Speaker 1: people the heir words. It's not a big deal. Black
Speaker 1: people could call white people crocker, ass crocker, it's not
Speaker 1: a big deal. But when somebody speak their opinion about
Speaker 1: the lgd T community, it's a big upro And that's
Speaker 1: just somethingbody speaking their opinion about that. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to see what's the big uprow If everybody held their opinion,
Speaker 1: let him speak their opinion. If that's what they want
Speaker 1: to do, let them do that. They should embrace that's
Speaker 1: what they are, and it's cool. It shouldn't be a
Speaker 1: big dramatic art rock And I just want to hear
Speaker 1: your opinion about that from both of y'all. Well, what
Speaker 1: white people say the N word, It is an uproar, definitely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is an uproar. Not really, it is definitely have
Speaker 1: gotten side and that LG it's not the WRO like
Speaker 1: the LTP community. What the hell is the LTB that
Speaker 1: that that cable package you just talked about, it is
Speaker 1: way worse than the basic one. Now, the basic one,
Speaker 1: it's LGBT. I don't know what why you just go, oh, well, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know the alphabets, man, But I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear y'all opinion about that. I want to like
Speaker 1: when boost is saying this car man, it was a
Speaker 1: big off law when whoever saying it thing What really
Speaker 1: got me when Wendy Williams had apologize for what she said.
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, man, you can't have an opinion
Speaker 1: about that. Well, listen, here's the truth to the matter.
Speaker 1: You got to know who you're FFing with. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You slap somebody in the face, they
Speaker 1: might slap you back and slap somebody else in the face.
Speaker 1: They might punch you and knock you out. You slap
Speaker 1: somebody else in the face, they might pull out a
Speaker 1: gun to shoot you. You gotta know what you're dealing
Speaker 1: with that and be ready to deal with them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just don't get the man. Everybody should have their
Speaker 1: own opinion. It shouldn't be a big a big deal
Speaker 1: about it. If that's what they choose to do, that
Speaker 1: that's on them. Let them in porson and move on.
Speaker 1: So listen, why are you calling? Why is this the
Speaker 1: first thing on your mind in the morning. Though, No,
Speaker 1: it's no, I just can't know. Yes it is, Yes
Speaker 1: it is, Yes it is a good one. But why
Speaker 1: does it matter how other people live their lives anyway?
Speaker 1: If it doesn't affect you, if you're not part of
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ plus community, and like, why does it bother you? Hello?
Speaker 1: Who's this? What's up? Bro? Get it off your chests? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What I had to get out of my chest? Man.
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people like seeing back
Speaker 1: waiting for the government to do things instead of realize
Speaker 1: what we can do ourselves. Like I ain't had nothing
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago for bout the pandemic doing
Speaker 1: it and then it won't really an issue with me.
Speaker 1: You know. I started driving trust for a company, bought
Speaker 1: the trust off of Facebook up owner operator. I'm here
Speaker 1: fourteen dollars in a week. It's so much stuff people
Speaker 1: can do out here, you know better theyself because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to break a generation or curse. Well, families are
Speaker 1: growing up in apartments in our own and homes because
Speaker 1: it's phone broke up. But I agree with him, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I mean, we definitely should push
Speaker 1: our government and push our you know, national and local
Speaker 1: government to do things for us, but we definitely got
Speaker 1: to do for ourselves too. Word to the honorable or
Speaker 1: Loijah Muhammad, what he said. What he said is also right.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people want to be rappers,
Speaker 1: they want to be uh DJs, they want to be producers,
Speaker 1: they want to be athletes, they want to get only fans.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of other businesses that people can do,
Speaker 1: and driving trucks is a major business. They make a
Speaker 1: lot of money, so really really look into it, because
Speaker 1: you think about it, one thing that didn't stop on
Speaker 1: that road was those trucks, whether they were delivering food,
Speaker 1: whether they were delivering toilet paper and paper towels. Those
Speaker 1: roads stay full with those trucks. So people still had
Speaker 1: those jobs with them truck. Yeah, And that's why I
Speaker 1: always tell brothers, man, you go out there and learn
Speaker 1: a trade, you know what I mean, Because there's certain
Speaker 1: things that just never ever ever gonna stop. You're gonna
Speaker 1: always need an electrician, You're gonna always need a plumber,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And those people, those brothers
Speaker 1: make good money. Since this make good money. Absolutely, Hello,

Speaker 1: we were driving, wanted them, played track music, then played
Speaker 1: fall Out Boys. I'm played. I had to arrange the music.
Speaker 1: Lady Guy Guy, And as soon as Beyonce Brown Skinned
Speaker 1: Girl came one the lady in the back, I heard
Speaker 1: the whispering among themselves, like Who's gonna say it? Finally
Speaker 1: somebody was braving up to come up and say it.
Speaker 1: It was excuse me, could you turn that song off
Speaker 1: it's offending me. And I was like, what that song
Speaker 1: offending you? And she said, well, it's all about like
Speaker 1: black girls. I'm not black. I don't relate to that.
Speaker 1: I was like, so something that bratty might again is
Speaker 1: offending you. So what did I do? I thought of
Speaker 1: the whole playlist off that dog. She got all the
Speaker 1: black power music for all twenty music. No, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: everybody stepped back from this situation, didn't look at it objectively.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you're an uber driver. Correct, And when you're
Speaker 1: an uber driver, you're playing music because you want people
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable. Correct, they don't feel comfortable about the song,
Speaker 1: you don't gotta get offended. Bite she can't relate. She's
Speaker 1: a man's flavoring mammal. Yeah, but it's not that type
Speaker 1: of song. It's it's not like saying, you know, f
Speaker 1: white people. That's not that's just upset that she don't
Speaker 1: have that tan. That's all. Well, she goes, I'm just
Speaker 1: mad that all this trap music played. We don't hurt
Speaker 1: drug deal of music. We don't her wip, we don't

Speaker 1: same rating I usually give everybody else. Because she didn't
Speaker 1: rat me no less because she gets but after she
Speaker 1: said it, because mine, if you heard the music that
Speaker 1: I was playing around, I was playing corns, fall out boy,
Speaker 1: I was playing all this other stuff in rotation. If
Speaker 1: anybody know what that music is, even know that it
Speaker 1: was diverse and get off. And I think you missed
Speaker 1: a good opportunity to teach to though, because you could

Speaker 1: to to to melan it all right, well, hello, who's this? Hey?
Speaker 1: How's it going for? Then? Though? Good morning? Yes, sir,

Speaker 1: we do a top five Donkeys of the year. I
Speaker 1: don't I'm gonna be honest with you, top donkeys of
Speaker 1: all time. Donald Trump is definitely in the top three.
Speaker 1: I mean I've given it to him more than anybody.
Speaker 1: And um, I'm gonna always put myself in the top
Speaker 1: three because I always say, you know, when you give
Speaker 1: people the credit, you gotta give everybody to credit they
Speaker 1: deserve for being stupid, including yourself. I don't know who
Speaker 1: the third one would be. There sounds first y'all want
Speaker 1: to clue Braun from the Breakfast Club. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: go on, get it off your chest eight hundred five
Speaker 1: eight five one on five one. If you need to vent,
Speaker 1: hit us up. Now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club winning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now. You
Speaker 1: have some special guests joining us this morning, and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to tell your names up. Don't even try
Speaker 1: let them introduce themselves, please please. My name is Malati
Speaker 1: Bhana Mescoll from Denver, Colorado, UM and originally from t
Speaker 1: Gray in Ethiopia. What's up? Everyone. My name's on dam
Speaker 1: get Vic Jorgets from money Earning Mount Vernon, New York.
Speaker 1: My family comes from Erica. And you know I got
Speaker 1: I got a call from my man Alex down in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: AG and you know, he was really concerned about this
Speaker 1: civil war that's happening in his homeland of v Fiopius.
Speaker 1: So can you can you tell us more about that? Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: What's happening in a nutshell is we are in on
Speaker 1: day two hundred and two of a genocide into Gray,
Speaker 1: the northernmost region of Ethiopia. There is the humanitarian crisis.
Speaker 1: There is something that everyone should be worried about. I mean,
Speaker 1: the women are being gang raped by soldiers. There is
Speaker 1: more than five million people are at risk for starvation.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a crisis on a level that is
Speaker 1: not getting the attention that it should be. Why do
Speaker 1: you think it's nuggeting attention? Is it should because this
Speaker 1: is you know earlier today was really the first time
Speaker 1: I dove into it other than here in the weekend
Speaker 1: in people donating so much money, Yeah, for sure. I
Speaker 1: mean I think when it comes to issues on the
Speaker 1: African content, a lot of times it really gets pushed
Speaker 1: to the side when I see what's been happening honestly
Speaker 1: over the last couple of decades, just in Africa in general,
Speaker 1: if it doesn't conform to what we think here in
Speaker 1: the West in terms of like typical conflicts like black
Speaker 1: versus white, so apartheid South Africa. If you're thinking in Libya,
Speaker 1: maybe you had heard of that there was like slave
Speaker 1: camps happening. We can understand that and connected that when
Speaker 1: we're thinking about the history of slavery within the African gasper.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times when it comes to um
Speaker 1: conflicts where you know you're looking at it and it's
Speaker 1: black people and black people, again, there are different ethnic
Speaker 1: groups that are involved. And again i'm Eric Trein Alex
Speaker 1: actually Erictran as well. His wife is from from tigray Um.
Speaker 1: There are different forces involved at play here. It can
Speaker 1: be complicated. But also the Western media just doesn't really
Speaker 1: pay attention when and give it the attention that it
Speaker 1: deserves when it's a serious situation. Well, and don't forget,
Speaker 1: there was a complete communication blackout. So what this Prime
Speaker 1: Minister of Ethiopia is doing, he's doing it in the dark,
Speaker 1: so people don't know. Wow, so the information is just
Speaker 1: now getting out. So y'all, have y'all even gotten in
Speaker 1: touch with your families briefly? There's some parts of the
Speaker 1: city where they turn the phones on for a short
Speaker 1: amount of time and then they're off again. But the
Speaker 1: majority of my family's from the countryside. So the people
Speaker 1: in the city, I mean, I personally have lost five
Speaker 1: family members in seven months. Wow, right, I mean it's horrific.
Speaker 1: And I you know, on the Aeratran context, we have
Speaker 1: a country that is really just a really repressive government,
Speaker 1: a government where when we're speaking on those phone calls,
Speaker 1: through viber connections, whatever it is, you know, people can't
Speaker 1: even tell their honest feelings about what's going on because
Speaker 1: they're fearful that there's going to be repression or reprisals
Speaker 1: against them. And obviously, again the context is different on
Speaker 1: the Airy transide from what's going on in to grab
Speaker 1: because aera trans they are conscripted soldiers being forced into
Speaker 1: to Gri and there have been a lot of abuses.
Speaker 1: But again you can't even really get full information through
Speaker 1: some of those channels because again people can't speak openly.
Speaker 1: So breakdown, why why is it so much turmoil? And
Speaker 1: so much fighting and so much war and everything that
Speaker 1: you just say why, Well, the simple answer is it's
Speaker 1: a power grab. It's a power grab. So Ethiopia has
Speaker 1: a decentralized form of government right now, and the current
Speaker 1: prime minister, who was never elected by the way he
Speaker 1: was appointed, was supposed to have an election and he's
Speaker 1: canceled at four times now. So at this point we
Speaker 1: don't even know when the election it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Who's overseeing him. There's nobody overseeing him to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. That's a great question. There's nobody
Speaker 1: overseeing him, nobody. He's changed the whole system of politics
Speaker 1: in Ethiopia, where instead of having these independent bodies that
Speaker 1: come together, ethnic groups that come together to decide on things,
Speaker 1: he's changed that. So it's more of a unitarian system.
Speaker 1: There's one political party now. So it's um, you're right,
Speaker 1: I mean, who here you would impeach your president? Right?
Speaker 1: We don't have that option. What would what would it
Speaker 1: take to get peace? That's too broad a question. I
Speaker 1: don't think there will ever be peace with the Sciosopha
Speaker 1: workI in Eritrea and aviahmad in Ethiopia. I think at
Speaker 1: this point those people have to go. There's no way
Speaker 1: to have peace with them in power. Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean Martin Luther King has a quote, it's pieces not
Speaker 1: the apence of Ford's the presence of justice. So not
Speaker 1: only do we have war that's going on now, but
Speaker 1: for decades in aery Trea there hasn't been justice. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the most painful thing. What Airtrian soldiers are doing
Speaker 1: to grind women. This war is being played out on
Speaker 1: the bodies of women and girls period, and they're doing
Speaker 1: things like putting hot rods up a woman's vagina to
Speaker 1: burn her internal reproductive organs. And it's not one story.
Speaker 1: We're hearing this story from many women, and that's just
Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg. Because we still don't have
Speaker 1: access to the people. Why why emphasis on sexual violence,
Speaker 1: Like what is that to them? That's a good question,
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I don't know. I think, you know, well,
Speaker 1: first of all, there are two things. I think. The
Speaker 1: first thing is that again, many of the forces that
Speaker 1: are sort of operating in that region are operating lawlessly,
Speaker 1: you know, like there is no one sort of overseeing
Speaker 1: what's happening. There aren't the sort of journalists, the journalists
Speaker 1: or the media availability to able to communicate what's happening
Speaker 1: in a rapid fashion. And then at the same time,
Speaker 1: like you know, there are issues in terms of like identity,
Speaker 1: like when you're thinking about the sexual violence, like this
Speaker 1: is deeper than just you know, like murder or something
Speaker 1: like that. Like you're you're trying to make You're trying
Speaker 1: to strike fear into the hearts of an entire group
Speaker 1: of people. And that has been what's really really disturbing
Speaker 1: about this this conflict. And one thing is clear is
Speaker 1: this sexual violence. It's not undisciplined soldiers. This is a
Speaker 1: directive to go in and attack the women, make sure
Speaker 1: they can't reproduce. I mean, it's it's a directive from
Speaker 1: the top, and that's what makes it scary. All Right,
Speaker 1: we got more when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: were still kicking it within endom Charlomagne as far as
Speaker 1: you know as the Biden administration tried to get involved. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean recently over the last couple of days. There
Speaker 1: have been more statements coming out. They just yesterday there
Speaker 1: was a visa band that was put out on you know,
Speaker 1: sort of all sides involved in the conflict, but really
Speaker 1: they relate to the game. I mean, we're going on
Speaker 1: now seven months of what's happening. I mean, don't forget
Speaker 1: Trump was the one who was in office when this started,
Speaker 1: so Biden hasn't had a full seven months to really
Speaker 1: address this, you know what I mean. Trump wasn't going
Speaker 1: to do anything. He didn't care, he had nothing to
Speaker 1: gain from it. Trump was transactional. So I would say,
Speaker 1: you know, Biden's team, they've done a lot in a
Speaker 1: short amount of time. I mean they've sent a special
Speaker 1: envoy to the Horn of Africa. They you know, as
Speaker 1: soon as he came back, when Free Feltman came back,
Speaker 1: within twenty four hours, you had Senate Resolution ninety seven
Speaker 1: was passed, the UN passed, you know, the Right to
Speaker 1: Protect Act. So I think a lot has happened undervited.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not fast enough. We're talking about at
Speaker 1: least one hundred and fifty thousand people have been killed,
Speaker 1: at least if you multiply, I mean, if you divide
Speaker 1: that by two hundred and two days. It's like one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five people a day or so, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: seven hundred people a day. So it's a lot of
Speaker 1: people who are dying. So it's not fast enough. It's
Speaker 1: just not fast enough. We're all losing our families. But
Speaker 1: hopefully with the sanctions that have been announced, something's going
Speaker 1: to change. And listen, the issue of Airtryan soldiers being
Speaker 1: into Gray. We can't I can't stress that enough. Think
Speaker 1: about this. We're in New York right now. If the
Speaker 1: federal government had an issue in New York and invited
Speaker 1: Canada in to bomb New York, that's outrageous, right, That's
Speaker 1: unheard of, and you wouldn't even imagine that outside New
Speaker 1: York exactly exactly. That's literally what's happening into Gray right now.
Speaker 1: So and to me, I mean, to Gray is an
Speaker 1: important place you think about, like from a spiritual perspective,
Speaker 1: to gray. Christianity argue Lee started in Ethiopia into gray.
Speaker 1: Islam was saved, muhammad followers were saved into gray. The
Speaker 1: oldest mosque in Africa is into gray. The oldest known
Speaker 1: manuscripts Christian manuscripts are into gray. All of those things
Speaker 1: have been looted, all of those places have been bombed
Speaker 1: in this conflict that's not coincidental. Is literally spiritual warfare
Speaker 1: that's happening. I didn't even say this, but they've locked
Speaker 1: up the Black Pope, the Pope of Ethiopia, literally the
Speaker 1: head of the entire church in Ethiopia is on house
Speaker 1: arrest because he spoke up. He's an ethnic tick grind
Speaker 1: and he spoke up. And I mean that alone should
Speaker 1: make you want to act. So again, how can people
Speaker 1: help if they're a way too besides posting on their
Speaker 1: Instagram and talking about it, And how would you advise
Speaker 1: people to help you are listening now? I think awareness
Speaker 1: is the big thing. I mean, honestly, people still don't know.
Speaker 1: So raising the awareness, reaching out to your senators, reaching
Speaker 1: out to your congress people, you know. Follow There's several
Speaker 1: organizations that you can follow that have action items and
Speaker 1: things that you can do to get involved, whether it's
Speaker 1: signing petitions or donating money. I can mention some of
Speaker 1: those if you want, but sure, okay, OHM not Tigray
Speaker 1: is one of them. Tigray Action Committee is another one
Speaker 1: HPN for Tigray Health Professionals for Tigray is another one.
Speaker 1: Stand with Tigray is another one. So there's all these
Speaker 1: organizations just go to their websites and there's lots of
Speaker 1: ways that you can interact and get involved. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: on the Aeratran side, you know, part of what's happening
Speaker 1: right now is the authoritarian ruler Si Suporki's efforts to
Speaker 1: try to consolidate power. And again there's a long standing
Speaker 1: blood feud between him and the GRIND, the TPLF, the
Speaker 1: former regional government that's now you know, sort of embroiled
Speaker 1: in this war. And so from the Erytran side, you know,
Speaker 1: committing to ensure that aery Trea itself does not have
Speaker 1: to deal with this authoritarian ruler is something that all
Speaker 1: people should be able to stand up for. So, you know,
Speaker 1: we need more advocacy, We need people saying that, like
Speaker 1: what's going on in aery Trea is not only just
Speaker 1: going to stop within aery Treas borders, right, it extends
Speaker 1: beyond its borders. We see refugees struggling not only into
Speaker 1: grid throughout the world, and so like if people can
Speaker 1: take action and pains that are going on on the
Speaker 1: Erytrean side, like the Free Seaham campaign. This is a
Speaker 1: fifteen UM. This is a girl who was imprisoned in
Speaker 1: Eritreach when she was fifteen years old for fleeing the country.
Speaker 1: She's actually born in La, She's Erytrean American. She's been
Speaker 1: in secret prison for the last nine years. UM. And
Speaker 1: so all of these things human rights abuses that happened
Speaker 1: internally with an Erytre Again, it doesn't stop at Erytre's
Speaker 1: borders because again the authoritarian ruler we have so get
Speaker 1: involved with one day sume um and check out. You know,
Speaker 1: many of these different accounts that that are focused on
Speaker 1: Erytrean human rights abuses UM against we can show solidary
Speaker 1: and make sure that was happening in the region no
Speaker 1: longer stands. We'll give me a name one more time,

Speaker 1: Swizzy Swiss bon Zone Zone Zone Man Swiss. Is this
Speaker 1: a h and it is a bittersweet moment, the fact
Speaker 1: that Exodus album drops to day DMX's last project. It is,
Speaker 1: but it's it's a happy moment. It's a happy moment
Speaker 1: because you know, Dog was headed to do the record.
Speaker 1: You know, this is not something that we put together,
Speaker 1: you know, since he's since he's left us. Um he
Speaker 1: wanted to record out before now wow, you know, but
Speaker 1: we had clearances and different things like that, and so
Speaker 1: you know, he was supposed to get into his workout phase.
Speaker 1: So after we record the album, he was going to
Speaker 1: you know, work out for two months and get his
Speaker 1: body in shape. Like we had a whole plan. But
Speaker 1: I know that he's happy right now that you know,
Speaker 1: we have to finish line and this is available for everybody,
Speaker 1: and that's why we just kept pushing it. You know,
Speaker 1: although everything is heavy, you know, fresh like I'm hiding
Speaker 1: behind these glasses, I'm hiding behind this music. But you know,
Speaker 1: it comes down on me real hard. But we gotta
Speaker 1: keep you know, we gotta keep it going. What's the
Speaker 1: album done? Was it fully done before he passed? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he approved every song. The only thing that was changed
Speaker 1: on the album was pop smokes verse whatever. Yea. I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask about that because everybody teased that pop
Speaker 1: Smoke was on the album. Yeah, he was on the album,
Speaker 1: but they used the verse and then so you know,
Speaker 1: that's why I put money back. You're on the track.
Speaker 1: All the money, money, money or pop was on that yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, you know. So we was excited for it,
Speaker 1: but then when we heard that we couldn't use it,
Speaker 1: I was just like damn. And then um, money bag. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a good relationship with him, you know, and
Speaker 1: he turned it around real quick because we I almost
Speaker 1: had to take the track off the album. Wow, and
Speaker 1: so like that that saved the track. So shout out
Speaker 1: the money bag. You know, how are you? I know
Speaker 1: you said you hiding behind the glasses, but how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm hurt, bro, I'm hurt. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just out here giving the energy that
Speaker 1: X deserve, you know, and and and and doing this,
Speaker 1: but I haven't really, I haven't really take it all
Speaker 1: in yet. You know. It's it's a lot because you know,
Speaker 1: you see certain things and you just can't. I couldn't
Speaker 1: hit stop drop. I'm just not able to hit stop dropping. Wow,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And um wow, sending to
Speaker 1: the album on certain songs like it just catch you
Speaker 1: out of nowhere about excuse myself and go to the
Speaker 1: bathroom and you know, to shake it off and come
Speaker 1: back in the room. But um, it's I haven't. I
Speaker 1: haven't witnessed. I wasn't expecting it. You say. Is the
Speaker 1: most autobiographical for him on this album so many, you know,
Speaker 1: like he gave people so much uncut moments into his
Speaker 1: life on the record, you know, like letter to my son.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I've watched I've done so much this week,
Speaker 1: you know, with playing people to record, and I watched
Speaker 1: every time see people leaving the room, I see people
Speaker 1: going through the thing, and I was like wow, Like
Speaker 1: he really gave people something to connect to that on
Speaker 1: that record, and that was very personal to him. And um,
Speaker 1: you know, I called his son who he wrote the
Speaker 1: song about, Xavier to the studio to hear the album
Speaker 1: first out of respect, you know. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I can't have him hear this album or this record
Speaker 1: when the when the public has it, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, no matter what they was going through. Like,
Speaker 1: so I called him to the studio and I'm really
Speaker 1: proud of him because he was in such a great move.
Speaker 1: He was just like loving the songs, and I was
Speaker 1: just like, every we're getting close to letter to my son,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh boy, I gotta play him this
Speaker 1: record and I'm just like preparing for them. When I
Speaker 1: played the record, like he just started smiling, he started clapping.
Speaker 1: His energy was real good. And if it took so
Speaker 1: much weight off my back because he accepted the record.
Speaker 1: He even accepted the song, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're good. Good and then hold me down as another one.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's the truth if I ever heard it,
Speaker 1: Like he told you everything and that and then between
Speaker 1: them two verses he told you his whole life. Well
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He said, I witnessed those
Speaker 1: I know, I know all of those things that he's
Speaker 1: talking about. And I was like, man, he's always been
Speaker 1: real on his records, but this record, he was like
Speaker 1: uncut real you know. You know what about Bath Salts.
Speaker 1: I know him and Jay had a rocky relationship at time,
Speaker 1: So how was creating that and how was that? Because
Speaker 1: they had to have a conversation. How was that couple?
Speaker 1: They had a competitive you know, x X created this
Speaker 1: villain of X and his of hoving his mind. But
Speaker 1: you know, when I would get on him about it
Speaker 1: because it was so long ago, extra laughing j other,
Speaker 1: He's like, come on, man, I gotta have one. I
Speaker 1: gotta have one villain in this thing. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know, but I know that he respect
Speaker 1: Jay for him to call him a villain, and you know,
Speaker 1: it was getting to the point where they was going
Speaker 1: to really lock in, lock in, you know, in LA,
Speaker 1: but we didn't get to do that, and so um,
Speaker 1: you know Jay already Jay approved the song and everything
Speaker 1: like that, but they didn't really connect all the way
Speaker 1: like they was about to. And because I speak to
Speaker 1: both of them, I was speaking to both of them deadly,
Speaker 1: So I know, I know the temperature, you could tell
Speaker 1: what the temperature is, and the temperature was positive. And
Speaker 1: you know, Jay was like even when he called Jay
Speaker 1: out for versus. You know, Jay was like, Man, I'm
Speaker 1: not your villain. I'm not the villain. I'm your brother.
Speaker 1: I love you. You know what I'm saying that exercyche.
Speaker 1: He felt that, you know, all X one was the
Speaker 1: love to be honest this whole time, he just wanted
Speaker 1: to love. For people that don't know DMX break down
Speaker 1: who DMX as a person because they see the outside right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and they don't see the kund hard and they don't
Speaker 1: see the the guy that gives his last. They don't
Speaker 1: see the person that will give an opportunity to I
Speaker 1: was grateful enough to see that side. So for people
Speaker 1: that don't know, how would you break down DMX of
Speaker 1: who he is as a person. He was a humanitarian
Speaker 1: to the max. You know, his philanthropic work is I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it in our business yet. You know, I've
Speaker 1: been watching this man give his clothes off his back
Speaker 1: and shoes, give his money away. You know, he would pray,
Speaker 1: like when I said he he'ld pray for other people
Speaker 1: before when he needed to pray. As the most he
Speaker 1: would feed other people before he feed itself, you know,
Speaker 1: like he was. He was one of the best fathers
Speaker 1: I've seen. You know, he really really really cared, Like
Speaker 1: he didn't care about no materialistic things that you can't
Speaker 1: There was no way to buy a DMX. There was
Speaker 1: only a way to love him, you understand. And that's
Speaker 1: what people didn't really understand. Like the X wasn't even
Speaker 1: asking for nothing from from people. You know, he just
Speaker 1: wanted to love from people that he loved. He just
Speaker 1: wanted it back, And that's what you're had in that song,
Speaker 1: He's like, it hurts when people that I love don't
Speaker 1: want me take it off from me. Didn't think they
Speaker 1: could judge me, treat me like I'm ugly, But I
Speaker 1: ain't never been a dummy because I know God loves me.
Speaker 1: He see what I'm saying, Like I watched him, you know.
Speaker 1: And even on a letter to my son, he says,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you thought about my use of
Speaker 1: drugs would have taught you enough to not use the drugs.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, and I know that's real because you
Speaker 1: know X was you know, he was poisoned at fourteen
Speaker 1: with this addiction, right, you understand. And I give him
Speaker 1: super credit and super props for making a name from
Speaker 1: himself when he could have been off the map because
Speaker 1: it was hardcore. You know. But I've watched X get
Speaker 1: so many people offer drugs and not to do drugs. Unbelievable,
Speaker 1: you know, Like even if we just did a segment
Speaker 1: on the people he saved from drugs, it's something that
Speaker 1: we've never seen before. Wow. And that's why I like
Speaker 1: when I say profit light, because X was walking amongst
Speaker 1: the people and never talked about it. You know, he
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't do no interviews about anything that he did.
Speaker 1: As far as get it back, you know, all right,
Speaker 1: we got more with Swiss Beats when we come back.
Speaker 1: Let's get into a joint. This is letter to my
Speaker 1: son or Damex's Exodus album that's out right now featuring Usher.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club Good Morning. That was lettering to
Speaker 1: my son and we're still kicking it with Swiss Beats now.
Speaker 1: Ye other day in the studio, you were talking about
Speaker 1: X working with Griselda and how that was in the studio.
Speaker 1: So can you talk about that energy I produced on
Speaker 1: the whole album. You know, I just had co producers
Speaker 1: and things like that, because like you know, the album
Speaker 1: wasn't about me. You know, the album was like, how
Speaker 1: can we make a classic timeless peace? You know, so
Speaker 1: if I needed some other producers to ask some different
Speaker 1: things that I felt I was missing, Like I just
Speaker 1: did it. It's it's it's biggness, It's how can we
Speaker 1: have the biggest project for Dog? This is his comeback project?
Speaker 1: And you know it was no ego and playing shout
Speaker 1: out to all the producers that contribute to the album.
Speaker 1: Now back to what you just said. With the Gazella,
Speaker 1: I look up in here in the studio with them,
Speaker 1: So I'm like what and he called it like yo,
Speaker 1: him saying them in here with the Gazette, the boys,
Speaker 1: Yo what I'm saying. I just like the day they
Speaker 1: they real you know what I'm saying, Like I just
Speaker 1: had to come in their space, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's working, working, you know what I'm saying. I didn't
Speaker 1: have to call him like he surprised me with the
Speaker 1: verse and so it was just so great to see
Speaker 1: him and his element and his groove. He started feeling
Speaker 1: the love when when when the artist started coming to
Speaker 1: the studio, Like when my wife came to the studio,
Speaker 1: I should came to the studio, snoop, you know, Snoopers.
Speaker 1: He's a different level bro like Snoop hospitality that he
Speaker 1: showed us in that studio because X got motivated after
Speaker 1: Versus to do the record. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: He got he got his confidence back because all of
Speaker 1: the fans was like yo, his record started going back
Speaker 1: on the charts and younger artists started calling him for
Speaker 1: verses and things like that, and so that was the
Speaker 1: energy that we kept to go through the album. So
Speaker 1: we didn't even leave La. We stayed at Snoop studio
Speaker 1: from Versus and finished the album. Wow, I'm saying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Snoop cook for us every night like I never seen
Speaker 1: I've never even seen that in our industry, Like he
Speaker 1: wouldn't even if he didn't have a studio session. He
Speaker 1: would come and cook for us, make sure we straight,
Speaker 1: and go about his business. I was every day. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is different. He said, XS, like I
Speaker 1: need to get some music, new music today. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: X's like, you know, I liked the verses and everything,
Speaker 1: but I just wish that I had new music to
Speaker 1: show people today, like where my mind is at where
Speaker 1: I man. I was like, yo, okay, well let's do it.
Speaker 1: And that's when I knew he was serious. I knew
Speaker 1: he was serious when he did Versus. But then I
Speaker 1: knew he was serious when when when we stayed in
Speaker 1: LA he was coming to the studio at twelve in
Speaker 1: the afternoon, because as his producer, I know that's the
Speaker 1: time you're gonna get the best vocals. I can't work
Speaker 1: with eight pm. It's finish, it's done already, his voices. Saw.
Speaker 1: You know, he talks different. He talks like he wraps right.
Speaker 1: So by the time it's eight o'clock, like we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to do the vocals over Anyway, How hard was
Speaker 1: it for him to do Verses? Did you have to
Speaker 1: talk him into it or like was that an easy
Speaker 1: cell for him? No? Man, you know X because X
Speaker 1: is a battle rapper right like he don't. I had
Speaker 1: to let him really digest the concept. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm gonna do somebody dirty. So I'm telling
Speaker 1: you what I'm saying, like, I uh, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: somebody dirty, dirty, dirty, like, so to be careful who
Speaker 1: you pick, because I'm gonna do him dirty. I said, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: this is not that Douge celebration sharing of music you know,
Speaker 1: two people that respect each other. And then I just
Speaker 1: left him alone. I just left him with that. And
Speaker 1: then um, he started watching it and really paying attention.
Speaker 1: And I think it was the Papular Belt one. It
Speaker 1: was one of those one of those old school ones
Speaker 1: that he got it. He was called me, it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, I see what this is. All right, I'm in,
Speaker 1: you know, And I was like, what you think about Snoop?
Speaker 1: He's like perfect, I said, dog with the dog, He's
Speaker 1: like perfect. Once he was in, he was in. But
Speaker 1: I knew it was when he got on the plane
Speaker 1: because exit and in mid sixty plane. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, he was on time. Might give it to him.
Speaker 1: You know you said earlier that that it was kind
Speaker 1: of a shock. Do you went X pass away? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we wasn't. We wasn't. We wasn't on that time. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. X wasn't on that time. And
Speaker 1: that's why you've seen him gained so much weight. You know,
Speaker 1: when I was happy when he had to wait on him,
Speaker 1: because I knew he was healthy. He was really going
Speaker 1: hard for his son, Exodus, you know, for Shore, like
Speaker 1: like Exodus helped him a lot, Um, he really loved
Speaker 1: that boy a lot, Like like I've seen him, he
Speaker 1: loved all his kids. I witnessed him loving all his kids.
Speaker 1: M but Exodus lived with him and you could just
Speaker 1: see the strength of Exodus being in the studio with him.
Speaker 1: That gave him strength and and I think that really
Speaker 1: helped him out a lot. And so there was other
Speaker 1: times I was worried, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: I've seen excellent in serious situations, But this time we
Speaker 1: was chilling, like we was like chilling, like he's supposed
Speaker 1: to go home, go see the family, take a break.
Speaker 1: Then we was gonna start start the two month workout
Speaker 1: playing you know what I'm saying. He was looking forward.
Speaker 1: He calling me about the workout. I'm like, damn, Like, okay,
Speaker 1: you want to go to you ready? Huh? He was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I'm tired of Belly. I want you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, We're gonna go dog on him.
Speaker 1: Then we come, We're gonna we're gonna show me in
Speaker 1: the gym, show my transition. Then we dropped the album.
Speaker 1: So it was a whole it was a whole plan,
Speaker 1: and he was he was with it. He was gad
Speaker 1: at him. You know, yeah, I didn't. It caught me
Speaker 1: way left. You remember where you were at. I was
Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia. And what's crazy is before I left,
Speaker 1: he called me and he was like, he told me
Speaker 1: he wanted to be with me. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you talking about, y'all? I
Speaker 1: just want you know what I'm saying. I want I
Speaker 1: want to be where you're at, like you know, like
Speaker 1: like let's connect. I just want to be next to
Speaker 1: your energy and X don't never really call me like that.
Speaker 1: You know, there's something he would probably tell me in person,
Speaker 1: but like he picked up the phone like he stepped
Speaker 1: out of a club or something because I can head
Speaker 1: in the background, and he personally said that to me,
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, well, um, why don't you
Speaker 1: call me on this trip? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I say it'd be great. You like the desert, it's
Speaker 1: a good getaways. I think it's cool for us to
Speaker 1: just get away and for you to see something different.
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, that sounds good. He was like, oh,
Speaker 1: how long is the flight? Seventeen hours? I want to
Speaker 1: be next to you that long. Yeah, He's like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be next to you that long. I
Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm saying, you know, it's it's a
Speaker 1: good vibe. We got the studio, you know, like we
Speaker 1: time is gonna go go go go fast on the plane,
Speaker 1: trust me. And he's like, m I'm gonna call you
Speaker 1: back on that. And then um, of course I didn't
Speaker 1: hear from him, so I left like two days later,
Speaker 1: and then like two days after I got there, he
Speaker 1: wrote me. Um, he wrote me in text and was
Speaker 1: just like, man, you know, I just appreciate everything you've
Speaker 1: done for me, you know, I just I just want
Speaker 1: to tell you I appreciate everything you've done for me.
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, like you being a little weird,
Speaker 1: but wrote them back. I said, appreciate you too. Dog
Speaker 1: for life And I sent him to mister Magic Rapp
Speaker 1: Attack playlists that I found with all the old school
Speaker 1: hip hop vibes and that that was our last That
Speaker 1: was our last text. You know, you know the word exodus,
Speaker 1: it means the road out. So when you hear that,
Speaker 1: did that title make you feel like x X new?
Speaker 1: I think he knew something for sure, because like you know,
Speaker 1: when I look at like, let's say Kobe. You know,
Speaker 1: like before Kobe left us, I seen him everywhere. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe I was seeing him everywhere. You know, I'm like,
Speaker 1: ye oh, he's a puff party. He's here. You've never
Speaker 1: seen I never personally seen Kobe out like that, Like
Speaker 1: it was just like he was just out making his rounds.
Speaker 1: And I've seen that same parallel line with Dog, Like
Speaker 1: I've seen him voluntarily doing interviews, everybody from Miami calling me,
Speaker 1: He's showing up, he's at t I's house, He's all
Speaker 1: over the damn place. I'm just like, Dog, like I said,
Speaker 1: you can't you out out like this is what, this
Speaker 1: is the new you. And he was like he's like
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm just I'm setting up,
Speaker 1: you know, so when I'm doing the groundworks. When we
Speaker 1: dropped the album, I did the groundworks, you know, so
Speaker 1: so so it's not just popping up. And I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand that, but it was just weird to me
Speaker 1: that he was in so many places like you had.
Speaker 1: People have so many stories like that that was just
Speaker 1: with him, like and people have great stories about like
Speaker 1: just who didn't even know him, just about running into
Speaker 1: him and how he treated people. And I think that's
Speaker 1: how anybody should want to be remembered, the way people
Speaker 1: that didn't even know him can't remember what their experiences
Speaker 1: were like. Were you able to watch the TV one
Speaker 1: uncensored that I watched it. That interview was a little
Speaker 1: deep because it was an x that I've never seen,
Speaker 1: you know, like, I've never seen him so laid back
Speaker 1: and on purpose he was he something was on his
Speaker 1: mind at that time as well, though you know, well,
Speaker 1: old movie. We got more with Swiss when we come back.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody in stj
Speaker 1: Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Swiss beats. Did he like
Speaker 1: to do interviews because he loved the Breakfast Club? For
Speaker 1: some reason. He always would come, always would all day too.
Speaker 1: After that long one day, I left after the interview
Speaker 1: and I was gone for like I had to go
Speaker 1: do something in Jersey. I came back. He was still here.
Speaker 1: He said it for hours. He took the he took
Speaker 1: the market rope, graffiti all on the wall. We had
Speaker 1: to have people come clean the wall off. I'm like,
Speaker 1: who's gonna tell Exton stop? I'm not gonna tell stop.
Speaker 1: He was outside eating hot dogs. Man, that's if he
Speaker 1: if he if he if, it wasn't nothing you could
Speaker 1: do about it, you know. So he felt the energy
Speaker 1: up here and he felt protective, felt he could be
Speaker 1: real with you guys. He liked that type of stuff,
Speaker 1: even if it's raw, like you know, he don't. He
Speaker 1: don't like the fake zones. So he felt he felt
Speaker 1: a real zone with you guys. And every time I
Speaker 1: see him up here, I was like, man, I just
Speaker 1: hope you don't talk about no other artists. I like
Speaker 1: that though, because he definitely you know, I think when
Speaker 1: you say something and then you can come back and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I shouldn't have said that, that's that's
Speaker 1: really mature, and that's a good example for other people,
Speaker 1: because sometimes people want to like double down on things
Speaker 1: and don't want to admit when they're wrong. I agree
Speaker 1: with that. He did it with Drake. With Drake, you know,
Speaker 1: he said he was a good guy, reached out to him,
Speaker 1: and I thought that was real. Did you ever reach out?
Speaker 1: Did you ever you and Drake ever squash things? I
Speaker 1: know one time you and Drake were going back and forth. No,
Speaker 1: we haven't. We haven't spoken yet. You know, we haven't spoken.
Speaker 1: You know, um, you know we haven't spoken. How do
Speaker 1: you feel when when people try to act like no
Speaker 1: one gave X's fly I tried to help him when
Speaker 1: he was here. I wouldn't say no one, I just
Speaker 1: when when when I made my speech about that, you know,
Speaker 1: those who giving him his flowers in his garden, which
Speaker 1: a lot of fans did, a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of people around the world definitely did. For sure. I'm
Speaker 1: mainly talking about the people that he wanted them from
Speaker 1: that was close to him. I understand family members, so
Speaker 1: called friends and things like that, you know, like I
Speaker 1: was really around X. I really know the conversations. I
Speaker 1: really you know, I've been there for the whole thing
Speaker 1: since seventeen, you know, really since fifteen. I'm at X
Speaker 1: at fifteen, But the fame started at seventeen with us,
Speaker 1: and just to see the people come and go, and
Speaker 1: the inconsistency of love and the endless want of wanting
Speaker 1: and taking and not being there when he really he
Speaker 1: didn't mind giving, you know what I'm saying. But like
Speaker 1: at least give him the love back and return, and
Speaker 1: so like I just got a little annoyed, you know,
Speaker 1: because um it was it was just like, at least,
Speaker 1: let this day be about him, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like everybody was making it about them. They wasn't like
Speaker 1: even Kanye, let it be about dog, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like Kanye had a full mask on. You
Speaker 1: didn't even know where he was at in the building,
Speaker 1: he was on stage. You didn't know, Yes, he did
Speaker 1: the Sunday Service, you know what I'm saying, Like because
Speaker 1: DMX did Sunday Service. He did it three times him
Speaker 1: and had had a great relationship. You know, people were
Speaker 1: like upset about it, but they had that relationship and
Speaker 1: he supported and was at Sunday Service. X was super
Speaker 1: proud of Kanye for stepping out and what he believed in.
Speaker 1: And X wanted to do like a Sunday Service himself.
Speaker 1: So for him seeing Kanye doing it, he was super
Speaker 1: happy for him. And he was like, Yo, anytime you
Speaker 1: need me to talk, because I remember when I first
Speaker 1: got the phone called him him doing He called me like, Yo,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you and Kanye good. I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, what you're saying. He's like, na, because
Speaker 1: I knew you had a problem with the hat and
Speaker 1: all the stuff here. I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: you're good. I said, no, we goold. You know he
Speaker 1: Kanye is, you know, he's his own man. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not going to really judge him off of things
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I'm saying. Problem with the
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. But when
Speaker 1: I told him that me and Kanye was good, he
Speaker 1: was so excited, like thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, like what's up. He's like nah,
Speaker 1: he wanted me to. He want me to, you know,
Speaker 1: talk at the service, And I was like wow, But
Speaker 1: that's how X was, Like he almost asked for my
Speaker 1: permission to do so. He's always been lawyer, Like you've
Speaker 1: never seen X with another label, Like even when he
Speaker 1: started bloodline right as he had a rough out of all.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like like X was just
Speaker 1: he was just a different He's I haven't he's different.
Speaker 1: We've seen how spiritual he was, but where did that
Speaker 1: come from? Like did you ever see X, you know
Speaker 1: reading the Bible? Like with like he was just so spiritual,
Speaker 1: and it didn't matter where it was. It could have
Speaker 1: been a Popeyes, it could have been at a club,
Speaker 1: it could have been in a restaurant before shows, like
Speaker 1: where we where would you get that from? You know?
Speaker 1: For me, it wasn't like a new thing. It always
Speaker 1: knew him for that, right, So it wasn't like strange.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like something happened and he became holier than
Speaker 1: thow Right. He was always like that, like we can
Speaker 1: be going through like some crazy stuff, but we have
Speaker 1: a prayer happening before some wild stuff is jumping off.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're praying right now. Always pray before he
Speaker 1: had food. He just was always that, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I only knew him for that, and and
Speaker 1: he started he shared that with the world from since
Speaker 1: day one. You know, praying in front of fifty thousand
Speaker 1: people on the stage. I couldn't believe he was doing.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're about to pray in front of
Speaker 1: the crowd, it's a show down. He's like, nah, they
Speaker 1: need it. And when I started seeing thugs and gang
Speaker 1: bangers crying in the crowd or he's onto something different,
Speaker 1: he just annointed. He always always meant like I always
Speaker 1: said that you see X, you see God. That's a fact.
Speaker 1: That's it thinks Marvin Gay sample on the album, How
Speaker 1: hard was that to clear? Or they cleaned us up
Speaker 1: for that one. It gave us a nice shape up
Speaker 1: with that one. But you know, sometimes you got to
Speaker 1: let the artistreet flow, his estate deserve it, you know.
Speaker 1: And we chose to use the record. So that's if
Speaker 1: they're a lot more ex music or he didn't record
Speaker 1: as much as we got a lot of music. He
Speaker 1: had a lot more. They got a lot of music.
Speaker 1: This question has been coming up, like everybody I've been
Speaker 1: saying like this is going to be another, this, another that.
Speaker 1: For me, it's like, um, he worked so hard on
Speaker 1: this record, Like I don't really want to tamper with
Speaker 1: things unless it can be better than this record got.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, Like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: just put things out. And even with the footage that
Speaker 1: we had, we recorded the whole process of the album,
Speaker 1: and it's like we could have been putting that footage
Speaker 1: out right now leading up to the album. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: let's do something masterful with it. Let's let's treat it
Speaker 1: as art and curated to it that it adds to
Speaker 1: his legacy and it's not just a blip of a
Speaker 1: moment that seems like it works, but you still don't
Speaker 1: really understand the whole story. Like he deserved for the
Speaker 1: whole body to be cure his story, you know, especially
Speaker 1: even like working on this album, in the footage, it
Speaker 1: should be like it should feel like something real, you know,
Speaker 1: and so um that's the goal. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people got footage on Dog and it's like, Yo,
Speaker 1: everybody out there that got the footage on it, just
Speaker 1: cure rate man, you know what I'm saying. Just just
Speaker 1: think about the legacy and not just put something out
Speaker 1: just to say you have it. You know. You know
Speaker 1: this this X album, Man Exodus is very special and
Speaker 1: I think it's just my opinion that musically it's the
Speaker 1: best DMX album ever. You wouldn't know better than anybody.
Speaker 1: What do you think? I agree with you? Because you know,
Speaker 1: the thing that I love about the album is X
Speaker 1: embraced his age, you know what I'm saying, Like he
Speaker 1: was cool with being fifty ye, And when I look
Speaker 1: back at a lot of the artists, the legends when
Speaker 1: they come back, they try to like jump in the
Speaker 1: game that's happening now you have no experience in that game,
Speaker 1: and it actually ages you more when you do that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So when I seen X
Speaker 1: starting to understand, like, Yo, you just gotta be you,
Speaker 1: and then I can curate around that and we could
Speaker 1: bring the energy to you as as needed. But we
Speaker 1: don't have to compromise that. I can't, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I'm not gonna put you on a
Speaker 1: track beat just to talking about streams and spins and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Let's just do what we do, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And the people that love it
Speaker 1: and I want to hear something different, they're gonna they're
Speaker 1: gonna rock with it. But we gotta be who we are, right.
Speaker 1: That's a little baby And Derek pushed their album back
Speaker 1: just to show respect for X's album coming out. See
Speaker 1: I respect that, you know what I'm saying, Like I
Speaker 1: was handing about it, but like I didn't. I'm not
Speaker 1: expecting people to do certain things, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Because everybody got you know, they got their life that
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta plans for and things like that.
Speaker 1: But you know, shout out to those brothers for doing
Speaker 1: something like that, and I like it because it's a
Speaker 1: great representation of the youth. You know, that's a real
Speaker 1: stand up move and x x X definitely appreciate that,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate that well move. We got more with
Speaker 1: Swiss when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
Speaker 1: morning be Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Swiss beats. Let's
Speaker 1: switch your lens. What's what's next for verses? For you?
Speaker 1: Sunday and Soldier Boy happening. First, let's start with Sunday, right,
Speaker 1: because this is a rematch, So what are the rules
Speaker 1: for a rematch? Shoot? You know, this is our first
Speaker 1: time actually being on our platform. We have to follow
Speaker 1: the rules. Now. When we started, we went for five hours.
Speaker 1: But this is live in the club though, right, Yeah, say,
Speaker 1: I'm coming, I gotta I gotta pool party in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: so I'll be there that night. Let's go. Oh, so
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the party like that, Yes, Wow, Sunday night.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be live audience first time, so probably
Speaker 1: a lot of guests Memorial weekend. Oh okay, okay, makes sense.
Speaker 1: You know whoever did we now see this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a tough one. See, because you gotta make yourself
Speaker 1: a meant so many club records. That mean because you're
Speaker 1: in the clubs. So it's not like people are watching.
Speaker 1: They could just bop their head like but tim do too.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good one. It's a good one.
Speaker 1: It's a good one. What's your story? Already? Know you're
Speaker 1: bringing out all the special guests too. I know you
Speaker 1: got some special guests. I'm definitely coming. They don't tell
Speaker 1: you something I haven't had time to even focus on that.
Speaker 1: I've been in this. You have a schedule. This is
Speaker 1: a crazy weekend. To tell you something. I haven't moved
Speaker 1: like this in years. I was, my son is with me,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, see this the stuff they don't tell
Speaker 1: you about you see this work right, get ready for this.
Speaker 1: All that other stuff, your videos and all that stuff
Speaker 1: was cool, But this right here, forty sixty zooms a day,
Speaker 1: I'm zoomed out. I remember my speech entirely. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying from saying it, so damn, It's like, Yo,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. But you know ex deserved. I gotta
Speaker 1: do it. I don't care no sleep. I was bagging
Speaker 1: up under these glass, says, I gotta do it. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Because x X never really did
Speaker 1: promo like that, right, So all the drops he missed,
Speaker 1: I had to do this week, radio station drop. I
Speaker 1: had to do this week, every interview he didn't do it.
Speaker 1: I had to do this. That's always surprised. He's been
Speaker 1: to the Breakfast three we were black. He always anything
Speaker 1: we ever asked X four if I name Club and
Speaker 1: Nori that's his favorite? Yea as those two. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: got some classics with drink Champs for sure. Now what
Speaker 1: about you, soldier boy? What what's going on with that?
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that official? Is that just conversation? Are
Speaker 1: you just laughing? Contract? Knock it off? And I told
Speaker 1: him that a knock it off? But you know I
Speaker 1: like it because you know, let's let you let them
Speaker 1: have fun, you know what I'm saying. Like I would
Speaker 1: have rolled it out a different way, but I just
Speaker 1: like that. You know, they're excited um that they're doing
Speaker 1: it and it's organically so is it official as of
Speaker 1: today's efficient or as of today it's efficient as of
Speaker 1: today is ficial? Wow, you know would be you know,
Speaker 1: I will be going in and out and I don't
Speaker 1: know what we happened. Bauer Sometimes I like his negotiation
Speaker 1: tactics though, you know what I mean, the negotia. You're
Speaker 1: the one called me to do it. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: it hyped people up. It makes people have more interest
Speaker 1: in even though I think it's gonna be a great
Speaker 1: versus because say what you wanted about Soldier Boy and Baa,
Speaker 1: you can't deny what they did music and they're very entertaining.
Speaker 1: I'm oh, my goodness, it's gonna be a movie. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I like it because those those
Speaker 1: they they did, they made history so young. That's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. They deserve it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They deserve it. That one time you had Dre on
Speaker 1: the fishing line a little bit. Who he was on
Speaker 1: the fishing line a little bit? Did you get him
Speaker 1: back on it or is it he still like h Now?
Speaker 1: Dre came around pretty good. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Dre came around pretty good. I gave um Dre his privacy,
Speaker 1: you know, because because of what you're going through. So
Speaker 1: I didn't really I speak to him, but I haven't
Speaker 1: been speaking to him about that, but you know, more
Speaker 1: speaking to him like human, Yes, a human you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I don't call people just to
Speaker 1: like forenagle the business. Like if Drey want to bring
Speaker 1: it up again, I'm gonna let him bring it up
Speaker 1: and start the conversation because he can't. He has some
Speaker 1: great ideas of what he wanted to do. Now the
Speaker 1: person that he wanted to do it with, I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna agree with the terms that he's saying,
Speaker 1: but he had a great idea for the verses, so
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we'll get to that. Come on, everybody said,
Speaker 1: he what about Mary Marry want to do it? Or
Speaker 1: though yeah, yeah, I would love to, but I think
Speaker 1: Mary could only do it with like an Usher, She's
Speaker 1: gonna have a hard time. Then I agree, Crazy and
Speaker 1: Usher got them things. That's right. What are you gonna
Speaker 1: play after? I'm going down? Right? I mean just married
Speaker 1: first album and it's it's I don't know, man, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just different music. He's the closest I see
Speaker 1: I'll do Mary Ria. I can see that one Mary, Mariah,
Speaker 1: I can see. I don't know about that one. Usha,
Speaker 1: I don't know who goes against us. Everybody's gonna have
Speaker 1: a bad time with Mary, Yes, everybody. It's a bad day.
Speaker 1: Weather's on the other side of that. And this is celebration.
Speaker 1: It's a bad day. It's three because you gotta understand,
Speaker 1: Mary's songs got women through their life. You hit that,
Speaker 1: it's three catalogs, Mary usher Hove. But Mary and Hove,
Speaker 1: is they here to me? That's you know that soundtracks
Speaker 1: to people's lives. Man Like, come on, well, we appreciate
Speaker 1: you for joining us. Swiss, Thank you guys. The albums
Speaker 1: out right now, Exodus Picture making number one. We can
Speaker 1: make a number one just in New York City. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: let's go all right. It's the Breakfast Club. The Swiss
Speaker 1: beats song Zone, So breakfast Club, Your morning's will never
Speaker 1: be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee. By using brands
Speaker 1: like Dove and Helmets, you're supporting Unilever and the every
Speaker 1: day good they do, like donating more than twenty five
Speaker 1: million dollars where the everyday products and services to groups
Speaker 1: like Feeding America this year, visit Unilever does good dot
Speaker 1: Com to support communities impacted by the pandemic. Donkey of
Speaker 1: the Day Democrat, So being Dunky of the Day is
Speaker 1: a little bit of a mixed so like other Day. Now,
Speaker 1: I've been called a lot of my twenty three years,
Speaker 1: But Donkey other Day is a new wife. Yeah. Donkey
Speaker 1: of the Day goes to a home inspecting Michigan named
Speaker 1: Kevin Wayne van Loving. What a name van Loving. If
Speaker 1: this guy doesn't own in nineteen ninety two for the
Speaker 1: Econo line, I would be disappointed. Okay, at least in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven plumber Voyage and maybe a Volkwagen Earl Van.
Speaker 1: Maybe moral of the story is he should drive nothing
Speaker 1: but vans. When your last name is van Loving, you
Speaker 1: only have one vehicle of choice, and the license plate
Speaker 1: of that vehicle has to say Van Loving Sneakers too. Okay,
Speaker 1: when your last name is van Loving, you can only
Speaker 1: wear vans, the old school black and white ones with
Speaker 1: the jash crape. Now, some would say that if you
Speaker 1: drive a van and wear vans, that's the child sex
Speaker 1: offenders start a kid. I'm just saying, if you profile pedophiles,
Speaker 1: this kind of fits the description. But maybe I'm making
Speaker 1: all this up. This is probably a personal bias that
Speaker 1: I'm projecting, so never mind me. But back to mister
Speaker 1: van Loving Now, mister van Lovin is a home inspector
Speaker 1: and he was inspecting the home of a twenty two
Speaker 1: year old woman in Oxford Township. He was inspecting the
Speaker 1: property before a sale. Well, something in that house turned
Speaker 1: Kevin van Loving on. I don't know what type of
Speaker 1: afro dgiak he used before he inspected that house. Maybe
Speaker 1: he ate some chocolate, maybe some figs, some oysters, asparagus.
Speaker 1: Maybe something increased his lopido, his sexual function. Something got
Speaker 1: him so hot and bothered in that house that he
Speaker 1: had the pleasure himself right then and there. Let's go
Speaker 1: to WJBK Fox to Detroit for the report. Police before
Speaker 1: selling an Oxford Township couple let this man into their
Speaker 1: home on Gill Street for a routine inspection. They left,
Speaker 1: never suspecting the fifty nine year old man would allegedly
Speaker 1: fulfill his sexual urges with their child's Elmo Doll. Deserving
Speaker 1: sexual act revealed when movement in the child's room triggered
Speaker 1: the nursery camera. The image shows when Kevin van Leuven
Speaker 1: picked up the tickle me Elmo doll. The homeowner shocked
Speaker 1: when she was alerted on her cell phone after hitting record.
Speaker 1: She immediately contacted the Oakland County Sheriff's office. Our deputies
Speaker 1: confronted him, and initially he denied it, and then they
Speaker 1: told him it was on video, and then he apologized.
Speaker 1: He's been charged with aggravated indecent exposure and a misdemeanor
Speaker 1: charge of malicious destruction of property. But perhaps what's even
Speaker 1: more disgusting After abusing the doll, Van Leuven put it back.
Speaker 1: I never thought I would find someone who loves elmore
Speaker 1: more than Rashawn Casey aka dj Envy. I have so
Speaker 1: many questions. I know people say we shouldn't can't shame,
Speaker 1: We shouldn't shame people for what they are into sexually,
Speaker 1: but that's ps Okay, that's some twenty twenty one. I've
Speaker 1: been woke too long, and I need some sleep because
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking straight when I'm sleepy. Rhetoric, Okay, If
Speaker 1: I can't shame Kevin van Loving for this in the
Speaker 1: word shame needs to be abolished all together. Now? Can
Speaker 1: I try to understand Kevin van Lovin? Sure, let's unpack this.
Speaker 1: How many times has Kevin Wayne van Lovin sat his
Speaker 1: ass in front of the TV and masturbated this? Sesson
Speaker 1: me screed. I wonder I also wonder if he sat
Speaker 1: down with a therapist or psychiatrist, could he or she
Speaker 1: bring this back to something that happened in his childhood.
Speaker 1: I mean it's Almo as then tickle me Elmo? Right?
Speaker 1: And tickling equals flirting. I read somewhere, and by somewhere,
Speaker 1: I mean google that from adolescent saw and you're roughly
Speaker 1: seven times more likely to be tickled by somebody at
Speaker 1: the opposite sex. And the most common reason to tickle
Speaker 1: is to show affection. So maybe when he was a baby,
Speaker 1: as a young lad, he got tickled a lot and
Speaker 1: the thought of tickling turns him on. I don't know, Okay,
Speaker 1: So when you're a creature, that is the symbol of tickling,
Speaker 1: maybe when you see that you get turned on. When
Speaker 1: you see that, that that symbol of tickling, that is Elmo.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't like tickling, but tickling is
Speaker 1: a physical expression to love. So maybe just maybe he
Speaker 1: saw Elmo and he wanted to show his love. Some
Speaker 1: people do tickle fights is for play people's stage, tickle
Speaker 1: fights in the bedroom. Nothing I'm saying makes sense, does it?
Speaker 1: Of course not? Okay, God may not make mistakes put
Speaker 1: humans do. But I hear stories like Kevin van Loven
Speaker 1: and I know they say, don't question God, but sometimes
Speaker 1: you have to recognize that God didn't give you the
Speaker 1: same brains he gave everybody else. Okay, there was certain
Speaker 1: periods in time that God was just creating anybody in anything,
Speaker 1: all right. Genesis one twenty six says God created man
Speaker 1: in his image according his likeness. Right, well, humans, sometimes
Speaker 1: we just like to try things, gets the water to
Speaker 1: see what sticks. I think God did that when he
Speaker 1: was creating some humans. Some humans he just created with
Speaker 1: his eyes closed. Kevin van Loving might have been one
Speaker 1: of him. Okay, God made him and forgot about him.
Speaker 1: So then mister van Loving all these years has been
Speaker 1: left to his own devices, wandering around life aimlessly by himself,
Speaker 1: without God's guidance, only to end up on Chestermee Street
Speaker 1: masturbating next to Oscar Grounds trash can while Elmo just
Speaker 1: minding his business performing Elmo song hit that tune for
Speaker 1: Me dramas Come on now, m Kevin van Loving is
Speaker 1: somewhere hot and parting right now, that's what does it
Speaker 1: for Kevin van Loving chat. Okay, enough enough enough, okay,
Speaker 1: Kevin van Loving is reinforcing all the pedophile stereotypes. I
Speaker 1: told you driving a van and wearing vans is the
Speaker 1: sexist fend to start a kid. You know how many
Speaker 1: people Chris Hansen caught who fit that profile. And this guy,
Speaker 1: Kevin van Loving. Okay, you got caught sexually assaulting an
Speaker 1: Elmo doll in a nursery. That sounds pretty peet old
Speaker 1: file to me. Okay, Elmo is three and a half
Speaker 1: years old. Do you know that three and a half
Speaker 1: years old? You sick bathter. This is what Kevin van
Speaker 1: Loving here is when drunken love plays a swerving on
Speaker 1: a swervin swerving on a Let really give Kevin van
Speaker 1: Loving the biggest he hall he ha he ha, you
Speaker 1: stupid mother? Are you dumb? Do it? Envy? Oh? You
Speaker 1: don't want to do the voice today? Huh? You wanna
Speaker 1: play Elmo to day? Do you? I was gonna say, well,
Speaker 1: I'm just curious he won't play a game. You want
Speaker 1: to play a game only if you do the voice?
Speaker 1: Ask me in the voice you are a black Yes,
Speaker 1: I do kiss What Kevin van Loving, Michigan home inspector

Speaker 1: don't know. This is what I wanted to be. Okay,
Speaker 1: uh Rashaan, I want you to do. I need you
Speaker 1: to answer in the voice the whole time. Okay, Kevin
Speaker 1: van Loving, Yes from Michigan home inspector. You're very familiar
Speaker 1: with home inspectors. Right, he was in a home inspecting
Speaker 1: he was in a nursery, saw Elmo doll, had his
Speaker 1: way with the Elmo doll sexually. Jess what race he is?
Speaker 1: Let me chuck? The hell did you bend over like that?
Speaker 1: For the hell? Were you checking? Look like you wanted
Speaker 1: somebody to check you. Hell's wrong with you? I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. You both are right. This is absolutely
Speaker 1: a colonizer. Okay, this is the highest levels of caucasianary. Okay.
Speaker 1: The man he is just very heavy in this story.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: You gotta register the sex offender when you do stuff
Speaker 1: like this. If you're Kevin van Loven, I'm sure that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that guy asked, well, so I don't think so.
Speaker 1: All Right, we got more coming up next. We're a
Speaker 1: breakfast club, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1: What does that name? Me? Well, okay, let me let's
Speaker 1: give us the backstory. So um, you know, obviously we've
Speaker 1: been on the show for Weird about to drop season
Speaker 1: six who could believe it? And the trailer and six
Speaker 1: the trailer Okay, we're gonna talk about that too. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I think I was up here. Season one, season two,
Speaker 1: Vy was throwing shade like, you know, y'all Potomac house
Speaker 1: while I was a broke you know, is insane. Why
Speaker 1: would you say that for them? Something along those lines. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we are have season. We're not your typical households that
Speaker 1: people were used to, and I officially was the broke one.
Speaker 1: I'm not broke no more. So you was talking about me.
Speaker 1: All typical housewid usually amorous or like dad, they're not glad. Wow,
Speaker 1: every visibly say right now, okay, but we're gonna move
Speaker 1: forward anyway, So five times system, we're good. So we
Speaker 1: all we all season six, thanks, thank you Jesus were here.
Speaker 1: We didn't make gratulations. Um and during the pandemic, you know,
Speaker 1: we like everybody else home doing nothing around. Now we're
Speaker 1: just like, oh, let's just he now get on Instagram
Speaker 1: live and talk to the people. So after we did that,
Speaker 1: everybody gave feedback like, hey, we love just like being
Speaker 1: the third person in y'all's like girlfriend gotsap, So y'all
Speaker 1: should start to wat podcast and long behold we're here
Speaker 1: black Yeah, yes, and we're think you reasonably shady because
Speaker 1: on the show, I am the reasonable one. Yes, she's
Speaker 1: the shady one. I'm the one. I try to see
Speaker 1: the good. I try to see every side to the story.
Speaker 1: She just goes for the shade. So yes, and we
Speaker 1: and we're we're best friends. And it's very rare you
Speaker 1: see people on TV who are literally best friends. And
Speaker 1: but it's but it's cool that you get to learn
Speaker 1: or hear about us outside of the show. Yes, because
Speaker 1: on the show we got to kind of stick to
Speaker 1: the It's good. Yeah, it's good that you guys are
Speaker 1: still best friends, because sometimes these shows really can before
Speaker 1: the show before I mean, we're very very close before
Speaker 1: the show. Um, and I think Angela, that is why
Speaker 1: we're still friends because we had a friendship before the show.
Speaker 1: And even season one, season two when they work, when
Speaker 1: there were things that could have been drive us apart,
Speaker 1: I was just like, hell no, Like this is my girl.
Speaker 1: If she's wrong, I'm arrived with her wrong. So what
Speaker 1: do you think when you see poor show alleged I'm
Speaker 1: sure you're spoke about it on your podcast when she's
Speaker 1: engaged to her ex alleged friends husband. What did y'all
Speaker 1: think about it? I just wish they would have waited
Speaker 1: a little more time just to like release that, you know, whatever,
Speaker 1: things happened, so I wasn't really here for it. It
Speaker 1: definitely looks very shady. I think they should have kept
Speaker 1: a little secret for a little bit more. Know what
Speaker 1: about you to shady one? Well, actually, in this instance,
Speaker 1: I'm not shady, So you know apportion, I have another
Speaker 1: show together called chat Room on Bravo, and it just
Speaker 1: so happened, like we filmed Thursday and she said they
Speaker 1: got engaged that night, and she was like, oh, justell,
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you, but I found out like
Speaker 1: the rest of the world on via the Instagram. But
Speaker 1: it is hard to find love or lust or whatever
Speaker 1: you're looking for out here in these streets. It's hard
Speaker 1: to find it. So if she found it, I'm happy
Speaker 1: for her. And what if they weren't real friends, What
Speaker 1: if they were just friends for the show. There's that,
Speaker 1: but still you don't want to see if if found
Speaker 1: was still gonna be a part of the of the show.
Speaker 1: You don't want to see your ex husband. Also then
Speaker 1: there on the show with somebody else's actually a real husband,
Speaker 1: Like that's not play play. Yeah, after she invited her
Speaker 1: into the house and all that others the great storyline,
Speaker 1: but what TV you know, I mean, we don't know
Speaker 1: if they were really friends and the TV set it
Speaker 1: up and they really didn't know each other, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Right right, Yeah, I don't think they
Speaker 1: were friends like that. All right, Now, I saw some
Speaker 1: requestions all about you unfollowing Wendy from Real Houseves Epotomic.
Speaker 1: Right I did. I'm I'm sorry, I don't remember. Really
Speaker 1: is one of our newer ladies. She, um, how could
Speaker 1: we describe? So she's why I unfollowed her because she's
Speaker 1: just not that interesting, like scrawling through. I was like,
Speaker 1: just don't look interesting, So I just unfollowed. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it looks like that from the trailer. Something does happen
Speaker 1: between YouTube just yes, and and and I. We're gonna
Speaker 1: let that play out because there's a lot of Um,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that she thought I did
Speaker 1: which I did not do. And the reason why she
Speaker 1: thought I did it is because typically I do do
Speaker 1: very shady things and I own it, right, and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, I'm I'm just I'm just here to like
Speaker 1: let everybody live in the truth, so let's just talk
Speaker 1: about it. So, but I didn't come at it from
Speaker 1: a shady perspective. I was really like it was out
Speaker 1: of concern, like what's going on in your life? Are
Speaker 1: you able to handle social media? Are you able to
Speaker 1: handle just like everything that had that goes on and
Speaker 1: goes along with being on a reality television stage, Like
Speaker 1: it's it's not for the faint of heart. It's very difficult.
Speaker 1: You really have to have tough skin. And that was
Speaker 1: that was the where I was coming from, and she
Speaker 1: didn't believe it. Yeah, you know that's a tough one
Speaker 1: for both of you, right, dealing with relationships so publicly
Speaker 1: it is it is, and I mean, I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: my first three seasons on the show, my relationship got
Speaker 1: a lot of attention, and you know I responded kind
Speaker 1: of not happy about it. But after a while, you're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, this is part of this is what
Speaker 1: I signed up for. This is what I continue just
Speaker 1: line up for. This is what comes with the with
Speaker 1: the territory, And unfortunately we got to live with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: rather than you have such an interesting situation with your
Speaker 1: you guys, did you get married and get engaged? Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're not married again yet, so she's lives with
Speaker 1: her ex husband. They got engaged again, so you guys
Speaker 1: who would get married on this new season. No, not
Speaker 1: this season. I respect the pandemic and so I was
Speaker 1: not trying to have a COVID wedding. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to have to adjust my plans and have people wear
Speaker 1: a mask. So we're gonna wait. It's fine, We're not
Speaker 1: in a rush. That's interesting, but y'all still live with
Speaker 1: each other, right, and then y'all made it work again.
Speaker 1: So right, got y'all back to So we okay, So
Speaker 1: we okay. So my ex husband is a former NBA
Speaker 1: player Wan Dixon. So we were together since nineteen ninety six. Wow,
Speaker 1: we went to college together. Um, we got married in
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, we got divorced in two thousand
Speaker 1: and twelve. We were still very much connected because we
Speaker 1: have two children. Of course, Um, we each went through
Speaker 1: bank see foreclosure like all that type of stuff, and
Speaker 1: so when we were going through that, we kind of
Speaker 1: had to come together to support one another to get
Speaker 1: through those hard financial times. And then so he had
Speaker 1: to move back home. Then when he moved back home,
Speaker 1: he had to go back to school to finish his
Speaker 1: degree so that he can start his coach his coaching career.
Speaker 1: So we pretty much supported one another through our darkest days.
Speaker 1: And you know when you do that, you just kind
Speaker 1: of like realize what's more important. You put the kids first,
Speaker 1: we put each other first, and now we back together.
Speaker 1: And then he put a ring on it, and then
Speaker 1: I want to keep my boo and y'are not the
Speaker 1: same people, so y'all probably had to grow in love
Speaker 1: with who y'all are now. Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1: people that I was holding the mic, yeah, they don't.
Speaker 1: So you know, he gave his opinion, which is this
Speaker 1: isn't the person that I think is best for my
Speaker 1: daughter period. He doesn't want them to hurt you again exactly.
Speaker 1: And your dad's so passionate about that. Do you still say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm still gonna give this guy a
Speaker 1: chance because your dad is your passionate, your hero, right
Speaker 1: and when that's raised you the one that's always had
Speaker 1: your back. Yes, he sees things that you don't. You
Speaker 1: still say, Dad, I'm I gotta figure this out on
Speaker 1: my own, or do you say I'm gonna listen to
Speaker 1: my dad. Um, I always say I'm gonna do me right,
Speaker 1: and my Dad's gonna respect me whichever way I go.
Speaker 1: No one can tell you what to do. Ever, when
Speaker 1: it comes to relationships, you know you're gonna do what
Speaker 1: you want to do, even if it doesn't seem practical.
Speaker 1: But when but but Envy to answer your question when
Speaker 1: he when he found out that, you know, we were
Speaker 1: gonna go our separate ways currently, he just was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's where you should be right now.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Dad, I respect that, I respect how
Speaker 1: you feel either way. Um, and my mom the same way.
Speaker 1: Like you know, I my parents have shown me the
Speaker 1: ultimate love, like no matter what I do, and I
Speaker 1: know they don't like it, but they still stand by
Speaker 1: my side, you know what I mean for me, that's
Speaker 1: like the ultimate love. Now there's also a cast met Um,
Speaker 1: I'm sure Charlotman will be interested in this. Yeah, one
Speaker 1: of the cast mats husband. Yeah, allegedly grab a man's ass. Now,
Speaker 1: Charlotte kny would be interested. Why exactly? That's what I
Speaker 1: was like, I have a great question yourself. That's why
Speaker 1: you have a podcast. Yeah. So they really her husband
Speaker 1: really grab a guy's ass. Okay, have we seen him
Speaker 1: do that? Yes? Do we have videotape of that happening. Yes, Now,
Speaker 1: this particular person that you were referring to that it
Speaker 1: went to courts, we did not. I did not see
Speaker 1: that it was a charge. There was a charge. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: it could have charged that dude that your ass in
Speaker 1: the building. I definitely didn't charge. Yeah, it wasn't in
Speaker 1: the build. I've sew it makes it. It wasn't in
Speaker 1: the bild DJ and a party. I killed it on
Speaker 1: the way I was walking out. He slapped me on
Speaker 1: my ass. A good job. But was it a grab
Speaker 1: or slash? These were grabs? These were like I'm getting
Speaker 1: the meat. And you can hear a little something on
Speaker 1: the mic too, as I would call. So what did
Speaker 1: she say as being his wife? You know he's Australian,
Speaker 1: he's different, he does different and different under he's down
Speaker 1: under done? No wait a minute, what is that down?
Speaker 1: So two? Different to the babe. Okay, anyway, so you
Speaker 1: know he's a playful guy and I actually happened to
Speaker 1: like Michael right he did he know the guy he
Speaker 1: was playing with. It's a game a guy. No, okay,
Speaker 1: these are two separate instances another one, so they're okay.
Speaker 1: So on the right. Season one, on the show, we
Speaker 1: peaked him do that to a castmate's boyfriend, right, um
Speaker 1: apparently and a producer and he did it. And he
Speaker 1: did it to a produce sir, same party season one.
Speaker 1: So then season four, while we were filming, a cameraman
Speaker 1: who was very straight. Yes, a cameraman charged him, Um,
Speaker 1: file charges because they said he said he grabbed his
Speaker 1: butt while they were filming. Yeah. Now we don't have
Speaker 1: that on camera because the man was holding the camera
Speaker 1: and I wasn't there. I didn't see it, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he says it didn't happen. I mean, of course,
Speaker 1: like you know, you don't want to get catch a charge, right,
Speaker 1: he says it didn't happen. Um, but because of the
Speaker 1: track record, yeah, we were too soon. But I have
Speaker 1: good news in season this is season six, there was
Speaker 1: no but squeezing Butez people has you know, I'm surprised
Speaker 1: they would let you stay on the show when you
Speaker 1: if like that happens, because that is kind of like
Speaker 1: that is crazy, Sez a woman's but I mean, like, well, okay,
Speaker 1: so he brushed it off his play for in season one, right,
Speaker 1: and no one was ada And if Eric wasn't offended, yeah,
Speaker 1: cameraman was offended. You can't just play like that. I
Speaker 1: gotta know what game we played. Everybody got to be
Speaker 1: You can't just go around squeezing things. This is true.
Speaker 1: But but again I think that he learned from you know,
Speaker 1: the court case, and he kept his hands to himself.
Speaker 1: He learned his lesson. Yes, he kept his hands, which
Speaker 1: I'm very happy to know. All Right, we got more
Speaker 1: when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still
Speaker 1: kicking it with Gizelle Bryant and Robin Dixon from Housewives
Speaker 1: of Potomac Yee. Now, I also saw in the trailer
Speaker 1: because you know, first of all, you know I love
Speaker 1: the real houseves at Potomac. Guy definitely watched the shower.
Speaker 1: So you you've been with us, yes, after they have,
Speaker 1: so I see that at one point you were depressed
Speaker 1: and couldn't get out of the bed. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the pandemic just like totally changed my life, like not
Speaker 1: like for the worst, you know, it just I just
Speaker 1: got into a rut um and it was crazy because
Speaker 1: I have a I have a booming hat business. Like
Speaker 1: where I was, I'm literally I sell out every week
Speaker 1: when I get shipments and stuff, and so it was
Speaker 1: just mind boggling to me that I have this booming business.
Speaker 1: I have so much room for opportunity and growth, and
Speaker 1: I literally just want to stay in the bid. So
Speaker 1: it was something that I kind of had to work through. Um.
Speaker 1: As you see, Juan doesn't really like it, um and
Speaker 1: we kind of had to work through how he speaks
Speaker 1: to me when I'm going through something that a lot
Speaker 1: of people frankly are going through. This pandemic has been real. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that definitely is well we'll see that. Um.
Speaker 1: I just I had to, you know, go see a
Speaker 1: life coach. I had to just you know, really just
Speaker 1: take steps to just make things happen, like you just.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even really call it a depression though, because
Speaker 1: I think it was more. I read an article they
Speaker 1: called its language in the pandemic. So it's like you
Speaker 1: just get to a point where it's just your life,
Speaker 1: like just life is just not normal anymore. And my
Speaker 1: normal became like, well and nothing to do today, so
Speaker 1: let me stay in the bed like I would literally
Speaker 1: wake my kids up for school, you know, get on
Speaker 1: the computer, and go back to bed. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I just had to just make a list. I had
Speaker 1: to knock things out. I just had to kind of
Speaker 1: just try to. And then she had a friend that
Speaker 1: was like, girl, you gotta get out of bed now.
Speaker 1: So you'll see on this season reasonably Shady and kind
Speaker 1: of how we started with doing our artwork for everything,
Speaker 1: I mean, doing doing our photoshoot for the artwork, telling
Speaker 1: all the other ladies about reasonably be shady. Robin's get
Speaker 1: the hell out of me, because she wasn't at times motivated,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, we gotta we have a deal with
Speaker 1: this black effect, and we have a podcast, and we
Speaker 1: gotta get these done. We have a lot of work
Speaker 1: to do. And you know, she, Robin has so much
Speaker 1: to be grateful for, and I'm just like, you know,
Speaker 1: I attributed her not being grateful for everything that God
Speaker 1: has given her to her being in the bed, which
Speaker 1: is not Those do not connect, right, So you know
Speaker 1: I had to kind of learn that. Um, but you know,
Speaker 1: she snapped out of it and and we're good to god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's good. I mean for anyone in a situation
Speaker 1: like that, it's good to have people who hold you accountable.
Speaker 1: So I have Gizell to hold me accountable because she's
Speaker 1: a virgo. She's very like you know, on time, get
Speaker 1: it done, doesn't procrastinate. I will give you a little
Speaker 1: spoiler teaser for the for the show, which I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna get in trouble for. But we have a reasonably
Speaker 1: shady party, Robin and I do. And it is so
Speaker 1: shady reasonable and it is a mess and it's amazing.
Speaker 1: How are you in Karen now? Karen today? We are
Speaker 1: good today. Karen is older she um. I mean that's
Speaker 1: gonna help. That's how you should know her. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: um she Normally she and I kind of go at
Speaker 1: it and we and we do. You will see that.
Speaker 1: But like today, we're good. But you'll you'll see a
Speaker 1: lot of growth with our relationship. All y'all allowed to
Speaker 1: talk about like what happens on the show on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Will it be like recaps or something? No? Yes, but
Speaker 1: I feel like charmygne. That's a great thing because there's
Speaker 1: so many things that we don't show on the show, right,
Speaker 1: So people are able to see other aspects of our lives,
Speaker 1: other aspects about what we how we think and how
Speaker 1: we feel about certain things. Um, you know, I have
Speaker 1: known Robin forever and I didn't know, Like our first
Speaker 1: episode dropped yesterday, and there's so much that was like
Speaker 1: told from Robin to me in that that I was
Speaker 1: like shocked. Like we talked about kind of like our
Speaker 1: backstory when we were teenagers. I didn't know Robin wasn't
Speaker 1: juvenile delinquent. She used to do crazy things. She used
Speaker 1: to pour soda cans and mailboxes and just dump stuff
Speaker 1: that be careful, Robin, they can't you for you. But
Speaker 1: to find that out that she was doing all of
Speaker 1: that while I've known her forever and I had no idea,
Speaker 1: was like nice, Like that's it's just nice that the
Speaker 1: viewers are going to be able to listeners are gonna
Speaker 1: be able to like see and hear other aspects of
Speaker 1: our lives. What do you think about the last season
Speaker 1: because people were saying that it was like one of
Speaker 1: the best seasons for Housewives, but it was a lot
Speaker 1: of drama. Yeah, it turned ugly for no reason, and um,
Speaker 1: it was unfortunate because I feel like it was there
Speaker 1: was a lot of like manipulation on social media that
Speaker 1: took place that really affected the show more so than
Speaker 1: any other show. So it's like you had the show
Speaker 1: and then you had social media. I think it was toxic.
Speaker 1: I think that there's no reason for us black women
Speaker 1: to be fighting physical fighting violence on TV. I think
Speaker 1: if you want to fight somebody, fine take her outside
Speaker 1: when when cameras are down. Um, and I just it
Speaker 1: was that was hard to live through. I forgot about that,
Speaker 1: but ahead, Yeah, that was hard to live through from
Speaker 1: a show's perspective because it wasn't just a fight between
Speaker 1: those two people want her off the show after she
Speaker 1: pulled her head, Like was it too much physical because
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen shows and sometimes you throw a drink.
Speaker 1: You know this it was way worse than all of that. No,
Speaker 1: you know, my issue was not you know, I think
Speaker 1: sometimes people lose their cool. Like I'm see I'm being
Speaker 1: reasonable here, right, So people lose their cool, Um, you
Speaker 1: make mistakes. If we could have moved forward from it,
Speaker 1: like the next day and people took ownership of what
Speaker 1: happened and not lie and run the social media and
Speaker 1: tell a wrong story and then you know, have people
Speaker 1: being bullied on social media. That's where it got ugly
Speaker 1: for me. But if if the incident happened and then
Speaker 1: the next day people apologize and move forward, cool, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but she don't. But but as far as the show
Speaker 1: is because because of that, we don't know. We don't
Speaker 1: hire don't because she pulled the girl. I mean from
Speaker 1: what I know, she left on her own. Um, but
Speaker 1: no one speaks to her now, like no one spoking
Speaker 1: to her. I don't, but less Karen does. I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always feel like, let's do whatever's best for the show, right,
Speaker 1: And you know people always ask me, well, did you
Speaker 1: want her gone? No? I just want what's best for
Speaker 1: the show, whatever that means. You know, if if her
Speaker 1: being around it's best for the show, cool, her being
Speaker 1: gone is best, then that's cool too. But she gone, y'all?
Speaker 1: She gone? Right? And one thing, I will never try
Speaker 1: to stop someone's bag ever. So I will never try
Speaker 1: to get someone fired or say they don't need to
Speaker 1: be here. That's not that's not my job. No, But right,
Speaker 1: what's best for the show? Can we all co exist?
Speaker 1: Can we make a good show and everyone co exists. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the show, the show has been beneficial to you both.
Speaker 1: It sounds like yeah and today yet out right now
