Speaker 8 (03:27):
Me, Good morning, Jess, MV. Charlamagne. How y'all doing? Because
Jess is the only one out in here cutting up?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Say good morning girl?

Speaker 9 (03:36):
All right.

Speaker 10 (03:37):
So we started this morning in Washington, where the House
is back in session for the first time since September,
and they are set to vote today on a bill
that would reopen the government. Now, lawmakers will be voting
on that same funding bill package that the Senate pass
on Monday night, which would keep the government running through
January thirtieth. It also includes what is called a mini bus,

(03:57):
three major spending bills that would fund everything for road
and bridges to school mill programs, and that bill also
fully funds a snap program through next September. Now, the
House is expected to meet today at noon Eastern Standard Time,
with the first order of business swearing in the Arizona
Democrat at.

Speaker 8 (04:15):
Elite to Gribalda.

Speaker 10 (04:16):
After that, members will turn their attention on debating and
voting on that funding bill.

Speaker 8 (04:21):
But already there is a clear split.

Speaker 10 (04:23):
House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries says Democrats they are united
in voting against the measure because it lacks those subsidies
for the Affordable Care Act. Let's listen to what he
had to say.

Speaker 11 (04:34):
Listen, it's unfortunate that you had eight or so Democrats,
seven Democrats who made the decision to vote in a
different way than the overwhelming majority of the Senate Democratic caucus.
And what you'll see from the overwhelming majority of House
Democrats when the bill comes over to us. But they're
going to have to explain themselves. This fight continues, and

(04:55):
over the last several weeks, we have successfully elevated this
healthcare issue such that the American people are demanding action.

Speaker 12 (05:04):
And now it's.

Speaker 11 (05:05):
Going to be on Mike Johnson and House Republicans to
demonstrate are they willing to actually do something for someone
other than the wealthy, the well off, and the wealth.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
No, they're not, And.

Speaker 11 (05:15):
There's an opportunity to do it by making sure that
the Affordable Care Act tax credits are extended. Every single
Democrat stands behind that proposition in the House.

Speaker 12 (05:23):
Let's see what the Republicans decide to do.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know what they gonna decide to do.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
The fact that people keep backing like Republicans give a
damn about the poor and working classes in sandity to me,
But it's good to keep pointing out that they don't.

Speaker 10 (05:35):
Yep, yeah, well, it is definitely good to keep pointing
it out. That means that Speaker Mike Johnson, he has
a razor thin margin to get this done today. So
once Gribalda is sworn in, the breakdown will be two
hundred and nineteen Republicans to two hundred and fourteen Democrats,
meaning he can only afford to lose about two GOP
votes if he wants to pass the bill without Democratic help. Now,

(05:56):
if that bill, if that bill clears the House today,
will go straight to the President's desk for his signature
officially ending the shutdown, restoring pay benefits and key services nationwide.
So we'll see what happens with that. But while that
is happening, there's another something brewing on the other side.
For the Senate, they are kind of trying to figure

(06:18):
out more about the Affordable Care Act because Republicans say
that they are opened to extending part of that ACA
funding that's set to expire at the end of the year.

Speaker 8 (06:26):
But there is a catch.

Speaker 10 (06:27):
Now they want tougher abortion restrictions on insurance plan in
exchange for their votes. So Republicans say that they will
not agree to an extension unless the new.

Speaker 8 (06:38):
Bill includes stronger language tied to the High Amendment.

Speaker 10 (06:41):
The High Amendment, it's what bans federal money being used
for abortion, and Democrats say that that protection already exists,
but Republicans, led by Senator John Thune, he insists that
without those new limits on abortion. There will not be
enough GOP votes to extend the Affordable Care Act funding
at all.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I don't believe anything Republicans say in need issues. You
Republicans have zero reasons to make any concessions. They got
everything they want in that big, deadly bill, so what
reason do they have to play ball?

Speaker 10 (07:12):
Yeah, well, we will continue to watch that and while
lawmakers argue over how to reopen the government, millions of
Americans are still waiting on something more basic, just food money.
So the Supreme Court has once again hit paused yesterday
on whether the Trump administration has to send out those
full Snap benefits during the shutdown. That means about forty
two million people who rely on food stamps are still

(07:33):
waiting to find out if they will fully get their
November benefits. That the court's order issued late last night
or late Tuesday evening keeps everything frozen until Thursday night.

Speaker 8 (07:44):
So it's not a final decision.

Speaker 10 (07:45):
It's just a temporary hold that gives Congress time to act.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
Now.

Speaker 10 (07:49):
If lawmakers pass the funding bill and reopen the government
before then, and those Snap benefits would automatically be restored,
ending that standoff. During that dissent, Justice could Brown Jackson.
She was the only member of the Supreme Court to
publicly disagree, saying that the payments should go out immediately.
So for now, the freeze stays in place. Millions of families, though,

(08:10):
are still wondering if their grocery money will show up
this week.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
So listen, once again, I want everybody who you know
wants Democrats to hold the line. Make sure you're donating
your local food banks. Okay, make sure you're donating to
these community organizations that are providing food for people in
these communities. All right, Just don't be getting on social
media and your Instagram and making your videos talk about
how Democrats are hold the line of Democrats case, don't
do all of that if you're not donating to your

(08:36):
local food banks and local community organizations that are providing
food for people during this season.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's right, all right, thank you, Mimi.

Speaker 8 (08:43):
All right?

Speaker 10 (08:43):
Really quickly coming up at seven, Americans said that they
are being price of the American Dream, a new idea
that could help, but experts are warning it may not
be as simple as it sounds.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
We'll talk about it in the next hour, and.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Everybody else, get it off your chest.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Eight hundred five eight five one oh five to one.

This is Brianna.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Hey, Brianna, good morning. Get it off your chest, Charlotte.

Speaker 14 (09:22):
I'm calling in today because I am a feral essential worker.

Speaker 7 (09:26):
Ed.

Speaker 14 (09:26):
I just hold Charlomaze read about roll tump war Martin,
and he really.

Speaker 15 (09:32):
Combined it because at the end of the day, our
lives and our livelihoods.

Speaker 14 (09:35):
Have been sacrificed for other Americans, and we're not getting
to talk.

Speaker 15 (09:38):
Nobody's seeking up for us. We're just at that to
us for the last forty one days is wrong. We
are our livelians will use at political times. We have
incompetent leaders with both parties. Schumer ed Jeffries both me
to step down forrendis for rendis incompetent to sacrifice for
the strategy that they have came up with is let's
hold this group of Americans hostage while we try to

(10:01):
help this group of Americans.

Speaker 14 (10:03):
How as the mine is that like.

Speaker 15 (10:05):
These are the leaders, these are politicians, these are government leaders,
these are the people that we're supposed to entrust to
fight for us.

Speaker 14 (10:12):
Absolutely not. Yeah, I mean, and Roland Martin can bite it.
I'm sticking him and you ate him up selling a
thanks rightfully.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
So I'm sorry you're going through it first and foremost.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
And that's what I'm saying. I hate these conversations so much.
But nobody ever talks about the federal workers. Nobody talks
about the fact y'all even paid in forty plus days,
as if sixty seven percent of the country ain't living
paycheck to paycheck. Is if y'all landlord don't want hit
day money and electric companies don't want they money, and y'all.

Speaker 15 (10:36):
Do you know what it's like to come to work
and see people getting evicted, people crying about not being
able to feed their kids, and their kids off to
live with relatives because we don't know where our lives
san People.

Speaker 14 (10:45):
Haven't invented their careers their lives.

Speaker 15 (10:47):
Into these positions.

Speaker 14 (10:49):
They take care of full families, and for them to
sacrifice them for forty something days, it's ridiculous. This is
our peak season. So we've been in here burking out
over time for zero dollars and then just to watch
them and watch all these politicians not even speak up
about us. It's like, oh, we know, people aren't getting
paid anyways.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Looks like a bes to that.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, I'm telling you, That's what I said during donkeys.
It's like they talk about it like it's just it's
so nonchalantly.

Speaker 14 (11:13):
We understand people, We're so insignificant.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
I get it, and I'm sorry getting I'm sorry you
got to go through it.

Speaker 16 (11:20):
Yeah, no problem.

Speaker 15 (11:21):
I'm happy to.

Speaker 14 (11:21):
Still stay here protect my solo Americans and my country.
At the end of the day, it's not our fault.
We as the people have to sit together. So all
my other essential federal workers out there, are all my
furlough schedule workers out there, says say stuff. Only we
know what we have been through for these last forty
one days. So we are the only ones that have
been affected by it outside of the others, you know,
staff recipients or whatnot. But I just want to send

(11:41):
out some love and positivity to everybody that has made
it through the shut down. Since we are nearing the end,
Just love and blessings to everybody. Thanks for letting me
get it, get this off my chest.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Guys, thank you slew.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
All the federal workers out there getting lost in the conversation. Man,
we we we salute you.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
You know the crazy thing I was.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
I was driving in and there was a old ya
who's supposed to get deployed, and he couldn't get deployed
because the people that do the clerical work were off work.
So he was supposed to be home for things him
at Christmas. But now since we're not going back, he
doesn't have another appointment in January fifth, so because the
government shut down, he won't be coming home until after Christmas.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Is Come on, man, you don't know if that's gonna
be his God forbid. I hope he gets many a
million more Christmases. But what if you don't you understand
what I'm saying? Like people are crazy, Like I don't
know why nobody's thinking about the federal workers.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Man, it makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Man, imagine watching a federal worker who ain't never been
on a snap of nothing have to come through the
food bank to get groceries because they can't afford to
give me. That's the type of stuff I'm seeing, So
that's why my mindset is the way that it is.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Well, get it off your chest eight hundred five eight
five one oh five one. If you need the vent,
hit us up now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning,

Good morning, the breakfast club.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
She gets them somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 9 (19:08):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything,
and she'd.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Be having the latest on.

Speaker 12 (19:14):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.

Speaker 12 (19:20):
It's the latest on the breakfast Clubs.

Speaker 9 (19:23):
I cool bank up morning.

Speaker 19 (19:26):
Hey, Yes, all right, so Wendy Williams. All right, if
I'm being honest, fore like, we started a blender for
Wendy Williams and a conversation that we had here with
the very first conversation we started. And I'm going to
explain why after I tell you what just happened. So
yesterday there was a report that broke TMZ did an
exclusive that Wendy Williams underwent a ton of additional testing

(19:46):
in New York to figure out whether she has the
frontal temporal dementia or not.

Speaker 10 (19:51):
Uh.

Speaker 19 (19:52):
The story said that she did the testing with a
different a bunch of different neurologists who were top neurologists.
It didn't mention like from what hospital or any like that.
And you guys remember some months back there was a
story that leaked that Joe Takapino, who was Wendy's one
of Windy's attorneys, told me they were really pissed about
because the legal records or the medical records should not
have leaked that said she did have dementia. So there's

(20:15):
down these two big medical reports from very you know,
top neurologists that are saying two very different things. So
in the story yesterday, Joe Tacopina says that what they
plan to do is submit these testing results to a
judge and to the court of course, try to get
Wendy out of this conservatorship. And if the judge does
not just go along with the you know, the new

(20:36):
testing that they have, he's going to request a trial
by jury, which is what he's been saying for some
time as well too.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
What happened with Wendy, y'all was bff.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
You spoke to her every week and then all of
a sudden everything just stopped.

Speaker 19 (20:45):
I have no I mean you can't. I can't pick
up the phone and call her. But the person that
I was talking to that was working with her is
no longer working with her. I do reach out to yeah,
you know, the shout out to her. I do reach
out to Joe Tacopina, but you know, I get responses
when I can. I can't really answer that question. But
we did have a direct line and that has slowed down.
But it's okay. Because I always find my way in and.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
She's still laughing about. Is she still coming out.

Speaker 19 (21:07):
Wendy's Yep, she's still out about. Actually I just saw
a photo of her. She was at Joe Tacopina's son's wedding.
But yeah, Wendy's been out on about. He's definitely been
outside and she's been looking good too. Yeah, so since
fashion week though, well, the photo that I saw for
the Joe Takapina son's wedding was in the story that
we're talking about right now, but other than that, it

(21:28):
was Fashion Week and Lawan Smith and New Yorker and
all that stuff. But she's moving around to my point.
So listen, here's the questions that I got some answers to.
So when you when you go to a judge and
you're like, we have these two very different test results
from two very good like doctor sources. Right, And I've
confirmed for a fact that when Wendy took that first

(21:49):
round of testing that was requested by the conservatorship, Wendy's
team had to okay those doctors. They had to say, yes,
we believe these doctors are legit. They come from a high,
very well known hospital, all the things that test came
out that she does have the dementia. Now, Joe Takapina
had told me that they were going to do independent
testing outside of that.

Speaker 9 (22:07):
That is what this is.

Speaker 19 (22:08):
There have been reports that the doctors, originally the original doctors,
walk back their reports and change their mind.

Speaker 9 (22:13):
That is not what happened. These are separate doctors.

Speaker 19 (22:16):
What's going to happen is they're going to get into
court and from what I'm told, it's going to basically
be a battle of the doctors, which will put Wendy
in a really bad place, because even if a judge says,
and I'm told that it's probably very it's probably not
going to happen that a judge does not see any
brain damage whatsoever. But even if a judge does say
she doesn't have the dementia, there are things that will
be shown in any testing from either doctor Sogni.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yes, what's the word cognitive impairments?

Speaker 9 (22:42):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (22:43):
And so what I've what I'm yeah, So what I
was told by a person you know, who's who's worked
on this for some time and has been very close
in the situation, is that right now this puts Wendy
in a position where even if they walk back things
and allow things to open up a bit for her,
She's still going to have to live a life that
she has been very vocal about she does not want
to live. She doesn't want to have an aid with

(23:04):
her all the time. She doesn't want to have people.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Start up to her though, because if she is having
problems and brain declining, her mentalist declining, she's gonna need.

Speaker 9 (23:12):
Somebody one hundred percent.

Speaker 19 (23:13):
But I'm just saying, I think when you open up,
you know, the floodgates things will come. And I'm very
interested in that. This is why I reached out to
Joe Techopina to understand legally what their strategy is, because
at this point you kind of just are like you're
adding more fuel to the fire because in all these findings,
you're going to see things that maybe you wouldn't even
want to have a conversation about because you want to
keep the main thing to make.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
That well, maybe she'll be let out a little more.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
It won't be as I guess she's stuck in this
quote unquote you know how in jail, as she says,
you know, I mean, so maybe she'd be able to
go out with some family.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Maybe should have different aids.

Speaker 9 (23:43):
But hopefully it depends on what the judge decides go ahead.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Just and then when she'd be outside right like, because
like Shara said, we haven't really really seen her out
a lot since New York Fashion Week, but I think
it was it was a video when she'd be like
outside in New York and she'd be on her scooter
or whatever. Are the people schooling.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Up around.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
And people doing the fit?

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Cheg one of the influences that walk down on us
and asked, you know, did a fit chat with her?
And then she was shopping? Like are they when when
we see her like that, are they with her?

Speaker 20 (24:19):
Or?

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Is I mean, are you giving me.

Speaker 9 (24:21):
A girls thing set up?

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (24:23):
Like early I can did.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
She just say yo, I want to go out today
and then they just take her out?

Speaker 19 (24:27):
I can't answer that question. And definitely, but most of
the time I know you, yes, you do let people
know where you're going to be. But I did ask
that too, Like she's been moving around a lot right now,
and I know she doesn't want people up under her
and all in her business, so she wants to make
her own decisions. But who is her person right now
making sure she's straight? Because She's talked about having addiction issues, right,
and that's what calls a lot are added to a
lot of the issues she's having. And they're saying that

(24:48):
she has various security guards that have been like the people.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
But I would like to I would like to salute
Geena Lisa drop on the clues.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Bond for Lisa and Lisa is the reason that Wendy
got all emotions she got now to begin with, personally,
I believe she was in better hands when she was
with Gena Lisa. You know, Joe Tacopino is a great lawyer,
but you need more than a great attorney. You need
someone who knows that guardianship situation inside and out. That's
Gena Lisa's world. So any of the freedom that Wendy

(25:15):
has now, it's because of Gena Lisa's, because of the
work that Gena Lisa did prior. That's why when you
saw things slow down on Wendy's cases seemed like and
you know, it seemed like she went back to ground zero,
it was because Gena Lisa was no longer whatever.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's a Gena Lisa conversation.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
Yeah that's not I think, yeah, not nothing.

Speaker 19 (25:33):
I can I can speak to, but I will say
that things have been a bit different since everything that
Charlamage has said. But you know, I wish Wendy the
best and I'm gonna, of course try and stay in
as much as I can. But I when I saw
this report, I was like, man, this is gonna be
a battle of like what does she happen?

Speaker 16 (25:49):
What does she not?

Speaker 19 (25:50):
And hopefully it ends up where she can get things,
you know, just softer in the lifestyle that she's living.
But we don't even know everything that the test results say,
so I have to like cross your fingers here.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
And lastly, I just always wonder when things like this,
is finances right, because you gotta pay for where you're staying,
you gotta pay for attorneys, you have to pay for
all these tests. Yes, how long do the finance last?
Because I don't know her finances, but it's money still
coming in.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
You know, is she getting.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Royalties from the shoals of the show's still airing? Like
how are they're taking care of the finances?

Speaker 12 (26:20):
Right?

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Because she's paying her conservativeship right, that comes.

Speaker 9 (26:24):
Out of her check, right, That is what Wendy Williams said.

Speaker 19 (26:27):
Now I will say I can't answer that fully, but
I did check in on that A and E lawsuit
because remember that was happening in there was a toss
up there about that and.

Speaker 9 (26:34):
How things were going money.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Did she profit off that?

Speaker 9 (26:38):
Right now?

Speaker 19 (26:38):
Inside of stay still there, No one's profiting off for anything.
And they say they didn't even know of these this testing.
But it's because it's independent. So we'll rotch now I'm
doing it.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I see the I see the up just out of question.

Speaker 9 (26:49):
I'm gonna answer it. Y'all get out of my face,
Charlotte Magde.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Now when we come back, we got front page news,
so don't move. It's the breakfast club in the morning
one to everybody is j and Jess hilarious. Charlamage, guy,
we ought to breakfast club. Let's get back in some
front page news.

Speaker 12 (27:04):
What that mean?

Speaker 8 (27:05):
Good morning, envy, Jeff Charlamage, how y'all doing this morning?
Good morning?

Speaker 16 (27:10):
All right?

Speaker 8 (27:10):
So we start this hour with the latest on air travel.

Speaker 10 (27:13):
And so while the shutdown may be near an end,
the travel headaches, they are not over just yet. Transportation
Department says it plans to begin easing flight limits at
dozens of major airports only once safety improves and more
air traffic controllers are back on the job, and during
the shutdown, many controllers who've been working with out pay
called out, causing delays and cancelations that have frustrated travelers

(27:35):
across the country. A Transportation Secretary Sean Deffy, though he
does say things are starting to look better.

Speaker 21 (27:42):
Let's listen, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, very rough travel days, significant
cancelations and significant delays. However, today has been a much
better day. A lot more air traffic controllers are coming in.
So just for comparison, on Saturday, we had eighty one

(28:02):
staffing triggers.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Today we have four.

Speaker 12 (28:06):
So I think our air.

Speaker 21 (28:06):
Traffic controllers are seeing an end to the shutdown and
feel more hopeful, and they're coming in to their facilities.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
So we're grateful to them for all that they're doing.

Speaker 10 (28:17):
So, he went on to say about twenty four to
forty eight hours after the shutdown ends, air traffic controllers
can expect to be paid seventy percent of their pay,
and they would receive about thirty percent of their pay
within a week after the shutdown being over. The FAA
says flight cuts, though they will remain in place until
data shows that the system is stable again, and according

(28:38):
to the numbers, the shutdown is costing the US economy
about fourteen billion dollars a week, largely because of how
much we rely on air travel to keep people as
well as goods moving. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett he told
Morning Joe that airline executives have already been reached Oh,
they were already reaching out to him before a deal
was announced, worried about what the shutdown was doing to

(28:59):
their bottom line.

Speaker 8 (29:00):
Let's listen to that.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
How reliant is our economy on air travel, on on on,
on the airwaves being open and us being able to.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Move freight and move people across the United States.

Speaker 22 (29:13):
Well, it's a it's a core tenet of that, along
with trucking and shipping. But in terms of business travel,
I received several texts from airline executives over the weekend
before we got news that the shutdown might be ending,
saying that they were quite worried for their businesses.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
It's always corporate interests over the interest of the people.
If these are if these airlines weren't being impacted, the
shutting down probab would still be going on.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
Yeah, I'll tell you that, right now and to say
he got a text, which means that they were worried
about what, you know, how much longer was this going
to go on and what that was going to mean
for them and their bottom line.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
So profits over people, for sure.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
So for now, travelers can still expect some delays and cancer,
but airlines say that those delays are temporary and once
the shutdown officially ends, flight schedules could start to get
back to normal within days. So now to housing and
a plan that has a lot of people talking. So,
would you sign up for a fifty year mortgage just
to afford a house? That's the idea that the Trump

(30:17):
administration is now floating alone that would stretch payments over
five decades in effort to make home ownership more affordable.

Speaker 8 (30:25):
But experts say, not so fast. They say, sure, your
monthly payment might go down.

Speaker 10 (30:29):
A few hundred dollars, but over time, you'd end up
paying nearly twice as much an interest compared to a
traditional thirty day a thirty year loan, And because most
of those payments will go toward interests, it would take
nearly decades to actually build any equity, meaning that you'd
own very little of your home for a very long time,
so analysts warn this kind of mortgage could do more

(30:51):
for the banks than it would for buyers. So letting
lenders collect interests for about twenty extra years while families
stay in debt longer. It would all push home prices
even higher since more buyers would be competing for the
same limited number of homes.

Speaker 8 (31:06):
And the move comes as President Trump.

Speaker 10 (31:08):
Continues to face criticism over housing costs, even after campaigning
on a promise to make everything more affordable for Americans.
He was asked about the issue of affordability yesterday in
the Oval Office.

Speaker 8 (31:20):
Let's hear what he had to say.

Speaker 7 (31:21):
The fake news yesterday they talked about that. They said, Oh,
I don't want to talk about affordability. The reason I
don't want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows
that it's far less expensive under Trump than it was
under Sleepy Joie biders User and the prices that we're dad, Caroline,
could you discuss that question that was asked and how

(31:42):
it was asked in such a fake, disgusting manner by
the fake news.

Speaker 20 (31:47):
Affordability is what the American people elected this president to do,
and he is doing it, and you guys refuse to
cover it, and you refuse to cover that the previous
administration created the worst on affordability.

Speaker 9 (31:59):
Crisis American history.

Speaker 20 (32:00):
And I've been watching the TV all day saying that
he doesn't want to talk about affordability.

Speaker 16 (32:05):
That's what he's working on every day.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
And that's what Donald Trump and his administration have no
idea that people are broken. Like like when he's talking
about people, he's talking about people in his immediate circle
that be at them dinners and stuff that they be having.
He has no idea about what's going on with the
working class and poor people in this country. Look, the
fifty year mortgage is two sides to it, right, Yes,
somebody could afford a house that they probably couldn't afford

(32:26):
because the lower is the price of the actual mortgage.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
But people say, you're paying more interest, which is true.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
But a lot of people are not going to have
money to invest because people like, oh, you could take
that money and invest. A lot of people don't have
that money to invest and just want to buy a
home but can't afford it because the prices of homes
are so high.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
You look at areas where whether it's.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
California or New York or Atlanta where people have to
live damn there an hour away, or they got to
live in a place that they can't because they can't
afford it. So I see both sides of it, you
know what I mean, because people at the end of
the day, people want to actually own something and not
be stuck you know, in a rental law or in
the projects.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
You know, I see both sides of it. Interesting conversation, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (33:03):
For sure, they said.

Speaker 10 (33:05):
Meanwhile, the house of home prices keep rising to your point,
and being the typical household now spends about forty percent
of their income on mortgage payments as well, above what
financial experts consider affordable, and searches on Google for help
with mortgage have hit their highest level since two thousand
and nine.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
The adjustable rate mortgage.

Speaker 10 (33:22):
They are back on the rise, and they said that's
a sign that many Americans are just stretching what they
can to stay in the market.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I mean, I do want to know more.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
About it, though, because I was reading something that they
created the thirty year mortgage for the same exact reason
they're talking about doing the fifty year mortgage. They want
to make a home ownership more accessible to people. So
I just, I mean, I just, I just want more
information on it.

Speaker 10 (33:43):
Yeah, but I think because it's coming from Donald Trump,
and he has shown a lot of interest in you know,
putting more money with the banks, the fifty year loan
is going to keep interest rates going, you know, for
a very long time before you ever hit that principle.
And so a lot of people are just pointing that
out and that could you know, definitely keep people in
debt longer than it would But but to your point

(34:03):
and be a lot of people just want to buy
a home right now.

Speaker 8 (34:05):

Speaker 9 (35:44):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 19 (35:45):
What did you have in you could have did eggs,
bacon pancakes. I do little fried apples, you know, apple
my grandmother does. Yep, that's from my grandma from Virginia.

Speaker 16 (35:54):
Okay, so yeah that makes sense. So like you just
like take the apples, slice them up, cut them and
put them in a pan with like.

Speaker 9 (35:59):
Some utter or something in the cinnamon, little brown sugar.

Speaker 16 (36:03):
Yeah, oh, I definitely could have.

Speaker 9 (36:05):
That's her favorite meal. That's easy breakfast.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
You know, because you know, since since your name been
on this the list that you were coming up here,
Charlemagne has been salivating, right or like just come to
just stroll down the mouth.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
So let's let'sten. Because you're talking, let's how.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Did you get into cooking? Like, let's start from the beginning.
It's your first time, man, how did you get into cooking?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
What made you?

Speaker 12 (36:26):
We got some time? Okay.

Speaker 16 (36:27):
So my grandmother and my mother are excellent cooks. My
grandmother on my father's side was known for her red
rice in Charleston. Okay, you know you know about that
red rice. So she was a cook at the Pigle
Wiggily on Meat and Street.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
That's the grocery stuff all you up north. Okay, So
she was a.

Speaker 16 (36:47):
Cook, a long time cook there. But I get it
from both sides of my family. I do not have
any professional background experience. I did not go to culinary school.
It was just something I always loved to do.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I was wanting to pick. Used to be so good,
you know, and.

Speaker 12 (37:00):
It still is.

Speaker 16 (37:01):
The one on Savannah Highway. It's delicious, Okay, the fried
chicken you know Callie Greens Red Rice on Fridays. My
husband now knows about it. But so I started out
with just like my backgrounds in social work. I went
to school for psychology, just thought I was going to
do something in the nonprofit world, which I did. I

(37:21):
worked at Big Brothers, Bicks Sisters I did. I did
removal of children from homes, and I did child placement.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I did all of that.

Speaker 16 (37:30):
So in the midst of doing that, because it's just
a very hard job. You know, it's rewarding, but it's hard.
So I use cooking as an outlet for me my
entire life.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I just always done this stress exactly.

Speaker 7 (37:42):
So.

Speaker 16 (37:42):
I was living in Jersey at the time in twenty fifteen,
and I was dating this guy who one day was
like recording me. I was like, I don't know, why
he's recorded me. I thought he was just gonna put
it on Instagram. I get a call maybe a few
days later from a producer who's like, your boyfriend sent
in a video of you cooking, cooking. I was cooking.

(38:11):
I was I was cooking in the recording me cooking,
and I got a call from a producer. My bad,
let me back up. So I got a call from
a producer said, hey, we are featuring home cooks on
this new show on the Cooking Channel, and we want
to feature you. We like your style of cooking, like
your personality. I thought it was a joke. I'm like,
y'all are not about to come. I'm living in Jersey.

(38:32):
I'm just cooking, you know, for fun. This is not serious.
You can't be They were serious. They filmed the show
over course of like a weekend, and on the last
day of filming, the producer came up to me and said,
I think you you have what it takes to be
like a food personality.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I think you should try it. I listen.

Speaker 16 (38:49):
I don't know what kind of jokes you got going
on here, but this was fun. I'm going to go
back to my cubicle on Monday and go back to
my regular life. He was like, I really think you
should give this a shot. You're natural at this. I
know you've never been on TV before, but if you,
if you let us pitch you, we want to pitch
you to the Food Network.

Speaker 18 (39:05):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (39:06):
So they pitched me, and well before that, something in me.
It was just like, God, you wouldn't bring me this
far and show me this if it wasn't something behind it.
So the following week I put in my resignation letter
at work.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Ooh so you just like your discernment just said, you
know what, it's time time faith.

Speaker 16 (39:25):
Nothing ever felt right as that weekend did, and so
I stepped out on faith, sold all of my belongings,
got on the Amtrak, and moved back down to Charleston
and said this is what is going to be. I
started a supper club called the New Galla Supper Club,
where it featured all of the Gullageechee dishes, and I
honed it all my skills, and eventually they we did

(39:47):
a sizzle reel and Food Network kind of gave in,
was like, oh.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
We'll give you a shot.

Speaker 16 (39:52):
And it took about four or five years before that, yes,
because I did get a no again. I got a
few notes, but I didn't take it as no, it's
not for you. I heard it as no, not right now.
So I kept kept honing in on my skills, kept
kept doing my thing. I did my supper club, and
I had little appearances here and there on the Cooking
Channel and Food Network, and eventually they gave me my shot.

(40:14):
And with a proof of concept, they saw the proof
of concept in greenlit the first season of Delicious.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Delicious Smiths Brown. Wow, and you've won two Emmys for
that so far.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Wow out Standing Culinary Instructional Series and Outstanding Culinary.

Speaker 16 (40:28):
Hosts and the first Black woman to do so wow.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, it's so interesting, right because you know you and Sonny.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Sonny was the first black woman that I know from culture, right,
Sonny Anderson who broke through on the Food Network. How
hard is that for a black woman to break through
on the Food Network? And I only know y'all too right,
that's it, you know.

Speaker 16 (40:50):
I think over the years they've gotten better with diversity
and inclusion on the network. But for a long time
it was just Sonny the Nealys and Yes and and
Chef Aaron with Big Daddy's House and but as far
as a black woman. Back then, all I knew was
b Smith and yes, God bless her. So but Sonny

(41:14):
was the only one. And Sonny was you know, I like,
I tell anybody, Sonny is who I looked up to.
And I saw her on there, and I saw her
being her authentic self, and I was like, if she
can do it, you know I can do But yeah,
it's it's just really been us. And then now Carla
Hall is on the network as well. But it's it's
it's it's hard. You know, it's a white male dominated
field in and out of television, even with the culinary

(41:39):
world in general. You know, most executive chefs, head chefs
are white men.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
When you used to work at CPS, what was the
reason why you would take a child from a home?
Like because usually they say it takes a long time,
it has to be almost like to word, So what
would be that reason?

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Like how far does it go?

Speaker 16 (41:54):
Because it just just can deplorable environments like if you
you know I've said before or that sometimes CPS can
let things slip through the cracks. And on my watch,
you know, any any notices anything like coming in and
seeing multiple reports of abuse and you walk into a
home and you see that they're clearly living in deplorable environments.

(42:19):
After that, in multiple cases and multiple write ups, then
it would would would warrant a removal from the home,
Like there's emergency removal where there's clear abuse, and then
there's some that it takes some cases and some write
ups before that happens.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
I know a lot of parents are always scared that
my kids are gonna come to the school and say,
my mama hit me or my dad hit me.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
But that doesn't get your kids taken out.

Speaker 16 (42:40):
No, we always want we always want reunification, and we
always want children to be in their homes. But if
it's clear and there's multiple signs of something going on,
then there has to be an investigation first before a
child is just removed.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Did a child ever complain that their parents couldn't cook
and they wanted to be.

Speaker 16 (42:59):
Of course that that happens. That used to happen like
oh I didn't want this, Or kids would complain like,
oh I didn't get a chance to wear this. I
wanted to wear those sneakers. They took my game from
me or something that's you know.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Don't you get mad when they call you to the
house and you'd be like, you call them you because
your mama took your game.

Speaker 16 (43:14):
Or even when I was even when I was a
social worker and I had like, you know, kids on beyond,
like them being with their their birthright families, like when
I did child placement and they were with their temporary households,
and I would get calls on the and I can
hear the phone now, the on call phone, and I
would get some of my clients who would be like, well,

(43:34):
I'm on punishments, Like why are you unpunishment?

Speaker 2 (43:36):
What happened?

Speaker 16 (43:37):
I got a couple of f's and so you decided
to punch holes in the wall and do crazy stuff
because you got f's on your report card? Now, how
does that in three o'clock in the morning, Like I
got to go remove a child and play put him
in another home because of crazis, But you know, kids
will be kids.

Speaker 19 (43:54):
I was like, did those two did those two worlds
ever like collide at all? Like did any of the
kids that you helped finally placement homes or whatever? Now
they watch you on a food network you run into them,
Like did that ever happen?

Speaker 16 (44:04):
Like that recently just happened? I also worked for Big
Brothers Big Sisters in Newark while I was living in Jersey.
And I recently hosted a Big Brothers Big Sisters meet
and greet at my restaurant in Charleston, which was really
nice as a full circle moment, going from being a
mentor manager at Big Brothers Bick Sisters to hosting them
at my restaurant and.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
One air cardiate Brown's Southern Restaurant, Yes, in Charleston Airport.

Speaker 16 (44:30):
So it came full circle to have them, you know there,
And I remember being a struggling social worker, you know,
rubbing pennies together to make ends meet, to having the
same organization that kind of that's organization I left before
I started the Food Network show. And so to have
them at my restaurant, gosh, almost ten years later, it
meant a lot.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
You know, I've heard you say that you're cooking is
a love letter to the low Country where we're from.
What's one dish that best tells the story of where
we're from?

Speaker 2 (44:57):
You think Trump and grits.

Speaker 16 (44:59):
Yes, it's my it's my favorite. You know, it's nothing.
And I tell people every time you come to Charleston,
you have to have Charleston shrimp like it's it's it's
it's like none other. You can go anywhere in the
world and have seafood. There is nothing like low country seafood.
That that's my that's my favorite.

Speaker 9 (45:16):
I gotta go, I'm gotta come.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Rice and a red rice.

Speaker 12 (45:20):
But see you don't.

Speaker 16 (45:21):
You don't even porking.

Speaker 12 (45:22):
Your red rice.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, but a lot of people cooking out with turkey though.

Speaker 16 (45:25):
Turkey, you know you can do turkey.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Some people do it.

Speaker 16 (45:27):
Vegan, who is what's the what's the guy's name that's
from Charleston that has the no the Late night show
Stephen Colbert, his wife put anchovies in her red rice.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Yeah that sounds like you know, I love you, but
god damn god.

Speaker 20 (45:51):
You know.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
So the holidays are coming up, right, yes, Thanksgiving?

Speaker 4 (45:54):
So for for people that are not cookers, right, because
there's a lot of a lot of women, a lot
of men out there that don't cook.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
What's the easy dish for people to make that.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Can still impress some type of people, like, for instance,
Lauren has a new founded man, right, she really doesn't
know how to cook. So what would you suggest her
to cook to impress this gentleman.

Speaker 16 (46:12):
Don't do shrimp, chicken alfredo. We don't for Thanksgiving. I
would never, but I see everything. Every time I see
something on social media, everyone's like, oh, you gotta do
the the alfredo for you know, for a day. We're
not doing alfredo for Thanksgiving. I would say a spatchcock turkey.
That's super simple. People think that that takes a lot

(46:32):
to make, and it really doesn't. You just take the
backbone out out the turkey or chicken. If you don't
want to do a big chicken, I mean to a
big turkey, smash it flat down, season it injected with
some you know, some butter and some preold juices, bake
it off and it's like the tastiest, juiciest turkey.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
You will ever have.

Speaker 16 (46:51):
There's some other recipes in there. I mean, it's so simple,
Like you don't have to do a lot to impress someone.
Do something simple that takes a little less steps so
you don't get all flustered and stuff, and just make
it taste good.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Presentation too, as you.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Has your husband ever hurt your feelings right because you
are a chef, right, yes, sitting back, have you ever said.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Nah, that's not it, and you'd be like what, yes,
several times said that's the last meal.

Speaker 9 (47:17):
He was like, baby, you gotta go try that again.

Speaker 16 (47:21):
I made so I made this. I try to make
this like jerk chicken and dumpling thing. And I made
the dumplings with like frozen biscuits. It usually works. I
didn't have much time and the dumplings just kind of
like it. It did something in there. It was it
was it was yucky, it was thick, it was slimy. Also,

(47:44):
he is a is a dessert snob, and he will
call somebody's cake dry and heartbeat dry? Is it not
me sitting on these like I am a judge on
Holiday Baking Championship Spring Bacon.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
I know desserts.

Speaker 16 (48:00):
So I made a red velvet cake.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
One time.

Speaker 16 (48:02):
He took a slice of the cake and.

Speaker 9 (48:04):
I need water.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
It's a little.

Speaker 16 (48:06):
Dryadry wear, I said, do you if you put your finger?
I said, the crumb on it? Do you see the crummies?
I don't know about. All that I know is my
aunt Pam.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Why I'm Pam in there?

Speaker 16 (48:21):
Pam making a good red velvet cake and hers hers
be a little buttery. In this it's a little dry.
I don't know what you want me to tell you.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
I thought I did, right.

Speaker 16 (48:30):
I put my stick of butter in there, a little
oil for me technically stick, but I guess, I guess
I'm pam put about two or three sticks. I thought
one stick would be enough, twelve tablespoons I'm measuring. He
was like, nah, it is dry.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
So what happens after that? After he tells you it
is too dry or don't taste too good?

Speaker 1 (48:49):
What what?

Speaker 2 (48:49):
What's your next move?

Speaker 16 (48:50):
Mumbling across the house.

Speaker 12 (48:56):
He threw it away.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Oh damn, that's cold.

Speaker 16 (48:59):
But and but but then I thought about it too,
because I did go get another slice later on that
day and it was reading a little dry. So you know,
he's he's not gonna fake it.

Speaker 20 (49:10):
You know.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
I want to ask you about when you started Deliciousmiths Brown.
Did you ever imagine you'd be representing like an entire
region on National TV.

Speaker 16 (49:17):
Absolutely not. I just thought I was coming in there,
and you know, just and you know, growing up in
the Low Country and being of Gola descent, you really
don't think about it. It's just a way of living.
It's just like we're Geechee. That's it, you know, that's
all we know. And then but seeing the interests from
other people and like genuine interests of the Gulla Geechee culture.

(49:38):
Then I started to realize the importance of what I
was doing. It's not only just cooking Southern food and
frying fish and making red rice. It was really about
preserving a culture.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
How how is your goulah Geechee heritage shape? Not just
your recipes, but just the way you see community and success?

Speaker 16 (49:55):
Oh man? You know, just coming from being of gy
Geechee descent, it's like, you know, it's not many of us.
It's it's a particular region and an era and area,
and there's not many of us that make it out
of Charleston, out of South Carolina, and and so being
one of the very few it means a lot to me.
But it also means that I have I have work

(50:17):
to do because we're not gonna be just us. We
have to pave the way for other Gullageeche folks, black
folks to be able to do this too. I don't
want to keep saying that it's only one or two
women of black women in general that are on the
Food Network. Why is that all these years later, Why
is that you know? There should be more of us.

(50:38):
We I mean, the fabric of American cuisine comes from
African American people on the slaves, on the backs of
enslaved people, So why isn't there more representation across the
board with our food.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yeah, it's stabbing you up to day.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
You talked about being nervous when you first filmed that home, right,
what was the moment you realized.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
I belong here?

Speaker 12 (51:03):
I think it was.

Speaker 16 (51:04):
It wasn't. It wasn't long until the first season where
it kind of hit me like, oh, this is happening.
But later on down the line, I'm in my ten
season out of the show and recently winning the Emmys,
winning two Emmys. I think before then it's not really
the validation of it, but it's like having your peers
recognize you in a sense, because there's been so many

(51:26):
times where I've sat at tables and people are like, well,
how many restaurants do you own? You know, so what
what culinary school did you go to? And I never
really have an answer like, no, I didn't go to
culinary school.

Speaker 12 (51:36):
No I did.

Speaker 16 (51:37):
I don't own At the time, I didn't own any restaurants.
I had a traveling supper club, and so it was
always trying to fight for that I belong here. I
don't know why, y'all don't understand that. God would not
put me in a seat if it wasn't a thing
for me. And so winning the Emmy was like, oh,
I guess you do kind of got something going on here.
But but before that, I think I realized it kind of.

(52:00):
It wasn't too long until I was like, all right,
this is it. I want want to ask you right
in the intro. You got these mantras you already talked about,
you got McDonald's money. I just want to say some
of these mantras and you tell me what they mean
to you, right, And you said, these are mantras your
mother and grandmother instilled in you. And I also want
to know which one of the most relevant to you
where you are in life right now. If you want
to act grown, be grown.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Now?

Speaker 16 (52:19):
That was you know, you think you're grown, Well, then
go ahead and take your stuff and get out and
do it on your own.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Damn what me and my mom is.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Do you remember the first time you heard that?

Speaker 16 (52:28):
Yeah, I was about fourteen or fifteen, and I guess
I had got you know, started feeling myself a little bit,
and I said something back to her. She was like,
all right, if you want to act grown, you can
be grown. Pack your stuff up, call your grandmother and
tell you on the porch you need to go. I
was like, what you mean Like she actually had me
pack my stuff up and put me outside and called

(52:52):
my grandmother, said you can come get her. She could
figure out what she's doing, said she want to be
so grown here, and I was like, you can't do that,
you can't put me. But that I mean back then,
like I mean, I kind of felt I guess I
was feeling myself a little bit.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Grandma.

Speaker 16 (53:03):
Don't get you, no, Grandma, she was like absolutely not,
like Patty, let it back in the house.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Don't don't do it like that.

Speaker 16 (53:10):
You know, she didn't mean, she didn't mean any harm,
but you know. It took about an hour or two,
but she let me back in. But I at that
point I realized.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
I was not grown.

Speaker 16 (53:17):
The Lord will make a way out of no way
every single time. And I say that with conviction, every
single time. I am a living testimony of making God
would bring you through the darkest storms. I was homeless
at one point, so to be here today talking about
my second cookbook and being here with you all as

(53:37):
a testament that God will will bring you out.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
The darkest situation was that the moment.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Because we all, you know, we all are believers and
we all have faith, but we always had that one
real moment where we like, Lord, God, I know.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
That was God. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (53:51):
I feel like it happens on a daily you know,
like just driving to work or flying on a plane
or just doing it like when you land like that
that was nothing but God. Or you know, getting home
to your your house and your family that that had
to been God because anything could have happened in between times.
So I you know, and you see that on a
on a daily.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
He will never give you more than you can bear.

Speaker 16 (54:14):
Never, And I think as as humans, we underestimate how
much we can actually take and deal with, and God
shows us like, Okay, yeah, this may be a very
trying time, but I'm given this to you because I
know you can handle it. And once you handle it,
and if it happens again, you know that I've been
here before, I've handled this. So this coming, the next

(54:37):
thing coming, and you know it's easy, it's nothing.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
And I think this is when people need to really
understand in this era, don't be penny wise and pound foolish.

Speaker 9 (54:46):
Yeah, my grandma be saying that to me.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Yeah, tell me.

Speaker 16 (54:49):
Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. Means that you
don't don't think you know more than what you actually do.
You know, be open and receptive to feedback, criticism and
constructive criticism.

Speaker 5 (55:03):
And you don't know everything.

Speaker 16 (55:05):
You don't and there's somebody that's going to know a
little bit more than you, or somebody's gonna help you
understand this. But be open and receptive to to criticism,
constructive feedback, and just advice.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
What's next for the Delicious Miss Brown brand? You know
we got cookbooks, we got restaurants, we got products.

Speaker 12 (55:23):
Yes, you know.

Speaker 16 (55:26):
Right now I am looking forward to I'm hosting Kids
Baking Championship with Duf Goldman at the top of the year.
Holiday Baking Championship is on now, you know I'm at
this time. I'm I'm the type of person that's always
like I got to have everything in control, Like I
got to have my next plan written down. I know
I'm doing this, I know I'm gonna do that next.

(55:47):
I am allowing the universe to do what it is. Oh, okay,
whatever God has for me, I'm not gonna limit myself
to anything has given you in work that has given
me so much. Social media and I'm and i am
very I do it to this day. I'm guilty of
comparing to other people's where they are in their life,

(56:11):
their their point c to my point. A.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
We was talking about that this morning and I was like, Yo,
they got people got to stop doing that.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
You could be lying on social media lie.

Speaker 16 (56:20):
They have every all day, especially to people that you
know that you know, I know you don't live like that,
but I I, you know, get caught up with that.
And social media makes it really easy to get caught
up with comparing your journey to someone else's. And I've
I've caught myself saying that, Okay, I you know, if

(56:42):
this book doesn't get New York Times Bestseller, but why
did their books? You know, why is their book? Why
is this book not selling? It's fine, And I'm tired.
You get tired of that because at the end of
the day, what what my pieces, my slow mornings being
with my husband, having the freedom to get up and
do what I love to do every day. That's the
older you get, the more those things matter to you.

(57:03):
So it's the peace of mind of knowing just like, hey,
whatever happens, happens, but I know it's going to always
be for my greater good.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
You dedicated the book to your husband? Why why did
you dedicated to your Huand.

Speaker 16 (57:16):
He's the reason why I cook. He's I enjoy cooking
for myself, you know. But it's nothing like, babe, what
you're feeling like today, you know, or like you know,
with seeing his face when he's excited about something that
I'm making, and when he walks in the house and
I'm cooking and he's like, ooh, it smell good in here.
That that makes me feel good.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
So I get.

Speaker 16 (57:36):
I get gratification and satisfaction from it's my love language
feeding you know, not only his body, but it's soul too.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
So that's what And I also want to say, uh,
you know, we always say we're losing recipe. You do
you think cookbooks are are spiritual?

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Because absolutely, especially.

Speaker 16 (57:56):
Coming from you know, black and brown households where recipes
are not written down. It's only like word of mouth.
And so God forbid if Big Mama goes and y'all
didn't get that sweet potato pie recipe or that fat
bag recipe, and nobody wrote it down and nobody can
call her, you know. So having recipes written down and
the stories that follow the recipes are so important because

(58:18):
eventually all of us are gonna leave this place one day,
and you got something, gotta have something left to talk about.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Well, thank you for joining us one, Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
And listen, I'm over the holidays. What's the date we're
gonna be with Chris Kalen? Yes day after given so, Yeah,

the Magnolia Room. Myself, Cardier and aj from the We
Talk Back podcast will be with Chris Kalen at the
Magnolia Room and Charleston seven to twenty Magnoliear road Man.

However, Brown and make sure you go to Cardier Brown,
Stubborn and Charlton Airport Man's I'm telling you, somebody's listening

Speaker 2 (59:12):
That's right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
Everybody's j n V Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy we
on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a
straight fast she gets somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 9 (59:26):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 12 (59:29):
She'd be having the latest on the Kings, the Law,
the latest with Lauren la Rosa.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.

Speaker 12 (59:38):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 19 (59:40):
So Kirk Franklin sat down with Carlos King for Reality
with the King and they had a conversation about a
lot of different things, Kirk Franklin and where he stands
with his son currently, Kirk Franklin and just who he
is as a person. And uh, I think Carlos King
was honestly kind of shocked by how real Kirk Franklin was.

(01:00:00):
But they got into a very deep conversation about sexuality.
There's been a conversation around Kirk Franklin and his son.
You guys, remember the phone call that happened, and you
know between the two of them, and it's obvious that
they've been trying to mend things behind the scenes, right,
But there's been another conversation about if Kirk Franklin feels
a way or has whatever animosity toward his son because

(01:00:21):
his son has come out as bisexual, and Carlos King
acts Kirk Franklin about that, and Carlos King and Kirk
Franklin didn't talk about Kirk Franklin's sexuality being questioned and
that not being a factor.

Speaker 9 (01:00:31):
Let's take a listen to Kirk Franklin.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Where do you think things went wrong between you and
your oldest son.

Speaker 24 (01:00:37):
As you follow his life, you can see that there's
more of internal struggles that are not environmental. They are
not just from experiences. I'm only sharing what has been
very public that people can see a lot of times
in the deterioration of certain moods and behaviors on his

(01:01:00):
social media and a lot of his platforms. At age
nine and ten, we were trying to figure out how
much much much of it was disciplined aary always having
to be called up to the school and not knowing
at times that they were deeper issues. We are very
in trepidationous in our community when it comes to mental conversations.

(01:01:21):
And you know, you just don't have the language. You
don't have the language, you don't know that, you don't
know much. And so that's my perspective, that's the perspective
of his mother, that's perspective of other professionals and other
great men that had been in his life.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Sounds like he thought about mental health issues right there.

Speaker 9 (01:01:37):
And that's yes, we went to the wrong clip. But
it's okay because confused, it's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Always talk like he just that evangelist's voices, just always
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
And Lauren, it's okay to stop the clipper say it's
the wrong clip.

Speaker 19 (01:01:53):
Confused, Sorry, I thought maybe I could just like no, yes, okay,
So yes, that was the clip where he was he was, well, yeah,
Kirk Franklin is always gonna mimind you of the church
because we've been hearing his voice for so long.

Speaker 9 (01:02:03):
And in that clip, yes, he is talking about what
the deeper issue is.

Speaker 19 (01:02:06):
So basically, Carlos Carlos King poses that question to Kirk Franklin, like,
is the issue that your son is bisexual? Kirk Franklin says, no,
not at all, and I'm still fighting for my son.
And he says, this is exactly what is happening or
what we believe. And he talks about his son's mental
health and they're still figuring that out. But then they
go into the conversation about Kirk Franklin's sexuality because Kirk
Franklin is trying to make the point that he accepts

(01:02:28):
all people. He's been in conversation with people about his sexuality,
so he understands where certain things are coming from, but
he doesn't hate anybody. Now, let's take a listen to
Kirk Franklin on sexuality.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Somebody in the chat said, it's always the wrong clip.
Y'all be stopping the show forever. Thank you for noticing chat. Okay,
feel like you're crazy in it?

Speaker 6 (01:02:49):
Are?

Speaker 9 (01:02:49):
Okay, Yeah, go ahead, right.

Speaker 24 (01:02:52):
Most most of my life I was I've had my
sexuality question.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
You know, I'm little. I think I like a little bit.

Speaker 24 (01:02:58):
And then I came up in gospel me m you
know where a lot of my brothers were feminine men,
but they were great friends to me. They were beautiful
souls to me, and it hurts.

Speaker 5 (01:03:07):
You people question on sexuality.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
Oh yeah it did. Oh yeah, when I was a
young boy. Yes, how early on do you remember your
your sexuality being questioned the school in high school?

Speaker 24 (01:03:17):
It's because when I was a choired because I've always
been in the arts, and then I was adopted by
a woman I probably you know, was very comfortable and
by feminine it is a man. My sexuality for me
was never a space where it was anything but heterosexual.
But I've always been loving and compassionate to people.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I can't wait until y'all stop caring where people want
to put their penis, Like, like, who gives a damn?

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
I'm gonna start.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Thinking if you can't so much huh talking about I'm
gonna start think. I'm gonna start thinking, if you care
so much about it where a man is putting his penis,
is because you want to try me.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
It's like when you ask the girl you got a man,
you got a man, you got a man? You single.

Speaker 5 (01:03:57):
So they can put their bid in Like that's what
I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
I just said that, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (01:04:01):
I got what you're trying to say.

Speaker 19 (01:04:03):
I think with Kirk Franklin, the reason why because he's
talked about this multiple times before and refute claims multiple
times before. But with him, people like to have this
conversation not just because of whatever is happening with his son,
but because he's a man of faith and you know
he leads in all the things. Because they also get
on him about his outfits. Remember he was dancing on stage.
He tried to make that a thing as well too.
So I don't think people will ever let Kirk Franklin

(01:04:25):
just be who he is.

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
They just want just.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
Because you got to be gay, that little pimps. Most
pimps are little you know.

Speaker 9 (01:04:31):
I thought about you when he said that, shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Come to think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
I don't know a lot of little gays what you
think about it. I don't really know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
No, that's because your algorithm is full of transgenders, and
a lot of them be big. So you upset, that's
what you're thinking about. But no, he's coming all sides.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
It's just no, no, no, I just said, I don't
really know the little ones who little ones?

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
What you mean you mean? Like, I don't know what
you mean by little kid? Just what you said little?

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
Sure he is he little, He's.

Speaker 19 (01:05:02):
Just he's not little to you because you're little, and
that's why I thought of you said I've always been.

Speaker 9 (01:05:08):
I was like, you've been fighting your whole life.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Like five football gay rooms didn't start from me until recently.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Okay, what recently you've always had as when recently?

Speaker 9 (01:05:21):
Like when?

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Actually, probably since I got to New York. And this
guy said that you took a bus to go see him,
And when was that? When that was recently? That was
what fifteen years ago? But I was in New York,
That's when I got to New York back.

Speaker 12 (01:05:33):
In the day.

Speaker 9 (01:05:33):
Guy, How does that make you feel?

Speaker 12 (01:05:35):
Unless we know that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
There's a lot of gay men in New York, so
they think I'm just one of them, especially in the industry.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
And what happened when you pulled up on what y'all
did in the bus.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
I don't know this person. I didn't know the person
it was. He had a whole story. He did have
a whole story. It was funny too. People got whole
stories about you two.

Speaker 12 (01:05:51):
Is the true?

Speaker 9 (01:05:54):
Hey, honestly, maybe that's the things that illuminati and you gay?

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Then that's when you made it right, the illumina. I've
admitted to that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):

opportunity to come out what I am?

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Do they take gays?

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
They I'm not in that?

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
What makes you eligible?

Speaker 17 (01:06:14):

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
I let y'all know soon. Okay, Yeah, I'm gonna let
y'all know. Shout out real soon my Illuminati membship will

Speaker 9 (01:06:33):
Why look in his eye that his thought like that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
I don't know up here.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
One of the first things I was warned about with
DJ and B. I walked into an apartment complex.

ball head like you and you're about the same complexion.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
That's what you tell and that's.

Speaker 19 (01:07:01):
How it starts, and that's why you got to getting
people got to get on these interviews I heard from
Carlos king clear things up.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
I wouldn't do as soon as she told me, I
told him, I'm just letting you know somebody won't be

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
I'm glad you got that T and B. That's good.

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
I'm not explaining nothing to believe what you won't believe.
From Gay Charlamagne gave give you. Make sure you listen
to the Reality with the King from Carlos King on
The Black Effect podcast for the full convo.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Yes, now we're giving you donkey cho crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
We need James Bowman to come to the front of
the congregation. We like to have a world, please James Bowman,
the third from Maryland.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
All right, just might knowing. Oh we'll get to that next.
It's the Breakfast Club to Morning with the Dumpy.

Speaker 12 (01:08:19):
It's time for donkeys around here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Yes, you are a donkey what the hell, what the hell?
Some donkey today is just said himself.

Speaker 26 (01:08:34):
Oh man, Charlotte Mane, who are you giving donky to
do tonight?

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Well, Rob fort nine, donkey today for Wednesday, November twelve
goes to a Maryland man named James Bowman the third. Okay,
he is forty years old and he was recently arrested
for a domestic related assault. Okay, according to reports, Bowman
punched the woman in the face and he bit her
hands so rightfully so that got his ass locked up.
But he was released on a PR bond. We know
what a PR bond is, right, It's when a defendant

(01:09:05):
is allowed to leave jail before they try without posting money.
You just got to sign a document and pledge your
word to appear in court for all required hearings.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Well that's what he did, so he got released.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
It's also interesting about PR bonds is a judge assesses
the defendants risk factors, things like their criminal record, employment status,
community ties, etc.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
Etc. Yes, yes, just to determine if they are reliable.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
If they are a reliable candidate for release, well run, well,
it's safe to say the judge got this one wrong. Okay,
let's go to Fox five DC for the report.

Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
Police a woman and her toddler were assaulted inside their
home in this Waldorf neighborhood last week, allegedly by the
same man arrested for the same prime hours earlier. This
is James Bowman, the third, forty years old, arrested last
Friday for a domestic related assault where he's accused of

(01:09:58):
punching the victim in the face. That happened just hours
after he was released from the Charles County Adult Detention Center.
A state appointed District Court commissioner released Bowman on his
own recognisance, telling him not to abuse the woman, But
within an hour, Charles County Sheriff's investigators say Bowman was
back on Drake Court inside the victim's home, where he

(01:10:20):
broke into her locked bedroom and assaulted the terrified woman
and her toddler, leaving them beaten and bloody. She was
able to call nine one one and have Bowman arrested again.
This time, a judge ordered the suspect beheld without bond.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
You know, ladies, sometimes, just sometimes I understand why you
would trust the bear more.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
Okay, I did.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Melissa Ford's Hot and Bothered podcast recently dropping a clues bomb,
Melissa Ford. You could check that out wherever you listen
to podcasts and on YouTube. And we had a discussion
about that whole women trusting a bear over a man scenario.
That's all was debating about on social media a couple
of years ago. And I know it sounds ridiculous in theory,
but I get it, okay, because with a bear, at
least you know what you're gonna get for the most part,

(01:11:04):
all right. A bear is a wild animal, all right.
His behavior, for the most part, is pretty predictable. If
that bear is not getting, you know, its snap benefits.
If that bear is a federal worker who hasn't been
paid in forty days and can't put food on the
table for his kids, you in trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
The moral of the story is bears attacked when they
are threatened are hungry, all right. Humans way too unpredictable, okay.
It's a whole host of complex reasons a human might attack.
And I don't got time to be playing guests and
games with you and Gus, So the bear it is, okay,
I get it. James Bowman is one of those examples
that women will point to in order to say they
trust the bear more and who am I to argue?

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
This man punched the woman in the face, bit her hand,
and then when he got released six hours later, just
six hours later, spun the block and went back to
this woman's house and beat her up again, and this
time she was holding a toddler. Hey, I want to
say something to these correctional centers, these correctional facilities.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
It's okay to keep people.

Speaker 12 (01:12:02):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Bail is a privilege, not a right. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
I hope that whatever judge he goes in front of
now looks at the fact that he was granted bail
and went and committed the same Hanus crime within hours,
and she was holding a toddler in her hand, and
he did not care keep him, keep him. Okay, These
correctional facilities have to start doing some real correcting. See,

(01:12:26):
this brother is hurting, and as long as he's hurting,
he's gonna continue to hurt others. And you can't heal
in the same place you keep hurting people. So he
needs to be away from this young woman.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
If the first thing you do when you walk out
of jail for beating a woman is go right back
to the person. You just traumatized and traumatized him again.
Oh you don't need bail, Okay, you need boundaries, you
need a therapist, a bible, and probably an exorcism, definitely
an exorcism. Trust and belief. If you can't break the cycle,
the cycle will break you. And this brother is beyond broken.

(01:12:58):
Please let rem Ma give you Aame's bowman, the third,
the biggest he huh.

Speaker 9 (01:13:02):
He haw he ha, you stupid, mother, are you dumb?

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
His is Yeah, Maryland is a big stick.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
Yeah he that's yeah, he right where he belonged.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
That's ridiculous. All right, Well, thank you for that, donkey
of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
And what's crazy is how fast they let people back
out of jail for doing things like this.

Speaker 4 (01:13:23):
That's what a lot of people are saying with these
new bail reforms, a lot of people get out for
doing the same crime over and over and over again.
So a lot of times it discourages police to lock
him back up because it's like they just get back
on the street.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
It's weird because it could have killed her this time.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
The second time, right, and it's it's such a heinous crime,
like you know, I think when you get out that fast.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
You should be like something traffic related or with your license,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
But when it's something violent, it's just like yo, within
six hours, you just out like that's a little crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
It makes no sense. Happens a lot, No, But that
was Donkey of the day.

Speaker 27 (01:13:52):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
We were talking about reality with the King a little
while ago with Carlos King and the whole Kirk Franklin conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
Right, and I think we're talking about Kirk Franklin's sexuality, and.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
It just I'm just sitting here thinking and I'm looking
at the chat and we was having a conversation about
why do y'all care so much when a man is
gay or if a man is gay, Like why what
does it matter?

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
But who that man is sleeping with don't make you?
So what does it matter?

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
Okay, let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five
eight five five one over there, ready to say the
wrong thing.

Speaker 12 (01:14:26):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
I'm saying, you don't know people fetishes what another man.

Speaker 7 (01:14:33):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Who cares? That's what I think.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
It's the same when you see a woman and you
be like, damn, I wonder if she's single? Like, why
you like, you want to know if she's single because
you want to highlight her. So why you want to
know if I'm gay?

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
So bad?

Speaker 12 (01:14:44):
But we know you are.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
But that's the question. Eight hundred five eight five one
oh five it just happened. Why do people care if
a man is gay? Let's open up the phone line gay? Huh?
Why he accuse you of being gay? Again? Again? Yes,
I think it should be, but it can't be.

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
Anybody just gotta be a man.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
Yeah, because don't nobody care when women gay?

Speaker 9 (01:15:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:15:08):
It does be cool?

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Know what it cares?

Speaker 12 (01:15:11):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
But eight hundred five eighty five the chat that is crazy.
Somebody said, so we can act accordingly around that person.

Speaker 8 (01:15:16):
What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
What the hell does that mean? So you can act
accordingly around the person?

Speaker 15 (01:15:21):
What does that mean?

Speaker 12 (01:15:22):
Dad?

Speaker 6 (01:15:23):
What is it?

Speaker 20 (01:15:23):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:15:25):
Alright, let's discuss. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, the
breakfast club, Good morning. Everybody is d J n V
jess hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club.
If he's just joining us.

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Charlemagne came up with the question, why do people care
if he's gay on you?

Speaker 21 (01:15:41):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
Because Lauren la Rosa during the latest she played the
latest episode of Reality with the King from my guy,
Carlos King. You could check that out on the black
Back podcast network, and he was interviewing Kirk Franklin, and
Kirk Franklin was on there having conversations and I guess
people think his son is gay.

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
Well he said yeah, yeah, he said yeah, they questioned
his sexuality. But Kirk Franklin is not get and people
questioning Kurts. My thing is this is who cares? Why
do we care if another man is gay? It's twenty
twenty five. Why are people still having this conversation? And
it just got me to thinking, I think that these
men be wanting to try the other man. That's why

(01:16:15):
they want to know.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
It's the same thing when you see a woman and
she looked good and you're like, damn, I wonder she's single,
you know what I mean, So you get your mind
ready to holler at her. So the guy be like, oh, shoot,
I wonder if he gay. So you want to make
sure you know before you shoot your shot. That's what
I'm taking from this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
Well, in the chat they said, because you know, they
said they want to make sure. The chat is so stupid.
They said, they want to make sure they're not sharing
a blunt with you.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
No, listen, yo, that is a real thing.

Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
I'm glad somebody said it not.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
I mean, look, yo, so.

Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
Before shut up and you know that's not how it
worked because you ain't get it yet.

Speaker 16 (01:16:49):
So look, yo, I was, I was.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
I was cool.

Speaker 5 (01:16:52):
I was real, real close with this gay deer yo.

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
And he smoked a lot, but he always had some
good weed. But every time he rolled, I want to
hit it, you know what I'm saying, because I know
that he'd be you know, on.

Speaker 5 (01:17:04):
The other girls to get in.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
Then, yes, you do. You smoke blunts with girls and

I don't be smoking with.

don't I know people my sister I smoke with her,
I spoke with my husband. I don't smoke with it.

Speaker 21 (01:18:43):

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):

a human?

Speaker 28 (01:18:52):
Like, no, it's not it's not for I got nothing
because it's not it.

Speaker 12 (01:18:58):
It'd be kind.

Speaker 28 (01:18:59):
It's kind of weird.

Speaker 27 (01:19:00):
You know, you can't just talk about what.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
You act differently?

Speaker 26 (01:19:05):
Like what what?

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
How would you act differently differently?

Speaker 28 (01:19:08):
I mean like, you know, we talked about girls or whatever.
You know they're not all that you really.

Speaker 3 (01:19:13):
Just say, right, he talking about the conversation. So if
he's talking about you know what I'm saying, like, Yo,
I'm about to go and jump up in something or
I was in I was in it and short he
was none of that. And he like, no, I can't
relate because yeah, but gave men make good wing men.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
That gave me be like, you want me to go
say something to her for you? That's how they talk.

Speaker 5 (01:19:31):
Oh that's the that's the voice I was doing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
The voice that was.

Speaker 12 (01:19:37):
Up talk.

Speaker 27 (01:19:38):
He no, I just want to say my love y'all.

Speaker 23 (01:19:41):
I've been trying to get you to y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Thank you, Sedrick. We appreciate you. Man, young throw monster
in the making.

Speaker 5 (01:19:48):
Hey, yo, yo, you give you straight man? Shut up
to that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
The conversation were trying to get.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Know we not we just we don't care why you
guess I'm gay?

Speaker 18 (01:20:07):
I don't care about that question.

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
Now why do people care if man is gay? All right?

Speaker 23 (01:20:12):
So from my experience, I feel like a lot of
people have the conception of us being soft soft, not
in a way of us liking the guide, the soft
on the way of we take everything offensively and pretty
much the sigma that you see on TV.

Speaker 29 (01:20:29):
So I know, for me, a lot of times when
people find out I'm gay, they're like, yeah, you're the
fullest gay person I ever met.

Speaker 23 (01:20:34):
And that's and not all of us.

Speaker 29 (01:20:37):
Falling that concession of we get easy offended, we feel
some type of way, like we just said the thing
about not a female can't have babies. I wasn't offended
by that, and I felt like that was the truth
that should have been nothing that should have been taken off.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
To begin with. Thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:20:57):
You know what, I really don't understand because what's the
what's the problem, Like, what's the difference like the chat
I see in the chat, I see people like YA
don't want my gay homie jumping on the table doing
the split.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
I don't want my straight homie jumping on the table.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
Now, I'm gonna tell you something. I disagree. If you
can do it split in the air, like what's a
little homie name that was on consan not screams homie name.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
That was impressive. If you can do that, do it.
I don't care what he is. If you can that game,
ty lil.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Yes, if you can do that, that's impressive. I don't
care if he's getting out. My point is you said
that you wouldn't want your straight homie doing that. I disagree.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
If you get.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
Me doing it, I'm gonna want to be in the club,
join on the table doing the play bro. If you
that acrobatic and you that flexible, do it, and you
should be backup dancing for Chris Brown Fly.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
Little what was his name?

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
Ty little toy little got some super powers that he's
not using to melody.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
That is impressive.

Speaker 5 (01:21:49):
He is splitting that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
I'll be telling all my homies, Yo, watch homie.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
Yo tie leo do that thing, yo jumping the angel
the split that was impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
I don't care what y'all say. Y'all kiss my head.
We got omar on al Omar, what's up so unserious? Omar?

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):

of the wife.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):

Speaker 18 (01:22:15):
This crowd man first of all.

Speaker 27 (01:22:17):
First of all and reaching out to everybody used to
make and love him for the storm that's going out,
yes to my mom while the storm was blowing over
and I was here all night with all.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
The yes sir to the topic. You know what he said,
Yes I did.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
He said that he's shouting out everybody that got hurting
this storm in Jamaica. And he was on the phone
with his mom while she was going through the storm
the whole time.

Speaker 27 (01:22:38):
See, like bless, I had a friend, man, Well, not
a friend, this guy.

Speaker 5 (01:22:48):
Friend your friend?

Speaker 23 (01:22:50):
Well, I say a friend, you know.

Speaker 18 (01:22:51):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 23 (01:22:52):
But you said with all the friends the girls man,
So probably all the time he was real girl.

Speaker 29 (01:22:58):
You know you left with him, dude, And he was
a bit of a flocking because every time he was
wrong with the throw do you you know what I mean?
Don't you have to pick on him?

Speaker 27 (01:23:09):
A few years later I.

Speaker 17 (01:23:10):
Went to make.

Speaker 14 (01:23:13):
I couldn't do.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
That's what you get for judging, That's what you get
for stereotyping that man you thought he was gay?

Speaker 23 (01:23:20):
Man cry all the time?

Speaker 27 (01:23:22):
Man, it's something wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
With Yeah, but I don't got nothing to do with
being gay. Just because you suck your thumb, don't mean
you sucking. Can't say what?

Speaker 18 (01:23:30):
Yeh?

Speaker 29 (01:23:31):
Don't put not out?

Speaker 6 (01:23:32):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
So you don't smoke weed. Don't you smoke a big spliff,
a big fat spliff. Jesus, Yes, come on man, No,
but you just don't put nothing in your mouth. I
need y'all to be consistent. It makes sense, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
Come on with you being you, being like purposely descriptive
like that, like extra fat long splips like come on.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
About this show is gay?

Speaker 5 (01:23:53):
Hello?

Speaker 14 (01:23:56):
This is Jason from The bron Jack.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
Why you can't if men say if they're gay or not?

Speaker 14 (01:24:01):
I actually don't care.

Speaker 23 (01:24:03):
I think it's weird when people care about other people's
sexual preference. I say that I agree with Charlemagne's.

Speaker 14 (01:24:08):
It's the same thing with parents caring about their children's
sexual preference.

Speaker 23 (01:24:12):
It's just weird. If it ain't true, why do you care?

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Why do you care?

Speaker 10 (01:24:15):
With you?

Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
Thank you for calling Jasmine? Yeah dig Charlamagne je Remember
what I said earlier?

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
These these men that wanted these men that want to
know if other men are gay, and we want me
to say yes so he can't try me. Remember, got
a crush on you know, it came up in the
nineties in New York and as we as we the
years their nineties in New York.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
In two thousands, good bye.

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
Oh no, nothing is gay and that no, no, no,
it's just more openly gay in Atlanta, New York a
little different.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
New York is oil your ankles, let your tast I see.

Speaker 12 (01:25:00):
That's that's so brutal.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:25:04):
You see what I'm saying, Well, before we get tomorrow,
I did not have a crush on Charloaman.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
But go ahead, what's what's your boiler story?

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
What you mean what you don't have a crush on me?
I don't, but that told me. And you're not gay,
You got a crush on somebody, you.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Have a crush on me? But what's the boiler story? Them?

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
All of the story is who cares where another man
is putting his penis. It's twenty twenty five, it's about
to be twenty twenty six. Y'all really got to stop
giving a damn about that. And I'm telling you right now.
For all of you men that keep wanting to know
if a man is gay, I'm just going to assume
you want that man. You want to know if that
man is gay for your own personal benefit. That's all
I'm going to see from now on.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Look, look, okay, so what if a girl want to
get to know a guy, right, but he did the
thing with the dudes back in the day, but he
don't do that no more? Should she not know that?

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
No, it's the same past. No, it's the same thing
as when a girl tried to holler at you and
you married, you be like, no, I'm married. So if
the girl tried to holler the gear got a get
to be like, no, I'm I'm gay.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
No no, no, no, no, no no. But that's the thing.
What if he not now, like, what if he like
but that was in his past, like he was he
was doing to think that the dudes baser And you
want to know I'm talking about he did he yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
Yeah, like yeah, he was delivered back on the other
side of the fence. And I don't got to tell
you about my past.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
Okay, I was gonna say, ship he let her know,
or until they go to the club at Homie, come
you know what I'm saying and be like and then yeah,
like I had before, like what if?

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):

the ceremony like they probably did it back in the States, right, gotcha,

And for all the men that were like arguing in
defense of what he was saying, what makes men think
that just because you're older, you're the better choice either.
I'm just saying because I feel like good. A good person,
whether a man or woman, doesn't come with age. That's
a personal choice, as personal development. Like, there's a lot
of things that go into that. Men think just because
they get older. Y'all are like the Golden Prize.

too short to waste any amount of time on wondering
what other people think about you. Okay, if they had
better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't be
thinking about you in the first place. Okay, they wouldn't
have time to sit around and talk about you. What's
important to me is not others opinions of me, But
what's important to me is my opinion of my self.
