Y'all need to know something about the history of black people and country music, and she's here to tell you all about it this morning. Alright, and we got front page news next, so don't move the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's
Starting point is 00:04:27 dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news now john morant was in court yesterday and the judge ruled that he was in uh he was raised it says he was fairly raised self-defense meaning meaning, you know, he was on trial for allegedly punching somebody in the face. And what happened was the judge said it wasn't an assault. It was self-defense. According to court records, Morant invited then 17-year-old Joshua Holloway and several other players to his family's home in July 2022 to play a series of pickup games. After Morant repeatedly scored on Holloway, he allegedly refused to check the ball, then threw it at Morant's face.
Starting point is 00:05:10 According to court documents, Morant questioned the team, pulled up his shorts and squared up with Morant, then Morant hit him. This week, a judge ruled Morant is protected by the state's self-defense laws. That doesn't mean the lawsuit goes away, though, just that it's an uphill battle for Holloway's legal team. Nothing wrong with that. See, I didn't know those details. You know, somebody, you know, pull up
Starting point is 00:05:31 their shorts and square up. That means that they might be about to do something to you so you need to defend yourself. And I don't care how old they are. You think a 17-year-old can't hurt you. Oh, absolutely. Could you imagine telling that to the judge? You know, because you've got to explain to the judge what pulling up the shorts means if he's not culturally culturally no no no that's culture all over what are you talking about pulling up your shorts pulling up your shorts
Starting point is 00:05:53 pulling up your pants getting ready to fight yes that ain't just a black thing what are you talking about that's what people do when they about to fight don't you mean it's a coach i just say black thing but you know what coach what other culture you talking about? Oh, you're Dominican. Never mind. You're right. My fault. Now, also, Southwest Jet makes an emergency landing after an engine cover falls off. Now, the plane, which was a Boeing 737-800, returned safely, but there's mad videos out there where you can actually see the engine cover flying off the plane, which pushes more to people as saying that Boeing might not be putting these planes together right. Already under unprecedented scrutiny, Boeing is tonight facing new allegations.
Starting point is 00:06:31 The FAA tells NBC News it's investigating new whistleblower claims, first disclosed by the New York Times, made by a Boeing quality engineer who warns the 787 Dreamliner's fuselage was improperly fastened together. In a letter to the FAA, his attorney writes it is likely to cause premature fatigue failure over time in two major airplane joints. That could cause the plane to break apart after many thousands of flights. He is alleging that Boeing knowingly took a series of manufacturing shortcuts in the construction of the 787. People with common sense
Starting point is 00:07:12 are going to say clearly somebody at Boeing isn't doing something right. Seems to me like they're trying to get things done fast and cheap. I reported this, remember? About the Boeing. They've been doing this for years and years. Yeah. People with common sense are going to see that they're clearly trying to do things years. Yeah, people with common sense are going to see that they're clearly trying to do things
Starting point is 00:07:26 fast and cheap. People without common sense are going to blame it on DEI. And lastly, this is something that's going down in Newark, but they're saying that this could be affected
Starting point is 00:07:35 across the country. Mayor Ras Baraka and public safety director announced that beginning Friday that they're going to have curfews for kids. If you're under 18 years old and you have to be 100 yards from your house, and this is between 11 p.m. and 5.30 a.m.,
Starting point is 00:07:52 this is because they are scared of the rise of violence, so they're making kids stay home unless you're with a parent or you have to go to or from work, or if there's anything that has to do with the church or you have to go to the mosque or anything like that. But they're saying with that that that this can be affected, you know, throughout the country. More mayors might be, you know, taking this in, making sure kids are off the street at night.
Starting point is 00:08:10 What about them crazy ass adults? You know what I mean? I know them kids be wildin', but some of these goddamn adults be wildin' too. What if it's people over 18 that's out here wildin'? You can't make the adults stay home. What if they the ones causing the trouble? I need to know. And I think that what, you know, I think Mayor Baraka is a great man.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Sleuth to Mayor Baraka. Drop on a clues bomb for Mayor Baraka. Sleuth to New Jersey. But I just wonder, how do they know it's just specifically the kids is what I'm saying. That's what I would like to know. Well, I'm sure they know what the crime is. And they'd have probably been arresting kids or they've been getting kids off the streets. And they want to make sure the kids are off the street.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I'd love to know. I'd love to know. Yeah. Some of these crazy ass adults need to be home at a certain time, too, okay? Well, you can't just put curfew on adults. You need to. Jesus. Some of them can't control theyself, right?

Starting point is 00:15:24 All right. And get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up now. We got Just With The Mess coming up. Yes. Kyla Pratt drops a very important message about birth. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And we'll get to that next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess.
Starting point is 00:15:45 News is real, brother. Jess is just a robber. Jess don't do no lies. Jess don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift.
Starting point is 00:16:01 She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it on. I swear I be in another world sometimes, like Pregnancy Brain. Why, why, why? Because I'm thinking we want a whole nother segment. I got to deliver the news right now. Yes, that's what you're missing. And your news is real.
Starting point is 00:16:19 First of all, yeah, I know, but I'm like over here chewing gum and la la la and thinking about something I want to eat. And I got to talk about this. Stay hungry. I know, but I'm like, over here chewing gum and la la la and thinking about something I want to eat. And I got to talk about this. Stay hungry. I know. Kyla Pratt talks about feeling dismissed by her nurse during her second pregnancy. So, the latest episode of Recipe for Change, which is a show by Tatiana Ali, Kyla Pratt talked about the nurse who ignored her during her birth. My second pregnancy, I went into labor early. And being in the hospital, and I told the nurse there that I was having contractions.
Starting point is 00:16:51 And she looked at the machine and she said, no, you aren't. And I said, yes, I am. I've done this before. Go get my doctor. And luckily, standing up for myself in that moment, my daughter is here now. Because she went to get my doctor. My doctor said, oh, you're six centimeters dilated. Now we have to do an emergency C-section.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But because I was so small, it wasn't showing up on the machine. And in that moment, I didn't really recognize when people weren't listening to me because I was young, because I'm black and because I'm a woman. That's why the black maternal death rate is what it is, because these doctors don't take black women serious when they tell them something's wrong. Exactly. And I love to hear us black women speaking on health care experiences like that. That's another reason why I was telling both of y'all, I don't want to have my baby in a hospital. I want to do this in like a birthing center or i want to do home birth like that's why it's important for midwives and doulas and more more black women to be um in this in that industry you know we need more help black health care workers and then and those doulas can catch
Starting point is 00:17:56 things that you know like uh kyla says she she she missed when she was like you know she didn't know right stand up for herself and herself like those doulas that's what those doulas are for to fill in those gaps yeah and to talk for you that's right you in you in pain you're in pain your mind is everywhere or you haven't experienced it before like most of their first experience so they don't know what their experience what their body's going through so yeah yep yep and like i said i i tell people now more openly open about it now when i was having ash and i had an epidural and I, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:27 and the doctor was like, so this student is going to do your epidural. What? And I, yeah. And I'm young, you know, I'm,
Starting point is 00:18:32 I'm 20. I'm like, yo, I'm hurting, whatever, whoever got to do it, do it. And I had to be stuck twice like that.
Starting point is 00:18:38 And even when you're back and you got to be careful and you got to stay as still as you can because you can be paralyzed. That's right. So I just wish that I would've sued and got that money and I wouldn't have to be here with y'all. Salute to all the doulas out there, though. Because doulas are important, even with guys, right?
Starting point is 00:18:53 Because when you a guy and you see your woman in pain like that, you bugging out. You be talking to the nurses and everybody crazy. So salute to all the doulas that keep things calm. Drop on the clues bombs
Starting point is 00:19:03 for Latham Thomas. Miss Glo Mavin. She was our doula for our last last two yes nice billy d williams says actors should be allowed to wear blackface um he has sat down with bill maher on this podcast and they were talking about the white actor who played a black character in the movie othello today i mean they would never let you do that. Why? Blackface? Why not? Because you should do it.
Starting point is 00:19:30 That's your point of view. If you're an actor, you should do anything you want to do. That's a great point of view, but the theater would be bombed. As an actor, you should be able to do whatever you think you can do. You should be able to do it. The point is... And that's a great attitude, you should be able to do it the point is and that's a great attitude but it still did happen but i mean it comes from an error you don't go through life feeling like i'm a victim correct i couldn't agree with that more while i understand
Starting point is 00:19:57 the end part i do understand like you can't go through life feeling like a victim does he not know where blackface came from and how like i mean i just i was i was rather shocked to hear his take on that um and bill maher kept trying to bring it back like no yo this is you know but but like i said he not thinking about it from that point of view he was more so like an actor can do anything if you're an actor that's what you do you know what i'm saying like you you push limits and you do things that you wouldn't do in your real regular life you're acting yeah but black face is just a specific thing though because it's the practice of non-black performers and they used to put the you know the black paint on their face to portray caricatures of black people right so
Starting point is 00:20:39 it would also it always it would always be like these offensive stereotypes of black people making us look the worst. So, no, you shouldn't be allowed to wear black face. But I can see... Pushing the limit, yeah. Yeah, I can see his argument for people being able to act as black people. And then the movie in Othello, the white guy, he said, Billy Dee said he fell out laughing because they put a big ass on a character. That's offensive. That's a character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just don because they put a big ass on the character. That's offensive. That's a character.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just don't see what the need for that would be. Yeah, like you need to do it. Like there's plenty of black actors and actresses out here. We don't need no white people pretending to be black people at this point. I don't see the need for that in 2024. And I think Billy Dee's 88 years old, right? Or 90 years old, somewhere.
Starting point is 00:21:22 He's up there. He is? He that old? Yeah, he's been around for a long time. He looks good, too. He still looks good. Yeah, so Zendaya wishes she would have went to school instead of being a child actor. So she recently spoke to Vogue about working at just 14 years old and her becoming the breadwinner of the family very early.
Starting point is 00:21:38 She got her start in 2010 on Disney's show, Shake It Up. And she said she feels like she's going through her teenager phase right now, you know, as a grown woman. Because she didn't really get to have a childhood. She didn't get to live out her teenage years as a teenager because she was always working. She quoted, I'm very tense and I think that I carry that from being a kid and
Starting point is 00:21:58 never really having an opportunity to just try it. And I wish I went to school. So... And they're basically saying she tired of y'all yeah she's so tired she's been working for a long long long long long time and stuff like that makes me sad because i'm like like she really wished that she could have a childhood and and that was that was like that's a lot of these kids a lot of these actors that we watch on tv and i grew up watching like you know like china the the lady uh the the McLean sisters China McLean and all of them younger kids and they wanted
Starting point is 00:22:28 childhoods like but it's some people that she started when she was like she was 14 like Mary Kate and Ashley Austin they started neighbors two years old you know their first role was on full house so I just be like dang do they all feel like I hate that then they've grown up to be honest with you because I thought her the trailer for the new movie she in, and she kissing two boys at the same time. Then before that, you had Euphoria. So when you got children that grew up off Casey Undercover, and they just like Zendaya, they want to see all of this, too.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's like, damn. I always wonder what childhood actors and childhood performers like, because the parents have to give up their lives to make sure that they can support the child that they're there, so they don't have a Nickelodeon type of thing. Right. So you got to make sure you're there.
Starting point is 00:23:06 So you sacrifice your life for your kids, which is fine. But then when your kids get to an age, when do you let them go? Because your whole life has been your kids. Yeah. Your whole finances have been your kids. Yeah. So I wonder how that works. Because we see them with Britney Spears' father and all these other dads.
Starting point is 00:23:21 But I understand it because the parents had to give up their lives. Right. But now all of their relationships are had to give up their lives, right? But now all of their relationships are estranged. Because look at Brittany and her father. That's true. Because they probably feel like
Starting point is 00:23:30 they was getting pushed when they didn't want to get pushed and they probably didn't want to quit and the parents were like, no, we got to get this money. Now that they're old enough to understand that they was nothing but indentured servants,
Starting point is 00:23:39 they're like, F y'all. Okay, I'm sick of this. All right. Well, that was just with the mess. When we come back, we'll tell you about this man who's suing 50 women who put on, I guess, some type of app that he was a bad date.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Oh, my God. That's right. Well, it's not them, sir. It's you. Well, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news all right now i'll just tell you some clip stories of course we had the eclipse on monday but some people weren't too happy in mexico they showed the clips on tv and uh they got in trouble because they accidentally showed a man's testicles instead of the solar eclipse. Oh, my God. First of all, first of all. It's on the TV screen, so it's supposed to be there, and they accidentally showed a man's testicles.
Starting point is 00:24:34 How? I need to see. Why y'all ain't shown me this before we got on the air? Y'all supposed to show me these type of things. Yes, I want to see how this happened. You want to see? Yes, I want to see how these type of things happen. We have the footage. We'll show you in a second. That don't even make any sense.
Starting point is 00:24:44 But somebody left a comment. It was like, I didn't expect to see the eclipse. I didn't expect to see how these type of things happen. We have the footage. We'll show you in a second. That don't even make any sense. But somebody left a comment. It was like, I didn't expect to see the eclipse. I didn't expect to see testicles. I would expect to see Uranus instead of the... What was the man doing, though? Like, why was he even on camera? They were off the screen mad fast. So it was, I guess, they went to the footage of supposed to be showing the eclipse,
Starting point is 00:25:00 and it showed the man's testicles. I don't know how the testicles got into the footage. But why did this man just have his testicles out? What's going on in Mexico? He was minding his business. That was supposed to be streaming somewhere else. That wasn't for us. But clearly it was in the public.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Why are you just out with your nuts hanging in the public? I don't know how they messed that up. Also, somebody came up with this bright idea to have an eclipse flight where a flight was $1,000 and it was a Delta flight actually and it would be flying where you could actually see the eclipse in the air. Well, because of the clouds, the people that paid
Starting point is 00:25:31 $1,000 could not see it. So they got some goodie bags. They got a hat, socks, and a moon pie and some chips. And they didn't get their $1,000. I saw one of those. That was Delta actually. Oh my God, for real? And I'm a,000. I saw one of those. What airline that is, y'all? That was Delta, actually. Oh, my God, for real?
Starting point is 00:25:45 Yeah, for real. And I'm a Delta member. That's clowned out. I saw that in New Jersey. Oh, my God. When I was looking at the eclipse Monday, there was a plane. And I said that.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I said, I wonder if that's a plane just for the eclipse because it was like a smaller plane. Right. I'm sure it was. Jesus. Now, this man is suing 50 women for calling him a bad date. Now, this guy is in California. He's lashing out at 50 women on Facebook for allegedly saying that his date was horrible and that he was whack and that he was trash.
Starting point is 00:26:12 And here's the women that he is suing, two of them, actually. It's very bizarre. The accusations are baseless. I feel not just for myself, but for my co-defendants and for the other women that he's gone after. Olivia Burger and Vanessa Valdez are just two of multiple women being sued for defamation, libel, sex-based discrimination and other allegations by Stuart Lucas Murray. He's basically suing us for 2.6 million dollars in damages. It all started with this post on the Facebook group, Are We Dating the Same Guy? When Olivia and Vanessa saw the post and all the comments, they added their own experiences.
Starting point is 00:26:53 He seemed, in my opinion, pretty smug and very arrogant. The entire date he was putting me down for various things, my job included. Vanessa never went on a date with Murray because she says she didn't like the messages he sent her, at one point even calling her a moron. I didn't know you could sue anybody. Well, I didn't know you could sue anybody for anything, but the fact that you could just sue somebody from calling them a bad date, but if the date was bad...
Starting point is 00:27:22 And they're all 50 bitches. All 50 of them. All 50 of them. Well, he talks about why he's doing it we contacted murray for comment but he declined an on-camera interview instead he directed us to this website with a long statement that says in part this action is not a game and the accusations against the defendants are serious. I rejected each of them and cut them off quite swiftly. Instead of going their separate ways, they went on for months and years to spread misinformation about me and countless others. Their actions were deliberate and they are now playing the victims, unquote. Yeah, so he's suing these women for $2.6 million.
Starting point is 00:28:05 And not going to win. I don't think he's going to win. It's like, what are you doing? You're spending more money going to court for 50 women than you're going to ever get. This is weird. Yeah, very weird. So basically, it's like a defamation thing. Defamation suit, yep.
Starting point is 00:28:19 But you're not famous. He's saying he's messing up his name. And lastly, we got to talk migrants. Now, a crew of Venezuelan migrants with rap sheets allegedly targeted Target. Yes, they went in Target. They ransacked the Target, took things out of Target. And then when the cops came, they allegedly beat up the cops. Now, the accused criminals were part of a crew of six that allegedly yanked items off displays in the store and did a whole bunch of other things.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And because of the bail reform, these guys were pretty much released right after. Where is this? It's in New York. You saw the stuff they were stealing, like cereal. They were basically stealing essentials. Doritos, strawberries, bottled waters, and things like that. I told you all weeks ago that America doesn't have the resources for this influx of migrants.
Starting point is 00:29:04 And like most people who can't get by in this country, the migrants are going to resort to what? To survive. Crime. Okay?
Starting point is 00:29:10 And when you look at what they stole, you see that it's just some essentials to survive. Yeah. But this is a problem of America's own creation because never forget,
Starting point is 00:29:18 Mayor Adams said New York was a sanctuary city. So those governors from Texas and Florida sent them right on over. This is what Mayor Adams said because of everything that's going on.
Starting point is 00:29:26 What I said, even with those who are undocumented and those who are migrants and asylum seekers, if you are a repeated offender of a violent act in this city, after you serve your time, you need to leave this city. That is my position people should not come here and be violent to everyday citizens of the city and to other migrants and asylum seekers because some of the incidents we're seeing they're attacking other migrants and asylum seekers who just want to come in pursue the American dream is that considered a violent act though I mean they shoplifted and then I guess they resisted arrest beating up the police I don't
Starting point is 00:30:05 know if they beat him up they threw rocks at the officer one officer was taken to a hospital so yeah okay you don't think they beat him up but they just threw rocks at him that shouldn't be a biggie yeah but think about what they were doing I'm not making excuses for them I'm just saying they were trying to survive they were stealing out of a store because they needed food. Is throwing rocks considered violent? Yes. What the hell is wrong with you? What are you talking about? Yes, throwing rocks is violent,
Starting point is 00:30:31 but like you said, they were trying to get food. They got guns. They got batons. You know what I'm saying? A violent act to me is like, you know, running up in a store and actually causing somebody bodily harm
Starting point is 00:30:40 just for the sake of causing them bodily harm. They weren't doing that. Listen, they wrestled, shoved, slapped, and pushed them in an attempt to resist. The wild struggle left one officer with swelling, redness, and pain on his left arm. He was taken to the local hospital where he was treated and released.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Well. Another suspect who has not been caught was throwing rocks at the officers, but the officers were not struck. Well, never forget, Mayor Adams said New York was a sanctuary city. Right. So those governors from Texas and Florida
Starting point is 00:31:04 sent them right on over here So now you gotta deal with those issues Alright Well that is front page news Alright now when we come back 800-585-1051 Let's talk DDG and Chloe Bailey Now DDG recently did an interview
Starting point is 00:31:18 And during the interview he talked about Trying to get Chloe Bailey jealous While she was there and he texted his ex DM'd his ex crazy something like I miss you or something like that

Starting point is 00:31:38 that's the thing he said he had did it in front of her and he had no attention on linking up with Ruby but he just texted and said like what you doing
Starting point is 00:31:44 he ain't say I miss you or nothing like that I think he said cause that's he just texted and said, like, what you doing? He didn't say, I miss you or nothing like that. I think he said, because that's what he said. He said, I just said, what you doing? And he did it in front of her just to get her attention. But why would you be so clowned out to trigger Ruby and to trigger the pregnant woman that you're with? Because he's trying to prove that he got hoes. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:32:00 He ain't got no hoes. Just dumb, yo. Holly know you ain't got no hoes. Sit your dumb ass down. And Ruby knows dumb, yo. She highly know you ain't got no hoax. Since you're a dumb ass now. Right, and Ruby knows this too. But if you know the type of girl that Ruby is, why would you trigger that person again? They still want me in these streets. Like, yeah. I'm still hot out here.

I did like double back on somebody that I was talking to when like a current boyfriend had made me mad or something like that but I didn't do that to get his attention. I did like double back on somebody that I was talking to when like a current boyfriend have made me mad or something like that. But I didn't do that to get his attention.
Starting point is 00:33:47 I did that just because he had made me mad and I just didn't want to deal with him at the time. Like, all right, whatever. Let me hit this other dude back. Absolutely. Okay. All right. I did.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I did. Okay. All right. First of all, Envy. All right. Like. I'm just asking. You know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:34:05 Well, let's go to the phone. I ain't do it yet. Cheating's not gonna stress him out? Cheating's not gonna stress him out. Hello, Bree. Hey.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Good morning. Hey, girl. So, I was basically saying that the craziest thing I did to get back with the ex was get full-blown, dressed up,
Starting point is 00:34:24 hair done, like, make sure I looked the baddest that I could look and told him that I was gonna go out there and do the same thing he was doing but really I just was sitting in the parking lot or like driving around like my old apartment kill some time and come back like two o'clock in the morning and make it seem like I had the time of my life. But really, I was just in my car being miserable. That's sad. Wasting gas.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Wasting gas. That's sad. Wasting gas. Like, walking around Walmart in Philly clothes. Looking like you just came from church. Did it work? I turned, because, you know, the stuff that I was wearing, you you just came from church. Did it work? I turned because, you know, the stuff that I was wearing, you couldn't wear to church.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Right. But I made sure I looked that way so he was under the impression that I was about to be out there in the street. Right. Did he call you? Was he calling you and texting you while you was out? No, but when I got back, we wouldn't even be talking. He would be so unfazed by it.
Starting point is 00:35:26 And it would just piss me off even more. So he was just not worth it. So you went back out in the garage? You went back outside? Yeah, I would just go back outside and sit in my car and act like I was mad and leave again. And just be driving around. Damn. Man, humans are some stupid people. I mean, we are ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I mean, we are really ridiculous. You said, did you call him? Did he call you? No. So it didn't even work. Damn. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Nautica.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Hey, Nautica. What you did to your ex? Well, what did you do to your man to make him jealous? I did the same thing. I called him and texted somebody. So I had to show him. You ain't the only one I have to have somebody. So I called somebody in front of him. Let to show him You ain't the only one I knew To have somebody
Starting point is 00:36:06 So I called somebody In front of him Let him know that He was on the phone And I came out On the way to his house And what he did He chased behind me
Starting point is 00:36:13 And he caught me He did what He chased behind me And he caught me And he was out With the gun Hold on You saying that last part
Starting point is 00:36:20 A little low He chokeslam you What did you say No I said he chased Behind my car Trying to see where I'm going. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. And you wasn't going
Starting point is 00:36:29 no damn place. The Walmart. Say what? You wasn't going nowhere but the Walmart. I wasn't going nowhere. That's crazy. I better stop playing
Starting point is 00:36:38 with these people. Absolutely. I better stop playing with these people. Why don't we understand proper communication skills, though? Why can't we just be honest with each other?
Starting point is 00:36:44 And just talk. Just talk. Like, yeah. All this goofiness for no reason. And then she, oh my God, then I'm so mad with DDG because Halle was pregnant. Like, all you had to do
Starting point is 00:36:53 was be like, all right, look, what's up? What's wrong with you? Like, you know what I'm saying? Or whatever the argument was about. She hormonal, she pregnant, and you can hit Ruby? Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:37:01 What is wrong with you? Cece. Hey, how y'all doing? Cece, what you did to make your man jealous? So, at the time, we worked with special education. So, we dealt with a lot of students who had crisis. And I worked with my boyfriend at the time. And so, he didn't call me for like the whole day.
Starting point is 00:37:18 He wasn't answering my phone calls. So, I had my friend call him. Because he was on my phone. And tell him that I was in crisis. So he had to come to me. Like, it was real drastic and extra. So I had to think like I was having a panic attack. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:37:35 So you told him you went to the emergency room? So you told him you went to the emergency room? I didn't go to the emergency room, no. I mean, I made it seem like it was drastic. Like, I really needed him to be there it was like yeah and what do you how did he react how did he react he was he was offensive and everything or whatever but i can kind of tell he was kind of like i don't know if i'm gonna want to be in it i guess i made it worse for the relationship yeah anything like i kind of made
Starting point is 00:38:02 it seem like i was dramatic and mentally unstable, I guess. Yeah, no, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Thank you. That's just like Carly Russell when she said she saw the baby walking down the highway. Just to all that to get that guy's attention. You're right. Just to get his attention.
Starting point is 00:38:17 What happened to communication? Yeah. Sitting down, having a conversation. That man didn't want to talk to her. So that's why she said that she saw a baby walking down the highway and she had to save him. And also, think about it like this. What's more embarrassing? Doing all of this goofy stuff y'all calling up here doing
Starting point is 00:38:31 or just talking to a person and telling them how you feel? Talking to a person. You know what I'm saying? Like being for real about your emotions. That might be a little embarrassing. That might hurt a little bit, but not as much as this stupid stuff y'all doing. But the problem is, these guys don't want to talk to them.
Starting point is 00:38:44 That is the problem. You see what I'm saying? So they're trying to get their attention. Yeah. That's why she said the emergency room. That's why she said, all right, I'm going to go out. And I'm going to wear the flyers clothes and put on my nice outfit. I want to get you jealous.
Starting point is 00:38:54 So you want to talk to me. And you're just driving around walking. And he don't care. Right. And that's going to push me away for others. And I'm going to be like, I thought she was crazy. Now I know she crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:02 And what if the guy had her location the whole time, right? It was like, you ain't even going away away he was in the garage the whole time damn it hey yo stupid 800-585-1051 what did you do to get your your boyfriend or girlfriend jealous let's discuss it's the breakfast club good morning if y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it.

She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to settle it all. So Tyler, the creator, responds to Azalea Banks saying he and Lil Nas X should get over white pussy and be a power couple. You know, every now and then Azalea come out and she say her piece and she go back wherever she be at. But she recently made a post saying that Tyler, the creator, and Lil Nas X should just stop dating white men and date each other.
Starting point is 00:47:03 That's what that meant. This post came after Tyler was on the Gerard Carmichael show and Gerard had expressed having deep feelings for him. I did not see that. Oh, you didn't see that? No. Yeah. I think they're best friends
Starting point is 00:47:16 and he said that, you know, he wanted to be in a relationship with Tyler. At one point. And what did Tyler say? I think he laughed. Damn. It was something disrespectful. He didn't take him serious.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Because Jesus Christ. Yeah, he didn't take him serious Jesus Christ Yeah he didn't take him serious Okay What if they both bottomed The Lil Nas X and Tyler the Creator Then they'd be a power bottom couple Hmm I don't know

And I love how TDE rolls out artists because they just take their time. I was literally talking to somebody yesterday about artist development and the lack thereof. TDE is a label that still does artist development.
Starting point is 00:49:36 And that's why when you finally start to notice somebody like Dolce, I think she just had a number one record. Right? When you finally start to notice her, she's almost ready. She's ready. But she's been out for some years now for some years now and but i love i love her music from old to new um don't she clap back saying for the first time you the first time you came to me i let it slide out of respect for my elders it's my fault you it's not my fault you selling bussy soap and i'm selling
Starting point is 00:50:01 platinum records leave me alone please so dead beef supposedly started in 2022 when Azalea Banks agreed to do a collaboration with Dochi and then Azalea randomly went on Twitter and began trash talking Dochi and um in the release of her song and the label TDE speaking of them um Azalea Banks said TDE is going out effing sad what the eff is even happening with TDE and she also said uh you have this effing Dochi chick who is no who I have no effing sad what the eff is even happening with tde and she also said uh you have this effing doji chick who is no who i have no effing clue who she is and at that time doji went on twitter expressed her confusion at what the issue was about and um she basically was just like she this was she this is so much grace she said i'm not sure sometimes people have been hurt so many times
Starting point is 00:50:43 they develop when people have been hurt so many times they develop when people have been hurt so many times they develop a defense and they end up creating the illusion of problems because they won't allow themselves themselves to accept something good trauma responses i was respectful excited and grateful to make art with her you know what i got out of all of that why was that that azalea banks is selling bussy boy soap and I just Googled it and I'm about to order two bars just because this is hilarious. I know, that's right.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Busy Boy, it says, make that busy bean, boy. Helps with irritation due to friction from rough anal sex, stubborn hemorrhoids, jock itch,
Starting point is 00:51:15 and bacterial overload. And you're going to buy two bars of that? This is hilarious. Absolutely, I'm supporting this. You're going to buy it? That's so cute.
Starting point is 00:51:23 I had no idea. When you read that about Dolce saying she's selling Bootsy Boy, I googled it. Yes, I'm buying something right now. It's going to be up in the studio. How much is the Bootsy Boy? $7. Okay. $7.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Wow. Brandon, get on your laptop. It's not an issue. Get on your laptop. I ain't using my laptop. I ain't using my laptop. Ray, do we got audio for this next story or no okay all right cool so woman goes through intense chemo after terminal diagnosis only to find out she never had cancer at all what yep so last year i was diagnosed with cancer i was given about 15 months to live if we were being optimistic. I had to prepare my two
Starting point is 00:52:11 children and my husband and my family that I probably wouldn't be here this year. I had to undergo very intensive chemotherapy. Overall, I had a pretty traumatic year what kind of cancer do you think i had any guesses none i never had cancer oops so that was fun they misdiagnosed me and put me through chemotherapy yep she's 39 she initially went to the hospital in 2022 for stomach pains that she suspected were related to kidney stones and they told her that she had cancer and then how about when she tell her doctor like yo whole time i have cancer he congratulated her instead of saying sorry he was oh that's amazing then damn like what you told me i did and this goes back to what she was at like well like the hollyberry thing when when she went to the doctor he told her that she had herpes she had herpes um when she described her symptoms to him and he said this is the worst
Starting point is 00:53:06 case he's ever seen and remember he was like you can't sue for that yeah like i really really want yeah but none of these cases say that they're suing it's weird i hope she does i hope she does because to go through you know how expensive that is these chemo treatments and all that even though insurance may have covered it i never had it but what about her mental right 15 months that she thinks she only had 15 months to live yeah that's crazy so i guess we keep up with that story but that was that was that was um wrong and that and that out of there oh that's good and that's what's up that's crazy wow so that's just what the mess for that hour for real i need somebody to help me navigate through this. Come on, Charlemagne. No, because they got Boy Berry Blue,
Starting point is 00:53:47 Georgia Peach Scents. This is so funny. It says, for that glazed donut hole effect. You said, this is hilarious. Atelier Banks
Starting point is 00:53:55 is really funny, y'all. Yeah, I know she is. And she's talented, too. Yes. They got something called Hoochie Dew. D-E-W. Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Oh, my God. Hoochie Dew. It won't let me order, though. I said I want two balls. she do? D-E-W? Oh my God. Who'd she do? It won't let me order though. I said I want two balls. Because you don't have a bussy. We don't know what he has or what he identifies as. I definitely got a bussy.
Starting point is 00:54:16 This ain't never been turned into one. Oh, your bussy ain't been activated. It ain't been activated. Hey y'all, I don't got time. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Who you giving that pussy to? Hey, before after the hour, we need a Southfield, Michigan man named Aaron Brown to come to the front of the congregation. I keep telling you all these fast food restaurants ain't dying for you. We'll discuss. All right, Donkey, today's up next. It's the Breakfast Local Morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. You better be a fake-ass Charlemagne.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Some Donkey today's just saw themselves. I've been watching-ass Charlemagne. Some donkey today has just sold himself. I've been watching you, Charlemagne. I was ready for you. I'm a donkey. I never heard of a donkey the other day. What is it? I'm a donkey. Say it again, Charlemagne.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything Charlemagne is saying is true. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, April 10th, goes to a 32-year-old Southfield, Michigan man named Aaron Brown. Salute to Detroit. What up, though? Drop on the clues bombs for everybody who listens to us on 97.9 WJLB.
Starting point is 00:55:18 What's happening? Now, one of the things we don't discuss enough in our society is portions. Okay, we speak about portions when it comes to people. Salute to the Big Back Brigade. Drop on a Clues Bons for the Big Back Brigade. You are appreciated. If you're listening to me right now, I pray your back gets unbigged before the summer. And I pray your belly disappears real soon.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Namaste. We also don't talk enough about fast food restaurants being stingy with the condiments. OK, see, we talk about portions when it comes to people openly, but don't discuss portions when it comes to food openly, and we don't discuss fast food restaurants being stingy with the condiments openly as much as we should. We tend to complain in the moment to ourselves or whoever we are with, but we don't trip too hard because unless you done left the restaurant,
Starting point is 00:56:00 you can pretty much get more of what you want in regards to condiments, okay? When it comes to food, it kind of is what it is. You have to take what they give you pretty much, but if you want more ketchup, you can get much get more of what you want in regards to condiments. Okay, when it comes to food, it kind of is what it is. You have to take what they give you pretty much. But if you want more ketchup, you can get more ketchup. If you had Chick-fil-A and want more polygamy sauce, you can get more polygamy sauce. When you had Chipotle and you want more guac, you can get more guac. If you ask for it and you pay for it. Well, Aaron Brown apparently didn't get that memo because Aaron Brown got into an argument
Starting point is 00:56:21 with a store employee over a portion of guacamole that was not to his liking. And this happened. Let's go to Fox 2 Detroit for the report, please. Chaos at Chipotle. A customer shoots an employee. Witnesses say it all started out as an argument over food. A source close to the investigation says it was specifically over guacamole. I was just eating a bowl and I heard shouting.
Starting point is 00:56:46 And then I look over, they're arguing, and they started fighting. And then we heard a gunshot and just ran out as quick as we could. The employee, a 21-year-old man, shot in the leg but expected to survive. Meanwhile, the suspect. He took his time getting out. Saw him just walk out to his car, close the door and just drive off. Like he didn't speed off or anything. It was, it was weird to see. Police arrested the 32 year old man in a parking lot, not far away. Now, of course they closed the doors as soon as police
Starting point is 00:57:14 got there. Uh, once 911 was called, the scene was secured. Meanwhile, no word on whether or not the guy took his food on his way out. No word and not on whether or not the guy took his food on his way out no word and I don't whether or not the guy took his food on the way out Joe heard Aaron Brown shot a 21 year old Chipotle employer because his portion of guac was not to his liking listen to all fast food workers retail workers this is your uncle Charlotte talking I've told you this before if you're working at a fast-food restaurant and a man comes behind the counter and starts fixing his own food just calmly walk to the back and call the proper authorities okay there is absolutely zero reason for you to be getting beat down over a damn burrito bowl let that man have
Starting point is 00:57:53 that chipotle ain't dying for you chipotle ain't paying for your funeral they're not taking care of your hospital bills by the way i don't care if you own the franchise clearly if this man okay is complaining about guacamole and then comes from behind the counter to fix his old food, then he knows something you don't. And in this case, he knows he got a pistol and a lot of pain he's ready to project on anyone who gets in his way. And that's what happened here. Every day of our life, when we leave the house, all we hope to do is avoid the crazy. So when you see the crazy, you should just avoid the crazy. All right. This man hasn't gotten what he wanted out of life ever. This man has not received enough from society, not enough love, not enough mental health care and not enough success.
Starting point is 00:58:34 And now you don't want to give him enough guacamole and got the nerve to try to stop him when he comes from comes behind the counter when he's making his own just to make his own tacos. Now you got chokeslammed because he chokeslammed the guy before you shot him. Now you got chokeslammed the way the Undertaker chokeslammed the Rock at WrestleMania the other night and you got shot. You know, here at The Breakfast Club, we have one of our former interns
Starting point is 00:58:56 who has risen up the ranks in this business. You see him on TV on Wild N' Out. You probably have seen his stand-up and he works here at The Breakfast Club. He's the president of the Fat Lives Matter Committee, commander of the Big Mac Brigade. Big Mac is here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Big Mac was talking to me and he has a perspective of this situation. I've heard him complain about portion sizes and folks being stingy with the condiments. Big Mac, the floor is yours.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Yeah, this is just to let everybody know this is a warning and this is a PSA to let y'all know that the Big Bacs are biting backsa to let y'all know that the big backs are biting back okay y'all keep holding off on all these condiments and napkins and and listen we tired of it one ketchup one barbecue sauce for 10 pieces it's not enough we tired of that y'all
Starting point is 00:59:39 go ahead try not filling up the fries to the top You got to fill up the fries to enough where there's some in the bag. Bag fries is the best. If I don't get bag fries, oh yeah, now it might be a problem. Dare you. I dare you to tell me the ice machine is broken. Still? Okay, cool. Big bags are biting back.
Starting point is 00:59:58 That's what we're doing. And look, Jamaican restaurants, oxtails. We want them drowned in the gravy. We don't have to ask for extra gravy. You know we want. We don't want no ashy oxtails, we want them drowned in the gravy. We don't have to ask for extra gravy. You know we want. We don't want no ashy oxtails. We want to drown in it. I disagree with everything that Big Mac just said.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Please give Aaron Brown. Please let me give Aaron Brown the biggest hee haw, please. Hee haw, hee haw. Stupid mother f***er, you dumb. Right. Big back attack. Damn right. Big backs fight back. Right. Big backs fight back right don't use your

Well, you know what I mean. That's the first thing I'm already going to say. But Alice Randall will be here to discuss her new book, My Black Country. For all of y'all out there that are learning about black people and country music because of Beyonce,
Starting point is 01:01:32 Alice Randall has been telling these stories for a long time. So her book is out right now. We'll be back to discuss with her. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:01:43 It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building yes indeed the author of my black country a journey through country music's black past present and future ladies and gentlemen alice randall welcome good morning i am so glad to be on the breakfast club it's like being on america's front porch oh we have to start using that one a use that as imaging taylor that's right america's front porch alice man you have such a storied history um you are the first black woman to ever write a number one country song yo tricia yearwood's xxx o's of those x isn't it and O's. Way back in 1994.
Starting point is 01:02:26 That ain't that far way back. At least I was born. I was two, but I was born. Jess, I have been 41 years in country and western music. I came as a black woman to Nashville in 1983. So this is my 41st year. And it's wild. I had songs recorded. I'm glad you shout out to that one that was two weeks at number one.
Starting point is 01:02:47 And it put Miss Aretha Franklin's name in it. A country song, got to two weeks. Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline, and we put Aretha first. That's amazing. Back then. And it was all about the money. It's hard to keep the balance up between love and money. I'm going to tell you about that in a second.
Starting point is 01:03:03 But my first song was recorded two years after I arrived in Nashville. So that was 1985. And that was a B side of a number one. So I had songs recording the 80s, 90s, aughts, 10s and 20s. And Char, you were one of the first people to ever recognize that. Wow, I love that. And if I can just say one thing here, that black man, D. Ford Bailey, is the father of black country. And in my opinion, the father of country radio.
Starting point is 01:03:29 You mean Lil Harden is the mother. And Lil Harden is the mama. That's right. And Ray Charles is their genius child. That's right. And I think that Charlie Pride is D. Ford's side child. And Herb Jeffries, the bronze buckaroo in all those 30s and 40s black westerns with singing cowboys. He's Lil' Stepchild.
Starting point is 01:03:51 That's right. His first family of black country. I love that. You see that? You got Herb Jeffries, Charlie Pride, Lil' Harden, the Ford belly, Ray Charles. Beautiful. That's amazing. And Beyonce in this moment, metaphorically, is Ray Charles' genius child, the daughter who may eclipse the father.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Explain that. Why is Beyonce the daughter of Ray Charles? In this case, because when 1963, when modern sounds and country and western drops, that's Ray Charles' country album. So first of all, Ray Charles put out an amazing country album in 1963. I used to cha-cha around the living room with my black auntie Mary Frances, who I love more than life. Mary Frances, I would dance to Ray Charles. Ray Charles country. He deconstructed and reconstructed country music according to his own aesthetics.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Now, you need to understand that Ray Charles grew up listening to the Opry. His mom won't let him stay up late to hear it on Saturday nights because back in the 40s, 30s, 20s, when my family was coming up, there was no black radio in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi. There was not. We were culturally redlined out of owning radio stations. So if you were black and you were living in the rural South, you could hear great live music in the juke joints in the church in your home. But the only thing you were really hearing in the rural South on the radio was a lot of country and some classical music. So black people knew country. And just remember, as my daddy said, we were actually playing on it. We can now document that, that there was two black geniuses on Blue Yolo No. 9. And that doesn't even count the people passing that were playing in these bands so we knew country and we knew that
Starting point is 01:05:25 we had invented the banjo that a lot of the things are best in country that it was a black person who taught hank williams how to play a lot of his early songs lefty frizelle that the carter family that they were taught by esley riddle esley riddle was a black man who taught the carter family their first songs a lot of their chords some people which carter family now you know you're thinking jay-z and beyonce well um as it's been traditionally told in the white world when they say about the first family of country they say jimmy rogers is the papa now i just told you he was really working with lil and louis and they say that the mama is a Maybel Carter, Mother Maybel. But I'm going to tell you
Starting point is 01:06:06 that Mother Maybel, she had a way of playing that's called Carter Family Scratch, the way she used two fingers, three fingers. Well, this man,
Starting point is 01:06:14 Ezley Riddle, he was in a terrible accident when he was young, lost a leg. Then he almost committed suicide or maybe tried to commit suicide and he lost a couple fingers. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:06:23 He played with three fingers before the Carter family was playing. He's the one that taught them the first song. So I'm just saying who really invented Carter family scratch? We can't prove that. But is it the man who actually had that? We know that they acknowledge and they played with him. I'll do their history later.
Starting point is 01:06:40 And they have there's a story that they tell that he's called Eslie Riddle because their children could not pronounce Leslie. Well, I found him in the U.S. Census as Eslie, E-S-L-I-E, long before he ever met the Carters. So there's questions about this because our history is not well documented. So the cowboy Carter obviously speaks right now for Beyonce Knowles and Mrs. Carter. I don't know that she is at all signing to the original Carter family. But what I signed to is, I'm not interested in that Carter family right now
Starting point is 01:07:12 because they've had a lot of attention. I'm really interested in Esley Riddle, who's a black man who came from that same place. And his story has not been told. And that's what you get in my black country. Dee Ford's story hasn't been told. d ford's story hasn't been told lil harden's story hasn't been told you know it's interesting um and my guy bobby bones he does he's the big nationally syndicated you know country morning guy salute to bobby bones out in nashville
Starting point is 01:07:36 he talked about the banjo and how you can't even talk about country music without talking about black people's contributions to country music from the very beginning. So my question is, when did it shift? When did people just make it country or white thing, so to speak? Well, there's two pieces that one, I agree with your friend, Bobby Bones, that my definition of country music is Celtic, English, Irish, Scottish, ballot form storytelling, plus black influences, plus evangelical Christianity. Country can't be country without black influences. Without black influences, country is just folk music. Now, some of those black influences are black gospel from LA and the South. Some of the black influences
Starting point is 01:08:19 are the banjo. Some of it is the way notes are bent when they're sung. They're coming out of the blues. And if you don't have the evangelical Christianity, you might be in a country blues. Because the big difference is, and I said, my childhood, I had a very bad mother and had a great daddy and a really bad mother. So I don't love the blues. The blues is too, my daughter loves the blues. The blues is too hard for me. I need some hope. I need with my tragedy. I need the reality. And then I need some hope. And black country has both of those things. The hope, because it could be, I'm just going to be up in heaven and tell Jesus how you done me. It could be you're going to be in hell
Starting point is 01:08:55 and some burning fires. And I'm going to be, that there's some hope. There's some revenge in country. And I like the hope. I like the revenge. that blues has a little bit of experience of we are walking on hell and earth but we're finding some joy we're making some joy in the hell on earth yeah but black country says we're going to get somewhere else but country isn't country and on this is the little teacher in me I hate to say I have to do this one because I'm a professor at Vanderbilt I have a course on black country, and I've been teaching that course since 2015. My first course, Country, Lyric, and American Culture, I've been teaching since 2006. I used to say it was musical miscegenation, and that wasn't my phrase. I adopted that one. But here we know that country requires blackness to be country. And one of the examples you see on cowboy carter is that song blackbird which is a
Starting point is 01:09:46 remake of a beatle song without the black voices on it it's a folk song you add those black women's voices and their black aesthetics it's country what makes it country the black gospel you hear sound that they bring to it i love my reinaa Roberts on there. My students found her for me when she was only like three weeks when she was on TikTok. I had students rush in and show her to me. And so I've been loving her for some time now.
Starting point is 01:10:14 The world is discovering her now. Yeah, Raina is talented. Yeah, absolutely. All right, we got more with Alice Randall when we come back. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,
Starting point is 01:10:24 Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking more with Alice Randall when we come back. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Alice Randall. She has a new book, My Black Country and Journey Through Country Music's Black Past, Present, and Future. I got a question. What did you think of Beyonce's album? Did you listen to it in full? What were your thoughts?
Starting point is 01:10:38 Oh, I have listened to it many times. I actually love it in this particularly. As I said, I'm 64. This is sort of my birthday party on the Breakfast Club. I'll be 65 May 4th. And you know, when I arrived here 41 years ago in Nashville, I wanted to get as number one, and I
Starting point is 01:10:56 got a number one. I wanted to spotlight black women who have really contributed. I'm proud to say I wrote the first major article on Linda Martel. Everybody talking about her now. I'm proud to say I wrote the first major article on Linda Martel. Everybody talking about her now. I've published that in 2010. I'm in the documentary
Starting point is 01:11:10 her granddaughter is making about her. I love Linda Martel. I had to fight to get that space for her back in 2010 when people weren't talking. And I'm thrilled that Beyoncé has brought her to a huge world. My article got a lot of attention, but in a narrow way. Now the whole
Starting point is 01:11:26 world knows who Linda Martell is. That documentary, her granddaughter's been struggling to get made, picking up a little bit of money here, a little bit of money there. Now that thing is going to be made and made right. So I am absolutely thrilled that Beyonce has taken country to a global audience. But there's a third thing. So I wanted to spotlight these black people. I could do that in this book. I wanted my own number one. but I wanted to see, and Jess, this is going to be you and me here. I wanted to see a black woman at the top of the country charts because the day I arrived in Nashville in 1983, Charlie Pryde had already been up there 29 times. Ray Charles was acknowledged. I saw, I was in the room when he played Seven Spanish Angels in Nashville
Starting point is 01:12:07 in a back small room for DJs. He got to go to the top of the charts. There are so many black men who have been to the number one spot. Now, just call the name of the two most important. Charlie Pryde, Ray Charles. But Darius Rucker, I'm not even going to name anymore because there's so many.
Starting point is 01:12:23 And there has not been one black woman. Black women have absolutely... I have a song called Small Towns Are Smaller For Girls in country. And that's true. It's hard on the country radio even for all women. Small towns are a lot smaller for black women.
Starting point is 01:12:40 If small towns are smaller for girls, they're really smaller for black girls. And Music City is a small town. So I wanted to see a black woman at the top of it because it's acknowledging that we are worth, our beauty, our significance. And I thought I was going to retire without seeing it. So Cowboy Carter, for me personally, is so important because it is a hallelujah moment. It is a Juneteenth moment moment it is good news at long last but my daughter says caroline randall williams good news at long last is still good
Starting point is 01:13:13 can we talk about divine alignment because you started my black country a while ago so when you're writing the book and you know you know your book is about to be published you get the date it's you know april but then all of a sudden you start to hear these beyonce texas hold them and beyonce may be doing a country album like what did that feel like it felt that what you just said divine alignment because this project i started 41 years ago and really this part of it started in deep five years ago. It's a pure project for me. This is my life work, the history of Black people and country, putting it back into the 17th century.
Starting point is 01:13:52 And it's just a wild alignment because it has created a global conversation, a global conversation that I spent 41 years preparing for, but actually started even earlier than that at Harvard in 1977, when I'm starting to look, studying the Harlem Renaissance with Nathan Huggins and starting to try to prove my father's black Detroit gossip was true, chasing that down. Because back then there was no scholarship
Starting point is 01:14:20 that told us that the banjo was a black instrument. Back then there was no scholarship that said Lil Harden was really on that record. But I have traced down these oral histories that other scholars have, and now we know that Lil Harden was absolutely on that record, that the black gossip of Motown was correct. So the alignment, though, instead of this being some small book, if you're on the breakfast club, I'm going to say I want you out there getting my black country. I want to be lifted up by black readers. Yeah, that is. I have always with all of my books, starting with The Wind Gone Gone.
Starting point is 01:14:57 I have loved one of my readers told me is the literary equivalent of Prissy slapping Scarlett back. I have to stop and tell this story. is the literary equivalent of Prissy slapping Scarlett back. Dang. I have to stop and tell this story. I was in North Carolina. Black woman librarian had bought all these books for the State Library of North Carolina of mine. But we were coming home after the big reading, and I'm thinking back to my hotel, this is not the way we went.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Like, I don't know where we are going. It's late at night. We've got dinner, reading, and she drove me and we sat outside the house. She pulled up in front of a house in a fancy neighborhood. And she said, my mother worked as a maid in this house almost all my life. They made her come in the back door. They made me come in the back door. They loved Gone with the Wind.
Starting point is 01:15:41 And I cannot tell you what it means to me that you wrote this book attacking everything that valued that and the way they treated her. I waited this long. She said, I felt such joy. But more than that, I had women who were ongoingly working as domestic servants telling me this book meant so much to them. And when I read the book, that went out loud. And I read this one because I'm not an actress. I'm not a performer. I don't have great voices like all three of you.
Starting point is 01:16:09 I read this one because my grandparents couldn't read or write. My grandmother could read a tiny bit. My grandfather couldn't read or write even his own name. I adore my grandparents. They were brilliant people and storytellers. Just never had a day of school in Alabama. I read my books and make sure there's audiobooks because I know a lot of brilliant people can't read or write and that I want them
Starting point is 01:16:30 I'm working as much for them as the people who have all these degrees and whatever that's amazing look chapter six in your book big dreams big hits big mistakes without spoiling it you know because I know it's a lot of information in this book you keep saying look read this book we're gonna read it but i just can you tease a little bit what like mistakes with in the um big dreams that part of it was the first one the first big things i did was a song called big dream that i co-wrote with my daughter when she was just little and it got into this movie called the thing called love it was river phoenix's last big movie and the big mistake was I literally signed that thing that I should never have signed.
Starting point is 01:17:07 You sold your big dreams and you signed a contract without reading it. But the other good thing was that I got to write novels. I might have just been a country songwriter and now I get to be a country songwriter and a novelist and a memoirist. And I love my six books. I've got one about a black spy family.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Oh, hold up now. For real. Yes. Okay. And if you ever get involved in that kind of movie production, I've got a great one, Rebel Yell, about a black spy family. I've got some really cool books. Oh, you can read all of them, girl. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Listen, they got to go get the book, man. Alicia Randall, My Black Country, A Journey Through Country Music's Black Paths, Present and Future. It's the latest release off my book imprint black privilege publishing but also uh from 7 to 8 30 uh you can catch me and alice randall and rosanne cash will be at the brooklyn public library from 7 to 8 30 uh having more conversations about my black country yes and i'm so excited i hope to see so much of the breakfast club out there i came all the way up from Nashville to meet some new people.

What's the over-under on there being more shots from somebody? Hmm. Hmm. I don't know. I don't think so. Because we still don't trust you part two.

Starting point is 01:21:00 What he's going for? He's going for getting beat up? Yeah, he, yep, that's what he's going for. But in the video, wasn't he, wasn't he the instigator? If I remember correctly, that was so long ago. He initiated the fight.
Starting point is 01:21:09 We're forgetting that the baby has a baby with his sister, so they can just leave it at the house. He can wait for the baby to come to pick up the kid.
