Good morning, 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.720 it absolutely is. How you fair out there? I feel blessed, 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.760 Black and Holly favorite. What about you? Yes? I feel amazing. 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.319 I feel great. You know, I'm a big fan of Brooklyn, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.119 where I'm from, where I still live. But what I'm 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.959 about to say will make people never want to move 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.600 to Brooklyn. But this morning was rough. I have to 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.880 first of all, today is one of the worst days 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.560 I had to park like three blocks for my house 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.520 because I got home late last night. There's no parking 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.000 on the street, and it's not like we have driveways. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.320 You're nervous walking three blocks away from your house and 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.320 you gotta walk to the crier bikes all no, no, 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.120 not a name, Okay, no. But the worst part is 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.440 going in the morning. And I don't be scared of people. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.280 I'd be scared of rats. And today was garbage pickup day, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.520 and so that's always a scary time to be walking 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.000 in the dark when no one's outside to your car. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.120 I'm more scared of that than anything you got pepper sprayed, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.520 mace or something like that. But the rats for people, 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.600 I just told you when I'm more scared of I'm 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.440 just saying. But I do still love Brooklyn. But I 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.600 know it's not attractive to hear that. But yes, there's 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.200 a lot of rats on the street on garbage pickup day. 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.360 Did y'all see is supposed to snow here in the 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.360 Try State on Wednesday? Y'all see? People in Miami don't care. 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.960 People in Miami, Like, that's why I need to move 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:04.960 the floor to people in Miami. They have to care. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.880 The reason I say that it's because of my cars. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.679 They have to care because of your cars, because of 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.400 your car Showy Cotely, my car show. I got all 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.400 these cars going down, almost missed the truck, so because 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:17.799 the truck was supposed to pick up on Wednesday. But 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.400 of course we can't get it through these snows. So 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.040 we have to actually start packing them and loading them 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.840 today and tomorrow.

We sold thousands and thousands of tickets 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:31.880 and I didn't want to cancel because of the snow. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.280 So yeah, and people lost them. My friend from Miami 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.600 staying with me right now. People love snow. They do 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.880 because look, she's from Miami and she doesn't get to 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.160 see snow. So she's like, I hope it snows while 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.280 I'm here because I never get to see that in Miami. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.680 Snow is like grandkids. Snow is like grandkids.

Allegedly. In the video, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.760 you can see the cameraman walking down the street toward 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.120 a house that Katopo is wearing a black PlayStation five 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.359 T shirt.

Seeing That reported that Katupo contacted 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.440 the decoy miner on Grinder that's a dating app for gay, 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.720 by trans and queer people. They exchanged pictures and Katupo 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.440 told the decoy his name was Jeff and then allegedly 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.400 gave his address in order to have sex with the 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.880 alleged fifteen year old boy, according to seeing this review 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.520 of the log, So they actually have posted the conversation 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.360 that they had and it's pretty I'll tell you one thing. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.560 The catch the Catcher Predator clearly isn't as sophisticated as 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.640 it once was with all that scream and Chris Hansen 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.400 used to be way more calm when he used to 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.680 catch the pedophile some cookies. Of course he can get 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.599 arrested for that, right. What would he be charged with? 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:58.839 Could he be talking about he's a pedophile? Envy? What 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.039 are you talking about? What would he beach? Because I 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.640 don't I don't know what the charge is because you 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.280 know he was caught about to do the act, you 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:05.520 know what I mean? So I don't know what the 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.720 charges are, right well, listen, the thing is that they 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.200 did exchange pictures, right allegedly, and then they have and 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.680 then they have the conversation. The decoy is saying, I'm 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.160 finally fifteen, l ol. I think we talked before. So 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.960 even the idea that you're going to meet with a 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.400 fifteen year old somebody you think is a fifteen year old, 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.960 and then he says, are you really fifteen? And then 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.720 he said, I just turned fifteen two weeks ago? And well, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.000 what was the charge on the ketchup predator? Because they 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.080 used to get arrested. I mean, there's no charge. You 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.560 can't like, what's the charge? Is the attempt? Is it? 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.520 You know? I'm just curious. I forgot what the actual 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.160 charge to get arrested on the catchup predator? And how 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.720 much time could he get for it? You know? Yeah? 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.640 Then are you like a do you have to register 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.600 as a sex defender after that? Yeah? Absolutely?

I don't think he says 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.520 you use that now. He just asked that his name 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.320 is Jeff. That's it Wow.

He just lost 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.280 his job. So now I'm like, come on fire, like 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.559 you're in a situation. I can't I can't keep helping 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.320 you what like this? Yeah, because then that kind of 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.599 enables somebody when they know that you're always going to 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.839 help them out. But no, no no, he said, he's moody 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.000 sometimes around his kids. Sometimes the mood when you know 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.360 his mood changes when the day changes. You don't want 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.120 him to have a nasty or bad mood and he 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.240 takes that out on his son or your son. So 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.400 I mean, I would say, try to get him as 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.160 help as possible. I don't even know which way to 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.400 guide you and send you, but it seems like he 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.640 needs help. But I would be very very careful with him, 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.320 you know, in the crib with with the kids. Oh yeah, no, no, no, 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.880 that when he when I don't that's that situation that 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.880 I keep away like I don't like your keeper. I 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.959 like to like kind of when we with the son. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.880 You know what I'm saying, it's always if he with 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.680 his son, I'm with him with like that. But good, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.000 I brought him to the car sho, I brought him 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:09.880 to your coho the whole thing. I brought him his 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:15.160 son and all that. Well, I would now it's a situation, 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.679 I would definitely suggest that you hit up a place 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.120 that that specializes in addiction treatment to get advice from 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.720 them on how you should handle something like this, because 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.079 they can give you the proper resources. You know, It's 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.679 one thing to want to help somebody, it's another thing 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.360 whether you can point them to someplace that they can 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.760 actually tangibly go to get help. Now they saying, I 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.840 think in Jersey you can't. You can't like um, not 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.959 force them, but like leat them in there like that 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.880 You're going somewhere they got they gotta do a big jump. No, absolutely, 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.640 But what I'm saying is you can call like the 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.720 National Helpline for Substance Abuse and talk to them and 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.080 they can let you know what are some things that 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.320 you can do in a situation like this to try 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.400 to help, and then you can also say, look, you 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.840 need help. Here's a place that I think I would 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.839 commend for you to go to. And they can also 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.760 give you more ideas and how you can convince somebody 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.840 to go get treatment. Yeah, because if you don't, he's 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.720 gonna end up in one of those uh those abandoned homes, 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.679 you know, doing drugs by himself. And and you don't 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.080 doubt ye getting hotels and getting rooms just to get high. 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.800 Like cool man, it's killing me. It's killing me inside. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.920 But it's an addiction though, and and a lot of 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.080 times people can't control it, so it is an addiction.

Because number one, 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.559 what if chimney was the woman's name? And number two 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.680 all it takes is one time boo, Hello, who's this? Tasha? 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.840 Tasha from Jersey Tasha, good morning, get it off your chess. Okay, well, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.760 at first I want to say good morning. Just a 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.440 few things Angela. I love that you're a woman doing 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.440 your things. Dj Envy, I love that you're a family man. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.280 And Charlomagne, you're a really smart man, like you really are. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.720 I love listening to you when you get going on 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.720 any of your conversations. I actually agree with almost everything 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.840 you say. But what I do want to get off 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.920 my point is the story you guys were talking about 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.280 with like the pedophile. Like I used to be a CEO, 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.600 so I know he's definitely going to be charged with 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.720 enticon a minor off the bat, and they'll probably hit 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.400 him with something else for exchanging the pictures. But they 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:01.240 only get like five to six years for simple stuff 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.040 like that, and honestly, I don't think it's fair. I 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.720 think they should get more time because they're going after 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.240 innocent children at the end of the day, and then 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.720 once they get into the prison system, they're still continuing 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.400 their pedophilia. There's still a trade and file because you know, 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.760 they got stuff they're not supposed to, and it's like 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.800 they don't get better, they just get worse and they 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.080 learn the trade better. Let me ask you a questions 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.440 as a CEO. Um, you know once once people know 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.120 there's a pedophile on the yard that they still get 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.880 beat up and stuff. I mean I would say absolutely, 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.200 we don't ask you know, obviously, see it happen. We 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.960 get the aftermasth and um, they have like certain individuals 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.320 that don't walk around they're quite like the Bloody Bandit. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.520 So they find out that you know you're a pedophile, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.000 they're gonna take your butt or they're gonna export you, yeah, 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.680 or they're depending on how bad you are, obviously they're 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.640 gonna you know, teach you up. But they do get 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.400 taken care of. Wow. Well yeah, yeah, I mean listen 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.600 that that is something right. I mean, it's clearly something 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.640 off with with with pedophiles. So what kind of what 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.960 kind of treatment does a pedophile get so when they 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.000 come home, they don't make they don't continue to do that. 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.240 I don't know. I think certain certain prisons they actually 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.720 have programs geared for the pedophiles to help them get 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.880 the treatment. But certain individuals start to say they actually 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.800 recognize what they're doing, they know that it's wrong, but 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.400 they choose to do it anyway. Right, But some of 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.320 them they don't know because they experienced it when they 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.600 were younger, so they don't know any they don't know 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.240 any better. So it's coming half and half. You have 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.360 the individuals with any crime that know what they're doing, 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.560 it's wrong, what they choose to do it anyway. Then 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.640 you have the ones that are really traumatized on their 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:51.000 childhood that just need help. All right, Well, thank you information. Yeah, 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.080 we appreciate that. No problem. You guys have a good 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.320 day all ready. Now get it off your chest. Eight 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.040 hundred five eight five one on five one. We got 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.080 rumors all the way. And let's talk about Jesse's Smallett. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.920 You know, he took the stand in his criminal trial yesterday, 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:07.800 and we'll tell you some of the things that he 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.760 is claiming when it comes to whether or not he 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.720 was attacked in an anti gay and racist attack. All right, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.960 we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:25.040 the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.679 Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.199 Now let's get to the rumors to talk Dan. This 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:42.080 is the Rumor Report with angela year well, Damon Dash 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.760 was on Bootleg Cavs and Bootleg Cavs Show, and one 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.080 of the things that he talked about was some of 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.320 the words and phrases that he invented. Now, in case 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.840 you didn't know, when y'all say, paused, Damon Dash invented 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.480 that if it's coming, wife here it embrace it, Paul monetize, 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:04.000 Oh god, that was called did you invent pause? Yes, 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.600 my crew, the best out, we invented pause for sure. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.200 There's nobody could ever ever say that I didn't know. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.920 That's all that came from my block. It's not meant 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.080 to be offensive. It's always been a personal joke with 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.680 my offense and down the whole world doesn't It's like 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.800 I can't even have a personal joke, you know, everyone 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.840 says people would ask me, I'd be like, I would 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.840 never tell them what it meant. Ever, I'd be like, 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.600 you have to figure it out, that's right. It's one 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.400 of the greatest things ever. Yeah, they created it. It's 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.560 one of the greatest things ever. I love it to 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.960 this day. I just will never go out of it. Yeah, 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.679 it was that and the in the note you know word, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.560 but yeah, they definitely created that. Now he talks about 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.199 a lot of other things that he came up with 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.080 an invented and by the way, he also talks about 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.840 having his own band, having his own artists boot camp. Uh. 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.119 He talks about Kanye and jay Z and some of 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.920 their comments. But here are some other phrases and things 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.399 that he invented, pop tags. I made that one up. Okay, 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.760 I'm the one that named Hova. I made that up. 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:08.920 What was the inspiration for the Hova too? Jahova? You know? So, yeah, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.120 I don't. I can't dispute any of that. I mean 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:12.800 that those are the first The first time I heard 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.000 those phrases was from day so yeah, all right. Now, 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.840 Jesse Smalat took the stand in his criminal trial. You know, 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.159 that's a very risky thing to do because when you 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.520 get cross examined, they are going to put you through it. 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.960 This case is messy. Yes, so he's trying to rebut 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.359 the charges that he staged a fake hate crime and 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.199 lied to the police in Chicago about everything that happened 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.359 in January of twenty nineteen. He was on the stand 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.879 for over five hours, so he denied orchestrating the attack, 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.240 and he said that the brothers who he knew from Empire, 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.000 may have had other motivations at play. One of the 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.920 things that he said was Bola Osandaro, who he calls bond, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.119 helped him get drugs, also helped him get cocaine. He 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.240 also said they had a sexual relationship and that started 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.320 between the two at a particular Chicago bathhouse. One night 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.639 the two were and he testified they got a private 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.520 room and did more drugs and made out. He also 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.080 says that he and Bola snuck away from his brother 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.240 after the three were at a female strip club together 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:11.800 and they got a private room again and made out 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.840 and masturbated together. Now, Bolo Osundaro has denied that they 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.320 had a sexual relationship and said he didn't know that 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:23.560 there was even any sexual tension. And Jesse Smolett also 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.879 talked about the brother Ola. He said he kind of 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.080 creaked me out every time we were around him. He 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:29.800 didn't speak to me every time we needed to leave. 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.280 He made it seem like we needed to sneak off. Now, 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.080 there was a hate letter that was sent to Jesse 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.600 Smollett and the mail at the Empire Studio and according 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.359 to Jesse Smolette, he said Bola Osundaro approached him about 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:44.240 becoming his personal security guard, and he said he would 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.199 repeatedly ask him that, but he had a problem with 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.320 the idea of always having a security detail around him. 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:52.480 So those are some of the things. He also said 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.439 that he didn't give a police detective his cell phone 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.040 when they asked for it because he didn't think that 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.919 the police believed his story. And he also said that 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.680 the Maga hat was a lie. He told police, um, 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.359 you know that that wasn't true, and he said that 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.480 Chicago police his relationship with them started to deteriorate after 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.359 they mentioned the Maga hats because that hat was favored 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:16.199 by supporters of the president at the time, Donald Trump. 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:21.479 So what is he alleged. He's alleging that they were 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.840 disgruntled lovers who flipped out on him. Yeah, I guess 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.000 he's trying to say maybe that part of the reason 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.600 why they were having any type of interaction with each 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.320 other was because they were lovers, but he didn't say 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.680 he lied and he's lying about the Maga hat there. Yeah, 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.320 he's admitting that he lied about the Maga hat. Yeah, 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.520 there was no no Maga hat, so he said. Um. 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.399 He rejected some of what has been reported, including that 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.919 he told police his alleged attackers were wearing Maga hats. 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:52.480 He said he never told the police that. Oh he 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:54.800 said he lied on him. Yeah, he's saying he never 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.919 said that, and he said under oath that there was 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.600 no hoax. He said he was driving, smoking a blunt 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.440 and texting with a woman after his MSNBC appearance when 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.440 the Olsen Darrell brothers were in his car. And according 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:08.240 to the brothers, they say that remember when they said 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.000 that they were going through like a dress rehearsal of 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.040 the hoax. He's saying that's not what happened. They just 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.280 were in his car at that time and he was 0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.440 texting and smoking. He also says the night of the attack, 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.840 Bola Olsen Dyral called him about his training and his 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.119 mail plan and they told him to get four eggs. 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.080 So he went to Walgreens to get eggs and that's 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:32.639 when he was attacked. All I know is you know personally, 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.040 whatever you know happens in this situation. I don't think 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:37.760 Jesse deserves no three years in prison. I think that's 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.960 what he's facing, right, three is in prison. Yeah, it's 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.800 like no given probation of something. All he did was 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:43.840 lie to the police. Well he's saying he didn't lie, 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:48.560 so oh well yeah, okay, you're right, but even at 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.680 the at the worst, at the worst, you know, he's 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.920 he's a completely innocent or if he is guilty, Hinges 0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.720 lied to thee three years in prison, yeah, don't. I 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:00.520 don't think there's enough evidence to say that he did 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:02.399 it though, Like it's my word verse their word, Like 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.359 there's not enough. There's no evidence that said that this 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:06.520 was a hoax. Right, they don't have no no text, 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.879 they don't have nothing to just their words versus Justesse's words, right, Yeah, 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.520 and so he's back on the stand today. I don't 0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:14.720 think that's enough to convict him if there's no evidence. 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:18.560 It's just I didn't I can't believe this went to trial. Yeah, 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:22.040 but all right, well that is your rumor report. All right, 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.680 thank you, miss ye.

Instagram will now tell users when to 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.760 take a break from using the app. So they launched 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:34.000 their take a break tool today that will encourage you 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.760 just to spend some time away from the platform after 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:40.159 they've been scrolling for a certain period.

That's great. So if you 0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:02.960 pay attention to yeah, no, no, that's great. All right, Now, 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:06.919 let's talk about the latest on the Amicron variant. The 0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:10.560 US is reevaluating travel bands on a daily basis. This 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:13.080 is important right now because I know the holidays are 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.840 upon us and people are making plans. It's making it 0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:17.679 hard to even decide like where to go or what 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:19.320 to do because you don't know where we'll be at 0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:22.760 that time. But doctor Anthony Fauci is saying that a 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:26.080 US travel ban on South Africa and several other African 0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:28.480 countries is being re evaluated every day. He said the 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:30.240 US was aware of the heart tip. The bands have 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:33.119 placed on the countries, but he said the band was 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:35.120 put in place when the US was in the dark 0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.480 and just learning about a surge in cases in South 0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:40.560 Africa due to the amicron variant, and added that the 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:43.080 band was meant to provide time to assess the situation. 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.199 So they did bar entry the travelers from South Africa, 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:50.680 Botswana's and Babwe, Malawi. But the variant has now been 0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:54.080 identified in dozens of countries in several US states as well, 0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.480 So now there's new travel restrictions because of this variant 0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:01.480 in the UK, Australia, Japan, Brazil, can to India, Russia, 0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:04.719 and they're getting more and more information about cases. So 0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:06.280 if it's in all these places, that they're going to 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.359 band travel for all these places as well, because we 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:10.600 already told you starting in South Africa, right, well, we 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.680 already told you starting yesterday, you have to have tested 0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:14.880 negative within twenty four hours. It used to be within 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.520 three days, right and now it's within twenty four hours, 0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:21.120 So they've made that rule already. So Joe Biden also 0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:24.119 announced previously that there's new measures that are aimed at 0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.719 curbing the pandemic. All inbound international travelers have to be 0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:30.439 required to test within one day of departure for the 0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:36.199 United States and all flights departing after today. Yeah, starting 0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:39.200 today must have buy buy a new CDC testing order 0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:43.479 which was posted, So that's going to apply to everyone, Okay, 0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:46.560 and documentation of having recovered from COVID in the past 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:50.520 ninety days it's also accepted. And I'm really confused with 0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:53.480 this because they're saying, no, morochrome might not be as 0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:55.919 they might not have as much damage to people as 0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.280 the delta variant or the regular areat right, Yeah, but 0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:01.320 that's not going so crazy over this variant. Well, they're 0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.760 saying it's more contagious, is what it looks like. So 0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:05.560 it might not be as damaging, but it could be 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:07.800 more contagious. But again, it's still too early to know 0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:10.840 everything because it's a new variant, got so things come 0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:13.359 up all the time, so they're keeping an eye on it, right, 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:15.919 all right, And taking viagra can cut your risk of 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.760 Alzheimer's by up to sixty nine percent. Really, what a 0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:23.240 crazy percentage number to go with your viagra. But yes, 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.440 so if you take viagra, according to research, it can 0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:29.280 slash your risk of Alzheimer's by two thirds, So you 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:32.879 should take Viagra more. I mean, it's just the study. 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:36.800 They did analyze data on seven point two million US adults, 0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.120 and they found that regular users had a sixty nine 0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.679 percent lower chance of being diagnosed with Alzheimer's over the 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:43.320 next six years. You just gotta walk around with a 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.439 third leg in your pants all day long if you're 0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:47.520 Nick Cannon. But I don't know everybody won't have that. 0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:50.720 Because you saw Nick Cannon went viral? Did you just 0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:54.280 go m no, yes you did. You didn't just go 0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:57.080 that wasn't before Nick Cannon? What's wrong with you? Man? 0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:01.920 So random? I say, Nick Cannon? You said no, I didn't. 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.320 All right, Well that is your front Pace news. My goodness? 0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:10.680 All right? Now how do you pronounce Herschela Ali will 0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:12.719 be joining us. He's an actor, of course. He won 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.080 an Oscar for his role in Moonlight in Green Book. 0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:17.560 He's in a new flick is called swan Song and 0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:22.000 premiers in theaters on Friday, December seventeen. He's an amazing actor, 0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:24.400 and you know Swansong is his first and leading role. 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:26.399 You would think that in Green Book he was the 0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:28.560 lead in that movie, but he actually won the Oscar 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.800 for Best Supporting Actor and in Moonlight, but everybody thought 0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:33.960 he was the lead. Okay, so I'm gonna kick with 0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.120 We're gonna kick it with Mirschela Ali when we come back, 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:38.680 so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the 0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:47.280 Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:49.200 the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got a 0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:52.960 special guest in the building, indeed, Herchela Ali. Welcome, Robam, Hey, 0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:56.680 thanks for having me. How you feel. I'm good? I'm good, 0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:00.440 first time Goode's good? Today? Life is good? Man? How 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:03.720 y'all doing? Blessed Black and Holly favorite brother? So let's 0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:05.560 get into it. Of course we're here to talk about 0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:09.040 swan Song first and foremost. And if I'm not mistaken, 0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:11.000 did you produce this movie? Also, I'm one of the 0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:13.800 producers only Yeah, okay, So what you're you to this movie? 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:18.320 In particular the dilemma I think the story is is 0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:21.200 really unique. Did I read correctly that this is your 0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.120 first leading role? First, that's nuts to me. I mean, 0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:25.840 I don't know why I never thought that this, always 0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:30.240 thought you Yeah. Yeah. And also, first, it's been twenty 0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.240 years twenty one years. Yeah, and you did when oscars 0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.720 already I'm want to talk about support. How does that change? 0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:39.640 Some people would say, oh, these awards don't matter and 0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.280 say things like that. But winning an oscar, right, how 0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.520 did that change your trajectory? Or did it? Did it 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.520 not matter to you? Did it change things? Oh? It 0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:51.720 definitely matter. Did it change things? You suddenly get more opportunity. 0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:55.040 Quantity doesn't always equal quality, though, you still have to 0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:57.120 sift through it all to make sure that you are 0:29:57.640 --> 0:30:00.280 are locking in on the opportunity that feels right for you. 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:02.960 Let's talk about that process though, of getting to the 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.680 leading man status and everything about you says leading man, right, 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:08.560 how do you humble yourself to I guess, play your 0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:10.720 position until you get to this point. So the sports 0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:13.720 analogy is, you know, you might be seventh eighth man 0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.320 on the bench, but you believe that you have the 0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:19.360 capacity to start, you know, And so I think what 0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:21.680 you try to do is every time you're playing, you 0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:23.360 just try to show up and do your job and 0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.880 try to prove that you are worthy of more minutes. 0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:29.160 So you just got to kind of keep doing what 0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.240 you're doing, keep your head down, do the best work 0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:34.520 you can do, try to keep growing and try not 0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:38.120 to repeat. You want to try to diversify, you know, 0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:41.400 so you might take something smaller just because it's so 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:43.480 different from the last thing you did, because then the 0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:46.720 goal becomes about showing your range as an actor, so 0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:50.560 that eventually, when that right thing pops, people are just 0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:53.040 constantly seeing you in a different light. That's kind of 0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:56.160 been my approach to try to be patient and also 0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:59.400 just understand that as long as I'm doing my best work, 0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.400 that unfold in God's time. Did you ever make the 0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:04.480 wrong pick? Like, damn, I should have did this movie 0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:08.160 or that movie was great. I could have had an opportunity, 0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:09.680 but I didn't go that route. Did you ever make 0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:12.800 that mistake? It's you make that decision, you know. I 0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:14.959 don't want to say that they are mistakes because I've grown. 0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:17.640 I've grown from every opportunity, and now I think that 0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.360 every role that you get, there's a reason why you 0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:22.520 got that role. That's that's my approach to it, because 0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.200 I've learned something from each role that I got it 0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:27.320 for a reason and it impacted me for a reason, 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.520 and so as long as you're learning, it's less about 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.240 making the right choice or the wrong choice. But it's 0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:35.720 more about can you look at your growth as a 0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:39.720 result of having just done this experience? What did you 0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:43.360 learn from green book? I think like stepping into it, 0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:45.880 especially coming off a moon, like I was looking to 0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:48.120 do something that felt really unique. And so when I 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.960 look at somebody who was empowered enough in nineteen sixty 0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:55.080 one nineteen sixty two to hire a white man to 0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:58.360 drive him through the South, that I interpret that as 0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.600 almost somebody like flipping off the South, so to speak, 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.600 like he had his own little ways of bucking the system. 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:09.320 So when I looked at like his education, his experiences, 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:11.600 I was like, this is somebody that I hadn't quite 0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:17.720 seen before. So that right there, I wanted to challenge myself. No, no, 0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:19.840 because I don't regret the work I did, and I 0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:22.760 don't regret regret what attracted me to it and why 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:27.880 I did it. Now, in every situation, things get complicated 0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.080 at time, and so if anything, I think walking out 0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.880 of it you learn more about like what is due diligence. 0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:38.600 Going into a project, like you could do your due diligence, 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:40.200 you ask some questions, Well, this is what I need, 0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:43.280 this is you know that I don't need, but then 0:32:43.400 --> 0:32:45.880 later on you kind of learned as things revealed. You're like, 0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:49.040 oh man, there's an extra set of questions that I 0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:51.000 could have asked. But you just also don't know what 0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:52.840 you don't know. And so that's just part of the 0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.840 experiences of growing and moving from being someone who is 0:32:56.560 --> 0:33:01.880 most often supporting something to almost in something, and that 0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:04.600 leap is a real leap, and so their awareness and 0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.920 all the details of that and how much of your 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:11.400 life changes and the expectations and the responsibilities and all that. 0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:14.480 It's you learning too. You know, you're learning on the fly, 0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.920 and especially once you're working with like these big corporations 0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.440 and you're like, whoa, I don't agree with this trailer. 0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:22.520 This shouldn't be in it. It's out of context, and 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.040 they go it tested. Well, You're like, what can you 0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:30.320 say to that? And so that's often the experience artists 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:33.360 find themselves in, and you navigated, you learn from it, 0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:37.200 and you try to move on. And especially what happens 0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:43.760 is when you have studios and production companies, they're faceless, right, 0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:48.040 And so once that film comes out and it may 0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:52.440 do well in one part of a demographic and another 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:56.280 part of the country, is not feeling it, especially as 0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:59.040 actors of color, you walk out kind of carrying that 0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:02.520 bag if you made all those choices or decisions when 0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:06.080 the faceless companies kind of like they own the next 0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:09.480 rollout for their next gig. So I learned a lot 0:34:09.520 --> 0:34:10.879 from it. Does that make you feel like you want 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:12.560 to have more control as far as that's what maybe 0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:14.759 want to produce? I mean, it's not what made me 0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:16.759 want to produce, but it's something that added to the 0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:21.040 fuel behind behind wanting to produce because so often you're 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:24.239 behind the scenes, and I'm sure you could talk to 0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:28.440 a healthy group of actors of color, because it's not 0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:31.480 just black actors, but where you find yourself where there 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:35.400 isn't a black voice in the producerial role. So what 0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:37.799 happens is actors have to start saying like, oh, there's 0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:40.640 a problem with this scene. Can we try it this way? 0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:44.720 Because that could be problematic, And so that inherently becomes 0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.200 part of your job as an actor, though you will 0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.480 not be credited as a producer, but you're producing because 0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:52.640 you begin to start trying to protect the film and 0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:55.560 think about all these things that can impact the film 0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:59.279 and impact you as an artist. So in getting the 0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:02.920 producer at it. Often you're already doing that work anyway. 0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:07.640 So I've appreciated being able to move into that space 0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.319 because now there's a legit seat at the table. It's 0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.400 not like you're standing behind the people sitting at the 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:14.759 table and being like, hey, can you fix this part 0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:17.920 because that could be problematic or this is actually what 0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.080 we need to go for here can you do that? 0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:22.200 And they may or may not listen to you that 0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:25.640 if you're producing and you're the face of it, it's 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:29.920 a way to protect yourself and the story. Now Herschel 0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:32.240 to break down the movie Swan song, What is it about? 0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:36.120 The film is about a man who is dealing with 0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:41.040 a terminal illness and he is presented with an opportunity 0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.319 to clone himself. And so this is the not too 0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:46.719 distant future, so it's say it's like twenty forty. Part 0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:49.560 of it is that he just can't tell his family. 0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:51.960 And the reason he can't tell his family is because 0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:55.359 this process is new, so there's almost still in this 0:35:55.920 --> 0:36:00.000 semi testing phase of it. It's not like openly permitted yet. 0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:04.960 So with that said, considering that you have somebody who 0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:10.279 is relatively young, meaning the character on playing and the 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.840 child who is like ten years old. You have somebody 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:15.680 who's looking like feeling like they're dying before their time. 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:18.640 The advantage that the clone has is that he has 0:36:18.680 --> 0:36:22.640 all the awareness that the original has, Like he has 0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:26.440 all the same memories, all the same he's him, No, 0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:30.400 he's him, he's him, but he just doesn't have the 0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:34.320 illness right. And so there's this thing where you feel 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.000 like the clone is really about to take advantage of 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:41.319 having this new opportunity at life. And so I feel 0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:44.760 like we all have that character's name is Jack the Clone. 0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:46.640 I think we all have a Jack Inness. We all 0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.880 have a higher potential, we all have our best self. 0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:52.359 So the work becomes about what do we have to 0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:55.440 do to manifest our best selves? Like how do we 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:59.480 take stock and take inventory? Do we need a death sentence? 0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:02.160 Do you need the ticking clock that you're totally aware 0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:05.360 of to begin to like look at some of the 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:07.279 changes you need to make in a lot in your 0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:12.440 own life. Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are 0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:14.840 the Breakfast Club is still kicking it with Reharcheal Ali. 0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:16.440 Of course you want to ask for his roles in 0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.279 Moonlighting Green book. He has a new flick Swan song. 0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:21.680 You ever get a sucking character, though, because it's like 0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:26.680 you do different characters, Yeah, from all aspects and players 0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:28.360 and all different people. Do you ever get stuck in 0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:31.520 the thing and can't get out? Um? And how do 0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:33.120 you get out of it? You know what I will say, 0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:34.840 I don't think I ever get stuck in character. But 0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:37.600 what I do think is I think you. I think 0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:39.880 there's things to take with you from each character. I 0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:41.759 think there's lessons to take with you, just like there's 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.759 lessons to take from each relationship or each job. And 0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.840 so I try to take the things that impact me 0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:50.040 in a positive way from these from these characters. But 0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:52.680 each character comes with a certain degree of toxicity too, right, 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:55.400 because you're living in somebody else's problems for twelve to 0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:58.680 eighteen hours a day, And so for me, there's a 0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:03.000 time in which I kind of need post shooting to 0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:06.040 sort of like almost mourn the character, like to kind 0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:07.920 of get it out of me, because you get in 0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:10.759 the rhythm and you get eat. I can't even eat 0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:12.480 sitting down. It's hard for me to eat sitting down 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:14.439 because I'm just so used to rushing all the time. 0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.879 And you quick change and then you're back on set 0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:19.319 real quick and at a certain point you're like, Yo, 0:38:19.480 --> 0:38:22.000 this is not normal. Let me bring it down. I 0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.640 gotta let go of the stresses of this character that 0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:28.319 I've been living with for four months and begin to 0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:31.239 embrace my own again and kind of let that go. 0:38:31.400 --> 0:38:34.680 So it just it takes time to shake it, like 0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.359 I just feel it. Like I remember shooting Rock Rock 0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:41.440 Sanne Rock Sane No, but I had nightmares like the 0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:43.600 last week of shooting and that with that character, like 0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:46.160 for real, I've never had it like that before. And 0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:49.360 so there's a thing where your body doesn't necessarily know 0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:51.759 the difference from the messages you're telling it. And that's 0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:53.839 why you have to be so conscious of what what 0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:56.080 you're listening to, what you're taking in. I remember listening 0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:58.719 to the radio it's like twelve. I would turn the 0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:00.640 radio on at night and one time my mom came 0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:02.759 in and she was like, no, turn that off. You 0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:04.000 can't listen to it. I was like, what are you 0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:08.040 talking about? Like you know, She's like, no, there's messages 0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:10.520 that you need to be conscious of what you're listening to. 0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:13.719 I ain't trying to screw you. Guys up for people listening. 0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.400 But like, there's messages you need to be conscious of. 0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:18.480 And it's like if it's playing and you hear it 0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:20.520 and you know it, that's one thing. But yeah, it 0:39:20.520 --> 0:39:22.000 takes time to shake. I want to go back to 0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:25.200 something you said in regardless of Swan songs, does that 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:29.719 movie change your perception of death and life? You know what? 0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:33.600 I think it encourages me to to live a little fooler. 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.800 I think it encourages me to put my foot on 0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.640 the gas of it. I think it really encourages me 0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:41.600 to try to be as present as possible with my 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:43.840 friends and loved ones right now. My grandfather told me 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.120 years ago, he said, tell people how you feel right now, 0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:49.280 like and he you know, he started, he got teared 0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:50.520 up a little bit and he was like, I don't 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:52.000 know where this was coming from. And he was like, 0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:53.680 I just want you to to know I love you, and 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:55.960 you know, and that always stuck with me. I was 0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:58.680 about fifteen years old, and leading up to this, it 0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:01.040 just makes me think, like, you know, if there's something 0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:02.719 I want to do, there's something there I want to try, 0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:05.759 if there's a change I want to make. There's one 0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:08.000 thing in like thinking about it and kind of road 0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:10.200 mapping it out through your head. But there's another thing 0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:13.719 in like a very New York thing, just go. And 0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:16.799 I think that for me is the message, you know, 0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:20.040 because I just want to make sure that I stay 0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:22.960 in motion, you know. And I think if we keep 0:40:23.160 --> 0:40:26.480 like marching forward, that's all we got because you know, 0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:31.080 all of our numbers are going to be called like 0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:34.239 a really safe space too, where we're comfortable with the 0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:36.319 routine of what we're doing in our lives. We know 0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:39.560 we have this steady paycheck and you're like scared to 0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:42.719 go out and take a risk doing something else. So 0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:46.080 did you ever have that experience in your career. I've 0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:48.960 had that experience most of the time. And that's a muscle, 0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:53.719 the reaction to that. When I start feeling comfortable, I 0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:57.920 found myself reacting in ways where that voice gets louder 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.799 and you could kind of work to or it, but 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:03.200 eventually you need to react. So when I was on 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:06.160 a House of Cards, which is a huge show, it 0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:08.960 was after the beginning is I don't know, I was 0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:11.080 season three and I started asking to get off the show, 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:14.120 and I had friends and family going like, are you crazy? 0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:16.359 This thing is huge, like why you want to get 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:21.080 off the show? And I was concerned with getting comfortable 0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:25.520 and finding myself as how I interpreted just another dude 0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:28.200 on the show, and so it was important for me 0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:31.759 to move on, to keep building towards what I saw 0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:34.200 for myself, which was Swan song. You know what I 0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:36.799 mean in a way of like I want to move up, 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:39.479 and I just didn't want to be on somebody's show, 0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:43.680 always supporting other people's narrative. So Chao came to me 0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:48.120 doing Luke Cage and he was like, yo, you want 0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:49.640 to do this show? And I was like, I just 0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:51.200 got off a House of cards. He was like, he's 0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:55.640 gonna die. I was like, cool. I was the only 0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:57.480 reason I did it though, because they're gonna kill it. 0:41:57.680 --> 0:42:00.439 I wouldn't have done it otherwise, Wow, I just got 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:02.960 off of the show. Well, I didn't want to get stuck. 0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:05.279 I didn't want to be on another show for it. 0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:10.040 I've already done, like I came into it and Crossing 0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:13.239 Jordan two thousand and one. I did my first year there. 0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:16.400 I got fired after one year or whatever, but everyone 0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:18.240 else was on there for seven years and I watched 0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:19.640 it happen. It was the best thing that could have 0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:21.719 happened to me. Honestly, I would ended up on like 0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:24.279 the forty four hundred and asked for a three year deal, 0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:26.840 so that was gonna be short, and everyone else was 0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:29.560 in six year deal. So I always was trying to 0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:34.800 make sure that I couldn't get too comfortable, because, especially 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:37.600 as an actor, you don't want to get stuck as 0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:41.720 one thing, like because that is death or an actor 0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:46.640 to only but I hear you, and that's that was 0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:50.480 a real concern. And for me, it's always been about 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:55.719 trying to diversify and make sure that I wasn't repeating 0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.000 or playing the same character, and making sure that I'm 0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:03.720 always pushing myself. Otherwise, for me, if I don't feel uncomfortable, 0:43:03.960 --> 0:43:06.720 then I know I'm not growing. And so if something 0:43:06.840 --> 0:43:09.640 feels like it's starting to get easy, as much as like, 0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:11.759 I love when things get easy, but at the same 0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:16.799 time you're like yeah, and then I get unhappy in 0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:19.640 a real way. And so I already know that about myself, 0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:22.080 so I kind of have to keep pushing myself and 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:25.839 figuring out, all right, how am I gonna take on 0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:32.239 something that scares me a bit. There's there's plenty there's 0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:34.319 plenty to work out. There's so much about that that 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.160 is that is challenging, just in general that you know, 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:39.200 I got my hands full, and even in doing it 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:42.040 and then wanting to do other stuff, I don't want 0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:44.800 to just be bladed like that is one character. And honestly, 0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:47.640 as huge as that is, is huge as the Marvel 0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:52.200 cinematic universes and all of that is amazing. All these 0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:55.120 characters are important to me equally. That's all. You say 0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:58.160 that you were losing sleep over your voice over role 0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:01.960 in the Eternals, and I'm like, why your voice is amazing? No, well, 0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:06.160 I'm talking character though, and so, and all I meant 0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:10.720 by that was if you're doing vocal work for something 0:44:10.840 --> 0:44:14.319 your months away from filming, you're still putting together all 0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:17.160 those things in your head. You're like body starting to change, 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:18.680 which is gonna change your voice? You don't know if 0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:20.399 you're gonna go with something a little deeper. You don't 0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:23.320 know if you're gonna so suddenly when someone's like, okay, 0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:25.759 we need you to voice something, You're like, oh, I 0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:28.200 was coming to that in its natural order. And so 0:44:28.239 --> 0:44:31.120 it's just something that felt premature, because otherwise you would 0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:34.120 never do that. You talk about doing radio, got that 0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:41.760 quiet stone voice, but like to hear that. But no, no, 0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:45.480 no radio. But I respect I respect it, I respect it. 0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:47.400 All right. We have more with rehearsal Ali when we 0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:51.360 come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. 0:44:51.360 --> 0:44:55.319 Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we 0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:57.920 are to Breakfast Club is still kicking it with rehearsal Ali. 0:44:58.040 --> 0:44:59.520 Of course you want to Oscar for his roles and 0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:02.359 moon Lay Green Book. He has a new flick swan song. 0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:05.439 Where were you an artist? At one point? I'm still 0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:08.799 an artist though I make beats. I was on Hieroglyphics 0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:11.359 Imperium the label, and doing some stuff before that. So 0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:14.719 I've always been involved in in music in some way, 0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:16.719 shape or form. You know, if you grow up in 0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:20.160 the era, can't separate yourself. You love doing Roxan roxand 0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:24.080 because of that, you know, are you kidding me? Yeah? 0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:25.880 I had the ute Phone records or some of my 0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:29.560 early records like Utfo, Houdini, Fat Boys, like all those 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:33.680 whore I was doing yeah like no, like yeah, like no. 0:45:36.560 --> 0:45:38.359 And my dad was a New Yorker, so I was out. 0:45:38.480 --> 0:45:41.000 I'm from California, from the Bay Area, but my dad 0:45:41.000 --> 0:45:42.520 had moved to New York when I was when I 0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:45.080 was three, and so I was coming out here and 0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:47.440 growing up and getting a taste in New York for 0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:49.000 the summer, and then I would go back to the 0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:52.040 Bay and I was like, I couldn't explain it. So 0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:54.640 what about Roxan Roxand how was that for you? Doing 0:45:54.640 --> 0:45:59.359 that and having that musical background Roxand was was both 0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:02.200 a dream a nightmare. And what I mean is that 0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:07.600 the playing this character cross who is you know, violent, 0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:11.040 you know, hitting her like we we all know the story. 0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:14.440 It was honored to be a service of her truth. 0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:16.640 I gotta be the bad guy, but she's gonna win 0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:19.759 in the end in some way, right, so you gotta 0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:21.360 give over to that. And that's the only thing that 0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:24.720 really gave me peace about it. So to do something 0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:29.240 to help tell an icon story and her in particular, 0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:32.000 was a great thing to be able to do, especially 0:46:32.080 --> 0:46:35.640 having a real relationship to the music and being aware 0:46:35.680 --> 0:46:37.840 at that time as a kid growing up. But what 0:46:38.000 --> 0:46:42.480 was hard was like the actual like physical act of it. 0:46:42.600 --> 0:46:45.200 And you know, you gotta go there, you gotta push 0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:47.319 yourself and then you gotta do it like take after 0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:50.400 take after take, So you like pretending to beat somebody 0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:54.399 up and strangling them and acting like crazy for six 0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:57.240 hours of the day like that, don't just go away. 0:46:57.360 --> 0:47:00.240 You gotta shake that off. Do you question yourself an 0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:02.560 acting nowadays when you're doing that, Because I was talking 0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:05.120 to Megan Good recently and she was saying how when 0:47:05.360 --> 0:47:07.279 she does sex act, she thinks people look at it 0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:09.799 and think that's how she really gets down. In this 0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:13.399 era of cancel culture, people be like, oh, he must 0:47:13.400 --> 0:47:15.040 really do that to women. Look how he does it 0:47:15.120 --> 0:47:18.000 so well. You know, I try not to think about 0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:20.880 it that way. I'm always a little surprised when people 0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:25.000 I feel like Danny Glover had stayed impacted by his 0:47:25.120 --> 0:47:29.279 part in Color Purple. I'm serious, like I felt like 0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:32.839 that there's not a sweeter man on the planet. But 0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:36.399 I feel like sometimes people play roles so well that 0:47:36.640 --> 0:47:39.800 it's hard for folks to get that thing out of 0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:42.400 their head and they do associate you with that character. 0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:45.480 So it's something to be to be really mindful of. 0:47:45.680 --> 0:47:48.399 But like a career as a mosaic, right, Like, there's 0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:50.520 all these tiles in it each role you play, and 0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:52.839 when you step away you step back from it, there's 0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:57.120 a picture, right you look at Denzel. Denzel's career and 0:47:57.400 --> 0:48:00.920 there's all these characters in there. There's characters that are 0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:03.359 icons and heroes as characters that are normal people. He's 0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:05.040 got a villain up in there. You know. When you 0:48:05.080 --> 0:48:07.640 step away, you go, oh, you see the spine of 0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:09.319 his work, you see the picture of his work, and 0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:11.240 you get a sense of his essence as a person. 0:48:11.560 --> 0:48:14.279 But you're not gonna hopefully you don't judge him by 0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:17.080 one character he played, Like, really, well, when did you 0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:21.160 start to realize the power of intention? M That's a 0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:24.480 good question, man, that's a good question. You know what 0:48:24.560 --> 0:48:27.399 I would probably say a little over twenty years ago 0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:30.200 when I converted to Islam, Like one of the things 0:48:30.200 --> 0:48:32.680 that you do is you state your intention before you pray. 0:48:32.719 --> 0:48:35.560 So I intend to make my fudgered prayer like my 0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:38.600 morning prayer whatever. And then it kind of led to 0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:42.919 me thinking more about like the importance of writing things down, 0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:44.760 Like I know, I remember one time I wrote down 0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:47.239 I don't know, maybe like two thousand and six or 0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:49.040 seven or something like that. I wrote down these goals 0:48:49.080 --> 0:48:50.600 that I wanted to do. I want the book a pilot, 0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:51.879 I don't want to do this that another I wrote 0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:53.960 them down. I kept it in my wallet. I remember 0:48:53.960 --> 0:48:56.520 I pulled it out some time later and I like, wow, 0:48:56.680 --> 0:49:00.239 all these things happen. And also growing up with my grandmother, well, 0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:02.279 being around my grandmother a lot, she was always like 0:49:02.880 --> 0:49:05.239 filling my head with certain things. Tell yourself, you have 0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:07.239 five hundred million dollars. She's been telling me that since 0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:09.000 I was a little kid. Like I was like, that's 0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.360 a crazy amount of money. But okay, you know, and 0:49:12.000 --> 0:49:15.080 you start telling your things yourself things, and so I was. 0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:17.960 I've gotten messages as as a little kid about like 0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:20.280 being conscious of what you think and what you tell yourself, 0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:23.600 and to to don't be afraid to state your intention 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:25.680 because it will help you. It'll kind of be like 0:49:25.760 --> 0:49:27.840 when behind your back ever reason, I have to because 0:49:27.840 --> 0:49:30.080 everything just hearing you talk, it feels like everything you 0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:33.439 do is intentional, not everything. But I try. I try 0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:36.440 to be intentional. I do try. You know, how did 0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:38.680 you feel when Wesley Snipe said you'll you'll do a 0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:44.719 great job in Blade Man? Humbled and so encouraged by that, 0:49:44.840 --> 0:49:47.000 because then you have to say that, like you know 0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:49.480 what nobody really asking him for him to come out 0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:52.000 and say that, you know, somebody I look up to 0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:56.919 so much. I sincerely appreciated that, so thank you brother. 0:49:57.120 --> 0:49:58.680 Has there been any talks about because you know, we 0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:01.240 got the multiverse and more, have there been any talks about, 0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:06.160 you know, him reprising. I can't talk about I can't 0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:10.160 even really, you know, they put the hush that's pretty 0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:12.680 good at the questions. Yeah, I can't even. I can't even. 0:50:12.840 --> 0:50:14.920 I really can't really talk about anything. But how much 0:50:15.000 --> 0:50:18.560 pressure to do? I'm learning it's a lot of pressure. Man, 0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.759 it's a lot. But other people have done it and 0:50:21.000 --> 0:50:25.440 survived and succeeded, So you know, I'm just gonna try 0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:27.560 to set myself up to do to it the absolute 0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:29.759 best work I could do. What's the next thing for 0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:33.000 you that you're scared of to accomplish that You're like, Okay, 0:50:33.680 --> 0:50:35.200 I don't want to get too comfortable, like we've been 0:50:35.239 --> 0:50:37.799 talking about not getting too comfortable in the space, and 0:50:37.840 --> 0:50:40.120 so you have to figure out, Okay, now I want 0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:43.160 to do this that I've never done before direct and 0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:45.400 you know, God willing not have happened at some point. 0:50:45.560 --> 0:50:47.520 Is there something on the table now? I mean I've 0:50:47.560 --> 0:50:51.279 had a couple of things pop up, but it's been 0:50:51.960 --> 0:50:54.640 I've said no because of just knowing what is on 0:50:54.719 --> 0:50:58.279 my acting slate and how I kind of have to do. 0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:00.359 Even if I'm doing multiple things, I have to do 0:51:00.480 --> 0:51:03.200 one thing at a time. So maybe I got something 0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:06.360 else on the calendar on that day, but I can't 0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:08.360 be doing the thing I'm doing and prepping for the 0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:10.799 other thing.

I think, you know, there's 0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:23.319 other people out there that are right for that, but 0:51:24.080 --> 0:51:26.759 I don't know, man, I honestly, I would have to 0:51:26.800 --> 0:51:29.879 say that I'm kind of living it in the way 0:51:29.920 --> 0:51:32.719 of like just getting the play this character in a 0:51:32.760 --> 0:51:36.120 Swan song, even just the range and like just what 0:51:36.239 --> 0:51:39.880 it asked of me, just playing even two characters, like 0:51:40.080 --> 0:51:43.200 it was all pretty challenging, but in a positive way. 0:51:43.360 --> 0:51:45.320 How far away do you think we are from cloning people? 0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:49.480 You think there's some clones out there? It would be Hey, 0:51:50.200 --> 0:51:53.120 the real meat might be at home, right You know, 0:51:53.160 --> 0:51:56.040 we always like I wish I had a clone.

Well, Jack Queens went viral, 0:53:17.000 --> 0:53:19.480 and that is for singing the national anthem at the 0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:23.719 Lakers game. And people enjoyed this. Listen to it or 0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:33.840 the ram pot twee we're so good shraming and the 0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:42.959 Rockets recol What do you think that's pretty good? Yeah, 0:53:43.000 --> 0:53:45.080 so he said, my first time singing the national anthem 0:53:45.080 --> 0:53:47.160 at the Staples Center, r Cobe shout out the whole 0:53:47.200 --> 0:53:49.960 Lakers squad and then he said, la was legendary. One 0:53:50.000 --> 0:53:53.320 of them times I'll never forget. You know they always 0:53:53.320 --> 0:53:55.960 talk about. They said that Fergie had the worst national 0:53:56.000 --> 0:53:59.920 anthem rendition the NBA All Star Game back in twenty eighteen, 0:54:00.000 --> 0:54:04.080 and a lot of people were you know it was 0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:25.239 it was pretty bad, but oh my goodness, but that's 0:54:25.360 --> 0:54:28.560 entertaining if you had the game laughing. I remember the 0:54:28.600 --> 0:54:32.280 play is laughing. What she did. Remember that her husband 0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:34.440 was mad. He said that Jamond Green old her an 0:54:34.440 --> 0:54:36.960 apology because he was laughing. Everybody was laughing though, and 0:54:37.000 --> 0:54:39.080 you know, they made it into a children's book, that 0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:43.799 horrible singer. Yeah, the furg American national anthem. I don't 0:54:43.920 --> 0:54:46.239 matter if they get paid, Okay, Yeah, I mean I 0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:48.200 don't know if she did, but I guess they would 0:54:48.200 --> 0:54:49.960 have to get clearance from her in order for that 0:54:50.000 --> 0:54:55.120 to happen. Absolutely, yes, but shout out to him all right? Um? Now, 0:54:55.360 --> 0:54:58.720 Punked and Dish MANTLD has been set for a season 0:54:58.800 --> 0:55:01.719 two premieres at oh Coup. So there were two of 0:55:01.760 --> 0:55:04.720 the unscripted Quibby originals that were renewed for a second season. 0:55:04.760 --> 0:55:08.520 While Quimby existed, that was definitely a quick bite. Quimby 0:55:09.040 --> 0:55:11.880 came and went, but Punked was hosted by Chance the 0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:14.640 Rapper was renewed in June of twenty twenty, so their 0:55:14.840 --> 0:55:18.360 second season role premiere on Friday. Some of the guests 0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:23.240 include Tiffany Hattish, Little Nas, x Odell Beckham Junior, Tiana Taylor, 0:55:23.960 --> 0:55:27.839 Miguel Carucci, Kate Upton. Here here's what it sounds like 0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:33.160 from the trailer. Oh, I think my water just broke. Tiffany, 0:55:33.280 --> 0:55:37.359 don't want nothing to do with that wrecking ball just 0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:48.960 falling on my coffee? Are you kitty drop it? I'm 0:55:48.960 --> 0:55:53.239 definitely remember having a bait. I always love punk man. 0:55:53.239 --> 0:55:55.400 I love the Pump with Jady Kiss was a funny 0:55:55.400 --> 0:55:57.840 one with Kanye West was another funny, funny one. I 0:55:57.880 --> 0:56:00.320 love Pump. Yeah, I feel like they could punk you easily. 0:56:00.480 --> 0:56:06.160 Definitely catch me. I do absolutely. You will get cursed 0:56:06.160 --> 0:56:10.399 out in a minute. To set that up, sir. Your 0:56:10.400 --> 0:56:13.000 cars didn't arrive at the car show. I will be 0:56:13.040 --> 0:56:15.719 a good one. That will be a good one. And 0:56:15.760 --> 0:56:19.160 I had my calls on, oh my goodness, don't play 0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:21.200 with me, do not play with me. We have to wait, 0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:23.160 make sure they get there first, and then do that. 0:56:23.400 --> 0:56:26.040 Don't play with me. Okay. And by the way, since 0:56:26.080 --> 0:56:29.000 we just mentioned Miguel saying that he called off his 0:56:29.120 --> 0:56:32.080 divorce from his wife, they actually were spotted having a 0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:35.160 romantic dinner a few weeks ago after they had broken up, 0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:37.319 and so it looks like that two of them are 0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:41.480 back on again. So happy to see that they hopefully 0:56:41.560 --> 0:56:43.480 worked it out. Yeah, that's that's a great thing. I 0:56:43.600 --> 0:56:45.359 love to see love like that. And you know, they've 0:56:45.360 --> 0:56:47.400 been together a long time, so sometimes you get in 0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:49.800 the arguments things go a little too far. And seventeen 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:51.840 years they've been together, you got to reset. Me and 0:56:51.840 --> 0:56:54.120 a wife been together twenty seven years, so sometimes you 0:56:54.120 --> 0:56:57.279 gotta reset. I can't take this guy out. I'm sure 0:56:57.320 --> 0:57:00.800 she does that all the time. All right. And Nick Cannon, 0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:03.520 we were talking about how Nick Cannon was trending, and 0:57:03.560 --> 0:57:06.200 then when you went to find out why he was trending, 0:57:06.560 --> 0:57:08.359 it was because of the suit that he had on 0:57:08.520 --> 0:57:11.160 that was kind of tight, and I guess you could 0:57:11.160 --> 0:57:14.480 see his print. And we talked about this earlier, and 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:16.800 they found that regular users had a sixty nine percent 0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:19.200 lower chance of being diagnosed with Alzheimer's over the next 0:57:19.240 --> 0:57:20.840 six years. You just gotta walk around with a third 0:57:20.920 --> 0:57:23.400 leg in your pants all day long if you're Nick Cannon. 0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:26.040 But I don't know everybody won't have that. Because you 0:57:26.080 --> 0:57:30.360 saw Nick Cannon, did you just go yes, she did? 0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:34.040 What did you lie? I didn't know. I said I 0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:36.400 was on purpose. I was a reaction. I wasn't talking 0:57:36.400 --> 0:57:42.560 about Nick Cannon. Well, Damon Dash would say, paulse all right, 0:57:42.680 --> 0:57:45.440 And QC Sports has announced the launch of their no 0:57:45.720 --> 0:57:52.440 full service basketball division, so congratulations to them. They also 0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:55.560 have announced Derek Powell as global head of Basketball. He 0:57:55.560 --> 0:57:59.920 has twenty two years of NBA insight negotiation and agency experience. 0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:01.840 That's what you got to do when you venture into something, 0:58:02.120 --> 0:58:05.880 you gotta get somebody on the team that actually has 0:58:05.880 --> 0:58:08.840 been doing that for quite some time. Correct, So congratulations 0:58:09.280 --> 0:58:13.040 to them for a QC Sports. And Travis Scott wants 0:58:13.120 --> 0:58:17.800 the Astro World lawsuit dismissed and he doesn't believe that 0:58:17.840 --> 0:58:19.960 he should be tied to litigation when it comes to 0:58:19.960 --> 0:58:22.800 the tragedy that happened, So he's asking a judge to 0:58:22.800 --> 0:58:25.440 get rid of one of the lawsuits against him. Now, 0:58:26.440 --> 0:58:29.120 he just filed legal documents denying the claims against him 0:58:29.120 --> 0:58:32.080 by a guy named jesse Garcia. Jesse Garcia says he 0:58:32.160 --> 0:58:35.640 was in the crowd at the festival, and he's saying that, 0:58:36.720 --> 0:58:39.880 you know, as it pertains to himself, his company, and 0:58:39.960 --> 0:58:43.680 his foundation, Cactus Jack. He's doing a general denial. That's 0:58:43.680 --> 0:58:45.480 a legal term in civil suits that allows when to 0:58:45.480 --> 0:58:49.200 submit one blanket response to all of the allegations against them. 0:58:49.240 --> 0:58:51.480 So he wants to make it clear that the deaths 0:58:51.480 --> 0:58:53.840 and injuries are not his responsibility, and he wants the 0:58:53.880 --> 0:58:56.600 judge to toss the suit against him and his entities. 0:58:56.640 --> 0:58:58.360 So we'll see what happens. Yeah, I don't think the 0:58:58.440 --> 0:58:59.840 judge is going to drop that, but I mean, I 0:59:00.080 --> 0:59:03.560 don't necessarily believe he should be accountable. You know, he's performing, 0:59:03.560 --> 0:59:06.440 he's an artist there. He didn't hire the security, pay 0:59:06.520 --> 0:59:07.960 for the venue and all that other stuff. I don't 0:59:07.960 --> 0:59:09.720 think he should be liable for all that stuff. But 0:59:09.920 --> 0:59:11.320 it's gonna be in court. It's gonna be a court 0:59:11.360 --> 0:59:13.160 for a long time. Right. He said he was unaware 0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:15.400 of what was going on that night, So that's what 0:59:15.520 --> 0:59:18.040 he's saying. He didn't realize that's what's happening. And you 0:59:18.040 --> 0:59:19.920 can tell because it was one incident where somebody did 0:59:20.040 --> 0:59:22.240 pass out. He stopped, he made short, security got the 0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:24.360 mountain and he continued perform. And he didn't know that 0:59:24.400 --> 0:59:26.760 people were passing out and dying. I'm sure if he 0:59:26.800 --> 0:59:28.160 had known that, he would have stopped it. I mean, 0:59:28.840 --> 0:59:31.280 he's an artist. I'm sure sometimes people pass out a 0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:33.520 lot when they when they're performing. All right, well that 0:59:33.600 --> 0:59:36.520 is your rumor reports. All right, thank you miss yet. 0:59:36.560 --> 0:59:38.600 Now when we come back, Charlemagne got donkey today, so 0:59:38.640 --> 0:59:41.880 don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, So Breakfast Club, 0:59:41.960 --> 0:59:45.840 your morning's will never be the same. It's here, the 0:59:45.840 --> 0:59:49.080 most star studded black western ever made the Heart of 0:59:49.120 --> 0:59:52.880 day Fall, directed by James Samuel, alongside a killer soundtrack 0:59:52.960 --> 0:59:56.000 that features original songs by jay Z, Kid Cutty and Moore. 0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:59.160 Watch now on Netflix and stream the soundtrack now on 0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:02.520 all platforms.

Did she get 1:00:12.520 --> 1:00:17.600 the lease? I had become Donkey of the Day practice club? 1:00:17.640 --> 1:00:22.520 Bitches Donkey to Day for Tuesday December seventh goes to 1:00:22.560 --> 1:00:26.120 the CEO or Better dot Com Visual Guard. That's his name, 1:00:26.200 --> 1:00:29.080 Visual garg. Now what is better dot Com? Well? Better 1:00:29.080 --> 1:00:31.840 dot Com is a mortgage company that launched in twenty 1:00:31.920 --> 1:00:36.360 sixteen and they are a director lender providing online mortgage financing. 1:00:36.440 --> 1:00:40.040 But fall at doesn't matter what service the company provides 1:00:40.080 --> 1:00:42.720 for the people, because what it did two which people, 1:00:43.160 --> 1:00:46.920 was a complete disservice. See. I'm a proud forty three 1:00:47.000 --> 1:00:50.160 year old man, Okay, I love every bit of my age, 1:00:50.240 --> 1:00:53.680 every minute, every second. So I'm a bit more old 1:00:53.720 --> 1:00:56.800 schools than most, So some of this new stuff. I 1:00:56.840 --> 1:00:58.840 just can't get jiggie with. Okay, see I just said 1:00:58.840 --> 1:01:01.120 get jiggi with. I did that on purpose. People, Relax, 1:01:01.200 --> 1:01:04.240 But what do ceo of Better dot Com did? I 1:01:04.320 --> 1:01:06.560 just can't get with. Let's go to CBS two New 1:01:06.640 --> 1:01:08.800 York for the report police. It was a mass zoom 1:01:08.800 --> 1:01:11.880 call where employees logged on and learned they were being 1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:16.280 fired weeks before Christmas. In a video that has gone viral, 1:01:16.600 --> 1:01:19.840 you hear Vishal Garg, the CEO of Better dot Com, 1:01:19.880 --> 1:01:23.120 giving the bad news. For some, it's reminiscent of the 1:01:23.160 --> 1:01:26.720 movie Up in the Air starring George Clooney, where firing 1:01:26.720 --> 1:01:30.400 people in person instead of via teleconference was part of 1:01:30.400 --> 1:01:33.280 the plotline. This was real life, though, for some nine 1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:37.360 hundred employees of the digital mortgage lender, which has offices 1:01:37.360 --> 1:01:41.280 in Oakland, California. Now, look, I'm old school, and I 1:01:41.360 --> 1:01:43.760 also could be projecting right now, because I've been fired 1:01:43.800 --> 1:01:47.080 like seven times in my life. Four times from radio, 1:01:47.240 --> 1:01:50.320 once from Taco Bell, once from a cloven store called 1:01:50.320 --> 1:01:53.240 Demo in the mall, once from a factory called Industrial 1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:56.080 Acoustics Company. So that's seven times I've been fired in 1:01:56.120 --> 1:01:59.520 my life, and every single time I've gotten fired except 1:01:59.600 --> 1:02:03.320 one I got fired face to face. See, I respect 1:02:03.320 --> 1:02:05.800 when you look somebody in the eye and tell them 1:02:05.960 --> 1:02:08.160 you are moving in another direction. Okay, the one time 1:02:08.200 --> 1:02:10.400 I didn't get fired face to face was because my 1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:13.040 black ass chose radio slute to Ze ninety three jams 1:02:13.040 --> 1:02:16.520 and Charleston, South Carolina. I chose radio over Demo and 1:02:17.040 --> 1:02:20.240 north Ford's mall and I just simply, you know, didn't 1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:22.400 go in. So my manager at the time, Nikki, she 1:02:22.480 --> 1:02:24.400 did what she had to do. Salute the Nikki dropping 1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:26.959 on the cluees bombs for Nikki. I appreciate you, queen. 1:02:27.480 --> 1:02:30.440 Now radio is even better. They don't just fire you, 1:02:30.520 --> 1:02:34.080 they have hr escort you out. That's why I never 1:02:34.440 --> 1:02:37.520 keep anything in any office at a radio station I 1:02:37.640 --> 1:02:39.840 work at to this day. At the breakfast club, I 1:02:39.840 --> 1:02:42.120 don't have no damn office. I mean there is one 1:02:42.160 --> 1:02:44.480 back there, you know, for us, but I don't use 1:02:44.520 --> 1:02:48.080 it because, hey, you just never know. I'm traumatized. So 1:02:48.120 --> 1:02:50.840 I'm saying all that to say that visual guard is 1:02:50.880 --> 1:02:53.880 a coward. Now, maybe in this era that we live in, 1:02:53.920 --> 1:02:57.120 folks get fired all the time via zoom. Maybe I 1:02:57.160 --> 1:02:59.960 don't know, Maybe they still following some type of cold 1:03:00.040 --> 1:03:03.480 with protocol. But if you have to fire people, call 1:03:03.600 --> 1:03:06.760 them in the office and do it one at a time. Okay, 1:03:06.840 --> 1:03:10.000 getting fired shouldn't be no damn group project. Even when 1:03:10.000 --> 1:03:12.440 it was mass layoffs in two thousand and eight, I 1:03:12.800 --> 1:03:16.560 believe we still got called in the office individually, at 1:03:16.640 --> 1:03:19.200 least I did. Okay. Granted it was like, you know, 1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:22.480 thirty of us getting fired and not nine hundred, But damn, 1:03:22.960 --> 1:03:25.640 you're gonna fire nine hundred people before the holidays, and 1:03:25.640 --> 1:03:29.840 didn't say HR will send you an email detailing benefits 1:03:29.880 --> 1:03:33.920 in severance. Wow. Now Ivicial has been involved in this 1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:36.200 type of scandal before. In fact, this is the second 1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:40.320 time in his career he's fired employees like this. In fact, 1:03:40.360 --> 1:03:43.120 he said the last time he did it, he cried, listen, 1:03:43.400 --> 1:03:46.120 and I do not want to do this. The last 1:03:46.160 --> 1:03:48.440 time I did it, I cried. This time, I hope 1:03:48.480 --> 1:03:52.040 to be stronger. But we are laying off about fifteen 1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:56.000 percent of the company. If you're on this call, you 1:03:56.040 --> 1:04:00.680 are part of the unlucky group, you dude, being laid off. 1:04:01.760 --> 1:04:04.200 That's right, f you, dude. And this wasn't even his 1:04:04.280 --> 1:04:07.440 first controversy. He once sent an email to his staff 1:04:07.840 --> 1:04:10.960 saying you are too damn slow. You are a bunch 1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:14.400 of dumb dolphins, So stop it, stop it, stop it 1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:19.600 right now. You are embarrassing me in quote. First of all, Visual, 1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:23.280 how dare you insult dolphins in this way. I can't 1:04:23.280 --> 1:04:25.520 speak for your staff. I don't know your staff, but 1:04:25.800 --> 1:04:29.080 dumb dolphins is an oxymoron. Dolphins are one of the 1:04:29.160 --> 1:04:33.240 smartest animals in the world. Dolphins are notoriously talented mimics. 1:04:33.360 --> 1:04:37.960 They are quick learners. They demonstrate self awareness, problem solving, empathy, innovation, 1:04:38.080 --> 1:04:42.440 teaching skills, grief, joy, and playfulness. Dolphins. Okay, you are 1:04:42.560 --> 1:04:45.480 bugging if you think dolphins are dumb. I don't know 1:04:45.560 --> 1:04:48.240 your staff, but I know dolphins. So if you're calling 1:04:48.280 --> 1:04:51.960 dolphins dumb, then Visual, you might really be the one 1:04:52.000 --> 1:04:55.600 who lacks intelligence. We already know you lack emotional intelligence 1:04:55.600 --> 1:04:58.800 by the way you fired your nine hundred employees. Does 1:04:58.880 --> 1:05:02.680 everything have to be dig nowadays? That's my question? Why 1:05:02.720 --> 1:05:05.760 does everything have to be so impersonal? Give me the 1:05:05.840 --> 1:05:09.360 opportunity to do that walk of shame with HR out 1:05:09.360 --> 1:05:12.280 of the building, Give me that opportunity to curse you 1:05:12.320 --> 1:05:15.240 out in person. How can I tell someone. When one 1:05:15.320 --> 1:05:18.680 door closes, another one opens. If I didn't even get 1:05:18.680 --> 1:05:21.800 the chance to walk out the first door, what do 1:05:21.880 --> 1:05:24.440 we say now when somebody gets fired, or when you 1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:26.120 lose a job, or what do you say when one 1:05:26.200 --> 1:05:30.880 zoom meeting ends another one begins? Come on, man, technology 1:05:31.000 --> 1:05:34.560 is really making the world impersonal. The impersonal Internet has 1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:38.200 really replaced the human touch. Maybe this is the new wave. 1:05:38.720 --> 1:05:42.600 I don't know, but I don't like it. Please give 1:05:42.720 --> 1:05:46.560 Visual Guard, CEO of better dot Com, the biggest he had. 1:05:50.120 --> 1:05:52.200 In fact, let remy ma give him the biggest he 1:05:52.240 --> 1:05:56.960 har he ha he ha, you stupid motherfar are you dumb? 1:05:57.240 --> 1:05:59.360 I thank you for that. Donkey of the day. Now, 1:05:59.360 --> 1:06:02.080 when we come back, Ralph McDaniel's uncle Ralph will be 1:06:02.160 --> 1:06:05.280 joining us. He's the hosting creator of Video Music Box, 1:06:05.760 --> 1:06:08.560 one of the first shows to play hip hop videos. 1:06:08.600 --> 1:06:10.040 All right, that's probably where a lot of these other 1:06:10.080 --> 1:06:12.240 places got the idea from. So we're gonnakick it with 1:06:12.320 --> 1:06:14.200 Uncle Ralph when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. 1:06:14.200 --> 1:06:21.480 Good morning, the Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club.

Let's say, hey, good to be here, Breakfast Club. 1:06:37.440 --> 1:06:43.680 I'm I'm honored right now. Congratulations, thank you so much 1:06:43.840 --> 1:06:46.800 for the documentary on Video Music Box. Yeah. I watched 1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:48.680 it yesterday. I was I was hungover, so I was 1:06:48.800 --> 1:06:50.360 laying on the couch and I just turned it on. 1:06:50.520 --> 1:06:55.480 Oh good. Thoroughly enjoyed it, enjoyed its staples here in 1:06:55.520 --> 1:06:58.240 the Try State area. I remember it was video music 1:06:58.240 --> 1:07:01.439 back and it was New York hat. Yes, yes, yeah, 1:07:01.440 --> 1:07:04.800 you're showing your age now with New York. I have 1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:08.080 cable right if I wanted to see videos the only 1:07:08.120 --> 1:07:09.880 place back then you really could see it if you 1:07:09.960 --> 1:07:13.280 caught one of those shows thirty one, Yes Town thirty one. 1:07:13.640 --> 1:07:15.960 And you know, look, this has been something that we've 1:07:15.960 --> 1:07:17.560 been wanting to do. I've been working on this project 1:07:17.600 --> 1:07:19.720 for ten years. So we went to a bunch of 1:07:19.760 --> 1:07:23.240 hoops to get to showtime and master appeal, and then 1:07:23.320 --> 1:07:25.840 Naas came in and said, I want to get this right. 1:07:25.920 --> 1:07:27.640 And I almost cried when he said that, because I 1:07:28.480 --> 1:07:30.560 was like, what are you talking about, bro? How do 1:07:30.640 --> 1:07:33.520 you go through all that footage. Yeah, because you have 1:07:33.720 --> 1:07:35.680 a lot of footage. Now, if you don't know video 1:07:35.760 --> 1:07:38.479 music boxes, it's a video show that started off playing 1:07:38.520 --> 1:07:41.680 hip hop videos when nobody else would it was it 1:07:41.720 --> 1:07:43.680 wasn't on cable, so it was Channel thirty one, one 1:07:43.720 --> 1:07:45.600 of the high channels, and after school we'd all run 1:07:45.640 --> 1:07:47.680 home to go watch it. Yes, but you have footage 1:07:47.680 --> 1:07:50.080 of years. Man, how did you go through the footage 1:07:50.120 --> 1:07:51.880 to decide what you're gonna put in this documentary? Because 1:07:51.880 --> 1:07:54.120 the documentary was what ninety minutes? Ninety minutes? Yeah, it 1:07:54.120 --> 1:07:56.160 could have went to me for three hours and it 1:07:56.160 --> 1:07:58.880 would have been interesting. But you know, showtime was like easy, 1:07:58.920 --> 1:08:02.439 take it, easy path. So but you know, we filled 1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:04.800 up that ninety minutes with so much stuff, and you know, 1:08:04.840 --> 1:08:08.000 so many interviews were left on the editing floor. M 1:08:08.120 --> 1:08:10.280 it was difficult to to really shave it all down 1:08:10.280 --> 1:08:13.000 to ninety minutes. But you know, you got the eighties 1:08:13.040 --> 1:08:15.160 and the nineties. I said, the nineties are super important. 1:08:15.240 --> 1:08:17.519 Let's make sure that we got the nineties and makes 1:08:17.560 --> 1:08:19.240 make sure we got them more of that than the 1:08:19.240 --> 1:08:21.960 eighties because there's a lot more people around from the nineties. 1:08:22.000 --> 1:08:24.080 So let's touch on that. And I liked the nineties 1:08:24.080 --> 1:08:27.200 era myself a perspective, such a such a full circle 1:08:27.240 --> 1:08:29.960 moment for you to you didna this first video? Yes? 1:08:30.040 --> 1:08:32.360 And then for him to be executive producing this with 1:08:32.360 --> 1:08:35.320 with Massive hill Man, how did that feel? Um Naas 1:08:35.400 --> 1:08:38.080 came in and I looked at him and I said, 1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:40.960 you know, you know, this is something that I think 1:08:40.960 --> 1:08:44.240 you're going to enjoy. And originally he was the executive producer, 1:08:44.280 --> 1:08:46.880 he wasn't the director, and then he's somewhere in the 1:08:46.920 --> 1:08:49.280 middle set now I'm going to direct this and I 1:08:49.320 --> 1:08:52.320 want to get this right, Ralph, and and I just was, 1:08:52.400 --> 1:08:54.040 you know, it was, you know, like I did. It 1:08:54.080 --> 1:08:56.680 ain't hard to tell. The first single off of Illmatic, 1:08:57.000 --> 1:09:00.280 I directed that, and this thing called it ePK was 1:09:00.320 --> 1:09:02.360 really the thing that really broke Nahs in New York 1:09:02.680 --> 1:09:05.480 because it was like an interview with all the producers 1:09:05.560 --> 1:09:07.240 and all the people that were involved. I went to 1:09:07.280 --> 1:09:09.519 his house hung out in Queensbridge. It was just like 1:09:09.560 --> 1:09:11.880 a little short documentary that I did from Nah. So 1:09:12.040 --> 1:09:14.920 now he's doing, you know, my thing, and I'm like bugging. 1:09:15.000 --> 1:09:18.920 I'm like wow, like this is the god Yeah, it's 1:09:19.040 --> 1:09:20.360 one of those things. It's like, Yo, you never know 1:09:20.360 --> 1:09:22.560 who's gonna be who. That's why you should show everybody. 1:09:22.720 --> 1:09:25.920 Everybody love, key key. You know. We see people all 1:09:25.920 --> 1:09:28.519 the time that come up, and I always show people 1:09:28.560 --> 1:09:31.040 respect because I don't know, first of all, because I'm 1:09:31.040 --> 1:09:33.599 from the street and I understand respect the street, you know, 1:09:33.880 --> 1:09:35.400 because we got to go out there in these in 1:09:35.439 --> 1:09:37.880 these blocks all the time, you know, and I'm like, 1:09:38.000 --> 1:09:40.599 we don't want no problems out here, so I never 1:09:40.600 --> 1:09:43.519 know who's who, and let's continue to respect him. And 1:09:43.560 --> 1:09:45.720 I think that people say, man, you be out here, 1:09:46.040 --> 1:09:48.479 you know, you on the av and you in this place, 1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:50.360 and I'm like, you don't got no bodyguards. They'd be 1:09:50.439 --> 1:09:53.280 looking around, like where do I'm like, I'm good, what's up. 1:09:53.320 --> 1:09:54.760 I was gonna ask that you ever got into any 1:09:54.800 --> 1:09:56.600 any any problems because like with Fat Joe said on 1:09:56.720 --> 1:09:58.640 the documentary, yeah, you know, I'm on my block and 1:09:58.680 --> 1:10:00.880 they say video music box, the party down the block. 1:10:00.920 --> 1:10:03.360 And you were in the Bronx, You went in Brooklyn, 1:10:03.439 --> 1:10:05.559 you went to la you went to Ye, you went 1:10:05.600 --> 1:10:07.519 to the hood, you on Jamaica Avenue, you you were 1:10:07.640 --> 1:10:10.320 in the hoods. Did you ever have a prom at all, um, 1:10:10.600 --> 1:10:13.280 you know, we probably did. But my man Beasts, Yeah 1:10:13.280 --> 1:10:16.960 you highlighted them in the day. Yeah, But Beasts is 1:10:17.000 --> 1:10:19.000 not like my security. He was my friend, you know, 1:10:19.080 --> 1:10:21.200 like we weren't like you know people. He did security 1:10:21.200 --> 1:10:23.600 for all these other people like that. You know, he 1:10:23.680 --> 1:10:26.439 became known for white cleft and everything. And he's known. 1:10:26.520 --> 1:10:28.960 He's in the Shots movie and everybody knows him for 1:10:29.000 --> 1:10:31.040 shot Is because he blows up the whole place is 1:10:31.040 --> 1:10:35.120 he's acting, right. But but Beasts was official, you know. 1:10:35.280 --> 1:10:37.559 You know, he's official cat, you know. And and so 1:10:37.600 --> 1:10:40.240 we kept guys like that. They just hung around it. 1:10:40.320 --> 1:10:42.920 I tell you tell people list a lot of not Beasts, 1:10:42.920 --> 1:10:44.519 but a lot of the other guys that worked with us. 1:10:44.560 --> 1:10:47.520 All had come home from jail. They needed an opportunity. 1:10:47.640 --> 1:10:48.960 And I said, loo, I'm gonna give you all the 1:10:48.960 --> 1:10:51.280 opportunity to work with me, but you can't screw it up, 1:10:51.560 --> 1:10:54.120 you know. And most of those guys took it and 1:10:54.439 --> 1:10:56.200 ran with it and did the right thing. Now, Video 1:10:56.280 --> 1:10:58.400 Music Box was really just in the Tri State area, 1:10:58.439 --> 1:11:00.920 but people knew about it from all over. Why do 1:11:00.960 --> 1:11:04.000 you think it never ended up going national? Well, in 1:11:04.080 --> 1:11:06.880 the dock, I said that I went to MTV and 1:11:07.320 --> 1:11:10.200 there was this concert called The Fresh Fresh and I 1:11:10.240 --> 1:11:12.559 went there and I was like, I saw a mixture 1:11:12.560 --> 1:11:15.280 of everybody, so white people, black people, Asian people. I said, Oh, 1:11:15.360 --> 1:11:17.880 this is happening right now. And I went to MTV 1:11:18.320 --> 1:11:22.080 and they were like, no, Middle America's not ready for this, Ralph, 1:11:22.120 --> 1:11:23.840 you know, it's not happening right now. And I'm like, 1:11:23.880 --> 1:11:26.200 there's a tour, it's going out. I got the videotapes, 1:11:26.400 --> 1:11:27.840 take a look at it. And they were like, no, 1:11:28.200 --> 1:11:29.960 you don't need to pull out the tapes. It's okay. 1:11:30.040 --> 1:11:33.000 We already know what we're gonna do. And then two 1:11:33.080 --> 1:11:35.800 years later they did you know, MTV raps and you know, 1:11:35.840 --> 1:11:38.000 and people thought, oh, you got me tight right now. 1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:40.680 And I wasn't tight then. I was gonna type the 1:11:40.680 --> 1:11:43.040 first time because I knew that it was happening already 1:11:43.040 --> 1:11:44.920 and they could have had to jump on it. So 1:11:45.240 --> 1:11:47.920 my whole career, I've been a little bit early. You 1:11:47.960 --> 1:11:49.840 know how that is. Sometimes you're a little bit early, 1:11:50.120 --> 1:11:52.360 so you don't really take it and go like, oh man, 1:11:52.520 --> 1:11:54.519 y'are trying to jerk me. I didn't take it like that. 1:11:54.560 --> 1:11:56.439 I just said it was early and then that was it, 1:11:56.520 --> 1:11:59.280 you know, and then what happens after that and people 1:11:59.320 --> 1:12:01.360 do what they do, and when MTV comes out, I 1:12:01.360 --> 1:12:04.080 mean your MTV Raps comes out, and Rap City and 1:12:04.600 --> 1:12:07.559 whatever else was out there. You know, it all kind 1:12:07.560 --> 1:12:09.880 of feels like video music Box to people. But you know, 1:12:09.920 --> 1:12:11.599 whatever it was gonna be was what it's gonna be. 1:12:11.760 --> 1:12:13.640 Was there have any network that came to you and 1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:16.280 wanted to do it once? Remember there was this show 1:12:16.320 --> 1:12:20.880 called um Man, My Girl, D Bonds, uh pump it Up? 1:12:23.040 --> 1:12:25.200 So they asked me to do that, but they wanted 1:12:25.200 --> 1:12:27.360 me to stop doing Video Music Box. And I could 1:12:27.360 --> 1:12:30.719 tell that at the time, Fox was not really serious 1:12:30.760 --> 1:12:32.960 about this hip hop thing, and I was like, I'm 1:12:32.960 --> 1:12:35.320 not gonna stop what I'm doing and commit to y'all. 1:12:35.640 --> 1:12:37.840 And then, you know, six months later, Org, no, it's 1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:40.439 not working, and then I'm stuck, you know, So I 1:12:40.439 --> 1:12:42.519 said no. I said, I'm going to continue to do 1:12:42.560 --> 1:12:45.320 my little local show. Why what's the problem, y'all? This 1:12:45.400 --> 1:12:47.080 is a national program you don't want me to do 1:12:47.360 --> 1:12:49.040 And they were like, no, you can't do that. And 1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:51.400 I felt like, you know, I was, I can't do that, 1:12:51.520 --> 1:12:54.400 and M and D Bonds did it and um, and 1:12:54.439 --> 1:12:56.840 so we yeah, that's what happened. How did you get paid? 1:12:56.920 --> 1:12:59.479 Original from video music box? Because there was no commercial, 1:13:00.439 --> 1:13:02.240 but you would travel, you go for borrow to borrow, 1:13:02.240 --> 1:13:04.760 you in city to city, club to clubs. You had expenses, 1:13:05.040 --> 1:13:07.320 So how did you get paid? How was you making money? 1:13:07.800 --> 1:13:10.600 That's why we started giving parties, you know, and I 1:13:10.720 --> 1:13:13.160 fat Joe says, Yo, that's what DJ's do. You know, 1:13:13.240 --> 1:13:15.000 we don't get paid a lot of money, and we 1:13:15.080 --> 1:13:17.679 do whatever we do to have events and do things, 1:13:18.040 --> 1:13:19.920 you know. And that's what we did. You know, we 1:13:19.920 --> 1:13:22.320 were sitting the club and watch a promoter at give 1:13:22.400 --> 1:13:24.640 giving us like three hundred dollars to show up and 1:13:24.680 --> 1:13:27.479 he walking away with you know, twenty five thousand and 1:13:27.479 --> 1:13:29.760 thirty thousand dollars in his pocket in the club, you know, 1:13:29.760 --> 1:13:31.880 And I was like, that don't make sense because everybody 1:13:31.920 --> 1:13:34.400 came here for us, So we're gonna start doing that, 1:13:34.880 --> 1:13:37.280 and um, and that's what we did. Me my man, Sam, 1:13:37.320 --> 1:13:40.559 Crazy Sam. All these dudes were like, you know, we 1:13:40.560 --> 1:13:42.479 was doing three or four parties in the night, you know, 1:13:42.640 --> 1:13:44.800 and you know, just walking away with the money and 1:13:44.880 --> 1:13:47.160 going okay, we're good. Yeah, you're explaining the ductor you 1:13:47.160 --> 1:13:50.280 never actually made money off the show, No, no, because 1:13:50.320 --> 1:13:52.360 it was at first it was on a PBS channel 1:13:52.920 --> 1:13:55.479 and so it was non commercial, which was great really 1:13:55.800 --> 1:13:59.519 because it gave us the opportunity to educate where you know, 1:13:59.560 --> 1:14:02.080 you can't really do that in commercial world, like you know, 1:14:02.280 --> 1:14:03.920 no time for that. We got a round commercials, bro. 1:14:04.160 --> 1:14:06.920 We ain't trying to help the community, you know, you know, 1:14:07.000 --> 1:14:09.080 we we wanted to do a lot of that and 1:14:09.120 --> 1:14:10.560 we did do that in the show. So it was 1:14:10.600 --> 1:14:13.919 a balance of both and that's how we got through. Um, 1:14:13.960 --> 1:14:16.400 you know, being on that station, we got more with 1:14:16.479 --> 1:14:18.880 Uncle Ralph, Ralph McDaniels when we come back. Of course, 1:14:18.920 --> 1:14:22.120 he's the creator a video music box. It's the Breakfast 1:14:22.120 --> 1:14:26.800 Club The Morning, The Morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne, 1:14:26.800 --> 1:14:28.679 the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking 1:14:28.720 --> 1:14:31.160 it with Uncle Ralph Charlomagne. You know, you got the 1:14:31.240 --> 1:14:35.840 video of of Bigger Nas freestyle and you know Jay 1:14:35.880 --> 1:14:38.600 and Big in the club all great, But what is 1:14:38.640 --> 1:14:42.360 your most prized piece of footage? M hm, that's a 1:14:42.360 --> 1:14:46.920 good question. Um. I think for me, Um, it's probably 1:14:47.000 --> 1:14:51.240 Big and Jay when they did the My Birthday because 1:14:51.240 --> 1:14:53.120 that was really kind of like out of the blue, 1:14:53.560 --> 1:14:57.200 and Jay came and was hosting it and they and 1:14:57.240 --> 1:14:59.439 they were both at the early stages of their career. 1:14:59.600 --> 1:15:02.800 Was like beginning of Rockefeller and the Big you know, 1:15:02.960 --> 1:15:06.479 beginning of Big, you know at Bad Boy and and 1:15:06.520 --> 1:15:09.040 they just in the place was crowded. You know, this 1:15:09.120 --> 1:15:11.000 is when people got dressed up and they danced at 1:15:11.040 --> 1:15:14.680 clubs and remember that, and you know, it was just 1:15:14.720 --> 1:15:16.639 one of those nights where you were like, couldn't call 1:15:16.680 --> 1:15:18.599 that any better than that. That was that was a 1:15:18.600 --> 1:15:21.000 beautiful night. You know, it was like everybody, your peers 1:15:21.000 --> 1:15:23.599 were there, you know, just you know, one of those 1:15:23.680 --> 1:15:25.679 one of those shows that was just it was perfect. 1:15:25.720 --> 1:15:28.599 But you didn't realize that those two individuals would become 1:15:28.640 --> 1:15:32.000 these mythical yeah, you know, beings that they are now 1:15:32.479 --> 1:15:34.960 right right. You always say, you know, people always ask me, 1:15:35.000 --> 1:15:37.360 what if Big was alive, what would that be like 1:15:37.640 --> 1:15:40.439 between him and Jay and Nas, Like what would that 1:15:40.760 --> 1:15:43.040 you know, what would that look like? And I don't know, 1:15:43.200 --> 1:15:46.360 you know, like I mean Nas, you know is you know, 1:15:46.360 --> 1:15:48.479 like I'm a fan of like, you know, poets and 1:15:48.640 --> 1:15:50.880 you know, and Nas is that that kind of spiritual 1:15:51.000 --> 1:15:53.439 kind of thing. You know. That's how when he started 1:15:53.439 --> 1:15:56.240 doing my thing, I was like, this is a spiritual dude. Man, 1:15:56.320 --> 1:15:58.000 Like I'm gonna be in a good place, you know. 1:15:58.000 --> 1:15:59.760 I see. I used. All I was saying to to 1:16:00.320 --> 1:16:03.360 was we gotta have that hip hop soul. Bro. No, 1:16:03.640 --> 1:16:05.880 you know, because I watched documentaries and I'm like, this 1:16:06.040 --> 1:16:09.120 is mad generic right now. We noticed everybody. If people 1:16:09.240 --> 1:16:11.360 notice all this information, we don't need to go through this. 1:16:11.680 --> 1:16:13.840 Let's get into different stories. And that's what I wanted 1:16:13.880 --> 1:16:15.840 to do with this. And he was like, got it, 1:16:15.880 --> 1:16:18.840 and he just started working and making sure that the 1:16:18.920 --> 1:16:22.080 direction took the right direction because we know, yeah it 1:16:22.200 --> 1:16:24.240 was the Bronx, and we know there was dances, and 1:16:24.280 --> 1:16:26.760 we know graffiti. We know that already. We there's more 1:16:26.800 --> 1:16:28.560 stories to us than that. You know. To me, the 1:16:28.640 --> 1:16:31.320 soul comes from your footage, yes, you know what I mean, 1:16:31.360 --> 1:16:34.360 Like your footage throughout gives it that warmth, makes it 1:16:34.560 --> 1:16:37.680 you know classic. Yeah, yeah, nah, I mean, And I'm 1:16:37.840 --> 1:16:40.400 I'm super happy that you know that we still have 1:16:40.479 --> 1:16:42.920 the footage because I thought about that too when you 1:16:42.960 --> 1:16:45.080 whenever you showed the room. I'm always thinking about what 1:16:45.160 --> 1:16:46.960 if he'd lost all of that the way Rizzly lost 1:16:47.000 --> 1:16:51.200 all that, right, Yeah, yeah, rizz you know, loss so 1:16:51.280 --> 1:16:53.360 many of his masters. But you know, we've been in 1:16:53.400 --> 1:16:55.920 the last One thing about the pandemic is it got 1:16:55.920 --> 1:16:59.840 me to be around and really work on digitizing all 1:17:00.080 --> 1:17:03.320 this content. So I just was like, yo, I gotta 1:17:03.360 --> 1:17:05.519 get this done. And we started in a nonprofit, the 1:17:05.600 --> 1:17:08.920 Video Music Box Collection, and we started raising money for it, 1:17:09.000 --> 1:17:11.320 and you know, and people started, you know, giving us 1:17:11.320 --> 1:17:13.200 a couple of dollars. We're still raising money for I 1:17:13.200 --> 1:17:16.040 still need money for people, give me some money. But 1:17:16.360 --> 1:17:18.960 we that is what helped us get to the point 1:17:19.000 --> 1:17:21.519 where we have. You know, you can look at this 1:17:21.600 --> 1:17:24.040 content and be like, wow, it's pretty clear. You know 1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:28.400 thirty years ago. You know, you remember the DVD day 1:17:28.680 --> 1:17:30.720 all of that. You know, there's guys out there that 1:17:30.800 --> 1:17:33.760 can have content that is super important. Man restore it, 1:17:33.840 --> 1:17:36.839 take care of it. Our history, hip hop history is important. 1:17:37.040 --> 1:17:40.960 History is black history is important. But you know, sometimes 1:17:41.000 --> 1:17:42.960 our stuff just gets pushed to the side. There's been 1:17:43.000 --> 1:17:46.719 so many masters and visuals that have been lost over 1:17:46.760 --> 1:17:49.280 the years, and it's like, wait a minute, somebody just 1:17:49.360 --> 1:17:53.160 threw that away because they didn't think it was important, Like, well, 1:17:53.200 --> 1:17:56.679 who did that? You know happens all the time? Part two? 1:17:56.760 --> 1:17:58.360 Since you said you do have a lot of footage 1:17:58.400 --> 1:18:01.439 that you weren't even able to use for this one. Yeah, 1:18:01.479 --> 1:18:05.040 I told um showtime, like yo, we could do two, 1:18:05.240 --> 1:18:07.840 three more you know, and some other stories that we 1:18:07.840 --> 1:18:09.920 got in the books. So that's on the plate for 1:18:09.920 --> 1:18:13.200 twenty twenty two. I would like to see artists talk 1:18:13.280 --> 1:18:15.840 about those moments more, like I want to just hear 1:18:15.960 --> 1:18:18.960 nas go more in death on the Big Thing because 1:18:19.040 --> 1:18:20.920 he said something and the doctor I didn't know. He 1:18:20.960 --> 1:18:22.320 was like, yo, him and Big with us to start 1:18:22.320 --> 1:18:24.880 a crew right called the good Fellas. And I was like, 1:18:25.160 --> 1:18:26.840 well then what didn't him and Jay weren't they gonna 1:18:26.840 --> 1:18:29.120 start the commission? Big and Jay? So I'm like, right, 1:18:29.280 --> 1:18:32.240 what what did that have look like? You know? I 1:18:32.240 --> 1:18:34.439 would like to hit the artists see those videos and 1:18:34.520 --> 1:18:37.960 those moments and how they remember. The crazy thing about 1:18:38.040 --> 1:18:41.640 that moment is that in that night was like method 1:18:41.680 --> 1:18:45.240 Man was there j birthday party? Jones? Well, miss Jones 1:18:45.280 --> 1:18:47.640 says that it wasn't a birthday party, it was an 1:18:47.640 --> 1:18:50.160 album released party, but I'm pretty sure it was a birthday, 1:18:50.200 --> 1:18:53.840 but I don't know much, but um yeah, anyway, you know, 1:18:53.960 --> 1:18:56.360 Common was there. You know, there were so many artists 1:18:56.400 --> 1:18:58.320 that were just getting ready to come up, you know, 1:18:58.400 --> 1:19:00.479 and I was like, you know, I look at the 1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:02.559 footage and you know, now sucks about it was a 1:19:02.560 --> 1:19:04.880 fight behind him, there was, you know, and we knew 1:19:04.880 --> 1:19:06.760 it was coming like one of those parties with somebody 1:19:06.800 --> 1:19:11.320 gonna fight and this.

Look at this person. You ever see some 1:19:21.280 --> 1:19:23.840 of those Yeah, you know. I had that conversation with 1:19:24.040 --> 1:19:27.800 Jay Cole because he went to Saint John's University and 1:19:28.000 --> 1:19:29.560 was a fan of Video Music Box when he was 1:19:29.600 --> 1:19:32.720 at Saint John. And Jay Cole was like, man, you know, 1:19:33.360 --> 1:19:34.920 you know, I came to your parties, I came to 1:19:34.960 --> 1:19:36.840 your offense. I know who you are, you know, and 1:19:36.880 --> 1:19:39.479 this was a young guy and I was like, I 1:19:39.560 --> 1:19:41.680 knew who was music. I was familiar with him, and 1:19:41.720 --> 1:19:43.800 I was like, yo, I appreciate you man, You're coming 1:19:43.840 --> 1:19:46.439 up the same thing with Asap Rocky. You know, He's like, yo, man, 1:19:46.439 --> 1:19:48.200 I gotta call my mom. I'm standing next to Raph 1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:51.760 McDaniels right now, you know. And and asap Ferg I 1:19:51.840 --> 1:19:54.200 knew his dad, you know. So I see these people 1:19:54.240 --> 1:19:57.360 in in in the in the at their young stage 1:19:57.400 --> 1:20:00.439 and now to watch like I did this interview with Fergan, 1:20:00.520 --> 1:20:02.360 I was like, yo, bro, you're doing some amazing thing. 1:20:02.400 --> 1:20:05.519 He's building furniture and cars and okay, you know, like 1:20:06.240 --> 1:20:08.679 that's what we did this for for that to happen. 1:20:09.320 --> 1:20:11.160 I saw j D. I saw j D and some 1:20:11.320 --> 1:20:14.240 footage with Udini on the duck. I use that footage 1:20:14.280 --> 1:20:16.120 all the time too, yet paid every time I use 1:20:16.160 --> 1:20:22.240 your footage. Yes, how do you want Video Music Box 1:20:22.280 --> 1:20:25.599 to be remembered? The whole idea of this you're watching 1:20:25.680 --> 1:20:28.760 Video Music Box film was to not be forgotten because 1:20:28.760 --> 1:20:32.240 I could easily see how our history is forgotten and 1:20:32.600 --> 1:20:35.439 the importance of us just giving an artist a little 1:20:35.479 --> 1:20:38.080 bit of a break, a little bit of three minutes 1:20:38.120 --> 1:20:40.479 of a of a music video or a shout out 1:20:41.000 --> 1:20:43.639 is what catapulted all of these artists that we now 1:20:43.760 --> 1:20:47.360 know and love into stardom. And you know, making a 1:20:47.360 --> 1:20:49.280 whole bunch of money, and I was like, we can't 1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:51.519 let that go. You know, my daughter is to produce 1:20:51.600 --> 1:20:54.840 on it. And I said, Kim, you know, we gotta 1:20:54.920 --> 1:20:57.439 keep this legacy everybody, not just me. You know, we 1:20:57.520 --> 1:20:59.760 just gotta keep out like we don't do that, you know, 1:21:00.040 --> 1:21:03.479 Black folks, you know, you know, all these other names 1:21:03.479 --> 1:21:07.360 are on buildings or whatever. They're important. We need to 1:21:07.360 --> 1:21:09.759 get our names on buildings. We have so many street 1:21:09.840 --> 1:21:13.000 names being changed. Now. That's the process of starting to 1:21:13.040 --> 1:21:16.479 do that, you know, getting name changing in community so 1:21:16.479 --> 1:21:18.480 that we see a name or we see a statue 1:21:18.520 --> 1:21:20.760 that we can relate to us. And that's what this 1:21:20.840 --> 1:21:23.800 is part of the same concept. And they're certain people 1:21:23.800 --> 1:21:26.080 whenever they call you should always pick up that phone 1:21:26.120 --> 1:21:28.120 and say, yes, what do you need me for? And 1:21:28.200 --> 1:21:30.760 you're one of those people. Ralph McDaniel Solf. He's going 1:21:30.840 --> 1:21:33.000 to put that out there too.

He has gotten two 1:22:12.320 --> 1:22:15.400 nominations for the twenty twenty two Grammys, and that was 1:22:15.439 --> 1:22:17.400 for Best Rap Album for Certified Love a Boy and 1:22:17.439 --> 1:22:20.200 for Best Rap Performance for A Way Too Sexy. Now, 1:22:20.200 --> 1:22:22.679 we're not sure why that decision was made, but they're 1:22:23.160 --> 1:22:26.080 going to remove it from the Grammy website in an update. 1:22:26.160 --> 1:22:30.439 So I'm not sure what happened here, but you know, 1:22:30.479 --> 1:22:33.479 remember The Weekend didn't get any Grammy nominations last year, 1:22:34.040 --> 1:22:37.720 and so he criticized the Grammys for that. I know 1:22:37.760 --> 1:22:41.280 they have a good relationship, and so Drake had made 1:22:41.280 --> 1:22:43.120 a statement at the time. He said, I think we 1:22:43.160 --> 1:22:45.479 should stop allowing ourselves to be shocked every year by 1:22:45.479 --> 1:22:48.559 the disconnect between impactful music and these awards and just 1:22:48.680 --> 1:22:51.640 accept that what once was the highest form of recognition 1:22:51.920 --> 1:22:54.160 may no longer matter to the artists that exists now 1:22:54.200 --> 1:22:56.880 and the ones that come after that and he said, 1:22:56.920 --> 1:22:58.840 this is a great time to start something new that 1:22:58.920 --> 1:23:01.160 we can build up over town and pass on to 1:23:01.240 --> 1:23:03.839 the generations to come. I think he cares about the Grammys. 1:23:03.840 --> 1:23:06.160 I mean, he made a great album in Drake is Spitting. 1:23:06.360 --> 1:23:08.320 If you listen to a lot of Drake's wraps and 1:23:08.320 --> 1:23:10.880 what he's rhyming and his features, that boy will fire. 1:23:10.920 --> 1:23:14.160 You don't care all right now. Pete Davidson and Machine 1:23:14.200 --> 1:23:16.320 Gun Kelly, I know you enjoyed this. They did a 1:23:16.360 --> 1:23:19.880 live stream and they were doing a photo shoot wearing 1:23:19.920 --> 1:23:23.920 their Calvin Klein briefs and so the two of them 1:23:24.000 --> 1:23:26.760 kind of stripped down to their underwear for this campaign 1:23:27.479 --> 1:23:31.520 and they did like a little fake, funny, spicy photo shoot. 1:23:31.560 --> 1:23:34.639 They took turns posing on the couch and then there 1:23:34.720 --> 1:23:37.080 was one scene where Pete Davidson is on the cow 1:23:37.160 --> 1:23:41.080 test Machine Gun Kelly is pouring popcorn into his mouth. 1:23:41.560 --> 1:23:44.280 It was weird, but did they pause. Here's what it 1:23:44.320 --> 1:23:46.120 was sounding like. I don't know, this is what I 1:23:46.120 --> 1:23:49.920 was kind of picturing. Nice stuff by the way, Now, yeah, 1:23:51.439 --> 1:23:53.679 I just I would have put an extra like two 1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:57.240 socks in there and just always got to fuck up 1:23:57.320 --> 1:23:59.400 or get a sweet in between her going yeah, for sure, 1:23:59.479 --> 1:24:01.680 you can't let go cold, you know what I mean? 1:24:02.000 --> 1:24:04.160 And I'm freezing right now. How Yeah, I am a 1:24:04.160 --> 1:24:06.680 grower for sure. I'm not really a growl or a 1:24:06.680 --> 1:24:10.559 shower for sure. It's actually a scientific wonder. That's okay, 1:24:10.560 --> 1:24:12.800 We'll just get a new agents. Just having fun, man, 1:24:12.840 --> 1:24:16.040 that's all it is. They just having fun. And Calvin 1:24:16.080 --> 1:24:18.200 Klein did year a photo of the two of them 1:24:18.240 --> 1:24:20.439 at the camera, so I guess it's a campaign for 1:24:20.520 --> 1:24:23.000 Calvin Klein. It worked, yeah, And Calvin Clean, please stop 1:24:23.040 --> 1:24:25.439 calling me. I don't like I don't want to do it, 1:24:25.560 --> 1:24:27.200 you know. I know you guys offer me a lot 1:24:27.240 --> 1:24:29.240 to you know, be underway a model. I don't want 1:24:29.240 --> 1:24:31.519 to do it. I just don't. Is it that Calvin 1:24:31.600 --> 1:24:33.680 or is it the Calvin who works at McDonald's. No, 1:24:33.840 --> 1:24:36.360 Calvin klean to me a lot, but I don't want 1:24:36.360 --> 1:24:37.400 to do it. I don't want to show if my 1:24:37.400 --> 1:24:39.920 body like that. We don't want you to do it either, 1:24:40.040 --> 1:24:43.719 all right. And Virgil, they did on a Virgil Ablow 1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:47.439 in his hometown. There was a memorial and there were 1:24:47.439 --> 1:24:50.479 a lot of people that participated to pay their respects 1:24:50.479 --> 1:24:55.679 to the family. Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Kanye Tyler, the Creator, 1:24:56.280 --> 1:25:00.400 Drake Kid, Cutty, Frank Ocean Asap Rocky. And so this 1:25:00.439 --> 1:25:04.240 was all in Chicago at the Museum of Contemporary Art yesterday. 1:25:04.720 --> 1:25:08.000 And so here is his sister, Edwina Abelow. And here's 1:25:08.000 --> 1:25:11.080 what you had to say. As Virgil once said in 1:25:11.080 --> 1:25:15.760 a slat show, there's no woman. Life is short. And 1:25:15.800 --> 1:25:19.479 then you can't waste even the day subscribing to what 1:25:19.600 --> 1:25:23.519 people think you should do. Virgil was the permanent mark 1:25:23.760 --> 1:25:27.479 on the world in which we will never forget. Your 1:25:27.560 --> 1:25:31.000 legacy will continue to flourish in the eyes of woe 1:25:31.320 --> 1:25:36.680 and great. I'm forever grateful for you. Wrist fell, my 1:25:36.840 --> 1:25:41.120 sweet and gentle again. Arrest in peace to Virgil. He 1:25:41.160 --> 1:25:44.120 was only forty one years old when he passed away 1:25:44.120 --> 1:25:46.599 from cancer. It was a private battle that he did 1:25:46.600 --> 1:25:51.360 not disclose publicly. Only his closest friends were aware of it. Alright, 1:25:51.400 --> 1:25:54.760 in this comedy festival, this sounds like something amazing. To 1:25:54.840 --> 1:25:58.000 go to Netflix is a joke. Now, this festival was 1:25:58.000 --> 1:26:00.919 supposed to happen last year, but because of the pandemic 1:26:00.960 --> 1:26:03.479 that it didn't happen. But now it is going to happen, 1:26:03.479 --> 1:26:05.639 and that's gonna be April twenty ninth to May eighth 1:26:05.640 --> 1:26:09.240 of twenty twenty two. So we know some of the 1:26:09.280 --> 1:26:13.160 people who would be on that stage. Dave Chappelle, okay, 1:26:13.200 --> 1:26:17.200 Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, Yeah, Wanda Psykes, Jerry Seinfeld, David 1:26:17.240 --> 1:26:20.240 let Himan, Chris Rock Ali Wang. Wow. Yes, it's gonna 1:26:20.280 --> 1:26:22.280 be huge, and so I think that would be something 1:26:22.320 --> 1:26:25.840 really fun to go to. This is in La Okay, 1:26:26.280 --> 1:26:29.280 I feel like we need to be there. So in addition, 1:26:29.280 --> 1:26:31.759 there's going to be Dion Cole as he's un sorry, 1:26:31.960 --> 1:26:35.919 Chelsea Handler, Kevin Hart, some of our favorites, Pete Davidson 1:26:35.960 --> 1:26:39.080 will be there, Ellen DeGeneres, Whill performing. It's what they're 1:26:39.080 --> 1:26:41.280 calling kind of the Coachella of comedy, but not saying 1:26:41.280 --> 1:26:46.640 the name Coachella because yeah, no, they're not doing that, 1:26:47.000 --> 1:26:49.240 all right. So yeah, so that sounds like something really 1:26:49.240 --> 1:26:51.439 dope to go to. So that is Netflix is a 1:26:51.960 --> 1:26:54.439 Netflix does have a lot of the best comedy specials 1:26:54.439 --> 1:26:56.400 on there too, Yes they do.

We had to run 1:29:18.160 --> 1:29:20.720 an audible. It's supposed to snow in New York, so 1:29:21.080 --> 1:29:23.080 I have to get the cars out of here so 1:29:23.120 --> 1:29:24.400 I can get them to the car show. We got 1:29:24.439 --> 1:29:28.439 about thirty forty cars heading out to Miami, so all 1:29:28.560 --> 1:29:31.040 day today I'll be driving the cars to the trucks 1:29:31.040 --> 1:29:33.400 and getting them loaded because we just gotta get these 1:29:33.439 --> 1:29:35.120 cars out of here. I don't want no problems with snow. 1:29:35.160 --> 1:29:36.840 I don't want no accidents. You know, we got a 1:29:36.840 --> 1:29:39.639 lot of valuable cars and a lot of people's cars 1:29:39.680 --> 1:29:41.920 on these trucks, so we're gonna get these cars out today. 1:29:41.920 --> 1:29:43.439 If you haven't got your tickets to the car show, 1:29:43.600 --> 1:29:46.479 get your tickets. Celebrity cars from Calid It's gonna have 1:29:46.520 --> 1:29:50.000 some cars in the show. Yo Gotti, floor Rider, Trina, 1:29:50.160 --> 1:29:53.280 Dwayne Wade, Nikki Jams, just to name a few. So 1:29:54.040 --> 1:29:56.240 get your tickets if you haven't got them already. Yeah, 1:29:56.240 --> 1:29:57.960 And I want to shout out to tam La Payne. 1:29:58.000 --> 1:30:01.719 Her son, Casey Goodson, was killed by a police officer. 1:30:01.840 --> 1:30:03.720 She hit me up. She said, she's probably going to 1:30:03.800 --> 1:30:06.599 be at your car show. So yeah, and we've had 1:30:06.640 --> 1:30:09.479 her on the Breakfast Club before. But she's still trying 1:30:09.479 --> 1:30:13.320 to get justice for her son. And so there's been 1:30:13.360 --> 1:30:17.160 some more news lately. The cop who did kill her 1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:21.719 son is actually being indicted, So I think that's important 1:30:21.800 --> 1:30:25.000 information and we'll be following that case very closely. He 1:30:25.120 --> 1:30:28.479 was going to subway walking up to his house and 1:30:29.560 --> 1:30:35.080 hadn't done anything wrong. And so finally the Ohio deputy 1:30:35.120 --> 1:30:38.120 has been charged with murder in the case of Casey 1:30:38.120 --> 1:30:40.400 Goodson Jr. And she's been fighting for this for quite 1:30:40.479 --> 1:30:43.439 some time right now, so there's no body camera, no 1:30:43.560 --> 1:30:47.280 dash cam footage. Everything that happened is still largely unexplained, 1:30:47.680 --> 1:30:49.479 and so they were fighting just to even have this 1:30:49.560 --> 1:30:52.760 case heard. So I'm happy to say that at least 1:30:53.040 --> 1:30:56.040 that's happening. You know, so far he had a sandwich 1:30:56.080 --> 1:31:00.920 in his hand, not a gun, and there you have it. 1:31:01.080 --> 1:31:03.320 So we'll keep you guys updated on that though it's 1:31:03.360 --> 1:31:05.840 been a really tough year for her, So shout out 1:31:05.840 --> 1:31:10.439 to Toma Lapaine. All right, well you got a positive note. Yes, 1:31:10.520 --> 1:31:13.360 and this comes from Arthur mel Robbins who's been on 1:31:13.400 --> 1:31:16.160 the Breakfast Club before. She said, you don't let go 1:31:16.160 --> 1:31:18.519 of a bad relationship because you stopped caring about them. 1:31:18.560 --> 1:31:21.600 You let go because you finally start caring about yourself. 1:31:22.240 --> 1:31:24.960 Breakfast Club, you're finish her. Y'all dumb,
