Speaker 1 (00:20):
How y'all feel out there? I feel blessed, black and
holly favor, but happy to be here another day to
serve our beautiful listeners. Good morning morning. How you feeling, Jess?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I feel good.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yo's wrong, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I've definitely been toning up. There you go, yep, off
the weed.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Peptize and nothing.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I am pized.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Oh really, yeah, I told you nothing.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
What the hell you mean?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
You said you do take pep size?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I said I did, And I told you how I
was messing up my mood. So I got off. But
my mood is good at though.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
All right, we'll see, we'll see.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Yeah, I see that. That's the biggest thing that they said.
It's very moody, but it helps with pains, it helps
with now, it helps with recovery, but good for work.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
I recovered exactly, and that's why I take it, and
also for skin because I actually have like a collagen
gail that has peptized in it that it helps my
skin stay tight and all that type of stuff. But
I think that's for like different people, Like not everybody
is affected, Like their mood is affected when you take it.
Because my husband, Chris, he was he been taking it
for like, he was taking it for like four months
and then he got really really moody. So he got

(01:23):
all tell you, but they said, you got to keep
trying him until you figure out the ones, try different
ones until you figure out the one that does not
affect your mood, because all of them don't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I ain't got time to be experimenting. That's that's the
problem with Like there hasn't been enough studies on the
peptide done to see what the long term effects are.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
That was on them, Like I got on them in January.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I got off them in like May because they were
just messing my mood all the way and I'm already
a cancer, so I'm already multi. I ain't got time
for that. Ain't got trying to be waking up in
the morning wondering why I'm crying. I wasn't crying them
like externally, right, I was crying internally and the funny party.
That's the worst part about it. It's not even like
a depressed type of you just be angry.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, and I'm not used to my being angry and
just and I'm like, damn, what's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's usually me, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
But I'm good once I once I got off them,
I've been fine, even good, Yes, very much so yeah,
going back.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
You're not trying none.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
They really are good though they do work.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
I don't know. I'm not gonna say I'm not.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
I'm always super nervous about things that just like nowhere yeah,
and then and then people start using them, and then
they start seeing later on like well it's it's very moody.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, it's very just side to see.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well I got I started them from a wellness and
it wasn't like I was ordering the black Mateah.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
We got them from a wellness inner as well.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
I had a doctor actually say hey, people, be good.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I would have did to my mood, but then I
got another guy who's really into him too.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I wouldn't recommend it is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I haven't.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
But anyway, you know, sleu to my daughter. I tell
everybody all the time, if you have kids, you should
date your kids. And what that means is take them
out to dinner. Which last night, Madison and Jackson we
went on a date. We went to a nice restaurant,
had a nice dinner, but then after we went to
a dessert spot. So you're talking about that exposed to
diarrhea yesterday that you.

Speaker 1 (03:13):

Speaker 5 (03:14):
I don't know what my stomach is gonna do because
you have I had a lot, man, I had Cheeseca.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Date your kids, no, I mean that's the way you
think about it.

Speaker 4 (03:24):

I think you should date your kids. Take your kids

But they ain't doing it like you not.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
But I'm saying I've been saying date our kids for
the longest. That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Definitely, definitely, you should definitely take your kids out individually.
So I took you just say that because I'm just
dating the kids.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
You take it, No, it's not dating.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
No, it was like a dinner date with Julian absolutely
like that.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I think of it like your father.

Speaker 5 (03:53):

Speaker 5 (04:36):
All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got
front page news. Meemi's actually here, what's up to me?
And it's the breakfast cuff.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
You hear me an eight hundred five eighty five one

Speaker 1 (04:59):
It's the Breakfat spoke morning, just waiting for all Willie's
person when they re up and we can have a
pleasant time sipping margarine and drugs by the time this play.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I know that's right.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Only everybody.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
It's DJ Envy, just Hilarius, Charlamagne and to god we
are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page
news now, just so you know. Today France takes on
Morocco at four p m and Foxboro, Massachusetts.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
And you representing France. I saw you.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Don't it don't even lie to me because I saw
you on the flyer with green and white on and
it said dj V representing France and did not say
that fly did not say dj V representing France.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yes, we are having a watch party at the American
Dreamers me salut DJ Camillo. So they put both DJs
on and it says France versus Morocco.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm not France.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I mean just happened to.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Be wearing green, not black either, but it says dj
NV represented does not representing Morocco.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Did not say that. I just said friend's versus Morocco.
And they had two pictures of two DJs that's on
green and white.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's a picture that they take. We taught to find
that picture. Oh my goodness, good morning me.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
Good morning everyone. So let's jump right in.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
So we get started this morning with President Trump declaring
the ceasefire in Iran is over. So for a second
straight night, the US launched air strikes after accusing Iran
of attacking commercial ships. Illustrator from Moose. Trump now says
he no longer believes a peace deal with Iran's possible
and warns that more strikes could be coming.

Speaker 8 (06:30):
Let's listen to me.

Speaker 10 (06:33):
I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them,
and they with this scum. You know what scum is.
There's scum, there's sick people. They're led by sick people,
and then they're vicious, violent people. And if they had
a nuclear weapon, they'd use it, so as I'm concerned,
it's just a waste of time dealing with them, the liars.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
They set shooting rockets at chips yesterday. Then, so we
hit a very hard last night, very hard. I would
say twenty to one, twenty times stuff. I told them
every time you hit, we hit. And of course they
are dirty players, so they go after everyone, probably including me.
I've been number one of their lists for years.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Did Trump to say he hit Iran with a twenty
v one?

Speaker 8 (07:16):
He said he hits them twenty times harder.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
That's crazy.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah, so yes, And this is in the middle of
peace talks, right, I think peace hawks, which is crazy.
These are pieces we we're trying to get to a
peaceful situations.

Speaker 8 (07:28):
I think that's best ship of sales.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I would be insulted that Donald Trump called me a
liar too, like, how.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Dare you just a liar?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Not the stum you know?

Speaker 9 (07:36):
So those those comments come as Trump says he believes
that he is number one on Iran's heell list and
no longer sees a path for to a peace deal Iran.

Speaker 8 (07:45):
They say that their military.

Speaker 9 (07:46):
Actions are in retaliation for what the US is doing
and they will hit back again and again if the
US continues. It's military camp, it's military campaign. So this,
of course, this renewed conflict is already sending those oil
prices higher. So you guys please expect to see higher
gas prices at the pump again.

Speaker 8 (08:07):
I know we were going down and now we're going
to go back up.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I'm going to jump for you.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
That's not everywhere.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Remember I told y'all a couple of weeks ago, man
on the view, it's not over until til bb netya
who says this over.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I'm told you.

Speaker 9 (08:20):
Okay, yeah, and really quickly. Now to a major shakeup
in one of this year's most important Senate races. So
Main Democrat Senate nominee Grand Platner. He has suspended his
campaign after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her
nearly five years ago. So Platner is a political newcomer
who built a national following by attacking the Democratic establishment

(08:41):
and promising to shake up Washington. But yesterday, after this
last allegation, he suspended his campaign.

Speaker 8 (08:46):
Let's listen, we.

Speaker 11 (08:48):
Are suspending campaign operations. This is incredibly difficult because I
know that some will think it's an admission of guilt,
and it most certainly is not. We're not doing it
because of the allegation. Were doing it because of the
structures that are being taken away from us by those
in power.

Speaker 9 (09:05):
So even before this sexual assault allegation, his campaign was
already plagued with controversy. There were these old racist, sexiest, homophobic,
sexual media posts that resurfaced.

Speaker 8 (09:16):
He also faced backlash over a tattoo like.

Speaker 9 (09:18):
A Nazi symbol that he had, and then on Monday,
Political They published an allegation that he had sexually assaulted
a woman in twenty twenty one, and then the very
next day, the Washington Post reported a second allegation from
another former girlfriend. And so after all of that, Platner
says he's pulling out, but he is denying all the allegations.
But right now, main Democrats, they must find a new

(09:41):
nominee to take on Republican Senator Susan Collins before the midterm.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Allow. H, Yeah, when you have that kind of baggage
and you're a Democrat, there's usually no path to victory.
But when you're a Republican, just another day at office.

Speaker 9 (09:52):
Yeah, So that is your six am hour and seven
we're going to talk about the latest. We have some
new developments in the Nolan wells uh mystery, murder mystery?

Speaker 8 (10:03):
What happened there?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
All right? And everybody else?

Speaker 5 (10:05):

Speaker 13 (10:40):
Of weeks ago, I'm missing to the radio when you

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Sir, sir?

Speaker 5 (11:14):
If you if you have kids, you have kids.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I don't have kids.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
I could tell you if you speak to psychologists or doctors,
they say dating your kids, meaning you should do that intentionally.
It means carving out intentional one on one time to
connect with them individually. It's a term of dating your
kids and models healthy relationship behaviors and reduces negative behavior
by for filling their need for attention.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay, what that white ancestral redneck therapist from Alabama said?

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Okay, dating your kids, that's not that's not the word
you should arga. You need to find a date so
you can have some kids. That's what you need to do.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
So you should be dating somebody. That wouldn't help the argument.
First of all, I've been telling you. That didn't help you.
Aug you're just proving off.

Speaker 13 (11:55):
Kid.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Here's the word dating.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
You should date your kids. Absolutely, taking kids to say
take your kids out, but it's da dating your kids, sir.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I know that therapist from Alabama probably told you that,
but the highest.

Speaker 5 (12:10):

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Particularly of bringing the energy to mainstream radio, the black
radio sources.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Trust?

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Did you hear that I'm the home ground that knows
a little bit about everything and everything.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
She'd be having the latest ony thing you ask the
questions that need to be on the breakfast club.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Little brown girls look at you, and I want to
be like you. Hello, cool, talk to me all right, y'all?
Oh my god? All right, So yesterday, so Cardi b
is over in Paris.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's fashion weak and you know Cardi pops out at
all the shows, always looking always on the things hurt
and her team shout out to Colin Carter, nail it.
But one of the things that came out of yesterday's
shows Carti might have a new man, y'all. Now, look,
nothing confirmed, And I reached out everywhere that I could,
every which way, and I could about her and this
new man. So he's an international soccer player. I'm gonna

(20:07):
try to say his name, meduco O'KOI let me tell you, no,
he's not. But let me what he is playing is
a game of being fine. Look at this picture he
this man looks gorgeous. So Cardi B arrived at the
Jean Paul Gattier show and she's in like these big
because John Paul Gazier is like very like couture. So
there's like a lot of shapes and platforms and all

(20:28):
these things. So she's in these big heels. He stands
up to help her sit down in her seat. That
was the first thing. Then there was a video of
them on a balcony at another event. They're just like
talking and like you know, he's sitting on the balcony.
But listen, this is Cardi B. Newboo, I am here
for he is I am here for man.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
You didn't see no affection?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Oh no, no, no, you you gotta watch like the video,
well you gotta watch body language like no, there is
no PDA. But the way that they're talking, I mean,
and what.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Kind of man have you been with that?

Speaker 5 (21:03):
The fact that a man will help me get up,
regardless if he's dating you or not. That's what gentlemen do.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
He didn't help the other person.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Next, So how do you know that?

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Come on, there was a video you didn't have nobody else.
We ain't seem we ain't see him do nothing else
with nobody.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
The time it took.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
See did I tell him if he took a break
and gathered us up to Jake will be better by
the time he got there.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I am so proud of you.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
What I'm saying is is we don't know. And I
tried to ask. No one responded saying a whole family.
And so I looked at him yesterday.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
I looked it up and the last report of girlfriend
I saw it was like it was last year.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
So reality of the situation. All the women was lusting
over this guy last week, right, And so they see
a woman that they know with him, and so they're projected.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
They were like, damn, Cardy must want him, because I definitely.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Want to listen and the people literally that watch like
the videos of them together, and you'll see what I'm
talking about. Like you said, you got a rebody, even
if not. I think to see Cardi on that balcony,
she got the wine in her hands, she looking good,
he looking good, would you I'm.

Speaker 7 (22:08):
Not like you.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Excited.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
You got excited for my girl, my girl.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
You said he's giving.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Time, not once that it's a good look.

Speaker 17 (22:21):
You can't get around.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
You can't get around that.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
You can't get her.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
He's a good look at me. You can't get around it.
We're moving on, you love, come on.

Speaker 15 (22:31):
You.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
No I'm not. He's not in the tournament. No, no,
he's not in.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Brandy told me he's not anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Eliminated.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
I consulted. I think he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Look at you. You know his stuff.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
She has to know all that stuff. I thought y'all
were going to ask me those questions. I didn't take
eternal me. We know I would not.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
We're moving on and stuff like that. Making man that's
killed because you might meet that dude one day. He
got was in it, lusting all over that man.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
But you know what to your point though, right, we
did just see Ice Spice and Shylah Booth or Shylah
buff on the belt. It was the other one, I mean,
Toby Maguire, Maguire Ice pies on a belcony. And then
it came out not to be nothing, although I think
they line they said it was a bait okay, sharing
a vap whatever. That's still some type of going on,

(23:24):
but at least Toby Maguire was touching her arm. There
is no physical interaction umber party in this guy. No,
but I think we just the fans are just happy
from our girls.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
What it is if they are having a conversation with somebody, man,
somebody talk to people in their caddy.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Baby had that conversation.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
We talked about it for three minutes.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
The story been trying to go on all right. Now,
Yesterday I told you guys that the Emmy nominations would
be announced, and they have been announced. So just some
honorable mentions. Uh was nominated three times, and guess what
he was nominated for. Guys, tell me the Diddy documentary.
Now that documentary card. Yeah, the documentary crossed all of

(24:10):
that hype and it landed them three Emmy nominations in
various categories.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
So the categories are.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
He's so busy with that Nigerian on your phone.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
The categories are out Standing Documentary for or a non
fiction series. I'll standing directing for a documentary and non
fiction program and out stand in Picture Editing for a
non fiction program.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Doesn't regardless of how you felt about the documentary, you
know whether fifty should have did it or whether he
should have did it.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
The doc was great.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
It was very compelling.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, but to be Diddy sitting where he's sitting right
now and then the Emmy nomination has coming behind it,
something like dang when it rains.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
It for us?

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Isn't that kind of Diddy's nomination too?

Speaker 5 (24:46):
Should because it was about him?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
He should he might want that award.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
But I'm gonna tell you something. I reached out because
I was like, well, maybe he might think of it
that way, And I said, hey, do y'all have any
comment on the Emmy nomination.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
No, they didn't hang up. They just didn't text back.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
But they normally tell me I'm their alarm clock, like
his publicist, and that the clock didn't go off this morning.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
So yeah, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
So other than that, though, there's a lot of other
Emmy nominations. Randa Sykes was nominated for her special that
she came uparent talked about as well. Yes, Bad Bunny's
super Bowl performance was nominated. It's actually now one of
the most nominated Emmy nominated Super Bowl performances, which you
know that had a lot of conversation around it.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Have they had have they had a super as a
rock Nation super Bowl performance? Happened that hasn't gotten nominated
for a bunch of them.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
I was thinking about that yesterday. I feel like it
happens every single year since this point. Right, Yeah, so
they have, So he's been not It's a record breaking
nine Primetime Emmy nominations that he was nominated for out
Standing Variety Special, Lead Performer. He was nominated as a producer. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I know.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
You asked me about any new categories this year, and
I saw a category around reality television.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Let me see if they're doing the James Williams.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, that whole show. Janelle was also nominated as well too,
I see before we come back, yeah, because yes, I
believe this is his third Emmy nomination. Oh sorry, we'll
be back with some more if there are the podcast nominations.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
That's all right now.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
When we come back we got front page news, and
don't forget Mara brock a Kill will be joining us
this morning.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. It's d
j MV. Just Allarry show them and the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
Let's get in some front page news now tonight for news.
France takes on Morocco at four p m.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Eastern Time, representing France. I'm not representing a liar. I
got the flying, Nobody sent it to me.

Speaker 5 (27:02):

watch party before So look, yes, they just have the

France has no green in their flag.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Look like one of them.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Tony Parker ass okay, well why because what of light skin?
And I'm tall? Yeah, so shut up.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
Okay, good morning.

Speaker 9 (27:29):
So we start this hour with new developments in the
mysterious death of eighteen year old Nolan Xavier Wells, the
Mississippi teen. He disappeared during a fourth of July trip
to Horn Island, and the sheriff says investigators still have
no evidence that a crime happened, but the investigation remains
active now. Authorities they are asking anyone who is on

(27:51):
that island on the July fourth to come forward with photos, videos,
information about any arguments or unusual activity. But for Nolan's
family that isn't enough, they say there are still too
many questions that are continuing to need answers. So the
United Cajun Navy, Navy, they are a volunteer group who
helped search for.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Navy for Nolan.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Casun Navy.

Speaker 9 (28:13):
Yeah, the United Cajun Navy. They're a volunteer group who
helps search for Nolan. But they also say that they
have questions too.

Speaker 8 (28:20):
Let's listen.

Speaker 17 (28:21):
Yeah, I was told that there was a boat he
thought he was going to get on that was leaving,
and that he might have been trying to swim to it.
The only problem I have with that story is that
if the people in the boat knew he was trying
to swim to it, and they saw him getting carried
off with the current, they would have known about it.
They would have been able to react to it. Not
only that, even if even if that wasn't the case,

(28:44):
if he went into the water at all and became distressed,
it was so crowded that day that it seemed like
it seems hard to believe that nobody would have noticed
a distressed swimmer in the water. What I do know
is that he went out there with a number of
boys that has been his regular friend group since he
was he was young. They they were ready to leave

(29:06):
at about three o'clock. They told them it's time to go.
He had I was told he had started talking to
young lady and he wanted to hang back and keep
talking to her, and that he would believe that he
could get another ride.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
I just don't understand the story. I mean, especially when
they say no foul play, like you know, so he
so he just died. Where did they find a body?

Speaker 8 (29:26):
They found the body in like the off the shore
of the park rangers.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, I'm with you, it's just a it seems strange.
It was very packed.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
If he was swimming to another boat, nobody seen him.
It's like nobody seen nothing and somebody they came back
with his cell phone.

Speaker 8 (29:39):
They came, They came back with the cell phone and
his keys.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah. Something I don't understand. Why everybody he was with
isn't considered. I don't know such thing would at least
you know, did she be getting questioned?

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, well, you said one of the other kids fathers
is a judge.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
I'm getting to that good question.

Speaker 9 (29:56):
So meanwhile, the Mississippi judge whose son was with no
on the trip is speaking out publicly for the first time.

Speaker 8 (30:02):
So it's a woman.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
Her name is Ashley Cole. She says her son fully
cooperated with investigators and that Nolan chose to stay behind
on Horn Island after the group's boat began taking on water,
planning to return later with another group, like we just
heard the volunteer Navy officers say. But Well's attorney, who
has been Crump, says, there are conflicting accounts of what

(30:26):
happened that day.

Speaker 8 (30:27):
Let's listen to some of that.

Speaker 18 (30:29):
The fact that they continue to tell the family that
we don't see any evidence of any foul play, even
though you have students who recorded our altercation while they
were on the boats of argument where you had Nolan
and somebody yelling at one another own the boat.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
So that's an issue.

Speaker 18 (30:50):
And then you have the young lady make a statement
and she says, well, Nolan and I finished talking, and
Nolan said he was going back to the boat and
then the boys on the boat said no, Nolan told
them he was going to stay with her, and so

(31:11):
they are conflict. And she's saying he went and got
on the boat. They saying he didn't get on the boat.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
So which is it?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Why did y'all have this young man's keys in his phone?
That's what I want to know? Like that, that would
be like, why did y'all have his keys in his
phone but not him?

Speaker 9 (31:27):
Yeah, And I think those are the main questions. And again,
Judge Ashley Cole, she said that her son is fully cooperating. Now,
I don't know if they asked those questions and they
weren't answered, or they're waiting to talk about that through
their lawyer.

Speaker 8 (31:40):
But those are the questions that I think a lot
of people want to know.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
The fact that this case will come out though, because
none of them young kids are gonna be able to
hold this secret, for your conscious is.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
Going to eat you up.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
You're not gonna be able to sleep at night. At
some point, you're gonna break. They're too young to even
try to hold a secret like that.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
Yeah, And and there's one more thing that Ben Crump said.
He's also calling for an independent autopsy which is now
underway in DC.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
I think we have that really quickly.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
We're trying to be very transparent.

Speaker 18 (32:12):
Because the family has some concerns about the state of
Mississippi doing an investigation of the death of a young
black man where young white students may be looked at
as having some culpability. So the family is concerned about that.
So we're going to have an independent autopsy. We have

(32:34):
investigators talking to witnesses that have no alignment or no
allegiance to the state.

Speaker 8 (32:44):
So maybe some answers will come out of that.

Speaker 9 (32:46):
So we just have to wait and see, because right
now I think the family doesn't feel so safe with
just the sheriff Department doing.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
It, and so sure, yeah, and the official autopsy come
in has not come in, okays not come in yet,
and switching gears really quickly.

Speaker 9 (33:02):
So if you're planning a trip, getting your passport photo
maybe a little bit easier that the State Department is
working on a new system that could let you take
your passport photo right from your phone, so no more
trips to CVS, Walgreens, or the post office. So Secretary
Rubio says the new technology will use facial recognition to
make sure your photo meets government requirements, and the goal

(33:24):
is to let Americans complete the entire process, the application process,
at home.

Speaker 8 (33:29):
So that could be good. Really, yeah, that's what they're saying.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
I don't know about that if they don't do that one,
because you usually have to go to the passport office.
There's so many things you have to prove that you
you need your birth certificates, you need your maverage license,
you need your Social Security car. Then you got to
take the pictures sort of. Usually they got to do
it because they got to see it's you. And if
you can do that online, I think there's gonna be
a lot of people figuring out how to put other
pictures so they can travel.

Speaker 14 (33:53):
You know.

Speaker 9 (33:53):
The thing that made me gave me a little bit
of pause, was like, you can't vote from home anymore, right,
you can now take your photo for that's for a
photo like make.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
It makes sense, right Jesus.

Speaker 9 (34:03):
So anyway, these changes are expected to roll out over
the next coming months.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Right, that's it.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I'll tell you one day, that Nolan Well story really
disturbs my spirit man to think that you got people
out here that are so evil that you can watch
this young man get killed go on about your day
and then cover it up like it's it's nothing, you
know what I'm saying. Like you never see when a
cat does something and they just yeah, like god damn,
Like that's how you're treating this young man like he's

(34:28):
just very sad.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Like the boy.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
I don't care if nobody said God, it's still real
god pointish just folks like that.

Speaker 8 (34:33):
Yeah, all right, well, all right, well that's your front
page news.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Thank you so much, Mimi. Now when we come back,
Marra brock a Kill will be joining us. She has
a new novel out right now. We're gonna talk to
her all about it.

Speaker 15 (34:57):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I love being here with you guys. Thanks for having
me back.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
How you feeling amazing?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Feeling amazing?

Speaker 19 (35:02):
I'm feeling amazing. I have another story out in the
world in a new way of Dion Daphne. Yeah, I
get to Uh, the book allowed me to have a
bigger canvas, to go deeper, to go take up more territory,
to paint portraits.

Speaker 15 (35:20):
You know.

Speaker 19 (35:20):
That's what I've been doing my whole career. And just
to you know, to have it this way. I'm really
excited and and I've been on This is the I'm
I'm sort of wrapping up. I have one more stop
on my book tour. I'm headed home today. In fact,
I'm in the middle of production of season two Forever.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
They shout out.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Shout out to the team.

Speaker 19 (35:40):
The collaborators. They have been holding it down so that
I can prioritize this amazing moment in my life, a
debut novel, you know.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
And but yeah, so I have this.

Speaker 19 (35:52):
You know, I'm been telling making portraits in that medium,
and this is my first portrait on the page. And
I'm thrilled, I mean literally just way need to come
in here. I'm seeing the book out in the world,
people posting about it, read it in twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
It's a page turner.

Speaker 19 (36:08):
So the reception I'm enjoying receiving all of I think
the love that I poured into the pen onto the
page is coming back to me. So I'm amazing.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Inspiration, Like you don't never get tired. How does it
come to you? Because you know.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
People have writers blocked, they can't think about things, but
it seems like you never have it as you always
get inspired.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
I'm tapped in.

Speaker 19 (36:30):
I'm really clear on my life. I really believe in people,
place and purpose and I've locked in and so in fact,
one of my challenges is that I have so many
stories I want to tell, and I'm trying to figure
out with the pace of life and how do I
do it all?

Speaker 2 (36:48):
And also the challenges of business.

Speaker 19 (36:50):
Sometimes you're writing something, but am I writing something that
I'm going to be able to get into the marketplace?
So there's two things. And I'm still in the business
of storytelling, so I have to think strategically about where
do I go next and how much time it takes
me to get the story out and a book. I

(37:11):
really wasn't thinking about it at the time that I
uh and started engaging with the book. In fact, it
was my body of work that shout out to Chelsea Johns,
my editor, who reached out to me during COVID and said, Hey,
I'm such a fan of the work you do, such
complexity with black characters, human characters, specifically women. Would you

(37:34):
consider writing a book. I think your voice would translate beautifully.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
To the page.

Speaker 19 (37:39):
And I think sometimes you just need somebody to want you,
and somebody's like, I don't have to I don't have
to spend my energy on the proving of my such.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah, yeah, I don't have time for that.

Speaker 19 (37:50):
I gotta So that was that was lovely to experience
and so okay, so this is what I want to do.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
And in fact, this story I had I wanted.

Speaker 19 (38:00):
I thought about the story right after I got staffed
on Misha back in ninety five.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I saw you said that this story is Yeah, it's lizing.

Speaker 19 (38:09):
But I put it on the shelf and you can
see the subjects in some of my other I've touched
on it a little bit, but it wasn't enough room
to talk about what I really want to talk about.
And the book's alignment was that. And I also think,
going back to your question about the stories, I found
a new outlet to get these stories that are literally
living in me. It's almost like I getting this. I

(38:29):
feel like I've birthed a baby. Now I've got more
babies in there that I've got to incubate and get
out in the world, and so I do have a
lot of stories in me.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Well, let's talk about the book a little bit. The
setting is nineteen nineties. Yes, the plot beauty Editude Dion.
Her life gets turned up down her ex ride with
life threatening news because he has a potential HIV diagnosed. Yes,
so she goes on a road trip to confront a
childhood secret she's buried for decades.

Speaker 19 (38:56):
Yes, that is exactly she's meeting her like a lot
of us, dealing with the hits on our life.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Her recent hit. She's really doing really well.

Speaker 19 (39:04):
She's up for job promotion at essence, you know, it
was the mecha of where you wanted to work if
you were a black girl and want to be in publishing,
magazine publishing. And she's just getting over a guy who
took five years of her life and she wanted to
thought she was going to get married, and so when
that knock on the door, you don't ever think back

(39:25):
in the nineties, we did not think that disease was
even about us until it really took a lot of
us down. Because for a minute, you know, in the
late eighties, it was still a gay white man's disease,
but that disease was taking a lot of us out,
more specifically our neighborhoods, our communities.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Our women.

Speaker 19 (39:46):
Yes, yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
So she was living our best life. This knock comes
on the door.

Speaker 19 (39:54):
And in back then when we had to take the
HIV test, it was a two week eight Could you
imagine you your your heart is beating, you think, I
may this could be my life could be over with

(40:15):
this result. Well, that level of pause and reflection is
what Dion goes through. And she has to because the
homework you have to do during the test is to
write down all your sexual partners. And when you make
a list like that, you have to be Also you're
confronting yourself and the choices that you have made, things

(40:37):
that you've been complicit in and maybe those that you haven't.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
And that's a lot to face. And how did I
get here? I'm cute and trying to put this.

Speaker 19 (40:47):
You know, she's a beauty editor, so she's just trying
to tell you what the cutest makeup is and not
and just running away from all these things that you
think just because I moved away from home and got
some money in my post it.

Speaker 5 (41:01):
Yeah, it's so crazy, you know, you're talking about something
that happened that was big in the eighties and nineties,
and I just wanted to google.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
But it's it's still affecting so many people now.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
They're saying, like Atlanta has one of the highest rates
in the country, which is just very scary for people
out there now because I just remember how me growing
up in New York. And I know might be different
for everybody, but I felt like it hit New York
so heavy.

Speaker 7 (41:22):
Ye.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
In the late eighties it was big, and like you said,
it was a men's it was a gay white man's
disease in the eighties, and in the nineties it was
a crack disease, right, disease. People were shooting themselves up,
sharing needles, And just remember seeing it and people affected
by it. So I just remember how it was and
the fact that it's still we still don't have a cure.
We can kind of well, I don't even know we

(41:43):
have a cure because it's more management, but it's not
in well system anymore.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Well, it's interesting they're talking about prep.

Speaker 19 (41:51):
They're taking prep, and so then people our behavior around
sexual our sexual health people are not wearing the condom anymore.
So if I get it, then it's okay because I
have prep But why do we want to use our
energy that way? Why do we want to use our
resources that way? Why do we want to And I
think that's what I'd like us to because I just

(42:13):
want us to consider how we are using our energy
and collectively as people in general under oppressive regimes, because
that's like what's happening. But we've been managing generation by generation.
But I think we're at a beautiful just watching you
and be watch your daughter dance, what you and your

(42:37):
wife and your family have able to do for her
and the protection of her. We're at a very critical,
beautiful place of protecting our future by really dealing with
dealing with the stuff we don't want to deal with.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Now, we might as well.

Speaker 19 (42:51):
There's so much happening in the world, why not clean
out our closets? Just go on and clean out our
closets right now? To me, like Dion, because sometimes life
is just going to take the rug from underneath you.
And so when we meet Dion, the rug is taking
out from underneath her and she's got to go back
and face this idea of herself and how did I

(43:14):
get here?

Speaker 2 (43:15):
And I'm really hopeful that she will be.

Speaker 19 (43:20):
Sort of a champion character for and encouragement to go
on and bear your shame.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Can we talk a little bit about compartmentalizing, because I
feel like Dion does a really good job, and girls
like Dion who are like I have the career and
I'm successful. You can compartmentalize a lot of things that
trauma or whatever that get you to that point. When
does Dion, or even for you personally, when do you
realize that compartmentalizing doesn't help you even though you're successful

(43:48):
in real life?

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Really great question one.

Speaker 19 (43:51):
I think two things can be true, and we are
learning how to do that better and better, especially even
with the onset of social media. We know how to
present many different avatars of ourselves by hiding a lot
of times that origin story, and sometimes the origin story
is the fuel to get you to a certain place

(44:12):
because you're trying to prove to yourself I'm not the
thing that happened to me or or the choices I made.
I can wash myself clean with what we deem success. Right,
So it's easy to distract ourselves about success.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
You know about success.

Speaker 19 (44:28):
I mean, think about how much time we make content
for the ground, yeah, versus actually living the life. You
know what I'm saying on the ground, Yes, but your
life is still over here. So we're carrying two things
at once. And that is in of itself compartmental compartmentalization.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
So we have a skill.

Speaker 19 (44:47):
And it's not to say that that's a bad thing
all the time. You know it's but but that is
what we're doing. I am saying that is energy. And
you were saying, what for Dionne or for me when
you say it's just too much? When you are when
we are taking eat energy from our bodies and we
don't feel good, we don't look good, we're starting to
get sick. It's going to show up in your body

(45:11):
because you still are carrying it, whether you want to
pretend it's there or not, or you know it's there
and you want to ignore it, or you know what.
Let me drink this drink real quick to put it
to put it back to sleep. And every time you
drink that drink, you are adding more. This is an
energy gain people. You I'm saying, like what you eat,
what you drink, who you hang with. So imagine if

(45:34):
you're constantly holding on to the trauma that you never
dealt with, that you even lye into your therapist, like
you but you're pretending I go to church, I'm dealing
with it, but you're not really dealing with it. What
I think I'm really gifted at is talking about now

(45:55):
talking about the truth through fiction so that sometimes there's
just a little bit of a distance from it, so
that we can just there's a bit of an entertainment,
you know, to the storytelling is entertaining.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Let me hold your attention to give you a fable.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Then yeah, how does it affect your mental right?

Speaker 5 (46:12):
Because you're talking about trauma or sexual abused, generational pain healing,
So how does it affect you when you do it?

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Because you have to open up some of your wounds.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Yes, absolutely, it is funny. And then how we get vaccines?

Speaker 15 (46:26):
You?

Speaker 19 (46:27):
Yes, so you got to open it up, and I
think it's okay.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
You know.

Speaker 19 (46:33):
Even in fact, when I was writing this book, though,
there's like this last little the last like real effort
to know is this really a book? Because I literally guys,
I was like, if if this ain't good, I'm just
gonna give them they check back, because what I'm not
gonna do is come out with a book and be like, oh,
just fail. I had to know that I loved it,

(46:54):
just like when I when I wept in Forever the
last I loved it that I can rock with that
I know how to I know how to fight for, protect, provide, promote,
defend that body of work.

Speaker 13 (47:08):
And so.

Speaker 19 (47:10):
Oh and I think and that was that, that was
the last. You know, I think I'm a great writer
because I was afraid to talk like I really envy
people get y'all are here every day just flowing, trusting
your voice.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
Is it because you were a journalist prior to Soul No,
I became a.

Speaker 19 (47:27):
Journalist because I learned how my voice got trapped in
order to survive certain things.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
You silence is how you move for a second.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Right, because because this book does deal with secrets, you
think secrets protect us are to your point in prison us?

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Oh, absolutely, imprison us.

Speaker 19 (47:45):
But sometimes when you're you know, certain situations, you can't
say anything at that point because then you likely can
be harmed further than you're already being harmed. So I
silence was my protector until it becomes your oppressor when
you don't even know how to use your voice. So,

(48:06):
going back to writing, I think that voice was in me,
but I found it through the pen. Whereas in writing,
which is why I think I'm a pretty pretty good writer,
is I rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite,
re write, rewrite. Judge it before I'm happy with it,
when you off the cuff, your intuition, your feeling of

(48:29):
the moment. I never trusted that, And that's when it
started to feel like my oppressor, that I have things
to say and I'm not even like I've been on
I've been on your show, and I thank you for
always having me. But I feel better and better each
time because the nervousness of being if I say the
wrong thing and back when you know, you know, okay,

(48:51):
if I say the wrong I don't know where I'm
going to be and I'm and I almost broke into
tears watching you watch your daughter. I was hurt age
when things were happening to me instead of my father
somewhere providing for my ability to express myself as beautifully
and artistically. The amount of time and effort you and

(49:14):
your wife and your family have put into that child
and you have more than one child, that child and
see the greatness in her at nine years old because
she is loved and provided and protected.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Imagine if we were all that way. Yeah, and so
when I look at that, I'm like, I didn't have that.
I didn't have that.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Do you still long for it? Sometimes?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Like that feeling a protection?

Speaker 19 (49:39):
Well, this is what I wanted one of the revelations
I had in writing this book. But I love I
love all the storylines, but one of the storylines is
the friendship storyline between Dion and Farah. And every time
I do something, I do expect something back, but I
don't never know when the revelation of it hits me.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
But I had to edit the copy editing of a book.

Speaker 19 (50:00):
I see you with your book, jessin congratulation, but that
copy editing part is arduous.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
I just want to pull my hair out.

Speaker 19 (50:08):
And I was being kind of fussy in a bad
energy space, and I said, let me get my let
me get my situation together, let me this is the blessing.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Let me reread.

Speaker 19 (50:16):
And the chapter that I reread was when Parah and
towards the end of the book, where the arc of
that friendship is there, and what I realized so much
about the fringe. What really girlfriends are. Why girlfriends resonates
to this day is I now understand the power deeper
girlfriends or friends, guy friends. We represent sarrogate parents, and

(50:42):
they will hold us until we are strong enough so
that we can repair in ourselves. That's why I wanted
to get to It's about reparenting ourselves. So when you
asked me about the longing, I know need to long
because when I do, I then go do something for Mara.
I've been become the father that didn't I become the

(51:03):
mother that couldn't whatever for myself. And then what that
does is I can look at my parents and I
can put them in the context of their history, of
their life and of the world, and I can then.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Have empathy and compassion for them.

Speaker 19 (51:18):
And they've stopped becoming mom and dad and they become
their names, and I get to know them and I
get to love them, and then I get to know
better my name, and then I know better my purpose
and I understand. No, I don't that the things that
have happened to me were supposed to happen to me,
Because I am in my light right now, I'm my

(51:40):
best when I'm a storyteller, and so I'm here, and
even my guilt sometimes about parenting my career. I don't
always get to tuck my kids in, and I don't
get to make the right snacks, and I don't always
get to carpool my kids. So again a blessing. But
then I told them who I am opposed to the

(52:01):
kind of mother I think I'm supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
One of the greatest gifts you can give your kids. Yes,
when you have a conversation with your parent and realize
that person had a life for forty with your parents.

Speaker 19 (52:11):
Yes, Oh, it's so free and knowing that your kids
love you just as much as you love them and
they make But there is this when you free yourself
of guilt.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
I have all this energy back to think of more.

Speaker 19 (52:22):
Creative ways that I can be uniquely their mother, not
the way the picture says I'm supposed to do it,
or the way Jess does it, or the way that
I'm saying, or the way that Envy's.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Wife does it. I don't have to be like her.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
I can be like me.

Speaker 19 (52:38):
And because these kids chose us and they came to
get something from us, But I want to ask what
are we giving them?

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Are we giving our children.

Speaker 19 (52:47):
The best of who we are? Or do they are
still managing our unhealed pain?

Speaker 1 (52:54):
You know, I got to ask because every time you
mentioned the great girlfriend, come on, that was the last question,
single time.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
And it's a number this time, but.

Speaker 19 (53:06):
No, the first time I rave a number with with
you when I was promoting love is I gave a
number and that number still stands.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Is there any movement when you say there is?

Speaker 2 (53:19):
It's funny, you know there is this.

Speaker 19 (53:21):
It's interesting the last I think with the with the
success of Forever, I think when people are she's not
She's not gone.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
She still got it.

Speaker 19 (53:30):
Then there was some reach out, but oh, but can
you do it for this price? It's like guys, I no, No,
this is how I and this is where healthy Mara
comes into play. This is how I want to experience it.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Just like I want my sex this way, I want
my tea.

Speaker 19 (53:47):
I would just like to I want to experience it
this way.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
That's a powerful thing.

Speaker 19 (53:55):
Going back to the then, okay, whatever you want, it's
all about sex more in business. Whatever you want, and
then I may or may not get what I want
out of it because because some people pleasing. I'm in
a place right now with girlfriends. I don't I want
to do it. That I've made that clear, right, I
want to do it. The cast wants to do it,

(54:17):
but I but I believe there is a value on this.
It is And I also know what fifty million will
turn over.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
Is insane.

Speaker 19 (54:29):
And so if I can't do it the way that
I think it deserves, why am I doing it? And
so and I haven't come up with yet a story
that I'm excited to tell in a different budget because
guess what that is more energy, just more thinking. And

(54:49):
I've got a I got forever to do. I got
a book to promote. I got kids, you know, to raise.
I've got I've got a life to live to I
need to have. I need to put rest in there.
I got tennis to play, you know, I got you know.
And so I have a story that I think would
be amazing. And I think and also this is another thing.

(55:09):
What's gonna make people It's all these markers, like the
film's got to be this to get people out of
the house. So I need fifty million dollars to get
people out of the house and not just want.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
I don't want you to watch it on a streamer.
I want to say I want to wear Joan.

Speaker 19 (55:23):
I want to see Joan outfits. I want to see
Tony outfits. I want to see Maya outfits. I want
to see Lynn outfits. I want to see William suits.
I want to see I want to see people come
out and celebrate something we've been loving for twenty five years.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
And I want to have a party. I want us
to go out afterwards.

Speaker 19 (55:45):
You saying I want us to talk about I want
us to show up with our friends, this friend group,
that friend group.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Yeah, I want that.

Speaker 19 (55:54):
I want us to I want those ladies to be
at Canned killing the red car. You say, like killing it.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
That's everything they deserve and you deserve it exactly.

Speaker 19 (56:05):
So right now, I think fifty million is a bargain.
Otherwise I'll use my energy and I'll go maybe write
another book, or I'll go do something else, another storyline.
I know how i'd like to end girlfriends and how
I would like to experience it.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Could mar Brock and Kill be comfortable with not giving
girlfriends the proper work?

Speaker 18 (56:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (56:26):
Closure, because mar Brock and Kill gave it all.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
What about us.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
No, no, no, no, no, but I know I know.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
So then okay, so then what we're gonna start off?
Grow fundme right here? We can get Can we get
a million people to give five dollars?

Speaker 3 (56:44):
I think people would do that for you and girlfriends
so easily, especially with the new wave of like the
Netflix and people sitting down and rewatching it again. I
don't think that you think, I don't know if you
want to do that, But I think that the if I,
if I could, I don't want, guys, but I don't.
What I can do is go build a whole campaign
to go get I don't when I think about my time,

(57:07):
the amount of if you said, if you guys said
right now, we can go online and say a million
dollars for five a million people for five bucks, and
we have fifty million marble, go make that movie.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
But but if I I'm not begging, no, let me
show up.

Speaker 19 (57:23):
I think when we honor our artists, our storytellers, we
are the people who help build culture. Honor us, invest
in storytelling, invest in support so that we can all eat.
And because what's here's here's here's the truth about storytelling.
It's it's a great asset, you build girlfriends, and to
that end the economy will shift. People will buy outfits,

(57:46):
they'll buy tickets, they'll buy merch, they'll buy dinner reservations,
they'll go it, go go to the movie several times
because they want to be Joan, Tony Maya.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Anlin An Arrow, people's lives.

Speaker 19 (58:00):
Yes, and it's right in alignment with all the fashion
people who are putting out ninety stuff.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
It makes no sense.

Speaker 19 (58:06):
So then it has to ask you why, because there's
a constant devaluation of black women, and as a black woman,
I cannot participate in that devaluation.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
I agree with you, it's gonna happen. Man, it's gonna happen.
I know it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen at something.

Speaker 19 (58:22):
You have been one of my biggest supporters, and I
want to say always say thank you to you. Always
can you just so I can? What is it about
girlfriends that you love so much?

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Well, you know me and my wife and together. Oh,
it'll be twenty years this year, in twenty I don't
remember twenty five, twenty, I can't remember that. But when
she was in college, she's gonna kill them. And I
used to go and I used to go to her
house let them come back to life. She would always
be watching it. Oh and so I just started watching it,
and for me, it was like it was kind of
like how we talk about secrets. It was like women

(58:55):
black women especially letting men in on their secrets. Yeah,
I'm like, he's the kind of conversations y'all be having,
so and then it's becomes the conversation starter between you
and the women in your life. It's just something that
I ended up having an emotional attachment to.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
I love that. I love that.

Speaker 20 (59:12):
Well.

Speaker 19 (59:12):
Yeah, thank you for always having you guys always make
me feel safe, welcomed, and I really appreciate you guys,
And congrats again. Congrats to what you're doing and thanks
for me, thanks for letting me be a part of
your journey as well.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Thank you.

like people are like celebrating, they turn up and they
turn on music.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Justin Bieber is not what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Are they celebrating up to Madonna? Do you hear him
celebrating Madonna?

Speaker 6 (01:01:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
No, but her, Like you can put Madonna anywhere, but
like she here. I was like, okay, burning Boy. I
was like I get it because like it's burning Boy,
Like yeah, it's world. He's everywhere, cold Play, they just
I love Yeah Justin Bieber.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Yeah, I don't know, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
I will be honest though I've never ever cared much
about soccer, but this year, for some reason. I feel
like the FIFA and all the stories surrounding and all
the scandals and controversies.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Yah, maybe that's what they didn't change. So many different
things here.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Y'all know it should have been well, it would have
been over, but they added sixteen more teams. It's usually
thirty two teams, but it's forty eight teams, and it
would have been done like last week or two weeks ago,
but it's extended.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
I wanted to sit here and line like, I know
what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
You ever been seeing all the random like FIFA stories
pop up on your timeline and stuff like that, Like
there's like an investigation right now because of financial stuff things.
Then it was thirty two teams, but they added sixteen more,
so it's forty teams with the extra round.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
I'm still shocked. You don't realize Justin Bieble got some FU.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
I started by saying that I know he got the bops.
I just didn't see him fitting at like a halftime
show with like a FIFA audience.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
That is, it's so crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Even when I said yesterday in the producer car, they
thought I was crazy too. I just I don't know
I'm to see.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Him if you're if you're a global superstar like Justin
Bieble who has big global, worldwide hits, he can perform
at people.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Yes, I know future they remember him woman, so yeah,
because I know, like I've been out in like sporting
events where they dropped like March madness and stuff and
it goes crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
Future that coming crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
What won't see what happens. But speaking of stages and
people going crazy, y'all know, Chris Brown has been going
so viral for when he brings the ladies on the stages. Right,
So he issued a p s A to all the
ladies that got that come to the show with their
husbands and their boyfriends.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
If you.

Speaker 5 (01:03:26):
Show it's.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Yeah. So he was telling people. I know it's kind
of hard to hear, but he's telling the fans that
have the women, fans that have the husbands and the boyfriends,
don't come up on the stage because he don't want
to have to fight somebody. He does not want no
more jail timas what he says, I think it's crazy
that you would even go up there with a husband
or boyfriend, especially if you're there with that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
I think it's crazy too. Yeah, especially if you're there with.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
And I't got nothing to do with it. If you
decide to go go on that stage.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
The way.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Girl.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
Yeah, I don't blame Chris. I blame the girl. I
don't even blame the guy for bringing them. But you
you bowld as hell if you go up there in
your husband and your boyfriend. Yes, stud, because a lot
of stuffs is bringing their girlfriends and and and Chris Brown,
I mean he can't fight, no stuodor, nothing like that.
But it's like they get offended to, like, don't don't
pull my bitch of bed, Chris.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
That's fighting the stud man because you don't know you did.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
Out of your peripheral.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
You just see the white T shirt and some jeans.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Oh what did Chris pull? A stood up because they
see the cities through the flannel. Yeah, I know that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
We'll call little Millie to say, stud stand for some
titties under that shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
We wrap up the hour talking about performances. We know
there's a countdown to the uncon jay Z will be
here at Yankee Stadium this weekend in New York City.
And there's a story that I saw New York posts
due that I've been seeing people discussing about ticket prices
dropping for Jay Z's concerts. Now, to be clear, it
was sold out. People were re selling the tickets, and
they were reselling.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Them at so crazy minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Yes, and they were reselling them at crazy prices.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
So now people are starting to, I guess, like buy
tickets at or resell prices and noticing tickets are going down.
So New York posted a story and they were talking
about fees on seat geek and they talked about how
at one point in time they saw tickets for like
three hundred and ten dollars and then it went down
to one hundred and eighty three dollars. But I think
when he announced some more shows that messed up the
resale game, Like I think that that's.

Speaker 15 (01:05:25):
What I say.

Speaker 7 (01:05:26):
I guess.

Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
I think people look for reasons to be mad at home.
And if you really really think about it, happens all
the times, even with games, right, even with the playoffs.
The first time you see a playoff ticket, it's high.

Speaker 6 (01:05:36):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
Then if your team starts to win, the probability of
the tickets they go lower and lower and lower. That's
what everybody does. That happened with the NIXT happen with everybody.
I just didn't think people just this is this is
the cool time to hate Lisle.

Speaker 4 (01:05:46):
Let me earn my check.

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
Okay, okay, sorry, one hundred and forty thousand tickets were
sold this week. Okay, all the shows are sold out them.
That's we talk about. That's what I just said.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Okay, Charlamage, We're gonna give a Donkey of the day
too today, Yes, donkey today for Thursday, July ninth, goes
to a Fort Wayne, Indiana man named Christopher Peden. Okay,
Christopher Peden. Christopher is charged with one count of arson,
which carries a potential prison sentence of up to twelve years. Now,
I know what you're thinking. Who cares?

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
People set things on fire every day, Charlamagne, what's the
big deal? Well, I don't know if the deal is
biggeror not, but it was big enough. It was big
enough to set a garage on fire. Okay, what do
you mean the deal was big enough to set a.

Speaker 4 (01:10:25):
Garage on fire?

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
Uncle Charlotte, Just tell us what's going on already. Well,
let's go to twenty one, a live news for the
report Police.

Speaker 21 (01:10:31):
A thirty six year old Fort Wayne man is facing
a felony charge after he allegedly cut off his genitals
and used it while committing arsin Christopher Peton is charged
with one count of arsin which carries a potential prison
sentence of up to twelve years in prison. Four wayn
Fire Department was dispatched to a fire in May, just
as Fur Wayne Police Department officers were dispatched to reports

(01:10:52):
of a stabbing. According to court records obtained by twenty
one investigates. Peton told police that he was stabbed somewhere
downtown and that someone had threaten him the day before.
While at the hospital, Peden told an officer he was
dishonest at the scene of the stabbing, that he wanted
to be truthful for documents say he said that at
about two am, he went into the garage and used
a kitchen knife to cut off his genitals. Heiden said

(01:11:13):
he then poured gasoline on the dismembered organ and set
it on fire, leaving the garage and walking away until
he found police. At the scene of the fire, a
fire investigator located a gasoline container and four lighters, as
well as a near by kitchen knife. For records do
not detail whether the genitals were located.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
You know, Wow, In December, the Breakfast Club will be
going on sixteen years. Okay, I've been on this radio
every day for almost sixteen years telling y'all that avoiding
crazy is the key to life. But it's impossible because
you truly don't know who's crazy. You do realize, the
only reason so many of us are able to even

(01:11:55):
function on this planet and walk around comfortably is because
a lot of people know how the can troll they're crazy.
But then it's folks like Christopher Peden, okay, who don't.
All right, This man decided to crack castraight himself, okay,
decided to mutilate his own meat flute just to barbecue it. Okay. See,
we talk about glazing, right, and we usual to talk
about glazing a little while ago. Whenever a man is

(01:12:16):
celebrating another man, men like to say, oh, he's glazing. Well,
I hope in this situation Christopher.

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
Peden at least glazed himself wow.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
Okay, I'll hope he blazed his wow meat with a sweet,
sticky sauce before he decided to smoke his own park
saw it?

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
What is going on in the world when a man
decided to slow rose his one eyed yogurt slinger. The
thing that really bothers me about the story is this
no talk of drugs, no talker alcohol. I didn't even
see any discussion of mental health issues. Christopher, you decided
to pan see your rumpel foreskin, soa you decided to
stir fry your Indiana bone just because you gave yourself

(01:12:56):
a permanent vasectomy, and you want us to believe that
everything's just behind in that brain of yours. Nah no, no, no,
let me tell you how my brain works. Okay, I'm
trying to figure out. What did this man do with
his penis that he thought to himself, I don't deserve
it anymore? Okay? Did he put it somewhere he regrets
putting it? Has he not used it in so long
that he doesn't think he needs it anymore? Did he

(01:13:17):
have some type of SDD and he didn't have healthcare,
couldn't afford the medication to treat it, so he decided
just to give up his joystick. Listen, we all been
playing mad in the NBA two K and someone was
kicking our ass so bad that we threw the controller.
This is what this man essentially did with his pocket rocket. Okay,
he just throw it away, all right. I try to
make Donkey of the Day a teachable moment.

Speaker 4 (01:13:38):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
I think that, you know, therapy could help a lot
of people, But then I read stories like this, and
I'm like, Christopher don't need no therapist, he needs an exicism.
Please give Christopher Peden the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Oh no, you are the dog.

Speaker 7 (01:13:56):
The dog all the day.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
Ye, I know, when Christmas comes and he hears a
chestnuts roasting on an open fire, it's gonna hit different
for him this year.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
How the hell can you cut off your own meat
set it on fire like you grilling it, and just
how can you do that?

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
I guess a bradworst sausage.

Speaker 5 (01:14:26):
Yeah, like what you lie about it?

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
But then you found the courage to be truthful about it?
Like what was he trying to do?

Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
And she said the genitals haven't even been recovered.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
I think they said they don't know where they've been found.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
I don't know. Oh, okay, because I thought she said
this Jesus, that's just that's too much.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
And I'm just realizing his last name is Pete. From
now on, we gotta just call him Christopher Eden because
he didn't have anything to pee out of. Oh was
he trying to trying to?

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
I don't know. I don't know because I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:14:58):

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
What's going on with you?

Speaker 15 (01:15:55):
What's going on? What's going on?

Speaker 20 (01:15:57):
So?

Speaker 15 (01:16:00):
Uh? They white women? I got long story short, I
got mixed kids.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Mixed kids. We have white kids. Okay, because you called
your kids white.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
I'm reading what they have here, That's what he said.
Can I read what they brought here? How are your white?

Speaker 7 (01:16:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
I been done before.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
I didn't know if you adopted these kids or what.
I had no idea. I'm reading what they put there.

Speaker 15 (01:16:25):
It's always the light right in the room. So I
got the kids, and I ain't gonna say I woke up.
I've seen the light, the bruggle. It don't feel the
same with the white girl. So I'm growing up. So
I get rid of the stigma of just dating white girls,
because when I try to approach a black chicky, they
ain't messing with me because they find out I got

(01:16:47):
mixed kids and they ain't.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Damn Well, where do you live? Where are you dating?

last time, my god. You was like, I'm gonna get
down here, and.

Speaker 3 (01:17:14):
Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll get there, but listen
later for that. So you mean to tell me that
every black woman that you approach finds out that you
have all white access and they want nothing to do
with you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Are you are you serious?

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:17:30):
Nothing at all? Like I mean, it's either a mess
with me. But then you get that they show a
little different attitude towards my kids and I don't care
what color of my kids.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
Oh well yeah, no, they can't be doing that.

Speaker 22 (01:17:43):
That's too much, right, or we don't pass the bedroom
and then they find out we start getting serious, and
then it's like, oh you say white girls and not
and then they just start, you know, fading out.

Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
You know what's crazy. Okay, So how many girls does
this happen with? Because I'm gonna tell you exactly what
what the problem probably is. How many girls does this.

Speaker 15 (01:18:04):
Happen with a lot? A lot, like a lot of them,
I mean a lot Like I have one that lasted
about six one. Okay, you heard little side jokes in
there all the time, and we'd be out for dinner
and a white chick wile but she's like there you go,
there you guys like.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
You damn right, that's something I would do.

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
You know, you just got listen, you're gonna be the
butt of the joke a lot like when it comes
to especially because you know us black girls, we like
to joke about things.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
I mean, that's just what it is. We got humors.

Speaker 15 (01:18:37):
Women. Is it over like.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Out there?

Speaker 15 (01:18:43):
Or should I keep fighting this fight? Go back to
the male?

Speaker 9 (01:18:48):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
No, what do you really want?

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
What do you really want?

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
You can't just let a few women who who told
you like, nah, I can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
You can't let a few f ups with black women
not you know, like that's up your love for black women,
Like they can't force you back going to the white
You already had a revelation about the white people and
you said, no, you can't deal with them and don't
feel the same.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
They don't know you struggle.

Speaker 3 (01:19:09):
They don't know what it is to be black at all,
no matter how many times black goes up in them.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
You don't know what it's like to be black.

Speaker 6 (01:19:17):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
But that's the problem.

Speaker 15 (01:19:19):
I want a black queen, Don't get me wrong, I
want a black right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
I listen, this is the bad that you made, brother, brother, brother,
Now you know what I mean. It is what it is,
and it's not easy finding a black queen. It ain't
easy finding a black queen, and let me ask you, okay,

(01:19:44):
and no, no, that should never ever have anything to
do with it. No, your babies are totally off limits
as it pertains to like joking and all of that
and not being comfortable with you because they're not all black.
Who cares a little bit of black go a long way,
especially in your kids.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
Now, have you all right?

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Because I feel like the black the black women probably
feel like if they do something wrong, you're gonna leave
them for a white girl.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
How do you communicate with.

Speaker 15 (01:20:09):
I've heard I've heard that, yes, yes, and do you
I've heard my black I've heard my black game is
something swift is like, I don't deal with it. I mean,
I got my own stuff. I'm a trugger.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
I'm on the road now, Okay.

Speaker 15 (01:20:24):
I don't need a chick for nothing. But like the
minute we have a fighting this and that, I'm gone.
But I'll steal that for it out n No.

Speaker 3 (01:20:33):
See, the minutes you have a fight, you're gone. The
minute y'all have a fight, you're gone. That is the
red flag right there right See.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
White women will go for that. No white women to
go for that. Ish not wayne with none of that?
What you mean so you don't even know how to
uh solve conflict.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
You don't know how to resolve, you don't know how
to reconcile, you don't know how to communicate.

Speaker 15 (01:20:53):
And that's why, like I said, I'm singing on Fordy Burdy.
I'm single right now, and I've been single for a
couple of years, and I'm working on myself. I've been
listening to Charlotte. As far as the mental health and
the truck alone by yourself traveling the world, I.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
Mean it does absolutely, no, absolutely, I understand. I know
my husband's the trucker.

Speaker 15 (01:21:14):
Yeah, I know you're telling me I'm mad because you
know Chris Gottie. But what I'm saying is.

Speaker 5 (01:21:21):
It does it does to you.

Speaker 15 (01:21:23):
And I've worked on myself, continue working on myself because
I believe the work is never done.

Speaker 23 (01:21:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:21:29):
No, it's not like I feel like I'm ready now.
I feel like I'm ready now. Okay, they see the kids.
They asked you know, we asked all the questions. You
know you did as soon as they hear the mix kids, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
No, see, I honestly feel like that you're this is
like one like one group of women. This is one
type of woman, Like I'm telling you there is a
black queen out there for you, but I want you
saying you ready. You may be ready, but you will
never know until you put it to the test to see.
You got to stick around and you got to be
able to improve on that communication factor is one thing
that I can't speak for, you know, all black women,

(01:22:03):
but I can speak for a majority of us, you know,
because you know we're not a monolith, but we You
have to know how to love a black queen like
that's it, because because white love and black love is
two different things.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
I don't care what nobody say.

Speaker 3 (01:22:17):
Like, you have to know how to be there. You
have to be emotionally intelligent. You have to not get
up and storm out if y'all disagree on something. You
can't do that because how did you How did you
even make it? How did you and your white women
even make it to the point where y'all can have kids? Oh,
because those girls might not care about you leaving, Like
those girls may.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
You may talk to them any type of way.

Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
They may just take it, take it, take it, take
it and don't talk back to your ass or let.

Speaker 1 (01:22:41):
You do what you want to do.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
You may be able to walk all over you know,
Cindy and Mindy.

Speaker 5 (01:22:46):
Like you know what I mean, you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
But a black queen.

Speaker 15 (01:22:49):
So when I okay, So when you say I feel
like I'm ready now, you say, okay, I'll shoot my shot,
and that and that, and that situation pops up again
as far as the white mixed kids, and they try
to slow down and pump they breaks. What do I do?
From that one?

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
You on to the next one, because these are your kids,
Your kids are not like, No, my kids come with me.
I'm a package like and my babies. I don't care
who don't who can't see you know, and I don't
care who you are. My kids are my kids biracial
or not whatever like, But all black women ain't like that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
You just got to find the right one.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
Don't give up after two, three or four day ain't
easy And finally, black queen ain't easy. Evil Everybody'll have one.
Keep it pushing the brother, no problem, all right, Jess,
that's my mess.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
I think he probably just cosmetically challenged. He's not here
anybody kids.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):

Speaker 23 (01:23:59):
That's just why do you have parents that pine you
off for their crack habit that they.

Speaker 20 (01:24:04):
Can't tell the truth and they try to destroy your life.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Because they're not in neighbor, They're not. How long have
they been on crack?

Speaker 20 (01:24:10):
They've been on crack ever since I was a baby.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Oh wow, so.

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
They never they never had a break down, took a
break has just been this consecutively for twenty years?

Speaker 20 (01:24:21):
Day there, I'm forty six years old, it's more than twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:24:24):
Even know, Craig Head is gonna die. Ain't nothing wrong
with the crack now that dope is different. Sorry, but
I'm just no, because I hear you know, you hear
that crack heads, dyed crack heads don't die unless they
doing something else.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
That has nothing to do with this young No, I
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
But they still live a long life though. Okay, so
hold on.

Speaker 23 (01:24:39):
Trying to make hold on.

Speaker 20 (01:24:40):
Listen to your guys, Listen, I want y'all to get
the truth this morning. Okay, my daddy, my real daddy,
there's none but the crack head.

Speaker 14 (01:24:49):
Excuse me for cussin.

Speaker 20 (01:24:52):
He's a half paid informant on the police apartment. He
go knocking, he go get his crack from the big tamas.
Then he goes back and tells the police.

Speaker 12 (01:25:02):
Apartment who's in our thoughts? Guess who's paying for his sin?

Speaker 16 (01:25:10):
My grandma paid for first.

Speaker 13 (01:25:13):
Now's me.

Speaker 20 (01:25:15):
Now they trying to make me look like the bad guy.

Speaker 12 (01:25:17):
I'm not bisexual.

Speaker 20 (01:25:19):
I have three children that I love equally because my
mama and my daddy had favorite children, you understand. So
I thought my kids I love them equally.

Speaker 23 (01:25:29):
Because of what I came from.

Speaker 20 (01:25:31):
And it took a bitage to raise me, and it
took one woman to show me that you love equally.
So sometimes when people put bad bones out there, you
three fives to a store the truth.

Speaker 12 (01:25:45):
The ugly, and somebody out there is in the middle
and don't know the truth.

Speaker 5 (01:25:49):
So what's your question though, Yeah, I guess that's what.

Speaker 7 (01:25:54):
I need you to do.

Speaker 12 (01:25:55):
Thank you, Sola man.

Speaker 16 (01:25:57):
I just want to vent when people put it out there.

Speaker 20 (01:26:00):
Out you and you trying to move on about your life,
and you're trying to help somebody that say, you meet
them right indirectly, you meet the first person first, then
years later you meet the second person that's gonna can
to them. Next, the first person you meet, you help
their family with somebody because they needed care and they
didn't know who returned who returned to and they seen

(01:26:22):
you in public.

Speaker 12 (01:26:23):
Then next you meet their family member later and then
you fall in love with their family member, so they
realize you don't want nothing but good for them.

Speaker 13 (01:26:31):
So when your.

Speaker 20 (01:26:32):
Family see you trying to do something good for yourself,
your family.

Speaker 12 (01:26:35):
Be the worst enemy to destroy you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
Which is my dad, Okay, through that moment.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
So you don't have a relationship with him whatsoever, like nothing,
like there's no civil conversations to be swallowed.

Speaker 12 (01:26:49):
He told me, listen, I don't have spectrum. He put
me on all these programs when I was a kid, right, Okay,
So basically there was a boxing glove on me.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Want me to hit the glove.

Speaker 12 (01:27:01):
I hit that glove so damn hard because I wanted
to hit his answer because he was never in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
Okay, So that was the outlet for you.

Speaker 16 (01:27:08):
So that was the outlet for me. Can't be a daddy.

Speaker 12 (01:27:13):
He's immature.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
You understand.

Speaker 12 (01:27:15):
I didn't ask him to member with my mama.

Speaker 15 (01:27:18):
He did it on his own.

Speaker 12 (01:27:19):
He should have got them and cut off his own
produce him in.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
Yeah, there's a lot of anger, and you know it's
a lot of trauma there. And do you have a
therapist or is that someone that you can I don't need.

Speaker 23 (01:27:33):
No therapist, especially when you have been raped by family
and family friends and their damn boddy, and then you
gonna apologize to your family for what you did to
them because you want your kids.

Speaker 12 (01:27:45):
And their kids to have a relationship.

Speaker 23 (01:27:47):
I'm gonna put the whole damn thing on the line.

Speaker 16 (01:27:49):
You understand.

Speaker 23 (01:27:51):
If I'm woman enough to nick what the hell I'm
going through, then.

Speaker 16 (01:27:55):
I don't need a therapist.

Speaker 12 (01:27:56):
That's say I recover and I'm trying to move on
to do the best and when I came home, get
a job and get my kids back.

Speaker 14 (01:28:03):
Because my oldest don't have no kids.

Speaker 12 (01:28:04):
Well, I will don't want no kids because I scrubble.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
I will say you probably you know, I always think
therapy is good, but I think what you're what you
are looking for is some sort of healing.

Speaker 23 (01:28:13):
Yeah, no, baby, I'm here. I just don't want them
to leave me the hell alone.

Speaker 1 (01:28:17):

tells me the truth, the real reason why she don't
want to deal with my daddy, and.

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
So yes, congratulations, goddamn young woman.

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
I could spend that remix with JT. Would that be
kind of fire City Girls?

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
That would? Yeah, because that's always like That's one thing
about JT. I've always always shows up like she. I
loved the hair of voice cadence on things.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
But and I know JT got a verse for that
record right now, let me tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
That would that's her old ways. She wanted to get
away from it. She served some times, she went to jail.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
She don't want to that. What if that song triggered her?

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
I don't know, but I know Young Miami been saying
she want Drake on the remix that was right there. Yeah,
she said she wanted to drink, but.

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Yeah, she said she wanted Drake.

Speaker 4 (01:32:29):
Drake seemed like the guy to get scammed by them.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
Yeah. I don't know, but if her and JT were
to get back together just for that song, that would
break the chart, Yes it was, it'd be amazing. But Okay,
in other conversations about women and you know, the narratives
around women, because you know, Young Miami had to people
going this week, we talked yesterday about lex Andrea doing

(01:32:52):
club so they sat down a three hour interview, really
great interview with Shannon Sharp. And one of the clips
that are picking up from the interview is when they
talk about Daphne Joey, who we talked about the sex
safe that she was in with the Diddy. Let's take
a listen to the girls on club Shase shape.

Speaker 4 (01:33:07):
The Daphne George situation.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
Do you feel like black women do y'all feel that
they're judged more harshly about their sexuality?

Speaker 7 (01:33:14):
For sure?

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
I think black women are always judged more harshly when
it comes to anything, and we do.

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
They'll be like esus, Yeah, this is no shade to Daphne.
I think when you have a moment, you take it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
But seeing the reaction of people the way they treat her,
even there ain't no takes outside of me Andrea doing nothing,
but the way people act towards us, just because we
talk our dating experience, Yes we get treated like, oh
my gosh, you would have thought that we killed somebody's
mother or something like. Even with like how the ways
they treat Italian, you know, because of her lyrics, they

(01:33:46):
treat us like we are just the worst thing. Ever,
then you have this woman who has a sex safe
she not one but two, but they're like, oh, you
see how feminine she is and how soft and how
beautiful and all this and that It's just like, are.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
Y'all for real right now? Like I said, no shade her.
It's very It's just interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:34:02):
I feel like we haven't seen a black woman be
in a situation like that and get the same type
of attention and all the right.

Speaker 1 (01:34:08):
I agree with all Lexi's points, except for my algorithm
must be different because all I see is people calling
Daphney Joy hope.

Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
I did say that I saw a lot of oh
I see why fifty one of her because she's so soft,
she did that little laughing flip over her hair. Maybe
even our producers here melted so quick. I was like,
hold on, I saw a lot of that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
I saw a lot of that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:33):
I used to we said, why are you even talking
about this?

Speaker 6 (01:34:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
I didn't. I did.

Speaker 5 (01:34:38):
They called and all types of activity. I see anything
positive and sought about it. I think people got more
mad about her trying to say big.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
In the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
He wasn't saying I hope you want to know that
was simone with a hard.

Speaker 3 (01:34:53):
Oh god, well lex Andre, Well, lex actually responded to
some of the pushbacks to this clip, and she was
saying that, uh. She said that she knew that when
the video dropped that they were going to get caught
everything but a child of God, or she was gonna
get caught everything but a child of God. That was
in the comments going crazy like for no reason. I
feel like the opinion was valid as well too.

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
But I'll fight you over Dre and Lex. I just
want you to know that, Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
I want to cluse Bond for the Poor Minds podcast

to us send another congratulations out to somebody or a
group of people. Bone Thugs and Harmony. They got their
star on the Hollywood Walkers yesterday Congress. Yeah, I saw
that yesterday and I saw Fat Joe spoke there. I
didn't know. I learned in real time how instrumental they
were in Fat Joe's career by bringing him on tour
stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
I never knew that story, y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
I was selling millions and millions and millions of record
during that time.

Speaker 3 (01:35:48):

Speaker 5 (01:36:10):
Callin most studies trappers say this, like my.

Speaker 1 (01:36:16):

in the school track at the time, throw them a
rollie in case, we got to cook into the crowd,
go get a stoly Oh g I'm more like one
than then. That's why that is retarded record. And I
like when I like when artists sound like where they're from. Yeah,

(01:36:38):
