sports stories this morning, and only bad news is that

monkey pox alert is a level two what I mean
the CDC, I don't even they haven't even told about
monkey poxes what is it? Um way, all the symptoms
that are relatively flu like, but then they're swelling of
your lymph nose, you get a rash. I saw that
body and face, and then painful lesions and severe scarring
after that. So they want you to wear a mask

(01:29):
now when traveling. So I had to wear a mask
with monkey pox too. I mean they recommend it. He
said you were going to wear a mask anyway from
that one. Yeah, I had to put a mask on
yesterday when I went into the doctor's office. I went
for a physical and I hadn't put a mask on
it so long I was choking, you know when I choking.
Certain places they still like if you go to get

(01:50):
your nails done, they always still make you wear a
mask in the nail salon. Certain places you still have to.
It's a private thing, I guess any private business owner
they can tell you what their rules and regulations. As
it's too hot for a mask, is it when it's
summertime eighty degrees ninety degrees? I think outdoors, not necessarily,
but inside that's when people can say okay, you gotta wear.

(02:11):
And a lot of people sweat around the mouth. A
lot of people, men and women sweating around the way
they must that I should be. You don't notice there, Yeah, yeah,
I've seen that happen before, and I have My tea
zone gets very oily, So that's not easy. What does
the tea zone? You don't have the tea zone, monkey
pots tea zones. The tea zone is a part of
your face. It's like the letter T where gets really oily.

(02:33):
So they call that the tea zone. It's like your
forehead across that's like the top of the tea down
the middle. When it's ash Wednesday, they put the cross there.
You know. Sometimes people rub that for their third eye.
But all the way down like down passion nose, all
the way down to your chin. That's consider your tea zone.
Oh yeah, I get oily there too. I get it
oily around in this part. What's this? That's your cheeks

(02:55):
and your nose zone. You're like a baby cheeks. But
the good news is I had a great physical yesterday,
dropping on a clues box for my physical weight on
my blood work to come back. All right, all's claire An,
I'm going to that blood work comes back white. To
be scared of that back in the day when I
got hit holding in your streets. Now, I don't worry
about stuff like that. I am clean, but it is

(03:17):
important to get that done. You get to know your
levels of your cholesterol. Everything that's right. My heart rate
is nice and slow because I work out a lot.
So life is good. All right, All right, now let's
start the show. What we gotten front page news. Well,
some changes to the iPhone and some tweaks, so we'll
tell you some things that you can expect. Oh and
we got a couple of guests today too. You know,

(03:38):
I love both of these guests because they definitely bring
value to my life. Beatrice Dixon. Yes, In d is
the founder of the honey Pot. Yes, that's all. My
wife and daughter used honey pot products. Yeah, and there
was some controversy and some things then went virals. She'll
still address all of that. And the host of the
Pivot podcast, my man Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder, and Ryan

(04:01):
Clark will be here this morning. One of my favorite
podcasts that's out right now. Some people were mad at
something Ryan Clark said yesterday. Man, we didn't get to
ask man, I wish you to talked about that because
we recorded that before he sent that tweet out about
Chris Brown being better than Michael Jackson. Might come on, stop,
all right, we'll discuss though. It's the Breakfast Club man.
They don't want to see a little baby with the
Bobby and the boy. Yes, Sin's to walladmost dangerous morning

(04:24):
to show to Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God Angela Ye,
dj Envia is off the day. It is time for
front page news. But we got you all right, Well, uh,
the Finals Game three is going to be third way tomorrow, Yeah, tomorrow,
Tomorrow's wait, why does you say Thursday? I don't know,
but it's tomorrow tomorrow, all along, all right. And Rashie
Wallace is joining the Lakers as assistant coach. I like that.

(04:48):
I like that only because I like to see uh,
you know, former players, you know, become coaches and things
like that. So, and Rashie Wallace is a monster dropping
a clue bump Formshi Wallace, all right. And the Denver
Broncos are going I have a new owner for the
first time since nineteen eighty four black. According to Forbes,
Rob Walton is likely going to purchase the team. Sound
like Walmart yep, Walmart Air. And they said the bid

(05:11):
it's expected to come in at a roughly four point
five billion dollars. They said the winning bid has not
yet been finalized, but they expect to announce it as
early as this month. That's the highest price ever for
an American sports team. That good old Boys Club ain't
letting no black people in. I know, Barron Island had
a Barron Island was putting a bid in. Robert Smith

(05:31):
put a bid in. They're both black. Clearly they don't
want no black owners. Well, previously, the record for the
most expensive sports team was the Nets. They sold for
two point three five billion in August of twenty nineteen,
and this is like double that price almost. So Walton
will be the richest owner in the NFL. He has
a net worth of fifty nine point six billion dollars.

(05:53):
He's one of the twenty richest people in the world.
That's what he wanted the Walmart people, right, yeah, Walmart Air.
All right, Now, let's talk about Apple. They have some
upcoming changes to iPhone software. Their next operating system is
iOS sixteen, and so some of the things that you
can expect now what I'm gonna tell you what people
are most excited about. But they'll revamp the look of

(06:13):
the device's lock screen. They're gonna be some minor improvements
to the current software. One of the most noticeable differences
is on the lock screen. You'll be able to have
your widgets on the lock screen display, so you can
have your favorite apps to small widgets on the lock
screen and you know, like the little apps. Oh okay,

(06:33):
all right. And the new software will also let the
lock screen display live notifications, like if you're calling an uber,
you don't have to unlock your phone to see the
status of where the uber is. You can have that
on the lock screen. They'll also be revamping texts, So
now if you send a text and you want to
edit it after you send it, or take it away

(06:53):
and resend it completely, if you have a change of heart,
you can do that. That only works if the person
didn't read the text. Still, how do how do we
know was the person already ready to text you? Since
what if they're asleep you know what I'm saying, and
you said something and then you're like, oh, I was
drunk last night, let me take it back before they
wake up. And say, ye, that definitely works. Now both
people have to have the Apple Messaging app in order

(07:14):
for that to work, So you can now do that.
Apple Pay Also some services, they're adding a new financing feature,
and so that option will allow people to stagger the
cost of any purchase made through Apple Pay over four installments.
You just have to pay those four installments within a
six week period and there'll be no additional fees if
you do it like that. All right. So those are

(07:34):
just some of the things. I'm sitting there listening to
you talk. I'm like, I don't know nothing about my phone.
I don't even the hell Apple messaging app here? What
the hell is the Apple Messaging app? If you have
it and I have it and we're messaging, you know how,
sometimes the messages are green or they're blue. Oh I
just thought they were green when somebody changed their number
of the phone was off. No, green is normally not
through eye message. That's what that means. And so that
that could mean to have an Android, or that could

(07:56):
mean they're not going through through eye message. Oh, you
really don't know any what the hell is happening? All right?
And the world's biggest four day work week pilot has begun.
This is in the UK. What's that mean for a
day work week? What you think it means? Oh so
we only got to work for day not us in
the UK. Monday, do what Thursday? Yeah? So, um it's

(08:19):
gonna start. Well, thousands of people are gonna start their
work week on Monday and be done on Thursday. I'm
all for that. I actually would want Monday off though.
Give me Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. What difference doesn't make?
I don't know if this is something about being able
to sleep in on Mondays man like Sunday. Sunday feels
like a half a day when you got to get
up to go to work or school in the morning.

(08:40):
Sundays are rough, well, they said until now. Iceland had
the biggest pilot of a shorter working week between twenty
fifteen and twenty nineteen, and those trials found that there
was no drop in productivity among participants and there was
a dramatic increase and employee well being. I agree, there's
really no need for us to have a five day
work week, all five day school week. Why maybe school?
It's not work? All right? Well, that is your front

(09:02):
page news, all right? Get it off your chests. One
hundred and five and five one or five one. You
can call in right now, tell us why you're blessed.

and the shooting death of has turned himself in. Will
give you some more information on that good it's the
world most named morning show to Breakfast Club. The Breakfast

(18:08):
Club This is the rule of report with angela Ye Well,
thirty three year old Jamichael Jones of Atlanta has surrendered
and turned himself in for killing Trouble. And they said

(18:28):
his mother was instrumental into bringing him into custody. So
earlier on Monday, deputies visited places familiar with Ja Michael Jones.
They knocked on doors, asked after his whereabouts, and one
of those locations was his mother's house. And they said
that Jones spoke to his mother by phone and shared
his wish to surrender. He was then met by deputies
in the parking lot of a Clayton County hospital and arrested.

(18:51):
And so he is now in custody and that all
of that he made a permanent decision based off of
temperary feeling, because that permanent decision is gonna be life
in jail, right, And they said that he already had
other infractions on his record. He apparently has several arrest
warrants out and felony murder, aggravated assault, home invasion charges.

(19:14):
He's done, and you know, now Trouble is deceased, God
blessed dead, and that young lady is gonna be out
Here's still living her life. You know, imagine all the
trauma she gotta deal with, you know, after witnessing something
like that, Like this guy is this is silly. You
can be thinking about this for the rest of his life,
and you're gonna have a lot of time to think
about it. All right now. Young Thugs x Jericha was
on the Progress Report podcast and she talked about speaking

(19:37):
to Young Thug while he's been in jail. Here's what
she said. Yeah, I spoke to him. He's doing good actually,
and he's in great spirits. I feel like this is
just a moment for him, like to learn a lot
of lessons and like, honestly, he was giving me advice
on how to He was like, keep your head in
the game, like wake up every day and put a
smile on U face, like and be thankful and we're good.

(20:00):
It's like I love my fans stuff like that. And
that was it. I was like, all right, I really
feel like I see his faith. You know what I'm saying,
I don't really really do. And like that's what a
lot of people don't know, Like, bro, what I mean
really like not the viable inside out like that probody
would know about him because They nobody talking about that.
People come around him, they don't see how you talk
about guy. They don't talk about that. They talk about
everything else. That's a great answer, because I hate when

(20:22):
people ask me how somebody in jail was doing. They're
in jail, right, Well, all right, now let's discuss Tiger Woods.
Greg Norman is the creator of a Saudi backed golf series.
It's very controversial, and he told The Washington Post that
Tiger Woods was offered and turned down a deal that
was mind blowingly enormous. He said the deal reached into

(20:45):
the high nine digits the offer that was out to him.
So Phil Mickelson has already signed with that golf series.
They said his deal is worth two hundred million dollars.
According to Golf Channel, other high profile golfers are also
expected to compete in that new league. That league starts
as early as Thursday, with where they'll be teeing off
outside London. Now, Tiger Woods did acknowledge that he was

(21:06):
approached by the tour before but rejected it, and he
said Michelson has his opinion on where he sees the
game of golf going. I have my viewpoint on how
I see the game of golf, and I've supported the
tour and my foundation has run events on the tour
for a number of years. So no, God bless, that's
when you know you're getting a high amount of money. Million.
I'm okay, yeah, didn't tike a crack a billion before?

(21:28):
Am I making this out? Listen? He at one point
was like the highest paid athlete. Yeah, and so I'm
sure he's good. So I know right all right now,
Deshaun Watson is facing another sexual assault lawsuit as a
twenty fourth woman has come forward. That woman claims that
he ejaculated on her. Per reports, a massage therapist named

(21:48):
Katie Williams filed a lawsuit in Harris County, Texas against
him with her attorney on Monday. She says that he
masturbated and ejaculated in front of her in her apartment
during a massage therapy session in August of twenty twenty.
She also said that some of a seaman did get
on her as well. So this is now twenty four
allegations against the Shawn Watson and the FBI did allegedly

(22:10):
get involved last year as well. So she said she
gave him massage a few days prior to the alleged
Astulf without any problems. He tipped her one hundred dollars,
but then during a second session a few days later,
he asked her to rub his in her thighs before
demanding that she massage higher and higher, eventually leading her
to touching his scrotum and him getting an erection, and

(22:30):
that's when he stood up and ejaculated. Now the truth
of the Shawn Watching lawyer says, endings on a crime. Oh,
I didn't hear that. I saw that headline. He said,
have endings on a crime unless you're paying somebody. I
thought that's what I ray. Yeah, I don't can't say
that I would agree with that right all right now.
Steve Harvey has been joking about his daughter, Laurie Harvey

(22:53):
split from Michael B. Jordan, and he was on his
morning show and he had some laughs about here's what
he said, get out here, you damage, you gotta go.

(23:21):
I'm gonna have to start breaking up because he's going
to court. Yeah, he says, it's very costly. They're going
to break up over ig. They dropped on a clue
bond for lay Harvey. I don't know what's time, what's
with the summertime, man, you know what I mean, some
people like to be single during the summer, right, all right.
We don't know what went on with their relationship, but

(23:44):
they've both been out and about. You know, he was
at a game the other day. They showed his face.
They were saying, there's gonna be another Michael Jordan crying me.
People just have jokes. He's going through it. I'm sure.
I just know white white women are excited right now. Okay,
so white women put your bids in now because you know,
can't can't up with women after labor Day? What all right? Now,
Ryan Clark and there he's about to be on in

(24:06):
a second from the Pivot podcast. People are upset about
him and some tweets that he put out. He said
that Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson. He
said there, I said it. Have a great week. Ryan
knew the tweet that after he came to the Breakfast Club. Ryan,
we're talking to the Pivot podcast next hour. We literally
recorded that probably a couple hours before he posted that.

(24:29):
He didn't bring that up in the end. Now he
did not. Come on, Man, I love Chris Brown, but
stop ya gotta stop doing y'all gotta stop doing this
to people like Chris Brown, because when you do this,
you're chasing ghost Michael Jackson. And I'm not saying this
because he's deceased, just that what he's done will never
be duplicated. This man sold over one hundred million records
of one album. Well Tink agreed, by the way, agreed,
what with Ryan? Thanks to pull them on. He said,

(24:52):
I've been the only one saying this, and I felt
alone for so long. Welcome to the fold. Singer, dancer, writer, producer, actor, painter,
clothing designer. Him is the greatest, But CD has more gifts.
It's all we're saying. That's what they do with Lebron,
Like you bring up Lebron and Michael Jomp people like, well,
Lebron made a billion dollars and he still like to play.
What does that have to do with what he does
on the court. We're talking about music and we're talking

(25:13):
about dancing ability, right, That's what I would think we're
talking about. We're just talking about that were not. Of
course he can play basketball and new graffiti and all
that other stuff. What they got to do with music
and dancing and Chris Chris is amazingly talented. But it's
just like it's it's the bar that Michael Jackson said,
it is too high, Like why I even do that?
After Chris, Let Chris be Chris Brown and let Michael
b Michael. All right, well that is your room of report.

(25:35):
Let's reset graffiti. And how we know Michael didn't know
how to tack We don't know exactly. Wasn't he tagging
in the beat? The video wanted the videos back in
the day. But I will say, I mean, all right, tagging.
But Chris Brown, it's weird. Tank is saying he has
more gifts. He says, well, Michael Jackson is the greatest
of all time. He said, Chris Brown has more. I

(25:55):
just don't understand when why why they comparing that? Yeah?
But yeah, and why do they bring up all of
this other this stuff. I thought we were talking about
music and dancing. I thought we're talking about that artistry,
nothing else. Yeah, all right, well that is your rum
of reports. We got frontage news coming up. All right, Well,
let's talk about the Proud Boys leader and top members
and they're being charged and we'll tell you what's going on.

(26:17):
All right, it's the world most dangerous want to show
to Breakfast Club. So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never
be the same. Hey, what up Y'ALLAE dj MP. Have
you taken a closer look at the General Insurance yet
switched to the General and you could save over five
hundred dollars? Call eight hundred General or visit the General
dot com the General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. An insurance
agency Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. Yeah, since the world

(26:40):
most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God Angelie,
I was just telling our cameraman Nick that George Bush
is more talented than brocac Obama. Bush can draw his
ass off. Since that's what we Since that's up? What
you didn't know that Joe Buskin paint. That's a fact.
Joe Busch paints. Yes, what are we doing? Oh, it's
a show on the Breakfast Club and it's time for

(27:01):
front pagels. All right, Well, let's talk about the Proud Boys.
Leader and Rique Tarrio and four other leaders have been
charged with seditious conspiracy and that is escalating the criminal
case against this fire right extremist group. This is all
because of the January six US capital attack These are
the most aggressive charges that have been brought by the

(27:22):
Justice Department against the Proud Boys, and they are the
first allegations by prosecutors that the group tried to oppose
by forrests the presidential transfer of power. Now, CNN Sarah
Sinner did talk to Proud Boys leader and Riquetario about
the group's actions at the Capitol on January sixth, and
here's what he had to say. They shouldn't have reached

(27:42):
the capital with violence. He says that now, you right,
when the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When
the government fears the people, there is liberty. Doesn't that
show that you are celebrating terrorizing people. I was celebrating,
and I'll tell you, I'll celebrate the moment that the
government does for other people at that point. Again, and

(28:04):
I didn't have all the information that came in why
they were carwering or anything like that, but I think
that you didn't do that now that you know, no,
I don't. Another thing is I'll never regret something that
I sat inkyres in the mission guilt. That's what it
sounds like to me. And prosecutors have also revealed Aryot's
text messages from January sixth, where he compares the attack

(28:26):
on the US Capitol to the Winter Palace, the home
of the Russian Emperor, which was stormed during the Russian
Revolution in nineteen seventeen. He also appears to comment on
Congress being evacuated from the chambers unable to certify the
electoral College vote. An unnamed person texted him due, did
we just influence history? And he responded, let's first see
how this plays out, and then the unnamed person wrote back,

(28:48):
they have to certify today or it's invalid. So all
five of these people were previously indicted on that serious
conspiracy charges, and the defendants are set to be in court,
I believe on Thursday. Later on this week. Now Here
is what the Proud Boys leader in Micatario had to say.
They are still Americans, they are still human beings who
felt that their lives were in danger. How can you

(29:11):
not feel any sympathy or any empathy. I'm not going
to worry about people that their only worry in life
is to be reelected. All right? What kind of time
does that whatever they being charged for carry, Because it
sounds light Well, they're saying this is the most serious

(29:33):
charges that they've had brought against them to this point,
it sounds light, and you know that's the problem. There's
no real consequences to repercussions for January six. Is wild
that an attempted coup in this country happened and America
really just treated it like a bunch of kids. While
and that's break break. Yeah. Previously, they were indicted on
less serious conspiracy charges, and lawyers have maintained in court

(29:54):
that these guys had no plan when they walked to
the Capitol on January six. But this would show that
they actually did have a plan. And if I don't
know if you recall, but just last year, Enrique was
sentenced to five months in jail for burning a church's
Black Lives Matter banner in December and bringing high capacity
rifle magazines to DC days before the US Capital insurrection. Yeah,

(30:15):
that level of white supremacy is going to cannibalize us all.
That level of white supremacy is what's going to ultimately
you know, you no, not ultimately. It is bringing this
country to its niece right now as we speak. All right,
so we'll be paying attention to this as this is
going to be happening later on This a week on Thursday,
and that is your front page news. All right. When

(30:36):
we come back, man, we're going to talk to the
host of one of my favorite podcasts out right now,
the Pivot Podcast, my man, Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder and
Ryan Clark will be here to discuss with us a
whole bunch of things. Sadly, we recorded this before Ryan
put out that Chris Brown is more talented than Michael
Jackson tweet. Okay, so we won't be discussing that, but

(30:58):
we'll be discussing a whole bunch of other stuff. Okay.
It's the breakfast Club, The breakfast Club, the breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same. Yes, it's to
our most thing. Just want to show the breakfast clubs.
Charlotmagne and God Angela DJ Envy is off to day.
But we got the host of one of my favorite podcasts, man,
Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder. The Pivot Podcast

(31:21):
is here. That's happening. Appreciate you having this, baby, Appreciate
that for sure A lot lately. I really appreciate what
y'all are doing, man, because I think it's doping people
who actually lived in control their own narratives. So we
made y'all want to do this. We had to get

(31:42):
away from the other situation, remembering and um, we didn't
know what we were gonna do. We just weren't gonna
stay over there. And then Channing that we talked, and
then eventually we had a conversation from RC and then
you know, we had to pivot from them. We ended
up with the pivot because you already was doing one right,
y'all was doing something on my own already, just because
I was just trying to get the reps of interviewing,

(32:02):
doing those things, telling telling certain stories. And I did
the Old Show with them. They needed a guest host
somebody was missing. So I did the Old Show. It
went really well. And then Alicia Zubakowski, who's the producer,
she just hit me up like would you do the show?
Would you talk to Channing? Me and Channing talked for
about an hour and a half one night, you know,
because my first question was can y'all fix the old thing?

(32:23):
You know what I mean? Because I think anytime, like
in our culture, when something does become that big and
it does become something that the community grabs onto, like
I didn't want that to just go away behind nonsense, right,
and then you know, once they let me know what
the deal was and how everything went down, I was like, cool,
let's do it. But I can honestly say I didn't
expect it to be what it is. No though, for sure,

(32:44):
it's so important to take care of the business, to
aspect of it. So when you guys did the Pivot podcast,
what agreement did you come to with each other to
make sure that it was fair for everybody? Oh well,
we learned from the front. Other situation where you just
jump out with your homeboys. Hey, we tied, we played together,
we know each other. Man, let's do and then it
blows up and then check start coming and now you're
panicking on the back end. Oh well, what percentage is mine?

(33:06):
What percentage? George? So before we even shot an episode,
we set up our business, set up our LLC, our
big one. We connected all three of our businesses to it.
We brought in our producing our attorney, so everybody got there.
You know there it's not equal percentage where the main
three owners we own there's eighty percent of it. And
then so that's already set up before Dime came in.
So we were front money. All of us are paying

(33:27):
for our own stuff to start it, to get it,
going to travel to production, everything with our producer, and
we're paying for it ourselves. And said, okay, we're gonna
bet on ourselves to come in. But we didn't. Even
we left the other spot. Man and Freder were like,
we got to do a podcast. But then we just saw, man,
it's it's the it's the young kids that come up
tell you. From the fourteen year old that come and
be like, hey man, that beasy stuff was crazy, to

(33:49):
sixty year old that comes up to you. So we're
really affecting the culture. So that's when Man and Freder
were like, but we got to keep this going somehow
to really just speak to the people. And we wanted
to bring in a third and the list was short.
It was Ryan Clark. We knew the dude. He's talented,
he was that good guy. So that's what we brought in.
But yeah, we didn't we didn't have to do it.
We didn't want to, just want to do it, but
we had to because we just saw we thought we

(34:09):
were affecting so many people. Well you know, I'm glad
you said that because coming from pro sports. Y'all make
multi millions of dollars podcast money ain't like that initially,
yeah at all, and it might take a while to
even get to that multi millions of dollars. So did
that impact anything? No, not for me. Okay, Like I said,
it's all about teaching, you know, being transparent and learning
and just really opening up conversations. I think that's what

(34:31):
we've been great at and really just jumping in it.
We started the other thing just doing quarantine. Say we
were born in the house, just trying to get outside
and you know, do some stuff talk and then it
just evolved into that. For me, I never thought i'd
be a media right so just to really be here.
It's still I think my drive now is the fact that,

(34:54):
like Challenge just said, people run up on us. Damn
y'all changing my life. The DMS man and that right there,
open my eyes, Man, I need this, you know, it's medicine.
So that keeps you driving. So and it really the
money's gonna come on and back in, you know what
I'm saying. We can sustain this, So that's not the
important thing right now. It's just the conversation. If you
if you chase the money, You'll never catch it, right

(35:16):
what you said about athletes being in a box. Do
you think that's where the stereotype of the dumb job
comes from because they don't. They don't they only want
to talk to you all about one thing. Well, I
don't think that's it's necessarily like like that's where the
dumb job comes from, because I think some jobs are dumb,
just like anybody. Do you know what I'm saying? That
was really good at ball and also not very intelligent

(35:38):
like that's and so I think and so I think
people try to like stereotype everyone in that way. But
I think it's it's much like it's much like anything else.
It's where like where people see you and box you
in or how they meet you, it's hard for them
to get outside of that, right, like if you're not
having a right like if you're not having a conversation
with us, like if you never sit down and bring

(35:59):
up enough the topic, then you don't know what the
hell I know? And like this show was let us
do that. I love so many of your episodes. Man,
you know, Channing, people got mad at you when you
called uh Russell Wilson a square. Do you take that back,
not at all, not one bit. You know what I did?
I did, you know, so I did creep in the
g cold locker room bringing up Sierra and why they're together,

(36:22):
you know what I'm saying. And Fred actually Fred narc
Afterwards they got on me, like, bro, you know what
I'm saying. She wanted her piece. You know, you can transition,
you don't go to different situation Kim from Kanye to
David Switz name Davidson. Don't follow that man, but like
they are two different people, so I understand the chain.
So bringing up bring up man's family, I'll take that back.
But have y'all seen Russell's videos. You've seen men stern

(36:45):
land it and this goofy. But no, no, no, But
there's nothing wrong with being a squares I know. That's
what I'm saying. That I didn't call him out. That's
a positive thing to me, really, But I think I
think him alcohol I didn't call him alcoholic. I didn't
call him a dad. I call him a pedophile. Some
people felt like some people felt like it was personal,
like you have a personal issue with him. No, no, no,

(37:06):
I there's lame people all around, I think, and I'm
calling l throw a name out, let's say lame cool.
It's an opinion, and that's what I thought. Like it's folks,
I think I'm lamed, and I don't give a damn.
I don't know why so many people were mad that
my opinion of Russell Wilson is a square in the lane.
But that's what happens when you have a successful podcast.
But you say holds a lot more weight than just

(37:26):
having a regular conversation. But also, I guess, look a
person that people look at and said, that's a good guy.
Why is a good guy considered lame? There's good people
that are cool. Yeah, just the way Russ hold himself,
his little videos. You saw him come up, You see
how it's he hadn't been a locker room with people
that know how to talk to talk to learn how
to talk to talk. But he's not built like that. Man.

(37:48):
I'm Atlanta, dude, And that's how he doesn't understand who
in the black community is protected. Certain people you can't
say certain things about, and that's beautiful black love. You
can't violate that. Yeah, but he spoke his opinion. So
that's one thing Channing gonna do. You watched the episodes.
Channing gonna be black and white. Ain't no great bout
chann It's gonna always be transparent. You're gonna like it

(38:10):
or you're not. You know what I'm saying that, And
that's really that's it, and it works. It wasn't though
what people try to make it though, And I think
that was that was that was my larger issue. And
you got it and you mean you for sure though
you know what I'm saying, Like, you say certain things
and you may not expound, and people bring it to
something else, right because obviously if I'm connected to him
and I'm laughing during the time, and even in the

(38:32):
peace I said, I was like, bro, but when you've
been in something that's toxic, you just want peace, even
like even I said that, but I also agree that
he's square. You know. The thing that frustrated me is like,
now people are coming at us like you can't say
anything about it because of the couple, right, it's because
of the couple. And like I had the conversations with people,
which I love being able to have those conversations. I

(38:53):
was like, look, you know in two thousand and sixteen,
with Michael Bennett's walking off to the stage in a
Black Lives Matter shirt, and they asked Russell Wilson. He says,
police lives matter, and everybody's lives matter. Of course, black
lives matter. Lord, you know what I'm saying. And so
at that time, at that time, like I went on
TV that day, I'm on first take. I went on
TV like NA, like we needed somebody to be strong,

(39:16):
and to me, it's like okay. And then in twenty
twenty and like things change and your mind's change, and
you know, you're now married to a black woman and
you have black kids, and so you know now all
those things are important. In twenty twenty, he gives this
in passionate speech on the espiece and that's cool, right,
But for me, somebody who's the same way in sixteen
and white people accustomed me calling me racist, And then

(39:38):
in twenty twenty, I'm getting calls every time I get
off a TV that my voice is needed. That is
square to me, it's okay to say that. And also say,
you know what, my daughter, I want her to marry
a man that loves her the way he seems to
love Sierra and take care of his kids, not only
his kids, her other kid like all those things are beautiful,

(39:58):
and I wanted to be a black man's that should
be okay to say too. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
So I think that I just think that, you know,
that thing was taking way out of context and I
hated that he got killed for it and his wife
was getting messages and and different than my daughters getting messages. Yeah,
and so I thought that, you know, like, come on though,
like know who we got more with the Pivot podcast

(40:20):
coming up when the World Most Dangerous want to Yes,
since the World Most Dangerous want to show the Breakfast
Club Charlomagne and Guy and Angela e DJ envying right now,
we're kicking it with the Pivot podcast and the Michael
Beasley episode. Man, that was so important, and I don't
I don't think he would have gotten that opened anywhere else.
For some reason, he felt very comfortable in that environment.
Have y'all followed up with him since then? I hit

(40:41):
him constantly. I have a lot of blue texts though,
and he doesn't. He hasn't really returned anything, but like
I reposted this stuff, I texted him all the time
just to check on him. And I think it's you know,
for us It was one of those things, honestly, all
that like we weren't expected, like when he came on,
like Chan and Fred had to go like talk to
to just get him to do the show kind of

(41:02):
had like just because you when you get to our show,
it's kind of like not just a regular podcast. Its
cameras everywhere and people moving around, and so you know,
he didn't want to do it initially, and like through
the first few minutes, we didn't know what it was
going to be, and for him to open up in
that way, like you almost felt like you almost felt
ill equipped for it. And I think that's why it
ended up being so beautiful, was because we all had

(41:25):
to like just strip down and just be there with it,
and it was It's the interview that when people talk
about where our show has come to this point, the
interview everybody all point too, because I believe that's kind
of what started the pivot. No, he Wet reached out
to him twenty times and he didn't respond back and
just random like he just got on the team. He
just signed a deal in what China? Right, congratulations, Yeah,

(41:50):
let me you know, let me know, just like on
the show when I told him brother, I got kids,
we get the bounce house in the backyard. Every time
we had a party, I reach out to the man, Hey,
bro having something Saturday. A couple of times I did it,
no response, But when you want help, you reach out
for it. And everybody hit us like this man needs help.
Psychiatrists with DM ME, not just I know DM me, Hey,
can you please get a touch with Michael Bees. I'm like, listen,

(42:10):
I'm not giving this man number to you, but I
keep reaching out to him, and at any moment he
does respond, I holler at him and I'll have a
team ready to do something for him. But just wishing
the best ball. I know we all reached out to
him a number of time, So what was that conversation
to even get him to do it? Initially A couple
of friends, a couple of people I reached out too.
We talked about doing it when we were on the
other side, but that was shot down, so thank god

(42:34):
it was. And I think that's the beauty about what
we do, Like we just let people speak. Some people
come with agenders and they have things that they want
to vent to and get off their chests, and then
we're gonna do enough research where we can expound and
we can carry a conversation. So I think really that's
what creates our dynamic one guests. No, we're gonna do

(42:55):
right by him. We ain't looking for no click baits.
We're just looking to let you up. We'll let you
see the cuts before we send them out. All the promos,
you signed off on them. We're good to go. Has
anyone ever said can you take this out? Yeah? We
have a we have a show. We have a show
that we can't release it because because the guests come right.

(43:16):
I always, hey, can I ask this right? Because you know,
you study, and you know you know what you want
to get to and if you get to it, you will,
And so I'm like, can I ask this? Can I
ask this? There's like, oh yeah, like we're all good.
So I was like, this is gonna be an excellent show.
We do. The show shows phenomenal. I get a call
from my agent, my TV agent, and he's like, look,
their agent called me. They need to take some things out.

(43:38):
And when people take things out, yall know, how did
you take like a snippet out or you might take
one answer out. They took out like twenty minutes of
a forty five minutes show. He must have got loose,
you know what I'm saying, And I was like, well,
we can't show this, you know, but it was. But
it's also one of those things though, like when I

(43:59):
look back on it, I think it's I think it's
even cool though that that we could be in that,
but we could be that way, like if you feel
that And they have a dock a documentary coming out,
so I guess they thought they shared too much. But
if you feel like you did someone on the show
and you know you gotta take so much out, We're
not gonna put you out there bad. We're not gonna
be like, nah, you said it, we're gonna do it.
You signed a release. No, we're not gonna do that

(44:21):
because you don't want you don't want that to be
attached to your name either. And to be honest, um,
they don't told stuff I hadn't done on the show.
We'll stop the show afterwards, and all producing Freddy and
RC be like, hey, they mid part with Chane. Just
you know, I get why I would set your stuff
or just you know, just start talking crazy talking about
you know, back in the day when I used to
running them streets, and then after the show, as soon

(44:43):
as it's old one ready to be like RC, we
can't play the stuff about the club, and then the
producer be like okay, and she ended it up and
be right. But yeah, from on all our standpoints like
we're not We're not there to get anybody, man, And
I think that's what people gathered. A lot of people.
One thing I was surprised by is that when you
would come on, they're always gonna watch shows before. They
always want to see what to expect when they get there,

(45:04):
so they already know his approach, they know my approach,
they know Freddy's approach, so they already are kind of prepared.
But if they would say something crazy, we'll even in
the middle of show sometimes we'll be like, they'll talk.
It was a show recently and dude saying something. Fred
was like, you don't ye because you already know they
gonna Why give somebody undecessary backlash for no reason? Yeah,

(45:26):
I mean you had a nice moment with Shaq too. Yeah. Yeah,
See the funny thing was shot. He came in shooting,
he walked then started calling me names and you know
this ugly uglass little boy it's your big ass, right,
But it was even started off camera, so we get

(45:47):
on camera. That's why me and Jack just kept shooting
at each other because it was already established and he's
a cool dude, and and that's the comfort level. So
he walked in being and everybody kisses, kisses butt shack
shack when he walk in the hotel, was that everybody
ran out the damn restaurant. Stop people running out trying
to take pictures of him. He get upstairs with us,
I mean, with your big ass. Why you got them
leather shoes on them? So we started talking to him

(46:09):
like a normal person. And that's what losing people up
because I always say it, man, you put your pant
your draws on before your pants, just like like you know,
you're a human being. I don't actually see you putting
your pants on before your drawing. Some of these nights
I've been wrong. I'd be wi over. Sometimes you ain't
been nervous with anybody though, Like has anybody made you yeah,
oh yes, yeah, or something that we ain't seen you,

(46:32):
Caitlin Caitlyn Jenner, H yeah, yeah, you just I ain't
see that one I did see because she said some
real because she was like, Yo, basically, it seems like
it's a trend. Yeah, everybody didn't being braced in the trend.
I thought that was gonna happen way more backlash than
it did. But so the crazy thing is though, when
when we got the opportunity to do it, I was

(46:54):
actually in the car with him and I was like,
we can't do it and he was like no. He
was like, I was right up, He's it's gonna be
a great conversation r Seed and I'm gonna I'm gonna
do this and I'm gonna ask her this, I said,
nah man, I said, because chann I was like, you
really can't like change on this, like you gotta kind of.
I was like, because if we upset the trans community.
I was like, we might not have a show, you

(47:16):
know what I mean. He was like, Noah, I'm gonna
be straight on, gonna be straight, I said. But on
the other side of it is too, I said, because
she's a guest. That's not necessary to like for our
target demographic. I was like, we can't go on there
and not be us, you know what I'm saying, Like,
I actually don't want Channing or Fred or myself to
have to be on a show with a guest where
we can't do what we do and we can't do

(47:38):
it in the way that people have grown to love
the show. And so like that was the conversation we
were having, and we had it for a day and
then like we finally and we know in the day,
we was ten hours when we figured we could do
the show. So we had to coach this dude right here,
like you don't know if he's playing, I'm gonna ask it.
I'm gonna ask her. This got guys still just like

(48:03):
he whood out, just like y'all see y'all you know
what I'm saying, y'all, you're looking you got next question this,
So we got to do the same thing, like we'll
put our finger up or you got it every time
for my finger. During that interview, they both be like, no,
I got out of line, but I did ask the
real questions. You're scared that one question, though, how do

(48:25):
you get to a proper understanding if we don't have
these real conversations or you gotta have these real questions
questions when you asked that, you were scared to ask, like, man,
what you got in your drawers? You know what I'm saying, Like,
that's why I say you say that. Usually I would
say I would say, just like in my thing, it's like, man,
oh the sugar it's funny because all that sugar coat
when people like so I've heard in the past I
listened to another interview of yours and try to sneak

(48:46):
up on the topic. Let me not waste your time,
let me just ask the question. So in that one,
I didn't just ask the question and that be like,
you're real nice with this one said scared. So people
no chance, Yeah, coming in there looking for chen to
like shock you know what I'm saying. They come in
there and they're trying to get him open, because when
you break him, you break the ice. In the interview,

(49:08):
just go. We got more with the Pivot podcast coming
up on the World Most Dangerous, Want to Show the
Breakfast Yes, it's the World Most Dangerous? Want to Show
the Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God and Angela E DJ envying.
Right now we're kicking it with the Pivot podcast. I
want to tap back into the Michael Beasley Comma and
the mental health combo. Was that ever something y'all were
able to discuss as athletes, y'all, y'all mental health. I
think when you were playing, you don't really pay attention

(49:30):
to it. Yeah, I mean, you're a warrior, you know,
you just out there competing. You're trying to knock the
next guy head off or try to avoid getting your
head knocked off. So that conversation, especially when we were playing,
it wasn't as prevalent, you know, as important as it
is now. But on the other side of that, you know,
now that we are out of the game, we're able

(49:51):
to see these guys that are either committing suicide, they're
struggling or going through you know, these mental health issues.
You know, we always try to bring it to the forefront,
you know. And I knew that before the Beachley episode.
For example, there were some questions about you know, his
state of you know mine, and that was a few
angles and a few questions that we were going to ask,

(50:13):
but we didn't know it was gonna go that deep,
you know, So we always want to, you know, before
we would call it a check in, you know, check
on your people, follow up, see how they're doing, because
you just never know because even in our game, is
it like seventy eight or eighty seven percent of the
guys are broke, file bankrupt, or divorce within three years
when they're done, and that can put pressure and exhvidite

(50:35):
whatever's going on upstairs. You get into depression, you know,
the anxiety of thinking where the next dollar coming from,
because guys on't all you get it at such a
young age, you don't necessarily know which way you're gonna go.
But the good thing is the NFL provides all of
those resources, really, but all of them. If anybody I
heard it coming the other days, say what can we do?
We gotta you know, get with you know, the NFLPA

(50:59):
and do this and that. They're already doing that. The
players just gotta take the time to go take advantage
of the resources they've given. They've got money laid out everywhere,
so you just gotta go. You gotta put that in
your everyday routine and say this is what matters to me.
You gotta do it now. Though, especially for the young
guys that's active, they gotta do it right now. But

(51:19):
you're so much I think you're so much more evolved.
Like I gotta give you some love. I'm gonna go
Freddie Flowers here you and you starting to speak about
mental health made me actually check myself. And I remember
meeting you at h spent one. You were way nicer
and more polite than I thought you'd be. Listening to
the show, I'm like May telling people they boxed trash

(51:41):
and you gotta be a bad guy. But but so
and just like because you know I and I've talked
about it with them all the time. You know, like
I grew up both parents, you know, great childhood, but
like my parents were really tough. My parents who were
my day, worked hard as hell, and they said, you
know what, like my mama told me, you know, like
depression is something that black a black man can't afford, right,

(52:04):
or sadness or different things like that. And so you know,
there were times where I could have been battling battling
things and just not let myself accept it right because
to me, it was unacceptable. And I've had to learn
as I've gotten older, to be sympathetic to those things
and to try to understand that one not everybody sees

(52:26):
it like me or is built like me, and that
these things do truly exist not only in our culture
but in the world period. And you know, from listening
to you my Homeboy and Monday and Monday says something.
Monday Bryan says something on his episode that I thought
was so deep. He said, what people got to understand,

(52:46):
it's what's good for black people can be good for
all people, you know. And so I had to truly
start start getting out of that mindset of, Nah, you
don't have to tough your way through everything, like you
can't talk to people like you can you are also
dealing with things. Because when I played like I was
an undrafted dude, you know, I spent my first four
years trying not to be cut, you know what I mean.

(53:07):
And when those things happening happened because I grew up
with a mama and with the church every day, it
wasn't you know, you need to talk to somebody that
you're dealing with something I just got on my knees
or I got in that book, you know, like that
was the way I dealt with it. So I am
still like at my age, like I am still learning.
And so honestly, when we have Michael Beasley and are
able to have that conversation, it truly helps me more

(53:30):
than anything because it starts to let me know that
these things are real. You know, you have to deal
with them. People have to deal with them. And it's
okay because I truly felt like it wasn't even in
my parenting, Like I've had to adjust, you know as well.
But I think and I say, I'm the cave man
of the crew. They're way more evolved than I am.

(53:50):
And I learn it now. You know, the mental health
awareness ain't been about ten years now that it's really
come to the fore from them, maybe less, especially in
our community. Yeah, so you playing ball, you don't grind
your whole life to be the one percent of one percent.
You break your finger tied to the next one, you
just okaate your shoulder popping back in and go play.
So we're doing all this on the field to play
ball to make money. You're the best of the best.
You woke up sad, like I remember some guys just

(54:13):
being like, man, I'm down, and you look at Brund.
We got let's go like it's time to play. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
we gotta like this. There's no off, there's no replacement
for you, and he's worse than you. That's why he's
your damn backup. So I think like that barbaric side
of football, especially you know basketball things are different, but
football exactly physically. I have to see something wrong with you.

(54:33):
If I see your your bone pop out of your ankle. Okay, bro,
you can take a couple of weeks off. You're depressed.
What does that mean? Yeah? And I didn't when I played,
I didn't understand it. And I knew guys are going
through stuff. I tell the store like Junior Sayal who
took his own life. That was my homeboy, that was
my dude. And I remember the day I saw it.
I called his phone and when the voice man, I
just broke down in tears, and that it started clicking

(54:56):
to me talking to them Ricky Williams a lot post career,
and Ricky explod ain't it to me? Like I started
really seeing like this is this could be bigger than
the torn acl This could be life for death, torn
a sil you missed nine months, This could be life
or definity to talk to the mental side. So I
have come around from my Barbara and my you know
caveman waves to really respecting and when somebody says they're
not feeling good, hey I need some time. Let me

(55:19):
call my homeboy and really talk with him and really
break this down. So I hopefully that hopefully, if my
old country ass can do it, the whole league and
the world will open up, specially Black people will open
up and understand this could be bigger than something you
can see. Something you can't see might be a bigger
even than something you can watch walking walking towards you
in the hallway. I wonder if it's easier to play
football than it then a sport like basketball, because of

(55:39):
the fact you know they an't hurt people hurt people.
You can actually go out there and hurt somebody and
you get paid for that's supposed to do. Like I
wonder to take to your point to take a human beings,
physical person and not be concerned with it. If I
hit him in his knee and it pops backwards and
bone pops out, good y'all, you'll get patted on the back.

(56:01):
That was a hell of a hit. You're not gonna
do to sleep. That was a hell of a hit, bro,
So did I do? Do you have to disconnect yourself
from almost humanity to go out there on Sunday? Because
I can't look, I can't. I meant, well, me and Freddy.
He was always player. When I played Freddy, I couldn't
look at Freddy fred to my homeboy, my dog. We
both gators. You know what I'm saying. I know, I
know I got kids. I know he's man. I know

(56:22):
he's happy, you know, a happy dude. If I get
a chance to knock him to sleep, I have to
do it. That's my job. I had to disconnect myself
from the relationship and disconnect self from human beings. I'm
not walking in public busting my head in nobody's chest
down down to seafood out. But when I get on
the football field, to hell with you, to hell with you,
to hell with you. If I don't do my job,
I'm getting cut. But did you did you put that

(56:44):
much thought into it though, because it wasn't like I
didn't have a places. I was four and it was
just always the same thing, you know, like like we're
gonna play and it is it was what it was.
I'm backyard playing throw up tackle with the homeboys. Yeah,
I'm gonna try to smash you through this fence, and
you know, hopefully your mom gonna go cook tonight and
we just go all eat together. And I think I
don't know, man, I just think like like like for us,
you know, I tell people all the time, like I

(57:05):
only wanted one job my whole life, and I was
to play football, and I did for free for so
long that when they would pay me, like I was like, oh,
this is this is what it's supposed to be. And
that was I think that was also played it too.
It though, like we don't get to call out, like
we don't have holidays, right, you're working on Christmas? You like,
you don't you don't have sick days when I was

(57:26):
when I was sick, you know what I mean? Like
when I was sick, I went to work every day.
I couldn't stand up straight for a month, but I
went to work every day because they couldn't figured out
what was wrong with me, because that's what you're supposed
to do. And about eleven o'clock every day they'd send
me home, you know, because I had a fever or whatever.
And so I think, you know, we were just always
taught that if you ain't dead, you got to be here.

(57:46):
And so I think for us, though Charlemagne, that crossed
over mentally and emotionally as well. It's like I can't
go in here and tell these people I don't feel
good or I don't have it, And I think that
part played it to it and the physicality of it
to me was was what defined you, you know what
I mean? Like I felt like, like I respect I

(58:08):
could say this, I respect tougher individuals more than I
respect talented individuals, you know what I mean. Like it
was some dudes that like this dude right here, one
of the most talented humans I've ever played against, Like
you couldn't touch him in a phone booth, but he
was also a dog, and like that was what I
admired about him. And I think when people constantly in
our locker room, in our world, when people constantly applaud

(58:32):
you for toughness, it makes you want it more. Like
when I would put people to sleep, you know what
I mean, Like they would love it, and I was like, Oh,
that's all I gotta do is just run my face
into his face and get up first. I'll do that
every single snap because that's what they're gonna pay me for. Man.
I think what y'all doing so necessary. But I don't
think we'd be having these conversations with athletes and about

(58:54):
athletes in this way if it wasn't for these kind
of platform because I don't think they would ever going
espn A Fox supports at any and be that open
and vulnerable as they all with y'all. So but thank
you man, all the smoke us whose are other great ones?
Um many million dollar worth of game. Absolutely all I've got.
We wouldn't be there without y'all, Yes, real, yeah, thank
a boy. The platform y'all set up. Y'all got three people,

(59:16):
smart people, sit down, communicate, interview folks like y'all. Y'all
taught us this game. Y'all didn't know each other, right, Okay, Yeah,
so y'all taught up this game. So all the love
that you've given us in respect and we appreciate it.
Without the Breakfast Club, I believe there's no all the smoke,
there's no Pivot, there's no million worth. Y'all set the

(59:37):
standard and we appreciate it. Thank yall. It happens for
a reason. Absolutely podcast. Y'all got that pop in after
you know things didn't work out in the previous situation,
and it's even better. Make sure y'all subscribe to the
Pivot podcast. Fred Taylor Channing crowd to Ryan Clark, thank
y'all for coming, but I thank you guys for having us.
By the way, I just want to say this has
been like a dream of mine and I didn't want

(59:58):
to say in the beginning, So thank y'all so much.
This is this is like oh my bucket lists of
media things to do, so I appreciate it done. It's
the Breakfast Club. This is the rumor report. Angela Yee
on the Breakfast Club. Well, while on Math hoff is

(01:00:21):
my expert opinion. Fact Joe revealed that he has the
Fat Joe Show coming to Stars. Here's what he had
to say. But Joe, you got a show coming out,
I got breaking news. So every Sunday, eventually every Sunday
after you watch BMath from Power, you're gonna see the
fat Joke. Oh god, all Stars now the number one show. Listen.

(01:00:48):
It was a lot of channels trying to get this.
Puff is my partner and we chose them because that's
prime time every Sunday, and so I can't tell you
no more. Already broke the new there's nobody ever. I
like that makes a lot of sense. Especially watch BMF
and Power you can see the Fat Joe Show and
it's true. Right, It's like after you watch BMF and

(01:01:09):
Power on Stars is there's nothing there. So if you
know you did a show afterwards and you know you're
probably discussing what you just saw on the show. Plus
out some guests like absolutely all work kind of like
watch what Happens Live Sleuth the math haf for them too.
I like with the what they're doing over there, math
haff him a man Honeken. All right, now, Lebron James
is saying that he might possibly have a podcast coming.

(01:01:33):
He tweeted out, it's so funny to me how many
basketball experts there are on this app uh. Then he said,
jumping on someone podcast to and maybe my own. Lebron
just bored Braun watching them NBA finals Okay, and he
didn't play it against Steph and what three three, three
or four NBA Finals? I think it well, I don't remember.
He's just bored. I mean, if he did a podcast,
it would go crazy immediately. You kind of got one

(01:01:54):
already with the Shop though, like just put the shop
out in all I think the Shop already comes out
and it is an audio also, yeah, Shop is a podcast,
but he's not always on it, right, not always, but
a lot. Yeah, but right now he can be on it.
You have plenty of time to be on there all
right now, Kevin Hart. He has expanded his twenty twenty
two Reality Check tour and added nineteen new dates, so

(01:02:18):
get ready for that. It starts July eighth in Atlantic
City at the hard Rock and it ends this is
a long tour December seventeenth at Foxwoods Resort Casino. We
didn't even say what podcast would we like to heal
Lebron on though if he did do a podcast, he said,
maybe his own. What would you like to hear him on? Um?
Actually haven't just tucked to the Pivot podcast. The Pivot

(01:02:39):
are all the Smoke. I think All the Smoke would
be great. That would be good for him to be
on there. Ernie Leisha would be good for business, Yeah,
because he has a lot of investments that he's done.
Him and Bath should do Ernie Leisia together. He should
do all the Smoke by hisself. That'd be dope, all right. Um.
Benny the Butcher has dropped a song and a fundraiser

(01:02:59):
for the Buffalo mass shooting victims, so he's doing his
part to help out and his black Soprano Family team
has link with designers Kat and Nolan Cartwright, so that
limited edition T shirt drop has one hundred percent of
the proceeds going to the Buffalo Survivors Fund and at
shirt roll honor all ten victims their names and honor.
It's available now. It retails for forty dollars and they

(01:03:21):
only made two hundred of them, so it's very limited.
And Dave Chappelle has announced all the proteds from his
show and Buffalo will go to the families of the
mass shooting victims as well. So he was performing at
Chase Performing Art Center and Buffalo and announced that at
the end of the show as well. Also, he was
supposed to be on Drink Champs with black Star. You know.
Black Star has a new album out by the way,

(01:03:42):
they want to come up here too. And the episode
was supposed to be released on May twenty six, but
according to Paid six, Dave said he wants to put
the episode on hold because of all the recent tragedies
and Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas. He just felt like the
timing was not right for that, and they said hold off, slowdown.
It's tone deaf to release some thing at this time. Well,
what was he saying on Drink Champs that he thinks

(01:04:02):
would be tone deaf? Well, he just didn't want to
put it out right now. I guess he just wants
to wait. You know how, sometimes something tragic happens if
you have the opportunity to say, well, let's hold on,
there's too much going on right now. And they filmed
it before all of that happened, So maybe he just
wants to, out of respect, not do that right now.
I can understand that there's times I'm like, I don't
want to do this post I'm supposed to do right now,

(01:04:24):
just because there's something just happened. And I mean, but
then you also, you know, might bring some relief to people.
You know, some people might want to throw on Drink
Champs episode just to escape for a second, you know,
listening to Donna Ellen Dave on Drink Champs with black
Star might be to escape some folks need. Yeah, And
they said the episode was really focused on the release
of the Black Star album No Fare of Time, and

(01:04:45):
they were supposed to interview black Star, and Dave just
wanted to pop in and shout out black Star, which
he did do. And you know, they're saying they're talking
about releasing the episode at a different time or also
editing out Dave's parts, that we'll see what happened. Where's
the Black Star album? Met? Where's it good to get
released it? Um? I think you can get it right now.
I haven't seen it on those screaming services. I've looked.

(01:05:06):
All right, Well, let's well, they want to come up here,
so let's but I think it might have to be
I don't know. We'll figure it out. They want to come, Yeah,
send us a linked to the album. Guys. Okay, all right,
and that is your rumor report. I'm an Jelae now
coming up next, Charlottagne. You got Donkey of the Day.

But just because I love your city, that means nothing
this morning, because Donkey of the Day does not discriminate,

(01:07:15):
and today Travis Lamar Berkeley must come to the front
of the congregation. Let me tell you something, man. First
of all, I'm looking at this man's muck shot and
there's no way he's thirty four years old. Okay. This
man looked like he has only drink sixty four ounces
of water period, and his old his whole thirty four
years of existence. Okay, when you watch this later on YouTube,
you will see what I'm talking about. This is a

(01:07:36):
nineteen hundred and sixty nine looking thirty four year old. Okay.
He looks like he was in a group that started
with the Okay, the Whispers, the Four Tops, the Temptations,
ain't nobody coming to see you old his face? Ass?
All right? Does it make me a birthley because I
want to see this man's birth certificate. I know, scretch,
will you know give a young man an old face?
But this man was born in nineteen eighty eight, allegedly

(01:07:58):
nineteen eighty eight, the golden year of hip hop. And
he looks older than every rapper that dropped that year. Okay,
he looks older than every rapper that dropped that year.
Slick Rick Rod Kim, both members of the EPMD care
as one, DJ J Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I mean,
my god, but that's not what we're here today to discuss.
We are here today to discuss how wicked this world
is and the pure evil that exists in some people.

(01:08:19):
And that leads us to Travis Lamar Berkeley. See, he
was arraigned on six counts of felony, murdered his past
Sunday for allegedly and I'm only saying allegedly for legal purpose.
It's killing six people during a Bosch drobbery at the
Milwaukee Duplex in January. Six humans, six people. See, we

(01:08:39):
have to start humanizing these stories because we read these
headlines and you know, we see the numbers, but you
understand these are people like Angelie, Ye, Rag, myself, Nick.
I'm just pointing to people in the roles, but yes,
that's four people you're listening and driving. That could be you.
You that's gonna watch on YouTube later. This could be you,
you know. And that's how anxiety work, you know, at

(01:09:00):
least for me, when I hear stories like this, always
put myself in the position of the victim. Okay, never failed.
I started thinking about what if that was me and
five people I love murdered because somebody just decided, you know,
they wanted to rob one of us that daye Okay.
I try to give people grace and I think about
things like mental health. But when it's these plots like this,
when people premeditate things and playing things like robberies murders,

(01:09:22):
yes something is clearly mentally wrong with them. But you
got to figure that out in prison. Because the person
who will kill six people in the robbery's gone bad
doesn't care about me, you, your mama, and your cousin too.
He would do this to anyone anywhere, so he needs
to be off the street. Now, you know the six
murders that old English face committed. That's just the top player.
See this man with a prehistoried face profile not only

(01:09:43):
admitted to his crime, but you know he couldn't leave
the scene without a selfie. I can't make this kind
of stuff up. Let's go to CBS fifty eight footer report.
Police cell phone tracking played a key role in finding
Travis Berkeley, who police say took a selfie wearing one
of the victims classes at the scene of the crime.
The defendant took a photo of himself in abasement where
three dead bodies were later located. On The selfie shows

(01:10:06):
the defendant wearing a pair of what appears to be
expensive eyeglasses. Witnesses have told police that the defendant did
not wear glasses. The criminal complaint says those glasses likely
belonged to one of the victims. Police say they were
called out to twenty first and write on January twenty third.
Three bodies were found in the basement and three more upstairs,
all in rigor mortis. Witnesses say Berkeley apparently worked as

(01:10:27):
security for drug deals that took place where it all happened.
The complaint says one confidential witness told police Berkeley had
told him about the boxed robbery. That witness was later
recorded in a phone conversation talking about disposing the guns
he said Berkeley and his cousin had used during the shooting.
Man Meek Miller tweet is something yesterday and it's so true,

(01:10:47):
he said, you really got to be a warrior out
here if you've got something going for yourself as a
black man, y'all wouldn't understand it. We do to stay
alive and out of jail in our culture and still
remain with a good head on our shoulders. I totally agree. Okay,
great past the young jeez that is one said every
day is like a game. Call it fear factor, and
that's how it feels. Okay, if you have a little
bit more than the next man, you would target. All right,

(01:11:08):
This man, Travis Lamar Berkeley took the lives of six people,
six humans, for some cash, guns, drugs, and sunglasses and
took a selfie with the sunglasses in the basement of
the home where he killed these humans and left him
there for three days on the day of the murder.
What makes you, at thirty four years old, as a
black man, decided to kill six other black people for
some cash, guns, drugs, and sunglasses. Okay, Hey, it's very

(01:11:32):
true when they say when we don't know who to hate,
we hate ourselves. And that hate for yourself will cause
you to hate anyone who you cross paths with. And
when you have this level of self hate, you or
raise anybody that looks like you would ease simply because
you don't deem them worthy to live, because you don't
deem yourself worthy. Period. Now you're about to spend the
rest of your life in prison, you know, and for what?

(01:11:56):
And you took the life of six other black people
for what? Some cash, guns, drugs and sunglasses. Please let
me Mark give Travis Lamar Berkeley the biggest ye are
hee ha he ha, you stupid mother? Are you dumb?
And I don't know what those six people were into
and I don't care, you know what I mean to

(01:12:17):
reduce them to whatever they were into and say they
deserved it because of what they what they were into,
that's dehumanizing them the same way that you know Travis
Lamar Berkeley did, right, all right, Well, thank you for that.
Donkey of the day man. Please pray my brothers, my sisters,
pray for divine protection every day. Ask God to protect
you from trouble wherever you go, and keep evil far

(01:12:38):
away from you, because it is wicked out here. You
hear me. I guess good news ended this morning? Well yeah,
I guess all right. Well, coming up next, we do
have a guest. This is some good news, I would think. Yes,
she went through a lot just recently though, she's the
founder of the Honeypot, and somebody did a TikTok claiming
that the Honeypot was sold on the black owns anymore. Yeah,

(01:13:01):
it was not a black owned company anymore, and on
a lot discussing how they change the ingredients and their
feminine washes and how it's no longer I guess organic,
and it's no longer plant based. So Beatrice is coming
in today to address all of those things about the
company that she founded. That's all My wife and daughter

(01:13:21):
uses Honeypot, So I can't wait to talk to Beatrice.
It's the one most nats want to sho to Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club, Your morning's will never be the same
to Breakfast Club. Charlomagne, the God Angelie Ye DJ NBA's
off the day, and we have some very special guests
in the building. Is it safe to say the founders

(01:13:43):
of the Honeypot. Yes, okay, Beatrice Diction deserting the tally
and Simon Gray, good morning, Good morning, Beatrice. It's your
second time here? Yes, yes, all right, So similar situation.
So let's get into it, because it was a viral
moment that happened. Right, somebody had posted that the Honeypot
had changed their feminine wash ingredients, and then as people saying, oh,

(01:14:06):
you know, I felt like it was different, it was irritating,
so on and so forth, and then you did offer
an explanation. But let's talk about what happened with the Honeypot.
While you did change the ingredients, well, with the way
that the global supply chain is set up right now,
there's certain ingredients that just aren't available anymore because they're
in high demand, and so we needed to make some

(01:14:29):
changes to our formulation to work with ingredients that were plentiful.
I was saying the same thing where you don't have
a coffee company finding the tins, finding the lids, even
at the juice bar, getting cups honey, buying actual honey. Yeah,
and the juice bar has like went up in price,
I think six times more than what it used to be. Yeah,
So I know a lot of people are struggling with
those like are we raising the prices? Are we just

(01:14:51):
going to make less of our product? What is it
that we can do? Right? I think one of the
biggest issions people just wanted to know is the honeypot
is still black old? Of course yea yeah. Why people
think it was sold? There's two reasons, right, because you know,
typically when you go into business and you're creating something
in an enterprise level, right, you're going to get investors, right,
and every company that we know that we love and enjoy,

(01:15:12):
especially from black founders, we have funds that are coming
from people that don't look like us. That's the only
way you can scale that. Yeah, so only where you
can see. So it's really frustrating is having this kind
of conversation about us selling out. No. In order for
us to produce what we have, I mean, how many
stores we're in, we need money, we need capital. We

(01:15:34):
get it from where we can. And of course you
guys know about private equity, and so we have private equity,
and so we have to start changing this kind of
this conversation, this metrics of what success is, especially for us, right,
because we hold ourselves to this this weird standard. Yeah,
it's just people who don't know business, because it's strange
when people say things like, well, you don't never see
white companies do that. They do it all the time.

(01:15:56):
That's all they do, literally all Now, bitch, as you
did say that, you wish you would have communicated absolutely, absolutely,
And the reason is, you know, we were out of
stock for a few months because of global supply chain issues.
So we had a whole campaign, a whole strategy that

(01:16:16):
was gonna be able to launch. We were going to
be able to communicate things properly. At the same exact time,
we were also just launching our new innovation and target right,
and so we were like, you know what, let's just
go ahead and launch these washes because we have them.
There here no reason to be out of stock, no
reason to keep getting these complaints. And because we launched

(01:16:39):
new innovation at the same time as bringing this new formulation,
which was months before it was going to launch, we
kind of put some focus on our new innovation because
that's what you do, you have to. I think that
we could have done a better job, but it was
really just a quick decision that we made because we
wanted to make sure that we could supply the demand.

(01:16:59):
And this is just the thing that happens, right, is
that still plant derived ingredient. Absolutely? How did that make
you feel as the face of your product to get
attacked the way that you did online? Because I think
people don't understand. Also, when you're doing something that you
feel like has been beneficial and you're trying to do
the right thing, and then people may misinterpret or not
understand what's happening and then come up with all these

(01:17:21):
different things. That has to be mentally really kind of tratic. Yeah,
it's been a it was a hard month, you know,
But I'm just working on my energy and kind of
my mental health to not take that in, you know,
because I know that we're doing the right things. I
know that even the day that we may or may not,

(01:17:43):
I don't have a crystal ball that we decide that
we want to exit this company, even that day, we
would not sell out, because you don't exit a company
and just walk away. That's not how it works. One
of the main reasons why we would need to have
some sort of a strategic I don't even want to
call it an sit but a strategic partnership, right. And

(01:18:03):
that's not to say that I haven't said exit in
the past, because I have, But I think that a
better way to look at it is like a strategic partnership.
In order for a brand to be a billion dollar brand,
not invaluation but dollars, it takes a lot of money
to do that. And not only does it take money,
but it takes resources. And Honeypot makes cosmetics, we make

(01:18:26):
medical devices, we make over the counter drugs, like, we
make a lot of stuff. So there's a lot of
regulations that have to happen in that. There's a lot
of humans that you need on the team. There's just
a lot of details that go into running a business
something like shelf space, shelf space, I mean everything that
you can. Who's really looking at ingredients like that? And

(01:18:49):
I'm sure, But then it turned into a whole narrative
of them not being black owned no more. How do
they get that from ingredient changes? Yeah? I don't know, man.
You know, yeah one TikTok girls that they're not block
on doing more. People just ran with it, didn't question
it thing for you know, our inboxes are blowing up,
people are posting we can't control any of that. At
a certain point, it was like the words out there

(01:19:11):
that we're not block owned. She has a million views?
What are we gonna do now? Wow? So the honeypot
hasn't partnered with anybody strategically, Like no, no, no, yes,
y'all yet, man, I wish have y'all turned down anybody? No, no,
we we just we're not there yet. It takes time

(01:19:32):
for that attack to just come out of nowhere, didn't. Yeah,
it takes time to be able to do that. This
is somebody was eating. I thought. I thought maybe a
company y'all turned down and then you know they might
have been trying to go on social media. But it's
just I mean, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
I know stranger things have happened, So I have to
be honest. I have my theories. Yes, what do you think? Well,

(01:20:00):
I think like historically there has been situations like this
to where you know, companies did sell and then you know,
people just thought that that must have been what happened.
People jumped on something. They would on Google and Google
search something. They looked at the first search and they said, oh,
she must have soul. It's different and like that was
just kind of it. There was no other she thought,
and after that it was just kind of a witch hunt. Honestly, Simon,

(01:20:24):
give me a theory. Ready, you better. We've been working
hard for ten years and deservedly. There are just people
that want to, you know, bring our brand down. I
think that's really what it comes down to. We don't know, man,

(01:20:46):
we don't know what. We don't know what happened. We
weren't we weren't there. We weren't there when the when
those humans put their TikTok's up. But the fact of
the matter is it has not happened. And some ways
I wish it had, but you know, but not but
not again, not because I'm I'm just I'm over it

(01:21:07):
and I'm just ready to be done and we're just
ready to be It's not that kind of It's not
that kind of party, all right. We had more with
Beatrice Dixon, the founder of Honeypot coming up soon on
the Breakfast Club. Yes, Breast Club, Charlomne and God Angelie.
We're here with Beatrice Dixon, the founder of the Honeypot.
Now you got a question, yeah, so be it. Just
like I gotta ask you with all this controversy. Did

(01:21:28):
that affect your sales at all? Oh? Yeah, it soft
they softened a little bit. And the thing is is
we had to make sure. You know, I'm I pray
to all the gods that that you know that that
that it's temporary in it and it will be Please
please please support us, you know, because we're we're we're

(01:21:50):
we're doing really beautiful work. We're doing things the right way,
We're doing things ethically, We're doing things with really beautiful intentions.
We're on it. We're focus, you know, we give this
everything we have. We invest so much in the science
behind our brand, understanding what it is, understanding how it works,
understanding how humans are reacting to it, like we're in it.

(01:22:13):
And the problem with that is the person who made
the original TikTok is they're gonna apologize now. Oh it's
still up, Like she knows fully well what she's spreading.
Its misinformation, and she's still gonna keep dot content up.
She's going by. She got a lot of views and
a lot. Yeah, there's people running ads off of us.
Other business we're running adds off of this? Is she black? Yes? Wow?
See we do it ourselves And I feel like, you

(01:22:34):
guys are so early, but the natural ingredients and the
plant derived ingredients. Because then I saw a lot of
other companies emulating that afterwards, you know, And that's what's crazy, right,
Like this woman will go out of her way to
make y'all get canceled, y'all sales go down. A white
company will come start selling the same type of products,
the same plant based everything, and people will support that

(01:22:54):
with no problem. Black people would support it with no problem.
And then creasent thing is they did it to TechEd
black women. I was talking, my sisters were getting if like,
I want to protect the black community, so I'm gonna
come after you. We are black women. I like to
have someone like cuts me out like that and be like,
you don't appreciate black women. What's going on? What are

(01:23:14):
some things you would say that from this whole experience
that you've learned, because with everything that happens, that's a
challenge to us. We also learned things from it. Yeah,
I mean, I didn't know that this would take me
out the way that it did, but just that energy
is a real thing. This is what I personally learned
from it to double down on taking care of myself. Look,

(01:23:37):
the whole source of this is because Honeypot is a
beloved brand. All of this happened because we have a
human customer who loves us, who's dedicated to us, and
who's invested in us. And when there's love and dedication
and investment, if things change, that can feel like a
betrayal because we've been conditioned way and sometimes it is

(01:24:01):
a betrayal. I'm not going to say that it's not
so making sure that whenever we do what we do,
that we are cognizant that we are talking to humans
who love us, who support us, who are connected to us,
and who are invested in us. It was the black
community that made Honeypot what it is. Yeah, black lass sucks, though,

(01:24:22):
I call it blacklash because when you're a black person,
black owned company, and you know the struggles you've had
to go through as a black entrepreneur and how hard
you fight for us, and now you're getting black lash
from your own people about not being black enough or
selling out, Oh my god, Yeah, it's hard. And I
said when you posted the whole explanation, right, but I
feel like people did not go back and refer to that.

(01:24:44):
They just kind of like ran with it because you
went there, you sat down, you even wrote it out
because you were like, I do not want to mess
this up or say anything wrong, and you wanted to
make sure people understood everything that was going on. But
it just feels like people never picked that up the
way that they pick up the people pick up what
they want, sister, Some people don't want to understand. And

(01:25:05):
you know, if you want to understand, then then we've
got something for you, right. We have we have the education,
we have the chemists, we have you know, we have
the clinical trials. We've got the stuff. Right, that's not
even a question. But some people that's not really what
they want. And we cannot serve those people. And for

(01:25:25):
everybody else who understands, who has empathy with us, just
the way that we have empathy with them, then we
can transact together. We can love each other, we can
continue this relationship, and if if there was any misstep
or if there's any trust that we have to build back,
we're here for that because we're committed. We don't do

(01:25:46):
this because we're just trying to make money. The money
is just a bystander. We do this because we love
humanity and because We want to help humans think about
their vaginas and experience their vaginas and their traumas around it.
And the way that the world has taught us about
the giants. We want to be able to change that.
And we have let's talk about the future. What's what's

(01:26:08):
next for the honeypot. What are some products that we
should be looking out for you? And I mean, yeah,
it's in the pipeline actually in the future. Yeah, you know,
but we just launched a new anti itch line. I
was thinking that, Yeah, because it's getting hot out, guys
get the bat wings and that's what. No, no, but

(01:26:36):
it works. But we just launched an anti itch line.
It comes in a cream, spray, a wipe, and then
we have an anti itch wash. But the spray, the cream,
and the white are actually OTC right, so they actually
have pharmaceuticals in them. You know. The cream has hydrocortisone,
the other ones have promoxine. But then the inactive ingredients
are really beautiful botanical plant derived ingredients. Um, you know,

(01:27:02):
we just launched some some really beautiful lubricants. The other
thing that we just launched this year, which is at target,
is our supplement line. So we have one called Yeast Balance,
So that's for the person who has reoccurring yeast infections.
This has beautiful ingredients like garlic and powder our COO.
So we have our external products that you can use,
but then if you're taking this by mouth, then it's

(01:27:24):
kind of working from the inside out and helps you
to be proactive. We have a probiotic that you can
actually partner with that um and then we just launched
a product for a cranberry supplement as well, which is
really great for helping with UTIs And we can actually
say that now, you know. So, yeah, We've got a
lot of really cool stuff. We just launched a burg

(01:27:45):
of my roles washwipe and spray. Yeah. So we we're
continuing to just do our work, keep our head down,
you know, and just continuing to focus on our brand
and how we want to continue to serve. The website
so yeah, and yes, and the website is the website
is the honeypot dot com. The whole Instagram is the

(01:28:07):
Honeypot co. Yes, Twitter, Twitter, the Honeycock comp and see it.
And so all my wife and my daughter's swimming in
products are Honeypot. Yeah they swear, But can I send
you a box. Yes, we support all the time. It's
done it up with the pads, with the honeypot pads

(01:28:29):
and yeah, yeah, I think it's important. We care about
our vaginas so much. We do our vaginas and our volts,
our friends. Man, the honeypot is still black owned. Yes,
that's the biggest takeaway from the whole conversation. The ingredients
are still plant derived, Yes they are. Thank you for
coming to clearing up. I really am glad. You know,
we reported on the story, we played what you said

(01:28:50):
on Instagram. Did absolutely Oh that was so nice. Thank
you guy. I had a whole discussion about supply chain
and issues that we've been having, even like with my juices,
I wasn't able to make any for so long, so
I completely understand how difficult this been. So we appreciate
you for coming here. I know it was a I
saw you like having posted since then, I'm like, she
must have hoped right back off Instagram and social media.

(01:29:14):
You got that you got to the state vibreed on
a high level. YEA yeah, because I'll be like, man,
gout of here. You ain't never opened up a lemonade. Stand,
y'all don't understand business. Shut up. Well, Desiree Simon Beatrice,
appreciate y'all. We will keep supporting the Honeypot. Thank you.

(01:29:37):
You can't wait for these men's products ahead, Yeah, they
need them because some guys, especially if you're not circumcising
this magmah my god, it's you can use the feminine
wipes on your s magma. Yeah, okay, you can't. I
love the word. I'm circumcised, Simon. I don't know why circumcised. Okay,

(01:30:00):
everybody the honey part. It's the Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club. Hey,
if the world more dangers want to show the Breakfast Club.
Charlomagne and God Angela Yee dj Enva is off today
and it's time for Rumor Report. Let's talk about Candy
Bursts the team. This is the Rumor Report with Angela

(01:30:27):
Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well, Candy Burst
and Tide Tucker are producing our Broadway show. And that
Broadway show does star Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington,
and Danielle Brooks. So performances are set to begin Monday,
September nineteenth, and that's on Broadway. You know what a
big deal that is. That's huge. You got Samuel Jackson

(01:30:48):
The Piano Lesson, And so they said, we couldn't be
more honored and excited to join the producing team of
August Wilson's The Piano Lesson. As we continue to push
to diversify the Broadway audience, this all star team and
cast is a dream I'm true for our next venture
on Broadway. Okay, okay, I like that now, you know.
She was also one of the producers for Thoughts of
a Colored Man that premiered in October of twenty twenty one.

(01:31:10):
It was the play. That play was the first ever
to start all black men, and it was also written, directed,
and produced by an all black crew. Wow to Candy
and Todd. Yeah, and if you watch The Real Housewives
at Atlanta, you can see them, you know, talking about
the play coming to New York and all of that. So, yeah,
I think that's dope. But you know what some people

(01:31:30):
were mad about. On one of the episodes, she wanted
her castmates to try out vibrating underwear when they came
to New York City. I saw that. That's a real thing.
I don't know if I saw that on that show,
but I saw something with somebody who had to remote control,
and they were doing that to people that real, Yeah
you want me to get you something? No, I'm cool

(01:31:50):
on the vibrating Yeah, that's been a thing. I felt
like vibrating panties have been around forever. That would be descracted,
wouldn't it, though? That's the point, Charlottamagne suposed to feel regular,
like a normal day. You're not supposed to be having
all gatherms inny and everywhelle. Whynot? Why why would you
want to? I guess it's something private with your partner,
like they have the remote and maybe you're at dinner

(01:32:11):
and then you're like when you leave a mess on
the seat, who folds that? A right? Clean this up?
And Laurie Harvey has deleted all photos of Michael B.
Jordan from her instagram. You guys really reacted to that.
Lord have mercy? How do you do that to kill mongol?

(01:32:33):
Oh my gosh. So he does still have his photos
and videos up. It ain't mine. We really don't know
what happened behind. This ain't funny, man, it's not funny.
But God, Laurie, don't be playing she archived them or deleted,
because if you're archived, there's a chance you could come back,

(01:32:54):
but if it's deleted, there's no coming back from that.
You think she hit him with the You know, people
come in your life for reasons, seasons in lifetimes, so
that was just a season. It's clearly just a couple
of seasons. Let me see, because you know, there's a
big difference between archiving and deleting. Lord have Mercy, Laurie Boy.
Laurie read two posts up. Laurie really read all Steve

(01:33:14):
Harvey books. Bro Alright and Black Thought has been honored
with a mural in Philadelphia, and so they reveal that
on Thursday, and it's on the side of the Clay Studio.
It's a nonprofit art galley that showcases local art. Is
really dope. So if you want to take a look
at it, um you know it's you can look at
the Clay Studio Phi on their Instagram page if you

(01:33:37):
want to see what that looks like. But he told
the Philly Voice, this is huge for me to go
from scaling buildings to get a little bit of rep
and tag my name somewhere that may never be seen,
to having my face plastered on the side of this
four story building. It's pretty amazing. That's the stuff of
legends to the black thought all right. And last, but
not least, Fetti Wapp was trying to enjoy some time

(01:33:58):
on the beach and he got pranked by a comedian.
So imagine this happens to you, my shorty over that.
Then why you running up on me like you gangs
like you see the goals and I'm not on the street.
That means I'll beat your eyes by accident, by accident
fights look like you. I love you better accident, right,

(01:34:20):
I don't how to fight. I'm I'm a comedian. I
don't care about that. You just walk back on you.
I'm sorry, brother, I'm so sorry. Bro. Ain't that's all
you have to say? No, be good now, I'm good.
But I didn't know. I don't want no problems, bro, bro.
We gotta understand by myself. I know, I know, I know.
I don't beat my hat like what I like. I

(01:34:40):
don't play like that. I'm sorry, brother, but things that
almost went left there. They got to stop that man,
like you know what I mean. Understand comedians trying to
get content for social media, but you can't be playing
with black men like that. Not right and not anybody
like you can't play with nobody like that. But I'm
telling you, man, the things that go through black men's mind,

(01:35:02):
especially somebody like Fattie wopp a rapper. You know you're
watching all of these rappers get killed, like you know
you don't do that, man, Don't do that. You're watching
all of these rappers get killed for nonsense, rappers be
getting robbed, like, don't do that, man, because you're gonna
end up getting hurt in a real way. Stop playing.
I'll play so damn much. And when somebody shoot, you
want somebody to have stag your name. I just want
to say, Michael B. Jordan does still have his pictures

(01:35:24):
up A Laurie Harvey. Laurie wants turtle, Michael Laurie wants
those down. I don't know what happened with Michael Jordan Harvey.
I think y'all doing this just to get white women
excited for the summer. Man, he has one picture. He's
a picture of her. It just says I love her, wow,
And she took it on. Man. It's making me feel

(01:35:44):
like he might have did something. If Michael runs back
to white women and never comes back, it's Laurie Harvey's fault.
You hit me. Oh my god, I feel bad. Man
smoothing Mike Man in positive energy, love and light and
healing energy to Michael B. Jordan and Laurie Harvey. Jesus Christ.

(01:36:10):
What if Laurie come out with a book called Act Like,
Think Like? Okay, if she comes out with a book
like treat him like a bitch. No, you can't act
like a lady. Treat him like a bitch. The new
book by Laurie Harvey with a forward from Steve Harvey
and I don't you just mean that in general? Lord, man, Michael,

(01:36:38):
just man, listen. This wouldn't be his book, wouldn't just
be about Michael. Laurie Harvey is a g. I haven't
seen a woman this g in a long time. I
ain't seen too many men this g in a long time.
I'd be heartbroken, though I can't tell. I don't know.
I'm just like, it's just grist for the mill girl.

(01:37:01):
All right? Well, so funny? Why? I think because it's Steve.
Because the fact that Steve is making jokes about it
what makes it so funny. Man, That's what makes me
think that it's more to it. Because I don't think
he would make jokes like that about you know. And
just the way Michael looked at the game. I don't
even know if he was sad or not. I just
thought he looks at everybody else that he looks at

(01:37:21):
I know, he said another Michael Jordan crying, mean, all right,
well that is this shouldn't be funny, but it is.
What are we doing? Do we send healing energy to
Michael and Laurie. We're gonna get into the people's choices. Okay,
people choice me right now with DJ Yes, he's not.
He was on his page. That's how you really know

(01:37:41):
what's going on in people's lives. You can dictate everything.
It's the breakfast Club. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will
