UM, And I just love Atlanta. Atlanta is 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.399 Black excellence, and I love Atlanta. I was out last 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.920 night eating at Copper Cove Dinner and I just got 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.919 to chop it up with so many different brothers, brothers 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.760 in the NBA. Covie. Copper Covie is a great name 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:49.680 for a restaurant in Atlanta, right now, Cove Restaurant. You 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.480 said Copper Covie, Like you go? You go there to 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.520 cops from COVID get some nice food and Okay, no 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.120 Copper Cove. So I was out there last night just 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.200 chopping it up with brothers about different things that they're 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.280 doing in different event smith that they're doing. I was 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.600 talking to one brother yesterday's plays in the NBA, and 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.760 he owns a cannabis license out in in the South, 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.240 and he was telling me how he got it and 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.120 what he does and the whole procedure of doing it. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.200 Because I'm trying to get run in Jersey, and he 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.720 was just telling it like it's It's just great because 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.720 there's so much black excellence in Atlanta. So you get 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.560 to chopped up with so many different people doing so 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.040 many different things that you don't really get to see 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.200 whether you're chopping it up with brothers that work at 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.480 different stores and different businesses. So I really really enjoyed that. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.600 To shout out to everybody in Atlanta. I'm here, I'm sure, 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.200 but part of Atlanta.

As the late great Christopher Wallace once said, 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.360 stay low and keep firing. I love it. Let's get 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.400 the show crack the front page Knews. What we're talking about? 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.680 He asked, Well, Joe Biden had some things to say 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.760 about these masks. Man's being removed, and now people are 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:07.160 offended that he used the word Neanderthal. Okay, I know 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.400 another nd word he could have used that with fifty 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.720 word is that Charlemagne. I better be happy. All right, 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.479 we'll get to the next. It's the breakfast call that Drake. Oh, 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.159 we'll Drake be playing right now. We got what hey, drama, 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.160 Drama stopped everything for the Drake. We got that Drake. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.800 You know, we got that Drake. It's new Drake. It 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.680 came out today. It's called What's Next. He's spitting on this. 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:35.679 It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.200 Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.279 That was Drake, New Drake with What's Next? Drake a 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.240 three song. I don't even know what you call it, 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.040 y'all guess it's just a three pack three three pack, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.600 three pack. None of y'all say Drake better than Soldier boy. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.920 I don't know why we don't be having drops that 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.000 say new music from Drake. But I'm not a producer. 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.360 All right, Well, let's get in some front page news 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.240 where we starting you. Well, let's start with these mask 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.520 mandates and have five states Texas, Mississippi, Iowa, Montana, and 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.839 North Dakota have ended or will soon end statewide mask mandates. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.480 Now there's eleven states that never actually required face covering statewide, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.599 and that's Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idahoa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:24.160 South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. So of course Joe 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.800 Biden had some things to say about that, and we 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:30.440 discussed this yesterday. I hope it would realized by now, 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.320 make it different. We are on the cust for being 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.479 able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease, because 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.640 the way we did would get vaccines and people farms. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.960 The lost thing we need is leanderthal thinking that and 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.640 the name thoughts. Take off your mask, forget it, It's 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.560 still matters. I might be a little dumb. What's wrong 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.320 with that word? All right? Well? Senator Marco Rubio went 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.600 on Twitter and he said President Biden's use of an 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.640 old stereotype is hurtful to modern Europeans, Asians and Americans 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.000 who inherit about two percent of their genes from Neanderthal ancestors. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.840 She should apologize for his insensitive comments and seek training 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.240 on unconscious bias. And then they link to a CNN 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.839 article that reported on Princeton University research finding some Neanderthal 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.320 DNA among Africans. Oh my god, middle finger to all 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.400 of that rhetoric listening. People aren't Neanderthals. But it's just 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.880 socially irresponsible. It's ass backwards. That's what Joe Biden should 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.839 have said. This ass backwards. Either we want to slow 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.120 down coronavirus cases all we don't. If mask were proven 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.560 to work, and you know you see coronavirus cases going 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.600 down all across the country, wear your mask, simple as that. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.320 Why would you tell people not to wear a mask? 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.440 Not say anything because here's a part of a party 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.799 where they use a whole other n word to describe 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.599 people with African DNA. All right, what word is there? Nigger? 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.400 All right now. In the meantime, the House displayed the 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.679 final tally for a vote on the George Floyd Police 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.440 Reform Bill. There was only one Republican that voted in 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.720 favor of it. The George Floyd Justice and Policing Act 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.200 with bandcho cold and it would change of the police 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.640 policies as well. The only person that was a Republican 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.880 who voted for it was a lands to Good and 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.440 he's a conservative and he has expressed enthusiastic support for 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.160 Donald Trump. But he did vote for it by accident. 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.200 After the vote, he admitted that it was a mistake. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.200 He said, I accidentally pressed the wrong voting button and 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.040 realized it too late. That's God. That's God, that's God 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.280 controlling your stuff for you, sir, whenever you get on 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.320 your knees and you pray for God, to God your steps. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.240 That's what that was. Just now goodness. Well, the bill 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.720 did still pass two twenty to one twelve, so his 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.640 vote didn't really matter, but he didn't make sure that 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.960 he went officially on record to reveal what his two 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.800 thoughts were. Now, I gotta gotta pass through the Senate 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.960 now right, M Yeah, that's just the house, all right. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.160 Well that is your front page news, all right.

We want to hear from you on 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.679 the Breakfast Club. I want to get some things off 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.959 my chest. Right first, I want to say that I 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.199 don't f with Charlemagne. Lennard McKelvey yesterday did something that 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.719 made it seem like there was a security breach and 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:23.280 had me nervous and upset. Let me, let me, let 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.280 me tell you what I was told. Okay, I'm sitting 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.160 in the studio minding my business. Whenever it's suspicious or 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.280 screene activity downstairs. Security calls up. We get a call. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.360 The call says, there's a guy down here looking for 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.760 DJ Envy. He's like, well, Envy's not here today. The 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.599 guy said, I refuse to leave until I get a 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.160 kiss from dj Envy. Right So he tells me to 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:48.760 the story and says that the guy has to be 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.240 because this guy wanted to give me a kiss right now. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.400 I'm like, Wow, somebody's at the station and they won't 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.599 leave because they're trying to get in touch with me 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.280 or at some way much I kiss you now, mind you. 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.600 We have security up here, so I called a security. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.040 Security goes Envy, what are you talking about? And I'm 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.800 like Charlemagne said this, and Whack said this, And we 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.079 have two three security guards up here. I called each 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:13.679 one of them, and any calls me back, Envy. They're 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.599 playing with you. Nobody came up there looking for you. 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:16.800 So I just think that I just want to tell 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:17.839 you that's foul. I just want to tell you that 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.520 that's not funny. I think they just didn't want to 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.720 concern you, sir. That's all it was, you know, I mean, 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.360 they handled this situation. The thread of the kids was 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:28.319 taken down. Okay, shut up, man, the thread of the 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.080 kiss is gone. I hate you. Took one for the team. 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.920 Good bye. Hello. Who's this Hey? This is Cayrone.

My boys are four, three and seven 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.760 months and that's not the bad part.

All right, we'll get into that next. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:31.400 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:43.760 about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right. Well, 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.919 Takashi six nine made a homophobic comment on Instagram regarding 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.879 Little nas X. So Little nas X went ahead and 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:54.320 aired out some dms on TikTok and according to um 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.360 Little nas X, I guess Takashi was trying to slide 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.159 in his dms, so dancing along to one of his 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.399 own songs. Little nas X addressed the comment by asking 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.480 this you and then share the screenshot up his DNS 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.160 A six nine with two separate messages YO in October 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:11.600 of last year and then going to be in your 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.879 city soon. What you're doing lol? And that was from 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.840 last month. Well. Takashi then responded saying this forty s 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.240 even start. We're gonna nip the small Graham right here 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.240 six times to small count Look, stop playing with me. 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.520 So so he's trying to prove that he didn't actually 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.720 reach out to him. I know, I believe what will 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.080 be the problem if you reached out to him nothing. 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.520 I won't say this the Lord nas X, don't give 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.520 an f I like that, guys, and now he's great. 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.320 But also if you're Takashi, you can't be homophobic when 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:49.040 your rap name is sixty nine sixty nine. All right, now, 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.080 let's move on to some positivity. Zayre Wade has met 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.040 Michelle Obama virtually. They did a Q and A session 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.680 yesterday and Zaya Wade then shared that on Instagram, and 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:03.720 so before they discussing becoming, they did talk about advice 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.680 for teen readers. They did talk about how Ziah was 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.399 nervous to meet Michelle Obama, and she said that's her idol. 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.760 What advice do you have for teens who want to 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.520 be themselves and thrive well like you have and currently are. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.959 I am just so proud of you being just an 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:25.320 amazing role model and embracing your truth. You're already doing this, 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:27.879 so maybe this is for some other young people that 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:32.880 are listening. It does take time to know what your 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.360 self is, you know for young people. So my first 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:42.080 piece of advice is be patient with yourself. Now. Michelle 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.320 Obama also as Zaiah what advice she had for young 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.080 people trying to find themselves, and Zia Wade said, well, 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:48.760 y'all think that we thrive with people who are just 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:50.919 like us. But I think getting a different perspective from 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.240 someone else who isn't like you really helps. That definitely 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.720 helped me in becoming me and defining my truth. I 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.040 think she's great. I love with Gabriel Union and the 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.919 way Wade how they're raising her. I just love it, man, 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.880 I really really love it all right. Eddie Murphy has 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.080 explained how Arnold Schwarzenegger is the person who inspired him 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.440 to do coming to America. He was talking to yeah, 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.440 who Entertainment. And here's what he said. You know what 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.760 happened I was watching. I think it was one of 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.399 those movies with Schwarzenegger, is that when they used that 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.119 terminated movies and they used a special effect, but it 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.160 made him really young. And I was like, hey, if 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.359 you did that scene, we could do a scene where 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.720 we're young and can that scene when we're in the club. 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.119 We could connect it. Then this happened and he and 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.600 then that was the piece that made it all kind 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.440 of fall into place. Okay, I mean, I don't know, man. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.600 I think it might have been Ryan Coogl and Aaron 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.800 McGruder that inspired Coming to America too, because you know, yeah, 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.160 but they didn't direct it all. They didn't direct it though. Yeah, 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.280 but I read a treatment. I read a treatment that 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:52.000 they wrote back in the day, and I know Eddie 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.560 said he didn't like, uh, he didn't like Ryan's idea 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.200 for coming to America. But the treatment I saw that 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.480 they presented as a lot of similarities to the movie 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.000 that's currently screaming on Amazon Prime Video. Now, ye have 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.040 you seen the movie yet? No, it's out today. I 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:06.600 know a lot of people I've seen it already. I've 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:08.480 been dy've been hit me in my d MS and leaving. 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.680 I've been getting a lot of packages though from them 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.960 is great dope. Yeah, we've been getting a lot of 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.600 promo materials for coming to America. He sent us some 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:19.159 soul Golo. I'm trying to figure out if that's real 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.200 activated or not. It is, it's real activated. I read 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.320 the box, I read the ball. That's from Browner Brothers. 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:29.080 I got some sexual chocolates. Yeah, we're talking on hall 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.320 next hour, next how I'm talking on CEN your hall 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:33.720 all right? Well, and they've been doing a lot of 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.560 press lately because Eddie Murphy also did Kevin hart Sirius 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.920 XM podcast comedy gold Mines with Kevin Hart, and he 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.520 talked about how he had actually planned to start doing 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.879 stand up again and then the pandemic. My plan was 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:50.560 to do the Dolomite Saturday Night Live, Coming to America 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.399 and then do stand up, and then the pandemic hit. 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.560 To shut the whole damn that I was going. I 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.800 would the whole time last year. I would have been 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.600 out working on my act, trying to get my Hey, 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.200 when the pandemic is over and it's safe for everybody, 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.399 to go out and do it. Then the plan is 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:12.480 to do it? What what should Eddie Murphy do stand up? Yeah? Yeah, 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:14.200 you know what? Oh my god, you know what. I'd 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:15.480 like what you see Eddie Doude. I would like to 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.159 see Eddie dude Mike Tyson did. When Mike Tyson did 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.080 his um his one man show and he came out 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.520 there and he just told stories about his time in Hollywood. 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.600 I think I think Eddie should do that because the 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.280 bar for Eddie Murphy stand up is so high and 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.320 it's almost like you can't, you can't, you can't get 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.560 to that level again. You just didn't. You remember he 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.600 was a couple of years ago he was negotiating a 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.720 deal with Netflix and that was for an undisclosed number 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:40.800 of stand ups. Remember they were saying he was gonna 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.639 get about seventy million. Yeah, well, Eddie, I'd come out 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:45.040 in the throne and I'd be like, I'm gonna sit 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:47.119 down because I don't want y'all here trying to you know, 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:50.000 say say saying Eddie Murphy's doing stand up again. I 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:51.399 would come out in the throne and I would just 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.479 do the one man's show like Mike Tyson did. It's 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:56.440 funny that you said that because watching Coming to America, Sue, 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.760 my bar is so high from the original one, because 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.520 favorite movie that I don't think it can't compare, and 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.440 I try to compare it and it just can't. It 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:08.720 didn't be the same thing. Whatever you got raw, you 0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:11.640 got delirious, Like people would compare it to that. I would. 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.040 I would if I was I would just come out 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:14.600 and do a one man show because whenever you hear him, 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.160 just tell stories about his time in Hollywood and things 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.680 that he's experienced there. Hilarious. I would just do that 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:23.200 same way Mike Tyson did All Right Now. Nas recently 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:25.840 did an interview with Financial Times, and he was saying 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:28.040 that he doesn't feel like he's in competition with any 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.760 of the younger rappers. He said, I appreciate what's out there, 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:32.639 but there's no one keeping me up at night. I 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:34.359 hear a new rap record, I think it's great, but 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:36.680 I don't listen to it the next week. And he 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:38.760 did say that Pop Smoke did catches out. He said, 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.600 we were happy to see that young king come up. 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:42.800 He was a breath of fresh air. The drill movement 0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.720 in London, Chicago and New York is really exciting. He 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.440 also says that he has some plans to turn his 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.040 track from Elmattock New York State of Mind into a film. 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:54.520 That's dope. That's interesting on me because Nas is a 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.639 god MC right like, like I mean, Nas is in 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.200 you know, my top seven favorite rappers of all time. 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.480 So I always to how people like that do see 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:04.000 the game because their artists, you know what I mean, 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.960 So their their pallet is different than ours. All right, 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.280 well that is your rumor reports, all right, thank you, 0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:12.000 miss y. But you know this, all of the greats 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:15.240 they love, they love the new artists. You know, it's 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.200 sometimes it be to B level and C level artists. 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:18.600 I like, oh here you dopo up right now. But 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.960 all the god mcs, whether it's Whole or Nas or 0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.320 wherever else you put in that category, they love the 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:26.880 new m season and love to work with him, you know. Yeah, 0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:28.639 that's why I mean, that's why it's interesting to hear. 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:30.399 And now I say, nobody keeps him up at night. 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:33.359 Like he said, he appreciates it and he can enjoy it, 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.520 but he's just not up at night. Yeah, I get it. 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:38.119 All right, Well, we got front page news next.

None of them want 0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:25.600 to be there. Not further of all, none of them 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:27.320 wanted to be there. They barely take the au Star 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:29.440 game series as it is, and none of them really 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:30.960 want to be there. This weekend. I don't think they're 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:32.800 gonna be playing hard at all. It's you know, they 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.960 still they still competitive, They still going to w All right, now, 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:37.159 let's talk about Charlotte Bennett. She's the second woman to 0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:40.920 go public with sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Crommel 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.000 in New York. And she did say she thought the 0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:45.359 governor was trying to sleep with her and she was uncomfortable. 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:49.199 She told CBS Evening News anchor Nora O'Donnell what happened, 0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:54.080 and here's what she said about their conversations. He explains 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:57.480 at that point that he is looking for a girlfriend, 0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:04.040 he's lonely, he's tired. He asked if I had trouble 0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:09.919 enjoying being with someone because of my drama. The governor 0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:14.640 asked me if I was sensitive to intimacy in his office, Yes, 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:21.879 during the work day, that already, right, he was. What 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:25.520 he said was that she took the conversation the wrong way, 0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:28.320 that he wasn't trying to do anything, but he understands 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:32.040 that it was uncomfortable for her now or something like that, 0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:34.520 all right. Now. In addition to that, she talked about 0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.760 another part of the conversation where he was discussing ages 0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:40.199 and how he would date women if she was over 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.879 twenty two. You have been quoted as saying that He 0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:45.760 also asked you about if you'd ever been with an 0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:50.159 older man. Yeah, he asked me if age difference mattered. 0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:55.320 He also explained that he was fine with anyone over 0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:59.240 twenty two and how old are you? Twenty five? What 0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:03.760 were you thinking as he's asking you these questions. I 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:07.040 thought he's trying to sleep with me, and I'm deeply 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.560 uncomfortable and I have to get out of this room 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:14.040 as soon as possible. Damn, It's all right, and I 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:17.440 wouldn't tell you Colmo's response. Now. Initially, he had said 0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.080 last week that he never made advances towards miss Bennett, 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:21.800 nor did I ever intend to act in any way 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.520 that was inappropriate. But then on Wednesday he did a 0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:28.080 more direct apology. He said, I now understand that I 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:30.240 acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. It 0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:33.080 was unintentional, and I truly and deeply apologize for it. 0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:36.000 I felt awful about it, and frankly, I am embarrassed 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:37.720 by it. And that's not easy to say, but that's 0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.120 the truth. Yeah, I mean, it's nuts at any man, 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:43.240 but especially someone in his position, would still be, you know, 0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:45.600 talking like that and making those same kind of mistakes 0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:47.960 after me two times up movement, like you have to 0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:52.160 be super arrogant to feel like you are untouchable, you know, 0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:53.960 to still be making those same kind of mistakes. I 0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:55.960 don't care how much Greece Governor Cuomo has in his head. 0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.280 He is not an untouchable mob boss. And me two 0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:00.320 times up should have caused a lot of self direction, 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:02.520 right and if you don't, you did himself correct yourself, 0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:04.520 you head of yourself destruction. Or maybe he's been at 0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:07.160 it for so long he just can't stop. That's that's true, 0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:08.400 But that's what I mean. You got And I think 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:11.080 also and his head feels like because he didn't touch 0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:14.320 her or touch anybody, that he didn't do anything wrong. 0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:18.800 But the conversation can also be manipulative and uncomfortable and 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:21.360 wrong as well, especially when you're a man with that 0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:25.200 kind of power. And right, well that is your front 0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:28.280 page news all right now, when we come back, Charlomagne 0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:30.920 got a chance to kick it with our Cineo.

I always think about y'all man, 0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.320 because from the outside looking in, it always seemed like 0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.960 unity and group operation has been a thing for y'all 0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:57.040 generation to comedians, well, at least with the Black Pack.

I joked about 0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:14.640 this in Chappelle in Chris Rock's dressing room, and it 0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:18.520 was on Instagram. It's interesting, you know, Prince, you know 0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.680 the famous situation at the Beverly Theater where James Brown 0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.840 is performing in Prince and Michael Jackson both showed up. Well, No, 0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:28.360 I thought that on the BT, the one where Prince 0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:31.840 grabbed a light pole and fell an audience. No, okay, 0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.840 I have to send you this, but because it's too 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.560 long to story. But my point was that legends and 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:42.200 goats haven't always gotten along. And I love that Chris 0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:45.400 and Chappelle, as good as they are, they don't compete. 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.800 They drive each other higher. And that's the way Richard 0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.200 and Eddie were. And one time he had this little 0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:56.240 cart right and he said, I hear Eddie Murphy house 0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.680 a movie out and I said yeah. He said, can't 0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:02.080 we go see it? And he was willing to leave 0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:04.000 the house. I put his little cart in the back 0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.280 of my rover and I rented a theater at Paramount. 0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:10.040 Me and Richard sat and watched the Eddie movie. They 0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:14.479 it was a sequel to cop Okay, okay, it's one 0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:17.640 of those. And he loved Eddie. And I love when 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:22.800 the goats are talented and confident enough to hang out 0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:25.680 and drive each other higher. And that's like I went 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:27.560 on the road, did a couple of dates with Chappelle 0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.479 and Chris rocket I loved their relationship. You know, there 0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:33.600 was never jealousy. Nobody was ever hating on the other 0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:36.200 and falling off light poles at the Beverly Theater and 0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:38.720 stuff like that. So the Richard wanted to meet Steve, 0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:41.240 because that's his illegitimate son. Because Steve and Richard got it. 0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:46.440 They look they didn't look alike. Why you wanted to 0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:49.960 see Steve, Well, you know, it probably was some kind 0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:53.240 of synchronicity and looking at a mustache and saying I 0:32:53.440 --> 0:32:56.280 like him. And by the way, he had met Steve 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.320 one other time too. I think Steve told me they 0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:01.360 had met someplace. You know, it might have been some 0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:05.360 visual connection, but with Richard it was probably because Steve 0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:07.840 was funny. And in those times when you're in your 0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:09.880 bed and that's all you do is sit with your 0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:14.440 friend and watch TV, laughter is healing. Laughter is the 0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:17.160 greatest thing ever, and it's why I'm happy this movie 0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:19.600 is coming on March fifth. I know it's not much 0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:23.520 in times like this, when we have food lines and 0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.080 people dying, but I'm sure glad that on March fifth, 0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.720 I can take people away for an hour and a 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:31.960 half and make them laugh. That's why I wanted to 0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:34.440 ask you about the Black Packers, You and Edie's relationship. 0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:37.280 The chemistry has always there. Why is that unity so 0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.520 important then? And how have y'all helped each other over 0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:44.360 the year. While it's interesting, you know, he's a rich guy. 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.680 He don't need no help. But I think we've all 0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:51.200 had we know what the other does. Stand ups are 0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:54.680 very cliquish. There's this thing we think we're the most 0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.080 the most talented people on the planet. We think stand 0:33:58.160 --> 0:33:59.680 up is the hardest thing in the world to do, 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:03.520 and there's a tremendous respect. Don't get me wrong. There's 0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:05.320 some comics are standing in the back of the comedy 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:07.600 store and they hate on you. But for the most part, 0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:11.960 we're very cliquish. And I think Eddie and I met, 0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:15.239 we understood each other, and it's kind of cool that 0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:21.600 we're still friends, because friendships, you know, don't last sometimes 0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:25.240 when there's money and competition and that kind of stuff 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.640 in the mix. How did you and Eddie even become 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:31.840 the friend? Eddie and I met through Keenan Lands We 0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.040 were Keenan called me back in the days when you 0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.799 didn't have a cell phone. You call somebody at home 0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:42.960 if they don't answer. But you know, I got a call. 0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:46.840 It was Keenan. He said, come to the improv about nine, 0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.160 and he said, Eddie's gonna work out because he's in 0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.200 town to do the tonight show, so he needed to 0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:53.840 work out his set and I got there and we 0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:55.880 were standing in front waiting for Eddie to arrive, and 0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.799 Keenan introduced me to Eddie and Eddie said, I wanted 0:34:59.840 --> 0:35:02.200 to meet you in person because my mother thinks we're 0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:06.839 looking like nig You don't look like me and looking Yeah. 0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:09.560 The second sentence Eddie said to me was you don't 0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:15.040 look like me. And and Damon Waans was parking his car. 0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:18.320 This is this is a great story. Damon starts walking 0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:22.359 down the street and he's walking a little offeminine, very 0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:26.920 effeminine and like men on film. Yes, okay, okay, And 0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:29.200 so I hadn't met him, and so we should. He 0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:31.560 put his hand out and he shook my hand, and 0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:34.840 you know, if somebody is really acting like that, you 0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:38.120 don't laugh because that's who they are, you know. So 0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:40.960 I didn't know. I had never met Keenan's brother. And 0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.440 finally he came out of the character and I realized, 0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:48.480 this guy is a funny mother and he can lock 0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:52.480 into a character, and that character, because Eddie's standing there, 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:56.640 that character ended up a valet parking guy in Beverly Hills. Cop. Wow, 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.560 you know, I'm wondering, like, were you hesitant in any 0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.160 way to do a sequel to a classic like Coming 0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:08.359 to America. Oh, yes, because there are gods that walk 0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:12.680 the earth. You're afraid of criticism, you know, from Charallemagne 0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:17.160 to somebody on Twitter. I've been buying a coffee and 0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:20.200 the barista said to me, I heard y'all gonna redo 0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:22.720 that movie. Don't fit up. That's my movie. My family 0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:25.480 watched that movie once a year together. And you realize 0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:27.960 there are people who are afraid for you to go 0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.759 to work. They don't want you to do it, they 0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:33.040 don't want you to do with it, And you start thinking, 0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:36.600 I'm like, wow, if the barista is nervous, what's Challemagne 0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:38.960 gonna say? What? You know? I mean, there are a 0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:41.680 lot of people who see it as this cult film 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.319 that they grew up with and they loved, And there 0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:46.800 were people who really didn't want us to do the sequel. 0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:50.400 But I think we did it, and I think the 0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:52.560 people who are truly fans of it are gonna like 0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:56.160 what we did. Now, if people don't like the sequel 0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:58.160 to come into America, do you think it will affect 0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:01.480 the legacy of the first film. I think the second 0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.160 one will stand on its own as just a statement 0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.839 like I loved the first one. You know, I don't 0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:10.960 think it'll hurt the legacy, but I also think they'll 0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:14.640 love it because you know, it's like a great Michael 0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.800 Eric Dyson book. You're like chapter one, and it's the 0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:21.360 same dude talking to chapter two, continuing his thoughts and 0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:25.360 his flowery language. Is this is a these two things 0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:28.800 work together, Like I love the fact that your kids 0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:31.360 and my kid will be able to watch this and 0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:34.719 within this movie, even if they haven't seen the first one, 0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.680 it will be explained that there was more that happened 0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:39.840 that night when I said I'm gonna tell you a 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:43.120 part and you're friend, dude, you know that entire night 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:47.400 evolved and morphed into something else, and through the magic 0:37:47.560 --> 0:37:51.279 of film technology, Like there's this movie that I was 0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:53.839 watching and I'm looking and I'm like, that young dude 0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:58.400 right then looked like DeNiro, and I realized it was DeNiro, 0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:00.480 And they have this process by what they can make 0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:02.960 you look younger these days. So me and Eddie were 0:38:03.000 --> 0:38:05.719 talking about it and he said, yes, he said they 0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:07.759 did that with Arnold And he said, you know, with 0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:11.040 that idea, we can go back and we can have 0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:13.839 a reprieve of what happened that night, and we can 0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:16.239 go from there into a sequel. And I think it 0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:19.120 was Arnold's young makeup in that process that gave him 0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:22.319 part of the idea for this or to so long 0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:23.759 for us for the film to come out, because I've 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:26.759 been hearing about this sequel for at least it seemed 0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:30.880 like fifteen years. Honestly. Yeah, And here's the crazy thing, Charlemagne. 0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.000 And it's why I love when you ask those kind 0:38:34.040 --> 0:38:37.839 of questions. None of that stuff was ever true. There 0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:41.600 was never a talk. We had actually decided we're fans 0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:44.200 of the movie too. It was great, we did it well, 0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:46.480 we're gonna leave it where it is. And trust me, 0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:50.000 I'm not papered up like Eddie. If he said let's 0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:52.960 do Coming to America too, and it's about us going 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:57.200 to Wakonda with R Kelly, I would sign up and 0:38:57.280 --> 0:39:00.560 I would do it. You know, it's like whatever my life. 0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:04.360 It's like the plane smells like this, you know, whatever 0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:09.479 the I would handle it. But we loved the first 0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:13.200 one and had decided to never do a sequel, and 0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:16.759 then he heard the idea, and that idea went through 0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:20.319 a lot of incarnations. Like for instance, when he first 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:22.759 told me the idea, I said, I kind of like that. 0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:24.640 And he went to the original writers and wanted them 0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:28.920 to craft just the format and get the technical stuff 0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:31.560 right and then go to Kenya and modernize it and 0:39:31.680 --> 0:39:36.160 make it funny. So he had a process. And I said, 0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.719 we're gonna have to cast a son for you, and 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.120 he said, I got that. I got that. And I said, oh, 0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:48.960 he says Tracy Morgan and I said no, no, Tracy 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.880 Morgan is funny every day he wakes up, but you 0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.400 all look about the same age he can't. It's like 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:57.680 we cany have comeing to America with Morgan Freeman as 0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:00.279 your son found in America. You know it's a that 0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:04.000 doesn't work. But we knew that whatever he did, he 0:40:04.080 --> 0:40:06.440 wanted Tracey Innits. So he made him the uncle and 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:09.440 they did a casting call and Jermaine came in. Jermaine 0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:13.400 Foller came in and crushed it on his audition. From 0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:15.719 what Craig Brewer told me, the day he came in, 0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:19.680 it was over because they loved Jermaine. So the bottom 0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:22.399 line is it took four more years after that day 0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:24.719 that he let me read the draft. It took four 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:26.560 more years to get it right. All right, Now we 0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:28.799 got more with our Cineo Hall. When we come back, 0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:32.640 don't move. It's to breakfast Club. Come morning, everybody in 0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:36.360 stej Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the 0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:39.240 breakfast club. You know, Coming to America comes out today 0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:41.360 and Charlomagne got a chance to chop it up with 0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:43.839 our Cineo Yeah, Coming to America's actually out. I got 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:45.400 the chance to sit down and chop it up. One 0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:48.640 of my inspirations. Misto, our Cineo Hall. Visit y'all all comedians, 0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:50.480 you know what I'm saying, y'all, don't bite your tongue. 0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:53.520 But things have changed drastically from the first film. Did 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:57.279 being politically correct and out having to be politically correct 0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:01.040 a certain moment impact the comedy and absolutely league Just 0:41:01.239 --> 0:41:04.600 like when I do stand up, sometimes you're nervous. I 0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.880 was doing stand up one night before COVID and this 0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:11.040 dude was sitting he was sitting watching me like this 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:15.160 Charlemagne and he had he was just recording it all 0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:17.759 and we got him to pull it down off the YouTube. 0:41:18.120 --> 0:41:21.439 But the problem is when I'm in a little club 0:41:21.520 --> 0:41:25.440 working out the jokes ain't finished yet. Um I learned 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:27.880 what's wrong and what's right, and you adjust things. I 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:31.520 hate people to tape it then, because you know you can, 0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:34.960 you can get in some trouble. But political correctness it 0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:37.520 makes you think about it a lot. When I don't 0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.759 like to think, I just like to do it, like 0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:41.800 like coming to America. I remember when I saw the 0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:48.000 line where my barber addresses breast in Africa. I think 0:41:48.080 --> 0:41:52.759 his term was them long slopping it is. And you know, 0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:55.640 I'm like, oh man, I'm gonna come back and do 0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:58.400 this sequel and and I was like, well, I'm just 0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:02.360 gonna blame it on Kenyon. That's it. That's it. You 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.239 know you talked about a being like rich and there 0:42:05.320 --> 0:42:08.800 was a time when Eddie was one of the biggest 0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:10.719 stars in the world. I mean he's still he's an 0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:13.040 icon now, but I'm just talking about like just a 0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:16.200 red hot superstar. That was that ever a moment where 0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:17.759 you had to check him because he might have been 0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:21.640 getting big in front and on you. Wow, I'll tell 0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:24.600 you something about Eddie. Eddie will say something to me 0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:30.439 and we'll be boys doing what guys do. But I've 0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:34.960 seen someone say something about me too, Eddie, and it's like, hey, 0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:38.960 you know, that's my brother. And so we we say 0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:41.600 a lot of crazies to each other, and we argue 0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:45.400 just like friends do. But when our backs are against 0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:48.640 the wall, you know, we ride or die when it 0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:51.640 comes to that friendship. I've always looked up for you 0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:53.520 in the talk show space man. You know that. You 0:42:53.600 --> 0:42:55.760 know I'm saying that a million times had the pleasure 0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:59.239 of telling you that. And you know what I think 0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:01.920 of your work. I mean when people ask me about this, 0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:06.640 you know, like during the election, I'm like, it looks 0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:10.080 like they don't need me on the planet because Charlemagne 0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:14.440 is taking everything I dreamed of doing and tried to 0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:21.080 do to the next plateau. And um with with you 0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:26.040 on the planet, I can stay home. You know. I 0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:28.319 reference you all the time, Man, you you even You're 0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:30.279 one of the reasons I even want to do a 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:32.480 talk show when I when I hosted while I was 0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:34.560 a guest on Stephen Kobet show one time and he 0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:37.520 let me sit behind the desk and I made the audience. 0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:43.000 Do you know what I'm saying? Hey, yo, dog, I 0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:45.440 just had some shoulder surgery from all the years of 0:43:45.560 --> 0:43:52.520 doing that replaced serious. I'm like old quarterbacks like people. 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:54.920 People do that to me now and I go to 0:43:55.000 --> 0:44:00.320 the other homes. What what was your experience as a 0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:03.719 black mail talk show host in the nineties. It was 0:44:03.800 --> 0:44:07.520 hard because well, first of all, hard hard is what 0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:10.320 my uncle did at Jones and locked with Steel, or 0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:13.960 what my other uncle did at Chevrolet. But there were times, 0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:17.279 you know, I remember one time of reviewer referring to 0:44:17.440 --> 0:44:20.560 me as a monkey. I mean, you could imagine back 0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:23.799 then it was different, and we've become a little more 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:28.560 politically correct, but h but it was hard, you hun 0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:33.520 in the context he was talking about my movement on stage, 0:44:34.080 --> 0:44:37.120 you know, because I'm not I don't stand you know, 0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:39.239 I was a stand up and I move a lot. 0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:44.080 It's crazy, Chalomigne. It's the things like I could tell you. 0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:47.120 But you know what was the hardest. Sometimes I had 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:50.440 a desire to leave the business different than I found it. 0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:53.880 I wanted to bring black people into it. I remember 0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:58.160 asking the president of Paramount for an intern program because 0:44:58.640 --> 0:45:01.960 there weren't enough black and there had never been any 0:45:02.040 --> 0:45:05.719 in late night who write jokes every night. So I 0:45:05.840 --> 0:45:09.040 started an intern program. My first intern was John Singleton, 0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:12.400 and he wanted to direct, And the coolest thing in 0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:16.440 the world was this guy on my set. Sometimes I 0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:19.680 would say, weis John Singleton in the hallway where talent is, 0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:24.160 and he would always wander away from the interns and 0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:27.120 go say hello to a guest like Cuba Gooding Junior. 0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:31.520 And it's weird that so much of the prep for 0:45:31.640 --> 0:45:34.160 that movie, in his mind and in his heart and 0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:37.840 meeting people in networking was done on the show. And 0:45:38.040 --> 0:45:40.280 at that time it was like, hey, man, you're supposed 0:45:40.280 --> 0:45:42.840 to be zero rox in the paper that they gave you. 0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:46.040 But now I look back and I'm glad he said, 0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:48.560 fuck off, sir, I don't want to do that. You know. 0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:53.040 Well he did say no, he didn't know he didn't. 0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:56.840 But but I love that that that he didn't do 0:45:56.920 --> 0:45:59.200 what I said all the time, Like there were times 0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:01.880 the intern weren't allowed on the stage, and there were 0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:05.040 times I would walk into the booth and John Singleton 0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:08.000 was watching the director, And now I look back, and 0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:10.919 I'm so glad that he didn't do what I said, dude, 0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:15.200 you know. And so we had young writers and interns, 0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:17.440 and I was able to put a lot of hip 0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:20.480 hop on. I was able to try to do anything 0:46:20.840 --> 0:46:24.320 that Oprah and Johnny weren't doing, and Oprah wasn't crazy 0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:26.520 about hip hop back then. So I got to have 0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:30.120 this lane in this world all to myself. But one 0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:33.280 of the hard parts was in starting that. I remember 0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:36.600 going to Paramount and saying, I want to book this group, 0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:38.920 and I knew that I was gonna have a hard time. 0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:41.719 I had to approve all the bookings early on, and 0:46:41.840 --> 0:46:45.799 I wanted to do NWA and one of the people 0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:47.800 in the meeting knew who it was. I had a 0:46:47.880 --> 0:46:51.440 cassette tape that ice Cube hand delivered to me. He 0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:54.200 brought it to the set. Because ice Cube hated me 0:46:54.320 --> 0:46:58.120 for many years, I wasn't able to pull it off. 0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:01.840 It was early on. I wasn't able to get Paramount 0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:05.600 to He wanted to do the police and I was 0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:09.120 the president of I was the national ambassador of Dare 0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:11.520 and all kinds of stuff, which meant I went to 0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:15.719 schools with cops, and so Paramount wouldn't let me do it. 0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:19.120 I remember finally when they started letting me do stuff. 0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:22.040 One hey, I wanted to do Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown 0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:25.320 played me two songs. He played me my prerogative and 0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:28.759 don't be cruel. And I said, I want to break 0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:30.600 both of them up, and he said, no, just one. 0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:32.960 I want both of them, Bob. It's not like the 0:47:33.080 --> 0:47:36.279 Tonight Show won't let you break it. So I went 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:38.440 to Paramount and I said, I want to do two 0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:40.680 songs in one night. I'm gonna do it on a 0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:42.640 Friday night and I'm gonna do one in the early 0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:44.320 part of the show and one at the end of 0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:46.919 the show. I'm gonna do Prerogative last. And they didn't 0:47:46.920 --> 0:47:48.719 want me to do it. And it was interesting. They 0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:51.799 didn't even like when I said Bobby Brown. They said, look, 0:47:51.880 --> 0:47:54.440 I'm sure she's very talented, but and I said, wa 0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:57.400 wa wa woa she And they said, Bobby Brown is 0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:03.200 She was a spokesmodel on Star Search, right, No, Bobby 0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:07.600 Brown is a man, and Bobby Brown was a new addition. 0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:10.360 And so I realized they were turning me down on 0:48:10.440 --> 0:48:13.160 stuff they didn't understand. And you have to you have 0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:16.320 to realize that in those times when I'm saying Bobby 0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:18.839 Brown and when I'm saying pute tip, and when I'm 0:48:18.880 --> 0:48:22.600 saying um, you know, you know how people sit in 0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:26.840 the band at the Tonight Show or David Sanborn sits 0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:31.200 in with Paul Shaeffer. I want to have some hip 0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:34.560 hop guys with my posse, and I wanted to do 0:48:34.680 --> 0:48:37.239 stuff differently, and I had to fight for a lot 0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:39.080 of that. All right. We got more with us, Seneo 0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:41.279 Hall when we come back, No moves to Breakfast Club. 0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:46.400 Good morning, j Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We 0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:50.160 are the Breakfast Club now. Charlomagne kicked it with Arseneo 0:48:50.200 --> 0:48:54.399 Hall about how long? About a week ago? Two weeks ago? Yeah, 0:48:54.520 --> 0:48:56.600 longer than that, but it's dope. You know. I got 0:48:56.680 --> 0:48:57.960 to sit down with him and chop it up for 0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.920 an hour. He's one of my inspirations. I always say 0:49:01.080 --> 0:49:03.879 six degrees of Arsenio. There's nobody that you can meet 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:06.640 in the industry from a certain era that Arsino doesn't 0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:09.040 have a story about. But we'll talk to him. Man. 0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:14.880 It shows me how much value one black person in 0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:18.040 the right position can have because one thing that you 0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:20.600 always showed us, it was so much value in us. 0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:22.520 And that's one thing I love about the Ustino whole show. 0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:24.239 There was the time when there was a need to 0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:27.360 highlight hip hop and black stars. Do you think that 0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:32.839 black talent is adequately adequately represented in highlighted? Now? Well, 0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:37.319 not to keep kissing your ass, but you know, when 0:49:37.400 --> 0:49:40.440 I listen to you or watch you, I hear about 0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:44.120 the stuff I don't know about, and I think that's important. 0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:48.719 You know, you go deep into hip hop, and you 0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:52.080 know you're an envy. You know, y'all know some folks. 0:49:52.719 --> 0:49:55.520 And I love going that deep. I love going deeper 0:49:55.640 --> 0:49:58.200 than Ryan and Kelly will go with hip hop, you know, 0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:04.720 and you do that. Um. I love Trevor Noah's position 0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:08.520 in the business because he's brilliant and he deals with 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:12.200 an area of show business that Soul Train didn't deal with. 0:50:12.400 --> 0:50:16.440 He deals with an area of society that we've never 0:50:16.560 --> 0:50:19.719 seen a brother deal with. I would love to see 0:50:19.800 --> 0:50:22.080 more people so we have more variety, because there's a 0:50:22.280 --> 0:50:26.920 huge space between Charlemagne and Trevor. Trevor, by the way, 0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:31.120 who's in coming to America. Yeah, I won't even I 0:50:31.160 --> 0:50:33.120 won't even tell what he does, but you can imagine, 0:50:33.400 --> 0:50:36.120 you know. But but bottom line is there's something in 0:50:36.200 --> 0:50:42.560 the middle. And I know there's Jesus and Morrow guy, yeah, 0:50:42.840 --> 0:50:46.560 and and so, but but the bottom line is like 0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:51.520 the NBA. I don't mind having five people in late night, 0:50:51.960 --> 0:50:53.919 you know, and a white boy coming off the bench. 0:50:54.080 --> 0:50:55.920 We can flip it up a little bit, you know. 0:50:57.000 --> 0:50:58.839 You know, I'm so happy this movie is coming out 0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:02.880 coming to America two March fifth because really for you 0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.680 in a lot of ways, because I've told you this before. 0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:11.319 What is our Cineo Hall waiting on to tell his story? Wow? 0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:15.200 See now now you've been friends with Wendy makes this 0:51:15.360 --> 0:51:19.440 real relevant. We all the world just saw her documentary. 0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:25.239 There's no Calvins and then Calvin Calvin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:29.120 there's nobody like that in my life. Yeah, so you 0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:34.800 have a feeling, you know, none of my women have 0:51:34.960 --> 0:51:38.600 ever had down the street in a house that I bought. 0:51:38.800 --> 0:51:42.799 You know. But that stuff makes good television, that makes 0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:47.000 good storytelling. I'll be honest with you, man, I think 0:51:47.120 --> 0:51:50.400 a documentary on me might be boring. I mean, stop, 0:51:51.400 --> 0:51:54.880 there's but there's no there's no drug problem, you know 0:51:56.200 --> 0:51:59.279 unless hey, by the way, weed has gotten me through 0:51:59.680 --> 0:52:02.360 to twenty in part of twenty twenty one. You know, 0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:07.000 I'm yeah, I'm a smoker. I'm I'm a big weed smoker. 0:52:07.120 --> 0:52:10.880 But I think, but you need a cocaine problem, or 0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:14.200 you know, you need to have a scene where where 0:52:14.280 --> 0:52:18.279 you put heroin in your ass at some point. For 0:52:18.560 --> 0:52:22.279 a good documentary, documentary would be a guy who came 0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:25.000 from Cleveland and did very well and then wrote a 0:52:25.080 --> 0:52:27.160 letter to Paramount and said, I want to move on. 0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:28.960 I think I want a family and I want to 0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:32.279 do more acting. You know that's not a good documentary. 0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:36.360 You had so many legendary people in moments on our 0:52:36.440 --> 0:52:39.200 City or Hall show, and you kind of answered this already. 0:52:39.480 --> 0:52:42.440 Do you even factor those moments into your own personal 0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:46.520 measurement of value? I guess I do. But as many 0:52:46.680 --> 0:52:50.520 things that I did right, You know, there are a 0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:54.360 lot of people who hate me because they feel only 0:52:54.560 --> 0:52:59.120 Barbara Walters should interview fair Con and I shouldn't have 0:52:59.160 --> 0:53:01.920 done it. So I got things from that era and 0:53:02.160 --> 0:53:04.839 moments in that era that people hate me for it too. 0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:07.040 And you gotta take the good with the bad. But 0:53:07.200 --> 0:53:09.520 that's who I was. I was mister Curious, and I 0:53:09.680 --> 0:53:11.680 remember meeting him and he told me about the million 0:53:11.719 --> 0:53:14.719 Man March, and he also said to me that I 0:53:14.840 --> 0:53:17.160 had never heard this, and I thought it was important 0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:19.359 to the black community. He looked at me, and he said, 0:53:19.719 --> 0:53:22.000 because I asked him about Malcolm. And I said, I 0:53:22.080 --> 0:53:24.120 think the question that black people want to know is 0:53:24.160 --> 0:53:26.840 your relationship with Malcolm in the end, and he said, 0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:32.320 I think I may have contributed to an atmosphere that 0:53:32.640 --> 0:53:35.960 killed Malcolm. And when he said that, I'm like, I 0:53:36.120 --> 0:53:39.160 gotta do this interview and I already resigned from the show. 0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:43.640 I'd sent a letter to carry McCluggage and they let 0:53:43.719 --> 0:53:46.200 me do it. But a lot of people didn't like it. 0:53:46.480 --> 0:53:51.279 And I get that. I'm sure there are people who 0:53:51.680 --> 0:53:55.000 didn't like my interview with other people too, but but 0:53:55.880 --> 0:53:58.440 so you resigned from last in l Allstel like the 0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:01.480 rumor has always been. Senio Hall got canceled because he 0:54:01.560 --> 0:54:04.719 interviewed the honorable Minutes the Lewis Firecum. Yeah, I had 0:54:04.760 --> 0:54:07.680 sent a letter of resignation to the guy who was 0:54:07.760 --> 0:54:10.960 running Paramount prior to that. Paramount didn't have to let 0:54:11.000 --> 0:54:13.359 me do that, but they thought it was good TV 0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:14.880 to ask him these questions. And by the way, I 0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:18.120 brought in a man back then named IRV Rubin, who 0:54:18.280 --> 0:54:21.479 was head of the JDL, because I wanted to ask 0:54:21.640 --> 0:54:24.120 those questions too, not just the things that black people 0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:26.520 were concerned about it, so you know I tried to 0:54:26.680 --> 0:54:28.560 do it in that way. But yes, I had sent 0:54:28.640 --> 0:54:32.480 a letter in and resigned, and because they had to 0:54:32.520 --> 0:54:33.960 figure out what they were going to do with the show, 0:54:34.200 --> 0:54:37.600 they let me continue to do more shows while they 0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:40.200 figured it out, because I remember the conversation they came 0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:42.360 to me. They said, what would you do? We have 0:54:43.120 --> 0:54:46.359 Bill Bellamy under contract. Do you think he'd be good? 0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:51.200 And that was their conversation. They also brought up John Stewart, 0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:54.640 who they eventually gave the show to. John Stewart had 0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:56.239 a couple of bites at the Apple. He did a 0:54:56.320 --> 0:54:58.879 show back then after me because they went with him 0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:01.520 instead of Bellamy, and then of course got You know, 0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:05.600 there's no timing greater in show business than God's timing. 0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:07.920 It ain't about when you want it, It's about when 0:55:07.960 --> 0:55:10.080 He want to give it to you. Because John Stewart 0:55:10.239 --> 0:55:13.759 changed the game, but not that night. Later on they 0:55:13.800 --> 0:55:16.200 put him in the right place in front of where 0:55:16.560 --> 0:55:20.439 you know, Trevor's life is now and he was groundbreaking 0:55:20.480 --> 0:55:23.600 and change the business, but back then it wasn't his time. 0:55:23.880 --> 0:55:27.640 But he replaced me. Why are resign though I wanted, 0:55:28.200 --> 0:55:30.960 like when you're doing a talk show, it might be 0:55:31.040 --> 0:55:34.400 similar to what you're doing every night. I'm watching somebody's movie. 0:55:34.719 --> 0:55:38.040 I'm reading someone's book. There was no link. Back then, 0:55:38.520 --> 0:55:40.920 you had to go to a theater or someplace and 0:55:41.000 --> 0:55:44.719 watch somebody's movie. You know. There was no laptop. There 0:55:44.840 --> 0:55:47.920 was no like sometimes I can hit my laptop the 0:55:48.000 --> 0:55:51.239 words speak and it'll read somebody's book to me and 0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:53.760 I just sit and listen. But back then you actually 0:55:53.840 --> 0:55:58.279 had to sit with Judith Light's autobiography and read it 0:55:58.400 --> 0:56:01.440 before the interview the next day. And there was a 0:56:01.520 --> 0:56:04.480 point where I wanted to act more. I did Harlem 0:56:04.640 --> 0:56:08.520 Knights in the nighttime. I would do my show all 0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:12.400 day and then shoot Harlem Knights at night and Charlomagne 0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:14.680 I love to act, man, I love to act. I 0:56:14.840 --> 0:56:18.080 wanted more time to pursue that people like people would 0:56:18.120 --> 0:56:21.239 put me in movies as the talk show hosts, or 0:56:21.320 --> 0:56:24.040 they would use clips. And they still do that, like 0:56:24.600 --> 0:56:29.879 like recently there's a there's a mister mister Rogers movie 0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:33.080 and they erased mister Rogers when I interviewed them back 0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:35.480 in the day, and they put Tom Hanks in. They 0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:38.320 can do stuff like that now, so my old interview 0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:41.400 is in the movie, so I guess you could call 0:56:41.440 --> 0:56:45.040 it typecasting. I wanted to act more and something else 0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.400 that's really important for a man when it hits you. 0:56:49.239 --> 0:56:53.279 I felt that every day doing this, I wanted a 0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:56.160 kid man. I wanted to be a dad. I remember, 0:56:56.480 --> 0:57:00.759 I remember the moment too. Magic had started coach and 0:57:00.880 --> 0:57:05.160 he was coaching the Lakers, and Cookie Johnson let me 0:57:05.600 --> 0:57:09.759 babysit EJ and take him to a game between the 0:57:09.880 --> 0:57:13.560 Lakers and the Clippers. And EJ is watching the game 0:57:13.640 --> 0:57:16.480 with me, and during halftime, I took EJ in the 0:57:16.520 --> 0:57:18.880 back just to let him just give dad a hug. 0:57:19.680 --> 0:57:24.240 And when I leaned over so he could kiss Irvin. 0:57:24.840 --> 0:57:27.280 You know how a water balloon, you can't hold it 0:57:27.400 --> 0:57:29.040 and go down on this side and go down on 0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:31.320 that side of you know how a water balloon does. 0:57:31.640 --> 0:57:34.040 That's how EJ start doing to get to his daddy 0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:36.640 and to kiss his daddy and hold his daddy. And 0:57:36.640 --> 0:57:38.360 he didn't want to let him coach the second half, 0:57:39.000 --> 0:57:41.440 and there was a moment that I don't know how 0:57:41.480 --> 0:57:43.600 to describe whether in the way I'm doing it, I 0:57:43.800 --> 0:57:47.080 was that there's no love like the love of a 0:57:47.320 --> 0:57:51.560 father and his son, a father and his daughter. That moment, 0:57:51.640 --> 0:57:54.120 I was like, I didn't want kids as a matter 0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:55.520 of fact. To be I'm gonna be honest with you. 0:57:55.520 --> 0:57:57.440 I'm not gonna even say I didn't want kids. You 0:57:57.520 --> 0:58:00.880 know how, when you don't make mistakes and you get 0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:05.520 around and you haven't gotten somebody pregnant, you're worried. And 0:58:05.600 --> 0:58:09.400 I went to a doctor. You know, I was like, 0:58:09.760 --> 0:58:11.880 I ain't never got nobody to pregnant. And I mean 0:58:11.960 --> 0:58:15.320 I used condoms and everything, but you suppose it slips 0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:18.040 sometimes and I never had one of those situations. And 0:58:18.160 --> 0:58:20.520 I went to a doctor and he said, I remember 0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:23.080 the term. He said, I had slow swimmers. And I 0:58:23.160 --> 0:58:25.000 didn't even ask him for more information because I was 0:58:25.040 --> 0:58:27.680 just too embarrassing. I couldn't. I said, okay, whatever, because 0:58:27.680 --> 0:58:30.480 I think that mean you're broke, you got slow swimmers, 0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:34.000 And uh, it's all about God dog, not you, but 0:58:34.120 --> 0:58:37.720 the other one. And and the bottom line is eventually 0:58:38.360 --> 0:58:41.440 my girl got pregnant and my son was born, and 0:58:41.640 --> 0:58:44.680 I spent the next twenty one years, you know, I 0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:48.920 was that dad at every game, at every play, and 0:58:49.040 --> 0:58:51.840 I tried to slide in and do work here and there, 0:58:52.240 --> 0:58:56.440 but you can't do Hollywood part time.

Just search breakfast ye y'all, wipe that 0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:54.840 cream out your bid and go to breath room report intro. Wow, Okay, 0:59:58.760 --> 1:00:01.600 she's filling the team. This is the rum of rapport 1:00:01.840 --> 1:00:08.680 with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Obio Sound 1:00:08.760 --> 1:00:13.400 or Radio is back now. Drake made that announcement on Twitter. Yes, 1:00:13.520 --> 1:00:15.960 he posted yesterday going live tonight at ten thirty pm 1:00:16.040 --> 1:00:18.080 Eastern with the return of Obio Sound Radio on the 1:00:18.160 --> 1:00:21.040 launch of our twenty four hours station Sound forty two, 1:00:21.080 --> 1:00:24.840 a new experience on Serious XM. He also shared three 1:00:24.920 --> 1:00:28.520 new songs on the Scary Hours to EP now. Here's 1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:30.680 what Drake had to say about Certified Lover Boy and 1:00:30.920 --> 1:00:34.920 Scary Hours Too. I'm back in tip top form, so 1:00:35.600 --> 1:00:40.520 you know that's a blessing, and CLB is currently being 1:00:40.640 --> 1:00:45.520 cheft in every way possible, and I'm just I'm just 1:00:45.640 --> 1:00:48.680 really excited about the music that we're making. I don't 1:00:48.720 --> 1:00:50.880 have an exact date, but just no, it's it's it's 1:00:50.920 --> 1:00:53.760 in a pot and it's coming soon. I wonder if 1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:56.160 it's easier or harder for Drake to make music now. 1:00:56.240 --> 1:00:58.160 You would think, you know, it'd be easier because he's 1:00:58.160 --> 1:01:00.200 playing with house money, because he's Drake. But sometime times 1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:01.720 you set the ball so high that when you fall 1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:05.000 short of what we're used to, you know, people critique harder. 1:01:05.200 --> 1:01:07.040 That's what I've been doing. So it's also it's good 1:01:07.080 --> 1:01:09.480 to see him return to form. It's also inspirational. You 1:01:09.520 --> 1:01:11.600 know a lot of times you get inspiration from different things. 1:01:11.720 --> 1:01:13.640 You trying to grow, you trying to get to that 1:01:13.720 --> 1:01:16.440 next level. But when you're on that level, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1:01:16.440 --> 1:01:17.800 what do you rap about? I mean, it's good to 1:01:17.840 --> 1:01:19.920 see him return the form on the three pack you dropped, 1:01:19.920 --> 1:01:21.280 like when he raps, he's one of the best. And 1:01:21.320 --> 1:01:23.720 he's snapping on that Lemon Pepper freestyle and he said, 1:01:23.760 --> 1:01:27.080 these days famous disconnected from excellence. After time, I gotta 1:01:27.080 --> 1:01:30.040 ask these is what their profession is, Jesus Christ usher 1:01:30.120 --> 1:01:33.400 the generation and these it where my confessions live bars. Yeah, 1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:36.400 he's spitting all right. Well, the songs he put out 1:01:36.440 --> 1:01:38.920 are What's Next once and Needs and Lemon Pepper freestyle. 1:01:39.760 --> 1:01:42.840 All right now music that you're hearing a hotel lobby 1:01:42.880 --> 1:01:47.280 in La though. Huh, Well, I always gotta have something 1:01:47.400 --> 1:01:49.600 to say about you. Just let him, let him live 1:01:51.360 --> 1:01:54.680 and then you and then you gotta go left. And 1:01:54.680 --> 1:01:56.280 when I when I when I gave him propers you'll 1:01:56.280 --> 1:01:57.760 ain't saying nothing. But as soon as I say something 1:01:57.760 --> 1:02:00.280 that y'all might perceive is negative, you look at y'all 1:02:01.480 --> 1:02:03.920 necessary all right now, too Short has explained why his 1:02:04.000 --> 1:02:05.800 song with Drake never came out. He was talking with 1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:08.160 E forty for Hip Hop DX and here's what he 1:02:08.240 --> 1:02:10.160 had to say. I was just about to do a 1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.240 song with Drake. I feel like it might have happened. 1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:15.240 And then he got the thirteen Billboard Awards and nobody 1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:18.040 answered the phone anymore. I was like that, just you know, 1:02:18.040 --> 1:02:19.720 I don't call it too many times. I just fell 1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:24.920 back like damns the window. Drake old though, Drake. A 1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:26.840 lot of Drake sound came from the Bay Area. Man, 1:02:26.920 --> 1:02:30.480 so Drake, old man man, he got busy right all 1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:33.240 right now. Space Jam a new legacy, according to the 1:02:33.320 --> 1:02:36.240 director Malcolm Deeley. He says this new one will be 1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:39.040 even better than the nineteen ninety six original. He said, 1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:41.280 it's a better movie than Space Jam. He told Entertainment 1:02:41.320 --> 1:02:44.360 Weekly lebron has that has got that going for him. 1:02:44.680 --> 1:02:47.560 He said, if you say theatrical movie Space Jam is it? 1:02:48.080 --> 1:02:50.640 You know he just whacked that movie out right, you know, 1:02:50.920 --> 1:02:54.479 he literally just made the movie whack. We gotta stop 1:02:54.600 --> 1:02:57.960 doing that. When you compare something to the original, people 1:02:58.040 --> 1:02:59.840 go win. Thinking, Okay, I'm waiting for this to be 1:03:00.000 --> 1:03:02.160 better than the first Space Jam and when it's not 1:03:02.480 --> 1:03:04.120 the nail say things like, oh, the movie is why 1:03:04.200 --> 1:03:05.440 you know what I call that? I call that minth 1:03:05.480 --> 1:03:07.920 Bleak in somebody sleuthor Bleak. I love Bleak. But when 1:03:08.000 --> 1:03:11.240 jay Z said mith Bleak is the new improved with me, 1:03:12.240 --> 1:03:14.439 he said bleak up for failure because Bleak is good, 1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:16.840 but he not whole. I mean, nobody's whole. But what 1:03:17.000 --> 1:03:18.640 part twos are better? Though? There has to be a 1:03:18.720 --> 1:03:20.800 part two that was better than the part one? Boy 1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:27.800 Bad Boys Bad was Bad Boys. I mean, yeah, are 1:03:27.920 --> 1:03:31.960 equally as good? Yeah, I would say equally as good. Equally. 1:03:32.120 --> 1:03:34.320 I think Nightmare and three Part three was really good. 1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:37.120 I liked it better than the first. I see, I 1:03:37.200 --> 1:03:41.880 don't do hard movie. I don't pay people. Which sequel 1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:43.480 was better than the first? I gotta think about though. 1:03:44.440 --> 1:03:48.360 All right, well that is your rumor report what you 1:03:48.560 --> 1:03:55.440 keep thinking anymore?

Not 1:05:05.080 --> 1:05:08.120 too many things in Florida makes sense, well, at least 1:05:08.160 --> 1:05:10.000 not to the rest of us on the outside looking in. 1:05:10.280 --> 1:05:12.240 And this is one of those times. See the Tampa 1:05:12.320 --> 1:05:17.720 Police Department fired Delvin White key word White for violations 1:05:17.760 --> 1:05:22.720 of policy that prohibit discriminatory conduct. So Delvin White key 1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:27.439 word White clearly did something to discriminate against someone. Well, 1:05:27.880 --> 1:05:32.120 what did Delvin White keyword White do.

The union says the punishment 1:05:42.280 --> 1:05:46.000 was too harsh. Police say the language violates community trust 1:05:46.120 --> 1:05:49.000 and was enough to fire eight year vet Devlin White, 1:05:49.120 --> 1:05:53.200 who worked as a school resource officer at Middleton.

Well, 1:06:40.160 --> 1:06:41.520 I'm not gonna say what he said. His job was 1:06:41.560 --> 1:06:44.160 the insure, but he used the N word. Jess what 1:06:44.720 --> 1:06:53.040 Rice todays?

I think 1:07:29.040 --> 1:07:31.840 v and Angelie, you were wrong playing again. Tampa's police 1:07:31.920 --> 1:07:35.400 union is fighting to reinstate a black police officer fired 1:07:35.640 --> 1:07:38.520 for using the N word on the job. Y'all were wrong. 1:07:39.280 --> 1:07:43.520 That was too easy. Delvin White is black and he 1:07:43.680 --> 1:07:47.480 was fired for using the N word. Now can we 1:07:47.840 --> 1:07:52.520 hear how he used the N word in context? Please? 1:07:56.240 --> 1:07:58.880 You think you're going to jail now? Nigga? Now let's say. Now, 1:07:59.040 --> 1:08:01.520 let's discuss. I play it one more time, Play it 1:08:01.600 --> 1:08:06.760 one more time. You're going to jail? Downing Listen. The 1:08:06.880 --> 1:08:10.880 Tampa Police Benevolent Association said yesterday that they are standing 1:08:10.960 --> 1:08:14.000 with Devin White in fighting the department's firing. Let me 1:08:14.080 --> 1:08:17.959 read the statement from Tampa Police Benevolent Association spokesman Danny Alvarez. 1:08:18.040 --> 1:08:19.960 He said, we stand with the City of Tampa and 1:08:20.080 --> 1:08:22.559 the Tampa Police Department in their efforts to stamp out 1:08:22.680 --> 1:08:25.600 racism in every form and condemn any and all derogatory 1:08:25.680 --> 1:08:29.600 statements in our out of uniform. But the facts in 1:08:29.680 --> 1:08:32.439 the Delvin White matter do not reflect and act are 1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:36.040 any intent that larrants the punishment he received for his 1:08:36.200 --> 1:08:40.160 alleged transgression. Charlottagne and to god Leonardo mckelvy, Uncle Sharla 1:08:40.280 --> 1:08:42.560 absolutely agrees. Let me tell you something. We live in 1:08:42.600 --> 1:08:44.599 a country while a black person is three times more 1:08:44.640 --> 1:08:46.559 likely to be killed by police during the police accounted 1:08:46.560 --> 1:08:48.080 than a white person. We live in a country where 1:08:48.080 --> 1:08:49.640 black people are more likely to be arrested and more 1:08:49.680 --> 1:08:51.240 likely to receive a longer prison sent this than a 1:08:51.240 --> 1:08:53.360 white person convicted of the same crime. We are more 1:08:53.479 --> 1:08:56.400 likely to be profiled than white people. Police historically do 1:08:56.520 --> 1:08:59.240 whatever the hell they want with us in this country, 1:08:59.360 --> 1:09:01.120 and now all of a sudden, you want to fire 1:09:01.200 --> 1:09:04.840 a black man for using the N word in context. 1:09:05.200 --> 1:09:09.600 Let me tell you something. There's a thing called cultural competency, 1:09:09.920 --> 1:09:12.200 and when you're from a certain environment, you speak the 1:09:12.360 --> 1:09:15.799 language of that environment. Of course, a black police officer 1:09:15.920 --> 1:09:18.639 in Tampa is going to use the N word. Devin 1:09:18.760 --> 1:09:23.160 White keyword White was raised in the East Tampa community, 1:09:23.479 --> 1:09:26.680 had nasty environment that he chose to protect every day. 1:09:26.880 --> 1:09:28.920 Don't nobody know how to talk the language of the 1:09:28.960 --> 1:09:31.479 community better than a person who's from that. By the way, 1:09:31.640 --> 1:09:33.960 that's what we need. That's what we want. We need 1:09:34.080 --> 1:09:36.600 policing that is for us and by us. Do you know, 1:09:36.840 --> 1:09:40.720 Devin White also told investigators, yeah, I use the N word. 1:09:40.880 --> 1:09:42.920 And he used the N word while making an arrest 1:09:43.000 --> 1:09:44.880 in November, and he used the N word twice while 1:09:45.000 --> 1:09:48.800 arresting an uncooperative mail for trust passing. Let me hear 1:09:48.840 --> 1:09:50.599 that little clip again of him on the body, can 1:09:51.360 --> 1:09:55.160 my head you're gonna tell my nigga. Yes, he probably 1:09:55.200 --> 1:09:58.080 put handcuffs on a brother when he was being uncooperative 1:09:58.240 --> 1:10:00.760 because he knows him, probably even the property he was 1:10:00.760 --> 1:10:02.960 trust passing on and was given the dude the stern 1:10:03.080 --> 1:10:06.519 talking to and telling him you're going to jail now, nigga. Okay, 1:10:06.800 --> 1:10:10.760 I can guarantee you, with no facts our evidence to 1:10:10.920 --> 1:10:13.439 back this up, that a white person in the Tampa 1:10:13.520 --> 1:10:16.479 Police Department called the black person the N word before 1:10:16.760 --> 1:10:20.000 are displayed some other form of racism, because the whole 1:10:20.040 --> 1:10:23.160 law enforcement system is one of the most racist systems 1:10:23.640 --> 1:10:27.519 you know, period. The two most racist systems in America 1:10:27.520 --> 1:10:31.080 are probably law enforcement in the medical system. I guarantee 1:10:31.160 --> 1:10:34.839 you some police officer use those words or was racist 1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:38.840 in worse ways and nothing happened to them. Okay, Tampa 1:10:38.880 --> 1:10:41.320 Bay Police Department. I don't know who you're trying to fool, 1:10:41.520 --> 1:10:44.120 but You didn't fire Devin White because he used the 1:10:44.160 --> 1:10:46.800 word nigga. You're fired Devin White because in your eyes, 1:10:46.920 --> 1:10:50.880 he is a nigga. Okay, Tampa Bay Police Department, give 1:10:50.960 --> 1:10:54.400 this man, Devin White, his job back. Okay, all right, 1:10:54.600 --> 1:10:56.600 give the man his job back. All Right, y'all know, 1:10:56.680 --> 1:10:59.080 good and damn well, that man was not using the 1:10:59.240 --> 1:11:02.080 N word in whatever context y'all thought he was using 1:11:02.120 --> 1:11:04.280 it in. Okay, Devin White was using it, you know, 1:11:04.760 --> 1:11:07.599 the way you use it when you have folks from 1:11:07.640 --> 1:11:10.160 the community, police in the community. All Right, You're just 1:11:10.240 --> 1:11:12.720 gonna have to understand there as a language barrier that 1:11:13.520 --> 1:11:16.800 y'all gonna have to overcome. And it's simple. We use 1:11:16.880 --> 1:11:18.920 the N word, y'all don't and we shouldn't use the 1:11:19.000 --> 1:11:20.439 N word either. But that's a conversation we need to 1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:22.439 have in private at the next secret Black people meeting. 1:11:22.560 --> 1:11:25.200 In the meantime, please let him give the Tampa Police 1:11:25.200 --> 1:11:28.760 Department the biggest he haw he haw, he ha.

I just want you to 1:11:32.560 --> 1:11:34.599 know that you're over your nigga quota for the day. 1:11:34.720 --> 1:11:36.560 That's what you want you to know that you just 1:11:36.680 --> 1:11:39.280 said it so you made me go over.

White man, just contract. 1:11:48.080 --> 1:11:50.479 That was not well. Guess what I need a white 1:11:50.560 --> 1:11:53.479 man to tell me that I can't use still word 1:11:54.000 --> 1:11:57.960 and you gotta say it. He can't. So you can't 1:11:58.000 --> 1:12:00.439 say that word? What word? Say what word?

And I hope I didn't box that story. Face, 1:14:27.280 --> 1:14:30.040 But that's that's the story. The way do you walk 1:14:30.080 --> 1:14:33.320 in the studio and say, hey, Silk Sonic, No, no, no, 1:14:33.680 --> 1:14:35.559 we played him the song. We sent them the record. 1:14:35.880 --> 1:14:39.120 And when that's hosted by Bootsy Collins, what other involvement 1:14:39.200 --> 1:14:42.200 does he have in the album.

And that's 1:16:19.600 --> 1:16:21.559 really a great way to fill That's gonna be great. 1:16:22.080 --> 1:16:24.560 I'm happy. I think what Swizz and Timberland did with 1:16:24.600 --> 1:16:27.720 that is an awesome a text Swizz congratulating because I 1:16:27.800 --> 1:16:31.000 think that that did a lot for the pandemic. Absolutely 1:16:31.160 --> 1:16:34.840 besides Anderson, pack who would you? Who would you battle? Bruto? 1:16:35.240 --> 1:16:37.160 If there's anybody out there, I'll go toe to toe 1:16:37.240 --> 1:16:41.600 with anybody. I like that. Told to Chalk, I like that. 1:16:42.000 --> 1:16:43.120 I don't want to. I don't know, but I don't. 1:16:43.120 --> 1:16:46.120 I don't want no problems. I don't want to collum Now. 1:16:46.160 --> 1:16:49.120 I think Bruno as you also got yourself an alter ego, right, 1:16:49.320 --> 1:16:52.160 you're designing class Ye. I don't wants calling it an 1:16:52.200 --> 1:16:56.240 altar ego. It's kind of it's weird. But fashion designer 1:16:56.560 --> 1:17:03.200 slash mystery man. Yeah, no, um riquet, what do you 1:17:03.280 --> 1:17:06.760 call it? La Cost approached me. I've been fortunate to 1:17:06.840 --> 1:17:09.680 have been asked to do collaborations before with other companies, 1:17:10.000 --> 1:17:12.360 but it always came with like guidelines. La Cost was 1:17:12.400 --> 1:17:15.080 the only company that was, like Bruno, you could do 1:17:15.120 --> 1:17:18.200 whatever you want. So, you know, Bruno Mars like, that's 1:17:18.240 --> 1:17:21.639 like tour merch and that's who that's that's me on stage. 1:17:21.680 --> 1:17:24.679 I gotta be a designer. And that's where Ricky Rigo 1:17:24.760 --> 1:17:26.719 came up. Because I don't want to wear the clothes. 1:17:26.760 --> 1:17:28.599 I don't want to wear clothes. That says Bruno Mars 1:17:28.680 --> 1:17:31.680 on it now now, Bruno, the other barbershop debate we 1:17:31.800 --> 1:17:33.640 was having was if you did do it versus and 1:17:33.720 --> 1:17:39.240 you battled the weekend. Oh, I said to Charlomagne. You 1:17:39.360 --> 1:17:43.360 heard me the first time I said Bruno over the weekend. 1:17:43.400 --> 1:17:46.439 I said that, Oh, come on, what do you think say? 1:17:47.560 --> 1:17:50.599 I mean, I think that's no branding. I'm not to say, 1:17:51.200 --> 1:17:55.639 come on, don't do that, Charlemagne, don't do that. Don't 1:17:55.720 --> 1:17:58.600 do that. You know, we know what you're doing. We 1:17:58.760 --> 1:18:03.400 know what you're doing. I don't, can't anybody to the toe. 1:18:04.320 --> 1:18:07.320 But then I backed out immediately. That was me. I 1:18:07.439 --> 1:18:10.559 got the shop, but then I backed out immediately. Now, Bruno, 1:18:10.760 --> 1:18:12.840 question why you came that woman out of one hundred 1:18:12.840 --> 1:18:16.840 thousand dollars? Damn? Why are you doing that? Bruno? You 1:18:16.920 --> 1:18:19.280 got that board during the pandemic making the album with 1:18:19.360 --> 1:18:23.519 Andrewhon wasn't another I was some money man. I had 1:18:23.560 --> 1:18:26.639 to skip down to pass it. I put a lot 1:18:26.720 --> 1:18:29.840 on the on the spurs that night. It didn't really 1:18:29.880 --> 1:18:34.479 come through for me. He was over extended. You know. Listen, 1:18:35.160 --> 1:18:37.200 do you know her name? Yeah? I don't think they 1:18:37.240 --> 1:18:39.479 put her name out there. But all right, well, whoever 1:18:39.600 --> 1:18:42.719 you are, I'm so sorry. And stay off the internet. 1:18:44.000 --> 1:18:47.759 That's all you come on, Bruno, Stay off the internet. 1:18:49.240 --> 1:18:52.360 It's treacherous, it's treacherous. Out of the game. But Bruno, 1:18:52.400 --> 1:18:54.000 what do you think when you heard that story? Though? 1:18:54.479 --> 1:18:58.519 I mean, look, I have family members that thought I 1:18:58.720 --> 1:19:02.760 was actually talking to them on Facebook, and you know, 1:19:03.160 --> 1:19:05.680 like this is my uncle's and my aunts. He's like 1:19:06.040 --> 1:19:09.519 they really thought it was me talking to them, So 1:19:10.240 --> 1:19:13.519 I don't blame her. I just I just say to 1:19:13.760 --> 1:19:17.120 everyone out there and be careful because that's a different world. 1:19:17.200 --> 1:19:20.360 It ain't the real world out there. Don't send money nobody, 1:19:20.520 --> 1:19:23.479 but there's nobody's sending money and it's in pac or Bruno. 1:19:23.520 --> 1:19:29.720 Mars is so sonic. Now have you ever had a situation, 1:19:29.880 --> 1:19:32.120 either one of you, where you thought you were talking 1:19:32.160 --> 1:19:35.160 to somebody online and you got catfish, like maybe a 1:19:35.240 --> 1:19:37.760 collaboration you were trying to pig and it was not 1:19:37.880 --> 1:19:40.040 the person you thought it was. Well, it happens all 1:19:40.040 --> 1:19:42.080 the time. I called the same person like with the 1:19:42.160 --> 1:19:45.120 same you know, first name, and as you realize thirty 1:19:45.160 --> 1:19:48.160 minutes in the Saint, this ain't the earl that I wanted. 1:19:49.439 --> 1:19:53.639 I got a chance rich all right, I'll let you later. Yeah, yeah, 1:19:53.880 --> 1:19:57.280 stuff like that. But I always know who I'm talking to. Now, 1:19:57.640 --> 1:20:00.680 you know, y'all think the tweet outs that y'all was, 1:20:00.760 --> 1:20:03.760 you know, doing an album, doing a song. Everybody's talking 1:20:03.760 --> 1:20:07.000 about it. There's marketing and promotion from record labels. Even 1:20:07.080 --> 1:20:09.000 matter when you get to a certain point in your career, 1:20:09.080 --> 1:20:12.519 does it still matter? Yeah, because we hope that the 1:20:12.560 --> 1:20:15.439 Breakfast Club is gonna champion for the song. That's why 1:20:15.520 --> 1:20:17.120 we want to sit down and talk to y'all. Make 1:20:17.160 --> 1:20:20.480 sure that you guys champion for these out of work musicians. 1:20:21.160 --> 1:20:24.080 Brand that y'all gonna play his record. But this didn't 1:20:24.160 --> 1:20:25.680 is like an easy way to do it. I mean, 1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:28.000 you stay here for a day, you do twenty interviews. 1:20:28.040 --> 1:20:31.160 You ain't. You ain't gonna go to Oh no, it's 1:20:31.200 --> 1:20:34.200 different though, a lot much rather be there with y'all 1:20:34.280 --> 1:20:36.920 and you know, doing it like that. The zoom thing. 1:20:37.200 --> 1:20:39.320 This is just like the third time I've ever done. 1:20:39.800 --> 1:20:46.640 It's a zoom kind of skype. Yeah, this is like 1:20:46.760 --> 1:20:50.599 my third zoom in history. Not too good with technology? 1:20:50.760 --> 1:20:53.080 A tech guy, Yes guy, How do y'all keep in 1:20:53.160 --> 1:20:57.759 touch with your lady friends during quarantine? Lady France is married. 1:20:58.080 --> 1:21:02.280 I got a wife, you gotta really, I didn't know 1:21:04.280 --> 1:21:09.120 you're trying. That's what he does. That's this whole thing, 1:21:14.240 --> 1:21:15.760 the pictures of his wife and kids when he was 1:21:16.800 --> 1:21:19.840 You understand me, well, now it makes sense, Bruno, why 1:21:19.920 --> 1:21:23.240 you seem so level headed and so like just humble, 1:21:23.560 --> 1:21:25.480 you know what I mean? Because you got that stability. 1:21:25.800 --> 1:21:29.120 Appreciate that all we got more with Silk Sonic when 1:21:29.160 --> 1:21:32.360 we come back as Anderson Pack and Bruno Mars. Now 1:21:32.439 --> 1:21:34.040 what his name is, John Charleman. I thought it was 1:21:34.080 --> 1:21:37.439 called I think it's called Keep the Jar Open. Oh, 1:21:37.560 --> 1:21:39.320 so why they talk? I guess they told us it 1:21:39.360 --> 1:21:41.080 was Bruce Leroy because they were trying to They didn't 1:21:41.080 --> 1:21:42.759 want the name of the song to go out. Maybe 1:21:42.800 --> 1:21:44.920 all right, well let's get into it. It's the Breakfast Club. 1:21:45.000 --> 1:21:55.360 Good Morning. That was leave the Door Open, Bruno Mars, 1:21:55.400 --> 1:21:57.840 Anderson pact. They are Heim good Morning, we are the 1:21:57.960 --> 1:22:00.160 Breakfast Club. Now let's get back to the off you 1:22:00.240 --> 1:22:03.080 sell them me and what's something? Uh? You know Bruno 1:22:03.240 --> 1:22:06.000 was stronger than you at and vites A versus Bruno. 1:22:06.040 --> 1:22:09.400 What's something? Can I take this one? Let me just 1:22:09.479 --> 1:22:14.320 take this one when I'm stronger than him at boy 1:22:14.520 --> 1:22:16.760 know how to bed man? I'm telling you man, he 1:22:16.840 --> 1:22:19.519 got like, you know, you know what's gonna hit? What's 1:22:19.520 --> 1:22:21.360 going on? He got like a sixth sense. You know. 1:22:22.040 --> 1:22:23.840 I'm more like, oh, let me see, I don't know 1:22:23.920 --> 1:22:26.479 it could go this way? Feeling it out there. He 1:22:26.600 --> 1:22:29.280 got like a spidy sense like nah, we gotta hit this. No, 1:22:29.439 --> 1:22:32.000 we gotta do this progression. You know what I'm saying. 1:22:32.040 --> 1:22:34.439 This is gonna get us to this money in that. 1:22:34.600 --> 1:22:36.720 There's some magic in that. This that's his favorite thing. 1:22:36.800 --> 1:22:39.559 You know. This is the math on that. What about you, Bruno? 1:22:39.600 --> 1:22:42.599 What's something Anderson stronger than you? At the exact opposite 1:22:42.600 --> 1:22:45.000 of what he said. I grew up with some old 1:22:45.120 --> 1:22:49.840 school producers that was really hard in the studio to 1:22:49.920 --> 1:22:53.000 work with because they understand how to get to a 1:22:53.080 --> 1:22:56.400 certain place that they want to go. And I grew 1:22:56.479 --> 1:22:58.720 up watching that and seeing that, and I've seen some 1:22:59.600 --> 1:23:02.880 horrible things, but I've seen them that turn into magic. 1:23:03.520 --> 1:23:08.120 Anderson is give me the drumsticks, you know, turn on 1:23:08.200 --> 1:23:11.479 the mic. So he's got this freedom. That's how he 1:23:11.640 --> 1:23:14.160 finds his groove. And I'm a little and I'm a 1:23:14.200 --> 1:23:16.840 little more like, all right, well maybe if I play 1:23:16.920 --> 1:23:19.479 this chord and then I do this, and then I 1:23:19.640 --> 1:23:22.880 do that. Yeah, I also like to like bounce around 1:23:22.960 --> 1:23:25.160 like we're gonna do the song. You know, we work 1:23:25.240 --> 1:23:27.080 on it for four or five hours, and then let's 1:23:27.160 --> 1:23:29.400 let's jump to something else, you know, or let's let's 1:23:29.479 --> 1:23:31.800 let's touch on this. This dude is obsessed. He's gonna 1:23:31.800 --> 1:23:33.880 be working on the same damn song for two years 1:23:34.920 --> 1:23:38.160 just because there's magic in the hook. He knows that, 1:23:38.680 --> 1:23:41.400 and it's like an obsession, bro, And like we can 1:23:41.479 --> 1:23:44.160 work on something all day and we come back, you know, 1:23:44.160 --> 1:23:46.360 I'll be like, man, it's a sicky like, nah, it 1:23:46.439 --> 1:23:48.640 ain't good. We went we made a left turn here, 1:23:48.680 --> 1:23:51.000 we need to go right right here, And yeah, we 1:23:51.120 --> 1:23:53.160 work all day on it. Again. It's crazy work. I 1:23:53.280 --> 1:23:55.080 thick and I told her Andy, it's like it's nothing 1:23:55.120 --> 1:23:57.519 to brag about. I wish I could just go and 1:23:57.720 --> 1:23:59.920 just have you know, some ansors, but it just takes up. 1:24:00.040 --> 1:24:01.720 It takes, like I said, it takes a lot for 1:24:01.840 --> 1:24:04.240 me to feel like, all right, it's done. In this 1:24:04.400 --> 1:24:07.719 first single. That took a lot. Yeah, and we couldn't 1:24:07.720 --> 1:24:10.080 be prouder. I want to ask Bruno. You know, Bruno, 1:24:10.120 --> 1:24:13.320 you know people love to accuse you of being a 1:24:13.439 --> 1:24:16.400 cultural thief, which I find interesting because you are a 1:24:16.479 --> 1:24:18.679 person of color. What would you say to those people? 1:24:19.400 --> 1:24:22.160 I would say, you can't look at an interview. You 1:24:22.240 --> 1:24:26.479 can't find an interview where I am not talking about 1:24:26.560 --> 1:24:29.599 the entertainers that have come before me. And the only 1:24:29.680 --> 1:24:33.160 reason why I'm here is because of James Brown is 1:24:33.200 --> 1:24:36.559 because of Prince Michael. That's the only reason why I'm here. 1:24:37.040 --> 1:24:40.800 I'm growing up as a kid watching Bobby Brown saying, Okay, 1:24:40.840 --> 1:24:42.720 if that's what it takes to make it, then I 1:24:42.800 --> 1:24:45.439 gotta learn how to do the running, man. I gotta 1:24:45.520 --> 1:24:48.160 learn how to do the moonwalk. I said, And this 1:24:48.320 --> 1:24:51.000 music comes from love. If you can't hear that, then 1:24:51.040 --> 1:24:52.680 I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. When I 1:24:52.760 --> 1:24:55.839 saw you shout out Teddy Riley and the New Jack's 1:24:56.160 --> 1:24:58.280 Swing movement at the Grammys, I was like, all right, 1:24:58.720 --> 1:25:00.640 that's homage, you know what I mean? When you won 1:25:00.760 --> 1:25:03.160 that the award, I was like, Okay, here, it's the truth. 1:25:03.520 --> 1:25:06.920 There's no it's like, it's not a it's not a secret. 1:25:07.040 --> 1:25:09.559 Like I said, we were in the inspiration on a sleeve. 1:25:09.800 --> 1:25:12.759 What is the point if we If us as musicians 1:25:12.840 --> 1:25:14.800 can't learn from the guys that have come before us, 1:25:14.840 --> 1:25:17.280 why did they do it? And I hope later on 1:25:17.439 --> 1:25:20.599 down the road there's gonna be a band that's taking 1:25:20.800 --> 1:25:23.400 what we did and flipping that and freaking that and 1:25:23.840 --> 1:25:26.320 putting their own spin on it. Because if they don't, 1:25:28.160 --> 1:25:30.680 then what was the point of us doing this? If 1:25:30.720 --> 1:25:33.719 we playing basketball. If you can't learn from Michael Jordan, 1:25:34.120 --> 1:25:36.200 what was the point of him doing that? Why can't 1:25:36.200 --> 1:25:38.120 you take oh, why can't you learn all these tricks 1:25:38.160 --> 1:25:40.720 that this man did the greatest of all time and 1:25:40.880 --> 1:25:44.200 learn how he did uh this three point or this 1:25:44.520 --> 1:25:51.320 uh fade away, which Kobe did exactly exactly and as 1:25:51.400 --> 1:25:54.920 he should, because that's the blueprint. This man showed you 1:25:55.040 --> 1:25:58.080 how to do it. Does that criticism pish you off? Now? 1:25:58.120 --> 1:26:00.240 It comes with the gig and I and this this 1:26:00.360 --> 1:26:05.800 real merit to what people are saying about black entertainer's 1:26:05.840 --> 1:26:08.160 not getting their flowers, you know, and and I'm I'm 1:26:08.240 --> 1:26:11.519 I'm I'm champion with that. I'm with that. But it's 1:26:11.600 --> 1:26:15.639 more so I guess at the time when it kind 1:26:15.680 --> 1:26:17.880 of popped off on the Internet, I was looking in 1:26:17.920 --> 1:26:19.880 the manor like, what am I not seeing? Where is this? 1:26:20.760 --> 1:26:22.760 Where is this pass that I that I do? I 1:26:22.840 --> 1:26:24.600 have to see ass that I don't know about it? 1:26:25.320 --> 1:26:28.200 And where can I get this pass? Because like I 1:26:28.360 --> 1:26:31.040 use something for me and my friends. You know, at 1:26:31.080 --> 1:26:35.320 the time, it was that was it, But I understand 1:26:35.680 --> 1:26:39.400 and it's just it's just it's Twitter. Yeah, have you 1:26:39.479 --> 1:26:45.040 adjusted to being a superstar man. Nah, it's not because 1:26:45.080 --> 1:26:47.200 I don't. I just do music, that's all since I 1:26:47.320 --> 1:26:49.680 was a baby, and I don't look at myself as 1:26:49.720 --> 1:26:52.400 a superstar. So all I want to do is doing music. 1:26:52.479 --> 1:26:54.600 And to me, success is doing what you love. And 1:26:54.720 --> 1:26:57.400 I love doing music and I love being able to 1:26:57.479 --> 1:27:00.360 provide for my family doing what I love. Where's the 1:27:00.400 --> 1:27:02.160 last time you've been to a strip club? Show him? 1:27:02.280 --> 1:27:03.880 You know, he came to Jersey Girls with me one day. 1:27:04.400 --> 1:27:09.400 That was a long time, definitely right. I was surprised 1:27:09.439 --> 1:27:10.880 he woke in there. I don't even think I was. 1:27:11.120 --> 1:27:14.240 I don't think I was of age. I think I 1:27:14.280 --> 1:27:16.280 showed him a Blockbuster car and guy was a yeah, 1:27:16.280 --> 1:27:21.200 you're good. Come on. You know it has been a 1:27:21.280 --> 1:27:23.439 pandemic and I know you guys have been ripping and 1:27:23.760 --> 1:27:25.880 running for years now, and I really had a chance 1:27:25.920 --> 1:27:29.479 to sit down. Was there an upside to actually having 1:27:29.560 --> 1:27:32.719 some time to maybe not have to be on tour 1:27:33.080 --> 1:27:34.960 and doing all of that? Did you learn anything new 1:27:35.000 --> 1:27:38.000 about yourselves? Slowing down with special because you get to 1:27:38.080 --> 1:27:40.639 hold onto this energy and we're in the world that's 1:27:40.680 --> 1:27:44.280 going so fast, so fast that this, uh, sometimes you 1:27:44.320 --> 1:27:47.320 gotta take a break and I think Quarantine forced everybody 1:27:47.360 --> 1:27:50.360 to unplug a little bit and reevaluate what's important in life. 1:27:50.920 --> 1:27:54.040 And I think it's why we're rolling out this album 1:27:54.120 --> 1:27:56.160 the way we're rolling it out. We don't want one 1:27:56.240 --> 1:28:00.200 week of trending on Twitter and you know we've we 1:28:00.280 --> 1:28:02.360 worked too hard for that. We want to drop these 1:28:02.400 --> 1:28:05.080 songs one at a time and read the room. Yeah. 1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:07.760 I like this energy, man. I like the energy between y'all. 1:28:08.000 --> 1:28:10.960 I really do. It's like a cool buddy cop like, yeah, 1:28:12.479 --> 1:28:14.760 it's something there. Man. Why do y'all name the first 1:28:14.800 --> 1:28:22.560 single Bruce Lee Roy? We see we still sign me, 1:28:22.600 --> 1:28:25.080 but we couldn't name the fan Bruce Lee and whooping 1:28:25.160 --> 1:28:29.360 your ass? Whooping your ass. I now shout to Bruno 1:28:29.479 --> 1:28:31.880 Mars and Anderson Pack for joining us today. Make sure 1:28:31.920 --> 1:28:34.040 you stream and pick up the joint that new single, 1:28:34.240 --> 1:28:36.680 leave the Door Open. Now, we got rumors on the way, yes, 1:28:36.720 --> 1:28:39.080 and let's talk about new music. There's a lot happening 1:28:39.439 --> 1:28:41.479 this Friday, all right, we'll get into that next. It's 1:28:41.520 --> 1:28:49.439 the Breakfast Club, Go Mornings, the Breakfast Club Husband, you 1:28:49.560 --> 1:28:54.719 know coming up next on the Breakfast Club. Now, before 1:28:54.760 --> 1:28:56.599 we even get into that, I just want to point 1:28:56.640 --> 1:28:59.639 out that now Facebook streams of music videos will officially 1:28:59.720 --> 1:29:02.600 count toward the Billboard charts. Well, that's something new, and 1:29:02.640 --> 1:29:05.120 it's a big deal. Artists deserve recognition and music charts 1:29:05.200 --> 1:29:07.959 for the social capital they drive and the social discovery 1:29:08.000 --> 1:29:10.080 they fuel. That's with the VP of Business Development and 1:29:10.120 --> 1:29:13.400 Partnerships at Facebook had to say so, adding music video 1:29:13.439 --> 1:29:15.839 plays on Facebook to the Billboard charts is an important 1:29:15.840 --> 1:29:19.679 step in the right direction. I concurd you too already 1:29:19.720 --> 1:29:22.240 does there? Right? Ye? All right, Now, let's discuss some 1:29:22.360 --> 1:29:24.960 new music. We already talked about Drake a whole lot 1:29:25.040 --> 1:29:28.200 in his three pack that came out. But let's play 1:29:28.320 --> 1:29:30.040 the one time we haven't been playing on the radio, 1:29:30.080 --> 1:29:32.519 and that is a Lemon Pepper freestyle featuring Rick Ross. 1:29:32.960 --> 1:29:35.200 Dropped them off in school, big day for my little 1:29:35.240 --> 1:29:38.800 man recess. His daddy probably made another hymn school bell 1:29:38.880 --> 1:29:43.000 Rings and I'm out there and get him again. Yeah, 1:29:43.479 --> 1:29:46.680 teach a pair of media's wilds g Willia, regardless of 1:29:46.720 --> 1:29:49.200 what their husbands do to provide asking if I know 1:29:49.320 --> 1:29:54.400 Beyonce and Nicki Minaj, of course, pull up to the 1:29:54.479 --> 1:29:57.479 front and a fleet of suburbans flooded French emergiment with 1:29:57.560 --> 1:30:00.880 the Secret Service. This so obviously to treat the purpose. 1:30:01.320 --> 1:30:03.519 I'm telling you, when Drake raps, he's one of the best. 1:30:03.640 --> 1:30:04.840 You know what I mean, that's what I want. I 1:30:04.920 --> 1:30:06.920 want to I want an album you know, full of 1:30:07.000 --> 1:30:08.880 Drake rapping. I mean, he can do that now, Like 1:30:09.000 --> 1:30:11.680 you know, he's already Drake, he's home already, like me, 1:30:11.800 --> 1:30:13.920 let me hit him bars. People don't matter what you want, 1:30:14.000 --> 1:30:15.640 it matter what he wants to do. Well, I'm just 1:30:15.720 --> 1:30:18.840 telling what I want. I mean, I like. I like 1:30:18.960 --> 1:30:22.320 that versatility though, because you know, as a consumer as well. 1:30:22.360 --> 1:30:25.240 I like when he sings too. I like those songs also, 1:30:25.600 --> 1:30:27.680 it's a mood, so I like a variety of it. 1:30:27.840 --> 1:30:29.479 I like how like Lauren. We were just talking about 1:30:29.520 --> 1:30:33.040 Lauren hill Um. I had this conversation with Danielle Smith 1:30:33.080 --> 1:30:35.360 about how she was singing Anna rapping, how dope that was, 1:30:36.160 --> 1:30:38.040 And I feel like he does the same thing. I 1:30:38.080 --> 1:30:40.840 could write a whole thesis on that one line. These days, 1:30:41.000 --> 1:30:43.759 fame is disconnected from excellence half the time, I gotta 1:30:43.760 --> 1:30:46.000 ask the thinking what their profession is like. That is 1:30:46.320 --> 1:30:49.519 very true, favoring excellent excellence and not synonymous with each 1:30:49.520 --> 1:30:51.760 other at all. Now, as we just pointed out to 1:30:52.000 --> 1:30:54.639 Sonic put out their first song leave the Door Open. 1:30:54.680 --> 1:30:57.840 That's Bruno Mars and Anderson Pack Tyler the creator tell 1:30:57.880 --> 1:31:00.479 me how it's Coca Cola commercial. Also Clever Her featuring 1:31:00.560 --> 1:31:03.760 Juice World and Post Malone. Life's a Mess. Sweetie put 1:31:03.800 --> 1:31:06.800 out the Best Friend's Remix with Doja Cat and stephlon Don. 1:31:06.920 --> 1:31:09.360 I like that song. She's also giving away a Tesla 1:31:09.479 --> 1:31:11.360 by the way, so there's a whole thing going on. 1:31:11.520 --> 1:31:13.960 I think you have like a month, a little month 1:31:14.000 --> 1:31:15.160 and a half left if you want to win a 1:31:15.200 --> 1:31:19.240 free Tesla from Sweetie Young Dolphin key Glock ask Benji Herbo, 1:31:19.800 --> 1:31:22.479 I really like that and break yourself, Baby Kim, this 1:31:22.640 --> 1:31:31.160 is dope, no sense you do you celebrate? What's your 1:31:31.200 --> 1:31:37.920 friendsty what's your friend style? What's your man? Stop? They 1:31:37.960 --> 1:31:40.360 don't let me catch your mama hands Doyle, it's a 1:31:40.479 --> 1:31:43.719 thousand always a miss, understand up, it's a thousand always 1:31:43.760 --> 1:31:45.680 that we can make a man stop and drop on 1:31:45.720 --> 1:31:47.720 a clues boss with Baby Kane, Baby Kame, so dope. 1:31:47.760 --> 1:31:50.360 We don't put me on Baby Kam Actually little Dickey, 1:31:51.520 --> 1:31:54.680 Little Dickey, puby old baby Kam some years ago. He 1:31:54.840 --> 1:31:56.360 was just like, are you should listening to Baby Keene 1:31:56.400 --> 1:31:57.880 Baby Kames. I was like, Kendrick if he was doing 1:31:57.920 --> 1:32:00.280 trap music, Baby ki Yea and they're related to, right, 1:32:00.400 --> 1:32:02.280 isn't that his cousin or something? And I think I 1:32:02.360 --> 1:32:04.400 think he's signed to Kendrick now, Kendrick and Dave Free. 1:32:04.439 --> 1:32:06.760 I think on quote Baby keeping it low, you know, 1:32:06.960 --> 1:32:09.880 and Pop Smoke Fashion featuring Polo g from the Boogie 1:32:09.960 --> 1:32:13.080 soundtrack and Pop Smokes No Cap featuring M twenty four 1:32:13.120 --> 1:32:15.759 of the remix from the Boogie soundtrack. Also a new album, 1:32:15.960 --> 1:32:19.920 Some Little Dirk from OTF and K Camp's Crew, which 1:32:20.000 --> 1:32:22.599 is rare sound squad. They did like a deluxe album, 1:32:22.720 --> 1:32:26.200 a deluxe edition of their album Tory Lane's Playboy, a 1:32:26.280 --> 1:32:27.920 whole lot of new music. I can't even get to 1:32:27.960 --> 1:32:29.280 all of it, but I just wanted to give you 1:32:29.360 --> 1:32:33.960 guys just some previews of what's happening. I want to 1:32:34.000 --> 1:32:36.160 salute the Tink too man. Tink put out a record 1:32:36.200 --> 1:32:39.240 called Bottom oh Man that sounds so dope. Yes, Tink 1:32:39.280 --> 1:32:41.800 bottom Bitch. I love tanks music. Yeah. I love like 1:32:41.920 --> 1:32:45.439 how she's early early early. Her music sounds way different 1:32:45.479 --> 1:32:48.479 now though not really. She's just gotten better. Like Tink, 1:32:48.520 --> 1:32:50.960 been one of my favorite artists since Timberland introduced me 1:32:51.000 --> 1:32:53.080 to it, and she never stops working and she's just 1:32:53.200 --> 1:32:56.120 only gotten better. Her sound is just evolved. But it's 1:32:56.120 --> 1:32:57.720 just a matter of time for Tink to pop off. 1:32:57.760 --> 1:33:00.160 I saw JT from the City Girls shot in the 1:33:00.280 --> 1:33:02.560 Rocks and she can't wait to collaborate with her on 1:33:02.640 --> 1:33:04.479 the next project. And Cardi was big in her up 1:33:04.560 --> 1:33:06.439 last week, so it's only a matter. Yeah, I think 1:33:06.720 --> 1:33:09.000 this is Tin Sierra. I believe, I hope. So she's 1:33:09.000 --> 1:33:12.800 still so sure. No, she didn't part of it to me. 1:33:13.000 --> 1:33:14.640 All right now, Envy, this story is for you. We 1:33:14.760 --> 1:33:16.800 had to make sure we get to this. So Chris 1:33:16.920 --> 1:33:20.439 Harrison from The Bachelor, he wants to go back to 1:33:20.560 --> 1:33:24.160 hosting The Bachelor franchise, and he had to backtrack on 1:33:24.240 --> 1:33:26.959 some remarks that he made. He had to take a hiatus. 1:33:27.080 --> 1:33:29.400 He made a mistake talking to Rachel Lindsay about some 1:33:29.479 --> 1:33:33.400 photos that surface of another Bachelor contestant Rachel at a 1:33:33.640 --> 1:33:37.200 twenty eighteen Antebellum South party. Here's what the original audio was. 1:33:37.640 --> 1:33:39.240 We all need to have a little grace, a little 1:33:39.320 --> 1:33:42.960 understanding a little compassionate. It's not a good well, Rachel, 1:33:43.200 --> 1:33:44.920 is it a good look in twenty eighteen or is 1:33:44.960 --> 1:33:47.160 it not a good look in twenty twenty one. Who 1:33:47.280 --> 1:33:49.000 how'd you feel when you heard that envy? I mean 1:33:49.040 --> 1:33:50.760 it was foul. I mean, this is the thing with 1:33:51.200 --> 1:33:53.679 people like that. When he first made a death statement, 1:33:53.720 --> 1:33:55.840 he doubled down, and he tripled down on what he said, 1:33:56.280 --> 1:33:58.360 and when he got the backlash, then all of a sudden, 1:33:58.360 --> 1:34:00.479 oh my gosh, I was wrong. That was foul. Like 1:34:00.960 --> 1:34:02.599 it is what it is. That's what you believe, that's 1:34:02.600 --> 1:34:05.080 what you honestly believe. Stick with you. Well, he was 1:34:05.120 --> 1:34:09.720 on Good Morning America, and here he is taking accountability. 1:34:10.120 --> 1:34:14.479 I am saddened and shocked at how insensitive I was 1:34:14.560 --> 1:34:17.519 in that interview with Rachel Lindsay. And I didn't speak 1:34:17.600 --> 1:34:20.439 from my heart, and that is to say, I stand 1:34:20.600 --> 1:34:24.800 against all forms of racism, and I am deeply sorry. 1:34:25.160 --> 1:34:28.599 I am not a victim here. I made a mistake 1:34:29.080 --> 1:34:31.720 and I own that. Yeah, he takes accountability because he 1:34:31.760 --> 1:34:33.920 got all the backlash and almost lost his job. That's 1:34:33.920 --> 1:34:35.560 the reason why he's taking the back of you know, 1:34:35.600 --> 1:34:37.920 the accountability. But he doubled the people down when he 1:34:38.000 --> 1:34:40.840 did that. Innyview, well, Rachel Lindsay is saying she does 1:34:40.920 --> 1:34:43.320 accept his apology because it's what she needs to do 1:34:43.439 --> 1:34:45.479 to move forward with her life. She said she has 1:34:45.520 --> 1:34:48.719 not spoken to Chris directly since his Good Morning America interview, 1:34:48.760 --> 1:34:50.680 but she did watch it, and she did tell less 1:34:50.680 --> 1:34:52.960 they spoke about three weeks ago when it first happened, 1:34:53.200 --> 1:34:55.800 and he apologized directly then too, So that's what she 1:34:55.880 --> 1:34:58.160 told TMZ. And I feel bad for Rachel Man because 1:34:58.160 --> 1:35:01.000 they've been attacking her. They've been, you know, they have 1:35:01.240 --> 1:35:03.519 threatening her, they've been sending her death threats and all that. 1:35:03.600 --> 1:35:05.240 And all she did was did all she did was 1:35:05.280 --> 1:35:07.920 do a great interview. So shout to Rachel. I don't 1:35:07.960 --> 1:35:09.760 know anything about what you're talking about, but I think 1:35:09.800 --> 1:35:12.439 it's hilarious when people don't accept other people's apologies. I 1:35:12.520 --> 1:35:16.320 think it's incredible because there's nothing funnier than watching the 1:35:16.400 --> 1:35:19.280 person who apologized. Do you accept my apologies? And process? No, 1:35:21.400 --> 1:35:24.160 what do you do? But when you apologize, you got 1:35:24.479 --> 1:35:25.920 it got to be from the heart, like you really 1:35:25.960 --> 1:35:28.680 got to understand it. You can't just apologize because you're 1:35:28.720 --> 1:35:32.559 getting backlash and party is it Rachel Lindsay Van Lathan's 1:35:32.600 --> 1:35:36.559 co host Yes on his podcast, Yes Higher Learning Podcast, 1:35:36.960 --> 1:35:39.559 because I saw him talking about them attacking her shout 1:35:39.640 --> 1:35:41.320 the Van Van stood up for her. Man. I appreciate 1:35:41.400 --> 1:35:43.599 that he really held it down. Man, you care about 1:35:43.640 --> 1:35:46.120 the Bachelor. You don't care about no damn Rachel, No, 1:35:46.320 --> 1:35:48.200 I do. I mean, I love my people and I 1:35:48.280 --> 1:35:49.840 want my people to win. And I love the fact 1:35:49.840 --> 1:35:51.960 that you did try to get Chris Harrison's job too. 1:35:52.600 --> 1:35:56.080 Oh you did? You did? You? I was joking serious, 1:35:57.120 --> 1:35:59.280 you was dead serious. I know you send some emails 1:35:59.280 --> 1:36:02.120 to the networking everything. Well, salute the Rachel. I don't 1:36:02.160 --> 1:36:03.920 know what's going on. I have no idea, but I 1:36:04.000 --> 1:36:09.680 stand with you. All right, Well that is your well, 1:36:09.720 --> 1:36:11.840 you must have really send some emails. I was kidding, 1:36:11.920 --> 1:36:15.000 but your reaction lets me know you did hold on email. 1:36:15.680 --> 1:36:17.559 You don't know this, nigga. You think he didn't really 1:36:17.600 --> 1:36:20.840 send me. He definitely did because he wasn't sure if 1:36:20.920 --> 1:36:25.559 I knew or not. You told you think Rashawn Casey 1:36:25.600 --> 1:36:28.160 didn't send emails for real, for real. When Rashawn said 1:36:28.200 --> 1:36:30.759 he wants something, he going to try to get something. Okay, 1:36:30.840 --> 1:36:34.360 trust me, I know Bobby sent a demo and everything. 1:36:34.720 --> 1:36:36.439 I just want you to know he was on the 1:36:36.479 --> 1:36:41.320 Breakfast club like this.

Try tocredit him first of all, opportunity, 1:36:56.800 --> 1:36:59.000 just use the N word. I'm sorry, but anyone checked 1:36:59.040 --> 1:37:00.960 you yesterday when that man came up here.

So, as you know, this is Women's History 1:38:52.240 --> 1:38:55.040 Month and I'm highlighting powerful women all month. And one 1:38:55.080 --> 1:38:59.080 person I wanted to bring to the front is Nicky Walton, 1:38:59.520 --> 1:39:01.720 a kid Curly Nikki, And as she does have a 1:39:01.760 --> 1:39:04.320 semit happening this weekend, we'll talk about that, but first 1:39:04.600 --> 1:39:06.320 I want Nikki to just talk about who she is, 1:39:06.360 --> 1:39:09.760 a best selling author, license psychotherapist, all of that. Yes, Yes, 1:39:09.840 --> 1:39:11.800 So I started curly nikki dot com back in two 1:39:11.840 --> 1:39:14.560 thousand and eight. I managed to get myself on the 1:39:14.640 --> 1:39:18.160 Tyra Banks Show and this website took off tremendously in 1:39:18.240 --> 1:39:20.760 a very short time. I was sharing my story, my 1:39:20.960 --> 1:39:23.439 journey to self love from self hate. I didn't like 1:39:23.600 --> 1:39:26.280 my hair, I didn't like my skin, and I just 1:39:26.640 --> 1:39:29.200 I wanted to learn to love myself for who I 1:39:29.280 --> 1:39:32.000 really was. And as I continued that journey and continued 1:39:32.080 --> 1:39:35.920 sharing it became a phenomenon, and I wrote a best 1:39:35.960 --> 1:39:39.120 selling book with HarperCollins. In twenty thirteen, I began working 1:39:39.200 --> 1:39:42.439 with Steve Harvey with Doctor Oz. I continue to work 1:39:42.479 --> 1:39:45.519 with Doctor Oz to this day, sharing about outer beauty. 1:39:45.800 --> 1:39:48.479 But during that whole time, during that rise, during my 1:39:48.760 --> 1:39:51.679 peak of success with Curly Nikki dot Com, I wasn't happy. 1:39:51.800 --> 1:39:54.400 I had everything that they told me I was supposed 1:39:54.439 --> 1:39:57.519 to have to be happy, but I wasn't. Family, house, 1:39:57.680 --> 1:40:01.680 nice car, the career, the success, bestseller's list, but I 1:40:01.800 --> 1:40:04.360 didn't feel fulfilled, and every day kind of felt the same. 1:40:04.400 --> 1:40:07.479 I felt stuck, I felt stagnant, and I actually I 1:40:07.560 --> 1:40:10.880 called Tracy Ellis Ross sobbing weeping one day because I'm like, 1:40:10.960 --> 1:40:13.000 there must be more, there has to be more to 1:40:13.120 --> 1:40:16.040 life than just this, and She's like, you can't just 1:40:16.439 --> 1:40:18.920 wad like in the kiddie pool. You have to go 1:40:19.080 --> 1:40:21.599 deeper in your journey, your true journey, your inner journey. Yes, 1:40:21.960 --> 1:40:24.360 you love yourself more, your physical self more, but you 1:40:24.439 --> 1:40:26.840 have to find out what is also there. So it 1:40:27.040 --> 1:40:29.519 was like mid twenty thirteen when I went deeper and 1:40:29.640 --> 1:40:33.559 I started reading at Cartole, Power of Now and Michael 1:40:33.600 --> 1:40:37.080 Singer and then about six hundred more books, six hundred 1:40:37.160 --> 1:40:40.200 more authors. I traveled the world, Yeah, traveled the world, 1:40:40.439 --> 1:40:43.200 all over the world, from Brazil to Africa to Spain, 1:40:43.320 --> 1:40:47.639 trying to find happiness, true peace inside, and I finally did, 1:40:47.760 --> 1:40:49.840 and I could see that no matter what temple I 1:40:49.960 --> 1:40:51.800 was in, what plane, I was on, what street I 1:40:52.000 --> 1:40:55.760 was walking down, that peace was already always here. And 1:40:56.080 --> 1:40:59.280 so I started sharing about that on Instagram and on 1:40:59.320 --> 1:41:02.240 curly Nikki dot com, this hair blog that never really 1:41:02.439 --> 1:41:04.759 was just about hair and was always an inner journey 1:41:04.800 --> 1:41:08.639 to freedom. But I began sharing reluctantly this piece because 1:41:08.640 --> 1:41:10.680 I wanted to help the women that look like me 1:41:10.960 --> 1:41:13.840 find the same freedom that I was finding. And I 1:41:13.960 --> 1:41:16.800 knew I was free for real when I was with 1:41:17.120 --> 1:41:19.160 my grandmother, who was my best friend in the whole 1:41:19.200 --> 1:41:22.000 white world, and she was taking her last breath, and 1:41:22.240 --> 1:41:24.040 that was like the moment that I had dreaded my 1:41:24.120 --> 1:41:26.400 whole life. And so I'm there in that moment, and 1:41:26.520 --> 1:41:28.800 the piece was there too, even though there was grief, 1:41:29.720 --> 1:41:31.720 I could fill that piece in the background. And so 1:41:32.000 --> 1:41:34.880 I began sharing and under the hashtag be her Now, 1:41:35.479 --> 1:41:40.040 and it became a very powerful hashtag. Many women got 1:41:40.080 --> 1:41:43.360 it tattooed on them thousands of dms, where these very 1:41:43.439 --> 1:41:47.240 successful entrepreneurial women CEOs of companies are messaging me like 1:41:47.320 --> 1:41:49.759 I'm not happy. How can I find this piece inside? 1:41:50.200 --> 1:41:54.080 And yeah, that is my journey, and it's the journey 1:41:54.439 --> 1:41:56.400 that I know. We all have our different paths, but 1:41:56.520 --> 1:42:00.439 we're going to the same destination, which is recognizing that 1:42:00.840 --> 1:42:03.680 we have everything we need in us already and that 1:42:03.800 --> 1:42:07.360 this piece is always already here. So first, let's start 1:42:07.439 --> 1:42:11.240 with hair, right as a representation, because I think so 1:42:11.400 --> 1:42:14.640 many women, especially black women, we have issues with our hair. 1:42:14.760 --> 1:42:16.400 I know, growing up, I used to hate that my 1:42:16.479 --> 1:42:18.880 hair was curly. It was crazy all the time. I 1:42:18.920 --> 1:42:20.800 didn't know what to do with it. And so I 1:42:20.920 --> 1:42:23.000 do want to talk about how hair is a representation 1:42:23.080 --> 1:42:26.240 of not just something superficial like people might think, because 1:42:26.240 --> 1:42:27.840 people have a lot of things to say about our hair. 1:42:27.920 --> 1:42:32.000 It's of course, you know, yeah, just culturally how we're viewed. 1:42:32.120 --> 1:42:34.519 How you have to even have the crown act right, 1:42:34.600 --> 1:42:36.839 because women are looked a different way in the workspace 1:42:36.920 --> 1:42:39.280 if you have a certain type of hair. Ado, So 1:42:39.479 --> 1:42:41.400 let's talk about that a little bit and just how 1:42:41.439 --> 1:42:43.160 you got to that journey where you were able to 1:42:43.240 --> 1:42:46.320 embrace your hair because your hair is amazing and beautiful. 1:42:46.320 --> 1:42:48.600 I love it. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I did not, 1:42:48.800 --> 1:42:50.840 and I actually never had a relax or growing up. 1:42:50.880 --> 1:42:53.160 It was always present curl, but it was always wait. 1:42:53.240 --> 1:42:55.240 It was always present curled until I got to college. 1:42:55.479 --> 1:42:57.320 But it was an all white school. There were no 1:42:57.520 --> 1:42:59.679 black stylus up there, and I was left on my own. 1:42:59.800 --> 1:43:01.799 But I didn't like the fact that I was always 1:43:01.880 --> 1:43:05.800 concerned about my hair. So knowing that I knew I 1:43:05.920 --> 1:43:08.479 had to take control of learning about it because we 1:43:08.600 --> 1:43:10.960 weren't taught how to care for our hair. But to 1:43:11.120 --> 1:43:13.400 be able to feel just as confident and comfortable and 1:43:13.439 --> 1:43:15.759 beautiful with your own hair, no matter if it's pulled 1:43:15.800 --> 1:43:18.360 back or out and curly or you have it straightened, 1:43:18.640 --> 1:43:21.439 that's a powerful place to be. Now, let's discuss you 1:43:21.720 --> 1:43:24.280 and how you felt like you were unhappy, and I 1:43:24.400 --> 1:43:26.080 feel you on that right. You had a best selling 1:43:26.400 --> 1:43:28.800 better than Good Hair girl. You got everything, you got 1:43:28.880 --> 1:43:31.439 this going on, and you feel like you should be happy, 1:43:31.439 --> 1:43:33.560 and then you feel a little ungrateful that you're not, 1:43:33.800 --> 1:43:36.360 and you're like, like there's people who aren't doing what 1:43:36.439 --> 1:43:38.439 they want to do. There's people who are out there struggling. 1:43:38.479 --> 1:43:41.080 How dare I be ungrateful? So talk about how you 1:43:41.200 --> 1:43:43.720 came to that realization and what you did to kind 1:43:43.760 --> 1:43:45.960 of overcome that. Yeah, you know, I love that you 1:43:46.080 --> 1:43:49.200 touched on like that ungratefulness, because for me, I would 1:43:49.280 --> 1:43:52.360 hear like, okay, practice gratitude, practice gratitude. I had a journal, 1:43:52.600 --> 1:43:57.160 and I never felt grateful, like genuine gratitude. It always 1:43:57.240 --> 1:43:59.920 felt forced, and I knew that that was a major problem. 1:44:00.560 --> 1:44:02.800 And as I went deeper and would sit, I would 1:44:02.840 --> 1:44:05.439 meditate girl for like two three hours a day, and 1:44:05.520 --> 1:44:07.280 I was blessed enough to have a lifestyle to be 1:44:07.360 --> 1:44:09.280 able to read all the time and meditate all the time. 1:44:09.520 --> 1:44:12.280 And I started seeing that true gratitude is not a 1:44:12.400 --> 1:44:15.320 human quality, it's a soul quality, It's a God quality. 1:44:15.520 --> 1:44:17.400 So the more I got quiet and tapped into that 1:44:17.840 --> 1:44:23.080 more quiet place within that natural gratitude, that natural compassion, 1:44:23.160 --> 1:44:26.840 like true love, God love, just started coming from that place. 1:44:27.200 --> 1:44:29.400 And so all of a sudden, it wasn't like I 1:44:29.520 --> 1:44:32.800 was forcing myself to be grateful for the beautiful opportunities 1:44:32.840 --> 1:44:36.040 that had been given. It was I'm grateful in this 1:44:36.320 --> 1:44:39.280 moment for goodwifi to be able to speak with you. 1:44:39.400 --> 1:44:42.000 I'm grateful for you know this microphone, you know that's 1:44:42.040 --> 1:44:44.880 delivering my voice in you know this chair that's supporting me. 1:44:45.000 --> 1:44:48.439 So like coming into the present moment is what helped me. 1:44:48.840 --> 1:44:51.920 I just had to recognize it and practice it in 1:44:52.200 --> 1:44:54.920 every moment and then it becomes your lifestyle. And it's 1:44:54.960 --> 1:44:57.280 just as natural now for me to feel grateful as 1:44:57.320 --> 1:44:59.599 it was for me to feel ungrateful ten years ago. 1:45:00.040 --> 1:45:02.519 So right now, there are so many people going through 1:45:02.600 --> 1:45:05.000 so many different things, and it has been hard for 1:45:05.000 --> 1:45:06.519 people to take care of themselves. We have a lot 1:45:06.600 --> 1:45:10.439 of stress in our minds. So let's talk about why 1:45:10.560 --> 1:45:13.360 this summit it will be beneficial and what's happening at 1:45:13.400 --> 1:45:15.840 this be Her Summit. And so the be Her Summit 1:45:16.160 --> 1:45:21.320 is shifting, helping women shift into this and staying here, 1:45:21.720 --> 1:45:25.040 staying her the best version, the whole version of yourself, 1:45:25.240 --> 1:45:27.840 and the summit is going to take five entry points, 1:45:27.880 --> 1:45:33.240 recovering creativity, spirituality, entrepreneurship, beauty and wellness, meeting people wherever 1:45:33.400 --> 1:45:37.040 they are, wherever their passions lie. But the threat that's 1:45:37.080 --> 1:45:40.080 tying it all together is that you are recognizing your 1:45:40.200 --> 1:45:43.120 wholeness and that you have everything you need within you already. 1:45:43.360 --> 1:45:46.040 You're just opening out a way for it to get 1:45:46.040 --> 1:45:49.360 out here in the world.
