Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well, congratulations V. I'm gonna hold it down for you, babe.
Congratulations to the New York Giants.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (04:36):
Meme?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Good morning?
Speaker 10 (04:38):
All right, So we start this morning in Washington, where
the government shut down is now and it's tenth days
and there's still yep, tenth day and there's still no
vote to reopen the government of the Senate left town
late last night with no deal, guarant ting that shut
down will stretch into next week. That also means military
members are likely to miss their first paycheck. As a
(04:59):
standoff off drags on now. Earlier in the day, Senate
Democrats they blocked a Republican funding bill for the seventh time,
where both sides they remain stale locked over healthcare subsidies
and spending priorities. Now, Republicans they want a short term,
clean funding bill, while Democrats insist any deal must include
the extension of the Affordable Care Act credits that are
(05:22):
set to expire at the end of the year. Now,
as frustrations grow in Washington, it's hitting home for families
across the country. During a c SPAN live call on Thursday,
a Republican mother from Virginia whose husband serves in the military,
made an emotional plead directly to House Speaker Mike Johnson.
She said, if the shutdown continues that her husband, if
(05:44):
he misses a paycheck next week, her two medically fragile
children would lose access to the medication they need to survive.
Let's listen to how this shutdown is affecting everyday, real people.
Speaker 11 (05:55):
If we see a lapse in pay fifteenth, my children
ar do not get to get the medication that's needed
for them to live their life. Because we live paycheck
to paycheck. I'm begging you to pass this legislation. My
kids could die. We don't have the credit because of
(06:16):
the medical bills that I have to pay regularly. You
could stop this, and you could be the one that
could say military is getting paid and the audacity of
someone who makes six figures a year to do this
to military families is insane.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
She's absolutely right. Yeah, like, she's absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
The rent, the mortgage, the electric bills, gas bills, the
healthcare bills.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
They don't care that the government is shut down. They
want their money.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, man, they do because the bill Zone style.
Speaker 10 (06:46):
Well, Johnson told her he was angry about situations like hers,
but again he blamed Democrats for blocking that funding plan
in the Senate.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
So we'll continue to watch this. It will of course
play into next week.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Gonna be the political win.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Nadi's A Party thinks it is because people do not
care about which party is responsible for what.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
They just want their goddamn money. That's it, exactly.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
And in other news, conservative political group Turning Point USA
says it is launching its own halftime show to compete
with the NFL, setting up what could what could be
one of the most politically charged super Bowl Sundays. Yet now,
the group founded by activists Charlie Kirk, announced the All
American halftime Show, set to air during the Super Bowl
on February eighth. Now, a few details have been released,
(07:34):
but a website for the event promises more information soon
about who will perform and how fans can watch. A
survey on the site, it's asking fans what kind of
music they like, listing options like country, hip hop, and rock,
along with one choice that's labeled anything in English.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
The people are crazy, patty anything, y'all matter not have
no na chos that y'all super Bowl crazy? Okay, no
nachos that your goddamn super Bowl party?
Speaker 10 (08:07):
Then okay, absolutely So the move appears to be in
direct response, of course, to the backlash over the NFL's choice.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
You know, the headliner is Bad Bunny.
Speaker 10 (08:17):
He's the Puerto Rican superstar known for his chart topping
hits and his outstanding or out spoken political views. Now,
some conservatives argue that Bad Bunny doesn't quote reflect American values.
So this is what this is all about, the quote
unquote American value.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I would say that Bad Bunny represents the most American
of values, because that's what America is supposed to be about. Inclusivity.
It's supposed to be about you know, freedom, liberty, and
justice for all. People come to America to achieve things
like bad Bunny is achieved. Like I would say that
Bad Bunny is what you would call the American dream
in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Wells, when you come, you can come from you know what,
by the Puerto Rico is America? What are we talking about?
Speaker 11 (08:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (09:00):
Not because they wanted me exactly, And America's supposed to
be the melting pot.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I think that's what you were Yes, you were saying exactly.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
Absolutely, So all right, well, coming up at seven, it's
coughing season, but this year there's a new player in
the mix.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Will tell you what it is and how it's changing
the game.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Damn, people still be out there looking to get coughed.
I guess, so get cold. D I guess I don't
be thinking about it because I've been comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, yeah, any might be trying to be comfortable around
this time. You're knowing to hold all summer, but now
you want to be comfortable one person. Absolutely, it ain't
never change. Well, guess what for you?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Ladies in a small town are you guys in a
small town, everybody know he slept with all summer, so
why the hell would they settle down with your stupid
ass When it get cold, I'm gonna wait till it's
freezing to get chlamidia.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Stop when it five a five one oh five to one,
it's time for get it off your chest. If you
want to call up right now and tell us why
you're blessed, you could do that. If you want to
call up and tell us why you're stretched, you can
do that as well. It's the world's most dangerous want
to show the breakfast club.
Speaker 12 (09:56):
The breakfast club, this is your time to get it
off your chest, whether your man or blessed.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I hate the way that you walk, the way you talk,
I hate the waiting to dress.
Speaker 12 (10:07):
Everything when he is best call up next eight hundred
five eighty five five one.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Not just me, I'm with the coach of philis. Good morning,
get it off your chest. Who's this?
Speaker 11 (10:17):
Good morning?
Speaker 13 (10:17):
Breast food for Mike? I got doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Pretty good?
Speaker 13 (10:22):
Hey, Charla Mann? I love you, but I got to
give you Donky a day today.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay, talk to me.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
Stop stop giving hackeen Jeffrey's a hard time man. I
don't give yes, you do never never go hard at
Trump like you do.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You know what time time all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I hate when y'all say that, y'all do remember Trump
called me a racist sleeves bag with low i Q
earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I don't know why y'all say that, as if I
don't as if I don't give Trump donkey of today
all the time. I just gave him Donkey Day last week.
Speaker 13 (10:50):
Huh, you go soft on Trump, man, I'm telling you, Charlomagne.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I don't. I really don't understand this logic. I think
you just think that to be out of here. Okay.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
One is what they're doing is Trump has always been
trying to get get rid of that Codable Care Act.
So he got he's playing chess with the Democrats. He's
playing chess. So now he's blaming it on them. You know,
he's a mash that creating narrative by know that. So
my thing is if if they're premiums go up, it's
going to triple for a lot of people, then we
can't afford to get to the doctor for check ups
(11:20):
at Q and and he always strussed us to do.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know what I would have did if I was
the Democrats, even though I'm not a politician, I would
have let I would have let the Republicans do that,
let the healthcare prices shoot up. And then now you
can point the finger directly at Republicans and say, look
how Republicans raise your healthcare.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
But you know what's happening right now.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Everybody's confused because federal workers aren't getting their paychecks, and
so now they're putting the fingers at each other, and
everybody's blaming each other for people hurting right now in
the moment.
Speaker 13 (11:47):
But Trump is doing this, man, charlat Magne, he's doing this.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm not get rid of that. I'm not saying he's not.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'm just simply saying it would have been easier to
point the finger at Republicans and say, hey, there are
no reason that your healthcare prices are up. As a hold,
everybody pointing the finger at each other right now, saying
this is why the government is shut down, This why
you're not getting paid. It's either Democrats or as Republicans.
It's just confusion right now. And guess what, don't nobody
care you just want their money so they can pay
their bills.
Speaker 13 (12:11):
I agree, I agree, I've went all that. I agree,
but Trump is the one doing it. They can have
to control, they have the power.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I don't think I mean, you're right, but once again,
I don't think it matters because people just want their paychecks.
But if you to let the healthcare prices shoot if
you do let the healthcare prices shoot up, not saying
that that would have been a good thing. If you're
trying to get a political win, it's easier to point
to finger out Republicans to say they caused this, right, I.
Speaker 13 (12:31):
Got you, hey, but that's that's all. I want to
stop giving them a hard time.
Speaker 14 (12:34):
Show no, I will not.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Have a good day. Peace. Get it off your chest.

Sometimes you have sat, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 14 (18:42):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
To me, this is a very sad day for Drake
because a judge has decided to dismiss the lawsuit, the
defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That he has over Not Like Us.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
After all that, yes, so the docs say from the judge,
because the court concludes that the alleged that the alleged
defamatory statements and not Like Us are non actionable opinion,
the motion to dismiss is granted because when Drake filed
the lawsuit, Universal Music Group came back and said, Judge,
this is a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
This is just a song.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
There's no there's no proven factor that we defamed anything.
We want you to dismiss this. And the judge is
saying yes now yeah. So Drake's attorney has already given
statements to some outlets. Didn't respond to me, but they
say it yeah, but they say that they plan to
appeal this and they look forward to taking this to
appeals court. But Universal Music Group did send a statement
(19:42):
to me as soon as this lawsuit was filed and
they say. A spokesperson from Universal Music Group says, from
the outset, this suit was an affront to all artists
and their creative expression and never should have seen the
light of day. We're pleased with the court's dismissal and
look forward to continue on our work successfully promoting Drake's
music and investing in his career. I felt like that
(20:03):
was the biggest sit down over there in the corner
and have a seat to.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Listen uphill Orange Pill, Chemical Pill, Kendrick lamar in five.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
All right, all right, this lawsuit wasn't found for.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Any other reason other than Drake's feelings was hurt because
Kendrick busted his ass in a rap battle. It's really
that simple. And I'm shocked the lawsuit lasted a year
and even got this far. This man got his ass
busted in the good old fashion rap battle. Nothing more,
nothing less. And we just have never seen how Drake
reacts under real pressure. And you learn a lot more
about people in defeat than you do in a win.
(20:37):
And we learned that Drake is a soul loser.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's it. No, And then like would this further damage
his ego?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
I know it is.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
It has to because it's gonna be crazy. It's like
a big ag slap in the face, I mean to
him for him.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, but also too. I read it's thirty eight pages.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
The judge's response that I read write all that because yeah, really,
because I wanted to know. The defamation is a hard
thing to make somebody say, yes, you were defamed. So
I wanted to know exactly what the judge thought about
his claims, because he said he had it up like
through art.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's already hard enough when somebody the fames you just talking. Yeah,
then when you do it through art and you got
all the free speech laws.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, so the judge said that you got to look
at this a couple of ways.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
First of all, you got to look at the forum,
which is where the the like whatever the defaming claims
were made. And the judge gave the example of like
if you see something on like Twitter or in like
an opinion column versus like a serious journalistic website, you
look at it differently. So when we're looking at these
claims made in a this song, people were gonna believe
(21:37):
that it's just a firey moment and that the stuff
that's being said may not be fact. The judge also
very definitely listened to all the songs, pulled out parts
from all the songs on both Drake's and kendrick side
where they were both going back and forth at each other,
and made the point that even though Drake was saying
that the court needed to look at not like us
as an isolated event and this one claim and this
(21:57):
one thing happened and it's ruining my career and UMG
is behind it, the judges like, we can't do that.
We got to look at everything because we need to
figure out where all this came from. And if we're
looking at everything, it was basically you guys are both
doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You imagine imagine that the judge listening to through all
the records like.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Like, why do we act like based off Drake's logic,
he didn't the fame Kendrick. This man said, Kendrick beat
his beat. This one man said Kendrick. One of kendrick
children was by his best friend calling him short. Don't
nobody I would think about the vertically challenge.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Right because getting like, how you just did you just
levitated a little bit? You ever think about that that
was thrown?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Don't nobody ever bring up this calling this man short
over and over the impact it might have had on him.
But luckily our hYP don't fight. That's why Kendrick busted
Drake's ass.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
He did, he did.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Damn. I'm Drake, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I know he ready be real meant and imagine how
me like the amount of niggas laughing at him.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
My supposed to on X yesterday laughing laughing emojis. And
I'm only going to infer that those emojis were laughing
at this lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
We would have been stopped talking about this ass kicking. Drake.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You keep reminding us of this ass kicking. You keep
reminding us that Kendrick busted your ass.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Hain't even say nothing by the losses.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I look at it a couple of ways. I look
at it in a couple of ways. I'm talking about
the fact that Drake is biracial, so I'm looking at
it from a black and white perspective. Okay, his daddy's
side engaged in a rap battle. His daddy said, go
out there and fight, God damren fight. And then when
Kendrick busted his ass, his mama's side said, oh no,
are we We're going to the police.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
That's what happened.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
That's right, And honestly, I feel like the judge's answer
also made you remember. I mean you, we were there,
so we remember how big the song was when it
first hit. But this was like a rereminder. I was
reading it like if I was Drake, I hope he
doesn't read this full thirty.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Minute and remind him it's not like us at the
super Bowl in February, a bunch of Grammys. But like
the answer was super Bowl two point oh, they put
it out already.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
Reminder.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You don't have to say re reminded. It's just reminded, reminded.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
Read that I'm trying to tell y'all. I was reading
this like, I hope Drake has some people around him
if if.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The people are import to hug, yes, like I'm not
even gonna hold you. I was reading this like the.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Judge listener all these songs, and she's a Kendrick fan.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Now, I bet that's why I said, imagine the judge listening,
so going back, imagine your favorite song being Euphoria like it's.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
One of Kendrick's songs, like scathing like and then he
came back with the scathing and fiery.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I'm like, oh she felt that igetch I think it was.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Laura said, Drake got emotional support. Niggas people got emotional support,
right that what you think, Baca.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
They need to be man to touch somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Sometimes you just need support. And you lost the rap battle,
man sucking up it. God damn, it's just a rat battle.
This is the last thing I will say else we close.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Drake's team also tried to make a point throughout this
lawsuit that we were not smart enough to understand the
full context of a rat battle, like one song, then
another song, then another song that not like us dropped
and it made us forget everything and that's why it's
so defamatory and umg is is the cause of it.
And the judge said, you sound crazy and you shouldn't
be using stuff from social media to prove evidence and
(25:26):
it's not substantial.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh, them guys really not like us because they don't
understand how rat battles work. That's exactly how rat battles work.
You go, I go, you go, I go, and one
of us gonna go so hard that the whole crowd
gonna be like, oh, like if you think about eight mile, right, Yes,
you don't remember nothing after that last rap.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Talking about himself, yup and then start talking about the
other nigga.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
No, I don't, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Well, he argued that not Like Us was so big
that nothing else should matter, and the judge said, that
doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
No, he's right, nothing like Nothing Like Us was so
big that nothing else matter than that bath.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But not to the point where we believe that Drake
was a pedophile. No, nobody ever thought that, just like
I never thought Kendrick beat his wife or I never thought,
you know, Kendrick was.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I don't even think Kendrick short for real. His presence
is too big. I don't even see a small I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
See literally went to the concert in life and yeah,
he looked like he looked larger than life than me.
He look like a giant. To Drake, I bet you drink,
go to sleep, and Kendrick looked ten feet tall. You
are you know what I want to hear right now?
What you already know?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What?
Speaker 14 (26:37):
Damn it?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Okay you are standing for? We can't tell when we
come back. We got front page news.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Plus Alan Ibinson will be joining us this hour, it's
the world's most dangerous morning to show to Breakfast Club. Yes,

Don't nobody care? Why don't nobody care? Because I like this.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I love the city of Philly, by the way, but
I also love New York. But I hate their teams.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Okay, but they won. What do the guy boys on?
Speaker 14 (27:20):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Okay, Giants, it don't manate one yesterday? Giants this year,
Big gout of New York.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
What's that? Memean?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
He me me?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Jess and Charlamagne.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
Okay, So we start this hour in New York where
Attorney General Letitia James, the Democrat who took on Donald
Trump's business empire, is now facing criminal charges of her
own a federal grand jury in Virginia and died at
James on two felony counts, bank fraud and making false
statements to a financial institution tied to what prosecutors call a.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Fraudulent mortgage scheme.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
Now it makes her the second high profile Trump critic
to face criminal charges, after former FBI Director James Comey's indictment.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Now.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
According to the ten page indictment filed Thursday in the
Eastern District of Virginia, prose prosecutors alleged that James misrepresented
the purpose of a home she purchased back in Norfolk
in twenty twenty. They say she applied for a second
home mortgage, a type of loan that comes with lower rates,
but then rented out the property to tenants, violating the
(28:21):
terms of the loan and pocketing roughly nineteen thousand dollars
in what they call improper games. Now, federal prosecutors also
accuse her of repeating those misrepresentations on insurance and tax documents.
Lindsay Halligan, Trump's former personal attorney turned interim US attorney
for the district, announced the charges yesterday, saying no one
(28:42):
is above the law Now James.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
She quickly fired back.
Speaker 10 (28:46):
These, calling these allegations a desperate political attack from a
president determined to punish his critics.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Let's hear more of what she had to say.
Speaker 19 (28:54):
He's forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding,
all because I didn't my job as the New York
State Attorney general. These charges are baseless, and the president's
own public statements make clear that his only goal is
political retribution.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
At any cost.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
She's absolutely right, and that's why we got to stop
backing like Donald Trump doesn't have a hitless like this
is nothing but revenge. Like it's almost pointless to even
read what chis James is being charged with because it's
some bs. Like Trump doesn't hide anything in regard to
who he has a problem with. He told y'all he
hates his opponents. He tells you who he doesn't want
on TV. He tells you you know what.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Politicians he wants jail, he wants people, He wants to
do people exactly the way that he was done when
they were coming after him.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I don't even think he cared these people get charged,
I mean, get convinceed.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Just getting ready to say that.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Analysts a lot of people are saying it doesn't even
matter if they get charged. It's just the fact that
they have to go before judge, they have to take
that perk blok, they have to do all of those things.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
So it's a win for him either way.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
So he cares to get he came to get charged.
You don't have if to get convicted.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Exactly exactly you said.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They got to take a perk walk.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
I mean, that's basically what he's in it for.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I just wanted to Garrett what you know about.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
First of all, I can see them taking a park
It's distressful, all right. I wouldn't blame any of them
if they took a perk take a.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Book, a park walk crazy okay? Oh purp, well girl,
and you get arrested and they had to bring you
in front of.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah on the way, I'll just still got U said,
come a gravy by my little elbow, like, don't turn around,
don't make a thing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Oh all right.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Well.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Court documents show that US District Judge Jamar Walker, which
is a Biden appointee, will preside over the case. She
is set to make her first court appearance on October
twenty fourth in Norfolk, so we will continue to watch
what happens in that case. And while one New York
official is fighting charges of her own, the city she
represents is taking on a different kind of battle big tech.
(30:51):
So on World Mental Health Day, New York City is
asking a judge to hold Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and others
accountable for what it calls a youth mental health crisis,
claiming the apps are designed to keep kids hooked, even
at the expense of their well being, and at three
hundred and twenty seven page federal complaint, the city says
platforms have become a public nuisance, forcing schools and hospitals
(31:14):
to shoulder mental health burdens that they did not choose.
Speaker 15 (31:17):
So.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
According to the lawsuit, the companies alleged that these social
media companies build algorithms, notifications, and engagement loops that exploit
psychological vulnerabilities and teenagers, contributing to depression, anxiety, self harm,
and other serious outcomes, and New York says it is
now being forced to pay the price more counseling, more
(31:38):
hospital visits, more strained on schools, and these types of lawsuits.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
They are not just limited to New York.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
In fact, more than thirty States have already they have
pending or pass actions against Meta alleging that Facebook and
Instagram are harming mental health, youth mental health definitely.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well, we can also do our best as paid parents
to keep our kids off those platforms, like I don't
allow my kids to use social media, and they don't
miss it because they never had it. Okay, now that
damn YouTube and those tablets with roadblock, that's a different story.
But you can't miss what you never experienced.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
And so after all the talk about how social media
is reshaping our mental health, now artificial intelligence is changing
something else, how we connect. So we've all heard of
cuffing season, that time of year when the weather cools
down and people start looking to lock in a partner
before winter.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
They are still really lax.
Speaker 10 (32:30):
Yep it technically run yep it runs from October to February.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
But this year the dating game is looking a little different.
Thanks to AI.
Speaker 10 (32:40):
People are now turning to dating apps and plugins that
use artificial intelligence to help them slide into someone's DM.
So apps like riz gpt, your Move, Cupid Bot, among others.
What they do is they analyze your profile and then
help you craft everything from that perfect icebreaker to that
clever one liner. Developers say it's meant to take the
(33:02):
pressure off of people who freeze up when trying to
start a conversation, but critics say it takes the authenticity
out of dating. So dating coaches they're already seeing it
play out in real time, with some people admitting they're
not sure they're falling for a person or falling for
an algorithm.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
But you see, it's like ups and downs whatever, right,
Because I like I like it because this gives the
people who can't talk to women, you know, the socially
awkward people that still want to date. It gives them
a chance to be able to communicate with a woman.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (33:32):
You think so, because to me it feels like a
different form of catfishing, because am I talking to you?
Or are you putting what I say in an app
and then spitting it out what you're going to say
back to me?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That's very true, And shouldn't you have a limit on
how many times you talk to a person through the computer?
At some point, if they're a MATRIXCT, y'all should meet
up and look at each other's eyes, you know, see
what each other smell like right.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Right, But you gotta take the lessons though, like you
gotta you can't just be on edge.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Just oh, how do I say this to the girl?
You have to be able to be trained by it.
You know, you gotta learn something from it, and then
you can even be honest when we do meet up
and see each other for the first time and I
smell you and all that, and you don't think you
have to be honest, be like, look, I ain't even
gonna hold you. I don't really know how to, you know,
spit the game to you. So I asked, you know,
chat ebt how to highlight at you. You know, I'm
(34:19):
gonna get better with it, but at least I did
my due dealing.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Just on trying.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
So I put the effort in to try to get
to communicate with you, to get to this point right here.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, And I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
For all the medium ugly guys like myself, the computer
does you a disservice.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
And I tell you why.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I would have never overachieved in the woman's department the
way I did in my life if it wasn't for
face to face conversation, because you know, because you know
if I was just talking to a woman during the
computer they'd be like, oh, you know, blah blah blah,
he's interested in whatever. But then when they meet me,
they're like, oh my god, when you present the medium
ugly from the beginning, but then they be like, oh,
he's funny, Oh he might be smart. Oh and I
(34:55):
like his conversation. That it's different that grows over time.
Start to look past the medium ugly.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Talking about being ugly. We talking about communication, like.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
We have to know how I mean, if it wasn't
for communication, I would have never overchieved in a woman's department.
But the communication, being face to face, eye to eye,
is what makes that happen.
Speaker 1 (35:14):

Speaker 20 (36:18):
New book Misunderstood is out right now, sling obviously, ladies
and gentlemen, are you feeling man?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Good life? Life be life in the same fight, different
round for west. How much sound we got as much
as you mean, because I don't know where it's gonna go.
But look, man, friends, all right, so I know you
know what type of I mean. I'm just mean, Jess,
but you know, you know how you get to know
somebody from Afar and you can basically kind of tell
(36:46):
what type of person they are, you know what I mean. Obviously,
I've known you since I was in high school and
big fan of you. Bro friendships. Man, it's hard because
when you think about your friend obviously you know you
can't choose your family members, you know what I mean,
You're born into that. But your friends, you feel like
(37:07):
y'all got so much in common with each other and
you have so much love for them because you know
they're kind of like a basically a reflection of you,
or you got the same type of things in common
or whatever, and you just grow to love them like family.
They become you know, the guys become brothers and your
homegirls become your sisters. But it's rough, man, navigating do that.
(37:30):
You know what I mean. I know how much I
love my family, my friends. I got so much flack
when I first got into the league, you know what
I mean. It was the entourage bring you homeboys from
where you're from. You trust them so much, you love them.
You want them to go on the ride with you.
You want them to take this journey, you know through it.
It's new to me, I've been poor all my whole
(37:51):
life and then snap of a finger, I'm rich and famous.
And it's a lot, you know what I mean. So
you want to have so many people around you that
you love me and you trust.
Speaker 14 (38:01):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
And the money man just you know what I mean,
it's just you know what, And it's so different from me,
and it's so hard for me because with my athletic
ability that I was blessed with, I've been like this
since I was eight years old. Like I always felt
that I was rich when I was poor. I always
(38:25):
been famous, you know what I mean. When I was
eight years old, I go in the barbershopping guys seventeen, eighteen,
twenty twenty five years old, guys like, oh, there you go.
You know that's the one right there, that's him. So
it's always been that for me. I always had that attention,
you know what I mean. I always been like that.
You know. Once I got some money, it was no
(38:46):
different from me. Obviously I could do things with my
family and my friends that I couldn't do before. You
know that goes without saying. Man, just the painful lessons
of friends not being who you think they they are
when you add the rule all evil anything.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Something just recently happened.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Definitely, it happens all the time. But I feel a
pendulum swinging in another direction as far as how I
feel about it, like how it used to hurt me.
You know what I mean. You you tell someone you
want to find out if somebody your friend, you tell
them no one and their reaction with what said all
(39:28):
you know what I mean, chuck a man, I got
a business, you know, opportunity. I want to start this.
I want to start that. Man can give me a
hundred thousand and you don't even have to tell them no.
You can say not right now. You know later on.
But these are the same people pay their rent, pay
that over the years, child support, you know, pay your
(39:48):
mom rent. You know this that every time you go
to a jewelry store, you're taking them, you know, because
the most awkward feeling is I don't want to be
shining and looking good and my homeboys not. So when
I go see Manny, you know what I mean, they going,
You know what I mean, When I get cars, they
get calls, you know what I mean, like and it's
(40:10):
just like when you tell them no, the way they
you know they act. You know, somebody's saying it, say, yo, man,
what's up with your man? They are you know, what's
up with a man?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Dangn You know what I mean? Like after reading your book,
nobody's your question you're loyal? You'll ever say not the
way you took care of me.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I'm telling you what you've seen.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
But do you regret that? Because I mean, Virginia, that's
you everywhere.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
That's where I say the pendingum is swinging. That's what
That's why I say or feel that my maturation is
on a higher level now because back then when something
uh traumatic will happen to me like that, and I
see how they act for me telling them, no, I
feel myself not giving the damn anymore. Like you know
(40:56):
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Even in the book, there's nobody felt like that was
around you that didn't help you in some way, shape
or for him. So you was repaying them, like you
talk about how when you was in jail, they was
taking care of your mom and they were the ones
that would tell you, you know, you know, you're not
gonna be hustling, You're gonna be playing ball. So it
wasn't like you just had a bunch of leeches around.
There was people that looked out for you, so you
look back out for them.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
You know what, if I look out for one of
my homeboys, my homegirls, I don't expect you to give
it back, you know what I mean. I ain't never
asked for nothing back, you know what I mean. I
just feel like me being ahead of a snake. The
perfect example is like me being on twenty one team
went to the finals. I'm the killer. Everybody know that
(41:39):
this is the guy gonna put the ball in the basket.
This is what he do. Now what we do is
compliment him. We do everything else all his deficiencies and
things that he can't do on the defensive end that
you know of the court. You know he's leading the
league and stills, yeah after year, but you got to
gamble and when he gambled, the Ken Bay is there
(42:00):
to make sure I'm good, Leo is there block shots,
make sure I'm good. They could do all of the
things that I couldn't do it and that's what that's
what made Voltron, you know what I mean. You put
all those things together, and that mean I was. It
was me and a bunch of dogs, you know, what
I mean. And it's the same thing with my friendship. Yeah,
he's the guy people look at him another way. So
I have a role, you know, I have to do this.
(42:21):
This is my part. This is what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Another thing too, and maybe this could be part of
what you're feeling right now. It seemed like the whole
team had a dream. It wasn't sposed. It wasn't You're
supposed to get on in basketball. You're supposed to get
on in basketball. And everybody was supposed to make it
a rap. So everybody was supposed to be doing their
own thing.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
I didn't have the I didn't have the Lebron James
crue Ma Rich, I didn't have that blueprint, you know
what I mean. I'm like, look, we're gonna get in
when we fit in, you know what I mean. Like
I had one of my homeboys tell me, like, I'm
going to work every day, working every day. Mass's supposed
to be a superstar by now, you know what I mean,
I'm going to work. I'm like, like, I've had incidents
(42:58):
like you know, I'm I'm getting ready to go on road.
And it was a casino. I go to the bank,
I get fifty thousand. They got thirty thousand and large
and twenty thousand, and you know, twenties and I'm getting
on the plane, my man, come, I give him the
twenty thousand. He looked at it like it was something
wrong with it because it was all twenties, you know
(43:20):
what I mean, Like, Yo, did this? You know? Really?
Just did that? Really just happened, you know what I mean.
And it's like you can you're thinking you're doing what's right,
but you only you're not holding people accountable. You being
a crutch for him. It's like putting a band aid
on something, you know what I mean. You're not stitching
it up, you know what I mean, not stapling it up,
(43:41):
you know what I mean. And they always feel like that,
you know what I mean. But like the hurtful part
is the response of actually saying no. Aaron Aaron McKey
told me, he said, Chuck, just you know what I mean,
when you when you cutting your grass, you know what
I mean, and you getting them snakes out of it,
let him ask you for something and tell him no,
(44:02):
you know what I mean. And I think I'm doing
a great job of cutting it, but you still got
a little small you know, the snakes might be gone,
but some worms in there, some small you know.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Right now it's Charles Barkley and a whole bunch of
people saying we was trying to tell him this thirty like.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
It's just like the basketball aspect of everything. I ain't
never think that I will retire there early, you know
what I mean? Man, I ain't never had no back
up playing Like growing up, once my mom told me
I could be anything I wanted to be. I wanted
to be a NBA basketball player, and that was it.
It was no it was no b C. D. It
was just that that one dream. You know. Coach Thompson
(44:44):
used to always tell me, you always listening to everybody else.
You're always listening to somebody that's never been to you know,
from A to Z telling you how to get there,
you know what I mean. And that's what I was.
I had everybody that wasn't me and never had experience
telling me how to do it.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
I want to ask you about the title of the book, man,
do you think you were misunderstood that the title of
the book or did people outside of your circle just
not take the.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Time to understand you.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
You're a smart dude. Sometimes a lot. This is one
of my favorite shows. So I you know, I see
the good.
Speaker 14 (45:20):
Days, a bad day.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Gonna come.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
I'm gonna come up. I watched Dame come up here.
It's for real, it gets real. I think they can
answer it better. My perspective is they were learning on
the fly to It's like, you know, with my documentary
that's coming out, it was like three hours long. I
(45:45):
think I cried like two and a half hours of
I had to keep walking out of the theater because
you think, you know, when it comes to people that
love you, you think you know how they feel about
you know, turbulent times, you know what I mean, And
you think you know how your girl feel. You think
you know your mom feel, your uncles, your aunts, your homeboys,
your homegirls. But then when they actually tell you from
(46:06):
their point of view, how they felt, you know, and
how they looked at things, and how I didn't see
how I was, you know, how they had to try
to address me with certain things like you know, you
driving the car, we riding shotgun. And it's hard to
tell somebody, you know that's trying to live their life
what they should do and what they shouldn't do, you know,
(46:29):
what I mean, Like I'm twenty one years old, you
know what I mean, when I got into the league
at that age, Like you couldn't you couldn't tell me nothing,
you know what I'm saying, Like I'm here, you know
what I mean. Like the dress code, I'm like, I
dressed like the dudes, the drug dealers from my neighborhood.
Like you know, I'm dressing like this because you know
(46:52):
this is what the old he is from my neighbor
but this is how they dressed. You know what I mean.
I just couldn't afford it. You know what I mean?
My corn rolls. I got corns because I was tired
of barber's messing my hair. I was like, damn if
I just roll my hair, you know, I ain't got
to deal with that. You know. Tattoos just got addictive.
I got one. I couldn't afford him. I would have
been got a lot of My daddy was a hustler,
(47:13):
you know what I mean. He was in the streets,
my mom in the streets.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Like I didn't have no sit you down and give
you structure.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
This is how it wasn't. No coach Thompson then, you
know what I mean, wasn't those people. They weren't in
my life yet. So all of all of that was
where he was he was, but it was it was
he was there when I got to the NBA, being
his phone calls. You know you we never talked about basketball.
You all right, Damn I I I'm just checking over.
(47:42):
I'll swamp good out of kids, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (47:45):
And that was it.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
He was allowing me and thinking he was preparing me
at Georgetown for what was the inevitable me going to
the league. But you can't prepare for that brow.
Speaker 20 (47:57):
How was that pressure though? Because the nicest player, right?
But you changed culture. But when you changed the culture,
the NBA pushed back against it.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
But you never broke. You never folded, even though they
could have said.
Speaker 20 (48:09):
They could have been AI said now we don't want
you in our lean, but you never folded. You never
backed down, and you kept it that way, which hurt
you at times.
Speaker 3 (48:16):
Why was that they profited off of too? You know
what I mean? I would be on. One of the
things that hurt me is I was on a magazine.
They wanted me on a magazine because of my talent
and who I was, but they air brushed my tattoos off.
You want me, but you you know you want some
of me. I took the ass whood before it. But
the dress code thing, like I actually was just you
(48:39):
know what I mean, I was twenty one. Where am
I going after the game? Going to the club, you
know what I mean? Like before that, they were used
to dudes wearing soups, and you know what I mean,
I was like, damn, like I've never worn a soup
growing up. I'm going to church or to a fumeal.
The only time I put in the courtroom in the court,
(49:00):
I definitely in the court room. So I never wore
a soup to the to the gym, to play, to
the to the park sweatsuit, you know what I mean,
or whatever. You know what I'm saying. So I ain't
think I ain't think nothing of it. David Stern and rested.
The NBA was like, ah, because it was all right
when I was doing it, but then everybody else said, okay,
(49:23):
like he can do that, we can do this. So
then everybody, you know, you see Kobe coming in with
the diamond chains on and the baggy clothes, and you know,
everybody started doing it. Then the league was like hold on,
we gotta do something about that. So it wasn't it
wasn't anything delicious like and that and that. That whole
situation showed me a lot and it proved a lot
to me at a young age about stereotyping people, because
(49:46):
you know, when you seen John Gotti, John Gotty kept
on the two thousand dollars suit, But what was he?
He get busy, you know what I mean. So it
ain't about you know, what you got on on the outside,
who you are, And.
Speaker 20 (49:57):
They said that bother you the most where they labeled
you a thumb. Yeah, I'll be cool with a street dude,
Cool with that because that's what I am.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
I mean, that's where I come from. That's all I've
ever been around my life. That's where I grew up around.
But a thug like nah, that's a that's a stretch.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
I was wondering, would you change things? And the reason
I asked that because even in the book, you understood
you had to wear a suit the court, but you
didn't want to do it for press conferences.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
In the NBA, I was bad advice, like I was,
you know, I was told to take a go to
trial and go off whatever the judge say opposed to
having a jury that was bad, you know what I mean.
Some of that I was getting advice from people that
never had been through it, you know what I mean.
I was told that if I wore a suit then
(50:47):
they would be leaning.
Speaker 7 (50:49):
I was.
Speaker 3 (50:50):
I was extremely wrong.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
So you wish you to just water. I remember, I
remember that same suit.
Speaker 3 (51:01):
I was in a sale. It was one hundred degrees
with no fans in there, and the older sale. I
was in an old man seal with fifteen people, you
know what I mean, and that suit. When they came
got me, I was in the corner with my boxes on,
you know what I mean, soaking wet, and the suit
was balled up in the corner. When they came and
got me out of there, I had on my box.
Speaker 14 (51:21):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Do you regret anything?
Speaker 3 (51:25):
Nah, because I wouldn't be you who I am now.
I wouldn't change anything, man, in my life, all of
these experience, even.
Speaker 14 (51:32):
With the book.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Man, it's like I love like my girl always talked
to me about why do you let like what I
started talking about in the beginning, why do you let
that type.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
Of bother you? And I'm like practice press company.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
No, just with my friends, how people, you know what
I mean. It's like why and I don't know, you
know what I mean? Like I love the people that
I love and it hurt when they show you who
they really are because I'm thinking you somebody else, you
know what I mean? And she like, you know, why
do you stress out over stuff like that? And one
of you different. You have a talent and you you're
(52:07):
blessed to be able to brush that stuff off. It's
hard for me now. My talent obviously is you know,
legendary with who. But I think another blessed blessing that
I have is to be an open book, to be someone.
I'm embarrassed by practice rant I'm embarrassed about uh, not
(52:28):
really embarrassed. But it wasn't smart for me to, you know,
because I remember, you know, people telling me Ai, you
cannot take care of everybody, and I used to let
him go on one air and write out the other like, yo,
you know what I mean. I'm gonna be the exception
to the rule. I'm gonna take care of the people
that I love. Like that's just me, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (52:48):
And I think that's why I hurt you so bad
because your heart, isn't it You love these people? You know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're superman, but you still have a heart, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (52:57):
And you like, but this is but this is my
this is my gift, Like this is my gift to
this book, this this documentary. My experience is the turbulent,
the ups and downs. Like, uh, if one kid or
one adult whatever read this book and they can take
something from it. I have people come to me all
the time be like, yo, man, you inspired my life. Man,
(53:18):
I would have died if it was for you, I
would have went to jail for the rest of my life.
You know what I mean, Like you changed my life,
and that that motivate me, you know what I mean,
Like I'm to give more, like to even when you embarrass,
you uncomfortable, you know, talk about it. Somebody might not
have to go through it. Somebody might. You might save
somebody's life, you know what I mean. Like, talk about it. Man,
(53:39):
you was on top of the world. You had all
the money, you know what I mean, all you had
to do. It's easy for to tell Chuck what to
do with his easy for somebody to say what I
would have did man, if that was him, I would
have did.
Speaker 14 (53:51):
You ain't me.
Speaker 3 (53:52):
You know what I mean. You don't know how. I'm
sorry you not me. You know what I mean. I
make mistakes. I'm human just like you.
Speaker 20 (54:00):
I've seen an interview you gave up drinking six months
ago to that point where you said this is enough.
Speaker 3 (54:05):
It was it was I'll be lying if I would
say it just just stopped it. Brother, You know what
I mean. It was. It was situations.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (54:14):
I you know where's you know what I mean? Like
I know I put it here. You know what I mean.
It's the same thing having certain guys around you. Everybody
when when when they your people, your people know when
you're drunk, you know, just chill man him up, two
more glasses, dumb man. He yo, Man right now, Man,
(54:35):
God damn, I need you you know what I'm saying. Man,
with this going on, that going on, man, I need
you where telling me to get this in because when
I let me just talk about when I get nice, man,
we'll get you. I wanted to sleep glass line twenty
five thousand on me, you know, but I got twelve
(54:58):
hundred what my sniggers, My man you gave such and
such your your little sniggers, you gave your sister your uh,
your uh, your your fur coat. You can't you know
what I mean? Like I mean, that's just that's just
(55:19):
small bad to the the real you know what I mean.
Not feeling well, you know what I mean. I mean,
I did all this and I was having fun last night.
To wake up feeling like this, you know what I mean.
Then my responsibilities you you you know what I mean.
You're missing flights and you know what I mean, I mean,
just a it's a pluthor r of things.
Speaker 1 (55:39):
Man.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
You just drinking, you know what I'm saying. Like I
saw the evaluate and like what good does it do
for me? You understand?
Speaker 5 (55:48):
Like you?
Speaker 3 (55:49):
I mean, you can you can have fun with your
own boys, your homegirls, you know what I mean, without that.
And I talked to God about it. I asked them
to to help me be strong. I ain't going no
a and nothing like that. Like I I was like, Okay,
I'm not I'm not doing it, And that's what it wasn't.
The crazy thing about it is I've been with her
(56:09):
for fifteen, for thirty five years and since I was fifteen,
and this crazy part about it is she said when
I told her I was stopping that after that, she
prayed on it, and she said that was the only
time that she ever prayed on it, Like I said
it plenty times in the past, and she said that
(56:29):
was the only time that she prayed on it.
Speaker 1 (56:31):
And I was authentic with it as a husband.
Speaker 3 (56:35):
What have you discovered now, boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Your boyfriend? I mean, we got the boy, so you
married the boy. Then y'all got right back together like
six months later.
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Something I mean, I want to do. I want this
point to be made because you think I'm who I am,
and I was out of control. I was out of control,
and this threat was there for years, for years and
years and years and years and years. And it's like
(57:07):
the boy cried wolf, like whatever, I heard that before,
you know what I mean. And then it was like
she got to the point where like, yo, I gotta
show this. I gotta do something to show him I'm serious.
And that's what happened. You in that courtroom. You're looking
over there and you see number one right there, and
(57:28):
you're looking down at that paper and them tears hitting
that paper and they don't say, you know, I've been
Georgetown versus Georgetown and it's been a scrimmage or sixes
versus sixers and you're looking at the stat sheet whatever
I'm looking at Iverston versus Iverson. You know what I mean?
And like, yo, it's real, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (57:49):
Like, did you as suit? Look, I really was defiant then,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (57:55):
Like you got me in here, you know what I mean?
And I had a judge, was vicious, like I couldn't
do nothing right.
Speaker 9 (58:03):
Even in that moment, you were defined And I guess
upset even though you knew, because you said you knew
you were out of control. But so like in that moment,
why are you defining upset if she's just doing what
she thinks is gonna help, I guess, to get you
to a better spot for her.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
I was selfishly thinking about my Demid because I know
in my heart and in my mind that I can't
live with her. You know what I'm saying, Like I
know it, like I know it. I took I took
her love for me for granted, you know what I mean,
Like as far as she loving me so much that
(58:38):
I felt like you know that she would never she
would never go nowhere like this is all I've known.
This is the only love that I've ever known as
far as like, I've never loved someone like this in
my life, you know what I mean? Then a lot
of times, you know, all women would say, or even guys,
you know, anybody that's you know, logical about anything, how
(59:01):
you love her so much and you do the things?
And I don't have answer.
Speaker 1 (59:06):
We never do though, as men, we never do. We
don't know why we do the we do.
Speaker 9 (59:11):
So how has not drinking and you know, it seems
like you're you know, your focus is different in this
time of your life. How has that made you guys
rediscover each other in a relationship?
Speaker 3 (59:19):
Oh yeah, I'm I'm Claire Huxtable. I'm in Cliff. I'm
Cliff Huxtable. Now like I'm I'm I kind of get
a feeling like I'm the guy like I felt always
felt like, you know, I was the guy she always
wanted you know what I mean, wanted to be, you know,
wanted me to be. But I really feel like that
(59:40):
guy now, Like I feel like it's not the Huxtables
around there obviously, but like she love you know this me,
you know, because you always getting this me it's hard
to take advantage of somebody that can see clear as hell,
you know what I mean, opposed to being nonchalant about everything.
(01:00:00):
You know what I mean, likes you know my homeboys
says a different chuck. Now you know what I mean.
I see, I see what's going on.
Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
All the stuff that I used to, you know, not
pay attention to, I'm paying attention to it now, you
know what I mean. And I just think you know,
by me making this decision, it's so much better for
not just myself, everybody around men. I can help better.
My advice is better, you know what I mean. Like,
I'm a better friend now, I'm a better family member.
Speaker 14 (01:00:32):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
You know what I'm saying. Like, I promise you I'm
the smartest man in the world because I know him.
Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Not saying you got to I do. Got one last question.
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Man, you changed the entire culture of basketball, but to me,
you change black culture. You also change hip hop culture,
from your fashion to your attitude to just your authenticity.
Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
When you see how the NBA in the.
Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
World embraces individuality, now, do you feel celebrated or do
you still feel misunderstood?
Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
It's I get the opportunity like this is opportunity for me,
you know what I mean, Like all of those years
you wanted to you know, you wanted just man, you
got me wrong. Talk about it to your family, your friends. Man,
I'm misunderstood. Man, they don't They ain't getting it, you
know what I mean. It ain't like that. And then
(01:01:23):
this platform and then all the other big platforms and
you know, just you guys giving me an opportunity to
come up here and ask me that I want to
answer that that I want the world to know. And
this book took years, you know what I mean, The
documentary took years to do. I'm just happy that I
get an opportunity to tell my story or write my
(01:01:44):
story and help and help and help somebody. All I
want is for people to get out of it. Man.
It's all right to be you. It's all right, you
know what I mean. It's it's things that's going to
happen in your life and it's gonna be tough, you
know what I mean. But that's when you're gonna lean
(01:02:05):
on number one. You're gonna lean on him, You're gonna
lean on God. You don't they don't ask him? Uh,
any you don't question him at all, you know what
I mean. Whatever happened happened. I ain't. My Grandma told
me when I went to jail that bowling out of
the game. I said, now, why are they doing this
to me if they know I didn't do what they said?
I did question, never questioned God, and I've never done
(01:02:27):
it since then. You know what I mean, Whatever he do,
you know what I mean, I'm cool with it. You
know what I mean. He driving this car and I'm
gonna just sitting there, ride shotgun wherever he take me.
That's where I'm going, and I'm gonna live with the results.
So that's that's the only thing I want. I just think, man,
live and laugh. Love man.
Speaker 14 (01:02:46):
We love you, brother, You.
Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Understand this out right now?

Cops say lanes had been closed on the highway while
a crash investigation occurred, and Paul Pierce, who was sleeping,
(01:03:55):
was discovered following their reopening at around eleven thirty five pm.
Officers noted that officers noted signs of alcohol impairment when
officers encounted Piers. The police say they conducted a dui investigation.
Pierce was arrested on suspicional driving under the influence of alcohol,
a violation of California Vehicle cold and taken into a
(01:04:18):
Central Los Angeles area office.
Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Now how they know you was drunk?
Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Did they do a brethhyalizer and they smell liquid because
I'm telling you something. When you forty seven, sometimes I'd
just be driving mid afternoon and I'd be tied. If
I tell you, I'd be calling my wife like y'all
gotta pull over something.
Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
I'm sleepy.
Speaker 9 (01:04:32):
So well, they said they conducted a DUI investigation. But
to your point, and you know, also your age. Paul
Pierce says he posted a photo and the photo is
literally him sitting in traffic in the high on the
highway in the driver's seat, and he says, imagine being
stuck in stan Steel traffic for forty five minutes and
fell asleep. I took this picture that night because I've
(01:04:54):
never been in stan Stel traffic for this long. I'm old,
I'm tired, and I fell asleep. I'm good, y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
Thanks for the man dropping the clues, bom bom bins.
And why do y'all just jump to the d UI.
Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
I need more proof that there was the duy because
I totally understand him. I when I always stand him
at this age.
Speaker 9 (01:05:11):
Yeah, I said, to your point, to your to your age,
I ain't talking to you, okay, okay, all right, cool.
Speaker 1 (01:05:17):

y man. So it's been exciting, man, the Just Hell
Podcast with doctor J. Man.
Speaker 14 (01:18:11):
We lunched back in April and just to see how
it's grown.
Speaker 22 (01:18:15):
Uh.
Speaker 14 (01:18:15):
Shaw was on me for years, like, bro, you gotta
do a podcast to like you got to be on
the network.
Speaker 22 (01:18:21):
And I wasn't, if I could be honest, I wasn't
a podcaster because I'm like, man, Jess, how this is.
This is a gift that y'all do to get up
and and to talk and all of that. I love
to speak because when I speak, it's I have this
this structure that I follow and then I'm going these
different places. But the podcast has really grown me to
(01:18:43):
hear other people's stories. So it's like therapy and real time.
And from having my sister to Roger on Kirk, Franklin,
Rico Love, and then I have some people who are
just everyday people that are sharing their healing journeys and
just sharing where they are. So it's been a fun journey.
Speaker 11 (01:19:01):
Man.
Speaker 14 (01:19:01):
So now I can officially say yes, I'm a podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Hello.
Speaker 9 (01:19:07):
You guys have like a really cool dynamic because I mean,
you're pastor you do mental health and like all these things. Right,
But y'all know in our community, a lot of times
when you're going through some people like just pray about it.
How do y'all have conversations around that.
Speaker 6 (01:19:19):
It's more than prayer. I think prayer is very essential,
but it's the backbone. It's a substratum of everything. But
there has to be practical application because you're human, so
that is the spiritual component. But if you don't have friendship,
you don't have people that can help walk you through
the journey. Then you'll often become lost, and I like
to say people become mystic. They just stay in this
(01:19:42):
spooky vial. And again that's not to talk about the
church background, because I have a strong church background, but
having therapists, having people that can actually supply sufficient support,
really can help change the dynamic of what you're going through.
I think that's very important.
Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
And Joe used to be associated pastor at the Potterhouse, right, yes, sir,
but did you love to go to Florida?
Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
I didn't know that could happen. They made it sound
like you was transferring schools or something, you were playing
one place. I didn't know that could happen.
Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
I mean, I just the way they do I guess,
I guess the part of hoouse. So the way you know,
the way they worded it, I'm like, okay.
Speaker 6 (01:20:20):
Yeah, I went there to learn from who I believed
to be the greatest of all times. I think Mishop
Jakes is the greatest of all times. And I went
there to learn, and there was an opportunity that opened
up in Florida, and so that's how I ended up there.
I ended up there because he trained me. I was prepared,
and we ended up in Florida and God's been good
to mississ have been there.
Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
How did that work?
Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Though?
Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Like when you like, like what does the spirit tell you?
Like I want to be I need you to go,
you know, lead this congregation, that lead this flock.
Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
Now, like what is it? What hits you?
Speaker 6 (01:20:51):
When I was in Oklahoma originally, and when I was there,
I knew that I wasn't going to be there forever,
and so the opportunity for change didn't start at the
Potter's house. I was coaching at Oklahoma State University and
pastoring at the same time, and so the opportunity to
shift came at a good season. Church was doing fine,
(01:21:14):
my work was doing great, and I went to preach
for Bishop Jakes. So I had to sit back and realize, Okay,
the things that I want to see happened in the
future career wise and ministry wise, came through an opportunity
of another individual. There wasn't a voice from heaven a
chap that came down and said move.
Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
It wasn't that.
Speaker 6 (01:21:32):
It was a man of God looked at me and said,
what's your future? What do you want to be? What
do you see happening? Where do you want to go?
And when I told him that, then it unlocked something
for me to start looking at. And when I started
looking at it, I started saying all the insufficiencies, all
the places that needed work, all the places that needed
a model or mentor, and he felled that void. And
(01:21:53):
then from there it was a challenge, what do you want?
And I had to answer that question and that answer
was move.
Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
Wow.
Speaker 22 (01:22:00):
That's where all met, right, yeah, yeah, we met in Dallas.
A friend of mine had sent me a video and like, yo,
I just found your spirit animal. I was like, all right,
So I started watching his clips. He in the gym
killing it, and you know, he's a strength and conditioning coach,
so we got the whole football background from watching how
he speaks. I said, Yo, I really rock with this dude.
(01:22:21):
So I'm pause. I slid his DMS, but but I
hit him up and like, yo, brother, I love what
you're doing.
Speaker 8 (01:22:31):
Man.
Speaker 22 (01:22:32):
And we we had some exchange, but didn't know that
we both moved to Dallas during the pandemic at the
same time, and slowly, you know, started kind of engaging.
But I'd engage him to come on my tour to Jessea.
Bro I had four voices and I was like, you know,
we need a five and I could reached out to him.
I said, bro, I want you to go on tour.
(01:22:53):
Now here's the story about the development of our friendship.
This brother was not having it, Jess. And the more
I would text him is like, hey man, you know brother,
you know look forward to having your on tour. He
would come on the tour, he would get on stage,
do his thing and would just sit in the back
and wouldn't say anything. And I felt, you know, that
(01:23:15):
he needed friendship, but I also felt compelled, like I
just couldn't let it go. And I would text him
and check in on him, like, hey man, I hope
you all as well, brother, Just checking in and he
would just text back the army, mooji, the muscles because
he was not And I understood as we begin, because
it's difficult men, and study shows this. Men have a
(01:23:40):
difficult time making friends after thirty five. And this is
the real reason why a lot of men are suffering
in silence and suffering in their mental health because of
the lack of community and the lack of friendships there.
Speaker 14 (01:23:52):
They're not like women.
Speaker 22 (01:23:54):
They don't engage and most men don't build friendships beyond
their workplace. And our friendship started from a challenge of
who can lose the most weight and get down to
you know, get down to the lowest body fat. And
that built the friendship that people see that we have
today and the love that I have for this brother.
And I saw it in him, Like I said, Bro,
(01:24:16):
You're wanted the best to me. And I think when
you are building friendship, you want to have friendships where
somebody can see more in you than you see in
yourself in that current space.
Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
While are you so god it doctor Tumman? Yeah, please.
Speaker 14 (01:24:32):
Tell the world.
Speaker 22 (01:24:33):
How tell the world how he would leave me on
red And it didn't bother me because and I want
to add this, when you have dealt with your rejection
or abandonment issues, how a person response doesn't trigger you
because I didn't know what his experience was, but I
knew I wanted to keep showing up for him.
Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
Friendship is important to me, It's very essential. And I'm
too old to start over in certain places. I had
fresh room, fresh wounds, as it pertains to mail. The
male friendships, brothers, real strong relationships, and I had just
gotten to the point to where I was okay without
the relationship. And so when this good brother reached out
(01:25:15):
to me, he was very persistent. I didn't understand him.
I didn't understand this process, his makeup. He's a therapist,
so his mental is really really strong, mind strong, but
it's more defensive versus, you know, just being vulnerable. So
I had a difficult time trying to be vulnerable. And
so he kept pressing and kept pressing and kept pressing.
(01:25:36):
I wasn't really interested in that. I was okay. I wasn't.
I wasn't I was okay with working out. As we
continued to train, we started having therapeutic conversations about what's
going on in your mind? Why are you having a
hard time dealing with abandonment, rejection, what actually happened? And
then as far as my career speaking, he said, hey, man,
(01:25:57):
I want you to come on a tour with me.
I went on the tour, but I still wasn't going
to get close to all the rest of the guys.
I had broken through with him just a little bit.
So we go on the tour, we do our thing,
and I sit in the back, not talking because I
don't want to be involved emotionally again. That way however,
we broke through. He's become a best friend. Over five years.
(01:26:19):
Now I have a much softer side. I was too
hard and I think God did an amazing thing by
bringing him.
Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
Into my life.
Speaker 9 (01:26:27):
Recently, everything that happened with you in a faith city.
So you were there, and then they sent out a
letter that you will no longer be senior pastor. That
was very public, especially cause you know the church. They
want to know what happened. No one knows why that happened.
So two questions, I don't know if you can share
what actually happened, and then second question, you spoke about it.
Speaker 1 (01:26:47):
How was processing that publicly?
Speaker 6 (01:26:49):
What happened, We disagreed, were disagreed in mission, and the
disagreement didn't allow us to go forward, so that relationship
was severed. Processing it has been difficult because it's public and.
Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
It hurts.
Speaker 6 (01:27:07):
I love those people, I love him. Trying to move
forward is something you have to do to live. I
don't care what the career is, and if you stay
in a fracture, you're going to break, You're going to crumble.
So trying to move forward with a cast when everyone
is already determined, pre determine what you've done and.
Speaker 14 (01:27:29):
Have absolutely no idea and no information, no information. It's difficult.
Speaker 6 (01:27:35):
So trying to talk to your children, pick your children
up and move anywhere, no matter what the career is,
to get them to trust you as a father. Hey,
I made the right decision to pick us up and
move us across the world and then have to turn
to figure out how we're going to make it. The
pressure of this was what it was. Now I got
(01:27:57):
to figure out how to make it what it is is.
It's difficult as a husband as a provider. Now do
I trust in God one hundred percent? I trust in
all the skills that God has given me, and He
has opened up doors that are just unbelievable for me.
So process processing it has been I'm not gonna say difficult,
(01:28:20):
but it's been uneasy. But through it all, I still
thank God. That's not that's not a church answer. That's
my faith because I know all things work together for
the good.
Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
I wish you was here this weekend because you know,
we got the mental health expo.
Speaker 14 (01:28:35):
We got call.
Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
Yeah. My good sister Debbie Brown came up with this.
Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
He wanted to do this panel called a Reclaiming Faith
Healing from religious trauma and pastor call Linton, doctor Teddy Reeves.
Speaker 1 (01:28:46):
Are on it, and I think it was crad I
was up here talking about churches. It was La cree Right.
Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
It's just like, man, what do you do when when
when your trauma comes from your ainks youre when that
hurt comes from that place, you go for salvation?
Speaker 6 (01:29:00):
Man.
Speaker 22 (01:29:01):
I think one of the things that my father's passed
some thirty five years walking alongside you know him. You
know when you look at church, it's a hospital, yeah,
and it's a hospital that has a lot of sick
people who don't take their meds. And when you have
people who don't take their meds, you have people who
don't understand how their behaviors, don't understand how their reaction impacts.
Speaker 14 (01:29:27):
Those that are in the hospital as well.
Speaker 22 (01:29:29):
So it's almost like you in one room and you're
trying to get some rest because the doctor said you
need to rest, and you have somebody down here that
is having a breakdown because they just heard the diagnosis
that they can't change. And I think the unfortunate thing
that has happened is that a lot of churches have
not thought about mental health in the faith conversation, and
(01:29:52):
I say, you can't talk faith, you can't talk God
and omit mental health when God may does.
Speaker 14 (01:30:00):
He made mind, body, and spirit.
Speaker 22 (01:30:02):
Mental health is your social it's your emotional and physical makeup.
It's how we do life. I call mental health life
in motion. There is nowhere around it. And I think
now you see in a turn some pastors are, you know,
bringing in mental health professionals. Some pastors are bringing in
clinicians and different things like that, because what I saw
(01:30:23):
growing up is what you speak about.
Speaker 14 (01:30:26):
I saw people that were embarrassed.
Speaker 22 (01:30:30):
Like I can see right now this young girl when
we were growing up who got pregnant and they bring
her before church, and I'm like, all right, where's the God?
So you brought the girl before church and that she's pregnant,
but where's the guy?
Speaker 14 (01:30:41):
Right? Takes two to tango, right.
Speaker 22 (01:30:43):
So now you have this young girl who grows up
with this level of shame and it's trauma because they
brought her out before and you have a lot of embarrassment.
And so I feel that churches have focused on saving
souls but not restoring mind. Wow, you have to restore
a person since mine. It's great that we're going to
get their spirits saved, and you want people to you know,
(01:31:04):
go to heaven. But I think it's important that we
begin helping people on how to not just come to
the altar and throw their hands up and be you know, delivered,
but how to walk this thing out for their complete healing,
because it's one thing especially like like let's just take
somebody who's dealt with molestation, abandonment, rejection, and it's calls
(01:31:27):
these unhealthy things. Yeah, I pray for you, lay hands
on you, put all on you. You greases like greasy
like a piece of chicken, and you know what I'm saying.
So but it's like that now this person leaves and
there's no support. And the reason church hurt hurts so
bad because people have an expectation that I would be
treated better in here than I am out there.
Speaker 14 (01:31:48):
And it's just.
Speaker 22 (01:31:50):
Unfortunate, you know that we you know, have so many people,
particularly in the black culture, and religious trauma is a
real thing. It's called RTS, religious traumatic sins. It's a
real diagnosis in the dissem and most of us are
challenged with it because we thought we would see God
in the very people who said come as you are yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:32:12):
Yeah, let's make sure that we're clear. The church is
full of trauma. It is not absent of trauma. The
very church itself was founded on trauma. Okay, Jesus being beaten,
it's traumatic. Being betrayed prior to being beaten, it's traumatic.
(01:32:34):
You die the most horrible death, crown of thorns, nails
in your hands, in your feet, pierced in the side,
bloody and naked.
Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
That's trauma. The whole thing is trauma.
Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
The twelve or the eleven that take off running to
go back to doing what they were doing prior when
they see that he's dead, they're dealing with trauma. They're like,
I'm going back fishing. Forget this, i can't do this.
Jesus comes back so much trouble with them. They don't
believe it, even though Jesus told them I'm coming back.
(01:33:07):
Change their brain. See the trauma, that's all trauma. Well,
Jesus comes back. Boom, he restores Peter. So there's the
restoration that the church should have. So he restores them.
Hey do you love me? Yeah, feeda sheep, you love me,
Feed my sheep? You love me, feed my sheep? Boom,
he restores him. He does his thing, Jesus gets ready
to leave. He say, look y'all go wait on the power.
(01:33:27):
Wait on the power. And then they come out. So
they get the power, they start evangelizing the Book of Acts.
They're doing airy thing. The church is built off of that.
So it's got an answer, and it's got all these problems.
So it's never gonna be a place that you're gonna
go and it's absent of trauma or it's absent of
the things that you guys are talking about. I think
(01:33:49):
the issue is trying to find the fine balance of
this soul and spirit body balance. When it comes to
to how we're giving that information. You got some churches
that believe that Sunday morning is pure word driven. I'm
gonna teach you, I'm gonna disciple you spiritually. Then you
(01:34:09):
have some other churches that are little bit more free
and say, hey, we're gonna do mental health stuff and
therapy and fitness training on Sunday. There are other people
that don't like that. I didn't come to church for that.
I came to church for Genesis. I ain't come to
church for that, okay. And then you have some churches
that say we're gonna put together small groups where you
can come get this mental health. Then you got other
churches that say, look, we've hired ten therapists that are here.
(01:34:34):
I think we have to go back to what I
said earlier. You got to own your thing. Something may
have happened at the church, Okay, it's no different than
it happening right here in this company. But you still
got to own your thing. If this station, a problem
happens here, but you all still offer therapy. It's stilled
up to me as an employee to go down to
(01:34:56):
HR and say, listen, I need therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:34:59):
This is a POWERM conversation to have on World Mental
Health Day.
Speaker 14 (01:35:02):
Man, yeah, man and always brother, you know I love
love you man to the moon and back.
Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
Man and always man.
Speaker 14 (01:35:07):
We've been rocking for the past six for five years.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
The Breakfast Club, Yes, the world more Dangerous morning to
show the Breakfast Club, charlamagnea God just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (01:35:33):
DJ nvy Nby is off today, but right now it's
time for Path to Awks.
Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
Yeah, DJ comes.
Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
Cable. How are y'all black and Holly favorite what you
got for us this week?
Speaker 21 (01:35:57):
Okay, I really picked like five songs, but I'm just
going to focus on three because Brandon said that these
were the great ones. Okay, because y'all be saying that
I'll be picking the wrong parts and stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:36:06):
So I got an African song.
Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
And was just three songs. You can play more of them, Okay,
long longer, longer parts of them.
Speaker 21 (01:36:19):
Well, I picked three, and the first one that I'm
going to start with is this new Ruben Vincent and
nine Wonder song called Dray and Sydney.
Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
Let me I like this.
Speaker 18 (01:36:28):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
Here the thing I like about Ruben Vincent. Number one,
he's from the Carolinas.
Speaker 11 (01:36:32):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
Number two, he's a young man who connected with a
OG producer in Ninth Wonder, And I think when you
have the esthetic that a Ruben Vincent has, you need
a producer like a Ninth Wonder to bring the best
out of him. So this project that he drives is
solely produced by ninth Wonder.
Speaker 21 (01:36:47):
Solely produced by nine and it's crazy, like on this
record is Rohiem Devon and this artist named Sweater, but
they got Raphael on the project.
Speaker 1 (01:36:57):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (01:36:57):
Joe Scott flipped, I'm missing maddening.

Speaker 5 (01:37:41):

Speaker 21 (01:37:50):
I really liked this record that she got on there
with Flow Millie and it's called Lotion.
Speaker 4 (01:37:53):
I like it, I love it and I love a
fluent I know that her part, but I love fluming
everything about flu Milly.
Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
I like the energy of it because it reminds me
of the eighties all day, you know what I mean,
Like jam on jam, but I want. I just feel
like the words could have been a little clearer, like
maybe a different subject matter.
Speaker 1 (01:38:12):
It's gonna be called lotion. That's a good message because
y'all be ashy.
Speaker 14 (01:38:15):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (01:38:18):
Shape butter babies definitely.
Speaker 2 (01:38:22):

from New York. Yeah, man, Nico just dropped the new joint.
This is the second release of the year. It's called
peel Us and he's also going to be on tour
with j I d On. The God does like ugly tour,
so you guys can definitely check him out.
Speaker 1 (01:38:47):
I love that. I like Nico Brim this.
Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
I'll be tripping when people say that there's no lyricsist nowadays.
These little be spitting You got to know who to
listen to. In a way is more discovery, right. I
don't know what you would call that, but it's like
you're discovering these people. I just don't know where you're
discovering them, because I mean, you know, we got all
the same outlets. I don't know if it's radio, I
don't know if it's streaming, you know what I mean,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:39:09):
Know where do you be finding these in the pocket artists.
I feel like I don't help as much as it
used to.
Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
But that's what now it tapped into. I think you're
gonna find what you're looking for. If you're looking for
the lyricsts, you'll find them because they there.
Speaker 21 (01:39:22):
Yeah, she's always putting me on find them through features
like oh okay, if I like Jid, then Jid does
at regular Marco, and then I hear Marco he doesn't regular,
Like I end up finding him like that somebody you
go explore their music like photo shoots, like through their aesthetic.
Speaker 9 (01:39:38):
So like somebody like ling, you know the artist thing.
I didn't know she was a artist. I was like
the way she looked, and then I.
Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
Heard her music. I know you put me on the link.
I think play up here.
Speaker 9 (01:39:46):
Yeah to you as well. I didn't know she was
a artist. I was like she fired like I like her,
I'll put you on her.
Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
I will encourage all you artists that can spit though,
to get with the o G producers, get with the
knife one, just get with the havocs. If you can't
get with this static select is, get with people who
got that sound and can bring the best out of
your lyricism.
Speaker 21 (01:40:04):
I would definitely like to say watching Ninth produce this
project with Rubin definitely change my perspective on music, like
or just producing an album period, because I didn't really realize.
Speaker 1 (01:40:14):
All that goes.
Speaker 21 (01:40:15):
It's not just to beat in the rap like you
gotta really tie it all the way in together.
Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
Get with the Pete Rocks, Get with them guys that
really know how to bring the best out.
Speaker 21 (01:40:22):
Of lyrics, and you know, give it a Nilis Moone
because she's trying to be like them too. So you
trust me in my vision, you know, I would appreciate that.
But if you guys like the songs, make sure you
guys tune into the certified playlist. You can click the
link in my bio at Nila Simone. That's n y
LA s y M O N E E E. And
also if you guys do like the spinners Me Ninth
Wonder and Static Selected and Rob Markman are actually having
(01:40:44):
another rap night. It's called the ECO short for Ecosystem
is bridging the gap between hip hop on November fourth

Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
So pull up on us.
Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Okay, we got the People's Choice mixed up next. And

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well, congratulations V. I'm gonna hold it down for you, babe.
Congratulations to the New York Giants.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (04:36):
Meme?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Good morning?
Speaker 10 (04:38):
All right, So we start this morning in Washington, where
the government shut down is now and it's tenth days
and there's still yep, tenth day and there's still no
vote to reopen the government of the Senate left town
late last night with no deal, guarant ting that shut
down will stretch into next week. That also means military
members are likely to miss their first paycheck. As a
(04:59):
standoff off drags on now. Earlier in the day, Senate
Democrats they blocked a Republican funding bill for the seventh time,
where both sides they remain stale locked over healthcare subsidies
and spending priorities. Now, Republicans they want a short term,
clean funding bill, while Democrats insist any deal must include
the extension of the Affordable Care Act credits that are
(05:22):
set to expire at the end of the year. Now,
as frustrations grow in Washington, it's hitting home for families
across the country. During a c SPAN live call on Thursday,
a Republican mother from Virginia whose husband serves in the military,
made an emotional plead directly to House Speaker Mike Johnson.
She said, if the shutdown continues that her husband, if
(05:44):
he misses a paycheck next week, her two medically fragile
children would lose access to the medication they need to survive.
Let's listen to how this shutdown is affecting everyday, real people.
Speaker 11 (05:55):
If we see a lapse in pay fifteenth, my children
ar do not get to get the medication that's needed
for them to live their life. Because we live paycheck
to paycheck. I'm begging you to pass this legislation. My
kids could die. We don't have the credit because of
(06:16):
the medical bills that I have to pay regularly. You
could stop this, and you could be the one that
could say military is getting paid and the audacity of
someone who makes six figures a year to do this
to military families is insane.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
She's absolutely right. Yeah, like, she's absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
The rent, the mortgage, the electric bills, gas bills, the
healthcare bills.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
They don't care that the government is shut down. They
want their money.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, man, they do because the bill Zone style.
Speaker 10 (06:46):
Well, Johnson told her he was angry about situations like hers,
but again he blamed Democrats for blocking that funding plan
in the Senate.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
So we'll continue to watch this. It will of course
play into next week.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Gonna be the political win.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Nadi's A Party thinks it is because people do not
care about which party is responsible for what.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
They just want their goddamn money. That's it, exactly.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
And in other news, conservative political group Turning Point USA
says it is launching its own halftime show to compete
with the NFL, setting up what could what could be
one of the most politically charged super Bowl Sundays. Yet now,
the group founded by activists Charlie Kirk, announced the All
American halftime Show, set to air during the Super Bowl
on February eighth. Now, a few details have been released,
(07:34):
but a website for the event promises more information soon
about who will perform and how fans can watch. A
survey on the site, it's asking fans what kind of
music they like, listing options like country, hip hop, and rock,
along with one choice that's labeled anything in English.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
The people are crazy, patty anything, y'all matter not have
no na chos that y'all super Bowl crazy? Okay, no
nachos that your goddamn super Bowl party?
Speaker 10 (08:07):
Then okay, absolutely So the move appears to be in
direct response, of course, to the backlash over the NFL's choice.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
You know, the headliner is Bad Bunny.
Speaker 10 (08:17):
He's the Puerto Rican superstar known for his chart topping
hits and his outstanding or out spoken political views. Now,
some conservatives argue that Bad Bunny doesn't quote reflect American values.
So this is what this is all about, the quote
unquote American value.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I would say that Bad Bunny represents the most American
of values, because that's what America is supposed to be about. Inclusivity.
It's supposed to be about you know, freedom, liberty, and
justice for all. People come to America to achieve things
like bad Bunny is achieved. Like I would say that
Bad Bunny is what you would call the American dream
in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Wells, when you come, you can come from you know what,
by the Puerto Rico is America? What are we talking about?
Speaker 11 (08:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (09:00):
Not because they wanted me exactly, And America's supposed to
be the melting pot.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I think that's what you were Yes, you were saying exactly.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
Absolutely, So all right, well, coming up at seven, it's
coughing season, but this year there's a new player in
the mix.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Will tell you what it is and how it's changing
the game.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Damn, people still be out there looking to get coughed.
I guess, so get cold. D I guess I don't
be thinking about it because I've been comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, yeah, any might be trying to be comfortable around
this time. You're knowing to hold all summer, but now
you want to be comfortable one person. Absolutely, it ain't
never change. Well, guess what for you?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Ladies in a small town are you guys in a
small town, everybody know he slept with all summer, so
why the hell would they settle down with your stupid
ass When it get cold, I'm gonna wait till it's
freezing to get chlamidia.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Stop when it five a five one oh five to one,
it's time for get it off your chest. If you
want to call up right now and tell us why
you're blessed, you could do that. If you want to
call up and tell us why you're stretched, you can
do that as well. It's the world's most dangerous want
to show the breakfast club.
Speaker 12 (09:56):
The breakfast club, this is your time to get it
off your chest, whether your man or blessed.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I hate the way that you walk, the way you talk,
I hate the waiting to dress.
Speaker 12 (10:07):
Everything when he is best call up next eight hundred
five eighty five five one.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Not just me, I'm with the coach of philis. Good morning,
get it off your chest. Who's this?
Speaker 11 (10:17):
Good morning?
Speaker 13 (10:17):
Breast food for Mike? I got doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Pretty good?
Speaker 13 (10:22):
Hey, Charla Mann? I love you, but I got to
give you Donky a day today.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay, talk to me.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
Stop stop giving hackeen Jeffrey's a hard time man. I
don't give yes, you do never never go hard at
Trump like you do.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You know what time time all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I hate when y'all say that, y'all do remember Trump
called me a racist sleeves bag with low i Q
earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I don't know why y'all say that, as if I
don't as if I don't give Trump donkey of today
all the time. I just gave him Donkey Day last week.
Speaker 13 (10:50):
Huh, you go soft on Trump, man, I'm telling you, Charlomagne.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I don't. I really don't understand this logic. I think
you just think that to be out of here. Okay.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
One is what they're doing is Trump has always been
trying to get get rid of that Codable Care Act.
So he got he's playing chess with the Democrats. He's
playing chess. So now he's blaming it on them. You know,
he's a mash that creating narrative by know that. So
my thing is if if they're premiums go up, it's
going to triple for a lot of people, then we
can't afford to get to the doctor for check ups
(11:20):
at Q and and he always strussed us to do.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know what I would have did if I was
the Democrats, even though I'm not a politician, I would
have let I would have let the Republicans do that,
let the healthcare prices shoot up. And then now you
can point the finger directly at Republicans and say, look
how Republicans raise your healthcare.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
But you know what's happening right now.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Everybody's confused because federal workers aren't getting their paychecks, and
so now they're putting the fingers at each other, and
everybody's blaming each other for people hurting right now in
the moment.
Speaker 13 (11:47):
But Trump is doing this, man, charlat Magne, he's doing this.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm not get rid of that. I'm not saying he's not.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'm just simply saying it would have been easier to
point the finger at Republicans and say, hey, there are
no reason that your healthcare prices are up. As a hold,
everybody pointing the finger at each other right now, saying
this is why the government is shut down, This why
you're not getting paid. It's either Democrats or as Republicans.
It's just confusion right now. And guess what, don't nobody
care you just want their money so they can pay
their bills.
Speaker 13 (12:11):
I agree, I agree, I've went all that. I agree,
but Trump is the one doing it. They can have
to control, they have the power.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I don't think I mean, you're right, but once again,
I don't think it matters because people just want their paychecks.
But if you to let the healthcare prices shoot if
you do let the healthcare prices shoot up, not saying
that that would have been a good thing. If you're
trying to get a political win, it's easier to point
to finger out Republicans to say they caused this, right, I.
Speaker 13 (12:31):
Got you, hey, but that's that's all. I want to
stop giving them a hard time.
Speaker 14 (12:34):
Show no, I will not.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Have a good day. Peace. Get it off your chest.
Who's this?
Speaker 14 (12:42):

The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, since the World's Most Dangerous Money show to Breakfast Club,

Lauren Larossa becoming a street.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail. I'm
a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd
be having the latest on you.
Speaker 14 (18:35):
The latest with Lauren la Rossa.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Sometimes you have sat, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 14 (18:42):
It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
To me, this is a very sad day for Drake
because a judge has decided to dismiss the lawsuit, the
defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That he has over Not Like Us.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
After all that, yes, so the docs say from the judge,
because the court concludes that the alleged that the alleged
defamatory statements and not Like Us are non actionable opinion,
the motion to dismiss is granted because when Drake filed
the lawsuit, Universal Music Group came back and said, Judge,
this is a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
This is just a song.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
There's no there's no proven factor that we defamed anything.
We want you to dismiss this. And the judge is
saying yes now yeah. So Drake's attorney has already given
statements to some outlets. Didn't respond to me, but they
say it yeah, but they say that they plan to
appeal this and they look forward to taking this to
appeals court. But Universal Music Group did send a statement
(19:42):
to me as soon as this lawsuit was filed and
they say. A spokesperson from Universal Music Group says, from
the outset, this suit was an affront to all artists
and their creative expression and never should have seen the
light of day. We're pleased with the court's dismissal and
look forward to continue on our work successfully promoting Drake's
music and investing in his career. I felt like that
(20:03):
was the biggest sit down over there in the corner
and have a seat to.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Listen uphill Orange Pill, Chemical Pill, Kendrick lamar in five.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
All right, all right, this lawsuit wasn't found for.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Any other reason other than Drake's feelings was hurt because
Kendrick busted his ass in a rap battle. It's really
that simple. And I'm shocked the lawsuit lasted a year
and even got this far. This man got his ass
busted in the good old fashion rap battle. Nothing more,
nothing less. And we just have never seen how Drake
reacts under real pressure. And you learn a lot more
about people in defeat than you do in a win.
(20:37):
And we learned that Drake is a soul loser.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's it. No, And then like would this further damage
his ego?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
I know it is.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
It has to because it's gonna be crazy. It's like
a big ag slap in the face, I mean to
him for him.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, but also too. I read it's thirty eight pages.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
The judge's response that I read write all that because yeah, really,
because I wanted to know. The defamation is a hard
thing to make somebody say, yes, you were defamed. So
I wanted to know exactly what the judge thought about
his claims, because he said he had it up like
through art.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's already hard enough when somebody the fames you just talking. Yeah,
then when you do it through art and you got
all the free speech laws.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, so the judge said that you got to look
at this a couple of ways.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
First of all, you got to look at the forum,
which is where the the like whatever the defaming claims
were made. And the judge gave the example of like
if you see something on like Twitter or in like
an opinion column versus like a serious journalistic website, you
look at it differently. So when we're looking at these
claims made in a this song, people were gonna believe
(21:37):
that it's just a firey moment and that the stuff
that's being said may not be fact. The judge also
very definitely listened to all the songs, pulled out parts
from all the songs on both Drake's and kendrick side
where they were both going back and forth at each other,
and made the point that even though Drake was saying
that the court needed to look at not like us
as an isolated event and this one claim and this
(21:57):
one thing happened and it's ruining my career and UMG
is behind it, the judges like, we can't do that.
We got to look at everything because we need to
figure out where all this came from. And if we're
looking at everything, it was basically you guys are both
doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You imagine imagine that the judge listening to through all
the records like.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Like, why do we act like based off Drake's logic,
he didn't the fame Kendrick. This man said, Kendrick beat
his beat. This one man said Kendrick. One of kendrick
children was by his best friend calling him short. Don't
nobody I would think about the vertically challenge.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Right because getting like, how you just did you just
levitated a little bit? You ever think about that that
was thrown?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Don't nobody ever bring up this calling this man short
over and over the impact it might have had on him.
But luckily our hYP don't fight. That's why Kendrick busted
Drake's ass.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
He did, he did.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Damn. I'm Drake, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I know he ready be real meant and imagine how
me like the amount of niggas laughing at him.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
My supposed to on X yesterday laughing laughing emojis. And
I'm only going to infer that those emojis were laughing
at this lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
We would have been stopped talking about this ass kicking. Drake.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You keep reminding us of this ass kicking. You keep
reminding us that Kendrick busted your ass.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Hain't even say nothing by the losses.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I look at it a couple of ways. I look
at it in a couple of ways. I'm talking about
the fact that Drake is biracial, so I'm looking at
it from a black and white perspective. Okay, his daddy's
side engaged in a rap battle. His daddy said, go
out there and fight, God damren fight. And then when
Kendrick busted his ass, his mama's side said, oh no,
are we We're going to the police.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
That's what happened.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
That's right, And honestly, I feel like the judge's answer
also made you remember. I mean you, we were there,
so we remember how big the song was when it
first hit. But this was like a rereminder. I was
reading it like if I was Drake, I hope he
doesn't read this full thirty.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Minute and remind him it's not like us at the
super Bowl in February, a bunch of Grammys. But like
the answer was super Bowl two point oh, they put
it out already.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
Reminder.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You don't have to say re reminded. It's just reminded, reminded.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
Read that I'm trying to tell y'all. I was reading
this like, I hope Drake has some people around him
if if.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The people are import to hug, yes, like I'm not
even gonna hold you. I was reading this like the.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Judge listener all these songs, and she's a Kendrick fan.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Now, I bet that's why I said, imagine the judge listening,
so going back, imagine your favorite song being Euphoria like it's.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
One of Kendrick's songs, like scathing like and then he
came back with the scathing and fiery.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I'm like, oh she felt that igetch I think it was.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Laura said, Drake got emotional support. Niggas people got emotional support,
right that what you think, Baca.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
They need to be man to touch somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Sometimes you just need support. And you lost the rap battle,
man sucking up it. God damn, it's just a rat battle.
This is the last thing I will say else we close.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Drake's team also tried to make a point throughout this
lawsuit that we were not smart enough to understand the
full context of a rat battle, like one song, then
another song, then another song that not like us dropped
and it made us forget everything and that's why it's
so defamatory and umg is is the cause of it.
And the judge said, you sound crazy and you shouldn't
be using stuff from social media to prove evidence and
(25:26):
it's not substantial.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh, them guys really not like us because they don't
understand how rat battles work. That's exactly how rat battles work.
You go, I go, you go, I go, and one
of us gonna go so hard that the whole crowd
gonna be like, oh, like if you think about eight mile, right, Yes,
you don't remember nothing after that last rap.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Talking about himself, yup and then start talking about the
other nigga.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
No, I don't, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Well, he argued that not Like Us was so big
that nothing else should matter, and the judge said, that
doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
No, he's right, nothing like Nothing Like Us was so
big that nothing else matter than that bath.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But not to the point where we believe that Drake
was a pedophile. No, nobody ever thought that, just like
I never thought Kendrick beat his wife or I never thought,
you know, Kendrick was.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I don't even think Kendrick short for real. His presence
is too big. I don't even see a small I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
See literally went to the concert in life and yeah,
he looked like he looked larger than life than me.
He look like a giant. To Drake, I bet you drink,
go to sleep, and Kendrick looked ten feet tall. You
are you know what I want to hear right now?
What you already know?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What?
Speaker 14 (26:37):
Damn it?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Okay you are standing for? We can't tell when we
come back. We got front page news.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Plus Alan Ibinson will be joining us this hour, it's
the world's most dangerous morning to show to Breakfast Club. Yes,

Don't nobody care? Why don't nobody care? Because I like this.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I love the city of Philly, by the way, but
I also love New York. But I hate their teams.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Okay, but they won. What do the guy boys on?
Speaker 14 (27:20):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Okay, Giants, it don't manate one yesterday? Giants this year,
Big gout of New York.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
What's that? Memean?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
He me me?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Jess and Charlamagne.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
Okay, So we start this hour in New York where
Attorney General Letitia James, the Democrat who took on Donald
Trump's business empire, is now facing criminal charges of her
own a federal grand jury in Virginia and died at
James on two felony counts, bank fraud and making false
statements to a financial institution tied to what prosecutors call a.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Fraudulent mortgage scheme.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
Now it makes her the second high profile Trump critic
to face criminal charges, after former FBI Director James Comey's indictment.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Now.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
According to the ten page indictment filed Thursday in the
Eastern District of Virginia, prose prosecutors alleged that James misrepresented
the purpose of a home she purchased back in Norfolk
in twenty twenty. They say she applied for a second
home mortgage, a type of loan that comes with lower rates,
but then rented out the property to tenants, violating the
(28:21):
terms of the loan and pocketing roughly nineteen thousand dollars
in what they call improper games. Now, federal prosecutors also
accuse her of repeating those misrepresentations on insurance and tax documents.
Lindsay Halligan, Trump's former personal attorney turned interim US attorney
for the district, announced the charges yesterday, saying no one
(28:42):
is above the law Now James.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
She quickly fired back.
Speaker 10 (28:46):
These, calling these allegations a desperate political attack from a
president determined to punish his critics.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Let's hear more of what she had to say.
Speaker 19 (28:54):
He's forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding,
all because I didn't my job as the New York
State Attorney general. These charges are baseless, and the president's
own public statements make clear that his only goal is
political retribution.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
At any cost.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
She's absolutely right, and that's why we got to stop
backing like Donald Trump doesn't have a hitless like this
is nothing but revenge. Like it's almost pointless to even
read what chis James is being charged with because it's
some bs. Like Trump doesn't hide anything in regard to
who he has a problem with. He told y'all he
hates his opponents. He tells you who he doesn't want
on TV. He tells you you know what.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Politicians he wants jail, he wants people, He wants to
do people exactly the way that he was done when
they were coming after him.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I don't even think he cared these people get charged,
I mean, get convinceed.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Just getting ready to say that.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Analysts a lot of people are saying it doesn't even
matter if they get charged. It's just the fact that
they have to go before judge, they have to take
that perk blok, they have to do all of those things.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
So it's a win for him either way.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
So he cares to get he came to get charged.
You don't have if to get convicted.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Exactly exactly you said.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They got to take a perk walk.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
I mean, that's basically what he's in it for.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I just wanted to Garrett what you know about.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
First of all, I can see them taking a park
It's distressful, all right. I wouldn't blame any of them
if they took a perk take a.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Book, a park walk crazy okay? Oh purp, well girl,
and you get arrested and they had to bring you
in front of.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah on the way, I'll just still got U said,
come a gravy by my little elbow, like, don't turn around,
don't make a thing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Oh all right.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Well.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Court documents show that US District Judge Jamar Walker, which
is a Biden appointee, will preside over the case. She
is set to make her first court appearance on October
twenty fourth in Norfolk, so we will continue to watch
what happens in that case. And while one New York
official is fighting charges of her own, the city she
represents is taking on a different kind of battle big tech.
(30:51):
So on World Mental Health Day, New York City is
asking a judge to hold Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and others
accountable for what it calls a youth mental health crisis,
claiming the apps are designed to keep kids hooked, even
at the expense of their well being, and at three
hundred and twenty seven page federal complaint, the city says
platforms have become a public nuisance, forcing schools and hospitals
(31:14):
to shoulder mental health burdens that they did not choose.
Speaker 15 (31:17):
So.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
According to the lawsuit, the companies alleged that these social
media companies build algorithms, notifications, and engagement loops that exploit
psychological vulnerabilities and teenagers, contributing to depression, anxiety, self harm,
and other serious outcomes, and New York says it is
now being forced to pay the price more counseling, more
(31:38):
hospital visits, more strained on schools, and these types of lawsuits.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
They are not just limited to New York.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
In fact, more than thirty States have already they have
pending or pass actions against Meta alleging that Facebook and
Instagram are harming mental health, youth mental health definitely.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well, we can also do our best as paid parents
to keep our kids off those platforms, like I don't
allow my kids to use social media, and they don't
miss it because they never had it. Okay, now that
damn YouTube and those tablets with roadblock, that's a different story.
But you can't miss what you never experienced.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
And so after all the talk about how social media
is reshaping our mental health, now artificial intelligence is changing
something else, how we connect. So we've all heard of
cuffing season, that time of year when the weather cools
down and people start looking to lock in a partner
before winter.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
They are still really lax.
Speaker 10 (32:30):
Yep it technically run yep it runs from October to February.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
But this year the dating game is looking a little different.
Thanks to AI.
Speaker 10 (32:40):
People are now turning to dating apps and plugins that
use artificial intelligence to help them slide into someone's DM.
So apps like riz gpt, your Move, Cupid Bot, among others.
What they do is they analyze your profile and then
help you craft everything from that perfect icebreaker to that
clever one liner. Developers say it's meant to take the
(33:02):
pressure off of people who freeze up when trying to
start a conversation, but critics say it takes the authenticity
out of dating. So dating coaches they're already seeing it
play out in real time, with some people admitting they're
not sure they're falling for a person or falling for
an algorithm.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
But you see, it's like ups and downs whatever, right,
Because I like I like it because this gives the
people who can't talk to women, you know, the socially
awkward people that still want to date. It gives them
a chance to be able to communicate with a woman.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (33:32):
You think so, because to me it feels like a
different form of catfishing, because am I talking to you?
Or are you putting what I say in an app
and then spitting it out what you're going to say
back to me?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That's very true, And shouldn't you have a limit on
how many times you talk to a person through the computer?
At some point, if they're a MATRIXCT, y'all should meet
up and look at each other's eyes, you know, see
what each other smell like right.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Right, But you gotta take the lessons though, like you
gotta you can't just be on edge.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Just oh, how do I say this to the girl?
You have to be able to be trained by it.
You know, you gotta learn something from it, and then
you can even be honest when we do meet up
and see each other for the first time and I
smell you and all that, and you don't think you
have to be honest, be like, look, I ain't even
gonna hold you. I don't really know how to, you know,
spit the game to you. So I asked, you know,
chat ebt how to highlight at you. You know, I'm
(34:19):
gonna get better with it, but at least I did
my due dealing.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Just on trying.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
So I put the effort in to try to get
to communicate with you, to get to this point right here.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, And I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
For all the medium ugly guys like myself, the computer
does you a disservice.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
And I tell you why.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I would have never overachieved in the woman's department the
way I did in my life if it wasn't for
face to face conversation, because you know, because you know
if I was just talking to a woman during the
computer they'd be like, oh, you know, blah blah blah,
he's interested in whatever. But then when they meet me,
they're like, oh my god, when you present the medium
ugly from the beginning, but then they be like, oh,
he's funny, Oh he might be smart. Oh and I
(34:55):
like his conversation. That it's different that grows over time.
Start to look past the medium ugly.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Talking about being ugly. We talking about communication, like.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
We have to know how I mean, if it wasn't
for communication, I would have never overchieved in a woman's department.
But the communication, being face to face, eye to eye,
is what makes that happen.
Speaker 1 (35:14):

Good life? Life be life in the same fight, different
round for west. How much sound we got as much
as you mean, because I don't know where it's gonna go.
But look, man, friends, all right, so I know you
know what type of I mean. I'm just mean, Jess,
but you know, you know how you get to know
somebody from Afar and you can basically kind of tell
(36:46):
what type of person they are, you know what I mean. Obviously,
I've known you since I was in high school and
big fan of you. Bro friendships. Man, it's hard because
when you think about your friend obviously you know you
can't choose your family members, you know what I mean,
You're born into that. But your friends, you feel like
(37:07):
y'all got so much in common with each other and
you have so much love for them because you know
they're kind of like a basically a reflection of you,
or you got the same type of things in common
or whatever, and you just grow to love them like family.
They become you know, the guys become brothers and your
homegirls become your sisters. But it's rough, man, navigating do that.
(37:30):
You know what I mean. I know how much I
love my family, my friends. I got so much flack
when I first got into the league, you know what
I mean. It was the entourage bring you homeboys from
where you're from. You trust them so much, you love them.
You want them to go on the ride with you.
You want them to take this journey, you know through it.
It's new to me, I've been poor all my whole
(37:51):
life and then snap of a finger, I'm rich and famous.
And it's a lot, you know what I mean. So
you want to have so many people around you that
you love me and you trust.
Speaker 14 (38:01):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
And the money man just you know what I mean,
it's just you know what, And it's so different from me,
and it's so hard for me because with my athletic
ability that I was blessed with, I've been like this
since I was eight years old. Like I always felt
that I was rich when I was poor. I always
(38:25):
been famous, you know what I mean. When I was
eight years old, I go in the barbershopping guys seventeen, eighteen,
twenty twenty five years old, guys like, oh, there you go.
You know that's the one right there, that's him. So
it's always been that for me. I always had that attention,
you know what I mean. I always been like that.
You know. Once I got some money, it was no
(38:46):
different from me. Obviously I could do things with my
family and my friends that I couldn't do before. You
know that goes without saying. Man, just the painful lessons
of friends not being who you think they they are
when you add the rule all evil anything.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Something just recently happened.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Definitely, it happens all the time. But I feel a
pendulum swinging in another direction as far as how I
feel about it, like how it used to hurt me.
You know what I mean. You you tell someone you
want to find out if somebody your friend, you tell
them no one and their reaction with what said all
(39:28):
you know what I mean, chuck a man, I got
a business, you know, opportunity. I want to start this.
I want to start that. Man can give me a
hundred thousand and you don't even have to tell them no.
You can say not right now. You know later on.
But these are the same people pay their rent, pay
that over the years, child support, you know, pay your
(39:48):
mom rent. You know this that every time you go
to a jewelry store, you're taking them, you know, because
the most awkward feeling is I don't want to be
shining and looking good and my homeboys not. So when
I go see Manny, you know what I mean, they going,
You know what I mean, When I get cars, they
get calls, you know what I mean, like and it's
(40:10):
just like when you tell them no, the way they
you know they act. You know, somebody's saying it, say, yo, man,
what's up with your man? They are you know, what's
up with a man?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Dangn You know what I mean? Like after reading your book,
nobody's your question you're loyal? You'll ever say not the
way you took care of me.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I'm telling you what you've seen.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
But do you regret that? Because I mean, Virginia, that's
you everywhere.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
That's where I say the pendingum is swinging. That's what
That's why I say or feel that my maturation is
on a higher level now because back then when something
uh traumatic will happen to me like that, and I
see how they act for me telling them, no, I
feel myself not giving the damn anymore. Like you know
(40:56):
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Even in the book, there's nobody felt like that was
around you that didn't help you in some way, shape
or for him. So you was repaying them, like you
talk about how when you was in jail, they was
taking care of your mom and they were the ones
that would tell you, you know, you know, you're not
gonna be hustling, You're gonna be playing ball. So it
wasn't like you just had a bunch of leeches around.
There was people that looked out for you, so you
look back out for them.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
You know what, if I look out for one of
my homeboys, my homegirls, I don't expect you to give
it back, you know what I mean. I ain't never
asked for nothing back, you know what I mean. I
just feel like me being ahead of a snake. The
perfect example is like me being on twenty one team
went to the finals. I'm the killer. Everybody know that
(41:39):
this is the guy gonna put the ball in the basket.
This is what he do. Now what we do is
compliment him. We do everything else all his deficiencies and
things that he can't do on the defensive end that
you know of the court. You know he's leading the
league and stills, yeah after year, but you got to
gamble and when he gambled, the Ken Bay is there
(42:00):
to make sure I'm good, Leo is there block shots,
make sure I'm good. They could do all of the
things that I couldn't do it and that's what that's
what made Voltron, you know what I mean. You put
all those things together, and that mean I was. It
was me and a bunch of dogs, you know, what
I mean. And it's the same thing with my friendship. Yeah,
he's the guy people look at him another way. So
I have a role, you know, I have to do this.
(42:21):
This is my part. This is what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Another thing too, and maybe this could be part of
what you're feeling right now. It seemed like the whole
team had a dream. It wasn't sposed. It wasn't You're
supposed to get on in basketball. You're supposed to get
on in basketball. And everybody was supposed to make it
a rap. So everybody was supposed to be doing their
own thing.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
I didn't have the I didn't have the Lebron James
crue Ma Rich, I didn't have that blueprint, you know
what I mean. I'm like, look, we're gonna get in
when we fit in, you know what I mean. Like
I had one of my homeboys tell me, like, I'm
going to work every day, working every day. Mass's supposed
to be a superstar by now, you know what I mean,
I'm going to work. I'm like, like, I've had incidents
(42:58):
like you know, I'm I'm getting ready to go on road.
And it was a casino. I go to the bank,
I get fifty thousand. They got thirty thousand and large
and twenty thousand, and you know, twenties and I'm getting
on the plane, my man, come, I give him the
twenty thousand. He looked at it like it was something
wrong with it because it was all twenties, you know
(43:20):
what I mean, Like, Yo, did this? You know? Really?
Just did that? Really just happened, you know what I mean.
And it's like you can you're thinking you're doing what's right,
but you only you're not holding people accountable. You being
a crutch for him. It's like putting a band aid
on something, you know what I mean. You're not stitching
it up, you know what I mean, not stapling it up,
(43:41):
you know what I mean. And they always feel like that,
you know what I mean. But like the hurtful part
is the response of actually saying no. Aaron Aaron McKey
told me, he said, Chuck, just you know what I mean,
when you when you cutting your grass, you know what
I mean, and you getting them snakes out of it,
let him ask you for something and tell him no,
(44:02):
you know what I mean. And I think I'm doing
a great job of cutting it, but you still got
a little small you know, the snakes might be gone,
but some worms in there, some small you know.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Right now it's Charles Barkley and a whole bunch of
people saying we was trying to tell him this thirty like.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
It's just like the basketball aspect of everything. I ain't
never think that I will retire there early, you know
what I mean? Man, I ain't never had no back
up playing Like growing up, once my mom told me
I could be anything I wanted to be. I wanted
to be a NBA basketball player, and that was it.
It was no it was no b C. D. It
was just that that one dream. You know. Coach Thompson
(44:44):
used to always tell me, you always listening to everybody else.
You're always listening to somebody that's never been to you know,
from A to Z telling you how to get there,
you know what I mean. And that's what I was.
I had everybody that wasn't me and never had experience
telling me how to do it.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
I want to ask you about the title of the book, man,
do you think you were misunderstood that the title of
the book or did people outside of your circle just
not take the.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Time to understand you.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
You're a smart dude. Sometimes a lot. This is one
of my favorite shows. So I you know, I see
the good.
Speaker 14 (45:20):
Days, a bad day.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Gonna come.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
I'm gonna come up. I watched Dame come up here.
It's for real, it gets real. I think they can
answer it better. My perspective is they were learning on
the fly to It's like, you know, with my documentary
that's coming out, it was like three hours long. I
(45:45):
think I cried like two and a half hours of
I had to keep walking out of the theater because
you think, you know, when it comes to people that
love you, you think you know how they feel about
you know, turbulent times, you know what I mean, And
you think you know how your girl feel. You think
you know your mom feel, your uncles, your aunts, your homeboys,
your homegirls. But then when they actually tell you from
(46:06):
their point of view, how they felt, you know, and
how they looked at things, and how I didn't see
how I was, you know, how they had to try
to address me with certain things like you know, you
driving the car, we riding shotgun. And it's hard to
tell somebody, you know that's trying to live their life
what they should do and what they shouldn't do, you know,
(46:29):
what I mean, Like I'm twenty one years old, you
know what I mean, when I got into the league
at that age, Like you couldn't you couldn't tell me nothing,
you know what I'm saying, Like I'm here, you know
what I mean. Like the dress code, I'm like, I
dressed like the dudes, the drug dealers from my neighborhood.
Like you know, I'm dressing like this because you know
(46:52):
this is what the old he is from my neighbor
but this is how they dressed. You know what I mean.
I just couldn't afford it. You know what I mean?
My corn rolls. I got corns because I was tired
of barber's messing my hair. I was like, damn if
I just roll my hair, you know, I ain't got
to deal with that. You know. Tattoos just got addictive.
I got one. I couldn't afford him. I would have
been got a lot of My daddy was a hustler,
(47:13):
you know what I mean. He was in the streets,
my mom in the streets.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Like I didn't have no sit you down and give
you structure.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
This is how it wasn't. No coach Thompson then, you
know what I mean, wasn't those people. They weren't in
my life yet. So all of all of that was
where he was he was, but it was it was
he was there when I got to the NBA, being
his phone calls. You know you we never talked about basketball.
You all right, Damn I I I'm just checking over.
(47:42):
I'll swamp good out of kids, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (47:45):
And that was it.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
He was allowing me and thinking he was preparing me
at Georgetown for what was the inevitable me going to
the league. But you can't prepare for that brow.
Speaker 20 (47:57):
How was that pressure though? Because the nicest player, right?
But you changed culture. But when you changed the culture,
the NBA pushed back against it.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
But you never broke. You never folded, even though they
could have said.
Speaker 20 (48:09):
They could have been AI said now we don't want
you in our lean, but you never folded. You never
backed down, and you kept it that way, which hurt
you at times.
Speaker 3 (48:16):
Why was that they profited off of too? You know
what I mean? I would be on. One of the
things that hurt me is I was on a magazine.
They wanted me on a magazine because of my talent
and who I was, but they air brushed my tattoos off.
You want me, but you you know you want some
of me. I took the ass whood before it. But
the dress code thing, like I actually was just you
(48:39):
know what I mean, I was twenty one. Where am
I going after the game? Going to the club, you
know what I mean? Like before that, they were used
to dudes wearing soups, and you know what I mean,
I was like, damn, like I've never worn a soup
growing up. I'm going to church or to a fumeal.
The only time I put in the courtroom in the court,
(49:00):
I definitely in the court room. So I never wore
a soup to the to the gym, to play, to
the to the park sweatsuit, you know what I mean,
or whatever. You know what I'm saying. So I ain't
think I ain't think nothing of it. David Stern and rested.
The NBA was like, ah, because it was all right
when I was doing it, but then everybody else said, okay,
(49:23):
like he can do that, we can do this. So
then everybody, you know, you see Kobe coming in with
the diamond chains on and the baggy clothes, and you know,
everybody started doing it. Then the league was like hold on,
we gotta do something about that. So it wasn't it
wasn't anything delicious like and that and that. That whole
situation showed me a lot and it proved a lot
to me at a young age about stereotyping people, because
(49:46):
you know, when you seen John Gotti, John Gotty kept
on the two thousand dollars suit, But what was he?
He get busy, you know what I mean. So it
ain't about you know, what you got on on the outside,
who you are, And.
Speaker 20 (49:57):
They said that bother you the most where they labeled
you a thumb. Yeah, I'll be cool with a street dude,
Cool with that because that's what I am.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
I mean, that's where I come from. That's all I've
ever been around my life. That's where I grew up around.
But a thug like nah, that's a that's a stretch.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
I was wondering, would you change things? And the reason
I asked that because even in the book, you understood
you had to wear a suit the court, but you
didn't want to do it for press conferences.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
In the NBA, I was bad advice, like I was,
you know, I was told to take a go to
trial and go off whatever the judge say opposed to
having a jury that was bad, you know what I mean.
Some of that I was getting advice from people that
never had been through it, you know what I mean.
I was told that if I wore a suit then
(50:47):
they would be leaning.
Speaker 7 (50:49):
I was.
Speaker 3 (50:50):
I was extremely wrong.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
So you wish you to just water. I remember, I
remember that same suit.
Speaker 3 (51:01):
I was in a sale. It was one hundred degrees
with no fans in there, and the older sale. I
was in an old man seal with fifteen people, you
know what I mean, and that suit. When they came
got me, I was in the corner with my boxes on,
you know what I mean, soaking wet, and the suit
was balled up in the corner. When they came and
got me out of there, I had on my box.
Speaker 14 (51:21):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Do you regret anything?
Speaker 3 (51:25):
Nah, because I wouldn't be you who I am now.
I wouldn't change anything, man, in my life, all of
these experience, even.
Speaker 14 (51:32):
With the book.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Man, it's like I love like my girl always talked
to me about why do you let like what I
started talking about in the beginning, why do you let
that type.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
Of bother you? And I'm like practice press company.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
No, just with my friends, how people, you know what
I mean. It's like why and I don't know, you
know what I mean? Like I love the people that
I love and it hurt when they show you who
they really are because I'm thinking you somebody else, you
know what I mean? And she like, you know, why
do you stress out over stuff like that? And one
of you different. You have a talent and you you're
(52:07):
blessed to be able to brush that stuff off. It's
hard for me now. My talent obviously is you know,
legendary with who. But I think another blessed blessing that
I have is to be an open book, to be someone.
I'm embarrassed by practice rant I'm embarrassed about uh, not
(52:28):
really embarrassed. But it wasn't smart for me to, you know,
because I remember, you know, people telling me Ai, you
cannot take care of everybody, and I used to let
him go on one air and write out the other like, yo,
you know what I mean. I'm gonna be the exception
to the rule. I'm gonna take care of the people
that I love. Like that's just me, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (52:48):
And I think that's why I hurt you so bad
because your heart, isn't it You love these people? You know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're superman, but you still have a heart, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (52:57):
And you like, but this is but this is my
this is my gift, Like this is my gift to
this book, this this documentary. My experience is the turbulent,
the ups and downs. Like, uh, if one kid or
one adult whatever read this book and they can take
something from it. I have people come to me all
the time be like, yo, man, you inspired my life. Man,
(53:18):
I would have died if it was for you, I
would have went to jail for the rest of my life.
You know what I mean, Like you changed my life,
and that that motivate me, you know what I mean,
Like I'm to give more, like to even when you embarrass,
you uncomfortable, you know, talk about it. Somebody might not
have to go through it. Somebody might. You might save
somebody's life, you know what I mean. Like, talk about it. Man,
(53:39):
you was on top of the world. You had all
the money, you know what I mean, all you had
to do. It's easy for to tell Chuck what to
do with his easy for somebody to say what I
would have did man, if that was him, I would
have did.
Speaker 14 (53:51):
You ain't me.
Speaker 3 (53:52):
You know what I mean. You don't know how. I'm
sorry you not me. You know what I mean. I
make mistakes. I'm human just like you.
Speaker 20 (54:00):
I've seen an interview you gave up drinking six months
ago to that point where you said this is enough.
Speaker 3 (54:05):
It was it was I'll be lying if I would
say it just just stopped it. Brother, You know what
I mean. It was. It was situations.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (54:14):
I you know where's you know what I mean? Like
I know I put it here. You know what I mean.
It's the same thing having certain guys around you. Everybody
when when when they your people, your people know when
you're drunk, you know, just chill man him up, two
more glasses, dumb man. He yo, Man right now, Man,
(54:35):
God damn, I need you you know what I'm saying. Man,
with this going on, that going on, man, I need
you where telling me to get this in because when
I let me just talk about when I get nice, man,
we'll get you. I wanted to sleep glass line twenty
five thousand on me, you know, but I got twelve
(54:58):
hundred what my sniggers, My man you gave such and
such your your little sniggers, you gave your sister your uh,
your uh, your your fur coat. You can't you know
what I mean? Like I mean, that's just that's just
(55:19):
small bad to the the real you know what I mean.
Not feeling well, you know what I mean. I mean,
I did all this and I was having fun last night.
To wake up feeling like this, you know what I mean.
Then my responsibilities you you you know what I mean.
You're missing flights and you know what I mean, I mean,
just a it's a pluthor r of things.
Speaker 1 (55:39):
Man.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
You just drinking, you know what I'm saying. Like I
saw the evaluate and like what good does it do
for me? You understand?
Speaker 5 (55:48):
Like you?
Speaker 3 (55:49):
I mean, you can you can have fun with your
own boys, your homegirls, you know what I mean, without that.
And I talked to God about it. I asked them
to to help me be strong. I ain't going no
a and nothing like that. Like I I was like, Okay,
I'm not I'm not doing it, And that's what it wasn't.
The crazy thing about it is I've been with her
(56:09):
for fifteen, for thirty five years and since I was fifteen,
and this crazy part about it is she said when
I told her I was stopping that after that, she
prayed on it, and she said that was the only
time that she ever prayed on it, Like I said
it plenty times in the past, and she said that
(56:29):
was the only time that she prayed on it.
Speaker 1 (56:31):
And I was authentic with it as a husband.
Speaker 3 (56:35):
What have you discovered now, boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Your boyfriend? I mean, we got the boy, so you
married the boy. Then y'all got right back together like
six months later.
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Something I mean, I want to do. I want this
point to be made because you think I'm who I am,
and I was out of control. I was out of control,
and this threat was there for years, for years and
years and years and years and years. And it's like
(57:07):
the boy cried wolf, like whatever, I heard that before,
you know what I mean. And then it was like
she got to the point where like, yo, I gotta
show this. I gotta do something to show him I'm serious.
And that's what happened. You in that courtroom. You're looking
over there and you see number one right there, and
(57:28):
you're looking down at that paper and them tears hitting
that paper and they don't say, you know, I've been
Georgetown versus Georgetown and it's been a scrimmage or sixes
versus sixers and you're looking at the stat sheet whatever
I'm looking at Iverston versus Iverson. You know what I mean?
And like, yo, it's real, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (57:49):
Like, did you as suit? Look, I really was defiant then,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (57:55):
Like you got me in here, you know what I mean?
And I had a judge, was vicious, like I couldn't
do nothing right.
Speaker 9 (58:03):
Even in that moment, you were defined And I guess
upset even though you knew, because you said you knew
you were out of control. But so like in that moment,
why are you defining upset if she's just doing what
she thinks is gonna help, I guess, to get you
to a better spot for her.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
I was selfishly thinking about my Demid because I know
in my heart and in my mind that I can't
live with her. You know what I'm saying, Like I
know it, like I know it. I took I took
her love for me for granted, you know what I mean,
Like as far as she loving me so much that
(58:38):
I felt like you know that she would never she
would never go nowhere like this is all I've known.
This is the only love that I've ever known as
far as like, I've never loved someone like this in
my life, you know what I mean? Then a lot
of times, you know, all women would say, or even guys,
you know, anybody that's you know, logical about anything, how
(59:01):
you love her so much and you do the things?
And I don't have answer.
Speaker 1 (59:06):
We never do though, as men, we never do. We
don't know why we do the we do.
Speaker 9 (59:11):
So how has not drinking and you know, it seems
like you're you know, your focus is different in this
time of your life. How has that made you guys
rediscover each other in a relationship?
Speaker 3 (59:19):
Oh yeah, I'm I'm Claire Huxtable. I'm in Cliff. I'm
Cliff Huxtable. Now like I'm I'm I kind of get
a feeling like I'm the guy like I felt always
felt like, you know, I was the guy she always
wanted you know what I mean, wanted to be, you know,
wanted me to be. But I really feel like that
(59:40):
guy now, Like I feel like it's not the Huxtables
around there obviously, but like she love you know this me,
you know, because you always getting this me it's hard
to take advantage of somebody that can see clear as hell,
you know what I mean, opposed to being nonchalant about everything.
(01:00:00):
You know what I mean, likes you know my homeboys
says a different chuck. Now you know what I mean.
I see, I see what's going on.
Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
All the stuff that I used to, you know, not
pay attention to, I'm paying attention to it now, you
know what I mean. And I just think you know,
by me making this decision, it's so much better for
not just myself, everybody around men. I can help better.
My advice is better, you know what I mean. Like,
I'm a better friend now, I'm a better family member.
Speaker 14 (01:00:32):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
You know what I'm saying. Like, I promise you I'm
the smartest man in the world because I know him.
Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Not saying you got to I do. Got one last question.
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Man, you changed the entire culture of basketball, but to me,
you change black culture. You also change hip hop culture,
from your fashion to your attitude to just your authenticity.
Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
When you see how the NBA in the.
Speaker 2 (01:00:57):

This is a gift that y'all do to get up
and and to talk and all of that. I love
to speak because when I speak, it's I have this
this structure that I follow and then I'm going these
different places. But the podcast has really grown me to
(01:18:43):
hear other people's stories. So it's like therapy and real time.
And from having my sister to Roger on Kirk, Franklin,
Rico Love, and then I have some people who are
just everyday people that are sharing their healing journeys and
just sharing where they are. So it's been a fun journey.
Speaker 11 (01:19:01):
Man.
Speaker 14 (01:19:01):
So now I can officially say yes, I'm a podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Hello.
Speaker 9 (01:19:07):
You guys have like a really cool dynamic because I mean,
you're pastor you do mental health and like all these things. Right,
But y'all know in our community, a lot of times
when you're going through some people like just pray about it.
How do y'all have conversations around that.
Speaker 6 (01:19:19):
It's more than prayer. I think prayer is very essential,
but it's the backbone. It's a substratum of everything. But
there has to be practical application because you're human, so
that is the spiritual component. But if you don't have friendship,
you don't have people that can help walk you through
the journey. Then you'll often become lost, and I like
to say people become mystic. They just stay in this
(01:19:42):
spooky vial. And again that's not to talk about the
church background, because I have a strong church background, but
having therapists, having people that can actually supply sufficient support,
really can help change the dynamic of what you're going through.
I think that's very important.
Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
And Joe used to be associated pastor at the Potterhouse, right, yes, sir,
but did you love to go to Florida?
Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
I didn't know that could happen. They made it sound
like you was transferring schools or something, you were playing
one place. I didn't know that could happen.
Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
I mean, I just the way they do I guess,
I guess the part of hoouse. So the way you know,
the way they worded it, I'm like, okay.
Speaker 6 (01:20:20):
Yeah, I went there to learn from who I believed
to be the greatest of all times. I think Mishop
Jakes is the greatest of all times. And I went
there to learn, and there was an opportunity that opened
up in Florida, and so that's how I ended up there.
I ended up there because he trained me. I was prepared,
and we ended up in Florida and God's been good
to mississ have been there.
Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
How did that work?
Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Though?
Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Like when you like, like what does the spirit tell you?
Like I want to be I need you to go,
you know, lead this congregation, that lead this flock.
Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
Now, like what is it? What hits you?
Speaker 6 (01:20:51):
When I was in Oklahoma originally, and when I was there,
I knew that I wasn't going to be there forever,
and so the opportunity for change didn't start at the
Potter's house. I was coaching at Oklahoma State University and
pastoring at the same time, and so the opportunity to
shift came at a good season. Church was doing fine,
(01:21:14):
my work was doing great, and I went to preach
for Bishop Jakes. So I had to sit back and realize, Okay,
the things that I want to see happened in the
future career wise and ministry wise, came through an opportunity
of another individual. There wasn't a voice from heaven a
chap that came down and said move.
Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
It wasn't that.
Speaker 6 (01:21:32):
It was a man of God looked at me and said,
what's your future? What do you want to be? What
do you see happening? Where do you want to go?
And when I told him that, then it unlocked something
for me to start looking at. And when I started
looking at it, I started saying all the insufficiencies, all
the places that needed work, all the places that needed
a model or mentor, and he felled that void. And
(01:21:53):
then from there it was a challenge, what do you want?
And I had to answer that question and that answer
was move.
Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
Wow.
Speaker 22 (01:22:00):
That's where all met, right, yeah, yeah, we met in Dallas.
A friend of mine had sent me a video and like, yo,
I just found your spirit animal. I was like, all right,
So I started watching his clips. He in the gym
killing it, and you know, he's a strength and conditioning coach,
so we got the whole football background from watching how
he speaks. I said, Yo, I really rock with this dude.
(01:22:21):
So I'm pause. I slid his DMS, but but I
hit him up and like, yo, brother, I love what
you're doing.
Speaker 8 (01:22:31):
Man.
Speaker 22 (01:22:32):
And we we had some exchange, but didn't know that
we both moved to Dallas during the pandemic at the
same time, and slowly, you know, started kind of engaging.
But I'd engage him to come on my tour to Jessea.
Bro I had four voices and I was like, you know,
we need a five and I could reached out to him.
I said, bro, I want you to go on tour.
(01:22:53):
Now here's the story about the development of our friendship.
This brother was not having it, Jess. And the more
I would text him is like, hey man, you know brother,
you know look forward to having your on tour. He
would come on the tour, he would get on stage,
do his thing and would just sit in the back
and wouldn't say anything. And I felt, you know, that
(01:23:15):
he needed friendship, but I also felt compelled, like I
just couldn't let it go. And I would text him
and check in on him, like, hey man, I hope
you all as well, brother, Just checking in and he
would just text back the army, mooji, the muscles because
he was not And I understood as we begin, because
it's difficult men, and study shows this. Men have a
(01:23:40):
difficult time making friends after thirty five. And this is
the real reason why a lot of men are suffering
in silence and suffering in their mental health because of
the lack of community and the lack of friendships there.
Speaker 14 (01:23:52):
They're not like women.
Speaker 22 (01:23:54):
They don't engage and most men don't build friendships beyond
their workplace. And our friendship started from a challenge of
who can lose the most weight and get down to
you know, get down to the lowest body fat. And
that built the friendship that people see that we have
today and the love that I have for this brother.
And I saw it in him, Like I said, Bro,
(01:24:16):
You're wanted the best to me. And I think when
you are building friendship, you want to have friendships where
somebody can see more in you than you see in
yourself in that current space.
Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
While are you so god it doctor Tumman? Yeah, please.
Speaker 14 (01:24:32):
Tell the world.
Speaker 22 (01:24:33):
How tell the world how he would leave me on
red And it didn't bother me because and I want
to add this, when you have dealt with your rejection
or abandonment issues, how a person response doesn't trigger you
because I didn't know what his experience was, but I
knew I wanted to keep showing up for him.
Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
Friendship is important to me, It's very essential. And I'm
too old to start over in certain places. I had
fresh room, fresh wounds, as it pertains to mail. The
male friendships, brothers, real strong relationships, and I had just
gotten to the point to where I was okay without
the relationship. And so when this good brother reached out
(01:25:15):
to me, he was very persistent. I didn't understand him.
I didn't understand this process, his makeup. He's a therapist,
so his mental is really really strong, mind strong, but
it's more defensive versus, you know, just being vulnerable. So
I had a difficult time trying to be vulnerable. And
so he kept pressing and kept pressing and kept pressing.
(01:25:36):
I wasn't really interested in that. I was okay. I wasn't.
I wasn't I was okay with working out. As we
continued to train, we started having therapeutic conversations about what's
going on in your mind? Why are you having a
hard time dealing with abandonment, rejection, what actually happened? And
then as far as my career speaking, he said, hey, man,
(01:25:57):
I want you to come on a tour with me.
I went on the tour, but I still wasn't going
to get close to all the rest of the guys.
I had broken through with him just a little bit.
So we go on the tour, we do our thing,
and I sit in the back, not talking because I
don't want to be involved emotionally again. That way however,
we broke through. He's become a best friend. Over five years.
(01:26:19):
Now I have a much softer side. I was too
hard and I think God did an amazing thing by
bringing him.
Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
Into my life.
Speaker 9 (01:26:27):
Recently, everything that happened with you in a faith city.
So you were there, and then they sent out a
letter that you will no longer be senior pastor. That
was very public, especially cause you know the church. They
want to know what happened. No one knows why that happened.
So two questions, I don't know if you can share
what actually happened, and then second question, you spoke about it.
Speaker 1 (01:26:47):
How was processing that publicly?
Speaker 6 (01:26:49):
What happened, We disagreed, were disagreed in mission, and the
disagreement didn't allow us to go forward, so that relationship
was severed. Processing it has been difficult because it's public and.
Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
It hurts.
Speaker 6 (01:27:07):
I love those people, I love him. Trying to move
forward is something you have to do to live. I
don't care what the career is, and if you stay
in a fracture, you're going to break, You're going to crumble.
So trying to move forward with a cast when everyone
is already determined, pre determine what you've done and.
Speaker 14 (01:27:29):
Have absolutely no idea and no information, no information. It's difficult.
Speaker 6 (01:27:35):
So trying to talk to your children, pick your children
up and move anywhere, no matter what the career is,
to get them to trust you as a father. Hey,
I made the right decision to pick us up and
move us across the world and then have to turn
to figure out how we're going to make it. The
pressure of this was what it was. Now I got
(01:27:57):
to figure out how to make it what it is is.
It's difficult as a husband as a provider. Now do
I trust in God one hundred percent? I trust in
all the skills that God has given me, and He
has opened up doors that are just unbelievable for me.
So process processing it has been I'm not gonna say difficult,
(01:28:20):
but it's been uneasy. But through it all, I still
thank God. That's not that's not a church answer. That's
my faith because I know all things work together for
the good.
Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
I wish you was here this weekend because you know,
we got the mental health expo.
Speaker 14 (01:28:35):
We got call.
Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
Yeah. My good sister Debbie Brown came up with this.
Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
He wanted to do this panel called a Reclaiming Faith
Healing from religious trauma and pastor call Linton, doctor Teddy Reeves.
Speaker 1 (01:28:46):
Are on it, and I think it was crad I
was up here talking about churches. It was La cree Right.
Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
It's just like, man, what do you do when when
when your trauma comes from your ainks youre when that
hurt comes from that place, you go for salvation?
Speaker 6 (01:29:00):
Man.
Speaker 22 (01:29:01):
I think one of the things that my father's passed
some thirty five years walking alongside you know him. You
know when you look at church, it's a hospital, yeah,
and it's a hospital that has a lot of sick
people who don't take their meds. And when you have
people who don't take their meds, you have people who
don't understand how their behaviors, don't understand how their reaction impacts.
Speaker 14 (01:29:27):
Those that are in the hospital as well.
Speaker 22 (01:29:29):
So it's almost like you in one room and you're
trying to get some rest because the doctor said you
need to rest, and you have somebody down here that
is having a breakdown because they just heard the diagnosis
that they can't change. And I think the unfortunate thing
that has happened is that a lot of churches have
not thought about mental health in the faith conversation, and
(01:29:52):
I say, you can't talk faith, you can't talk God
and omit mental health when God may does.
Speaker 14 (01:30:00):
He made mind, body, and spirit.
Speaker 22 (01:30:02):
Mental health is your social it's your emotional and physical makeup.
It's how we do life. I call mental health life
in motion. There is nowhere around it. And I think
now you see in a turn some pastors are, you know,
bringing in mental health professionals. Some pastors are bringing in
clinicians and different things like that, because what I saw
(01:30:23):
growing up is what you speak about.
Speaker 14 (01:30:26):
I saw people that were embarrassed.
Speaker 22 (01:30:30):
Like I can see right now this young girl when
we were growing up who got pregnant and they bring
her before church, and I'm like, all right, where's the God?
So you brought the girl before church and that she's pregnant,
but where's the guy?
Speaker 14 (01:30:41):
Right? Takes two to tango, right.
Speaker 22 (01:30:43):
So now you have this young girl who grows up
with this level of shame and it's trauma because they
brought her out before and you have a lot of embarrassment.
And so I feel that churches have focused on saving
souls but not restoring mind. Wow, you have to restore
a person since mine. It's great that we're going to
get their spirits saved, and you want people to you know,
(01:31:04):
go to heaven. But I think it's important that we
begin helping people on how to not just come to
the altar and throw their hands up and be you know, delivered,
but how to walk this thing out for their complete healing,
because it's one thing especially like like let's just take
somebody who's dealt with molestation, abandonment, rejection, and it's calls
(01:31:27):
these unhealthy things. Yeah, I pray for you, lay hands
on you, put all on you. You greases like greasy
like a piece of chicken, and you know what I'm saying.
So but it's like that now this person leaves and
there's no support. And the reason church hurt hurts so
bad because people have an expectation that I would be
treated better in here than I am out there.
Speaker 14 (01:31:48):
And it's just.
Speaker 22 (01:31:50):
Unfortunate, you know that we you know, have so many people,
particularly in the black culture, and religious trauma is a
real thing. It's called RTS, religious traumatic sins. It's a
real diagnosis in the dissem and most of us are
challenged with it because we thought we would see God
in the very people who said come as you are yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:32:12):
Yeah, let's make sure that we're clear. The church is
full of trauma. It is not absent of trauma. The
very church itself was founded on trauma. Okay, Jesus being beaten,
it's traumatic. Being betrayed prior to being beaten, it's traumatic.
(01:32:34):
You die the most horrible death, crown of thorns, nails
in your hands, in your feet, pierced in the side,
bloody and naked.
Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
That's trauma. The whole thing is trauma.
Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
The twelve or the eleven that take off running to
go back to doing what they were doing prior when
they see that he's dead, they're dealing with trauma. They're like,
I'm going back fishing. Forget this, i can't do this.
Jesus comes back so much trouble with them. They don't
believe it, even though Jesus told them I'm coming back.
(01:33:07):
Change their brain. See the trauma, that's all trauma. Well,
Jesus comes back. Boom, he restores Peter. So there's the
restoration that the church should have. So he restores them.
Hey do you love me? Yeah, feeda sheep, you love me,
Feed my sheep? You love me, feed my sheep? Boom,
he restores him. He does his thing, Jesus gets ready
to leave. He say, look y'all go wait on the power.
(01:33:27):
Wait on the power. And then they come out. So
they get the power, they start evangelizing the Book of Acts.
They're doing airy thing. The church is built off of that.
So it's got an answer, and it's got all these problems.
So it's never gonna be a place that you're gonna
go and it's absent of trauma or it's absent of
the things that you guys are talking about. I think
(01:33:49):
the issue is trying to find the fine balance of
this soul and spirit body balance. When it comes to
to how we're giving that information. You got some churches
that believe that Sunday morning is pure word driven. I'm
gonna teach you, I'm gonna disciple you spiritually. Then you
(01:34:09):
have some other churches that are little bit more free
and say, hey, we're gonna do mental health stuff and
therapy and fitness training on Sunday. There are other people
that don't like that. I didn't come to church for that.
I came to church for Genesis. I ain't come to
church for that, okay. And then you have some churches
that say we're gonna put together small groups where you
can come get this mental health. Then you got other
churches that say, look, we've hired ten therapists that are here.
(01:34:34):
I think we have to go back to what I
said earlier. You got to own your thing. Something may
have happened at the church, Okay, it's no different than
it happening right here in this company. But you still
got to own your thing. If this station, a problem
happens here, but you all still offer therapy. It's stilled
up to me as an employee to go down to
(01:34:56):
HR and say, listen, I need therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:34:59):
This is a POWERM conversation to have on World Mental
Health Day.
Speaker 14 (01:35:02):
Man, yeah, man and always brother, you know I love
love you man to the moon and back.
Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
Man and always man.
Speaker 14 (01:35:07):
We've been rocking for the past six for five years.
What you've been doing that you.
Speaker 1 (01:35:12):

Expo tomorrow in Newark, New Jersey. It's to Joel and
Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center is doctor J. Bartnet,

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
The Breakfast Club, Yes, the world more Dangerous morning to
show the Breakfast Club, charlamagnea God just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (01:35:33):
DJ nvy Nby is off today, but right now it's
time for Path to Awks.
Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
Yeah, DJ comes.
Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
Cable. How are y'all black and Holly favorite what you
got for us this week?
Speaker 21 (01:35:57):
Okay, I really picked like five songs, but I'm just
going to focus on three because Brandon said that these
were the great ones. Okay, because y'all be saying that
I'll be picking the wrong parts and stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:36:06):
So I got an African song.
Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
And was just three songs. You can play more of them, Okay,
long longer, longer parts of them.
Speaker 21 (01:36:19):
Well, I picked three, and the first one that I'm
going to start with is this new Ruben Vincent and
nine Wonder song called Dray and Sydney.
Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
Let me I like this.
Speaker 18 (01:36:28):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
Here the thing I like about Ruben Vincent. Number one,
he's from the Carolinas.
Speaker 11 (01:36:32):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
Number two, he's a young man who connected with a
OG producer in Ninth Wonder, And I think when you
have the esthetic that a Ruben Vincent has, you need
a producer like a Ninth Wonder to bring the best
out of him. So this project that he drives is
solely produced by ninth Wonder.
Speaker 21 (01:36:47):
Solely produced by nine and it's crazy, like on this
record is Rohiem Devon and this artist named Sweater, but
they got Raphael on the project.
Speaker 1 (01:36:57):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (01:36:57):
Joe Scott flipped, I'm missing maddening.

Welcome Home drops October twenty four, so make sure you
guys be on the lookout for that.
Speaker 5 (01:37:41):
But I'm keep it in the Carolina's see you.

just dropped her debut album pretty big Deal.
Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
So far off first listen.
Speaker 21 (01:37:50):
I really liked this record that she got on there
with Flow Millie and it's called Lotion.
Speaker 4 (01:37:53):
I like it, I love it and I love a
fluent I know that her part, but I love fluming
everything about flu Milly.
Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
I like the energy of it because it reminds me
of the eighties all day, you know what I mean,
Like jam on jam, but I want. I just feel
like the words could have been a little clearer, like
maybe a different subject matter.
Speaker 1 (01:38:12):
It's gonna be called lotion. That's a good message because
y'all be ashy.
Speaker 14 (01:38:15):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (01:38:18):
Shape butter babies definitely.
Speaker 2 (01:38:22):
Say you two and oh no, we on live, we
live on Twitter. I love follow us at Breakfast club
and they said you two and oh okay.
Speaker 1 (01:38:29):
All right, this next one, I won't, I won't, I
won't all right.
Speaker 21 (01:38:34):
This next one is from an artist named Nico Brims
from New York. Yeah, man, Nico just dropped the new joint.
This is the second release of the year. It's called
peel Us and he's also going to be on tour
with j I d On. The God does like ugly tour,
so you guys can definitely check him out.
Speaker 1 (01:38:47):
I love that. I like Nico Brim this.
Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
I'll be tripping when people say that there's no lyricsist nowadays.
These little be spitting You got to know who to
listen to. In a way is more discovery, right. I
don't know what you would call that, but it's like
you're discovering these people. I just don't know where you're
discovering them, because I mean, you know, we got all
the same outlets. I don't know if it's radio, I
don't know if it's streaming, you know what I mean,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:39:09):
Know where do you be finding these in the pocket artists.
I feel like I don't help as much as it
used to.
Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
But that's what now it tapped into. I think you're
gonna find what you're looking for. If you're looking for
the lyricsts, you'll find them because they there.
Speaker 21 (01:39:22):
Yeah, she's always putting me on find them through features
like oh okay, if I like Jid, then Jid does
at regular Marco, and then I hear Marco he doesn't regular,
Like I end up finding him like that somebody you
go explore their music like photo shoots, like through their aesthetic.
Speaker 9 (01:39:38):
So like somebody like ling, you know the artist thing.
I didn't know she was a artist. I was like
the way she looked, and then I.
Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
Heard her music. I know you put me on the link.
I think play up here.
Speaker 9 (01:39:46):
Yeah to you as well. I didn't know she was
a artist. I was like she fired like I like her,
I'll put you on her.
Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
I will encourage all you artists that can spit though,
to get with the o G producers, get with the
knife one, just get with the havocs. If you can't
get with this static select is, get with people who
got that sound and can bring the best out of
your lyricism.
Speaker 21 (01:40:04):
I would definitely like to say watching Ninth produce this
project with Rubin definitely change my perspective on music, like
or just producing an album period, because I didn't really realize.
Speaker 1 (01:40:14):
All that goes.
Speaker 21 (01:40:15):
It's not just to beat in the rap like you
gotta really tie it all the way in together.
Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
Get with the Pete Rocks, Get with them guys that
really know how to bring the best out.
Speaker 21 (01:40:22):
Of lyrics, and you know, give it a Nilis Moone
because she's trying to be like them too. So you
trust me in my vision, you know, I would appreciate that.
