Speaker 6: That's what you mean.
Speaker 3: It was like when I was a kid, he would

Speaker 1: black people into baseball baseball, right, I mean, so it's
Speaker 1: dope even though your children are Dominican.
Speaker 5: And my children are not Dominican, they're black.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I love that, and I love the fact
Speaker 3: that growing up in Queen's, you know, it was hard
Speaker 3: to play baseball because there weren't too many big baseball
Speaker 3: teams out there. So like I had to go to
Speaker 3: Long Island and play baseball. I know, certain areas, like
Speaker 3: know Rosedale and Queen's had baseball, but there was basketball everywhere.
Speaker 3: There was football, soccer because it's a very Caribbean town
Speaker 3: and Queens I grew up like in a Haitian town,
Speaker 3: so like soccer was big.
Speaker 2: Oh so mad Haitians and Dominicans.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't say Dominicans. I said I grew up
Speaker 3: in a Haitian town, a Haitian area, and it was
Speaker 3: heavy soccer, footballers what they called it. So who else
Speaker 3: we got this morning?
Speaker 2: All right? We got to hot the brothers from Power.

Speaker 3: And also over the weekend they're doing a huge doula
Speaker 3: ex bo all right, and Latham Thomas was putting it,
Speaker 3: put it on a glow. She'll be joining us this
Speaker 3: morning to talk about that as well.
Speaker 1: This is the third Doula ex Bowl. I spoke at
Speaker 1: Dula ex Bowl last year. Latham Mama Glow as we
Speaker 1: call her. She is my family's dula. She delivered my
Speaker 1: last two.
Speaker 3: Now, for people who don't know what a doula does,
Speaker 3: because I've never had to do a live six kids,
Speaker 3: what does the dula do during everything?
Speaker 2: Everything?
Speaker 1: The daddy don't do everything the daddy's supposed to be doing,
Speaker 1: but meaning providing emotional support, even though I was providing
Speaker 1: emotional support, but not like she does.
Speaker 2: But I mean it's not even just like during the
Speaker 2: actual birth.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, for the eight nine months leading
Speaker 1: up to the berth you know, just constantly with the
Speaker 1: with the wife, making sure the wife is you know,
Speaker 1: taking the proper things that she should be taking, and
Speaker 1: you know, just just damn for them. You know, she
Speaker 1: can explain it better than I can. She was there
Speaker 1: for two years, right, dude, the last two, the last two, Yeah,
Speaker 1: showed you how much I was paying attention.
Speaker 2: I just was.
Speaker 6: Games.
Speaker 2: I still remember one thing in particular. I remember.
Speaker 1: My wife was supposed to have gone in the labor already,
Speaker 1: but it hadn't. And I remember Latham telling her to
Speaker 1: take some a couple of cast oiler, and I remember
Speaker 1: she went in the label that night after taking that
Speaker 1: cup of cast oil. Usually they say a couple of
Speaker 1: cast oil, but like a shot some cast oil, some
Speaker 1: cast oil, right, I remember that, right, and the cast
Speaker 1: oil meaning not because somebody remember the acupunctu too. It
Speaker 1: was the far fourth child. It was the same thing
Speaker 1: as the baby was supposed to be there that week.
Speaker 1: It's like, do someax punks just s max punks? And
Speaker 1: I think the baby she went in the labor that
Speaker 1: day that night, ye.
Speaker 3: Because usually they say sex or if the mom walks,
Speaker 3: so they tell the mom to walk around them.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 1: That's not like the stuff y'all googled. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that don't work. But you know, we never had any
Speaker 1: stuff to do.
Speaker 2: Le't provide it.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's get the show crack and we
Speaker 3: got front page. She was coming up teslaing, figure out
Speaker 3: will be joining us.
Speaker 2: It don't move.
Speaker 5: It's the breakfast club.
Speaker 2: Good morning. But everybody.
Speaker 3: It's DJ Envy, Charlamage, the God. We are the breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Let's get in some front.
Speaker 1: Page news now, teslaing figure over is here, come on
Speaker 1: the test, whisper up.
Speaker 7: Good morning, DJ V and Charlemagne.
Speaker 2: How are you feeling.
Speaker 7: I'm feeling good. Glad it's Friday.
Speaker 5: You and me both. Let's get right into it now.
Speaker 1: Last night the Sports, the Nuggets beat the Lakers one
Speaker 1: of eight, one o three.
Speaker 2: The Lakers were up by like twelve at one.
Speaker 3: Point, but couldn't hold down the Nugget and Nuggets will
Speaker 3: lead that series two zero.
Speaker 2: And I think the Nuggets going win it all.
Speaker 1: Personally, I mean, I picked Golden State at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year, but I think the Nugge's gonna win
Speaker 1: it all.
Speaker 3: Now, let's get into some news now. White supremacist label
Speaker 3: is the same as saying the N word.
Speaker 8: Yes, according to Marjorie Taylor Green. At a press conference,
Speaker 8: the far right Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green spoke about
Speaker 8: a confrontation outside the capitol of the day before with
Speaker 8: the New York Democratic Congressman Jamal Bowman. Green said that
Speaker 8: Bowman was shouting at the top of his lungs, cursing,
Speaker 8: calling me a white supremacist, which I take great offense
Speaker 8: to that. It's like calling a person of color the
Speaker 8: N word, which should never happen. Calling me a white
Speaker 8: supremacist is equal to that, and.
Speaker 7: That is wrong.
Speaker 8: Now, Representative Jamal Bowman did respond. Let's take a listen
Speaker 8: to what he had to say. We'll talk about on
Speaker 8: the other side.
Speaker 9: Majority Taylor Green in her press conference this morning, I
Speaker 9: said something incredibly dangerous and incredibly reckless about mamm talking
Speaker 9: about my demeanor as being aggressive and saying that she
Speaker 9: feels intimidated a lot. Unfortunately, this country has a history
Speaker 9: of characterizing black men who are outspoken, who's standing their
Speaker 9: ground and who pushed back as being threatening or intimidating.
Speaker 9: So she's not even using a dog with her, she's
Speaker 9: using a bullhorn to put a target on my back
Speaker 9: to the people that she refers to as maga, people
Speaker 9: out there who might want to cause harm.
Speaker 2: This is the same reason why Mike Brown was killed
Speaker 2: through the Congressman Jamal Bowman.
Speaker 1: I like that brother a lot, and he's absolutely right,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And she know what she
Speaker 1: was doing. It's the same reason It's the same way
Speaker 1: when you see that young lady, that white woman this
Speaker 1: week with the city bikes. When she started yelling and scream,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because the brothers had the
Speaker 1: city bikes.
Speaker 2: She started yelling help help, They started crying fake and
Speaker 2: all that. They know how to weaponize, they whiteness when
Speaker 2: they need to.
Speaker 5: All right, well that is front page.
Speaker 1: And question, is it's safe to call the white person
Speaker 1: a white supremacist if they call me an inWORD, it's
Speaker 1: pretty safe.
Speaker 7: I think quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Here, like, yeah, they call me an inWORD. I don't
Speaker 1: prefer white supremacists. I prefer cracking ass cracking. That's my either,
Speaker 1: that's my retort of choice. O work, yes, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, well get it off your chest. We'll see
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. Test eight hundred five eight
Speaker 1: five one oh five one. If you need to vent again,
Speaker 1: hit us up eight hundred five eight five one oh
Speaker 1: five one.
Speaker 5: I just want to tell you people about uh out there,
Speaker 5: about road rage.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 1: A friend of mine yesterday was in Atlanta and uh,
Speaker 1: the light change. He beat the horn and the guy
Speaker 1: in front of him didn't move, so he beat the
Speaker 1: horn again, and the guy pulled her on the side
Speaker 1: of him, was like, yo, you have a little patience.
Speaker 5: So my man was like, you know, the light change,
Speaker 5: I'm just beating, letting you know.
Speaker 1: It's like I been at few.
Speaker 3: So my man was like a few pulled off right.
Speaker 3: Guy pulls up on the side of him. He goes, hey,
Speaker 3: your nigga. My man looks he's raising with mace in
Speaker 3: the car.
Speaker 2: The black dude's braiding with mace.
Speaker 1: No, the white dude's braid the black dude mace. And
Speaker 1: that's nasty. That ain't funny.
Speaker 6: It's funny.
Speaker 1: Man, you yell hay n word, you get full of mace. Definitely,
Speaker 1: God damn. And he couldn't do nothing.
Speaker 3: So the first thing you do is you try to
Speaker 3: wipe your eyes, and it makes it worse. So now
Speaker 3: he was stuck at the light. He couldn't chase the
Speaker 3: guy could do.
Speaker 1: It could have been way worse than twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: I told him that America likes to to leave people alone,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to that roll rage.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I say the same thing. But clearly that was a
Speaker 1: white racist in that car, Absolu. Clearly that was a
Speaker 1: white supremacist.
Speaker 2: Clearly if you lead with.
Speaker 5: Hand word yes, clearly, all.
Speaker 2: Right, get it off your chest.
Speaker 3: Eight hundred and five eight five one oh five one.
Speaker 3: If you need to vent phone lines to wide open.
Speaker 3: It's a Friday. Let us know how you feel.
Speaker 2: See Rick rossmitting this morning on my guy.
Speaker 5: But what's he saying?
Speaker 4: Damn?
Speaker 5: What's he saying?
Speaker 2: We talked about it when we get back. Somebody just
Speaker 2: sent me this.
Speaker 1: That's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. This
Speaker 1: is your time to get it off your chest. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred and five eight five one five one. We want
Speaker 1: to hear from you on the breakfast club.
Speaker 10: Come on, who's this concern lunch lady.
Speaker 5: Concern lunch lady, Good morning, concern lunch lady. Get it
Speaker 5: off your chest.
Speaker 2: I love, by the way, I love lunch ladies.
Speaker 1: My grandmother was a lunch lady at Already Intermediate school
Speaker 1: in Monks Corner, South Carolina.
Speaker 10: Well, we thank you for the metal area, hey, okay,
Speaker 10: and yes, my concern is they always taught the politicians
Speaker 10: always talking about giving teachers and bus drivers raises, and
Speaker 10: what about bus driver? What about custodians and cafeterity of work?
Speaker 10: That's right, just a TRD we're the only ones that
Speaker 10: see every student in the building.
Speaker 2: That's right, every day.
Speaker 10: Would we make less than six hundred bucks every fifteen days?
Speaker 10: And it's no big deal because then I.
Speaker 1: Never even thought about how much my grandmother me. My
Speaker 1: grandmother was a lunch lady and my cousin.
Speaker 5: You never think about it.
Speaker 3: My cousin Gloria was a lunch lady. But you absolutely
Speaker 3: you deserve. You definitely deserve raises. You definitely have to
Speaker 3: deal with some crazy kids sometimes, so you definitely deserve
Speaker 3: all the love.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you appreciate you.
Speaker 10: And my cousin you and y'all have.
Speaker 11: A box day.
Speaker 1: And my grandma's cousin, Miss Francis, was a lunch lady.
Speaker 1: Because all of them was cool, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like my cousin Gloria and my grandma used to live
Speaker 1: by each other, and my cousin Francis used to live
Speaker 1: up the street from what they were all lunch ladies.
Speaker 2: Hello, who's this?
Speaker 12: Good morning?
Speaker 2: Good morning?
Speaker 12: This is it falling in Indy?
Speaker 5: Good morning?
Speaker 1: Get it off your chest.
Speaker 12: I just want to blast Howard University. They need to
Speaker 12: give a little bit more money and loans. I'm sorry
Speaker 12: the scholarship.
Speaker 3: You're saying Howard University should be giving more back to
Speaker 3: the students.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, well we'll blast my dad. I never I
Speaker 5: never mind University.
Speaker 6: You're from Hampton.
Speaker 2: You're from Hampton.
Speaker 1: I don't mind when somebody no, I'm from Florida.
Speaker 12: I am from Florida. And it don't make sense. My
Speaker 12: daughter get accepted in so many other schools for our poverra,
Speaker 12: but Howard Universities offering the list the littlest money than
Speaker 12: the other schools, and she looks forward to sitting a
Speaker 12: black excellent school.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. Was the other schools
Speaker 3: that gave them more scholarship money?
Speaker 5: Were they HBCUs.
Speaker 12: They're no, they're not HBC.
Speaker 5: And that's part of the problem.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, you know, and and and shout.
Speaker 5: To Howard, shouting all the HBCUs.
Speaker 3: A lot of the HBCUs don't have the money to
Speaker 3: give scholarships like a lot of these PWI schools do.
Speaker 5: And that's the problem.
Speaker 3: So we have to make sure as alumni that we donate,
Speaker 3: that we go to those galas, that we make sure
Speaker 3: we send money back to our schools in funnel money
Speaker 3: back to those colleges so that they can give kids
Speaker 3: scholarships and can give kids book scholarships and jobs and
Speaker 3: all those other days.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of time.
Speaker 3: They just don't have it, Mama, because they don't have
Speaker 3: the endowment that a lot of these other colleges do have.
Speaker 2: They can't give you what they don't got.
Speaker 1: You're right, and I got in there, and I don't
Speaker 1: ever want us to I don't ever want people to
Speaker 1: think we're not practicing what we preaching because I have
Speaker 1: an endowment front at South Carolina State University and my
Speaker 1: grandmother's name, actually my grandmother, who was a lunch lady,
Speaker 1: called the Ford Family Scholarship.
Speaker 3: And we just recently had a gala we could go
Speaker 3: in the city for having university. I think we raised
Speaker 3: over one hundred thousand dollars, and that exactly is for
Speaker 3: that for that student that might just need a couple
Speaker 3: of dollars to graduate but can't afford it, so that
Speaker 3: money will go to them. I don't remember the collective
Speaker 3: that put it on, but I was there. THEA was there,
Speaker 3: Kendrick g was there, A demo, was there, so many people,
Speaker 3: so many people were there, DJ precise and they donated
Speaker 3: they raised over one hundred thousand dollars. So those are
Speaker 3: the things that we try to do to give back
Speaker 3: to those universities, so to make sure that the students
Speaker 3: can have the scholarships that is as well needed. But
Speaker 3: get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
Speaker 3: one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit
Speaker 3: us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Speaker 3: Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: For Newday.
Speaker 1: Is it your time to get it off your chest?
Speaker 13: Whether you're mad or blessed something, get up and get something.
Speaker 6: Call up now.
Speaker 2: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We
Speaker 2: want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Hello. Who's this?
Speaker 5: It's at work Edwar Good morning, Get it off your chest.
Speaker 4: Good morning. I was calling because I'm still bless us
Speaker 4: to another day and be out free whatever. I had
Speaker 4: a road raised incident with this lady trying to run
Speaker 4: me off the road with even with our kids in
Speaker 4: a car, and I had a fire on shot at her,
Speaker 4: but then had a call of police and all that.
Speaker 2: Why you fire a shot at the lady.
Speaker 4: Because she was running me off the road.
Speaker 2: And what happened?
Speaker 1: When did they wrest you or did they drop the charges?
Speaker 4: Well, they actually trying to charge them with it at first,
Speaker 4: what aggravator saw the weapon? But I had witnesses on
Speaker 4: my side, but the case got dropped.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Now, I know they say for every reaction is equal
Speaker 1: and opposite reaction, and you can't tell somebody how to react,
Speaker 1: But I've never thought about that as self defense. But
Speaker 1: I guess it is right. If somebody's trying to run
Speaker 1: you off the road and you feel like your life
Speaker 1: is in danger, can you use or stand your ground
Speaker 1: type of mentality with that?
Speaker 6: But I feel like.
Speaker 3: It'd be hard to beat because I think most people
Speaker 3: will be like, well, you could stop the car.
Speaker 5: You ain't got to keep driving.
Speaker 3: You could just stop the car unless you feel threatened
Speaker 3: like they're you know, charging at you.
Speaker 2: But yeah, if she had pulled a gun on you.
Speaker 1: Then you would see it. But I can see that
Speaker 1: somebody like you could just stop the car.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah right. I wouldn't think I was gonna
Speaker 4: beat either. But even eighteen Whellow was trying to run
Speaker 4: her off the road at bad she was trying to
Speaker 4: swerve everybody.
Speaker 2: Off the road.
Speaker 4: I'm like, why would you put you even put your
Speaker 4: kids in danger like that?
Speaker 2: Hold on. So you saw the kids in the car
Speaker 2: with her?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the kids idential, Yeah, I know. I was trying
Speaker 4: to aim to it, like not that the kids, but
Speaker 4: just at the driving, try to throw her down or something,
Speaker 4: trying to but people just don't do what they want
Speaker 4: to do regardless. And she was laughing at the whole
Speaker 4: time like it didn't even matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not no lawyer, no law enforcement, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see how you win that kid. Who if
Speaker 1: you saw a car full of kids and you still
Speaker 1: fire a shot?
Speaker 2: I get it. I can't tell nobody how to react
Speaker 2: with man. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 14: Hello?

Speaker 15: going out ter Chrish and you know, everything's being good.
Speaker 15: And I eventually asked him what is it that he
Speaker 15: was working for them? And I got the impression that
Speaker 15: he was not trying to to be in something serious.
Speaker 15: So I'm like, okay, you no problem. As soon as
Speaker 15: the girl came, I told the waiter to split the check.
Speaker 15: He's like, oh, no, no, no, I'm gonna no, no, no, no.
Speaker 15: I pay for my own food and he pays for
Speaker 15: your own food. I don't want you to waste your
Speaker 15: money spending. I don't want you to waste your money
Speaker 15: spending on the girl that you don't want to be
Speaker 15: in a relationship with. And he was just looking at
Speaker 15: me my craziness. When I was doing too much. He
Speaker 15: took me home and then I pulled out more money
Speaker 15: to give.
Speaker 2: Him down money. What are you.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not saying that.
Speaker 15: I'm I'm not trying to say that I'm an independent woman.

Speaker 15: Don't sit there and say, oh, I want to sit

Speaker 1: don't know how old you are. You might be looking
Speaker 1: for something.
Speaker 15: Because I'm thirty two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're clearly looking for something more serious. So to you, yes,
Speaker 1: casual dating is a waste of time. But don't you
Speaker 1: have to casual date and ordering somebody to find somebody?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 15: Well I agree, I have to disagree. I just said that.
Speaker 15: It's trying to like. I feel like if you said
Speaker 15: that they want to go ahead of any casual date,
Speaker 15: I feel like they just don't know what they want.
Speaker 2: You can't be picking rings after the first dinner, baby,
Speaker 2: that's a lady. You can't pick rings after the first date.
Speaker 1: Like you know, you're gonna have to do some casual
Speaker 1: dating in order to find that person that you want

Speaker 5: Stop and yeah, yet you're absolutely right. That was cute.
Speaker 3: You put a young Dolph, you know, you had a
Speaker 3: little young Dolph rug. That was very cute. But we

Speaker 3: gonna charge somebody five hundred dollars to get in because
Speaker 3: I couldn't sleep with myself.
Speaker 2: There you bring it back in there you go.
Speaker 3: So what we do is we charge with people like
Speaker 3: me when I grew up and I couldn't afford certain things,
Speaker 3: and we were looking for that discount.
Speaker 5: That's why we start our prices.
Speaker 3: At nineteen ninety nine, because we want families to come.
Speaker 3: We want families to enjoy. Family can't pay five hundred dollars,
Speaker 3: and we get people from all over the country that
Speaker 3: come to our car shows.

Speaker 3: you go to Young Doll's page, Young Doll's page actually
Speaker 3: posted it and actually posted the museum and the car
Speaker 3: show rules. So when we talk about those things, when
Speaker 3: I ask you, is it quality over quantity?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have two hundred three hundred cars. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: absolute right. Most of them are trash.
Speaker 2: Their garbage.

Speaker 2: I don't have to.
Speaker 5: No, it's it's not.

Speaker 1: a tennis figure out the morning.
Speaker 5: Now, let's get right into the sports.
Speaker 3: The Nuggets beat the Lakers last night one of three
Speaker 3: day lead the series two and nothing.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 5: When I went to sleep, the Lakers were up about
Speaker 5: like ten or eleven, I thought, But when I woke up,
Speaker 5: it was all bad.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard for the Lakers to get about
Speaker 1: that whole. I got DIVI with winning it all, the
Speaker 1: whole NBA championship.
Speaker 3: But we'll see all right now X forty nine cent
Speaker 3: a threat to a congresswoman A congressman, I should say.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So California congressman is accusing a former San Francisco
Speaker 8: forty nine ers fullback of threats to execute him. California
Speaker 8: US Representative Eric Swalwell shared a message on social media
Speaker 8: from former NFL player Bruce Miller his social media account,
Speaker 8: which displayed the threatening content. It actually read almost time.
Speaker 8: Would you rather guatemalo or execution you?
Speaker 2: Trader?
Speaker 8: The threat was sent as a direct message to Swawell
Speaker 8: from Miller's social media account.
Speaker 7: He shared a screenshot of the threat.
Speaker 8: And asked people on this page, you know who is
Speaker 8: this guy threatening to execute me?
Speaker 7: And why does he have so many followers?
Speaker 8: And some of his followers immediately pointed out that Miller
Speaker 8: was an ex NFL player. They have allegedly turned a
Speaker 8: threat into the Capitol police.
Speaker 7: Do you know who that guy is?
Speaker 8: Do y'all follow forty nine ers or what have you
Speaker 8: ever heard of him?
Speaker 7: Bruce Miller?
Speaker 8: He was a seventh round pick by the forty nine
Speaker 8: ers in twenty eleven.
Speaker 7: He was released.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was released in twenty sixteen offseason after being
Speaker 8: charged with seven felamy after he allegedly assault to the
Speaker 8: seventy year old man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never heard of I'm a Giants fan. I
Speaker 3: don't really know much about the forty nine. Well, now
Speaker 3: let's go to La. Now, what's going on with this
Speaker 3: La strip? Was going with the La strippers?
Speaker 7: Now, Yeah, shout out to the lunch lady that called.
Speaker 8: My grandmother also was a lunch lady, So shout out
Speaker 8: to her that called about higher pay.
Speaker 7: And it looks like strippers in entertainment history.
Speaker 8: Fifteen months after attempting to unionize, dancers at the Los
Speaker 8: Angeles Gentlemen's Club are one step closer to becoming the
Speaker 8: first group of strippers to be recognized in a union.
Speaker 8: One of those things they were talking about was pay. Now,
Speaker 8: during the settlement hearing, the union club attorneys the lawyers
Speaker 8: representing management of the Star Garden topless dive bar in
Speaker 8: North Hollywood agreed to withdraw election challenges and recognize the union.
Speaker 7: They have thirty days to negotiate a new contract.
Speaker 8: Take a listen to some of the things that they
Speaker 8: are asking for, and we'll talk about on the other side.
Speaker 17: And they have finally agreed to recognize the union and
Speaker 17: the many issues that the dancers say they have, like compants,
Speaker 17: better security, and protection from sexual harassment.
Speaker 18: Our society upholds actors playing strippers and sex workers on
Speaker 18: stage and showing giving them the prestige and the protections
Speaker 18: and the union contracts, but we haven't stepped up for
Speaker 18: sex workers and strippers.
Speaker 2: I mean, it is a job, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It is a job that generates a lot of money
Speaker 1: and a lot of revenue.
Speaker 2: They have a lot of employees all across the world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but how do you unionize the strippers?
Speaker 3: So these make people throw a certain amount of money
Speaker 3: for them to get dolla because don't ships usually make
Speaker 3: their money off of people?
Speaker 1: I think, you know what, some clubs, regardless of how
Speaker 1: much you know, like let's say one individual scripper gets
Speaker 1: dollars throw on that. Some clubs, all the scrippers that
Speaker 1: at night put all the money together and they just
Speaker 1: split it.
Speaker 5: Even that's not fair.
Speaker 2: I've seen that happen before.
Speaker 5: That's not fair.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's there.
Speaker 7: I don't think that's fair.
Speaker 8: But in order to be a part of the union,
Speaker 8: they would have to pay dues, and they were a
Speaker 8: part of They've been basically admitted to a larger union
Speaker 8: that recognizes live in so characters people like that dance
Speaker 8: at Disney or stages or theaters, so they're putting them
Speaker 8: in there saying, hey, we perform as well, we provide entertainment,
Speaker 8: and we deserve to have contracts negotiated on our behalf.
Speaker 7: And I just want to point out one thing.
Speaker 8: Only one in ten American workers are now in a union,
Speaker 8: which is down nearly down quite a bit since the
Speaker 8: nineteen fifties. So this is a really, really big deal
Speaker 8: for strippers to be able to say we want to unionize.
Speaker 8: A lot of teachers haven't been able to get unions
Speaker 8: in their states.
Speaker 7: So this is really his.
Speaker 3: But I do think that's good if they give the
Speaker 3: strippers and the dances health coverage, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Because some of those strippers and dances have kids, so
Speaker 3: if they have health coverage, you're to trick it down
Speaker 3: to their kids so their kids can get shot and
Speaker 3: they don't have to come out of their pocket for those things.
Speaker 1: And some of them girls need to go see the
Speaker 1: gun coologists being there with stuff dripping out. David Giannas,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean a lot of discharges still love you.
Speaker 1: I'm just simply saying some of them women need money
Speaker 1: to go to the guanacologists too, because i mean, think
Speaker 1: about it. If what you're going to look at is
Speaker 1: their private party, you got to make sure those private partis.
Speaker 7: And check to BV is clear.
Speaker 5: I've never seen anything dripping.

Speaker 19: been loved. People come up to you, smack you in
Speaker 19: the airport. It's crazy, it's cracky, I know anywhere. It
Speaker 19: was in the airport lady had a baby, white lady.
Speaker 19: She was like, I love what youre doing. I appreciate it,
Speaker 19: but it just caught me, you know what I mean,
Speaker 19: off guard. But yeah, it's been Love's a lot of love.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I got that in I think gets smacked but
Speaker 13: stopped me. It was like, bro, I know you right,
Speaker 13: like you've you've been in Houston. I'm like, listen, I've
Speaker 13: never been using my life, so I know I've never
Speaker 13: met before, you know, and like it was it was
Speaker 13: definitely from the show, but you know it was.
Speaker 6: It was funny.
Speaker 2: It was like you start the character you played, way
Speaker 2: did he smack?
Speaker 6: You just tell us it was? It was on my arm?
Speaker 2: Okay, just making sure.
Speaker 1: Both season three actually yes, yeah, yeah, yes, it's been
Speaker 1: a next season. So the last two episodes are gonna
Speaker 1: be crazy and I have not watched even though they leaked.
Speaker 6: Appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Okay, how can y'all top with y'all done?
Speaker 13: I think you know the writers have you know, only
Speaker 13: gotten better. Brad really cares about the show, the showrunner
Speaker 13: and really takes care of us, and it's invested on
Speaker 13: making it new and exciting and truthful. I think that
Speaker 13: you know, you keep it truthful and you know it
Speaker 13: tops itself.
Speaker 19: I think m HM and a whole lot of drama.
Speaker 19: You know, Twitter loves drama, so I think they've been
Speaker 19: doing a great.
Speaker 6: Job with it.
Speaker 1: You've been in love the whole damn season. I know, man,
Speaker 1: how that go from being a gangster? You're still a gangster,
Speaker 1: but you're in love now.
Speaker 6: On the show, being in love is kind of boring
Speaker 6: to me?
Speaker 5: Is it boring?
Speaker 6: I'm like, man, I'm ready.
Speaker 19: To catch your body. It's crazy, horrible, right, It's a
Speaker 19: horrible way to think. But that show has definitely altered
Speaker 19: my mind to think like that.
Speaker 6: It's weird. It's like, man, I love scene, Like, man,
Speaker 6: when do I pop somebody?
Speaker 3: But I was going to ask, how does that change
Speaker 3: your character? Because now you're into this, right, you want
Speaker 3: to pop somebody? So now, wow, if somebody says something,
Speaker 3: do you think, like, are you still in character?
Speaker 6: Like what you say?
Speaker 5: Are you still like that? Or do you get out
Speaker 5: of character?
Speaker 4: Nah?
Speaker 6: Get out of character? I get out of character.
Speaker 19: But it depends if I'm with my family, I'm still
Speaker 19: in it a little bit, because you know, people don't
Speaker 19: really respect boundaries, nay, And because we're on TV, we're
Speaker 19: no longer human, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: I just feel like everybody treat just like an item.
Speaker 19: So it's like I'm always like just thinking about those
Speaker 19: things and making sure my family is straight.
Speaker 6: While I'm outside. But it's always been loved though.
Speaker 3: And it has to be different, right because because of
Speaker 3: the characters that you played, you have like very different demographics.
Speaker 3: Like you have the young people that might follow this,
Speaker 3: but then you have the older people that love you
Speaker 3: and this.
Speaker 5: So how does that work?
Speaker 6: No, it's for me.
Speaker 19: I know, like I've been to like the hoodies of
Speaker 19: the hoods and people like yo, that's you me up there,
Speaker 19: Like I appreciate that.
Speaker 6: I'm like, thank you.
Speaker 1: So I always say, call the police, tell you that
Speaker 1: he relate the character King that's me.
Speaker 5: A demographics love you, and the younger demographics love you.
Speaker 2: I mean the older God, you got your.
Speaker 5: Aunties and grandma's.
Speaker 2: That know them.
Speaker 3: For new addition, that's your different type of love. But
Speaker 3: then you got homies from the corner that look at
Speaker 3: him differently.
Speaker 1: So that's interesting, I thought, I thought, because I thought
Speaker 1: that there was a young demo that watched The Bobby
Speaker 1: Brown Story New Edition too.
Speaker 2: I feel like that introduced them to a new audience.
Speaker 6: No, absolutely, for sure, I agree. I agree, Yeah, because
Speaker 6: my kids loved it.
Speaker 19: The kids call me Bobby Brown, you Bobby like bro,
Speaker 19: and you get tired of that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: I feel like I can't trump Bobby though, No, yes,
Speaker 1: man right now and the culture.
Speaker 2: I don't know, bro, but I've seen him in the hall.
Speaker 5: The first thing I thought it was Bobby. I was like,
Speaker 5: that's what I thought, man.
Speaker 19: But I mean no, I mean I was just watching
Speaker 19: the fight and it was just white guy. He was like, Yo,
Speaker 19: Cain and the but he was like, I'm like, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Sound like a little flirt right there.
Speaker 16: I was.
Speaker 6: I don't know New York, so nobody really tripped on it.
Speaker 6: It was crazy. Would different.
Speaker 1: Power One of them shows that the culture really gets
Speaker 1: involved all the mee.
Speaker 2: When it's on, everybody tweeting about it.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like a family gathering, and then people
Speaker 1: talking about what happened, you know, that night on social
Speaker 1: media afterwards. People care about y'all personal lives.
Speaker 2: Like that's rare. Everybody don't get that, you know, And.
Speaker 13: I think it's it's an important thing, you know, to
Speaker 13: separate the character from the from the from the actor.
Speaker 6: You know, like we watched like Daniel l Lewis. We
Speaker 6: don't think like he's, you know, built a butcher and
Speaker 6: you know, what's his name? Daniel Daniel playing View.
Speaker 13: You know, we just look at him like that's a
Speaker 13: that's a really dope artist, right, And I think like
Speaker 13: you playing Bobby Brown, you're playing Kane, like that's a
Speaker 13: testament to your artistry.
Speaker 6: I appreciate that, bro.
Speaker 1: But you know, you do a fantastic You do a
Speaker 1: fantastic job playing Drew. And the crazy part is everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: is he really you know, really gay? And I'm like
Speaker 1: does it matter? You know what I'm saying, like, what
Speaker 1: do the matter? If Lavelle was like.
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 2: What does it matter?
Speaker 13: I don't think it does matter, you know. I think that,
Speaker 13: you know, like it's important to separate those things, you know,
Speaker 13: important to separate the personal from the work, because I
Speaker 13: have to be able to play everything as an artist,
Speaker 13: you know, that's our our job is to tell the
Speaker 13: story and tell it as truthfully as possible. You know,
Speaker 13: like if I was playing you know your life story, right,
Speaker 13: and you watched it and go like, you're not You're
Speaker 13: not telling the truth. I'm doing you a disservice if
Speaker 13: you're playing me.
Speaker 20: Some people saying no, no, when you see in the script,
Speaker 20: was there any doubts like Wow, maybe I don't want
Speaker 20: to play that, or it was like, no, I'm an
Speaker 20: actor and this is what I'm gonna do, regardless.
Speaker 5: Of what people.
Speaker 6: That's what it was.
Speaker 13: Man, I'm an actor, you know, and I have to
Speaker 13: tell the truth. And if I'm not telling the truth
Speaker 13: as an artist, then get me out the show, you
Speaker 13: know what I mean. Like, if I'm not going, if
Speaker 13: I'm not committing one hundred percent, then I don't deserve
Speaker 13: the part.
Speaker 6: And that's just how I see it.
Speaker 13: Like, you know what, regardless of whatever part it is,
Speaker 13: whatever role it is, it's like if you're putting in
Speaker 13: the work, investigating in yourself and trying to tell the truth,
Speaker 13: and you know you deserve to be on that platform
Speaker 13: and tell that story.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting social experiment though. Whenever there's a love
Speaker 1: making scene between a man and a woman, nobody cares.
Speaker 1: But we see it pop up on Power or one
Speaker 1: of those other shows, everybody's up in arms. Ah, Man,
Speaker 1: I can't watch this, man, I'm not I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: starts they don't stop doing this.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna watch. But I'm like our people be like,
Speaker 2: why why do nobody ever asked that? What's men and women?
Speaker 13: You know, you know, I think, you know, if we're
Speaker 13: talking about the first first uh power power, Amari Hardwick
Speaker 13: and Laila Leela look really good together though, you know,
Speaker 13: like like the back muscles and everything like that, So
Speaker 13: I understand, like, you know, the the aesthetic is what
Speaker 13: we're used to, and we're not used to seeing queer
Speaker 13: love making on, especially on a mainstream show like this, and.
Speaker 5: But real life and it happens.
Speaker 6: Its real life, and it happens.
Speaker 13: And I think my biggest thing was like I haven't
Speaker 13: gotten the back yet, like Mike Hardway's back. I haven't
Speaker 13: gotten that like physical physical like strength, because you know
Speaker 13: what I mean, Like I just turned thirty one, So
Speaker 13: I'm like, i got to like get my man meat on.
Speaker 4: But I'm.
Speaker 6: Not like that like that you practice.
Speaker 13: He's I'm talking about you need your man your man
Speaker 13: body and like and so like that's that's whenever I
Speaker 13: have those scenes, I'm like, I want to make sure
Speaker 13: I look as good as possible. I want to make
Speaker 13: you know what I mean, I want to look good.
Speaker 13: And that's you know the same thing with Kane, Like
Speaker 13: you want to make sure he looks.
Speaker 6: Good, said the bar. So I remember reading the tweets.
Speaker 19: Somebody was like, Kane looks like a college dropout kid
Speaker 19: that just play Call of Duty and I was like, damn,
Speaker 19: I need to get in the gym.
Speaker 6: Oh for sure, that's all I think.
Speaker 19: I hear that in my ears while I'm like, you
Speaker 19: know what I mean when I'm like running out of energy,
Speaker 19: I just hear him saying, like college drop out body,
Speaker 19: I'm going crazy.
Speaker 3: When we come back, we got more with the to
Speaker 3: HOA Brothers from Power you know what, he McLain and Lavell,
Speaker 3: So don't move.
Speaker 2: It's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Good morning phoning everybody and see say Envy Charlamagne the
Speaker 3: God we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it
Speaker 3: with how the Brothers from Power you know Whatdy McLean
Speaker 3: and Lavelle Adams, Gray Charlamagne.
Speaker 1: Does social media bother y'all Like when y'all read comments?
Speaker 1: Does the impact? How y'all approach the roles and everything?
Speaker 6: For me personally?
Speaker 19: Not because I come I come from social media and
Speaker 19: I just used to say that didn't even really old tweets.
Speaker 19: You're right, but that's where I was at though, Like
Speaker 19: that's the space I was in. I just wanted to
Speaker 19: get a reaction. That's what Twitter was for. It's like
Speaker 19: to see how many retweets and how many like you get,
Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So now I look at it,
Speaker 19: it's like that's just somebody just trying to get attention.
Speaker 6: But it don't bother me though not.
Speaker 13: And you gotta be careful, uh, coming from the I
Speaker 13: come from theater a little bit, and and we learned
Speaker 13: really quickly not to like you can't read everything every night,
Speaker 13: you know, because it it affects your work. So I
Speaker 13: come from that like where it comes like, you know,
Speaker 13: I'm not reading everything all the time. Like I kind
Speaker 13: of just post or whatever and it's go buy my business.
Speaker 3: We had a Mari up here last year, maybe two
Speaker 3: years ago, and I asked him with Charlamonne, and I
Speaker 3: asked him about the character.
Speaker 1: Was he ever fearful that he was gonna be stuck
Speaker 1: in that character?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: And you know he was a little upset about it
Speaker 3: because he said he's an actor. But sometimes people see
Speaker 3: Omar as ghosts, you know, sometimes they see you as Bobby.
Speaker 1: Do you ever fear full of roles you take to
Speaker 1: be stuck in that character?
Speaker 6: No God will provide there, it is I agree, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean.
Speaker 13: You know, like it's it's it's a scarcity mindset to
Speaker 13: think that way, I think, But.
Speaker 3: It happens to people like look at Steve, he's Steve Verkle.
Speaker 3: You look at the guy that plays I can't remember
Speaker 3: the brother's name. He played Chris Rock and everybody here's Chris.
Speaker 3: He's always looked at that. You know, I don't just
Speaker 3: want to go to.
Speaker 7: See him as that Lettle Boy isn't.
Speaker 2: Not a blessing.
Speaker 6: I think it is.
Speaker 13: You know, it stands the test of time, and you know,
Speaker 13: we leave that legacy for sure.
Speaker 6: I think it does. You know, but.
Speaker 13: Actors to be transcendent right and be able to disappear
Speaker 13: in the roles. And I think a part of that
Speaker 13: is the onus on the actor to like switch it
Speaker 13: up a little bit and try something different and never
Speaker 13: let themselves get hold one thing. But I think being
Speaker 13: scared of that brings it on too, you know what
Speaker 13: I mean.
Speaker 3: Do you ever feel a way, you know, because you
Speaker 3: are a theater actor actor, so you've been through the course,
Speaker 3: you've been through the classes, and then you see somebody
Speaker 3: that might be you know, a social media person that
Speaker 3: gets a roll because they are social media. Does that
Speaker 3: ever make you feel a way like they didn't get
Speaker 3: their chops were they didn't do the proper training that
Speaker 3: you've been through.
Speaker 5: Does that ever make you feel away?
Speaker 13: If I'm be honest, whenever I get whenever that comes
Speaker 13: up for me and I get tight like that, I'm like, well,
Speaker 13: just my ego, Like that's me, you know, that's me
Speaker 13: because I didn't get that part or I didn't do it,
Speaker 13: you know what I mean? But like what's for you?
Speaker 13: It is meant to be for you, right, you know,
Speaker 13: so that I remind myself of that and and then
Speaker 13: you know, goes away. But like and it's it's like
Speaker 13: acting is always going to change mediums and always going
Speaker 13: to evolve.
Speaker 6: And that's the point.
Speaker 13: If you don't evolve with it, then you're gonna get
Speaker 13: left behind.
Speaker 19: I come from social media, so I slew anybody that
Speaker 19: comes from social media, you know, I like it.
Speaker 1: Just taking question was that the question I was saying.
Speaker 3: Social media to does it ever make you feel the
Speaker 3: way where it feels like people you know, they always
Speaker 3: say people skip the line, right, so that they didn't
Speaker 3: you know, take the acting classes and the acting lessons.
Speaker 19: That's what I'm saying, I come from the people that
Speaker 19: didn't take acting classes that you know, straight from social media. Like,
Speaker 19: so I don't I don't take it no way. Now,
Speaker 19: I just took it seriously.
Speaker 5: You got to skip the line.
Speaker 6: I did skip the line, but then I took it
Speaker 6: very very serious.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I because a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just right.
Speaker 21: Like the comedians, like they can't do the stage. They
Speaker 21: can do the the social media stuff all day post,
Speaker 21: but when it comes to that stage, it's totally different.
Speaker 21: And they don't want to get in their room, you know,
Speaker 21: go to the open mics and stuff.
Speaker 22: They don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: They too good for them, but horrible.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the stage.
Speaker 13: You got somebody personally in there, a couple of people.
Speaker 21: Now I'm a stand up comedian, so I just see
Speaker 21: the new wave, and it is the new wave. But well,
Speaker 21: somebody like me and who've been doing it for so long,
Speaker 21: you start seeing stuff. At first, I was acting like
Speaker 21: Semih Jackson at first, you know what I'm saying, how
Speaker 21: he was with the people taking the acting gigs. I
Speaker 21: was like, hold on, now they ain't even But I
Speaker 21: had to sit back and get in Yo Mo and
Speaker 21: be like, holo, what God God for me is for me?
Speaker 7: They passed in my path, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: So this is my journey.
Speaker 21: So I got to stay on my own germs less
Speaker 21: and understand why I'm in my position and be patient.
Speaker 7: See, and that's why I'm here today.
Speaker 1: Exactly Ken killing each other over f you man, that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. That's gonna mess up the business in some way,
Speaker 1: shape or form.
Speaker 6: Damn.
Speaker 19: I don't even know if I can talk about that.
Speaker 19: I don't know, though I can see it happening. Okay,
Speaker 19: I can see happening. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
Speaker 19: good suggestion. Yeah yeah, I can't talk with I can't.
Speaker 5: I won't get in trouble.
Speaker 1: Right well, I mean, as you, why is Drew not
Speaker 1: allowed to have love? Seems like you lose every guy
Speaker 1: that you started off healing.
Speaker 13: I think it's because it's the reality of the you know,
Speaker 13: the game where right, And I feel like, you know,
Speaker 13: with Gordo, you found somebody that you felt like you
Speaker 13: could you know, who could he could see all of
Speaker 13: him and recognize all of him at the same time.
Speaker 6: It's like it started off with lies.
Speaker 13: Right, like I killed his pops or we killed his pops.
Speaker 13: So it's like if I can't tell you that truth,
Speaker 13: then we're already our foundation is shaky anyway, you know.
Speaker 13: So I think you know, God willn't going forward, Drew
Speaker 13: will find some love, somebody that you know can resonate
Speaker 13: with him in that way. They just don't have to
Speaker 13: hide himself from But until then, to be about your
Speaker 13: bread man.
Speaker 5: It is how's how's working with Mary?
Speaker 6: Beautiful man? Mary so cool, she's so chill.
Speaker 13: We have so many moments and memories with Mary and
Speaker 13: my I think my favorite one is, you know, first
Speaker 13: day table reading. You know, it's funny they don't tell
Speaker 13: actors of this lot. It's always like you know, like
Speaker 13: well you just get into space and like, yeah, you
Speaker 13: know I belong there and I already already been there,
Speaker 13: so you know I got to act like and whatever whatever.
Speaker 13: You know, that tension, shoulder tension comes up, you know
Speaker 13: what I mean? Like no, like when I got to
Speaker 13: the table read, I was like, I've never been here before,
Speaker 13: and I've never been face to face with Mary J.
Speaker 2: Blige.
Speaker 13: Before you know what she did, She broke the ice
Speaker 13: with a funny ass story.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 13: She she she brought us in as her kids off rip,
Speaker 13: and that to me like taught me, like God will
Speaker 13: and I get to that place where I can people
Speaker 13: look at me in that way that I can be like,
Speaker 13: oh no, I's chill, like you know what.
Speaker 6: I mean, because that really helped me out.
Speaker 1: How did she bring you all? What was the joke
Speaker 1: that brought y'all in? You said, because she said she
Speaker 1: brought you in her kids.
Speaker 6: Well, she told us like it was a story.
Speaker 13: I told her that, like my dad's from Jamaica, right,
Speaker 13: and she was like, oh, I'm never going to Daica again,
Speaker 13: Like I'm never bring nobody to Jaica because like it's
Speaker 13: drama and it's just.
Speaker 6: The way that she just related to us.
Speaker 13: You would think that, like I guess the perspective of
Speaker 13: someone up that high stature is that like you have
Speaker 13: to go to them.
Speaker 2: But I felt like she came down and came and
Speaker 2: gave it's.
Speaker 13: A story that was like we all had us laughing,
Speaker 13: and it was like, well, thanks for sharing that, you know,
Speaker 13: with with us and and really brought us in, and
Speaker 13: so it just just made it so easy, you know,
Speaker 13: you know, we get to do these scenes and she's
Speaker 13: so generous as a as a scene partner, and we
Speaker 13: get to like really go and play with it. Just
Speaker 13: so many fun ideas and just really cares about Monette
Speaker 13: and says like listen, man when they is from here.
Speaker 13: So she's not going to do it like that. She's
Speaker 13: gonna do it like this, and like she being her.
Speaker 6: Producer, you know. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 13: When we did the dinner table not super iconic dinner
Speaker 13: table scene, you know, it was her idea to be
Speaker 13: like listen, like, we gotta get it elevated, right, She said,
Speaker 13: we have to elevate this thing because she's not gonna
Speaker 13: have her daughter talk to her no type of way
Speaker 13: and not snatch her across the table and have it
Speaker 13: beat this big moment real you know. And it came
Speaker 13: alive because of that. I learned so much as an
Speaker 13: actor because of that.
Speaker 1: So what's gonna hapen when y'all got to hate her?
Speaker 1: Because eventually y'all gonna find out that she the one
Speaker 1: who said Lorenzo up. I mean, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, like you're gonna have to you're gonna hate
Speaker 1: it then comes out this weekend, We're.
Speaker 19: Gonna see, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's this week Friday. Yeah,
Speaker 19: we're gonna find out all that stuff. But yeah, are
Speaker 19: you happy?
Speaker 2: Lorenzo days? Poppy no more?
Speaker 6: I said Poppy like that. I never I never knew
Speaker 6: how to say it for real, like I didn't.
Speaker 19: It didn't roll off my tongue like that, so I
Speaker 19: kind of eliminated the poppies out of my vocabulary.
Speaker 6: You just saw, Yeah, did it roll off?
Speaker 19: Right?
Speaker 7: Yes, you said Poppy said it?
Speaker 21: Really?
Speaker 13: I think I think you know bertil Coloone who plays
Speaker 13: Lorenzo amazing. I miss him man sometimes, you know, he's uh,
Speaker 13: he's a masterclass too, you know, and I love him
Speaker 13: being there. He just holds it down in such a
Speaker 13: grounding energy. So as Level, I'm like, damn, you know,
Speaker 13: he's gone. But as Drew, I think Drew's also like
Speaker 13: damn he's gone. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, we got more with
Speaker 3: the Taha Brothers from Power.
Speaker 5: You know what, he McLain and Level, So don't move.
Speaker 5: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 16: J n V.
Speaker 1: Charlamage the guy. We all the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: We're still kicking it with the Taha Brothers from Power.
Speaker 3: Willie McClain and Lavell Adams Gray. Now we take this. Yesterday,
Speaker 3: Erica Dutchess, our co host, was here.
Speaker 13: Erica, you're married, I'm engaged.
Speaker 21: You engaged, Okay, So how do your fiance feel about
Speaker 21: your your love scenes and stuff like that.
Speaker 13: You know, she's she's the same way she comes from,
Speaker 13: uh you know that that place of like, if you're
Speaker 13: gonna do it, do it right kind of thing. So
Speaker 13: she she's a big fan of the show, and she
Speaker 13: loves watching the show. She has a great heart and
Speaker 13: a great empathetic capacity. So she watched watches Drew or
Speaker 13: anybody going through it. She's just like, wow, like this
Speaker 13: is a every time I watch it. So I'm watching
Speaker 13: it being like I know what we did, I know
Speaker 13: what's happening. And she's like, Wow, this show like surprises
Speaker 13: me every time. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 3: This is this and this is it hard to watch
Speaker 3: it with her, it's any love scene because it's hard
Speaker 3: to watch it with.
Speaker 13: Her because she's sometimes around her in the table reads
Speaker 13: and so she's like privy the information and she's like, oh,
Speaker 13: so that's what you guys were talking about.
Speaker 6: Oh I didn't you know. But terms of like.
Speaker 13: Content stuff, and you know it's not it's not hard watching,
Speaker 13: you know, because she's also done love scenes, and.
Speaker 1: How do you feel you see her do a love season.
Speaker 1: It's take some getting.
Speaker 2: Muscles.
Speaker 1: You got that man meet on his back like that.
Speaker 6: Jesus.
Speaker 5: But yeah, but how did that make you feel?
Speaker 13: You know, she just did this film called Perfect Addiction.
Speaker 13: It just came out and in it she plays an
Speaker 13: MM a fighter and trainer and she had to be
Speaker 13: with these six two six three, you know, getting swollen
Speaker 13: bees for the role and coming in and you know
Speaker 13: she was love interest to both of them, and I'm
Speaker 13: having to sit there being like, it's just fine, It's just.
Speaker 6: Fine, you know.
Speaker 2: You know, but you go back with your chance.
Speaker 13: Yeah, listen, every time she goes somewhere to work on
Speaker 13: the job, but she's like, there's a time apart.
Speaker 6: I'm in the gym.
Speaker 13: I go crazy in the jam because when you come back,
Speaker 13: you don't see me looking different than when you left.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 1: You know, they ask you, do you get flacked from
Speaker 1: like actual gay actors who feel like that role should
Speaker 1: go to actual gay.
Speaker 5: Like you took my role.
Speaker 13: That's a good question. No, Yeah, I get a lot
Speaker 13: of love a lot of like a lot of uh
Speaker 13: support comes from other queer actors, you know, and I
Speaker 13: get a lot of love.
Speaker 1: But I would think that's a ridiculous conversation to have
Speaker 1: because if a gay person plays a great persons because
Speaker 1: they got the ROC, they're a good actor.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: If you're good at what you do, you get at
Speaker 2: what you do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you got? Everybody hitting my damn phone?
Speaker 2: Was kind of excited. I ain't got lie no.
Speaker 5: What he tagged me on something people hit me.
Speaker 1: The reason I got excited because I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it might you know, it might be some bread and
Speaker 1: what he was like explighting the post what he said.
Speaker 1: He posted, I want to do a season for now
Speaker 1: watch party in South Carolina, but I need to see
Speaker 1: the God to host it with me.
Speaker 2: He said, who in South Carolina would pull up?
Speaker 1: And got like twenty six hundred comments, and then people
Speaker 1: started making actual posts about it, like this needs to happen,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm winning it. I you got to
Speaker 1: find a place to do it. You know, we used
Speaker 1: to the house party, vie. I mean, what do you
Speaker 1: party together?
Speaker 6: He was in the house.
Speaker 2: You can't do it in the house.
Speaker 5: You can't can't bring all those people to your house.
Speaker 6: I can't do that.
Speaker 2: You got to figure out where to do it. I
Speaker 2: don't know. And do we charge people, Yes, that's the
Speaker 2: that's the hard part.
Speaker 3: Charge people because if not, it's got to be limited space.
Speaker 3: If not, everybody's gonna be there, gonna be too packed.
Speaker 5: You want limited space. You want people to be.
Speaker 6: Able to see. Yeah, so you charge people, but then
Speaker 6: have like an open bar.
Speaker 2: Have an open.
Speaker 3: So they have a good time and some food. But
Speaker 3: that way you have sections so people can actually watch.
Speaker 3: You don't want a two pack where you can't enjoy
Speaker 3: and scream and yell and all.
Speaker 1: You can do it at the museum American Museum. You
Speaker 1: have to bring some TVs in and cable if they
Speaker 1: got it and it's.
Speaker 7: Six, right, we got a couple of more day we can.
Speaker 2: We got time though, we make you figure it out.
Speaker 6: I have fun there, museum.
Speaker 5: The pay is not really for you.
Speaker 3: It's more to make sure people are gonna come, because
Speaker 3: everybody on RZP I'm coming, and then to be rainy
Speaker 3: like I ain't coming to the ring. I mean, but
Speaker 3: you want people that it's gonna come, enjoy and have
Speaker 3: a great time.
Speaker 1: But then once again that's the testament to how big
Speaker 1: power is in the coach. I'm telling you show all
Speaker 1: shows don't get that cultural reverence the way they let.
Speaker 19: Us host post stuff like rappers. I'm like at a
Speaker 19: host and I'm like, I ain't got no songs. I
Speaker 19: don't know what you'all want to do, so I just
Speaker 19: take pictures.
Speaker 6: They would give me the mic.
Speaker 19: I'm like, I don't know what y'all want me to say,
Speaker 19: Like I ain't got no no bars or nothing.
Speaker 2: For nobody does shows lead? Yes, okay, I was tight?
Speaker 1: Is that the true lead? Because they said that it
Speaker 1: might not be the true shows?
Speaker 13: Well, no, I think I think it was like some
Speaker 13: like fake poor quality stuff.
Speaker 6: I didn't see it.
Speaker 13: But man, like it's like like a rapper, like you
Speaker 13: always tight when your and then like who did it?
Speaker 6: Like it has to be somebody in your camp?
Speaker 2: Right? And why is it only power shows that the
Speaker 2: artist with nobody?
Speaker 3: People just can't that much like other things leak that
Speaker 3: we just don't think about, but people care about this.
Speaker 13: That's I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 13: about it, But like I appreciate the fans who like
Speaker 13: stuck it out and like, are gonna watch it again,
Speaker 13: you know and see it because they deserve to be
Speaker 13: seen in the right way.
Speaker 1: When with this love triangle, Tyreek got going on, right,
Speaker 1: Who would y'all rather see him end up with Fie,
Speaker 1: Lauren or Diane?
Speaker 13: Speaking as a well, I'd rather see him with Diana
Speaker 13: really yeah, speaking.
Speaker 19: Yeah, speaking as speaking as woody, as woody, as woody
Speaker 19: Diana as.
Speaker 13: Well as really yeah, yeah, Drew don't want to treak
Speaker 13: nowhere around absolutely, you know. But as well, like this,
Speaker 13: they make a good pair. You know, they're both very intelligent,
Speaker 13: and they both move around the business really well, and
Speaker 13: they could actually like make a great like if they
Speaker 13: came together like that, they can make a good, good team.
Speaker 2: But then the brothers might have to kill him.
Speaker 6: Yeah it's not Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: Did you feel bad for Saxon when he got killed?
Speaker 6: Hell?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Shane is so dope, man, He's so incredible. He's the
Speaker 19: O G Well, I think he's been there for like
Speaker 19: nine years, and I think it caught everybody by surprise.
Speaker 19: I don't read the whole script until we get to
Speaker 19: the table. That's really kind of my section. So when
Speaker 19: I heard it for the first time. It definitely was
Speaker 19: like one of those emotional emotional things.
Speaker 1: Damn, I don't even think about it. I'm sitting it
Speaker 1: thinking about it. From the character of perspective, the people
Speaker 1: that's not gonna have no work no more.
Speaker 13: Well no, see, that's the thing. Like Shane is such
Speaker 13: an amazing actor that he's working, he's working. He's an artist,
Speaker 13: Like he's an artist with him with ambition and with
Speaker 13: with drive, you know. And that's the one thing I
Speaker 13: always say about about actors, about artists specifically, like you
Speaker 13: don't we can make whatever we want to make whenever
Speaker 13: we want to make it, like now, depending on how
Speaker 13: much money you have, and like if you want to
Speaker 13: get butts and seats, that's another thing. But like art
Speaker 13: is there. You can just make it, you know. And
Speaker 13: for shaying he doesn't have to worry about like lack
Speaker 13: and you know, but you know he'll always.
Speaker 6: Be a thriving artist because he's a beautiful actor.
Speaker 3: Y'all have a nervous that that you're going to read
Speaker 3: a script and it's like what else think, like please
Speaker 3: don't give me on, Please don't give don't give me on.
Speaker 1: Y'all ever feel that way? When you when y'all pick
Speaker 1: up a script that was.
Speaker 6: Me season one, two three by his house, like now
Speaker 6: you buying?
Speaker 19: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I think for the same like
Speaker 19: the first season it was like that. But after the
Speaker 19: first season, whatever makes sense for the character, the character.
Speaker 6: Gotta go, he gotta go. That's how I felt.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I just when they when they you know,
Speaker 13: when they do decide to if they do decide to
Speaker 13: do that with Drew, that like it's a it's like iconic,
Speaker 13: like I wanted.
Speaker 1: To cat to kill you or I don't know about that.
Speaker 6: That's heartbreaking, but I got you.
Speaker 13: I always want to be like I said, I don't
Speaker 13: want to be the black Shawn Bean and like dying
Speaker 13: on it. So if it's gonna happen, like it needs
Speaker 13: to be happening, like you know some like dope slow
Speaker 13: motion kind of like you know, something dope, something dope.
Speaker 13: But I won't speak that out, you know, six seven eight.
Speaker 1: And is that a real beef between the Power Team
Speaker 1: and the b MF actors? Like is that real social
Speaker 1: media is between Uh?
Speaker 6: I don't think so. I might be that might be
Speaker 6: Twitter fingers. Yeah, I hope so, because like we.
Speaker 13: You know, we're all black and we're all getting it,
Speaker 13: and I love that.
Speaker 6: I'd love to see that. So I think that's what
Speaker 6: it is.
Speaker 2: Y'all participate in that though you usually do that play
Speaker 2: too Rikan meet.
Speaker 7: What am I do?
Speaker 6: I don't participate be doing it. I'll be in the gym.

Speaker 2: You know what you will be? You want to do
Speaker 2: it from?

Speaker 2: me sing.
Speaker 3: Everybody and ceej n V Charlamage the guy. We are

Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we're on the Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 1: is where the tea.
Speaker 2: Spells right, yes, on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Now our very own Charlemagne to God. You know he
Speaker 3: has this late night show Hell of a Week. Well,
Speaker 3: it seems like it was lawn September twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: and now it's saying that the show has been canceled.
Speaker 5: Really, now that's what they're saying.
Speaker 3: It's saying that Stephen Colbert's executive produced Tuning Out the
Speaker 3: News in Hell of a Week with Charlemagne has been
Speaker 3: canceled at Comedy Central.
Speaker 1: Listen, man, I'm never sad that it's over. I'm more
Speaker 1: grateful that it happened. Okay, I have a goal for TV,
Speaker 1: and because of this show, I'm closer to my goal.
Speaker 1: So I'm forever grateful. Foot to my guy Chris McCarthy
Speaker 1: in Paramount. They always take care of us. The only
Speaker 1: thing that ever disappoints me about stuff like this is
Speaker 1: all the jobs a show like this provider created, especially
Speaker 1: the black and brown people, because that was the majority
Speaker 1: of our staff. So that's the only thing I'm ever
Speaker 1: disappointed about when stuff like this happened.
Speaker 2: Other than that.
Speaker 1: Onward and you're still screaming on Paramount plus the first
Speaker 1: two seasons The God's Honest Truth and Hell of a Week.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask, but you know, even if
Speaker 3: if it was a cancel, how was the show going
Speaker 3: to continue?
Speaker 5: Because with the riders strike, right, was it able? Would
Speaker 5: it be able to come in?
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons, like the businesses didn't influx
Speaker 1: right now, gotcha?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Here's a lot of things going on in Hollywood, and
Speaker 1: there's a million shows being canceled across various platforms. And
Speaker 1: you were supposed to host a daily show coming up,
Speaker 1: but because of the writers writers Creak can't do the
Speaker 1: Daily Show either.
Speaker 16: Da.
Speaker 2: But when the writers strike is over, though, I'll.
Speaker 1: Definitely be hosting the Daily Show, all right, well for
Speaker 1: a week, for a week, guess hosting the Daily Show?
Speaker 5: All right? Well, we got to congratulate Ludacris.
Speaker 3: Ludacris received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star yesterday.
Speaker 1: Very well deserved, very well deserved.
Speaker 3: I mean from you know, number one records to platinum
Speaker 3: albums to movies. So it's very very very well deserved.
Speaker 3: He was there with Queen Latifa, tyrese Vin Diesel, ll
Speaker 3: cool J, and of course his wife.
Speaker 2: Soon they He didn't let tyrespe. I didn't see Tyree speak.
Speaker 1: I think I seen LL speak. I see Vin Diesel.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's I respoke.
Speaker 5: Please, this is man.
Speaker 1: If I would have spoke, we would have known it
Speaker 1: had been in room report. You're right, it'd have made
Speaker 1: it about him in some way shape or for you.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: And lastly, people are mad at Jeanie my now you know,
Speaker 3: of course her and Jez have been married about two
Speaker 3: years now. So she said that her daughter was by
Speaker 3: Illingo and this is what she said.
Speaker 14: And I think the best thing is learning how to
Speaker 14: really teach her how to own who she is. You know,
Speaker 14: that's the beautiful blend of being black and Vietnamese, and
Speaker 14: I want her to really understand what that means as
Speaker 14: a powerful woman today.
Speaker 23: Yeah, are you guys ceasing to know about your coaching, yes,
Speaker 23: big time.
Speaker 22: Yeah.
Speaker 14: We try to have her spend time with her southern
Speaker 14: grandparents in Atlanta all the time in Georgia, and then
Speaker 14: she goes down to the Bay and she spends time
Speaker 14: with my Vietnamese grandparents all the time, so she understands
Speaker 14: both sides. And I only speak Vietnamese to her, and
Speaker 14: then Dad only speaks the South Tour. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so people were upset at that.
Speaker 1: People just don't like Genny Ma Genie Mar, and I
Speaker 1: want everybody to just come to the term, come to
Speaker 1: grips with with the fact y'all just don't like Genie Ma.
Speaker 1: They don't like Genie Mar. They don't like the fact
Speaker 1: that Genie Mind and Gezia together. Correct, they don't like
Speaker 1: they're getting their doctor umar on, and they don't like
Speaker 1: that interracial relationship. But I don't think it's because that
Speaker 1: wasn't that upset and egregious for people to be mad at.
Speaker 3: What I think is, do you have the clip what
Speaker 3: she said a while ago? See what I'm saying, But
Speaker 3: that's what that's what they're mad exactly.
Speaker 1: The reason why because I didn't every since I bought
Speaker 1: up this clip right here, in regards to why they
Speaker 1: don't like Genie Ma, you have the clip, Oh you
Speaker 1: don't have the clip.
Speaker 5: Well, but you know.
Speaker 2: It's the clip about you don't. I'm not even gonna repeat.
Speaker 3: It now I was gonna repeat it, but yeah, people
Speaker 3: are mad about that. They said, you know, it's not
Speaker 3: speaking South, it's speaking English. So people were very upset
Speaker 3: about that. It was like, I'm from the South, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. It's certain people you can hear
Speaker 3: and you'd be like, what part of the.
Speaker 1: South you're from? That's not insulting. Now you've a part
Speaker 1: of this off you from I'm from Atlanta. What part
Speaker 1: of this off you from out to South Carolina? Because
Speaker 1: those are very distinct. Uh, you know the ways of
Speaker 1: speaking right the Geechee, Gulla and Charlton, South Carolina. When
Speaker 1: Erica Duchess was up here the last two days and
Speaker 1: hear somebody like DC young fly, you know when you're
Speaker 1: talking to somebody from Atlanta, but you know when you're
Speaker 1: talking to somebody from the South.
Speaker 3: But it's not a you don't speak the South, I mean.
Speaker 3: And she was joking, by the way, guys, English, she
Speaker 3: was joking. But you say it's a South accent, or
Speaker 3: you say a Baltimore accent, or you say a New
Speaker 3: York accent.
Speaker 1: But she was joking. But she said, I'm joking. Guys,
Speaker 1: clearly she was joking. But they don't like Genny Ma.
Speaker 5: That's the truth.
Speaker 2: They don't like GZ and gen Mi together.
Speaker 5: That's the truth.
Speaker 2: That's the true, the reality of the situation.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Just you got to come to terms with yourself. You
Speaker 1: gotta come to grips with yourself. Just admit you don't
Speaker 1: like seeing g Z and Jenny Mine together.
Speaker 5: You Genie, I keep saying, Jenny Min, Genie.
Speaker 1: Yes, you don't like that combination of soul food in
Speaker 1: Chinese food. That's what you're saying Vietnamese food Vietnam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 3: Soul food to Vietnamese. Yes, yes, yes, well that is
Speaker 3: your rumor report right now. Dog here today, who giving
Speaker 3: a donkey too?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 1: We need Marjorietail agree and to come to the front
Speaker 1: of the congregation. We'd like to have a world with
Speaker 1: her this morning.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, we'll get to that next. And
Speaker 3: I don't know it's the breakfast club. Good morning, the
Speaker 3: breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 1: It's tough to find that right person, especially when it
Speaker 1: comes to hiring for an open role. With ZIP Recruiters,
Speaker 1: matching technology makes it easy to find and invite great
Speaker 1: candidates to apply to your jobs. Try it for free
Speaker 1: at ziprecruited dot com slash breakfast.
Speaker 2: This is a miracle, there is no question.
Speaker 1: And there are problems in this country between.
Speaker 7: Police and community.
Speaker 24: Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that
Speaker 24: police killing of a black man.
Speaker 5: Now the new developments in the definitely spawshooting rampage.
Speaker 2: Then yesterday it was a really bad day for him
Speaker 2: and this is what he did, and.
Speaker 23: So we are in a state of emergency.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: White supremacist violence is always has been the number one
Speaker 1: threat to our society.
Speaker 16: But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
Speaker 2: The breakfast club bitch.
Speaker 11: All right, Ronny, please tell me why was I your donkey.
Speaker 2: Of the day.
Speaker 1: Well, donkey today for Friday, May nineteenth goes to the
Speaker 1: bigoted barbie known as Marjorie Taylor Green. Oh, the mayonnaise
Speaker 1: is heavy on this one, people, This human jar hellman's
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green is out of her white devil damn
Speaker 1: mind Marjorie says things like, you know, the forest fires
Speaker 1: in California was started by a laser beams from space
Speaker 1: that are controlled by Jewish people. She says things like
Speaker 1: Bill and Hillary Clinton had John F. Kennedy Junior killed
Speaker 1: because he was a political rival. She says things like
Speaker 1: President Obama is the secret Muslim, and she says things
Speaker 1: like a plane probably didn't crash into the Pentagon on
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. She's actually a person who should probably
Speaker 1: have a YouTube channel more than she should have a
Speaker 1: seat in Congress. But yesterday she spoke on a confrontation
Speaker 1: she had outside the Capitol with a brother. I like
Speaker 1: a lot of Congressman Jamal Bowman dropping the clues bods
Speaker 1: of Congressman Jamal Bowman. My confrontation started because the House
Speaker 1: Republicans deflected a Democratic motion to expel the federally indicted
Speaker 1: New York Representative George Santos, and Santos spoke to reporters,
Speaker 1: jab Ba Bowman does what he always does, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's starting some good trouble, you know, some good
Speaker 1: disruption because he called out that George Santos should resign,
Speaker 1: and Marjorie Taylor Green didn't like that.
Speaker 2: Let's listen.
Speaker 7: To say to save yourself.
Speaker 2: Like I said, if I could, if I could understand
Speaker 2: you over my colleagues screaming here the reality is better.
Speaker 2: You gotta go, man, Come on, how's your ethics? How's
Speaker 2: your ethics?
Speaker 12: Play guy?
Speaker 16: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 12: Come what?
Speaker 1: I can't I can't continue to true you guys.
Speaker 2: Because there's a deright.
Speaker 1: Well, even though do we have Marjorie approaching Jamal Bowman,
Speaker 1: we have that one.
Speaker 2: Let's say that. No more chilling nonsense.
Speaker 25: Come on the party, children, there's something about guns.
Speaker 2: The players went trumps.
Speaker 22: Where where are the micant.
Speaker 2: Youth that we love?
Speaker 6: The children? You can't find them?
Speaker 1: Grant children. Just sounds like a difference of opinion to
Speaker 1: people outside right, going back and forth. Even though Marjorie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green clearly approached Jamal Bowman, and you heard the
Speaker 1: conversation she did with all Karen's doing, decided to play victim.
Speaker 2: Let's listen to what she had to say.
Speaker 24: Bowmen shouting at the top of his lungs, cursing, calling
Speaker 24: me a horrible calling me a white supremacist, which I
Speaker 24: take great offense to. That is like calling a person
Speaker 24: of color the N word. Which should never happen. Calling
Speaker 24: me a white supremacist is equal to that, and that
Speaker 24: is wrong. Jamal Bowman was down there cursing at me,
Speaker 24: telling me to get the f out of there, and
Speaker 24: he was leading them all right outside the vehicle I
Speaker 24: was sitting in. We have this all on video, and
Speaker 24: then on the Capitol steps yesterday, he was the one
Speaker 24: that approached me. Even CNN reported that yelling, shouting, raising
Speaker 24: his voice, he has aggressive. His physical mannerisms are aggressive.
Speaker 24: I think there's a lot of concern about Jamal Bowman
Speaker 24: so and I am concerned about it. I feel threatened
Speaker 24: by him.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I didn't see none of that in the video.
Speaker 1: But when you look in the Book of Karen, chapter one,
Speaker 1: verse two, it says, now shall play victim and weaponize
Speaker 1: die whiteness against black men.
Speaker 2: Okay, now, what the Congressman Bowman have to say about it.
Speaker 2: But Jormie Taylor Green at.
Speaker 9: Her press conference this morning, I said something incredibly dangerous
Speaker 9: and incredibly reckless about for me talking about my demeanor
Speaker 9: as being aggressive and saying that she feels intimidated bout Unfortunately,
Speaker 9: this country has a history of characterizing black men who
Speaker 9: are outspoken who's standing at ground and who pushed back
Speaker 9: as being threatening or intimidated.
Speaker 2: So she's not even using a dog whistle.
Speaker 9: She's using a bullhorn to put a target on my
Speaker 9: back to the people that she refers to as maga
Speaker 9: people out there who might want to cause harm.
Speaker 2: This is the same reason why Mike Brown was killed.
Speaker 6: This is one of the reasons why Emmon Teil was killed.
Speaker 9: And throughout history, black men have continued to be characterized
Speaker 9: as aggressive.
Speaker 2: Because one because of our skin color, but two.
Speaker 9: Because we happen to be outspoken and passionate about certain issues.
Speaker 1: What Marjorie tail Agreen did is textbook and has gotten
Speaker 1: a lot of Black men killed and a lot of
Speaker 1: Black men falsely in prison. And I don't know how
Speaker 1: y'all ever walked around saying believe all women when women
Speaker 1: like her exist on this planet. Now, the reason Marjorie
Speaker 1: tail a Green is getting donkey of today is for
Speaker 1: this statement right here, play this one clip real quick.
Speaker 24: Reck calling me a white supremacist, which I take great
Speaker 24: offense to. That is like calling a person of color
Speaker 24: the N word, which should never happen. Calling me a
Speaker 24: white supremacist is equal to that, and that is wrong.
Speaker 1: Fun fact that I think most sane people would common sense. No,
Speaker 1: calling someone a white supremacist is not the same as
Speaker 1: calling someone the N word. Okay, Comparing white supremacy to
Speaker 1: the N word is nuts, because white supremacy is a
Speaker 1: term that was given because of white people's actions feeling
Speaker 1: superior to other races and cultures. The N word is
Speaker 1: the exact opposite of that. It's too deep power our
Speaker 1: people because of our skin color. Okay, white supremacy is power.
Speaker 1: The N word has no power. One is a description,
Speaker 1: and one is clearly an insult. If you wanted to
Speaker 1: compare it to you wouldn't say white supremacy. You would
Speaker 1: probably use other colorful words like honky whitey, peckerwood, mayonnaise,
Speaker 1: blue white, white devil are my favorite, and it comes
Speaker 1: from the black philosopher Chris Rock when he said.
Speaker 2: This, mother.
Speaker 1: Yes, those are close, but not equivalent because of all
Speaker 1: the blood on the N word.
Speaker 2: Just to be and just to be all the way
Speaker 2: textbook with it.
Speaker 1: A white supremacist is a person who believes that white
Speaker 1: people are a superior race and should therefore dominate society,
Speaker 1: typically to the exclusion our detriment of other racial and
Speaker 1: ethnic groups. Marjorie, based on your stances in regards the
Speaker 1: Muslims and the LGBTQ and Jewish people, I think that
Speaker 1: title is actually fitting for you. The N word is
Speaker 1: a racial slur used against black people, and a lot
Speaker 1: of people use it as a term for ignorant. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you, Marjorie Taylor Green, you actually
Speaker 1: are a white supremacist nigger.
Speaker 2: Okay, see the N word. Listen. The N word has
Speaker 2: historically been about color.
Speaker 1: White people use it against black people all the time,
Speaker 1: but it's actually more so about behavior.
Speaker 2: Like we refer to ignorant people of.
Speaker 1: All races as the N word, And Marjorie Taylor Green,
Speaker 1: you are one of the most niggatively acting white women
Speaker 1: I've ever met in my life. I've never met you,
Speaker 1: but ever seen in my life. Okay, I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone should ever call you a white supremacist without adding
Speaker 1: the N word to it.
Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green is a white supremacist nigga. Okay.
Speaker 1: In fact, the only way your false equivalency makes sense
Speaker 1: is if you say white supremacy.
Speaker 2: Is ignorance, which it is, and if you are.
Speaker 1: Saying white supremacy is ignorance, and that's why it's the
Speaker 1: same is the N word.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: If that's how you want it to be, other than
Speaker 1: that you just out here spewing. Cracker asked cocka please
Speaker 1: let Chelsea Handler give that white supremacist nigga. Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 1: Green the biggest he haw. Jesus hee haw hee haw.
Speaker 1: That is way too much, Dan Maynes, my girl Kathy
Speaker 1: Griffin ad, I know she got something to say.
Speaker 2: Please give this giant jar male the biggest he haw.
Speaker 2: Chris Rock's been the block one time as Cracker. What
Speaker 2: my girl? That what we got on the menu today?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm?
Speaker 3: All right, on b Eat shout out to BT. I
Speaker 3: want to how many time they're gonna hit a bleep
Speaker 3: on b Dumpy.

Speaker 1: going they're losing their minds. You can't say coming to
Speaker 1: America in Eddie's bed or whatever, Rick's bed.
Speaker 5: Can't say that.
Speaker 2: You can't say that.
Speaker 5: But BT, we'll see you guys on Monday.
Speaker 3: I please have a great weekend everybody else. When we
Speaker 3: come back, Rob Talker will be joining us, Rob Parker.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 3: He's a sports analyst, sports writer. He's from Queens, New York.
Speaker 3: He does so much for the community, and we're gonna
Speaker 3: talk to him when we come back.
Speaker 1: So don't move.
Speaker 5: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Morning everybody.
Speaker 3: It's dj n V Charlamage the guy. We are the
Speaker 3: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 3: brother Rob Parker.
Speaker 2: Welcome.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 2: What's up Queens Jamaica, Queen jamake a Queen's.
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 2: You know Robin? So I told her I saw Robin
Speaker 2: the street the other day.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: I was excited to see him because you know, first
Speaker 1: take that's the part of your morning ritual.
Speaker 4: Right right.
Speaker 1: No, So when I saw him, like, oh, shooting, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, hey, man, just to let you know,
Speaker 1: we use the term cornball brother all the time.
Speaker 2: I know you get that a lot.
Speaker 11: It's unbelievable that it became a thing. Somebody even told
Speaker 11: me like in an urban dictionary. I get credit for that,
Speaker 11: and I'm like, cornball was just to me, that was like,
Speaker 11: no big deal. The words I could have used.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to use.
Speaker 11: I thought that was a softening kind of word to use.
Speaker 11: And I couldn't believe how big it got.
Speaker 3: Comb Now you created, you launched a Major League Baseball
Speaker 3: bro podcast, website and everything. Now, how do we make
Speaker 3: baseball fun again? Baseball has made changes this season or
Speaker 3: what changes that they make? Okay, So they have the
Speaker 3: pitch clock. Okay, so now you have to throw pitches
Speaker 3: within ten seconds you get in the box. Guys can't
Speaker 3: sit around and rearrange themselves and you got to get
Speaker 3: in and either if you don't, they call a strike
Speaker 3: on the batter. And if it's a pitcher and you
Speaker 3: don't get on the mount and throw within the time allotted,
Speaker 3: then you get a ball on your from your end.
Speaker 2: So the game has changed this year.
Speaker 11: The bases are bigger and more stolen bases getting back
Speaker 11: to the bases are bigger.
Speaker 6: They made the bases bigger.
Speaker 2: Now it's almost the size of a pizza box.
Speaker 5: Why did they do that?
Speaker 11: Okay, So now it gives you a little more edge
Speaker 11: to be able to steal bases. Right because the bases,
Speaker 11: I could get to the base sooner. And they also
Speaker 11: wanted to make the bases bigger to be able to
Speaker 11: eliminate being stepped on and injuries that have happened. The
Speaker 11: pitch clock has cut thirty minutes off the game we
Speaker 11: go to a game. Now, games in major leagues are
Speaker 11: now two thirty five.
Speaker 5: To forty posted four hours. Three and a half.
Speaker 11: Yeah, like three and a half hours. So baseball has
Speaker 11: made a lot of those changes and it's been good
Speaker 11: for the game. And then, so let me tell you,
Speaker 11: MLB bro was an idea had going back. We start
Speaker 11: launched in twenty twenty one, and basically what we do
Speaker 11: is we cover black and brown Major leaguers and we
Speaker 11: cover top to bottom. There's about eighty eighty five black
Speaker 11: players and we're on top of them. And Major League
Speaker 11: Baseball this past year partnered with us and decided that
Speaker 11: they liked what we've been doing and this is something
Speaker 11: that they wanted to have a partnership with. And this
Speaker 11: has been really good and there's all kinds of other
Speaker 11: elements to it. I have a staff of over sixty
Speaker 11: mostly young black and round reporters and content producers. It
Speaker 11: is incredible.
Speaker 2: This podcast must be doing amazing.
Speaker 6: It is, it's doing great.
Speaker 11: It's a website and podcast and they do all the
Speaker 11: teams though, right, So yeah, we do all the teams.
Speaker 11: We've got players, all reporters and content producers and all over.
Speaker 11: We're on social media, have a staff of like fifteen
Speaker 11: or twenty. So this goes back to twenty twenty. Went
Speaker 11: to the Baseball Star Game in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2: Me JR.
Speaker 11: Gamble, who's the managing editor of the site, and Mark Gray.
Speaker 11: We're all three brothers and we're all at the Baseball
Speaker 11: Star Game and it was just a dream of ours.
Speaker 11: We talked about it and we actually made this thing happen.
Speaker 11: But to have the backing of Major League Baseball, major
Speaker 11: League Baseball is an eleven billion dollar industry. MLB didn't
Speaker 11: have to join in with us and say that, you know,
Speaker 11: we'll be cool with this, but they saw the value
Speaker 11: in it, and it's organic and it's real. It's not
Speaker 11: like a bunch of white guys sitting around a table
Speaker 11: say what can we come up with to attract black people.
Speaker 6: To the game.
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you that are more black players
Speaker 3: or less black players? And do you see more black fans?
Speaker 3: Because I don't see as many black players as I
Speaker 3: did as when I was a kid.
Speaker 11: They're coming and we follow the minor leagues and the
Speaker 11: players who are there and they are coming. So life
Speaker 11: haf ESPN has been great, It really has. I mean,
Speaker 11: you know, during the time, whenever things happen in life.
Speaker 11: And I've worked at thirty five different places in my career.
Speaker 11: So after ESPN, you know, I worked in Detroit and
Speaker 11: continued to work in Detroit, and then since I've gone
Speaker 11: on the Fox Chris Bussard, and now I have a
Speaker 11: radio show, The Yad Couple, which is Yeah, which is
Speaker 11: just a fun show, and we've done a lot on
Speaker 11: that over the last six years.
Speaker 6: So it's cool.
Speaker 1: When I think back on that situation, I'm like, there
Speaker 1: had to be something else. It couldn't have just been
Speaker 1: the Cornball brother comments the RG three. It is no
Speaker 1: way that caused them to say, Rob, You're no longer
Speaker 1: with ESPN. It had to be something else going on
Speaker 1: the scenes.
Speaker 2: I worked there for eighty years, never called to the
Speaker 2: principal's office.
Speaker 6: Zero. I'm not lying to zero.
Speaker 11: The bad part was it was the perfect storm that
Speaker 11: hurt me a At that time, he was the one
Speaker 11: of the most popular players in the NFL, just one
Speaker 11: like Rookie of the Year. He was a star player
Speaker 11: Number two. This happened in December of that year. Contract
Speaker 11: was up at the end of the year. It's easy
Speaker 11: to just say, like, we're not going to resign you
Speaker 11: after Do you see what I'm saying? Like it one
Speaker 11: like they had three years invested in me and what
Speaker 11: we're gonna do. And if I really wanted to push it,
Speaker 11: I could have. I could have made a big enough
Speaker 11: stink because there were emails sent all kinds of I
Speaker 11: got text for my boss after that segment, Rob, you
Speaker 11: remained one of the most undervalue talent at ESPN. Producers
Speaker 11: were told to take that clip to put on the
Speaker 11: Emmy reel.
Speaker 6: Here's the other one.
Speaker 2: You remember.
Speaker 11: First take was two hours right till noon. Then they
Speaker 11: had the best of first take, which they played for
Speaker 11: an hour. They would clip out the three best segments
Speaker 11: of this show and put it on for the afternoon show.
Speaker 11: If I had really violated what they were saying that
Speaker 11: I did and I was out of bounds, do you
Speaker 11: know that segment was clipped out of the original airing
Speaker 11: and put into the Best of show?
Speaker 2: How is that put into the Best of show? If
Speaker 2: I violated ESPN?
Speaker 11: And because they didn't even look at it that way,
Speaker 11: it was actually just pushed back social media.
Speaker 4: And all that.
Speaker 5: So for people that don't know, allegedly they were upset
Speaker 5: that you called him a cornball?
Speaker 1: Brother, right, were right? Now, what is wrong with saying
Speaker 1: somebody's a cornball? I don't even think the people knew
Speaker 1: why they why they were upset.
Speaker 6: I agree with you.
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's.
Speaker 3: Because in high school you would call somebody, oh here cornball,
Speaker 3: esp But it's not racial, like if there's nothing to
Speaker 3: that thing too.
Speaker 1: It's like somebody saying somebody saw for some of somebody
Speaker 1: as a sucker, Like I don't understand watching everybody watching
Speaker 1: that at the time.
Speaker 2: Knew what he meant, right, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: And you know what what did I say? I said
Speaker 2: the guys in the barbershop.
Speaker 11: I even said that, like that's the conversation had in
Speaker 11: a barbership, because we know what kind of conversations they are.
Speaker 2: But hey, you don't regret it, no, I mean, things
Speaker 2: happen in life.
Speaker 23: Man.
Speaker 11: I've been doing this for thirty seventy years, kidding thirty
Speaker 11: seven years to be relevant all this time and to
Speaker 11: continue to grow, and you know, between Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 11: and MLB bro and I work for MLB Network and
Speaker 11: you know I teach at.
Speaker 6: USC, I teach sports journalism. I love that. Yeah, so
Speaker 6: I'm doing all the stuff that I love to do.
Speaker 1: All right, we got more with Rob Parker when we
Speaker 1: come back. You know him as a sports analyst, sports writer,
Speaker 1: and more so, don't move.
Speaker 5: It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, and everybody's dj n V.
Speaker 3: Charlamagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still
Speaker 3: kicking it with Rob Parker. You know him as a
Speaker 3: sports analyst, a sports writer, sports coach too.
Speaker 5: Can the Lakers beat the Nuggets?
Speaker 6: Sure they can.
Speaker 2: I don't think they will. How's that?
Speaker 11: I just think the Joker I think people have you know,
Speaker 11: they were calling the Nuggets the Chicken Nuggets all season.
Speaker 11: Nobody want to believe in them. They've been impressive during
Speaker 11: the post during the postseason. You don't think Ad has
Speaker 11: nothing for the Joker? Well, he had forty points and
Speaker 11: the Lakers still got an l in Game one, right,
Speaker 11: I mean like, if you're if you're a Laker fan
Speaker 11: and Ad.
Speaker 2: Scored forty, do you think you won that game? Absolutely?
Speaker 6: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: That to me.
Speaker 2: And the Joker didn't score any points in the fourth
Speaker 2: quarter of Game one was that said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now let's talk heat in Celtics. I don't think
Speaker 3: anybody thought the Heat was definitely gonna win the first game.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, the Celtics. The Celtics have had
Speaker 2: to struggle the whole way.
Speaker 11: Remember they lost Game one to Philadelphia, right that they
Speaker 11: didn't even have him beat in that game. So, I
Speaker 11: don't know, there's something about the Celtics. They've lost home
Speaker 11: games to teams that you would think that they should win.
Speaker 11: It doesn't mean Miami won Game one. It doesn't mean
Speaker 11: that they can't the Celtics can't win the next four
Speaker 11: or whatever.
Speaker 1: What about John Morant? How should the NBA handle that situation?
Speaker 1: People were saying, just be suspended for a whole season.
Speaker 11: What do you think at least half a year because
Speaker 11: this is the second thing, you know, the second offense,
Speaker 11: and two months after, like, I just don't even dis
Speaker 11: something deeper that after you've been through that and people
Speaker 11: are telling you, hey, you could lose your your Nike deal,
Speaker 11: and you can lose all these sponsors and all kinds
Speaker 11: of other things that are goinging on, and yet you
Speaker 11: still come out and do it. And then people, here's
Speaker 11: The other thing that I think is people are saying, well,
Speaker 11: he didn't break any laws. The gun that you don't
Speaker 11: know if it was right loaded, you know, and all
Speaker 11: these other things. When you sign up for a professional league,
Speaker 11: you don't just represent yourself, represent the organization.
Speaker 6: You represent the league.
Speaker 11: That's why their code of conduct, you know, these contracts right,
Speaker 11: moral clauses.
Speaker 1: And I think with just we say two incidents, but
Speaker 1: it's been more than two incidents. Yeah, two incident of
Speaker 1: him waving a gun, but there's been other incidents that
Speaker 1: all involved guns in some way.
Speaker 11: Suppose he beat up a seventeen year old kid in
Speaker 11: his backyard and there was that he brandished a gun
Speaker 11: in that situation. Pointing right with the Indiana Pacers, like
Speaker 11: there's too many things going on here where you can
Speaker 11: just turn your head and act like nothing's happened.
Speaker 5: Something's happened now, you know. People were saying that did
Speaker 5: EMBD deserve the MVP over the joke? What's your thoughts?
Speaker 6: It was close? The numbers are real close.
Speaker 11: Embiid I know, politics like he felt like he didn't
Speaker 11: get it last year, but now watching the joker, the
Speaker 11: people are like, oh, maybe he might have been and
Speaker 11: the one thing I had as a pushback to people
Speaker 11: who didn't want to vote for him.
Speaker 6: I get voter fatigue.
Speaker 11: He wanted two years, but there are a lot of
Speaker 11: voters I think didn't wanted him to win it three
Speaker 11: years in a row because Jordan never did it. Lebron
Speaker 11: never won, you know what I mean. But it's got
Speaker 11: to be it should be in a vacuum, not when
Speaker 11: you're looking out for historical standpoints. It's got to just
Speaker 11: be based on the number, and his numbers were very
Speaker 11: close to Embiid.
Speaker 2: I'm not I don't have.
Speaker 11: An issue because I respect people's votes if they really
Speaker 11: believe it was Embeid.
Speaker 2: It's not like the Joker, for sure was miles ahead
Speaker 2: and got jerked.
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't feel like that.
Speaker 1: And why do you believe Lebron is better off losing
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference finals in the NBA finals?
Speaker 11: But first of all, I call Lebron the Ffote, the
Speaker 11: finals failure of all time, because he's lost more finals
Speaker 11: than any other former MVP.
Speaker 6: I just don't think that.
Speaker 11: If you're still trying to make a case for Lebron
Speaker 11: against Michael being the goat another loss in the finals, doesn't.
Speaker 6: Help his argument.
Speaker 11: He'll be four and seven. It'd be better off if
Speaker 11: he lost now in this then to go to the
Speaker 11: finals and lose again. Then people, if you're trying to
Speaker 11: make that argument, go he lost seven times, Mike won six,
Speaker 11: never lost and won all six MVP.
Speaker 6: Which one you want?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I never understand when we started giving people participation trophies.
Speaker 2: If nobody ever said the Buffalo bille is one of
Speaker 2: the greatest NFL.
Speaker 11: Teams that never happened, thank you. That's my argument all
Speaker 11: the time when I talk about it. Marv Levy was
Speaker 11: the coach of that Buffalo Bill's team went to fourth.
Speaker 11: Have you ever heard anybody say Marv leve he's the
Speaker 11: greatest coach in NFL history. No, because it's about winning.
Speaker 11: It is about winning, and if we talk about the
Speaker 11: greatest of all time, we should nitpick. Look through somebody's resume.
Speaker 11: Who'd you beat? What was the circumstance, what was the situation?
Speaker 2: That's what.
Speaker 11: And it doesn't mean that because I don't think he's
Speaker 11: Lebron's not the goat. I think he's a bum. He's
Speaker 11: a great player. I think he's the second best player
Speaker 11: of all time. But I don't think he's I don't
Speaker 11: think he's to go. I got him fourth, fourth.
Speaker 1: I got Michael and people don't agree with you, but
Speaker 1: I got Steph Curry. You got Steph Curry, Steph two,
Speaker 1: Kobe three, then brond in Magic.
Speaker 12: Wow.
Speaker 6: I can't get with the Steph Curry.
Speaker 11: Why because I don't know if he has those other
Speaker 11: two championships without Durant.
Speaker 6: Remember that.
Speaker 3: But you can say bron don't have those championships without Kyrie.
Speaker 3: You can say you don't have it without you can
Speaker 3: say he don't have it without a d.
Speaker 11: But the only difference is Steph Curry is the author
Speaker 11: of the biggest choke in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 2: When they lost a three to one league had never
Speaker 2: happened in the.
Speaker 5: History of the Nbamond got suspended time.
Speaker 11: Yep, that was Game five, but they still lost game six,
Speaker 11: Game seven. And remember in that finals that year, they
Speaker 11: set the record for the most wins in the regular season. Okay,
Speaker 11: they didn't lose more than two games in a row
Speaker 11: all year, and then they lost the last three games
Speaker 11: to lose the finals. That's a big negative for this
Speaker 11: greatest And here's the other part.
Speaker 1: But he's still three and one in the NBA Final
Speaker 1: was against Lebron and he won a ring without Katie,
Speaker 1: went to rings without Katie.
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 2: Katie ain't done. Katie has nothing since he's Steph C.
Speaker 11: But if you take those two away, I don't think
Speaker 11: you're putting that confedce. I think k D and if
Speaker 11: you remember k D, they were aiding one against Lebron
Speaker 11: and and k D was the best player on that team.
Speaker 2: It's Steph the greatest shooter of all time? Last yes, okay, shooter.
Speaker 11: I don't know. It's hard for me to say that
Speaker 11: Steph is because and I'm just gonna give you a circumstance.
Speaker 11: How can you say he's the greatest shooter when nobody
Speaker 11: will take him to make a basket to win the
Speaker 11: game at the end.
Speaker 2: I think that that's why I'm not on board with
Speaker 2: the greatest shooter of all time. Damn, that's saying a lot.
Speaker 2: But I mean, when I look at people, who is
Speaker 2: that fair?
Speaker 6: Do you shoot what I'm saying, what you're saying.
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying, like the greatest shooter, that's
Speaker 2: got to be included. How you don't make no big shots?
Speaker 2: But then yeah, I say by that, by that logic,
Speaker 2: Robert Or the greatest shooter, the greatest shooter.
Speaker 11: That logic, you would say Robert Orry is one of
Speaker 11: the greatest clutch shooter. Yeah, not a great I'm just
Speaker 11: saying because of the clutch doesn't go there. If you
Speaker 11: want to say somebody's the greatest shooter, it just it
Speaker 11: doesn't make any sense to me. If I ask you
Speaker 11: a player, and I give you three choices to make
Speaker 11: a shot at the end of the game to win,
Speaker 11: and you don't pick Steph, Steph should be picked every time.
Speaker 3: But like Charlay said, if you put Robert or in
Speaker 3: there and then you talk about clutch shooting and how
Speaker 3: many times they call them right now, you put those
Speaker 3: floor in there, big shop, you might go to big Shop,
Speaker 3: Bob because you know big sha.
Speaker 11: Bas clutch clutch. No, I get it, But I say,
Speaker 11: it doesn't make him the best shooter. No, but it's
Speaker 11: got to be the whole packing.
Speaker 2: What do you have stuff?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: Is he top five to you?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 2: Top ten?
Speaker 6: Probably top ten. What's your top five?
Speaker 11: I would say obviously Michael lebron Kareem magic and then five.
Speaker 1: I never even thought about Kobe wasn't being your top five.
Speaker 2: No, Kobe's not a top five either.
Speaker 6: You know why.
Speaker 2: He's the closest thing to Jordan.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but the only problem is even on his team
Speaker 11: when he's with Shaq, Shaq was the most dominant player
Speaker 11: in the league now Kobe. So it's hard for me
Speaker 11: when Shaq means he wins two. Yeah, but that he
Speaker 11: didn't win too immediately he had to go get Pole
Speaker 11: gasol Le's.
Speaker 2: He had to rebuild it. Remember when he's with Smutch Parker.
Speaker 2: I don't think he was winning back then, was he Okay?
Speaker 5: So Kobe's not in So who's the five? Who's in between?
Speaker 11: I hate to ex out the old players, you know
Speaker 11: what I mean? I think they get the short end
Speaker 11: of the stick. I mean, obviously, Bill Russell won eleven championships,
Speaker 11: so it's hard for me to totally leave him out.
Speaker 11: I'll take Bill Russell, Bill Russell. Is it true you
Speaker 11: don't think Tom Brady should be allowed in the Hall
Speaker 11: of Fame? Tom Brady is the load, first of all?
Speaker 2: What's the load?
Speaker 6: The luckiest of all?
Speaker 4: Tom?
Speaker 12: God?
Speaker 2: Damn, what I could give you four of those Super.
Speaker 11: Bowls that he shouldn't have. First of all the talk rule.
Speaker 11: Remember that he coughed up the ball, they gave it
Speaker 11: back to her.
Speaker 2: He went the nine Super Bowl.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's under the.
Speaker 2: Tom Brady he went with Tampa.
Speaker 1: But I'm just asking literally, after leaving Newingly, he takes
Speaker 1: Dampa to the Super Bowl in the.
Speaker 2: First year when they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 11: I'll give you that, and that's why I call him lucky.
Speaker 11: But also, the New England Patriots have cheated. And I
Speaker 11: just have a hard time with if Tom Brady was
Speaker 11: suspended by the league for cheating with the Flake kid.
Speaker 6: But if we're going to.
Speaker 11: Say Bonds and Clemens and all these people don't blow
Speaker 11: in the Hall of Fame because they cheated or what, Okay,
Speaker 11: then Tom Brady was a part of an organization and
Speaker 11: a team that cheated. Why are we making it like
Speaker 11: that doesn't matter. I wish my Cowboys would cheat, right,
Speaker 11: don't you want them to win?
Speaker 20: Yes?
Speaker 3: Well, Rob, we appreciate you joining us. Give them the
Speaker 3: information on your podcast, MLB bro.

Speaker 1: having a hit record.
Speaker 5: That's a hit record, that hit that could be the summer,
Speaker 5: the som anthem it should be.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I don't know what determines
Speaker 2: the hit record no more. Because it sounds like a hit,
Speaker 2: sounds like a big record, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It sounds like sounds like a huge record. It puts
Speaker 2: me in the vein of like jay Z hard knocked life.
Speaker 1: And not even just because of the kids and kids
Speaker 1: singing on the hook, but the content of the round.
Speaker 22: Big question was her not life like in the clubs?
Speaker 2: Yes, it was.
Speaker 22: You think all my life is going to be in
Speaker 22: the club.

Speaker 1: able to play the record? It wasn't in It was
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit. It wasn't like a
Speaker 1: big club smash. They had other records like money Cash
Speaker 1: Holes from that in the club. But I think you
Speaker 1: will be able to play that in the club A
Speaker 1: snippet of it in and out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because because it was because even with jay Z
Speaker 3: would play it to something for my big for then
Speaker 3: you were going to and then you're going to J record.
Speaker 1: I used to people going to a biggie record and
Speaker 1: they started doing that. Well I don't know if I
Speaker 1: don't know who did it first, but.
Speaker 26: Either way, great record and I'm honestly not really a
Speaker 26: huge little Dirk fans, so I had, nah, I.

Speaker 5: Because they're selling records and making hits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because usually they do that when it's like you know,
Speaker 1: a card he's hot, are mags when it's like one
Speaker 1: or two people hot.
Speaker 2: But this seems like they're just signing a bunch.
Speaker 5: Of You think about it. In the last six months,
Speaker 5: how many women that went number one?
Speaker 3: Gorilla, you got a lotto, You've gotten Nicki Minaj Cardi.
Speaker 2: The women have dominated all your.
Speaker 26: Long, Yeah, to the point where, like I wonder if
Speaker 26: we're gonna get to a point where both can exist
Speaker 26: at the same time.
Speaker 22: What you mean, yeah, because I feel like it's been
Speaker 22: crickets for the men.
Speaker 2: That's not true.
Speaker 1: A little baby stealing the charge, Drake sealing the charice.
Speaker 1: This record that you just played early is gonna be.
Speaker 22: I'm not really like moving the needle like the women
Speaker 22: are moving the needle.
Speaker 1: No, it's been a definitely a woman dominated yet that's
Speaker 1: in the last year, the last six months.
Speaker 2: We just need somebody toxic to come out.
Speaker 22: That's all y'all got mad toxic. I mean everything y'all
Speaker 22: do is toxic.

Speaker 2: The Dude's echo twenty First, tell people what the Doula
Speaker 2: ex Boy.
Speaker 5: Is if they just finding out this Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 23: This Saturday and Sunday. So, Doula Exo is Coachella for
Speaker 23: birth workers and families. It is our annual event that
Speaker 23: is about really shaping a vision in future for what
Speaker 23: birth work could be, how we can improve maternal health outcomes,
Speaker 23: but also how we can celebrate.
Speaker 7: So it's a party, it's festive.
Speaker 23: It's a space where people can come together from elected
Speaker 23: to families, to hospital and healthcare systems and then doulas
Speaker 23: and care workers. Is for everybody to have a day
Speaker 23: of self care and reflection and fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is your third one. So what's different about
Speaker 3: any different about this one? Or what can people if
Speaker 3: they've been to the recent ones or the ones before,
Speaker 3: what's different about this it's a great question and be so.
Speaker 23: The first year we did it in Bushwick and it
Speaker 23: was like a six thousand square foot space. We had
Speaker 23: like four hundred people. Last year, Charlemagne was there, it
Speaker 23: was amazing. He did a great talk with Charles Johnson
Speaker 23: about a black man and maternal health. And then that
Speaker 23: space was about sixteen thousand square feet and we had
Speaker 23: a thousand people. This space is six d thousand, six
Speaker 23: zero sixty thousand square feet. It's an entire floor in
Speaker 23: Hudson Yards. We have a private entrance. You come on
Speaker 23: tenth Avenue, you come up the elevator banks you're going
Speaker 23: to be in like Mama Glow World. And yeah, we
Speaker 23: check a couple thousand people this year. We have amazing giveaways.
Speaker 2: This year.
Speaker 7: We have a nurser reset.
Speaker 23: So if you got a baby and you just want
Speaker 23: to like you know, or your baby on the way,
Speaker 23: you need a brand new room. We got an entire
Speaker 23: nursery set that's gonna be gifted. It's about ten thousand
Speaker 23: dollars of value. So in a really nice, amazing Brooklyn
Speaker 23: based modern furniture company that's that's bringing that in. We
Speaker 23: have a bunch of different activations so CBS Health is
Speaker 23: doing an activation, So there's all these different spaces that
Speaker 23: you can go in and check out and hang out
Speaker 23: in throughout the day. And then there's also childcare so
Speaker 23: if you have little ones and you want them to,
Speaker 23: you know, stay active, we have a couple of childcare
Speaker 23: providers that are there activating and activities for kids. You
Speaker 23: can just hang out there all day.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like it grows so much every year because
Speaker 1: clearly this information was needed and people wanted to save
Speaker 1: space to come talk about Black maternal health exactly.
Speaker 23: And I think you know what we're seeing now, especially
Speaker 23: with the reintroduction of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act,
Speaker 23: which you know is now in its third year being presented.
Speaker 23: We need to get it passed. I think this is
Speaker 23: a great space to also lift up policy and legislative
Speaker 23: efforts that are really important right now. And for those
Speaker 23: who don't know, Senator Corey Booker and Representative Underwood were
Speaker 23: the people who really drove forward this legislation through the
Speaker 23: Black Maternal Health Caucus. And what's really important about this
Speaker 23: particular package of legislation is thirteen different bills that it's
Speaker 23: the most comprehensive piece of legislation to get pushed through
Speaker 23: that we need to push through that addresses maternal health,
Speaker 23: and so we haven't seen anything like it. We do
Speaker 23: need to get it passed. We do need to do
Speaker 23: this on a national level because then it'll impact locally
Speaker 23: how health funding is dispersed, how we think about accountability
Speaker 23: when things like maternal does happen, how we account for data.
Speaker 23: It will really help us to do better for for
Speaker 23: our black moms.
Speaker 2: And this is something that a white predend and Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris has really gotten behind too.
Speaker 23: Absolutely. It is one of the pieces on the federal agenda,
Speaker 23: and it's something that even when she was a Senator,
Speaker 23: she was doing this work in California, and so you know,
Speaker 23: she has also signed on to everything. The White House
Speaker 23: has made a commitment to maternal health, and they have
Speaker 23: their Maternal Health Blueprint that they released last year that
Speaker 23: really kind of outlined like what their provisions were and
Speaker 23: what they wanted to do on a national level to
Speaker 23: improve maternal health.
Speaker 1: How did you get Tatiana Ali become host? You know,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that legend in a long time.
Speaker 25: The same thing.
Speaker 23: You know, Tatiana and I we knew each other for
Speaker 23: a long time, and she also is an incredible maternal
Speaker 23: health advocate and some of who had she shared her
Speaker 23: experience actually that she had a really challenging first birth
Speaker 23: experience which she was able to share and highlight like
Speaker 23: what happens to people, even people who are resourced, right,
Speaker 23: because we know stories like Serena Williams and Beyonce as well,
Speaker 23: And so she was sharing how she had a similar
Speaker 23: experience where she wasn't supported in the way she needed
Speaker 23: and that made her, you know, really stand on the
Speaker 23: front lines and also support and champion maternal health. But
Speaker 23: but we're friends too, and she was like, look, I'm coming,
Speaker 23: I want to do this. We need to like make
Speaker 23: it a celebration. And last year we had Karen Parsons. Yeah,
Speaker 23: next year we gotta have will and Jana Right, No,
Speaker 23: but but amazing, I mean she's so great, and I
Speaker 23: think the mission and what we're doing, you know, is
Speaker 23: just about like uplifting birth workers, uplifting maternal health, and
Speaker 23: also just like you know, it's a celebration too, because
Speaker 23: bird should be joyful and transcendent and celebratory, right, And
Speaker 23: a lot of the conversations we're having obviously focus on
Speaker 23: maternal deaths, and if we're focused there, you know, it
Speaker 23: does take us away from the really beautiful things we
Speaker 23: should also be celebrating and preparing people for. So, so
Speaker 23: that's what this weekend is about.
Speaker 7: It's about celebration.
Speaker 23: It's about loving up on people, gifting them, making sure
Speaker 23: that they have the resources that they need. We've been
Speaker 23: able to support a lot of birth workers and also
Speaker 23: people in community who can't afford to attend with you know,
Speaker 23: access to the event. So that's another thing that we're
Speaker 23: also proud of.
Speaker 2: And you're a professor at Brown University as well.
Speaker 23: Right, Yes, So since I saw y'all last I had
Speaker 23: a historic appointment at Brown University as an assistant visiting
Speaker 23: professor the practice of Gender and Sexuality Studies and the
Speaker 23: Pembroke Center for Teaching and Learning on Women. I know
Speaker 23: it's a lot and so at.
Speaker 2: Brown would strike that down if you had the change.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah he would.
Speaker 23: Yeah, he'd be like, wait, what gender studies sexuality studies?
Speaker 23: Like right, So, but what's great about this appointment at
Speaker 23: Brown is that I've been working with the next generation
Speaker 23: of people who want to be in healthcare, who want
Speaker 23: to be obgyn's my students, like the range of students
Speaker 23: will be like bioethics, OBGYN, public health, ob guide, and
Speaker 23: pre med.
Speaker 1: That's interesting because I never thought about that before. Was
Speaker 1: doula's recognized. Are they recognized as like medical professionals?
Speaker 2: That's a great question.
Speaker 6: So there are not.
Speaker 23: They're non clinical care providers. So with that, and that's
Speaker 23: very important because somebody might say, oh, let me have
Speaker 23: a doula to come deliver my baby. That's not supposed
Speaker 23: to happen, right, You're supposed to have a clinician, so
Speaker 23: a midwife or a physician to deliver the baby. The
Speaker 23: doula is there as a non clinical care provider to
Speaker 23: provide emotional support, physical support, education, advocacy tools, and partner
Speaker 23: support so that when you move this process you have
Speaker 23: what you need to, you know, to feel supported.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask for people that want to
Speaker 3: come out this weekend, you know, how can they is
Speaker 3: it purchasing tickets?
Speaker 1: How can they get tickets? And what should they expect?
Speaker 1: What time should they be there and know all that
Speaker 1: other stuff.
Speaker 23: I'm like so excited because I'm like, I want to
Speaker 23: experience a day, but I have to work today, that's right,
Speaker 23: So so ten am. Doors open, the content will kind
Speaker 23: of kickoff starting around I think eleven, and then they
Speaker 23: can just be there throughout the day. You know, one
Speaker 23: thing to think through too. If you can't physically come,
Speaker 23: you can do live streaming, so you can just go
Speaker 23: to doulah xpo dot com and there's you know, information
Speaker 23: on that. But you know you want to be there
Speaker 23: because it is a vibe and it is a mood
Speaker 23: for breakfast club. You know, folks like I did last time,
Speaker 23: I love y'all, I love your listeners. Like if people
