Somebody on Instagram last night, I saw them on Breakfast Club page. They said, I hope Charlemagne says something to Bill Burr that makes him go off. Yes. I definitely hope you do. We go off. Ha, ha, ha. Yes. I definitely hope you do.
Starting point is 00:06:28 We'll see. Oh, we'll see. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. When we come back, we got front page news. Teslan's figure will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning, Tess. Good morning, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. Good morning. Let's jump right into it.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Let's talk about this toll hike in the city, New York City, I should say. Yeah, so all morning long, guys, I want to show you how politics is local. You know, we talk a lot about that, Jess. I know you mentioned it the other day. And these are the things that how not being involved or being involved can affect your everyday life. So we're going to start out with New York. And New York is on track to become the first U.S. city with congestion tolls on drivers entering its central business district after transit officials approved a $15 fee for most motorists headed into the busiest part of Manhattan. We talked about this a few months back when it was just a proposal and folks were organizing around it. But now it has been approved.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Let's go to CBS News for for the report the mta board approved congestion pricing fees and what its chairman says is one of the most significant votes the board has ever taken under the plan drivers will pay 15 during the day to enter manhattan central business district trucks 24 to 36 dollars motorcycles seven dollars and 50 cents plus there is a two dollar and 50 cent fee every time you take a four-hire vehicle like Uber or Lyft. And a $1.50 fee for yellow taxis. Now, there were also... Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Okay, I just want to say, I want to let you know there were protesters that showed up against the law. We're going to unpack that in a second, but take a listen to what the protesters were talking about. Getting something big done is difficult. And it was difficult right up until the very end. MTA police barricades ring the building. The place was crawling with cops. But even with all the precautions, two sets of demonstrators got inside
Starting point is 00:08:19 the boardroom. That was the first protest. But just before the final vote, yellow cab drivers who don't want their passengers to pay an extra $1.25 congestion fee confronted the board. But with the MTA desperate for the $1 billion a year congestion pricing will bring in for fixing the ailing transit system, the vote was overwhelmingly in favor yeah i know the rest of the country don't give a damn about this story because we are a nationally syndicated morning show but just know as someone who lives here in new york this is horrible this is more money that we are giving to a city and i don't see all that money spent here reflecting in the city people come here from out of town and they're not impressed with all the money we spend here in new york city new york
Starting point is 00:09:02 should look like dubai or abu Dhabi or at least Dallas. At least Charlotte. Dallas and Charlotte are beautiful cities. It does make sense. But they need to give a damn about it, though, even though this is in New York. Again, while we keep saying policies is local, when things pass at the city level, they usually pass at the state, and then it trickles. Other cities follow this as well. So if you have congestion problems in Houston, L.A., Dallas, these are the same things that you'll see duplicated.
Starting point is 00:09:28 So people cannot pay attention to it. Oh, there's New York. And it all hit different when it hits home. So it's not right. If you just think about it, if there's people that's not that don't know much about New York, nobody really lives in New York City from really our community because it's too expensive. Like a one bedroom apartment in New York is like a million dollars. So most people live on the outer boroughs or in Jersey. So from the outer boroughs to get to the city to come to work, it costs you $12 already.
Starting point is 00:09:51 From New Jersey, it costs you $17 just to cross the bridge. Then when you get to the city, and there's tons and tons of colleges, tons and tons of high schools, tons and tons of people to work. So now they're charging you $15 to get to actually in the city where you can work. And you didn't even e-check. You didn't even pay for no gas in your car. And you didn't put gas in your car yet. So that's $30 a day just to get to the city.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Then you got to park. Then you got to pay for gas. And it's ridiculous. And to Tez's point, New York is the first U.S. city to implement congestion pricing. I think they got it in London and I think like Singapore and a couple other places but new york is the first american city to do that so yeah and when you come when you come to new york you'll be paying an additional uh dollar 50 with taxis and additional seven dollars and 50 cents in uber so again yeah you can think it doesn't affect you until you come to new york and you got a visit and now you're paying $40 to go a mile
Starting point is 00:10:46 up the road. Are the other points you just made, Taz, the fact that they're doing this in New York, I guess if it is financially beneficial to them in New York, they're going to do this to other major cities. Absolutely. But let's not forget this, and the reason they're doing this is because they want more people to take public transportation. And the subways ain't the safest
Starting point is 00:11:02 place. We just seen a lady get pushed on the track the other day we just seen somebody there's another guy that's out there that's punching women in the face uh in in the subway that four women got punched in the face is that true yes okay i saw that on tiktok somebody no no no our digital guy showed me that yesterday he was like what's up with all these white women getting punched in the face for no reason and this is random women they're like just punched in the face random white's random white women? Yes. So New York is not safe. It's not the safest place in the world.
Starting point is 00:11:27 It'd be just, I'm going to take the subway. I'm going to take the bus. According to Mayor Adams, it's safe. Mayor Adams says it's the safest big city in America. That's what he says. Mayor Adams has a gun, sir. No, Mayor Adams has a security detail. And a security detail.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Well, I know one thing. We're going to save a lot of money next week because we're home. So that'll be great. Now let's quickly talk about South Carolina. Yeah, so let's switch gears to Charlemagne's home state. So speaking of money and talking about what is the government doing with this money? What are they going to do? South Carolina has
Starting point is 00:11:54 $1.8 billion in a bank account. They don't know where the hell it came from and they don't know where it's going. Take a listen. Well, South Carolina has collected about $1.8 billion in a bank account over the past decade, but the state doesn't know where it came from. Right now, state and private accountants are still trying to figure out where it's supposed to go. The news comes following the Comptroller General's resignation last year after a $3.5 billion error.
Starting point is 00:12:20 We're told that it appears the latest issue involves the Treasurer's Office. Lawmakers and the governor are waiting for a definitive report before tapping into that extra money. There's no name on the bank account? That's crazy. Like, is this a random bank account? Yeah, it's under the state. It's under Secretary of State. So it is a state bank account.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And just money just came out of nowhere. I wonder how many other states america has this same issue and literally what do you do with that money because to me this would be a great time if you know you have this mystery money you know give it to people who actually need it and you know in these various states like if it's just sitting there absolutely you know they weren't missing it they weren't looking for it give it to people in need south carolina perfect place to get their reparations claim jumped off let's just go ahead and pass it up to 1.8 billion but this just shows you know guys we're always talking about what do they do with the money they're sending money ukraine they should be spending money here you literally got a billion dollars just sitting in
Starting point is 00:13:15 the bank unclaimed donald trump will go get that money he gonna get that money i don't know donald trump gonna get money from south carolina he gonna it somehow, some way And that is front page news, thank you Tiz Absolutely We'll be talking next hour Oh man, this is good, strippers, bill of rights was passed in Washington Again, something else that should trickle in your home city And Waffle House employees They're standing on business, so this is important

Starting point is 00:14:08 What's up, Envy? This is Kassan from Detroit. What up, dog, Kassan? What's up? Where's Charlotte at? I'm right here, Kassan. What's happening, brother? What's up?
Starting point is 00:14:17 Good morning, Jess. Good morning, babe. Charlotte, man, you gave Detroit Donkey of the Day yesterday. But yesterday, when that school is called Taylor Preparatory Academy, it is in Taylor. That school is not in Detroit. I didn't say that school was in no damn Detroit. Yes, you did.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Listen to your – I just listened to it. I listened to y'all a day behind because I listened to the podcast. You kept saying Detroit. No, I didn't. You kept saying Taylor, but you kept calling it Detroit. That's not Detroit? No, it's Taylor. It's not saying Detroit. You kept saying Taylor, but you kept calling it Detroit. That's not Detroit? No, it's Taylor. It's not Detroit.
Starting point is 00:14:49 You was calling it Taylor. Oh, you're talking about the woman. Because they fired the woman that had a rap career. How do you feel about that? Do you think she should have got fired? I haven't seen her videos. It depends on the content. But I'm sure if she worked in the Detroit public school,
Starting point is 00:15:05 they wouldn't have painted no mine. How close is Taylor to Detroit? It's about across the street. It's a city away. It's not Detroit, though. That's like the news, Charlamagne. That's like the news calling stuff Detroit. We expect you to give us good news and make sure that it's accurate.
Starting point is 00:15:26 That's not accurate. You're right. But she was inspired by Detroit. She was inspired. No, because the song is called Motown. We live in Detroit, but Donkey of the Day should go to Taylor, not Detroit. Well, I gave it to the school. You gave it to Detroit.
Starting point is 00:15:41 No, I gave it to the school. I gave it to Taylor Preparatory High School. In Detroit. No. You gave it to Detroit. No, I gave it to the school. Detroit ain't going to let up. I gave it to Taylor Preparatory High School. In Detroit. No. You gave it to Detroit. No, I did not. I just listened to it. No, you're wrong.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I gave it to Taylor Preparatory. I might have said Taylor Preparatory High School in Detroit, but I said Taylor Preparatory High School. You know what, Solomon? One of my good teachers used to tell me I'm not going to argue when I know I'm right. Listen to what you said yesterday. You only gave it to Detroit. I did not going to argue when I know I'm right. Listen to what you said yesterday. You only gave it to me straight.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I did not. I just listened. No, I gave it to Taylor Preparatory High School. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, DJ Envy? This is Mark. Mark, what up? Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:16:16 First of all, what's up, Jess? Hello. I'm kind of upset the fact that black people were crucified and guilty without him being formally accused of anything. You know, there's so many other, you know, race out there that's accused of far more worse. But we just got him on Twitter. They just slamming him on Twitter, slamming him on Instagram, just slamming him. And why we just don't back our own people and support this man through this trial and tribulation that he's going through?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Well, I don't know if, you know, support is the right word because none of us know what the actual situation is. But, I mean, you can't use social media as a gauge because they're just going to get these jokes off. But like I said yesterday, it is very disappointing. It's sad to watch, you know, what's happening with Diddy because to sit here and act like, you know, we didn't grow up off Bad Boy. To sit here and act like Uptown Records didn't impact our life.
Starting point is 00:17:09 To sit here and act like we didn't wear Sean John and drink Ciroc. It is very disappointing to potentially see another legacy crumble like this. But regardless, we don't know the ins and outs. We don't know what happened. You know what I mean? And we're playing from the outside. And like you said, yeah, sometimes it is disturbing when see that when we when we haven't got all the information but you know if if he is found guilty you know those victims need justice you know by the way even if he's not
Starting point is 00:17:33 but if he's innocent then even even if he's not found guilty it's still disappointing to see another one of our great you know black icons attached to something like this whether it was bill cosby whether it's russellby, whether it was Russell Simmons, whoever it is, it saddens me when I see this type of stuff. It just does. I agree, and all I want is our black people, you know, at times like this, just
Starting point is 00:17:55 stick together, man, because this don't feel right, you know what I mean? Coming from a black man, this don't feel right, and I'm behind him unless he actually forms me a kid. Alright, brother. You gotta say pause. You I'm behind him unless he, until he inform me it's a kid. All right, brother. You got to say pause. If you say you're behind Diddy,
Starting point is 00:18:08 you got to say it. You should just pause that just because. Okay, no Diddy. See, now you see what I'm saying? See, you got to get your joke off.
Starting point is 00:18:15 See, here's the thing. Why do we act like, and I talked about this on the podcast and we're going to bring it in, but why do we act like you can't have
Starting point is 00:18:20 a litany of emotions? You know what I'm saying? You can feel sadness and disappointment because you're like, damn, another black man has ruined their legacy allegedly you can feel you know uh compassion for the victims you know and you can get some jokes off like it's not a one-dimensional situation but you can't have all those emotions because we don't know like you're saying why can't we have emotions because we don't know what happened how you said one minute but you laughing
Starting point is 00:18:42 you keep talking about oh his legacy is like that's what humans don't mind what happened. How do you say it one minute, but you laughing? You keep talking about, oh, his legacy, his legacy. Because that's what humans are. Don't nobody give a damn about his legacy if he guilty. You feel me? But then you laughing. Because it's complex. You don't know, but still. Because all of that stuff can be, you can have three things true at the same time. It can be funny.
Starting point is 00:18:56 You know what I'm saying? You can be sad and disappointed that another black man allegedly put himself in this situation. And you can have compassion for victims. I don't know why human beings act like we got one emotion all the time that's not real and things can change at any given moment it can change but like you you like cosby is the perfect example right it's effed up but there's so many people that that follow the cosby show and because of that went to college went became a doctor became or whatever because of the cosmic show why these things are complex so you know it's yeah yes do i feel compassion for you know bill cosby's victims absolutely of course am i disappointed to watch a black man ruin his legacy like that
Starting point is 00:19:34 yes of course 100 but now yeah do you want the cosmic show off the air no but yeah like i like how you said it just now then yeah so why if that's what you now To watch him ruin his own legacy You feel me? That's what you do You ruin your own stuff Well get it off your chest 800-585-1051 If you need to vent, hit us up now

On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed

Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to melrose place so listen to still the place on the iheart radio app apple podcast or
Starting point is 00:28:32 wherever you listen to podcasts house whatever and then the internship stopped abruptly like three or four months into it yeah and i spoke to my family member like what happened and they wouldn't say and years later they finally came out and there's a male yeah and said that puff had said come home stay the night with me or the internship is over and they said absolutely not and the internship ended i think and then for those who don't know too right teresa a journalist um he was recently on msnbc with joy and reed now wow i think it is completely effed up for somebody to be like all right it's over you got
Starting point is 00:29:16 the job if you don't do this it's over but it's like if you gave a nigga a choice and he turned it down you can't say the n word okay oh my god yo and we love okay so if you gave a person okay if you gave a a choice and they turned it that's like yo okay like you feel me like it's still wrong in the workplace if you're a superior and you're doing that to somebody who's under you that's an abuse of power. Yeah, it is. It's wrong. But like, I don't know. Maybe my mind is a little dark. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:51 But it's just like. They gave him a choice. But it's like there's no gun to your head. There's no like that ties into, you know, all of this. But you still got to think about the position that the person is in. Anytime you're a superior, it's a boss, a person in a position of power, and you're doing that to somebody who's under you, that's wrong. Yeah, that's wrong against the law. That's why I didn't say that first.
Starting point is 00:30:12 It is wrong. It's absolutely wrong. Okay, moving on. Daphne Joy in Young Miami accused of being sex workers for Diddy. Now, this is more of Laura's allegations that's coming out. In his lawsuit filing, he claimed that Daphne Joy and Young Miami were being paid a monthly allowance to be Diddy's
Starting point is 00:30:31 sex workers. In my opinion, now Daphne Joy is 50 cent baby mama, whatever. My opinion, okay, if you are having sex with a rich dude, right? He giving you money anyway it's like it's a sugar daddy situation so like sex worker that's a bit crazy now if you look at it and uh
Starting point is 00:30:53 and a whole it's how you look at it you look at it in a whole nother light okay trips bags all that Daphne was messing with him at one point young Miami was messing with him at one point. Young Miami was messing with him at one point. They get awarded for messing with him. Is this why 50 don't like Diddy so much? I believe this is a big reason why. I'm sure it's part of it. Because that's what 50 used to talk about all the time. He was starting. He was messing with his baby mama all the time on social media about dealing with Diddy.
Starting point is 00:31:19 See, I'd be off the loop because I ain't know nothing of this. It's part of that. It's part of the Mace situation. Right, I was going to say that's not it. But that fueled it as well. He just think, he think, I think he think 50 is me and he think Diddy a sucker. He just don't rock. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:31 And then Young Miami allegedly transported drugs for Diddy. So he also claimed that Young Miami trafficked the drugs. The filing says that Diddy did a drug called pink cocaine or 2C. I didn't know they came in color. Somebody put me on the 2C yesterday They told me what it was Oh you did it? No
Starting point is 00:31:47 If I did it I wouldn't be here today I'd probably die Right But they said it's Cocaine and molly mixed together Yeah yeah It's for a good time supposedly
Starting point is 00:31:57 What the hell It's a combination Yeah so it's a combination Of ecstasy and cocaine And he said Diddy was rehearsing For something In the water festival When he wanted to pink cocaine But allegedly his drug mule Brendan forgot to bring it ecstasy in cocaine and he said diddy was rehearsing for something in the water festival uh when he
Starting point is 00:32:05 wanted to paint cocaine but allegedly his drug mule brendan forgot to bring it so diddy's chief of staff allegedly called young miami and told her to bring it on a jet from miami to virginia so now she's an alleged drug mule too it's yeah but it's like yo if my dude forgot his weed you know if his assistant forgot to bring his weed you know i mean all mean? All right, call Justin here if I bring my weed. You're looking at it from a discreet perspective, though. Yeah. They're looking at it from the eyes of the law. In the eyes of the law, that's what they look at these people as.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Yeah, but is that a drug deal? Is she a drug deal? Is she bringing you some smoke? No, come on. Listen, I understand what y'all are saying. I'm just telling y'all from the eyes of the law. Okay. They're looking at it like, no, she's a drug deal.
Starting point is 00:32:44 The words that they're using to further try try to to make this man look bad allegedly yeah it's just crazy and that's what uncle luke was saying so basically uncle luke was saying that they just putting extra stuff on top of it and he feels his theory is that because he uh sued because did he sued uh salat bellagio right That they started a smear campaign to make him look even worse in the public eye for what he's going through now. But didn't that lawsuit already get settled? Yeah, they settled it, but the fact that he went after them. You know what I'm saying? That's Uncle Luke's theory on it.
Starting point is 00:33:19 And then the good brother Tyrese was praying for Diddy's kids. Play number three. Last night before I went to sleep, I found myself praying for Diddy's kids play number three last night before I went to sleep I found myself praying for Diddy's kids I was thinking about Justin and Christian Combs and thinking about the twins who go to school with my daughter and then I'm just thinking to myself see a lot of people will go after Diddy beat him down for whatever he's either did or being accused of uh allegedly and i was thinking about the family i was thinking about the kids i was thinking about the stress of yesterday i went
Starting point is 00:33:52 home and all of a sudden i'm in handcuffs at the house it's just trying my best to see things through the lens of the kids i mean listen all those people have the right to feel that way i'm not i'm not mad if they choose to support diddy i'm also not mad if you choose to shut the hell up personally i don't see the need to condemn our support when i see situations like this because for me and i said this yesterday it's just sad to watch another black icon end up in a situation like this we don't know what's true and what's not true but to see yet another one of our black cultural icons end up in a situation like this is very disappointing yeah definitely some slim thug was saying the same thing he was just like basically it's our people
Starting point is 00:34:30 other black people he's disappointed in black people laughing at the situation and actually celebrating yeah that his you know what he's going through i'm disappointed in black men putting themselves in these situations so you know allegedly i don't know i was gonna say we just don't know if all these things about diddy are true then you know, allegedly. Allegedly. I was going to say we just don't know. Yeah, if all these things about Diddy are true, then he will be held accountable but it's still sad that someone
Starting point is 00:34:50 who has it all could potentially burn it all down because they can't get out of their own way. Correct. That's sad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I agree. That's just what the mess for the news is real. All right. Allegedly. When we come back, Teslin Figaro will be joining us and then comedian
Starting point is 00:35:05 bill burr so don't move us to breakfast club good morning you're checking out the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news what's up tiz good morning dj and charlamagne the guy jess hilarious now let's talk about the stripper union. Yes, the stripper's bill of rights. Now, again, every city has strippers in their city, but this is a good thing that I hope to see trickle down in a city near you. Now, as of this week, Washington passed it as an official law. Take a listen.
Starting point is 00:35:39 This bill helps ensure adult entertainment establishments are safe for workers. Blank by supporters of SB 6105, known as the Strippers Bill of Rights, Governor Jay Inslee gave his approval with a stroke of his pen. It's pretty simple why we're passing this bill. These are working folks, and working people deserve safety in the environment in which they work. The legislation requires more protections for dancers and safety training for all staff, including security that works on site, something the bill's sponsor championed. work. The legislation requires more protections for dancers and safety training for all staff, including security that works on site, something the bill's sponsor championed. And that is really critical to make sure that people understand signs of trafficking, how to do de-escalation,
Starting point is 00:36:16 how to make sure that they are creating a safe workplace for everyone. Clubs that meet these new safety requirements will also be allowed to get liquor licenses, though extensive rulemaking will still need to occur before alcohol can be served. So this is a really good thing. The venue is going to make them have more security or police officers going to have to be outside the club? What does this bill
Starting point is 00:36:38 actually mean? Making sure that they have the proper security, making sure there's safety measures, making sure that especially if you're having alcohol around strippers, need to make sure that there's proper security. Also making sure that sexual harassment is stopped, the ability to identify human trafficking, conflict resolution, first aid. So just a lot of it talks about keypad codes to enter dressing rooms,
Starting point is 00:37:02 panic buttons in private rooms. I mean, this is just a really dope bill. And it's important. The reason why I wanted to bring this to everybody's attention is because when you guys had J.D. on and he talked about, you know, the stripper culture, there was a lot of folks in the comments about, you know, stripping. And, you know, is it good for the culture, bad for the culture? And there was a lot of people because even I was in some conversation with folks about trafficking and how supporting strippers means you support trafficking, which is not true. So this is one of the things that you can look at to see. Is this something that should be passed in a city like Atlanta?
Starting point is 00:37:33 Can this be something that can be duplicated so that they have more rights and autonomy to be able to decide if they want to work in a safe place or not? All right. Well, let's go from strippers to Waffle House. Yeah, so Waffle House faces scrutiny for deducting meals from employee paychecks. Take a listen to this story. Their third day on strike. Employees in Conyers with the Union of Southern Service Workers say they are demanding the company end its meal credit policy, which deducts $3 from workers' pay every shift, regardless of whether they actually eat a meal workers say they're also demanding better working conditions higher wages and safer workplaces now if
Starting point is 00:38:14 you know anything about the south particularly Georgia or any of the southern states Waffle House is a community staple I think even trying to rain has said that before you know on this show and I think this is a really terrible thing so let me just break it down to make make sense the first problem with this is waffle house is taking close to three dollars for each on-shift meal for employees which can be problematic because they only make two dollars and ninety cents per hour so they're taking this money from the employees even if they don't eat the meal so that's the first the first thing they're just saying automatically we're just going to take take the three dollars out the second problem is
Starting point is 00:38:47 is being deducted at retail price so legally employers are allowed to deduct the cost of employee meals but it but it must be provided at cost and not for profit for the company so charging three dollars uh for a waffle house meal is pretty much what people pay at what you know the average people pay a waffle house so they're asking um for an investigation to make sure that they're not getting overcharged so again two things charging them without them even eating the meal and then two overcharging so Waffle House employees are on strike you know they've been striking this week they've been saying that we want to make sure you know that we're treated fair as well so if you go to a Waffle House and you can't get you know any service or there's not anybody in there this is the reason why yeah i would think if
Starting point is 00:39:27 you work at waffle house that would be a benefit right like you know let's just say you're doing a eight hour shift you would think you could get at least two free meals out of him and i'm saying like the average it's not you know obviously you can go in there and order up fifty dollars worth of food if you want to you know but they're saying that the average is supposed to be at cost so somebody's only making two dollars and ninety cents an hour and you're charging me three dollars you're basically taking an hour of pay and then i didn't even eat the meal they're there so that's the problem you're charging people if they didn't even eat the meal they're just saying we're just gonna take it out on gp don't worry about it if you eat it or not i just want to know
Starting point is 00:39:59 i want to know what meal that waffle house cost three dollars damn sure ain't that all-star maybe i just want a side of bacon maybe it's bacon as high as hell so i don't know but it's something ain't no meal at waffle house cost no two that's what i'm saying i think it's 299 might be a deal like you know but i will be mad if i don't eat you still gonna charge me i don't like that but three dollars and like you said but if you but if you're only making three dollars an hour but guys this is what i'm saying if you're only making three dollars that hour you just guys, this is what I'm saying. If you're only making $3 an hour, you just took an hour of my pay. So look at it that way. Rather than what costs $3 at Waffle House, I want you to look at the fact that you're taking an hour of my pay.
Starting point is 00:40:33 They make $2.90 per hour. You know, most of their money is made on tips. Yeah, I would think that they would just let them get two free meals. I don't know how long their shifts are. But, you know, if you work a four-hour shift, you probably should get one meal. If you work an eight-hour shift, you should get get one meal. If you work an eight-hour shift, you should get at least two meals. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Yeah, bottom line is don't take the hour pay. That's the bottom line. Whether they can find something for $3 or not, that's not cool at all. But I wonder how that works with waitresses and waiters, right?
Starting point is 00:40:57 So if you work in a restaurant, they don't give you every food on the menu, right? So if you work at an expensive restaurant, you can't just say, you know what, I want a lobster for lunch.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I don't think you can do that. Yeah, but that ain't Waffle House. Waffle House can afford it. They should be okay. Okay, I can make, I can't make me an egg breakfast real quick. Couple scrambled eggs,
Starting point is 00:41:13 some toast and some grits. And I guess, that ain't gonna cost no money. But I guess they feel also if they don't take it out the check, who gonna say anything? Because who at Waffle House gonna call and be like,
Starting point is 00:41:20 you know, Jimmy just ate, they just gonna cook it and eat it. Now I might limit you on the T-bone and eggs breakfast. You know what I'm saying? Might even limit you on the chicken and egg, chicken and egg breakfast. But the egg breakfast, no protein, you know, Jimmy just ate. They just going to cook it and eat it. Now, I might limit you on the T-bone and eggs breakfast. You know what I'm saying? Might even limit you on the chicken and egg breakfast. But the egg breakfast, no protein, you're good. I mean, all the stuff that Waffle House employees got to go through.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Come on, Charmaine. You know this in the South, especially after the club. They should be able to eat for free, period. Everything. They be fighting people, too, though. Like, man, them Waffle House people, they crazy, too. They be fighting each other. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Everything. Burning people with the stove. Everything. Waffle House people. man the waffle house people ain't crazy too they be fighting each other everything burning people with the stove everything you should go look at the employees if you get a moment go look at the employees that was on strike you'll get a chance to see so yeah it's okay it's okay for us to give them a free waffle you know so anyway guys this is a union and i just want to point out that these are things that you can do. Just talking about local politics, how it can affect a city, a state, how it can go all over the country. Usually when things get bubbled up to the federal level, people say, oh, how did this happen? It's because not paying attention to what's happening at the local level.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Right, right. And then it goes national. Stand up for Wapahouse. All right. Well, thank you, Tez. Absolutely. Make sure you follow at Tez and Figaro on all social media platforms And subscribe to the Scrape Shot No Chaser podcast
Starting point is 00:42:27 On the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network Hosted by Tez and Figaro Alright, when we come back Bill Burr will be joining us, comedian Bill Burr 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 Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:42:45 We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The f***ing legend, man. Bill Burr. Welcome. Hello. How you feeling? I'm all right.
Starting point is 00:42:53 You all right? Yeah. When you hear the word legend, do you just feel old or you feel like I'm accomplished? I don't know what I feel. I never feel like I, you know, this, you know how this business is. You feel like any moment, like whatever you got is going to go away. So I just, I don't pay attention to that stuff. I obviously like it.
Starting point is 00:43:10 No, legend doesn't make me feel old. It makes me feel good. But when somebody's like, ah, man, I grew up on your comedy. I started listening to you when I was eight. I'm like, oh my God. You see him there like, you know, divorced. You're like, oh God, how old am I? So yeah, I would say that's the type of stuff that makes me feel old.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I want to go back a little bit, if you don't mind. I want to know, what got Bill Burr into comedy? Dramatic childhood. Sorry, nobody happy gets into this stuff. Then the delusions of fame get into your head, and then you somehow get into it. I mean, I definitely liked it when I was growing up, but I got into it by chance. So I thought you had to be in Hollywood to get into it.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I had no idea there was this huge stand-up scene in Massachusetts. So I was working in a warehouse and I was working with this guy and he was into stand-up the way I was and he was funny as hell. One night we used to go over to his house, have a couple of beers before we went out, know save some money and uh he was we were watching stand-up but he was going Bill we're funnier than these guys like and you know he goes one one night I'm gonna take a shot at Jack Daniels and go up on stage and that's when it stopped being on TV and it was next to me and I started thinking like oh wait a minute if he can try it I can try it
Starting point is 00:44:22 still took me another five years to figure it out I started I started kind of oh, wait a minute, if he can try it, I can try it. Still took me another five years to figure it out. I started kind of late. Did you ever feel like you had to wear a dress or suck a **** to get on in Hollywood? Jesus Christ. No, and that whole theory is ridiculous. That that's what's going on out there. That there's more pedophiles in Hollywood than there are in plumbing. It's a problem.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Why plumbing? I don't know. Just like regular jobs. They're acting like every pedophile in jail created, you know, friggin' Star Wars. Yeah, it's like, no. They're like, that's what's going on. What's funny is what's going on in Hollywood is going on in most businesses, where it's like there's a lot of people working overtime, not getting paid, not getting credit, and getting pushed down,
Starting point is 00:45:10 and people at the top taking more and more. But the problem with Hollywood is those idiots stay in Hollywood, and they look at most of the country like flyover states, and then they go on these stupid award shows, and they talk down to them. Everybody is like that, but then they just on these stupid award shows and they talk down to them. Everybody is like that,
Starting point is 00:45:26 but then they just, you know, the sociopaths get the dumb people wound up. What did Bill Burr want to be before he became a comedian? You just always wanted to do comedy. I was just failing at everything. I did horrible in school, so I just felt hopelessly behind
Starting point is 00:45:41 until I started hanging out with people that were into comedy and then somehow I found it that I remember doing that and then I was just like, you know, with people that were into comedy. And then somehow I found it that I remember doing that. And then I was just like, all right, this is what, this is what I'm supposed to do. Cause everything else I was doing, I just never felt like this is not it. I don't feel like these people aren't the same kind of weird that I am. You know, did you ever want to quit once?
Starting point is 00:46:00 No. One time I thought I wasn't going to make it. It was the only time I ever thought it. When was this? You bombed? No, no. haven't all the time that's just part of this stuff I was doing the
Starting point is 00:46:11 I'm not going to say where I was because it's a sad story I'm going to bum you out okay so I was doing this this club that I had just been going to
Starting point is 00:46:19 for years and years and years and years every other year I'd go there new hour going to get them you know I'm in with the morning radio guys.
Starting point is 00:46:26 And the same 30 people were showing up. So it was after the late show. And I was sitting there reeking of smoke because you could smoke all three shows. Smelled like I fought a fire. My eyes were all burning. And I was just looking at the wait staff. And they were lifers. They had been there before.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And they were older. A little bit heavier. And they were counting up their money. And they were smoking their cigarettes. And the same amount of people had showed up. And that was the first time I like this thought went in my head, like of like, wait a minute. Am I the guy who doesn't make it? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:46:55 The panic of that. I went back to the comedy condo and I was just laying in bed trying to turn it around. And my brain was just, no, no, the other guy is not going to make it. So that was. Yeah. Then the other guy's not gonna make it so that was yeah then i got back to new york and it was better you know i came you know after the gig i came back and just like the energy i had a couple of good sets sunday night at the boston comedy club was a huge turning point for me in my career probably how i ended up here right now and that that would that would get me to think positive and you said you never bombed right and i no i didn't say you have bombed all the time you have but i don't think you bombed though i think that people don't know if they should laugh at what you're saying
Starting point is 00:47:33 you know maybe now but no no oh my god oh i remember bombing so bad one time uh this was comedy club called mix nuts that's now called the comedy Union. And that was the black club, right? So I went down there. It's funny. I started doing those rooms because I used to listen to Richard Pryor. So his albums were so live that you could picture the crowd. So I had this idea of what a crowd looked like. It was weird.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I'm white as hell. And that was my idea of what a crowd was. So I ended up doing those rooms along with the white rooms, right? So I was on stage bombing so bad. Like this right here, silence. And I just remember hearing this woman's voice in the back. She just goes, I ain't laughed yet. About 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Damn. And then that was the biggest laugh of the set. Everybody laughed, and then they just started talking amongst themselves, and I didn't know how to turn it around. It was, and there's something, it's bad enough bombing in front of your own people, but bombing in front of your own people, but bombing in front
Starting point is 00:48:26 of another race of people knowing that you're taking down a bunch of other white comics with you. Like, because you represent for all white comics.
Starting point is 00:48:35 It's just like, I don't watch people being funny. This corny ass motherfucker. It's not just me. You know, there are others out there.
Starting point is 00:48:42 They're funny. Yeah. It was bad. You liked Richard Pryor. What's your favorite Richard Pryor album? Um, maybe it wasn't something I said. The one I can't say. The one that came out in 82 was Super What?
Starting point is 00:48:53 Half of them have the N word in it. You're going to get me in trouble. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own 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. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

Starting point is 00:51:01 visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

That was a set- i think i'm lucky i got a good night's sleep i would have been like oh i like that m was crazy um i will say i bought i bought his albums because he just looked funny
Starting point is 00:54:40 that was the first one i bought that m was crazy when he was pointing like that just he just looked funny that's how I bought the first Eddie Murphy up I bought the first Eddie Murphy album because I was like well he's also black he must be funny and that was the first one we had the rose in his ear I think that works so you did represent for all white comics because you see one funny black comic yeah yeah that's how we know that's how it works it's almost like I found a genre music music. So I would listen to it. I listened to all of his stuff, and there was something about the way he did it,
Starting point is 00:55:12 which I didn't understand it as a kid, but the way he did it, the way he trashed white people, he got you to listen to him and laugh at yourself. Where by the time Def Jam came around, Crack 80s and all of that, black comedy was a different thing. But what I loved about Richard was like you like rooted for him. You felt like you knew him. It was really insane.
Starting point is 00:55:29 I like, and I think he's the greatest of all time. And I think it's even close. During that time, during that era when it seems like that crack time where Def Comedy Jam and the comedy shows, was it hard for you to book in those black rooms? Was it like, here comes the white comedian again? No, that was the irony. It was hard for them and you had to
Starting point is 00:55:46 yeah you had to like vouch for them and everything and the club owners right in front of them yeah you don't do that Def Jam stuff do you you're not like MF and MF and
Starting point is 00:55:54 they would literally say that and that was embarrassing when you'd be standing there going like but what they would just say yeah go up do your thing
Starting point is 00:56:02 I felt like all those guys that worked for Talent Drew Frazier. Oh, yeah. Rob Stapleton. Gerald Kelly. Gerald Kelly.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Capone. All the New York Kings. I used to do all of those rooms. Oh, God, those are all the memories of that one. I remember Gerald Kelly had a room. Oh, God, that was a brutal room. It was somewhere in Newark in the 2000s. I remember this comedian.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Was it Roz G or something? Roz G, yeah. Yeah, rest her soul. She was on stage and she's super loud and they weren't laughing at anything. And she ended her say,
Starting point is 00:56:32 she's like, damn. She's like, I don't know who's coming up next, but he better be funny because you motherfuckers ain't laughing at shit. And then she brought me up. Ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:56:41 Bill Burr. Did that get a laugh at least? No. But you know what's weird I went up had an okay set and I felt like I bombed at anything
Starting point is 00:56:48 and randomly Chris Webber was there and he came up and he told me I was funny and it was little things like that I'm like well this guy's famous this guy's successful
Starting point is 00:56:56 he thinks I'm funny so I think I'll be alright alright we got more with Bill Burr when we come back so don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning
Starting point is 00:57:02 morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Hilar, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with comedian Bill Burr. Charlamagne? Do you change your set when you're doing black rooms versus white rooms? I try not to. Early on, I did.
Starting point is 00:57:15 I'd be on stage, and all of a sudden, I'd hear myself tagging all my jokes with, you know what I'm saying? And I'd be like, why am I doing that? Why am I doing that? Stop. Stop doing that. But you just would. And then there was an easy way to get through those rooms.
Starting point is 00:57:31 You can just be like, I'm the white guy and I'm scared. And that's sort of how you do it initially just to get your feet wet in those rooms. And then basically, then it becomes like, now can I actually go up here and talk about what I want to talk about? Wear a Bruins t-shirt, a hockey t-shirt, whatever. I started experimenting with that.
Starting point is 00:57:47 I remember Patrice giving me, rest his soul. Patrice O'Neill. Yeah, going like, Bill's trying to do his white s*** in these black rooms. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes. It all depended on the crowd. It all depended on the crowd. But I felt like it's a weird thing where I feel like it's harder to be a black comic in a black room
Starting point is 00:58:03 than it is to be a black comic in a white room and vice versa. Because you can just play fish out of water. Like, oh, wow, this is all different. Gee Louise, I'm all nervous up here. Just literally play into the stereotype. That's the easy laugh. I guess a little hacky though, though. 100%.
Starting point is 00:58:18 But not early on. I forgive any of it. Because you're just trying to survive. Because it's like, you know, white people don't experience being the only you a lot you know we just sort of walk in oh more white you know and you just live that so to first experience that and that's what's funny when i first started doing those rooms i didn't see black people as individuals i just saw black people as i kept doing them and doing them i started to see individuals oh this guy's like my buddy mitch this guy's like you know and i started to see oh this guy's a good guy this guy's a piece of this guy
Starting point is 00:58:51 steals jokes this guy's you know and it's like oh this is just like white people i was gonna ask you know back in the day what you named some of those comedians from talent to capone it seems like comedy had a brotherhood like you're all f with each other now it doesn't seem like that especially with cat william throwing missiles at everybody was it a brotherhood back then or was it always competition in this no it always was it's just you couldn't air your grievances on social media and that type of stuff like um no there still is like there still is like a comrade especially the people that you like you start out with when you go up and you're doing like open mics and stuff it's just one impossible situation after another.
Starting point is 00:59:26 You just get thrown into these things. You sort of bond with each other through just... I mean, I did gigs like, we don't have a microphone. Is that going to be a problem? We're just going to have you stand here in this hall? Oh, my God, no. It was just like some of the places. And then you would just...
Starting point is 00:59:41 What kept you going was your friend in the crowd laughing at you, watching you trying to figure this situation out. So there's definitely that. But, you know, people focus on the negative or whatever. So, I mean, generally speaking, we get along. There's no more difference than other stuff. Now, when you see the black comedians going back and forth with each other, what do you think about that?
Starting point is 01:00:00 Do you even look at it as black comedians or do you just look at it as comedians? No, comedians, because white comedians are doing it too. Really? Yeah. what's your club station i'm an old school guy where i look at all that stuff like that's locker room stuff and if you have a problem with somebody you should go to them and say it that's how i came up and then also you know this business is difficult i don't need to make it any more difficult there's people i like people maybe i don't like but i don't need to walk around like what good does that do me to do that? But that's me. You know, other people do it differently.
Starting point is 01:00:27 You said earlier you always feel like things will be taken away from you. Like, is that something from childhood or is that cancel culture? Like, what do you mean when you say that? Ma, this is before cancel culture. Well, because you would see guys like idiots would get a show on the air and then immediately go buy a big house and a car. But back in the day, they would say you got to wait till the third season so you know that it's rolling and you would watch guys blow all their money i watched people get deals up at montreal and they put it all in the dot-com stock market i knew that was i stayed away from that when i was at the comic strip and comedians stopped
Starting point is 01:00:57 talking about comedy and they were talking about stocks going like you know it's going to split again it's definitely going to split again i'm like like, you are a dummy. You're a dummy. I'm a dummy. We should not be talking about this. So I didn't put it in. But I saw guys lose all their money that way. There was guys I used to be, you know, looking up like, oh, my God, how do you get to that level? And then their stuff starts to go like that.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Like this business is it's not for the week. And you got to save your money. I don't know. I'm trying to come with something positive here. It's a fun job, though. It's a fun job though it's a fun job this is a callback but when you saw those white comics on that level did you say to yourself he sucked to get there or did he wear a dress to get there like where does what is that what is that where does that stigma come from i'm asking you you brought that up twice oh yeah because that's the that's the that's the stigma like you know the stigma is for black comics you got to wear a dress to get to a certain level.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Who did that? According to Cat Williams, about 20 years ago. Milton Berle. Milton Berle made a whole career. That comes from Vaudeville. Robin Williams. Yeah, he played Mrs. Doubtfire. Tom Hanks was on Bosom Buddies.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Oh, yeah. I mean, it was just like, it was kind of the, you know, oh, we don't have a good idea. Let's put a guy in a dress. Yeah. That's kind of what it was just like, it was kind of the, you know, oh, we don't have a good idea. Let's put a guy in a dress. Yeah. That's kind of what it was. But I understand, you know, that's just one of those white things where I don't have to look at it like, oh, they're doing this
Starting point is 01:02:12 because they're trying to belittle me because they don't see me as human. I don't have to deal with all the stuff you guys got to deal with. So, like, I don't know how much of that's true, how much of it's paranoia. I mean, I can't speak on that. I have no idea. You never wore a dress. Yeah, and that whole sucking it d*** thing, like it's like...
Starting point is 01:02:26 Or just being gay in Hollywood. You just sort of... No, you did... I said you never wore a dress. He said, no, not that order. It's all sucking it d***. Yes, it's not my...
Starting point is 01:02:33 No, it's more like you create a show, you go in, you pitch it to these people, they somehow take control of it, you lose the creative by credit, they make all the money, you don't.
Starting point is 01:02:44 That's the way it usually works it's not it's not like you want a tv show huh all right crawl under my desk and you better do it good because i got another 40 guys waiting to suck this it's like that's just i think a lot of people want it to be that way because it just makes them feel better about their lives and where the f*** they're at. But it's just like, yeah, most of Hollywood is overworked, underpaid people not getting credit for some f*** that they created.
Starting point is 01:03:14 And it happens to everybody. It happens at different levels. And you have to learn how to protect yourself. And nobody teaches you. You just go in there taking punches and then you go, oh, you know, and that's usually
Starting point is 01:03:27 how you learn. Is there comedy to be found in this year's election? The joke I've been doing, like this election is like, you know when Hollywood makes a shitty movie?
Starting point is 01:03:34 You're like, man, that movie sucked and then two years later there's like a sequel and you're like, they're making another one of these? That's how I look at this.
Starting point is 01:03:41 I think the job's not worth the headache and I think that the House and the Senate basically voting that you can't prosecute us for insider trading, and they're all worth $20 to $40 million, and you watch CNN and Fox News,
Starting point is 01:03:54 you know, who are supposed to be these journalists, just completely leave them alone. It's like, why do I want that job? I can just sit here. No one knows who I am other than in my state. I can make my $40 million, move to another state. No one knows who I am. Get a boat and some coke and some whores, and I'm right like that's like that's how like they look at it like if i was running cnn and fox news would be shut down they are they're
Starting point is 01:04:13 anti-american all they do every day their business is to divide us and then who they go after they just go after the reason why comedians have been getting so much is because we don't advertise on their their network so we're just soft targets right that's like at the beginning of the pandemic remember that kid who uh he hoarded all the hand sanitizer yeah one of the greatest gambles ever because they always have sars is coming and all of this this kid said all right i think this stuff is real and he had a whole garage full of hand sanitizer and he was upping the price by 100 and seeing how they were just dragging this kid how could you how could you do that and then meanwhile
Starting point is 01:04:46 like big pharmaceutical companies it's like 40 60 bucks for a leukemia pill and that's totally fine why is that fine because they're making money off them so they're not going to like you know
Starting point is 01:04:54 bite the hand that feeds so this is the shit that like you think about when you're alone a lot on the road and it eventually makes you go crazy so I just
Starting point is 01:05:03 I have decided what I just sort of like, I don't pay attention to anything. I try not to, but then when I do, it's like heartbreaking. There's a documentary about the Ukraine that came out, won an Oscar,
Starting point is 01:05:15 and I just saw the trailer. It's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen. It's almost like ignorance is bliss, right? You realize the less you know, the happier you are. Yeah, it's weird. It's weird. And then dumb people think they know everything.
Starting point is 01:05:28 All right, don't move. We got more with Bill Burr. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, we are The Breakfast Club. Envy, Jess Larry, Charlamagne Tha God. We're still kicking it with comedian Bill Burr. I got a question.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Does cancel culture scare you at all? Does it make you change your set? You see a lot of comedians change their set, change how they talk, change what they talk about. Well, that was something that, like most movements, started with something good, you know, and then was quickly co-opted by people with their own interests, and then it just completely lost its way.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Is it good, though? Because medians were usually the ones that didn't care about it, like talk about everything, make you laugh, you know. But if there was people, no, the initial thing, that there's these people out there sexually abusing people like that was good to get rid of those people that that wasn't bad but then all of a sudden it spun into what are you talking about in your act i kind of like didn't really notice it was happening that i was kind of on stage going like oh i just said that what if somebody just takes that clip and i didn't realize i was doing
Starting point is 01:06:21 that till i i did uh d Dave Chappelle was doing COVID shows. And I went there and nobody had a phone. And just the freedom of that, not like I was going to go up and say something ignorant, but just not having to worry about that when they were really kind of coming for people. Because I think it's like died down. It's weird.
Starting point is 01:06:37 And I was performing at Fenway Park. That was one of those things that was so big, like I don't think I even mentally dealt with it until like two years after I did it. 35,000 people. Yeah, something like that. I felt like I was in Led Zeppelin. They had a police escort.
Starting point is 01:06:52 We drove into the thing. Yeah, that was something. So that was a one-time only. He's like, you want to do it again? It's like, no, no. I don't think there's any point to go back. A lot of requests for tickets. Oh, from people.
Starting point is 01:07:02 You know, it wasn't that bad. You know what was nerve-wracking, though, was my high school reunion also was there. No. So they just decided to go to the show and that, and it's just like, that's just like a weird thing where, like, when I meet people from high school,
Starting point is 01:07:15 like, you know, I had a really cool class, so, like, I'm still the person I was, and so are they. It's just, I'm doing this weird thing. I had to block that out a little bit, right? To be like, you know, all those girls you were afraid to out a little bit, right? To be like, you know, all those girls you were afraid to talk to.
Starting point is 01:07:28 You go back to being like, you know, little Billy redheaded kid in like ninth grade. So I had to like, okay, I got to block this out and do my job. You're married, right?
Starting point is 01:07:35 Yeah. To a black woman if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. How does that happen? How does that happen? How does that happen? I'm saying a white guy
Starting point is 01:07:41 from Massachusetts. Well, I watched like, you know, I watched different strokes growing up. And I had a crush on Janet Jackson. Where'd you meet her? First time I met her.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Oh my God, this guy was blocking me so bad that night. Don't blame him, obviously. No, he was doing it because he was miserable in his own relationship. So he saw me, and it was like fireworks. I've only met two people that had a vibe like her in my life. And the first one was a dude. That wasn't that. Wasn't he tight?
Starting point is 01:08:12 No, he was like, no, just walked in the room, and he just knew the person was coming in the room. She has that vibe, right? Hold on, you got to clear that up. I want to be clear about that. You didn't date the guy. No. I'm just going to make sure.
Starting point is 01:08:24 When are black people going to let go of this homophobia? You always got to check. Like, what are you doing? I'm for the story. You have manicured eyebrows. Like, I'm going to sit here and act like you're all good over there. Like, you don't swing a leg over the fence every once in a while. No way, man.
Starting point is 01:08:40 You got sandals on and white socks. You look like you just came from a steam room. Yeah. Who knows you well? Go ahead. No, I just mean like I always paid attention to energy because my energy was terrible. I was like all introverted and blah, blah, blah, blah. So I was fascinated with people that were just free.
Starting point is 01:09:00 So that's what I meant. Got you, got you, got you. Okay. We're going to go back to sucking dicks for a show again. This guy's a one trick pony over here um so we go we go to like hang out
Starting point is 01:09:10 right no so we're like vibing and everything and I literally had to say to the dude he was like a chick I had to be like
Starting point is 01:09:15 hey man sorry I'm not paying attention to you that's all that f*** I was just like you know I'm hitting it off with him man I think this is going alright
Starting point is 01:09:20 right so the end of the night comes the end of the stand up show and he just comes walking over he goes so you guys wanna go get something to eat, right? And he invites her and everybody. Now I'm at this table.
Starting point is 01:09:29 And there was like, you know, 10 other people there. And he's all the way down the end. And he's still like yelling down, trying to interrupt any of my talking to her. I mean, so long ago. I just remember one point the check came and I didn't have any money. So I said, just give me the cash. I'll put it on my card. He's like, oh, he's just trying to get the miles.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Like, that's how he was doing it, right? It was the middle of the dinner, right? And I finally just look at her. I just give up, right? Because he won't shut the fuck up. And I finally just looked at her. And I go, can I at least split a cab with you home? So she does that female thing.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Why do you want to split a cab with me? I was just thinking. I go, because I want to kiss you. Wow. Yeah. Right. So she put her head down and smiled. And I was thinking, I go, because I want to kiss you. Wow. Right. So she put her head down and smiled
Starting point is 01:10:08 and I was like, I got to. So I let him do all his bulls**t. Everybody leaves, except for him, me, and who's going to become my future wife. And he literally goes, he goes, Nia, where do you live? Do you live uptown? And she goes, yeah, I live uptown. I go, I live uptown. He goes, you want to split a cab? He was trying to leave with her.
Starting point is 01:10:24 And she goes, no, I'm riding home with Bill. And he's going like, oh no, but I live up, he was so in his shit. And she just said, I'm not going to say his name. She went, so and so, I'm splitting a cab with Bill. And then he, and he left. And the rest is history. I don't talk to him for four days
Starting point is 01:10:40 and he calls me up. He's like, hey, what's going on? I'm like, nothing, what's up? He's like, you didn't call me because you thought i was blocking you the other night i'm like you were he goes no i wasn't i'm like why did you bring it up that was the end of that friendship but i was crazy because i i'm literally still starstruck just by remember when i just walked past the room and i was like oh bill burr how you doing And he was just looking like, hey, what's up? Like, not at all like, oh, yeah, you know I am that guy.
Starting point is 01:11:08 You know, it was just real, real cool. And the first time you made me laugh was Racial Drafts. The Dave Chappelle skit that you did. You were like three years old? When it came out. But I watched it because I was a big fan of Chappelle's show.
Starting point is 01:11:23 And then every special. That was one of the coolest things. First really cool thing that I ever got on where it was like I got to experience. It was like Beatlemania. I don't know if anything gets that big again with all of this media. But it was like when everybody brings up the Rick James one and all of that. I will tell you this. The Law and Order sketch that i will tell you this the law and order
Starting point is 01:11:45 sketch that i was in the first cut of that and i think comedy central thought was too dark oh my god it was like it was like an oscar-winning movie because it was hilarious and then it was like when the white dude was in prison in the end the way they did it and they cut to dave laughing on the golf course it wasn't funny it was like this is what you do to us it was it was like wow something commie central like oh you know we uh think there's a different ending i got to see them the the rick james sketch before anybody else and i remember laughing my ass off and they just became a point i stopped laughing and i was just like this is like i've never seen anything like this in my life yes that was probably the uh the first kind of still like the one of the coolest things i got to be on i met charlie murphy yeah rest his soul oh man the
Starting point is 01:12:35 stories that went with that guy yeah he had oh my god his stories he had endless he told this story one time and it was all stuff from the 80s. It would be so like, yo, I was at this party. It was me, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Punky Brewster. Right. Punky Brewster. Like, what party is this? It was just all these, like, 80s icons, right?
Starting point is 01:12:58 And he was talking about Sugar Ray Leonard being drunk, talking about how quickly he could throw punches at your ribs and not hit you. And he said that these white guys were letting him do it. He was drunk and he kept hitting them. And they would, like, fold in half. And he was crying, laughing, telling them. And I was going, why the f*** would they do it? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:16 That's the nicer one, I can tell. Bill f***ing Burr, man. Thank you for joining us. All right. Thank you for having me. You guys were nice. Everybody got me all nervous. Let's not go why. Let's not go why. You know why. You know why. Everybody got me all nervous. Why? Why? Let's not go why. Let's not go why.
Starting point is 01:13:26 You know why. You know why. It ain't over yet, so just leave it alone. I'm going to be honest with you. I listened to one clip, and I shut it off after eight seconds. You. What clip was it? Somebody said something like, well, you know, sometimes whatever the hell he was talking

Like, nobody could see this coming. Baltimore is selling homes for a dollar. I've seen that yesterday. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:58 Don't be. This is not for you. This is for everybody. Everybody got jokes. Everybody got jokes. Go ahead. But no, this happened in Detroit back in the day, right? Yeah, in Detroit.
Starting point is 01:20:09 Did very well in Detroit. Okay. Yeah, so the goal is for Baltimore residents to buy the vacant and bought it up homes to renovate them and live in them. But some people are afraid that the initiative will promote gentrification. And everybody on the council, I know, everybody on the council voted yes, except for one voter, Nick Mosby. He was the only councilman that voted no. This morning, Baltimore's spending board approved a program
Starting point is 01:20:31 that will sell certain city-owned houses for just $1. 11 News reporter Tali Taylor is joining us now live in the newsroom. And Tali, not everyone was on board with this. Yeah, City Council President Nick Mosby succeeded in getting the city spending board to defer this item two weeks ago. More than 13,000 homes in Baltimore are vacant, and the City owns close to 1,000 of them. Individual buyers and community land trusts are eligible to buy these City-owned vacant homes for $1. Small nonprofits can purchase these homes for $1,000, and developers and larger nonprofits would need to pay $3,000.
Starting point is 01:21:04 The hope is that area residents will buy the vacant homes or lots, fix them up, and then live in them. So they should make it to where, you know, people from the community can actually purchase those properties. Get divs on it first. But I guess that, you know, what happens when you buy those properties, you got to also come with the renovation plan too, right? Most of the time, right?
Starting point is 01:21:21 Yeah, that's, I think, not necessarily. Yeah, so they sell it to, you know, the that actually live in baltimore live in the area because they want them to you know eat off of it and revitalize the community but what usually people do is they'll buy it for a dollar right and then they'll sell it to a white contractor or a black contractor any contractor for 20 30 000 so they'll make 20 30 000 the contractors will fix that house up and make three four hundred thousand so what are you going to do? You should go buy the houses. I am.
Starting point is 01:21:47 I'm going to buy the houses. And you know, Chris has a family of construction workers, right? And we're going to- What is Chris's- Shut up. What's Chris's ethnicity? He's very much Mexican. Are you being prejudiced?
Starting point is 01:21:56 No, I'm just asking. Oh, yes. Just asking. He's Mexican. Mexican and black. And black. Yes, come on now. Stop.
Starting point is 01:22:02 Only one side is really, really Mexican. So yeah, and that's the side all the construction workers I am and so they're going to fix up the houses and I'm gonna pay them so call the mayor
Starting point is 01:22:11 and yes I'm gonna call the mayor Brandon Scott tell him you got $20 I got $20 buy a whole block you know what I'm saying and I'm gonna do that I'm gonna
Starting point is 01:22:20 I don't know about like living in there but I'll probably put my family's in them or something you know something like that you rent them out but you know you gotta pay the my families in them or something. I mean, that's the way to do it. You rent them out, but you got to pay the taxes on them, too.
Starting point is 01:22:28 So whatever the taxes. But yeah, that's what they did in Detroit, and it fixed up Detroit a lot. It did gentrify Detroit a lot, though, but it also fixed up Detroit because Detroit was boarded up just similar to Baltimore, and they were able to clean a lot of those areas up. You see what Mike Epps just did in his home town. In Indiana, right? Yeah. If you do that, Jess, I would invest with you.
Starting point is 01:22:46 For real? Hell yeah. I mean, I don't need another dollar, y'all. I'm just talking about everything. Oh, like with the whole

Starting point is 01:26:18 Okay, full disclosure, I don't watch Yellowstone. I know it's a very popular show on Paramount+. Used to star Kevin Costner. Not sure if it still does new season supposed to start matthew mcconaughey and a 4j smith plays a character named lloyd peace or lloyd pierce i would say lloyd pierce that's all i know and i only know his character name because i do my googles now uh for he took to his instagram last weekend to do what everyone does nowadays and that's tell us something we don't need to know about something that's going on in their life too much information for he said he was kicked off a flight and left stranded in houston because he refused to sit next to another
Starting point is 01:26:52 passenger who was wearing a mask i don't know why he gave a damn so much but let's listen to his rant like i just got kicked off a plane and uh where the hell am I at? Because I told them that I didn't feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on. Yeah, I've been drinking. I've been sitting in the airport for three hours. Yeah, I'm drinking. I ain't drunk. But they throw me off the plane because I'm drunk. Because you people won't stand up and tell everybody what bull this is.
Starting point is 01:27:28 I just told him I didn't feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask and I'm off the plane. I've been drinking. I've been drinking for a for a for you didn't get kicked off the plane because you chose not to sit sit next to someone wearing a mask the airline didn't do you dirty and leave you stranded just because of that you got kicked off the plane because for you are clearly drunk okay you were clearly drunk and causing a disturbance we can see you for he all right we will come back to that in a minute let me humor him for a second you said that you got kicked off the plane because you didn't want to sit next to someone in a mask for what the hell that got to do with you why do you care that the person sitting next to you was wearing a mask this is like in 2020 when uh
Starting point is 01:28:13 covid deniers would get mad at people for wearing masks because they thought wearing masks meant you were an easily controlled sheep wearing a mask was a political thing in 2020 i guess in 2024 some folks are still holding on to that and i would like to tell those folks sit your dumb ass down and shut the f up forever and mind your business okay people was wearing masks at the airport and on planes long before covid and they'll be wearing masks in the airport and on planes long after covid okay remember when asians used to always be at the airport with gloves and mask on and we'd be like what they know that we don't only other person we saw wearing a mask and gloves for no reason before that was michael jackson
Starting point is 01:28:48 okay then 2020 came around and all of us started looking like we wanted to be starting something so if in 2024 people still choose to do what michael jackson and asians were doing way before covid that's their prerogative and for your drunk ass can't do nothing about it see for self-awareness is a superpower. And I know that folks don't always make the best decisions when they are under the influence of anything. And when you are under the influence of whatever you on. Okay. It makes the little bit of self-awareness you do have go out the window.
Starting point is 01:29:16 But in the words of Aristotle, I believe it was Aristotle. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. And knowing when you're drunk makes you even wiser. OK, because then you make good decisions. You don't drink and drive. You don't cause disturbances. You know when you need to go home. That is good to know.
Starting point is 01:29:34 OK, it's good to know when you when you've actually had too much to drink. Some people like to drink and drink until they are someone else's problem. And that's what happened with Fori. You drank and you drank and you drank until you became the problem of the airline. And they didn't want the problem so they kicked you off the plane. I respect it. When someone gets so drunk to the point where it's like talking to an extremely happy, severely brain damaged 3 year old, then guess what?
Starting point is 01:29:59 You have to put them in time out. And that's what happened to 4E J. Smith. Why should the airline or any of the passengers have to deal with your drunk ass? And then you made the piss poor decision to go on IG Live to vent about the airline and vent about the person wearing the mask. But all you did was show us that the plane and the airline was absolutely right to kick your drunk ass off the flight. Please give 4EJ Smith the sweet sound of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:30:40 Yee-haw. All right. I've never been that drunk. For real? When I'm late? Yeehaw Yeehaw Alright I've never been that drunk For real? When I'm like I've just never been that drunk Period in life Oh

Starting point is 01:33:18 I said I'm a lesbian. I share a child with a woman. Okay. So that's, like, baseline of why i'm asking this question right okay like we co-parent good she was my high school sweetheart but i got a current girlfriend and the only reason me and her broke up because she cheated on me but i have a current girlfriend and like whenever we're talking or whenever we're going over anything she always bring up my current girlfriend like i don't want to be conflicted on
Starting point is 01:33:47 arguing with her and she's like you always getting defensive like it's not me being defensive but it's like a conversation that we don't need to have every time we're talking about anything like we could be talking about what our child ate today and it's like well did your girlfriend cook anything well did your girlfriend do like i don't even understand why she's even being brought up right now you don't understand why she's arguing yeah so to be honest you you don't you don't understand why she's being brought up i mean she i i she said she's not mad she said she don't care she said she's not jealous but okay and reality one plus one equal two but that point, how do I deflect from the conversation every time?
Starting point is 01:34:28 Then listen, you keep it text only. That's just it. Like, if you can't stop talking, because obviously she's not over you. If we can't have a conversation about our child, where you're not implementing the fact that I have a girlfriend or anything, like you're bringing her up, then we just will will not talk verbally we'll have to talk through text like lay the ground rules now are you over her yeah i'm in a whole nother relationship that don't mean a damn thing but are you so you over it does not girl you know all right so is your ex in a relationship no she
Starting point is 01:35:01 hasn't been in one since she cheated on me see so obviously so she's not over you she's obviously bitter to my knowledge i don't know maybe you have but i don't see her business like that right right i wouldn't know if dating her not dating but i got you push forth to me she say that she's not dating she ain't been with nobody she's celibate that's because she all that is trying to get you back listen you know how many guys and told me yo i'm celibate yo like i'm just trying to get you back for real for real you know that's just he's not trying to give me back because he say i'm toxic listen and and studs love toxicity okay a lot of people love toxicity so that's just what it is she your baby mother's not over you. Your ex is not over you.
Starting point is 01:35:45 She's not. How you can move forward with that is just lay the ground rules. It don't matter. Listen, I'm not going to keep talking to you if you got to bring up my girlfriend in our verbal conversations. It's not. We can do text only. We can still co-parent. But we will co-parent through text, email, whatever, until you get the point.
Starting point is 01:36:02 I don't want to hear about my girlfriend from you. And me being in a relationship, that shouldn't be a problem because we're not getting back together. Whether you celibate or not, you're just still the mother of my child. That's it. That's all we got. That's it. It sounded. She's scared to bring that back to that stuff.

Starting point is 01:45:46 Thank you, bro. Yeah, but I want to tell you, Steve, pick your brain pretty much. So I'm in a relationship with my girlfriend for five years now. And, you know, my love language, I'm a very intimate person, and I'm a very affectionate man. You know, but that's not really her love language. And, you know, we've spoken about it, and, you know, we've talked about, you know, different things like, you know but that's not really her love language and you know we've spoken about it and you know we've talked about you know different things like you know toys whatever case may be um i've even brought up you know um couples counseling and things of that nature but i don't i don't like
Starting point is 01:46:17 the feeling of like i think i'm bothering her when i want intimacy or i'm gonna be affectionate you know she doesn't you know i really love this you know that's or I want to be affectionate. You know, she doesn't. You know, I really love this girl. I really want to be with her. I want to spend my life. But I want to know possibly what are some things that maybe I can do or we can do together. Yeah, it can't just be things that you can do. I mean, if that's the person that you are and the person that she is not, then y'all have to kind of meet in the middle.
Starting point is 01:46:43 You said you had this conversation with her? Yeah, numerous times, which is not of my nature'all have to kind of meet in the middle. You said you had this conversation with her? Yeah, numerous times. Which is not of my nature because I feel like I'm a person, if I speak on it once, that's really it. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:46:51 I care about this, you know, this woman so much that I'm going to, you know, work on things and really, you know,
Starting point is 01:46:58 stay in character and nurture this relationship. Yeah. I do what I need to be with. Okay. Are there any other problems? Like, is it any other problems going on or just that no that's literally that's it and i feel like that's kind of what's
Starting point is 01:47:11 scaring me because if i do plan on marrying this woman i don't want to feel like i'm you know suffering in silence i feel like you know i'm lacking something that you know i need or i want in a relationship yeah uh because it could be something deeper for her. Like, for instance, like, you know, she don't like affection because something had happened like to her before or childhood or something. She don't like being touched on too much or just period. Like it. I think it goes. It could go a lot deeper. Like, I don't know her, you but and i i've known people that that they're like very anti-affectionate and touchy-feely because things happen to them or because they were
Starting point is 01:47:52 over-touched as a child by certain family members or or just men period they were grossed out by men you know what i'm saying like did you ever get to the bottom of what that could be for her because it's probably a problem for her at the end of the day because i don't doubt that she loves you you know she you feel love every other way right of course most definitely yeah so kind of get to the bottom of like why you know what i'm saying really start picking up brain like all right babe i know this is not who you are but like tell me like i don't want to say something happened to you like this is a safe space it could be it should be a safe space for y'all to to open up to me about maybe the past a relationship before where you were uncomfortable or something like that because i'm gonna tell you firsthand experience my boyfriend chris he's very affectionate touchy
Starting point is 01:48:33 feely i wasn't like that um but we had i had to compromise that nothing happened to me i just was never like that i i don't like um like the word clingy or anything like I don't like clingy people but now I'm totally different with Chris sometimes a certain person will pull that out of you but if it's not being pulled out of her by you then it may be something that that she went through you get I'm saying but it still has to be a level of compromise where I wasn't a big kisser I am now you know what I'm saying like I don't like people touching me all of that you know like touching my skin and I don't got no love handles. I am now. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't like people touching me, all of that, you know,
Starting point is 01:49:06 like, touching my skin and all. I don't got no love handles since I got a big six-pack, you know, but now I'm all for that, you know? So just get to the bottom of why she may feel like that. Yes, ma'am. All right, thank you.
Starting point is 01:49:16 I appreciate it. No problem. But check back in with me, for real. You don't got to only call me up here. You can hit the DM for the Carefully Reckless podcast and just check back in with me because I
Starting point is 01:49:25 want to know. Good luck, brother. Thank you so much, Jess. I appreciate you. No problem. I love you guys. I appreciate what you

And she had tweeted, like, don't put me in that.
Starting point is 01:50:28 Like, all drugs have messed up my family. So don't even try to put me in that. I don't even know why they feel the need to defend themselves against a bunch of people online that's just trying to agitate them. It don't even matter. At one point. No, I understand that it does get annoying. It has to get annoying. But they care.
Starting point is 01:50:44 Like, they care because imagine waking up every day and somebody just coming at you about something. Yeah, but her saying that is not going to make them shut up. It's actually going to make them continue to go harder.
Starting point is 01:50:53 Because she responded. It might make her feel better. It might make her feel like, yo, I have to respond. This is how I feel. But she's been off for a minute. Like, she's been off the internet for a minute,
Starting point is 01:51:01 chilling, enjoying her life, getting ready for her tour. Shaq denied shooting his Shot With Ice Spice. I would, too. Offset Tells Shannon Sharpe To Stop Wearing Tight Pants. You too big for that. Stop looking. Damn.
Starting point is 01:51:12 Great advice. But no, why y'all looking? That's good advice. Why? But also, people forget that Shannon Sharpe had hip surgery, too. So that's why I look even more uncomfortable. That's what it really is. It's really hip surgery.
Starting point is 01:51:22 So y'all be looking at his hips? I mean, I guess. It'd be odd really is. It's really hip surgery. So y'all be looking at his hips? I mean, I guess. It be odd when men say other men what to wear because, I mean,
Starting point is 01:51:31 I don't know what men do it for, but I don't get dressed for other men. Exactly. You know what I mean? Like Shannon. If I like it, my wife like it,
Starting point is 01:51:37 well, who cares? And he might like the way his hips look. Yeah, he might like the way his hips look. That's just like, stop wearing tight pants.
Starting point is 01:51:42 Like, if I got on something too tight that look a little awkward on me, you're not going to tell me? I like it though. What happened if, well on Something too tight That look a little awkward On me You not gonna tell me I like it though What happened Well I don't Never mind You definitely just said

Rewriting history for clout is not cute. Both y'all some clowns. Shut up. Glorilla said it's too hot outside to have only one man. I remember I used to think like that. Yeah, I swear. For real. What the temperature?
Starting point is 01:52:13 Oh, just because it was hot out you got your little booty shorts on and all that type of stuff? It's just like you don't want to be tied down if the temperature is given. Yeah. Yeah, you really don't.
Starting point is 01:52:20 It's like, oh, why would I come in the house with you and it's outside so many people outside? I would think you would want to be with one person in the heat. Especially when you're black. Because we generate heat.
Starting point is 01:52:28 So the more of us. No, it's the cold. It's the cold. Now, you're not more than one person at one time. Damn. Okay. You took it back, back, back. All right.
Starting point is 01:52:37 Ja Rule wants to bring back fun hip hop. Too much negativity. Last week, you just said you beat up 50 Cent, the biggest smoker. All right. Jussie Smollett's appeal gets approved to go to Supreme Court. Look, he ain't letting it go. He said, I lied and I don't care. But no, give me my first sentence.
Starting point is 01:52:54 No, because they tried to change his sentence on him. They did say that he would only have to do community service or something like that. And then they tried to go in and change it. So he's like, no, give me my first. Keep the deal, basically. I get it. Now, Jan like, no, give me my first, keep the deal, basically. I get it. Now, Jeannie Ma is against sealing divorce documents.
Starting point is 01:53:08 Last month, Jeannie filed a motion for the course to seal sensitive personal and financial information in their divorce proceedings, right? Jeannie also asked
Starting point is 01:53:15 that filings related to their two-year-old daughter Monica will also be kept private. I think we should all understand that. But reports are saying that for some reason,
Starting point is 01:53:23 Jeannie do not, she don't want the document sealed. They said, are saying that for some reason, Jeannie do not show what the documents still they said. Yeah, they said she's questioning Jeezy's motives for why he's limiting public access to certain filings. She's pretty much saying that she doesn't plan to be messy or or anything like that. So stealing the documents is unnecessary and unwarranted. She thinks the public has the right to access their filings. No, they don't. Girl, are you dumb?
Starting point is 01:53:47 I don't like that. Like, what do you mean? And Jeezy always has been a private person, but also why would you want the public in your family business? Why? After the statement, I don't want to be messy, but then it's like, no, this is private stuff. This is our private stuff.
Starting point is 01:54:01 This should be handled in a courtroom, behind doors. Exactly. Handle what you handle and keep it moving. And you've been attempting to be messy since the divorce. So what are you talking about? I think this phone, I think people really walk into situations thinking that it's millions of people with them at all times. And those millions of people are privy to every single thing about their life, every aspect of their life. No, that is not the case. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:23 Janie, I think this is very clowned out of you and I just it's just crazy like what are you talking about and that was the same thing that happened with the Schumpers right remember when Tiana didn't want any of the uh divorce uh details out there and then Iman filed for their names to be used so that's how we started knowing and seeing stuff like nah like some people do like privacy that's right for real all right Portia Williams admits that Simon's immigration status and criminal history contributed to her decision to file for divorce oh my god no absolutely yep red keep don't look over here I know you like her look
Starting point is 01:54:55 she said that she never knew about the his sketchy his sketchy past now he was charged with credit card fraud bank fraud identity theft and listen getting into a fake marriage to get a green card now i already said this before months ago but nobody listened she said that she even asked him about his immigration status and criminal history and he never told her about any of this but look for sure you wanted to marry him so quick anyway i think they got married like after like a month or whatever something like that and then how you get him is how you lose him you know what i'm saying like you you have to listen i google everybody i do i deal with i don't care especially when chris walked up to me with them locks and he's talking about he mexican and black first of all i never seen a
Starting point is 01:55:34 mexican with locks ever you know what i'm saying it's like all right no case search him london real quick you know but sometimes things don't come right up so every three months I do a little case search. You know, she didn't do that. What do you mean when you say how you get them is how you lose them? What, he scammed her to marry him? What you saying? No, listen. Well, how you get them is how you lose them.
Starting point is 01:55:54 But how she got them was crazy. Remember, she took one peek at that house she spoke to on one time when she was friends with Phelan on the show. And then. I didn't watch the show, so I don't know. Exactly. But people who did, you get them or you lose them. Remember. All right. show and then i didn't watch the show so i don't know exactly but people who did you get them out you lose and remember all right then she was like once that information came out she started to find out some other stuff that he was hiding from her she started to feel like she was married to a
Starting point is 01:56:12 stranger so she filed for divorce that's why i said who the f that i'm already part two envy why do we have to reinforce all types of stereotypes like why does he have to reinforce every negative nigerian stereotype why yeah you say people be getting in their own way but you would but you would understand that like why you marry somebody and then you find out all this stuff after oh yeah you don't want to be tied to you don't be a part because people were saying like a month ago she was with him on vacation but she might have just found out she was proud to be a guaboria what country is that so and for real all right real quick and then the text assignment she said there is nothing in this world that would have told me i would have to divorce you or that i would even contemplate
Starting point is 01:57:01 leaving you or even for a day i've always stressed to you. That I feel safe with you. And how important for someone like me. This is. But all of this shows me. That you have not cared for me the same. And that is a huge problem. Your job is to protect PJ and I. And you have not.
Starting point is 01:57:15 Where the hell that text message came from? I don't know. But she put it out there. And it's in quotations. And it's real. Allegedly. When the TV show start? When Real Housewives of Atlanta.
