Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
Starting point is 00:00:19 As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

Watching Jay perform reasonable doubt. Okay. That's why I got to get home. What you mean? Let's wrap this up. I need to nap. Yo, the show until 8 o'clock tonight. But, you know, when you're a certain age, I was born in 1977. There's a certain part of the day. I got to get a naping.
Starting point is 00:03:10 If I don't get a naping, I turn into a pumpkin after 9.30. Oh, man. I didn't go front. I did everything I had to do today yesterday. So I could just, because it's going to be a long day. It's going to be a long night. I want to get there early. I don't want to go out to the crowd.

Starting point is 00:04:05 Okay. Because she don't know where. She's going to be like, what's song you say? What he just said? Who's that just came out with him? I don't want to do that. Sit behind me, sit behind me and let Unx have a night tonight. That's it.
Starting point is 00:04:15 That's all. That's all. That's all right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Michael Rubin will be joining us this morning. Hey. Yeah, you got Fanatics Fest takes place, what, July 16th to the night? July 16 through the night.
Starting point is 00:04:25 The New York City. They're calling Michael Ruin the New Ditty, man. What? There ain't nobody calling a man that. You call him that. But no, because of the white party. Okay. I see it on social media.
Starting point is 00:04:38 They call him the New Ditty because he's the guy with the white party now. He's been having parties every year before, right? I didn't see that. I'm telling you, man. You got to leave people alone. That's not what you're calling him. But yeah, he has fanatics. That's where he brings everybody from the entertainment world in one building.
Starting point is 00:04:54 So it'll be people like the Knicks will be there. Tom Brady will be there. LeBron James will be there. Jok will be there. Kevin Hart will be there filming. He got a lot going on where you could actually go in there. The Little Wains, the Cowards, the Holes. Travis, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:09 So there's a lot going on at the Java Center. So we'll talk to him about all that. But let's get the show cracking. Of course, we got front page news. And you can get it off your chest, 800585.15.1. What are we starting on this whole Friday? Oh, yes. Why not, baby?
Starting point is 00:05:22 Oh, you know this one. Okay, okay. Of course. Just making sure. Just making sure. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. I am not deaf.
Starting point is 00:05:33 So I don't understand sign language. So I don't know what our producer was saying just that. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Charlamagne de Guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Mimi's coming down the hall. Okay. Well, let's start off with sports. Yesterday, France beat Morocco 2.0. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You, people. We did a wise party yesterday.
Starting point is 00:05:57 It was a lot of Morocco in the building. And boy, were they upset. Really? Yeah, they were, I mean, highly upset. But, France, it was a great game. You know what I thought was funny how you tried not to look French yesterday? Like, you know, on the flyer, he had on the French color. He was trying to look like Tony Parker.
Starting point is 00:06:12 But then yesterday he had on a USA jersey. Oh, my goodness. You know what I'm saying? He tried to look like a citizen. Well, Mimi's running a little late, so we'll start. No, she's not Mimi right there. Oh. Good morning, Mimi, right here.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Right, but we still want to end, we were stolen for two minutes. We were not stalling. We were doing sports. Yeah, all right. Anyway. What's up, Emily? Where's Mitch McConnell, maybe?
Starting point is 00:06:33 I have no idea. That's the question of the hour. Where is Mitch McConnell? I think that's the question that everyone is asking. So this all started because Mitch McConnell has been M.I.A. since June 14th, right? So he is. If he was alive, if he was alive,
Starting point is 00:06:53 If he was in the condition to, you know, be able to serve, I personally feel like they would have shown us that already. Well, they said he passed away at first, right? And then they took it back and said he didn't pass away, right? I don't remember that. Damn. They just said somebody died? Or was there somebody else?
Starting point is 00:07:06 He was another old white guy that they said died. I can't remember. Sorry, but go ahead. So, Mr. McConnell is 84 years old. Yes. He has not been seen since June 14th. He suffered a cardiac arrest, right? He suffered cardiac arrest.
Starting point is 00:07:18 He absolutely suffered cardiac arrest. And so people are just, they're saying that if he is alive and he is alive and well, please show yourself, sir. Yeah. So they want to know if he can continue serving. They want to know if he can continue serving. So there was a 911 call that went out saying that he had a cardiac arrest, and so I think we have that. Not that great communications.
Starting point is 00:07:42 He's farming a supervisor. TPR on progress. Okay. MS to respond for cardiac arrest. he probably would have died because I don't understand what the hell she was saying if I was denying when I brought out, I'd be like, what the hell did you just say? What's going on over there? What's the emergency now?
Starting point is 00:08:08 So the 84-year-old has not been seen publicly. Again, I said since June 14th, he has not released a statement. He has not appeared on camera. He's not been photographed. And his office said he's continuing to recover and is working with his staff as the Senate is out of session. but this week Kentucky Governor Andy Bashir, he basically is demanding answers in saying that Kentuckyans, they deserve to know where Mitch McConnell is if he's healthy and if he's going to continue serving in the U.S. Senate. Now, if he can't run or if his seat is vacant before his term ends in January, it could reshape Kentucky politics because unlike most states, Kentucky's governors, they simply can't appoint somebody else. They have to do a special election.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And so this is why timing matters. So because the seat, if the seat is vacant before August 3rd, Kentucky would likely hold a special election, possibly the same time as the November election to choose someone else to serve. But if the seat becomes vacant after August 3rd, there likely would not be enough time to hold that special election before Congress begins in January. So that means the seat could remain vacant for the rest of McConnell's term. Now, here's where it gets kind of tricky. guess who's up to run for that seat or who could run for that seat Thomas Matthew, right? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:25 And so there's this rumor in the background that Republicans don't want Thomas Massey. When I say Thomas Massey, I mean Jeffrey Epstein files. I know who Thomas Massey is, me. Don't, what? I know who Tom is. So anyway, so they're asking, you know, just for Mitch McConnell right now to show himself, give them some sense of life, something, because he just hasn't been seen.
Starting point is 00:09:50 or heard from since June 14. And when you hear about people complaining about folks being too old to serve, this is the reason why. It's not age shaming. Like, death shouldn't be the reason a person can no longer serve. He's clearly not in any condition to serve
Starting point is 00:10:05 because we haven't heard from him. If you were in condition to serve, we would have heard from him. There would be some type of, you know, sign of life that you can still do your job. But if you're in this condition, you should not be in the position that he is still currently in.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah, or, you know, we just don't know. Like, say hi, pop up somewhere. Somewhere. But why hide that? Like, what, I mean, like, what's, what's the worst that could happen? Like, it's life. If something is happening to you, you know, you're just getting older and you can't function
Starting point is 00:10:29 like you used to. What is the point? It's power. It's power. Absolutely. And really quickly, another major move from the Trump administration this morning. So President Trump has removed the remaining members of the bipartisan federal commission that helps run state elections.
Starting point is 00:10:44 So two Democratic commissioners, they were fired by email while the last Republican member resigned. The commission does not, they don't count votes, they don't decide election winners, but what they do is they certify elections, they look at election equipment,
Starting point is 00:11:03 they, yeah, they certify election equipment, help election standards, and provide guidance to election officials across the country. So the White House, though, they haven't given a reason as to why they fired these individuals, and it's still unclear who will replace the commissioners or what happens next. But
Starting point is 00:11:18 And you hear things like that. If you think the midterms are going to be free and fair, you are on the highest grade of fried cocaine. The streets can off the way. Okay. Yes. So that just happened yesterday. So we'll fire them out of no reason.
Starting point is 00:11:32 So we'll see what. We know the reason. I mean, according to. Because he wants to manipulate the midterms. Yes. Yes. Perhaps you're right. But, you know, it just says right now there is no reason.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And we will continue to follow and find out why. And so, yeah. Well, you got like two months. more years left? Yeah. Something around there. All right. Yeah. Allegedly.
Starting point is 00:11:54 If you decided to leave. All right. Allegedly. Well, out is front page. Thank you. Absolutely.

Starting point is 00:25:16 mom and she's happily you know with Jonathan Major and stuff like that but She is not pregnant and yeah. You know what's crazy? With Megan clearing that up, even you saying that on the radio right now, there's still millions of people today that's going around saying she's pregnant. It's mostly the people on Facebook. You know people on Facebook, you can't tell them for real.
Starting point is 00:25:33 They're the older folks too. Oh my gosh. If they see it on Facebook, it is like, it's Bible. She is like America's niece. Yeah. 100% so I promise you. Yeah, so yeah, she's not pregnant and let her alone. I wish everybody got back to me first with the statement.
Starting point is 00:25:49 so I could have said that. I don't want to live the rest of my life, you know, scrolling, asking, is this real? Is this real? Yeah. You're going to have to. That's where you are right now. That's going to be.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I'm part of the great disconnect. I saw some AI of you. I was like, what is happening here? Absolutely. You did show me. Yeah. And it's funny because your brain, when you're looking at certain things
Starting point is 00:26:08 and it's you, your brain registers it like, you know, you feel the cortisol and you feel the fight or flight. I'm like, what that way? Where was I at? Right, right. But I even had your voice down to the teeth. Like, they did the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I didn't. played a volume for him because we were here. I'm happy for that though. I'm going to be honest with you. I blame everything on AI. Okay. Everything you hear that I've ever said in life has been AI. Oh, God. Show me. I need to see it. I'll show you, girls. The people was crazy. But that's the latest for the hour. All right. Now, again, Sholomane opens up his donkey on Friday. Shut up. You even had to say it like that. All you had to say is that I do donkey today on Friday and it's the people's donkey. Okay. So call up one 800 fathers.
Starting point is 00:26:49 5-105 and you can give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid, okay? That's right. We got front-page news next with me. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, everybody. It's D.E.J. N.V., Jess, Larry. Sholomey and the guy, we are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front-page news.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Now, let's start off with some sports. Now, yesterday, France beat Morocco 2-0. What a game. What an amazing game. Now, today, Spain plays Belgium at 3 in California. What? He just texted me the comedian name. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:17 That's crazy. He hasn't been up here. He hasn't been up here. He is. No, he is. Oh, he is. Okay. What's up, Mimi?
Starting point is 00:27:25 Good morning, everyone. So, okay, we're going to start this hour with a case, the Carmelo Anthony case. So earlier this week, there was a major development that we told you about. So we told you that Carmelow's new legal team, they filed for two motions, one asking for a new trial and the other asking for the judge on the case to step down. So we now know that the judge has denied that request. and he is not going to recuse himself. So under Texas law, that now, that issue now goes to a regional administrative judge who will now decide whether another judge should handle Anthony's motion for a new trial.
Starting point is 00:28:01 So there was this really thick document. It's about 60 pages plus. So I tried to go through it the best I can. And there was a few things that stood out to me that I wanted to talk to you guys about. So first, it says that the defense, no one ever acts for. for a gag order. So according to the motion, Judge Roach issued one on his own nearly a year before the trial. The defense says neither the prosecution nor the defense requested it and no one violated. But the defense also argues that much of what happened before the trial took place behind closed doors.
Starting point is 00:28:35 So they're saying that key hearings, they were held in the judge's chamber instead of open court. And important filings were hand delivered instead of being added to the public docket. So that was a way to kind of keep things. sneaky. Yes. Try to keep things so the public doesn't find out about it right. They were hand delivered. So the public basically had no idea of knowing what was going on. And then there was courtroom access. So the judge said that he limited the number of people allowed inside every day. He banned cameras. He banned live streams. And only
Starting point is 00:29:07 a small number of reporters could attend. And many of Anthony's own family members, I think they said his aunts and his uncles, they couldn't even get in. That's crazy. But he said that he said that he He did that to protect the integrity of the trial, the jurors, and the witnesses. But this may be the most significant part of going through it what I found. So the defense says that both sides made an off-the-record agreement before the trial to, quote, try the case clean. So in other words, neither side would introduce character evidence. So no one would testify that Carmelo Anthony was a good or bad kid and no one would testify that Austin Metcalf was a good or bad kid.
Starting point is 00:29:43 The jury would focus only on what happened inside that tent that day. why would they do that? Why would they do that? Why would his attorney agree to? Especially this is his first time day and any problems. Like all of that should be taken into consideration. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Right. It seemed like this was a set up from the start. Yeah. So the defense said that it built its entire strategy around that agreement. And so because of that, Anthony's lawyers, they chose not to call certain expert witnesses, including one who would have testified about his epilepsy and how that may have affected his perception of a threat. and others who would have explained the teenage brain development,
Starting point is 00:30:21 it's fighter, flight response. We never heard any of that, right? The defense also said that Anthony did, he was going to testify, but on the final day of evidence, prosecutors allegedly argued that the agreement would no longer be applied if he took the stand. So judge. So they blocked him from taking the stand?
Starting point is 00:30:40 He said that the agreement, the try the case clean, would no longer be viable if he, He took the stand. Oh, that's crazy. So Judge Roach ruled that he had no legal authority to make, to enforce that agreement because it was a handshake, basically. And so then Anthony, in that moment, was given 10 minutes to decide whether to testify or not to. He ultimately chose not to, and that changed everything because his entire defense was built around the expectation that he would testify under that agreement. So the judge, he decided not to recuse himself, of course, but he said that what the big thing is, he's now come out and said that after I told you all of those things,
Starting point is 00:31:21 he said that he got it right. I think we have the audio of him saying he got it right and he needed to defend his courtroom decisions. Did the jury get it right? Yeah, they did. You know why? Because they were picked based upon the law. They listened to the facts that happened here in this very courtroom.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And they got a verdict. I mean, it's such a tragic situation. I mean, Austin, Mexico. Calfe shouldn't be dead. Carmelo, you know, Anthony shouldn't be in prison. Like, temporary feelings led to permanent consequences
Starting point is 00:31:54 for both these young men who, I feel, weren't even old enough to develop proper conflict resolution skills. Like, I just feel like none of this should be happening. And I still don't think we actually got what really happened, right?
Starting point is 00:32:07 There was supposed to be videos of what happened. You know, there was, there should be, there's so many people there that we should know what happened. I mean, they still said he got jumped at one point,
Starting point is 00:32:16 then they said he didn't get jumped. Like, I would love to know what actually happened so we can properly make a decision. We never got a full story. I don't know the way this is going. If we'll get that information if this judge doesn't recuse himself, it just seems that he's
Starting point is 00:32:31 holding on to all the evidence in a way that, you know, he's trying to control it. And so it's been crump on this? Yes. Okay. So yes. So we did start helping out. Like he, okay. Someone from his law firm is on this case. That's good. So we just need
Starting point is 00:32:46 someone else to kind of be able to take step back and really just, you know, go through all the information. And speaking to needing somebody else, I just feel like when you have all those kids in that environment, like, you know, at a track meet, all gathered under a tent. Like, you need adults around. Like, you need some proper supervision in those environments.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Like, you know, nobody should feel comfortable even getting buck in those environments because they know that some adults are going to be around and check them. I just don't understand how this situation got to this point. Yeah. So the fact I know things happen fast, but damn. So the fact that the judge won't recuse himself, people are assuming he's, it's
Starting point is 00:33:18 things that he doesn't want out there. Right. There's things that he did behind the scenes to get the trial to where it got to, and he wants to hold on to that. I've been crump. You got to wreck your magic now. But don't when you don't recuse yourself, that stuff still comes out, because don't you have to submit something that, like, outlines the specific grounds for, like, why you want this judge
Starting point is 00:33:38 to be able? So that that's what basically is what I just read. And so now it'll go to a different judge who oversees the region. And that regional judge will look at every. thing I just said and say, hey, there is reasonable doubt or cause for you to step off of this case. So, what a tragic situation?
Starting point is 00:33:56 That's where we are, and we should know something by August. And let me ask you guys something. So, if you paid extra for a window seat and you got on the plane and realized that your window seat didn't actually have a window. Would you be mad? Yeah, what? That happens sometimes. That happens sometimes. When I'll happen? Depending on where your seat is, you might not get a full window. You might have to leave you back.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Oh, you'd be in the middle. Yeah. That happened sometime. People obviously don't like that because that's what's happening to some United passengers and a federal judge now says that they the lawsuit that they filed can move forward. So passengers say that they paid extra
Starting point is 00:34:31 for window seats but ended up sitting next to a wall instead. And United argued it's still a window seat. It's just a seat along a wall. Yo, that's crazy. I don't know why people want to sit in window seats anyway. Unless you, if you're flying by yourself, why? If you're with your family, I understand.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Because I'm a peer. So I can't sit in the window seat. I need to sit in the aisle because I need to be getting up and down to pee. Everybody do not a week blend. I don't want to say, excuse me, excuse me, asshole on you if somebody's face is you're trying to get five. And your ass is big.
Starting point is 00:34:59 You know, nice and thick. Thank you. Excuse me. I'm glad you. I'm glad you. I'm glad you noticed. I like to sit in a window seat because I like to put my, I do too.
Starting point is 00:35:08 I like to lay my head on the window. Yeah. Right. So that's a window. It's a window. I don't got to say pause. It's a lay my head on the window. There's no man named window.
Starting point is 00:35:16 It's a window. window on the side of a plane. I didn't, I didn't got to say pause. I didn't say anything, sir. You just looked at me. I didn't, that's crazy. That was a projection. Triggered.
Starting point is 00:35:24 That was wild just now. Yeah. That was crazy. Well, United says it's updated to seating selection and customers. They'll give them more information before they book. But passengers, they say that's not good enough. They want to sue. They want a federal judge to allow them to move forward.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And they want to turn this into a class action lawsuit on behalf of more than a million United Airlines Passengers. Yeah, so if you have paid for a window seat and it turned out to be a wall seat, if they're successful, the damages could turn out to be millions of dollars. Get your money. All right, y'all. Well, that is your front page news. There we have it.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Thank you, Mimi. Now, when we come back, we got the back hugger. No, I'm just joking. Michael Ruben will be. They're calling them the new deed. The backhugger is crazy. I'm just messing with him. Michael Rubin will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:36:12 His fanatic fest goes down July 16th to the 19th. We're going to talk to Mike Rubin next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV, Jess Hilarious. Shulamaine de Guy. We are the breakfast club.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Lon LaRose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. That's right. Have more celebrities at his party and tell us what's wedding, ladies and gentlemen. Michael Rubin. They're calling you the new ditty, Michael Rubin. What that mean?
Starting point is 00:36:34 What that means? Have you seen that on social media? I don't pay attention to that. They're like Michael Rimmis is the new ditty. You know, there's one thing I've learned. There's one thing I've learned. The harder you work, the better you do, the more people come for you.
Starting point is 00:36:47 It comes from territory. And you know what? I see that as I'm happy that we're doing well overall. It's all good. But they're saying that because of the white party. That's what. You're allowed to have a party. You're allowed to have fun.
Starting point is 00:36:58 It's 2026. We're allowed to have fun again. We're bringing fun back at 226. Did you really change the date of your party because tell us what's wedding? You know, the truth be told we hadn't set the date yet. And then when her wedding came out, there were a couple people who called me and said,
Starting point is 00:37:12 hey, this is going to be complicated. We said, hey, everyone who comes to the white party, can come whenever they want. So it didn't really matter. So it was just easy to shift in a couple days from when we were originally thinking. Now, let's talk about Fanatics Fest. Now, for people that don't know, how was Fanatics created? Because it was a couple of companies you put together to create Fanatics, correct?
Starting point is 00:37:28 Yeah, I've always started Fanatics in almost 2001, 2002 as part of a bigger company I was running. eBay bought that company. And Fanatics was a teeny company, 2011. I bought it back and really started building this as my 100% focused on in 2011. So we've been out of 15 years. And it's starting to get fun. It's really starting to get fun now. Oh, explain that.
Starting point is 00:37:50 What do you mean when you say starting to get fun? It felt like work in the beginning? No, it never feels like work. I love what I do every minute of every day. It's just, I think, as we continue to touch more sports fans in more ways, and we continue to broaden the business, and I think really get so focused and obsessing about how do we raise the game for fans and everything we do.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I just feel like, you know, when I was small, we dreamed about getting big. Now that we were a little bit bigger, I think big as band I drew about how do you become beloved Like how do you make the most beloved brand in the world? And it's funny You talk about Fanatics Fest It's like that's about how do you be beloved How do you bring all these incredible you know Athletes celebrities artists and most importantly
Starting point is 00:38:30 200,000 sports fans together for four days and that's like That's about being beloved it's about give it a big give back to sports fans so Was it intentional to plan it around like all the World Cup stuff? Yes It was a hundred so I'll tell you the thing I'm singly most excited excited about. So in the World Cup, is, to me, I think, it's just such incredible, amazing event. Every four years,
Starting point is 00:38:53 and then you have, at the end, two teams remaining. Four years ago, it was Argentina, and it was France. Mbopi, captain of France, Messey, captain of Argentina. They do a press conference two days before the final match
Starting point is 00:39:07 at the stadium where the final matches, so it would be at MetLife. They actually moved that press conference for the first time in the history of the World Cup to be at Fanatics Fest. in front of fans. Okay? So if this is a repeat
Starting point is 00:39:18 of four years ago, which it very well could be, Argentina played France. You'd have Mbopi and Messi at Fanatics Fest in front of tens of thousands of fans. Now that's insane. Is that also why it's four days this year as well?
Starting point is 00:39:32 You know, look, we couldn't cram it all in to three days anymore. I mean, we're going to have, when you look at the people come at this, and I just looked at this, I mean, you've got,
Starting point is 00:39:41 in every sport, every top athlete, and by the main culture, You've got from Jay Z to Travis Scott to Wayne to every other artist that comes through. And I just look, Kevin Hart's hosting Cold His Balls. And he's got, you know, Djokovic one day and Cooper Flagg another day. And, you know, he's got, you know, so many different great athletes. And so, like, we love bringing it all together.
Starting point is 00:40:01 And it is, we'll spend, like, between us and our partners, we'll spend like 80 or 90 million dollars to put this thing on. Wow. And the ticket arriving is, the tickets are like 60 or 70 bucks a ticket. So it's like 200,000 people come. It's like, you know, it's like, you know, it's like, 15 million bucks in ticket revenue, but we do it because it's just a great thing to work your ass off. Because fans that come through, they love fanatics when they leave. And I remember last year, I had a guy in his 90s grabbed me.
Starting point is 00:40:27 He's like, Mr. Rubin. By the only thing I don't like is being called Mr. Ruben makes me feel old. I'm always like Michael, you know, Rube, whatever, anything about Mr. Rubin. He's like, I just want to tell you, this has been the greatest weekend of my life. I'm here with my son, my grandson, my great grandson. And he said, the moment we've had that we've been here all three days, days of this and he had like tears coming out of his eyes and it made me almost tear up just seeing you know how much joy you brought to his life beloved that's beloved now you talk about sports betting
Starting point is 00:40:53 so i want to go back to sports betting do you feel like sports betting hurt the league and sports a little bit no because it was happening 100% as we all know illegally so by taking something that was happening illegally and making it legal and giving it the regulation i think it made it much safer for um consumers and By being regulated, I think a lot of things that were going wrong, those things are being worked out of the system. So, like, people talk about, like, you know, the things where players have made mistakes. People have done things they shouldn't have done. That stuff has happened before. You just didn't have the systems in place to catch it.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Now it's happening far less because of the systems that are in place. So I think of regular, like, to me, sports betting gambling is a century-old business, you know. I mean, did you bet before you had legalized sports betting? I don't bet no. Did you bet before you had legalized sports betting? I don't have to gamble like that. I listen. Why didn't ask us?
Starting point is 00:41:48 Because I just felt like I knew he bet. You don't do it anyway. Right. But sports betting is 90% male in fairness. Do you guys bet before? No. You don't have to answer. I bet on it.
Starting point is 00:42:00 I would be funny. It was funny about it. The world is over, Michael. You don't have to be in. Yeah, no, every once in a while I try. I'm not going to. I actually do try to be inclusive. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Thank you, Michael. So shut it. Let's go I'm like But it is It's not like The casino part of our business Is you know
Starting point is 00:42:18 50 50 male to female Sports band is like 92% Mel drift And all this business that you do All these big names Like I just Every time I talk to you I feel your excitement
Starting point is 00:42:27 For what you do How do you said it's getting fun now But it's not because it wasn't fun before How do you keep your work So like passion-filled And like Like it grows so big But you're like a kid
Starting point is 00:42:39 at the candy store right now I agree with that, and I'll say to you, something that I could say that will be offensive, but I really believe is if you don't love what you do, you shouldn't do it. Now, I know what everyone's going to say is, oh, well, it's easy. It's easy for Michael Rubin to say that, okay? But, like, look, you only have so many days on this planet. And, like, I love so much what I'm doing. I love the great parts about what I do, and I love the challenges that I learn from and I grow from.
Starting point is 00:43:05 And so that's what makes me so passionate to the question you just asked me. Like, I wake up every, so I go to bed, you know, on a normal day I'll go to bed, 11 o'clock, 11.30. I wake up within three hours. And, like, I want to go to work so bad. But then I know it's so unhealthy to only sleep three hours night. So I try to get, like, another two to three hours sleep. And I wake up and I jump out of bed because I'm excited to see all the action that I missed in the five and a half hours. I didn't look at my phone.
Starting point is 00:43:31 And, you know, and I love building it. So to me, like, I'm learning every day. I'm growing every day. I have so many great people around me. you know like look by the way think about this we're in the middle of the World Cup I have Fanatics Fest coming up next week just finished with the white party
Starting point is 00:43:45 it's like it's almost like we were just saying I was joking which I think I need to turn my phone off for like a couple weeks in August just to try to get my brain a little bit of a detox Is there a point where the growth becomes enough Like kind of a smile than all what Lauren said
Starting point is 00:44:01 Let me ask you a question If you were number one If your show was the number one show in the world of anything About it is Okay, and he's not just against your core metrics, against everybody in the world, okay? You still say that sucks. It's not good enough.
Starting point is 00:44:14 You're right. Okay? And so I'm never satisfied. I'm never happy. And when I go through Fanatics Fest, no matter how great it is, I'm going to look at what are all the things I see that aren't right. I remember doing a walk through the white party three hours before.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I was pointing out like 50 things that bothered me, okay? Because I had that attention to detail. It's just the brain I was born with. And so I don't think you should ever be satisfied. I don't think, you know, how good you are. Do you think Tom Brady was satisfied with seven Super Bowls? He only talks about the three he didn't win, okay? He's not talking about the, you know, he's not talking about the ones that, you know, he won.
Starting point is 00:44:49 He's about, you know, I can't believe what happened against the Giants. I can't believe what happened here. That's the mentality. And so that's the winner's mentality. So, no, we should never be satisfied. When it comes to billionaires, when people say billionaires shouldn't exist, do you take that personally? I don't. But I think there's a problem with that, right?
Starting point is 00:45:04 The American dream is incredible. Like, I don't think, I get why people can be jealous, envious, but here's the way I look at it. Like, when I was a kid, my idol was Phil Knight. It wasn't an athlete. It was Phil Knight, okay, the founder of Nike. And I idolized him because I was always a business person from the time I was a young kid. And, like, I was always, like, I was always an entrepreneur. It's what I always want to do.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Like, I knew I'd never be a good athlete. I knew I'd never be a good student. But I loved business. And so when someone says, like, kill the American dream, like, don't you want to have the dream? Hey, if I'm you guys, like, how do I take the show? How do I turn it into its own business? How do I monetize it better? How do I make it worth?
Starting point is 00:45:47 I be like, I don't want you guys to not dream. I want you guys to dream for the biggest thing you can possibly dream for. And so I don't like people saying, hey, like kind of kill the American dream. That said, it doesn't bother me because I understand, like, people can look and say, hey, Michael's fortune. he's lucky, he's whatever. It truly doesn't bother me. The only thing that bothers me is when people tell me things I think they're right about, then I want to turn that in action and fixing it.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah, I guess for me it's not about the killing of the American dream. I just feel like sometimes people want to put a cap on it that kind of feels screams. Like, you know, because you create something and make a shit of a money on it, whose fault is it? Yeah, and by the way, look at whether you like Elon Musk, don't like Elon Musk, like Jeff Bezos, don't like Jeff Bezos, like Mark Zucker or not. Like, those are aspirational. stories. I mean, look how freaking, and by the
Starting point is 00:46:36 I don't even really know Elon Musk. Look at the different things he's built from you know, SpaceX to Tesla. And you're like, you have to respect the brain. You have to respect the drive. Like, why don't I want to put a cap on that? So I want everyone in the world to say anything is possible and I can do whatever I set my mind to
Starting point is 00:46:52 and I don't like putting caps on that. That said, I don't want Elon you that influence to influence elections. And by the way, you know me well enough to I stay out of power. I hate politics. You know why? Because it divides people. And I run a consumer company, okay? And the second we talk about politics, half the people hate you. Yeah. Okay? So I just try to avoid politics at all cost. It's not good. You do a lot of charity,
Starting point is 00:47:13 though. Like, you do. I do so many things behind it. Most of it's behind the scenes. Yeah. And by way, I enjoy it. And some of the things, look, you guys all know because it's how we all first met. Like, the Reform Alliance that we started because of Meek with Jay and Meek and Robert Kraft has like been work that I love doing it. We've made a huge impact with. And the work we do with Make a Wish, which I always say, if anyone, by the way, there are a lot of people that hate on the Reform Alliance, like, oh, you know, you're getting criminals. Like, they don't even understand what it is. They just want to hate on it, okay?
Starting point is 00:47:41 Make a Wish, which is the biggest partnership we have at Fanatics, where we take every sports wish, we help make better for the kids, okay? So anyone that's got a wish in sports, Fanatics is kind of part of making it happen. If you don't like Make a Wish, you're a bad human being, okay? I'll just say it right now. If someone wants to hate on Make a Wish, they're literally a bad human. We love doing charity work. Like it's, again, if you take the perspective,
Starting point is 00:48:06 and I think you guys probably do that we're all lucky to be here, then it's our responsibility to give back and make a difference. Do you think charity sometimes becomes a substitute for fixing broken systems? Like the actual systems being broken? Well, I think the government is a really inefficient way of doing things, but it's just the way the world works. Like, do I believe when we started the Reform Alliance? And I remember someone said to me,
Starting point is 00:48:30 hey, Michael, you should have a goal of how many people, you get out of probation and parole. And I said, what do you think is a good number? And this person who I love, not like, the very important person in this world, they said you should have a goal of 10,000 people. I'm like, huh?
Starting point is 00:48:45 I'm like, there's 4.5 million people on probation and parole. I think probably like a million or two million people should be on probation and parole. So it should be like two to three million less people. They said, well, you won't miss the goal of 10,000. I'm like, that's the . . . . . it sucks. I'm like, I have my goal.
Starting point is 00:49:01 They're like, what are you? going to do? I'm like a million people. Like you might miss the goal. I'm like, screw that. Like, I want to make a big goal. Yeah. If you go after the big number, what's the worst that happens? You say I want to get a million, you get 700,000? Right. Right. That's 70X what the person would have said. So that goes to the mentality of like taking entrepreneurialism against like a government issue, right? Probation and parole is broken because of the government. We created the reformalized because of what happened to Meek. Remember, Meek was on probation for 11 years at the time this happened or 10 years at the time this happened
Starting point is 00:49:33 and he had another like 10 years left okay none of us could be on probation for 20 years okay and follow the rules of probation without get by right remember you can't be in contact with a felon if you're on probation how many people are that on probation naturally would be in contact with it's just a natural thing okay and so I think it's great to bring entrepreneurialism to fixing government problems I think you know the two kind of offset each other. If all your money disappeared tomorrow, what impact would you still be proud of? First of all, I ask people this question all the time. It's amazing how divided an answer I get. More that disagree with me. So I say all the time, I would give up everything I had to be 10 years younger.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Everything. Wow, you got a lot of energy. Ain't you look good. What do you mean? Wow. In one second. What? For sure. No, just kidding. You see what he was going to get me? Third baby. He's always going for it. I thought that was your issue, by the way, not mine. So. He's in blue juice.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Yeah. So I just, the way I look at it, first of all, I love the grind. I love the hustle. I believe if I started over to Marmoney with, if I start to Marmoney with nothing, it would be fun going through the trials, the tribulations, what ideas I came with, how I built. To be 10 years younger, oh my God, I would do it one second. I ask people who are really well off this question all the time. Most people disagree with me.
Starting point is 00:50:54 They're like, nah, I won't do that. I'm like, you got no fight in you that. 76's question. Does LeBron come to the 76s? I don't know that answer. Do you want to see him in the 76s? I would love to see it. I mean, I think LeBron is still, you know, top, top, top NBA star. I think culturally, he had, you know, there's one thing I've seen.
Starting point is 00:51:14 I didn't understand this 10 years ago. There were so many people that are so gifted athletically, some of the best athletes in the world, they don't have the heart, okay? if you took my heart and certain athletes' skills, I feel like you'd win the championship every year. LeBron has both. And so I've never, like, I'm fortunate enough to have spent so much time with Brady,
Starting point is 00:51:38 and you see why he won seven Super Bowls. Like right now, for the Fanatics Games, next week at Fanatics Fest, I don't know if you guys fully understand this. So we take 50 athletes, celebrities, artists, against 50 average Joe fans, so 100 people competing for a million-dollar first prize, a fry is worth like a half million dollars
Starting point is 00:51:56 second prize and a quarter million dollar trading card is the third price and it's like eight different athletic competitions like how hard can you punch the UFC bag your WWW walkout kicking a field goal pitching in baseball basketball three point shooting competition
Starting point is 00:52:12 and Brady won it last year and the shit he's been talking about how he's going to win it this year he can't wait to compete he's literally in people's head that are like some of the best athletes in the world. Okay, like Djokovic is doing this year. Kat's doing it this year. Like, there's just so many, you know, great athletes doing this. And I hear him just, he's mentally messing with people to make sure he has every edgy cat. And he's serious. Like, he's like,
Starting point is 00:52:37 I'm winning first prize. I'm winning. I'm winning. I'm winning again. He doesn't care about the money. He cares about winning because he's like, I want that championship. I want him in the Finanx games two years in a row. I love that drive. So when I look at Bron, I look at a guy who every time I've been fortunate enough to spend time with him, I see why he is who he is who he. And is and he is driven at a way like so few people at so few athletes are I think less than one percent of the athletes in the world have that kind of mentality so yes absolutely I think you see that you see that same mentality in people outside of athletics and if so who yeah I do and the way I learn as I've said is I learned this is the great thing by bringing
Starting point is 00:53:15 people from different backgrounds to get you you learn from different people around you take Desiree press we both know Des she's a killer okay She's gonna win at whatever she does. Absolutely. She's gonna win whatever she does. Okay? She's just got that man. And by way, we have a competition
Starting point is 00:53:32 who's working harder. Like, the shit is talk between like me and Tom Brady, who's up first in the morning? You know, he'll hit me at 4.30. Why are you sleeping? Why are you sleeping at 4.45? Oh, I got your wife be pissed. She just, we're sleeping in the vets at this point.
Starting point is 00:53:44 She's like, that jet ship is sale. Yeah, she says, she looks at me. She needs her eight hours of sleep every night. She's not wanting me near her in bed. She's got her no strips, her ear plugs, her. full blackout shades, the ambit, noise, everything. I'm just like, let me get back to work as quickly as possible. But, like, so I learn from everyone around me,
Starting point is 00:54:03 and that's how I grow and learn. We've got a couple more questions. I haven't gotten you in trouble yet. Keep trying. It doesn't bother. What do we have so far? We have the erectile dysfunction. We have dicked-dict-dict-ditch-ditchie shots.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I didn't see a few hugs from the back this year. That's not illegal. That's not illegal. I didn't say something. You stopped that. No. Well, first of all, I just want to say one thing. I've hugged many of people drunk every which way, front back, and don't give a .
Starting point is 00:54:31 But I would say, after that happens, definitely made me more sensitive to not have a picture like that go out. I will hug you from the back anytime. Exactly. There's nothing. Y'all cancer twins. There's nothing about that. I'm looking at Holland's Instagram and like, he was just an ice bath. I actually thought about you guys yesterday because I saw Holland.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Obviously, the star in Norway is like, you know, one of the, most incredible soccer as we call football players in the world. Why did you think about them? Because he was in an ice bath with one of his teammates. It was like a little ice bat. I'm like, oh, God,
Starting point is 00:55:02 you guys would be talking can't take an ice bath together. They would do a lot. Why would we be taking an ice bath together? Y'all would do a lot. Why would anybody take an ice bath together? Because athletes could have fun and make a joke and take a picture of the ice bath.
Starting point is 00:55:14 I don't think everybody taking an ice bat together. I thought it was a joke. So I will hug you from behind still. Yeah, I don't want you. You should have a damn. You brought it I don't know you like it by the way See he's trying to be on coming
Starting point is 00:55:25 He does it He tries to act like it bothers him But it doesn't No We're making hugging comfortable We can have fun We can hug Bring it back
Starting point is 00:55:34 Okay From the front Hug from the back There's nothing suspect About that The thing I do respect about you You know a suspect What?
Starting point is 00:55:40 Thinking you can't hug I can hug Want to hug right now Let's go baby From the back Turn around No baby No time that
Starting point is 00:55:47 I don't know Tell around baby No No But if I ever see you when I've had like 10 drinks, I'm jumping on your back. Definitely jump on his back, Mike. Here's going to be probably he's going to pull his back.
Starting point is 00:56:00 He's like, oh, I'm too old. Now he pulled my back. That's when I go back to see this. That's why they call you the new daddy. Oh, God. They actually don't know what you do. No, they don't. But the thing I respect about you, though,
Starting point is 00:56:10 you all one of the few billionaires, I believe, who's really embraced black culture instead of just profiting from it because you've put a lot of money in a lot of black people's pocket, right? But what's the responsibility that comes with? Look, I don't. look at it is black culture, not black culture.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I think they're just doing the right thing. Here's my real mentality. I am fortunate and lucky, and I want everyone to do great around me. I know this from a lot of really well-off, white billionaires who they're actually not trying to help the other people. Like, I grew up with, like, Robert Kraft, Jonathan Kraft, they're always trying to help me, okay?
Starting point is 00:56:42 I got a lot of people that have helped me to be where I am, so I want to help everybody that I can, okay? And we have lots of friends and, like, real friends in common where I've, like, gotten to war for friends. I've helped them a big transformative things in their life. And they would do the same thing for me. I don't care white, black, purple,
Starting point is 00:56:59 but it doesn't matter. To me, it's just like, do you have a mentality if you want everyone to do great around you? I want everyone to do great. I want all of us to grow together, all of us to push each other up. Robert Kraft told us one time,
Starting point is 00:57:09 he said, and if you was here, Robert Kraft said, I hate what I help people from other communities to get money and they don't help their communities. Yeah, I actually remember hearing that.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Look, what I would say is, I really have the mentality. I just want everyone to do well. And I think if you have that mentality, it's great karma. Good shit happens. And so, like, I didn't try to start the Reform Alliance. Like, I watched something horrible having to Meek that was wrong. I said, okay, I'm an entrepreneur. It's my responsibility that we've got to go start something to fix this.
Starting point is 00:57:42 And I didn't even think about it. I just did it. Okay? And that's when myself and Jay and Meek and Robert Kraft and the whole group came together. And probably we've impacted it, like more than a million. people that would be on probation pro today that aren't. But it wasn't like some strategic decision. Like to me, I just want to always help where I can help
Starting point is 00:58:00 and then be comfortable to ask people, you know, for questions and where I can learn from, the amount I've learned from Jay-ZU, the amount I've learned from Travis Scott, just by listening to them, by watching them. It's like, that helps me learn and be better. I'm fortunate to be in that position. You talked about the last time you was here, when you talked about the black on black hate,
Starting point is 00:58:16 and you got a lot of pushback for that. You posted apology and you said you got a phone call for one of the people that you have. the most respect for in the world and they told you that they appreciated your intention behind the comments but it wasn't your place to speak on black culture and you get it you really appreciate the input what was the learning like what did you learn in that yeah it was a good learning because i'm just like such a transparent person i say whatever on my mind which is why generally am a great interview for this guy when he's trying to get me in trouble um you know because i i speak my mind
Starting point is 00:58:45 the learning there was if you have the mentality of you just want everyone to do great and by So many people were also sending me notes saying Don't apologize, you are right. Including I think one of you guys might have. I can't remember one of you guys. We said, we talked about it on here. Right. Like, look, I was well intended.
Starting point is 00:59:02 And what I was just trying to say is, like, I want everyone to do great. I don't want anyone to hate on anybody. But I get when it's not, you know, the world you're from, people can say like it's not your place to speak. And that's a very logical input to give to me. And so sometimes you just need to realize as you get bigger, right? people are going to pick apart everything you say. Everything. Okay? And so you just need to be a little more careful of just not like
Starting point is 00:59:24 just speaking so quick off off the cuff, even if it hurts an interview that he does. Who calls you? Doesn't matter. You guys know who called me. I know who called you. Right. I'm not saying, I'm not saying, I know it was. I got nothing to say. How many celebrities call you when they can't get into the party?
Starting point is 00:59:43 How many calls do you get when you don't send an invitation? Oh, God. The thing I love about the white party, is bringing so many great people together and the great things that come from it and the fun, by way, it's a 12-hour party. Like, we have fun and we're allowed to have fun. There's no... A 12-hour party?
Starting point is 00:59:58 Yeah, I know you're old. There's different shifts. Yeah, there's four parts of the party. 530 to 8.30, there's cocktails, and it's really kind of more like business running, everyone's just kind of having conversations, people finding things they can do with each other. Networking.
Starting point is 01:00:11 There's got to be an hour-out-hour party. No. Everyone's not old and tired like you. We have good energy. Right. Yeah. 8.30 to 10 o'clock, we do. you dinner the USA game. I never watched the USA game.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Then we go to my roof, okay, 10 o'clock and we had, by the way, it was Alicia Keys did New York, New York to the fireworks. It was, she wasn't good or great. She was spectacular. Okay. Swiss B son was DJ?
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yeah, he was great. Snoop. He was on the movie. He was great. Then we go to the club at like 1230 and, you know, Cardi was in the club. Nellie was in the club. Performing, I mean.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Wayne was in the club. and they were just all so good. So it's just, it's different shifts. And it's like one time people, and the average person's probably there at eight, nine, ten hours. And so, you know, to me, it's just like, it's good fun.
Starting point is 01:00:56 So we are allowed to have fun in 2006. We're bringing fun back. It's okay. Michael Rubin, ladies. Michael Ruben, my guy. July 16th through the 19th of the Javid Senate. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 01:05:01 Chacore Stevenson. That's that goddamn strangler. No, that's that scrangler. She got on choking her. That's what that is. She can't breathe. I can breathe. No, you can.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Yes, I can. Oh, my God. Shakur Stevenson, he was on, he sat down, he was having a conversation, well, they'd be on Zoom, but he was having a conversation with Ocho Cinco and Shannon Sharp. And they got into a conversation about Shannon Sharp just critiquing the way that Shakur fights. Let's take a listen. You ain't going to bet that money for a real. You bluffing. I'm going to back.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Go ain't going to back something like. Hey, Shakur, I know you had a lot to say about that situation that I went through last year. Don't let that situation. What situation? I still are out of check the bank can't, the bank of balance. You got upset because I don't fall in praise you. You're not really hearing me. If you can't knock out Tiofimo, you damn show can knock me out.
Starting point is 01:05:51 And Tia Fimo won't 30. He'll beat your ass. Mickey Miles bigger than you. I came much of his weight class. He wasn't 130. I was 135. He was 140. I eat 140 pounds worth of food.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Tio will beat your ass. What happened is that you didn't like what I said about your style. People want to see you put yourself in harm's weight and get down. You're going to have to buy it. When you step in that ring, you're going to have to buy it. in harm's way. When you go watch my last fight since you're saying, I don't put myself in harm's way. Who was back
Starting point is 01:06:18 in the, me or Tio. You don't do your homework. But you're talking about one fight. You talk about Tiafimo. Any fight. What about all the other fight? I'm not a woman. Am I the only one that's ever said that about your fighting style? Yes or not. A lot of people that don't know boxing say that. I agree with Chicoa Stevenson. Chicoa Stevenson is not boring. If you understand
Starting point is 01:06:34 the sweet science of boxing, he's actually very fun to watch. Okay, Chikore has elite level defense. And if Chikore is so boring, how come the top guys don't be wanting to fight him. Salute to Tio Fimo Lopez, you know what I mean, for getting in the ring what she called Stevenson, and he completely outclassed Tiofimo in the ring.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Completely outclass. He's a great fighter, magnificent fighter, but nobody else going to talk about the fact that Shannon Sharp was talking like he's boxer? Yeah, and then also, why would you bring up your situation from last year?
Starting point is 01:07:00 Why would you bring that up? I guess he said something about it. I don't know anything about it. I know, but I wouldn't be, that's the last thing I'm going to bring up. Shannon Sharp be boxing? And the reality is... No, he's not.
Starting point is 01:07:09 And that's where he was selling him. Like, yo, you're ignorant. To the sport of boxing. To the sport of boxing. You're ignorant. And that's true. I can't tell Chaucor Stevenson nothing about boxing. No.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Like even if I, as much as I watched the sport, I don't live it. I'm not in the ring. But you can tell him as a fan if there's something that you like or you don't like or something that you think of. But that's what Shannon Shart was trying to explain. That was his argument. But even your reference. No, he was talking like he was going to beat him up.
Starting point is 01:07:34 It was that. But also if you're referencing the last fight and he dominated in the last fight, how are you using that to say that I'm not doing something? He dominated to your few more. He did. Yeah, Tiofumo backing up the whole fight. Yeah, shout out to Shakora Stevenson. He signed with Dana White's Zufa.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Is that how he said? Zufa boxing. What's that like the White Zeus Network? What is that? Zufa. It's one of his promotional companies, right? Yeah, it's a promotional company. It's not like Zeus.
Starting point is 01:07:58 I don't... Crazy. All right. Yeah, so moving on to another sports story here. So Jacob Toby was an announcer with the Spurs. And I say was because, according to Front Or office sports. There is a report out right now that Jacob Toby potentially was
Starting point is 01:08:15 let go from his job because he was accused of cheating via social media by his current girlfriend at the time of cheating with a sister of the Spurs player. So you get fired because you was cheating? That sounds crazy. No sister of Spurs player.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Yes. That's probably what got to fight. But she doesn't... Hold on the way. Let me explain first and then we can debate that because I had some of the same reactions you guys did. So earlier this week, Toby's girlfriend posted on his Instagram story in the middle of the night that he had an affair. She posted
Starting point is 01:08:47 and tagged the woman, the sister, that he allegedly had the affair with. And then uploaded some photos that she says with them to interaction. Yeah, they were kissing and interacting in inappropriate ways. So now front office sports is saying that he no longer has a job. Now, there are
Starting point is 01:09:03 other places that are reporting this that are just basing this on front office sports, but they're saying that they haven't received an official comment yet. But if he is fired, yes, the conversation is should he have been fired because he's an announcer and he's cheating with one of the sisters of the players at first I thought
Starting point is 01:09:19 how it's not a player it's not someone you work with but wouldn't that mess up couldn't that potentially mess up how you're announcing the game what if he was cheating with a player that would have been crazy crazy why did you bend over in a lot? What? But I think it's crazy that if he got fired
Starting point is 01:09:35 for that because one he's not married right cheating is wrong but he is not married and two it's not anybody that works for the team. Yes. Well, is he married? Because you say, somebody's his girlfriend. Oh, his girlfriend. His girlfriend. It's not a player on the team. It's not somebody that works for the team. It's a player's sister. And that's technically his personal life.
Starting point is 01:09:53 You know what I mean? That's his personal life. If he got fired for that, I think he might have to reach out to a lawyer. I just want to that's crazy. Jacob Toby is Native American. He is not black. Black men don't cheat. Oh, please. He is Native American. That's a good. You know, we'll talk about it after
Starting point is 01:10:09 donkey. We'll take it calls after donkey. no black men don't cheat but I know what you're saying but just when I hear it on surface value it's like you're triggered yeah yeah absolutely but we'll talk about that when we come back because that is a good topic should that man have gotten fired if he did we say alleged because they didn't say the reason why he got fired did you reach out to the sister no I didn't reach out to the sister okay not yet anyway we need more details yeah yeah because I also you got to think about we got to know what his contract said because maybe there was stipulation there too like moral clauses yeah like we don't
Starting point is 01:10:39 there's a lot we don't know here so but even with a moral clause he's not married it's just like yeah like it's not a legal document it's not married so what cheating is cheating he could say i would intercourse of any sort is intercourse but the what they got to do with your job because if i'm the spurs player and i'm upset that the announcer was sleeping with my sister and i go to the front office and complain and so now being that i'm an actual player jacob you're a distraction to the team you did some things that were that you caused conduct that ended up being detrimental to the organization you got to go yeah but you still can't fire man because let's say that he's broke up with you
Starting point is 01:11:11 the girl and the girl still wants him and she's just putting that we don't know what's true or what's not true. What if I'm the player who complained?

Starting point is 01:16:14 Why you advertise in a car show for vendors? I didn't hear every website email. Ain't nobody. Y'all ain't like taking vendors. Why you're lying? Ma'am, if you've been listening, we've been talking about this car show for a long time. And we have a lot of vendors, actually. No, she asked you what's the website.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Well, right. Y'all's supposed to choose me, D. I've been trying to get in there for two years. That is a lot. There's been so many vendors, so many people with their cars, so many food trucks. Who you've been calling? What's the website? Not the right people.
Starting point is 01:16:42 I need the direct connect DJ Envy. Okay. I need to be in there. I need to be in there. I need to be in there. Email Mercedes at Bigfoot size 12 at gmail.com. No, that is not it. No, DJ Envy.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Put Joe in there. You could do DJMV car show at Gmail.com. Mercedes will hit you right back. I can't do that. I emailed that. All right, well hit DJNV assistant at gmail. Either one of those will go right to Mercedes. Mercedes email.
Starting point is 01:17:08 She answers all those emails. She might have missed that one. I don't know how, but she will definitely hit you back. In the subject, put Soskaw sandals. Do not do that. Not do that. Thank you. I like you, I love y'all.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Where are you from? You from Chicago. Yes, I got a coffee line. Okay, you're going to pull up to Virginia? Yes. If you bite me, I'm coming. Okay, all right. I'll get her on.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Send her an email now, and when she gets up, make sure she responds to you. And your coffee, bet not taste little and ghetto, Eva. No, just if Canada doesn't inspire, you need to let me do this time. Damn, all right, all right, that's cool. And I can't wait to see you. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:17:46 When I was in essence, everybody was like, where the tall girl, Sholomey keeps talking about? Oh, my God. What are the big feet? Don't forget the big feet. When they see it, what do they say? They're like, God damn, Charlemagne, not lying. Shut up, man.
Starting point is 01:17:59 You'll take one more. It's not that big. Good morning. Who's this? Hey, this is DeVore. Hey, DeVar. Who do you want to get the biggest he hard to? Oh, I told him about it already, but the friends and all the people that's voting out there on Horn Island that left this man behind.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Because based on maritime law, there's a certain code of maritime law that nobody was supposed to leave him behind. Even if they were the last voter out there, they were responsible for making sure you can't leave somebody on the island. You can't leave a swim in distress. Oh, wow. I didn't know that. I mean, I never heard about the maritime law. That's interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Yeah, it's the U.S. Code 246, 203. I believe that's code. But you cannot leave or see someone in distress swimming when he said that he know he can't make it back, but then turn around, know that he doesn't actually have a secure ride. So basically that rule of saying like, hey, you came with us, you leave with us, no matter what happens on a boat, unless you secure that person on another boat and say, all right, you're definitely going to take him.
Starting point is 01:19:02 and you're the original person that's falling out, you're on the hook for that person. So the fact that these young men are able to go home because their parent is a judge, I believe that, you know, that's a setup. Because every time something happens when somebody's a city official or they work within a county or state or something,
Starting point is 01:19:20 they always use that position of power to make sure they can't go home tonight. But if that was me or anybody else on their boat because I'm an avid fisherman, I would still be in, I would still be in cuffs. I would still be behind bars trying to tell them why I left this man behind. Brother, you learn something new on the Breakfast Club every day.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Thank you for that information, sir. All right. Appreciate you, man. All right, brother. That's the people's donkey. We do that every Friday. 1,800-585-105-1. You can call in and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid.

And you can go to Talk Back and leave messages. But nobody up here ever checks them. But, you know, one day- So why are you even talking about it? Why would you say that?
Starting point is 01:20:04 Because people should do their job. So one day, somebody's going to do their job and go, you know, check the talkback feature. But, you know, until then, we'll see you next Friday. Yes. That was the people's donkey. Again, each and every Friday, 800-585-105-1. Now, tonight, of course, before we continue on, is the unks are out. It's whole side.

Starting point is 01:20:45 Back in my day. This don't be asking me stupid stuff. I would crank my head to the side and turn this all the way on. Come in these. Y'Nee's. Don't say who's that. Don't say nothing. I don't say nothing.
Starting point is 01:20:56 My man is a huge JZ fan. If I have to ask any questions, I have an expert that I can, you know, see a ticket. Yeah, he's fine. Don't worry about him. If Nas comes out and does the hook for dead presidents, don't ask no questions. If Fat Joe comes out and does the hook for bringing it on,
Starting point is 01:21:10 I don't want to hear like, oh my God, I didn't know Fed Joe was on this record. I don't want to hit none of that tonight. None of that. Okay? Because that would be what Lauren saying, yo. I don't want to hit none of that.
Starting point is 01:21:19 None of that, yo. Like, when did Fat Joe's in music? Like, if Nas is going to do hate me now next? No. Oh, my God. Mary Jane was on Jay's first album? I want to hit none of that tonight. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:30 Well, let's open up the phone lines. Let's clear the lines. Clay the lines. 805.15.1. Break down quickly. What happened in San Antonio, Jacob Toby, who is a announcer for the Spurs, is reportedly being fired according to front office sports. Now, what happened was Jacob Toby's girlfriend got on his Instagram this week, and
Starting point is 01:21:50 she posted to his Instagram. Dang, I had the comment. Now, I don't have it. Jacob, she says, she posted, this is my girlfriend of six years. She's speaking like she's Jacob. But I cheated on her with Lauren Waters. So feel free to continue following me if you really think I'm a good guy because I'm not. So she got, she got his phone and posted that.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Yes. Yes. And that was a picture of her. And then in the next story, she posted photos of Jacob Toby and Lauren Waters in a photo booth. And they're laughing, giggling, but they're also kissing in one of the photos as well, too. And then the girlfriend later came out and said that it was her on the Instagram stories. But because of this, front office sports is reporting that Jacob Toby was let go from his job because Lauren Waters, her brother played for the Spurs. So the question is 800585-105-1.
Starting point is 01:22:33 What they reported, if it's true, should he have been able to get fired for cheating on his girlfriend? Let's discuss. It's the breakfast. I-Hart Radio is throwing it back.

Call 800-585105-105-1 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody, it's DJNV, Jess Hilarious, Sholomane the Guy.
Starting point is 01:26:20 We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren, just break down what happened in San Antonio for people that don't know. So Jacob Toby, he is, or was potentially, a announcer for the Spurs. And his girlfriend got on social media on his Instagram this week and accused him of cheating on her with the sister of one of the players of the team. The player is Lindy Waters and the sister is Lauren Waters. So first she posted on Jacob Toby's Instagram, this is my girlfriend of six years, but I cheated on her with Lauren Water. So feel free to continue following me if you really think I'm a good guy because I'm not smiley face. And then in the next Insta story, she posted the photos of Jacob Toby and this girl Lauren
Starting point is 01:26:58 and they're kissing, laughing, joking. They're like at a photo booth at like an event or something. So they was having a good time. So the question is he allegedly got fired because of this. So 800585105-105.1 should he have gotten fired for that? Now, the player, the player's sister, is the player good? Well, no, in the last year, I don't know what y'all can consider good because I don't really know too much about sports.
Starting point is 01:27:21 but in the last year he had 2.4 points. That's the average? Yes. 0.7 rebounds, 0.5 assist in 37.5 FG percentage. That's field goal percentage. That's the percentage. Philgo is football, Amy. Come on, don't try to trip me up.
Starting point is 01:27:37 All right, but that's what it is. 37.5 FGs. Listen, I don't know what the rules of the Spurs organization are, but I do know when I think of the San Antonio Spurs, I think of a high level of excellence. You know, Greg Popovich, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Tony Parker, Manager Nobly, Sean Elliott,
Starting point is 01:27:53 and Avery Johnson. Like, there's just a certain standard of greatness that all of those people I just named carry themselves with. And I think that's a reflection of the whole organization. So I expect the Spurs to not want any of that type
Starting point is 01:28:04 of scandalous behavior around because this is messy. You cheating on your girl with a player's sister and now the girlfriend is putting the player's sister on blast. It might just be too much. And what if they got morality clauses
Starting point is 01:28:16 that protect the organization's reputation by allowing them to terminate a contract or penalize a person when they engage in this type of scandalous behavior. You have to say allegedly, right? Because we don't know if he was really cheating. We don't know if he broke up with Shorty. Shorty's just mad and said, I want to get you back.
Starting point is 01:28:32 No, that was too specific. We don't know what happened. And how do you fire somebody for their personal life? Exactly. He's not married. He's as a girlfriend. And we don't know what the processes of their relationship is. Maybe they're dating people.
Starting point is 01:28:45 Maybe they're going in and out. Read that corporate ethics part. That's exactly what I said. Are there rules around that? And so Google is saying that there's no official league-wide rules, but there are different things that they think about. For instance, corporate ethics. So most major networks and team PR departments mandate
Starting point is 01:29:02 that employees avoid situations where personal relationships interfere or appear to interfere with their professional duties. They say that this is frowned upon. And also they mentioned that this could be a conflict of interest and just have professional media members getting fired because there could be real world consequences between. Wow, like his sister what is not on the team. That's something like, if he had sex with a play on the team,
Starting point is 01:29:23 then I would be like, yeah, or the coach, I'd be like, okay, I understand. If he had sex with a player on the team. She's not a part of the team. All you're hearing is spurs, spurs, spurs, spurs, spurs, spurs, spurs, spurs, spurs, first, first, first, first, spurs. Spurs don't want their name connected to any of this type of scandalous stuff. Whether it's an announcer player. And I'm not saying that, you know, his firing is justified, but if they decide that they want to terminate the contract and pay him out because, you know, they feel like this behavior is too scandalous, I don't, I don't really see the problem, bro. Yeah, I see the problem.
Starting point is 01:29:48 That is crazy. I disagree with that. Let people go because of what they do in their personal life. If I was an announcer, I wouldn't be knocking off no, you know, sister's player. I mean, a player, yeah, the player of the team's sister. Like, you should think about that like, ah. You probably would have knocked off the player, but my point is just, right in a locker room. It's his personal life.
Starting point is 01:30:05 He met a young lady outside. They were dating. You know the reason I know you would like Victor Wimbiana because you wouldn't even have to get on your knees. You would just walk right up. I know, that's right. And that's the easy kind. You would walk right up. Easy kind right there.
Starting point is 01:30:15 I'm not talking to you, man. be like an electric charger, you know, when you see a freaking Tesla backup to a EP. Hello? Hey, yo. Hello, good morning. Hey, good morning. What's your name? Good morning.
Starting point is 01:30:26 This is India from Harlem. India from Harlem. Talk to us. What's your thoughts? I'm a girl girl and I hate a cheetah. I just want to say that. With that being said, I think his person likes to be his person in life and his business should be the way he makes money.
Starting point is 01:30:38 The two shouldn't affect each other. I agree with you because this lady has nothing to do with the spurs that I know. If she did, then. You could say something else. But if I just met this lady, we started dating or kissing or whatever, and then I find out she's a spurs. Nah, that's fair. I don't think he was fine for that.
Starting point is 01:30:55 I completely disagree. I think he knew he was, I think he knew she was a spurs. And I still think it doesn't matter. Right. Me, that's how I feel too. Okay, thank you. Unless he was married. Now, what if the girl comes out or they come out and say it wasn't cheating because I had
Starting point is 01:31:10 distanced myself from our relationship? She's just upset. And that's my point. Exactly. That's the possibility. But now he's fine. Anyway, yeah. Hello, who's this? This is D.P. from Orlando, Florida.
Starting point is 01:31:20 Hey, what's you thinking, brother? Talk to us. What's your thing? I'm not saying that you shouldn't get fired for what you're doing your personal time. Yeah. You're cheating or whatever. That's just not true. He ain't doing it on the clock, so he shouldn't be fired.
Starting point is 01:31:33 That's just not true. Remember what? Hold on, go ahead. Unless you kill somebody or kidnap somebody or you beating on somebody, you should not get fired for anything that happens in your personal life. It should not affect your business. illegal, I understand. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 01:31:47 Like you said, beating or abusing or killing or hurting. Yes, but do you remember when the Boston Celtics coach that was married to Nia Long, uh, uh, uh, Udoca, he was fired because they said it was an improper, consensual, intimate relationship with a female staff member? Yeah, but it was a female staff member. She worked there. And he was married. It's not.
Starting point is 01:32:10 If you're an announcer, you got to think about who you're cheating with. She doesn't work for the. The other guy, she worked for the, the, the, but you cheated with an employee's sister. And it's a player who you were to say to self- talking about. That's what I'm saying. She can work in the $1.
Starting point is 01:32:28 But y'all never thought about right, like, if you're dealing with somebody, but if you're dealing with somebody where you work at, you never thought about, like, I don't want to deal with somebody where you're, well, it's different for y'all, but Jess, you're dealing with somebody where you work at, you never think like, I don't want to do that because if it get weird between us, then it's weird in the workplace.
Starting point is 01:32:42 If it gets weird in the workplace for him, that can change how he announces the game. announces the game. Yeah, but look, this is what I'm saying. This could work out for him, though, because he already don't be in the game. So he could use his sister, like, look, tell him to talk to the coach so I can get in the game more.
Starting point is 01:32:55 8005-85-105-1. Should he have gotten fired? Let's discuss this the breakfast club of the moon. Tell me. Tell me. Made it. If y'all talking about it, you know we're talking about it. It's topic time.
Starting point is 01:33:12 Call 800-585-105-1 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV, just hilarious. Salomey the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren, Lawn Lawn Laughes here as well. Now, Lauren, break down what's happening in San Antonio.
Starting point is 01:33:26 So in San Antonio, Jacob Toby, who was an announcer for the Spurs. His girlfriend revealed via his Instagram that he was allegedly cheating on her with Lauren Waters, who is the sister of Lindy Waters, who plays for the Spurs. So his girlfriend at the time, I don't know if they together now, posted to his Instagram. This is my girlfriend of six years, but I cheated on her with Lauren Waters. So feel free to continue following me If you really think I'm a good guy because I'm not And then she posted another instant story after that
Starting point is 01:33:50 And put up photos of Jacob, Toby, and the Lauren Waters girl And they're like in a photo booth And it's like a ton of photos. And one of the photos are kissing. So we're asking, should he have gotten fired? 800585-105-1. Hello, who's this? And this is Bree from Jersey. Hey, Bree. Talk to us. What's your thoughts?
Starting point is 01:34:08 I'm all right. How are y'all did you want? Bless Black and Holly Favorite. How are you? I'm fine, thank you. So it's probably the topic I don't feel like She's not fired because of the situation But probably because it could cause a hostile advice
Starting point is 01:34:21 Yes The sister is now viral for being the cheater The announcer is not The viral for being a cheater So she's probably getting back last for that And he's probably just trying to protect his sister You know now the world The world knows her to being a cheater
Starting point is 01:34:33 But now let me ask you, Brie So imagine he broke up with his girl And he was talking to the player's sister And now the girl is just jealous and just was like nah Nobody else could have it and did that and lied. Is it still foul? Should he still gotten fired?
Starting point is 01:34:46 Because we don't know the situation. I don't think he should have lost his job, maybe placed somewhere else, but I don't think you should have lost his job. That's wrong. That's how I feel. Right. It's wrong.
Starting point is 01:34:59 They shouldn't have a fight him because that's the person in life. They don't have nothing to do the way he'd make his money. They probably feel like I put you somewhere else, how you're not going to do it again? But also, do y'all realize professional judgment from an employer is different than legal standards? Yeah, the chance. cheating may not be illegal, but the way we carry ourselves here in this organization,
Starting point is 01:35:17 we don't want that around us. We don't want the negative publicity. We don't want this to become a major distraction. We don't want to create an appearance of conflict within the organization. I get it. But her brother don't play. Hello, who's this? Hello?
Starting point is 01:35:33 Yo, so I worked in labor relations for one of the local teams here in Calais. Okay. And he probably does have a moral applause. That's it. Now, I'm going to blame the sister. I'm going to blame the girlfriend because the girlfriend is lame for even posting that shit on the gram and giving him in trouble.
Starting point is 01:35:59 Hey, stop cursing, man. Knowing you a girlfriend and you're not a wife. Right. Let's define you. Are you in a committed relationship? Are you engaged? like things happen so for her to even go on the gram
Starting point is 01:36:15 or go on whatever social media platform she went on and like put him on blast and put your dirty laundry in the street that's like that's heck of lame but yes in these contacts I work in labor relations in these contracts with these NBA players
Starting point is 01:36:32 there are expectations of them having a moral compass and not shedding the organization at a intuitive light and making sure that they are holding themselves to a standard of moral conduct and yes you can't be terminated for that it's just that but i don't like you saying that you know just because they're not married uh you know just because she's a girlfriend because what if she let him hit raw and she didn't ate his boonkey and now she's pregnant ew that's that's her problem
Starting point is 01:37:00 those are choices come now we're doing i'm mad at the girlfriend i'm a lot hit eating boonkey that ain't that you ain't married to. Right. That's the moral of the story. Damn. You better put the lock and the face thing on your phone is the moral. I think the moral story is exactly what that young woman said. Like I said earlier, man, there's a difference between, you know, legal standards and professional judgment from an organization. And, you know, we don't know what type of moral clauses that organization had in place. But I do know that none of these organizations want this type of negative publicity. It's just really that simple. I don't think that she was.
Starting point is 01:37:38 went in his phone. I think she had, I think she got into his Instagram. I don't think she went into his phone. I think she got his Instagram. They don't want the negative publicity. They don't want the distraction. They don't want, you know,
Starting point is 01:37:48 to create their appearance of conflict within the organization. And it's just an announcer. But now he got a lot of time to be in love. That's what I'm saying. He just an announcer. Why he got to be fired? Still, he's a TV announcer.
Starting point is 01:37:57 He's been there for two years. It's a huge story. It is. It's a counselor. It's trending across Google right now. Jacob's Toby is trending across Google right now. That's right. You don't ever see San Antonio Spurs

Starting point is 01:39:14 me on with all of them over the last year or so is amazing to see all them jump on the track together it's fired and it's on your album yes I'm glad you really be listening thank you appreciate that
Starting point is 01:39:26 all right I want to get into this first record I'm excited about you know dinner party Robert Glass for 9th Wonder they're dropping an album this August but the first single just came out it's called If It Ain't Broke I feel like that gives me like
Starting point is 01:39:38 calming it there my time It was way unique. Like the 90s movie, like the love movie. It's like it's opening up. It's like walking. Only you can't get that without Knife Wonder. That's why, you know, who the producer is matters. Like Knife Wonders, life experiences, his age, like the way he came up.
Starting point is 01:39:55 You don't get that feel without a producer like that. And I'm glad he's producing again. Even though he's always been producing, but you know, Knife like to be doing barbecues and cookouts in North Carolina and not being. And in the classroom. He's heavy in the classroom. He's heavy in the classroom. He does teaching and stuff.
Starting point is 01:40:09 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. that. Yeah, Knife got to stay outside. You know, he keep trying to say he's retiring. No. No. Everybody's music always retiring, but never retire. That's true. They do. It's the Jay-Z retirement, you know? But okay, great.
Starting point is 01:40:21 So, yeah, they got an album on the way. Super soulful. Feels good for the summer, so I'm excited about that. This next record is from an artist's name, Danny, who I'm actually new to, but one of my favorite female rappers. I think she's top three for female rappers out right now. Her name is Salimata, and this song is
Starting point is 01:40:37 called Long Acrylics. I like that. Tough. Tough. Like a little left-eyed type of vibe. Like, but just more, you know, sultry. Like, I do like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:47 Her name on Instagram is eat it off me. Eat it off me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that now. She's dope. Like, I love her personality, love her bars. What off her? Huh?
Starting point is 01:40:57 The body, the energy, whatever you want to speak. I don't know. I don't know. With cream, cherries. I bet if it was just something like to eat off me, would be able to guess. No, I wouldn't. If he said it, you would know exactly what he knew.
Starting point is 01:41:09 And I would tell Gia. And I would tell his son Logan, the body slammed his ass and put him on his back. I'm sure Jess be telling you that. So stop it. Your father is officially a fragel mag if you ever tell me something like that. I would tell you. Anyway,
Starting point is 01:41:22 yes, Sali Wanta, she's from Brooklyn. I think she currently living in France right now. But she's dope as hell. She rolls with like Earl sweatshirt and Mike and then like she's down with that crew. But all right. So my next one,
Starting point is 01:41:33 I'm actually keeping it with the ladies. Maya Don just dropped her new project. It's called. Eat it off me. No. You know what? No. But what I will say about this new project, Maya dropped, is that usually she's known for these, like, TikTok-y-type songs.
Starting point is 01:41:52 But she actually got some records on there where she's, like, opening it up and, like, letting us into her world. And she's giving us the bar. So I'm going to start with for the record. And this is off her new album. Yeah, I like that too. Okay, Nala? Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, no, Maya's project is good.
Starting point is 01:42:06 And she still gives you a little bit of both. She gives you some fun records, but she's giving you some. bars on this one. Does she do all her own creative stuff? Like putting together the visual, like the videos. I feel like she do. Yeah, because it's always very in line. Like she knows what she's doing when she drops. Like she knows the story that she selling. That's what I love about her. Yeah. I feel like there's a disconnect
Starting point is 01:42:21 somewhere though. Because Maya is dope. Yeah. I feel like that too. That's why when I don't know her situation no more. Yeah. I mean not like the label could do anything. She was signed that first. But I feel like even when she had the tell for song, right? Yeah, like that song I feel like she was moving heavier than
Starting point is 01:42:37 I didn't even know she had a team. It was her. that when she was putting together her own movements and stuff. And that's what got it, like, going. Like, people, I don't know, I feel like that, too. Like, she don't get the eyes and stuff that she should. Maybe it's a matter of time. I think it is just a matter of time. I think she is indie, so definitely.
Starting point is 01:42:53 It's going to take longer. Tap in. That's right. Yeah. But that don't take away from the greatness. But my last one is going to be Sangal. There's a lot of Sangal fans out there. He's down with the selection crew,
Starting point is 01:43:03 but he's actually doing a project with Massapil, which is cool because he's kind of combining worlds like he usually does with his sets in production but this one is called The Cold his project came out today and it features Baby Face Ray and GT He's from Detroit?
Starting point is 01:43:19 Yeah. Yeah, I can hear that. I like it. Yeah, what's your mind? Nothing, he sounded like somebody Who does he sound like? He sounded like, what's the homie from Detroit name? Real popular Detroit rapper.
Starting point is 01:43:32 And he got... No, no, he came up here. You're talking about the dude, he got locks and... Yeah, he got locks. Skinny little browns. Skinny wrens. I know icewear a vessel.
Starting point is 01:43:39 That's my man. Damn, what's his name? He came up here with another guy before. Not Babyface Ryan. Oh, Skiller? He's on the song. Skilla Baby. Skilla baby.
Starting point is 01:43:47 He sounds like Skillab baby. Okay. Shout out Skila. I mean, the Detroit sound, you know, they got the... They got the sound. Yeah. I like it too. Okay, great.
Starting point is 01:43:55 Well, if you like that, make sure I'll tap into the Sango's new project just came out. It's with Mass Appeal. Mass Appeal.

Starting point is 01:44:26 It's for hip hop Nyland, that was so on brand for you That response You know what I'm doing Yes, it just reminded me of like brown sugar or something Oh my God, I can't escape it It's not on purpose At least you know the words to songs, unlike some people that'll be there.
Starting point is 01:44:40 I'm going and I know the words to some songs. I'm actually sitting next to you night, so you could tell him that I know the words of some songs. Okay, cool. But you know all of them, though. You know a lot of the songs. I don't know all of them because this one's reasonable doubt. Now, if this was blueprint, I'm a little more. Reasonable doubt, there's a few that I'll be able to.
Starting point is 01:44:57 Yeah, I can go in and out of all the albums. Man, shut up. When we come back, we got the people's choice mixed with DJ Envy, even though I don't think that he's actually here to do it. I'm here. I'm just saying. We should start doing that. What?
Starting point is 01:45:09 Let Nilead DJ on Friday. I'm here. He'll be gatekeeping the Friday, boy. No, you remember the last time you said it to somebody? Ah! The latest with Nile was Simone coming up next. No way, we just, but thank you for the shoes and the Monica shoes. It's the breakfast club.
Starting point is 01:45:31 Before we start to mix, shout out to Sprite. Now, Sprite has this thing called the Sprite Living Track List. and it talks about the stories behind the bars at Livingtracklist.Genius.com is brought to you by Sprite. The first artist or the first lyric is, of course. Good morning, everybody is E.J. NV. Just hilarious. Sholomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:45:54 Now, if you listen to the mix today, you know what that means. It is Whole Friday. Unks are going to be outside this weekend. Unk Con, baby. Unk Con starts tonight. Jay-Z's celebration of reasonable doubt. 30 years of reasonable doubt is tonight. 25 years of the blueprint is on Saturday and then Sunday is extra in there.
Starting point is 01:46:12 I heard extra in there's gonna be crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. That's what I might go to. Nah, I wanna go Friday and Saturday. See, I like the specialty shows. Like, I like the fact that it's just reasonable doubt tonight.
Starting point is 01:46:23 I guess from what we know is just reasonable doubt. It might be more. But you would like extra in and see both of y'all. I'm not just, I've never heard. I don't know, is this something about when somebody does a specialty show? And they're like, I'm just doing this album. Or I'm just doing this album. And both those albums are so special to us.
Starting point is 01:46:40 Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint? Like, come on, man. Yeah. So, I don't know. I'm definitely there tonight. Might go tomorrow. All right. Well, I'm near the night with y'all.
Starting point is 01:46:50 I'm excited to see Reasonable Doubt. Like I said, I remember when that album came out. I remember what I was doing. I remember being in the mixtape game. I remember the feeling of everything. I just remember that era, going to Rockefeller, begging for record, begging for freestyles and meeting everybody from G to to Tata to, you name it, Lenny S, to, you know, Biggs, to, I mean, the artists up there,
Starting point is 01:47:12 Beanie Segal and Freeway and Hove and Bleak. And they never took advantage of your thirst the way they did that bad boy, right? Amil was there. There's so many different artists there that, you know, because back in the day, DJs would have to physically go to the record labels to get records. And you would want to be the first to have those records and the first to be in the studios with them. So I would just remember that time and that era. and Rockefeller was probably
Starting point is 01:47:36 Rockefeller and Def Jam but the two labels that show me so much love like they would allow me to do things My two favorite labels of all time are uptown records rest in peace to the late grade Andre Harrell and Rockefeller And when I just watch how Rockefeller has evolved in the Rock Nation and everything
Starting point is 01:47:52 Listen man I don't know how we can't celebrate Somebody like that's what I was telling someone yesterday I'm just like yo man We should be happy that there's a artist We can look to that's almost 60 years old been in the game 30 plus years. Still alive. And still alive and has accomplished all the things that he's accomplished.
Starting point is 01:48:09 A black hip-hop artist is the richest musician in the world. And he did it based off the foundation of his art. How you don't rule for that? I don't get it, man. I don't get it. I love to see it. I love him to push the limits because we've seen artists before them. And he's taking what they've done and even bigger, whether it was run or Big Daddy Kane or L.O.
Starting point is 01:48:33 Cool, Jay. He's the first of his kind. This is our Bruce Springsteen. This is our Bruce Springsteen. This is our Rolling Stones. We didn't have that before. But you know, it's so crazy, you talk about Bruce Springsteen, and you talk about the Rolling Stones,
Starting point is 01:48:45 and people talk about Elton John. They'll talk about all these people that people love. You don't ever hear the fans attacking those artists. They hold them in such high regard, and they support them, and they make sure that they always get. They show them love. That's right. And we don't do that without artists.
Starting point is 01:49:02 And that's my point. We talk about protecting people at all costs. We don't do that. They're going to clip this and say we're glazing, and we are, but I don't care. No, we're not glazing. We celebrate. If you can't celebrate somebody else's success, you won't have no success in your own. I'm with you.
Starting point is 01:49:14 What are you talking about? Tonight I'm going there, I'm wearing my Rockefeller Air Force Ones. I only got one pair, so I'm going to F them up tonight because it's going to be a little rain, but I don't care. Period. I'm wearing my Rockefeller Air Force ones. I'm going to wear my cutoff jeans shorts. I got a couple pairs. Your crop top, rock-o wear shirt from 97.
Starting point is 01:49:30 You got some kucci cutters? I do not have no damn. Cucci Cutsis because that is what they used to call Lord Short, like Daisy Dukes. Oh, oh, you're talking about it. My Ben, I didn't realize they was cut off. He said he's going to dress like one of the girls and to do it again, video. I think
Starting point is 01:49:45 I might wear my Rockefeller, even my windbreaker jacket from back in the day. Oh, that's going to be sling. Or my jersey. One or the other. No, original jersey. The windbreaker. The windbreaker. Okay. It's time to get up out of here. Now, where are you at this weekend?
