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.
This just sounds like a guy
off behind a wall.
It does.

I don't feel emotions correctly.
I collect my roommates' toenails and fingernails.

from anonymous strangers as a fake gecko therapist

Yes.
You know it's one of my favorite storytellers of all time, Judy Blume.
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.
If you could put a genre on it, what would you classify it as?
Romantic drama maybe?
Romantic drama maybe?
Alright, we'll get into it.

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.
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
have been gone on strike this morning at NJ Transit.
It's halting the nation's third largest commuter line.
So if you live in New York and you're trying to get
to New Jersey to go to work or you live in New Jersey
and you're trying to get one to New York,
there is a strike, give yourself extra time.
You might need to work virtual today.
They're saying it's gonna be nasty and a mess.

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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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?
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.

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. 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***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, 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?

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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
Yes, my Instagram, Mimi Brown TV at all socials.

Absolutely.
23 years.
More than number.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
I said.
I said.
I told you.
That was hard.
That **** stick their head out that trailer, man.
You good?
You good?
You good?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,

Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
You know what I'm saying?
So when I started Chaney Vision Entertainment, my company,
I'm partnering up with Cast Like Food with the Kermit.
Shout out to my brother. I'm partnering up with Cast Like Food with the Caramels.
Shout out to my brother.
I'm producing my own films, Hidden Lives, Love and Larceny.
I'm partnering up with people like Anthony Clark, Dana Freeman, and we're just doing
a whole bunch of my own independent projects, which is really what got me to the place of
booking what they consider mainstream.
We own this city, BMF.
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? I'm like, bro
The wire was the wire and I learned and I learned a lot
But if we go and sit up here and consider myself a working actor
Yeah, I'm out here. Yeah, I'm out here taking it back to the street
I'm pumping my own website Chaney way calm and then that led to my man George Pierre who was casting for
Saints and sinners like yeah, shout out George Pierre man
That's my best me for Saints and sinners the quiche cold biopic BMF like that's that's our brother out there in Atlanta
But um, he called me one day like yo
I heard what you doing in the streets man
Like you pumping your own merch and your own movies out the trunk of your car and I'm like, yeah, man
I mean, but this is the way that I'm getting in
I'm and I was like creating like really developing my fan base because people seeing like a
Celebrity out on the street. Yeah, just getting to it, you know, it just helped me in so many ways and now envy
It's a role. It's a role that I need to manifest listen to this 13 years in the projects
My mentality is what kid you talk a good one, but you don't want it
Gave me his blessing
Me and have it been talking for two and a half years and you know, the press is running with a TMZ and that
I mean, it's not I got an arm
like
Like we've been talking and my thing is this like just
Studying everything like because the project would have to be about
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.
Have you read Prodigy, My Infamous Life?
No, I'm grabbing.
That should be a movie.
Yeah, it should.
I got a chance to have lunch and dinner
with Prodigy a couple of times.
Yeah, and I was in a whole bunch of Prodigy videos. I know how Prodigy is, and I got a chance to have lunch with lunch and dinner with prodigy a couple of times Yeah, and I was in a whole bunch of videos
I know how prodigy is and I got a chance to kick it with him. He was a good dude real good dude
He was, that was my guy
If that comes around that comes around
That's what I'm gonna take, and like I say man, I'm well prepared, but I'm gonna bring this into fruition man
That's why you gotta read my infamous life
Nah, that book tells you all the-
We about to go ahead and get that now
That's the move That's the move Life. It tells you all that. You gotta get that.
That's the move.
Yes.
That's the move.
That's the thing.
The more prodigy, the more prodigy.
I mean it is, but you can't tell,
he don't tell his story without having one.
Of course.
Right.
My last question, what do people still misunderstand
about The Wire even after all these years?
Best television show ever.
No, that is not a black show.
That's what I feel like.
Ah, you know what? That's what I think people would say. Yes, that's a a black show. That's what I feel like. That's what I think people
like. It's an American show. It's about America. It just so happened we're telling the stories
of mostly black people. But it got layers. It's about how the street affects the police.
The police affect the politicians. The politicians affect the street. Education. So that's what
it's about. People look at it and corner shows. And the doctors coming in.
That show taught you everything.
The wires taught you everything
about what you need to know about life.
And also you ain't your brand, right?
Is that your brand?
Yeah, yeah, this is the backyard for life.
You got to get your jacket back.
We all got our stuff.

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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
I keep saying that.
Like she, yeah, she was complicit at some point.
Okay.

You so worried about my late.
Good morning, who's this?
Good morning, this is Tammy.
How are you?
Tammy, who you want to get the biggest E-Haul to this morning?
Actually, I want to give it to my melanated unhealed women that keep allowing our
Melanated brothers men fathers uncles
Son coming into our home and you want to treat them like that?
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.
So women, get it together if you are melanated.
This world is already beating them down. Cut it out. So it's a blanket for all of y'all
that are unhealed and keep bleeding on men that didn't cut you. I agree with that
wholeheartedly and I think it I think it goes both ways. I think everybody need to
be doing the work on each other so we stop projecting our pain on the other
people. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Talk that ith this morning. Yes, I'm so sick of you hearing it. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, mama. Good

How y'all brothers doing?
How you doing?
Good.
Olajuwon, I always hear your first name as a last name.
I've never met an Olajuwon who's Olajuwon was the first name. 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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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?
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,
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,
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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

So listen to the K Factor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

This isn't just a podcast.
It's a movement.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Made for this mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their
struggles, break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have
kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face
the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into it.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's
inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional wellbeing and climb your personal mountain. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
That's Topgolf.
Topgolf.
Topgolf.

Yeah same here. I'm gonna start off. I guess I'm gonna start off slow and then speed it up for you guys
Let's start with get to it from Ian and Nino paid
I want to say that's just generation considered slow y'all need to stop doing so much that wasn't actually the slow one
Oh, but what do you think? That's all I like it
Is why I'm music I wasn't sure if you guys are like
Okay, cool the slow the slower record I meant to actually start with is from Planet Giza and it's called
Elevator. I like that. I like that vibe. Is that Masego on the instruments or no? Masego?
You're definitely using the Gizkeni? No, Masego is an artist. He's a jazz artist but he plays
basically every instrument. Yes. 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?
Don't start.
Don't start.
That do sound like someplace video taking, right?
We're going to take a trip to Planet Gizzo.
All right.
This next record is Bossman D-Lo and Gucci Man with Hit.
Ooh!
It's all in your heart.
There's a hundred in my mouth.
Hey, that's a lot. Yeah. See's why you're in Owen music, you know
Going home at 11 the boss man gonna stay out
They're gonna take it from about 7 to 10 30 Gucci probably
Yeah, it's good balance. 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
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
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. I don't love her
All right. Yo, what is the name of that? Uh, kiss it joint elevator elevator. Okay. Cool. Yes. All right
Well, thank you. Nala. Thank you guys. Have a great week and be safe. Okay, you too
All right, everybody else the people's choice mixes up next don't move is to breakfast club. Good morning
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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
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.
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
from the slopes I mean that's like that's that's that's Alaska that's Alaska
