I appreciate you talking about mental hers because I supposed

what's up with trying your white pants and all that food?
Tell my about Curt Togain.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
What does Dominicans wearing white jeans got to do with
mental health?

Speaker 5 (02:00):
No? No, I was saying that when I called you
a one time. You was talking to me about that,
and I told you I would go through mental health problems.
And I appreciate you talking about it because I got
out the military, yes, and I didn't know how to
deal with it, and I went in a depression, and
listening to your show every day and made me open
my mind and seeking like I went to the VA.
You know they told me here aside catcher, I even

(02:20):
got hospitalized and everything. But I want to appreciate you
for talking about it because I know for us, especially
Spanish people and black people, we don't believe in that.
I know I did this so talking about you and.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I said, yes, sir, yes, sir.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Even though you told me you was gonna help me,
and then you change your number, I couldn't even get
in touch with you. But I appreciate that though, because
I'm where I'm at right now because you opened my mind.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, what you need me to do, brother, I'm gonna
get your email right now. I'm if you need me
to connect you with some people, I connect you with
some people.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I did change mine.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
I'm good now.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I'm good now.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'm good now because I went through it. Like I said,
I got my own therapy. Now like im throughing all
that stuff, and the VA played for it. But because
of that, like I'm one hundred percent to say with right,
so my kids go to school for college for free
and all that stuff and all that, I thank you
because sometimes I feel like God po people in somebody's life.
Even to give you a hint and listening to you

(03:12):
every day. After you got on my nerve about it,
I kind of open my mind.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
You know what I'm saying, Hello, pace paces the nets
coming from U a brof you all.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Get it off your chest, pace Pacey.

Speaker 7 (03:25):
I wanted to get off the fact that we can
change the course of the way these young black men
are doing things nowadays. Bro. Like they're killing each other
like there's no return. I mean, and I'm really thinking
about it, bro. These mothers are suffering, bro losing their
children on the daily bro. Like it's crazy. We're in
the war with ourselves. The music industry is delaying a

(03:48):
bad message to our communities. And I just wanted to
give a message out to the women out there that's
that's that's singlely taking care of their their young boys,
get to know their get to know their friends, and
it'd be more act in their schools and stuff. Like that.
You just just just to know what's going on in
your son's head can change the course of everything.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I agree with you. The only thing I disagree with
is the music industry because art is a reflection of
life and there's a lot of societal issues that we
got to deal with before we start blaming the music constry.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
But you know that it has.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
But listen, listen, the music industry is influencing our community
so crazy to the fact that everybody want to be
gang gang, everybody want to shoot shoot.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think I think the music industry is influenced by
the community, you know what I mean, Like it starts,
It starts way deeper before somebody gets in the studio
and records the record.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
No, I agree, but something to what he says.

Speaker 8 (04:40):
You got a lot of people that are not about
that life, that rap about that life because they think
it's it's you know, it'll make them.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Successful, It glamorizes it, it makes them popular.

Speaker 8 (04:49):
Because you got a lot of these kids that ain't
never shoot nobody, no gang, but when they see their
favorite rapper do it, they do it.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah. Oh I agree, But I think they learn a
lot of that just in the street. Like you know
what I mean. I just think it's a lot of
societal issues we got to deal before we start blaming
artists and record lague.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
I wouldn't blame the record industry, but I would.

Speaker 8 (05:04):
I would definitely say it's these kids are heavily influenced
by a lot of the industry.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Hello, what's this? He was like this, swan, swan, whatever,
get it off your cheste.

Speaker 9 (05:12):
I just learned to get my chest that I'm really
happy that I'm not working and whatnot. It's been kind
of slow for a little while. I got out a
prison in twentyd and nine, and man, the world is
not very time to expelling. I work at that construction company.

Speaker 2 (05:28):

Speaker 9 (05:33):
Can I shout up? My fun was still in prison,
of course, man, James Manuel flipped roll with something. Keep
your head tight, man, anybody up there want to write
a fella? His number is twelve ninety nine thirty one,
James Manuel. Man, hit my dogs up. Man, he it's
lonely in there.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, but you can't be telling that man keep his
head tight while he's still in prison. Man, Come on, now,
you have to keep your head on whoa not keep
your head.

Speaker 9 (05:58):
That homework that man. Yeah, man, it's the world. It's
hard on people who got out of prison. Man, tell
you that they like reabilitating you and get you ready
for society, but really that's not what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's right. It's not a correctional facility at all. I
don't even know why they call it a correctional facility
because they're not trying to correct nothing. That's right.

Speaker 8 (06:18):
Get it off your chest eight undrink five A five

Speaker 11 (06:58):
Last night at work, I work at a hotel and
they had a conference for flat Earth people real quick.
I was in the military for ten years two four
to twenty fourteen, drove submarines for the Navy. I want
everybody that's listening to me to hear me clear. The
world is not flack. I've been around the world six times.
I never fell off one. Also, space is real. I've

(07:19):
seen Tomahawk missiles go into space for around the world
come back down. Also, we're sending one hundred billion dollars
overseas because it's strategic that we cannot let them take
over certain plant areas. So if they do in the
long term, it's going to affect America. So I know
it sucks, and I wish I had an answer to
home with people when while we always spending all that money,

(07:40):
but we gotta overseas because if they get that oil,
get that gas, it's a wrap. I just want to
matter earth the word they flack, just stop it.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, you're not wrong about nothing you said. And it's
a damn shame that those things had to be said.
It's a damn shame that in twenty twenty four you
have to tell people that the world is not flat.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't talk to flat Earth.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
No, I don't talk. I got a couple of flat
earths in my life who I love genuinely and deally.
You know what I'm saying, and I don't. I don't
judge them for what they believe. But if they weren't
my family, I wouldn't talk to them. I don't talk
to flatter Earth. Hello, who's this?

the Godess Janelle Monet.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Hi, welcome, Hello.

Speaker 14 (10:33):
The Age of Pleasure, Yes, album comes out today.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
There you go.

Speaker 15 (10:38):
That's what we're in babies.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Why did you call it the Age of Pleasure?

Speaker 15 (10:41):
Well, you know, I've had my age of anxiety.

Speaker 14 (10:44):
I've had my age of depression, I had my age
of confusion, of imbalance, and you know, just realizing that
we'll never live in a world where you know, something
heavy won't be happening. You know, always problems will have
to solve, and even in the midst of that, you
have to find your joy. You have to actively find

(11:06):
your pleasure and in the words of Mauri's White from Earth,
Wind and Fire, if there ain't no beauty, make some beauty.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
First of all, I want to congratulate you on having
a phenomenal body of work. And everything you just said
is exactly what I felt when I was listening to
the album. It's almost like the mentality is like Hakuna Matada,
like it's no stress over things, no need to have worries.
Let's just live in an age of pleasure. How did
you get there? Though?

Speaker 15 (11:31):
Ooh?

Speaker 14 (11:31):
How did I get there? I mean, I think life,
you know, and I'm still you know, still on a
journey as we all are. But I think I got
locked in with me, you know. And I think a
lot of times we look at it, especially as artists,
and things come to us and sometimes they don't, and
we look at things as like, oh, we failed or
we should be working much harder. We our happiness is

(11:54):
dependent on things that come to us, you know, good things,
great things. But internally I had to get locked in
with me. I had to get really locked in with
me and reprogramming my mind and exercising them muscle to
be yeah, to get to a point where my inner
voice what I was telling myself, all those things, the affirmations,

(12:17):
all of it just rewired.

Speaker 15 (12:20):
I'm rewired right now. I feel like I'm on my
third life right now.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (12:24):
Now you mentioned, you know, you have the age of depression,
the age of anxiety, the age of all those things.
You know, what got you out of those places? Was
it therapy? Was it just taking a break? Was it friends,
was it meditating? Was it you know, whatever, it may
be writing your book at the time. What got you
out of that anxiety and depression and some of those

(12:44):
negative places that you said.

Speaker 14 (12:46):
Yeah, having to go back to the root, the root
of trauma. Usually when you're triggered by something, it's deeper,
you know. And I feel like everybody should have free therapy,
Like it should be free for everybody. We should be
paying therapists more. We should be paying teachers more, nurses
can go on and on and on. But I think
when it comes to mental health, being able to understand

(13:10):
why we're sort of going through life feeling sick mentally
or feeling like we're in a loop. I just remember
being in a loop a lot and making the same
stories up in my mind about things, and I got
an emotional support coach who is a friend and who

(13:33):
also like does amazing work, and she said, you're dealing
with some abandonment rejection issues.

Speaker 15 (13:40):
I want you to.

Speaker 14 (13:40):
Write down when you were little, Janelle, the first time
is somebody didn't show up for you. The first time
you felt let down, like write all these things down.
And I had to go back. And I think also,
you know, being in the pandemic, a lot of things
got canceled for me, so I had no choice but
to sort of, you know, stay home. And I had
a unique opportunity to go inward and to heal those

(14:03):
things and have and do all the work the dark
stuffy by myself, right, you know. So I think it's
a combination of that and then friends too, you know.
I just remember being out with friends, and so much
of my life I was always thinking about the future.
I was like, what's next, you know, just how like
when you had when you're a entrepreneur. You know, I

(14:26):
started out as an indie artist, so I always had
to sort of be the leader, you know. I'm like,
I can't afford to mess up, you know. And when
I would be our friends, I wouldn't be present, And
so I also had an opportunity to reconnect with my
friends and have them hold me accountable, like, yo, we here,

(14:48):
we're here, We're here, Like stay here with us, we
love you, Like everything is gonna be good, you can relax.

Speaker 15 (14:55):
And I felt safe there. I found a safe space.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I just want to ask one thing about you, Sai.
Abandonment issues.

Speaker 8 (15:01):
Right, how did you feel or what made you feel
that way? And the reason I asked is right, I
have six kids that have four daughters. Right, one of
my biggest fears is not to show up but something
that I might think is small that might mean the
world to them, you know, because you know, we are
in the industry where we do travel, we are on
the road, so you know, I'm just what bothered you
so much about abandonment? Was it something big, like, you know,

(15:23):
something that happening on Christmas? Or was it something like
I have my talent show and this person didn't come
and it made me feel a way?

Speaker 1 (15:28):
So what was the abandonment issue? Well?

Speaker 14 (15:32):
I think a lot of it and I've spoken about
this a lot, but so if you are watching right
now and you know me, but my father was an addict,
so him being sort of inconsistent in.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
My life and.

Speaker 14 (15:46):
Having to sort of navigate and if you've had family
close to you or a parent and as an addict,
then you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 16 (15:56):
You know.

Speaker 14 (15:59):
That our relationship a lot of times was like where
I felt most abandoned and thank God, like he's clean,
he's sober. Now we're best friends, he's written a book,
he's like amazing.

Speaker 15 (16:11):
But I think that inconsistency.

Speaker 14 (16:14):
And I didn't know that because I was like, I
have my mom, I have all my aunties, I have
so much love around me. But just those moments of
just like you're showing you're not here, you're here now
you're in prison, You're not like okay, all right, really
inconsistent and that was like one of the first things

(16:34):
I think that when I started to write down things
that bothered, that affected me more than I knew.

Speaker 8 (16:39):
Yeah, all right, we got more with Janail Money. When
we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning,
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Morning.

Speaker 8 (16:49):
Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy we are to
Breakfast Club. He's still kicking it with Janail monehi album
is out today, The Age of Pleasure.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Charlomagne, you said someone now My thought was dope. You
said I forgot what song it was when you said
you're no longer lead with ego, and I wanted to
ask you, what do you think the difference between ego
and confidences?

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Ooh what song was that?

Speaker 14 (17:11):
By the way, that was an Eyes for two. I've
told you all this since I came out, you know,
being an android. I'm ahead and I've been ahead, and
I've been trying to get It's like I'm actually back
having fun because I'm too far ahead. Yeah, I think ego,

(17:31):
oh m, I just believe in balance and all things.
And I think that there's an unhealthy version of ego
that like it doesn't allow you to have that vulnerability.
It doesn't allow you to really really connect on a
vulnerable level that is powerful, Like if you're sharing your
feelings and.

Speaker 15 (17:51):
It blocks that.

Speaker 14 (17:52):
It blocks you from really sharing your feelings and saying, hey,
I'm hurt or I need help or I was wrong.
It stops us from apologizing, It stops us from being
held accountable. It blocks our growth. You know, if it's unhealthy.
I think being confident, I mean it's balancing all things.

(18:12):
You can be confident, overly confident about being a beginner.
I always say this, like, don't be afraid to be
a beginner. I think that the conflict happens when you
think you know more than you do and you're in
fact a beginner, and you sold yourself that dream that
I know what I'm doing, I got it together, and

(18:34):
in fact you don't.

Speaker 8 (18:34):
When you say beginning, is it you meaning starting over
or trying something new to try?

Speaker 14 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like and not even just acting or
something like that. But like if you ain't studied, you
may not ace the test, you know what I'm saying, Like,
being confident without doing the work is not it? Like
you can be confident though if I know I practiced,
I show I've shown I've done the work to get
my performance together, Like I know I'm gonna go on

(19:01):
this stage and I'm gonna kill it like that, Like
that's a different level thing because you've done the work.
But when you actually don't even have the experience and
you're confident for no reason, I mean, sometimes it can work.
You can pull So I don't know, I needed you
know what. I think I'm prematurely answering this question. This
is a really good question. I'll think about it.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
I can't wait to hear an answer. I only have
eyes for two is a very system I think destroying record.
You know people are you should only have eyes for one.

Speaker 15 (19:31):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
I love it. I want people to hear it.

Speaker 15 (19:34):
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
That's sounding joint like it's the second and last year.

Speaker 15 (19:41):
I love it. It's so pretty.

Speaker 14 (19:43):
I remember when I was recording it and just wanting
wanting people to like. I imagine everybody like whining whining
to it, and you're meeting somebody that night at the party.
That's the that's the part of the party where two complete,
three complete strangers are just like super open the director.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I don't know if I can love it so much
in front of my wife what she was going to
say about it, that's all?

Speaker 15 (20:07):
Did she listen to it?

Speaker 16 (20:08):
Not because I got it?

Speaker 15 (20:10):
Okay?

Speaker 14 (20:10):
I mean, can we get into these collaborations. Who is
just phenomenal? We have a song called phenomenal together. I
love her al Maray on the rush Nia Long, who
has always been my crush. One of the reasons why
what I got confident though, and in just being like
I'm about to free free the nipples because Along told

(20:31):
me I had.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Pretty That's the reason why.

Speaker 14 (20:35):
So that's it, that's it, Like, tell me, what are
you going to say? Like that's the confidence I needed.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I didn't.

Speaker 15 (20:45):
I was like, Oh, that's it, that's it.

Speaker 14 (20:48):
Because she came to the house and we were recording
our song the Rush together, and I showed her some
of the press photos and she was like, oh, no,
you need to go with that photo.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
The water. Yeah.

Speaker 15 (20:59):
She was like, that's it. You got some pretty go
ahead and that's not even watching an interview, and I
want to rewind you.

Speaker 14 (21:08):
I don't need any more affirmation. And then Grace Jones,
who also was on the project, came over. This is
who I was hanging out with when I was making
the record. I showed her stuff. She was like, go, baby,
do it, do it?

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Do it?

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Do it done?

Speaker 14 (21:23):
Like that that is the level of just that's the
affirmation that I need. Like she's been a free asthma,
you know, like she she's done this, you know, in
her own way. So she's been an inspiration for me
and I'm so happy she's on the project.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
All Right, well, we appreciate you for joining us. Anytime
you in town, you know, you can come on up.
And yes, this is a safe space for you. So
whatever you want to come, we love you and appreciate that.

Speaker 15 (21:47):
I appreciate y'all. Thank you so much, and happy pride,
I must say. And let me ask you a question.

Speaker 14 (21:53):
How are you guys showing up for as allies for
the LGBTQUI plus community.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
If you listen to this show every day, you would
know they call us husbandsands gay husband. I love it
every day.

Speaker 15 (22:12):
Well, that's good. I love it gusbands. That's really cute.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Tell us we're pushing an agenda all the time. That's
what they tell us.

Speaker 15 (22:19):
Yes, wow, okay, that's what I guess.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
That's what it's called when you just embrace it everything.

Speaker 14 (22:25):
It's so interesting how people think like being gay, or
being friends, or being non binary, being queer.

Speaker 15 (22:31):
Like it's on some new like we just made up.
That's the thing.

Speaker 14 (22:34):
You just got to be patient people. They have to
they have to educate themselves, and there's so much information
out here. Get educated, you know.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I feel like what we what we describe to do
here is create spaces for all black voices. And what
I realized is regardless of who comes up here like
it can be you know. Jason Lee b. Scott playing
when roll Lebron whoever it is, if they're from the
l g B t Q I a community, somebody is
going to have criticism, you know, yeah, and so that's

(23:03):
just what it is. I use your privilege to combat prejudice.

Speaker 15 (23:06):
Absolutely well.

Speaker 16 (23:09):
Right now.

Speaker 14 (23:11):
And I'm not shaving my underarms. I've seen the comments.
They will not be shaved. You will get into it.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Is there a reason why?

Speaker 15 (23:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
I just felt like saying that, Okay, okay, it's a
breakfast cloth. Good morning everybody, and Charlamagne the guy. We
are the breakfast club.

Speaker 8 (23:29):
If you're just joining us, we're talking about something that
came out of Charlamagne's Donkey course.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well, yeah, we were talking about this guy who pulled
a gun on another guy. I don't know if it
was like another guy a girl, but pulled a gun
on the person because the person was about to spoil
Top Gun the movie for him, which got us talking
about you know, when you're binge watching something with your
significant other.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
I feel like the rules for binge watching are if
you and a person start a series together, right, you
and your significant other starter series together, y'all cannot watch
episodes without each other. If you start together, you got
to finish together. But Envy says that if a person
falls asleep, if you are your significant other falls asleep
while watching, then the person has to stop the movie

(24:15):
or stop the TV show.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Hell no, yes, no, yes, no, it's like just like
Game of Thrones. Right. Game of Thrones is something me
and my wife love.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Right.

Speaker 8 (24:23):
We caught on to it a little late, but we
watched like three four episodes right at nighttime. We would
go to sleep at midnight one am. Problem is I
got to get up at four o'clock to do the
breakfast club. So if I fall asleep, that's your dumbass. No,
she would pause it and then we would continue the
next night when I got back home.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
You fall asleep, then when you get free time, you
catch up.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I ain't got no free time.

Speaker 8 (24:43):
We got six kids. There's no free time. When we
go to stupid night, we start watching the game.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
No, nobody does that.

Speaker 8 (24:49):
If the White Walkers came and my wife found out
that the White Walkers came before me, there'll be a
prime in the house. No, if the Dragon came and
my wife knew the dragon came before me, it is gonna.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Be a problem.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
By the way, this is the most This is so selfish.
It is so selfish in you to know that you're
about to be tired. You know you're tired.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
I'm so when you start, when you start watching the show,
you start watching the show knowing you're tired, and then
you fall asleep, and now your wife, who also has
six kids, who's with the kids majority of the time,
has to pause it and can't have her moment of
joy and pleasure.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
I don't know. I'm tired.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
When I'm tired, I just fall asleep. And there's so
many other things that she will watch that I don't
want to watch. The Bachelor, The Bachelor, Red, the Golden Bachelor,
the Housewives of Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Manhattan, Oh Seed, And we'll tell you all these other
shows that she could watch.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
She can speak for gear. But I don't think she
likes this. I don't think she likes this. I don't
I don't think she likes this.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
She gets a little tight.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Don't want to see this. Don't wait ten years to
find out that she don't like this. Okay, I'm just saying,
we read your book. Don't wait ten years to find
out that she really don't like this and she's been
faking it the whole time.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Shut up?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Goodness?

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Hello, who's this?

Speaker 5 (26:00):
That's her chaulfriend Jersey?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
How you doing?

Speaker 16 (26:02):
HER's?

Speaker 7 (26:02):
What up?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
What's going on? Brother?

Speaker 5 (26:04):

Speaker 2 (26:04):
All right?

Speaker 8 (26:05):
How are you you watching a flick with your wife
or your wife or you or your man, whatever it is,
and that person falls asleep?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
What do you do herschel?

Speaker 11 (26:13):
I'm pausing it?

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Wow, invested waiting for her, I'm putting it off the
pause and we watched her together, unless I'm mad at her.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
If I'm mad at her, I'm gonna let it play out.
If you have to rewatch without me or hirsht. You've
never done that in your life. Nobody does that?

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Said, he does that?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's not a thing.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
No, it's not that. No, I don't believe you.

Speaker 12 (26:33):
You know how many episodes of the Walking there she missed?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
What do you mean my wife missed so many episodes
of the Walking? Then you gotta go back.

Speaker 11 (26:38):
Three or four episodes to rewatch because she fell asleep.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
But that's on her. No, you gotta go back and
watch that on her time.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Now he pauses that. Now what Herschel said, is absolutely true.
If me and the wife is are you and I
act like I won't see see her sleeping, and I'll
let it go. But if we are good, no, I
pause it and I wait for.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
The next day.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Nobody does this, Bro, This ain't real. Hello?

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Who's this?

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:58):
This Chemo? What what's up? Brother Jesus Christ? Chemo?

Speaker 7 (27:02):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Man?

Speaker 8 (27:06):
You and your girl Keemo watching something to flick a series?
She falls asleep?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
You pausing it?

Speaker 6 (27:11):
I mean, if I notice that she is asleep, I'm
definitely gonna positive you know what I'm saying. And if
I don't notice that, I'm I'm gonna rewatch it when
you get up.

Speaker 8 (27:18):
See, so you're gonna pause it because you're gonna show
a little respect because y'all.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Y'all, y'all both in on the on the series, correct.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
I mean, of course, if y'all invested in something, man,
y'all gotta do it together. Man, if especially y'all started together.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Can I ask you a question? Has this ever happened
to you?

Speaker 6 (27:31):
One hundred percent? Like I mean, I've definitely been on
the on the on the receiving and of it. I've
been the one to fall asleep and be like, damn
you watch it without me?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
You be like, yeah, because you fell asleep. No, that's
not right, but that but.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
But it's not it's still not right.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
It's principles.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
You know what I'm saying. It's principal to it.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Like, you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I disagree. Hello, who's this?

Speaker 8 (27:53):
Hey Joanna from Astown? Now you and your man or
you and your girl whatever, you're into a watch and
all flick? Yes, so you been falls asleep? Now is
something that you're into? Game of Thrones or whatever it
may be. You're both excited. He falls asleep?

Speaker 1 (28:06):
What you're doing? I'd be like, hey, babe, you're awake?

Speaker 8 (28:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm awake.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
All right, here some more time.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
A couple moments.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
So you're watching it without him? That's what it sounds like.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
Yep, you snooze, you lose.

Speaker 12 (28:16):
I'm continuing to watch it.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
And by the way, I want you to know. You
the first woman to call it here and uh, you know,
like like most things in life, it's the women with
the sense because all the men is lying talking about
they gonna pause the movie and watch it later. No,
you're not. Nobody does that.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yes, Hey, Donald, good morning. You call it from Houston, Texas.
Sound another age town on the line. All right, so
you and your man y'all.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Watching the series. You were super duper excited. I've been
talking about it. He falls asleep, you pause it for him, right.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
I paused this for him just to be like, are
you asleep?

Speaker 7 (28:46):
Asleep?

Speaker 6 (28:47):
And then when I find out he's actually asleep, I'm
keeping them going.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
That's right.

Speaker 14 (28:51):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
By the way, once again, this is why women should
be in control of everything, because y'all got good old
fashioned common sense. Nobody is pars men do things that
sound good. Nobody does that in real life. I'm gonna
pause it and I'm gonna wait till my wife wakes up.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
No, you're not.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Nobody doesn't.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
You would never. You would never.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Nobody's does that. And by the way, that happens to
me all the time. That just happened to me this weekend.
Fell asleep. We watching, you know, and guess what we
was watching? Harlem Nights.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
That something different? You have seen thirteen.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
It's no because I'm we rewatch movies sometimes because you
get a different You've seen Hall Them Knights before. It's
not the first time, forty five year old eyes and understanding.
So it's a different ballgame. But guess what, I fell
asleep and I didn't wake up upset. I actually I
expect that to happen at this point in my life.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
You've seen Hall of Nights thirteen thousand times.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
This happened to Mess, This happened to me with movies.
I've never seen.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Shoot You in the Piccato yet.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Like the first time we watched Dayclone Tyrone, I fell
asleep and when I woke up my wife we was
talking about how good it was. Guess what I did?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
I just watched.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
We watched it again the next night.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Alex, good morning, Yo?

Speaker 2 (29:54):
What up?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Alex? What are you call it?

Speaker 5 (29:56):
From Wisconsin?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (29:58):
Wisconsin? Now, h you watching a movie with your significant other?
They fall asleep pausing it or you're gonna keep watching.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
I mean, it depends on the situation. Because sometimes my
said be falling asleep mid episode, and I just continue
watching that episode.

Speaker 12 (30:12):
But I'll turn it off after that episode.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
And then I'll wait, I'll turn it off after that episode.

Speaker 8 (30:18):
As you should watch the one episode and then the
rest you'll catch up later with them exactly.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
And then there's the top way.

Speaker 12 (30:24):
We both watch it together and all that's surprised, like
I didn't.

Speaker 9 (30:27):
Watch it last night.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Don't do that out?

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Hello, who's this?

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (30:34):
What what's up? Brother?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Now?

Speaker 8 (30:36):
You watch it afflick with wifey? She falls asleep? You
stopping it and go wait till tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Or what you doing?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
No, it's just pretty much just like if you go
out to a movie. You can't ready to go to
the movie. If you sleep in the movie here.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Then it's yeah, what you're gonna do? Walk out the movie? Hey, baby,
you sleeping? Let's leave the movie?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Theater is different. This is the two You can't pause
the movie theater.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
Yeah, you can't pause the movie, but why are you
expected the movie?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I agree with you wholeheartedly. And the two women who
called up here make the most sense because they said
you paused to say baby, you up and we all
lie and be like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, why do
men do that?

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Lie with you? I ain't sleeping. I'm just resting my
eyes for a second. I'm just dozing. No, I'm sleeping. Hello, Donnie, yo, yo, Donnie?

Speaker 16 (31:19):
What up?

Speaker 7 (31:20):
Now?

Speaker 1 (31:20):
You're watching a flick with wifey?

Speaker 16 (31:21):
Right?

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (31:22):
She falls asleep now? It's a flick that y'all both
love could be. What's what's the flick, y'all both love?

Speaker 5 (31:27):
I'm gonna have to tell you I am legend.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Okay, all right, all right, but y'all seen it? All right?

Speaker 8 (31:34):
Well, all right, we're going I am legend. I'm sure
y'all seen it already. But the movie you know your wife,
he falls asleep?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Do you pause this? Say, let's finish it the ball.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
I ain't gonna hold y'all.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
It's over for bro, She's gonna have to catch up.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
That's right. I don't know who these people are lying.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, this this is my thing. It's like, let's say
we go to the movie. Oh boy, I fall asleep
in the movie theater. Are we gonna go back and
watch it again?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
You can't pause the movie in a movie theater.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
You can't, right, It's to me, it's the same concept
if you fall asleep because whip I wake you up
and you fall asleep.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Agin, I'm gonna keep waking you up. That's right. Now
you're messing up. Now, you're messing up my movie experience.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Oh boy, all right, thank you, brother. What's the marrow
of the story?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Charlamagne the marvel of the story is y'all gotta stop
lying about stupid stuff. Don't nobody pause? No damn movie
when they're significant other falls asleep and stops watching it
and watching it wat start watching it again when they
wake up. Nobody does that. We do that in my house.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
No, you don't.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
That's never happened. I don't believe you.

Speaker 8 (32:34):
All right, Well gets the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Morning. Everybody's DJ MV Charlamagne the guy.

Speaker 8 (32:43):
We are the Breakfast Club, Laura La Rosa, our special
guest host is here, and we got a special guest
in the building, my.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Good brother partisan Fontaine.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Party said, Party, thank y'all.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
For having me. How you feeling this morning?

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Man?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
You put out sex tape. I'm always on you about
putting music out.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
You never do.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
You finally give us this. I guess you call it
the EP sex tape. And it feels like, at least
the first half of it is about you being broken hard.
It feels like that, So it feels what inspired that.

Speaker 16 (33:13):
It's really like, it's a bunch of records that I've
made over Tom, you know what I'm saying, and just
put together. That was our whole process of just wanting
to get something out and I've been trying to perfect
it and waiting for the right time and all of this,
so we kind of just like, yo, it's what we got.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
We're going with this.

Speaker 16 (33:28):
Timing is just God's thing. I guess you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
But I don't believe that these songs were the songs
you're sitting around show me love you've been sitting on.

Speaker 16 (33:35):
I had that for what I got. I got a
video for it so I can show you to day
to the video. But like I said, these are all
things I've I've felt at a time, so they all
real songs, and they all real to me.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
How are you doing, though? How are you doing? Brother?

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I feel like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 16 (33:49):
I'm I'm happy to be in a space where I
am releasing music, you know what I'm saying, being creative
and and just put myself out to the world again.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Why is that? Why are you afraid to put out music?
But you're on a very dope part is I've been
rocking with Party for a long time before you even
had a deal or anything. Why are you afraid to
put out music?

Speaker 5 (34:06):
You know?

Speaker 3 (34:06):
I don't.

Speaker 16 (34:06):
I don't know exactly what I can attribute it to.
I don't know if I say afraid, But it's just
like I'm a I'm a bit of a perfectionist, you
know what I'm saying. I like to tweak and care
even even this project right now, like we ad to
uh we had the eleventh hour and I'm still making
changes and whatnot, you know what i mean. Like that's
just just part of my uh my process. But uh,

(34:27):
I had to really force myself to do it. I'm
an overthinker of a little bit, you know what I'm saying.
I've been Uh, I've been the receiver of scrutiny on
several things. So I'm like, I like you were less
gun shy before you had a deal. Absolutely I had.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Nothing to lose.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
To get a deal.

Speaker 16 (34:43):
I had to get out there, you know what I'm saying,
Like I gotta I gotta make something. And this was
just me expressing myself, you know what I'm saying. And
now it's like at this level expressing yourself, you can
get you. Ridiculed can get you. You know what I'm saying.
I say that, you know what I mean. So it's
a little it's a little different of a creative process.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Sometimes, does this make it difficult for you?

Speaker 8 (34:59):
Because you know you've released projects before and usually when
you do interview is in this In this album, you're
more emotional, You're talking about feelings. So is it difficult
for you to do interviews now and to talk about feelings,
especially where you came from and how you came up
in this industry.

Speaker 16 (35:14):
I'm happy that. I'm happy that I'm having to get
comfortable with it, you know what I'm saying. Like it's
definitely a thing that's new to me, expressing vulnerability, how
I'm really feeling, you know what I'm saying. I like
to play quiet, like you know what I'm saying. I
don't share too much of my personal life, even on
social media, like you know what I mean. I don't
do I don't do too I don't even promote my
own a lot of the time, you know what I'm saying.
I just like, yo, here, go to music, y'all tell

(35:35):
me what y'all think.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 16 (35:36):
But but I'm trying to get comfortable with, uh, with
just being more out there and expressing myself and telling
people how I feel.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Is it imposter syndrome, because you know, the first project
that put me on too, you was not supposed to
not supposed to be I supposed to be here. That's tough,
That's what I is. So what did that title mean then,
and what does it mean to you now when you
hear that?

Speaker 16 (35:54):
I still I still, I still think it stands the same,
you know what I mean? At that time in my life,
not supposed to be here. I was in the hood.
I felt like I was so talented, you know what
I mean. I'm like, Yo, there's no way all this talent,
all this music, all this drift, I'm supposed to be
in the hood. And I felt like it rang true,
not just for me, but for everybody that was in Newburgh,
Like you know what I'm saying, in that area of
upstate New York. I felt like, Yo, I know that's

(36:15):
nice at ball that's not getting that same look. You
know what I'm saying. I know other things that can
do this and that and the third and we just
wasn't getting our looks. So I just felt like there
was no way I was supposed to be stuck in
that position.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
So that was the name of it. And you was
right then, what I'm talking about, like even now, do
you feel like you're not supposed to be here? There's
some type of syndrome. You know, made a lot of
money writing for people stuff like that.

Speaker 16 (36:36):
I feel like I am supposed to be here. But
I feel like I'm not one that always boasts myself
up like I did this, I did that, you know
what I'm saying. So I'm always been the person of
a Let somebody else do it, like, you know, like
let them tell your accolades, let them like yo, naw,
you come up here, you know what I mean. Like,
so I've never been one to like just boast myself
to the forefront or take that. So I guess if

(36:57):
that's in that impostive syndrome laying you.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Got a lot of plaques, you wrote a lot a
lot of plaques.

Speaker 16 (37:02):
Yo, that's why I'm back. Just pop my you know
what I'm saying. Like it's like, if not, who's gonna
pop it for you? But you you know what I'm saying.
So it's like, now just being more true to myself
is like damn, dide accomplish a lot, And now I
feel the need to because now I see people act
like I don't got this like, you know what I'm saying,
we never did this, we never did it. I'm out here,
I've been out here. I'm great at what I do.
You know what I'm saying, I do it well. So
I feel like now's the time I really got to

(37:22):
just show that and talk about it.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
You wrote all the hits. I remember when Party posted
be Careful before we heard cofy on it day it's
him Rappings sounding crazy.

Speaker 16 (37:32):
First off, she heard the song and she's like, I
need this. You know what I'm saying, I I'm taking this.
She did her thing to it, flipped it around, all
of that. But at the time that song was I'm
like writing it from the perspective of a girl for me,
and my verse was going to be like my response,
But you know, she took it and made it like multi.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Million dollar hit.

Speaker 13 (37:49):
But it's crazy because a as a as a woman
who's listening to your music. A lot of times I
feel like I hear you telling like women, I'm a gym,
don't lose me.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
I'm here for you.

Speaker 13 (37:59):
But in real life, if you're saying that, you don't
even feel that way about a lot of your accomplishments,
Like why how is it like a whole different person
when you're the artist party versus in person writer presenting
your accolades.

Speaker 16 (38:10):
CARTI, because in your music you get to you know,
get to pop your ship, you get to explain, you
get to tell your side of the story. You get
to be yourself, you know what I'm saying, and put
out to the universe what you that you need to like.
And I'm like, I'm a person that likes to let
my uh my work speak for myself. You know what
I'm saying, speak for yourself. So if I'm braggado to music,

(38:30):
I get to be chilling person. You know what I'm saying. Y,
you know what I'm.

Speaker 8 (38:33):
I was as, do you want to be an artist
or do you prefer to write behind the scenes?

Speaker 16 (38:37):
No, listen, I've never ever I told this before. I've
never ever intended to be a writer, Like, you know
what I'm saying. I don't consider myself a writer to
this day. Like I've really just helped out people I
like or people that I'm friends with, you know what
I'm saying. It's not like I'm in a studio with
people all day cooking up records. Like Yo, this is
for such that's not me. I'm making music for myself
most of the time. And if there's somebody that I

(38:58):
respect or somebody that just wants my taste, my opinion
on something, I feel like that's more.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (39:04):
The laying it is is like no taste. His beat
selection is impeccable. He's witty, you know what I'm saying.
So people went that around when they're created it, so
I'll be happy to help when it's when it's somebody
I like.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I remember being being somewhere with Kanye, and Kanye was like, man, man,
yo man, that Cardi line man when she said, Uh,
I'm about to I'm about to run out of Gucci.
Too many hangers something on the line. I got to
stay out of Gucci. I'm finna run out of there,
and he was like, I need to work with Party.
I didn't even I thought he was talking about Party
next door. It didn't dawn on me he was talking

(39:35):
about Party man. Like at this time, he like, I
know that nigga. You know that nigga? So you ended
up in Wisconsin absolute writing for Kanye?

Speaker 16 (39:48):
Then yeah, yeah, we put them together out there too.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
So Kanye, Cardy, who else?

Speaker 16 (39:54):
Beyonce?

Speaker 2 (39:56):
I didn't know that one. Yeah, Like that's what I mean.

Speaker 16 (39:59):
So it's like when people like you're a writer and
I say, I don't just be out here just writing
for anybody's like look who I look who I work with?
You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm not about to
just be out here just.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
On the Renaissance album.

Speaker 16 (40:09):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, something else. But
had come out anytime anytime He's like, you ask you
too many questions? Anytime you could anytime you get to
work with Beyonce. You know what I'm saying. I love
that opportunity. I was so glad that she even you know,
considered my taste and in my opinion on putting something together.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
So how did that call come in?

Speaker 16 (40:31):
Hey, Beyonce, he wants to do something? You got any
ideas for this?

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Who called your phone?

Speaker 11 (40:36):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Was it whole?

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Was it be was?

Speaker 16 (40:39):
And it was one of those things where I'm like whatever,
you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, whatever, phone, Yeah,
you know what I mean. But then I heard the Instagram.
I'm like, nah, this could be something. This this is
probably gonn this is probably gonna materialize into something. You
drop everything and run right to the studio. I think
I did you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
I was in the crib.

Speaker 16 (40:57):
I was in the crib and when I got the call,
so I did. I started it right away. Are you
allowed to talk about this? What what I'm talking abou
right now?

Speaker 7 (41:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:04):
I think sign getting no letters or not? Like this
is it out?

Speaker 5 (41:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:08):
It came out. Okay, okay, okay. I'm just thinking maybe
another Houston hot he could block it now.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
I'm just asking.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
I don't know. We got more with partisan Fontaine when
we come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good
morning morning.

Speaker 8 (41:20):
Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne to gud we are the
breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
We're still kicking it with Partisan Fontaine, Charlomae.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Now, don't show me love, you say putting ointment on
scars that you got way before me. Powerful line. Talk
to me about that line.

Speaker 16 (41:34):
When you when you get into relationships with some people,
like sometimes there are things they've been through that are
traumatic to them, like you know, and you gotta you
gotta kind of maneuver around.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
That, like sore spots.

Speaker 16 (41:44):
Since of the spots, you try to show them that
those things are are not issues for you, or you
try to just help them heal through through those things.
So can you help somebody here if you're not yourself
on a journey of healing, If you're not yourself healed,
yeah healed, are on a journey of hell. I mean
I feel like that's a common mistake that people try
to make. I mean, you know what I'm saying, trying
to heal somebody, trying to fix somebody, you know what

(42:05):
I mean. It's a common thing that we try. But
I think as people, we just try to help others
along on our journeys at whatever spot they are.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
That's why I hear on a lot of these songs,
you know, especially on like Run Run Run, you said
you're not ready for love, and so it made me think, well, damn,
if party not on a journey of healing, and if
he's not ready for love, how can he be mad
at a woman who's not ready yet?

Speaker 16 (42:30):
I mean, at that time, it was like, Damn, I'm
not ready for love.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Maybe i've been.

Speaker 16 (42:35):
I've just been through something that now makes me unable
to be ready to give the love that I know
I can or love at my highest potential. You know what,
I'm saying, so I feel like that was that message
at that time. So now you did the record the
person I did. What made you release that record? Why
did you feel like you had to do that record?
I just felt like I wanted to give some context

(42:56):
to the things that have been put out about myself.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
You know, I felt like that was just necessary. Was
that really about you? When she said she called her
man getting in her bed, was that about you? I
didn't know if that was about you or she was
just rapping. It's a it's a loose interpretation of events.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Make it tight for us, Like we want to understand
because when you say you walked into your man getting
in the bed.

Speaker 16 (43:20):
Sound that sounds very specific.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
I'm envisioning her walking in and going off on.

Speaker 16 (43:24):
Shorty and this and this is why I was like,
this is absolutely not the case. And that's why I
felt like a record like the person needed to happen.

Speaker 8 (43:30):
So he went the clear of how you feel like
the social media in the industry was looking at you,
I wasn't at one time.

Speaker 16 (43:37):
Just everything I h with that with that one line,
a lot of people are like, oh, it's one line.
One line. That one line like made people not want
to interview me, like you know what I'm saying, Like
what like this is proud of me saying anything, making
any song. I'm like, oh, now he's this, he's that,
you know what I'm saying. My whole I've never y'all
know me, y'all know me for a long time. I've
never been a bad person, never been painted any type

(43:58):
of way in at all, Like you know what I'm saying. Like,
so that that one, it hurt me personally, and then
to it it like tarnished my image. You tarnished my
you know what I'm saying? What was as a person?

Speaker 8 (44:08):
One line that you did said that I think all
men out there felt was when you said you found
out a lot of stuff that was going on through
social media. So how did y'all deal with that? Because
even during that time, y'all still stay strong? So how
did y'all deal with that? Because it has to be
hard to find out something about your partner or anybody
on social or not face to face.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 16 (44:27):
I mean, you and somebody you love you, you find
a lot of endurance, Like you know what I'm saying,
You go through things, Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Mean on sexy and conceited. You said a girl could
stab you when you wouldn't leave.

Speaker 16 (44:37):
So if someone can do something like that, if that's
the type of times you know what I'm saying, Like
I've been in toxic relationships. It's like, you know what
I'm saying, if we bonded, and we bonded whatever.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
But traumas, what's your sign? I'm a Capricorn, So so
my point by saying that is, you know if somebody
and I know you was just exaggerating when you say
somebody couldtab you and you wouldn't leave. Basically you're saying
you're willing to make things work through anything. You know
what I'm saying. We liked that that, so you could
make it even if you did hear about her and
other people speaking of Megan, you could you could work

(45:05):
through that, right if you love it.

Speaker 16 (45:07):
I don't think it's ever been an issue about who
she's been with or any or any partner, like you
know what I'm saying. I don't think that's something for
people to judge, like who you've been with, But I
think something to be judged is honesty, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
In a relationship, I think that's not going to be judged.

Speaker 8 (45:24):
And that's the one thing that was surprised because you
don't speak much on social media. It's all about the music.
So at one time you was ready to go to war, right,
ready to to knuckle up with whoever it was, and
because you believe something, and then you found out that
what you believe wasn't the truth.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
So how was that dealt with?

Speaker 8 (45:38):
Because you you were ready to fight whoever right as
you should, your girl, your your fiance, somebody was thinking
about you said you were going to pick out a ring,
and they sound.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Like you listened to the song. I listen to the album.
You know. I like that.

Speaker 16 (45:49):
I like that and I appreciate that because I feel
like when I see a lot of comments, so I
get a lot of questions, I'm like, yo, did you
listen to this? Like you know what I'm saying, I've
said spoke, I spoke my piece. I said what I'm saying. Like,
I've never been one to want to come in and
address a bunch of stuff, especially not anything this personal.
This like this serious to me on you know what

(46:09):
I'm saying in a uh, It's like, yeah, you know
what I'm saying. And that's not my body. You know
what I'm saying. I barely talk about my own music,
which I which I want people to here. You barely
put out music.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Shut up, man, time to put music.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I guess here.

Speaker 16 (46:22):
Sex tape is out now make sure, And I mean
sex tape just brings more questions them by that name.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (46:29):
Sex is one of my topics that I go to often.
You know what I'm saying. It's especially in the music.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
There's a lot of things you can do with the
word sex though.

Speaker 13 (46:36):
And then I mean, you know, right now, everybody's having
a conversation about you, Meg Tory, Lanez and then you
drop something you name it sex tape.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
People.

Speaker 13 (46:42):
I feel like a lot of people look at this
as like you're leaning into what's happening or what's what's
the conversation is?

Speaker 16 (46:48):
Like, you know what I'm saying, it's one of those
damn if you do, damn if you don't.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
If you leaning in, it's fine.

Speaker 16 (46:52):
But I promise you I have my title picked and
I thought, I'm like, yo, boom, all right, let's just
drop off the s because you know what I'm saying,
it might be too uh might be too raunchy to
explicit boom. But now it's X tape. Oh, now it's
definitely about such and you's.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Gonna go X tape.

Speaker 16 (47:07):
That was my abbreciation. That was that like, but listen now,
and that's still a problem, you know what I mean.
So I couldn't avoid it either way. You know, it's
supposed to be X taped. No, it's supposed to be
sex tape.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Supposed to be And that's cute, you say, alfraidle and
mistakes the only thing holes know how to make.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
They could do spaghetti, baked chicken, they could do a
couple of bits.

Speaker 16 (47:39):
But then the mistakes thought if you ask them, if
you asked them to make something, you get. You know
what I'm saying. If she if she one level up,
she's gonna throw into salmon. You know what I'm saying,
she might throw make a little salmon.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
It's my medium in the air fire. No, and then
another part, you say, I love you girl like Andrew Tate.
Andrew Tate don't really love the women, you know, No, I.

Speaker 16 (48:01):
Don't know the interview I saw he was talking about
how you love You know what I'm saying. He wanted
a woman and all that I thought he was.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
You talking about Andrew Tate the online.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Yes, how did you one hundred millionaire billionaire?

Speaker 3 (48:11):
I got party.

Speaker 13 (48:12):
I'm starting to feel like there's a little bit of like,
you know what you're doing, because it ain't no way
you thought that man loved women.

Speaker 16 (48:18):
You think Andrew Tate don't love women.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
He has some serious issues on how he shows it
and how he speaks on it.

Speaker 16 (48:24):
I don't know everything more man doing his life. The
interview that I saw, I'm like, love women. I understand
that boom. You know what I'm saying in the studio
of making line.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
It was a line. Now I clip that with people
that will say online run from men who like Andrew Tate.
That's what women did. I ocous say I like Andrew Tate.
I just said, you know what I'm saying, I love
you girl.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Like I just I put Andrew Tate into Google. You want.

Speaker 13 (48:44):
Of the first three things that came up danger, they
talked about the his trafficking case.

Speaker 16 (48:51):
Jesus Christ, let me, let me let me like yo yo.
Why are you scared to put out music? This is why,
this is why you're a rap Andrew Tape. This is

(49:11):
why music now, But now like my stream of consciousness.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Now I have to go back and be like, you
know what I'm saying, like when a line that makes
it makes sense, like just run with plate. That's it.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
The next line of CBS be open late like I
have to do with anything. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (49:31):
Nothings what you a CBS see.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 16 (49:39):
But boom, that's artistic, right, you know what I'm saying
like you can.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (49:43):
I'm just don't don't read it too Muchington, I'm just
just a jokes.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
I want more.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
We got more with Partisan Fontaine. When we come back,
it's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 8 (49:51):
Good morning you woting everybody at c j M V.
Charlamage the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Lauren the
Rosa is here, our guest host who We're still kicking
it with Partisan Fontein and his album or his EP
sex tape is out right now.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Do you feel like you rushed to put this project
out just because to your point, you don't like people
talking about you. So when you put out the record
about Meg, it was so much backlash. He was like, man,
let me change the conversation a little bit.

Speaker 16 (50:14):
Nah, this this, this project was coming. It was already slated,
and you know what I'm saying, it was already coming,
and uh, it just time was that the person song
took time away from me prepping the project. You know
what I'm saying. That was just a one off. It's
not on the project because it wasn't for that, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
I didn't. I didn't.

Speaker 16 (50:32):
I never wanted this to be like, Yo, I'm about
to capitalize on this. I just felt like I needed
I needed to, Uh, I need to put it out
there so people could hear me, like you know what
I'm saying. And I didn't want it to be the
talking point of my creativity. I didn't want you know
what I'm saying. That's a side note. I had to
do that for myself. But this is what I want
you to focus on. This is what's important to me.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
So what happened? Why did y'all break up? I mean,
because he's never like directly answered the question why.

Speaker 16 (51:00):
Did we break up? There's a there's a there's a
laundry list of reasons that could have caused us to
be apart, and I.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Don't want you to give any of them. Because you
still love that young lady.

Speaker 13 (51:09):
That was my next question, because on your project it
sounds like no. On the person, it sounds like you
still love it.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
You you definitely love Listen.

Speaker 16 (51:16):
I'm a person that doesn't that believes love doesn't go away,
it changes, you know what I'm saying. Like, and I've
always and that's another thing I've stated, like Yo, I
always went well for her, Like you know what I'm saying.
I'm not a person that wants bad for her. I'm
not out here calling her all types of such and such.
I've never I've never even discussed some of the things
on that song with my closest friends, like you know
what I'm saying. So when the song came, people's like, Yo,

(51:39):
that this You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
I don't.

Speaker 16 (51:41):
I never ever, once ever talked bad about her to anyone,
not even you know what I mean. Like, I'll do
wish the best? Would you do with the ring? And
you said that you picked that a ring from Greg Ruth, Greg,
that's our god. He didn't say he bought just don't
know if he actually got the Did you buy it?
Did you buy it or did you pick it up?
The money has been allotted for something different now, But

(52:01):
you said she lied to you about something? What did
she lie about what you was talking about earlier?

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Because when you buy a ring and you're about to propose, right,
so you found out she lied about something and that
made you change your mind.

Speaker 16 (52:13):
I felt like I felt like it made me definitely
half the second guess where we was at, you know
what I mean at that time? Like it took it,
it did, it did damage, you know what I'm saying,
Like internal, I don't know if it made us break apart,
but it was just like it definitely took a blow
to me.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Could you love again?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Could you trust again? Absolutely? I think I'm open to
to love him. Can you tell every girl you loved him?
That guy? You my girlfriend? We gonna you that guy?

Speaker 16 (52:39):
Absolutely not. It's hard for me to like really like
vibe consistently with a person, you know what I'm saying, Like,
so I'm not that I love you that No, it's
not me.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
It's not me at all. Are you a person that
has to wear the pants in the relationship because you
got feminist tattooed across you? But on the I forgot
what record is on the album? You said only one
relationship and I got it. First of all? Pause, what
does that mean? You said that? Just a good line.

Speaker 16 (53:11):
You can either cry about it or you've a wine punt.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
You know what I'm saying this is this is what
does that mean for you?

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Though?

Speaker 2 (53:18):
It's just like it's just like that sounds like very much.
I'm the man. What I say goals?

Speaker 16 (53:23):
I don't know, and some sometimes in your relationship, man,
you have to be the man. Bro, you have to
be the feminist tattoos stomach. Yes, absolutely, I'm a man
that's a feminist. You don't think so you don't think
that's possible.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Yeah, because I got four daughters, so it's like and
I regardless.

Speaker 16 (53:38):
And I have one that I love. Yeah, absolutely, that's
what I'm saying. So I'm very much a man. I'm
very much a feminist. I don't think the two have to,
you know, be at odds.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
So y'all gonna talk ever again, you you're very careful
what your words.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
About I think or spoke?

Speaker 3 (53:52):
Have you Magan spoke? Would you be open to that?

Speaker 16 (53:57):
I don't know what the conversation would be about, you know,
I don't I don't know.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
We see Nellie and Shani's been the block.

Speaker 16 (54:04):
I don't I don't foresee. I don't foresee that, but
you know what I do see?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
What's that? Yeah?

Speaker 16 (54:09):
It's on everything you know is on Spotify, on Apple Music.
Matter of fact, I'm the first person to ever have
his sex tape uploaded to Apple Music?

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Do you know that?

Speaker 16 (54:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Yeah? And Spotify. I mean that is interesting. I do
wander because I can see the frustration and I know
it's got to be hard to go out here and
from the project and everybody asking you about you want
to talk about this? If I guess this is my
last question about that the person record, because you talked
about a lot of the trauma that she's been through.
You say she needs to do work on herself. If
you knew that she had been through all these traumas

(54:40):
that she needs to deal with, why make a song
about it?

Speaker 7 (54:42):
Like?

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Why put more salt in the wound? So to speak?
What that record was going?

Speaker 1 (54:46):
That would a gaslight?

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Mm hmm. Already need like she's not the bell of
the ball on social media. Social media, it makes her
more of a villain.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Than especially after a song where she talks about not
wanting to be here.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Is that what is that what y'all pulled away from
the song?

Speaker 9 (55:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Is that what you pulled away from the song?

Speaker 16 (55:03):
Honestly, honestly, that is one of.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
The things I pulled away from the song because cause
being that I know you and I know how you move,
I'm like, well, damn, why would party do this at
a time Like I didn't pull it for you just
said she just talked about how she wanted to kill
herself and all types of other things like why had
fuel to it?

Speaker 1 (55:17):
But I pulled it as he was trying to clear
his name. That's what I pulled.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
I hurt people. I pulled both of y'all. Have y'all
own hurt from people?

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Hurt people?

Speaker 13 (55:25):
No, not that like I meant, hurt people like them too,
both of them. I think that both of y'all have
y'all were both very publicly hurt and there's still some
of that there. That's why asks with y'all, would you
ever be open to having a conversation with her? But
I just felt like because again going back to what
I said earlier, because of what how like I myself,
I this my first as a fan, looked at you
as the protect black woman person. It's just like you

(55:47):
can get that lick back, but like is it even
really a lick? Like does that even stick?

Speaker 2 (55:51):
For real? Did you cheat? Party? That's all people gonna
keep asking you over and over until you know, until
we give him. I gave an answer.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
You didn't.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
You did cheat?

Speaker 16 (56:05):
Listen to you? You said you said, you said you
listened to the song. It's entirety you're sitting there.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
You got to go back again.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
What context he was? He said he would never cheat.

Speaker 16 (56:12):
First, damn context clues. I've put this in the it's
in there, like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 13 (56:17):
Read, I've said this, boy, how are you reading now
with the Are you still like people been sing you
with the Jada Kingdom and that whole thing you smiling?

Speaker 3 (56:27):
Is that a you blessing? Is that a relationship?

Speaker 7 (56:29):
Or like?

Speaker 15 (56:29):
How?

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Because how are you dealing with a whole new person
and you don't seem kind of like close off or
like done with what you've been through?

Speaker 16 (56:37):
Listen, this is so, this is this is why social
media is like an illusion, right, Like this song comes
out and now it's brand new again. You got to
think about how long we have been separated? You know
what I'm saying you've seen other people like months and
months ago.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
You know what I mean, Like this is not new, Like.

Speaker 16 (56:53):
I've been through this process of healing. I've done my all, right,
this is the my reality. This is we've gone separate.
You know what I'm saying, I've done and taking that time.
I guess social media makes it look like it was
like this.

Speaker 8 (57:07):
That's the part that sucks because when we've seen it.
You know, of course you see the pictures with when
she was with the football player, it was like, damn,
she cheating on party. But y'all was finished by then.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
I'll be honest with You're just worse than ETHI.

Speaker 7 (57:18):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
I listened like once or twice because I didn't want
to hear you like that. This is bad. Bro. You
say on the record that she can hit up your
mom for anything. I don't think your mom would proved
this record. Remember when jay Z made did you ask me?
Jay Z made super Ugly? He said his mom told
him like, yo, you went too far. I think if
she heard that she say this. What did your mom
think about this record? I don't know because I know I.

Speaker 16 (57:42):
Know she didn't appreciate the line that was said about me.
I know she didn't appreciate that, especially with somebody that
she was speaking to.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Does your mom still speak to her?

Speaker 3 (57:51):
They were still speaking around the time to the song drop.

Speaker 16 (57:55):
I don't think around the time drop, but like not
too not too far removed, you know what I mean?
What song you want to help your album anyway? What's
your favorite one on that?

Speaker 2 (58:03):
What's just sexy? You can seed it? That's the one,
that's the one, sexty you can seated. That's our guy,
sexty in conceited bought on Dfontaine sex tape out this
Friday party.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
We appreciate you for joining us, brother, Thank you, thank you.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Time you get.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
You are, I'm a fat and all that shit around
your eyes.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
They want this man to dog the blows man, wait
to top the gloves to make a.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey
of the Day. They chose you the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Bitch you Who's donkey of the day today?

Speaker 5 (58:43):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (58:44):
Donkey of Today goes to a thirty year old Connecticut
man named Kobe Parker. Now Kobe Parker called police at
around eight eighteen pm to report his child missing from
his car parked outside Price Chopper supermarket in Connecticut, already
told police he had gone into the store and left
the child in his vehicle, but the child was missing
when he came back. Now, before we even get into
the details of the story, I feel like he could

(59:06):
get the biggest he hall for simply leaving his child
in the car. Okay, I don't know why parents would
still be leaving their children in the car under any circumstances.
There is absolutely zero reason for you to leave your
little child in a car. We've seen enough examples of
kids dying from he'd exhaust, he dishausted. We've seen enough
examples of kids being kidnapped. Like, your child is not
a pet, bro That's why I hate when people call

(59:27):
their pets kids, because if you had actual kids, you
would know the difference, all right, If you don't let
your child outside the peete, and you shouldn't, even though
people do, leave your child in the car while you're
running the store. Real quick, Now, the story gets way
stupider than this, because it turns out the child was
indeed missing, but not because of a kidnapping, but because
of a good old fashioned thing called parental neglect. Let's

(59:48):
go to WTNH News eight for the report. Please.

Speaker 17 (59:50):
Lasha Rushavano reported his child went missing from his car
while he was inside the Mansfield Price Chopper, Pelicia.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
It turns out that thirty year old Kobe Parker actually left.

Speaker 17 (01:00:00):
A child home alone and only thought the child was
with him. At last conducted a search around the store.
That's when they sent officers to Parker's house. They found
the child there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Fine.

Speaker 17 (01:00:12):
Police say Parker failed a sobriety test. The child was
placed in custody of a family member.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Failed a sobriety test. That man was high. Okay, I
knew this man was high before I even heard the story.
The news report said he failed a sobriety test. He
probably was drinking too. But this man was operating on
at least a forty to sixty milligram edible. Okay, I
know edible. Actually, when I hear it, I hadn't been
high off of edible. Scrolling through Instagram looking for my
phone and I only got one phone. Okay, speaking of phone,
some of y'all care about your phones more than you
care about your kids. Okay, before you leave your house,

(01:00:39):
you're checking for your keys, wilet, phone, we need to
add kids to that. Kids keys wilet phone. It's like
the heads, shoulders, knees in tosknes in toes, kids keys though,
wilet phone, wilet phone. We will lose our minds if
we leave home without our phones. Before we get in
the call, we check it for it in God for
a bit. We drive a little bit and then go
to our phone and make a call to go to

(01:01:00):
our phone and turn the music on. If we don't
feel our phones, we will stop everything and run back
to the house. This man Kobe did not feel that
way about his own flesh and blood. Now I understand
possibly being high enough that you forgot the kid at home,
But you were so high you actually thought you put
the kid in the car, scrapped them up. Probably turned

(01:01:20):
on revolting children from Matilda the musical, singing along with
the child, we are revolting children, living and revolting times.
You got out the car okay in your mind, thinking
you'll be right back, probably cracked the window in all,
told the child you was gonna get them something and everything,
and then came back to the car and thought the
child that was never there had been kidnapped. Glasses. I

(01:01:43):
think he on the sharm that you used to serve. Okay,
this sounded like pee wee sherman to me? Does this
sound like sharm used to do the U glasses?

Speaker 16 (01:01:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
No, something else is wrong with him.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
I don't think people, even on sharm forget their chess.
They just don't forget their chairs. Damn.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Always remember, man, children may forget what you say, but
they will never forget how you made them feel, especially
when you forget them. Please let me Ma give Kobe
Parker the biggest he hall.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
He haw he ha.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
You stupid motherfuck?

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Are you dumb? All right? Look, it's a relief he
wasn't kidnapped, But man, leaving the kid at the house,
that might have been worse. I know y'all watch home
alone and think kids can handle themselves and never adult
turn around. But this ain't a movie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
Dun Have y'all ever did that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
I know the kids at home.

Speaker 13 (01:02:30):
Your first kid, Like I always am scared that when
I have my first kid, I might forget like, okay,
I have the kid and leave the kids somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
I guess you're doing. I guess you're leaving your kid
on top of the car driving off.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
That's one of my fears, like the car seat, like
just because I don't know, you're moving so fast and
it's new.

Speaker 5 (01:02:43):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
I used to double check my niece like, okay, she's here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
I think you're gonna know, especially you, you're gonna carry
it for nine months, push it out. You're not gonna
forget that double check. Trust definitely something only a man
will do. That's never done it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
I'm super sensitive.

Speaker 8 (01:02:57):
Like even when my kids are sleeping, I'm the one
that looks to see if they chest is moving after
actually breathing at night at times, Yeah, I do that
all the time. Same thing when I'm driving in the car.
Make sure like I'm very, very extra when it comes
to the kids.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
That's good to know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
We are revolting children living in revolting times.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Et. We'll see them all pie Et the Breakfast Club,
Good morning. Everybody is dj.

Speaker 8 (01:03:32):
En v Charlamagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club
was still kicking it with Rich Paul. He has a
new book Luckily out right now. You know him as
the agent to Lebron James, Anthony Davis and so many more.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
Charlomagne podcast Why You Disrespect Michael Jordan Like that on
the podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
I didn't disrespect Michael Jordan.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
You said that. He you said bron is Platinum and
Michael go Like damn.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
I said for me, because the way I'm looking at
it is you never respected Michael Jordan too.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
You said that in the book.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
I did not see. I did not say that. That's right,
but you're not gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
You said you said you respected him on the court,
but off the court he wasn't for the culture, basically
is what you said.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
No, I said I respected him on the court, of course,
but there was no touch. Michael Jordan was a different
guy off the court.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
I had several examples of Michael Jordan off the court, right,
So that's not a slight to me. I love Michael Jordan,
by the way, every shoe until like after fourteen, because
it started getting a little weird every game I used
to watch the commercials. Wouldn't even shay I was a
Michael Jordan.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Everything you said about Jordan in the book, I understood
exactly what you mean.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Yeah, but that's my thing. So like I was more culturally, yeah,
but but okay, So when you think about a guy
like Alan Iverson, imagine if Alan Iverson had a rich Paul.
You see what I'm saying. It's a different dynamic because
I understand him. I understand culture, and I know what
those braids and what that armsleeve did, and I understand

(01:05:00):
the business that that that didn't necessarily go with Rebound.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Who you were talking with back then, Nike? Did Nike?
You understand it because he was there. It's not like
I'm sure Nike you offer of him something.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
Alan Iverson knew what his agent total. You can spend it,
hire which way you want to spend it. And if
you don't know culture, how many pairs of sneakers you
think his agent bought.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Alan ivers I don't know, but I know I bought
a bunch of the man I'm just saying, prior.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
To Alan Iverson, how many pairs of sneakers you think
is agent probably bought? Now his agent?

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Oh yeah, probably not exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
So how could you How could you do a shoe
deal for me? And you don't because you're gonna get
very few guys that can actually move product. Everybody have
a signature shoe cannot move product. So that's just for
your ego. When you have a signature shoe, to go
is to build a signature business. There's been very few
guys that can build a signature business.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
My thing is, you can't help me make that decision.
Now you can help ninety nine point nine percent of
the players make a decision on a shoe deal because
it's just He's simple. If you don't care about the brand,
pretty much, most guys don't on to where who's paying
the most money. It's only gonna work while I'm playing.
But if you're an Alan Iverson, that ain't what you need.

(01:06:09):
You need somebody that understands culture, understands cool, understands product.
You get what I'm saying, because you have the opportunity
to build a business that can have sustainability in the
marketplace much longer than you play.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
Let's go back to the Platinum Antlas thing though.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
No, Okay, So all I'm saying is that's just for me.
I think people people oftentimes want you to think how
they think for whatever reason. Obviously we know MJ's a
goat of his era.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
No, he's the goat of his era. He's the goat
rich It's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Of listen, you can't compare errors, man like you can't
fallt MJ. For the era he played in. You can't
fault Lebron for the air he played in. You can't
fault Steph Curry for changing Steph Curry changed the game
of basketball in the way it's played. My coach Frank
Novak or coach j May rest in peace with Glenville,
legendary coach. If you stepped across half court and shot

(01:07:10):
a forty foot jumper, that's a bad shot. Steph Curry
turned a bad shot into a great shot for Steph Curry,
not for everybody. You know what I'm saying. We can
knock those things. And again, when you talk about the
Jordan Lebron, everybody gonna have their own opinion. You're you're
entired to that. Michael Jordan was the best guy ever

(01:07:30):
seen played a game of basketball until twenty years of Lebron.
Me saying twenty years of Lebron, that's not a knock.
Lebron could also play with Mike. I think Lebron would
have been just as good in Mike's era.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Do you think people will ever fully appreciate le Bron? No,
if we keep comparing him to Michael Jordan, that's my thing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Lebron was the first person that did things how he
wanted to do it, unapologetically. They wanted him to do
everything like Mike. Well, I don't have to do that.
That shouldn't be a knock on me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Good marketing, though, be like Mike. Everybody wanted to be
like Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Yeah, but you know, everybody wanted to be like Mike.

Speaker 5 (01:08:04):
That was a great.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
That was a great you know when you think about himself.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
But when you think about that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
It shot hurts you that bad man you beat Cleveland
in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
No, I actually no, I was actually a Mike fan.
I was actually I'm still a Mike fan. I talked
to Mike all the time, like it's not that's not
a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Do y'all argue about who's better him?

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
We had we go on the base about different things.
I got the utmost respect for Mike. We're gonna rebate
debates about different things. But I'm also a truth like,
I don't sugarcoat things. And I'm never gonna get in
the room. It could be Jay Z in here and
Mike in here, and and then here comes Charlotte Man
and I act like I don't know you, or I
start talking different. I'm not gonna get to New York
and start talking like I'm from New York.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
We don't play that where I'm from. So it don't
matter who it is on the other end, If I
believe something, that's what I believe, it's not a slight
to anybody. I think Mike's to go. I also think
Lebron's to go.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
I think the antlers are a little different for different reasons.
That has nothing to do with the game of basketball, though.
The great business ball players all time, my top five
all time, Top five of all time, Bron, Mike. I mean,
I gotta put Steph in there now because step at three,
not in no particular I'm doing positions, Okay, Okay, yeah,

(01:09:18):
I got I gotta put Kobe in there too. You
got to think about no, No, I'm just saying I
gotta put Kobe in there.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Four.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
You got one more four? Magic shack? You go nah,
because I already got my point guard and I rock
with magic. But I mean, you know I would go
shock shack. Yeah, I would probably go shack. But you
know I don't do top five. That's my team that
nobody can beat. That's my team. But then when you
talk about just great players. Kevin Durant's a great player.

(01:09:44):
Despite what anybody has to say. The league is full
of great players right now. Giannis is a great player.
You know Damian Lillard. People try to get on a
guy like a d but there's no better basketball player.
When you talk about Anthony Davis when he's playing the
game of basketball level, he's unbelievable. But these young guys today,
you look at what Jason Tatum, I mean, all these

(01:10:05):
and I have the guys that I represent, the young
guys that I represent. We got dogs Man Garland, Maxie John,
John tay Trey, you know, Miles Bridges is back, Zach Lavine,
Darrin Fox in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Just maybe what was the dude named Drew Rosenhouse. Maybe
a little bit, but not.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Because you understand, like I'm appreciative of my guys, You're
only as strong as the guys allow you to be.
You know, the way I go about and we go
about our business as a company, it's just different. We
know I'm not I know I'm not gonna be able
to represent every player, every family. Don't want to hear
the truth when you're in a meeting, and at the
same time, you know, you still got parents that believe

(01:10:53):
in the so called establishment, and you still got people
that are defined by their business card. I don't. I
don't care a business card because I define a business card.
It's a difference, you know.

Speaker 8 (01:11:04):
All right, we got more with Rich Paul when we
come back. His book Lucky Meat is out right now.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Only everybody is DJ MV Charlamagne, the guy we are.
The Breakfast Club was still kicking him with Rich Paul.
He has a new book, Lucky Meet out right now.

Speaker 8 (01:11:21):
You know him as the agent to Lebron, James, Anthony
Davis and so many more. When the league tried to
box you out, how difficult was that because at one
time they tried to change the rich the Rich Paul
rule where you had to go to school and this,
that and the other. When they tried to box you out,
break that down, a couple of things happened.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
So when I first got in the business, the first
thing there was an article written on me that tried
to basically stuck my growth or stop me from being
put in position to even represent players. That was done
strategically coming from a place I once was, and they
tried to do that. A couple people did. That was
one thing that many people skip over and don't even

(01:11:58):
know about. And so I had to go through this
whole thing, the NC DOUBLEA investigating me all that found nothing,
but the young man lost its eligibility, which was bad.
It really cost him. But that came from somebody strategically
targeting me to try to do that number one, And
at the time when the article was written, it was like, damn,

(01:12:19):
you got them to write this article about me that
you know not true. That really pissed me off. And
then from there the rule from the NC DOUBLEA that
became the Rich Paul rule that said agents had to
have a college degree to be able to represent people
that are testing the water, meaning that I'm not sure
if I'm a pro or not, and I want to
keep my eligibility. Well, I don't really represent guys that's

(01:12:40):
testing the water anyway. So I really wasn't focused on that.
But at the same time, when I thought about it
a little bit more, I'm like, damn, this is not
even about me per se, because I'm already over the
hell in terms of I made on another side, it's
nothing that could really do to me. This is about
people come behind me, right, and so they're trying to
stop that. And that's when I wrote the opt ed.

(01:13:02):
It took six days from the take it down or
whatever it was like, they totally removed it because that
was BS.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
And it was clear and blatant.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
Didn't know that, Yeah, it was blatant.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
Yeah, Now I know. Books are always you know, great
first steps, first steps in the journey of healing. So
what are you doing to unpack some of the trauma
that you experienced throughout your life? Right in?

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
This book was very therapeutic for me.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:13:22):
I needed that. I needed that because, you know, as
a kid, I bottled so much and I didn't know
anything about talking to a therapist.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Back then.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
You know, the therapist was like guy with a fifth
of rolls in his hand. He drunk, you talk, you know.
But today I'm in a much different space. And that's
why I felt it was kind of like four things
motivation the book. I think it was important to get
people perspective and perception, and then to allow people to
walk with you through your journey and these experiences because

(01:13:53):
we have shared experiences despite race, gender, whatever the case
may be. Background wherever you came from. There's a chapter
in this book that you share an experience with me
in some shape form of fast for sure, and for
some people most chapters in this books you're gonna share
and experience and experience with me. So the timing of
it just felt right. And anything I do is gutting heart, man,

(01:14:14):
you know. And just like me and Lebron's texting the
other day and I was like, man, I really want
to get the artist to do like a self destruction
or all the same gang type song because it's just
what's happening today with our youth, just just so much
careless killing. And I don't knock the music in terms
of sharing your story, but it's just to a point

(01:14:35):
to where we need a different message. And that's not
to not be cool and not to be relatable and
all that. I know the relatability thing, but it's also
relatable to tell somebody what you're doing, why you're doing it,
and why not to do it as well, because that's
what we grew up on, you know what I'm saying,
Like change is cool to cop, but more important it
is lawyers fees. That's how it is now, That's how

(01:14:56):
it always be I never changed. It's always me, you know,
like I can't expect you to be Jay and I don't.
But at the same time, there's a balance, right, But
we need that we need because it's just crazy. That's
what's going on, you know right now. It's not even
about no money. You know this, And there's there's a
there's a chapter in the book, remember I talk about
the kid who said, well, that's why your mom smoke crack.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Right and used to snap crazy, And then when they
do that, you get frozen. N how to navigate through that, right?

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
And today it's hard for kids to do that because
social media is observer's paradox. And so if me and
you got into it that school and we was in
the bathroom, but Envy was the only one that's seen us.
You know, it's like, well, I want to know you
say you want Well, m the only one that's seen us.
Maybe he want to comment on it. Maybe he don't.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
I think would have been teasing Envy. I just feel
like that. I feel like I feel like he got
to give you light skinned.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Yeah, you gotta you gotta relax on V with the
last kids. Relax Richard. You know, I support envy back
in the day when they did a lot for us
in the in the culture, like you gotta relaculous. But
what I will say is just like but today, anything
you do, if a kid don't get a like they
take the picture down or enough, like you know, and

(01:16:09):
then now it's about comments that people are making and
it's calls in this retaliation and you're losing the kid
prior to so I look at it. I'm saying, like
you got to be able to get there, like these
kids not even allowing themselves to get there to where
you know, we all did crazy stuff when you're young,
but like who you are today, how you perceive life

(01:16:30):
and you know, your family and different things like that
your job. When you look back on some of the
things you did when you was young, like and that
was stupid. That was really stupid, you know. And so
but they're not even getting a chance to look back.
They want to do it. They want to it's a
cloud thing and it's and it's a it's just a
weird place right now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
East side of Cleveland. Yeah, Edmonton, Yeah, one twenty fifth.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Edmonton is like the to the exact Google map boom origin.
But Glendale community in Saint Clair's where I'm is, where
I'm from.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
How does the Dell fare in those environments? I took
her there really? Hell yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:17:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
What did she say? By the way, it's list hundred
percent one hundred percent. And by the way, you know,
we're pulling up and I got security right in the
Cleveland police everybody. So I'm pulling up to houses. You
know what it looks like when we when we're pulling up,
you know, all black trucks. The President of the town,

(01:17:26):
they think the President's town. Yeah, so you know it
starts spreading throughout the neighborhood like man, like you can't
you got to give us a heads up or something
pulling up like that. But no, we went to the
hood thoughs No, for sure. My family is my family, bro,
I don't you know in the book and when you
in Cleveland, all we all we saw was Cleveland. So

(01:17:48):
no matter how far I go in life, I take
Cleveland with me because I couldn't be me without Cleveland,
and not just Saint Clair, all of Cleveland, you know,
up the way down the way Crosstown.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Like this is a letter to Cleveland. It really.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
It really raised me and it'd be hard for me
to be who I am without the way I grew up.
And I really appreciate the guys in the dice House
that raised me, you know, all of them, you know,
Little Mos and Texas and Wings and and my uncle Lance,
my uncle Warren.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
You know I did the hood embracing Adele when you
had her out there. They loved it, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Yeah, they rock with it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
Yeah, that's some legendary rock with it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
Yeah, they looked at me. They rock with it because
that's part of me. It's hard to date me and
then I'm not me that that that'll never happen. I'm
not changing for nobody. I had Jake to send the
Hoods one one day during the tour. This was like five,
and he came out and where am I? This guys
at where this guys?

Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Where my where?

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
My Saint Clair?

Speaker 5 (01:18:43):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
They grew up in Marson.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
No, no, no, I understand that you said. You said that.
I'm just saying in terms of just me being me,
But no, they love it. They love it for sure.
