Speaker 1: Good morning, this is is Thursday. How you feeling. I'm pretty good.
Speaker 1: I've been having like a really long week because you know,
Speaker 1: I was away for a week and a half doing
Speaker 1: all kinds of things, and when you come back, you're
Speaker 1: trying to catch up on everything, have every meeting you
Speaker 1: need to have. So that's basically what I've been trying
Speaker 1: to catch up on so every day it's been like
Speaker 1: back to back to back to back to back work.
Speaker 1: But I enjoy it. And you know, I was at
Speaker 1: my coffee shop. I had a meeting there and then
Speaker 1: I had to do something else on Zoom. Then I
Speaker 1: came back to have a whole nother situation. I'm very
Speaker 1: into theater. So I was interviewing this woman who's going
Speaker 1: to be directing a play that will be in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: and one of the lead actors from the play. It's
Speaker 1: called Wedding Band by Alice Childress, and it's about an
Speaker 1: interracial relationship, is set in South Carolina. So we were
Speaker 1: having a little sit down. But the good thing about
Speaker 1: having a coffee shop is anytime you get tired, you
Speaker 1: know what you do, go get some coffee. Exactly, I
Speaker 1: have to get into coffee. I just in pause, pause, pause.
Speaker 1: I don't like hot things in my mouth, Like I can't.
Speaker 1: You can get iced coffee, yeah, it don't taste to say,
Speaker 1: I actually love. I had an iced mocha yesterday for people,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people ask me who don't drink coffee,
Speaker 1: like if I want to try it, what's something good
Speaker 1: to try? And I like amocha because it has chocolate
Speaker 1: in it, so that's always good, or a latte, and
Speaker 1: I always use oat milk or almond milk instead of
Speaker 1: regular milk. And I don't add like a lot of
Speaker 1: extra things in it because coffee has a lot of help.
Speaker 1: And if it's like I always tell people that you
Speaker 1: may not know, but it definitely keeps you up. And
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm still up from yesterday. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get gonna get my I'm gonna trying some coffee. Like yesterday,
Speaker 1: I took my dad to the game, to Knicks game.
Speaker 1: The next played the Nets last night. I bet the
Speaker 1: next one, right, I know, that's right. They actually did.
Speaker 1: They the Knicks were up by twenty, Knicks came back,
Speaker 1: and I mean our Nets came back in one last night. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The next was just like, let's put on a show,
Speaker 1: you know, and they did. And I thought about it.
Speaker 1: You know, me and my dad go to a bunch
Speaker 1: of football games. We haven't gone to a basketball game.
Speaker 1: And when we were there yesterday, my dad was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you remember when I used to take to these games
Speaker 1: as a kid. We used to sit in Section three
Speaker 1: hundred all the way up there, so it was pretty
Speaker 1: cool to sit on the court side where he could
Speaker 1: watch the game and really enjoy himself. So he had
Speaker 1: a great time last night. So shout the pop Dukes.
Speaker 1: I know he's probably tied because we didn't get back
Speaker 1: too late, but shout the pop Dukes. That's great because
Speaker 1: y'all are both Nuts fans, So that's dope that y'all
Speaker 1: went to the game together Knicks fans. But you said fan, Now, No,
Speaker 1: I'm a Knicks fan, always been a Knicks fan, but
Speaker 1: I want the Nets team. I mean, I'm a New Yorker,
Speaker 1: so I always want New York to win, regardless of
Speaker 1: what it is. So all right, now today we have
Speaker 1: some special guests joining us. We have the mayor of
Speaker 1: Atlantic City, Marty Smalls, who were joining us. Also Quinita Brunson.

Speaker 1: Breakfast club's getting some front page news where we're starting easy.
Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather is returning to the ring in May. He's
Speaker 1: doing an exhibition boxing match and it will literally be
Speaker 1: on a helicopter landing pad in Dubai. According to TMZ Sports,
Speaker 1: he'll take on dangerous Don Moore. It's an eight round
Speaker 1: exhibition fight happening on May fourteenth. That's being called the
Speaker 1: Global Titan Fight Series. Yes, it's the same thing. That's
Speaker 1: the first question people have. That's the only reason he's
Speaker 1: doing it. He's only doing it for the money, which
Speaker 1: I mean, which is fine. You know, forty some years old,
Speaker 1: you're probably still in the ring spar and anyway, just
Speaker 1: for you know, exercise, So why not. I see him
Speaker 1: chaining with a b I see him running and working
Speaker 1: out with each other. But I wonder how much you
Speaker 1: getting paid. It's a lot. I'm sure it's a double
Speaker 1: digit million dollar payd Yeah, we're gonna see soon, all
Speaker 1: right now. A woman in Oklahoma has pleaded guilty and
Speaker 1: a thirty two million dollars COVID relief fraud scam. It
Speaker 1: involved more than one hundred and fifty fraudulent applications for
Speaker 1: loans from the PPP Paycheck Protection Program, which Congress paths
Speaker 1: to help businesses survive the pandemic. She was part of
Speaker 1: that scheme, and her name is Amanda Jay Glorious. She's
Speaker 1: forty five years old. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to
Speaker 1: commit bank fraud and money laundering. She was charged in
Speaker 1: June with helping a New York man get a loan
Speaker 1: for close to one million dollars, and she also submitted
Speaker 1: and got around four hundred and twenty one thousand dollars
Speaker 1: from the pandemic Relief program using a trucking business that
Speaker 1: she owned, but that business hasn't been active since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: And then she conspired to submitt at least one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty three fraudulent PPP applications on behalf of one
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven entities. Well, all you people that got
Speaker 1: defraudulent PPP loans, just know the coast is not clear. Okay,
Speaker 1: the heat is still on. You could be imprisoned by Christmas.
Speaker 1: All right, And six state attorneys generals threatened the NFL
Speaker 1: with the probe over treatment of how they've treated female employees.
Speaker 1: So they said, our offices will use the full weight
Speaker 1: of our authority to investigate and prosecute allegations of harassment, discrimination,
Speaker 1: or retaliation by employers throughout our states, including at the NFL.
Speaker 1: And the attorneys general from New York, Illinois, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Oregon,
Speaker 1: and Washington wrote a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Speaker 1: They said all of this is entirely unacceptable and potentially unlawful.
Speaker 1: All but one of the states have an NFL franchise
Speaker 1: in the state of New York is home to NFL headquarters.
Speaker 1: They said. In New York, where the NFL is headquartered,
Speaker 1: the offense of the Attorney General has never hesitated to
Speaker 1: take action to protect employers from sexual harassment and abuse,
Speaker 1: whether they are entry level employees of the Weinstein Company
Speaker 1: or service and bartenders at batally owned restaurants. So there's
Speaker 1: some potential sexual harassment allegations that have happened former employees.
Speaker 1: So the New York Times that they were held back
Speaker 1: and criticized for having an aggressive tone and often unfair
Speaker 1: stereotype of women, especially women of color, who try to
Speaker 1: advance in a male dominated workplace. Other women reported that
Speaker 1: in a training intended to improve sensitivity on the issue,
Speaker 1: you won't believe this, they were asked to raise their
Speaker 1: hand to self identify if they had been victims of
Speaker 1: domestic violence or knew someone who had. They said, this
Speaker 1: is not doing better. Anti discrimination laws in many states,
Speaker 1: including New York, prohibit employers from subjecting domestic violence victims,
Speaker 1: as well as women and people of color to a
Speaker 1: hostile work environment. The NFL is an old school boys
Speaker 1: clubs never had a reckoning like mean women probably have
Speaker 1: never even been considered in the NFL. Imagine you're being
Speaker 1: abused and they asked you in a meeting, where's your hand?
Speaker 1: Have you been at? I mean, come on, it sounds
Speaker 1: about right for the NFL to mean that. The other fella,
Speaker 1: the old school Boys Club, old school, old school. That's
Speaker 1: old old old old old, old school white man exactly.
Speaker 1: It's old school white Man Boys Club exactly, old school

Speaker 1: comedian Laura Knight and Ta getting into it after he
Speaker 1: interrupted her set he did not like a joke that
Speaker 1: she made about sexual assault allegations that he faced last year. Well,
Speaker 1: the two of them have since made up, and here
Speaker 1: he is talking to her while she's on stage. I'm
Speaker 1: not here to do anything. I love you, I support you,
Speaker 1: all right, he posted. I've said from my entrance into
Speaker 1: the world of comedy that I intend to use my
Speaker 1: light to shine on others to bring awareness to those
Speaker 1: who also have love and respect for the art form
Speaker 1: and the spirit of that everyone. I'd like to introduce
Speaker 1: you to la At. She's Lauren Kay. She's a young
Speaker 1: up and coming comic on the scene in Atlanta. Checker out.
Speaker 1: She's a young black woman fighting to use her voice
Speaker 1: for laughter. And I understand that may take us down
Speaker 1: dark roads and times, but there's always an opportunity to
Speaker 1: find a beacon of light and produce a positive outcome.
Speaker 1: Here's what else he had to say as he gave
Speaker 1: her her props. Every time something bad happened, there's an
Speaker 1: incredible opportunity for something good to him. And I will
Speaker 1: be on his stand up special on Netflix because he's
Speaker 1: gonna get one because he's famous, and I'll be there.
Speaker 1: I willing to anybody. I roal Rider Cotail. Hey, I
Speaker 1: ain't got no love of you. I got with some integrity.
Speaker 1: I mean love and respect for you. And I think
Speaker 1: you have an incredible amount of integrity. I think you
Speaker 1: handled yourself with integrity in this moment, and I think
Speaker 1: it's an incredible opportunity for us to be an example
Speaker 1: for other people who have the scriptancy period. I respected,
Speaker 1: I respected, But who won a million dollars bet? Though?
Speaker 1: Didn't he better a million dollars that he didn't call
Speaker 1: it a be word? I don't need to know who
Speaker 1: won the bet. Well, it's over down. He was joking
Speaker 1: to be comedy. Okay, I'm glad that comedians could get along.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see no beef in the comic
Speaker 1: the comic community. TI is a comedian now, okay, yes,
Speaker 1: and the weekend we'll be joining Swedish House Mafia as
Speaker 1: Coachella co headliners. They are replacing Kanye. You know, Kanye
Speaker 1: did drop out of it, and it's less than two
Speaker 1: weeks away, and so that's what it is now. He
Speaker 1: was supposed to get eight point five million dollars to perform,
Speaker 1: and according to reports, Coachella tried to not pay the
Speaker 1: Weekend as much as they were gonna pay Kanye. It
Speaker 1: was eight million dollars plus a five hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: production fee. So the Weekend has demanded that he get
Speaker 1: that same amount of money and that they don't just
Speaker 1: put that money back in their pockets. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: would too. Well, the weekend is the Weekend, but it's
Speaker 1: still Kanye West. Right, Like, it comes down to who
Speaker 1: would do a bigger draw. Don't you think bottom of
Speaker 1: the knife? It's bottom of the knife. You need a performer,
Speaker 1: you need an artist. Kanye dropped out, You need somebody,
Speaker 1: you need me. I don't think nobody think that's I
Speaker 1: don't think that's not gonna stop nobody from going to Coachella.
Speaker 1: In people are gonna be upset this Sunday headliner because
Speaker 1: you know they have three different days. Yeah, so parents.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Coachella already was sold out before they announced Kanye,
Speaker 1: but I heard people saying that they were upset because
Speaker 1: they wanted to see Kanye. I'm sure. And if the
Speaker 1: Weekend can get the eight million, get the eight million.
Speaker 1: I'm just staying from a business perspective, I would be like, well,
Speaker 1: you're not necessarily Kanye, you are the Weekend. But Coachella
Speaker 1: got it. Of course they got They have the money
Speaker 1: and the other things. And the other thing is I'm
Speaker 1: filling in at the last minute. Yeah, a middle vacation.

Speaker 1: on the sixth. Oh you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: why would that be a good comparison. Well, they have
Speaker 1: identified people off of videos and off of pictures, and
Speaker 1: so that's what they're doing now. They have, like I said,
Speaker 1: millions of recordings of interaction. So in criminal court you
Speaker 1: can be prosecuted for those things. And what are you
Speaker 1: watching the water? Am I tripping? Aren't we watching the war? Yes?
Speaker 1: We are? We seeing the bodies on television. Absolutely, the bombs,
Speaker 1: the missile what's the investigation. It's an individuals. So if
Speaker 1: you see if you have a video of a person
Speaker 1: doing something, and um, that's what they're making sure that
Speaker 1: they're creating a database. And they said it's geolocated photographs
Speaker 1: and videos showing incidents of civilian harm that include hundreds
Speaker 1: of incidents. You can view it by simply clicking on
Speaker 1: a map, and then you use that information to identify
Speaker 1: these real people. Oh. I thought he even talking about
Speaker 1: Putin the whole time. Now he's talking about like soldiers everything,
Speaker 1: because what they're doing is uh, even with buildings that
Speaker 1: clearly said in Russian children, they're bombing those buildings. They're
Speaker 1: killing people on the streets, civilians, and those are war crimes,
Speaker 1: you're not you know. So they're working to bring war
Speaker 1: criminals to trial. But I feel like the biggest head
Speaker 1: haunch on all of this would be Putin, right, absolutely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we get to go get to head. But the
Speaker 1: soldiers can't just be out here doing things like uh,
Speaker 1: like I said, bombing children's hospitals and all of that.
Speaker 1: They're accountable too. They're taking orders thought the king is Putin,
Speaker 1: but that's still criminal activity because you know, that's what
Speaker 1: is considered a war crime. But if you're a troop
Speaker 1: and you're a soldier, you're fighting for your country. And
Speaker 1: then when you're when your leader told you to do something,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do it. If you don't, you get
Speaker 1: in trouble. You can get arrested for treat I've seen
Speaker 1: people talking about accounts of you know, them separating them
Speaker 1: from their husband, their families, and then then they're finding
Speaker 1: their husband outside shot killed in this three hours later. Well,
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen situations of women being raped and
Speaker 1: things like that. You know, one woman talking about how
Speaker 1: she was raped repeatedly and then the soldiers came back.
Speaker 1: I don't know that Putin is saying do that, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it still sounds like, you know, they are trying
Speaker 1: to avoid the biggest issue, which is going to get
Speaker 1: Putin because if they go after Putin and it's well,
Speaker 1: I think you can do both too. I saw them
Speaker 1: asking the press secretary, you know, why don't they just
Speaker 1: engage in war, and she was like a World War
Speaker 1: awards and something that we want right now. But if
Speaker 1: you know that this guy is the head of Ancho,
Speaker 1: the kingpins calling all of these shots why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: just go get them. I don't know if it's that easy,
Speaker 1: but all right. And women in Russia are also videoing
Speaker 1: themselves scissoring up their expensive Channel bags. They're protesting being
Speaker 1: barred from new purchases by their favorite brand. Channel. Chanelle
Speaker 1: has pulled out of Russia. They stopped selling to wealthy Russians.
Speaker 1: Buyers have to sign a pledge that they will not
Speaker 1: wear or display that brand in Russia. So now a
Speaker 1: lot of the you know, influencers are saying that they
Speaker 1: are against Russia phobia and if owning Channel means selling
Speaker 1: my motherland and I don't need Channel, and so now
Speaker 1: they're trying to cut up there. They are cutting up
Speaker 1: their Channel bags and posting videos of that. But if
Speaker 1: you go to Channel and you're from Russia and you
Speaker 1: try to buy something, they will ban you from being
Speaker 1: able to do that. That statement sounded a wow. When
Speaker 1: you first said you're like, women in Russia are scissoring up,
Speaker 1: I was like, what pause, that's what we're thinking about
Speaker 1: it at a time like this, cutting their backs started it.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of sis the naked up referred to
Speaker 1: as one way sir. Okay, all right, there's more definitions.
Speaker 1: All right, Well that is your front page news. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, we
Speaker 1: got a special guest joining us. Charlomagne sat down, lady,
Speaker 1: yes man. You know, I do a series with the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter called Emerging Hollywood, where I sit down with
Speaker 1: people who are doing their thing Intencil Town, and Quinta
Speaker 1: Brunson is absolutely a human that's doing her things. She's
Speaker 1: the creator and start of Abbott Elementary on ABC, a
Speaker 1: show that is setting records on ABC, highest rated comedy
Speaker 1: since Modern Family, most tweeted show, all that good stuff,
Speaker 1: and one of my personal favorite shows right now to watch.
Speaker 1: So yes, I'll be talking to her. Next, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. Next is to Breakfast Club. Good Morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got
Speaker 1: a special guest in the building, Quinta Brunson, you know,
Speaker 1: the creator of Abbott Elementary. Good morning. How are you feeling.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. I am really happy to have this
Speaker 1: conversation because I am a real big fan. What was
Speaker 1: life like growing up, you know in West Philadelphia, you
Speaker 1: had too. I know it's okay. I let people get
Speaker 1: it out of their system. You know, it was great.
Speaker 1: I love growing up in Philly. It's a beautiful city
Speaker 1: with a ton of culture. It was a nice environment
Speaker 1: to grow up in. And being the youngest of five,
Speaker 1: I just kind of took so much from my siblings.
Speaker 1: They were older. They were experiencing comedy in their own ways.
Speaker 1: Like their favorite things range from Kings of Comedy to
Speaker 1: I don't know, like Conan to my mom and dad
Speaker 1: like really old shows like the Bob Newhart Show and
Speaker 1: The Jeffersons and stuff. So I feel like all that
Speaker 1: funneled into me and my brother, who's closest to me,
Speaker 1: like that he's been tour so I got the stupid
Speaker 1: stuff too. It all just funneled down. So it's name.
Speaker 1: Being the youngest of five did you get away with
Speaker 1: a lot. I have more eyes on me, for sure.
Speaker 1: My parents were very overprotective. Really by the time they
Speaker 1: get to the youngest ones, they kind of like, they
Speaker 1: don't read the youngest to do the oldest. In my case,
Speaker 1: they were very overprotective. If it made me more adventurous
Speaker 1: to go out and do my own stuff. So I
Speaker 1: found new ways to defy them. And you said that
Speaker 1: when you can make your siblings laugh, you knew you
Speaker 1: were doing something right. So how would you make them laugh?
Speaker 1: One of the big things was them putting me in
Speaker 1: a car seat and making me do impressions of Wanda
Speaker 1: from and Living Color. They made me redo Martin episodes,
Speaker 1: like from beginning to end. You can remember whole episodes
Speaker 1: of Martin, but I was younger. Yeah, still can. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of Fresh Prince episodes I can't remember from
Speaker 1: beginning and like can almost quote so stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It was kind of knowing these shows like the back
Speaker 1: of my hand to be able to say the lines
Speaker 1: to them later. That was the way to connect to them.
Speaker 1: I was also so far away from them. My closest
Speaker 1: sibling is eight years older than me and my other siblings.
Speaker 1: It's you know, ten years, fifteen years, and then twenty years.
Speaker 1: As a kid, I couldn't really relate to them. But
Speaker 1: making them laugh was how I got to, you know,
Speaker 1: hang out with them. In our whole family, like my
Speaker 1: mom and dad too, we all really came together over comedies.
Speaker 1: It was like the one thing that we could all
Speaker 1: agree on was a good a good sitcom. At the
Speaker 1: end of the day, you were raised, jehover Witness, So
Speaker 1: was I You were. Absolutely my mom still my mom
Speaker 1: still go to the kingdom all to this way what
Speaker 1: I did, not ya, so is mine. So how strict
Speaker 1: was your upbringing? Very Ye I'm saying over protective. I
Speaker 1: can just use now you know what I'm talking about, Like,
Speaker 1: they were very strict. Also, I was the only kid
Speaker 1: that was born and raised in it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Wait, that's not true. Me and my young
Speaker 1: my brother closest to me. The rest of them weren't
Speaker 1: like raised jose Witness. Oh, I was a whole family.
Speaker 1: What Oh yeah, I had the whole righteous, ratcheous mom
Speaker 1: and dads. My dad ended up getting this fellowship because
Speaker 1: he got baptized on the end business getting back. I
Speaker 1: believe this conversation right, Absolutely, I should beat this fellowship.
Speaker 1: I'm on the run. You'll never get me. You never
Speaker 1: got baptized, that's why. Yeah, because I knew that was
Speaker 1: too much fresh I did because I was so ambitious,
Speaker 1: such an ambitious thirteen year old. Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh love God, I didn't do
Speaker 1: but that's too much pressure. I know, well, you had
Speaker 1: enough foresight. Have you held on to any of those
Speaker 1: traditions I have you go to memorial service? Still, memorial
Speaker 1: is the one thing I'll try really hard to go to,
Speaker 1: and it gets harder for me every single year. There's
Speaker 1: always a new obstacle. Last year I tried to go.
Speaker 1: I show up. It's a Korean hall. I was like,
Speaker 1: what the hell, Like, why can't I couldnot win? So
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there dressed like a slut in comparison,
Speaker 1: never was like because I was also trying to go
Speaker 1: to this party after so I was like, I'm just
Speaker 1: wearing this dress. It was a little short, but I
Speaker 1: was like, it's cool. I'm sitting the back. They're just
Speaker 1: like appalled at what I'm wearing, and I'm like, calm down.
Speaker 1: I was gonna sit in the back if I could
Speaker 1: get in anyway. The brothers are just like looking at me.
Speaker 1: All you want to do with pass some bready wine.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it gets hurt or hurt every single year,
Speaker 1: but I keep trying to show up. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why it wasn't for me, But
Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad, and I think it weren't
Speaker 1: for that, I'm not sure that me and my siblings
Speaker 1: would have like survived Philadelphia at the time. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: that kind of structure, I guess in faith, it kind
Speaker 1: of keeps you out of trouble, which is why people
Speaker 1: hold on dear to religion period. You know, it keeps
Speaker 1: you on a good path. So I'm grateful about holidays.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about those now? You know we
Speaker 1: didn't get those kids. We didn't There was one year
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see what it feels like, what
Speaker 1: it feels like, So I went to write it and
Speaker 1: got like a plastic Christmas tree and I just put
Speaker 1: it and I put it in my apartment and I
Speaker 1: just looked at it, and I left it there for
Speaker 1: like maybe one night, and then I took an out
Speaker 1: through it in trash. But I just wanted to see
Speaker 1: what it felt like. You never just wanted to see.
Speaker 1: I mean, I do it now because I got to
Speaker 1: know a whole family. So it's like my wife up
Speaker 1: so you'd be out here cler in Christmas. I enjoy
Speaker 1: it though, but not because of Yo. That's so awkward
Speaker 1: with you. Did you ever feel like an outside in
Speaker 1: high school? Sad way? I also went to a school
Speaker 1: that was an art school, so everybody in the school
Speaker 1: was kind of an outsider, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Everyone was very accepted because you were the only reason
Speaker 1: we're there in the first place was because you were
Speaker 1: kind of a weirdo. It encouraged us all to go
Speaker 1: into like whatever we wanted to do, and I wish
Speaker 1: more kids had that for sure. Did you have any
Speaker 1: insecurity growing up? There was a point where I thought
Speaker 1: if I had a big butt and I could sing,
Speaker 1: and my life would be different, and that was an
Speaker 1: insecurity for a while. I remember like stuffing my pants,
Speaker 1: like I wore like three pairs of tights to school
Speaker 1: one day because I wanted to have a bigger butt
Speaker 1: And I know, I don't know what the girls are
Speaker 1: gonna do now, I mean, for me, it was just
Speaker 1: I was trying to, like you, just wanted to be
Speaker 1: like I was a little stick thin little girl and
Speaker 1: who was popular time, like Buffy the body Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: what's her name from? Flavor of Love? Delicious? And like
Speaker 1: you just wanted to you know, So that was probably
Speaker 1: my only insecurity. I had a really bad breakup in
Speaker 1: college high school boyfriend and in college we broke up
Speaker 1: and it was so bad. It was so bad that
Speaker 1: I had no choice but to put myself back together.
Speaker 1: And when you get your heart broken that bad and
Speaker 1: everything falls apart and you put yourself back together, you didn't,
Speaker 1: You didn't become invincible. And then like all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff doesn't matter anymore, Like I just don't care
Speaker 1: about it anymore. What helps you put things back together?
Speaker 1: And you said everything fell apart after the breakup? Like,
Speaker 1: did you start going to see a therapists? Are? No?
Speaker 1: Therapy wasn't It wasn't the conversation that it is now,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? At the time, I
Speaker 1: think I probably should have back then because I was
Speaker 1: like depressed, but I barely had the language to identify
Speaker 1: it as depression. Did you drink really smokes? No? I
Speaker 1: wish no. I probably would have helped me gift through
Speaker 1: it better. No, I was such a nube at the time.
Speaker 1: I didn't really drink. I had many days that were
Speaker 1: pretty much dropped out of school because of that, which
Speaker 1: was crazy. I never I don't talk about that a lot,
Speaker 1: but I did pretty much drop out because I just
Speaker 1: could not peel myself out of the bed and depression.
Speaker 1: It was depression, and I just didn't identify it as
Speaker 1: a And I watched the same DVD of Bruce Almighty
Speaker 1: on repeat every day. I couldn't pick up the remote
Speaker 1: to change the DVD. I couldn't even peel myself out
Speaker 1: of bed to take the DVD out of the DVD players.
Speaker 1: I watched it over and over. I sought out like
Speaker 1: help from friends, you know, like friends helped me out
Speaker 1: big time. I had one friend, Brandy, who gave me
Speaker 1: a list of affirmations to say in the window, sorry,
Speaker 1: in the window, in the mirror, and that I remember
Speaker 1: that being a specific thing that helped me. I remember
Speaker 1: thinking it was very stupid, but then I would say
Speaker 1: the affirmation to myself in the mirror every single day,
Speaker 1: and after a year it felt like they had worked.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, those little things like that. I picked myself
Speaker 1: back up eventually and started making plans to work, to
Speaker 1: go to LA. It was really making plans that helped
Speaker 1: pull me out of that, I think, because even when
Speaker 1: I came to LA, I was still dealing with it,
Speaker 1: and I just, I don't know, I worked my way
Speaker 1: out of it. Did it feel you in some way?
Speaker 1: Like I always think about that. Uh, I think that
Speaker 1: Margu Zuckerberg will uniting and he kept hitting created a
Speaker 1: faceboo basing because of this young lady. But if you
Speaker 1: like that, yeah, I mean when that away from broke
Speaker 1: over me, I was like, I don't know how, but
Speaker 1: you see my face everywhere and then and I did
Speaker 1: not know how, and then you know, like then I
Speaker 1: like head gone viral and Instagram and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So I think it definitely did. But now that's all
Speaker 1: going away. I like, did that and we're friends now
Speaker 1: and yeah, but it definitely feeled me at the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. We got more with Quinta Brunson. When we
Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club the morning
Speaker 1: morning everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy
Speaker 1: we all to Breakfast Club, still kicking it with Quinta Brunton. Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: did you ever start your own journey going to therapy?
Speaker 1: Things like that, like how does quint the heal? I
Speaker 1: haven't gone to therapy. I do have a journey though,
Speaker 1: Like there are things that I do to take care
Speaker 1: of my mental health. Sometimes that's just resting, Sometimes that's
Speaker 1: just being with friends and family when I need to.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's so checking in with myself, making sure I'm
Speaker 1: not doing harmful things to my for my mental health,
Speaker 1: like comparisons. I think that's a small thing that people
Speaker 1: don't think about that really messes with your mental health,
Speaker 1: you know, comparing, And I always have to check in,
Speaker 1: especially as I'm you know, having this moment with Abbod.
Speaker 1: I always have to check in and ground myself, so
Speaker 1: I try to be very active doing that. I feel
Speaker 1: like my mental health is in a really good place,
Speaker 1: but if it ever weren't, I would tap in and
Speaker 1: not ignore it. I think your parents had no clue
Speaker 1: you were taking classes at the Second City in Chicago
Speaker 1: while you were studying at Temple in Philly. How did
Speaker 1: you pull that off? I told them I was saying
Speaker 1: in my friend's dorm and I would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm staying on campus, gotta study. Just lying. I was
Speaker 1: such a little liar. I had to, though, And it
Speaker 1: was funny because you would have thought I was, like,
Speaker 1: you know, doing something really bad and I'm going to
Speaker 1: take improv classes. And I would lie and be like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to a campus party and meanwhile I'd be
Speaker 1: flying to Chicago, and I did it like seven times.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I pulled it off. Make you
Speaker 1: feel like you was living like a duel, absolutely lived
Speaker 1: a double life for a long time. Who had more
Speaker 1: influence on your career Your sixth grade teacher, Miss Abbott.
Speaker 1: I heard you ran into Paul Rudd at a movie theater. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that little gym that Paul Rudd dropped on me that
Speaker 1: I don't that he barely remembers. It was just one
Speaker 1: of those little sparks that makes you believe something as
Speaker 1: possible about my teacher, Miss Abbott and my mother. Really,
Speaker 1: who's like the inspiration behind Abbott? Your teachers are to
Speaker 1: me ultimately responsible for your ability to read, right, articulate,
Speaker 1: present yourself. They turn you into a human. So I
Speaker 1: was really fortunate enough to have really good teachers that
Speaker 1: I loved. It always like bugs me out when people
Speaker 1: talk about having a teacher they hated. I just never
Speaker 1: had that experience. So not only did it inspire me
Speaker 1: to make Abbott clearly influential for that reason, but they
Speaker 1: were good at making people like like, turning kids into
Speaker 1: good people, citizens, creators, etc. I would is a hit
Speaker 1: like a hit, hit like a big like, how does
Speaker 1: it feel to receive so much praise for the show.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy, I you know, I keep saying, when
Speaker 1: we made the show and we sold it, we felt
Speaker 1: like this is good. When I wrote the pilot, I
Speaker 1: was like, this is good. We got the writers and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, we're making good stuff here, right,
Speaker 1: And then you get on set and everyone's like, we
Speaker 1: feel like we'ren't making a good show. Like from everybody
Speaker 1: from you know, hear and makeup to directors, to the
Speaker 1: to the COVID crew, everyone's like, this feels good. And
Speaker 1: so we knew we're making something good. But for it
Speaker 1: to go out into the world and people feel the
Speaker 1: same way and to come to the show so soon.
Speaker 1: I was expecting it to be like I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, it's airing weekly on ABC,
Speaker 1: like it's not going to catch one until it's full
Speaker 1: season on streaming. I did not imagine this energy so fast,
Speaker 1: And I'm just like in awe of it, very humbled
Speaker 1: by it. I'm so happy that people are seeking out
Speaker 1: something like this to watch, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: There are times I wondered if it was too I
Speaker 1: knew it was good, but I was like, ah, man,
Speaker 1: I wonder if people don't want heartwarming. I don't know
Speaker 1: where people are these days, but I knew that there
Speaker 1: was a market there for it because people keep rewatching
Speaker 1: old sitcoms or Netflix. My nieces fourteen and she's just
Speaker 1: now discovering, like you know, friends and the Office, and
Speaker 1: she she loves it. She loves the feel of it,
Speaker 1: you know. And I was like, so that feeling there
Speaker 1: will always be run for that. I guess I just
Speaker 1: expected people to ignore it for a while. And the
Speaker 1: fact that they hadn't, I mean, thank you, thanks to
Speaker 1: everyone for watching, because you know, like Avid, is what
Speaker 1: happens when these networks give black creatives real budgets and
Speaker 1: and don't get in their way. Yeah, when it comes
Speaker 1: to notes and stuff like that, I have to agree
Speaker 1: with that. They sold ABC to me, like, here's what
Speaker 1: we can do for you, Here's how we want to
Speaker 1: listen to and support you. I'd never had a beating
Speaker 1: like that in my life. I knew it was the
Speaker 1: partnership I needed to create the it is kind of
Speaker 1: a show. Wow, you know, I knew that they were
Speaker 1: gonna let me let me cook. You don't really get
Speaker 1: that on network. I knew that this was a network
Speaker 1: sitcom too. I knew it was twenty two minutes. I
Speaker 1: knew that it was built for that. You know that
Speaker 1: World ABC was definitely the place I just felt they
Speaker 1: were gonna let me. They believed in me. Like you said,
Speaker 1: the budget was there up front. You know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: a fight for because it's surprising how much you know,
Speaker 1: we still have to fight for penny sometimes. Absolutely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's clear you have a lot of respect
Speaker 1: for teachers, and you know I love that because my
Speaker 1: mom is a post school Yeah. So did you set
Speaker 1: out to make to make commentary on undefunded schools? Was
Speaker 1: that the goal? Not necessarily? I think a good show
Speaker 1: begins with a grounded topic, right, Like we may not
Speaker 1: think of it that way, but like The Office was about, um,
Speaker 1: you know, the the work crisis at the time. You know,
Speaker 1: we were coming out of recession, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And when you build something from that play, it automatically
Speaker 1: yields good fruit most of the time. So my idea
Speaker 1: was to begin from that place. We have this, I've
Speaker 1: seen it firsthand what teachers go through from day to day.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't necessarily setting out to change anything or
Speaker 1: like beat people over the head with the message. I
Speaker 1: just knew that if we started in the real place,
Speaker 1: with the state of where we are right now, that
Speaker 1: that's the best way to start a comedy. I think
Speaker 1: that's because a lot of people just like to be
Speaker 1: funny first, and that's what you know, funny right, funny.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, can I create a story? Can something
Speaker 1: real and funny will come? That's it's weird because people
Speaker 1: look at it. The jokes are really like the easy part.
Speaker 1: You can you know whatever, but you have to have
Speaker 1: a soul of a show first. The show doesn't have
Speaker 1: a soul then you know what I mean, Like the
Speaker 1: jokes don't matter and anyone can say them. Like the
Speaker 1: soul of the show creates the humor of the show.
Speaker 1: There are things that people find funny in the show
Speaker 1: that aren't even jokes, but it's because you know the
Speaker 1: soul of the show. And I think that also is
Speaker 1: a marker of a good comedy, like in Sidefeld, like
Speaker 1: no soup for you like means nothing if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen Seinfeld, But if you have seen Seinfeld, that can
Speaker 1: make you cry laughing and that's because of the soul
Speaker 1: of the comedy, you know, like that kind of stuff matters.
Speaker 1: I think you're making a good show. I think I
Speaker 1: read some with it. You don't like tackling issues. I
Speaker 1: don't know really If this gets tackled, and so be it.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to like, that's so much pressure, and
Speaker 1: why do we always have to tackle issues? How could
Speaker 1: make can't make some dumb like you know, like that's
Speaker 1: a great point. I think it's only because black people
Speaker 1: feel like we're not being represented, so we kind of
Speaker 1: want to show the world like what's going on a
Speaker 1: lot of times. But is it still not representation if
Speaker 1: not true? You know what I'm saying. I really don't
Speaker 1: like I said that in an interview and I felt
Speaker 1: like that came out wrong. But I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to start from that point because that's
Speaker 1: not funny to me. That's not where I operate best.
Speaker 1: Like I said, the issue gets tackled and so be it.
Speaker 1: Similar like what's happening with the Abbott But those were
Speaker 1: naturally the places we were going to go and talking
Speaker 1: about what happens in a school, what happens with the
Speaker 1: school district, but starting there just feels so you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, how do you feel when you think about,
Speaker 1: you know, the fact that people might see themselves in
Speaker 1: the character of Janine. I love that. That makes me happy.
Speaker 1: I actually love when girls will tweet and say, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I think I'm Janine, like like it's the
Speaker 1: worst revelation because you know, Jane's kind of annoying and peppie,
Speaker 1: but she's earnest, and I think it's beautiful that people
Speaker 1: can see themselves be all of that. You know. One
Speaker 1: of the big things for me with Janine was clearly
Speaker 1: she has a big heart, but to a fault, you know,
Speaker 1: and she's wrong a lot and right a lot. And
Speaker 1: I think it's really cool that young women, and especially
Speaker 1: young black women can see themselves in this poorly dressed
Speaker 1: like always making mistakes girl. I think that's actually special
Speaker 1: for us. To me, that feels like a version of representation,
Speaker 1: like to identify with someone who is not together yet.
Speaker 1: I think that's fun. You know. So at some point
Speaker 1: she has to break up with the aspiring rapper though, okay,
Speaker 1: what is why are people so mad? People like, like,
Speaker 1: because you could do better? People's parents call me we
Speaker 1: got to lose Trek. I'd be like, what, Like I
Speaker 1: was at like a Jewish wedding and this Jewis grandmother
Speaker 1: grabbed my face and was like, you need to leave
Speaker 1: the boyfriend. I'm like this, it's just a show, and
Speaker 1: she's like, I don't like it. Like people felt very strongly,
Speaker 1: if he makes it, are you gonna You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a deal? You gonna sign our dream chases? Or sometimes look,
Speaker 1: people hated him in an episode two Now They're said
Speaker 1: they nearly don't want to see him go after his
Speaker 1: fade performance. They're like, they're all about him. We got
Speaker 1: more with Quinta Brunston when we come back, don't move.
Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: still kicking him with Quinta Brunton. Charlomagne, you said Abbott
Speaker 1: is the first time since high school did your said
Speaker 1: she's proud of you. Wow, how didn't make you feel?
Speaker 1: That was a moment. I almost cried when she said that,
Speaker 1: and she didn't even know why. I was like, you
Speaker 1: have not said that to me, and I don't know
Speaker 1: how long because everything else I was doing, you know,
Speaker 1: Witnesses she found blasphemous, like Black Lady Sketchule. She was
Speaker 1: like HBO the nudity network, and I was like yeah,
Speaker 1: So she didn't like that. I would tell her or
Speaker 1: this place called BuzzFeed, and she would like, tell me
Speaker 1: the truth. Are you stripping? And it'd be like she
Speaker 1: really could not. I'm so serious. She could not understand
Speaker 1: what but it made no sense to her. And I
Speaker 1: showed her the website and she's like, this is nothing.
Speaker 1: This is a website. And I would show her videos
Speaker 1: and she's like still not, well, how are you making
Speaker 1: money from this? But now you know ABC, she can
Speaker 1: understand a TV show that made sense to her, So
Speaker 1: she gets it now and she loves it. She's such
Speaker 1: a sitcom watcher that if she didn't like it, she
Speaker 1: would like say it like her comedy opinion means a
Speaker 1: lot to me. She told me two weeks ago, She's like,
Speaker 1: I'll watch this even if you know it wasn't your show,
Speaker 1: Like I love this show. That means a lot to
Speaker 1: me for sure. I don't think parents realize how much
Speaker 1: those I love you and I'm proud of you. How
Speaker 1: far they go for all of us, even when we've
Speaker 1: become a dose that a child still wants to hear that.
Speaker 1: I know she probably won't told me again for like
Speaker 1: ten years, but I'm gonna hold on to that one.
Speaker 1: Sorr Brabbit executive producer, head writer as well. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of responsibility. Yeah, it's got to be
Speaker 1: at least two hundred people. Yeah, right, Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. Does that weigh on you mentally? Only
Speaker 1: sometimes when I feel I like, even right now, I'm
Speaker 1: like I have to I am speaking for myself, but
Speaker 1: I do feel like I need to represent an entire
Speaker 1: group of people. I want people to be able to
Speaker 1: have jobs next year on the Abbit. I want to
Speaker 1: make sure the show keeps going, so I want to
Speaker 1: try to present myself on behalf of the entire production.
Speaker 1: And besides that, No, because everybody else is so good
Speaker 1: at their jobs that it made my life so much easier.
Speaker 1: It made it easier to delegate, to communicate because everyone
Speaker 1: else was so fantastic. Yes, it's a lot of work
Speaker 1: and a lot of pressure, but I don't feel it
Speaker 1: because everyone rose to the occasion. Sunded. I play video
Speaker 1: games yep, I go bowling. I see my family as
Speaker 1: much as I can. I talk to my family constantly
Speaker 1: because my family is they're not like my sisters still
Speaker 1: just like will make fun of me, and I think
Speaker 1: I need that, do you know what I mean? And
Speaker 1: they keep me very ground. They're just staying connected to
Speaker 1: them and I honestly even't staying connected to Philly, like
Speaker 1: working with m Philly organizations. There's an organization called Yeah
Speaker 1: Philly that I've been working with since twenty nineteen and
Speaker 1: that they work with youth in the area. It's like
Speaker 1: an anti gun violence initiative ran by Philly kids. It's
Speaker 1: incredible and just saying tapped in with the city and
Speaker 1: my family, I think really keeps me, keeps my feet
Speaker 1: on the ground. Do you feel success yet? I feel
Speaker 1: it in small ways, Like when I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna buy a cappuccino maker. I know that seems small people,
Speaker 1: but like little ways where I'm like, oh, and then
Speaker 1: I called my business managin it like leave us alone
Speaker 1: buy the cappuccino maker, and I just was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I thought, so little ways like that where I want
Speaker 1: to buy something but I'm so used to being I
Speaker 1: used to be broke for a long time, so I
Speaker 1: don't know, those things seem big to me. This wasn't
Speaker 1: doing this last year. I was afraid to talk to you. Actually,
Speaker 1: I was like afraid because your show. Sometimes You're like yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, I've talked to
Speaker 1: Charlotte Magine and I was like, but that's also a
Speaker 1: good sign of doing something. I want that reputation. By
Speaker 1: the way, no positive affirmations for me. This has been nice,
Speaker 1: this has been lovely. This is positive, right, this has
Speaker 1: been lovely, But I have happened such a good time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: final question, what does Quinta ultimately want to do? What
Speaker 1: do you want out of all of this? I hope
Speaker 1: that after you know, the show finished, is airing it,
Speaker 1: it will have made something in the world just a
Speaker 1: little bit better. And I don't want to do that
Speaker 1: by putting it in the show. I just want people
Speaker 1: to have a good time watching it. I want them
Speaker 1: to leave thinking about the human condition a little bit more.
Speaker 1: As you can see, we've we've started doing our part
Speaker 1: with helping with schools and so we've got that covered.
Speaker 1: But if other people are inspired to go, you know,
Speaker 1: help in any way they came to schools. That's incredible.
Speaker 1: I love when people like just tell me, hey, I
Speaker 1: made a donation today, or hey, I checked into a meeting,
Speaker 1: a local meeting, because anyone can go to these meetings
Speaker 1: for schools at you know, government meetings or whatever. All
Speaker 1: that makes me really happy. And other than that, I'd
Speaker 1: like a farm eventually. Oh so I'm working toward that
Speaker 1: nice farm. I'll live in la and I'll live in
Speaker 1: the city and stuff. But one day I want to
Speaker 1: retire and you will never see me again. Why a farm?
Speaker 1: Why not a farm? Everything's going to show. I want
Speaker 1: to grow my own food. I want to have a
Speaker 1: compound and uh, you know, I have some animals, and
Speaker 1: so that's my plan. Quinta, it was a pleasure and
Speaker 1: I just want to continue to see you grow. This
Speaker 1: was lovely, I hope. So it was like, this was
Speaker 1: a wonderful experience. It's a long change of perception to me.
Speaker 1: You hated me. I didn't know what did you think
Speaker 1: of me? To answer that, I don't want to know.
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't want to know for my
Speaker 1: own compion's sake. Okay, yes, thank you, thank listen, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. Report it's retreat club. But carpool carry Yucky
Speaker 1: is back. Did you know there was a two year hiatus?
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that, but yes, that late Late Show
Speaker 1: segment returned yesterday and Nicki Minaje is in the passenger
Speaker 1: see talk about it back with a bang now Here
Speaker 1: she is talking about her ops. Who is your ops?
Speaker 1: Right now? I call this problem with my neighbor pop
Speaker 1: up one And I like your dog, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be outside after ten pm, barky. I've got
Speaker 1: young kids, that's right, Yeah, okay, Graham and Brenda and
Speaker 1: we're gonna pull up on you and your dog around
Speaker 1: and Brenda and we're gonna make it black black and
Speaker 1: what we say and the dog. I don't want anyone
Speaker 1: to be hurt. I just want them to understand that
Speaker 1: we've got If we don't hurt them, how are they
Speaker 1: going to understand? Well, different, it's a different way. There's
Speaker 1: a way I'm doing it, way off. It's yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: going to exact tackle this on my own. They are
Speaker 1: nice on text. No, if they have tips, don't just
Speaker 1: have your number. Oh well then they're not ops, all right.
Speaker 1: In addition to that, she talks about how quickly she writes?
Speaker 1: How quickly can you write her apps? Well, Chun Lee,
Speaker 1: I wrote very quickly, like in a couple of hours,
Speaker 1: I had everything around. Oh wow, m do you think
Speaker 1: you're able to write a beat about anything? Um, you
Speaker 1: need any help? I'm a pretty good beat boxer and
Speaker 1: do it? And Jane um looking good like like we
Speaker 1: know they would shoot. Oh wait, I thought we were
Speaker 1: Dune all right. In addition to them, Nikki talked about anxiety.
Speaker 1: Do you struggle with that without anxiety because in so
Speaker 1: many ways you are so unbelievably confident. What is that
Speaker 1: that mix between anxiety nerves matched with an extreme amount
Speaker 1: of confidence. I don't know. I think when I was younger,
Speaker 1: probably my more natural state was to be more more confident.
Speaker 1: But I think when you are a woman and you're
Speaker 1: in the public eye all the time, you um, if
Speaker 1: you're not careful, you can become less confident because you're
Speaker 1: being constantly scrutinized, you know. And I'm sure I think
Speaker 1: it's natural. It's not a natural for a human being
Speaker 1: to just always feel like everyone's critiquing them. I am sure,
Speaker 1: And I'm sure social media heightened it. I mean, it's already.
Speaker 1: Anxiety is already the most common mental illness in the US,
Speaker 1: effects over forty million adults. I'm sure the constant critique
Speaker 1: from social media heightens it, but doesn't everybody happens, all right.
Speaker 1: I was talking about daughter about this the other day.
Speaker 1: Doesn't like everybody have anxiety when they have to do something.
Speaker 1: You have a little bit of anxiety, right. I think
Speaker 1: it's probably a difference between nerves and anxiety, yes, but
Speaker 1: I mean it is the most common mental illness in
Speaker 1: the United States. Anxiety disis all right now. Caitlin Jenner
Speaker 1: had a sit down interview with The Folks and podcast,
Speaker 1: and some of the things she talked about is trusting Kanye. Actually,
Speaker 1: I get along very well with Kanye. I really like Kanye.
Speaker 1: Every time we've been together, he's been absolutely great, especially
Speaker 1: during the transition and this and that, he was absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker 1: I'm still today when I say I'm we're good friends.
Speaker 1: I just have to be a little careful because, you know,
Speaker 1: he said some things, especially towards the family. Tell you
Speaker 1: that you know, obviously I'm on the family side, you know,
Speaker 1: and I wish him nothing but the best, and you know,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'd love to see him again. Now
Speaker 1: here's kately and Jenner also talking about her transition. I
Speaker 1: made the decision years earlier that if I were to
Speaker 1: do that, yeah I would. I would do it all
Speaker 1: the way or not at all. All the way means
Speaker 1: is a transition to the other part. And I'm just yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah. What does that surgery like? Like? How
Speaker 1: does I what is that surgery? Can't get too much
Speaker 1: and I don't want to go into until have to specifics.
Speaker 1: But as doctors say, it's easier to take it off
Speaker 1: than it is to put it on. What you heard
Speaker 1: him when a doctor's purged on, what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Putting it on the attack? A prosthetic, prosthetic You can
Speaker 1: get a prosthetic penisa. You can get the CYB, you
Speaker 1: can get the cyber slow gotta be fun. That gotta
Speaker 1: be a fun process. Customizing your penis like picking it

Speaker 1: You wouldn't get a regular one, Nope. Yeah, if you're gonna,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get to look natural, I want the
Speaker 1: bugattia penises. I'm closing work, right, the big boy to

Speaker 1: of your lifestyle. DJ Nvy Angela Ye Charlomagne, the god
Speaker 1: with the best. Yes, this is a miracle, there is
Speaker 1: no question. And there are problems in this country between
Speaker 1: police and community. Yes, you are a donkey to the
Speaker 1: latest on that police killing of a black man. Not
Speaker 1: a new developments in the deadly spas shooting ramps. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was a really bad day for him, and this
Speaker 1: is what he did, and so we are in a
Speaker 1: state of emergency. Okay. White supremacist violence is always has
Speaker 1: been the number one threat to our society. But I'm
Speaker 1: also very proud that my wife was white. The breakfast
Speaker 1: club bitches. Sorry, Ronny, please tell me why I was.
Speaker 1: I your donkey every day? Wow? Oh donkey today for
Speaker 1: Thursday April seven. To make sure that's today for this
Speaker 1: Thursday April seven. Yess it is goes to Ohio Senate
Speaker 1: candidate JD. Vance. Let me tell you something. I'm giving
Speaker 1: JD vans donkey today simply because I'm black, all right,
Speaker 1: and as a black man, I have to stand against racism. Okay,
Speaker 1: I also have to stand against xenophobia, all right. What
Speaker 1: did doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Say? And injustice anywhere
Speaker 1: as a threat to justice everywhere? Yes, I totally agree
Speaker 1: with that. That's how I feel morally. But marketing wise,
Speaker 1: I think what JD Vance did is incredible. Okay, it's bold,
Speaker 1: it's honest, and it's provocative. It gets to people going,
Speaker 1: all right, cheriously, When I google JD Vance's name, it
Speaker 1: had been searched over sixteen million times this morning. Right,
Speaker 1: this ad that he created has cause the conversation. Mostly
Speaker 1: that conversation is saying how it's racist and xenophobic, because
Speaker 1: it is. But do you think Jady Vans cares? Hell? No,
Speaker 1: because the more people who talk about his ad, the
Speaker 1: more people it reaches, and the people he is talking
Speaker 1: to in the ad love it. Okay. All he's trying
Speaker 1: to do is find more of his tribe. He's running
Speaker 1: to send it in Ohio. But when something becomes a
Speaker 1: national story, then that means more people in Ohio will
Speaker 1: see it. And if they can answer to two questions
Speaker 1: he asked in the beginning of the ad with a
Speaker 1: resounding yes, even if they feel like that a little bit,
Speaker 1: then guess what they found The human they want to
Speaker 1: vote for in jd Vance. Would you like to hear
Speaker 1: Jade Vance's campaign act so we can properly discuss We'll
Speaker 1: here you go. Are you a racist? Do you hate Mexicans?
Speaker 1: The media calls US racists for wanting to build Trump's wall.
Speaker 1: They censor us, but it doesn't change the truth. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's open border is killing Ohioans with more illegal drugs
Speaker 1: and more Democrat voters pouring into this country. This issue
Speaker 1: is personal. I nearly lost my mother to the poison
Speaker 1: coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan.
Speaker 1: I'm JD Vance and I approve this message because whatever
Speaker 1: they call us, we will put America first. Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Democrats muse came to talk directly to their most loyal
Speaker 1: voting block, which is black women and black men. They
Speaker 1: can't even pretend. Okay, they'd be afraid to talk directly
Speaker 1: to us and talk directly about our issues because they
Speaker 1: don't want to scale off those hypothetical, unwoke white swing voters. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the GOP on the state and national level is like,
Speaker 1: what's popping? Because you racist? Were racist too? What's happening? Okay?
Speaker 1: It is a part of me that respects this. I
Speaker 1: don't like pretenders, Okay. I want everyone to be who
Speaker 1: they are. I personally think the world will be a
Speaker 1: much better place if we all just put what we
Speaker 1: believe on the table. That way, it's no mixing of
Speaker 1: energies that don't need to be together. Okay. We waste
Speaker 1: so much time presenting ourselves as things we are not,
Speaker 1: and that's just not sustainable over time. Over time, the
Speaker 1: real you will reveal itself. Good are bad, okay, the
Speaker 1: best are the worst, to you will eventually reveal itself.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing about politicians, though. The reason this
Speaker 1: is dangerous is when you're a politicians, because politicians are
Speaker 1: supposed to be serving self all people. Okay, you gotta
Speaker 1: be objective. It shouldn't be about party, race, sexuality, gender,
Speaker 1: religious beliefs. She's supposed to be here to serve all
Speaker 1: of us. But we know that's not how this works.
Speaker 1: So why would someone like Jade Vance be so open
Speaker 1: and honest about how he feels? Because he knows in
Speaker 1: Ohio where his bread is buttered? Okay? And the bread
Speaker 1: in Ohio is white, all right, really white, highly processed
Speaker 1: flower and lots of add It is white, okay. JD
Speaker 1: is buttering the kind of white bread that can that
Speaker 1: contributes to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes when you eat
Speaker 1: too much of it. So he don't care about what
Speaker 1: anyone else is talking about. Okay. Eighty one point seven
Speaker 1: percent of people in Ohio are white. I don't know, okay,
Speaker 1: how many white people in Ohio are racist and hate
Speaker 1: Mexicans though, Okay, don't. I don't know. This isn't a
Speaker 1: generalization of all white people in Ohio. But I do
Speaker 1: know in the presidential elections of twenty sixteen and twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump won Ohio. Okay, and Jade vanch is just
Speaker 1: peeping game and he's saying to himself, oh, I know
Speaker 1: who and what I need to tap into to possibly
Speaker 1: get a victory here. Because JD. Vance back in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: ain't he a whit Trump? You don't believe me. Listen
Speaker 1: to the attack ads against him that are running in Ohio. JD.
Speaker 1: Vance in his own words, I'm a never Trump guy.
Speaker 1: I never liked him. There's somebody who doesn't like Trump.
Speaker 1: I might have to hold my nose and vote for
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. I didn't vote for Trump because I can't
Speaker 1: stomach Trump. I think that he's noxious, him being really
Speaker 1: outrageous instances on Twitter. Vance called Trump quote reprehensible, an idiot,
Speaker 1: and Vance loves Mitt Romney. I'm a never Trump guy.
Speaker 1: That's the real. JD. Vance. Club for Growth Action is
Speaker 1: responsible for the content of this ad. Okay, that's how
Speaker 1: you felt. But then Trump did what nobody thought he
Speaker 1: could do, and that's when the presidential election in twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen and anyone Ohio in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: And I guess that's when JD. Vance decided to go
Speaker 1: full great replacement theory and change his changed his mind.
Speaker 1: Listen to him talk about Trump. Now, why should Trump
Speaker 1: voters Trump supporters vote for you? Yeah. Look, I mean
Speaker 1: all of us say stupid things, and I happen to
Speaker 1: say stupid things very publicly. You know, I've been very
Speaker 1: public about the fact that I voted for the president
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, that I was wrong about the president
Speaker 1: back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, and that he's been
Speaker 1: the greatest president of my lifetime. You know I was.
Speaker 1: I was just north of thirty years old when I
Speaker 1: said a lot of those things. A lot's changed in
Speaker 1: my life. I re engaged with my faith. I got
Speaker 1: baptized three years ago. I've had three kids since then.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot's different. And one of the things
Speaker 1: that's different is that I did change my mind about
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. He was a great president. Yes, we all
Speaker 1: say stupid things. I say stupid things, but dangerous things
Speaker 1: that different, especially dangerous things that come with positions of power. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jady Vans knows. You don't have to be real in politics,
Speaker 1: just say what people want it here. Just because you
Speaker 1: believe something doesn't make it the truth though, So you
Speaker 1: can believe what Jady Vans is saying, but it's not
Speaker 1: really is true if he just wants your votes. Okay,
Speaker 1: you gotta understand. One of my favorite movies ever is
Speaker 1: Bullworth all right, starring Warren Baby, Holly Berry, Don Cheatle Okay,
Speaker 1: and Jay. Bullworth was a man who got tired of
Speaker 1: lying to the people, and since he had hired a
Speaker 1: hit man to kill him and thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: die anyway, he just started telling the truth and it worked.
Speaker 1: Only different was only difference was Bullwarth spoke, got against
Speaker 1: racism and had solutions for poverty, and he called out
Speaker 1: the dysfunction in the healthcare system, and he let folks
Speaker 1: know about the corporate control of the political agenda. He
Speaker 1: rebelled against all of that. Great movie. You should watch it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have been waiting for a liberal to speak truth
Speaker 1: to power in that way, but alas that hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: But Republicans they are they just don't care about the
Speaker 1: least of us. Okay, So it makes you ask the question,
Speaker 1: does it take more courage to be good or bad?
Speaker 1: Does it take more courage to be right or wrong?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just know one party, Republicans are
Speaker 1: just playing political courage, even if it's just to get votes,
Speaker 1: while the other Democrats. While the other Democrats are showing
Speaker 1: no courage at all. Kathy Griffin, could you do the honors?
Speaker 1: Please give this giant jaral male the biggest he haw
Speaker 1: Chelsea Handler. You want to get in on this, Jad
Speaker 1: Evans he haw he haw. That is way too much,
Speaker 1: Dan Manning. I wonder if from Chris Rock got anything
Speaker 1: to say? Crack, I ask, crackling, okay, okay, okay, you
Speaker 1: got my girl? What about my girl that stood up
Speaker 1: to the stood up to that dude in Florida. You

Speaker 1: but it's friends with benefit because I was going to
Speaker 1: save your dating. You're not just friends. Yeah, Well it's funny.
Speaker 1: I told her that I didn't want to date, just
Speaker 1: be friends, but he thinks we're dating because she's always
Speaker 1: planning things for us to do at like a couple
Speaker 1: and I and not tell her that I three other women,
Speaker 1: but she doesn't hear that. Okay, so you guys are
Speaker 1: sleeping together and she wants more, but you want to
Speaker 1: be single so you can date other people. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: why is it? Are you just not in a space
Speaker 1: in your life where you want to be committed or
Speaker 1: is it that she's not the one? She's not the one, Well,
Speaker 1: then you need to leave her alone. That's not fair
Speaker 1: to her. You're dragging it out. You can see that
Speaker 1: she wants more. You don't want more. You already know
Speaker 1: she's not the one. If you care about her as
Speaker 1: a person, you should leave her alone. Yeah. I told her,
Speaker 1: I told her how I feel. But I'll stay away
Speaker 1: for some time and thinks'll do she'll come back and
Speaker 1: he let her back in. I mean, that's kind of
Speaker 1: on you. You know what her intentions are, you know
Speaker 1: what she wants. You know you're not going to do that.
Speaker 1: So if you're making a decision to continue to see
Speaker 1: her knowing that she has higher expectations, and every time
Speaker 1: you still continue to sleep with her and take her
Speaker 1: out and do these things, you're actually leading her on,
Speaker 1: and then you're saying, well, she doesn't understand because you're
Speaker 1: giving her a mixed message. Yeah, feeling that I just
Speaker 1: got very way all right, Okay, there you go leave
Speaker 1: her alone. If you care about a person at all
Speaker 1: and you know that's not the one, stop sleeping with her.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to remake friends, but I
Speaker 1: know people you're not going to be mine. That's fine,
Speaker 1: And look, sometimes I believe that if one person likes
Speaker 1: the person more than the other, you can't really be friends. Now.
Speaker 1: Maybe further on down the line, in a few months,
Speaker 1: when she's moved on, y'all can be okay, But as
Speaker 1: for now, her feelings are involved, and so as a
Speaker 1: friend and somebody you want to be friends with, you
Speaker 1: got to just make sure you cut cut that off.
Speaker 1: It's painful and said, ripping a band aid off at first,
Speaker 1: but in the long run, it's for the best. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very like I care. I care about her at first,
Speaker 1: but I know it's going to hurt her. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: hurting her more though, because at some point she'll be hurt.
Speaker 1: So you might as well get it over with. If
Speaker 1: you keep on doing this and keep on giving her
Speaker 1: false hope. That's the worst than just saying it's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I think that we should take a break
Speaker 1: from even speaking to each other. I respect you, I
Speaker 1: want us to be friends, but I also want to
Speaker 1: make sure I'm doing the right thing about you so
Speaker 1: you can actually get somebody in your life who wants
Speaker 1: the same things that you want with you because you
Speaker 1: deserve it. Okay, thank you, Yeah, welcome, Brian, good luck,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian. Ask ye ain't don't dread five eight
Speaker 1: five one on five one. If you need any type
Speaker 1: of advice, you can call her now. It's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm gonna keep a real you get some
Speaker 1: real advice with angela Ye gets ask Ye Morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the breakfast club in the middle of ask ye Hello.
Speaker 1: Who's this my name? Hey? What's your question for? Easy? Okay,
Speaker 1: So my question is if your boyfriend and your girlfriend
Speaker 1: are having inappropriate conversation on social media, should you Should
Speaker 1: you go to your girlfriend first and let her notice
Speaker 1: you don't like that, or do you go to your
Speaker 1: voice friends? So when you say sorry, when you say girlfriend,
Speaker 1: you mean just like your friend or you mean girlfriend
Speaker 1: like you're dating both of them my friends. Okay, she's
Speaker 1: both of your friends. Okay, but okay, she's both of
Speaker 1: your friends. So who does she know first? And so
Speaker 1: it's around the same time we all met, like elementary. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's inappropriately? Okay? So well, exactly if they're also still
Speaker 1: talking about how you know that you who've got like
Speaker 1: they have power and stuff and that's why men won't
Speaker 1: leave her alone, and then they're having like sexual conversation.
Speaker 1: Oh hell no, I'm having sex just like her and
Speaker 1: other men having sex and why I want those men
Speaker 1: leave her alone? And my boyfriend and Kern said, well
Speaker 1: maybe yo, you who's got from power? Yeah, no, that's
Speaker 1: awkward and that's uncomfortable, and you definitely need to talk
Speaker 1: to both of them. The first person I would talk
Speaker 1: to who are you closer to your boyfriend? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, so I did it, and I went to
Speaker 1: my boyfriend first. He's now my husband. Okay, he admitted
Speaker 1: it was wrong, but I went to him first and
Speaker 1: told him I didn't like that it was inappropriate, and
Speaker 1: then after continued, I then went for her and was
Speaker 1: like you know, hey, don't entertain my boyfriend while y'are
Speaker 1: doing this because it's inappropriate. But you think it seem
Speaker 1: like I'm a bad friend because I shouldn't have never
Speaker 1: went for her. I should pick it up with my boyfriend. No,
Speaker 1: I think you did the right thing. That's what I
Speaker 1: would have did. First. I would have went to my
Speaker 1: man and said these conversations are inappropriate. I'm not comfortable
Speaker 1: with it, and then I would have went to her.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like she likes him? She says that
Speaker 1: she doesn't. I just I just feel like it's just
Speaker 1: inappropriate regardless of whatever. You're my friend, and you know
Speaker 1: what triggers me, so you know, if I got insecurity
Speaker 1: issues or whatever, then don't cross that line. And then
Speaker 1: as my south, you know me as well? Like right, no,
Speaker 1: not just doing this long fast on social media? Did
Speaker 1: they stop? Well? Yeah, we ended up having to block
Speaker 1: her and everything. It turns really bad to where we
Speaker 1: were about to fight and I shoot out. So okay,
Speaker 1: I just want to say that ain't your real friend.
Speaker 1: You should be able to go to your friend and
Speaker 1: tell them anything, even if it's an uncomfortable conversation. And
Speaker 1: so for her to tell you that you need to
Speaker 1: just go to him and take it up with him alone. No,
Speaker 1: you are the person that is instigating all of these things,
Speaker 1: and as my friend, I should be able to have
Speaker 1: those conversations with you. You You shouldn't even have done it
Speaker 1: in the first place. But at least I'm coming to
Speaker 1: you and telling you how I feel. Now. If you
Speaker 1: still continue to act like you're not doing anything wrong
Speaker 1: and you're not respecting my feelings, you're not really my friend.
Speaker 1: And the fact that you had to block her, that
Speaker 1: might mean that that's a sign that's not somebody's supposed
Speaker 1: to be in your life, right, So I would question
Speaker 1: if I needed to apologize and try to rekindle our friendship.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of why I wanted to ask, like,
Speaker 1: was I in the wrong anywhere here? You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you outgrow people. Sometimes she might be jealous of your
Speaker 1: relationship with him, That's what somebody else told me, But
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm not even saying that that
Speaker 1: means she wants him, But she might be jealous of
Speaker 1: the fact that the two of you together. Maybe she
Speaker 1: feels left out, she wants to cause problems. But anybody
Speaker 1: I feel like that makes your life more difficult, and
Speaker 1: when you confront them about it, they're not receptive to
Speaker 1: what you have to say. That's not somebody you need
Speaker 1: in your life. Okay, yes, yes, ma'am. Okay, Now I
Speaker 1: didn't marry my boyfriend, so he owned up to it
Speaker 1: and admitted that he was wrong about it, and since
Speaker 1: then we haven't had any issues like that. So was
Speaker 1: that kind of like a good choice as well? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You happy? Yeah, I'm happy. I mean, we got a
Speaker 1: child together and everything now, and I'm happy. Happiness is
Speaker 1: a great choice. Okay, Oh, thank you. I love y'all.
Speaker 1: I listen to y'all every day while I'm throwing these
Speaker 1: newspapers at the two houses. I love Ali, y'all, Angela,
Speaker 1: yee Envy, Charlemagne. Thank you. I'm happy, you're happy? All right,
Speaker 1: Thank you, y'all be blessed. All right, Well, thank you
Speaker 1: you for that advice eight on drink five eight five
Speaker 1: one on five one that we got rules all the way, Yes,
Speaker 1: and tell about Real Housewives of New York as you know,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be two different versions. And listen to what
Speaker 1: Ebony K. Williams had to say about why she thinks
Speaker 1: that happened. All right, We'll get to that next. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club the morning. This is the Rumor Report
Speaker 1: with Ebony K. Williams from the Real Housewives of New
Speaker 1: York was on Reality with the King stitcher podcast that's
Speaker 1: hosted by Carlos King, and she talked about how Real
Speaker 1: Housewives New York is coming out with two different shows
Speaker 1: and why she believes that Bravo is launching two versions
Speaker 1: of Real Housewives of New York. Here's what she said. So,
Speaker 1: I was right here in this Airbnb and I was working,
Speaker 1: and I got it. I did get an advanced call
Speaker 1: from production to let me know of the details. Wasn't
Speaker 1: It wasn't hours before it was enough for me to
Speaker 1: not be shocked. When when When when the general populace
Speaker 1: found out out? I was informed, and I was in
Speaker 1: my feelings for about two seconds only because you know,
Speaker 1: I feel very strongly that I did everything in my power,
Speaker 1: everything I knew, to do everything I could do to
Speaker 1: show up um full throttle as my inaugural season as
Speaker 1: a housewife. So one are the two shows. So there's
Speaker 1: one that's like a throwback show. Basically it's a Real
Speaker 1: house New York throwback or reboot or a legacy or
Speaker 1: whatever it is that they're calling it. And then, um,
Speaker 1: they're keeping their casting pretty low, so I mean they're
Speaker 1: keeping the information on what they're casting is going to
Speaker 1: be pretty trying to figure it out. Yeah, they didn't
Speaker 1: watch Out, but I don't watch Trash. I don't watch
Speaker 1: either one of them. But um, I mean I did
Speaker 1: a couple episodes just for Ebony. But it should be
Speaker 1: two shows and the other shows should be super diverse.
Speaker 1: It should be one that really reflects the melting part
Speaker 1: that New York City is, don't you think, Well, she
Speaker 1: doesn't agree on like they wanted that that was the
Speaker 1: main thing, right. She was the first ever black person
Speaker 1: on Real Housewives of New York. New York is such
Speaker 1: a diverse place, but apparently their bubble is not that
Speaker 1: diverse now. They made everything about race. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: normal show where you see women going out and doing
Speaker 1: what they do. Every show was something about race. That
Speaker 1: might be the editing because I'm sure they film was trash.
Speaker 1: It was trash. It was the last season was trash. Now,
Speaker 1: Ebbony kay Williams Els said only Sonia Morgan was willing
Speaker 1: to come to the table and negotiate a future that
Speaker 1: involved me as a part of this ensemble. So here's
Speaker 1: what else she had to say about the season not
Speaker 1: being fun. I feel very strongly that several of the
Speaker 1: aspects of the traditional housewife experience, which you know all
Speaker 1: too well because you helped your rapis, were absent from
Speaker 1: my season. We're in a lockdown. It's New York, so
Speaker 1: it's not the same as a lockdown and other parts
Speaker 1: of the country. It was no dice, there was no
Speaker 1: international trip, there was no glamor, there was no glitz.
Speaker 1: So it just was lacking of the fun that house
Speaker 1: Wives is known for. Him So is everything gonna be
Speaker 1: on season the next season? Now looking like it, she said,
Speaker 1: only one member was willing to come to the Oh.
Speaker 1: I thought she was saying, there's two different shows and
Speaker 1: she's gonna be one of them. She's not even gonna
Speaker 1: be on the next season. She said her co stars
Speaker 1: were unwilling to negotiate to keep her on the series.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to even meet her halfway in that negotiation.
Speaker 1: It didn't fit. They didn't fit that that whole show
Speaker 1: you could just tell it was just thrown together. Though
Speaker 1: a lot of times at least the women know each other,
Speaker 1: but in New York it just was just it was
Speaker 1: just an odd thing. Now, she also feels that she
Speaker 1: was black balled. I'm gonna be real, were you black
Speaker 1: balled by lou Anne Ramona Leah in terms of not
Speaker 1: being able to come to the table they were unwilling
Speaker 1: to Yes, if you want to call it black balled,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna you know, dispete the semantics of that, Carlos,
Speaker 1: what I am telling you plainly, only Sonya Morgan was
Speaker 1: willing to come to the table and negotiate a future
Speaker 1: that involved me as a part of this ensemble period.
Speaker 1: Dot Ilia was her friend on there. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think those were black balls. Those were white labies that
Speaker 1: were blocking up Evan and Kay Williams from being on
Speaker 1: because she came on as as Leah's friend. She wasn't
Speaker 1: really his friend. They just said the friend, but they
Speaker 1: didn't seem like they really knew each other. I don't
Speaker 1: watch the show. I only watched it for every a
Speaker 1: couple of times. Okay to Delia too, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But I'm ribing whatevery, I'm ran with every
Speaker 1: whatever she wants to do. I'm with it all right now.
Speaker 1: Lee Daniels is saying that he was confused by what
Speaker 1: happened with Jesse Small. Laddy did an interview with T. S. Madison,
Speaker 1: as you know, and here's what he had to say.
Speaker 1: Are you mad at him? I was? I was? I
Speaker 1: was confused? So what happened? I don't you tell me?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know either. I mean when
Speaker 1: I tell you, I says it didn't happen. And so
Speaker 1: I have to believe him that he believes that it
Speaker 1: didn't happen, because that's the boy that I cast and
Speaker 1: that's the boy that I love. And he was you,
Speaker 1: he was you listen, he it's too fail. Did you
Speaker 1: cry like a bit? What is Lee Daniel so funny?
Speaker 1: To me? He? Man? Man, did you cry like a bitch?
Speaker 1: I watched that like five times just today for no.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, And I listen. I understand where
Speaker 1: he's coming from. That's his guy here, riding with this guy,
Speaker 1: right or wrong. And guess what he believes him, he
Speaker 1: believe even if he didn't believe me, still riding with him.
Speaker 1: But you know, all right, and um push your te
Speaker 1: posted it's album title It's Almost Dry Phase one of
Speaker 1: the tour coming to a city near you. Tickets go
Speaker 1: on sale Friday, So tomorrow tickets will go on sale
Speaker 1: for the It's Almost Dry Tour Phase one with special guests. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you can get a King Push dot Com slash
Speaker 1: tour to get those tickets. It's almost dry. When is
Speaker 1: the album dropping though? Is there released? You know the
Speaker 1: single that that wasn't a single, but they put out
Speaker 1: a record just that they would holpe right, When is
Speaker 1: the album coming out? It doesn't say. It does, however,
Speaker 1: say when the tour is starting. So I guess you
Speaker 1: figure it's gonna be maybe around the same time. This
Speaker 1: tour starts May twenty ninth in Seattle. Okay, Well, if
Speaker 1: you like the neck and Rish yesterday, that's about it's
Speaker 1: about the seventh for eighth best song on the album,
Speaker 1: maybe you and Coil Array can go together so you
Speaker 1: can help expose her to some push your teeth. Maybe
Speaker 1: she might have a feature with push your Button. All right, maybe,

Speaker 1: a great day in the city of Atlantic City. That
Speaker 1: is the first time that you're not gonna induce both
Speaker 1: of our guests. I'm about to you gonna say this
Speaker 1: is the first time that he actually met Angela. I
Speaker 1: was starting to think that Angela Yee had something against me,
Speaker 1: you know, all of my Breakfast club appearances. She has
Speaker 1: been that way with Angela. Okay, perfect a pleasure to
Speaker 1: meet you. Nice to meet you too. Now, also you
Speaker 1: have Cash with you for people that don't know what's
Speaker 1: his position. Well, Cash was my former aide who's now
Speaker 1: is my Constituent Service Director and charge of special projects,
Speaker 1: marijuana being one of them. Um. You know, young guy
Speaker 1: who I'm extremely proud of, has grown so much and
Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to do when I came in
Speaker 1: the Mayor's office. I wanted to give younger people an
Speaker 1: opportunity who normally wouldn't get that opportunity. So he's making
Speaker 1: us all prout cast something. We call it cannabis. Cannabis
Speaker 1: definitely New York. Yes, yes, so that what's going on
Speaker 1: with Atlantic City? Now? You've been in office for us
Speaker 1: for some time now, so what have you been doing.
Speaker 1: What have the people of Atlantic City been seeing? Well? Well, listen,
Speaker 1: first of all, um, you know, we stabilized the government.
Speaker 1: As you know, when I first came on here, I
Speaker 1: was just getting in, um, you know, taking over for
Speaker 1: the former mayor covid Hit. We served the community well
Speaker 1: and now things are stable and as you know, I
Speaker 1: had seven elections in two years that'sn't heard of, and
Speaker 1: and now the government stable, we're moving forward with our agenda.
Speaker 1: Also little history in the family. My wife, January First,
Speaker 1: became the first African American female superintendent in the history
Speaker 1: of Atlantic City and crazy the first superintendent to actually
Speaker 1: live in Atlantic City. So you know, we're extremely proud
Speaker 1: about that. And you know we're just plugging away where
Speaker 1: you know, offering more services, spending less money. My thing
Speaker 1: is fiscal responsibility. For the third straight year, the good
Speaker 1: people of Atlantic City is going to get a tax decrease.
Speaker 1: We have a situation where I wanted to invest in
Speaker 1: human capital. We got money from the American Rescue Plan.
Speaker 1: We got thirty three million, We got the first sixteen
Speaker 1: and a half million, and we wanted to spend it
Speaker 1: on lost revenue, which we fixed a couple of bridges
Speaker 1: in town. But also we wanted to give back to
Speaker 1: our employees. We gave every city employee up to thirty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars as as as COVID pay, and we
Speaker 1: did something that no other mayor has ever done. It
Speaker 1: as to give back to the taxpayers and businesses. Currently,
Speaker 1: now those taxpairs and businesses are getting five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, you know, considering that has never been done.
Speaker 1: And one of the things I said when I got
Speaker 1: in we wanted to rebuild City Hall from the inside out.
Speaker 1: And we're changing the culture in city Hall and government
Speaker 1: and throughout the city. And they're coming up on contract negotiations,
Speaker 1: which we're wrapping up next week. And I'm just going
Speaker 1: to say this that our employees have never seen a
Speaker 1: contract like we're about to give up, like we're about
Speaker 1: to give out. And I'm extremely proud of that. As mayor.
Speaker 1: What do you mean what kind of contract? Their union contracts.
Speaker 1: It expired at the end of December, and everyone except
Speaker 1: for our fire department is up to share. They're up
Speaker 1: next year. And you can't say that you believe in employees,
Speaker 1: you believe in up with mobility, you believe in right
Speaker 1: size and the salaries and government and when you get
Speaker 1: a chance to do so, you don't act. So, you know,
Speaker 1: we're extremely excited about that, and you know things are
Speaker 1: looking up in the city. Being a kid and going
Speaker 1: down to Atlantic City, wasn't that many black things to do?
Speaker 1: The many urban events? Is that changing? Well? As I
Speaker 1: said on the station when I first came on a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago that I was going to change
Speaker 1: the coachure in a way that we do things in
Speaker 1: Atlantic City. And now, because of my relationships with promoters
Speaker 1: across the country, my relationship with you, a lot of
Speaker 1: people are considering Atlantic City that normally wouldn't consider doing
Speaker 1: any type of business in Atlantic City. We had some
Speaker 1: exciting things that's happening for the first time. We have
Speaker 1: in June. I can't give the day or the location,
Speaker 1: but Danye and Blanc is coming to Atlantic City. We
Speaker 1: have Kevin Hart performing, We have Wilding Out you know,
Speaker 1: we're working of course, we have dj MV Drive Your
Speaker 1: Dreams car shows. We have twelve thousand or twelve thousand
Speaker 1: people out there last yes, just to just to put
Speaker 1: that in no incidents, no problems, no situations, family fun day.
Speaker 1: This year. We haven't released the day ja, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be another big one. What else I'm sorry, Yes,
Speaker 1: and I'm working with Live Nation. Be on the lookout
Speaker 1: for this. We're working very hard for the first ever
Speaker 1: and it's going to be an annual the Atlantic City
Speaker 1: Urban Entertainment Festival. This is going to focus on women empowerment,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a two day concert series um
Speaker 1: at bull Walk Hall, and you know there's going to
Speaker 1: be all type of parties and different promoters doing different things.
Speaker 1: We're working on something for Beta Field on me More
Speaker 1: You Day weekend. We're also working on a unique bike festival. UM.
Speaker 1: You know, shout out to my guy Lenny the barber,
Speaker 1: who's done a lot of things out here. We're trying
Speaker 1: to put that play together. But um, we bike well,
Speaker 1: you know, Lenny's a master promoter. Soleny, Lenny gets into anything.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a little woman. Yeah. But but the
Speaker 1: thing is, um, you know, we have options and you
Speaker 1: know what they're saying, you ever have options and not
Speaker 1: need them, to need options and not have them. So
Speaker 1: we're definitely changing the culture there and we know that. Um,
Speaker 1: that's a priority for us in the city. So we're
Speaker 1: going to stay true to our Summertime slogan that we live,
Speaker 1: we live we outside the cash. Now, for people that
Speaker 1: want to get into cannabis industry in New Jersey, what
Speaker 1: are the ways they can get into the industry right now?
Speaker 1: The license process is open for the state of New Jersey.
Speaker 1: The Summer Fifth Teams started cultivation, that's where you grow
Speaker 1: the flower. March fifteenth, the application process opened up for retail,
Speaker 1: so Atlantic City is going to be the East Coast
Speaker 1: hub for cannabis, specifically targeting retail. So what you gotta
Speaker 1: do right now is it's not easy. You know, out
Speaker 1: of one hundred percent of cannabis businesses in the country,
Speaker 1: less than three percent a minority own, so it's not
Speaker 1: an easy task. I would say, do your due diligence,
Speaker 1: stay on NJGUV Backslash Cannabis to get all the information
Speaker 1: that you need, get you a right attorney, or get
Speaker 1: you a right application right That's really what the name
Speaker 1: of the game right now is application right in Because
Speaker 1: it's on a point system. You want to make sure
Speaker 1: you have every point to qualify. But Atlantic City is
Speaker 1: open for business. Call up to city Hall, you know,
Speaker 1: hit me on the Instagram, uh, send me an email.
Speaker 1: We are doing everything in our power to continue to
Speaker 1: get the support from people all over. We have every
Speaker 1: top company calling in, every celebrity calling in. They want
Speaker 1: to do business in Atlantic City and we wide open.
Speaker 1: Were accepting all six license types. So you know the
Speaker 1: type they say are people that's um affected by marijuana,
Speaker 1: and we right right, there's six classes of license. Two types,
Speaker 1: so it's micro that's where it's less than twenty five
Speaker 1: square feet and less than ten employees. And this is
Speaker 1: specifically for somebody who lives in that city or one
Speaker 1: of the surrounded cities. The other one just a regular
Speaker 1: class tier license where you know, it could be my
Speaker 1: minority minority owned, or it could be all called Caucasian owned,
Speaker 1: it could be anything. And that's just where it's not
Speaker 1: specifically on social equity. So the first type of license
Speaker 1: is cultivation, that's growing the flower. Second one is manufacturing
Speaker 1: that's turning the flower into a product. Then it's distribution
Speaker 1: and whole sell and that's where you store the product
