Starting point is 00:03:58 She did two. She only did two days. But how was Cardi? Didn't I do two days? Yes, she did great. I wanted to see Little Ken, but we got A Buggy. A Buggy. And partisan.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Party, yeah. Yes. Loved it, though. It was great. I don't know who the DJ was in the beginning of the show. Spinn King. Oh, Spin King. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I know he did not let us sing none of the songs, honey. He was switching songs every 8 to 10 seconds. I guess he wanted us to keep up with TikTok. I don't know what was going on. I'm telling you. Once everybody thought that. their favorite part was coming up.
Starting point is 00:04:28 It was something else. Another intro. Yeah, it was a flip star and Spinking opened up DJ. Oh, okay. She did put on a phenomenal show, though. Yes, she did. I was very impressed by the production. You know, that's what I'm paying attention to when I'm at this.
Starting point is 00:04:40 She was paying attention to the production. Choreography, outfit changes. Mad, pirate, very aggressive. It was very gross. Very aggressive. A lot of pyro. I love that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah, I love that. Yeah, she put on a fantastic show. And she's funny. Like, she's entertaining. Yes, she is. Like, in between her. songs, like, you, she talks to us. It's like she's doing a set, but she literally
Starting point is 00:05:00 just being herself. It's so funny. It's interesting to watch, because, you know, we've been watching Cardi B for so long. Yeah. Like, you know, from the days of her being on Instagram, and on Instagram, you can see how big her personality was. And so, you know, if you had any type of vision,
Starting point is 00:05:14 you knew she was going to be a star in some way, she had a lot. This didn't know whether it was going to be TV, you know, movies, but then she decided to do music. So when you see her on on stage in her element, it's like that is where that, that light, that type of light, It's supposed to be on that type of stage. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Even before all that, when she was in the club, I remember, like, when she would come to the club, it was all about her. It didn't matter who was hosting that night. It didn't matter who was DJing. It was all about Barty. Well, I never saw her in the script. I have, but I DJed when she was there. But just the fact that. So you remember that ass back then is what you saying.
Starting point is 00:05:47 No, I remember she's getting... That's what you said, technically that's what you just said. No, no, no. I remember she used to get paid more than me, and I was like, how? Hey, yo. I swear. And you would see that people would come to see her. I mean, how?
Starting point is 00:05:56 Her personality. She's on the stage naked. I'm DJing. I'm DJing. So you should have pop some ass. Maybe next time. But she would grab the mic on the stage and be like dancing and talk about him. So you always go too far.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Let's get the show cracking. I'm just telling you, I can see how she got more money than you in the script club. What are you talking about? No, I'm not talking about. No, I'm not talking to you guys no more. You think you both to make more than Cardi beat in the script club. Envi just said he should have made more than Cardi beat back in the day in the script club. Was she DJing naked or something?
Starting point is 00:06:27 No. Oh, right. But I was the premier DJ back then. Oh, okay. But yeah, now, she was, people came to see her. She would grab the mic. She put on the show, and this is not just the day of show. She would put on kind of like she did.
Starting point is 00:06:37 She's talking to people in between sets and making people feel, yeah, that's what she did back there. Talking them right out that money and that while and all that. That's right. If you say, when I see you stand by Cardi B, I believe you see too bad. And you wanted to pop ass with Cardi B back. Oh, my goodness, man. You're a wild boy, man. And Frigie, Frigie, Frigie, Frigie.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Oh my goodness. Fettie Wop will be joining us today. Fettie Wop has a new album. Xavier out today. We're going to kick it with Fettie Wop. And let's get the show crack. We got some Cardi B to start the show. Play some big body, man.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Bodega baddies, okay. Yeah. She had a dope Spanish set. Yeah, she did. It was lit. It felt like the Super Bowl a little bit. It did it. It did.
Starting point is 00:07:14 It felt like uptown. Yes. Them the Dominicans was going crazy. Dominic and the Dominican, the men, the Dominican, the menacabana. Stop doing all that. What are you doing? You be disrespecting your own people.
Starting point is 00:07:23 That's the breakfast, good morning. Shut up. See me in his face. We're talking about prostate exams. And I was saying... Prostate exams. Yeah, we were talking about prostate exams, and I was saying how I found out about
Starting point is 00:07:33 how you can get your prostate check through blood. Correct. But the doctor was telling me that while he was about to do... The finger to the director. Right. Yes. Let's just tell him, hold up, wait, no, do the blood down. No, it wasn't a whole level, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Okay. I let him finish. All right. Okay. What was his name? Anyway, morning, everybody. we are to breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Mimi?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Good morning. That was me trying to keep my eyes open. Oh, Mimi's tired. Mimi's tired. He was out last night. Mimi was in there looking like a bodega baddy reporter. That's right. All right, y'all. So we start this morning with the latest on the chaos at the nation's airports.
Starting point is 00:08:15 There are signs that it may be getting better. So President Trump says he plans to order that TSA officers be paid after working for weeks without pay during the government funding fight over the Department of Homeland Security. So about 50,000 TSA workers. They've been going without a paycheck for more than a month, and that has led to major problems at airports across the country.
Starting point is 00:08:34 We've all seen the videos. Officers have been calling out six. Some have quit, and security lines in some cities have stretched for hours. So the federal government, they are now moving some TSA officers around the country to deal with the worst problem spot. So, for an example, agents from Dallas, They're going to go to Houston to help out with long lines there. The president says the government will use the money that was already approved last year to start paying TSA officers again.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Now, that move could bring more workers back into the workplace to help get those airport lines under control, especially as we head into a busy travel season. It is still spring break. But this does not end the shutdown. Lawmakers have not reached a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security, and that is still adding to frustration. So Congress, they are set to leave Washington today for a two-week recess still without a deal. And some TSA union workers say ICE agents are not really helping. They're actually just kind of getting in the way. Let's listen to a TSA union worker and what he's spilling about this.
Starting point is 00:09:38 On a personal level, I don't think we need them here. We need to be paid. Why would you bring another agency to be TSA when you already have TSA? They've been standing around outside the whole time. So I would hate to call out another agency, but what I'm getting from some of the officers is that they're just in the way. Now we're just, now we're on top of having the heavy burden. Now we have to train them in how we do our job. I agree.
Starting point is 00:10:05 It's unnecessary fear. It's unnecessary anxiety. They're getting paid. The TSA workers are not. And the TSA workers got to train them to do a job that they're getting paid for, but the TSA workers aren't. So that's more work for the TSA workers. Now I've got to train people. She literally said that Monday.
Starting point is 00:10:21 It's like another slap in our face. I'm bringing the agency and that's getting paid to work now. Sounds stupid. But now I got to train you. So now I got to do more work that I'm not getting paid for. And they're the reason that I'm not getting paid and they're in my face. Getting paid. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:36 In Atlanta, a moment that's going viral this morning, Tyler Perry, you may have heard of him. He went to the Atlanta airport yesterday to hand out money to workers to help with rent, daycare, groceries. but he was politely turned away because federal workers are not allowed to accept cash on the job. We talked about this literally. Yeah, I'm telling you didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Yeah, so there's a limit to what you can donate. Some airports across the country, they've set up donation programs that you cannot just hand out money. And so I would have been like, meet me around the corner. Yeah, oh, I swear. All of them need to, like,
Starting point is 00:11:09 what is it? Start them go find me's and shout them out as people going to pay. I thought that they could give it to the manager and the manager could distribute it to the employees. Up to $20. Yeah, Oh, $20.
Starting point is 00:11:20 It can be cash. It got to be a gift card. $20. My thing is, I just wonder who's telling on them. Like, who saw Tyler handing out the cash and said, hey, man, Tyler Perry over their hands in our money. He can't do that. Because nothing is getting paid.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Probably one of my cities, to be honest. And who's going to miss Tyler Perry begins giving it like money. Yeah, once you come with that money. It's Tyler in Atlanta airport. For sure. All right. Well, coming up in the next hour, a comedy skit is going viral. but not everyone is laughing.

Starting point is 00:18:00 He had the turtleneck through two outfits. We had a bunch of changes. Well, I only saw the white suit to the black suit and then I fell asleep. I tried to watch it after.

Starting point is 00:19:24 What? Like, I know she has like super fans and I don't know where everybody that's listening and joined in on the journey. But like seeing her, like I remember the first time I met her when she came to Delaware in Patience and shop to see the production. The see the production last night, I'm like, this is superstar. But for her to know even business-wise that like that's what it should give, that's what she elevate too.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Like, I was like, girl, go off. Anna shows you that every single thing that has happened to you in your life matters. Because think about all of the stuff she probably learned in the script club that you literally saw her doing on stage last night. Oh, baby. It looks incredible. Yes, I posted a video. Listen, she was going crazy.
Starting point is 00:20:02 They had, like, different segments where, like, they were, bring up the pole. You know, Cardi do her thing with the dancers. Cardi was going crazy. But it's also, like, she's so funny. Even when she's going down in between the stages, like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know. She bought the big taco out. That was hilarious.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, that was funny. I like that. She bought a big taco out and then they did the whole Spanish thing. Yeah, and she walks up that's when she takes her drink of water. You know,
Starting point is 00:20:20 you've seen it before, yeah, but yeah, I just was proud of Cardney and wanted to say that. She had a vision. I'm so happy. I'm so proud of him. Go ahead. The circling contest that the guy won. So I asked one of my friends about him.
Starting point is 00:20:31 My friend said his name is Benji and he actually helps coordinate some of the poll stuff within the show. I didn't like it. Oh, okay. Oh, I got a video on him, baby. He went off. The main reason I didn't like it is because
Starting point is 00:20:40 they were giving away $5,000. Yeah, it was like a twerk concept. It was nothing but women out there, you know, twerking trying to get to $5,000. And here come this guy. Yeah. This big old guy twerking his ass on. He didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:20:51 He was on the head thing. He was taking money out of women's pockets. Let me tell you something. How'd he do, though? That was a DEI. He was the only man. He was willing to pop ass in front of the garden. But scale one at 10, how did he pop it?
Starting point is 00:21:06 I ain't even paying no attention. Jess was you upset that he took money out of women's cuff? He wasn't because he was a man. No. No. He gave it up. He was not better than some of them women. There was this one girl with the gray on with the glasses.
Starting point is 00:21:16 They didn't bring her on stage though. Oh, with the black top? Yeah, she was on stage. Yes, she had on like a checkerboard pants. She was slim. Her ass was like my name. Yes, baby. She ate jail.

Starting point is 00:21:36 Only at a party, it's not a concept. It's not a concert. It's a party. I need you to understand. I'm not listening to you. me a little booty and no booty. Yesterday you said you have a choice. I am choosing not to engage with you right now.
Starting point is 00:21:46 It was not just a Cardi B concert. It was a party. Even when they did the Tart contest, I'm like, what concert did you go to? And legitimate, we out here like, yes,
Starting point is 00:21:55 twerk up there. Why'd you go up there, y'all up there cheering that man that took that money on them girls. Why, you ain't going to be better than all of a woman
Starting point is 00:22:02 that they bought on stage and then they brought one girl up there and she was nice up top, her ass was given, but she had Uncle Legs. I was like, damn, Like knockleash?
Starting point is 00:22:13 No, not knockleaze. It was just like, you know the legs that your uncle got. I don't care what you say. That man was a D-E-I hype. Okay? It was a bunch of women up there. And because he was the only guy that was willing to go up there and shake ass, the crowd lost it and went crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:27 He should not have got that $5,000. Well, he probably didn't if he helped her in the show, you said, Lauren, if he works the production. I don't know that for a fact. That's what I was told. I put it in my group chat with my girls, with the girls, you know, my guy friends. And they was like, yes, Benji, he quirk. And I was like, oh, so. That's why he knew what he was doing up there.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Well, listen, if y'all don't care about men making more money than women, I don't give a damn either. Y'all don't care about men taking money out of women's pockets. Why should I give a damn? Not your own. I don't care. All right. I don't care. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:54 But also last night, and I did not, look, I'll be honest, I did not get the watches full verses. I tried. The verses went down. It was like at the same time. So Tyreeke, Tyreek combined the names. Tyrese and Tank. Yeah, his name would be Tyreek. Tyreece and Tank went back.
Starting point is 00:23:11 back and forth at a verses in LA. And they were, I mean, I expected them to be very entertaining, but they were just that. Very entertaining. So I'm just going to play a few moments that I saw, and I also saw it like on the timeline. Well, first of all, I know we were having a conversation about the songs, like, because, you know, they do the 10 songs each.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And we were trying to figure out here, because remember we were going to do our little mini-mix, what songs we played for Tank, what songs we played for Tyrese? And I was like, well, Tank got a lot of songs that he's written that a lot of people don't know or give him credit for. So last night he did, oh, Omarion's, oh, and I didn't know that that was,
Starting point is 00:23:45 I did not know that. That's always the cheat code and the verses. Yeah, I don't know. But the songs that you wrote, you know what I mean? It's not just about the songs that you perform, it's your career. So the songs that he read,
Starting point is 00:23:55 the songs that he performed on. That he wrote the songs that he appeared on like Tyrese and Chingie. Like, just Chingy came out last night. Yeah, I mean, and Tyrese did the hook to that. So that's what verses about your whole career. He's singing his part. Like, if you're going to do, you can't.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Well, take said the boys are on tour. Because they were on tour. Yeah. I don't know. I just feel like, no. Like, do your songs. You know what I'm saying? I know you wrote the songs.
Starting point is 00:24:17 But if you're not the artist, I just feel like if you're not going against another writer. I agree with that. It should be. I think it's your whole catalog. Because when Sean Garrett in the dream went against each other, that made a lot of sense because they had their own songs, but they also wrote a lot of songs to other people.
Starting point is 00:24:31 If you are a writer, you should be going up against somebody that actually has written a lot of songs like Justice said. I agree. Well, there was also another song moment. original song moment that, you know, was everywhere last night as well, too. So in between the sets, Tyrese was changing outfits.
Starting point is 00:24:48 It was like a whole rollout. Like they got there for the rehearsal. That was like an outfit thing. And then he's on stage or changing outfits. And Tank makes it a funny moment. It was funny throughout the whole show, but makes it a funny moment about Tyrese's turtleneck. Let's take a listen.
Starting point is 00:25:00 You recycle that turtleneck. You should take off that turtleneck. Anytime you feel like a take off that turtleneck. Oh, I know, I know that was on a fly. That's like we used to do a while and out. And Tank is so talented, on the spot and funny, so I know that you ain't got nothing, Tyrese? Yes, we got some Tyrese too.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yeah, so we got, like Tyrese wasn't even there. No, Tyrese was there and he did, there were certain songs that we were waiting for him to hear, but signs of love making was one of the ones that I saw that I was like, I kid, and Mike was on. Who won the verse? Right. I saw people online saying they were giving it to Tank and I didn't get to watch a full one so I don't have a pick I saw a person saying Tyrese.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I saw people saying Tyrese. You watched more of it than we did. I watched it. I would say, of course, you know more of Tyrese songs, but I think Tank was more of the showman last night. So entertaining. He was more entertaining. He was playing to the women.
Starting point is 00:26:04 He was talking to the crowd. So I would put it smack dad in the middle. And the reason I like Tank is I did not know a lot of Tank songs. But we're still in it. Canadian women are looking for more. More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world are out of them. And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast. I'm Jennifer Stewart.
Starting point is 00:26:24 And I'm Catherine Clark. And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women. Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey. So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us. Listen to the Honest Talk podcast and IHeart Radio or wherever you listen to your podcast. I'm Bailey Taylor and this is it girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news.
Starting point is 00:26:57 I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now. As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day, just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm telling you, the guy was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's?
Starting point is 00:29:25 Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film.

Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C. It's so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU.

Starting point is 00:31:04 to that next hour because Ray J called the winner himself Or somebody he thought lost We'll get into that And the next latest All right All right. All right when we come back
Starting point is 00:31:10 We got front page news And then Fetty Wap will be joining us So don't go anywhere It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Morning everybody is DJ NV Jasselaris Shalamaine Nagai
Starting point is 00:31:18 We are the Breakfast Club Let's get to some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NB, Jess Chaldemaine. How y'allel doing this Friday? Page, Mimi. Uh-huh. Say it again.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Hi. I want to be tanker, Tyrese. Shut up. So what? You still do comedy? Wow. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I'm saying. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Go ahead, Mimi. We start this hour with some breaking news out of Washington. So this is an update from the last hour.
Starting point is 00:31:47 So after a 40-day shutdown, the Senate has reached a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security, at least part of it. So, Senators approved a deal at 220 this morning after an all-night session. So here's what the deal does. It would fund TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard, and several other Homeland Security agencies, which would help keep airports open, travel back to normal. But the deal does not include funding for ICE deportation, enforcement operations. And so that has been the main source of the main issue that's been holding everything up. So this comes just hours, though, after President Trump said that he would move to immediately pay
Starting point is 00:32:23 TSA officers, of course, who have been working, you know, for weeks without pay. So this deal could bring some relief, especially at airports, but it's not done yet. It has to be passed by the House and lawmakers are still scheduled to leave Washington today, but it is expected to be signed by the president if they
Starting point is 00:32:40 can get that done. So they won't get paid today then? Because today is a day that's supposed to miss another check. Today is their payday. I doubt it will happen today, yeah. Or maybe next week. And I mean, I should still be in the airport. this weekend. Pretty much. Pretty much.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And switching gears, there's a new fight brewing between the state of Florida and the National Football League over something called the Rooney Rule. Florida's Attorney General is now demanding that the NFL suspend the rule
Starting point is 00:33:05 saying it violates Florida's law because it considers race in the hiring process. So are you all familiar with the Rooney Rule and what it does? No, I'm not. You have to interview
Starting point is 00:33:15 a certain amount of black candidates for head coaching jobs. Yeah, so it does. does not require teams to hire them, but you have to interview them for a minority coach or a head job or a front office job to make sure more people are getting a fair shot at the job. Well, the NFL, they put the rules in place years ago after criticism that more black coaches were not getting those opportunities. A supporter say the rule opens the doors, creates fair competition, but critics say hiring should be completely race neutral. and now Florida is warning the NFL that the rule, if the rule isn't
Starting point is 00:33:52 suspended, the state will take legal action and Florida is home to what? Three NFL teams? Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville. Yes, three. Yeah, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:06 And switching gears again, comedian Drewski. He's getting a lot of backlash this morning from conservatives. Why? Because he's hilarious. Hmm, well, he posted a skit online called How Conservative Women Act in America.
Starting point is 00:34:21 And that's where he puts on a blonde wig, heavy makeup. He plays a dramatic conservative character in a series of over-the-top scenes. He's praying at rallies, doing long speeches, ordering fancy dog treats, the whole thing. I think we have a little bit of a snippet. War is raising in Iran. We're praying for all the soldiers and troops. That's great that you're praying. I know the kids that died when the USA hit the towers.
Starting point is 00:34:45 It broke my heart. That is the... Oh. In what ways have you grown closer to Jesus? I serve a righteous God. And that is why we say our prayers. We are all his children. Well, it's more of a visual.
Starting point is 00:35:02 You got to have to see it. That's hilarious, no. But you got to see it. But yes, that is. Drewski's makeup artist is amazing. What? Oh, my God. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Everybody that keep Aten, Erica, Kirk, those are not your friends, Erica. Anybody sent you that video. your friend sent you that video and said Drewski's making fun of you, they're not your friends, and that's how they see you, because he ain't say he was Erica Kirks. No, not. I never said her name. All he said was conservative women. I can think of a lot of conservative women before I
Starting point is 00:35:29 think of Erica, but that's how they think you look, Erica. They ain't your friends if they sent you that video and said Druski making fun of you. He never said her name, but, you know, conservatives have come out and now they're saying things. So, Senator Ted Cruz, he said the video is beneath contempt. I don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear that from nobody who supports President Donald J. Trump.
Starting point is 00:35:50 And several other conservative commentators, they've also come out. They say it crosses the line. I don't want to hear none of this. And they're pointing out that she just lost her husband and she should be off limits. I don't want to hear none of that. Donald Trump just literally said he was glad Robert Mueller died. Yeah. Amongst a million other things he said that have been below contempt.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I don't hear. Nope. But there are other Sharr who said, you know, she's a political figure who gives speeches. She runs a major political organization and that makes her fair game. But he wasn't made. He didn't say he was making fun of him. He never said her. All he said was conservative women.
Starting point is 00:36:20 He could have been trying to put his bid in for white chicks too. We never know. That's right. And after one day he had 62 million people watch that video. Hello? I love it. I think he's like at $100 million. Yeah, 100 million.
Starting point is 00:36:29 100 million? I just checked. I just looked at Instagram. 297,000 comments. Shout out to Druski. All I know is this. Erica, anybody that sent you that video and said Druski making fun of you,
Starting point is 00:36:39 they are not your friend. Okay, they think you look ridiculous. Because Drusky looked ridiculous in that video. Yeah, he did. They think you look ridiculous, Erica. So I want you to know that. And finally, really, really quick, because we went to go see Cardi last night. There's a new college course that's putting hip hop in the classroom in a whole new way.
Starting point is 00:36:56 So shout out to Howard University and good morning to all my fellow Bisons. They are launching a new course focused on Cardi B, but it's not just about her music. So the class will study business, marketing, branding, cultural impact behind her album rollout. So basically it's going to teach students how the music industry really works using Cardi B as a case study. The course will look at everything From marketing strategy Live performance The social media branding
Starting point is 00:37:21 And how artists build their careers How they make money School officials say this is about Treating Hip Hop like a global business And a cultural force that it is And giving students real world Industry knowledge Not just textbook theory
Starting point is 00:37:34 It is I love it that It starts this fall There's no blueprint to be successful in hip hop though Because you can't look at a Cardi B and say that's the way to do it Because Cardi B is just special Like some things are in you
Starting point is 00:37:44 not on you. Yeah, but her, she's not just an artist and, you know, a great personality. She's a business woman. So that part of it will be taught too, right?
Starting point is 00:37:54 You said the marketing, the branding, they'll follow. Yeah, they'll follow from the beginning and see the moves that she made that. But you can't duplicate that. You can't duplicate it.
Starting point is 00:38:01 What she was doing on social media with special to her. You can duplicate it, but some of the moves that she said, yeah, to study the, what she did, when she decided not to do the strip clubs
Starting point is 00:38:10 anymore, when she started marketing and doing the guerrilla marketing and all of stuff, yeah, you can study that. You can't do it. You can't do it.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Not everybody could do it, but you can study how she did it, though. And even furthermore, patience, her, that's not just our part. What is it? Not just her public is. Oh, way, well, what in my bed? I don't know what else she was
Starting point is 00:38:29 because nobody else is trying to effing help me. But, yes, patience, her. Like, you study her too. She actually is a good roadmap to, like, success and business and stuff. You know, she's been with Cardi forever since the beginning. And then look at all that, just her team, all the people around her.
Starting point is 00:38:43 so it should be a really good class. F both of y'all niggins. What did we do? We didn't even do nothing. We had to figure out what she was trying to say. I can't help you. I can't help you. I know what she did.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I know what she did. That's why I can answer. I don't know what you was trying to say. I had to figure it out. Is that, is she just Cardi's? I don't know. We don't know. There's no patience.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Now y'all don't know. I don't. I know her manager. I know where she started with Shaft. I know her manager, Tubby. I like, I don't know. Patience is like a brand. Patience is everything.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I don't know, patience gets things done. She's a publicity. She's a brand man. I don't know. Solute the patience. Drop on the clues, bottom patience. I don't know her technical.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Yeah, I don't know her technical. Yeah, I don't know the name. I just feel like that's cardies of a half. I mean, I don't know. I just didn't know the proper position. Why? Neither do us. We didn't know.
Starting point is 00:39:29 We didn't know. I thought y'all would know. Why? Well, that is your front page news. I'm B.B. Brown. Follow me at Bimmy Brown. She get mad at us when we didn't know. I'm trying to help you know.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I'm trying to know. I'm saying, we didn't get no, she's mad at us. Give us the middle of pink. All she doing is hands more than us. You know. All right. When we come back, Freddie Wop will be joining us at Old Move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:40:17 Easy on them. Easy on them. I feel good, man. Already, did you really want to put this album out of? You felt like you had to. Yeah, that was a fast turn around. Like, this is a, like an organic thing? Or you just like, man, I got it. This. No, it's definitely organic. Okay, okay. I wanted to. For sure. Okay. Now, the name of the album is Xavier. Yeah. What is, who is Xavier is like my alter ego? Okay. I'm saying like just a more mature version of myself Like The one that sat back and took its time
Starting point is 00:40:43 One that Just watches this around us You know more more mental awareness Just No just not allowing Not allowing no BS this time You know what I'm saying Just a better version of my old self
Starting point is 00:40:57 Now how has it been since you've been home A couple months now How has that feeling been Because I've seen even when you move around You move around a lot lighter Yeah It's more you really look where you where you're performing now.
Starting point is 00:41:09 It's not just performing in any club and strip club. Like, I see that you're making a conscious effort to do things a different type of way. So explain that and break that down a little bit. You know, like, when I was down, I just kept telling myself, like, you know what I mean? Like, if you want to be the best, you got to treat yourself like the best. You know what I'm saying? No matter how people view you, no matter what you read in the comments or if you're not as, as, as, everybody else, like, you still have to carry yourself a certain way.
Starting point is 00:41:35 And I believe that when you follow that mindset It'll come into fruition for me so That's just what I'm doing like I'm treating myself like a superstar Was there a time where you had to cut people off because they came around and they expected old fettie The wild out fettie that did you have to cut people off or was a little easier than that It already happened when I first came home Like it wasn't it wasn't no it wasn't the space to cut you off like you mean It was already gone
Starting point is 00:42:01 Yeah it was already there like so oh we're about to come to the studio So, no, you're not. You know what I'm saying? Like, we ain't doing that. So it was like, when I was, when I was calling, nobody was answering. Now everybody's trying to pop back up. Like, we ain't, we ain't happening at this time.
Starting point is 00:42:16 So, yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't even a great area to have that conversation with nobody. Is there any resentment from people because of that? Because you set those boundaries? I don't know. I don't know. I don't speak to him to find out. You know, I wanted to know, too,
Starting point is 00:42:31 after you did the first album, your voice sounded a certain way, right? Yeah. Then right after you did, the record, the record that sticks out of my mind is the record with Cali and those records,
Starting point is 00:42:43 it seemed like something changed with your voice. Yeah. What was that? Because in this project, it seems like you got it back. And that was my fear, always with you was like,
Starting point is 00:42:50 the first time they heard you, the raw vocals that sounded different and then your voice changed. Everything changed. And I was like, well, what was that changed? And how did you get it back to this? Really, it was like,
Starting point is 00:42:59 I was just trying, like, different things, like, I was like trying to make another trap coin so much that I'm like maybe I should just try something else and then you know what I mean if it work it work if it don't then I'll just go back but I was doing different things so much I forgot how to you know what I mean like I forgot how to spend back but I'm like ah you know what this time I sat back and I'm just like I got to get back in that groove so with with this whole project it was more so like let me just try to be more of a creator than a creative than then just trying to make songs to put out, you know what I'm saying? So I'm like, that's how I got to get back in that bag. Like, when I did the trap queen, 6, 7, 9, and all those records, like, it was just me having fun
Starting point is 00:43:41 being creative, like, just doing something different. Like, let me try this out and see how it's sound. And that's what I did with this one. So, like, to answer your question earlier, that's why I felt like, you know, I'm like, yeah, like, I'm ready for it. Like, you know, you know how I records. This is nothing new. Like, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:57 I do that, I'm in there a lot. I record a lot of records, but this time I took my time recording the record. You know what I mean? Like, even though it happened a little faster, but I felt like I felt like like I found that sound again. Like I found that, all right, that, yeah, bang. You know, there's little about, so, yeah, that's,
Starting point is 00:44:13 I feel like, I feel like that, that voice came back, like, this time. You're singing a lot more on the album. Yeah, we get to hear the vocals. Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure. So that's, like, that's, like, that's just. No, definitely purposely. I definitely purposely did it, like, um, because, you know, I, like, I always been, like, the melody,
Starting point is 00:44:32 like the melody do you know what I'm saying but like I'm like I could do I could do a little bit more yeah you never tapped into you got vocals on here I'm trying to yeah I'm trying to I'm trying to do too much I ain't I ain't I ain't trying to do too much but that's trying to get you jack hollow on yeah yeah you sound good though I appreciate that I appreciate that for sure how do you measure your your own growth as an artist when you creating a project um from the people honestly like from the people like I like this time around when I was recording like I tried to have people I don't know. Like,
Starting point is 00:45:03 like people I don't know there. And I just, I just read the energy in the room. Like, if people on their phone too much or they're not paying attention, they scratch it. Damn. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:13 Damn. Like, if I start, I see people, you know what I mean? Like, ah, yeah, we're gonna keep that one. Like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:18 And that's how I kind of, you know, like, because if you got the gods there, I mean, that's hard. You know what I even say that, bro. turn the beat on, he might just bop because they're there in the moment.
Starting point is 00:45:34 And just being on the phone don't necessarily mean you're not listening. That's just sadly the way the world is. No, so throughout the process, like, if you ever been in, like, if you ever been to anybody's sessions, like, you know, some people take two hours of, uh, to, uh, to make a song. Some people take a day. Some people might do it in 30 minutes. Like, you know what I mean, I'm kind of a little bit quicker, but, uh, uh, that process of, not bring me back right there. All right, bring me here here. All right, let me, let me do these devils right here. And let me do the, you know, on the outside, it's quiet. you know the engineer got to hear you so it's real quiet out there so people just kind of just waiting so if they react then every time that beat drop oh yeah all right now like you know what I'm saying

Like, how do you? So, like, I just invite, like, friends that I met, like, that when I was in prison, you know what I'm saying? Well, they know you, but they ain't never.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah, exactly. Like, you know what I mean? Like, they'll just tell you, you know what I mean? Just tell you people they they want, you know, my sister want to meet you. You know what I mean? Stuff like they, you bring to the stew, bro. And it would be like probably like five, six people there, like five, six, seven people, not too much. And I'll just see how they react when I'm recording.
Starting point is 00:46:58 And it'll be like that. I have like a few dudes from like a few like media outlets and stuff like that. Like you just see how they reacting. I mean. When you came home, you were well received when you came home, right? We've seen you pop out with A-Booky. We've seen you pop out with a bunch of people. We've seen artists celebrating you.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Even on this album now, I mean, you got, you know, Wiz Khalifa, Honey Baby, Tink, Max B, you know, Al-Bi. You got a G Herbo. You got so many things. Were you surprised about the love that you received when you came on? Yeah, of course. Why? I mean. And I'm gonna keep saying you know because you really do know.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Like, it wasn't like this. You know what I'm saying? Like, even when we did our record, bro, like, you know what I mean? People wasn't really like, people wasn't rocking with me the way they say they is now. You know what I mean? Like, and it's cool. Like, you know what I mean? Like, and I don't like to be that person, like, to try to bring that negativity out of it.
Starting point is 00:47:50 But I'm just also a real dude. Like, I'm not going to ever be fake to myself. But, you know, like I tell everybody, like, I appreciate it so much more than anybody understand. because that feeling of feeling forgotten, you know what I mean, or thinking you've been forgotten or just sitting in that, you know, sitting in there and like you don't hear yourself or nobody reaching out and you hear like how everybody else, oh, people just reached out to this person while he was down.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I'm like, what's up, like, you know what I mean? To come home and it's like everybody, like, we've been waiting for you. And I'm like, thanks. Yeah, I didn't know. Y'all didn't make me feel like that when I was down. Yeah, I was going to say, what do you think changed that? What do you think that came from? I guess just like
Starting point is 00:48:27 I don't know I just I just never changed like you know what I'm saying like I never changed when I still true to who I was like you know what I'm saying like and I don't I don't like to like to how you say like what's the word I'm looking for like like congratulate that but you know like
Starting point is 00:48:45 I still told them what I did like you know what I'm saying like I'll glorify it yeah I don't want to like glorify like that side of it but you know like I I did what I had to do. Like, when it was my time to go sit down, I sat down, and I, you know what I mean? I did it on my 10, bro.
Starting point is 00:49:00 And I guess a lot of people respect that, you know what I mean? And this was what comes with it. I don't know. I don't know how to explain. I think you also remind people of a great year. A great time. Yeah, when you, that 2015, 2014, 2015. It was a whole era.
Starting point is 00:49:16 I think people really wanted, they like, I remember that era. Absolutely. Yeah, we had a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. Every club, I mean, everywhere I went that year that year 2015, 2016,
Starting point is 00:49:27 everywhere I went, it was just always fun. Like, we never had incidents at any of my parties. Anywhere I performed that was never a problem. Everybody had,
Starting point is 00:49:36 even the security guards was in there. Like, bro, do your job, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, but it was lit though, like, I feel like,

Was there at a time where you was thinking, like, man, after this music, I'm going to go learn a trade. When I come home, this is what I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Of course. That was the reason why I was doing it. I didn't know, like, I didn't, honestly, I didn't think none of this was going to happen like this. Really? Oh, really? For sure. Yeah, like, I didn't think it was going.
Starting point is 00:50:47 I was going to come home and it was going to be like this. I'm like, no way. I'm just get, because all I remember was, like they was like oh well all the equipment it's heavy when we gotta carry like the let me fix like we got to take the Aces out and stuff like that I'm like I gotta get my weight up yeah so he worked out because he was like I gotta go HVAC I gotta carry hot water heat is out of it yeah I got if I got start doing stuff like that I got you know I respect that you was willing to say you know I'm gonna go get a job right I'm not I'm not

Starting point is 00:51:39 I'm not that's not me no more you know what I mean like I don't care how people view me and in certain aspects I say like that in certain aspects of my life I don't care how people view me I mean like I know how I feel to to have a lot I know how I feels to have nothing I know how I feel is to feel like nothing. I've known how I feels when people feel like they got the power over you.
Starting point is 00:51:58 You know what I'm saying? I've been in that situation for four years in my life where people telling me with a stand-up, people telling me when I can leave and go out to eat, people telling me when I can go work out or come back in a unit, you know what I'm saying? Or just constantly raiding myself just because they just want to go home and, hey, guess who sell I hit today? You're like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I've been through that, and it's the corniest thing in life.
Starting point is 00:52:19 So now I'm just living my life with me. Like, I don't, nobody could ever make me feel that low again. And I promise I'm never going to let nobody get that power again. When did you get your dream for music back? Like, when you say, you know what, I'm going to get a music thing? It's crazy. When I left here, like, after we did the interview, it was when I left here. You know, that was, if I'm not mistaken, that was the day I went straight to the studio.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And that's when I laid down, like, I laid down all them songs that day. Really? Did the MaxB collaboration come from y'all meeting here? Yeah, for sure. I was wondering that. Wow. What was it about doing this interview? Um,
Starting point is 00:52:57 it was just the energy, bro. Like, the energy, man. Like, like, like y'all just showed me my love, you know what I'm saying? Like,
Starting point is 00:53:03 y'all didn't have to. Trust me, listen, we listen to y'all every morning. So, you know, you get rough up here. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:53:10 You get rough up here. Definitely. And, and, and the way y'all, the way y'all, the way y'all just brought me back home, But it just was like, it was all love.
Starting point is 00:53:22 So it was like, you know, like, I'm going to, like, I'm going to hear me. I want to be in that top 30 countdown. Like, you know what I mean? Just challenges, man. I just like to challenge myself, you know? And then it was like, everybody like, all right, what's up? Like, you know, then the whole 2015, 2016, 2016, 2016, I'm like, no, I got, let's go have some fun. That's what made me happy when he came to my, the black film reunion.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I did it tomorrow, an American dream, to see the kids from age five. Yeah. to 40-year-old people, 50-year-old people. It was like they were just so... I mean, he had the mall stopped. Multiple floors. Multiple floors. But it was like, when I seen a five- and six-year-old kid,
Starting point is 00:54:01 knew every record, knew every word, it was really surprising. And I seen your face, it was just like, holy... You know what I mean? Because it's a little bit unbelievable a little bit. You know, like, the timeframes don't match up. And that's what always get me, you know what I'm saying? Like, I meet a lot of people that are like,
Starting point is 00:54:17 oh, you shape my high school years, you shape my college years. but these kids ain't in college or high school yet. You know what I'm saying? It's like, how do you like, you know what I mean? And like for me it's like, wow, like what they call like generational, like different generations. Like I made it to two different generations of life.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Like, you know what I mean? And that's, that don't happen for a lot of people. So like to, when I walked in here, I'm not expecting that. Like, you know what I'm like? What is going on? Like, this is crazy. but you know it just it was just like I'm just happy like you know what I mean like I'm just happy for all of it like sure your first time performing you know since you've been out
Starting point is 00:54:59 were you nervous leading up to it uh to actually perform no to be around like have people that close to me yeah yeah what made you nervous about that I've been in prison before you know what I got so you like a friend before you don't know who's there who's not like social Yeah. Because, you know, you got the group of people you be with. I mean, I put it to you like this. If it's too many people who are on the yard, something about to happen to somebody.
Starting point is 00:55:29 You know what I'm saying? Like, something about to happen to somebody. Like, you know what I mean? So, and, you know, a lot of people were going, well, you wasn't even down that long. I was down enough to understand what was happening. You know what I mean? I was down.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I was all right. All right, come on. We're going to play the back wall. You did, you do like four, right? Yeah. That's long with you. That's not that one. I hate when people say shit like that.
Starting point is 00:55:50 You're going to do it. But you got people that, you know, you got people that's been in there for a long time. But, you know what I'm saying? So, like, to come right out, I think it was literally the next two days or the next three days or something like that. And we walk in there.
Starting point is 00:56:03 I'm thinking they're going to have a little section. I could probably just let me ease into it. As soon as I walk down, I'm talking about right here. Damn. Yo, hold on. Like, like, like, you know what I'm saying? Back up, bro. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:18 but it was just, you know, it was just a little, like a little... Uncomfortable at first. Yeah, so they had, I had like, totally, oh, let me go, like, by the DJ booth. I know all the DJs that was over there, so I'm like, I feel a little bit better right here. That's why that video is from me of the DJ booth. Because I'm like, yeah, I can't stand right there, but I can't do that. Is there anything new that you're still getting used to? Like, what else are you still getting used to?
Starting point is 00:56:39 Really? I just, like, just the kids, bro. Like, like, these little kids just be running up on me. 1730 a minute? I'm like, bro, how do you know me? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, but it's like the TikTok. Like, I've been doing that a lot.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Like, my little kids, like, like, like that. Yeah, I saw the one you did. You're getting it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm learning. I'm learning. Like, I've just been like, and everybody like, yeah, bro, like, you just been having,
Starting point is 00:57:06 I'm like, yeah, I'm just having fun. Like, I'm just enjoying it. Like, you know? And I, like, I just did a, I think it was last Sunday. I just did a walk for, like, a glaucoma walk for, for the little home. me baby Hayes, he was born with congenital glaucoma. We got the same.
Starting point is 00:57:22 He's like, I don't want to call it disease, no. Condition. Condition. Yeah, you feel me? And his sister, his sister was there. And we did it like, we did the little TikTok and everything like that. It was a good turnout. So, like, that's how I've been really, like, moving around.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Like, I just try to, I just been trying to have fun while still working and, you know, me, just staying focused and doing something positive with my son. I love it. How is fatherhood? I mean, it's good. Yeah. It's great. I can't complain.
Starting point is 00:57:51 You know what I mean? Like, you know, every now and then we got, like, everybody got, everybody got their own issues. But I feel like as lately, like, you know, me and the mother of my children, we just, we talk, we talk to each other in real life and not on social media. Right. So it's not supposed to be. You know what I mean? That's been a good thing, you know what I'm saying? And I just try to keep it like that, you know?
Starting point is 00:58:13 Like, I'm not the best person in the world. You know, I'm never claiming to be the best father in the world. you know what I'm gonna do what I gotta do every time I'm called on, you know what I'm saying? And they understand that what's going on for me. I'm running around right now with the, uh, with the, I'm gonna all that doing the press running and everything.
Starting point is 00:58:29 So they ain't been, you know what I mean? But all the kids older, they got phones. I face time, call them, and I can. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's just been, fatherhood is just, it's a blessing. Like, you know what I mean? Just to have the kids just call your dad, what's up?
Starting point is 00:58:43 Like, what I'm like, I'm gonna get you. Like, yeah, it's a good. Yeah, it's a good. One of your baby moms got mad as soon as you came home, right? Well, so we talked about that last time you said it was Maseka. And then, but then after that, there was, I don't know which, what her name is, the other light skin girl. She got on social media too.
Starting point is 00:59:04 She made a video and she was upset and she was talking about, I forget her name, though. Some of the one of your baby mom's light skin. I think she has like red hair or she had black hair at the time. She changed her hair colors a lot. She lives in Jersey. She's from Jersey. She's probably like, that's all of me.
Starting point is 00:59:16 I can't remember her name, but she was. was upset. It was kind of, it wasn't even about you seeing the kids. It was something with her talking about you were running around with people who you shouldn't have been running around with who weren't holding you down and she felt like she deserved like more. I don't know nothing about that. I was just thinking like, get a brother a minute. He just came home. But then we saw you
Starting point is 00:59:32 with your kids with Masika and you know, all of that worked out. I mean like, like I said before, like I don't talk about, I don't talk bad about them. Like I will never speak bad about them. When I was down, they held my, they did, they did what they had to
Starting point is 00:59:48 They're great mothers. My kids are healthy and growing. They're glowing. They're beautiful. They know who I am. They love me. They made sure they know they love me. They didn't forget me.
Starting point is 00:59:58 They didn't let them forget me. So I'm forever grateful of my kids' mom. So I don't have nothing bad to say about them. I saw you say at 1.2. I think it was on Gillian Wallow that you had told, like, your kids, you didn't even want them to see you after a while. No, y'all didn't. So what were the conversations like just about that time?
Starting point is 01:00:16 Because they're probably wanting to know what that time period was like, No, they knew what was going on. Like, I still spoke to him over the phone. Yeah. As far as, like, coming to see me in prison, no. You know, it's just, it's like, when I visit over, man, like, like I said, they got the power. You know what I mean? Like, like, one thing I can't say, though, the only good thing is, like, they allow you to have your kid with you the whole time.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Like, yeah. Oh, and you can see them, touch them. Yeah, like, you can hold them the whole time. They can sit on your lap. Right there, the entire time, you know what I'm saying? But when it's over, it's over. Yeah. And when they say, all right, Daddy, come on, like, no, I can't come right now.
Starting point is 01:00:53 So when you're coming, like, I mean, I don't want to keep having this conversation every week. Then I go back, they could just be somebody playing at the wrong time. I mean, I'm mad that I can't go with my kids and somebody say something crazy now. You know what I mean, now? Yeah. You know what I mean? I would go ask, does that make the bid harder or easier? Would you rather not see them at all or see them every now and then?
Starting point is 01:01:17 No, it make it easier. Okay, okay. It make it easy because you're not looking forward to it. Right, right, right, right, right. You know what I'm saying? Like, you're not looking forward to it. And then, like, if you got people in the fast, man, you know, like, if you know, you know, man, like, you could talk to your kids every day. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:01:31 You can see your kids every day. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, so if you're not making that effort, unless you just don't got no money, like, I'm going to say it like that, but, you're going to mean, be a laundry dude, like, or do something. It's a lot of, it's a lot of jobs in jail you can do to be able to be able to, you. Talk to your kids. We appreciate you for joining us. I just want to say one thing.
Starting point is 01:01:51 One thing I do respect is I like to watch people when the cameras are not on. And when I've seen you leaving an event, a kid stopped you and just said, you know, they wanted a picture. And what impressed me is you sat there and you spoke to that kid for a minute, right? Kid had no idea. But he was asking the kid like, so what do you like to do? Well, I do this. And it was just like a connection where you didn't have to. Like, you know, you could have just got out of there.
Starting point is 01:02:15 You know, you did what you had to do. But I respect that because for that kid, when you left, he was happy in a pig. I don't know what. But I respect that the most because you make those connection with your fans and a lot of people don't. So I respect. He's going to say, piggy. I'm going to curse because I'm talking about a kid. I don't want to say a pig.
Starting point is 01:02:31 And you don't know what. That could be a blanking. You know what? Is that like something from y'all time? From your all time? You know what I was trying to give you some. That's all right. That's all right.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Fettie love the kids. Yes. I can say some. The newest tracks. Let's go. New music. And the next big thing. Always on the new music first.

Starting point is 01:03:09 Always first. Stream now on the free IHart Radio app. I'm Bailey Taylor and this is it girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations,
Starting point is 01:03:36 and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now. As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day just so they know what's really going on.
Starting point is 01:04:12 I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know Roll Doll, the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans.
Starting point is 01:04:44 What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. I was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman.
Starting point is 01:04:58 And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade?
Starting point is 01:05:29 Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a true? A 2020 event called Wag Ageddon changed the paddock forever. That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. A Formula One Culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport.
Starting point is 01:06:03 In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything, it really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments of the conversations everyone's having.

Starting point is 01:09:15 Tyrese is completely trash. He always has been. I didn't just say it, the Rock's headed as well. Even though he's from Watts, it's just, I think there's much more talented than people from Watts. That was a waste of time, like. Yeah. Man, he didn't even watch the whole verse.
Starting point is 01:09:31 But also he said Tyrese didn't sound better than him. Y'all won't hear Ray J when he was at verse. Y'all remember how Ray Jans said? No. Yes, yes, I want to hear. wish to have a million bucks Go! Well, I wish you don't be in love
Starting point is 01:09:44 So, feel me This is all unnecessary Why I did that to Ray? The last 60 seconds has been Unnecessary Mess. He is wild. But what did he got beef with Tyrese or something? I don't know when.
Starting point is 01:09:58 I text him, ask him, what should issue with Tyrese? Because Tyrese sounded, he sounds good. Right. He didn't say any better than Tyrese. You ain't played none of Tyrese last hour. You played like 20 seconds of Tyrese. I did. And now you play in Ray J saying that Tyrese is trash.
Starting point is 01:10:10 But now you want to act like Tyrese sounds so good. because you feel bad because Ray Jard caught him trash for no reason. I've always said that Tyrese sounds amazing. I haven't told you that when I opened up the segment. We did. We played some of Tyrese last segment. Okay. So we're,
Starting point is 01:10:22 oh, I wanted to mention too. They said Genuine was supposed to be at the verses, but he got caught up in all of the TSA mess at the airport and wasn't able to make it into the verses. People were looking for Genuania. That's who they really needed to come up there. They were supposed to close out the verses with Genuine. It didn't happen.
Starting point is 01:10:36 And he was supposed to dance. They were going to sing and dance, I'm assuming. They have new music coming. they teased it. Four o'clock. Jamie Fox made it, though. But okay, all right. So moving on,
Starting point is 01:10:47 other music news, the Kanye West, I was going to say, I don't even know how you intro this, but Kanye West, yay, he dropped music-ish, like I'm a little confused. So bully was slated to drop today.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Yesterday at the concert, I knew it was going to drop. I text a person on Kanye side and I say, hey, is this actually going to come out? Because it's been supposed to come out, and they keep pushing a date. They said, yes, it's coming out. I went to look this morning.
Starting point is 01:11:11 and I didn't see a new 2026 bully rendition on a streaming. I saw some older renditions, right? But then on Twitter, there's like all these songs that are out from Kanye West, from this new project. And what fans and now the reports are saying
Starting point is 01:11:27 is that last night while we were at the concert a little bit after, and a little bit after midnight as well too, he streamed. At the Cardi concert. Cardi concert, yes. He streamed on YouTube like a full listening of the album of some sort. I haven't listened to that in full. I just
Starting point is 01:11:40 saw a lot of the clips online and fans are excited. They say we got the old Kanye West back. Yes, yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited for him. I've always said I bought a white queen to the altar. To the altar. Dr. Umar would not appreciate that. But you got to hear the bar,
Starting point is 01:11:53 but you got to hear the couple bars after that. I feel like he's talking about the cost of like trying to do all that. Be the black man with the white girl. I don't know. I haven't listened to it in full, to be honest with you guys. No, Kanye has always been so great musically that, that you always going to check for Kanye's music, right? Yes.
Starting point is 01:12:08 For the most part. But I don't know what Kanye could. do to make people care about the new music in like a massive, massive way. You know what I mean? Like, you know, you're not, think about back in the day how there was a frenzy around Kanye West's music.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Like, I didn't even know he'd put out snippets last. See, that's what I'm saying. And that's why I confuse me because I'm like, I'm Googling, I'm trying to find it. But I think what it would be is he would have to be so super vulnerable and have to like not be vulnerable for like a rage bait. Like, you know, the past Kanye West has been doing. We don't know the difference though.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Kanye's always been vulnerable. Yeah, but I feel like in the last, like, the last couple of projects has been, like, stuff that we don't, it's been things that make people upset. If Kanye stopped pumping, if he stopped pump faking, if he stopped pump faking, it said my album is coming out this day, it would be, it would be a lot more,
Starting point is 01:12:53 it would be a frenzy for people to hear Kanye music. If he did a couple of interviews, I think he would. But he keeps pump faking, you didn't, you do press, and didn't even know if it came out if it didn't come out. I'm still confused. I'm not being on it. I'm still confused right now. I can't even download it on the DPS.
Starting point is 01:13:07 I actually think, DSP and me? I actually think Kanye, antics over the last several years overshadow everything. Everything is. So even when we hear about music or any project you just think about well what's going to come with that? What's the antics that are going to come with? They're still excited about Kanye. They still
Starting point is 01:13:25 want to hear Kanye. I know I am. Yeah. And some of the stuff that I was... It's different. It's different. Very different. But that's what I mean by vulnerable. Not saying that he hasn't. We always know that Kanye West wears everything on his sleeve and his music. I just feel like the vulnerability over the last couple years has been the antics that you guys are talking about. And that's why I don't want. that if he comes out with an album like bully and it's actually just great music
Starting point is 01:13:45 and the focus is the music and we can get back to thinking about how great he was as an artist that's the best thing for him. Yeah, and there are some, I heard a new audio from his mom on this album and he has like unreleased vocals from himself on this album.
Starting point is 01:13:58 So I don't know, once I get to hear the four, we'll be back, but I did want to take some... Because he's still selling out shows, right? He's sold out Japan. He's so loud, LA. They're still selling out of things happening. With that type of catalog, why would? me.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Yeah. With the stature of artists that he is. It just feels very underground. If you don't know when Kanye's album is coming out, you don't know what's playing. Like, how many renditions of bully do we need? I don't know. I was excited for both because he always had like a power story. Like, remember when he was like, I was going down on my cousin when I was 14?
Starting point is 01:14:30 I was like, okay, where's the music? What's going on? I want to hear more. Yes, in the music. So you wanted him to do, put it in your mouth remix? What do you know what you wanted to do? What you wanted him do? What you wanted him do?
Starting point is 01:14:39 You know what? What did you want to? Crazy segue from Put It in your mouth. But the I Heart Shifting gears, the IHart Music Awards went down last night. And I just wanted really quick shout out Kendrick Lamar. He took everything in a lot of the
Starting point is 01:14:54 hip-hop categories. Artist of the Year. Album of the Year for GNX, hip-hop song of the year. Taylor Swift made history last night. She extended her record of IHeart Radio wins, 41 wins. And then her... She was there. She was there. Her and Travis Kelsey made their, like, TV awards debut at the IHart
Starting point is 01:15:09 awards and she thanked him in her speech as she accepted one of her awards for a What? He should be thanking her. He just got a new contract three years And it's only because they want Taylor Swift at them games. Do we have time to play that? No. Okay, well she thanked him because she said that her last round of music was very free and fun and confident and that's what her man gives her. She said thank you to my man. Okay? She didn't say it like that. No, she didn't, but it was a summation of it. You know,
Starting point is 01:15:34 how we would understand it. Period. She didn't talk like that. She didn't have no soul like that. No way. always want to give me, why? She did not have soul like that when she said it. She did. It was like, my fiance, it was different. But yeah, TLC and Vogue and Sautenpeper also
Starting point is 01:15:51 performed. You guys know that they're headed out on tour right now. Ludacris won the landmark award. He also hosted the award show.

Starting point is 01:24:00 No, listen, I appreciate it, brother. You're dealing with, you're dealing with grief right now. And, you know, I don't want you to project that trauma on other people. And I also want you to give you a certain grace. I've protected it onto my daughter. I said some, like, because at my age, I went through some drama stuff, like, 10, like 10, 11, and she hasn't been through none of that. And I feel like I'm the person that is putting her through it.

Starting point is 01:24:37 and you're actively trying to do something about it. Some people lack that self-awareness, oh, man. Give yourself some grace, my brother. Yeah, you absolutely have, like, too, that's energy. Also, I feel like, you don't have any black leaders, like, right now coming me. I've been, like, listening to, like, a lot of, like, what's going on.

We do that every Friday. It's the People's Donkey. 1-800-5-105.1. Or you can go to the IHeart Radio app. Go to the Breakfast Club page and click on the
Starting point is 01:26:15 Talkback app and send us a message. Well, when we come back, Tim Schrever will be joining us. Tim Schreiber is an activist. He's a film producer. He is the chairman of the Special Olympics since 1996. He is the founder of an organization called Unite. And he is also the nephew of President John F. Kennedy. Period. Yes.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Big resumes. Oh, my goodness. He's still drunk from last night. All right. We're going to talk to Tim Shriver when we come back as the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody is DJ NV. J. Salarious.
Starting point is 01:26:43 Shalameen the guy. We are the breakfast club. Long Laugh's here with us as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We're here. Welcome. I'm here.
Starting point is 01:26:50 Thank you. Nice to be here. Appreciate you. You all having me. Tell them a little bit about who Tim Schrever is before we get started about why you're here. Well, I grew up in a big family, a lot of politicians. I started my career teaching. I spent 15 years teaching in the New Haven Public School.
Starting point is 01:27:05 created a field called social and emotional learning, looking at the mental health issues and the challenges a lot of kids face across all of income, race, gender, all that kind of stuff. And spent the last 25 years in Special Olympics working on disability, healing the gap between people who do and don't have intellectual and developmental disabilities in the last couple of years
Starting point is 01:27:28 I've been trying to figure out there's a way to heal the gaps in our country. You're the chairman of the Special Olympics. Yes, sir. Yes, yes. And Tim, man, Tim has created a survey that tracks how we're treating each other in America called the dignity barometer. Dignity barometer. What is that? So the question, you know, Shar, we've been asking, I think the country's been asking is, what's tearing us apart so badly?
Starting point is 01:27:50 Why are we so angry? Why are we so anxious? Why are mental health problems growing? Why can't we talk about issues? Why can't we solve problems? Our view is that we sometimes, I diagnose the problem as we do. differ, come from different backgrounds. We don't think it's differences that are the problem. We think it's how we treat each other when we differ, which is a whole different set of questions. So we
Starting point is 01:28:14 decided to measure how do Americans think about how they're treating one another. And this is why we launched this, it's called the Dignity Barometer. And we think at the heart of figuring out how we get more justice, more joy, more progress as a country, is figuring out ways to treat each other better. And that's what the survey tells us. said that 94% of Americans believe that all people deserve to be treated with dignity. So, so, so what do you, do you believe that? I'm not going to lie to seem high, but who's going to lie about that? No, I know, but I mean, it's, it is, we were hoping we would get like 55% would say yes.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Because I was worried that when we asked that question, it was going to be like 40 or 30%. No, I don't think those people should be. I don't think, you know, Republicans or Democrats. I don't think people that come from New York or people that come from Mrs. whatever. I thought we were going to get a lot, 94%. That's an aspirational goal for us as a country. And what's equally interesting, I think, in the barometer, is that they say this is just as important, almost as important as the economy. People say, I think the number is 86% say the cost of living is the most important issue.
Starting point is 01:29:26 The next one is 83% say, you know, the toxic culture is the next most important issue. So it's a kitchen table issue. We call it a kitchen table issue when you're talking about the price of eggs, when you're talking about can you walk on a safe street, you're also talking about do you trust your fellow Americans? That's important to people and they see it as a crisis. What does that tell you about society when you see 94% of Americans believe that people deserve to be treated with dignity?
Starting point is 01:29:53 What does that tell you society wants? It tells me that people are hungry for leadership to show them how to do that. They will rate the problem is coming from politics and the media. honestly, but they also realize they're not living up to their own aspirations. This was surprising. More than half Americans say, we're not doing this. We want this, but we're not doing it. So it's a little bit like we're naming the problem as politics, you know, the algorithm and all that stuff, which is, you know, really problematic. But we're also naming a problem that we can each be a part of solving. I said, you know, the other day just came out of my mouth. Most of us can't solve
Starting point is 01:30:33 the war in Iran. But we can solve the war at home. We can. That's within our power. We don't have to wait for the president, the senator, a governor, mayor, police chief, superintendent of schools. We don't have to wait. I mean, if we had leadership from those people, it would be great, and we do have in some spots. But we can, we can heal. This is, you know, you've been talking for years now, Charles, about mental health and about the urgency of facing mental health issues. How do we build mental wealth you find and you feel like you're treated with dignity? Absolutely. That's where it starts.
Starting point is 01:31:12 When your dignity is violated, how can you be healthy? How can you not resort to hostility and anger and violence? Our goal is to help people figure out how to find their own dignity and treat others with dignity. I think that would go a long way towards helping us get out of the mess we're in. I've seen you say people who use this index, like in politics, it won't. Canadian women are looking for more. More to themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them. And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
Starting point is 01:31:42 I'm Jennifer Stewart. And I'm Catherine Clark. And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women. Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey. So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us. Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on IHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts. I'm Bailey Taylor and this is It Girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now. As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your intention.
Starting point is 01:32:37 You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeartRadio app.
Starting point is 01:33:06 Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Why hasn't a woman formerly participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day, it's a day. is just seared into my memory.
Starting point is 01:33:42 I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 01:34:12 You know Roald Dahl, the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Dahl,
Starting point is 01:34:25 is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either.
Starting point is 01:34:37 Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. I was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock
Starting point is 01:34:52 before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the I Heart Radio app.
Starting point is 01:35:10 Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas.
Starting point is 01:35:33 Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments of the conversations everyone's having.
Starting point is 01:35:56 So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to Flakron and Funny with Carrie Champion and Jamel Hill on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Like censor, like government, right?
Starting point is 01:36:14 But how do you not censor, like looking at the people who lead our government in certain administrations or whatever, how do you not censor but also tell them to treat other people with dignity when a lot of what they're saying and doing is the opposite of treating people with dignity? Well, we're just trying to, like what I like to say is there's a new issue. So we might differ on what we should do on climate change, right? You and I. But we can discuss it. And you can say, well, on this. this moment we should have done this or we should be funding more for schools or
Starting point is 01:36:40 whatever on this issue we should have discussions what is it appropriate for the mayor the governor the president the senator to speak this way what how do you defend using this much contempt mr. mayor mr. madam senator you know madam governor whatever it is I like the second part of that I don't like the first part because the first part is asking an answer we know that isn't the way that they should be conducting themselves. So I think the second part of how do you, how do you contend, like what do you say?
Starting point is 01:37:11 Well, what I'm saying is, here's the thing, Shard, most people don't see their own contempt. You see the contempt in other people, but you don't see it in your, like this woman said to me, I hate hateful people. But she didn't see it. She didn't see that she had become. You became what you hate.
Starting point is 01:37:26 That's right. I did that last week in my therapist office. I literally was talking to my therapist about somebody that I was saying I hate it. And I felt so bad because I couldn't believe I had gotten to that point. why I felt like I hated this individual. But I didn't actually hate them.
Starting point is 01:37:40 I hated what they represent. Okay. The point is like I became what I, I became the energy I didn't like. We all do that. But if we started to catch ourselves, challenge ourselves, we've seen this with, you know, like with Governor Cox, for instance, in Utah, after the Charlie Kirk murder, he really tried to treat the accused perpetrator, the victim, his family, the country, with a certain degree.
Starting point is 01:38:05 of dignity. He tried not to get trapped in the political vice. The same thing we've seen in other situations. We saw this in Mother Emmanuel Church over a decade ago. People trying in the face of violence, in the face of that kind of
Starting point is 01:38:21 contemptuous action, hatred with a gun, to respond in some way that would allow us to see there's a way out of hatred. We don't have to return hatred with hatred. If it gives the perpetrators of the crime, I often wonder about that I often wonder if that is a real emotion or are they just doing that because they feel like that's what they need to do.
Starting point is 01:38:41 Well, I think in your heart, you know, we all know the difference. We lie sometimes when we say what we think people want to hear. But I think there's also real evidence that many people have been able to transform hate and turn it, you know, like Dr. King said, you know, the only thing that will you know, defeat hate is love. And I think people understand at some level within themselves. when they can find that. It's not easy in the face of somebody treating you with contempt to return that contempt with your principles but without hatred. I mean, our point here is don't dim your principles. You know, don't, don't be a centrist on everything. Don't become, you know, like that's not
Starting point is 01:39:25 the point of dignity. The point of dignity is to fight for your principles. We say, add one. When you're fighting for your principles, treat the person on the other side with dignity. And you, will actually make a much better case for your principles when you don't treat the other person with contempt. In certain instances, I do believe that you can hate somebody and I feel like, in my opinion, it'll be okay, right? So I'll explain it like this. In certain cases, yeah, you could dislike their policy, right? You could dislike the things that they're doing. But if somebody comes into my house and kills my family, I'm going to hate that individual. And I'm not on a healing journey to the point where I say,
Starting point is 01:40:06 well, you know what, I'm going to turn my other cheek or I'm going to forgive them. I don't think so. You know, and I see people do it all the time. I think majority is bull crap. Part of my friends. I think majority of biblical teachers. I think it's bull crap, in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:40:19 And I also do think some of it is they do that because they feel like that's what they should do. But now do they believe it in their heart? I kind of find it hard to believe when you just took my whole family out or you just did. something to my child or you just did something to my mother or father or you know when you see people in the church and somebody will come into church and just shoot the whole church up it's it's difficult to believe that because i feel like it allows you to open that up for something like that to happen
Starting point is 01:40:44 again just my opinion when it comes to quote unquote hate now when things with politics and things like that yeah i feel like people dislike policies but if you're a hateful person and a nasty person in my opinion me saying i hate that person it's not the same as a person doing evil things you just don't like the fact that that person is doing an evil job. Yeah. I can hate the devil. Is that mad saying I hate the devil? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:41:07 So I feel like when it comes to that type, it's certain things you can't experience. I can't give everybody grace. In my opinion, I'm not there yet. You kill my family. I can't give you grace. I'm sorry. I'll holl out the big man when I get there, but I just can't. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:22 I hear you. I don't think it's always a fake. I don't think that's true. I say all the time. I think sometimes I do feel that way. I think sometimes people aspire to be forgiving, even though in their hearts they aren't yet. And so they say they are maybe in hopes of becoming the words they use. Sometimes people just lie and say, I'm forgiving and they harbor hatred and they don't care about the lie.
Starting point is 01:41:46 But I think a lot of times people do move. I mean, I've seen in my own family, my own family. You know, violence has taken people from my family. You know, this is. Can I say who your uncle? Yeah, sure. John F. Kennedy. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 01:41:59 So, so, uh, I grew up in a situation where violence robbed us as children of safety, of the health of our parents, um, of people we loved. Um, and I, I've seen people struggle with that their whole life, you know, and I've seen people try to really hard to forgive so that they would be able to get the devil out of from inside them. the anger, the hostility, the vitriol, the pain could be eased through the act of forgiveness. So sometimes maybe it's not even selfish. I mean, it's not even selfless. It's selfish to forgive because that's where healing, I think, happens. But here's the thing. This is a conversation the country needs to be trying to have.
Starting point is 01:42:53 I'm not here to tell you, like, I'm not a preacher. I'm not here to say this is the commandment. I'm here to say, I think we're seeing a new issue in the country and asking ourselves how we treat each other as an issue. I mean, what is, you know, this is a conversation that has focused in many, many different moments in time on issues of race and culture and these kinds of things. What is racism, if not institutionalized hatred? For sure. Okay? So it's an institutionalization of the humiliations.
Starting point is 01:43:29 and demeaning and and hatred of a group of people so you know if we want to end it we have to end hatred because at the surface at the heart of it is hatred is a sense of superiority is a sense of disdain for people that come from a different certain background or certain skin color as crazy as it is that's what we that's that's the reality so I just want to I want to talk systems I want to talk housing I want to talk health care. I want to talk education. That's my background. I want to talk all those things. I also want to talk about this as a country. Okay, let's go at it. Before you go, score this, right? Yeah. This is Brooks Pottaguer. He's an ambilical, and what's the word?
Starting point is 01:44:13 Evangelical pastor. Okay. Who has been described as Pete Hexef's closest spiritual advisor. He said this. He said, first and foremost, we prayed that a man like this would be cut to the heart. He said he puts Tala Rico in the category of public enemies. Are those you are not called the love. This is where you have imprecatory Psalms. This is where you pray strongly. The psalmist is not shy. God destroy them, make them
Starting point is 01:44:38 his dung on the ground. I pray that God kills him. Talking about James Tilarico, the path is dead. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ. How do you rank that? That's a one. That's as low as it goes. It goes. It's not a zero. That's the low as it can
Starting point is 01:44:54 go. Damn. Your humanity has, it doesn't matter. You should be destroyed. So that's, that's, that's, that's a one. Now, if that guy was sitting here,
Starting point is 01:45:04 he'd give you all the justifications for it, but it's still a one. And he would say something like that guy started it. You know, that's dangerous. So, look,
Starting point is 01:45:12 I think that's a one. All I can say is there's better ways to make that point. Whatever point he's trying to make, I assume he doesn't like Tala Rico because. If you want somebody to die, what's the better way to say it?
Starting point is 01:45:21 Oh my God. You've got a good avenue. I wish you a, I wish you a, a beautiful afterlife. There you go. With the angels and the saints, you know. Dignity.us, man.

Both of them.
