Okay, well, this is the first year that I actually
did fall decorations, and so we put up pumpkins. I
was excited because my neighbors do it all the time.
I know, I just do Christmas. So we got busy whatever.
I was excited about that, and I got to give
you some spray. There's a spray that you spray on
the pumpkins so that the animals don't eat the pumpkins,

Why we're doing football scores, but I'll do them. The
Eagles beat the Vikings twenty eight twenty two, Patriots beat
the Titans. The Browns beat the Dolphins, did Chiefs beat
the Raiders? The Giants lost to the Broncos. That is
so disrespectful, so nasty, so disgusting.

Y'all should be ashamed of yourself. Y'all up to nineteen
nothing in the fourth quarter, come back you miss two
point like, oh my gosh, No, not like that. I
Cowboys beat when's the last time that happened? I said
it sixty eight hasn't happened in sixteen hundred games. Our
team has been up to nineteen points in the fourth
quarter more, but of course the Giants broke that record.
The Cowboys beat the Commander's forty four to twenty two.
(04:37):
Forty nine has beat the Falcons twenty ten. The Packers

Good morning, MV Josh Alderman. How y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Hagger beast me me?
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (05:01):
All right.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Well, we start this morning with massive protests around the
country as millions took to the streets for the No
King's Movement, a direct response to President Trump and his administration.
Nearly seven million people across all fifty states and all
around the world joined Saturday's demonstrations, denouncing what they call
an abuse of power by the President. The organizers say
it was the largest single day protests against a sitting
(05:24):
president in modern day history, surpassing the first wave of
no King demonstrations held back in June from Boston to
Los Angeles, huge crowds filled the streets, waving flags, carrying signs.
Protesters said that they were marching to defend democracy, oppose
immigration rates, and pushback on troop deployments and health care cuts.
And in Washington, Senator Bernie Sanders he took to the
(05:47):
stage calling out what he says are growing threats to democracy.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Let's listen, this.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth who,
in their insatiable grief, have hijacked our economy and our
political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense
of working families throughout this country. I am talking about
(06:14):
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Fax Zuckerberg, and they are the
multi billionaires.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
Well, meanwhile, Republicans are dismissing the protests as hate America rallies,
accusing Democrats of fueling unrest during the ongoing government shutdown,
and reporters they pressed President Trump for his reaction to
the massive demonstrations this weekend, and this was his response,
what's your response?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
In the protest over the weekend. The new kings pregnesses, I.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
Think it's a joke. I looked at the people. They're
not representative of this country. And I looked at all
the brand new science paid for. I guess it was
paid for by Surus and other radical left lunatics.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
It looks like it was.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective,
and the people who are worked out. When you look
at those people, those are not representative but the people
of our.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Country beside San Francisco.
Speaker 10 (07:09):
I'm not a king. I'm not a king. I work
my ass off to make our country great. That's all
it is. I'm not a king at all.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, I don't think he's a king. He's just not
a good president.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I mean, when you have a bunch of people who
are unemployed and you have a bunch of people who
are getting paid, what do you expect them to do?
They feel like they're not being hers, of course they're
going to take.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
To the screet absolutely, and just to say trumpy. Also,
he mocked those demonstrations Saturday. While they were going on,
he posted on true social including AI generated video showing
him wearing a Crown flying a jet and bombing protesters
with some sort of brown liquid. But despite the criticism,
organizers are saying that it was a success, saying millions
(07:50):
came together to peacefully send a clear message about democracy.
And later today in Washington the shutdown, the Senators will
reconvene at three pm to take another vote at five
point thirty on reopening the government and see if we're
going to continue the shutdown.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
So you're going to continue to watch that.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Nobody's gonna be happy because Donald Trump made a lot
of promises about the economy that you have not been kept.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And he promised immediate relief on day one.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
The inflation would be down, you know, Grocery prices would
be down, gas prices would be downe That's what he
promised the American people on day one. All you've seen
is a bunch of you know, firings and layoffs and
furloughs and people not working. What does he expect people
to do except for taking to the street to make
some noise, especially the Holliday's coming up too. Oh my god,
this is the ultimate reminder that you ain't got no goddamn.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Money in your pocket.
Speaker 9 (08:38):
Absolutely, and people are really feeling it. Not only is
he doing all those things Charlemagne, he is pardoning and
commuting sentences. So former Congressman George Santos, he is a
free man this morning after President Trump.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Commuted his sentence. You guys remember him.
Speaker 9 (08:51):
He was the congressman who was indicted or he went
to jail for seven years for wire fraud and identity
theft after admitting he stole campaign funds and lied to
donors for personal gain. And so now after hours after
his release, Trump posted on true social saying Santos had
been horribly treated in prison.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
And he was ordering his immediate release.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
And now not only did Trump commute his sentence, he
also just wiped his slate completely clean, including removing his probation,
his fines, his supervised release, and his restitution. I think
the restitution part is important because he had been told
that he had to pay back three hundred and seventy
thousand dollars to his victims. Now, if you remember, he
(09:34):
had been convicted of stealing money from a fundraiser for
a six service doll from a Navy veteran. His supporters,
including Marjorie Taylor Green, they argued that his punishment was
too harsh and that his time in solitary confinement was unfair,
But records show that Santos had actually requested to be
in solitary confinement for his sanity and his safety. And
(09:54):
the backlash over his release is being felt on both
sides of the aisle, with some Republicans saying the move
rewards bad behavior and undermines public trust in leadership.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, did did Trump ever say why he decided to
pardon George Sanda?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Well, he just said that a lot of people asked
him to. The only person that has come out and
said that they asked him to was Marjorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So you know, you gotta laugh at the judicial system
at this point, right, And anybody who if you're cool
with Trump, you really don't serve much time. You ain't
got to pay restitution, you ain't on probation. I heard
him this morning, Santo say that he was lucky. They
were like, well, are you gonna payr victims back? He goes,
whatever the court makes me do, it is what I'm
going to do. So anything over that, Nope.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
You don't even care, Like no, and he has to
do none of that.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
Things to Trump and b so We will continue to
see what happens with that. But he is out of
jail this morning and a free man. All right, Well,
coming up at seven, the growing problem that has everyone
screening their calls.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Will tell you what it is and how to fight back.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. Eight
hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
need to vent, phone lines wide open again. Eight hundred

then she didn't return to the stage at all for
the rest.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Of the sho Yeah, and by the way, she did
sound good on her way out, right, Like she still
sounded good on the way out too, But.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I thought so too.
Speaker 13 (20:09):
But I mean, according to her, you know how, she
felt it wasn't what she needed it to be. So
she's on the side of the stage. There's a bunch
of fan videos of them recording her going back and
forth with the audio engineers, just trying to figure things out.
She doesn't return, so then Monica comes out and finishes
the rest of the set. Uh, let's take a listen
to Monica because they don't get to hear this night
in Chicago Saturday the boy's mind.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Let's take a listen to Monica.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I definitely when to say it's on the.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Share of the stage with Brandy. Now I'm saying you
spoke about in my heart.
Speaker 12 (20:42):
It took twenty seven years to figure out what we
were supposed to be. And when I'm realizing this, we
allowed too many other people in the midst of what
was just supposed to be us.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
So and on just the way out here as I'm saying,
all around.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
This, okay, I might be going death because it's off
for me to hear what they were saying. So was
it the sound or was it dehydration?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Because Lauren I saw the next day that it was
like some dehydration stuff, but nobody sounded dehydrated.
Speaker 13 (21:30):
So the next day, because fans were trying to figure
out what was going on, there were a lot of
people upset, but there were a lot of people concerned
because Brandy just walked off the stage and didn't finished
come back out. So Brandy posted a letter to the fans,
and she said, I sincerely apologized for the abrupt into
last night's performance in Chicago. After a few weeks of
non stop rehearsals, last night, I experienced dehydration and feeling
of wanting to think. Everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my
(21:51):
well being was the utmost importance. I still made the
decision to try and return and give them my all,
despite not feeling okay with having to make some adjustments
in the show. Being very tech, unfortunately, it was impossible
to fully connect sonically with the production.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
I really appreciate everyone's best effort.
Speaker 13 (22:06):
I'm deeply grateful to my sister Monica for stepping up
with such grace and professionalism, and the entire crew for
their continued support. I went from the arena to see
a doctor nearby, and I've taken the proper precautions to
help me moving forward. Your understanding patients and unwavering belief
in the belief, belief and mean the world to me.
I look forward to returning to the stage stronger and
(22:26):
more grateful than ever, alongside my girl Monica.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
Tonight in Indianapolis. So and that's what happened.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
They got back on the stage last night Sunday night
in Indianapolis and were able to get through the show.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
The crowd was able to hear the boy's mind. But
I mean it sounds like a little bit of both.
Speaker 13 (22:40):
Just to answer your question, like there were some technical
things going on, but she physically wasn't feeling okay.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Sure, and then you still couldn't tell you because she
was still bobbing and all that bombinga weaving and doing
a thing.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
And she sounded good.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
She always sounds great.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
But if it was the idration, did you see what
they be having on they do be performing like day outside,
like the big gass coats and they.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I'm like, yes, they got to take some of them
layers off.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
They be having air conditions and fans inside all of
those outfits.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I know, but it is it's people will be quick
to believe she was ready to line with me.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Now in some of those costumes, they do have fans
when they had to wear the head piece, but not
not those type of costumes. But my whole thing is
so you will find you were dehydrated on on Saturday
but then you perform on Sunday. No problem, that's I mean,
I do I get my money back, because if I
wanted to see the boy's mind, but it wasn't the
whole show. She did came shut up a queen, some queens, man, queen,
(23:52):
queen ben queen's motion, be queens, It's all right.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
The boy is still yours, the boy will always be.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
And the date this is the beginning of the tourist.
I know it's.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
But I do like the Ouphis though. They just looked
like they about to come in for Christmas. Though, you know,
like they have a lot.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
They're extra layered.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Hey, dropping the Kelly looked like it was summertime.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Absolutely, yep, she did. And she looked like she prepared.
She was prepared for it to be hot.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
That is the good of chocolate Goddess.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I do want cat with the shorts.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yes, no hat, but I know it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
No no, no, she did have had them, but she
took it off because she had the short ball under
the hat.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yes, she's right, she she ate that down.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Are they coming to New York? They got to. I'm
sure I want to see Kelly.
Speaker 13 (24:43):
Said them on tour though, because It's it's rough to
be doing all these dates back to back to back
because they're opening weekend.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
It was every single day they're opening weekends.

Speaker 7 (26:23):
Good morning, Envy, Jeff, Charla Magine, how y'all doing?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Black? And Holly Favorite? How are you? Mimi?
Speaker 15 (26:28):
Good?
Speaker 7 (26:28):
Thank you?
Speaker 9 (26:29):
So this morning, we start this hour with a case
out of Philadelphia that has been making national headlines. That's
where police believe they may have found the body of
a young woman who's been missing for more than two weeks.
A twenty three year old Kaita Scott was last seen
the night of October fourth, leaving her family's Germantown home
to head to her overnight shift at a nursing home.
(26:49):
She never made it home, and her car was later
found parked outside her job, but there was no trace
of her. Now police say Scott had told family she
was being harassed through her phone, and within days investigators
identified twenty three year old Keon King of Delaware as
a suspect. Now, King surrendered to police last week and
was charged with kidnapping, but Scott is still missing. And
(27:10):
then on Saturday, police announced a heartbreaking discovery. Human remains
were found in a shallow grave behind an abandoned middle school,
not far from where Scott disappeared. Now the Deputy Commissioner,
John Stanford says officers were led to the site after
receiving a very specific, anonymous tip on Friday night.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Now the remains appear to be about.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
A week old and have been sent to the medical
examiner for identification. At the community, they have been deeply
passionate about this case, searching daily, organizing on social media,
and at times yelling at police to do more. When
the remains were found, many gathered at the scene, frustrated
and emotional, saying officers should have done more, faster, and
(27:50):
sooner to help locate her. The investigators say they are
aware of the growing frustration and address the community's concerns.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Let's listen to that.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Listen.
Speaker 16 (27:59):
I am not a fit it by the passion that
you know, some of the you know, remarks that have
been made as we were walking back.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I'm not offended at all, because.
Speaker 16 (28:08):
That's people's emotion, and this is an emotional situation, and
so it's it's to be understood. However, I know what
we have done and in the amount of hours that
have been put into this process of trying to locate
miss Scott.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
Yeah, hopefully say the suspect in the case, twenty three
year old Keon King, could be tied to other killings.
And again, police have not officially confirmed the identity of
the remains, only that they were found in the same
area where miss Scott disappeared, and they have been focused
on that area for about two weeks.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
So people will continue to watch that.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Case I hate and despise humans like Keon King, Like
I really feel like you got to make examples out
of people who do things like this.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Man.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I mean, you know, I don't know what happened to
the young lady, the details of it, but clearly she
got you know, killed, and then you just disregard her
body like it's nothing, like you know what I mean,
Like I just don't even understand how people like that.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Operate, Like, I mean, how do you do that? And
then just go get a sandwich app? You know what
I'm saying?
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Like how exactly?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
So we will continue to watch that he's already been
found guilty of kidnapping her, and so once the medical
examiner does their job and they come back with the results,
we will definitely bring those to you guys.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
People like that, people like that don't ever deserve peace.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I hope that you know that young lady haunts him
for the rest of his life.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Absolutely so young too, all right, Well, from tragedy in
Philadelphia to high drama overseas, a story straight out of
a movie unfolding at the Louver in Paris. Now French
officials they say a team of four thieves they pulled
off a daring daytime heights at the Louver Museum in
Paris on Sunday, stealing royal jews, jewels once worn by
(29:50):
the Queen of France and other royal officials.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
The investigators say.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
The group arrived with power tools, a crane lift and
a getaway planned straight out of a heist film. So
they smash display cases from one of the museum's crown
jewel galleries.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
They threatened guards.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
They sped off on scooters, dropping some of the stolen
jewels along the way, including a crown that police later
recovered nearby. Now the seven minute break in, it happened
just as the museum opened at seven point thirty in
the morning, and officials say the thieves they use a
truck mounted crane to break in through the first window
first floor window, and they believe the group had scoped
out the site long before the robbery. Before fleeing, they
(30:28):
reportedly tried to set the crane on fire to destroy evidence.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Now, the stolen collection what they got away with.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Includes necklaces, earrings, tiaras once worn by members of the
French royal courts, treasures that officials describe as priceless. No
one was hurt, but the museum was evacuated and closed
for the rest of the day. And to put this
in context, the Louver is home to the Mona Lisa
and some of the world's most valuable arts.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I don't understand. I mean, they've tried before. The security
should be top notched, Like, there's no way that anybody
should be stealing those jewels and some of those pieces
them art, the facts that they have in there, that
that that doesn't even seem right. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Congratulations of those guys, man, that's impressive. That's a whole
little mini series right there.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
If I were to continued stealing out have probably been
on that level by now.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
They're smart for them to get that off and broad daylight.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I mean, come on, now, sometimes you gotta let people
get away with things just based off the degree of difficulty,
you know what, I mean, what do you do with it?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Because you can't sell it?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Who can?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Who can different sell it?
Speaker 10 (31:34):
Man?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Listen, they'll find that fast.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Get rich off of that stuff.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Trust me, they got a plan.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I gotta they probably got a biometic.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
They thought they thought this all the way through, you know,
I mean, listen, I don't believe in stealing, but when
they do stealing, it's impressive. At this level, you gotta
give it up for sometimes you gotta give a little
roud of applause, like wow, that was impressive thought that,
you know, like all right.
Speaker 17 (31:58):
Y'all, well that.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
It is impressive.
Speaker 13 (32:07):
But you know, we gonna say it's still wrong, so
you just see what happens.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Definitely wrong. It's definitely wrong.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
So we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 9 (32:15):
They they said that there are cameras all over and
so they expect an arrest soon.
Speaker 7 (32:19):

indeed we got Gucci mane. Thank you, wife, Welcome, how
y'all feeling, y'all look amazing, thank you new book out episodes.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yes, Man, I thoroughly enjoyed your book, Gucci Man, because
you know, we give people props when we were younger
for being real and a lot of things that we
say is real. It's like when somebody gangster with somebody,
you know, we call them tough. But to me, the
most realist thing you could do as you get older
just be vulnerable, you know what I mean, and go
on to.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Journey of healing and share that journey with people. And
you definitely did that in this book.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Thank you. I appreciate that I always see you talking
about mental health while be listening to y'all. You always
championing mental health, you know what I'm saying. So that's
my I said, make sure y'all get that book to
Charlota Magne before I come up there.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Absolutely I knew he was gonna read it. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So what got you to the point where he said,
this is the time to share the story because most
people will say, like, you know, I don't want to
share that story. It might be embarrassing, it might make
me look this way, but you were open and completely
open about it. What got you to that point was like, this.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Is the time I had when I had an episode
on like twenty nineteen or twenty twenty round COVID, and
that was just like after that, I was like, man,
I gotta really just hold myself accountable and take care
of my health. I don't never want to have an
episode again. I'm like, I'm gonna see a therapist. If
I had to take medicine, I just I kind of
like through the towelnd like, you know what I need
to do to get better. I just did never want
(34:13):
to have that happen again. And then my wife was
pregnant with my little boy, and I'm like, I don't
never want to I don't want to raise a family.
And then my mental health gone with. If I have
an episode, I can't come back from you know what
I'm saying. So I just like starting to do the
work and like start seeking the help.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Keisha, I'm glad you here because we always have conversations
about the people who have to deal with the individuals
with the mental mental health issues.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
It feels like nobody else speaks to y'all.
Speaker 17 (34:40):
It's tough.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
What what made you not run?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Because you could have ran, You could have been like,
I'm not this ain't for me, but you still ten
toes down and say I'm gone.
Speaker 18 (34:49):
I experienced him going through episodes before we were married,
and I was like, man, somebody gotta help this guy.
Speaker 17 (34:56):
It was really, really bad. It's really sad.
Speaker 18 (34:58):
Because you're seeing some when you don't know they're saying
things to you that are disrespectful, so mean, and you
have to just like, but I'm not talking to Gucci,
who is this person? So I felt like if I left,
he wouldn't have been the same. He needed someone to
help him. And then when we were supposed to get married,
someone said to me, you know you're going to have
(35:19):
to deal with this through your marriage, right, And I'm like,
I'm cool with it.
Speaker 17 (35:22):
I'm going to fix him.
Speaker 13 (35:23):
You know how heavy was that for you? Though, because
the fixing isn't like an overnight thing. I saw Gucci
you did a big facts and you were talking about
how one time you said to him, I should record
this so that you can see because he wouldn't even
remember some of the things he was doing, but it
would like you'd be like, oh my god, like what's
happening right now? How heavy was it in the process
of trying to help him get back.
Speaker 18 (35:43):
It was one point I had to just go on
my knees and pray because it's like he's like I
don't like you. I mean, the things he would say
are really really bad, and I just have to like
take a deep breath. Like I said, I'm not talking
to you right now. You want to sit here and
be crazy alone, I'm not going to allow you.
Speaker 17 (35:59):
To be crazy alone. So like I have to like
set a plan up.
Speaker 18 (36:04):
Like at one point, I called his attorney, I called
some bodyguards, and I just planned a whole kidnap and
we kidnapped him and took him to the hospital because
we could not get him to the hospital. But he
was trying to fight them and everything, but it was
six of them. He couldn't handle it, and we threw
him in the car. He would try to jump out
the car, so we put him in the center of
the car, you know, And that was like his last
(36:25):
episode when you go to the Yeah, but they try
to do things where he could sign himself out and
I'm like, he's not signed, Like I'm stern with him.
He's not signing himself out. I'm his wife and I'm
his far of attorney. He ain't going nowhere Like.
Speaker 17 (36:41):
I have to be strict. It's kind of like you
have to go in mother mode, you know, and put
your foot down.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Were you ever scared?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
I wasn't never.
Speaker 18 (36:49):
Scared he would hurt me. People were scared for me.
But it's a scary moment.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
As I asked her that was she scared, she was like,
I'm not scared of you.
Speaker 17 (36:58):
I tell him all the time during it, I'm not
scared you.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
So you we gonna figure this out, like I have
to get gangsterill with him because he and I'm like,
all right, we gonna see.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Let's do this.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
And the ice Cream Fever Dreams Chapter guc You said
that the only you said when you need help, the
only person you can rely on is yourself.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yes, Why did you feel that way in that moment?
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Because that's how I felt, especially like you're really the
only person you can Like, you gotta do the work yourself.
You know what I'm saying. If you want to like
really get better, people can want it for you. But
you still gotta want it more than they do. You
know what I'm saying. You gotta want, you gotta do
the work, you gotta live with it, you know what
I'm saying. So that's probably why I said that.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
The reason I asked is because you start the book
off talking about Big Scar, and you know you and
Ke should definitely help Big Scar in that moment when
he was having an episode.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yes, I mean you did help somebody.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
I was trying my best to say Scar. I'll try
my best to say Scar, and like even he was
a big inspiration for the book as well. But what
was like when I reached out to my right the
co writer Cat and writing a book. I was telling
her about you know, like how hw I helped Scott
and you know, my wife was talking to me, but
she was on like I wouldn't even let Scott know
that she was telling me the stuff to tell him
(38:08):
it like while we're writing a book, like discussing the
book and just going over how we're gonna make it.
Scott died, so I hear her like you know, Scott
had passed away. It was all it went for him
being an inspiration. Before I can finish the book he
passed away. So that was just super deep and then
made me like, I gotta do this. I gotta even
be more vulnerable because I'm gonna help people that I
don't even know I was, because I was trying to
help somebody who was so close to me, you know
(38:28):
what I'm saying. And I didn't even and I didn't succeed.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know when you break down in the book that
September thirteenth episode, right, Yeah, and you said you don't
even remember a lot of the things that you said.
Did you have to go back and say, you know what,
let me fix some of those situations? Yes? And who
did you called first to say let me fix that?
Cause we were on there that morning and we just remembers,
like damn, Gucci just going crazy on everybody and the
sad week, and the sad thing about it is for
(38:55):
media pressed, it's like that's gold at first, like oh
this that, and the other day when you sit back
and look at to be like damn, like maybe we
shouldn't have went that hard and promoted because we can
see now that he was going through episode So.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
About the media's role in that, Yeah, But the answer envy,
I was super embarrassed and hurt by the things I
said because like I wasn't well then, right, So then
I got locked up. So a lot of those people
who I was saying stuff too, they were like, I ain't.
They never gonna mess with me no more. So even
when I got out three years later, I still was like,
I apologize to Ross, Drake, Nikki like all them. People
(39:29):
accept my apologies. They just don't know. It's like a
weight off my shoulders because I had been like because
I was wrong, Like Ross hadn't did nothing but helped me,
you know what I'm saying. And I said something about him,
Burt Man that all this stuff for me, Why would
I say something about him? So I felt bad, you
know what I'm saying. I felt terribly bad, and it
was just eat me. It was like it was super
heavy on me, you know what I'm saying. So I
apologize to everybody. Everybody that would have scept my apology
(39:52):
that I apologized, everybody who would acept my call. I
apologize to you. Just think anybody who I was dissing,
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
When you see artists doing that, now, do you know
exactly what they're going through?
Speaker 6 (40:03):
Yes, we were like since it's going through episode. I
can see it because because I'd have been through it,
and I'm like, I be feeling sorry for him, you
know what I'm saying. But because I see the media,
they just go with it like this person like mad
or they being you know, like mean or whatever. But
they be like going through something really mental. It'd be
some mental help stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Do you reach out to any of those artists I'm.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
Trying to think, did I reach out now? I don't
do a lot of reaching out because some of them,
like I feel like they wouldn't be accepting of it,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
But because you know, you wouldn't be accepted at the
point at that.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
Time, Yeah, at that point you can't. You can't really
talk to them like that. But like my wife said,
I wish I could talk to the people that know
them to tell them how to help them, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (40:43):
I tried to reach out to Kim when Kanye was
going through an episode. It bothered me so much, but
I don't know her and I didn't want.
Speaker 17 (40:50):
To feel like a groupie.
Speaker 18 (40:51):
Yeah, so I tried to send messages to people. I
never succeeded. But this was during their marriage. I'm like, damn,
I want to talk to her so bad, like I
can help you, but I never was successful.
Speaker 13 (41:01):
We talked about that on air the other day because
she sat down with her daddy and talked about what
it was like on the inside by also trying to
protect their public image in the way she thought people
would look at her if she decided to leave.
Speaker 8 (41:13):
For you, what was it like, I mean could talk
about Kim.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
What was it like?
Speaker 13 (41:17):
Just trying to protect the business that you guys have built. Wow,
I have a personally. I take his apps off his phone.
Speaker 17 (41:24):
First thing I do.
Speaker 18 (41:24):
I delete Instagram, I delete everything. Even if I got
to change his password, I'm changing it because I don't
need the public to know he's having an episode. And
now before the episodes come, I catch it. So that's
why he hasn't had another one. And how you catch
that is he doesn't speak to you, he wants to
be left alone. He don't eat, he does not sleep.
Text messages there's a period after each word, and I'm like,
(41:49):
you're going through an episode.
Speaker 17 (41:50):
You're sick. No, I'm not, ain't and wrong with me?
Speaker 18 (41:53):
Why do you think that you're not speaking to me, well,
there's nothing to talk about.
Speaker 17 (41:56):
I said, well, that's not how you speak to your wife.
And I'm like, you're sick and we snap out of
it right then?
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Wow, wow, Keisha, do you wish you around? When you
know I look at Gucci and if you really think
about all the artists that he has touched and could
have signed, he could have been bigger than any label
out there. If you go through them. We can go
from from Thug to Waka, to the Migos to the list.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Goes on and on and on. Do you think we
had Walker Wago?
Speaker 14 (42:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Do you think if I was there I could have
helped him build that empire because he could have been
really like an Atlanta death Chain.
Speaker 18 (42:28):
A thousand person even like we had this conversation many
years ago. I said, Gucci, you just have to accept
that you are not well and fix it.
Speaker 17 (42:36):
Just accept it. I said, people take tal n all
every day.
Speaker 18 (42:39):
Just take your medication every day.
Speaker 17 (42:41):
You'll be fine.
Speaker 18 (42:42):
Just accept that you're sick, fix it and you'll be okay.
And absolutely, he had so many artists from back in
the day, and because of this, you know, they re
signed with other people or whatever the situation is. And
it pisses me off because none of them respects him.
I don't or give him the credit like Gucci's me.
Gucci's the one that got me out the slum. Gucci's
the one that changed my life. None of them talks
(43:04):
about that, not.
Speaker 17 (43:05):
One of them.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
It's that ball because it's it's a lot of artists
that are multi platinum that are still selling records that
you were the first person to give an opportunity to.
We can name a listen if the list goes on
and on.
Speaker 6 (43:16):
I feel like, you know, I had to hold myself accountable.
I got locked up. I messed up the opportunity, you
know what I'm saying. But I'm not saying that they
don't have to pay me how much I appreciate it,
you know what I'm saying. But it's like that's part
of how I was raised, Just who I am. I
get fulfillment out of hipping artists, you know what I'm saying.
I was reaching met out to them, trying to help
them because I saw talent in them and not just
Southern artists, not just Southern artists, DJ whatever. That's just
(43:39):
like who I am, you know what I'm saying, Like
I'm an open door studio. I'm gonna bring people in.
I'm gonna work with the up and coming. That's what
I like to do. You get what I'm saying. If
it didn't work out the way it did because I
got locked up, I got to say, Hey, I got
myself locked up. You know, I messed that up. But
since then, I've been doing I've been doing well. Since
I got out, I've been on it, you know what
I'm saying, been a whole different. Everything been going good.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
I always wondered, did any of those artists reach out
when you were locked up and said, let me help?
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Damn, let me say this.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Though she said nope, let me say this.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
It is still kind of like paying it forward because
when I got an all those artists did come back
and do songs with me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
But when you down, did they help?
Speaker 6 (44:14):
They didn't.
Speaker 17 (44:16):
They don't acknowledge him.
Speaker 18 (44:17):
He doesn't care or feel that way, but from the
outside looking in, they should acknowledge him.
Speaker 17 (44:23):
You know, I feel like.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
Gucci gets looked at as a hip hop pillar, though
I feel like he's like, look, I feel like Gucci.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Gets just do as an iconic figure. And hip hop
and all the artists he put on No but.
Speaker 18 (44:36):
Would you like to see Key like I would like them,
all of them to acknowledge him, even if they win
an award. Acknowledge him because he gave you the stomping ground.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Most people don't know Nicki Minaj came out of that
camp French Montana. Half those people we know, but most
people don't know that. Migosgosuff like most.
Speaker 17 (44:56):
People because they don't say it.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
I love loved the chapter Pills and posting too, because
you said you feel guilty for making the song Pills,
because you made a whole generation start getting high on pills.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
How do you rectify that guilt.
Speaker 6 (45:12):
I can live with it now because it's like it
is the what it is, you know what I'm saying.
But back then, I know that I like made a
lot of people use drugs. I talked about drugs, drugs, drugs,
drugs all through my music because that's what I was
on back then. And I'm just like, damn, I know
I made a whole bunch of people think pills was cool.
I know that for a fact. You know what I'm saying,
and that ain't nothing. I'm just super proud of you know,
but what can I do? It's in the past now.
(45:32):
And at the same time it was I was also
a user too, so I was going through.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
It with them. The interesting thing about that chapter two,
you said that your whole team didn't like that song.
Speaker 6 (45:42):
They didn't.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
I'm old because I'm sure some of them was on
pills too, So what was it just they didn't.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
Like when I first, like even when I had like
one foot then one foot out. A lot of my
guys who were hustling. We used to think I would like,
my crew are hustling, but it's they just think like
pills and stuff like that was like jacket stuff, you
know what I'm saying. They thinking like, if you do coke,
eat like a jacket, you take pills, you're a jackie.
They all that was cool with with smoking weed, even
taking a dragon lane. They thought it was some jagging stuff, right,
(46:06):
So they really they said, take away from the money,
you see what I'm saying. So it's like, if you're
doing if you're taking pills, you supposed to be selling
the pills. So when I came out with pills, they
went with that. They was like, bro, what you making
a song? About taking pills for me. Then the song
ended up blowing up, but there was like they didn't
like the song.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Yeap when you did versus? Right, what was your mind
framed during versus and Keisha when he you knew he
was doing versus against somebody that was his arch enemy
at the time, right, what was your mind frame because
you knew at any moment it could have went back.
Speaker 8 (46:36):
Did you want him to do it?
Speaker 17 (46:37):
I told him not to.
Speaker 18 (46:39):
I said, you're not doing that. I said, I will
pay you a million dollars not to do this.
Speaker 6 (46:43):
She told me that it'swear to God. Like I tell
you a million dollars not to do the verses. I'm like,
I'm gonna do the verses.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
So how for people that don't know, how did that
verses come about? And what was your mind to do
the souls that you did in that moment, because I mean,
I think everybody felt it. People that were they were.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Like, oh, this is gonna end up nasty.
Speaker 6 (47:03):
Well, I'm trying to think. I heard I seen the
interview what Jesus saying like if I do it versus,
I want to do it with Gucci.
Speaker 10 (47:10):
Right.
Speaker 6 (47:11):
So after that he had hit me like bro you
heard Jesus say he wanted to do a verse with you,
would you do it? And I was like, I don't
know if I do that. I don't know if I
want to do no verse. I ain't really really yet.
Then he came back like, bro, I think this would
be big if you do it. So next thing, you know,
Swiss and Larry Jackson end up hearing me and we
end up doing We're gonna do the verses right, And
my mind frame going into it was like it's going
(47:32):
it was. I was excited about it, like because all
the previous verses were so big. So I'm like, man,
it's dope. You know what I'm saying. It's gonna be
big for me. Everybody gonna be like my catalog gonna
go up, people gonna just so I was looking and
I was excited about it.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
And when oh, actually Gesz said, he said here on
Breakfast Club, he wanted to do it with you, but
you turned it down.
Speaker 19 (47:52):
I mean, I mean to be honest with you, like
from what I hear he did respectfully the client, which
I respect. You know what I'm saying, no, no disrespect,
And you know, I guess he looked the way I
look at it just like yo, bro, like, ain't nobody
else they want to see us with and for once,
at least mentally it can be about the music and
you know, instead of it just being me and him
(48:14):
and our personal feelings. Is like, now you got the
world watching. So as a man, I wasn't gonna not
do it because of what happened, because that's what the
platform was for.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
That's what that conversation was that was back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (48:27):
I don't think I turned it down. I don't think
I think I turned out during Versus period, but I
was open to do the verses when they finally broke
it down to me, like okay, just the business about it,
this going, all this good can come out of it,
and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
Did y'all think it was KESHI? You didn't want to
do it because you knew he could potentially have an
episode of.
Speaker 17 (48:44):
No, I just don't trust it. I don't know.
Speaker 18 (48:47):
God forbid GC go say the wrong thing and things
pop off.
Speaker 17 (48:52):
I ain't got the time.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
WI were you when he was doing Versus?
Speaker 17 (48:54):
I was pregnant at home.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
No, he didn't want me there, So you were watching it.
Speaker 18 (48:58):
My hands was wet and I'm nervous. I'm like, Lord,
Jesus helped me.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
He did that song. What were you thinking when he
did that song? What do you think that that song?
Speaker 2 (49:06):
Like?
Speaker 18 (49:06):
Oh my, I'm just like this, like every like any
normal person. I'm in the bed watching it like everybody else, scared.
Speaker 13 (49:13):
And Jesus you said you were lucky that Sorry, sorry, sorry,
Gucci you said that you were happy that Jeez took
the moment to kind of like kind of shift the energy.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
I would say, in hindsight, I'm like, I respect the
what he did, what he said, you know what I'm saying,
And uh, you know what he said made sense, you
know what I'm saying. But at that moment, in the moment,
like he's at the moment, I was thinking, like I'm
happy he said that. The moment, I was just like, man,
what is he talking about? You know what I'm saying,
Let's get on to the what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
I ain't.
Speaker 6 (49:43):
But when I look back on and I'm like, that
was smart. You know what I'm saying. That was smart
and it was deep.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
Did y'all speak before y'all did diversity person y'all just
speak before here. How was that conversation with that the
first time y'all spoke throughout the years.
Speaker 6 (49:55):
Of Man One. It was funny because we seen it,
y'a on the airplane, right. He was sitting in my seat.
That's the crazy y'all. He's sitting in my seat, right,
So I'm like, damn, I don't even want to talk
to him, but I got to tell this dude.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
Get out of my seat.
Speaker 6 (50:10):
So it like, I'm like, hey, man, you see you
gotta get out of my seat. But he see who
it is. He like, well, I'm sitting in the same seat.
Can't you sit in mine? Like, nah, I can't sit
in your seat. You just got to get up. There
was the conversation we had.
Speaker 19 (50:23):
If anybody else you probably be like, God, go ahead,
I got you got.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
To get up. You got to get up.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
And he don't want to get up.
Speaker 6 (50:29):
I can't cause I can't. My probably won't let me
say that you're in my seat, and I just okay,
I'm gonna sit over here. Yeah, no, dog, get up.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Won't allow him to be like man Man told me
to get.
Speaker 6 (50:38):
Up, and he got up and moved.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
He got up and move.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
That's funny because I remember fifty John said the first
time they see each other was on a flight. They
were both it's like you can't wild out there, so
you gotta be easy.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
But No, in your first book, you said, y'all had
dinner somewhere before.
Speaker 6 (50:54):
No, we we we met up at a restaurant. YEP,
so we had met before. But I'm saying this sin
is how I got out. That was like we met
at that restaurant way way back, that was like twenty
ten or like that.
Speaker 8 (51:07):
What is it like now?
Speaker 13 (51:08):
Like have you guys spoken sense versus and you know,
both of y'all are so evolved at this point.
Speaker 6 (51:13):
I did an interview on Big Fast and I'm like,
it ain't really been no disrespect since then. Everybody everything cool,
but you know they were okay.
Speaker 8 (51:19):
I saw you say that.
Speaker 13 (51:20):
Going to East Atlanta sometimes like triggers different episodes for
you and you can talk about that.
Speaker 17 (51:26):
Were you about to say something.
Speaker 6 (51:27):
No, say it does trigger me going to Eastern Lima.
Speaker 8 (51:29):
What in writing this.
Speaker 13 (51:30):
Book, what other things from your upbringing did you realize, like, oh,
that was one of my triggers of these episodes and
I didn't even know, like family stuff or just you know,
stuff from like.
Speaker 6 (51:38):
Young Yeah, like uh, stuff with my mom triggers me. Uh,
we had a lot of screen relationship. Uh stuff for
my youth triggered me. You know, old friendships you know
that went sour. There's a lot of stuff can be triggered.
Speaker 3 (51:55):
I get.
Speaker 6 (51:55):
You know, some songs even trigger me, you know, just
from like you said, like screen relationships, like even here
so icy. I don't like hearing so icy.
Speaker 3 (52:03):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (52:04):
You know it's kind of like a trigger. State scrapped
would be a trigger, you know what I'm saying, Hearing
that like I got ten K on your body, like
the wis side probably couldn't have took that, you know,
like that would have triggered me.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
You don't do those songs.
Speaker 6 (52:16):
You don't do them songs.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
What trick is you?
Speaker 12 (52:18):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (52:18):
East land On? What is it? Burma? Alabama?
Speaker 6 (52:24):
I would say East Atlanta, but I don't want to.
I don't want to. Besma kind of depresses me because
it's like when you go down there, it's so like
it's like damn. You know what I'm saying. It's it's
like damn, it's it's a tough place to grow up at.
And when I go back. There's like it dawn to
make me cry just looking at the buildings and that
because you're from a small town like I'm from. It's
(52:46):
so small and rural and like you know, it's there's
no money down there, you know what I'm saying. So
it just looked it feels dark. East Atlanta is just dangerous.
It's still dangerous. Is always gonna be dan it just
when I go there, just make me try. It made
me like I just it. I almost turned to a
different person, like the coners, the blocks, just I just
(53:07):
just reliving all the stuff I did on those blocks,
you know, the people there. It's just I try to
stay away from trickles.
Speaker 3 (53:15):
And you say, you're even reading the book and seeing
the effects that like systemic racism had on you, Like
watching the KKK, you know, March to Your Time?
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Is that still a trigger?
Speaker 6 (53:24):
It kind of is?
Speaker 2 (53:25):
It is?
Speaker 16 (53:27):
It is?
Speaker 6 (53:28):
I still like hold some of that stuff in me,
you know what I'm saying that I seen when I
was young from best one. That's why I kept my
label ten seventeen because I'm like, I don't never want
to forget. Even though I was raised in Atlanta, people
always associate me with Atlanta. I never want to forget,
you know, the life I led there, and I never
want to forget like my family then what they going through.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
You said during the Big Facts interview that the police
you feel like they still have it out for you
in Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (53:53):
I feel like they did they did back when I
first got I feel like because they used to do
stuff like you know what I'm saying, Like I would
be when I first had got out of jail. I
would go places and the police would just run my name,
you know what I'm saying. And then I was on probation,
So my probation, but I was like, hey, did you
go to such and such because the police ran your
name and there, like they were just trying to see
if I get They just they just it's just too much.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
So what do you tell artists like your thugs and
your little babies that probably feel the same way as you,
You say it might be time to get tout Atalanta.
Speaker 6 (54:21):
I told the baby that I've been told the baby,
hey man, he might be too big for the city,
might need to move, you know what I'm saying. I
never got a chance to tell a thud that, but
I definitely told baby that before.
Speaker 13 (54:29):
Because he used to be there, the baby used to
be there, just walking around like regularly, like grocery stores
and everything.
Speaker 6 (54:34):
Because he's so comfortable. I got to comfort that, like
even time I went. If I'm in Atlanta and I
have an episode, I go straight to my block because
I know that block like the back of my hand.
I'm always like, I always go there. It's just like
the for me, it's like it's two for me for me,
you know what I'm saying, It's two for me. Sometimes
something too for me for you. You got to get
away from that because it's too much comfort them. It
(54:55):
ain't no growth in comfort. I need to be well,
like I'm held the count of plan you can get
held account of if I go to these lane coming,
we coming. All I got to do is just stand
on the block.
Speaker 3 (55:05):
I want to ask you, Keisha, how do you how
do you define recovery? Because you're seeing him matters worse
and now you're seeing him at his best, So how
would you define recovery for somebody that is dealing with
somebody who's trying to recover from their mental health issues.
Speaker 17 (55:18):
The first thing you need is medication.
Speaker 18 (55:20):
You cannot it cannot go on medicated, and the quicker
the better, because once they're medicated, they usually get better
in like two weeks. It's not it's not overnight. It's
literally like fourteen days for them to.
Speaker 17 (55:34):
Be back to normal.
Speaker 18 (55:35):
So for him, like let's say he started his medication
after an episode, he started his medication today, right three
days later, he'd be like, oh, my wife, you're so beautiful.
I could tell by his words that he's getting better.
And then tomorrow he might say who, and I'm like, oh,
he's not better yet.
Speaker 17 (55:52):
Like I could just tell by his tone.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
Who do you talk to?
Speaker 7 (55:55):
Keish?
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Like, who do you have a therapist?
Speaker 17 (55:57):
No, I'm the therapist. He'll tell you.
Speaker 18 (56:02):
I'm like a real therapist. I know how to speak
to him. You have to speak calm, you cannot scream.
Sometimes you have to agree with what he's saying. Like
he'll say give me five hundred grand and I'm like, okay,
I don't do it.
Speaker 17 (56:14):
But I say okay, whatever he asks for, I say yes,
but I don't do it. But you can't go against them.
Speaker 18 (56:20):
So he'll text somebody and cuss them out, and I'll
go back to his phone and I'll say block him
he's having an episode, so I just I'm just a
clean up lady.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
I hate this.
Speaker 6 (56:29):
I gotta say this. Remember Julia Greenwall used to be
the head of Atlanta. I had an episode and said
so much bad stud of Judah.
Speaker 2 (56:36):
I said that.
Speaker 6 (56:37):
When I came from I said, listen, Julu, Now, if
I text you anything crazy, block me for block me,
and I don't call me for two days and call
my wife because this episode comes because I ain't want
to lose my position as label going through episode. And
I'm like, if you just see, like, if you see
like the text is getting crazy, just block me because
(56:57):
I don't want to come tell you. I start saying
stuff so bad.
Speaker 2 (57:00):
It's like you can't come back Fromhimuci, We've seen it before, Gucci. Yeah,
but how do you protect your peace though?
Speaker 14 (57:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (57:09):
Like you, because there has to be times where you
feel like the walls are just caving in because it's
so much and it's so personal for you.
Speaker 18 (57:15):
Honestly, I during the moment, I'm kind of like stressed out.
Speaker 17 (57:20):
I'm a prayer warrior.
Speaker 18 (57:21):
I just pray, and once he starts getting better, honestly,
I'm okay. And he doesn't stay sick long like I said,
it takes fourteen days to get him back, and after
like day three, he's already come into his senses. But
those deep episodes won't happen ever. Again, we're in twenty five,
(57:41):
so the last one was five years ago. He had
a mild one coming maybe two years ago, and I
caught it. So now I catch them before they come,
and like people be saying stuff about him, like, oh,
he's sawft, he's thisy that the madman is still there.
So I try my best. I don't want them to
provoke him because it will come back. Yeah, and he's
very dangerous, So y'all listen, please leave him alone because
(58:05):
the mad Max.
Speaker 17 (58:06):
Is still in the head.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
When I when I saw young thugs say that, I
was just like, man, you know thug is just young, Yeah,
ain't he's just grown grown.
Speaker 13 (58:16):
I thought it was hearing you talk about why you
called young thugs so quick when he dropped the miss
my dogs because you understood what that apology like you
were there. I thought that was like, really, it was
really great to hear. What was y'all conversation?
Speaker 5 (58:28):
Like I didn't call him, I just forget I just
him saying I forgive Oh so y'all didn't actually never talk.
Oh wow, so he found out you forgive him on
that interview.
Speaker 1 (58:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (58:37):
Has he reached out to you since the interview?
Speaker 6 (58:39):
To be honest, he was like he hit me, like
let's let's let's talk. But I didn't really want to talk.
But I do forgive him. I just didn't want to talk.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Yeah, I understand. I'm the saying where I can forgive you,
but still there's certain times I just I just don't need.
Speaker 18 (58:54):
That time.
Speaker 1 (58:55):
Do you mind being the OGI? And the reason I
say that is is you look at it and you
see everything that Atlanta is going through. Gucci is that
one person that can stop it? Or I think because
every artist in Atlanta respects you, do you do you
mind that that label as the OGI that can do that?
Or you just say, you know what I do?
Speaker 6 (59:13):
You know what I'm saying, Like I've been in the
game twenty years from now, so like I embraced that.
You know, I'm not the high artists trying to drop off,
you know, the hottest single every year and do all that.
You know, I want to be the person that they
can come to and talk to.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
Would you want to do that with everything that's going
on in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (59:29):
I would. I would.
Speaker 6 (59:31):
I feel like if they would come to me, but
they don't want to come. I feel like people don't
come to me for advice because it's like even with
my own artists, it's like a lot of them, you know,
don't come to me because it's like talking to your dad.
I ain't got nothing but positive to say. I'm trying
to lead by example and I'm gonna tell you, like
you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't. So they don't even
want to talk to me.
Speaker 1 (59:48):
They would, they'd love to talk to old Gucci, want to.
Speaker 6 (59:51):
I want to talk to Guca. Ain't really gotten that
going on. He go to sleep at eight thirty, Like
you know, not.
Speaker 2 (59:57):
What emotional release did? Did writing this book give you
that music?
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
Because so I'm more proud of this book than I'm
probably in the album I ever put out, because, like
you said, it's kind of like talking about stuff that
I used to be kind of like I had a
stigma of you know what I'm saying, you got mental health?
You crazy. It's like I used to be embarrassed about
some of these situations, and I didn't used to want
to talk about it. But now I'm confident in talking
about it because I know that I can help somebody else.
(01:00:20):
And it's like I don't even feel I don't feel
no shame no more.
Speaker 13 (01:00:25):
And the conversations that you've been having recently, you know,
have you begin to help people in that space where
you're like, yo, I.
Speaker 6 (01:00:31):
Did it, like everybody people. I did a book signing
in Atlanta and a lot of folks are coming up
to me saying, hey, you know, thank you for this book.
I've been sober eight years, or thank you for this book.
You know I got bipolar. Thank you for this book,
my friend. You know what I'm saying, be going through
episodes like I was getting a lot of it, and
it felt good to feel that love. You know what
I'm saying, It really did.
Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Are you still surprised about the love? I heard you
say something. You were in Miami do the book Sartning
and you were surprised about that. How many people came
up to me and asked for an autograph for your book.
But then I'm thinking about it, I'm like, you just
did South Carolina Cone coming that with so loud.
Speaker 6 (01:01:03):
You just did this show that was so loud, so
like it's different when they come up like with that book.
I don't know why, but it's like the book signing
saying when they saying about your book, you know, I've
been rocking with you, said I was in junior high.
You know, you got me through college. Like it just
the energy, it was like it made me feel good.
I ain't felt that in a long time, you know,
like touching the people, shaking their hand, taking the selfie
(01:01:25):
with them. It's like when you do that at about
two three hundred people and they're telling you that you
can't do nothing but feel good.
Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
That's what I'm said. You're like a mythical figure into
a whole generation. You got sexy Red calling yourself the
female Gucci man. South Carolina State, them kids asked for you. Yeah,
like I've seen the list. I'm like, I don't even
know who that is. It was about five. I'm like,
I don't know who these people are, but they're like, oh,
Gucci man, I know Gucci, Like they wanted you at
South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
How did that make you feel on the whole generation?
And how that feel good?
Speaker 6 (01:01:53):
I feel good when I go through this. I've been
doing a lot of college. I do Norfolk State on Tuesday,
but every time I go to the college in there,
like the kids know all the words. You know what
I'm saying. The nineteen years old like, bro, you still
touching people nineteen years old? They know this song. They
singing songs that came out of two thousand and five,
two thousand and sixs how old were out there? So
that feel good?
Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
I make you feel keys you when you see Sexy
Red callsself the female Gucci, I love it.
Speaker 18 (01:02:17):
I love when younger artists pay homage to him, like
I be in the background, like when people don't pay
homage to him or true respect, I be mad.
Speaker 17 (01:02:27):
He don't get mad or whatever.
Speaker 18 (01:02:29):
But I watch everything online and I analyze it, and
if anybody go against him, I'm going against them too.
Speaker 13 (01:02:36):
I was going to ask does the book because you said,
you know, seeing people come up to you with the book,
it's like a great feeling for you.
Speaker 8 (01:02:43):
Does the book make you feel like a superhero versus
like music didn't?
Speaker 13 (01:02:47):
Because we talked about like our og like rappers being
like superhero sis, which a lot of people I feel
like they look at you that way.
Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
I'm super proud of being the author. You know what
I'm saying. I read a lot of books.
Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
I read.
Speaker 6 (01:02:56):
People just don't know it about me, But I read
a ton of books. You know what I'm saying. I
probably read two three books a month.
Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
You know what I'm saying, Big Malcolm glad Wolf, a huge.
Speaker 6 (01:03:07):
Big mocol Glad Weell fan. You know what I'm saying.
He just did a book frange at the type of
point that I read that I love. You know, but
I'm proud of being an author because I love books
and so it's like it's a different thing to being
a rapper. You know what I'm saying. I want to
make some more books. I like being a prolific author.
I'm trying to have more books than Charlemagne. Yeah, I
got three yet I want to see write a book.
Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
I really do, because I'm telling you, people who have
to deal with those of us with mental health issues
don't tell their stories enough.
Speaker 18 (01:03:38):
Yeah, I think it's harder being me than him going
through an episode because it's scary, like like we had
a condo when we were on like the Penthouse, and
I'm like, is he gonna jump?
Speaker 17 (01:03:49):
Is the voice gonna tell him to jump?
Speaker 18 (01:03:52):
Like that's the scary part, not me being scared of
him hurting me so like during episodes, I make sure
no one is around him with guns, knives, high buildings.
But he wouldn't leave that. That's where I had to
kidnap him from. He would not leave there. He wouldn't
come to the house. And I'm like, I had to
get like a babysitter for him because he hated me
different episodes. He hate different people that if you have
(01:04:13):
an episode where he hates me, that's a problem.
Speaker 17 (01:04:17):
He hated me. He wouldn't come home.
Speaker 18 (01:04:19):
He got the damn balcony, and I'm like, is the
voice gonna tell him? I can't sleep at night?
Speaker 17 (01:04:23):
I have to what is he doing?
Speaker 18 (01:04:24):
Now?
Speaker 17 (01:04:25):
Did he eat today?
Speaker 18 (01:04:26):
Like I have to play games with his friends from
Atlanta who he want to be with. And and then
I'm like, don't give him any wee throw it in
the garbage.
Speaker 17 (01:04:33):
They called me back. Oh he needs beat. I gave
him weet today. I said, no, you didn't, you know,
like stuff like that. It's hard.
Speaker 18 (01:04:39):
It's so so, so so stressful, like you want to cry.
And I cannot read that book. It's too sad, it's
too much for me. It's too I don't read it.
Speaker 17 (01:04:49):
I read probably like three pages and I had to quit.
Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
What about you to relive all of it all night.
Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
A minute.
Speaker 6 (01:05:01):
My autobigraphy almost made me cry, and this book almost
made me cry, almost made him cry.
Speaker 18 (01:05:07):
I book was putting himrough an episode that I called.
Speaker 17 (01:05:09):
It at day one.
Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
So revisiting the trauma, yes, it puts him back.
Speaker 6 (01:05:15):
Bro, I can't lie, especially the best Alabama part, Like damn,
that take me back down?
Speaker 7 (01:05:20):
You know.
Speaker 6 (01:05:20):
It's like then I started thinking about you know, when
I was young, my granddad and my mom, like, damn,
we was poor. And I'm like, I don't I don't
think about that no more. You know what I'm saying?
That was like I know it was poor, but like
that not well when you go back to think about it, Damn, man,
the racist ad time poor as hell, you know, staying
with my granddady, me and my mom, my brother's like
we ain't have we have?
Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
So how do you protect yourself while revisiting that trumpa
and on a press run and how do you how
do you protect well?
Speaker 17 (01:05:48):
The press run doesn't bother him.
Speaker 18 (01:05:50):
It's just like when he was writing the book, because
he has to keep saying these things over and over
and over.
Speaker 17 (01:05:55):
And actually this was my idea.
Speaker 18 (01:05:57):
I was like, you need to do a movie called
episode and let people know what's going on. I said,
I can tell you everything you've done through your episodes
because he doesn't remember.
Speaker 17 (01:06:07):
And I was telling him how to make the movie.
Speaker 18 (01:06:09):
And that's how that's how we started the book, because
she told me to make a movie as soon as
you have the episode.
Speaker 17 (01:06:13):
I was like, this, people need to see that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
We all married the beautiful black woman. But I want Gucci.
You tell me how important is it to have a
good woman.
Speaker 6 (01:06:20):
Man, It's the most important thing you can have, the
best decision you can make. My best decision ever was
to marry her and be with her.
Speaker 18 (01:06:27):
Right.
Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
I got somebody to you know, whole mail accountable, and
I got somebody you know, watch TV with. Sometimes that's
all you want to do, cheer bro. I'm kind of like,
I don't really need a lot.
Speaker 18 (01:06:39):
Like we're just like best friends and we just home
just chilling and we everything we do we have it
in common, like the same food, the same shows.
Speaker 8 (01:06:48):
We both.
Speaker 14 (01:06:51):
Like to just go to.
Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
If you could redefine what it means to be real
in hip hop culture, what new code would you give
that this new generation?
Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
Man, I let them know, like they talking about their hood,
but the best hood is fatherhood. That's that's what I'm
most proud of. You know what I'm saying. I love
I love being called dad. You know, I love being
a present dad. That's like I didn't even know that
it was. There's so much joy and raising kids that
it is. But you know what I'm saying, like raising
the family has changed me. It has changed for the better.
Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
I always want to say the biggest thing that made
me so happy. When you see Gucci talking about his kids,
I don't know if you see the smile on his
start smile, start grinning, he like, I can't wait to
get back and get to my.
Speaker 17 (01:07:37):
Like that is the biggest thing him right now, He'll.
Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Do you feel like a.
Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Generational curse breaker?
Speaker 6 (01:07:44):
Yes, yes, I know. My little boy, he gonna inherit
all this, he got so much, he so turned up
your trust.
Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Fun baby, ain't nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 6 (01:07:54):
You know he said it with a smile. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
Go get episodes right now and Diary of a mad Man.
This is there's some books that are good. This is good,
but it's also important, man.
Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
It's important my album today too, shall.
Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Man, that's episode. I didn't even get that album.
Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
I didn't get what you want to left album voices voices.
It's Gucci man, thank you so much for joining us.
You used to listen to the Breakfast Live in the
morning when you work. I don't know if you still do,
but you gotta compassion.
Speaker 6 (01:08:19):
I listen to y'all every day before I go to
the gym, and not my favorite part is positive.
Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Know today there we go.
Speaker 17 (01:08:24):
He loves that you're positive.
Speaker 6 (01:08:27):
So as I'm going to the gym, we are on
the gym, we listen to y'all. But it's like the
Positive to Day. I ain't stopped. Let me hear what
he's saying.
Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
That's what it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Good Damn, it's I mean, trying to be donkey today.
Speaker 7 (01:08:46):
No more.
Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
not making these people do these.
Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Days called Donkey of to Day and it really caught
me off guard.
Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
Damn Charlamagne, who.
Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
Got the donkey out of Day today? Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Just Hillary, it's Donkey today.
Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
From Monday, October twentieth goes to a twenty one year
old Ohio man named Jonathan Morris. Jonathan is locked up
right now because he decided to seek vengeance after being fired.
Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Okay, how many.
Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
People out there have been fired and wanted to seek
revenge for said firing. Well, Jonathan Morris lived out your
wildness dreams and now his dumb ass is in jail
for it. Let's go to Fox nineteen now for the
report police.
Speaker 15 (01:09:22):
Breaking this morning. At the Alert desk, A man is
dead after a shooting outside this Taco Bell in Queensgate.
This is video from that scene at the restaurant on
Guest Street. Cincinnati Police say they first got that call
around midnight saying someone shot an employee in the parking
lot of that Taco Bell. When officers arrived, they declared
the victim dead at the scene. We're told police did
(01:09:44):
not make any arrests or find a weapon right now,
they are currently investigating and finding surveillance video from the
restaurant at this hour.
Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Jonathan, Johnny, John John, I shouldn't have to tell you
that this wasn't the way to handle any of this.
Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Okay. Look, we've all been fired in life.
Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
I've been fired seven times total, four times from radio stations.
The others were a clothing store that used to exist
in them all called Demo. I was fired from a
warehouse called Industrial Acoustic Company, and I was fired by
my sister from guess where Taco Bell? Yes, my sister
was the manager, and she fired me rightfully.
Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
So, okay, I was late. That's not funny. It is.
It is funny, but it is that, you know what
I'm saying. I was fired rightfully, so I was late,
not doing what I was supposed to be doing. It happens.
Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
But now once did I think about reacting to any
of those firings the way Jonathan Morris did. Okay, I
just don't understand the rapid escalation. You fired one day
then allegedly commit murder the next. There had to be
some type of serious mental breakdown. He had to have
a problem with his manager prior. Because ain't no way, Jonathan,
You're twenty one years old. I can guarantee you that
(01:10:55):
Taco Bell was not going to be where you peaked
in life.
Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Okay, it just wasn't. You went to Taco Bell a
day after being fired from there to kill the manager.
Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
I looked it up, man, Okay, Taco Bell in Ohio
pay than the average of about thirteen dollars and thirty
three cents per hour. So you were about to spend
the rest of your life in a maximum security prison
for minimum wage.
Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
And the news report said the manager was just trying
to help.
Speaker 6 (01:11:22):
That's what I read.
Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Okay, I bet you the manager and rest in peace
to the manager. Ryan Johnson sending his family healing energy.
Ryan Johnson was just trying to help. He probably engaged
Jonathan in conversation. He probably was making an effort to
resolve something, probably trying to tell him like, bruh, this
ain't that serious. Okay, you got fired from here, you
got a whole life to live. But now he's dead
(01:11:44):
because this young man simply couldn't handle his emotions. Another
permanent decision made from temporary feelings. Listen, I promise you,
youngest man. I know things be feeling like the end
of the world when bad things happen. But if it's
one thing that I have learned in my forties even
years on this planet, is that trouble don't last always. Okay,
this two shall pass, and my brother, fast food is
(01:12:08):
not a fortune five hundred company fortune five hundred companies
ain't worth you killing nobody over but definitely fast food,
ain't okay? I promise you that you could have gotten
another fast food job if you wanted one.
Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
You may have felt humiliated or wronged in the moment.
You might have felt like it was unfair. You may
have felt powerless, but McDonald's was right up the street. Okay,
So is a Chick for l A? Well, you're definitely
not nice enough to work and no Chick fil A,
But there's a coust Junius. I don't know if Crystal
is in Ohio, but my point is there was other
fast food jobs to be got. Okay, you can get
(01:12:40):
another fast food job where Ryan Johnson sadly can't get
another life, not here in this dimension anyway, and you,
Jonathan can't get back what you are about to lose,
which is a life of freedom. Workplace conduct plus emotional
discress plus access to firearms can lead to irreversible tragedies
(01:13:00):
like this one. Please give Jonathan Morris the biggest he huh,
All that for a crunch?
Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
Rap supreme? That's crazy? All that for a cheesy GRDA crunch. Really,
we're race, We'll race.
Speaker 8 (01:13:16):
What's his name?
Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
His name was Jonathan Morris? You won't see him. You
know what race? You know, we don't know what a race.
Don't just assume. Okay, Morris, y'all want to play a game.
A game. I don't want to play a game. Somebody died.
Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
I do have a question, jess right, what race y'all
think he is? Thoughcause I want to know. I don't
wont know how.
Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Racist y'all are?
Speaker 19 (01:13:40):
You go for?
Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
Black?
Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Black?
Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Why do y'all think that? I don't know? Yeah, I
don't even.
Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
But but let me ask you a question. Yes, that's
Charlamage while he got five from Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Yeah, why did you senstify? You said you was late,
but why did you want? I mean, I wasn't doing
what I was supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
It was late all the time. I don't remember sneak
at a learn.
Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Only work frot of all. I don't be late here.
Stop backing like I be late here all the god damn.
I been working for fifteen years. My track record is
very good.
Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Okay, Yeah, I've worked with people who were extremely late
all the time. All right, okay, my track record is
very very good.
Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
All right, all right, all right, well now when we
come back, you got a chance to chop it up
with former president former Vice president Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
Yes, you know, Kamala Harris has an amazing book out
called one hundred and seven Days. If Democrats get out
their feelings, I think it can you know, help them
to have some courage to tell the truth about their
own party. All right, and I think that can help them,
you know, moving into the future. But we were in Birmingham,
Alabama on Friday, and we had a couple of conversations.
We had a five o'clock conversation and an eight o'clock conversation.
(01:14:49):
Both of them were different. So we're gonna get pieces
of both of them all for you this morning. All right,
we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Good Morning, The Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Everybody is DJ NV, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the God. We
are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Over the weekend, Charlamagne chapped it up with The Birthday Woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
So we was in Birmingham, Alabama on Friday. You know,
her book is out one hundred and seven days. It's
been number one on the New York Times Bestsellers list
for weeks and so, yeah, we had a couple of conversations.
You know, we had a five o'clock conversation in an
eight o'clock conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
So I don't know which one we're getting on for
you this morning. It might be a combination of both.
Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
It is, it's the breakfast Club, good morning.
Speaker 14 (01:15:30):
Well, you know, I.
Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
Loved one hundred and seven days, And the reason.
Speaker 3 (01:15:33):
I loved one hundred and seven days is because I
just love honesty, you know, And it felt like, you know,
you you got a lot off of your chest, a
lot of things that you've been wanting to say. But
I guess I couldn't say you decided to say in
the book, do you do you?
Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
We cannot hear you. You don't know what you say.
Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
Do you feel like the Democratic Party truly supported your
leadership or they just relieved you could study the ship
after Biden stepped aside.
Speaker 14 (01:16:00):
That's a big thing to say the Democratic Party there
was what a Biden administration?
Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Well, I write about it.
Speaker 14 (01:16:08):
I write about how I felt about people in the answer.
Speaker 20 (01:16:17):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 14 (01:16:18):
If we think about where we are now and moving forward,
we've got to have the fight in us and we
have to understand that this is not a time for
sitting around complaining about, Oh they're cheating, they're just not fair,
they're not playing by the rules.
Speaker 20 (01:16:35):
We need to fight fire with fire.
Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
There we go.
Speaker 6 (01:16:39):
We need to fight fire with fire.
Speaker 14 (01:16:43):
So when I look at where the Democratic Party is today,
that's what I applaud those who are understanding that this
is not a time to try and be the ones
who are holding up the standard when they are stealing
our We will not compromise our values or principles. These
(01:17:06):
things can coexist where we have our principles and our values,
but we know how to roll up our sleeves and
throw a punch and stead.
Speaker 20 (01:17:14):
Just taking a punch her.
Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Now, another thing I want to talk about, Like we've
all seen the clips of people interrupting you at these
book events, right, please, nobody do that tonight, all right?
Speaker 2 (01:17:27):
And it always makes me wonder if they've.
Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
Read the book, like the people who are in supportive
Paloss and have they actually read the book because in
the book you call Biden's comments on Gaza inadequate and forced.
Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
What word would you use to describe the administration's role
in that moment?
Speaker 14 (01:17:46):
I firmly believe we could have done more. We had
a certain level of leverage that we did not exercise.
Whether it was about what we did in terms of support,
applying support at what level?
Speaker 8 (01:18:05):
It about?
Speaker 14 (01:18:06):
What about speaking publicly about what we knew to be wrong.
I think we could have done more and and should have.
Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Did Did you ever feel complicit in decisions that's right?
Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Did did you ever feel complicit in decisions that went
against your conscience?
Speaker 14 (01:18:23):
I the people in the administration were very clear about
how it felt.
Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Yeah, you wrote, you wrote that Net and Yahoo wanted
Trump in de seat across from him, not you, not Joe.
So what do you think that says about how foreign
leaders really view, you know, the current administration and the
Biden administration.
Speaker 14 (01:18:48):
I think ye And I again, for the sake of repetition,
I I predicted it, and it's exactly what we're saying.
I I said on the debate stage, they one are
laughing at us. If you look at it in the
context of again, a disgraceful speech that the president gave
(01:19:13):
before the United Nations, he did it when he was
president the first time, and again was disgraceful. You look
at it in terms of the whole flattery or favor
he accepted a plane the President of the United States
from a foreign government.
Speaker 20 (01:19:35):
Remember we all learned.
Speaker 14 (01:19:36):
Back in the day, what is a trojan horse. Some
people might call it a jet plane. I'd call it
a trojan horse. And let me tell you something. I
spent four years flying around the world on Air Force
two and taking very important, highly classified meetings with the
(01:20:00):
Secretary of Defense, Secretary of.
Speaker 20 (01:20:02):
State, generals, and others in an environment.
Speaker 14 (01:20:07):
On that plane that was highly protected for those classified conversations.
Because you can only imagine how much foreign governments want
to have access to our classified information which we possess
in the best interest of.
Speaker 20 (01:20:24):
Our national security.
Speaker 14 (01:20:26):
And this man wants a big plane so bad because
you know, his plane is not that big, that Trump plane,
and he wants it so he can have it when
he's out of office. They talk about giving it to
the library. You know who's going to be flying around
on that plane. And this is on top of remember
(01:20:48):
early on they were.
Speaker 20 (01:20:49):
Using Signal Charlemagne to plan out war plans.
Speaker 14 (01:20:57):
We would get ourselves out of in the middle of
the night, all of us wherever we were to go
to what it was called what is called a skiff,
which is a secure facility, or go to the situation
room to have those conversations.
Speaker 20 (01:21:12):
These people are so lazy.
Speaker 14 (01:21:16):
That they're sending back texting each other about war plans,
and then so dumb to not know.
Speaker 20 (01:21:22):
A reporter as in the tax chain.
Speaker 14 (01:21:27):
With our national security interests at stake, And if it
weren't so incredibly harmful.
Speaker 20 (01:21:36):
It would be the thing of a great comedy sketch.
Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Oh, I will be in you.
Speaker 20 (01:21:43):
But it's ext And this.
Speaker 21 (01:21:45):
Is the thing about having people who don't fully appreciate
the strength and power and therefore solemn responsibility that comes
with these positions, that it.
Speaker 8 (01:22:01):
Is not about them, It is about you, It is
about us.
Speaker 20 (01:22:05):
It is about we the people.
Speaker 7 (01:22:07):
And that is what is so tragic.
Speaker 14 (01:22:10):
Put aside personalities, put aside egos or lack thereof, the
matters that we are discussing are such a grave and
important nature that to have people who do not understand
the that they possess the power in the public trust
and to instead be convinced of their personal entitlement, it's
(01:22:35):
so incredibly dangerous to who we are as a country.
Speaker 20 (01:22:39):
Well, let's save each other.
Speaker 14 (01:22:41):
That we're here to save each other.
Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Are you going to take time to enjoy yourself on
your upcoming birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Oh yeah, you know right about.
Speaker 20 (01:22:52):
If my birthday's coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
Yeah, the dove knows that it's time, right. But I
know in the book you kind of God last year.
Speaker 14 (01:23:01):
Yeah, so I tell a story about I love my
husband so much. I loved my husband so much. I
loved my Dougie so much. But yeah, that was not
a good birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
You got triggered just now just thinking about it.
Speaker 14 (01:23:17):
Okay, what happened was so?
Speaker 8 (01:23:20):
What happened was this?
Speaker 20 (01:23:23):
So my birthday is October twenty.
Speaker 14 (01:23:26):
So we were, as you can imagine, knee need deep
in the campaign, and Doug and I, Doug my husband
and I, we had basically, you know, like so many
of our families, we had you know, split up to
everybody being somewhere that we needed to be, and our
teams had conspired so lovingly that he and I would
(01:23:47):
end up in the same place the night of my birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 20 (01:23:58):
You're gonna ask me, did Doug plan a dinner?
Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
I read the book.
Speaker 20 (01:24:01):
I know he didn't.
Speaker 14 (01:24:06):
So then it came time for the birthday gift. I
opened the gift. The gift was a necklace that it
was engraved. It was not October twentieth, It was the
date of our anniversary, because Doug clearly thought he was
(01:24:27):
going to get a twofer with that one gift.
Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Need you to do better this year, Doug?
Speaker 14 (01:24:36):
Okay, fourth, they hid it and he was so and
it was it was leading up to the World Series,
and so we had had we had dinner and which
I selected, and and we had a little cupcake and
I blew out the candle and I was done. And
so I went to go take a bath because it
(01:24:59):
actually during the campaign, and I highly suggest it for
anybody who has a bathtub that it is a really
wonderful way to distressed at the.
Speaker 8 (01:25:06):
End of the day, with salt, Yes, with ebs, salt
with eb some salt. Right, So I went to go
take a bath.
Speaker 14 (01:25:14):
Doug was watching the baseball game, and then I realized
in this hotel and they had it was a nice
little suite they got us for that night, and the
towels were on the other side of the bathroom. So
of course I'm vice president running for president of the
United States. So I had my phone next to the bathtub,
and but first I just called out to.
Speaker 20 (01:25:36):
My husband dougie.
Speaker 7 (01:25:40):
Nothing.
Speaker 14 (01:25:43):
Then I went to Doug calling him out, Doug nothing,
and then it's real serious when I go Douglas.
Speaker 20 (01:25:55):
So I picked up the phone to call him. He
didn't answer, So then.
Speaker 14 (01:26:02):
I FaceTime audio him. Here's how he answered, what's up?
Speaker 8 (01:26:12):
And that was it.
Speaker 17 (01:26:15):
And so we got into it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
Rightfully so.
Speaker 14 (01:26:23):
And but here's the thing about my husband and about
that moment. We all, in our relationships, in whatever form
you have, go through stressful moments and go through you
know what life brings. There are joy and there is
also stress. And my husband said to me at that moment,
(01:26:45):
he looked at me and he.
Speaker 20 (01:26:46):
Just poured cold water on the.
Speaker 14 (01:26:49):
Heat of that moment. And he looked at me and
he said, we cannot turn on each other.
Speaker 20 (01:26:56):
And it was so poignant.
Speaker 14 (01:27:00):
And you know, I tell a few stories like that
about just what this was because Charlemagne. In many ways,
I just I wanted to write this book to also
just lift the hood on what happens behind the scenes
in every way. I think there's so much about I mean,
obviously the office of president is and it affects the
(01:27:21):
entire globe, but there's so much about the process that's
very opaque that people unless you've been personally involved at
a very close level, you don't really have a sense
of and I wanted to help people have a sense
of it in a way that I hope helps people
see where they could fit in or be involved or
a part of it, and feel a sense of understanding
(01:27:44):
what it all involves, so that we can all participate
in an active way.
Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
You know, in the book you write about democracy being fragile,
and we see that happening right now.
Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
Do you still believe the system can fix yourself from
the inside?
Speaker 14 (01:27:56):
No, not necessarily.
Speaker 20 (01:27:57):
Okay, it pains me to say that.
Speaker 14 (01:28:02):
When I decided to become a prosecutor, I had to
defend that decision with my family. They were not down
with that decision, so many of them. And I said, look,
why is it that we are always thinking that for
systems that need change or reform, that we have to
(01:28:23):
be on the outside on ben de knee or trying
to break down the door to get that improvement done.
I said, shouldn't we also think about being on the
inside of the system as a way to have an impact.
And I have believed that, and I've seen the benefit
of that my entire career.
Speaker 20 (01:28:41):
But to be very candid. I perhaps naively thought.
Speaker 14 (01:28:46):
The system would be stronger in this moment.
Speaker 8 (01:28:51):
Then it's been.
Speaker 14 (01:28:53):
And I think that without any question, the destruction caused
by this administration in this moment and the debris that
will be left is going to require some serious work,
and it will need to be without nostalgia about how
(01:29:14):
things were, knowing that there was a lot that was
not working so well, and there was a lot that
was working well, to be sure, and the people inside,
these career people who have been there doing incredible God's
work must be applauded always. But the structure and the
(01:29:34):
way we have designed some of these systems has turned
out to be quite flawed. So the change that we
want and the improvement that we're going to need, some
of it will be from inside the system, but I
think a lot of it is going to be because
of the pressure that the people put to say, this
is how.
Speaker 20 (01:29:51):
I want my government to work for me.
Speaker 14 (01:29:55):
I think that's and I think that perhaps in this
moment of crisis, it is going to one of the
maybe opportunities in this moment of severe crisis is that
when we have to then start figuring out how we're
going to deal with the debris and the cleanup that
it gives us an opportunity to reimagine some of these
(01:30:15):
systems to make them more effective and responsive to the
needs of the people.
Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
Well, if one hundred and seven days was your closure
for one chapter, what's the new one you're ready to open?
Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
Are you going to be part of that cleanup? Are
you going to be out there intershot you?
Speaker 14 (01:30:31):
You know it is my nature to serve. I'm not
going to stop serving, but right now my focus is
on winning, and so I'm going to be doing work
on behalf of folks in the mid terms. There are
two important governor's races happening in the country right now,
which we should focus on in New Jersey and Virginia.
Speaker 20 (01:30:53):
There's the local work.
Speaker 14 (01:30:55):
That's happening, and that's going to be my focus. We
have to win on everything, and it's about not only elections,
but around this this war on disinformation and also just
lifting up the ability of us as Americans to trust
each other. There's a lot of work to be done,
and I'm in it and I'm here for the fight.
Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
That was Charlemagne's conversation with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Now,
when we come back. We got the latest with Lawrence.
You don't go anywhere. It's to the breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
The morning, the breakfast.
Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
Club, Happy, happy, happy, monefe Life is great.
Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
God is good.
Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
God is great. Life is good. God is great. God
everything is great. It really is, though it is, of
course it is.
Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
And let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Lauren to come on a straight fast.
Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
She gets them somebody that knows somebody.
Speaker 8 (01:31:54):
I'm no long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
She'd be having the latest on the large The Latest
with Lauren la Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you
have details. Sometimes you have a little bit every time.
The leader on the breakfast Club.
Speaker 8 (01:32:10):
All right, So stephen A.
Speaker 13 (01:32:12):
Smith is talking more about Lebron James. He sat down
with the guys over at the Pivot and he talked
about Lebron James and he says, Lebron James doesn't go
at white people the same way he does black analysts.
Speaker 8 (01:32:23):
That's sick a listing.
Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
You ever see Lebron got the white boy? It's called
what it come at me? Close as you have a kid.
Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
That first for yourself, plead again.
Speaker 22 (01:32:35):
I'm sorry you ever see Lebron got the white boy
called what you see you, Shawna, come at me close
as you have A came to see him do something
like that when he called out Brian Wenthors.
Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
What you're calling not Brian Windhors, for the man covered
you since junior.
Speaker 22 (01:32:46):
High school and has praised you repeatedly, and you used
the Pat McAfee situation to go at him. And that's
the only time you ever see Lebron James, you know,
really go at somebody white.
Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
I'm calling what it is. When I did my monologue.
Speaker 22 (01:32:58):
For seventeen to have eighteen minutes the day after he
decided to go on Pat McAfee's show. Immediately after, I
was informed that we won't be hearing more from him
about me. That's what I thought, because I got receipts.
I pride myself on being a fair minded individual, being professional,
but I'm also a proud black man, and I know
(01:33:19):
not only what I've done, what I've tried to do
for black men in our industry. I'm gonna have to
call you out sometimes, but you know why I'm calling
you out because there's a whole bunch of other black
people I got to look out for, and they can't
make the same everage you just made because if they
did it, were ruin their life. And I need to
use you as that example because I got a bigger vision.
Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
Yeah, that's an interesting take.
Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
But what I would say, you know, bigger than going
at I guess white sports pundits. Like we've seen Lebron
James be a voice for social justice, you know, in
a in a racially divided country, like we've seen him
do that a lot. We've seen him position himself, you know,
throughout his throughout his.
Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
Career as a leader on those type of issues.
Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
And you know, somebody of his statue don't have to
speak out against a lot of the things that Lebron
has spoken out against. So I mean, you know, saying
he went up, he never went at a white sports pundit.
I don't know if that's even true or not. But
I've seen him stand up against white supremacy.
Speaker 1 (01:34:19):
Yeah, but I think it's I think it's a different line. Yeah,
we see Lebron stand up for for a lot of
social rights, but a lot of Yeah, a lot of
people do feel like when it comes to not said ish.
Speaker 6 (01:34:31):
You said, he said, I thought you said it to.
Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
You said it.
Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
I need you to share, but no, I mean no,
Lebron has used his platform to speak on political and socialists.
He's he's he's done things like, you know, mobilized black voters.
He's fought against voters and fresh and in response, you know,
to the death of George Floyd, like I've seen Lebron
(01:34:55):
James stand up speak on issues, especially in re guards
to race that he doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
At his level. Yes, I like that more than going
at you know, a white sports But I guess he's.
Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
Saying, if you're gonna go at me, go at everybody
the same. I guess that's that Stephen Smiths.
Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
But I'm just saying both they're not created equally. I
don't I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (01:35:16):
He's ever got Brian Windhoord is the example that I
would use, because that's the latest one that's in my mind.
I don't know who historically. I'm sure he's probably clapped
that Skip baalist.
Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
I don't know. I really do not know.
Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
But I'm just saying standing up for social justice issues
and standing up for your race and regards and stuff
like that is bigger than me, and it's a lot
more to lose doing that than it is going at
a sports aintle.
Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
That's all I'm saying. So I don't know what Stephen
was trying to get at with that.
Speaker 13 (01:35:42):
Gotcha, that was the shut up in dribble. I mean
he didn't like go at her, but the whole number
and the whole shut up and dribble thing too. Like
I'm sure he has some things to say about.
Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
That, but that's why the lady.
Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
The lady told him that because of the stands he
takes for his on race issues and social justice issues.
Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
Because George Floyd that was I.
Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Don't remember what that was for. I just remember that's
why they told him to shut up and dribble.
Speaker 13 (01:36:03):
That's why, well else Elsewhearing the interview, Stephen A does
say that to MV to your point that you know
he there was a lot of times where he didn't
speak on Bronnie and Lebron and he actually like clapped
for them because he felt like lebron was getting what
he deserved because he does so much for the league.
But I think he feels like you took your time
to come for me and everybody else. But I mean
the Steven A. Smith too, So if you're gonna come
(01:36:25):
for somebody, you want to go where the voice is
like if everybody listens to stephen A.
Speaker 8 (01:36:28):
So I kind of understand that as well.
Speaker 13 (01:36:30):
But he also talked about the Serena Williams Alexis Orhani
moment as well. He says, if he was in the studio,
it would have went down different. Let's take a listen
to that.
Speaker 22 (01:36:38):
Let's go to that Alexis Ohany and Serena Williams husband.
Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
It would have been a entirely different situation if I
were in the studio.
Speaker 22 (01:36:45):
Don't think for one second and I'm gonna let some
petty spat get in the way of my money. All
I was saying was, as men, if I'm married and
my wife got the energy and the fervor to show
up on Super Bowl Sunday and go out on stage,
specifically to dance off of a song that's disrespecting her ax,
(01:37:06):
my question would be, what's that energy about. That's all
I was saying. I was speaking generically. He clearly took
it differently, and to his face. I would have said
to him what I just said to y'all, and I
would say, but that you took it differently. I owned that,
and I apologize you because I meant no disrespect, but
I wasn't gonna make a big deal of it. But
if I was face to face and he had come
at me that way, I would have simply said, sir,
(01:37:27):
I didn't mean it that way, but do you really
want me to take it there?
Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
Now?
Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
You got to go back, Alexis, Alexis, you got to
go back because I want to see.
Speaker 6 (01:37:38):
Let this die.
Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
You know, we don't want to see, don't want to see.
Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
You're not doing it well.
Speaker 3 (01:37:47):
I want to say he.
Speaker 1 (01:37:51):
Didn't even have the full energy through YouTube. Alexis what's
his name? Alex was name?
Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Not going to have the same energy balls and Steve
Steven the one that got.
Speaker 5 (01:38:06):
The fact that whether alex Is gonna have an energy
and oh my bad, Alexis exactly it's not even the
fact whether he's gonna have the energy or not. It's
the fact that will he have the same energy to y'all.
It's his energy going to be good enough for y'all,
because it wasn't good enough for y'all when he came
up there and said something that's not true.
Speaker 3 (01:38:28):
Les would have said exactly what he said to Steven
a to face the face, giving.
Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
That's not what he said is this that he didn't
say it to his face. I thought I made that
perfectly clear.
Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
I thought he should have been more directed. I didn't
like talking about, you know, relationship and marricasarned to make
billion dollar companies.
Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
I was kind of confused.
Speaker 3 (01:38:54):
Now that was a flexcasion, so me for me, it's
just about to face to face in But now the
balls in Stephen's court, okay, because I need to see
what they react faith, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
I want to say one last thing.
Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
The reason I always give Lebron James props for what
he does in social justice and standing up for racial
issues is because of the fact that people like Jordan,
Michael Jordan were always criticized for not doing that, you know,
because he didn't want to lose endorsements, so I didn't
want to lose fans. Lebron don't eem to care about that.
He never seem to care about that. So I respect
that more than just you know, going at a white
(01:39:32):
sports anker. The latest with Lauren, yeah you had another one.
Speaker 8 (01:39:37):
Yeah, Jack and forth. She even got her exes mad.
Speaker 2 (01:39:41):
She said which one? Which one?
Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
This is?
Speaker 8 (01:39:47):
This is the one that was with her right.
Speaker 13 (01:39:49):
Before she did Selena, and this is the one that
used to claim that because Diddy came around their relationship,
their marriage ended.
Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
I would like the record to show that I never
heard of this man.
Speaker 1 (01:39:57):
All right, Well, noah, guys, when.
Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
I think of j Ox's he's never I don't even
know who this is.
Speaker 1 (01:40:09):
Was only married for eleven She was married for a
hot time. He had a lot to say. It was
eleven years.
Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
Oh so he like Chris Humphreys, and Chris Humphreys was
way more popping than them.
Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
Oh my goodness. All right, now when we come back,
we got the People's choice mixed. Happy Birthday, Snoop Dog.
We're gonna play some Snoop in the mix, and of
course some Gucci because he was there early. It's the
Breakfast Lubve good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy just hilarious.
Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Sluta, Gucci Maine.
Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
For joining us this morning. Man, it's Lutha Gucci. I'm
not even joking when I say this.
Speaker 3 (01:40:36):
His new book, Episodes Diary of Recovering mad Man is
a very very important book because there's not too many people,
especially artists, who are willing to admit that they were
clinically diagnosed with bipolaris schizophrenia. They had super drug addiction,
he was on lean, he was on pills purpose at
all of that stuff like that, and a lot of
that irrational behavior we saw from them, the Twitter rans
(01:41:00):
going at people. It was because of that man. You
know how how great the world would be if so
many other people would admit.
Speaker 8 (01:41:06):
That for sure, And the fact that he had a
wife there to help him every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
She never left them alone.
Speaker 3 (01:41:11):
You know what, Luther, He's just really the hero and
all of this because Gucci don't really have anybody else
that closes. If you get the book, he'll explain to
you why he don't really have a relationship with his mom.
God bless it because his mom is no longer here.
But I'm telling you it's a really really good read.
Speaker 4 (01:41:27):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:41:27):
Yeah, she's the glue that held it all together.
Speaker 2 (01:41:29):
So why would you want anything other than a black woman?
Speaker 3 (01:41:34):
No disrespect that you know anybody who has something else
other than a black woman.
Speaker 2 (01:41:37):
You know what I'm saying. I I'm all for love.
Speaker 1 (01:41:43):
Love is love, love who you want to love.
Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
But why, I just want to know why you would
want you know, that's all.
Speaker 7 (01:41:51):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
I want to know why you were?
Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
Why why especially as a black man. You know what
I'm saying, and I believe that, you know what, whatever,
I don't even feel like explaining. I just I like
black love and watching Gucci and Keisha, seeing stunning Mona Leo.
You know, thinking to me and my wife, if you
got a black woman even though he's Dominican.
Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
And then I'm black, but yes I'm black.
Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
I ain't.
Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Having a black woman.
Speaker 8 (01:42:18):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
For having a black woman.
Speaker 10 (01:42:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
Gucci said he listens to the positive note every morning,
So what you got this morning?
Speaker 3 (01:42:32):
Actually the positive note comes from Gucci man because Gucci
said something in his book in regards to getting help,
and he said, you know, the only person that can
help you is yourself when you need it, and I
do believe that is absolutely the first step. And this
positive note comes from see Joy bell se She once said,
the only person who can pull me down is myself,
and I'm not gonna let myself pull.
Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
Me down anymore. You heard what I just said.
Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
The only person who can pull me down is myself,
and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
Have a great day.

What you do this week? And it was off?
Speaker 5 (00:25):
Yes, I was off, but I'm still always on, very
much doing business every day.
Speaker 6 (00:29):
But me and my.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Kids we call it pumpkins. This Marley is too young
to do it, but me and my son we did it.
And we had a contest, and whoever carved like the best,
like creative little pumpkin, it got fifty dollars. I gave
it the ash anyway, mine was better than his. I
had a wig, lashes, did my my eyebrows on it?
I put a little nose ring in my pumpkins?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Did you carve it caring? Like cut the inside? I
know what carving come with? Just pint pumpkins, and they'd
be like, come on, no, no, no.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
No, that's what we let Marlee. That's what we was
gonna let Marley do because she won. But she was
looking at that like, no, I'm not so yeah. Ash
like he made his pumpkin look like scream, like the
Scream villain or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
But mine was nice. I was giving very much city girls.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, he he got.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
She had a weekend. Guyelash girl.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Bust down.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
My pumpkin had to bust down real week very much.
And it's still better be on my porch. I know
that when I get back to Maryland.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, well, this is the first year that I actually
did fall decorations, and so we put up pumpkins. I
was excited because my neighbors do it all the time.
I know, I just do Christmas. So we got busy whatever.
I was excited about that, and I got to give
you some spray. There's a spray that you spray on
the pumpkins so that the animals don't eat the pumpkins,
so the squirrels don't eat in the chickens, the rabbits
to dead. I'll send you that spray. That charlamage I
(01:45):
knew he was in Alabama, right.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, I was in Birmingham over the weekend, dropped on
the clues bomps for everybody I saw at Birmingham. I was, uh,
you know, Kamala Harris's book is out one hundred and
seven days, been number one on the New York Times
Bestsellers list for weeks now, and so I did a
a couple of couple of book conversations with her on
Friday night.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's right, we're gonna get last morning.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, we spoke at five o'clock.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Then we had a second show at at eight o'clock,
which is interesting because I don't think I ever did
that before and talked to the same person twice twice
the span of hours, and it was two totally different conversations.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
But we're gonna get that. If you miss it or
you weren't there, of course, we're going to get that
back on later on.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yes, today, Shoot, everybody, I talk at Johannas Johanna's Johannah's
Restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama. My homegirls shunned owns that spot
in Birmingham. You know they got the classic this weekend, Yes, yes,
And everybody's gonna be trying to get into Johannas because
it's that type of spot. It's a Japanese spot. They
serve sushi and all types of other stuff. So if
you need a table, called me. We're not gonna pick up,
(02:41):
but you know this is good to say, call me.
I know the owner Jesus, but not gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:45):

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Because I didn't hear anything about it. I just wanted
to make sure he did last fight, and he is
now retired then allegedly according to.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Okay, that's dope.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'm glad he won.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Right now, today on the show, Gucci Man will be
joining us the Lobster's not just Gucci now now also
his wife Kishi Kyo. They'll be joining us. He has
a new book called Episodes and a new album, so
we're gonna be talking to Gucci Man.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Episodes is such an important book because you know, Gucci
Man has been clinically diagnosed with bipolar A schizophrenia, and
he is the first artist that I can remember who
is open about that, talking about taking his mans and
you know what triggers this episode, You know how his
wife helped him get through it. Very important book, Episodes
is Man, So I can't wait to talk to him
(03:33):
about it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That's right. So Gucci will be joining us this morning.
Should be a lot of fun. And when we come back,
we got front page news, a lot of protests over
the week and me and me will be filling us
in with everything that went down over the weekend. So
don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, morning everybody.
It's the j n V. Jess hilarious, God, we are
the breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You'll number one thing that when that's your man, when
you're right here with me.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Damn is she trying to humble the bitch?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Let No, I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Why we're doing football scores, but I'll do them. The
Eagles beat the Vikings twenty eight twenty two, Patriots beat
the Titans. The Browns beat the Dolphins, did Chiefs beat
the Raiders? The Giants lost to the Broncos. That is
so disrespectful, so nasty, so disgusting.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Y'all should be ashamed of yourself. Y'all up to nineteen
nothing in the fourth quarter, come back you miss two
point like, oh my gosh, No, not like that. I
Cowboys beat when's the last time that happened? I said
it sixty eight hasn't happened in sixteen hundred games. Our
team has been up to nineteen points in the fourth
quarter more, but of course the Giants broke that record.
The Cowboys beat the Commander's forty four to twenty two.
(04:37):
Forty nine has beat the Falcons twenty ten. The Packers
beat the Cardinals, the Coachs beat the Chargers, the Bears
beat the Saints, and the Jets lost again, the Jets
to zero and seven. Now tonight in Monday Night Football,
Tampa Bay takes on the Detroit Lions, and the Texans
take on the Seahawks. What's up to me?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Good morning, MV Josh Alderman. How y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Hagger beast me me?
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (05:01):
All right.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Well, we start this morning with massive protests around the
country as millions took to the streets for the No
King's Movement, a direct response to President Trump and his administration.
Nearly seven million people across all fifty states and all
around the world joined Saturday's demonstrations, denouncing what they call
an abuse of power by the President. The organizers say
it was the largest single day protests against a sitting
(05:24):
president in modern day history, surpassing the first wave of
no King demonstrations held back in June from Boston to
Los Angeles, huge crowds filled the streets, waving flags, carrying signs.
Protesters said that they were marching to defend democracy, oppose
immigration rates, and pushback on troop deployments and health care cuts.
And in Washington, Senator Bernie Sanders he took to the
(05:47):
stage calling out what he says are growing threats to democracy.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Let's listen, this.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth who,
in their insatiable grief, have hijacked our economy and our
political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense
of working families throughout this country. I am talking about
(06:14):
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Fax Zuckerberg, and they are the
multi billionaires.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
Well, meanwhile, Republicans are dismissing the protests as hate America rallies,
accusing Democrats of fueling unrest during the ongoing government shutdown,
and reporters they pressed President Trump for his reaction to
the massive demonstrations this weekend, and this was his response,
what's your response?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
In the protest over the weekend. The new kings pregnesses, I.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
Think it's a joke. I looked at the people. They're
not representative of this country. And I looked at all
the brand new science paid for. I guess it was
paid for by Surus and other radical left lunatics.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
It looks like it was.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective,
and the people who are worked out. When you look
at those people, those are not representative but the people
of our.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Country beside San Francisco.
Speaker 10 (07:09):
I'm not a king. I'm not a king. I work
my ass off to make our country great. That's all
it is. I'm not a king at all.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, I don't think he's a king. He's just not
a good president.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I mean, when you have a bunch of people who
are unemployed and you have a bunch of people who
are getting paid, what do you expect them to do?
They feel like they're not being hers, of course they're
going to take.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
To the screet absolutely, and just to say trumpy. Also,
he mocked those demonstrations Saturday. While they were going on,
he posted on true social including AI generated video showing
him wearing a Crown flying a jet and bombing protesters
with some sort of brown liquid. But despite the criticism,
organizers are saying that it was a success, saying millions
(07:50):
came together to peacefully send a clear message about democracy.
And later today in Washington the shutdown, the Senators will
reconvene at three pm to take another vote at five
point thirty on reopening the government and see if we're
going to continue the shutdown.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
So you're going to continue to watch that.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Nobody's gonna be happy because Donald Trump made a lot
of promises about the economy that you have not been kept.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And he promised immediate relief on day one.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
The inflation would be down, you know, Grocery prices would
be down, gas prices would be downe That's what he
promised the American people on day one. All you've seen
is a bunch of you know, firings and layoffs and
furloughs and people not working. What does he expect people
to do except for taking to the street to make
some noise, especially the Holliday's coming up too. Oh my god,
this is the ultimate reminder that you ain't got no goddamn.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Money in your pocket.
Speaker 9 (08:38):
Absolutely, and people are really feeling it. Not only is
he doing all those things Charlemagne, he is pardoning and
commuting sentences. So former Congressman George Santos, he is a
free man this morning after President Trump.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Commuted his sentence. You guys remember him.
Speaker 9 (08:51):
He was the congressman who was indicted or he went
to jail for seven years for wire fraud and identity
theft after admitting he stole campaign funds and lied to
donors for personal gain. And so now after hours after
his release, Trump posted on true social saying Santos had
been horribly treated in prison.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
And he was ordering his immediate release.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
And now not only did Trump commute his sentence, he
also just wiped his slate completely clean, including removing his probation,
his fines, his supervised release, and his restitution. I think
the restitution part is important because he had been told
that he had to pay back three hundred and seventy
thousand dollars to his victims. Now, if you remember, he
(09:34):
had been convicted of stealing money from a fundraiser for
a six service doll from a Navy veteran. His supporters,
including Marjorie Taylor Green, they argued that his punishment was
too harsh and that his time in solitary confinement was unfair,
But records show that Santos had actually requested to be
in solitary confinement for his sanity and his safety. And
(09:54):
the backlash over his release is being felt on both
sides of the aisle, with some Republicans saying the move
rewards bad behavior and undermines public trust in leadership.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, did did Trump ever say why he decided to
pardon George Sanda?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Well, he just said that a lot of people asked
him to. The only person that has come out and
said that they asked him to was Marjorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So you know, you gotta laugh at the judicial system
at this point, right, And anybody who if you're cool
with Trump, you really don't serve much time. You ain't
got to pay restitution, you ain't on probation. I heard
him this morning, Santo say that he was lucky. They
were like, well, are you gonna payr victims back? He goes,
whatever the court makes me do, it is what I'm
going to do. So anything over that, Nope.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
You don't even care, Like no, and he has to
do none of that.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
Things to Trump and b so We will continue to
see what happens with that. But he is out of
jail this morning and a free man. All right, Well,
coming up at seven, the growing problem that has everyone
screening their calls.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Will tell you what it is and how to fight back.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. Eight
hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
need to vent, phone lines wide open again. Eight hundred
five eight five one oh five one. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 11 (17:36):
I think that won't be the best way.
Speaker 3 (17:38):

think they should, you know, allow us not to have
to pay federal.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Tax absolutely, but that's all I got it.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I don't want to pay federal I love y'all, love

Speaker 8 (18:14):
We're gonna get into why. We're gonna talk about what happened.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
All right, we'll get to that next, So don't move.
It's to breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. It's
warning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarrys, CHARLAMAGNEIK guy. We
at a breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a straight fast man. She gets them to
somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
I'm a longe girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
She'd be having the latest on you. The latest with
Lauren la Rosa. Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details,
sometimes you have a little bit everything. So it's the
latest on the breakfast club. Talk to me, ll Kolbe.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Good morning. So Brandy and Monica kicked off the Boy
is Mine tour.
Speaker 13 (18:58):
It has been twenty seven years y'all, We've and waiting
for this, and it finally happened. So they're performing in
Chicago over the weekend on one of the opening tour dates,
and a emergency happened. So Brandy is on stage, her
sound begins to mess up, and then and then she
actually walks off stage trying to fix it.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Let's take a listen to Brandy on stage.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You mean.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That sounds horrible that her attle bit.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
Oh look, so listen that that was her issue. So
she was saying that there was something wrong with the sound.
She go when she walks off stage during the song,
she goes to the side to like the audio booth
that's normally sitting on the side, and you see her
talking with them. She's trying to figure something out. But
then she didn't return to the stage at all for
the rest.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Of the sho Yeah, and by the way, she did
sound good on her way out, right, Like she still
sounded good on the way out too, But.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I thought so too.
Speaker 13 (20:09):
But I mean, according to her, you know how, she
felt it wasn't what she needed it to be. So
she's on the side of the stage. There's a bunch
of fan videos of them recording her going back and
forth with the audio engineers, just trying to figure things out.
She doesn't return, so then Monica comes out and finishes
the rest of the set. Uh, let's take a listen
to Monica because they don't get to hear this night
in Chicago Saturday the boy's mind.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Let's take a listen to Monica.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I definitely when to say it's on the.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Share of the stage with Brandy. Now I'm saying you
spoke about in my heart.
Speaker 12 (20:42):
It took twenty seven years to figure out what we
were supposed to be. And when I'm realizing this, we
allowed too many other people in the midst of what
was just supposed to be us.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
So and on just the way out here as I'm saying,
all around.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
This, okay, I might be going death because it's off
for me to hear what they were saying. So was
it the sound or was it dehydration?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Because Lauren I saw the next day that it was
like some dehydration stuff, but nobody sounded dehydrated.
Speaker 13 (21:30):
So the next day, because fans were trying to figure
out what was going on, there were a lot of
people upset, but there were a lot of people concerned
because Brandy just walked off the stage and didn't finished
come back out. So Brandy posted a letter to the fans,
and she said, I sincerely apologized for the abrupt into
last night's performance in Chicago. After a few weeks of
non stop rehearsals, last night, I experienced dehydration and feeling
of wanting to think. Everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my
(21:51):
well being was the utmost importance. I still made the
decision to try and return and give them my all,
despite not feeling okay with having to make some adjustments
in the show. Being very tech, unfortunately, it was impossible
to fully connect sonically with the production.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
I really appreciate everyone's best effort.
Speaker 13 (22:06):
I'm deeply grateful to my sister Monica for stepping up
with such grace and professionalism, and the entire crew for
their continued support. I went from the arena to see
a doctor nearby, and I've taken the proper precautions to
help me moving forward. Your understanding patients and unwavering belief
in the belief, belief and mean the world to me.
I look forward to returning to the stage stronger and
(22:26):
more grateful than ever, alongside my girl Monica.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
Tonight in Indianapolis. So and that's what happened.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
They got back on the stage last night Sunday night
in Indianapolis and were able to get through the show.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
The crowd was able to hear the boy's mind. But
I mean it sounds like a little bit of both.
Speaker 13 (22:40):
Just to answer your question, like there were some technical
things going on, but she physically wasn't feeling okay.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Sure, and then you still couldn't tell you because she
was still bobbing and all that bombinga weaving and doing
a thing.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
And she sounded good.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
She always sounds great.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
But if it was the idration, did you see what
they be having on they do be performing like day outside,
like the big gass coats and they.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I'm like, yes, they got to take some of them
layers off.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
They be having air conditions and fans inside all of
those outfits.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I know, but it is it's people will be quick
to believe she was ready to line with me.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Now in some of those costumes, they do have fans
when they had to wear the head piece, but not
not those type of costumes. But my whole thing is
so you will find you were dehydrated on on Saturday
but then you perform on Sunday. No problem, that's I mean,
I do I get my money back, because if I
wanted to see the boy's mind, but it wasn't the
whole show. She did came shut up a queen, some queens, man, queen,
(23:52):
queen ben queen's motion, be queens, It's all right.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
The boy is still yours, the boy will always be.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
And the date this is the beginning of the tourist.
I know it's.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
But I do like the Ouphis though. They just looked
like they about to come in for Christmas. Though, you know,
like they have a lot.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
They're extra layered.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Hey, dropping the Kelly looked like it was summertime.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Absolutely, yep, she did. And she looked like she prepared.
She was prepared for it to be hot.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
That is the good of chocolate Goddess.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I do want cat with the shorts.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yes, no hat, but I know it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
No no, no, she did have had them, but she
took it off because she had the short ball under
the hat.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yes, she's right, she she ate that down.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Are they coming to New York? They got to. I'm
sure I want to see Kelly.
Speaker 13 (24:43):
Said them on tour though, because It's it's rough to
be doing all these dates back to back to back
because they're opening weekend.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
It was every single day they're opening weekends.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Ye, salute the Monica, Salute the brand. I hope they well,

Speaker 2 (26:22):
What's up to me?
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Good morning, Envy, Jeff, Charla Magine, how y'all doing?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Black? And Holly Favorite? How are you? Mimi?
Speaker 15 (26:28):
Good?
Speaker 7 (26:28):
Thank you?
Speaker 9 (26:29):
So this morning, we start this hour with a case
out of Philadelphia that has been making national headlines. That's
where police believe they may have found the body of
a young woman who's been missing for more than two weeks.
A twenty three year old Kaita Scott was last seen
the night of October fourth, leaving her family's Germantown home
to head to her overnight shift at a nursing home.
(26:49):
She never made it home, and her car was later
found parked outside her job, but there was no trace
of her. Now police say Scott had told family she
was being harassed through her phone, and within days investigators
identified twenty three year old Keon King of Delaware as
a suspect. Now, King surrendered to police last week and
was charged with kidnapping, but Scott is still missing. And
(27:10):
then on Saturday, police announced a heartbreaking discovery. Human remains
were found in a shallow grave behind an abandoned middle school,
not far from where Scott disappeared. Now the Deputy Commissioner,
John Stanford says officers were led to the site after
receiving a very specific, anonymous tip on Friday night.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Now the remains appear to be about.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
A week old and have been sent to the medical
examiner for identification. At the community, they have been deeply
passionate about this case, searching daily, organizing on social media,
and at times yelling at police to do more. When
the remains were found, many gathered at the scene, frustrated
and emotional, saying officers should have done more, faster, and
(27:50):
sooner to help locate her. The investigators say they are
aware of the growing frustration and address the community's concerns.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Let's listen to that.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Listen.
Speaker 16 (27:59):
I am not a fit it by the passion that
you know, some of the you know, remarks that have
been made as we were walking back.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I'm not offended at all, because.
Speaker 16 (28:08):
That's people's emotion, and this is an emotional situation, and
so it's it's to be understood. However, I know what
we have done and in the amount of hours that
have been put into this process of trying to locate
miss Scott.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
Yeah, hopefully say the suspect in the case, twenty three
year old Keon King, could be tied to other killings.
And again, police have not officially confirmed the identity of
the remains, only that they were found in the same
area where miss Scott disappeared, and they have been focused
on that area for about two weeks.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
So people will continue to watch that.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Case I hate and despise humans like Keon King, Like
I really feel like you got to make examples out
of people who do things like this.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Man.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I mean, you know, I don't know what happened to
the young lady, the details of it, but clearly she
got you know, killed, and then you just disregard her
body like it's nothing, like you know what I mean,
Like I just don't even understand how people like that.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Operate, Like, I mean, how do you do that? And
then just go get a sandwich app? You know what
I'm saying?
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Like how exactly?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
So we will continue to watch that he's already been
found guilty of kidnapping her, and so once the medical
examiner does their job and they come back with the results,
we will definitely bring those to you guys.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
People like that, people like that don't ever deserve peace.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I hope that you know that young lady haunts him
for the rest of his life.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Absolutely so young too, all right, Well, from tragedy in
Philadelphia to high drama overseas, a story straight out of
a movie unfolding at the Louver in Paris. Now French
officials they say a team of four thieves they pulled
off a daring daytime heights at the Louver Museum in
Paris on Sunday, stealing royal jews, jewels once worn by
(29:50):
the Queen of France and other royal officials.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
The investigators say.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
The group arrived with power tools, a crane lift and
a getaway planned straight out of a heist film. So
they smash display cases from one of the museum's crown
jewel galleries.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
They threatened guards.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
They sped off on scooters, dropping some of the stolen
jewels along the way, including a crown that police later
recovered nearby. Now the seven minute break in, it happened
just as the museum opened at seven point thirty in
the morning, and officials say the thieves they use a
truck mounted crane to break in through the first window
first floor window, and they believe the group had scoped
out the site long before the robbery. Before fleeing, they
(30:28):
reportedly tried to set the crane on fire to destroy evidence.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Now, the stolen collection what they got away with.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Includes necklaces, earrings, tiaras once worn by members of the
French royal courts, treasures that officials describe as priceless. No
one was hurt, but the museum was evacuated and closed
for the rest of the day. And to put this
in context, the Louver is home to the Mona Lisa
and some of the world's most valuable arts.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I don't understand. I mean, they've tried before. The security
should be top notched, Like, there's no way that anybody
should be stealing those jewels and some of those pieces
them art, the facts that they have in there, that
that that doesn't even seem right. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Congratulations of those guys, man, that's impressive. That's a whole
little mini series right there.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
If I were to continued stealing out have probably been
on that level by now.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
They're smart for them to get that off and broad daylight.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I mean, come on, now, sometimes you gotta let people
get away with things just based off the degree of difficulty,
you know what, I mean, what do you do with it?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Because you can't sell it?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Who can?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Who can different sell it?
Speaker 10 (31:34):
Man?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Listen, they'll find that fast.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Get rich off of that stuff.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Trust me, they got a plan.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I gotta they probably got a biometic.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
They thought they thought this all the way through, you know,
I mean, listen, I don't believe in stealing, but when
they do stealing, it's impressive. At this level, you gotta
give it up for sometimes you gotta give a little
roud of applause, like wow, that was impressive thought that,
you know, like all right.
Speaker 17 (31:58):
Y'all, well that.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
It is impressive.
Speaker 13 (32:07):
But you know, we gonna say it's still wrong, so
you just see what happens.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Definitely wrong. It's definitely wrong.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
So we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 9 (32:15):
They they said that there are cameras all over and
so they expect an arrest soon.
Speaker 7 (32:19):

indeed we got Gucci mane. Thank you, wife, Welcome, how
y'all feeling, y'all look amazing, thank you new book out episodes.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yes, Man, I thoroughly enjoyed your book, Gucci Man, because
you know, we give people props when we were younger
for being real and a lot of things that we
say is real. It's like when somebody gangster with somebody,
you know, we call them tough. But to me, the
most realist thing you could do as you get older
just be vulnerable, you know what I mean, and go
on to.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Journey of healing and share that journey with people. And
you definitely did that in this book.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Thank you. I appreciate that I always see you talking
about mental health while be listening to y'all. You always
championing mental health, you know what I'm saying. So that's
my I said, make sure y'all get that book to
Charlota Magne before I come up there.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Absolutely I knew he was gonna read it. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So what got you to the point where he said,
this is the time to share the story because most
people will say, like, you know, I don't want to
share that story. It might be embarrassing, it might make
me look this way, but you were open and completely
open about it. What got you to that point was like, this.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Is the time I had when I had an episode
on like twenty nineteen or twenty twenty round COVID, and
that was just like after that, I was like, man,
I gotta really just hold myself accountable and take care
of my health. I don't never want to have an
episode again. I'm like, I'm gonna see a therapist. If
I had to take medicine, I just I kind of
like through the towelnd like, you know what I need
to do to get better. I just did never want
(34:13):
to have that happen again. And then my wife was
pregnant with my little boy, and I'm like, I don't
never want to I don't want to raise a family.
And then my mental health gone with. If I have
an episode, I can't come back from you know what
I'm saying. So I just like starting to do the
work and like start seeking the help.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Keisha, I'm glad you here because we always have conversations
about the people who have to deal with the individuals
with the mental mental health issues.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
It feels like nobody else speaks to y'all.
Speaker 17 (34:40):
It's tough.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
What what made you not run?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Because you could have ran, You could have been like,
I'm not this ain't for me, but you still ten
toes down and say I'm gone.
Speaker 18 (34:49):
I experienced him going through episodes before we were married,
and I was like, man, somebody gotta help this guy.
Speaker 17 (34:56):
It was really, really bad. It's really sad.
Speaker 18 (34:58):
Because you're seeing some when you don't know they're saying
things to you that are disrespectful, so mean, and you
have to just like, but I'm not talking to Gucci,
who is this person? So I felt like if I left,
he wouldn't have been the same. He needed someone to
help him. And then when we were supposed to get married,
someone said to me, you know you're going to have
(35:19):
to deal with this through your marriage, right, And I'm like,
I'm cool with it.
Speaker 17 (35:22):
I'm going to fix him.
Speaker 13 (35:23):
You know how heavy was that for you? Though, because
the fixing isn't like an overnight thing. I saw Gucci
you did a big facts and you were talking about
how one time you said to him, I should record
this so that you can see because he wouldn't even
remember some of the things he was doing, but it
would like you'd be like, oh my god, like what's
happening right now? How heavy was it in the process
of trying to help him get back.
Speaker 18 (35:43):
It was one point I had to just go on
my knees and pray because it's like he's like I
don't like you. I mean, the things he would say
are really really bad, and I just have to like
take a deep breath. Like I said, I'm not talking
to you right now. You want to sit here and
be crazy alone, I'm not going to allow you.
Speaker 17 (35:59):
To be crazy alone. So like I have to like
set a plan up.
Speaker 18 (36:04):
Like at one point, I called his attorney, I called
some bodyguards, and I just planned a whole kidnap and
we kidnapped him and took him to the hospital because
we could not get him to the hospital. But he
was trying to fight them and everything, but it was
six of them. He couldn't handle it, and we threw
him in the car. He would try to jump out
the car, so we put him in the center of
the car, you know, And that was like his last
(36:25):
episode when you go to the Yeah, but they try
to do things where he could sign himself out and
I'm like, he's not signed, Like I'm stern with him.
He's not signing himself out. I'm his wife and I'm
his far of attorney. He ain't going nowhere Like.
Speaker 17 (36:41):
I have to be strict. It's kind of like you
have to go in mother mode, you know, and put
your foot down.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Were you ever scared?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
I wasn't never.
Speaker 18 (36:49):
Scared he would hurt me. People were scared for me.
But it's a scary moment.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
As I asked her that was she scared, she was like,
I'm not scared of you.
Speaker 17 (36:58):
I tell him all the time during it, I'm not
scared you.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
So you we gonna figure this out, like I have
to get gangsterill with him because he and I'm like,
all right, we gonna see.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Let's do this.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
And the ice Cream Fever Dreams Chapter guc You said
that the only you said when you need help, the
only person you can rely on is yourself.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yes, Why did you feel that way in that moment?
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Because that's how I felt, especially like you're really the
only person you can Like, you gotta do the work yourself.
You know what I'm saying. If you want to like
really get better, people can want it for you. But
you still gotta want it more than they do. You
know what I'm saying. You gotta want, you gotta do
the work, you gotta live with it, you know what
I'm saying. So that's probably why I said that.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
The reason I asked is because you start the book
off talking about Big Scar, and you know you and
Ke should definitely help Big Scar in that moment when
he was having an episode.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yes, I mean you did help somebody.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
I was trying my best to say Scar. I'll try
my best to say Scar, and like even he was
a big inspiration for the book as well. But what
was like when I reached out to my right the
co writer Cat and writing a book. I was telling
her about you know, like how hw I helped Scott
and you know, my wife was talking to me, but
she was on like I wouldn't even let Scott know
that she was telling me the stuff to tell him
(38:08):
it like while we're writing a book, like discussing the
book and just going over how we're gonna make it.
Scott died, so I hear her like you know, Scott
had passed away. It was all it went for him
being an inspiration. Before I can finish the book he
passed away. So that was just super deep and then
made me like, I gotta do this. I gotta even
be more vulnerable because I'm gonna help people that I
don't even know I was, because I was trying to
help somebody who was so close to me, you know
(38:28):
what I'm saying. And I didn't even and I didn't succeed.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know when you break down in the book that
September thirteenth episode, right, Yeah, and you said you don't
even remember a lot of the things that you said.
Did you have to go back and say, you know what,
let me fix some of those situations? Yes? And who
did you called first to say let me fix that?
Cause we were on there that morning and we just remembers,
like damn, Gucci just going crazy on everybody and the
sad week, and the sad thing about it is for
(38:55):
media pressed, it's like that's gold at first, like oh
this that, and the other day when you sit back
and look at to be like damn, like maybe we
shouldn't have went that hard and promoted because we can
see now that he was going through episode So.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
About the media's role in that, Yeah, But the answer envy,
I was super embarrassed and hurt by the things I
said because like I wasn't well then, right, So then
I got locked up. So a lot of those people
who I was saying stuff too, they were like, I ain't.
They never gonna mess with me no more. So even
when I got out three years later, I still was like,
I apologize to Ross, Drake, Nikki like all them. People
(39:29):
accept my apologies. They just don't know. It's like a
weight off my shoulders because I had been like because
I was wrong, Like Ross hadn't did nothing but helped me,
you know what I'm saying. And I said something about him,
Burt Man that all this stuff for me, Why would
I say something about him? So I felt bad, you
know what I'm saying. I felt terribly bad, and it
was just eat me. It was like it was super
heavy on me, you know what I'm saying. So I
apologize to everybody. Everybody that would have scept my apology
(39:52):
that I apologized, everybody who would acept my call. I
apologize to you. Just think anybody who I was dissing,
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
When you see artists doing that, now, do you know
exactly what they're going through?
Speaker 6 (40:03):
Yes, we were like since it's going through episode. I
can see it because because I'd have been through it,
and I'm like, I be feeling sorry for him, you
know what I'm saying. But because I see the media,
they just go with it like this person like mad
or they being you know, like mean or whatever. But
they be like going through something really mental. It'd be
some mental help stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Do you reach out to any of those artists I'm.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
Trying to think, did I reach out now? I don't
do a lot of reaching out because some of them,
like I feel like they wouldn't be accepting of it,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
But because you know, you wouldn't be accepted at the
point at that.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
Time, Yeah, at that point you can't. You can't really
talk to them like that. But like my wife said,
I wish I could talk to the people that know
them to tell them how to help them, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 18 (40:43):
I tried to reach out to Kim when Kanye was
going through an episode. It bothered me so much, but
I don't know her and I didn't want.
Speaker 17 (40:50):
To feel like a groupie.
Speaker 18 (40:51):
Yeah, so I tried to send messages to people. I
never succeeded. But this was during their marriage. I'm like, damn,
I want to talk to her so bad, like I
can help you, but I never was successful.
Speaker 13 (41:01):
We talked about that on air the other day because
she sat down with her daddy and talked about what
it was like on the inside by also trying to
protect their public image in the way she thought people
would look at her if she decided to leave.
Speaker 8 (41:13):
For you, what was it like, I mean could talk
about Kim.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
What was it like?
Speaker 13 (41:17):
Just trying to protect the business that you guys have built. Wow,
I have a personally. I take his apps off his phone.
Speaker 17 (41:24):
First thing I do.
Speaker 18 (41:24):
I delete Instagram, I delete everything. Even if I got
to change his password, I'm changing it because I don't
need the public to know he's having an episode. And
now before the episodes come, I catch it. So that's
why he hasn't had another one. And how you catch
that is he doesn't speak to you, he wants to
be left alone. He don't eat, he does not sleep.
Text messages there's a period after each word, and I'm like,
(41:49):
you're going through an episode.
Speaker 17 (41:50):
You're sick. No, I'm not, ain't and wrong with me?
Speaker 18 (41:53):
Why do you think that you're not speaking to me, well,
there's nothing to talk about.
Speaker 17 (41:56):
I said, well, that's not how you speak to your wife.
And I'm like, you're sick and we snap out of
it right then?
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Wow, wow, Keisha, do you wish you around? When you
know I look at Gucci and if you really think
about all the artists that he has touched and could
have signed, he could have been bigger than any label
out there. If you go through them. We can go
from from Thug to Waka, to the Migos to the list.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Goes on and on and on. Do you think we
had Walker Wago?
Speaker 14 (42:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Do you think if I was there I could have
helped him build that empire because he could have been
really like an Atlanta death Chain.
Speaker 18 (42:28):
A thousand person even like we had this conversation many
years ago. I said, Gucci, you just have to accept
that you are not well and fix it.
Speaker 17 (42:36):
Just accept it. I said, people take tal n all
every day.
Speaker 18 (42:39):
Just take your medication every day.
Speaker 17 (42:41):
You'll be fine.
Speaker 18 (42:42):
Just accept that you're sick, fix it and you'll be okay.
And absolutely, he had so many artists from back in
the day, and because of this, you know, they re
signed with other people or whatever the situation is. And
it pisses me off because none of them respects him.
I don't or give him the credit like Gucci's me.
Gucci's the one that got me out the slum. Gucci's
the one that changed my life. None of them talks
(43:04):
about that, not.
Speaker 17 (43:05):
One of them.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
It's that ball because it's it's a lot of artists
that are multi platinum that are still selling records that
you were the first person to give an opportunity to.
We can name a listen if the list goes on
and on.
Speaker 6 (43:16):
I feel like, you know, I had to hold myself accountable.
I got locked up. I messed up the opportunity, you
know what I'm saying. But I'm not saying that they
don't have to pay me how much I appreciate it,
you know what I'm saying. But it's like that's part
of how I was raised, Just who I am. I
get fulfillment out of hipping artists, you know what I'm saying.
I was reaching met out to them, trying to help
them because I saw talent in them and not just
Southern artists, not just Southern artists, DJ whatever. That's just
(43:39):
like who I am, you know what I'm saying, Like
I'm an open door studio. I'm gonna bring people in.
I'm gonna work with the up and coming. That's what
I like to do. You get what I'm saying. If
it didn't work out the way it did because I
got locked up, I got to say, Hey, I got
myself locked up. You know, I messed that up. But
since then, I've been doing I've been doing well. Since
I got out, I've been on it, you know what
I'm saying, been a whole different. Everything been going good.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
I always wondered, did any of those artists reach out
when you were locked up and said, let me help?
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Damn, let me say this.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Though she said nope, let me say this.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
It is still kind of like paying it forward because
when I got an all those artists did come back
and do songs with me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
But when you down, did they help?
Speaker 6 (44:14):
They didn't.
Speaker 17 (44:16):
They don't acknowledge him.
Speaker 18 (44:17):
He doesn't care or feel that way, but from the
outside looking in, they should acknowledge him.
Speaker 17 (44:23):
You know, I feel like.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
Gucci gets looked at as a hip hop pillar, though
I feel like he's like, look, I feel like Gucci.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Gets just do as an iconic figure. And hip hop
and all the artists he put on No but.
Speaker 18 (44:36):
Would you like to see Key like I would like them,
all of them to acknowledge him, even if they win
an award. Acknowledge him because he gave you the stomping ground.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Most people don't know Nicki Minaj came out of that
camp French Montana. Half those people we know, but most
people don't know that. Migosgosuff like most.
Speaker 17 (44:56):
People because they don't say it.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
I love loved the chapter Pills and posting too, because
you said you feel guilty for making the song Pills,
because you made a whole generation start getting high on pills.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
How do you rectify that guilt.
Speaker 6 (45:12):
I can live with it now because it's like it
is the what it is, you know what I'm saying.
But back then, I know that I like made a
lot of people use drugs. I talked about drugs, drugs, drugs,
drugs all through my music because that's what I was
on back then. And I'm just like, damn, I know
I made a whole bunch of people think pills was cool.
I know that for a fact. You know what I'm saying,
and that ain't nothing. I'm just super proud of you know,
but what can I do? It's in the past now.
(45:32):
And at the same time it was I was also
a user too, so I was going through.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
It with them. The interesting thing about that chapter two,
you said that your whole team didn't like that song.
Speaker 6 (45:42):
They didn't.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
I'm old because I'm sure some of them was on
pills too, So what was it just they didn't.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
Like when I first, like even when I had like
one foot then one foot out. A lot of my
guys who were hustling. We used to think I would like,
my crew are hustling, but it's they just think like
pills and stuff like that was like jacket stuff, you
know what I'm saying. They thinking like, if you do coke,
eat like a jacket, you take pills, you're a jackie.
They all that was cool with with smoking weed, even
taking a dragon lane. They thought it was some jagging stuff, right,
(46:06):
So they really they said, take away from the money,
you see what I'm saying. So it's like, if you're
doing if you're taking pills, you supposed to be selling
the pills. So when I came out with pills, they
went with that. They was like, bro, what you making
a song? About taking pills for me. Then the song
ended up blowing up, but there was like they didn't
like the song.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Yeap when you did versus? Right, what was your mind
framed during versus and Keisha when he you knew he
was doing versus against somebody that was his arch enemy
at the time, right, what was your mind frame because
you knew at any moment it could have went back.
Speaker 8 (46:36):
Did you want him to do it?
Speaker 17 (46:37):
I told him not to.
Speaker 18 (46:39):
I said, you're not doing that. I said, I will
pay you a million dollars not to do this.
Speaker 6 (46:43):
She told me that it'swear to God. Like I tell
you a million dollars not to do the verses. I'm like,
I'm gonna do the verses.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
So how for people that don't know, how did that
verses come about? And what was your mind to do
the souls that you did in that moment, because I mean,
I think everybody felt it. People that were they were.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Like, oh, this is gonna end up nasty.
Speaker 6 (47:03):
Well, I'm trying to think. I heard I seen the
interview what Jesus saying like if I do it versus,
I want to do it with Gucci.
Speaker 10 (47:10):
Right.
Speaker 6 (47:11):
So after that he had hit me like bro you
heard Jesus say he wanted to do a verse with you,
would you do it? And I was like, I don't
know if I do that. I don't know if I
want to do no verse. I ain't really really yet.
Then he came back like, bro, I think this would
be big if you do it. So next thing, you know,
Swiss and Larry Jackson end up hearing me and we
end up doing We're gonna do the verses right, And
my mind frame going into it was like it's going
(47:32):
it was. I was excited about it, like because all
the previous verses were so big. So I'm like, man,
it's dope. You know what I'm saying. It's gonna be
big for me. Everybody gonna be like my catalog gonna
go up, people gonna just so I was looking and
I was excited about it.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
And when oh, actually Gesz said, he said here on
Breakfast Club, he wanted to do it with you, but
you turned it down.
Speaker 19 (47:52):
I mean, I mean to be honest with you, like
from what I hear he did respectfully the client, which
I respect. You know what I'm saying, no, no disrespect,
And you know, I guess he looked the way I
look at it just like yo, bro, like, ain't nobody
else they want to see us with and for once,
at least mentally it can be about the music and
you know, instead of it just being me and him
(48:14):
and our personal feelings. Is like, now you got the
world watching. So as a man, I wasn't gonna not
do it because of what happened, because that's what the
platform was for.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
That's what that conversation was that was back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (48:27):
I don't think I turned it down. I don't think
I think I turned out during Versus period, but I
was open to do the verses when they finally broke
it down to me, like okay, just the business about it,
this going, all this good can come out of it,
and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
Did y'all think it was KESHI? You didn't want to
do it because you knew he could potentially have an
episode of.
Speaker 17 (48:44):
No, I just don't trust it. I don't know.
Speaker 18 (48:47):
God forbid GC go say the wrong thing and things
pop off.
Speaker 17 (48:52):
I ain't got the time.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
WI were you when he was doing Versus?
Speaker 17 (48:54):
I was pregnant at home.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
No, he didn't want me there, So you were watching it.
Speaker 18 (48:58):
My hands was wet and I'm nervous. I'm like, Lord,
Jesus helped me.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
He did that song. What were you thinking when he
did that song? What do you think that that song?
Speaker 2 (49:06):
Like?
Speaker 18 (49:06):
Oh my, I'm just like this, like every like any
normal person. I'm in the bed watching it like everybody else, scared.
Speaker 13 (49:13):
And Jesus you said you were lucky that Sorry, sorry, sorry,
Gucci you said that you were happy that Jeez took
the moment to kind of like kind of shift the energy.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
I would say, in hindsight, I'm like, I respect the
what he did, what he said, you know what I'm saying,
And uh, you know what he said made sense, you
know what I'm saying. But at that moment, in the moment,
like he's at the moment, I was thinking, like I'm
happy he said that. The moment, I was just like, man,
what is he talking about? You know what I'm saying,
Let's get on to the what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
I ain't.
Speaker 6 (49:43):
But when I look back on and I'm like, that
was smart. You know what I'm saying. That was smart
and it was deep.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
Did y'all speak before y'all did diversity person y'all just
speak before here. How was that conversation with that the
first time y'all spoke throughout the years.
Speaker 6 (49:55):
Of Man One. It was funny because we seen it,
y'a on the airplane, right. He was sitting in my seat.
That's the crazy y'all. He's sitting in my seat, right,
So I'm like, damn, I don't even want to talk
to him, but I got to tell this dude.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
Get out of my seat.
Speaker 6 (50:10):
So it like, I'm like, hey, man, you see you
gotta get out of my seat. But he see who
it is. He like, well, I'm sitting in the same seat.
Can't you sit in mine? Like, nah, I can't sit
in your seat. You just got to get up. There
was the conversation we had.
Speaker 19 (50:23):
If anybody else you probably be like, God, go ahead,
I got you got.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
To get up. You got to get up.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
And he don't want to get up.
Speaker 6 (50:29):
I can't cause I can't. My probably won't let me
say that you're in my seat, and I just okay,
I'm gonna sit over here. Yeah, no, dog, get up.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Won't allow him to be like man Man told me
to get.
Speaker 6 (50:38):
Up, and he got up and moved.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
He got up and move.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
That's funny because I remember fifty John said the first
time they see each other was on a flight. They
were both it's like you can't wild out there, so
you gotta be easy.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
But No, in your first book, you said, y'all had
dinner somewhere before.
Speaker 6 (50:54):
No, we we we met up at a restaurant. YEP,
so we had met before. But I'm saying this sin
is how I got out. That was like we met
at that restaurant way way back, that was like twenty
ten or like that.
Speaker 8 (51:07):
What is it like now?
Speaker 13 (51:08):
Like have you guys spoken sense versus and you know,
both of y'all are so evolved at this point.
Speaker 6 (51:13):
I did an interview on Big Fast and I'm like,
it ain't really been no disrespect since then. Everybody everything cool,
but you know they were okay.
Speaker 8 (51:19):
I saw you say that.
Speaker 13 (51:20):
Going to East Atlanta sometimes like triggers different episodes for
you and you can talk about that.
Speaker 17 (51:26):
Were you about to say something.
Speaker 6 (51:27):
No, say it does trigger me going to Eastern Lima.
Speaker 8 (51:29):
What in writing this.
Speaker 13 (51:30):
Book, what other things from your upbringing did you realize, like, oh,
that was one of my triggers of these episodes and
I didn't even know, like family stuff or just you know,
stuff from like.
Speaker 6 (51:38):
Young Yeah, like uh, stuff with my mom triggers me. Uh,
we had a lot of screen relationship. Uh stuff for
my youth triggered me. You know, old friendships you know
that went sour. There's a lot of stuff can be triggered.
Speaker 3 (51:55):
I get.
Speaker 6 (51:55):
You know, some songs even trigger me, you know, just
from like you said, like screen relationships, like even here
so icy. I don't like hearing so icy.
Speaker 3 (52:03):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (52:04):
You know it's kind of like a trigger. State scrapped
would be a trigger, you know what I'm saying, Hearing
that like I got ten K on your body, like
the wis side probably couldn't have took that, you know,
like that would have triggered me.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
You don't do those songs.
Speaker 6 (52:16):
You don't do them songs.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
What trick is you?
Speaker 12 (52:18):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (52:18):
East land On? What is it? Burma? Alabama?
Speaker 6 (52:24):
I would say East Atlanta, but I don't want to.
I don't want to. Besma kind of depresses me because
it's like when you go down there, it's so like
it's like damn. You know what I'm saying. It's it's
like damn, it's it's a tough place to grow up at.
And when I go back. There's like it dawn to
make me cry just looking at the buildings and that
because you're from a small town like I'm from. It's
(52:46):
so small and rural and like you know, it's there's
no money down there, you know what I'm saying. So
it just looked it feels dark. East Atlanta is just dangerous.
It's still dangerous. Is always gonna be dan it just
when I go there, just make me try. It made
me like I just it. I almost turned to a
different person, like the coners, the blocks, just I just
(53:07):
just reliving all the stuff I did on those blocks,
you know, the people there. It's just I try to
stay away from trickles.
Speaker 3 (53:15):
And you say, you're even reading the book and seeing
the effects that like systemic racism had on you, Like
watching the KKK, you know, March to Your Time?
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Is that still a trigger?
Speaker 6 (53:24):
It kind of is?
Speaker 2 (53:25):
It is?
Speaker 16 (53:27):
It is?
Speaker 6 (53:28):
I still like hold some of that stuff in me,
you know what I'm saying that I seen when I
was young from best one. That's why I kept my
label ten seventeen because I'm like, I don't never want
to forget. Even though I was raised in Atlanta, people
always associate me with Atlanta. I never want to forget,
you know, the life I led there, and I never
want to forget like my family then what they going through.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
You said during the Big Facts interview that the police
you feel like they still have it out for you
in Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (53:53):
I feel like they did they did back when I
first got I feel like because they used to do
stuff like you know what I'm saying, Like I would
be when I first had got out of jail. I
would go places and the police would just run my name,
you know what I'm saying. And then I was on probation,
So my probation, but I was like, hey, did you
go to such and such because the police ran your
name and there, like they were just trying to see
if I get They just they just it's just too much.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
So what do you tell artists like your thugs and
your little babies that probably feel the same way as you,
You say it might be time to get tout Atalanta.
Speaker 6 (54:21):
I told the baby that I've been told the baby,
hey man, he might be too big for the city,
might need to move, you know what I'm saying. I
never got a chance to tell a thud that, but
I definitely told baby that before.
Speaker 13 (54:29):
Because he used to be there, the baby used to
be there, just walking around like regularly, like grocery stores
and everything.
Speaker 6 (54:34):
Because he's so comfortable. I got to comfort that, like
even time I went. If I'm in Atlanta and I
have an episode, I go straight to my block because
I know that block like the back of my hand.
I'm always like, I always go there. It's just like
the for me, it's like it's two for me for me,
you know what I'm saying, It's two for me. Sometimes
something too for me for you. You got to get
away from that because it's too much comfort them. It
(54:55):
ain't no growth in comfort. I need to be well,
like I'm held the count of plan you can get
held account of if I go to these lane coming,
we coming. All I got to do is just stand
on the block.
Speaker 3 (55:05):
I want to ask you, Keisha, how do you how
do you define recovery? Because you're seeing him matters worse
and now you're seeing him at his best, So how
would you define recovery for somebody that is dealing with
somebody who's trying to recover from their mental health issues.
Speaker 17 (55:18):
The first thing you need is medication.
Speaker 18 (55:20):
You cannot it cannot go on medicated, and the quicker
the better, because once they're medicated, they usually get better
in like two weeks. It's not it's not overnight. It's
literally like fourteen days for them to.
Speaker 17 (55:34):
Be back to normal.
Speaker 18 (55:35):
So for him, like let's say he started his medication
after an episode, he started his medication today, right three
days later, he'd be like, oh, my wife, you're so beautiful.
I could tell by his words that he's getting better.
And then tomorrow he might say who, and I'm like, oh,
he's not better yet.
Speaker 17 (55:52):
Like I could just tell by his tone.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
Who do you talk to?
Speaker 7 (55:55):
Keish?
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Like, who do you have a therapist?
Speaker 17 (55:57):
No, I'm the therapist. He'll tell you.
Speaker 18 (56:02):
I'm like a real therapist. I know how to speak
to him. You have to speak calm, you cannot scream.
Sometimes you have to agree with what he's saying. Like
he'll say give me five hundred grand and I'm like, okay,
I don't do it.
Speaker 17 (56:14):
But I say okay, whatever he asks for, I say yes,
but I don't do it. But you can't go against them.
Speaker 18 (56:20):
So he'll text somebody and cuss them out, and I'll
go back to his phone and I'll say block him
he's having an episode, so I just I'm just a
clean up lady.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
I hate this.
Speaker 6 (56:29):
I gotta say this. Remember Julia Greenwall used to be
the head of Atlanta. I had an episode and said
so much bad stud of Judah.
Speaker 2 (56:36):
I said that.
Speaker 6 (56:37):
When I came from I said, listen, Julu, Now, if
I text you anything crazy, block me for block me,
and I don't call me for two days and call
my wife because this episode comes because I ain't want
to lose my position as label going through episode. And
I'm like, if you just see, like, if you see
like the text is getting crazy, just block me because
(56:57):
I don't want to come tell you. I start saying
stuff so bad.
Speaker 2 (57:00):
It's like you can't come back Fromhimuci, We've seen it before, Gucci. Yeah,
but how do you protect your peace though?
Speaker 14 (57:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (57:09):
Like you, because there has to be times where you
feel like the walls are just caving in because it's
so much and it's so personal for you.
Speaker 18 (57:15):
Honestly, I during the moment, I'm kind of like stressed out.
Speaker 17 (57:20):
I'm a prayer warrior.
Speaker 18 (57:21):
I just pray, and once he starts getting better, honestly,
I'm okay. And he doesn't stay sick long like I said,
it takes fourteen days to get him back, and after
like day three, he's already come into his senses. But
those deep episodes won't happen ever. Again, we're in twenty five,
(57:41):
so the last one was five years ago. He had
a mild one coming maybe two years ago, and I
caught it. So now I catch them before they come,
and like people be saying stuff about him, like, oh,
he's sawft, he's thisy that the madman is still there.
So I try my best. I don't want them to
provoke him because it will come back. Yeah, and he's
very dangerous, So y'all listen, please leave him alone because
(58:05):
the mad Max.
Speaker 17 (58:06):
Is still in the head.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
When I when I saw young thugs say that, I
was just like, man, you know thug is just young, Yeah,
ain't he's just grown grown.
Speaker 13 (58:16):
I thought it was hearing you talk about why you
called young thugs so quick when he dropped the miss
my dogs because you understood what that apology like you
were there. I thought that was like, really, it was
really great to hear. What was y'all conversation?
Speaker 5 (58:28):
Like I didn't call him, I just forget I just
him saying I forgive Oh so y'all didn't actually never talk.
Oh wow, so he found out you forgive him on
that interview.
Speaker 1 (58:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (58:37):
Has he reached out to you since the interview?
Speaker 6 (58:39):
To be honest, he was like he hit me, like
let's let's let's talk. But I didn't really want to talk.
But I do forgive him. I just didn't want to talk.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Yeah, I understand. I'm the saying where I can forgive you,
but still there's certain times I just I just don't need.
Speaker 18 (58:54):
That time.
Speaker 1 (58:55):
Do you mind being the OGI? And the reason I
say that is is you look at it and you
see everything that Atlanta is going through. Gucci is that
one person that can stop it? Or I think because
every artist in Atlanta respects you, do you do you
mind that that label as the OGI that can do that?
Or you just say, you know what I do?
Speaker 6 (59:13):
You know what I'm saying, Like I've been in the
game twenty years from now, so like I embraced that.
You know, I'm not the high artists trying to drop off,
you know, the hottest single every year and do all that.
You know, I want to be the person that they
can come to and talk to.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
Would you want to do that with everything that's going
on in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (59:29):
I would. I would.
Speaker 6 (59:31):
I feel like if they would come to me, but
they don't want to come. I feel like people don't
come to me for advice because it's like even with
my own artists, it's like a lot of them, you know,
don't come to me because it's like talking to your dad.
I ain't got nothing but positive to say. I'm trying
to lead by example and I'm gonna tell you, like
you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't. So they don't even
want to talk to me.
Speaker 1 (59:48):
They would, they'd love to talk to old Gucci, want to.
Speaker 6 (59:51):
I want to talk to Guca. Ain't really gotten that
going on. He go to sleep at eight thirty, Like
you know, not.
Speaker 2 (59:57):
What emotional release did? Did writing this book give you
that music?
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
Because so I'm more proud of this book than I'm
probably in the album I ever put out, because, like
you said, it's kind of like talking about stuff that
I used to be kind of like I had a
stigma of you know what I'm saying, you got mental health?
You crazy. It's like I used to be embarrassed about
some of these situations, and I didn't used to want
to talk about it. But now I'm confident in talking
about it because I know that I can help somebody else.
(01:00:20):
And it's like I don't even feel I don't feel
no shame no more.
Speaker 13 (01:00:25):
And the conversations that you've been having recently, you know,
have you begin to help people in that space where
you're like, yo, I.
Speaker 6 (01:00:31):
Did it, like everybody people. I did a book signing
in Atlanta and a lot of folks are coming up
to me saying, hey, you know, thank you for this book.
I've been sober eight years, or thank you for this book.
You know I got bipolar. Thank you for this book,
my friend. You know what I'm saying, be going through
episodes like I was getting a lot of it, and
it felt good to feel that love. You know what
I'm saying, It really did.
Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Are you still surprised about the love? I heard you
say something. You were in Miami do the book Sartning
and you were surprised about that. How many people came
up to me and asked for an autograph for your book.
But then I'm thinking about it, I'm like, you just
did South Carolina Cone coming that with so loud.
Speaker 6 (01:01:03):
You just did this show that was so loud, so
like it's different when they come up like with that book.
I don't know why, but it's like the book signing
saying when they saying about your book, you know, I've
been rocking with you, said I was in junior high.
You know, you got me through college. Like it just
the energy, it was like it made me feel good.
I ain't felt that in a long time, you know,
like touching the people, shaking their hand, taking the selfie
(01:01:25):
with them. It's like when you do that at about
two three hundred people and they're telling you that you
can't do nothing but feel good.
Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
That's what I'm said. You're like a mythical figure into
a whole generation. You got sexy Red calling yourself the
female Gucci man. South Carolina State, them kids asked for you. Yeah,
like I've seen the list. I'm like, I don't even
know who that is. It was about five. I'm like,
I don't know who these people are, but they're like, oh,
Gucci man, I know Gucci, Like they wanted you at
South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
How did that make you feel on the whole generation?
And how that feel good?
Speaker 6 (01:01:53):
I feel good when I go through this. I've been
doing a lot of college. I do Norfolk State on Tuesday,
but every time I go to the college in there,
like the kids know all the words. You know what
I'm saying. The nineteen years old like, bro, you still
touching people nineteen years old? They know this song. They
singing songs that came out of two thousand and five,
two thousand and sixs how old were out there? So
that feel good?
Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
I make you feel keys you when you see Sexy
Red callsself the female Gucci, I love it.
Speaker 18 (01:02:17):
I love when younger artists pay homage to him, like
I be in the background, like when people don't pay
homage to him or true respect, I be mad.
Speaker 17 (01:02:27):
He don't get mad or whatever.
Speaker 18 (01:02:29):
But I watch everything online and I analyze it, and
if anybody go against him, I'm going against them too.
Speaker 13 (01:02:36):
I was going to ask does the book because you said,
you know, seeing people come up to you with the book,
it's like a great feeling for you.
Speaker 8 (01:02:43):
Does the book make you feel like a superhero versus
like music didn't?
Speaker 13 (01:02:47):
Because we talked about like our og like rappers being
like superhero sis, which a lot of people I feel
like they look at you that way.
Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
I'm super proud of being the author. You know what
I'm saying. I read a lot of books.
Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
I read.
Speaker 6 (01:02:56):
People just don't know it about me, But I read
a ton of books. You know what I'm saying. I
probably read two three books a month.
Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
You know what I'm saying, Big Malcolm glad Wolf, a huge.
Speaker 6 (01:03:07):
Big mocol Glad Weell fan. You know what I'm saying.
He just did a book frange at the type of
point that I read that I love. You know, but
I'm proud of being an author because I love books
and so it's like it's a different thing to being
a rapper. You know what I'm saying. I want to
make some more books. I like being a prolific author.
I'm trying to have more books than Charlemagne. Yeah, I
got three yet I want to see write a book.
Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
I really do, because I'm telling you, people who have
to deal with those of us with mental health issues
don't tell their stories enough.
Speaker 18 (01:03:38):
Yeah, I think it's harder being me than him going
through an episode because it's scary, like like we had
a condo when we were on like the Penthouse, and
I'm like, is he gonna jump?
Speaker 17 (01:03:49):
Is the voice gonna tell him to jump?
Speaker 18 (01:03:52):
Like that's the scary part, not me being scared of
him hurting me so like during episodes, I make sure
no one is around him with guns, knives, high buildings.
But he wouldn't leave that. That's where I had to
kidnap him from. He would not leave there. He wouldn't
come to the house. And I'm like, I had to
get like a babysitter for him because he hated me
different episodes. He hate different people that if you have
(01:04:13):
an episode where he hates me, that's a problem.
Speaker 17 (01:04:17):
He hated me. He wouldn't come home.
Speaker 18 (01:04:19):
He got the damn balcony, and I'm like, is the
voice gonna tell him? I can't sleep at night?
Speaker 17 (01:04:23):
I have to what is he doing?
Speaker 18 (01:04:24):
Now?
Speaker 17 (01:04:25):
Did he eat today?
Speaker 18 (01:04:26):
Like I have to play games with his friends from
Atlanta who he want to be with. And and then
I'm like, don't give him any wee throw it in
the garbage.
Speaker 17 (01:04:33):
They called me back. Oh he needs beat. I gave
him weet today. I said, no, you didn't, you know,
like stuff like that. It's hard.
Speaker 18 (01:04:39):
It's so so, so so stressful, like you want to cry.
And I cannot read that book. It's too sad, it's
too much for me. It's too I don't read it.
Speaker 17 (01:04:49):
I read probably like three pages and I had to quit.
Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
What about you to relive all of it all night.
Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
A minute.
Speaker 6 (01:05:01):
My autobigraphy almost made me cry, and this book almost
made me cry, almost made him cry.
Speaker 18 (01:05:07):
I book was putting himrough an episode that I called.
Speaker 17 (01:05:09):
It at day one.
Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
So revisiting the trauma, yes, it puts him back.
Speaker 6 (01:05:15):
Bro, I can't lie, especially the best Alabama part, Like damn,
that take me back down?
Speaker 7 (01:05:20):
You know.
Speaker 6 (01:05:20):
It's like then I started thinking about you know, when
I was young, my granddad and my mom, like, damn,
we was poor. And I'm like, I don't I don't
think about that no more. You know what I'm saying?
That was like I know it was poor, but like
that not well when you go back to think about it, Damn, man,
the racist ad time poor as hell, you know, staying
with my granddady, me and my mom, my brother's like
we ain't have we have?
Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
So how do you protect yourself while revisiting that trumpa
and on a press run and how do you how
do you protect well?
Speaker 17 (01:05:48):
The press run doesn't bother him.
Speaker 18 (01:05:50):
It's just like when he was writing the book, because
he has to keep saying these things over and over
and over.
Speaker 17 (01:05:55):
And actually this was my idea.
Speaker 18 (01:05:57):
I was like, you need to do a movie called
episode and let people know what's going on. I said,
I can tell you everything you've done through your episodes
because he doesn't remember.
Speaker 17 (01:06:07):
And I was telling him how to make the movie.
Speaker 18 (01:06:09):
And that's how that's how we started the book, because
she told me to make a movie as soon as
you have the episode.
Speaker 17 (01:06:13):
I was like, this, people need to see that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
We all married the beautiful black woman. But I want Gucci.
You tell me how important is it to have a
good woman.
Speaker 6 (01:06:20):
Man, It's the most important thing you can have, the
best decision you can make. My best decision ever was
to marry her and be with her.
Speaker 18 (01:06:27):
Right.
Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
I got somebody to you know, whole mail accountable, and
I got somebody you know, watch TV with. Sometimes that's
all you want to do, cheer bro. I'm kind of like,
I don't really need a lot.
Speaker 18 (01:06:39):
Like we're just like best friends and we just home
just chilling and we everything we do we have it
in common, like the same food, the same shows.
Speaker 8 (01:06:48):
We both.
Speaker 14 (01:06:51):
Like to just go to.
Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
If you could redefine what it means to be real
in hip hop culture, what new code would you give
that this new generation?
Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
Man, I let them know, like they talking about their hood,
but the best hood is fatherhood. That's that's what I'm
most proud of. You know what I'm saying. I love
I love being called dad. You know, I love being
a present dad. That's like I didn't even know that
it was. There's so much joy and raising kids that
it is. But you know what I'm saying, like raising
the family has changed me. It has changed for the better.
Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
I always want to say the biggest thing that made
me so happy. When you see Gucci talking about his kids,
I don't know if you see the smile on his
start smile, start grinning, he like, I can't wait to
get back and get to my.
Speaker 17 (01:07:37):
Like that is the biggest thing him right now, He'll.
Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Do you feel like a.
Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Generational curse breaker?
Speaker 6 (01:07:44):
Yes, yes, I know. My little boy, he gonna inherit
all this, he got so much, he so turned up
your trust.
Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Fun baby, ain't nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 6 (01:07:54):
You know he said it with a smile. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
Go get episodes right now and Diary of a mad Man.
This is there's some books that are good. This is good,
but it's also important, man.
Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
It's important my album today too, shall.
Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Man, that's episode. I didn't even get that album.
Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
I didn't get what you want to left album voices voices.
It's Gucci man, thank you so much for joining us.
You used to listen to the Breakfast Live in the
morning when you work. I don't know if you still do,
but you gotta compassion.
Speaker 6 (01:08:19):
I listen to y'all every day before I go to
the gym, and not my favorite part is positive.
Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Know today there we go.
Speaker 17 (01:08:24):
He loves that you're positive.
Speaker 6 (01:08:27):
So as I'm going to the gym, we are on
the gym, we listen to y'all. But it's like the
Positive to Day. I ain't stopped. Let me hear what
he's saying.
Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
That's what it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Good Damn, it's I mean, trying to be donkey today.
Speaker 7 (01:08:46):
No more.
Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
not making these people do these.
Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Days called Donkey of to Day and it really caught
me off guard.
Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
Damn Charlamagne, who.
Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
Got the donkey out of Day today? Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Just Hillary, it's Donkey today.
Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
From Monday, October twentieth goes to a twenty one year
old Ohio man named Jonathan Morris. Jonathan is locked up
right now because he decided to seek vengeance after being fired.
Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Okay, how many.
Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
People out there have been fired and wanted to seek
revenge for said firing. Well, Jonathan Morris lived out your
wildness dreams and now his dumb ass is in jail
for it. Let's go to Fox nineteen now for the
report police.
Speaker 15 (01:09:22):
Breaking this morning. At the Alert desk, A man is
dead after a shooting outside this Taco Bell in Queensgate.
This is video from that scene at the restaurant on
Guest Street. Cincinnati Police say they first got that call
around midnight saying someone shot an employee in the parking
lot of that Taco Bell. When officers arrived, they declared
the victim dead at the scene. We're told police did
(01:09:44):
not make any arrests or find a weapon right now,
they are currently investigating and finding surveillance video from the
restaurant at this hour.
Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Jonathan, Johnny, John John, I shouldn't have to tell you
that this wasn't the way to handle any of this.
Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Okay. Look, we've all been fired in life.
Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
I've been fired seven times total, four times from radio stations.
The others were a clothing store that used to exist
in them all called Demo. I was fired from a
warehouse called Industrial Acoustic Company, and I was fired by
my sister from guess where Taco Bell? Yes, my sister
was the manager, and she fired me rightfully.
Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
So, okay, I was late. That's not funny. It is.
It is funny, but it is that, you know what
I'm saying. I was fired rightfully, so I was late,
not doing what I was supposed to be doing. It happens.
Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
But now once did I think about reacting to any
of those firings the way Jonathan Morris did. Okay, I
just don't understand the rapid escalation. You fired one day
then allegedly commit murder the next. There had to be
some type of serious mental breakdown. He had to have
a problem with his manager prior. Because ain't no way, Jonathan,
You're twenty one years old. I can guarantee you that
(01:10:55):
Taco Bell was not going to be where you peaked
in life.
Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Okay, it just wasn't. You went to Taco Bell a
day after being fired from there to kill the manager.
Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
I looked it up, man, Okay, Taco Bell in Ohio
pay than the average of about thirteen dollars and thirty
three cents per hour. So you were about to spend
the rest of your life in a maximum security prison
for minimum wage.
Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
And the news report said the manager was just trying
to help.
Speaker 6 (01:11:22):
That's what I read.
Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Okay, I bet you the manager and rest in peace
to the manager. Ryan Johnson sending his family healing energy.
Ryan Johnson was just trying to help. He probably engaged
Jonathan in conversation. He probably was making an effort to
resolve something, probably trying to tell him like, bruh, this
ain't that serious. Okay, you got fired from here, you
got a whole life to live. But now he's dead
(01:11:44):
because this young man simply couldn't handle his emotions. Another
permanent decision made from temporary feelings. Listen, I promise you,
youngest man. I know things be feeling like the end
of the world when bad things happen. But if it's
one thing that I have learned in my forties even
years on this planet, is that trouble don't last always. Okay,
this two shall pass, and my brother, fast food is
(01:12:08):
not a fortune five hundred company fortune five hundred companies
ain't worth you killing nobody over but definitely fast food,
ain't okay? I promise you that you could have gotten
another fast food job if you wanted one.
Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
You may have felt humiliated or wronged in the moment.
You might have felt like it was unfair. You may
have felt powerless, but McDonald's was right up the street. Okay,
So is a Chick for l A? Well, you're definitely
not nice enough to work and no Chick fil A,
But there's a coust Junius. I don't know if Crystal
is in Ohio, but my point is there was other
fast food jobs to be got. Okay, you can get
(01:12:40):
another fast food job where Ryan Johnson sadly can't get
another life, not here in this dimension anyway, and you,
Jonathan can't get back what you are about to lose,
which is a life of freedom. Workplace conduct plus emotional
discress plus access to firearms can lead to irreversible tragedies
(01:13:00):
like this one. Please give Jonathan Morris the biggest he huh,
All that for a crunch?
Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
Rap supreme? That's crazy? All that for a cheesy GRDA crunch. Really,
we're race, We'll race.
Speaker 8 (01:13:16):
What's his name?
Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
His name was Jonathan Morris? You won't see him. You
know what race? You know, we don't know what a race.
Don't just assume. Okay, Morris, y'all want to play a game.
A game. I don't want to play a game. Somebody died.
Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
I do have a question, jess right, what race y'all
think he is? Thoughcause I want to know. I don't
wont know how.
Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Racist y'all are?
Speaker 19 (01:13:40):
You go for?
Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
Black?
Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Black?
Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Why do y'all think that? I don't know? Yeah, I
don't even.
Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
But but let me ask you a question. Yes, that's
Charlamage while he got five from Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Yeah, why did you senstify? You said you was late,
but why did you want? I mean, I wasn't doing
what I was supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
It was late all the time. I don't remember sneak
at a learn.
Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Only work frot of all. I don't be late here.
Stop backing like I be late here all the god damn.
I been working for fifteen years. My track record is
very good.
Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Okay, Yeah, I've worked with people who were extremely late
all the time. All right, okay, my track record is
very very good.
Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
All right, all right, all right, well now when we
come back, you got a chance to chop it up
with former president former Vice president Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
Yes, you know, Kamala Harris has an amazing book out
called one hundred and seven Days. If Democrats get out
their feelings, I think it can you know, help them
to have some courage to tell the truth about their
own party. All right, and I think that can help them,
you know, moving into the future. But we were in Birmingham,
Alabama on Friday, and we had a couple of conversations.
We had a five o'clock conversation and an eight o'clock conversation.
(01:14:49):
Both of them were different. So we're gonna get pieces
of both of them all for you this morning. All right,
we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Good Morning, The Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Everybody is DJ NV, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the God. We
are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Over the weekend, Charlamagne chapped it up with The Birthday Woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
So we was in Birmingham, Alabama on Friday. You know,
her book is out one hundred and seven days. It's
been number one on the New York Times Bestsellers list
for weeks and so, yeah, we had a couple of conversations.
You know, we had a five o'clock conversation in an
eight o'clock conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
So I don't know which one we're getting on for
you this morning. It might be a combination of both.
Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
It is, it's the breakfast Club, good morning.
Speaker 14 (01:15:30):
Well, you know, I.
Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
Loved one hundred and seven days, And the reason.
Speaker 3 (01:15:33):
I loved one hundred and seven days is because I
just love honesty, you know, And it felt like, you know,
you you got a lot off of your chest, a
lot of things that you've been wanting to say. But
I guess I couldn't say you decided to say in
the book, do you do you?
Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
We cannot hear you. You don't know what you say.
Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
Do you feel like the Democratic Party truly supported your
leadership or they just relieved you could study the ship
after Biden stepped aside.
Speaker 14 (01:16:00):
That's a big thing to say the Democratic Party there
was what a Biden administration?
Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Well, I write about it.
Speaker 14 (01:16:08):
I write about how I felt about people in the answer.
Speaker 20 (01:16:17):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 14 (01:16:18):
If we think about where we are now and moving forward,
we've got to have the fight in us and we
have to understand that this is not a time for
sitting around complaining about, Oh they're cheating, they're just not fair,
they're not playing by the rules.
Speaker 20 (01:16:35):
We need to fight fire with fire.
Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
There we go.
Speaker 6 (01:16:39):
We need to fight fire with fire.
Speaker 14 (01:16:43):
So when I look at where the Democratic Party is today,
that's what I applaud those who are understanding that this
is not a time to try and be the ones
who are holding up the standard when they are stealing
our We will not compromise our values or principles. These
(01:17:06):
things can coexist where we have our principles and our values,
but we know how to roll up our sleeves and
throw a punch and stead.
Speaker 20 (01:17:14):
Just taking a punch her.
Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Now, another thing I want to talk about, Like we've
all seen the clips of people interrupting you at these
book events, right, please, nobody do that tonight, all right?
Speaker 2 (01:17:27):
And it always makes me wonder if they've.
Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
Read the book, like the people who are in supportive
Paloss and have they actually read the book because in
the book you call Biden's comments on Gaza inadequate and forced.
Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
What word would you use to describe the administration's role
in that moment?
Speaker 14 (01:17:46):
I firmly believe we could have done more. We had
a certain level of leverage that we did not exercise.
Whether it was about what we did in terms of support,
applying support at what level?
Speaker 8 (01:18:05):
It about?
Speaker 14 (01:18:06):
What about speaking publicly about what we knew to be wrong.
I think we could have done more and and should have.
Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Did Did you ever feel complicit in decisions that's right?
Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Did did you ever feel complicit in decisions that went
against your conscience?
Speaker 14 (01:18:23):
I the people in the administration were very clear about
how it felt.
Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Yeah, you wrote, you wrote that Net and Yahoo wanted
Trump in de seat across from him, not you, not Joe.
So what do you think that says about how foreign
leaders really view, you know, the current administration and the
Biden administration.
Speaker 14 (01:18:48):
I think ye And I again, for the sake of repetition,
I I predicted it, and it's exactly what we're saying.
I I said on the debate stage, they one are
laughing at us. If you look at it in the
context of again, a disgraceful speech that the president gave
(01:19:13):
before the United Nations, he did it when he was
president the first time, and again was disgraceful. You look
at it in terms of the whole flattery or favor
he accepted a plane the President of the United States
from a foreign government.
Speaker 20 (01:19:35):
Remember we all learned.
Speaker 14 (01:19:36):
Back in the day, what is a trojan horse. Some
people might call it a jet plane. I'd call it
a trojan horse. And let me tell you something. I
spent four years flying around the world on Air Force
two and taking very important, highly classified meetings with the
(01:20:00):
Secretary of Defense, Secretary of.
Speaker 20 (01:20:02):
State, generals, and others in an environment.
Speaker 14 (01:20:07):
On that plane that was highly protected for those classified conversations.
Because you can only imagine how much foreign governments want
to have access to our classified information which we possess
in the best interest of.
Speaker 20 (01:20:24):
Our national security.
Speaker 14 (01:20:26):
And this man wants a big plane so bad because
you know, his plane is not that big, that Trump plane,
and he wants it so he can have it when
he's out of office. They talk about giving it to
the library. You know who's going to be flying around
on that plane. And this is on top of remember
(01:20:48):
early on they were.
Speaker 20 (01:20:49):
Using Signal Charlemagne to plan out war plans.
Speaker 14 (01:20:57):
We would get ourselves out of in the middle of
the night, all of us wherever we were to go
to what it was called what is called a skiff,
which is a secure facility, or go to the situation
room to have those conversations.
Speaker 20 (01:21:12):
These people are so lazy.
Speaker 14 (01:21:16):
That they're sending back texting each other about war plans,
and then so dumb to not know.
Speaker 20 (01:21:22):
A reporter as in the tax chain.
Speaker 14 (01:21:27):
With our national security interests at stake, And if it
weren't so incredibly harmful.
Speaker 20 (01:21:36):
It would be the thing of a great comedy sketch.
Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Oh, I will be in you.
Speaker 20 (01:21:43):
But it's ext And this.
Speaker 21 (01:21:45):
Is the thing about having people who don't fully appreciate
the strength and power and therefore solemn responsibility that comes
with these positions, that it.
Speaker 8 (01:22:01):
Is not about them, It is about you, It is
about us.
Speaker 20 (01:22:05):
It is about we the people.
Speaker 7 (01:22:07):
And that is what is so tragic.
Speaker 14 (01:22:10):
Put aside personalities, put aside egos or lack thereof, the
matters that we are discussing are such a grave and
important nature that to have people who do not understand
the that they possess the power in the public trust
and to instead be convinced of their personal entitlement, it's
(01:22:35):
so incredibly dangerous to who we are as a country.
Speaker 20 (01:22:39):
Well, let's save each other.
Speaker 14 (01:22:41):
That we're here to save each other.
Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Are you going to take time to enjoy yourself on
your upcoming birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Oh yeah, you know right about.
Speaker 20 (01:22:52):
If my birthday's coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
Yeah, the dove knows that it's time, right. But I
know in the book you kind of God last year.
Speaker 14 (01:23:01):
Yeah, so I tell a story about I love my
husband so much. I loved my husband so much. I
loved my Dougie so much. But yeah, that was not
a good birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
You got triggered just now just thinking about it.
Speaker 14 (01:23:17):
Okay, what happened was so?
Speaker 8 (01:23:20):
What happened was this?
Speaker 20 (01:23:23):
So my birthday is October twenty.
Speaker 14 (01:23:26):
So we were, as you can imagine, knee need deep
in the campaign, and Doug and I, Doug my husband
and I, we had basically, you know, like so many
of our families, we had you know, split up to
everybody being somewhere that we needed to be, and our
teams had conspired so lovingly that he and I would
(01:23:47):
end up in the same place the night of my birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 20 (01:23:58):
You're gonna ask me, did Doug plan a dinner?
Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
I read the book.
Speaker 20 (01:24:01):
I know he didn't.
Speaker 14 (01:24:06):
So then it came time for the birthday gift. I
opened the gift. The gift was a necklace that it
was engraved. It was not October twentieth, It was the
date of our anniversary, because Doug clearly thought he was
(01:24:27):
going to get a twofer with that one gift.
Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Need you to do better this year, Doug?
Speaker 14 (01:24:36):
Okay, fourth, they hid it and he was so and
it was it was leading up to the World Series,
and so we had had we had dinner and which
I selected, and and we had a little cupcake and
I blew out the candle and I was done. And
so I went to go take a bath because it
(01:24:59):
actually during the campaign, and I highly suggest it for
anybody who has a bathtub that it is a really
wonderful way to distressed at the.
Speaker 8 (01:25:06):
End of the day, with salt, Yes, with ebs, salt
with eb some salt. Right, So I went to go
take a bath.
Speaker 14 (01:25:14):
Doug was watching the baseball game, and then I realized
in this hotel and they had it was a nice
little suite they got us for that night, and the
towels were on the other side of the bathroom. So
of course I'm vice president running for president of the
United States. So I had my phone next to the bathtub,
and but first I just called out to.
Speaker 20 (01:25:36):
My husband dougie.
Speaker 7 (01:25:40):
Nothing.
Speaker 14 (01:25:43):
Then I went to Doug calling him out, Doug nothing,
and then it's real serious when I go Douglas.
Speaker 20 (01:25:55):
So I picked up the phone to call him. He
didn't answer, So then.
Speaker 14 (01:26:02):
I FaceTime audio him. Here's how he answered, what's up?
Speaker 8 (01:26:12):
And that was it.
Speaker 17 (01:26:15):
And so we got into it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
Rightfully so.
Speaker 14 (01:26:23):
And but here's the thing about my husband and about
that moment. We all, in our relationships, in whatever form
you have, go through stressful moments and go through you
know what life brings. There are joy and there is
also stress. And my husband said to me at that moment,
(01:26:45):
he looked at me and he.
Speaker 20 (01:26:46):
Just poured cold water on the.
Speaker 14 (01:26:49):
Heat of that moment. And he looked at me and
he said, we cannot turn on each other.
Speaker 20 (01:26:56):
And it was so poignant.
Speaker 14 (01:27:00):
And you know, I tell a few stories like that
about just what this was because Charlemagne. In many ways,
I just I wanted to write this book to also
just lift the hood on what happens behind the scenes
in every way. I think there's so much about I mean,
obviously the office of president is and it affects the
(01:27:21):
entire globe, but there's so much about the process that's
very opaque that people unless you've been personally involved at
a very close level, you don't really have a sense
of and I wanted to help people have a sense
of it in a way that I hope helps people
see where they could fit in or be involved or
a part of it, and feel a sense of understanding
(01:27:44):
what it all involves, so that we can all participate
in an active way.
Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
You know, in the book you write about democracy being fragile,
and we see that happening right now.
Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
Do you still believe the system can fix yourself from
the inside?
Speaker 14 (01:27:56):
No, not necessarily.
Speaker 20 (01:27:57):
Okay, it pains me to say that.
Speaker 14 (01:28:02):
When I decided to become a prosecutor, I had to
defend that decision with my family. They were not down
with that decision, so many of them. And I said, look,
why is it that we are always thinking that for
systems that need change or reform, that we have to
(01:28:23):
be on the outside on ben de knee or trying
to break down the door to get that improvement done.
I said, shouldn't we also think about being on the
inside of the system as a way to have an impact.
And I have believed that, and I've seen the benefit
of that my entire career.
Speaker 20 (01:28:41):
But to be very candid. I perhaps naively thought.
Speaker 14 (01:28:46):
The system would be stronger in this moment.
Speaker 8 (01:28:51):
Then it's been.
Speaker 14 (01:28:53):
And I think that without any question, the destruction caused
by this administration in this moment and the debris that
will be left is going to require some serious work,
and it will need to be without nostalgia about how
(01:29:14):
things were, knowing that there was a lot that was
not working so well, and there was a lot that
was working well, to be sure, and the people inside,
these career people who have been there doing incredible God's
work must be applauded always. But the structure and the
(01:29:34):
way we have designed some of these systems has turned
out to be quite flawed. So the change that we
want and the improvement that we're going to need, some
of it will be from inside the system, but I
think a lot of it is going to be because
of the pressure that the people put to say, this
is how.
Speaker 20 (01:29:51):
I want my government to work for me.
Speaker 14 (01:29:55):
I think that's and I think that perhaps in this
moment of crisis, it is going to one of the
maybe opportunities in this moment of severe crisis is that
when we have to then start figuring out how we're
going to deal with the debris and the cleanup that
it gives us an opportunity to reimagine some of these
(01:30:15):
systems to make them more effective and responsive to the
needs of the people.
Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
Well, if one hundred and seven days was your closure
for one chapter, what's the new one you're ready to open?
Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
Are you going to be part of that cleanup? Are
you going to be out there intershot you?
Speaker 14 (01:30:31):
You know it is my nature to serve. I'm not
going to stop serving, but right now my focus is
on winning, and so I'm going to be doing work
on behalf of folks in the mid terms. There are
two important governor's races happening in the country right now,
which we should focus on in New Jersey and Virginia.
Speaker 20 (01:30:53):
There's the local work.
Speaker 14 (01:30:55):
That's happening, and that's going to be my focus. We
have to win on everything, and it's about not only elections,
but around this this war on disinformation and also just
lifting up the ability of us as Americans to trust
each other. There's a lot of work to be done,
and I'm in it and I'm here for the fight.
Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
That was Charlemagne's conversation with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Now,
when we come back. We got the latest with Lawrence.
You don't go anywhere. It's to the breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
The morning, the breakfast.
Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
Club, Happy, happy, happy, monefe Life is great.
Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
God is good.
Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
God is great. Life is good. God is great. God
everything is great. It really is, though it is, of
course it is.
Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
And let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Lauren to come on a straight fast.
Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
She gets them somebody that knows somebody.
Speaker 8 (01:31:54):
I'm no long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
She'd be having the latest on the large The Latest
with Lauren la Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you
have details. Sometimes you have a little bit every time.
The leader on the breakfast Club.
Speaker 8 (01:32:10):
All right, So stephen A.
Speaker 13 (01:32:12):
Smith is talking more about Lebron James. He sat down
with the guys over at the Pivot and he talked
about Lebron James and he says, Lebron James doesn't go
at white people the same way he does black analysts.
Speaker 8 (01:32:23):
That's sick a listing.
Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
You ever see Lebron got the white boy? It's called
what it come at me? Close as you have a kid.
Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
That first for yourself, plead again.
Speaker 22 (01:32:35):
I'm sorry you ever see Lebron got the white boy
called what you see you, Shawna, come at me close
as you have A came to see him do something
like that when he called out Brian Wenthors.
Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
What you're calling not Brian Windhors, for the man covered
you since junior.
Speaker 22 (01:32:46):
High school and has praised you repeatedly, and you used
the Pat McAfee situation to go at him. And that's
the only time you ever see Lebron James, you know,
really go at somebody white.
Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
I'm calling what it is. When I did my monologue.
Speaker 22 (01:32:58):
For seventeen to have eighteen minutes the day after he
decided to go on Pat McAfee's show. Immediately after, I
was informed that we won't be hearing more from him
about me. That's what I thought, because I got receipts.
I pride myself on being a fair minded individual, being professional,
but I'm also a proud black man, and I know
(01:33:19):
not only what I've done, what I've tried to do
for black men in our industry. I'm gonna have to
call you out sometimes, but you know why I'm calling
you out because there's a whole bunch of other black
people I got to look out for, and they can't
make the same everage you just made because if they
did it, were ruin their life. And I need to
use you as that example because I got a bigger vision.
Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
Yeah, that's an interesting take.
Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
But what I would say, you know, bigger than going
at I guess white sports pundits. Like we've seen Lebron
James be a voice for social justice, you know, in
a in a racially divided country, like we've seen him
do that a lot. We've seen him position himself, you know,
throughout his throughout his.
Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
Career as a leader on those type of issues.
Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
And you know, somebody of his statue don't have to
speak out against a lot of the things that Lebron
has spoken out against. So I mean, you know, saying
he went up, he never went at a white sports pundit.
I don't know if that's even true or not. But
I've seen him stand up against white supremacy.
Speaker 1 (01:34:19):
Yeah, but I think it's I think it's a different line. Yeah,
we see Lebron stand up for for a lot of
social rights, but a lot of Yeah, a lot of
people do feel like when it comes to not said ish.
Speaker 6 (01:34:31):
You said, he said, I thought you said it to.
Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
You said it.
Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
I need you to share, but no, I mean no,
Lebron has used his platform to speak on political and socialists.
He's he's he's done things like, you know, mobilized black voters.
He's fought against voters and fresh and in response, you know,
to the death of George Floyd, like I've seen Lebron
(01:34:55):
James stand up speak on issues, especially in re guards
to race that he doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
At his level. Yes, I like that more than going
at you know, a white sports But I guess he's.
Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
Saying, if you're gonna go at me, go at everybody
the same. I guess that's that Stephen Smiths.
Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
But I'm just saying both they're not created equally. I
don't I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (01:35:16):
He's ever got Brian Windhoord is the example that I
would use, because that's the latest one that's in my mind.
I don't know who historically. I'm sure he's probably clapped
that Skip baalist.
Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
I don't know. I really do not know.
Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
But I'm just saying standing up for social justice issues
and standing up for your race and regards and stuff
like that is bigger than me, and it's a lot
more to lose doing that than it is going at
a sports aintle.
Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
That's all I'm saying. So I don't know what Stephen
was trying to get at with that.
Speaker 13 (01:35:42):
Gotcha, that was the shut up in dribble. I mean
he didn't like go at her, but the whole number
and the whole shut up and dribble thing too. Like
I'm sure he has some things to say about.
Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
That, but that's why the lady.
Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
The lady told him that because of the stands he
takes for his on race issues and social justice issues.
Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
Because George Floyd that was I.
Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Don't remember what that was for. I just remember that's
why they told him to shut up and dribble.
Speaker 13 (01:36:03):
That's why, well else Elsewhearing the interview, Stephen A does
say that to MV to your point that you know
he there was a lot of times where he didn't
speak on Bronnie and Lebron and he actually like clapped
for them because he felt like lebron was getting what
he deserved because he does so much for the league.
But I think he feels like you took your time
to come for me and everybody else. But I mean
the Steven A. Smith too, So if you're gonna come
(01:36:25):
for somebody, you want to go where the voice is
like if everybody listens to stephen A.
Speaker 8 (01:36:28):
So I kind of understand that as well.
Speaker 13 (01:36:30):
But he also talked about the Serena Williams Alexis Orhani
moment as well. He says, if he was in the studio,
it would have went down different. Let's take a listen
to that.
Speaker 22 (01:36:38):
Let's go to that Alexis Ohany and Serena Williams husband.
Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
It would have been a entirely different situation if I
were in the studio.
Speaker 22 (01:36:45):
Don't think for one second and I'm gonna let some
petty spat get in the way of my money. All
I was saying was, as men, if I'm married and
my wife got the energy and the fervor to show
up on Super Bowl Sunday and go out on stage,
specifically to dance off of a song that's disrespecting her ax,
(01:37:06):
my question would be, what's that energy about. That's all
I was saying. I was speaking generically. He clearly took
it differently, and to his face. I would have said
to him what I just said to y'all, and I
would say, but that you took it differently. I owned that,
and I apologize you because I meant no disrespect, but
I wasn't gonna make a big deal of it. But
if I was face to face and he had come
at me that way, I would have simply said, sir,
(01:37:27):
I didn't mean it that way, but do you really
want me to take it there?
Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
Now?
Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
You got to go back, Alexis, Alexis, you got to
go back because I want to see.
Speaker 6 (01:37:38):
Let this die.
Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
You know, we don't want to see, don't want to see.
Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
You're not doing it well.
Speaker 3 (01:37:47):
I want to say he.
Speaker 1 (01:37:51):
Didn't even have the full energy through YouTube. Alexis what's
his name? Alex was name?
Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Not going to have the same energy balls and Steve
Steven the one that got.
Speaker 5 (01:38:06):
The fact that whether alex Is gonna have an energy
and oh my bad, Alexis exactly it's not even the
fact whether he's gonna have the energy or not. It's
the fact that will he have the same energy to y'all.
It's his energy going to be good enough for y'all,
because it wasn't good enough for y'all when he came
up there and said something that's not true.
Speaker 3 (01:38:28):
Les would have said exactly what he said to Steven
a to face the face, giving.
Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
That's not what he said is this that he didn't
say it to his face. I thought I made that
perfectly clear.
Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
I thought he should have been more directed. I didn't
like talking about, you know, relationship and marricasarned to make
billion dollar companies.
Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
I was kind of confused.
Speaker 3 (01:38:54):
Now that was a flexcasion, so me for me, it's
just about to face to face in But now the
balls in Stephen's court, okay, because I need to see
what they react faith, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
I want to say one last thing.
Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
The reason I always give Lebron James props for what
he does in social justice and standing up for racial
issues is because of the fact that people like Jordan,
Michael Jordan were always criticized for not doing that, you know,
because he didn't want to lose endorsements, so I didn't
want to lose fans. Lebron don't eem to care about that.
He never seem to care about that. So I respect
that more than just you know, going at a white
(01:39:32):
sports anker. The latest with Lauren, yeah you had another one.
Speaker 8 (01:39:37):
Yeah, Jack and forth. She even got her exes mad.
Speaker 2 (01:39:41):
She said which one? Which one?
Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
This is?
Speaker 8 (01:39:47):
This is the one that was with her right.
Speaker 13 (01:39:49):
Before she did Selena, and this is the one that
used to claim that because Diddy came around their relationship,
their marriage ended.
Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
I would like the record to show that I never
heard of this man.
Speaker 1 (01:39:57):
All right, Well, noah, guys, when.
Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
I think of j Ox's he's never I don't even
know who this is.
Speaker 1 (01:40:09):
Was only married for eleven She was married for a
hot time. He had a lot to say. It was
eleven years.
Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
Oh so he like Chris Humphreys, and Chris Humphreys was
way more popping than them.
Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
Oh my goodness. All right, now when we come back,
we got the People's choice mixed. Happy Birthday, Snoop Dog.
We're gonna play some Snoop in the mix, and of
course some Gucci because he was there early. It's the
Breakfast Lubve good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy just hilarious.
Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Sluta, Gucci Maine.
Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
For joining us this morning. Man, it's Lutha Gucci. I'm
not even joking when I say this.
Speaker 3 (01:40:36):
His new book, Episodes Diary of Recovering mad Man is
a very very important book because there's not too many people,
especially artists, who are willing to admit that they were
clinically diagnosed with bipolaris schizophrenia. They had super drug addiction,
he was on lean, he was on pills purpose at
all of that stuff like that, and a lot of
that irrational behavior we saw from them, the Twitter rans
(01:41:00):
going at people. It was because of that man. You
know how how great the world would be if so
many other people would admit.
Speaker 8 (01:41:06):
That for sure, And the fact that he had a
wife there to help him every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
She never left them alone.
Speaker 3 (01:41:11):
You know what, Luther, He's just really the hero and
all of this because Gucci don't really have anybody else
that closes. If you get the book, he'll explain to
you why he don't really have a relationship with his mom.
God bless it because his mom is no longer here.
But I'm telling you it's a really really good read.
Speaker 4 (01:41:27):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:41:27):
Yeah, she's the glue that held it all together.
Speaker 2 (01:41:29):
So why would you want anything other than a black woman?
Speaker 3 (01:41:34):
No disrespect that you know anybody who has something else
other than a black woman.
Speaker 2 (01:41:37):
You know what I'm saying. I I'm all for love.
Speaker 1 (01:41:43):
Love is love, love who you want to love.
Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
But why, I just want to know why you would
want you know, that's all.
Speaker 7 (01:41:51):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
I want to know why you were?
Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
Why why especially as a black man. You know what
I'm saying, and I believe that, you know what, whatever,
I don't even feel like explaining. I just I like
black love and watching Gucci and Keisha, seeing stunning Mona Leo.
You know, thinking to me and my wife, if you
got a black woman even though he's Dominican.
Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
And then I'm black, but yes I'm black.
Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
I ain't.
Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Having a black woman.
Speaker 8 (01:42:18):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
For having a black woman.
Speaker 10 (01:42:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
Gucci said he listens to the positive note every morning,
So what you got this morning?
Speaker 3 (01:42:32):
Actually the positive note comes from Gucci man because Gucci
said something in his book in regards to getting help,
and he said, you know, the only person that can
help you is yourself when you need it, and I
do believe that is absolutely the first step. And this
positive note comes from see Joy bell se She once said,
the only person who can pull me down is myself,
and I'm not gonna let myself pull.
Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
Me down anymore. You heard what I just said.
Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
The only person who can pull me down is myself,
and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
Have a great day.
Speaker 6 (01:43:05):
Breakfast club bitches, you don't finished or y'all done.
