Speaker 1: one eighteen. I never stay up to watch the worst
Speaker 1: Coast games no more. Yes, I'm born in the nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: I need my rest. Teslin, good morning, Good morning, DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the God, and B Scott, Big Scot. Yes, let's start,
Speaker 1: let's get right into it. Justin J. Pearson was he reinstated?
Speaker 1: What happened with him in Tennessee? Yes, Justin J. Pearson
Speaker 1: was reinstated. Local officials unanimously voted on Wednesday to sin
Speaker 1: Representative Justin J. Pearson, one of the two black Democratic
Speaker 1: representatives who were out who was outstiff from Tennessee House
Speaker 1: of Representatives after a gun control protests on the House floor,
Speaker 1: back to his seat in the state legislature. Now, the
Speaker 1: vote came less than a week after mister Pearson and
Speaker 1: Justin Jones of Nashville were abruptly expelled, and now they
Speaker 1: are back. Remember earlier this week on Monday, they sent
Speaker 1: back Justin Jones, and so yesterday was the opportunity for
Speaker 1: mister Pearson to be voted back to be interim basically
Speaker 1: replace himself. Now, I want people to remember that this
Speaker 1: is temporary, both him and Justin Jones. They will still
Speaker 1: have to go through a special election. We don't know
Speaker 1: when that date will be at a general election. So,
Speaker 1: like we mentioned the other day in the interview, if
Speaker 1: you do support these two gentlemen, make sure that you
Speaker 1: don't forget about this story after this week, because they're
Speaker 1: going to need your support. Now, take a listen to
Speaker 1: Representative Pearson's victory speech and just a little bit of
Speaker 1: his victory's speech, and we'll discuss on the other side
Speaker 1: that's gonna change this country in this moment in time
Speaker 1: in the country. I'm so glad. So both Justin's are
Speaker 1: back in the Tennessee House. That is amazing. But let's
Speaker 1: not forget why they got expelled in the first place,
Speaker 1: and that was because they were pushing the line for
Speaker 1: common sense gun reform. I know those drums sound good,
Speaker 1: and I know those speeches sound good. Well, let's not
Speaker 1: forget what they got expelled for in the first place.
Speaker 1: That is the issue I speak Scott, what do you
Speaker 1: what did you think about it yesterday when they were
Speaker 1: I don't want to see performing, but in front of
Speaker 1: the in front of the state building, and they were
Speaker 1: playing the drums and they were talking about everything but
Speaker 1: what they got expelled for. Um. I felt like it
Speaker 1: was a circus. I felt like it was making a
Speaker 1: spectacle or something that we should be taking very seriously.
Speaker 1: And the gun reform in this country is something that
Speaker 1: you you know, mean, like it's like every day we're
Speaker 1: waking up to these mass shootings. It's like it's almost
Speaker 1: like groundhouse day every day, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's it's easy to not relate to it when
Speaker 1: it's not you, but you have to think, one day
Speaker 1: it's going to be you. That's right, He's not talking.
Speaker 1: I didn't see the whole speech, so I don't know
Speaker 1: if he was felt like his performance. Was he talking
Speaker 1: about gunning from I'm sure he was, because when you
Speaker 1: were on a breakfast club, he never got off message
Speaker 1: of we need to get comments his gunner for Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did talk about it. Um. But you know, his
Speaker 1: style of you know, delivery is you know, he's the
Speaker 1: son of a pastor. Uh and so you that's his
Speaker 1: style of delivery. And I'm glad you said that, be Scott,
Speaker 1: because you know, we did an interview with Justin Pearson
Speaker 1: the other day and you know a lot of folks
Speaker 1: may not like, you know, those questions being asked, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of going sticking to the the actual issues. Um.
Speaker 1: And I think the ear and I would love to
Speaker 1: talk about the interview recap quickly. The ear is so
Speaker 1: accustomed to the performance of it all. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that to be disingenuous to him catching the holy
Speaker 1: goals or you know, whatever emotion came with him. But
Speaker 1: we have trained our ears to prioritize politicians over people.
Speaker 1: You know, people have no problem with someone coming to
Speaker 1: the breakfast club and pressuring a rapper to ask you
Speaker 1: know who did you date last? And enforcing that are asking, hey,
Speaker 1: a reality show person, you know, tell us the tea.
Speaker 1: But when we have politicians, there has been a trained
Speaker 1: ear that is accustomed to listening to the filibuster. So
Speaker 1: when folks said, we don't tell, you kind of interrupted him. Well,
Speaker 1: that's a part of strategy. I've actually been doing this
Speaker 1: twenty years, believe it or not. The numbers, yes, let's
Speaker 1: do them, Let's do the man. I am the host
Speaker 1: of Straight Shot, No Chaser, and so a lot of
Speaker 1: times when you see politicians come, they're training a filibuster.
Speaker 1: If I say what is your black policy? You know
Speaker 1: they immediately going to well, you know, I black girls
Speaker 1: and black boys and black policy. Oh. People have not
Speaker 1: been a customer. And I just want to put it
Speaker 1: on the record for those that don't know me, because
Speaker 1: see me in this form be Scott where it's very
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a moderator when I'm doing the front
Speaker 1: page news. But just to be clear in case you didn't,
Speaker 1: I watched the five times that I came to breakfast
Speaker 1: club and we're interviewed. I prioritize people over politicians. I've
Speaker 1: been doing in my entire career. I'm not a Democrat,
Speaker 1: I'm not a Republican. I don't fangirl over politicians. I
Speaker 1: believe that they can recover from the interview, but black
Speaker 1: people cannot recover from four hundred years of oppression. I
Speaker 1: do believe. And I got a little past hallelujah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so absolutely we have to be very clear about that.
Speaker 1: And for the folks that don't know, I give the
Speaker 1: same exact energy, if not worse to white folks on
Speaker 1: Fox News. I duck no rex, I take all faiths.
Speaker 1: I will line them up, line them up, Democrat, Republican,
Speaker 1: across the board. So let there be no confusion on
Speaker 1: my energy and asking that young man the tough questions.
Speaker 1: But we also were very clear. The interview was saying
Speaker 1: that nobody should be expelled for their voice. You know, nobody.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have never been expelled. I was. I was
Speaker 1: basically saying, listen, we support you, but I cannot and
Speaker 1: I'll say this and I'll wrap it up when you
Speaker 1: every last story has said, you know, black black black black, black,
Speaker 1: black black elected official black and official. So I must
Speaker 1: be responsible and say, what are you doing for the
Speaker 1: sixty percent of black people? In your district. Right, that's
Speaker 1: a fair question. And I was hoping a brother will
Speaker 1: come back and say, hey, my district suffers x amount
Speaker 1: of you know, gun violence, and so me being out
Speaker 1: of that seat means that I can't help those black
Speaker 1: folks in my district. And so rather than people getting
Speaker 1: upset at me for asking where is white man Bob Freeman,
Speaker 1: who is not taking a stand, who actually who actually
Speaker 1: represents the victims who were slaughtered? Go ask where Bobby is?
Speaker 1: Don't ask why why I asked where Bobby is? But
Speaker 1: ask Bob, where is Bob? What you're saying is we
Speaker 1: should be able to challenge and critique any elected official,
Speaker 1: especially you know, if you voted for them, and if
Speaker 1: you upset, if you upset about us challenging democrats, y'all
Speaker 1: about to stay mad. That's right now and right, and
Speaker 1: don't never feel away because that's why your head like
Speaker 1: you know, like I was telling you early, behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: for myself, I'm surface political. I just don't dive into
Speaker 1: it like you know. I mean, when we talk real estate,
Speaker 1: I dive into it. When we talk about other things,
Speaker 1: I dive into it. You dive into it into But
Speaker 1: when it comes to that politics. This is what you do.
Speaker 1: You got the facts and that's why we trust you.
Speaker 1: So we appreciate you. So never back down to some cows.
Speaker 1: You got me riled up. Yes, we'll be doing all right.

Speaker 1: the room was what we're talking about. We're going to
Speaker 1: be talking about Jamie Fox being hospitalized for a medical complication.
Speaker 1: It's very good. This is the rumor report has been
Speaker 1: asking me quite on the breakfast club. I wasn't going
Speaker 1: to come to you, but I had it goes a
Speaker 1: little something like this, maybe we had to do. Yes
Speaker 1: the way back to my YouTube day. Absolutely, you know,
Speaker 1: I was one of the first YouTube celebrities. Yes, one
Speaker 1: of the first blog you know, celebrity bloggers, YouTube celebrities
Speaker 1: all that. Did you make money off you back then?
Speaker 1: I did. I was one of the first people accepted
Speaker 1: into their little partnership. Okay, but it wasn't much back then.
Speaker 1: I mean it was a couple of thousand dollars each month.
Speaker 1: Good opportunity. Absolutely. I mean, like I was going viral
Speaker 1: before that was a term. Wow, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like millions of yous. Like my very first video that
Speaker 1: I did went viral and I was talking about Shamar
Speaker 1: Moore being naked. I was so excited to see him naked.
Speaker 1: I was like, Chamara Moore's ding ding. I was so
Speaker 1: excited about it. It was the photos of him coming
Speaker 1: out the water on the beach I remember and the
Speaker 1: things that well, it really more months you want to
Speaker 1: see it more or less it was it was neither.
Speaker 1: It was kind of in between. Okay, that's about me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh this this took a shop writ It was like
Speaker 1: the sun get loved man, So dropping a clues bomb
Speaker 1: for oh there it is. Yes, okay little man, all right,
Speaker 1: what we are and where we are is this? This
Speaker 1: is something that hits home for me because this person
Speaker 1: is someone that's very special to me. Um. He actually
Speaker 1: gave me one of the biggest opportunities of my career.
Speaker 1: Early on, I had a serious XM radio show on
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox's Foxhole, the Best Guy Show. UM. And he
Speaker 1: did it at a time where no one you know,
Speaker 1: I came before the inclusion you see today. So you know,
Speaker 1: everyone now is getting on the you know, the bandwagon
Speaker 1: and being more accepting. But back then, what he did
Speaker 1: was huge because no one was trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: give opportunity like that to someone like me. And so
Speaker 1: I will forever be grateful to Jamie Fox. And so
Speaker 1: when I heard that he had a medical complication and
Speaker 1: a medical emergency, that really affected me. And you know,
Speaker 1: that's what happened so over I think the last couple
Speaker 1: of days. I don't know what date exactly it happened,
Speaker 1: but he suffered a medical complication. His daughter Kreeing Fox,
Speaker 1: she posted this note We wanted to share that my father,
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to
Speaker 1: quick action, great care, he is already on his way
Speaker 1: back to recovery, healing energy to Jamie Fox. And I'm wondering,
Speaker 1: man only really getting that old, yes where at that
Speaker 1: age where people around us are having medical complications or
Speaker 1: medical emergencies. I'll be honest, asking away from strokes and attacks.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the age. I think it's something else.
Speaker 1: It's probably the process food. It's something else because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of brothers out there and a lot of
Speaker 1: sisters out there that are getting these complications a lot
Speaker 1: earlier and earlier and earlier, and it's scaring the issue
Speaker 1: out of me. And it makes me think, what you know,
Speaker 1: because they she said, due to quick action. So if
Speaker 1: they didn't act quickly, what would have happened? So it
Speaker 1: makes you think something something sudden. It would have to
Speaker 1: either be like a stroke or a heart attack or
Speaker 1: something of that nature. I mean, I hate to kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, speculate about somebody's health, but at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, like what would require quick action, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's just like so unexpected because you know, you
Speaker 1: think you know you it's like, wow, like Jamie, you
Speaker 1: see him, he seemed so healthy. You would never expect
Speaker 1: a medical complication out of nowhere. I told y'all, over
Speaker 1: the last few months, I did every single cardiovascular test
Speaker 1: you could possibly do. I did discress tests, I wore
Speaker 1: a heart monitor, I did the I can't remember the
Speaker 1: technical term for where they put like the ink inside
Speaker 1: you because so they can see inside the audi, the
Speaker 1: calcium test. I did all of that just to make
Speaker 1: sure and that you know, yeah, I would say, And
Speaker 1: that still doesn't matter, because in any given moment, anything
Speaker 1: could happen, some stuff like my calcium was seventy six
Speaker 1: and you know they wanted to be zero. And plus
Speaker 1: heart disease runs in my family, so and then um,
Speaker 1: I had a little cholesterol. I mean. And for example,
Speaker 1: like my long time podcast producer of ten years passed
Speaker 1: away in like a month, like literally he was in
Speaker 1: the hospital at the first of the month and was
Speaker 1: dead by the end of the month, leukemia. I had
Speaker 1: some type of rare form of multiple something something something leukemia.
Speaker 1: And that affected me because of the fact that, like
Speaker 1: you know, he was literally one of the nicest people
Speaker 1: I've ever met and believed in me. Our last meeting
Speaker 1: I had with him was him he got a new
Speaker 1: job and he didn't know how he was going to
Speaker 1: help me, but he just wanted to meet about the
Speaker 1: potential of helping me. And he was forty I think
Speaker 1: forty one. We tell everybody, definitely go to the doctor
Speaker 1: and you get yourself checked out, and we talk about
Speaker 1: you know, Charlemagne and I joke about, you know, getting
Speaker 1: checked out, and I don't joke about it, Yes, and
Speaker 1: we talk about it. But you know, like I said
Speaker 1: that they found they found what two polyps and and
Speaker 1: you know, they got him removed from me, and one
Speaker 1: of them, you know, could have been cancerous. I had
Speaker 1: no polyps, no, no nods. Yes, And oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: we didn't have time to get to my exclusive, but
Speaker 1: we will be dropping a Housewives of Atlanta exclusive in
Speaker 1: the next hour. You got friends on that show. I

Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co
Speaker 1: host Bet Scott with us this morning. I know that's right,
Speaker 1: and let's get in some front page news. Teslager, good morning,
Speaker 1: Good morning. How are you feeling. I'm doing good. I'm
Speaker 1: distracted by Charlomagne's fan though, shout out the flame row.
Speaker 1: You already know yes, she said to make sure. She said,
Speaker 1: you could you use the the one where she's naked
Speaker 1: on it, So she said, you could on that one,
Speaker 1: the one behind you. She I'm using this fan because
Speaker 1: it's hot, Okay, okay, whatever, that's what I'm using. Some
Speaker 1: front page news. The NBA got, of course, to play
Speaker 1: in tournament. The Bulls beat the Raptors last night one
Speaker 1: or nine, one on five, the Thunder beat the Pelicans
Speaker 1: one twenty three, one eighteen. Now, tell what is going
Speaker 1: on in Mexico? Is Mexico sto. I just got back
Speaker 1: to Mexico. I was in nine days and it was
Speaker 1: I didn't have no problems. You're right, we all had security,
Speaker 1: were staying in a gated place. And where were you
Speaker 1: in Mexico? We was like twenty minutes outside of KENCOO. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: We urged you not to go, and we did. And
Speaker 1: the reason why is because it was actually when this
Speaker 1: story actually happened. So I want to give an update
Speaker 1: on that because many of you remember the story that
Speaker 1: we saw, you know, all over social media, where the
Speaker 1: four black Americans were kidnapped in Mexico. So when that happened,
Speaker 1: we talked about it here on the Breakfast Club, of course,
Speaker 1: and so there's been an update on the again. The
Speaker 1: four black Americans that were kidnapp LaTavia Washington McGee, Eric Williams,
Speaker 1: Shadid Woodard, and Zendale Brown. They were attacked and kidnapped
Speaker 1: by the Mexican cartel on March third, while they were
Speaker 1: on their way to a medical appointment. One of the
Speaker 1: things I found really frustrating about this is online people
Speaker 1: were kind of making up their own stories, saying, you know,
Speaker 1: they must have been up there selling drugs and donte
Speaker 1: and they just kind of remember that they just ran
Speaker 1: with it. So now they've come back to tell their story.
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, they confirmed that they were
Speaker 1: driving across the US border, saw a gun in the
Speaker 1: car there, beginning a shootout began. Three of them were shot,
Speaker 1: then they were loaded into the truck at gunpoint. Now
Speaker 1: McGee said that they kept promising to give medical attention
Speaker 1: to the victims that were shot, but unfortunately waited too late.
Speaker 1: Two of them passed away, and Eric Williams did survive.
Speaker 1: They eventually gave him medical attention for his leg. Now,
Speaker 1: both McGee and william sat down with Anderson Cooper on
Speaker 1: CNN to give an exclusive interview about the horrific experience.
Speaker 1: Take a listen. Were they threatening to you and violence
Speaker 1: and sexual violence and they're trying to make us have
Speaker 1: sex with each other but brother and sister and that
Speaker 1: she was pregnant. What did they say to you? They
Speaker 1: was like, what are y'all? We said brothers and sisters,
Speaker 1: and they was like, have sex with each other. I
Speaker 1: was like, no, these are my brothers. I'm pregnant. They
Speaker 1: I don't know. They had me blindfold covered up. They
Speaker 1: took me a little piece. We switched vehicles. They put
Speaker 1: us in another vehicle, and then they covered me up
Speaker 1: and we rode a little bit and then I just
Speaker 1: know they backed in somewhere that took me out and
Speaker 1: took me in a room and I saw him and
Speaker 1: some more people. There were other people, people who was
Speaker 1: capping that Mexico way just a damn minute, Like I
Speaker 1: must have missed that part they wanted them to have
Speaker 1: sex in the world. Yeah, definitely, Um, go watch the
Speaker 1: full interview. It I mean, it's it's really like just
Speaker 1: jaw dropping. And one of the things they talked about
Speaker 1: at the end of the interview is that the cartel
Speaker 1: said that there was nothing they could do to bring
Speaker 1: the two brothers back. The guy that that eventually released them,
Speaker 1: he told her, you know, hey, I know they're gonna
Speaker 1: kill me for releasing you, he said. But he did
Speaker 1: apologize that the wrong call was made, that the person
Speaker 1: was high and drunk and basically made the wrong call.
Speaker 1: They eventually dropped the survivors off at a wooden shack
Speaker 1: where they were rescued on Mark seven. And again, what
Speaker 1: they've done. The golf cartel has basically issued an apology
Speaker 1: for the incident and eventually handed over other five other
Speaker 1: members that they kidnapped to local authorities. So we have
Speaker 1: no idea why they're doing this. They said somebody was
Speaker 1: high and drunk and made the wrong call. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: at first they said that they thought they were Haitian
Speaker 1: smugglers and that was the wrong call. But you know,
Speaker 1: I have a question because when I was in Mexico,
Speaker 1: people were telling me that it was certain areas that
Speaker 1: in Mexico that they tell people don't go to, like
Speaker 1: you know, certain places of no matter where you go,
Speaker 1: they say, don't go in that area. It's not a
Speaker 1: tourist town. It's not friendly the tourists. So if you're
Speaker 1: in those areas, be very careful. Even when I go
Speaker 1: to Jamaica sometimes, you know, my wife is from Kingston.
Speaker 1: Like they even tell us like, don't go to certain
Speaker 1: parts because you know, it's it's not run by government,
Speaker 1: it's run by the local cartels, you know. But recently
Speaker 1: it seemed like, I mean, it's like a coo poco
Speaker 1: and tuloom, Like it's like all these shootings, people getting killed.
Speaker 1: I mean, like at the resort near the resort, I
Speaker 1: don't don't you can't pay me to Mexico. I wonder
Speaker 1: if this is any backlash to how they think some
Speaker 1: Americans may feel about Mexicans because of the rhetoric that
Speaker 1: comes from you know, Trump, Donald Trump's in the world.
Speaker 1: You think. I don't wanted to guess make an assumption,
Speaker 1: but I guess when we look at what's happening with
Speaker 1: Mexico in general, you know, uh, and not not pursuing
Speaker 1: justice or you know, if there is some type of
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to make up a conspiracy,
Speaker 1: but I just think that Mexico was Mexico and they're
Speaker 1: going to handle their business as such. And I know,
Speaker 1: a be Scott, you wanted to talk about Mexico as well. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and you know Whybably on the topic of Mexico, there
Speaker 1: has been an update on the Chicuela Robinson death. UM.
Speaker 1: The US federal prosecutors have decided not to pursue charges
Speaker 1: because they found insufficient evidence. Really yeah, yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 1: that's what's so disturbing. We literally saw this woman get
Speaker 1: murdered by her friends, UM and the Mexican you know officials. UM,
Speaker 1: when they performed the optopsy, they did see that she
Speaker 1: had a broken spine as well as other injuries. Mexico
Speaker 1: does want to extradite the person they feel is responsible
Speaker 1: for her death. There is no news as to how
Speaker 1: the US will respond to the extradition. Mexico wants to
Speaker 1: pursue what they call demiside charges against a friend. Demisides
Speaker 1: the crying to find his intentional murder of women because
Speaker 1: they are women. Yeah, but right now they're not doing anything.
Speaker 1: So to answer your question, Charlemagne, the US I talked
Speaker 1: to Attorney Crump just about five minutes ago, and he
Speaker 1: said they are demanding they're going to the White House.
Speaker 1: Shout out to until freedom, my sister, to make Mallory
Speaker 1: over there and they're demanding that the US does something.
Speaker 1: So to your point about is this backlash, Well, again,
Speaker 1: Mexico wants to arrest the murders of Miss Robinson. Why
Speaker 1: is the Biden administration? Are they going to extradite these
Speaker 1: individuals too, you know, so that they can receive justice.
Speaker 1: So I want to point that out that on March nineteenth,
Speaker 1: it will be two hundred days since Miss Robinson has
Speaker 1: been murdered. And again they have said that if things done,
Speaker 1: they'll be preparing to protest the White House. And I
Speaker 1: also think that it ties into how I guess feel
Speaker 1: like black lives are not valued as much as white
Speaker 1: lives because if there was a white woman they got
Speaker 1: murdered in Mexico, trust and believe there will be some
Speaker 1: type of justice for that. And I was gonna they
Speaker 1: totally dropped the ball. Does the US usually extradite to
Speaker 1: to other countries like that? Because you never really hear
Speaker 1: the US sending people out. You always hear people sending
Speaker 1: people back, but you never really hear US sending people out.
Speaker 1: Is that normal practice? Great? Great point, um DJ, because
Speaker 1: that's what a turning crout literally said this morning, said,
Speaker 1: they typically, you know, they don't. That's not something that
Speaker 1: they typically do. Um. But again, you know when we
Speaker 1: see something you know on tape, uh and we see that,
Speaker 1: you know, people the family is demanding justice and you
Speaker 1: know again and this goes into the culture of like
Speaker 1: will be Scott mentioned, you know, black lives and how
Speaker 1: do we prioritize things and if there was a white woman,
Speaker 1: would it you know, would they do something different? So
Speaker 1: it's it's a part of a larger conversation on trying
Speaker 1: to get some level of justice for black folks. So
Speaker 1: it's not something that is typically done, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that it can't be something that that can't happen.
Speaker 1: Gotch damn Man, Well, thank you so much. Test. We
Speaker 1: appreciate you absolutely and make sure that you subscribe to

Speaker 1: be joining us. Man, how we used director of he
Speaker 1: made three of my favorite mane Society, A Minute Society.
Speaker 1: That's one book, Eli Washington and Dead President and Dead President. Yes,
Speaker 1: and of course he has a new documenteries. It is
Speaker 1: called Dear Mama, based on Tupac and his mom. And
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to him next a right, so don't move.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. And our co host be Scott said,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
Speaker 1: a special guests in the building. A legend Alan Hughes. Welcome, brother,
Speaker 1: Thank you. How are you, sir? Good good? One of
Speaker 1: the legendary Hughes brothers, one of them. You're here, I
Speaker 1: mean you're here promoting the new FX series Dear Mama. Man,
Speaker 1: But you have such a long yeah, before we get
Speaker 1: to the beginning. How you got into this business being
Speaker 1: from Detroit, Midwest kids wanting to go to California, wanting
Speaker 1: to you know, I thought we thought we were going
Speaker 1: to be actors. These big noses and no talent didn't
Speaker 1: work out. Okay, you know in the eighties, remember when
Speaker 1: we have the home video boom. You go to the store,
Speaker 1: they'd had those cameras, and so we just started making movies.
Speaker 1: Or twelve, my mother was trying to keep us out
Speaker 1: of the streets, and we knew we just caught a bug.
Speaker 1: We took a camera at twelve and just start shooting movies.
Speaker 1: Not skate videos, not BMX videos, just start shooting movies.
Speaker 1: And that's how it started tea. We were doing spoofs,
Speaker 1: you know, like our favorite shows at the time where
Speaker 1: Leonard Nimoy is in search of We would do spoofs
Speaker 1: of that, the Johnny Carson Show, and then we would
Speaker 1: do a bunch of cocaine themed scarface type things, a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of baking what is it called dope,
Speaker 1: getting a lot of dough on our nose is doing
Speaker 1: scarface scenes. But we eventually worked our way into around
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen, got lucky enough to get some music videos,
Speaker 1: and one of our first music videos was for the
Speaker 1: spinoff group of Digital Underground, Raw Fusion with Money B
Speaker 1: and that's when we met Tupac and it was our
Speaker 1: first music video. Tupac was in our first music video.
Speaker 1: So we were fortunate enough that we dropped out of
Speaker 1: high school after a bunch of Burger king type jobs.
Speaker 1: Landed a couple of music videos. In the first one
Speaker 1: was a pretty much digital underground without the first connection
Speaker 1: with absolutely It was a waffle house in San Francisco
Speaker 1: where we had to go meet the group for the
Speaker 1: first time. He shot g everyone's there, and I remember
Speaker 1: being very taken with this kid at the end of
Speaker 1: the table that was unknown at the time. Just funnies,
Speaker 1: just the funniest guy. He was roasting everyone at the table.
Speaker 1: Went to the bathroom. He came in and he says,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I saw you guys are short films.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have my record label hire you
Speaker 1: to direct my music videos. I'm like, come on, you know.
Speaker 1: But the next day was our first music video shoot,
Speaker 1: our first professional job, and I just kept asking everyone
Speaker 1: wentz Tupac showing up, wins Tupac showing up because we
Speaker 1: did a little scene before the music video. It's called
Speaker 1: throw your hands in the air, and he showed up late.
Speaker 1: I waited for him and put him right in the
Speaker 1: middle of the scene and you'll see this music video.
Speaker 1: He's right in the middle of that scene. And that's
Speaker 1: how our relationship began and what would those he's like
Speaker 1: because you know, he became a dynamic actor. Y'all know,
Speaker 1: became dynamic film director. Did y'all have conversations about doing
Speaker 1: bigger things like movie even then? Yes, you know with Tupac,
Speaker 1: I think when I think back now, because I was
Speaker 1: forced to with this documseries, the level of intensity and
Speaker 1: passion was always like matched with me and my brother
Speaker 1: and him, and we were always talking about doing movies.
Speaker 1: We were talking about doing movies together. It wasn't just
Speaker 1: this music thing, but Tupac always kind of searching for
Speaker 1: that father figure. Um at one point got in with
Speaker 1: John Singleton, and I remember when he broke our hearts
Speaker 1: because he he says to us when we wanted him
Speaker 1: for minutes, he says, I won't I won't star in
Speaker 1: the movie, which we didn't want him to. It goes
Speaker 1: me and John have made a pact that our only
Speaker 1: starring John Singleton films. We're gonna be like Robert de
Speaker 1: Niro and scored Sacey. Wow. And but I saw what
Speaker 1: was happening with him because he always had that like
Speaker 1: looking for that big brother, and he made that connection
Speaker 1: with John, and I remember it hurt our hearts. Um,
Speaker 1: and because we had plans and that was that why
Speaker 1: y'all never made that pack. Yall should have yall should
Speaker 1: have made that back. I did John just get to
Speaker 1: it first? Its first. Well, you know, John was bigger
Speaker 1: at the time we had made a movie. John was
Speaker 1: coming off Boys in the Hood going into Poetic Justice
Speaker 1: with the second film. If I'm not mistaken, right, So
Speaker 1: you got Janet Action, you got John Singleton, Oscar nominated.
Speaker 1: We're just some guys that made some music videos. We
Speaker 1: hadn't made Minutes yet. I always wondered how much did
Speaker 1: Boys in the Hood inspire Minutes of Society, because in
Speaker 1: my mind I can't remember how the time difference between
Speaker 1: those movies, but it feels like they were just two
Speaker 1: similar type of stories didn't inspire it at all, except
Speaker 1: for one. In one regard. We had this idea since
Speaker 1: we were fifteen. So by time we were in nineteen
Speaker 1: and Boys was catching all this heat and this attention.
Speaker 1: We had gotten an early copy of it because they
Speaker 1: in music video days, you would get the film, and
Speaker 1: I remember being bummed because the marketing and Cube at
Speaker 1: the time, remember how massive Cube was. He just left
Speaker 1: in wa and it just seemed everything was perfect, you know,
Speaker 1: and I saw the film and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is not what we want to do. This is
Speaker 1: more of a positive version, was way Gridia. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So it just made us double down on like, oh no,
Speaker 1: we gotta be more gangster with ours. And then we
Speaker 1: saw a film called American Me you've seen American We
Speaker 1: rewrote Menace. He saw that rerewrote Menace Like that changed
Speaker 1: everything for us. What part was part supposed to play
Speaker 1: in Menister? He was supposed to play Sharif the Muslim,
Speaker 1: the Muslim Muslim brother and you know they're in the problem.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to be the Muslim brother. He wanted
Speaker 1: to be old. You know. What's what's interesting is by
Speaker 1: the time, let me back up a second, and a
Speaker 1: Muslim brother had a big partner in Menister. He did.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a small part. I back up a second.
Speaker 1: When we were doing music videos with Tupac and I
Speaker 1: think our relationship, our friendship, our intense friendship, lasted maybe
Speaker 1: nine months. One day I picked him up at the
Speaker 1: Birdbank Airport, him and his brother Mopreme, and we went
Speaker 1: to the Paramount lot and it was the first time
Speaker 1: he saw Juice And I never even knew about Juice,
Speaker 1: and I just remember he had like one or two
Speaker 1: tattoos at the time. He didn't, he wasn't tatted up,
Speaker 1: he wasn't whatever. I remember, everything changed after he saw Juice,
Speaker 1: after he saw himself in Juice. A lot of people
Speaker 1: saying that he say after he changed after he played Juice,
Speaker 1: after he saw himself in Juice. I saw it when
Speaker 1: he saw it. What I didn't know at the time
Speaker 1: was he was was aware of what the critics were
Speaker 1: saying about him, because you get the early reviews, so
Speaker 1: he knew going in that this was well reviewed for him.
Speaker 1: But I saw a change. He saw script, he saw
Speaker 1: a thing happening. Because I always say Tupac signed his
Speaker 1: record deal three years too late. If you think about
Speaker 1: what he represented as far as like social justice, black power,
Speaker 1: all that stuff, that was eighty eight. That's eighty seven.
Speaker 1: He signed his dealing ninety one, you know, for life
Speaker 1: albums at the top of the charts, And I think
Speaker 1: it he was always struggling with like, damn, this is
Speaker 1: what's hot now. It's not who I am but this
Speaker 1: gangster now. And I saw that struggle in him. But
Speaker 1: when he saw Juice, just you can see it in
Speaker 1: his actions after that leg I can't claim that, you know,
Speaker 1: when you look at his death row Era and you
Speaker 1: look at that persona, you you know some of that
Speaker 1: must have been in him, because like with any great
Speaker 1: performer or any great actor, you can't you can't play
Speaker 1: something that's not something that in you, you know. But
Speaker 1: I think Tupac was a true artist. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: like empathic too, and sensitive and can take in anything
Speaker 1: and become anything. Um And I think unfortunately he got
Speaker 1: cut down in the progression of becoming a man early,
Speaker 1: you know, at twenty five. How if any of us
Speaker 1: got removed from this earth at twenty five, I mean,
Speaker 1: what a shame because we're not fully formed yet seeing
Speaker 1: full frontal cortex, don't even developed a twenty five I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the pox stuff. But you literally
Speaker 1: made like three of my favorite movies of all time.
Speaker 1: But I think about that end scene of minutes when
Speaker 1: you hear Kine's heartbeating, you know, and he's questioning himself,
Speaker 1: like I can only imagine that's probably how it is
Speaker 1: when you're dying from gunshot. You're like, damn, I wish
Speaker 1: I would have made another choice. But I guess now
Speaker 1: is it's too late. Like that ain't make me want
Speaker 1: to thug out. And they say, you know, when I
Speaker 1: was studying for Dead Presidents, call you call out for
Speaker 1: your mama. That's the number one thing you call out
Speaker 1: for when you're when you're dying in Vietnam, that was
Speaker 1: a number one thing. And they say, Tupac, the first
Speaker 1: thing he said when he got shot was he called
Speaker 1: out for his mother. Wow. And you know that's where
Speaker 1: I think you do go there? All right, well we
Speaker 1: come back. We got more with Alan Hughes, whom the
Speaker 1: Hughes brothers, you know him, the director. He directed Minister Society,
Speaker 1: Book of Eli and now Dear Mama. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: to him some mores to Breakfast Club the morning morning
Speaker 1: everybody is dj n V. Charlemagne the guy we are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. B Scott, our co host is here
Speaker 1: and we're still kicking it with Alan Hughes. Now you
Speaker 1: know Alan Hughes, he's a director. He's directed Minister Society,
Speaker 1: he's directed Book of Eli, and now he's doing Dear Mama,
Speaker 1: the Tupac docuseries. Did you know when you started casting
Speaker 1: for Minister Society? We're gonna talk about everything. But did
Speaker 1: you know Lorenz Tape was the perfect person for that.
Speaker 1: That's a funny story about Lorenz Tape because we wrote
Speaker 1: that role for Easy. Easy was my first real og
Speaker 1: mentor in the business, right when Drey right the summer
Speaker 1: Dre left ninety one. That's a long story. So we
Speaker 1: got time. You gotta time, We got time. You know,
Speaker 1: Easy Easy, I learned. I learned everything from Easy. But
Speaker 1: one of the things with him and Jerry is they
Speaker 1: were always trying to keep you in the box and
Speaker 1: control you, you know, and and they were trying to
Speaker 1: control us in the script, and and I just had
Speaker 1: to move on, you know. And it was for peanuts.
Speaker 1: And I adore Easy. He was so giving and so
Speaker 1: down to earth and by the way, great with his
Speaker 1: fans too, like very patient with his fans. But I
Speaker 1: see why Q left, I see why Drey left. That
Speaker 1: there was a thing there. There was a whole thing there.
Speaker 1: So we eventually moved on with Menace. And as we
Speaker 1: were casting, we had been through two hundred old dogs.
Speaker 1: They brought us in the list that were the throwaways.
Speaker 1: That's when Lorenz they were like, you're not gonna this
Speaker 1: is not this is not what you're looking for. Once
Speaker 1: I yelled action, he went right into what you saw
Speaker 1: in the movie. Wow, I was like whoa, And I
Speaker 1: just got giddy, you know, and and and they were like,
Speaker 1: don't you can't tell him he was there with his
Speaker 1: brothers because he was under age. I ran out to
Speaker 1: the elevator, got an elevator with him. Just you knew.
Speaker 1: You knew right away because the thing I learned with Lorenz,
Speaker 1: and I try to keep this in mind in my
Speaker 1: career is like, don't get trapped in like what you
Speaker 1: think the role is the way it's supposed to look,
Speaker 1: you know, expect the unexpecting. And that's that kid was
Speaker 1: blew us away. Did old dog die in minutes? Man? What? What? No? Okay?
Speaker 1: So he went to prison? Like, yeah, he went to prison. Okay,
Speaker 1: why didnt y'all show that? I mean, they showed him
Speaker 1: getting arrested, but always opened into thing kind we were
Speaker 1: young and didn't know we were doing Charlotte Magne. You're right,
Speaker 1: like there's like things that and it was like two
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars budget. It was a time.
Speaker 1: We barely got that shot where he got put in
Speaker 1: a cop card. Now we were just young and dumb
Speaker 1: and lucky. And even with that, I thought I didn't
Speaker 1: know if that was a flashback or he was getting
Speaker 1: arrested for the murders. That was the night of the shooting,
Speaker 1: and there was a whole scene with Jada crying on
Speaker 1: the porch and all kinds of things that we just
Speaker 1: cut out of the movie came being put into the
Speaker 1: ambulance that all got cut out. Uh No, they wanted
Speaker 1: to do a sequel at one point, like fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: ten years ago, and old Dog was gonna get out
Speaker 1: of prison because he was he was a juvenile. Yep, Wow,
Speaker 1: what would that? Did you even entertain that? Did you even?
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was entertaining it? And then we
Speaker 1: ended up in new lines offices and like entertaining it,
Speaker 1: and yeah, but I never really wanted to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I never because I'm like, how do you just want
Speaker 1: to leave that classic? Yeah? When y'all did those lines,
Speaker 1: did you ever expect those lines to continue on forever? Like? Wait,
Speaker 1: when you hear lines like you know, you know you
Speaker 1: know now, or you know the lines I feel sorry
Speaker 1: for your mother or all those things, did y'all know
Speaker 1: how far that was gonna go and how how much
Speaker 1: impact I was gonna have on the coach it to
Speaker 1: this damn hell No. No, there's not one line in
Speaker 1: any movie of those movies that I felt that way
Speaker 1: for except for and I still didn't think this. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's that line break yourself. When the guys break yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember me my brother were driving down Sunset Boulevard
Speaker 1: and LaBrea. We stopped at the light they called it
Speaker 1: HollyHood back then because it was so cracked out. I
Speaker 1: saw a dude slapping a dude's down to his legs,
Speaker 1: gonna break yourself, right, we're just right there. That's the
Speaker 1: first time I ever heard that, And I knew if
Speaker 1: that stuck out to me, he's slapping them like turning
Speaker 1: his pockets inside, telling them break himself. I've never heard
Speaker 1: that before, so I thought there was something to that,
Speaker 1: But no, there's no there was no line ever. Those
Speaker 1: are all, by the way, a lot of those lines
Speaker 1: of menace and in Dead Presidents were all improvised. Most
Speaker 1: of them were improvised. And Dead President was based off
Speaker 1: the trauma and black veterans feel when they come home
Speaker 1: from the military. Right, what what inspired that? There was
Speaker 1: a book called Bloods that was several stories of black
Speaker 1: Vietnam veterans, you know, and they read these stories can
Speaker 1: to see what black veterans had to come home too.
Speaker 1: There's a different type of trauma fighting that were most
Speaker 1: of the disproportionately losing their lives as a black community,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think we were a little again
Speaker 1: too young and too ambitious. And if you look at
Speaker 1: the movie, it's three different movies, it's a it all
Speaker 1: made sense though, Like I remember being young. When you're young,
Speaker 1: you think that's just the bankits movie, right, like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's exciting, you see the white faith with very it
Speaker 1: does now for Halloween. But then you get older, you
Speaker 1: start to peel back those layers of Oh, man, okay,
Speaker 1: he was in the military, came home PTSD, broke girl
Speaker 1: cheating on him because he's gonna be angry, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, because he want to, you know, figure
Speaker 1: out a way to get some money. So it's just
Speaker 1: a lot of other different things you see as you
Speaker 1: get older. Yeah, I think I think the writing could
Speaker 1: have been better, you know, Like he makes the decision
Speaker 1: to do the heist, but he hadn't gotten done enough.
Speaker 1: I thought you know, it's finding jobs and you know,
Speaker 1: like the beats that I know now in storytelling, like
Speaker 1: you gotta go through a few more beats to earn
Speaker 1: the right to be shooting all those cops. And now
Speaker 1: you're being too hard on yourself. And I was peoples
Speaker 1: and he was sleeping with his girls all that one alone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, he sat alone. Girl didn't beat his ass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: put the gun in his mouth. You know what sucking gun?
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington taught me something. You put that gun, you
Speaker 1: know like Lorenz did, uh say Cutty did to Lorenz character.
Speaker 1: I guess mistake of dead presidents was before he went down,
Speaker 1: he should have went back and served that guy. And
Speaker 1: you got to give that to the audience. You can't
Speaker 1: have your hero get get done like that and not
Speaker 1: get some form of justice. Even if he's gonna go
Speaker 1: to prison, there's got to be some get back for
Speaker 1: the audience, the audiences. That was a tough watch for
Speaker 1: the audience at the time to see Lorenz his character
Speaker 1: put in that position, um by that pimp ish character
Speaker 1: and he never got us. You know, he never got
Speaker 1: to get back. Now were you were you in poking
Speaker 1: good terms? When he passed because I know you had
Speaker 1: a krafuffle one day. Um no, it kind of that's
Speaker 1: a that's a strange because he did apologize, um to
Speaker 1: what happened for people I don't know this, you know,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is the people I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't sleep enough to tell this story. Um well,
Speaker 1: he we eventually had to fire him for menace because
Speaker 1: it was just he was just becoming a handful and
Speaker 1: and um, I could tell it was just there was
Speaker 1: no way for us to It was starting before minutes,
Speaker 1: and I tried to work it out with him, but
Speaker 1: he just, in my opinion, wasn't being reasonable. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure he would say the same of me. And this
Speaker 1: is between me Tupac who had that conversation? Who walks
Speaker 1: in that trailer? It was in pre production, so we
Speaker 1: were rehearsals where we had to several little blowouts. And
Speaker 1: then I called him later that night. Well, he told
Speaker 1: me to call his manager. I call his manager's managers,
Speaker 1: like what Tupac? This Tupac let me talk to Tupac
Speaker 1: called Tupac goes, I'm not talking to you, talk to
Speaker 1: my manager. I said, you know, like like there's no
Speaker 1: way this is we can't do this. Tupac Like, if
Speaker 1: I can't talk to you, and I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: let you go, you know, talk to my manager. So
Speaker 1: next day I went to New Line Cinema and I said,
Speaker 1: we gotta let him go. Oh you didn't want to fire, No,
Speaker 1: you wanted to work. No, I wanted to work it out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And he was making a lot of money. And by
Speaker 1: the way, to Tupac's credit, he was one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why the movie got greenlight, because they went in
Speaker 1: green light unless we had someone a note or a
Speaker 1: platinum artist in the film. In Tupac as a friend
Speaker 1: find on early and helped us with that film, you know.
Speaker 1: And I remember the termination letter, and that's what happened.
Speaker 1: He got terminated, and there was rumors that Tupac was
Speaker 1: looking for us. And I'm not gonna make this about
Speaker 1: my brother, because this is the decision I made. I
Speaker 1: dealt with the actors. Albert was out there scouting locations
Speaker 1: when this happened, you know. But anyway, we pulled up
Speaker 1: in the Spice one music video for the soundtrack Trigger
Speaker 1: has No Heart, Got No Heart? I can't remember the title,
Speaker 1: and I saw Tupac sitting there with ten gangsters already
Speaker 1: liquored up, and so he knew what it was. Yea
Speaker 1: and that, and that's what happened. I'll just make this
Speaker 1: story short, because he got it, got bloody, he got
Speaker 1: brutal on me, and I just remember going, damn, I
Speaker 1: don't feel anything. I was amazed by what the adrenaline does.
Speaker 1: And I had to go to the hospital. Was that bad?
Speaker 1: You know? So there was a mutual friend, mutual friends.
Speaker 1: I'm like, just tell them to meet me in the park.
Speaker 1: You know. I was like, meet me in the park, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not threatening you. You know, let's resolve with his men,
Speaker 1: just one on one. And I just kept getting um rejected.
Speaker 1: I said, all right. So that's when I took it
Speaker 1: to court and I had a real attorney, and I'm
Speaker 1: in the preliminary stage. I go, you know what pulled
Speaker 1: the MTV that moment you're talking mountain where he's threatening
Speaker 1: and re threatening and confess. He confessed to it, yep,
Speaker 1: and yeah, and say you're gonna do it again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I catch him, the traveler said, pull the tape.
Speaker 1: Let's show that to the jury. Beat up the side,
Speaker 1: let me tell the whole world. Check this out. They
Speaker 1: fired me, but did it in a roundabout, punk snitch way.
Speaker 1: So I caught him on the streets and beat date behind.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying. I can't. I still
Speaker 1: got when they showed that tape to the jury. You
Speaker 1: should have saw their faces. That's what won the case. Well,
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Alan Hughes. When we
Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast logan Morning. Everybody's dj n V. Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club be Scott, our
Speaker 1: co host is here and we're still kicking it with
Speaker 1: Alan Hughes. Now you know Alan Hughes. He's a director.
Speaker 1: He's directed Minister Society, He's directed Book of Eli, and
Speaker 1: now he's doing Dear Mama, the Tupac VACU series. Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: I think some people are concerned that you might try
Speaker 1: to paint Pocket in a negative light because of that
Speaker 1: situation with Dema. I remember they first announced it. I
Speaker 1: saw people that are close to POC online saying like, no,
Speaker 1: why is he doing Dear Mama? Like what story is
Speaker 1: he going to tell? What kind of chess would I
Speaker 1: be on to? First of all, not be proud of
Speaker 1: like the icon he's become, and why would I want
Speaker 1: to If anything, the reason why I took the job
Speaker 1: was I want to understand him more. You go around
Speaker 1: the world Africa, South America, Asia, Europe. You see that mural,
Speaker 1: you see you don't see anyone around the world like that.
Speaker 1: I don't give cool. It is like you don't see
Speaker 1: him in Africa like you see Tupac. And I always
Speaker 1: looked when I was traveling, like, oh man, I wonder
Speaker 1: he's the strange paradoxyl I can use that word twentieth
Speaker 1: century figure that you can project anything you want to
Speaker 1: love or fighter saying center hoh it, philosopher, violence, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to see, you'll see in Tupac. You know,
Speaker 1: I've noticed that a bomb. He's almost biblical in that way.
Speaker 1: I say too, like tupacts on like your grandma has
Speaker 1: m ok JFK and Jesus over there Tupos on that
Speaker 1: other wall. So you gotta be real mindful when you're
Speaker 1: dealing with something like that. Break down, break down what
Speaker 1: it is for people that don't know, is it a
Speaker 1: mini series? Is a document series? Is it weekly? So
Speaker 1: for people that don't know, it's a documenteries. Five parts
Speaker 1: and it's the first week April twenty first it drops
Speaker 1: on FX, the first two episodes come out that night,
Speaker 1: and then the next day and Hulu streaming, and then
Speaker 1: a week the week. How hard is it to gather
Speaker 1: all of these different stories together the film, because it's
Speaker 1: not just Pockets as mother as well, right, So yeah,
Speaker 1: how hard to gather these stories? It's very difficult because
Speaker 1: it's like with on the Affany side, there was virtually nothing,
Speaker 1: no footage, very little pictures, and she's got a rich history,
Speaker 1: especially obviously her Panther years and what she was on
Speaker 1: trial for with the Panther twenty one. They were facing
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty years for allegedly trying to bomb
Speaker 1: all kinds of things in New York and a Faney
Speaker 1: represented herself, which is bold to say the least. So
Speaker 1: it's it's it's very hard to difficult to go back,
Speaker 1: and you know, you have to do it like an excavation.
Speaker 1: You're trying to find things. But we fortunately found a
Speaker 1: lot of footage, not a lot enough on her and
Speaker 1: enough photos that hadn't been seen, enough stuff with Tupac
Speaker 1: that hadn't been seen. And the one thing that was
Speaker 1: odd was there was no footage of them together, of
Speaker 1: him and his mother together, none, not even as a
Speaker 1: young boy. No footage there may have been. There's five
Speaker 1: pictures of the two of them. Five do you know
Speaker 1: why did they ever say? Why did you get an
Speaker 1: understanding of why? Just that odd LaToya and Michael thing?
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know there was so I would go
Speaker 1: back to the music videos for other reasons. I would
Speaker 1: get the outtakes. I always do that. Let's get the outtakes.
Speaker 1: Let's find the moment before the moment, the moment after
Speaker 1: the moment. And I found and I get around video
Speaker 1: a lunch break that they shot a barbecue and there
Speaker 1: he is sitting when his mother eating barbecue. And it's
Speaker 1: in the Film's only like fifteen seconds, but it's the
Speaker 1: only time you see them too together. I got a
Speaker 1: couple more question exactly, you gotta go, what's going on
Speaker 1: with to Marvin gay biopick, that happens. We'll see, let's see,
Speaker 1: we'll see doctor dre and do let's see, we'll see.
Speaker 1: It's it's, it's, it's it's a little more complicated. We
Speaker 1: got the script. It's a great script, but a funny
Speaker 1: little thing happened on the way to the bank. Uh.
Speaker 1: Snoop Dog came to me to do it with his
Speaker 1: BIOPICCK and that, and that's being fast tracked right now.
Speaker 1: Marvin is ready, but there's some elements that need to
Speaker 1: get in place. That's one of the ones. You can't
Speaker 1: know what's love got to do with it, Like you know,
Speaker 1: part of the part of the challenge for me was
Speaker 1: when Snoop came to me with his biopic and I
Speaker 1: saw that universal was that enthusiastic about getting it done
Speaker 1: right now, and I saw that I could tell an
Speaker 1: inspiring story, but go back to the hood. I go,
Speaker 1: you know what, this is probably smarter for me to
Speaker 1: do first because there's something I'm familiar with, the music,
Speaker 1: the culture. Let me do this first, and and not
Speaker 1: just jumping into Marvin. You know, um, you got a
Speaker 1: thread a needle and you know that I think was
Speaker 1: Snoop in his story. It's more innate to me. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, let me get those reps in, let me
Speaker 1: get this out right now, because Marvin is like a
Speaker 1: whole nother ball game. You have talent attest to it.
Speaker 1: Y'all know who's gonna play Marvin h no Okay, no,
Speaker 1: we we think we know, and but you know, and
Speaker 1: I prefer being unknown Marvin. And how much of the
Speaker 1: snooper y'all done? How much of it? Yeah? Script is
Speaker 1: in this month and we're meant to be shooting at
Speaker 1: the end of the summer. That movie gotta be minutes
Speaker 1: to society Boys in the Hood type. But it starts
Speaker 1: that way. Okay, it starts that with stupid dupe was
Speaker 1: because remember everything, he goes through the death Row and
Speaker 1: then he buys it back and owns it, which is
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the ninety but you
Speaker 1: gotta do all that. But murder was the caase that's
Speaker 1: what you want to go back to us crack dealing.
Speaker 1: But it has to end with him buying the catalog
Speaker 1: and owning Death Row. You know what's funny you said
Speaker 1: that I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, him and him name,
Speaker 1: not having his masters and all that, and then coming
Speaker 1: back to him owning it, you know what snoop recently,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if I'm out in
Speaker 1: this right now, but you know, listen, I adore this guy,
Speaker 1: like this dude is so special, so grounded, such a
Speaker 1: great listener, such a great I mean, he's a sage.
Speaker 1: He gave doctor Dre the Chronic bank. Oh, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know that he bought the whole
Speaker 1: death Row, gave Dre the chronic, gave it to him.
Speaker 1: I said, Snoop, who does that? Michael Jackson, who do
Speaker 1: you do that with? You know, Michael had got the
Speaker 1: Sony the half of Sony Publishing because he had to
Speaker 1: beat those catalogs. It was Sony ATV. And I think
Speaker 1: he gave him back the little Richard if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I hadn't heard that. He definitely get Paul back.
Speaker 1: He did mostly black. I definitely know it was a
Speaker 1: little Richard. I forgot when Snoop did Death though. I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, wow, you gave it to him. Um,
Speaker 1: how come it seems like the essence of those movies
Speaker 1: Minutes of Society, Dead Presidents. Why can't we capture that? Now?
Speaker 1: I don't feel like anybody can capture the essence of
Speaker 1: those great nineties films. Now. Maybe I'm just old na
Speaker 1: not stuck in my waists, but I just don't feel
Speaker 1: like nobody captures those anymore. I don't get feelings the same,
Speaker 1: especially especially with black. Well when you see when you
Speaker 1: see black entertainment right now, I'm gonna go somewhere with this,
Speaker 1: and you see all the sharpie beards, don't insult vent
Speaker 1: that's hilarious. You look back and watch a show like
Speaker 1: White Shadow and you see the way that their hair
Speaker 1: and how real it was, or Cooley High, you know,
Speaker 1: nineties it was like an offshoot of that where there
Speaker 1: was just a natural, like analogs salt of Earth thing,
Speaker 1: and we've all become so like groomed and meticulous. And
Speaker 1: that's part of the challenge, you know, like the culture
Speaker 1: has changed, you know, and things look different and things
Speaker 1: feel different. So I think the best one can do
Speaker 1: is go back and make a period piece and try
Speaker 1: to be as true to that period. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: make a movie about the nineties or the eighties or
Speaker 1: the seventies or the fifty whatever it is. But to
Speaker 1: make a contemporary black film right now, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: sharpies and you know, Beijing and damn envy us a run.
Speaker 1: It's a running thing. Which story would you want to tell? Now?
Speaker 1: I don't just see what I want to dedicate myself
Speaker 1: to now, because I see what's happening in the culture.
Speaker 1: It's just like incredible black stories, journeys and do what
Speaker 1: you just said, Like, how can I now know what
Speaker 1: I know now at fifty one and coming into my prime?
Speaker 1: How can I, you know, give back and and tell
Speaker 1: inspiring stories. I think it'd be dark and edgy and whatever,
Speaker 1: you know. But there's there's a lot of black stories
Speaker 1: being told now, a lot of and nobody wants to
Speaker 1: say that because it's not a lot of them. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of them being told, but not enough for us,
Speaker 1: I guess to be critical of them, that's right, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So because certain movies come out
Speaker 1: and I'll just be like, I'm not gonna say nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to impact the sales or the ratings
Speaker 1: or anything. You know. Well, I will stay to say
Speaker 1: this because this, this takes time. I think the challenge,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, in our culture and our cinema is
Speaker 1: we compete with one another instead of competing with what
Speaker 1: came before us or what it is considered the standard.
Speaker 1: And so black cinema they are like a handful of
Speaker 1: like truly greats, don't get me wrong, but in order
Speaker 1: for us to really really you know, achieve excellence. You
Speaker 1: gotta look at the typicals whatever Scorsesey Coppola, James Cameron, whoever.
Speaker 1: You know, you have to press yourself up against those guys,
Speaker 1: those those ladies, and like figure out what it is
Speaker 1: and do your homework, you know, and and don't try
Speaker 1: to just speak to your own community. Try to be
Speaker 1: transcendent or attempt to be transcendent to well said well,
Speaker 1: Alan Hughes, make sure you check out Damn Mama. You
Speaker 1: can see it everywhere on the twenty first on FX
Speaker 1: and it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Scott. Don't either
Speaker 1: one of y'all know what y'all saying. No, no, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, that said on that one song, that that
Speaker 1: part and uh, I'm throwing it way back when snow
Speaker 1: set on Informa and farm. Black people just love make us.
Speaker 1: Why not morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. We
Speaker 1: got our co host be Scott with us. Absolutely and
Speaker 1: let's get to the rooms. What we're talking about? Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, So we have an exclusive for you. This
Speaker 1: is a Housewives of Atlanta exclusive. This hey have been
Speaker 1: asking quite some time on the Breakfast Club. I had
Speaker 1: he goes a little stuff like this. Absolutely. I know
Speaker 1: you guys call this a room report, but this is
Speaker 1: now tea time would be Scott. There it is and
Speaker 1: so okay. So we for the last three years we
Speaker 1: had exclusively on love be Scott dot com the new
Speaker 1: trailer for Housewives of Atlanta, and this year was no different.
Speaker 1: And this year it is explosive. Okay, And I'm want
Speaker 1: to play a little clip of it. He crazy right
Speaker 1: now because you let it go the body, mind, soul
Speaker 1: can heal it? Sauce Ruster Dora husband Ralph Pittman vows
Speaker 1: for the voice top story. Baby, are you ready to
Speaker 1: talk about Ralph? Yeah? You break it down, break it down,
Speaker 1: break it down, break it down. And so the first
Speaker 1: part of that, you heard Candy and Marlow get into
Speaker 1: a really, really heated exchange. Anytime you hear Candy gar
Speaker 1: you know, and I love Candy, I love you, Candy,
Speaker 1: don't do it. Um. So she got really upset and
Speaker 1: they went to a new low. So basically what happened
Speaker 1: was and also I want to say this, the reason
Speaker 1: why Bravo came to me and gave me these trailers
Speaker 1: is because they were sick and tired of me telling
Speaker 1: everything that's going on in the season. But shouldn't they
Speaker 1: want that. No, they didn't want me to tell everything
Speaker 1: beforehand and completely um, but because I want them to
Speaker 1: know the peace treaty is off. Because they try to
Speaker 1: do some funny business about this trailer and still trying
Speaker 1: to tell me what time it is. No one tells
Speaker 1: be Scott what time it is the funny business basically,
Speaker 1: like you know, they upset that. You know, well, initially
Speaker 1: because we broke two married and medicine exclusives. They told
Speaker 1: me they were going to take the trailer somewhere else
Speaker 1: and I said, if you did that, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to war. And when I said go to war, it
Speaker 1: means that I will recap every episode of the show
Speaker 1: before the show comes out that talk Scott. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: My sources are extensive. It's not just Housewives. I have
Speaker 1: executives production where we want to go with just a show,
Speaker 1: just thank you and to be honest, you know, and
Speaker 1: why are we letting the chop a fly? Andy Cohen
Speaker 1: does not need to be hosting the reunions for black shows.
Speaker 1: He doesn't I have the cultural relevance. And it's not
Speaker 1: me being disrespectful to Andy coin. But you can't use
Speaker 1: your white privilege to sit there and talk down to
Speaker 1: people who need that job, especially black women. Okay, because
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the finesse. You can't finesse our culture.
Speaker 1: Either you're a part of it or you're not. And
Speaker 1: Andy can choose not to make that decision because he's
Speaker 1: an executive produce all of that. Absolutely, so be Scott
Speaker 1: should be hosting the reunion show. Yes, okay, yeah, because
Speaker 1: no one has an extensive you know, history with the
Speaker 1: Housewise as I didn't. It doesn't the franchise I do.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to be a reunion show. It
Speaker 1: could be like a show every RecA recap show, recap
Speaker 1: showy about it every week. If you come on right
Speaker 1: after the episode, right after the episode, she interviews, well,
Speaker 1: be Scott interviews to cast new all that other stuff.
Speaker 1: You know why that's interrupted because there's so much conversation
Speaker 1: that happens about these shows on social media, because why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you just have a show on your network just
Speaker 1: carries that conversation to television. And think about this. When
Speaker 1: the first show first started, I had the Housewives on
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel. I was interviewing Housewise Mariah Carry, Jennifer Lopez,
Speaker 1: and the list goes on way back when before it
Speaker 1: was even the thing. Now people are like, oh, I
Speaker 1: got celebrities on YouTube. Ben done that, you said two
Speaker 1: people had you block. But we got to get to
Speaker 1: why the thing that interaction they were having, so they
Speaker 1: went to a new low. So basically, Marlowe brought up
Speaker 1: about um, the shooting that happened at Candy's restaurant. Candy
Speaker 1: got upset, went into the and then said and then said,
Speaker 1: um brought up Marlowe's history, criminal history, and then the
Speaker 1: fact she slashed a girl in the face who later
Speaker 1: committed suicide. That got real low somebody somebody talking about
Speaker 1: I mean, that was just like I think they were
Speaker 1: just having a moment to kind of recenter themselves. Um.
Speaker 1: And then the other exclusive of should I just keep
Speaker 1: it for the other part, Well, the other component of
Speaker 1: this is that in Portugal they had your group trip
Speaker 1: and there is a recording, so one housewife recorded another housewife,
Speaker 1: UM having discussion about that housewife kissing another woman on
Speaker 1: the show. So there you don't understand that because I
Speaker 1: was confused, and that's the reason why I'm giving broad
Speaker 1: But just a little bit because I don't want to
Speaker 1: say who the people were that did the recording and
Speaker 1: what was you know, I'm gonna give a little bit
Speaker 1: the reason to watch the show, but that is exclusive.
Speaker 1: They went to New Lows and I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see it. I don't watch the show, but I took
Speaker 1: a sip of that tea and I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: give me another simple sound, not not before we go.
Speaker 1: You know, earlier you were telling about two people as
Speaker 1: you blocked, two people that have got me blocking. You
Speaker 1: were telling me that one of them called today to
Speaker 1: try to get back on the show. Get one of
Speaker 1: them was here in town this week and wanted to host.
Speaker 1: You know, and let me to say this. I want
Speaker 1: to say this for the record, Nini is the all
Speaker 1: time funniest housewife. She has the comedic quality that no
Speaker 1: one else has. Of course, we are also, regardless of
Speaker 1: whether she said so or not, we're friends. So how
Speaker 1: it got started was she got on the show. Even
Speaker 1: though I know Nini the longest, we are friends. I've
Speaker 1: hung out with her so many times, she said we
Speaker 1: weren't friends on the show. So by the time the
Speaker 1: information got to me that she was fired, I said
Speaker 1: run to hell out of it, and then when I
Speaker 1: did so, blocked me. I'm not friends anymore. No, well
Speaker 1: I still, I mean, I still have love for her.
Speaker 1: She was not wrong about Bravo. She went about it
Speaker 1: the wrong way. That's all I got to say. So
Speaker 1: when was the last time I spoke to Ninny years now?
Speaker 1: Damn it, man, don't sound like your friends. And then
Speaker 1: the other one is Porscha. She blocked me because I
Speaker 1: put out the exclusive about how she got her Peach
Speaker 1: cobbo by Bolo, Peach cobbold By, she got it in
Speaker 1: smashed cold, got it Peach Cobboler. Don't hit dump for that.
Speaker 1: See that you doing on the dump? But I got
Speaker 1: love for Nini and Porscha and they should unblock me
Speaker 1: and I would love to have them both back on
Speaker 1: Housewives of Atlanta. You should speak to Nini, I should
Speaker 1: Pa and Portion And if I had slept with Bola,
Speaker 1: I would just say, yeah, I did it. Porsche should
Speaker 1: have owned it. She so this with things. Bolo, the stripper,
Speaker 1: the hung stripper, the stripper from like switched out the
Speaker 1: tea ding one kind of tea, y'all just switched So
Speaker 1: Bolo was a couple of years ago. Remember it was
Speaker 1: the rumor that the stripper came. Everybody was drunking in
Speaker 1: the stripper smashed somebody. She is allegedly saying that Porsches
Speaker 1: and I was the one behind that, so that's why
Speaker 1: she blocked me. I like her sheets too, she had sheets.
Speaker 1: I like her. She's getting some part on my right.
Speaker 1: The sheets is really good as got ain't wash the
Speaker 1: pamper by Porsche. Okay, all right, well we got more room.

Speaker 1: always have been the number one threat to axicide. But
Speaker 1: I'm also very proud that my wife was white. The
Speaker 1: breakfast club, bitches, please tell me why was I your
Speaker 1: donkey of the day? Wow, Donkey of to Day for Thursday,
Speaker 1: April thirteenth goes to a form An SNL star named
Speaker 1: Victoria Jackson. Never heard of her and tell this story,
Speaker 1: but she was a cast member on SNL for six
Speaker 1: years between nineteen eighty six and nineteen ninety two, and
Speaker 1: I suppose she resides in Franklin, Tennessee, because she decided
Speaker 1: during a council discussion on Tuesday to try her best
Speaker 1: to stop a gay parade from taking place in Franklin. Yes,
Speaker 1: the parade needed a special event permit for the occasion,
Speaker 1: and during Tuesday's conference, it was agreed the celebration had
Speaker 1: been given approval, but Victoria put up a fight. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: this human jar Hellman's Mannas did her best to convince
Speaker 1: the counsel of why Franklin having a pride parade was
Speaker 1: a bad idea. No, seriously, she's not just against homosexual
Speaker 1: she apparently doesn't like pride period. Oh I can't make
Speaker 1: this type of stuff up. Listen, Victoria Jackson. God hates sodomy,
Speaker 1: He hates homosexuality, he said it's an abomination, and he
Speaker 1: hates God hates sexual immorality all kinds or an occasional
Speaker 1: adult tricks are And God hates pride like one of
Speaker 1: the most things. He hates his pride Proverbs eleven twelve.
Speaker 1: When pride comes, then comes disgrace, But with humility comes wisdom.
Speaker 1: The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure
Speaker 1: of this, they will not go unpunished. And sodom and
Speaker 1: Gomorrah proves that God hates sodomy and sexual morality and pride.
Speaker 1: I just want to encourage this generation not to be brainwashed.
Speaker 1: Why would it comes to some religious folks, especially Evangelicals
Speaker 1: and Christians. They can say God hates everything except for hate,
Speaker 1: like God hates hates, God hates blacks, God hates you know, Latinos,
Speaker 1: God hates gluten. But when it comes to racism, okay,
Speaker 1: white supremacy, any form of prejudice which they are clearly displaying,
Speaker 1: God has no hate towards that. And look, I'm no
Speaker 1: Bishop TD Jakes, I'm no Sarah Jakes and Torrey Roberts
Speaker 1: lut to the First Family of Faith, though love them,
Speaker 1: I'm not any of them clearly, but I am almost
Speaker 1: positive that this human keg of craft mandate is totally misinterpreted.
Speaker 1: Proverbs eleven twelve. Okay, when pride comes, then comes disgrace.
Speaker 1: But what humility comes wisdom. The Lord detest all the
Speaker 1: proud of heart. Be sure of this, they will not
Speaker 1: go and punish. Listen, there's three types of pride. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have superiority, you have arrogance, and you have dignity. Okay,
Speaker 1: some say conceit, arrogance or superiority. You know, you have
Speaker 1: the kind of pride that is based in self centeredness,
Speaker 1: and that's destructive. Selfish pride is especially destructive the relationships,
Speaker 1: because the opposite of loving others is not hating them, okay,
Speaker 1: but simply being self centered victoria. Not only are you
Speaker 1: doing the opposite of loving others, doing the opposite of
Speaker 1: love thy neighbor as thy self. You are showing superiority
Speaker 1: and arrogance for people who are simply expressing pride in
Speaker 1: who they are. That's what dignity is. The actual definition
Speaker 1: that dignity is the state or quality of being worthy
Speaker 1: of honor or respect. Dignity is a sense of pride
Speaker 1: in oneself self respect. So Black pride, Gay pride, Latino pride,
Speaker 1: it's simply showing a sense of pride in oneself. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's it. See American pride, all right. When you hear
Speaker 1: people say I'm proud to be an American, it's usually
Speaker 1: rooted in superiority, okay, white superiority, in Anglo Saxon arrogance.
Speaker 1: That will cause you to stand up and tell someone
Speaker 1: who's proud to be who they are and wants to
Speaker 1: hold a parade to celebrate who they are, you know,
Speaker 1: the pride that God actually hates. Okay, we'll make you
Speaker 1: feel superior to those individuals and have you tell them
Speaker 1: God hates them for who they are. You don't even
Speaker 1: know what pride means for real, for real Victoria. Okay,
Speaker 1: not gay pride, pride to rock. You probably think the
Speaker 1: Proud Boys are shining examples of the type of pride
Speaker 1: God loves. But that's another another story. Now, be Scott,
Speaker 1: I feel you have thoughts. I mean, you almost made
Speaker 1: me want to shout. That was I mean, Charlotta Magne,
Speaker 1: that was quite quite the spill right there. I just
Speaker 1: think that she much like you know, she left SNL
Speaker 1: right to for a sitcom and didn't get picked up,
Speaker 1: just like her face. Jesus. So, I'm so tired of
Speaker 1: people who look like that having any opinion on my community.
Speaker 1: Pick up your face. Pick your face up first before
Speaker 1: you come over here telling me what I should and
Speaker 1: should not be doing. Please, let Remy Mark give form
Speaker 1: an SNL star Victoria Jackson the biggest heh heh heh,
Speaker 1: you stupid motherfuck you gotta use that one. That's good.
Speaker 1: That's your face, your face before you got anything to
Speaker 1: say about me, anything about your face. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for that, Donkey of the dame. All right, now,
Speaker 1: when we come back, let's open up the phone lines
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eighty five, one oh five one. Let's
Speaker 1: talk colleges. Oh yeah, there was an article in a
Speaker 1: business inside even though I didn't go to college. Well,
Speaker 1: there was a good article in Business inside, all right,
Speaker 1: and they were saying, the majority of Americans now think
Speaker 1: getting a college degree isn't worth it. That's right. Forty
Speaker 1: two percent of people say, uh, forty two percent of
Speaker 1: people with college degree and said it didn't end up
Speaker 1: being worth getting. Right, And now they say that fifty
Speaker 1: six percent of Americans now say a four year college
Speaker 1: degree isn't worth the car. So let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: I would assume because it didn't translate in the dollars
Speaker 1: for some people. Maybe, yeah, I mean college is very expensive,
Speaker 1: you know. And we'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five A five one oh five one. I
Speaker 1: will say, and I've been saying this for a long time.
Speaker 1: I think going to high school and going straight to
Speaker 1: college is you said, we're gonna talk about it. We
Speaker 1: talking about it when we come back. People have something.
Speaker 1: We have to be on time for BT and we
Speaker 1: have to practice good habits. Could you stop go to commercial?
Speaker 1: That sound right? Being on time for BT? What the point?
Speaker 1: All right? Right? What we'll talk about it when we
Speaker 1: come back. We're gonna we're a little late anyway, so
Speaker 1: now that makes sense. Eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 1: on five one, we'll talk about it. It's the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club Warning Breakfast Club in v Charlemagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club out co host B Scott is
Speaker 1: here and we're opening up the phone lines. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: five eight five one oh five one. We were talking
Speaker 1: about something we've seen in the Business Insider where they're
Speaker 1: saying the majority of Americans now I think a college
Speaker 1: degree isn't worth it, and they said fifty six percent
Speaker 1: of Americans now say a four year college degree isn't
Speaker 1: worth the cost. And I was saying that I got
Speaker 1: my degree of course from Hampton University HBCU shot everybody
Speaker 1: at all at Hampton and Lums. I would say, I
Speaker 1: think that students should take some time off before they
Speaker 1: go to college. And I'm gonna tell you why. When
Speaker 1: I went to college, and as most students go to college,
Speaker 1: a lot of them go to pass. They just want
Speaker 1: to get their degree and get out. And that's what
Speaker 1: I did. I got my degree and got out. But
Speaker 1: now realizing there's so many classes and courses that I
Speaker 1: should have really listened to because it would have helped
Speaker 1: me in you know, life, in life, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And I wish I could go back to
Speaker 1: those courses. And I tell my daughter, who's an NYU
Speaker 1: now that you know, take those classes serious. Just don't
Speaker 1: study to pass study to actually learn whether it was accountant,
Speaker 1: whether it's business, whether it's marketing and management. Now, I
Speaker 1: didn't get my degree in communications. I got my degree
Speaker 1: in marketing and management, which I use in my career
Speaker 1: because I always said I was going to have money
Speaker 1: going in high school. I just needed to know how
Speaker 1: to keep it, how to invest it, and that's what
Speaker 1: college taught me. But I tell kids to take time off.
Speaker 1: When I tell kids what courses, they should say because
Speaker 1: I think they got to figure out and learn what
Speaker 1: they want to do. You know, I think if you
Speaker 1: take that time off, maybe jump into the workforce a
Speaker 1: little bit, then you can really understand what you want
Speaker 1: to do. Because most people don't know what they want
Speaker 1: to do. They go college, They go to college and
Speaker 1: just try to figure it out. That's interest, you know.
Speaker 1: I tell my daughter, my daughter's fourteen now she's a freshman.
Speaker 1: I tell her now that, you know, even if she
Speaker 1: doesn't know what she wants to do, even even though
Speaker 1: she does. I think going to college is a good
Speaker 1: thing to do until you figure it out, because yeah,
Speaker 1: because you're not wasting time, Like at least you'll have
Speaker 1: a degree after those four years. I didn't go to college,
Speaker 1: you know, even though I am a doctor honorary doctor
Speaker 1: from South Carolina, but I didn't go to college. But
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I feel like that four years is
Speaker 1: it's a good way to deal with your time. But
Speaker 1: courses that you don't know, Like my daughter went from
Speaker 1: real estate to be she wanted to be an attorney,
Speaker 1: then she went back to real estate, so she doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily know, Um, what do you think? I mean? I
Speaker 1: can only speak from experience, you know. I went to
Speaker 1: the University of nor kallin Choppa Hill, and for me,
Speaker 1: it was something that was definitely needed because they gave
Speaker 1: me a basic, working knowledge of the world. And I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people could benefit from that.
Speaker 1: I do believe that just knowing just fundamentals of just
Speaker 1: like photosynphesis or just like certain things just allows you
Speaker 1: to appreciate things in a whole new way. And I
Speaker 1: do believe that you should use college as you were
Speaker 1: saying Charlemagne, to kind of explore, because that's what the
Speaker 1: general requirements are to The general requirements are all over
Speaker 1: the place, and as you explore different little taste of things,
Speaker 1: you can then say, Okay, I want to go deeper
Speaker 1: in that, and that becomes your major. And my fear
Speaker 1: is that if they were to take time off and
Speaker 1: they go and work, then they're going to start getting
Speaker 1: real life responsibilities, which means you're buying stuff with the
Speaker 1: money that you're make into this job, and so that
Speaker 1: means you got to keep that job to keep these things,
Speaker 1: and then prevents you from ever going back. So don't
Speaker 1: The thing about exploring is you're exploring by paying a bill.
Speaker 1: Like you look at certain colleges of forty fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year and you're Lauren spending money and might
Speaker 1: not you might be taking the wrong classes that you
Speaker 1: don't like. Like there's a lot of people that or
Speaker 1: six years seven year college students because they started thinking
Speaker 1: they want to be something and then they wound up
Speaker 1: figuring it out, that's not what I want to do,
Speaker 1: and then by the time they graduate, they have three
Speaker 1: hundred four hundred thousan dollars worth of debt that they
Speaker 1: got to pay off, and now it takes some twelve
Speaker 1: years to pay off. I like what the Scott said, though.
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't go to school, you probably
Speaker 1: getting habit of just working. Yeah, you know. And I
Speaker 1: also think that sometimes you can tell it, like when
Speaker 1: people just don't have a basic knowledge of stuff, you'd
Speaker 1: be like, oh, okay, I get it. You just you
Speaker 1: skip some courses. Let's go to the phone lines. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are on the lines. Hello, who's this Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, Hey Bernard, go on and talk to us.
Speaker 1: All right, So I just wanted to touch on the
Speaker 1: I word. Out of college I felt about eleven years.
Speaker 1: And so when it comes to the affordability, colleges are
Speaker 1: very but it's also public schools that are much more
Speaker 1: affordable and in some cases if you qualified for like
Speaker 1: programs that actually an entire umge for free without paying
Speaker 1: anything out of pocket. It's usually when we got to
Speaker 1: those master pisis and gradual program or those private schools
Speaker 1: that folks are paying a ton of money and not
Speaker 1: really seeing that return on the better spat. Okay, I
Speaker 1: won't say that too. You know, the bad thing and
Speaker 1: This is why we always talk about, you know, free education.
Speaker 1: My mom worked extra hard and my dad work extra
Speaker 1: hard to so that I wouldn't have huge college bills
Speaker 1: when I graduated, right, I think they paid like seventy
Speaker 1: percent of my college to which and I had to
Speaker 1: pay thirty percent when I graduate. So for me, the
Speaker 1: biggest thing for my kids, I have six, is to
Speaker 1: make sure that you have six, six kids a twenty one,
Speaker 1: eighteen nine eighty six in a one year old. That's impressive.
Speaker 1: But for me, I want to make sure my kids
Speaker 1: don't have any college bills. So I work extra hard
Speaker 1: to make sure when they graduate they started from zero.
Speaker 1: You do have to work extra hard that you know.
Speaker 1: You know what? That was what college do that? I
Speaker 1: don't hear y'all talk about enough. Don't you learn other
Speaker 1: things outside of just getting a degree, like meeting people,
Speaker 1: networking skills? That was another And you know me coming
Speaker 1: from New York, all I was about was New York.
Speaker 1: But when I went to college, I had a roommate
Speaker 1: from Mississippi. I had a roommate from Ohio. I had
Speaker 1: a roommate from New Orleans. I had a roommate from Jersey.
Speaker 1: So it opened me up, you know, do music to
Speaker 1: all those different areas of music and things like that,
Speaker 1: and in most cases, it's a safer environment to a
Speaker 1: spot different things and learn how to interact with people
Speaker 1: than the real world. So it's like a buffer. It's
Speaker 1: like a step right before you on your own. And
Speaker 1: that's why I'm not knocking these people who said it
Speaker 1: wasn't worth it to get a degree. But are you
Speaker 1: just equating worth to monetization because you probably got life
Speaker 1: lifelong friends. Like my wife has her two best friends
Speaker 1: or from college, right, you know what I mean, they're
Speaker 1: friends with twenty plus years. And I also think that
Speaker 1: you touched on something that was powerful you said in
Speaker 1: terms of a lot of people go to college just
Speaker 1: to pass. Correct, it's about why you are there. But
Speaker 1: if you're there to learn and actually get something from
Speaker 1: the experience, you're going to have a different result than
Speaker 1: someone that's they're just to pass. That's true too. Like
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go to college, right, I was
Speaker 1: a DJ. I wanted to do music, but in my family,
Speaker 1: I was the first person to go to college in
Speaker 1: my family. Wow, So my parents were like, no, you're going,
Speaker 1: Like they wanted me to go to more House and
Speaker 1: I was like, More House too far, like they wanted
Speaker 1: me to go. So for me it was I was
Speaker 1: doing it more for them than for myself. You're not
Speaker 1: a more house man. You went Hampton was good for you.
Speaker 1: I'm a Hampton man, sir, Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nothing wrong. Hap man. I can call some my
Speaker 1: More House people. Do you think he's a more house man?
Speaker 1: You call them? But I thought how you know how?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm about to fight you here. I'm
Speaker 1: about I'm about to fight you a here my money.
Speaker 1: I've been fighting my whole life. Five a five one
Speaker 1: oh five one. We're talking about colleges this morning. Now
Speaker 1: what we were saying, I am majority of Americans now
Speaker 1: thinking think getting a college degree isn't worth What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts? And they're saying fifty six percent of Americans
Speaker 1: now say a four year college degree is it worth
Speaker 1: the cost? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: the morning. It's topic time called eight hundred five five
Speaker 1: one oh five. Wanted to join it. So you're with
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody's DJ NV
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. We have
Speaker 1: our co host b Scott here. Now we're talking a
Speaker 1: majority of Americans now thinking getting a college degree. Is
Speaker 1: it worth it? Now? You went to which school? Carolina? Carolina?
Speaker 1: You got your degree? I didn't. Okay, So psychology, What
Speaker 1: were your thoughts on going to college. Have you learned
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that you know that you
Speaker 1: learned in college? Do you use them in quote unquote
Speaker 1: real life? No, I damn it, man. I think that
Speaker 1: what college did for me is just gave me a
Speaker 1: way of thinking. It gave me a basic knowledge that
Speaker 1: I use in everyday life. Do I remember the ins
Speaker 1: and outs of all the particular courses. No, but I
Speaker 1: do remember the basics of how things work. And it
Speaker 1: also showed me that if I do this, I get this.
Speaker 1: I do this, I get this. It was my first
Speaker 1: time of being like I can put in the work
Speaker 1: and I get a certain result. And that translated to
Speaker 1: my life, like I now know if I put in
Speaker 1: the work, no one can touch that. It's like no
Speaker 1: one can touch my degree. But I do feel that
Speaker 1: college just need to change to correct them a little bit. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of things that we should learn,
Speaker 1: whether it's investments, whether it's accounting, whether it's taxes. A
Speaker 1: lot of doing that in high school. Now my daughter,
Speaker 1: my daughter's school has had a financial literacy because I
Speaker 1: love that. I love that real estate things like that.
Speaker 1: I think they should be teaching us in college now.
Speaker 1: And college should be free. It should be like other countries.
Speaker 1: You can go to college for free and you don't
Speaker 1: have that debt at the end. But I also believe
Speaker 1: there's a lot of financial aid. There's also different scholarships
Speaker 1: grants that people can't apply for, especially minority students. Well,
Speaker 1: unless the Supreme Court does what they're going to that affirmative. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go to the full lives. Hello. Who's this Hey, Preston,
Speaker 1: good morning? Are calling from Oh I'm coming from the
Speaker 1: Capital City. Okay, Now, what's your thoughts on college? You
Speaker 1: think it's worth it or not? Yeah? In simple words,
Speaker 1: Yet it's going to expand on that. I think it's
Speaker 1: a big misunderstanding that just going to college is going
Speaker 1: to make it rest correct and that's not the case.
Speaker 1: Going to colleges and persiament of the studies and you
Speaker 1: know a lot of people actually go to college don't
Speaker 1: look too make a lot of money. They just look
Speaker 1: to do something they want to do in life. That's true,
Speaker 1: But I also would say this too, And like Charlomagne said,
Speaker 1: and a lot of these schools, once you change the curriculum,
Speaker 1: you change the mind frame of a lot of the
Speaker 1: way that people think. I think a lot of times
Speaker 1: colleges teach you how to be a worker and not
Speaker 1: an investor, not an entrepreneur. And like even with my
Speaker 1: daughter school now, like they're teaching them how to be entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: They are encouraging to sell bracelets and sell certain things
Speaker 1: in design and make things. So what that is I
Speaker 1: can see my kids already being entrepreneurs and talking about
Speaker 1: business and how much this cost and how much is
Speaker 1: the investment? How much do you make back? So I
Speaker 1: think the curriculum really needs to change a lot of
Speaker 1: the guarantee that those people would afford to two percent.
Speaker 1: If you ask them why they think it's not worth it,
Speaker 1: they say as to debt. I bet you majority of
Speaker 1: them say it. And one thing we didn't talk about
Speaker 1: too is that, um, I know they did this, Like
Speaker 1: Carolina is the intern ships. So I still will only
Speaker 1: have access to those in internships by being at college.
Speaker 1: So during the summers, I would be doing internships. I
Speaker 1: would be exploring once again before it became real. I
Speaker 1: think that's whack, but that's that's the true because even him,
Speaker 1: you have to be enrolled in college to do an
Speaker 1: intern into breakfast. I'm only a radio personality because I
Speaker 1: was allowed to do an internship in nineteen ninety eight
Speaker 1: at ninety three Jams and Charleston Soft Before there was
Speaker 1: before you had to be in college to get one.
Speaker 1: But I thought you must say before there was radio
Speaker 1: a minute. But like you said, yeah, but think about it.
Speaker 1: Somebody now who probably came up the same way that
Speaker 1: you did, wouldn't get a chance of your internship, wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to do radio because they are not enrolling.
Speaker 1: Consolutely stupid. All right, Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey? What's
Speaker 1: your name? Brow Andrew? What's up? Talk to us? What's
Speaker 1: your thoughts? A long time listening? Um? I actually agree
Speaker 1: with you. I got my b A. And when I
Speaker 1: got out of college, I remember going to a job
Speaker 1: interview and the first thing they said was what was
Speaker 1: your job experience? And I was like, I just got
Speaker 1: out of college. I don't have any. So I didn't
Speaker 1: get that job. And actually the job that I got
Speaker 1: was making penny until I got more experience. And the
Speaker 1: current company i'm at now, I've been there for over
Speaker 1: ten years, actually started listening to y'all around the same
Speaker 1: time I started the job. But it was a fight
Speaker 1: to get the position and didn't even getting you know,
Speaker 1: salary increases for the company. You know, just having a
Speaker 1: degree you walk in the door don't necessarily mean you're
Speaker 1: going to get a good position. That's true. It's just
Speaker 1: you know, you can go to college and you spend
Speaker 1: all this money. I got a house that I'm not
Speaker 1: even living in that I'm paying for it right now,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't pay off financially when you have those
Speaker 1: loans on your credit and you're not making the money
Speaker 1: that you think you're going to make me go to college.
Speaker 1: That's why I said, I told you, I'm guarantee if
Speaker 1: you pull those forty two percent of people who say
Speaker 1: college degrees aren't worth it, all of them say it's
Speaker 1: because of the student loaned that. But I won't say
Speaker 1: it too for I would say probably thirty percent forty
Speaker 1: percent of the money that I make is from my
Speaker 1: HBCU brothers and sisters. Yeah, the network, Like you know,
Speaker 1: somebody that works at let's say Pepsi and they hired
Speaker 1: me for something, or somebody that works for AT and
Speaker 1: T or somebody that works at State Farm or HBCU go.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of my brothers and sisters that went
Speaker 1: to HBCUs, whether it was more House or Clark or
Speaker 1: a Spellman or Morgan State or that other HU now
Speaker 1: just joking, Howard or Hampton Morgan's like all of them.
Speaker 1: I get money from that. Keep the money around. My
Speaker 1: wife heard her three best friends she all she met
Speaker 1: him at the University of South Carolina. The best friends.
Speaker 1: Now they were her bridesmaid and their wedding. So that's
Speaker 1: got to be worth it, right. Yeah. The alumni, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not associ I mean even even our boss a
Speaker 1: pay at them and me. Of course, she went to
Speaker 1: Hampton University, and I think those are good places if
Speaker 1: you don't know what you want to do, or you
Speaker 1: do know what you want to do, or don't go
Speaker 1: to want to go to college for four years. I
Speaker 1: think the moral of the story of school is worth it.
Speaker 1: College is worth it. I think so. I think so
Speaker 1: or I feel a little bad hit the two of
Speaker 1: my more House partners that asked him, could DJ Andry
Speaker 1: have been a more House man? One said yep. The
Speaker 1: other one said, hell yeah, we know three hundred light
Speaker 1: skinned negroes from New York. The other one said he
Speaker 1: would have been our version of DJ Cannon and Drama. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: shout Cannon and Drama went to Clark, so shout the mars.
Speaker 1: I actually got accepted to More House. My um, my
Speaker 1: uncle's or my cousins a professor there, and I love
Speaker 1: More House. I love shout to all those brothers out there. Well,
Speaker 1: you didn't scrag me as a more House man, but
Speaker 1: they said they're very diverse. They said they have every
Speaker 1: type of Negro from theo hu Huxtable to the wire
Speaker 1: corner boys. Great, well, I don't think you'd have been
Speaker 1: a more House man. I wouldn't have been a college.
Speaker 1: But I think he's more like Morgan State, South Carolina State,
Speaker 1: More State doctor from I don't know anything about Morgan State,
Speaker 1: but that sounds like you're not gonna be allowed to
Speaker 1: go there anymore. I need a gavel. I went to
Speaker 1: visit Morgan State when I was looking at HBCUs and
Speaker 1: I remember me and my dad walked up and they
Speaker 1: were playing dice on the Morgan State and brothers from
Speaker 1: Morgan State just looked up from their dice games to
Speaker 1: day and said, man, how are you gonna do something
Speaker 1: like that? We got rumors on the way, Yes we do. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't have in front of me what we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about, but I think is something related to what's
Speaker 1: happening in prison in Um Georgia. Yeah, like the two gangs.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, all right, we'll get into that. Next
Speaker 1: to then moves to breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. Na,

Speaker 1: That's right, she's so cute. All right, Well let's get
Speaker 1: to the rumors. We have our co host Be Scott here.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about the one and only Be Scott,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about our own versus. This is a versus,
Speaker 1: but this is a real life versus is happening in jail.
Speaker 1: So um, the two different cruise going on in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I gonna keep doing this to me.
Speaker 1: This has been asking me to quite some tide on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. I wasn't going to come to you guys,
Speaker 1: but I had it goes a little stufing like this,
Speaker 1: let's go be scary. Yes, the way that intro tickles
Speaker 1: my soul? Okay, so um, we have the Battle of
Speaker 1: the Games going on in Atlanta, Georgia. It is Young
Speaker 1: Thug and also why f Ends Lucci's games are going
Speaker 1: at it in jail. So basically what apparently happened is
Speaker 1: one member from Lucci side had gagged and hank like
Speaker 1: well tie Ti Hi tot tide um a member from
Speaker 1: Young Thugs why Sel gang and was trying to scrape
Speaker 1: off the tattoo of from the gang. And I think
Speaker 1: we have the clip to Lake. I can't both of him.
Speaker 1: She won't cry when you And there's a short clip
Speaker 1: of that, and then there's an extended version of that,
Speaker 1: and the one that's on Twitter is truly disturbing evil
Speaker 1: as I just don't know how to even that type
Speaker 1: of stuff. Disturbed your soul, That's what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: shut up. I disagree both for y'all. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you why why you do know they alleged well,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say allegedly, but they stabbed wife and
Speaker 1: Lucian jail like they stabbed him like three or four times.
Speaker 1: So if you stabbed me, am I gonna have any
Speaker 1: remorse of what I do as revenge? No? Do you
Speaker 1: stabbed me first? Ye, you're right, but there's still levels
Speaker 1: of violence. I could have died. No, there's no level
Speaker 1: that's torture. What you saw right there is disturbing torture.
Speaker 1: That's an evil human being. That's the type of person
Speaker 1: that will walk into your house, slaughter you all, your children,
Speaker 1: your wife, your grandma everyone. It wouldn't think twice about bro,
Speaker 1: this is war. You stabbed me, You tried to kill me. Hey,
Speaker 1: you tried to kill me, take my life away. So
Speaker 1: now I have to be like, well, look, I gotta
Speaker 1: be nicer to you when you're telling me that wasn't
Speaker 1: pure evil what you heard just name it's all pure evil,
Speaker 1: way all pure. And I just hate more than the other.
Speaker 1: I just hate how community. Look. Oh man, I see
Speaker 1: a video like that, I'm like, whatever, the white man,
Speaker 1: does the Negroes like that? You guys just let happen? Oh,
Speaker 1: stop it? Okay, I don't. I don't want any prison
Speaker 1: reform for that. And that was wild. It needs to
Speaker 1: be in the worst possible conditions. And what's wild is
Speaker 1: they tape it and then put it out. That's my point.
Speaker 1: And then also it was wild is that they're letting
Speaker 1: them do that. So where are the people, the election officers,
Speaker 1: correction officers, where are they at? And I don't even
Speaker 1: think that's prison. That's I think that's the county that
Speaker 1: still counting that county. I'm not sure. I think they're
Speaker 1: stilln county. Come on, man, that man got that's that's
Speaker 1: that's a different level of evil. But but if you
Speaker 1: stabbed me, trying to kill me, im I supposed to
Speaker 1: think about what I you say, there's no levels to evil, right,
Speaker 1: if you try to kill me, there's no levels? No, Okay,
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. Um, Jeffrey Dahma
Speaker 1: wasn't on a different level of evil than somebody who
Speaker 1: might just walk up to you and shoot you. No,
Speaker 1: it's different because I'm you tried to kill me. Sure,
Speaker 1: not a person just je just trying to kill somebody.
Speaker 1: You tried to kill me, but you mentioned that. This
Speaker 1: is good that you mentioned that, because that was so
Speaker 1: hard for me to just watch that whole situation with
Speaker 1: the Jeffrey Dahmer stuff, because it definitely glamorized the whole situation.
Speaker 1: It should not have been made into a series. We
Speaker 1: did not need to see that. There were people online
Speaker 1: talking about, oh Jeffrey dahma was fine, Oh lord, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean that he preyed on black gay
Speaker 1: men like ate them up and were sitting there acting
Speaker 1: like I was like the culture sometimes you see certain
Speaker 1: things and you like throw it all the way, and
Speaker 1: this is one of the stories that that's how I feel.
Speaker 1: This is disturbing. I was like when I saw it,
Speaker 1: I was like, it's like, yeah, that was that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I'm glad I'm not in that life. But if
Speaker 1: somebody tries to kill me, yes, I'm if I catch you.
Speaker 1: If you try to nobody like that, why not if
Speaker 1: you try to kill me and stand you're not torturing.
Speaker 1: That is something actually that I have been thinking about
Speaker 1: because you know, with all the robberies and stuff that's
Speaker 1: been happening in LA I was thinking about getting the gun,
Speaker 1: and I have to ask myself if someone came in
Speaker 1: my house, would I actually use it? Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: know how to absolutely, I don't know, just for materialistic
Speaker 1: things that's ensure. How do you know how your life?
Speaker 1: How do you know? It's just they can be trying
Speaker 1: to kill somebody's exclusive material that you're protecting your life, somebody.
Speaker 1: If somebody comes in in my house not asking any
Speaker 1: questions because I don't know if you're coming for material things?
Speaker 1: Are you come to take my life? So you think
Speaker 1: I should get the pial and you should learn how
Speaker 1: to use it? I think I think a black person
Speaker 1: in this country owning a legal firearm and knowing how
Speaker 1: to use it as a form of self care. How
Speaker 1: long are you in town for I take you the
Speaker 1: gun wrench? I am to Monday? Okay? Oh god um.
Speaker 1: And the next story we're talking about is Monique Monique again,
Speaker 1: is you know, letting the chop a fly? This time
Speaker 1: she's letting the chop a fly on CBS and paramount
Speaker 1: over unpaid royalties of the Parkers. So she's upset about
Speaker 1: that she's seeking royalties upon the Parkers. She considers it
Speaker 1: a breach of contract lawsuit and is filed in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Superior Court. The court documents reported that state reportedly
Speaker 1: state that the network officially depressed the show's profitability to
Speaker 1: retain millions that will otherwise the contractually due to Monique
Speaker 1: Production Company. So how do you guys feel about that?
Speaker 1: I think she should get every dime. And she said
Speaker 1: something to her statement. I think she said that the
Speaker 1: producers got their money, and so the producers, you know,
Speaker 1: the producers knew about it and they sued to get
Speaker 1: their money. But talent is always the last to note,
Speaker 1: which is very true. So I think she should get
Speaker 1: every freaking set and I believe. And I have you
Speaker 1: seen the special? Have you watched her? It was funny
Speaker 1: to me, and she took it so personal, like I
Speaker 1: did not affect her to keep it so real where
Speaker 1: she's talking about, you know, she was used to be
Speaker 1: in special ed And I was like, wow, I did
Speaker 1: see that part and it was like she was it
Speaker 1: was like she was crying one minute and then one
Speaker 1: minute she was laughing and making it funny. It was
Speaker 1: like I could feel the personal struggle in her. And
Speaker 1: I think this also represents that struggle she is fighting
Speaker 1: for what she believes as hers. It is hers, yes,
Speaker 1: and just in general, I think Monique has been right
Speaker 1: about so much and and I think sometimes we as
Speaker 1: in black media, get on the wrong side of things,
Speaker 1: and I think with her we were on the wrong
Speaker 1: side of it. A lot of us were were And
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see that she's now coming for everybody
Speaker 1: that didn't do right by her. And I feel that
Speaker 1: same way, because you know that's what I did with BT.
Speaker 1: I'm if you do wrong by me, I don't care
Speaker 1: if you black ball me. You got to get a
Speaker 1: coin out of bite. They snatched me off stage and
Speaker 1: so the girls today could stand on them. M Back
Speaker 1: in two thou thirteen, I was promoting the Red Carpet
Speaker 1: and they pulled me. How I looked, baby? I was
Speaker 1: too feminine, they said, they preferred the masculine looking Be Scott,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it, my how times a chance, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about Hey, we come back and think to do
Speaker 1: nothing like that now? All right, Well, thank you be

Speaker 1: Now you were talking about what happened with b et.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel like we need to save this
Speaker 1: for huh huh's prime time tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we need to save this. This is a good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was when I was doing my homework.
Speaker 1: I seen the story. It's good good. I mean, I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, in two I'm thirteen. It was
Speaker 1: I was hosting the Red Carpet and I was doing
Speaker 1: all of the you know, branded integrations with the Procter
Speaker 1: Gamble things and um, you know, leading up to that moment,
Speaker 1: I just felt like I wanted to be perfect. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is my time to shine. I'm going
Speaker 1: to do this. And when I arrived and started doing
Speaker 1: everything that I needed to do, um, a decision was
Speaker 1: made to you know, to take me down. And I
Speaker 1: was on live television, so I was just somebody said,
Speaker 1: you know, bees to feminine looking right now, and we
Speaker 1: want to change the look. And so I was taken down.
Speaker 1: Adrian Byline was pulled from being I think she was
Speaker 1: just attending. I think she was just attending to taking
Speaker 1: my spot. I went and had was you know, had
Speaker 1: to change my clothes and pull my hair back, take
Speaker 1: off a lot of the makeup, and put on men's clothing. Um,
Speaker 1: and then I was able to return. But in a
Speaker 1: co Hoke's capacity with Adrian byline, this is how you
Speaker 1: know so much of what those executives and these networks
Speaker 1: do is performative now because that wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 1: Absolutely ten years later you know that that you're so
Speaker 1: accepting to that because it takes a lot of people
Speaker 1: to have to make that call right. There was no pushback,
Speaker 1: like nobody said no, we're not doing that. And that's
Speaker 1: why I was. It was so important for me to
Speaker 1: do the BT show. So the opportunity came about. UM
Speaker 1: shout out to big you know, biggle in no way.
Speaker 1: I call it biggling away because she makes big things
Speaker 1: happen for herself but also people like me. Um. She
Speaker 1: had shows on BT, she had Boomerang, and she also
Speaker 1: had Twenties. But every time she would be talking about
Speaker 1: the twenties and stuff, a lot of the people would
Speaker 1: keep bringing up what BT did to me. You know.
Speaker 1: They would say, like the North still remembers like the
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, and so one thing led to another.
Speaker 1: She was like, b how can we make this right?
Speaker 1: Because I want to make this right. I'm in a
Speaker 1: position with BT now where I can bring you to
Speaker 1: the table and we can figure it out, and so
Speaker 1: she arranged a call with Scott Mills and her and myself,
Speaker 1: And initially all I wanted was an apology. All I
Speaker 1: ever wanted from the beginning of all of it, which
Speaker 1: is say we were wrong for doing this tea. I
Speaker 1: didn't care about the show. I make my money already,
Speaker 1: I've been making it. I'm an old school celebrity blogger.
Speaker 1: I get my money from the traffic, and so I've
Speaker 1: been doing good. So I just wanted to apology. But
Speaker 1: Lena's like, we're gonna get you more than an apology,
Speaker 1: and so, you know, and for me, I also wanted
Speaker 1: to forgive them. I wanted to change the narrative. I
Speaker 1: don't want to continue. I didn't want to continue going
Speaker 1: through my life. This company did wrong by me, and
Speaker 1: so for me to be able to be the first
Speaker 1: trans non binary person to host an executive producer show
Speaker 1: at BT, it was beautiful. I had a wonderful experience
Speaker 1: with the new BT. All the people that were involved
Speaker 1: in that situation with me back then we're gone. So
Speaker 1: Scott Mills, you know, was amazing. The show went smoothly,
Speaker 1: and I'm just grateful to have been able to be
Speaker 1: a part of the inclusion we see today, you know,
Speaker 1: like I was able to see what I paved the
Speaker 1: way for people didn't know that guy started. I moved
Speaker 1: to LA in two thousand and five, started doing videos
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, and I've always presented myself
Speaker 1: like this. Before there was language for it. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: the transgender non binary community, that's a whole situation, and
Speaker 1: it's in it's in the you know, like it's in
Speaker 1: the it's like a thing. Now it's trendy. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: trendy when I was Yeah, But when when I first started,
Speaker 1: I was like I would call myself and drogyness, and
Speaker 1: then it changed to gender not conforming, and then it
Speaker 1: was you know, now it was trans non binary. But
Speaker 1: my expression hasn't changed, you know, And so that was
Speaker 1: just beautiful for me. They're like damn. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm actually still made it. And when you are losing
Speaker 1: so many people in your life just because we're getting older,
Speaker 1: it was like, wow, I actually made it to this moment.
Speaker 1: The first episode of that show that I did, you know,
Speaker 1: the twenties after show would be Scott. It was just
Speaker 1: like I actually cried because I was like Damn. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm here. I would never thought that the
Speaker 1: network that was snatching me down and taking me off
Speaker 1: stage would then give me my own show that I
Speaker 1: would host and executive produce. Something that doesn't show you
Speaker 1: how God can move in somebody's life. You know, the
Speaker 1: person that's last one day could be first, and the
Speaker 1: person who's first could be last. A lot of those
Speaker 1: people that were snatching me down at BT are definitely
Speaker 1: last right now. Yeah, people will give Lena hell, but
Speaker 1: they don't realize a lot of the things that Lena
Speaker 1: does behind the scenes. For people like that, what you
Speaker 1: call it, I would tell you, I stayed to myself.
Speaker 1: I don't have no click to Lena. Lena has advocated
Speaker 1: for me the likes that no one has in my
Speaker 1: entire career and she has. And what the first episode
Speaker 1: of the show she shared with me, She's like, Lena
Speaker 1: used to watch my videos and I helped encourage her
Speaker 1: to be the person she is today. People missed that part.
Speaker 1: I was just in my living room, dancing, being myself,
Speaker 1: talking about my experiences and just being free. But ningas
Speaker 1: of people were watching back then. I think about it,
Speaker 1: Like Lena calls me often but I'm thinking about the
Speaker 1: majority of the calls that she's called me for in
Speaker 1: the last few months have all been to do with
Speaker 1: other people. Yeah, other things literally, like I'm literally including you. Literally,
Speaker 1: I've been about other people. Lena calls for something important
Speaker 1: and also Lena has the other day when she called
Speaker 1: it congratulators. But other than that, it's it's it's always
Speaker 1: something to better humanity. Yes, and she helps me have
Speaker 1: a softer heart. Sometimes I can be very oh, you
Speaker 1: did this, I'm gonna do this, and she's like, nah,
Speaker 1: She's like, just help people, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: just put out the good energy. It's gonna come back
Speaker 1: to you. And I'm more open to not standing alone.
Speaker 1: Let me let me pay it forward like she does.
Speaker 1: And that's what like showing somebody in the way is
Speaker 1: so powerful. I agree, that's right. Shout away. My sneaker
Speaker 1: game is still better than yours, Lena. We got the
Speaker 1: positive notes, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good
Speaker 1: morning Burning. Everybody is stej Envy, Charlemagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: all the breakfast club be Scott our co host is here.

Speaker 1: up in the morning. I don't. But because I have
Speaker 1: an extra component that you guys don't like. I do GLAMR.
Speaker 1: So like I woke up this morning at three, you know,
Speaker 1: I had to wake myself up, get my face acclimated.
Speaker 1: I don't want to scare the people when they show up.
Speaker 1: I got to pick my face and but no, I
Speaker 1: think that. But for you guys, once you get used
Speaker 1: to it, you used to it. Now it's your life.
Speaker 1: This is what you do. And I think if it
Speaker 1: was my life and something I was doing every day,
