New York won last night. Yes, welcome to the Empire
status the Breakfast Club, going to jay z Felicia kids
Erstuf morning. Everybody, It's j Envy, just Loaryan Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
page news. Now last thingk some quick sports. The Knicks

(04:44):
beat the Hawks, destroyed the harks Man and many times
if your Cowboys ever won the Hawks nine the Timber
Nugget one ten ninety eight, and last night seventy six
tied the series. They beat the Celtics one, six ninety three.
What's up, Mimi?

Speaker 10 (05:06):
Good morning, mv Jess Charlamagne, how y'all doing this morning?
Good morning, So we start this morning with a major
development out of Washington. The longest shutdown of a federal
department in US history is now over. Donald Trump has
signed a bill to fund most of the Apartment of
Homeland Security, ending a seventy six day shutdown that left

(05:27):
agencies like TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard stretched very thinned. Then,
so those agencies they will now be funded through the
end of September. This comes after growing pressure on House leaders,
as officials warned that money was about to run out
for those paychecks, that those DH workers they were not
about to get paid again.

Speaker 11 (05:48):
Here is House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Speaker 12 (05:50):
This will relieve pressure from the Department of Homeland Security
Secretuary Mullen. If I've spoken to in the last couple
of hours, we greatly relieve the President will, the administration will.
We were not gonna have long. Everybody who get their paychecks. Now,
we'll get moving forward and then we will finish the
work and finally get again for three years with no
crazy Democrat reforms. We will fund border patrol and immigration

(06:11):
enforcement as soon as we return for the work session
when that bill is final.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Well, I'm happy for all the federal workers who are
finally going to be getting paid and at least they
know they don't have to worry about this until until
the fall at least. But sadly, we'll probably be right
back here at the end of September.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
I'm sure we will be.

Speaker 11 (06:28):
Yes for sure.

Speaker 10 (06:29):
And you notice how border patrol and ice. They're working
on a bible to fund that for three more years,
but that was not included in this funding bill that
just passed lawmakers. They're going on another two week break
starting today, and when they return they say that they
will tackle that border control and ice funding without Democratic support.

(06:51):
So we will continue to watch that.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
All I care about it the people getting a paychecks, man,
that's all I'm happy for him.

Speaker 10 (06:56):
Yeah, very very important and a major shakeup in we
Siana's elections. The governor has now passed the state's House races.
Excuse me, has now pushed the states the House races
just days before voting was set to take place. So
Republican Governor Jeff Landry he made that call after the
US Supreme Court they ruled that the state's current congressional

(07:17):
maps are unconstitutional. So that map included a two majority
black districts, and the court says race may have been
used too heavily in drawing those lines, so absentee ballot.
Absentee voting had actually already started in Louisiana. Early voting
was supposed to begin this weekend, but now house races

(07:39):
are on hold, with primaries pushed back to July while
lawmakers work to redraw those maps. Shreveport Congressman Cleio Fields
is calling this a grave step back.

Speaker 13 (07:50):
Let's listen.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
People have a right to participate in their democracy. If
you tell me that I gotta be I gotta y'ap
a certain height, I could probably do that. Tell me
I got to run a certain district, I could distance.
I could probably do that too. But if you tell
me I have to be white.

Speaker 14 (08:10):
To serve in Congress from Louisiana. I can't do nothing
about that. I had some help from my government, and
that's why we need to pass as soon as possible.
The John Lewis voting rightside. Uh, this is about democracy
for the country, but precisely for southern states in our country.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Uh, they need to help help the voting rights side.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
I love a black woman. Did y'all hear that that part?
And she was co siding the head living leader.

Speaker 11 (08:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (08:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (08:45):
So other races on the ballot, including the Senate and
state white offices.

Speaker 11 (08:48):
Those will still move forward.

Speaker 10 (08:50):
The move is already facing legal challenges, though, with some
Democrats arguing that stopping the election now could confuse voters
and undermine the process and really quickly. The man who
was accused of trying to assassinate President Trump, he was
back in court.

Speaker 11 (09:06):
He will remain behind bars.

Speaker 10 (09:08):
Prosecutors say thirty one year old Cole Allen spent hours
tracking the President's movements online before he showed up at
that White House correspondent's dinner. They say that he had
multiple weapons. We talked about this, the gun, the pistol,
and the knives, and he had been planning the attack
for weeks, even sending messages to his family before it happened. Now,
Alan did not challenge his detention, so for now he

(09:31):
will stay in custody. His next hearing is set for
May eleven.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, I saw another video.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Maybe I trippers about to say the same one guy.
He ain't fight, no shot he did, he did. He
ran through with the rifle though he had the rifle
in his hand when he ran through that metal de
offices just looked at him at first.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
But I don't understand how he got up that situation alive,
Like you run in a situation like that with the
with the rifle and the Secret Service only end up
shooting each other. Like that's that's nuts to me.

Speaker 10 (09:58):
Yes, me too, But all right, thank you, mimmy absolutely
coming up at eleven, excuse me. At seven, some airflines
are cracking down on a device that many of us
bring on each flight. We're gonna tell you what it is,
and if you packed it this morning, you may want

the show. Was this This was more about me putting
a stamp on, like the job that you've done. You know,
the relationships that you have in the business are outstanding,
but you demand a high level of star power because
of who and what you are.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
keV is an amazing person. I love Kevin, but he's
a great BS. keV was talking like her show was
it being canceled? keV, you came to a little too late.
It became a couple of seasons earlier, numbers higher, and
she just stayed on the air. We love sharing though,

(19:29):
but I'm just saying he was talking like, I know
where you are with the show, and.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
Don't do.

Speaker 22 (19:36):
That s what they're rated for, Sharry And yeah, Kevin
be busy, so he popped out. Now we appreciate the
she did anyway. But also she had another surprise guest.
And you guys heard in the beginning how like there's
like the voice is kind of like hitting. It's because
she's literally having a guest on air. Who the people
are for the people who are listening.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
To have seen it.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I watched Harry.

Speaker 8 (20:00):
That's okay.

Speaker 22 (20:01):
So she had another surprise guests come. They called her
to the station to say their goodbye to Sherry on air.
Let's say, listen to Gail King.

Speaker 24 (20:09):

like now it's more valuable and more impactful than ever
because I know where you.

Speaker 1 (21:52):

Speaker 26 (21:53):
The last this was more about me putting a stamp on,
like the job that you've done. You know, the relatelationships
that you have in the business are outstanding, but you
demand a high level of star power because.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Of who and what you are. That star power should
have been there years.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Are they right?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
We wouldn't be having this conversation if it was there earlier.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Gale, you know, sorry, this is your last show.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
They wouldn't have to say if the last show up
the star power had been showing up earlier for Sherry.

Speaker 22 (22:22):

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I guess they used to be Windy, now it's Cherry.

Speaker 13 (22:44):

Speaker 5 (26:39):
So congratulations to the New York Knicks. What's up to me?

Speaker 11 (26:42):
Good morning, y'all. How you doing this morning? Good morning.

Speaker 10 (26:47):
So we started this hour with the story out of
New York City, where one arrest has put a growing
crime back in the spotlight.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
It's called deep theft.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
It's when someone steals the title to your home without
you knowing.

Speaker 11 (26:58):
So the issue is now front and center.

Speaker 10 (27:00):
After a Brooklyn council member was arrested last week defending
a long time a black homeowner facing eviction, so that
case is now drawing attention to a much larger issue.
Scammers targeting homes, often in black neighborhoods, using tactics like
forged signatures, fake paperwork, or pressuring family members with partial
ownership to force a sell. In some cases, homes that

(27:23):
have been in the family for generations are taken and
resold for a profit. Now official say there have been
thousands of complaints over the past decades, with one hundreds
more reported just last year, and mayors around Mondamie he
is now creating a new Mayor's Office of Deed Theft
Protection to crack down on the fraud.

Speaker 23 (27:42):
Let's listen, city government is too often stood idly by
while deeed theft occurs. Every New Yorker should be able
to lead a dignified life in the home that they
grew up and in the city that they love.

Speaker 11 (27:53):
Yeah, have you guys heard about this?

Speaker 1 (27:54):
No?

Speaker 5 (27:55):
No, this was the first time I ever hearing about it.
That's why I own theft. The congressman. The count then
got arrested about a week ago. But yeah, it happens
a lot and it's definitely in New York. And it
usually happens when a lot of older people own the homes.
They don't know what they're signing, or the deed is stolen.
That actually happened to my grandfather's house. My grandfather owned
a town, a big brownstone in Brooklyn, and when he passed,

(28:16):
he didn't leave it to anybody, right, and it was
on It was every it was a part of everybody.
So it's like my mom had a part, my mom's
sister had a part. Yeah, so it was and then
they were able to actually take it. It didn't make
sense for fighting. Most people don't fight because they don't
actually live in that house. And the house has passed
down and we didn't fight for it, so somebody actually
took it. But yeah, it happens a lot in New

(28:37):
York City. And I'm glad people are hearing more and
more and more about it because people are losing their
houses and we all know that's where a lot of
generational wealth has started, from people passing down the homes
from generations to generations to generations.

Speaker 11 (28:48):
Absolutely, that's it in a nutshell.

Speaker 10 (28:51):
And they said that seniors in Brooklyn and in Queens,
they have been hit especially hard by this deep depth problem. Peter,
he's an attorney with the Access Justice Brooklyn. He will
be overseeing it for the Mayor's office. Let's listen to
a little bit of what he said.

Speaker 28 (29:08):
Any potential scammers see these people as being the most
vulnerable population in New York City, and we're going to
try to help correct that.

Speaker 10 (29:14):
Yeah, and so the city they are putting real money
behind it, about ten million two fun investigations, legal help
for homeowners, and to crack down on fraudulent property filings,
targeting scams that often hit those seniors and just you know,
under served communities, people who don't know anything other than
you know what someone shows up at their door and

(29:35):
tells them and then ends up taking their property.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
And it's amazing how much people don't care about karma.
Man like folks just really really live with the moment,
like they really have like such a short term way
of thinking, because that energy definitely comes back to you. You
taking advantage of old people like that, and.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
It's usually white, older businessmen, and they usually get it
for nothing, close to nothing, or they usually just pay
off the water bill or electric bill to get in
and now you know a lot of those properties that
work well, of them millions and millions of dollars. So yeah,
it's they do it a lot. They start off with
phone calls. It's a whole process and a whole thing.

Speaker 10 (30:06):
It's a whole scheme that they've been doing for years,
and so yes, I shout out to the mayor for
doing something about that. And starting today, if you're flying
American airlines, there is a new rule that you need
to know about.

Speaker 11 (30:18):
Portable chargers.

Speaker 10 (30:19):
Those power banks that you use for your phone are
now restricted. Passengers can bring no more than two and
they can't be packed in those overhead binds anymore, so
instead they have to be cut with you visible during
the flight.

Speaker 11 (30:32):
There's also a size limit. Chargers must be under.

Speaker 10 (30:34):
One hundred watts, which covers most of our standard phone chargers.
But they could impact those larger portable chargers that people have.
I know I have like two of them and I
travel with them often. But airlines say those lithium batteries
can overheat catch fire, and so now keeping them within
reach helps crews respond quickly if there was something. So

(30:55):
if you're flying today, check your bag because something as
small as a portable charger could now hold you up
out of the.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Earth, And that's crazy. I didn't even I didn't even
think about that.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
Everybody has those portable charges, you know, But that's what
they actually when you check your bag, is there any
lithium batteries or something else?

Speaker 2 (31:09):
They ask you? Don't you know that they asked you
that before you check a bag.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
So yeah, so now they know and two together, I'm like, oh,
that's why, because they can catch fire or whatever.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
But if it's in your check luggage, how would they know? Right,
they don't go through your luggage, especially when you're getting
on the plane, you know, if it's connected to your
actual role, they look and say open you open the
case to make sure that battery is not there. But like,
how would they know they're not going people's bags or
owning your.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Backpack because they've just taken your word for it at
this point.

Speaker 10 (31:34):
Yeah, yeah, it definitely sounds like the honor system here.
But I know, like with me, if I travel with
a lot of equipment, I'm packing all of those things,
you know, so.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
And honestly, I sometimes like i'd be lying because I
say no, because if I say yeah, I think they're
going send me home or something.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I mean, the reality is when they say that, I
don't even know what the hell they're you talking about?
You have any lithium batteries? Battery? I don't think I
have a lithium bat Okay, as far as to my knowledge,
I don't. Okay, do y'all know what a lithium? Y'all
know what lithium know.

Speaker 6 (32:06):
So that's why I'm glad she is giving us this
story because I didn't know that that's what a lithium battery.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Was even aligned to these people. All this done, Yeah,
and I ain't know.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm always I always got them. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (32:15):
No, I think a lot of people feel like that.

Speaker 10 (32:17):
I think they just were just trained to be like, nope,
I don't have it, yeah, instead of saying what is
a lithium battery?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
So then they ask you, do you have anything flammable?
I'm like, no, yeah, but we probably do.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yep.

Speaker 11 (32:30):
Now you know, so there you have it.

Speaker 10 (32:32):
If you do have it, either don't bring it or
I think it has to be under a certain size,
so you might want to just look it up before
you travel.

Speaker 11 (32:39):
Nowadays, thank you me and and yep.

Speaker 10 (32:41):
And speaking of airports, if you're traveling through Hartsfield Jackson
Atlanta International Airport, there's something new to check out. So
a concept store called the Village Retail has just opened
a new location. Can in concourse be It's featuring products
from black owned brands. You'll find everything from beauty and
wellness to lifestyle and art curated for travelers passing through.

(33:02):
So the move brings these businesses into one of the
busiest airports in the world, putting them in front of
millions of people every year. Here's Mayor Andre Dickens at
the grand opening.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
We don't do these.

Speaker 9 (33:13):
Got A grand opening is often at Heartsfield Jackson Atlanta
International Airport. I think about Maynor Jackson, first black mayor
of the city of Atlanta, and he had a visions.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
We stand in the presence of their vision.

Speaker 9 (33:25):
I believe that Maynor Jackson would be smiling right now
at three local minority owned businesses getting their shot at
the big leagues.

Speaker 15 (33:36):
Here at the world's busiest and moved through Visit airport.

Speaker 1 (33:40):

vision coming to life. Lakeisha helmet. This is her Village
Retail in the Atlanta so Concourse. B.

I have no idea.

Speaker 10 (34:01):
Yeah, but if you are in Atlanta Concourse being the
Village retail is now open and it is highlighting black
owned businesses, which is very important.

Speaker 11 (34:12):
We have support in order to keep them. In the airport.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I love Atlanta Airport man. One of my favorite things
to do is get the Atlanta Airport early because they

We Parent? It's available everywhere you buy books now, and

(36:12):
it talks about how they got to a healthy place
of co parenting with each other. And I haven't even
talked Throm. I ain't reach out to Rome. I wanted
to talk to wrong, face to face wrong. What did
you think of the book? Your first feeling?

Speaker 28 (36:25):
First, honest, honest, honest, first, Fiel, you read the book
first chapter.

Speaker 8 (36:30):
I feel like some things wasn't explained the correct way.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
We're not supposed to let her in. Let her in,
you're supposed to keep her out for a little bit. Okay,
let Rome has the floor. You can sit down, Jess,
unless you want to leave. You can also leave. Okay, Yes,
we just asked the first question. All right, it's too late,

(36:55):
you got none. Now you think of the book Death
We Parents? You said first chapter, you said it.

Speaker 28 (37:01):
Was cap honestly, not even cap. I just think after
women read it, they're gonna hate me. And why, because
of course, you know, men can't go through that but
when women are going through like postpartum, those stages and
stuff like that. If you read this the first chapter,
it's going to be like I was a dog, Like
I did everything doing those times when I did it, so.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
You weren't a dog.

Speaker 28 (37:24):
No, I feel like she fabricated it far as putting
it too early. It was late. It was later than that.
I didn't do any of that doing postpartum. But it
was a dope book, interesting, very transparent to see that
we've grown so much and to share other to share
with other people on you know that cop Pernson is

(37:46):
not a bad thing. I think that's that's the biggest
part in the goal that we always talked about when
that was for years, even when we started co parents
and therapy back in it was COVID.

Speaker 8 (37:56):
So I want to say, like twenty twenty one when
it was shut down.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
The book. See, that's what I got from the book.
That's why I said, I don't think people will hate
you if they read past the first chapter. You know
what I mean, because you do get to the growth
and evolutionary of both of y'all. You know what I mean,
not just not just you, both of y'all.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Yeah, and but you got some people who ain't.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Gonna reads all right, right.

Speaker 28 (38:18):
They're gonna they're gonna pinpoint and take out parts, and
they're gonna run with a certain narratives. See the caps
in highlight the same way they do clips on Instagram
or TikTok, whatever the case may be. They hate you
off of a clip and didn't even let you elaborate
or explain yourself.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
You have to hurt your feelings the most and don't
lie because I know you read it more than one time.

Speaker 8 (38:35):
What chap was it?

Speaker 28 (38:36):
None of it really hurt me because I'm I'm I
own know to what I do. I ain't never been
ashamed of anything, and tell you why, because I always
had a choice. I decided to make those choices. But
what was hot woman to me was that she's able
to talk about it now because a lot of times
she would never open up about it, and just to
share that light on how much I've grown as a

(38:56):
man and as a father. I just was, you know,
I was not, I was really yeah, I was. I
was just excited, man, I really was excited.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
You could tell she has a lot of love for
you regardless always.

Speaker 28 (39:08):
Yeah, I'm just excited because if anybody who really know me,
truly and genuely know me, that's my dog.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
How did you feel when you know she recently experts
came out of the book and she talked about not
necessarily wanting your first child, but wanted to keep you
more than anything, so to make you happy, she was
willing to do anything for you. How did that make
you feel?

Speaker 8 (39:30):
As a father of five?

Speaker 28 (39:32):
Now, I understand and I say that because even when
I go back to her and I'd be like, if
you're gonna leave me alone, don't go get another me.
It's one of those things where okay, well, if you
having a child, make sure that you know that this
is going.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
To be a family.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
And I never wanted a lot of kids.

Speaker 28 (39:47):
I always wanted a family, But you know, I was emotional,
I would say, dumb, not thinking vulnerable in those moments
even as a kid.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
But I think, I don't know, I think it just
shaped her to be the wife that she is.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Now.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
Do you look back at it and say I messed
this family up? Because she talks about she thought that
y'all had a perfect family. Y'all were taking pictures and
y'all were doing things as a family, and a couple.
Then all of a sudden, she got a comment that says, Rome,
go here with you, but he play a house in
this other house, and matter of fact, he got a
baby coming. Did you ever look back at and be like, damn,
I f that up.

Speaker 28 (40:20):
I look back sometimes and say I wish I'd have
did things different. I ain't never gonna say I wish
I ft it up, because who knows. If I wouldn't
have deal what I did, then we still would have
been together, because it goes both ways, and a lot
of things that I've done it was out of reaction.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
You know.

Speaker 28 (40:38):
It's three sides of every story, their side, your side,
and the truth me. I just wasn't that heartless to
just go out and do these things I didn't even
have access to. So that's why we're gonna dive. We're
gonna dive deeper into those things. But I wouldn't say
I would say I just wish how to did things different,
just to give myself, just to give us a chance,
because I never even gave us a can't.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
That's a great question and just a great framing of it,
Like if there were no kid involved, right, if there
was no action, would y'all still choose each other.

Speaker 28 (41:10):
You think at that moment, no, because action was the good.
Action was the one that kept it around. And me,
I'm low tolerance. And Jessica speaks on that, She'll speak
again on it. We spoke on that on the podcast.
When women don't do and it might sound controlling, it
might sound like I'm a narcissismic, you know, at that moment,
not now, because I'm a change man.

Speaker 8 (41:31):
You know, at that moment, it may sound like I'm
being controlling.

Speaker 28 (41:38):
But I felt like at the time, younger days, if
women wasn't in my if they want in compliance, I
want no benefit to me.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
So just just walk back in the room. I want
to want to expound on the question. I just asked you,
what was it about just that would make you not
want to view with her if there was no action,
because he said he wouldn't be with you if there
wasn't ask.

Speaker 28 (41:58):
That at that moment. At that like I said, I'm
gonna repeat it, at that moment, we were children, so it
wasn't really it wasn't really nothing to be with our own,
especially after all the things I did. And I say
that to say that at that time of course, you
know a lot of men live with women for conveniency
and stuff like that.

Speaker 8 (42:14):
I didn't need any of that. I'm living at home
with step mom.

Speaker 28 (42:17):
So if it's no child, we went our separate ways
because it was easy to go separate ways with no tie.

Speaker 8 (42:23):
It's easy to go separate ways when you're not married, right,
marriage and children is to tie on.

Speaker 28 (42:30):
Okay, let's see, because you don't really want to start over,
like it's hard starting over and not even hard, it's
just too much timing. You gotta religne a person and
then you don't even know if that person gonna be
the person for.

Speaker 8 (42:41):
You, so it takes time.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
Now, you said it was reactional, the fact that you
know you cheated. Was it reactional because you didn't want
to be in a family at the time, or you
didn't want to be tied down? Or what's hard?

Speaker 1 (42:53):
This was?

Speaker 5 (42:53):
You know what was reactional?

Speaker 15 (42:55):
No?

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Just yeah, okay, now let's get to it, oh, Charla,
just just just just the things and it's something.

Speaker 28 (43:02):
It's some things I said I would never speak on.
I'm taking that to the grade with me because yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
That's why you believe that it might not be yours
At one point.

Speaker 8 (43:11):
No, I never I never believe that I've seen him.
He was mind through the sonogram.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
At that moment. At the moment, I never really.

Speaker 8 (43:21):
Even believed that it was More so I was upset
because of the heat of the moment.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
But oh, you just said that, Okay, okay, she said emotional. Yeah,
I told him that might not be his.

Speaker 28 (43:33):
But she and she, but she and I read that
four or five times again on the train to day
that particular party.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
How did you feelhen she said that to you?

Speaker 8 (43:43):
Of course, you know, I man, you hurt the moment
you in mind. You you shan't in.

Speaker 28 (43:47):
My face, so I think it'll beIN different and she
was in my face, But I did. I never thought
ash was wasn't mine. I just think she, of all
people at that moment, even now, know how to get
under my skin things that really bothered me, my children
and my mom. It ain't really nothing else you can
really say to me that would really move me.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Why didn't you fight for the relationship after you know?
Jess was like, it's over. You know, you had another
baby on the way.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
Let's clear that up. Okay, it was over before I
had a baby on the way.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Jessica, that I know, Ron, I.

Speaker 6 (44:19):
Just was trying to like be with you and give
my family like because that's what I wanted Ultimately. I
wanted that family dynamic. I wanted to grow up. I
wanted to ask to grow up in the house with
me and you together, you know. And yeah it was over.
I had mentally checked out. You was like moved like
you had moved on and everything, but like you were

(44:39):
still selfish because I couldn't be with nobody.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
You didn't want me, but I couldn't be with nobody else.

Speaker 28 (44:44):
No, we cleaned it up because in the book it
makes it seem like I had a baby on you.

Speaker 6 (44:49):
Well you were dealing with it's three number two and
it's fourteen, okay is eleven?

Speaker 8 (44:56):
Yeah when did we split?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
He was like about two? Yeah, we split one. We
split once and yeah yeah yeah, but I took you back.
I got back with you.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
Remember when I met Yo correct, you know, I can't
say his real name, but yeah, when I met.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
A man you, why didn't you say, you know what,
I'm gonna cut the bs out and I'm a fight
for my friend music.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Oh oh yeah, that's yeah thing he said.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
And you can you can curse and say it.

Speaker 28 (45:26):
One thing he said was I didn't do a thousand
and one things once the girl, that one person.

Speaker 8 (45:33):
We can't take it.

Speaker 28 (45:35):
So at that moment, and then even at that time,
like you know, still it's pear of pressure people around you.
Oh and then at that time I really cared about
what my friends thought. So it was bac and then
it was like a manhood and you know, like my
father ain't really say too much negative, but you know,
he said the things he said. But you know, I

(45:55):
think I was more so heartbroken because of you know,
certain things that she did do.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
Rome overthinks, like he creates these scenarios in his mind,
and he overthinks and he thinks himself out of the relationship.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
He's not wrong for that, even though we should.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
He's not right.

Speaker 28 (46:11):
But when I'm right, I'm right. When I'm wrong, I
could have been right. But when I'm right, I was wrong,
but I wasn't wrong.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Okay, Okay, yeah, but no, you know you you did
some things to me too.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Yeah I believe. Okay, let's all right, that's fine. And
I think you did a.

Speaker 28 (46:29):
Lot of things in men pulled up on Josica a
couple of times in her neighborhood. And then that's one
thing too. I don't like you ignore my phone calls.
Control don't ignore my phone calls, and then don't hang
up on me when I'm trying to explain because you're
not let me get my point across, because then that
means you don't care about how I feel.

Speaker 8 (46:50):
And that's one thing about the society. Nobody cares about
how men actually feel. And then when men try.

Speaker 28 (46:56):
To open up, and I looked at it's on the
same track that Michael Beasley and Shannon Shock. I felt
a lot of things Michaelbezi said when a man tried
to open up, y'all laugh at me until it's too late.

Speaker 8 (47:12):
I'm just glad he.

Speaker 28 (47:12):
Was able to get the help he needed to be
able to tell his story. But it's a lot of
other men who are shamed to do it. But this book,
and that ties everything to this book. This book is
a great book because his father's out there. It's hopeless
because you got a lot of types of dead beats.

Speaker 8 (47:29):
You got did beats.

Speaker 28 (47:30):
Who they don't do something to baby mother, say that
did beat? Yeah, dibbies who just actually don't give up.
You got dibbies who said oh, don't get the don't
don't have that child, and then you still have the child.
It's so many different ones for the men who actually
want to be in their kids life. I just don't
understand why women don't want to allow that.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
I didn't stay there for a saon because I asked,
I said, room, if you had a title for your book,
what would be called? You had a very interesting title.
The second one.

Speaker 28 (47:57):
I got to tell you something with the second one,
I would be a father, not when it's convenient for you.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
That's that's not when it's convenient for you, is what
got me. Do you feel like she only wanted you
to be a father when it was convenient for her? No?

Speaker 8 (48:10):
Okay, not no.

Speaker 28 (48:11):
Not with her, I got a lot of of course
you knew I got a line. But no, with me
and Jessica, it was never about you understand me and
this would before this to be. That's why it's most genuine,
because she didn't keep a child because of a status
or some some money or whatever the case be. We
just was honestly thought we was in love. And then
when I grew up, I didn't grow up on spending
blocks and type that type of music. I grew up

(48:32):
on Bow Wow and Go Roam Me Yo and and Sammy,
so like it was, it was love music and you
just I always just wanted those fairy tales. Like my
favorite show growing up was Sweet Life in Zach and
Cody because of the family dynamic.

Speaker 8 (48:46):
So it's like for a young man or want that,
and then you see my life didn't get that. That's
one of the things I'd be like, damn.

Speaker 5 (48:54):
I don't say I fed up, but I'd be like, well, wow,
why I couldn't get what you want?

Speaker 28 (48:59):
Those called And I used to always a lot of
my friends. I used to be jealous of my friends
growing up. They had their mom and dad and I didn't.
And I told him, bro, like I don't like you.
I love you, but I don't like you. Not my
friends because they had they had what I wanted. And
then I just used to see how they just never
appreciated they mom was.

Speaker 5 (49:18):
A co parent the way that your co parent now
was that always there or that had to get there,
Like at first was just not letting you see your son,
or you didn't want to see your because how did
it originally start?

Speaker 8 (49:29):
So it was always col parenting.

Speaker 28 (49:30):
It's just I was col parting with my mother, with
my mother, Yeah, with Mama Riving.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Just didn't want to see you because Jess was Ess.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
I didn't want to see you.

Speaker 28 (49:39):
Why did she had to see me because she was
living at the daycare, so she was going to see me.
But it's never been a point where I couldn't see
my son or he's keeping away from me because she
she has that family dynamic.

Speaker 8 (49:53):
Who this ain't that?

Speaker 5 (49:54):
And why just why didn't you? Because most people would
have been like, he did me dirty, he cheated on me,
he did all these things. I'm gonna use my son
to hurt him. A lot of people do that. We
see that a lot of relationships. Why wasn't your mind
for that? Has heard as you are?

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Could I just yeah, I just couldn't do it.

Speaker 6 (50:10):
I gave Rome a lot of grace because you know
I was doing my issue too, But you know it's
not about who, well, actually it.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
Was, it was about who started it. But whatever.

Speaker 6 (50:20):
But once we started going back and forth trying to
hurt each other and trying to make each other feel
the pain that each one of us felt, I got
I got tired of that, and once I wanted to
sit down with Rome and just put everything on the table, like, yo,
are you you that's admit everything things that I did
that I was lying to him about.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
He admitted things to me.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
Well, he explained things to me, because that's the thing
Rome never really told me. Every day I will find
out and I'm going I'm coming to him like, yo,
this is what happened, you know. Ai Ai was not
It wasn't even that our favorite tips back then. So no,
but I was able to give him a lot of grace.
And then also like Kitch trauma, he went through a
lot when he was younger, and I realized him like, yo,

(51:03):
I'm a lot more mature to see that. And and
my mother always instilled that in me. Give a person grace.
Everybody comes from different walks of life. You don't know
what he's gone through, and it's hard to operate in
this world without a mother, you know, and then with
an absent father, you know, father who you see but
he not really there is no really is no real bond.

(51:24):
So I felt the need to be more of a
friend and a confidante, you know, because I think I
was like the only one that you can open up
to about a lot of things. That happening in childhood.
A lot of things that you know you didn't that
you that you didn't get as a.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Kid after your mom's passing.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
So I think that's what it was. She said, because
you talk about being vulnerable, did she ever use it?

Speaker 8 (51:46):
Oh, that's what I was going to say next.

Speaker 28 (51:48):
But the big umbrella of everything she's saying, my mother,
because she wouldn't allow it. You have women, you have men,
You have human beings itself who when don't go their way,
they got enablers around them telling them that that's right,
that's right.

Speaker 8 (52:08):
When her mother, I loved her mother so much. In
mind me, her mother.

Speaker 28 (52:11):
Used to go through hell hard water because I was
always rebellious. And then as I got a certain age,
I'm already defensive because of what my dad did. So
you can't tell me, but I had to take myself
step back. She's not trying to hurt you. Wrong, and yeah,
she she just you wrong, wrong, You're wrong. So it
wasn't no, Oh that's my daughter. I'm gonna take her

(52:32):
side right because it was. It was honestly, like I
think because the copytinge itself it got it was. It
wasn't bad, but it got great after a while. It
didn't just happened overnight. It really started happening when I
took my feelings out of it, like I stayed in
the past, like when that, when that that narrative, Oh,

(52:53):
I don't want this around my kid.

Speaker 8 (52:55):
I don't want this, I don't want that. I allowed
it to happen, though, because.

Speaker 28 (52:59):
When I decided to hurt that woman or not want
to be with that woman, that opens up the doorter
she can have whoever she want to have around that child.
So the logical part that I went with was okay,
the longest, ain't trying to hurt my kid. I'm okay,
and I respect my child mom enough and I trust
them enough and even now all of them to not
allow that to happen.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
I want, I want to ask you something wrong because
you said what you wanted growing up with the two
parent household. Yeah, And a lot of people would say,
how can somebody with that mindset end up with five
baby mothers? Because it's impossible to give those kids what
you wanted? Correct, So why would you create the same
type of So let me let me elaborate and piggyback.

Speaker 28 (53:39):
So I never really that two print household now is near.
I never really cared for a two print household. I
just wanted my mother go you so mind you. I
was fine with going with my dad on the weekends,
going back to my mother until that last weekend and get.

Speaker 8 (53:57):
To go back to my mom.

Speaker 28 (53:58):
So the two print household dynamic come from, like I said,
shows and stuff like that, and reality and the stigma
that society put on you always supposed to be like
this when two point household produced some of the most.

Speaker 8 (54:11):
Stuppist people in the world.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
But you are not a person high emotional intelligence. So
clearly I know you wanted to be better than your Yeah.

Speaker 8 (54:19):
Correct, And like I.

Speaker 28 (54:20):
Said, I may, I mean I may. I made decisions.
A lot of decisions I made was out of vulnerability.
A lot of decisions I made was out of hurt.

Speaker 8 (54:28):
You know. And I'm not ashamed to stay that people
that oh, oh whatever, that's me.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
Can I ask you and you just tell me if
you agree that. I feel like you were looking for
maybe your mom and these women. And that's why, you know,
because you had lost at a very young age, and
that nurturing and that you know, all that nurturing and
affection stopped at a very early age, and you went
from that household that's all you knew, love and positivity

(54:57):
and just you know all of that too.

Speaker 5 (54:59):
A very different a household.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
You know, it wasn't much affection, it wasn't nurturing.

Speaker 6 (55:03):
And I feel like that actually shaped how you look
one of my relationships.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Yeah, like it affected your love life in a way.
Do you agree with that?

Speaker 8 (55:12):
We're going to be very transparent.

Speaker 28 (55:15):
I never looked in my I never looked for women,
and I never looked for my mother and women. I
did look for the love and affection, right, Why I
never looked in I never looked for my mother and
women because I'm put on tape. My mother wasn't a saint.
My mother did like you know, like, but who she
was to you, who she was to me was she

(55:37):
was great. But it was like once she left, it
was just that that affection that loved, that holding a person.
Because I used to hold my mother every night, she
put me out every night I used to hold her.
It really didn't affect me until I got older and
started dealing with women. Because why I'm going through school,
I'm always busy.

Speaker 8 (55:55):
Maybe that's why it didn't affect me.

Speaker 28 (55:56):
I'm grades baseball basketball. I really had no downtime to
really think about it. I know my mom and at
the like probably like thirteen, I'm you know, I'm washing cars.
That's what That's what my mother love cause, so that's
where I get that from. So it's like I don't
think that it.

Speaker 8 (56:10):
I never really say, oh I want you my mother
and this woman because my mother ain't know how to cook.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Cleaned up.

Speaker 5 (56:17):
But you know you have five baby moms, right, and
of course just had relationships before she recently recently got married.
How did you co parent in that situation?

Speaker 7 (56:28):
Right?

Speaker 5 (56:28):
Because asking to be at his house, he has women there,
you know, or you know, just might have a guy.

Speaker 8 (56:35):
Like how did.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Y'all it's crazy that you just cut that man off
talking about his mom.

Speaker 8 (56:38):
No, because it's it's gonna come back now, So I
can see where you're going at.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
Go ahead, forget. So I'm asking, so how did you
deal with that? Because that's what you've seen with your life?
So how did I see with my my son there
with her and her man.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Like how to be co parent?

Speaker 1 (56:53):
Like?

Speaker 2 (56:53):
How did you you know?

Speaker 28 (56:54):
Like so you speak on the husband now before the
husband before that's totally different.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
My relationships and ashe will be home with me. But
then he.

Speaker 6 (57:05):
Yeah, like, how was the co parents and relationship between
you and I was going on schedule? You had girlfriends
and I ain't gonna hold you.

Speaker 8 (57:12):
I take my feelings out of it. A couple of
men that won two one.

Speaker 5 (57:17):
And a half.

Speaker 8 (57:18):
You literally only liked one and a half.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
I ain't like the other one, but you didn't like
him first.

Speaker 28 (57:23):
I didn't, but we're going yeah, yeah, one and a
half because half the half and I ain't really cared
for him, but he loved her, so he loved my
he loved my son. So like I said, it's times
where wrong just taking take them to the house when
they them two is you know, in one household and.

Speaker 8 (57:43):
I would drop them off, no problems or none of that.
So that that was it.

Speaker 28 (57:46):
That was the only transaction for us that really wasn't
us high by what noning.

Speaker 8 (57:51):
I ain't really care for.

Speaker 28 (57:52):
Him because of what he was saying to the other
women who was coming to me, if that makes.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
Sense, said I'm confused, gonna break down at.

Speaker 28 (58:00):
Okay, So he wasn't a sane in this in that
relationship neither, And we then came across a couple of
the same women.

Speaker 8 (58:07):
I ain't disclosing anything, but did you ever tell just that,
like you're doing, it's not my business?

Speaker 2 (58:12):
She felled along. Now, it was not your business.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
It's not what your son there.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
That's myself.

Speaker 8 (58:17):
But they wasn't in the household.

Speaker 28 (58:18):
He was doing what he did on his free time
when he was doing How I know that because my
son was with me majority of the time when he's
doing it on his free time.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Well, the leader was supported cheater anyway.

Speaker 8 (58:29):
I'm not supporting the cheater. You chose him, and that's
on you.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
I didn't know if it was cheating.

Speaker 8 (58:34):
Well I didn't either.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
I didn't.

Speaker 5 (58:39):
I didn't either.

Speaker 8 (58:40):
It was no problem.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
But how did it affect you when she got married?

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Right?

Speaker 5 (58:43):
Because they said there was boundaries. And the reason I
asked is if I'm marrying somebody, I know y'all might
have a relationship, and I know y'all might be tight,
but you kind of got to find your own personally
on because that's mine you know what I mean, That's
that's my wife, now, you know what I mean. But
y'all was so tight for so long. How did those
new boundaries effect co parenting and your relationship.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
Yeah, because somebody had to build a wall.

Speaker 8 (59:10):
Guess what it wasn't It wasn't a wall built, man.

Speaker 28 (59:15):
So when she leap and inn, I need to step
by step.

Speaker 8 (59:20):
But and it wasn't even wrong.

Speaker 28 (59:22):
I want you to meet Chris. It's just a genuine
and it wasn't a wall, my man. I always have respect.

Speaker 8 (59:30):
How did I deal with uh not being around them
more or talking to it? It was best friend because y'all,
but I never.

Speaker 28 (59:36):
Thought about that because you're selfish if you don't want
your best friend or your person that you love to
be happy.

Speaker 8 (59:44):
So if this is what makes her happy, Okay, I
got one child, mom is happy. Mm hmmm. One Russell Wilson,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
This is what you used to say, get the future.
I'm like, yo, yeah, you wanted somebody. You wanted her
to get somebody.

Speaker 8 (01:00:00):
I want her to get the rest. Willson.

Speaker 5 (01:00:02):
I look so forward to death to be parent too.

Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
Yeah that you're writing, and honestly, that's what it is. Uh.

Speaker 28 (01:00:09):
I ain't gonna say I don't want nobody pat yet,
but you have to be parent part what is it?

Speaker 8 (01:00:16):

Speaker 5 (01:00:18):

And she'd be having the latest on the latest with
Lauren la Rosa. Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details.

top dog Law on the Breakfast Club to talk to me.
I think Rome is the top dog conspiracy theory. I

(01:01:23):

Speaker 13 (01:01:25):
So get it into the latest.

Speaker 22 (01:01:27):
Surprize of the Fujis has turned himself in to begin
his fourteen year sentence in a federal institution in Arizona.
So if you guys don't remember, Prize was convicted of
money laundering, legal lobbying, and campaign finance violations that they
tied to try to title Obama's campaign, but his attorneys
are already talking about the fact that he plans to
appeal while he's in prison. A spokesperson for Prize, Erica Dumbaz,

(01:01:51):
she said, I d U m A s doms dumbassa.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Prize speaking, had no visits speaking for speaking.

Speaker 22 (01:02:08):
She says when he turned this up in She says,
today was a painful day for Prize and his family
and for everyone who believes in a fair justice system.
She talks about the appeal and then she goes on
to say that you know that they believe that on appeal,
the record will show that his rights were violated and
that the truth will come.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
To Like, can I say that I feel like I
hear this story every year Prize turned himself into prison
for fourteen years. I thought he was in Yeah, they.

Speaker 22 (01:02:32):
Sack because the judge said one day, and then they
kept giving him thirty days sent She said, they extended
it like two times.

Speaker 13 (01:02:37):
But this is he's actually done it this time.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
So he's in prison right now.

Speaker 13 (01:02:40):
Yes, he turned this outh in fourteen years.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Yes.

Speaker 22 (01:02:44):
Now in other news, so the Ring magazine and MSN
right now are reporting that Floyd Mayweather has been notified
by the I by the I r S as of
the end of last month, the end of March, that
his US passport may be revoked because of this seven
point three million dollars in tax is that he owes
for those unpaid taxes in twenty eighteen and twenty twenty three. Now,

(01:03:05):
you guys know that this is an issue because he
has fights that he's been talking about that are out
of the country now. According to the IRSY, they told
him at the end of market they plan to notify
the Department of State because of those taxes. And the
only way that he can kind of come up out
of this and make sure that the passport is not
revoked is if he pays the debt in full, he
reaches an installment agreement or a settlement with a Department

(01:03:25):
of Justice, or he establishes some sort of financial hardship
where he can explain to them that he's not able
to pay the taxes, or there's been identity theft, or
if he files for bankruptcy.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
That's just protocol. So that's protocol. So when you owe
a large summer money, the first thing they do is
they put a lean on all your properties, and then
they pull your passport. His accountant, if he has a
good accountant, and I'm sure he does, well, I hope
he does. A good accountant will get his passport back
because he is actually going in to work to make money.
Like they allow you to travel, they just want to
make sure you're not a flight risking that you don't

(01:03:56):
come back. But there's no signs to that with Floyd.
I mean, he has a house here, he has his
family here, and he's going to actually fight to make money.
They just gonna tax that money as soon as he
gets paid.

Speaker 13 (01:04:04):
Yeah, Now here's the thing.

Speaker 22 (01:04:05):
So you guys, remember that Floyd Tyson fight was supposed
to be happening, and it's still supposed to be happening,
according to a rep for Tyson. But there it was
rumored that it was going to go down April twenty fifth,
and then it just went quiet on both sides, and
so a lot of the reports are pointing to the
fact that maybe that was one of the reasons why.
But then he also has a fight that the exhibition
that he just announced in June, and then he also
still has the Pack y'all fight, So we'll see what happened.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
I don't know how you end up in that type
of financial situation. I don't know why the taxes weren't
being paid. But that's a hard story.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
It could be above a bunch of different things. It
could be bad accounting, it could be That's probably usually
what it is bad account Lord, have mercy.

Speaker 6 (01:04:43):
Yes, I'm you known from being the money man, like
the billionaire, and then now you have these issues like
I know that hurts his ego.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
I know that hurts his pride.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
Of course, there could be a bunch of things, bad investments,
I know, but it's just the things. But this happens sometime.
But yeah, we all know is the person that gets
that first check is first IRS. You play with him.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
As soon as you get a big check. The first
thing you need to do is make sure the IRS
cut is put off to the side.

Speaker 22 (01:05:13):
Well and more positive news and switching gears. Meg thea stallion.
She you know, she's always looking for different ways that
she can give back. I know people don't normally talk
about that, but yesterday it was announced that I thought
that this was dope, that she is partnering her Pete
and Thomas Foundation with Habitat for Humanity and they're going
to be going and repairing homes for senior citizens across
Dallas in her hometown of Texas. So this initiative will

(01:05:36):
renovate over thirty homes for senior citizens. It'll help with
the central repairs like roofing, weather proofing, ramp installations, and
a different mobility modifications to make it easier for you know,
people who can't afford to, you know, figure out how
to change their homes and they're not as mobile to live.
So you know, shout out to make the scillion for.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
The looked a big mag man.

Speaker 22 (01:05:55):
Yeah, but as we talk about that, you gotta mention yesterday,
do you remember the WNBA player Lexi Brown, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Who had when they were alleged cheating.

Speaker 22 (01:06:06):
Yes, Megan, she spoke to Fox yesterday and she says
that she's receiving death threats behind the fact that people
think she broke up the Meg in Clay relationship.

Speaker 13 (01:06:13):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 29 (01:06:15):
Me and Claire do know each other because we both
played professional basketball. I would have considered him a friend.
I do not know Meg the Stallion at all. I'm
still the only person that has denied this entire situation.
Of my involvement and claimed that this is one hundred
percent false, and the fact that I'm still the only
one that is defending my name. I have no idea

(01:06:37):
how to process that there is this massive outcry for
protecting black women and nobody has mentioned Lexi Brown's name
in any of those conversations. I was getting threats on
my life, I was getting threats on my health. My
family started getting comments and threats from people. I've had
to hire security to travel with me places. So it

(01:06:58):
got to a point where I just was scared for
my myself.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Yeah, that's just a bunch of med meg fans.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
You know what I'm saying, turn the phone off.

Speaker 22 (01:07:09):
That is I feel like people just take things too far,
because like why absolutely you know what I mean like that,
that's just a bit too far.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
But that's what they do in the comments. That's what
social media is for. It is that type of cesspool.
It's that type of playground. Those people go online that
go in your comments just to mess with you. Did
they say they was going let's go to Clay comments
and jump them.

Speaker 13 (01:07:27):
They was in there.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
In there, They're doing the same thing as somebody like Lexi.
That's That's what they do. That's what social media is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Like you said, put your phone down.

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
I remember you telling you telling Megan it before too,
when she was like fighting for her life in the comments,
you know, when that beef was going on between her
and Nikki, was just like yo, turn turn your phone.

Speaker 5 (01:07:46):
You that.

Speaker 13 (01:07:47):

in a long time, because I actually been good. I've
been turning off.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):

worried about just going online making the comments.

Baull Irene, bone Irene? Who you want to get the

Speaker 20 (01:11:24):
I want to give the donkey to everybody who was

Speaker 18 (01:11:29):
Donkey donkey, all of.

Speaker 20 (01:11:31):
Them, all of them.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
I haven't seen it. I'm going this weekend. Though it
is great. I loved it, it's not it's not great.

Speaker 20 (01:11:37):
It's like y'all forgot who Michael was. Y'all, y'all was
here when Michael.

Speaker 17 (01:11:41):
Who was not great?

Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
Tell me what you mean, nobody? What do you mean
do you mean we forgot who Michael was?

Speaker 20 (01:11:47):
I mean, like the film just didn't do him justice.
It did not do him justice at all.

Speaker 18 (01:11:52):
I mean I heard when Laura and my bad Laura
la Rossa.

Speaker 20 (01:11:57):
Uhh, when you were saying that, you know, there was
some traveling tribulation that they couldn't do some stuff, which
makes sense. That's probably why the.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
Movie was whacked. They had to, you know, get.

Speaker 18 (01:12:06):
Rid of a lot of stuff.

Speaker 20 (01:12:08):
But I feel like it was a montage of.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Like a music video.

Speaker 20 (01:12:12):
Someone reenacted his music videos. That's what it felt like.

Speaker 17 (01:12:16):
Well, it was very superficial.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
Well I'm gonna go this weekend. I haven't seen it yet.
I'm gonna go this weekend though, but I mean, yo,
everybody that I know that has seen the movie, they
thoroughly enjoyed it. But I mean, I think it is
hard to capture a larger than life character like that
on screen. It was.

Speaker 5 (01:12:30):
I don't think it was a montage. I think it
showed his life to a certain aspect. It showed to
the nineteen eighty eight. It showed him as a kid
growing up house father used to beat him, that had
nothing to do with videos. It also showed why he
loved animals and why he moved the way that he moved,
what he did, the moment where he stood up to
his dad. It did show a lot of his performances
and a lot of his music. How he created to
beat it, how he created and got the ideas for

(01:12:50):
some of the songs. So I wouldn't saying as whack
and trash.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
That's a strett. Isn't that how he invented the move walk?
He stood up to his dad and then Joe really
got bucketed, I'll beat your ass, and then he moon walked.
Is that that's not true?

Speaker 10 (01:13:02):
Yo?

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Are you serious? He was about to get beaten and
he just started slacking.

Speaker 11 (01:13:07):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
That was somebody told me. I don't know, I didn't
see the movie. I'm going this weekend. Michael was really
a clown, yo. He played too much doing My Bad Dad.
You know Homer Simpson was moon walking to when he
walked back into them bushes. Remember, good morning? Who's this?

Speaker 17 (01:13:23):
This is Catherine?

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
Hey Catherine? Who you want to get the biggest he?

Speaker 17 (01:13:27):
I want to give the biggest donkey to Charlemagne?

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Oh lord, what I do?

Speaker 17 (01:13:31):
Uh?

Speaker 30 (01:13:32):
Yesterday when the lady called about up bound, you really
dogged her out, and you know.

Speaker 25 (01:13:38):
You asked her, you know, about her well, one of
you guys asked her about her height and her weight,
and you always talk about mental health and all of that.

Speaker 17 (01:13:46):
And this lady could have been she could have.

Speaker 25 (01:13:48):
Gone through Tonta when she was younger.

Speaker 17 (01:13:50):
She could have been.

Speaker 25 (01:13:51):
Peased when she was younger about her way. And she
called to talk about not getting the help that.

Speaker 17 (01:13:56):
She need it from her insurance company. Charlemagne, and you.

Speaker 25 (01:14:00):
Go in on people.

Speaker 30 (01:14:01):
I don't know if you guys have.

Speaker 17 (01:14:02):
People call in and you know, make crank.

Speaker 25 (01:14:05):
Call for you guys can dog them out. But Charlemagne,
come on.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
I don't think she had a problem with it. We
were going back. It wasn't even I.

Speaker 25 (01:14:13):
Think she had a problem with it because she didn't
want to get embarrassed on the phone. But when she
got off that phone call, you don't know what she
could have went through, Charlamagne.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
We talked, We talked to the people before you know,
we we we go live with them, man, and and
after me, before you were live, Oh you might not
have been worth talking to. And I'm just playing. I
just said that I just said that. You say, I'll
be talking.

Speaker 25 (01:14:33):
People out, that's all to go all in on you. Yes, ma'am,
I do actually Okay, Look, you talk about people saying
acts or asks. You write books and you say Libarry,
I do I Greary has an R in it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Okay, you're correct.

Speaker 6 (01:14:48):
Come on, girl, you got.

Speaker 25 (01:14:51):
You haven't seen you haven't seen the Michael movie. But
the pastor just came on this morning and talked about
change and uh and being forced to change. And so
when you go to see the Michael movie, I think
you need to get your little uh, get your little
step stool and when you go to the bathroom in
the morning, get up on it and look in the

(01:15:12):
mirror and make that change.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Oh okay, it was stumbling.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
None of this, none of this.

Speaker 25 (01:15:22):
Looks morning show. And I have gone all this time
and never call them because I love listening.

Speaker 30 (01:15:29):
It just me me uh envy. I love it, you
not so much. You're a semi celebrity, you know you.
You just go all in on people, and it's difficult
for me sometimes to listen because of you. But tolerated,
but I don't like it. I do have a choice

(01:15:51):
not to listen, but I still listen anyway and support
because I love the show.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Thank you.

Speaker 25 (01:15:57):
You need to make that change.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
Charlemagne, Well listen. None of it this offends me because
it's true. You said I'm short, you said, you said
what else you said? You said? You say library, library.

Speaker 25 (01:16:09):
I mean you will order one of your books just
to read it for the content, to see if there's typos,
and not really for the content because I'm not really
interested in it, but I love to read it, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
But this is my thing. None of this is offensive
because it's true. Just like if somebody calls up here
and tells us that there are a weight loss medication,
and then we asked them they height and weight, and
they tell us that's true truth.

Speaker 25 (01:16:31):
I mean, why would you do that? Why aren't you
all in on Blue Cross Blue Shield. I work in
corrections and Blue Cross Blue Shield just made a huge change.

Speaker 17 (01:16:40):
A lot of people's lives.

Speaker 30 (01:16:42):
So you ought to be a little more careful and
you know that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
But but the gist of the phone call yesterday was
literally about us dog and Blue Cross Blue Shield. But
your ears decided to focus on just the aspect of
the call. You didn't like.

Speaker 17 (01:16:56):
It wasn't yes, it wasn't for that.

Speaker 25 (01:16:58):
You You you on the butt end of the phone
call say oh blue cross, blue shield, we were all
in on what's your heighth and MV. You said, oh
there is a gym, and yes there is a gym,
but some people need help on the beginning part of
that the temper crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Why you're not mad at envy? You ain't got no,
you don't got no criticism for ency.

Speaker 5 (01:17:18):
She love us, missus donk here today.

Speaker 25 (01:17:20):
So this is criticism for you because you if it
was just a sprinkle here and they're like envy, you
know that would be I could tolerate that. But you
are You even go in all in on your employees
and that might be y'all's relationship and y'all's USh. But you,
little man, you got a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
You're right, thank you. Nothing nothing you said is wrong,
and I'm not offended.

Speaker 5 (01:17:46):
I will say this though, Yes, I think a lot
of people do use ozempic and that a z pound
as an alternative to actually go into the gym. I
think for a lot of people it is an easy
way out. A lot of people will not go to
the gym, and because that shot is available, they'll take
that shot. Even when they don't necessarily need to lose
that much of weight. So I do feel like those
shots for a lot of people, not everybody is a

(01:18:06):
cop out. And Charlemagne doesn't know what he's talking about. Yes,
we do screen the calls that today you got through
without us screening because our producer and another one woke
up late. So that's the reason why. But yes we
do screen the calls to speak to the people before
you just got through because two producers weren't here.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
And I also would like to say that yesterday we
actually told the woman she wasn't fat when she told
us her heighten her with I just want to throw
that out there. Well, we actually told her she was
not fat.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
She was just trying to get snatched the whole time.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
That's right, all right, that was the people's donkey. We
do that every Friday. You can call in and give
somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid, even if
it's me. Okay, so one five one on five one
remember that for next Friday.

Speaker 5 (01:18:43):
And you gotta watch Charlomagne just because when the lady
says up about me, he goes, why you ain't going
in on envy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
Because she said she said that an envy gonna say
that that girl need to go to the gym. So
I'm just trying to figure out why you ain't got
no smoke fan feed.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
Then because you're at the mental health she said.

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
And jokes are a part of having healthy mental health. Okay,
the people that call into this show the same way
that woman could give it to me, right, I condition,
I can take it. That's the beauty of the breakfast Club.
That's the relationship we have with our listeners.

Speaker 5 (01:19:16):
Okay, you can take it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
That's right, all right, we clown each other in the screen.
You gotta see, you know, mean people walking to me
at the Black Festival with jokes me too, you see
what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:19:24):
I'm not Dominican, by the way, everybody out there black,
if you were, you here, you Dominican. No, I'm not
dominic here by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
Yes, you think it hurts me to hear man, I
thought you were six feet tall. You saw six feet
tall on the radio. I'm sure I don't care. All right.

Speaker 5 (01:19:38):
When we come back, Rizza will be joining us. He
has a new movie called A Spoon of Chocolate. We'll
talk to him about it when we come back. So
don't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
Morning, everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:19:46):
It's dj NV, Just Hilarion Charlamagne the guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the buildings. Indeed,
he has a new movie that comes out this Friday,
Ladies and Gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
Rizza.

Speaker 5 (01:20:00):
The movie is One Spoon of.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Chocolate, Man. One Spoon of Chocolate is my personal opinion,
instant classic, instant classic. I already got it as one
of the best movies I've ever seen. And to me
for what I like in the tape of movies, I like,
it's one of my all time personal favorites. I watched
it twice yesterday.

Speaker 22 (01:20:17):
Man literally instagram yelling and like, all y'all, I calm
down now.

Speaker 5 (01:20:26):
I'm sixty two minutes in, and I would just say,
I'm highly impressed.

Speaker 11 (01:20:33):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:20:34):
You know it's funny. I'm watching it and I'm watching
the characters play out right, and I'm talking to charlagecause
you know he got a live off because he's seen it, right,
So I'm watching it and he's telling me your parish.
I'm like, that's Michael Jackson's daughter as one of the
stars are, but you don't look at her as Paris Jackson,
you just look at her as a good actress and
I was highly impressed.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Brother, Yeah, she definitely did a thing.

Speaker 7 (01:20:54):
Out of all the actors that's in the film, she's
she don't need to be there, right, Most people that
that do uh, acting or music, whatever they do it for,
they need a bag or they do it for popularity.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
She's already one of the most.

Speaker 7 (01:21:08):
Popular persons in the world living sitting on a you know,
a bag of of of of accolades and economics.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
So she came there.

Speaker 7 (01:21:16):
She she came as an artist, and she got up
every morning six in the morning, gotten that makeup chair,
came on set and actually had something that I noticed
by do you notice actor different actresses or actors got
a special quality like shan Meek Moore, He's a sponge absolutely,
but she's like a motor memory, like you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Like I seen that in Lucy Lou. I've seen that
in Uma Thumb.

Speaker 7 (01:21:39):
And like people that that could do it twenty times
exactly the same way because they already did it in
their minds. So she definitely has a she wants to
do this, She can go as far as she wanted.

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Jackson want us in the theatis because you know, last
week his movie came out and then this week.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
Comes out.

Speaker 7 (01:21:57):
Yeah, which, which I think in the coach is a
it's a good one two punch and ally one is
very you know, Jackson movies uplift and bring us our
childhood and bring children into that world, right, and then
one spoon is like for their adults to go, wait
a minute, it's very uplifting to me.

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
Man, I'm still mad right now.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
You do a range of emotions with that last thirty minutes,
you like, yeah, I'm still bad.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
So let's talk about it for people that haven't seen it,
or explain what what spoon of chocolate is.

Speaker 7 (01:22:31):
Well, at the end of the day, the title itself
says a lot, right, because one spoon of chocolate could
change the whole glass of milk, you know what I mean.
And sometimes you got to put that in there. Sometimes
you got to be like yo, change the change the chemistry,
change your outcome as an artist.

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
For me, I put a spoonful of.

Speaker 7 (01:22:50):
Different things into this film, like even from different genres.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
You watch it.

Speaker 7 (01:22:53):
One moment you're feeling like angry, next moment you feel like, wait,
is this a manic comedy going on because there's a
vibe of that. Uh. Then then of course there's the
there's the h action, satisfaction, and then to be quite honest, bro,
and since he saw the cold vows for this there
you guys, you're scared for a moment in that month,

(01:23:13):
absolutely like you're like, hold on, bro, what's gonna happen.
You grab on your seat, like, yo, it's not going
to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
And so I was ready to be mad at you.
I'm like, Yo, don't don't let that happen, right, No, no,
And then something happened and I'm like, oh, no, he
did it, and I'm like, yeah, I kind of have
to give it away.

Speaker 22 (01:23:35):
It was very interesting to see how you guys will
have the conversation because you're so excited about it without
giving the movie away.

Speaker 7 (01:23:40):
Well, you know what, I learned something about about filmmaking, right.
It took me to touch my fourth film, so you know,
and I feel proud of all my work, but I
don't think I ever understood the rubber band effect. So
the rubber band effect is you pull that mother right,
so it's about the pot.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
Then you let it go.

Speaker 5 (01:23:59):
Mmmm.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
Just keep doing that.

Speaker 7 (01:24:02):
You know what I mean, so now that I understand that,
that's the energy you're feeling when you're watching this film.
You're like, okay, okay, let me chill. Then you know
you're looking at the other people in the audience. It's
definitely an audience film. So you saw it by yourself, right.
I mean I watched it on the plane twice and
my wife kept tapping me because I.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
Was, yeah, people looking at me on the plane. And
then I watched it again at home.

Speaker 7 (01:24:24):
So when you see it, what the audience, it's even
it's like it's it's even another thing because now you
fill the room, you know what I mean. Like when
I first saw it in New York City, you know,
on New York is all we let was yelling at this,
your dad, son, do this, do that. But then in
La it seemed like everybody was nervous, yo, you know
what I mean. Then in San Francisco I did a

(01:24:46):
quna afterwards. It was intellectual, you know what I mean,
everybody took it intellectually. But in Chicago at the Beyond Fest,
cheering standing ovation. So so it gives you, it has
the ability to shake you in a different di.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
Now I know you're an ep and director. Did you
write the movie as well? Yeah, break down your mind
frame with writing through that these past experiences. Of course
that's exaggerated a lot. Button expressed the mind frame definitely.
I mean well, first of all, started writing it in
twenty eleven.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
Somebody told me that that's wow. Yeah that's what thirteen
years Yeah, fourteen years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:25:19):
And I tried to but I got stuck bro like
writer's block, like nothing would come out, Like I just
page forty nothing five years later, nothing really.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
But then when we was doing the New.

Speaker 7 (01:25:29):
York State of Mind tour, on the back of the
tour bus, me and my wife just you know, you
got the start coach, but they're still bouncing. I'm back
there on my computer, and it just came out like water,
every every city, every truck stop, like I get out
to the truck stop sometimes you know, you get off
the bus and you might go in there whatever and
get back on the bus, like.

Speaker 10 (01:25:50):
And all.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
It just came out.

Speaker 7 (01:25:51):
So so as far as the mindset of it, you know,
it's like it's really taken. You know, we're from New York, right,
so I know if you were all close to the
same age, do you remember going to the first white
castles in bay Ridge.

Speaker 4 (01:26:05):
Bro.

Speaker 5 (01:26:05):
Yeah, yeah, my mom was in Queens Village. But I
know what you mean, Yeah, Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
You couldn't.

Speaker 7 (01:26:10):
So if you live on Staten Island you want to
go to White Castle, you had to go across the
ver Zano right Vincent Hurst, bay Ridge, Bro, and.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
You'll do it for for a White Castle worker.

Speaker 7 (01:26:18):
Back in those days, naw, Bro, homies was lined up,
you know what I mean? You know, I mean me
and dirty got chased out of that White Castle, you
know what I mean. I don't know if you know
Leftis Boulevard or that side of you know, back that
side of Queens.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Back in those days on Staten Island, there was a place.

Speaker 7 (01:26:35):
Called Rose Bank, you know, and you know it had
a It's like once you go into that bridge, you
and Rosebank, but it's set.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
On the bridge. You know.

Speaker 7 (01:26:44):
Don't come in here, bro, I mean you go and
you go though, because you know a MP was there.
So you might go to packed bags, but try to
get your hustle on. And yeah, homies, homies, homies would
a pickup truck with bats is sending you up out
of there.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
So so that's that's a childhood thing. That happened in
New York City. You know, all reality.

Speaker 5 (01:27:02):
The crazy thing is even with Staten Allen and two
Wu Tang came out, that's what we have, Madgine Stann
Allen was nothing but white boys in bats. And you
better not go over there except prd to Brooklyn would
like that. You better not going even in Queens where
John Gotti and them live, Like there were areas where
you just like, you're not going on when that side
of town.

Speaker 7 (01:27:17):
Because you get exactly and then and then it evolved,
right some of those like I go to Rose It's
called Rose Bank. I go to Rose Bank. Now bro
Drinks is on our house, the body and the puposition.
But but that evolution may have happened in New York City.
It may have happened, uh you know, and Los Sounges
may have happened in phild But this places in the

(01:27:38):
country where it has not happened yet.

Speaker 1 (01:27:39):
There's places in our.

Speaker 7 (01:27:40):
Country where uh, people are stuck in the stuck in
the past. It's almost like, and I'm gonna say this
without trying to be political, I'm gonna say, you got
the you got the Obama generation, you know what I mean?
And then you got the opposite generation. Yeah, the movie
feels very personal. What pain were you channeling when you
when you were like, like, be honest, Charla Man, I

(01:28:03):
don't think I would challenging my pain.

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
I think I was channeling pain that people are feeling.

Speaker 7 (01:28:08):
Like like I said, it came out like like to watery,
like like I'm like all prass.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Do you know I've been blessed?

Speaker 8 (01:28:18):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (01:28:18):
You know we we all been blessed with you know,
you know you're waking up, you know your your problems
are Our problems are small, but people problems ain't small,
and people problems is probably you know, so much fear,
so much different things in their hearts, and so much miscommunication.
You know, my composer, Tyler Bates, who does big Hollywood

(01:28:40):
movies like John Wick and Guardian of the Galaxy, et cetera,
and it's the producer of Malan Manson. I needed somebody
to help me with the music. And so my buddy
Mark Abraham was like, I got a friend who can help.
I didn't know Tyler, and so he called Tyler, and
Tyler watched the film and then he came and said, Yo,
I'm gonna help you with this, bro, right, because I

(01:29:01):
couldn't afford this guy. So I'm gonna help you because
I want people to see this. He said, Uh, the
characters in there that's on the villain side, we him
as as a as a white man, basically hoping that
none of those qualities.

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
Exist in him or his peers. Right.

Speaker 7 (01:29:22):
So it's the same way like in Django, when you
saw Sam Jackson played what they call the I could say,
I don't like I don't even say that much, like
two or three times a day.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
I got it with the cool role. Samuel Jackson was
the cool role.

Speaker 7 (01:29:39):
Un yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he played the uncle Tom
joint right, But when he played it, you didn't want
none of that to be in you. In fact, Minister
Firecon once said I've seen him get interviewed about Django
and it was like, Minister fire Con, uh, Spike Lee
is Boycott and Django? What do what do you think?
You know, min it's a I'm paraphrasing, he said, did

(01:30:01):
he see it? He said no, he won't see it,
So what do you think about that? What do you
think about the movie? And minister said, I haven't seen it,
you know, so I can't speak on it. But if
the brother Spike, who's a very intelligent brother, if he
wants to boycott it, that's his right. About two weeks
later they interviewed him again.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
He said, Minister Firecn, I only seen Jago. What do
you think It was a marvelous.

Speaker 8 (01:30:20):
Movie, he said?

Speaker 7 (01:30:23):
He said, the way they played it, the depiction in
Leonardo Sam Jameson. Sam Jackson played the uncle Tom so
well that if there was any Tom in you, you
felt uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
That's to me.

Speaker 7 (01:30:37):
It's the characters of Jimmy and the Sheriff and our movie.
If anybody is watching this and days go, that's me.
They hopefully something shakes them up a little bit and
they get some passion out of them and let go
of that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
What does one spoon of chocolate teach people about life
in two thousand twenty six? What do you hope it
teaches people?

Speaker 7 (01:30:55):
Well, the biggest thing, like I said, is preparation, yo.
You gotta you know, and also be prepared or accept
the change, the chance of change.

Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:31:04):
The title came in twenty eleven and I was writing
the dart, and I don't know if this dart ever
came out.

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
I keep saying that.

Speaker 7 (01:31:10):
I can't remember if I said it on a song
or not, but it was like, you want a spoonful
of dope or a spoonful of.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
Hope, you know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (01:31:19):
And so it's like, okay, that led to a spoonful
of chocolate, because one spoon of chocolate could change the
whole glass of milk.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
And can I say something man Avon has never steered
me wrong. I don't care if it's Clariss, I don't
care if it's Nicole. Alex was on me about watching
this movie.

Speaker 4 (01:31:35):
Bro.

Speaker 7 (01:31:35):
Yeah, the brother alex Avon and the whole CIA team.
But alex Avon he saw it early, like even before
it was finished, and he was like, Yo, I want
to help you spread the world on this, you know
what I mean. So I know he shouted you out
to watch it. So I just want to say thank you, Alex,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):

Speaker 7 (01:31:51):

the world.

this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:38:57):
Listen, there would be no tell death to wear it
wasn't for wrongs.

Speaker 6 (01:39:03):
Right as don't like just cancel me out. If it
wasn't for me and Rome, there would not be until
death do we?

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
That is true? And you know I said I was
saying during the interview, man, I was always trying to
figure out I didn't have the language for the energy
between Rome and Jess. But I see it now like
Rome has a very very deep mother womd and and
and Jess has has has done her best to help
heal that. Correct, you know, not saying that she's playing

(01:39:33):
the role of his mother in any way, shape and form,
but you could just tell, as he said in the interview,
there's been people who's tried to put salt in that
mother womb, but Jess has been the person to try
to heal it, and I think that brings some type
of comfort, you know, and you do it effortlessly, jeff
It don't seem like it's draining for you.

Speaker 5 (01:39:52):
She does it because she cares. Absolutely, So pick up
Essic's book if you're out and about this weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:39:57):
Till Death do we Parents in stores, it's online.

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
It's a great read.

Speaker 6 (01:40:02):
And shout out to everybody that came out to the
book signing last night in Dumbo Powerhouse Bookstores. Yo, what
I realized last night is, Yo, a lot of people
are hurt, Like it's so many moms and dads going
through things right, and YO, if my book can be
a beacon of light, or if me and Rome can
be a becon of light for people like YO, that's

(01:40:23):
you gotta think about the impact that that gives, because
the hardest thing to do is to co parent with
somebody that you despise or you know, who don't see
you and don't see all the hard work you're putting
in to do it by yourself. And that's that's what
I was getting a lot. So I appreciate everybody who
came out. I appreciate everybody who's bought the book so far,
it's a great piece of literature till death. Do we

(01:40:45):
parents and bookstores online, get it, get it, get it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:48):
And do it reviewed.

Speaker 6 (01:40:49):
Don't just don't just get it because you support me
and you're you're a fan of me. Get it, actually
read it, and then do your own review. Tell me
how it impacted you.

Speaker 1 (01:40:57):
Yeah. One of the reviews I've been saying is Mathew
want Rome to write a book?

Speaker 6 (01:41:00):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And he was walking around Pober bookstores.

Speaker 2 (01:41:03):
That's like, yeah, I'm gonna do that. I'm working on.
Charlemagne already gave me the green light.

Speaker 6 (01:41:08):
I'm like, Yo, don't yell at out, Like, stop yelling
at out, Yo, we're walking on my book right now.

Speaker 2 (01:41:15):
No, y'all not.

Speaker 1 (01:41:16):
I can't give the green light. Just got to get
a green light to just say he can write one
that I you know, try to make it happen.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
But I do see that in his future he wants
to tell his story, you know, from his perspective, and
I want him to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:41:29):
So right warning everybody, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
Dj n V.

Speaker 5 (01:41:33):
Just Hilarius and Charlamagne to God, we all the Breakfast Club.
I know we've been talking a lot about movies. But
if you're looking for a new series to watch, Netflix
has a brand new access series called Man on Fire,
which is out right now. It starts Yah y'all abdul
Mateam the second as John Creezy. He's a former Special
Forces mercenary who tries to rebuild his life after a
failed mission. The problem is danger keeps pulling him right

(01:41:56):
back in and Man on Fire, Creasey ends up having
to protect a young woman from the relentless assassins. Trust me,
if you like action, this one's for you. Take a
listen to this.

Speaker 4 (01:42:06):
Rantine is always telling me that I worry about you
too much.

Speaker 5 (01:42:14):
He look, why don't you come back with me?

Speaker 4 (01:42:16):
We could use your on the team.

Speaker 1 (01:42:20):
Man, I'm pretty much a solo hack at this one.

Speaker 4 (01:42:25):
How's that working out here?

Speaker 2 (01:42:26):
I've blest everything, my family, who I'm calling on in front.
If the people who brought down that beauty find her,
she will suffer all over again.

Speaker 5 (01:42:44):
Make sure you watch Men on Fire right now, only
on Netflix. Now it's time to get up out of here, Charloamane,
youve got a positive Nope.

Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
Yes, I want to also tell people make sure you
go watch the Breakfast Club interviews on Netflix, Today's Interview
with Rizza and Today's Interview with Rome and just hilarious.
And please go see once more on the Chocolate because
I need somebody to talk to, okay, because there's nobody
that has seen it other than the people that have
been involved. And I mean they've had screens and stuff
for it, but I ain't spoken to none of the people.

(01:43:11):
I need the people that I know to go see
it so I can talk to him about it.

Speaker 5 (01:43:14):
Up on it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
But the positive note is this, The truth will set
you free, but not until it is finished with you.
What does that mean? Truth is not just a polite realization.
It is a force that dismantles every illusion and misconception
that you have about yourself. When I say finished with you,
that aspect implies that truth works on you and it

(01:43:36):
changes your perspective and overcomes your resistance to it. So
stop resisting the truth.

Speaker 4 (01:43:42):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:43:42):
It'll set you free, but not until it's finished with you.
Have a great weekend. Breakfast Clubs, Woke Up, Wake Up
