Speaker 7 (01:32):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
My weekend was fantastic because I did my favorite thing
to do, which is absolutely nothing. The only thing I
want to tell y'all is that the NFL has to
do something about these Sunday night games that started a
thirty kay, because when the games, when these games come
on TV at eight thirty, between the commercials and everything else.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
They're they're there until we're there till like twelve thirty.

Speaker 8 (01:52):
Okay, Well I fell asleep about nine turn the ten
o'clock I knocked out.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
I was basically in bed all day yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
I'm between the couch and the bed, in the game,
in the bed, and I'm just sitting there, like, told
my wife, is this game going in the overtime because
our defense, the Cowboys defense, can't stop a goddamn thing. Okay,
and yes, that's exactly what happened about to come in today.
But then I was like, you know what, it's not
a good enough reason to do a show from home
just because the game was on late. So I was like,
you know, let me be responsible and wake up and

(02:19):
come to work. But the Cowboys have that kind of
effect on you. It's a very emotionally draining thing. And
then the game stays on so late.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
No, you got tied. You guys didn't even win. Who
ties anymore? People tied all the time.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
There's probably a tie every year, more than at least
every year for the past decade that I can remember,
it's been at least one tie.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
In the league.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Jesus and are last night too. I'm so pissed off.

Speaker 8 (04:21):
Ahead me, Good.

Speaker 10 (04:24):
Morning, Good morning. All right, y'all.

Speaker 11 (04:25):
So there's a lot to get through today, MBU, are right,
So much happening over the weekend and Sadly, we started
this morning with news of another mass shooting, this one
at a church in Michigan. Police say at least four
people were killed and eight others hurt after a gunman
drove his truck into the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter day Saints in Grand Blank Township. That's just right
outside of Flint, Michigan. Yes, authority say the gunman opened

(04:49):
fire on hundreds gathered for Sunday service, then fort gasoline
inside and started a fire. Now that chapel is now
a total loss, and investigators believe there are still more
victims inside that burned out building.

Speaker 12 (05:01):
Now.

Speaker 11 (05:01):
Police have identified the suspect as forty year old Thomas
Jacob Sandford, a Marine vet. He was shot and killed
by officers just minutes after the attack. The ATF says
explosive devices were also found at the scene. Witnesses describing
chaos but also bravery as church members were shielding children
and others were trying to rescue the elderly.

Speaker 10 (05:23):
Let's listen, So we were.

Speaker 13 (05:27):
Driving away, we were trying to gather as many people
as be could. There was a couple of elderly ladies
that we were trying to get into safety, so we
got them into our car. I saw the active shooter
come out of the building, and at that point I
just started trying to drive away. He pointed his gun
at our car and fired three shots. Two of them
went through a windshield and just missed me and luckily
everybody else. I think this is just glass shrapnel.

Speaker 9 (05:50):
That got me.

Speaker 13 (05:51):
And then we got out, and then that's now we're
just trying to kind of find out why and how
and what happened.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know, when I was young, my daddy used to
say that some people are so crazy that they will
shooting church, And now, in my big age of forty seven,
that seems like it's to know, and people are always
letting off in the church.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
It's crazy.

Speaker 10 (06:10):
It's crazy, very very very sad.

Speaker 11 (06:12):
So the FBI is calling an act of targeted violence.
There's still no motive. They're still trying to investigate why
this happened. And this comes less than twenty four hours
after news of another mass shooting, also by a Marine
vet who opened fire at a bar in North Carolina,
killing three and injuring eight.

Speaker 10 (06:29):
More So, two mass shootings over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
MS was cold and calculated, but man, you know, you
said he was a veteran, right, Yeah, I'm telling you
they don't be giving these veterans the psychological help they
need when they come home from these deployments a lot
of times.

Speaker 8 (06:45):
Not only that, but it's going to get to a
point where all synagogues, all churches, all schools are going
to need a security guard, like an armed security at
the door to make sure that. You're gonna have metal
detects that go in churches as well, but you're gonna
need some type of security in all these places to
make sure that you're safe.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
When your praying and you're worshiping and you going to school,
which is crazy.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Although they don't have, you know, the help that they need.
It's like why do that to a church? Wow, go
and do that? I mean you have sense enough to
know like what you're doing, you know.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
So I don't know. I just I think it's it's
sad on both ends.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
But it's definitely a lack of mental health services for
these for these veterans, because if it's not this, it's
high suicide.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Rates among amongst veterans.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Like I really don't think they take care of these
veterans psychologically when they come home like they where did
they go?

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Very sad.

Speaker 11 (07:30):
There's nowhere to go, all right, And from Michigan to Oregon,
where protests are once again in the spotlight. On Sunday,
President Trump ordering two hundred members of the Oregon National
Gardens of federal service for a sixty day deployment, saying
Portland was quote war ravaged and that federal facilities were
quote under siege.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
Now.

Speaker 11 (07:49):
By Sunday afternoon, protesters feel the streets of Portland's Ice Building.
Near Portland's Ice Building, the demonstrations were noisy, noisy, but
mostly peaceful, and federal agents with long gun were seen
on the rooftops, while Oregon's governor and state leaders quickly
filed a lawsuit to block that deployment, calling it unlawful
and insisting that Portland is not a war zone. And

(08:11):
there's a similar situation playing out this morning in Memphis.
Starting today, federal agents and National Guard units are being
deployed there as part of the administration's broader crime crackdown.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee says thirteen federal agencies will be involved,
including the FBI, the DEA, the ATF, along with three
hundred state troopers. Now, the guard will only serve enrolled.

(08:34):
They will not have guns unless the police requested. Governor
Lee called it a generational opportunity, while Memphis Mayor Paul
Young he acknowledged that residents on are concerned on both sides.
Lauren was actually in Memphis over the weekend and she
spoke to the mayor about how the city is preparing.

Speaker 10 (08:50):
Let's listen to them.

Speaker 14 (08:51):
Well, we are preparing, and you know, I've been trying
to articulate to people that we're different than Chicago with
la because our governor has said yes and the President
say yes. So as mayor, I don't have a sake
in whether they come or not. So what we're doing
now is working to align how they come, where they're
going to show up, what their assignments.

Speaker 9 (09:14):
Are going to be. So we're put together.

Speaker 14 (09:16):
A whole strategy of how we gaged, and we've been
having positive dialogues with the National of Art, major generals
and all of those.

Speaker 9 (09:24):
So, you know, my goal is.

Speaker 14 (09:25):
To try to keep them focused on folent crime, not
pay the crimes and things of that nature.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Who's deciding that these people need the military? Me me, Like,
what's going on in Portland and Memphis that they need
the military. Even when I was seeing people at the
CBC last week in DC, they was showing, you know,
videos of like the military just.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Sitting in front of downtown restaurants in DC, not.

Speaker 10 (09:49):
Doing nothing.

Speaker 11 (09:50):
And in Portland there's video of them riding their bike
and jump rope in and just literally sitting on the
grass reading a book.

Speaker 10 (09:56):
And meanwhile Trump is sending the National Guard.

Speaker 11 (09:58):
So you know, there's there's I think everybody, even the
mayors of the cities, are really trying to understand what
is behind this, and this is specifically in Memphis. If
you want more information, they have launched a website that
has a question and answer section that I really think
will help you if you're in Memphis or you have
a loved one in Memphis and really quick. That website

(10:19):
is Memphis TN dot forward slash Safe and Clean. So again,
Memphis TN dot gov forward Slash Safe and Clean. And
if you want to hear the full interview, it will
be on Lauren's podcast today. You can check that out
with Mayor Paul Young. Some interesting stuff there. So coming
up at seven though, the world's busiest airport just left

(10:40):
thirty seven million dollars on the table and we'll tell
you why and what's behind that decision.

Speaker 8 (10:45):
All right, and everybody else, get it off your chest.
Eight hundred five eight five one O five one. If
you need the vent phone lines wide open. Let us
know how your weekend was. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up, your time to
get it off your chest.

Speaker 9 (11:05):
You man blessed. We want to hear from you on
the breakfast blow. Hello.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Who is hi? My name is Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Hi.

Speaker 15 (11:13):
I've called him. I would say, first, I want to
say hi to Jest.

Speaker 16 (11:18):
I love you, Jess.

Speaker 15 (11:21):
I want to say Laura is one there.

Speaker 17 (11:25):
Okay?

Speaker 15 (11:25):
And Hi dj Emmy, and Hi Charlemaine, I love you all.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
Google every day.

Speaker 15 (11:35):
But I did want to say, d j Emmy, you
hung up on me a couple of times.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
That that that tracks. That sounds exactly.

Speaker 17 (11:42):
Right, yes, and Charlemagne, I will call it because I
had been wanting to get sort of to say something
to you about your visit on Laura Trump's show.

Speaker 15 (11:55):
And how on there. You know she told you that
if you had like all these less leaning guests and
they didn't have any right leaning guests, yep, and can
then he came back the next day on The Breakfast
Club and repeated that and how wrong that was and stuff,
and I just want to say, like that that was
a total why And I can't believe that you listened

(12:17):
to Laura Trump on that. And I mean I was
just about to google like right leaning guests on the
View because I can only remember one off of puff
my head. But I'm sure there were more. And I
know that Chris Christie was on there, and I do
know that they have had right leaning guests on there,

(12:38):
and I believe that they have invited others who refuse
to come on their show.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
So well, she was talking about the first seven months
of twenty and twenty five, and I mean, based off
all of the research and you know studies I've seen, Yes,
the View in the first seven months of twenty twenty
five had one hundred and two left lean guests and
zero conservatives.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
And that was according to the Media Research Center.

Speaker 18 (13:03):
Oh okay, yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Not in the I don't know, I don't know, not
in the history of the View, but in the first
seven months of twenty twenty five.

Speaker 19 (13:10):
Oh oh, I thought it was just talking about since.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Trump or oh no, no, no, she was.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
She was talking about the first seven months of twenty
twenty five they had one hundred and two left leaning
guests with zero conservatives. Now that's according to the Media
Research Center. And yes, I do think that's ridiculous, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 15 (13:29):
I think that's how But what's that because they didn't
invite any of them?

Speaker 5 (13:34):
I don't know. That's a great question. I really don't know.

Speaker 17 (13:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (13:37):
I did also want.

Speaker 15 (13:39):
To mention one more.

Speaker 8 (13:40):

Speaker 15 (13:45):

go from Pittsburgh, Okay. And there's a local group out here,

Trump administration is doing and how it's going to affect people.
And they call themselves the truth Tellers.

be airing on NBC. It'll go down in Santa Clair, California.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
Dropping the clues bombs for Bathroom.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
He's gonna kill it, yea, especially being that he said
he wouldn't do no shows in America because he didn't
want ICE to target his his concerts.

Speaker 22 (19:11):
Yes, and I'm actually, uh like really really looking forward
to the performance because when I was in Puerto Rico
his residency was happening there, everybody there was talking about
how amazing his stage performance.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
It was so sold out on what they had available.

Speaker 22 (19:26):
This is because it was like fifteen hundred at upward
price wise because it ran up because so many people
were excited American dollars. But I don't know how that converts. Yes, now, read,
I'm gonna need some help.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
We put together a little place, asked me, because you.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Like fake whatever it is.

Speaker 18 (19:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (19:43):
Now, we put together like a little playlist of like
what the songs could potentially be because Bad Bunny got
a lot of hits that he could run down, So we.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Put together a little mixed me read VICKI you know the.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Resident read as Puerto Rican is Dominican, Dominican, Dominican.

Speaker 22 (20:02):
Okay, well I trust them. I don't know about envy,
maybe showing up to parades and be getting awards and
I don't even understand why you're there. So I said,
listen to some of Bad Bunnies songs where you gotta
because I can't even pronounce.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
That's the same song, y'all not help you know, like
that's on the radio all day with Drake. Yes, I
don't listen to Bad Bunny, but I respect them. Show

(20:44):
that's fair.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, it's gonna be a good show.

Speaker 22 (20:46):
Well rumored before the Bad Bunny announcement to do the
super Bowl had time show where Taylor Swift and Adele
Thank God, we.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Ain't getting either one of those love dropping the food
bombs for God not giving us any of that cast role.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
We're getting my fun door, none of those girls.

Speaker 18 (21:02):
Though I love it.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
I don't see a super Bowl ahead time.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Yes, Taylor.

Speaker 16 (21:08):
Like a.

Speaker 9 (21:11):
Rain.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
During the super Bowl.

Speaker 22 (21:12):
Halftime before UH and the Taylor Swift rumor, Roger Goodell
was actually on UH and he was talking about Taylor
Swift and the potential of the possibility of her doing
the Super Bowl show, So that like kind of reped
up the anticipation thinking that something would go down. But
there were reports that there was like a contract situation
with her. But I think Bad Bunny is a better.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
Choice, is the perfect choice. I'm sure.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Roger Goodell whispered the Rock Nation, like, you know, is
this the year we can get Taylor? Maybe she's gone
to al I'm coming out.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
And it was like no man, and for everybody, right,
for everybody.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yes, and.

Speaker 22 (21:46):
Bad Bunny for the NFL released a quote on the announcement.
He says, what I'm feeling goes beyond myself. It is
for those who came before me and ran countless yards
so I could come in and score a touchdown. This
is for my people, my culture, and our history. Then
he said something to Spanish that I Am not going
to attempt to read.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Try dollar a too. Well, you gotta do hit the
translate button, grandmother.

Speaker 22 (22:10):
Yes, well, I know, well that's grim Quest said almost
halftime showed Dell super.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
Just hit translate, give dot the word Puerto Rican grandmother.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
He's probably you can't wait in Spanish, give.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
It to.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Get in his household. You definitely can't do it.

Speaker 9 (22:31):
What's wrong with it?

Speaker 5 (22:32):
It's the last line, the last line. Okay, uh what he.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Go in and great the quotes if you can make
somebody type out, oh.

Speaker 22 (22:44):
My God, give me, give me, come on, come on,
you're not Spanish, little dislike Alright, this.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Is beneath That's what I said.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
That's bad Bundy is absolutely the right choice dropping the
clothes bombs for I can't wait to watch his grandmother.

Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah all right, yeah, good streak.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
It's a good streak. Rock Nation hasn't missed yet with
the time all.

Speaker 22 (23:08):
Yeah, and jay Z says, you know what bad Bunny
has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico, it's
truly inspiring.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
We are honored to have him on the world's biggest stage.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
And I wonder how it was it hard to convince
him because he was adamant about not doing any shows
in the US because he didn't want to like to
talk at the concerts.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
It is a big stage.

Speaker 22 (23:25):
But I also think too, you got like rock Nation
to work with, and if that's a concern, they do
a lot for people in like the community space, So
maybe there's like a bigger initiative that they might roll
out around this too, if that is a conversation. But yes,
so in other news, so we reported on ray Ja
and those Kim Kardashian Chris Jenner Rico claims. A while back,
we received a statement from the Kardashians attorney Alex Spiro,

(23:49):
who says ray J's claims about any Rico involving the
Kardashians are not true.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
That's an update there.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
Yes, yes, he said that was clear, clear.

Speaker 22 (24:00):
That was that was it, but they're not true now
and other news, so this is actually unfortunate news. So
Terrence Crawford, uh frider Terance Crawford was celebrating, he was
celebrating his win in his hometown and he was also
uh you know, celebrating his birthday over.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
The weekend, and on the way leaving the.

Speaker 22 (24:18):
Birthday celebration, he was actually pulled over by police and
held that gun point.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Let's take a listen to the video.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Seabl right, I'm keeping on, I'm not reaching for.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Can I can?

Speaker 17 (24:38):
I know.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
That's crazy, all that serious.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
God and all that extra serious.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Seriously not that Yeah, it's it's a damn shame that
a brother like Terrence Crawford who on Maha absolutely he loves.
If you was watching Instagram this weekend, you saw all
the I mean the sea of people that were out
there for Terrence Crawfit, people of all racists, people of
all ages, just coming together to celebrate their hometown hero Bud.
And you got a couple of cops who just wanted

(25:14):
to ruin his night for no reason.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yes, which makes.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Which makes no sense right this reason.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
Only a population of four hundred and fifty five thousand
people there, like, they know who Terrence Crawford is, They
know who Bud is, They know it. Bud was going
he had armed security license, armed security.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
It's just fact, like he said, they pulled him obile
for reckless driving right now.

Speaker 22 (25:30):
Yeah, So the police said that before one thirty am
local time of Nebraska, officers stopped the vehicle that he
was in and they said that he was that the
vehicle was driving recklessly. During the traffic stop, the police
officers say that they observed a firearm on the driver's
side floorboard and for safety, all of the occupants were
ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint. The driver of
the vehicle was identified as Terrence Crawford and he was

(25:53):
issued a citation for reckless driving. All four occupants in
the car were legally permitted to carry firearms, including a
member of car for security team who was carrying his
own weapon at the time of the traffic stop. Police
officer and a lieutenant have also respond also responded to
the scene, and I do know. The mayor released a
statement he said that you know, he learned about the
police stop and he was, you know, disheartened after learning

(26:14):
about this. He says that he spoke personally the terrence
or to Bud Crawford, and he says that he acknowledges
the seriousness of what occurred and how trust between law
enforcement and the community is important and shows that this
needs to be that they need to be vigilant about
building this relationship.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
The mayor is saying that the.

Speaker 22 (26:30):
Police chief, tat a guy named Todd Shadmir has pledged
an internal investigation, which the mayor says he fully supports
because they want to be full and thorough. They plan
to gather all the facts and be transparent with the
public about their findings. When it comes to this stop,
he says that his heart dropped and learning that this
is how the day ended. It was an otherwise wonderful
day for Terrence. He was celebrating in Omaha, Nebraska. You know,

(26:53):
he was celebrating being world boxing champion, and then there
was you know, the parade and his birthday. So for
the day to end like that was just heartbreaking for him.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
And then you know, it's Terrence Crawford. You've been watching
him all day, right.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
I would just assume that he has the same security team,
you know, for the most part, So you I would
think that if you're a police officer in this city,
you would know him, and you would know all these individuals.
And it's in Nebraska open carry, So why would you
react like that if you see if you saw a
firearm in the car, especially with Terrence Crawford driving, Like
come on, man, Like, yeah, I don't think there's a

(27:24):
need to react with by drawing your guns and telling
them to get out the car.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
Very scary situation to do your job. He feels like
any if they would have moved anyway, you could have
lost his life.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Yeah, and you know you want you got to do
your job as a police officer, But come on, man,
this is it's Terrence Crawford driving you just saw this
big parades having and he's with his security.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Why would you ever assume anything negative was going on.

Speaker 22 (27:46):
I'm not for sure, but I mean they're gonna have
to definitely make sure that this is going to have
to be explained. So hopefully, you know, they got they
got to think of some answers. So we'll be, you know,
keeping up with what happens. But you know he is
okay though, that is yeah, thank god.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
And check that police officer's Paulaise. Let's see if you
lost any money.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
A plan you never know. That's crazy, you never know.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
Check is parulais go check everything is draft kings and
brides fixed everything. Let's see if you put any money
on Canelo or he might just be a little salty
because he lost.

Speaker 8 (28:17):
All right, well that's the latest with Lauren. Now when
we come back, we got front page news and don't
go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (28:22):
It's to the breakfast Club. Good morning, I'm morning. Everybody

Speaker 8 (28:26):

They got to start these games two hours early. Bro,
there's no reason for games were starting eight fifteen, eight thirty.

Speaker 9 (29:08):
Yeah. I think that's labustion too.

Speaker 8 (29:10):
I mean, like I said, I felt, let's sleep on
the Cowboys game last night.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
What's up, Mimi?

Speaker 10 (29:14):
Good morning everyone? How y'all doing this morning?

Speaker 5 (29:17):
Black and Holly faedit, How you doing, Mimi?

Speaker 10 (29:19):
Good good, thanks for asking.

Speaker 11 (29:21):
Okay, So to this story that everyone's talking about this morning,
We're going to start with a dramatic turn in the
New York City politics with Mayor Eric Adams, he's officially
dropping out the race, in the race for a second term,
just five weeks before election day. So Charlemagne, let's flash
back to last week. Less than a minute into his
interview on the Breakfast Club, you asked him if he

(29:41):
was dropping out.

Speaker 10 (29:42):
Let's listen to that.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
You know a question everybody keeps asking, are you dropping
out of the mayor race?

Speaker 23 (29:47):
And you know what, I answered that one hundred and
one time I said, no, I'm not. Our goal is
to finish this race.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
You know, over the past weekend you didn't attend any
public events while a lot of your I was without campaigning,
and people use that to fuel.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
More speculation that you're preparing to drive out. So how
do you respond to that?

Speaker 9 (30:06):
Sick too much to Charlemagne.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
No matter what I said, they.

Speaker 9 (30:09):
Did it anyway.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
So you're pulling in fourth place right now? Yeah, what
makes you think you can steal?

Speaker 23 (30:14):
What I must do in these campaigns is I need
my money?

Speaker 11 (30:19):
You gave them several times to answer the question, Charlemagne,
and he said each time that he is saying in
the race.

Speaker 14 (30:27):
Well.

Speaker 11 (30:27):
By Sunday his tone had changed, and then the nearly
nine minute video posted to x set to Frank Sinatra's
My Way, Itams admitted he can no longer see a
path to re election.

Speaker 10 (30:37):
Let's listen to that.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
I cannot continue my re election campaign.

Speaker 23 (30:43):
The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign
finance Board's decision to with whole millions of dollars have
undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a
serious campaign.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
We knew that, man, And this is what makes politicians
look ridiculous to us, to weed the people, because we
see what we know we see, and y'all be trying
to tell us we don't see it, and then things
like this happen, And now you got to admit we
were right the whole time.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
But you never admit we were right the whole time. Yeah,
pretty bad.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
I mean, he was polling for if I think I
think everybody knew he was gonna drop out, but he
said he was gonna fight to the end.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
So the end with Sunday again, sold is on Thursday.
He's gonna fight to the end, end with Sunday.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
And with Sunday, the.

Speaker 10 (31:28):
End was clearly Sunday.

Speaker 11 (31:29):
And so his exit now clears the way for former
Governor Andrew Cuomo running as an independent while Democratic Socialist
is Rwan Mandami.

Speaker 10 (31:36):
He is a clear front runner.

Speaker 11 (31:38):
A new poll has him up twenty points, with affordability, crime,
and economy topping voters concerns. Mandami came out blasting both
Adams and Cuomo, saying billionaire donors will not dictate this election,
and Republican nominee Curtis Lee while he skipped over Adams entirely,
insisting he is the only one who can beat Mondami

(31:58):
and Cuomo, meanwhile praising Adams for putting the city above
personal ambition. And just one thing to note, Adam's name
will still be on the ballot because it's too late
to remove it, but his campaign is over, So do
not be.

Speaker 10 (32:12):
Confused if you see it there. He's out of the race.

Speaker 11 (32:14):
You want to make sure that your vote goes to
a candidate who is still in the race.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Well, a millionaire do'an is about to put everything behind Cuomo.
So I hope Mundani is ready. I hope Mundannie's ready
for every single, you know, personal attack that is going
to happen to him over the next couple of months.

Speaker 11 (32:28):
Yeah, it's definitely coming, and we're just now one day
away from a possible government shut down, and the Trump
administration is raising the stakes. President Trump is threatening to
lay off thousands of federal workers permanently if funding runs
out tomorrow night at midnight, and the White House Budget
Office has directed agencies to prepare plans identifying programs that

(32:49):
will lose money on October October first, if Congress fails
to act now.

Speaker 10 (32:54):
In the past shut.

Speaker 11 (32:55):
Down workers, they're usually temporarily out of work and brought
back once funding is restored, but this time, the Office
of Management and Budget is signaling that many of those
jobs will be cut off for good, which is a
sharp break from President Now Lawmakers they do remain gridlock.
Democrats insists any funding deal must include the Affordable Care
Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year,

(33:18):
while Republicans argue that those discussions should wait. They want
a clean bill to simply extend the funding now. Trump
is expected to meet with congressional leaders at the White
House later today, but with the deadline looming tomorrow at midnight,
the risk of a shutdown and the possibility of mass
layoffs is very very real.

Speaker 10 (33:36):
That's where we are with that.

Speaker 11 (33:37):
And lastly, if you travel through Atlanta Airport often this
story is for you. The world's busiest airport just turned
down thirty seven million dollars in federal funding to stand
firm on its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now
that money was part of a larger fifty seven million
dollar FAA package for restroom upgrades, taxiway repairs, and sustainability projects.

(34:01):
Earlier this year, the Trump administration they added a new
rule that airports taking federal money must declare their DEI
efforts will not conflict with federal law. Well cities like
New York, San Francisco, and Boston. They sued, but Atlanta
tried to strike the language from its grant agreement, but
the FAA refused, and so city officials didn't sign, and

(34:22):
days later the federal government confirmed the money was off
the table. So Atlanta says the trap that this money
will not make a difference, You will not notice it.
They point that federal money only makes up ten percent
of their airport's ten billion dollar capital plan, and they
will find other ways to fund upgrades without disrupting passengers.
But they did not want to get rid of their
DEI programs. S.

Speaker 5 (34:43):
Dope, we's allude to the Atlanta A dope.

Speaker 10 (34:45):
Yeah, so that's your front page news. I'm me MEI Brown.
Follow me at Mimi Brown TV.

Speaker 11 (34:51):
For more news, follow the Black Information Network and download
the free iHeartRadio app or visit biannews dot com.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
Thank you, Mimi, Thank you Ja.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
All right, when we come back, we have the cast
of Ruth and Boaz joining us Davon, Franklin, Sorea, and
Tyler Lepley, and we'll talk to them next.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
And don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ Envy just so larious.

Speaker 8 (35:17):
Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. He got
some special guests in the building this morning. INDEEDVN, Franklin,
Soria and Tyler Lepley welcome.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
If you call her Soriat.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
I'm sorry, Soriety, something like something. I gotta go to CVS.
I gotta get something for the you you about, and
I got a lot better.

Speaker 18 (35:45):
Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Film family.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
They have a movie on Netflix called Ruth and bow As, right,
and you know, if you know any thing about Ruth
and Boas is a biblical story. So what elements of
the original biblical story of Ruth and bow as did
y'all preserve for this film?

Speaker 12 (36:07):
Man, we preserved a lot of the element when you
go and you read the Book of Ruth and then
you look at the movie. You know, everything that we
did in the film was basically rooted in the word.
You know, her journey, you know with Naomi, how she
finds Boaz, and we really wanted to say, Okay, this
is what the scripture says, but then how do we
make it modern?

Speaker 9 (36:25):
And so everything you see in the.

Speaker 12 (36:26):
Film, it's I think we did a pretty good job,
you know, of making sure that anything that you see
in that film you can go back to a verse
and say, this is where we got it from.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Was it difficult modernizing the story though.

Speaker 12 (36:36):
I mean, there's no rule book on how to modernize
a Bible story, so it was challenging. But then there
were certain things that were pretty easy because the story
itself lays out like a movie, you know, And that's
one of the reasons why I wanted to produce it.
This is why I wanted to make it is because
when you see how Ruth and Boas come together, they're
not looking for love.

Speaker 9 (36:55):
They're actually looking to be of service.

Speaker 12 (36:56):
And as part of that commitment, they find each other,
and so when you see it, it was like, Okay,
you know, what would Moab look like? Well, maybe that's
like the Atlanta music scene. And what would you know,
Bethlehem look like? Okay, well maybe that's like Pegrim, Tennessee.
So it was difficult, but ultimately we just had to
kind of take those creative license and hopefully the audience
will enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Now you have a dealing with Tyler Perry. How did
that come about?

Speaker 17 (37:17):
Man?

Speaker 12 (37:17):
So listen. So about a couple of years ago, after
I did my film Flaming Hot, I'm sitting at home
and I didn't have a production deal. So if you
know anything about Hollywood, in order to have a production company,
you have to have a production deal with the studio
because that's how you have employees and that's how you
make your films. So even though Flaming Hot did very well,
I did not have a deal. And so I was
sitting at home and I was like, okay, God, what
what what do you want me to do? And out

(37:39):
of the blue, my phone rings and it's Tyler Perry
and he said, hey, man, I hear you're making a
deal with Netflix. Now I had a meeting at Netflix
a few months before, but I didn't know. There wasn't
really a whole lot of follow ups. I wasn't sure
what was going on. But he called me and said, Yo,
I hear you. You're making a deal with Netflix. Let's
partner up and do it together. And I was like, Yes,
let's do it. And so we negotiated a three picture

(38:01):
deal with Netflix. This is the first of its kind.
You've never seen, you know, two black men of faith
coming together to make content and faith, you know, with
the biggest streamer in the world. And that to me,
like when you look at Tyler like I don't know
why God put that on his mind, but here I
am trying to figure it out. Boom and there was
the answer. And to be able to make Ruth and Boaz,
I mean, to be able to make it the way
we wanted to make it, to have the creative, creative

(38:23):
autonomy and the authority, and to be able to put
it together, you know, with such an incredible cast. It
all came from the partnership.

Speaker 22 (38:30):
How did it feel Because when the screen opens for
the movie, it's.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Your name, then it's Tyler Perry Studios.

Speaker 22 (38:35):
And I was like, that is so cool. How did
it feel for you the first time you saw that
on listen?

Speaker 9 (38:40):
This is what faith works. That's how it felt. It
felt gratifying.

Speaker 12 (38:43):
You know, as a kid, I always had the dream
of making my own films. That's why I came to Hollywood.
I wanted to have my own production company. And to
see that on screen Devon Franklin Entertainment, Tyler Perry Studios,
and Ruth and Boaz, It's like, Wow, dreams do come
true and faith works.

Speaker 9 (38:59):
So it felt good.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
So Sorian Taler, did y'all know the story of Ruth
and Boy and Tyler? Did y'all know the story of
Ruth and Boy?

Speaker 16 (39:15):
I did, like roughly, you know, just growing up in church,
you here of Ruth and Boaz. But I never really
explicitly read the book of Ruth and until doing this
this story, getting more information on it.

Speaker 9 (39:29):
Yeah, I mean that to sound like a heathen. But
I didn't grow up in the church or nothing like that.

Speaker 24 (39:32):
But I have heard about you know, I have heard
about the story of Ruth and Bois a little bit.
So when it was time to actually dive into it once,
I you know, once I had booked it, you know,
I read up on it a little bit to to
you know, just at least have to have some type
of foundation in terms of, you know, find the truth
and how we're gonna figure it out.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
But after you read Aster, how much of Ruth's story.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Could you relate to personally? I mean, she went through
so much.

Speaker 16 (39:56):
She has a lot of a lot of baggage and trauma,
deep deep traumas. But I do resonate with her on
having like an instinct to reroute and change things in
my life and maybe stepping out on faith on things
that I'm not necessarily sure is gonna work out.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
But hey, I want to be an actress.

Speaker 16 (40:18):
That sounds pretty far fetched to a lot of the world,
So I can. I can get where her fire and
her passion is coming from.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
How are you baby? Well? Thank you? Thank you as well,
thank you as your mental everything is good. I mean,
because you're working.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
You had that baby working out, you know, your mommy,
but now you're you're still actress, singer, mommy out does
that all fit?

Speaker 16 (40:42):
It's it's actually one day at a time, yeah, you know,
And just having that grace for myself that I don't
have to have all together has been the biggest I
guess lesson for me throughout all of.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
This, but it's been great, thank God.

Speaker 16 (40:57):
I mean, you know after that first month where I
was like, yeah, you know, now it's just like I
could use to sleep.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
But that's about it.

Speaker 16 (41:06):
I'm good.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I'm good.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
I want to ask you know, when doing a faith
based movie, right, growing up as a kid, when you
hear anything faith based, you thinking it's gonna be nothing
but Christian singing, it's not.

Speaker 5 (41:16):
It's gonna be that type of thing.

Speaker 8 (41:17):
Did you have did you ever think about, well, maybe
I don't want to do it because it's faith based,
or did you just dive.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
Right in personally?

Speaker 15 (41:23):
No?

Speaker 16 (41:23):
I mean I feel like God has always been very
much a part of my life, and I do. I
do think that made you laugh, Yeah, because Devon Actually
we worked on Kingdom Business together B and C Plus,
which was also a faith faith based and I really
feel like sometimes God is funny and the way of

(41:44):
presenting me with characters that I kind of like in
life for a little bit marrying as far as like
their relationship with God. So it's kind of funny for
me to to have played Rebel and Kingdom Business and
now Ruth and Ruth and Boaz, right, So that's why
I laughed.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
But no, it really did not deter me at all.

Speaker 16 (42:02):
If anything determined me was the music, because I played
so many music characters, so that that was the part.

Speaker 9 (42:09):
She took a little convincing.

Speaker 12 (42:11):
I was like, come on, She said no at first, Well,
she didn't want to come in to audition because it
was a little music driven.

Speaker 9 (42:17):
So I had to hit her up.

Speaker 12 (42:18):
I was like, Yo, trust me, you're gonna want to
do this, come on in.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
And so thankfully she That was mirroring in your life
because you know this this is like, this story is
about God's timing and divine orchestration. So what was what
was going on in your life when you got to
call for this?

Speaker 15 (42:32):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (42:32):
My goodness so much. But I could say that love
was also on the brink for me, like I was
in a new relationship with this role. I found out
I was pregnant. Like during while filming, there was a
lot of things kind of with Ruth that I was

(42:52):
in the in the script and some of the things
she says kind of just rang true for me.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
What about you even what you did?

Speaker 24 (43:04):
Yeah, I think I think for me, you know, when
I when I got the call, I was just in
a space last year.

Speaker 9 (43:11):
I mean even before last year.

Speaker 24 (43:13):
Uh you know, like I said, I never grew up
in the church, but it was something that I was
always seeking. I'm saying it was sought after for me,
and you know, it started spiritually. But then I you know,
then I kind of wanted to go to church more
and you know, just just show up in.

Speaker 9 (43:25):
The place of worship, not just to kind of feel
it on the inside.

Speaker 24 (43:28):
So I think for me outside of the artistry and
me wanting to be able to tackle role like this,
I've never done a uh you know, a love story before.

Speaker 9 (43:38):
You know, the.

Speaker 24 (43:38):
Aspect of it being a faith based film is actually
something that was kind of right on top for me.
You know, I just I just proposed to at the time,
you know, my girlfriend, we were obviously my fiance now so.

Speaker 9 (43:50):
Even just thank you, I appreciate that.

Speaker 24 (43:53):
But but even miracle, but even you know, making a
choice to go ahead and and honor our union under God,
and you know, making that choice and walking forward in
it or uh, you know, I've just I've had I've
had some issues in life where you know, choosing to
handle it with with with grace is something that's continuing

(44:16):
to be on the forefront of my mind and whatnot.

Speaker 9 (44:18):
So it was just it was just perfect time.

Speaker 24 (44:19):
And so I actually actually love diving into the to
the faith based aspect.

Speaker 5 (44:23):
Of it that I was working with. The icon, the legend,
Miss Felicia.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
My gosh, talk about it.

Speaker 16 (44:30):
She said something really cool. I mean, it was amazing
for me. I think we all have really cool stories
about her. She she brings this or in this presence
and this groundedness, and she's also very humble to be
the icon and the person we're speaking about. She's like, oh,
thank you, like you know, you know, let's let's talk
about you now.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
And I think that's really cool aspect to her.

Speaker 16 (44:52):
We many times in our cast hares we're just talking
about like relationships and just different things.

Speaker 10 (44:58):
Like she's she's a really really dope human being.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
Y'all did use a stunt double when she got pushed down.

Speaker 9 (45:07):
Just making thing about her.

Speaker 12 (45:09):
She was cool with being on the ground.

Speaker 9 (45:11):
She was, Yes, The thing about her is that.

Speaker 12 (45:16):
She was like, y'all stop stop it, like I got it.

Speaker 9 (45:19):
So she did do.

Speaker 12 (45:20):
She didn't get the hip part, but she definitely fell
on the she wanted to, Yeah, far enough to make.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
My heart.

Speaker 22 (45:31):
I was like, oh my god, why would you do that?
Like you cannot just put her on the ground.

Speaker 12 (45:37):
She the reason why she is that way is because
she takes her craft serious. Yeah, and not only that,
I means what Sorea was saying. You know, every day
that she was on set, her aura. You know, she brought,
you know, excellen, she brought grace, she brought a sense
of calm, peace, and I'll never forget. You know. One
day we were shooting at the location for her house
and it overlooks a lake, and so in between setups,

(45:58):
you know, I hear this voice saying, you know, Devine,
come and I turn around and it's Miss Felicious. She's
sitting on a bench. She says, come here, and she
pats on the bench. She says, sit down, and I
said yeah. She said, you know, you're working really hard,
this is your movie, but you got to breathe. You
got to take all this in. Wow, don't just you know,
rush through the fruits of your labor.

Speaker 9 (46:16):
Take it in. And I said, wow.

Speaker 12 (46:18):
Took a moment to breathe, and then we started talking
about you know, our histories and you know, sharing stories,
and I said, Wow, this is what it's like to
have an elder in your presence. They see the potential
and they see it, but they also want you to know, Hey,
life is a is a marathon, not a sprint, relaxed,
enjoy and so that that's a moment that just speaks
to who she is.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Do you ever get in posta syndrome in those moments,
like when you're doing a film and you have to
think yourself like, ah, man, I'm doing a film for Netflix.

Speaker 5 (46:42):
I got far, I got I got Tyler, lovely Tyler.

Speaker 9 (46:46):
No, I don't.

Speaker 12 (46:47):
I don't get imposter syndrome. I mean because you know,
I've been working in entertainment since i was eighteen years old. Uh,
and I've been working specifically, you know, in film ever
since then. And so when I'm making a movie, you know,
I'm making a movie like from a place of experience, expertise,
and nobody knows how to make a movie a faith
that's commercial better than me and so I and that's
not based upon arrogance, that's just based upon confidence and

(47:09):
experience and having done it time and time and time again.
And so when I'm on set, you know, if anything
I'm like, Okay, what am I not thinking about?

Speaker 9 (47:18):
You know, is there?

Speaker 12 (47:19):
And then also, you know, wanting to make sure that
they're good. You know, at the end of the day,
I can do all things I can do, But at
the end of the day, if the talent doesn't feel
if I'm saying, hey, I want to make movies of
inspiration and faith, and the experience behind the scene isn't
inspirational or positive, then I think it kind of undermines
what I'm trying to do. And I make sure that
they're good.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
Now, I'm glad you said that, because the film portrays
these ideas of worthiness and acceptance, especially in regard to
boas is like evolution and transformation.

Speaker 9 (47:46):
Yeah, yeah, it was important.

Speaker 12 (47:47):
That was really important because I really wanted, you know,
you know, any man watching this movie, any woman as well,
but you know, specifically, you know, any man watching this
movie to see themselves in Boaz. And I think one
of the things that's so you know, noble in a power.
And also the way that Tyler plays Boaz is you know,
with the care and the tenderness, and he's not looking
to get from Ruth, He's looking to give to Ruth.

(48:08):
You know, and I think that that is that's a
different dynamic, and I really wanted to make sure that
that was articulated and portrayed because that, to me, is
where love is. You know, love comes out of sacrifice.
Like and I'm not trying to get from you.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
He didn't need anything from her.

Speaker 9 (48:23):
All, he really. I mean what was cool about Ruth.

Speaker 12 (48:24):
All she provided him was was a safe space to
be able to talk, to be able to communicate, to
be heard, and that is how she expressed her love
and he expressed his love through giving to make sure
she knew she was okay.

Speaker 6 (48:35):
So that was important to me as far as casting
went right, Like did you say because I feel like
every role that Tyler plays and every role that Sorea plays,
it seems like it's specifically for them.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
They just do a great job with it.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
Did you know who you had in mind when you
were when you said, okay, I want to do Ruth
and BoA's story.

Speaker 12 (48:53):
When I started the process, I didn't. I just was
working on getting the script right. Mike Elliott and Corey
and wrote the script, and our amazing director Lina Brown,
you know, directed the movie. And so once we got
into the casting process, that's when I said, oh, this
is Sorea, and so I kept hitting up her team,
like hey, when she coming in, when she coming in audition,

(49:13):
and then that's when I finally ultimately called her and
said hey, come in. And then when she auditioned, it
was like, oh, well there's Ruthe. But with Boaz, I
didn't know that Tyler Lepley was going to come in.
I knew like I wanted a guy who you know,
had the the gravitas, had the sex appeal, but also
had the heart. But I didn't know that he was
you know, I didn't. I didn't even it wasn't even
the thought. And then we had a couple of guys

(49:34):
we were chemistry reading with Soirea and at the eleventh hour,
Tyler Lepley sends in a self tape and I watched
the self tape and I'm like, well, there's Boaz. I mean,
without any direction, he just dropped into the essence of
the character. And we were like, okay, he did it,
and we brought him in, did a chemistry read, and
it was evident that they were the ones destined to
play these parts.

Speaker 5 (49:55):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
I had to finish plan because Tyler said this, it
was right on top, and because he was already talking
to the Lord, I.

Speaker 8 (50:07):
Was gonna tell you, how did you know this one
was for you? Because you sent in that tape immediately?
So how did you know that? Like this this part
for me.

Speaker 24 (50:14):
I think I think it really dawned on me after
I after I had uh sent the tape in, we
did the chemistry read, which is funny too because we
were actually on a different set shooting something else together.

Speaker 9 (50:25):
So you know, that was that was a unique experience.

Speaker 24 (50:28):
But after I had after I had booked it, we
had a scheduling conflict with with this in p Valley
were shooting at the same time, and you know, there
was a period of time where, you know, per the
line producers, these are the ones who deal with the schedule.

Speaker 9 (50:46):
This this wasn't gonna work. So there was a few days.

Speaker 24 (50:48):
Like even me and Devin were you know, kind of
chatting back and forth on the text and like, you know,
the energy was kind of like all right, well, you know,
i'll see, i'll see, I'll catch you next time. And
it was like, damn, that's what that's kind of next time?
I said, man, I said, there was something about this
that just it just felt special because kind of what
I was talking about earlier, you know, trying to get
in touch with the Lord, and then you know, it

(51:10):
just it just felt like this was going to be special.
And and I was like, man, I ain't going down
without a fight.

Speaker 9 (51:16):
You know.

Speaker 24 (51:16):
I played baseball for one year and I was always
I was always striking out, but I was always going down.
Looking my mom told me like, man, you got to
at least you're going down, you gotta swing. So I
was like, all right, well, let me pick the phone up,
let me call, let me call de Vne, and let
me call Kature because you know, everybody, everybody at the
studio saying they can't can't figure this out, and uh,
you know, really really it was it was because of

(51:37):
you and Katuri the reason that I was. I was
blessed enough to be able to step into this role,
you know what I'm saying. So as I look back
on it, you know, hindsight is always twenty twenty. When
I look at how you know, God orchestrated it, it
was like, man, it was I was, I was right
on point. This is something that I felt like I
was destined to do. So man, I appreciate you.

Speaker 12 (51:54):
No, absolutely, I would just interject on that you know,
what God has for you is for you. And so
you know, Katori and I, you know, got on the
phone and went through that schedule and said, okay, you
need him here, I need him here.

Speaker 9 (52:05):
Okay, I can't give you that date, but can you
give me that date?

Speaker 12 (52:08):
And then we went to the line producers and then
the studios and say this is what it is. And
a lot of times they're like, well, you got to
have insurance and said no, Me and Katory a brother
and sister, we worked it out as he needs to
be able to do both. So whatever is for you,
just stay in it and keep fighting for it because
when it's meant to be, it'll be.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
You know, the secular ambitions that that roof has right
with the spiritual calling she's dealing with too.

Speaker 5 (52:32):
Have any of y'all ever had the deal with that
in the industry and if so.

Speaker 9 (52:36):
How did you resolve? I'm sorry? What was it again?

Speaker 4 (52:40):
The secular ambitions that roof has also the spiritual calling
she's dealing with. Have you any have y'all ever had
that battle with y'all personal experiences in the industry it's.

Speaker 9 (52:49):
Been a long week breaking down a secular and sterns
what's up?

Speaker 5 (52:52):
Secular? Worldly, non religious? I don't I want you to
be over here?

Speaker 9 (53:07):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, I would say. I would say
for me.

Speaker 24 (53:11):
When I was coming out of uh now I'm from
right outside of Philly, and I was, uh, you know,
on my own levels.

Speaker 9 (53:17):
You know, I was making a little bit of money.

Speaker 24 (53:18):
I was, I was kind of doing my thing, you know,
at least so I thought. But nothing made sense for
me to go out to l A, you know, but
something was, something was calling me. I felt like God was,
you know, God was pushing me in that direction, and
it was you know, it was a battle too to
leave everything that I've ever known, you know, to chase
something that I've never seen. You know, I feel it,

(53:40):
and so so I do feel like I can connect
with Ruth on that because I forget what the actual
line is, but like it's it's one of those lines,
one of those memorable lines where she talks about, you know,
God is leading me somewhere else and it's nothing that
anybody else around me can may really be able to understand,
but it's something that I feel, and it's something that
I'm going to honor, you know, So I really connect
with Ruth on that aspect for sure.

Speaker 16 (54:02):
What about you, Sarah, I don't know if I've ever
felt like I was being pulled away from what God
wanted for me or what I felt like innately inside
of me. But I could say that it is hard

(54:23):
to navigate when you do have that voice inside of
you because there is a lot to there's a lot
to be involved with when it comes to our industry.
So when thinking about it from that aspect, I can
say I said no to a lot of hangouts and
dealings with people, and thank god I did, because I

(54:43):
didn't really know why I was saying no, but I
just knew I didn't feel necessarily comfortable or I felt
like a weird vibe. So I just decided not to
be out and about and doing different things. And now
looking back on that, I am grateful that I kind
of followed that voice because there are a lot of
situations I realized that, oh yeah, that person was definitely

(55:06):
up to no good asking me to do av ANDC
you know what I mean. So I think that there's
there's definitely.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
A lot of that while navigating this industry.

Speaker 5 (55:15):
For sure, what about you because you have answered your
calling spiritual calling, Yeah, but you still have you still
want to be successful in this business?

Speaker 9 (55:22):
Sure? Sure.

Speaker 12 (55:22):
I mean for me it was like the ambition always
has been to go to a secular environment. Right when
you look at Hollywood and you know, some may argue
it's one of the most secular environments on the planet.
But for me, you know, when I first started, I
didn't know I was going to be making content that
would be inspirational or faith based at all. But I
did have a sense of I don't want to compromise

(55:43):
my soul.

Speaker 9 (55:45):
To open the door of this business.

Speaker 12 (55:48):
So like at eighteen years old, you know, first internship interview,
they asked me, you know, this is what it was
for the company that managed will Smith, and they said,
is there anything else you want us to know? And
I said, well, you know, I observe sabage, so if
take in this internship would require me to work on
the Sabbath, I won't take it. So at that point
in time, I wasn't really doing consciously. I was just saying,
this is my conviction, you know, like I don't want

(56:08):
to compromise who I am in my identity for this business.
And then what happened was they said, sure, no problem,
and I got the internship and every job that I've
ever had goes back to that internship. And so what
that showed me is that you can be in a
secular environment and still maintain your spirituality because I don't
believe that God would ordain success for any of us
that requires us to compromise who we are. Because if

(56:31):
it's like wait, if it's God, no honor who you
He he has created you to be.

Speaker 9 (56:35):
And if that door opens, walk through it.

Speaker 12 (56:36):
But if it doesn't, do not conform yourself to get
that because what's on the other side of that door
is you're going to need the faith that you left
in the identity you left outside the door to be successful.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
So that's part yeah.

Speaker 12 (56:51):
Yeah, yeah, So for me, it was it was just
about incorporating the essence of who I am and the
identity and in the spirituality and being a Christian and
allowing God to nab gate my path in this you know,
secular environment.

Speaker 22 (57:02):
Earlier, Soria, when you guys are talking about you almost
I answered the call to do the role, did you
say it was because music was involved? So you don't
that was something you didn't want to do anymore?

Speaker 16 (57:12):
Well, yes, and no, I think that there are Like
I think because of the last few roles that I
have done or been a part of, had that female
who was you know, navigating, but also had a music element,
and I am also like putting out music, and so
I wanted to just be mindful of gotcha just where

(57:34):
that was placed in me. But honestly, like Devon said this,
this film is a lot more than the music.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
It's not just the music. And I hadn't I didn't
know it at the time.

Speaker 16 (57:47):
But I got to work with Babyface, so that was
so that was amazing. So but yeah, that was kind
of like my reasoning behind behind it.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
Just wanting to you know, play different characters. That's that's
really all it is, and expand my creativity and things
like that.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
You ever tried to help a person and then you
realize they are the reason they have problems?

Speaker 5 (58:06):
Noting them? How do you convey that?

Speaker 12 (58:11):
Well, it's funny, Charlotte made its hilarious.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
I want to say, you ever tried to help a
person and then I realize they are the reason.

Speaker 9 (58:20):
They have problems?

Speaker 5 (58:21):
Ain't nothing external? Yes, it's you.

Speaker 9 (58:23):
Yes, yes, I have been in that situation.

Speaker 12 (58:26):
And the thing is to be compassionate, you know, compassion
because a lot of times it's very easy to well,
let me put it this way, it's very hard for
all of us to look in the mirror and actually
hold and look at what we see because we don't

(58:46):
like to look at the parts of ourselves that we
want to change, that we're not happy with. And so
in those situations, it's like, Okay, before I just like
trying to call the person out or anything, I say, Okay,
let's just have compassion, you know, and like, hey, the
problem you're trying to solve, it may be because of
the perspective that you have. Okay, well, well why do
you have that perspective, Well, let's talk about it. Because
I think just creating an environment where there's no judgment

(59:08):
and there's acceptance and that there can be communication because
trying to unpack something, whether it's trauma or tragedy or
disappointments or things that you may have gone through years ago,
trying to unpack that takes time. And I think sometimes
we get so mad at people for not being where
we want them to be, and we're all on a
journey in this thing called life, and we're at different stages.

(59:30):
So I just try to approach it with compassion and
still clarity. You know, if someone comes to me for
help and they're asking my opinion, then I will give it.
I will say, hey, you know, I think the reason
why you know you may have been going through different
relationships is because you know, you keep bringing that mentality
to each relationship instead of being the love you want
to receive. You're looking for this person to provide you

(59:51):
with what you're not doing for yourself. So you know,
I'm still gonna be honest, but I'm gonna do it
hopefully in a compassionate and loving way so that then
that they can actually take it in. Because if I
come with the sledgehammer, you know, and I come with
why aren't you doing that? Then the help that I
could have provided them I missed the opportunity because I'm
trying to impose impose my process on them instead of

(01:00:14):
being compassionate, loving. Hey, here's some things you could look at.
And then everyone then has to make a committee of
one to make the decision. You know what, Okay, I'm
going to make some changes and I'm going to do
the work because I want the reflection of my life to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
Change, So be compassionate.

Speaker 22 (01:00:27):

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest
with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight back. She gets them
to somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything, and.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
She'd be having the latest on.

Speaker 9 (01:01:18):
The Latest with Lauren la Rossa.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.

Speaker 9 (01:01:24):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 22 (01:01:28):
Young Thug had a pretty busy weekend. There were you
waving at the screen, invioty. There there were a few
interviews with him that dropped. But also he did a
pop up performance outside of the courthouse that you got
to see the videos from outside of the court house.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
Did I did? That was definitely part of his parole, right.

Speaker 22 (01:01:44):
So you'll remember when he was released on conditions, he
said that he would do certain things in the community,
and they mentioned doing like a couple of pop up
shows that would give back or whatever. Some people thought
it was crazy that he went and performed outside of
the courthouse, but there was a message, so there was
a live stream. He performed several songs, but the message
was this is not where you want to end up.
This place changed my life. You don't want to end
up here unless you're on the other side of it.

(01:02:05):
So that's what that was about. To answer your question, Charlotmage, Yes,
and that was that the Lewis R. Slayton Slaton Courthouse,
which is where the Ysel trial went down. Now, Young
Thug also on this press run and the interviews I mentioned,
he sat down with the guys over at the Pivot
and he talked a lot about how his life has
changed since being released from prison, and one of the
things he talked about is dealing with depression or identifying

(01:02:28):
it now because he talked about his feelings more and
he says that he doesn't see a need for a therapist,
nor for his girlfriend to go to see a therapist either.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
Let's say a listen to that.

Speaker 24 (01:02:35):
You mentioned whether or not you didn't know if you
were depressed or not you ever considered therapy though I.

Speaker 9 (01:02:41):
Ain't never really considered it.

Speaker 25 (01:02:42):
I always felt like I had O gez like I
always that you already knew.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
I feel like a therapist is gonna do the same thing.

Speaker 9 (01:02:50):
I feel like we know better.

Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
We just got to do better.

Speaker 25 (01:02:53):
You know what you don't supposed to do, Like you
don't need me now, one of them all no therapists
to tell you, like if you tell your therapy. Man
going back and forth with my wife, Bro, I'm just
trying to what they gonna say, let her, let her
be heard, shut up, sometimes listen more than you talk.

Speaker 5 (01:03:06):
They gonna say the same.

Speaker 9 (01:03:07):
It's just like, man, that's another bill.

Speaker 25 (01:03:09):
Me personally, I feel like it's a weakness in that
because I feel like, listen.

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
To my girl, it's really a slapping face to me.

Speaker 25 (01:03:15):
You know what I'm saying. I was telling my girl that, like,
I don't think you need a therapist. I don't think
I need a therapist. I feel like I'm not a man.
If my girl get a therapist, damn, you actually will
call somebody and listen to what they got to say
over me instead of just listening to what I'm what
I'm telling because you don't.

Speaker 5 (01:03:29):
Know what the hell you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
But that's why you shouldn't not get until you try
it in regard to therapy, because it's not just about
you know, knowing better and doing better. It's about giving
you practices and techniques that help you deal with you know,
internal issues, your unhealed trauma.

Speaker 8 (01:03:43):
Yeah, but that mentality is a mentality for somebody like
you said that does not know, right, because I can
imagine myself saying that probably ten to fifteen years ago,
like now, we don't need to go to no therapy.
What they gonna say the same thing I'm gonna say.
They're just gonna say listen. But unless you know and
understand the techniques and tools you to actually help somebody,
he'd be he probably should try Firstly.

Speaker 4 (01:04:01):
When he said he's talking to this girl, he said,
he said, youre gonna listen to somebody else before you
listen to me.

Speaker 5 (01:04:04):
Yeah, because you just saw some my issues. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (01:04:07):
You had a lot of unheal trauma that you haven't
dealt with. So once you deal with your trauma.

Speaker 5 (01:04:11):
Then maybe I'll listen to you a little bit more.

Speaker 6 (01:04:13):
I was with him until he said that he don't
think that Mariah needs one. I mean, because you can't
really say nobody else needs Yeah, I mean I but
like I said, I was up. I was with him
up until he said that part, because he seems like
he knows right from wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
You know what you're not supposed to do. I mean
everything he said was right.

Speaker 22 (01:04:28):
He said too to your point, just that he's in
a new space. This is the first time that he's
even talked about his feelings, and he points back to
the interview with Big Bank. He hasn't, he said, he's
never had conversations about his feelings to even understand. People
have told him that he probably was depressed, but he's
never understood it. But I think that comes from too,
like the whole thing with Mariah scientists. I think a
lot of times men feel like what happens at home's

(01:04:51):
supposed to at home, and they're supposed to solve everything,
and you can as a person, you can't solve everything.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
But I just think it's a new space for him.

Speaker 22 (01:04:56):
He's learning. And of course, when this clip went out
and people saw it. There were a lot of people
reaching out to him, trying to have conversations. He also
did say too that doing these interviews with people he
respects has been a form of therapy for him. So
I think he'll slowly arrive to where people want him
to get to now.

Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
Maybe, but I will say this once again, it's not
about knowing right from wrong. It's about dealing with your
unhealed trauma. And if you don't deal with your trauma,
your trauma will ultimately deal with you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:05:19):
I mean, he will say the set downs that he's
been having though he's he's telling the truth, open it up.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
He's being vulnerable, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:05:28):
People were making fun of him and all of that,
But I do see somebody that's vulnerable and a lot
of people, well, he's saying a lot of things that
people wouldn't expect him to say, being real.

Speaker 8 (01:05:38):
About it, and these interviews. I see somebody that needs help. Yes,
that's what I see. No help something, somebody that needs help.
We just being depressed that he if he didn't have kids,
he wouldn't want to be here to say.

Speaker 22 (01:05:48):
He's been tweeting a lot of things that are a
bit disturbed too, talking about not wanting to be here yet,
and I think that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
It's a start now.

Speaker 22 (01:05:54):
He also did the interview with Big Loon over at
the It's Up There podcasts. The full interview is not
out yet, but there's a clip clip that dropped and
its you guys. Remember when Young Thub dropped the album cover.
He was white face, blue eyes, and I was like,
what does this mean? You w y Scottie right, So
he explained what the album cover means. He says, if
you go if you want to go big, you go white.

Speaker 26 (01:06:15):
Let's take a listen, let's talk about the uy school
the album cover. Explain to your fans and to the
people what message you was sending, if any, and what's
the thinking behind the album cover. I think it was
just like some funny but it's still like serious to
the point whereas like I went with it, you know
what I'm saying, But it really just some fun.

Speaker 25 (01:06:35):
You know, in oighborhood, we always joked and played. You know,
I got a lot of white friends, but we always
joked and played in my hood, like you want to
be the biggest, go white. And that's why I said
when I put the abm covat Hey, if you want
to be the biggest, go white.

Speaker 22 (01:06:47):
So over the you know, since the album has dropped,
you also posted photos of a lot of the features
on the album, White Face with Blue Eyes, Cardi B
my Riola's Scientists.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Look Yeah, wife, and Lucci as well. Uh.

Speaker 22 (01:07:04):
I thought this was Central c but it's twenty one Savage.
He looks like central Seed.

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
We saw that play before though. Donald Glover did that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
Remember when Donald Glover wrote that poem back in the
day called I think it might have been called big
and White, and he used to say, you know, if
you want it. I forgot what dond I'm paraphrasing, but
he was like, if you want to be big, you
gotta be white.

Speaker 5 (01:07:22):
He was like, Will Smith is white? Whit Remember when
he came up Birth Couple?

Speaker 4 (01:07:25):
You were all about that and I was like, why
do you relate everything that's great to whiteness?

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
So it's always it's a whole play.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
I've seen this play honestly, that needs to be studied.
But ya, it looks no different.

Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
Look cold. I just looked like he's freezing in New
York somewhere at Chicago.

Speaker 22 (01:07:46):
Yes, and I also to I don't have time to
play it. But I did watch Wife and Lucci's interview
over the weekend, and he talked about no, not that one,
there was another one.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
With a young lady.

Speaker 22 (01:07:58):
No, I'm gonna get his sorry, hold on, let me
tell you what he talked about while I got that.
So he talked about how because you know, people were
surprised to see him at the collaborating on music, and
he talked about how that came about, and he said
it was twenty one Savage that put them on the
phone and was like, yo, y'all need to have a conversation,
and then there a song came about.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
It was with us.

Speaker 22 (01:08:16):
He sat down for Serious XM and Pandora with Flaguy
DC in Atlanta, and I thought that that was dope
to hear that. Twenty one is you know, behind the
scenes we hear so much about and we heard the
phone call with twenty one Savage and young Thug and
him kind of like getting them straight a bit, So
you know, good to hear that that was the glue, like, hey,
y'all need to move forward.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
And then a song came about.

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
So every time I hear twenty one talk all I
say to myself, is twenty one of the smartest out
of everybody and the whole scene.

Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
To me, I'll say the wisest, the wisest.

Speaker 22 (01:08:43):
I think they all just know they got a lot.
They've talked a lot this weekend about they know they
got a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:08:47):
Tho listeners.

Speaker 22 (01:08:48):
Yeah, thug said that at the courthouse too, like it's
too much to lose for them to be out here beefits.
So they did their working together down to try to
help other people save their lives.

Speaker 8 (01:08:54):
And I think twenty one figured that out a long
time ago. Absolutely all right, Well that's the latest. Lauren
Charlamage who got a duncan qwo man for after the hour?

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
We need a dentist named doctor Harlen Grewell to come
to the front of the congregation.

Speaker 8 (01:09:08):
We like to have a word withever polease all right,
we'll get to that next. And don't forget, Michael Blackson
will be joining us comedians, so don't move.

Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
It's to breakfast club.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
Good morning, damn he hog it's donkey jay.

Speaker 9 (01:09:19):
I me ain't trying to be donkey today no more.

Speaker 5 (01:09:21):
They should be embassed by what they already did. I'm
not making these people do these days.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
Called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me
off guard.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
Damn Charlomagne, who got the donkey out of the day today?

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
Well, Jess hilarious donkey today for Monday, September twenty ninth
goes to a dentist and Sarah No Santa Clarita, California. Okay,
Santa Clarita, California. Her name is doctor Harlen Grewell. Now,
doctor Halen Grewell is an Abba Trump supporter, and I
have zero problem with that. I have zero problem with
Trump supporters. The problem I have with Trump supporters is

(01:09:55):
when they have problems with me.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:09:57):
See, we live in a country where it should be
possi for us to have disagreements. We should be able
to be in different political parties, being different religions, and
not want to hurt each other because of these differences.

Speaker 5 (01:10:08):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
I have a level of respect for every single human
on this planet, and that level of respect is based on.

Speaker 8 (01:10:13):
This simple principle called the Golden rule. Remember that we
learned it in elementary school. Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you. Simple concept that I
live by.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
Okay, treat people the way you would like to be treated.

Speaker 9 (01:10:25):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
I'm not going to do anything to a person I
wouldn't want done to meet. If we all live by
this simple concept, the world will be a better place.
But no, we live in the divide and States of
America where people believe that differences give them the license
to hurt those they don't agree with, and that's when
it goes too far. And doctor Halleen Gruell is one
of those individuals who believes because you share a different

(01:10:46):
political view than she does, she can cause you pain.
Let's go to ABC seven for the report, please.

Speaker 7 (01:10:51):
As Santa Clarita Denti is defending herself over a video
that's now gone viral. The clip shows her joking about
giving different care to patients who aren't Trump supporters.

Speaker 27 (01:11:01):
So I have a secret hat I use sometimes. It
says make your smile great again. So I wear that
when I work on my patients, so when they look
horrified or complain, I quietly cut back on the laughing.

Speaker 5 (01:11:15):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:11:16):
Doctor Harlane gray Wall's office posted the video two years ago.
Recently it began circulating on social media. Doctor Greywall said
the controversy is being driven by someone trying to quote
cancel her.

Speaker 27 (01:11:28):
They asked me if I had said that, and I
said yes, I said in one of my roasting speeches
at a women's Republican group, why can't we just take
a joke lightheartedly? But that was taken to cancel me,
and the dental Board did an investigation. They cleared it
out and said there was nothing they could find that
proved any of them.

Speaker 7 (01:11:47):
Some of doctor Greywall's patients emailed us saying they're changing dentists.
Doctor gray Wall says her patients are her family and
that this is all a politically motivated smear campaign.

Speaker 5 (01:11:58):
So it was a joke. Why didn't I laugh?

Speaker 4 (01:12:01):
I didn't, you know what I'm saying, Like listen, I
missed the days when we didn't talk about religion and politics.
But then there's a part of me that's glad we
talk about religion and politics because then you can choose
to support someone and not support them. But my thing
is those shouldn't be reasons not to support people, but
it absolutely is if that person is on BS, like

(01:12:23):
doctor Harlen gruell Is.

Speaker 5 (01:12:24):
But you have to ask yourself where does it end?

Speaker 4 (01:12:27):
Because the only thing that keeps our societies civilized is trust.

Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
We all have these circles of trust with each other
as humans. Okay, you trust the pilot to get you
to your destination safely when you're on a plane. You
trust the bus driver to get you to your destination
safely when you're on the bus. You trust the person
at Starbucks making your coffee not to poison you.

Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
Okay. You trust the person.

Speaker 8 (01:12:51):
Making your food at Shakeshack to not skeep and your
banana put in shake.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
Okay, it's all about trust. Okay, be mouthwatering. What happens
when we get no longer trust each other? Now, I
know you're saying yourself, what are you talking about, Uncle Charlotte.
Do you see the world we live in folks don't
trust each other? Now, that is not accurate. I know
there's a lot of bs in this country, and bad
things happen all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:13:14):
Okay, there are.

Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
People who actually absolutely violate this circle of trust that
we have in this country every day. But for the
most part, the bat average of trust is pretty good. Okay,
this thing could really go off the rails, and I
know it often feels like it is. But for the
most part, we stay on track.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
But for how long?

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
Okay, when you have a dentist like doctor harleean grew
Well not only exhibiting this kind of behavior, but proudly
letting you know this is what she does, even in
a joking manner, then I have to say we are
reaching a real tipping point because this is what I
don't understand, Doctor Harlleen grew grew Well. You love being
maga more than you love being a dentist, like you

(01:13:55):
spend all this time, countless hours in school, studying, having
your own practice, with all this working, just to lose
it because you want to discriminate against people based on
what political party they are in. Now, I'm not the
highest grade weed in the dispensary, but as far as
I know, you can't get your license taken away for
being prejudiced. You can't get your license to spend at
our revoke because you know saying that you cut back

(01:14:16):
on the lapping gas. If someone isn't maga, it's absolutely
professional misconduct. And I know that they did an investigation
and you know everything turned out fine for you, But
why would you even risk your whole livelihood over a
red hat? Okay, even if you don't lose your license.
You're losing customers, okay, because people just simply don't trust you.

Speaker 9 (01:14:38):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
Does MAGA have a support group for you when you
lose your job? Is there a pantry you can go
to to feed yourself when you lose your career over
a temporary moment in politics? You want to be a
MAGA influencer that back, Please give doctor Harley and Gruel
the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones.

Speaker 28 (01:14:54):
Oh no, you are the don gee, the dog gee
all the day.

Speaker 5 (01:15:07):
Yee, did I get it? She said that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
You know, somebody's just out there trying to cancel her
because the video is two years old.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
But and nothing funny about that. Those were your words, sir,
You know it's all your words, all right. Well, thank
you for that donkey Today.

Speaker 5 (01:17:03):
You get a lot of flag for that. What for
your opinion on Donald Trump?

Speaker 21 (01:17:07):
I mean I don't talk much about it online because
my fan base are like, you know, majority young black people,
and what what's what's my fan base? So I can
try to keep that, you know, gep some stuff to myself.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Well how are things at home? You just had another baby?

Speaker 21 (01:17:19):
Well, I mean I haven't had one eighteen years, so
suddenly you know a newyone comes out.

Speaker 5 (01:17:24):
Eighteen years eighteen, start eighteen.

Speaker 21 (01:17:26):
And going to college. Yeah, man, money with it? You
big money six years that when it came in. Wow,
you just got off support. Now you just got support. Man,
just just finally fleeing my last payment. A whole new
comes out. But you know there's the thing with child support.
You know, having kids when you're twenty five, twenty six
years old, you know you was struggling I think now

(01:17:49):
money is not an issue. So one, money's not an issue.
Nothing bothers you. I think the most important thing is money. Yeah,
and you know I don't have money problems anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
What listen, what made you want to start over?

Speaker 21 (01:18:00):
I mean I didn't want to start over. I mean
I just got lazy with my poor game.

Speaker 5 (01:18:05):
I didn't want to you know what.

Speaker 21 (01:18:07):
So the baby was, you know, the twins, it was
really bad experience, as you know, court parents. On the
mom we had a baliant, big we couldn't get along
with the court fighting. We fight from the day they
were born all the way to like eighteen years old.
It was really bad, you know what I mean. And
Rider didn't believe how bad it was till like the
last six years. I had to take over the Family Wizard.

(01:18:30):
So when you're in family court and you can't get
along with your stiffing your other, there's an app called
Family Wizard where you communicate on the app. Yeah, there's
a family app where you communicate where you don't have
to talk to this lady and then but the court
watches it. So like what's that for like baby mom's
and baby daddy. Yeah exactly, But I mean quarters over
now so I can say it now. But I had

(01:18:52):
I said, you know what, Rider, you don't believe you
think I'm the problem. I'm gonna have you act like
you're mad and you commune killed this lady. And she
found out what a typical what's what I'm looking for particular? No, yeah,
that's that one public school. You have to excuse me.
And she found out. She's like, damn, this one was
really nuts. So I had to communicate with her. For
the last five years. I didn't. I'm like, you know what,

(01:19:13):
I'm paying you to talk to this late I don't
want to talk to her. And now she realized that
I wasn't a problem. You know, I just had to
really crazy. You know, I don't want to talk much
about the being mom because after all, she did a
great job raising my boys. Yeah a students in college,
and I'm very proud of them, and.

Speaker 5 (01:19:29):
That's one good thing she did. But she did ruin the.

Speaker 21 (01:19:33):
Bond that I had with my boys, I mean, at
least the last five six years, because.

Speaker 5 (01:19:36):
Y'all were always together, I always together back.

Speaker 21 (01:19:38):
I mean, you got the point when she got remarried,
got married, and I remaded because I never I never
married her, thank god. When she got married and when
the relationship was over, she went back again on my
nervous again. That's why I please, It's always best to
like let the moe find something because it comes from
it down, you know what I mean, Like me a

(01:20:00):
rider will all again. I'll give her something and she
back to the loving and being normal again and it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
Is still your fiance. Are you going to marry her?

Speaker 5 (01:20:06):
She gave you know, you got engaged the pair.

Speaker 21 (01:20:12):
Once she said engagements expired. Now she need guess. But
I mean every time you look at somebody getting divorced
every day, I'm like, you know, I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:20:20):
Be part of this. Just keep yeah, just keep looking
for a new proposal commercial.

Speaker 22 (01:20:28):
We're still together because you know the back of forth
that you had online and kind of confused people because well, you'll,
you had to come out to when she posted it
like she's like she's alone, she walks alone and talks
alone sometimes. And then you reacted and you retracted what
you reacted with, and you talked about facetimon her from
the road.

Speaker 21 (01:20:42):
And that was what that was about. Something else and
I'm not ready to talk about yet. Yeah, you know,
I'm not gonna say she using postpartum as an excuse,
you know, because the way she made the same and me,
I don't. I try not to reach too much comments.
You know, I just knew when it came out, I
had people hit me. He know why she acting like
you know her Yeah, like you know so what I
mean reading comments or even reading her text message. I

(01:21:04):
went in the defense mode and like, you know, heym
like gonna talk about the hands that feeds you whatever,
and I kind of that's probably went a little hard.

Speaker 5 (01:21:12):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:21:12):
But we recently, I was bored the last couple of years,
and I, you know, I did this. I did the
TV show at top Very Studios, which is a four
episode poler and now we've been waiting for like one
won't do this again, because this show is probably the
most amazing thing that I've done.

Speaker 5 (01:21:26):
And I'm like, okay, he said, I won't do it again.

Speaker 21 (01:21:28):
We just waited. I said, well I'm waiting. I'm taking
something else. I took on Love and Hip Up Miami
and it's actually coming down November and.

Speaker 5 (01:21:35):
I'm like the new season, thank you.

Speaker 21 (01:21:38):
I completely took over the show like this pretty much
cut by the Michael Blackson Show.

Speaker 5 (01:21:43):
So I took onto this. I said, you know what,
now you're gonna become a.

Speaker 21 (01:21:48):
Reality star, a real reality star, and to make it
in reality people like.

Speaker 5 (01:21:52):
To know what you're going through, so you know.

Speaker 21 (01:21:54):
And my reply was more to like, you know what,
let me make a little bit more famous, let me
go online, just talk. And he reply back, let's go
back and forth, make up and that what you can make.
I said, you can make a whole lot of money
in reality. So after the fact, I told her, I said, listen,
it was I wasn't this gonna come up back place.
I'm more trying to like help you become reality famous.
That's why I was hoping we went back and forth.
You know, I didn't tell it let's go back and

(01:22:16):
forth on purpose. I was hoping we went back and forth.
But you know, my team, like Mike, you know, postpartum
is a very serious thing, So don't play with they
don't talk.

Speaker 5 (01:22:25):
I kind of like you can talk.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
About it, just have to. You know, you got to
be there for her.

Speaker 6 (01:22:29):
But do you think with her if she is, you know,
going through postpartum depression, is she okay with filming?

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
You think she's gonna be cool on the show.

Speaker 21 (01:22:41):
I mean, this show, it's a lot it's a lot
more more come on show. Yeah, we started already, we started.

Speaker 5 (01:22:48):
We started.

Speaker 21 (01:22:49):
It goes on through January and then and then they decide,
you know, on the next season. But it's a lot
more coming on this show. That probably had something to
do with the postpartum thing. I can I can't talk
about it.

Speaker 4 (01:23:02):
You mean, what did you mean when you said, if
you think making a baby with me will turn me
into Russell Wilson, you better try again, by the sucker.

Speaker 21 (01:23:09):
Well, you know, come with Russell real says, everyone's drink
and maybe instead she with her Stephan Dicks instead.

Speaker 3 (01:23:16):
Jesus that Cardi hopes he will be there for.

Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
Jesus.

Speaker 21 (01:23:21):
She picked the wrong football player. Well, I mean she
knew from the door. Well who Michael Black was?

Speaker 9 (01:23:34):
You know what I mean? You didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:23:37):
Michael Blacks.

Speaker 21 (01:23:39):
I mean, and then when I became honest with myself,
which was after I broke up with the girl before
a Rider, and I realized that I just can't be
with one person. And I've been honest from the door,
you know, And is it the African in you, like
you need to have more than one wife. I mean
my wife might be I mean, I'm not you know, uh,

(01:24:01):
I mean to have more than one wife. It's either
a religious thing or some type of a chief. There's
a lot to have that. I mean, I love to
have more than one wife. But that sounds like a
lot of problem.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
You know, you don't want to marry nobody, you just
have them there.

Speaker 21 (01:24:15):
I just I mean, I don't mind having a one
great woman that I know has my bag and that
she's the one. She's the one that has my bag
and does everything for me and do things right.

Speaker 5 (01:24:25):
But once in a while, you know, I like to
do okay with that? You got working gun? What do
you mean, ladies?

Speaker 6 (01:24:32):
I had I had somebody go now somebody just one person?

Speaker 21 (01:24:36):
Yeah, has somebody gun it. But you know she's a
little scamm look potential scamming. I'm not sure, Jesus suspect
I'm not you know, no, no, she.

Speaker 5 (01:24:52):
Just I don't want to get into details. Let me
ask you. I don't want you to take this wrong way.

Speaker 8 (01:24:56):
But everything going on with Diddy, you just say, you
know what, I don't want to have these multiple relationships outside.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
Of my relationship. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (01:25:05):
It's like because you with all these women, and now
it takes women to.

Speaker 5 (01:25:09):
Be like for two three and the whole lot. That's
a whole lot. Two three is a lot.

Speaker 21 (01:25:12):
You know that the same people you want them to
be like, Oh no, I keep my circle clothes. I
try to keep my circle clothes and intimate that way,
you know, And I'm very I treat every woman with respect.
I think that's the most important thing. You cheat them
with respect, and always have receipts. You always have receipt
And I have a nephew that plays in the NFL,
and I got a lot of young guys that plays
in the NBA, and I tell my to listen. You

(01:25:33):
guys have to be careful. You have you need receive
for everything you do. If a girl comes and visit
you, you know, you walk that girl to the elevator, You
give a hug. Cameras always watching and when she gets them,
text heit make sure you got home sack. Always keep
a receipting. You know, never leave wroong for anybody to
accuse you of anything. You know how your rapis is
gonna hug you at the elevator. You know what I'm saying.
So besides, I treat everyone, every every person that I'm with,

(01:25:58):
I treat them well and respectful and you know, crazy women.

Speaker 5 (01:26:06):
Right, be honest, be honest and treat them Mike.

Speaker 6 (01:26:09):
But see, that was the thing that Ryder had a
problem with because she's like, Yo, why are you so
nice to the girls that I know you got your
two and three? But she's like, yes, that's where it
feels like a relationship because you're keeping contact, keeping in
contact with these girls after you're saying you're only saying
a few times out the year, taking care of me,
take care of them, like you're taking them to breakfast.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
That's what she was beating to about. But you don't
need to eat, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:26:35):
That was one issue we had with a most hated site,
Chick of Mind.

Speaker 21 (01:26:40):
It was in Vegas and we I was playing at
this particular parto and they offered me like dinner and
like stk or whatever, and I'm like, okay, I took
her to go eat.

Speaker 3 (01:26:52):
It's a nice ass restaurant.

Speaker 21 (01:26:53):
And then you know, the manager of the manager of
the club happened to be good friends rider and then
this like you know, doing some guy coach texting RD ahead,
Mike is here with another another.

Speaker 5 (01:27:09):
You know, girl, you're looking out for her? What I did?
You know, Sugar.

Speaker 21 (01:27:14):
Even when I'm in public, I don't like being parpaing
with another woman about alone because I hate somebody to
pictures and get along. So I always make sure I
invite two or three, whether it's the homies or girls.
Make sure it's more than just me and this person.
So one of my homies I invited. Whet my homies
gonna have dinner? I say, I'm gad come damn, don't
know me. Let's k rach come on right, So it's
even me and him and her, you know. But he

like his little Middle East texting her here with another woman.
So we're sitting there. They might try to sneak video
just sent to her and then the girl caught on
to it like cursing and mount in the restaurant, you know,
and the bigger scene and became a much bigger scene.

Speaker 5 (01:27:52):
Is a big deal though.

Speaker 4 (01:27:53):
Man, they got the bag of doughnuts and the troubtfle
fries and the freaking waggules.

Speaker 30 (01:37:12):
This year was about.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
Helping people move?

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
How about the ones around me? Just locking in a
lot of hay after hey after hey. I could have
quit at any time, I could have stopped. I coulda
took a break, but saying someone to keep going. If
I didn't have Jesus in my life, then none of
this would be possible.

Speaker 9 (01:37:28):
Let's go.

Speaker 5 (01:37:29):
Christ is all right, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Godggas, Yes, not him.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
Your lebron Raymond James could come to the house and
cut off my locks.

Speaker 19 (01:37:44):
Bro.

Speaker 12 (01:37:44):
So I sit up.

Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
I say all that to say this, do not kill
what anybody think. Remain being you, remain being humble, and
move forward.

Speaker 4 (01:37:52):
Bro. That's it dropping the clues bombs for cor Eli
on the stream.

Speaker 5 (01:37:57):
People on the chat saying it's six ninety nine seven nine,
what is it?

Speaker 7 (01:38:00):
Kai?

Speaker 9 (01:38:01):
Oh?

Speaker 30 (01:38:01):
Yeah, it works is you get there's certain brackets for
gifted subs, so you could give like five subs, fifty
plus subs, two hundred subs. Shout out to snoop Dog.
He was gifting that for the one hundred for the
one million. So Kai just made history. Is the first
Twitch streamer to reach.

Speaker 5 (01:38:19):
How many people are paying with the subscribe.

Speaker 8 (01:38:21):
So if he has a million subscribers plus how many
people actually pay monthly?

Speaker 30 (01:38:25):
Well, the way gifted subs works is let's say I
do five plus gifted. That means that the gifted subs
are they're just spread randomly for people to subscribe. So
it's it was like thirty dollars I think for five
gifted and for two hundred. It's like, so the million subscribers,
people don't pay like a monthly. Feet don't they pay
a monthly?

Speaker 11 (01:38:43):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:38:43):
Yeah, you could.

Speaker 30 (01:38:44):
You could do like through Amazon Prime. You could do that,
or you can pay like I think it's like eight
dollars or fifteen dollars per month. But gifted subs is different.
But they both go into the bracket of subs.

Speaker 5 (01:38:57):
They confused.

Speaker 8 (01:39:00):
Saying on the stream that why you ain't let people
know that we were actually live on the stream. Ain't
sending a notification?

Speaker 5 (01:39:04):
It does if they're subscribing the sub or if they
follow us on Twitter. Somebody he don't know what he's
talking about either about nothing. I don't know what he's
talking about. Nervous because man after chat man chat notifications.

(01:39:26):
I don't know either.

Speaker 29 (01:39:28):
Somebody Eli made that sound so complicated, Sure did he
just well you must say cat, you just think about Drake.
They know, well, all right, well you gotta right now,
somebody to fire him now, damn, damn.

Speaker 5 (01:39:42):
Somebody say it's all paid subs. I know it's not
because nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
If you are different, I'm subscribed to car and I
didn't pay.

Speaker 30 (01:39:50):
For nothing, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:39:52):
Or you could buy gifted subs.

Speaker 30 (01:39:53):
It's not if you buy gifted subs, that's not you
subscribing that you giving away on there spending money.

Speaker 22 (01:39:58):
Because he kept saying it, and he was shouting our
a j two for all of his help and his
push push, and.

Speaker 30 (01:40:02):
It's like a whole hype train going down, which is
basically a whole bunch of people in the chat who
are watching live they buy the gifted subs, which adds
to the pot of.

Speaker 5 (01:40:10):
It said, the subs make you watch the screen without adds.

Speaker 4 (01:40:13):
Somebody else in the chat said, if you get a
gifted subs, if you get a gifted sub then it's
free for a month and you can pay the next
month if you want to continue.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
I got a long we got a long way till million,
but we here.

Speaker 5 (01:40:24):
Making this money, shout out the guy. Sound like my
mama the first time she did FaceTime? Baby, how do
you do this FaceTime? Keep looking at my hand like
that's what we sound like? All right, Well that is
the latest. That's why you don't got no screams? Now,

Man.

Speaker 4 (01:44:10):
A positive note comes from one of my favorite pages
on Instagram, the Healing God Man. The Healing God said,
and they posted this nine hours ago. Allow people to
have their moods and allow their moods that have.

Speaker 5 (01:44:21):
Nothing to do with you.

Speaker 4 (01:44:23):
Okay, not every shift in someone's mood is about you,
even if it feels that way. People carry their own struggles,
their own scratches and emotions that spill over at times.
When you stop taking everything personally, you give other space
to feel what they need to feel while protecting your
own peace.

Speaker 5 (01:44:38):
Have a great day. Breakfast club bitch is you don't
finish for y'all done

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
