I had so many events planned and scheduled because it was homecoming. 00:01:57 Speaker 3: That I couldn't make it at all. 00:01:58 Speaker 11: So. 00:02:00 Speaker 3: I got to go to Charlotte in a couple of weeks.

My schedule won't be as hectic. 00:02:03 Speaker 2: Damn, man. 00:02:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was looking forward to going. 00:02:06 Speaker 1: I wanted to hear a review from somebody I knew. I know a lot of people personally who have been there, but somebody who I see every day. 00:02:13 Speaker 3: I was very disappointed. 00:02:14 Speaker 10: I really, really, really wanted to go, and then I left Sunday morning early, so I couldn't even get it there. 00:02:19 Speaker 2: I had a great weekend.

Congratulations. 00:02:26 Speaker 3: Hush, it's just a regular season game. But thank you, I guess. You're welcome. My South Carolina Gamecocks loss. But you know what I did most importantly? What? My closet is clean. Drop one of those live bombs for me. 00:02:36 Speaker 1: Man, let me tell you something. There is nothing like having a clean, organized closet. I gave away 23 bags of clothes to those. 00:02:46 Speaker 4: Oh, that's what's up, yo. 00:02:47 Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. 00:02:48 Speaker 4: That's what's up. 00:02:48 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just years and years. I'm a hoarder, first of all. Okay, so this is years and years of just... stuff that. 00:02:55 Speaker 1: Was just thrown all over the place. And I finally got my closet organized. My closet is so clean. The kids come run through the closet. It feels so good. 00:03:04 Speaker 3: Did you give away the slides? What slides? 00:03:06 Speaker 4: The slides that you wear every day that people don't like. 00:03:08 Speaker 3: No, I got them on right now. Those are here in the studio. The closet is so clean. How many Timberlands did you give away? Oh, and I still got those. Those are the money. 00:03:18 Speaker 1: That's another project. That's a project for another day. That's a project for another day. That's a project for another day. 00:03:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I did. 00:03:23 Speaker 10: When my wife went on, when she went on that girl trip, I cleaned her closet, everything that she didn't wear. 00:03:28 Speaker 3: I just donated. 00:03:28 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:03:29 Speaker 3: Because she's a hoarder. 00:03:29 Speaker 6: Damn. 00:03:30 Speaker 3: She's just a hoarder. 00:03:31 Speaker 1: I don't feel like you should throw away Timbs and stuff like that, though. Those are nice shoes just to slip on when you walk outside. You know, that or some slides. 00:03:37 Speaker 3: But you got mad pairs. 00:03:38 Speaker 4: Slip on some boots to go outside. 00:03:40 Speaker 3: Especially in the wintertime. 00:03:41 Speaker 10: When we did that drive for Houston, right, and we were giving away clothes. It was some storm that happened, and we were just giving away clothes. Charlamagne came with, no lie, at least 10 pairs or maybe 15. 00:03:51 Speaker 3: Pairs of Timberlands. 00:03:52 Speaker 4: That's what's up. 00:03:53 Speaker 3: I like Timbs. I was like, Jesus Christ. I liked him before I moved to New York. I liked him. 00:03:57 Speaker 1: But I just gave away 23 bags of clothes and my closet is clean. I feel amazing. There's nothing like it. I don't know what it is, like getting rid of all that old energy. You know what I'm saying? It's just like out with the old and not even in with the new. You just make space for new things. 00:04:14 Speaker 3: It feels amazing. 00:04:14 Speaker 4: Like a new house sometimes when you clean up. 00:04:17 Speaker 1: Well, let's get the show cracking. And just so you know, I'm retiring as far as hookah. Hookah poppy, no longer. 00:04:23 Speaker 4: It's about time. 00:04:24 Speaker 3: You still smoking hookah, boy?

How y'all doing this morning? 00:06:38 Speaker 3: Tamisha Brown from Howard University. 00:06:42 Speaker 13: That's right. 00:06:43 Speaker 6: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. So this morning, we start this hour with President Trump on the campaign trail, facing growing pressure to address the cost of living with control of Congress on the line. So Trump, we talked about this a little last week. He's launched that 32-day campaign push ahead of the November 3rd midterm elections. Now, he was in Ohio Saturday telling voters the economy is booming and urging them to keep Republicans in control of Congress. 00:07:10 Speaker 13: Let's listen to a little bit of that. 00:07:12 Speaker 14: But it was just announced that under Republican leadership, incomes for hardworking Americans have soared to the highest level ever recorded. African-American poverty, Hispanic-American poverty, and Native American poverty rates are all at their lowest levels ever. 00:07:34 Speaker 3: Ever, ever, ever. 00:07:37 Speaker 1: It's over, gang. This man is still peeing on your head and telling you that it's raining. Imagine standing in front of a group of working class people telling them they're doing good when their pockets say otherwise. 00:07:47 Speaker 6: And I'm so glad you brought that up because, and just to fact check that the cost of living is not at record lows, but new polling shows the economy Trump is describing is not necessarily the economy that voters say that they are feeling. A new CBS poll finds 9 out of 10 voters say They judge it based upon the prices. Seven in 10 say Trump's policies on food and groceries have made the policies. 00:08:12 Speaker 13: Have made the groceries go up. 00:08:14 Speaker 6: And more voters are saying that he is not focused enough on keeping those costs down. 00:08:18 Speaker 1: I saw a poll that said 75 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's economic management and 65 percent blame his his policies. 00:08:29 Speaker 3: Yep. The AP poll, I think it was. 00:08:32 Speaker 13: The AP Newark poll. 00:08:33 Speaker 4: Yep. 00:08:34 Speaker 13: Right on target with that. 00:08:36 Speaker 6: And this morning, Trump is making a financial pitch to Americans. So more than 20 million seniors on original Medicare are getting a $ 90 payment this month to help with Part B premiums. And that money is hitting your account if you're a senior and you qualify on around October 8th. Recipients will also get an email or a letter from President Trump highlighting the work he's done on health care. 00:09:00 Speaker 13: But they're not the only ones getting money. 00:09:02 Speaker 6: The administration is also sending $ 500 Obamacare refunds to nearly 1 million people in 30 states. Now, those checks will come with a letter signed by Trump telling the people that his administration is returning money that belonged to them first. and highlighting his record on health care. And there's another check that we talked about before, about that $ 5, 000 check. 00:09:22 Speaker 13: To every U.S. 00:09:23 Speaker 9: Adult. 00:09:23 Speaker 6: Now, critics are saying that the government is trying to buy election, you know, buy your vote with this money. Here's Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona. 00:09:33 Speaker 13: Let's listen. 00:09:34 Speaker 9: So I think people should see this for what it is, especially this $ 5, 000 payment. If Republicans maintain control of the House and the Senate, I mean, this is just a payoff, and he's trying to buy votes. 00:09:49 Speaker 1: Imagine being in office almost two years, ruining the economy, but then lying to people, telling them that 30 days before an election, they're going to pay you $ 5, 000, and the economy is boom. All these lies when all you had to do since you've been in office is. 00:10:04 Speaker 3: The right thing. Right. 00:10:05 Speaker 1: You had an opportunity to correct all of these things, and you didn't. You didn't keep none of your promises about the economy. Hey, man, we know a decision to make come midterm elections. All right. 00:10:15 Speaker 13: Absolutely. 00:10:16 Speaker 6: And really quickly before we go, I know we midterm elections today is the last day to register to vote in 11 states. So Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. If you live in one of those states that you want to vote on November 3rd, you need to register by today. So just don't forget. Today is your last day in those states and check your state registrar office for your specific deadline. This hour of Front Page is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan. Injured, know your worth.

I got broke over this weekend. 00:11:37 Speaker 3: Oh, damn. 00:11:37 Speaker 11: I don't know how to move forward. I've been with this man for four years, two kids. 00:11:43 Speaker 3: Y'all got two kids together? 00:11:45 Speaker 16: Yeah, we got two kids together. 00:11:47 Speaker 12: Damn. 00:11:47 Speaker 3: Oh, he ain't break up with you. He just need a little breather. That's all. He just needed to go see his side chick. 00:11:51 Speaker 4: No, stop. 00:11:52 Speaker 17: Wow. 00:11:52 Speaker 4: What the hell? She already doing bad. 00:11:54 Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no. So what happened? Why'd y'all break up? Why'd he break up with you? 00:11:58 Speaker 16: We didn't walk up for a minute now, but. 00:12:01 Speaker 11: We was disagreeing over discipline our two-year-old son. Like, I'm in the bathroom dying from. 00:12:07 Speaker 16: Cramps, and he want to... Our son woke up crying because I got out of bed. 00:12:12 Speaker 11: And he think it's time to give out whoopings 3 o'clock in the morning and I'm dying from cramps. 00:12:17 Speaker 16: So I'm just telling him to relax. How old is the baby? He's 2. 00:12:22 Speaker 1: He's whipping his kids at 2. 00:12:26 Speaker 11: He don't never whoop him, but he just put on that stern voice. Saying he can get them to calm down, but it's 3 o'clock. 00:12:32 Speaker 16: In the morning. He's not going to calm down if you're being stern. 00:12:35 Speaker 11: You need to be comforting, nurturing. 00:12:37 Speaker 3: Can I make a suggestion? First of all, don't say the man is whipping kids. 00:12:40 Speaker 18: Yeah, damn. 00:12:41 Speaker 3: That's crazy. Just say he was yelling at the kids or something. You said whipping. 00:12:44 Speaker 18: Okay, yeah. 00:12:45 Speaker 3: We from an era where we knew a whipping's word. 00:12:47 Speaker 14: Yes. 00:12:47 Speaker 2: Correct. 00:12:48 Speaker 11: You right, you right. 00:12:49 Speaker 16: But, yeah, but it's 3 o'clock in the morning. Why is she trying to be stern to a 2-year-old? If you want him to... If the goal is to. 00:12:54 Speaker 11: Get him back to sleep, you need to be comforting him. And he feel like I disrespect him or I don't respect his parenting. 00:13:01 Speaker 16: He don't have no voice when it comes to our kids. 00:13:03 Speaker 3: Listen. 00:13:04 Speaker 4: Bro, I. 00:13:06 Speaker 11: put in 90% when it comes to the kids. You just go to work and take care of the house. So let me handle the kids and you handle whatever else. 00:13:13 Speaker 3: But she was not. 00:13:14 Speaker 4: I disagree with that. 00:13:15 Speaker 3: Did you hear the disrespect? 00:13:17 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. 00:13:17 Speaker 4: I do hear the disrespect. 00:13:19 Speaker 1: I handle 90% when he goes to work. 00:13:22 Speaker 3: And take care of the house. She said I handle 90% of the kids. I said of the kids. 00:13:24 Speaker 4: She don't understand how kids. 00:13:30 Speaker 3: She says she does 90% of the kids. 00:13:31 Speaker 1: Them kids ain't got no place to stay if daddy don't go to work. 00:13:34 Speaker 3: She didn't say she didn't respect that. The problem is she. 00:13:37 Speaker 10: Says she handles 90% of the kids. He said he handles the house and the bills. Now the thing I don't. 00:13:43 Speaker 3: Like is 90% of the kids is going to work. 00:13:46 Speaker 1: She is not doing that. 00:13:54 Speaker 3: She is not doing that. She says she takes care of the kids. She feeds them. You can't take care of the kids without daddy going to work. 00:14:00 Speaker 19: Don't doubt that at all. 00:14:03 Speaker 3: I work too. 00:14:04 Speaker 16: I go to work and I help your kids. 00:14:07 Speaker 3: Oh, you say you go to work too? 00:14:09 Speaker 11: Yes, I'm at work right now. 00:14:10 Speaker 2: Good, good, good. 00:14:11 Speaker 4: I'm at work right now. 00:14:12 Speaker 3: She said she handled the kids. Just don't downplay the role of the man in the house. She didn't downplay the role. She said I handle the kids. He handles everything else. 00:14:19 Speaker 18: I'm like, she want her just due. 00:14:20 Speaker 3: Well, look, check this. 00:14:21 Speaker 4: Just get my book. 00:14:22 Speaker 3: Get my book. 00:14:23 Speaker 4: Because I had. 00:14:24 Speaker 5: I had some advice for you, but just get my book, yo, because I feel like you still can't take away how he disciplines the kids. You know, it is three o'clock in the morning. 00:14:31 Speaker 4: He got to get up to go to work. 00:14:32 Speaker 5: You in a bathroom with cramps dying and the two-year-old is getting up because you got out the bed. I mean, at some point, the goal has to be to get him to sleep by himself in his own bed. 00:14:42 Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like he breaking your husband's or your boyfriend's sleep or whatever. You know, you couldn't. You was out of commission at the time. 00:14:49 Speaker 3: Cramps are crazy. 00:14:51 Speaker 5: So you got to allow him to discipline in ways that he disciplined. You can't say he whooping if he ain't whooping. 00:14:56 Speaker 3: Your boy reminded him. 00:14:57 Speaker 11: Of the bottom of a nightmare. 00:14:58 Speaker 16: He threatened to whoop him. 00:14:59 Speaker 11: I just wanted him to relax. I wanted everybody to relax at that moment because I was going through it. You can't control the house, though. 00:15:06 Speaker 10: Yelling and screaming at a two-year-old when mom just left the bed. 00:15:09 Speaker 4: It's a two-year-old. I guarantee you she might be exaggerating, though. He probably wasn't yelling and screaming. He probably, she just don't like the way he. 00:15:15 Speaker 3: Was talking to the baby. I know she was exaggerating. He caught up here talking about he was whipping the kid. Yeah, exactly. 00:15:18 Speaker 11: He wanted to hand out whoopings. My exact words was he. 00:15:24 Speaker 16: Talked about he wanted to hand out whoopings to a two-year-old. 00:15:27 Speaker 11: Three o'clock in the morning. 00:15:28 Speaker 4: Okay, he talked about it. 00:15:29 Speaker 3: All right, cool. 00:15:30 Speaker 4: That may be his way of like, yo, look, get yourself together. 00:15:33 Speaker 3: Chill out. Your mother in the bathroom. 00:15:35 Speaker 13: Relax. 00:15:35 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to scare you back. 00:15:37 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? 00:15:38 Speaker 3: I'm trying to scare you back to sleep. 00:15:40 Speaker 19: But a two-year-old. 00:15:40 Speaker 11: Okay, so at the end of the day, I'm wrong for not backing him up, basically. 00:15:47 Speaker 16: I don't think you're wrong. 00:15:48 Speaker 13: Just compromise. 00:15:48 Speaker 11: I mean, you know what I mean? 00:15:49 Speaker 3: Just a little bit. I don't think you're wrong. I think I need to have a conversation. I don't think you're wrong. 00:15:53 Speaker 10: But a two-year-old, mom just got out the bed. I'm sleeping next to mom. I'm crying because I'm with my mom, but when I'm scared. She might baby the kids, though. Like, she might baby him. You know, a lot of that, this is a common issue between them. 00:16:04 Speaker 11: I do baby him. That's my only fun. 00:16:05 Speaker 18: All right. 00:16:06 Speaker 3: Now, you admit it. That's great. 00:16:08 Speaker 4: Accountability. You baby him. He's, you know what I'm saying? 00:16:10 Speaker 8: Like. 00:16:11 Speaker 4: That's mommy. You know, you're the nurturer. 00:16:13 Speaker 3: You over-nurture. 00:16:14 Speaker 4: I get it. Dad, that's so, you know, not so much. He's the dad. 00:16:18 Speaker 5: So he's like, yo, relax. You don't need to cry 3 o'clock in the morning because your mother got off the bed. 00:16:21 Speaker 4: Relax. That's just what that is. 00:16:23 Speaker 11: Two-year-old? 00:16:24 Speaker 3: Yes, two. Two. 00:16:26 Speaker 4: Charlamagne, I love you. 00:16:27 Speaker 16: And keep your smiles. 00:16:29 Speaker 4: Vote them. 00:16:30 Speaker 18: Keep your slides. 00:16:31 Speaker 2: I love you more. 00:16:32 Speaker 3: Hey, shut up. 00:16:33 Speaker 16: Y'all have a good day. 00:16:34 Speaker 13: I got to go back to work. 00:16:35 Speaker 3: All right, go back to work. Get some light on, man. Yeah, don't do that. Nobody should downplay each other's role in the house. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I don't think she did, though. Yeah, she did. She did, man. 00:16:45 Speaker 4: No, she said, I take care of the kids and he takes care. 00:16:48 Speaker 2: Of the house and the other bills. 00:16:49 Speaker 3: He said, I take care of the kids 90% of the time, which could be true. That's not true. 00:16:52 Speaker 10: He take care of his kids, too, Envy. No, she didn't say that he does not take care of the kids. He handles the kids 90%. 00:16:57 Speaker 3: Of the time. Don't put a number on it because it's half and half. Because guess what? 00:17:00 Speaker 1: You can't feed these kids without the food that I provide by taking my ass to work. 00:17:03 Speaker 4: And she works as well. 00:17:04 Speaker 2: She did say that. 00:17:06 Speaker 3: Even for my household, he takes care of the kids more than I do. 00:17:10 Speaker 10: She's the one that feeds them, takes them to the doctor, takes them to school, picks them up. 00:17:14 Speaker 3: She does more of the kids. 00:17:15 Speaker 4: But you're also very involved. 00:17:17 Speaker 3: I am very involved. 00:17:18 Speaker 1: And because of the work you put in, you're able to provide the health care, you're able to provide the food. 00:17:22 Speaker 3: That's a 50-50 partnership, brother. Well, parents can't be there. 00:17:24 Speaker 4: Equally at the same time because it wouldn't work. 00:17:26 Speaker 12: When it comes to. 00:17:27 Speaker 3: The kids, Gia is the one that deals with the kids. This is a joint venture, sir. She handles the majority of the kids. She knows the doctor's name. 00:17:33 Speaker 12: Do you know any doctor's names? 00:17:34 Speaker 18: Me neither. 00:17:35 Speaker 3: But I know the health care. I know the health insurance. This is a joint venture. This is a joint venture, but she handles the kids more than I do. 00:17:41 Speaker 4: That's it. 00:17:42 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's not a 50-50. 00:17:43 Speaker 4: Well, we can agree to disagree. 00:17:44 Speaker 3: I mean, I feel you. 00:17:45 Speaker 4: I got you. Well, get it off your chest.

Good morning. 00:20:28 Speaker 18: Are y'all ready to celebrate? 00:20:30 Speaker 3: What? 00:20:31 Speaker 2: Celebrate what? 00:20:31 Speaker 18: A Different World Season 2. 00:20:33 Speaker 15: Oh, absolutely. 00:20:33 Speaker 18: The season is officially renewed for Season 2. Congratulations. 00:20:37 Speaker 1: Dropping the foosball for Netflix for making the right goddamn decision. 00:20:40 Speaker 15: Hello? 00:20:41 Speaker 20: That was an easy call. They didn't make that. They would have missed that later. 00:20:44 Speaker 4: Shout out to Debbie Allen. That's what's up, y'all. 00:20:46 Speaker 20: Yes, that new generation of Hillman College students that arrived on campus this season are going to get a chance to come back in Season 2. So congratulations to them. 00:20:55 Speaker 3: It's such an easy show to continue to do. 00:20:58 Speaker 1: I was even thinking about that over the weekend when I saw the renewal. I'm just like, why did a show like that ever even go away? You could have just been new classes all the time. It's always a new class of students coming in to Hillman. 00:21:09 Speaker 18: The writing has to really be good, though. 00:21:11 Speaker 3: I can't even think why it ended. Like, I can't think of the reason why it ended. 00:21:14 Speaker 1: Oh, that's because it was causing too many black kids to want to attend HBCUs and just college in general and do something to themselves. So they had to get rid of that and put reality TV on. 00:21:24 Speaker 7: Gotcha. 00:21:24 Speaker 3: That's all. 00:21:25 Speaker 20: You know, the outlets say because of creative friction, but we know what that means. Yes, but congratulations to them and that cast. You know, we'll be looking out for season two as well. Now let's get into some more conversation about television and people making it because Chris Rock is back in the director's seat for Misty Green. Now, he's having a bunch of conversations. He sat down with The Times and it was a wide ranging conversation. He got into Bring the Pain and whether or not he believes that Bring the Pain is something he could do today. Let's take a listen to Chris Rock on Bring the Pain today. 00:21:59 Speaker 3: You said, you know, I don't know if I'd be able to make Bring the Pain today. 00:22:02 Speaker 12: Do you really think that's true? 00:22:03 Speaker 4: Because I look around at comedy and the culture. 00:22:05 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I'd be able to make it. 00:22:08 Speaker 3: It would be huge. 00:22:09 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, you know what? 00:22:10 Speaker 8: I'll go even further. Bring the Pain would be bigger today because you wouldn't be able to report on it. 00:22:15 Speaker 3: What do you mean? 00:22:16 Speaker 2: You wouldn't be able. 00:22:17 Speaker 8: To say it was great. The New York Times wouldn't be able to say it. It wouldn't be on Netflix. It would be like the Shane Gillis thing, which would actually elevate it. New York Times got a weird thing with comedies. Like, they ignore the nuance. You know, it's like, this is a manosphere conservative thing, or this is a really kind of wokey-woke thing. And all the people in the middle, they kind of ignore. Bring the pain because it would be actually less lauded would be bigger today. 00:22:48 Speaker 3: Because it would have some sort of taboo. 00:22:49 Speaker 8: Appeal to it. 00:22:50 Speaker 3: It would have a taboo to it. 00:22:52 Speaker 1: Don't ask me. I'm not the person to ask because I love Bring the Pain. So I think Bring the Pain can work in any era. I share N-Words versus black people all the time. 00:23:00 Speaker 3: You do. Right now, to this day. 00:23:02 Speaker 18: Yeah, that is like a Bible up here for you. 00:23:04 Speaker 2: Yes. 00:23:05 Speaker 20: But I think what he's talking about is the way people received it because according to what I learned in this interview and then when I. 00:23:10 Speaker 18: Went and looked it up, it won two Emmys in 97. 00:23:13 Speaker 13: It was like. 00:23:15 Speaker 20: Praise he's saying it would be big because people would be doing the opposite. 00:23:19 Speaker 3: Yeah it would be bad it'd be a lot of backlash. 00:23:21 Speaker 20: About it and that's why it would be big it wouldn't be like go chris like the way that it was back then it wouldn't be critically acclaimed exactly that's what he means by would it work but i think we would the people would definitely go watch it the numbers would be crazy but. 00:23:33 Speaker 3: And it would cause a lot of conversation it. 00:23:35 Speaker 10: Would 100 percent it's kind of like all type of social media clippings and taking things out of context but I like that they did his interview. 00:23:42 Speaker 4: We see that with Dave Chappelle, though, too. 00:23:44 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. 00:23:44 Speaker 1: Why do we act like that's not what art is? Art is subjective. That's why I always remember the rule of ten. Three people are going to like it. Three people are not going to like it. Four people don't even know what the hell is going on. Let people talk. Just put your stuff out and let people talk. 00:23:55 Speaker 18: I think for him and his career and where he's at, it's like, does he even feel like going through all that? 00:23:58 Speaker 12: Like, why? 00:23:59 Speaker 20: It's like, he doesn't need, he doesn't have to do that. He can tell stories through movies and stuff now. 00:24:03 Speaker 3: All you got to do is turn your phone off. 00:24:04 Speaker 1: But I just think it would move it would move faster like I feel now when comedians. 00:24:10 Speaker 3: Do specials it's like You like it for a day or two, maybe a week, and then it's gone. 00:24:14 Speaker 4: And then you want something else. 00:24:15 Speaker 3: Something like that. 00:24:15 Speaker 10: Back to the old, when the comedians did those specials back then, they still sit with us. 00:24:19 Speaker 3: I still remember Martin's special. I still remember all of Eddie's specials. I still remember Martin, I mean, Chris Rock. I remember all of them. 00:24:26 Speaker 18: Well, he also, in this interview, because it was very empathetic. 00:24:30 Speaker 4: I came here this morning. I was like, I didn't know he was filled with so much empathy. 00:24:33 Speaker 20: He talks about being a black man and how certain accusations and conversations stick with you. and how he regrets something he did not do for a friend because of this. Let's take a listen to Chris Rock on A Friend Who Went to Jail. 00:24:44 Speaker 8: When you're black, white people believe every accusation is a conviction. If you go on your phone and punch up Roger Logan, exonerated, a guy named Roger Logan, who I grew up with, he was one of my best friend's brothers, went to jail for 19 years for a murder he didn't commit. His brother used to plead with me to. 00:25:07 Speaker 2: Pay for a lawyer for Roger, and I never did it. 00:25:11 Speaker 8: I always had like a no lawyer thing. Because a lawyer is like. 00:25:14 Speaker 17: An open-ended thing. 00:25:16 Speaker 2: Like, I'll pay your mortgage. 00:25:17 Speaker 8: I'll put whatever. I always stay out of lawyers because it's so open-ended. It still f * * * ed with me. I was like, I had the means to help him, and I didn't. And I don't know if we could have got him out or not, but still. So all that to say is, I'm black. Black men get accused of shit they didn't do all the time. We let Black men out of jail who go, whoops, whoo, that Black guy just did 30 years, too bad. 00:25:44 Speaker 20: And they were having a conversation about, like, cancel culture and is that a real thing? And, like, you know, even, like, with, like, Ye and different people that... We see people have empathy for like what was his take on that? Now, Roger Logan, their most recent update on this case from back in 2015, 2016, New York City agreed to pay him three point seven five million dollars after he spent almost 17 years in prison before he was exonerated from a 97 fatal shooting. 00:26:10 Speaker 10: Now, I read that and also said that the state paid two point nine. Is it two different settlements or is that the same settlement that the numbers were? 00:26:17 Speaker 20: Yeah, I believe it was two different settlements because he said his lawyer also told the New York Times that he has also settled a case with the state. 00:26:22 Speaker 18: For $ 2. 00:26:23 Speaker 20: 9 million as well. 00:26:25 Speaker 3: It's interesting. 00:26:26 Speaker 1: I saw people very upset at those comments that he made, and I don't understand why that's pissing people off so bad. 00:26:31 Speaker 3: Because it's clipped. It's clipped, but that's also his money. 00:26:35 Speaker 8: Correct. 00:26:35 Speaker 1: And it's his discernment. And he said he regrets it. Why y'all mad at him? Because of his regret. 00:26:41 Speaker 2: Right. 00:26:41 Speaker 1: Because in the same conversation, he talked about paying people's mortgages. He talked about paying people's rent. He talked about paying people's education. He just said for him, he's always stayed away from paying people's lawyers. And he regrets that in that situation. 00:26:53 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:26:53 Speaker 3: Why does that piss y'all off? 00:26:55 Speaker 5: Because in the clip, it doesn't... When I watched it, the part where he said he feels bad, that wasn't in the clip. 00:27:02 Speaker 4: So that's why it's a bunch of people. 00:27:05 Speaker 3: upset. 00:27:05 Speaker 5: Now, I didn't comment because I know, I see it, especially since working up here. You have to go and watch the whole interview, whole conversation. But I don't like the blogs. Like, they do that to get people going. 00:27:15 Speaker 20: I was watching that interview and I was like, wow, the amount of empathy that I feel from this conversation. whoa because he also talked about people in his family who have dealt with like you know been on they they've pulled the trigger and went through some things and how it changed his mind about how he thinks about how the world just throws away people especially black men like yeah yeah go watch the full conversation he's. 00:27:36 Speaker 1: Saying he regrets it yes that's the funny part like he's saying i regret it like i regret not doing that. 00:27:41 Speaker 5: Yeah in the clip it didn't have it like that that's that's and that's unfortunate now everybody mad at him and all that and i know we could care less but i'm just saying That's why I don't like when blogs do that. 00:27:50 Speaker 4: They clip up these interviews. They make people look bad, and they get the people going. 00:27:54 Speaker 1: And you know you got a bunch of perfect people online. Y'all get everything right all the time. Y'all made every great decision ever in the history of life. 00:28:01 Speaker 17: I haven't. 00:28:02 Speaker 3: Now, I will say this. 00:28:03 Speaker 11: What? 00:28:03 Speaker 3: I don't know why he volunteered that information. That's it. Probably was sitting on him though. 00:28:07 Speaker 4: Probably was sitting on his heart. It feels like it is after that. Everybody mad. 00:28:13 Speaker 3: Probably was sitting on his heart and he just wanted to get it out. Oh, he probably just wanted to say that for the guy. Yeah, for the guy. Like, I want to let you know that, you know what, I should have done that. 00:28:21 Speaker 12: Absolutely. 00:28:22 Speaker 20: Well, that was the latest for the hour, guys. We'll be back in the next latest with another conversation that clips are, you know, circulating and getting the people going. 00:28:30 Speaker 3: Getting people going. 00:28:31 Speaker 8: All right. 00:28:31 Speaker 10: Now, when we come back, we got front page news and that was brought to you by LifeLock. They didn't bring the sheet for me to say the whole thing about LifeLock, but I know you got it. 00:28:38 Speaker 2: You've got it memorized. 00:28:39 Speaker 3: LifeLock is? 00:28:40 Speaker 20: LifeLock is for protecting your identity because your name matters and it counts. 00:28:46 Speaker 3: All right. 00:28:47 Speaker 18: It's the life you built. 00:28:48 Speaker 3: That's right.

Oh, yes, he is. Why do you get kinky all the time? You miss the ditty parties, boy. 00:29:53 Speaker 4: Come on, let me get to the damn news. 00:29:54 Speaker 3: I'm not going to his parties when he's out. 00:29:56 Speaker 2: All right. 00:29:56 Speaker 3: Vikings beat the Dolphins 15-10. 49ers beat the Broncos. Seahawks beat the Chargers. 00:30:01 Speaker 10: Chiefs beat the Raiders, Packers beat the Buccaneers, Ravens beat the Titans, Jaguars beat the Bengals, the Bears beat the Jets, all right? Now tonight in Monday Night Football, the Falcons take on the Saints at 8-15 and the Panthers beat the Lions last night. 00:30:15 Speaker 3: What's up, Mimi? 00:30:17 Speaker 13: Good morning, guys. 00:30:19 Speaker 6: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. So we start this hour in Georgia with some very sad news. It's where two people are dead and at least 25 others were shot at a massive homecoming weekend block party. More than a thousand people were packed into the streets of Vienna, Georgia. That's about 50 miles south of Macon when gunfire broke out early yesterday morning. Investigators say more than 50 shots were fired when a gunfire came from at least two different directions. 00:30:51 Speaker 13: They believe there were multiple shooters. 00:30:54 Speaker 6: And while 25 people were shot, investigators believe another 10 were injured just trying to get out the way during the chaos. This happened during Dooley County High School homecoming weekend. It was not an official school weekend event. And despite more than 1,000 people being there, there were no arrests. 00:31:13 Speaker 13: Now, the Dooley. 00:31:13 Speaker 6: County Sheriff, he held a press conference yesterday to update us on the victims. 00:31:18 Speaker 13: Let's listen. 00:31:19 Speaker 7: Thirty-five additional victims were transported to several regional hospitals for treatment. Victims ranged from 14 to 51 years old. Conditions of the victims at this time range critical to staple. 00:31:32 Speaker 3: I don't even know why we leave the house, man. 00:31:36 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. 00:31:37 Speaker 3: I would much rather stay in the house all day. 00:31:40 Speaker 6: It's crazy, crazy. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations is helping with the case. And at this time, investigators still do not have a motive. 00:31:48 Speaker 13: So we will continue to watch that story. 00:31:52 Speaker 6: And this morning, we have an update for you on that funeral home mix-up out of Detroit. So the families, you remember the story of two women whose bodies were allegedly switched, are now suing the funeral home. So one of the families showed up for their mother's viewing. They realized the woman in the casket was not their mother. And they later learned that their mother, Kimberly Moore, had accidentally been cremated. And another woman had been dressed in her clothes, her wig, and placed in the casket. Now, the attorney representing both families says the funeral home realized that it had made a mistake and tried to cover it up by putting another woman's body in the casket. 00:32:29 Speaker 13: Let's listen to the lawyer. 00:32:30 Speaker 2: They used Miss Miller as a prop. OK, do you understand? They used her as a prop to at least have a body to try to sweep this under the rug. I mean, this is this is as offensive as it gets. 00:32:46 Speaker 13: That's crazy. 00:32:47 Speaker 4: Like, when am I going to know that that's not the mother? 00:32:50 Speaker 6: Yeah, and so both families, they're now suing, accusing the funeral home of carelessly and recklessly handling their loved ones' bodies. 00:32:57 Speaker 13: Now, the second family, they only learned their. 00:33:01 Speaker 6: Mother, Sandra Miller, was the woman in the casket after seeing the story on the news. 00:33:05 Speaker 13: They say they called the funeral home. 00:33:07 Speaker 6: They asked if that was their mother involved in this mix-up, and they were told no. So then they reached out to the other family themselves, and that's when they learned that, in fact, it was their mother. 00:33:17 Speaker 4: Wow. 00:33:18 Speaker 13: Her daughter, yeah. 00:33:20 Speaker 18: After everything she had been through, my mom deserved dignity, identification, protection and respect. She was somebody's daughter. 00:33:27 Speaker 3: She was a sister. 00:33:28 Speaker 18: She was a wife. 00:33:28 Speaker 3: She was a mother. She was my mom. 00:33:33 Speaker 11: Right. 00:33:34 Speaker 6: So and lastly, you know, we talked about the vice president, Joey Hutchinson, Jr. He was found dead inside his home last week, but he is not named in either of these lawsuits. And his family has asked for privacy and officials have not released his cause of death surrounding his his death. So, again, just a very, very crazy stories with lots and lots of twists and turns, guys. 00:33:59 Speaker 4: So I know. 00:34:00 Speaker 13: I know. 00:34:01 Speaker 12: All right. 00:34:01 Speaker 13: Well, that is your front page news. 00:34:04 Speaker 6: Sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, Injured, Know Your Worth, America's largest injury law firm. 00:34:09 Speaker 13: Visit ForThePeople.com. 00:34:11 Speaker 2: All right. 00:34:11 Speaker 3: Thank you, Mimi. 00:34:12 Speaker 10: Now, when we come back, we have OG, Grandmaster Flash. He'll be joining us, and he has a new book out. The name of the book is Birth of a Culture. We'll talk to him next. 00:34:20 Speaker 3: It's The Breakfast Club. 00:34:21 Speaker 12: Good morning. 00:34:22 Speaker 19: Morning, everybody. 00:34:22 Speaker 3: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. 00:34:25 Speaker 10: We are The Breakfast Club. Lorna Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. 00:34:29 Speaker 3: Yes, indeed. The OG, Grandmaster Flash. Grandmaster Flash. 00:34:33 Speaker 4: What's going on? 00:34:34 Speaker 3: How you doing? 00:34:34 Speaker 2: What's going on, crew? It's a bunch of y'all, huh? 00:34:36 Speaker 3: Wow. You're doing okay. 00:34:38 Speaker 12: Man, we all right. 00:34:39 Speaker 3: How you feeling, first and foremost? 00:34:41 Speaker 2: I'm a little tired. I've been running, doing all the promo for the book and the whole thing, but it's great that I've gotten a chance to you know, talk about it from my perspective as a scientist and mathematician. So it was pretty cool. 00:34:55 Speaker 1: New book, birth of the culture and congratulations to you. You're receiving a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. 00:35:00 Speaker 13: Congratulations. 00:35:01 Speaker 2: You are also receiving a star on a, on a hall of fame. What do you think, man? 00:35:06 Speaker 1: I think it's, I mean, it's a, it's a great honor, you know, and it seems like it's, it's one of those things that people see and they feel, I feel like they're more happy for you than you are. 00:35:14 Speaker 3: You're like, Oh wow. 00:35:15 Speaker 2: I was kind of shocked when I heard it and to get it for, you know, the quick mixed theory. I'm like, Does that organization kind of watch for those kind of things? 00:35:25 Speaker 12: Yeah. 00:35:27 Speaker 2: All good, though. 00:35:27 Speaker 3: But somebody had to nominate you. Somebody nominates you. And clearly, I mean, you nominated Grandma after Flash. I mean, that's a no-brainer, right? Absolutely. 00:35:34 Speaker 2: Okay. I still was in shock, though. 00:35:36 Speaker 3: It seems like you still are. 00:35:38 Speaker 2: I was like, okay, this is pretty cool. But good to see you again. 00:35:42 Speaker 12: Absolutely. 00:35:43 Speaker 2: Always a pleasure. Good to see you. 00:35:45 Speaker 4: Hey, are you still in shock? You kind of seem like. 00:35:50 Speaker 2: This is pretty cool or I don't know what. 00:35:53 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:35:53 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:35:53 Speaker 2: It was like, you know, rock and roll hall of fame, same thing. 00:35:55 Speaker 3: It was like, Hmm. 00:35:57 Speaker 2: Okay. Uh, this is pretty cool. And I, I didn't know what they do. He was going to bring us in there, but they brought us in there. So thank you. 00:36:05 Speaker 10: What do you think about, uh, hip hop now, a culture that you helped create? What's your thoughts on everything that you've seen from starting what you started from the streets? 00:36:15 Speaker 2: Well, what I would like to see is quite frankly, see more diversity, in the subject matters, and even in the track. 00:36:23 Speaker 3: What you mean? 00:36:24 Speaker 2: You know, so, like, when it first came out, it became big business. I call it the musical thumbprint. The tracks all had their own sound, and the subject matters, like you could tell a Dre sound, or a Teddy Riley sound, or a DJ Premier sound. Things are beginning to sound a little bit. 00:36:46 Speaker 3: The same? The same. 00:36:48 Speaker 2: I'd like to see that diversity again. But other than that, I mean, I'm glad it got here because if it didn't, I don't know what else I'd be doing for sure. So on that side, it's all good. 00:36:58 Speaker 1: I find it interesting that you named the book Birth of a Culture instead of Birth of Hip Hop. 00:37:03 Speaker 3: What's the difference to you? 00:37:04 Speaker 2: I think it's almost the same thing, but the culture kind of includes everything. Birth of fabric, birth of everything we did that, you know, encapsulates Hip-hop is why I said culture. Other than just, you know, the four elements, it's bigger than that. That's why I named it that, you know? 00:37:26 Speaker 1: You know, people talk about, like, the birth of hip-hop, like everybody got together and decided to create something. 00:37:33 Speaker 3: But they don't realize y'all was competing. Exactly. 00:37:36 Speaker 2: It wasn't no kumbaya by no means. Right, right, right. 00:37:42 Speaker 1: How much of it was actually born out of competition and ego? 00:37:46 Speaker 2: I think it was more or less. 00:37:49 Speaker 2: The four of us had our territories, you know, Herc had the West, you know, Bam had Bronx river, you know, uh, breakout had the North and I had the East. So it was, it was a thing where you want to keep your flock coming to you. That's why like the shopping for the records and finding that beat that nobody else ain't got was like paramount, you know, to keep your flock coming here and not going astray, so to speak, you know? So that's where the competition was. Other than that, we were pretty respectful of each other, you know, uh, Herc didn't always love me, but I still love him. He was always mad at me. 00:38:24 Speaker 3: Were y'all sharing information or were y'all hiding it from me? 00:38:26 Speaker 6: Hiding. 00:38:27 Speaker 12: Hiding. 00:38:30 Speaker 2: Strictly hiding, of course. You know, we would hide the records, you know, even to the point where when we went shopping for records, if I found something that was the bomb, you know, like when you buy the records, you break the street track, they say you bought it. Sometimes you go shopping and you buy two records that have something on it, And this is whack. So what I would used to do is the whack joints. I had like a crate, you know, in my bedroom and I would soak the heat and the whack ones in the bathtub and soak the labels off and switch them. So out of respect, like when a DJ would come visit, you would allow him behind the ropes. You wouldn't have him stay in the crowd. 00:39:13 Speaker 21: Right. 00:39:14 Speaker 2: Can't see my heat though and i know you ain't gonna ask me but you'll never find what my heat was so. 00:39:18 Speaker 10: When you look at the records it's not what it is yeah and they go by and they're pissed off at you oh. 00:39:25 Speaker 2: That'd be the dj he understands that So those things was pretty important. 00:39:30 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:39:31 Speaker 10: I was going to ask, you know, do you feel like people don't respect the hip hop culture enough? Meaning knowing the humor, knowing the four founders, the how it started and all that. Do you think it's just a game where people just jump in and just eat off of a sped of knowing who, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and knowing where the elements of hip-hop created. 00:39:53 Speaker 3: Right. 00:39:54 Speaker 2: I think it is critically important the founders or people that were around the founders educate these young people that this thing didn't just fall off a tree and happen. This thing took a lot of perseverance and a lot of just studying. Me, I did it from a mathematical and science perspective. We were intelligent people that just was doing something, going outside to play. 00:40:19 Speaker 3: Mom would say, go outside, go play. This is what I was doing. 00:40:22 Speaker 2: So people need to know, and the thing is, I wrote this book because chronologically, people should also know where this thing started and why it is that it has a continuity on why it transcended to where we are right now. So when you read the book, you're gonna read the once upon a time, but it's going to connect to where we are right now. And then other than that, I felt it critically important. Like me, I don't think that one person was a creator of this culture. There's just no way possible because there's four elements. I did two of the three, Herc did one, Bam did one, Bam and Breakout did one. So for me, I think it was important for me to say, all right, I'm going to write this book and I'm gonna break precedent on how it's written. Meaning that I'm going to go find me as many people as I can find to contribute their story to this so that people can see where it started and where it ended. Like I got LL Cool J in there. I got DJ Premier in there. I got Ice Cube in there. I got Ice T in there. I got Queen Latifah in there. And what I did is I asked each one of these people, why did you want to jump in? Like, why did you want to be a part of this, what were you thinking? And talking to Rakim about his writing process. What is he thinking? Because he's considered one of the greatest doing this. And I sat down with Q-Tip and how did y'all meet? They met in some of the strangest places. So some of these stories are very, very interesting. Me and Hank Shockley had a sample yelling conversation. It was absolutely amazing. Scholastic and wonderful. So for me, I had to go out and get other people to make this whole thing complete. 00:42:22 Speaker 1: So you basically feel like hip-hop's history has been told incorrectly. 00:42:25 Speaker 2: I think it has to be, gaps have to be filled in. You know, because we can't get... angry, at least me, I can't get angry at anybody that wants to say that they understand the history of hip-hop if they're 30. I can't get mad at them because they weren't born then. 00:42:42 Speaker 3: That's true. 00:42:44 Speaker 2: Why are you going to be mad at them? Because they're doing the best they can. So for me, I want to sit down with all the people that really love this and have these podcasts and things and say, that part right there, this is what happened here. That part right there, this person did that. This part right here is critically important. That's why I wrote the book the way that I wrote it, so that all these young people could come to me and ask me. I'd rather them come to me and say, well, Flash, what happened right here? As opposed to I hear the interview and I'm saying, oh, somebody skipped the floor here. No, somebody didn't go into the basement. You know, it's really, really important. You can't get mad at these people. And I think it's our responsibility to It's our responsibility to tell these young people what this was like so that when they regurgitate it and they tell it to their fans, it's correct. 00:43:33 Speaker 10: When I look at the MTV Awards this year, the Video Music Awards, and I see them highlight Madonna, right? 00:43:38 Speaker 3: And Madonna's, what, 68 years old? 70. 70 years old. And I see them. 00:43:42 Speaker 10: Highlight the way that she is. And that's new fans, young fans, old fans. And they just highlight and love her for what she has done for the culture. I always think to myself... Would they allow that for a KRS-One, give them the same love like that? Or like a, you know, or a Run-DMC, LL, or, you know, a Rock Cam. 00:44:03 Speaker 2: I'm going to answer your question. 00:44:05 Speaker 3: A Grandmaster Flash and Furious 5, yes. 00:44:07 Speaker 2: We got to start doing that with ourselves. Like, I don't mind saying this DJ is incredible or this rapper is this and that. We don't do enough of that amongst ourselves. 00:44:19 Speaker 4: Very true, very true. 00:44:20 Speaker 2: If we don't do enough amongst ourselves, how is outsiders going to come in and say, well, this is what it is? Because you can best believe in Madonna's family, like all the other stars are bigging her up. And it's just nobody wants to say this person did something really good. I like this. 00:44:38 Speaker 3: I like that. 00:44:39 Speaker 2: He's dope. He's that. So we got to start with ourselves. First. That's what I'm thinking. 00:44:44 Speaker 1: I agree with you wholeheartedly. That's why I don't have no problem celebrating people. 00:44:47 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. 00:44:49 Speaker 1: We would clown certain artists back in the day. Because, you know, some of the older artists, when they lose a step, you know, you make jokes about it. But it's like, yeah, but let's not forget who they were. 00:44:58 Speaker 11: Right. 00:44:58 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Let's not forget the foundation that they laid. 00:45:01 Speaker 2: I totally agree. So for me, I sit back and I watch. There's so much controversy in our community of hip hop. as opposed to bigging up. 00:45:14 Speaker 3: That's right. 00:45:14 Speaker 2: People, it's just not enough of that. And you could best believe, Envy, if we do that, then we'll get that Madonna thing you're talking about. 00:45:23 Speaker 3: Yeah, because even like Madonna will play on the pop stations, old or new, it doesn't matter. They just say music is music, right? Right. But, you know, a lot of times we won't do the same. Yeah. But why won't we, though? 00:45:35 Speaker 2: And he's a DJ. Why won't we? 00:45:37 Speaker 3: And he's a DJ on the radio. No, not even me. I play everybody. 00:45:40 Speaker 10: I especially played with the people that I grew up on, but the programmers around the country won't play. 00:45:46 Speaker 1: Let's say we had the same conversation with Kirk Franklin, right? Kirk Franklin just released a record. It's a gospel record. 00:45:51 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:45:51 Speaker 3: But he sampled They Know from Shorty Law, right? 00:45:54 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay. 00:45:55 Speaker 3: The record is just an amazing record. 00:45:57 Speaker 1: Features, Glorilla. It's just a good record. They said, oh, it's a gospel record. We play it every morning here. 00:46:03 Speaker 3: It's a good record. It's a hip-hop sounding record. There's no difference. 00:46:05 Speaker 2: So it's a record that should be able to play everywhere is what you're saying. 00:46:08 Speaker 12: Absolutely. 00:46:09 Speaker 8: Absolutely. 00:46:10 Speaker 2: You know, and the thing about hip-hop, how it was constructed, we musically sampled everything. And lyrically, we allowed you to talk about anything. Correct. So why is it, if the formula is being used, why can't this particular composition play over there or play over there or play over there? I don't know. That's why I'm still here. And I thank God that I'm still here, you know, because I want to try to just add my piece into this. And hopefully that will strike a note with the people that's coming after me to say, right, we need to fix this. We need to do this. We need to. Try to do it this way, that way. You know, the controversial thing, we don't need to do that. We don't have to fight for that anymore because hip hop is gigantic. 00:46:56 Speaker 13: Yeah. 00:46:57 Speaker 3: On the come up. 00:46:58 Speaker 2: This was difficult. 00:47:00 Speaker 1: When a culture gets as big as hip hop has gotten, who gets to write the history of it? 00:47:06 Speaker 3: Is it the people who lived it? Is it the journalists? 00:47:11 Speaker 2: Who gets to live it? the way I wrote it. Who gets to write it, I mean. Who gets to write it? I think the way I did it, it's like I took it as far as I could take it, then I passed the ball. And then passed it. Somebody passed it to Q-Tip. Somebody passed it to LL. Somebody passed it to Premier. Somebody passed it to Ice-T. All these people are in my book because I said to myself, there's no way in hell I'm going to sit here and say that I created all the factors of hip-hop. 00:47:41 Speaker 11: No. 00:47:42 Speaker 2: I did things that helped contribute to it, that helped transcend it here with the things that I did, but it's not just no one person. And I think that's where we kind of screwed it up there by saying one person did all of this. And I was saying for a very long time, we can't do that. It shouldn't be that way. So I don't know whether we, do we rewrite it or do we tweak it? Like, what do we do? 00:48:16 Speaker 20: Outside of the one person conversation, what other hip hop history facts does your book kind of debunk or provide more context to that we would talk about differently. 00:48:24 Speaker 4: After we read it? 00:48:28 Speaker 2: Wax paper. Spray starch. Felt. 00:48:38 Speaker 4: You're making a hip hop? 00:48:41 Speaker 2: I'm going to say something here. My contributions to this culture, four bars forward equals six counterclockwise revolutions, which equals to full loop. The DJ is responsible for the backbeat, the instrumental that allowed the rapper to have a beat, speak on. The seamless loop allows a producer to go into a studio with a fragment from an existing composition called a sample. and take it from the streets to big business. This is my contributions to the culture. It's called the quick mix theory. So for me, I'm only one part of this. You know, and I use math and science, counting the bars and the whole thing, but this is just one piece. There's other people that added another piece and then another piece and another piece and that causes that and then it goes to the next era and somebody else adds another piece. And it has to be that way. And then we have to show more love for people. All right, you added that piece, big up. That's the way it should be. We got a lot of correction to do. 00:49:58 Speaker 3: You talk about the message, right? One of the greatest records in hip-hop history. 00:50:02 Speaker 1: But I recently saw you say that it marked the end of an era of what you consider like a glorious period of hip hop? 00:50:09 Speaker 3: Like, why did you feel like that? 00:50:10 Speaker 2: No, I didn't say, well, I felt that, like Grandmaster Flash in the first five, one DJ, five rappers. I felt like all five of them should have been on this record. They had this formula called the switchovers, where they can make one DJ, one line sound like one. They can go, like they could do that on all the records. And that was our way, Charlemagne. And when that record, when the record company said, we only want one of the five, that was the end of an era. That was the end of an era where it was multiple rappers on the stage at the same time. I think that was. 00:51:03 Speaker 2: There should have been more of that because that's how it was back in the 70s and 80s. Everybody was a group. And a lot of today's fans don't see that. It's probably singular. Lauren was just saying. 00:51:15 Speaker 3: That the other day. We see less and less groups than we did before. 00:51:21 Speaker 20: We have the Migos, but before that, who was closest to them in generation that they can be compared to? 00:51:26 Speaker 4: Because everybody else is like older, larger groups. 00:51:29 Speaker 3: Wow. Wow. 00:51:32 Speaker 18: And I was asking, will we ever see that again as successful as they were? 00:51:34 Speaker 10: Yeah, you'll definitely see that, but it's just going to be far and few. 00:51:36 Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, I think you will. 00:51:38 Speaker 4: I don't know. 00:51:38 Speaker 10: Because they're going ebbs and flows. You had the Migos, you had OutKast, you had Mobb Deep, but you had UGK. You'll see that again. 00:51:45 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think it's magical to see that when they were performing live, to watch them pass the words around. 00:51:52 Speaker 3: It's something to see. Absolutely. 00:51:53 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 00:51:59 Speaker 10: So what do you want people to get from this book, Grandmaster Flash? What do you want them to understand from this book, from you, The. 00:52:04 Speaker 2: Birth of a Culture? If you come from a jazz family, mom and dad or your uncle will drill in your head Miles Davis. If you come from a rock group, if you come from a rock family, mom and dad will drill in your head Rolling Stones. That's right. If you come from a pop family, Mom and dad were drilling your head, Elvis Presley or whatever. 00:52:31 Speaker 3: Elvis Presley, Madonna. 00:52:33 Speaker 2: Oh, whatever. Exactly. I want people to understand that this thing was a slow progression and this thing wasn't oops or by accident. This was seeds planted, grew, and it moved on to the next era. to the next era, and to the next era. So I want people to understand that this thing was not just something that was thrown together. This is something that should be taken very seriously from the first group to where we are right now. 00:53:14 Speaker 3: How do you watch something. 00:53:17 Speaker 1: You helped create evolve into versions of itself that you didn't necessarily understand or even like? 00:53:25 Speaker 2: So how do I say the question again? 00:53:27 Speaker 3: How do you watch something you helped create? 00:53:28 Speaker 2: I watch it. 00:53:29 Speaker 3: I go, Hmm. 00:53:31 Speaker 2: And I, I say, uh, like a lot of times, you know what I do? Charlemagne every now and then I do vinyl sets or vinyl so that people could understand what it is. And I'm not knocking modern tech technology. It actually helped me from stop having to lift crates. So it's a wonderful thing, you know, but every now and then, like, um, I play on Twitch every now and then when I'm home and I go on and I explain to them that the modern technology of equipment assists you a lot, but we can go back to a time where you had to find the part of the song where it is. So for me, when I see new DJs doing things with new technology, I smile, you know, because I can look at the equipment and say, I could say to them, that line right there on the vinyl, I call it the Intersector. I did that 50 years ago. I see it on equipment. You know, so all this stuff makes me smile because once again, all this stuff, all these things that I did, this could have missed. 00:54:41 Speaker 3: That's right. 00:54:42 Speaker 1: Does the technology help people become more creative or does it kill the creativity? 00:54:47 Speaker 2: Oh, it's a little bit of both. I think it's more creative. I had to hire like five or six people with crates when I was booked. Now, I can just put 100,000 songs in a hard drive, you know, and let's go. So that's the gift. I think the curse is I think sometimes modern technology helps you too much. Even with this AI thing, you know, I'm just beginning to learn that. This AI thing, I think it's great, but I think it should be a hybrid of human and AI. and AI together. Because to me, what makes a great song, like James Brown's songs are not on the grid. The horns are a millisecond behind and the bass is, you know, booty might've missed a note or whatever. But when you listening to it, You hear the human, you hear the swag in it. When I hear an AI song... Who missed the note? 00:55:50 Speaker 3: Bootsy Kyle. Bootsy, yeah. 00:55:53 Speaker 2: So when I hear an AI song, it's perfect. 00:55:58 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:55:58 Speaker 3: I don't... I got you. Nothing's ever perfect. I got what you're saying. I got you. 00:56:05 Speaker 4: It's too perfect for you. 00:56:06 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too perfect to take you there. 00:56:10 Speaker 3: Through the motions. 00:56:11 Speaker 2: It's more like it's right there. 00:56:12 Speaker 12: It's like. 00:56:15 Speaker 4: Too polished. 00:56:15 Speaker 2: It's too polished. You know, and I'm not knocking it. 00:56:20 Speaker 3: No, you're right. 00:56:20 Speaker 2: You know, it's just, it is too, too perfect. And if you love the AI artist, let's say he made an album full of those. He's never, he's, he's never coming to the garden. 00:56:30 Speaker 4: I was going to say, how do you tour that? 00:56:32 Speaker 3: How do you invite people. 00:56:33 Speaker 4: To see that? 00:56:33 Speaker 3: She's never, she or he's never going on tour. 00:56:36 Speaker 2: Never. 00:56:37 Speaker 3: That's real. That's real. 00:56:39 Speaker 2: You know, so for me, AI has its place. I think it's cool. I just think that it needs the human element, I think, is paramount to have. 00:56:48 Speaker 3: I think it is. That's great. 00:56:50 Speaker 1: Well, listen, man, I'm glad that hip-hop has grown to where you can have a. 00:56:54 Speaker 3: Book out called Birth of a Culture. Thank you.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. 00:57:20 Speaker 3: What you want to know. 00:57:22 Speaker 2: This is with Lauren LaRosa. 00:57:24 Speaker 4: Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio, the black radio. 00:57:27 Speaker 3: That source is trusted. 00:57:28 Speaker 12: Did you hear that exclusive? 00:57:29 Speaker 20: Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. 00:57:34 Speaker 3: She be having the latest on things. 00:57:35 Speaker 4: You ask the questions that need to be answered. 00:57:37 Speaker 2: On The Breakfast Club. 00:57:38 Speaker 4: If little brown girls look at you and go, I want. 00:57:40 Speaker 3: To be like you. LL Cool B. Talk to me. 00:57:43 Speaker 18: All right, y'all. 00:57:44 Speaker 20: So Da Vinci, actor Da Vinci, we know him famously from BMF. He played Southwest T, Flannery on Starz, 50s BMF. But also he recently appeared in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Again as Marcus Jr. 00:57:58 Speaker 18: It was announced recently. 00:57:59 Speaker 3: Oh, that was Marcus Jr. 00:58:00 Speaker 18: Yep, Marcus Jr. 00:58:01 Speaker 4: Don't play with Da Vinci like that. 00:58:03 Speaker 20: In July, it was announced that he's going to be a series regular on NBC's Chicago Fire. 00:58:07 Speaker 9: Nice. 00:58:07 Speaker 18: Yeah, and then... Shut up to him. 00:58:09 Speaker 4: Like, he's definitely one of them ones. I like to see him on the screen. He's out here working. 00:58:13 Speaker 20: Well, he sat down for a conversation with Cam Newton on Funky Friday and they kept it real funky. 00:58:18 Speaker 18: They got into some things. 00:58:19 Speaker 20: So let's talk about first the conversation on actors outside of American coming and playing these American roles. Da Vinci and Cam talk about this. Let's take a listen to Da Vinci on Black Americans Being Lazy. 00:58:33 Speaker 3: I had like work ethic. 00:58:34 Speaker 4: I was determined. 00:58:35 Speaker 22: Like I started, I could take care of myself like fully at like eight years old. But in America, no shade to you guys, the way the culture have like moved majority of its citizens. It's like, you're just incompetent for a really long time. 00:58:48 Speaker 21: Do you think that that's a country thing or a personal thing? 00:58:52 Speaker 22: I think this country promotes that. I don't think it promote like us, like really like being able to think critically and being like hard workers. 00:58:59 Speaker 3: That's why I. 00:59:00 Speaker 22: Do think some producers probably just like, you know what? We want an overseas actor because they're probably going to be more focused. They're probably going to be less worried about being a celebrity or influencer and probably just locking in on a word. 00:59:11 Speaker 21: I don't agree with you. What America's premise is, is efficiency. Like if there's an easier way to do something, well, that's what it will be. And as collateral, the nation, the kids suffer because they become incompetent. 00:59:25 Speaker 1: Six years old, I was getting off the bus, you know, walking down the dirt road, letting myself in the house and, you know, waiting there until my grandma came home or my mama got off work. 00:59:35 Speaker 3: So we were just as efficient. 00:59:38 Speaker 1: We were just as independent or whatever he said at six and eight years old. 00:59:42 Speaker 2: Yep. 00:59:43 Speaker 4: That's what I said. His life wasn't, like, he's not the only one that had to fend for himself. Exactly. You know what I mean? Like, that's not just your life. 00:59:49 Speaker 1: But you know, that is a thing, right? People say that people in other countries work harder. 00:59:53 Speaker 15: Yes. 00:59:53 Speaker 3: That's why they always say, you know, Mexicans work harder. 00:59:56 Speaker 4: Even in China. Jamaicans work harder. 00:59:58 Speaker 3: Chinese people, everything. 00:59:59 Speaker 4: And we can say what? 01:00:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mexican. 01:00:02 Speaker 2: Oh, my God. 01:00:03 Speaker 3: Mad jobs. 01:00:03 Speaker 4: Like, that's a thing that people say. I've been hearing it all my life. 01:00:06 Speaker 20: And we can say that Da Vinci is Haitian. He grew up, he's been here on Breakfast Club talking about his, you know, growing up. 01:00:10 Speaker 13: In New York. 01:00:11 Speaker 3: They say Caribbean people work harder. They have more jobs. How old is he, though? 01:00:15 Speaker 4: How old is Da Vinci? He should be our age. 01:00:17 Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing about Asians, we were definitely fending for ourselves at age his. 01:00:21 Speaker 3: I mean, I think at my age, so. 01:00:25 Speaker 20: According to Google, he's 30 years old. But at my age, yeah, we were. But when you get a little younger, I mean, my niece, she's not fending for herself, but she is learning through technology and things are a little bit more convenient for her. 01:00:38 Speaker 4: And they get into that a bit as well. 01:00:39 Speaker 3: I mean, at eight years old, had to take care of the two-year-old. 01:00:41 Speaker 4: Yes. 01:00:42 Speaker 9: Yes. 01:00:43 Speaker 19: What? 01:00:44 Speaker 18: A hundred percent. 01:00:45 Speaker 4: Had to do everything. Had to do it all. 01:00:47 Speaker 20: Well, let's, let's, let's switch gears a bit because they also get into, uh, they talk about, you know, racism and dating, um, and the conversation around dating outside of your race. 01:00:55 Speaker 18: Uh, let's take a listen to Da Vinci on racism and dating white women. 01:00:59 Speaker 3: Could you date outside your race in public? Yes. 01:01:02 Speaker 22: I mean, I'm not with white person. That's what the world is wondering. But I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's not a color thing at all. I do think it's unfortunate that we have so many people in the world that can't see past that. I could understand the emotions that it conjure up because of what people of African descent have gone through under the hands of Caucasians. But however, the story is much bigger. Like Caucasians have enslaved Caucasians. Black people have enslaved black people. We're looking at history from a point of view that is cutting our legs off from under our feet to really be able to move forward and be. 01:01:39 Speaker 2: Like smarter and more like a I think just more awareness. I mean, think of it. 01:01:43 Speaker 22: I mean, shout out to the LGBTQ community. They're getting married with pastors that is officiating the marriage and they're not feeling no type of way about it. I don't think black and white people, when they're dating, they should be in a closet. But why is that in America that we fear that more than that if this nation is supposed to be Christian? 01:02:01 Speaker 3: How did he weave slavery into that? Yeah, I was confused. 01:02:03 Speaker 4: Slavery, gays. He hit a lot at one point. 01:02:06 Speaker 11: Damn. 01:02:06 Speaker 3: I'm confused. So what did he say? 01:02:09 Speaker 20: So how I understood it was he's saying that, like, you know, even though that they had their, you know, at one point in time, you know, people of the community could not get married. They've moved past that and they get married and they don't hang on to that. So we shouldn't, because people date outside their race, when you see somebody dating a white or black man dating a white woman, We shouldn't hold on to all the things, the past. 01:02:31 Speaker 4: Back in the day. 01:02:32 Speaker 18: We should allow people to love who they love. 01:02:34 Speaker 3: I'm going to need DaVinci to come to the front of the congregation this morning. We're going to have to have a word with DaVinci. This is crazy. 01:02:39 Speaker 1: There's a difference between white indentured servitude and chattel slavery, by the way. It's not even remotely the same thing. 01:02:47 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll talk about it during talking. 01:02:49 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think the conversation should have, this part of the conversation, she should have had somewhere else because they in this First of all, people are reporting he lost over 200,000 followers. I haven't verified that, but I do know if you go to his page right now, they're in the comments calling. 01:03:02 Speaker 18: Him Daniel Caesar. 01:03:03 Speaker 13: Yeah. 01:03:03 Speaker 4: You remember when Daniel Caesar had the issue with Yes Jewel? 01:03:06 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:03:06 Speaker 1: Is it worth him losing followers or is it just an opportunity to teach? 01:03:09 Speaker 20: I think it's an opportunity to teach and that's what I'm saying. I think that the conversation should have... I mean, it should have happened somewhere else, but he should further it somewhere else because I do think that people will learn and pay attention to Da Vinci. 01:03:20 Speaker 18: He's one of the faces right now of Black. 01:03:23 Speaker 5: Hollywood right and I wonder if he's open to receiving like education about it you know because he seems very sure about everything he's saying. 01:03:32 Speaker 20: He listened and they kind of went back and forth I think anybody that wants to be educated and he speaks from an educated perspective of what he understands I don't see why he wouldn't be open to it I. 01:03:40 Speaker 1: Don't think it's even about educating him you know I always say I don't like to talk to individuals I like to talk you know about ideas and about issues so this just gives us the opportunity to talk about a larger issue 100%. 01:03:51 Speaker 12: Yes. 01:03:52 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:03:53 Speaker 13: Yeah. 01:03:53 Speaker 18: Well, that was the latest for the hour. And by the way, never mind. 01:03:56 Speaker 11: What? 01:03:57 Speaker 20: I was just going to say, I hate when black men say every time we see them with white women, we're upset. Not every single black woman is always upset. And the ones of us that are, that's how we feel. 01:04:07 Speaker 12: Let us have that. 01:04:08 Speaker 18: Like, y'all be upset about things too. 01:04:09 Speaker 3: Our lashes, our wigs, everything. 01:04:10 Speaker 4: Leave us alone. 01:04:11 Speaker 1: Everything. 01:04:11 Speaker 7: Everything. 01:04:12 Speaker 4: It's always a problem. 01:04:12 Speaker 8: Honestly, we. 01:04:13 Speaker 19: Dr. 01:04:13 Speaker 13: Umar agrees with you. 01:04:19 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:04:19 Speaker 3: By the way, salute to Cam Newton. Y'all can say whatever y'all want about Cam. 01:04:22 Speaker 12: I love Cam. 01:04:23 Speaker 4: Cam do good work. 01:04:25 Speaker 18: No, I like Funky Friday. 01:04:27 Speaker 3: He gets the thing. 01:04:28 Speaker 18: And he's not afraid to give his pushback because they. 01:04:30 Speaker 1: Work on back and forth. 01:04:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. 01:04:32 Speaker 4: But that was the latest with Lorna. 01:04:33 Speaker 3: Rosa for the hour. Charlamagne, donkey of the day, you just told us. Yes, I want Da Vinci. 01:04:39 Speaker 21: Mr. 01:04:39 Speaker 12: Juice. 01:04:40 Speaker 4: Come to the front of the congregation. His real name is Abraham. Did y'all know that? 01:04:44 Speaker 12: Yes, Abraham D. 01:04:45 Speaker 2: Juice. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. 01:04:56 Speaker 3: I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. 01:04:58 Speaker 1: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. 01:05:00 Speaker 3: I'm not making these people do these things. 01:05:02 Speaker 4: They called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne, who got the Donkey. 01:05:08 Speaker 3: Of the Day today? 01:05:10 Speaker 1: Well, just hilarious donkey today for Monday, October 5th goes to Abraham. 01:05:14 Speaker 2: The juiced. 01:05:15 Speaker 3: Okay. So I say to all my Haitians that I get that right. 01:05:17 Speaker 12: Juice juiced. 01:05:19 Speaker 3: Okay. Commonly known to y'all as Da Vinci. 01:05:21 Speaker 1: A good morning to the young King Da Vinci. I am sending you positive energy, love, and light. I have not hit a bash you in any way because this conversation is bigger than you. You know, I always strive to not talk about individuals. I like to talk about ideas. issues, institutions. And this conversation is an opportunity to teach. Now, Da Vinci was on Funky Fridays with my guy, Cam Newton, dropping the clues bombs for Cam Newton. OK, doing great work in the media space. OK, love it or hate it. He's really good at what he does. But Cam and Da Vinci were having a conversation about race. And during that conversation, Da Vinci basically said. 01:05:52 Speaker 3: We need to move on from slavery. 01:05:54 Speaker 1: OK, part of his reasoning was that white people enslaved white people to black people, enslaved black people. So if we keep looking at slavery strictly through the lens of race, we're cutting our own legs off. 01:06:05 Speaker 3: Let's listen. 01:06:06 Speaker 22: I do think it's unfortunate that we have so many people in the world that can't see past that. Like, with everything that's going on, like, I can understand the emotions that it conjure up because of what people of African descent have gone through under the hands of Caucasians. 01:06:27 Speaker 3: But however. 01:06:29 Speaker 22: The story is much bigger. Like, Caucasians have enslaved Caucasians. Black people have enslaved black people. We're looking at history from a point of view that is cutting our legs off from under our feet to really be able to move forward and be, like, smarter and more, like, I think just more awareness. 01:06:47 Speaker 1: Now, listen, I tell you every day I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest Avenger. 01:06:51 Speaker 3: But I understand, OK, the larger point he's trying to make. 01:06:54 Speaker 1: The point, I believe, is you cannot build your whole identity around what somebody did to your ancestors. I can agree with that. But Da Vinci, my brother, Mr. 01:07:03 Speaker 12: Juice. 01:07:04 Speaker 1: OK, there is a documentable connection between slavery and present day slavery. 01:07:09 Speaker 3: Black American conditions. 01:07:10 Speaker 1: I don't have time to break it down for you, but I will point you in the direction of Dr. 01:07:14 Speaker 3: Joy degree. Okay. 01:07:16 Speaker 1: She developed a term I read about years ago, and the term is post-traumatic slave syndrome. And it's a theory that describes multi-generational psychological and behavioral effects of centuries of chattel slavery, followed by continuing oppression and racism. See, people don't ever discuss that part. And that's where Da Vinci's comments really fall short. When you say white people enslaved white people too, what exactly are we talking about? Because if we're discussing black Americans, then let's discuss America, not what happened globally around the world. 01:07:46 Speaker 3: Okay. 01:07:46 Speaker 1: The slavery black people experienced in, here wasn't simply somebody making somebody else work against their will okay the white indentured servitude i think you're referencing was a contract-based system okay that racial hereditary chattel slavery and chattel slavery the law literally defined enslaved people as property okay the condition was permanent the children inherited that condition through their mothers okay human beings could be bought sold family separated you didn't work off your debt and go home da vinci okay you were property All right. 01:08:17 Speaker 3: And your children could be property, too. That's not my opinion. That was American law. All right. 01:08:21 Speaker 1: The Library of Congress has the slave code. So, yes, Da Vinci, white people have enslaved white people throughout world history. 01:08:27 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Black people have enslaved black people. OK, Africans participated in the slave trade. That is true. 01:08:33 Speaker 1: But none of that changes what happened here in America. OK, when you say black people need to move on from slavery. Hey, man, black Americans tried. OK, they did move on from slavery. The problem is America kept moving the goalposts. They kept moving the finish line. 01:08:49 Speaker 3: All right. Slavery officially ends in 1865. 01:08:52 Speaker 1: Almost immediately, sovereign states started passing black codes restricting the rights and movement of newly freed black people. Some black people could be arrested for minor offenses. 01:09:03 Speaker 3: And forced back into labor. Please, Da Vinci, watch Ava DuVernay's 13th. 01:09:08 Speaker 1: Okay, that breaks down the 13th Amendment and how it abolished slavery except as a punishment for crime. 01:09:12 Speaker 3: It's really simple. 01:09:13 Speaker 1: Okay, yesterday you were property, today somebody tells you you're free, tomorrow they create a law that can put you right back to work for somebody else. 01:09:20 Speaker 11: How? 01:09:22 Speaker 1: Can black people just move on from slavery when they got trick bags to put us right back in it? 01:09:26 Speaker 2: All right. 01:09:28 Speaker 1: That's not moving on. Then, you know, reconstruction gets dismantled. Then here comes Jim Crow. Now you got segregation. 01:09:34 Speaker 3: You know, black people getting blocked from voting restrictions on. 01:09:37 Speaker 1: Where we could live, where we could go to school, where we could sit, what businesses would serve us. Okay, Da Vinci, for more than a century after the Civil War, laws and practices continued denying black Americans full participation in American life. 01:09:51 Speaker 3: These are just facts. That's it. 01:09:53 Speaker 1: So I'm just asking a simple question. When exactly were black Americans supposed to just start moving on? All right, was it 1865, 1965? 01:10:00 Speaker 3: Pick a date. 01:10:01 Speaker 1: Okay, because every time black Americans tried to move forward, America had another obstacle waiting. Now, let me try to explain this in simple terms before I land this plane. 01:10:10 Speaker 3: Okay, history... doesn't disappear because the law changes. 01:10:14 Speaker 1: If I stop taking money out of your bank account today, that doesn't mean tomorrow our bank accounts are equal. You still lost the money, okay? You still lost what that money could have bought. You lost what you could have invested. Your children lost what you could have passed down. That's how history works as well. Consequences have children, too. That's why I don't like when people say that happened a long time ago. That's just not true. There are black Americans alive right now who lived under Jim Crow. 01:10:42 Speaker 3: OK, my my aunt and my mother included. All right. The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964. 01:10:47 Speaker 1: That's not ancient history. OK, that's your grandmother. 01:10:50 Speaker 3: All right. That's somebody's mother, depending on how old you are. 01:10:53 Speaker 1: There will be somebody sitting at your Thanksgiving table this November who possibly lived through those things. And this is why I think some people misunderstand the black American experience. OK, I would never tell a Haitian person, man, move on from what France did to Haiti. 01:11:08 Speaker 2: Who am I? 01:11:08 Speaker 3: Who the hell am I to say that? 01:11:10 Speaker 12: OK. 01:11:10 Speaker 1: And that's what bothers me about these conversations. People look at where black Americans are standing today. without asking how we got here. You cannot judge black people's position in the race without acknowledging how white supremacy spent generations putting hurdles in our lane. Now, I do agree, DaVinci, history cannot become an excuse for where we stay. 01:11:32 Speaker 12: All right. 01:11:32 Speaker 1: History can can explain where we are, but it cannot become an excuse for where we stay. We have to build. We have to heal. We have to own businesses. We have to buy property. We have to educate our children. We've got to take care of our bodies. We've got to strengthen our families. We've got to hold ourselves accountable. We've got to create institutions and we've got to protect what we build. We've got to pass something down. That's moving forward. But moving forward does not require forgetting. That's why Jewish people say never again. OK, that's why we talk about September 11th every year. Nobody says, man, 9-11 was 25 years ago. Y'all got to move on. 01:12:06 Speaker 3: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. 01:12:07 Speaker 1: We understand that remembering tragedy isn't automatically the same thing as being trapped by tragedy. OK, memory can be instruction. That's what history is supposed to be. So Da Vinci, good brother, I understand you saying black people need to move forward with your history lesson. 01:12:24 Speaker 3: Needs some history lessons. 01:12:26 Speaker 1: Because white people were enslaved to doesn't answer anything about black American slavery and it doesn't explain what happened after emancipation. Black Americans didn't refuse to move on from slavery. We've been moving forward the whole damn time. The fact that we're still here is evidence to that. So don't tell people to forget history in order to move forward. Teach them the proper history so they understand history just how far we've already come. And then I say to us, keep going. Please give Da Vinci, Mr. Juice, the biggest hee-haw. 01:13:04 Speaker 4: Why you say his last name like that? 01:13:06 Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that's how Haitians pronounce it. Mr. Juice. Is it Juiced? Haitians, correct me if I'm wrong. 01:13:10 Speaker 4: You asking this Dominican brother over here. 01:13:13 Speaker 3: I'm not Dominican. I'm black. No, I'm black. I'm not Dominican. I'm not going to lie though, boy. 01:13:20 Speaker 17: What? 01:13:21 Speaker 3: Sometimes when you do think about our history, I'm like, how the hell are we still here? God is good. God must got a plan for us. Because we're supposed to be gone a long time ago. They've been trying to kill us since we got here. Damn it. Lord have mercy. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Jesus Christ. Now, when we come back, Dr. Puma will be joining us. Dr. Puma is the founder and president of Soarin' Medical. Yes. 01:13:43 Speaker 10: We always talk about the heart scan and also the full body scan to make sure that you're all right. You can check for aneurysms, uh, Things like cancer, tumors, blocked arteries, all that. And we're going to talk to him next. 01:13:55 Speaker 1: Don't move. 01:13:56 Speaker 2: It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 01:13:57 Speaker 3: Morning, everybody. 01:13:58 Speaker 10: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. 01:14:01 Speaker 3: We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Our guy. I'm sorry, medical. 01:14:05 Speaker 4: We have Dr. 01:14:06 Speaker 3: Joseph Puma. 01:14:07 Speaker 21: Dr. 01:14:07 Speaker 3: Puma, welcome. Thanks. 01:14:09 Speaker 12: Thanks for having me back again. And really great to see you all. 01:14:12 Speaker 10: We talk about you a lot on this program because we love the work that you do. 01:14:17 Speaker 3: You're saving lives, Dr. 01:14:18 Speaker 9: Puma. 01:14:18 Speaker 3: You're saving lives. So people who don't know who Dr. 01:14:21 Speaker 10: Puma is, tell them about your practice and what your intention is for your practice, and then we can go more in-depth about. 01:14:27 Speaker 3: Some of the things that you do. 01:14:28 Speaker 19: Well, first thing I want to say is you're very kind to me that I'm saving lives, but I want to tell you, you all, Charlemagne, all your advocacy, DJ Envy, Lauren, you're saving lives. In part because you talk about me. I can tell you every single week. There is somebody that's going to be having dinner at Thanksgiving with their family, a mom, a dad, an uncle, a granddad because of the work that you do. 01:14:53 Speaker 12: So I appreciate that. 01:14:54 Speaker 2: Thank you. 01:14:55 Speaker 19: Uh, I've been an interventional cardiologist now for 40 years, graduated medical school. I can't believe it in 1985. And, uh, uh, you know, in this last part of my career, I've, uh, gone independent and, uh, We've just taken all the best technology, trying to keep humanity in health care. And all I'm trying to do is advocate for the communities I grew up in and all the people, as you know, that I think we all have kind of similar backgrounds and try and educate them and inspire them to seek care. 01:15:30 Speaker 3: Get health care. This might be a dumb question, right? But does heart health get worse around the holidays? 01:15:35 Speaker 2: Yes. 01:15:35 Speaker 12: Okay. 01:15:35 Speaker 3: Yes. 01:15:36 Speaker 19: So there are definitely times. Actually, heart health gets worse at about four in the morning. Most heart attacks happen in the morning. There's a circadian rhythm. And then around the holidays, for a variety of reasons, one, because of stress, and second, because depression is higher around the holidays. And there's– one of the reasons we're such a fan of what you do, Charlemagne, and the mental wealth, and I think this is our fourth year supporting it. 01:16:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you very much. 01:16:03 Speaker 19: Is because mental health is connected– To heart disease. You know, one in five people that have heart attacks have significant depression. 01:16:13 Speaker 12: And if you have depression, you have worse outcomes. 01:16:17 Speaker 19: Higher incidence of death, congestive heart failure, or other complications. One in five people after open heart surgery develop significant depression. Kind of like postpartum depression, which everyone knows about. But the same thing with heart disease. 01:16:33 Speaker 11: Wow. 01:16:34 Speaker 10: I wanted to talk about the... some of the procedures that you have, right? You do a full body scan, but you also do a heart scan. Explain what those procedures are and why people should definitely look into doing those procedures, especially for themselves or their family or their parents. 01:16:49 Speaker 19: Yeah, so technology, as you know, has progressed so fast, faster than we could keep up, right? And all we ever hear about is AI, AI, AI, right? Well, the one place where AI has knocked it out of the park is in heart imaging, right? So if you combine a high-quality heart scan with AI imaging, we can now do an angiogram of the arteries in your heart without having to bring you into hospital and without having to do an invasive procedure. We can get an assessment if there's any blockages of the flow, whether or not it needs a stent or bypass surgery. 01:17:25 Speaker 12: And we can get even beyond that. 01:17:28 Speaker 19: An assessment of the plaque in the in the arteries. It's kind of like we're taking a car, driving it inside the artery, right? So we can see if there's calcified hardened plaque, right? In the old days, our parents used to call it hardening of the arteries, right? And it's from calcification. If there's soft plaque, or even if there's plaque that's putting you at risk immediately for a heart attack. 01:17:49 Speaker 12: And so with that three-minute scan, right? 01:17:52 Speaker 19: And you all have been there and you've seen it, we literally can tell people you'd have this scan. 01:17:58 Speaker 12: And then the, the, the. 01:17:59 Speaker 19: Protocol we use in terms of treating your cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, we've proven and published. 01:18:05 Speaker 12: Now you reduce the risk of heart attacks. You can live longer. 01:18:10 Speaker 10: Now, now what's the difference between that and a full body scan? Cause you also have the capabilities of doing a full body scan as well. 01:18:15 Speaker 19: So the one of the, one of the reasons full body scans have become very popular, right? You two kinds of patients, patients that are either symptomatic, are feeling bad for some reason, abdominal pain, or they have dizziness, lightheadedness. And then a lot of people who have anxiety over their healthcare, right? And people are searching on the internet, right? 01:18:33 Speaker 12: We know that now. 01:18:34 Speaker 19: There's a whole industry now of what's called wellness and longevity. And today we have technology that can detect aneurysms or aneurysms, which are thinning of the blood vessels and and if aneurysms rupture no matter where they are if they're in your brain or in your abdomen people either have a stroke or can die from it immediately right can detect tumors um so there's a variety of reasons why people want a full body scan um My job isn't to tell patients I'm smarter than them or I know better for them. My job is to take people as they come and work with them to help them get the things that they need and give them the comfort. And again, as you know, for mental wealth, most common reason people come to a cardiologist, one of the. 01:19:26 Speaker 12: Reasons we're so supportive is anxiety. 01:19:28 Speaker 3: Anxiety, yeah. 01:19:29 Speaker 19: Anxiety causes chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations. 01:19:34 Speaker 2: That's right. 01:19:34 Speaker 12: It can cause all kinds of symptoms. 01:19:38 Speaker 19: And so we have the most advanced CT scan in the world. 01:19:43 Speaker 12: It's the fastest, best images, low, low radiation. It's fast. We don't we have no private pay stuff. We're not concierge. We our goal is to educate people. 01:20:00 Speaker 3: And what about for people that don't have health insurance? 01:20:02 Speaker 21: Right. 01:20:03 Speaker 10: Because people here are talking about it. And I'm sure the first thing they're thinking about is what if I can't afford it? If I can't afford it, does that mean I shouldn't get my heart checked? Does that mean I can't get a full scan? So break down somebody who wants to get a full heart scan, a full body scan, and make sure that them or their family members are healthy. 01:20:19 Speaker 12: So I've been blessed to be in a breakfast club a number of times. 01:20:22 Speaker 19: Every time I've come there, I said, we take care of everybody. If you come to me or any one of my doctors, soaring medical for help, we help you. 01:20:31 Speaker 12: And if they don't. 01:20:33 Speaker 19: Have insurance, they get exactly, if the Queen of England showed up, They're going to get the same care as the Queen of England. That I'm not concerned about. They just let us know. Info at SoarinMedicalNY.com. What their issues are. They don't have insurance. We get them set up. It's no different. If you or your family comes, everyone gets the same treatment. 01:20:54 Speaker 3: You know, I want to tell you something, Dr. Puma. 01:20:56 Speaker 1: I feel like with the coronary calcium scans and the CT imaging and the AI-assisted technology now, I feel like we've reached the point where heart attacks should be much more preventable because you can see them coming. 01:21:08 Speaker 8: Amen. 01:21:09 Speaker 12: They could be preventable. 01:21:10 Speaker 19: And I think when you and I first met, you know, going back, geez, it must be five years now. That was the message, you know, I was trying to tell you. And that's the message I'm trying to get to the community. 01:21:23 Speaker 8: Okay. 01:21:24 Speaker 12: And there's so many people. 01:21:25 Speaker 19: In our community that either don't have access to or it's difficult access to the health system and to their doctors, that one test, and then you add the blood work into it, we can customize and personalize for them. And if they just follow directions, we can, and we've proven it now, we've published it in research, we can reduce the risk of a heart attack. And, you know, long-term, and I remember us having that initial conversation all those years back, right? You know, in terms of families having their mom or their dad, you. 01:21:59 Speaker 12: Know, in their 40s and 50s. 01:22:01 Speaker 19: You know, those are the most important years for your family, even in terms of... creating legacy for your family, generational wealth for your family. 01:22:09 Speaker 12: I mean, we have to be healthy. 01:22:11 Speaker 19: And all of these things, you know, and Charlamagne, you know, you sent me an email a few weeks ago. 01:22:16 Speaker 12: I don't want to say what it was, but it was in the news. 01:22:19 Speaker 19: You know, another 48-year-old, a 50-year-old had a heart attack in the ICU. 01:22:24 Speaker 12: So much of this is preventable. 01:22:26 Speaker 3: Dealing with the insurance companies, right? 01:22:28 Speaker 10: I know we had a conversation one time and you were saying that, we were talking and you were saying sometimes the insurance company prescribe something that was popular in the 80s like a medicine that was good in the 80s and it's now 2026 and the only reason that somebody would be taking that actual medicine from the 80s is because the insurance company wouldn't cover the new one do you see that a lot with with. 01:22:51 Speaker 19: Every single day they do it today on all different kinds of medicines the the uh uh i want to be careful i don't say i've become an activist as you know in my old age uh It is becoming increasingly difficult to take care of patients because what the doctor says you need, you have so many layers of insurance companies, health systems saying, nah, maybe not. So when they do things like that, that's an economic decision. When you go to your doctor, those decisions should be healthcare decisions. What's the best thing for you? 01:23:23 Speaker 12: Okay. 01:23:24 Speaker 19: Your doctor says one thing. And even if it's a, you know, let's do just a simple cholesterol medicine, right? So I see a patient yesterday on pravastatin or simvastatin, right? And those are the first medicines that were ever invented. 01:23:37 Speaker 12: And I was prescribing those in 1990. 01:23:39 Speaker 8: In 2026? 01:23:39 Speaker 11: Yeah. 01:23:43 Speaker 19: They wouldn't authorize the Crestor, the Resuvastatin, or wouldn't authorize the injectables now that we have. There's one injectable that's two shots a year and can drop your cholesterol and LDL. By 45, 50 percent proven to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke makes you live longer. 01:24:06 Speaker 12: The insurance companies won't. 01:24:07 Speaker 3: Pay for it. 01:24:07 Speaker 18: Well, why do they? 01:24:08 Speaker 4: Because so you talk about Robustatin, right? 01:24:10 Speaker 3: Is that one of them? 01:24:12 Speaker 12: That's a pill. 01:24:13 Speaker 20: That's yeah, but that's so common that I know so many people that take that. Why do they prescribe it if there are all these other like new, more like researched methods? 01:24:21 Speaker 19: Well, because we always prescribe things in a sequence, right? But what I'm saying is that they're even denying rosuvastatin, right? 01:24:29 Speaker 12: Crestor, which is. 01:24:30 Speaker 18: Oh, that's a big one too. 01:24:32 Speaker 11: Right. 01:24:32 Speaker 19: That's one of the most common ones. But if you can't get people... We don't just put people on a medication for cholesterol. It's like blood pressure. We have a goal, right? 01:24:41 Speaker 3: What's our goal? 01:24:42 Speaker 19: Where do we want to get your total cholesterol or your bad cholesterol, LDL at? And what we do is we customize that with our heart scan based on your plaque. 01:24:52 Speaker 12: So if. 01:24:52 Speaker 19: We want to, you know, for let's say DJ Envy, we want his LDL below 100. He may only need 20 milligrams of rosuvastatin. But let's say for Charlemagne, we want his LDL below 50 because we see, and I'm not saying this is the case. I'm just saying, you know, hypothetically that there's plaque. We may say he needs 40 milligrams of rosuvastatin. But then when we monitor his levels, his LDL may not be there. So then we have to escalate. So now we want to go to the injectables. Well, the injectables are more expensive, but they work better and they are right for him. But then it's a fight with the insurance company. So that happens all the time. I mean, that even happens with procedures. I have a gentleman who's now in his early 60s, heavily calcified aortic valve, has had stents in his arteries already, and I had him scheduled for Friday for a cath procedure to assess that. 01:25:45 Speaker 12: His insurance denies it. 01:25:46 Speaker 3: That's crazy, man. 01:25:49 Speaker 12: So we're fighting it with them, and we'll do a period of period. 01:25:52 Speaker 19: But you go through so many hoops because they're... Listen, they're corporations. 01:25:58 Speaker 3: I want to tell you, Dr. 01:25:59 Speaker 1: Puma, thank you, man, for being a sponsor of the sixth annual Mental Wealth Expo. Like you said, it's like the fourth year in a row that you've sponsored. So when people come to the Mental Wealth Expo... On World Mental Health Day, October 10th at the Joelle and Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center in Newark, New Jersey. What should they do when they come by your booth? What should they be looking for? What information should they be looking for? 01:26:18 Speaker 12: Yeah, well, first of all, they should come. 01:26:19 Speaker 3: Okay. 01:26:20 Speaker 12: And this is great. 01:26:21 Speaker 19: You've started a national conversation, not just about mental health. 01:26:27 Speaker 12: And what I love about it and the reason we. 01:26:29 Speaker 19: Support it is because you've made it, you've taken the stigma away from talking about your health. 01:26:35 Speaker 12: And kudos to you, Charlemagne. 01:26:36 Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. 01:26:37 Speaker 19: It's amazing, and we are proud to support, again, this year and every year, mental wealth. What we do while we're there is I have a bunch of my amazing staff and nurses there, some of my doctors there, and patients can come talk to us about anything. They get a chance, you know, in a low-pressure environment to ask us any questions that. 01:26:59 Speaker 12: Are on their mind. 01:27:00 Speaker 19: That's number one. Number two, we do blood pressure screenings. Number three, we've started to do vascular tests. 01:27:07 Speaker 12: Disease screening. 01:27:08 Speaker 19: So we'll check blood pressures in the arms and legs. And so we want it to be whatever it is, whatever people want it to be. We want to be a resource for the community. It's not about soaring medical. I, you know, I think you know me well enough now to know that's not what it's about. It's about educating the community. And what I think mental wealth does, you know, when so many thousands of people come It's people come because there's things on their mind and they don't know. 01:27:37 Speaker 12: Where to get the information from. 01:27:39 Speaker 19: And it's become this amazing community of doctors and therapists and people. But it's so common they have other issues. And so that's all we're hoping for. 01:27:51 Speaker 3: That it is. 01:27:52 Speaker 19: So we're proud to support it. We're looking forward to it. I think it's in two weekends. 01:27:56 Speaker 3: October 10th. Yep. Two Saturdays from now. October 10th. 01:28:00 Speaker 1: Joel and Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center in Newark, New Jersey. Come see Dr. 01:28:04 Speaker 12: Puma. 01:28:05 Speaker 3: He will be at the Mental Wealth Expo. That's right. Well, thank you, Dr. Puma, for joining us. 01:28:08 Speaker 10: We appreciate it. And we appreciate you opening up your place for all our listeners. 01:28:12 Speaker 1: Because, I mean, every time I go there, I see somebody that heard it on The Breakfast Club or heard us talking about it or seen us on social. 01:28:17 Speaker 3: So thank you so much, Dr. 01:28:19 Speaker 9: Puma. 01:28:19 Speaker 19: Thank you all for inviting me. And thank you all for all your advocacy and what you do. It's making a huge difference in this world. 01:28:24 Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. It's Dr. 01:28:26 Speaker 2: Puma. 01:28:27 Speaker 3: Let's get to the latest with Lauren. 01:28:29 Speaker 4: Lauren, you're coming straight back. 01:28:30 Speaker 21: Tell her! 01:28:30 Speaker 16: Tell her! 01:28:32 Speaker 3: She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. 01:28:35 Speaker 18: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. 01:28:38 Speaker 3: She be having the latest on it. 01:28:41 Speaker 2: The latest with Lauren La Rosa. 01:28:43 Speaker 1: Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. 01:28:47 Speaker 4: What was the latest? 01:28:48 Speaker 1: Brought to you by Top Dog Law on The Breakfast Club. 01:28:51 Speaker 3: Talk to me. 01:28:52 Speaker 4: Don't be yawning before the latest. 01:28:54 Speaker 3: Top Dog Law. 01:28:55 Speaker 2: Get up there. 01:28:56 Speaker 3: Top Dog Law. 01:28:58 Speaker 18: All right, y'all. 01:28:58 Speaker 20: So let's continue some conversations. Y'all remember last week, actually, we talked about Too Short and the fact that he said that he would go to Diddy's party when Diddy comes home. 01:29:08 Speaker 12: Crazy. 01:29:08 Speaker 4: Never heard it. 01:29:09 Speaker 1: Okay. 01:29:09 Speaker 18: Well, I have the original conversation. 01:29:11 Speaker 20: He sat down with Tawanda over at TMZ and talked about going to a Diddy party once Diddy comes home. 01:29:15 Speaker 18: Let's take a listen to his original comments. 01:29:17 Speaker 4: Puff, his prison sentence keeps getting moved down, down, down. 01:29:20 Speaker 3: He's going to be out of jail soon. 01:29:22 Speaker 4: Do we think that when he gets out, he's going to be able to have a career? 01:29:25 Speaker 17: I'm going to the Puff Daddy coming home party. I'm not the kind of judgmental person who feels like anything outside of him kicking Cassie on the floor. And just in the manner he did that, he had to go through a lot of remorse when he saw himself do that. He probably thought it was swept under the rug and he was going to move on with life. 01:29:45 Speaker 2: I think. 01:29:45 Speaker 17: When he changed his name to Love, I feel like there was a lot of stuff coming down the pipe that he probably knew. And he was like, I got to change my ways. It might have been a little too late because, you know, he's incarcerated for things that most people wouldn't get incarcerated for. You know, I'm not that judgmental to go, I'm mad at a friend of mine for being super freaky. Of all the years I was friends with him, he's never even brought me anywhere near anything freaky other than a fun party where nobody was getting naked. 01:30:11 Speaker 2: Nobody was having sex. It was just passing the weed and having a good time. 01:30:15 Speaker 18: Well, they didn't know. 01:30:17 Speaker 4: Well, yep. 01:30:18 Speaker 2: Okay. 01:30:18 Speaker 18: But that clip was super viral over the weekend. 01:30:21 Speaker 20: And because Tushar got some, he got some phone calls from some friends and he came back online to apologize. 01:30:28 Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to his apology. 01:30:30 Speaker 17: I want to thank all the people that called me yesterday, text me, hit me up about this TMZ Puff Daddy thing. I was a little insensitive with my words. I said that I was, Didn't condone what he did to Cassie, but I would go to his party if he came home. 01:30:45 Speaker 3: I really didn't know the full extent of the case. I did not know. 01:30:49 Speaker 2: There were a lot of women who claimed. 01:30:51 Speaker 17: That they had been abused by Puff Daddy and how it affected them. I do not condone abuse in any kind of way. And I don't support anybody that does it. I want to say I'm sorry to the people that were hurt by the words that I said. 01:31:06 Speaker 3: I have listened. 01:31:07 Speaker 2: I have learned. 01:31:08 Speaker 3: I've read up on it. 01:31:08 Speaker 17: I am more informed to my daughter, to my daughter's mother, to my mother, rest in peace, to my stepmother, to my cousins, nieces, aunties, all of them, all the women in general. It's not a black thing. This is all women across the board. I do not support abuse. 01:31:24 Speaker 3: Abuse or abusers. 01:31:32 Speaker 20: I think people will instantly say if you're there and you're partying with him and celebrating him coming home they would equivalent that to you condoning. 01:31:39 Speaker 1: It well number one did he probably is going to have some type of gathering whether it's a big gathering or a small gathering he's going to have a gathering but if you're willing to extend him grace for the horrific incident we saw with cast right what's the difference, even if you add more women onto it. 01:31:55 Speaker 4: Yeah. And then also, it was about the party. 01:31:58 Speaker 1: Too short said, are you sure that he's regrets what he did and he's sorry for it? 01:32:03 Speaker 20: Okay, okay, I know, I thought you meant, I understood extending grace the wrong way. 01:32:07 Speaker 12: Okay. 01:32:07 Speaker 5: But either way, Just talking about the party, okay? 01:32:11 Speaker 4: Like, just outside the women. 01:32:12 Speaker 5: He said that he actually went to parties, went to Diddy parties, and there wasn't no freaky issue, wasn't nothing. It was just, like, we being passed around. Diddy had, like, regular parties, too, I'm sure. Like, all parties didn't get like that, because that's what he's speaking to. 01:32:24 Speaker 16: Yeah. 01:32:24 Speaker 4: And he was just saying he would go to the party when... I came home with this one. It's like he got backlash. 01:32:30 Speaker 3: Yes, it got backlash. It was in his comments. 01:32:33 Speaker 20: Did he comes home and throws a concert and people buy tickets and go support the concert? The celebrities that are there that choose to be a part of the concert or whatever will also probably get the same backlash. There are people that feel like there should be no comeback supported whatsoever because there were victims of a situation to some extent. 01:32:49 Speaker 11: So. 01:32:50 Speaker 20: Yeah, it is what it is, but that turned around real quick. I saw it picking up. 01:32:55 Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, okay. And that was Tawanda Robinson. 01:32:58 Speaker 8: By the way. 01:32:58 Speaker 3: Abuse is abuse. So whether it's one person or multiple, right? 01:33:02 Speaker 1: So I just feel like, you know, whatever energy he had for the one, he didn't have for all. 01:33:07 Speaker 18: And maybe that's what people were calling him and saying, though. 01:33:09 Speaker 5: He said he didn't know. He said he read up on the case and everything, and that's why he extended that. 01:33:12 Speaker 18: But how do you not know? 01:33:13 Speaker 13: That was. 01:33:14 Speaker 4: Some people. 01:33:16 Speaker 3: Don't be tapped in like that. 01:33:17 Speaker 20: If you know enough to say he is arrested for something that people normally aren't arrested for, you don't know what got him there? 01:33:25 Speaker 4: He said that Diddy. 01:33:26 Speaker 20: Is locked up right now for things that people normally aren't arrested for. How do you know that but you don't? 01:33:30 Speaker 10: Yeah, but it's the prostitution he got arrested for. He didn't get arrested for the abuse. 01:33:34 Speaker 20: But what I'm saying is, if you're talking about these parties where the women were alleging that they had to take pills and. 01:33:39 Speaker 2: Do this and do that. 01:33:40 Speaker 3: It had nothing to do with the abuse though. It was more about the prostitution. 01:33:42 Speaker 18: But all of that was painted in the story that got us to the prostitution. 01:33:45 Speaker 3: He might not have seen that, though. People have lives. People are not tapped in all the time. 01:33:49 Speaker 18: He said, basically, he seemed to volunteer the information. 01:33:52 Speaker 10: Now, he said he's seen the Cassie because that was all over the place. And he was arrested for hiring prostitutes. Across state lines and all that. 01:33:58 Speaker 4: I wouldn't have just volunteered that. If you're going to go, just go. 01:34:01 Speaker 3: That's what I can say. If you watch the video with Cassie, I ain't going to bat for Lydia on nothing. 01:34:06 Speaker 1: I'm just going to sit back. Whatever he got going on, God bless him. I hope he figures his life out. I hope he gets on the right track. That's what I would say. 01:34:15 Speaker 18: All right, well, shifting gears a bit, Envy, you might like this story. I don't know. Odell Beckham Jr., he's saying that the Giants— Odell. Odell Beckham. 01:34:22 Speaker 11: That's what I said. 01:34:22 Speaker 13: You said Odell. 01:34:23 Speaker 3: You said Odell. 01:34:24 Speaker 4: Odell Beckham Jr. 01:34:24 Speaker 3: You said autocorrect. 01:34:26 Speaker 16: Odell Beckham Jr. 01:34:27 Speaker 3: You said Odell. 01:34:29 Speaker 1: Odell. 01:34:30 Speaker 12: Oh, my God. 01:34:31 Speaker 18: OBJ, the football player, the NFL player, okay? 01:34:34 Speaker 6: Odell. 01:34:36 Speaker 20: He says that the Giants basically used him. 01:34:38 Speaker 4: They gave him the run along. 01:34:40 Speaker 20: So there was a content creator who posted a video talking about how it was disrespectful that the Giants brought him on the roster and then let him go. It was supposed to be like that full circle moment for him. And OBJ got in the comments and he says, I'm super smart, but I didn't see this one coming, my brother. 01:34:56 Speaker 18: They got me. They won on top of the money you talking about. I made. 01:35:00 Speaker 20: Um, then I came in humbly took vet minutes, then earned my spot and didn't say nothing about no money, which I know I make for everybody. I'm gonna tell you this. I'm a grown man and it didn't hurt me, but it, but it did when they cut me. Like that part because I should have known better. And remember when they announced the whole he wasn't going to be on the roster no more, they made it seem like a mutual decision. 01:35:19 Speaker 18: This doesn't sound like it was mutual. 01:35:21 Speaker 4: I don't think they ever made it seem like a mutual decision. 01:35:23 Speaker 20: The guy Jordan Schultz, he reported that it was a mutual decision and that it would give OBJ an opportunity to catch on with the team in a better situation where he could be utilized better. This don't sound like that. This sounds like he was looking forward to working and earning his situation. 01:35:37 Speaker 4: It seemed like Odell was looking forward to it. I mean, it excited everybody. 01:35:41 Speaker 3: I mean, we love Odell. 01:35:42 Speaker 2: We love everybody. 01:35:43 Speaker 3: New York Giants fan, sir. 01:35:44 Speaker 6: Oh, okay. 01:35:44 Speaker 3: Say that. 01:35:45 Speaker 1: But don't get it twisted. 01:35:49 Speaker 10: The Giants don't need Odell to sell out the arena. They sell out the arenas regardless. But it was excitement for New York. Just Odell and what he brought to the Knicks, the flashiness, the fun, and the pregame and all that. 01:36:00 Speaker 3: Like, it did. But, you know, it was sad that he never really got a shot to really play. 01:36:04 Speaker 4: So now he not going no ways. Like, he retired? 01:36:07 Speaker 2: He was cut. 01:36:07 Speaker 4: Or he went for another team? 01:36:08 Speaker 10: Well, he hasn't said he's retiring yet, but he was cut. So we'll see what happens. It looked like he still had it. 01:36:12 Speaker 11: Yeah! 01:36:16 Speaker 4: Oh, my God. 01:36:17 Speaker 3: Cowboys won yesterday. Number one in the division. You better respect it. 01:36:22 Speaker 4: You better respect it. 01:36:24 Speaker 2: Why are you. 01:36:25 Speaker 4: So mean to each other? I didn't know a football team could do that. 01:36:28 Speaker 5: There was a lot of things I don't know about football, but I didn't know you could just cut without even playing, without even seeing him play. 01:36:32 Speaker 18: He played a little bit. 01:36:33 Speaker 3: He played a little bit. He was in practice. Yeah, he was cut. Now he was in practice? I mean, he practiced every week with the team. 01:36:40 Speaker 4: I know, but was he in a game? 01:36:41 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think he had like one or two snaps, but he didn't get any balls thrown to him, I don't think. 01:36:47 Speaker 3: I would have loved to see Odell play, but it's business. It is what it is. 01:36:50 Speaker 20: Yeah, he said he don't know why they gave him the run along. 01:36:53 Speaker 18: He could have really been playing this year somewhere and make an impact. 01:36:56 Speaker 3: Who's number one in the division, do you know? 01:36:57 Speaker 18: Why would you ask me that? 01:36:58 Speaker 3: Just say the Giants. 01:37:01 Speaker 4: That's why he. 01:37:01 Speaker 18: I know it ain't the Cowboys, though. I know they definitely know that. 01:37:03 Speaker 3: Definitely the Cowboys. Definitely the bum-ass Cowboys. 01:37:05 Speaker 18: All right, because I always hear that they lose. 01:37:08 Speaker 3: We're 2-2. 01:37:08 Speaker 20: You know, I got a lot of family that are Cowboys fans, and they be really excited. 01:37:12 Speaker 3: Y'all have a lot of fame. What's your dad's team? 01:37:16 Speaker 18: Is there a team in Charlotte? 01:37:18 Speaker 3: I mean, the Panthers. 01:37:20 Speaker 18: It's probably them. 01:37:20 Speaker 2: The Panthers, okay. 01:37:21 Speaker 21: Yeah. 01:37:21 Speaker 4: Why are you trying to be funny? 01:37:24 Speaker 12: Crazy. 01:37:25 Speaker 18: Yeah. 01:37:25 Speaker 4: I hope that wouldn't go down the wrong way. And I'm not resuscitating you. 01:37:29 Speaker 13: Oh, great. 01:37:29 Speaker 2: Thank you. 01:37:30 Speaker 11: All right, y'all. 01:37:30 Speaker 20: That was the latest for the hour.
