All right, Okay, all right, brother different daddies. Hello, who's this?
This is an Elitia Jacksonville. Already listen y'all. A question
for y'all, and I just want to hear your opinion
(02:33):
about this. It's amazing how white people could call black
people the heir words. It's not a big deal. Black
people could call white people crocker, ass crocker, it's not
a big deal. But when somebody speak their opinion about
the lgd T community, it's a big upro And that's
just somethingbody speaking their opinion about that. I'm just trying
(02:54):
to see what's the big uprow If everybody held their opinion,
let him speak their opinion. If that's what they want
to do, let them do that. They should embrace that's
what they are, and it's cool. It shouldn't be a
big dramatic art rock And I just want to hear
your opinion about that from both of y'all. Well, what
white people say the N word, It is an uproar, definitely, Yeah,
(03:15):
it is an uproar. Not really, it is definitely have
gotten side and that LG it's not the WRO like
the LTP community. What the hell is the LTB that
that that cable package you just talked about, it is
way worse than the basic one. Now, the basic one,
it's LGBT. I don't know what why you just go, oh, well, well,
I don't know the alphabets, man, But I don't want
(03:37):
to hear y'all opinion about that. I want to like
when boost is saying this car man, it was a
big off law when whoever saying it thing What really
got me when Wendy Williams had apologize for what she said.
It's like, come on, man, you can't have an opinion
about that. Well, listen, here's the truth to the matter.
You got to know who you're FFing with. You know
what I'm saying. You slap somebody in the face, they
might slap you back and slap somebody else in the face.
(03:58):
They might punch you and knock you out. You slap
somebody else in the face, they might pull out a
gun to shoot you. You gotta know what you're dealing
with that and be ready to deal with them. Yeah.
I just don't get the man. Everybody should have their
own opinion. It shouldn't be a big a big deal
about it. If that's what they choose to do, that
that's on them. Let them in porson and move on.
So listen, why are you calling? Why is this the
(04:19):
first thing on your mind in the morning. Though, No,
it's no, I just can't know. Yes it is, Yes
it is, Yes it is a good one. But why
does it matter how other people live their lives anyway?
If it doesn't affect you, if you're not part of
the LGBTQ plus community, and like, why does it bother you? Hello?
Who's this? What's up? Bro? Get it off your chests? Yeah?
(04:40):
What I had to get out of my chest? Man.
I feel like a lot of people like seeing back
waiting for the government to do things instead of realize
what we can do ourselves. Like I ain't had nothing
a couple of years ago for bout the pandemic doing
it and then it won't really an issue with me.
You know. I started driving trust for a company, bought
the trust off of Facebook up owner operator. I'm here
(05:02):
fourteen dollars in a week. It's so much stuff people
can do out here, you know better theyself because I'm
trying to break a generation or curse. Well, families are
growing up in apartments in our own and homes because
it's phone broke up. But I agree with him, you
know what I mean. I mean, we definitely should push
our government and push our you know, national and local
government to do things for us, but we definitely got
(05:24):
to do for ourselves too. Word to the honorable or
Loijah Muhammad, what he said. What he said is also right.
I know a lot of people want to be rappers,
they want to be uh DJs, they want to be producers,
they want to be athletes, they want to get only fans.
There's a lot of other businesses that people can do,
and driving trucks is a major business. They make a
lot of money, so really really look into it, because
(05:47):
you think about it, one thing that didn't stop on
that road was those trucks, whether they were delivering food,
whether they were delivering toilet paper and paper towels. Those
roads stay full with those trucks. So people still had
those jobs with them truck. Yeah, And that's why I
always tell brothers, man, you go out there and learn
a trade, you know what I mean, Because there's certain
things that just never ever ever gonna stop. You're gonna
(06:07):
always need an electrician, You're gonna always need a plumber,
you know what I mean. And those people, those brothers
make good money. Since this make good money. Absolutely, Hello,

South Carolina. Three yeah, all day, but I still got
my nine one seven numb heard so I'm a nuper driver.
(09:17):
So I was on Folly Beach and my phone plays
music automatically, like I played a playlist, so there's no commercials.
I like the niggas so comfortable, no no offense, but
for Caucasian people got into my car and I had
to take them twenty eight minutes away. It was cool,
we were driving, wanted them, played track music, then played
(09:38):
fall Out Boys. I'm played. I had to arrange the music.
Lady Guy Guy, And as soon as Beyonce Brown Skinned
Girl came one the lady in the back, I heard
the whispering among themselves, like Who's gonna say it? Finally
somebody was braving up to come up and say it.
It was excuse me, could you turn that song off
it's offending me. And I was like, what that song
offending you? And she said, well, it's all about like
(10:00):
black girls. I'm not black. I don't relate to that.
I was like, so something that bratty might again is
offending you. So what did I do? I thought of
the whole playlist off that dog. She got all the
black power music for all twenty music. No, wait a minute,
everybody stepped back from this situation, didn't look at it objectively.
Oh boy, you're an uber driver. Correct, And when you're
(10:22):
an uber driver, you're playing music because you want people
to feel comfortable. Correct, they don't feel comfortable about the song,
you don't gotta get offended. Bite she can't relate. She's
a man's flavoring mammal. Yeah, but it's not that type
of song. It's it's not like saying, you know, f
white people. That's not that's just upset that she don't
have that tan. That's all. Well, she goes, I'm just
mad that all this trap music played. We don't hurt
(10:43):
drug deal of music. We don't her wip, we don't
hurt everything. You didn't get offended about nothing because she's
no drug dealers she knows drug dealers, and she uses drugs.
She might have she got, she might might mean white
as her Okay, oh my goodness, she just can't relate. Girl,
she's kind of rating. What kind of rating did you
give her? Oh? No, I listen. I gave her the
(11:06):
same rating I usually give everybody else. Because she didn't
rat me no less because she gets but after she
said it, because mine, if you heard the music that
I was playing around, I was playing corns, fall out boy,
I was playing all this other stuff in rotation. If
anybody know what that music is, even know that it
was diverse and get off. And I think you missed
a good opportunity to teach to though, because you could
have just told her like, look, this is an old
(11:27):
to to to melan it all right, well, hello, who's this? Hey?
How's it going for? Then? Though? Good morning? Yes, sir,
I was going I got a quick question for Charlotte

don't know if somebody ever asked you this, but who
was your top three donkeys of all time? And what
(11:48):
you're considered consider giving donkey a donkey Hall of Fame?
Oh yeah, I mean at the end of the year,
we do a top five Donkeys of the year. I
don't I'm gonna be honest with you, top donkeys of
all time. Donald Trump is definitely in the top three.
I mean I've given it to him more than anybody.
And um, I'm gonna always put myself in the top
three because I always say, you know, when you give
people the credit, you gotta give everybody to credit they
(12:10):
deserve for being stupid, including yourself. I don't know who
the third one would be. There sounds first y'all want
to clue Braun from the Breakfast Club. All right, we'll
go on, get it off your chest eight hundred five
eight five one on five one. If you need to vent,
hit us up. Now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club winning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee,
(12:34):
Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now. You
have some special guests joining us this morning, and I'm
not going to tell your names up. Don't even try
let them introduce themselves, please please. My name is Malati
Bhana Mescoll from Denver, Colorado, UM and originally from t
Gray in Ethiopia. What's up? Everyone. My name's on dam
get Vic Jorgets from money Earning Mount Vernon, New York.
My family comes from Erica. And you know I got
(12:56):
I got a call from my man Alex down in Atlanta,
AG and you know, he was really concerned about this
civil war that's happening in his homeland of v Fiopius.
So can you can you tell us more about that? Yeah? Absolutely?
What's happening in a nutshell is we are in on
day two hundred and two of a genocide into Gray,
the northernmost region of Ethiopia. There is the humanitarian crisis.
(13:22):
There is something that everyone should be worried about. I mean,
the women are being gang raped by soldiers. There is
more than five million people are at risk for starvation.
I mean there's a crisis on a level that is
not getting the attention that it should be. Why do
you think it's nuggeting attention? Is it should because this
is you know earlier today was really the first time
I dove into it other than here in the weekend
(13:43):
in people donating so much money, Yeah, for sure. I
mean I think when it comes to issues on the
African content, a lot of times it really gets pushed
to the side when I see what's been happening honestly
over the last couple of decades, just in Africa in general,
if it doesn't conform to what we think here in
the West in terms of like typical conflicts like black
versus white, so apartheid South Africa. If you're thinking in Libya,
(14:06):
maybe you had heard of that there was like slave
camps happening. We can understand that and connected that when
we're thinking about the history of slavery within the African gasper.
But a lot of times when it comes to um
conflicts where you know you're looking at it and it's
black people and black people, again, there are different ethnic
groups that are involved. And again i'm Eric Trein Alex
actually Erictran as well. His wife is from from tigray Um.
(14:27):
There are different forces involved at play here. It can
be complicated. But also the Western media just doesn't really
pay attention when and give it the attention that it
deserves when it's a serious situation. Well, and don't forget,
there was a complete communication blackout. So what this Prime
Minister of Ethiopia is doing, he's doing it in the dark,
so people don't know. Wow, so the information is just
now getting out. So y'all, have y'all even gotten in
(14:48):
touch with your families briefly? There's some parts of the
city where they turn the phones on for a short
amount of time and then they're off again. But the
majority of my family's from the countryside. So the people
in the city, I mean, I personally have lost five
family members in seven months. Wow, right, I mean it's horrific.
And I you know, on the Aeratran context, we have
a country that is really just a really repressive government,
(15:11):
a government where when we're speaking on those phone calls,
through viber connections, whatever it is, you know, people can't
even tell their honest feelings about what's going on because
they're fearful that there's going to be repression or reprisals
against them. And obviously, again the context is different on
the Airy transide from what's going on in to grab
because aera trans they are conscripted soldiers being forced into
to Gri and there have been a lot of abuses.
(15:32):
But again you can't even really get full information through
some of those channels because again people can't speak openly.
So breakdown, why why is it so much turmoil? And
so much fighting and so much war and everything that
you just say why, Well, the simple answer is it's
a power grab. It's a power grab. So Ethiopia has
a decentralized form of government right now, and the current
prime minister, who was never elected by the way he
(15:53):
was appointed, was supposed to have an election and he's
canceled at four times now. So at this point we
don't even know when the election it's going to happen.
Who's overseeing him. There's nobody overseeing him to say, hey,
you can't do that. That's a great question. There's nobody
overseeing him, nobody. He's changed the whole system of politics
in Ethiopia, where instead of having these independent bodies that
come together, ethnic groups that come together to decide on things,
(16:16):
he's changed that. So it's more of a unitarian system.
There's one political party now. So it's um, you're right,
I mean, who here you would impeach your president? Right?
We don't have that option. What would what would it
take to get peace? That's too broad a question. I
don't think there will ever be peace with the Sciosopha
workI in Eritrea and aviahmad in Ethiopia. I think at
(16:38):
this point those people have to go. There's no way
to have peace with them in power. Well, yeah, I
mean Martin Luther King has a quote, it's pieces not
the apence of Ford's the presence of justice. So not
only do we have war that's going on now, but
for decades in aery Trea there hasn't been justice. I mean,
that's the most painful thing. What Airtrian soldiers are doing
to grind women. This war is being played out on
the bodies of women and girls period, and they're doing
(17:00):
things like putting hot rods up a woman's vagina to
burn her internal reproductive organs. And it's not one story.
We're hearing this story from many women, and that's just
the tip of the iceberg. Because we still don't have
access to the people. Why why emphasis on sexual violence,
Like what is that to them? That's a good question,
that's a good question. I don't know. I think, you know, well,
(17:20):
first of all, there are two things. I think. The
first thing is that again, many of the forces that
are sort of operating in that region are operating lawlessly,
you know, like there is no one sort of overseeing
what's happening. There aren't the sort of journalists, the journalists
or the media availability to able to communicate what's happening
in a rapid fashion. And then at the same time,
like you know, there are issues in terms of like identity,
(17:41):
like when you're thinking about the sexual violence, like this
is deeper than just you know, like murder or something
like that. Like you're you're trying to make You're trying
to strike fear into the hearts of an entire group
of people. And that has been what's really really disturbing
about this this conflict. And one thing is clear is
this sexual violence. It's not undisciplined soldiers. This is a
directive to go in and attack the women, make sure
they can't reproduce. I mean, it's it's a directive from
(18:03):
the top, and that's what makes it scary. All Right,
we got more when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club
were still kicking it within endom Charlomagne as far as
you know as the Biden administration tried to get involved. Yeah,
(18:24):
I mean recently over the last couple of days. There
have been more statements coming out. They just yesterday there
was a visa band that was put out on you know,
sort of all sides involved in the conflict, but really
they relate to the game. I mean, we're going on
now seven months of what's happening. I mean, don't forget
Trump was the one who was in office when this started,
so Biden hasn't had a full seven months to really
(18:45):
address this, you know what I mean. Trump wasn't going
to do anything. He didn't care, he had nothing to
gain from it. Trump was transactional. So I would say,
you know, Biden's team, they've done a lot in a
short amount of time. I mean they've sent a special
envoy to the Horn of Africa. They you know, as
soon as he came back, when Free Feltman came back,
within twenty four hours, you had Senate Resolution ninety seven
was passed, the UN passed, you know, the Right to
(19:06):
Protect Act. So I think a lot has happened undervited.
I mean it's not fast enough. We're talking about at
least one hundred and fifty thousand people have been killed,
at least if you multiply, I mean, if you divide
that by two hundred and two days. It's like one
hundred and seventy five people a day or so, I'm sorry,
seven hundred people a day. So it's a lot of
people who are dying. So it's not fast enough. It's
just not fast enough. We're all losing our families. But
(19:29):
hopefully with the sanctions that have been announced, something's going
to change. And listen, the issue of Airtryan soldiers being
into Gray. We can't I can't stress that enough. Think
about this. We're in New York right now. If the
federal government had an issue in New York and invited
Canada in to bomb New York, that's outrageous, right, That's
unheard of, and you wouldn't even imagine that outside New
York exactly exactly. That's literally what's happening into Gray right now.
(19:52):
So and to me, I mean, to Gray is an
important place you think about, like from a spiritual perspective,
to gray. Christianity argue Lee started in Ethiopia into gray.
Islam was saved, muhammad followers were saved into gray. The
oldest mosque in Africa is into gray. The oldest known
manuscripts Christian manuscripts are into gray. All of those things
(20:13):
have been looted, all of those places have been bombed
in this conflict that's not coincidental. Is literally spiritual warfare
that's happening. I didn't even say this, but they've locked
up the Black Pope, the Pope of Ethiopia, literally the
head of the entire church in Ethiopia is on house
arrest because he spoke up. He's an ethnic tick grind
and he spoke up. And I mean that alone should
(20:34):
make you want to act. So again, how can people
help if they're a way too besides posting on their
Instagram and talking about it, And how would you advise
people to help you are listening now? I think awareness
is the big thing. I mean, honestly, people still don't know.
So raising the awareness, reaching out to your senators, reaching
out to your congress people, you know. Follow There's several
(20:55):
organizations that you can follow that have action items and
things that you can do to get involved, whether it's
signing petitions or donating money. I can mention some of
those if you want, but sure, okay, OHM not Tigray
is one of them. Tigray Action Committee is another one
HPN for Tigray Health Professionals for Tigray is another one.
Stand with Tigray is another one. So there's all these
(21:15):
organizations just go to their websites and there's lots of
ways that you can interact and get involved. Yeah, and
on the Aeratran side, you know, part of what's happening
right now is the authoritarian ruler Si Suporki's efforts to
try to consolidate power. And again there's a long standing
blood feud between him and the GRIND, the TPLF, the
former regional government that's now you know, sort of embroiled
(21:36):
in this war. And so from the Erytran side, you know,
committing to ensure that aery Trea itself does not have
to deal with this authoritarian ruler is something that all
people should be able to stand up for. So, you know,
we need more advocacy, We need people saying that, like
what's going on in aery Trea is not only just
going to stop within aery Treas borders, right, it extends
beyond its borders. We see refugees struggling not only into
(21:56):
grid throughout the world, and so like if people can
take action and pains that are going on on the
Erytrean side, like the Free Seaham campaign. This is a
fifteen UM. This is a girl who was imprisoned in
Eritreach when she was fifteen years old for fleeing the country.
She's actually born in La, She's Erytrean American. She's been
in secret prison for the last nine years. UM. And
so all of these things human rights abuses that happened
(22:16):
internally with an Erytre Again, it doesn't stop at Erytre's
borders because again the authoritarian ruler we have so get
involved with one day sume um and check out. You know,
many of these different accounts that that are focused on
Erytrean human rights abuses UM against we can show solidary
and make sure that was happening in the region no
longer stands. We'll give me a name one more time,
because I don't want to kill your names. Guy Maliti, Verhanna,

checking out the World's most Dangerous morning show. Morning Everybody
in cj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, indeed,
Swizzy Swiss bon Zone Zone Zone Man Swiss. Is this
a h and it is a bittersweet moment, the fact
that Exodus album drops to day DMX's last project. It is,
(29:06):
but it's it's a happy moment. It's a happy moment
because you know, Dog was headed to do the record.
You know, this is not something that we put together,
you know, since he's since he's left us. Um he
wanted to record out before now wow, you know, but
we had clearances and different things like that, and so
you know, he was supposed to get into his workout phase.
(29:27):
So after we record the album, he was going to
you know, work out for two months and get his
body in shape. Like we had a whole plan. But
I know that he's happy right now that you know,
we have to finish line and this is available for everybody,
and that's why we just kept pushing it. You know,
although everything is heavy, you know, fresh like I'm hiding
behind these glasses, I'm hiding behind this music. But you know,
(29:50):
it comes down on me real hard. But we gotta
keep you know, we gotta keep it going. What's the
album done? Was it fully done before he passed? Yeah? Yeah,
he approved every song. The only thing that was changed
on the album was pop smokes verse whatever. Yea. I
was gonna ask about that because everybody teased that pop
Smoke was on the album. Yeah, he was on the album,
but they used the verse and then so you know,
(30:11):
that's why I put money back. You're on the track.
All the money, money, money or pop was on that yeah.
Oh man, yeah, you know. So we was excited for it,
but then when we heard that we couldn't use it,
I was just like damn. And then um, money bag. Yeah,
I got a good relationship with him, you know, and
he turned it around real quick because we I almost
had to take the track off the album. Wow, and
(30:31):
so like that that saved the track. So shout out
the money bag. You know, how are you? I know
you said you hiding behind the glasses, but how are you?
I'm hurt, bro, I'm hurt. You know what I'm saying.
I'm just I'm just out here giving the energy that
X deserve, you know, and and and and doing this,
but I haven't really, I haven't really take it all
in yet. You know. It's it's a lot because you know,
(30:53):
you see certain things and you just can't. I couldn't
hit stop drop. I'm just not able to hit stop dropping. Wow,
you know what I'm saying, And um wow, sending to
the album on certain songs like it just catch you
out of nowhere about excuse myself and go to the
bathroom and you know, to shake it off and come
back in the room. But um, it's I haven't. I
haven't witnessed. I wasn't expecting it. You say. Is the
(31:14):
most autobiographical for him on this album so many, you know,
like he gave people so much uncut moments into his
life on the record, you know, like letter to my son.
It's crazy. I've watched I've done so much this week,
you know, with playing people to record, and I watched
(31:35):
every time see people leaving the room, I see people
going through the thing, and I was like wow, Like
he really gave people something to connect to that on
that record, and that was very personal to him. And um,
you know, I called his son who he wrote the
song about, Xavier to the studio to hear the album
first out of respect, you know. I was like, you know,
I can't have him hear this album or this record
(31:58):
when the when the public has it, you know what
I'm saying, no matter what they was going through. Like,
so I called him to the studio and I'm really
proud of him because he was in such a great move.
He was just like loving the songs, and I was
just like, every we're getting close to letter to my son,
and I'm like, oh boy, I gotta play him this
record and I'm just like preparing for them. When I
(32:20):
played the record, like he just started smiling, he started clapping.
His energy was real good. And if it took so
much weight off my back because he accepted the record.
He even accepted the song, and I was like, okay,
we're good. Good and then hold me down as another one.
Oh my god, that's the truth if I ever heard it,
(32:41):
Like he told you everything and that and then between
them two verses he told you his whole life. Well
you know what I'm saying. He said, I witnessed those
I know, I know all of those things that he's
talking about. And I was like, man, he's always been
real on his records, but this record, he was like
uncut real you know. You know what about Bath Salts.
I know him and Jay had a rocky relationship at time,
(33:03):
So how was creating that and how was that? Because
they had to have a conversation. How was that couple?
They had a competitive you know, x X created this
villain of X and his of hoving his mind. But
you know, when I would get on him about it
because it was so long ago, extra laughing j other,
He's like, come on, man, I gotta have one. I
gotta have one villain in this thing. You know what
I'm saying. You know, but I know that he respect
(33:25):
Jay for him to call him a villain, and you know,
it was getting to the point where they was going
to really lock in, lock in, you know, in LA,
but we didn't get to do that, and so um,
you know Jay already Jay approved the song and everything
like that, but they didn't really connect all the way
like they was about to. And because I speak to
(33:48):
both of them, I was speaking to both of them deadly,
So I know, I know the temperature, you could tell
what the temperature is, and the temperature was positive. And
you know, Jay was like even when he called Jay
out for versus. You know, Jay was like, Man, I'm
not your villain. I'm not the villain. I'm your brother.
I love you. You know what I'm saying that exercyche.
He felt that, you know, all X one was the
(34:10):
love to be honest this whole time, he just wanted
to love. For people that don't know DMX break down
who DMX as a person because they see the outside right, yeah,
and they don't see the kund hard and they don't
see the the guy that gives his last. They don't
see the person that will give an opportunity to I
was grateful enough to see that side. So for people
that don't know, how would you break down DMX of
(34:32):
who he is as a person. He was a humanitarian
to the max. You know, his philanthropic work is I
haven't seen it in our business yet. You know, I've
been watching this man give his clothes off his back
and shoes, give his money away. You know, he would pray,
like when I said he he'ld pray for other people
before when he needed to pray. As the most he
would feed other people before he feed itself, you know,
(34:54):
like he was. He was one of the best fathers
I've seen. You know, he really really really cared, Like
he didn't care about no materialistic things that you can't
There was no way to buy a DMX. There was
only a way to love him, you understand. And that's
what people didn't really understand. Like the X wasn't even
asking for nothing from from people. You know, he just
(35:15):
wanted to love from people that he loved. He just
wanted it back, And that's what you're had in that song,
He's like, it hurts when people that I love don't
want me take it off from me. Didn't think they
could judge me, treat me like I'm ugly, But I
ain't never been a dummy because I know God loves me.
He see what I'm saying, Like I watched him, you know.
And even on a letter to my son, he says,
I don't know what you thought about my use of
(35:36):
drugs would have taught you enough to not use the drugs.
And I'm like, and I know that's real because you
know X was you know, he was poisoned at fourteen
with this addiction, right, you understand. And I give him
super credit and super props for making a name from
himself when he could have been off the map because
it was hardcore. You know. But I've watched X get
(36:00):
so many people offer drugs and not to do drugs. Unbelievable,
you know, Like even if we just did a segment
on the people he saved from drugs, it's something that
we've never seen before. Wow. And that's why I like
when I say profit light, because X was walking amongst
the people and never talked about it. You know, he
(36:21):
didn't he didn't do no interviews about anything that he did.
As far as get it back, you know, all right,
we got more with Swiss Beats when we come back.
Let's get into a joint. This is letter to my
son or Damex's Exodus album that's out right now featuring Usher.
It's the Breakfast Club Good Morning. That was lettering to
my son and we're still kicking it with Swiss Beats now.
Ye other day in the studio, you were talking about
(36:43):
X working with Griselda and how that was in the studio.
So can you talk about that energy I produced on
the whole album. You know, I just had co producers
and things like that, because like you know, the album
wasn't about me. You know, the album was like, how
can we make a classic timeless peace? You know, so
if I needed some other producers to ask some different
things that I felt I was missing, Like I just
(37:04):
did it. It's it's it's biggness, It's how can we
have the biggest project for Dog? This is his comeback project?
And you know it was no ego and playing shout
out to all the producers that contribute to the album.
Now back to what you just said. With the Gazella,
I look up in here in the studio with them,
So I'm like what and he called it like yo,
(37:26):
him saying them in here with the Gazette, the boys,
Yo what I'm saying. I just like the day they
they real you know what I'm saying, Like I just
had to come in their space, and I was like, oh,
he's working, working, you know what I'm saying. I didn't
have to call him like he surprised me with the
verse and so it was just so great to see
him and his element and his groove. He started feeling
the love when when when the artist started coming to
(37:47):
the studio, Like when my wife came to the studio,
I should came to the studio, snoop, you know, Snoopers.
He's a different level bro like Snoop hospitality that he
showed us in that studio because X got motivated after
Versus to do the record. You know what I'm saying,
He got he got his confidence back because all of
the fans was like yo, his record started going back
(38:09):
on the charts and younger artists started calling him for
verses and things like that, and so that was the
energy that we kept to go through the album. So
we didn't even leave La. We stayed at Snoop studio
from Versus and finished the album. Wow, I'm saying, Yeah,
Snoop cook for us every night like I never seen
I've never even seen that in our industry, Like he
wouldn't even if he didn't have a studio session. He
(38:31):
would come and cook for us, make sure we straight,
and go about his business. I was every day. I
was like, this is different. He said, XS, like I
need to get some music, new music today. Yeah yeah,
X's like, you know, I liked the verses and everything,
but I just wish that I had new music to
show people today, like where my mind is at where
I man. I was like, yo, okay, well let's do it.
(38:51):
And that's when I knew he was serious. I knew
he was serious when he did Versus. But then I
knew he was serious when when when we stayed in
LA he was coming to the studio at twelve in
the afternoon, because as his producer, I know that's the
time you're gonna get the best vocals. I can't work
with eight pm. It's finish, it's done already, his voices. Saw.
You know, he talks different. He talks like he wraps right.
(39:15):
So by the time it's eight o'clock, like we're gonna
have to do the vocals over Anyway, How hard was
it for him to do Verses? Did you have to
talk him into it or like was that an easy
cell for him? No? Man, you know X because X
is a battle rapper right like he don't. I had
to let him really digest the concept. You know what
(39:35):
I'm saying, I'm gonna do somebody dirty. So I'm telling
you what I'm saying, like, I uh, I'm gonna do
somebody dirty, dirty, dirty, like, so to be careful who
you pick, because I'm gonna do him dirty. I said, whoa, whoa,
this is not that Douge celebration sharing of music you know,
two people that respect each other. And then I just
(39:55):
left him alone. I just left him with that. And
then um, he started watching it and really paying attention.
And I think it was the Papular Belt one. It
was one of those one of those old school ones
that he got it. He was called me, it's like,
all right, I see what this is. All right, I'm in,
you know, And I was like, what you think about Snoop?
He's like perfect, I said, dog with the dog, He's
(40:17):
like perfect. Once he was in, he was in. But
I knew it was when he got on the plane
because exit and in mid sixty plane. You know what
I'm saying, he was on time. Might give it to him.
You know you said earlier that that it was kind
of a shock. Do you went X pass away? Yeah,
we wasn't. We wasn't. We wasn't on that time. You
know what I'm saying. X wasn't on that time. And
that's why you've seen him gained so much weight. You know,
(40:38):
when I was happy when he had to wait on him,
because I knew he was healthy. He was really going
hard for his son, Exodus, you know, for Shore, like
like Exodus helped him a lot, Um, he really loved
that boy a lot, Like like I've seen him, he
loved all his kids. I witnessed him loving all his kids.
M but Exodus lived with him and you could just
see the strength of Exodus being in the studio with him.
(41:01):
That gave him strength and and I think that really
helped him out a lot. And so there was other
times I was worried, you know what I'm saying, Like
I've seen excellent in serious situations, But this time we
was chilling, like we was like chilling, like he's supposed
to go home, go see the family, take a break.
Then we was gonna start start the two month workout
playing you know what I'm saying. He was looking forward.
(41:22):
He calling me about the workout. I'm like, damn, Like, okay,
you want to go to you ready? Huh? He was like, yeah,
what I'm saying, I'm tired of Belly. I want you
know what I'm saying, We're gonna go dog on him.
Then we come, We're gonna we're gonna show me in
the gym, show my transition. Then we dropped the album.
So it was a whole it was a whole plan,
and he was he was with it. He was gad
at him. You know, yeah, I didn't. It caught me
(41:44):
way left. You remember where you were at. I was
in Saudi Arabia. And what's crazy is before I left,
he called me and he was like, he told me
he wanted to be with me. You know what I'm saying.
I was like, what are you talking about, y'all? I
just want you know what I'm saying. I want I
want to be where you're at, like you know, like
like let's connect. I just want to be next to
(42:06):
your energy and X don't never really call me like that.
You know, there's something he would probably tell me in person,
but like he picked up the phone like he stepped
out of a club or something because I can head
in the background, and he personally said that to me,
And I was like, Okay, well, um, why don't you
call me on this trip? You know what I'm saying.
I say it'd be great. You like the desert, it's
(42:26):
a good getaways. I think it's cool for us to
just get away and for you to see something different.
And he's like, oh, that sounds good. He was like, oh,
how long is the flight? Seventeen hours? I want to
be next to you that long. Yeah, He's like, I
don't want to be next to you that long. I
was like, no, I'm saying, you know, it's it's a
good vibe. We got the studio, you know, like we
(42:49):
time is gonna go go go go fast on the plane,
trust me. And he's like, m I'm gonna call you
back on that. And then um, of course I didn't
hear from him, so I left like two days later,
and then like two days after I got there, he
wrote me. Um, he wrote me in text and was
just like, man, you know, I just appreciate everything you've
done for me, you know, I just I just want
(43:10):
to tell you I appreciate everything you've done for me.
And I was like, okay, like you being a little weird,
but wrote them back. I said, appreciate you too. Dog
for life And I sent him to mister Magic Rapp
Attack playlists that I found with all the old school
hip hop vibes and that that was our last That
was our last text. You know, you know the word exodus,
(43:31):
it means the road out. So when you hear that,
did that title make you feel like x X new?
I think he knew something for sure, because like you know,
when I look at like, let's say Kobe. You know,
like before Kobe left us, I seen him everywhere. I
couldn't believe I was seeing him everywhere. You know, I'm like,
ye oh, he's a puff party. He's here. You've never
(43:53):
seen I never personally seen Kobe out like that, Like
it was just like he was just out making his rounds.
And I've seen that same parallel line with Dog, Like
I've seen him voluntarily doing interviews, everybody from Miami calling me,
He's showing up, he's at t I's house, He's all
over the damn place. I'm just like, Dog, like I said,
(44:16):
you can't you out out like this is what, this
is the new you. And he was like he's like
you know what I'm saying. I'm just I'm setting up,
you know, so when I'm doing the groundworks. When we
dropped the album, I did the groundworks, you know, so
so so it's not just popping up. And I was like, Okay,
I understand that, but it was just weird to me
that he was in so many places like you had.
People have so many stories like that that was just
(44:39):
with him, like and people have great stories about like
just who didn't even know him, just about running into
him and how he treated people. And I think that's
how anybody should want to be remembered, the way people
that didn't even know him can't remember what their experiences
were like. Were you able to watch the TV one
uncensored that I watched it. That interview was a little
(45:01):
deep because it was an x that I've never seen,
you know, like, I've never seen him so laid back
and on purpose he was he something was on his
mind at that time as well, though you know, well,
old movie. We got more with Swiss when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody in stj
(45:23):
Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Swiss beats. Did he like
to do interviews because he loved the Breakfast Club? For
some reason. He always would come, always would all day too.
After that long one day, I left after the interview
and I was gone for like I had to go
do something in Jersey. I came back. He was still here.
(45:46):
He said it for hours. He took the he took
the market rope, graffiti all on the wall. We had
to have people come clean the wall off. I'm like,
who's gonna tell Exton stop? I'm not gonna tell stop.
He was outside eating hot dogs. Man, that's if he
if he if he if, it wasn't nothing you could
do about it, you know. So he felt the energy
up here and he felt protective, felt he could be
real with you guys. He liked that type of stuff,
(46:08):
even if it's raw, like you know, he don't. He
don't like the fake zones. So he felt he felt
a real zone with you guys. And every time I
see him up here, I was like, man, I just
hope you don't talk about no other artists. I like
that though, because he definitely you know, I think when
you say something and then you can come back and say,
you know what, I shouldn't have said that, that's that's
(46:29):
really mature, and that's a good example for other people,
because sometimes people want to like double down on things
and don't want to admit when they're wrong. I agree
with that. He did it with Drake. With Drake, you know,
he said he was a good guy, reached out to him,
and I thought that was real. Did you ever reach out?
Did you ever you and Drake ever squash things? I
know one time you and Drake were going back and forth. No,
we haven't. We haven't spoken yet. You know, we haven't spoken.
(46:51):
You know, um, you know we haven't spoken. How do
you feel when when people try to act like no
one gave X's fly I tried to help him when
he was here. I wouldn't say no one, I just
when when when I made my speech about that, you know,
those who giving him his flowers in his garden, which
a lot of fans did, a lot of a lot
(47:12):
of people around the world definitely did. For sure. I'm
mainly talking about the people that he wanted them from
that was close to him. I understand family members, so
called friends and things like that, you know, like I
was really around X. I really know the conversations. I
really you know, I've been there for the whole thing
since seventeen, you know, really since fifteen. I'm at X
(47:36):
at fifteen, But the fame started at seventeen with us,
and just to see the people come and go, and
the inconsistency of love and the endless want of wanting
and taking and not being there when he really he
didn't mind giving, you know what I'm saying. But like
at least give him the love back and return, and
(47:58):
so like I just got a little annoyed, you know,
because um it was it was just like, at least,
let this day be about him, you know what I'm saying.
Like everybody was making it about them. They wasn't like
even Kanye, let it be about dog, you know what
I'm saying. Like Kanye had a full mask on. You
didn't even know where he was at in the building,
he was on stage. You didn't know, Yes, he did
(48:21):
the Sunday Service, you know what I'm saying, Like because
DMX did Sunday Service. He did it three times him
and had had a great relationship. You know, people were
like upset about it, but they had that relationship and
he supported and was at Sunday Service. X was super
proud of Kanye for stepping out and what he believed in.
And X wanted to do like a Sunday Service himself.
(48:42):
So for him seeing Kanye doing it, he was super
happy for him. And he was like, Yo, anytime you
need me to talk, because I remember when I first
got the phone called him him doing He called me like, Yo,
you know what I'm saying, you and Kanye good. I
was like, yeah, what you're saying. He's like, na, because
I knew you had a problem with the hat and
all the stuff here. I just want to make sure
you're good. I said, no, we goold. You know he
Kanye is, you know, he's his own man. I'm not
I'm not going to really judge him off of things
(49:05):
like that, you know what I'm saying. Problem with the
Oh yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. But when
I told him that me and Kanye was good, he
was so excited, like thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus.
And I was like, wow, like what's up. He's like nah,
he wanted me to. He want me to, you know,
talk at the service, And I was like wow, But
that's how X was, Like he almost asked for my
permission to do so. He's always been lawyer, Like you've
(49:28):
never seen X with another label, Like even when he
started bloodline right as he had a rough out of all.
You know what I'm saying, Like like X was just
he was just a different He's I haven't he's different.
We've seen how spiritual he was, but where did that
come from? Like did you ever see X, you know
reading the Bible? Like with like he was just so spiritual,
(49:48):
and it didn't matter where it was. It could have
been a Popeyes, it could have been at a club,
it could have been in a restaurant before shows, like
where we where would you get that from? You know?
For me, it wasn't like a new thing. It always
knew him for that, right, So it wasn't like strange.
It wasn't like something happened and he became holier than
thow Right. He was always like that, like we can
(50:11):
be going through like some crazy stuff, but we have
a prayer happening before some wild stuff is jumping off.
I'm like, you're praying right now. Always pray before he
had food. He just was always that, you know what
I'm saying. I only knew him for that, and and
he started he shared that with the world from since
day one. You know, praying in front of fifty thousand
(50:33):
people on the stage. I couldn't believe he was doing.
I was like, you're about to pray in front of
the crowd, it's a show down. He's like, nah, they
need it. And when I started seeing thugs and gang
bangers crying in the crowd or he's onto something different,
he just annointed. He always always meant like I always
said that you see X, you see God. That's a fact.
That's it thinks Marvin Gay sample on the album, How
(50:56):
hard was that to clear? Or they cleaned us up
for that one. It gave us a nice shape up
with that one. But you know, sometimes you got to
let the artistreet flow, his estate deserve it, you know.
And we chose to use the record. So that's if
they're a lot more ex music or he didn't record
as much as we got a lot of music. He
(51:16):
had a lot more. They got a lot of music.
This question has been coming up, like everybody I've been
saying like this is going to be another, this, another that.
For me, it's like, um, he worked so hard on
this record, Like I don't really want to tamper with
things unless it can be better than this record got.
You see what I'm saying, Like, I don't want to
just put things out. And even with the footage that
we had, we recorded the whole process of the album,
(51:38):
and it's like we could have been putting that footage
out right now leading up to the album. But I'm like,
let's do something masterful with it. Let's let's treat it
as art and curated to it that it adds to
his legacy and it's not just a blip of a
moment that seems like it works, but you still don't
really understand the whole story. Like he deserved for the
whole body to be cure his story, you know, especially
(52:02):
even like working on this album, in the footage, it
should be like it should feel like something real, you know,
and so um that's the goal. You know, a lot
of people got footage on Dog and it's like, Yo,
everybody out there that got the footage on it, just
cure rate man, you know what I'm saying. Just just
think about the legacy and not just put something out
just to say you have it. You know. You know
this this X album, Man Exodus is very special and
(52:24):
I think it's just my opinion that musically it's the
best DMX album ever. You wouldn't know better than anybody.
What do you think? I agree with you? Because you know,
the thing that I love about the album is X
embraced his age, you know what I'm saying, Like he
was cool with being fifty ye, And when I look
back at a lot of the artists, the legends when
(52:46):
they come back, they try to like jump in the
game that's happening now you have no experience in that game,
and it actually ages you more when you do that,
you know what I'm saying. So when I seen X
starting to understand, like, Yo, you just gotta be you,
and then I can curate around that and we could
bring the energy to you as as needed. But we
(53:09):
don't have to compromise that. I can't, you know what
I'm saying, Like I'm not gonna put you on a
track beat just to talking about streams and spins and
stuff like that. Let's just do what we do, you
know what I'm saying. And the people that love it
and I want to hear something different, they're gonna they're
gonna rock with it. But we gotta be who we are, right.
That's a little baby And Derek pushed their album back
(53:29):
just to show respect for X's album coming out. See
I respect that, you know what I'm saying, Like I
was handing about it, but like I didn't. I'm not
expecting people to do certain things, you know what I'm saying.
Because everybody got you know, they got their life that
they gotta they gotta plans for and things like that.
But you know, shout out to those brothers for doing
something like that, and I like it because it's a
(53:50):
great representation of the youth. You know, that's a real
stand up move and x x X definitely appreciate that,
and I appreciate that well move. We got more with
Swiss when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
morning be Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Swiss beats. Let's
switch your lens. What's what's next for verses? For you?
Sunday and Soldier Boy happening. First, let's start with Sunday, right,
(54:17):
because this is a rematch, So what are the rules
for a rematch? Shoot? You know, this is our first
time actually being on our platform. We have to follow
the rules. Now. When we started, we went for five hours.
But this is live in the club though, right, Yeah, say,
I'm coming, I gotta I gotta pool party in the afternoon,
so I'll be there that night. Let's go. Oh, so
it's gonna be the party like that, Yes, Wow, Sunday night.
(54:41):
This is gonna be live audience first time, so probably
a lot of guests Memorial weekend. Oh okay, okay, makes sense.
You know whoever did we now see this is gonna
be a tough one. See, because you gotta make yourself
a meant so many club records. That mean because you're
in the clubs. So it's not like people are watching.
(55:02):
They could just bop their head like but tim do too.
It's gonna be a good one. It's a good one.
It's a good one. What's your story? Already? Know you're
bringing out all the special guests too. I know you
got some special guests. I'm definitely coming. They don't tell
you something I haven't had time to even focus on that.
I've been in this. You have a schedule. This is
a crazy weekend. To tell you something. I haven't moved
(55:23):
like this in years. I was, my son is with me,
and I'm like, see this the stuff they don't tell
you about you see this work right, get ready for this.
All that other stuff, your videos and all that stuff
was cool, But this right here, forty sixty zooms a day,
I'm zoomed out. I remember my speech entirely. You know
(55:48):
what I'm saying from saying it, so damn, It's like, Yo,
this is crazy. But you know ex deserved. I gotta
do it. I don't care no sleep. I was bagging
up under these glass, says, I gotta do it. You
know what I'm saying. Because x X never really did
promo like that, right, So all the drops he missed,
I had to do this week, radio station drop. I
(56:11):
had to do this week, every interview he didn't do it.
I had to do this. That's always surprised. He's been
to the Breakfast three we were black. He always anything
we ever asked X four if I name Club and
Nori that's his favorite? Yea as those two. Yeah, he
got some classics with drink Champs for sure. Now what
about you, soldier boy? What what's going on with that?
(56:31):
Is that? Is that official? Is that just conversation? Are
you just laughing? Contract? Knock it off? And I told
him that a knock it off? But you know I
like it because you know, let's let you let them
have fun, you know what I'm saying. Like I would
have rolled it out a different way, but I just
like that. You know, they're excited um that they're doing
it and it's organically so is it official as of
(56:55):
today's efficient or as of today it's efficient as of
today is ficial? Wow, you know would be you know,
I will be going in and out and I don't
know what we happened. Bauer Sometimes I like his negotiation
tactics though, you know what I mean, the negotia. You're
the one called me to do it. Yeah, yeah, but
it hyped people up. It makes people have more interest
(57:16):
in even though I think it's gonna be a great
versus because say what you wanted about Soldier Boy and Baa,
you can't deny what they did music and they're very entertaining.
I'm oh, my goodness, it's gonna be a movie. You
know what I'm saying. I like it because those those
they they did, they made history so young. That's right, Yeah,
that's right. They deserve it, you know what I'm saying.
They deserve it. That one time you had Dre on
(57:39):
the fishing line a little bit. Who he was on
the fishing line a little bit? Did you get him
back on it or is it he still like h Now?
Dre came around pretty good. You know what I'm saying.
Dre came around pretty good. I gave um Dre his privacy,
you know, because because of what you're going through. So
I didn't really I speak to him, but I haven't
been speaking to him about that, but you know, more
(58:00):
speaking to him like human, Yes, a human you know
what I'm saying, Like I don't call people just to
like forenagle the business. Like if Drey want to bring
it up again, I'm gonna let him bring it up
and start the conversation because he can't. He has some
great ideas of what he wanted to do. Now the
person that he wanted to do it with, I don't
know if they're gonna agree with the terms that he's saying,
but he had a great idea for the verses, so
(58:25):
you know, hopefully we'll get to that. Come on, everybody said,
he what about Mary Marry want to do it? Or
though yeah, yeah, I would love to, but I think
Mary could only do it with like an Usher, She's
gonna have a hard time. Then I agree, Crazy and
Usher got them things. That's right. What are you gonna
(58:47):
play after? I'm going down? Right? I mean just married
first album and it's it's I don't know, man, it's
just it's just different music. He's the closest I see
I'll do Mary Ria. I can see that one Mary, Mariah,
I can see. I don't know about that one. Usha,
I don't know who goes against us. Everybody's gonna have
a bad time with Mary, Yes, everybody. It's a bad day.
(59:10):
Weather's on the other side of that. And this is celebration.
It's a bad day. It's three because you gotta understand,
Mary's songs got women through their life. You hit that,
it's three catalogs, Mary usher Hove. But Mary and Hove,

(59:31):

let's go all right. It's the Breakfast Club. The Swiss
beats song Zone, So breakfast Club, Your morning's will never
be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee. By using brands
(59:53):
like Dove and Helmets, you're supporting Unilever and the every
day good they do, like donating more than twenty five
million dollars where the everyday products and services to groups
like Feeding America this year, visit Unilever does good dot
Com to support communities impacted by the pandemic. Donkey of
the Day Democrat, So being Dunky of the Day is
(01:00:17):
a little bit of a mixed so like other Day. Now,
I've been called a lot of my twenty three years,
But Donkey other Day is a new wife. Yeah. Donkey
of the Day goes to a home inspecting Michigan named
Kevin Wayne van Loving. What a name van Loving. If
(01:00:40):
this guy doesn't own in nineteen ninety two for the
Econo line, I would be disappointed. Okay, at least in
nineteen ninety seven plumber Voyage and maybe a Volkwagen Earl Van.
Maybe moral of the story is he should drive nothing
but vans. When your last name is van Loving, you
only have one vehicle of choice, and the license plate
of that vehicle has to say Van Loving Sneakers too. Okay,
(01:01:04):
when your last name is van Loving, you can only
wear vans, the old school black and white ones with
the jash crape. Now, some would say that if you
drive a van and wear vans, that's the child sex
offenders start a kid. I'm just saying, if you profile pedophiles,
this kind of fits the description. But maybe I'm making
all this up. This is probably a personal bias that
I'm projecting, so never mind me. But back to mister
van Loving Now, mister van Lovin is a home inspector
(01:01:27):
and he was inspecting the home of a twenty two
year old woman in Oxford Township. He was inspecting the
property before a sale. Well, something in that house turned
Kevin van Loving on. I don't know what type of
afro dgiak he used before he inspected that house. Maybe
he ate some chocolate, maybe some figs, some oysters, asparagus.
(01:01:49):
Maybe something increased his lopido, his sexual function. Something got
him so hot and bothered in that house that he
had the pleasure himself right then and there. Let's go
to WJBK Fox to Detroit for the report. Police before
selling an Oxford Township couple let this man into their
home on Gill Street for a routine inspection. They left,
(01:02:10):
never suspecting the fifty nine year old man would allegedly
fulfill his sexual urges with their child's Elmo Doll. Deserving
sexual act revealed when movement in the child's room triggered
the nursery camera. The image shows when Kevin van Leuven
picked up the tickle me Elmo doll. The homeowner shocked
when she was alerted on her cell phone after hitting record.
(01:02:32):
She immediately contacted the Oakland County Sheriff's office. Our deputies
confronted him, and initially he denied it, and then they
told him it was on video, and then he apologized.
He's been charged with aggravated indecent exposure and a misdemeanor
charge of malicious destruction of property. But perhaps what's even
more disgusting After abusing the doll, Van Leuven put it back.
(01:02:57):
I never thought I would find someone who loves elmore
more than Rashawn Casey aka dj Envy. I have so
many questions. I know people say we shouldn't can't shame,
We shouldn't shame people for what they are into sexually,
but that's ps Okay, that's some twenty twenty one. I've
been woke too long, and I need some sleep because
I'm not thinking straight when I'm sleepy. Rhetoric, Okay, If
(01:03:18):
I can't shame Kevin van Loving for this in the
word shame needs to be abolished all together. Now? Can
I try to understand Kevin van Lovin? Sure, let's unpack this.
How many times has Kevin Wayne van Lovin sat his
ass in front of the TV and masturbated this? Sesson
me screed. I wonder I also wonder if he sat
down with a therapist or psychiatrist, could he or she
(01:03:38):
bring this back to something that happened in his childhood.
I mean it's Almo as then tickle me Elmo? Right?
And tickling equals flirting. I read somewhere, and by somewhere,
I mean google that from adolescent saw and you're roughly
seven times more likely to be tickled by somebody at
the opposite sex. And the most common reason to tickle
is to show affection. So maybe when he was a baby,
(01:04:00):
as a young lad, he got tickled a lot and
the thought of tickling turns him on. I don't know, Okay,
So when you're a creature, that is the symbol of tickling,
maybe when you see that you get turned on. When
you see that, that that symbol of tickling, that is Elmo.
A lot of people don't like tickling, but tickling is
a physical expression to love. So maybe just maybe he
(01:04:20):
saw Elmo and he wanted to show his love. Some
people do tickle fights is for play people's stage, tickle
fights in the bedroom. Nothing I'm saying makes sense, does it?
Of course not? Okay, God may not make mistakes put
humans do. But I hear stories like Kevin van Loven
and I know they say, don't question God, but sometimes
(01:04:41):
you have to recognize that God didn't give you the
same brains he gave everybody else. Okay, there was certain
periods in time that God was just creating anybody in anything,
all right. Genesis one twenty six says God created man
in his image according his likeness. Right, well, humans, sometimes
we just like to try things, gets the water to
see what sticks. I think God did that when he
(01:05:02):
was creating some humans. Some humans he just created with
his eyes closed. Kevin van Loving might have been one
of him. Okay, God made him and forgot about him.
So then mister van Loving all these years has been
left to his own devices, wandering around life aimlessly by himself,
without God's guidance, only to end up on Chestermee Street
masturbating next to Oscar Grounds trash can while Elmo just
(01:05:25):
minding his business performing Elmo song hit that tune for
Me dramas Come on now, m Kevin van Loving is
somewhere hot and parting right now, that's what does it
for Kevin van Loving chat. Okay, enough enough enough, okay,
(01:05:51):
Kevin van Loving is reinforcing all the pedophile stereotypes. I
told you driving a van and wearing vans is the
sexist fend to start a kid. You know how many
people Chris Hansen caught who fit that profile. And this guy,
Kevin van Loving. Okay, you got caught sexually assaulting an
Elmo doll in a nursery. That sounds pretty peet old
file to me. Okay, Elmo is three and a half
(01:06:14):
years old. Do you know that three and a half
years old? You sick bathter. This is what Kevin van
Loving here is when drunken love plays a swerving on
a swervin swerving on a Let really give Kevin van
(01:06:36):
Loving the biggest he hall he ha he ha, you
stupid mother? Are you dumb? Do it? Envy? Oh? You
don't want to do the voice today? Huh? You wanna
play Elmo to day? Do you? I was gonna say, well,
I'm just curious he won't play a game. You want
to play a game only if you do the voice?
Ask me in the voice you are a black Yes,
I do kiss What Kevin van Loving, Michigan home inspector
(01:07:06):
walked into a nursery and a home saw tickle Miyamo
doll and had his way sexually with it. Jess what
race he is? Angela Ye, start with you. I'll say Caucasian? Okay,
what makes you say this with such confidence? Um, I
don't know. This is what I wanted to be. Okay,
(01:07:30):
uh Rashaan, I want you to do. I need you
to answer in the voice the whole time. Okay, Kevin
van Loving, Yes from Michigan home inspector. You're very familiar
with home inspectors. Right, he was in a home inspecting
he was in a nursery, saw Elmo doll, had his
way with the Elmo doll sexually. Jess what race he is?
(01:07:53):
Let me chuck? The hell did you bend over like that?
For the hell? Were you checking? Look like you wanted
somebody to check you. Hell's wrong with you? I don't know,
I don't know. You both are right. This is absolutely
a colonizer. Okay, this is the highest levels of caucasianary. Okay.
(01:08:19):
The man he is just very heavy in this story.
All right, all right, all right, thank you for that.
You gotta register the sex offender when you do stuff
like this. If you're Kevin van Loven, I'm sure that.
I'm sure that guy asked, well, so I don't think so.
(01:08:40):
All Right, we got more coming up next. We're a
breakfast club, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests joining us this morning. Yes,
indeed you might know them from Real Housewives the Botamic
but they have their own Yeah, well Potomac we have Gazelle,
(01:09:08):
Brian and Robin Dixon. Welcome guys, Thank you for you
know them from Real Housewives. They just launched the podcast
on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network called Reasonably Shady.
That's the hell of a title. Yes, what does that?
What does that name? Me? Well, okay, let me let's
give us the backstory. So um, you know, obviously we've
(01:09:29):
been on the show for Weird about to drop season
six who could believe it? And the trailer and six
the trailer Okay, we're gonna talk about that too. Yes, yes,
I think I was up here. Season one, season two,
Vy was throwing shade like, you know, y'all Potomac house
while I was a broke you know, is insane. Why
(01:09:54):
would you say that for them? Something along those lines. Anyway,
we are have season. We're not your typical households that
people were used to, and I officially was the broke one.
I'm not broke no more. So you was talking about me.
All typical housewid usually amorous or like dad, they're not glad. Wow,
(01:10:19):
every visibly say right now, okay, but we're gonna move
forward anyway, So five times system, we're good. So we
all we all season six, thanks, thank you Jesus were here.
We didn't make gratulations. Um and during the pandemic, you know,
we like everybody else home doing nothing around. Now we're
just like, oh, let's just he now get on Instagram
(01:10:41):
live and talk to the people. So after we did that,
everybody gave feedback like, hey, we love just like being
the third person in y'all's like girlfriend gotsap, So y'all
should start to wat podcast and long behold we're here
black Yeah, yes, and we're think you reasonably shady because
(01:11:01):
on the show, I am the reasonable one. Yes, she's
the shady one. I'm the one. I try to see
the good. I try to see every side to the story.
She just goes for the shade. So yes, and we
and we're we're best friends. And it's very rare you
see people on TV who are literally best friends. And
but it's but it's cool that you get to learn
(01:11:22):
or hear about us outside of the show. Yes, because
on the show we got to kind of stick to
the It's good. Yeah, it's good that you guys are
still best friends, because sometimes these shows really can before
the show before I mean, we're very very close before
the show. Um, and I think Angela, that is why
we're still friends because we had a friendship before the show.
(01:11:43):
And even season one, season two when they work, when
there were things that could have been drive us apart,
I was just like, hell no, Like this is my girl.
If she's wrong, I'm arrived with her wrong. So what
do you think when you see poor show alleged I'm
(01:12:04):
sure you're spoke about it on your podcast when she's
engaged to her ex alleged friends husband. What did y'all
think about it? I just wish they would have waited
a little more time just to like release that, you know, whatever,
things happened, so I wasn't really here for it. It
definitely looks very shady. I think they should have kept
(01:12:24):
a little secret for a little bit more. Know what
about you to shady one? Well, actually, in this instance,
I'm not shady, So you know apportion, I have another
show together called chat Room on Bravo, and it just
so happened, like we filmed Thursday and she said they
got engaged that night, and she was like, oh, justell,
I wanted to tell you, but I found out like
the rest of the world on via the Instagram. But
(01:12:45):
it is hard to find love or lust or whatever
you're looking for out here in these streets. It's hard
to find it. So if she found it, I'm happy
for her. And what if they weren't real friends, What
if they were just friends for the show. There's that,
but still you don't want to see if if found
was still gonna be a part of the of the show.
You don't want to see your ex husband. Also then
(01:13:05):
there on the show with somebody else's actually a real husband,
Like that's not play play. Yeah, after she invited her
into the house and all that others the great storyline,
but what TV you know, I mean, we don't know
if they were really friends and the TV set it
up and they really didn't know each other, you know
what I mean? Right right, Yeah, I don't think they
were friends like that. All right, Now, I saw some
requestions all about you unfollowing Wendy from Real Houseves Epotomic.
(01:13:31):
Right I did. I'm I'm sorry, I don't remember. Really
is one of our newer ladies. She, um, how could
we describe? So she's why I unfollowed her because she's
just not that interesting, like scrawling through. I was like,
just don't look interesting, So I just unfollowed. Yeah, but
it looks like that from the trailer. Something does happen
(01:13:52):
between YouTube just yes, and and and I. We're gonna
let that play out because there's a lot of Um,
there's a lot of things that she thought I did
which I did not do. And the reason why she
thought I did it is because typically I do do
very shady things and I own it, right, and I'm
just like, I'm I'm just I'm just here to like
let everybody live in the truth, so let's just talk
about it. So, but I didn't come at it from
(01:14:16):
a shady perspective. I was really like it was out
of concern, like what's going on in your life? Are
you able to handle social media? Are you able to
handle just like everything that had that goes on and
goes along with being on a reality television stage, Like
it's it's not for the faint of heart. It's very difficult.
You really have to have tough skin. And that was
(01:14:36):
that was the where I was coming from, and she
didn't believe it. Yeah, you know that's a tough one
for both of you, right, dealing with relationships so publicly
it is it is, and I mean, I'll be honest,
my first three seasons on the show, my relationship got
a lot of attention, and you know I responded kind
of not happy about it. But after a while, you're like,
you know what, this is part of this is what
(01:14:58):
I signed up for. This is what I continue just
line up for. This is what comes with the with
the territory, And unfortunately we got to live with it. Yeah,
rather than you have such an interesting situation with your
you guys, did you get married and get engaged? Okay,
so you're not married again yet, so she's lives with
her ex husband. They got engaged again, so you guys
who would get married on this new season. No, not
(01:15:18):
this season. I respect the pandemic and so I was
not trying to have a COVID wedding. I didn't want
to have to adjust my plans and have people wear
a mask. So we're gonna wait. It's fine, We're not
in a rush. That's interesting, but y'all still live with
each other, right, and then y'all made it work again.
So right, got y'all back to So we okay, So
we okay. So my ex husband is a former NBA
(01:15:40):
player Wan Dixon. So we were together since nineteen ninety six. Wow,
we went to college together. Um, we got married in
two thousand and five, we got divorced in two thousand
and twelve. We were still very much connected because we
have two children. Of course, Um, we each went through
bank see foreclosure like all that type of stuff, and
(01:16:02):
so when we were going through that, we kind of
had to come together to support one another to get
through those hard financial times. And then so he had
to move back home. Then when he moved back home,
he had to go back to school to finish his
degree so that he can start his coach his coaching career.
So we pretty much supported one another through our darkest days.
(01:16:22):
And you know when you do that, you just kind
of like realize what's more important. You put the kids first,
we put each other first, and now we back together.
And then he put a ring on it, and then
I want to keep my boo and y'are not the
same people, so y'all probably had to grow in love
with who y'all are now. Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.
We got more with the Housewives of Potomac Gizelle Bryant
and Robin Dixon keep a lock as to Breakfast Club
(01:16:44):
boarding holding everybody is DJ Envy, Angela yee, Charlomagne the
guy we are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it
with Gizelle Bryant and Robin Dixon from Housewives of Potomac. Yee.
And that brings to Giselle and her relationship. Yeah, yeah,
listen because it is a little similar. Right Like you
guys broke up, you're working on getting back together. Some
(01:17:06):
people don't feel like it's a good idea. Even your
own daughters might not necessarily think it's a good idea.
So there's an update, there's a there's a plot twist.
So yes, we were working on a skinting back together
and being back together. And but you know, he lives
in Atlanta. I live in Maryland. With the pandemic, we
realize it's just not the right time, it's just not
(01:17:29):
gonna work. So right now I am footloose and fancy free.
I am single. I'm enjoying my hot girl summer, spring, winter,
and fall. Your dad is real. When you just said that,
I'm thinking about the show. Now, your dad is real. Yeah,
you don't know. Her dad is he said, eighty two
years old. And her dad loves her daughter. And I
(01:17:49):
can tell that your dad really doesn't like your ex
because I feel like your loves her daughter. She's possibly
getting back with a X. My dad don't with the X.
He is clear, he don't hold his tongue. It's not
one of you know you only dinner the TI for
the new season. We do see that that is something
(01:18:11):
that you are still no. No, you know we know
what trailers they kind of cut and splice. See you
like about celectric um okay, but but no, like Jamal
will always be in my life. He's the father to
all of my kids. We've been together, We've been each
in each other's lives twenty five years. He is one
(01:18:32):
of my best friends. I to him, I don't he
doesn't know any I don't know anyone more than I
know a Jamal Bryant. Okay, we're gonna get to that.
We're gonna get to that. Yes, yes he's a pastor,
but um so yes, no we're not together, but yes
we're still in each other's lives where he's still fan. Bam. Um,
(01:18:52):
you know he's he's he's he will always be in
my life now as any father. Um, dad don't care
if the mike off. He does care. But but the
people that I was holding the mic, yeah, they don't.
So you know, he gave his opinion, which is this
isn't the person that I think is best for my
(01:19:14):
daughter period. He doesn't want them to hurt you again exactly.
And your dad's so passionate about that. Do you still say,
you know what, I'm still gonna give this guy a
chance because your dad is your passionate, your hero, right
and when that's raised you the one that's always had
your back. Yes, he sees things that you don't. You
still say, Dad, I'm I gotta figure this out on
my own, or do you say I'm gonna listen to
my dad. Um, I always say I'm gonna do me right,
(01:19:35):
and my Dad's gonna respect me whichever way I go.
No one can tell you what to do. Ever, when
it comes to relationships, you know you're gonna do what
you want to do, even if it doesn't seem practical.
But when but but Envy to answer your question when
he when he found out that, you know, we were
gonna go our separate ways currently, he just was like,
you know, I think that's where you should be right now.
(01:19:56):
And I'm like, Dad, I respect that, I respect how
you feel either way. Um, and my mom the same way.
Like you know, I my parents have shown me the
ultimate love, like no matter what I do, and I
know they don't like it, but they still stand by
my side, you know what I mean for me, that's
like the ultimate love. Now there's also a cast met Um,
I'm sure Charlotman will be interested in this. Yeah, one
(01:20:19):
of the cast mats husband. Yeah, allegedly grab a man's ass. Now,
Charlotte kny would be interested. Why exactly? That's what I
was like, I have a great question yourself. That's why
you have a podcast. Yeah. So they really her husband
really grab a guy's ass. Okay, have we seen him
(01:20:39):
do that? Yes? Do we have videotape of that happening. Yes, Now,
this particular person that you were referring to that it
went to courts, we did not. I did not see
that it was a charge. There was a charge. Oh yes,
it could have charged that dude that your ass in
the building. I definitely didn't charge. Yeah, it wasn't in
the build. I've sew it makes it. It wasn't in
the bild DJ and a party. I killed it on
(01:21:02):
the way I was walking out. He slapped me on
my ass. A good job. But was it a grab
or slash? These were grabs? These were like I'm getting
the meat. And you can hear a little something on
the mic too, as I would call. So what did
she say as being his wife? You know he's Australian,
he's different, he does different and different under he's down
(01:21:23):
under done? No wait a minute, what is that down?
So two? Different to the babe. Okay, anyway, so you
know he's a playful guy and I actually happened to
like Michael right he did he know the guy he
was playing with. It's a game a guy. No, okay,
(01:21:46):
these are two separate instances another one, so they're okay.
So on the right. Season one, on the show, we
peaked him do that to a castmate's boyfriend, right, um
apparently and a producer and he did it. And he
did it to a produce sir, same party season one.
So then season four, while we were filming, a cameraman
(01:22:08):
who was very straight. Yes, a cameraman charged him, Um,
file charges because they said he said he grabbed his
butt while they were filming. Yeah. Now we don't have
that on camera because the man was holding the camera
and I wasn't there. I didn't see it, right. Yeah,
so he says it didn't happen. I mean, of course,
like you know, you don't want to get catch a charge, right,
he says it didn't happen. Um, but because of the
(01:22:30):
track record, yeah, we were too soon. But I have
good news in season this is season six, there was
no but squeezing Butez people has you know, I'm surprised
they would let you stay on the show when you
if like that happens, because that is kind of like
(01:22:50):
that is crazy, Sez a woman's but I mean, like, well, okay,
so he brushed it off his play for in season one, right,
and no one was ada And if Eric wasn't offended, yeah,
cameraman was offended. You can't just play like that. I
gotta know what game we played. Everybody got to be
You can't just go around squeezing things. This is true.
(01:23:14):
But but again I think that he learned from you know,
the court case, and he kept his hands to himself.
He learned his lesson. Yes, he kept his hands, which
I'm very happy to know. All Right, we got more
when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
(01:23:34):
Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still
kicking it with Gizelle Bryant and Robin Dixon from Housewives
of Potomac Yee. Now, I also saw in the trailer
because you know, first of all, you know I love
the real houseves at Potomac. Guy definitely watched the shower.
So you you've been with us, yes, after they have,
so I see that at one point you were depressed
and couldn't get out of the bed. Yeah, I mean
(01:23:55):
the pandemic just like totally changed my life, like not
like for the worst, you know, it just I just
got into a rut um and it was crazy because
I have a I have a booming hat business. Like
where I was, I'm literally I sell out every week
when I get shipments and stuff, and so it was
just mind boggling to me that I have this booming business.
I have so much room for opportunity and growth, and
(01:24:17):
I literally just want to stay in the bid. So
it was something that I kind of had to work through. Um.
As you see, Juan doesn't really like it, um and
we kind of had to work through how he speaks
to me when I'm going through something that a lot
of people frankly are going through. This pandemic has been real. Yeah.
So yeah, I mean that definitely is well we'll see that. Um.
(01:24:43):
I just I had to, you know, go see a
life coach. I had to just you know, really just
take steps to just make things happen, like you just.
I wouldn't even really call it a depression though, because
I think it was more. I read an article they
called its language in the pandemic. So it's like you
just get to a point where it's just your life,
(01:25:06):
like just life is just not normal anymore. And my
normal became like, well and nothing to do today, so
let me stay in the bed like I would literally
wake my kids up for school, you know, get on
the computer, and go back to bed. So, you know,
I just had to just make a list. I had
to knock things out. I just had to kind of
just try to. And then she had a friend that
(01:25:27):
was like, girl, you gotta get out of bed now.
So you'll see on this season reasonably Shady and kind
of how we started with doing our artwork for everything,
I mean, doing doing our photoshoot for the artwork, telling
all the other ladies about reasonably be shady. Robin's get
the hell out of me, because she wasn't at times motivated,
(01:25:48):
and I'm like, we gotta we have a deal with
this black effect, and we have a podcast, and we
gotta get these done. We have a lot of work
to do. And you know, she, Robin has so much
to be grateful for, and I'm just like, you know,
I attributed her not being grateful for everything that God
has given her to her being in the bed, which
(01:26:10):
is not Those do not connect, right, So you know
I had to kind of learn that. Um, but you know,
she snapped out of it and and we're good to god. Yeah,
but it's good. I mean for anyone in a situation
like that, it's good to have people who hold you accountable.
So I have Gizell to hold me accountable because she's
a virgo. She's very like you know, on time, get
it done, doesn't procrastinate. I will give you a little
(01:26:31):
spoiler teaser for the for the show, which I'm probably
gonna get in trouble for. But we have a reasonably
shady party, Robin and I do. And it is so
shady reasonable and it is a mess and it's amazing.
How are you in Karen now? Karen today? We are
good today. Karen is older she um. I mean that's
(01:27:00):
gonna help. That's how you should know her. Yes, yes,
um she Normally she and I kind of go at
it and we and we do. You will see that.
But like today, we're good. But you'll you'll see a
lot of growth with our relationship. All y'all allowed to
talk about like what happens on the show on the podcast.
Will it be like recaps or something? No? Yes, but
(01:27:22):
I feel like charmygne. That's a great thing because there's
so many things that we don't show on the show, right,
So people are able to see other aspects of our lives,
other aspects about what we how we think and how
we feel about certain things. Um, you know, I have
known Robin forever and I didn't know, Like our first
(01:27:43):
episode dropped yesterday, and there's so much that was like
told from Robin to me in that that I was
like shocked. Like we talked about kind of like our
backstory when we were teenagers. I didn't know Robin wasn't
juvenile delinquent. She used to do crazy things. She used
to pour soda cans and mailboxes and just dump stuff
that be careful, Robin, they can't you for you. But
(01:28:10):
to find that out that she was doing all of
that while I've known her forever and I had no idea,
was like nice, Like that's it's just nice that the
viewers are going to be able to listeners are gonna
be able to like see and hear other aspects of
our lives. What do you think about the last season
because people were saying that it was like one of
the best seasons for Housewives, but it was a lot
(01:28:30):
of drama. Yeah, it turned ugly for no reason, and um,
it was unfortunate because I feel like it was there
was a lot of like manipulation on social media that
took place that really affected the show more so than
any other show. So it's like you had the show
and then you had social media. I think it was toxic.
(01:28:52):
I think that there's no reason for us black women
to be fighting physical fighting violence on TV. I think
if you want to fight somebody, fine take her outside
when when cameras are down. Um, and I just it
was that was hard to live through. I forgot about that,
but ahead, Yeah, that was hard to live through from
a show's perspective because it wasn't just a fight between
(01:29:13):
those two people want her off the show after she
pulled her head, Like was it too much physical because
you know, we've seen shows and sometimes you throw a drink.
You know this it was way worse than all of that. No,
you know, my issue was not you know, I think
sometimes people lose their cool. Like I'm see I'm being
reasonable here, right, So people lose their cool, Um, you
make mistakes. If we could have moved forward from it,
(01:29:35):
like the next day and people took ownership of what
happened and not lie and run the social media and
tell a wrong story and then you know, have people
being bullied on social media. That's where it got ugly
for me. But if if the incident happened and then
the next day people apologize and move forward, cool, Yeah,
but she don't. But but as far as the show
(01:29:58):
is because because of that, we don't know. We don't
hire don't because she pulled the girl. I mean from
what I know, she left on her own. Um, but
no one speaks to her now, like no one spoking
to her. I don't, but less Karen does. I don't know. Yeah.
I always feel like, let's do whatever's best for the show, right,
And you know people always ask me, well, did you
(01:30:22):
want her gone? No? I just want what's best for
the show, whatever that means. You know, if if her
being around it's best for the show, cool, her being
gone is best, then that's cool too. But she gone, y'all?
She gone? Right? And one thing, I will never try
to stop someone's bag ever. So I will never try
to get someone fired or say they don't need to
be here. That's not that's not my job. No, But right,
what's best for the show? Can we all co exist?
(01:30:44):
Can we make a good show and everyone co exists. Yeah,
so the show, the show has been beneficial to you both.
It sounds like yeah and today yet out right now
