good deal for a lot of people in hip hop generation.
The breakfast club is where people get the information on
the topics, on the artists and everything like that. In

(00:23):

the guy Peace to the planet is Monday, Yes, it's Monday.
Back to the work. I got some amazing headphones on
right now. They say they are four D headphones. I

(01:04):
can't tell you how amazing everything sounds in this room
right now. The better. And he got a D on
his head right now too. Well that's for Dreamville. Yeah,
that's for Dreamville, right ear king Gate was just a
nice dream Ville merchandise. And you know Dreamville is A
is a label established by a brother from North Carolina.
So I have no problem putting this on d's on

(01:27):
your ears and D on your head started Monday morning.
Whatever I'm saying, in a great week or whatever, you
know what I mean? I can hear very well right, Yes,
the D makes you hear better. I'm serious. These headphones
are four D, y'all laugh. But I never heard of
four D headphones. I heard of four K was that
four K TV? It's what I never heard the four

(01:49):
D headphones or whatever? For you, this sounds incredible, Fords,
and you keep talking, ye, did you have a great week? Listen?
My weekend, as you know, was a lot as the
juice bar got broken into on Friday, so I had
to deal with that, but got everything back together again,
had to get a new glass and new register, you know,

(02:10):
do all kinds of things. So I basically spent Friday
and Saturday handling all of those things. But we are
good to go. Oh listen, man, you gotta drop clues
bomb for healthy burglars right like, they still nothing no
through but we have everything on video. But it's crazy
because we only keep two hundred dollars in the register.

(02:32):
So it's not like you used to keep but yeah,
not anymore now. But that's just the change. That's a
lot of change for in the morning. So when people
come in and they buy stuff, you know, there's some
singles and buys, but now we just you know, have
it somewhere else. You say, the only two undred dollars.
Two hundred dollars change somebody life, you know what I mean? Yeah,
but I don't think you changed anybody's life. But the
thing is, imagine doing all of that because it costs

(02:52):
so much more money to replace the glass. Fortunately. Yeah,
the register was they didn't take the computer with the register,
just the actual register, and then that was that. There
used to be a time they're breaking liquid stores, chicken spots,
check cashing place. Now I guess they stepped up now
whatever they can, holistic burglars, whatever. Shout out to everybody

(03:15):
who started so much support though over the weekend, because
a lot of our customers were really disappointed, and apparently
there's been a lot of break ins and best at
because once that happened a lot of business owners. There
was another store down the block from us, it's a
pet grooming place, and they broke into that place. That
same morning too. And then tillis you know the restaurant
that I go to all the time that my frien
Dahlia owns, they broke the glass, but they couldn't get

(03:36):
all the way in to her restaurant through the next door. Listen, America,
people are starving, people are hurting. They're still waiting for
another stimulus check. Folks out here is hurting. Yes, so
they will try to get you for two hundred dollars
because guess what they have zero And when you have zero,
two hundred dollars a lot of money. Yeah, I mean
that's in everything. That's where if you go into the ATM,

(03:57):
if you go into seven to eleven, if you're if
you're sepping out at your call, don't leave anything in
your car, not a bag, not a nothing, because its
like he said, people on people hurt, then starving. They
need money, and at this point, if the government is
not helping, they're gonna do whatever they got to feed
their family. So we just gotta be extra careful. I
tell it to my kids every day before they leave
the house. To tell her to my wife before she
leaves the house. Just be careful. Blessed that everybody was

(04:20):
safe and nobody got hurt. Yeah, amen to that. And
they ain't even take a banana. Nope, no fruits, that's
all you want. Said, he got four daughters, he got
to deal with it. Didn't take no fruit, was missing vegetables.
It just went great for the money. Somebody stole a
banana or the egg plane. We knew. We didn't know

(04:42):
exactly where to go. Why we know exactly where to go?
All right, Well, let's get the show cracking front page
is what we're talking about. Well, let's talk about Texas
and give some updates there. Some people are seeing electricity
bills for like seventeen thousand dollars. That is crazy. They
did a well she'll explain when we come back. I

(05:02):
had it a breakfast club goal. Wow rule man, I'm
not even mad at it. You know what I'm saying,
Come come, Dan, come in come here, come and say no, no, no, no,
they're gonna walk ahead. Just now talking about yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah we gay And then I was like, that's remix.
He was like, people been saying that. I'm like, who

(05:23):
is people? I've never heard those balls? Tell just now
I've jesus. Rice was yeah, yeah, yeah, we paid. All right,
but let's get us the front page news. What is
going on this morning? What we said Monday? Well, officials
in Texas are investigating some people who have outrageous energy bills.
One person said they got a seven thousand dollar bill

(05:43):
from his utility company. Another person said they had to
pay seventeen thousand dollars and there's nothing they could do
about it because it came right out of his account.
I guess he has direct payments set up. Now. The
way this is happening is that, for instance, there's a
one energy company called Gritty, and the way that they
provide the energy they charge market rate, and that market
rate varies depending on current power prices. Now, according to

(06:05):
their website, customers pay exactly the price that day buy
electricity at but because of the winter storm, their pricing
shot up. So in Texas you can choose to pay
for a fixed plan instead, and Gritty started to encourage
people to do that. But unfortunately, I don't know what's
going to happen. They are investigating. But shouldn't the build
people because they didn't have power for days? Now some

(06:27):
people still have power. These are people who had power. Oh,
it serves like you said, did the wholesale pricing and
it serves the seventeen thousand, ninhalistic. Can you imagine for
a couple of days now, a family of a boy
who died during the Texas winter storm is suing or
Cut and Entergy for one hundred million dollars that's their
power company. And they're saying it was gross and negligence.

(06:50):
The home had been without power since the Sunday before,
and their son died on Tuesday, Christian Pavon. And the
family is saying that obviously, you know, because of the
power not being available, that's why their sounded. He had hypothermia.
He had on a shirt, a sweater, two pairs of pants, socks,

(07:11):
two blankets. They tried to wake him up Tuesday afternoon.
He was unresponsive and they tried to call nine one one.
But now they're doing that's horrible. Who's the blame for this?
Is it the negligence of you know, the city that
they're in. Is it just you know, a coincidence because
of mother nature? Like the act of God. That's what

(07:31):
I'm saying, is an act of God. But I mean,
I guess they're saying that he should be people should
be prepared, but you can't prepare for everything. No, Well,
I think Texas has a whole different um the way
that their state operates. It's independent government, so that's kind
of what the problem is. And they had the opportunity
to change the system, but they never did, and that's

(07:52):
why all this is happening. Texas isn't sanctioned by the government.
What does that mean as far as power is concerned,
Like they have their own separate grid. That's if I'm right,
it's not sanctioned by the government government, So when it
goes out, it's pretty much on Texas to get it
back up and run it. Where every place house is
sanctioned by the government. Where they look at things and
they went to Rise and they're saying that Texas is
not on the same I didn't know that. Dam somebody

(08:13):
schooled me on that. I need to want I want
more of that information. Yeah, I think what they are
that they have something called er Kot, the RCOT soup.
You want to check that out, then you can see
what the whole situation is. They have a power grid
that's run by er Kot, and they said that's what
set them up for failure in that state. All right,
well that is your front page news. All right, get

Let's respect to his girl though. But you can still

All right, Let's talk about Adrian Brouner and Naomi Osaka
Wins over the weekend. All right, we'll get into that.
Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

(16:36):
She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with
Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well, there
were reports that four two Doug and Roddy Rich had
a video shoot in Atlanta and reportedly there was gunfire.
Three people were shot, according to WSBTV. Well four two

(16:56):
Doug and little Baby weren't live. And here's what they said,
man say, oh type of ho Hey one thing about
the internet asked a week at of time. Yeah, man,
y'all saw that fake man. We get around none of that.
I'm just glad he wasn't shot or nothing happened. Yeah.

(17:18):
At first they were trying to say that for too.
Doug was the one that got shot. He was in
critical condition, but as you can see he's fine from
the video that they posted. What they did say did
get shot though? Right, Yeah, they did say three people
got shot. All right, Now, let's discuss the fight over
the weekend. But this is a sanction fight. This was
Adrian Broner. He actually won this fight. And here's what

(17:39):
he had to say afterwards. How different will we see
now going forward? Like now are you going right back
to training? See that's the thing. See, that's the thing.
It is a different a B what happened was I
only had thirteen dollars coming into this mother fight. We
didn't flip that to about thirteen millions. So so so,
so a lot of things go change. Listen, I ain't
gonna lie for the rest of the weekend. We're gonna

(18:01):
pop bottles, cash checks and half sex. But on Monday,
it's black the kicking lass and hitting bags. Though, I'm
glad Abny Santiago with that unanimous decision. Yeah, I'm glad
Abe won his fight, even though the judges' scores were
way wider than the fight actually was. I'm glad he won. Though.
Abe is highly entertaining and um if Abe would have actually,
if he starts letting his hands go more and throws

(18:22):
more punches, he would have won that fight easily. But
he's still a little gunshot for some reason in that ring.
All right, those many punches he used to Now let's
talk about Naomi Osaka. She won the Australian Open and
in her victory speech she was talking to Jennifer Brady
and here's what went down. They try to say that
this was trolling, but it was a mistake. Listen to this.

(18:45):
I want to come, do you like to be called
Jenny or Jennifer. Okay, firstly, I want to congrat Jennifer
dropping the clues bombs from Naomio soccer. Look the winner. Okay,
when she's the winner, she can say and do what
she wants, all right, I prefer Jennifer. Is that okay

(19:05):
with you? Jenny? All right? I took socialmedian and said,
oh mg, no, but some sad and crying face emoji's
I promise you my mind thought I called her Jenny
in that moment, and I was so confused why the
crowd was laughing. I'm so sorry, not as sorry as Jennifer.
Was that Jenny Jenny. Now you know, GQ did a
Modern Lover's issue, and Naomi Osaki is of course dating Corday.

(19:30):
I guess formerly Ybing Corday, but just Corday now. And
he got candid about, you know, going through their relationship.
He didn't know she was as famous as she was,
and he said he attended the twenty twenty US open
and support of her, and he said, it's not my sport.
If you asked me about tennis before being immersed in it,
because of Naomi, I could only give you venus and
Serena Williams, you know, because they're just a part of
the culture. He said he felt really out of place

(19:51):
when he went to the twenty nineteen US Open to
support her. He said, I don't know if I ever
told Naomi this or not, but I felt really out
of place. He said that was his first tennis mat ever,
and he said that that was my first time being
in an environment like that in my entire life. My
elementary school, middle school, high school was ninety nine point
nine percent black kids who look like me. It just
felt really weird for me being in that space. That
was my first tennis match ever. Yeah. I don't watch

(20:14):
tennis either, but it's certain people you'll stop and watch,
right Like when Venus and Serena used to be on TV.
You'll stop and watch that. And I definitely ended up
watching um Naomi on Saturday night. It came on really late.
I didn't know what the hell was going on tennis,
but I stopped and watched. Tennis is actually a great game.
I played tennis as a kid. I worked at the U,
so me and my wife played tennis. Now it's great
for cardio. It's it's yeah, yeah, yeah, my kids play too.

(20:36):
I can see why you would like it. Men in
short shorts, a lot of balls going around. I could
totally see why. And you would enjoy that. He's even
dressed like a tennis ball this morning. That's well, it
sounds like you might take up the sport as well,
Charlotta Magne. No, no, no no. And by the way,
everybody who said tennis playing on athletes, they are goddamn lives.
It's a very athletic sport. You gotta do a lot

(20:57):
of cardio, you gotta have that upper arm ring yep,
and you gotta keep all right. Now, Young Blue gifted
Boosey Badass one hundred thousand dollars in cash for being
his first coach. So here's what it went like, right,
So a young Blue Boosey artist? Yeah is he? I

(21:19):
didn't think so? Yeah, yeah, he told us he was
Boosey's artist. So we're dropping a blue bomb with Boosey Badass.
Young Blue is a nice artist to have one your bell,
all right. Well that is your rumor report, all right,
thank you, missy. And then we got front page news
what we're talking about, Yes, and let's talk about a
whole school board who had to resign we'll tell you

(21:42):
what happened. All right, We'll get into that next. It's
the Breakfast Club morning, all right, morning, everybody is DJ
M v Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to
Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news when we're
starting you. Well, let's start with these new claims surrounding

(22:02):
Malcolm X's assassination. Now, this is a letter that was
written by a former NYPD officer on his deathbed, and
according to ray Wood, he said he was serving as
an undercover officer on the day of Malcolm X's death,
and he did say that he participated in actions that,
in hindsight, were deplorable and detrimental to the advancement of

(22:22):
my own people. According to his letter, he said, it
was my assignment to draw the two men into a
felonious federal crime. That was the two men that were
accused of assassinating Malcolm X. He said that he did
that so they could be arrested by the FBI and
kept away from managing Malcolm X's door security on February

(22:42):
twenty first. So what happened was Malcolm X didn't have
his regular security detail. These two men were accused of
planning to dynamite the Statue of Liberty and all kinds
of other things, and they were accused of being terrorists.
So because they were not available, that's how the FBI
was able to get in and kill Malcolm X at
Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom. Yeah, it's always amazed me that the

(23:07):
same government who took out every black leader and found
a way to dismand to every black organization during that time,
somehow convinced the world it was the NI who plotted
against an assassinated brother Malcolm Like just because Raywood's cousin,
who wrote the book The Raywood Story published earlier this month,

(23:27):
described his cousin to Good Morning America as a good
man that was tricked and forced to betray his own people.
He was a good man that was tricked and forced
to betray his own people, and he felt guilt and
remorse for that for fifty six years. Mm. Yeah, I

(23:48):
guess they told him that they were gonna pend all
these crimes on him if he told so. He actually
wrote that letter and gave his cousin to a permission
to release that while after he died. Once again, it's
always amazed me to same government who took out every
Black leader and found a way to dismantle every Black organization,
somehow convinced us it was the NI who plotted against
an assassinated brother Malcolm. Just because you can get a

(24:09):
person to flip on his own people doesn't mean you
blame the whole organization. It's Judas in our missed at
all times? Did Judas in the Black massile did not
teach us that? But once again, the same government Jed
Google in his game, took out every black leader and
found a way to dismantle every Black organization. When somehow
convinced us it was the NY who plotted against an
assassinated brother Malcolm. Yeah, three members of the NI were

(24:31):
convicted of his murder. So he said that if he
didn't follow these orders, he would end up getting threatened
with the rest by pinning marijuana and alcohol trafficking charges
if he didn't follow through with the signmons. The greatest
trick the devil level Pool was convincing the world he
didn't exist. This is what this situation was all right now.
An entire school board resigned after forgetting that their WebEx

(24:54):
call was public, So they were having a whole conversation,
not knowing that the recording was already going. And it
is the Oakland Union Elementary School District's Board of trustees,
and they were bad mouthing parents during this it's a video,
and one member said, are we alone? And then this happened.
If you're gonna call me out, I'm gonna up. And

(25:15):
they don't know what we arehind the scenes, and it's
really unfortunate. Exactly they want to pick on us because
they want their babysitter. Fact. Yeah, well I guess she said.
She said, if somebody complains, bitch, I'm gonna f you up.
And then she's saying they just want their babysitters back.
And they were saying all kinds of things. Were about

(25:36):
eight minutes, so all of them did end up resigning
because the parents were actually listening during this virtual board meeting.
Teachers should be allowed to vent, you know what I'm saying.
But a lot of people don't want their babysitters back.
They want their kids to be able to learn any
man about being a babysitter. I think it's yeah, I
don't know if you want those people on the board.
They don't understand. I think it's a combination of it all.

(25:57):
I think it's a combination of it all. Well babysitting,
I mean, come on, now, what you do want your
kids back in school so they can learn, But it
is good, it is good to get them out the
house too, for themselves as well, whatever however you want
to word it, for themselves, okay, but yes, And who's
looking out for the teachers at a time like this.
We just told the story last week about how they

(26:17):
were saying, you know, teachers should be vaccinated before they
go back into the schools. And we agree, right because
the teachers are high risk. Nobody, nobody cares about the
teachers right now, everybody, You'll get the kid back school,
get the kids back in school, But what about the teachers. Well,
you know, part of being on this school board, though,
is that you are supposed to listen and understand and
listen to both sides of things. So if you're on

(26:39):
the board and you're already saying I'm an f you
up if you if you try to call me out,
I don't know if I feel confident in that person
being on the board. I bet you things could get
done a lot faster and a lot to move if
they had real conversation. If that conversation no teachers were
having amongst each other, they could actually have. But you
don't know teacher saying I'm an F you up, don't
give that. Ain't gotta But they can still be allowed

(27:01):
to vent truthfully and honestly. They should be able to
say how they really feel about things except for the
f and your part, except for that. But guess what
we say that too, Like, boy, I teach that, teach
up if they do such and such to my child.
And I know it's a big concern for a lot
of parents who students aren't in school right now. It's
not the same as you guys have been saying learning online.

(27:22):
One parents said, I don't need a babysitter. I'm actually
a stay at home mom, but I do want my
child back in school. Yeah, it sucks. I feel so
sorry for my oldest daughter because she's twelve and she
had to spend half her sixth grade jail on the zoom.
Now it's a mixture of both. Zoom a couple hours
and you got to go to school, Like that's just
that's not right for them kids. I can't sit on
the zoom for an hour so imagine a kid staying

(27:44):
on there the whole day to learn. It's almost impossible.
I saw this college professor get frustrated because he was
talking to a kid. He didn't realize the kid was deaf,
and so he's thinking the kids just being slow and
not paying him no attention and not responding him fast enough.
So he got upset. It's just like, come on, man,
zoom is difficult for everybody, is all right? Well that
is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss

(28:06):
ye teachers, Now you have to the teacher being The
story of the teacher that uses from heroin. His name
is Carl Hart. He's from Columbia University. He's a professor
of psychology and neuroscience and he's a He chairs the
psych department, and he has a fondness for heroin. What
do you mean? Yeah, he thinks we should legalize drugs.

(28:26):
He said it helps him maintain a work life balance
and it should be legal for everyone. Well, even more
than that, he put out a book called Drug Use
for Grown Ups, Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear,
and he says there aren't many things in life that
he enjoys more than a few lines by the fireplace.
At the end of the day, his words verbat him.
He said, heroine leaves him refreshed and prepared to face

(28:47):
another day. Okay. Now, he's already worked legally with drugs,
including marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. For more than twenty five years,
he studied drug users, and he's been seeking to answer
questions about the threats that drugs posed to mental and
physical health. They said, for most of that time, he
wanted to prove that point that drugs are bad. Now
he wants to be able to do them legally, and
he said you can too. He said, heroin is as

(29:08):
recreational as alcohol using. No, it's not. By the way,
I've never seen somebody talk about a drug binge so eloquently. Right,

that you know you get the help that you deserve, because,
whether you know it or not, you are addicted to meth. Sir,
yes you are. I'm worldly, but that's so crazy because
most people I wish you I do. The first sign
of addiction is denied, right, So when a person tells
you that they know they have a problem, where you
go from there? But I hope, I hope people do
wake up and try to get the help that they need,

the Breakfast Club. Come on there, call me your opinions

(35:55):
to the Breakfast Club. Time come one morning. Everybody is
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are to
Breakfast Club, Naphew just joined us. We're talking about doctor
Carl Heart. I believe that's his name, Yes, car Heart.
Carhart is a is a. He's a he's a university
professor of psychology and neuroscience at Columbia University, and he

(36:19):
has a fondness for heroin. Right, so we're asking out
there is there anybody else else out there that uses
hard drugs to get by because Carl says heroin helps
with his work life balance. He says, it's just like alcohol.
It's just like a vacation. I don't agree, but to
each his own. Hello, ma'am, Yes, what's your name? Okay? Anmous?

(36:42):
What's your drug of choice? Um? I'm microdo mushrooms every day?
What is microdose or mushrooms? I take a piece of
a mushroom every day. And this is called the Keenist plan.
Now see, I don't know if that's I mean, listen,
I'm not no expert, but to me, shrooms a plant
based medicine, you know, doing a micro dose of it

(37:04):
every day. I think even some doctors prescribe that in
some cases. I don't know if that's the same as meth, cocaine, crack.
Hell no, no it's not. How does that make you feel?
How does it make you feel when you take it?
It's as not addictive. It keeps you focused, focused. I
work from home and it keeps me focused. I could
put things in perspective. Okay, keep me right, all right?

(37:27):
How often do I the day? To you head? Then
anything anything you said? You do it every day? So
what happens if you don't do it? No, no, like
I can't keep you know, I guess I not a

(37:49):
little OCD or I just can't stay focused. So you
feel like little Mario. You don't feel like big Mario. Hello,
was this Paul from Brooklyn? Man? What's your drug of choice? Bro? Heroin?
He Wow? How long have you been using heroin? And
how often do you use it? Um? Every day? Part

(38:12):
of that back from that again, so oh you was
you was in the army? Yeah, brother, you need therapy. Brother,
you need therapy. You need to be sitting down with
somebody trying to figure out what's going on with you,
probably because you got trauma from the war. Rightfully, So
drugs ain't the answer, you, greeting to a quietment, I
quickly agree. I actually had a doctor to the time

(38:34):
that people could use her when without all the social
that comes with your phone breaking up? Bro, I can't
you're going out? You said you spoke to a doctor
and he said that if people could use heroin without
being judged. Was that what you were saying, brother, social
economic consequences ninety percent of the population. Really, Well, you know,

(38:56):
heroin did used to be legal until nineteen twenty four.
I've never seen any functioning heroin users. The heroin uses
I know are the people with the needles in their
arms and they, you know, not even awake ninety percent
of the time. Like, I don't even know how you
can be a functioning heroin att itt. Like you know
the aspen bear that used it used to be called

(39:16):
heroin until they change the name, really, but it was
it was it heroin in it yeah, and they actually
used to put it in cough medicine everything. Do you
have a job, sir, yes, I do. What do you
are on garbage truck? Do you want help her? I've
been in and out of treatment several times? Or what
people feel? Understand that when you go through something I do.

(39:39):
I do, I know any therapy but finances and times.
But you go through traumatic experience that I've been through
it and didn't grow up the way I grew up.
I grew up in a rough city. Yeah, and so
when you grow up that way and then you find
something that allows you to have peace and be able
to function, it's hard to let that thing go, you know.

(40:00):
And uh, you see it now. You see it now
with a lot of young people that hooked on purpose
sets and stuff, like you know, they're not on that
stuff because the party and they hooked on that stuff
because they're hurting on the inside. Absolutely, well, listen, my brother,
we we're gonna start like this. I'm gonna give you
six months free therapy courtesy of talk Space. You know

(40:21):
what I'm saying. O S Records and Toby are providing that.
And you know, we're gonna get your phone number, man,
and see if we can, you know, get you on
the right path to get away from them drugs and actually,
you know, get some more holistic type of healing because
them drugs ain't gonna do it for you. Brother. I
could curl you, hold on, brother, get his information and

(40:42):
then make sure he gets the talk space and all that.
That's what process is no joke either. I'm sure I
can imagine. What's the moral of the story. The moral
of the story. We need car Hard on the goddamn show. Okay.
Car Hard actually reached out, said Eddie, we just we
just saw the email. Because when I saw the story,
I told Eddie, Sai, check U see if you got
an email from car Heard, since he has this book
out drug used for growing up, Chasing Liberty in the

(41:03):
Land of Fear, Because I really want to have a
conversation with a car because maybe I'm missing something here.
But you know, I just don't see how telling people
that that that heroin use is okay recreationally is good
for our society and our culture. I don't see how.
But I'm open for the discussion. All right, Now, we
got rooms all the way, Yes, intence, we're talking about therapy.

(41:24):
Let's talk about Lakeith Stanfield. Now, you know there were
some issues with Charlemagne and Lakeith Stanfield. And he also
talks about how he needed therapy after filming Judas and
the Black Messiah. He needs it, He definitely needs it.
That brother needs some healing. You gonna send it keeps
some healing energy this morning. All right, we'll get into
that next. It's the Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ

(41:47):
Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club.
Good morning. I didn't realize there were so many people
doing so much hard drugs and just going on about day,
regular everyday life. People are really that's how they crisis. Yeah,
but I'm saying people are really just out here high
amongst us. Yeah, I mean, and it's scary because you
don't know if these people are driving your kids to

(42:08):
school every day. You don't know, if they're teaching your kids.
You don't know if they're in the hospitals giving you
shots and taking care of your hearts. And the problem
is that a lot of people that are buying drugs
off the street, they don't even know what's in them.
That is true too. Yeah, I like to ghost shop
where my drugs are organic. I like going I like
organic drugs. My goodness and shout to the brothers of

(42:29):
Arnia Legia, the Earnia Lesia pod Troy Amna season. I
actually gonna jump on their podcast later on today. They
reached out so love what they do and they just
talk every aspect of financial freedom, not just real estate,
not just stocks and bonds, just trying to give people
options of what they can do to make money and

(42:50):
to be entrepreneurs. So we're gonna talk to them today
about some real estate stuff. That two of the most
necessary voices that we have in our culture. And they
actually hit number one on the business charts, which is
big because you know the business charts on Apple and
podcasting are always dominated by white people. That what's the
new name? Ramsey Dave Ramsey, Gordon Ramsey. I don't remember

(43:11):
one in Ramsey he's always number one, but Arnie Leisia
hitting number one this weekend. So salute through a shot
in Troy, and make sure you check out the Earni
Leisure podcast on the Black Effect. iHeartRadio podcast network available
whatever you listen to podcasts, right, And you know what
I've been having fun with. I've been trading stocks on
this app called Public but I really like it because
it's like a Twitter feed inside of it. So there's

(43:33):
all these like financial experts and regular people just talking
about what stocks they bought and why, and like all
this great information and articles. Even this morning before I
got on here, I was buying some stocks in the
real real. Okay that it is good because if you're
not really that good at it, you're trying to learn,
it gives you like a lot of information and then
people are telling you what they're doing, and you can
converse with other people about what they bought and why,

(43:55):
and it's been it's actually really fun. That's why financial
literacy it's so important. That's why what Ernie Legia is
doing it's so important. Financial literacy is the key love
what they're doing, and don't forget. Next hour, Bradley Bill
will be joining us talking about a new app that
he's doing. So we'll kick with Bradley Bill, the highest
scoring player in the league. I think he still leading

(44:18):
the league in scorer. Yeah, we'll chop it up with
him next hour. Now, we got rumors on the way. Yes,
Kim Kardashian has officially filed for divorce from Kanye West.
We knew this was coming, so we'll tell you about
it because you know there is a prenup. All right,
we'll get into that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come
on listen. Oh gosh, it's Breakfast Club. Well. Nick Cannon

(44:46):
is back on the air. You know, he had a
lot of controversy after some anti Semitic comments, and he
has since apologized. He also had lost his relationship with
Viacom CBS, but they have also renewed his Nick Cannon's
billing out and refresh that situation. So it looks like
everything is falling back into place. This all happened June
thirtieth on that episode of his podcast, Cannon's Class, So

(45:09):
now everything's coming back together for him. Dropping a clue
bomb from Nick Cannon drop the goddamn bomb, Drama computers
just being just hating on Nick Cannon sloth to my guy,
Nick Cannon man. Yeah, she's glad to see Nick back
in position. FO you all right, And Kim Kardashian has
filed for divorce from Kanye best. We all know this
is coming. You dropped a bomb for that. No, it

(45:32):
wasn't a drum. We are to you, drama. Oh my gosh,
you've been really acting funny all morning. Okay, don't want
it to loot the black man getting put back in position.
But the black man I got a divorce. You drop
a bomb for it. I don't like this narrative that
you guys are putting on. Narrative. It's the truth, all right. Well,
Kanye and Kim were married for almost seven years, but
they're saying that divorce is very amicable. There's a pren up.

(45:52):
Not the party is contesting that pren up, and they
were already pretty far along and reaching a property settlement agreements.
So listen, Kardashians, email you directly when you report this
kind of stuff, or you're getting this from secondhand sources.
These are, of course secondhand sources, but you know we know,
I don't feel like Kanye's making any comments. Feels like

(46:12):
this is all coming from Dash Kardashian genner side. And
the reason we can say this with the ut most
confidence because we've all been in radio for a long
time and we all remember the days when the Kardashians
were feeding out let's like media takeout and everybody else
because people forgetting Kim broke. Kim broke amongst the blacks.
First she broke with US magazine and she was all

(46:34):
on media takeout. Before you know, she got embraced by
the main stream. I guess whatever, all right now, Lakeith
Stanfield hasbervelled. He went to therapy to help manage panic
attacks that he had experienced about filming Judas and the
Black Messiah. Of course, he portrays FBI informant William O'Neill
in that movie. He said he found playing the role
of bad guys so mentally and physically taxing that he

(46:57):
actually ended up seeking help. He told level H in
the Seamer he had to poison Fred Hampton. He said,
a lot of it didn't end up making it to
the final cut, but we shot me mixing it in koolaid,
and I had to go through all those emotions, and
so he said, with somebody like Daniel, who I just
respect as a human and then an artist as Fred Hampton,
it felt like I was actually poisoning Chairman Fred Hampton.
And so if you recall when Daniel Coolie was on

(47:21):
the Breakfast Club, Charlemagne and Daniel were talking about Lakistan
fielding this happened. Did you find yourself looking at lukeif
differently after the way he played this role because he
did it too well? Still be Charlemagne, that's that, what's it?
I never had an issue with him. I do feel
like he was born to play this role. Though I
think we're not having that. We're not having that, we're

(47:43):
not having that. What is yet in this film he
makes the biggest sacrifice because in order to show you
what Chairman Fred is, you have to show him what
he isn't And you can't see the light without the dark,
that's right you under saying. And he served that and
he put himself in a light that's not the politics
at tool and it was really tough on him on
certain days. I mean, he was really going through it.
By the way, My initial question wasn't uh meant to

(48:04):
be shady at all, Like I truly meant that the
same way you would ask an actor. Was it hard
to shake that character after you finished filming for the
co stars, especially Daniel who played the role of Fred
Hampton and Keith playing William O'Neill, who ultimately got Fred
Hampton killed, did Daniel find himself looking at dude? So
I don't back down? Now, go back down, keep going.

(48:25):
You what happened next wasn't The second part was destly
shady though that you felt like he was born to
play this role was a warranted jab though, because I
have a piece of advice for Lakeith, and it's simple,
don't dish it if you can't take it. King the
brother has a bad habit of throwing rocks and hiding
his hands. And somebody also talked about the mental trauma

(48:47):
that he went through playing this role, so I'm sure
that hit him differently. We're not gonna but let me
let's me. So he he posted that clip and he said,
this is what hoes. Dude get sung by the reality.
Get off me, bro, you are lame. Daniel, ain't an idiot.
Leave me be dog and find somebody else. And then
he also posted a video of himself and he's like, um,
bang bang, he won. He's waving He's waving a gun

(49:10):
at a picture of me. Call it what it is.
He's waving a gun at a picture of me. But
once again, this is yet another example of Lakeith being
able to dish it, but he can't take it because
he's made comments about the Breakfast Club and other black
outlets being anti black, being negative, reinforcing negative stereotypes of
black people. That was back in twenty nineteen. I gave
him donkey today for that and pointed out all the

(49:30):
times he's going on these white people's platforms and reinforce
negative stereotypes of black people himself. I left it alone
after that. Lakeith did the whole reply video. He did
a this song. He put my face on the cover
of the song and have me with the sambo lips.
I didn't respond to any of that, but I gave
him a little jab during the interview, A dang bang,
that's all I'm gonna say. It's bang bang. I owed
him that, and that was light. He sli But what

(49:52):
Lakeith does he gets online and he plays the victim.
He makes it seem like I'm always coming at him,
but he does that all the time. When he made
comments about Ambler's head last year and got backlash, he
got online and said he can say what he wants
and nobody's gonna force him into not saying what he wants.
All good, But if you're gonna have that energy of
saying what you want, don't play victim when people say
something back. That's all. I'm scared. I'm listening. I'm terrified. No,

(50:16):
I'm frightened. I am. I am terrified. I see an
individual that doesn't look like he's in the right mental space,
holding a weapon, a gun and flashing that Uh no,
was that a doll in front of him? This man's face.
Pray for that brother, Lukith Stanfield. I want that brother
to get the healing he deserves. He's clearly crying out

(50:38):
for help, and he's been crying out for help for
a long time. It's all funny games, laughs and reposts
until that brother hurts himself, So don't laugh for him.
Pretty laugh he did. He did publicly say that he
has to go through therapy after playing that role, so
I'm sure he has a lot going on. So, yes,
Luki Stamfield, we are praying for your strength and talking

(50:58):
about that is true. But once again, and he loves
the dish it, but he can't take it. Stop posting
and deleting. Stop acting like you the victim. If you're
gonna say what you want, deal with the repercussions. That's all.
That's all. That's all I got to say about it,
because I'm terrified of the Keith. He's too tough for me.
You want to TikTok waving a gun in my picture.
I don't want no problems. That is your real plaints.

(51:21):
I'm scared, I'm done whatsoever. I'm I'm I'm nervous, all right,
stop it, man, not real. Pray for that brother man, seriously,
that's nicey all right? Who give me that don with you?
We need Michael Abram to come to the front of
the congregation. We like to have a world within place,
all right. We'll get into that next. Keep a lock

(51:43):
this to breakfast Club. Come on there you are. I'm
gonna fatten all that shit around your eye. I want
this man to blows for Charlemagne, who was going to

(52:06):
be on the donkey of the day. They chose you
because the breakfast club bitches, who's Donkey of the Day
to Day Wow Donkey of Today for Monday, February twenty
second goes to Michael Abram. Who is Michael Abram. He
is a professor at Oxnard College, and he has been
placed on administrative leave for harshly criticizing a student. Now,
let the record show this story is exactly why Homer

(52:28):
Simpson makes this noise. Yes, okay, this story is exactly
why Homer Simpson backed away slowly into the bushes. Okay. See,
some of us just read rooms wrong. Some of us
don't read the room at all. I would say Michael
Abram didn't read the room at all, because if he did,
he would know his students a little better. See, Michael

(52:49):
Abram was chastising one of his students, badgering his student
because he thought his student wasn't listening to him. He
thought his student was ignoring him. He thought this student
wasn't paying attention. He thought this student wasn't listening. But
that was not the case. Let's go to ABC seven
for the report. Police professor at Oxtard College is suspended

(53:10):
under investigation after TikTok videos appear to show him yelling
at a student with hearing loss, Miss Salazar. I've been
talking to you, Miss Salazar a little bit. You can
hear me a little bit. Why didn't you answer all
the times I answered? I spoke to you. Then you
have your counselor speak with me, because you've got too
much distraction to even understand what's going on. Right do

(53:31):
because my trends lators make to me explaining everything. Okay,
just have them teach you the whole class. That makes
sense to me. I don't know. I don't understand it,
but I see you laughing and smiling and giggling with
somebody else. At one point, a fellow student steps into
help professor. She's absolutely hard of hearing because her translator

(53:53):
goes in a live cat respond like right away. She's
not paying attention, she's not trying that. Professor Michael Abram,
who has tenure at the school, has been placed on
administrative leaves pending an investigation. Want to get away? Yeah,
in case you don't understand she's deaf. She can't hear you, Michael. Okay,

(54:15):
this is worth than when you make a your mama
joke and the person tells you that their mom is dead.
That never happened anybody in this room by hand. If
that's never happened, Lord, have mercy looking at all these
problematic individuals me envied dramas. My god, I don't think
even Homer Simpson has done something that's dumb. And Home
has been around for thirty years and he's done a
lot of dumb things. But what makes this even worse

(54:36):
is even after the professor is told that the student
has a translator and that the student is hard at hearing,
he answers, she's not paying attention, she's not trying. This
whole situation got me thinking, who really can't hear in
this situation is that the student ought to teach him
Because once the teacher heard that this student had a
translator and was hard of hearing, the only thing that

(54:57):
that should have came after that wasn't a ology. That's
it an apology and a whole lot of empathy. But no,
that's not the way d head momentum works. See Dick
Tracy had. Momentum is when a person can't stop theirselfs
they tried, even when they know they are wrong, they
just keep pushing all right. In fact, they double down,

(55:19):
triple down, press the gas, throw more fuel on the
Dick Vandyke head fire, and that's what keeps the d
head momentum going. And then eventually that d head momentum
causes whatever it's propelling to crash and burn. Now, Michael
Abram has been put on administrative leave, and if I
was the boy, I would act like I couldn't hear
him when he tries to get reinstated. Excuse me, say

(55:39):
what you want to come back where? Huh? We can't
hear you, Michael, but I hope you hear this. Please
let m give Michael Abram the biggest he hall he ha,
he ha. You stupid mother, fre you dumb. That's just
cruel and unusual punishment, bro, especially after you find out
what the issue is with this person and you keep pushing.

(56:01):
You're not gonna play a game? Do you want to
play a game? Okay, all right, let's play a game.
Then let's play a game of Jess what race today?
That tissue I'm hot over here, God dam white, hid
in the room. Hemb me that tissue. Hem in the
clinic to clean talking to you, right to the clinic.
It's right by you into it, bro anyway. Michael Abram,

(56:23):
professor at Oxford College, in California, was on his zoom.
Didn't realize his student was deaf. Jess, what race today? White?
Why do you say white? Which I got to say.
I heard all in his attitude, all of the way
that he's talking and that he's speaking seems a little privileged.

(56:45):
So I'm going with white. M Okay, okay, Angelae. Michael Abram,
professor at Oxford College in California, was on his zoom.
Didn't realize his student was deaf. Jess, what race? I'm
gonna say Caucasian. Also, it's just feels like, wow, what what? What?

(57:06):
What is it about it? Is it the arrogance? Yes,
it feels like he needs some of that Coca cola training. No,
the Coca cola training was maybe? Is it the arrogance?
Is it the defensiveness? Is it the ignorance? The fact
he needed to be more humble? What was it that
makes y'all say white with such confidence? Um? All of
the above, it's like condescending. Okay, okay, okay, Well dj N,

(57:28):
guess what you're both correct? Michael Abram, Hey, I knew it.
I knew it, all right, Well, thank you for that
donkey of the day. Now, when we come back. Bradley
Bill will be joining us right. He has a new
Washington Wizards play in the league this year, and we're

(57:49):
gonna be talking about this new app. It's Bradley Bill
and Sean Guns. We gonna talk to them both when
we come back, So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club,
God Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlemagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests on the line this morning.
We have Bradley Beale and Sean Gun. Welcome fellas. Morning.

(58:14):
Now y'all here to day to talk to us about
an initiative called Play. What is play play with two els.
Play is a platform we've created that allows for one
v one wagering on video games, and we built some
proprietary technology that makes it super simless and easy for
gamers to make money off of their their skill levels.

(58:34):
Part of that initiative is we want to open up
the early investment opportunity to not just gamers, but people
in the Latin X and African American community to have
access to a high valued, high potential tech company. And
so we've been a crowdsourcing campaign that allows for that.
Brad's early investor in the platform. We saw division over
a year ago and we're here to day to talk

(58:57):
about that. So it's a betting organization. Monetization you like
that better? Yeah, exactly? Is that even legal? Can you
do that? Bright? I mean, if they're doing it? Yeah, yeah,
so says brand As. We spend a lot of money
on a lot of lawyers. But the short story is
under the skill based wagering laws in the US UM federally,

(59:19):
that is that is possible for players to wager on
their own skill levels on as they're playing. So you
can't bet on someone else's match that you're not participating in.
But there is a small set of states that have
taken their own position, so we don't operate in every state.
There's a subset about ten states that we don't operate in.
Most of the country is available to You could bet
on yourself and so you and I envy You and

(59:40):
I could play Call of Duty on our platform um
and and wager twenty bucks, for instance, and at the
end of the match, we score that fund will unlock it.
Our AI watches the match by using Twitch and YouTube
and other platforms. UH and so we make it super
easy for you to kind of play with Fiat current
and see a real cash and win that money and

(01:00:02):
within seconds. Now, what's the most it can go? Because
this is great especially for kids. Well, I can say
for kids, for people that playing my kids NBA two
K or play football like, this is great. What's the
highest you can go? Is there a limit? Is there cap? Yeah?
So we put a self cap of about five hundred
dollars per hand or per match if you will. Right
over time, as we get more data, we'll lift that
cap or have a high value kind of VIP section

(01:00:25):
if you will. You bring up a good point though,
I want to mention you know, because of those skill
based wagering laws, you need to be eighteen to participate,
and so we have age verification ID verification belt baked
into the platform so we can kind of keep miners out.
Mister Bill averaging thirty three point one point the game
this year. What made you want to get involved in

(01:00:47):
this in play? For one, because one, Shan's a black,
black black entrepreneur that's first and foremost. And two it
was a promising like concept that hasn't touched the face
of the market, like so for me, you know, it's
always big to be able to get get ahead of something.
So this is a startup essentially. And Sean I had

(01:01:09):
we met through a mutual friend, but basically when they
gave me the pitch, like, I take a business like approach,
So if you have a legit business plan, you know
how we can put the money in. Who else is involved?
But I even went a little bit further than that
and just did a background on Sean, did the background
on Christine and just seeing what they what they've done

(01:01:31):
in the past. Sean's worked with nap to Kia, you know,
he's been there before. C K has worked with fan duels,
so she understands the wager ink industry a little bit too.
So you put them together, they have a good basis,
a good foundation for an app or a startup. So
for me, um, you know, I love video games like

(01:01:51):
everybody else in the world, and I love to wager
two so I love casinos. I love betting. Granted we
can't bet on sports. I don't bet on sports either
that alone, but as a kid, you know, and as
a young man growing up in the world, it's like, Okay,
what's something here that's really cool that nobody else has,
and you know, what can we bring to the market

(01:02:12):
that everybody can feed off of? Like coronavirus just hit.
This is picture perfect all we were doing with sitting
in the house shacked up playing video games, you know.
So now it's like, okay, how can we make that
even more fun? Now you put your money where your
mouth is and the whole concept of everything is what
really just ultimately lured me in. And honestly, it was
kind of a risk, big risk factor and everything because

(01:02:34):
it being an early startup, you know, there's any You're
an investor yourself, so you understand, Okay, there's a possibility
it may fail as a possibility may take off. But
that was a risk I was willing to take in
this opportunity. I got a question, you know, with two
questions actually one, what's the percentage that the app gets?
Because they're actually paying like you're playing in a like
the app is a lawyer, Like they're holding the money

(01:02:55):
in their scroll and then release it. So what's the
percentage that the app gets? And is there anything to
say Let's say Bradley's been playing NBA two K for
ten years now I'm a new kid. You know, you
don't see face to face, and this new kid bets
and has no ideas the tiers to what you can't
play and what you can't play. Yeah, so a couple
of things. On the percentage, we take a different approach.

(01:03:16):
We think that users should win the entire pot, and
so we created won't get into the full details, but
a play token and you buy play tokens as your
entry fee to the match, and so that way we
keep the revenue pot clean. So when you and I
bet twenty dollars into that match, like other platforms you've
seen across sports, wager and they'll take ten fifteen percent

(01:03:37):
of that, we give you that entire pot. So that's
a big advantage to the users. On the skill level.
The AI we've created that a tech we've created is
ingesting or collecting how well you play certain games and
also how much you wageer, what is your kind of
wager habits right, and so over time you'll see us
create skilled tiers and pot tiers if you will, so

(01:03:59):
that envy, you won't take all my money. And you
know NBA two K because you're you played that all
the time, and you your big whale in that sport, right,
and so we have different verticals of those sports. So
the day we have NBA two K maddened Football, Call
of Duty, Fortnite and FIFA Soccer and we'll release more
and more games across the year. All right, when we
come back, we got more. With Bradley Bill and showing guns.

(01:04:21):
Don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody
is DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
the breakfast club. We have Bradley Bill and his partner
showing gun Shelma. Some people would say, why even invest, Bradley,
you got it. You gotta guaranteed one hundred and twenty
seven million dollars coming to you over the next few years.

(01:04:41):
Why even invest? Just save your money, brad He's a bird,
by the way, I don't know if you know that.
He's a bird. He's all in your pockets. He's a bird.
But sell me to kind of another man, you know,
kind of the man money. But for me. You know,
everybody sees the one twenty, but they don't realize half
of that's taken. Yep, you know, half of that's taken.
So what I said earlier, Black people, we don't have

(01:05:03):
that generational wealth. You know, my family damnshure didn't happen.
So I have an opportunity now to rack up on
my contracts. And granted I have to play at US
extremely howgh level to do so, but that's an opportunity,
okay for me to take their money and apply it
for life after basketball. I have two beautiful little boys,
a wife, and now I have to think about them,
think about okay, how can I make sure that my

(01:05:26):
kids don't have to go to college or that their
college is already paid for, you know. And so it's
it's being able to create that that foundation, that basis,
and that discipline. Because it's athletes, black athletes. Everybody says
all they don't how to take care of money. They're
spend it on dumping stuff. They don't know how to
invest bad investments, you know. So it's a it's a
learning experience. It's education, you know. For me, I just

(01:05:48):
take the time I get on Google, I educate myself.
I'm going back to school this summer. You know. It's
you have to be able to do the dirty work.
You got to be able to get your you know,
get your mind into it and be able to learn
these things because it will pass you up. And what
are your money? What are you major in when you
go back to college. I'm just curious being in the
business of basketball, being in this world where you know
everything is about money and investing. I've learned that. Okay,

(01:06:10):
I have to get a business major, so I'll probably
major in business administration, finished out at the University of Florida.
But it's it's it's being able to create that foundation,
that basis and understanding. I haven't I have an opportunity
to be able to create so much money for not
only myself, with my family, and impact a lot of
lives around me too. Yeah, I don't see you going
back to college after this season. The way you carrying

(01:06:33):
the Wizards on your back this season, You're gonna be tired.
You ain't gonna school. You need a vacation. We're gonna
say one class at the time. One. How can you
identify startup companies worth investing in during the early stages,
because you know, when you when you got a base
salary of twenty eight million dollars, you're gonna make this year.
I know people come at you all the time. You

(01:06:57):
go again for me, It's like I said earlier, it's
a risk. But granted, I'm I know, I'm I understand.
I'm in a different position than a lot of other
you know, black people and people who may be considering investing.
And but at the same time, you know, I put
in what I think is a good amount that can

(01:07:19):
help the group. But I also think I can make
a solid return on you know, so I'm not going
to just come in and just oh man, I'm falling
in love with your idea. Here's three million dollars. Like,
I don't invest like that. Like granted, I run it
through a team, I study it, I look at Okay,
what is your competition on the market. Is there anything
else that's going to be created like this? You know,
what is your future projections? Like what do you look

(01:07:41):
like as a company? Do you plan on selling down
the road? Like I ask a million questions before I
get involved. And so, you know, when they give you
your pitch deck, you know, you go through the deck.
It's easy to just fall in love with something, but
it has to be a good field. And for me,
it was also something that I was interested in. You know,
I don't just invest in something that I have absolutely
no interest in or you know, just because somebody or

(01:08:03):
Uncle Joe says, oh, this is the new how to sting. Uh,
you know, throw some money into this. You know, you can't,
you can't operate like that. And I think that's where
a lot of us, you know, as athletes and celebrities
get our get our bad names and bad investments because
we don't necessarily educate ourselves, you know, or the amount
of money that we throw into it it's too much,
you know, or not the right amount to where you know,

(01:08:23):
you kind of shoot yourself in the foot. On the
back end, Well, what sports game is gonna be included
in play? So today it's uh NBA two K man football,
FIFA soccer. Right, those are some of the biggest video
games sports based titles on the planet. And then there's
many more. Right, there's racing games right that are taking
up huge popularity, in particular in Europe. As we move international,

(01:08:47):
um and uh, you know, we'll look at others UFC,
you know, boxing, all those things are at our capabilities
and we can spend up a new game with our
technology within a week to two weeks. So it's really
easy for us to kind of create that new opportunity. Well,
mister Bill, what team do you like to play with
for an NBA two K one? Oh? Man, if it

(01:09:08):
ain't number three with the Wizards, Man, I am not
playing that game, so you all can have to play.
I have to use myself myself. It feels weird using
somebody else selfishly. I'm selfish. Have you any other NBA player,
I don't say myself. Have you ever traded trade about
being on video games? Have you ever traded yourself on

(01:09:30):
the game, And if so, what team did you go to?
What team did you put yourself on? Bradley, I think you.
I think you. I think you would be a good
fit on the Warriors on two K one. I think
a lot of people. I think a lot of people
would like that. Oh man, you're trying to get me

(01:09:51):
hung up right here. I mean, I'm respecting the wishes.
They told us not to ask about any potential NBA trade,
So I'm gonna respect that. I'm just my video game.
But if you were playing a video game, and would
I do, I think it'll be it'll be open market.
I don't know. I don't know. We're going to the

(01:10:11):
highest bidder at that point. Okay, if we're on a
video game, we're going to highspital. Okay, you know, you
know it seems like on paper to with it should
have a squad, though, like, like, what's the problem? You think?
Why I haven't the with Its been successful so far
this season? Oh man? It's consistency, you know, being with
with any job you do, you know, you put the

(01:10:31):
work in and you gotta believe in your craft. And
at the same time, you know, you gotta practice good
habits over and over and over a game, you know,
and we're doing that. We COVID kind of hit us
early on, so we had a lot of We had
like seven of our players that had it, so we
didn't have half of our team. Granted is no excuse
in this league, but we just couldn't get our continuity

(01:10:53):
in our consistency together. And granted we just came off
two good wins, so we're showing signs of it. And
you know, I think in order to be a good team,
great team, you know, it's that consistency to do the
same thing over and over again. Don't get bored with success?
Are you happy? Yeah? Mappy take a lot to take
a lot to not make me happy. Granted, everybody wants

(01:11:14):
to win, but winning in this league is hard, you know,
and like you know the cliche saying grass isn't always
green on the other side, but there are opportunities you
never know. Um, So I just love to grind it
out through adverse times. But granted, I understand that my
career doesn't last forever. I understand my prime doesn't last forever.

(01:11:35):
So I keep everything in mind in this short side.
For sure, do you want to stay? Yeah? Yeah, but
ultimately I want to win, So, like I said before,
I keep everything short sided. You know, I definitely you
know understand the position we ran, the moves we made
in the offseason, and you know, you just keep every

(01:11:55):
Washington Wizard just cut him off? See that? Damn Sean?
Who cut Who cut him off? Sean was after too
many NBA questions? You were worn, Charlotte Bane, Damn it man,
we got cut off? Well? How did they? How do
how do we get involved with play Sean? Yeah? Absolutely
so if you want to just game and download the app,

(01:12:17):

go to our ig page play dot m e um

(01:12:38):
Michael Ventures. Bradley were just saying goodbye. We figured the
NBA cut you off until you was going too deep
in it. Yeah, I think they heard me. I think
they had me tap tap. I'd be some chap were
brad and deal show. We appreciate you brothers for checking in.
We appreciate it, brothers. Thank you. You do not have
one hundred twenty million dollars Wi Fi brand. That is

(01:13:00):
a fact. You don't let me live cool man. Thanks please,
Happy Monday morning, everybody, Breakfast club. Let's get to the rule.

(01:13:23):
Let's talk Bobby's murder. This is the rumor report with
Angela Well. According to reports, Bobby's murder is supposed to
be released tomorrow, so his mom, Leslie Poler, told TMZ

(01:13:43):
that once he's released from prison, he'll enjoy an intimate
dinner with his family, and she said she is counting
down the hours until her son is release. He's been
locked up since twenty fourteen and his conditional release was
bumped up to February twenty third, tomorrow, that's ten months early.
They also said he will be on parole until twenty
twenty six. I can't wait to see what, you know,
Bobby's murder, Roddy Revel, the whole GS nine due now. Musically. Yeah,

(01:14:08):
they're saying that he came home this morning, that he
was released this morning. So I don't know if that's
true or not. I saw a video he posted kind
of alluding to the fact that six hours ago, Yeah,
that he might have been home. I don't know all
right now. Jay Z and LVMH which is Louisva Tamowat
Hennessey our joining forces and that is for a Champagne.
They're taking a fifty percent stake in armand de Bernyanc

(01:14:30):
which is as Spade, And here is Jay Z on
CNBC why Moat. You know, they just was aligned in
out thinking and thoughts and you know the way they
care about products and creating products. You know, when we
built Armand from the ground up, you know, we wanted
to do things right. Integrity of it had to be right.
So you know, when we build luxury products, whether it
be from rock nation to monogram to whatever we building.

(01:14:53):
We building luxury products and more. Hendency goes about it
the same way. So we were aligned in and out
thought of integrity and passion for the things that we build.
Dropping the clues bombs with Sir Carter from Brooklyn, big business,
big partnership, hold on one hundred percent of a Spade
sold fifty percent one of the biggest, if not the biggest, champagne,
wine and spirit houses. So not only did he get

(01:15:15):
a big bag, he still has fifty percent ownership and
that partnership with Moyd Hennessey is gonna make Ace Spade
even bigger and way more profitable. Yeah a big deal. Yeah,
I mean IBMH is the world's biggest producer of champagne.
So yes, that's a big, big deal. Sean Carter is
one of my heroes. The man inspires me a whole lot,
absolutely all right now, the baby people were having issues

(01:15:39):
with his beatbox freestyle and they didn't like him mentioning
Joe Joe seawall, But we're gonna explain it. Listen to this.
Don't want to get me started again yet a bit, Jojoe?
See why beach let the roles give breach, so people
thought that he was calling her a bitch, and he
posted my three year old princess as your number one fan.
I bought her every product you have out. She thinks,

(01:16:02):
she thinks she You don't let them trick you into
thinking I'd ever have a problem with you. My wordplay
just went over their heads. So it was just some
wordplay with that Jojo see Why, and then they saying
his name is Jonathan Jojo, and then see why with
see why, see why. I don't see why they're so

(01:16:22):
mad either. Hey, listen, all right, I'm with it. They're
gonna start policing rappers for calling women bitches. Now, well,
he didn't call a bit she's playing. I know he didn't,
but I'm just saying it's been a million times rappers
have actually
