Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum. I said, I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grave.

It's that time to put on your jersey and wave your flag, whoever you root for. Why do I watch the walk up?

That's like asking me, why do I breed? And it's beautiful. The guys are young and cute and fat. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots.

And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority of black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Just hilarious, running a little late. Shalameen the God. Peace to the planet, it is Monday. Hey, how y'all feel out there? I feel blessed black and highly favored, but happy to be here. Another day to serve our beautiful listeners.

Good morning. Good morning. Go, New York. Go, New York. Go. What are weekend? Drop with a cruise bomb for the New York Knicks, man. Jesus, Nixon, five.

I didn't see it in five. I thought it was going to be Nixon six, but they got the job done. They got the job done. Again, come back from the fourth quarter. I mean, they were down, what, 16 at one point, came back to win. And, I mean, like, everybody's been saying, I'm not going to lie, this finals feels a lot different

than any finals in the last five, six, seven years. It just feels different. Nah, but even everywhere, like, I'm in Chicago right now. I salute everybody in Chicago. I was down here for the Legends Festival. It was me, Buster the Locks, Fabulous, and Two Chains. Oh, that sounds like, Aunt Con. Yeah, DJ, envy, DJ, drama.

It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. Ended early. Everybody came on time. They had over 17,000 people. But I guess because of the weather in New York, all the flights were canceled. So I was in the airport from 7 p.m. to one in the morning. And they just canceled it at 1 in the morning.

So I had to stay here and broadcast with Chicago Station. So salute to the shop. But everybody that I ran into, all the bars were watching the Knicks. Everybody seemed like wanted the Knicks to win. They just felt the energy and felt bad for us because they said, y'all haven't won in 53 years. It's a great American story that's easy to root for, right? Like you got a story team that hasn't won in 53 years,

but man, there's no way you can watch, you know, Jalen Brunson and not root for Jailen Brunson. Yes. Like Jailen Brunson is the type of player that you look at, the type of athlete that you look at, and you think to yourself, you know what, if I work hard. Yes. I might be as good as Jailen Brunson.

Probably not, but you feel that way. Like, even with somebody like Steph, Steph is small, but he got a God-gifted shooting ability. Correct. But with Jailen, you feel like if you just, work hard, you can probably be Jalen Brunton. You can't be LeBron. He's got physical attributes that's just out of this world. You can't be a

you shouldn't want to be a Wimby because he's a I almost say bum. I don't want to say bum. You can't say bum. You can't call him a bum. I think I feel like he's my newest person that hate on, okay? But he's 7 foot 5 is what I'm saying. But with Jaylen Brunson, he's somebody that you can look at and say, if I work hard, I can possibly

be like him. Yeah, I can put the work in it and be like him and grind it out. It seems like with him he grinds it out. He never let's, he never stops. He goes into all the things that he's been shooting. His 500 shots, he's been shooting a day. His dribbling up and down the court. You could tell he put the work in.

And I'm going to say this. To me, he's the greatest Nick ever. He's the one, to me. Maybe not to a lot of people, but to me, he is the greatest Nick ever to me. It's a good debate at this point. It's very, it's very debatable. It's a great debate. Now, people are saying he's the best in the league.

I don't know about that. But as far. At this current moment. At this current moment, yes. He's the champion. Yes, he is a champion. NBA finals MVP. Like, I mean, 45 and a close-out game.

At the moment, yes, he is. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. But, boy, what a game, man. I mean, we're going to be talking about it all morning long. Salute to all the Knicks fans. We deserve this. That's the other thing, too, though.

It's like, you know, every game felt like watching a Rocky movie. Yes. Because, you know, they down by however many points, and then they just come back and always win in the fourth quarter. It was incredible to watch. Incredible series. But you don't get nervous anymore. When they were down in the third quarter,

It wasn't like I was like, I got to leave. I'm like, nah. But you stop lying. I swear. Because you stop. You know we're all in the group chat, right? You know, you know we get the text from you that say, I feel like I'm having a heart attack. Oh, my God.

Why are they doing this to me? I say that every game because the Knicks is going to be Nix. They've been doing that for the last. I don't even know how long I've been a Knicks fan. Last 40 years plus. Like, they do that to me. But you don't turn the game off because you know the Knicks always had that shot to come back. You never know.

You know what game it is. You're right. All right. Well, let's start the show. Norie will be joining us. Norrie and DJ EFN. They'll be joining us. Drink champs.

Celebrating 10 years. That's right. So we're going to be talking to N-O-R-E. And let's get the show cracking. You got an Empire state of mind. They said that's the number one most downloaded song on Apple iTunes. Really? Yeah, really?

All right. Pull that up then. You got it up, Red? I give Red a second to go up. Red. Play the last two seconds of the game and then go into that, please, if you can. Play the last two seconds of the game. I just want Peter.

The rebound. It's over. It's over. Over. Nick fans, this is not a dream. Your long, long wait has ended. Go ahead and cry after 53 years. The Knicks are finally NBA champions once again. The Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV, Jess O'Larry, Sholomaine, the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. I didn't know who just was when she walked in. I saw her in my peripheral. All I could think of was, Big Wheels, keep on turning. Hey, yeah. I'm burning.

Keep on. And that's okay, I just watch what I've got to do with the over the weekend in Detroit. Oh, my God. I like your head, though. Thank you. Well, let's get right.

Next. That's it. I like, I like your head. All right, thank you. I was, that's why I kept going. I was like, you never know what's next. You never know what's next. Well, the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs.

They won 94-90, and we were just talking about it. Just did you watch the game? I couldn't. I was on stage, but my fans, they let me know. As soon as they won. As soon as I was, as I was, as I was. one I was answering the question doing Just With the Mess Live

and the niggins was in the back like, yeah, because he won a palet. I guess he won. He betted on him and he was excited. I was like, oh my God, the next one. Envi will be so happy. Everybody started clapping. You know, he loved you in Detroit, yo. All right, I love Detroit. What's up, Mimi.

Did you watch the game, Mimi? I sure did. What you think? I loved it. Y'all got me watching it. I feel like I'm going to be left out the conversation if I don't watch it. See? And then in some FIFA News, USAB Paraguay.

I think that's how you say Paraguay. I'm not sure. But they won 4-1. my son is a soccer fan. He was super duper excited. What else are talking about, Mimi? Okay. Well, we're going to start this morning at the White House. Did you guys see the UFC fight? I did not get to see it.

On purpose, had no interest. Yeah, I didn't watch it even. Well, that's why I'm here. So last night on the White House lawn, the USC fight took place. It was part of America's 250th anniversary, along with the celebration of the 80th birthday of President Trump. So before the first fight, President Trump, he appeared on the Truman balcony alongside UFC President Dana White, overlooking the crowd below. He then made his way to the White House grounds toward the octagon.

Its music and trumpets played. The national anthem followed. Fire Jets flew overhead. It was a whole thing. I think I have some of the sound from it. Let's listen. Here is the President of the United States of America. Donald J. Trump.

Yes. What was this spectacle for again for his birthday? For his birthday? For America 250. I was going to think. I thought it was America's birthday. I mean, like, you know. The anniversary, 250 years.

Let me, let me do ask. I do have one question. I know they kick somebody out. And my thing was, how do you kick somebody out that wasn't invited? Like, how do he get in there? That's what I was wondering. Because it's supposed to be really high security, right? I saw that, too.

He was a, he's a fighter who somehow broke ranks with Trump and has been giving Trump a hard time. I saw him get pulled out the crowd. But more than 4,000 invitees, invited guests. They attended, including Vice President, Jay, Lady Vance, met a CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and a name that's surprising many people this morning, Terrence Crawford. Trump was seated alongside, seated cage side in the front row for the fight, tens of thousands of people they gathered for that. And let's listen to a fan who attended the event, what he thought. Huge UFC fans. I don't think politics has a lot to do with this.

I think I like to put things aside and just sometimes look at the history that's going on right now. So you have all these people gathered together on the lawn, trying to have a good time. I'm trying to put politics aside. And if you ask any of these fighters, what's the greatest thing that's happened in their life? They would most likely say competing on the White House law. Well, you know, when it comes to putting politics aside, I don't know how far that goes, because there's another moment from the night that's getting a lot of attention this morning. It came after one of the night's heavyweight fights.

Following his win, Josh Holtic, he used his post-interview fight to make a false and derogatory comment about former First Lady Michelle Obama. Now the remark is quickly spreading online and drawing very, very strong reaction. Let's listen. Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right? Wow. A lot of that misinformation comes from a Q-A-N-on, right?

Am I making that up? I've been seeing that, I've been seeing them spread that rumor for a long time. They used to call Michelle Obama Mike online. It's been going on for a long time. And then the other thing that people are pointing out the cost, is $60 million, planning, you know, security involved with at least $7. federal agencies. Now the White House And they lied us. They said it wasn't taxed

dollars, but it was. The White House said UFC paid for the event itself. However, taxpayers are covering the extensive security operations. So we are definitely paying for the security. So yeah, it's hard to put politics aside when politics are the reason you're getting your ass kicked financially

and then you look at this spectacle and see that your taxpayer dollars paid for it. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. And I want to really quickly mention that it was an eventful birthday. and for the president beyond the fights. On Sunday, Trump announced that the United States and Iran have reached an agreement to end months of fighting to reopen the Strait of Hermutes. A formal signing is expected Friday in Switzerland, and after that, a 60-day period of negotiations is expected to focus on sanctions, Iran's nuclear program and other details.

Now, this deal, it could have a big impact on us here at home. We know the Strait of Hermose handles roughly 20% of the world's oil supplies. But we'll be watching to see whether gas prices, they do come down if this agreement does move forward. But of course, questions remain. The White House has not released any additional details. It's still unclear when the straight would reopen fully and the terms of the agreement would actually take effect. You know what's sad?

You see that story? And some people say, well, I can't believe it until I hear what Iran says. But then I'm like, nope, I can't believe it until I hear what Israel says. Yes, because Israel has not said they're in on this. So, you know, we shall see. You know what I mean? All right. Well, coming up at 7, Florida School Board of Fisher's,

The show has a message for investigators, yep, looking for missing money. They're telling them to follow the money, but it's the way he delivered it that has the internet talking. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800585-105-1. Get on them phone lines right now. Let's know how your weekend was. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Michael Carter. What's up? Michael, what are you calling from?

I'm a call from New Jersey. Just go from New Jersey. Go New York. Go, New York. Hey. So I'm going to tell you, I'll be honest. I really, I didn't watch the entire series. It was very hard for me to watch.

Why? As a former boy boy, because that feeling, I know what that feeling was like just to be on that court and watch those guys. I miss it. It was like home. being away from home, and I just missed it. And I knew those guys were going to win it. I just had that feeling.

They had a great chemistry. They had a great team. Everything was just aligned perfectly for them to win. And I just couldn't watch, man. It was just, it's just something that you just, it's hard to explain, just being with that team and knowing with that type of environment. It's like it. Oh, you are a ball boy for the Knicks?

Yeah, so I was with the Knicks from 2000 to 2003. I was with the New Jersey Devils from 95 to 1998. I witnessed them, went in the Stanley Cup, and I was on the poster. And then my first job was with the New Jersey Nets from 1990 to 98. So what did you do for the New Jersey Devils? Because there's no puck boy.

You don't want to get the puck. What did y'all do? What did you do? I was a stick boy. So I was the first time. Yeah. So basically my job with the Devils was, I had to put all the water bottles on each of the,

the benches, and then I had to put the water bottle on the goalie neck. And, you know, I almost quit. I almost quit working for the devils because the racist comments I was getting from employees. And it was like, Dad, that told me to stay. What did they used to say to you? And so I stayed and, huh? What did they used to say to you? They called you a stick.

Dang. No, one of the sick boys was, he was a cop in Newark, and he told me that he arrest people like me. for living and now he has to work with me. Damn. And, you know, at that time I was like, I was 7th, I think I was 17, 18, and I just didn't know,

I was always encountering that in high school and then to have that encounter in sports world to just, it shook me up and I just couldn't take it. But my dad told me stay in it and it was going to win. So I stayed and I got to witness. Well, I'm glad you overcame, my brother. That's right. So, you know,

I just want to thank you out for this opportunity. Envy, you know, I used to work up there with the radio station. Damn, you work. That's weird. How many jobs you guys? You sound like Lauren. You a stick boy in the radio station?

No, I worked over at, when it was Kiss FM, I was the talent book. So I've had an interesting journey and career, and I just want to say what Rick and Jalenbuss has done, I think all fathers need to look at that, even though sometimes as fathers we overcome challenges and we might fail in certain areas, we teach that to our children

so that we want them to be better and I commend Rick for that man I watch his journey and it's just incredible what he did Oh Rick did a phenomenal job Thank you brother Yes he did man He just made me remember something right Because the Knicks had such a magical

Captain Trayvon Martin, Commander George Floyd, Dr. Brianna Taylor, Sergeant Ammar Aubrey, all these people died in real life.

All right. All right. So, uh, the Knicks over the weekend, y'all, they brought it on. In a day. Nixon five. Nixon five. Yes. I'm dropping the cruise bonds for the New York Knicks.

You said that. Yes. Yes, I did. They won the first championship in 53 years. Now, the game five that went down in San Antonio, they won 94 to 90. Jalen Brunson was awarded finals MVP, 45 points in the game. Well deserved. There's a lot of love going around for all the Knicks right now,

but a lot of people are having a conversation about the pay cut that Jalen Brunson took, the $113 million pay cut. Let's take a listen to the audio of Jalen. $113 million-ish is what you left on the table. table that you could have signed with the New York Knicks. It's $113 million worth it knowing it's for a championship. 100% worth it. 100% worth it.

Even if you're getting to achieve this, I feel like being able to do that and grind and go on a journey to try and achieve it would have been worth it as well, but this is definitely the chairman of top. Hey, you take that pay cut, build the right team around you. They were able to get cat and OG because of that. Yeah. Yes. And it was announced.

yesterday that they will of course get the key to the city. Miram Dani was talking to complex about that. Let's take a listen. Is Jalen Bunsen going to be getting a key to the city? The team is going to be presented keys to the city on Thursday. We're the first keys to the city that I've ever given out in our administration. And this team, they epitomize so much of we love about the city. They're relentlessness, the drive, the hustle.

And you look at them and their individual journeys, so many of them were overlooked. So many of them were counted out. and they're here. And Mike Brown built a team where every single player had a role, not just in last night's game, but frankly, throughout the series, throughout the season.

And it's just a, it's a beautiful thing to witness. Jaylen Brown, think about it. I mean, Jaylen Brunston, I was going to say, wait,

I think Jaylen was picked 33rd in the draft. Second round, yeah. In the second round, which is crazy. And like he said, yeah, all those players,

most of those players on that team were overlooked, and they came together. They grounded it out. And I heard somebody say it yesterday, that New York Mix should get whatever they want and for the rest of the summer. They want food. They want clothes.

Whatever they want, whatever restaurant, this would be on New York. Jailen Brunson will never have to pay for nothing in New York City for the rest of his life. Oh, that's amazing. Ever. That's right. Jailen Brunson can walk probably through any borough and not get robbed or anything.

That's right. With mad jewelry on cash hanging out of his pocket, nothing. Why don't go bother Jailen Brunson for the rest of his life? And y'all know what else he did yesterday? What? He stuck up for Monica McNutt against the Swifties. Let's take a listen.

I just want to say something to the Swifties. she's a really good one cut her some slack it's all good I promise I don't even think people were still mad about that but that was nice for him to do

A little joking He was raised say something crazy She's a good one What was she this weekend All the attention She tried to garner Maybe

Maybe she was I don't know I have no idea She was in San Antonio She was doing the game Yeah she was in San Antonio She was doing the game She was at the game

She was at the game She was at the game She didn't show her at all San Antonio With none of that No, I didn't see her. I didn't even see her. They didn't show her at all.

No, she was at the game. Well, speaking of people that were at the game, Jordan Woods, of course, you know, she was there with her lucky bag. I thought of her. Yes, and she posted like a really nice post about the team in Carl Anthony Towns, who is her fiancé, and just how amazing it is to see them grow throughout the sport. But as Cat was headed to the back, you know, they take the portraits after with the big trophies. He was looking for that bag. Let's take a listen to Kat and Jordan. We got the bag.

Hey, Papa, we got the bag. The bag made it. Bag's undefeated, man. I want everyone in New York to know. That bag won a championship. And also during when she posted, I guess, behind the scenes footage of, you know, him coming back from practicing games and the massage team. And she's helping to massage him. She's picking out his clothes of what he was wearing.

Uh-huh. Even some of the food that he was picking. Like, you could tell she is the GM of his life, which I thought was up. Yes. And Taylor Swift was not at Game 5 of NBA. She was in? I thought you made Monica McNutt. I thought you said where it was Monica.

No, Monica was there. Monica was at the game. There's a video of Monica McNutt as they were announcing. How the hell you confused Monica McNutt with Taylor? I was not talking about Taylor Swift, nor did I have Taylor Swift in my mind. She was talking about Jalen Brunton standing up for Monica Minut. That's why I said was Monica. Against the game.

But yeah, we thought she was talking about Taylor. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Now she had white woman. That's game. He was like, Taylor, come to the game.

You see what you were saying? Last week, she was doing. I didn't say Taylor come to the game. I said if she wants to come to the game, I'm cool with it because we weren't with her there. I was not looking for it. That's exactly what I said. Everybody from Game 4 to come back to Game 5. Yes, I said same seats.

Well, now I wasn't looking for. Fat Joe was also at the game and he was having a conversation about the food or lack there of. Let's take a listen. But let me tell you something about San Antonio what they don't have. Glyzies. Oh, boy. They got you talking about that. They don't got like hot dogs, man.

I'm going all around. You can't be eating glizzies out here, Faso. That gets you in trouble, bro. They force me to eat tacos, man. I'm telling you, extra hot sauce. It's crazy out here. We love you, Latino, San Antonio. Thank you for being so nice, us.

We're taking this thing home. And let me tell you something. I'm on a plane with a bunch of white people, but we're about to turn that into the soul playing. Congratulations. That thing going down. Isn't Joe Latino? Yes.

I think he did. I was right. I'm like, you've been doing tacos, no. He shouted out of the Latinos, like, he's not one of them. Thank you, Latinos. Puerto Ricans don't do tacos. That's more of a Mexican thing. Like, even in New York, we didn't do tacos unless it was Taco Bell.

There's more taco restaurants and Mexican restaurants now, but... Taco Bell. No, he didn't grow up there. Yeah. He didn't grow up there. Well, it's going to be a celebratory week here in New York. I don't know if I'm going to go to the parade. But Thursday, I know there's going to be a lot going on.

We don't got work Friday. So I'm going somewhere to do something, okay? People were outside until like 5, 6 o'clock in the morning after the game. over the weekend. They should have been. A beautiful, warm Saturday nights. Almost summer in New York City. Why not?

Logan's dumb ass was down there. He watched the game out there, and he just said the energy was, like, unmatched. Everybody felt together. There was no black versus white. It was no old versus young. Everybody was just really orange and blue, and everybody was just celebrating together.

There's an audio Cardi B that's going viral because she was watching a game in and she started getting ready to go out once the Knicks start winning. Let's take a listen. is calling me! The street is calling me! Yeah. Yeah, so that's going viral now

and everybody, as they're getting ready to head out and celebrate all the next stuff, they're using this sound to kind of like... She just calling me. She ended up at an after party with Travis Scott, Cuevo. I saw French Montana there. Like, people were... It was outside. She had a cheeks out.

Oh, yeah, she did. She had, like, some prince jeans on. She did. You don't let Charles Buckley see them. I was about to say, he'd be courteadies. He'd be hype. Yes, but yeah, congratulations to the Nix. Thursday will be the parade.

I know they're going to be, what is it on Fallon? They're going to Fallon tonight. They're going to Fallon tonight. Yeah, Valvin tonight. Nix and Wu-Tang. Yep, so there'll be more to come. That's the latest for the hour. All right.

And also, I know the Nix. I know some of them do lists and Kat, Alvarado, Brunson. Y'all in town, pull up. O.G. pull up. We'd love to talk to you. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Front page news is next. Morning, everybody. It's D.J.N. Jenselarie. Sholomey, the guy. young Miami. Let's get in some front page news. Unless you're living under Iraq, you know Saturday night the New York Knicks defeated the Spurs

9490 to win the chip in over, what, 50 years? 53 years to get exact. Yeah, so salute and congratulations to the New York Knicks. And you just played the final three, four seconds, please, right? Okay, maybe not. Ananovi, the rebound. It's over. It's over. Mick fans, this is not a dream. Your long, long wait has ended.

go ahead and cry after 53 years. The Knicks are finally NBA champions once again. I'll tell you one thing. God knew what he was doing by letting the Knicks lose game three. Because if the Knicks were the one game three and one game four, the way that they won game four, they would have burnt down two burrows at least. At least two burrows would be gone right now.

And that doesn't celebrate. That is wild. But I will say this, it feels so good to see. And I know people say, well, it's not that. But the NBA finals just felt different this year. There was so many people watching it outside of New York and San Antonio, so many fans. It was such a story. So I would say they brought that excitement back to me to the finals, to the NBA.

Because a lot of times it's been like, okay, it's cool to watch. But this year, I think so many people were dialed in, every restaurant, every bar, every club. Everybody was going to dial in the city of your team. But I do feel like, you know, this was a great finals this year. But it definitely feels like that when it's your team and you in the sixth. Exactly. And I traveled when I was in Detroit, I feel like everybody is happy for y'all. You know, they're Pistons fans, obviously,

but people were happy for New York that they won. So I was like, okay. Even when I seen two chains, I seen two chains over the weekend. He came right up to me and was like, I want to hate, but I just can't even. I ain't get the chip in 53 years. Congratulations. That's what everybody was saying.

So again, what's up, Mimi? What's up, Mb, Shalamein? Jess, how y'all doing this morning? Hey, we're. Hey, y'all. Okay, so we start this hour in Florida, where a school board meeting took an unexpected turn when a district official, he used a popular song

to make a point about allegations of financial misconduct. So Broward County School Board Director, Delvin King, he addressed claims that employees were pocketing cash collected from a school gymnasium. He borrowed a few lines from Young Miami to drive

home his argument, creating one of the more memorable moments of the meeting. Let's listen. Where all my scamming school board employees at? Spinning that money fast. 20s, 50s, hundreds, cash.

Rachel Daly going that go-in-that-go-yard bag. Boosting employees where y'all at. Stuffing those facilities in y'all bags. Spinish. Spin-ash. Spin-ish. Political spoken word is trash. No, stop.

I like that window. I like that window. I like that. That was a lot of reason. That was funny. right? He was dead serious too. He was dead serious.

So he was arguing that investigator should follow the money trail noting that many payments are made digitally and can be tracked through electronic records. He was saying that people are using Zales

basically as kickbacks once they book something. Did he give that context? He just went up there and did that little verse. He gave a little context and then, you know, went into...

He said if young Miami had to say it, this is probably how she would let you guys know. That's funny. It's creative. It made people pay attention. It did. It did.

about it. And then moving on, have you guys heard of Miss Rachel? Of course. Hello. Oh, I'm shocked. Okay. So we got kids. Yes, we do. That's true. That's true. That's true. Okay. So Ms. Rachel, she's the popular, if you don't know, YouTube, known for her educational videos, her sing-alongs, they are on YouTube, Netflix. Well, now she's taking on a new role as advocates. So over the past several months, she's been speaking out on behalf of children caught in humanitarian crisis, immigration crisis. She traveled to Capitol Hill with letters and drawings from children who are being held in immigration centers with their family.

So she's using her platform to raise awareness about children who are detained by immigration authorities. This is what she had to say. I'm kind of in shock about what I'm hearing, and I don't think people really know what's going on inside of Dilley. It's heartbreaking talking to the kids and their families. They're talking about water that they can't even drink that makes them sick. There's been worms and the food. The food's rotten sometimes. And what really frightens me is the dangerously and adequate medical care and medical emergencies.

These are basic human rights for children. And we can all agree not to harm and abuse children. You know, I love Miss Rachel. I love. I just hate when I even see any type of hate toward her online from rappers and people. Like, you know what I mean? Because she actually feels that all children deserve. access to tools to help them learn.

No matter what their living situation is like. I love her. Yeah, I remember when a lot of pro-Israel groups got mad at her because she stood up with the kids in Gaza. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. And she's definitely using her platform. So, you know, we were talking about Delaney Hall here in New Jersey and so she visited

Yeah, she was just sitting down in the park, like singing to the children, teaching them. Exactly. Bringing toys, supplies and, you know, all that. So now she traveled to Capitol Hill where she's, you know, just trying to get out the message that, regardless of politics, children should not be the ones paying the price. I love that.

We love that for her. And her story is really dope, right? Because in 2019, she noticed that her child had like a speech delay. And so she was trying to find, like, high quality, visual learning resources. And she couldn't find her. So she started doing it. That's how she ended up going viral and teaching. Even my daughter.

Yeah. She'll be teaching her by kids. And speaking of teaching kids, we know Gracie's Corner, right? Yes. So today. Big Announcement. Yes. The hit TV show, a children's show, is joining.

Disney Jr. and Disney Plus, so that is really big for... Drop a clues bomb, Ray. What's you're doing? Where was it happened before? Just on YouTube. Just on YouTube. So Gracie's parents, you know, they've been doing a bunch of press, but like, they're actually moving. They picked up our show and they're moving to Disney. I think that's so dope.

Yeah, it's so huge. Because everybody kids love Gracie. Gracie's going up. Yes, me. You're having a little bit sharp way. I know. I know, I know Gracie Cohen. I just didn't, I never thought about where it was.

I guess it is just on you. Oh, yeah. It started just on YouTube. But now it's moving to Disney. Disney. It's going to be a really big thing. My kids watch my little woman. I was going to watch it all the time.

No, no. I was saying God, I wouldn't finish talking. But yeah, congratulations to them. Yeah, that's really, that's really. What they created is definitely amazing. And they're from Houston, so salute to H-T-10. Yes, exactly. All right, y'all.

Well, we're going to end it there. We're going to talk about tomorrow, though. You know how President Trump came to the next final and caused a bunch of chaos. Oh, yeah. He might be doing that again with the FIFA World Cup, with the final game. So, I heard he might be coming this week.

I ain't going to tell people to get rid. But that's a little different though, but we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Yeah, that'll be a little different because it's more fans. It's 82,000. It's easy to get in and get out. And they've hosted things like that before. But we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Thank you, Mimi. All right, well, that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. Thanks, Mimi. Thank you. Now, when we come back, Norrie and DJEFN from Drink Champs will be joining us. Joining us as their 10-year anniversary.

And we'll talk to them next. Don't go anywhere. There's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Shalameen the guy. We are the breakfast club.

Lawlerosa is here as well. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. N-O-R-E. He's back, ladies and gentlemen. DJ E.F.N. He's here. What's the richardt.

Celebrating 10 years, man. Time flies when you're not doing a bit. Congratulations on that. Congratulations. 500 plus episodes. 500 plus episodes. 500 plus episodes. We got a special episode on June 18th.

We drop in. We've got a revolt, big up to revolt. We've had a wonderful relationship. And I'm just, I'm happy, man. Like, you know what I mean? Like, a lot of people don't get to do what I did. Like, you know, you know. Go back to the beginning, Norie.

Go back to the initial idea, concept of launching a podcast 10 years ago. Nowadays, rappers do it. It seems like nothing. Ten years ago, it was like, what you're doing a what? I feel like I owe y'all money. Because initially I was just saying this to EFN. Damn, I was aggressive, my bad.

You got to go back to the time of Crazy Raw Radio. Yeah, we had about... We were on serious XM before the murder. And then God bless, you know, prodigy, rest in peace, prodigy wrote a book. And I rebuttaled coming here. We remember. Yes, I rebuttal coming here.

And then I swear to God, I was in Canada. I was just walking through and a person came up to me and was like, breakfast club and I was like, wait a minute.

Like, I was like, I either owe them money or they owe me money. Like it's just, like, and that people kept calling me breakfast club and I was just like,

holy moly guacamole. Like, like maybe I got something here. So I did not. He was, he was trying to get me to do a podcast for like, he didn't know what a podcast.

Yeah, I was like, what was a podcast? It wasn't a thing in music in hip-hop. Yeah, I was like, I'm not a nerd.

So, um, for us to be 10 years later And like, you know what I mean? Like, I had a second career or a third career. You know what I mean? If you're counting reggaeton. And it's just like, you know, 10 years, 500 episodes, you know what I'm saying?

And now you got so many people who birthed through us. Like, you know, I don't want us to call them sons or something like that. But, you know, there's a lot of people who took our formula in a good way. And they now, now they have now when I look, it's nothing but podcast. But when I first said, when we first said we were doing a podcast, people were looking at it. They were like, man, some must be wrong. with Norrie. Like, why is he not?

He's not making music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I understand that. But now I'm looking at all of y'all. Like, something might make more job. You know what I've seen you? I think it was in Queens of Brooklyn the other day. I think he was on stage performing.

Do you ever get the edge to go back to this, be like, nah, I'm going to hit the stage, do a couple of tours, do some new albums. All right. That's a great question. Yeah, the other day, Monster Energy, I had to see the Monsters. Shut up. Monster, Monster called me and performed in Brooklyn.

Everybody was there to see me. That's it. Wow. And I was finally like, yo, you know what? I'm gonna come back outside. I was finally because, you know, again, like, you know,

you'd be doing records, though? Like, I think you had a hit some years ago with that Farrell joint. Yeah, he has to start making music. Yeah, I got, I'm actually going to drop. I got a record with me, Vibs, Cartel, and Todd Dollar Signs. Oh, wow. I got a record with Dr. Dre.

I got a record with me and Capone first time getting back in the studios. with Dr. Ray B. So I've been holding that, but I think a lot. I have been scared. And that show in Brooklyn, really, like, because, again, when you're doing shows and there's other people that's on that bill, they're not primarily there for you.

They're permitting you, you know? But I had looked, and I looked in the crowd, and I'm sorry because, you know, I make a lot of gangsta music, or I made gangsta music, but I see the girls. I seen females like singing along and I was like, I missed this.

I was like, yo, I was like, yo, I missed this. And the police and then I got on stage and I said, yo, I'm getting off stage and I'm gonna walk through the crowd. And the police from the mayor's office came to me and was like, you cannot do that. I don't know who you think you are, sir, but you can't walk through the, and so we,

I went in the car and I'm just, The whole ride home, I was just like, yo, I needed to feel this love. Sometimes you don't know you have the love until you see it. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I think I'm coming back outside. That's dope. But hold him to it because he always says this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And hesitate that. No, no, no. He's been strong. He's strong for long time. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. If you came out in the 90s and you okay,

um, it's, we are scared because this is a different era. Like, let's just be clear. Like, if it wasn't for that 4-4-4 album, like, this is, this is like a different era. Like, I don't know how to cater to these youth, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I mean? Luz and Nas too with his series. Yes, yes. What he's doing with Massap Hill?

Yeah, but hit boy. Yeah, but I ain't going to lie. I was just sitting down and somebody was talking to me and I just kept it real. He was like, so why happened you dropped music? And I was just like, I'm scared. And he's honest. I wanted to be honest with my son. because it's like just think about it if you get a certain quota right you get a

certain amount of money that that you get for every show you get if you drop a a dud album or you drop something that doesn't work that quote goes down right so like if you look at fab you look at me you look at I'm not saying Fab is scared to drop music because I'm saying B but I'm just putting Fad in my category but we have a certain amount we we get certain like FAB tours all all the time. So the thing about it is when you got people like us we are, I believe, I don't want to put

anybody else in that category, but yeah, if you, if you can't relate to this generation, but then like I said, like, what, what? How are they going to receive? Yeah, how? Like, how? But you don't necessarily have to relate to the new generation. I learned to that now. When I'm on the road and I'm doing shows,

I'm not doing the new generation. I'm doing people 30 plus, 40 plus, 50 plus, that just want to party, they just want to have a good time, they just want to feel, just want to come outside. Don't forget about us, Norrie. Yes.

We got to have that show in Brooklyn, I looked, and like I said, I looked in everyone's mouth, and everyone knew my words. And these records are 25 years. Like, and they still, home boy.

They still, what, what? Oh, me, Kondo. And I'm sitting back, and I'm like, you know what, this is my problem. My problem was I was going to try to cater to the wife. Why ends? No. Why?

Like, I don't know why. I've been done to why for a little longer. But when I seen that, sometimes you just got to see it. And when I saw that, I was like, holy moly, guacamole. This is where I belong. Stick to your, stick to your crowd. And, you know, they grew up with me. Like, they grew up with me.

Like, you know what I mean? Like, I was used to having shows and people fighting. If you ain't fight at my show, I thought my show was whack. Like, bang again. But I'm looking at the crowd now. I'm like, oh, man, everybody needs is. bad. Right, right.

They grew with me, and I should grow with them. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I would love to do it with Nas. You know, me and Nas is very cool. The legend's run that he's doing. The last time I seek Nas, he was like, I'm not inviting you to another party if you don't wear suit. And I was like,

damn. I was like, I got to grow up. I'm thinking I'm a Y-N, too. Like, so, yeah, but it's great, man. It's great to grow with your audience and to realize that. So, I finally I have finally

You're embracing that Yeah and I'm embracing that You know what I'm saying So yeah So I think I'm gonna come outside I think y'all do a good job Of the people who people want to hear from To a certain extent

Y'all try to bring them on to have conversations But it don't always go to best Kodak black Let me just tell you something He is a real one Like when I tell you He showed up early

And stayed the latest And I'm looking like Because you know you know he's about that life he's outside like he he he's a good one but I see him like a lot and he does a lot for the hood

that I see that I hear about yeah he does a lot he's actually thank you for bringing that up because that he is considered a new generation and I feel like he's very very necessary and again Kodak has the best story I've ever like

like um we went to out to eat and Kodak brought his own food to the to the spot Oh, wow. And, like, I just, I can't get over that. Like, patient food. He was like, this is my mama food. She cooked better than this.

I was like, all right, cool. But, like, yeah, so that's a person I relate to. Do you feel like, because I know people were on y'all because they felt like y'all should edit it some of that interviews? Yes. And then did you see all the interviews that he did after that? Yeah. Yeah.

So, we didn't edit, period. That was our thing for the world. That was our thing. And then Kanye told us a very valuable lesson. I saw you say Diddy was the one that called you to tell you to edit that kind of. Oh, yes. Yes. I mean, that's ironic now.

And you know what he said? You know what he said? He said, not my part. Because, you know, yay, this Diddy. And he was like, you can leave this part. But don't, he's like, yo, you sure you want this part? What part with that? It was the Jewish part.

Like when he, like, and I was like, oh. Because I didn't know what, I didn't know at the time. And the George Floyd part too, right? George Floyd part. Listen, I regret leaving the Jewish part and I regret leaving the George Floyd part because one, I'm black, man. I saw that.

I saw that video. Like, I was hurt like everyone else. And like, to this day, like, like, I'm like still have like a little bit of smoke because of that because it's like, yo. But I said, I'm sorry. So as a man, when you say you sorry, like, like I felt like I should have been forgiven.

Like, and this one person in this world, that I don't think he forgives me. You know what? I came to the realization. I'm going to respect it. Like, I'm going to stay in my zone. You could apologize. You know, he doesn't have to accept it, but for you. He did accept it.

That's the part that's kind of messed up. Who are we talking about? And we talk about it. Yeah, you know who we told me. Y'all need to squash that. You know, I don't know what? I'm embarrassed by this. Like, I mean, I'm too grown.

Like, when I, when I seen the back and forth that I did on my behalf, I'm, I'm embarrassing. And you know, we got... You just did it again recently. You just said something. Uh-huh. I'm just talking about that. I'm talking about that because, you know, I let the internet gas me.

I did. The internet came to me and was like, why he ain't had that same smoke for that white man that he had for you? And it's the truth. So it was just like, I was like, all right, cool. And I did let the internet gas me. But I super regret. I'm a, I know better, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, so if it's, if it's... if it still smoke, that's up to you, man. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, because I did say I'm sorry and, and I am sorry. I'm not taking this back. So I thought that, like, he must have had this phone call on tape. So I'm thinking that's what it was, but it probably isn't. And maybe he forgot.

Maybe, you know, he smokes a lot. He says, he says, I drink a lot. He smokes a lot. Maybe he doesn't remember that I actually said, I'm sorry. But no, he said you said it through text. No, no, that's not the truth. I got on the phone. I got on the phone.

I got on the phone with you. I got on the phone with you. I was on the phone with everybody because this is how I felt. I'm not taking back how I feel. I was sorry. Like if I'm sorry, like when envy said I try to charge him,

I always say I'm sorry to you. I always feel like your envy. I never took back my apology. I always played an envy of my bad. I was probably filling myself at this time. Like, and it's on you to forgive me. I do want to see you and Stephen work that.

I do. I do. You're both for good brothers. I know. Great in this media space. Y'all got mutual friends like Fad Joe. Like, there's no reason for y'all. We're both on black effect.

Like, there's no reason. And you know what? I'm going to be the bigger person. Like, I don't want to, I don't know if this is called an olive branch or whatever. But what I'm saying is I said sorry. If you didn't remember that I said sorry. And if you thought I said it through texting, you might be smoking. Because I one million percent wanted him to hear my voice.

I remember you even telling me like, yo, you didn't say that. That was, yeah, who said that. But I was, I still felt obligated to, to go because I'm black. Like I think this will happen. This was wrong. And for me letting that on my platform, and that has changed how I moved forward. Let me ask you a question,

what interview do you think changed the trajectory of drink change? It made you realize like, oh, this is bigger than big than I thought. The first DMX episode. Yeah. You get that right on the nose. That was that. Like, we were already out the gate. First episode of Fat Joe, we were doing numbers.

We knew it was a success. But it was that DMX one that just took us over the top. And it was just so raw. I feel like I always said we could make a documentary of the making of that episode because we filmed it in a hotel lobby and DMC definitely didn't know what a podcast was and our computers broke down

and we had to reset them and it took an hour to get set up again. It was just a crazy episode. X is the greatest episode. Put it like this. Put it like this. So I go to CX and X is smoking cigarettes at the time. I'm smoking cigarettes just 10 years ago so I smoked a cigarette with him and he gets a phone call

and I'm there to ask him for an interview so he gets a phone call and it's from his cousin. And they're like, yo, this is your cousin dogs? He's like, all, cool. And he goes, um, uh, Power 99 want to do an interview with you. He goes, I don't do interviews. And he hangs up.

And I'm like, what the hell am I saying? Like, what a, how? I'm here for this. So I said, so I made sure not to word it as an interview. I was like, yo, I got a podcast. And he was like, a podcast? We're like, jail? I was like, no.

I was like, no. He's like, all. Cool. I was like, but it's just going to be us talking. So we went upstairs. I don't know if you remember that part. Remember we set up upstairs? And we set up in his room and X didn't want to go upstairs.

So we got to take the whole thing down and we got to bring him back downstairs. So we literally did the show in the middle of the lobby. On a pool table. On a pool table in the hotel. And X is still like X. So he's so hot at the time. The people don't even want to tell us, you can't smoke. Like he's smoking cigarettes, he's drinking.

Yeah, we didn't ask for permission. We had in a hotel lobby. We didn't ask for permission. We turned down the lobby music they had on. Yeah, yeah. And they actually comply. So I don't want to pick up that hotel because they might have got fired. But that was from that moment of, well, Joe, Joe knew.

And when I say Joe, I'm talking about Fat Joe, because there's a lot of other Joe's out there. But when Fat Joe sat down with us, he was like, yo, you guys are crazy. You guys are doing something different. but you guys got something, right? And then we held the Kenny Anderson interview and then we got DMX and once DMX we, I believe, we went through the roof and then everyone on them

and ironically, our first guest, Fat Joe, second guest, DMX, third guest, Jada Kiss. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Just think about how ironic that lines up now. And big up to Joe and Jada, people just, I don't know why, people think, The guests that we've had the most on, the Joe and Jay is the guest that we had the most on.

So big them up. I am so proud of what they're doing. I am happy. I think they even got a Hove interview. And if they don't got it, I'm throwing it in the air. You know what I mean? You go ahead. You do a spoiler alert?

We've seen Fadjoa said he got the biggest artist ever. Now, spoiler alert? I hope so. I hope so. Listen. I hope so. Because Hove is outside. But y'all coming out in how, quote, unquote,

tough rap used to be, right? I see it with Fad Joe. I see it with you. I see with Kiss. I see with Jim, when people play with y'all, does that make you feel like I wish I can go back to that area to get somebody up? Because the way I hear them talking about for y'all,

I said, Joe can't handle it. The way I hear them talking about Joe? No, Joe can't handle me and Joe had a combo in L.A. Joe was really upset. Because they play with Joe a lot. And I'm like, if this would have been, same thing with Norris, same thing with Jim. With Joe, let me just say you why.

The one thing about it is he pays attention to his haters. He does. Like, a lot of times I can't. Yeah. Because I just like, all, cool. Why? Why? I'm going to pay attention to Jeffrey.

But then it's like what I said earlier. It's like, yo, we got to grow up, man. Like, like, I don't want to act like we're extinct from that. Because I do sometimes. I do engage. Like, you know, someone called me the N-word, right? It was like, oh, I don't, don't call me. Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, damn, I just said, I said, I said it. I said, I said, but I'm involving. Like, so, like, when I sit around and we're in the elevator and somebody calls me the N-word, I'm just looking, I'm like, you don't call me that no more. Like, I don't want to be, I don't want to be,

I don't want to be, I'm going to run eating. You know what I mean? Because from afar, from a distance, no one knows which one of us is ignorant. I feel like there's always room for growth, man. Like, there's always, like, you know what I mean? like look at this like yo envy I've rammed in envy's mom's basement

I don't give envy and I don't give clue enough props they they were literally they were literally the two people that was holding queens down like literally like like hold on hold on shut the fuck

who's who amy and a shit I'm talking to you know me shut the fuck up shut the fuck up right continue what you used to say they said they used to hold all the queens No, no. I get what you say.

See, that's what we used to say. But let me tell you something, y'all. Let me tell you something. At one point, being on a clue tape was better than being on the radio. Absolutely. 100%.

One million percent. So, like, clue, envy. They used to come and get me. It used to be like, Yonori, and I used to, I used to rhyme. And this helped my career. Like I didn't want to be on unsigned hype. I mean, I got to be on unsigned hype.

But this was, I'm got, I do big you up. It's just I don't want to big you up in your face. That's better, right? You talk behind the back versus back good. Why do you think if he does get lost in those conversations? Because he's winning now. He's still, come on, bro. Like, y'all on Netflix, bro.

Like, this is, this is, this, congratsy. I'm not talking about a shot for y'all now. So from a lot, boy, the Netflix live, baby, you mean? out that . Come on, baby. Go, Envy. Don't you think Envy need to talk more about that era?

Yes. I understand him too. I understand him too because he's a Virgo and he's going to go too far. No, but no, he's keeping it like just, what I always tell envy is I feel like that era, there were so many artists that will say what you just said.

Major artists, right? But he doesn't talk about it a lot. And I think that it should be talked about. And we're celebrating so much history and like the founding things love hip-hop and I think that envy should be in a certain conversation you know what I hear envy say more I said envy big up clue more but that I hear that I'm always here you give respect to clothes and I love that I love that but his oh geez here's my time giving respect to you have your old

tape masters I got yeah I got a bunch of your tapes but you know what too it was it was a time where money didn't matter even when you were standing at the bus stop sucking on the lollip You said Clu pulled up in a nice car. You said Clu pulled up in a nice car and that made you be like, oh, shoot, what you do for a living? I'm going to say this one last time. I knew Ernesto, me and Ernesto used to ride bikes and play basketball. Nesto used to live across the street from me. One day, I was waiting at the bus stop.

Not something on the ride in. It was cold. It was snow on the ground. It was a nice car. Clue pulled up in a three series BMW. And back then, you were rich if you had that. I asked him how he got it. No, he asked him if he could he drive sticks?

No, he was like, I can't learn. I asked my friend Ernesto how he got it. He said, yo, come to my house after school. I thought he was selling drugs. I went to his house after school. His mom left here. I went downstairs and I seen records and all types of tape players and this than he ever. I asked what he did.

He said he was a DJ. I asked his name. He said, Clue. Back then, nobody knew what clue was. Nobody knew his face. And from there, I was like, so you make money by doing something that you love music?

He said, yes. So you didn't know Ernesto was cool the whole time? No, I had no idea. Because he never told anybody because he always had beat, right. Number one time, he had the question mark.

So I had no idea. And then after that, I was like, this is what I want to do. And he said, I will get these turntables and go ahead. And that's what GGM. Ernesto. He had him,

he had him put his hand on the turntable. He had him. Let me share out of a week to him. No, but I don't like us. This guy's crazy. I do want to give you a flower. I appreciate it. I love that.

Like, if it wasn't for you and Klu, I got further along. Because one, I, Klu became like the big guy. Pause. And then Envy was the streets. Like, for lack of a better term, like, he was the street streets. Like, so if he was on an envy tape, it really meant something. Like, it really meant.

And I was on all of them, I think, for one point, like, yeah. Why don't tell that story? Why we don't make an audio documentary or a documentary about that whole era? Maybe it should start with Clue. Maybe we should do a doc on two. Nah, I think both of y'all should be about both. Flew and everything. The Desert Story is his own.

I feel like as big as New York was for the mixtape scene, I feel like that story don't get told enough. Like, I feel like the dramas and everybody, all that. And we're all inspired. by what happened in New York. We wanted to do that. Drama is me.

There's guys on the West Coast. But it all started here in New York. And it's because Clue don't tell the story. Because in order to clue tell a story, and that's telling the NVie story. Everybody's story is intertwined to me with Clue. But I also feel the main reason I feel, no disrespect to New York rappers,

but New York rappers don't fuck each other. So like if you look at drama, drama still f***s with the people that he helped. He's still f***ing with the future. He still f***s with all those individuals. But I can't, If I call to get Hove on the phone I got to call through this person

to this person to get this person Right and then everybody don't really live in New York nor do they frequent so Even with Norrie of course I can get Norrie on the phone But getting everybody else is just too difficult New York. Wait, were you saying with a documentary? Well documentary or even conversation Nah, no no not let me let you downplay yourself

No, I can't let you through it You can make this happen if you was the call For Hove right now for that documentary I can almost guarantee you you're going to get that Even the Empire strikes back The only reason I did it with Dame and Jay was because Clue didn't want to do it. Because Clue was like,

I can't let y'all go a kiss because I play kissing them on the radio. I didn't have no relationship with kissing them back then. All I had my relationship was I used to go to Rockefeller every day and beg for records. Bobby Dash, G. Lenny Yes. And they knew my face and it was like, let Envy do it. And that's how that came about.

And Beanie Siegel could go at Kiss because I didn't have no relationship because I didn't have no relationship because, but Clue was like that. But that's how my relationship with Ovinham came. And even when I did my album, I was like, I cannot do it out. I cannot finish this album without a whole record. Right.

And he flew in, did it, paid him $30,000, consecutive bills in the Nike shoe box, and that's a whole. Yeah, yeah, let me just say something. That era is golden. It's golden. It's golden.

And especially, I love the fact that it's the mixtape that we're focusing on because people don't even understand a mixtape was actually a mixed tape. A tape at one point. And, yeah, no, you deserve your flowers. Congratulations, guys. Man, thank you.

And there was no exaggeration. Like I'm not, I'm not glazing y'all, but like, no exaggeration. If I kept not coming up here, I wouldn't know that I had a future in media. I didn't know what to do, but I knew that it was something and this, and this, this, this, this is primarily, like, for me visiting here. And look, we 10 years later, we are celebrating. 10 years. The fact that we celebrate in 10 anniversary, I'm big up to, congratulations, man. Make sure you all subscribe to the Drink Chance Podcast.

Talk. Sydney. So Tyra Banks has filed a lawsuit. You guys remember that. documentary, the America's Next Top Model, documentary that we talked about, reality check inside America's Next Top Model. She was part of it, right?

Was she a part of it? Yeah, she was, I mean... Yeah, it was based on her and a lot of the conversations that people have been having post-America's Next Top Model about certain things they believe shouldn't have happened and the decisions that she made while the show was on air. And how it made her look? Yes, and how it made her look.

So Tyra filed a defamation lawsuit. She says that she sat down against Netflix. Yes. Oh, my God. She says that she sat day. for a three and a half hour interview with the team that put that docus series together and they only used about 16 minutes of her interview.

So she's saying that they were selectively editing. She says that they were deliberately omitting things and she alleges that they surgically manipulated a lot of the footage including when there was a scene at the end of episode one where Tyra Banks alleges that, or it's made it look like she doesn't remember that there was a woman, Shandy, who was sexually assaulted on her. show allegedly, right? Now, for those of you guys who don't remember Shandy's story,

let's take a listen to what Shandy says when Mr. Jace, they went down while Shandy was on America's Next Top Model. Let's take a listen. On day one, when they would show up, we would go over the rules with them. There's going to be cameras with you 24-7, day in and day out. I know the girls, they were doing their evening hanging with the guys, and then we got word. Shandy's having sex in the shower with a guy. And the rule on top model was, if you went into a bathroom alone, a camera could not follow you in. But of course, when she went into the shower, she was technically not alone.

So the cameras went in and they captured it. It was just a sound guy, and the guy filming, afterwards, I'm just laying on the floor in a fetal position just crying, and they just, like, get up to leave, and they both came out to me, and they said, we're really, really sorry that we had to film that. Yeah. After that, they took her to the doctor.

Now, could they have sent her to the doctor in privacy? But it's reality, so, Now we're going to cover it. Poor girl. After I, like, talk to Eric again on the phone. They actually filmed me talking to the guy and asking him myself, did you wear any protection? Do you have any STDs?

Like, I felt like, why can you just ask them yourself? Why do you have to film this? Like, you already got me on the phone of Eric calling me a f***ing. Now, Tyra is saying when she sat down for that three and a half hour interview and she was asked about Shandy and Shandy's story. There's two claims. So first, Tyra says she was never told that the. the word sexual assault was used to describe Shandy's experience on America's Next Top Model at any point during her interview.

So anything she would have responded to, she's alleging that she was misled because she didn't even know that was used, right? So back in the day, they didn't say it was a sexual assault. I feel like back then, from what I can remember, and just you can let me know, but from what I can remember what I've seen, there has been conversations about it post, but at the time, no, it was made to seem like it was just this. She was drunk and she was having fun. Yeah. And the messed up part of it, the most messed up part of it was her calling her boyfriend and, and people haven't have, yeah, in the conversations that were thrown her way because she called her boyfriend, right? But she's saying in this interview that they never told her that, but then she's also alleging at the end when they ask her about Shandy.

And she got a lot of pushback for this. Let's take a listen to Tyra when they asked her about Shandy. A more difficult territory is Shandy. Shandy. Okay. You remember the story with Shandy? So it cuts off there, and then it goes into music and the episode is over. She's saying that that part, which makes it seem like she didn't remember,

Shandy's story. There was a whole conversation that they had where she's like, I do remember her story, but they didn't use that because she's a legend that Netflix wanted to create this like narrative around her and Shandy in that experience. You're telling me on the documentary, when they asked her of that question, she didn't, that

was the end, that was the answer? That's what goes off, but then another one comes on, right? Yeah, but even when it comes on, she's not taking accountability. She's not saying she remember what happened. She's basically saying like, Shandy was there. Yes, kind of. She couldn't remember anything whatsoever.

There's not much to it. Like this part right here is what she specifically points out in the lawsuit because this is the part that people grabbed because after that it's like they move. They begin to move on to a whole other story. I think when people do interviews, I thought when whoever does the interview, a lot of times they own that content.

You sign off on that content. There's times when we'll see interview when anybody does an interview. You'll see clips. You'll see people pull different pieces of it that make people sound a little crazy. Once you sign off on it, I thought you just sign off on your...

But I think for her, she's saying if this is a docuseries and it was pitched to her and it was promoted as like people getting the facts she doesn't like the way it was and to your point that can happen but she's saying that it creates a like a lie or a false narrative when you're cutting off conversations that she had

I didn't read the umpard I read that she said she replied to what was happening but they didn't tell her that it was referred to as a sexual assault it's both so yeah so she didn't she never knew that it was referred to as a sexual assault but then she's also saying that in part

right there, they asked her about Shandy's story again, nothing about sexual assault but just Shandy on the show and when they cut it off they make it seem like she couldn't even remember Shandy's experience on the show. And that was completely false. That if they had shown the conversation in full, she would have remembered Shandy

on the season and would have taken a lot of accountability, but a lot of accountability was erased. I'm really surprised. I'm really surprised her being so big and her being so big of the show that she didn't sign off and say, I can't sign this off until I seen the full product done. You would think Tyra Banks

would do that. What is Draft King saying Tyra? Netflix going to do? They're going to settle? They're going to settle. I think so. I mean, they've got to be like facing these type of cases all the time, right? I mean, it's documentaries all the time that people are not happy with, you know. Well, I reached out to Netflix. I haven't heard anything back, but Tyra's team... You're on Netflix right now. Ask them.

Period. Hey, Netflix, I email, y'all. I don't know if y'all you have any... But in this lawsuit, Tyra says that she's not filing this lawsuit because she's trying to escape accountability. that was the point in her participating. So I think where her not having control, she thought that it was going to let people know like, hey, I'm here to be honest

because that's the biggest thing that they're pointing out is like she finally wanted to give everybody the answers to all the questions. And then that interview was cut down so bad that that didn't happen. So yes. Shoot. I salute to Charlemagne

Thickams over there. You were the reason why, I'm going to tell you, you were the reason why no matter what I sign off, if I'm filming for anything, I asked to see the finished product before I sign off on it. And you were the reason why. I'm not going to get deep into it,

but you did something, you didn't sign off on it, and you made them pull it out, and it just stuck with me for a long time pause. That's right. It made me think that any time that I, I wait to, because they try to come in beforehand.

Can you sign off on this? No, let me see how this is going to go first before I sign off on anything. And that was the reason why. Wow. Oh, go ahead, John. I really love it. This is a power moment.

Well, brother to brother. I said, thank you, Dickens. He's never going to say you welcome. He doesn't care. He doesn't take a compliment. Nothing. He doesn't even, He didn't even want you say that.

He'll text you about it later. I don't even know. You're welcome, I guess. I don't know. If I say thickums to you, you say, all right. Thank you, handsome. Thank you. Thank you, cutie, saying something like that.

He don't know how to respond. People are saying nice things about her. That's what it is. He just don't. I swear. I'd be like, yo, thank you so much. Like, yo, you respond me to write a book. And, like, I'm telling my stories.

I mean, it's just, it's not mine. I mean, it's just, you're welcome, Jessica, Robin Moore, Oliver. Well, after the hour. We have Donkey today. and Josh Holkitt needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him, please. All right.

We'll get to that next. So don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. It's time for donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here in this street. I'll have made a donkey today. Called donkey of the day.

It really caught me off guard. We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we made a fan. We never would say anything. Salamay, give it to him. Give it to him. You are a donkey. That is why Charlemagne is it? Some donkey today is just.

suck. On the breakfast club. Okay, Shalomay, we'll be giving donkey of the day to today. Well, donkey today for Monday, June 15th, goes the USC fighter, Josh Hokit. Okay, oh, the mayonnaise is heavy with this one, ladies and gentlemen. Now, last night, UFC Freedom 250 was held on the White House lawn. A $60 million spectacle paid for by the UFC. Our tax dollars went to at least seven federal agencies who were providing standard security and emergency support. Sounds like a waste of our tax dollars to me, but what do I do?

though. Now, Josh Holkitt won his bout at the UFC Freedom 250 event and then as he was being interviewed by Joe Rogan after his match, he decided to say this. Hey, shout at the Trump for having the to put some shit like this on. And if I'm going to say anything, Moschelle Obama is a man. Am I right? The Obama's haven't been in the White House since 2016. Okay. But what they represent the possibilities they represent for black people in this country scared of hell out of insecure white men like Josh Holkid. Okay.

It bothers them and terrifies them to think the descendants of the enslaved, okay? The descendants of the oppressed can rise to the levels that the Obama did in this country. All right. Josh Holkitt, you got the right last name, sir, because this is indeed the starter kit for being a ho. All right. By the way, this isn't the first time we've heard this foolishness. All through Obama's presidency, Michelle Obama being a man was right up there with the burferism conspiracy. It used to be on message boards and in the deep, dark crevices of the web.

They used to call the former first lady Big Mike. And I remember when Joan Rivers made those comments about Michelle Obama on CNN of all places. This was like 2000. I don't even remember. 13 maybe? Let's listen. And do you think that the country will see the first, the United States will see the first gay president or the first woman president? We already have it with Obama.

So let's just calm down. Got it. You know Michelle is a trap. I'm sorry, she's a what? A transgender. We all know. Oh, my gosh. That wasn't CNN, actually.

But if you couldn't hear, she said that Barack was gay and that Michelle was trans. So after that, people like Alex Jones amplified that conspiracy theory. And then they had that old Christmas picture of Michelle and Barack that they altered to make Michelle look like a man. It doesn't even make sense to fact check foolishness like this. This is just a baseless conspiracy theory that has been circulating on the Internet. ever and it's been debunked over and over and over again and this is one of those times i'm grateful that the first lady has her own platform okay her own podcast because now michel you got content okay if you choose all right i don't think we've ever heard her address how those rumors made her feel

and by the way if she chooses not to address it i'm cool with that too because the reality is the truth don't need no defense only witnesses okay i just find it strange that josh holkid just want to fight. You did what you came to do. You had a chance to thank your family. Okay. You could have thanked Satan because I'm sure that's who you worship. You could have promoted your next fight. You could have saluted your sponsors. You could have told your mama you love her. Instead, you used your moment to shout out Trump and sland a former first lady Michelle Obama. And I don't know why you MAGA lovers do that because all you do when you bring the Obama's up is remind people of what is currently missing from the White House. Okay. See the Obama's set a standard

for decency and class and poise and intelligence in the White House. Okay. That no longer exists now. All right. You didn't have to agree with the Obama's politically to recognize that they were a masterclass in dignity. All right. Truly grace under fire.

Now that bar is in hell. Okay. Satan and his demons use that bar to limbo. They got that bar down there and they cha-cha sliding to it. You hear me? How low can they go? Can they go down low all the way to the floor? How low can it?

they go. Can they bring it to the top? No, they can't. Okay, the bottom is their ceiling. And people like Josh Holkitt remind us of that every chance they get. See, this event was supposed to be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Okay, the Declaration of Independence asserts that all people are created equal and possess unalienable rights, okay, including life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This was a reminder that Josh Holkitt and people like Josh Holkitt don't look at black people as equal. Okay. It's really that simple.

This was his way of marginalizing the first lady and trying to remind us all, they don't see us as equals. And life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is for them, not us. Okay. This country has been trying to dehumanize black people forever. Every few years, somebody comes and dust off the same tired playbook and introduces it to a new generation. But my brothers and sisters, don't let ignorance dehumanize us.

Okay, since some of us came to this country, they have been trying to question our humanity, our intelligence, our beauty, and I guess now, even our gender. But don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever allow somebody else's foolishness, okay, to make you internalize their lives, okay? Never let anybody else's foolishness make you internalize their lives, okay? Never let anybody else's prejudice become your self-image, all right? Black people have survived way too much to let conspiracy theories and stereotypes define us. Okay, their dehumanization is their sickness, not our identity.

Please let Chelsea Handler give Josh Holkitt the biggest he-ha. He-ha, he-ha! That is way too much Dan Meney's. Can Kathy Griffin give him the biggest he-ha-to? Please give this giant jar of male the biggest he-ha. I know Chris Rock is busy celebrating the Knicks win, but has he got anything to say? Cracker ass, cracker. Oh, what about my girl that worked the drive-thru? She still worked there? Oh, okay.

Okay. Okay. Anybody else? That's my squad. That's it. That's it. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today.

They was just telling you what they like with they chilly. That's all. Okay. All right. Now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585105.1. We got to talk the Knicks this morning. It's been 53 years in the Knicks won a chip.

And it just feels different. Just feels different. 800-585-105-1. I feel like this, what? I got to say, Paul. a knick in your ass. That's what it sounded like, that sounds like you had a nick in your ass just feels different. It just feels. It just feels. Fifty-three years. Like, dang, it sounds like you're virgining it. You ain't had a nicking 53 years? That's a little chari-pot. 8-5-105-1.

How does this make you feel? And not just New Yorkers, New Yorkers calling too, but also around the country because people weren't Nick's fans because they just felt the love. It made people fall back in love with basketball and made them watch the finals again. People that weren't necessarily into basketball like we were talking to Mimi and Mimi said she had a phone-mo like you know they're missing out so she had to watch it and it's New York transplants everywhere that's right be clear that's true that's right

so let's open up the phone lines let's discuss 800585105-1 it's the breakfast club good morning morning it's calling my folks it's topic time call 800 500 5851051051 to join

into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody is DJ NVV just is Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Good morning. And if you're just waking up, you know the New York Knicks one on Saturday. So we're opening up the phone lines. How does it feel? After 53 years, besides just being a Knicks fan, I just feel like all sports fan and I feel like the world got together to support the Knicks, which has been crazy because I've been in different cities in the last couple of weeks and just the amount of support and love that I've seen for the New York

Knicks. A lot of it is a lot of people feel bad. Like I ran into two chains the other day yesterday and he was just like, yo, I want to hate on y'all, but the fact that you can't get a chip in 53 years, I kind of want to see y'all win it. I don't love it. I was thinking about it this weekend, right, when you think about like a working class city like New York, especially in the NBA finals,

you know, over the last few years, several years, a lot of the people that you see win championships, the stars of the team aren't even from this country. Correct. So when you have Jalen Brunson and, you know, a lot of people that are from America, you know, win for a city like New York. York that hasn't won in 53 years, it does just hit different.

Yeah, not only that. Jalen is, you know, he was born in Jersey, he was raised in Chicago, Kat is from Jersey, Alvarado is from Brooklyn, there's just so many pieces from New York, so it means a lot because they grew up, you know, being fans in the Knicks, you know. And the East has been notorious underdogs to the West. And, you know, when they went into the series, I think the odds were two to one, which I did not understand. Because, you know, if you've been watching the playoffs, you can look and see. that the Knicks was more than formidable opponents

and, you know, pretty much everybody in his room picked the Knicks to win. Yes. So I don't know what the other, the Vegas was seeing that they had two to one odds. I wish I had to bet early on, boy, because, I mean, people would hate it. Even when I was, oh, damn, you didn't even bet,

that's crazy. And you was very, very, I'm not really a gambler. And you knew, but you knew, you kept saying, Nixon 5, y'all, you kept saying, so you could have put some money on it, but I get it. But no, when I was out in Detroit, it was a lot of older guys that was during my meet and greet coming up, like,

They kept saying that the Spurs were just young. They got potential, but they just kept saying like, they're young. They're too young. The Knicks grown men. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I ain't know that though. I was like, okay, but they were very, very happy.

You know, that's, you don't listen to me. I said that. Before the sentence. No, you said, when beyond it, you was like, they was crowning him too fast. I ain't never hear you say the whole team too young. That's their whole team. Going up against a bunch of grown men. Everybody kept saying that.

Before we take calls, before we take calls, I just got a quick question, Shal. What you think they're going to do with the Spurs coach? Nothing. He'll be back. He's young too You think so The reason I say that is He blew like three, four leads

I mean he blew a lead of what 29 Blue a lead of 14, 16 I think that If he was more of a veteran coach I think maybe things Would have been different Maybe

I don't know I think when you blow a nick It's fine I think that he'll be back Oh my God Look at his face Uh-uh Uh-uh

Don't you like blowing a Nick Envy? Let's go to the phone lines man A coach can really lose That job And they're not going to get ready Yeah A coach can

Yeah He's a rookie coach though This is his first He's a rookie coach. That whole squad is young. They're going to be fine. Hello, who's this? Good morning.

This is Sunshine from the Bronx. Sunshine. What you do for the Knicks? What's your do for the Knicks? Hey, yo. Let me take you some, Salomein. First of all, Charlemagne, okay, Friday, when you were talking about game six,

I was with Evie. We waited 53 years. Every minute after that is inschitiating. You talk about game six. Nobody wants to come back and play another game six. That's why we're closing it out as soon as we can. Number two, the Wamba Wambi kid, Victor,

if you notice all the season, Wambiwambi, all season long, he's been playing dirty, hurting, pushing, pulling, elbowing, getting in people's hair, he thought. And what happened? The rest didn't do nothing to him. So it took the Knicks to show him

what he was to be penalized and win the championship. And the reason they won game for was because the champs were hustling to win the championship. Yeah, that's why. They cry on Wimby too early. Like, he's not dominant. He don't take, I didn't see him take over now one game in the finals.

Like, in the fourth quarter, you got to be able to, you know, dominate on one side of the floor. If you can't do it on office, you've got to be able to do it on defense. He didn't do it on neither. No, he definitely didn't. And like she said, you know, people going back, it seems like he is a little dirty when he comes to certain things. Certain things can't be explained. But he did see him a little dirty. Yeah.

Then he big. How you act like you don't see what he was doing? He's too damn big. He's stupid. Hello, who's this? This Adele. Good morning. How y'all doing?

Good morning. Adele. You said Adele? Yeah. Oh, yeah, you'd be calling. Shout out to you, Adel. Yeah, Adele called all the time. He's from Merlin.

What's up, Adel? What's up, Adel? What's honor to get on? I appreciate it. I sound out to the next. I was kind of torn because I'm happy for them and spent 53 years. But how did the spurs lose? After that game four, I was getting to think it was rigged,

but then when it came back and winning in game five, It was a wrap. So congrats to them. My only question is how the Spurs beat OKC. Because OKC was hurt, unless he had a couple of places. They were hurt. I also want to ask you another question. Why do people say stupid stuff like these games are rigged?

Like, people will say things like, no, they paid for that championship. So why you wait 53 years to pay for one then? No, but now, those Cowboys, they didn't pay for a Super Bowl yet. But not only that. There were three history making events in that game five. It was the largest deficit, the largest come. back, which never happened. And the Spurs off all three home games, which is unprecedented.

But I'm not going to say Spray. It was a great comeback. The Spurs are very young. I said that at the beginning of the series, man. They're just young, going up against a bunch of grown, experienced men. And we act like Jalen Brunton don't know how to win. This guy has won at every single level. Yes.

You know what I'm saying? He's a winner. But not only that, what makes me upset was if you watch those games and you're a real fan of sports and you watch the game. you would see that the reps didn't give the Knicks any calls. No. They gave the Spurs the majority of the calls, and we still came back with us against the refs,

us against the Spurs and won. So when people say, oh, it was written, they did this dead. No, F yourself. They won that fair and square. Wimby should have been charged with a flagrant when he put his foot in Jalen Brunson's landing space. That would have had them suspended for game six,

and they didn't call that. And I don't know how they missed that, because Wimby Legg is long, long, long, long. That's what I'm saying. How do you act like they don't see stuff like? that. He's the tallest one on the... He's like an octopus. This is his biggest have. Yeah, I started to say long like giraffe vagina

lips, but I ain't ever seen giraffe vagina. Exactly. Why would you even go there? You could have said giraffe neck. I mean, hello. Yeah, that's true. I should have just said neck. Oh my God. Yeah, no, it's high as giraffe coochie, but you, I've never seen giraffe coochie. Yo, and I ain't here the word coochie. In so long, yo, oh my God, coochy. And you got one. I know, but

like, coocee. I'm sorry. If you're just joining us, we're talking to New York Knicks, all. After 53 years, we got a chip, damn it. Nixon 5, it feels good. That's right, Ebby. You got Nick in your ass. You shut up, man.

Envy did the Ford and Nick challenge. Lord. What you do for the Nick, Envy? Oh, my goodness. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Good morning, good morning. What's sir?

What up, Doug? Good morning, what up, though. What's the word favorite? Like, Shalomameen God. Bless Black and Holly Favit. You know it, you know it, you know it. But I just wanted to speak on this New York Knit situation, man. I love, I love the win for y'all.

It looked good for your city. But y'all celebrated with so much, it was just classes, classless, man. Y'all could have been way better than that, man. Yeah, I thought that was foul. But we not talk about the negative stuff, man. Why y'all think it was classless, though? We burned buses.

It's like, why? Destroy cars. Your city. beat up Spurs fans, it was classless. It was like a whole little riot out there, man. Y'all should have celebrated a little bit better than that, man. I just want to have both sides. No, no, no, no.

It was bad. I've seen some of them Spurs fans. I've seen kids that were going on them screaming platforms, and they were putting them jerseys on, and they was going out there causing problems. I've seen several videos. Oh, you think it was some trolls. You thought it was some, you think there was some trolls.

I don't think, I know. But what about the New Yorkers who was burning the, The bus is, man. Yeah, that was crazy. Their own city. What if the bus didn't believe? No, shut up, man. Let's go to another phone.

Thank you, bro. God's crazy. I mean, NYPD was probably happy that they wanted to, and then they get beat up? NYPD got beat up? Yes. The agent got, yeah, one cop got injured, yeah. But I think 60, over 60 people got arrested. I think like four or five people got stabbed.

It's wild. By the way, that's a regular weekend in New York, too. Now, let's not blame that on the next way. But you're so happy that you're like, I got to stab somebody. Like, no, that's wild. Next weekend, let's do this same report. And I bet you it's probably the same, if not more.

They actually said violence went down because Knicks run the playoffs. That's what they actually said. But I guess not the last couple of days. Hello, who's this? What up? What's up? What's Devin'clock?

What's up, Devin? What's up, Y'all? What's up, y'all? I love y'all, all y'all. Love you, too. Congratulations for the Knicks, too. That was a good series. That was great series.

It was, man. Great series. Man, I love you. I've been calling for five years. I've been listening to y'all since I was like 18. I'm 31 now. God. Damn, we've been around two mother freaking long.

And salute to Milwaukee. Milwaukee, if you don't know, was the first city to actually syndicate us. Yes, V100.3 in Milwaukee. That's what's that? Not real. You got to bring the car show to Milwaukee. We've been waiting for that. We love cars.

There's a couple of cities. I got them in Chicago's been asking. I know the Carolina's been asking. I know Milwaukee's. He's been asking, I'm trying, brother. I'm trying. Nah, make it happen, please. All right, brother, thank you.

Sorry, V-100.7 in Milwaukee. It is crazy that the Spurs led that series 70% of the time. You all understand that? No. Like, they had a lead in five games. They led for 70% of the time, including the 29-point comeback. That's right. God damn.

Yeah, so again, salute to the New York Knicks. Salute to Jalen Brunson. You are the face of New York. you are the best Nick ever to me. You did something that I didn't think I was ever going to see. I was kind of like Charlemagne with the Cowboys. Like next year, next year, next year. But now, like I said, we finally pulled it off.

So congratulations to Cat of Rodo O.G., Bridges, Hart, Robinson, you know, Deuce. Everybody, man, we appreciate you guys. It's still a debate, though. It's going to be a debate between Jail and Brunston. And Patrick Bue? No, Willis Reed. Willis Reed.

You know what I mean? Willis Reed. He's got two championships, seven-time All-Star, five-time All-N-B-A. You know, he was an MVP, I think twice. I'm not mistaken. Like, it's going to be a conversation between Jailen Brunson and Willis Reed. But it's definitely a debate. I agree with you.

All right. Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious.

Salomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest. Lauren becoming a straight fan. Tell us. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

So I know today is Ice Cube's birthday, but we also want to take some time. We'll be clubbing. To congratulate him. They announced over the weekend that he's to be taking a big three league public. So the basketball league co-founded by Ice Cube is eyeing a $290 million valuation as it plans to go public later this year.

So Ice Cube gave a quote to Bloomberg and he says, you can't participate in the upside of the team besides winning. He says, and we need the fans for the league to be successful. So it's a match made in heaven. The league announced actually on Friday that they reached this deal to be a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company and offer fans a chance to buy stock in the league. Well, you're up on a clue bombs for Ice Cube. Yes, major accomplishment.

Big good business. Yes, yes. Now, there's also some reporting on the Michael Jackson biopic, and we've been following the biopic and how well it was doing in the box office since it released. But now, as of mid-June, the Michael Jackson biopic has officially become the highest grossing music biopic of all time. So, surpassing the $911.9 million set by Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm going to see. I'm gonna go watch it again too.

I really enjoyed it. My kids loved it. It's on TV now. Yeah, I heard it was streaming now. You can get it on screaming. Oh, really? I've been seeing the advertising for it all weekend because every time I'm going to TV, my kids be like, they go Michael Jackson.

Like, actually, that's not Michael. That's not my son, his nephew, but who am I to be a dream killer? That's right. Who cares about accuracy? Oh, gosh. All right. Biopic, sorry. That I said, Rachel desexing said.

Biopic. Because I say biopic all the time. It's biopic. Yeah, biopic. I say homo side, so don't worry about it. You say a lot of strange things. Homicide. Oh my God, homicide.

He is such a clown, yo. No, but he really says it. Like, you can't get it out of his mouth. Go ahead. Keep going. Yeah, so we also wanted to take some time to send him. Congratulations to the baby. He did the Be More Grateful Festival down in the Carolinas. Can you not do that right now?

Drop for the goose bones for the baby. Yeah, so Boosy, Webby, Trick Daddy, Trina, money bag, bag, yo, Wakaflaka, Big Exa Plug, Y Kniece, Pluto, Belligin, Chington, Trap Dickie, 50 cent Asa Rocky I think Walo and Gilly hosted it

yeah congratulations to the baby on that festival and now as we wrap the hour so DMX DMX was we talked about this a bit while we were preparing for this if you guys are watching us on Netflix but for those of you guys on the radio DMX was

there was another street named after DMX over the weekend so I wanted to send a congratulations to him there as well and I know Jesuits mentioned something about he should have been had a street named after him I'm wondering why it's just happening but I'm seeing about congratulations that he has it done but I just thought DMX would have been

had. So when I Googled it, I'm actually seeing that there were back in May of May 30th Yonkers renamed Street after him as well too. So maybe this is like a second one that has happened but I know I saw his family out there for that so I wanted to say congratulations

to DMX as well too. Drop one of Clubeon X well deserves it. Isn't this nice? It's an hour of celebration celebrating all the things. I'm shocked that you could even do it. I'm just waiting for you to say something shady about somebody. First of all, what's the hook? Don't you do it.

I'm not doing no hook. I'm not. Don't you do it. I am doing very now. I made a little last time. Let me see a little last hour. I made a very responsible decision to not do any shady things in the last hour. Don't talk about it.

Don't talk about it. Period. Biopic. She got a bio pick. She got a few in here too, boy. She does. But she made a decision not to give a few in here. All right.

What I'm saying, such as such as a hole. Such is a hole. Damn. That is the latest For the hour day. We're wrapping up kind of early down. When it's negative, we go for a long time. I know.

It's a little shirt over here. Yeah, that's the latest for the hour ago. Yes, absolutely. My man, Faith Evans got a street in Newark as well. Yes. And she also, thank you, Jess. Her team actually sent me that. And she also, she did something amazing with her.

She has a foundation that she does for autism. Yeah. Because her child is on the spectrum as well, too. when she does a lot of education around that. Yes, she has a foundation. So she had a block party to celebrate the foundation, a lot of the education they've been putting into the community that went down this last Saturday,

and then a street dedication happened within that. So congratulations to Faith Evans as well. She also does a gala every year for the foundation that she does supporting our son and other kids with autism. What are these streets names before they rename them after people? Probably something dumb. That's why they're running streets. Like 40-3 streets.

Okay, okay. Yeah, but also, you know, it's still 43rd Street. but they put the DMX probably over it. So when they rename the street, they put both for them up there. And salute to DMX. I tell everybody the story. The first big check that I got was from DMX when I produced a couple of records.

And at the time, we were making, I think, $5,000, $6,000 a beat. And DMX was like, no, you worth more than that. And they gave us, I think, like, $25,000, $30,000 a beat. So I was always grateful for DMX for that. He took me on my first movie set. So salute to, rest and peace to DMX. And salute to Mo, because that's when Moe was doing all his business.

So salute to Moe. Yes, and the name of Faith Evans organization, I just want to make sure we shout it out because they love and need the support. It's called Riders Room, Inc. And she posts a lot about it all the time and the things that they're doing. So go support her organization. All right. Now, when we come back, we got the People's Choice Mix. Today is Ice Cube's birthday.

Between FIFA, the games, the Yankees, the parade. There's a lot of stuff going on. So get in, get out. And don't wear your Spurs jersey for at least
