Starting point is 00:04:41 So you curse him out there then. Yes, absolutely. And he said good. You wouldn't be just if he talked about me on the mic. So you wouldn't be just if you didn't if you didn't cuss me out. What was the question you had for? I had a few questions. What was the questions?

Starting point is 00:05:47 All right. Well, let's get the show crack. We got front page news next and get it off your chest. 8005-85-101. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. And it's Warren G's born-day. So let's talk to show off with a little bit of regulator, man. No, it's not one-Degh.
Starting point is 00:05:59 It's Nate Dogg. Wow, that's what you get. Rest of peace, Nate Dog. Yeah, happy birthday, Nate Dog. Thanks. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, NV, Jess, Alaria.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Sholomey, Nga. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front-page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Jolomey.
Starting point is 00:06:17 How y'allamine? Good, Mimi. Good morning. So we start this morning with Disney taking the Trump administration to court. They're accusing the government of trying to punish ABC over what it puts on television. So Disney, they filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the FCC. That's the government agency that regulates broadcast television. And the FCC is investigating the view, Disney's DEI practices, and the licensing of eight ABC local stations owned by Disney.
Starting point is 00:06:47 And Disney says the reason is political that the president doesn't like ABC. coverage and programming, and his administration is using the FCC to pressure the network. Now, Disney points to Jimmy Kimmel after Trump publicly called for ABC to fire Kimmel, but ABC stood beside him. Now, the FCC, they have ordered eight stations to start the early release, or excuse me, early license renewal process. The FCC, it says that this is not retaliation. It says that the review is tied to an investigation into whether it's DEI, practices involve illegal discrimination. But not everyone at the FCC is on board with what the agency is doing. So there's Anna Gomez. She was appointed by President Biden and she is speaking out about this.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Let's listen. No one believes that this is about Disney's diversity equity and inclusion policies. Clearly this is just a pretext to go after Disney because this administration does not like the content it's seeing on Disney. And Disney has refused to bow to the intimidation and to the I'm very heartened to see Disney stand up for its First Amendment rights and its editorial decisions and filing to challenge the actions that this FCC has taken. Listen, Anna Gomez is absolutely correct, and I hope Disney wins because they are standing up for all of our First Amendment rights. And this is what I meant yesterday. What I said, you know, Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC is someone who is truly deserving of the NABJ's Thumbs Down Award. Because when you have someone weaponizing a government agency against networks because they don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:20 agree with programming that criticizes the president. That is what you call authoritarianism and are a dictatorship. So to me personally, the outrage I see, you know, for individuals like Stephen A. Smith should be toward actual threats like Brendan Carr and the FCC. And I know folks love to say we can do both. Maybe you can, but you don't. So let me ask you question. So Anna is the commissioner for the FCC.
Starting point is 00:08:43 So she works with the FCC, but she's saying that the FCC should be sued. There's three. Yeah, there's three commissioners, or Brandon Carr is the chair. And there's, yeah, and so there's Anna and there's one other lady, and they all sit together. So they're independent of each other, and they were appointed. I think the first two were appointed by President Trump and then Gomez was appointed by President Biden. And so she's speaking out against this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Disney says that that pressure is already changing what it can, what it makes on television. So the view has become more cautious, according to Disney, about booking political candidates. It says that ABC has decided not to air certain clips just to kind of keep the temperature down. But normally, licenses, they were renewed every 50 years, but the FCC has ordered, or excuse me, they renewed every eight years. But the FCC has ordered the process to start early, which hasn't happened in 50 years. There you go. But now Disney says that they want the FCC to. license. They want to renew,
Starting point is 00:09:49 excuse me guys, they want the FCC license renew to go in and they're arguing that the government is violating their First Amendment rights. So we'll continue to watch what that looks like. And this morning, Carmelo Anthony is back in a Collin County courtroom today.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And this time, he is with his new legal defense team and they are fighting to get him a new trial. Anthony was convicted in June of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalfe and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Now, their argument centers around a interview that the judge gave just days after the trial. I believe we have some of that interview. Did the jury get it right? Yeah, they did.
Starting point is 00:10:27 You know, why? Because they were picked based upon the law. They listened to the facts. They happened here in this very courtroom. And they got a verdict. I sleep well at night. I don't think it's my job to feed social media or the media. He seems like a nice show. young man who committed a crime. And he understands today, more than any day before today, the consequences of committing a crime like he did. Tragic situation on all sides, man. Yeah. So the defense will argue that the public was essentially left out of the trial because the courtroom seating was so limited and there was no overflow room, which they say violated
Starting point is 00:11:11 Carmelos constitutional right for a public trial. Prosecutors, though, they disagree. They say the trial was failed. and the verdict should stand. Now, today's hearing over Carmelo's request is for that new trial, which is scheduled for today. But I'm told today's hearing, which again is about getting that judge removed, should be relatively short because there's not going to be a lot of witnesses, so it should be half a day. But tomorrow's hearing, which is the fight for a new trial, is expected to be much longer with more witnesses taking the stand. So we will continue to watch what that looks like as that plays out today in Texas. And now coming up at 6,
Starting point is 00:11:46 something strange is happening in the streets of Philadelphia. Police are now trying to figure out whether someone is just doing it all for clicks. We will fill you in and what's going on there in the next hour. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585151. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Call us up right now.

We still are as well, but it's, you know. Was there a motive?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Was there a motive? Did they ever find out what the motive was for him, the Vietnam? He was trying to protect his son. His son was, it's a long story, but his son was messing. The man, they adopted a lot of kids and one of the, I think, his biological son, was messing with one of the adopted kids, and they were serving a warrant to arrest the son, and the daddy wasn't going to, I guess he just wasn't going to let them take his son, so he started shooting on a lot of cops.

Starting point is 00:25:41 Lauren, I'm a homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. She'd be having the latest confidence. You ask the question that need to be answered. On the breakfast club. If little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. L.L. Cubeb. Talk to me. So yesterday, we broke a story over at Brown Girl grinding that Ms.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Jasmine Guy, icon, will be releasing her memoir. No. Amazing. Shut up. Stop screaming like that. You too old are going on. Thanks. What?
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yes. So she will be releasing her memoir, A Different Girl, which is that is such a cute play on a different world. A different girl. It's set to release February 27 via Black Privilege Publishing. No, that's my book and print.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yes, with pre-orders available right now. So we've known Ms. Jasmine Guy as an actress, a dancer, a singer, a director, and the woman who gave us the unforgettable display of Whitley Gilbert in a different world. But behind every character we know is a person whose full story we don't know. And what makes this memoir so beautiful is the fact that she is going to be doing this
Starting point is 00:26:41 and telling her story alongside her daughter, Amani Guy Duckett, who co-wrote the book with her. Drop on a clue to mouth for Amani, man. How did you convince her to do this? Or she was already in the spirit of it. We had her in here drunk off that cold duck. Made her agree right then and then. No, no, for us. But you know, when Jabond Guy first came to the breakfast club,
Starting point is 00:27:00 and, you know, we had a great time. We was in here drinking, you know, wine. And, you know, when you listen to Jabam Guy, you can just hear the amazing story. that she has. So, you know, when people are ready to write their memoirs, they write them. And I, you know, just be glad that you can be in a position to assist them with that process.
Starting point is 00:27:16 That's all. Have you seen the transcript part of it yet? Or she's like in the early. Okay. So there's like some things, like some surprises we're going to get. Because I feel like with Arsenio Hall, there was a lot of things that people were like, because, you know, he don't really talk much.
Starting point is 00:27:28 We know her story, but she, I feel like. Oh, Jasmine God's private too? Yeah, she's kind of private as well. So. Listen, all of those 90s icons, you know, have valuable cultural currency when it comes to their stories because that was such an amazing area.
Starting point is 00:27:43 You got to remember, different world was the number two highest rated TV show in America. So, yeah, she's got, and beyond that, she was an actress, a dancer,
Starting point is 00:27:53 a singer, a director, of course, a mother, like Jasmine God's story is very, very, very rich. I'm sure it's going to be
Starting point is 00:27:58 some pop stories now. Listen, you got to read it. You got to read it when it comes out. It'll be out February 9th, but it's available everywhere for pre-order
Starting point is 00:28:06 right now. Drop on a clues bomb for Jasmine Guy, man. Salute to Ms. Jasmine Guy. Okay, we're going to celebrate our icons, and we're going to celebrate a different world, the proper way. Different world comes out, what, September? September 24th. Listen, that is a perfect time.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I saw our fans. Go ahead. No, because school is back in. Think about what you could do around HBCUs with a different world. Like, you know, like a Jasmine guy, got her memoir coming out. I'm sure that it's other cast members that's going to be telling their stories in various ways. You know, we got to show up for our people.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Well, the dope thing about Jasmine guys, she already does it. Like, she already pulls her. up to the HBCU. She ever had those conversations. She never really left. So I've seen them more on the HBC you running anything else. So that's dope that she she'll continue to do that. Yes. Yep. And you mentioned September 24th. I saw fans point out the fact that the original different world dropped on September 24th all those decades ago. I didn't even know that that, know that correlation. And I looked it up yesterday. God be Godin. Like divine alignment is incredible because, you know, Jasmine and Moni been working on this book. Right. And when we first
Starting point is 00:29:05 started this process, I didn't know different world was coming back. But now a different world is coming back in September. Then her book comes out February 9th. That's just all God. Yeah. That's just all the divine alignment. The first season of a different world dropped September 24th, 1987. And then now this one will be back September 24th, 2026.
Starting point is 00:29:21 So the things are aligning. So congratulations, Ms. Jasmine Guy and to you, Charlotte as well. So we'll be looking off for that. Go pre-order that right now. A different girl. Yes. All right, now the VMAs, the MTV VMA awards, the were announced yesterday.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Charlemagne mentioned earlier that he didn't even know that the VMAs were like on or coming back on. Because I don't watch MTV. I don't even hear about MTV. Not even that. I don't really see videos anymore like that. What? No. I don't really see video. Like before. You talking about like music videos? Yes. Yeah, I don't either. I feel like people are putting effort and time back into
Starting point is 00:29:53 music videos. But you got to go to YouTube. Remember we get to turn on the TV? Oh, no, no. Yeah, you can't do that. But I feel like you only see it one time. And then you'll never care about it again. Before you would see videos all the time. That's right. We had the program. We had the programming. Yeah, we don't have a programming like we used to, but they do still do the video music awards. And yesterday, the nominations dropped. Madonna is leading the nominations for 2026.

Starting point is 00:31:10 You never turned on Madonna. You're right. You're right. Shut up. So best collaboration category, clips. Kendrick Lamar, push it tea and malice for chains and whips. I didn't know they had a video for that. They got a video for chains and whips?

Starting point is 00:35:00 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D.J. N.V. Jess Lari. Sholomaine Naga. We are the breakfast club. Salute to the clips. I'm about to watch this video right now for the first time ever in life.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Yeah, me too. Listen. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. M.V.J. Jolameen, how y'all doing this hour? Peace to meet you Brown from Howard University. There you go.
Starting point is 00:35:22 We start this morning with a new statement from the district attorney overseeing the investigation into the death of Nolan Wells. So in a statement released yesterday, Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers, McGill-Rath, she is pushing back against growing pressure to release more information in the case. Now, she says that she understands why people want answers, especially when Nolan's families and others are making statements publicly, and prosecutors are not. McEleth-Rath says that the law limits what she can say while the investigation is still underway.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Now, she says, though, that she will not release any information simply to take the public pressure off of the audience or off of her office. Excuse me. She said that no one deserves better. But in my recent sit-down interview with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, which is out Friday, I asked her why she believes the district attorney is not releasing more information in this case. And this is what she had to say. You only make it worse, like when there's a vacuum where, It is very clear that we're missing information in the amount of time that that vacuum kind of sits there open.
Starting point is 00:36:32 It allows for the conspiracy theories to continue to proliferate. So the question is, are you not telling us because you don't wanna tell us the truth? Because in my opinion, if you had any information that would exonerate the foul play, just like you came out real fast, real quick and in a hurry, ain't nothing to see here. I think that if you could back that up,
Starting point is 00:36:55 with the autopsy you would, but y'all ain't said nothing. And I know that autopsy is done. I know that, right? So if it was anything to say, nope, nobody did anything, I think they would have let it out. Simple as that.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I mean, it's really just that simple. If you had evidence that there was no foul play and, you know, these kids were completely innocent in every way, shape, or form, they'd have dropped that yesterday. Yep. And you know what? I think they're hoping that,
Starting point is 00:37:25 you know, everything around this case quiets down. Like the media stops talking about it. People on social media stop talking about it. And then they can sweep it under the rug. But as long as you keep it front and center, it can't go away. Absolutely. And I know that's exactly what his parents want. And today would have been Nolan's 19th birthday.
Starting point is 00:37:45 So his parents are celebrating. They're holding a prayer rally today. And they're continuing to call for answers, transparency, and the release of the official. autopsy findings. So yeah, we want to wish them all good vibes this morning, as I know it must be very, very difficult to deal with today, especially on today. And this next story sounds like something out of a horror movie. So someone in Philadelphia is wearing a Chucky-style mask and terrorizing people in downtown Philadelphia. So the police are trying to find him. It happened last Wednesday,
Starting point is 00:38:25 City Hall. Police say the man was chasing people, threatening them, and trying to get into businesses. One woman says she was jogging when police say he started following her. He had his cell phone in one hand and he kept his other hand behind his back, making her think that he had a weapon. Police say he reportedly asked her, are you ready to die? The woman took off running. She fell. She hurt her leg. But investigators say she wasn't the only person that he targeted that morning. A police say that same mask man was seen harassing other pedestrians trying to get into nearby businesses. And then there was a woman named Jamika who says she spotted him trying to get the attention of a different jogger. And she tried to warn that jogger.
Starting point is 00:39:07 And that's when the man came after her. So she says that she put her hands up and got ready to fight. Let's listen. He just seemed so disoriented about what his goals actually were. Like I had bags. He wasn't reaching for those. It didn't seem like he had a clear goal to like actually get in Lackalum to do. anything. So I was like, okay, well, let's see if you can fight and he couldn't.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Jamaica. Jamaica. I know that's right. Jamika from Philly. I mean, I'm going to be honest with you. I think that's a really creative way to die. Like, because clearly some people are suicidal and they don't want to just kill themselves. Like whoever that is dressing up like Chucky, he wants to go out with some theatrics. Okay, some razzle dazzle. Right. He don't want it, though. Jamika said he ain't wanted it. Jamika said she put her hands up and he didn't want it. He couldn't fight. He's going to get his dazzle razzle razzle. That's what I'm saying. And being dressed like Chucky is very fitting because that is indeed child's play.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Okay? And when you play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes. You running up on people dressed like Chucky talking about you ready to die. In Philly? Bound! It shouldn't be nothing else to talk about. And there ain't nobody going to have no remorse for whoever that is behind that mask. Jamaica said, I ain't run.
Starting point is 00:40:13 I put my hands up. See if he could fight. What's the most dangerous neighborhood to go in Philly? I don't know. Eddie, what is it? North Philly? Yeah, why don't go down with North Philly? next people are they ready to die on the block?
Starting point is 00:40:23 I don't know. Sounds like he is in downtown Philly around City Hall, terrorizing the people who are just trying to go to work and, you know, get on the train. Well, he's about 5'8, they said. He's about 5'8. They believe he's anywhere from 16 to 20. Investigators, though, they're trying to figure out who he is.
Starting point is 00:40:42 They say that that cell phone that he's holding, it may be a clue. Police believe he recorded some of these encounters are, and maybe are using them to go viral. Let's listen to what the police had to They're scouring social media to see if they come across this individual posting this online material.
Starting point is 00:40:57 It'll be good for us to make it easier to find them. You're telling me that he's 5'8 and he hasn't been shot yet. See, I thought he was a midgett still. And the reason I thought he was a midgett is because, you know, if a little person run up on you dressed like Chuckie, you're going to think twice. He'd be like, what the hell is that? You might think it's a little kid, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:15 So you might not be so quick to pull out that thing. You're 5'8, you should have been shot already. Exactly. me. Running up on people dressed like Chuckie talking about do you want to die with your hands behind your back?
Starting point is 00:41:24 Okay. All right. Jamaica almost knocked his ass out. You're going to meet Freddie. You're going to be asleep. Okay. Well, police say they released surveillance video and they are asking
Starting point is 00:41:35 anyone who may know who this is to come forward. So, you know, we'll see what happens. This happened about a week ago. So so far, no one has come forward. But if he's out there, this is now making national news. I saw it being reported in London.
Starting point is 00:41:49 So everybody is talking about it. I'm not wishing death on them. You know what I'm saying? But he should get shot. Because you're running up on people, raising up their quarters all levels. Life is already too stressful. People's anxiety is already through the roof. And you running up on people dressed like Chuckie talking about, do you want to die?
Starting point is 00:42:03 At least a little leg shot or something. Did he run from Jamaica? Did he run from Jamaica? She said he just seemed like disoriented. Like, nah, he ain't really want to fight. He probably just walked off. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:14 He just walked up. I don't think he ran from her. But she was ready. She was ready. She put out a kick, too. Do you guys see the kick? She, she, she, demonstrate you the kid. Send me that she was.
Starting point is 00:42:22 I'm going to send you the video. Send you the video. All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news. When you do a random karate kick, you'd be scared about. Yeah, yeah. Trying to scare somebody. What are you? What are they doing?
Starting point is 00:42:35 Like, do the crane to do? Do the crane back. You're about to do nothing. People to be dangerous. Data people that end up being the most dangerous to scare people. You know, no karate actually do karate when they get, you know, attack you ain't about to just throw out a kick that was a warning kick
Starting point is 00:42:52 that's all that was back up off me all right thank you Mimi now when we come back one of probably the guess that Jess has been talking about for months now London Brown will be joining us he's promoting the final season of Power Book 3 Raising Canaan and if you listen to the show
Starting point is 00:43:10 you know Jess will find a way to call somebody Uncle Marvin to I guess to make things seem like the Uncle Marvin Yes. And now Uncle Marvin will be joining us. The world of Canaan is real, y'all. Chill out. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:43:22 We'll talk to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess hilarious. Salomey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Long La Rosa is here as well. We've got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Uncle Marvel, ladies and gentlemen. Now, I appreciate you from buddies and sisters. Yes, just has been dying for you to come up here. When I mean, every moment, I mean... Everything in life relates to you.
Starting point is 00:43:47 It revolves about you. We can be talking about just regular stuff and she brings up an Uncle Marvin story and I really think she thinks it's real. Listen, how real is it to you? You know what? But no, beyonds, that's what people are supposed to feel.
Starting point is 00:44:02 If we as actors are doing what we, you know, what we should be doing, which is people should feel some sort of empathy for these characters. So that was the goal anyway. I didn't want Uncle Marvin to be a caricature on a show and just the, you know, just somebody. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:16 You should feel, you should feel like, you know, you see something within that person that's human, and that's what we connect to. And you know Marvin was going to die when you started this final season? Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That's her question. That's what she wanted to know. That's all she wanted to say.
Starting point is 00:44:31 I'm not going to be in the middle of this. She might fight you right now. That's all she wanted to know. It wasn't me. I didn't know that. Anyway, since your reaction, what was you going to say? Did you know that Uncle Marvin's character was going to tie? I'm trying to remember because they were really good and not, like, they don't.
Starting point is 00:44:47 People think like we get all the seasons and it's just a boatload of scripts and we just know what's going on. We don't really know. So because of that, at the time was kind of annoying for me because I was like, man, I want to know what's happening so I can start to play these things early. But because I didn't know, it forced me to just be extremely present because I didn't know. So it's just like, let me just like this. So I don't, I'm trying to think if he, shout to Sasha Penn, the show run. I'm trying to think if he told me or not. He may have, but there's so much going on.
Starting point is 00:45:16 You would have remembered that because now you got to get another. job. It was different. We knew season was ending. Yeah, the show was done. So I've been thinking by unemployment since the show started. Act was like an incredible
Starting point is 00:45:27 temp job. Like, you work when you work. You know what I mean? But I don't trust, to be honest with you, I don't trust none of this stuff, man. I got it, all this stuff is God anyway
Starting point is 00:45:35 because I can't depend on this stuff. Everything, the business is fickle anyway. So, you know, and then we had the rider strike, COVID and all the thing. I can't be, you know, worrying about this stuff too much.
Starting point is 00:45:47 But you play such a pivotal role, you know, as Uncle Marvin's character in the world of Raising Canaan, right? What did it mean to London Brown when Uncle Marvin did get killed and we had to see it in three different angles, Marvin, in the church. I know, he kind of said, Mrs. Spike Lee, he's good for that. He'll double back on an emotion like that. But, you know, it was just interesting that the guys that I, people send me like voice notes of the, you know, guys crying. And we're talking about these some goons. So, you know, and shout out to my,
Starting point is 00:46:23 shout to Big Mike on Chicago. He was telling me how they had some opposing. He was watching the show with some ops and different people. But at that particular moment, people, you know, felt they still cried, you know. But that's cool. I mean, he's supposed to feel that. Yeah. That's what, otherwise.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Why would Mike be watching this TV show with his ops? Because that, or he brings them together. Right. That's exactly what. He was, he was in the room. He did not necessarily, his office. but there were two opposing people that were in the same building. And he was a watch party, something and so,
Starting point is 00:46:52 and he was talking, say, hey, man, these dudes up there, they're crying about your show, man. They love what you're doing. I was gonna kill you, man, but Uncle Marvin, boy, you better be lucky Uncle Marvin's dog. Your character started to evolve, though, because at first you was like, super, like, volatile. And then you started, like, having conversations
Starting point is 00:47:09 with your daughter, and we started feeling feelings, and you were still eating snacks, but, like, we were always kind of trying to figure out what emotion and what's, side we were going to get from you. But it was like you were trying to evolve if it's a man, but you couldn't leave who you were. I think, but I think that's Uncle Marvin is
Starting point is 00:47:24 I think, well, what I try to do is try to just layer him down as far as he's not just one thing. So at one point he could be holding a bag of of chips, he could be holding the gun or he could be holding his daughter. And none of those things seem out of place because they all are him. So, but most, when you think about most of us,
Starting point is 00:47:41 we're not just one thing. We're not always one particular way. Sometimes we wake up in the morning, we get a text. The text of three whole energy off but that's not to say that you're not being the real you when you show up for work this is this is what version of you you got when you with your kids that's another version there we are a substronom of things so again i just wanted to i just wanted him to read as a real person and not just some you know and also i'm with some i'm with some juggin eyes like shout to patina miller yes tony danza window pier i'm with some haley kiel i'm with some
Starting point is 00:48:12 some people that's going to show up so yeah i'm not trying to get i wasn't my mom main goal was not to get what I call Lost in the Sauce with the show. I already knew. I was like, man, I ain't fin to just, I'm with some hitters. These, these folks get busy with the acting. So, I was like, man, let me stay employed, man. And also, when I'm acting, I'm low-key auditioning for
Starting point is 00:48:31 the next project. I don't know who going to sit back and watch this show. You know, I'm trying to, I'm thinking about, I'm this for today, but also for tomorrow. Where'd you grow up? L.A. I'm from South Central, L.A. That's crazy. How long did it take for you to get the New York accent down? Because you've got it down. Well, you know, honestly, I
Starting point is 00:48:46 I started to... Even lying the whole time? A little bit. No, what that was, I started kind of entertained the idea because I used to do as Denzel
Starting point is 00:48:57 impersonation. So I had some ideas about... Let's hear it. A little bit. It's not what you know. It's what you can prove. So when I began to work on,
Starting point is 00:49:06 calling these things out, boom. Anyway, start playing with, you know, the verbiage of that and the vows of that. And then, of course, just being around the culture, I was outside all the time.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And shot on also to Malcolm Mays. We both from LA. Love me. But I'm glad people, you know, people, they liked what we did because, you know, if we didn't do, if we didn't, if we weren't believable, they would, they would, I would have heard it.
Starting point is 00:49:27 I'm outside all the time. You know, you know, you know, I was telling Jess earlier, well, she was asking me, she said I didn't know you, but I'm like, we've interviewed London before. Actually, yeah, yeah. But you're a comedian. Yeah, I'm standing.
Starting point is 00:49:40 He does stand-up. Yeah, I'm standing up. Is he, he, he's driven all of your questions? You know, tell. You know what? I already know about you. I've been on shows, but you had everything.
Starting point is 00:49:50 The show of me is allowed. Actually, yes. We did Barclays together. Oh, you just called him Marvin. I didn't think you knew nothing. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:49:56 I know. I know. I know he's going to be in the middle of this. But I still always acknowledge him as London Brown, but he just played a very, very, you know, heartfelt character to me. No,
Starting point is 00:50:09 just like I did shows with him. What do you mean? Like, I know. You get nervous, nervous about being stuck as Marvin? Right? Meaning we had a Mari up here and I was like, people look at you as ghosts so much that that bother you as an actor. Like that you'll be always. No.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Especially because people love Marvin or was so into Marvin. Marvin is solidified as ghosts? No, I just say that. I'm not comparing. I mean, I think, well, okay, I think ghost is different because of he led the show so early on. But I think your character, by the time you died, people really. Just like, y'all, just they need the one of y'all know. No, I feel like people really hanging on to Uncle Marvin
Starting point is 00:50:45 and you passing away. I think it's different because ghosts let the series. I'm just comparing the two. Like people know him as this. Are you nervous that people are only known to your market? No, I mean, I'm like, first of all, man,
Starting point is 00:50:57 we got to, again, we got to decide what we want to be, by the way, the fact that people even know London or Marvin, I ain't tripping. Yes. You know what I mean? So I'm like, I'm good. I'm good with that because let's go back.
Starting point is 00:51:08 When I first did this with you guys, we're on the show called The Hustle. Nobody, nobody. Oh, shit. You know what I didn't remember? You know what I'm saying? He was on that. We did that together.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Exactly. We did the whole scene together. I'm trying to show your dumb ass. Oh, holy shit. He was on ballless. He did the hustle. Yo, I literally said, I said, you act like you don't know that you know who London Brons did.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I don't know. I was telling her I know who you are. She was trying to tell me I didn't know who you are. I know who London Brown is, but I forgot we did the hustle. With Freddie Gibbs. And you, and me. But you know, again,
Starting point is 00:51:45 No, this is why we do this. This is what TV does. Like, what the f*** did I walk into? You're the name? No, no, I get it. This is all part of this, this journey of all of this, which is, you know, you do an interview two, you do a show or two,
Starting point is 00:51:59 and people get a little more exposure to different things. So, I mean, I know this is early stage, so to your question, I'm not concerned about, you know, because I'm not stuck to one idea, but if people remember me for Marvin, that's cool. Whatever, you know, buy tickets, come out, and Marvin all day then.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Now, how involved was Fifth on set with Raising Canaan? I mean, I know he showed up a few times. He showed up a few times. He showed up a few times. He wasn't like there every day because, of course, he got his own thing. He got going on, but he showed up a few times to just, you know, see how, how, what his money is doing. And I got it, you know, but he was cool. Shout out the Fifth, man.
Starting point is 00:52:36 And to see how McCaugh Curtis was getting the talk down just like him. Because like you said, season one, McCoy Curtis wasn't talking like 50. Yeah, we talk more like 50 than 50. He got over here, no, he was for this thing. Yeah, he said to McCa. That's a lot, man. People don't understand, like, to carry a show like that or like this, this is a big show. He, you know, he was always cool, always humble, man, nice.
Starting point is 00:53:00 That's the cool thing about the show is that everybody does good energy, man. It wasn't like, you know, it didn't get weird. Because sometimes it get weird. And also, I got a shout out to the writers again because sometimes on the show, by the second and third season, the writing starts tanking. Yes. But this show, I felt personally that the writing just got better. It got strong and just got more the plot twist.
Starting point is 00:53:19 You never knew what was going on. But so I'm just glad to even be a part of the show, man. You think Marvin deserved it. I think that with that lifestyle, that comes with that, that's going to be expected. Even with a redemption art? Well, even with that, sometimes, but that's how life is. Sometimes it may not always circle around. Because the only I could have thought of it, I said, if they didn't write them,
Starting point is 00:53:42 If they didn't write his death, then maybe he would have, you know, rolled off into the sunset with jukebox and maybe he's been a different kind of dad. But I think how he went out, I think it was good storytelling. I did it, man. So shout out to him. Did you watch Power? I watched Power later. Like a long time.
Starting point is 00:53:57 I watched it later as in recently because, again, I didn't watch it initially because at the time I was on Ballers. And I remember hearing about Game of Thrones Ballers and Power. I wanted me on Power badly. I was like, man, I knew the Hood watched Power. But I, you know, but I was grateful for mine, but I didn't want to watch it because I was like, I wanted to do it. So when I eventually- Was it acting bad to you? No, no, no. Amar, oh, man, Amari. Oh, man, I haven't made him yet.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Amari just, oh, man. I can find out because of what Lauren says. She said the acting was bad. I didn't say the acting. I said, we grew with Tari in his role once he took over once Omari died. That is what I said. That is what I said. As a lead of the show, we grew with Tari is what I said.
Starting point is 00:54:38 I thought it was great. Yeah, Amari is strong. All, Amari, strong, all made. , Amari, Amari, strong, act, whatever. She's strong. There's a couple of cats, man, when you watch him, again, you feel something when you watch. That's what, but also, when they took him out,
Starting point is 00:54:51 I say, there ain't nobody's safe. Because as the face and as strong because he wasn't as an actor, I definitely didn't get comfortable on Raisin. People still think he alive. He, oh, man, shout to him, Marr. I ain't met the brother yet. That brother got chops.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Strong, right? You better, you better bring your A game with somebody like him. People like Patina, shout out to Alon Noel. on Nemesis. We started, we did the hustle together. I remember. Yeah, Alon is, some cats, they get busy.
Starting point is 00:55:20 How you like Nemesis? Alon is strong. Alon is strong. That's what's the, yeah. Uh-huh, Courtney Kay. That's my guy. I actually spoke to him a couple days ago. Some telling you, man, some people just got the, got the,
Starting point is 00:55:31 they got the chops. That brother got chops, man. So shout out to Alana, well. That's another one. I'm telling you, these are the next ones. How do you find time to stay on the road and stay on these stages with, you know, a flourishing acting career? You know what? It's just one of those things when, you know, even when I was here, you tried to hit us from, it's just a part of your lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I mean, you know this. We try to get, you know, I get into a city if I'm there. And that's one thing TV does help with is that allows me to kind of drop in on the spot. Whatever you want. Can I get a little time? And sometimes I don't even need a lot of time. Just let me get the, let me try this new material out. Let me just get on stage.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Just something about staying on stage that, you know, keeps yourself active with it. So, but I, you know, and bills is how I stay. Bills don't stop, man. And then people, you know, people borrow. They think because you on TV, they just assume you got money. I'm like, man, everybody just, my thing is this. I'm speaking to that, this is the least my friends can do. My friends watch this.
Starting point is 00:56:36 If you're going to borrow some money from me, look, I looked there. This one right. If you're going to borrow some money for me, the least I need you to do is watch the show. That's the least you can do. All my friends are going to borrow some money and then don't watch the show. How you know they don't watch it? Come on, man. I can't afford a star's package.
Starting point is 00:56:51 How do you know they don't watch it? I can tell because, but it's one of those things too. Sometimes your friends don't see what's going. They can't see the progression because they're so close to you. So I'm, and I don't mind. I mean, I'm still, quote, unquote, London and that's cool because that keeps me in a very grounded space. But I'm like, well, you're going to borrow.
Starting point is 00:57:09 some money. At least watch the show. But what if I can't afford stars? Or your Wi-Fi cut off. That's what they borrow on money. You don't. I don't, I ain't buying it. If they got money for weed and they got money for a haircut, you got, you got a little. That's why they borrow money from you. Man, that's why I can't be doing this. There's no more.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I'm not a no. What's the most of somebody asked you for? A few, a few grand. What's a few? Three? No, no, at least. I'm going to watch something. I think this, I think you guys about seven to, I think 10 grand.
Starting point is 00:57:36 It's not a few. Seven to seven to ten grand. I hate it. No, no, no. I hate when you get asked me for something they know they can't never pay me back. You never made this much money in your life at one time. That's what I'm saying? My thing is, at least, okay, if you're not going to.
Starting point is 00:57:46 But what was it for, though? Was it for something good? Or was it, was it? You know what? I think it might have been for something good, but it's just the fact that, first of all, we didn't even, some of these people, we've never even had lunch before, right? Wow. So it's just like, the unimidated gall to do that, I'm like, the fact that you even went that high
Starting point is 00:58:03 lets me know you've been counting. Yeah? Or you've been trying to count. I'm like, what made you think 10 grand? is disrespectful. Seven grand. But audacity is crazy. I ain't even ever sat down at lunch with you
Starting point is 00:58:14 and I'm asking about $10,000. And I haven't watched one full episode. Come on. They part of thing Uncle Marvin is still making it through the episode. That's not right. The net worth is 2 to 4 million, so yeah. Hey man, put the papers to the side, man.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Celebrity Network, 2 to 4 million. The weirdest part is when they ask for weird numbers that you can't say no. Let me get $142. Mm-hmm. People know better than it. Because you know that specific. They might really need that.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Let me get $63. 18 cent. I just start replying to times. I just, I don't even, you know, and, and just keep it moving. Because sometimes, again, I do help a lot of people. And I will call people and I say, hey, maybe you need something. If I can't help with the whole amount, maybe I could put a little something down on. I can help you with it. But, you know, again, but, you know, if you want to keep your heart in check, you got to give anyway. It don't necessarily mean money, but you got to keep your heart in check by giving. Absolutely. Now, talk to me about the London Brown Scholarship.
Starting point is 00:59:09 I think it's absolutely dope that you have a scholarship named after you. Yes, I'm part of a shout-out to Dr. Teresa Price, NCRF National College Resources Foundation. So me, Yo-Yo, Kel Mitchell, Da Vinci, we're all like ambassadors for the program. What we do, basically, we travel around and when we're not working and whatnot, and we help give out scholarships to help students get into HBCUs. And so we all do our seminars and we try to just be, you know, inspirational on that side, but also put some money if we can help these students out then we can try to do. Because sometimes a lot of people, man, they first time, you know, first time going off the college,
Starting point is 00:59:49 they, parents might be immigrants or something. They don't cover no background of college and school or whatnot. But if we can help them and inspire them to do so, and like I said, be a space for resources. And sometimes that might just mean, even if it's not financial, it might be just, because we give out a lot of scholarships on the spot. Some people get full rise. So if we can do that stuff and they can understand
Starting point is 01:00:13 and just see it coming from somebody real regular, Decliffe from Salis in LA, but they'd be like, man, you're on the show? Again, the show is that, that's the drawing. You know, TV is good for the influence. But now I've got your attention. Let's talk about something more solid or let's get to the thing.
Starting point is 01:00:30 We were talking about that this morning what young Doug was talking about. I think that's what he was trying to say when he was saying how, what was it? You got a famous. You want kids to be famous? That's the most important part.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Fame gets you in rooms, but I was saying that, no, you know, the work gets you in those rooms and you can become famous from that work that you're already doing. Right, right. That's kind of what you're saying as well. Yeah, I mean, because, again, to be on TV is if we're not going to do anything with us, with that, it's kind of like, what are we doing? It's the same thing like, and I don't know, maybe because I'm not a billionaire yet, but I'm like, how do we have billionaires and we still got people homeless?
Starting point is 01:01:08 I don't understand that Homeless veterans Again, maybe because I'm not in that space yet But I'm like, when people talk about Not having so much money They can't spend it all How does that work? Probably because you're not supposed to have that much
Starting point is 01:01:23 Yeah Anyway, that's all I get into some others But nonetheless, the whole idea is just that Don't let me become a billionaire I'm looking for people to help And you know, if I can do that I'm like, man, let's just let's get it going Well, I mean, you're proving that right
Starting point is 01:01:37 because what you do with a million dollars is what you're going to do with a billion. There you go. What did Marvin teach you about forgiveness that London didn't understand before playing? I think just to slow down and process, meaning sometimes, you know, we judge our parents and then when you get old, they'd be like, okay, that's why dad was like this. I know why my dad didn't stick around because mom was tripping. or mom my mom I remember she told me early on she said London don't
Starting point is 01:02:07 don't be talking don't share your business with everybody because everybody ain't happy for you now at the time I didn't understand that now I'm like you know I get it my mother's you know she's very clandestine and just you know
Starting point is 01:02:21 now looking forward I realize people ain't happy for you so you just stopped I just stopped sharing stuff you know and and keep to myself but anyway that's the same I think with Marvin is one of those things too. Just slow down the process. On the show, Marvin's father, they committed suicide.
Starting point is 01:02:37 And there's little things where we have to realize, why is Marvin the way he is? Nobody, no one's born a criminal. That's why when you understand why people do what they do, why they do what they do and get to the psychology of these things, your judgment comes down because you realize something led them to where they are and choices and circumstances. So with Marvin, part of that too is bringing the judgment down because you realize everybody got a story.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Again, Canaan didn't start off as the OG Canaan. At one point, he was a kid. He didn't like the sight of blood. That was, you know, traumatic for him. And then you look up and he said, oh, man, he looked at Rock. Because I remember when the show first dropped
Starting point is 01:03:19 and was like, go ahead, Rock Black Queen. And I'm like, Rock was manipulating this thing from the junk. When you look at Canning, be like, man, for your moms to have you try to, you know, take your pops out. You know, all of these things lead up to the Canaan that we get to
Starting point is 01:03:35 and same thing with Marvin. You know, Marvin had was learning and growing as everyone was watching. So, as I am, so I'm learning from that. You mentioned losing your brother a couple of times, right? Did playing a character like Marvin, surrounded by all that death, you know, the killing,
Starting point is 01:03:51 did it ever become emotionally expensive for you? You know, this last season was definitely what happens is like upper back is like stress but lower back is like emotional stress and I remember my back
Starting point is 01:04:06 I did a lot of lower back pain the last season it was like every day it was just it was emotional you know that year I went to like 20 funerals in 2024 so the first 8th
Starting point is 01:04:19 was between January and February so I get these calls all the time yeah I get these calls all the time so again it wasn't difficult to go there with Marvin. The day before we started shooting season five, grandmother had passed,
Starting point is 01:04:33 and I got a call about that. And so all these things were just, again, it was, I was very, but when I lost my brother, because before my brother, I remember hearing you guys talk about this one time, I think it might have been with, I think Tyrese was on here,
Starting point is 01:04:47 but just talking about, I grew up in the hood, so I was conditioned not to cry. I thought something was medically wrong, but you don't realize that because you just functioned and you're just moving. But after I lost my brother, I became way more empathetic and just,
Starting point is 01:05:01 the good thing about that was it made me just way more passionate and way more empathetic for people. And so I feel for people, you know, in a different way. But I didn't know that until again, when I lost my brother, I was like, oh, shoot, this is that. You know, and as rough as that was, like I said, the cool thing about it was it just changed my heart in a good way. and it just made me just care.
Starting point is 01:05:27 That's what I'm. Thank you, man. We appreciate you. I'm not doing this with y'all. London, thank you so much. I'm sorry, London. I'm sorry, London. No, man.
Starting point is 01:05:36 I love them. Every time you're talking. London is the same thing. London is the man. I appreciate your family. I always love you, Uncle Marvin. Thank you so far. London, Brown,
Starting point is 01:05:45 aka Uncle Marvin. Do you want to say anything else? Real quick. One last thing, man. Shout out. No, I got to sign my boy. I got to sign my boy. I got to sign my boy.

Justin Hired, B.T. Kingsley, be sure to follow these guys. That's your part. Yeah, my, I say these guys, my guys, my brothers. Your podcast.
Starting point is 01:06:13 It's our podcast. But the thing about what makes it dope is that we talk to cast about not necessarily how they're doing now, but how did they get there? How did you get to a million followers? How did you sell out whatever your theater? or how'd you book and become number one on the call sheet. So, yo, when you guys in the city, please, I mean, hey, love to have you guys and chop it up or something, you know. Absolutely.

I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version. of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first

I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the Survivor Five. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced.
Starting point is 01:09:53 but these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's get to the latest with Laura. You better be told us for all right. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio, the black radio.
Starting point is 01:10:18 That sources trust. Did you hear that exclusive? Lauren. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest conference. You ask the question that need to be answered. On the breakfast club. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.
Starting point is 01:10:31 L.L. Coobe. Talk to me. So Cardi B is having that conversation with her kids. Which one? The one about them need to know how to fight. Oh. That's right. Let's take a listen to the conversation and we'll get into a conversation.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Let's take a listen to Cardi. Ready for Bucking Day tomorrow. This is the age we need to know how to fight. Everybody knows how to fight. Yeah, that's it. Where about? No, knowing them. gonna try you when you grew up in sh**.
Starting point is 01:10:54 You know, you're in them white good schools, but you know, you're outside. I mean, gonna be there for you all the time. And I got some . So, you know, when you're 25 and shit, and I'm gonna be, you know, I'm like. Don't maybe bring out my daughter? Which daughter you want?
Starting point is 01:11:08 Both my daughters got them hands and my sons, you understand? No, when I'm an old bitch and I can't fight no more, you got me? Yeah, exactly. When I'm like about 60 and I'm talking shit, please, that's when you come in. Coach her, come beat this ass. Yeah, she's fucking me.
Starting point is 01:11:23 I'm playing bingo. At Rip Blossom, too, you're going to jump ass. Kids should know how to defend themselves. Yeah, they should. When age, I'm going to hold you. My mother's 60 and she's talking is she talking is. My, shut up. We're not doing it.
Starting point is 01:11:35 It gets worse. It gets older. Talking is to who? To anybody, she said, when I'm old and I'm 60 and I'm talking ish to these bitches, I'm going to call y'all to get on. Nah. Well, it's the thing. Shut my mother up at 16.
Starting point is 01:11:47 You should know how to defend this. Cardi B's kids probably going to get suspended once or twice, right? I'm going to tell exactly what happens, right? because that's how we all start, right? Right? When I had my first child, I told him the same thing, teach him how to fight and this daddy ever. But you got to tell you kids, there's parameters, right? So what usually happens is when they go to school and somebody says something
Starting point is 01:12:01 and they get into a fight and then you got to tell them, well, you got to wait to somebody hit you first. Like, because you've got to stand parameters. If not, because your kids have just all whaling out. Like my daughter Madison, who's 24, the first day I, you know, I taught her how to fight and if there's a problem in school. Next day she closed line the kid and she got suspended, right? Jesus.
Starting point is 01:12:16 She just went and found a kid to call the kid. Kid pushed her. Kid pushed her. So she went from one side of the playground to the other playground and close line the kid. She got suspended. Then I had to tell her, you know, well, you just can't put your hands on anybody and you got to teach them this parameters. Like, if somebody hit you,
Starting point is 01:12:30 hit them back, you know? That's why I didn't say teach them how to fight. I said you got to teach them. They're about to defend themselves, yes. And that's how you can decide how to defend yourself. But just fighting to get them suspended and then you have to read. Exactly. Like you said, it's parameters. Calibrate and everything. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:46 All right. Now, moving on. So JT, JT, formerly City Girls. She is now taking on a new career path because she went and took some DJ classes. That's what's up, actually. Let's take a listen. So yesterday I went to a class with Sarado-Talern had a DJ,
Starting point is 01:13:02 and I see why DJ used to be ignoring the fuck out of us growing up. When we go up to the DJ booth and you like, can you play this song, can you play this song? And we thought that it was being so rude. Bitch, DJing is actually really fucking hard. You really have to focus. That is like a real skill, and I just want to apologize to DJs. Growing up, I used to think that you just did not want to play this song that I liked in the club.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Not knowing you got to cue up. You got to do all of this stuff. You got to transition at home. I'm still learning, so I got to learn all the lingo or whatever, but I get it now. Like, I 100% get it. So all y'all motherfuckers that be going to the DJ booth and y'all be like, hey, play this song and y'all be doing that little shit. Sit the f*** down. I love it.
Starting point is 01:13:42 I respect that. If she got the lingo transition, absolutely cue up? Absolutely. But you got to know how to do it, though. Yeah. That'd be the thing with a lot of celebrity DJs, they don't really. do nothing but play music. They don't actually DJ. It'll mix. It'd be cute.
Starting point is 01:13:54 But that's my thing though, right? Because I understand her being like, now I get it and I want to bother the DJ. But there are some DJs that like it don't be good. They be mixing, they be doing all that stuff. And it still doesn't be good. So I'm requesting songs because I'm here and I'm spending my money. But it happens a lot, but sometimes DJs have a set, right? So if they're in their old school set
Starting point is 01:14:11 and somebody says, I want to hear this or they're in their reggae set and somebody says, I want to hear this or they're in their down south set and I want to hear this. And people a lot of times they're drunk and they just want to hear this song when they want to hear this song. That's not how we go, though. No, don't. I can't tell what a good DJ is anymore because all y'all do is staying around.
Starting point is 01:14:25 You got a whole generation of people who don't do nothing but staying around on the club all day long. I'm just a professional button presser. They're not mixing no more. Certain DJs, if you're really, really good and you're getting into, Envi's a really good DJ. People think that you're not. I get busy. Yeah, people don't think he's a little DJ.
Starting point is 01:14:40 They think he's just a celebrity DJ. Like the little cute DJ. A lot of people think you're not. But I tell people all the time, you are in the transitions. You can't be at a party. In certain DJs, you can't be at their party. You can't hear certain songs they mix and you lit and you're not dance. Envy, you know that when you DJ parties of a certain age,
Starting point is 01:14:56 especially the alumni parties of people that are the old we dance. Yeah, I dance. There's a whole new generation. They'll be standing around looking dumb. Well, see, well, that's the thing. That's the thing. I, you know, I'm in a place where I can DJ what I want to DJ now. But I won't do certain places because I want to have fun, right?
Starting point is 01:15:12 And if I got a DJ and everybody's standing there looking at you, they're standing on couch and they're just looking at it. And then, you know, just looking at a bunch of dudes in a section looking at each of. I'm like, I don't want to do it. But now if I go to a party and people like to dance, like when it's home coming or it's an R&B party or I just did something in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago. It's like 6,000, 7,000 people. Like, I love that because people dance. They give you that energy back. Other than that, you can keep that. But back to what you said, I get busy. Oh, you do. Listen, I went to the cousins festival, baby. I get busy. Yeah. Every set had every generation out there going crazy. I'd be humble. He played music from every generation and he mixed his transitions. I be hungry. But most of these niggas can't tie my shoes I'd be humble but most of these niggas can't tie my shoes
Starting point is 01:15:54 Say the other one. Say what Uncle Maher's saying you can't even I'm so high you can't even see me, Nick No say to other than what you say? Nikes can't tie my shoes. Period. I'll be humble, I get busy. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Yeah. And listen and when you see Capital B. And when you see the guys Capital B used to be and when you see the guys standing on the coaches you know in the section looking at each other play quiet on the creek baby
Starting point is 01:16:12 because then that's the way to get them to move. That's the way to get them to move. Yup. They're going to stay in them on left tips and they're going, yep. I don't come to back. I know that's killing in the gay clubs, right? I want to create?
Starting point is 01:16:24 Yeah. And it's been killing in the Lacken to me. Why he said right and look at me like, I'll be DJing them. You're very selective of what you DJ now, so I know that you, I know what you be. I know where you be.
Starting point is 01:16:35 They said you'd be there too. You was happy in our TikTok. You were crazy. You was having a great. Our TikTok that we did with Saucy Cincinnati. When you were bouncing them to you? Yeah, when you was crying on the creed, you was bouncing your whole body.
Starting point is 01:16:45 You put your whole back into it. You put your whole back into it. You could do it. your back into it, all right? Okay. Yes. Well, that was the... You're meant to be a girl.
Starting point is 01:16:53 I just want to let you know your thighs, you're thick, where you dance. The eyebrows. The eyebrows. You're going to tell me I'm meant to be a girl. I was going to be a girl. Oh, my God. I was born a man.
Starting point is 01:17:02 I'm a tire man. Okay, I identify as a man. Don't tell God I was making you something. He didn't make me. That's right. That kind of crazy that statement was that. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 01:17:14 That was crazy. Uh-huh. All right. All right. You're going to die, man. How are you going to tell God he made a mistake? That's right! I know that's right.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Yes. That's right. It's the latest. That was the latest for the hour, yes. And coming up in the next latest, Ray J might be homeless, so we're going to talk about it. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:17:36 He just gave his life to Christ. He was just up here, looking good. He's slimmed down. He just put his seatbelt on. With Brandy told him put the seat bottle on. He just won some money from the fight, and now we... Girl.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Yeah, we'll get into it. We'll get into it. We give you a donkey. Man, four after the hour. Let's talk about abuse of power. There's a police officer in Florida who needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him, please. All right.
Starting point is 01:17:56 We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Make sure you tell him to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Florida man is arrested after deputy's day. He rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocate his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day when Shalaman the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get you all that. It's not me. It's Florida Duvall.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Okay, donkey today from Wednesday, August 19th, is going to a Florida police officer named Christopher Goodson. And he is not a good son at all. Okay, first off, what does your uncle Shala always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And today is no exception. See, Christopher faces two. criminal charges after an investigation found evidence that he's a world-class stalker. Okay, as a father of four daughters, I pray that none of my babies ever meet a man who can't let go.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Because I'm a shoot him. I'll get him shot. Okay, see, Christopher Goodson was abusing his power as a police officer, and he was using flock cameras to track his estranged ex-wife while on and off duty. Okay, you have to hear this story to believe it. Let's go to 10 Tampa Bay News for the report, please. Deny to Haynes City police officers facing charges after investigators say he misused flop cameras to track his estranged wife. Court documents say Officer Christopher Goodson search for his wife's license plate 717 times on the flock camera system between September 24 and June of this year. Investigators say there was no criminal investigation involving his estranged wife or her vehicle.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Goodson is charged with computer-related offenses and official misconduct. He was placed on administrative leave while the department investigated. Haines City police say he is expected to resign and was not fired by the department. Hain City Police Chief Isaac Jackson released a statement here about the investigation saying in part, quote, the Haines City Police Department does not tolerate the misuse, unauthorized access, or personal use of any investigative databases or law enforcement information systems. These resources are provided for legitimate official purposes only and must be used. responsibly. Christopher, you put your ex-wife's license plate number
Starting point is 01:20:22 into the flock database 717 times in the span of almost two years. There's only 365 days in a year. Okay, 365 times 2 is 730. That means you were searching this woman's license plate number every day. Sometimes a few times a day, sir. Okay, that's your ex-wife. And if she left you, all you are doing right now is proven that she made the right decision. Okay, this is why I try.
Starting point is 01:20:47 not to blame technology for problems because technology doesn't abuse power. People abuse power through technology. And Christopher Goodson is a perfect example of what happens when somebody's personal obsession gets access to institutional power. Okay. This man used flock license plate reading cameras that track his estranged wife's vehicle 717 times. Damn. Sir, you are not checking on her. You have turned heartbreak into a surveillance operation. Okay, you can't keep those kinds of tabs on that. Boom, boom, boom. It's over.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Okay, time to move on now. All right, Christopher reportedly told his supervisor that he was tracking the vehicle because he wanted to know where his kids were when they were with their mother. You can't just ask her and take her word for it. Okay, I don't know how old the kids are, but you can't just talk to the kids and ask them where they were today with their mother. Like, this is completely unnecessary because investigators say his estranged wife, as you just heard in the news report, wasn't involved in any criminal investigators. her vehicle wasn't connected to a crime and according to the affidavit Christopher allegedly entered reasons
Starting point is 01:21:52 for the searches including road rage reckless driving drugs, theft, fleeing police and assault and battery offenses. He painted this woman as a city girl all because she was apparently somewhere he didn't know about and that's what bothers me about
Starting point is 01:22:08 this story. This man made this woman something she wasn't because he couldn't let go. Abuse of power okay? This isn't simply about a man who couldn't let go of as a strange wife. This is about what happens when somebody who can't let go has access to tools the rest of us don't have.
Starting point is 01:22:24 See, regular toxic people, they stocked through Instagram, okay, regular toxic people, they watch stories from burner accounts. Regular toxic people have to drive past the house, pretending they were just in the neighborhood, okay? But an allegedly toxic police officer can potentially sit down
Starting point is 01:22:39 with government technology and ruin your day. Okay? Rewen your life if you wanted to. That's a different level of toxic. Okay. And that's why you can't have these hurt, petty people in positions of power. Okay. America has people in positions of power who are weaponizing these agencies,
Starting point is 01:22:59 these institutions, this technology against everyday people who are just trying to live their life. And the real test of a system isn't whether good people can use it responsibly. The real test is how difficult this system makes it for a bad actor like Christopher Goodson to abuse it. Okay. We know fly cameras can be. absolutely useful. They read license plates and they help law enforcement locate vehicles connected to crimes and missing people and suspects, but you do have a bunch of officers abusing them, okay? There have been a growing series of allegations involving law enforcement officers
Starting point is 01:23:32 misusing the license plate reader systems for personal reasons. I read a report that says more than 50 officers nationwide have been accused of misusing flock are similar systems and flock has announced strongest safeguards including mandatory case numbers and automated review designed to flag abnormal searches that tells you everything you need to know when the company that built the surveillance technology starts you know uh scrimfening safeguards because people keep allegedly abusing the surveillance technology that lets you know what the problem is okay but let's talk about christopher for a minute let's talk about christopher for a minute because this is the teachable moment when somebody decides to leave your life you have to let them
Starting point is 01:24:13 leaf okay a badge can give you access to information but it cannot give you access to a person who no longer wants you in their life are poom-pum okay sometimes the hardest form of discipline isn't holding on it's accepting that it's over okay learn how to let people go rejection doesn't become less of a rejection just because you refuse to accept it and when you use your power your position or technology to keep tabs on somebody who has already chosen distance that's not love that's entitlement okay you're not fighting for the relationship anymore you're fighting against somebody else's right to be done technology doesn't create obsession it gives obsession better tools that's why people entrusted with surveillance technology and and power have to be
Starting point is 01:25:00 held to an incredibly high standard okay the scary part isn't simply that somebody allegedly couldn't let go it's that he allegedly had a system available that could turn his inability to let go into the ability to hold on and keep watching. Please give Christopher Goodson the sweet sounds and the hamletones. You are the donkey. You are the donkey.
Starting point is 01:25:37 He-ho. It's original right there, right? That's the new one. No, that's original. That's the original one. All I think of is, man, how you would have ruined Rome's life with that type of technology back in the day.
Starting point is 01:25:47 Oh, you're damn right. Especially back in a day. You already know. absolutely when when special agents use that stuff because remember on power
Starting point is 01:25:56 Angela Valdez and special agent Greg Knox did that too yeah she cloned ghost phone and you know what I mean and she ended up getting out some trouble
Starting point is 01:26:04 you see what I'm saying yep yep and if ghosts went down she's gonna go down all for penis all for yeah exactly and he did it for Pong does everything go back to
Starting point is 01:26:12 Power Power raising gain in it power yes it's life envy it's life you learn some good life lessons from the power
Starting point is 01:26:19 You know. Yes, you do. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, ma'am. Now, when we come back, Dr. Chuck Morris will be joining us. He has a new book, Stress, our human superpower, the miseducation of stress. That's the guy who'll be training y'all, right? Yes.
Starting point is 01:26:31 That man got one of the biggest heads I've ever seen. If you don't shut up and get out of here. It's all right. It's the breakfast slow. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious.
Starting point is 01:26:41 Sholameen the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. He's got to book out the miseducation of stress, our human superpower. Mr. Chuck Morris. Yes, sir. Let's go, let's go. Good to be here.
Starting point is 01:26:53 Is that your real name? It is. You're asking that every time. I don't talk to him. My government name is Charles Morris. Charles Morris. That's my government. My government name is Charles Morris.
Starting point is 01:27:02 It's been Chuck. Gotcha. People have been calling you Chuck Norris, too. Because remember Envy was calling you Chuck Norris. For two years, he was saying that. Yeah, he did. It was getting weird. He got awkward.
Starting point is 01:27:11 Do you know any martial arts? Yes, but I don't tell people that. It continues to populate the theory. Got you, got you. So, yeah. We're into it, though. I love the personal messages that you put in the book for us. Oh, well, I'm real.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Yeah. Oh, no, absolutely. Yeah. Because most people would just sign it. No, I want to do that. So, well, mine sucks about just the pressure of things. And you say that on the book, it says that stress is our human superpower. So explain how if we're pressured and we're feeling under, you know, the midst of all the things.
Starting point is 01:27:41 Why would stress be helpful? Stress is like, it doesn't feel helpful. And that's, Lauren, I'm glad you started there. That's exactly the issue. And that's why we say it's the miseducation. Stress is technically the mechanism in our body that helps us perform. It's literally your high performance system. But because we don't understand it, we get taught that it's this bad thing that we have to fight against or don't let it happen.
Starting point is 01:28:04 But in essence, when you're in your flow state, that's a stress response. Wow. People have been using flow state a lot lately. Yeah, it's a stress response. So is that why people say things like, well, I operate better under stress or under pressure, not under stress, people say pressure, but pressure is stress. It equates the stress. Exactly. So the way that
Starting point is 01:28:23 the design of us is, can't be denied, it's beautiful. And this is what I tell people, I say, I love, now, I'm not an MD, I'm a scientist. So I stay away from psychology, medicine, all that. So we focus on human performance in just research and studies, right?
Starting point is 01:28:40 People say all the time that it's because I'm stressed is why I'm having this response. It's because I'm stressed that I don't know how to do something. And then they do what I think is healthy, which is counseling and coaching, which I think is beautiful. Counseling and coaching in my mind, that's being taught how to open and shut the door of stress.
Starting point is 01:29:00 How do I open and close the door? That's what counseling and prayer meditation is, in my opinion. What we're talking about here is exactly how the nervous system is designed. Well, we're trying to open and shut the door that's actually off the hinges. Because we're under chronic stress, our systems are turned all the way up. up into hyper danger so the door isn't even on the hinges. So why I say stress is your superpowers because this is the thing that helps you be great. The problem isn't stress is us understanding how it works.
Starting point is 01:29:30 How do we command it? Yeah, because you want to keep, you don't, you don't really want to stress, right? Because long term exposure to stress, you know, can cause damage. Like, you know, your cortisol levels will be high. That can severely harm your body. It raises your blood pressure, causes inflammation. That can lead the heart attacks and all types. and stuff like you don't really want the stress but I see but I you wrote in the book
Starting point is 01:29:52 here you quote stress is not the enemy losing con losing control of the stress response is and and to both of your point we get taught grind I used to get it about seven get it before you get about four you get about four we'll get it back three and it's go go go go go go go and the reality of it is is we do go and the capability to go is a stress response the challenge is we don't know how to turn it down regulated. So we don't understand, we don't know how to regulate.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Think of it like a manual car. And I'm always in one gear and I don't know how to shift gears. Well, the point of the book is to help people understand, one, it's not a personal issue. It's not a character flaw. It isn't a discipline issue.
Starting point is 01:30:31 Let's deal with just how we're wired. If we just deal with the actual wiring of the software, that helps empower a person and say, oh, wait a minute. So I can control this. In our space, in the longevity, wellness space,
Starting point is 01:30:44 breathwork, or whatever you want to call, has turned into just calm down. How do I extract myself out of this, this tent situation to calm down and breathe to calm down? And in my own opinion, research and observation, it's doing us to harbor disjustice. Because breathing is the only way
Starting point is 01:31:02 that I can change my entire physiological state. And I don't need to breathe just to calm down. So inside of the book, you're gonna have all these different breathing techniques to help trigger your stress response, which is your high performance mechanism. So this book helps you to regulate your stress. Regulate.
Starting point is 01:31:18 Got you, got you. Own it, master. So you could do a breathing technique that increases your cognitive process. It's a breathing technique. Because I was thinking when you're stressed, like I feel like under stress, I used to think I made the best decisions under stress. But as I get older and the decisions matter more, I don't know if I feel that way anymore.
Starting point is 01:31:37 But you say in the book that you got to reroute the way that your brain deals with judgment in stress. Yes. But things be so chaotic when you stress. or they feel like that. So how are we rerouting that? That is literally crazy. Why are you asking that? I'm reading the shit.
Starting point is 01:31:51 And it literally speaks to what you're saying. When regulation is lost, the decision-making degrees. You're probably looking at the same page. Yeah, I literally just said. I don't know the same words. No, no. I know what you made, though. It shocked you because I'll just open it up to that page.
Starting point is 01:32:06 That's crazy. No, I'm going off of what she said about her life. Like, not what she read. What she said to you was how, when it was, when she was younger, she would make better decisions, but as she got older, like, it became chaotic and hard to make decisions. And that's what I mean, I was reading that. Because it be like, now, I'm making decisions now. I'm like, hmm, this is like, is that right? Or it was. But it's just like your adult
Starting point is 01:32:31 life, like the decisions matter a lot more. Or you feel like they do because it's big girl decisions now. Now, if you, if you allow me to present for your consideration, I present for your consideration. The reality of the moment is the same. the relevance is the same. You're interpreting it or we interpret it differently. Here's what I mean by that. If, just,
Starting point is 01:32:54 I'll use Charlemagne, just he's about to go on stage. He's going to do a talk and his people's dilate. He begins to sweat a little bit. His hands, feel a little something in his stomach and his body's doing something. And let's say Robert, some random person.
Starting point is 01:33:08 Robert's having the same experience. And Robert has decided that that is a problem. He needs to take medication because he always has an issue before he goes on to do something important. The difference becomes in that same physical, actual reality, Charlemagne understands that, no, my pupils dialysis so I can see better and block out the side vision. My stomach is acting up because it's getting anything out of my stomach out of the way
Starting point is 01:33:32 because my system saying we don't need that. My heart rate is increasing to increase the blood and oxygen into my brain so I can make sure I remember everything. Two same exact things are happening, but we're interpreting them differently. He's just not panicking because he's understanding what's happening. No, I agree. Now I understand what you're saying because I do have panic attacks, right? But in a moment like that, I would expect to feel some level of what I call good anxiety.
Starting point is 01:33:58 Because I know I'm about to go out in front of these people. What I'm about to do actually mean something to me that there is going to be a level of anxiousness. Whether you want to go out there and just, you know, do a good job. You're like, oh, let me go out there and hurry to get this over with, whatever it is. But I think the other person, the panic attack is when you, you know, it's irrational feet. You know what I mean? Like I'm gonna walk out there and somebody gonna stand up in the crowd and shoot me.
Starting point is 01:34:17 And that starts, that extreme starts way back. It starts way back and it starts when I'm younger because I never was taught how to process all the little micro things that I went through. That's right. So I started creating these frameworks and these belief systems that now when I get older, everything is hyper.
Starting point is 01:34:35 Or you didn't know what it was when you was younger. Like I had been dealing with panic attacks since I was a child but I didn't know that that's what it was. But then when I talked to my father or other people in my family who had those same experiences and they were going to therapy and they were on medication. I'm like, well, goddamn, why hell ain't you talking?
Starting point is 01:34:50 You're going to tell me. And I would know what I'm dealing with. What took me into this? So, again, the purpose of the book and a lot of people push back, never clients, but the industry pushed back on. I've been known this full time 30 years. But 24 years ago is when this book started.
Starting point is 01:35:05 And I was so, I had so much chronic stress built up in my body, chronic stress. I was a high performer, blah, blah, blah, blah, all of that. healthy as anybody that knew me I was the healthiest person that they knew I thought I had pink eye took the drops high pain tolerance three days later because I got misdiagnosed it wasn't pink eye
Starting point is 01:35:25 three days later I'm in soft jersey eye surgeons they're like hey we're going to cut this eye out hey this was coming out not an option and you're going to lose 80% of the vision in this one hands down no discussion and we need you to calm down to stop physically fighting us because I was in so much pain it was as if they had clawed squeezing my eyes and running down my nervous system. I literally contracted ulcers from stress. What?
Starting point is 01:35:51 Not in my stomach in my corneous. When God allowed me to get healed from that, that's what started this. You had, hold on now. You had ulcers in your cornea? Ours across my corneas in the family physician misdiagnosed it as pink eye. I got to Google this because I ain't heard of such. In the title, you say stress is a superpower, right?
Starting point is 01:36:13 But most people look at it is something that they want to eliminate. Yeah. What are you, what exactly are you like trying to correct about that? Like, because it's miseducation of stress. What, I know it's not just one thing, but like, what is like a key thing you want to correct? Like, yeah. For me, one of the, one of the biggest things I'm trying to correct is that you are not less than. And you can't control it.
Starting point is 01:36:37 That's right. Like, that's what I really want people to understand. Like, you can't control it. And that's why the book doesn't say take control, says take command. Command is actually dispersing and giving out orders as opposed to trying to contain it. No, no, I want to direct it because I can't control it. So for me, that's the biggest thing to help people understand that there's nothing wrong with you. And you don't get to stop this.
Starting point is 01:37:00 You don't get to stop it. And the last part of it is to understand that it's amazing. I like that. You can't control it. You can only command it because you don't know when it happens. Like it could be the most random thing. You'd be like, okay. I did that yesterday.
Starting point is 01:37:12 Yeah. Yesterday, I'm at dinner. It was just me and my homie and we were talking. And we literally was one of those conversations that lasted like an hour and some change, right? Hour and a half, you know, you're just getting lost in the conversation. And at some point, man, I just looked around and was like,
Starting point is 01:37:26 all right, it's time to go. I'm getting paranoid. Because I just started feeling myself getting anxious for no reason. And so I was like, but I knew it's time to go. And you knew all of those people though. I was just in a restaurant. I had been sitting there fine for hour and a half.
Starting point is 01:37:40 There was nothing that changed. I just, it was just one of them things. It was just like, random, you know, panic attack starting to setting. Like, you know what? Y, I'm about this. And I told him, like, yo, time to go, man. But start your paranoid for no reason. But sometimes stuff like that, people would say, well, what if that was like your intuition telling you?
Starting point is 01:37:55 Might have been, maybe. But he's always like that. Yeah, but like, how do you defer to two where it's like, nah, this is my inner voice really telling me, no, you need to leave. Something's wrong. Or. I didn't say that it was wrong, though. Or like. I just knew that my anxiety was setting in and I was feeling what I feel.
Starting point is 01:38:11 and so it's just time for me to leave. Like you said, you can't control it, you can just command it. You know what I mean? So I took command. Like, you know what? I'm about to be out. Because if I stay here any long,
Starting point is 01:38:21 I'm going to have a random panic attack for no goddamn reason. So that's education, pardon me, that's education and history. We literally have, when we talk about intuition, and I don't,
Starting point is 01:38:32 I stick with, I don't tell anybody, I don't try to push what I believe in anybody else. I stick with science, technology and biology because we can argue about that forever. With that being said,
Starting point is 01:38:41 inside your stomach, inside of our stomach, we have sensors that actually can identify and feel vibrations. Like this is, like, you ever say, oh, I felt something to, I don't know, I felt something in my stomach. That's not in your head most times. You mean Lauren Shrallin the whole time? You didn't know who was a chicken sandwich over there because I felt like. You know, I've been like you rock with it.
Starting point is 01:39:03 It was me. It's usually you. So the camera's shaking. No, I had some oatmeal before you came in because it do be me, though. So you feel it in your stomach. You literally feel that in your stomach. And that's because from you, there's a frequency, there's a micro frequency literally vibrating off of you. And when minds hit yours, and if there's something really off with you, it could be because of how my own trauma.
Starting point is 01:39:28 So I feel it because it's happening, but how I interpret it is based on what's going on. Right. So that's, you know, when you say, well, how do you know which one it is? Yeah. You don't really know. You just got to figure out what the next command is. while that's happening, what's the command I need to give? And, Doc, this is my last question.
Starting point is 01:39:45 You coached everybody from, you know, all types of athletes, fighters, NFL players, you know, to stay home parents, right? Whatever, everybody from everywhere, right? What is the biggest myth that both, that people on both ends of that spectrum believe about their body? I think the biggest myth that they both, I used to think when we were super poor. that I just needed money and I was going to change my life. Then I realized that wasn't it. Nope. Because then I felt my first three multimillion years that cried themselves to sleep.
Starting point is 01:40:21 So I think the biggest myth that goes across that entire spectrum is the belief that as that aging and decaying is the same thing. And I've been fighting that for 18 years with people. They think aging and decaying is the same thing and it is not. No way. I get what you saying. It is not. And the fight that truth with people is, that's the work. Okay.
Starting point is 01:40:48 That was my last question. Listen, Chuck Morris, the miseducation of stress, our human superpower. It's available everywhere you get books right now? Yes, yes, yes.

I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.
Starting point is 01:42:00 I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people. And they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself.
Starting point is 01:42:26 So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your. podcasts.

This is Prose Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots
Starting point is 01:43:00 between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, then that is a Trojan horse. Whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place.
Starting point is 01:43:31 Listen to pro society on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. See you between the pages. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unethical. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.
Starting point is 01:44:12 I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast. or wherever you get your podcasts.

Now shifting. I'm walking commercial. Commercial. Walking bank. If you want to sell if you want to help Chene's celebrating
Starting point is 01:45:56 his anniversary. That's right. Walking Thames. That's right. All right. Shifting gears a bit. Now, Ray J is trolling again. All right. Now, you're sure? I am sure, and I'll get into it. So there's a video going by right now of Ray J talking about being homeless.
Starting point is 01:46:12 Shout out to my home girl, Shirley Jew. She has a interview series that she does. And she sat down with Ray J. No, she's not. Her last name is J.U. Oh, okay. No, she's not old. No, she's not old.
Starting point is 01:46:24 I think she might be Asian. Oh, okay, okay. Anyway, yeah, she sat down with Ray J. Let's take a listen to Ray Jay talking about being homeless. And I just got an apartment. My homies own the business. But they just gave me an apartment to live in because I've been living in the car. Have you really?
Starting point is 01:46:39 Yeah. Why? It was comfortable. Was it the Maybach? It was. Oh man. Now before this clip, Ray J is talking about all these, the dumbest bag he's ever spent. He says he bought a bunch of May bags, one for him, one for Princess, whatever.
Starting point is 01:46:53 And people just act like, you know, people with money know how to spend it and people without money act like they ain't never had any, you could tell the difference. This clip, though, that small part of it is going viral. And I was like, I watched it and I'm like, why is Ray J trolling again? He came here. And he was settled, reformed and refreshed. Yes. Now, for context, I did find out the timeline of this. So this interview was actually before the fight and it was before he came here to
Starting point is 01:47:17 the breakfast club. They smoking a little bit. So maybe he was just back on what Ray J. be doing. Ray J is just doing his best, okay? What he got. That's all. He's just doing his best. He is not homeless, though, guys.
Starting point is 01:47:29 Ray J is okay. Well, good. The hell? Yes. All right. Now, we're going to shift gears a bit. We're going to take it down to Atlanta because Earn Your Leisure.
Starting point is 01:47:38 There was a clip that went viral of Rashad from Earn Your Leisure. The people were pretty upset about it. It was him having a conversation about black people in Earn Your Leisure. We're still talking about this? I thought we were fastest. The only reason why we're still talking about this
Starting point is 01:47:49 is because Rashad had to recently come as of yesterday. Monday? What's the day? Wednesday? Rashad had to come back online earlier this week and apologize to the people that support Earn Your Leisure
Starting point is 01:48:02 in a Vest Fest. So that is new, but I want to explain why he even had to apologize first. Let's take a listen to Rashad talking about criticizing black people. There's no event in the world like that. But I'm not even on the black thing no more. I never was on a black event because I've seen somebody else that said that like it was white people. Yeah, they're qualified to be there. What you mean?
Starting point is 01:48:22 You think I'm a catered just to black people just to get torn down by black people? You ought to be a fucking mind. It's going to be even more white people next year and Spanish and the Filipinos. Of course. Like, I'm done. I'm done. It's been real. Y'all, yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:34 Well, y'all, for what? The only thing you're going to do is criticize and tear it down and not pay and want to get it for free anyway. Oh, sure. And black people. We can't find out black, back to them black people. No, I'm never. What I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:48:46 It's all inclusive. Now, this was after they were getting a lot of flat for the stuff with the mayor. Then it was like stuff going viral. Like, they were like, these are all the scammers that have spoke at him best, and they were getting a lot of things online thrown their way. I get what he's saying. It was up for them against whatever people online that wanted to be upset. He did use their market Mondays, which is an online thing that they do with stock market and investing that they've been doing.
Starting point is 01:49:08 But they did a public address during that because people were upset about those comments he just made. Let's take a listen to Rashad apologizing. The accountability is this. No matter how much hate we get, I know that the love is 10 times more. And that's my fault for focusing on negativity over positivity. So how it came out from the clip, very insensitive. And I know that it could be hurtful to somebody that's like, damn. I've been riding with you out from the beginning.
Starting point is 01:49:34 And how could you say this? So I understand how people could have taken that. And I really do want to say that if I hurt you in that commentary, I truly am sorry for that because that wasn't what it was for. And that's not who is directed to. That's something that I should do a better job of focusing on the love. But like I said, it just hit a little different. It's a little different because we didn't raise money.
Starting point is 01:49:56 So everything that we put is on the line. You're going to fight a little different for your when it's your child. But it hurts even more when you see. see black people do it. And I understand that too. I understand that. Rashad is a great brother, very intelligent black man and he means well, but he's human and you know, sometimes humans, you know, say things that they feel like they got to take
Starting point is 01:50:15 back. Exactly. Imagine like so, so many of your people just coming at you and all you doing is trying to educate people on financial literacy and help make better, you know, decisions financially for your family or whatever. But shout out to Troy. Yeah. He stepped out.
Starting point is 01:50:31 He came to Planet Hollywood. And he and his wife make sure I got home safe. I was drinking. You was out of last night. I was outside, baby. That's crazy. I'd be all trying to get you outside and be late.
Starting point is 01:50:41 I got to call 50 to get you outside. Yes, you did. Okay, all right. I also want to add, Rashad clearly was speaking out of frustration. And you just said, Jess, and I'm going to say the same thing just in a different way.
Starting point is 01:50:52 When these niggas be niggin, it can be upsetting. Okay? But you have to focus on the people who love you and not the ones who don't. Absolutely. Because you had 30. thousand people at Invest Fest. The biggest year yet. The majority of them was
Starting point is 01:51:05 black people and they were out there showing love. That's what you focus on. That's right. Even the ones that snuck in and didn't pay, they're coming to be fed. Like, yo, look, I need this information. I ain't got no money. I'm trying to make some. So I had to sneak in. That social media minority, that worldwide
Starting point is 01:51:21 nigger net, them two or three people that just won't stop posting. Oh, no, no, no. I won't stop doing videos. It's a lot more to two three. Well, whatever. It could be two, 300. Yeah. You still had 30,000 at it. attention to it. You know what? Like, it don't matter.
Starting point is 01:51:33 Like, that's the game. I always tell people about the rule of ten. I know. The rule of ten is three people are going to like it. Three people are not going to like it. Four people don't even know what the hell going on. Damn, that's what it is. That's he said that.
Starting point is 01:51:43 He screams that all the time. I know, but I was trying to act like I made it up. I told somebody I was talking to my son and I just messed it all. What you said to you in it made me? God, I don't even remember. But now he just jogging my memory like, dang, that's what it was. It's the rule of my man, Cadillac Jack. Drop with my man, Cadillac Jack.
Starting point is 01:51:59 He gave me that jewel 13, 14 years ago. That's stuck with me, Mom. Oh, damn, that's not even yours. That's my man, he told me. He called me in the office and he said, you used to be the program director, he said, you need to remember this especially. The rule of tent.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Three people are going to like it. Three people are not going to like it. Four people don't even know what the hell is going on. Okay, all right. That's the reality of life. You see what I'm saying? Four people don't even know you. If you're going to give a damn about what you're doing in life.
Starting point is 01:52:26 If you minus 0.5, that's only $2.5 a person anyway. You're from Baltimore. We don't need 0.5? I messed it up so bad. All right. That is the latest, guys. It's brought to you by Top Dog Law. They have won over a billion dollars for their clients.
Starting point is 01:52:38 So if you get into an accident, make the call. Top Dog Law, their bark is their bites. Happy birthday. Romeo's birthday. It's my brother's birthday. It's my brother's birthday. Dropping a clues bonds from Romeo, man. Happy birthday.

Yo, he got, like, yo. He was gunned down. Walk down in the church and gunned down. He shot him in the church? Yep. Oh, you're going to hell. Shot him three times in his chest. Mm-hmm.
