Speaker 1: So let's get into it right now. Get your ass up.
Speaker 1: It's a Friday. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning to
Speaker 1: tune that beat has that's very hard morning everybody, stej
Speaker 1: Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are to breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Let's getting some front page news. Now, last night was
Speaker 1: the NFL draft. I didn't watch the Charlomagne, did you No,
Speaker 1: I did not watch the NFL Draft last night. Now
Speaker 1: I wasn't into it. All right, Well, what else we got? Easy?
Speaker 1: He Lukedalla brothers that got drafted them absolutely. Well, let's
Speaker 1: start in North Carolina with Andrew Brown Junior. He was
Speaker 1: shot and killed while he was in his car, and
Speaker 1: four of the officers who were on the scene had
Speaker 1: been reinstated. They were at the scene of the shooting,
Speaker 1: but according to the sheriff, they said they had not
Speaker 1: used their weapons, so they are being reinstated. To reinstated
Speaker 1: to active duty. They said they looked at body camera
Speaker 1: footage and other evidence. Sheriff Tommy Routon said it is
Speaker 1: obvious for the deputies never fired their weapons and deserved
Speaker 1: to be reinstated to active duty. More investigation, it's necessary
Speaker 1: into the three deputies who did fire their weapons, and
Speaker 1: they will remain on administrative leave. Now. They are also
Speaker 1: asking people not to rush to judge and pushing back
Speaker 1: with their own check the facts narrative. This is North
Speaker 1: Carolina Andrew Brown Junior who was shy and killed while
Speaker 1: he was in his car. He backed up, went forward,
Speaker 1: and remember the family was allowed to see just a
Speaker 1: few seconds of that footage and they haven't released that
Speaker 1: footage yet. So the family, though, is pushing back against
Speaker 1: what the sheriff is saying, and they're saying that there
Speaker 1: was no contact made because what the police are trying
Speaker 1: to say is that he backed up, moved forward and
Speaker 1: make contact with them with the police, and that's when
Speaker 1: they started shooting. But a relative of Andrew Brown Junior
Speaker 1: has offered a different account of what happens. He does
Speaker 1: not want to be identified, but he told CNN that
Speaker 1: Andrew Brown Junior started backing up his car and they
Speaker 1: started shooting. The front wind showed up his car, he said,
Speaker 1: and then he took off to go across the yard
Speaker 1: and they started shooting the back window of his car.
Speaker 1: And there's also a photo that was shared by the
Speaker 1: relative that appears to show the sheriff Department's truck and
Speaker 1: Brown's driveway They also took pictures of Brown's car after
Speaker 1: the shooting that shows at least one bullet hole in
Speaker 1: the front windshield. So we are waiting for them to
Speaker 1: release that body camera footage, but a judge did rule
Speaker 1: the family was able to watch it, but it would
Speaker 1: not be made public for thirty days. Yeah, it's insane
Speaker 1: for anybody to think that if you shoot in my car,
Speaker 1: I'm not My first reaction is not going to be
Speaker 1: the drive off like I'm supposed to just sit there
Speaker 1: like the bullets hit the car because you're the police, Like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm getting the hell out of here. See now. What
Speaker 1: the police are trying to say, right, is that he
Speaker 1: was in his car moving backward and then forward each
Speaker 1: time making contact with deputies and that's when they opened fire.
Speaker 1: That's what the police are saying. The family member is
Speaker 1: saying that it is not true. Put out the full video. Then, yeah,
Speaker 1: put out put out the full video. You're telling the truth.
Speaker 1: Put out the full video. There's no way I'll tell you,
Speaker 1: even in towns would he steal your car. So for instance,
Speaker 1: you know my car got stole it a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago, and the police seen him. But they couldn't
Speaker 1: give chase because they would it would drive us so reckless.
Speaker 1: So they say they gotta let it go. They can't chase,
Speaker 1: They can't just shoot that cars like that. You're not
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to do that. And if that's
Speaker 1: probably the reason why they don't want to at least
Speaker 1: to be exactly, and if they didn't do that, then
Speaker 1: just put out the video on shows that y'all didn't
Speaker 1: do that. All right, now we telled you go ahead.
Speaker 1: Sh I was moving on to talk about the FDA. Now,
Speaker 1: we were talking about this band on menthol cigarettes that
Speaker 1: the FDA was contemplating, and they have decided yesterday to
Speaker 1: move forward with that band. Eighty five percent of black
Speaker 1: smokers use menthol cigarettes. It's flavors and those cigarettes, and
Speaker 1: some people were concerned that band could empower local law
Speaker 1: enforcement to target black people. But they do have a
Speaker 1: new directive that attempts to address that concern. So what
Speaker 1: they are saying, if implemented, the FDA's enforcement of any
Speaker 1: band on menthol cigarettes and all flavored ciguards will only
Speaker 1: address manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, importers in a retail It's not individuals.
Speaker 1: I don't know what menthol doesn't. I don't know what
Speaker 1: menthol is. I know it's flavoring, so they just won't.
Speaker 1: They rather have a regular flavored cigarette. But if you
Speaker 1: put flavor on a cigarette, it makes it bad. That's
Speaker 1: what they're saying. Season a little boy on it. Because
Speaker 1: I want all cigarettes to be banded. How about that?
Speaker 1: Get rid of all cancer sticks. Sorry smokers, And we've
Speaker 1: probably got a lot of smokers that are listening. But
Speaker 1: y'all don't need that. Y'all been trying to quit father anyway,
Speaker 1: but you can't. That's nothing. Sometimes you got to save
Speaker 1: people from themselves. I want all cancer sticks to be bad.
Speaker 1: Menthol be doled red flavor, grape flavor, rang flavor. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: and mentho, like I said, it cools down your throat
Speaker 1: someone you're smoking it does. It makes it less irritating,
Speaker 1: and so that's why people like it too. All right,
Speaker 1: But that is your front page news. Sounds like hooka,
Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like. Okay. Our producer Dan says,
Speaker 1: menthol is what makes the cigarette minty. I believe that
Speaker 1: ingredient is highly more unhealthy. If you want something that
Speaker 1: tastes like mint, buy some gum. All right, I just
Speaker 1: suck on a mint, all right. Most cigarettes are just
Speaker 1: the ORL fixation anyway. You just like something in your mouth. Okay,
Speaker 1: So just had a little mint flavor the things that
Speaker 1: you like in your mouth and it'll give you the
Speaker 1: same sensation. All right, stroll with you, man, It's Friday, bro,
Speaker 1: like you gotta stop that. I'm talking about another cac
Speaker 1: No on the hour, not every minute on the minute. Yeah,

Speaker 1: well that's his trauma. That's because he used to work
Speaker 1: in a restaurant where he didn't want to work that

Speaker 1: that situation. Yeah, yeah, but you yeah, but you saw

Speaker 1: going on? Man? Good morning? Get it off your chest. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna tell you this whole pandemic thing
Speaker 1: has really got me upset about as far as this
Speaker 1: shot is concerned. You know, they're forcing people to get
Speaker 1: this shots in order to get certain jobs or order
Speaker 1: to hurt so to get certain activities mean that you
Speaker 1: can't even go to us a supporting event if you
Speaker 1: don't have the shot. You can't apply for this certain job.
Speaker 1: If you don't have the shot, you can't go into
Speaker 1: this certain restaurant if you don't have this shot. I
Speaker 1: don't understand why they're forcing people to get this shot.
Speaker 1: Was the shoe is not being tested? Was percent face?
Speaker 1: You know they actually have people that actually gotten sick
Speaker 1: after getting the shot. So I take it you're not
Speaker 1: getting the shot, not until you know, I find out
Speaker 1: the one percent that you side face got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But because people are getting sick over the shot. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not going to be a dupe.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I didn't get sick for a day. Um,
Speaker 1: you didn't get her second shot, so she won't experience
Speaker 1: that for a while if she does get sick. But
Speaker 1: it's one of those things you don't know what it
Speaker 1: happened if if you get the shot, and how it
Speaker 1: affects your body, And we don't know if you get
Speaker 1: COVID how it affects your body. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: one of those things you did if you do your
Speaker 1: damn if you don't. But for myself, I'd rather just be,
Speaker 1: you know, safe. I know most most people who I
Speaker 1: know who are saying they got the shot are saying
Speaker 1: they'd rather do that than potentially get really sick from
Speaker 1: COVID and die. And that's why I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people are telling me I decided to get it,
Speaker 1: and you're right, though they're making it more difficult to
Speaker 1: move around and do things without it. Get it off
Speaker 1: your chests. Eight hundred five eight five one O five one.

Speaker 1: first episode is tomorrow again if you want to tune
Speaker 1: in and check that out all right now. T Payne
Speaker 1: was on TikTok and he explained that he just found
Speaker 1: out that he had all these dms on Instagram when
Speaker 1: when the request folder actually first happened, I went there
Speaker 1: before I actually knew about it. I went there before
Speaker 1: and it was just all thousands and thousands of messages,
Speaker 1: just like you know, a dream. So immediately I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: never going back there again. And then I hired my
Speaker 1: I hired my social media manager, and then a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago he was like, yo, you ever check
Speaker 1: your request folder? And I was like, I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been there before, but it's just like all cornered by
Speaker 1: your drinking Barton Jomps, I'm not going back in that,
Speaker 1: and he was like, dude, no, it's not what am
Speaker 1: I laughing? I just didn't. I have never. I just
Speaker 1: didn't not seen all the people that are hitting me too.
Speaker 1: I just I just don't. I don't ever check on purpose.
Speaker 1: But it's mad people in there. But I just like
Speaker 1: I'm looking down. I'm like, damn, I should have hit
Speaker 1: them back. Oh day, and they hit me, but I
Speaker 1: just don't go. My assistant goes in there get business,
Speaker 1: but I don't. Yeah, there could be some good things
Speaker 1: in there. And his folder we saw that was Fergy Viola,
Speaker 1: Davis Diplo, Carrie Helston By being my mare. So he
Speaker 1: is hitting people back. Now my request my requests on
Speaker 1: Instagram say ninety nine plus because I don't ever check them.
Speaker 1: But I mean that's what you have a business email
Speaker 1: email for in your bio, right, People want to do businesses.
Speaker 1: You didn't hit the business here. Yeah, but sometimes it's
Speaker 1: easier to go on DM. Like let's say artists don't
Speaker 1: have your number, but like you know, let me just
Speaker 1: hit Charloman. You Charloman, I need you for something. But
Speaker 1: that's it's a lot of that oh yo, Charlotte heard this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but don't assume. Don't assume that I check my DMS.
Speaker 1: I don't for my own mental health. I don't be
Speaker 1: all of my dms. Plus this is most people do. Well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of collapse have come about because
Speaker 1: of DM. You know people oh, such as hit me
Speaker 1: up in a DM. I couldn't believe it was them.
Speaker 1: So I think that's good and it's a good way
Speaker 1: to verify too. If the person is you know, obviously
Speaker 1: that coming from their account, you can see the check
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, that's a real one. You'd be
Speaker 1: there all day going through thousands and thousands dms. Anybody
Speaker 1: got time for it? Yeah, I mean I don't think
Speaker 1: you get thousands every day, but if you keep up
Speaker 1: on it, you can just go through it every day.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, Doctor Dre has been ordered to pay
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars to his estranged wife for her
Speaker 1: legal fees. It's only ten percent of the five million
Speaker 1: that she is demanding from him. And they also right
Speaker 1: now are officially single. So what that means is while
Speaker 1: they are trying to work through this divorce, they can
Speaker 1: actually if they have the option to remarry in the
Speaker 1: future while this divorce process goes on. So legally they
Speaker 1: are now single. Why do I got to pay your
Speaker 1: legal fees in a divorce? If you file for divorce
Speaker 1: against me, Why do I gotta pay for your legal fees?
Speaker 1: You don't one wanting to divorce me. Pay for your
Speaker 1: own your own weight? What is it? Pay your own way?
Speaker 1: You gotta be pay your own way. She wasn't working,
Speaker 1: and she was holding down the kids while he was working.
Speaker 1: So she had a job, and her job was maintaining
Speaker 1: the house and maintaining the kids. So it feels like
Speaker 1: you're paying somebody to shoot you. It feels like it's both.
Speaker 1: It's both your money. Honestly, No, I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like they both money. You said, all right, now,
Speaker 1: I said, I feel like they both want to divorce.
Speaker 1: Right that she just wanted pay for yours. I'll pay
Speaker 1: for mine anyway. Joe Rogan is walking back some of
Speaker 1: his COVID nineteen comments that he made. If y'all recall,

Speaker 1: all right. Well, forget that, Uh now, every hour, we
Speaker 1: are going to be doing some DJ Khaled stories and
Speaker 1: so yes we are every hour on the hour stories.
Speaker 1: You're doing songs and stories. Yes, that's a new one
Speaker 1: to the iHeart Studilas package. I never heard the stories part.
Speaker 1: Go well, I made this one up today this morning
Speaker 1: to go along with us playing the songs every hour.
Speaker 1: And since we are about to get into this song,
Speaker 1: DJ Khalid announced to via Twitter and Instagram that Cardi
Speaker 1: B did send her vocals for the new album, So
Speaker 1: of course everybody was excited about that Cardi b vocals
Speaker 1: is in one hundred one percent. And then he said, Jamie,
Speaker 1: update the track list now, Kali Khalid, tonight midnight, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you a light show. And here's what happened.
Speaker 1: I've didn't thought I was gonna make the record, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, Like I got the beat before yesterday. Hey, yes,
Speaker 1: I wrote the record, and I was just like brainstorm
Speaker 1: and brainstorm and brainstorm, and like what the because one
Speaker 1: thing I've been really insecure ball is my accent. So
Speaker 1: I was making sure that everything is mixed right, literally,
Speaker 1: like I think Kali got the song today at seventy
Speaker 1: and my time, so it's a little something something to
Speaker 1: hold you out and soil I release my next projects
Speaker 1: and my next anything that I'm doing. I'm doing a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of things. Why is Cardi ME insecure about
Speaker 1: her accent? People love her accent. Millions and millions of
Speaker 1: people are gravitated towards Cardi B because of who Cardi
Speaker 1: B is. Why is she insecure about her accent? Now, Cardi,
Speaker 1: you have no reason being skilled about your accent. Do
Speaker 1: not let these digital d heads on social media get
Speaker 1: to you, Okay Jesus, all right, well let's get into sound.
Speaker 1: DJ Khaleed, Yeah, this is my joint. This is you're
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you it's not part of the package.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you'all just did this paper featuring Cardi B.
Speaker 1: Right now, because y'all just did this, because y'all want
Speaker 1: to do this, which one y'are doing, I'm doing that.
Speaker 1: We're doing it. We'll play top of the Hours into
Speaker 1: big paper Cardi B. All right, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: It's a breakfast Lugal morning, so breakfast club. Your mornings
Speaker 1: will never be the same. Mountain Dew is partnering with
Speaker 1: HBCUs and an effort to uplift the next generation of
Speaker 1: badass black innovators and entrepreneurs with the Real Change Opportunity
Speaker 1: fun pitch competition, empowering students to go out and do
Speaker 1: is it mountain dew dot com slash real Change to
Speaker 1: enter where we're starting well. I Rudy Giuliani. They raided
Speaker 1: his home and his office, and he went on his
Speaker 1: radio show to talk about what led the FBI to
Speaker 1: conduct this raid and what happened. Here's what he said
Speaker 1: happened during the raid about six o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: there was a big bang bang bang on the door,
Speaker 1: and outside were seven FBI agents. What they warn't and
Speaker 1: I said, you know, this is extraordinary because I've offered
Speaker 1: to give these to the government and talk it over
Speaker 1: with the other for two years. The agent seemed somewhat apologetic.
Speaker 1: I might say they were very, very professional and very gentlemanly.
Speaker 1: The only time they got perturbed is at the end
Speaker 1: of the surge, when they had taken about i'd say
Speaker 1: seven or eight electronic items of mind, which is what
Speaker 1: they took. They weren't taking the three hard drives. I said, well,
Speaker 1: don't you want these? And they said, what are they?
Speaker 1: I said, those are Hunter Biden's hard drives, and they said, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we don't even know what they are looking for. With
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani. If Rudy was any other race other than white,
Speaker 1: we would know exactly why he was there, like we would.
Speaker 1: He's gonna don't worry. We're gonna get to that. And
Speaker 1: he also said that the warrant was illegal. That warrant
Speaker 1: is completely illegal. The only way you can get a
Speaker 1: search warrant is if you can show that there's some
Speaker 1: evidence that the person is going to destroy the evidence
Speaker 1: or is going to run away with the evidence. Well,
Speaker 1: I've had it for two years and I haven't destroyed it.
Speaker 1: And they also got it from the YE cloud. So
Speaker 1: there is no justification for that warrant. It is an illegal,
Speaker 1: unconstitutional warrant. And why does Rudy have run a Biden's
Speaker 1: hard drive? He was joking, he was joking. Oh, he
Speaker 1: keeps saying, stopped looking at my hard drive, go to
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. And in addition to that, this is what
Speaker 1: the basis of the warrant is. According to Rudy Giuliani,
Speaker 1: the search warrant is purportably based on one single failure
Speaker 1: to file for representing a Ukrainian national or official that
Speaker 1: I never represented. So he's saying he didn't file as
Speaker 1: a foreign age agent prior to dealing with Ukraine, and
Speaker 1: he said that is false. So why hasn't the FBI
Speaker 1: made made it public while they raided rooted Giuliani's house
Speaker 1: though I really feel like if he was any other race,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't know exactly why they were in there, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, in addition to that, by the way,
Speaker 1: since you know this was in Manhattan, you know New
Speaker 1: York is back open on July first. They're gonna fully reopen,
Speaker 1: just giving y'all that it was. But what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Like fully open? Does that mean a one hundred percent
Speaker 1: capacity at restaurants? One hundred percent capacity at venues, bars
Speaker 1: and clubs open? Like what does fully open mean? Like?
Speaker 1: What does it mean? But the stars, businesses, um, you know, offices, theaters,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to operate at full strength. So
Speaker 1: full capacity we open, we we we lit, we back
Speaker 1: open and popping. Everything's open a hundred percent. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I'm anna cancer, So I'm on first.
Speaker 1: Though it's not telled your life first, So it's not
Speaker 1: right now, I won't even notice. I won't even notice
Speaker 1: if the city's open or not, because i'd be home. Well,
Speaker 1: formerly it was the COVID nineteen episenter. So right now
Speaker 1: they're on track to reopening. But there's still time because
Speaker 1: think about it, it's only isn't May yet, it's made tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we still have a Yeah, we still got a
Speaker 1: couple of months. So if anything crazy happens, I'm sure
Speaker 1: they'll shut it back down again. But now if we
Speaker 1: keep on going on track like we are, we'll be
Speaker 1: back open July first. Now you can go back to Broadway,
Speaker 1: go to the theaters, tourism, So that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the fact that people are going
Speaker 1: to be able to get back to work, especially Broadway
Speaker 1: and entertainment in New York City, because they've been shut in.
Speaker 1: New York is kind of built off of entertainment, you know,
Speaker 1: So the fact that they can get back to work,
Speaker 1: I'm happy for that. Yeah. But just because you open,
Speaker 1: no mean that people gonna you know, start frequenting your
Speaker 1: functions and your venues. People still gonna be a little leary,
Speaker 1: you know. I think they're gonna come out. Like you
Speaker 1: look at some of those towns like Atlanta, like your Texas,
Speaker 1: like those towns, people are coming out. They never closed,
Speaker 1: they did close, so they were they were in the
Speaker 1: beginning closed. I don't think Florida ever close. But that
Speaker 1: is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss Ye.
Speaker 1: Now when we come back, Don Dixon will be joining us.
Speaker 1: She's an entrepreneur she h. She works in tech, but
Speaker 1: she also helps other women and other minorities in tech
Speaker 1: get the money that they need. So we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: to her. And if you're in tech or you're curious
Speaker 1: about tech, this is a conversation for you, so don't
Speaker 1: move during Dixon. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We have a special guest in the building. That's right,
Speaker 1: Don Dixon, welcome back, Good morning, Good morning. Done. You
Speaker 1: know how hot you got us among all our entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: I know, it's like, how many people who hit me
Speaker 1: up with that had startups after you was on the
Speaker 1: first time. I wasn't. I don't know what happened. I
Speaker 1: wasn't paying no attention. What happened? Man? The viral effect
Speaker 1: your audience is amazing. And after I came on and
Speaker 1: talked about my crowdfunding campaign, what two years ago, it
Speaker 1: went viral and I became the first female founder to
Speaker 1: raise over a million dollars. That's really just your whole audience.
Speaker 1: That is so amazing, because I want to say, when
Speaker 1: I first met doing, she was no joke. She was listening.
Speaker 1: I was on and I said this before I was
Speaker 1: at a restaurant. You popped up because I said I
Speaker 1: was there. You would like, here's some of my flat
Speaker 1: out hills and look at you, like, that's just amazing
Speaker 1: because I love when I see people who are so
Speaker 1: passionate about a product that they have and it might
Speaker 1: take a while to get to where you got to, Like,
Speaker 1: how long ago did you start that flat out? It's
Speaker 1: ten years old this month, so that was probably eight
Speaker 1: years ago when I first met you. So how long
Speaker 1: did it take for you to turn a profit from that? Well,
Speaker 1: let's see, it took about two years to break even.
Speaker 1: You know, I had to put a lot into research
Speaker 1: and development. Of course, getting a product made. I was
Speaker 1: making them China. So it took about two years, but
Speaker 1: we've been profitable for eight years now and now I
Speaker 1: was just really trying to scale it and grow it
Speaker 1: with the vending machines. Now, that was the original idea.
Speaker 1: It took me forever. I started a popcom because it
Speaker 1: flat out. And now our second flat out machines went
Speaker 1: live last night in Dallas and the big day for
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs today. Yeah, you're good luck to me too. So
Speaker 1: I just want to thank you for coming up here.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the vending machines and if you
Speaker 1: can explain to people the idea that you had and
Speaker 1: how it's been flourishing since. Yeah. So the original idea was,
Speaker 1: you know, ten years ago, I'm in the club, my
Speaker 1: feet hurt from wearing hills. I said, we need, you know,
Speaker 1: a way to rescue our feet, and so I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put some flats in vending machines. But after
Speaker 1: I did that in Club Live in Atlanta Airport and
Speaker 1: MGM Casino, I realized that in order to really grow
Speaker 1: this business, I needed software. I needed technology, and so
Speaker 1: I started Popcom, which was the business that I came
Speaker 1: on and talked about before as well to really build
Speaker 1: the software and the technology to drive the machines, make
Speaker 1: them smarter, make them more intelligent, use facial recognition, blockchain,
Speaker 1: and really now anybody can sell anything in these machines.
Speaker 1: So it's flat out, flat out has two machines live now,
Speaker 1: but we have an alcohol customer, a cannabis customer. We
Speaker 1: have twenty customers selling everything from you know, food to
Speaker 1: jewelry to T shirts to alcohol. Pandemic affected you, it's
Speaker 1: been good or bad because a lot of the venues
Speaker 1: have been closed. Yeah, you know what. The pandemic really
Speaker 1: we had to pivot, but that gave us an opportunity
Speaker 1: to go back and re engineer the product to make
Speaker 1: it better. So we didn't launch last year like we
Speaker 1: were supposed to as far as having them out in
Speaker 1: twenty venues, but we did some important things like bring
Speaker 1: our supply chain from China to the United States, which
Speaker 1: was a big deal. We re engineered the machines and
Speaker 1: the materials so now you can use them with gloves
Speaker 1: or a pin or a stylish You don't have to
Speaker 1: touch the machines, you know, So that's like a COVID protection.
Speaker 1: But we really added a new business model too. We
Speaker 1: had we added a leasing model, so now retailers are
Speaker 1: signing up so fast because they don't have to buy
Speaker 1: the machine anymore. So Covid did set us back, but
Speaker 1: it really set us back for the for the you know,
Speaker 1: it gave us time to not have to rush and
Speaker 1: to really meet the demand of the public better. Do
Speaker 1: you think that's where it's always going to stay in
Speaker 1: the vending machines or do you think it ever be
Speaker 1: like its own product? So flatouts they're sold online and
Speaker 1: in stores and invending machines. But for Popcom, we're a
Speaker 1: software company, so we're really here for all retail I
Speaker 1: was just telling that informations. It's so valuable right too,
Speaker 1: for any company to have to be able to get
Speaker 1: all of that. That's what's really valuable too, not just
Speaker 1: having the machines, but having your customer profiles that's available.
Speaker 1: And yes, I have my press juices during fest Juice,
Speaker 1: and the first thing I thought when we relaunched the
Speaker 1: juices was I gotta talk to Don when I get
Speaker 1: to that point about getting these machines them, because I
Speaker 1: think that would be great for like sporting venues and
Speaker 1: places like that in malls to be able to put
Speaker 1: that in those machines, and your machines look different too.
Speaker 1: They do, so they count traffic, they tell how many
Speaker 1: people walk by, they tell your conversion rates, if the
Speaker 1: person is male or female, how long they spin there,
Speaker 1: and then that goes all into the dashboard. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like Google Analytics does. But for the consumer, it's
Speaker 1: the same experience. I go up to it, it's very fast,
Speaker 1: they shop, the product comes out and delivers ads and
Speaker 1: really a customized, targeted experience. Now what do you do
Speaker 1: if you get something from a vendor machine and you
Speaker 1: would need to bring it back because you can't put
Speaker 1: it back in the vindo machine the same thing as
Speaker 1: e commerce you send it back. But we are building
Speaker 1: and they do have some coming to market return machine,
Speaker 1: so you literally can just put the product and deposit
Speaker 1: it back in there. So that's coming. But automation is growing.
Speaker 1: People are gonna be just be turning it empty. Stuff
Speaker 1: don't say. But that's the thing. When you do things
Speaker 1: like that, you have to calibrate it for weight, So
Speaker 1: like when you return, you have to know the weight.
Speaker 1: And of course people are always coming up with some
Speaker 1: type of but the thing about having the machine is,
Speaker 1: we know who you are. You have to put your
Speaker 1: card in, so if you try it and try to
Speaker 1: scale us from somebody swipe your cards. Now, it was
Speaker 1: still a big year for you last year because you
Speaker 1: got married. I'm a newly way. I got married on
Speaker 1: March sixteenth, the day the world shut down. We were like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna ride this out. We don't know it's
Speaker 1: about to happen, but we're getting married. And congrats on
Speaker 1: your daughter too. I see she's graduating at sixty daughter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she finished high school at sixteen. She's homeschooled. So I'm
Speaker 1: really an outlier. I took my kid out of schools
Speaker 1: in second grade and homeschooler, and wow, she graduated early
Speaker 1: and now she's headed to art schools. What made you
Speaker 1: do that? Because I think I think about that all
Speaker 1: the time. I always think about do I want white
Speaker 1: folks teaching my kids? You know, honestly, it's the system.
Speaker 1: What triggered me was I said, I don't want my
Speaker 1: daughter going to any school that celebrates Columbus Day because
Speaker 1: they're lying to her. And you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: our kids, their identity is taken away in these schools.
Speaker 1: I mean, I really feel like schools and even though
Speaker 1: I'm a public school graduate and all that, I feel
Speaker 1: like schools are just factories for workers. They don't really
Speaker 1: encourage entrepreneurship, independent thinking. They don't share history. And I
Speaker 1: just said, you don't let me try something different and
Speaker 1: take her out and unschooled her. And so I'm also
Speaker 1: writing an ebook about this too, because when I posted
Speaker 1: that post, it just went viral also, and everybody's asking
Speaker 1: me how can they go about homeschool And now you
Speaker 1: see everyone's home anyway because of COVID, and so parents
Speaker 1: are realizing like, okay, I can do this. But again,
Speaker 1: I'm a busy entrepreneur. She was not home every day
Speaker 1: all day. She went to co ops, you know, private
Speaker 1: teachers and tutors and programs. But she's so well rounded
Speaker 1: and I'm very grateful that I stuck with it. She's
Speaker 1: very social. Again, she went to co ops, so every
Speaker 1: day she would go with other homeschool kids. It'd be
Speaker 1: like fifty or more kids, girl scouts and camps and
Speaker 1: after school programs at YMCA. I just made sure that she,
Speaker 1: you know, wasn't that awkward at home kid that the
Speaker 1: stereotype tells us. But she learns everything. She was balancing
Speaker 1: a checkbook at six years old. She knows how to
Speaker 1: you know, the things that we don't learn in school,
Speaker 1: the things that we need to know how to function
Speaker 1: in this world. She can do those things. And I
Speaker 1: feel really um. It was a chance, you know, I
Speaker 1: was taking a risk. It could have went either way,
Speaker 1: and it worked out. We got more with doing Dixon.
Speaker 1: When we come back, Dope move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Dawn Dixon. Charlomagne. I want to ask you
Speaker 1: something about entrepreneurship. How do you how do you figure
Speaker 1: out if an idea is worth pursuing and launching. I
Speaker 1: do market research. I say, you know, can this make money?
Speaker 1: Because the point of being in Business week if you
Speaker 1: just want to do a hobby that's a hobby. Is
Speaker 1: this gonna make money? Is it scalable? How much do
Speaker 1: I have to put into it as far as money
Speaker 1: and time. I've loved being independent and being remote and traveling,
Speaker 1: So if I got to be there in person, I
Speaker 1: don't think that's for me. So it has to just
Speaker 1: really make sense. It has to be a market for
Speaker 1: the demand, and I have to be able to differentiate
Speaker 1: my product or service from everybody else's. And once I
Speaker 1: find that mix, I run with it. When it comes
Speaker 1: to investing, there's a lot of people who are like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to invest in something. How do you determine
Speaker 1: whether there's something's a good investment. So I am an
Speaker 1: angel investor myself. I've invested in fifteen companies over the
Speaker 1: past couple of years, and it goes back to just
Speaker 1: what I think about when I'm starting a business is scalable,
Speaker 1: How's it going to make money? How are they going
Speaker 1: to return my money? You know? So people sometimes think, oh, investors,
Speaker 1: that they're helping me and this is not a favor.
Speaker 1: They want it back. So if I can be sure
Speaker 1: how I'm going to get this money back. Do they
Speaker 1: have a solid founder or solid plane go to market strategy,
Speaker 1: do they have a customer base? And then then I'll
Speaker 1: invest Because it's a numbers game. You know, I put
Speaker 1: out a lot of money. It's not going to all
Speaker 1: come back, but a couple of things are gonna hit
Speaker 1: really big, and then it'll balance it out, and that's
Speaker 1: we can't be scared to let that money go. We
Speaker 1: gotta put it to work. The banks aren't going to
Speaker 1: make money for us right sitting it in the bank,
Speaker 1: So I just take my money and spread it out
Speaker 1: and see work. I always say that too, if there's
Speaker 1: too much money in the bank, I'm not doing something
Speaker 1: right because you have to have your money out working
Speaker 1: or after just sitting there making three dollars a month.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on like crowdfunding, Like when I
Speaker 1: think your crowdfund it always think it's a one time thing,
Speaker 1: but you said you constantly do it. Yeah. So after
Speaker 1: I came here and we broke the record and oversubscribe,
Speaker 1: so I did another round. So I raised a million
Speaker 1: again in twenty twenty, and that oversubscribe, so now I'm
Speaker 1: raising again. It just keeps carrying over. So we're we
Speaker 1: have active rounds open for Popcom now and then Flat
Speaker 1: Out of Hills has a round open on start Engine.
Speaker 1: So crowdfunding is a way to continue to capitalize your business.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go to banks, you don't have
Speaker 1: to go to venture capital if you don't want to.
Speaker 1: I mean, I do have a mix I have venture
Speaker 1: capital dollars and I have now three point five million
Speaker 1: from crowdfunding. When I came here that day, I had
Speaker 1: like two hundred thousand. So I mean, again, thank you
Speaker 1: for your using your platform. But as you see, since
Speaker 1: I did that, so many other people have been able
Speaker 1: to raise money. And I think it's because this platform here,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, increase awareness to people that you can
Speaker 1: invest in things outside of New York Stock Exchange, outside
Speaker 1: of the Nazadeck that are early stage companies. And you know,
Speaker 1: my friend Isaac was on here and they're killing it.
Speaker 1: You know, how do you determine if you have a company,
Speaker 1: if you want to take money from a venture capitalists?
Speaker 1: Are there times when you're willing to give up a
Speaker 1: percentage of your company? Because I know ownership is really
Speaker 1: important to us. But when do you say, Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't mind giving up twenty percent for this investment. It
Speaker 1: has to be what they're bringing to the table. If
Speaker 1: they're gonna if you give up twenty percent and they're
Speaker 1: going to get you business, they're going to help you
Speaker 1: grow your team, they're gonna give you money, it makes sense.
Speaker 1: I would never give up twenty percent of my business
Speaker 1: in one in one take. It just doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: for me. But I think you have to always weigh
Speaker 1: what are you going to get for that and what
Speaker 1: are the terms? Terms are very important. You know, people
Speaker 1: often confuse equity with control, and you always have to
Speaker 1: make sure you keep control. Even if you sell equity
Speaker 1: and you get people have shares in it, you can't
Speaker 1: give up the control where you make the ultimate decisions.
Speaker 1: So that comes in the kind of shares that you issue.
Speaker 1: So a lot of black people are scared, like I
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to take off my company. You can
Speaker 1: still have people on fifty percent of your business, but
Speaker 1: if you have majority control, like a Mark Zuckerberg, he'll
Speaker 1: never get voted out of Facebook. He has all of
Speaker 1: the control. They can't kick him out. If you build
Speaker 1: your operating agreement to where you maintain control when your shares,
Speaker 1: then you can still take money. So that's the important part,
Speaker 1: equity versus control. What if Cardi B was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I love Flat Hill and you know I'm always wearing
Speaker 1: my heels and I love these and I want you know,
Speaker 1: I want to invest, but and I'll also be an ambassador,
Speaker 1: but I want twenty percent. Would that be something you
Speaker 1: would entertain party. Yes, you can understand that. Blow it up, yeah,
Speaker 1: blow it up. So it's like if it'll turn the business.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like she said, they got something
Speaker 1: to sell, they say my name, say my name. Yes,
Speaker 1: I got something to sell, so people will buy it
Speaker 1: and it will increase the brand value. So if someone
Speaker 1: can come in your brand and increase the value of
Speaker 1: your business quickly, again having ten percent or you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of one thing versus ten percent of
Speaker 1: a big value. So if you're increasing the overall value
Speaker 1: of my business, I still don't lose. Do you ever
Speaker 1: start a company with the intent to sell it. I'm
Speaker 1: selling all of my business, okay, you know. I feel
Speaker 1: like my greater impact is creating generational wealth, being able
Speaker 1: to exit and be able to read invest in the
Speaker 1: communities into people, and I need liquid to do that,
Speaker 1: so I'm selling all of it. That's the part people
Speaker 1: don't talk about because they always want to have conversations
Speaker 1: about equity. But then when somebody sell the portion of
Speaker 1: their business, sell it. But you need the capital. You
Speaker 1: need the capital to do more things. The matter who
Speaker 1: you sell it to. It does matter who I sell
Speaker 1: it to. I definitely will sell it to someone that
Speaker 1: will continue the vision and definitely be able to represent
Speaker 1: what I've built, But at the same time, you can't
Speaker 1: control it once you give it up. What's more important
Speaker 1: to me is my now five thousand investors seeing liquidity
Speaker 1: for them. And my dream is to have the largest
Speaker 1: black wealth creation event in history, because when I exit
Speaker 1: my company, all of these people that invest it will
Speaker 1: exit along with me, and that'll be an influx of
Speaker 1: capital into the community. And that's more important to me
Speaker 1: than having a business that I'm holding onto that's worth
Speaker 1: a billion dollars but no one else is making money.
Speaker 1: How the business is qualified if you feature in pop
Speaker 1: Shop vending machine, it's a program called pop Shop Local
Speaker 1: on our website popcom dot shop and they can apply,
Speaker 1: and we're looking for retailers in twelve markets right now,
Speaker 1: and they lease it. It's five hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 1: It's we place it, We do all the work for them.
Speaker 1: And our goal is really to help the retailers that
Speaker 1: we're hurting last year to get back out there and
Speaker 1: get into new places, to get more exposure and really
Speaker 1: be a pipeline to help smaller brands expand and grow
Speaker 1: nationally internationally using our vending machines. You say you got
Speaker 1: five thousand investors, so do you get people equity in Yes,
Speaker 1: and see that's why Isaac does. And I think that's
Speaker 1: so smart, and I think that's why people support y'all
Speaker 1: so much. I think that's the difference between what y'all
Speaker 1: do as opposed to some people who just say, hey,
Speaker 1: you give me some money so I can get my
Speaker 1: business gone. Yeah, that's the key. People want something for it.
Speaker 1: Everybody is always looking out for their best interests first,
Speaker 1: so why not make it an offer they can't refuse. So, yes,
Speaker 1: we definitely give equity. But I have the control I have.
Speaker 1: I have one hundred percent of the voting shares. I
Speaker 1: have a board, so we you know, I don't abuse
Speaker 1: my power, but I have the control, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: I do monthly updates. My investors are very happy. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we're out about five thousand right now and three point
Speaker 1: five million raids and we're still raising. We're raising another
Speaker 1: two million right now. Do you put a cap on
Speaker 1: it at some point? Yes, I'm stopping at that four million,
Speaker 1: So it's at one point three million today. Last time
Speaker 1: I checked. So I'm stopping at that four million. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's important for me to open up my
Speaker 1: business for the community because, like I said, it's early
Speaker 1: stage investment. When I came here the first time, my
Speaker 1: company was worth eight million dollars. Now it's worth thirty
Speaker 1: two million. So all those people that invested then, they
Speaker 1: already are growing, they're gaining and we are only have
Speaker 1: two machines in the market. We have twenty more coming out.
Speaker 1: So if anyone understands business valuation, as your revenue grows,
Speaker 1: the value of the company increases, the value of your
Speaker 1: shares increases. The shareholders, you know, they they walk away happy.
Speaker 1: So that's my goal. Let me buy some shares before
Speaker 1: we editing. I told you that last time. You know,
Speaker 1: you would have double triple your investment by now. For
Speaker 1: how can people donate if they wounded up, not donate
Speaker 1: but invest, How can they invest? What site can they go? Definitely,
Speaker 1: so they can go to start engine dot com, Forward
Speaker 1: slash popcom to invest in the technology side, the vending
Speaker 1: machine side, and if they're interested in fashion and flat out.
Speaker 1: Flatout has a campaign to start Engine dot Com, Forward
Speaker 1: Slash flat Out. Their minimum lenimum investment for popcom is
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty in the minimum for flat out
Speaker 1: as one hundred and sixty. So easy, you know, pair
Speaker 1: of nikes, you can have some equity dollars, sixty dollars dollars.
Speaker 1: And next time you come, we're gonna have our drink
Speaker 1: fast juice and we have the coveting machine. I'm already
Speaker 1: thinking about where we're gonna put. It's gonna be amazing
Speaker 1: and we'll help you. We could put. I think hotels
Speaker 1: will love it too. Um. Hotels are letting us have
Speaker 1: free placement because they see it as an amenity. As
Speaker 1: of course, the hotel gift shops are closed, the restaurants
Speaker 1: are closed. So if anyone has like a really good
Speaker 1: juice or a good snack that you can put in
Speaker 1: a machine, hotel else need these things. Absolutely. Thank you

Speaker 1: go pre order that. She's gonna I know she's gonna
Speaker 1: come on the Breakfast Club, right, she will be on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club the date, Oh yes she is. That's
Speaker 1: all right. Well, we got rumors on the way. What
Speaker 1: we're talking about, Well, let's talk about the city girls.
Speaker 1: They were unrespectfully justin and let's talk about how much
Speaker 1: of a man spend on the first date. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into high after this interview. The bar is
Speaker 1: high after this interview. Guys, it's the Breakfast Clogal model.
Speaker 1: She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with
Speaker 1: Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, the City girls
Speaker 1: were on, respectfully Justin and one of the things that
Speaker 1: they talked about Young Miami was discussing how when she
Speaker 1: first started south Side, he took her furniture shopping. Listen
Speaker 1: to this, I ain't gonna I want a home now
Speaker 1: yards the first day, like me shopping, Give me some
Speaker 1: ones and we're not me forever. Crest me. That's the
Speaker 1: first day. And on the first date. What you cause? Well,
Speaker 1: when I first down my baby Dady, he took me
Speaker 1: to the furniture Stowe and my appurniture and this time
Speaker 1: cament like sixty thou because I had like a little townhouse.
Speaker 1: What's the problem south Side, south Side of the thousand
Speaker 1: on the first day, let's go south Side acting his wage.
Speaker 1: You can't say, let's go because everybody got to act
Speaker 1: in a wage. South Side got that kind of money.
Speaker 1: If you're a person that don't have fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: You know, you act your wage. You spend what you
Speaker 1: can spend. South Side was acting his wage. That's not.
Speaker 1: That's not a generalization for all men. Now okay, that's
Speaker 1: south Side high Now you know it's not. That's for
Speaker 1: south Side's rich, for people who got money, not not
Speaker 1: not the regular joke. So what do you think is
Speaker 1: an average amount of money you should spend on the
Speaker 1: first day? Whatever you can afford, a way you can afford.
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right? And now JT is dating little USI
Speaker 1: ver as you know. And here's what you had to
Speaker 1: say about her boot. I have a good man, like
Speaker 1: I didn't even know he was a good man. I
Speaker 1: was hi for like almost two years before you thought
Speaker 1: he wasn't before you and I have a good with
Speaker 1: me and like he bringing down he remember one? What's
Speaker 1: it son here? Leo? Don't look at my men. Don
Speaker 1: I don't know much about Leo's but I'm saying you
Speaker 1: might want to get you a leal, might want to
Speaker 1: get you a leout. They might test you at first.
Speaker 1: What does the test with a leal look like? Um? Hey,
Speaker 1: my patience, why are you smiling while are you about
Speaker 1: you really love that? Man? Yeah, I'm ka city girls.
Speaker 1: You know what I was thinking about too, Man, I
Speaker 1: was thinking about like when I lived in Columbia, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: and I had to h I bought a furniture set
Speaker 1: from this furniture store and it was a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: and I had to make and I had to make
Speaker 1: payments on it on hundred. So I'm just simply saying,
Speaker 1: everybody act their wage because a thousand dollar furntitures says
Speaker 1: I am. I feel like I feel like you shame
Speaker 1: people with regular pockets just a little bit, just to
Speaker 1: tad you know, fifty thousand, that's what it should be. No,
Speaker 1: it's not. What are you talking about. Some people make
Speaker 1: that a year. I'm just saying this to get you upset.
Speaker 1: Just calm down, Okay, my first he's really upset. Its
Speaker 1: head is shining. You know, we don't want a regular
Speaker 1: pocket ching all right now. Tianna Taylor is talking about
Speaker 1: why she retired. She was on Cam newton Sip and
Speaker 1: Smoke interview series and she was saying, and of course
Speaker 1: it was shocking to us when she said she wanted
Speaker 1: to retire because she's a really dope artist and when
Speaker 1: it comes to everything, when it comes to acting, dancing, performing,
Speaker 1: saying all of that. So here's what you had to
Speaker 1: say about why she felt like she needed to retire.
Speaker 1: I put in a lot of work. So if you
Speaker 1: feel on her and unseen, I take that serious everything
Speaker 1: that I do. So if you're my husband or I'm
Speaker 1: signed to do that. Everybody that I'm aligned which should
Speaker 1: see me, they should hear me, they should feel me.
Speaker 1: And if you don't see me, hear me or feel
Speaker 1: me's a dope for you. And I felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: the label wasn't really hearing me and seeing me. I
Speaker 1: felt underappreciated. It's not that I retired permanently. Is more like,
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't feel like I want to
Speaker 1: move another inch for a company that ain't pulling in
Speaker 1: your same direction. That's what I'm saying now. It's that
Speaker 1: good music or deaf damn are both probably both. Look
Speaker 1: I think you know at some point you have to
Speaker 1: appreciate what what what God has given you do. I
Speaker 1: feel like labels have dropped the ball on Tiana Taylor. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: it's Tiana Taylor is still a star. Tiana Taylor has
Speaker 1: a great career, she makes a great living. We know
Speaker 1: she's super talented. You know, it just it just hasn't
Speaker 1: happened yet for whatever reason. But even that sounds crazy
Speaker 1: to say it hasn't happened yet. She's achieved, she has
Speaker 1: achieved a lot more success than the average person exactly
Speaker 1: in the music business. So I want to say that
Speaker 1: at least she said she's not retired permanently. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: wonder who she's comparing herself to, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Because if you're if she's comparing herself to other people,
Speaker 1: you're comparing yourself to the Rihanna's and the Beyonce. He's like,
Speaker 1: there's only two of them. But Tiana has a great career.
Speaker 1: She does. But you know what it is that she
Speaker 1: puts out these songs and these videos that should be
Speaker 1: bigger than what they do become right like they get
Speaker 1: the buzz, but it feels like it should be and
Speaker 1: then you're like, where's the disconnect? All right? Now, now
Speaker 1: let's talk about fifty cent and Jah Rule. Of course,
Speaker 1: fifty cent has something to say about this. There was
Speaker 1: a story saying that jar Rule and his wife are
Speaker 1: being sued by the irs. Reportedly for three million dollars
Speaker 1: and that is for a tax debt that's spanning twelve
Speaker 1: years of cost. Fifty cent posted and said, you gotta
Speaker 1: pay your taxes full. He just can't. I was, and
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy, and it's sad. Every time you
Speaker 1: see something like that, you know, fifties gonna have something
Speaker 1: to say. Like you see the jar Rule story and
Speaker 1: you're like, what's fifty about to say? I'll be feeling
Speaker 1: fifty because fifties a cancer like me and something had
Speaker 1: fifty triggers yesterday. I don't know what fifty saw yesterday
Speaker 1: that had him thinking of f murder ink, but he
Speaker 1: posted about Ja Rule and EARV Gotti yesterday. Something triggered him.
Speaker 1: I'm not the same way. You know, you just be
Speaker 1: cooling out and then all of a sudden you just
Speaker 1: see something from one of your enemy and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: then you know, you just feel like jabbing a little bit.
Speaker 1: Who you jab at? Bubble? I don't have no enemies.
Speaker 1: Well I have enemies. They don't like me. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: now let's talk about every single hour. DJ Khalid, you know,
Speaker 1: his album Khalid Khalid is out today and in a
Speaker 1: tribute to the collaboration with jay Z and Nas. Sorry
Speaker 1: not Sorry. Jay Z went on title and did a
Speaker 1: playlist filled with his favorite NAS songs as a salute
Speaker 1: to NAS. So that's pretty dope, and we're about to
Speaker 1: play that now. This this is a new a component
Speaker 1: of the heart stimulus package for chal never heard the
Speaker 1: angel stories into the song. This is new. I like
Speaker 1: it because it sounds organic. I like it. It is
Speaker 1: a it actually is organic. I decided to do it
Speaker 1: this morning. Come on it stop it is. We're playing
Speaker 1: them every hour, and there are stories that go with
Speaker 1: some of the songs we're playing. So I figured it
Speaker 1: just makes sense. Let's get it on. It's Khalid's featuring
Speaker 1: Nas and jay Z off that album. You could stream
Speaker 1: it right now. We're gonna play top of the album
Speaker 1: and then and then Charlotage, who are giving that donkey
Speaker 1: you we need South Carolina said that Tim Scott and
Speaker 1: Madam Vice President Kamala Harris to come to the front
Speaker 1: of the congregation. We like to have a world war Harris.
Speaker 1: Really yes, indeed, all right, anybody could get it up here.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast slogal morning, So Breakfast Club, your morning's
Speaker 1: will never be the same Angela here and the General

Speaker 1: I know Charlotmagny got grow out funny. You gotta say
Speaker 1: something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I'm needing.
Speaker 1: He's getting that donkey don't that, don't don't don't, don't
Speaker 1: don't donkey other day right there the breakfast club bitches,
Speaker 1: you can call me the donkey of the day, but
Speaker 1: like well, donkey today for Friday, April thirty, off goes
Speaker 1: the South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and Miam Madam Vice
Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris. Let the record show I know both
Speaker 1: these individuals. I actually enjoy both these individuals. I've done
Speaker 1: a couple of events with Tim Scott, sat up in
Speaker 1: his office on Capitol Hill, chopping it up with him.
Speaker 1: We've done lunch in at eight for three, Charleston dropping
Speaker 1: a Clues, bond Ford aight for three. Okay, I've done.
Speaker 1: I did several events with Vice President Harris when she
Speaker 1: was running for president. I've been with Vice President Harris
Speaker 1: and Goose Creek, South Carolina, assisted her and unveiling her
Speaker 1: mental health plan. I've been with her at South Calina
Speaker 1: State quite a few places. Okay. I've had on air,
Speaker 1: off air conversations with both of them. I actually would
Speaker 1: call both of them homies. Okay. I enjoy both of them.
Speaker 1: Don't agree with all their politics, but as humans, the
Speaker 1: exchanges of energy I've had with them, I liked them,
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm so disappointed there, I say, disgusted
Speaker 1: with both of them on this fine Friday morning. Now
Speaker 1: to other night, President Joe Biden delivered his first address
Speaker 1: before a joint session of Congress. After that was over
Speaker 1: sended attempt, Scott, the only black person in the Senate,
Speaker 1: gave a rebuttal on behalf of the GOP and he
Speaker 1: got put on the social media skewer. I mean they
Speaker 1: grilled and sauteed his ass rightfully. So for these comments
Speaker 1: he made about racing America. Listening, I get called uncle
Speaker 1: Tom and the inn word by progressives, by liberals. Believe me,
Speaker 1: I know firsthand our healing is not finished. A hundred
Speaker 1: years ago, kids in classrooms were taught the color of
Speaker 1: their skin was their most important characteristic, and if they
Speaker 1: looked a certain way, they were inferior. Today, shoes are
Speaker 1: being taught that the color of their skin defines them again,
Speaker 1: and if they look a certain way, they're an oppressor.
Speaker 1: From colleges, to corporations to our culture, people are making
Speaker 1: money and gaining power by pretending we haven't made any
Speaker 1: progress at all. Hear me. Clearly, America is not a
Speaker 1: racist country. I disagree. Okay, but here's the interesting thing
Speaker 1: about Tim Scott's rebuttle. Clearly Tim didn't get ahold of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's speech beforehand, because Biden didn't really focus on
Speaker 1: a race. He didn't say America was a racist country.
Speaker 1: I mean, Biden is the same person that whenever there
Speaker 1: is blatant racism, he says, this is not America. I mean,
Speaker 1: but he didn't really focus on racing his speech. About
Speaker 1: an hour and some change into his speech, he spoke
Speaker 1: briefly about the death of George Floyd and how he
Speaker 1: wanted to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the people
Speaker 1: they served. And Biden did say he wants to root
Speaker 1: out systemic racism and our criminal justice system. But that's
Speaker 1: about it. So for Tim Scott to take his ass
Speaker 1: on TV and tell all these white people that America
Speaker 1: is not a racist country is a slap in the
Speaker 1: face to all of us in the lower cast system. Tim,
Speaker 1: your West African ancestants who came through gapsins Wolf and Chawton,
Speaker 1: South Carolina are rolling over in their shallow graves. Tim
Speaker 1: Scott said, kids are being taught that the color of
Speaker 1: their skin defines them. Again, Tim, when did it stop? Okay,
Speaker 1: when has there been a time in America when people
Speaker 1: have not been defined by the color of their skin? Tim,
Speaker 1: you said, progressives call you the N word. You know
Speaker 1: how they call you the N word for no other
Speaker 1: reason than the color of your skin. I mean, it
Speaker 1: almost feels like discussing slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, mass incarceration,
Speaker 1: the War on drugs, all the data and research that
Speaker 1: have extensively documented the ways in which black people are underrepresented,
Speaker 1: and everything that matters and overrepresented, and everything that's wrong
Speaker 1: are the extensive data that documents the different treatment blacks experience,
Speaker 1: you know, than white's. You know, it feels like even
Speaker 1: saying that it's silly because you know that, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: racial disparities in America and wealth, education, employment, homeownership, healthcare, incarceration,
Speaker 1: and it's all because of America's original racist sin, slavery.
Speaker 1: But Tim, you know that you're just on TV trying
Speaker 1: to appease Republican white voters. And that is exactly what
Speaker 1: our Madam Vice President Kamala Harris did yesterday too when
Speaker 1: she said virtually the same thing when she was asked
Speaker 1: about Tim Scott's comments on Good Morning America. Listen, first
Speaker 1: of all, no, I don't think America is a racist country,
Speaker 1: but we also do have to speak truth about the
Speaker 1: history of racism in our country and its existence today.
Speaker 1: And I applaud the President for always having the ability
Speaker 1: and the courage, frankly, to speak the truth about it.
Speaker 1: He spoke what we know from the intelligence community, one
Speaker 1: of the greatest threats to our national security is domestic
Speaker 1: terrorism manifested by white supremacist and so these are issues
Speaker 1: that we must confront and it does not help to
Speaker 1: heal our country, to unify us as a people, to
Speaker 1: ignore the realities of that. And the idea is that
Speaker 1: we want to unify the country, but not without speaking
Speaker 1: truth and requiring accountability as appropriate. Well, if you speak
Speaker 1: in truth, if you can't start off by seeing America
Speaker 1: is not a racist country, Vice President Harris. In my mind,
Speaker 1: I'm like, who on Vice President Harris is comms team
Speaker 1: is asleep at the will. I mean, you saw Tim
Speaker 1: Scott get barbecued for those same comments on social media.
Speaker 1: So if the VP, who is a woman of color,
Speaker 1: is doing interviews the next day, you know she's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be asked about this. The one thing a comms
Speaker 1: team should have prepped her on is VP Harris, whatever
Speaker 1: you do, don't say America is not a racist country.
Speaker 1: But I can't even really blame the comms team for this,
Speaker 1: because no black person, no person of color, who is
Speaker 1: not a tool for white supremacy, should fail this question.
Speaker 1: When you black, the answer too, is America a racist country?
Speaker 1: Should be one win, be one answer, and you should
Speaker 1: channel your inner little John when you say it. That's it.
Speaker 1: And this is what discussed me about this I've had
Speaker 1: conversations with Vice President Harris. Oh not Vice President Harris,
Speaker 1: Senator Harris and Tim Scott. They both know systemic racism exists. Okay,
Speaker 1: they both know America is a racist country, and they
Speaker 1: are choosing not to speak truth to power because they
Speaker 1: are playing politics. Vice President of Harris, I know you're
Speaker 1: thinking about the future, but you're trying to appease a
Speaker 1: bunch of white voters who would never vote for you anyway.
Speaker 1: I will never understand why Democrats continue to seek to
Speaker 1: support a group of people who would rather vote to
Speaker 1: keep their hierarchy in the cast system than to vote
Speaker 1: for what's right. Okay, trust me, Democrats, there are enough
Speaker 1: good white people in this country who are not racist,
Speaker 1: who are not biggest, who are not white nationalists, who
Speaker 1: will support y'all in every election. And if you do
Speaker 1: right by the oppressed and marginalized and stop voting suppression,
Speaker 1: you will always have a big enough take to win elections. Okay.
Speaker 1: Did we not prove that with President Barack Obama? Did
Speaker 1: we not prove that with President Joe Biden. These comments
Speaker 1: that America is not a racist country make zero sense
Speaker 1: because both you and Tim, out of one side of
Speaker 1: your mouth say America is not a racist country. But then, Tim,
Speaker 1: you say this in twenty fifteen, after the shooting of
Speaker 1: Walter Scott, I wrote a bill to fund body cameras.
Speaker 1: Last year, after the deaths of Brianna Taylor and George Floyd,
Speaker 1: I built an even bigger police reform proposal, but my
Speaker 1: Democratic colleagues blocked it. Okay, Tim, why is your police
Speaker 1: reform named after a black person, Walter Scott? Why did
Speaker 1: name to other black people? You know in your speech
Speaker 1: it's because black people are three times more likely than
Speaker 1: white people to be killed by police in some places
Speaker 1: in this country. Five times, Kamala, you said America is
Speaker 1: not a racist country, but then you're going to say,
Speaker 1: we have to explain the history of racism in this country. Listen,
Speaker 1: because I know both of y'all stop the bs. Okay,
Speaker 1: now is not the time for politics. People are dying.
Speaker 1: Tell the truth. Shame the white devil. I repeat the
Speaker 1: Zora Neil Hurston quote all the time because it's true.
Speaker 1: If you're silent about your pain, they will kill you
Speaker 1: and say you enjoyed it. Okay, Kamala, After Tim's rebuttal,
Speaker 1: you had an opportunity to be load load about the
Speaker 1: pain black people are currently feeling and have felt in
Speaker 1: this country. But you chose to be silent. Okay, you
Speaker 1: could have said everything you said after saying America is
Speaker 1: not a racist country, and that would have been supersilid.
Speaker 1: But when you say America is not a racist country,
Speaker 1: you make everything else null and void after that. Here's
Speaker 1: the moral of the story. The rhetoric y'all spewed this
Speaker 1: week has been getting us killed for years. This is
Speaker 1: why white folks think we'll be making stuff up in
Speaker 1: regards the racism. This is why some white folks don't
Speaker 1: think systemic racism is real because our leaders in the
Speaker 1: highest seats in the land are telling them things like
Speaker 1: America is not a racist country. Nobody has to fix anything.
Speaker 1: If our leaders are telling them it's not broken. If
Speaker 1: America is not a racist country, then what are we
Speaker 1: complaining about? What are we fighting to change? If America
Speaker 1: is not a racist country, And if America is not
Speaker 1: a racist country, then why are all these negative things
Speaker 1: disproportionately happening to black people? Find out next time on
Speaker 1: Dragon Harvey. Please give standard to Tim Scott and Vice
Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris. The biggest he hall and the liberal hypocrisy.
Speaker 1: It is deafening because you have to keep the same
Speaker 1: energy from Stintar to Tim Scott that you keep a
Speaker 1: vice president Kamala Harris. You have to they said the
Speaker 1: same thing. All right, well, thank you for that donkey
Speaker 1: of the day. Now when we come back the city, girls,
Speaker 1: they had some interesting to some things to say about
Speaker 1: guys with small packages. Let's hear and you finally, really
Speaker 1: he isn't packing the way you thought he was. He
Speaker 1: loved you here, good, He really just got the shrimp
Speaker 1: rowing them back. Good lawyer, just not man need to
Speaker 1: be sexually it's the first day. No, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: been environing. He treating like a spoiling might have put

Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one on five one, what do
Speaker 1: you do if you're the person that you're talking to
Speaker 1: their package is too small? Let's start with you. Ye um, Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I wouldn't be with somebody if I
Speaker 1: didn't want to write. So if if they were small,
Speaker 1: that means I made a decision to make that person
Speaker 1: my man. And if we're together, I guess I gotta
Speaker 1: deal with it. He's got to be able to do
Speaker 1: other things, you know, And there's certain positions you can
Speaker 1: get into where you can actually make it more pleasurable
Speaker 1: for yourself. Because I have, at one point in my
Speaker 1: life dated somebody who was really small and it didn't last,
Speaker 1: but I didn't cheat. M what about you, Drama? And
Speaker 1: so you would kind of be really mad if somebody

Speaker 1: I do find that men with mother penises like they
Speaker 1: kind of wait to have sex with you. They want
Speaker 1: to really befriend you first and like be real cool,
Speaker 1: and then that way you feel like a little bit
Speaker 1: more empathetic. Well, let the record show this is your
Speaker 1: uncle Charlotte talking. I think this is so unfair. See,
Speaker 1: men can't do anything about having a small penis. You know,
Speaker 1: you can get Magna r X pills or whatever whatever
Speaker 1: penis enhancement pills you can get. You can do scratching exercises,
Speaker 1: but you can't do anything about the size of your penis. Okay.
Speaker 1: Women can go out and get enhancements to make themselves bigger.
Speaker 1: Guys cannot. Also simply, don't marry me if you don't
Speaker 1: like the size of my penis. If if the size
Speaker 1: of my penis is that much of a deal breaker
Speaker 1: where you're going to go out and do something that's

Speaker 1: but we'll be back with that on the room of
Speaker 1: a play good. It's gracious. The breakfast club going on it?
Speaker 1: The breakfast club. Oh god, it's a romp all right now.
Speaker 1: Sierra and Russell Wilson have surprised some students in Seattle.
Speaker 1: They donated more than thirty five thousand dollars so that
Speaker 1: each student can start with forty dollars and their own
Speaker 1: personal savings account. And that's from middle school students. I
Speaker 1: think that's really dope because they've done all these studies
Speaker 1: right the show that when kids have bank accounts at
Speaker 1: an early age, it means that they'll be end up
Speaker 1: being better with money as they get older. Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: love at its dope. It's Financial Literacy Month, and Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson said, financial literacy and building wealth is so important.
Speaker 1: Sierra and I really wanted to talk to you all
Speaker 1: because we didn't come from much, and we had big
Speaker 1: visions and we had big goals and big dreams. So amazing.
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk about the twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: Billboard Music Award nominees and guests. Who is leading all
Speaker 1: the finalists in these awards? That would be The Weekend.
Speaker 1: So he's a finalist in sixteen different categories, followed by
Speaker 1: the Base Baby. He has eleven nominations. And yeah, that's why,
Speaker 1: that's that's why artists should never care about any awards
Speaker 1: shows validation, salute to the Weekend. Remember the Grammy snub
Speaker 1: the Weekend, which I was gonna say, yeah, but we
Speaker 1: all thought that was crazy because we know that the
Speaker 1: Weekend should have gotten a bunch of bunch of awards.
Speaker 1: But look at Billboard. They got it right. So you
Speaker 1: shouldn't put stock in any of that stuff. Just create. Man,
Speaker 1: that's it all right. So what's the top rap album? Okay,
Speaker 1: if you have to choose the Baby, blame it on
Speaker 1: Baby Juice, World Legends, Never Die, Little Baby My Turn,
Speaker 1: Little Usie verd Eternal or Take and pop Smoke, Shoot
Speaker 1: for the Stars, Aimed for the Moon, Little Baby My Turn.
Speaker 1: I think Pop Smoke, you're you're a New York bias
Speaker 1: and you're just being ridiculous. Little Baby in My Turn?
Speaker 1: How many records pop Smoke on the charts? This ship,
Speaker 1: with all the records that he did, he had about
Speaker 1: at least five or six number one records, four or five, No,
Speaker 1: five or six number one? I said, four or five
Speaker 1: number one records? Have four or five? Yeah, the one
Speaker 1: with the one with the baby, A little Baby, I
Speaker 1: believe little babying that that was the number one, Yes,
Speaker 1: that was. It was a number one record. I know
Speaker 1: the number one. And there was another one, the girl record,
Speaker 1: I think with TJ. I don't know, but I'm still
Speaker 1: going on a Little Baby My Turn A little it
Speaker 1: was incredible. I think the little Baby, Little Babies My
Speaker 1: Turn was twenty twenty. Listen, you know My Turn was
Speaker 1: twenty twenties most popular album of any musical genre period. Movid,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift and Everybody sold more Everybody, but forget that.
Speaker 1: The record was just better. I'm going a Little Baby,
Speaker 1: my Turn. We'll see. Yes, of course, I listen to
Speaker 1: popible album. You think pole album is better a little Baby.
Speaker 1: This is all subjective for you all. You guys have
Speaker 1: different opinions, so it's fine. Okay, they all got nominated,
Speaker 1: so they're all worthy of winning. It's all a matter
Speaker 1: of opinion too. By the way, all right, now, let's
Speaker 1: talk about Shack. He was on the All the Smoke podcast,
Speaker 1: and amongst the things that he spoke about was joining
Speaker 1: in Miami Heat with Dwayne Wade. Here's what he said.
Speaker 1: When I got to d Wade, I was like, I
Speaker 1: know you heard all the stories. Sure the team. Well,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have did in LA now that I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about it, so we ain't have any problem. You're the man,
Speaker 1: You're the CEO. I'll be the consultant. I didn't even
Speaker 1: know who he was, so while we're in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: I'm watching him go at Baron Davis I'm like, who
Speaker 1: is this? So then when the Lakers talking about playing
Speaker 1: with me, I was like, I know where I want
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, I want to go play with him.
Speaker 1: So as soon as we got to the first day,
Speaker 1: I said, look, man, you heard this, You heard that
Speaker 1: me and you ain't gonna have no problem. You're the
Speaker 1: man now. He also talked about learning about Kobe passing,
Speaker 1: and here's what I had to say about that. One
Speaker 1: damn down stairs working out with my youngest son, Shaquiera,
Speaker 1: and one of my other son comes in in the gyman.
Speaker 1: He's crying, so I'm like, my mom, okay, your mom, okay,
Speaker 1: my kids okay, And then I see the Kobe thing.
Speaker 1: So now I'm like, it got to be a hoax.
Speaker 1: And then the coach just kept coming in and then
Speaker 1: you go watch TV and just hit it put me in.
Speaker 1: I should have mowed. I should have spent more time
Speaker 1: with my sister. I should have reached out the young fellow.
Speaker 1: I should have just called to just check on, and
Speaker 1: you know, things like that you can never get back. Listen.
Speaker 1: I love the All the Smoke podcast. I'm not being
Speaker 1: biased because they're on the Black Effect. I heart radio
Speaker 1: podcast network. I loved them before. They get some great
Speaker 1: conversations out of people. And it's interesting that he said
Speaker 1: he wished he would have said that to Kobe as
Speaker 1: far as like, this is your team, this is your CEO.
Speaker 1: Like I wonder what made him. I wonder what made
Speaker 1: him get to Miami and realize he had to check
Speaker 1: his ego, Like, I wonder why he felt to do
Speaker 1: that to Dwayne Wade but not not Kobe at the time.
Speaker 1: That's what I would want to know, all right. Well,
Speaker 1: if you listen to the fold episode, you can also
Speaker 1: hear him talk about his top five rappers, top five
Speaker 1: basketball players, and top five at dinner guests. I'm ana
Speaker 1: like yee and that is your rumor report, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you, miss Yea. Also, I want to say pop
Speaker 1: Smoke has the longest running number one on top R
Speaker 1: and B and Hip Hop albums charts nineteen ninety Bro
Speaker 1: Little Baby, Little Baby had the most popular album of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty of any musical genre. You know how big
Speaker 1: that is in a year when Taylor Swift came out.
Speaker 1: He has the longest running number one since nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety, the long number one R and B and
Speaker 1: you guys, one last thing before we get out of this.
Speaker 1: Shout out to DJ khalid As promises new album is Alice,
Speaker 1: and I make sure you check out that new video
Speaker 1: for his single Sorry Not Sorry, featuring Nuys James and
Speaker 1: jay Z. And I don't know who's right or wrong,
Speaker 1: but Billboard says Pop Smoke has zero number one hits
Speaker 1: and one top ten hit. Billboard dot Com says, see,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I love both their albums and
Speaker 1: I'll be happy for either one of those who, guys win.
Speaker 1: So shout to Pop Well, rest in peace, Pop Smoker,
Speaker 1: shout the little Baby. All right, well let's get into
Speaker 1: the mix. It's the breakfast Club, Go Morning Now. In
Speaker 1: case you missed it, last night, Mountain Dew announced the
Speaker 1: winners of the Real Change Opportunity Fun Pitch Competition Now.
Speaker 1: It's a competition designed to give a platform to up
Speaker 1: and coming black entrepreneurs in an effort to discover, challenge,
Speaker 1: and uplift this next generation of black innovators that Mountain
Speaker 1: Dew believes entrepreneurs are the keys to building up black
Speaker 1: owned businesses and shrinking the historic wealth gap. Mountain Dew
Speaker 1: partner with HBCUs across the country to create the Real
Speaker 1: Change Opportunity Fund pitch competition focused on providing resources, programming,
Speaker 1: and funding for black entrepreneurs. Now I had the pleasure
Speaker 1: of serving on the panel and hearing these pitches. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited to introduce Jeff, Josh, and Fammy, who were
Speaker 1: announced as the grand prize winners last night with their
Speaker 1: business Event No Air. So congratulations fellas, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for you, guys. I was. I really loved
Speaker 1: your pitch and I believe in your product. Jeff, why
Speaker 1: why event No Air? Man? You know, we've been doing
Speaker 1: events over fifteen years. Josh was doing Howard's home coming.
Speaker 1: I was in Chicago bis a law school at DC,
Speaker 1: and we saw it was over fifty billion dollars market
Speaker 1: event ticketing industry. Now, with us doing events, we also
Speaker 1: realized we didn't own anything in that value chain from
Speaker 1: the clubs, the brands that we were helping make millions
Speaker 1: of dollars. And so one year we hosted over seventy
Speaker 1: five events and we paid a popular event taking platform
Speaker 1: over fifty thousand dollars they collected in ticket fees, and
Speaker 1: we didn't where that money went. We didn't get any
Speaker 1: support from them, and so we just knew it was
Speaker 1: a better way and that we had to launch a
Speaker 1: ticketing platform that gave back to our community and couple
Speaker 1: of dollars within our community. So we're very big on
Speaker 1: in attention, on point business with black vendors, black brands,
Speaker 1: and we started to hire an engineer and build a
Speaker 1: ven war from scratch. So since then, we've parted over
Speaker 1: eight hundred of partners and organizations such Black Alumni, ball
Speaker 1: Jack and Jail by Bright, Lifestyle Brand and all all
Speaker 1: individuals who were able to recycle ticket fees back to
Speaker 1: and keep that money within the community. So that was
Speaker 1: really important to us. No, Josh, how did you experience
Speaker 1: at Howard shape you went to the men that you
Speaker 1: are today and what does HBCU mean to to entrepreneurs
Speaker 1: and people like yourself? Well, Ivy, I mean, for one,
Speaker 1: it just reconfirmed that, you know, black people, we're not
Speaker 1: a monolith. For me, you know, my time at Howard
Speaker 1: it was probably the most diverse experience that I've ever
Speaker 1: been in coming from Chicago, especially the South Side, we
Speaker 1: don't really see all the positive images that we would
Speaker 1: like to, especially in the media and even in the street.
Speaker 1: So just being at Howard. It was it was just
Speaker 1: black excellence at every level. I mean I was at
Speaker 1: Howard when Chadwick was there, I got to interact with Diddy.
Speaker 1: I mean, Thirdgood Marshall went to Howard. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you know from from your time at Hampton. But
Speaker 1: ultimately it was just a huge, huge confidence boost for me.
Speaker 1: And it also proved that we do how the talent
Speaker 1: despite what Wall Street may think. You know, we read
Speaker 1: the headlines and we see that CEOs are saying, well,
Speaker 1: we want to hire black folks, but where's the black talent.
Speaker 1: So ultimately it taught me to give back, but also
Speaker 1: tonother settle and uh, you know that excellence, the leadership,
Speaker 1: the service, you know, those are the core values that
Speaker 1: I learned at Howard. All Right, the FEMI, what do
Speaker 1: you think about a vetting the war that made it
Speaker 1: stand out from hundreds of submissions? I mean, you guys
Speaker 1: went against some of the some some great companies, but
Speaker 1: your companies, you know, tested the time. So what do
Speaker 1: you think the reason was? I think the unique advantage
Speaker 1: that Van Noir has that we're able to generate revenue
Speaker 1: via ticket fees and repurpose a portion of those ticket
Speaker 1: fees and invest directly into the Black community, whether it's
Speaker 1: supporting black organizations, black nonprofits, black entrepreneurs, and black causes.
Speaker 1: So vnor is not just a ticketing platform or a
Speaker 1: tech platform, and two means for us to build up
Speaker 1: our communities and support our communities and organizations. Then let
Speaker 1: me ask you what did this competition mean for you guys?
Speaker 1: And how was the process? Man? So it was over
Speaker 1: two hundred startups that Black startups that were a part
Speaker 1: of this competition. So we got a chance to hear
Speaker 1: from some amazing startups and just confirmed for us just
Speaker 1: a power and talent and influence within our community. So
Speaker 1: we had multiple pitch rounds, We had a chance to
Speaker 1: pitch in front of yourself, a lot of of anthony,
Speaker 1: more of it from blavity and others who really challenge us,
Speaker 1: you know, ask us hard hitting questions, but also kind
Speaker 1: of let us know that we had a sustainable idea.
Speaker 1: You know, we had traction and we have an idea
Speaker 1: and company that can really have an impact on a
Speaker 1: Black community. So you may or may not know, but
Speaker 1: you know, the Black dollars states within the Black community
Speaker 1: for about six hours compared to twenty eight days with
Speaker 1: some communities. So we know that if we're able to
Speaker 1: just help contribute by keeping that dollar within the community
Speaker 1: for a couple more hours, a couple more days, we
Speaker 1: have a solution is going to have some great impact.
Speaker 1: So we want to thank Mountain do Real Change the
Speaker 1: Opportunity Fund for the opportunity we know. But thus us
Speaker 1: being around for five years, if this is a marathon.
Speaker 1: We've talked to a lot of investors and black founders
Speaker 1: tend to be over advised and underfunded, and for us
Speaker 1: to have opportunity to be able to get resources to
Speaker 1: build our hard technology is amazing and so it's confirms
Speaker 1: for us our mission which is to recycle a million
Speaker 1: dollars back in to organizations annually within our community. Now
Speaker 1: now that you guys have won, guys got some money,
Speaker 1: some bread, some some some green. Now now what's next?
Speaker 1: Where does Eventnall go from here? Um? I think one
Speaker 1: of our next steps will be to scale nationally. The
Speaker 1: plan forward immediately is to build partnerships and go on
Speaker 1: a city to city tour with hosting a different couple
Speaker 1: different event organizers and building brand partnerships and also scaling
Speaker 1: and internationally. We have plans to expand to Africa and
Speaker 1: other black communities in diaspora, and in addition to that,
Speaker 1: we are building on our third iteration of the platform
Speaker 1: to kind of accommodate the influx of new event organizers
Speaker 1: that we're going to be having on our platform. Definitely
Speaker 1: depty so we're seeing is as the vaccines are wrong,
Speaker 1: gay cities are opening up, there's going to be an
Speaker 1: influx of events, and we just want to be prepared
Speaker 1: to be the premier central marketplace for black events. So
Speaker 1: a lot of the certain things going on. We're speaking

Speaker 1: entertain just anything. And once you realize the power of
Speaker 1: your presence, you won't be just anywhere. What up, Y'allice,
Speaker 1: dj MV And we're back and we're kicking it with
Speaker 1: Mountain Dewing. We're talking about their Real Change Opportunity Fund. Now,
Speaker 1: the real Change Opportunity Fund is uplifting Black entrepreneurs. And
Speaker 1: here we have our second place winner, Candice black Nole.
Speaker 1: Did I say your name right? Yes? Well, congratulations you
Speaker 1: created a business called Gabba. Yes. Now you're from Morehouse
Speaker 1: School of Medicine, so explain to us what Gabba is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely so. Gabba is a career development platform and community
Speaker 1: that helps match students that are aspiring to health careers
Speaker 1: to study tools and mentors, tutors and coaches. The idea
Speaker 1: is to combat the physician shortage by increasing the pool
Speaker 1: of diverse candidates that are ready to matriculate successfully. Now,
Speaker 1: what was your inspiration for GABBA. You must have been
Speaker 1: studying them and like, I need to help somebody, Please
Speaker 1: help me. What was your inspiration point? That's actually exactly it.
Speaker 1: So I'm a first generation medical student and I had
Speaker 1: to navigate that whole process myself. And I know this
Speaker 1: through my own experience and figuring out solutions to my
Speaker 1: own problem that I wasn't the only one. I looked
Speaker 1: around and there were mostly minorities, women, non traditional students
Speaker 1: that were having the same challenge, and I thought that
Speaker 1: was unfortunate that we're missing out on all of this
Speaker 1: talent that could potentially be going into our health systems
Speaker 1: and having an impact, and all we need is a
Speaker 1: better support mechanism, and so we decided to create GAPA. Now,
Speaker 1: how difficult is it to get into the health care
Speaker 1: I guess business or yeah, how difficult it is with
Speaker 1: testing because you don't necessarily think about it unless you're
Speaker 1: actually in that field. So how difficult is it? Extremely?
Speaker 1: So the statistic now is that anywhere between fifty two
Speaker 1: and sixty seven percent of students that start off coming
Speaker 1: from high school ready to go into these pipeline programs
Speaker 1: actually don't make it. Somewhere in the neighborhood of one
Speaker 1: percent of students making into medical school. But that's not
Speaker 1: accounting for the difference of students that don't make it
Speaker 1: into nursing programs, PA programs and all of that. So
Speaker 1: it's extremely competitive, and if you have maybe a diverse
Speaker 1: background where you're already at a disadvantage, it's even harder
Speaker 1: to make those connections and get access to those tools
Speaker 1: that will help you be successful. Now with your business,
Speaker 1: your business stood out, I mean compared to hundreds of submissions.
Speaker 1: Why do you think your business stood out between I
Speaker 1: mean so many different people, and yeah, Wells was one
Speaker 1: of the ones that people said, No, I like this,
Speaker 1: I think this can work. I think this can change
Speaker 1: our community, which is what we wanted to do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's very easy to relate to wanting and
Speaker 1: meeting connections to get to that next level. Everyone has
Speaker 1: that experience, whether you're in medical school or aspiring to
Speaker 1: a medical career or not. So the story of a
Speaker 1: company is very relatable. And I think that we already
Speaker 1: are talking about how the educational system is not really
Speaker 1: well equipped to support our diverse candidates, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of movements to really change that. And Gabba fits
Speaker 1: in very perfectly with that change in the sense that
Speaker 1: we're really creating an ecosystem of support and empowerment for
Speaker 1: our learners which is going to help them be successful
Speaker 1: over the long term. So I think the story is
Speaker 1: something people resonate with, and certainly the impact that we
Speaker 1: could have its definitely something everyone looks forward to. Now,
Speaker 1: what made you jump into this competition? What said? You
Speaker 1: know what? This is something for me? Yeah? One, it's
Speaker 1: the real Change Opportunity Fund, and so who's what better
Speaker 1: way to change anything than through education, through empowering our
Speaker 1: young learners. So the messaging and the mission of the
Speaker 1: competition really resonated with me. And then, of course, as
Speaker 1: an underrepresented founder, a female founder, it is tough to
Speaker 1: find capital for your business. So having an opportunity to compete,
Speaker 1: to share Gabba with a larger audience and potentially would
Speaker 1: win capital that will help us get to those next milestones,
Speaker 1: that was an amazing opportunity that I just couldn't pass up.
Speaker 1: So now that you wanted to win us and you're
Speaker 1: getting this money, what's next? What are you thinking about?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with the money? What are
Speaker 1: you thinking? We are already doing the planning. So we
Speaker 1: just hired a new developer and a new designer. We
Speaker 1: are doing quite a bit of new design improvements based
Speaker 1: on what our customers and our users have told us.
Speaker 1: We're working to build those recruitment dashboards that our institutional
Speaker 1: partners are really excited about getting. So we're already in
Speaker 1: the works and doing those development hours and doing that
Speaker 1: marketing that will take us to the next level. Bro,
Speaker 1: can this congratulations? I will success with Gabba and I
Speaker 1: can't wait to tell the world about it because the
Speaker 1: world needs to know about this because if I had
Speaker 1: anything like this when I was in business management school,
Speaker 1: the marketing when I was in college, it would have
Speaker 1: helped me out a lot. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Glad to be here now. If
Speaker 1: you have more information about anybody that we speak to,
