Now, WNBABA playoffs, the Aces take on the fever in game three. Let's go, Aces. Also, tonight, the links take on Phoenix at 9.30. This is a tough series to root for. I just want you all to know that because Leia Boston is a former South Carolina Gamecock, too.

She bought a championship to the South Carolina Gamecoct. And you have the Las Vegas Aces who have Asia Wilson, you know, the legendary South Carolina. Carolina Gamecock. So that is a tough series. So I'm, I don't know, you know, I'm rooting for the A-Sist, though. Okay. What's up, Mimi? What's up? Good morning, Charlomaine. Good morning. Good morning. Envy. How are you guys doing? Peace, Mimi. Good morning. So our top story this morning is dominating headlines everywhere. Former FBI director James Comey has been indicted on two federal charges.

The most dramatic move yet in President Donald Trump's push to prosecute his political adversaries. The indictment filed in Alexandria, Virginia, accuses Comey of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Now, both charges go back to testimony he gave in September of 2020 when senators pressed him on whether he had authorized FBI officials to leak information about the Clinton email investigation or possible ties between Trump's campaign and Russia. Now, prosecutors say his answers were false. Now, each charge carries up to five years in prison.

The legal experts note, Comey, is a first time defended in the law. would likely face literal less time if convicted. Now, the timing, though, it raises questions just last week. Trump ousted the federal prosecutor in Virginia after he resisted on bringing charges, citing weak evidence. Now, in his place, Trump installed Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide and Trump lawyer with no prior trial experience. Days later, the indictment was followed.

Now, the political backdrop is also very impossible to ignore Trump has publicly demanded his attorney general, Pam Bondi, quote, move now on Comey and other opponents, even posting that his critics were guilty as hell. From the White House, Trump is celebrating the indictment, calling it justice in America, and blasting Comey as one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to. Comey, for his part, responded quickly, posting a defiant video on Instagram. Let's hear what he had to say. My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump. But we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.

Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she's right. But I'm not afraid, and I hope you're not either. I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention, and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does. my heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I'm innocent. So let's have a trial.

Yeah, vote if there's a free and fair election in 2020, the way things are trending, it don't look that way. And Mimi, I just think we need to stress how much this isn't normal. We need to stress how much this is revenge. Trump has a list, okay? He just has a list, and he's going to execute his hit list. And this is the difference between Trump and, you know, President Biden. The way Trump talks about his political opponents is how Biden should have been talking about Trump.

The way Pam Bondi talks about her political opponents is how Merrick Garland should have been talking about Trump. Yeah, this is crazy. I think it was, if it'll be one more week, the statute of limitations would have been up and he wouldn't have been able to be charged. But the fact that he has to go through this, innocent or not, he's going to have to spend millions of dollars fighting in court to see if he, whatever the case may be, which is insane. Exactly, exactly. And the fallout is also touching his other family members just minutes after the indictment was filed. His son-in-law, who is a senior national security prosecutor prosecutor in Virginia. He also resigned. You know, and so we'll see what happens. This all goes back to 2017 when Trump fired him after asking for his loyalty and Comey declined that. And so we'll see what happens. He's expected in court on October 9th. According to CNN, he's expected to turn himself in this morning. So we'll keep following that. And there's an update to a story that we've been following the Doge employee who was attacked in Washington, D.C.

This is a case that set off President Trump's decision to federalize D.C. and send the National Guard troops in, while a 15-year-old boy has now pled guilty to assaulting 19-year-old Edward Cortizene. He's the early Doge hire and the protege of Elon Musk. Now, that attack, it happened back in early August, and it drew national attention after Trump posted that bloody image of him online, and that's when he declared a national crisis in D.C. days later, federal takeover of the Washington police system took over. And this week, that case took a major turn with the 15-year-old pleading guilty to felony assault, robbery, attempted robbery, and he's now awaiting sentencing next month. So we'll see what happens with that. All right. Well, thank you, Mimi. We'll see you next. hour. Absolutely. Coming up at seven, we'll tell you about a record payout that may affect millions of customers and how you

can cash in. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800 585105.151. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585105-1. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

if you've seen that video of a UFO that got hit by a military missile. Come on now. And it kept going. Come on now. It's like little pieces. Yeah, little pieces broke off of it And the little pieces that looked like they broke off,

it looked like they kept following the main part of the craft. What are y'all talking about? You know I saw that. Absolutely. They showed that in the congressional hearing. That is wild, man. They better leave them things alone, man. We don't know what they're capable of.

That's something we don't want no static with, man. I was watching a good video the other day with Neil DeGrasi Tyson, and he was talking to the former head of the Pentagon. I'm going to tell you what the video is, and it's called What Was That Really? and they were breaking down UAP footage that is out there

it's with the head of the Pentagon's UAP task force Dr. John Koloski it's on the episode of Neil DeGrathy Tyson's Star Talk and the funny part is the head of the Pentagon he was like

they don't know what these things are man see they don't know what they are why are they messing with them man we don't I mean damn man I was crazy I said yeah The missile video was crazy.

And if anybody that wants to watch it, just Google Google Hellfire Missile Striking UAP off the coast of Yemen. Man, if things were to retaliate, we couldn't do anything. We ain't got no technology like that.

Absolutely not. It was an MQ9 reput drone that shot a missile at a metallic orb and it just bounced off the orb and the orb just kept going. Man, I tell you, man. We better start paying attention, man We definitely should

And this was actually presented In the House Oversight subcommittee meeting That was last, that was early this month Yeah, man Y'all be easy, man My brother, peace Oh, Jesus, all right, thank you Hello, who's this?

Hello, hi, hi, this is Tila Hey, Tila, good morning, get it off your chest Yes, I basically want to raise their awareness for parents They need to get more involved In their children's education teachers are being held accountable for everything. We have to hold parents accountable.

I agree. Also, I wanted to give a shout out to my cousin who was in the hospital and my husband who's a truck driver. Okay. Salute to them. You're right about the parents, though. I was at my daughter's back to school night last night, and, you know, you really do have to be involved

and, you know, be talking to the teachers and asking the teachers questions and, you know, wondering if there's a disconnect between, you know, your child not understanding something, you should be talking to the teacher and figuring out why. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. 100%.

I went to my kids back to school night and I was eager to be there. And here I am a teacher waiting for parents to show up at back to school night and you barely get anybody to show up. Now, you're right. You know what? At one of my kids' school, I think the best thing they did is they had a back to school night where you meet with the teachers, but then they had all the parents and kids there together and they did activities with them.

So it made it an interactive back to school night, which I thought was amazing too. I thought that was dope. That's a great idea. I thought that was dope. That's a great idea. Yeah, but that's it. And I wanted to say that I listen to you guys every single day. Thank you.

We appreciate your loyalty. We appreciate your money. And you guys held it down on Dane Dash. Like, I used to like Deng Dash, but he lost me after that interview. Damn, Dane wants to sue us. I think he sent, he sent some legal papers over. Yeah. Oh, that's not fair.

DJ Envy, Charleney and Jets. Thank you. Thank you so much. Have a good one. All right, guys. You have a good weekend. Yeah, I don't know why Dead Dash wants to sue, man. But that's the, yeah. Dead Dash, that's the reason why I don't know. No. No. No. I have no idea why Dead Dash wants to sue. I tried to watch the video yesterday and follow what his, but I don't think he wants to know either because he called for the young ladies. What's her name, Nikki Licky? He was like, Nicky Licky, look up on chat, GPT, if you can be sued for getting interrupted in an interview.

I'm like, what he said. I saw like three different interviews. He did one interview on his network, America New. I saw another one on Cam Capone. Cam Coupon. So he did interviews after us. Yeah. Oh, okay.

This interview won't go away. This interview won't go away. Yeah, I just, I keep seeing us in the algorithm, the Breakfast Club Dame Dash interview. I don't get it. That dash, A.K.A. De Lulu Poppington. The Lulu.

The Lulu. Hello, who's this? Well, what's going on, Sonny? Sonny, what's her name? What up, Sonny? Get off your chest. Yeah, no, I wanted to ask Charlemagne about the mental health stuff, for one. You know, I'm in Amber Triangle in California.

So it's like three something in the morning here. What do you do, you know, when you want to reach out about that stuff? Because everything's crazy right now, and I just want to know his advice on that. Well, I would tell you to look up something like that. like talk space, you know, when y'all, when you up late at night, unless you have that type of relationship, you know, with your therapist, I don't know if you have a therapist or psychiatrist, but if you have a relationship with them, when you can call them this time of morning, that's great.

But if not, man, there's always spaces like talk space that you can call. Okay. No, that's awesome, man. I don't know what's going on with everything else right now and, you know, all this other stuff that you all going through with getting pulled out your cars and, you know, orange dude and all this stuff. The thing is really crazy right now, man. You know what I mean?

I'm serious. I'm about to start doing a cognitive behavioral therapy. Yeah, this is wild, man. Like I said, I'm praying for you guys and everybody else. I don't know what's going on, but I think that everybody needs to get up and vote and stop getting indicted and stuff. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Well, thank you.

Thank you for checking up. All right, brother. All right, got one. Yes, sir. Nobody wants to get indicted. No. Stop getting indicted. People would love to stop getting indicted.

Yeah, now he was saying that, you know, Because we tell a story about this week, when we pull up to the station, they actually have to search our vehicles to make sure there's no bombs or weapons in the car. Hold on. Well, there's context to that now. It's UN week. I was what I'm about to say, because it's UN week. And some of the, I guess, the leaders in some of these countries are staying in hotels in the area.

And they just want to make sure anybody that coming in the area. It's not like the city is undersea. No, no. I don't think he knew that. Yeah. I don't think he knew that either. Yeah. No, but it's UN week.

So some of the leaders from different countries are in town. So they just want to make sure that they are safe. Let's go to another call up. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Keanu Neal. I'm calling for Intercompass Cancer Foundation. Hey, Keanu. Hey, I just wanted to bring us to Chairman's attention for his therapy,

his promotion for health and therapy. So this cancer foundation, it actually provides not just medication, test and treatments and stuff, but it also allows cancer patients and their families to get free, therapeutic sessions offered by therapists who are offering their time. Now, you won't get a full session, but you'll get 15 minutes to talk to somebody because cancer doesn't affect the individual. It affects everybody's surroundings.

It spreads just like cancer. That is amazing. Yeah, this foundation was started in Virginia, and, you know, it's worldwide, so anybody can do it. So if you visit InacompestFoundation.org, it's tax deductible. So if you don't like your tax dollars going towards things you don't like, then this is a way to get around that during our tax time. I'm on the website right now, intercomposefoundation.org.

Thank you, man. That's great information, brother. Yeah, thank you so much for taking the time to listen. I tried to get in and talk with senators a couple of weeks ago. and actually my son of that because I'm from Maryland she came out of her office I said hey can I just have a minute of your time

and she smiled said hi and then turn right back in and walked back into her office I was like okay what's her name you know you're not talking about it was Alcibrook Angela Altsabrook

oh wow yes damn now I will give it the caveat that obviously somebody coming in there with a paper she don't know what it is and she's, you know, but I had talked to her, um, a corn tycoon that had made an appointment with her beforehand. He's like, well, I'll give my last two minutes to you, so I'll let her know about it.

And it just, like, yeah, she just turned around and walked back into her office. Well, set up a proper meeting because I'm looking at the website, and this looks like some some really dope stuff that you're doing, man, so set up a proper meeting. Thank you. Yeah, no. And it's, like I said, it started out of a really good, really good guy who was diagnosed cancer himself and instead of taking all his money and wealth and just worrying about himself he got himself better

focused on the holistic aspect and then started giving back to the community so please yeah um you know don't even donate until you check out the website thank you so much yes sir nice let's go again inner encompass foundation.org i'm gonna go there inner inner compass foundation dot org and it says empowering cancer cancer patients to thrive not just survive not just survive This looks dope.

All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. Now, Lauren, you was in court yesterday. I was in court yesterday. We shouldn't have been. It was a waste of time. Well, the latest with Lauren,

you're talking about Diddy. Not for yourself. No, no, yeah, not for myself. But, yeah, I was in court yesterday for Diddy. Definitely was a waste of time and the arguments. We'll get into it. Yeah. Damn, you sound pissed.

You look so disappointed. Because, I mean, yesterday I realized how much time I feel like I wasted it some days being there. So I can only imagine. I can only imagine how, like, Like the prosecutors, well, they don't feel like they waste the time, but like Did he, Did he's family, his attorneys, maybe some of people in the government? I don't know. I just feel like yesterday it hit me. Like, why are we still here? All right. Well, you'll break all that down and you'll tell us who was in court when we come back. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Lauren becoming a straight fat. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail.

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. On the breakfast club. Talk to me. Okay, so yesterday we were in court for Diddy.

The hearing yesterday was Diddy's team had asked a while ago, but the judge decided to take care of it now. They are saying that he either should be acquitted from the two men act charges or he should be, or some of the charges, or he should be given a new trial. I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paula Ramos. Together we're launching the moment, a new post. about what it means to live through a time as uncertain as this one. We sit down with politicians.

They are sitting there waiting for the vulnerable thing. They're waiting for the unprotected. I'm Dr. Leslie, forensic psychologist.

I advocate for safety and awareness of predators while wearing pink. When you were described to me as a forensic psychologist, I was like snooze. We ended up talking for hours. and I was like, this girl is my best friend. This is a podcast where I cut through the noise with sarcasm, satire, and hard truths. I'm not going to fake it and force it for me. But would you force an orgasm? Because that's like a different layer.

The car accident you didn't want to see but couldn't turn away from. In this episode, I discussed personal safety and self-defense tools, instincts and strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in everyday life and high-risk situations. Listen to Intentionally Disturbing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Wow. Because Diddy's team, they feel like the government did not do a good job providing sufficient evidence to prove that Diddy participated in prostitution, and what did the men act like lays it out, right? So basically, the judge just let both sides argue back and forth. It was like ping pong. So Diddy's team got up there and they're like, to summarize it, they say, said, you know, this is an embarrassment to the United States of America,

literally verbatim. That is what this attorney Shapiro said. She says that we took all this time when really the issue here is that a man and two of his girlfriends decided to be consenting adults and have threesomes when they wanted to. They also said that, you know, Diddy is in trouble right now.

His attorneys says that, or they claim that he's in trouble only because he was an avid producer of high-level amateur porn and consumer of high-level amateur porn. And consumer of high level amateur porn and under the First Amendment he should be allowed to do so

they are you know claiming that you can't tie him to making money from this or you know directly to anything so this is just a big waste of time the government is like that is not true this is not nothing infringes on his First Amendment right

this is not just him doing high level porn we are not just you know in this man's business or in this men's bedroom because the government just wants to do that certain things shouldn't stay behind closed doors because when they do you know drugs are dispersed and there's prostitution laws because you want to be able to protect women and you know men to but women and and also you want to be able to keep drugs contained and use the way to dispose to be and they're claiming with his case everything we saw in the evidence it was obvious that

behind closed doors women were not being protected drugs were being dispersed to everybody he is guilty a jury sat here for seven to eight weeks and they decided this we're not here the prosecution said we're not here because we decided this a jury did so what are we even talking about right now they went back and forth so what was the point of the whole thing yesterday for about an hour and a half did he seem as saying that the you know the the prosecution of the government didn't do their job they haven't they haven't provided sufficient enough evidence and that they're violating his constitutional rights by even bringing him up on these charges so yesterday was about what the sentencing next week no they're trying to they don't even want a sentence they want him they want the charges to be gone either the charges be

completely going you know he can it could either be one count two counts or they give him a whole new trial that's what they want they don't want the sentence and it happen at all um but the judge hasn't decided yet so when one will a judge decide because i've seen something yesterday said he wanted to happen fast yeah i mean because you're supposed to go to sentence in next week so supposed to i mean he didn't give us a timeline but he said that that they'd be hearing from him soon i don't predict that the acquittal is going to happen why he said that because you were there why i was i mean i just don't think it's going to happened because I feel like everything they were arguing yesterday is the same thing we heard in court. And at the end of the court case, the jury decided what they decided. But also the judge

after hearing all of that continuously said no bail, like he can't come home until sentencing. And he pointed to certain things that the jury also looked at to make their decision. So I don't think that the decision, I just don't think from what I heard yesterday that the judge does not believe that the jury made a wrong decision. The CNN headline says judge is to rule very shortly on Diddy Combs bid to vacate his conviction or grant a new trial? That's what I just said. Yeah, so an acquittal would be to vacate.

So basically, if you vacate... I know that. I'm talking about the grand a new trial. Yeah, so it's either or. So they do a new trial is basically it'll give the prosecution a chance to show better evidence because Diddy team is saying

y'all didn't do good providing great, good enough evidence. And it would give Didi another shot to try and fight what they laid out the first time? Did they say anything about the fact that they had they rated air, you know, ground, see... I'm so confused by this.

They spent so much money on that. They said he should, Diddy's attorney said this is an embarrassment to the United States of America and that in totality is her referring to it because they also talked about

the man acting like the racial attachment to it from back in the day when it was for shoes and they gave some examples to the man act and the judge said

nah yes so the prosecution had you have to provide case law which is like you know things that show what you're trying to make happen has already happened

and the law supports it the judge pointed out that one of the cases they submitted to show that there was a guy who you know was given jail time but did not make money off of the

prostitution ring. They did that to show it was a thing. The judge said, well, I don't know if you guys read, but in this, there was a payment received. Do you guys have any case law that shows that a person that does not receive any money or make any money off of things like this should go to jail the way that you're saying

that Mr. Combs should? And they're like, what we do, but not at the top of our heads, we'll have it in our sentencing, like, packaging. The reason I'm just confused by all of this is because when they talk about wanting to grant a new trial so, Diddy's team can fight the case better. I thought Diddy's team did a pretty great job.

It's really, in the case. They got all the big charges dropped. Yeah, but if you regranted, if this would have happened, the burden's really on the prosecution. Like, because you're saying that the prosecution didn't do what they needed to do. But it does give Diddy's team another shot because he's... At what, though? Like, they got all the big charges dropped.

He did solicit prostitutes. Prostitution is illegal. Like, that is the actual thing he probably should have been charged for. But I guess that's more of a smaller charge than the Man Act, which he's being charged for. No, they're saying that he didn't do it. They're saying he was, this was not that. This was not prostitution.

This was a man who had girlfriends who agreed to go fly to places and do threesome. What about the nipple? What about the see him in all the nipples? And they're saying that just because, you know, he consumed the amateur porn, the high-level porn. They were like, it was highly choreographed and the lighting, and we heard the testimonies. I was like, not all the- If you paid for prostitution, it's not high-level prostitution and low-level prostitution. It's still prostitution. They're arguing that because-

it's high and low now. It's still prostitution. If you give a crackhead at 20, that could be considered low. But that's prostitution, though, still low. Even though it's low, but that's low. But you said there's no such thing. There is high level low. I don't think they're looking in a courtroom and it's just a prostitution.

They don't say, well, you're crackhead. It's just a little bit of time. No, I met. What's the middle? Is there a middle? The middle? If it's not low. Probably getting the Dominican and Chanel back.

Damn it. Man, sex. That's probably middle. Chanel is expensive. I mean, Michael Cole. Michael Cole is you right. Also, Diddy was in a prison close yesterday yesterday, too, I'm ever seen.

How did it look? He was in prison clothes yesterday. Is he on prison pants? Prison pants, yes. I said pretty pants. I'm like, what? He looked scruffy, didn't have a haircut. His hair was gray like it's been.

He had on the prison suit. And that's because they had asked for him to be able to wear like the sweaters and all the stuff he had been wearing before. But the judge had it signed off on in a time. So he had to come in court in his prison clothes. And he gave like a little words to his family at the end. He does that every, almost every time. They allow him to do that.

Yeah, they allow you. You can turn around and talk to them after it's over. But he told them. Is he skinny? He is a bit skinnier than what we know him to be. But from the last time I seen him in court, he didn't, weight-wise, he didn't look any different. His hair is just a bit longer,

and it was definitely different to see him in prison clothes. It's going to be interesting to see what this judge does, though. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think in the quiddle is happening. And I wonder what very shortly means being that the trial is set for next week. Next Friday, right? People were, like, there's like a watch. Like, by that, people were doing by the hour yesterday

to see if the docket was updated at all with the decision. So it could come anytime. All right. Well, that is. the latest with Lauren. Now, don't forget, it's Friday, so Charlemagne, your donkey Friday, what you do? Yeah, we do the people's donkey every Friday, so you can call right now

1-800-585-105-1 and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. All right, when we come back, we got front-page news. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody, it's DJ NV, Jess Hilary, Sholameen, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some

front-page news. Now, some quick sports. The Seahawks beat the Cardinals last night, 23-20. W-NBA playoffs. night, the aces take on the fever at 7.30, and the links take on the mercury at 9.30. What's up, Mimi? What's up, M.B. Charlemagne, Jess. Good morning. Hey, girl. Peace, Mimi.

Good morning. All right, so we're starting seven with a tent scene at Tennessee State University in HBCU in Nashville, where a conservative group showed up on campus uninvited, sparking confrontation and outrage. Now, the group which called itself fearless debates wore MAGA hats and carried signs that read DEI should be illegal and deport all illegals now. They were inspired by the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Now, the Nashville NAACP says this wasn't about dialogue. It was about provocation.

TSU quickly made the group leave and says that they have no ties to the university. Campus police and staff moved in and escorted them off the grounds without incident. But online videos showed just how tense it got, students shouted back, held up Black Lives Matter signs and followed along as police led the group out. TSU president, Duane Tucker, says an investigation is underway and how the group even into how the group got on the campus. Now, he plans to meet with students in the coming days to hear their concerns. Now, the group for its part insists they were not there to antagonize, but to have what it calls a healthy debate. Let's hear what they had to say.

If you want to talk people who disagree with you, you go to the place where people are likely to disagree with you. We kind of just drive places and then we end up in a city, we pick a city. And then we just go to that city and then we kind of figure out what universities are there. We didn't know that TSU was an HBCU until the night before. He didn't know until they told him on campus. I don't know if you guys saw that video, but the NAACP, yeah, it's a lot of the students are saying that they don't believe that they didn't know. It was hard to not know. They set up tables right there in the middle of the yard and put those signs out and really confronted students. And so the NAACP says the visit was a deliberate attempt.

to intimidate black students at an HBCU and warns this could be a larger trend targeting campuses nationwide. I don't know if it was there to intimidate because them kids wasn't going back down at all. You know what I'm saying? But I was conflicted about this because I feel like they did come there

to provoke that crowd. Like they came there to antagonize. They wanted that crowd to react exactly the way they did. But they didn't give any context to those videos they were posting. Like, you know, when they posted the video, they just posted, you know,

them being surrounded by all of these young black kids and the young black kids shouting at them so you know you see the comments saying oh y'all don't like healthy dialogue y'all don't like healthy debate but the context is they didn't have permission to be there to begin with not at all you understand what I'm saying so they just popped up pulled up on campus so if anything I feel like security

should have just escorted them out and I wish the students would have just ignored them all together because you kind of gave them you gave them exactly what they wanted what they were looking for absolutely and so now to a story that could hit close to home for millions of shoppers, Amazon just got slapped with one of the biggest penalties over its prime membership. So the Federal Trade Commission says Amazon misled millions of people, making it super

easy to sign up for prime membership, but confusing when it came to canceling. Now, as part of the deal, Amazon will pay a record $2.5 billion to settle the case. The agreement, it ends a two-year battle with the FTC, which accused the company of using what it calls subscription traps. It's designed to trick people into signing up but then blocks your exit. Now here's how though the payout will work. One billion is a civil penalty and 1.5 billion will go back to an estimated 35 million people. Now regulators say this is the largest penalty ever tied to an FTC rule violation. But consumer advocates, they argue it's just a slap on the risk for Amazon last year alone. They pulled in $44 billion. So that penalty is about 5% of that total. Amazon says it did nothing wrong and only settled so it can, quote, move

forward. Prime membership, which is about $139 a year, remains one of the company's biggest moneymakers. So how do you get your money? Well, some refunds will be automatic. About $51 for customers who were caught in the confusing sign-up process and barely use Prime, but many others will need to file a claim. Amazon has 30 days to send that notice to people. They'll do it by email or mail and then they'll have to set up a website with instructions from there people will have 180 days to submit their claims run me my 51 dollars yeah I'm with you get my 50 my 51 yeah but let me ask you guys have you ever tried to cancel something online and it just felt impossible to you can't find the cancellation button yeah yeah absolutely there's a there's a

app for it but I can't find what the app I can't remember what the app is right now but there's an app that does that it cancels like all those unwanted subscriptions yeah yeah but you know You could do it on your, my daughter taught me how to do it on my, I forgot. I think it was one time, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, Rocket money. That's what it's, rocking money.

Rocking money. Yeah, they advertise all the time. Rocking money. It helps you cancel your unwanted subscription. Yep, there you have it right there. And lastly, the way we talk keeps changing. And so now the dictionary is finally catching up. So Miriam Webster is releasing its first edition in more than 20 years,

adding more than 5,000 new words and phrases that we already use every day. So I'm talking words like beast mode, dad, side eye, cancel culture, doom scrolling is that, you know, that endless late night scroll on your phone and one word that's very popular with Gen Z. It's called Riz. Do you guys know what that is? I do. Do you mean swag or something like that? Kind of. I thought that means when you're trying to holler at a girl like your game. Exactly. So if someone says you've got no Riz that they're really saying exactly. You got you got you have no game. Absolutely. What about fine? Oh no. I don't think that's on it.

I don't be fine shit on it. I don't know. How do y'all women feel about that being called fine? I don't know. I don't ever want to be called shit anyway. So, I mean, I don't think shit could be fine. Yeah, no, no. I've never seen sexy shit.

Like, oh, that issue is sexy. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know how you put those two together. So anyway, the dictionary is coming out November 8th, and it's already out for pre-order. And so those are, there's a bunch of new words that you can check out that we already say. And so those are now.

part of the English Dictionary. Okay. Yeah. So that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. And for more stories, follow the Black Information Network. Download the free IHeartRadio app and visit BINNews.com. Thank you, Mimi.

So, you know, on Fridays, we do the People's Donkey. So, you know, if you want to call up, and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. You can do that right now. 1-800-5-1-105-1. It's the world's most dangerous morning to show The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's D.J.N.V. Jess Hilary, Sholomaine de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Launlerosa is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. His new EP comes out next week. I love you, ladies and gentlemen, Trevor Jackson. Good morning. Good morning. How are you feeling?

Do you want to talk about acting or singing? Let's talk about both. Whatever you want to talk about first. I'm open to. I'm absolutely loving this EP. Thank you. It's different. I really appreciate that.

Hell, yeah. It's different. It has like a soundtrack vibe. Yeah. Like a love, rom-com. I love that. And I did not,

I don't know why. I hope this doesn't think. I didn't expect that. Coming from me, but like, what genre would you classify this EP? I would like to be genre-less. That's kind of like my goal

when I make anything in life. I try not to be in any type of box. I always want to represent like freedom, freedom of creativity, freedom of, you know, who you are. And so, yeah, and the thing about this album is because it was so personal to me, everything that came out just came out.

There was no, like, hey, I want to make a song that's acoustic, or I want to make a song that talks about this. It was like I was going through a very, very hard time. I was in a very low space, and I just started vomiting, you know, records. And I think that's how you get the best stuff. Like, when I was talking to my dad, my dad was like, I'm sorry that you're in this much pain, son, but this is your opus. You know what I'm saying?

This is the best shit you've ever made. Sorry, can we cut? Yeah, yeah. But he's like, this is the best stuff you've ever made. And I was just like, yeah. And I was like, it sucks. I had to go through that. But, yeah, I'm thankful for the outlet.

I feel like I would explode if I didn't have these things in my life. What do you call yourself? Are you admitted a multi-hybrid? I like that. You might just coin that. Multi-hybridges? I like to say artists. You know, I was even playing around the idea of just a capture of moments.

You know, whether I'm making a song or I'm on set, I'm capturing a moment in time. Because I've been helped by so many artists throughout my life and just athletes or whoever. And I always want to be that for someone. So, like, this album in particular, this EP, anybody who's been through a breakup can relate to at least one song on these projects. And that's why I made it. Because when I go through a hard time, I put on a good movie, I'm out of my funk. Or I put on a good song, and I'm out of my funk, and I feel like I'm not alone anymore

because someone feels the same way as me, you know, so. I like that before you walked in, Jess was like, he's by. And I'm like, no, that's not what you call it. He's high hybrid. He's high hybrid. He's not what you call it. Buy hybrid. He's by hybrid.

You don't call it that. You know, you're such an idiot. I meant, like, you know, the music and the act. But that's not what you call it is what I'm telling you. What did you call it again? Multi-hybrid. Multi-hybrid. You don't call it.

You don't call it. You don't call it. Multi-hybridged. So this song, so you really went through this breakup or this, like, relationship situation that you're singing about. Yes. How long did it take for you to get to the point where you realized that it just wasn't going to work out? She wasn't going to put both feet in. Um, well, she broke up with me, which is okay.

You know what I'm saying? And we just weren't right for each other. And I'm the type of person, like, I don't care how bad it's going. Like, I made the, I'm just, like, trying to hold on, you know? I want it. I want it so bad. But I'm so thankful. God does the hard work for me, right?

Because I would have never left, you feel me? I would have saved. And so, obviously, I went through a lot of it. So the crazy thing about this music, guys, after she broke up with me two weeks after I tore my Achilles. Then I had to shoot a TV show with the boot on. Then I had to do it. Like, I was going through so much. That was what one foot in came from?

Yeah. It's a foot in came from there. It should have. It's true there. It's shoot it came from there. Um, but yeah, no, I, um, yeah, I was in a really, really low spot, but I think, um, again, that's why I wanted to do this, because I think black men in general, journaling, talking about it, I want people to process and then be like a lighthouse for somebody else instead of internalizing. And I felt like that was this album for me, you know, I had just probably started going to therapy a few years before the breakup and I love journaling. I love talking to therapists. And that's what the music is for me. You know, I'm just like, right? And then, but then I come back and listen to him like, this is a fucking.

smash, you know what I'm doing? Yeah, yeah. So even when you go back and you listen to the EP, right? Yeah. You don't break down at all. No, I'm happy. But that's why I do what I do. And like, people are like, oh, you're trying to be famous, you want money?

No, I'm surviving. Yeah. That's why I make music. That's why even I go to set, I tell people there's stories where I had to do a scene. And this was another breakup. I had broken up with someone. And then the next day, I get to set and the scene is a breakup scene. And I just used everything.

Boom, boom, boom. Like, everybody's like, oh my God, that performance. I'm like, meanwhile, you don't know, I really just. This is my life. Yeah, but again, I'm thankful for the outlets, man. They saved me for sure. How many times did y'all break up before y'all really broke up? Maybe like two, three.

Yeah, two, three. But yeah, I'm in a good place now. I'm really, really thankful. You know, like I said, God does the hardest part. But again, I would tear my Achilles. I get broken up with a million times over to feel high film there. I'm glad that you started going to do it a billion times. How helpful was, you know, you going to therapy prior?

How did that, like, I guess, lessen the blow? It's super helpful. I think it's the talking about it I think my whole life Most men you know It's like I'm fine Even when I talk to my homies Excuse me that right

And do music When I was telling me about the album They were like dude man you can't You can't give her this shit You can't write all this stuff It's too emotional No you need to go into the club right That's how most guys handle their shit

I'm sad I'm gonna go fucking something And I'm gonna try and forget about it What'd you say? I'm gonna go be cool outside And I'm gonna have some food and something And hopefully And hopefully feel better about it. You feel what I'm saying?

But that's how most people do with this. So that's why this album is really special because I think people should see someone like me expressing these types of feelings and just being honest. And I feel way lighter afterwards, you know? What did you learn about yourself? In relationships after your therapy,

after doing I love you. What did you learn about myself? Oh, man. I deserve more. Honestly. I felt like, we all are successful in what we do and sometimes you feel like a shame for it

and you feel like whoever you're with especially if they're not on that level that they get to beat you down more because you can quote unquote take it or because you have more even when you break up you know people are going to the girl like oh my god are you okay like you know and the guy just like

you know I was torn you know I was a mess but yeah I think I learned too in relationships that I deserve more you know what I'm saying and yeah There's a lot. That's a long list. But I learned higher.

Do you fear being alone? Absolutely. Oh, okay. Absolutely. Because on one foot in, you say, catch a batty, by the toe. If you love or let it go, but it's hard. We need somebody. We need a couple creatures, man.

We're supposed to be with somebody. Not necessarily true. I mean, I think it's the natural order of things, but definitely, dude. I definitely had issues. You know, I slept in my big brother's room until, you know, I was like 14, 15, because I just hated sleeping in the dark, being on myself. Like, I always wanted somebody to let me, and also just being alive. Guys, we're on Earth in the middle of space, okay?

It's hard to be like, you're like, what is this? So it helps when you have somebody sharing that experience close to you. But absolutely. I feel like I've done that a bunch. I've, you know, done some crazy things just to not be alone. But I'm learning now that the right person, too, will encourage that of you. You know, you need some space. You need some, you know what I mean?

Were you a teddy bear type of guy, pit? What's that mean? Like, did you sleep with a teddy bed after, you know, after you stopped? No, but I'm a TV guy. TV, okay. I have to have a TV on. I can't all sleep. My mind is too loud.

My mind is way louder than any TV, any music. So when it's, when it's dark and it's quiet, it's just, you don't meditate? Thank you. Huh? You don't meditate? Um, I should more. But I do, I do meditate, but I just don't do it as often as I should. I'm doing this thing now where I look up like 48 or what's the hurts.

That's good for the, um, oh, yeah, the frequency. Yeah, the frequency is about play. on Apple music or I'll put on some like meditation morning music or just relaxing because I'm going to go So when you say when you sit in the quiet and your thoughts are too loud what are those thoughts

Like you're not doing enough do more You should have done this Hey what when are you going to finish that script You said you was going to write Hey you have to shoot tomorrow Are you going to kill that? Are you going to do good So you can't even go to sleep? Yeah it's hard It's really hard yeah it's just

You know and then again why am I here What am I supposed to do? Am I doing the right thing And I always lean on love. That's why everything I made is make in life kind of revolves around that, especially musically. Because that's the only thing that I can keep going with. It's like I love my family. I love God.

I love people, even random strangers I meet. Like, I'll have a better day if I just go out and see somebody behind the cash register. And they're like, hey, have a good day. I'm like, that's what it's about, right? Like, you should just be cool to each other. Where does those pressures that make your mind so loud come from? Is it because you've been doing this since you were younger

and you've been successful? Is it that chase or is it just You feel like you got a lot to do? I feel like I got a lot to do Even when I was young I didn't feel like too much I don't feel a lot of pressure I don't think you find

You get pressure until you realize the why right Like I knew what I wanted No I'm agreeing with you I understand the feeling Yeah I knew what I wanted to do I was like I want everybody in the world to know me I want to be famous I want to dance I want to sing I want to be on stage

And then I got to the point I was like why Oh I'm carrying something and it's bigger than myself And I think that's when the pressure and the brain is like, yo, you know, and then my kids, which I don't have, but I put a lot of pressure on myself to have answers for them. I was going to say, travel where the hell you get kids from? Okay, all right. But even if I, you know what I'm saying?

Even if I don't have them, I just want to be able to have, even if I don't have the answers for them, I want to give them something, you know. So I put a lot of pressure on myself for that too. I just want to be a good dad. I don't want to be a good husband and, like, you know, get it right. How old are you? 20, just turned 29. Okay.

You said that like it's old. My knees, my back. You do realize that there's never probably going to be a time where you haven't figured all this. Yeah. So there's no need to beat yourself up. Like, you know, give yourself grace. Like, you know, every new year is a journey.

Literally every new day is a journey. So it's good to be on this path of self-discovery and just trying to figure out, you know, what works for you. But don't beat yourself up about it. Thank you, man. Not knowing where you feel like you're supposed to be because you really don't even know who you are.

Right. You act, you sing, and that might not even be what you're even here to do. Yeah. You have no idea. Like, congratulations on Gray's Anatomy. That is, that is big. Thank you. I love Raised Anatomy.

How did that happen? That was crazy. So I didn't even think I auditioned, you know, I think I had a few auditions about a week that were just like on, you know, recording. Why can I think of the name? Sitting in the tapes, whatever. And it was just a quick, like, audition. And I was like, oh, this is a dope role. And I really thought that they weren't going to call me back.

It was like maybe a few weeks. maybe a month after, so I had forgotten about it. And they're like, oh, yeah, the Gray's name of the day went show. I was like, what? And it's funny, because when I'm doing one, I'm itching to do the other thing. So I'll be on set. I'm like, man, I can't wait to make a song. And then when I was on tour, I got off tour, and I was like, man, I want to be back to on set again.

You know, because I was on growners for six years, six and a half years. And I had missed being on set. And now, this is one of those things in life. I feel like we all get to a point where it just feels like monotonous. It's like, here's another day. But when I get to go and be a little bit nervous about something or have a little bit of like anxiousness And I'm just learning so much

You know, like as an actor and as a doctor Not a real doctor, but they have real doctors on set That are always just like, hey, this is how you pick this up You would never hold this like this You know what I mean? Your hands don't go below your waist And operating like a whole bunch of things That I had no idea about

And the set is just sick, dude Everybody's sweet, everybody's nice Embracing, encouraging And that's the kind of environment You want to work in for sure What made you nervous about it? It's a legendary show You know, 22 years

And a lot of big actors came off of that show And they are still on that show And I think too It's the It's the extra element of being a doctor And I've never been to school For any type of thing, doctor So that's kind of like where the nerves are

It's like Although I'm acting naturally Like with a doctor sit his hand Like you know I'm just trying to like That type of stuff But it's dope I'm trying to just be as comfortable as I can be

You have to fight the older white women off With a stick It's fun though The live code, if it's something different, when you put a live coat on, you got the, what's it called, the dog, I should know this. The stethoscope. Yeah. Oh, that's why he was nervous.

He don't need no one. You feel me? I'm like, where's this script? Show me the word, and how to pronounce that? Yeah. It's Shonda rhymes on set at all? She is not, I have not married, but all her people are on her team. Yeah.

But everybody's dope. Yeah. I'm excited. It's a great, great job. And they're going to be a regular on there. Let's go! That's amazing, Trent. I'm stoked, man.

I'm stoked, man. honestly it came at the perfect time and you call it a new EP I love you it's the beginning of a series right we're in the beginning stages and obviously there'll be more stuff and it'll all come together makes sense but this is the first little dipping the tone in the pool just kind of even like

what you were saying the new sound yeah I want people to really you know rediscover me again in that way because I think I'm making music from such a real place and Ed Sharon is a huge inspiration of mine again I wasn't making this to sound like that but a lot of people who hear the music like, it's Ed Shearing.

It's like, let's go. That's the vibe. That's the energy. And it takes records like that and songs like that. You know, that guy can be in a stadium standing by himself with the guitar. Doesn't need dancers, doesn't need lights because the music is so real. And that's kind of what I was after. I just saw him this weekend.

For real? Was it incredible? Yeah, he performed at the IHaw Festival. I mean, I've been to a lot of Ed concerts in my life, but he performed at the IHaw Festival. And you're absolutely right. And he makes these records that just like, if you are in love with him, individual like perfect shape of you yeah yeah it's just like nuts ballads what was the wedding song that everybody loved honey I

yeah yeah yeah yeah 17 yes yeah big it out loud oh my god fire you never know the song titles to nothing he just not sing in it yeah yeah I like Ozzy's arm a lot too the new Johnny did okay he's cold bro he did he did put out a new album yeah you do drop the new album was that play yeah he's cold what do you oh I'm sorry I was going to ask, what do you think it'll take for people to, like, really, I guess not, because you said you're in a rediscovery mode with your music and your sound. The music is so good, but I feel like people don't know that it's there. What do you think it will take for people to get it? Consistent quality, and that's all I've been.

I mean, if people go back and listen to all my records, like, and I hope that people do, there's just intention and there's quality in the music. And I think, you know, I can't concern myself with others, you know, I just got to continue to make the best stuff I can. And people catch on when they're supposed to. And if they're not, they're not. But I make music for me first. And so that's how, yeah. A lot of your covers have been going viral and then get picked up a lot. Yeah.

Do you feel like the covers have been helping you in this rediscovery phase or the traditional marketing of music that, like, labels and stuff do? Like, what has helped you best? I think that. So I'm glad you brought that up because my brother kind of like twisted my arm to do the team mixes, right? The remixes that I do. I didn't want to do them.

I was like, I worked too hard. I've worked too hard to just put free music out and actually spend the amount of time I do to make those I don't just BS them like I try to make the best verse I can. I'm Jorge Ramos And I'm Paola Ramos

I advocate for safety and awareness of predators while wearing pink.

When you were described to me as a forensic psychologist, I was like snooze. We ended up talking for hours, and I was like, this girl is my best friend. This is a podcast where I cut through the noise with sarcasm, satire, and hard truths. I'm not going to fake it and force it for me. But would you force an orgasm? Because that's like a different layer. The car accident you didn't want to see, but couldn't turn away from.

Listen to intentionally disturbing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm saying the best I can, you know what I mean? Yeah, right. And so I was like, I'm getting this for free. This is me. This is all of me. And my brother's like, Trevor, do you think you'll ever not? be able to write a song and I was like no he's like do the team mixes bro he's

like you're gonna have millions of new ideas you're gonna be fine he's like but you need to let everybody know that you're on these people's level if not better than all these people so do it and I was like big I love you know I I do love that I I can relate to you and your brother with that I can see how he's like yo just put it out there but sometimes I'll listen I be like no this run could have went on a Trevor Jackson song and not the cover but you know your voice is just thank you so much I really appreciate that. Thanks.

I want to know, what are some of your influences? Brian McKnight, Gary Laveau, Stevie, Donnie Hathaway, Boys to Men. Oh, we got to talk about that. Sean Stockman and Juan Ye from Boys to Men. Those are also, like, people who affirmed me, and I was like, okay, I don't need to prove myself. These two guys, I was like almost crying when I first met them here at the BMI Awards.

I was like, you guys don't understand. Like, I started getting emotional, and they were like, is this guys? Like, a lot of people think I'd BS because I'm like, an actor or something. I'm fake. I'm like, bro, I'm about to start, I don't think you understand. Like, I listened to you my whole life, bro. I sat for hours trying to riff like you. And he was like, I just want to let you know you're doing

us proud, man. You're doing us proud. Everything you do we see it. It's incredible. And don't let nobody tell you, man, you're carrying a torch for us. All this stuff. And I'm just like, what? And I'm just talking about music. They weren't talking about music. They were probably talking about acting. Now, why would you come up? You're just a baldhead clown

because why would you say that he's talking about music? And he almost cried. And he and Sean is from what boys and Maybe they hired them. They didn't know movies. No, I'm saying, but they probably meant this as a black man, young black man. You're carrying a toy if you like what you're doing. Nah.

We're representing us well. We'll call them up. Did they specifically say music when they were talking to you? Yes. It was clearly about music. We were at BMI ward and they were talking about my music and my music and vocally just... Oh, well, you ain't get to that part. You didn't say that.

He literally said it all. He literally said it. Started with that. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Got you. Yeah. But when I had their stamp of approval, I stopped down to myself and that

that way and yeah man I'm going hard that's good because I'd be wondering how many people know Trevor Jackson actually does music yeah because even if they see you doing covers it's like okay he might just be yeah he might just be playing or whatever but yeah that's why I think music like this though I don't think you can just play around and make these types of songs yeah yeah I'm about to put out they're very very personal and connected you know what does real love look like to you that's a great question um I think uh real love to me is selfless I don't think there's selfishness in love a real love I

don't think there's ego and a real love and I think the constant wanting the best for the other person is something that I think is super powerful like somebody who just wants you want you to be your best and but also isn't too pushy it's a balance you know what I mean but I think it's a dance like you were talking about earlier I don't think you ever fully figured out or ever have it right but I think when you have someone that's constantly wanting to be best for you and wanting you to operate at the highest version of you, that's somebody that really loves you.

Now, are you not a free, but are you scared to date again, basically? No. No. I'm happy. Yeah, you're happy, but you're single right now. Or are you? I love this. I love coming on the show.

Did I get to tell you, thank you, though, for having me back up here. You always like show love and let me to come up and promote my stuff. Oh, he is good. I appreciate it. like what you're doing, you carried a torch for us, you're up, what the boys are going to say? What? Jerry the George.

They said it. You can call. I hope they come on the shirt so you can eyes. I went through to have. Yeah. Right now. He's pretty damn good. You got to talk about Grace?

Are you single? Are you? I'm super happy right now. That's the thing. Okay. You know, I'm just in so much joy. He is definitely happy. You got some cutty last night.

Something's going on. Look at this. Hey, life is good. All I got to say is. Better and better. Okay. Better and better. Oh, I like that.

I like that. All right. Are you a homeless romantic? Yes. Yeah. And I think it's, I totally am. I was going to try to elaborate. Yeah, I definitely am.

I love, love. Yeah. I love to be loved. I love to love. And I think that's from my family. Honestly, dude, I come from an incredible, incredible family. My grandmother, my grandfather just passed away recently, RIP. But these are people that just instilled love into every single.

child, grandchild, the men, the women, like, that's just what I come from, and I can't operate on anything other than that. What version of yourself do you think this project reflects? What version of myself do I think this project reflects? I think it's my most emotional album. I think it's the most, yeah, emotional. I'm really in tune with him.

I'm telling you, there's one record on the album. You can, like, hear me crying in the back. My brother, I was mad that he kept it on the mix. But he was like, no, we need this. We need this. This is real tragedy. What you want? Can we listen to the EP?

It's on the EP? It's on the album. But the EP is a, you know, a part of it. What songs are all on the EP? Sorry, I should know this, but I'll tell you right now. Let's see, let's talk about some of the record. You got it right here. Do you guys like friend of a friend?

Which one is? You can mess with that? This one. We have... The one he was playing earlier. Blast and that shit. I was like, damn, this shit. Go to a TV show, a movie.

Go write a movie TV. They sent us love don't want me. We're fighting for. fighting for one foot in collection and I thought you collection is probably my favorite though excuse me on that because

yeah I'm not going to be another broken heart that you add to your collection that's why I have to put it to an end before it starts don't let's what I said before it starts don't want to

I want to let you add me to your collection don't want to be another broken heart and then at the end the second hook flips right because you're going to be another broken heart that I don't want you to be another broken heart add to my collection we both aren't good at love

but we're trying to hang on to this thing So yeah, that's probably my favorite song on there But the whole EP is cold I love how intentional you are right Because the EP is I love you And then the album is goodbye EPs I love you, second EPs goodbye The album is I love you goodbye

Very intentional That's dope Yeah, I'm telling you As much as that heard I did that when I heard I love you I was like mm That could be fired Is she an artist too?

No Oh so you're just going to get a long Instagram posting That'll be the reply Probably Yeah I think it's funny how everybody just thinks that they know the real story

you all know the real story after I said goodbye he had called me back and I'm surprised period because what I love you got goodbye mean is call me again

you should have email me what's the song you think that cost you the most emotionally to make that I was like probably ooh strong enough That's on the album

Strong Enough and Movies The Movies is the song that you can hear me crying In the background like at the end of the song Because I made this section at the end That sounds like weeping But it's like my voice is like And I was like listening back doing the alib But he kept it so that was a lot

And then But strong enough is At the end I was just kind of Begging and pleading Dang so basically Alright hold up So he like used your weeping As like a tool

Like he did something to it to make it Yeah, yeah He enhanced it But I was doing harmonies But I was making them sound like cries Like long cries And then I'm in the back Like you'll hear it when they actually hear

I play it all that's dope The only other artists I heard Do that and their weeping sounded good Was Friday Friday Yeah he does good so Yeah definitely cold So I can't wait to hear that I can't when the camera I played a little son

So is it gonna be hard to perform those records No I think maybe And it probably won't even be Because I'm thinking about that thing But just the emotion of the song Yeah I cry I almost cried during National Anthem.

I'm not saying that both times. I'm like, that ain't really emotional song. But I'm up here and I'm singing and everyone's out of here. It's impactful. That's good. I just feel a shit. Passion.

I can't. I can't have it. I'll be feeling shit. Listen, man, Trevor Jackson. Always a pleasure when you pull up. Guys, thank you, man. I really appreciate you guys, man. I love you.

Got you. I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. It's okay. There you go. It's Trevor Jackson. It's the Blackies Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fat. She gets him from somebody that knows somebody. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

She'd be having the latest on this. 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. I want to send a congratulations

that we should send a congratulations to Nas. Absolutely. Congratulations. Yes. So him in Resorts World, New York City, who he is in a partnership with, have received a unanimous approval to bring the $5.5 billion

to Queens or the extension of the casino that is already in Queens. So this happened in a 6-0 vote from a community advisory board. Now they're just in like the final approval stages. They're waiting for a decision from the gaming, a gaming facility, which is also like a location board. But the plan is to have this all up and running

by July 2026. July 2026, wow, that's fast. Yeah, so along with a state of the... To get up and... Well, to have... That's fast. Because aren't they just bringing, so here's an extension. It's an extension, but here's what a $5.5 billion extension?

Well, that's according to Rolling Stone. That's according to Rolling Stone. Okay. Now, along with the state of the art casino and 30 eateries, resort world will open a 7,000 person capacity entertainment venue to bring concerts, games, and events to the area. They will also be bringing with this extension 24,000 new jobs to Queens and over $1 million in revenue.

to the borough just within its first year Drop in the coupons for Nause, man. That's what it's about. Queens get the money. I'm rooting for him. I hope him in his investment group Resort World Casino make it all the way

to the finish line and they get the casino license. Number one, it's simply great business for Nause. I love seeing brothers, especially from hip-hop, do that kind of big business. And number two, I like seeing the investment group, and I hope the investment group is making investments

in the community of Queens. I love seeing all those jobs create. Yeah, that's dope. Congratulations to Nause. And I also want to say it has nothing to do with Jay Z's casino, because I seen people pitting the two against each other. The same people that approved the one in Queens had nothing to do with the one in the city.

It's totally two different things. But the community advisory committee in Queens is petty, because y'all Queens people are petty. Why not? Do we have that audio? Yes, we do. So, Queensland, Donovan Richards, Jr., spoke as he voted for this to happen, and he took some shots at Jay-Z. Let's take a listen. With that being said, I'm getting ready

to vote, and there's a theme in Queens, and I know Nas is a part of this. Queens get the money. Sorry, Jay-Z, we went again. That was a call for. Let the Brooklyn Borough President know that I send my regards to him. That being said, I vote I.

Yeah, that was petty. That was a call, funny. I'll take it. I do hope the community advisory committee in Queens, Donovan Richards, I hope you all are pushing a Resort World Casino to make the same kind of community investments. That Rock Nation and S.L. Green

we're going to make if they would have got to Seasons in Times Square because that's what's important. You know, the jobs and, you know, the investment in the community improvements, the public health, the safety, the arts education. Those casinos make billions of dollars, so make sure some of that goes back to those communities. I'm sure if Nause is part of it,

I'm sure it absolutely is going back to the hood. Yes, and I want to correct myself, I said Rolling Stone is Billboard. So Billboard stated that the resort world officials hope that the Southeast Queens Casino will open doors by July 2020. Yeah, they got a, I think they proved too in the city. They proved one in Westchester, and they proved that one in Queens.

And both of them are already casinos. they just had a slot machine so now they will have the actual tables and shows and things like that. There's no way they're going to be able to do that expansion. No way. By June to 2026. Maybe it's a rollout of like different phases so maybe they bring some things like that start and then I don't know.

They still haven't got to full of approval. They still haven't got to prove about a gaming board. This was just the first level of approval. Yeah, they've got to get gaming board approval. Go on by what is listening here. They've got to build. There's no way. That was an error. But congratulations. Yes. So let's ask. Dropping a clues months for Nause and a result. Now.

What's up? You know him? He's from Queens. I know every Donovan and Queens, I'm sure. Is he Haitian? Probably Jamaican. Oh, Jamaican? No, you just know every Donovan.

Donovan. Yeah, so in other music news, Metro Boomin yesterday was found not liable in a civil sexual assault trial that was going down in L.A. The jury was a panel of five men, three women, and these allegations,

they basically found that this woman did not prove what she was claiming. Now, Metro Booman was being supported in court by a ton of different people. Notably, Young Thug was there the day before the decision was made. But Metro Booman shared some words as he was leaving out of the courtroom. Let's take a listen. How are you feeling? Bless, I'm relieved. What was it like to be on that stand?

I never thought I ever had to do anything like that. It's just a relief, man. It's a burden lifted off my back. You know, just get back to my family and continue to do the great things that's right. thank you he better to me because I'd have just been like take me through that

take me through that take me through that take me through that that would have been my statement well yeah well yeah so I mentioned that young thug

was in court supporting him who's also been pretty busy he dropped a project today UY Scooty with a ton of different features on there one of the features that of course everyone is pointing to

is one from YF and Lucci because you guys know they have had a very shaky pass they were beefing for some time now they just didn't they just shoot at each other well not physically online yeah online yes so young thug

and wife and lucci have had a turbulent history online a few days ago young thug posted a photo and he tagged wife and lucci in the caption and it said f wife and lucci responded but I kind of figured it was promo and it was because they're both featured on each other's albums so young thug is on

luci's album that dropped a and Lucci is on Thugs. I knew it was promo when they both was doing that because both of them on parole. Mm-hmm. Okay. And neither one of them about, they're not about to play with that.

Damn. Yes. I'm glad they squashed their beef. I am too. I think that's big for the city. And you know what's crazy is? There was a lot of people that were kind of like upset that they squashed it.

And I'm like, why would y'all be upset when y'all been screaming at Thug and all these people to move on and do better things? I know I saw a comment from 21 Savage that said if now these young men continue to beef end up back in jail, y'all would say they wasted opportunity, but they're doing something good, and this is what y'all point to. So, you know, I'm just happy to see them in doing this. And I know Lucci sat down with Wallo for Where's Wallo?

And the conversation was great. It's about, you know, just the different mindset that he has coming home after all this time and losing friends and, you know, just all the things and where his focus is right now. So I'm glad to see them both back focused. Well, they said that, remember when Gizi and Gucci, when they squashed their beef, people were like, well, why are they squashing the beef? I mean, you want people to squash the beef, right? If they could stop that, stop the bloodshed and stop the beef and to make money together. And that beef was crazy.

I got to go watch the Wallo and YFN Lucci. I'm not going to fly, though. I was looking forward to Lucci sitting down with Big Bank. I'm looking forward to all of them sitting down with Big Bank. Yes, I want to see Lucci sit down with Big Bank. I want to see Gunner sitting down with Big Bank on perspective. So, you know, look do I got Walo though. That should still happen.

And also I want to mention Lucci's album is called Already Legend. I didn't say the name of the album. That is also out today as well, too. Yes. So go listen to all the good music. It's a lot of good music out today. All right. And I want you all to know, I see, I'm looking at the Twitch chat right now,

When we come back I see that one I see that one Now that was right there That was there He's about to make something up He's about to make it up Make something up

Make something up When we come back Deval Ellis and Crystal Hayslet We'll be joining us You know them from sisters Tyler Perry's sisters Season 9 And Zatima

Season 4 What you see Guy make something up No I don't want to say What I did see I know it I knew it It's the breakfast club Good morning

The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club morning everybody is dj envy just hilarious shalamine the guy we are the breakfast club long la rosa is here as well we got some special guests in the building yes indeed it seemed like you're on every show right now the valis and crystal hazelet welcome good good for first of all i want to salute y'all for getting here because listen traffic we walked and they had to pat everybody yeah you had to walk the middle They put us out the car in to figure it out. I was like, I gotta get there.

I was like, what? I'm from New York, so this was easy for me. I was like, walk down 55th. We'll get there. Tell me blocked you at the walk, this too? Yes, too. It wasn't bad, yeah. That ain't bad.

Season four. Yes. Yeah, crazy. Yes. Two episodes in, obviously, the season aired, September 11th. Yo. Zetima. Yeah, Zetima.

Absolutely. My bad, I'm going straight in because I'm watching my video. They're like, which one is right? So, all right, I want to know why. the storylines don't add up. Between sisters. Zatima and sisters, yo. Break out what's happening first for people that don't know.

All right, yeah. Y'all go ahead and break it down. So this is the biggest thing. There's a six-month gap in between Zatima and sisters. And this is what, when people try to understand the show, I explain it like this, sisters was about the four sisters and now the fifth. Zach's character was an ancillary character. He was an antagonist to Karen.

And then he became Fatima's love interest. So Zatima is the story about Zach and Fatima and sisters is about what Zach was when he was with Karen. So there's like a six-month gap in between. So when you watch the show simultaneously, you like it don't make sense. She's pregnant in one. She's not pregnant in another. It's confusing. Different storylines. Okay. Different timelines. All right. So sisters is ahead. So when you see Zach, no, the team is ahead. Yeah. When sisters, when Zach is acting crazy, he's seen like he ain't go through therapy yet, it's because he hasn't on sisters. Okay. That's why the Zach on Zatima is a lot more

calm. He's been through therapy. When sisters comes back, is it going to catch up? It needs to. We've been talking about that. We've got to jump. There needs to be a time jump somewhere. Because it's the same audience. So it needs to be cohesive.

Did Tyler forget? Like, why did he write it like that? Sometimes I think he do forget. He wrote eight shows at one time. But I think he had a plan for the team. I think he wanted to be his own thing. He wanted to be separate. I don't think he expected.

To be honest, I don't think he expected sisters to be. on TV for this long We've done 10 seasons Damn already Yeah we've done 10 seasons already Like if you think about that's a lot of vision God damn I'd be flying

He don't stop it He don't stop either He's still going But to have something on TV for six years And people are locked into the sisters And they also are like cult audience About the teens Yes that's so true

Yeah Even the Andy situation Even that Yeah I don't want to give a you know Give it away with this like On sisters I mean, well, what on Zatima, right? How she was jealous because the team of getting all of the attention.

I mean, my sister, she was getting all attention from the NFL players, you know, helping with the contracts and everything. She ain't getting attention. But on, you know, on the other show, you know, she, Andy saved a lot. I mean, Zach saved Andy's life. Yes. You know what I mean? So when.

No, see, well, that's both the same show. This is why it's confusing. That's exactly to your point Exactly People are confused Because there's two shows on at the same time And Andy was first like her homie But now

Fatima moving up She was the girl who was the assistant And she was the one that was behind the scenes But now she's about to get her law degree And I think Andy is a little bit jealous I think it's a little bit like Wait you don't got time to do this stuff I want you to do

Because what she's working on is like really big It's the case for Karen And the doctor and the doctor and how he's mishandling women in labor. So what she's working on is very important, I think. Fatima's just getting caught up and actually growing and what she has going on and seeing like, wait, this is my chance. And it's real relatable because you do got real situations like that

with friend groups and things like that. Do y'all have friends that hit y'all outside the show? Like, yo, I went through that or all the time. Right now at work? Absolutely. Yes, no, absolutely. I feel like every season there's something, whether it's a friend or a fan that stops us and says

I'm going through that right now or I've been through that it's so relatable for sure I got two close friends that got three baby mothers who was just like Zach's story and I have a friend particularly who broke up with his girl

got back with her she got pregnant and then it was like dang my new girl is pissed because my old girl is pregnant and they still worked it out like the new girl and the old girl they found a way to co-parent together because not everybody is toxic

some people find ways to make things work So a lot of people are like, yo, watching y'all go through this was my life. Yeah. Yeah, I love to say to yourself, man, we didn't new stories. You know how back in the day our parents used to the grandparents used to watch their stories. I go watch my stories. They're all right, boys, people.

Y'all are new stories. Isn't it crazy? A prime time soap opera. Yeah, it's crazy. People tune in every week, just like our grandparents did every day. I explained. Grandparents, mama's did. My mom watch all my children.

And be mad at y'all. I'll be mad at y'all sometimes. I'll be like, man, I hope that only can't even call. I get it all the time today because this episode is messed up. You get it all the time? People give you the middle finger the street all the time. And both shows don't make it good for you. Both shows.

Because Zach's character is very divisive. He was written to being antagonist to these ladies. So when people be like, he'd get on my nerves, that's what he was supposed to do. But when they see me, they just like, I can't stand you. I'm like, I'm doing my job. And then on the Tima, he still has the same remnants. So he does stuff too for Tima that even when I'm reading it, I'm like, I'm like, I'm Corker Ramos.

I'm like, I don't know. The people pull you to the side and start asking you questions, be like, why would you do that? Like, it's really you?

Yeah. And do you answer it in character? Yes You have to Even just now Right I'm defending Fatima I'm like Andy

He's jealous Because Zach I see it that way I literally went back into it But when you step back And think about it Like she's supposed To be supporting a woman

Doing a job That's supposed to be Supporting black women And she's not Fatima's wrong in that But Zach don't see that Andy jealous That's the way Zach see it

So when I talk to people I talk to him Like it's the stories I'm like yeah Zach gonna do What he want to do I don't give a F of you man And they'd be like

I can't believe you act like this. I'm like, that's my character, baby. And I'm going to give you the utmost props because you are not even a mom, but the way you are carrying on, like, baby mama, all of that, like, you know what I'm saying? Giving up for the pregnant. Take it.

You tap in the channel to get, because I know you are Godmother. You do have beautiful children in your life. But what did you, did you call up, Kadeen? Like, look, how was you acting? Well, I was around. I saw how she was acting. Yeah, when she was pregnant with Dakota. My sister recently had a daughter and my

brother just had a son so I've seen it while they were pregnant we've been on vacation so I like I study everybody in the movements how they get up how they walk and it's so crazy I had to go get realigned after that season because of like pushing up with one arm

oh you thought just a pregnant woman for real I gotta get into it I'm like what you want to do a guy brother oh yeah I had to my first of all the prosthetic belly is so heavy and then just like getting up and pushing like with one arm

how a pregnant mother would I can't imagine like the pain that they're really in carrying a baby and then like that oh it was bad my back was all jacked up and shoulder so you're still good with being a rich auntie in real life you're good

absolutely yeah I love it the power of acting right see is it true she one of your godmother yes that's the coldest godmother oh okay yeah so I got to see Kadi while she was pregnant that was the latest one that I actually got to see

to watch and study how they move how well does that work for you guys on screen like because you have a real life relationship but also when does it hurt that you have a real life relationship and you guys are working together on school? Oh, what scene was season was at this is one that, okay, now I'm getting mixed up

what sure it was. It was a season where we were really at odds. Season two of Zetima. Yeah, so we couldn't even like talk like in real life. He remembers it season two. Season two? We actually got into an argument because we weren't talking.

We're very close. Like her and me, her and my wife are close. Me and her are close. We talk like every single the day. We're doing season two. I'm getting into Zach mode and Zach's not feeling Fatima. So I'm not texting. I'm not calling. We're not talking. Damn. And she's just like, yo,

Dee, what's up? And I'm just like, what's up? Don't what's up me? Right now? No, we was really having conversations. I was like, listen, in order for me to go to my job, because people don't understand this too. I do not remember this. We filmed 20 episodes in 10 days. Jesus. So how am I supposed to be happy, go lucky with you one minute and then be

angry? And then this season was I found out that my mom and my brother was going through drug stuff. I talked about my dad and I was going through therapy. I had to cry like every other scene. So I was really just in a bad place. And a lot of time, people are realists with actors. You wear that when you walk around. Like when I'm in a bad place at Zach and I got to go do something,

sometimes the remnants come out. And sometimes I have to apologize to people like, my fault. Like I didn't mean that. And in that situation, it was like that. You know, we got into argument and I said, y'all don't think I can do this. I remember after seeing me too, I can't do this. more. She's like, what you mean? And I was like, it's just a lot. It's heavy to me this character.

So you're a method actor, for real, for real. Yeah. Seriously, yeah. I am. Like, um, the last couple years has been a lot. I did another project with Courtney where my character went through a lot. I lost my daughter. Oh, shout out to old gray mirror. And I had to do press while filming. And I broke down in an interview. Matter of fact, it was the essence interview where I broke down and I was like, I'm tired, I'm exhausted. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did see that. I had just come off of filming, O'Gray mayor where I lost my daughter in a tragic accident. So I really was just exhausted mentally

and I'm doing the interview and I was tired and I broke down and people like, damn what is he going through? And I'm like I was going through it but I was in character so I was going to ask so when you had that when you shoot 10 days and you're in character that long do you not go home or you be like babe I'm just going to get a hotel next to? I don't go home. I stay on

campus and stay on campus and we lock in because even my kids don't like seeing me like that. I'm auditioning for projects now. I'm walking around, staying lines in my head, going through stuff. And they just, like, dad, going through something. Right. But that's what actors go through, and people don't realize it's a real thing.

But I love what I do. And I love that I have somebody like, this is my homie, my best friend. When I'm going through something, she'll be like, bro, you are deval right now. Yeah. When I saw that essence interview, I remember calling you, I'm like, bro, like, you're putting a lot on yourself right now. And I've been on him about therapy. I'm like, you need to go talk to somebody. Because I feel like black men, like, they hold up.

up everything and everyone around them and as a friend I can see like this it's a lot on you right now and I could see it in real time on that interview and I was like I know my friend is hurting right now she called me yeah it wasn't no text no DM she called me so yo and I was like what's up she's like face on me he's like what's going on and a lot of people don't realize that like when you're going through stuff you really need people to give you grace yeah empathy and shout out to like y'all too for talking about this you talk about this you talk about mental health all the time with men. And that's why I actually love playing Zach

because Zach is going through a lot. He lost his child and I lost my child. So doing that scene and sisters and now having to go through this was the Tima my home girl here do you remember the scene? I remember yes. The end of season four

is a scene. It's a real bad scene and it goes back to when I watched gay Miss Carrie. And we're doing the scene, everybody's shooting fast. I go, that was dope. I go back in a tent. Lost it. Lost it. I'm trying.

And then my barber comes in and it's just like, what's the matter? I'm like, I need somebody. So they get Crystal. Crystal come in, she, they call Kay. And they're like, Devile, you're all right? I said, y'all don't realize when you go through that trauma and that pain and you got to bring it back up to show people, it don't just go away. And I had to think about that for weeks afterwards.

So it's good to have somebody that this journey I'm doing with somebody, I love it. But shout out to y'all for talking about mental health. You talk about it all the time, too, and because as a father, I think you got six kids now? Six, yep. Six. People don't know until that man break down how much he had to carry before it was like, it's enough now. You know, we allow black women, we don't even allow black women to vent as much as we should, but we allow our women to vent more than men. But in Zatim specifically, we are talking about mental health for black man, and I appreciate it.

DeVille, have you given Crystal any time? tips on her new podcast because she's launching a podcast called Keep It Positive, sweetie. On the Black Effect. Period. Come on, Black Effect. Well, actually, I will say

I was one of the people that told her she should have a podcast. I know that's right. Yes. One thing I want to do is see all my friends win. I want to come, I want to call all my friends

when they be like, yo, we all going here on this island. So when she started talking to me about her story and her journey and everything that she believes and I was like, you should like talk about this. She out there doing her thing and people are doing her.

That felt good. And I'm telling you, make sure. I tune in to keep it positive, sweetie. I know I do. Make sure I tune in. It's going to be, I can't make the announcement, right? Well, he just did.

He has coming to. Oh, yeah. He just did. He just did. You know what I'm saying? Make sure you tune in and keep it positive, sweetie. What can they expect, Kristen? Same, you know, right now.

I mean, this is our, we're in two years in, more of just showing people that we're more alike than we're not. Yes. More of bringing people closer to Christ. More of welcoming people. Because I feel like the Christian community, has done such a great job at pushing people away. I wanted people to

feel seen and feel loved and know that hey, you're good here. You know, so. I just got some pushback on that. On Instagram, I posted. I talked about church hurt. You know, I talked about how, um, like I said I'm not anti-church. I'm not anti-God because I'm not, but I just don't believe in going to

the same church family that I felt like did me so dirty every Sunday to save face. So I haven't found a church home yet. And I guess people got upset because I said I wasn't in church every Sunday but that's just my story I can't sit out here and just say I believe in God and praise God and the people like well I don't see you in church well this is

why I got my feelings hurt I felt judged and I'm looking for the right place you know we have a you know I do my mental wealth expo every year and we have a panel about that specific topic a word yeah slew to my good sister Debbie Brown like that was her I did she we have a topic

about that in particular remember the episode we did with Brenda I had a bunch of different people from all different walks, backgrounds, sexual preference, everything, showing that we're not as far from God as we think we are. Because a lot of us feel like, shame and certain things were like, I can't even

talk to them. And when we all sat down, we were like, dang. Yeah. That's how I felt with church. Shame. Because I'm like, I don't always live perfectly. So if I go in on Sundays, they're going to just be talking about me, so I don't want to go. I literally felt shame. And shout out to Brenda, because Brenda...

Shout to Brenda Palmer. Yeah, Brenda Palmer made me feel so welcome. And she's not a judgmental person at all. She's the one that made me feel like like, yo, if everybody was more Christ like this, I would go every Sunday but it's hard because I know that I'm not living right. I'm trying. You know what I'm saying? But I'm not perfect. And I just don't

want to happy. But neither are the deacons and the ushers and all in I feel you. You all know that. My uncle. Well, go ahead. Well, yeah. Nothing. Just go ahead. But yeah. A little bit. And you know when they do the communion, it was liquor some of them.

It was liquor. Listen, y'all got to know that. Right. The new season is the team is on BET Plus right now. Right now. Thank you for joining us so much. Appreciate you guys. Thank you so much.

Big X the plug Mariah Mariah the scientists Nellie Nellie, Jemang Bucrean friends, and little Jonathan. We're going to get that mix on right now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. The World Most Dangerous Morning Show, the Breakfast Club.

Charlemagne, the guy, Envi and Jess on here, but Lauren LaRose is here. Our guy Charlie Mack pulled up, right? You know, Charlie Mack, he keeps something going on. Keep something. And Charlie Mac said he wanted to bring up some chocolates. Absolutely. Not just chocolate. Not just chocolate.

Put the mic. Get the mic. Premium. Premium. Premium chocolate. Fine chocolate. I got my man, Sheet here. Sheet is the CEO. What's up, Sheet? Of Banara chocolate, a family, very historical family called the Kalibu family.

Okay. Talk to him. Come on, talk to him, Shee. Give it to him to him, she. Yeah, we came from Canada. We're about to launch our products here in the United States. We do fine chocolates. We bought a company, I mean another person back in 2018, but it's a fifth generation

chocolate here. His family's been doing chocolate since 1911. Everything that we do is organic, natural, premium products, premium ingredients. We do a lot of community work out. back in Canada in terms of not just, like, you know, being a company that is profit-driven, but we also focused on a lot of, you know, giving back to the community and making, and making sure that we're being impactful in what we do as a cultural in our organization. So it's like what, second, third generation?

This is fifth generation. So our guy here is Bernard Calabo. He's a, so the brand here is, so we're launching new brands. We do, it's called, it's going to be called Bernard, just like, you know, we're, you know, building off his legacy, but, you know, so we're, We bought an existing company with him. He's been doing chocolates for 40 years himself. He's in Canada.

But like I said, he's a craftsman and everything that we do is premium. How did you connect with Charlie Mac? And what made you want to get into chocolate, Charlie? You know what? I'm going to be honest with you. I always, like I hear about, I've always been a candy guy, but I'm not a lot. I'm saying I'm always like chocolate. And then sugar, you know, again, diabetes is big enough.

So for me, when he told me, it was no like refined sugar. I was like, wow. And then he talked about the community aspect of it. So for me, that hit my heart, you know what I mean? I kind of pulled up my heartstring about like, okay, so we got a healthy dessert, you know what I'm saying, if you will, a premium dessert. Because when you taste it, right, like the, you haven't tried it yet, but the gummy, the gummy of chocolate gummy, it's a really rich kind of high-end, you know.

I don't even like gummies, and I've been tearing these milk chocolate-cover gummies. You can't eat, you won. So for me, I think the thing that really hit me was the community aspect. Okay. Anything that's going to kind of give back, and that's the thing he came to me with at first, I was like, okay, let's talk about. about it and then like I said the sugar we don't know in the community because we use sugar and salt so much it's like it's killing our community so for me it was

like no it's no it's no sugar correct yeah well no no no process sugar healthy options and then there's so many benefits in terms of people having cancer and things like that in terms of what we're provided so it's not just I'm saying we give you chocolate it's benefits from the infused situation yeah and so and and the reason for I guess with Charlie the the nice thing so it was it Just through someone from some Will Smith's team, K, a friend of mine introduced me to Charlie a couple of years ago. The real freshman, yeah, yeah, we've, you know, been connected now for a couple of years, but, you know, now he's, he's part of our team and even our management team. Like, we're out there trying to, you know, connect with people, different people and, you know, from different spaces.

So as we, you know, do things in the United States, both with our two companies, like the infused company and the regular chocolate company that we're connecting with the right people and we're finding ways to, like, Like I said, be impactful, like, you know, working with marginalized communities, inner city youth. I did, like, before I bought this company, I worked for the Prime Minister of Canada for three years as his main advisor for my province, which was Alberta. And so, but I have to have different businesses in my whole life. This is one that we bought eight years ago. I left that job when I bought this company just because it was a thing. But I guess when whatever we do, like we're trying to do, you know, I feel like even in the United States, like we're doing it, we're doing cannabis. but I feel like, you know, the, you know, economic empowerment,

trying to work with communities that don't get the opportunities that others do, others do, and so we don't have, like, all the answers on how we're going to do it. So we came with Charlie, and even that was part of the reason we wanted to meet with someone like yourself and talk about ways that we could, you know, be involved and actually be impactful, not just say, hey, we do this just because it sounds good for marketing purposes, but actually focus on the impact and let the, you know, the money and the revenue will drive in itself and will come and, you know, everyone can make some profit. I feel like there's more to business

and to doing things in life than that. You want to try to pressure with that. Yeah, I want to try the chocolate cover. Charlie, Mac. Charlie about to have his own chocolate factory. Yeah, that's the whole life. I'm going to say, you know about diversifying. We have to do that, right?

Absolutely. And at this stage in the life, I'm saying, we got to understand that everybody's not going to be Will JZ. Right? So we got to look at business in a different degree and we got to perform. Same thing about is a lot of things are kept from us, you know, in terms of business.

But there's a lot of different opportunities. So for me, seeing a person like your, like Lauren like myself to do something in the space of chocolate like something that we used every day all day right but we never thought about ownership and never thought about again

from the space of okay you make money but then when you make the money do you give back for me every time I'm saying whatever's not doing life what's to give back that's what it is for me you know what I mean

if I don't see a rule back to giving back to my community then I really don't want to do that because it doesn't matter to me that you're able to go out here and the mask you know great wealth and okay so now what are you doing with it

that's real you know what I mean so and again we're going to do it I'm talking about in terms of financial, but then at the same time, helping people without just going through anxiety. Like he said, in terms of sleeping, right? So when she says, it stabilizes them, you know what I mean?

So he finds ways for him. And a lot of creative people, I'm saying they've done with things, anxiety and things like, this is a situation where it's there. I don't go through it per se, but I work in a space where a lot of creatives. And so to me, I'm like, it's another way for us to kind of help them out. And it says, we're going to go talk with a couple of people.

So we came together, just kind of bare gifts and they rack with people and see what you think about. Thank you. It's good. I don't do gummy bears, but these milk chocolate cover gummy bears, I would eat these. I would actually buy these. And I love chocolate-cover pretzels.

This is my favorite. It's so good. Okay, well. Is it in grocery stores or online? Well, so in Canada, we're across Canada. Here, we're going to be doing it online through Amazon. So we'll be launching our regular chocolates in the United States in about four months, and the cannabis will be available in dispensaries across New York State.
