(03:29):

in a little bit. And then we got front page news.
Morgan is here, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ n V, Jess Hilariy is
Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
in some front page news. What's up Morgan?

Speaker 8 (03:47):
Hey y'all, Hey, how y'all feeling on our Thursday?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Friday's Thursday? I'm girm tying, how you doing.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I'm all right.

Speaker 7 (03:57):
Look, I'm doing all right.

Speaker 8 (03:59):
Well, I know we want to talk about what's going
on in at what happened with that Georgia shooting. I'm
gonna get into that, but first let's talk about what's
happening in Texas. I'm gonna get you caught up with
the Dems in that drama. So Texas Governor Greg Abbott
is escalating his fights, his fight against Democratic lawmakers who
fled the state to block a vote on a Republican
congressional redistricting plant. Now, Abbot has filed a lawsuit targeting

(04:23):
a lawmaker he calls the ring leader, and is asking
the Texas Supreme Court to remove him. Representative Jeen Wu
defended his actions and accused Abbot of using the law
to weaponize and silence people. More than fifty Democratic lawmakers
left the state, denying the korum needed to block the plan.
The governor asked the court to rule by this afternoon,
while the state House is set to reconvene again on Friday,

(04:47):
So we will see if they reached that qorum and
those Democrats will return by Friday, but it seems doubtful now.
Republicans President Trump, Texas A. G. Kim Paxton and Senator
John Cornyn they are. We're also open to having the
FBI assist in getting those Democratic lawmakers to return to Texas. Now,
Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker he's vowing to protect Texas House Democrats.

(05:11):
Speaking yesterday in Illinois State Fairgrounds, Pritzker said Texas rangers
are welcome to visit the state of Illinois, but they
cannot arrest anyone and take them away. Let's hear more
from JB. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois.

Speaker 9 (05:24):
There is no federal law that prevents the legislators from
Texas from coming to the state and spending their time
here and breaking quorum in the state of Texas.

Speaker 8 (05:36):
It's important to note that his comments come hours after
a bomb threat at a secure hotel in Saint Charles
force the evacuation of four hundred guests. The guest also
included dozens of Texas House Democrats who left that state
to stop Republicans vote from voting to redraw the map
and that would give them five more pickups opportunities ahead

(05:56):
of the twenty twenty sixth election. Me Now me while
the threats are being kicked out of off. The threats
of being kicked out of office are not swaying Texas Democrats
who left the state. This is the fifth quorum break
for state Representative Trey Martinez Fisher. Let's hear those comments
from him.

Speaker 10 (06:12):
And I've done two under Governor Avid one for six
weeks and we've never heard this desperate tactic before. Donald
Trump must really be squeezing him if he's going to
come up with a desperate tactic to say that voters
can elect us, but one guy can take us out
of office.

Speaker 8 (06:27):
So Martinez Fisher welcomes the lawsuit, saying he would love
to depose Governor Abbotts so he could ask him about
his secret dealings with Elon Musk. Martinez Fischer is in
Chicago meeting with fellow Democrats. His colleagues are also in
New York and Boston. And speaking of Boston, do we
have audio from Senator Carrol Alvarado, Well, she spoke out
about the issue. Let's take a listen to her comments.

(06:50):
We've all heard the term jerry mandrey, which was founded
here in Massachusetts.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
This, ladies and gentlemen, is Trump mandrain.

Speaker 8 (07:00):
Donald Trump picked up the phone called our governor and
demanded new maps, and just like that, Texas Republicans sprang
into action. That's Texas State Senator Carol Alvarado. She accused
Texas Republicans of doing what is best for the president
and not the people. The heated political rhetoric has led
to at least one threat against members of the Texas

(07:22):
House Democratic Caucus who are in Illinois, New York, and Boston.
Has previously mentioned, and of course Chairman Geen Wu said
in a statement that they are safe, secure, and undeterred.
Now it is unclear when those Democrats might return to Texas,
and the redistricting is being pushed, and the redistricting is
being pushed is being pushed by President Trump. Of course, again,

(07:43):
as I mentioned, who wants those five more GOP friendly
districts drawn asap. So I'll continue to follow this story.
But that's your six am. Four Uh, that's your front
page news for six am. And you guys stick around
at seven and we'll talk about what happened in that
shooting at the military base in Georgia.

I got both of your books, Envy, I got They're

I'm like, who lions struggling? Like it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (15:57):

labor chief last week because the labor chief reported the
actual statistics of you know, the unemployment rate being high.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
But he fired them and said that they were wrong.
But you cannot lie to the people.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
You can't peel on people's head and tell them it's
rain and people know what they feeling in the streets exactly.

Speaker 15 (16:14):
Yeah. But I appreciate you, guys. I've been trying to
get through for years. And one last thing before I go, envy.
I was at your car show a couple of years ago,
being myself take a picture with you. I appreciate it.
We can't afford to go this year, but I was

(16:34):
wondering if I could, you know, get some tickets to
bring them this shit.

Speaker 2 (16:37):

All right, thank you. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
But you know it's so interesting, man, That's why I
was saying a couple of weeks ago. You know it's
good when you create these spaces of joy, because that's
what the car show is.

Speaker 12 (17:11):
Right.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
But just think about that brother.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
That brother just want to take his son to the
car show but simply can't afford to, right, Just think
about that, how.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
That you don't think how that frustrates people.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
I just want to take my son to a car show,
but can't afford to a car show.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Just think about that. Yep, how much of car show
think it's caused him?

Speaker 6 (17:26):
They started at nineteen ninety nine, I think they twenty
nine down.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Now it's so forty dollars essentially, Just think about that.
I can't afford forty dollars to go to a car show,
and you're gonna sit there and try to lie to
people and tell.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Him that the economy is good man, please, man.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Well, that's why we got to create, you know, keep
creating these spaces for us so that we can do
affordable things and free things and as much as we
can for people so they can just take the time
and you know, instead of having that stress, instead of
thinking about all the negative things, just have a little
bit of joy, you know, I mean, whatever it may be,
you know.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
So that's what that's what that's what we love to do.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes.

Speaker 12 (19:11):
You have a little bit every time.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
The on the Breakfast Club talk to me.

Speaker 20 (19:16):
So Scott Mills sat down from BT sat down with
Gail Mitchell over at Billboard and they had a conversation
about BT's forty five year legacy. He's the CEO BT Yes,
CEO BT Yes, and they had a conversation about the
legacy of forty five years of BT. Now, within the conversation,
you talked about a ton of different things, but one
of the major things that came out of this interview

(19:38):
was we learned that the BT Hip Hop Awards and
the b ET Soul Train Awards are going to right
now are suspended. So Gail Mitchell acts Scott if he
can confirm the chatter, uh, because there have been a
conversation about tow a BT Awards shows, the Sult Train
and the Hip Hop Awards no longer happening. So he

(19:59):
says that, you know, he wouldn't say that this is,
you know, not happening. He says that right now, as
of right now, they are suspended. But basically what they're
trying to figure out at BT is how do they
bring or do these award shows in a way where
it fits where the media landscape is today, because it
might not mean that the Hip Hop Awards or the
Soul Train Awards have to be on linear TV. But

(20:21):
he does say that they are not gone. I know, yesterday,
you know, I saw a conversation around the awards being
completely gone and canceled. He says in this article they
are not going. They're just trying to find a way
to rework it so that it fits where we are now.
And when he says that they had already previously had
a conversation about like the other ventures that BT has,
so whether it's BT Plus or you know, BT Digital,

(20:41):
where do they put the award show so that they
work out better now. She follows up this question when
asking about the twenty twenty five Beet Awards, because when
this year's BT Awards went down, although the show was amazing,
the ratings were a lot lower than they were last year,
so there have been conversation about the BET Awards being
canceled and because of the viewership. So she says, your

(21:02):
Ship dropped almost fifty percent in a key demographic which
is eighteen years old to forty nine years old from
last year's show. She asked Scott Mills does he have
any concerns about the longevity of the BT Awards, and
he says, your Ship was down, but the cable ecosystem
is smaller number one than it was a year ago,
and that's just the reality of it. But he also
says that a lot of it has to do with

(21:24):
the fact that they last year they changed the BT
Awards from the Sunday that it's always on to a
Monday now. When that change was announced, people were confused
because it's always on that like that certain Sunday.

Speaker 19 (21:34):
I think it's like the third Sunday in June.

Speaker 20 (21:37):
People were confused and people were wondering why so I
did some poking around yesterday to try and figure out
because he didn't answer the question as to why it
was moved around. He just said that they weren't going
to bring it back. They're going to take it back
to their original Sunday. But the show was good. He
gave a big props to Kanye Orlando said, you know,
they did an amazing job this year with the show,
but we can't get around what happened. And from what
I was told, the reason why it was moved around

(21:58):
was because there was a huge sporting event that was
happening at that time that they couldn't work like.

Speaker 19 (22:04):
They needed certain venues and you know, they used the JW.

Speaker 20 (22:06):
Marriott Hotel and different venues and they didn't have access
to the things that they needed, so they had to
move the day. I was confused about that because I'm
like a show as big as the BT Awards, I
thought you would book out the venues you need for
years at a time, probably, And what I was told
was that sometimes people do do that. But because again
the landscape of things are changing every single day, it's

(22:27):
hard to predict what will.

Speaker 19 (22:29):
And what won't happen a year from now, two years
from now.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
So salute to Scott Mills, But I don't know why
he's complicating this.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
These shows just aren't making no money.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, Like that's just the morals of the story and
the reality of the situation. None of these shows are
making the money they need to be on to be on.
It's just that simple. If these shows were making money,
and if these shows were profitable, these shows, it would
be no question about none of these award shows they'd
be on.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Not only that, you know, you look at the Hip
Hop Awards and if you don't have the top five
hip hop artists coming to your show and you're doing
a hip hop award show, that kind of hurts as well,
right every whoever your top five award, you know, your
top five rappers are. If you don't have Kendrick performing
or Drake performing, or Future or Travis Scott or whoever
the top five is that people say, if they're not

(23:13):
at your hip hop award show, it's kind of like like,
you know, I mean, you want to see represented, and
we've seen and represented. I mean we've seen Michael Jackson
at these award shows when it was time for those wars.
We've seen whole we've seen Dre, we've seen Snoop, We've
seen nons Like, we've seen TI, We've seen our big celebrities.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
MV makes a.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Great point because the reality of the situation is artists
treat these award shows like they're disposable and they don't
come to them.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
But they'll go to all the white award shows.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
And that's why the white award shows still get the viewership,
and that's why the white award shows still get the
sponsorships because they get the eyeballs.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
If the top.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Artists came to these shows, they would get the eyeballs
and they'd still be getting the money. But if you
do that for years like they've been, like they've been
ignoring you know, the BET Hip Hop Award and Sold
Training Awards for years. If the top artists ignore those
shows for years, eventually people stop watching and drives up.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
It's not rocket science, people, Yeah, you want to see
your favorite artists. Your favorite artists are not there, the
biggest artists are not there performing, you're not You're less
likely to watch it. But if I know my favorite artist,
the biggest artist, Kendrick is gonna be performing and or
this one, you're gonna watch but those all this to help.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
With the sponsorships.

Speaker 20 (24:16):
Yeah, and you also talked about to BT went through
a huge round of layoffs recently as well too, and
he talked about, you know, just the money being different
over the BT has been at this for a very
long time and the money has been different. Placing advertisers
is different as well too, because of the things that
you guys are talking about. I think across the industry
we're seeing a lot of this, but I do think
we are We're impacted a lot differently because the fight

(24:37):
for money is different for us. Skyt Mills talked about
that when he was up here on the Breakfast Club
as well. But yeah, I saw a lot of people
upset yesterday and you know kind of like, well was
us and we need these platforms, but people don't.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Support they want people don't.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
They always They always act upset when something is gone,
but when it's here, you're done.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
Prekate on it every chance you get.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
When it's on, you trash the award shows when they on,
and you say that you know that the award show
is trash and blah blah blah. But then when it's
gone you upset. Yeah, and you know what, you gotta start,
You gotta go. You gotta stop treating your culture like
it's disposable, but then get mad when it's disposed up.

Speaker 20 (25:16):
You know, we haven't had a conversation about too. With
this whole CBS thing and the sky Dance merging, all
that is BT being over there, and a lot of
their content is going to be heavily impacted too, if
what we see is happening is actually happening with things
being censored. They in the article mental Acts, Scot knows
about that, and he says that he's not going to
speak to potential corporate outcomes because you know, he's just

(25:39):
going to basically like stead fast and stay focused. But
how do you how do you not be so scared
and so nervous if you're a BT under all of
this censorship that we're seeing over s CBS and Paramount
and all the places like.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Program No, but they have BT not doing nothing that
need to be.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Et is saying, is making a stand of saying anything.

Speaker 19 (26:02):
That's maybe not day no, maybe not daily, but like.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Voting time sisters sisters.

Speaker 20 (26:11):
Around when BT does like their voter programs and like
the go get out and vote like they do take times,
and they do certain things where they're shooting back and
they're they're running content that's in support not in support
of Donald Trump. They might not get as vulgar, but
they do do their small things to try and like push.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Et sentences theirself and sometimes the ways that they shouldn't.
I mean, people were so excited to see Chris Brown
do Michael Jackson. They sent to him the things that
they sent to themselves like.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
They do bad censtership too.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
You be watching BT and be like mother Mother, mother,
friar friar, fring fring, like.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Like what just happened?

Speaker 20 (26:55):
Well, however, they bring those shows back, and there's no
timeline yet, But however they bring those shows back, please
tune in.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
You know, if the money ain't there, the shows ain't
gonna be there. It's really just that simple. If they
can't get the sponsorships and get the money to be there,
the show's not gonna be there.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
That's all.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
But you know, like the what NV said earlier is true.
If you get the best artists in the game to
start showing up to these shows, more eyeballs will be
on these shows. These shows will go viral. More you
figure out the digital component, and you know the sponsorships.

Speaker 7 (27:20):
Will come back.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Maybe that's right.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
All right now the money's.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
Ride up and that is the latest with Lauren.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
All right now, when we come back, we got front
page news more gonna be joining us, and then BMX
professional rider Nigel Selvester will be joining us. So we'll
kick to him. We'll kick with him in a little bit.
So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast Club. Come morning,
the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Everybody,
your dj NV just Hilarius Charlamagne, the guy. We are

(27:47):
the breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news.
What's up, Morgan?

Speaker 7 (27:52):
What's up? Is that? Okay?

Speaker 8 (27:54):
Some five soldiers for Stewart and Georgia are recovering after
being shot Wednesday morning. That's according to Brigadier General John Lewis,
who also identified the shooter as Sergeant Cornelius Radford. Now
Radford was stationed at the base and has not been
in combat. Brigadier General John Lubis gave details on the
shooting at Fort Stewart. Let's take a listen to his comments.

Speaker 21 (28:16):
This morning, shortly before eleven o'clock, an active duty soldier
assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia, shot and wounded five of
his fellow soldiers here on Fort Stewart. Thankfully, all are
unstable condition and all are expected to recover. Sergeant Radford
has been interviewed by the Army Criminal Investigation Division and

(28:38):
is currently in pre trial confinement awaiting a charging decision
by the Office of the Special Trial Council.

Speaker 8 (28:45):
So As mentioned, Radford was stationed at the base but
had not been in combat. Now Lubas says Radford was
subdued by fellow soldiers and is under arrest. He is
believed to have used his own personal handgun in the shooting,
not an Army is Sue weapon, and of course, the
investigation into the shooting continues. Meanwhile, President Trump called Radford

(29:05):
a horrible person. He smoke more about the shooting at
Fort Stewart in Georgia from the White House on Wednesday.
Let's take a listen to Trump's remarks regarding that shooting.

Speaker 22 (29:15):
The shooter is now in custody and the Army Criminal
Investigation Division is on site to ensure that the perpetrator
of this atrocity, which is exactly what it is, will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
The entire nation is praying for.

Speaker 22 (29:31):
The victims and their families and hopefully they'll fully recover
and we can put this chapter behind but we're not
going to forget what happened. We're going to take very
good care of this person that did this horrible person.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
Yeah, it's unfortunately.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
It's center of that.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
He said, we're going to put this chapter behind us,
but that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
I wouldn't even call it a chapter.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
It's just another paragraph within a chapter of a never
ending book. Right because because there's nothing that's going to
be done to prevent any of these mass shootings in
the future. There's not gonna be no gun legislation. They're
cutting funding for mental health resources, so what do you do?

Speaker 2 (30:09):
But on this case, like what do you do? Like
you know, he was he's military. I mean, he was
his own personal handgun. But it's like, you know, what
do you do to stop a lot of it? Because
therapy is registered something. Because there's no.

Speaker 8 (30:24):
Word on a motive to the shooting butt and investigators
are not calling it terroristic as of yet, but there
has been some speculation around him dealing with racism at
that base. But again that's just speculation at this point.
So again the investigation is ongoing. But to your point,
what can you do?

Speaker 3 (30:42):
And and I don't know how long he's been in
the military. I don't know if that you know, if
he was a combat soldier or not. But we do
know that a lot of those veterans deal with mental
health issues.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
I don't think he was a combat soldier. I don't
think he was deployed, Okay, I think.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
So it wasn't like he was you know, receiving you know,
that he was getting flashbacks or anything like that is
just you know, you just don't know. You know, when
people snap, they snap. But yeah, I guess it's getting
to the reason of happening, you know, to figure it
out before it happens, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (31:10):
To your point, though, envy sometimes that can also be uh,
you know, mentally challenging for people to have to be
training for combat, to be training for all of these
you know, high stakes type situations and then to never
actually use that training. That can you know, probably play
on your mental.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
Health as well.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
But you know, I'm not going to get ahead of
the investigation and speculate too much. But yeah, we will continue, clearly. Clearly,
he did not justifying it any way. I'm just saying,
you know, things differently.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (31:40):
Meanwhile, in international affairs, a meeting with President Trump, Russian
President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky could happen next week.
That's according to multiple reports. Now, The New York Times
reports the he plans to meet with Putin first, and
then with both of the leaders together. Trump spoke of
his plans to meet with them when talking to European
leaders on Wednesday, after his Ruhl envoy Steve Wickkoff held

(32:02):
a meeting with Putin in Moscow. Now, Trump said Steve
wet Kof had good talks with Putin in Russia this week,
and when he was asked if there was a breakthrough,
here's what Trump had to say.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
I don't call it a breakthrough. I mean, we've been
working under this a long time.

Speaker 22 (32:15):
There are thousands of young people dying, mostly soldiers, but
also you know, missiles being hidd into Kiev and other places.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
Yes.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
So Trump has been pushing to end the fighting between
the two countries Russia and Ukraine, and has grown increasingly
frustrated with what he calls Putin's in action toward any
sort of ceasefire deal. Now, he gave Russia until Friday,
that's tomorrow, to agree to a ceasefire or he would
place sanctions against them. So we'll see what happens regarding
the ceasefire deadline tomorrow on Friday.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
What Trump needs to do is call Dana White and
let Dana White come in and Zelinsky and Putin run
to fade right there, because the reality of the situation
is the beef is between the two governments, right, But
then you know all of the civilians that these countries
get caught up in the middle of these guys war.
Let them run the fade right there, and you know
whoever wins, that's who wins the war game.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
It's over after that.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
But you know what the slap contest when he slapped
each other's face just three times, and it's over after that.
They could do that too.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
I got putent in that, I got Pooting in the
slap contest, I got I got yeah, I got Zelensky
in a straight up faith.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
I got Zelenskysk. He trained, he looks like he get
busy and Putin looks like a little older. Looked like
you slapped one time.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
He's put wrestle.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, you're right, Yeah, I forgot about that, but I
thought he was a little sick. But okay, you're right.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Slap contest, just straight up standing there.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
And you got him wind up. I got putent, but
in a fade, I got zlisky.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
Okay, all right, y'all before I go, uh my last story.
More Americans are falling behind on their bills. That seems
to be a trend for today's show. More Americans are
falling behind on their bills because of student loan payments.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's quarterly Report on
Household and Credit Report released this week, shows that about

(34:03):
four point four percent of US accounts were delinquent in
the second quarter. That's up from four point three percent
in the first quarter and three point two percent in
the second quarter of last year, so the numbers are
trending upward. The report says the rise in late bills
is being driven largely by the return of student loan
payments after a nearly five year pause, of course that

(34:23):
took place during the pandemic, and by delinquent loans being
reported to collection agencies again. So total debt among US
households also rolls rose in the second quarter by about
one percent. So to your point, the people are struggling
and it doesn't seem like there's any ease as of
the coming anytime soon. So that's your front page news.

(34:45):
Y'all can check me out, follow me on socials.

Speaker 7 (34:47):

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Good Morning, The Breakfast Club, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Everybody is DJ ENV just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we
are the Breakfast Club. Law La Rosa is here as well,
and we got a special guest in the building, Pro
BMX biker athlete, brothers from Queens, Nigel selvester ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
Welcome, Yes, sir, big Queens.

Speaker 12 (35:36):
Big Queens in the building.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
How are you feeling?

Speaker 11 (35:39):
Incredible? Incredible? God looked met this morning, so it feelt great.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
There you go. Now we get when we get brothers
like you. I like to start from the beginning of
how right right, So you're from Laurelton, Queens, Yes, sir,
which is north side, which is the same side of Queens.
I'm from him from Queens Village and growing up in
Queen's we all rode bikes, right, but we didn't ride
to the caliber of that you rode. For We rolled
to go to the park. We rode to go to

(36:02):
the store, to Bodega, to go to White Castle, to
go to Right DIDs. The Brooklyn kids from trying to
steal our bikes all the time, but you you took
a different route.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
So so stuck with you growing up.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
In Queens and how you got into being mex biking
and taking it serious.

Speaker 11 (36:18):
I mean, just like you said, right, like we grew
up riding bikes in that capacity to get from pointy
to point b For me, it was like during that
point A to point B, I was like, I want
to jump off this curve.

Speaker 12 (36:27):
I want to pop up Willie or like I was
curious in that way and that just man.

Speaker 11 (36:32):
It took me down a route of like okay, like
how far can I take this right? Like how how
many steps can I jump down on to grind this
bench over here? And once I started to discover that
you can do it professionally, I was like, oh, this
is what I want to do.

Speaker 12 (36:44):
I was sold after that.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
But what got you into that? Because grown up in Queens,
you know, sometimes we idolize basketball players because we see them, right,
we see Mark Jackson from Queens, Stevenson and all these
other people. We see rappers run DMC tribe calls Quest
fifty and whoever it was, we seen him, DJ's J
and Maaster J klue myself. But what got you in

(37:06):
to say, you know what, I can do this professionally?
What was What were you watching and says I want
to do this.

Speaker 12 (37:11):
I've seen it on.

Speaker 11 (37:11):
TV, right, I've seen X games on TV seeing guys
like Dave Mirror and Matt Hoffman and Ryan Niquist, and
these guys were flying through the air. They had their
helmets on and their chest protectors and all the stickers
on their bikes, and it was super cool to me.

Speaker 12 (37:25):
I was just intrigued. I was like, damn, I looked
that looks dope.

Speaker 11 (37:28):
And of course, like I would see like basketball players
on TV and rappers as you mentioned, that was dope
to me as well, you know what I mean.

Speaker 12 (37:35):
But it was something about bike riding that it just
clicked for me.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
It was different how were when you really started taking
it serious.

Speaker 11 (37:42):
I was like twelve years old, yeah, and I just
always have a big imagination as well, right, Like I'm
just living on my imagination still. But even then, I
was like, man, like, it's something about this bike that
I'm thinking about different things that I want to do,
and I'm going outside and trying it in real time, right,
just figuring it out. Like I would take like an
old tire and a board and make a ramp and

(38:03):
like go back.

Speaker 12 (38:04):
Thirty to forty feet and just pedal as fast.

Speaker 11 (38:06):
As I can hit that ramp and fly through the air.
And it was something about that feeling of flying through
the air that became like.

Speaker 12 (38:12):
It's just like adrenaline rush to me and I remembered it.

Speaker 7 (38:15):
You built like you would build a ramp.

Speaker 12 (38:17):
Oh yeah, building ramps.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
Yeah, I'm going to like Saint Clair's Park and the
school that I'm grinding on, like marble ledges and whatnot,
and anything I could find it a jump on my bike,
I would do it.

Speaker 10 (38:28):
Now.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
You also from Caribbean descent. Yeah, So what did your
Caribbean parents say when you say, Ma, I want to
ride bikes? And the bikes that you're talking about are
not the bikes from TSS, Target and those type of stores.
You had professional bike with professional pegs them. Bikes were
a lot of money back in. How did that work?

Speaker 12 (38:48):
Man?

Speaker 11 (38:48):
Like my mom, she didn't really like to watch me ride,
like any mind you was like, I don't want you
to see hurt yourself, like I'm afraid for you, and
things of that nature. But the thing that she did
that I applaud her for that she gave me the
freedom to go out and try, you know what I mean.
Like she may have not wanted to watch me do
it because she was afraid of me like her and myself,

(39:09):
but she let me go out in the neighborhood and
do my thing and let me hang out with other
kids who rode bikes and whatnot, so.

Speaker 12 (39:16):
Like that was what that was.

Speaker 11 (39:17):
And when I turned pro, like she didn't really understand
it a first, but it took her a minute, but
once she got it, she's like, okay, cool and it
was in the full support of it. So shout out
to Mama Sylvester.

Speaker 19 (39:28):
You've been working with on Nike for over a decade now, right.

Speaker 12 (39:31):
Yeah, it's been how long it's been over fifteen years? Now?

Speaker 19 (39:34):
How old were you when you started working with them?

Speaker 12 (39:36):
I was eighteen, so.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 19 (39:39):
Was that before you were pro?

Speaker 12 (39:41):
It was right after?

Speaker 20 (39:42):
Okay got you because I was gonna ask because when
you were a kid, I saw an interview did you
talked about when you were kid?

Speaker 19 (39:46):
Nike was just sending you stuff and.

Speaker 20 (39:48):
I was wondering, like, at what point, because you know,
social media is it's not new, but like people understanding
how to use social media and you're laying You're like,
you're one of the people that I think people look
at because we don't really know too much about black
BMX bike riders.

Speaker 19 (40:00):
How did you know that do what you do to
attract the brands? That young?

Speaker 12 (40:03):
For sure?

Speaker 11 (40:04):
So BMX ha is like a proper industry, right, Like
they're like, there's a way to turn pro, like in
that way is pretty much like it's either you ride
contests and sponsors would see you like at these contests,
or you can be a free rider, which is like
creating content. I would say would be the equivalent and
like putting that content out into the world. And I

(40:25):
took the free ride route, where like I didn't rite
in contest, didn't care for that. Those contests never really
came to like New York City andremely unconventional, extremely and
I was actually on a tour.

Speaker 12 (40:38):
We went down to North Carolina to meet Dave Mirror.

Speaker 11 (40:42):
Who was the dude, the not do but the athlete,
the legend that gave me my first shot to turn pro.

Speaker 10 (40:49):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (40:49):
And when I and when I met him, he just
took a liking to me. And at this point in time,
like I would compare Dave Mirror, he's like that Michael
Jordan of be a X Riding, you know what I mean.
So we were down there met him, He's like, Yo,
I'm starting this brand.

Speaker 12 (41:03):
I want to sign you to the brands.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
What's the name of the brand.

Speaker 12 (41:06):
The brand's called Miracle Bikes.

Speaker 11 (41:07):
So he ended up signing me to the brand maybe
four months after meeting him. And while I was on
that trip, I met a gentleman by the name of
Mark Closi. Mark Glosi would end up going on to
be the team manager of the Nike BMX program. So
shortly after signing with Dave Mirror, Mark Closi was like, cool, Like,
I'm at Nike, now I'm going to sign you. So
I literally signed a turn pro and signed to America

(41:29):
Bikes and Nike all within the year of turning eighteen.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Was there any pressure for yourself? Because I know, growing up,
even watching television in the X Games, there wasn't too
many black people doing it right, so now you are
kind of the black guy that does it. Is there
any pressure knowing that all these kids are looking up
to you because you're the one that looks like me,
You're the one that looks like my brother, You're the
one that came from the place that I came. Is

(41:54):
there any pressure with that?

Speaker 11 (41:56):
No, because there were black BMX athletes on a professional
level before for me, you know, and a lot of
them come after me.

Speaker 12 (42:03):
I'm just doing my thing.

Speaker 11 (42:04):
Honestly, I don't feel any pressure for me, it's a
frost pressure for that. For me, it's more I put
the pressure myself to be the best. That's what it
matters to me at this point, Like I'm here for
a reason and I want to leave a mark that
will stand the test of time.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
You were probably one of the first that really mixed
the culture together, right because usually when you see a
bem Mex biker, you'd be like, that's not me. I
liked what they're doing, but that doesn't represent me. Or
if you see somebody like, ah, he doesn't wear what
I wear. But you were totally different. Like you you
were the I don't want to say the hip hop
be a Mex biker, but you were the hip hop biker.
Like you were the one who's like, like, like me,

(42:41):
listen to the music I listened to. So explain that
a little bit in that breakdown.

Speaker 11 (42:45):
I mean, I think it's similar to what you just said, right,
Like we grew up not too far from one another,
so that was the environment, you know what I mean.
Like I'm watching like my older brothers whatnot come through
the block and rimmed up Maximus and Lexicis and whatnot,
and like I'm watching music videos on TV and I'm
going to the Coliseum block to go shop, to go
buy jerseys and warm up suits and fitted hats.

Speaker 12 (43:07):
I'll come from that.

Speaker 11 (43:08):
So when I turned pro, even just like BMX writer
in general, I naturally mix those two things together because
it's just that's just who I was.

Speaker 12 (43:16):
That was but who I am, you know what I mean.

Speaker 11 (43:19):
So that's why it looks like, That's why it comes
across like that, and it comes across real. It's not
like four Store. I'm not living outside myself or doing
something that's not me.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
I was still kicking it with professional being MEX writer.
Nigel Selvester, was it difficult for you because during that
time it was a lot of bingxes were so crossover, right,
they were so.

Speaker 6 (43:37):
Ara, Cromb and Fitch, but you weren't.

Speaker 12 (43:40):
So was it.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Difficult to get deals and difficult to get placements and
places you need to be because you weren't like the
rest of them.

Speaker 11 (43:47):
I definitely felt friction at times, and especially within the
industry right at a certain point in time, and she
was like, oh, like you're trying to be a rat
for or like you're too hip hop for.

Speaker 12 (43:57):
Us, And I was like, what are you talking?

Speaker 11 (43:58):
About like this is who I am, so I think
it took them a minute to get that. But what's
also interesting though, it was like for me coming up,
I'm watching BMX videos and guys are using rap songs
and things that nature in these songs. Again, like there
were black BMX riders or riders of color way before me. Right,
I just took it to another level, right when you

(44:19):
see me in a music video, where asat ferg and
people are just like whoa, that's different. But at the
same time, like riding BMX bikes, you know what I mean,
Like we cool? Oh yeah, ber grabbed bikes. It was
in one of my first videos back I think it
was like two thousand and eight, thousand and nine or
something like that.

Speaker 12 (44:36):
Folks even started rapping and using one of.

Speaker 19 (44:38):
Telling his fashion to he dresses a lot, like yeah.

Speaker 11 (44:41):
I mean, like, it's just it's part of what we do, right, Like,
just because you ride bikes doesn't mean that we're not
into other things. It means that that doesn't mean that
we're confined to one space, right, know what I mean?
Like not like it's just part of what we do
growing up in the hood. Like you ride bikes, you know,
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
And as good as you make it look relatable though,
because I mean you make it more relatable because although
bikers do more than just ride bikes to some kids,
some kids may think that's like a category where it's like,
you know, not like like for instance, Nascar, you don't
see a lot of black Nascar drivers, you know what
I mean. So to your point, like what you do,
you make it look more accessible and more relatable to

(45:18):
like somebody growing up in Queens Now or Brooklyn or whatever.

Speaker 11 (45:21):
You know, And that's that's super important to me though,
right Like I want kids from those neighborhoods to know
that they can do this too, you know what I mean,
Like why not, you know, like just because you're from
a certain neighborhood or from a certain environments a certain situation,
doesn't mean that you have to be confined only doing
certain things, you know, so.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Like like wrapping or playing basketball, right too, we can
do way more.

Speaker 12 (45:43):
We can do way way more.

Speaker 20 (45:44):
Talk about a little bit about brand trust, because one
of the things I thought was interesting, like in your packaging,
because Nike is very particular with their brand, but they
let you do the bike over the night, and I
know that you also had that on a shoe like
one of your first shoes you did.

Speaker 12 (45:56):
But Jordan's right, yeah, I love it cooler look.

Speaker 20 (45:59):
Yeah, but it's fire right even so, like if y'all
I was really researching yesterday because I think what you
do is so fire. But if you look closely, there's
like a distorted text on this right night. You don't
play about their branding. How was it for you? Was
it your idea to say, hey, can we do the
Nike as bike And were they just down or did

(46:19):
they come to.

Speaker 7 (46:19):
You with that?

Speaker 15 (46:20):
No?

Speaker 11 (46:20):
So what I did my first AJ one, my first
collaboration with Jordan Brand was in two thousand and seventeen,
and that's when the idea sparked. I remember I was
sitting in like the energy design room looking at one
of the reference shoes that we were using, and I'm
looking at the label just like this. I'm like, man,
it'd be so cool if we just turned into a
B And at that point in time we were like,

(46:43):
no way, they'll like let us do it. So we
just sat on the idea. And this is when I
was still signed to the Nike side of the business.
I signed to the Jordan brands side of the business
in twenty twenty one, and the first shoe I worked
on when I signed to the Jordan Bran side of
the business was it was the Friends and Family shoe.

Speaker 12 (46:57):
It was a Nike airship, which is the first shoe
that MJ when it came into the league before the
AJ one.

Speaker 11 (47:02):
And because it was a friendly's family shoe, I was like, Yo,
maybe they'll let us do it now. So we did
it and then once we posted it online it went crazy.
I think it was because of the concept made so
much sense, right, Like people have watched me on my
bike in the air or my entire career, right, so
when you take something like that and then you you

(47:23):
bring it together with bike air and it's like, oh,
it just makes so much sense.

Speaker 12 (47:28):
That's why it just took off. And now like all
the shoes that I'm doing and have bike here on it.

Speaker 19 (47:33):
Do you like resellers reselling your sneakers?

Speaker 20 (47:36):
And now because some of it, like the brick by bricks,
it was like World War two out here.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
It was crazy.

Speaker 20 (47:44):
Yes, it's almost impossible to find you like that or no,
because how do you benefit from resellers?

Speaker 11 (47:50):
That's part of the culture that's part of the culture,
you know, like the fact that people want to pay two, three,
four times over with like the real retail price for
the shoe. It just says that like the they love
the product, they relate to the story. It has equity
in it, you know what I mean. The resell game

(48:11):
is the whole It's the whole industry, you know what
I mean. Like people feed themselves and feed their families
off that game.

Speaker 12 (48:16):
So shout out to the resellers. Man, Do y'all think.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
I also riding? When I was a kid riding, we
didn't have helmets, right, we didn't write, we didn't wear helmets, right,
So what was the worst injury that you got?

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Rotten?

Speaker 6 (48:27):
And what happened?

Speaker 12 (48:29):
Ask this question?

Speaker 8 (48:30):
Man.

Speaker 11 (48:31):
I think people look at BMX and it's like, man, like,
it's like the most dangerous thing.

Speaker 12 (48:39):
It's just as dangerous as any other sport.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
Right.

Speaker 12 (48:42):
Think about a running back coming through the line. Is
ray lewis right there ready to at.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Least he got.

Speaker 20 (48:52):
And you know when to expect it. But the bike
riding is like it could not happen, but it could
also happen.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
In singing to do something the other day and I'm like,
I don't disrespect my get up there in age. I'm
like his body and here.

Speaker 19 (49:07):
No knee pads that we like.

Speaker 12 (49:09):
Just dropped a couple of minutes ago.

Speaker 19 (49:11):
Yeah, and this is like probably made to you, but
I was like.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Whoa, my knees hurt washing it?

Speaker 4 (49:15):
So what was the words?

Speaker 2 (49:16):
The worst is.

Speaker 11 (49:18):
I broke my wrist on my nineteenth birthday, Not like
that was terrible for me. It's my first major injury,
and from then it's just like bruises, you know what
I mean, Like my shins all jacked up. I've been
doing this for so long, Like any athlete, you get
to that point where it's like, man, of course you
can experience injury.

Speaker 12 (49:36):
It's part of the game right until your point.

Speaker 11 (49:39):
But also like yes, you like you know to expect
that you're gonna get hit when you're playing football. It's
the same thing, like but you're like you're trying not
to But the same thing with bike rinding, right, like
you're trying to land every single trick.

Speaker 12 (49:50):
You're not trying to hurt yourself.

Speaker 11 (49:52):
Right, And it's a it's a true art form, right,
Like if you don't just go out and just jump
off of something like you work your way up to that. Right,
So if you're trying to go jump down ten stairs,
you're gonna try to first master that, then you go
to four six, so on and so on. And it's
everything is very thoughtful, right, Like it's not just like

(50:12):
I'm wake up today and to try like this thing
I never tried before.

Speaker 12 (50:15):
No, like you.

Speaker 11 (50:16):
Calculated, right, It's all calculated and by for me personally
being as calculated as I am, I have it's like
limited the amount of injuries and of.

Speaker 12 (50:29):
Course like the grace of God. But you still still
because I love it.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
When you wake up in the morning, you can be
like I could take the Ferrari b so do you
still enjoy it? But like now I'm gonnake the bike and.

Speaker 12 (50:42):
I love it. Man, I got the bike in the
back of the wagon right now, you know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 20 (50:48):
You just pull up sometimes and you know, jump down.

Speaker 11 (50:58):
No, I still love it, man. I still enjoy going
to the skate park. I still love being out there
finding spots, challenging myself in that way. Like it's still
my truest form of self expression is being mex riding.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
You know, I was still kicking it with professional be
a mex writer, Nigel Sylvester, What would you tell that
that younger kid right now that that's watching you, that
wants to get into BMX biking.

Speaker 6 (51:20):
His parents probably be like, that's not a real job.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Get a real job. What would you tell that younger
kid right now?

Speaker 12 (51:25):
I would tell her to show your parents my Instagram.

Speaker 11 (51:28):
And showing that it is a real thing. Also, man,
just do what you love, honestly, bro, Like that's I
live by that still, you.

Speaker 12 (51:39):
Know what I mean, Like I'm living out my imagination.
I'm creating.

Speaker 11 (51:43):
I stay curious and I think that allows me to
come up with these ideas and I work super hard
to get these things out into the world. So that
younger kid, man, just do what you love. Just work hard.
I know it sounds cliche, but it's so true. Like
I feel all you got to sit here right now
because that right like you love what you do and
you dedicate yourself to it, even watching you. Used to

(52:04):
watch you on Instagram all the time to see you
up here. Now when you guys announced it, like that's
super dope for you. So congrats to that. So just
just lock in and stay focused.

Speaker 6 (52:12):
Now what the Sneakers the new sneakers that you're releasing.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Yeah, it would come out on the sixteenth.

Speaker 12 (52:17):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Now over sixteen is down, so the fours of Jordan
falls of course sold out. Crazy brick by brick was
was I guess your mentality if you have to do this,
brick by brick, you.

Speaker 12 (52:26):
Have to build this thing brick by brick.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Man explain the new collapse.

Speaker 11 (52:29):
These are the AJ one low better with times and
it's modeled. This is the second eration of my first
aj one. We had to did the same exact you
in the high top and it was a cream colorway.
You see, like the the stress marks here basically tell
the story of how my sneakers get distressed when I'm
out riding with them, so my bike has no breaks
on them.

Speaker 12 (52:49):
It's crazy, so I used my sneakers to stop.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
I literally just noticed that the front of it is
already is like distress, but it looks like a design exactly.

Speaker 11 (52:58):
It decides to each and each shoe is it's hand distressed.
So no two shoes has the same distress mark, so no,
like no one has the same pair in a sense.

Speaker 12 (53:10):
But yeah, it just tells. It just tells the story
of like things.

Speaker 11 (53:12):
Getting better with time, you know, like when you dedicate yourself,
when you stay focused on something, like it gets better
with time, right when like your favorite pair of jeans
or your favorite Ventage T shirt or Advantage car, you
know what I mean, Like those things get better with time.
I really want to tap into that. I feel I'm
at this place in my life right now. I've dedicated
so much time to bike roud and so much energy
to it, and it's only gotten better for me. And

(53:35):
I feel like we all have that thing that has gotten.

Speaker 12 (53:37):
Better with time.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Even about your shoe that you got now the aj
One man, you say how you use your shoe to
stop yourself because you you know, shoes have come a
long way, Like you actually have like a distressed shoe. Yeah,
I used to with my son as for messing up
a head breaks on his bike and he was still

(54:02):
So it's so dope that you're doing that, Like that's
dope because yo, kids, shoes are expensive, especially for y'all boys,
Like when all your feet grow big at a faster
pace and I ain't about to be so I'm gonna
buy some distressed as shoes for my son so he
ain't got.

Speaker 7 (54:17):
The that's actually good.

Speaker 11 (54:19):
It's actually a good thought though, right because like to
not mess you sneaker and now we're something sneakers that
come distressed.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Yes, you should have commercial.

Speaker 12 (54:29):
Shoe.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
The commercial.

Speaker 11 (54:31):
It's also interesting too because the first one we did
that came distressed. It was one of the first shoes
I think it was the first shoe that Jordan Brands
ever done that has come pre distressed. So that also
like set off a wave of a lot of distressed
shoes coming after it.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
How did you partner with m t A. How did
that come about? That's good to me?

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Exact this guy with.

Speaker 7 (54:57):
You're the ambassador for the.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
That's crazy.

Speaker 12 (55:08):
They hit my line. It was like we're trying to
do something.

Speaker 7 (55:10):
I love it.

Speaker 11 (55:10):
No, but no like that. The current campaign that's running
with the m t A. It's meaningful. There are a
lot of kids that are getting hurt because they're subway
serving and it's super dangerous. Right over fourth of July,
we've seen some unfortunate things happen. So when approached me,
so listen, we like we're facing this issue. Would love
to partner with you to combat this issue of like

(55:33):
one hundred percent I believe in it, and we launched
the campaign.

Speaker 12 (55:37):
What two months ago? Ready a month ago? About two
months ago?

Speaker 7 (55:41):
And stay inside, stay alive.

Speaker 11 (55:44):
So no, it's dope and and for me, so I
grew up taking a train from Queens to the city
to go ride like the Brooklyn Banks and meeting with
my friends. So now to have the opportunity to partner
with the m t A on a on a very
positive initiative, Man, it means a lot to me.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
What was the biggest obstacle you face throughout your whole
career with everything that you did ride it? What was
the biggest obstacle, the biggest problem.

Speaker 12 (56:05):
I think I'm still facing that.

Speaker 11 (56:06):
It's just educating people on what BMX is, you know,
and continuing to set the stage for it and like
open the door per se. You know, there's still a
lot of people don't know what it is or don't
respect it in the way that it should be. So again,
it's just educating people on what BMX is and like
showing the world like how powerful the bicycle is. You know,

(56:28):
always say the bicycle is the most accessible motor transportation
in the world. Anywhere you go in the world, you'll
see someone riding the bicycle. You can't go outside without
seeing it. So I think there's so much power to unlock.
And that's what that's the mission I'm on right now.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
And do you consider yourself an athlete? Some people feel
like an athlete is a basketball player, but they haven't
seen something y'all be doing, right, because that's the athletic.

Speaker 11 (56:56):
I mean, listen, like there's so much training that like
like goes into it.

Speaker 12 (56:59):
I was having conversation yesterday I was doing this interview.

Speaker 11 (57:02):
I was like, I like in my younger days, I
didn't consider myself an athlete, like prior to going pro,
but once I went pro. I got also signed to
Gator like shortly after going pro, and they have a
sports science institution in Chicago where like they'll bring athletes
in and like pretty much test like your reaction, you're
stammina all of the things. And I went there and

(57:25):
I spent the whole day there doing these different tests
right like against they had been on a treadmill.

Speaker 12 (57:30):
They have these tubes coming out like whatever.

Speaker 11 (57:34):
And my results was like, man, like your body is
working just as hard as a basketball.

Speaker 12 (57:41):
Player or a football player.

Speaker 11 (57:42):
You're doing like you're on the same level as that
And That's when it hit me. I was like, oh no, yeah,
like I'm legitimate athlete. Yeah, like my like vehicle is different.
I mean, I'm like my body operats in a different way,
but I'm one hundred per athlete first and foremost.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
There you have it, man, make sure you pick up
his sneaker that comes out on the sixteenth and tell
him about go ride again this weekend.

Speaker 11 (58:03):
Listen, Go Ride twenty twenty five is happening this weekend.

Thanks Nigel Sylvester. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 6 (59:15):
Good morning morning everybody.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
It's DJ n V Jess Hilary's Chelamage the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Speaker 7 (59:23):
Lauren becoming a straight fast.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
She gets him from somebody that knows, somebody to detail.

Speaker 19 (59:29):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
She'd be having the latest on you, the law, the
latest with Lauren la Rosa.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.

Speaker 5 (59:40):
It's the latest on.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 19 (59:45):
All right, y'all, So diddy.

Speaker 20 (59:46):
We've been I guess wondering what he was going to
do once released, whenever that happens, and now we have
an answer to it because his attorney Mark Agnefilio sat
down for an interview and talked about Diddy's plans to
return to music.

Speaker 19 (59:56):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 5 (59:58):
What is it that Sean Combs going people to know?

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
He wants people to know that.

Speaker 23 (01:00:02):
I think that he has reflected on the blessings that
he's been given, on the imperfections that I think he
sees in himself. I think he's someone who is always
going to strive to do something, you know, exceptional and
probably demanding and challenging. But I think the most demanding
and challenging thing in front of him right now is

(01:00:24):
to get back with his kids and get back with
his mother and the people who love him and miss him.

Speaker 19 (01:00:29):
So he's talked to you about getting back into music.

Speaker 23 (01:00:31):
If he's not at least, no, No, honestly, he has not.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
One thing he said. He said, he said, well, he's
going to be back.

Speaker 5 (01:00:39):
In Madison Square Guard. He said that he did.

Speaker 23 (01:00:41):
He said to me, he's gonna be back in Madison
Square Guard doing what I guess, being on stage.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
I think that was so dumb for his attorney to
say that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:49):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
It's like he's not home yet, he's not out. He's
he still has to face sentencing.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
The part way he said the part where he said, yeah,
he wants to get out, he wants to be with
his kids, he wants to reflect on his imperfections. That's
that's great. But now all of that is great back
in the garden, like what what what are you talking about?
Like what are you talking like? You should even be
in my opinion, you shouldn't even be doing an interview
until his sentences, Like you don't want anything to reflect

(01:01:17):
this judge or anything because the judge has TV ladies
and gentlemen, like the judge has the only iPhones and
Instagram as well.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Every conversation should be about Every conversation should be about rehabilitation.
Every conversation should be about healing. Every conversation should be about,
you know, reflecting about the things that you did that
were wrong. That's it judging more than nothing less. We
shouldn't be hearing about nothing else. His attorney didn't have
to take that interview. His attorney could have said, no comment,
we're gonna wait to after sentence. And you don't want
and like you said, the judge is not supposed to

(01:01:47):
be influenced by anything out there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
But people are. People are that are not perfect, so
they are, So why give him anything to feel away about.

Speaker 20 (01:01:54):
Well, shout out to Jericha Duncan who was the johnas
that Mark Agnfilio sat down with OVERCP.

Speaker 19 (01:02:00):
Yes Morning's that was my girl and her at court.

Speaker 20 (01:02:02):
She gathered him that did that doing what said everything
that needed.

Speaker 19 (01:02:06):
To be said.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
I'll tell you one thing, top Dog Law would never
top dog law. Top dog Law would know their place.
They would never do that with Mark Agnefilio just did
mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
Crazy.

Speaker 12 (01:02:19):
Well.

Speaker 20 (01:02:19):
Speaking of music being therapy, Offset sat down for an interview.
He you know, is releasing a new project and he
sat down with the Joe Budden Podcast and talked about
music being his therapy and some of the things to
come now. In this interview, of course, he had a
conversation about Cardi B and some of the things that
we've been seeing play out. So they talked about how
he plans to approach to the music that he has

(01:02:40):
coming and whether or not we can expect him to
throw some shots Carti's way, let's take a listen to
that this therapy.

Speaker 24 (01:02:45):
I ain't doing that on the album, like I ain't
the shots my life. I ain't doing that. I mean
I might like speak on like life situations, but like,
I'm not doing that. I told myself that ain't that
ain't a way to do it, Like there's too much
involved with family kids.

Speaker 5 (01:03:04):
Like that'n be laying ten years from now a fact.

Speaker 19 (01:03:08):
Fact agreed answer.

Speaker 7 (01:03:10):
It's definitely right.

Speaker 19 (01:03:11):
Yes.

Speaker 20 (01:03:11):
The question that they had asked him directly was what
can will you? What will we be hearing from you?

Speaker 7 (01:03:17):
Now?

Speaker 20 (01:03:17):
We all I will say though, off Set does take
some time in this interview to big himself up a bit,
and he talks about Outside the record that Cardi B
dropped because obviously Cardi B threw some shots at him
and that song. Now, let's take a listen to Offset
on the Outside record.

Speaker 24 (01:03:33):
I actually know about the song for the song come
out like prior.

Speaker 12 (01:03:38):
To the book happening.

Speaker 24 (01:03:40):
It's just everything be a time and thing like that
rest have been done for like I know about the record.

Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
I know the record.

Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
It's done. It's not like a thing it looked like
how look.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
That made it seem like the record was done before
and it's not actually this record that is just the
record that so done before.

Speaker 19 (01:03:56):
He did get into saying that it's a time and thing.

Speaker 20 (01:03:59):
Yes, that there are things were done before but there's
I feel like things had to be changed because.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Direct Yeah, too many direct shots thrown, like of course
the beat was probably done and she had a whole
other verses or whatever. But she definitely right, she had
all of that.

Speaker 20 (01:04:17):
Yes, now, I will say though, in this conversation as well,
when I was talking about bigging herself up, also talked
about like, just what it's like watching women that leave
him in general, or that he decides to be with whatever,
however that went, how that works for them after let's
take a listen to that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:33):
If someone down up or down? Which one hurts more?

Speaker 24 (01:04:39):
My truth, I ain't never met none that I left
went up, so I don't know how to him with
the jones.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
I think that was the dumbest question that anybody could ask.
Cheating up, I just what the hell does that mean?

Speaker 19 (01:04:55):
That means when you.

Speaker 20 (01:04:56):
Leave a person, you go find somebody that you deemed
better than the person that you left, not someone that
the person that you left could be, Like, oh, you
ain't doing nothing over there, like somebody that's doing better
whatever you deem better as the person you were with.

Speaker 7 (01:05:07):
So how is it cheating or cheat down?

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Like?

Speaker 20 (01:05:10):
I don't I don't understand, and sometimes it's not even cheating.
It's just like when you leave a person, do you
date up or date down? Like do you cheat up
or cheat down? Like it's just I don't know, it's
just goofy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
But it may be a thing, but it's just stupid,
like who is I don't know who asked.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
That and apposed to answer that? Of course nobody. Of
course I don't think nobody better than me, right right?

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
And I would have said I'm him and you too
if I was him, you know what I mean, Like
he picked uphimself as he's supposed to.

Speaker 7 (01:05:39):
But I just I don't know. The question was just
weird to me.

Speaker 5 (01:05:42):
It's stupid.

Speaker 19 (01:05:43):
God, yeah, I mean especially Katoob's admit to the cheatings.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
Yeah, well yeah, I cheat up, you know, cause or
I cheat down, you know, because I don't want my
girl to feel it was like what the what?

Speaker 12 (01:05:56):
Well?

Speaker 20 (01:05:56):
I thought else said handled this interview pretty well. I
thought he had the things that people wanted to know
pretty well. I thought he kept it respectful, and I
thought that he did what y'all said he was, you know,
made himself the biggest as he feels.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
I like how we answered the question about not throwing shots.
His kids are involved, the family is involved. I think
that's dope. That's that's good. I mean because we've seen
him publicly feuding, but he's fell back a lot, you
know what I mean, and he's promoting his music and
the music is fired.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
I think that's the man. And that's what I told him.
Put out a dope record. In that record, he put
out his fire.

Speaker 5 (01:06:27):
He did that record. What is it doing? What his
body's doing right now?

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
We played every morning, but he said the.

Speaker 19 (01:06:36):
Numbers in the interview, and it inspire as well.

Speaker 20 (01:06:38):
He did talk about that interview too, like just putting
J Jid on the record and Cardi j I J
I thought it was J now Cardi b not direct response,
but I do.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
Want to say real quick, real quick, while we're on this,
I still want the label to do more for Offset
in that record, Okay, And I guess we're about to
see like the role. I guess we about to see
the roll out and stuff now because I see him
popping up doing interviews. But you know, yes, I want
more behind Offset because he deserves it because that record
Bodies is dope.

Speaker 10 (01:07:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:07:10):
I saw him do the the like it took over
in Times Square as well, but I do feel like
the song should be bigger it is.

Speaker 7 (01:07:18):
It's a really like it's getting out for something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Yeah, a month and it's getting there.

Speaker 12 (01:07:23):
All right.

And I'm telling you right now, and he's the reason
I don't want to play with you no more. Okay,
I've been told you to stop playing, but here's the reason.
We will discuss, all right, and let's get it. Yet's
record right now.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
This what is featuring It's bodies top of the album.
Let's get that on.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
If you're like to enter the breakfast club, Charlage, some
Donkey to day is just sudden so.

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
I never read the.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
Donkey other day again, Charlama.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
You aren't everything. Charlotte Malade is it is it really?

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
Donkey of Today for Thursday, August seventh, goes to a
former University of Cincinnati Medical Center doctor named Rudell Sunder's.
Let me be the first to tell you that there
is some freaky ass fellas on this planet.

Speaker 5 (01:08:41):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
Now, I have gotten on this radio and all my
podcasts over the years and pretended to be a freak,
especially in my younger days. Okay, when I was getting
my hip hop how It's turn on. But there's a
difference between talk and actions. And that's why you have
to stop playing and pretending because some people on this
planet are really about that freak life. Okay, all right,
that freak life we be playing about. There's some people

(01:09:03):
out here that are really about about it, and envy
it stops today.

Speaker 5 (01:09:07):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
I told you two years ago that I was establishing
a don't play gay bill, but you have not honored that.
But today we need to stop because I'm telling you,
just like there's booty warriors like Flee Johnson on his planet,
there's people like Rudell Sanders. Now, Rudell Sondra's was found
guilty on two counts of practicing medicine without a license.

Speaker 5 (01:09:28):
What type of medicine was this man practicing, well, he
was luring men.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
To his apartment to perform fake ultrasounds on their genitals.

Speaker 5 (01:09:38):
Let's go to WLWT news for the report.

Speaker 25 (01:09:41):
Police the former UC Medical Center doctor convicted on felony
charges of practicing medicine without a license. A judge issuing
his decision on Rudolph Saunders this morning. Investigators say Saunders
lured several men to the bedroom of his Cincinnati apartment
to perform ultrasounds. Investigators also he secretly videotaped most of

(01:10:02):
these encounters. Saunders was a resident at you See Medical Center,
but was not allowed to do ultrasounds outside of the
hospital or do them on his own. Earlier this year,
he was acquitted on misdemeanor charges of voyeurism and sexual imposition.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
Say he was a real doctor, Yes, he was a
medical trainee. I mean this, But clearly this man has
been playing doctor since the aged three. You know, kids
played doctor because they're curious about their bodies, curious about
other people's bodies. Some kids really have a fascination with
medical professional so pretending to be a doctor is a
normal part of childhood development. But this man, Rudell never

(01:10:38):
stopped playing. And I know y'all seeing yourselves. Why would
people go to a man's apartment to get ultrasounds on
their private parts?

Speaker 5 (01:10:45):
I tell you why?

Speaker 7 (01:10:47):
Money m o an e?

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
Why?

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
Okay, cream mula fetti all right. Doctor's visits are expensive,
affordable healthcare as a luxury a lot of people don't have,
and desperate times call for desperate measures, and people like
Rudell were taking advantage of that poor and disenfranchised penis. Now,
what I don't understand is why Rudell was risking at
all like this.

Speaker 5 (01:11:09):
This man was the doctor, he had a real career.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
He could have just taken the proper steps to get
the clinical privileges to practice on his own.

Speaker 5 (01:11:16):
And he could have been peeking at all the pecause
he wanted to.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
Okay, I just don't understand people like Rudell, because if
you want to see a ball headed gigglestick, there is
apps for that.

Speaker 5 (01:11:25):
If you wanted Chuck Dickens.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
To call your own, there is plenty of men available
out here. Okay, Because this is what this was. Rudell
wasn't performing ultrasounds. He was auditioning for a dateline episode.
Rudell is what I call an extra horny human. Okay,
he fiends for Franks and beans, all right. He wants
to be able to lift Thaw's hammer. He wants magic
Mike's magic stack. Now, an African American, that's a doctor

(01:11:52):
with his own practice. That's black excellence. But Rudell didn't
have a clinic. He had a Craigslist ad with delusions
of grades anatomy. And that's black embarrassment. And what bothers
me about all this? It was completely pointless. One didn't
have to do with the other. Okay, Rudell, you already
worked in a hospital, okay, under a training license, so

(01:12:12):
you should have just kept training. Then you wouldn't have
had to pretend to be a licensed doctor. You would
have eventually been one. You spent time and energy on
social media trying to convince victims you needed to complete
training hours when you could have actually been spending time.

Speaker 5 (01:12:27):
And energy actually completing your training hours.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
Okay, you too busy trying to do fake exams when
you could have been doing real ones. But now your
medical training license has been revoked, and all you had
to do was focus and get a boyfriend that likes
to play doctor with you. This isn't complicated. All you
had to do was focus study.

Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Having a medical training license is a stepping stone to
become a fully licensed positioned Okay, but you decided to
skip steps because you want to smoke on a penis
pack so bad. There are no shortcuts than any place
worth going, and if you take short cuts, you get
cut short. This is yet another example. Please give rudell

(01:13:12):
Son this the sweet signs of the Hamiltons.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Oh no, you are the dog, the dog all the day.

Speaker 5 (01:13:33):
And it's harder to become a doctor.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
Huh, you don't play a game.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
No, I already told you the game. I told you what.
I told you what it was, and then listen. And
by the way, I don't even like you saying that
after this, donkey, I just did because I don't know
what type of games you want to play, freaky ass boy,
But listen.

Speaker 5 (01:13:49):
Let me.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
But also, it is harder to become a doctor than
it is to get some penis. Okay, So you already
he already, he was already halfway, you know, pass completing
the hard part.

Speaker 5 (01:14:05):
He was already a medical trainee. You just had to
take a couple more.

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
Steps, you know, to get his actual license, he'd have
been good.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
That's crazy, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:14:17):
I'm not playing with mouth watering.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Ye, I ain't playing with no more.

Speaker 5 (01:14:22):
That's wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
All right, Well, thank you for that donkey of today, sir,
and be hungry.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
That's what's wrong mouth watering After that start, I'm not
messing with your mouth watering booty whole throbbing over there,
over there, you better be careful music?

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Girl.

Speaker 7 (01:15:58):
I wish my book was out right now. Anyway, listen,
you just gotta leave it alone.

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
You have to you well, it's gonna be hard if
you still do all right, Look, let me ask you
a question.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Don't lie to me.

Speaker 7 (01:16:08):
You still having sex with him? You're anonymous? No, we
start having sex like two months ago, so you still
have a sex.

Speaker 16 (01:16:15):
We went together, We were together for seven years.

Speaker 7 (01:16:18):
Okay, so y'all got history. So it's hard for you
to walk away.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Huh, it's hard for you to walk away, even though
you just told me got multiple females.

Speaker 7 (01:16:26):
What about it? What about it? Makes it hard?

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
It can't just be seven years because he don't give
a damn about the seven years.

Speaker 5 (01:16:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (01:16:32):
I think it's like the I honestly don't know. Maybe
I just love him.

Speaker 7 (01:16:36):
He's your comfort zone. He's just safety net. He'll always
come if you call, same with.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Your yeah, yeah, I feel like y'all. So you know,
you feel like you obligated to that. He don't feel
like he got an obligation to you, or he wouldn't
have other women, you know what I mean. But it's
well allowed because you never really left. You know what
I mean, y'all just don't have the title anymore. You
just his baby rabbit that ain't gonna never go away.
You don't want to be there, you know what I mean.
I guess to you, I guarantee you that that's how

(01:17:03):
he looks at you because he knows that you know
that he got multiple women. But if you ain't really
doing nothing about it, and ultimately the only thing to
do about it, to get over it, is to leave
him alone.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
Completely cut him off.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
I'm talking about, don't even be there unless it's about
the child, don't be there to listen to him, don't
don't let him in at all. That's how you protect yourself.
And it ain't he about protecting him. Is he gonna
go and get it somewhere else? But if you make
it convenient enough for him to come in whenever he
wants as he pleased. He's gonna keep doing that. That's
the pattern that you created. It ain't him as you right.

Speaker 16 (01:17:35):
I just gotta cut it off.

Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
I just gotta cut it off. Baby, gotta be strong.
I did it, you can do it, and we all
do it.

First of all, salute to you even wanting to be
in childcare administration, because we all need that. So many women,
so many dads, so many moms, you know, they need
child care for their children so they can work. So
salute to you for even wanting to delve into that field. Now,
are you taking vouchers?

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
Like?

Speaker 7 (01:19:55):
How do you how do they pay you?

Speaker 16 (01:19:58):
They do?

Speaker 18 (01:19:59):
It's just rail of pay right now. So in Georgia,
you have to form me to get like payments from
the state. I have to go through like this whole process.

Speaker 16 (01:20:09):
It takes a long time.

Speaker 27 (01:20:11):
Yeah, So like I applied, but I'm still like in
the property.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Yeah right, so many things, so many things you got
to go through to even get you know, approved, You
got to qualify for this permit, that permit and everything
like that. And my mom has been in child administration
for the past three days.

Speaker 16 (01:20:27):
I know. That's why I was like, let me call.

Speaker 7 (01:20:31):
Yeah, I see.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
I want to say it's a good thing that you're
not taking vouchers because you know, a lot of people
are suffering for that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
You know, my mom being with I've heard that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Yeah, they cut vouchers and you know, everything going on
with the government right now is like they're in a
bad spot.

Speaker 7 (01:20:47):
All of you know, the states. People will get paid
by the state and the city and everything like that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
I think you should go back to work, to be
honest with you, I don't think you should totally give
up on the idea of having your own preschool or
you know, childcare you know, administration, I think you should
or daycare. I think you should go back to work
to fund your business. You know, you can do that
part time since it's slow right now, enrollment is slow.

(01:21:14):
And then a lot not a lot of moms have jobs,
not a lot of dads have jobs. People getting laid off,
like right, losing their jobs, so they really can't afford
child care and they don't need it because they at home,
you know what I mean, looking for all right, they
get their money back up to put their kid in
day care, you know what I mean. So I think
you should totally invest in your job. But I'm in

(01:21:36):
your career. But and how you do that is sometimes
you got to go back to your job to fuel
your career, you get what I mean.

Speaker 27 (01:21:43):
Yeah, I've been thinking, like I probably have to do
something part time, yes, like if I still keep this.

Speaker 18 (01:21:50):
And just you know, grind and do something like.

Speaker 16 (01:21:53):
In the evening time.

Speaker 7 (01:21:54):
But like because I don't.

Speaker 27 (01:21:55):
Want to completely give it up, you know, like it
was a.

Speaker 18 (01:21:58):
Lot of hard work trying to get my and going.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
You know, you don't want to throw it all the way.
Trust me, it is definitely worth it. People ain't going
to ever stop having kids, so there will be a
need for their services for the rest of everybody's life.

Speaker 16 (01:22:11):
Yeah, you're right, You're right.

Speaker 7 (01:22:13):
Yeah, don't well.

Speaker 13 (01:22:14):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 18 (01:22:17):
I'm gonna just figure.

Speaker 16 (01:22:17):
Out a different plans.

Speaker 18 (01:22:19):
I gotta figure something out because this boy still got
to get dated.

Speaker 7 (01:22:22):
Absolutely, you'll be okay.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Just get you a good, good job, you know, go
back to your job if you got to, and then,
like I said, stack your money to invest back into
your preschool or your daycare center.

Speaker 7 (01:22:33):
They'll start coming.

Speaker 11 (01:22:34):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):

Speaker 4 (01:25:06):
The Lad on the Breakfast Club to.

Speaker 20 (01:25:10):
Tiana Taylor announced that she's going to have to take
a step away from her album Rollout the Escape Room.
It's still coming out on August twenty second, but she's
taking a step away because she says that she needs
to get emergency vocal surgery after finding a non cancerous
growth on one of her chords. So she posted to
her Instagram yesterday and she says she's been quietly dealing
with some vocal challenges for a while now, and after

(01:25:33):
a lot of back and forth with her doctors, she's
been told that she needs a surgery immediately. Then she
talks about them finding the non cancer's growth on her cords,
and she says it's been messing with her voice and
causing her real discomfort.

Speaker 19 (01:25:45):
She's thankful that they.

Speaker 20 (01:25:45):
Caught it and that is treatable, but it does mean
that she has to pause and give herself time to
fully heal. So she's going to take a step back
from some things. And she mentions that she was supposed
to do Michelle Obama's podcast and she won't be able
to do that, and it breaks her heart because you know,
she loves to show up for work. And she says
that she's poured so much of herself into this chapter
of her life, especially the Escape Room, which will still

(01:26:06):
be dropping on the twenty second, so it's no worries
about the drop, but you know, she says, it's the
most personal body of work she's ever created. And the
timing of everything right now is not lost on her.
She was just getting ready to finally share all of
this with us, and then life handed her her own
unexpected escape room, one that she didn't ask for. But
she says, now you know, she has to find her
way out with patience, rest and faith.

Speaker 19 (01:26:28):
The moment hurts. She wanted to give us everything.

Speaker 20 (01:26:31):
The full vision, but she says, you know, please know
that I put my whole heart into this music, the film,
the rollout, and when I return it'll be even more fire,
more purpose and the best version of me.

Speaker 7 (01:26:40):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Man, you got to think about it, yo.

Speaker 7 (01:26:44):
She had full movies that she did.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
That girl has been working she had full movies that
just dropping, all of them, didn't even drop yet, while
working on an album, then her performance and then you know,
all this while still battling her own you know, personal
issues right with the divorce and everything, and then you know,
still trying to find a medium, you know what I mean.
Then be there full time mom for her parents, I mean,
full time mom for her, her baby, her babies.

Speaker 7 (01:27:06):
Right, So that's a lot. That's a lot, man.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
She was supposed to come up here as well. So
I know her album comes out the twenty second, so
we will support it and keep pushing it. And although
she won't be able to speak and do interviews, we
will be pushing for you absolutely.

Speaker 5 (01:27:20):
And I tell you one thing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
Every movie I've seen in the last few weeksons I've
been to the movies a lot. I want to go
see Fantastic four, I want to see Superman. I went
to go see The Smurs. That one battle after another
trailer played before damn near all of those films and
one of the movie with Hurrent, Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina yep,
and Sean Penn's right, yeah that comes out of us
September yea yeah. She t t been working, so we
send the TT healing energy always.

Speaker 7 (01:27:44):
And waiting for that bio pick.

Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
You know, she's doing Dion Warick's bio pick, So that's
dope as well. But you can I see like she
been doing press a lot, right, and it is like
when she talks, like she is straining a little bit.
Like I know, her voice has always been raspy, yeah, right,
but sometimes you like you can.

Speaker 7 (01:28:02):
See it more recently that it is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
It does look like it may be a little bit
more painful for her, you know, talk.

Speaker 19 (01:28:08):
She did to your point, I'm thinking of it.

Speaker 20 (01:28:10):
I was watching a complex sit down that she did
recently preparation for her coming here, and I thought maybe
she had just been performing or something the night before,
because her voice was strange. Yeah, but she got through
the interview though, So yeah, I'm glad she's taking the
time for herself, you know, because for extra stress on that, she.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
Usually a couple of months.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
So she has a so so maybe that's part she
won't be crusing you off for the next couple of months.

Speaker 18 (01:28:33):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:28:33):
What's so crazy. What's so crazy is if Tianna Taylor
does that Deon Warwick role, right, like that could be
like a Jamie Fox and Raymond absolutely because because because visually, man,
if you go look at a young Deon Warwick, she
favor like same not same nostrils.

Speaker 1 (01:28:55):
You know, you know what you should do since she
always cus you out and did she get the surgery
cuss out for three months she.

Speaker 2 (01:29:00):
Can so she can't even say nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:29:04):
You should do that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
Her chest man just called up and just get it off.

Speaker 6 (01:29:12):
The type to learn song language.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
Because back.

Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
Toiana, the type of FaceTime you and just me and
muggy face say that.

Speaker 7 (01:29:26):
That's right.

Speaker 13 (01:29:27):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:29:28):

that because it's the first thing that she's kind of
said that may be a response to curses in the fight,
but we still don't have really a real update on that.
