Jess lost her voice over the weekend. She was in DC performing all weekend long and lost her voice. She'll be back tomorrow. But let's get right in Frontpage News. Now boxing over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I don't know if you guys seen the fight but Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in Dallas this weekend it was eight rounds it was hard to watch and not because Tyson looks old but because my screen kept buffering and I don't think Netflix was ever a threat. They wasn't ready. They was not ready bro. I had to keep clicking off and clicking back on clicking off clicking back off but congratulations to Mike Tyson, 58 years old. I think they said he made upwards of $20 million. So congratulations to Mike Tyson. What up Charlamagne?
Starting point is 00:06:31 But he lost. He lost but he still made $20 million. I know. He's 58 years old. I didn't. What did you expect? I don't, we're going to talk about it but I didn't like it. He didn't really lose.
Starting point is 00:06:40 He didn't. But the fact that people can technically say that Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson it just doesn't sit well in my spirit. That means nothing when Mike Tyson is 58 years old. And furthermore I love Mike Tyson but we not gonna sit here and act like you know Mike Tyson's regular boxing career ended with such a great ended in a blaze of glory. It did not. Mike was getting beat up a lot his last few years. There's such a new generation of people that come with the Jake Pauls that don't even know that. They just know the legend Mike Tyson and now they know he got beat by Jake Paul.
Starting point is 00:07:11 He's 58 years old. That wasn't a beating. No, I wouldn't call that a beating. That's 58. He wanted to fight. He landed 19 punches, guys. Literally. Mike Tyson landed 19 punches. Please remind the people because it was online talking crazy
Starting point is 00:07:27 I don't even like to see people talk like that about the OGs. It was buffering for a long time. I had to click out Was yours messing up? It was but not by the time Mike came on. All right Well the Saints last night some NFL Saints beat the Browns the Colts beat the Jets Packers beat the Bears Vikings beat the Titans Lions destroyed the Jaguars The Packers beat the Bears, Vikings beat the Titans, Lions destroyed the Jaguars, Jesus 52-6, the Rams beat the Patriots, Seahawks beat the 49ers, the Bills beat the Chiefs, nice game, great game actually, Broncos beat the Falcons, Steelers beat the Ravens, the Chargers beat the Bengals, and tonight the Texans will beat the Cowboys at 8-15. Salute to the Lions too, if the Lions don't win the Super Bowl this year I'll be surprised.
Starting point is 00:08:02 But don't listen to me, I've been saying the Dallas Cowboys going to Super Bowl the last 26 years. That's facts. What do I know? All right. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning, y'all. I really want to play around, but we've got some serious news to get into.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Multiple reports indicate that President Biden is allowing Ukraine to strike Russia with US-made long-range missiles. Now Reuters reports Ukraine plans to launch strikes in the coming days. This comes after news of North Korean soldiers arriving at the front to fight alongside Russian troops. Now, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been requesting permission to use the US-supplied weapons. All that stuff we've been sending over there, he's been asking for permission to use the US-supplied weapons to strike deep inside Russia for months. And apparently the reports say that President Biden is allowing those to happen. So we should
Starting point is 00:08:50 be looking out for those strikes in a matter of moments and a matter of days. The White House has declined to comment on these reports elsewhere in international news, President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping met for the third and final time over the weekend. The pair spoke at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Peru, where Biden emphasized competition and cooperation and spoke more about the importance of the relationship between America and China. Let's hear more from President Biden on that.
Starting point is 00:09:18 These conversations prevent miscalculations and they ensure the competition between our two countries will not veer into conflict.S. relationship remains unchanged. Now President Chi told Biden that China's goal of a stable healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged. He added that China is ready to work with the new US administration and maintain communication expand cooperation and manage differences. This comes as President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to impose a 60% tariff on Chinese goods which America would have mercy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Now, speaking of the president elect, the countdown is on for his return to the White House as he continues to nominate and make appointments for his forthcoming administration. Donald Trump is nominating Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy. Wright is the CEO of fracking company Liberty Energy. He made the announcement over the weekend saying that Wright will be a key leader driving innovation, cutting red tape and ushering in a golden age of American prosperity and global peace. Wright's nomination will likely face staunch opposition from environmentalists.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Trump has also chosen Stephen Chung to serve as White House Communications Director. Chung has served as his top press aide for his campaign for two years and was a top communications official for UFC at one point. his top press aide for his campaign for two years and was a top communications official for UFC at one point. And he also Trump also selected Carolyn Levitt to serve as White House press secretary who at 27 years old will be the youngest press secretary in all of American history. Do we got time for one more? Because y'all talk so much about the fight. I do. I hope we understand what the cost of goods in America is going to be if Trump puts 60%
Starting point is 00:11:07 tariffs on things coming from China. That's why I never understood all the, I voted for Trump because of the economy talk. That is going to cripple the economy. We have to pay for that. Yeah, because it's things that we don't make here that we have to get imported. If it's 60%, that's going to be a lot of money. That means a lot of the things that you get that you just think is normal and cheap is gonna be expensive as hell.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And I did have a question. Russia has to ask permission to shoot the missiles that we already gave them? No, the Ukraine. I'm sorry, Ukraine has to ask permission for the missiles we gave them? Yes, because technically it would be like we have, you know, blood on our hands because it's coming from us. But yeah, they need permission. And according to reports, recent reports,
Starting point is 00:11:47 Biden has officially given them permission to all things. Putin's probably laughing. Putin's probably laughing because he's like, all good. Wait until my guy gets one. Wait until my guy gets it. New year, new me, boo. New year, new me. All right.

Starting point is 00:26:37 So there was a ton of people online, like, very upset. I was one of the people that I felt like, why even get in the ring with Jake Paul? Like, you're Mike Tyson. Why do it? There was people saying it's 20 million dollars, right? He walked out of it He stood tall tall 58 years old with a 27 year old regardless of who the 27 year old was And he said it was a victory to him.

Starting point is 00:27:02 He's 58 years old what they did in that ring is exactly what I thought was gonna happen they played around danced a little bit everybody go home cash a check could you check could you tell when he kind of like backed up a bit though like I said yeah in the second he first of all he was gassed out in the second round yeah okay by the way I knew it wasn't gonna be much of nothing when I saw Mike in the locker room with his cheeks out yo let me tell you first of all when he what's the cheeks out have to do with it, when he slapped Jake Paul in that, uh, remember that, what's the thing when they face off before the fight?
Starting point is 00:27:29 The way it felt like reparations. And then I was, so I was a little excited. It felt good to see him get that look in. It felt, yes, it felt great. And then, no, but then I saw the booty out. Let me tell y'all. This is the conversation. Mike, is this what boxers do? Well, is the conversation That's the oldest Mike looked all night by the way
Starting point is 00:27:50 Everybody talk about how old he looked in the ring know that that's the oldest he looked all night Cuz if that wasn't some old man walking around the nursing home winning the pool stop cuz he forgot to put his pants on Yeah, but how do you do an interview with him like that though? Like how did why did the camera man do that? Camera man, why don't freaky ass camera man had to go? Why did they pee down like that though like how do you why did the cameraman do that? Why the cameraman? Why the old freaky ass cameraman had to go the whole way like that? Freaky ass cameraman? No but in the video he just walks back here and no one even looks down. Nobody says nothing. How can you do an interview with a straight face? I would have never been able to not look down like oh shoot the booty's out. But how can you do an interview straight face with his ass out like that? Man bring the booty to the fight. I've been laughing the whole time.
Starting point is 00:28:21 The booty and Mike walked away with that 20 million okay? All them people in the locker room not even freaking um telling Mike to put some pants on it's like the movie just lives there is the booty's house too but I just want y'all to know that being that I was born in 1978 Mike losing that 58 does not hurt at all okay watching Mike lose in his 20s and 30s that hurt way more okay I'm from the generation I watched Mike Tyson lose the Buster Douglas we watched him him lose the man, the Holyfield twice. We watched him lose the Lennox Lewis. We watched him lose the Danny Williams. We watched him. We watched the white boy named Kevin McBride beat on Mike so much that Mike didn't even decide to answer the bell after the six round. Well, I'm from the
Starting point is 00:29:00 generation. Got the booty. Okay. We've been watching Mike show that we've been watching Mike show that okay well I do want to mention that Mike Tyson did speak out after the fight he said that this was one of those situations where he lost but he still won he's grateful for the fight that night he has no regrets in the ring that one last time he almost died in June he had eight blood transfusions lost half of his blood and 25 pounds while in the hospital so he had to fight to get his health to be able to fight so he feels like he won he said to have his children see him stand toe to toe and finish eight rounds with a talented fighter half his age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy Stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for thank you hashtag Paul Tyson
Starting point is 00:29:39 now we do have uh Jake Paul talking about after the fight talking about how he did take it easy on Mike Tyson let's listen you were working the jab really talking about how he did take it easy on Mike Tyson. Let's listen. You were working the jab really well. At any point did you start to take your foot off the gas just a little bit because you knew he was tiring out? Yeah, definitely. Definitely a bit. You know, I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't
Starting point is 00:29:59 need to be hurt. Did you feel Mike's power at all? No. He hit you at one and you give him the tongue I only because the crowd like got turned up, but it didn't actually hurt No one's punches have like really hurt. I got buzzed a little bit against Tommy Fury, but that's about it Jake Jake could have hurt Mike if he wanted to but he decided to carry him. I mean Mike Tyson landed 19 punches I don't even can't't believe we're talking about this like it's a real fight. Jake Paul won a decision to Mike Tyson in an exhibition match and Mike is 58 years old. It was
Starting point is 00:30:30 entertaining. I cut it out. It was entertaining. Well up next for Jake Paul it may be I mean he tried to call out Connor again which he's been doing for some time saying you know he wants to do it MMA style with him but Gervonta and Jake Paul had a back and forth. Jervonta posted to the bozo that shared the ring with Mike, you a whole bozo for this and you didn't get the job done with the poop emoji head. Oh, poop head. Okay. Yes. So, Jervonta, Jake Paul was actually responding to Jervonta in a post interview
Starting point is 00:31:02 as well too. Let's take a listen to that. You called out Canelo in the Ring Javante Davis just posted that he would beat the brakes off of you if you guys fight Yeah, I mean I'll be down Let's run it like I'll be super super down. I don't know. I don't know if Javante needs Jake Paul. Let's be clear, right? Is there a is there a height limit in boxing? What about you uncountable correct there are you interested in that yeah he'll never do
Starting point is 00:31:28 that though he knows he knows way way one he's under contract and he's not his own boss what's the weight difference between Jake and your body Jake don't need to fight no tank he was different what's the huge how much 70 80 pounds and 80 pound I got my money on tank. Tank, nah, I don't need to see no tank. Tank will beat the brakes, the wheels, the engine, the alternator, the transmission on Jake Paul. I don't even want them out there.
Starting point is 00:31:52 You're not going to do that fight. You're not going to do that fight. I don't care what the weight difference is. First of all. He wouldn't do that fight. He wouldn't do that one. I hope not. He wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:32:00 I don't care what the weight difference is. Gervonta Davis is beating every part of the car off Jake Paul. Okay? It ain't not just the brakes. I don't care what y'all say. Every part of the car is crazy Paul. It ain't not just the brakes. I don't care what y'all say. Every part of the car is crazy. I don't care how much more he weigh. Man, why you got that picture of Mike Tyson cheeks hanging up in hell? Put that down.
Starting point is 00:32:13 I'm from the generation. This is what you mean. Why not? If that's how y'all remember Mike, that's how y'all choosing to remember Mike. If Netflix can show it, I can show it today. They not do it. You know what that reminds me of? You're trying so hard not to look over here. That movie, Idiocracy. The booty dude. I can show it today You know that reminds me
Starting point is 00:32:27 Idiocracy You haven't seen the movie Idiocracy and in the movie there's a movie that's like the biggest movie in the world and it's just Called ass and it's just a set of cheeks sitting on the screen. I ain't never seen it. Yeah No, well, we live in it enough Watch that movie one day with Maya Rudolph and uh Luke Luke Wilson, I think. I don't remember. This is the era of the booty dude. Alright, well that is just with the mess. Alright, now when we come back we got front page news.

Now also, I don't know if you guys seen, Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in an 8 round heavyweight
Starting point is 00:33:45 match in Arlington, Texas at the AT&T Stadium. Meant nothing. High paid exhibition match, gave social media something to chat about and most importantly Mike didn't get hurt. Knocked out. And he's 58, guys. 58 years old. He made 20 million, right?
Starting point is 00:33:58 Up to 20 million they say? Probably a little bit more. I mean, I know 20 was his purse. Right. But I think he probably made a little bit more on the back end. Well, salute to my speaking of back ends. I'm just kidding. What's up, Morgan? Nah, don't bring me in on the back end. Good morning, y'all. Envy, Charlovene, and Lauren, how y'all feeling? Y'all good? Yes. Yeah. Good. All right. Well, let's get into some political news. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:34:25 needs to find out why its message wasn't resonating with working class voters in this election. Now Jeffries told NBC, NBC's Meet the Press, the country's economic hardships have undermined faith in the American dream and Democrats are committed to addressing those concerns moving forward. He also addressed and praised Harris for her run. Let's hear more from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. It's been under assault for decades for a wide variety of reasons. Poorly negotiated trade deals, the outsourcing of good paying American jobs,
Starting point is 00:34:56 the decline of unionization, and of course the rise of automation. The deck has been stacked against the American middle class and those who aspire to be part of it. We recognize that and we have to deal with it decisively. I think she ran with it and did the best job that she could under incredibly challenging circumstances in a little over 100 days. She came close but we fell short. Yeah I mean listen I agree Kamala Harris did a great job but I mean one of the main reasons you know That Dems don't connect with the working class is because the language of politics is dead and Democrats have not realized that yet for whatever reason I've been saying that for the last couple of years
Starting point is 00:35:35 I wrote about it in my new book get on it to die line I have a whole chapter called the language of politics is dead and Democrats play it too safe And by the way, Hakeem Jeffries is an example of that too because you know, he plays it safe because he wants to be elected speaker of the house one day as well. So he plays it safe too. They all play it too safe
Starting point is 00:35:53 because they wanna be in positions. What about Gavin Newsom? He's entered the chat. Any thoughts on him? Listen, there's a lot of Democrats I like. I don't know if I necessarily like Gavin Newsom yet. I like Josh Shapiro. I like Gretchen Whitmer. I like Wes Moore. I don't know about Gavin Newsom yet. I pay
Starting point is 00:36:09 him attention. I like some of the moves he makes media wise. Like I like the fact he goes on Fox News. I like the fact he has his own podcast with Marshawn Lynch. But I don't know. I don't know about Gavin Newsom. People was on his body though. People was hype for him for a little bit. Speaking of California Governor Gavin Newsom, he is reflecting on the presidential election result. He spoke about it on his podcast, Politikin, saying while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris, he was in a Democratic Party bubble.
Starting point is 00:36:35 He says that's the reason why the party was so enthusiastic coming into the election. Let's hear more from Newsom. Look, we got shellacked. And so you don't really have a sense of what's real and what's not. The crowds are organized. The crowds are enthusiastic, but it's a bunch of Democrats. You're going to coffee store where you know the owner is a Democrat and a supporter of Democrats in the past. So there's this false sense when you're out there as a surrogate on half a campaign. So you don't pick that up. That says that rather than campaigning in a campaigning in a bubble, he should have campaigned direct,
Starting point is 00:37:07 not to loyal, excuse me, but the party should have done what Donald Trump did and speak directly to people who usually vote for the other side. So he's saying that the Dems should have went straight to the Republicans and tried to vie for votes. I feel like the whole party was kind of in a bubble. I said that numerous times here on the Breakfast Club, that a lot of the enthusiasm was largely in the party. But I disagree with him. Like, she was campaigning with Liz Cheney talking directly to conservatives for the last couple of
Starting point is 00:37:34 weeks. And a lot of people say that was a mistake. They said she should have been trying to energize the base more. Because when you look at 2020, I think what Biden had with 81 million people come out and vote. Yep. The vice president had 74 million. So that's a lot of people who I guess decided to stay home for this election. You know what I mean? So I think she should have been talking to her base more, because she talked to conservatives.
Starting point is 00:37:55 She thought they can't pay them with Liz Cheney. Right. Well, speaking of those who did reach out to their base, US Senator-elect Ruben Gallego out of Arizona believes he was able to win in Arizona because he spoke to the economic concerns of voters in an interview with CNN State of the Union. The Democratic congressman said he was victorious in the state. Vice President Harris lost in this election cycle because he had broader appeal among working class voters. Let's hear more from Senator elect Ruben Gallego.
Starting point is 00:38:21 What we need to do is make sure people understood that I felt what they had felt, because I grew up poor. I understood what they were feeling. So we went everywhere, everywhere in Arizona. We spoke to everybody, Democrats, Republicans, Independents. You can have all the graphs you want. If you open up your checking account and you see that you're making less
Starting point is 00:38:39 and there's not enough coming in, it doesn't matter what the GDP growth is. So you have a lot of Ivy League candidates that hire Ivy League Latinos that don't actually come from a working class background. And most Latinos are actually working class. And sometimes we don't want to hear what they're saying. So Diego says he thinks that some Democratic campaigns weren't listening to what voters were actually concerned about.
Starting point is 00:39:01 And that would be the reason as to why they lost. So the speculation continues as Dems rally to figure out what's going on on their side. Yeah, in case you missed it on Friday, the family of Malcolm X announced they are suing the federal government. Three of his daughters filed a lawsuit on Friday claiming that the CIA, FBI, DOJ and NYPD played a role in the civil rights leaders assassination in 1965. They all say the agencies were aware of credible threats against his life leading up to the assassination, but did nothing to stop it.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Civil rights attorney Ben Crump announced the filing on Friday and here's what he had to say. Officially announced the filing of our $100 million lawsuit against the United States government, the FBI, the CIA, and the NYPD, who we believe all conspired to assassinate Malcolm X, one of the greatest thought leaders of the 21st century. We're not just making history, but we're making a path for justice. We believe a precedent and setting path for justice for those who have been denied justice by the American legal system for far too long.
Starting point is 00:40:26 So the lawsuit also claims the former head of the FBI directed federal agencies to illegally surveil Malcolm X and the family is seeking more than $100 million in damages. All right. I hope they get it. Hope they get it for sure for sure. By any means necessary. No, let me stop. Okay. That's your front page news I'm Morgan would follow me on social at Morgan media
Starting point is 00:40:49 Morg y and me DIA and for more news coverage follow us at black information network download the free I heart radio app and Visit us at BIN news.com. Have a great week. Let's go Monday. Let's get it. That's right I and when we come back shine will be joining us his, his documentary, The Honorable Shine will be released today, and we gonna talk to Shine when we come back, so don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club,
Starting point is 00:41:20 we got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. We have Shine, welcome brother. I'm so happy to be here. Happy to have you here man. Happy to be Happy to have you here man. I feel great. You know, we got this documentary coming out on Hulu And I believe that you know the journey that I've had My 46 years are very inspirational. Mm-hmm And I believe that you know part of wanting to get this story told now is that I have so much more to go and do.
Starting point is 00:41:46 So, the next phase of my life is becoming the Prime Minister of Belize and that's going to be an entirely different story and narrative as to how well I do as Prime Minister. And so, I think it's a very timely story. I want to go back, if you don't mind, for Shine. So, your mother came here from Belize and you guys moved to Brooklyn and you fell in love with music. Tell us about when you started rapping and how you ran into you know Rest In Peace Clark Kenton. How that kind of cumulated your whole rap career and why you wanted to become a
Starting point is 00:42:20 rapper. So you know my pops was a DJ. That's the only thing I have over him because obviously, you know, he was a prime minister for three consecutive terms, a retired parliamentarian for over 30 years. And I said, you know, I might never be able to compare to you as prime minister, but you can't compare to me as a musician. Right. He was a DJ. So you know, being a musician was innate. It was my DNA, my genetics.
Starting point is 00:42:43 And you know, I listened listened a lot of dancehall music obviously being from Belize heavily influenced by you know Chaba ranks that's what they used to call me my name used to be Chaba because I always had the baritone and I knew every single Chaba song. Did you feel insulted when they first started calling you Chaba? Nah it was a compliment. He told my cousin look. You know what I mean? Nah, nah, nah. Remember when Marlon Williams did Mr. Ugly? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta respect our African brothers. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Melon is popping, but we gotta respect the licensing guys. That's right, that's right. Yeah. Watch your mouth. But so, yeah, so my life was filled with music and when I used to deliver messages as a messenger boy, that's when it really intensified. You know it was like I guess a blessing from God. I almost died.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I made a promise to my moms to straighten my life out. And I guess that was kind of my blessing. Why did you sign with Bad Boy? Because at the time, every label wanted to sign you. Everybody offered you money. Def Jam, Loud, Bad Boy, I think they said even Rockefeller. They all offered you money, but you decided to go, Bad Boy, I think they said even Rockefeller, they all offered you money, but you decided to go with Bad Boy,
Starting point is 00:43:47 which at the time could've been a little weird because you sounded like Big a little bit. Yeah. And people didn't know if that was your real voice or if that was a voice that was made up, but. Yeah, Puff was trying to replace Big, trying to find another Big. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:01 I mean, you know, I was so hot that nobody was thinking about that, you know, because I really went through it. So now this is August, I got with Don Poo and them. I didn't sign to Bad Boy until like February of 98. So 97 in August, it started. But you know, I had rap for Puff. He was like, yeah, you nice, you know, but I got to teach you how to make hits.
Starting point is 00:44:21 That was over the phone. Pitch put me on the phone with him. You know, I gave Jay Jay Z my tape. He threw it out the window. Is it true when you first met Jay you asked him if he had his gun on him? Yeah, I was a wild boy. Why'd you ask him? That's the mentality. We street guys and that's how confident I was that my music was incredible
Starting point is 00:44:41 and that I was willing to risk my life. You used to wear two guns on you. Well that was that particular night. I had gotten shot at. There was a shootout in front of daddy's house literally like 30 days before the club of New York situation happened. That was with Junior Muffin. And after that shootout that's when I started carrying because once I got into the industry
Starting point is 00:45:01 I had kind of forgotten about that life because you know, you're in the industry, like this is a fairy tale, this is a fantasy, but that was like a rude awakening, you know, respect to the mafia and rock and a season everybody, you know, it's all love now. But um... Would that shoot up because you sounded like me? You know, that's not the way that it unfolded because we used to all be cool, but you know, I don't know exactly what drove it
Starting point is 00:45:26 because there was a point where everything was good. Like we was on tour together, we used to hang out, but when Lef, we recovered that because when Seize came to Rikers Island, I took care of him. You'll see all that in the documentaries and the documentary. And it's been love ever since. I went rock, I went D-Rock, went upstate,
Starting point is 00:45:44 made sure that my guys that guys and we're with him Everything was good. All these stories are in the dark. Yeah, okay Now he was also telling us why you decided to go with so puff was the hottest thing on planet earth But you know the numbers that they were talking it's crazy Unprecedented the numbers that Def Jam was talking so I was like man, you know as a business They was giving me everything like I was just making up stuff You know So I was like, man, you know, as a business, they was giving me everything. Like I was just making up stuff. You know, I would just just test it.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Because obviously being with Puff is what I thought was the best thing. But it was too, the numbers they were talking, the ownership, publishing, everything, whatever I wanted, they were prepared to give me. And so we flew back to New York. And I went to the St. Regis Hotel, waiting for the deal to close. And I woke up one day and I was like you know what I called Mark Pitts and I was like let's do the deal with Diddy and the reason I did the deal with Diddy I never forget I had a meeting with Jimmy Ivey and he said listen come to
Starting point is 00:46:34 me if you want to be your own boss you know I want self-contained people I want you to have your own death row your own aftermath I don't want to micromanage you but I knew I wasn't ready for that. You know, yeah, I was a young kid, I had a lot of confidence, I had a lot of skills, right, but I wasn't self-contained. You know, I wouldn't even know how to put the infrastructure together to run a company at that time. So for me, it was about getting the blueprint, getting the manual, getting the key to unlock
Starting point is 00:47:02 the holy grail from someone who had it. So you signed with Diddy Yeah, you sound like Biggie the love that you thought you were gonna get I don't think you first received because at first it was like is he trying to sound like Biggie? Is he doing that with his voice? It sounded like yourself, which you know, people say sound like big was that good? Was that bad? Was it bonus? Was it difficult? Well, remember I didn't come into the industry like that I came into the industry with everybody wanting to sign me thinking that I was nice. I think the entire comparisons came about because I wasn't putting out music
Starting point is 00:47:34 that met the benchmark of greatness and excellence and the reason I wasn't doing that is because I was an 18 year old kid who just got a million dollars. So I went from sleeping on my mom's couch, I literally never had my own room. As a kid that's how poor we were. My mom's never, my grandmother and my aunt, as most immigrant people from Caribbean do initially, and we was never able to get out of that. So going from literally your couch, the living room is your bedroom. I never had money to go to school. I never had much
Starting point is 00:48:05 to getting a million dollars. I spent like the entire 98 just running around. That's how I got the name Po. I was actually dating a woman. She was a music executive who used to date Al Po. She was the one that called me Al Po because she thought I looked like him and I was wild. I used to do the same thing, pull up in the 600, just hop out, just leave it in the middle of the street. I was a wild boy. I was living, I used to do the same thing, pull up in the 600, just hop out, just leave it in the middle of the street. I was a wild boy, I was living this fantasy of a young inner-city youth with a million dollars in the entertainment world with my future in front of me that seemed unlimited in its potential, but I lost focus.
Starting point is 00:48:42 So when music did come out, it wasn't sounding the way that it was supposed to sound. Alright we got more with Shine when we come back so don't go anywhere it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with Shine now there was a rumor that you were forced to sign with Bad Boy but was that true or was that your decision? Listen everybody wanted to sign me whatever I wanted you know tens of thousands of dollars every week waiting to sign the deal so yeah Kobe was on the bench when he came into the league right people don't talk about that and Kobe
Starting point is 00:49:20 had Phil Jackson and that's how Kobe became Kobe. So for me I wasn't ready to be a coach player and again say what you want about Puff but the things that he's accomplished in music and entertainment space and in his entrepreneurship it'll be it'll live forever. And interestingly enough even though that's why I came, ego got the best of me when I got that million dollar because I thought I was Puff. So I'm telling you there's enough, even though that's why I came, ego got the best of me when I got that million dollar because I thought I was puff. So I'm telling you, there's stories, I can't say who, but there's stories like of his main
Starting point is 00:49:52 girl that I was dealing with because I thought I was that guy. I really thought it was about me. At the time? Yeah, in 98. Like I got on. You were dating J-Lo? I got on. You were dating J-Lo?
Starting point is 00:50:04 No, not her. I'm just saying. Okay, okay. I can't say who. Alright, gotcha. But not her. But at the time I got on in 98 and instead of getting in the studio and getting the information I was living the life and so that caused a strain between him and I because he was like like who does this kid think he is? Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this, start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
Starting point is 00:50:34 I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of La Donia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capriburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Montonia.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Be part of a great colonial tradition. Well, why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with the black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:51:03 What is that? Bullets. Bullet God. What is that? Bullets. Bulls. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.

Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning into Historical Records, because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And there's even situations like with Mace. Mace was dating a girl and I started dating a girl and that caused like a big thing. We had to have like a family meeting and it was like, yo, what are you doing? You know, you're like Kobe coming to the Lakers and you know you want to go after Shaq's joint like you can't do that and that's what I was on for 98 I wasn't focused and it wasn't until 99 after that same girl this is the girl that was also seeing Mace she's you know she's
Starting point is 00:55:57 selling millions of records she had like the biggest record that year and Brandy and she said the documentary is in the documentary called Kent Sensen with this, called Best of Soul and we had an argument and she said yo you're nobody. She said that's you? Yes. You're nobody. You ain't sell one record. You think you styling you think you're that you're nothing you ain't sell one record you think you style and you think you're that you're nothing You haven't sold a record and that hit me like the hand of God just slapped me back into reality Because she was she was telling the truth. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like what I wasn't there to date You know R&B divas and pop divas and you know look fly
Starting point is 00:56:41 I was there to make hit records and I wasn't doing that and that shook me up and I was like yo what puff at? alright you know I carry you bags you know let's get in the studio and that's what we did so an entire 99 you know I was in the gym I was in the studio and that's how we made bad boy so so I have no regrets about signing to Bad Boy. I got everything that I came for. Didn't expect that I'd get a 10 year sentence out of it. I always wanted to know, when you did come out, it was always said that Puff himself
Starting point is 00:57:17 didn't get on the stand and snitch but witnesses he put on the stand cleared him and pointed at you. Absolutely. Not that they didn't just clear him, they lied. Because even today, I'm still not saying anything to get him in trouble. Right, you said you didn't see the shooter. Right, the victim says Puff shot her. And I'm still saying here and now and I've said in interviews, if he did shoot her, he
Starting point is 00:57:39 was defending himself. It wasn't intentional because people were trying to kill us that night. Now the person that y'all alleged got into the argument with, they were saying that the issue was with you and him, maybe you were signed to him before, owed him money, that was a story. I don't know what type of drugs Flex is on or what type of mental breakdown he's having but that is absolutely untrue. Everything that I'm saying now, I've been saying. It doesn't mean that I didn't forgive Diddy and move on.
Starting point is 00:58:10 But when Lil Rod puts a suit out saying that Diddy is bragging about shooting up the club and making Sean take the rap, that changes things. And then you're looking at it like, okay, well, is he just saying that? Then the guy that little Rod said was Carrying the drugs for Diddy on the planes they get them at the hangar and the guy got the drugs on the plane It gets arrested by the feds so then you're like okay Well if he wasn't lying about that maybe he is telling the truth How do you forgive that though sitting ten years in the box knowing?
Starting point is 00:58:42 Diddy's whole thing with Bad Boy and all the artists will say that is it was all about family, right? That's what it was sold on. It was family. We all a family. We're all together. We all in this together. But when Ish hit the fan, it was no family.
Starting point is 00:58:54 It was every man for themselves. You get out and you forgive him. No, I didn't forgive him right away. If you notice when I got out, I was attacking him too. It was one of the most erroneous strategic moves that I made because I was fighting with Diddy, I was fighting with 50, I was fighting with Drake, I was fighting with Rick Ross. I was literally, I was like Samson, you know, pushing the pillars to collapse on me. So there wasn't an instant forgiveness.
Starting point is 00:59:19 I got out in 2009. There wasn't an attempt at reconciliation until 2012 when I went to Paris to meet him and that was the first attempt at forgiveness but I was still in a place of he owes me he owes me his life he's a billionaire if it wasn't for me he wouldn't have been a billionaire if I would have cooperated with the district attorney he'd have went to jail and heaven knows what would have happened to his career right so that's worth at least a couple million dollars out of the billion that you're worth. And interestingly enough, you know, one of the things that Cassie alleges in her
Starting point is 00:59:54 lawsuit is that when, you know, he would assault her and he would, you know, take her on shopping sprees. And so I saw that in Paris, he spent like a half a million dollars, like in one day shopping for her. You know, after I left. She was around back then? That's 2012. Oh 2012, okay, okay, yeah. 2012. That's what I'm saying,
Starting point is 01:00:13 that was the first attempt at reconciliation after I got out. I got out in 2009, and then it took a couple years before I said, you know, we reached out, I was actually living in Israel at the time, but I felt he owed me something. And so it's like, he probably gave me like 50 racks.
Starting point is 01:00:29 And I'm like, you know, you can't be serious. Like 10 years, 50 racks, like, oh man. Did I hold 10 years you were in jail, he didn't reach out to you at all? He came to see me once and I think I tried to spit in his face in Rikers Island. That's why he didn't come back. I didn't want him to come back. I didn't even want him to come see me. I didn't even know he was coming to see me.
Starting point is 01:00:49 They just brought me down in the lawyer's office. Well, Puff was able to get Scar to help his case, but not yours. And now Scar's... Scar, somebody put him out, but I don't... Yeah, Scar's not here for you to die to gun violence. Yeah, I don't remember, I don't think Scar helped the case. If I remember, I think Scar hurt the case.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Who helped Diddy and hurt me was Sharice Myers. And again, if you go back to my interviews, I said all this, I've been saying all this, it's just the power of Diddy, the power of his celebrity, his iconic status was just so loud and so nobody cared to listen. It was like, yo, you know, you're the mad rapper or whatever. I got business going on with him. But again, Nas was in line when he said, I don't like the way Diddy did Sean with different lawyers. He was telling the truth. Have you ever thought about suing any of the lawyers? I thought about suing Diddy, but like I said, I'm focused on Belize. I'm focused on becoming the next prime minister of Belize.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Again, I can't come up here and not talk about my life in totality. I lost my train of thought with the, when you asked whether Scar helped and I was telling about Sharice Myers. So Sharice Myers was a security guard and I begged Puff not to call her as a witness because as I'm saying now, all these years later, despite Puff not to call her as a witness because as I'm saying now all these years later despite Puff being in federal custody I'm still not saying that he did anything wrong. I'm saying even if he did shoot he was defending himself because we were all defending ourselves. So why would it have been so difficult for him to call witnesses that were saying the
Starting point is 01:02:20 same thing because that's the truth. I wasn't in there being belligerent and acting in a depraved one because that's what I got convicted of, assault for depraveness and that was due to him. That was the most damaging witness and we begged him, Wolf begged him, all of us begged him, yo please don't call this witness, this witness is going to bury me and he called the witness. Why? Why wouldn't he listen to everybody? because he wanted to save himself the strategy is somebody got to go to jail and it ain't gonna be diddy all right we got more with shine when we come back it's the Breakfast Club good morning morning everybody we are
Starting point is 01:02:53 the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with shine of course his doom documentary the honorable shine is out today Charlamagne have you ever spoken to the woman who was shot in the face, Natanya Rubin? Because she's been speaking out recently. No, I haven't spoken to her. You know, I apologize and I regret. I think I did a Kojak. Combat jack. Combat jack.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Rest in peace. Rest in peace. I had done an interview with him and I had extended sorrow that she got hurt. And I said it in interviews that I've done over the last couple of days when asked do I have any regrets? I don't regret defending myself, but I regret that people got hurt and so I said that as far as you know She's concerned. She said it was Diddy. Yes She said Diddy shot her and but we don't know because the bullet fragments were never extracted from any of the victims But definitely there were three guns fired, mine and two other guns.
Starting point is 01:03:47 And you know, she said what she said actually immediately to the doctor. You know, she said I just got shot by Diddy. But then when she got on the stand, she was trying to blame the both of us without blaming the both of us. And now she maintains that it was Diddy. You think she got paid off? You know, I can't speculate. I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 01:04:08 I just know that it was tragic. But you know, like I said, we pivot, we move forward, and that's what I did in the second reconciliation with Diddy, when we reconciled again in like 2020 or 2019. And so that forgiveness was a different forgiveness because I was at a different space Have you and JLo ever had a combo about that night? Yeah, never. Okay. Yeah, I've never seen her since that night Well, the second forgiveness that was a forgiveness of power and strength for my part because that forgiveness came with no price tag That that was a strategic forgiveness. I'm about to be an elected official I wasn't close to being the Prime Minister then,
Starting point is 01:04:45 but I was going to House of Representatives and my mind was just in a different space. And so everything was just, you know, no baggage, nothing that would keep me from soaring to the heights that I wanted to soar. And I already understood who he was. And it was like, you know what, it's just clean with everybody. And even if you saw different interviews that I've done, all the people that I've ever attacked, you know, I've expressed just clean with everybody. And even if you saw different interviews that I've done, all the people that I've ever attacked, I've expressed contrition for that. I was just in a different space. And getting in that space of wanting to help Belize,
Starting point is 01:05:14 I don't want to fight with anybody because I'm fighting for Belize. So this is not about me anymore. This is not about any grievances that I have with anyone. It's like even with your elections, I congratulated President-elect your elections, I congratulated President-elect Trump and I congratulated Vice President Harris because it's about beliefs. I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat and that's how that forgiveness came about because
Starting point is 01:05:35 I knew I would never get anything from him but it wasn't about getting anything from him. Have you really moved on from the Diddy situation because I saw you say on Tamron Hall that you healed from it but then you also say he destroyed your life. And it feels like after he went to prison, you started kicking his back in. I guess it feels like that, but we just went through a chronology. Well, not prison, but jail. No, but we just went through a chronology
Starting point is 01:05:56 of all the things that I'm saying now. I've been saying, number one. Number two, you can't delete the Lil Rod lawsuit and those accusations of him bragging about shooting up the club and making me go to jail. So he never apologized, he never said, yo man, thank you, here's a bag, something he never just said. You know, in Paris he did say, he was like, oh you know, it was the lawyers, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:22 I shouldn't have listened to the lawyers, the lawyers had turned me against you, you know, it was the lawyers, you know, I shouldn't have listened to the lawyers lawyers that turn me against you You know my bad, but the bag never came, you know the 50 I wanted to give the 50 back You know, I was insulted, you know, I just seen you spend a half a million on Cassie in a day It's like man, you know, I did ten years ticket a ticket would have been you know Yeah, that would been a starting point they offered you a deal right? They offered you a deal if you snitched on diddy Absolutely been a starting point. They offered you a deal right they offered you a deal if you snitched on Diddy. Absolutely. I would have walked. I wanted to know in 99 of course with everything going on with Diddy now people would say you were with him for that whole year tight right? Yeah. Was there anything that you seen that looked a
Starting point is 01:06:56 little crazy? You wanted to know if he was in the freak offs. I asked about it. It wasn't called freak offs back then. You wanted to know if you see the baby oil. No absolutely not absolutely not strictly focused on making music. Yeah, no, I didn't see any of that. And none of the violence that people are saying that are coming up in all these things? No, I didn't see any of that. I wanted to ask also, do you still perform? No, no, no. Not even at all? Not even charity events and nothing at all? Well, I did the charity event in the UK with Diddy and gigs and I did the Lifetime Achievement Award, you know those were legacy moments but it's so difficult being an elected official who's not just an elected official but the leader of a mass party government and waiting that you know I just can't find the space to do
Starting point is 01:07:38 that because again you don't want to put out a body of work that's subpar and that's below the standards that people want. Has Diddy's team reached out to you since doing all these interviews? No, no, I think... His team put out a statement though. What does the statement say? It says, Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow's allegations including any suggestion and that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to take the fall and sacrifice him by directing witnesses
Starting point is 01:08:00 to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false. He was acquitted of all charges in 99 and he appreciates the path that you're on and wishes you continued success and it's unfortunate that you've chosen to revisit these allegations. Mr. Combs trusts that responsible journalism will wait both to establish legal outcomes and Mr. Combs' positive law and standard support for those he has worked with. Yeah. Listen, I don't have to tell you what is obvious.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Everybody and beloved mothers knows what happened. That was just a fact. Nas not gonna rhyme about it, just a lie, which in him and Nas became cool after the fact, but there were so many people that were hurt in hip hop that felt that he did me dirty. And it's just a matter of fact that I've been saying it and I'll continue to say it.
Starting point is 01:08:43 I got to ask a couple more questions because you got a whole documentary out that you explained all this stuff. But how can you be comfortable with people who assisted in your career but they were still friends with Puff and they maintained a relationship with him knowing what happened that night
Starting point is 01:08:56 and while you were incarcerated fighting for your life? It was extremely difficult, but as I said, I got to a space where the currency, the capital that I was looking at is how relationships could benefit Belize. So it was having to develop that emotional intelligence to think about the bigger picture and to understand that, you know, in the entertainment business, who's really friends? Who really loves you?
Starting point is 01:09:20 They don't even love Puff. They're really not even his friend. I don't know. You know, and then I moved on. Like I said, I'm not the one, I'm not Little Rod. they don't even love Puff, they're really I'm saying when all these lawsuits came out, I thought about, well, listen, if he owes them 30 mil, then I should get 100 mil out of that billion dollars. But what I'm saying is I was content with the way it was, living my life in Belize, accomplishing the great things that I'm accomplishing, and just moving forward with trying to become the next prime minister of Belize and using all my relationships in the entertainment business to promote and market
Starting point is 01:10:07 Belize and so that's what it was about. It wasn't about oh, yo, you were friends with Diddy while I was locked up You know, I can't be your friend. Listen, we're not here for that. You got love for me? Come visit Belize Buy a condo, you know, build a beachfront resort. Come do a show there. Come talk to the kids, you know Give some laptops. That's how I treated those relationships. Where does God fit in your decision to forgive somebody that the world can now see could have been guilty of all that you accused him of back then? Divine intervention got me to where I'm at today, and I couldn't be where I'm at today without forgiveness. But you keep praying, and that's what the documentary is about.
Starting point is 01:10:45 You keep praying, keep working, you fall, you get up and it's all about analysis, self-reflection, constant assessment, you're constantly evolving and you've got to have the target. The target is to be a good person. The target is to be the best person, best father to your children. You know, God bless my daughter Naomi, you know, the best brother, the best person, best father to your children. You know, God bless my daughter Naomi. You know, the best brother, the best friend, the best everything. And that's a constant. That's every day. You gotta fight for your soul. For me, you can't come without divine intervention.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Well, we appreciate you joining us. The Honorable Sean, the documentary is streaming now on Hulu. And Sean, we appreciate you for joining us. Make sure you come down to Belize. I'm gonna make my way out there. No absolutely I would love to come absolutely ladies gentlemen is Sean it's the Breakfast Club good morning now That interview was an hour in 22 minutes You could definitely hit up the Breakfast Club YouTube page and see that full interview. It's longer than the damn documentary probably yeah All right, but the documentary starts today. It's on right now. That's right on Hulu right now. All right. Well, let's get to just with the best
Starting point is 01:12:01 On the Breakfast Club, the Coacheship with Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. And I got the mess. Talk to me. Now Jess is out. She lost her voice so Lauren LaRosa is filling in. Yes, sir. So we are going to start Jess with the mess for the second hour with a engagement announcement. Who's that?
Starting point is 01:12:21 Megan Good and Jonathan Majors. Okay. Claps, claps, claps, claps. So they revealed this news over the weekend at the Ebony Power 100 Gala. They were on a red carpet and she's flaunting the ring. Let's take a listen to them on the carpet. I heard there was some news that you guys announced. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:39 We engaged. Oh my gosh, I's so exciting. Congratulations. We have to come cover the wedding. On the eve. Run it, run it, run it, run it. We'll drop one of Clue's bombs with Megan Majors. Yes, sir. How that ring look?

And she was definitely walking down the carpet flaunting the ring. OK. Now, people And she was definitely walking down the carpet, flaunting the ring. Now, people were asking her while on the carpet, why did you guys choose to reveal the news
Starting point is 01:13:10 here? And Megan actually said that they specifically chose that event because Ebony Power 100 Gala is the event where they actually met. And they met in the bathrooms. They were in the unisex bathrooms. They met in the bathrooms and they just started talking. And then it's been up with them ever since Oh, who bought the ring because?
Starting point is 01:13:29 Jonathan hasn't worked in a while. I'm just asking so he got some money savings. I hope so Because because there was a Story that came out what a couple months ago You know better than me Lauren about how Megan was paying for. And we know he hasn't worked in a while. So I'm just saying, you don't wanna see him spending his money on things like a ring if he can't necessarily afford it right now. Well, I mean, right, if she is happy,
Starting point is 01:13:53 regardless of who brought the ring, does it matter? I ain't talking about him being happy, I'm talking about his finances. It doesn't. But I'm saying- If she brought the ring, it doesn't matter. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she brought it, yeah, absolutely, it's fine.
Starting point is 01:14:02 It's fine, it's fine. It's their finances, and you know what I mean? If she's okay with that, because he's trying to get back on his feet, because she's been holding him down this whole time. Okay, I'm with that. You see what I mean? Yes, allegedly.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Allegedly. Yes, yes. But no, I mean, but even just from what we see, she's been, you know, she was supporting him through all the trial stuff and all of that, so, you know, she's, and he's thanked her for that, and we've had emotional moments. Because being a working actor is a real thing. It is. And there's highs and lows.
Starting point is 01:14:28 And we're acting like, you know, he had arrived prior to all of this stuff happening. He was still building. You understand what I'm saying? Oh, and he was, when I say, oh, them building blocks was laid too. And then it just, psh. I just hope that he didn't spend his last on a what? On an engagement ring. That's all I'm saying You are in that man pocket when they go together now That's my guy, okay Little shady but we gonna move on what's not shady stop you see this is wrong your generation You always want to put labels on things. That was just a conversation. Oh, that's my legitimate You just asked me I'm talking like I'm talking. That was just a conversation. That's my legitimate question. You just asked me if that man was broke. I'm talking like the unc. I'm talking like the unc.
Starting point is 01:15:05 You just asked me. Cause that's what unc would say. I don't know. You ain't working a while now. I gotta do this when I talk to you. Can you afford that? You just asked me was that man broke? They together.
Starting point is 01:15:13 What dance is that? You never seen the video of Jonathan? I can't think about him and not do this. Y'all never seen that video that's viral of him in the plantation boots. Him in the plantation boots. Jesus Christ. I'm asking concerned questions.
Starting point is 01:15:24 All right. Concerned questions. They're happy. They happy, that's all that matters. I'm asking concerned questions. They're happy. They're happy. That's all I'm asking. I have some concerned questions too, but I'm minding my business because they happy. Oh, okay. Yeah. But anyway, speaking of happy, Kai Sennette, you know his stream that he's been doing has been bringing so many good moments. G Herbo. Kai can afforded engagement Just think about stuff like that my mind says don't let nobody give you know what nickels you need know what you're getting Yourself into that's all you saying right? Mm-hmm. Well, I is not getting engaged But what he actually did was he sat down with G Herbo and your Sean G Herbo son During the stream and they had such cute moments and they also revealed some really touching news
Starting point is 01:16:13 That G Herbo had as well, too But let's take a listen to your Sean and G Herbo because G Herbo had to give him a motivational talk Throughout the stream Take a listen. You get sad? Why you getting sad son? Why you getting sad? My son is really in tune with the nation I'm telling you he a real emotional kid You don't know how to do a speech? Yes you do! Believe son! You know how to do anything you put your mind to

Starting point is 01:17:23 Motivational songs somewhere I can get those ranking for you but um so they put the song on so they could do some motivational conversations and let Yoshon do one and he just kind of like you know had a kid moment and it was so cute to see uh G Herbo dad that whole stream on the stream as well Yoshon gets his ears pierced and he's like super scared and everybody's like encouraging him and tell him just like get through it. Who the hell pissed his ears on the goddamn constant of not screams? Did they have somebody there to put the alcohol on the young man? It was a professional. It's not. That's all you're worried about is just the alcohol in the back of it. Stop playing with G Herbos dad in. Yes.
Starting point is 01:17:53 It was legit. There was like a there were people that can't you know kind of be bringing like professionals on the do so and stuff. Absolutely. Yeah so that happened as well too but then there was a moment where G Herbo was just giving a motivational speech just to like the fans and stuff and he revealed that he lost his father recently.

Starting point is 01:25:54 16 year old at home like I do just learning to drive and she got friends that also 16 But some a little older 17 and 18 and they all driving but haven't been driving long the parental paranoia you feel okay I am NOT in the space where I feel comfortable letting my daughter get in the car with none of her little teenage friends okay in this story ain't helping and I damn sure don't have the heart to let her learn how to drive yet her mother is handling that and driving instructor is handling that daddy nerves bad okay I can't do it I honestly don't know what our parents were thinking when we were younger letting us drive yet here we are now the reason Tristan and his 16 year old friend are getting donkey in a day
Starting point is 01:26:33 because three of the teenagers were taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries because Tristan crashed the SUV he was driving he lost control of the Ford Bronco he was driving and the two young girls were thrown from the vehicle. Thank God they are still alive. Not one of these youngins had on seatbelts. Not one of them. Okay. Now the reason they are getting the biggest he-haw is because Myers first said the accident happened because he swerved to avoid an animal in the road. Understandable and believable because they're committing suicide in our society. But that's not what happened.
Starting point is 01:27:09 See, deputies talked to the teens and Myers was speeding and driving erratically before the crash. He was actually cited for inattentive driving. Now, why do you think he was speeding? Showing off, right? We all did it when we were younger. And why was he driving
Starting point is 01:27:25 erratically what had his attention was he live on Instagram was he live on tic-tac was he attempting to take a selfie was he texting and driving what tick-tock tick-tock so talk was he texting and driving huh no actually he wasn't doing any of those things okay see what had happened was the 16 year old he had in the passenger seat with him,
Starting point is 01:27:47 that 16 year old decided to use a lighter to set Tristan's armpit hair on fire. What? That's right, this little 16 year old took a lighter to Tristan's armpit hair. It's hard for me to condemn people for things that I've thought about doing. What? But it's easy for me to condemn people for acting on it. See there has been plenty of times throughout my life where I've looked at someone's armpit hair and thought to myself, hmm, is that flammable?
Starting point is 01:28:20 Okay, especially when you can see the pieces of deodorant in the armpit hair. I understand the urge to want to roast some marshmallows around a warm arm fire pit But you can't let those intrusive intrusive thoughts win young man. Okay, my whole life has been me Biting my intrusive thoughts. Okay You almost got yourself killed and got other people in the car killed because you couldn't take what was happening under your homies arms anymore. Makes me also wonder Tristan was your musty? Okay was there an odor coming from Tristan's underarms that smelled like the finest of Kush so this young 16 year old felt like it was only right to put a lighter to it? Let's discuss okay because we don't talk about underarms smelling like Kush enough and how? I'm sure canine units get
Starting point is 01:29:10 confused so I can totally see why this young man would set Tristan's armpit hair on fire if indeed he was musty. I'm lying. No I'm not. Please give Tristan Myers and his 16 year old friend the biggest he-ho. This is one of the ones where you have to punish your child because they have to learn that this is unacceptable behavior but it's also one of those ones that you and your wife find hilarious, okay? You just happy nobody is dead.
Starting point is 01:29:38 I mean nobody die after the fact. I mean it's just ridiculous. I pay for that car to get fixed. Ain't funny. I will say this to any parent out there. It is kind of funny. No, it's not you see your man I'm here just sitting there. No, it's not you can think to yourself is I want to set that on fire They must have been high. I was about to say what type of lighter was like even like this one right here Any one of those I can do this right with this all the smoke light I got in my hand look
Starting point is 01:30:01 That's all you need a little bit of flame. Let's see if it works. Especially if you got some deodorant on Let's see if it works need, a little bit of flame. Let's see if it works on you. Especially if you got some deodorant on. Let's see if it works. And you can see a little curl. Let's see if it works on you. Let me see if it work on your wig. Let me see if it work on your wig. Let me get one little screen of that wig. Stupid.
Starting point is 01:30:12 Let me see if I can set fire on five. All right, all right. I wanna tell parents out there, there is a device that you can put on the car. It's not that expensive where you can tell exactly how fast your kid is going. Oh my God. I had it on both my kids' cars when I first,
Starting point is 01:30:25 when they first started to drive. You should go and call them while they're going fast and say, don't go fast. Well, most kids know it's on the car and they know that you get an alert if you do go fast so kids won't go fast. So now kids know that they're gonna get in trouble for something so they don't do it.
Starting point is 01:30:37 When has that ever been a thing? Yes, if you know you're gonna get your car taken away from you if you go over certain miles per hour, yes, you're not gonna do it. Yes, Lauren. What do you mean? What are you doing? What the hell are you doing in Delaware? I can tell somebody didn't get no discipline in Delaware okay there's never no consequences for your actions in Delaware huh? My mom didn't have stuff like that and never let your kids ride with a kid that just got their license just doesn't happen in my household
Starting point is 01:30:59 My mom couldn't wait for us to be independent my best friend's dad actually shout out to Otis my best friend's dad actually used to give us the car way before he was supposed to. I would drive us everywhere, in a truck, in a range. Delaware. We were very independent, leading kids. We were forward thinking. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Yes, indeed. Now, when we come back, Elliot Coney will be joining us. He has a new book out. Change Your Questions, Change Your Future. We're going to talk to him next. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:31:29 The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. We have Elliot Coney. Welcome back, brother. How are you, sir?
Starting point is 01:31:43 I'm doing great. I'm doing very well. Thank you. Man, it's good to see you. You got a new book out now, Change Your Questions, Change Your Future, Overcoming Challenges building we have Elliot Connie welcome man it's good to see you you got a new brief therapy facts what a title yes you know it means I've been a practicing psychotherapist for, I don't know, nearly 20 years and it's been an amazing ride to like watch people heal and overcome like some things that you wouldn't imagine people could heal and overcome and as I sat there on that 20-year journey sitting there front row and watching people grow, I started thinking like what's the commonality?
Starting point is 01:32:23 Like how do people do this?'s the commonality like how do people do this how do people change and how do people overcome challenges and people who are successful and people who are able to achieve things in spite of obstacles have a tendency to ask themselves different kinds of questions so I decided to write a book about like I've written several books but most of them are for professionals but I decided I wanted to write a book about. I've written several books but most of them are for professionals but I decided I wanted to write a book about change and about how people talk to themselves and about how successful people have a tendency to ask themselves different kinds of questions that lead to their success. And when I say success I don't mean like millionaires but I just mean
Starting point is 01:32:57 people that achieve whatever their aim is. It's overcoming addiction or becoming a successful business person whatever it is success is defined by people who set a goal and achieve it. So what is it that makes some people succeed and other people not? And after all these years of practice, they talk to themselves differently and they ask themselves different kinds of questions. What's the most common question that successful people ask themselves? Oh boy, that's a good one. The most common question that successful people ask themselves is, what do I want?
Starting point is 01:33:24 Most people do not ask themselves is what do I want? Most people do not ask themselves. What do I want? Most people spend a lot of time thinking about what they don't want and try to avoid it People who achieve aims and goals are the ones who are able to set a goal and ask themselves Like what is it that I want about this goal? And once you do that you become capable of achieving I tell all the young people that you got to find that one thing that you want to do. When you find that one thing that you want to do and you focus on that, everything else falls in place. I mean, I tell people all the time, you don't get into a taxi cab and the cab driver doesn't
Starting point is 01:33:55 ask you where do you not want to be. Like if the cab driver asks you where you don't want to be, that doesn't give that cab driver any information. The cab driver asks you the single most important question ever, where are you going? And then you answer that question. You would never say, I just want to be not here. You know what I mean? I just don't want to be in the Bronx. You don't ever say that. Cab driver says where you headed, you don't say like not here. That's
Starting point is 01:34:20 just not what, that doesn't help. But think about that. Like most people say, like, I just don't want to feel like this or I don't like this job What job do you want? I don't know just not this one. Well, that's not good enough You have to like you have to really identify what's that thing? I want to achieve what's that place I want to be and who do I want to be in order to become that man? That's so real and that's why like we have these conversations about manifestation. You can't just say, I want to be successful. No. Like, what's the goal?
Starting point is 01:34:48 What's the destination? What you trying to do? That's right. That's absolutely right. You've got to think of the world is like an algorithm that wants to give you what you want, but it will only reward the people bold enough to ask for it and ask for it in great detail. And when you have like
Starting point is 01:35:05 really granular detailed goals you're just significantly more likely to achieve it and here's an example when I was in high school my obsession was to go to college and play baseball like that was my obsession I knew that college was my ticket out of the situation I was in and I wanted to go to college and play baseball so I remember one day I was a freshman and I'm walking to school and a couple of my boys came running up to me and they were like, yo, yo, yo, we just found so and so's dad's alcohol, we're gonna skip school. I was like, no, because future baseball players in college don't skip school and drink.
Starting point is 01:35:38 So I did not do it. And it's like that, like when you have this thing in your head, like a like a guardrail that keeps you on the way to getting those things and just most people don't Then I ask them so they say I want to be successful. I want to be famous I want to be a YouTube star whatever they say but like talking about what or doing what or impacting who like you have to be Specific really so I was gonna ask when you do have to be that specific, right? That means you have to do a lot of work on yourself. Because like Charlamagne said, most people, I don't think, realize what they want. They want to be rich.
Starting point is 01:36:12 Or they want to have a lot of money. They want a big home. They want a nice car. So that requires the work. And I think a lot of people don't necessarily know what they want to do. Like if you ever ask a high school student or a college student or somebody who graduated college, what do you want to do? And usually it's I want to make money. It's literally my job. Yeah, you're right I ask these people all the time. They all say I want to make money. I want to be famous
Starting point is 01:36:32 I want to be an influencer. I want to podcast. I want to podcast But be a rapper But you know always I wanted to ask you as well, you know, we had Dr. Cheyenne Bryant here the other day. Yeah, I saw that. And she was talking about change behavior. Yeah. Opposed to, uh, we were talking about men doing things in relationships. It came from men. So if a man is a womanizer or a man is an abuser, she was saying that she feels like
Starting point is 01:37:03 men don't change. they just shift and pivot. What's your thoughts on that? You saw the clip, right? I saw the clip. First of all, nobody changes, including me. We shift, and that changes our life. And when I say we shift, we shift out of the things and behaviors that don't serve us after we learn,
Starting point is 01:37:18 they're not working. Gotcha. And then we have to learn to manage those. So you would never date a man that cheated before because you feel like he will always be a cheater? Is that what you're saying? I think that's also circumstantial. So I do believe that different relationships bring out
Starting point is 01:37:30 different things in us. I very much disagree with her. When she says, like, people, she said, people don't change it, and respectfully, like, I don't want to talk down about anybody, but therapist beef. No. Therapist beef.
Starting point is 01:37:42 Man, I got enough of that in my field. I certainly don't want that with the good sister Dr. Bryant. I heard her say that like people don't change She was like I don't change it, but that's that is actually not true. So we have to go back to what's the definition of change So like here's an example Recently, I've been taking my health more seriously and I gave up soda fried food candy working out When you do that, my body chemistry is different. If you did a CAT scan on my brain now versus six months ago, it looks different. Like, wouldn't that be definable, noticeable, observable change? And we often use phrases
Starting point is 01:38:17 like you are what you consistently do. So if I change what I consistently do, don't I change who I am and how I show up in this world I think it's a very disheartening thing to say people don't change they shift like what if I've had a really hard life trauma abuse tragedy and I cope with that comma of Trauma abuse and tragedy with drugs and alcohol. Are you saying I can just shift? I can't actually transform and become a healed human and outgrow the problems that plagued my life and led to these addictive behaviors. That's wildly inaccurate.
Starting point is 01:38:52 And you recently becoming a new mother again, you're not the same person as you were before this person. Wouldn't we observe that as change? Absolutely. That's just a different thing. I think she was saying that you have to make these shifts in your life before it leads to actual change. But I don't actually, I don't know that that's that's just a different thing I think she was saying that you have to make these shifts in your life before it leads to actual change But I don't I don't actually I don't know that that's true. I think I think the first step in
Starting point is 01:39:12 Change is it goes back to what we're saying before it's identifying who you want to be and once you identify who you want You want to be then the the next steps become very obvious. Mm-hmm Like you now identify as a mom of two instead of what you were before, which is a mom of one. And at some point in your life, you were a mom of zero. And that's going to impact your choices. So it really starts with how you identify and what you do. So when she said that, I was like, oh man, you know me, sometimes I'm screaming at the computer like, oh. But I just, I really disagree with her. I think the greatest capacity that human beings have is the ability to transform their
Starting point is 01:39:47 circumstances and we do that by the way we identify. We got more with Elliott Connie when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with Elliott Connie. Jess what about if you going back to what we were talking about before Dr. Bryant, what about if you don't know what you want to do? Or what about what if that changes? What if you get into something and then you're like, is this what I really want to do? Or like, how do you get out of that? Because then you can
Starting point is 01:40:18 land yourself in a funk, you can be depressed or, you know, something like that. Right. So I think there's two questions they're like what if you don't know what you want to be I know a really good book that people should read that'll help them identify change your questions change the future by no no but seriously but I mean if you don't know what you want to be you should explore and you should try things and you should ask yourself the kind of questions like like what difference do I want to make in this world what impact do I want to have in this world who do I want to have an
Starting point is 01:40:49 impact upon how do I want to wake up and spend my days and when you ask yourself those types of questions it informs what you want to do I don't want to wake up and like I like to cook right I'm pretty good at cooking I don't want to wake up and serve in a restaurant but I know people who do I want to wake up and help people overcome life circumstances so I became a psychotherapist and the second thing is I don't know that if you end up in the wrong situation you end up in a funk or depressed I think you have to have a realization that I can't discover who I am without trying all kinds of things and then having the boldness to say this
Starting point is 01:41:24 doesn't fit and then having the boldness to say this doesn't fit and Then having the boldness to fight for the things that do like once I decided I wanted to become a psychotherapist It wasn't like the path was easy. In fact, it's been very very challenging First of all, I had to get a master's degree and that required two degrees And I don't know a lot of people in my family or environment where people were getting master's degrees I had to get a license I had to study and work and and then you know when I showed up in the psychotherapy field and I say this all the time and people don't really believe me but when you're in graduate school studying psychotherapy in
Starting point is 01:41:53 2005 there are zero Literally zero African-American faces that you study in those books so do you think the the white status quo in the field was very excited for this black dude to show up and And start writing books and start showing up on stages like it's been a really hard But I know this is my place so you have to have the boldness like this is where I am And I'm going to fight for it and and all three of you in in many different environments comedy business music Radio and television like you've all been wildly successful and I would venture to bet it hasn't always been easy the whole the whole time.
Starting point is 01:42:30 Not at all. And I think that goes back to also the question that we asked like people look at your life or your life or your life and they're like I want to be I want to be just hilarious I want to be a really famous really great comic. With beautiful skin. Thank you. With beautiful skin. Because that's not easy. In a dope new child. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:49 But they do, they look at her life like, oh I want to be like that. And then they start trying to replicate who Jess Hilarious is. But like how many comedy clubs did you work at when there was ten people in the club or you had to drive there and they didn't even pay you gas money to cover it. Yeah, a lot. People don't want to replicate the journey. I want to replicate the outcome That's right But if I want to be just hilarious I have to change my question and ask like what what street did she go down?
Starting point is 01:43:16 To get to the ultimate destination where she got and I've got to be willing to go down that same street And that's not that's not an easy thing to do I'm answer. That's a hard hard road to. In chapter 5 you talk about being difference led what does that mean to be difference led? Yeah like a really really powerful question to ask yourself or in my case when I ask my clients is what difference would that make? So if if I identify that I want to be a I want to have a successful podcast you should ask yourself like what difference will it make in my life? Hmm to have a successful podcast because difference leads to motivation now you have ten jobs, right?
Starting point is 01:43:52 But let's imagine the only job you have is comic and you're tired and you're like, I don't want to get on another plane I don't want to get another bus. I don't want to take another stage But if I were to ask her like what difference would it make if you continue to do that? She's inherently gonna think about these two babies and she's gonna think about my ability to pay for their future the college whatever and that's gonna Increase her motivation to do really hard things for the betterment of her life the betterment of a children room and most people don't think About difference they just think about like on a very surface level that they want and I think we should spend more time thinking about different What would you say to people who are experiencing grief due to Vice President Kamala Harris losing the election? Oh, that's a good question.
Starting point is 01:44:29 I would say honor your feelings. I would say, you know, this is a hard time, depending on what you thought about the election and who you were passionate about or whatever. I would say honor those feelings. But then I would also say turn that grief into action turn that grief into into something you can do the most powerful way to deal with grief is with hope and A powerful way to deal with grief is with honor One really good example is a grief that I've had in my life is my uncle Jeffrey passed away And he was my uncle just to make a super long story really short, I grew up really depressed and anxious
Starting point is 01:45:06 from a difficult childhood and my grandmother in her ultimate wisdom knew that one of the things that would help Elliot feel better is if he knew how much like his uncle Jeffrey he was. You know when you grow up you're super isolated you just don't feel like you belong and my grandmother sent this dude to come hang out with me and I felt like I had a place in this world and I was in Denmark teaching in 2017 and I got this Horrible message on Facebook. I learned that my friend my uncle passed away on Facebook. Hmm, and You know my uncle he was a big kid man and he would have loved all this stuff that's happened like I've
Starting point is 01:45:40 Signed TV deals and got shows in development and books. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this, start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Starting point is 01:46:00 Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of La Donia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capriburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Montonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
Starting point is 01:46:17 No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with the black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with
Starting point is 01:47:26 celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Starting point is 01:47:51 Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 01:48:20 I'm Stephen McFarland, therapist, life coach, change agent, who helps everyone from celebrities, athletes, to ex-gang members through their addictions and help them wake up. In each episode of my podcast, we hear inspirational stories, we draw lessons from those who have made it through their addiction and recovery to a better place, including legendary boxer, heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. I feel like there's always been a calling for you, something higher. I don't know, I always feel that way as well.
Starting point is 01:48:54 But I guess everybody feels they're here for a reason. Yeah, okay. Even if it's to suffer, to help other people understand suffering, it's not as bad as we believe it is. I believe everybody learns from each other. Why are you here? You think they show people that you know anything possible, you don't give up anything's possible. Listen to the CINO show on iHeart radio app,
Starting point is 01:49:16 Apple podcast, wherever you get podcasts. So y'all this is Questlove and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimini, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nymonee here.
Starting point is 01:49:48 I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Flash slam, another one gone. Fast bam, another one gone. The cracker, the bat, and another one gone. A tip, but a cap, cause another one gone. Bash bam. Another one gone. The cracker, the bat, and another one gone. A tip, but a cap, is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure
Starting point is 01:50:10 from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat.
Starting point is 01:50:29 Nine months before Rosa, he was Claudette Goldman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And hanging out with you and doing all kinds of stuff. He would find that stuff
Starting point is 01:50:53 so fun. So the way I deal with the grief is like he's mentally coming along with me for the journey. That that's how I honor him. So we also if you're grieving in post election, like how do you honor whatever motivated you like for me as an African-American I thought it was amazing to watch a black woman do some of the things that Kamala was doing like it was amazing I thought about my grandmother who never thought this would happen ever in the United States and to watch Kamala do what she was doing so I Thought it was amazing and the way that I plan to honor that is by continuing to fight for a world where a woman is not
Starting point is 01:51:33 Voted for things that are a not true and B. She can't control I had many many people in the black community Tell me I just don't think a woman should be the leader of America and I'd be like why like to me it's wildly hypocritical for someone to say My what my my woman should be at home like as a leader of the house But then you say women can't lead and you don't want a woman to be in power It's like those those things don't they're not congruent thoughts want a woman to be in power is like, those things don't, they're not congruent thoughts. So I think we have to honor the process. And one of the ways I plan to do that is can you
Starting point is 01:52:09 continue to advocate for black culture, and black women in particular, because I think black women are, they need to be advocated for. And I think hope matters because hope allows us to think that there's opportunity for things to be different in the future and we need to think about what kind of world we want to live in and Do whatever we can in our small micro worlds and then our big macro world to advocate for the kind of where we want to live In how do you follow you? Oh Elliot Connie? Why do you want to call you doctor? Everybody do everybody does how do they follow me go to? you doctor? Everybody do. Everybody does. your life using the principles of solution-focused brief therapy. Make sure you go get that and check out Elliott's podcast, Family Therapy on the Black Heart Radio podcast network.
Starting point is 01:53:09 Always a pleasure, my brother. Elliott Connie, pick up the book. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now Jess is out today. She lost her voice She was in DC all weekend performing. She got a strep throat actually. Oh God To what? Okay, you say she lost her voice. She just lost her voice. There's no reason behind it.
Starting point is 01:53:38 Let's get this Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. Your news is real, Webber. It's the clients, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. Tell my bitch. She don't spare nobody. She don't spare nobody. Tell my bitch. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess.
Starting point is 01:53:52 Tell my news. On the Breakfast Club. She's the coacheship. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me. Now, I know we talked about this last hour,
Starting point is 01:54:05 but I did want to bring this back in because I feel like we didn't really get the time to just commit to it. We mentioned G Herbo on Kai Sanat's live stream, breaking the news that he lost his father recently. Let's take a listen to that clip one more time. I just lost my pops. Two weeks ago, two and a half weeks ago,
Starting point is 01:54:23 I still found a reason to get up and smile, to get up and work, to provide for my family, to be there for my children. My oldest boy right here, he just got his ears pierced. Look, my son, he cried because I'm talking about his grandfather, but it's okay, man, family first. You know, you miss your papa?
Starting point is 01:54:41 It's okay, man. He living through you, son. Now, so I wanted to make sure that we, you know, It's okay man. He live it through you son. Now, so I wanted to make sure that we, you know, took the proper time to send him some love. I know G Herbo was a friend of the room and all that good stuff. And I've been seeing him move around because he did drop new music since then. So a lot of people were like, whoa, they were taking a back of it. Well, I got a lot of respect for Herbo, man. like whoa they were you know what they shook up of course and of course we didn't do an interview that would be just ridiculous but he just wanted to come up here and tell us why he couldn't do the interview and he didn't have to do that at all like who wouldn't
Starting point is 01:55:29 understand who wouldn't understand what he was going through in that moment so salute to Herbo always. Salute to G Herbo for sure. Now other news Diddy so there has been a new filing in the Diddy case which is crazy because I feel like with all these new filings they hit and then they go away so fast now because it's so much Diddy news all the time. But basically Diddy is asking for bail again. And the federal prosecutors have responded to that ask. And basically what they're saying is that they're alleging that from prison right now, Diddy is still allegedly trying to sway witnesses and trying to corrupt
Starting point is 01:56:06 witnesses and trying to sway the jury. So they pointed out a couple of things. So remember when we had that video of his kids wishing him a happy 55th birthday? Yes. And Baby Love was singing and it was like, you know, tearjerker. Now, common sense would tell you that, you know, posting stuff like that is it goes to character. You want to speak to his character if you can as his children. But it was his birthday. So I think people didn't think much of it. Now the fans are saying that they have on recorded phone calls allegedly that Diddy would do things like he would call his family members and say, Hey, we need to post things on social media that jurors
Starting point is 01:56:38 will hopefully see. And from that, they'll be able to my character will look a lot better when they come in this courtroom. And they said that, you know, there were various things that they that he instructed his family to post on social media. And you remember also to people were pointing out that Christian came on Diddy's social media and was like, Hey, I'm gonna be taking over my dad showing some good moments so you can get the love, the vibes of the feel back. So people pointed to that as well, too.
Starting point is 01:57:00 And the feather saying that he took it as far as to he would request to get the insights from his team, like the marketing insights on social media to see how well the posts were doing, how far they were reaching. They're also alleging that they found in like a random sweep of like, I guess his floor that he's on, they found some like notes he was taking, I guess, preparing for trial. And in those notes, he mentions paying off, allegedly it mentions paying off Kalani Harper, Kalana Harper, the girl from Dirty Money, to release a statement.
Starting point is 01:57:26 Remember she came out and released a statement on Instagram saying, I don't know what Donnie's talking about, I ain't seen none, I don't know nothing about that. So they're- Diddy don't write raps, and I'm supposed to believe he was writing that type of stuff and just having it lying around. This is what they're alleging.
Starting point is 01:57:38 They said that they have the notes, they said that the phone calls are recorded. They also say on these recorded lines as well, Diddy is just encouraging different people to reach out to witnesses and stuff like that as well who could provide very harming testimony. I thought they said about a week ago that both sides weren't going to release things into the public, that it was only going to be in court. So this is in court.
Starting point is 01:57:57 This came out of a filing. So Diddy's team filed to say, hey, we want bail again. And they did the whole bail package run down. And then the feds responded through documents that said, nope, we want bail again, and they did the whole bail package run down, and then the feds responded through documents that said, nope, we don't think he should get bail, and here's why, and from what I know, Diddy Seymour, of course, will be responding back to this, so you'll hear that pretty soon,
Starting point is 01:58:16 but this is all happening in the court. We just know because it's public filings. I wonder how hard it is for them to pick jurors for cases like this. Oh, it gotta be tough. Yeah, and what I mean is I'm not even thinking about what's happening on social media, what's happening in the news now.
Starting point is 01:58:29 When you got somebody like Diddy, who's been a part of culture for 30 plus years, I'm sure he has fans, right? So how do you pick a jury that doesn't have people on it as his actual fans? Oh, not even that, anybody that's swayed by anything that they've seen, like the video of Cassie that it was everywhere
Starting point is 01:58:45 How can you get a juror that hasn't seen that video? Yeah, there are also two defeds Or they mentioned in this and it's a filing that they mad that did he be using the other inmates or he be using their other? Phone accounts to call the people and then did y'all know you're not supposed to call people on three way for inmates Definitely not supposed to know that was illegal illegal don't don't snitch on nobody somebody call me can you call my mama to I let me call your mama to yep that's illegal sophisticated and we don't I don't know nothing about what you guys are talking about it and yeah there's no three-way calls I didn't know that I learned that through this I'm like wait that's yeah you know inmates are not supposed to have cell phones either in jail
Starting point is 01:59:27 Yes, I know that but how would you think that I know inmates have cell phones? This seems like something you would know Alright moving on So yeah, but okay, so that's basically what's happening and then did he seem will be responding back soon They're also saying that he would he had plans to like leak stuff online that would make basically make the claims against him look not good or fake or whatever basically trying to make it look good. And doesn't he know that every call that he does has to know it's recorded. There's no way you don't know that unless you're talking to your attorney. But every outside of that every call is recorded. This is all true. This is stupid. He's an idiot. Dumbest thing I've ever every call is this is all true this is stupid
Starting point is 02:00:05 he's an idiot dumbest thing i've ever heard of this is all true and i don't think that the federal aid that you know the prosecutors would say this unless they could prove it but we'll have to wait and see now i believe all of it except for the writing notes and leaving the notes that's all right but that don't even sound right like why would you be writing notes and we paid off so and so. We paid off, come on. We paid off. Take that, take that. Yeah, I don't believe it. Okay. So, lastly, Jay-Z, Dame Dash, remember we reported on the auction?
Starting point is 02:00:31 Yes. So, the auction finally happened. The auction happened, and guess who right now owns that third stake of Rockefeller? Who? The state of New York. Very random, right? Just, what you mean? The government owns it?
Starting point is 02:00:43 The state of New York owns it. They own it because they won an auction. They paid a million dollars for it Now I had reached out I'm not be reaching I reached out because I'm like how the heck did that happen like I thought Jay-z was supposed to show Up and like when it was gonna be over right so what I was told from a person that would know was that There were three people in the auction including the state two people showed up late They couldn't register so they couldn't auction at. Jay's people were there, but they never, they never bid at all, they were just there watching.
Starting point is 02:01:09 It is smart. And I'm also told that Jay-Z is in conversation right now. His people are in conversation right now to buy that third steak of Rockefeller, but it's a back and forth right now because the state wants that three mil. They need to pay the money that- They're not gonna get three mil,
Starting point is 02:01:23 and only Jay could actually really own that if you really think about it because if they own Two-thirds of it already that means anything they do have to be approved by the two-thirds So jay just sit back and just say that you just gonna sit on that and get nothing. This is crazy This is really crazy. This is a dame das explained us what happened from the couch yet No, I haven't seen a day me on the couch going in boy on that show I forgot what it's one of those shows that's on his network. No no couch, he'd be on a chair. That's a chair? That'd be a chair. You are like one of the most you are so shady. I don't understand why that's shady. The way from that couch? Well whatever it is a couch chair whatever it is he'd be on there going in explaining stuff. That's on America's New right?
Starting point is 02:02:03 That's the network. Yeah, America's new. I haven't seen his response, but I will keep you updated. Okay. I'm sure he'll do it this week. I'm sure he'll do it today. He gonna be on there cussing you out. You better relax. Cause I said he's, has he sat on the couch explaining?
