Speaker 8 (02:53):
Me, Jess.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Okay, Well, let's get in some front Page News.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
What's uping to me?
Speaker 9 (02:58):
MV Jos Charlam, how y'all doing this morning? Good morning,
So we started this morning with new questions about what's
not in the Jeffrey Epstein file. So an NPR investigation
reports the Justice Department may not have released all the
documents tied to the Jeffrey Epstein case, including FBI interviews
(03:18):
and records connected to a woman who was accusing of
President Trump of sexual assault decades ago. Now, according to NPR,
more than fifty pages of FBI interview notes appere in
official evidence log but are not publicly available in the
DOJ's online database. A Democratic Congressman, Robert Garcia, who oversees
the House Oversight Committee, says he believes certain FBI interviews
(03:41):
were withheld.
Speaker 10 (03:42):
Let's listen to what he had to say.
Speaker 11 (03:44):
It appears that the dj is withholding critical documents as
it relates to a survivor who made allegations about President
Trump when she was a minor, of which who we
know who the survivor is.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Of course, they're redacted and we're not going to really information.
Speaker 11 (04:01):
So while some of the documents in that list are there,
they're clearly a series of documents have been removed, and
we understand and it's been confirmed that those those documents
have been removed likely pertained to some allegations that the
survivor made about President Trump.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So why would anybody want why would anybody want to
protect you know, anyone that's in the Epstein files, Like
even if you're in the DOJ right and I know
that you're not supposed to be beholden to the President
of the United States of America, Like, why would you
want to protect him if he, you know, might be
connected to something so heinous.
Speaker 10 (04:42):
It's a really good question.
Speaker 9 (04:44):
But according to NPR and their investigation, the woman told
investigators that in the early nineteen eighties, when she was
about thirteen years old, Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump,
and she alleges that Trump sexually assaulted her. FBI record
show agents interviewed her four times.
Speaker 10 (04:59):
This is according to.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
The investigation by NPR, and only one interview appears in
the public release, and that version, though does not reference Trump.
So in that one that appears in the files, it
does not appear to reference Trump. The White House they
strongly deny the allegations. They call it false, and the
Justice Department says though it is reviewing the records and
(05:20):
will publish any documents they may have left out that
were not properly released. But meanwhile, another high profile name
is addressing his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. I'm talking about
Bill Gates. So, speaking to his foundation, Gates says he
began meeting with Epstein back in twenty eleven, years after
Epstein had already pled guilty to soliciting a minor, and.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
He admits that he failed to properly vet him.
Speaker 9 (05:44):
And continued meeting with him through twenty fourteen, even after
his thin wife Melinda Gates, raised concerns, and Gates told
The Wall Street Journal in the past that he was
stupid for maintaining his relationship with Epstein.
Speaker 12 (05:56):
Let's listen to that, well, Jeffrey in retrospect, I was
foolish to spend any time with him, and he sort
of got time with various people by spending time with
other people. So, yes, I think I was quite stupid.
You know, I thought it would help me with global
health philanthropy. In fact, had failed to do that, and
(06:17):
it's just a huge mistake.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Yeah, So, in a private meeting with his foundation that
Gates confirmed that he flew on Epstein's private jet he
met with him in New York, in Washington, Germany, and France,
but says he never stayed overnight and he never visited
Epstein's private island. And He's also addressing newly released Epstein
files that show photos of him with women whose faces
(06:41):
were redacted, and he says that those were Epstein's assistant
and that Epstein asked him to take photos with those
women after he met them, but he says that he's
never spent spent any time with any of the victims.
And Gates is also revealing that Epstein he became aware
of two extramarital affairs that Gates had with Russian women,
(07:01):
and Gates he says that Epstein later referenced that in
an email and suggested that that information could damage him
and damaged his reputation. And Gates is also acknowledging this
morning that his association with Epstein may have also helped
Epstein appear more legitimate, meaning if Bill Gates is hanging
out with him, then other people will feel safe hanging
out with him.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Bill confessed to smashing two other cheeks story.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yes he did, Yeah, he did.
Speaker 12 (07:24):
He did.
Speaker 9 (07:25):
He said that there were two other Russian women that
he yes smashed.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
If you confessed to getting some other cheeks outside of
the marriage, man, it was probably more than two times.
If you confessed the two, that means probably did at
least ten Jesus one hundred and seven billion dollars. Come on, man,
only two?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
But you know, he apologized. But why did he apologize
because he said he didn't do anything wrong. He just
said that, you know, he took a meeting he was
gonna give money for philanthropy, And but why apologize if
I did nothing wrong? I apologize, Well.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
He cheated, Oh, I mean for that point, so apologized
to his wife.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
And I think he's saying he's apologizing the envy because
he hung around with him even longer than.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
He should have.
Speaker 10 (08:12):
So after he was convicted, he was still.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Hanging out with him, and he was in the documents.
There's pictures of him in the documents with women, and
so I think he's apologizing to his foundation because he's
bringing unwonted attention show to his cause.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And there must be Uh. It is interesting. That is
a good point though, because it's like he's the only
person that's confessing to anything. I haven't heard nobody else
in the ft files, and you know, admit that anything.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
To say that it was even now.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And for him to be who he is, he could
just shut the hell up and it would go away.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
It would be a story that's very very true, very
very true.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
So a lot of accountability this morning, if you call
it that coming from Bill Gates in that that statement there,
or that that talk that he had with his foundation,
and coming up in the next hour for the millions
of people who keep America running, new rules are coming.
I'm talking to all my truck drivers this morning. We'll
explain what's changing in the next hour.

I was grew up in most corner, South Carolina. So
I'm sure is that my mother house under her beds.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
And it should be on your personal Charlomagne is responsible
for you to not have, for you not to have an.
Speaker 15 (14:26):
Important documentary documentation about yourself, like a FIR certificate or
Social Security number?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Response, what are you trying to get at her? What
you wanted to have?
Speaker 7 (14:34):
The all all, I'm I'm gonna tell you right now,
stream right now. No, I'm not no, No, it's not
about that. It's not about that. It's not about that.
I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 15 (14:48):
It's a narrative that it's hard for people to get, uh,
the type of documentations like FIR certificates or Social Security calls.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
I got to cut that narrative out, especially somebody like.
Speaker 15 (14:57):
Myself that's also black. I lost my Social Security card
and my Social Security in my Firth certificate, and I've
replaced both of them. It don't cost over twenty dollars
to replace your certificate, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It doesn't cost.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
It's a lot of time, like you just had to
do with huzz Over because I didn't know when you
got married you had to change your Social Security to
your spouse's new new last name. And it took a
full day of doing it, Like her full day was
done going to the Social Security office and I had
to get a personificate before. It took me about two
days to get it. It takes some time, bro, It's not easy.
You just don't walk and get it.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
It's not easy, but it's possible.
Speaker 15 (15:31):
And this whole narrative that oh, poor people can't get
it or you can't get easy access to it, these
things and it's important, it's responsible for you to have
those type of things. Yeah, but I have some copies
of my pirth certificate but no, no, I keep it
at home. But what I'm saying is you should have it.
You're like, there's no reason why you know your first
(15:53):
tipic should be only the way in most court.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You know, why are you worried about what I'm doing?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Is trying to tell you that you know.
Speaker 15 (16:00):
Because you know you were you you had posted on
Instagram a while ago, like you would just be like
you guys just trying to spend the narrative that black
and poor people don't have easy access to these documentations
and that's just that's not true.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Keep and I'm getting and I'm almost guaranteed his wife
has a birth certificate because I'm sure they had to travel,
they need a passports. I'm sure his wife got all that.
You know, Charlaine, don't know much about that house. Listen,
my wife, he and all that.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
But I love you guys, man, I love you guys.
You guys you got ticket.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I appreciate, but he does have to. It is important
to acknowledge that. You know, if the Trump Save America
Act passes, twenty one million Americans will be at risk
of losing their voting rights because only one in three
Black Americans have a valid passport. Nearly half of black
Americans under thirty don't have a driver's license with their
current name and address. Okay, and millions of women whose
names change after marriage don't have matching documents. Correct, So
(16:50):
those things are important to acknowledge very I mean, you know,
I know, like we like to act like things are
so cut and dry, but they're not. Yeah, okay, do
you know do you know what your birth certificate is?
Y just now know yours is LRD. I'm all right?
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Is that my mother?

Llo cool bad young Stop time.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Shut up.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
I'm talking those stops on the head looking over there.
Speaker 18 (18:58):
Put your head down so they can see what your
hair on and we say the hairlines in the middle too.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 18 (19:03):
So SNL Right, So Cardi b was on SNL. She
was the musical guest on their one thousandth episode. We
talked about that episode. It was the episode where she
did Bodega Baddy and everybody was so excited because they're like,
in this climate, this is great. And Pete Davison was
also on that episode. Now, there was a report that
broke yesterday via TMZ that Cardi B got upset on
(19:25):
the set ahead of a rehearsal. During a rehearsal, So,
according to TMZ, she got upset because she overheard a
joke that was supposed to go into the weekend update
of the show, and the joke was about Nicki Minaj. Now,
according to this report, the joke had nothing to do
with Nicki Minaj and Cardi who we know have issues
and have had issues ongoing. But she just, according to
(19:45):
this report, would have felt a way that the joke
was even being inputed in the show, knowing that she's
the guest on the show. Now they're alleging that the
joke has something to do with Cardi B's affiliation to
Maga and that Cardi when she got upset and things
escalat and she started to leave the show, she threw
her phone at the TV, allegedly breaking a TV monitor.
She went a producer's office and they alleged that she
(20:07):
punched a screen until it broke.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Now, I feel like this was this.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
This slow, this how long ago?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Three weeks ago to yeah, but and this is my thing.
Speaker 18 (20:19):
I feel like this report, this is a lot over
a joke that didn't even evolve her and Nikki directly.
I can understand her feeling like, y'all know what y'all
doing by and putting a joke and I'm here.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Respectful though, like do we know what the kids like?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
We made the TV?
Speaker 6 (20:33):
This is true, I'm saying, I don't believe that it's true.
Happened three weeks ago.
Speaker 18 (20:38):
Somebody would card punching and kicking television screens, And I.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Do know what I'm saying. If she had did that,
it was something to warrant that.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Like, so all that they mentioned in their report, in
TMZ's report is that the joke has something to do
with mag nothing to do with Cardi B and Nicki Minach.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
So I'm like, okay, So I reached out.
Speaker 18 (20:55):
I was trying to figure out potentially what this joke
might have been. I, having her back, also reached out
to Carty's team. They didn't respond, but Cardi responded herself
on X and she said, HM, all of these little
random stories, f it, let them talk, let them eat cake,
let them come to the ball. And she's headed into
another sold out, you know show on the Little Miss
Drama tour. And yeah, because yesterday was this story that
(21:18):
broke and there was like a story about her and
Stefan Diggs and the breakup around the super Bowl, and.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
You know, just nobody cares about the truth from the
live more entertaining and nine times out of ten when
you out there like doing something great what she is
right now being on tour, you know, celebrating the successful
album sold our shows. It's gonna be a lot of
you know, untruth set around that success.
Speaker 18 (21:38):
Yes, and there was a woman I tried actually about
her earlier. She's a producer and a writer. Name was
Jamie Sullivan.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Jamie Jamie.
Speaker 18 (21:46):
Yeah, and Jamie She I don't know if she was
maybe working the show that day or what, but she
commented on the Jasmine Brands post of the story and
said that this was not true and that she was
there and that this this was lies.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
White jameis Yeah, that's my girl. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (22:00):
Well she she says she was there and that this
didn't happen, It didn't go down like that. Yeah, basically yes,
all right, now moving on, So I know you guys
have been.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Just like, okay, yo, chill yo, go ahead.
Speaker 18 (22:21):
I'll be missing that, okay, all right, So moving on.
So we've been seeing the celebration for Nipsey Hustle over
the weekend. He got the Nipsey Hustle Boulevard on Slashing
in Crenshaw, which is where he grew up, right, But
yesterday I saw a story that the Marathon Burger store
that he owns their expanding, uh to that his family
owns it. They're expanding to Long Beach and they're doing
(22:43):
it with Snoop Dogg's family, which is fire to hear.
But just wanted to take some time to send some
congratulations their way for that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
How fat I am every time I see Marathon Berg
I wanted I never had a Trill Burger either, I
had a Marathon.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
J Cole was working there.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I was about to mention that.
Speaker 18 (23:05):
I was about to tell y'all, yes, so Jake Cole
because remember he was in Arizona because he was trying
to get to l A.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
So he got to l A. So he got a
job real quick to pay for the car. That's crazy.
Speaker 18 (23:19):
He got to l A and he went by Marathon
Burger and he was, you know, he was working there
for the day, just showing his love and respect to
Nipsey and Nipsey's family.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And did he get his car out the shop.
Speaker 18 (23:33):
Yeah, from that I know of, Yes, he got the
car out the shops. But yeah, he was also in
the studio too with some of the folks over at TD.
So people are wondering if that means new music is
coming as well. But yes, okay, yeah, and that's all.
We have more time. But do we have the Chris
Bosh audio in?
Speaker 5 (23:51):
All right?
Speaker 18 (23:51):
So yesterday we heard we learned some news about Chris Bosh.
He was talking about a health scare that he had.
He says he woke up in a pool of blooding.
There have been conversations about his health previous to this.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Let's I think he said he woke up. I think
he said he was going out to date. He was
going to date night and passed out. Yes, let's take listen.
Speaker 19 (24:10):
So I woke up covered in my own blooves. It
was crazy. It was fast, it was instant. There was
no warning. I didn't have any time to prepare for it.
I was getting ready to go on a date with
my wife and the next thing you know, I was
on the ground. I won't get into specifics, but you
can kind of see. I'm still recovering. But it was
(24:31):
a scary thing and it came fast, and it made
me really have a different outlook on life. No matter
what it is. Make sure you don't wait, don't wait
to take action, because it could come fast. It could
come quick, and I'm lucky to be alive and I'm
feel great about that. And now I'm thinking about how
I lived my day to day life. That's really it.
(24:52):
I agree with him, thought, but he didn't wake up.
He's still sleep.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Because when I heard the story, she made it seem
like he was sleeping and woke up like that, But
he was actually going out and passed out.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
That what was But I just meant like he woke
up like he just like what?
Speaker 18 (25:08):
But yeah, So back in twenty sixteen when he retired,
it was due to a blood clot and he admitted
in a newsletter that he was old, more more from
life after having already survived a health situation that ended
his prior career.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
But yeah, so did he ever say what was wrong?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
No, we don't have.
Speaker 18 (25:25):
Any details on that yet, and you know, maybe he'll
he'll talk about that, because again, he's been open about
some of the things that he's gone through. But I
think he just wanted to send that message to people
after you experienced something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I believe when you get to a certain age, okay,
and you start to have, you know, your health issues,
if you're going to say something about them publicly, I
think you it's kind of like your duty to tell
us everything because we wanting I'll be wanting to know,
just as a man.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I watched the interview. I've watched it full too, just
to see what he was like, what the reason, like
everything I need to know for my own personal benefit.
I think that that's your that's your duty when you
get to a.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Certain he's not that old, he's only forty one years old.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Yeah, you know what too?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Like.
Speaker 18 (26:04):
I mean, of course I knew who he was because
he's a Hall of Famer. I don't I'm not like
a big sports person. But when I saw this, I
thought maybe this was going to like because he's been
talking about his half years prior to this, I thought
this was going to turn into him telling people like
where to go to get things checked out, or like,
I thought it was going to lead to something else
in there.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I just want to know what happened. I wonder to
know why did you wake up in a pool of blood, Like,
because you know, I'm a hypochondriac, so where my anxiety
set up? I'll be thinking about that over and over
and over and over. I'm actually gonna text my doctor
to then, like, so your earon what happened to Chris Bobby?
What do you think this could potentially be?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
And not only that, just imagine if his wife wasn't there,
because his wife was when I think they found him.
So imagine if he was just there by himself and
he would just would he have died?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
What passed? Like, what would have happened? It's just very scary.
Speaker 18 (26:45):
Well, he has Letters to a Young Athlete, which is
a book, and he says in his caption that he
wrote about my experience. So maybe there's there, there's more there,
but nothing that he talked about in this video that
he posted about.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
So a man woke up in the pool of blood,
don't want to tell us what happened? Member Tamar woke
up in the pool of blood.
Speaker 18 (27:00):
I mean, ya, shock is a thing too. They get
to a point where they want to but yes, uh yea,
and it.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Is their own health issue, so you know, they're not
entitled to share with anybody. But if you're going to
say something. Yeah, I would like to know more. I'm
not gonna lie. I would lie.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Actually I would care what happened up?
Speaker 18 (27:15):
Yeah, Well, we'll be back in the next Latest talking
about some more things because Lamar Odom is talking about
his drug addiction at the time of saying that he
loved drugs and how it stopped him.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
You know, that's our.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Shot, lamardel whole nothing like I smoke crack, all right,
so I gotta avoid grab.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
That's the latest Lamoring.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Now when we come back, we got front page news
and then even more Sella be joining us.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I don't go anywhere. It's to breakfast club. Goo morning.
Everybody's dj m V.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Just hilarious, Charlamage the guy we are the breakfast club.
Let's get back in some front page news.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
What's up to me?
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Good morning? Envo Charlamage.
Speaker 9 (27:52):
How y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 10 (27:54):
Good morning?
Speaker 9 (27:55):
So we start this hour in Los Angeles, where the
leader of the second largest district in the country is
now at the center of a federal investigation. So FBI
agents they rated the home of LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Cavallo.
Speaker 20 (28:09):
Yesterday.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
Agents served a court approved search warn at his home
and at the LAUSD headquarters in downtown LA and at
a third property in Florida linked to a consultant that
he worked with. Now authorities are not saying what they
were looking for. The warrants are sealed and no charges
have been announced, but sources say the investigation appears tied
to an LAUSD filled AI chat box contract with a
(28:33):
now collapse company called all Here. Now the district they
launched this tool back in twenty twenty four months later,
the company collapse and its founder was arrested on fraud
charges and the chat box it was pulled LAUSD. They
spent about three million dollars on the project. Now the
superintendent he promised a review, but there has been no
public update.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Now the rate it.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Comes as tensions, though, between the district and the federal government,
have been escalating. Cabalo He's been a vocal opponent against
the aggressive ICE enforcement. He's refused to let ICE agents
onto campuses campuses, directing schools to create safety perimeters around
students and graduations and supporters. They're calling it protection, but
(29:15):
critics like the Trump administration have called it defiance. Let's
listen to some neighbors who witnessed the RADI yesterday and
what they had to say.
Speaker 16 (29:22):
I was with my wife for having a cup of
coffee when we heard the sirens. They had a rifle
pointed at the superintendent. Talent out of this and I'm
thankful maybe there was an intruder.
Speaker 17 (29:36):
He's in a position of power, second largest school district
in the nation, and he advocates for children and immigrants,
and you know that these people stay away from our schools.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
So this isn't the first time that Washington has stepped in.
Just last week, the Trump administration, they moved to join
a federal lawsuit LAUSD of discriminating against white students. So
the lawsuit it challenges the districts decade old desegregation framework.
So that lawsuit argues that schools that are labeled PHBAO,
meaning they have mostly Hispanic, Black, Asian or other non
(30:15):
white students, they receive smaller class sizes, more staff, more money,
and schools that are not labeled that way, including those
with more white students, do not receive those same benefits.
And the Justice Department says that that violates the Constitution's
Equal Protection clause. Now, the LAUSD says it remains committed
to equal access for all students, and right now that
(30:36):
investigation continues, and it's important.
Speaker 10 (30:38):
To note that the federal.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
Government says they're not targeting lausd but they are just
targeting the superintendent, and they raided his office in downtown
LA looking for documents or whatever. They haven't actually said yet,
so we're still waiting to see exactly what they're what
they're hoping to find.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Sometimes I want to do these people know these policies
were implemented because other race his were discriminated against four
years like I got us on this day. This whole
white discrimination of outrage we're.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Seeing Ley, Yeah, it's uh, it's more rampant than ever now,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I saw a woman on a plane, a jet Blue
fight the other day going off saying how that the
woman was serving the black people and not her, and
she's like, you're not serving me because I'm white.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I'm like, yeah, it's happening for sure.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
And now to a tragic situation in Missouri involving students
in an HBCU so at Lincoln University, a track and
field athlete is dead this morning after a stabbing and
his girlfriend, who was also a student and a sprinter
at the university has now been charged in connection with
his death, so please say. Twenty three year old Cavan
Goldsen was found with stab wounds to his chest and
(31:50):
back at his apartment near campus his girlfriend or He
was airlifted to a nearby hospital where he later later died,
and according to investigators, his girlfriend twenty seven year old
Danita Jackson. She told officers that she left work early
on Sunday night because she wasn't feeling well, and when
she returned home, she said she found Goldson inside her
roommate's bedroom behind a locked door. Jackson told police that
(32:14):
she used a hair clip to unlock the door and
she found Goldsen and her roommate in bed together, but
they were clothed.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
She said.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
An argument turned physical, and according to court documents, Jackson
told officers that Goldsen kicked her in the stomach, knocking
her off the bed, and then he began choking her,
and she said that she reached under the bed, grabbed
a knife and stabbed him and then called nine one
one and when officers arrived, they took Jackson into custody
and prosecutors they have now charged her with second degree
(32:41):
murder and armed criminal action.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Yeah, yeah, very very sad.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
At Lincoln University, they released a statement they called it
called it a tragic situation, and says its thoughts and
prayers are with everyone impacted.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Yeah, very sad.
Speaker 12 (32:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
And because we know we have thousands of talk drivers
listening this morning, the story is for you. The Trump administration,
it's cracking down on who can legally hold a commercial
driver's license in the US. And this could impact a
lot of people in the industry. So the push it
follows a crash that happened in California that left a
five year old girl with permanent brain injuries, and the
driver was foreign born and had obtained a California CDL,
(33:22):
And now the President is calling for what he's naming
the Delilah's Law, which could block states from issuing CDLs
to undocumented immigrants. Now, at the same time, the Department
of Transportation is stepping up enforcement. So that includes stricter
English language requirements and a proposal to shut down about
five hundred and fifty trucking schools a federal officials say
(33:43):
are unqualified or operating as sham programs.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
So here's why that matters.
Speaker 9 (33:48):
Because if you already if you're already licensed, you already
meet the English requirement.
Speaker 10 (33:52):
That part may not affect you.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
But if you trained at or you're currently enrolled in
one of those schools facing closure, that could affect your sification,
your renewal, or your ability to get licensed at all.
Federal officials believe this could impact about one hundred and
ninety four thousand truck drivers. They could feel some sort
of impact from this broader enforcement.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
A lot of them truck drivers are for and a
lot of them don't really understand English. They don't speak English,
so that is very dangerous, you know what I mean.
They can't read the signs, a lot of them. So
I appreciate this story.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You mean your husband.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I hope that they start taking this very serious because
this is a serious matter.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I'm saying, will your Mexican husband be impacted?
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Do you think my Mexican and black husband will be impacting?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Shoot, where's his birth certificate?
Speaker 8 (34:49):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
What?
Speaker 21 (34:51):
Where is mother?
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Where?
Speaker 17 (34:53):
Shut up?
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Hilarious?
Speaker 9 (34:58):
And lastly, before we go, I just wanted to to
say that Jesse Jackson will be lying in state. He'll
be in South Carolina this week or this Monday. He'll
be lying in the state capitol, so for visitors who
want to get there, he'll be there this Monday, March second,
in the South Carolina State Capital. Flags will be at
half staff to honor him. He was his family had
(35:20):
reached out to the Washington to the Capitol. There House
speaker Mike Johnson, he turned down him lying in state
inside the US Capitol building.
Speaker 10 (35:29):
But he will be in.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
South Carolina, so that's where the funeral will be.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
Well, the funeral will actually be in Chicago March sixth.
The public the public celebration and there will be a
private funeral March seventh, conor him.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
So DC turned him down, like Johnson Asuka for that,
that's crazy Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
South Carolina, Helada, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 10 (35:49):
They held it down.
Speaker 9 (35:50):
So they're saying, if you plan to go get there early,
arrive early. There will be a lot of traffic and
a lot of security. So it's it's Thursday, so if
you plan plan accordingly, that will be all right.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (36:02):
Of course that's your front page news I mean me Brown,
follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories, call
the Black Information Network or is it BI innews dot com?
Speaker 6 (36:10):
All right, now when we come back, even Morsel will
be joining us. And don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Everybody's dj V just Larry show you the guy with
all the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
We got a special guest in the building. Yes, we
do even Moresel, welcome back. How do you feeling?
Speaker 10 (36:25):
I am you bless and highly favorite.
Speaker 21 (36:27):
How y'all doing it at.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
It's good to see you even because you're one of
the few people that's doing press right now, because everybody
in their mama that was on America's Best Top Model
is scared to definitely press. All that documentary is that
I'm not gonna stay as who But there was a
person who.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Told us we're still there but ahead, Oh, there.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Was a person who told us that they weren't coming
up here unless we put in writing that we didn't
ask them about America's Next Time Model.
Speaker 10 (36:56):
Yes, oh really? Were they promoting other things?
Speaker 7 (36:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 22 (37:03):
The club that she's in right now when is popping
and you know what, shout out to Anny Harlowe and
I can absolutely appreciate her sentiments. And I can tell
you why one of the young ladies on the documentary
if you saw it Danny dropped dead gorgeous. She was
one of the winners, and she said something that I
(37:23):
think it's I know, it's very true. It's something that
I try not to talk about a lot because I'm
very grateful for where I am. But doing Top Model
definitely put the scarlet letter on your back. I mean
to know me, y'all knew me when you did when
you were with Wendy. Y'all know me as Eva Pickford.
I changed my name to Eva Marcel, which is my
(37:44):
legal middle name. But I changed it so that when
I went to audition, I walked in rooms, I wasn't prejudge.
They just saw a girl named Eva. It's not that
uncommon of a name. So they see Eva m letter
read for the role, and so then I would get
the role, and later they would realize like, oh my god,
that's that girl from that show. But I can tell
you about ten thousand doors or closed as for sure.
Speaker 10 (38:09):
Can I tell you why? It's because we live in
a new day.
Speaker 22 (38:12):
We live in a day today where to be a
reality star is to be a Kim Kardashian. To be
a reality star is to amplify a brand. And so
when you put someone like a just hilarious on something.
You already know that you're gonna get automatic clicks because
we're coming to see you off the top. And so
if you're selling athletic where we might mess around to
(38:33):
what outfit too, but we're gonna watch it because of you.
When I came up, there was no social media, Charlotte
Mane at all. My interviews came through you, So my
voice came through you. And so me being a part
of a brand took away from the brand because y'all
came to see me. And if you're breaking out as
a designer, you're not trying to worry about the girl
(38:57):
that's walking down the runway hangers. You're more so worried
about the designer and the looks. And so it was
an odd time because that big transition happened to where
reality stars became the big thing, but it didn't change
when it came to Top Model because it was a
TV show first for them, but for us it was
(39:19):
a competition. It was a competition that said, if you
win this show, the baddest person in modeling, the Queen
of modeling, Tyra Banks, has said you are good enough.
She put you through a boot camp that said, you
can do the riggers and if you get this done,
you go out into the world, You're gonna be a star.
And then we went out into the world and they
(39:40):
were like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mister Starr.
Speaker 10 (39:43):
When are you gonna twinkle?
Speaker 1 (39:45):
But you in Takara and like a winning y'all found
a way to brand y'allselves. And I always talked about
branding like she always used branding, like even before it
was a buzzwords. I feel like, did you learn that there?
Speaker 22 (39:56):
Absolute see for me and I can only speak for myself.
I come from South central Los Angeles. I come from
You're gonna hustle, that that's part of who you are.
And then I went to college and I went to
Clark Atlanta University, home of w Eb Duvois.
Speaker 10 (40:11):
And the model was find a way or make one.
Speaker 22 (40:14):
So between coming up in the hood and knowing I
had to get mine in the paint and then going
to college and understanding scholastically what that meant and putting
that into to work. After doing Top Model, I was like, oh, okay, cool.
So the tyra said I wasn't good enough and I
won the show. I'm popping now I got to do
(40:36):
the work, and that was one thing that I was
never confused about, one thing that Tyra did instill in me.
And I believe the rest of the girls, how much
they picked it up or not, I think that they
believed that as soon as you won, like the stars
would open and you would get a billion dollars in
your bank account. They're like, no, we're gonna give you
one hundred thousand dollars sprinkled not quickly and.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Right for that hundred thousand.
Speaker 10 (41:01):
Well, see, no I didn't.
Speaker 22 (41:03):
And I know I've heard other stories and I cannot
discount anyone's story. But Eva Marcel Pickford got her.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Hundred two weeks.
Speaker 22 (41:14):
Yeah, it was like you get your initial money and
then when you came and I had the privilege of
actually signing one of the only girls is signed to
cover Girl. So after getting that initial one hundred thousand,
they're like, okay, now we want you to sell Mescara.
Speaker 10 (41:31):
Now you know what I mean. And so it went
on from there. But the work never stopped.
Speaker 22 (41:35):
The work is ten thousand times more than anyone expected,
and I think that's not what's talked about.
Speaker 5 (41:42):
What do you think made you into cars?
Speaker 18 (41:44):
Experiences with top models so different because I feel like
y'all are the only two girls that could talk completely
positive about everything.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
And even when you talk about the negative, it's not
nothing like with the other girl.
Speaker 22 (41:54):
No, No, I mean the negative is is it's life right,
Like That's why I say you, I mean, you have
sharpie's here, but you usually learn how to write with
a pencil. That's why they have eracers because to air
is to be human. You're not gonna always get it right.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
And it's not just me.
Speaker 22 (42:09):
It's Yaya DaCosta, who played Whitney Houston on Lifetime. Yah
Yah went on to do I mean five seasons of
Chicago med. She did Lincoln Lawyer, My Girls Popping, Yeah,
and a lot of the women are I would be
a bit biased to say season three we definitely stood out,
and the black girls for sure stood out. But I
(42:31):
think that that's what they were casting at that time
they cast it, or an early season season three, they
didn't really know what they were doing. It wasn't even
called reality TV. Like, if you really think about it,
back in two thousand and three two there was no
reality TV. You had Survivor and you had a real
world and that was it, and then you had Top
Model and American Idol. I won the same year as Fantasia.
(42:55):
So that's how long I know. That's how long ago
it is. To answer your question, Lauren, I think that
it was just a great group of stars. They got
women that were bona fide stars in their own right.
I don't know if the producers knew exactly what it
is they were going to tap into and and and
really made that star twinkle, but they taught us how
(43:17):
to shine, and they had stars like it or not.
And t Car walked in there f A B O
l O. I mean when I tell you that girl,
it's fabulous to this day.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Fabulous wrong, but I love it.
Speaker 6 (43:32):
She spelled That's how she spelled it.
Speaker 10 (43:36):
When she walked in, She's like, f A B.
Speaker 22 (43:37):
I was like, listen, that's a shout out to the
one and only NAP star. A net out of New
York City. She got five shops.
Speaker 10 (43:48):
But Annette, she does me from my TV show All
the Queen's Men. Yeah, yes, that's a net.
Speaker 22 (43:56):
And thank you for that because representation means a lot.
That's why I'm hearing today to talk about my movie
and Top Model on all the things that I used
to represent who black women are and I fight like
crazy from my natural hair.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Were you invited to talk on the documentary that they did? Well,
you invite because didn't see you?
Speaker 1 (44:16):
No, no inted.
Speaker 10 (44:17):
I was not invited to talk about the documentary. I
was asked.
Speaker 22 (44:22):
When I realized that the documentary was coming out and
they started promoting it, I was asked by you know,
New York Times everybody, like, you know, what.
Speaker 10 (44:29):
Do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 22 (44:30):
It's hard to think when you don't know what you're watching.
I had no clue how they were going to skew
this what they were going to do. But I am
intelligent enough to know that after twenty two years of
a show, there's no way you can actually do a
positive documentary speaking about the way this woman truly changed
the modeling game without talking to the people that helped
(44:53):
do so. So I kind of knew they were going
to kind of skew it in a way that wasn't
that was a bit biased. And I'm not here to
say that that Tyra's perfect, But I will be the
first person to say I rock hard body with Tyra
Limbanks that because we most likely all have positive things
to say and so you can't a documentary or either
(45:14):
they didn't call it to Kara, I believe.
Speaker 10 (45:17):
I'm not sure if they called Yah y'ah to do
it or not.
Speaker 5 (45:20):
But I tried to do an interview.
Speaker 18 (45:22):
I mean I reached out to your rep prior to
it and he said that you wanted to watch it
to Ya y'all's team and they said, no, she's not
doing the Top Model conversation me and so Car did
an interview. But one of the things that I saw,
because I saw you do the interview with with the
CBS Mornings, you won't see Yes Marnings and people were
upset about the feeling like you were defending some of
(45:43):
the things that happened in the interview, even though you
said you were horrified.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
How do you feel when you see that?
Speaker 18 (45:48):
Because I know you've said Tyra has done so much
for me, You're not going to get me to a
point where I'm doing what we see a lot of
the other girls.
Speaker 22 (45:54):
It's not more and so about how much she's done
for me, It's about how much Tyra has done as
a whole. I think that we as onlookers with media journalists.
I think it's very easy to look on the outside
end and to point and call a flaw, especially years
and eons later. If I was to look back at
(46:15):
Golden Girls the first three episodes, they had a very,
very cute and flamboyant gay man who absolutely disappeared after
episode four, where is said best friend?
Speaker 10 (46:26):
He's nowhere.
Speaker 22 (46:28):
The world wasn't ready for it. We don't talk about it,
we don't deal with it.
Speaker 16 (46:32):
Now.
Speaker 22 (46:32):
If we look at today's landscape about diversity and inclusion
and where we should be, look at Friends. It took
what eight seasons for them to get a black girlfriend,
and it was Ayisha. I mean, we can look back
at a lot of projects and think about where we
were and look at where we are, what we can affect,
and where we can go. But I think that we
(46:54):
don't do ourselves a proper service when we look at
something like Top Model, which was so historic, that was
a brainchild of a very audacious young woman that decided
to go out and do something great. Did she stumble
along the way. I don't see anybody at the Olympics.
Speaker 10 (47:10):
Who didn't stumble. We all stumble that it means to
heirs to be human.
Speaker 22 (47:14):
But I think that it's very easy to point a
finger it's but it's hard, and it's easy to say
all the people's flaws.
Speaker 10 (47:23):
But what good did she do? I know what good
she did.
Speaker 22 (47:25):
Winnie Harlowe was wearing the runways out. I have multiple businesses,
organization things that I do and despite what I've had
to hurtle over. I mean, Kerrie Washington had to hurtle
over and she didn't do top models, So I counted
all joy I'm not.
Speaker 5 (47:42):
I don't.
Speaker 22 (47:43):
I don't live in the woes of yesterday. We all
have our trauma. The beauty of me is that I've
healed from mine.
Speaker 5 (47:48):
Haven't talked to Tyer since the doc because she hasn't
said anything.
Speaker 22 (47:51):
I haven't talked to her since the documentary. I went
to lunch with mister Jay just the other day and
we chatted for a while.
Speaker 10 (48:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 22 (48:01):
I feel for everybody a part of the documentary because
they don't know what life is like to live under scrutiny.
You know, I know, y'all know, but most don't know
that are in the early two thousands, what it really
feels like to get troll daily.
Speaker 18 (48:21):
How's mister j holding up too, because now the conversation
I saw a publicist, what's her name, Katron. She made
a statement that said, basically, like he does this every
few years to try and get his name in the
media and throw things tivers away in a negative way.
Speaker 5 (48:36):
So bad about it.
Speaker 18 (48:37):
And that's been a conversation about because how their friendship ended,
and like, what are his intentions?
Speaker 5 (48:43):
You know, is he just telling his story?
Speaker 22 (48:44):
Watching the documentary I learned about the friendship. I had
absolutely no idea, per my understanding. These are, you know,
like besties like me and my best to be rock
hard to the core. So I had no idea about
the severance him wanting to leave and then sang and
then kind of maybe feeling like he might be blackball,
(49:04):
Like that was all big news to me. I think
it's I think it's sad. I'm a loyalist. I'm a
scorpio to the core. Unless you do something just absolutely egregious,
we're gonna rock this thing to the wills fall off.
And so to watch this all play out. He wrote
a book called The Bitch to model the Meltdown a
(49:26):
while ago. It's a novel, and I mean his experience
is his experience. I I use the word go smacked
because I.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
She said she was god smack. Why, I'm like, I
ain't never heard you talk like that. It felt like
you was on was it CBS this morning? I'm like,
why is she going to see this morning and coach
with you a little bit?
Speaker 10 (49:51):
No, I didn't coach it.
Speaker 3 (49:52):
I was.
Speaker 10 (49:52):
I was bamboos, but I was let as straight out.
I said that first first.
Speaker 22 (49:59):
Yeah, I said all of those things, But you also
have to realize, Charlevgne, I went to school for speech communication.
Speaker 10 (50:07):
Speech is actually what I do. Vernacular is my thing.
On the Ricky Smiley Morning Show, they called me some
little more sill like. I enjoy words.
Speaker 22 (50:20):
I enjoy syllables beyond monosyllabic English that were used to
I think we as people have a way of being
extremely expressive and a lot of things we do, and
I think that words should be one that.
Speaker 10 (50:33):
We exercise more oftenly.
Speaker 7 (50:35):
So I was.
Speaker 10 (50:37):
I couldn't find a word beyond a curse word.
Speaker 21 (50:40):
I was.
Speaker 10 (50:41):
I was in awe because to find out that you
were a part of a situation and had no clue,
it was just a bunch of a bunch of hibble giggle.
It was just it was and and and flabbergastari and
and I was just.
Speaker 5 (51:01):
Gibble, Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 10 (51:02):
Taking it back.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
You know, there's been a lot of conversation in recent
years about reality TV and mental health, like when you
look back, what did this show get wrong? Especially with
like young women?
Speaker 10 (51:14):
Oh so many?
Speaker 13 (51:15):
How long do we have?
Speaker 22 (51:18):
I think what what we forget is that A we
were all young. We were very very young, and we
were very impressionable. And though even ken Max says this
show gave us a promise of a dream and of
a career, I think there's somewhere inside of ourselves that
we knew that that wasn't really true.
Speaker 10 (51:39):
And not saying that.
Speaker 22 (51:41):
The business wasn't something that we could do, but there's
just no way that all of us were going to
end up being these huge, big stars. And so I
think that I prepared myself mentally early on, like if
this doesn't work out, what do I do?
Speaker 10 (51:57):
I wouldn't be gobsmacked. I was going back to college.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
Brutally honest.
Speaker 6 (52:02):
That bad, you know, because sometimes people need to hear
honesty in a place where people are being truthful to.
Speaker 22 (52:08):
The truthful and honesty and hurt are are all different things,
and you always have that girlfriend.
Speaker 10 (52:15):
That's like, oh girl, I was just keeping it real. No,
you were being very mean.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Sometimes people need to hear that.
Speaker 1 (52:20):
Or truth without compassion is cruelty.
Speaker 22 (52:21):
It is true, and and I think that we make
a great excuse to be honest while being extremely mean
and extremely hurtful. And so Janie Dickinson for an example,
I won the show, and I remember after winning, she
was like, thank God, now you can finally get your
nose job Jesus, and I quickly went to a mirror.
(52:43):
Didn't realize I had a nose issue at all. I
knew that I was too short, I knew I was androgynoust,
so they called me a man woman all these things.
Speaker 10 (52:52):
But now I'm oh yeah, as I was so scared
to cut my hair shorter and go blonde because they
came on the.
Speaker 5 (52:59):
Show, it was like your vibe was very like la cool,
like tomboyish.
Speaker 22 (53:03):
I mean, I'm still here in a suit and like,
that's just I have three brothers, That's how I get down.
Speaker 18 (53:08):
So you felt the way because that was your storyline
on the show, and they leaned into it, and you
were so confident on the show. I didn't know you
felt away about them calling you those I didn't know
I was mainly attracted them until I went to college.
I was walking down the quads and said, god.
Speaker 10 (53:24):
Damn, trying to read. And I remember saying, is that a.
Speaker 22 (53:31):
Good thing or a bad thing? And he also said,
if I ate a little bit more, I'll be fine.
Speaker 7 (53:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 22 (53:38):
Yet, but I didn't really have an idea of like
what aesthetics were and what men were into and all
that stuff until school. My confidence lied in the fact
that I knew who I was. My parents were very militant.
The computer room was exactly that because we read Encyclopaedia Britannic,
because every single day, book report, every single day. To
(53:59):
be to to I had to study, show myself approved,
like all all the time, straight A's, Dean's less scholarships.
Speaker 12 (54:06):
That was That was me.
Speaker 18 (54:08):
So the nose job then like that conversation, so you
took you looked in the mirror, and then what happens
following all the stuff.
Speaker 22 (54:15):
I definitely had a male complex about my nose. Couldn't
figure out. I didn't see what was wrong, so I
didn't know what to make right, which was the hardest part.
Like you know, like say, like your hair is cut,
but you got a little piece right here, like you know,
you need to cut that piece.
Speaker 10 (54:29):
I didn't know what to do. Your hair is bombed.
Don't listen to him. You can grow hair.
Speaker 5 (54:37):
So there's that.
Speaker 22 (54:39):
Okay, it's my choice, not by force.
Speaker 5 (54:45):
I know that's right. Last time you were here, we
get into all that because you got some updates too.
Speaker 22 (54:50):
We do have some up dates, but we want to
talk about getting push off this plane because said not
really wanted to hear.
Speaker 10 (54:57):
Well because they lean into each other.
Speaker 22 (54:59):
Yeah, so last time I was here, I was kind
of giving you an update on love and where I
was at. I was not in the most positive place,
which is this is one of the few stops I
made because I knew that I would reach all my
people and that you guys would hander me with a
nice glove.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
Kid gloves shed sluss.
Speaker 10 (55:17):
No, I wasn't kid gloves, y'all. I had a couple
of little one too.
Speaker 22 (55:20):
But you know I had Lauren over here or so
I knew I was strip. But this movie, it reminds
me of a lot of spaces that a lot of
us Black women are in.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
Women plane and survive.
Speaker 22 (55:32):
So push off a plane and Survives about a woman
named Jane, who is in her late thirties early forties,
serial entrepreneur, all about her business, all about her money.
She owns three different hair salons. Dore's extremely well for herself.
The one thing she has never focused on is love.
So finally you get to that age and you're like
(55:54):
late thirties, early forties, You're like, maybe I want a man,
maybe I want kids, maybe I want all these things.
And so she goes on the dating gaps and all
the stuff, and she's trying to find love and she
meets a guy Tyler Lepley cool yes Cole for this movie.
And this is not colon I' first rendezvous. We did
a film before called Buried Alive and survived. So for
(56:16):
whatever reason, I love being.
Speaker 10 (56:18):
Tortured by him.
Speaker 7 (56:19):
I do well.
Speaker 10 (56:20):
See, you know that's the black woman in me.
Speaker 22 (56:22):
We're gonna survive. You're gonna knock us down, but we're
gonna get up. And so get pushed off of plane.
His weird hobby is that he likes skydiving, and instead
of being a prude, I like pickleball. So instead of
playing pickleball, decide the skydive, which was the best and
worst decision of My Life. You have to tune into
it on Saturday, February twenty eighth on Lifetime eight pm,
(56:44):
seventh Central. It's going down. Tyler Lepley and I back
in love again.
Speaker 4 (56:50):
But I feel like the movie is a lesson about
trusting someone too soon as an accomplished woman, right.
Speaker 22 (56:56):
But see the question truly is just when it is
too soon? Because there is one of my favorite scenes
in the movie is he asks me, uh to stand
on this this this ledge and fall backward? And you
ever seen that like that trust fall? Yes, I ain't
no way I'm falling backward. And we didn't have stunts,
we didn't have a pat down. And I've worked with
(57:18):
Tyler before. I'm a little denser than I look, so
I think I'm a little.
Speaker 10 (57:22):
Heavier and he caught me.
Speaker 22 (57:24):
And it's that feeling of trust, that letting go and
knowing that someone has you and not because you can
feel it, but because you don't fall. And I think
that is what she's searching for, that high of jumping
and not actually hitting the ground.
Speaker 10 (57:44):
Do you have that they can?
Speaker 7 (57:46):
You know?
Speaker 22 (57:46):
My wedding song was that Leela James has a song
catch Me. I'm falling for you, and it speaks about
I'm ready, I'm about to jump now. I need you
down there because I do not want to fall, but
I do want to take this jump. And so I
think this is what this movie is about. And honestly,
sometimes you get it wrong and sometimes you get it right.
(58:07):
But the biggest part that I took away from it
is that most of the time you're going to get
it wrong. Ninety nine percent of the people you date
you will not be with forever. So get back on
that horse.
Speaker 10 (58:20):
Try it again.
Speaker 4 (58:21):
What about the reverse psychology and all the tactics, the manipulation.
Speaker 10 (58:25):
And that's not your guy. If any of that stuff exists,
that's not your person. No, but see Cole he he.
Speaker 22 (58:35):
The flags were there a lot of times. The flags
are there. You have you have sage council. Your homegirl
is like, friend, I am not feeling this.
Speaker 10 (58:44):
You know this is crazy. My sister in this.
Speaker 22 (58:46):
Movie she knew it. But she also was so close
to me. None of my relationships worked out. She used
to bet on my dates like this ain't gonna work.
Speaker 10 (58:56):
Got twenty dollars. He's you know, he's a dud. So
there's that too.
Speaker 22 (59:01):
You just have to believe in yourself, trust your instincts,
and keep your friends close because when he doesn't work out,
she will still be there.
Speaker 5 (59:09):
So you're where you are right now in life.
Speaker 18 (59:11):
In real life, it does parallel because I know you
and Mike got back together, and y'all are together, and
that is your forever.
Speaker 5 (59:17):
We saw the like you know, well, he.
Speaker 22 (59:18):
Will always be my forever because we have children together.
We have three amazing kids, and there is no life
without him since we've had them, so we're always forever.
I think that since the divorce, and because I'm not
very public and not a first strap kind of girl,
and you know, a lot of pictures up there, the
(59:39):
world's wondering, like what's going on, and we are at
a beautiful place. I think the first time the world's
aways together again was in essence. I was down there
hosting the main stage, and he was free.
Speaker 5 (59:51):
And everybody was excited for you.
Speaker 22 (59:52):
Also, because we love black love, we love love, especially
family unity. You know, Mike was adopted, and so when
it comes to what family looks like and what DNA
looks like and titles, we don't find ourselves too caught
up on that. I think that that's what kind of
hurt to begin with. Anybody that's dated for a long
time then got married. You realize things changed, but nothing
(01:00:14):
really changed but the title. But now you feel the
pressure to change things. All that stuff is gone. All
that's gone, and I am the beautiful mother of his
amazing children. He is amazing father to our children, and
we have a great relationship.
Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
Real quick, What was the hardest thing about filming the movie?
Speaker 22 (01:00:31):
Because you have and you okay, so the hardest thing
about filming this film? And shout out to Lifetime because
Lifetime is not going to give you a little stage
and make it pretty.
Speaker 10 (01:00:41):
They want to get as gritty as possible. So two scenes.
Speaker 22 (01:00:46):
One my drowning scene, because you can't fake drown Yeah,
so you have to really drown. So the drowning scene
was absolutely insane. And then being pushed off the plane
and the falling and the debris and being under oh
my goodness to special.
Speaker 10 (01:01:07):
No it was real deal.
Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
No, no, no, you mean they sent us the green
screen is stilling it on second Oh it won't be.
Speaker 5 (01:01:18):
Saturday, can't get you.
Speaker 10 (01:01:20):
What's what happened?
Speaker 22 (01:01:23):
Charlemagne the god you happen to have the luxury of
getting the screenair prior to so there are certain VFX
and if you could appreciate the writer strike that we
just had, there's a lot of AI and VFX that
go into production now. So you got to see some
of the first cut, gotch and the world will see
the final cut on February the twenty eighth, on this
(01:01:46):
good Saturday. Get your popcorn, get your girls, grab your friends,
whatever your drink or non drink of choice is, get ready.
Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
I'm like, if an't worried about doing press right now
because she won't get through the.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Well, definitely check it out.
Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Was the star earlier when when the producers of American
Next Time, I don't know what they were doing. And
that's why I say, you can't stop a star from
being a star, regardless of what the platform is that
you know causes them.
Speaker 10 (01:02:12):
To take one to know one.
Speaker 15 (01:02:14):

Speaker 18 (01:02:19):
Hundred million shut up period, Jesus, I love a world exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:02:27):

Don't require just because he told you know, because I
got what I need to get out and he mad now,
so it's fine And.
Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
It looked just like his happy face.

Speaker 5 (01:03:04):
Before we start the hour.
Speaker 18 (01:03:05):
I wanted to update so last latest I mentioned Chris
Bosh wrote about his experience in his book, but he
actually wrote about on his substack. He still doesn't tell
you what happened to him, like what the cause was,
but that's on his substack, which he has linked on
his Instagram. Yeah, didn't want to update that there. Okay,
so let's get into lamar Oldham. So lamar Odam sat
down with Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter and on their
(01:03:28):
Cousins podcast and they're having a conversation about like his
journey in basketball, but also about his addiction or previous addictions,
which lamar Odam is very open about, and he says
he loving drugs messed up his career.
Speaker 5 (01:03:41):
Let's take a listen to lamar Odom.
Speaker 23 (01:03:43):
Keep it real, ch I love I love drugs. You're
talking to a real at hard drugs. I mean, b
I want smiff cocaine. If I ain't got to play ball,
let me, I don't have no responsibility. Did you do
drugs while you were playing?
Speaker 7 (01:03:54):
Nah?
Speaker 23 (01:03:55):
This was summertime. I did though, Yeah, yeah on front summertime.
So not doing No, I had some great so saying
summers dude. You know, if you get caught for sniff
and cocaine, that's spend that's going to be crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
You think that had an effect on your.
Speaker 8 (01:04:09):
Overall how good?
Speaker 7 (01:04:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 23 (01:04:11):
Yeah, one hundred. I should be where y'all at in
the fame. No, you feel what I'm saying. You great talent.
I had people come to me before before I made
it to the NBA. Listen, bro, I was like thirteen
years old like that, Yo, you a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
I respect Lamo Old him so much. The reason I
respect Lamo Old Him so much because smart people learn
from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the mistakes
of others. He is so open about all his his
his the hurdles that he had, the overcoming life. He's
so open about his drug use. He's so open about
how it impacted him. You can learn so much just
listening from them. You can learn what not to do.
Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
That's what I'm learned from himself though. That's the main thing.
Speaker 24 (01:04:45):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:04:45):
Yeah, I think he's trying.
Speaker 18 (01:04:47):
I mean he's yeah, Yeah, I think addiction is something
that you know, you got to continue to like work
on physically by doing things like rehabbing. Remember he had
checked into that rehair program. I just saw a report
that he had checked out after thirty days. And the
reason why he even checked in it is because he
just wanted to make sure he was sitting on the
path he needed to be on after the whole d
u Y situation.
Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
Everybody the way, if you beat, if you, if you
as long as you ain't smoking the crack, no more
leaving the Coca loa, And okay, we don't want you
having a drink catching Duys either, but if you can,
if you're beating the hard stuff, you gotta give him
some points.
Speaker 6 (01:05:18):
But it's always there's always a possibility that he can
go back, right because they always say that the smaller
stuff is a gateway to the biggest.
Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
But I never smoke crack. I've been cracked.
Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
I've never had no type of drugs, cocaine, none of that,
non nose is clear.
Speaker 7 (01:05:32):
What was that?
Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
I get what, I get what you saying, though, you know,
you hope you learned from himself, because he was reminiscent,
like it sounded like he was you know what I'm saying,
like he missed it a little bit, you know, like
he was liking it a little bit, because he did
say I had some some some pretty good coke hummers,
and we.
Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
Ain't never did it. I smoked coke once in a
blunt with some weed, but I didn't know it. I
didn't know it, but I might do it again by accident.
But listen to me. But we've never smoked cracks, so
we don't know. When he described it, it might make
his mouth water. How you know, ain't nobody have a
smoke cray.
Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
I haven't wanted you to confirm what well I mean.
Speaker 18 (01:06:08):
I do want to mention him going to that rehab
center is also leading it to him doing some work
where it's going to help other people. So Lamar is
starting to work on a company now called Helio dot
Co and it's an AI powered nationwide search platform that
is designed to connect people to every type of wellness
and treatment center in the country.
Speaker 5 (01:06:25):
So he's he's been trying to figure that out.
Speaker 18 (01:06:26):
As well to helping other people because he knows the
journey isn't like linear, it's something that you got to
keep doing.
Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Lu keep telling your story, okay, because him telling this
story is such a it's going to help so many
other story.
Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
But I just want to make sure he's okay. Like,
I don't want to see another duhy. I don't want
to see another problem another is shot. I love the
fact that he tells a story, but I just want
to make sure he gets to help that he needs
because we.
Speaker 8 (01:06:46):
Need that brother around.
Speaker 5 (01:06:47):
I get you well.
Speaker 18 (01:06:48):
And a real quick update before we wrap up the hour.
So remember that hunted Hunter College professor Allison Friedman that
you gave Dounky of the Day too for the racist
remarks that she made on that zoom call. Yeah, so
there's been a little update here. So there was a
letter posted to the college's website from the president and
professor of the psychology department that let people know that
they have after their investigation, they are now placing Alison
(01:07:09):
on leave. Now they don't specify whether it's a pay
leave or not definitely, but they say that they're placing
her on leave and they stated, as I shared earlier,
they're investigating this matter under the university's applical applicable conduct
and non discrimination policies. And how ironic that this is
happening during Black History Month in this call was to
(01:07:29):
talk about that Black History Month and anti black systematic
racism and education.
Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
You better blame it on coporate. What's that thing? Corporate?
Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
Get it?
Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Corporate corp crack. I think people, I think if we
understood that more people are on cocaine, then we would,
you know, have a little bit more grace, a lot
more people. Don't be saying that. A lot of people
don't talk about the cocaine.
Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Yeah, but they on it for a reason.
Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
I mean, nay, if you want cocaine, because when you're
taking it, because you want to take it.
Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
So you know what I'm saying. When you when you
hear stories like this woman Alice, You're like, what the
hell was wrong her? She didn't know, she wasn't on
mute talking all crazy like that. She probably was high
as half, but she.
Speaker 5 (01:08:12):
Shouldn't have did that and got on zoom. That's what
I'm saying. You you got to know when to take
the coke, like I But.
Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
I'm saying I wouldn't take the coke before I had
a zoom.
Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Let me give you example. I come in here and
I know just be high, so I expect, but just
to say high things.
Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
And marijuana high.
Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
Yeah, I don't put it out there like that because
the niggas right.
Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Yeah, because you can't.
Speaker 8 (01:08:37):
You can't just go for crack the coke.
Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Did you like when you know that somebody hi, you
deal with them accordingly, or when you know somebody got
an ailment, you deal with them according was.
Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
A party drive? I think you talk. You take that part.
That's I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
I know crack is fried cocaine because you know black people,
we love the fried things. So somebody at one white
decided to fry and here came this nice piece of rock.
Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Jesus Christ, that's the latest, Lady.
Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
That's actually funny, Yo, some deep fried coke.
Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Just crack.
Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
We give you your donk.
Speaker 7 (01:09:11):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Man, I need Bill Gates to come to the front
of the Congress because I've been thinking about this story
all morning. This man is worth one hundred and seven
billion dollars and he just confessed that he cheated with
two Russian women. We gotta discuss.
Speaker 6 (01:09:24):
Okay, we have to discuss, all right, and then after
like that, I'm just just you know, all right, just

type of advice, you can get on the phone lunch

Speaker 7 (01:09:59):
Me the.
Speaker 17 (01:10:01):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Donk Here today for Thursday, February twenty six goals to
one of the most financially wealthy men walking God's green Earth,
and that is William Henry Gates, the Third commonly known
as Bill. Yes, Bill Gates. Bill is worth like one
hundred and seven billion dollars. Okay, but he is proven
that he's just as basic as the rest of us,
all right, No matter how smart, how rich you are,
(01:10:28):
you are not immune from bad judgment and the love
of poom boom okay. Bill has been having a rough
few weeks all right, ever since his name popped up
in the Epstein Files. Now a couple of weeks ago,
my guy Andrew Shultz, you know, I do a brillion
of this podcast with my man Andrew Shultz, he said
something about Bill Gates being in the Epstein Files that
stuck with me. He said, who are they trying to protect?
That they would give up Bill Gates in the first
(01:10:50):
round of Epstein file releases. They didn't waste no time
letting Bill Gates Epstein files fly. Okay, all the other
names that were redacted, why not the name of the
one of the world's wealth healthiest men. Well, there really
might be something to that, because Bill is doing what
we call throwing yourself on the mercy at the court.
Because this week Bill decided to apologize to his staff
(01:11:11):
for his history with Jeffrey Epstein, and he admitted that
having not one, but two a fast with Russian women
while married to Melinda Gates. Let's go to ABC News
for the report.
Speaker 25 (01:11:21):
Please tonight, Microsoft co founder Bill Gates revealing more damaging
information about his personal life and admitting to a series
of stunning lapses and judgments, and building a relationship with
convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 8 (01:11:35):
Today the fallout growing.
Speaker 25 (01:11:36):
As Gates was pressed by employees at a Gates Foundation
town hall, he acknowledged that his relationship with Epstein began
after Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor, and he
claimed that he, one of the wealthiest men in the world,
did not properly research Epstein's background that would have revealed
his sordid past.
Speaker 8 (01:11:56):
Knowing what I know now makes it, you know, one
hundred times worse case.
Speaker 25 (01:12:00):
Acknowledged his association probably helped Epstein rehabilitate his image, and
he revealed other damning specifics, saying the men flew together
on a private jet and that they hung out in Germany, France,
New York, and Washington. Gates did acknowledge he had affairs
with two Russian women, and Gates also addressed these photos,
saying that we're pitchers Epstein asked him to take with
(01:12:22):
his assistance.
Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
This story is hilarius to me. Okay, first of all,
black men don't cheat, but wealthy white ones do. And
this wealthy white one said I did some cheating.
Speaker 7 (01:12:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
This is what Bill Gates said. I did some cheating,
but don't worry. It wasn't illicit. Illicit okay the pure
Webster's Dictionary Webster's Dictionary definition of illicit is forbidden by law,
rules are customs. Bill, you was married, Okay. Cheating on
your wife is technically illegal in several states. Now it's
(01:12:52):
usually not in force, but adult he is actually classified
as a felony in some states. In New York, did
you know, adulter is classified as a Class B misdemeanor
that is punishable by up to ninety days in jail
in a five hundred dollars fine. But beyond the criminal
aspect of it, cheating on your wife is considered illicit
because it violates the fundamental, mutually agreed upon vowels that
(01:13:13):
we make.
Speaker 8 (01:13:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
We talk about exclusivity, we talk about trust, we talk
about fidelity. Cheating is illicit, okay. It is deemed socially, morally,
and often religiously forbidden. It disrupts the foundation of the
family structure. And that's why it usually leaves the divorce
because I can't trust you. All right, Now we know
why Bill and Melinda got divorced Because Bill was out
here cheating. But it wasn't illicit, Okay, my brothers, All
(01:13:39):
cheating is illicit, unless, of course, you and your wife
have an understanding. And that's what I don't get. You know, Bill,
why didn't you just tell your wife you wanted to
see other women?
Speaker 7 (01:13:48):
All right?
Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
You worth one hundred and seven billion dollars. You never
know what you put on the table. You know that
she might be okay with all right? From what I
saw you confess to they weren't underage girls. Knowledge that
he had affairs with a Russian bridge player who he
met at bridge events, and one with a nuclear physicist
who he met through business activities. What the hell were
(01:14:11):
they doing at this town hall? Were they playing true
for their okay? Bill, why were you confessing this to
your foundation like it was some sort of corporate performance review?
And why did you admit the cheating on your spouse
with named nationalities and career descriptions. You said this like
you was listing your business accomplishments. Russian women, bridge player,
(01:14:33):
Russian woman, nuclear physicists, Bill, Like, don't play with me.
I wasn't out here soliciting horse. Okay, he would never
that would be illicit. He was out here giving that
Microsoft penis to a bridge player, and he was giving
that little rocket to a nuclear physicist, but it wasn't ilicious, Okay.
Word of advice, if you're going to confess, just confess
and say I'm sorry. Okay, don't tell me you did
(01:14:55):
something wrong, but it wasn't that wrong, all right. Saying
I did some cheating, but don't worry it wasn't illicted
is like saying you robbed the bank ethically, okay, because
even if you robbed the bank defeat a bunch of
starving kids, I might understand, but you still committed the crime.
Right not to mention saying hanging with Jeffrey Epstein was
a mistake, a typo, was a mistake, Okay. Hanging with
Jeffrey Epstein could be considered a felony adjacent lifestyle choice.
(01:15:18):
All right. This whole story is just a reminder that
money doesn't buy morals. It just buys better lawyers and
bs explanations, by the way, explanations that we don't even need.
I want to know what do they have on Bill
Gates that he is feeling the need to confess these
things and get in front of these things because he's
the only one doing it. Okay, at least here in America,
(01:15:39):
they've been some powerful people who have resigned from their jobs,
Like I read this morning that Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary,
he resigned from Harvard Richard Axel, a Nobel Prize winning
professor at Columbia University. He announced that he was stepping
down as co director of the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior
Institute because of his connection to Epstein. But they not
(01:15:59):
confessing inessing to any illicit behavior that we've seen yet.
So why is Bill Gates, who's worth one hundred and
seven billion dollars, deciding to fall on this sword? Inquiring
minds would like to know, also, Bill Gates, And this
is the moral to the story for everyone. Are you
apologizing or justifying your behavior? Because the sincere apology requires
taking full ownership of your actions without using But our
(01:16:22):
excuses are telling people you did something but it wasn't illicit. Okay,
justifications and validate the apology. Just focus on acknowledging the
impact of your actions, Okay, showing empathy and committing the change,
all right. The only time I care about justifications for
bad behavior is if you're gonna tell me you was
on crack, Okay, Other than that, keep it to yourself.
(01:16:46):
Please give William Henry Gates the third commonly known as
Bill Gates, the biggest he Hull talk about. It was
a lapse in judgment. No, you wanted some other cheeks.
I just don't understand why. Man, I can't say he
wanted some other cheeks. Sit down with your wife and
have the conversation. Because desire is that strong. If you
(01:17:06):
need to do it that bad, just go telling you
this is what you want to do. Have a discussion
about it.
Speaker 5 (01:17:13):
I ain't gonna lets rosh the Kudo bridge player, a physicist.
Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
Got to see him. It looks good on paper. I
got to see him.

him on paper.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
Yes, I thought it was an instrument.
Speaker 5 (01:17:36):
A bridge player, a Russian bridge player. That sounds like
somebody in a band.
Speaker 8 (01:17:40):
Is why.
Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
No, this is why we want to know people on crack.
Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Just let it go.
Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
No, you understand what I'm saying. I need to know
what people are high. That's all I need to know.

Speaker 7 (01:19:16):
Thank you? Thank you?
Speaker 20 (01:19:18):
Me and the dad.
Speaker 14 (01:19:19):
One of the baby was three months.
Speaker 20 (01:19:20):
We recently slit up. It was kind of a shock
because we were, in my opinion, we never had really
had any problems. We were like a power couple.
Speaker 14 (01:19:30):
We did business together, we were ready to.
Speaker 20 (01:19:32):
Get married, and then at three months I found out
he was severely cheating on me throughout my entire pregnancy,
my post pardom sleeping with different women. After I found out,
we still live in the same house, but I figured
he was still he was still doing the same.
Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
Stuff he was.
Speaker 20 (01:19:51):
It's like he didn't care. It just was a shock
out of nowhere. I come from a two parent household.
My grandparents have always been married, and I I have
no idea how to navigate this single motherhood. I tried
intentionally not your single mom, but I am how do
I raise a little boy?
Speaker 14 (01:20:09):
What are you?
Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
Are you just living by yourself or you know, because
you said y'all live together and you still living with him?
Speaker 7 (01:20:16):
No.
Speaker 20 (01:20:17):
We recently split about a month ago. He moved into
his own apartment and I bought my first house.
Speaker 5 (01:20:23):
Yeah, and you're just trying to figure out how to
do it by yourself.
Speaker 20 (01:20:25):
How to do it by myself. I don't come from
I got you.
Speaker 5 (01:20:30):
Are your parents still around or.
Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Still you know?
Speaker 20 (01:20:33):
Yeah, they're a great support.
Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
Yeah that's what I was. That's what I was getting to. Okay,
So as long as you have a village, you know,
it will get easier. But you know, I'm sorry, I'm
I apologize about, you know, your unfortunate situation with your
son's dad, But yeah, you have to you gotta. It's
on you and your village now, you know, like, yeah,
you have a you work with your schedule, Like what
(01:20:58):
do you need help with? Like what specifically do you
need help with?
Speaker 7 (01:21:02):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 20 (01:21:03):
I'm a realtor and I also do some flippant houses
and things for my suss super busy, but sometimes I
feel like I can't give my child the full I
give them attention, but I can't give them the full
what I want, you know, I'm saying, and then also
having to he goes with his dad. Sometimes it's just
(01:21:26):
it's just not the ideal parenthood that I wanted.
Speaker 4 (01:21:30):
Okay, So it's not really that you need help parenting.
You're still trying to get over not being a family
with your son's dad, because this is not what you
plan for. That's just what that sounds like, you know,
cause you sound like you're a great mom.
Speaker 5 (01:21:43):
You know, you work, you do have a.
Speaker 4 (01:21:44):
Village, your parents help you out. You're very busy. So no,
you can't be with your child twenty four seven. But
no parent, you know, you know, with some exceptions, can
be around their children twenty four to seven. It just
sounds like, you know, you're going through the motions and
it's not going to be easy getting past that because
you found out not only was he cheating on you,
you know when the baby was here, he was cheating
(01:22:05):
on you while you were pregnant. So that's a lot
of hurt to get over. But Tom is gonna have
to deal with that, you know. Tom is the only
way to get through that. You know, I'm sorry.
Speaker 20 (01:22:15):
Even after the baby came out, he's super apologetic and
he wants to be a family again.
Speaker 7 (01:22:21):
And do this.
Speaker 20 (01:22:21):
But I don't want that, this want I don't want that,
but I do want a family.
Speaker 7 (01:22:27):
I want my son to have both parents.
Speaker 14 (01:22:28):
So it's just really confusing.
Speaker 4 (01:22:30):
Yeah, it's confusing, and I understand you do want that,
but don't allow yourself to fall for you know, to
fall back into that trap again just because he's showing
that he wants you now, you know what I mean.
He probably had time to reflect on whatever he did
and you know, things like that. But still you took
him back before and he did the same thing again.
You know, I know, I know you want your family,
(01:22:52):
but you can't. You can't force it out of desperation,
you know what I mean, just just to have it.

You ain't gotta yea hear.

but shout out to you guys. You guys are amazing.
I love you guys so much. Every day I watch
you guys. I'm I also want to say Seluca Charlaman
love you man. You're what this community needs and we
need more people like you out here.
Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
I love you brother, Thank you man.
Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
What's your question for?
Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
Jess bro So?
Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
I actually just rest night. I actually got a message
from one of my old homemade she's around the same
age group as I am. I'm twenty five. I currently
do a YouTube channel where I just do recording and stuff,
but I actually love doing it. I've been doing it
for years. So she and I met around twenty twenty five.
She's around the same age as I am an age group.
(01:24:12):
So we met on playing video games on like Discord
and everything, and she was really sweet. She stood up
for me a lot of times, and we became We
became very close friends. We became hit it off very easily.
Did we get into a couple of arguments, yeah, but
like it was nothing like disrespectful. We all were cool first.
But what happened was a situations when a homie or
(01:24:35):
some weird old dude. After three days knowing her was
acting really weird and I stood up for her. I
basically got kicked out of a group of like millions
of people for her. And then after that, after doing that,
because I showed my law teim I was willing to
have her bag, she switched up on me and she
started acting crazy like she was mad, toxic, overly aggressive,
(01:24:55):
was just overly complaining and everything. And after a point,
I was just like, I'm done.
Speaker 14 (01:25:00):
I just could not handle it.
Speaker 3 (01:25:01):
And looking back on it, definitely, I definitely seen the
red flags coming from a mile away, and I feel
like I should have left so heer.
Speaker 14 (01:25:07):
I really should have left doer.
Speaker 3 (01:25:09):
And I think the problem was she hunged around the
wrong people, like she had some really bad friends she
would go with, and I just really did not agree
with those friends and I didn't personally mess with them
at all. Yeah, So she recently hit up and I
said trying to talk about she was sorry, she took
accountability and she wanted to be friends. And I don't
(01:25:30):
know what I want to do because I forgiven her spiritually,
but I'm not sure. I don't want to be a
friend again because that's the last thing I want to do,
is thing used to go.
Speaker 7 (01:25:37):
Back the way they was.
Speaker 4 (01:25:38):
Yeah, I totally do understand. People hang out. You know,
people get mixed up with the wrong people and they
you know, they're influenced by certain people that they hang around.
But maybe something happened where she realized like, nah, maybe
she maybe she finally realized that she was hanging around
with the wrong people and being influenced by, you know,
some of their behaviors, and she realized that she lost
(01:26:00):
a good friend. I mean, y'all, y'all weren't together, right,
y'all just friends.
Speaker 14 (01:26:04):
We weren't dating anything.
Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
I mean like at one point they did a crush.
Speaker 5 (01:26:08):
On her, like her, and she had no more.
Speaker 4 (01:26:11):
Okay, don't say it like that, because you do like
a little bit. I can tell still, But like you
know what I'm saying, like I'm.
Speaker 7 (01:26:19):
Glad to be single. I wouldn't listen.
Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
I gotta say single for my mental health.
Speaker 5 (01:26:23):
I got you, I got you.
Speaker 7 (01:26:24):
No I hear that.
Speaker 4 (01:26:25):
I hear that, brother, But noah, I think, yeah, I
think just give us some grace because she, like I said,
she may have realized, like you know what, I lost
out on a good friend, you know, being a clown,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (01:26:38):
So and she learned from that experience. It's nothing wrong
with giving a chance.
Speaker 4 (01:26:42):
Now you approach the situation, you know what a little
guard up, you know, but and then you know, just
gaining her trust, if she going to do what she
need to do to gain your trust back, I wouldn't say.
You know, good friends are hard to come by, your
so don't don't throw it away. Just give it, you know,
give her a little chance. She hit you up, you
like that, you had a little crush, See what's up
with it?
Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
Yeah, I definitely will think that that does help because
I definitely have other homies still who's done some experiences,
and if this was some other person I know about
I'm talking, it would have been a hard No, I
actually get a hard note to somebody else because I
know this person. I know they're not going to be
turning around. So yeah, that definitely does help.
Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
Yeah, definitely definitely, you know, just just approach with caution,
but give another chance.
Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
It's cool.
Speaker 7 (01:27:26):
Okay, thank you so much, No proud for y'all.

but he has been in a relationship. But I don't
know where it is today, but they've been in a
relationship for like over a decade. It's someoneman named Jessica
Caban really.
Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
According to reports, okay, I mean right, just the way
you are, don't mean you can be out here given
a romantic advice. First question, you're right, then my second
question is how when are you gonna marry you?
Speaker 21 (01:30:52):
Will?
Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
They're gonna block you immediately, block immediately.
Speaker 7 (01:30:59):

Speaker 5 (01:31:00):
I'm seeing that their breakup rumors too with them.
Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
Just a positive.
Speaker 8 (01:31:09):
Definitely checked it out.
Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
Continue on, yes, all right now.
Speaker 4 (01:31:13):
Other music news you should ask, I always go find
the answer, just keep just keep going.
Speaker 18 (01:31:17):
And other music news shifting gears again. So Teddy Riley,
So Teddy Rally. He was here on the Breakfast Club
when we talked about this too, but he sat down
with the Weird in Miami podcast and talked about, you know,
his book and some of his stories that he's telling
in his new book. And one of the conversations that
they've posted the full interview wasn't out as of last night,
was a conversation about Keith Sweat and Teddy Riley says
(01:31:38):
he was not paid at all for the music he
did with Keith Sweat.
Speaker 5 (01:31:40):
Let's take a listen Keith Sweating myself. You know I
never got paid for the album Crazy. My name is
on there right, Yeah, so somebody going pay still to
this day, and you never got paid.
Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
So what happened like that?
Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
You holler at him like yo with my check?
Speaker 24 (01:31:57):
I did, and he told me he never got paid neither,
which I find it hard to believe. He never told
the truth about me, how we worked in the studio
and what I came up with.
Speaker 8 (01:32:08):
You know, it's so crazy.
Speaker 24 (01:32:10):
The first hundred maybe two hundred thousand records of his album,
My Name wasn't on the album. When you trust in
the person who calls you their little brother, trust no one,
trust no one.
Speaker 5 (01:32:20):
Now that's really your business and stand on it. Did
y'all relationship kind of you no deteriorate my brother.
Speaker 24 (01:32:26):
I'm a forgiving child of God.
Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
I feel like keeps just still, like yo, man, it's
one of brothers. First of all, I love when you
dive in the unk news. Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (01:32:37):
I'm trying to get to the the heck the way
you were the hat aside, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
We've had this conversation with Keith hand Teddy though.
Speaker 6 (01:32:43):
Yeah, Teddy was up here and spoke about this, and
in that conversation it seems like he was mad at
that Keeps sweat.
Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
But then he said It wasn't keep swest fault. It
was the label's fault, but he definitely seemed like he
was a little upset with keeping about it.
Speaker 18 (01:32:54):
I have Teddy Riley on the Breakfast Club if you
guys want to listen to it. He does kind of
say the same thing. But to your point, env, this
is a different toning. You guys want to listen to that, sure,
let's take a listen to Teddy on the Breakfast Lub.
Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
Absolutely a lot of my business wasn't done.
Speaker 21 (01:33:06):
You know.
Speaker 24 (01:33:06):
Example, I did the Key Sweat album. I've only made
fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 8 (01:33:10):
From that for This Day to Jesus.
Speaker 24 (01:33:12):
But I got the publishing, but I never got my royalties.
No one never looked out for me. So now we're
going through different channels because you can't, you know, have
a person's name on the album and as a producer
and not have a contract. Thank God, I know the
business now.
Speaker 18 (01:33:30):
Yeah, so I don't. I don't know what has progressed,
but the tone did seem a bit different. I did
try and reach out to Keith Sweat too, didn't hear
anything back.
Speaker 5 (01:33:37):
So I know that money gone out.
Speaker 1 (01:33:41):
That money gone. That's that money for years.
Speaker 6 (01:33:45):
But if the record label has the record label has
the responsibile money gone?
Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
That money been in a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
That label is a billion dollar company. I'm sure you.
Speaker 6 (01:33:53):
Legally, they're gonna have to find out. Yeah, I mean, now,
if it's Keith and them, that's something different.
Speaker 5 (01:33:59):
But if the label got it.
Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Keep saying he had and get paid either, So it
was the it was, wasn't it the brother who passed away?
Speaker 8 (01:34:07):
So I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:34:08):
He ain't take it with him.
Speaker 2 (01:34:10):
So I've spent I's gone.
Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
Somebody in the ad man all right gone.
Speaker 5 (01:34:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 18 (01:34:17):
The full interview is still not out on the podcast
I looked on We're in Miami, So I'll wait to
hear back and hopefully we'll hear back from Keith Sweat
too for that that update, and we'll be back with
more in another latest.
Speaker 5 (01:34:26):
Shout out the We in Miami podcast.
Speaker 23 (01:34:28):
I like them.
Speaker 5 (01:34:28):
I listened to this of all the time. Yeah, that's
really consistent.
Speaker 18 (01:34:32):
Now, another conversation Ammon Smerd He sat down with Shannon
Sharp on Club Shah and they had a very in
depth conversation, but one a big part of the conversation
is going viral.
Speaker 5 (01:34:43):
Picking up right now?
Speaker 18 (01:34:44):
Is he mind talking about his father who passed away
not too long ago, and he could barely get through
the conversation, which was at the beginning of the conversation.
Speaker 5 (01:34:52):
Uh, when this was brought up. Let's take a listen
to your mom talking about the last conversation he had
with his dad.
Speaker 7 (01:34:57):
Do you remember the last conversation you had with your father?
Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (01:35:01):
He was, uh, my bad dog.
Speaker 21 (01:35:05):
He liked when I liked when I wear a shirt
and tie stuff. He always got dressed for the office
every day. He would wear a shirt, shirt and tie.
Last cowbo. He just was like, man, you look good
at them. Uh, and them suits. Man, Like, I like
that you're taking jobs now that you're wearing that suit.
And then he told me, don't come home finished filming
because we was filming the podcast.
Speaker 8 (01:35:28):
He got to go in the hospital.
Speaker 7 (01:35:29):
Be right back.
Speaker 8 (01:35:30):
Did you know your father was that sick?
Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
I mean, I mean I knew he had to go
in the hospital. I thought he just had some like
you know.
Speaker 8 (01:35:36):
People get older. Yeah, yeah, he was here.
Speaker 7 (01:35:39):
I probably just hugging.
Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
Sit this lap like.
Speaker 8 (01:35:45):
M father.
Speaker 5 (01:35:48):
His dad passed away.
Speaker 18 (01:35:49):
He had announceid his dad passed away back in October
of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (01:35:53):
Now we have to wrap up.
Speaker 18 (01:35:55):
I don't have time to play another audio from that then, Okay,
I just wanted to play this one on him talking
about being a father, because he talked a lot about
how his dad shaped too he is today who he
is as a dad, and he says without his dad,
we wouldn't even be talking to him now, and just
talks about how much of a positive role model he was.
Speaker 5 (01:36:10):
Let's take a listen to your mom on being a father.
Speaker 21 (01:36:12):
Luckily my ex is not. It's not like a war
or nothing anymore, Like we can talk to the kids
or whatever. I think the part that I could appreciate
the most is that my big girl, she knows the
weight of it. That's Juni junior Jenny. Jenny would be
like awesome, Like she knows, like I'm trying to make
sure I still check in, Like I ain't talked to
(01:36:33):
dad in a couple of days, so she like check
in and she wants to show the phone the rule,
but she like tries to stay on schedule.
Speaker 1 (01:36:38):
So it's like her making an effort.
Speaker 7 (01:36:40):
That's what took so long.
Speaker 21 (01:36:42):
Like that was the process, The whole shebang of you
know what I'm saying, having to separate, that was what
the biggest hurt was, We're not going to have our
kids on a day to day like, I know how
much it I benefit that that my dad come home
and say, why this ain't clean?
Speaker 1 (01:36:59):
Man of notes? That is so hard, man, And you
know why adult in is it's several reasons why adulting
it's so hard because you think about all the different
layers of this conversation. He's a father who just lost
his father, right, and so he's thinking about not being
there with his kids on a day to day basis.
But when you lose a parent, you start questioning I'm
sure your own mortality as well, and you just start thinking,
(01:37:19):
I just want to be here for as long as possible,
to be here, you know, with my kids, because that's
really what it's about, right, It's all about presence. Presence,
Like he misses the presence of his father, you know,
he wants to be here being the presence of his kids.
That's all we constantly think about, just being here. I
want to be here and I want the people I
love to be here. But guess what, that's just not
the reality. Eventually all of this comes to an end
(01:37:41):
as something that's.
Speaker 2 (01:37:41):
My worst well, slew to my posts. Dad, just be
afraid of it.
Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
I mean, it's sad, but that's just that's life. That's life, sadly,
you know. I just want to live as long as possible, Okay,
to be one hundred and one, and I just, I
just I don't want my brain and my penis to work.

my brain work. Crazy crazy, don't really.

I gotta kick off the episode with three of the
most useless facts who will never ever, never, never ever
never never.
Speaker 1 (01:40:15):
Need not a day in life.
Speaker 26 (01:40:17):
Up first, one of the most important nurses in war
history wasn't even allowed to work for the British military.
The second useless fact, this same black woman treated wounded
soldiers on the front lines during the Korean War. And
your third useless fact, she treated those wounded soldiers by
building her.
Speaker 2 (01:40:37):
Own hospital in a war zone.
Speaker 5 (01:40:40):
Man, let's talk about Mary's sea Cole.
Speaker 6 (01:40:43):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:40:45):
I didn't know.
Speaker 26 (01:40:46):
I didn't know.
Speaker 15 (01:40:48):
I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (01:40:49):
I didn't know. Maybe I didn't know.
Speaker 10 (01:40:51):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:40:53):
I didn't know.
Speaker 9 (01:40:54):
I know.
Speaker 26 (01:40:55):
Mary Seacole was born in Jamaica in the early eighteen hundreds.
She was a healer, a nurse, a businesswoman, and somebody
who knew how to get things done. She learned traditional
Jamaican healing from a mom who ran a boarding house
for six soldiers. By the time she was in her twenties,
Mary was already treating koalora outbreaks across the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
And all kolora was was the ruins.
Speaker 1 (01:41:19):
Yeah, there was a.
Speaker 2 (01:41:19):
Diarrheal disease caused by bacteria.
Speaker 26 (01:41:22):
When the Korean War broke out in the eighteen fifties,
Mary wanted to help wan the British soldiers, so she
applied to join the official nursing corps and they said
absolutely not not because she wasn't qualified. You know why
the eighteen fifties because she was black. Oh, and Mary
got the receipts. The rejection letter still exists. Mary applied
four times one, two, three, four. Meanwhile, Florence Nightingale got
(01:41:47):
the resources, the support.
Speaker 1 (01:41:49):
And the history books from Mary.
Speaker 5 (01:41:51):
Seco looked at their rejection and said, cool, Now I
gotta do it myself.
Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
She traveled to the war zone on her own dime.
Speaker 26 (01:41:59):
Here what she called a British hotel, part hospital, part
supply center, part refuge.
Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
The British Hotel was two.
Speaker 10 (01:42:06):
Miles from the front line.
Speaker 26 (01:42:08):
Mary will ride out on horseback after battles to treat
the soldiers right where they fell under fire. She treated
soldiers directly on the battlefield, would use herbal medicines, provided food, care,
comfort man. The soldiers loved her. They called her mother
Sea Coal. But here's the global part that they just
don't teach. Mary Seacole wasn't just helping individuals, she was
(01:42:32):
building infrastructure. This has been the same theme all season.
When institutions blocked her, she created her own. That's the
whole playbook right there. If you don't learn anything else
this season, when you get blocked by an institution, create
your own. Because after that war, Mary Seacole returned to
England broke no pension, no recognition, no statue, no story,
(01:42:56):
just faded until people went back and looked for. In
two thousand and four she was voted her greatest Black Britain.
In twenty sixteen, she finally got a statue in London,
one hundred and thirty five years after her death.
Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
A century later, you know the story.
Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
Cardo G.
Speaker 26 (01:43:15):
Woodson created Negro History Week because stories like Mary C.
Coles disappear without protection, not because they aren't powerful, but
because they challenge who gets the credit.
Speaker 10 (01:43:25):
And CG.
Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
Dub New that what I call Carter G.
Speaker 1 (01:43:28):
Woodson.
Speaker 26 (01:43:28):
