Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to an iHeart podcast. This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Hamler and Helms is here. I of course was drawn to the LSD story. This was all under official government activity. They built a apartment that had a glass mirror where he could sit there and watch. And then they would drug these customers and he was just sort of taking notes and God knows what else behind this double mirror. And this was all in the name of science.

You know it's one of my favorite storytellers of all time, Judy Blume.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Yes. It is a reimagining of Judy Blume's book Forever by another one of my favorite storytellers, the creator of Girlfriends, Mara Brockacill. So it is fantastic. You know it's a great show when after you watch the last episode you hate one of my favorite storytellers, the creator of girlfriends, Mara Bracca Keele. So it is fantastic. You know it's a great show when after you watch the last episode, you hate one of the characters. And I do not like Justin at this moment. But that's the best though, because the acting, the plot, the story is probably so good. They can make you hate them like that? Yes, absolutely.

That's right they'll be joining us this morning. It's a brother that's doing it big in golf. All right. And we got front page news next. And Mimi's actually here in person. Mimi's in studio. Oh, no one. Oh, hey, girl. Yeah. Hey, Jess. Hey. We'll get to that when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DEJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. In some quick sports last night, the NBA playoffs are amazing. I mean, these are going to the wire.
Starting point is 00:06:09 The Nuggets beat OKC last night, 119-107. They tied a series 3-3, so there will be a game seven. And my Knicks play tonight. Yeah, that's anybody's game. Game seven with the Nuggets and OKC. You can't play with the Nuggets. They're former champions, man. And you're talking to that god damn big ass joker on the court, You can't play with the Nuggets. They're former champions, man He's not that goddamn big-ass joker on the court. That's right. You can't play with him
Starting point is 00:06:27 That's right And you can't play with Boston tonight because even though Tatum is out they still got a strong team in a long bench pause Morning, baby. Good morning. Y'all. All right, so let's get into this front page news A judge in Wisconsin is pleading not guilty to helping a man evade Immigration authorities now judge Hannah Dugan, she was in court yesterday. She was indicted on two counts of obstructing a federal agency and concealing an undocumented immigrant who had a criminal hearing in her courtroom. Now, Dugan was arrested by the FBI back in April. A federal grand jury indicted her earlier
Starting point is 00:07:00 this week and her trial is set to begin on July 21st. Now, according to the FBI, the man she was allegedly trying to help was previously deported in 2013, but he reentered the US illegally and was later accused of battery. Immigration officials had planned to arrest him after his court hearing, but agents say someone took photos of the arrest team and showed it to the judge while she was in court. And when that hearing ended, witnesses say the judge told the man to follow her and led him and his attorney out of the courtroom through a private door to avoid agents. The man was later spotted in the courtroom.
Starting point is 00:07:35 He ran from agents, but he was caught outside after a brief foot chase. Now, Dugan's attorney, he was going, they were surrounded. He wasn't going to get far. Dugan's attorney said she's innocent and she was acting within her role as a judge. Her legal team is trying to get the case dismissed, arguing she has immunity and the arrest violates the Constitution. Did they have a relationship? Like her landscape or something? Her boyfriend. She just felt like a good Samaritan. I think it was just she wanted to be a good Samaritan. But you can't do that, right?
Starting point is 00:08:05 You can't know that they're going to pick them up and then say sneak out the back door because if it would have been anybody else, they'd have got locked up. But this is a precedent because when do you arrest a sitting judge in her courtroom? So that's what everybody's up in arms about is that she's been arrested by the FBI. And so if she's convicted, she's facing two charges, one felony, one misdemeanor, and that is up to six years in prison. That is interesting,
Starting point is 00:08:31 because I'm just sitting there trying to think, what was her plan? Like where was she trying to get this individual to go? And was she abusing her power, would be the right word, meaning that she knows she's the judge, that she probably was thinking they're not gonna arrest me if I stand in the way of this? She probably thinks she was gonna get caught.
Starting point is 00:08:45 She said, go out the back door. How'd he go? I just let him out this way, you know what I mean? Yeah. Just took him through a private exit. Okay, so, and then I know you guys have been covering the Newark air traffic controller situation. And so there is a second air traffic control facility
Starting point is 00:09:01 in the US that experienced about a 90 second communications outage this week. It happened on Monday at the Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center, which manages airspace over Colorado and nearby states. Now during this outage, as many as 20 pilots over the Denver airspace could not talk to air traffic controllers. Frank McIntosh, he is the deputy chief operating officer for the FAA. He testified yesterday at the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that one of the controller's main radio frequencies failed. Then they switched to a backup and that one
Starting point is 00:09:35 failed too for nearly two minutes. He was grilled by Rep Hank Johnson about the shortage of air traffic controllers and let's listen to that exchange. How many people, how many air traffic controllers have left the system since January 20th of 2025? I'm not aware of how many have retired. You know what, but could it have been a hundred? It could have been one, it could have been a thousand. Could have been five thousand.
Starting point is 00:10:04 No. Maybe twenty five hundred? No Two thousand. I don't believe so sir. I track how many air traffic controllers are in the cell. Tell us how many have left their jobs since January 20th. I can't tell you that exact number sir. I would be happy to come back. All right, so that exchange took place and that's after a new station in Denver. Denver 7 investigates they're reporting that the outage lasted six minutes and not the 90 seconds that the FAA is reporting.
Starting point is 00:10:34 But six minutes, two minutes without that's scary. It's too much. There's not enough sense of urgency around this situation for me. Like either close Newark Airport down for the time being. That was Denver. That was Denver. That was Denver. I saw that happen in Newark the other day too. Yeah, that either close Newark Airport down for the time being or. That was Denver. Oh that was Denver. That was Denver. Oh, I saw that happen in Newark the other day too. Yeah, that happened in Newark the other day.
Starting point is 00:10:49 That happened in Denver. It's just scary, you're flying. But I wonder if this happened before and now we're just hearing about it more and more and more or is this totally new? Why aren't the airlines raising hell? Because then when something bad happens with one of the airlines, they're gonna get the blame.
Starting point is 00:11:02 So why aren't they raising hell? They're gonna be sued, hell yeah, absolutely. And they're also gonna lose money though. So it's all about money at the end of the day. So anyway there's about- And then those people with jobs at those airports. Yeah that too. Yeah. Alright well that's front page news we'll see you next hour Mimi. And everybody else get it off your chest before that I also want to tell everybody that engineers
Starting point is 00:11:22 have been gone on strike this morning at NJ Transit. It's halting the nation's third largest commuter line.

Yo, you can bring mountain bikes to know he made motorcycles when he said by Davidson Mountain bike Much oh bikes is crazy motorbikes. Yes motorcycle. Hello. Who's this?
Starting point is 00:18:22 What's up brother Jones from Philly. What's up, brother? D. Jones from Philly, what's happening? Hey, hey, Charlotte May. Look, this is all I got for my channel. Where the hell is Charlotte May? Charlotte May. Charlotte May, man. Charlotte May. Oh, OK.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Charlotte May, listen, right? It's a hypocrisy, or how are you saying, right? With the Central Park Five, it's going to be late. Because when a guy that confessed, you know, he said he did that, he did this stuff to the jogger. What's the difference of introducing his new testimony and then bodyguards?
Starting point is 00:18:54 You said the bodyguard, he should have said that during the trial. So do you think that- It's a huge difference because you actually have the person who committed the crime confessing. And now if the girl Kelsey came out and said, hey, I committed the crime, that it would be an equivalence. This is what you're doing is a false equivalence.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Right. Yeah. Okay. Right. Okay. I agree with that. So what about right when you said, well, he'd be judged by a jury of his peers. So it said be retried. That's like Trump's saying the same thing. Like they'd be judged by a jury of their peers. Why would we go at it again? I'm saying that based off the due process and all the evidence that was presented, the simple question I asked was, if Tory Lanez and his attorneys knew all of that evidence
Starting point is 00:19:32 was against Tory, why wouldn't he simply say, hey, Kelsey shot Meg and why would Meg, what reason would Meg have to say Kelsey didn't shoot her? I mean, that Kelsey shot her. Because that's like, cause you know, it's about girl feminists in the end, girl power, you know. You got your feminists too.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I don't believe that. Hey yo, but I love all of y'all, man. Lauren, she done a good job with the trial. Jess is beautiful, man. I love y'all, peace, man. Thank you. Y'all see y'all. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Have a good one, brother. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We are the only society that will ignore evidence just for he said, she said. It's the weirdest thing to me. five one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one That's all it is. The bodyguard said he overheard her say these things. So as he says, you ignore all the evidence that was in court that took years and weeks to process to believe the bodyguard. You can still use that as evidence, but the court is over. So you'd have to go through so many procedures to even get back to that position, appellate courts and all that.
Starting point is 00:20:38 People think he's going to be out tomorrow. You're right, but do you understand what I'm saying? I understand exactly what you're saying. People ignore evidence that took years and weeks of due process that people actually investigated and jurors took time to go through. But one bodyguard says, well, I heard, and now that's who y'all, that's so,
Starting point is 00:20:56 that y'all believe that? Because these social media detectives are breaking it down for people, and people believe it. There's no facts, this is what they believe in, and they be talking like they know facts. It happens all day long on this thing. And I wasn't there. So I mean, listen, I don't know what happened I'm just saying why would you ignore the courts in all the evidence as opposed to you know?
Starting point is 00:21:13 Why would you believe this one bodyguard who just overheard something? I agree Do you just need facts and speaking of facts you was at the trial yesterday? Yeah, and a lot of facts are getting misconstrued or something, because the prosecution had Cassie looking crazy yesterday. I called you yesterday. I didn't. I think so. I didn't get your phone call.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I thought that was the defense yesterday. It was the defense that she was speaking to, but I feel like the prosecution did not. I don't know. For that to be the star witness, they ain't set her up the right way at all. They didn't pepper. They didn't.
Starting point is 00:21:41 There was things that she. Why would you come back? Oh, yeah. Well, we'll come back. And there's a lot, y'all. I have one question overdosed I want to know could Cassie be charged because the way that they breaking is down It seems like she was part of the she means seems like she was Okay, so wasn't here we talked about it cuz I said that I said I feel like if she wasn't testifying for them
Starting point is 00:22:00 She would be sitting right where Puff is that right now, but let's talk about it when we come back We got the latest Laura when we come back is the Breakfast Club good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club now we about to get to the young lady who yesterday had was wearing high heels stepped over people was videotaping and asking questions all at the goddamn same time. Let's get to the latest on her. Say I'm the biggest, the largest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So yesterday in court was Cassie's first day of cross-examination. So that's where Puff's team gets to ask her questions about her testimony and just different things that they want the jury to hear. I don't know what the prosecutors are doing. They did such a good job the day before of laying out what they had and establishing why their charges make sense, even though I don't think that it's as gut wrenching as
Starting point is 00:23:17 they've made it seem from all the indictments and stuff like that. But y'all, the way that Cassie was looking on that thing yesterday, first of all, they debunked so many different things just speaking to her credibility, right? Like not getting into like the force and all that yet, right? Just speaking to her credibility, y'all know on the scene the day before she told that story about Shug Knight and Puff and D-Rock allegedly grabbing guns and going to run into Shug Knight at Mel's diner. And he left from a free call to do that according to her, right?
Starting point is 00:23:45 So according to the defense team and the interview that Cassie did with the prosecutors before she got on the stand, like in the beginning of the investigations, that story was completely not true that she sat on the stand the day before that. So how did they debunk that? So they basically asked her, they said, Hey, you remember yesterday you testified that you stayed in your home And you were upset and a puff had allegedly left from a freak off and blah blah blah Like they went down what she said then she was like yeah, and they said well
Starting point is 00:24:12 Do you remember Nate Nate they ran down a date the date that you spoke to the prosecutors and you told them that you were Forced to get into a car you were crying you were upset But you didn't have a choice according to you right like you were like basically forced Get in this car to go with them to run into shit night. And she was like, I never said that. And they said, okay, well, we have the transcripts from your interview with the prosecutors right here. She looks at it, she pauses for a moment. She said, I don't know why this would say that because I've always said that I didn't go. And I'm like, but it's a, it's
Starting point is 00:24:40 an interview with prosecutors. So it looks crazy. And there were just, there were so many moments like that where- That's why you shouldn't try to remember nothing when you was on drugs. Right. When you try to recall things when you're on drugs? No. Now let me talk about that because I thought about that too. Like, you know, she said a lot yesterday and the day before that about how much they were
Starting point is 00:24:59 using drugs, so some things may be a little hazy for her. She couldn't even remember some of the escorts' names that they knew that she had slept with, right? Who remembers escorts names? No, she remembered a lot of them. Because they were using a lot of them for a long period of time and taking them to different states. But, drug use. So, there was a time in 2017 where things were like super, super hazy, right? And she on the stand said, I really don't remember much from this time because there was something else else they were talking to her
Starting point is 00:25:26 about and she it was just all over the place and she wasn't sounding like she was telling the truth. So they're talking to her about the drug use and the day before remember I told you guys they were asking her about the drug use and asking her how she was resupply on drugs like who gave her the drug dealers contacts and stuff like that and she said Diddy. And when she said that I watched Diddy in court look at her like girl what? Yesterday on the stand they said okay so let's talk about your drug use right because is it or is it not true that you know both of you guys were using drugs but like Diddy was still able to run multiple businesses and like ran down a list of everything he was doing he was more functioning and she was like yeah I you could say that. And then they go into having a conversation about the
Starting point is 00:26:07 fact that at one point in time, Puff was calling drug dealers and telling them to stop serving Cassie because she was so bad off. Like she was worse off on drugs than he was. And Cassie admitted that that was happening. The day before that, though, they painted it as if she was like lost in this whole whole drug abuse thing that was caused and spiraled out by Puff. Yesterday, the conversation was, no, you were making choices on your own to the point where he was even having to intervene
Starting point is 00:26:34 with some of her friends because he didn't like how much drugs she was doing. He was trying to protect the way that they were doing. They were doing their things, but he was trying to make sure that it was, from what they're alleging, that it was a lot more safe, and she didn't push back on it. I thought they were saying,
Starting point is 00:26:47 I thought Diddy's team was saying that Diddy was also on drugs really bad, and they were trying to say, that's why he didn't remember putting hands on her. But he even said he OD'd. He OD'd, yes. So look, they never, and this is why, I'm saying the prosecution left their star witness
Starting point is 00:27:02 out there looking crazy, because Diddy's team has never ran from any of that. They have talked about his drug use yesterday. It did come up in court that he overdosed at this around the time that Whitney Houston passed away, right? Was he rushed to the hospital when he overdosed? Yeah, they said they took him to the hospital. It was like a whole thing. They didn't go into a lot of detail about it and I have been trying to get more information on that because for a lot of us in the
Starting point is 00:27:20 courtroom we were like, wait, what? How did this happen? How did he overdose? The world never knew. But that's how bad their drug use was. But he was always able to like keep himself together and not like fall off and able to like, try and like go through like withdrawals and stuff to get off of it. She was having a bit of a harder time from what it seemed like to the point where he was encouraging her to go to rehab and she admitted she did go to like a wellness spa and things of that nature. But I think the reason why I brought that up is because puffs team did try and use that as a defense, right?
Starting point is 00:27:48 And she tried to do that as well. But the way that everything is coming out now is really seeming like, okay, what we saw happen to her in that that video and the other things that I know happened to her because we've seen photos of the bruises and things like that, right? Is not okay. Yo, K-pop fans, it's your boy, BOMHAN, and I'm bringing you something epic. Introducing the K-Factor, the podcast that takes you straight into the heart of K-pop.

I, of course, was drawn to the LSD story. In the 1950s, the CIA scientists secretly bought the entire world supply of LSD, embarking on a horrific attempt to discover the secrets to mind control. This is so insane. This was all under like official government activity. They built a apartment in San Francisco
Starting point is 00:30:31 that had a glass mirror where he could sit there and watch. And then they would drug these customers and he was just sort of taking notes and God knows what else behind this double mirror. And this was all in the name of science. This just sounds like a guy off***ing off behind a wall. It does. I would just also like to say if you don't have to take LSD like this, LSD can be microdosed.
Starting point is 00:30:53 It's like an upper of energy, enthusiasm, makes you less nervous if I'm going heli-skiing. If it allows me to go heli-skiing, then yeah, I'm hella on board. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I found out I was related to the guy that I was dating. I don't feel emotions correctly. I am talking to a felon right now, and I cannot decide if I like him or not.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Those were some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world as a fake gecko therapist and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept, but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot. Matter of fact, here's a few more examples
Starting point is 00:31:42 of the kinds of calls we get on this show. I live with my boyfriend, and found his piss jar in our apartment I collect my roommates toenails and fingernails I have very overbearing parents even at the age of 29 They won't let me move out of their house So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head and see what's going on in someone else's head search for Therapy gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:32:10 It's the one with the green guy on it. Okay, but the way that they were able to almost humanize, like, okay, he had a lot of drugs in him too. If we're gonna give her a pass for being drugged up and not being able to make her own decisions, we should have that conversation about him too, is what they were able to accomplish yesterday. They were both drugged up a lot. not being able to make her own decisions We should have that conversation about him too is what they were able to accomplish yesterday They were both drugged up a lot Yeah and it used her to do it
Starting point is 00:32:29 This is what I was telling you Lauren You got eight weeks You're gonna go crazy cuz every day when the prosecution is on prosecution is gonna say things that make sense When the defense is on the defense team is gonna make things that make sense You're gonna be playing hopscotch like oh my Charlotte look at this You got eight weeks I am like, I'm like if I was a juror, I would be so stressed
Starting point is 00:32:46 You should really do a book and documentary after this cuz you're there every day next question I was gonna ask could Cassie be charged will they cat will they charge Cassie because from what you're telling us It was like baby girl was the number two number. She was number two and she was The freak off since she allegedly supplied some of the drugs. That's what it seems like they're saying. So could she be charged as well? I had asked some questions about that yesterday to a source who told me that they had heard that there were some conversations about immunity, which would only make sense. But they can't 100% confirm it, but I'll have that by Monday.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I got so many questions, we gotta go. We gotta go, we can come, bring it back in next hour. The little kid cut his call. What happened with Michael B. Jordan? Tell us! We got some more for the next hour. Jesus. Some people back in the car. What happened with Michael B. Jordan? Tell us we got some more for the next hour Jesus Strays what Janet Jackson birthday, though, so Happy birthday to the legend. Yeah
Starting point is 00:33:37 You can mention me anytime Right now so close to this story. Yeah, just a little after. You didn't have to do that. Oh my, who's that on your shirt? Jess, wait back up, let me see your shirt. Who's that on your shirt? That look like victim number seven. That look like the drug supplier. That's who a supplier. That's who a supplier.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Yo, this is with, this is, yo, this is the picture, this is the picture that Snoop posted. What's that on your head? Huh? What's that on your head? On my head? Yeah, what's that? Oh, it's my ponytail.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Oh, my ponytail back then. I've come a long way. I want that in a large. You better have that in here next week. I need one too. I need one too. Don't clip my ends. Just hilarious. Alright. Now when we come back, Mimi will be joining us. We got front page news, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. Again, the Nuggets beat the OKC at 119-107, they tied the series 3-3. And yes, my Knicks play tonight, so hopefully we can finish off these Celtics at home. What's up Mimi?
Starting point is 00:34:43 What's up y'all? All right, so let's jump back into this. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the man tapped by Trump and House Republicans to lead the country's top public health agencies. He testified before Congress this week and he made one thing clear that he doesn't think Americans should take medical advice from him. At a House Appropriations Committee hearing earlier this week, Kennedy was there to explain why he wants to slash the budget for major health agencies like the CDC, the NIH and the FDA.
Starting point is 00:35:10 But things took a turn when lawmakers asked him a simple question about vaccines, whether he would vaccinate his own kids against measles. Let's listen to what he had to say. For measles, probably for measles. I, you know, what I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant. You know, I don't want to seem like I'm being evasive. But I don't think people should be taking advice, medical advice from me. Right, no, I got that. And I'm not asking you to give them medical advice, but would you vaccinate your child for measles? I think if I answer that question directly, that it will seem like I'm giving advice to other people and I don't wanna be doing that.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I want people to make that. But that's kinda your jurisdiction, cause CDC. I mean that's an honest answer, because he's not a doctor. Like, and you don't have to be a doctor to be the US Secretary of Health and Human Services. No you don't, but if somebody asks you a question, will you, they just want your opinion. Like somebody says, do you give your kids, whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yes. Especially though, because he's telling other people to take vitamins, but he's getting his kids the vaccination. So that's what the big problem is. So he never answered the question? He never answered the question. He also dodged the question about whether or not he should, if you should give your kids like a chicken pox and all those other vaccines.
Starting point is 00:36:23 But this is coming as the US is facing the worst measles outbreak in years. And then he went on to claim that the CDC is doing better than any other country at handling it, which is very, very questionable. And so moving right along, so if you're a Walmart shopper, get ready. Prices on some everyday items
Starting point is 00:36:40 are about to go up this month. The company says they are feeling the squeeze from the rising tariffs on imported goods like electronics, toys, strollers, and even some food items, and they cannot absorb all the extra costs, so they're gonna pass that on to the consumer. The tariffs, they're of course part of Trump's
Starting point is 00:36:58 trade policies, which products from countries like China, Costa Rica, and Peru. Now even though some of the tariffs have been lowered, the remaining ones are still pushing up the cost of goods and that means higher prices for you at the checkout. Now Walmart says the biggest price change will hit late May and into June, though items again strollers, mattresses, toys mostly made overseas, those will likely cost more. The retail giant said it's doing everything to keep prices low, especially on groceries, but the trade war is hitting the retail industry very, very hard.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Wow. Yeah. Now, thank you Mimi. Now you also have a podcast that you're doing, correct? Correct. The Altadena with Love. Now break down this podcast and what made you want to do this podcast? So to Altadena with Love is like my love letter to the community of Altadena which is right
Starting point is 00:37:48 next to Pasadena. Most people have heard of Pasadena but not a lot of people have heard of Altadena which is literally right next to Pasadena. And the community of Altadena is a historic or was a historic black neighborhood that was burnt in the Eaton fire when you know in January when California was on fire. I went there as a journalist just to cover the story and when I got there I realized the devastation of the area and what I realized was everyone looked like me and these were a lot of older black
Starting point is 00:38:22 families that lived in multi-generational families that lost everything. And then when I started doing more research, I realized that this town existed because a lot of these families had moved there in the 1960s and 50s and they were redlined there. And they lost not only just their homes, but their community. And when you talk to them, when you talk to them, you find out that it was just more than a structure, right? It was a thriving, everyday community that was no longer there. And everybody, no matter what though, when they lost everything, they were looking out for each other, right? They were not worried about like, how am I going
Starting point is 00:39:01 to survive? They were like, you know what, we've got to take care of our elderly and we've got to make sure that this community comes back the way that it once was so for me I wanted to document that I wanted to talk to um all the people as much as many as people that I could to talk to them and find out um what this community truly means and um how we can share this information with the masses. I wonder how recovery efforts are going like oh is it slow because it was a black community? Like... Well, you know, it's funny you say that because in episode,
Starting point is 00:39:29 I did a bonus episode. So in episode six, I talked to a council member and he says, it's funny because when Trump visited California during the wildfires, he went to go see Malibu and he went to go see the Palisades. He did not come to Altadena. And so, you know, it's like the rhetoric behind Altadena was that it's a historic black neighborhood and somehow it was skipped over. He didn't come see it. But the recovery
Starting point is 00:39:51 process is underway, but there's still a lot of like insurance things. Insurance companies not covering, it's too expensive, people didn't have insurance, laps insurance. They didn't have insurance that covers certain particular fire. And what you have to remember is like I spoke to someone in episode two whose house he paid thirty three thousand dollars for his house. His house is worth two point one million dollars now. And so when you when you buy your house for that much and it's now when you deed the insurance money doesn't cover that much. So now you're stuck trying to figure out how to how to pay for that. So they only want to give him thirty three thousand they don't want to give him what the house they want to give him probably about 500 000
Starting point is 00:40:27 But the house was worth 2.1 million dollars. So what do you do, you know? Um, but I just you know in this series I wanted to humanize this community. It was really um, just a labor of love I wanted the world to understand what this community is going through and I wanted the world to understand that Altadena is, it was California's first black community. People think South Central or Baldwin Hills, but it was California's first black middle class neighborhood. It's crazy when you see stuff like that, it makes you wonder, was it a coincidence?
Starting point is 00:40:59 You know what I mean? Like when you see them wipe out a whole community and then wanna build high rises and make it hard for the people who lived in that community to come back, you just wonder, what are the coincidence? And it's funny you say that too, Charlotte, because in episode three, we talk about the disparities of when the alarm systems went out.
Starting point is 00:41:14 West Altadena was where the black people were redlined to. East Altadena is where the white people live. When you look at the disparities, that neighborhood, West Altadena, they didn't get the notifications until 330 in the morning But the east side they got them at 730 p.m. And enough time I talked to a lady who said at 445 a.m. She was she woke up walking through flames trying to get out of her home
Starting point is 00:41:36 Well, she said she only she could only muster up the strength because she didn't want her 87 year old father to find her In the home, you know, but the alarms the systems didn't go off. And so, you know, there's a there's a lot of there's a lot of investigation that still needs to go on. Now, how can they hear more about your podcast and really dive into it? Absolutely. You can go to to Alta Dena with love.com for more information, you can download it wherever you get your podcast. And please just listen to it. I think it is it is storytelling at its finest. It's not in my words These are the community these are these are their stories. They're telling their stories
Starting point is 00:42:10 It's I I introduce some you know a little bit of educational impact before it But then they come in and they tell you their stories in their own words of what happened So it is as I say the art of storytelling it takes you there It brings you right into that moment, what they were feeling, how they remember their community, and what happened that night to them. Mimi Brown, give me your Instagram and Twitter and all of that good stuff.

Starting point is 00:43:54 The jury year. Lord have mercy. What does that mean to y'all when y'all hear that? It's crazy to me because I always tell people, see this the first time in a minute we've been together and doing an interview, but I always say when I get interviewed I don't care what none of y'all say we didn't know what we was doing yeah all we were trying to see was who's called time was the next morning so we could go out get something to drink hang out for the night I was on the continuance from us so I knew we had
Starting point is 00:44:23 something special okay I had picked that up already. Plus, it was the first time, I'm looking at people that's coming up that I was watching, they worked the same way they was watching my work. When I did Oz, everybody was already kind of famous already. But when we got here, that made us, and I saw that work coming down.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I knew it. The thing with me, nobody don't know, The Wire was my first job as an actor. So that was my first time I ever audition for a role first job. So just being around these guys I'm like, yo, I remember asking JD a whole bunch of questions, bro. What is with what is a trailer, you know? Like rehearsal I'm like, alright, but you know, like I said man to be here 23 years later and still just get into it You know everybody healthy living and breathing, you know saying I mean, it's just it's a glad people finding new every day Somebody find the show here today. So it don't really
Starting point is 00:45:15 popular now Y'all knew it was gonna be a cultural staple that tough people didn't hear. I definitely, nah. I feel like it was. That's crazy. You can never tell me that. I ain't know that. You ain't never asked me. I ain't know that. Hell, you know it's like any thing.
Starting point is 00:45:32 But from the bottom of you, damn right, it's definitely a cultural staple. When you moving around anywhere in the world, though, they know you. You know what I mean? Like somebody might just stop and say, man, run them lines real quick. I mean, they throw you, they quote your lines.
Starting point is 00:45:45 So it's like, yeah, you know what, it's like the study part of it. Like when I first came on set, Trey had said, we was right there, we was at Trella, and we was running lines, and Trey was like, what else you been on? I was like, this is my first time out. He was like, first time out where?
Starting point is 00:45:59 I said, first time on the block. So we was shooting in the funeral home in Baltimore, like broad day, like funeral home, and we we was there a lot of people don't know the 12 hours. 12 hours hard days right. Turn around. Yeah turn around so we out there we bussing it and we ran the lines we were out there it was raining we take breakfast for lunch it was just a family and we still a family till the day. Yeah man. Now I want to start from the beginning the wire so when y'all got the call to do the wire break that down when y'all first read the script and how did y'all know that y'all wanted to do it?
Starting point is 00:46:27 So they I initially audition for we bet And I remember going in there with Pat Moran out there in Baltimore and she like yo quote this monologue So two weeks later, I get a call. She said we got some bad and good news She said the bad news is you didn't get the characters, Weebae, but you was cast for the character Poop. And I was only supposed to be in the first two episodes in the first season. And then, spoiler alert, you end up getting Poop
Starting point is 00:46:57 all five seasons, last man standing. You know what I'm saying? So I was just happy, you know, getting that script. And throughout the years, throughout the seasons, it never said I was getting killed. You know what I'm saying? Because that just happy you know getting that script and throughout the years throughout the seasons it never said I was getting killed Never knew They didn't tell you before they were just you get the script and you read that's like when snoop shot at me You know I'm saying they like poop falls to the ground. He's bleeding. I'm like, okay, this is it
Starting point is 00:47:21 Take this into consideration Trey how you just said that I don't know if y'all remember it or not, the Y almost ain't even take off. Yeah. Because we auditioned before 9-11. 9-11 might happen. That was shut down for three weeks. But the thing is, the callbacks was after they opened the city back up, Alexa Fogle office
Starting point is 00:47:43 started throwing us back. I forgot all about this. So when I went in I auditioned for D'Angelo. Oh wow. Shout out to Larry Giller. See down there it was open because Baltimore was open. So actually when I auditioned I auditioned for Marlo Stanfield. I auditioned for Marlo and then when I got the call, they called me back, I was actually coming back from Houston with Steve Francis. And I got the call, Pep was like, hey baby, you out.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Exactly how she talks. I got good news, I got good news. And she was like, you just landed Slim Charles on HBO, and that was it. There was no movement. Not character one, Slim Charles. Slim Charles. Alexa told me. You didn't character one, that that was it. It was a big movie. Not character one, Slim Charles. Slim Charles. Alexa told me.
Starting point is 00:48:25 You didn't character one, that ain't it. She told me I was gonna be Bodhi. Like I said, I wanted to audition for D'Angelo because I was like, I just came from playing a tough guy for all these years. Like, y'all gonna make me worse than I was already? And then she was like, no, this your part, read this part, just go and do your job.
Starting point is 00:48:42 I went in, came out, and they built on the character so much that I didn't know where it was gonna go. But I'm glad it was on. Because in my audition, I think David Simon leaned over the clock and said, he leaned over the clock and said, Weebae, and I was so hot, because I was tearing my up, I was in the zone.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I'm about to put up with this Weebae. I caught myself, I'm like, yo, hold on, relax. But you know when you in the room, that's your moment. You can go off in there. You can go off as long as it's taken or so. They threw me off, but I caught it. But that's what they was saying. Like, oh, he's that guy, you're this guy, you're that guy.
Starting point is 00:49:19 But you gotta get in character though. Cause like, that was my first audition. So when I read for Marlo, they was like, come in, you don't care about nothing, hoodie, so I threw my hoodie on, I went in there and read for it, and I was like, what's your name? I said Marlo.
Starting point is 00:49:36 He said, what's your name? I said Marlo. She said, I said, what the ****, don't you understand my name, Marlo? It's like you auditioned for Roots. I'm like, we ain't messing with each other like that. How much of the script was improv though? How much of y'all improv? Did y'all go off script?
Starting point is 00:49:51 Because none of it seemed like... Not a lot. See, I don't know I can't speak to it. Improv, that's how ill it was. It was all on the paper. They would let me get away. He would let me get away with a lot of stuff. But I would test it out first. I would use it on one take and then if they don't like it, they just say don't do that. But then most of the time they say, say that again.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Or do that again. A lot of times I used to like it. And that was because also with the dynamic that my group, my crew had, we had this fill up kind of space, you know what I'm saying? We got Andre Royal, Bubs over here acting up. Here we got us having this communication. Then we got the young boys, so it was always something in there.
Starting point is 00:50:26 But most of the time, like you said, especially because we had to figure out that B-Mod dialect. A lot of times. How was that? That was hard. We ain't trying. I tried. Grand opening, grand closing.
Starting point is 00:50:38 We ain't doing it. I'm saying, so it's kind of hard for us. It's hard for New Yorkers to get the action. But see, I'm from DC, so it's like you chew the dog. You know, you can get it chewed. You know what I mean? You can stay like a damn DJ. You can't.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Baltimore will pull your neck out if they know you faking it. You can't drag it too long with it. You just gotta do it. See, like even with New York, like when I did The Deuce, I had to learn dialogue, you know what I mean? We shot that, we shot that in Brooklyn and then we went to Silver Cup in Queens.
Starting point is 00:51:13 So I shot that whole show. We was back there, we did it, and it's just like, you gotta sit outside of New York to smell the air, to know what a New Yorker go through to feel it. You gotta get into that character. So it's like, bam. It's right here. We hear was next. I get stuck with that accent I think that depends on the era in New York We're still kicking it with the cast of The Wire. So what was it like filming in Baltimore?
Starting point is 00:51:47 It was fun. No, that was fun. Yeah. Shout out to Baltimore. Everybody was standing out. They got the food coming out. Memphis getting his hair braided outside. They open you up, but when you messing that money up,
Starting point is 00:52:03 they'll let you know. Y'all got to go the up block, yo. Yo, let's go. Let's go. Right, right. Yeah, like really, they was like really serious. We had to shut down for a little 10 minutes, but yeah, they wasn't packing up, though.
Starting point is 00:52:15 They wanted you. What about, hold up, bro. I mean, it sounded like it was a rain, a little quick rainstorm. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna let you be IG. What about the rats? What about the rats?
Starting point is 00:52:24 Let's go. You got all about food. Hold on, let me say this one time. The rats. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Banger, Felicia, couple of other people and they ordered pizza. Yup. Bro, they had like 10 pizzas on the d***. It was like the pizza that Cole delivered to the door. A rat this big, bro. And B-Move. Jumped up on the table, knocked the pizza down, and he like, boom. Then they just came. They just wrapped it up. They f***ed up lunch
Starting point is 00:53:02 that night. They bully J.R.A.D. They nicked it in the hand. We was nothing. They f***ed up lunch that night. They bully Joe. They take care of him. We eat up the pizza. He jumped on the Joe, knocked the whole boxes off, and then everybody just bumped big joints first. Big Ben. He jumped up and knocked everything down. Big Ben. And then Mike Seen with the shootout when I shot Mike, you know where he shoot me? There's a rat running across the s*** the background, cause I got scared to death. And I look back and say, oh, but you see it in the episode.
Starting point is 00:53:28 The jokes like this in Be Mo. Looking like he clear. This like dogs. That's true. That ain't no damn puppy. Did y'all recognize the greatness in Idris back then? Did y'all see where it could go, or was something like? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Yeah, because Idris was funny. I met him. Idris talking regular, with a regular accent right and got on the phone with his daughter mother and I stopped walking down the block he just started talking that that chatting started dead London and I stopped He kept walking. He finally looked back like, what? I was like, where you from? You over here acting like you from the Bronx or something. He was practicing on us. So I knew it right there. He was one of the ones. One of the things, it was a scene where we did, me and him sitting in the car, it's a
Starting point is 00:54:08 scene where a character does this with my waist. And we was sitting in that car for a couple of hours and we was just talking. And I remember us getting to the point I was like yo cuz he wanted to have this magazine in the car I ain't gonna get too deep about it they told him not to have it because of who was on it right so he was like I'm going after this anyway anyway we're gonna leave that alone so anyway we in the car and I'm like you know when you leave here you you gonna be that guy like he like well I think a couple of us gonna do it I'm like yeah but like you kind of like right under
Starting point is 00:54:47 Denzel looking crazy because when it was time for his character that you know to happen he didn't want that he did that morning cuz we was film we film that whole morning. No right. Yeah came under trouble he was like Because we used to film they do the tandems now so they do these blocks where you can shoot two or three episodes in a week. We really shot the two-week episode. So we started on a Monday, and we wrapped the next week Thursday. And then it was a rehearsal Friday, and back at it on Monday the 13th time. So if they're gonna change something, they're changing it with an act.
Starting point is 00:55:44 So what the thing is, look, when we wrapped on an episode, your new script's in your trailer. So team time. So team time. So team time. If they gonna change something, they change it within that. They change it within that. So what the thing is, look, when we wrapped on an episode, your new script's in your trailer. Your new script right in your trailer. It's right there already. So look, everybody started catching on to doing this. Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:55 I said. I said. I told you. That was hard. That **** stick their head out that trailer, man. You good? You good? You good?
Starting point is 00:56:03 She going out tonight. Yeah. Somebody always was like that. It was tough, bro. Yeah. No, man. They had out there, you good? You good? You good? She going out tonight. Somebody always was like that. It was tough, bro. Nah. You know what happened. Whoever getting killed off that day, they ain't opening that door.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Damn. They ain't opening that door. It was like that. It was really like, they'd be like, oh, that's what you're calling it. I'm taking you out tonight. Friends on up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:23 So how did Andres treat y'all afterwards? Did he ever, did he just like distance himself from y'all after that? No. Well he was gone. He was gone. He was still gone. He was still gone.
Starting point is 00:56:31 He was still to reach him though. Yeah. See nobody's always reachable bro. Yeah. We're a family. That's real. It's just like the plate just get kinda thick and you gotta work.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Like we always talk. Yeah. You know what I mean? We talk, we talk. You know what I mean? Like yeah. Idris did the intro for my documentary under now with a tre Cheney story Which all of us are part are part of and um reaching out to him It wasn't it wasn't hard to you know reach out to him because you know started together
Starting point is 00:56:56 Yeah, he might be across the pond Really was it was a good look for me. My daughter was a young kid at the time. Yeah It was a good look for me. And Michael B. Jordan was a young kid at the time. Yeah. Baby boy. And his death. I was working with him and seeing his success. Well for me, I mean, me, him and JD always
Starting point is 00:57:11 was together on set. Even my separate scenes that I had with Michael B. Jordan, it was, you know, he was special. You know what I'm saying? You knew. But you seen that early. Yeah. I used to ride in the trailer with him and his mom on set.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Cause I didn't have too many scenes with him, but I used to kick it with his mother. Oh yeah yeah. I love how family oriented he was. Michael B baby bro. Mom, Duke, I love you. I don't know where you at. She the one got him together.
Starting point is 00:57:34 She the one. Yeah. Mom's was, yeah. And it was good money because like he said he had a lot of big brothers to watch out for him. And what he was doing, like the way, me and him, like he used to come out with me all the time, she used to let him come out with me. I took him to Vegas, we went to Magic,
Starting point is 00:57:49 you know all the little places in Miami. Cause he was one of the younger ones, right? Yeah, he was 14. And so we was always around, but we all got together and he came up with the right mindset and so he was like set up pretty good from going off. But when we did the scene we took him out, he thought he was gonna never work again.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Yeah. He says that. He says that in front of him, like, bro, I was sudden. I was never gonna work again. I ain't think I was gonna work again. Yeah, he just said that. The ability that he felt at that time to heat a man right now is crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:58:17 Yeah, because he was messed up behind that. Yeah, man. He was only on one season, right? He did one season. Yeah, season one. He ain't got on drugs and everything. We smoked him in episode 12, right? Yeah. Yeah, towards the end. That was the first season? He did one season. Yeah, he did one. He ain't got on drugs and everything. We smoked him in episode 12, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Yeah, it was the end. That was the first season? Yeah. And we sat up, we hugged him up, right? But then we told him, we said, look man, after this episode go off, they gonna be looking for your name in the credits. And nobody never gonna forget you.
Starting point is 00:58:40 They always gonna be looking for you. You think the wire could be made today in like the same raw way? I would have to be sensitive to death. Nah, because it wasn't in HD. But literally speaking, it's raw. But yeah, that too. Another city maybe, not Baltimore again.
Starting point is 00:58:57 I think it would have to be a whole nother city. I don't even think they'd let them be like they was. How we were. It was too authentic. It was. Nah. It was too authentic. It was too authentic. It was too authentic. Like that thing was saying something. And when you start.
Starting point is 00:59:10 I wanna talk about spinoffs and reboot to the wire. What's your opinion on that? Spinoffs and reboots or? But that's when you had said something else, y'all. I mean, where would you start, Envy? Where would you pick it up at? Michael Caine out here, which I'm sure would be a real center stone, rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Michael K right? That's who you would definitely have to have right? He gone, Lance gone, there's so many people there right? But where would you start? Even if you try to pick up off where it left off with Mac right, with Tristan, when he killed Snoop, he was supposed to be like the fool. You could follow him, or you could follow Marlo, wherever he gonna hide out at.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yeah, cause Marlo got out. I bought the Kinect at the end, from Marlo, one of the Vincitum and Jam. But it was crazy, cause the whole pod was when Prop Joe, you know, when Mef, when he did that, not kill Mef, to kill Cheese, everything was flipping around, cause we had the co-op, we was sitting in, it was killed Mef, I killed Cheese, everything was flipping around because we had the co-op. We was sitting in, it was all us at first,
Starting point is 01:00:08 Bodhi, all us, we was together, and then everything just started spinning off. People just like going out. Even my character, the character Arc, from going from the street. You said Footlocker. Yeah, I ended up working at Footlocker. So you never know, you know.
Starting point is 01:00:19 You're just a footlocker, so it's like, the Cuddy character could come back. I think you take somebody and move them to another city. Yeah. That's what you do. Coming coming up Brick City. We're still kicking it with the cast of the wires now I gotta ask about this meme right here. We bait Right because nobody understood it Understood it, but then it started catching on, especially with the younger kids. I was like, hold on, I gotta get my uncle on with the shorties.
Starting point is 01:00:48 I gotta explain, I gotta educate them to wear that fucker. They'll be like, that's you from the meme, but they don't know where it's from. You know what I mean? I'll be like, oh, well, this is the dopest show in the world. Not because I was on it, but because it's dope. You know, they go check it out.
Starting point is 01:01:02 So it made it timeless. The memes just made everything timeless. It don't get old. It don't get old. They don't get old until I can't front. I wanted to ask y'all since y'all mentioned them. How did the loss of Michael K. Williams and Pacquiao? Man, it was tough.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I was mad. It crushed so, remember when y'all was on the balcony in LA? So they was on the phone, FaceTime, talking to JD, Trey, Mike. And I had just talked to Mike two days before that, because he was like, some people was looking for me for a role, and he was like, bro, we down here, you gotta get down here. Get out of that city, come down.
Starting point is 01:01:37 And I was like, wow, I was, and then he called me about another piece that they was trying to get me to work on with my band. Right. Back yard DC, so after that, I talked to Trey the tray and we was talking and then I had just talked to him and snooped in Ahead but that don't crush me. Yeah, it crushed me man Williams he was doing Michael K. Williams wasn't an industry person No, he was he was more so like bro. How's your mom, dad, your wife, your kids?
Starting point is 01:02:06 Like he was that with, that was my brother, man. And talking to him weeks before that he passed, it was just like what? I hit a hard. You understand what I'm saying, Charlotte? Why you say they slimed him? What you mean? Well, like the people that served him, they slimed him because they knew what they was doing. They knew who Mike was. And it was all out of bounds. And anybody with a heart, that's why when they did catch up, caught up with them, I didn't feel bad at all. Yo, K-Pop fans, it's your boy,

This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Ed Helms is here. I, of course, was drawn to the LSD story. In the 1950s, the CIA scientists secretly bought the entire world supply of LSD, embarking on a horrific attempt
Starting point is 01:04:50 to discover the secrets to mind control. This is so insane. This was all under official government activity. They built a apartment in San Francisco that had a glass mirror where he could sit there and watch, and then they would drug these customers and he was just sort of taking notes and God knows what else behind this double mirror
Starting point is 01:05:11 and this was all in the name of science. This just sounds like a guy g***ing off behind a wall. It does. I would just also like to say if you don't have to take LSD like this, LSD can be microdosed. It's like an upper of energy, enthusiasm,
Starting point is 01:05:26 makes you less nervous if I'm going heli-skiing. If it allows me to go heli-skiing, then yeah. I'm hella on board. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I found out I was related to the guy that I was dating. I don't feel emotions correctly. I am talking to a felon right now, and I cannot decide if I like him or not.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Those were some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world as a fake gecko therapist and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept, but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot. Matter of fact, here's a few more examples of the kinds of calls we get on this show.
Starting point is 01:06:14 I live with my boyfriend and I found his piss jar in our apartment. I collect my roommates' toenails and fingernails. I have very overbearing parents. Even at the age of 29, they won't let me move out of their house. So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head and see what's going on in someone else's head,
Starting point is 01:06:32 search for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the one with the green guy on it. I'm under the jail. I know hustlers gotta feed they family, but y'all slime my bro. I wanna ask y'all, how hard was it to break out of your WIRE characters when it came time to audition for other roles?
Starting point is 01:06:51 Man, I'm gonna tell y'all, man, the WIRE ended in 2008. I didn't work again what they would consider mainstream into 2015 when I booked Saints and Sinners, which was a six season show, a job. But being, you know, what they call typecast or whatever. All right. I'm going in the rooms with the casting directors, with the directors, producers, but with me not like booking certain jobs or whatever, I just started creating my own.

We own this city, BMF.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Because I stood on the streets of Washington DC from 2010 to 2015 Selling all of my independent films off the trunk of my car That was something most celebrities wouldn't dare do you know so it's people walking up like man you pull from the wire What you doing out here?

Starting point is 01:09:22 What made them speak like this. Even if we all got an idea of why they recorded these records or why they were speaking like that, it has to be the backstory, the mindset of why these 19 year old brothers were doing this.

Sometimes she has facts, sometimes she has details, sometimes she has a little bit of everything.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right, so a big part yesterday was them going through text messages, the defense attorneys, because they were, right now, they are fighting to prove that Cassie was a willing participant in the freak offs, that there was no force, there was no coercion. So they going through these text messages, basically it was a ton of them. And she's in the text messages saying she's down for the freak offs.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Also she's in these text messages planning, but like, you know how she said Puff was the ultimate choreographer of these things. She's giving very much Laurieann Gibson. She was choreographing her her dang self in these text messages. So what they did was, which I thought was like, again, brilliant, and it blew the prosecution's setup up. The day that Diddy and Cassie got into that fight at the Intercontinental Hotel, the video that CNN dropped, when the prosecution presented the narrative around it, like, okay, let's give y'all some background info they only use like three texts from the day of March 5th. The defense attorneys was like let's go
Starting point is 01:15:31 back to March 3rd and let's lead you into where the prosecutors y'all talked about text messages. Now 2017 right? 2016. 16. Yes so in the text messages Cassie and Diddy are having a conversation days leading in and you know she's they're like sexting and a lot of the explicit text messages, Cassie and Diddy are having a conversation, days leading in and you know, they're like sexting and a lot of the explicit text messages they wouldn't read in court so I don't know exactly what she was saying, but they were sexting a bit. She sent, I believe it was four or five sexual text messages, like she's initiating that. Puff is really going some like, I'm proud of you because she did have that big movie premiere coming up.
Starting point is 01:16:01 So he's like, I'm proud of you, you got this weekend coming up, they talking about like accessories for her outfit. And then she's like, so it gets to the weekend, right gets to the day that they did that freak off. And she's trying to figure out what her plans are. And he's like, Okay, well, I'm down to do whatever you want to do. Let me know what you got going on. So she's like, I want to see my baby. And then then they start and this now they're having a conversation about the freak off. And he's telling her, since you want to do this, you plan it. Call the guy from the the male escort service they were using, Cowboys or something like
Starting point is 01:16:30 that and grab get who you want. You set up how to how how this one is going to go. He even said to her in text messages, like, if you want, we can sit back and just watch. Like we don't have to even participate. And they asked her, they was like, Okay, so what does that mean? Like, sit back and just watch. There were also text messages from another time. So that created a whole different narrative around it,
Starting point is 01:16:49 right? But there were also text messages. Remember she talked about being forced to do it on her period and stuff like that. There was text messages where she mentioned being on her period and he didn't force her to do anything on her period. He kind of like backed off of it.
Starting point is 01:17:01 He was like, okay, bad, like cool. The text messages that they showed yesterday in court, that whole force that coercion thing it blew that up No, I listen. I'm just being objective here, right? Did he's legal team has already conceded to some aspects of his conduct. Yes I'm sure so they're just trying to say in regards to Cassie. It wasn't coercion. It was consensual Correct now those text messages go all the way back to 2009. Yes, they even before, they had like 2007 I think at some time.
Starting point is 01:17:30 Okay, so the ones that are from 2017, all Cassie is gonna say is that she said whatever needed to be said because if she didn't comply, he would beat her up or be violent to her. She already admitted that she loved him. She said she also was afraid of him. That's typical in an abusive relationship. 100%. It shows that she was involved and that she wasn't being forced.
Starting point is 01:17:50 But I think they knew that. But what if she was afraid? When she texts him to say, next time she texts Sam and they ask... But when she texts him to ask about it, I think it's going to show that she wanted to do it just as much as he wanted to do it. No, but she already has contextualized that. She contextualized that her first couple of days in court by saying I did Whatever I had to do and said what I had to say in order not to get my freaking
Starting point is 01:18:10 Facebeats, but I think I think so seeing that and that's what I'm saying cuz like for instance there was one section 2009 That's the one where she says I'm to correct it That's the one where she directly says I'm always down to freak off and then later She talks about how she wants it to be like she wants it dirty dirty, like she wants it aggressive, she wants it whatever. So that you know why they did that. Because they're trying to show if he was aggressive at all, she asked for that. But she was down with it. Yeah, but I just think that, like in the in the text messages leading up to the intercontinental video, he was so gentle in the conversation. Like there was no she didn't want another woman, a woman in that position. She didn't
Starting point is 01:18:44 want him with any other woman. She wanted to be the only woman. there was no- But she also said she didn't want another woman in that position. She didn't want him with any other woman. She wanted to be the only woman. Yeah. But see, but the Cassie thing, you know, I don't think it's gonna be an explosive as Dawn and James Crews, right? And the reason I think Dawn Richard, cause they both announced yesterday
Starting point is 01:18:56 that they're gonna be on the witness stand is there was no that we know of relationship. So this is straight off of, there is no, I don't have to say no. You might find out why Q was crying in that Vlad TV interview, right? Yeah, it's a thing with James Cruz James Cruz was the manager. Yeah Is calling James Cruz and the fact that the prosecution
Starting point is 01:19:14 Kathy said that James Cruz and D rock cried when they saw her get beat up But listen, can it get more explosive than on the nipple another man? The oil be warmed up yes because Dawn Richards was there and she has there's no love for him so she's not letting anything back I'm sure Cassie's still being a little sensitive but James Cruz and Dawn those will be exposed. And also too, you said something. James Cruz was his ex manager. You said something about you know Diddy was being in text messages. That means nothing because we saw the hotel video. So you can be gentle in a text message, but then in person. No, no, no. The only reason I brought that up is because we saw the hotel video, but when Cassie talked
Starting point is 01:19:53 about the hotel video in court, the way that she framed how the lead up to that was, like even their interaction while she was on stand, she did, it came off as very much like, oh my God, I'm just here. I don't want to be here my body is being like used bruised and like I like almost like literally like a sex slave almost but then you see the conversation and he's like we shouldn't do the freak off because you got this big movie premiere we should let's start early so you can get some rest you gotta take it basically he's trying to look out for her in that situation wanted to do the freak off right before she went to work.
Starting point is 01:20:27 But he kept saying that he was like, too bad you got work, too bad you got work. We should do it early. You should get rest. But her narrative was completely different. Even though we that video, it just makes you think like I'm because they also brought in basically what's your motive? Is it vengeance? Because she they they read another text about Kim Porter. Cassie was upset that she never got to spend holidays With Diddy and Ken Porter did and it was apparent that she felt the way about the woman Gina
Starting point is 01:20:50 Which is what broke up their relationship Michael B Jordan got some strays in here It was revealed that they had a meeting with Kit Cuddy before they blew up a car. They Allegedly they they went to dinner with Kit Cuddy puffs at the both down and wanted to have a conversation about the relationship they brought that up yesterday because Did she made it seem like he sat them down because he's big bag Puff trying to scare him. The Fin said no, he sat y'all down because he introduced y'all. He felt the way about that. He put you in the studio with him and then you start, you go grab a burner phone and start dealing with him. Of course he's
Starting point is 01:21:16 gonna sit y'all down. The Kid Cudi saying in that meeting, well why you burning my car? No, the car thing hadn't happened yet. He said what about my car? Cause I think Cassie had kind of warned him. Like he said, this is gonna happen. And Puff was like, I don't know what you're talking about. What car? I guarantee you today, all the prosecution is gonna say, they're gonna ask Cassie questions. And Cassie is gonna say, she told Diddy,
Starting point is 01:21:34 whatever she needed to tell him because she was afraid. 100%. That's I guarantee you. 100%. How she possibly doing? G-Money didn't want to be down no more. You know what I mean? And when he didn't want to be down no more, he started doing his mean? And when he didn't want to be down no more and started doing his own thing, you know, took him to
Starting point is 01:21:47 the roof. Will she be penalized because she was down at one point? Who's a light skin cute account though? You! The tapes ain't come out yet. We got eight more weeks baby! We got eight more weeks! You hear me Lauren? My thing is will she be penalized because she was down at one point? That's what Envy is kind of asking too. I asked and I was told that there's rumors that there was a conversation about immunity with her but I'm going to try and get some more confirmed information on that because

Starting point is 01:25:14 Treat them like what? Got you Like the world is beating our melanated men up like crazy. I'm so tired of hearing them speak their silent tears because what I do as a profession, I speak to melanated men daily and their homes of their melanated women that's in their life is not a safe space.

That's because of Hakeem. Hakeem Elijah one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was born in Houston. I was born in Houston but my family was a big rock...they were both big Rockets fans and yeah, just one thing led to another. First name is...well, last name is not first name. Got you, got you.
Starting point is 01:30:58 So his name left Elijah one. Yeah, it was. It was. My father, he was born in South Memphis and he changed his name during the Black Panthers when he was about 24 change his name for Robert Rutledge to Kwame Adjanku and now I'm a large one Adjanku. Yeah, they want the slave master name. What's your ancestry? Yeah, 40% Nigerian. Okay, okay But it's it's a Ghanaian name. Okay, but but but it's a split in between the two. They were just big Houston Rockets Oh, yeah, and then when I first met Earl, I didn't realize that I never met a young Earl before You ain't growing to it yet You still look too young for Earl, but I got a son on the way He gonna be Earl too I mean DMX made it a classic name
Starting point is 01:31:55 So how did you guys get into the golf what made you say golf is a sport that I want to do I want to try I love and talk about that your passion for golf Yeah, a friend of the family introduced me to the game I grew up with his sons playing golf. We all end up getting golf scholarships to college But the thing was we end up playing basketball and golf growing up So we were really competitive and it was just on the east side of Atlanta I mean it was a way to stay out of the streets for real like off Bouldercrest Road, you know east side It was tough, but right when I leave,
Starting point is 01:32:25 because right when I leave the golf course, I mean the hood is right there. But when I'm at the golf course, like it was positive influences always at the golf course. I didn't really have that as much at home, but why not go to the golf course and actually get that? So judges, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, these are the people that I'm looking up to.
Starting point is 01:32:43 Like how are these people at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday just out and about doing their own thing and now it was golf. So I just wanted to be a part of that and have that to be a part of my life. So that's what really just pushed me to it. Yeah, and you're from Delaware. Yeah, yeah, I'm from Delaware.
Starting point is 01:32:59 Really? Yeah, yeah. I didn't know people really was from there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm from that lower. Yeah. I told you he was gonna do that. I'm number two. How long you there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Until I met Lauren. Yeah. I told you he was going to do that. I'm number two. How long you?
Starting point is 01:33:07 There's only two of us. But we're there. Oh, and Biden. I didn't claim to. I didn't claim Biden. Two black people. No, two black people. But you play golf too, right?
Starting point is 01:33:15 Yeah, yeah. I started playing golf at the age of six, inner city youth golf program. It was called the LPGA Urban Youth Golf Program. And my parents just signed me up. Nobody in my family played. And I often like to say I'm happy that my dad didn't listen to a six year old because left up to me,
Starting point is 01:33:29 I was like, I don't wanna do this. Where are all my friends? Where everybody look like me? But he kept me in it. And then at 13, I ended up winning the golf channel Drive Chip and Putt, which was like a free trip to Disney World. I was on TV and I'm like, man,
Starting point is 01:33:41 if every golf tournament like this, I'm ready to practice. You know, was fortunate enough, Elijah Juan and I you know had a golf scholarship to Morales College and played on the golf team there and that's where we met. Break that down for you, you said it was called the Inner City? It was called the LPGA which is Ladies Professional Golf Association. So they had a ladies major event in Wilmington called the McDonald Championship and they created like a non-profit off of that And it was that urban youth golf program. So again, just trying to get young kids involved in the game.
Starting point is 01:34:12 And then for us, I'll say that's what also kind of helped shape our point of view. Like, because everyone's like, well, how did y'all get here? And these programs are great, but you need an evolved adult, right? Like all of you all have kids, so you're not just going to drop, call it a 10 year old you need an evolved adult, right? Like all of you all have kids, so you're not just gonna drop, call it a 10 year old, off at a golf course, right? The average age is a 50 year old white man, right? And then you come back and you're like, what happened, right?
Starting point is 01:34:33 So it takes an evolved adult, and that's one of the things that we're always constantly encouraging people, like, go with the kid. You know what I mean? Whatever that may be. So a lot of our focus has been on young professionals, not necessarily just the kids, because we don't even make kids clothes just yet I wonder how much Tiger Woods made people feel like influence people influence people to touch reach out the young black kids and try
Starting point is 01:34:53 To get them involved and go I mean he was yeah everything for us like coming up Tiger Woods was you know He dominated he made us want to watch it. You know you want to be just like Tiger When I mean the catalyst for me when I was 13 Actually, I was playing golf at it's across from East Lake Country Club in Atlanta where they hold the tour championship I definitely got to come out for that but across from their Charlie Yates Junior Academy in 2001 actually got sponsored by Nike to go up to Chicago I got a 30 minute lesson from
Starting point is 01:35:25 Tiger Woods and Earl Woods at the time when his father was still here. So I mean, ever since then, I just been on it. You know, I've been hungry for the game. I mean, everything that it entitles as far as like gives you, you know, and just the people that it surrounds you that surrounds you because you play it. So yeah, it's no it's no wonders for me. But what made you all want to stick with it though right because I know you said if you when you were six you wouldn't want to do it it's born that's the first thing that you know people argue and if they say about it what made y'all want to stick with it y'all actually have a golfing brand like what people are
Starting point is 01:35:58 buying is y'all got stores about to open up and airports and everything y'all still about to have y'all perro and what Nordstrom is right now. Yeah, right here in New York. What made y'all want to stick with that? You don't really see a lot of us in golf, right? Yeah. So honestly for me, golf changed my life. I mean, as far as temperament, resilience, you know, I mean, everything that I am as far as like just hard work and structure I mean because when you look at golf in every shot that you take in golf it's individual you know what I'm saying you
Starting point is 01:36:33 can't look at the entire thing as you get lost but that's just like life you got to take it one step at a time a day at a time you know and golf just taught me to be real.

This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Ed Helms is here. I of course was drawn to the LSD story. In the 1950s, the CIA scientists secretly bought the entire world supply of LSD, embarking on a horrific attempt to discover the secrets to mind control. This is so insane.
Starting point is 01:39:01 This was all under like official government activity. They built a apartment in San Francisco that had a glass mirror where he could sit there and watch. And then they would drug these customers and he was just sort of taking notes and God knows what else behind this double mirror. And this was all in the name of science. This just sounds like a guy off behind a wall. It does.
Starting point is 01:39:24 I would just also like to say off behind a wall. It does. I would just also like to say if you don't have to take LSD like this, LSD can be microdosed. It's like an upper of energy, enthusiasm, makes you less nervous if I'm going heli-skiing. If it allows me to go hella-skiing, then yeah, I'm hella on board.
Starting point is 01:39:40 Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I found out I was related to the guy that I was dating. I don't feel emotions correctly. I am talking to a felon right now and I cannot decide if I like him or not. Those were some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world as a fake gecko therapist and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives.
Starting point is 01:40:11 I know that's a weird concept, but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot. Matter of fact, here's a few more examples of the kinds of calls we get on this show. I live with my boyfriend and I found found his pizjar in our apartment. I collect my roommates' toenails and fingernails. I have very overbearing parents. Even at the age of 29, they won't let me move out of their house. So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head
Starting point is 01:40:37 and see what's going on in someone else's head, search for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the one with the green guy on it. Really intricate on each single detail. And that's, I literally just relate that over to my professional career as far as corporate finance, when I was in that, about to become VP of sales,
Starting point is 01:40:59 over to here running a business, you know, there's steps to it and you have to build systems to be successful. And it's crazy. I use all of those things from golf to relay it onto my business and it's been working. When do you take the step to be professional as far as a golfer, right? You know, you see all these people, everybody's into golf and when is it professional? And break it down a little bit. Like we all know basketball, we know there's a draft, we all know football, we know there's a draft, we know baseball,. We know there's a draft We know baseball you go into the D League or the farm league as they call it
Starting point is 01:41:28 So how does golf work when it comes to that because you were a person one time? So I'm a PGA professional So what me so PGA professionals are the men and women and we're experts in the golf business So at every golf course there there's a person that managed that and so more that's what I did so you get your PGA certification it's 28,000 PGA members across the country out of that 28,000 there's roughly like 300 African Americans right so the number is you know that's less than half of 1% right so there's definitely a lot of work to be done there but that's what I'm considered a PGA professional versus Elijah Juan, you wanna explain it?
Starting point is 01:42:08 Yeah, I mean the reason that I started this brand was I mean back when I, after I graduated from Morehouse, major was accounting, monitoring, finance. I turned pro in golf, I did that for a couple of years, won a couple of mini tour events, but got to a point I just couldn't afford it anymore. You know, taking up odd jobs, cart boy, caddyingying like hustling however, I can get it to fund my golf career Last time me and my mom got an argument. She was like, you know, it's about that time you get a job
Starting point is 01:42:32 You know what I'm saying? And so had to stop that and I started my finance career I was in commercial finance for about ten years But it got to a point. Like I said, I wanted to play professional golf, but I knew it would be hard to find sponsors. So to your point, the only way to turn pro is to have sponsors in the game. You got to be good enough where a sponsor finds you pretty much. Absolutely, absolutely. And it's full circle for me, actually, I'm turning back pro in golf in June.
Starting point is 01:42:59 That's the reason I started the brand because I was like, if I can't find any sponsors, why not take the entrepreneur out and sponsor myself? So now I have a Southern company in Georgia Power being one of my sponsors for Professional Golf, along with a couple of other companies in Atlanta. But it's, I mean, the whole thing is sponsorship is dollars. If you can raise that and that company can see what they can really get out of you where it comes like a certain type of customer or a certain type of feel, they'll pay you for it.
Starting point is 01:43:30 All right, we got more with Eastside Golf. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Eastside Golf, Olajuwon Ajinaku and Earl Cooper.
Starting point is 01:43:45 Charlamagne? I love both of y'all, I love y'all stories because y'all represent, I like when people get into an industry and they show all sides of the industry. Because when I hear PGA Professional, I'm thinking that's a player. Right. That's what I mean, that's what I see.
Starting point is 01:43:56 Not somebody who does the business. Yeah. And that's like damn, there's so many different ways for us to be involved in this sport. Yeah, no, I completely agree and I feel like that's one of the things that I'll say really just excites me about our business is the fact that we're having an impact on the sport without actually playing it. Right.
Starting point is 01:44:17 And so it's kind of like a basketball analogy would be like, we working in the front office. Right. And so we're getting everyone excited and bringing everyone along with us. Right. Like when you think about when the brand started, it was right before COVID. And then, you know, our first viral moment was Chris Paul wearing it head to toe when he was a player, when he was the president of NBA Players Association, the night of the boycott of the event that happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin. And so like that's, that's how we kind of went viral, but it was through basketball. and then from there, you know
Starting point is 01:44:46 We got hooked up with Michael Jordan and we've had like CC Sabathe, Victor Cruz You know Peckas, Steve Stout like you name it all of these guys are like we see exactly what you guys are doing Right, like you are bringing in people into the game culturally relevant in a way Like our tagline is be authentic. So that's all we require. Let me ask you a question. I can think of times, right? Like when I was younger, me and my now wife
Starting point is 01:45:13 walking into restaurants in South Carolina, seeing nothing but white people in there, nothing but white people working there, and saying to ourselves, yeah, this ain't for us. And I remember one time in particular, we went to one and it was like, oh no, we leaving. And the waitress was like, the woman at the door was like, why y'all leaving?
Starting point is 01:45:28 Because it's too many white people. And I was like, yeah. The golf course probably is 10 times as intimidating as that just because it's like, we don't see each other out there. So if a couple of guys just pull up on the golf course, are they going to be welcomed? Yeah, I mean, well, so they have private country clubs
Starting point is 01:45:44 and then they have municipalities, as he once said, public parks, well, so they have private country clubs and then they have municipalities, as he once said, public parks, downtown, which you pay your tax dollars on. That's where we need to be starting this. A lot of those golf courses are definitely welcoming. They know it's your first time coming out there and on top of that, some of these golf courses have, bucket of balls might be 12 bucks
Starting point is 01:46:00 and play it against sports. Cheap for some balls. Yeah. Pause. Play it. Pause. What's wrong with y'all? Grow up, y'all. Pause. What's y'all problem, y'all? bucks and play it again sports and balls yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah But it's cheap, like, we can't continue on something. So downtown, bucket of golf balls might be 12 bucks, but then you can go to Play It Again Sports and get a whole thing of clubs, 14 clubs, for $100, $125. And this is an investment, you know, like, whatever,
Starting point is 01:46:35 and I see this all the time, whatever you do with your life, I don't care what you do, if you play golf, it will increase that revenue. It will increase whatever opportunities you have. Break that down, why? So many different types of people play golf. it will increase that revenue. It will increase whatever opportunities you have. Why? So many different types of people play golf. I mean, I've met guys that own movie companies, guys, investors out in Palo Alto.
Starting point is 01:46:54 I mean, all the way over to being at Liberty National, the firemen family that sold Reebok. All of these different types of people play golf, doctors, lawyers, these same type of people that I grew up seeing, but the connection that they have in their circle. I mean, if you play golf, you can go out, oh, let me invite my guy.
Starting point is 01:47:13 All of a sudden you gotta force them, three, four guys out there playing golf, and you don't know who it is, you know? Relax. Play your golf, man. Since the biddy cage is going on right now, you know, people's ears are sensitive. You say foursome, everybody trying to figure out.
Starting point is 01:47:27 Oh, wow. Y'all don't have gay ears. Really? Yes. This guy has gay ears. I'm listening to you because I'm intrigued by what you're saying. I don't have gay ears. What do you mean intrigued by the foursome word?
Starting point is 01:47:37 No, I've heard that before. I've heard everybody say that they golf because it's great for networking. I've golfed once. I was terrible at it. I got frustrated. But it's a time for men to do something we don't do, which is talk. For a long period of time, it's good bonding for men, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:58 I agree. We're not on the golf course, though. Yes. Yeah. It's funny you said men because we actually we're doing a campaign Featuring now Justin Tuck just talking about fathers because a lot of times again You're talking about that opportunity to bond and like it's a great sport like to just go out there and a lot of times That's a that's a man's hobby
Starting point is 01:48:18 You know, I mean we definitely support the women to get out there as well and I I agree that golf can be intimidating. Like look, I was the first African-American golf professional at two golf courses that were over 100 years old. Whoa! So 1899 Detroit Golf Club and Wilmington Country Club. In Wilmington, I started out as a caddy there, right? So like used to dream of going in the clubhouse. Like, man, like, what would that be like? And, you you know the point and I feel like the reason why I took both of those roles was simply because he has an opportunity to reset the standard right they don't know they've never even interact with someone at that level in that
Starting point is 01:48:55 position and so it's important that we do go and kind of push through that uncomfortableness and that's kind of what I'm saying where as an adult if the adults can go We know it's just gonna they're gonna look up to you. You know and so if they see you doing the goal for us We don't want it to be a shock when we show up or minority show up and they're playing golf We want that to be normalized right but that's up to us to normalize it amongst that generation Just like we normalize everything else It could be something as simple as like going to the movies or every some of y'all go to this place Whatever it may be. It's just normal just you saw it And so that's the thing our goal is that we want this next generation to really say you know
Starting point is 01:49:38 What I may pay golf once or twice a year and I'm cool with that But at least when the opportunity comes we're not sitting on the sideline That's what's up. How can they find how can they go to the site if they want more information? Yeah, finals on Eastsidegolf.com. We actually have a TikTok at Eastsidegolf and our Instagram is at Eastsidegolf Yeah, go download our app as well. We got a really dope app We have a lot of exclusive product on there, merch, shoes, everything at Eastside Golf. Man, respect to y'all brothers, everything that y'all have built, everything that y'all are building.
Starting point is 01:50:08 This is very, very inspiring, man. And now we gotta get y'all out on the golf course. That's the next thing. Yeah, that's the next thing. That's the next thing. I was already out there. Yeah, she was, she was. In Baltimore, holding it down.
Starting point is 01:50:18 Sorry, no. I feel like God is calling me to learn. I tried it one time, but man, I swung at that ball like 30 times And couldn't hit it and just like I'm just gonna ride around with y'all in here We got a professional coach right here But yeah, it's a great like family atmosphere to like that's like you my son played my son played I played in college And I stopped since college, but okay, okay, but it was one of those things we go out there
Starting point is 01:50:43 We drink and we have fun talking then come back to go to class. But my son actually plays and I was like, I got to get back out of it, but just having the time. Understand, time is definitely a thing, but it's just so worth it. We go to Topgolf with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Topgolf, what is that?

And he does a lot of instruments. Yes. A lot of instruments for people. But who's that again? Planet Gizzo. I like that. Yeah, that record. Planet Gizzo?

You know, I knew y'all would like that one Yes, and then the last one is a lotto with somebody she's been teasing this record for a while, but it's finally out I like that so that's those they went on I like that It's different for lotto. I never hear kind of poppy
Starting point is 01:53:13 It's a nice summer bop for all the female players who will be lying the guys making guys think that you know Y'all gonna be together this summer, but you just really having some fun. That's what that feel like I like that, okay? So if you guys like those records make sure you guys tune in and listen to them on the certified playlist You can get it by clicking my link in bio I also have it in my story to make sure you follow me at Naila Simone and why LA s y mo and Also Naila we got a salute layer because we said she was signed and she said she's not sign She's not sign she's independent. I know she not sign we said she was uh signed and she said she's not signed she's independent yeah leah said she's not signed she's independent i know she's not signed you said she was signed i googled it google said she was signed but she signed before right and now she's not signed
Starting point is 01:53:51 now she was signed before yeah but then once you said that i was like dang maybe she got resigned so then i didn't say anything i thought you said not yet i thought you said not yet last week about leah yeah last i knew she was not signed she was signed but she's not anymore she's independent now yeah yeah she did a whole video on it Well, so the layers been going up man.

Okay, you too All right, everybody else the people's choice mixes up next don't move is to breakfast club. Good morning
Starting point is 01:54:23 Alright, everybody else the people's choice mixes up next don't move is the breakfast club. Good morning Wake up wake up your life into the breakfast club Morning everybody is dj envy just hilarious charlomane the guy we are the breakfast club We got to salute the cast of the wire for joining us today man. They celebrate my brother three years, man They join you why I just don't what couldn't be done with the wire like I feel like the wire need to have like a Documentary maybe a reunion. Definitely a documentary, but they can't do a spin-off. I don't want them to mess it up.
Starting point is 01:54:50 Like the blueprint was great. Now remember a couple of years later, a show called The Cornerhead came out, right? And I felt like they tried to do the same type of thing. It didn't really stick for me, but we've seen that try to be done over and over. It just, it don't come close. So I think a documentary would be the right thing.
Starting point is 01:55:09 I mean, yeah, I do think that ship is sailed, but I do think back in the day, uh, why a spinoffs would have worked if they would have kept like the same writers, the same producers, because they could have created their own world. They could go to different cities. Yeah. Just like the power universe thing. Like plenty of those guys could have left set up shop somewhere else. The one that lives. You don't those guys could have left set up shop somewhere else, the one that lived.
Starting point is 01:55:25 You don't think you could go back to that though? Cause so many people are intrigued with the street lifestyle and selling drugs and all that. People love seeing those types of things. Those movies do well, those shows do well. You go to another place, like you go to DC, you go to Detroit, you go to New York, you go to a small town somewhere that we might not know.
Starting point is 01:55:43 Like Sharla said though, it gotta be written right the dialogue got to be exactly the streets like exactly what it really is yeah all right and also a side golf for joining us this morning man I am really inspired by what them brothers are doing just because they're doing something different outside the box yeah they're doing something that you don't really see a lot of us doing and they having a lot of success. So salute to those brothers. All right. And then one of them is from Delaware, big Delaware.
Starting point is 01:56:09 There's a big Delaware? Same one. I'm saying you can own it. I didn't know it come in a big size. I know it's a, I know it is. Yo, whatever, yo. Shout out to Eastside Golf, Elijah Juan and my man's Earl Cooper.
Starting point is 01:56:23 And also, you know what? I want to salute Mimi Brown. And Mimi's listening I just want to say I apologize for my friend. Mimi is right here. Come here Mimi. Mimi listening. This guy is so crazy. Mimi.
Starting point is 01:56:34 Why do you like Mimi sitting right here? I don't know Mimi wanted to get to the mic. Mimi told us today she's from Alaska and my friend here at the Breakfast Club asked some of the dumbest questions ever. You know and I just want to say Mimi I'm sorry. It's alright I wanted to know I wanted to know did she grow up in the igloo like what part of town she from she from the East or the West side. She said it's dark all the time. So
Starting point is 01:56:58 Normal and by the way, no NBA no act like you weren't dumb envy was like it gives dark all the time Don't act like you weren't dumb. Envy was like, it gets dark all the time. I learned that in middle school. No, it's dark in the wintertime all the time. The summertime is light 24 hours, so it's the opposite. So you go to school at night, well, when it's dark and then you come home, it's just dark, just dark. It's just dark.
Starting point is 01:57:14 But in the summertime. So the light bill gotta be crazy. Well, kinda, kinda. The streetlights stay on in the wintertime like the whole time. But in the winter, it's 24-7 summertime, right? So the sun doesn't go down. So that the actual side you was from you know you from the south side we don't really do that it's just you know
Starting point is 01:57:33 from the slopes I mean that's like that's that's that's Alaska that's Alaska yeah so you can say I'm from the North. I'm from the South Pole. Okay, I'm from the North.
