Speaker 5: just so Yeah, he loves to hurt.
Speaker 6: And you stick around for it.
Speaker 5: You right, you're right. Well, let's jump right into it.
Speaker 5: Let's talk what's going on with the migrants, tesla, what's up?
Speaker 5: But first of all, good morning y'all started.
Speaker 6: In hot Yes, good morning.
Speaker 10: This is behind the scene conversation with me.
Speaker 11: Good morning, good morning, long, good morning, Charlemagne.
Speaker 9: God.
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, last night I stayed up late. I wanted
Speaker 11: to make sure we got this story on the six o'clock.
Speaker 11: For a second night, dozens of protesters rallied outside of
Speaker 11: Island Shores Senior Center on Staten Island, which is now
Speaker 11: housing about fifteen asylum seeking families, bringing signs that read
Speaker 11: America First, and a protester said they did not want
Speaker 11: the city to send these families to the residential neighborhoods.
Speaker 11: They said that we should be helping our own people first.
Speaker 11: But Wednesday's demonstration was tamed compared to the night earlier,
Speaker 11: when ten people were arrested, including for insulting a police officer,
Speaker 11: assaulting a police officer. So that's listen to the story
Speaker 11: and what the Biden administration did about it last night.
Speaker 1: I think everyone's really angry.
Speaker 12: The migrant crisis has reached apocalyptic proportions.
Speaker 1: Financially for our.
Speaker 13: City, stan Island only has two percent of the asylum seekers,
Speaker 13: and as you can see, other boroughs are doing their
Speaker 13: best to ensure that they continue supporting and being a
Speaker 13: welcoming burrel.
Speaker 1: As they rallied.
Speaker 14: Wednesday, the Biden administration announced it will grant temporary protected
Speaker 14: status to Venezuelans who came to the US before July
Speaker 14: thirty first of this year.
Speaker 15: That will expedite.
Speaker 14: Work authorization for about four hundred and seventy two thousand
Speaker 14: Venezuelans seeking asylum in the US, including up to sixty
Speaker 14: thousand Venezuelans who have come to New York in the
Speaker 14: past year. And the President is finally taking actions that
Speaker 14: should have been taken more than a year ago.
Speaker 1: Listen, man, these humans are from Venezuela looking for a
Speaker 1: better life, deserved that because they are God's children. But
Speaker 1: if you don't understand Americans looking around and saying, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, we got.
Speaker 9: A homeless problem here in America.
Speaker 1: We got veterans who fought for this country who are homeless,
Speaker 1: and y'all doing this for them, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: doing this with Venezuelans.
Speaker 9: But what about the homeless veterans.
Speaker 1: But if you don't feel them, if you don't understand it,
Speaker 1: feeling away about that, and you don't.
Speaker 5: Understand, like, well, not even that they're cutting a lot
Speaker 5: of the programs to make sure that they can afford
Speaker 5: the housing and food for the migrants, which is hurting
Speaker 5: a lot of programs for people that live here. And
Speaker 5: the thing is if you look at the fact that
Speaker 5: they'll send twenty billion dollars and twenty million dollars to
Speaker 5: all these other countries, but they have to cut programs
Speaker 5: here that we already don't have money for. Whether it's
Speaker 5: you know, I think it was community programming, it was
Speaker 5: programming to get people off the streets, it was gun
Speaker 5: violence programs, whatever the programs are they have to cut here.
Speaker 5: But you see the government sending billions of billions and
Speaker 5: billions of billions of dollars to help these other nations. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I would feel a way as well.
Speaker 6: But hasn't that always been an issue for us though,
Speaker 6: us like taking care of outside first.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why people be screaming America first.
Speaker 11: Yea, it works, Yeah, exactly, And I'm glad you guys
Speaker 11: brought up that point and Mayor Adams saying the opposite,
Speaker 11: because they're they're saying, you know, this is all about Hey,
Speaker 11: if they want to work, let them work. But just
Speaker 11: like you guys mentioned, it's much deeper than that. It's
Speaker 11: not just about people just want to work. It's about taking,
Speaker 11: like you said, a lot of those benefits. So Mayor
Speaker 11: Adams is on board with this. He said that these
Speaker 11: folks want to contribute to the American dream and we
Speaker 11: need and they need to find a pathway to do so. So,
Speaker 11: you know, two things can be true at the same time.
Speaker 11: You know, give people that opportunity to work, and that's
Speaker 11: one of the arguments that they're saying, Charlemagne. They're saying
Speaker 11: that in order so they won't keep draining these programs,
Speaker 11: Let's give them a job.
Speaker 10: But how do we know you know that they'll get
Speaker 10: the job. Where are they going to get these jobs?
Speaker 11: Or is it just giving temporary status, you know, just
Speaker 11: for the sake of doing it. So this temporary status
Speaker 11: is supposed to last for about eighteen months allegedly. We'll
Speaker 11: see if that happens, and they can apply until March
Speaker 11: twenty twenty four. So let me toss that back to you, guys.
Speaker 11: Do you think that these folks to be going straight
Speaker 11: into employment and getting off these programs or what?
Speaker 1: Yesterday I gave I had twenty one dollars in my pocket.
Speaker 1: I gave it to a veteran. It's his sign said
Speaker 1: he was a veteran and he was homeless, and his
Speaker 1: sign literally said looking for work. That veteran wants a job,
Speaker 1: he should get it first.
Speaker 9: Well, let me ask you that. Well, you know, and
Speaker 9: I hate to say that.
Speaker 5: You know, that's why a lot of people like Trump
Speaker 5: because Trump was saying protect home first, am America first.
Speaker 5: And that's why a lot of people are like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm arrived for Trump because he was saying America first.
Speaker 5: But you look at like you said, you look at
Speaker 5: our veterans and how we treat our veterans. You look
Speaker 5: at how we treat everybody else out there, and it's
Speaker 5: like this is pretty sad. It feels like a lot
Speaker 5: of times we take care of other places faster and
Speaker 5: quicker than we take care.
Speaker 1: Of this looks hyper critical, simple as that?
Speaker 5: All right, Well that is front page news test. We're

Speaker 6: Envy?
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up jazz?
Speaker 1: Get it off here, queen.
Speaker 19: So, I was listening to you guys about the living
Speaker 19: them in our country. I agree. I don't think that
Speaker 19: thing should be able to come me. I think that
Speaker 19: they're taking away from us. I think that they left
Speaker 19: an odd value when it comes to the work. I
Speaker 19: think everybody, Hey Trump, I love Trump, I want Trump back,
Speaker 19: and I'm black. I feel like Trump was for another cut,
Speaker 19: and I think other people seeing it different because they're
Speaker 19: not looking into what Trump says. They take the money
Speaker 19: out of our pockets. We can't get jobs with good
Speaker 19: paying benefits because we had them coming here and working
Speaker 19: for let's paying no benefits and employee is like that,
Speaker 19: employers are going to take that they can work under
Speaker 19: the table. We can't do none of that. And I
Speaker 19: feel like we having more heart out here, and we're
Speaker 19: from another cut We don't have the resources, but other
Speaker 19: people get to come here and builds up. We don't
Speaker 19: get to go to other countries and do that. So
Speaker 19: I wish that we will cut.
Speaker 4: Down on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if America really was the place that it proclaims
Speaker 1: to be, and we had our stuff together as far
Speaker 1: as like you know, the homeless and our streets and
Speaker 1: you know our veterans, you know, actually having stable incomes
Speaker 1: and not being homeless and having work, then I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have no problem with them helping other people. But our
Speaker 1: backyard is filthy, right, we got to clean up ball backyard.
Speaker 19: Right.
Speaker 8: I'm like Trump is the answer. I just think that
Speaker 8: we need to just get better at what we do
Speaker 8: in the house.
Speaker 5: In the crab first, I agree, but that's what I
Speaker 5: said earlier. I said that's the reason why a lot
Speaker 5: of people like Trump because they felt like.
Speaker 9: He took care of home first.
Speaker 1: Hey, he screams America first. I don't believe that, though,
Speaker 1: I believe that he cares about Trump.

Speaker 8: The reporters are pointing out the fact that that specific
Speaker 8: individual that he was making those starts at offset the
Speaker 8: husband of Cardi b. So this is a big lesson,
Speaker 8: and stay off the internet. I mean, dumb is dumb,
Speaker 8: but if you're gonna do it, definitely stay up the internet.
Speaker 8: Because now he finds himself in a situation reportedly where
Speaker 8: he is about to be looking at one hundred and
Speaker 8: twenty days at home.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of lessons in this, and you know,
Speaker 1: the reality is he earned and every bit of this
Speaker 1: because you had the audacity to be acting like that
Speaker 1: on the FBI's Internet. You're forty five years old, you
Speaker 1: already on probation, you have a crazy criminal record already,
Speaker 1: and you're telling somebody to plan their funeral online like
Speaker 1: you begging the go to prison. And it's incredible to
Speaker 1: me that all these street dudes have let the internet
Speaker 1: make them forget street rules. Number one, you should have
Speaker 1: been let go of all the childish ways of the
Speaker 1: street first and foremost.
Speaker 9: That's number one.
Speaker 1: But number two, I remember a time when folks wouldn't
Speaker 1: talk about any dirt over the phone. Now y'all recording
Speaker 1: y'allselves in four K and posting it online.
Speaker 6: Listen.
Speaker 8: And another thing too, is is God forbid something worre
Speaker 8: to go down? Write and something happens to anybody? This
Speaker 8: is all the document like, this is all documented.
Speaker 6: This is I don't know.
Speaker 5: I never understood the whole I'm going to talk online,
Speaker 5: I'm going to talk on live.
Speaker 9: It makes no sense.
Speaker 5: You're doing the work for the police.
Speaker 1: Then you don't like snitches but your self incriminating yourself.
Speaker 6: And you're the husband of Nicki. It was one of
Speaker 6: the biggest not that's not even talk about one of
Speaker 6: the biggest celebrities in the world.
Speaker 1: You don't have respect for yourself, at least have respect
Speaker 1: for your wife and who she is an extension of
Speaker 1: her brand. At least don't make her a little crazy.
Speaker 1: I really got a.
Speaker 8: Child like, come on then grow up and so cute, Papa,
Speaker 8: very soy. I hate to see this though, but.
Speaker 1: What part of law enforcement has social media too? Don't

Speaker 5: then you post, hey I'm driving in this car, they
Speaker 5: see all of it. They know that when you post
Speaker 5: a gun, they see all of it. They just jotted
Speaker 5: down and just in the wrong field.

Speaker 1: probably just sitting there.
Speaker 6: They hate on the young boys. Oh y'all just get

Speaker 5: the gud. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our
Speaker 5: guest co host, Laura La Rosi here. Let's get in
Speaker 5: some front page news. Just a little head jump giant
Speaker 5: play the forty nine the night at eight fifteen pm.
Speaker 5: Let's coach, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1: I think Vegas said, uh, forty nine ers, they got ten.
Speaker 1: I think that's the spread. That's how you read those things.
Speaker 9: I'm a better on that game. I think.
Speaker 1: How much.
Speaker 9: I don't know, not that much.
Speaker 1: Put it up.
Speaker 10: No, you said they on a winner street. But put
Speaker 10: your money where your mouth is.
Speaker 6: I just want to hit it on record.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm gonna bet a little bit. I ain't
Speaker 5: betting a lot that's gonna change my life now. I'm
Speaker 5: just gonna bet it over to give me some drinks
Speaker 5: and some food or something. All right, but let's jump
Speaker 5: right into it. Let's talk about these House Republicans clash
Speaker 5: with Attorney General Garland. What happened?
Speaker 11: Yes, they clashed on yesterday accusing him and the Justice
Speaker 11: Department of weaponizing work in favor of President Joe Biden's
Speaker 11: son Hunter. Now, Gardland's overseen two cases at the same time,
Speaker 11: which is historic, one with Donald Trump and the other
Speaker 11: against the sitting president's son, and Republicans on the Committee,
Speaker 11: which is led by Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio, set
Speaker 11: the tone with accusations that the Justice Department is favoring
Speaker 11: the Biden family while targeting Trump. Let's take a listen
Speaker 11: to Attorney General Garland's response.
Speaker 23: Because I had promised that I would not interfere with
Speaker 23: this investigation. The way to not interfere is to not
Speaker 23: investigate an investigation.
Speaker 6: I don't understand what he does is Yeah, that last
Speaker 6: line kind of got me test.
Speaker 11: Hope anyone on to say that our job is not
Speaker 11: to take orders from the President, from Congress or anyone
Speaker 11: else about who are what to do with this investigation.
Speaker 10: I am not the President's a lawyer.
Speaker 7: I am.
Speaker 11: Also, he also wants to add that he is not
Speaker 11: the prosecutor for Congress. The Justice Department wants to work
Speaker 11: for the American people. So bottom line is he said
Speaker 11: he's not interfering, he's not investigating the investigation, which means,
Speaker 11: you know, he's not getting involved in the investigation. He
Speaker 11: kept on Weiss, who was appointed by Trump, which is
Speaker 11: the one that obviously brought the indictment against Hunter Biden's son.
Speaker 11: So basically saying, hey, you know, I'm not interfering. I'm
Speaker 11: letting it, letting it happen and play out in the
Speaker 11: courts as far as Trump is concerned and Hunter Biden.
Speaker 5: Let me ask you a question, is Hunter Biden really
Speaker 5: soon the I R s uh, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 11: Yeah, anybody, well, anybody can sue. They are risen by Gasoue.
Speaker 11: The question is it is it actually gonna work?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't you know. But to go back to
Speaker 1: the original story, I wouldn't doubt if there is a
Speaker 1: favorite towards Hunter Biden because personally, I feel like the
Speaker 1: DJ only bought charges against Hunter Biden because they bought
Speaker 1: charges against Trump, so they don't want.
Speaker 9: To look like, you know, these things are political.
Speaker 10: Right, you know, favor in a bad way. So what
Speaker 10: do you mean, Like, I.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't I wouldn't doubt if there's if there's a favorite
Speaker 1: towards Hunter just period, because like I said, I feel
Speaker 1: like they only bought charges against Hunter because they don't
Speaker 1: want to make it seem like them going after Trump.
Speaker 1: It's political. They want to look like they're you know,
Speaker 1: equal and fair all across the But I mean the
Speaker 1: reason I say I wouldn't doubt if there is favorable
Speaker 1: because you can see just the way the media covers
Speaker 1: the Bidens versus the Trumps is totally different.
Speaker 9: Like if this is one of Donald Trump's kids, Come on, if.
Speaker 6: Somebody would have created series on TikTok news every day all.
Speaker 9: The news outlets discussing well not all of them and.
Speaker 8: MSNBC, but Trump is just more like everything about that
Speaker 8: side is just a lot more entertaining.
Speaker 6: Like there's not a lot of entertainment with Biden and family.
Speaker 9: I'm just being entertaining.
Speaker 6: I mean, yes, he has a lot, but it's just different.
Speaker 1: And you don't know that they're so entertaining. It is
Speaker 1: because the media don't cover them like correct If the
Speaker 1: media gave the Bidens and the Hunters and everybody else
Speaker 1: the same type of coverage and dug into them the
Speaker 1: way they dig into the Trumps, you see how entertaining
Speaker 1: they actually are. Biden here doing cocaine, he's sleeping with hookers.
Speaker 9: He's saying a word.
Speaker 6: I was to say, I need to hit you up
Speaker 6: for the djat all.
Speaker 9: Right, now, let's talk about Amazon.
Speaker 5: We talked about workers getting jobs, but Amazon is looking
Speaker 5: to hire two hundred fifty thousand people.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is good for those who want to make
Speaker 10: a little extra Christmas cash. I wanted to make sure
Speaker 10: that you have this story.
Speaker 11: They said that they will hire two hundred and fifty
Speaker 11: thousand full time and part time workers for the holiday season.
Speaker 10: That's a sixty seven percent jump since last year.
Speaker 11: Target also announced it it will be adding one hundred
Speaker 11: thousand seasonal rolls of this holiday.
Speaker 10: Shout out to Target. That was one of my first jobs.
Speaker 11: But Amazon noted that more jobs are available because the
Speaker 11: company has opened fifty new filming centers, delivery stations, and
Speaker 11: same day delivery sites in the US this year.
Speaker 10: They said that this will contribute one point three billion.
Speaker 11: Towards hikes for warehouse and transportation employees, raising the average
Speaker 11: pay for those roles from nineteen dollars to twenty dollars
Speaker 11: and fifty cents per hour.
Speaker 1: Oh, if you're looking to make some extra money during
Speaker 1: the holiday, Amazon and Target got you there in your
Speaker 1: face you see where they at one hundred thousand jobs
Speaker 1: talking want to add to fifty Amazon wants to add
Speaker 1: go get you a little extra incomfort for the holiday
Speaker 1: Amazon job.
Speaker 6: Just to be clutch in college on the breaks because
Speaker 6: you could go work and then go back to school.
Speaker 1: How do you you do?
Speaker 9: You go working for the factory.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you go work on the like you know, packaging
Speaker 8: and stuff, and then like you could get this, you
Speaker 8: do seasonal work with them. So you go like I
Speaker 8: would go on my back to college whenever I couldn't
Speaker 8: do like internships. You go work and then you just
Speaker 8: go back to school because it's your season.
Speaker 9: It's hard to get.
Speaker 1: You just go there and fly.
Speaker 6: As long as you could pass the drug test. It
Speaker 6: used to be as long as you can pass the
Speaker 6: drug tests.
Speaker 5: You was good.
Speaker 1: You passed the drug test. Work.
Speaker 6: I don't do drugs.
Speaker 5: Job like you knew something? Drug test?
Speaker 1: Lah? Shoot you you.
Speaker 6: Could be the total.
Speaker 10: That a way they paid they paid for college tuition.
Speaker 10: Did you take advantage of that benefit?
Speaker 1: No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 8: I'm stilling that. Can I get like my too late
Speaker 8: now my emphasize reparations? Can I get like the back pay?
Speaker 1: You have a part time employee.
Speaker 23: They do that.
Speaker 11: I'm a but I know, I know it's a benefit.
Speaker 11: It's the reason why a lot of people go do it.
Speaker 11: They go work at four a m. And, you know,
Speaker 11: help unload those trucks, and it's one of the benefits
Speaker 11: they advertised as well.
Speaker 6: I was asking.
Speaker 1: Maybe missing.
Speaker 6: Because you had to you had to hit certain numbers,
Speaker 6: and I wasn't hitting them.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 6: It was tough them jobs are not as easy as
Speaker 6: you think. But I just wanted the money.
Speaker 9: Job supposed to be easy.
Speaker 6: They want her to work, trying to do all that
Speaker 6: stuff with nails.
Speaker 1: And like, I just came to work like this.
Speaker 9: You probably came to work make up for I.
Speaker 6: Needed the money.
Speaker 8: That was the one year where I couldn't leave Delaware
Speaker 8: because I felt a class. I had to do a
Speaker 8: summer class, so I couldn't do it. No internships, so
Speaker 8: I just had to figure it out.
Speaker 10: Many though Americans don't be wanting.
Speaker 6: To work, you want to work. I just wanted to
Speaker 6: be cute too, all right.
Speaker 1: Well that is for page News, uh huh, and make
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe that to Figuos podcast A great shot
Speaker 1: no chase of podcasts on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast

Speaker 5: All right, when we come back, Elaine well to Roth
Speaker 5: to be joining us. You know who.
Speaker 9: She's a journalist and an author, a television host and
Speaker 9: so much more. When we go kick it with her
Speaker 9: when we come back, I don't move.
Speaker 5: It's the Breakfast Club on b ET the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Morning.
Speaker 5: Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy. We are to
Speaker 5: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building
Speaker 5: this morning. Yes, indeed you have, Miss Elaine well Troth.
Speaker 9: Welcome.
Speaker 5: Hi guys, hik you for it this morning.
Speaker 6: I'm good.
Speaker 5: How are you good?
Speaker 7: Good?
Speaker 9: Good Black and Holly favorite.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 9: So now you're here for a conversation project.
Speaker 15: Yeah, okay, amazing stations project.
Speaker 13: Yep.
Speaker 9: Now what is the conversation project?
Speaker 20: So the Conversations Project, which is on Hulu is basically
Speaker 20: so it's inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. Soon it's like,
Speaker 20: you know, think back to the era when you know,
Speaker 20: black intellectuals, academics, entertainers would rub shoulders and break bread
Speaker 20: and and share ideas in a safe space. And we
Speaker 20: wanted to recreate that on television. And it's it's really incredible.
Speaker 20: It's it's bringing together some of the greatest minds in
Speaker 20: our culture from every corner of the world. So you
Speaker 20: have you have artists, you have entertainers, have we had
Speaker 20: a black astronaut all coming together to really exchange ideas,
Speaker 20: and you know, you don't have anything like this on television,
Speaker 20: which is kind of crazy when you really think about it,
Speaker 20: It's like, how has it taken this long for a
Speaker 20: show like this to come about?
Speaker 15: But I'm so glad that it did.
Speaker 20: And we just talk about everything under the sun that
Speaker 20: affects our community, and we talk about it through a
Speaker 20: black lens, and we debate, we laugh, we you know,
Speaker 20: we agree, we challenge each other, and it's really intergenerational.
Speaker 20: It's just a really positive, nuanced place to have conversations
Speaker 20: that matter in our culture.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's very out of it.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's very hard for us to have
Speaker 1: conversations nowadays. I feel like we're all talking at each
Speaker 1: other instead of tuning with each.
Speaker 20: Other that part, And that's why I think a show
Speaker 20: like this is so important because it's modeling how to
Speaker 20: have productive, constructive dialogue, how to listen how to not react,
Speaker 20: you know, defensively. It's really important, I think, especially in
Speaker 20: these times that are so divided, it's so divisive, to
Speaker 20: really give people an example of how you can articulate
Speaker 20: your point of view and also appreciate and listen to
Speaker 20: somebody else's point of view and maybe even evolved, you know,
Speaker 20: maybe even maybe your maybe your perspective might evolve in
Speaker 20: the process.
Speaker 15: So I think a show like this is so important.
Speaker 20: And for me, I always, whether I'm writing books or
Speaker 20: on television, I want to create what I think the
Speaker 20: world needs more of. And I think the world needs
Speaker 20: more of hard converse examples of hard conversations that are
Speaker 20: being tackled in a really constructive way.
Speaker 1: I love that because I feel like, you know, over
Speaker 1: the last several years, we've seen all of these, you know,
Speaker 1: topics that we never discussed come to the forefront, but
Speaker 1: we're still not having nuanced conversations about them. We're not
Speaker 1: healing back layers. We're just telling you your trash if
Speaker 1: you believe this, your trash if you don't think like this.
Speaker 1: But it's just like Yo Wednesday exchange of ideas. So
Speaker 1: those people that you may not like the way they
Speaker 1: think about a certain thing, they might evolve on the
Speaker 1: subject because you just have a conversation.
Speaker 15: Exactly and you might evolve.
Speaker 20: I think that's the that's the thing is to come
Speaker 20: to the table with an open mind and be willing
Speaker 20: to listen. I learned my mind was open, you know.
Speaker 20: I came with an open mind and open heart. I
Speaker 20: think everybody did. And you know what help I forgot
Speaker 20: to mention this. I can't believe I forgot to mention this.
Speaker 20: It's a dinner party.
Speaker 22: So you have like.
Speaker 20: Michelin Star, you know, a Michelin Star chef who is
Speaker 20: giving us incredible food and black own wines and we
Speaker 20: are just like so, I feel like everybody came in
Speaker 20: like maybe a little nervous, like was about to happen
Speaker 20: at the table, and they gonna there's gonna be There're
Speaker 20: gonna be some gotcha questions, and then everyone just realizes
Speaker 20: this is actually a safe space. Sip some wine, you know,
Speaker 20: you relax your nerves are you know, settle a little.
Speaker 20: And we really we came to the table, many of
Speaker 20: us strangers, and we walked away feeling like we had
Speaker 20: extended community.
Speaker 15: We like like a family, honestly, so it was.
Speaker 20: It was beautiful, and I hope, I honestly hope that
Speaker 20: it inspires people to have some of these conversations at
Speaker 20: their own dinner table with their own friends, at their work,
Speaker 20: at their church, Like whatever the community is that you
Speaker 20: are a part of, this is how you can have
Speaker 20: these conversations and also invite people over to your house. Again,
Speaker 20: like we've all been in isolation for so long and
Speaker 20: we thrive in community, you know, but it takes somebody
Speaker 20: to be intentional about curating the right group, about sending
Speaker 20: that invitation, bringing people to creating a safe space and
Speaker 20: really guiding the conversation. So I really hope that like
Speaker 20: this is like the return of the dinner party.
Speaker 5: You know, who are some of the people that are
Speaker 5: I know every episode is a different cast, So who
Speaker 5: are some of the people that are at the table?
Speaker 20: Yeah, we had a whole wide range of people, like
Speaker 20: I said, from black astronauts to entertainers to authors, athletes.
Speaker 20: So we had a couple of people we had that
Speaker 20: I really love Phoebe Robinson, She's hilarious, Shine, Jim Jones,
Speaker 20: Ali Love roy Wood, Junior, Tory Notton, Torri Notton, she
Speaker 20: was amazing. Yes, Lena Bloom and so the hosts were
Speaker 20: there's three hosts. One is the chef, David Lawrence. He
Speaker 20: has a restaurant in the Bay Area, but he's originally
Speaker 20: from the UK and he's he's a little bit older.
Speaker 15: I call him uncle.
Speaker 20: And then we have Mark Spears, who is at ESPN
Speaker 20: and N. He's a Hall of Fame sports writer. And
Speaker 20: they conceived of this show, they pitched it, they got
Speaker 20: it sold, which is a miracle to me in this landscape,
Speaker 20: especially for a black show, bringing together black folks to
Speaker 20: have black conversations that are you know, smart, intellectual and
Speaker 20: not track like We're not sitting there trying to trash
Speaker 20: each other, which is usually what you see get sold.
Speaker 15: And then they brought me on.
Speaker 20: They wanted to have a woman's perspective at the table,
Speaker 20: someone who could help bridge the generations. And I immediately,
Speaker 20: I mean, once I understood the concept of the show,
Speaker 20: the spirit of the show, the intention of the show
Speaker 20: is like, sign me up.
Speaker 15: This is a dinner party. I feel like anybody would
Speaker 15: want to be invited to. So it was an honor
Speaker 15: to be a.
Speaker 23: Part of it.
Speaker 1: How did you pick the people you wanted to have
Speaker 1: a conversation because you know, when you talk about curating
Speaker 1: the lack people, even when you say let's bring back
Speaker 1: the dinner party, I'm just not letting nobody in my house.
Speaker 1: Your energy gotta be.
Speaker 15: Right, Your energy got to be right. That's the part
Speaker 15: I think. I think we all just kind of agreed.
Speaker 20: We all brought our list, and we all kind of thought,
Speaker 20: we want to make sure every single table is really intergenerational.
Speaker 15: So that was a really important piece.
Speaker 20: We wanted to make sure that it was co ed,
Speaker 20: so there was a nice mix of you know, men
Speaker 20: and women, and that everyone was represented, so trans folks.
Speaker 15: Queer folks.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 20: I think the beauty of this show is that it
Speaker 20: showcases the spectrum of blackness, right Like, we talk about
Speaker 20: what it means to be black and queer black and
Speaker 20: trans to what it's like to we talk about the
Speaker 20: biracial experience and everything in between. We got you know,
Speaker 20: old elders in the room, we got the young folks
Speaker 20: in the room, we got the millennials, and what you
Speaker 20: see is that which it just reminds you that blackness
Speaker 20: is not a monolith. We come from all different places,
Speaker 20: all over the world, with different perspectives. And it really
Speaker 20: it shapes our worldview. But when we break bread with
Speaker 20: each other, when we break down these conversations together, we
Speaker 20: realize how much more we have in common than what
Speaker 20: divides us.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was one conversation that stood out the most
Speaker 9: to you that you remember.
Speaker 5: That's something that she was like, Wow, this is going
Speaker 5: to spark a lot of conversation and interest when this
Speaker 5: episode will leads so when people see this episode.
Speaker 20: Yeah, So two come to mind. One is a conversation
Speaker 20: with Brett Gray, who's this gen Z actor, and he
Speaker 20: brought such an incredible energy to the table, and he
Speaker 20: got into a kind of a contentious conversation with the
Speaker 20: older gentleman at the table who we were calling them
Speaker 20: ogs so David Lawrence, Mark Spears. They were talking about
Speaker 20: sort of how this older generation we're talking about black
Speaker 20: manhood and toxic masculinity, and how the older generation of
Speaker 20: black men in us, with the intention of trying to
Speaker 20: protect and guide the next generation of black men, sometimes
Speaker 20: their way can crush the spirit of this younger generation.
Speaker 20: And aren't as oppressed. That aren't as you know, they aren't,
Speaker 20: they aren't facing They're living in a completely different world.
Speaker 5: All we got more with Elaine World to Wroth when
Speaker 5: we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good
Speaker 5: morning warning, everybody's dj V Charlamage to God. We are
Speaker 5: the breakfast Club. We still be able Miss Elaine World
Speaker 5: to Wroth Charlamagne.
Speaker 1: And you know what it was too, It's like, it's
Speaker 1: not even about what we what we uh, it's about
Speaker 1: what we learned, but what we got to unlearned as
Speaker 1: we get older, because you know, I would be the
Speaker 1: first to admit we were a whole generation that was
Speaker 1: raised wrong. I'm we're raided wrong in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like, yeah, it's about what you
Speaker 1: have to unlearn absolutely too.
Speaker 20: Yeah, and you know, I'm a new mom. I just
Speaker 20: had a baby seventeen months a congratulations to thank you.
Speaker 15: So I felt like I was there.
Speaker 20: Listening more than I talked on topics around parenthood. You know,
Speaker 20: rox Sane Chante came on, and you know, she was
Speaker 20: one of the sort of our elders and we respect her.
Speaker 15: And she was talking about, you.
Speaker 20: Know, parenting as a black mom, especially a single black mom,
Speaker 20: how parenting a young black man is different from parenting
Speaker 20: a young woman.
Speaker 1: You had your child at home. Right, I think I
Speaker 1: read that I did.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I had a home I had a home birth
Speaker 15: with a midwife.
Speaker 1: Were you Is it because of all the things that
Speaker 1: are going on in the hospitals and the way the
Speaker 1: Black maternal death rate is you just didn't trust it.
Speaker 9: It's also during the pandemic COVID right seventeen months ago?
Speaker 1: Right? No, No, wasn't it.
Speaker 15: I mean, are we still dependent?
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 20: I don't know what stage we are, but I mean, well, listen,
Speaker 20: I got married at home. Am I stoop during the pandemic?
Speaker 20: And I had my baby at home. I don't know
Speaker 20: what stage of the pandemic it was, but yes, it
Speaker 20: was because you know, I went I went into pregnancy
Speaker 20: thinking that I was going to have a hospital birth,
Speaker 20: just like you know my mother did and my grandmother did.
Speaker 20: That's the norm in our country. But and I sort
Speaker 20: of knew about the maternal mortality crisis and the Black
Speaker 20: maternal mortality crisis, like in a peripheral sense, like it's
Speaker 20: something that happens out there in the world, but maybe
Speaker 20: not as much here. I think I bought into this
Speaker 20: myth that it also, you know, tends to happen only
Speaker 20: in impoverished communities, and so here I am as this,
Speaker 20: you know, as black women go in this country.
Speaker 15: I am I have all the privileges you could have.
Speaker 15: So I thought I wouldn't have.
Speaker 20: A problem having my baby in the hospital, finding a
Speaker 20: great doctor, finding great care, and I was so shocked
Speaker 20: to learn how difficult it is to find a healthcare
Speaker 20: provider in our current medical system that makes you feel safe,
Speaker 20: that makes you feel listened to, that makes you feel
Speaker 20: like you know, they there's a compassionate person that's going
Speaker 20: to make sure that you have the birth that you want.
Speaker 20: So I went through from doctor to doctor to doctor,
Speaker 20: and this is me. I am, like, you know, I'm
Speaker 20: I'm pretty well connected. I got resources, I could go
Speaker 20: to the best of the best, and I had bad
Speaker 20: experience after bad experience after bad experience. It was so
Speaker 20: incredibly humbling, and it was the first time where I
Speaker 20: had to really confront the fear that I could very
Speaker 20: well become another statistic And what I learned as I
Speaker 20: went through this journey is that this issue is so complex.
Speaker 20: It is this crisis, this maternal mortality crisis that you
Speaker 20: know overly impacts black women, is very real. Unfortunately, the
Speaker 20: rates of deaths are actually surging. It's really scary. And
Speaker 20: I think when you talk about it with folks, I
Speaker 20: think people still have there's this concept, this misconception that
Speaker 20: this isn't happening in this country, that this isn't happening
Speaker 20: to people who look like me or come from where
Speaker 20: I come from. You know, it's not happening to well
Speaker 20: educated black women of means.
Speaker 15: It absolutely is.
Speaker 20: And and as I've gotten deeper into this work and
Speaker 20: into the stats, I realized that black, wealthy women are
Speaker 20: dying at higher rates than poor white women in this
Speaker 20: country during and after childbirth. So when you understand, like truly,
Speaker 20: where where, what the picture is, and how how prevalent
Speaker 20: this issue is in our country and the richest country
Speaker 20: in the world, you start to think about what informs
Speaker 20: your your point of view on what a safe where
Speaker 20: a safe birth happens, and and and who's delivering your
Speaker 20: baby and why these messages are what you believe? You know,
Speaker 20: And so I thought, you know, I always thought, like, oh,
Speaker 20: to be safe, I should have you know, I've heard
Speaker 20: of home.
Speaker 15: Births, I've heard of midwives.
Speaker 20: Sounds beautiful, God bless, but to be safe air quotes
Speaker 20: I'm going to have my baby in a hospital. But
Speaker 20: is it truly safer to have your baby in a
Speaker 20: hospital when you're a black woman in America? You have
Speaker 20: to really you have to unpack that explaining the process.
Speaker 9: Because we've had m Thomas time several times.
Speaker 1: Thomas is your wife pregnant?
Speaker 9: We had our last two. Latham was our dula for
Speaker 9: our last two.
Speaker 20: She what Latham is incredible. Latham is like also another
Speaker 20: unsung hero.
Speaker 9: Oh man, she's several times.
Speaker 5: So explain the process.
Speaker 20: I'm so glad you asked this because we need to
Speaker 20: reframe pain for birthing people. I too, was so incredibly
Speaker 20: scared of not having access to an epidural. Like even
Speaker 20: when I found my midwife, I fell in love with her.
Speaker 20: I was like, I would love for you to birth
Speaker 20: my baby, but can we just have an epidural just
Speaker 20: in case?
Speaker 15: Could it just be there?
Speaker 20: And She's like, kind of like the whole thing, you
Speaker 20: can't have an epidural for a home birth.
Speaker 15: And that was the thing that made it.
Speaker 20: It was like the hardest part for me to overcome
Speaker 20: is like what if I can't handle the pain.
Speaker 5: Correct And.
Speaker 20: I actually did not decide to have a home birth
Speaker 20: until thirty six, thirty six or thirty seven weeks, it
Speaker 20: was like go time, and I still was like, you know,
Speaker 20: dating doctors and tiptoeing like that line. And ultimately I
Speaker 20: made the call because I was able to shift my
Speaker 20: mindset around pain, and I did that with the support
Speaker 20: and the guidance of my midwife. She talks about pain,
Speaker 20: the pain of childbirth as purposeful as directional, and she
Speaker 20: doesn't even use the word pain.
Speaker 15: She used the word She uses the word waves.
Speaker 20: She uses the word words like intensity, And she made
Speaker 20: it clear to me that your body has been preparing
Speaker 20: for this since the day you started your period. Those
Speaker 20: cramps that you feel, that discomfort that you feel is
Speaker 20: the exact pain that you will feel as labor starts.
Speaker 20: So it's not an unfamiliar pain like I thought I
Speaker 20: was going to be, like, like it's gonna feel like.
Speaker 6: Knives in my.
Speaker 24: Right to make it seem like it is absolutely horror,
Speaker 24: horrifying like the movies and everything we've ever seen about
Speaker 24: Earth is all inspiring fear.
Speaker 20: None of it is inspiring self trust. And what a
Speaker 20: midwife does, and what my midwife did is completely she
Speaker 20: gave my power back to me. I feel like we
Speaker 20: have been trained as a culture, conditioned as a culture
Speaker 20: to give our power away as women, as black women,
Speaker 20: as birthing people. We give our power away to these
Speaker 20: authorities in white lab coats that often undermine our intelligence,
Speaker 20: that often gaslight us, that take advantage of the power
Speaker 20: that we give away.
Speaker 15: We're not taught about our bodies. We're not taught about
Speaker 15: what we were built to do.
Speaker 20: We're not taught about how babies have been getting here
Speaker 20: since the beginning of time, which was not in a hospital, right.
Speaker 20: We're not taught about how the obi obstronetics came about
Speaker 20: and that it was set up to as a business
Speaker 20: that prioritizes profit over patients.
Speaker 15: We're not taught this.
Speaker 20: Once you learn just how systemic and complex this issue is,
Speaker 20: we start to realize that, like you need to, there's
Speaker 20: a lot of unlearning that we have to do.
Speaker 9: We got both with Elaine Well to Wroth.
Speaker 5: When we come back, don't move.
Speaker 9: It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5: Good morning warning, everybody's dj n V Charlemagne the God
Speaker 5: we are to Breakfast Club. We still here with miss
Speaker 5: Elaine well to Wroth. So when you said data doctors,
Speaker 5: don't most people use their gynocologists to deliver their baby,
Speaker 5: so with somebody that they see that knows them, that
Speaker 5: they trust or is that not true?
Speaker 20: No, absolutely, that's the ideal scenario, right. But you have
Speaker 20: to understand we were, first of all, in a pandemic.
Speaker 15: I had just moved to a new state. In a pandemic.
Speaker 20: I didn't have a general doctor, you know, I didn't
Speaker 20: have a regular physician, let alone in obgyn.
Speaker 15: I hadn't gone to the doctor since the beginning of
Speaker 15: the pandemic.
Speaker 20: I'm generally healthy, and so I wasn't thinking about seeking
Speaker 20: out a doctor or an obgyn until I got pregnant.
Speaker 20: So once I got pregnant, I thought, Okay, how hard
Speaker 20: is it to find a good doctor?
Speaker 15: Can't be hard. I live in the mecca of you
Speaker 15: know I live. I live in LA I did all
Speaker 15: the things you're supposed to do.
Speaker 20: I got referrals, I checked you know, I checked everyone
Speaker 20: at all these doctors out on Google. I went in
Speaker 20: prepared with questions, and what I found is that I
Speaker 20: was met with resistance. I would say, at best, it's
Speaker 20: like the most polite way I was. I was met
Speaker 20: with resistance when I came in with questions, when I
Speaker 20: came in sort of informed, and when I had the
Speaker 20: audacity to, you know, ask what I thought were basic
Speaker 20: questions about how this would go to and also just
Speaker 20: try to when I tried to just form some sort
Speaker 20: of you know, connection to this person, it was like
Speaker 20: I was rushed the in and out girl.
Speaker 15: I was literally told like a.
Speaker 5: Fast food service, I got fast food.
Speaker 20: I'm I don't think people understand that when you when
Speaker 20: you are pregnant, you are in your most vulnerable state, right.
Speaker 20: I didn't even know to expect that, And I was
Speaker 20: very emotional, and I came in and I was rushed people.
Speaker 20: These doctors would not look at me in my face.
Speaker 20: They just kind of toss medication my way without even
Speaker 20: asking me. I mean, it was just it was so inhumane.
Speaker 20: I had vials of blood, six vials of my blood
Speaker 20: taken on accident without apology. They tried to excuse it
Speaker 20: and act like it didn't happen.
Speaker 15: Like so many things happen. It was like, I now
Speaker 15: see how this happens.
Speaker 5: I just don't like how they don't allow you to film. Right,
Speaker 5: you pay for service. You're paying for that. It's not free, right,
Speaker 5: you're paying for that. But they won't allow you to
Speaker 5: film your birth in most hospitals, and they say it
Speaker 5: is to protect.
Speaker 9: Them, so if they do something wrong, you can't protect yourself.
Speaker 20: I just never understood that there's so much you can't
Speaker 20: do that I didn't know in most cases. In many cases,
Speaker 20: I should say, you can't eat in the hospital once
Speaker 20: you're in labor. You have to have an IV in
Speaker 20: your system, which means you can't move around freely. Yes, sure,
Speaker 20: you most of the time have to deliver on your
Speaker 20: back or in the bed, which let's just think about
Speaker 20: this for one moment. Is this completely changed my outlook
Speaker 20: on birth. When one of my girlfriends was like, she
Speaker 20: had a home birth, and she said, think about how
Speaker 20: gravity works. Right, if you had to push a bowling
Speaker 20: ball outside out of your body.
Speaker 9: You'd stand up a squat.
Speaker 18: Right.
Speaker 20: Does it make sense to lay on your back to
Speaker 20: push a bowling ball out of your body or does
Speaker 20: it make sense to be upright to use gravity? When
Speaker 20: somebody said that, I was like, Yo, that is the
Speaker 20: most basic thing, And how come we why have we
Speaker 20: been trained to think that this is the only way
Speaker 20: birth should happen on your back with a doctor seated
Speaker 20: at the that's for the doctor's convenience. And I'm not
Speaker 20: saying this in all cases. For some cases you must
Speaker 20: be on your back, it's the safest thing. In some
Speaker 20: cases you need medical interventions. In some cases you need
Speaker 20: a see section. Like I am not anti doctor and
Speaker 20: I'm not anti hospital, but what I am is pro
Speaker 20: woman and pro baby, and I think that our needs
Speaker 20: and our desires and our.
Speaker 15: Wishes should be honored, you know.
Speaker 20: And I've had a doctor literally in the middle of
Speaker 20: of asking questions, stand up and walk out of the
Speaker 20: room and say, you have exceeded your two to three
Speaker 20: question Max, And I've given you some grace.
Speaker 5: But I need to go two to three question Max.
Speaker 15: I'm like, I am in my.
Speaker 20: Most vulnerable state and I am coming to you with
Speaker 20: legitimate questions with a polite attitude. I'm friendly, and you
Speaker 20: are just shutting me down as walking out on me.
Speaker 20: And it just made me feel so small and even
Speaker 20: as some And I think it's important for someone like
Speaker 20: me to talk openly about this because I think that
Speaker 20: people would assume that someone this couldn't happen to someone
Speaker 20: like me, like no way, you know, I'm outspoken, I'm
Speaker 20: a journalist, I'm informed, I'm confident, But the experiences that
Speaker 20: I had with these doctors, you guys broke me down. Wow,
Speaker 20: it made me question myself. It silenced it silenced me,
Speaker 20: It made me. I cried after every appointment. I started
Speaker 20: thinking something's maybe wrong with me, Like do I need
Speaker 20: to smile more? What can I do to make myself
Speaker 20: seem worthy of good care in the presence of these doctors.
Speaker 20: That is not the way it should be. I'm paying
Speaker 20: for the service I'm paying into. So the whole medical
Speaker 20: industrial complex is poisoned, and there's so much change that
Speaker 20: needs to happen. There's so much reform that we need
Speaker 20: on every level within the hospital system, with the insurance system,
Speaker 20: you know, at the legislative level, we need to figure
Speaker 20: out how to create pipelines for more midwives, more doulas.
Speaker 20: We have to figure out how to create more access
Speaker 20: so that underserved communities can have access to midwives and
Speaker 20: doulas if that's what they need. And by the way,
Speaker 20: the other thing that I learned which made me feel
Speaker 20: energized around this topic because this topic is depressing to
Speaker 20: a lot of people, and they kind of like lean back,
Speaker 20: They're like, ooh, I don't really want to talk about that.
Speaker 20: That's I'm just going to hope for the best with
Speaker 20: my with my birth. But I think we have to
Speaker 20: lean in to this conversation. What helped me lean in
Speaker 20: was understanding that this is solvable, Like, there are solutions,
Speaker 20: and there's a stat that was really staggering to me
Speaker 20: that basically, if you have a midwife or a doula,
Speaker 20: seventy percent of these deaths could be prevented. Seventy percent
Speaker 20: of these maternal health black maternal health that could be
Speaker 20: prevented with the intervention of a midwife and a doula.
Speaker 15: That gives me hope.
Speaker 20: That's like, Okay, well, if that's the way to solve this,
Speaker 20: let's figure out how we can create a pipeline of
Speaker 20: more midwives, more doulas. Let's figure out how we can
Speaker 20: create a system that's that's more of a hybrid model
Speaker 20: where doctors, doulas and midwives can all coexist peacefully, can
Speaker 20: work well together. And so that's as you can see,
Speaker 20: I'm just very fired up about this particular issue because
Speaker 20: I just think there's nothing more important than keeping mothers
Speaker 20: alive to raise these children that.
Speaker 15: We are bringing into the world.
Speaker 20: Especially at a time like this where more women are
Speaker 20: being forced into motherhood before they're ready. If our government
Speaker 20: has the audacity to force women into parenthood before they
Speaker 20: are we need to create systems that will keep them
Speaker 20: alive to raise those children.
Speaker 15: It is as simple as that.
Speaker 20: So I hope next season, I know, bringing it back
Speaker 20: to the show, I hope next season this is something
Speaker 20: we can talk about in unpacking.
Speaker 9: Definitely a conversation.
Speaker 25: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Can I just tell you this is the first time
Speaker 15: I had this conversation with two men.
Speaker 1: Listen, I swear by dudes, you knows right now just
Speaker 1: because of the experiences.
Speaker 5: That me and my wife have had, the best thing
Speaker 5: about these conversations. You know, Charlemagne has for daughters with
Speaker 5: his wife. I have six kids with mom. But more
Speaker 5: men want to know what's going on before. It's one
Speaker 5: of those things you go to the hospital tell us
Speaker 5: when we need to be there, but we want to
Speaker 5: be a part of it. We want to know what's
Speaker 5: what affects you, what makes you cry, what hurts, what
Speaker 5: your concerns are. Because now situation, we can do it together.
Speaker 5: It's not just you on your own and same thing
Speaker 5: with us, with the stuff that we go through. It's
Speaker 5: not just us on our own and well, thank you
Speaker 5: so much for joining us and sharing your story.
Speaker 1: Watch the Conversation project on Hulu right now.
Speaker 9: Elaine will to worth.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
Speaker 15: Thank you guys.

Speaker 5: are to Breakfast Club. Laura l Rossa is here, yo
Speaker 5: yo yo, yeah, let's get to the rules.

Speaker 6: will recognize the voice in the.
Speaker 5: Name on the Bakfast Club.
Speaker 9: Lauren came in hot.
Speaker 6: So remy My and pet Poofs have been trending for
Speaker 6: some weeks now, actually for the last few months.
Speaker 23: So.
Speaker 8: There have been rumors circulating that remy Ma cheated allegedly
Speaker 8: on pet poos with another battle rapper named Easy to
Speaker 8: Black Captain. So there have been like photos released to them,
Speaker 8: like out sitting down. They're not like intimate or anything
Speaker 8: like that, and the photos are the videos. It was
Speaker 8: also rumored that pet Poofs actually fought the battle rapper
Speaker 8: back in June because he just got a little bit
Speaker 8: too comfortable with me.
Speaker 9: Where did this stuff come from? What did these rumors
Speaker 9: like this come from I'm about.
Speaker 6: To break it all down. So I think those photos,
Speaker 6: those videos, all that stuff.
Speaker 8: But then there is a video that's going to around
Speaker 8: right now of Easy to Block Captain and Geechee Gotti,
Speaker 8: who are two battle rappers getting into it on stage,
Speaker 8: and they bring up the rumors.
Speaker 6: So let's listen to that.
Speaker 10: And I had six Chrome events.
Speaker 1: Pat Boost was at all of them. How come he
Speaker 1: ain't at this one? Why we ain't in.
Speaker 3: New York because the last time there your husband punched
Speaker 3: on him, so you actually brung it to.
Speaker 1: Where he more comfortable.
Speaker 3: As so, if he did decide to show up, this
Speaker 3: weird oka had an ups on him.
Speaker 1: I hope she wouldn't do that because I love her
Speaker 1: too much, but it just look away.
Speaker 5: You didn't hear where.
Speaker 1: This is more comfortable.
Speaker 10: So if he do show up, he could have an
Speaker 10: upson him.
Speaker 9: Now you foul for real?
Speaker 3: I hope that awkwardness in your home, your child don't
Speaker 3: feel How can you protect the that sod he couldn't
Speaker 3: protect you.
Speaker 1: It's wow, for real?
Speaker 9: This is a tump.
Speaker 3: You know he ain't got the heart food because you
Speaker 3: ain't got hands. Ain't even a smart move. But if
Speaker 3: I was him, I would have been like Verbon hitman,
Speaker 3: and you would have been the one I talked to like,
Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck. If you just tell him
Speaker 3: stops you in the business. If it's found out too,
Speaker 3: is the help that could really ruin your image. We're
Speaker 3: talking so Rock and Mussem, Pap and Ram that's us,
Speaker 3: y'all the post it's how civil for black love?
Speaker 9: What the hell is happening here?
Speaker 8: So basically, I mean, you're in the battle rap arena.
Speaker 8: They used what's going on in the real world. So
Speaker 8: these reports have been circulating because there was a photo
Speaker 8: release that I'm sitting down at a restaurant Remy and
Speaker 8: the easy to block Captain guy, and then never poured up.
Speaker 6: The whole fight thing happened.
Speaker 8: Now people have been running with this cause y'all know
Speaker 8: Remy my Pappoo's their relationship. We don't play about them.
Speaker 8: So people have been really running with this. It's literally
Speaker 8: been trending all week long like crazy. Remy finally addressed.
Speaker 6: It, are you feeling I'm good?
Speaker 7: I feel good, and I'm like, hold no, hold on,
Speaker 7: you don't want me to go. Little's back then, so
Speaker 7: he's up there talking to smack. Then I started out
Speaker 7: a batter rap years.
Speaker 1: I don't call Kiji on what the pap.
Speaker 7: Tom might not have got his back in different though,
Speaker 7: literally like I was shooting.
Speaker 3: Actually, now we got to address the elephant in the room,
Speaker 3: like get you and crazy you know the whole Can
Speaker 3: we even talk about the whole?
Speaker 1: Easy?
Speaker 3: The fat poots now that heat on talk as much
Speaker 3: as they talked on the stage.
Speaker 1: The blogs, that's too much the blog that's seeing that.
Speaker 1: But he was I don't know if you how comfortable
Speaker 1: or uncomfortable you were with him standing there just saying
Speaker 1: all of this to you listen? Is that Alroight?
Speaker 9: And I love how Remy handled that.
Speaker 1: And I tell you why because Remy understands nobody cares
Speaker 1: about the truth when the lives one entertain it. So
Speaker 1: at this point, it doesn't matter what the actual truth is.
Speaker 1: If the Internet says it, that's what the Internet is
Speaker 1: gonna believe. So, you know, Remy, even if she says,
Speaker 1: you know, not sure, it's not true, they don't want
Speaker 1: to hear that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also shouted, I think it's what it's fifteen
Speaker 5: seconds of famous that the guy that did that that
Speaker 5: the interview, he was the one that reported a lot
Speaker 5: of that stuff right when he had a lot of
Speaker 5: that footage.
Speaker 9: I assolute to him, I don't know. I've seen it
Speaker 9: because I was watching it.
Speaker 5: But I will say this, I just seen him, Like
Speaker 5: I said, we don't like, we don't know what's going
Speaker 5: on in their relationship. Like you said, who cares a
Speaker 5: lot of people don't care about the truth and the
Speaker 5: lives more attaining. But I just seen them what a
Speaker 5: week ago, two weeks ago at the White House together.
Speaker 8: I don't believe this stuff. I don't believe it. I
Speaker 8: don't want to. I don't even want to discuss it.
Speaker 8: But Twitter is going up.
Speaker 9: You definitely want to discuss it. You've got it on
Speaker 9: your laptop.
Speaker 19: No, I'm not.
Speaker 8: No, Actually, I'm prepared for my next story. The only
Speaker 8: reason why we have to talk about it is because
Speaker 8: the world is talking about.
Speaker 1: This is our job.
Speaker 9: The world they talking about it YouTube.
Speaker 6: It's you're not on Twitter, that's true. So you don't
Speaker 6: know that's factual because they are trending on black Twitter
Speaker 6: and on Twitter worldwide.
Speaker 5: But I will I will say I do I do
Speaker 5: love you know, Ram is like a sister up here,
Speaker 5: and I do love paps, So whatever's going on, I
Speaker 5: hope everything is okay.
Speaker 9: That's that's what I heard.
Speaker 8: Because we love black Love and I like that herd
Speaker 8: like the whole battle. I've seen everything that Remy is doing.
Speaker 8: Right now, people are.
Speaker 6: Saying that this is just for Cloud. I also don't
Speaker 6: think they need to do this for Cloud.
Speaker 8: But I like the fact that now people are having

Speaker 1: that's her. But she understands battle rap and battle rap
Speaker 1: say anything, no matter. Old Remy would have been slapping

Speaker 6: we're gonna We're gonna move on. We're gonna move on.
Speaker 8: So Tory Lanes, you guys know, Tory Lane's sentenced to
Speaker 8: ten years. So he has now been moved to the
Speaker 8: prison where he will serve out his sentence for the
Speaker 8: next ten years. It's North Current State Prison in Delano, California.
Speaker 8: They house about like four thousand inmates, and reports are
Speaker 8: sating right now that this is not gonna be no
Speaker 8: walking the park. I mean, I didn't think it was
Speaker 8: gonna be, but exactly. But basically they're saying this because
Speaker 8: there have been a few recent killings there. So there
Speaker 8: was a convicted serial killer who recently uh or allegedly
Speaker 8: killed his cellmate not too long ago. There was also
Speaker 8: another killing on July fourth, where a guy was found
Speaker 8: dead in his cell.
Speaker 9: They wouldn't have Toy in general population.
Speaker 5: I might want to be in general population because he
Speaker 5: was only out an hour a week or something like that.
Speaker 6: So I have no clue. I have no clue whatsoever.
Speaker 9: I just want to know how Torri got the Brazilian
Speaker 9: wet and wavy human.
Speaker 1: Hand let me wavy, Okay, you got already.
Speaker 6: Listen. His hair is so full right now, man, this
Speaker 6: is the fullest I've ever seen his hairline.
Speaker 1: Like when you get the hair transplant surgery, can you
Speaker 1: choose the greater hair you want? Because I know Brazilian
Speaker 1: wet and wavy when I see it, all right, you
Speaker 1: only got an entry to it. But come on, this
Speaker 1: is I'm on.
Speaker 5: All right, well that is your room and report you
Speaker 5: guys are crazy. Charlamagne leaving that donkey too.
Speaker 1: After the hour. I need Kenneth Petty to come to
Speaker 1: the front of the congregation or this is a teachable
Speaker 1: moment for all street niggas out there.
Speaker 5: Let's discuss all right, for get Twitter. Next, it's the
Speaker 5: breakfast club. Coome morning, the breakfast club. Your mornings will
Speaker 5: never be the same.
Speaker 1: I was born in Donkey.
Speaker 9: It's the donkey of the day.
Speaker 1: Question devil breakfast club? Yeah, donk here today for Thursday,
Speaker 1: September twenty first goes to Kenneff Petty. Kenneth Petty is
Speaker 1: the husband of the icon known as Nicki Minaj. But
Speaker 1: this is not about Nikki, y'all.
Speaker 5: This is us.
Speaker 1: This is about us, okay, as black men, and it's
Speaker 1: about us not wanting to let the child just ways
Speaker 1: of the screechs go, y'all?
Speaker 9: Do know right?
Speaker 1: Being a street nigga is not an actual occupation. There's
Speaker 1: not one single benefit you received by being a street nigga. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's no four one k. You don't get no health insurance.
Speaker 1: I have never in my life seen anyone be able
Speaker 1: to buy a house or any form of property because
Speaker 1: of street credit. But for some reason, we just continue
Speaker 1: to see so many people, so many men, who have
Speaker 1: the opportunity and the access to do other things, crash
Speaker 1: out because they still want to be in the street. Now,
Speaker 1: if you haven't heard, if you wasn't listening to the
Speaker 1: Rumor Report all week and paying attention to the blogs
Speaker 1: in the news, and you probably missed Kenneth Petty incriminating
Speaker 1: himself by making threatening remarks to a specific individual, that
Speaker 1: individual being the for knowing his offset also known his
Speaker 1: husband a Cardi B. Now we're gonna play this iigga
Speaker 1: ass video clip that went viral this week. In the video,
Speaker 1: you see Kenneth Petty and his gang outside of a
Speaker 1: New York hotel allegedly where all Set was residing. But
Speaker 1: I don't see how Allset was in this hotel when
Speaker 1: millions of people were watching him live streaming with Kai Sanat.
Speaker 1: That's like, pronounce his name Ky Sinat right, sounds yeah,
Speaker 1: Sluta Kay Sanat like that young man. But all Set
Speaker 1: and Kai had a sleepover in Atlanta. They were live
Speaker 1: streaming for twenty four hours straight. They was having a
Speaker 1: grand old time smoking weed. I saw all set making
Speaker 1: grilled cheese sandwiches. I think he was making grill cheese.
Speaker 1: They was dancing, listening to music. They was doing what
Speaker 1: we all should be doing, and that's experiencing joy, having
Speaker 1: a good time, being happy. Meanwhile, Kennoth Petty and his
Speaker 1: crew were doing the total opposite of that. I refuse
Speaker 1: to believe that standing outside of a hotel in the
Speaker 1: middle of New York City, mean mugging a camera sending
Speaker 1: death threats makes you guys happy. In fact, I actually
Speaker 1: think you have to be pretty miserable to even project
Speaker 1: that kind of behavior.
Speaker 9: But let's listen to the video.
Speaker 1: Big Clease sturdy Nigga was spopping money.
Speaker 10: You don't know that said, you don't know big.
Speaker 17: Zoom, vacation, planning your funeral, let's flight.
Speaker 5: What's up?
Speaker 10: They wanted to come at me after the amazement.
Speaker 1: I ain't even We ain't even do nothing to nobody. Man, Yo,
Speaker 1: Well yeah, guess what right today?
Speaker 6: Well it's not fair, we know niggah Ja.
Speaker 1: I was born in nineteen hundred and seventy eight. I
Speaker 1: remember a time when if you were doing dirt. It
Speaker 1: was a cardinal sitting to speak on the phone about
Speaker 1: said dirt. That was a complete and other. No, No, Kenneth,
Speaker 1: I know you noticed because we're the same age, forty five,
Speaker 1: forty five, Magnum Colt Trump whatever, forty five, So I
Speaker 1: know you know better. Maybe you don't because nowadays these
Speaker 1: individuals have let the Internet make them forget street rules.
Speaker 1: Because if you were still moving by the rules of
Speaker 1: the street, there will be no way in hell that
Speaker 1: you would be on the FBI's Internet recording yourself in
Speaker 1: four K threatening to kill someone. You told that man
Speaker 1: to plan his funeral on the FBI's in andet and
Speaker 1: you thought there wouldn't be any consequences and repercussions. Do
Speaker 1: you know how many people probably sent that video to
Speaker 1: law enforcement?
Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 1: Because your high profile?
Speaker 9: You're Nicki Minaja's husband.
Speaker 1: And that's one thing I want to say, Even if
Speaker 1: you don't respect yourself, respect your queen, respect who she is.
Speaker 1: You may not care about how this video impacts you,
Speaker 1: but you should care about how it impacts her.
Speaker 9: But maybe none of y'all care professionally all personally.
Speaker 1: I just know as a husband and father, our job
Speaker 1: as protect and provide we can't do either one of
Speaker 1: those things if we tricking ourselves off the street, because
Speaker 1: that's what this is. When you got on video and
Speaker 1: you incriminate yourself in this way, you're tricking yourself off
Speaker 1: the street.
Speaker 9: I don't want to hear none of.
Speaker 1: Y'all street dudes talk about how much y'all hate snitching,
Speaker 1: because as soon as you are one of your partners
Speaker 1: pulls out these smartphones and decides to go live and
Speaker 1: record yourself saying these type of things and doing dirt,
Speaker 1: you have become an informant and you're telling on yourself.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. Because Kenneth Petty has been
Speaker 1: sentenced to one hundred and twenty days of home detas
Speaker 1: after violating the terms of his probation because of that video.
Speaker 1: I got that right, right, one up to one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty two hundred and twenty days. Okay, Well, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, Kenneth Petty, You've earned every bit of this
Speaker 1: simply because you cannot let the child just destructive ways
Speaker 1: of the street go.
Speaker 5: First.
Speaker 1: Corinthians thirteen eleven says, when I was a child, I
Speaker 1: spoke as a child, I understood as a child. I
Speaker 1: thought of the child, but when I became a man,
Speaker 1: I put away childish things. My brothers. I cannot believe
Speaker 1: I'm saying this at forty five years old, but there's
Speaker 1: so many of us who have not left the child.
Speaker 1: Just waves of the streets alone, and I would love
Speaker 1: to know what do.
Speaker 9: Y'all know that I don't?
Speaker 1: Okay, the streets have never done anything but let people
Speaker 1: to two places, jail or the mortuary. And my father
Speaker 1: always told me that if you don't change your lifestyle,
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up in jail, dead, or broke, sitting
Speaker 1: under the tree. Let's update my father's words in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. If you don't change your lifestyle, you're gonna
Speaker 1: end up in jail, dead, or broke. On somebody's social
Speaker 1: media page recording yourself committing crimes, and that recording of
Speaker 1: you committing crimes will lead you to be in somebody's prison. Kenneth,
Speaker 1: he was already on probation. What part of law enforcement
Speaker 1: has social media too? Do you not understand I said
Speaker 1: this earlier, and I'm serious. You know how they used
Speaker 1: to do ride alongs with cops. I want to do
Speaker 1: a sit along with police officers and I want to
Speaker 1: sit and observe them observing this kind of stuff on
Speaker 1: social media. There has to be old detectives who can't
Speaker 1: believe that there are actually individuals.
Speaker 9: Doing their jobs for them.
Speaker 1: Smartphones in the hands of dumb niggas make law enforcements
Speaker 1: jobs so easy, and I know they be laughing, they
Speaker 1: ass off at our stupidity.
Speaker 9: I want to see it.
Speaker 1: I want to see old officers telling young officers how
Speaker 1: easy they got it and they don't even have to
Speaker 1: do any real detective work, because that is what I
Speaker 1: know is happening, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I have to say this, but for
Speaker 1: the record, the screetch of Corny, the screech are lame.
Speaker 1: We have years and years of data and evidence that
Speaker 1: shows us that acting like how Kenna Petty is still
Speaker 1: acting at forty five will do nothing but lead us
Speaker 1: to jail to death. Who wants that?
Speaker 13: Ken?
Speaker 1: If you are in a privileged position, you married a
Speaker 1: very successful woman, you have access to resources that nobody
Speaker 1: you came up with probably got. Okay, the only op
Speaker 1: you should know at forty five it's opportunity. Okay, you
Speaker 1: and your family have the opportunity to break every single
Speaker 1: generational curse that has ever existed in your bloodline. You
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to actually show the hood a different way.
Speaker 1: If you can get dudes to stand out in the
Speaker 1: middle of New York with you looking for an op,
Speaker 1: then you can take those same dudes and create some
Speaker 1: type of business that provides them an opportunity to not
Speaker 1: make the same mistakes that you have made in your life. Okay,
Speaker 1: my brothers, I don't know how many ways to tell
Speaker 1: you there is nothing to be gained from the streets.
Speaker 1: There is nothing to be gained from being hard, being tough,
Speaker 1: and when you know better, you do better. And we
Speaker 1: all have to know better because we have too many
Speaker 1: examples that show us where those streets lead. So I'll
Speaker 1: leave you with this, Kenneth and not just kennef all
Speaker 1: you street dudes. Smart people learn from their own mistakes.
Speaker 1: Whise people learn from the mistakes of others. Dumb niggas
Speaker 1: never learn at all. Which one do you choose to be?
Speaker 1: Let's all do better, black men, because I'm tired of this.
Speaker 1: Please let remy ma give Kenneth Petty the biggest he huh.
Speaker 5: Hee ha, you stupid mother?
Speaker 1: Are you dumb?
Speaker 9: All right?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 9: Did I say nigga too much?
Speaker 7: No? You did?
Speaker 9: One or two is good? But he did like seven eight,
Speaker 9: tell bat piece and then we'll balance it up.
Speaker 5: No boy being team.
Speaker 9: We'll see how them all peace? How you want to
Speaker 9: balance this out? Talk about white people?
Speaker 5: That's good.
Speaker 1: So what you want to do? I thought you had
Speaker 1: something over?
Speaker 5: I mean we did, but you you we want to
Speaker 5: go white relationship, relationship relationship min Mo may.
Speaker 9: Tell you about the love the love plane.
Speaker 1: I don't want to love.
Speaker 9: I'll tell you about that later. I tell you about
Speaker 9: that La, me and La.
Speaker 6: We're talking about the They're gonna be a great thing
Speaker 6: Vegas buzz buzzmans.
Speaker 5: But what do we call this?
Speaker 7: You better not.
Speaker 6: That's like forget your anniversary.
Speaker 5: Right, you're right right with bro mance somewhere about i'llell
Speaker 5: you about it, lady and the love plane. Just keep
Speaker 5: that in your mind, all right. Now, let's talk about
Speaker 5: Love is Blind.
Speaker 8: Yes, so two Love is Blind stars are now separated,
Speaker 8: and this is insane. So Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas separated.
Speaker 8: Jackie posted this story and basically said in the video
Speaker 8: that she was asked by Josh to not speak to
Speaker 8: a certain ex. She didn't understand why that was necessary. Like,
Speaker 8: we're together, we're in love, we're making plans for a future.
Speaker 1: What you got to be talking to your ex about?
Speaker 1: Y'all got kids.
Speaker 6: Together, listen, I don't know.
Speaker 8: She didn't go into detail about what the conversation was about,
Speaker 8: but she did say that Josh should asks her to
Speaker 8: not speak to this ex because if you.
Speaker 1: Only got no business what you're talking about.
Speaker 9: But let's let's open up the phone lines.
Speaker 8: Let's because she decided to do it and he broke
Speaker 8: up with her, and she says she's back from the
Speaker 8: to come back and everything, and they were making plans
Speaker 8: for the future together.
Speaker 5: So eight hundred five one five to one is talking
Speaker 5: to your ex disrespectful relationship?
Speaker 9: Should you talk about it? And if you do, what
Speaker 9: does that mean? Terms of breakup?
Speaker 5: Let's discuss.
Speaker 1: Need to hear more about this king when we come back,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll talk about it. Eight hundred and five
Speaker 1: eight five one.
Speaker 9: Oh five one.
Speaker 5: Let's discuss. It's breakfast club.
Speaker 26: Good morning the breakfast Club. It's topic time called eight
Speaker 26: hundred five five five one to join into the discussion.
Speaker 9: With the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Talk about it.
Speaker 5: Holding everybody in j n V. Charlamagne the guy. We
Speaker 5: are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Laura L.
Speaker 5: Rosa is our guest host today and we were talking
Speaker 5: love is Blonde.
Speaker 8: Now what we were discussing, So we're talking about the
Speaker 8: fact that two lovers blond stars recently broke up, Jackie
Speaker 8: Bonds and Josh Demas. I don't know if I'm saying
Speaker 8: this last name right, but they broke up because Jackie
Speaker 8: went and had a sit down conversation with Josh's ex
Speaker 8: fiance about what her name is, Monica Rodriguez, and on
Speaker 8: the show, basically they had a really bad like breakup,
Speaker 8: like they were supposed to get burried.
Speaker 6: It didn't happen. It was just it was just not good.
Speaker 8: Now she wanted to sit down with her to talk
Speaker 8: about it, and of course he felt uncomfortable about that
Speaker 8: and he taught her not to do it.
Speaker 6: She did it anyway, so he said, I'm good.
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting, that's actually not a bad idea
Speaker 1: for relationships.
Speaker 9: Yeah, because it's like it's like a reference, right, Like
Speaker 9: if you.
Speaker 1: About to hire somebody for a job, you're gonna go
Speaker 1: talk to their previous employee.
Speaker 5: I mean to see what didn't work, what was wrong?
Speaker 5: Did she didn't smell like what's the problem?
Speaker 9: But for him is foul?
Speaker 23: No.
Speaker 8: I feel like because you're different and you're different with
Speaker 8: different people, Like what happened in their relationship and their
Speaker 8: engagement and why it didn't go forward might not happen
Speaker 8: in this one. So it's kind of like now you
Speaker 8: got these preconceived notions of like what may or may
Speaker 8: not happen because of what already, like what I went
Speaker 8: through in the past.
Speaker 6: When if you're dealing with me, she don't owe you anything.
Speaker 5: But think about this. Say you're dating somebody and you
Speaker 5: got a chance to talk to this act and you
Speaker 5: found out that he was a cheetah or a skill
Speaker 5: or an.
Speaker 6: Abusive wouldn't want to you know why?
Speaker 8: Because now I'm going into that relationship like, well he's
Speaker 8: on the last one.
Speaker 5: If he was the last, maybe maybe that's that you
Speaker 5: look at and you don't have to deal with your
Speaker 5: hurt and the thing that he's gonna Can you pick.
Speaker 8: Up on certain red flags without having to know anything
Speaker 8: about it X That's why, honestly, like when people go
Speaker 8: and move to different states and go to college and
Speaker 8: meet people that's not where from where they're from.
Speaker 6: They enjoy it because you have no ties to any
Speaker 6: of the baggage, Like, why would you want that? If
Speaker 6: you happy to be happy?
Speaker 5: If I had an opportunity to talk to Charlaman's previous employer, right,
Speaker 5: and he would tell me how he flirts with his
Speaker 5: other coworkers, that you know, he likes to hug him
Speaker 5: from the back, and I would have known that before.
Speaker 9: I don't know if i'd work.
Speaker 1: First of all, that's never happened, and is projecting and
Speaker 1: he's talking about the things that he likes to do
Speaker 1: with me.
Speaker 9: Okay, that's never happened.
Speaker 1: But what I will say about this situation, all I
Speaker 1: really do here is a king who set a boundary, right,
Speaker 1: this woman didn't respect his boundary, and since she couldn't
Speaker 1: respect his boundary, he bounced.
Speaker 9: And my therapist would tell me to do the same
Speaker 9: thing to people.
Speaker 1: If you set a boundary and that person does not
Speaker 1: want to respect your boundary, you leave my boundary.
Speaker 9: I don't want you talking to my ex.
Speaker 6: I just hope you as a hide and something that
Speaker 6: and that's why he don't want to talking to the
Speaker 6: X he.
Speaker 9: Could he could know, and doesn't want to badmouth the X.
Speaker 1: He could know. Maybe the exes bitter.
Speaker 6: But that's what I'm saying too.
Speaker 8: On the other side of it, that's how I'm looking
Speaker 8: at it, like, I wouldn't want to go talk to
Speaker 8: your ex because if it didn't work out with y'all
Speaker 8: and it's not one hundred percent plus like a good vibe,
Speaker 8: that's just gonna put a bad taste to my mind.
Speaker 9: That's real.
Speaker 1: I want that.
Speaker 6: I want the repisido and all the red flags in
Speaker 6: the beginning. Jesus Christ, if you're happy to be.
Speaker 2: After three times Lobos Lobos, Yes, shout out to the
Speaker 2: logo scene, all right, if Lebron's right, Yes, So what's
Speaker 2: the question with asking if you had an X and
Speaker 2: you said to your new person, I don't want you
Speaker 2: communicating with that ex that excess reached out, I wanted
Speaker 2: to sit down, have a conversation clearer, err, especially if
Speaker 2: there's no kids involved, would you allow your new significant
Speaker 2: other to sit down with your ex?
Speaker 5: That is the question. We're gonna We're gonna take some
Speaker 5: calls when we come back.
Speaker 9: Now that we clear it up.
Speaker 5: Eight hundred and five eight five one five one us
Speaker 5: up right now, it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 27: Go one, call me your opinions to the Breakfast Club
Speaker 27: top Come on eight hundred five five one morning.
Speaker 5: Everybody's DJ n V. Charlamagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 5: Breakfast Club. Lauren Rose is here and if you're just
Speaker 5: joining us, we're talking about Love is Blind? What happened
Speaker 5: with Love is Blind? Let's break it down.
Speaker 6: So love is Blind. There is a couple.
Speaker 8: So there's Jackie and there's Josh, and they recently broke
Speaker 8: up because Jackie decided that she wanted to go and
Speaker 8: have a conversation with Josh's ex fiance.
Speaker 6: Who he was going to marry on the show but
Speaker 6: didn't art.
Speaker 8: It didn't happen, of course, because he ended up with
Speaker 8: Jackie and he asked her to she decided gonna do
Speaker 8: it anyway, and he said, nope, I'm good.
Speaker 9: So the question is eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 9: oh five one.
Speaker 5: How would you feel if your girl talked to your ex?
Speaker 5: That's the question that we're asking. You have somebody online
Speaker 5: six that actually watches the show Courtney. You watched the
Speaker 5: show Courtney, I agree, and what's your thoughts?
Speaker 12: Gordon I believe that Jackie should have left Joshua from
Speaker 12: alone from the beginning because he was a hot mess
Speaker 12: during the pod you know, part of their show. He
Speaker 12: was very childish. And I believe the ex that she's
Speaker 12: referring to in his ex who was actually her friend
Speaker 12: at one point on the reunion, if it's the same
Speaker 12: girl that they're talking about, I think she was trying
Speaker 12: to tell her like jo, I don't even know why
Speaker 12: you bothered the childish And I agree she should have
Speaker 12: accepted the proposal Manica. Okay, yeah, I don't think she
Speaker 12: should have accepted the proposal from the original person. She did,
Speaker 12: but she shouldn't have tried to get into a relationship
Speaker 12: with old boy.
Speaker 5: Okay, Hello, who's this?
Speaker 19: Are you doing?
Speaker 7: This? Is Pedro?
Speaker 28: Like that?
Speaker 13: What up?
Speaker 19: What up?
Speaker 21: What up? In New York?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 9: How do you know you paid herself?
Speaker 5: Like Pedro?
Speaker 1: You black?
Speaker 13: Now?
Speaker 25: I'm Puerto Rican?
Speaker 5: And Trinity Daddian, well trinid Daddyan all right, payde come on, what's.
Speaker 25: My thoughts right now? Let's see, I've been married for
Speaker 25: fourteen years, you know, and the thing that I could
Speaker 25: tell you know, I would never let my wife, you know,
Speaker 25: speak to a act. You know, I have custody of
Speaker 25: my first son. Now you know, he's nineteen, and I
Speaker 25: don't even speak to his mother. You know, I should
Speaker 25: have disrespectful, you know, you know.
Speaker 1: You know, I guess you're talking about he's over eighteen.
Speaker 9: I guess y'a don't really got to communicate like y'all
Speaker 9: probably did right.
Speaker 25: Now, Well, we didn't communicate when he was young either.
Speaker 25: You know, I toubtly disrespectful.
Speaker 23: You know.
Speaker 25: If I'm talking to her about certain things that I'm
Speaker 25: not talking to my wife about, you know that's wrong.
Speaker 25: You know, I just sure that's wrong. You know, especially
Speaker 25: if you're having a dinner, you know, a private dinner
Speaker 25: and all that talking about things, you know, and if
Speaker 25: you don't respect what I'm saying about, you know, not
Speaker 25: talking to him, that means that you don't respect our
Speaker 25: marriage or our relationship.
Speaker 8: So you're raising your son down with your new wife,
Speaker 8: right What if his mom reached out and said, hey,
Speaker 8: I want to sit down and have a conversation with
Speaker 8: her because I just want to I don't know this,
Speaker 8: figure out where she's coming from and how she's raising
Speaker 8: my son or just anything.
Speaker 6: Would you allow them to to sit down oh yeah, of.
Speaker 25: Course, you know what I'm saying, but it has to
Speaker 25: be I think the communication between both of us, not
Speaker 25: just me. You know, my wife is part of me,
Speaker 25: so that's my circle. So if you want part of me,
Speaker 25: you gotta have to hold circle too.
Speaker 1: All I hear is people are having grown people having conversations,
Speaker 1: grown people setting boundaries. You either respect people's boundaries or
Speaker 1: you don't. You know what I'm that situation. I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with the baby.
Speaker 5: I don't have a problem talking about the baby, but
Speaker 5: our relationship because, like you said, if you talk to
Speaker 5: my ex, my ex might be lying, My ex might
Speaker 5: still want me back, my ex might be putting things
Speaker 5: in your mind that's going to hurt our relationship and
Speaker 5: not actually help.
Speaker 9: So I would have a problem that.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 6: I felt like that in the beginning.
Speaker 8: And I don't watch Love is Blind, but I know
Speaker 8: that this is a big couple from the show because
Speaker 8: when she when Jackie did the TikTok video, I saw
Speaker 8: the reports everywhere. What is giving to me is like
Speaker 8: Monica reached out on some like girl, forget what we
Speaker 8: went through.
Speaker 6: I just really want you.
Speaker 8: I don't want to see you go through that and
Speaker 8: there might be some stuff that he might need to
Speaker 8: get it get together, and he don't want that. He
Speaker 8: wants her to be able to just you know, saw butterflies,
Speaker 8: the lies in the beginning. He wants to keep it there.
Speaker 1: Oh so they was cool to two girls.
Speaker 6: I don't watch the show. That's what the caller said.
Speaker 8: I don't know, but it just seems like if I know,
Speaker 8: I do know from what I read that they're like,
Speaker 8: whatever happened and the reason why they didn't get married,
Speaker 8: it was a little bit messy. Right, So if that
Speaker 8: is the case and then they sit down, maybe it's
Speaker 8: not bitterness. What if she's just like, I'm trying to
Speaker 8: pull homegirl up like I want to whatever. I still
Speaker 8: don't know if I would go down and go and
Speaker 8: have that sit down, because if I made my decision,
Speaker 8: especially if we're all on the same show or I've
Speaker 8: seen it, I know what I'm walking into.
Speaker 9: Right, all Right, Well, what's the morrow of the story.
Speaker 9: If there's a moro.
Speaker 8: Put people on the block listess, then they can't call you,
Speaker 8: You can't have a conversation with somebody they black by.
Speaker 1: The way, that's a boundary, right, So what if that
Speaker 1: if that person gets another phone and calls you after
Speaker 1: they know you block them.
Speaker 8: If you get boundaries, that is a crazy ex If
Speaker 8: she writes you on cash at to sit down and
Speaker 8: talk to you about your man after she didn't block you,
Speaker 8: I probably would have that conversation because something going on her.
Speaker 8: She had to go all the way to cash tell
Speaker 8: me something. Yeah, I want to I want to hear that.
Speaker 8: That's the crazyest.
Speaker 5: It's a body in the basement somewhere. All right, Well,
Speaker 5: we got rumors on the way. What we talk about
Speaker 5: in the rumors, So.
Speaker 8: Coming up next to the rumors, we were going to
Speaker 8: be talking about Tim's and why the internet thinks she's
Speaker 8: pregnant by future.
Speaker 9: Okay, what right, we'll get to that nexus the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5: Morning, Everybody, It's d J n V Charlamagne the guy.
Speaker 5: We are the Breakfast Club. Laura Rosa is here, Yes,
Speaker 5: and let's get to the rumas. I think a lot
Speaker 5: of people.
Speaker 6: Will recognize the voice from the name on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 9: Lauren came in hot, you know.
Speaker 8: So we're kicking off this set of rumors with a
Speaker 8: Brown Girl Grinding exclusive. So we dropped the podcast Brown
Speaker 8: Girgrinding Laura l Rosa, you can get it everywhere. I
Speaker 8: heard Apple, Spotify, all that good stuff. But I sat
Speaker 8: down with Stephanie Dunnovan. She is the VP of Branded
Speaker 8: Content and Video at Essence. So Essence Magazine has this
Speaker 8: series on own. It's called The Time of Essence. This
Speaker 8: series is so fire, y'all, Like it takes you from
Speaker 8: the seventies to today, and it breaks each episode of
Speaker 8: the series down into like different decades, and there's people
Speaker 8: from that decade that help shape the magazine and create it.
Speaker 8: And they just talk about like all of the history
Speaker 8: and like just how Essence and like black media was
Speaker 8: like just thriving and just doing all this stuff. They
Speaker 8: talked about the Vanessa Williams time when they stood behind
Speaker 8: her with the cover, just all these things, and I'm
Speaker 8: like to hear all of this and know that people
Speaker 8: don't regard Essence in the way they should.
Speaker 6: It breaks my heart a little bit. I feel like
Speaker 6: the time's changing a little bit.
Speaker 8: But I asked Stephanie, hey, after watching this series, I
Speaker 8: feel like I need to correct people a little bit
Speaker 8: about Essence magazines and the ebonizes and everything that you guys,
Speaker 8: how y'all held us down, we wouldn't have a Shaveroom,
Speaker 8: wouldn't have a Hollywood and Live, we wouldn't have a
Speaker 8: lot of this media. Right, But do you feel like,
Speaker 8: cause celebrities drive the culture, we're in the Shaveroom comments
Speaker 8: because the celebrities are there, things like that, Essence doesn't
Speaker 8: really get a lot of that love from a lot
Speaker 8: of the celebrities. It's changing, but it's not as big
Speaker 8: as it should be. Do you feel like I feel?
Speaker 8: Do you agree with that? So this is what Stephanie said.
Speaker 28: It's twofold, right. I know that there is an outcry,
Speaker 28: especially when we're covering red carpets. Right, there was a
Speaker 28: whole movement that Jason Lee started from Hollywood Unlocked of like, people,
Speaker 28: are black celebrities not prioritizing Essence or black owned media
Speaker 28: when they're on the red carpets and they're like b
Speaker 28: lining to People magazine or the other magazines because of
Speaker 28: the reach that they might have where these are the
Speaker 28: outlets that were supporting them whether they were hot or not.
Speaker 10: So that's one side of it.
Speaker 28: But then there's also the side when we made the
Speaker 28: call to action for celebrities to come to the table
Speaker 28: to tell this story. There was no shortage of people
Speaker 28: that jumped at it, like we have Holly Berry, we
Speaker 28: have Shaerylye Routh, we have Oprah, we have Whoopee, like
Speaker 28: just Sunny Haustin, such great names that came out and
Speaker 28: jumped at the chance to help tell the story and
Speaker 28: the legacy of this.
Speaker 1: I think Essence and Well first of all, Sleuth, the Essence,
Speaker 1: Ebony and Jet drop on the clues bonds for all
Speaker 1: three of them.
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely right. They paved the way for everything that
Speaker 9: we see now.
Speaker 1: But I think they're known for being print publications, and
Speaker 1: I think that they may have still been holding on
Speaker 1: to being print publications when the digital publications was rising,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of these digital platforms just
Speaker 1: became what people go to now. That's also it's like
Speaker 1: Essence and Ebony and Jet if they're still they're trying
Speaker 1: to get in the digital game now, they trying to
Speaker 1: catch up.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not The reason why, I as said,
Speaker 6: is like so before I told you guys about the
Speaker 6: serious had you heard about it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: No, when I say it is so good, like I
Speaker 8: everybody needs to go watch this. It will change your
Speaker 8: mind about the power that media has that we haven't.
Speaker 8: Like I just was like, why don't more people know
Speaker 8: about this?
Speaker 1: I think that's what's supposed to be happening, right, Like
Speaker 1: you you need the platforms of today to pay homage
Speaker 1: to the platforms that came before them, you know, like
Speaker 1: the Essences that everybodies, the jets. You got to do
Speaker 1: documentaries and stuff on these publications to let folks know
Speaker 1: what was.
Speaker 5: But you but you said it right. It's times have changed,
Speaker 5: so a lot of people go to news in different places.
Speaker 5: Like you know, a lot of younger individuals don't know
Speaker 5: what Essence is or don't know what magazine is or
Speaker 5: Ebony magazine is because they go online and they follow
Speaker 5: the shade rooms, the ball of alerts, the high win locks,
Speaker 5: and that's their publication. Same thing with the older generation
Speaker 5: like my mom and dad. It's just getting in the
Speaker 5: Netflix the last couple of years.
Speaker 9: But what was that thing?
Speaker 5: Blockbuster because that's what they were on.
Speaker 6: You know, right, Well, yeah, make sure you guys go
Speaker 6: check out that.
Speaker 5: I would love to see that.
Speaker 6: It's called The Time of Essence on own. You can
Speaker 6: watch all the episodes.
Speaker 8: You could binge watch it if you want to hear
Speaker 8: our interview go and subscribe and download and rate the
Speaker 8: podcast Broncar Grinded with Lona Rosa. The visual of that
Speaker 8: interview will be dropping later today, but make sure you
Speaker 8: go check out the audio right now.
Speaker 1: I can't think of too many print publications that transition
Speaker 1: to digital and then people started following digital.
Speaker 9: I can think of one. Whats that what. I don't
Speaker 9: want to say it because they're not black, but I.
Speaker 6: Can because if they're not black and don't count were
Speaker 6: talking about because.
Speaker 9: Even like Source Magazine, like Source Magazine is not one
Speaker 9: that went that.
Speaker 5: People Magazine did a good job. People Magazine did a
Speaker 5: transition digit Double x Cell didn't get pretty good too
Speaker 5: with the Double XL discussion. They did good. Double Health
Speaker 5: didre good.
Speaker 8: Because if you think about Source all hip hop, like
Speaker 8: some of the other hip hop.
Speaker 5: Related hip hop DX so didn't do that well.
Speaker 6: No they didn't.
Speaker 8: Double x does a really good job of st Yeah,
Speaker 8: but like they kind of to me, they fall in
Speaker 8: that like era of like you might not know them
Speaker 8: if you're not from a certain time, like you know
Speaker 8: what I mean, Like, no, you don't just know of
Speaker 8: them unless you are reading certain things or care about
Speaker 8: certain things are from a certain generation that cared about them.
Speaker 9: You're right, and I'll tell you another thing.
Speaker 1: A lot of those dot coms, you know, making the
Speaker 1: transition to the social media pages because.
Speaker 9: Most of that stuff is Instagram now correct, you're.
Speaker 6: Talking with social takes over.
Speaker 8: So, speaking of speaking of social media right now, there
Speaker 8: is a rumor that is going around that Tims is
Speaker 8: allegedly pregnant by Future. This all started from TikTok. Y'all,
Speaker 8: there is no like, I'm seeing, no confirmed reports anything
Speaker 8: like that. This started from a TikTok video and fans
Speaker 8: just went wild with it, which is.
Speaker 6: Insane to me.
Speaker 1: This is this is why the essences and he's in
Speaker 1: the jets and all the other publications. The people can't
Speaker 1: keep up.
Speaker 9: No, they can't keep up.
Speaker 5: By the time they print that story, it's we are
Speaker 5: on to another story.
Speaker 1: They probably not go printed because it's not real. But
Speaker 1: tak care and social media don't care anything. I want
Speaker 1: to know though, like why.
Speaker 8: Do women just get like pitted with these men like
Speaker 8: not no shape the future, but it's like why, like
Speaker 8: how did that even come about?
Speaker 6: Just because they did a song together?
Speaker 9: No clue, you told me that's what you wanted. You
Speaker 9: told me you wanted to be paid with somebody.
Speaker 8: I can tell y'all want to be here. That's the
Speaker 8: problem with men in the world and women, especially black women.
Speaker 8: Y'all want to y'all want to figure things out. Let
Speaker 8: us figure it out.
Speaker 6: I didn't tell you that that I.
Speaker 9: Want to be seen with somebody and I wanted to.
Speaker 6: Be he is lying. I did not say that that.
Speaker 1: I did not say.
