Hey y'all, Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a gold mine.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or. This is our guy. He's our family member. Okay? This is our guy. This is the first guest that was ever in studio here at the Breakfast Club.
First guest.
And it was our first big viral moment also.
I'm talking about two different situations, by the way. You hear me?
You hear me?
Always very important to preface with that.
You hear me?
Ladies and gentlemen, Ray J is in the building.
Ray J.
Hey. I'm love. hey man i'm so happy to
see y'all i'm just holding it in and i'm so happy to see you thank you i'm happy to see you too
you know what i like i like the after the after when you do it's after after i love here but did
you do one that's oh yeah the uncut oh my god that's what the mess i'm super lit yeah what's
happening willie what's up man we gotta do network i see first of all i mean what happened with uh with raycon
nothing it's just you know we we we've reached like a certain height right and i think that
they can definitely continue to move mountains with the company going into like you know
home products and stuff like that and i always just
like to have fun like if it's not fun and it's a little too critical or a little too exhausting
which it wasn't but just to be in an arena like starting our own network you know 20 years in that
space our expertise and knowledge and the way we shoot stuff and our story arts everything
is probably is to me better
than everything that's out there now so so you still have equity in raycon no no no shout out
to raycon but you built that though like that that brand is that brand because of you but he built it
and sold it so you sold it yeah well i sold i sold it back to raycon got you yeah i sold it back to
raycon i i you know it wasn't't for sale for another investor to come in.
I got to get you some lotion.
I know.
That's what I was saying.
I needed the lotion and the brush.
You don't need the brush.
And I was in my bag.
Now I'm just like,
you know what?
I'm good.
I'm humble.
You rich.
You good.
You trying to stay humble?
No, no, no.
I just,
when I go to the bathroom,
I wash my hands.
Oh, got you.
Got you, got you, got you,
got you, got you, got you. Got you. Got you. Got you.
Got you.
Got you.
Got you.
Got you.
So what's the name of this network?
The network is called the Tronics Network.
How'd you come up with that name?
You're supposed to do it up.
Do it up, Ray.
Put your skin down.
You got to do it up when you put lotion on.
Yeah.
Why are they called the Tronics network the tronics network because
it's we look at the tron as like a matrix you know i'm saying like a manifestation tool um that's the
only reason why we're still here is just because of prayer and manifestation and making adjustments
when you make mistakes for for growth um so tronics you know i had the ray Tronics, you know, I had the Raytronics company before we sold
Scooty Bike and we just felt
like the Tron was speaking
to us from the Elohim.
And so, you know, Tronics
Network is that digital
ratchet reality
network that's
at the cutting edge of the change.
You'd be competing with Zeus.
Well, if I'm competing with Zeus, I I'm competing with Zeus I'll be competing with myself
talk more about that
I'm just saying I mean
remember Bow Wow and I
we pulled up and I was talking about Zeus
I was talking about working with Zeus
and then Bow Wow was going big I'm like that's my people
we're partnering
that was the beginning
that was the beginning of their kind of got it people started to recognize zeus when we did the conversation
we started with the conversation yeah we gave zeus their first fight which sounds a little
but um we gave zeus their first fight which was roly and mangina mangina's on our new network
and then their other biggest fight these are the things that kind of
ignited them to kind of drive the narrative that way hazel e and masika right so those two things
you saw this big flux go up and then and then it all it all you know like you own a part of zeus
no oh no nope and you know we had shows on the zoo stuff yeah we had the best shows like even
baddies like yeah i mean a lot of a lot of people get amnesia right so you said competing with yourself
makes it seem like yeah it is well not competing against myself as ownership but we did this
network not solely to to compete against zeus um but to just give you a balance of what it looks
like right so you got all of this but if we give you
that same kind of intensity with a with a story arc that leads you somewhere whether it's emotional
or crying or or happy or whatever it is educational something has to be there to create the story so
people can follow something if not then for me i don't i just don't i don't i don't do that kind
of show and i want to show people like what a ratchet show and a balanced show looks like at the same time.
What does that look like?
That's actually R&B if you think about it.
R&B?
Ratchet and balanced.
Wow.
We're brainstorming.
We have one show.
I haven't called you guys
to tell you about it but you guys start
the show off it's
the breakfast club kicks it's like you guys are in
it's like how do we start it if you didn't tell us about it
we don't know anything about this right
so
it's a really good show right
so it's called the fight club I'm gonna show
you guys it's a really good show and then you'll see what it is Fight Club. I'm going to show you guys. It's a really good show. And then you'll see what it is.
It's light.
I mean, it's like...
It's people fighting?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's people fighting.
But that show is catered for that.
So there's a lot of other shows.
Like, we have Inside the Network.
We have Going on a Safari.
We have The Girls Club.
The Cook-Off.
Like, we have shows like that.
But then, just like the conversation, I felt like people were, like, teasing you.
And then they started to get to this deep conversation.
When we did it, it was just let's go right into it.
What's the balance in Fight Club, though?
The balance in Fight Club is the comedic edit with the fighter, right?
You started to say there is no balance.
I was.
I'm not sure when you first story only to end at the fight.
Right. It's straight about what it is, but it's it's comedic. It's refreshing. The jokes are going.
So when you're watching it, you're not like disgusted if you were just to watch it and hit play, which we do have all the bonus footages on.
We have the bonus footage on all the shows. You get like five or six clips and you can just watch it and hit play which we do have all the bonus footages on uh we have the bonus footage on
all the shows you get like five or six clips and you can just watch it unedited how much is
subscription 4.99 4.99 yeah but it's premium this is the premium stuff i can't yeah premium shit
any scripted drama any like any you know comedy shows like any because you you do a lot of things right yeah well we
we're we're creating as we go um i have like eight shows so the eight shows that come out are dating
it's inside the network it's um it's a big transgender show the girls club we also have
the girls club oh and then there's another do they want to be called that have you have you
ran that by them absolutely i mean i run it by everybody and one thing that i don't do is my mission isn't
to make the reality star look bad yeah because i'm in the same position and what what i'm here
to do is to ignite the numbers so our points could be on the board like basketball players
so what's the girls club break that down it's 13 transgenders transgender women
they're super cool they're super lit and they're in there to tell their story and to survive you
know this big moment and you know make a name for themselves and it's it's a it's one of the
loudest shows we have sydney star is the star of it She helped put that together with me. And it started off with her trying to do an audition show, a love show in Atlanta.
And, dude, attempted murder.
Like, 17 shots, like, popped off.
And it was like, yeah, it was crazy.
It's in there.
Y'all caught that on camera?
Yeah.
Shout out to The Rod from The Gaygency.
Shout out to The Gaygency as well.
What the hell is The Gaygency? The Gaygency. Shout out to The Gaygency as well. What the hell is The Gaygency?
The Gaygency.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
So listen, with this show, is there like a survival show or is it like a theme?
Like what is it?
It's similar to like we did Bad Girls Club with Oxygen.
We did Bad Girls All-Star Battle, but it's similar to the Bad Girls Club.
That was my shit, All-Star Battle.
You know?
Bad Girls Club.
So that proves to you that Natalie and I
worked together
a long time ago
so I was able to hit her.
Tell her love and hip hop
Hollywood wasn't really
coming back.
I think you should work
with Zeus.
This is a good play for you.
You'll have power,
control,
EP,
all of that
and boom.
You know what I mean?
So now you're about
to steal all Lee's
thunder.
You're about to take
all of those people
you would have said,
hey, go over there to Lee. You're taking for yourself now exactly yes you call him exactly
that's his name right oh Lemmy damn I can't remember his name
yeah because my other co-founder from Raycon is Ray Lee so I was like
so now recently on some on some other, I was looking at TMZ.
They robbed your cars?
They stole your cars?
Two Maybachs missing.
Like what?
Out of nowhere?
From where?
Right on our moment.
They're in Reno right now.
The cars?
Yeah. And we landed.
When did we land?
We landed sometime in the middle of the night somewhere. But the cars were supposed to pull up, pick we landed. When did we land? We landed sometime in the middle of the night somewhere.
But the cars were supposed to pull up, pick us up.
You know, we had the suits, and we was going to go corporate.
And then it just kind of like, you know what I'm saying,
somebody transported them, and then they stopped answering the phone.
Then we tracked the cars, and they was in Reno.
I like this.
Casino and Chop Shop.
They were yours?
They were mine.
So I bought one, and Truth, who is my business partner, he's the one that helped me close the deal with Raycon.
He bought him one, and we were just like, you know what I'm saying, just feeling good to come to New York.
You know what I'm saying?
How much did your contract cost, man?
Come on, Ray, because I'm looking at it.
Like, I've known you for a while.
I can tell when things get a little bit different.
You know what I'm saying?
Look how you got a new hairline.
Look how you've been doing Ozempic. You an Ozempic
gold medalist now.
You don't give
Ozempic, though.
You're not giving Ozempic. Don't try
to do that. Ozempic.
He's bad-nice.
That's not
what he's going on. I won't do Ozempic.
I'm cool. I don't do Ozempic, but
I know some people that do.
How you lost the last weight Ray
Cause remember last time
You said you took off your shirt
Yeah I seen it dude
That's what made
That's what motivated you
Yeah cause
Side boops
You saw
I was trying
You see me trying to hide them
And they were just like
Still there
Cut to that clip
Wow
Look at me
Oh my god Cut to that clip. Wow. Look at me.
Oh, my God.
I love this place.
But the check was nice, though.
You know, it was in another, like, world because I feel like we did so much. Like, it was so hard to just break the code and understand, you know, technology and hardware.
You know, the 3PO services you need or the warehouses, customer service.
The CMO has to be right.
The CFO has to be right. The CFO has to be right. Right. So even with this new company,
like I'm starting it out a hundred percent bootstrap full control with my
team,
but eventually as it grows,
I'm going to have to do the right hires.
So the company can start being on autopilot.
You know,
I just,
I just want to this time when we get to a certain point,
let us continue to,
you know,
let us continue to steer the ship.
Oh,
I see what happened so
you got to a certain point and raycon kind of put a cap on things no no i love raycon um it just we
we we've just grown into another space and i i know so much from strategic marketing and what
we've done there to conversion marketing to and all these other like shortcuts that we have.
So it's only right to implement that into the reality shows.
Cause I never lost in reality.
And I would say that I'm the,
um,
I'm the reality show King.
I do that.
I was going to base it like,
you know,
tiger woods of it.
But,
um,
but, uh, I didn't tiger. No tiger no tiger wasn't tiger wasn't the first no that's the reality show connoisseur just says no
there's nobody there's nobody bigger than me
um i'm uh well at first at first i ain't gonna lie at first first. Where's Ray going? At first,
it was Stevie J for a long time.
In that era.
It was Stevie J.
Ray's after that era, though.
No, no, no.
Ray is there. This is after Ray.
This is after.
Love and hip-hop is
after for the love of Ray J.
And Randy and Ray J and ray j and family business
that's what i'm saying so in reality that's where i dominate so why wouldn't i i never thought about
but he's also reality i feel like also in front of camera but you got a lot to do with behind
the camera too exactly so I would call you the king
of behind the camera too because he produces
he you know it's all
types of stuff I'm trying to let you know I'm giving you
your props in another way
I was
cutting you off
oh damn
I didn't know you produced One More Chance and all that
stuff like that yeah like he has
a lot of Lemmy and I we't know you produced One More Chance and all that stuff like that. Yeah, like he has a lot of.
Like, Lemmy and I, we produced.
Like, you know, when Baby came here and said put some respect on it,
that's our campaign show.
That's Music Moguls.
We did.
We created that.
You know what I'm saying?
So I've been doing a bunch of stuff.
It's just the product and the people loving the show has always been,
for me, the most important.
The prop of it and the attention.
Like, I think now when you watch this new network, you'll see that everybody on TV has our sauce.
The only thing is that the shit I put on it now, they can't do.
It's impossible.
Even the editors.
Like, we're editing everything hands-on.
My team is outside, and they're ready to edit right now.
You know what I'm saying?
And they're ready to edit at the highest quality and really caring about, okay, it's the most turnt up shit you've ever seen.
But that's not all, right?
My intention isn't to make the money for that.
It's to create every reality star to have their own network.
Because it's really not that hard if you find a way to build the content because i'm seeing just so much stuff
out there and everybody's just giving this shit up for free and free and free and they're waiting
for these advertising dollars that come in just randomly that you can't scale because you don't
know the times and what it did and same with like publishing like how do you scale publishing like it's just it's everywhere would you put your family back on reality show
because people scrutinize your relationship and no matter what you do they all the eyes are always
there yeah that's that but that's the and i and i mentioned that that's what you sacrifice really
i mentioned that even through the first episode of inside the network i'd break down how reality
stars get the end of the stick and i mean it's hard to show
the end of the stick yeah i mean your church is even tripping like it's like yeah you know what
i mean because but they don't understand the the arc behind the reality show so it's one thing
they're doing a good job because it's believable but at the same time we need more pay that's all
it is like if everybody was getting like 10 million 15 million a season now we reality ball players that's what we deserve but don't that defeat the purpose though like if
you are a producer or a production company the reason you do reality tv is because it's cheap
no that's what it was done before but now you look at everybody out there i mean you you almost need
a reality show to get a record deal is what i'm
hearing right now i've never i mean that's how it looks like it's working now yeah and so reality
the ratchet scene is about to do a takeover and it's going to be unstoppable for like a few years
where it's going to be on everybody's nerves when did it go away though like in reality the reality
has been ratchet since it's been on now but Yeah, but you've never seen nothing like the Tronics Network.
You've never seen nothing like the Tronics Network.
I promise you if I hit play right now, you guys would be floored.
I guarantee you at the end, you're going to subscribe.
I don't know if that's what we need right now though, right?
But what am I talking about?
Do we need that level of ratchet?
Yeah, because watch the story arc with it.
Okay.
Yeah, this is ratchet with a message.
Does it have a message?
Absolutely.
Ratchet has a lot of messages because when you watch yourself in a ratchet environment and you do either ratchet things or you do the right thing,'s how you know how to make adjustments with yourself okay but what i don't want to see and i'm pretty sure nobody is everybody
is tired of seeing people just fighting all over the place all the time so that's what he's saying
about like a storyline it's actually going to be story live like like inside the network is like
my creative directors were fighting because they were tripping off something i just caught it on tape or the agency the agency i mean you got cameras set up back no i just no when they was
fighting i just grabbed the phone but after that yeah i started to have like i got four or five
shooters just ready for anything to happen now but is that a good thing though absolutely that
we fighting if we have a disagreement like isn't that a bad way of doing things like we can't have
a disagreement without me punching you now. Absolutely.
Absolutely.
We let the stories flow.
It's not like come on to our show and if you don't fight, you're fired.
Right.
That's not producing.
That's what some shows give now.
It's almost like you know how you got client privilege?
In producing, you can't do that because that's not what we – real producers don't.
But you ain't do that because that's not what we real producers don't but you
ain't gotta say that but if you give somebody a a full bottle of liquor yeah and then you give
them some smoke or some edibles your creative and then you throw them in a room nine times out of
ten you ain't say fight and get fired but you know what's gonna happen after exactly shot exactly so
they both have this like morality like like imbalance, if you really care.
But it's I've really been like in the room for like four months building out some dope content.
I'm so excited. I'm like the Ratchet. I tell people I am the Ratchet Shakespeare.
Oh, I like that.
No, it is.
I don't like that at all. That sounds ridiculous, Frigga.
Ratchet Shakespeare. Ratchet Shakespeare. I like that one. No, it is. I don't like that at all. That sounds ridiculous, Frigga. Ratchet Shakespeare.
Ratchet Shakespeare.
I like it.
Well, break that down.
What is the Ratchet Shakespeare?
Maybe I need to see it first.
Maybe I'm judging.
You know what I mean?
Do you guys have time today to watch the sizzle?
Absolutely.
How long is the sizzle?
How long is the sizzle?
It's like two minutes.
Of course.
We got two minutes.
We got time.
And then I have an emotional sizzle that's like a minute.
Wait a minute.
I need to see that. It's right here right now. Emotional sizzle, yes. Yep, an emotional sizzle. That's like a minute.
Right here, right now.
Emotional sizzle, yes.
Why are you turning to a screen?
There's nobody behind you.
He is really selling it.
I really want to see it.
No, no, no.
Here's what's crazy, y'all.
I don't have to sell this.
I'm chilling. It's just your excitement for it
makes me want to see it
there's nothing better oh my god and walk off like yo source awards you said there's nothing
better in this space this is like a 10 15 million people space this this doesn't it's i don't think
it expands the threshold has to be at 10 to 15 million. Yeah. But 10 to 15 million people subscribing is beyond a blessing, right?
But when you tell me extra ratchet, and I already think about Zeus,
because Jeff be making me watch his show.
I make him watch his dude sometimes.
And they be on there wilding.
And now you're telling me that there's a show where somebody gets shot 17 times?
Well, it's almost like it's...
Well, no, no.
And you're going to show it?
Damn. You see how it starts
some of you might find this disturbing
I had to go through a lot of legal
and I'm still going through legal
you need a curvy and through the album style show
that's what the fuck you need to be doing
that's what it is
you are the black Larry David
that's what I say this show is like
larry david i said i fucking love larry and this is my kirby rent those like i said that you really
did that's who you are that's what this show is everything that's fucking happening oops
this is ridiculous my top lip just we keep givingapped. You are kind of dry today, man.
That's how I know you're getting some money.
You woke up this morning like, fuck lotion.
Oh my God.
Ray just walked off the mic
to put chapstick on his lips.
Two orange drops.
There's nobody more entertaining.
Now, Ray, let me ask you a question.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pick your nose with it. But, Ray, let me ask you this. Last time you was here the cocaine
Back in the day well not even back in there a couple of months ago
You said you had some new medicine ADHD medicine or a DD do you still you still take them overall?
Yeah, I had to go back to the prescription though because if i don't if i'm not focused like um i don't know things things go viral and stuff so i'm
i'm like i'm happy so you're not with her bro no more i take herbal i take it when i just want to
just chill but when i need to focus right then i gotta go back to the uh the stuff the doctor
prescribed me got you are you really pushing for brandy and monica to go on tour together that's
all i want really that's all i want like what made you wake up the one day
and say i want this what i need well i've been saying it since the since they did the uh versus
yeah like i got the jet for b we got we flew out there it was just vibe they were going back and
forth it wasn't like a competition but it was yeah and brandy like her side we was i was it was like a mosh pit for in a ballot
like it was a ballot plan and you look to the side and we giving her all that support
and i just think brandy and monica is an undeniable tour right it's like you are you both win
last run like no matter what you feel or whatever like how can you not
take that opportunity?
If you know it's there, why do
anything else first? And the last song of the tour,
Boyz II Men, close it out.
That'd be crazy. So I told him
I think that's a hundred million
dollar...
I think they can bring in a $200 million.
Who opens that show, though?
I mean, of course, Monica
would have to open it, right?
Have to open it? I mean, of course, Monica would have to open it, right? Yeah.
Have to open it?
Yeah.
I would think so.
I mean, because they would be co-headlining.
I mean, you could do something different.
Maybe you could do like a song for song.
Somebody has to come out first.
Yeah.
But that's not a...
RSVP.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, that was...
No, no, no.
No.
No chance.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Look, Brandi ain't having that either.
But the Brandy Monica tour or the Monica Brandy tour, whichever one.
My title is Brandy Monica tour.
But I think that.
Yeah, well, she would have to open.
You know what I mean?
And tell them why.
It's whole headlining.
But tell them why.
And they can't do song for song for song because that'll be a replica of the verses again but no it'll break up there yeah yeah she will open she gets the crowd pump like
this is great and then brandy boom like who does you think won the verses i think brandy i'm not
praying i'm brandy all day not just because you hear you know no no no brandy is one of my that's
facts top three singers, R&B.
I told you since I was little.
They're not, who did I,
this Women's International Month,
Women's History Month,
the first lady that was the first,
Brandy was the first woman that I honored.
No, it was your mom.
Yeah, it was my mom.
You know, yeah, but Brandy,
you know what I'm saying?
She was on the second day.
I grew up on this woman.
So I'm like, all right, cool. And I also grew up on Monica, too.
And when you think of Brandy, you think of Monica.
And it's all right.
But yeah, but Monica will open.
Brandy will end it.
Absolutely.
Make that money.
We've debated who got the best catalog.
It's not about the best catalog.
It's just the best, the overall accolades, right?
Not with music, because then you go back to like the the whole tank
tyrese and genuine right tyrese is the bigger out of the three but genuine got the biggest records

Yeah, were those tears about, you know, the fourth time?
Okay.
Damn.
Ooh.
Okay.
What's going on what you want princess
it's hot in here huh
yeah it is
no take your coat off
you take your coat off
you probably
it's kind of hot yeah
a little bit
it's alright
what's really going on
with that
I mean
for the fourth time
I mean it's been a conversation
for a while
yeah
okay
and
we just
He's taking his overall right now
We trying to figure it out
We seen things unfold on TV
From the beginning like y'all been through a lot together
Y'all got kids
A lot two beautiful babies
I want to do one more day with you guys here
I know you guys are busy but I'm having fun
My son is here
I brought him with me
and it's just like it completed a lot of stuff for me because i was like he a boy my daughter
loved going to school and and she's in her zone you know i'm saying she's five about to be six
but he four and he like he like be wanting to be with me and when i'm out of town and i'm not there
that's when i get emotional because it's's like, you know what I'm saying?
Just the little things of what they're trying to learn and who they watch is who they are like.
You know what I'm saying?
So he hasn't wanted to leave me.
You know how you're like, all right, I want to go back.
Yeah.
He's like, I want to be with you forever and ever and ever and ever.
You know what I'm saying?
And then if I even go to the store, he'll just start crying.
So I'm like, you can come with me everywhere.
Because it's not like you can't.
You know what I'm saying?
Parents and everybody or creators be like, I need this time to die.
That's a front, bro.
It's just making yourself more busy than you should be for the kids.
So he here with me.
He got on the plane with me.
He hopped on the plane.
He got on the couch.
He went to sleep. He woke up inork you know just having a good time why is princess after for a divorce for the fourth time yeah um i just think that sometimes you you reached a peak
and you said this before yeah and i'm saying everyone is that next peak because sometimes
when you break up that one is where you're just like depressed about it and you're like can't think about nothing else.
You know what I'm saying?
And then the next one, it gets easier and then it starts to make sense.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I guess happiness is important.
You know what I'm saying?
But for me, if my kids are happy, then I don't care about happiness.
And a lot of people put they say you have to be happy to for your kids.
Yeah, for sure. And I feel much more like I feel like I have the power in my hands now.
But at the same time, I would I would the fact that we made the vow and I'm 100.
I would I could just I could not be happy and be happy for
the kids and just ride it out and figure out which years we're gonna have that's gonna be great
and which aren't you know what i'm saying so i'm willing to not be happy to be around my kids every
day like that's not good because the kids are the kids are all right no no i get that but it's like
if you say you're gonna die for your kids like you're gonna die for your kids
but but you won't sacrifice your happiness for no no just no that's not that's not mathematically
it doesn't doesn't add up no because if you're if you're not happy uh you know the mother the
children not happy the kids are gonna feel all that energy so you know energy is never lost to
just really transfer from one party to the next. But you have to have what
you need to give.
Do your therapists talk back
to you? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Mine doesn't. Oh, you
paying her a lot to shut up.
I just don't. I'm just like
trying to figure out what did I do?
She doesn't have conversations. You just talk and
just takes it in.
And then she might ask me one or two things
and then i say everything and then i'm like so i got somebody for you do they give you advice
yeah okay i don't know okay so this is somebody for you maybe let me read the paper that this
one that this this lady is because i don't she's taking your brain for you ray is she black is she
is she black she mixed is she bad culturally competent there no no i don't yeah no i've been
like i'm so old like i'm past like the the the you know what i'm saying the slick you know what
i'm saying the slick player shit i'm saying she's black because most times black people understand
black people no i asked them was she bad oh yeah and i said to certain people that like that kind of style oh she is so no no i'm
saying everybody's bad that's not true that's i'm telling you come on you there's no there's no
truth on somebody saying that a song is whack oh because everything's subjective i get what you
so that's what that kind of is like it's like you know if your earbud doesn't work bro the right one
just doesn't work you can't get somebody's opinion you want to get a divorce right yeah i'm i'm just i'm really happy i'm happy
that i'm just able to like create something like like in a sense of like give me this building
and do all of this shit right now and let me see it that shit is like it's it's crazy do y'all speak do you have
a good relationship yeah we talk every day we super cool like it's all good get a divorce yeah
i don't i just i don't know what that means you know what i'm saying like if we're not together
then you know i just want to i just want to protect her as far as whatever the industry has or whatever it's doing.
She's killing them in poker right now.
Yes.
There's a lot of millions on the table.
You're playing with millions of dollars.
You know what I'm saying?
So you just got to protect her and protect the kids.
My kids love their mom.
That's their everything so how can you not make sure that
that figure
is even if you say
all this crazy shit and just call me
out my name or say I'm going to die
early whatever
it's still all up
is it true that you're trying to get a pardon
for Suge Knight from Donald Trump
or you were trying to get one when he was in office for Suge Knight from Donald Trump?
Oh, you were trying to get one when he was in office?
Mm.
What did you get that from?
What?
I mean, I heard that was one of the reasons you was around him when he was in office,
because you were trying to get a pardon for Suge Knight.
No.
No.
No.
And that's what you said.
When you said it, I'm like, that is a like a good idea when it can't
happen now because he's not president well i was just but see i was i was just about to say when
he wins again that's what i was just so you're going for trump i don't who we vote for shouldn't
be the topic of conversation what can we do to help this place like you know what i'm saying
like what or what does it look like are we all is it all messed up it's all messed up to me man interest racer yeah interest race was was chilling with with with dt bro we talking one percent three percent
two percent two percent for all all people everybody ate
like you know i'm saying four more man i don't know i mean i i guarantee you this
you can't get canceled if you say you're gonna vote donald trump like you used to
right i'm saying like if you said that you you risking something right yeah now it's like i'm
voting for him too um but but but listen if you if you have your mamas and your grandma
if you have your grandmas and your mamas
Putting your ballot in for you
Cause they like well we worked hard for this so I'm gonna put yours in
And you tell them to go Trump
Just know that they still gonna go Biden
So if you wanna vote you gotta get out there
And do it yourself
Because that's what my mama did
How's your mom doing speaking of your mom
No go ahead you got it
Moms is overseeing the whole company That's what my mama did. How's your mom doing? Speaking of your mom. Go ahead. No, go ahead. You got it.
Moms is overseeing the whole company.
So I got moms as the CEO, the interim CEO right now of Tronics Network.
My mom sees it different, and my mom is super positive.
You know what I mean?
What she did with Brandy was just very, very strategic and was very clean right and then there's me you know i take showers all the time but i don't know
how i don't know how clean it's not as clean as it should be no no no no no i'm spotless
even if i wore white drawers well you told people don't wear white drawers exactly but i'm saying
i'm still dirty inside it's a deeper message i take a lot of showers but it doesn't take away from the
creative filth that um that crosses through my mind every day yeah but i want to take you guys
somewhere yeah we're gonna go i want to take you guys yeah go to the bahamas what just hang on Breakfast Club Ray J I mean we come a long way together

squad um and then oh suki and i we have hangover 69 the first song is called pipe you down the
video is done i want to break it here.
I want it to be on heavy rotation here first.
Before anywhere else.
You know what I'm saying?
This is where I see heavy road for this.
Because it has this drill beat.
I like that.
That was in the trailer though, right?
Yeah.
It's a good tune.
It's a really good tune.
And I think that here is where I know it should be first. But not not just playing it you know what i'm saying like you know but but the world gotta
love it and i want you guys to love it and if you don't i'm your friend ray's been in that one that's
my guy uh i've had my quota of ray j for the day now he's been in that listen listen i have a place
down the street you guys should come see it it It's filled with TVs and, like, all this editing thing.
It's dope.
It's dope.
Hey, Ray.
I'm watching the Ray J. Kirby Enthusiasm Show.
And we're doing Titty Tour.
What?
Oh, my God.
Okay.
That's what I want you to do.
She's pregnant, Ray.
What is the Titty Tour, Ray?
Yeah, well, Titty Table Talk.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah.
Titty table talk.
Titty table talk is really about educating, like, giving your experiences on.
Topless.
Oh, the women topless?
No, absolutely not.
Oh, okay.
So why is it called titty?
This is after the titty tour.
The titty tour is me, and I got all my.
Oh, your titty's out.
No.
Oh.
Nobody's.
It's a strip club tour.
Oh.
Got it.
We're going on a strip club tour a titty tour it's called
tops off for radio gotcha um you like that yeah i like that you get me because i'm thinking about
it's us in the strip clubs right we go there with the bus and it's invite only so we're not we don't
want you to we're not there to make money it sounds like it sounds like we are
there to throw all the money on the dancers and give you a strip club yeah and give you an
experience with the songs behind it right so you're watching they're watching this beautiful
celebration you're listening to the songs and when you leave you can't get them out your head
and so that's how we're kind of doing our radio radio run oh that's kind of like jocelyn's
cabaret how she has that strip club tour yeah the jocelyn yeah yeah but we're just we're we're
just going in and just having fun this isn't a show this is just oh okay no no no it is a show
oh it is yeah i think now it is okay i know't wait for it no i can't wait to see you as
a billionaire i'm telling you it is cold fun it is like some things i pray for god please oh wow I don't think people respect you
you started that electric bike stuff before
before Lyft
before other creators saw it
and said I got a better idea
right cause that's what ideas do
and I had to stand up because I I'm sitting down a lot when i'm editing so i'm like it's time for you to stand
on business right and what i mean by that is like you need to do more interviews where you're talking
about your business acumen and your business portfolio yeah it's time now but you know i
couldn't do that there because it was so sealed tight and i had to like you know just watch a
couple things but
i'm in full control i spent all my money i spent all my money on this never subscribe you didn't
even tell them how to subscribe tronix t-r-o-n-i-x network.com you should give people 30 days free
where they can see if they can enjoy it first and then you'll get them clicked he was already
talking about you know how you do you to put your credit card info anyway.
I get 30 days.
Yeah, don't do that.
See, you got to understand, DJ Envy, this is the loudest, most premium content they're ever going to get with an arc that you can't beat that just makes you feel good for $4.99.
That you've never seen. Yeah, because what's
out now is a saturation
of inconsistency
where you don't know what's
going on, but they're fighting.
It works for a target audience,
but doing my testing with that audience,
they love these story arcs as well.
They love, like, you know,
a show to start, and then it has
a climax, and then it goes into the
inspirational thing or the cliffhanger for something else it's not being produced like
that right now yeah on the other shows and and if zeus is our competition then we're our competition
yeah because there there hasn't been another show after the shows we did that are the shows we did
you can take us off of baddies executive producer for the second
and third season and on fine you see where the first time it starts what they say boom no man
what I love about what you showed us is we saw the side that demand letter and then we saw the
emotional parts behind it we saw fights and then we seen the same niggas crying
like I love you then we
shoot you know we throw to a clip of you

Splits, who's the first fighter on the Fight Club.
I let her produce a show called Big Hoochies of Atlanta.
And that's the big ones.
The big ones.
Ooh.
So we got the big ones.
Big back to ATL.
Okay.
Ray J got a show called Big Back to ATL.
That's crazy.
That's what's up.
And the Gagencies
series is like Brokeback Mountain
but the reality version. Oh, I love it.
Oh my God.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Ray J!
Tronics Network, we appreciate you
brother. Make sure you didn't pass out over there.
Ray is the illest man.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Wake that ass up, girl. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake that ass up in the morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, y'all.
Niminy here.
I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history,
like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin.
Get the kids in your life excited about history
by tuning in
to Historical Records. Because
in order to make history,
you have to make some noise.
Listen to Historical
Records on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
