Speaker 6 (03:27):
So we're gonna be kicking it with them in a

morning everybody.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
It's DJ Envy, Jesse, Hilarry and Charlamagne the guy.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page
News now.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
Last night, Monday night football, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the
Packers ten to seven. That was did y'all watch the game?
And now did you see a game? Not even the
first half of the game.

Speaker 2 (03:55):

A nice little nah salutor Brian.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
What's up? Mimi?

Speaker 8 (04:15):
Good morning, MV Josh, Charlamagne, how y'all.

Speaker 9 (04:18):
Doing this morning?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Please me me?

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (04:20):
Good morning?

Speaker 5 (04:21):
All right?

Speaker 8 (04:21):
Always started this morning in Washington, where after forty one days,
the Senate has approved a deal to finally reopen the government,
the last step before it heads to the House for
a vote.

Speaker 10 (04:32):
Now.

Speaker 8 (04:32):
The plan would keep most agencies funded through January thirtieth,
and extend programs like SNAP, food assistants and veteran services
through next September. It restores back pay for federal workers,
protects jobs that were at risk, and insurance food.

Speaker 9 (04:48):
Aid continues through twenty twenty six.

Speaker 8 (04:50):
But it leaves out a major Democratic priority, extending those
healthcare subsidies that helps millions of families afford insurance. Instead,
Republicans agreed to hold a separate vote on that issue
by mid December, which progressives say.

Speaker 9 (05:06):
Does not go far enough.

Speaker 8 (05:08):
Some groups are now calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer to step down, accusing him of failing to keep
Democrats united after eight Democrats crossed party lines to help
Republicans pass that bill. Now he came, jeffrees he is
addressing the media. He addressed the media shortly after that vote,
saying that this fight should not be about partisan politics.

Speaker 11 (05:31):
Let's listen, this fight for us is not partisan. It's
a patriotic fight. We're waging this fight on behalf of
the American people. The five states that are most impacted
by a failure to extend the Affordable Care Act tax
credits are West Virginia, Wyoming, Alaska, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Forty

(05:51):
five percent of the people of the Americans who are
going to lose healthcare or be at risk of losing
health care if they don't on the other side of
the out extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Forty five percent.

Speaker 11 (06:04):
Of them are registered Republicans, thirty five percent registered Democrats,
and twenty percent unaffiliated or independent. This is not a
partisan fight for us, It's a patriotic fight.

Speaker 8 (06:18):
Now, all eyes turn to the House, where Speaker Mike
Johnson is urging members to return to Washington. He says
he's confident that the measure will pass, but a stop
short of promising that the House will take up that
separate healthcare vote Democrats were promised in the Senate.

Speaker 9 (06:33):
Let's listen to that exchange.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
So you're not committing to bringing up a bill that
deals with the Obamacare subsidies before they.

Speaker 12 (06:40):
Expire, I'm not committing to it or not committing to it.

Speaker 13 (06:43):
If something passes the Senate, it would only pass on
a bipartisan basis.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Would you bring it up.

Speaker 12 (06:49):
I can't commit to anything that hasn't even passed through
the Senate yet.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
I mean, I've never done that. I'm very consistent. I've
been speaking for over two years.

Speaker 9 (06:57):
So that is the latest with that.

Speaker 8 (06:59):
And as you were mentioned earlier in those snap benefits,
there's still some more ongoing litigation with that. So the
Trump administration they returned to the Supreme Court yesterday asking
the justices to step in and keep those full payments
frozen while the government remains shut down. This comes after
the lower court's ruled that the administration must resume those

(07:19):
full benefits for forty two million Americans who rely on
the program, and the Supreme Court could rule on that
as early as today, but for now, the rulings have
created a confusing patchwork, with families in some states like
Hawaii and New Jersey receiving their full benefits, while others
in like Nebraska and West Virginia have received nothing at all.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Am I the only person who thinks folks are being
too hard on Democrats with this one.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Democrats finally did something that they normally don't do, which
is fight. And I really wish Democrats would just be
honest and let people know like, look, we tried. You
saw us tried, Like we threw a hell Mary on
behalf of the American people, even though we know MAGA
had zero reason to make any sessions does We did
what we could, but we have zero power and we
couldn't get it done. And yes, we understand people are

(08:06):
going to lose health care or at risk of losing
health care. We know healthcare premiums are going to go up,
but there was nothing else we could do.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
And they're really damned if they do.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Damned that they don't in they situation because if you
don't reopen the government, now you got people not getting this,
not benefits, federal workers not getting paid like.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
They really had no other option if you ask me.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
Yeah, I think people are upset that they gave up.
I think for once they wanted Democrats to stay in
the fight. They felt like, coming after coming off off
of that election last week, that they had momentum and
then they just basically gave it away.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
But at what expense?

Speaker 14 (08:38):
That's yeah, But that's the other thing.

Speaker 8 (08:40):
At what expense, I mean expence of the federal workers,
at the expense of people not getting paid. But you know,
it's like what they were saying yesterday, putting sick children
against hungry children, right, right.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
But it's also incredible to me the belief in the
faith that people still have in MAGA to do the
right thing.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
MAGA does not.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Care, like they have zero reason to make any concessions
to Democrats on this situation.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
They don't care.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
I don't think MAGA has ever made a concession. I
think they do what they want to do, and it
is what it is. Either you roll with them or
you get rolled over. That's what it's always been.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's just incredible to be the belief in the faith
that people still have in a Republicans. I just don't
have any faith in them to do the right thing.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
Ever, Yeah, and really quickly, Donald Trump he has issued
a new round of pardons, this time for several allies
that help overturn the twenty twenty election. The list includes
about seventy seven people. Some names you might know Rudy Giuliani,
Sidney Powell, who was a former Trump attorney and White
House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows for those pardons will

(09:42):
wipe away any federal charges or potential investigations connected to
their roles and trying to keep Trump in power.

Speaker 9 (09:48):
After his twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Loss, I wonder how many people who like what President
part in The most people had to be Donald Trump right.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Looked up.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
It just has to be right. It seems like he
just parts everybody.

Speaker 9 (10:00):
But he's partying with the wrong people. January sixth was
not everybody, every.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
But I just feel I just feel like he just
Usually they pardon at the end of the presidency, right
before they leave they party.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
He just pardoned people like it's Tuesday and I'm just
gonna partner people.

Speaker 7 (10:12):
This is gravy.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
All right, Well, actually it says Franklin D. Roosevelt. But
three thousand, six hundred and eighty seven.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Parties of Clemency's Damn from nineteen thirty three to nineteen
forty five.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
All right, well that is front page news. Thank you
and me, everybody else, get it off your chest. Eight
hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
need the vent phone lines wide open again. Eight hundred
five eight five one oh five one.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Is the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 15 (10:37):
Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I'm telling what.

Speaker 16 (10:44):
You doing.

Speaker 15 (10:46):
You if this is your time to get it off
your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Eight hundred five
eight five one oh five one, we want to hear
from you on the breakfast clubs.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Hey guys, Hey, good morning, good morning to your chest.

Speaker 16 (11:02):
Are you doing girl?

Speaker 17 (11:03):
How you doing? I really, I really didn't think they
should have I know both sides. I just swear I
wish they had not given up that fight. I know,
I know, but it's just chucks.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Hum.

Speaker 17 (11:22):
I gotta go a lot of them gotta go though,
a lot of them just have to go because a
lot of those feats that were suffering, those are red seas.
And I'm gonna answer your Christmas Solomon, how how some
of the magis still believe what they believed. My husband
was channel surfing yesterday and I was walking by the

(11:42):
TV and I heard the TV say yes because the
Democrats did the shutdown. I did a Democrats because I
didn't know what channel it was. I said Democrats. I
said they liing. So he said, oh, I was just
going to have Fox News. So just for me to
share that walking by the TV. Can you imagine sitting
here twenty four hours seventy for weeks listening to that line.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well, well, I'll say this. I agree Chuck Shuman needs
to go.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
But when I was talking about people's belief in faith
and Republicans, I'm not even talking about their supporters. I'm
talking about people on the other side of the aisle,
the people that think that, you know, that Republicans would
make any concessions to Democrats during.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
This shutdown, I'm talking about them. I'm like, how do
y'all believe in cross over?

Speaker 17 (12:25):
Yeah, the ones that cross over. But they all need
a goal. That's one. I'm so glad these young people
running for office, running for dog catcher, running for something.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Running a dog catcher.

Speaker 17 (12:40):
I mean, really, Charlomagne, at this point, we all need
to try to be on some school board something, because
we get ran over. And you remember when we were
going to school, we had cousins, aunties, whatever, the school board.
Our spread with absolutely these people. We don't load these people,

(13:05):
and we let people just tell our kids anything in school.
We don't go to the school. You know, you don't know. Now,
you can't just pop up in the class.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yep, you got to make an appointment class. That is true.
That is true.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Though growing up because like my whole life I knew
Window gill Yard just because.

Speaker 17 (13:31):
On the project.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
That's right, But you know, you know what they do
that for safety too though, because like the other day
I had to go to my kids, I had to
go to parent teacher and for parent teacher.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Even though they see me every day.

Speaker 17 (13:41):
We ain't cheating up school.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
I know, even every day they still make they still
took my drivers they stop day.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
I love that, you know what it is.

Speaker 17 (13:51):
Also they want to make sure they teachers up in
front and playing them knowing that you're coming too, because
a lot of songs we believe these teachers. Like when
we were coming up, everything the teachers say it was
the truth. I mean, we can't say that about these
teachers and principles now you don't know them.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
But it's also different, like my mother was my mother
is the public school teachers in South Carolina. You know,
she's the teacher at Courtney and she teached in Berkeley County.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
And then my grandmother was a lunge lady.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
And like even like I said, Whndell Gilliard is he's
like seventy some years old now, but he was just
a politician that I knew my whole life in South County,
like I said here, absolutely.

Speaker 17 (14:39):
But like that, that's the point you make when we
knew these people.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Are you right?

Speaker 17 (14:43):
We got to get back. We think that we got
so much skeletons in our closets. Man, we ain't got it.
We can see down and we ain't got nothing compared
to these people.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh, you're right, You're absolutely right.

Speaker 17 (14:54):
We need to run for something. We need to take
our schools back, and I gotta go.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, I know, Steve Perry, Man.

Speaker 17 (15:08):
I love this man.

said what I needed to say. God bless that brother,
and uh I salute the platform he's built.

Speaker 21 (19:11):
Like I said, I just love to see my brother
someone like you who do what you do.

Speaker 21 (19:16):
I say what you do. You're from the Carolina and
not mest you before quite some time. But I'm thinking
to think. So you know, I'm way older than you,
and like I said, rolling the lot to start too
far behind me. I just hope that the energy gets
few the light somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
But a lot of them be loving him.

Speaker 22 (20:43):
Though they do a lot of it be coming from
a place of love. But they'd be like, tell him
stop this, and why he say that? But yes, so
we got some things to get straight.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
It's an exclusive.

Speaker 22 (20:53):
We're gonna have some conversation about Diddy and some of
the things in the news.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Lauren becoming a straight fast.
She gets somebody that knows somebody.

Speaker 14 (21:08):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything,
and she'd.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Be having the latest on you, the latest with Lauren
la Rosa.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit everything.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
On the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 22 (21:22):
Talk to me, good morning, all right, y'all. So we
have some things to talk about. So yesterday we were
able to speak to Justin Colmes, who is the son
of Diddy, Sean Colmbs, and we have.

Speaker 14 (21:36):
Some things to clear up.

Speaker 22 (21:36):
So first of all, we talked about that alcohol story, right,
and I had already told you guys that Diddy's rep
said that that was not true whatsoever, but yesterday I
found out. Of course, they you know, tripled down on
the fact that that story was a lie. They alleged,
but they say, the back this up that Diddy is
in a program currently where they check him, like checking
with him every day, like they're testing him every day

(21:57):
for substance abuse, So there's no way that he could
have been under any influence with Yes.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
They said, he's in the r ADAPT drug program, and
they said if he was found with any liquor and
anything around that he would not be able to be
in that program. So that tells you that that that
he is being monitored and that he is in the
r ADAPT program drug program. He also said he's very
focused and committed to coming home and being a changed person.
So he wouldn't play with that because he is, uh,

(22:25):
he wants to see his daughters, he wants to see
his sons, he wants to see his family, So he
is not.

Speaker 14 (22:28):
Playing because you know, calling you too, Okay, you're supposed to.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Give you the informations to report that.

Speaker 14 (22:39):
I don't mind.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I spoke to him for a long period, thank you, No, justin.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
Justin yes.

Speaker 22 (22:47):
And then so there was a photo yesterday that was released.
It was Didy's intake photo when he got to Fort
Dix in the conversation.

Speaker 14 (22:56):
Just damn okay, so.

Speaker 22 (22:59):
Hard Well, it was his intake photo when he got
to the place where he is currently. And the story
that CBS News did they broke the story with the
photo was that he is working in a chapel in
the library. And you remember there was a report that
he was doing laundry. We were told yesterday that that

(23:21):
was not that's not true. He's not doing laundry. He
is working in the chapel and according to CBS, this
is a very highly coveted job.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
And watching draws for Dix. I refuse you did another
job doing that, That's what they said. They said.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
The rumor was he was watching draws. He's not watching draws.
He's actually in the chapel. He's working in the chapel library.
And he also has the program free uh Free Game
with Diddy.

Speaker 22 (23:45):
Yes, which is that program where he's teaching them like
business one on one and like you know, entrepreneurship and
just different things that he was doing before he got
to this location as well too. Now another thing, those
conversations about Trump and the party. There was a story
that broke two weeks ago that said that Diddy is
all good walking around smiling because he's telling other inmates
at the location he's at that Diddy is going to

(24:05):
pardon him and Diddy Trump is going to pardon him.
Early twenty twenty six, we were told that is completely
not true. He hasn't had any conversations with any of that.
And then also yeah, like MB said that he's super
focused on coming home, like so he just wants to
get out of there, like he's not doing anything to
damage or to push any of the time back, like
that is his focus right now. So they just wanted

(24:27):
to clear up some things.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Where do people be getting the stories from though, like
they just keep.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
So they said, where do.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
People that's not really your headline though, he said, man
in jail wants to come home.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta do all others. He said that
the headlines that you see on TNZ are all false.
He said, none of that'srael. He didn't have that. He
was never with no liquor. He said, he's focused on
being home. He said he works at the chapel, not
watching anybody's underwear. He said that the pardon situation, he said,
that's false because he doesn't even they don't even speak
to any of the inmates, so that wouldn't even be

(24:59):
a story. So he said a lot of this stuff
is just made up to make him look even worse
than what's happening, because he said none of it's true
and it's all bs. He said, he just wants he
just focused on getting home.

Speaker 23 (25:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (25:08):
Just They also said that he'd be hearing all the
jokes too.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
He gets it.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
He said, he understands the.

Speaker 22 (25:12):
Yes every yeah you say that, I don't even be saying.
I just looked at you could do in front of me.

Speaker 24 (25:19):
Jess Charlotte Maney yesterday. Yeah, that one line of yesterday
that that was a good one with the take that,
take that, but you're talking about okay well uh and
other news. So Beyonce Uh and Miss Tina Knowles were
outside over these last few days now, They've been a

(25:40):
couple of places and it's it's kind of funny. So
first they went to Chris Jenner's seventieth birthday party. Now
there's seventieth birthday party, superstar studyed. All the biggest names
that you can imagine in Hollywood were there. But it
was reported that jay Z and Beyonce were there, but
you didn't see any photos of them, and the report was,
you know they did with jay Z and Beyonce, do
cameras couldn't catch them.

Speaker 14 (26:01):
Miss Tina Knows uploaded a photo.

Speaker 22 (26:03):
So first she posted a photo of of her, Beyonce
and Chris Jenner, and she then reposted the same photo, but.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
No, this is Chris. Uh did you know she looks
so much like Yeah?

Speaker 22 (26:17):
Yes, did she repos Missina Knows reposted the same photo,
but like she had the white background of white lines
around it. So you know, you can't make a photo
fit on Instagram. So she said that put it in
a border. Yeah, she put the border around and she said,
I posted this earlier but didn't know how to make
it fit in the ig, so I had someone to
fit it in so you could see the whole picture.
I'm seventy one, gives me a break. So they look

(26:39):
they look gorgeous. But of course now people have photos
of Beyonce at the party, and Beyonce was trying to
be low at the party.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
Trying to be low, and yeah, please believe that it
was so cute that Beyonce said, mom, you could post
this picture?

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah you know, of course.

Speaker 20 (26:55):

with beyont when she posted certain things on when she
like clap bag or whatever.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
She she said, she did be getting the trouble. I
remember that she said that.

Speaker 14 (27:31):
That's why I thought it was so.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
I didn't tell her to post it. She probably just
was like, my baby, look cute and I'm post it.

Speaker 22 (27:36):
Yeah, and it's seventy yes, and it was a James
Bond birthday party.

The last place said they were at Beyonce and Miss
Tina knows They went to support Kelly at the Boy's
Mind Tour. They went, yeah, Miss Tina Knowles posted two
separate nights, but Beyonce and one of the photos has
on a backstage pass right around her neck. You know

going crazy because they're like Beyonce girl, like why do

(28:51):

Speaker 14 (28:52):
Like you don't.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Stage, But that's what Beyonce.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
And told y'all a million times. Beyonce is the person
that walks in the room and introduces herself to everybody like, Hi,

Speaker 2 (29:06):
So she is not above wearing a backstage past.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Somebody gave her that and said, hey, you need to
wear this backstage She probably putting on whoever gave her
at this foul like, why need the backstage past?

Speaker 2 (29:16):

to hers. Hey, where you going? Where are you going?

But if the Mexican give me, y'all reason, no excuse

the clues bump for that Mexican security. I know it
was a Mexican too, Jesus.

Speaker 6 (30:10):
So that is the latest for Laura. Now when we
come back, we got front page news and don't move.
It's the breakfast club come morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Jess hilarious, Chelamaine the guy. We are the breakfast Club.
Let's get back in some front page news.

Speaker 20 (30:23):
Now.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
The Eagles beat the Package last night and Monday Night
Football ten to seven, and the Giants have fired their coach,
their head coach after blowing another double digit lead.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
In the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
I'd be wondering if a fan to fire the coach
man when the players sucked.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Though, you know what I'm.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Saying, like you you should fire a coach when you
know that a coach got like great players on the field,
but when you're not getting the best out of it.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
But when you up in the fourth quarter for four
games and you lose four games and you're up.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Double digits because the players suck.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
They wouldn't suck if they were up in the fourth
quarter by double did you leaves?

Speaker 18 (30:56):
Like?

Speaker 6 (30:57):
The games are good? Like we're busting ass into that
fourth quarter? Watch that you don't know anything?

Speaker 2 (31:05):
So y'all play those up, some of them?

Speaker 9 (31:08):
You mean.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Jackson Dolery though, Oh all right, well you looked down
when you were playing.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, Russell Wilson, start next week.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Oh lord, seven receptions? Man, may me help me by
the third quarter?

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Leave me alone? Come on, Mimi.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
Goodness okay, yeah, Well, good morning, Josh Charlamagne, and be
how y'all doing this morning?

Speaker 9 (31:28):
Good morning?

Speaker 8 (31:29):
All right, So we start this hour with the latest
at the airport. So, even with the Senate deal to
reach that shut down, that news, the FAA still hasn't
lifted its nationwide restrictions, meaning travelers are still facing the
same headaches at the airport with no real relief in
sight just yet. Now, starting this morning, the FAA is
cutting flights across the country by six percent, and those

(31:52):
reductions will keep climbing throughout the week, reaching eight percent.
On Thursday and ten percent by Friday morning. Now, the
FAA they began scaling back flights last Friday at forty
of the nation's busiest airports because of the ongoing shortage
with air traffic controllers.

Speaker 9 (32:08):
A Transportation Secretary Sean.

Speaker 8 (32:10):
Duffy says the FAA won't lift the order until safety
data shows that it's appropriate, but as that the.

Speaker 9 (32:16):
Skies remain safe to fly.

Speaker 8 (32:18):
He says that the cuts are about managing traffic, not
about grounding planes.

Speaker 9 (32:23):
Meanwhile, President Trump is.

Speaker 8 (32:25):
Weighing in on the air traffic controller shortage on social media.
He's blasting air traffic controllers who've called out sick, saying
he's not happy, and he is threatening to dock their pay.
He's also promised those who stayed on the job are great.
He's calling them great patriots and promising ten thousand dollars bonuses.

Speaker 9 (32:43):
Wants to shut down.

Speaker 8 (32:45):
D Critics are pointing out that these are the same
controllers who've been working day to day, showing up without
a paycheck, and the union says that they've been working
six days a week, ten hour shifts.

Speaker 9 (32:55):
We've been talking about this.

Speaker 8 (32:57):
They've been guiding planes across the country while string to
pay their own bills passengers, they are also filling the fallout.
This weekend alone, there were more than forty five hundred
cancelations eighteen thousand delays. Let's listen to some of the
frustration that the passengers are feeling.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
This thing is affecting, you know, citizens, and it probably
shouldn't be affected on everybody like this.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
That's what I have to do.

Speaker 25 (33:21):
I'm going to U haul and I'm going to drive
a truck frush country to get back to your talk
because I have to be back by two seconds.

Speaker 9 (33:27):
It's good, frustrating. Everybody should just get along. Let's figure
it out. These air traffic controllers, my safety is in
their hands.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
It's unbelievable on this embarrassing for our country. We've been
here since forty morning.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
But the thing is there's no flight to Syracuse, so
we're going to Raleigh, North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Then we're going to Buffalo. Then someone has to pick
us up. That's crazy Jesus man.

Speaker 5 (33:47):
Yeah, So like's that it right. It's definitely embarrassing for
this country.

Speaker 9 (33:51):
So a lot of different array of feelings there.

Speaker 8 (33:53):
People renting cars, driving U hauls, whatever they can get
because it's a shortage on rental cars if you can
get a U haul. Por are just doing whatever they
can to get to where they need to be.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, you know, all the situation made me shows me
is how much people don't understand the working class.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
You know, especially when it comes to the federal work.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
It's like sixty seven percent of this country lives paycheck
to paycheck, and you want these people to come to
work when they thinking about how they're gonna keep the
lights on. Literally, Like, do you know how many people
I know who have had to get other jobs temp services,
driving uber lift, taking out loans from the bank. Folks
really have no idea what the working class goes through.

Speaker 9 (34:28):
Exactly.

Speaker 8 (34:29):
And especially with President Trump getting on social media, come
on man telling yea, the workers they need to get
to work. You know, you have no idea what their
day to day looks like, child your you know, household bills,
whatever they need to do.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
So and that's the other.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Thing through The childcare piece is very important because some
of these people have had to take off of work
because they can't afford childcare at the moment because they're
not getting to paycheck. So they got to make sure
the kids get to school or stay home with the kids.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
It's all. It's nuts man.

Speaker 8 (34:55):
Yeah, absolutely, And today is Veterans Day, a time to
are men and women who serve our country. But this
year the celebration looks and feels very different. That's because
of the ongoing government shutdown. Hundreds of thousands of active
duty service members could miss their next paycheck. The administration
has found temporary fixes twice since October, but those funds

(35:18):
have now run out, leaving many military families uncertain about
how they'll cover their bills, their rent, their groceries this week.
So the shutdown has also forced the cancelation of parades, ceremonies,
and community events that usually honor veterans. Organizers say they
simply didn't have the access to military bases, restrooms, or
staffing to make those events happen. Also, if you're wondering

(35:41):
about what's open and what's closed today, most restaurants, grocery stores,
retail shops will stay open, but banks and post offices
are closed today since they fall under the Federal Reserve.
Online banking and ATM services will still work, their transactions
could take an extra day to process.

Speaker 9 (35:58):
Ups will run.

Speaker 8 (36:00):
Up, and delivery services of FedEx is also operating normally
and in New York, though the nation's largest federal uh,
the nation's largest Veterans Day parade is still happening, with
more than twenty thousand service members marching up Fifth Avenue
to mark the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
US military.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Listen man, salute to all the veterans. I love you.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
I say it all the time. I think it's disgusting
how America treats his veterans. Okay, if you have fought
for this country, you should get free housing, free health care,
and a stipend every month. Okay, America, why can't we
do the basics. I'm a simple man. Take care of
the people who take care of us. Veterans have taken
care of us. We need to take care of them.
How hard is it to take care of our veterans? Okay,
it shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
It shouldn't be that. It shouldn't be hard at all.
It is nothing worse to me.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
You want to get me, pull out a sign that
says I'm a veteran and I fought in the war.
I don't know how people can just walk by folks
like that and just drive by folks like that and
not give them whatever you got in they pocket. Man,
That's the least we can do, because our veterans get
treated like gobagees in this country.

Speaker 8 (36:59):
Absolutely shout out to my dad who is also a veteran. Yes, yeah,
all right, And many families, as we say on this
topic of the shutdown, many families are still waiting.

Speaker 9 (37:12):
On paychecks, but they're turning to new ways to make
ends meet.

Speaker 8 (37:16):
So by now Paid Later has exploded during the government shutdown.
Many people are calling it credit card two point zero.
So apps like Karna, after Play or firm they are
seeing a major surge as families use them not just
for extra but for essentials like groceries, gas, and even
utility bills. Now, with so many federal workers and families

(37:36):
still waiting on paychecks, these apps have become a lifeline
to get through another week.

Speaker 9 (37:41):
So instead of paying all at once, these apps let shopper.

Speaker 8 (37:44):
Split purchases into four smaller payments and spread it out
over a few weeks, usually with.

Speaker 9 (37:49):
No interest at first.

Speaker 8 (37:51):
Families stretched thin, it can feel like a lifeline, but
consumer experts they are warning that this easy money can
turn into a debt trap. The consumer financial Protection bureaus.
As late payments are rising fast and more Americans are
juggling multiple by now paid later plans at once. So
many of the households, though they are already filling the squeeze,

(38:13):
including those federal workers who've gone more than without a paycheck.
The financial experts say this is this is part of
a larger problem where Americans are borrowing for the future
to just survive. The present total household debt right now
is about eighteen point six trillion dollars. Four easy payments
might sound like a quick fix, but it could hit

(38:34):
harder once those bills come due.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
So, I mean, that's how it used to be back
in the day, especially in close knit communities, Like if
you had somebody in the hood who owned like a
little convenience store or something. Yeah, you know, everybody had
a little you know, shock they could go to and
have a line of credit and they they were paying
back when they when they got paid.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (38:53):
So that's what people are turning to now, and they're
just you know, it's it is a help. I think
people just need to get help where they can get
help from just for the essentials.

Speaker 9 (39:01):
It's not even for shopping anymore. It's for gas and.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Cocaine. All right, thank you said, she's talking about me
does on the weekends. All right, But I mean.

Speaker 9 (39:24):
I didn't hear you.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
I hear you. But back in the day in the hood,
there wasn't lining the credit for that too. What are
you talking about.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
It's a fact, if you like, if you knew, if
you knew the person and you knew the people. Yeah,
I give you, you know, and then you pay me
back when you get paid.

Speaker 9 (39:37):
I don't know nothing about that.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
I used to sell crash. We know, was a petty
drug dealers.

Speaker 9 (39:45):

last week?

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Guess right?

Speaker 7 (40:31):
Set it up for the rest of the season. It's
gonna be doing fire season.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
How do y'all approach doing a final season? How does
that even make y'all feel? Is it bittersweet? Like how
do you approach?

Speaker 27 (40:41):
I think you like you just said a bittersweet, But
you know, I think once we know it's the final season,
I think it makes us to go a little harder,
you know what I mean, like, make sure we make
this scenees a little bit more intense. I think the
writing room did the same thing. Is just making sure
that every episode had a bang factor to it. You know.
It's actives, you know, like we're gonna put our best
foot forward, and I think we did a great job
doing that.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
Is it always that feeling like the last show will
be so amazing, but like, yeah, we just can't end
it like that. We got to do another one or
another one? Is that is that ever feeling all You're like, Na,
this is the rap?

Speaker 26 (41:07):
Well, I think that Gary and I just wanted to
make sure that we gave Chicago Chicago's do. A big
thing was is that I didn't produce the first season,
just the second and the third season, And a big
thing for me was getting Chicago better, you know, a
little bit more realistic. Like even the Power Show is
kind of like New York adjacent, but we wanted to
be Chicago adjacent, but it's like it's a real place.

(41:29):
We wanted to show the diversity within the diversity. Like
I think it was kind of like like a globular
South side of Chicago, a globular West side, and I
just mean that there was no specificity or details, and
we do a lot more detail oriented stuff in the
third season, and I think that the city is really
going to bless this show for this final season.

Speaker 22 (41:49):
What did you do to do, Like what was your
research like leaving this well.

Speaker 26 (41:52):
Yeah, you know, I mean I moved I moved to
New York twenty six years ago, so it's like, you know,
I went back early and I met with cops and
robbers and asked a learned more about the city because
when I was there, there was really it was really
a city.

Speaker 7 (42:04):
Of gang nations. You know, there was folks and.

Speaker 26 (42:06):
People and and and a lot of things that were
the rules that were street rules that were uh followed.
And now with the emergence of kind of like all
of these renegade gangs and gangs within that used to
be nations that kind of went against each other. Where
would the pipeline be coming from? How would Tommy Egan
survive in this? Who would want to just make the

(42:26):
money and who would just want to see him dead?
And I think that we do a lot of responsible
storytelling in like there's a million people going at each
other in on the South Side and on the West side,
and where.

Speaker 7 (42:37):
The distribution comes from, and some of.

Speaker 26 (42:39):
The cartels that would really truly exist that mimic the
cartels in real life.

Speaker 7 (42:43):
That's what we did.

Speaker 22 (42:43):
Were there any things in your research trying to get
it so real where you were like, Nah, we don't
want to touch this just because of what may actively
be happening, or just because his history wise, you just
don't want to.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
You don't want to.

Speaker 26 (42:55):
Yeah, well, you know, yeah, I mean, Chris and I
are both from Chicago, and there's definitely you know what
I mean. It's not that I'm this age, this old.
It's like in my thirties and forties, even going back.
I mean I remember it'd be like, you know, you
don't want people from the past popping up and being
like yo, man, so how you why'd you put it
like that?

Speaker 7 (43:12):
Or why did you do this like this?

Speaker 2 (43:13):
And so you do.

Speaker 26 (43:14):
There is kind of you know, it's it's adjacent, but
it but it mimics the real life. It's like people
if you know, you know style and I think there's
a lot of wink wik non nods to to real
life stuff going in there.

Speaker 7 (43:25):
But yeah, I mean you want to be careful, you know.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Tommy says an interesting caagter Joseph, like, you know, he's
always either chasing.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Control or power or loyalty or revenge. Like what's driving
him this season?

Speaker 7 (43:36):
Man, that's a great question. A lot I think a
lot of it is revenge and.

Speaker 26 (43:39):
Kind of this this uh, this hunger for power and
how that that the power? You know they say power
corrupts of complete, power corrupts completely.

Speaker 7 (43:49):
Yeah, absolutely, absolute power collapse. Absolutely. I know is always
just a little smarter than me.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
It's just.

Speaker 26 (43:59):
But that that's what it is. And I think that again,
it's it's like, can you have it all? And that's
that's the question, because tom he's going for it all
this time, and is he going to sacrifice loyalty with Diamond?
Is he gonna is he gonna do backhanded deals with
Jennard who is a backhanded deal master.

Speaker 7 (44:15):
But yeah, so it's a really exciting season.

Speaker 26 (44:17):
Gary Lennon again, our show runner in the whole writing
room did a fantastic job. I'm so proud of them,
and I think the fans are gonna be really happy.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
For sure. I always feel like Diamond's trying to move
righteous in a dirty world.

Speaker 27 (44:27):
I agree, I'm doing a great job then, Jo, but's right,
I think you know it is like you just said,
like you can't it's not moral value is too much
in the street. Now there's the street codes. You try
to go buy those things, but those more than values
to get you killed. And he was trying to play
both sides for so long. And the thing now is
you start to see he's starting to like he's choosing

(44:48):
the side he's both feed in.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
You know.

Speaker 27 (44:49):
Now he's actually kind of looking at at Tommy like
why you while you're in love, you know, looking at
his brother Jennar because he wants that brother relationship, I believe,
but at the same time that's gonna it could be
his downfall. I mean, so about relationships and alliances right
now and how you choose and what side you're gonna
choose to go on. And I think Domona's in the
call of the Little quandry right now.

Speaker 22 (45:07):
You guys relationship, I was just gonna say, Diamond and Tommy,
Joseph Isaac, you guys relationship in the new season kind
of mimics what the relationship was with Ghosts and Tommy.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
A bit in the reverse. Yeah.

Speaker 22 (45:19):
Yeah, And it's weird because it's like, now you're in
that power seat, no pun intendent, but now you're in
a driver's seat, right and you're able to like choose
what you say what you don't say, and you're kind
of like controlling him. Was that purposely done for the
fans who've been following all the shows to kind of
put that together?

Speaker 7 (45:34):
Yes, yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
But I also love.

Speaker 26 (45:36):
How it mimics just like that hurt people, hurt people,
and if you know, you kind of follow the faults
of your father or.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
Whatever that expression.

Speaker 26 (45:45):
Charlemagne will correct me, but there you know the sins
of the Father. It's like there's there is there is
this kind of reverseness that's happening too, and we'll see
what happens to Tommy, because ultimately what happened to ghosts,
so you know, we gotta see what happened.

Speaker 12 (45:59):
Definitely, there was a woman in the first episode where
there was that when you came to talk to him
in the warehouse. I felt like you turned into ghosts
in that moment.

Speaker 7 (46:07):
And but Tommy checked himself too.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Yeah, but I felt like Ghos would have did that
to you.

Speaker 12 (46:11):
It was almost like reverse psychology, like you were just
telling them what you know he needed.

Speaker 22 (46:15):
Hard I felt like I didn't even know you thought
that you were checking yourself in that moment.

Speaker 14 (46:19):
And it's hard to talk about, but it was real.

Speaker 26 (46:21):
I mean, I think Tommy is an honest character in
the way when he's like, yo, man, I should have
told you everything. I should have done that, but it's
timmey gonna do it again, That's the that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yes, It's like it was smart.

Speaker 27 (46:30):
It's like you knew how to he needed, knew how
to dob like minimize the situation at the time, because
that felt Diamonds coming high, and I think that was
a different level of seeing Tommy, you know, and Joseph
play that. So you know, yeah, I thought it was.
It's a great saying because it was even hard for
me as a character, like they like, no bring it.
I'm like, y'all want me to bring it, you know,
saying like that, no bringing it, And it's starting to
it starts to build with the character.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Chris, how do you see your know it? And I
see people call him the smart villains of people call
him a monsters. He just a man trying to out
hustle a system that's against stacked against him.

Speaker 12 (47:00):
I think Jannard is misunderstood because honestly, Isaac hate when
I go off into this tangent, but I honestly feel
like nobody's looking at it the right way. I feel like,
because I'm actually from Chicago, I try to implement a
lot of what I know the people are gonna be
watching this saying like, nah, that ain't that ain't how
we were doing in Chicago. Y'all really gonna let this
white boy come up in here and do that. So
to me, I feel like I'm the voice of the fans,

(47:22):
so to me. I look at Gerard as to me,
the only one that got some sense for real, Because
why I'm supposed to not know anything about what Tommy
was doing those six years on power, I'm supposed to
not know that. To me, this is just a white
man in Chicago who may or may not be the police.
Nobody knows, Like why are we all so trusting in him?

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Like nobody?

Speaker 12 (47:41):
And then with my brother, I'm like, Okay, you were
in prison. I heard you like to cut hair in jail.
That's what you was in there doing, right, bought you
a barbershop, Put you up. You're comfortable, you got something
to do. Stay out the way. You're on parole. You hot,
You're not supposed to be touching the streets. You're gonna
mess up the whole organization. If you get caught, you're
gonna blow it all up. So I'll handle it, talk
to you, will deliberate, will be partners brothers.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
You know that was my goal. My dream didn't work
out like that.

Speaker 6 (48:07):
Is that difficult to make it make sense? Because what
you just said is I have to make it mean.
I had to make it make sense because you know,
we look at him from we understand it but this
is a new series.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Yes, yeah, to me trying to make it make sense.

Speaker 12 (48:18):
I did create that backstory, I said with I remember
I told Joseph Isaac and with Gary Lennon, our showrunner.
I created a whole backstory in my head to make
some of this makes sense. Because obviously I will never
go against my brother trying to kill my brother. That's crazy.
But I tried to make it make sense. To Ginnard,
it's like, Okay, we talking about millions of dollars. This
organization CBR is supposed to be worth millions of dollars,

(48:39):
and if he's been in prison for fifteen years, that
means I kind of know more life without him than
with him. And now if we add millions of dollars
into the mix and some new person that nobody knows
who's white, about kill both of you?

Speaker 4 (48:52):
Right?

Speaker 12 (48:52):
How about I just killed both of you. You ain't
even been here for fifteen years. Anyway, I could do
without you, you know. So it's like I don't understand. Like,
so that's how I had to convince myself. And sometimes
I get too invested in it, and I'm like, yeah,
you know what, I get to invest in sometimes and
I'll be like, no, this is wrong.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Nobody gets.

Speaker 22 (49:13):
Across on screen, though. I feel like on screen you're
like the little brother that's like, no, I can do this.
Listen to me, Listen.

Speaker 5 (49:18):
To me, but then you be messing up, and then
you gotta call it done.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Thank you got to mess up.

Speaker 14 (49:22):
It's a little brother.

Speaker 7 (49:23):
Thing, though what it's party people.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
In New York.

Speaker 22 (49:30):
I'm told him that, speaking of the brother dynamic, you
guys dynamic is kind of like the same but a
bit different in this new season because you're kind of
making your own moves and you got your girl and
she's you know, helping you a bit more. You trusting
them a little bit more, but you're not at the
same time, what do you guys want your relationship to
say to people in a regular world about brother relationships

(49:51):
big brother little brother relationships, people that don't sell drugs.

Speaker 7 (49:54):
Or they do right.

Speaker 12 (49:54):
I would personally, I would probably say, like forgiveness could
probably be a thing, and love trump's all and blood
is definitely thinking the water. I think I would want
people to like take that from it, like blood is
truly thinking the water. And your family, I feel like
the only people closest to you can hurt you, because
if you don't care about somebody, they can't hurt your feelings.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
They can't they.

Speaker 12 (50:13):
Can't betray you. You know, it has to come from
somebody you love. So I feel like learning to forgive
and learning that family Trump's all is something that I
would want people to know.

Speaker 7 (50:22):
But blood is finite, Water is infinite, you know, there's.

Speaker 26 (50:30):
Yeah, I think water is going to make you survive
longer than blood.

Speaker 7 (50:35):
You drink that a little bit, you know what I mean.
The French soldiers with the Russian horses, but the water
that's life giving the war.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Take it to war. I think, you know, it's real life.

Speaker 27 (50:46):
Like you know, we all have family members that we
necessarily don't get along, but we still kind of love them,
but we may have to keep it from the farm,
but well, trying to figure them out.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
I think it's really deep about the relationships.

Speaker 27 (50:54):
I think the whole show really dives into how the
relationship and the toxicity of it, you know, like you know,
like you know, really all just communicate, if you just
communicate for the person and his brother, if Diamonds would
have gave Yournard a hug, you know, another hug, and
sometimes he might have even made him feel a little
better or just talked about it, like how are you
gonna kill your brother? Like it's the deepness and the
deafiness of what you're willing to lose and sacrifice for

(51:15):
what you want to kind of mold you want and
then how does that align in your life? Like to
him killing his brother, that wasn't enoughing for him some
people that's something hard to do. We still get on
the streets all the time like why why you don't
kill you? Why you don't kill your brother? Why you
don't you know, unlive your brother? And it's like can
you do that? Would you be able to do in
the world? So that tussle, I think is just amazing
to bus the show, the relationship to it.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
But you sound like them saying this, man.

Speaker 8 (51:39):
I.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Just feel motivational for some reason. Sometimes what does redemption
look like for Diamond? Like now that the streets, you know,
keep pulling the back.

Speaker 27 (51:53):
I think ultimately what Diamond wants he wants that be
able to make this money have power, but he doesn't
want all the violence the stuff to go along with it.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
At some point, like.

Speaker 27 (52:01):
If it was the best world, the coalition, everybody working together,
you know, everybody making money, Let's just do that and
be cool, you know, And I think that, yeah, and
I think but it's like, you know, when you see
the character of the timed character coming with Joseph play
so well, it's like, nah, we want more than that,
we want more of that. So he's still got to
make his moves and make his moves you know, in
align know how he wants to move, so that somehow

(52:22):
kind of creates that friction between everyone in a sense
because there's so many players in this. You know, we
still have the Laddin to the cartel side and how
the control that they have. So now we're just trying
to you know, I think Diamonds redemptious. He really just
wanted to He wants to be there, but but you know,
it ain't gonna work the way he wants it to work,
and that's how it works.

Speaker 22 (52:39):
You do you think the world will ever look at
the game organization as like anything for anything righteous they've
ever done. I know with BMN fifty also try to
talk about the family unit and stuff like that, and
it's very prevalent that you're that character in this show.

Speaker 14 (52:52):
But people don't see that.

Speaker 22 (52:54):
They only say why would you guys be in a
show that showcases all these things. I'm sure you get
that question on the time. Do you think the world
will ever say? But wait, there was a righteous component
to this. There was a family aspect.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Uh yes.

Speaker 27 (53:04):
And I think even outside the show, we make sure
we do a lot of stuff in the community. I
make sure we talk, we have speaking engagements and talking
to make sure we know this is entertainment. It's telling
the story, you know, a story of some made up characters,
of some made up characters that you know how they
how they move in the streets, and how their life
and how they find the family dynamics happen. And I
think that also by showing that in Chicago, with all
the things that's going on with the city of Chicago,

(53:25):
we're able to show the entertainment part of it, but
we're also able to touch on some of the things
of the diversity of the city and how the city
is made up in the history and the architecture, and
and just kind of giving some more light on the
city in that way as well too. But I think
it's very important for people to know even as we talk,
is to make sure that we know that this is
a story. It's it's it's a TV series. Plancaracter's not
real life. It's the power universe. We know that's not

(53:46):
ye you know in real life. It's so many things
that happened that must think pulls up anywhere, no parking tickets.

Speaker 6 (53:50):
I will say that that these stories are might not
be based on somebody's real life, but they are lives
that's happening out there, Tommy and every time, me and
my brother, Man, that's how it was, you mean, And
that's why I can do.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Stories mean so much, you know. And a lot of times,
like she.

Speaker 6 (54:09):
Said, a lot of people feel like, oh, well, they're
idolizing or they're making it seem like this. But for
a lot of times, that's what we grew up seeing, right,
We grew up seeing the local drug dealers, and you
always wanted to know what I always wanted to know.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Like how did they do their business? How did it work?

Speaker 6 (54:22):
So I think this kind of gives you an inside
false or not false, but primarily true of how would
work and how it got down.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
So when you tape so things, so Tommy would have
been in jail a long time ago. Man, he drives
the same getaway car all right.

Speaker 26 (54:40):
Hard to drive too pretty, it'd be pretty easy to
peg Tommy. He's not switching up rides all that much,
although in the original Power Show they did, you know,
some of that, some of that.

Speaker 12 (54:49):
I think that when you made that drive of Chicago,
you switched cars in the original right.

Speaker 26 (54:53):
No, it was like they fucked me out of the character.
Let's not talk about season one.

Speaker 6 (54:59):
I was gonna ask, you know, when you talk about
street credit and talking about what's real, how how important
is street code when you're doing these shows.

Speaker 12 (55:06):
M I honestly do think it's important. Honestly, we got
to keep it true to what it is. But also
there are some things that we don't want to touch
on because it's too real.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Like that's why they don't mention like real gangs. We
make up gang names.

Speaker 12 (55:19):
Because we don't want to seem like we're promoting actual
gang violence in the city or making other gangs. Because
our dms are crazy. I can't speak for everybody, but
mine is insane. Like my dms get crazy when the
show on the death threats and a lot of people,
oh dog, I get crazy DM. So it's like we
try to be careful with that.

Speaker 26 (55:40):
I think you're slipping little vernacular improves that every now
and again when I see in the cut, I'm.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Really from Chicago, so I'll try to slip in phone.

Speaker 7 (55:50):
Again.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
I'll try to slip it in and there.

Speaker 12 (55:52):
Because I know the city is going to be like bro,
I know, I know like that the city of Chicago
is behind it. I feel like New York and Chicago
are two cities that they don't. We don't really particularly
like when actors portray being from there if they're not
really from there, Like, we don't want you to come
from LA and try to be on the New York
TV show saying you a hood dude from New York man.

Speaker 26 (56:13):
London Brown crushes it as I'm gomar, what an exceptional case.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
London Brown shout out to London. That's my dog. But like,
I don't feel like New York and Chicago likes that
that much. L they don't like it at all. L
A is another one, Yeah, and they don't like it
at all.

Speaker 6 (56:27):
I always also wanted to know, when y'all shoot so
many different films, how do y'all stay in character?

Speaker 2 (56:32):
TV shows, TV shows?

Speaker 6 (56:33):
Yeah, how do y'all stay in character in all the shows?
Because y'a have different characters in different shows.

Speaker 12 (56:37):
I mean, for me is the simple version for me
is action and cut like I'm not you. Yeah, I've
never been that guy for real that really like takes
it home with me.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
I just me neither. Yeah, I just know how to disassociated.

Speaker 26 (56:49):
A lot more from I just find that there's a
lot more fun when you get to it is. But
also it's like coming you know, coming from the theater jobling.
You know, it's like if you're not going to bring
that character home, you're in the guy for six months,
you know what I mean, You're just you just bring
it to the theater.

Speaker 7 (57:04):
That's why you war them up. That's why you get,
you know, the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
You imagine that Joe was pulled up to pick up
his kid from school. He pulled up in the car.

Speaker 22 (57:13):
It's so hard to not see Tommy, all of you guys.
It's hard to not envision y'all in the show. I'm like, Dan,
I was just watching you last night.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Like me, I think Jill does a fantastic job acting
because he's nothing like Tommy in.

Speaker 14 (57:23):
Real life, but the voice is there.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
He's selling copious amounts of drugs, but.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Isaac and christ In regard to dealing with fifty, what
did y'all learn from Little Meat.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
I've never want to be on fifties bad side, that's all.
I've just learned that.

Speaker 12 (57:42):
And I never I never want to owe fifty money
ever in life, not from Little Meets, but just in general,
just from knowing money. I know he wants it by Monday,
and uh and I just you know, and I just
want to stay on this good side.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
That's it.

Speaker 12 (57:54):
I don't know, you know, with him and little whole
Little Meats thing, I have no clue. I'm not privy
to truly what's going on there. I just know my
loyalty runs deep. I know to day I booked this role.
One of the first things I did. You would appreciate it,
Charloae Mae, because you know you you're a little messy.
The first thing I did was I went straight to
John Rule's Instagram and pressed unfollowed, followed back right now.

(58:17):
This is followed back because I'd already met y'all. I've
already met him, and long before I got up, I
met him, and he followed me his manager and everything.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
And I said, the one thing that will not happen.
Curtis Jackson will not.

Speaker 12 (58:29):
Just be sitting down one day and go on John
Rule's page and see followed by Christy Lofton.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
You will not. And I just unfollowed.

Speaker 12 (58:37):
And I don't know, God heavens know.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Anybody. If you've got problem, you won't follow follow Rick Ross, everybody.

Speaker 12 (58:46):
I don't follow any of them. I swear when we
get off, I'm gonna show yourself follow here's the viral movement.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Back.

Speaker 27 (58:58):
I can answer what man, I've learned as you talked
about football, and that is walking my life man like.
I don't get involved in the mist I don't get
involved anything, especially I got too many other problems my
own to be worried about something else and what's going
on over there, because you never know all the complete details.
You never know, So why passed judge knowing they try to,
you know, do whatever. I just mind my business man.

Speaker 5 (59:18):
Simpler, Joseph.

Speaker 22 (59:21):
I want to say, I saw TMZ ran into you
and they asked you about the meat situation fifty posted
and it said you was too smart.

Speaker 14 (59:26):
You got about it very easy.

Speaker 7 (59:28):
I don't know if I got out of there easy.
Shows my words pretty carefully.

Speaker 26 (59:32):
But it's because I think Meets is a nice young man,
and I think that what people forget is that Fifth
paid for his acting classes. I mean, he invested into
MEAs so there's there's a certain amount there that's that's
you know, there there was love, and I basically when
I said to Teams, if there was love, there can
be love again. You know there there's a certain amount
of redemption or forgiveness within there. So it's also just

(59:54):
like I try.

Speaker 7 (59:55):
To stay in my lane as well.

Speaker 26 (59:57):
You know, it's not again, like Isaac said, it's not
really my businesiness. But I want everybody to get along.
But if you can't, man, I'm gonna keep it moving exactly.

Speaker 22 (01:00:05):
You really think though, that there could be love again.
It seems like fifties kind of like done with that situation.

Speaker 26 (01:00:10):
I mean he's probably then, he's probably done, you know,
but I always there's always hope.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
It's interesting with power too, because power is built on
loyalty is built on betrayal and ambition. I don't want
to ask you in real life, what's more dangerous ambition
with no loyalty or loyalty with no ambition.

Speaker 7 (01:00:29):
Wow, I go ambition with no loyalty, y same, that's
what I would go.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
That's dangerous. I'm still processing. That's deep.

Speaker 27 (01:00:38):
Look, I'll be overthinking something with no loyal to lord.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
I probably to concur like ambition.

Speaker 27 (01:00:47):
I think ambition could be because some to us, ambition
can always go in a relationship because therefore, now you
just going for what you want, you can becomes you
can become very selfish in aspect. When you become selfish,
you end up hurting a lot of people around, especially
when they try to be loyal to you, you know,
and then you ambition that you moving different as you say,
we're moving weird, you know, you know, so trying to
figure that out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
I think that's that's a good question.

Speaker 26 (01:01:08):
But I like when the power showing all of its
incurrent nations shows that that that without loyalty, without this,
with just blind the ambition, things fall apart.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
You know.

Speaker 26 (01:01:19):
This kind of lifestyle is people you can't be happy
in a lot of ways. Always say Tim, it's like
a vampire somebody she keeps living but like he's living alone.

Speaker 7 (01:01:26):
And it could be a lonely life. It's like it's
not winning.

Speaker 27 (01:01:30):
Yeah, every day is like you're looking over your shoulder,
You're trying to figure it out. There was some scenes
I always looking always amarred. You know, I told you Douse,
you talked about how can you walk away from it?
But there's scenes where you know, I'm just only my
first season of doing it, and I'm like, but you
feel all the treachery behind you. People are trying to
do all these things, like feeling like Geno are trying
to kill Diamond. I personalize that a little bit, like

(01:01:51):
so even on the set, like I couldn't talk to
him for a little while after that, like knowing how
to know, just knowing how you move. He's sitting around
the corner, over the corner, smoking the square, laughing, being
Chris as big. I'm been in a barbershop looking like this.
Like I still wasn't over with it for a time
because and I was admired about to you know, the
character Tommy's because he dealt with that for so many
seasons on Power over and over again, and then it

(01:02:11):
comes to this. I'm like, it takes some therapy. It
takes some you know, some some aspect later on to
be like okay, let me let that go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
It takes practice because it is deep.

Speaker 26 (01:02:19):
I feel I'm still in therapy and you're talking to
the right guys here or advocates for it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
It's a cane and able dynamic to y'all relations It
definitely is, I think so.

Speaker 12 (01:02:29):
I definitely think it's that that's a good analogy, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
If is there an end to the Power Universe? Like,
have there been talks like to the maybe to the
end of Tommy's character.

Speaker 26 (01:02:40):
There's been talks, But I feel like in terms of
the end of the Power Universe, I think that most
talks are about expansion.

Speaker 7 (01:02:48):
All right, where can we go next?

Speaker 26 (01:02:51):
You know, we're the only Power show that takes place
outside of New York, so that was kind of a
big thing for them at this point too.

Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
But then with you know, with fifties other shows.

Speaker 26 (01:02:59):
With Fighting coming out and in England, I feel like
they're going to probably be thinking about a little bit
of international expansion in some capacity through the Power Universe.
And then I'm sure that they'll they'll expand on stories
in New York like they are doing already in the
Origin story, but I bet there will be more spin
offs that take place around uh N y C.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Do you have an idea of what what you would
want the ending with tom.

Speaker 7 (01:03:22):
I know exactly what I would want the ending for Tommy.

Speaker 26 (01:03:25):
In fact, me and Gary Lennon are already h starting
to make an outline for a for a movie, for
a feature that would.

Speaker 7 (01:03:32):
Be kind of the possibly the final final chapter.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Hard. No, he can't tell us. You know about this.
I don't want to be fifty.

Speaker 26 (01:03:48):
Every move I make that has anything to do with power,
and almost any move I make anything he wants to know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
He could know. But any move I make, I.

Speaker 26 (01:03:53):
Fifth is all I always have because it's it's responsible.
He he's he's owed it because yeah, because I'm a
loyal you know, friend or colleague or whatever. But he's
also older because he's old it because he's an executive
producer and the creator, so he's old it twice.

Speaker 7 (01:04:08):
But I also I always give the respect to Fifth
because there's a good guy. Like he's been a good
person of me, a great person of me.

Speaker 26 (01:04:15):
He's taught me a lot, he sat down with me,
he's been accessible, Like I realized how much I owe fifty,
and I'm grateful.

Speaker 6 (01:04:22):
Well, definitely check out the final season of Force. Make
sure you check it out. The first episode was last Friday,
and we appreciate you brothers for joining us.

Good morning everybody. We are to Breakfast Club on this Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
Let's get to the latest. Lawn you coming straight fast.
She gets them somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 14 (01:04:45):
I'm a home groand that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 27 (01:04:48):
She'd be having the latest on you, the Breges, the
Latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything on.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 22 (01:05:00):
Me so deb Antony, who is the former manager and
business partner of Gucci min and also Nicki Minaj, also
Waka Flaka's mom.

Speaker 19 (01:05:08):
Uh.

Speaker 22 (01:05:09):
She heard our Breakfast Club interview up here and she
she's responding to it. She did an interview with a
hip hop inchoir and take a listen to what when
we sat down with Gucci Minikisha Kor. I'm sorry, when
we sat down with Gucci Minikisha ki Or, And specifically
she's responding to the part of the conversation where we
talked about artists giving Gucci his flowers and or not

(01:05:30):
giving Gucci his flowers. So let's take a listen to
deb on Kisha ki.

Speaker 10 (01:05:34):
Or So, did you see the breakfast Club interview with
like Gucci and Keisha God.

Speaker 13 (01:05:42):
Unfortunately, yes, I can't begin to tell you how many
people sent me that Breakfast Club, but I've had that
sent to be by several people.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
I do. It just did not seem like him in
a million years.

Speaker 13 (01:05:59):
You wouldn't get to make me believe that either he
wasn't drugged up or something wasn't going on with him there.

Speaker 4 (01:06:06):
I don't feel like she should have came out.

Speaker 13 (01:06:09):
Natively saying the stuff that she said about her husband.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
I don't think that that's for the world.

Speaker 13 (01:06:15):
That right, sounds like somebody that wants attention and that
threw her husband out on the chapping block. I don't
care what anybody say. Just ain't about them worrying about
no damn mental health. This is worrying about people trying
to be on top.

Speaker 22 (01:06:29):
Yeah, I'm sorry. And she also speaks spoke about the
mental health. Has you guys just heard now another part
of this interview, she talks about the.

Speaker 28 (01:06:36):
Fact that can comment on that real quick, please go ahead,
evolve so hard that people have to get to know
you all over again, evolve so much that people don't
even recognize you anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
That is exactly what life is actually about.

Speaker 6 (01:06:49):
Well, you know, you know it's funny you said that.
I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking that
when you show that change, people won't believe it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
People will criticize you. They will issue on your change.

Speaker 6 (01:06:59):
Because after that interview, right everybody would say he was
drugged up.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
He was this, he was that, he was next to
his wife.

Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
I seen him a couple of days later in Hampton,
Virginia where he performed, and Gucci was the same, calm, cool,
collective Gucci. He didn't have his wife around. He was
with his cruel, his security. It was the same, But
he was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
A change in.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
All I see is a healed human that's still on
the journey of healing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Like that's all I see.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
And they's up here talking about his drug addiction back then,
and she said he was drugged up during the interview.

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
But when I see him in Virginia and Hampton, he
came up to me. He said, I just want to
say thank y'all. And I said, why was up? He said,
because I shared my story And he said I know
some people were joking.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Some people won't, he said, but people.

Speaker 6 (01:07:46):
Are actually reading the book, and so many people are
hitting me saying, hey, you're helping to change my life.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
I want to change my life for the better.

Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
I'm getting into therapy, I'm getting help, and he said
that was the main focus.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
So the path of personal growth and development brings huge
changes in your life.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
And yes, they go from the inside out. Yes, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
You should not recognize me. That's how you should have
ball kid drop a bomb for Gucci.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
Well, imagine after doing all that work, right, you being
told that you drugged up?

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Right for doing Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Doing the work like I'm I'm I'm the best I've
ever been on my best self. I'm telling you all
my story and this is drugged up.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
That's crazy.

Speaker 19 (01:08:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:08:29):
And Kisha k Or has been I mean, you guys
have seen it.

Speaker 22 (01:08:31):
She's been getting a lot of things thro her way
just because she's supporting and helping her husbanding his wife.

Speaker 14 (01:08:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:08:38):
And deb Any also talked about what she went through
with Gucci herself.

Speaker 5 (01:08:43):
Let's take a listen to that.

Speaker 13 (01:08:44):
I went through tons of stuff with him, and I'm
not gonna go through all of that now just because
I don't deal with him.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
I've never advertised anything.

Speaker 13 (01:08:52):
People never knew about none of that stuff, and I
placed them in hospitals. I've done various things and nobody
ever knew nothing about it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
And when she sat there and said, oh, she wished
that people.

Speaker 13 (01:09:05):
Would bring him up or talk about me, because you
wouldn't have him if it wasn't for me.

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
And that pissed me off.

Speaker 13 (01:09:12):
When I seen that, my son always talk about Gucci
and Waker didn't come out with Guccu's.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
On the stage.

Speaker 13 (01:09:18):
Waker was Gucci's hitter. It wasn't about him doing music
with Gucci. That didn't happen. He didn't put Princh out,
He didn't put Nikki out. I put Nikki on that stage.
He never wanted her on the stage. Can't you nothing
with French? He robbed Frinch. I'm tired of them taking away.

Speaker 4 (01:09:38):
What I did. I got boxes and boxes of paperwork.
Anytime they want to try me.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
You know, he was up here promoting the book, right,
That's why he wrote a book.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
That's why.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure. If somebody like asks him,
I guess, you know, like what what?

Speaker 8 (01:09:55):
What is?

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
What was going on?

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
With you. You know I was Dad. I mean, I
do know. Deb had a huge hand over.

Speaker 6 (01:10:04):
A lot of the artists. Put a lot of Dad
put in a lot of words. Deb had helped Gucci
in his label and a lot of stuff. But we
didn't ask about that, but that definitely did put in
a lot of work.

Speaker 22 (01:10:13):
The question that you specifically asked and we have it,
We can play it if we want to. You asked
about uh. You mentioned the different time that he had
artists and if things would have been better if Kisha
Kra was with him.

Speaker 5 (01:10:26):
Let's take a listen to what was actually asked.

Speaker 6 (01:10:28):
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 we
had Walker. Do you think if I was there I
could have helped him build that impact.

Speaker 5 (01:10:44):
One thousand person. We had this conversation many years ago.

Speaker 29 (01:10:48):
I said, Gucci, you just have to accept that you
are not well and fix it. He had so many
artists from back in the day and because of this
they re signed with other people or whatever the situation is,
and it pisses me off because none of them respects
him or give him the credit like Gucci signed me.
Gucci's the one that got me out the slum. Gucci's
the one that changed my life. None of them talks
about that. They don't acknowledge him, But would you like to?

Speaker 5 (01:11:11):
I would like them.

Speaker 29 (01:11:12):
To acknowledge him, even if they win an award. Acknowledge
him because he gave you the stomping ground.

Speaker 22 (01:11:20):
Yeah and not so she was responding to deb Antone
was I think and all of this what it is
is that people feel like, you know, they they want
their credit. Kish Kor wants it for Gucci and deb
Antie wants it for herself because everybody's put in work.

Speaker 14 (01:11:31):
I understand both sides, but I know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
But when you say, like when you know, she said
something about like I did a lot of things, but
I didn't say and talk about it. I didn't, you know, Yeah,
this is he wrote a book, like this is his book.

Speaker 5 (01:11:45):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
That's why it's being talked about and sit light on
his stories to bring awareness for other men that's going
through the same thing.

Speaker 22 (01:11:52):
That's been the craziest part for me is people turning
this into everything, but him helping people through sharing what
he's going through.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
I'm if y'alloul have seen Gucci years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:12:02):
This is a total I remember the video with the
he is a different human being. So seeing him here
and then seeing him in the streets, he's a different Gucci,
and I'm proud of it, and I love to see
the evolution.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
And all I know is if you see a person
on a healing journey and you don't believe that they're
actually on a healing journey, it just lets me know
that maybe you might need some healing too, because healed
people see different.

Speaker 16 (01:12:26):
I agree.

Speaker 22 (01:12:27):
I don't know if I'm healed enough to see the
difference yet, but I think that that's probably true.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
All right, Well, that showed been wanting to tell you
that the one that's out because he always hate and
shout out to Javon jamesus his birthday to day too.

Speaker 5 (01:12:40):
This is he designed this out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
What about shout.

Speaker 5 (01:12:45):
Shout out to a veno?

Speaker 14 (01:12:47):
Shout out too?

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):

Speaker 14 (01:12:49):
Give me some goin and have you worked there?

Speaker 22 (01:12:57):

Speaker 6 (01:13:02):
You give a little more, you don't get right. Well,
thank you for the latest with Lauren. Now, welcome Donkey today.
We're giving that donkey for after the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
I'm a bunct y you are, yes, Donkey today for Tuesday,
November eleventh, going to a forty two year old woman
named Tiffany Rose Williams.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
Tiffany is from the Michigan area, I.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Believe, and she was arrested for stabbing a nineteen year
old in them all.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Now, I'm gonna tell you right now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
I saw this story and I said immediately I have
to hear both sides.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
Okay, forty two years old stabbing a nineteen year old
in the mall. Hey, these yns be tripping sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
All right, you go to the mall real quick, just
want to run up and so for to get something
that makes you smell good. I'll go to the foot
locker to grab you some fresh dad suit shoes aka
all white Air Force ones. If you want some new
TEMs for the fall winter. You're just trying to be
in and out real quick, and sometimes you run in
the one and these YenS and you just got to
let them know. Ay man, I'm just trying to unk,
trying to make it. I'm just a unk trying to
make it home. Okay, most of the time they respect that,

(01:14:29):
but every now and then one might try you. All right,
So when I saw the age difference, that's the first
thing I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
But I was wrong. Let's go to Fox Detroit for
the revot please.

Speaker 25 (01:14:38):
Your store turned crime scene between the Nikes and New Balance.
A teen is stabbed by a very angry woman in
line whose card was declined. She's talking with Fox two
from her hospital bed.

Speaker 10 (01:14:49):
I did get stabbed four times.

Speaker 9 (01:14:53):
I have a punk tu plung right now.

Speaker 25 (01:14:56):
In the hospital for who knows how long, and all
for what A jenkin stabbed a kid's foot locker. Sanaia
tells us she was walking by the sneaker store at
Southlandmull and Taylor Wednesday, and her yelling at the register
inside a forty year old woman's credit card was declined.
Sanaia says she looked in then the woman snapped at her.

Speaker 22 (01:15:15):
As the argument verbal, she put her hand in her
purse and proceeded to tell me she was gonna shoop.

Speaker 25 (01:15:21):
Me, instead pulling out a kitchen knife and stabbing Snaya
twice in the neck, once in the stomach and thigh.
Bal At sources see a comment about the suspect being
broke spurred the whole thing, but Sanaia says it wasn't her.

Speaker 22 (01:15:35):
I am going to press charges, but it also satens
me in a way because I.

Speaker 25 (01:15:39):
Don't want her to be taken away.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
From her kids. Dang hey, that's crazy. Why the news
reported said between the Nikes and New Balance? What the
hell did y'all hear?

Speaker 27 (01:15:51):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Planet? Planet Home?

Speaker 7 (01:15:52):
What time right?

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
What the hell do?

Speaker 25 (01:15:53):
What do you think her store turned crime scene? Between
the Nikes and New Balance? A teen stabber?

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
What did that happen? I don't think I would be
to mention with anything.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
I'm gonna tell you right now, though, y'all better leave
people to hell alone when they having financial issues. Okay,
let me tell you something, man, I know y'all might
look at the Dame Dash interview, and you know see
me clowning him.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Calling them broke.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
But I promise you that was a special circumstance because
of who he is and how he acts.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
Plus according to him, he's not broke.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
But one thing I don't do is shamed nobody for
being broke, especially when they are. That is a recipe
for disaster. Not to mention, I know what it feels
like to be broke. Okay, there's nothing funny about not
being able to pay your rent.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
All right. I was broke way longer than I've ever
had some coins.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Okay, I don't remember what time it was after I
got fired, but one time after I got fired from radio,
my wife was paying all the bills and we couldn't
afford to pay everything without me having a check coming in.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
So we was getting evicted.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
And my wife had to go down to the courthouse
and explain the situation to them. Okay, there's nothing worse
than not being able to pay your bills, and you
are grown human with kids.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
That's why I don't even understand how people aren't truly
grasped the plight of the federal workers in our country,
right now, missing a paycheck could literally have you homeless. Okay,
and we live in this era where everybody wants to
look the part. Don't get me wrong, people have always
wanted to look like they got money, but social media
has made it way worse, okay, because people don't have
to deal with the reality of their situation as long

(01:17:19):
as they can convince y'all online that they balling.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
This is why I be telling kids all the time,
stop comparing yourself to these digital d heads on social media.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
They line. Okay, you twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
Three years old trying to keep up with another twenty
three year old who walks around taking pictures in front
of other people's cars, acting like it's this half out
of here. Okay, Now, let me tell you something else.
Sometimes you got it and your card declines. Okay, My
cards do that all the time for suspicious activity. Sometimes
the place I'm at, their card reader may not be working.
It's a whole bunch of reasons your card may decline.

(01:17:51):
But if you in line somewhere and your card declines,
then you hear someone behind you whisper brokeie, you gotta concede,
that's jeff. You gotta control your emotions. Okay, what does
your uncle Shawla always tell you you got to do
your jail math?

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Can you afford to commit the crime? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
You online and your card declines and you hear somebody
laugh like Nelson on the Simpsons, you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Gonna you gonna feel away.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
But if you can't afford what you buying at kids
foot locker, how you gonna afford this two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars bond you currently got, Tiffany. Usually you
gotta pay ten percent when you're getting where you're getting twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Five thousand from. Then you gotta pay for a lawyer.
Do you know how much a lawyer costs?

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
With an assault with intent to murder charge, not to
mention for loneous assault and assault would intend to do
great bodily harmed AI over. You told me this morning
that a lawyer for an assault would intent to murder
charge in Michigan can cost anywhere from twenty grand to
over sixty five, depending on the case's complexity and the
attorney's experience. Larger firms may charge forty five to sixty five.

(01:18:56):
Boutique firms might charge twenty to forty, especially if the
goal is a plea negotiation. Hourly rage for Michigan lawyers
can range from approximately one fifty nine forty two and
they want to upfront retainer fee. All I'm simply saying
is you got a lot of heavy charges, so you're
gonna have to spend a lot of heavy.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
Money that you do not have.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Tell me, how can you afford that when your car
just got declined that kids foot locker. You have to
think before you make decisions. Life is about choices. Every decision,
big or small, shapes your identity in future. There's no
reason you go from card getting declined the attempted murder.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
But I'm gonna tell you something. This is why in
this era you really really.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
Gotta practice kindness because Folks is going through it.

Speaker 19 (01:19:37):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
She didn't stab this woman because her car was declined.
She stabbed this woman because she was fed up. Okay,
she just in there trying to get some shoes with
her kids, you know. And and the woman she stabs
said she wasn't even the one clown in her So
that lets me know. Tiffany was just hurt and in pain,
and she wanted to project that hurting pain on whoever
was in her proximity.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
I want you all to be the kind of person
who gives respect to the broke like they're already rich. Okay,
because they are rich in spirit a lot of times.
All right, Character isn't how you treat the rich, is
how you treat the poor. And be careful when you
see someone in a bad financial financial situation.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
Okay, don't laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Learn because one thing about those tables they always turn.
Please give Tiffany Rose Williams the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

Speaker 18 (01:20:22):
Oh no, you are the doge of the day, the
dogee all the day.

Speaker 22 (01:20:35):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
The chat says, So we're not gonna talk about the
kitchen NiFe. I was gonna ask that, yo yo.

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
But it's the fact that the girl who got stabbed
still didn't want the lady to suffer any consequences to
be taken away from my children.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
She said about there she is, but she says she's
conflicted by it. But the girl she stabbed isn't even
the girl who was teething. Probably she probably do feel
sorry for our situation. I can understand that she just
walks around with a kitchen had somebody somebody that's waiting
to snap, somebody who can't afford a gun, or somebody
who don't have a real knife and they know they're

(01:21:12):
going into.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
They bite them. All might be dangerous. I don't know.
Tell me, Michigan, Michigan, y'all tell me what is this?
Is this malls? She was in dangerous? I don't know.
You won't play game? No, I don't. Oh my god,
no one to play game? No, I really don't let
me alone. The chat won't play a game. No, they don't.

Speaker 22 (01:21:28):
Ain't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Nobody in the chat said nothing, And the chat said
they want to play a game.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
The chat did not say they want to play a game.
Ain't nobody in the chat saying that exactly? The chat
actually saying, no, we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):

Speaker 6 (01:23:29):
So we're asking, what are some trigger words that really
piss you off? So we asked the chat right, and
I think the chat responded with my trigger word is family.
You know you play with my family. I think people
know you play my family. I'm a I'm gonna jump.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
I guess I'm I'm confused though, because I guess trigger
words and triggering situations are different. Right if somebody plays
with envy family, yes, but I mean most people are
going to react in that way. I got it, Like
you can't just say family and then you're gonna turn
it to the you know, the beige rage, incredible GREENHAWLK,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
What I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:24:00):
But they say like they say Jessic got some to
they say just trigger words or.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Big stud No it's not I love that, they said.
U uh, I reading said Charlotte, don't like the word cheating.
That's not true.

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
Like y'all y'all be saying that, but we talk about
that because we have learned from our mistakes.

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
Yo.

Speaker 5 (01:24:19):
But you know envy, you don't like housing, you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Don't you know dym Damn. I don't mind that, Okay,
I don't somebody in the chest.

Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
Because somebody always trying to be funny or smart, like.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Somebody in the chat that I hate being told.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
How I feel that is that that is something when
somebody be like you mad.

Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
Yeah, I know, I hate that so bad because you
know you are.

Speaker 5 (01:24:42):
But you don't really want nobody else telling you that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Somebody said Charlotte's trigger is dame dash.

Speaker 6 (01:24:48):
It's not though they said, just trigger is uh trans women.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
That's right, that's true.

Speaker 30 (01:24:57):
That they ain't even say that.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
It's more of a trigger when somebody calls me that,
not just them, period, Like what's somebody when when one
of them called me that that's a trigger for me?

Speaker 27 (01:25:18):
Shut up.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
I will tell y'all the last time I was actually triggered.
The last time I was actually triggered, somebody, somebody that
I've been waiting to see to have a conversation with,
came up to me and accused me of saying something
anonymous about them online, like like basically creating a fake
page and even a comment about them. And I was

(01:25:42):
so triggered that this person would think I was such
a sucker that I would get online to make an
anonymous page just say something about them, and if I
haven't been waiting to see this person and say what
I needed to say to their face.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
So that just really made me go off, Like I mean, yeah,
it was that. It was bad. Like it was. It
was bad.

Speaker 3 (01:26:05):
So you got triggered because somebody basically called you a sucker, yes, cause.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
It's like, you know, I've been waiting to see this
person and say what I needed to say to them,
because I love conflict.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
That's my problem. I actually like talking to people face
to face.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
So when this person said to me accuse me of
making an anonymous page to say something about them, really
I couldn't believe. I was, like, you really think I'm
that much of a sucker that I would make an
anonymous page as opposed to saying, Now, I got to.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Prove something to you and me, so I gotta tell
you everything. I tell you exactly how I feel about you.

What you mean by that. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
She'd be having the latest on you. The Latest with
Laurence La Rosa.

Speaker 1 (01:33:43):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you

It's the latest on the Breakfast.

Speaker 14 (01:33:48):
Club, all right, guys.

Speaker 22 (01:33:51):
So I want to just really quick mention at the
top of the hour that Michael Jackson has now made
history as the first artist to score Hot one hundred
top ten hits in six different decades. So the decades
are the seventies, the eighties, the nineties, the two thousands,
twenty tens, and twenty twenties.

Speaker 5 (01:34:11):
So at the top of twenty twenty, I.

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
Can't see it never stopping.

Speaker 5 (01:34:14):
No, it won't every year, basically.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Especially with thriller Halloween time.

Speaker 22 (01:34:19):
Literally, so the Billboard article that I read that list
out different songs, not all of them, but just some songs.
And how you know they've hit certain things is because
around Halloween time a lot of those songs, especially thriller upticks,
Like they specifically mentioned Thriller.

Speaker 5 (01:34:31):
So you're gonna see this.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Thriller is the Halloween what Mariah carry. All I want
for Christmas is the.

Speaker 5 (01:34:35):
Christmas Yes, one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
And I'm gonna tell you something I cannot wait for
Michael Jackson's biopick and the crazy thing about Michael Jackson's biopick.
There's gonna be a whole generation of people who are
gonna watch that biopick and don't believe any of it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
Why not, because Y're they're not going to realize how
big he was.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
Like everybody likes to compare people to Michael Jackson, there
is no Michael Jackson comparison.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
There is no nobody.

Speaker 1 (01:34:57):
I ain't, not no Taylor Swift, God bless her, not
no thank God bless young Boy, not.

Speaker 6 (01:35:03):
Christy, none of them. Michael. It still gives you that feeling.
The other day, I was in here trying to do
the moon walk because I just had seen it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:10):
What I don't know, you know, you know what I'm saying,
Michael Jackson is one of the most famous people that
ever lived period. I'm talking about like it's like Jesus
Michael Jackson. Like I'm talking not even joking. You go,
you can go look at lists that show that he
was different Jesus and then Michael Jackson.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
Actually it might be Michael. You know, better stop it.
But I was. I don't think there's anybody biggest Michael Jackson.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
Like the Bible length the biggest, the Bible slaps Girl,
best selling the world's best selling I.

Speaker 22 (01:35:42):
M dB says Walt Disney is number one, Michael Jackson
is number two. The most famous, world's most famous people.

Speaker 1 (01:35:48):
There's a bunch of different lists, maybe like that, maybe
Disney World, but I think Michael Jackson bigger than Disney World.

The generation, Michael, no, I just got We got a
lot to get to in this hour. We didn't spend
a lot of time. You can go if you want
to try to remember this, okay, Well, another news speaking
of famous people. Uh so yesterday, Well, no, let's do this.
So Mario and Omrion, there is not been a back
and forth ish, but now there actually is one. So

(01:36:28):
y'all remember Mario was on a Funky Friday with Kim
Newton and he was asked who can sing?

Speaker 5 (01:36:33):
Who can't sing?

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
Right?

Speaker 22 (01:36:34):
And he talked a bit about Mario. Let's say about
O Mario. Let's take a listen to Mario on O
Marion and Cam Newton.

Speaker 2 (01:36:40):
I said, every singer can't sing.

Speaker 27 (01:36:42):
I would give you a list of artists and you
would say, if they can or can't.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
All right? Cool o Marion if you hit or miss
from me?

Speaker 27 (01:36:49):
Sometimes Bobby Valentino he could sing, last but not least.

Speaker 14 (01:36:52):
Chris Brown he could sing yeah, so o.

Speaker 22 (01:36:56):
Marion was on Sway's Universe with Sway Heather B Tracy
g and he was asked about you know that comment
and if he would do music with Mario at this point,
let's take a listen.

Speaker 23 (01:37:07):
But I enjoyed the verses. I know that was a
long time ago that sw and Mario did. Since then,
a lot of just that kind of turbulence has come out.
But I dare say, man, we're entering a whole new age.
It's better that we work together, the work divided. Under
those circumstances, would you ever be willing to do work
with him?

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
You know, I'm not sure.

Speaker 7 (01:37:25):
I don't.

Speaker 31 (01:37:26):
I don't think so. Okay, I don't think so. You know,
I think that for me, it's all about respect.

Speaker 25 (01:37:33):
You know.

Speaker 31 (01:37:33):
I think you can have your opinion, but you know,
the moment, I feel like there's no respect there. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm cool. I'd rather step back, man,
I don't think it's I don't think it's I don't
think it's respect there. You know what I'm saying, especially
for somebody like me that has been doing it before him,
that one.

Speaker 5 (01:37:54):
Question has caused a lot of all life. But I
understand what he's saying.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
I can't understand what he's saying.

Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
I get like, like, don't play with me, man, That's
what I do, even if I can't sing to you
like you know what I'm saying. I don't know because
because camer Mario was being funny, I would watch the
whole thing they it while it's still his opinion, and
you know all of that. People's voices are subjective, like you,
you can clearly see that they playing too, like they

(01:38:19):
really playing around.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
And Michael Jackson sold one hundred million records.

Speaker 22 (01:38:23):

Jackson number two.

Speaker 2 (01:38:55):
Why are you glazing him this morning? That he's telling
the truth?

Speaker 22 (01:38:59):
Yeah, okay, I saw while a tweet this and y'all
you just mentioned some of these people. He was saying,
how fire it is that in every and a lot
of these new generations they're comparing people to Michael Jackson.
Because then we have to have this conversation about how
famous and how successful Michael Jackson actually was in a
new generation.

Speaker 3 (01:39:13):
Because you didn't know, right, they didn't know the impact
that Michael Jackson hads. So there to how we speak
about Michael Jackson, they look at a I guess, yes,
yes we did, Yes, of course, kill it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
I can't wait to see it.

Speaker 22 (01:39:31):
So, oh, this is a positive way to end the
the hour. So Tyrese. Tyrese is working with reach Out Worldwide,
which is an organization that was created by Paul Walker,
and they are currently you know, getting together a ton
of different supplies and he told me it's a huge warehouse.
Like it's like a huge warehouse. They're filling up this
warehouse and then they're going to be flying a cargo

(01:39:52):
plane over to Jamaica to bring some supplies there. And
he wanted us to let people know that it's happening,
and I have an address where you can send some
things to us. Well, let's take a listen to Tyrees.
He's on an airline or he's on the plane with
one of a woman from Jamaica who's helping them organize
the efforts. And he's doing this also with on the
scott that's the coolest rat capacity.

Speaker 26 (01:40:10):

reach out worldwide and donate so that.

because you're a flight attendant, right, yes I am, and
there's some people that could also donate their plane to
get some type of efforts.

Speaker 7 (01:40:27):

Miami where you can send things is three seven seven
Northwest one hundred and seventieth Street in Miami, Florida. And

William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
