Speaker 1: joining us, we'll be joining us this morning, next hour.
Speaker 1: All right, But what we got easy? All right? Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about President Joe Biden. Now, yesterday he was
Speaker 1: making an appeal for diplomacy to continue. Right now, everybody
Speaker 1: is watching to see if Russian President of Vladimir Putin
Speaker 1: or does an invasion of Ukraine, which is their neighbor.
Speaker 1: And also Joe Biden warned that a Russian attack on
Speaker 1: Ukraine will be met with overwhelming international condemnation. Here is
Speaker 1: what Joe Biden has to say about a possible war.
Speaker 1: World War two was a war of necessity. Well, if
Speaker 1: Russia attacks Ukraine, it would be a war of choice
Speaker 1: or a war without cause. Or a reason. I say
Speaker 1: these things not to provoke, but to speak the truth.
Speaker 1: If Russian does invade in the days and weeks ahead,
Speaker 1: the human cost for Ukraine will be immense and the
Speaker 1: strategic cross for Russia will also be immense. If Russia
Speaker 1: attacks Ukraine, it'll be met with overwhelming international condemnation. The
Speaker 1: world will not forget that Russia chose needless death and destruction.
Speaker 1: The United States and our allies and partners or respond decisively.
Speaker 1: I hope people will finally paying attention to what's going on.
Speaker 1: I mean has been going on for a while now.
Speaker 1: I mean then it's even scarier when you see, you know,
Speaker 1: Russia and China's alliance, and you see America given Ukraine
Speaker 1: a billion dollars to support their economy amid their attentions
Speaker 1: with Russia, like it's we might be on the break
Speaker 1: of World War they Have you ever read George Orwell's
Speaker 1: book in nineteen eighty four, which was a cautionary tale.
Speaker 1: It was the science fiction novel, but man if it
Speaker 1: feels a lot like it all right? Well, according to reports,
Speaker 1: they are saying that Russia does have one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand troops along the border of Ukraine and they
Speaker 1: are denying. By the way, Russia is a nine. They
Speaker 1: have plans to attack Ukraine. So here is what Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has to say about the US and sending troops. Well,
Speaker 1: I will latch send American servicemen to fight in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: We have supplied to Ukrainian military's equipment to help them
Speaker 1: defend themselves. And make no mistake, the United States will
Speaker 1: defend every inch of NATO territory with a full forceful
Speaker 1: American power already respond to Russia's build up of troops.
Speaker 1: I've sent it inditional US forces to bolster NATO's eastern flank,
Speaker 1: and if Russia in vains, We'll take further steps to
Speaker 1: reinforce our presence in NATO, reassures for our our eys,
Speaker 1: and deter further aggression. I'm gonna just assume that biden
Speaker 1: putin call didn't go as planning. Uh, clearly they didn't.
Speaker 1: Uh it wasn't the diploma. See on that phone call,
Speaker 1: sound like they're ready to know if somebody must. Well,
Speaker 1: Biden is saying that the US is not seeking direct
Speaker 1: confrontation with Russia, but he says that if Russia does
Speaker 1: target Americans in Ukraine. We will respond forcefully. But they
Speaker 1: have been saying that American people should come back if
Speaker 1: they're in Ukraine. I mean, they got every right to
Speaker 1: jump on Russia if they want to. It's not like Russia,
Speaker 1: you know, didn't interfere with our elections and other things.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. We'll see, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: well that is your I don't want to see, but
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't happen. They've been pumking a forehead
Speaker 1: for a while. I don't want to see world War
Speaker 1: three in my lifetime. No, no, but they've been poking
Speaker 1: out forehead though. All right, we'll get it off your chests.

Speaker 1: especially the part when he was walking through the office
Speaker 1: and everybody was fronting on him, when he was playing
Speaker 1: all falls now, Yeah, which is that that was very
Speaker 1: interesting to me because I think a lot of that
Speaker 1: he still he's still projecting a lot of that that
Speaker 1: that pain like you oh, y'all, y'all fronted on me.
Speaker 1: So f all of y'all is what I got from
Speaker 1: it is how important it is. Boy. He was a
Speaker 1: parent to reinforce the job. A lot of his confidence
Speaker 1: came from when his mom told him you know I mean,
Speaker 1: and he was bearing in his hand telling me he's
Speaker 1: the best. And that's why he believes that, but no,
Speaker 1: his mom. His mom also told him he was very
Speaker 1: self absolved. And his mom also told him that a
Speaker 1: giant should look in the mirror and see nothing. And
Speaker 1: he couldn't understand that. Yeah, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: she didn't, you know, downplay and you told him not
Speaker 1: stay humble. But stilkey, I kind of stilkey the same
Speaker 1: energy that you believe it design yourself. Though. It was
Speaker 1: really important for her. You can see why when he

Speaker 1: muff Mavie. And she was really into his stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: seeing his line bro for word and stuff like that.

Speaker 1: talk about the young black kid, Zaki Nors who was
Speaker 1: in the bob in the confrontation at the bridge or
Speaker 1: the mare with the young white kid, Zaka nors As.
Speaker 1: If you guys for the video I see where we volked.
Speaker 1: TV also posted it. If you watch the video, you
Speaker 1: will see how the also so when they got to
Speaker 1: the scene, they immediately take the kid to the floor
Speaker 1: off we had cuffs on him and let the young
Speaker 1: white kid walk and now he's dance from the mall
Speaker 1: for three years. I saw that. Yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I seen that. I was. I was highly
Speaker 1: upset with that. I mean, and there was no reason
Speaker 1: to tackle him on the floor. They were fighting. They
Speaker 1: should have broke both of those up. But yeah, you
Speaker 1: could tell that they attackled him to the floor because
Speaker 1: he was black. There was no other reason why the
Speaker 1: tackle one to the floor, not the other one, No
Speaker 1: other reason. Yeah. Governor Murphy released his statement, and you
Speaker 1: know he said that the appearance of what is racially
Speaker 1: disparate treatment is deeply, deeply disturbing. But it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: after you released that statement, now what what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: What's completely disciplinary action against the police. What's gonna happen
Speaker 1: because they sat one kid down. They didn't. They didn't,
Speaker 1: they didn't send him down aggressively. He sat down on
Speaker 1: his own. He got back up when the other kid
Speaker 1: was getting arrested like that. It was I couldn't imagine
Speaker 1: that being my son. And and and if you look
Speaker 1: at how the fight started, you see that the white
Speaker 1: kid was the one that actually started the fight. He
Speaker 1: started the fight. And then what happen is the white
Speaker 1: kid got the best of the black kid at first,
Speaker 1: and then the black kid turned it around and started
Speaker 1: whopping his ass. And the cops kid, it's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Even the cops sitting the white dude down on the
Speaker 1: couch like get comfortable, then goes over to the white
Speaker 1: the black guy to help arrest the crazy. That's why
Speaker 1: that is ridiculous. And they were bullying him. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna talk further with the family. We're probably gonna go
Speaker 1: out there this weekend, you know, my partner, Donna Jackson
Speaker 1: I and do a live because want to see what
Speaker 1: the thing of hobby. Want to move on it, but
Speaker 1: we have to we have to further bring this, bring
Speaker 1: awareness to this and and see what Governor Murphy gonna do.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna call him out and see what you're
Speaker 1: gonna do, Governor Murphy, what you're gonna do? And also
Speaker 1: why we don't know the name of the officers? Like
Speaker 1: I always wonder about these stories, and you know, we
Speaker 1: know that we know the young black man's name, but
Speaker 1: why we don't know the name of office. They didn't
Speaker 1: post him. I didn't see him nowhere. I thought they did.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they didn't, but I didn't see out
Speaker 1: the city. I thought they did. But I wasn't looking
Speaker 1: for their names though anyway. But yeah, no, it's so
Speaker 1: it was so just disgusting and and definitely praying for
Speaker 1: that family man because you know what type of trauma
Speaker 1: that young man's gonna have for the rest of his life.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. My goodness, Well, thank you for calling. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank god you'd be safe out there. Ben Crump is
Speaker 1: already on the case too, by the way, Yes he is.
Speaker 1: He's representing the family. Oh good Hello, who's this Mike?
Speaker 1: Mike what I'm getting off her chests? Yeah? Man, I
Speaker 1: want to put my contract on the blast who's been
Speaker 1: doing work on my house. He hasn't done any work
Speaker 1: this year. Now what what? What? Whek are you getting done? Well?
Speaker 1: I called y'all for the Christmas for the change for change,
Speaker 1: and I told y'all I had a fire and I
Speaker 1: remember they didn't win to rise the crib, so my
Speaker 1: water pipes popped. Like everything that could go wrong, it's
Speaker 1: been going wrong. Did insurance company pay you or they're
Speaker 1: paying the contractor directly, they're paying you. They paid the bank,
Speaker 1: They paid the bank, so you got the money. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I've given them payments as they have asked for it,
Speaker 1: and they just haven't done the work. Okay, Because what
Speaker 1: I what I tell everybody doing. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people that call me and they have a problem
Speaker 1: of contractors. What I tell people to do is this
Speaker 1: when when you when you speak to the contract you
Speaker 1: find out what supplies you need right, because you know
Speaker 1: you're gonna need supplies, whether it's wood, whether it's lumber,
Speaker 1: whether it's sheet rock, whether it's nails, bolts, wood, floors, lights, lighting, fiction.
Speaker 1: You find out what you need right, give him a list,
Speaker 1: you purchase the stuff that you need right, and then
Speaker 1: you pay the contractor when he gets the work. Done
Speaker 1: so that that way, there's no you don't have to
Speaker 1: give nobody up. But like, what do you need up
Speaker 1: front money for? I'm paying for the supplies. I have
Speaker 1: the supplies, I own the supplies. Now I'm paying you
Speaker 1: for your work. I pay you hourly for what you work.
Speaker 1: That saves a lot of money, That saves a lot
Speaker 1: of problems, and that saves situations like that. And I
Speaker 1: tell everybody it takes a little extra time, but it
Speaker 1: will save you money and you don't have that problem
Speaker 1: of contractors. I do that for every project that I do.
Speaker 1: I buy the supplies myself, which I knew that before.
Speaker 1: Now I saw good. I mean, it was a learning
Speaker 1: lesson I had to, believe me. Angelie knows. I had
Speaker 1: to learn the hardware as well. But you know, you
Speaker 1: start doing it that way and you start taking control
Speaker 1: of your own narrative and you can figure out your
Speaker 1: own ish. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five
Speaker 1: eight five one five one. We got rooms all the way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the Wendy Williams is sharing a personal video and
Speaker 1: she does look like she's fine. So we'll tell you
Speaker 1: what she had to say. All right, we'll get into
Speaker 1: that next don't move. It's the breakfast clubs in the morning.
Speaker 1: The breakfast club we could have been superstars riding around
Speaker 1: in fancy cars, are jacking cars. But now it's not
Speaker 1: safe for you morning everybody, because you switch like a lope.
Speaker 1: Breakfast club, Ya can attains me in ways that y'all
Speaker 1: don't even know who the quack black. All right, well,
Speaker 1: let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Windy Williams. Oh
Speaker 1: got breakfast club. But it looks like Wendy Williams has
Speaker 1: a new Instagram page. It's the real Wendy Williams online.
Speaker 1: And the first thing she did is post a video
Speaker 1: letting people know that she is coming back stronger. Now
Speaker 1: apparently she has been trying to get herself together. She's
Speaker 1: in Florida, where she said it's very peaceful. She's been
Speaker 1: going to the gym, going to the ocean, and she said,
Speaker 1: right now she's well, she's fifty six years old. Even
Speaker 1: though she's fifty seven. She missed, she misspoke on her age.
Speaker 1: It happens, but here's what she had to say. All
Speaker 1: and then get back to New York and get all down.
Speaker 1: It might be Williams shot. So wait, Wendy Show, not
Speaker 1: her page, no more. This is a personal page. So
Speaker 1: maybe she's using that for business her show. But this
Speaker 1: is a personal page, only two posts on it, so
Speaker 1: she just made it. Yeah. So she said that things
Speaker 1: usually start about forty and they go up from there.
Speaker 1: So you have to eat the right food, make sure
Speaker 1: you take care of yourself and all of that. But
Speaker 1: it looks like she is talking about coming back to
Speaker 1: New York and getting back to the Wendy Williams Show. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sending to Wendy Williams healing energy always, and I
Speaker 1: hope she does get back, and I hope she's able
Speaker 1: to come back, do the show for a while and
Speaker 1: go out the way she wants to go out. And
Speaker 1: I hope, you know, we see a different version of
Speaker 1: Wendy Williams when she comes back. I hope we see
Speaker 1: a version of Wendy who isn't projecting her pain on
Speaker 1: to other people. That's what I hope for Wendy Williams.
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk about new Edition. As you know,
Speaker 1: they are going on a nationwide tour and they sat
Speaker 1: down with Tamin Hall to discuss what they have going
Speaker 1: on and share a few stories they've never previously spoken about,
Speaker 1: and also how they're prepping for their first tour in
Speaker 1: a decade. Here's what happened when I look back at
Speaker 1: those videos, especially Candy Girl, that very first moment we
Speaker 1: saw this magic. When did you know or were you
Speaker 1: too young to understand it? I think I knew from
Speaker 1: the beginning, as much rehearsal as we used to do,
Speaker 1: with as many shows as we used to do, talent
Speaker 1: show to talent show to talent show. It was just
Speaker 1: something that I knew that it could happen for us.
Speaker 1: Watching Soul Train just you know further and being on
Speaker 1: Soul Train just further instilled a meaning for um confirmation, confirmation,
Speaker 1: Yes that we were we were gonna, you know, make it.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite R and B group. I love New Edition.

Speaker 1: but it's not too bad. It's not like New York cold.
Speaker 1: All right. Now Here is what they had to say.
Speaker 1: Hibby Brown had to say about getting back to dancing
Speaker 1: and doing all his moves because you know he is
Speaker 1: known for that. Every eye has to be dotted and
Speaker 1: every team has to be crossed in order to perform
Speaker 1: with these guys. Um, I'm just getting back into it. Um,
Speaker 1: really trying hard. It's difficult to do the dance steps
Speaker 1: after you haven't been doing them for a while. Um.
Speaker 1: It's about muscle memory and I'm trying to get that back. Bobby,
Speaker 1: I promise you will. You understand we will not hold
Speaker 1: it against you if you have lost a step or two. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're still Bobby Browns. And no jokes, by the way,
Speaker 1: nobody that's right And when you try and when you
Speaker 1: add a new audition show, you're trying to do the dances,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you're really not paying
Speaker 1: that much attention to the fact that they might be
Speaker 1: a little off. Be we all understand we old now,
Speaker 1: Bobby were all old. Now. I would love to see

Speaker 1: Michael Jackson musical on Broadway, and Ralph to know that
Speaker 1: y'all beat Michael Jackson and the billboard you topped Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: At the time, we didn't know either. We didn't know
Speaker 1: what we did. We didn't know what type of accomplishment
Speaker 1: that billboard charts were and all that. We just heard
Speaker 1: that we were this you know, we knew that that
Speaker 1: was a countdown of the music and the best music
Speaker 1: that's out right now. So when we heard that we

Speaker 1: he was like, oh I got in trouble, I got
Speaker 1: beat up, my security got beat up. I need money
Speaker 1: to get out of here. They froze my accounts. So
Speaker 1: he was definitely swindling these women out of money. So

Speaker 1: and deleted his Instagram account after that documentary came out.
Speaker 1: But now he's talking about, you know, doing different things
Speaker 1: and trying to get into acting and finding love. He
Speaker 1: wants to do a dating show and all of that.
Speaker 1: My question, one thing like that happen is why you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like when I talk about d
Speaker 1: ride and dysfunction, this is what I'm talking about. You mean, like,
Speaker 1: why would an agent sign him knowing that he's a
Speaker 1: known con man? Because the Tender Swindler documentary is like
Speaker 1: it's a documentary, right, yes, so it's a doc that
Speaker 1: people watching they're interested in, you know, the world. That
Speaker 1: doesn't mean necessarily interested in him as an individual enough
Speaker 1: to want to follow him. He's got a start to
Speaker 1: be interested in him and how he swindled these women
Speaker 1: and they did. It's in the doc That's why you
Speaker 1: watched the dock. But if he does a podcast, he'll
Speaker 1: so you know, the signs and things from his point
Speaker 1: of view. The same reason why people when like somebody
Speaker 1: breaks into the government building on you know, on the internet,
Speaker 1: and then the government highest You don't feel like we're
Speaker 1: rewarding bad behavior by doing that. Well, people are looking
Speaker 1: for a check. That's why they're looking for money. I
Speaker 1: think it's very wet and it says a lot and
Speaker 1: you can't complain, you know about things like that, but
Speaker 1: then sign it and empower it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's the same thing when people do when they catch
Speaker 1: these drug dealers or these people that sold a lot
Speaker 1: of drugs, and then when they come home, they give
Speaker 1: him a book, they give them a movie. You know,
Speaker 1: it's almost like rewarding those stories are interesting some people.
Speaker 1: He's an interesting story, you know what I mean. He
Speaker 1: will find it's interesting too. I don't mind the story
Speaker 1: being told, but signing him as an individual and you know,
Speaker 1: putting him out to the public and acting like he's
Speaker 1: some celebrity like nah, that's why people do it. You're
Speaker 1: just rewarding all right. Now Front page news is coming up.
Speaker 1: That is your rumor report. We'll be talking about the
Speaker 1: Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams. He met with
Speaker 1: some drill rap artists. He also met with Mayno as well,

Speaker 1: dropping the clues bumps five Yo four and tough Tune,
Speaker 1: Tough Tune, City of Guards, dope bibe. Well, let's get
Speaker 1: into some front page news. Let's talk five yo foreign
Speaker 1: in the Mary. Yes. Mayor Eric Adams revealed yesterday he'll
Speaker 1: be rolling out something about drill music. Remember, he called
Speaker 1: out social media companies. He wants them to remove the
Speaker 1: violence glorifying genre from those platforms. He compared it to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump making the remarks that he made and being
Speaker 1: banned from social media platforms and being banned from Twitter
Speaker 1: because of that. And he said, if it would be
Speaker 1: irresponsible to continue to give violent rap music videos a platform.
Speaker 1: Here were his initial remarks. And I had no idea
Speaker 1: what drill rapping was. I called my son and he
Speaker 1: sent me some videos and it is alarming. And we
Speaker 1: are going to pull together the social media companies and
Speaker 1: sit down with them and state that you have a
Speaker 1: civic in corporate responsibility, you know, I mean, we pulled
Speaker 1: a Trump off Twitter because of what he would speaking with.
Speaker 1: All right, so now he has sat down with people
Speaker 1: like he was with five year four in he was
Speaker 1: with Mayno so he was with slow Bucks, both of
Speaker 1: them slowing Bucks. And here is what Mano had to
Speaker 1: say as he posted a very much needed conversation and
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about drial rap, drial music, New
Speaker 1: York City connecting violence. We did with the coaching and
Speaker 1: just wanted the created conversations. Man, you were five year
Speaker 1: a head. We gotta be love here. We got slow
Speaker 1: Bucks here, we gotta cleasy and to talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: what's really happening. So mad to get a real respective
Speaker 1: and a real understanding of what real rap is and
Speaker 1: so that you know, we do have some real guy
Speaker 1: though and really start to really make things happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not for censorship, but I am for sense search ship,
Speaker 1: meaning folks should have the sense to not commit violent crimes.
Speaker 1: But if they do, you know, please have the sense
Speaker 1: to not wrap about it, and please have the sense
Speaker 1: to not post, you know, videos about it, incriminating yourself
Speaker 1: and taunting people and traumatizing you know, families of the
Speaker 1: people that you've killed. And if you don't have the
Speaker 1: sense to do that, then yes, those platforms do need
Speaker 1: to have the sense to not give those kind of videos.
Speaker 1: A platform can't he can't sense to the music. But
Speaker 1: if if you're putting violence on these platforms, these platforms
Speaker 1: have the right to pull down if you're showing guns,
Speaker 1: if you're showing drugs or whatever. They want to do that.
Speaker 1: They do it for any other thing. But you can't
Speaker 1: sense to the music. But no, here's the thing, it's
Speaker 1: not about sense of the music. How about them brothers
Speaker 1: should sense to theirself. Number one, they shouldn't be committing
Speaker 1: the crimes, that's number one. And number two, why go
Speaker 1: incriminate yourself one records and talk about it, buy incriminate
Speaker 1: yourself in videos? They definitely should. How about they should
Speaker 1: be censoring theirselves. And if we know we are inciting violence,
Speaker 1: why would we continue to do that by giving it
Speaker 1: a platform. But I also think we need more of
Speaker 1: these conversations like like they had, And I think we
Speaker 1: need more of the homies that people respect to sit down.
Speaker 1: I remember a while ago when Pop Smoke and Casting
Speaker 1: Over were having problems. Somebody sat them down and they
Speaker 1: sat in the same restaurant and they squashed out, they
Speaker 1: talked out their beef and then they were good. And
Speaker 1: I think we need more of that because some of
Speaker 1: this is very stupid. It could be over uh, something
Speaker 1: very small and minute that they could have squashed and
Speaker 1: we don't have to go through this. But they need
Speaker 1: somebody that you know, they mutually respect to sit down
Speaker 1: and have a conversation. And we need more of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the root cause of the violence is not the
Speaker 1: drill music. You know, art reflects life, So what's creating
Speaker 1: that life? You know for these people to wrap about? Society?
Speaker 1: Society has felt a lot of these individuals over social media.
Speaker 1: Could be over a girl, it could be over money, yes,
Speaker 1: but how about society has failed these individuals because they
Speaker 1: haven't provided provided these communities with the resources and the opportunities,
Speaker 1: you know, to have a different life to wrap about.
Speaker 1: That's true. You also, it's not the root causough, it
Speaker 1: isn't the music. It's definitely an ongoing conversation that's going
Speaker 1: to require multiple ways of trying to fix things. And
Speaker 1: so and I will say this. I saw how you
Speaker 1: know Mayor Eric Adams, he's our new mayor, but when
Speaker 1: he was the brooklyn Borough president, we did a whole
Speaker 1: piece march that was pulled together by Bishop Lamar Whitehead.
Speaker 1: And he's been having these conversations with five year foreign
Speaker 1: they did this whole day of Peace thing during Jube,
Speaker 1: which is the day before the West Indian Americans Day Parade.
Speaker 1: And so they've been talking about this stopping the violence,
Speaker 1: and it isn't going to stop that. We have to
Speaker 1: keep it going and keep the conversation open. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: well that is your front page news, all right. Now,
Speaker 1: when we come back, come on, pull up some merry music,
Speaker 1: man cultural icon to get in a move for that legend,
Speaker 1: a person that I've met several several times. Every single time,
Speaker 1: I feel like a complete group you. When I'm around her,
Speaker 1: My palms get tweated, my mouth gets dry, I get
Speaker 1: starstruck every single time. It just is what it is.

Speaker 1: going to do because you have so many? Well, um
Speaker 1: Dre decided on a family affair for us, and um
Speaker 1: Dre decided on no more drama as well. And I
Speaker 1: thought it was important when he said no more drama
Speaker 1: because of the climate of the world right now, just
Speaker 1: because of how everybody just tied at everything. So I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, this is perfect because I'm feeling
Speaker 1: like this too. You know, did you have any songs
Speaker 1: in mind? I mean I had a lot of songs.
Speaker 1: I had real love and all that, you know, But

Speaker 1: the world. My stuff. What was the call like when
Speaker 1: when they asked you to do the Super Bowl? Who

Speaker 1: called me and I was just resting. It was a
Speaker 1: rest day. Jimmy jumps gets on the phone and says, Marry, um,

Speaker 1: Dre asking me to do Super Bowl. And that was
Speaker 1: my day. It made my day. I was laying down,
Speaker 1: like resting and just having a normal day, and that
Speaker 1: day just turned into celebration day. Telling everybody what was
Speaker 1: going to happen. Did you have to think about it?
Speaker 1: Was it like maybe? Or I got to see all
Speaker 1: you right away? He was like, I'm not. I did
Speaker 1: not have to think about it at all. Everything is
Speaker 1: just lined up. I was like, no, this is it.
Speaker 1: This is too good. I'm absolutely break down the performance
Speaker 1: to set, what you wore everything? How did you come
Speaker 1: about all that? Was it a group effort? Like a
Speaker 1: lot of designers had their bids and and so a
Speaker 1: lot of people sent the sketches. Whoever sent them the
Speaker 1: best sketch is the one that got picked and Peter
Speaker 1: Dundas got picked, and um, of course, you know my
Speaker 1: style is Jason and I. You know, we we were
Speaker 1: in on all of them, fatiguing of it and you know,
Speaker 1: making sure it's right and making sure the colors right
Speaker 1: and the last decision is mine and a lot and um,
Speaker 1: that's what we had on. You know, I kept thinking,
Speaker 1: I said, if Andre could have saw you Sunday, like
Speaker 1: that was the person I really wanted to hear from
Speaker 1: because he saw it. You know from the beginning, did
Speaker 1: you did you think about him a lot? He saw me, Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: he saw me. He was so I'm sure he was
Speaker 1: proud I got you know, puff was just um elated,
Speaker 1: like he just losing his mind. You know, my family
Speaker 1: was there, Um, and my friends. If it wasn't from
Speaker 1: my friends Jimmy, Andre, you know, it wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 1: So I do have beautiful friends in the industry. Because
Speaker 1: I said you were nervous, of course I was. I
Speaker 1: was nervous at rehearsals. I was nervous period, But when
Speaker 1: I hit that stage, I was like whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: so when you fell out, that was really just you
Speaker 1: getting a little rest like because he was like, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's just that's a sign of like how I felt,
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, just get tired of you know,
Speaker 1: so he's like, just pass out. That's what normal drama means. Like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I know the world, want to just pass
Speaker 1: out right now, you know if from all of this,
Speaker 1: foolish man. You know, when I think back about you
Speaker 1: know when when Andy said he went to your apartment
Speaker 1: back in the day, and you're saying for him, when
Speaker 1: you think about that, young lady, did you see this?
Speaker 1: Did you see moments like this happening? Did you think
Speaker 1: it would go this far? Absolutely not. Wow, I did
Speaker 1: not think it would. I didn't think I would live
Speaker 1: past my life. Hmm. But I'm here and now I'm
Speaker 1: here here, and now I want to be here. Now
Speaker 1: that's it. You know, nobody can stop that. Absolutely. We
Speaker 1: also talk about Doctor Dres saying that he wants to
Speaker 1: produce that the next album. Did you have a conversation.
Speaker 1: Was that planning or that something he just slipped up
Speaker 1: and said the other day, No, that was something we
Speaker 1: we didn't We didn't plan it. We was talking about
Speaker 1: it because um, that was something I always wanted to do,
Speaker 1: like do a produced album by Doctor Dre because all
Speaker 1: everything he does, you know you're gonna get smashes and
Speaker 1: you know it's going to be excellent because Drey's you know, amazing.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Yo, this was a dream. This
Speaker 1: is a dream come true for me. I would I
Speaker 1: want you to produce an album for me? And he
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, it's a dream come true
Speaker 1: for me. And then boom, like here we are. It's
Speaker 1: really happening. Really, like will he really do it? Though?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you know the rock Him album? Like
Speaker 1: I don't think so. We look forward to it and
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, Na, not with me because I'm on
Speaker 1: it all over it Like I've been on a sense
Speaker 1: I've said something like I've been like, yo, let's listen. Yo,
Speaker 1: we had the listening session. I've been and he's been
Speaker 1: sending you know, stuff back to me. So it's really
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Absolutely, let's talk Hello, gorgeous, good morning, gorgeous,
Speaker 1: Good morning, gorgeous, gorgeous. But you said, um, the name
Speaker 1: of the album. Tell people if they haven't heard the album,
Speaker 1: how'd you come up with the name of the album.
Speaker 1: It was dope. What the name of the album came
Speaker 1: from it. It's not it's not good morning gorgeous. It's
Speaker 1: not anything. There's nothing vain about that. It's a positive affirmation.
Speaker 1: It's something I had to say to myself when I
Speaker 1: was in him very very dark situ because I was
Speaker 1: never enough. I couldn't please this person. Nothing was never enough.
Speaker 1: So I was like, Okay, maybe this person hates me
Speaker 1: more than I hate me. So I had to find
Speaker 1: a way to love myself out of that situation. And
Speaker 1: so I would get up in the morning and first
Speaker 1: thing in the morning. And the reason why I chose
Speaker 1: first thing in the morning because nobody looks beautiful or
Speaker 1: anything or thinks anything about themselves in the morning except
Speaker 1: I'm away, and I said, um, I would say go
Speaker 1: to Marry and say good morning, gorgeous, good morning, beautiful,
Speaker 1: good morning Mary, good morning, something that I wanted to
Speaker 1: feel good about. And that's where the title came from,
Speaker 1: me loving my way out of some hell. And that's
Speaker 1: why title was an album, Good Morning Gorgeous. In the
Speaker 1: studio yeah, okay, yeah, I wasn't in the studio with her.
Speaker 1: I always I always wanted to work with her, and
Speaker 1: Lucky Days, a really good friend of mine, And when
Speaker 1: we got to the session, her was like, well, what
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about? And everybody just started
Speaker 1: talking about what they think it should be about. And
Speaker 1: I was holding back on the title. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to give it up because I felt so vulnerable. I
Speaker 1: didn't so much away. I was like, excuse me. I
Speaker 1: was like, um, okay, I have this title. It's called
Speaker 1: good Morning Gorgeous. And everybody said, oh, you know, everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: good morning gorgeous. And I started telling everybody you heard
Speaker 1: the loud about where it came from, and um, it's
Speaker 1: here now, the whole thing, you know. And it's not
Speaker 1: because of like I'm sitting around thinking I'm Appolloni and
Speaker 1: halle Berry because they you know, you think of them,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh they're gorgeous, you know. But it's it's
Speaker 1: something I had to say to myself so I can
Speaker 1: manifest something positive and if in me about me and
Speaker 1: love my and and now I love me really really,
Speaker 1: you know. And and hey, i think I've looked pretty
Speaker 1: damn good, you know what I'm saying. But I'm oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you thought that's just the real love video what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? But I haven't But but I didn't
Speaker 1: even think that. Then you see what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: this has been a lot. And then when you get
Speaker 1: with somebody and then they just take you way down
Speaker 1: further than what you already were, you start to realize, Nah,
Speaker 1: you know, my life is more important than someone taking
Speaker 1: it away from me, like you know. So all right,
Speaker 1: when we come back, we got more with Mary jay blin.
Speaker 1: Let's get into a married mini mix. Man. Mary said,
Speaker 1: it's the breakfast Club. Good Morning, I'm marrying Jickly, I'm
Speaker 1: marrying him live. They was, I'm Mary, y'all tucking Mary,
Speaker 1: don't know of you, I'm day Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: That was a married mini mix. Mary j Blige is
Speaker 1: here straight off the Super Bowl. I've seen your interview
Speaker 1: with with Andre. You were talking about you were so
Speaker 1: low that you had to go on tour to get
Speaker 1: back up. Yes, he wiped you dry, so all that
Speaker 1: was true. Yeah, So so you know, everybody wanted to
Speaker 1: know what the Rent Money song was about. That's what
Speaker 1: I wrote that song with Um the writers during that time,
Speaker 1: because when I had to pay us alum on and
Speaker 1: I didn't have no money to pay it, I had
Speaker 1: to go on tour to pay it. I had to
Speaker 1: go on to it to pay to Alumoni, had to
Speaker 1: go and pay on to it to pay the rent
Speaker 1: because he had spent all the money by the time
Speaker 1: I got to um the deposition and saw everything that
Speaker 1: he did, like I didn't have a dollar left, like
Speaker 1: he had spent everything, and he knew he spent everything,
Speaker 1: but still asking me for more money. So that was
Speaker 1: about a vacancy, you know. You know, if you can't
Speaker 1: you know, rent, money's about a vacancy. That was about that,
Speaker 1: you know. No, when you say no money, like zero
Speaker 1: dollars like Mary J. Blige broke it probably different than
Speaker 1: everybody else. Bro Yeah, I mean I guess that's that's
Speaker 1: what you want to call it. But it wasn't enough
Speaker 1: to pay alimony, you know, the alimony that he was
Speaker 1: asking for, and it was I had to pay my rent,
Speaker 1: you know, so you know what I'm saying, Like it
Speaker 1: was it was a lot that came with that, and
Speaker 1: I had to go to work, you know, And I
Speaker 1: think I've been in the industry broke before, like not
Speaker 1: broke like you know, like live, you know, like nothing,
Speaker 1: but not enough to pay the overhead. We all have
Speaker 1: an overhead, you know, And I couldn't get the overhead paid,
Speaker 1: so I had to go work for it, you know.
Speaker 1: And not that I don't mind. I don't mind working,
Speaker 1: but it's just it's just for that I got to
Speaker 1: work to pay you money. So how hard is it
Speaker 1: like to not reach out to your people? Like you said,
Speaker 1: you got a great circle, you know, like from the
Speaker 1: holes to the days, Like how hard not to reach
Speaker 1: out to them? I don't like that. I don't like
Speaker 1: asking people for anything. I have never asked any of
Speaker 1: my friends for any money, any of the guys. I know.
Speaker 1: I'm a worker. I could my own I got it. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: Oh I gotta do this, no problem. I just don't
Speaker 1: want to go to people. I just don't like asking,
Speaker 1: you know. That's not my mother raised me, like, don't
Speaker 1: you know, if you can do it yourself, don't ask,
Speaker 1: you know, And I don't. And I know they don't mind. No,
Speaker 1: I know they would all just do it, but I
Speaker 1: just don't. I don't like to feel like I old
Speaker 1: people stuff. But you showed up for so many people.
Speaker 1: I mean, one of my favorite stories is Andrew Martinez book.
Speaker 1: When you know she was couldn't pay her rent and
Speaker 1: you had a check and you had to ride around
Speaker 1: looking for a check cash in place. It's like you've
Speaker 1: always showed up for people, but you don't expect that
Speaker 1: every turn. I just don't like asking people for stuff.
Speaker 1: I really don't especially money. Can I borrow it? It's
Speaker 1: just still nuts coming out of my mouth. Can I borrow?
Speaker 1: Even though I know you got it? Can I borrow
Speaker 1: a million dollars? I don't like it, don't feel it,
Speaker 1: doesn't feel right. Wow, and you're such it In New York.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the album I Heard Davis. I hear
Speaker 1: five ye Olds. I was working with always the new
Speaker 1: up and coming talent amazing. Um Dave is dope talented
Speaker 1: artists who always thought provoking in his lyrics and and
Speaker 1: a beautiful person. Five always wanted to do a drill
Speaker 1: beat song with me. I said, there you go, five
Speaker 1: you got it? And Um Anderson Pack always wanted to
Speaker 1: always wanted to work with Anderson Pack always and it
Speaker 1: was just a lot of fun, Like just just to
Speaker 1: hear these guys on the records in the seat and
Speaker 1: perform Love without the Heartbreaker is a great record. I
Speaker 1: love that record. What was that motivation? You know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What it's saying we all want love, but we don't
Speaker 1: want the heartbreak. The heartbreak sucks, like you know then
Speaker 1: you know that feeling like damn, like it's over or
Speaker 1: I gotta wait or you know whatever. And it reminds
Speaker 1: me of how people never they don't a lot of
Speaker 1: people say I don't want Mary's music without the heartbreak?
Speaker 1: Do you think about that when you approached the studio?
Speaker 1: Now I don't think about it no more. I think
Speaker 1: about it from where I am, Like, what am I doing?
Speaker 1: How am I feeling? I'm not gonna never not have
Speaker 1: heartbreak because that's just that's just life. Life is gonna
Speaker 1: People are gonna disappoint you. During the Super Bowl ad,
Speaker 1: I see you doing an ad for health screening. Did
Speaker 1: you have a scare or was it something that you
Speaker 1: just like, No, this is want women to start making
Speaker 1: sure they test themselves. No. My um I had. My
Speaker 1: grandmother died from cervical cancer, two of my aunts died
Speaker 1: from breast cancer and lung cancer. My godmother passed away
Speaker 1: when I was a little girl from from breast cancer.
Speaker 1: And what happened is the reason why I wanted to
Speaker 1: do is beca because we don't discuss it in black women.
Speaker 1: I've never heard its about a mamogram in my home
Speaker 1: before in my life. So when it came to me,
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this is this is perfect because
Speaker 1: now I didn't started getting the mamograham till I was forty,
Speaker 1: you know, and I and that was because a doctor
Speaker 1: said you need to go get a mamograham and I
Speaker 1: was like, what's that? And then I went and you know,
Speaker 1: they did the whole thing and it's early, early detection,
Speaker 1: it can save your life. So um, it was important
Speaker 1: for me to share the story about me losing losing
Speaker 1: these women. And the reason why it was important is
Speaker 1: because they just one day, they just die and everybody said, oh,
Speaker 1: someone so die from cancer. You're like, why you know?
Speaker 1: And I believe if they had access to this information
Speaker 1: or the proper healthcare back in those days, maybe they
Speaker 1: I hope that they would have done it. But that's
Speaker 1: what causes a lot of you know, African American women
Speaker 1: to pass away from breast cancer like that. I'm also
Speaker 1: gonna ask, did you ever get a break, Mary, because
Speaker 1: even during the pandemic and COVID you were filming, you
Speaker 1: were working. Did you ever just rest to say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I can just relax now because you're always working.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm home and I take my rest Seriously. I
Speaker 1: sleep hard and play hard. Yeah, I mean I can't.
Speaker 1: That's why she took that nap during a halftime, so
Speaker 1: she needed a little nap. I was tired. You see
Speaker 1: me laying. People talk to you in the street like
Speaker 1: you are really money. Now. Hey, they called me moment
Speaker 1: that they always called me your mode. I'm like, oh god, no,
Speaker 1: please can marry live? Just let mone mode and marry people.
Speaker 1: We know how therapeutic music can be. What about what
Speaker 1: about acting? Does it feel like an escape when you playing?
Speaker 1: It feels like I'm killing everybody I wanted to kill one.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm cursing out everybody I wanted to
Speaker 1: curse out when I curse at him. She's definitely my
Speaker 1: therapy right now. So you enjoyed your and you clearly
Speaker 1: are to join it clearly. Thank you fifty Scent and
Speaker 1: Courtney Kemp for this opportunity to just get it all
Speaker 1: out for people that don't know. How did that? How
Speaker 1: did that come about? Did he reach out to you
Speaker 1: or did you reach out to him? How did that happen?
Speaker 1: It was a conversation at me. Courtney and fifty had
Speaker 1: been having all along about how much I love power,
Speaker 1: and they was like, we gotta get you one there.
Speaker 1: I said, absolutely, one hundred percent. Just let me know,
Speaker 1: you know, hollow when y'a all ready, And they did,
Speaker 1: and then we had the meeting and we started discussing.
Speaker 1: You know, I started telling my stories about, you know,
Speaker 1: this woman that I've grown up where I have all
Speaker 1: my friends, damn Neil money and my mother with you know,
Speaker 1: without selling the drugs. You just don't play around, so
Speaker 1: you know, and pretty much every woman that's that's a
Speaker 1: single parent mother, you know, with their husband in jail
Speaker 1: or dead or whatever, or or money. So um, when
Speaker 1: I went started telling them about the story, you know,
Speaker 1: and who I grew up with, they were just fascinated
Speaker 1: and adding things and you know, just this character just
Speaker 1: was born, like beutiful were you acting before? But is
Speaker 1: it hard to get into character every time you take
Speaker 1: on one of these jobs? Um? Morne is not hard
Speaker 1: to get in you just find something and go, um,
Speaker 1: but you envision people when you pull the trigger, like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: when I did my bound it was it was easy too.
Speaker 1: I think I find things that I can really just
Speaker 1: get into right away, you know, and and and really
Speaker 1: be real with well, I could draw something from out
Speaker 1: of me or out of my life into it. And
Speaker 1: do you like acting more than music or do you
Speaker 1: like music more than acting? Or is it phases? I
Speaker 1: love them both the same. I think the acting is
Speaker 1: new and it's a challenge, and I love a challenge though,
Speaker 1: um that's what's taking a lot of my time right now.
Speaker 1: But I love singing too. All right, we got more

Speaker 1: three six Mafia sample right there from Mary J. Bliging

Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. It looks like five year shout
Speaker 1: to five year four to five yeo, al right, it
Speaker 1: does look like five though it does yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: five yeo. All right. But let's get to the room.
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Well.
Speaker 1: Twenty years later Genius a Kanye trilogy. The first part
Speaker 1: has hit Netflix and a lot of people are getting
Speaker 1: some insight into Kanye and how things first kicked off
Speaker 1: for him. So they're showing him previewing the song. All
Speaker 1: falls down in the offices of Rockefeller and basically he
Speaker 1: was seen as a producer, but he really wanted to
Speaker 1: get signed, and he wanted to get to get signed
Speaker 1: on Rockefeller Records. He decides he wants to bum rush
Speaker 1: the office play his music and didn't seem like people
Speaker 1: were paying too much attention to this hit song. Listen
Speaker 1: to this, So she made a daughter, Alexa. She had
Speaker 1: his zone that it looked like she cut it all off,
Speaker 1: that she liked and she be dealer with some issues
Speaker 1: that you can't believe. The single black female addicted to
Speaker 1: retail a Well. That was such a very interesting part
Speaker 1: of the documentary because it really shows that it does
Speaker 1: not matter what other people think of you. It's about
Speaker 1: what you think of yourself, and that's why your dreams
Speaker 1: and your dreams and nobody else is supposed to believe
Speaker 1: in them. But I wonder how other execs, the exects
Speaker 1: in that video feel after seeing how they fronted on Kanye,
Speaker 1: And I wondered, do you have a vendetta against the
Speaker 1: industry if you're Kanye forever because of how they fronted.
Speaker 1: But I think it should make you want to go harder.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think all of us have been in
Speaker 1: a situation where somebody doubted us. No, they didn't doubt him,
Speaker 1: They just scraate up was ignoring him. And by the way,
Speaker 1: that becomes a hit. That became a hit record. And
Speaker 1: this is after Kanye had produced The Blueprint, but a rapper,
Speaker 1: he was a producer at the time. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Just think about how many doors close
Speaker 1: in your face and you tell us all the time,
Speaker 1: you tell me all the time about people said you
Speaker 1: would never make it, you will never be and guess
Speaker 1: and guess what, I just let that hurt go. I
Speaker 1: hated them, niggas you still do, No, I don't, I
Speaker 1: really did. Why I refused to brought him on Instagram.
Speaker 1: They and you know, I saw I saw a lot
Speaker 1: of people saying that they knew this was a hit
Speaker 1: song right away and how could anybody not know that
Speaker 1: because it do sound dope, But you know, they were
Speaker 1: at work in the middle of the work day. He
Speaker 1: did try to be composes and I'm sure they and
Speaker 1: I'm sure they also knew him well enough that they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you know people too well, so maybe
Speaker 1: you don't take it as seriously because you know them. True,
Speaker 1: but it's a record label. Those well we say they
Speaker 1: had work. Yeah, I agree, Yeah, it's a record label.
Speaker 1: And you know why you see when Kanye you can
Speaker 1: walk up to Kanye and the screen and start rapping
Speaker 1: and Hill listen, Yeah, it's because of that, because he
Speaker 1: knows how it feels to be be front of him. Well,
Speaker 1: that's how Big Sean got his deal. He you know,
Speaker 1: he walked up to Kanye when he was leaving a
Speaker 1: radio station rapping and he signed him all right. Now.
Speaker 1: In addition to that, they also talk about the making
Speaker 1: of uh Izzo. It's to the Izzo and here is
Speaker 1: what that sounded like when he was working with jay
Speaker 1: Z on that song. So he's playing that he's fun
Speaker 1: to go in the other room. I was like, yo, whole,
Speaker 1: I gotta played one more be I gotta played one
Speaker 1: and he looked though he tapped me insteads So we
Speaker 1: had to figure out the stuff. He had the same
Speaker 1: between so it's for the one you used to drimple
Speaker 1: down and be a. Then he said he sto is
Speaker 1: old B to THEA and he looked at me and
Speaker 1: said that's the anthem. Get your damn hands up. I
Speaker 1: was like, Mom, we're about to blow up, you blow
Speaker 1: I love how he invested. His mom was in his crowd. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Mom knew the lyrics everything. M hm yes. And as
Speaker 1: the more famous he got, the more he wanted his
Speaker 1: mom around him. I'm sure she kept him grounded and
Speaker 1: she was his biggest cheerleader, as we can see in
Speaker 1: this scene with Donda. Got a lot of confidence to
Speaker 1: come up with a little Eric and even though you're
Speaker 1: humbling everything, but it being portant to remember that the
Speaker 1: giant looked in the mirror and she's nothing. Told you,
Speaker 1: did you think alcohol too arrogant? No? Come on, just
Speaker 1: because it's once inside. Because you can't be a star
Speaker 1: and not be a star. I think the way you
Speaker 1: are hand on yourself. It's really just perfect. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, if you remember like to stay on
Speaker 1: the ground and you can be in the air all
Speaker 1: at the same time. That's what I think it means
Speaker 1: when it says the giants in the mirror and sees nothing,
Speaker 1: everybody else sees the giant, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I love that all right, So for everybody who's been watching,
Speaker 1: that was just part one of that time. It's really good. Yes,
Speaker 1: Paul one was a really good documentary. It makes you
Speaker 1: think that even like, you know, when when somebody comes
Speaker 1: off as arrogant, right, and when they have nothing, I
Speaker 1: get it. That's where the humility comes from having nothing.
Speaker 1: But when you get everything right, that money and that
Speaker 1: power just multiplies whatever it is you already were, right,
Speaker 1: So if you're arrogant, you'd be a hundred times more
Speaker 1: arrogant with the money than the But I think it's
Speaker 1: also when you are creative and you're doing things and
Speaker 1: people are, you know, disrespecting your your talent and disrespecting
Speaker 1: you are what you create, and then when it finally pops,
Speaker 1: it's almost like you want to give a middle finger
Speaker 1: to the world, but you gotta let that hurt go though, right,
Speaker 1: it's like a chip, It's like a chip on your shoulder.
Speaker 1: And then seeing how much his mother impacted him, and
Speaker 1: I think we all knew that, and to have her
Speaker 1: not here with him, we don't. I mean, we can't
Speaker 1: even imagine how that affects him every day. But I
Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, you do have to let
Speaker 1: that hurt go, because if not, you end up just
Speaker 1: projecting that pain. It's supposed to You're definitely supposed to,
Speaker 1: but it's to the point where you know he's not.
Speaker 1: He hasn't got his answers to why. I'm sure, like
Speaker 1: why you issued on me? Why didn't you listen? It
Speaker 1: just didn't get it, and it doesn't matter for him
Speaker 1: and Mike. Now you gotta let that hurt go. I
Speaker 1: get it, though, but you have to let the hurt go.
Speaker 1: I think it's easier said than done. Well, all right,
Speaker 1: well that it's easy to say let that hurt go,
Speaker 1: but it's not so easy to do it all the time.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that is your rumor reports you should
Speaker 1: though for your own well being, you say that, but
Speaker 1: there's been there's times, and you know me myself, I
Speaker 1: don't let I don't let that go, and it'll eventually cannibally. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure eventually cannibal I'm sure, But
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to. You gotta let it go.
Speaker 1: It's like holding your poop. Man. Know, when I let
Speaker 1: it out, it'll all come all right, guys, diarrhea, everything out.
Speaker 1: But let all of that go, envy, empty your uyb
Speaker 1: repeat after me, empty, empty, but that is your positive
Speaker 1: affirmation for the day. Let that go. Okay, you're but

Speaker 1: the Donkey of the day, but like I mean, no harm.
Speaker 1: Donkey to Day for Thursday, February seventeenth goes to forty
Speaker 1: three year old Robin Folsom. Do you know who Robin
Speaker 1: Folsom is. She's a former Georgia official. She was a
Speaker 1: director of External Affairs for the Vocational Rehabilitation Agency. In
Speaker 1: between her, Tender Swindler and Zachary Horrowitch, who was sentenced
Speaker 1: to twenty years in federal prison for scamming investors out
Speaker 1: of an estimated six hundred and fifty million dollars. Scammers
Speaker 1: are having the worst week ever. Okay, maybe not tender
Speaker 1: Swindler because he just signed to an agency and it
Speaker 1: seems like his bad behavior, you know, his scamming ass
Speaker 1: ways being rewarded. But people like Robin Folsom are getting
Speaker 1: caught up after living their best lies. I'm living my
Speaker 1: best lie. All you scammers living your best lies? Intrigued me? Okay,
Speaker 1: I can totally understand why you would do a documentary
Speaker 1: on the tender Swindler I am fascinated by Zachary Horowitz
Speaker 1: story because he raised six hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: from investors, had investors thinking they would be acquiring licensing
Speaker 1: rights to films that HBO and Netflix had agreed to
Speaker 1: distribute abroad. How was that not interesting to someone? If
Speaker 1: you have ever launched a startup or try to get
Speaker 1: funding for a project, and you know how hard it
Speaker 1: is Okay. So to see this man raised six hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars, I'm impressed. Okay, I just sit
Speaker 1: back and I think to myself, though, like you are
Speaker 1: Hollywood acted, do you know what kind of independent films
Speaker 1: you could be producing with that kind of money? If
Speaker 1: you know those kind of investors, then they clearly believe
Speaker 1: in you, which is why they gave you that kind
Speaker 1: of bread to begin with. So why I come up
Speaker 1: with a scam instead of a legit plan to do
Speaker 1: the right thing with that money you raised, I don't know. Whatever.
Speaker 1: It's not about Zachary though, it's about Robbin. Okay, Robin
Speaker 1: scam is pretty impressive too. Now, she didn't raise nowhere
Speaker 1: near the money Island did, but her from next game
Speaker 1: got her what she wanted. Shee. She clearly wanted some
Speaker 1: time off and wanted to get paid for it, so
Speaker 1: she decided that maternity leave would be the best option. Well,
Speaker 1: you need to be pregnant, you know, and have a
Speaker 1: baby from maternity leave. Right, somebody got to shoot that
Speaker 1: club up wrong. Not in the scam of verse. In
Speaker 1: the scam of verse, you can be whatever you need
Speaker 1: to be to get to the bag. Let go the
Speaker 1: WSBTV two for the report. Police Robin Folsom earned about
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year as the senior communications
Speaker 1: official with the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency. Now she's facing
Speaker 1: a four count indictment that accuses her of faking a
Speaker 1: couple of pregnancies in order to collect family medical leave
Speaker 1: pay to which she was not entitled. A co worker
Speaker 1: saw something very strange and blew the list. We thought
Speaker 1: there had to be a misunderstanding. We couldn't believe it,
Speaker 1: State Inspector General Scott McAfee about the tip that led
Speaker 1: to the indictment of forty three year old Robin Folsom.
Speaker 1: According to McAfee, one of Folsom's colleagues witnessed what appeared
Speaker 1: to be a portion of Folsom's stomach come away from
Speaker 1: her body last March. The co workers suspected Folsom was
Speaker 1: wearing one of these so called fake pregnancy devices or costumes,
Speaker 1: which are widely available online. State investigators or the Attorney
Speaker 1: General's office built this indictment largely around Folsom's alleged lies
Speaker 1: that included the creation of a fake person to be
Speaker 1: the fake father. We ultimately didn't find any evidence that
Speaker 1: he existed, and that's why she's also been charged with
Speaker 1: identity fraud. She faked a pregnancy. She had a fake
Speaker 1: baby daddy forty three years old out here, fake in
Speaker 1: high risk pregnancies. All right, she made up a fake
Speaker 1: baby daddy. You know what. The dude's name was, Brian
Speaker 1: Ottomi Bibwe. It spelled ot m e m b e bwe.
Speaker 1: Sounds Nigerian coincidence for a scamra to choose that name,
Speaker 1: I think not alright. He was a made up person,
Speaker 1: and when investigators pressed there on him in October twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, she doubled out and said the man really existed,
Speaker 1: all right. She lied and told the agency that she
Speaker 1: gave birth once before and July twenty twenty and got
Speaker 1: pregnant again in August twenty twenty one. But the investigation
Speaker 1: found there was no official records of Robin Folsom having
Speaker 1: given birth, and her insurance records didn't indicate any pregnancy
Speaker 1: our delivery. My problem with people like this, if they
Speaker 1: are actually smart. She already had a job that was
Speaker 1: paying one hundred thousand dollars a year in Georgia. That's
Speaker 1: good money. Okay, these are ingenious ideas these scammers come
Speaker 1: up with to make money. All they have to do
Speaker 1: is direct their energy to something legit, and they could
Speaker 1: actually probably have the same results, the same type of successful.
Speaker 1: For some reason, they choose a life for crime instead
Speaker 1: of going into whatever their real passion is. All right,
Speaker 1: Robin got paid maternity leaves. She had her fake Nigerian
Speaker 1: baby daddy send an email to her bosses that said
Speaker 1: she was under doctor's orders for several weeks of bed
Speaker 1: rest after giving fake birth to a baby in May
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. You come up with a plan like that,
Speaker 1: you can come up with a plan for anything, all right.
Speaker 1: Do you who know the level of commitment it takes
Speaker 1: to hold up that kind of lie. There are people
Speaker 1: who can't even commit to the truth in the way
Speaker 1: that Robin committed to that lie. So this just shows
Speaker 1: me that, Robin, whatever you chose to commit to in life,
Speaker 1: you would have accomplished, But you chose crime. Now you're
Speaker 1: charged with three counts of making false statements and one
Speaker 1: kind of identity fraud. A local grand jury indicted her
Speaker 1: ass Look, man, they say, the money is the same
Speaker 1: whether you earn it, a scam. It probably true, but
Speaker 1: the consequences of what comes with that money are not
Speaker 1: all right. Earn your money, good consequences, Scam your money, jail, prison,
Speaker 1: Please get Robin Folsom the sweet signs of the Hamiltones.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the dogee the day, the dog gee,
Speaker 1: oh the day. Ye. All right, nope, it's a white
Speaker 1: collar crime. So you already know what RACI is. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me see all right? Wow to me? Wow, you
Speaker 1: knew that swhite woman? Come on, stop. She used a
Speaker 1: Nigerian last name. That threw me off. That's what you do.
Speaker 1: She was sending an email. I'm gonna eat scammers, scamming emails?
Speaker 1: Have you gotten from Nigerians? Come on, she know what
Speaker 1: she was doing. You suck man. I don't wanted to
Speaker 1: play a game. Pause pause, p' gonna get you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get you this. Wow, I'm gonna get you the
Speaker 1: fake baby, a pregnancy kit. I'm gonna buy that for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's We're gonna have to make a bet. You have
Speaker 1: to walk around and tell people you dope in ok me, No, right,
Speaker 1: you don't, I'm aware it and say I'm pregnant from you.
Speaker 1: So either way this game will be played. You ain't
Speaker 1: gonna play it my way, my way. Ask ye is
Speaker 1: next eight hundred five eight five one on five one.
Speaker 1: If you need relationship advice to any type of advice,
Speaker 1: Cale ye. Now it's the breakfast club, Good morning, the
Speaker 1: breakfast club advice. Need personal advice, just the real advice?
Speaker 1: Call up now for ask ye good morning. It's asking Ye.
Speaker 1: What's up? Trish? Hey? How are you? I'm good? How
Speaker 1: are you? I'm great? I had a question because me
Speaker 1: and my boyfriend have been together for about a year
Speaker 1: and we recently just met his kids back in December,
Speaker 1: and then his kids mother they end up getting into
Speaker 1: it about something and now he can't see his kids.
Speaker 1: I mean, we end up having words, but now you know,
Speaker 1: like he's like really his filings about his kids of
Speaker 1: course he can't see them, And I'm just like, should
Speaker 1: I I don't know if I should like be the
Speaker 1: bigger person and try to reach out to her or
Speaker 1: just get some advice on the whole situation on like
Speaker 1: what what do you think I should do? Well? Do
Speaker 1: you have a relationship with her at all? Have y'all
Speaker 1: ever spoken? Are you guys? Cordial? It was. It was
Speaker 1: not a good interaction. It was not. But then I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a good idea for you to and yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good idea for you to
Speaker 1: involve yourself. This is something that you can do with
Speaker 1: support him and whatever his efforts are, and help give
Speaker 1: him some solutions and some ideas of what it is
Speaker 1: that he can do, whether it's something that's legal, whether
Speaker 1: it's I would first, if I was here, try to
Speaker 1: approach this thing from a diplomatic situation, maybe talk to
Speaker 1: her family or another way to go about it. I
Speaker 1: think it would only make it worse if you try
Speaker 1: to put yourself in the middle, because that's going to
Speaker 1: really make her angry. And I'm sure right now she's
Speaker 1: in her feelings and so you involving yourself and his
Speaker 1: business with his children is not a good idea. It
Speaker 1: might actually cause more harm than good. But all you
Speaker 1: can do is be there for him and let him know. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's what you know, here's some options of things you
Speaker 1: can do. Let me know if you need me to
Speaker 1: do anything, you know, And that's it, because putting yourself
Speaker 1: in the middle, no or right? Okay, Well, thank you,
Speaker 1: so much, no problem. I hope you all work it out. Well.
Speaker 1: I hope he works it out because all she's doing
Speaker 1: is hurting the children by trying to punish him, right exactly,
Speaker 1: all right, good luck? Right, all right, we got more
Speaker 1: ask you when we come back. Don't hope it's the
Speaker 1: breakfast Club. Good morning, some real advice with Angela gets
Speaker 1: ask ye. Good morning, it's asking ye Jayla. What is
Speaker 1: your question? Hi? Um, this is really a question. It's
Speaker 1: a question for um you atuli, So okay, trying to
Speaker 1: we're trying to um, you know, get into real estate.
Speaker 1: We want to do flipping and um get some rental properties,
Speaker 1: just you know, for some extra cash. And I reached
Speaker 1: out to this real estate investor, right he has a
Speaker 1: apprenticeship and um a mentorship program. So we had a
Speaker 1: meeting with him and everything was good, like the services
Speaker 1: that he was offering and everything. But when we got
Speaker 1: to the end of the meeting and he told us
Speaker 1: the price, it kind of right, So yes, girl, because
Speaker 1: you could be using that money to actually put into
Speaker 1: the real estate exactly. And that's what a lot of
Speaker 1: people were saying. And it's really extensive. It was like
Speaker 1: over fifteen thousand dollars for a year of mentorship apprenticeship,
Speaker 1: and you know we don't have the money to do
Speaker 1: get into somebody, Taylor, can I can? I give you
Speaker 1: some advice? And this is something that I learned, and
Speaker 1: I have no people personally who have done this. Why
Speaker 1: don't you get your real estate license? A lot of
Speaker 1: people have been saying that, And the only reason I'm
Speaker 1: just hesitant like that, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: It's because I have no interest to being a realtor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you have interest in doing real estate and flipping properties, right,
Speaker 1: And I must explain to you why I think it's
Speaker 1: a good idea. Because if you're going to spend fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and do a year apprenticeship, you might as
Speaker 1: well go on ahead and take those real estate classes online,
Speaker 1: take the test, get your license, and then you'll have
Speaker 1: access to properties that people won't get a chance to
Speaker 1: see before it hits the market. You'll be able to
Speaker 1: network in that way, and then you also won't have
Speaker 1: to pay a fee to a realtor if you want
Speaker 1: to get a property. It just gives you a lot
Speaker 1: more access and you'll learn a lot and you'll learn
Speaker 1: a lot more taking these real estate courses than you
Speaker 1: wouldn't in apprenticeship apprenticeship because you'll learn how all the
Speaker 1: rules and regulations work. You'll learn how to do everything
Speaker 1: that you need to do so you won't have to
Speaker 1: rely on anybody else. That is solid advice, and I
Speaker 1: have done that advice before too, But I never looked
Speaker 1: at it like, you know that way from that angle.
Speaker 1: I just looked at it like I don't want to
Speaker 1: be a realtor, so yeah, no, and listen, having your
Speaker 1: real estate license doesn't mean you have to become a realtor,
Speaker 1: but it's just something that if this is a way
Speaker 1: you want to make money, you have to be invested
Speaker 1: in doing that. I actually got my real I took
Speaker 1: the real estate classes. I just have to take the test.
Speaker 1: But when I tell you, I learned so much about
Speaker 1: real estate, about mortgages, about different laws, about how you can,
Speaker 1: you know, financially protect yourself, all of those things. And
Speaker 1: for you, if you want to be somebody who's really
Speaker 1: great at doing this, then I feel like instead of
Speaker 1: doing a year apprenticeship and paying fifteen thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: somebody else, the courses were like five hundred dollars online,
Speaker 1: you know, And that's a real investment. And I think
Speaker 1: a lot of times we save me want to do things.
Speaker 1: If you want to do it, take it seriously and
Speaker 1: do what you need to do for yourself. And this
Speaker 1: is something that you'll have, you know that I think
Speaker 1: could be beneficial. Even having your real estate license. If
Speaker 1: you find a property and you don't buy it and
Speaker 1: you refer to somebody else, you can get paid off
Speaker 1: of that too, without even having to buy anything. That
Speaker 1: is solid advice. Thank you so much, all right, Jayla,
Speaker 1: good look, get it going, all right? Thank you? All right?
Speaker 1: That was asking eight hundred five eight five one five
Speaker 1: one that we got rumors on the way. Yes, And
Speaker 1: Nick Cannon, is he really trying to get Mariah carry
Speaker 1: back with that song he put out alone? Well, here's
Speaker 1: what he had to say when we come back, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll go to that next. It's the breakfast clubs angela Ye,
Speaker 1: the breakfast club all right. Well, Nick Cannon is explaining
Speaker 1: that song alone that he put out. People were saying
Speaker 1: that he was singing about his ex wife Mariah Carey.
Speaker 1: And here's what he had to say on his show
Speaker 1: about that song. Because he also sampled Mariah Carey on
Speaker 1: that song. You know you realize, man, I really messed
Speaker 1: up I had. I had a probably the greatest situation
Speaker 1: I have my dream girl, and I messed it up.
Speaker 1: So don't don't clamp for that. No, but to be
Speaker 1: honest and vulnerable, I understand why you're clipping. So the
Speaker 1: song wasn't really about trying to get her back. It's
Speaker 1: really said. It was taking ownership of what I did
Speaker 1: as a man and owning my flaws on it and
Speaker 1: expressing it through song. Oh so the song was about her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the song is about her, but it wasn't about
Speaker 1: getting back together. He knows that it's impossible, but he
Speaker 1: said it was just therapy for him, and I guess
Speaker 1: he's just being accountable. Now. That's that's impressive too. I
Speaker 1: wonder when a person realizes that it's over and getting
Speaker 1: back with that person is not a possibility. I wonder
Speaker 1: when do you When do you allow yourself to get
Speaker 1: to that point? And when do you get to that point?
Speaker 1: When do you realize that? Is what I'm trying to say. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean she has a whole new boyfriend now, and
Speaker 1: he's had several children since then and there and our
Speaker 1: ten I think that's part of it. So it does
Speaker 1: take time. I think that's part of it because they
Speaker 1: both moved on at a particular time and Nick Cannon
Speaker 1: got about four or five kids after that, so you know, true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's expecting his eighth child now. So all right. Now,
Speaker 1: the baby is being sued by Danielay's brother, Brandon Bills,
Speaker 1: because of their recent fight at that bowling alley that
Speaker 1: happened in California. So according to the lawsuit, Brandon Bills
Speaker 1: is saying he walked by the baby and the bowling
Speaker 1: alley and the baby suddenly attacked him, leaving him with
Speaker 1: severe injury and pain. He said he didn't fight back,
Speaker 1: and the baby's saut resulted in physical and psychological damage,
Speaker 1: plus of medical bills and sustained disability. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he can't do that. That's not how any of this works. Okay.
Speaker 1: This one of the main issues I have with this error.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to deal with the consequences of their actions.
Speaker 1: You threaten that man, that man, you had an issue
Speaker 1: with him. You told him when he came to LA
Speaker 1: it was on site on site, all right, And even
Speaker 1: after the fact you said you wish you had somebody
Speaker 1: else with you. You know what I'm saying, because it
Speaker 1: would have went down a whole different way. So no,
Speaker 1: you gotta take that hell o King like you just
Speaker 1: gotta take that hell yeah, I don't understand that. You
Speaker 1: can't threaten me saying when I see you, it's on site,
Speaker 1: and then when we see each other we get into
Speaker 1: it because now I'm on defense. You told me you're
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna put hands over you see me? Right,
Speaker 1: you said on site, that's what on site means. And
Speaker 1: then when I see you, I'm scared. I'm defending saying.
Speaker 1: Any of you people talking about, oh he got jumped,
Speaker 1: Yes he did get jumped. But guess what, you can't
Speaker 1: pick the consequences of your actions, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like I can say anything, I can do anything, but
Speaker 1: I can't tell somebody else how to respond. That's how
Speaker 1: they chose to respond. You just gotta take the l
Speaker 1: my brother, So ell, it is what it is. You'll
Speaker 1: be okay, all right? And the Guys on His Truth

Speaker 1: So I hope that they don't play it safe. And
Speaker 1: I hope that they actually have those real conversations about
Speaker 1: comedy and what comedy was and some of the choices
Speaker 1: they made on that show, because I feel like they've
Speaker 1: always made smart choices that something would deem problematic now.
Speaker 1: But I hope they don't run from it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, had a whole other season.
