Speaker 1: they can lose their life. Then the mobility, anything that
Speaker 1: they can get, not being u egregious or highly insensitives

Speaker 1: executive who's coachurally clueless, some white coachurally clueless executive, hopefully
Speaker 1: some black executive who knows says, you know, it would
Speaker 1: be good if we gave these women a mini series
Speaker 1: and gave the fanatics of girlfriends the proper closure that
Speaker 1: they deserve. Well, if you know how it ended, it
Speaker 1: ended just open ended. We don't know what happened. Do
Speaker 1: you want to know when it's airing? This episode? October? What?
Speaker 1: October eighth? And Blackis Does returned for their sixth season
Speaker 1: on September twenty four. Come on, it was funny. Let
Speaker 1: me walk in today and his nipples were hard. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, because I got a hit, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? I thought it's looking at me, but
Speaker 1: it was actually because girlfriends back nipples were not hard.
Speaker 1: But I am very excited because I am a girlfriend's fanatic.
Speaker 1: If you know, kay to watch a show full of
Speaker 1: black women, who said that draw nip the guy who
Speaker 1: hates to be high? Okay, all right, why do people
Speaker 1: say that? Though? Being that I love girlfriends, they'd be like,
Speaker 1: are you gay? He said, it's because your nipples are heard.
Speaker 1: But that's not watching a show full of women makes
Speaker 1: you gay? I'm gay? What are y'all even talking about?
Speaker 1: I don't know being gay. I'll keep up ye and
Speaker 1: loving girl. All right, Well, I manage that's your I mean,
Speaker 1: malik yo, but did ask you? You didn't answer correctly?
Speaker 1: He said, what are you when you? Yeah? I was
Speaker 1: confused that that was a trick question. That was that
Speaker 1: was a trick question. And by the way, what what
Speaker 1: I what I've been calling myself all of these years?
Speaker 1: They was like, nope, you're since gendered heterosexual something else
Speaker 1: male loving male. But they didn't say that. Drunk confusion,
Speaker 1: I can't even find Yeah, you confused me? Follow pretty good?
Speaker 1: I'm good? All right? When we come back from page
Speaker 1: news is to breakfast club, Good morning. Yeah, it's twelve mo.
Speaker 1: Dare this morning show to Breakfast Club Charlomagne and God Angelie,
Speaker 1: ye dj Envy. We got the front page news coming
Speaker 1: up right, now an Yeah, so of course we're all
Speaker 1: talking about the debates from last night. Did you watch?
Speaker 1: I did watch. I'll caught the last two hours. When
Speaker 1: I was on the plane. I saw a lot of
Speaker 1: people talking about who were the big winners and losers?
Speaker 1: Who did you like? I don't think that there was
Speaker 1: any winners and losers last night. Like it's hard to
Speaker 1: watch those elections and not think Trump twenty twenty, not
Speaker 1: because the Democrats don't be speaking of things of substance,
Speaker 1: but because none of them are entertaining. And I hate
Speaker 1: to say it, but you got to be entertaining nowadays
Speaker 1: to capture the casual voters, to get get people energized
Speaker 1: about coming to the polls. I don't see anything transformative
Speaker 1: up there. All right, well, i'll tell you what did happen.
Speaker 1: We'll give you some highlights. Now. Andrew Yang, you know,
Speaker 1: he's been talking about this dividend that he thinks people
Speaker 1: should get the one thousand dollars, and he's going to
Speaker 1: test it out. Here's what he said. My campaign will
Speaker 1: now give a freedom dividend of one thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: month for an entire year to ten American families. Some
Speaker 1: watching this at home right now. If you believe that
Speaker 1: you can solve your own problems better than any politician,
Speaker 1: go to Yang twenty twenty dot com and tell us
Speaker 1: how one thousand dollars a month will help you do
Speaker 1: just that. Well, he'll get to an actor voters because
Speaker 1: of that ten families, you got them on luck all
Speaker 1: right now. Another thing that happened was Beato or work
Speaker 1: people and everyone on stage is really commending him on
Speaker 1: his stance when it comes to gun control. Are you
Speaker 1: proposing taking away their guns? And how would this work?
Speaker 1: I am if it's a weapon that was designed to
Speaker 1: kill people on a battlefield. You know, Odessa, I met
Speaker 1: the mother of a fifteen year old girl who was
Speaker 1: shot by an AR fifteen, and that mother watched her
Speaker 1: bleed to death over the course of an hour. Because
Speaker 1: so many other people were shot by that AR fifteen
Speaker 1: in Odessa in Midland, there weren't enough ambulances to get
Speaker 1: to them in time. Hell, yes, we're gonna take your
Speaker 1: AR fifteen, your AK forty seven. I forgot Beato or
Speaker 1: Rooke is even on that stage last minute, you know what?
Speaker 1: And I think because this is a debate, right, so
Speaker 1: everybody was going back and forth and to play each other.
Speaker 1: But everybody did pick him up, and I think it
Speaker 1: shows also in a way that they're not feeling threatened.
Speaker 1: He just gets lost man being a young sis gendered. Uh,
Speaker 1: let that make Let's not make any assumptance about what
Speaker 1: his gender or sexuality. We don't get very true. But
Speaker 1: he got and he gets lost on that stage, all right. Now.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, he was asked about Barack Obama and the
Speaker 1: deportation policies when they were in office, when Biden was
Speaker 1: Vice president Obama was president, and all the negative backlash
Speaker 1: they got. Here's what he said. You didn't answer, did
Speaker 1: you make a mistake with those deportations? The president did
Speaker 1: the best thing that was able to be done in
Speaker 1: talk about you. I'm the vice President United States, all right,
Speaker 1: And what people don't like about Joe Biden is that
Speaker 1: he will invoke Barack Obama's name whenever it's to his benefit.
Speaker 1: But whenever there's policies that are questioned, then it's all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Well, it wasn't my decision. And one
Speaker 1: person that pointed that out was Julian Castro. My problem
Speaker 1: with Vice President Biden, and Corey pointed this out last
Speaker 1: time is every time something good about Barack Obama comes up,
Speaker 1: he says, oh, I was there, I was there. I
Speaker 1: was there. That's me too. And then every time somebody
Speaker 1: questions part of the administration that we were both part of,
Speaker 1: he says, well, that was the president. I mean, he
Speaker 1: wants to take credit for Obama's work but not have
Speaker 1: to answer to any questions. Point I did not say.
Speaker 1: I don't stand out. I stand with Barack Obama all
Speaker 1: eight years, good, bad and indifferent. It's a damn shame
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is the front running because you cannot
Speaker 1: look on that stage and say to yourself he is
Speaker 1: like the runaway top ten candidate that the Democrats should
Speaker 1: be getting behind, because I don't know what the hell
Speaker 1: Joe Biden be talking about ninety percent at the time,
Speaker 1: he just be rambling. All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee
Speaker 1: and that is your front page news. That's right. And
Speaker 1: a man who doesn't ramble is coming up next. His
Speaker 1: name is Malcolm Gladwell. Huh oh Hitmaker's coming up neck
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, I'm not as exciting formerly known as young,
Speaker 1: but he's a great conversational list. I will tell you that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hitmaker will about anything and he does not hold back. Yes,
Speaker 1: he'll be here to talk about all the records that
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years, I didn't even know
Speaker 1: that he was doing all of this. This worked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has a lot of number one records that he's produced,
Speaker 1: So he's made that pivot from being an artist known
Speaker 1: as Young Burg to being a producer hit Yeah. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Hitmaker when we come back. It's the
Speaker 1: world the most dangers. Wanted to show the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. I want to get everybody as DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee Sholamine the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you should call him Young Burg or Hitmaker,
Speaker 1: you prefer days hitmaker? Hitmakers in the building? What I'm shag?
Speaker 1: How you feeling happy birthday? He's a virgo as well,
Speaker 1: fellow Virgo. Yes, sir, you already know. So it's like
Speaker 1: young Burg Dad kinda Young Burg dies. So Hitmaker, Caleb,
Speaker 1: why din't you do like a whole ceremony, like really
Speaker 1: play nig I mean the internet might have did it
Speaker 1: for me already. You know what I'm saying, so I
Speaker 1: had to do what I had to do. That was
Speaker 1: one of the best rebranding situations I've seen. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think in a last ten years, it's probably be myself,
Speaker 1: two Chains and Joe Budden and I was just crazy,
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people didn't know. Like even when
Speaker 1: I took the job to be vice president Atlantic Records,
Speaker 1: like I never did like a press release. I never
Speaker 1: did nothing like that because I knew this was gonna
Speaker 1: hate you know what I'm saying. I think it's it's
Speaker 1: better to stay low and keep firing job Atlantic Record President.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. Yeah, when the hell that happened
Speaker 1: two and a half years ago. Wow, by the way,
Speaker 1: like we in Atlantic Market with you and you the
Speaker 1: VP of Atlantic drive away after the breakfast club interview. Yeah,
Speaker 1: after the breakfast club interview, what he became vice president
Speaker 1: my last interview here. I took the job after that
Speaker 1: and then we were up here talking. I think at
Speaker 1: that point, like I had a couple number ones. I
Speaker 1: did Big Sean bounce Back, I did Chris Brown Party
Speaker 1: and then going to Atlantic Man. In the last two
Speaker 1: and a half years as a writer and a producer,
Speaker 1: I sold over fifteen million records with him and our
Speaker 1: VP of and I gave a boogie his first number
Speaker 1: one record? Did meet meal first number one record? So
Speaker 1: because I talk so you you and Jeremiah are partners still, no,
Speaker 1: Like that's my brother. He changed my life, like for real,
Speaker 1: for real when nobody was rocking with me. He took
Speaker 1: me on tour and everybody know Jeremiah bounced to to
Speaker 1: be to his own drum like, so we never seen
Speaker 1: them exactly. So I was able to have like fifty
Speaker 1: Jeremiah records. Nobody has Jeremiah hooks and all that other stuff,
Speaker 1: and I was able to run it up and that
Speaker 1: really put me in a position and really like change
Speaker 1: my life for real for real. Yeah, that's interesting because
Speaker 1: I always thought you guys were partners kind of in
Speaker 1: the or is it unofficially partners or it's just my
Speaker 1: brother and we just worked like we're serial collaborators, like
Speaker 1: and you know, we just work all the time. That's
Speaker 1: what's funny. The funny is that the girl from Loving
Speaker 1: Hip Hop hays will Eat, introduced me to Jeremiah and wow,
Speaker 1: we went to the studio to do well. Jeremiah came
Speaker 1: to do a record for her, and then it turned
Speaker 1: into just me and him working and me giving a
Speaker 1: song to meet and Meek and Chris Brown first collaboration.
Speaker 1: So love and hip hop helped your life? I mean
Speaker 1: here about some boys, But I mean, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: glad I made it out? Who is it? Me? Cardi
Speaker 1: B I would say Cayman Chale, but she right back
Speaker 1: in it anyway, So Joe, but Joe, Joe buttons right
Speaker 1: back in it. Still he's talking about made it out?
Speaker 1: What about Termory? No, I feel bad for tire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so she could pay fifty No, she ain't got it.
Speaker 1: She ain't got it. What do you mean back in
Speaker 1: the ships like me, back on the show, back on
Speaker 1: a boy like I can just imagine what Joe was
Speaker 1: gonna go through this season with him, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and his baby mother and not being together
Speaker 1: like they gonna they're gonna spice that up. I don't
Speaker 1: understand why he's back on Loving hip The man told
Speaker 1: him he got a million dollars to do it. I
Speaker 1: still don't believe, no way, he's a liar. God damn it.
Speaker 1: Still don't back you want to go back on the
Speaker 1: show at one point? No, not after they tried to
Speaker 1: trash me with that hole because I don't understand what
Speaker 1: just be saying like that, as if we're not all
Speaker 1: in this business and we can't fact check Joe John
Speaker 1: around looking for cars. He might no million dollars to
Speaker 1: be on the Loving Hip podcast. Mother please page one
Speaker 1: wouldn't approve that, Vick. I want to prove nobody come
Speaker 1: on bird getting fifteen hundred dollars episode enjoy it on
Speaker 1: a million dollars or maybe they doubled up. Maybe they
Speaker 1: gave him five and gave Sin five and that's how
Speaker 1: you make five thousand. No, he's not doing a one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand for the season five hundred thousand. You think
Speaker 1: that so kind of high to who you think is
Speaker 1: the most paid person on Love and Hip? I would
Speaker 1: think Remy Mo and Pappoos right now. It depends. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't really watch this show right now, I don't
Speaker 1: know the way the backs to risk dollars shut up.
Speaker 1: But then you know what, you have a lot of
Speaker 1: connections on there because a one you did. But I'm
Speaker 1: saying you did have a lot of connections at all,
Speaker 1: because like, um, they put me in a mix all
Speaker 1: that Love and Hip hop. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I was trying to separate myself from that because
Speaker 1: I went through traumatic on a show like they tried
Speaker 1: to like kill my whole career again, and like they
Speaker 1: put me around a bunch of boys and I'm just like, yo,
Speaker 1: keep that away from me. Then he went trademark like
Speaker 1: I would always say, like to like that's my Then
Speaker 1: he went trademark my behind my back? Isn't that your album? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he went trademarket Peril and everything that says he gave us.
Speaker 1: I don't know what told me, and I would think
Speaker 1: that was after him. It's just like like it could
Speaker 1: be used for multiple different things, you know, marketing, Yeah
Speaker 1: he did. Y'all remember the video where they were in
Speaker 1: live in the studio and people ran up in the studio.
Speaker 1: That was cap though, that was loving hip hop cap
Speaker 1: for them to add to the host because wow, So
Speaker 1: that's what that's where we parted ways. Because I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: if y'all could use me for that type of bait,
Speaker 1: just for whatever y'all doing, then ain't no telling what
Speaker 1: y'all could do with me. And like I'm vice president
Speaker 1: of Atlantic Records, I can't be having no like that
Speaker 1: go on. You know what I'm saying, that's that was
Speaker 1: literally my pace of business that Atlantic put me in
Speaker 1: the studio to be it. So I had to cut
Speaker 1: that off for it. So did you know it was?
Speaker 1: It was? It was fake when it was happening. Um,
Speaker 1: he was just on Instagram live, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like he would walk in and out the room and
Speaker 1: be doing a lot of different stuff. I didn't know nothing.
Speaker 1: So when they ran up and there, you thought it
Speaker 1: was a real situation. Yeah, so that could have went bad. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could have had a gun. Something could have you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Your people could have shot somebody.
Speaker 1: Like are you telling hip hop? So do you want
Speaker 1: to rap again? You don't want to be an artist?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. See. The thing is that a lot of
Speaker 1: people were like, yeah, I'm a writer, Yeah, I'm a producer,
Speaker 1: but I'm about to be the biggest executive in the game,
Speaker 1: Like Craig Colman gonna have to get up out that
Speaker 1: seat for me, you know what I'm saying. One of
Speaker 1: these days, like I'm about to be bigger than every
Speaker 1: executive out here because I actually have the relationships and
Speaker 1: I actually make these records, like when I created Dangerous
Speaker 1: for me, like that was just something me just being
Speaker 1: in the studio. We did that song in thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: and then it turned into being a big record for them.
Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of nrs, no disrespect
Speaker 1: to them. A lot of them are glorified middlemen, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They're just like, oh I I
Speaker 1: know this person, or they're taking credit for records because
Speaker 1: they put somebody in the studio with somebody when I'm
Speaker 1: actually on the ground level getting my hands dirty with it,
Speaker 1: you know. But there's a talent to hooking people up
Speaker 1: and putting people with people as well. But my talent
Speaker 1: is just bigger. I'm not you did on Craig Cament
Speaker 1: just now, no one a job I'm to inspire to
Speaker 1: that La Reid. I'm all these different executives I'm learning
Speaker 1: from QCP coach K Like I looked them in the
Speaker 1: face and be like, yo, I'm gonna be bigger than you.
Speaker 1: And nothing wrong with that, nah. But I will say
Speaker 1: it's very hard for creatives to be in those seats.
Speaker 1: That's why a guy like Craig will be in that seat.
Speaker 1: Like they don't put creators Lie Craig Calvin as a
Speaker 1: co producer. I like it, like that Cardi B record
Speaker 1: with j Balbot and Autumn. He actually didn't. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: has vinyl like all covering all the water sample. Yeah,
Speaker 1: La Reid. He's an executive too. He was a music creator.
Speaker 1: He was a creator. So that's a talent. That's not
Speaker 1: a talent like on your level as far as sitting
Speaker 1: down actually doing them, yeah, like and really creating stuff.
Speaker 1: I think that it's really more so like the blessed
Speaker 1: thing about what I do is that, like I said,
Speaker 1: like I really a bookie. Had never worked with nobody
Speaker 1: like like that, like closely, because he just goes in
Speaker 1: the studio and just kills these records and goes crazy
Speaker 1: and they ploque up and they go stupid. I was
Speaker 1: the first one for them and like really open the fold.
Speaker 1: We went to Hawaii. He gave me his whole album
Speaker 1: look back at It was a song that was like
Speaker 1: we had that song for nine months so mebia Vice
Speaker 1: Presidlantic Records. I was able to hear the record. He
Speaker 1: was waiting on the sample to be clear. The song
Speaker 1: was actually five minutes and some change long. I took
Speaker 1: the record in Hawaii. I added the snaps to it
Speaker 1: and our restructure the record and made it a three
Speaker 1: minute record, and it was our first number one. Again.
Speaker 1: Kraig got might be the except to the ruble. We're
Speaker 1: not to sit there and act like these white executives.
Speaker 1: We having talent. They come on stop. Charlo Maine said that,
Speaker 1: and they be culturally cool. It's like a mother a
Speaker 1: time a lot of people. It's a lot of nepotism
Speaker 1: that go on with it, you know, like when one
Speaker 1: person get it up, they get a little homie the job.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, which is nothing wrong with that,
Speaker 1: as long as you qualify for the gig. You know,
Speaker 1: all right? We got more with Young Bird, a ka
Speaker 1: hit maker when we come back, don't move. It's to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club with, kicking
Speaker 1: it with Young Burg and get a hit maker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's talk about your project rights. You have thought Box
Speaker 1: out now, Yeah, thought Boxes came out. He thought Box.
Speaker 1: It's my serious all the time. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be an artistic Huh. You said you don't want to
Speaker 1: be antists, so colleague type thing. It's a producer album.
Speaker 1: So I have the pleasure to work with on thought Box,
Speaker 1: a Boogie, two Chains, meet mill while be in the Mirror,
Speaker 1: an Tiger all on the record. So it's all up.
Speaker 1: So I would assume that it's pretty easy for you
Speaker 1: to get anybody to be on your album because you
Speaker 1: work with a lot of these artists and they want
Speaker 1: to get some beats from you. So did you like exchanges? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we could, we could swap it out. That's what I
Speaker 1: did with everybody. Well, first and foremost a lot of people. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't got so much money and I didn't got
Speaker 1: so lit that I'm not really charging people, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like if I got a relationship with you,
Speaker 1: like a two change. I've known him since he was
Speaker 1: Titty Boy. His record with Ariana Grande ruled the World
Speaker 1: his last head. I did that. I didn't charge him though,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That's how I was able
Speaker 1: for him to get on my record, and everybody that's
Speaker 1: pretty much on that on that get your money from
Speaker 1: Royal to Yeah. I remember when def Jam asked me,
Speaker 1: I wish you be the single long too Change album
Speaker 1: and I said that and he was like, no, a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, they said anything but the Ariana Grande record,
Speaker 1: And look at it, it's about to get a clock
Speaker 1: right now. That's some of the people that don't know
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. Shout out to everybody at death Jail.
Speaker 1: Maybe they was going through you know, they just transition
Speaker 1: and they've been hiring and firing people a lot, so
Speaker 1: I mean maybe they were tripping and lost in the
Speaker 1: sauce on that one. What did it hit maker learn
Speaker 1: from young Bird? Bird made a lot of mistakes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: keep the right people around you, never do too much.
Speaker 1: You know, I was wilding back in the day, Like wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I was, you on drugs, are drinking a lot?
Speaker 1: Like what was it? I did extacy a lot back
Speaker 1: in the day, and you know, like it was good
Speaker 1: for me because I made all them hit records on it,
Speaker 1: and it was bad for me because you know, you
Speaker 1: get out of character when you're young and you just
Speaker 1: get millions of dollars out of nowhere, like and you
Speaker 1: don't have no ogs, you don't have nobody telling you
Speaker 1: what to do, what not to do, how to move,
Speaker 1: and how not to move, you end up in some
Speaker 1: young birds and hopefully you work hard enough to become hitmaker.
Speaker 1: You have the most random stories. I'm sure things that happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my life is a real, like for real. Worked a
Speaker 1: lot with Nicki Minaj. Yeah, what do you think about
Speaker 1: her coming out saying that she's retiring? Um, the thing
Speaker 1: is with Nikki, I think that people feel like she's
Speaker 1: going through something right now. But everybody's sitting in this room. No,
Speaker 1: that's just Nicki Minaj jo, Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Time she didn't curse me out and I said some
Speaker 1: of the craziest to me in the world. But on
Speaker 1: the oh she meek was gonna beat me up at
Speaker 1: one point when they was dating and all those Yeah,
Speaker 1: like she no, she called test eat it. I was
Speaker 1: on a Nikki hate train. And but my thing is, like, yo,
Speaker 1: how are you work for Atlantic? You know Atlantic had
Speaker 1: a plot? No? Absolutely absolutely not. And at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I cannot say nothing bad about Nikki because, yeah,
Speaker 1: she cursed me out and we did a lot of together.
Speaker 1: Like when I was when I was working with her,
Speaker 1: she really put her arm around me and really embraced me,
Speaker 1: and like I got a lot of cloud like a
Speaker 1: lot of cool points because I'm in nicki Mina studio
Speaker 1: every day. I ended up doing six records on her
Speaker 1: album and it was great time for me. Minus. But
Speaker 1: now that I got money and I'm rich, like I
Speaker 1: can't be taught. It won't be tolerated. Like talking to
Speaker 1: me like that, I can't do it. That's a huge
Speaker 1: you of being on the hate trank because you work
Speaker 1: for Atlantic. No, not at all. She was. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: was actually proud of me when I first got my gig,
Speaker 1: Like I told her, she flew me down in Miami
Speaker 1: because like for a while, like her and Meek were
Speaker 1: dealing with each other and I'm gonna keep it a
Speaker 1: hunted like Meek voted me off the island, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. At that time, it was his girl.
Speaker 1: I was in the studio all the time with it,
Speaker 1: and I just think that it was like, yo, he
Speaker 1: got to move around, so they removed me. I moved
Speaker 1: around and me and when they broke up, she hit
Speaker 1: me back and we ended up working a little bit.
Speaker 1: Why didn't remove you, I'm confused. Why did he remove
Speaker 1: you from the studio. It's just crazy time. Charlotte man,
Speaker 1: it was just real crazy time. So I thought that
Speaker 1: you was trying to get with Nikki. Wasn't justifiable, becauld
Speaker 1: you understand it. The truth of the matter is is
Speaker 1: that I didn't know him and Nikki were dating. Tried
Speaker 1: to no. So I would see Meek out and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go do this. I'm gonna go do this
Speaker 1: with with some holes or whatever. I didn't know they
Speaker 1: was dating. So I'm in the studio just talking like
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I've seen Meek earlier. You
Speaker 1: know this that in the third ball I was kicking it.
Speaker 1: She when snitched on me like it Like, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that they were dating at all, and that's how
Speaker 1: we got That's how it happened. But you would see
Speaker 1: Meek with girls. No, now you're wrong. Now you wrong.
Speaker 1: And Meek is my guy, So don't even do that.
Speaker 1: Meek was just at my birthday dinner. That's my dog,
Speaker 1: So don't even throw no. I say he was out
Speaker 1: in the club and Meek was in the companies. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: was in the clubs. Host Meek was there. He might
Speaker 1: not have been doing nothing, got using the club with
Speaker 1: some hosts. God, you cleared that up for you, bro,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm a woman wearing for me too, because
Speaker 1: Safari was actually around at the same time too, so
Speaker 1: like I would be in the studio with Nikki and
Speaker 1: Safari would be in the studio and then but she
Speaker 1: was I don't know. It was during that transition period. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a weird time. When did you make the
Speaker 1: decision like I guess fully commit to the hit maker. Um,
Speaker 1: I just realized that yo, Like, I got good product,
Speaker 1: but people didn't want it from me. They didn't want
Speaker 1: me to be the one that was delivering the message
Speaker 1: of delivering a song. So my first big ones were
Speaker 1: John by Rick Rossing Little Wayne. I was Grammy nominated
Speaker 1: for that. Shout out to a ke yep Um. Then
Speaker 1: my next big one was Tamar Braxton the one, and
Speaker 1: that's what prompted me to fly back and move back
Speaker 1: to La shout out to Vincent Herban and Tamar Braxton.
Speaker 1: You know that was that was a good look for y'all,
Speaker 1: for y'all, no boy like and Tamar It's funniest hair.
Speaker 1: It's funniest here with Tamark because after I gave her
Speaker 1: a hit like, she went on a rant that I
Speaker 1: didn't do this and I didn't do that or whatever.
Speaker 1: And then like I was at the b and my
Speaker 1: awards and like I've seen her and I touched her
Speaker 1: and she was like Vince, he touched me, and I
Speaker 1: just touched her on the shoulder, and y'all, I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: I just gave you a hit. And then from there
Speaker 1: when when she did it was just like, hi, bird dog,
Speaker 1: I don't want to look at no man with the mouth.
Speaker 1: Listen man, she didn't realize that you worked on the song. Oh,
Speaker 1: she knew Rest in peace les Sean Angles who just passed.
Speaker 1: She for sure knew that what I did and what
Speaker 1: my collaboration to the song was. They took my tag
Speaker 1: off the song. They went crazy on one in the end.
Speaker 1: I don't know. They ain't want to give me the credit.
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't. I wasn't big enough at that point,
Speaker 1: I guess. And then she all of my pictures on
Speaker 1: my likes, my comments, So I guess she want another
Speaker 1: bird for you. Is it better for you to like
Speaker 1: stay behind the scenes and just write and produce or yeah,
Speaker 1: why would I want to work as hard as they
Speaker 1: got to work? Yeah, Like I'm I'm I'm in a studio.
Speaker 1: You think I want to run around like for my
Speaker 1: single and for my stuff, I'm doing it strictly because
Speaker 1: they stay Young Bird with finish, He'll never have another
Speaker 1: hit record again. I went and I had hit records.
Speaker 1: Now I'm about to have a hit record with exactly
Speaker 1: not Young Bird no more. I mean, if I until
Speaker 1: I get a face off or something like that, I'm
Speaker 1: still gonna be me. You know what I'm saying. Huh

Speaker 1: Young Burg is hilly. Since you said that Levin hipp
Speaker 1: tried to destroy you, that was the whole situation with
Speaker 1: Mesica right where they said that you had attacked there,
Speaker 1: things had gotten physical. Have you guys resolved that situation?
Speaker 1: Since then, you and Mesica, Me and Mosica talk all
Speaker 1: the time. In fact, she actually came up here and
Speaker 1: told y'all and none of that happened, and Charlote Wayne
Speaker 1: was sniffing her seat and all that other. I remember
Speaker 1: that been a long time. I had to be about
Speaker 1: seven years ago, about ago, about six. Mosica wasn't famous
Speaker 1: seven years ago, BROI sniffing sea was about six years ago.
Speaker 1: Loving hip Hop was twenty and fourteen, so it was
Speaker 1: five years. But there were there were also rumors that
Speaker 1: she was dating Jeremiah at a period of time. I think,
Speaker 1: I don't know, So does that make you feel away
Speaker 1: knowing that was your ex? And then she dated Jeremiah? No,
Speaker 1: love Bird, This is this Hollywood like, so let's be clear,
Speaker 1: like the whole cast, I probably smashed the whole cast
Speaker 1: of Loving hip Hop when we was on it. It's
Speaker 1: mad women. I won't even say because I'm not a
Speaker 1: Kissing Tales type. Dude. I ain't say no names. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, like it's Hollywood. You know how it go? Man, y'all,
Speaker 1: you know it's kind of like we all say it's weird,
Speaker 1: but you know I'm not on that no more. I
Speaker 1: will not be dealing with any leftovers from any of
Speaker 1: my friends or colleagues that I work with. Just no,
Speaker 1: I will be important and exporting to doing something out
Speaker 1: the norm, because no, you most definitely don't disrespect the
Speaker 1: seeker like that man, that's it. I don't. We might
Speaker 1: have to go back and look at that footage. It
Speaker 1: exists because we live in this era. Like you see
Speaker 1: someone in the in and that you think that's it
Speaker 1: all the time, Like you know, you make little Mama cry.
Speaker 1: I watch I watch all the Breakfast club interviews. Yes
Speaker 1: you did. I was a while boy back there, black man,
Speaker 1: don't cheat. We've all wrong, We've all evolved, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We are different people. Good morning, Mochica.
Speaker 1: How are you? Yeah? I don't. I don't like him
Speaker 1: saying that. He said no, he just said that, you
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Maybe I don't know. I
Speaker 1: mean they did date. It was like him say that,
Speaker 1: I thought that was something that was known, Like I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Okay, So like, hey, guys, if you're
Speaker 1: dating and you're adult and then you're twenty nineteen, safe
Speaker 1: to say you didn't got some some action. I mean
Speaker 1: I wouldn't consider myself dating nobody. If I haven't slept
Speaker 1: with him, you might not want to give it to you.
Speaker 1: You might want Wait, you wouldn't be with somebody who's
Speaker 1: selling it. Nah. See, I got to smash the first
Speaker 1: night immediately because I don't Yeah, because I don't want
Speaker 1: to waste my time. What if you put in like
Speaker 1: two months in or something and not get something in it?
Speaker 1: The sexual chemistry isn't there. But record in the past
Speaker 1: two and a half years, I should't have for one
Speaker 1: of the eight and a half million records Charlotte eight
Speaker 1: number ones, so many top tens, I can't even really
Speaker 1: count them, but I mean before them terribly. That first
Speaker 1: night you asked for a do over. Do you ever
Speaker 1: have to apologize? It depends on how I feel about
Speaker 1: the chick, you know what I'm saying, Because like sometimes
Speaker 1: you know, it could just be like an in and
Speaker 1: out type situation, or if I really want to go in,
Speaker 1: I would I would catch a redo. Don't you feel
Speaker 1: like you have to represent in this climate because they'd
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I was with a hitmaker, and I
Speaker 1: don't know why they call him that because that hit
Speaker 1: did not make it. Nah. I mean, you got money,
Speaker 1: you might not have to hit it as hard as
Speaker 1: you think. So oh, come on, for real, people talk
Speaker 1: know how much they can say it about me. I
Speaker 1: do not care what nobody got to say about me.
Speaker 1: Run my check. I'm happy. I there people that you'll
Speaker 1: never forgive from during that era that might want to
Speaker 1: work with you, that are big. But you're like, I'll
Speaker 1: never work with that Trick. May No, it ain't no
Speaker 1: reason to work with Trick Trick or may Know anyway
Speaker 1: right now. I mean seriously, I mean, God blessed them
Speaker 1: both of that careers. But I never what people didn't
Speaker 1: know about the fact that I never met Trick Trick
Speaker 1: the day of my life. I don't know that, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know the people. And Mayno, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. He was He's a cool guy. Like I
Speaker 1: just think that that guy blown out of proportion and
Speaker 1: that was something that he kind of took and ran
Speaker 1: with it on a little press publicity type of thing
Speaker 1: or whatever. But there there's no reason to work with
Speaker 1: them though. Yeah, Charlotte Mane, you're trying to get me
Speaker 1: in trouble right now, he paused. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: listen to I like Mano music, I mean personally, I
Speaker 1: just don't feel like they're relevant to what's going on.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm catching the number one with them.
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave this out there because you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's grown, everybody's evolved. People woren't think you took a
Speaker 1: shot at me. Absolutely absolutely no. I have nothing but
Speaker 1: love for Mayno and Trick Trick. Those are things that
Speaker 1: happened over ten years ago. I cannot carry that type
Speaker 1: of energy with me. No disrespect, I respect everybody. There

Speaker 1: a girl? You gotta woman? Know, So I mean at
Speaker 1: some point, yeah, of course, at some point I got
Speaker 1: to settle down. I'm getting old. I gotta share these
Speaker 1: experiences with somebody that we Kevin allowed told me a
Speaker 1: long time it was to share your experience exactly, because
Speaker 1: like you can achieve all these goals and then get
Speaker 1: all this wealth and get everything, and then have nobody
Speaker 1: to share it with. And then you look back and
Speaker 1: just be like, damn, I just worked my whole life
Speaker 1: and now I don't got nothing. But I'm still young,
Speaker 1: so probably like thirty five. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1: right now, come on, don't do that, Charlotte. Man, it's
Speaker 1: the next thing right now? What kind of women are

Speaker 1: last time you asked to ask don't even do that.
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard dating, you know what I'm saying now,
Speaker 1: because it's like you don't know if the woman. See
Speaker 1: Charlotte Maagne's situation is different, your situation is different. You
Speaker 1: both known your wives for ever, so y'all really came
Speaker 1: from the mud together. Now meeting a chick like like,
Speaker 1: I love the star Tenders, I love the girls in Starlars,
Speaker 1: but I can't think that they can actually be one
Speaker 1: of my girlfriends. They don't know me. They're gonna catch
Speaker 1: me throwing money at them. In fact, I've never been
Speaker 1: in Starlars and none of them clubs either. I'm never
Speaker 1: going to your bar. I never give it lust lust
Speaker 1: that crazy like the most Bernies. She got a Starlars
Speaker 1: no more. No, they got new star tenders. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: got new one Bird. It's one cup name the cold
Speaker 1: as bad as one name Winny. That's bad and they
Speaker 1: all cool people. They got a Graham. Yeah what I'm
Speaker 1: just looking at your black man exactly what I would
Speaker 1: make a hit maker bird. Yeah, I appreciate y'all having
Speaker 1: me many. You didn't made it hot, you made it either.
Speaker 1: Go get your bible, bro, I'm just looking all right.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club? Is Bird hit maker? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: this is the rule of report with Angela Ye. Yes.
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith and Mark Keith Morris started going back
Speaker 1: and forth on Twitter, and it's over that butt slap
Speaker 1: from back in twenty seventeen. Right now, Stephen A. Smith
Speaker 1: was on the Breakfast Club and this is what happened.
Speaker 1: Have any athletes ever tried to hold your commentary against you?
Speaker 1: They don't try to press you, they do it every day,
Speaker 1: like I'm talking about like press you press you like physically. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a couple didn't you get smacked on the butt once? Oh?
Speaker 1: That was by Morris for the Washington Wizards. He just
Speaker 1: slapped me after they won a game. And you know,
Speaker 1: I thought nothing of it until a couple of days
Speaker 1: later he said publicly, well I just did that because
Speaker 1: that's all I could do. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, paying around, that's what you were doing.
Speaker 1: That's like that, like you were serious, like you really
Speaker 1: And I went on National teathy said, let that happen again.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Somebody smacked me on my butt.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to take that either. That actually happen.
Speaker 1: That happened to me, though, that happened. Remember when I
Speaker 1: was walking out the club and the god smapped me
Speaker 1: on my asses. You know, it's different. He's an athletes
Speaker 1: after a game, right, yeah. But Stephen A. Smith ain't playing,
Speaker 1: I know. But he didn't think it was a big
Speaker 1: deal at that time, you know, until he heard differently otherwise.
Speaker 1: So Keith Morris went on Twitter and says Stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith stopped being a tough guy behind cameras and Mike's
Speaker 1: have that same energy next time I see you like
Speaker 1: you had on the Breakfast Club. Gee. Stephen A. Smith responded,
Speaker 1: it ain't about being done tough guy, bro. I simply
Speaker 1: pointed out how I thought you were playing around a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and then you publicly stated what
Speaker 1: your real intent was afterwards to someone in the media.
Speaker 1: So I said, had I known, it wouldn't have gone
Speaker 1: down like that. Period, Boy, don't smack me on my ass, Okay.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so there was some back and forth about
Speaker 1: that afterward. But yeah, I guess anything physical, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like insulting. These guys are old. They ain't gonna
Speaker 1: be out there fighting. They would look so stupid out
Speaker 1: there fighting on the court. These guys are old, they
Speaker 1: are they're older. Stephen A. Smith is fifty years old.
Speaker 1: He look crazy out there fighting on the court. All right. Now,
Speaker 1: little baby is going to stop smoking cigarettes. That's good news.
Speaker 1: The reason why he's decided to stop smoking is because
Speaker 1: he got his new teeth. He got his veneers in.
Speaker 1: So he said he's determined today is the day I
Speaker 1: started smoking cigarettes. And he said, plus I got new
Speaker 1: teeth after the fact that it could give you cancer
Speaker 1: and kill you. But damn, you don't want to miss
Speaker 1: up the new teeth. Come on, a little baby, you
Speaker 1: definitely want to miss up the new teeth. But whatever
Speaker 1: it takes, I'm happy. I'm happy he stops smoking on
Speaker 1: Shout the little Baby, all right? And Terrence Howard said
Speaker 1: he's quitting acting after Empire. He said he's done. He
Speaker 1: won't be pursuing anymore on camera rolls. And that's that,
Speaker 1: he said, I'm done pretending. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's having a lot of issues in
Speaker 1: his personal life. I would hate to see him not
Speaker 1: act anymore. Though he's in some great movies. He's light skinned,
Speaker 1: he's like me, he's emotional. He overreacted. I'm sure he'll
Speaker 1: be back and say, you know what, it was a
Speaker 1: bad decision, a bad thought. He's just right now, like
Speaker 1: you said, he's going through right all right. Now, let's
Speaker 1: discuss Chance the rapper. Now. He did an interview. He
Speaker 1: was on Big Boy, and he talked about a lot
Speaker 1: of different things, including Cardi B and Nicki Minaj's beef.
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. A lot of that
Speaker 1: stuff is produced, like all the information the way that
Speaker 1: they phrase it to us, the way that you know
Speaker 1: that they pit people against it, And I think, I
Speaker 1: don't want to speak for them at all, but I
Speaker 1: feel like to a certain extent, they got pushed into
Speaker 1: that too. And I don't think that all of that
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent their feelings. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's manufactured. I mean, I think those two
Speaker 1: ladies had a disagreement somehow, some ways, something didn't connect
Speaker 1: and they just really don't like each other. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think that labels probably feel like they benefit off
Speaker 1: of it, if they definitely benefit off of the beef.
Speaker 1: But I mean, there's there's a lot of people. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's some people out there that you don't like eating.
Speaker 1: It's not manufactured. You just don't like them, and that's cool.
Speaker 1: We could be in the same It's not that it's
Speaker 1: not on that level though, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like when I don't like you, I just ignore you
Speaker 1: and you don't exist. You write me too, all right now. Also,
Speaker 1: he talks about being inspired to get married after a
Speaker 1: conversation that he had with Offset. He was like, everybody
Speaker 1: doesn't know this, but like this thing between me and
Speaker 1: Guardia isn't fake. We actually just got married in my
Speaker 1: backyard like a couple of weeks ago, and we didn't
Speaker 1: tell anybody. And this was before I got announced here, man,
Speaker 1: this was before like everything that's happened through their relationship.
Speaker 1: And he was like, this is my wife. This is
Speaker 1: like who I'm gonna be with for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life. So like, just keep it real with me
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do this. And I was like, before
Speaker 1: you said all that stuff, I wanted to do it,
Speaker 1: but now I'm gonna do it death and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: propose to my wife since Yeah, just being one hundred
Speaker 1: percent clear about it. Offset Yeah, definitely one of the
Speaker 1: big inspirations and me manning up, I mean that's what
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, you want to get married in
Speaker 1: the comfortability of your own house with your family around.
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at that. Yeah, And that's inspiring when
Speaker 1: somebody else, you know and respecting the business and has
Speaker 1: done something that influenced him. So there you have it.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, um Angela yee, and that is your
Speaker 1: rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when
Speaker 1: we come back, Charlemagne's giving somebody donkey today Charlemagne will
Speaker 1: give me that donkey too. Yes, what did young Charla
Speaker 1: always tell you? The craziest people in America come from
Speaker 1: the Bronx and all the Florida But Florida, you can
Speaker 1: breathe easy. Today the Bronx has stepped up to challenge
Speaker 1: the Crown. On this fine Friday, the thirteenth, we need
Speaker 1: a young woman named Abe Opinion to come to in
Speaker 1: front of the congregation. We'd like to have a world wader.
Speaker 1: I don't move. It's to Breakfast cloub God Morning, the
Speaker 1: breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hiring
Speaker 1: isn't easy, but there is one place you can go
Speaker 1: where hiring is simple and smart. That place is zip recruiter,
Speaker 1: where growing businesses connect to qualify candidates. Try it for
Speaker 1: free at zip recruiter dot com slash breakfast zip recruiter
Speaker 1: the smartest way to hire This don't be a dusk
Speaker 1: because right now you want some real It's time for
Speaker 1: Donkey of the Day. So if we ever feel I
Speaker 1: need to be a dark man, give me with the heat.
Speaker 1: Did she get a name? I had become Donkey of
Speaker 1: the Day, the breakfast Club. Bitchy, Yeah, donk you today
Speaker 1: for Friday, September thirteenth, Unlucky Friday the thirteenth goes to
Speaker 1: a woman named Ava Painia, am I pronouncing that right?
Speaker 1: Ava Painia. Now avas from the Bronx. And what did
Speaker 1: your uncle Shula always tell you about the Bronx? Okay,
Speaker 1: the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and
Speaker 1: all of Florida, and Ava is no exception because Avia
Speaker 1: is a sergeant for the NYPD. Now we all know
Speaker 1: some police officers can be crooked. All cops aren't crooked,
Speaker 1: but all aren't here to protecting the servisa all right,
Speaker 1: Some cops abuse their power. Some cops think they are
Speaker 1: above the law. With Sergeant Ava Painia abused her power
Speaker 1: of people. Not only did she abuse her power, the
Speaker 1: hypocrisy is real because Ava did something that she would
Speaker 1: usually lock somebody else for somebody else up for. Let's
Speaker 1: go to news to a Westchester for the report police
Speaker 1: NYPD sergeant suspended after going on an alleged shoplifting spree
Speaker 1: and west Chester Police. Instead of taking out her wallet
Speaker 1: to pay, Ava Painia stuffed about three hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: dollars ruth of items into her purse that happened at
Speaker 1: a Macy's in Yonkers. Authorities say she didn't get far, though,
Speaker 1: as she tried to leave the store, she was arrested. Painion,
Speaker 1: now facing penny larceny charge, was suspended without pay from
Speaker 1: her job as an NYPD sargeant. Now this is actually
Speaker 1: an indictment against an NYPD because Aba paying your clearly
Speaker 1: isn't making a lot of money. If she was, she
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to shoplift. And that's a travesty because public
Speaker 1: servants like teachers, cops, firefighters, they should be making top
Speaker 1: dollars and they don't, and that's a damn shame because
Speaker 1: it leads them to committing crimes like this. But I
Speaker 1: don't have any empathy for her, the same way they
Speaker 1: don't have empathy for people from the hood who sometimes
Speaker 1: have to take criminal chances to provide for themselves and
Speaker 1: their families. Now, I don't understand why Aba just didn't
Speaker 1: rob some drug dealers. All right, pull over some guys
Speaker 1: who got drugs on them, take their money and earn
Speaker 1: your three hundred and fifty dollars the good old fashioned copboy.
Speaker 1: Have you never seen training day? Now? I don't know
Speaker 1: how long she's been on the force, but to starting
Speaker 1: salary for an NYPD officers forty two thou five hundred
Speaker 1: after five and a half years eighty five thousand plus.
Speaker 1: So I totally understand why you probably needed to steal
Speaker 1: a lot of Macy's. But the law is the law.
Speaker 1: Now you got a petty larceny charge and desk appearance
Speaker 1: ticket all because you decided to steal from Tommy Hill
Speaker 1: figure pants, a beated guest shirt, and a lace guest dress.
Speaker 1: What do you think of that? Fit? Ye? You ain't
Speaker 1: that down down in Atlanta? For you know what's interesting?
Speaker 1: Tommy Hill Figure is back. Really. Yes, when I was
Speaker 1: actually in France, they had huge Tommy Hill Figure stores
Speaker 1: and everything everywhere. So people are into it. I think
Speaker 1: sen Days a Tommy Hill Figure spokesperson. Really, so excuse me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not mad at that now. Guests,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's bad. A beated guest shirt
Speaker 1: and a lace guest I don't know if beads and
Speaker 1: all of that is popping right now? Well add her
Speaker 1: fit to the reason she's getting donkey all right, some
Speaker 1: donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Aba
Speaker 1: Painia the sweet sounds of the Hamletones. Oh no you
Speaker 1: are dogee, oh gee, oh the day. Ye Now, I
Speaker 1: do want to say, we don't know that she wasn't
Speaker 1: stealing from these drug dealers. That is true, but if
Speaker 1: you were stealing from the drug dealers, you would have
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars to be able to go
Speaker 1: buy out of Macy's. Yeah, but maybe she just likes
Speaker 1: doing that Womania. Yeah, okay, could be but maybe or
Speaker 1: maybe she's just addicted to it, like she's dealing from
Speaker 1: these drug dealers. It's easy. Let me go to the
Speaker 1: store steal a little something. I understand the feeling. I
Speaker 1: still steal magazine is right right now. So now maybe
Speaker 1: you need to give yourself Donkey today a magazine. No,
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten caught, ye I get caught and arrested,
Speaker 1: then yes, I'll definitely give myself watch this guy all
Speaker 1: right now, coming up, my man, Malcolm Gladwell will be here. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you've ever read the Outlies, if you ever read Blank,
Speaker 1: if you ever read Tipping Point, if you ever read
Speaker 1: David and Goliath, he's got a new book out called
Speaker 1: Talking to Strangers, And I promise you this book is
Speaker 1: so necessary for the times that we live in, because
Speaker 1: none of us know how to communicate with each other.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking to Milcolm Gladwell when we come back.
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast club, The breakfast Club morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy We all the
Speaker 1: breakfast club. We gotta spell who guests in the building? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: my very old brother. He was born on the same day,
Speaker 1: September three as well. Wait, is there a connection that
Speaker 1: is crazy? I'm born on September third, He's born September three.
Speaker 1: Wax was born on September third. Charlemagne's assistant was born
Speaker 1: up Sember. I think one of my holy friends was
Speaker 1: born on September third. Napoleon was born in September th. Wow. Really,
Speaker 1: Malcolm glad Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Malcolm had the
Speaker 1: new book out man, and some books are good read.
Speaker 1: Some books and necessary manuals for the times that we
Speaker 1: live in. And that's exactly what I think. Talking to
Speaker 1: Scranges is man a manual for the times that we
Speaker 1: live in. What we should know about the people we
Speaker 1: don't know. I think this is your best work. Really,
Speaker 1: I think first and foremost. But what is this book about.
Speaker 1: It's well, it starts with the story of Sandra Bland,
Speaker 1: which is what inspired the book, and it ends with
Speaker 1: the story of Sandra Bland, and the middle is an
Speaker 1: attempt to figure out what happened because for some reason,
Speaker 1: I don't really have a good explanation why of all
Speaker 1: of those cases in that I guess it was like
Speaker 1: a three year run where all those cases were in
Speaker 1: the news. That was the one that got me. You demanded,
Speaker 1: Knox are used rock Turner. No, I'm talking about of
Speaker 1: all those of all those police from Michael Brown on,
Speaker 1: they were all horrifying in their own way, but that
Speaker 1: one I could not get that one out of my head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it was so I mean, it's the middle of
Speaker 1: the day in a you know, in a college town
Speaker 1: in Texas, a young professional woman driving down the street
Speaker 1: pulled over for no reason, and then it just completely unravels. Yeah.
Speaker 1: First they're there and the and the weird thing, of
Speaker 1: course of that case is that we have the whole
Speaker 1: thing is videotape, so there's no dispute about Usually in
Speaker 1: those cases, as a dispute, the officer says, well, you know, Blue,
Speaker 1: the other persons, Well, this one is like, we know
Speaker 1: exactly what happened, right, And so I decided, and I
Speaker 1: got obsessed with that tape, and I decided, it's so
Speaker 1: weird to think that this completely trivial encounter could spiral
Speaker 1: out of cont role and then in Sandra Blan being
Speaker 1: dead three days later that I decided it was sort
Speaker 1: of I also realized that that encounter was somehow typical
Speaker 1: that an awful lot of the big, high profile cases
Speaker 1: that we were obsessed with, we're all about the same thing,
Speaker 1: which is about strangers meeting each other and something going
Speaker 1: wrong and then misunderstanding each other, miscommunication. That's where that's
Speaker 1: where the book begins. You said that the death of
Speaker 1: Sandraw Blaine is what happens when a society does not
Speaker 1: know how to talk to strangers. Like, expound on that
Speaker 1: a little bit, Well, if you so. A lot of
Speaker 1: what I'm focused on the book is what are the
Speaker 1: ways in which we get other people wrong? What are
Speaker 1: the things that lead us astray? When we're meeting Song
Speaker 1: for the first time, And then that encounter with the
Speaker 1: thing that becomes clear, particularly if you listen the cop
Speaker 1: gives this deposition in journey investigation, and he is totally
Speaker 1: weird deposition. But it becomes clear that he's terrified of
Speaker 1: her because he becomes convinced that she's dangerous and he
Speaker 1: completely misreads what she is is upset, but he completely
Speaker 1: misreads someone's discomfort and anxiety and anger at being pulled
Speaker 1: over as threatening behavior. But doesn't everybody get upset when
Speaker 1: they get pulled on? Exactly? So wouldn't any cup feel
Speaker 1: like I think nobody's ever really that pleasant when they
Speaker 1: get pulled over, especially for something that lane change or
Speaker 1: whatever it was she got pulled over for. I felt
Speaker 1: like it was his ego because he didn't like the
Speaker 1: fact that she lit the cigarette right, and he didn't
Speaker 1: like the fact that she wouldn't get out of the car,
Speaker 1: because it felt like his ego wanted him to wanted
Speaker 1: her to just bow down to whatever it was that
Speaker 1: he was telling her to do, and she was challenging him. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he clearly he very quickly gets in over his head.
Speaker 1: But he gets in over his head, I think because
Speaker 1: he makes a series of very rapid assumptions about her
Speaker 1: that are completely false, right, And that's what it's that
Speaker 1: part of it. And also secondarily that he's been put
Speaker 1: in a position like if you go into that Cops history,
Speaker 1: you realize he was stopping everyone for everything. So this
Speaker 1: is not some random encounter for him. This is part
Speaker 1: of a practice not just of him, but of police
Speaker 1: officers in general. They are in there's a philosophy of
Speaker 1: policing that requires them to go out and stop anyone
Speaker 1: who looks even remote suspicious on the off chance they
Speaker 1: might be doing something wrong. If you do that, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get into trouble, right, You're gonna force You're gonna
Speaker 1: be put police officers in situations where they're they're required
Speaker 1: to make very rapid assessments of people that are going
Speaker 1: to be erroneous. And it's that kind of group of
Speaker 1: factors that interests me, and I think that shows up
Speaker 1: like I like Charlomie was saying, the book talks about
Speaker 1: rock Turner and Sandusky and Amanda Knox and Bernie Madoff.
Speaker 1: There are all versions of the same thing, which is
Speaker 1: people meet a stranger and they just totally get them wrong. Right,
Speaker 1: you really liked Bernie Madoff. Oh, I let that case
Speaker 1: is it's fastly on so many levels because it's like
Speaker 1: super super super smart people are people who consider themselves
Speaker 1: really really smart. We're completely taken invite, which I just
Speaker 1: find kind of hilarious, Like there's a certain superiority all
Speaker 1: among people on Wall Street. They you think they're above
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff, and truth is, they're completely
Speaker 1: not that the Friends fallacy would that be considered. But
Speaker 1: so yeah, I have a chapter chapter six, Chapter six,
Speaker 1: which is I start with an episode of Friends and
Speaker 1: point out that you can follow an episode of Friends
Speaker 1: with the sound off because every single emotion that any
Speaker 1: character of Friends has is displayed perfectly in her face, right,
Speaker 1: And I had a psychologist as an expert in facial expressions.
Speaker 1: Go through the episode, and you know, if Joey is angry,
Speaker 1: Joey's face looks angry. If Monica is like surprised, her
Speaker 1: jaw drops and her eyes grow wide, and we if
Speaker 1: you watch things like that, you get the impression that
Speaker 1: that's the way the real world works, that you can
Speaker 1: reliably predict how someone's feeling from their expressions. In fact,
Speaker 1: that's not the way the real world brooks at all.
Speaker 1: And this is a source of big trouble, particularly for
Speaker 1: police officers who have a whole series of things in
Speaker 1: their head about what guilt looks like, or what suspicion
Speaker 1: looks like, or what nervousness looks like if you avert
Speaker 1: your eyes. An incredible percentage of cops think that if
Speaker 1: the person they're talking to averts their eyes, it means
Speaker 1: that they are hiding something or they're guilty. That is
Speaker 1: not what it means. On friends, that's what it means, right,
Speaker 1: But in real life, people avert their eyes for all
Speaker 1: kinds of reasons. Sometimes there was an incredible remember that show,
Speaker 1: Remember Copsy, of course there's a guy as a psychologist
Speaker 1: who is hilarious Dudy where he looks at like four
Speaker 1: years of Cops episodes and he because in Cops you
Speaker 1: always know whether the persons who's being interviewed is guilty.
Speaker 1: You find out whether they're guilty or innocent. Right, So
Speaker 1: he looks and it compares the facial expressions of the
Speaker 1: guilty and the innocent people on Cops. It's real world
Speaker 1: camera's running, is not in some lab. It's like and
Speaker 1: what he finds is there's incredible differences in the way
Speaker 1: that guilty white people, black people, and Hispanic behave and
Speaker 1: also in credible differences in the way that that innocent
Speaker 1: white people black people in his banks behave. It's just
Speaker 1: different cultural ways of managing a situation when you're talking
Speaker 1: to a police officer, right, But so you can't have
Speaker 1: one fixed notion in your head about what innocence looks
Speaker 1: like if you're out in the real world where people
Speaker 1: are different at all. Even if I know I'm not
Speaker 1: doing anything wrong and a cop pulls up next to
Speaker 1: me or behind me, I get instantly a little nervous. Yea,
Speaker 1: even though I'm not breaking any law. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: anything wrong. I'm not on my phone, my seatbelts on,
Speaker 1: all my paperwork is right, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: they're about to pull me over. The opposite, I don't
Speaker 1: get nervous at all. I get more aggressive because I
Speaker 1: know I did nothing wrong. So it's totally two different situations.
Speaker 1: You know, I agree with you, But isn't that kind
Speaker 1: of dangerous on both sides, Like, because you can judge
Speaker 1: somebody off their demeanor, And a lot of times when
Speaker 1: you grow up in a certain environment, that is actually
Speaker 1: a survival tactic because a lot of times you are
Speaker 1: correct about people like you even speak about in the
Speaker 1: book how people cops can tell when somebody has a
Speaker 1: gun on them, Well, they think they can't. I don't
Speaker 1: know whether they're There was one cop who is really
Speaker 1: good at this back in the day, but he couldn't
Speaker 1: teach anyone how to do what he did. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I think there are very limited, rare examples of people
Speaker 1: that are good at that. But basically, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people in these professions are just way overconfident
Speaker 1: in your ability to read people. And that's we have
Speaker 1: to deal with that fact. I think if we're gonna
Speaker 1: if we're going to prevent these kind of cases in
Speaker 1: the future. We got more with Malcolm Gladwell, when we
Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's to breakfast Club. Good morning Morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Malcolm Glad Will Charlomage.
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about the Kansas City experiment a little bit,
Speaker 1: cause you talk about the fundamental misconceptions that police officers carry.
Speaker 1: It's not an individual problem, it's a system. It's a system.
Speaker 1: So this is this is something I've been like banging
Speaker 1: on a while on for a while and I thought
Speaker 1: of this, Actually, this is a little jandred in that
Speaker 1: when Donald Sterling is forced out as and it's because
Speaker 1: he makes those comments to his girlfriend right about how
Speaker 1: he doesn't want her posting pictures on him. And if
Speaker 1: Ramona Shelburn has this amazing podcast about the case, I
Speaker 1: listened to it and I was struck by the fact
Speaker 1: that Shelby Sterling as someone who, over the course of
Speaker 1: his career twice there were actions brought by against him
Speaker 1: by the Department Justice and by the on the because
Speaker 1: he was discriminated against black people in his housing developments,
Speaker 1: right in his apartment buildings. The NBA doesn't do a thing.
Speaker 1: No one says a peep, he's everyone's fine with it.
Speaker 1: Life goes on, and then he makes these comments to
Speaker 1: his girlfriend and boom, the world blows up. And Matt
Speaker 1: Barnes God Blessed makes the most interesting and intelligent point
Speaker 1: of an entire podcast, and he says, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: like we knew about this guy for twenty five years,
Speaker 1: and now you're getting upset. And it's it's this weird
Speaker 1: thing in society with a personal If someone personally is racist,
Speaker 1: we go crazy. But if they are systematically doing something.
Speaker 1: We're like fine with it, Like it is one hundred
Speaker 1: times worse if you don't let black people rent apartments
Speaker 1: in your building, then if you say something racist to
Speaker 1: your girlfriend, just as like it is a hundred times
Speaker 1: worse that there is voter suppression in Georgia. Then the
Speaker 1: governor of Virginia wore black face, Like who cares it?
Speaker 1: I mean, are we really surprised at a middle class
Speaker 1: a middle aged white guy from Virginia who was a
Speaker 1: frat boy in college at some point in his life
Speaker 1: was in black face in the seventies. I mean that
Speaker 1: does not surprise me, right, Like we got upset about that.
Speaker 1: But the fact that Stacey Abrams probably lost because of
Speaker 1: some really nasties, that's something that like fades away after.
Speaker 1: So there's this weird thing where stuff that's about systems
Speaker 1: just goes over our heads and personal stuff gets us crazy.
Speaker 1: We do it every day with Donald Trump. We do
Speaker 1: it every day with everything obsessed with the so in
Speaker 1: with cops. The real issue with Sandra Bland is, I mean,
Speaker 1: it is an issue that this guy is a racist.
Speaker 1: The larger question is that there is a philosophy of
Speaker 1: leasing that says it is legitimate for police officers to
Speaker 1: go everywhere, even neighborhoods with there is no crime, and
Speaker 1: stop people just because they believe in the back of
Speaker 1: their head there is a tiny chance they may be
Speaker 1: doing something that is a That's not something that individual
Speaker 1: cops do on their own. It is something they are
Speaker 1: taught to do, right, And that part that's the that's
Speaker 1: the outrage. Yeah, right, Who cares whether when this guy
Speaker 1: goes home at night, here's a Confederate flag on his wall.
Speaker 1: The issue is that there's a system that is that
Speaker 1: is in place, and I what I want to do
Speaker 1: with this book is kind of get our focus back
Speaker 1: on the on the systematic things that I agree with you.
Speaker 1: When you take somebody who when you when you have
Speaker 1: a system like that, but then you take somebody who
Speaker 1: maybe a racist or maybe a bigot, doesn't it make
Speaker 1: them easier for them to, you know, exert that racism people?
Speaker 1: It does. But I don't know. I always run up
Speaker 1: against this thing with racism, was which is so some
Speaker 1: percentage significant percentage of people, I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: no one does, but are probably on some level racist.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you do about that, right, like
Speaker 1: do you. I don't know how you get rid of them.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you changed their minds. All you
Speaker 1: can do is you can change the system in which
Speaker 1: they're operating, or you can so that their racism doesn't
Speaker 1: get hard. As much about your experience when Bernie Madeoff, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and how you had to sit down with him, and
Speaker 1: what your thoughts were, I sat down with, not with
Speaker 1: made off with the guy who caught Harry Marcopolis. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: who is you know? I think it can be said,
Speaker 1: a very weird dude. Um, so he's the He's the
Speaker 1: guy who, ten years before anyone else figured out that
Speaker 1: made Off was crook, he knew, Um, he sort of.
Speaker 1: But the problem with this guy, he's this kind of
Speaker 1: He's a hedge fund guy from Boston's super smart, but
Speaker 1: he's completely paranoid. And the reason he doubts made Off
Speaker 1: is he doubts everyone, but you don't. My point in
Speaker 1: that chapter is you actually don't want to be that guy.
Speaker 1: You don't want to live your life thinking everyone is
Speaker 1: potentially dangerous or batter. It's like, I think this guy,
Speaker 1: he strikes me as the most deeply unhappy, But you
Speaker 1: don't want to be the opposite either. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be that guy that trust and believes in everybody either,
Speaker 1: Why not, because that's what most people get got, That's
Speaker 1: what most people get scammed, That's what most people get
Speaker 1: taken advantage of our think. I think you could use
Speaker 1: common sense and like, I like to think that you
Speaker 1: trust people until they give you a reason. Not too
Speaker 1: some people look at it. I don't trust anybody until
Speaker 1: they until I know them better and I'll vet them out,
Speaker 1: and it takes a long time to earn your trust.
Speaker 1: But I feel like, Okay, what you show me is
Speaker 1: what I'll take it at face value until you prove
Speaker 1: to me otherwise. Yeah, I think I tend to err.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, you don't want to be completely
Speaker 1: gulpable you were. There's some middle ground here. But I
Speaker 1: really think that happiness lies on the I would rather
Speaker 1: be occasionally scammed and oh, you know, trusting than be
Speaker 1: on the other side of the equation and be sort
Speaker 1: of paranoid. What about can you get somebody based off
Speaker 1: how they treat other people? Well? So this actually this
Speaker 1: is an interesting question. So let's say you were journalists
Speaker 1: basis question. All the time you're writing a profile of someone,
Speaker 1: and you have a choice. You can either interview the
Speaker 1: subject of the profile for as long as you want, however,
Speaker 1: or you can never meet that person, which you get
Speaker 1: unlimited access to everyone in their life, all their friends,
Speaker 1: co workers. Which, if you want to write the most
Speaker 1: accurate picture of this person, which do you choose? I
Speaker 1: would say everybody else in their life? Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's that's a better shot at who they are, right
Speaker 1: because there you would meet someone for an hour. This
Speaker 1: goes to my point in the book. It's really hard
Speaker 1: to get to know a stranger quickly. You meet someone
Speaker 1: for half an hour in a job interview and they
Speaker 1: are putting on their best face, they're not being themselves.
Speaker 1: But if you had unlimited access to every all their
Speaker 1: former co workers, old employers, family, They're going to give
Speaker 1: you a far more nuanced picture. There's my last question.
Speaker 1: In chapter twelve titles Sandra Bland, you said, we are
Speaker 1: in that one to come to talking to strangers, and
Speaker 1: we think we can transform the stranger without cause the sacrifice,
Speaker 1: into the familiar and then known, and we can't. Then
Speaker 1: you ask the question what should we do? So what
Speaker 1: should we do when it comes to talking to scrangers
Speaker 1: making Gladwell we should be we should There is no
Speaker 1: easy First of all, it is no simple. Um, this
Speaker 1: is not a book that ends with this kind of person.
Speaker 1: It ends in a pretty dark place. But um, I
Speaker 1: think we have to be a lot more cautious in
Speaker 1: the judgments we make of others, and we need be
Speaker 1: a lot more humble in our in our understanding of
Speaker 1: how good we are at meeting people. So don't jump
Speaker 1: to the conclusion. You know, if you're a police officer
Speaker 1: and you're walking up to Sandra Bland's window and you
Speaker 1: think your face with this behavior you can't make sense of,
Speaker 1: don't jump to a conclusion that she's dangerous enough to
Speaker 1: get you right. Slow down, ask her questions, be a
Speaker 1: nice person. I mean, there's this is simply the lesson
Speaker 1: of all this is that we were just I don't
Speaker 1: know why we're in such a hurry to to to
Speaker 1: pigeonhole people and describe them and um and try and
Speaker 1: identify their patterns and behaviors. Because I gotta get these retweets,
Speaker 1: I gotta get these likes, Okay, I gotta get these
Speaker 1: Instagram comments before everybody else. That's why I gotta jump
Speaker 1: to conclusions. It's it's not it's not it's not healthy. Listen, man,
Speaker 1: this is a great book. I think this is the
Speaker 1: second most important book I read this year. That we're
Speaker 1: not second best, but like you know, I read two
Speaker 1: important books this year, Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, great ready,
Speaker 1: and this Talking to Scranges is a must read. So
Speaker 1: I think everybody should read it. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Don't you think it's your best work. I think it's
Speaker 1: my angriest work. M I didn't get that. I got concerned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't get angry. Well that's what I'm a very much.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a very mild Canadian. That's what anger
Speaker 1: looks like. A mild Canadian. You can't read it the
Speaker 1: same way on him as someone else exactly. All right,
Speaker 1: Well the book just came out, so we just got
Speaker 1: our copies. Thank you so much, Malcolm Gladwell talking to strangers.
Speaker 1: All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: It's about some report angela need on the breakfast Club. Yes,
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman says that he thinks ten to twenty percent
Speaker 1: of pro athletes are gay, and the NBA is ready
Speaker 1: for an athlete to come out. So he said he
Speaker 1: doesn't think that people will be shocked by an athlete
Speaker 1: coming out and will be supportive, saying, as long as
Speaker 1: he plays and performs doesn't even matter. Yeah, nobody cares, bro,
Speaker 1: if you if you, and I don't mean nobody cares
Speaker 1: about your life, nobody cares about your lifestyle. Like, well, no,
Speaker 1: people do care. Let's be clear you think so, yes,
Speaker 1: people are still getting beat up on the street, randomly
Speaker 1: killed gay slurs. Just post something and say that you
Speaker 1: come out and see all the people that comment under
Speaker 1: your picture and say nasty, mean things. So yes, people
Speaker 1: do care. Yeah, But in the NBA, it's a different
Speaker 1: ball game because these guys are millionaires. These guys can ball.
Speaker 1: If you can actually play ball, they're not gonna care
Speaker 1: if you gay in the NBA. I mean, look, in
Speaker 1: an ideal world that would be great. In the world
Speaker 1: that we live in, I don't think that's the truth.
Speaker 1: And then let's we click. Jason Collins, nobody knew his
Speaker 1: name until he came out. One of your former Brooklyn Natzier,
Speaker 1: nobody was. He came out and it was love. He
Speaker 1: got to play another year or two, all right, Now,
Speaker 1: Cardi B. She is leading the twenty nineteen BT Hip
Speaker 1: Hop Awards. She has ten nominations, so congratulations to her.
Speaker 1: That's a huge deal for Cardi B. Drake has seven nominations,
Speaker 1: and Kurti B. By the way, she won four last
Speaker 1: year at the BT Hip Hop Awards, so congratulations to her.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure she's gonna win a lot this year
Speaker 1: as well. Christie Emilion, she was talking about hacking into
Speaker 1: Nick Cannon's phone. You know what, It's crazy. When I
Speaker 1: used to work as serious a long time ago. I
Speaker 1: remember this story because Nick Cannon told me about it,
Speaker 1: and she has into his phone, and that had a
Speaker 1: lot to do with them obviously breaking up because he
Speaker 1: was doing a lot of stuff. Why are you talking
Speaker 1: about that now? Though she was sucking to she was
Speaker 1: on in news digital series just to sip, and she
Speaker 1: looked back at the time when she did that, so
Speaker 1: I guess it's just something that happened to her. She
Speaker 1: thought things were going well. I remember he was telling
Speaker 1: me about this. He was like filming a movie or something.
Speaker 1: One of them was out of the country filming a movie.
Speaker 1: And here's what she had to say. When I was
Speaker 1: dating Nick cannadite, like the passwords somehow worked on the
Speaker 1: sperm the first check and I was right, and then
Speaker 1: the next thing, you know, I was reading for like
Speaker 1: a month. I was reading messages. I was stuck in Romania.
Speaker 1: I had time, so I was like, I cannot bust
Speaker 1: him while I'm away. I need to bust him in person.
Speaker 1: So in the meantime, I'm gonna get my intel make
Speaker 1: sure that this was for real, for real. And it
Speaker 1: was for real, so it was enough. Yeah, she was
Speaker 1: in Romania filming something and he didn't think it was
Speaker 1: a big deal. I remember him discussing it. But I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's going to address it as well. All right, now,
Speaker 1: Kanye West, the new Yeazy's. A lot of people are
Speaker 1: laughing at those crocs, the Yeasy film runners. Yes they
Speaker 1: are crocs, crocs to me, you like them? No? Are
Speaker 1: you gonna wear them? No? But if they're comfortable, no? Oh.
Speaker 1: Let see, that's the different ball Now. It's a different
Speaker 1: ballgame because I'm at that age where comfortability means more
Speaker 1: than meeting how something looks. Did you get rid of
Speaker 1: those corns? I got? I got one shaved off my
Speaker 1: left pinky toe. But it's starting to come back. But
Speaker 1: she told me that was probably gonna happen. And when
Speaker 1: I got a shaved it was months and months ago,
Speaker 1: So I just need another shave. Okay, So you shave
Speaker 1: your toe, all right. So maybe those easy cracks might
Speaker 1: do the truck. Yeah, but they look stupid, all right.
Speaker 1: And Odep Beckham Jr. He is, as you all know,
Speaker 1: playing for the Browns Now and he talks about a
Speaker 1: situation where he said that Brown's players were instructed by
Speaker 1: their former coach Greg Williams to injure him during a
Speaker 1: preseason game in twenty seventeen. So he's going to be
Speaker 1: playing the Jets and right now, william still coaches his
Speaker 1: players to hit dirty in his current position on the
Speaker 1: New York Jets. According to Odell Beckham Junior, here's what
Speaker 1: he said, like your preseason, like nobody in the NFL
Speaker 1: is really out to do stuff like that. And you know,
Speaker 1: I had players on this team telling me that that's
Speaker 1: what he was telling them to do. Take me out
Speaker 1: of the game and his preseason you just you just
Speaker 1: know who he is. Well that's whack. Yeah, that is
Speaker 1: the fact that you can have done that and then
Speaker 1: get back into the league afterwards. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: that you truly love the support if you want to
Speaker 1: see the best players in the league or any player
Speaker 1: in the league, you know, get hurt on purpose, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, that's why, right, And by
Speaker 1: the way, why would you do it? Why would you
Speaker 1: do that as a players should be a cold amongst players, Like, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do because I don't want anybody to
