Speaker 1: right now and we'll get into it. It's the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club money, It's the World Knows Dangerous Morning show to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Charlemagne God Angela Ye, it's time for front
Speaker 1: page news. What we got ye? All right, well, let's
Speaker 1: talk about it. Man. Imagine this. You're traveling back to
Speaker 1: the United States from Jamaica and with you you bring
Speaker 1: three jars of honey. What do you think that would
Speaker 1: cause you to go to jail for almost three months?
Speaker 1: It depends if honey is illegal and wherever the hell
Speaker 1: you're traveling from, because you know, when you come from
Speaker 1: these different places, they tell you that you can't bring
Speaker 1: certain goods and you have to declare, well, honey is
Speaker 1: not illegal. It was just three jars of honey. And
Speaker 1: Leone Haughton was flying back from Jamaica and apparently they
Speaker 1: told him that he had a controlled substance that he
Speaker 1: was trying to bring into the country. It was a methamphetamine,
Speaker 1: they said. And he's from he lives in Maryland. He
Speaker 1: spent eighty two days in jail after he got arrested
Speaker 1: December twenty ninth. He stayed there until March. That's when
Speaker 1: the charges were dropped against him and they found out
Speaker 1: there was no controlled substance in those jars of honey
Speaker 1: according to a lab. So now he went to sue.
Speaker 1: But when he came home, he lost all of his insurance,
Speaker 1: his credit was destroyed, he lost his job, everything to
Speaker 1: MESSI has six children, so he lost all of that
Speaker 1: while sitting behind bars for doing nothing wrong to honey.
Speaker 1: And they said it was reference. Well, according to authorities,
Speaker 1: they said that when they searched the bag, the honey
Speaker 1: tested positive for drugs. You know how they swab it
Speaker 1: when they're like, okay, if you get a random search
Speaker 1: or something happened to get flagged, and then they put
Speaker 1: that little that wipe on you and then they can
Speaker 1: search it. And they said they were drugs. And then
Speaker 1: they also said that specially trained drug sniffing dog was
Speaker 1: alerted to the presence of a controlled dangerous substance and
Speaker 1: and a preliminary test done by a police officers tested positive.
Speaker 1: They tested it positive. You can't request the second opinion
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Well, they did end up getting one,
Speaker 1: but I guess it took three months until the lab
Speaker 1: in Georgia tested it out and found there was no
Speaker 1: sign to drugs. So who could he sue? I guess
Speaker 1: he can probably sue. I would think customs And he
Speaker 1: said there will be lawsuits coming soon. They should all
Speaker 1: right now. Dorian Tropical Storm Dorian is expected to make
Speaker 1: landfall in Puerto Rico today. They've closed schools today in
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. They said there would be dangerous rains in
Speaker 1: the island and a lot of people are traveling this weekend,
Speaker 1: so just be careful. I was supposed to go to
Speaker 1: Miami actually on Friday, and the whole event got canceled
Speaker 1: because they're expecting some pretty serious tropical storms. So right now,
Speaker 1: Tropical Storm Dorian is in the Caribbean Sea right near
Speaker 1: Guadalupe and Montserrat, and they said it will reach Puerto
Speaker 1: Rico in the mid day or afternoon today. So they
Speaker 1: do have three hundred and sixty shelters available across the
Speaker 1: island that can hold about forty eight thousand people. And
Speaker 1: if you like to travel by the way, Delta Airlines
Speaker 1: is hiring one thousand flight attendants for their twenty twenty class.
Speaker 1: So if you ever thought about becoming a flight attendant,
Speaker 1: now's the time for you to try to get in
Speaker 1: there on Delta Airlines. All right. And Popeyes is out
Speaker 1: of their chicken sandwiches. They've sold out. They posted on Twitter, y'all,
Speaker 1: we love that you love the sandwich. Unfortunately we're sold
Speaker 1: out for now, so that whole inventory is gone now.
Speaker 1: They do say when they bring that sandwich back, it'll
Speaker 1: be back for good next time, so it won't be
Speaker 1: just something that they're testing anymore. When they bring the
Speaker 1: sandwich back, it's back for good. I'm so damn tired
Speaker 1: to hearing about chicken sandwiches. I don't want to eat
Speaker 1: nobody's chicken sandwich at this point. I haven't had the
Speaker 1: Popaye chicken sandwich, but at this point in my life,
Speaker 1: I don't want nobody's chicken sands. I'm just tied and
Speaker 1: hearing the word chicken sandwich, y'all, ain't hurt chicken too
Speaker 1: much this week. You talked about it a lot. I
Speaker 1: talked about it when it first started. That was like
Speaker 1: a week ago, before the weeks ago. Yeah, way before
Speaker 1: the hoopla. There was hoopla before you started talking about it. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about it. A lot of hoopla
Speaker 1: before that. I heard about it because of the young
Speaker 1: ladies who work here, and they said how good it was,
Speaker 1: and Dan our producers said how good it was, and
Speaker 1: also trying that one day, and they were beefing on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Chick fil A was beefing with Wendy's and Popeyes and
Speaker 1: all of them were beefing about it before that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was much later. After I suggested that I want
Speaker 1: to eat one. It was two weeks ago. I'll talk
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, No, trust me, it was already a
Speaker 1: big deal before because when you when you started talking
Speaker 1: about it, everybody was like, yeah, you didn't hear about
Speaker 1: it already. Well guess what I'm over it? Well, get
Speaker 1: ready for KFC because they're going to be doing that
Speaker 1: beyond Meat Friday Chicken. So I'm gonna try it and
Speaker 1: I'll let y'all know how it is. But I think
Speaker 1: they're only doing it in Atlanta at first, so I'll
Speaker 1: be in Atlanta and oh, they're only testing it at
Speaker 1: one location in Atlanta. I don't understand how people cannot
Speaker 1: want to eat genetically modified chicken, but then running the
Speaker 1: cat see to go eat genetically modified chicken. Beyond Meat
Speaker 1: is not genetically modified. If you look at their website,
Speaker 1: it says non GMO. Specifically, if it's plant based chicken,
Speaker 1: it is genetically modified. You have to make that somewhere.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you have to make that song right now.
Speaker 1: If you look at it, it's non GMO and that's
Speaker 1: approved by the FDA. Whoever got the chicken garden? Nowaday
Speaker 1: that's growing the chickens, Please hid at me so I
Speaker 1: can know it's not GMO. I need to see the
Speaker 1: chickens on the vine or something, all right, I need
Speaker 1: to see him grow from the route. Well, they already
Speaker 1: started testing it in Atlanta and it's sold out in
Speaker 1: five hours. In that local people think they're eating something healthy.
Speaker 1: If you stamp healthy on something and stamp vegan on something,
Speaker 1: people are rushed to do it in this era. Yeah,
Speaker 1: didn't we just talked about how to beyond me? It
Speaker 1: ain't really that good for you. Yeah, it's just if
Speaker 1: you're a vegetarian and you don't eat meat, it's an
Speaker 1: option for you. So, but what is it? P isolate?
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. That sounds like something
Speaker 1: you got to get a shot for. All right, well,
Speaker 1: that is your front page and news. I'm aula ye yes,

Speaker 1: to get it off your chest. Who is this Victoria?
Speaker 1: Hey Victoria, Hi, you sound like you're in a good mood.
Speaker 1: I'm actually headed to work. I just stopped my three
Speaker 1: year old off. I'm headed to work. I just want
Speaker 1: to drop my chest. I'm twenty four years old and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a way to get instead of acting.
Speaker 1: I've been trying since I was eighteen, and I just
Speaker 1: don't always start reacting to say because I'm from a
Speaker 1: small town and from and it's just like even when
Speaker 1: I go to like auditions in Miami, it's like you
Speaker 1: have to all pay twenty five hundred dollars just to
Speaker 1: get schooled out, to get food up. We got the
Speaker 1: Atlanta or California just to take the classes and stuff,
Speaker 1: and I don't have it. I'm in school, I'm working
Speaker 1: a full time job and I'm a full time off
Speaker 1: So I don't know what. I don't know what to
Speaker 1: tell you. Your dreams cost baby costs money to pursue
Speaker 1: your dreams. And you know, I think I think the
Speaker 1: acting classes is in la and in Atlanta, so that's
Speaker 1: where you need to be. Yeah, you have to get
Speaker 1: your acting on and I will say this a lot
Speaker 1: of times you can audition for things too on video,
Speaker 1: so you should just make sure you pay attention to
Speaker 1: those opportunities. But you gotta get out there in network,
Speaker 1: and you got an audition, and you have to perfect
Speaker 1: your craft, and once was a website to do it at.
Speaker 1: Don't you got to have an agent looking at agents
Speaker 1: set up your auditions. I mean I don't know if
Speaker 1: you can get an agent, but that's also not easy.
Speaker 1: You have to get to a point where agent wants
Speaker 1: to sign you. As what I'm telling her, because I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a website you can go to and
Speaker 1: just upload videos of you auditioning, because yeah, because they
Speaker 1: had I had set up for the pilot Perry Emails
Speaker 1: to get the newsletters on when you have auditions, and
Speaker 1: I just say it was like, oh, you will have
Speaker 1: to do this that. I'm like, okay, like I don't
Speaker 1: mind doing actually I trust that. But all the other
Speaker 1: websites just like, oh, you will have to send us
Speaker 1: doing this to day you an audition. I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Well, make sure you look at backstage
Speaker 1: dot com because that's a very official place. But you
Speaker 1: can see it, and they also have other actors audition tapes,
Speaker 1: so you can see what those look like. So you
Speaker 1: can see some people who are famous now what their
Speaker 1: audition tapes look like, so you can get some great
Speaker 1: ideas and how you should be looking. You should film
Speaker 1: yourself too, so that when it's time for you to
Speaker 1: get those auditions, you're ready. So I always feel like
Speaker 1: it's important to get ready. And I don't understand why
Speaker 1: you're complaining about receiving directions. If you're calling these people
Speaker 1: and they're telling you what to do, that's not you
Speaker 1: can't just say that's are telling me to do this
Speaker 1: and do that. That's giving you directions on what to do. No,
Speaker 1: they want me to send at eight hundred dollars in
Speaker 1: getting there was like getting I could come and I
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't even know you guys about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know about all that. It shouldn't cost no
Speaker 1: money to audition, but I would I would definitely look
Speaker 1: at backstage dot com. Okay, thank you, no problem, Let's
Speaker 1: get it off your chests. We do that every morning.
Speaker 1: Now listen. I want to salute Nicole Handah Jones. She'll
Speaker 1: be here next hole. If you don't know who Nicole
Speaker 1: Hannah Jones is, she's an American investigative journalist. And there's
Speaker 1: this great piece in the New York Times that came
Speaker 1: out about a week and a half ago called the
Speaker 1: sixteen nineteen Project. And you know, it's all about four
Speaker 1: hundred years after enslaved Africans were first brought to Virginia.
Speaker 1: A lot of Americans still don't know the full story
Speaker 1: of slavery, and they tell it in this sixteen nineteen project.
Speaker 1: And then Coole Hannah Jones will be here to talk
Speaker 1: about it next hour. Now we gotta get it off.
Speaker 1: We got coming up next, reporter Yeam report is coming up,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about a comedian who handled things
Speaker 1: terribly wrong on stage. He's been up here to the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club before. Also, we have to give a congratulations
Speaker 1: to a woman who has found her true love and
Speaker 1: also having a baby. All right, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club. Listen, it's reports, it's
Speaker 1: a rule report, all right. Now, Janello Nay has apologized
Speaker 1: no reason. I didn't really think this was a bad
Speaker 1: idea what her suggestion was. But everybody's trying to get
Speaker 1: those Popeyes chicken sandwiches, and we told you in the
Speaker 1: front page news that they are sold out for now.
Speaker 1: She said, perhaps we put voting booths at every Popeye's
Speaker 1: location while we wait on that sandwich. You can register
Speaker 1: and vote at Popeye's. Holla, what's the problem. It sound
Speaker 1: like a bad idea to me, And she has since
Speaker 1: apologized for no reason. Bunk with your social media pressure.
Speaker 1: She said, you know, when other people say things on
Speaker 1: here that are wrong, I'm misguided. I wonder why don't
Speaker 1: they just admit they're wrong and learn from it. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to do that now. I think the twisted
Speaker 1: I posted about registering and voting were insensitive and wrong,
Speaker 1: especially the way they ignore the very real issues of
Speaker 1: voter suppression that have impacted my community for years and
Speaker 1: me directly thanks to all of you for calling me out,
Speaker 1: helping me remember and me focus on the bigger issues.
Speaker 1: Just because everybody gets outraged, don't mean that they right.
Speaker 1: You mean to tell me her suggesting that we should
Speaker 1: register people to vote as a problem. Like, there's a
Speaker 1: kid in Charlotte No Can line. His name was David Ledbetter.
Speaker 1: He did the same exact thing this weekend. He went
Speaker 1: to Popeyes and he was out there trying to register
Speaker 1: people to vote. Most people in the line were already registered,
Speaker 1: but who cares. He was out there doing his due diligence.
Speaker 1: When you want to register people to vote, especially young ones,
Speaker 1: you go where they are, Like, what's the problem? Media
Speaker 1: fresh reason people thought this was targeted toward black people,
Speaker 1: which I didn't take it as that when I read it.
Speaker 1: Some of y'all everyone the reason Popeyes chicken sandwiches and
Speaker 1: sold that is because everyone's going to get them. Some
Speaker 1: of y'all too woke. You need some sleep y'all woke
Speaker 1: too long and it's starting to affect your like, just
Speaker 1: just just minds. Okay, you sound stupid, because, by the way,
Speaker 1: if you pay attention, anywhere you go where there's a
Speaker 1: crowd over the next year, you're going to see people
Speaker 1: out there registering people to vote. I don't care if
Speaker 1: it's a concert, I don't care. If it's Angela Ye day,
Speaker 1: I don't care. If it's at the mall. You're going
Speaker 1: to wherever there's large crowds of people, you're going to
Speaker 1: see people out there registering people to vote for the
Speaker 1: next year. And we'll be out they're helping register people
Speaker 1: to vote. Yeah, if you actually pay attention, you will
Speaker 1: see that everywhere you go for the next year. And
Speaker 1: by the way, just how y'all know you can register
Speaker 1: to vote at the library as well. All right in
Speaker 1: our line, meek Mill has pleaded guilty again in that
Speaker 1: old gun case that he had, so finally things are
Speaker 1: over and done with. He pled guilty to misdemean in
Speaker 1: a possession of a firearm without a license, and all
Speaker 1: of those charges which he was originally convicted for were
Speaker 1: all dropped. In two thousand and eight, he was found
Speaker 1: guilty of seven charges for it which related to the gun.
Speaker 1: So he spoke briefly after that and he said this
Speaker 1: meek free. I'm not on probation no more. Have they
Speaker 1: gonna cut no more? Thank y'all. I appreciate that a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to come up here myself and
Speaker 1: think all the supporters because I know y'all probably got
Speaker 1: family members in jail, people going through the same thing
Speaker 1: as me. And I will continue to do what I
Speaker 1: do with the reform movement and help the people that
Speaker 1: helped me. Yeah, salute to Miki. Fought his way out
Speaker 1: the system. Took a lot of money and resources, but
Speaker 1: he got it done. So now he gotta pay forward
Speaker 1: about continuing to help those who don't have those money
Speaker 1: and resources. Now he had a choice. It could have
Speaker 1: gone to trial if he wanted to, but he yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't feel like doing all that. It's all done
Speaker 1: over with clothes and me. Please please keep your nose clean.
Speaker 1: Don't get arrested. All right, you know them, You know
Speaker 1: they're on your ass right now? Why they say keep
Speaker 1: your nose clean? Because I always think of drugs when
Speaker 1: people say that keep your nose clean. I don't know

Speaker 1: we are going to talk about a TV anchor who

Speaker 1: most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God, Angela.
Speaker 1: Year is Wednesday, God damn it. Right yeah, all day
Speaker 1: to day is Wednesday. All right, front page DW what
Speaker 1: we got you? All right, Well, let's talk about an
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City news anchor having to apologize to her co host. Now.
Speaker 1: Alex Houston of kao CEO's fives Morning show said she
Speaker 1: wanted to apologize to her co worker Jason Hackett, her colleague,
Speaker 1: because there's something that she said that was very hurtful.
Speaker 1: There was a segment about an ape caretaker who took
Speaker 1: over the social media for the Oklahoma City Zoo and
Speaker 1: while showing the video of a baby gorilla, this is
Speaker 1: what she said to her co worker. Okay, you have
Speaker 1: to see this. This is Fenn. We're about to show.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I can look at He is a
Speaker 1: resident of the Oklahoma City Zoo and this week the
Speaker 1: zoo's an ape caretaker took over their Instagram and we
Speaker 1: are all woman that they did. Now, as you can see,
Speaker 1: Fenn was fascinated. I was like, yeah, so she's white,
Speaker 1: he's black. So she basically told her black co worker
Speaker 1: that the ape looks like him. Well, she has since apologized,
Speaker 1: I'm here this morning because I want to not only
Speaker 1: to find co winker Jason's mature, entire community. I said
Speaker 1: something yesterday that was inconsiderate. It was inappropriate, and I
Speaker 1: hurt people. And I want you to know I understand
Speaker 1: how much I hurt you out there and how much
Speaker 1: I hurt you. I love you so much, and you
Speaker 1: know it's been one of my best friends for about
Speaker 1: year and a half and I would never do anything
Speaker 1: on purpose to hurt you. As I sipped some tea
Speaker 1: out of my white tears mug I just want y'all
Speaker 1: to know that generational trauma is real, because nothing scares
Speaker 1: me more than a white woman crying. And it's amazing
Speaker 1: to me how she's crying because she's wrong. But I
Speaker 1: was afraid for that man as he was sitting there
Speaker 1: like he was about to get in trouble for me
Speaker 1: and that white woman cry even though he's in the right.
Speaker 1: Ain't that something? Yeah, Jesus, listen, it's never a good
Speaker 1: idea just for anybody out there to say that your
Speaker 1: black co worker looks like an eighth a gorilla a monkey,
Speaker 1: even if they do look like an eighth gorilla monkey,
Speaker 1: keep that to yourself. I wish for that to your
Speaker 1: little friends, all right, when nobody's around. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: so she has to apologize now, per Due Farmer, we've
Speaker 1: been telling you about these opioid claims and settlements. They've
Speaker 1: bought for ten to twelve billion dollars Perdue Farmer to
Speaker 1: set up opioid claims. So they met in Cleveland. They're
Speaker 1: the makers of oxycotton and okay, yeah, you're a party popping.
Speaker 1: So they are responsible for starting and sustaining the OPA crisis.
Speaker 1: That's what it's been alled to at least ten state
Speaker 1: attorney generals and plaintiffs attorneys gathered in Cleveland where they
Speaker 1: actually sat down and came up with this. The Saclo
Speaker 1: family built a multi billion dollar drug empire based on addiction,
Speaker 1: according to the new Jersey Attorney General, and so now
Speaker 1: Perdue Farmer is offering that is it their fault though,
Speaker 1: because it's not like they was marketing the drugs for
Speaker 1: the use of like you know, kid just to be
Speaker 1: getting high for recreation, right, Yeah, But they also grossly
Speaker 1: misrepresented the risks of using them long term for people
Speaker 1: who have chronic pain. They make it seem like it's
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. They don't talk about the addiction
Speaker 1: part of it. And a lot of times these prescriptions
Speaker 1: are getting written out too easily. It isn't a lot
Speaker 1: of that only the doctor. Doesn't the doctor prescribe it
Speaker 1: and tell you, okay, be on it for this amount
Speaker 1: of time, and then that's that it could have been
Speaker 1: misrepresented to the doctors as well. The way they market it.
Speaker 1: I just think it's so much gray area when it
Speaker 1: comes to that, like I'm just making the product, I'm
Speaker 1: not telling people how to use it. Well, clearly they
Speaker 1: feel responsible. If you make billions and billions of dollars
Speaker 1: off of people's pain, at some point, you're responsible. So
Speaker 1: when we're gonna suit these fast food restaurants they forgiving
Speaker 1: all the people have food. Oh that's happens. Well, Papayes,
Speaker 1: y'all got some lawsuits coming. Y'all way, if I know them.
Speaker 1: Popeyes Chicken Sandwich is calling. Popeyes Chicken Sandwiches are sold out,
Speaker 1: so they are going to bring it back. They said
Speaker 1: on Twitter, y'all, we love that you love the sandwich.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we're sold out for now, but they are going
Speaker 1: to permanently add that as it seems like people love
Speaker 1: it enough for that to happen. And again, I just
Speaker 1: want to reiterate to make sure that when you're traveling
Speaker 1: this weekend, pay attention. I know it is a holiday weekend,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to the Caribbean, they're
Speaker 1: going to Florida. Just know that there are going to
Speaker 1: be tropical storms. Tropical Storm Dorian is hitting Puerto Rico today.
Speaker 1: They've actually closed the schools in Puerto Rico today. And
Speaker 1: I was supposed to go to Miami this weekend that
Speaker 1: got canceled because of the tropical storms that are supposed
Speaker 1: to be coming, so all parts of the Caribbeans supposed
Speaker 1: to be affected. Well right now in the Caribbean, see
Speaker 1: the Dorian is just west of Guadaloupe and Montserrat, where
Speaker 1: my mom is from, and it's reaching Puerto Rico today,
Speaker 1: So just make sure you keep checking because you know
Speaker 1: these storms can't move. But again, they said from Wednesday
Speaker 1: to Thursday, Puertico could get four to eight inches of rain.
Speaker 1: They saying Dominican Republic could get up to four inches
Speaker 1: Haiti virgin Islands, So just be careful if you're traveling,
Speaker 1: all right and check that's front page news. Listen. Coming
Speaker 1: up next, we have a young lady named Nicole handed Jones.
Speaker 1: She's an investigative journalist for the New York Times. I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all have read this article that they
Speaker 1: have called the sixteen nineteen Project, but it's just it's
Speaker 1: basically about four hundred years after enslaved Africans being brought
Speaker 1: to Virginia, a lot of Americans still don't know the
Speaker 1: full story of slavery, and the sixteen nineteen Project tells
Speaker 1: you the full story of slavery in a real way
Speaker 1: and then Coole handed Jones will be here on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club to talk about it. All right, it's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. DJ Envy and Angela Yee, Charlomage Nagad, we
Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club. You have a special guest in
Speaker 1: the buildings. Indeed, Nicole Hannah Jones welcome. Thank you that
Speaker 1: she's a staff writer for the New York Times magazine
Speaker 1: and author of the sixteen nineteen Project. Man, if you
Speaker 1: have not read the sixteen nineteen project, you need to.
Speaker 1: It's infuriating, all right, but most stories about slavery offers
Speaker 1: for black people. But what made you want to release
Speaker 1: this project? Now, there's a couple of things. So I've
Speaker 1: been obsessed with sixteen nineteen for a long time. I
Speaker 1: first came across that data in high school, and I
Speaker 1: had never been taught that people of African descent had
Speaker 1: been here that long, which felt very intentional. So as
Speaker 1: the anniversary, the four hundredth anniversary was approaching, I just
Speaker 1: knew most American households, we're gonna it was gonna pass
Speaker 1: and people wouldn't even know it was an anniversary. We're
Speaker 1: not going to take this moment to commemorate what that meant,
Speaker 1: and it just seemed like a great opportunity to kind
Speaker 1: of force this country to reckon with the legacy of slavery.
Speaker 1: And of course, what I'm arguing in sixteen nineteen is
Speaker 1: as foundational to the American story as the year seventeen
Speaker 1: seventy six. Yeah, you said, I think you said in
Speaker 1: the article that there was no American democracy until black people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. So if you think about that, when Thomas
Speaker 1: Jefferson is writing the Declaration of Independent saying that all
Speaker 1: men are created equal, given inalienabout writes by our creator,
Speaker 1: he owns one hundred and thirty human beings and actually
Speaker 1: has his enslaved brother in law there with him to
Speaker 1: keep him comfortable as he's writing those words. And majority
Speaker 1: of the founders were enslavers. They owned other humans. The
Speaker 1: Constitution codify slavery and denies the vote to most Americans,
Speaker 1: so women can't vote under that original constitution Native people,
Speaker 1: in black people, that's not democracy. But black folks actually
Speaker 1: took those words literally and really, through two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty years of struggle and resistance, started to make our
Speaker 1: founding documents real. Yeah, it was something you said something
Speaker 1: in one of these I know. I think it was
Speaker 1: in chapter one where you talked about how slaves always rebelled, Yes,
Speaker 1: like you know, and I think that's what a misconception,
Speaker 1: especially when Kanye said slavery was a choice. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're definitely not going to talk about what Kanye said
Speaker 1: about favors. Is that's ridiculous. We people of African descent
Speaker 1: rebel before we even got to the slave ship. We
Speaker 1: were rebelling when they were trying to force us onto
Speaker 1: the ships. We rebelled on the ships, and we certainly rebelled.
Speaker 1: I mean one of the very first slave rebellions occurs
Speaker 1: in the sixteen hundreds. Constantly people were fighting. Of course
Speaker 1: they were like, it's illogical to think that people ever
Speaker 1: accepted slavery, But we also had to think about what
Speaker 1: the odds were. Right, We had no weapons, no army
Speaker 1: in many you know, we were outnumbered in the United States.
Speaker 1: Yet even so we were constantly fighting and rebellion and
Speaker 1: both using the law and using the same means as
Speaker 1: a revolutionaries in that we would at times take a
Speaker 1: violence to try to gain our freedom. What makes you
Speaker 1: so passionate about this project because I write about race
Speaker 1: and inequality for a living and we all hear people
Speaker 1: look at the circumstances that Black Americans live in today
Speaker 1: and they say that this is just because somehow we're pathological,
Speaker 1: somehow we don't want better. But we live in circumstances
Speaker 1: that were intentionally created. And the anti black racism that
Speaker 1: begins to justify slavery is the same anti black racism
Speaker 1: that keeps black people in the conditions we are now.
Speaker 1: I think that we would prefer to deny the truth
Speaker 1: of our history. We want to believe that we are
Speaker 1: an exceptional country, when really we were just one of
Speaker 1: many nations that practice slavery that deprived individuals of their rights.
Speaker 1: And so if we're ever going to truly address the
Speaker 1: conditions that people live in now, we have to deal
Speaker 1: with how we got here. And you can see that
Speaker 1: with the conservative activists that rush to condemn your project.
Speaker 1: I think I think Eric Ericson he described the project
Speaker 1: as opinion writers who profit from seeing things through racial
Speaker 1: lenses and keeping racial tension of flame as much as
Speaker 1: Trump does one. You have to laugh at anyone who's
Speaker 1: mad that you see slavery through a racial lens. Slavery
Speaker 1: was clearly created through a racial Lens. But most of
Speaker 1: the conservatives who have come out against the project, it's
Speaker 1: because they haven't read a single word of it. They're
Speaker 1: not calling out the facts of it. They can't argue
Speaker 1: the facts. They just don't like what it's saying. And
Speaker 1: that's because we're not used to centering black folks. We're
Speaker 1: used to black people being either invisible or treated as
Speaker 1: the bottom. And what this project is saying is we're
Speaker 1: actually the real Americans. We believed in equality and the
Speaker 1: ideals of the Founding documents even when the founders did it,
Speaker 1: and that makes people very upset, I expect it. So
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts and reparations as we've been talking
Speaker 1: about it, what do you think about reparations and what
Speaker 1: do you think we should get if you believe in it?
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm a journalist, not an activist, but
Speaker 1: what I will say is I don't know how you
Speaker 1: come you read this project and not come away with
Speaker 1: the realization that something is clearly old strip away, you know,
Speaker 1: centuries of the ability to create wealth, not just from slavery,
Speaker 1: but one hundred years of legal apartheid and even what's
Speaker 1: happening now, and not believe that something is old to
Speaker 1: those descendants to try to make it right. So one
Speaker 1: of the pieces that will be coming later in the
Speaker 1: project will really be at a piece that's assessing what
Speaker 1: is old and how do we get to it. Well,
Speaker 1: what you're saying is true, but that's all ties into
Speaker 1: the fact that that's why probably why they always try
Speaker 1: to dismiss it and overlook it and discredit it, because
Speaker 1: as long as they can do that, then they never
Speaker 1: have to deal with realization. Yet we do all these
Speaker 1: these people. What's amazing, this is why I love history,
Speaker 1: I study history so much, is white Americans were arguing
Speaker 1: against reparations. Like literally, in the months after slavery ended,
Speaker 1: when you had actual victims of people who had like
Speaker 1: two months earlier been enslaved, white Americans were saying, well,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't give them anything special. It's gonna make them lazy.
Speaker 1: So this argument that black people owe nothing for enslavement
Speaker 1: really began right at the end of enslavement, when you
Speaker 1: had living victims of the institution. We've never wanted to
Speaker 1: make this right. Really, if you read my opening piece,
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln, once he decided he needed to end slavery,
Speaker 1: wanted to send black people somewhere else did not want
Speaker 1: us to be here, So we were never supposed to
Speaker 1: actually exist in America outside of being used for bondage.
Speaker 1: And we've actually as a people been being punished ever since.
Speaker 1: And he gave the slave masters reparations. Yes, yes, So
Speaker 1: only people in America who have ever received reparations for
Speaker 1: slavery have been the white people who enslaved us. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: You started off by talking about the fact that they
Speaker 1: don't educate us on slave Why do you Why do
Speaker 1: you think that is? I think there's two reasons, so slavery.
Speaker 1: The very fact that there are forty million black people
Speaker 1: in this country right now gives lie to our founding myth. Right,
Speaker 1: our founding myth is that we are a country born
Speaker 1: out of freedom, out of the desire to be free.
Speaker 1: But you can't really make that argument when the very
Speaker 1: people who founded this country were enslaving one fifth of
Speaker 1: the population, one out of every twenty Americans at the
Speaker 1: revolution were enslaved. So because of that, we don't want
Speaker 1: to teach about this thing that gives lie to who
Speaker 1: we are. How do you teach about the greatness of
Speaker 1: George Washington and they say he owned two hundred people
Speaker 1: and forced them to work on a slave labor camp.
Speaker 1: How do you teach about Thomas Jefferson and say, you know,
Speaker 1: look at Monticello, but enslaved people who are getting their
Speaker 1: backs laid open with whips are the ones who built Monticello.
Speaker 1: They're the ones who produce the wealth that allows Thomas Jefferson,
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty three, to be able to
Speaker 1: write the Declaration. Right, So all of these things are
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable because they give lie to who we want
Speaker 1: to believe we are as Americans. However, are that the
Speaker 1: founders even though they didn't believe in the ideals, they
Speaker 1: set out the ideals in the template that allowed black
Speaker 1: people to fight and resist and bring us closer to
Speaker 1: our democracy. So we shouldn't actually be ashamed of that.
Speaker 1: We should actually feel very good about that. But it's
Speaker 1: just we don't want to deal with our founding hypocrisy
Speaker 1: and our paradox. We want to believe that we were
Speaker 1: the greatest, most freest country in the world, and it's
Speaker 1: just not true. All Right, we got more conversation with
Speaker 1: Nicole Hannah. We're gonna talk more about this sixteen nineteen project.
Speaker 1: If you haven't read it, man, go through your Google's
Speaker 1: right now and read it. But we'll be back with
Speaker 1: more than the Coole Hannah Jones right here on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. It's the world most Dangerous morning show to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and the the god Head. We're back with
Speaker 1: Nicole Hannah Jones. She is an investigative journalist for the
Speaker 1: New York Times and they got this amazing piece called
Speaker 1: the sixteen nineteen Project that's available right now now. Nicole,
Speaker 1: you know, even when you talk about this being the
Speaker 1: four hundred fan anniversary of slavery, I always wanted to
Speaker 1: how should I responded at it? That's something to be celebrated. No,
Speaker 1: certainly not celebrated, but it's something we should commemorate and mark.
Speaker 1: It's not a history. It's really saying you can look
Speaker 1: across all these aspects of modern day society and see
Speaker 1: the legacy of slavery. And I'll just give a quick example.
Speaker 1: We're the only Western industrialized country that doesn't have universal healthcare,
Speaker 1: the only one that goes back to slavery and the
Speaker 1: desire to deny black people access to common goods. So
Speaker 1: when you look at polling on this, if white Americans
Speaker 1: believe that black people will benefit from a social program,
Speaker 1: they oppose that program. So this racialized opposition means not
Speaker 1: only are black people being hurt, but millions of white
Speaker 1: Americans don't have health insurance, can't get access to good healthcare,
Speaker 1: are dying because of white racism against black folks. So
Speaker 1: you can't even contain the harm. And in the magazine,
Speaker 1: we give tons of examples, right, sugar, why there's so
Speaker 1: much traffic in Atlanta, Geography, capitalism, the dysfunction in our politics.
Speaker 1: All of this kind of goes back to that original sin.
Speaker 1: And that's really what this project is trying to do.
Speaker 1: It's not just force us to reckon with the past,
Speaker 1: but forces to reckon with the ways that all Americans
Speaker 1: are still suffering from that legacy. Did you say traffic
Speaker 1: in Atlanta? Yes, explain it. So there's a piece in
Speaker 1: there that talks about how when they're designing the Interstate
Speaker 1: Highway system in Atlanta, they're really including hearts Mayor Heartsfield,
Speaker 1: whom the Atlanta Airport is named after, wants to create
Speaker 1: traffic patterns that will split black communities off from white communities. Really,
Speaker 1: you have to be at the new York Times to
Speaker 1: make sure these stories that told I don't understand why
Speaker 1: we get so upset when all people want to see
Speaker 1: to the table. I'll get to see at the table. Now,
Speaker 1: it clearly matters what you do when you get that
Speaker 1: seat at the table. Like, if you go into these
Speaker 1: institutions and you're not pressing back and you're not pushing
Speaker 1: back against the narrative and creating a counter narrative, then
Speaker 1: it doesn't do any good for us to be there.
Speaker 1: But we clearly have to be there if we want
Speaker 1: to shape the way that we're seeing in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be Ben Carson. You do not,
Speaker 1: at least not the current iteration. Yes I could. I
Speaker 1: learned stuff reading this article, Like I did not know
Speaker 1: that slavery ended because of the Thirteenth Amendment. I always
Speaker 1: thought it of the Emancipatient Proclamation as well. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: what people don't get is Abraham Lincoln was actually not
Speaker 1: that concerned. He was opposed to slavery, but he was
Speaker 1: also like, if we can keep slavery and keep the
Speaker 1: Union together, we'll keep slavery. And the emancipation Proclamation was
Speaker 1: a war tactic. It was trying to punish the Confederate
Speaker 1: States and say, if you don't come back to the Union,
Speaker 1: we will free your labor source, and then you'll be
Speaker 1: bankrupted and have to So, yeah, the emancipation only free
Speaker 1: those who were enslaved in the Confederacy, which Lincoln actually
Speaker 1: didn't have control over those because it was in the Confederacy.
Speaker 1: And it would take the end of the Civil War
Speaker 1: to actually get the end of legal slavery in the
Speaker 1: United States, except, of course, if you're incarcerated, which is
Speaker 1: what's going on right now. Yes, and what exactly what
Speaker 1: was the thirteen amend minute? Was that? Yeah, So the
Speaker 1: thirteenth Amendment ends slavery. And it's funny because our constitution
Speaker 1: protects slavery but never mentions the word slavery. And the
Speaker 1: first time the word slavery's ever mentioned in the constitutions
Speaker 1: when they ended. And that's what the thirteenth Amendment says,
Speaker 1: that you cannot have slavery accept unless someone commits a
Speaker 1: crime and is incarcerated. And so, of course a lot
Speaker 1: of people understand what that is meant, which is that
Speaker 1: we have implemented a new quasi slavery through our penal system. Yes,
Speaker 1: how did that make it hard for you with a journalist.
Speaker 1: Social media like just Twitter, Like yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: can be, as you know, both good and bad. So
Speaker 1: Twitter can be incredibly democratizing. What I love about Twitter
Speaker 1: is before, if a place like The New York Times
Speaker 1: wrote something that people felt as derogatory or unfair to
Speaker 1: our community, all you could do was send a letter
Speaker 1: to the editor and they may or may not publish it.
Speaker 1: But now like people can instantly say this was racist
Speaker 1: or this was wrong, and they're changing in real time
Speaker 1: the way that we're reporting the headlines we're writing. And
Speaker 1: I love that because I think it gives marginalized people
Speaker 1: power that they didn't have before. But then there's also
Speaker 1: like the Twitter mob, right, that's not thinking things through,
Speaker 1: that's not being realistic, that is attacking anyone who doesn't
Speaker 1: say exactly what they want to say, and that can
Speaker 1: be very toxic. So I just drank a lot of
Speaker 1: bourbon and take Twitter breaking. The only problem is I
Speaker 1: don't have any problem with your opinion as long as
Speaker 1: this an informed opinion. Did you read the sixteen nineteen
Speaker 1: prob nine times out of ten, No, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Or did you just look at people's reaction to it,
Speaker 1: and then you came to your own conclusion because if
Speaker 1: you read it, there's no way you could possibly have
Speaker 1: anything bad to say about it. Thank you for saying that.
Speaker 1: I mean, when we were extremely careful. Um, I understood
Speaker 1: how fraught this project was. So we were careful with everything,
Speaker 1: including language, Like I create a style book, like we're
Speaker 1: not going to call people slaves. We're not gonna use
Speaker 1: blacks as a noun, right, We're gonna, we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a very consistent style. What's wrong we're calling
Speaker 1: people's slaves only because like back then, in historical context,
Speaker 1: they looked at us a three fifths of a person.
Speaker 1: So I think the slaves is very dehumanizing. Slaves says
Speaker 1: that this is you as a person, that you were
Speaker 1: a slave. I think slave being enslaved. It was a condition.
Speaker 1: It was a condition that white people enforced upon us,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't who we are as our identity, and
Speaker 1: so using the term slave was a way to denote
Speaker 1: that we were not equal to them, We couldn't be citizens,
Speaker 1: we were not fully human. And I don't choose to
Speaker 1: replicate that when speaking about our ancests I like to
Speaker 1: talk about slavery as a condition, but not as who
Speaker 1: these people were. But weren't they trying to dehumanize us?
Speaker 1: Of course, but we shouldn't repeat that language, right, So
Speaker 1: they created this language to dehumanize us, and every time
Speaker 1: we repeat that, then we're actually kind of following their
Speaker 1: same logic. So that's why I don't use slave owner.
Speaker 1: I call them in slavers, like make it make it
Speaker 1: more real what they're doing. I don't use the word plantation.
Speaker 1: I call it forced labor camps, because that wasn't what
Speaker 1: it was. So this language is all the ways that
Speaker 1: we justify what was really the most atrocious besides the
Speaker 1: genocide and Native Americans, the most atrocious things that this
Speaker 1: country ever did, and we should use the language that
Speaker 1: shows that. I call them racist, bigot, crack ass, crack
Speaker 1: of white devils. Yeah, I don't think that's going to
Speaker 1: get in the New York Times. But why do you
Speaker 1: think America you have to apologize for slavery? Oh god,
Speaker 1: I think that white Americans believe if an apology comes,
Speaker 1: then the next thing you have to do is try
Speaker 1: to remedy the wrong. Right to zbvious, you can't say
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for this wrong and then not try to
Speaker 1: fix it. So by not apologizing you, by saying we
Speaker 1: don't have to apologize to you for anything, then you
Speaker 1: don't then have to take the next steps and to
Speaker 1: do the remedy. I mean, I hear every single day
Speaker 1: a white person say, all these white people die to
Speaker 1: free you, so why are you complaining? And I'm like, well, one,
Speaker 1: you don't get credit for fighting the end of the the
Speaker 1: institution you created, like that was your obligation. But two
Speaker 1: tons of black folks also fought, beginning in the Revolutionary War,
Speaker 1: and we're fighting actually for your freedom because we didn't
Speaker 1: get it. And we also fought in the Civil War.
Speaker 1: So it's this continuous downplaying of what the harm was
Speaker 1: and an inability to admit it because then you can't
Speaker 1: admit it and then not do anything about it. Well,
Speaker 1: I would love to give these way to add our
Speaker 1: juice bar. Angelie and I own a juice bar in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: We would love to give it away. I want to
Speaker 1: get that, Frank. You know, we have the International African
Speaker 1: American Museum opening in Charleton, Psycroline. It's gonna be on
Speaker 1: Gatchin's warf and you spoke about it in the article
Speaker 1: about how you know the slaves that came from West
Speaker 1: Africa right into that point. If I'm not mistaken, I
Speaker 1: think it's like fifty sixty percent of Ye. Yes, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: I would love to get that framed and put in
Speaker 1: that museum. Yeah, we would love to do that, and
Speaker 1: we've given we've sent copies so far to about ten
Speaker 1: to twelve HBCUs, and we're gonna also be doing events
Speaker 1: all across the country also at HBCUs as well. Tell

Speaker 1: from what that port authority. Yeah, they got saw they
Speaker 1: had set up at afro Punk. Also they had a
Speaker 1: booth their Afropunk you know else was probably doing that
Speaker 1: afro Punk registering people to vote. That's what you do
Speaker 1: when it's a lot, when it's a large group of people, y'all,
Speaker 1: lau Janelle. When they asked for no goddamn reason, we
Speaker 1: got rumor report coming up. You. Yes, let's talk about
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle surviving R Kelly. Um, you know they had
Speaker 1: asked to be in that documentary and we'll tell you now.
Speaker 1: There's some back and forth about the R. Kelly documentary
Speaker 1: and Dave Chappelle stand up on Netflix. Now. I think
Speaker 1: Bachabielle got the last word on this one. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about it though. It's the Breakfast Club. Just want to
Speaker 1: show the Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God Angela. Ye, it's
Speaker 1: time for Rumor Report, and we got to talk about
Speaker 1: the god named Dave Chappelle. Damn it. This is the
Speaker 1: Rumor Report with ANGELI year Breast Club, Dave Chappelle stand
Speaker 1: up on Netflix, Sticks and Stones. Um. Actually I watched
Speaker 1: that yesterday while I was at home. I saw a live.
Speaker 1: I saw a live on Brower and so it was.
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, it was very funny, amazing. I think
Speaker 1: it's his best stand up. I was after some of it,
Speaker 1: I was like, should I be laughing at this. Yes
Speaker 1: you should, because some of it. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: But I guess that was the whole point of it.
Speaker 1: Clearly sticks and stones. But anyway, one person who personally
Speaker 1: was mentioning there and took offense was Dream Hampton. And
Speaker 1: she's saying that some things that he said in his
Speaker 1: stand up about her when an accurate. Now, Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: was talking about Dream Hampton, who did the R Kelly
Speaker 1: documentary that was on Lifetime. The documentaries asked him to
Speaker 1: be in the documentaries. Here's what he says happened right
Speaker 1: before him going on stage. She goes, Dave were working
Speaker 1: on a documentary on about R Kelly, would you like
Speaker 1: to be in it? And I was like, nah, bitch,
Speaker 1: I'm cool. I went on stage. I just forgot about it.
Speaker 1: And then two years later the documentary comes out. Dreams
Speaker 1: promoting and she keeps bringing me up. She said, I
Speaker 1: asked Dave Chappelle to be in my documentary and he
Speaker 1: said it was too hot for TV. Bitch, I did
Speaker 1: not say that. This is not stephens sound like how
Speaker 1: I talk. Oh that's too hot. I would never say
Speaker 1: that hilarious minus the use of the word bitch, though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can do a doctor all right now. Dream Hampton
Speaker 1: tweeted quick fact check. I didn't personally are casually in
Speaker 1: vite Chappelle to be interviewed for the Doctor. Producer responsible
Speaker 1: for CELEBT outreach officially asked him more than once I
Speaker 1: have and seen her talk to him in about eight years. Weird,
Speaker 1: he told it weird. He told his joke that way,
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. We didn't. Earlier this year, Dream
Speaker 1: said she reached out to these people, didn't she do
Speaker 1: interviews and tweet out that she reached out to Dave
Speaker 1: and Erica Baudo. And now I don't all that, but
Speaker 1: maybe she told the person who was responsible to reach out.
Speaker 1: Maybe that was her way of saying she reached out.
Speaker 1: The person that was reaching out to celebrities was the
Speaker 1: person who knows. But I'm just telling you what she said.
Speaker 1: She said. I also obviously didn't need Chappelle to talk
Speaker 1: about R Kelly personally. I wanted him to talk about
Speaker 1: the two pieces of cultural criticism he produced about R
Speaker 1: Kelly for the Chappelle Show. I also have never in
Speaker 1: my life said the words too hard for TV, because
Speaker 1: a bitch, That's not how I Sound from Detroit. Bitch,
Speaker 1: She said, no, I wasn't trying to just invite anybody
Speaker 1: that would possibly say something bad about R Kelly. I
Speaker 1: asked our producer T Ferris to invite him on because
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle already said this, This really isn't Rocket Science.
Speaker 1: What did he say? It's a YouTube that she posted. Oh,
Speaker 1: she posted to Dave Chappelle. I mean, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's fair. I mean because you know, when we
Speaker 1: spoke to I forgot what the young lady name we
Speaker 1: spoke to that survived R Kelly, right, and you were
Speaker 1: asking her about and she talked about how hurtful that
Speaker 1: was because R Kelly was really doing those things according
Speaker 1: to her. Yeah, but I mean, you look at it
Speaker 1: from our perspective. We thought we were making jokes about
Speaker 1: our Kelly. But these are real people that were affecting
Speaker 1: in real life, right, So I think it makes sense
Speaker 1: for her to reach out to him because of that. Yes,
Speaker 1: not because he personally knew our Kelly, but because he
Speaker 1: did do some and I thought, think it makes sense
Speaker 1: to clown on R Kelly. Yeah, on him. I understand though,
Speaker 1: when you're the person involved that it might hurt and
Speaker 1: feel differ like she said, it was woman really getting
Speaker 1: paid on I get it. All right. Now let's talk
Speaker 1: about Richard Pryor Junior. Since we're talking comedians, all right,
Speaker 1: So since we're talking paining on people, Okay, there was
Speaker 1: nothing about peering in this story, but all right. So
Speaker 1: apparently Richard Pryor's ex bodyguard is saying that Richard Pryor
Speaker 1: wanted to put a hit on Paul Mooney. So here's
Speaker 1: what he had to say. The relationship became fragile because
Speaker 1: Paul Mooney had Richard's son by that time. Was there
Speaker 1: ever a conversation to retaliate against that, Yes, to the
Speaker 1: extent of Richard didn't want him on the planet. No more. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, So according to Richard Pryor's ex bodyguard,
Speaker 1: his name is Rashan Khan, he's saying that Richard Pryor
Speaker 1: put a hit out on Paul Mooney because Paul Mooney
Speaker 1: had sex with Richard Pryor Junior and he had an
Speaker 1: issue with that. To'm assuming Richard Pridor Junior was a
Speaker 1: child at this time. I don't know exactly how old
Speaker 1: he was, but he was a well, you know, what.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Richard Pryor Junior tell you what he
Speaker 1: had to say, because TMZ caught up to Richard Pryor
Speaker 1: Junior and they asked him about these allegations about Paul
Speaker 1: Mooney allegedly having had sex with him. WHOA, whatever happened
Speaker 1: in my life? It happened when I was young. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: before the eighties. How could any relationship be consider I
Speaker 1: was real teenager. Lord have mercy. So he's not necessarily
Speaker 1: saying it's true about Paul Mooney, but he's not flat
Speaker 1: out denying it. Now. Paul Mooney, for his defense, has
Speaker 1: flat out denied these allegations. He has said that there's
Speaker 1: no truth to anything that Rashaan comp Richard Pryor's ex bodyguard,
Speaker 1: had to say, and he's flat out saying it's not true.
Speaker 1: I don't know you decide for this. I don't know
Speaker 1: anything about any of this. All I know is Paul
Speaker 1: Mooney is the only interview we have never we have
Speaker 1: chosen to never air on the Breakfast Club. No, it
Speaker 1: was that, and there was also I believe a Day's
Speaker 1: Love interview we never aired, but that's because it was terrible.
Speaker 1: Though had nothing to do it. I think that she
Speaker 1: was saying it was, and I'm sure it was a
Speaker 1: couple of Megals interviews early on that was really bad,
Speaker 1: just because they weren't ready we aired, though we at
Speaker 1: least put them up with Paul Mooney. We didn't. That
Speaker 1: was years ago to nine years ago. You're on the
Speaker 1: air for almost nine years an eight years. He had
Speaker 1: some allegations against you in that interview, he had allegations
Speaker 1: against all of us. Paul Mooney said that I was
Speaker 1: in the Gate Club in the eighties. I'm like, old,
Speaker 1: do you think I am? Sorry? I hold you think
Speaker 1: I am. But he was just wilding that interview, Like
Speaker 1: it was like he was just angry about you. You
Speaker 1: got to put that out after he dies. I think
Speaker 1: that'd be a good one to release. You think we'll
Speaker 1: still be on me even more night? We still got
Speaker 1: the content. Okay, Well I'm Angela yee and that is
Speaker 1: your rumor report. Yes, what I got coming? I don't know. Charlottamagne, Oh,
Speaker 1: we know you got Donkey of the Day on the way.
Speaker 1: Who are you giving your donkey two? In the eighties?
Speaker 1: That segment, Yeah, who was like giving my doctor when
Speaker 1: I was a child when I was a junior. Okay,
Speaker 1: so if I was in the Gate Club with Paul
Speaker 1: Mooney in the eighties, he's been messing with kids allegedly.
Speaker 1: Right now, four after the hour, I want to talk
Speaker 1: to all of these people who have negative things to
Speaker 1: say about Janelle Money, who forced Janelle More apologize for
Speaker 1: no goddamn reason. Okay, let's talk about it. I was
Speaker 1: born to Donkey. It's the Donkey Devil Breakfast Club. Yes,
Speaker 1: Doncia today for Wednesday, August twenty eighth, goes to every
Speaker 1: single one of you who forced Janelle Mornee to apologize
Speaker 1: for something she had no business apologizing over. Now I
Speaker 1: missed this in real time, but yesterday I saw an
Speaker 1: article on Madame Noir with the headline Janelle Monee apologizes
Speaker 1: for saying people should register to vote while they're waiting
Speaker 1: in line for a Popeye's chicken sandwich. Okay, now, I
Speaker 1: had no problem with that because it's a great idea
Speaker 1: and it's actually what a teenager name David Ledbetter did
Speaker 1: in Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend. Dropped on a Couis
Speaker 1: bonds for David led Better. All right, he was in
Speaker 1: Charlotte this weekend and he pulled up to a Popeyes
Speaker 1: in the area to make sure people were registered to vote. Now,
Speaker 1: I saw people say, well, most of the people in
Speaker 1: the line were already registered to vote. You know what
Speaker 1: I say to that? So what okay? What does that
Speaker 1: have to do with anything. People who are registering others
Speaker 1: to vote don't know that people are already registered. Okay,
Speaker 1: And nor are they under the assumption that you're not registered.
Speaker 1: Their job is to make sure you are registered, and
Speaker 1: if you're not, to get you registered. Okay, simple concept.
Speaker 1: And that's what David Ledbetter was doing. And that's what
Speaker 1: Janellemo and they suggested. Now, let me read to you
Speaker 1: what Jenellemo they tweeted. She put, perhaps we can put
Speaker 1: voting boosts at every Popeye's location. While we wait on
Speaker 1: that sandwich, you can register and vote. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: know about the voting boosts at every location part, but
Speaker 1: which team to set the woke? Can I put a
Speaker 1: woke in parentheses? Woke community? Off was the while we
Speaker 1: wait on this sandwich, you can register the vote. Who
Speaker 1: could Janellemon they possibly be offending by tweeting that? Did
Speaker 1: that offend you, Angeline? I don't know if y'all notice
Speaker 1: or not. But for the next year, wherever there is
Speaker 1: a high number of people, you will see people all
Speaker 1: out registering folks to vote. You will see voter registration
Speaker 1: drives everywhere and the mall, movie theaters, libraries, neighborhood rallies, festivals,
Speaker 1: farmer markets, oh and even your local Popeyes. It's a
Speaker 1: standard procedure for this time of people. So Janelle money
Speaker 1: suggesting isn't even a bright idea. It's just an idea
Speaker 1: that most people who are about that voter registration life
Speaker 1: have all right't you go where the people are? A
Speaker 1: simple concept, but social media doesn't do simple because she
Speaker 1: got immediate backlash or should I say backlash because this
Speaker 1: is all black twitter And according to Madame the War,
Speaker 1: social media seemed to be annoyed by this tweet and
Speaker 1: reminded Janelle that black voter turnout has made a major
Speaker 1: impact in recent elections, Black women, specifically with the highest
Speaker 1: percentage of voters to turn out to try and keep
Speaker 1: our celebrity in chief Donald Trump out of the White House.
Speaker 1: They also said that her comments overlooked the reality that
Speaker 1: voter suppression efforts are still a big issue in this country.
Speaker 1: Let's unpack those two things. As my therapist says, let's
Speaker 1: unpack this, all right. Number one, let's not assume that
Speaker 1: the only people online to get the chicken sandwich I
Speaker 1: Popeyes are black? All right? That social media is your
Speaker 1: first mistake. I honestly don't know who's in those lines
Speaker 1: across the country. I have no idea. But let's not
Speaker 1: it has to be right. Let's not assume they are
Speaker 1: just all black. But if they are so wet, all right?
Speaker 1: You people are absolutely correct when you say black voter
Speaker 1: turnout has made major impact in recent local elections, and
Speaker 1: black women did show up for Hillary. But the facts
Speaker 1: are black voter turnout fell in twenty sixteen, all right,
Speaker 1: even as a record number of Americans cast ballots. This
Speaker 1: is a fact. In the twenty sixteen presidential election, black
Speaker 1: voter turnout decreased and white turnout increased. These are all
Speaker 1: things you can google, people, Okay, White voter turnout in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen sixty five point three percent, Black voter turnout
Speaker 1: fifty nine point six percent. First time black voter turnout
Speaker 1: for a presidential election has declined in twenty years now,
Speaker 1: mind you, in twenty twelve, black voter turnout reached a
Speaker 1: record high all right, sixty six point six percent. So
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, black voter turnout rate dropped seven percent
Speaker 1: when Barack Obama was on the ballot. In twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: the black voter turnout surpassed that of white people for
Speaker 1: the first time. Google is your friend, bro. So when
Speaker 1: you see people putting an emphasis on black voters this year,
Speaker 1: whether it's getting in the register or if you are registered,
Speaker 1: getting you out to vote, this is the reason why.
Speaker 1: Now as far as people saying her comments overlook voter suppression, listen,
Speaker 1: Voter suppression is a real issue. That's why we should
Speaker 1: all support Stacey Abrams Fair Fight twenty twenty. I've gotten
Speaker 1: on this radio and said, I don't know why American
Speaker 1: people aren't raising holy hell about the fact that it's
Speaker 1: been proving Russians interfere with our elections. And Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 1: even with this knowledge, has shot down to election security bills.
Speaker 1: So yes, the fight may be fixed on a lot
Speaker 1: of levels. And until we can do something about election
Speaker 1: security and voter suppression, democracy as we know it is day.
Speaker 1: But what the hell does voter suppression have to do
Speaker 1: with voter registration. Okay, voter suppression won't even affect you
Speaker 1: if you're not registered to vote. And if you are
Speaker 1: registered to vote, but you choose to sit home because
Speaker 1: you don't like any of the candidates, guess what. Voter
Speaker 1: suppression doesn't affect you then either either. Okay, you know why,
Speaker 1: because voter suppression only affects voters. My god, Janelle Money,
Speaker 1: you better to be because I would have told these
Speaker 1: people to suppress these nuts in their mouth. All right, what,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay, I'm sorry. Okay, let me rephrase.
Speaker 1: Janelle won't know you better than me because I would
Speaker 1: have told these people to suppress these walnuts in their mouth. Hey,
Speaker 1: all right, but Janelle is a better human than I am,
Speaker 1: because she apologized, all right. She tweeted out, you know,
Speaker 1: when other people say things on here that are wrong
Speaker 1: or misguided, I wonder why they don't just admit they're
Speaker 1: wrong and learn from it. So I'm going to do
Speaker 1: that now. I think the tweet that I posted about
Speaker 1: registering and voting were insensitive and wrong. Specifically, they ignored
Speaker 1: ignored very real issues of voter suppression that have impacted
Speaker 1: my community for years and me directly. Thanks to all
Speaker 1: of you for calling me out. I'm not reading any
Speaker 1: more this. No, Janelle, you are not wrong, all right.
Speaker 1: Just because people are outraged doesn't mean they are right.
Speaker 1: Just because you receive a bunch of backlash doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you were wrong. And this era of group think and
Speaker 1: social media mobs, everybody is preaching to the choir because
Speaker 1: they don't want to get attacked. That's why you can't
Speaker 1: trust with anyone is saying. They're only saying what you
Speaker 1: want to hear because they don't want to offend. F
Speaker 1: that say what you mean and mean when you say, Janelle,
Speaker 1: if you are actually wrong and they schooled you, cool,
Speaker 1: But you're not wrong. These people are just too woke.
Speaker 1: And I hate wokeness, all right. I wan't woke people
Speaker 1: to get some sleep. I sleep well at night because
Speaker 1: I meditate, I do CBD, and because I'm at peace
Speaker 1: with myself. I love sleep. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: woke all the time. I want my eight hours. And
Speaker 1: some of you woke folk need your rest. You've been
Speaker 1: woke too long and it's starting to affect your emotional
Speaker 1: incognitive behavior, all right. You so woke you don't even
Speaker 1: realize how tired y'all. Aw, y'all just tired, tired ass ideologies,
Speaker 1: tired ass tweet, tired ass logic, tired ass outrage. Y'all.
Speaker 1: Twitter is just tired now. I was watching Bill mart
Speaker 1: this weekend and they had a convo about social media
Speaker 1: Twitter specifically. Do we have this clip ready? This is
Speaker 1: Bill Maher talking about social media outrage Bill Mart his panel.
Speaker 1: Let's hear it. One problem with today is that we
Speaker 1: try to resolve these issues in the worst possible place,
Speaker 1: which is twittery. I mean, how much more meaningful is
Speaker 1: the conversation of a group of people sitting around the
Speaker 1: table who disagree with each other but can be there
Speaker 1: face to face and a real social infrastructure. Yeah, having
Speaker 1: an interaction. I immersus doing it in this place that
Speaker 1: takes us from serious such a sliver of people, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't represent the vast majority, even of liberals. I
Speaker 1: don't understand as that charity stand up to cancer. I
Speaker 1: want to start stand up to Twitter. That's right, David,
Speaker 1: Please give all those fake outraged people on social media
Speaker 1: who made them when they apologize the biggest he hall.
Speaker 1: I can't believe she didn't realize that it's sold out?
Speaker 1: What the chicken sandwiches stopping you? All right? Well, thank
Speaker 1: you so much, Charlabe for that Donkey of the dead.
Speaker 1: And if you're mad at me, my aunt is a
Speaker 1: seat to God on Twitter ctcha good or at sea
Speaker 1: to God on Instagram. I don't check tow it anyway,
Speaker 1: So slander go ahead. I love this type of stuff.
Speaker 1: But asking you what coming up? We have asked you
Speaker 1: to ask you, ask you what we do twice. God,
Speaker 1: you're only been doing this show for eight years. When
Speaker 1: you got coming up and ask you probably people asking questions.
Speaker 1: That's right. One hundred five and five one oh five one.
Speaker 1: You got a question for Angela ye, call up right
Speaker 1: now and ask us to breakfast club, the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: What's up? It's Angela, yeah, and it's time for asking.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five and five one oh five one is
Speaker 1: a number if you have any questions now right now
Speaker 1: we haven't read on the line. What's up, Red? Good morning?
Speaker 1: How are you feeling? Good morning? Red? What's your issue? Okay?
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with two females right one I'm dealing with
Speaker 1: sexual and the other one that we're just friends. The
Speaker 1: one that i'm dealing with sexual is jealous of the
Speaker 1: one that I'm not having sex with it because I'm
Speaker 1: like helping her out as far as like they shooting
Speaker 1: their kids. You know what I'm saying, Like if she
Speaker 1: didn't even to do anything for, I got her back.
Speaker 1: But I also have the girl that I'm having sex
Speaker 1: what I have up back too. But she feels like
Speaker 1: that I'm putting her second. Okay, couple of things here.
Speaker 1: The girl that you're having sex with, is that your
Speaker 1: girlfriend or just some girl you randomly have sex with
Speaker 1: sometimes like she's I guess you could save my girl friend.
Speaker 1: See all right, So this already sounds like part of
Speaker 1: the issue. She doesn't even know where her place is
Speaker 1: in your life here, she do because I explained to this,
Speaker 1: explained this to her before we even got involved, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So what are you guys? Is it?
Speaker 1: Are you just involved? Are you just having sex? Because
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure what's happening here. The girl that
Speaker 1: I'm having sex with were in a relationship, all right,
Speaker 1: So why don't you say that? Why do you keep
Speaker 1: just calling her the girl you're having sex with? She's
Speaker 1: just girl friends? Here? Put it like that. But the
Speaker 1: other friend, which is real cool, Like we've never had
Speaker 1: any sexual nothing, and my girlfriend is jealous of that.
Speaker 1: Do they know each other well? Do they? Are they
Speaker 1: around each other? Now? My friend wants to meet, but
Speaker 1: my girlfriend don't want them meet. So it's just like right,
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm gonna tell you this. I know
Speaker 1: where you're coming from, mad because I do have guy
Speaker 1: friends who I've never been in any type of relationship with,
Speaker 1: never had any situation, and I have had their female
Speaker 1: friends have issues with it, but after the time when
Speaker 1: they see that a your friend isn't going anywhere, and
Speaker 1: I think they also have to feel comfortable around you.
Speaker 1: So like one of my best friends, that's a guy,
Speaker 1: he's married and his wife loves me. We get along great,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how she felt about me at
Speaker 1: first because they were just getting to know each other.
Speaker 1: And I've known him since we were you know, probably
Speaker 1: about fourteen years old or maybe younger than that. No,
Speaker 1: since we were like fourteen years old, So I've been
Speaker 1: in his life for a long time. How long have
Speaker 1: you known this woman that you do a lot of
Speaker 1: things for that that you're not sleeping with. We've been friends,
Speaker 1: We've been friends for life. About four or five years now, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're not attracted to her in any way, that's just
Speaker 1: your friend. Yeah, nothing textful, none of that. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I think you'd love me to death. I love her kids,
Speaker 1: we all get along. But my girlfriend, she's like, are
Speaker 1: you putting this person? Would? I'm like, WHOA, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: not That's not a good sign. Somebody can't be jealous
Speaker 1: of your friends. And she's gonna have to get to
Speaker 1: know her, and you're gonna have to initiate that happening.
Speaker 1: And if she doesn't want to meet her, that's on her.
Speaker 1: But I always do feel it's a bad sign when
Speaker 1: somebody is insanely jealous and won't be open minded about
Speaker 1: friendships that you have that are harmless. But I will say,
Speaker 1: on your behalf, you have to make the quote girl
Speaker 1: who you're sleeping with feel more secure because even how
Speaker 1: you explain who she is to me, it makes me
Speaker 1: feel like she doesn't have any meaning in your life.
Speaker 1: So she also might be feeling and life real life
Speaker 1: people looked read I feel you. But even how you
Speaker 1: express who she is to me, it wasn't like my
Speaker 1: girlfriend or the woman I'm dating. It was the woman
Speaker 1: I have sex with. And so I think it's important
Speaker 1: to make her feel secure in your relationship because you
Speaker 1: do have to take into consideration her feelings and there
Speaker 1: might be some ways that you're not making her feel
Speaker 1: like she's secure in her space. So y'all need to
Speaker 1: have that conversation and you need to say, look, this
Speaker 1: is my friend. She's not going where a rush you
Speaker 1: and my woman, and I care about how you feel,
Speaker 1: and I don't want you to feel a way about things.
Speaker 1: I would love for you to meet her. If you're
Speaker 1: still uncomfortable after that, we'll have a conversation about it
Speaker 1: and figure out how to move forward. But I want
Speaker 1: you to make an effort. Okay, that's cool because this
Speaker 1: other girl, I mean, my girlfriend. She's kind of confusing
Speaker 1: me though, because she's like one meeting she wanted to meet,
Speaker 1: and then then she don't. So it's just like, oh no, man, yeah,
Speaker 1: just set it up. And also, I will say this
Speaker 1: about when you're in a relationship and you do have
Speaker 1: friends of the opposite sex, you know, do set some
Speaker 1: parameters like listen, I don't want my girlfriend to feel away,
Speaker 1: so let's not do any phone calls after a certain time.
Speaker 1: And I think that's appropriate and she shouldn't want to
Speaker 1: do that either. She should watch your woman to fail
Speaker 1: secure up. That's your friend. Yeah, true that plus my
Speaker 1: lady friends she works third ship so light. We don't
Speaker 1: have no communication for real, except when I go watch
Speaker 1: the kids though that was an issue too. Oh you
Speaker 1: gotta watch your kids and loose woop like well, her
Speaker 1: kids follows the novel around one's deceive and other two
Speaker 1: just ain't in the picture, so right, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: And so maybe that's something that you know, your girl
Speaker 1: will get to know her, get to know her kids,
Speaker 1: and maybe she'll want to help out also. But I
Speaker 1: think you gotta incorporate everybody together. Cool. Thank you that, y'all.
Speaker 1: Have a good morning. I love y'all. Listen to y'all
Speaker 1: every day. All right, we love you too. D tell
Speaker 1: you a girl, don't be mad? All right? By okay?
Speaker 1: All right, it's asked You eight hundred five five one
Speaker 1: or five one is the number. If you have any questions,
Speaker 1: you can ask ye on angela Ye day on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. What's up? It's the Breakfast Club and it's
Speaker 1: time for asked You. Today is Wednesday. It's August twenty eight.
Speaker 1: It's Angela ye day and now we have Melissa on
Speaker 1: the line. What's up, Melissa? Hi, Hi you guys, Hey girl, Hey,
Speaker 1: I just have a question which you might not be
Speaker 1: able to answer because it's kind of crazy. But essentially,
Speaker 1: I have a daughter outside of my marriage. She's ten
Speaker 1: years old. My husband and I have been married for
Speaker 1: four years, and my daughter asked me to change her
Speaker 1: last name to my husband's last name. She's never had
Speaker 1: her biological father's last name at all. It's always been mine, okay,
Speaker 1: So we brought it off to him, and his thing is, well,
Speaker 1: she's my child. So I feel like, if you do anything,
Speaker 1: you should hysenate the name and put my name first
Speaker 1: and being your husband. And I just don't know if
Speaker 1: I agree with it, because my daughter's were reason for
Speaker 1: changing her last name and so that she has the
Speaker 1: same last name as everyone in her household, right me
Speaker 1: and my husband right so, and he's she's never even
Speaker 1: had her father's last name, her biological father's m no.
Speaker 1: And I do really feel like, and I think you
Speaker 1: should take into consideration what the biological father has to say,
Speaker 1: but ultimately it is something that is more about your
Speaker 1: daughter and not about his ego. That's what I was
Speaker 1: thinking too, and I was trying to, you know, think
Speaker 1: about his feelings about it. But then I was like,
Speaker 1: you honestly didn't step up to the plate until my
Speaker 1: husband came into the picture for or five years ago.
Speaker 1: I think that how old is your daughter's Okay, she's ten.
Speaker 1: I think it should be something that your daughter kind
Speaker 1: of more has the decision on. This is something that
Speaker 1: is going to affect her, and so when it comes
Speaker 1: to her, just ask her, be like, would you how
Speaker 1: do you want to do this? I had a conversation,
Speaker 1: you know, with your biological father and maybe that, and
Speaker 1: you know, and you ask her this is what he suggested.
Speaker 1: But I know you said you want to have our
Speaker 1: last name, but you want to hypenat it or do
Speaker 1: you want to have justice last name? And see what
Speaker 1: she has to say. Let her have some inputs so
Speaker 1: she can feel like she's making a decision also, but
Speaker 1: ultimately it is for her more than it is for him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I completely agree. I already asked her already,
Speaker 1: I was like, what about hypenating with your dad's name
Speaker 1: and then our name? And she just bought out and
Speaker 1: said no, I don't want his name in my name. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well there's your answer. All right. Well, thank you guys
Speaker 1: so much. Okay, you're welcome. All right, ask ye that
Speaker 1: is ask you for today. Now coming up, we got
Speaker 1: Rumor Report and we'll be talking about Young Thug. One
Speaker 1: of his ex classmates talks about him punching a teacher
Speaker 1: in the face. All right, we got all that more

Speaker 1: the Room of Report and we're gonna talk about Young
Speaker 1: Thug being well a young thug. It's about the rumor
Speaker 1: report Angela Gee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, apparently DC
Speaker 1: Young Flying Young Doug went to school together in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I knew that. And DC Young Fly did an interview
Speaker 1: with No Jumper and he really and he talks about
Speaker 1: Young Doug really living up to his name. Here's what
Speaker 1: he said. That's my guy from him from Macney. No,
Speaker 1: I'm on to school and him too. Really, yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of produced, a lot of he a real one.
Speaker 1: Fuck was the teaching ain't grady now your kid? That
Speaker 1: I forgot? The teacher says, some the thug I think
Speaker 1: grabbed him like you know, you know it's a child.
Speaker 1: You scared? Are you like? Why? So he he popped
Speaker 1: his head walked out the room. Bro The teacher walked
Speaker 1: out the rum out, LADSI we've seen it all right,
Speaker 1: So there you have it. He's always been that way,
Speaker 1: I guess he really that's where the dressed to hype
Speaker 1: the stick. Listen, we've all terrorized teachers in our dad,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? No, we all have not.
Speaker 1: We haven't. No, we've all done to terrorize our teachers.
Speaker 1: I never punched the teacher, and we've all terrorized done
Speaker 1: some wild things the teachers. I've seen people putdification under
Speaker 1: teacher's noses. You did that. I didn't do that. My
Speaker 1: cousin did that. My cousin told him what the teacher
Speaker 1: he said, you got someone you know? She was like
Speaker 1: where and he was like right there, right there, and
Speaker 1: he had dug button. He put right the fact that
Speaker 1: he does. But it's disturbing. It is middle school. I
Speaker 1: didn't butt in middle school either. Oh that's a lie.
Speaker 1: I never dug but I still haven't to this day.
Speaker 1: Dug my butt? You never? You never scratched your butt?
Speaker 1: That's different, you said, dug in You know what I
Speaker 1: mean when I mean digging, like do you nobody ever
Speaker 1: scratched the inside of day? No? I have never crazy. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're crazy, okay, I know. Let's do that poll. Have
Speaker 1: you ever scratched the inside of your boy? Shook one?
Speaker 1: We're crazy? Have you ever scratched the inside of your hole? No?
Speaker 1: That's why I put the pole up for you though. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right now, Kobe Bryant, he says that Shack would
Speaker 1: have helped them win twelve rings if he wasn't so lazy.
Speaker 1: Check it out. Who would Shack be? If he had
Speaker 1: your work ethic, he'd be the greatest of all time
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean this guy was a force like
Speaker 1: I have never seen. I mean, it was crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish he was in a Jim would have had
Speaker 1: twelve rings. By the way, I'm not asking this question
Speaker 1: to create few between you and am You don't care
Speaker 1: listen to me. I mean Shaq talked to sit down
Speaker 1: all the time. When I say, dude, if you're lazy
Speaker 1: ass's been shaved. They didn't even played twelve seasons together.
Speaker 1: How the hell they're gonna win twelve rings. I guess
Speaker 1: he was over exaggerating, and maybe I'm taking this a
Speaker 1: little too literally. I see what he's saying, though, because
Speaker 1: raincount matters, and Kobe has five, So if he had seven,
Speaker 1: because he did go to the seven finals, he probably
Speaker 1: would be considered the greatest of all time, even though
Speaker 1: people say Kobe was always doing a bad Michael Jordan impersonation,
Speaker 1: but you have to be really great to do a
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan impersonation. Right, Well, they did win three championships together,
Speaker 1: all right. And in addition to that, he also talked
Speaker 1: about a fist fight they had. I knew for sure.
Speaker 1: Rick Fox, my teammate say All, thought I was absolutely
Speaker 1: crazy the day me and Shot got in the fist fight.
Speaker 1: After that day, they were like, Okay, Kobe, you're certifiable,
Speaker 1: And for Shot too. He's told me that that day
Speaker 1: was a big turning point for him because it was, like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's generally used to talking trash and saying
Speaker 1: what he wants and nobody really stepping up and challenging
Speaker 1: him on that, and when he saw me challenging him
Speaker 1: on that. He was like, this kid's crazy, all right,
Speaker 1: who knew they were fist fighting? And now let's talk
Speaker 1: about Pete Davidson. Comedian Pete Davidson. He went to the
Speaker 1: University of Central Florida to do a show. It was
Speaker 1: a back to school show for kids coming back to
Speaker 1: school or maybe this the first time on campus as freshman.
Speaker 1: And he got a little irate at the audience because
Speaker 1: they were using their cameraphones check it out for people
Speaker 1: who actually wanted you here. That's it's like, wait, you
Speaker 1: were the one fielding anymore. That's one word saying. That's
Speaker 1: one of them says no falls, you know, all right,
Speaker 1: So people were not taking too kindly to how he treated, uh,
Speaker 1: the audience. I don't see the problem though. I Mean,
Speaker 1: I've seen comedians flip out on people for recording the show,
Speaker 1: and I think that one thing that the audience doesn't understand,
Speaker 1: if that is these comedians livelihood. These comedians got, you know,
Speaker 1: stand up specials that they're going to do probably for
Speaker 1: other networks. They go on the road and they say
Speaker 1: the same material. They can't have it all over the internet. Well,
Speaker 1: he apparently called them privileged little a holes and then
Speaker 1: he called them idiots and morons and told them to
Speaker 1: grow up. It's kind of weird when you have when
Speaker 1: you insult your audience at times. Yeah. Before so they
Speaker 1: were tweeting, if you saw I Pete Davison tonight, we
Speaker 1: all came out of this uncomfortable ass experience closer together.
Speaker 1: That's what one of the tweets were from the funniest
Speaker 1: part about that is that's all sweet that I said,
Speaker 1: how dare you come to talk to millennials like that?
Speaker 1: As if Pete isn't twenty four years old? They sounded
Speaker 1: like a grumpy old man. Hey man, he's he's been
Speaker 1: through a lot, all right. And Leslie Jones is leaving
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live moving on, Yes, and apparently she's not
Speaker 1: coming back because she's got a lot more things on
Speaker 1: her plate right now. She's a hot commodity. She's filming
Speaker 1: Coming to America that sequel, and she's also got a
Speaker 1: lot of other movies on deck. She's doing a Netflix

Speaker 1: is the part of the show that gets stupid, and
Speaker 1: the reason it gets stupid is because djmv's not here

Speaker 1: always leaves a mix. He talks to her in the mix, right,
Speaker 1: and I used to do a ye mix, I mean
Speaker 1: now and then, but I guess that's over. There used
