I don't have an answer to that, but I know that Joe and Donald, I don't know what it is. I don't have an answer to that. But I know that Joe and Donald, I don't think they're the answer. So I think we need to figure out something else.

I agree with you. I know other people have been voting, I guess, on the primary, I guess, like something to the effect of none of the above. Yeah, none of the above. Uncommitted. Uncommitted, exactly. So I just think that we need um we need another option like i said somebody else out there independent party but i don't see anybody stepping up so we need something else maybe it needs to come from uh our our generation yes it's amazing to me that uh the last couple presidential elections you know you haven't had had a third party really make some noise.

But I think it's all about the candidate. Like, we haven't had the right third party candidate yet. When we get the right third party candidate, I think you'll see the third party have some impact. And somebody who can generate some money. Yeah. Hello, who's this? What up, man? It's Knowledge, man.

Some people are always accepting her, just like we accept black Republicans. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I'm not. I mean, like you just said, everybody has an audience, you know, and everybody has people that don't like them either. So it is what it is.

even, I be dead. So, I mean, I'm like, y'all got the right one, finally. But I would say this on the out. Be careful of what the white man is putting in our ear, which is a bunch of white feminism. And it's ruining our families. And that's just something to be aware of. I don't know.

I don't really take for no kick day and all of that. Just love to the black man, love to the black family, love to the black woman, all of it. So let me ask you a question. What grade was you smoking this morning

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. Rich Dirty Bronx. Rich Dirty Bronx. French Montana. What up, French? How you doing, my brother? You know where that intro came from, right? You know who called me that?

Yeah, man. I'm telling you. We were in IHAR, right? We were in Vegas. And I was like, yo, French, you was a... I was like, damn, I'm proud of you. You was a Dirty Bronx. Damn, man.

That's what I said. But I was so proud of him because I didn't see French come up from the slums. People talk about where they came from and the things that they did, but French used to be in the dirty BX clubs and the dirty Brooklyn clubs and the dirty Queens clubs, making the DJs play his music.

That was French. That's where you would see French. I'm like, damn, you came a long way to visit stages. I saw him right before that yeah when max was i mean never ignorant getting goals accomplished right it's like coke boys creation of kings everywhere oh you already got it prepared when you have to go to the humble under god you're already prepared they're gonna if they ever need to use this this is what they're going to do and that's one of my favorite

Joints on the album Which is the intro It's called Dirty Bronx Thank you And you kinda Talk about everything Where you came from Everybody talking

Sampled on What was that you sampled on that OC OC Yeah time's up Yeah yeah You talk about everybody People comparing you to

Chings and Max with the wave And all that So I think that's One of the dopest Joints on there But why Mac and Cheese 5 and what took so damn long, French?

I felt like, you know, I needed to get everything out the way then go back to the mixtape vibes. I feel like the game, I always try to go where the puck is going, not where the puck is at. You know what I'm saying?

So I feel like the game need mixtapes. I feel like we lost a lot of, you know, it's like that feeling's not there no more. Like, albums is dope. Everybody's getting used to it. I feel like the mixtape game, just like, I's like that feeling is not there no more. It's like albums is dope. Everybody's getting used to it. I feel like the mixtape game is just like I want to hear the Wayne mixtapes.

I want to hear Wiz Khalifa drop Orange. You know what I'm saying? And I just want to get back to that vibe. And I want to lead the wave with the mixtapes. I like how you set the tone with Dirty Bronx. Why did you feel the need to confront all the negativity that's been directed towards you? Because I wanted to get that out the way that's been directed towards you because i wanted to get that out the way so we could focus on the music you know what i'm saying it's like you know

it's like i learned from from from eminem you know the tactics he used i learned from you know jay when he did 444 and i learned from you know i'm like a student of the game so it's like you know this is this is me interviewing myself on my own album just in case you know because you got your fans but then you also got your haters that listen to your music. So the haters are going to hear themselves in there, and your fans are going to be right there like I told you. So it's like, that's the kind of vibe I was going with, you know? Why end it on five? Five?

Because we do need more mixtapes. Why are you ending it on five? Man, because I just wanted to give it my all and just leave it right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just start something new. But you never know. You know, Jay-Z made the Black album all and just leave it right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just start something new. But you never know. Jay-Z made the Black album, and he backed out of it. So it was like, you never know.

Oh, so this is a retirement album? I thought this was the end of the series. No, no, no, no. This is the end of the series. Mix tape. The mix tape series. What do you do to make all your money, French? Me?

Yeah. I just hustle. I've been hustling for a long time. I mean, we know you're hustling. You ain't listen to Dirty Bronx? How many albums he sold? How many records he sold? I know that.

By the way, that was the beauty of Dirty Bronx because you put a lot of things in perspective. I think I knew that you was the most screamed African-born artist. Yeah. But I didn't know you had sold that many records. Yeah. Was it 100 million? No.

Yeah, like 100 million between mines and all the features that I was in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you figure like Unforgettable alone is like 13 million. That's just like. Oh, my God, yes, that's like by itself. So, I mean, man, I've been on some big record. My catalog is crazy. Yeah.

But you say on the album, you say people think it's just your features. Yeah. But you the main feature. Yeah, because, you know, you still look at the all the way ups and you look at like, you know what I'm saying? Like the loyal Chris Brown and all those, like, you know, I was part of some big features. And, you know, like the catalog is big. I still ain't selling yet.

I'm thinking about selling that and just buying like this building across the street from you. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How much do you think your catalog worth? I don't know. I always felt like, you know, if somebody's trying to buy something from you, then guess, you know, then how much money are they going to make? Ain't nobody buying that to take a loss.

So, you know, I always looked at it like that at one time well if you know French you know when French goes out and he knows you he's gonna invite you to his party right that's who French is

as a person like if y'all smoking y'all smoking together y'all drinking you're gonna take care you're gonna make sure you're good then there was one time where you just stopped right

cause you said you had to get back healthy you stopped drinking you stopped smoking are you still in that phase and no more drinking or smoking yeah yeah definitely definitely man you said you had to get back healthy. Yeah, yeah. You stopped drinking. You stopped smoking. Are you still in that phase and no more drinking or smoking? Yeah, yeah, definitely. Definitely, man.

You know, when you sit across from like a billionaire or something, you know, as soon as you take that sip of liquor or take that puff of weed, like you're already richer than him. You know what I'm saying? So I just not had to focus up. We lost a lot of money. We made a lot of bad business deals with, you know, might have overslept and lost a bag.

Might have did this, might have did that, you know might have overslept and lost a bag might have did this might have did that you know and i got a chance to make some generational wealth and change generations down you know what i'm saying so i was like you know let me just focus up and not leave no bags on the table will you ever fear for i know a lot of artists say that sometimes they feel like that drug or that alcohol puts them in the right zone will you ever fear for like damn if i don't drink like i used to or i don't smoke that i might not be in the same zone as i was and making pop that or you ain't worried about nothing or you know some of those other records um man i've been popping perks for like 10 years you know i'm saying oxy's perks drinking this 20 years it got to the point where i wasn't getting drunk

or high anymore right like now i'm higher than i was when i was taking the drugs it's just like my body's just like you know it's like in shock but i i feel like making music is a passion is love it had nothing to do with drugs you know i'm saying it was just the drugs kept the negative around me you know i'm saying like the people i lost people when i stopped doing drugs i didn't lose the passion you know i'm saying? Like the people, I lost people when I stopped doing drugs. I didn't lose the passion. You know what I'm saying? Because, you know, when you drink and you take drugs, you let, you know what I'm saying? You let the devil in.

You let, you know what I mean? Like I was inviting everybody and everybody wasn't inviting me. You know what I'm saying? And everybody had motives and some of them had the negative. I mean, I don't mind helping people that have motives. You know what I'm saying? That's how we get our blessings. But there's people that have motives that have negative motives towards you. I help anybody that have a, you know what I'm saying? That's how we get our blessings. But there's people that have motives that have negative motives towards you.

I have anybody that have a positive motive towards me. So I feel like I was there in the negative and the positive. And that's why things started happening and this and that. What about your passion for sleeping with rappers' wives? That's inviting the devil in. Damn. Too French. Uh-huh.

Come on, you say on the album. Oh, sorry, bro. Rap with wives. Yes, we heard. Come on. And that's on the album. Come on. You were the number one sniper. But that's where hand came from. Because you heard him.

They would be in the club and they'd be like, you know, people try to do business deals in the middle of the club. They'd be like, hand. So let me tell you the story about that. Okay. Me and Drake was first working on the record. Another sniper? Yeah, working on the record.

The first line he said, he was like, on double MG, I'll rap his wife. He was like, we should start off like that. Then I just took it, and I just ran with it, and I just made the first line there. But what that got to do with doing it in real life, though? Huh? What that got to do with actually

rapping his wife in real life? No, honestly, I to do with actually f***ing rapping why is it real life no honestly I never did I don't f***ing know by why okay okay no rapper why okay

so just rap rap cat oh yeah just rap cat okay okay alright we got more with French Montana

when we come back it's The Breakfast Club good morning The Breakfast Club good morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we're still kicking it with french montana his album is out today mac and cheese five charlamagne you

embrace a lot of um young artists from the bronx too like you got yeah you got a few of them on this project yeah yeah shot um shot the deep thing shot the kenzo she in the back they're both from the bronx i 41 They from Brooklyn 41 yeah Yeah they on the album 41 Jus Jen Carter too Yeah yeah

Jen Carter Yeah yeah They from Brooklyn What makes you want to embrace The young generation like that Man I always looked at myself Like the bridge To the music game

I felt like I could always Tap in with With the Kanye's You know what I'm saying The J's Or whatever it is And still tap back in with the pop smokes, the shmurdas, and do this, do this, and that.

I felt like I was always the bridge in between. How hard is it to break an artist nowadays? Man, I think the artist has got to want it. You know what I'm saying? I think there's no certain structure or menu to it. I feel like you just can't have no plan B. You just got to want it. You just got to go all out for it.

What's the expectation, though? What's the expectation for a rapper in 2024 um I think there is none there's so many I think there is none there's so many yeah I don't feel like you could with social media I don't feel like there is none I feel like you know you just gotta you just gotta to have that character, you know? You had those big brother conversations, though? Like, you know, because I know whether it's recording and spending or being on time and all the stuff that you f***ed up with. Do you have those big brother conversations?

Like, let me walk you down. Yeah, you know, I saw him in the studio. I'm like, yo, bro, there's no other place you should be at outside of this studio. Like, that room right there on four walls, that's your bank. That's your vote. Anywhere out of that room, you're no good to nobody. You know what I'm saying? He just came home from jail.

So like you're out of that room, you're no good. Because, you know, you're liable to get in trouble. You're liable to get caught up with the wrong things. You're liable to be around the wrong things. So I just feel like that room right there, you know what I mean? Like you just got to make as much music as you can. Because you never know. You never know when you're going to make as much music as you can. Because you never know. You never know when you're going to make that one record.

That's going to change your life forever. And how do you deal with all this now? Because you've seen everything. I mean, you didn't see shootouts. You didn't see death. You didn't see so much because you've been there. Yeah. But you also do know part of your music is being there.

Yeah. And being able to write that and rap that and all that, you know? You know what I'm saying? You're going to do that. But sometimes you get caught up too much in that man you know i'm saying especially if you come home from jail you want to live the life you want to do this do that i mean it's just when when things happen to people they never expect it to happen that's why it happened yeah when things happen to people you never expected it to happen that's why it happened chinks would have never

went to that hookah spot 4 a.m. In the morning, yeah. In the morning. By himself. You know what I'm saying? No, he had security. He had security? Yeah.

He had security with him and everything. Well, he got shot. It was in the car, so I mean. Yeah, he got shot six times in the car. He had security with him and everything. It was 4 in the morning, leaving the hookah spot, going chasing a joint on the side of a road. Just like, you know what I mean? Like, he didn't expect that to happen.

That's what I'm saying. So when you think about all of the violence that you've seen, were you afraid to sign drill rappers? Hell no. We was drill before drill. Because everybody was saying, like, there was a period, it felt like labels were about to back away from drill. We were drill music before drill music.

Me and Max B, we had beef with the whole New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you don't think drill is a sound. It's just a lifestyle. A lifestyle of energy. Yeah, Chicago is like that. So what is drill, D-Tay? What is drill right now?

Yeah, go ahead, D. Now drill is like anybody do it. You could just come from college and just had a whole good life and just drill rap now. Like, just do that now. Wasn't like that for me when I was coming for me. But I had to really do it.

But that's the problem though. You know what I'm saying? Like, a lot of rap, like you saw Pat Joe say 95% of his lyrics were lies. Not this new generation. Nah.

He started drilling, bro. You can't lie. Truth. That's bad. We can't lie. And you don't get enough credit for the community service you do. I mean,

it's around the world. Yeah. And you donated 500 canoes? Yeah,oko it's crazy it's like the city is under the waters it's like i've never been nowhere it's like that it's like you take a canoe from like from like the bridge side and it and you like you you stay on the canoe for like a half an hour then you just approach this city that's all underwater like nah it's crazy like yeah like half of the half of the crib is under the water then like only like two floors up and people just nah the living was crazy

when i went there i think like 300 000 people i don't know i don't know how it got like that but it's one of them wonders of the world oh she said was it a flood or something yeah i don't know i don't know the history but it was just a blessing to see that and a blessing to see that I can help the same thing with Uganda

we went and opened up a hospital over there same thing with Morocco we went yeah quick relief fund yeah for Morocco same thing for the Bronx

open up school program I mean whenever we get a chance to give we always gonna give back yeah it wasn't true that you said that J. cole was supposed

to executive produce my first album yeah yeah jay cole heard my first album in in miami we was all in trina house and i was playing it for him and he was like yo bro let me executive produce it then we was on tour with um club paradise tour with drake so we all just jumped on tour but honestly part of me was like yo i'm gonna let him just put his name on it but if i'm gonna do an album with j cole i'm gonna want j cole to do with me from the beginning so i could benefit from the j cole experience you know i'm saying i come to him with an album already done like y'all just slap your name on it who do you think you have better chemistry with cole or drake i feel like drake for something yeah yeah because you say y'all like one and two y'all go back and forth drake yeah drake not dra Drake my twin, man. That's my bro.

Me and him definitely got better chemistry. Just because, you know, when Drake first came and people didn't really know who he was, he came in, you know, to New York and this and that, and we met up. And again, in Miami, when I was doing Ross' album, we did Stay Schemin'. And Drake first heard it when Ross played it for him. And he was like, yo, I heard the whole album. I want to do this joint. You know what I'm saying?

And just like we're building out from Pop Dad to, you know, the whole thing, I felt like it was more natural. That's crazy. That's two of Drake's best verses, Face Gaming and Pop Dad. Yeah. Definitely. It was moments. You know what I'm saying?

It was moments that was crazy. Who smashed more Kardashians, you or Drake? Jesus Christ. Okay. All right, well, we appreciate you for joining us. Man, thank you for having me. Ladies and gentlemen, Mac and Cheese 5. Make sure you get it.

here. And he just put them in and he kind of like tugs on it a little bit and it's painful. But man, it's very, very stress relieving. So you were able to open your mouth wider after? Like what type of effects? I haven't been grinding my teeth as much since then.

Yeah, I haven't been grinding my teeth that much since then. But I mean, I've never had a male masseuse until that time and he did a fantastic job but it's just like football players and basketball players who got male trainers who you think is massaging them and rubbing on their muscles no absolutely but i just never heard of a mouth massage yeah it's out there i'm a matter of fact i'm a googly right now yeah matter of fact um yeah when i go to when i go to physical therapy and there's a male masseuse that's that's different but when you go to a massage place and the lights are low and it's intimate and the candles are burning yeah i would just prefer a woman to massage me that is just me

but you did um you did have a male masseuse before and you listen to everything absolutely but it wasn't that it was it was me and my wife It was a couple's massage and they were supposed to teach us how to give a massage. And the dude came in, diesel, dreads, brown skin brother. Very sexy. The fact that you described him makes me think that this was a free call case. He got charged with a free call.

You know what I mean? But during the massage, I couldn't enjoy the massage because this big brother, diesel, with dreads, was massaging me. That's your insecurities. It was. But during the massage I couldn't enjoy the massage Because this big brother Diesel With dreads Was massaging me That's your insecurities It was

That's your insecurities And I don't want it again I don't know why you so insecure If you ain't never had your butt touched Like I don't have those insecurities Like I ain't think of nothing When that man was massaging me I didn't think about nothing

Except for this was a good massage Okay Nothing In no way shape or form But this is a real thing Clinical oral facial massage. That's what it's called. I get that all the time.

And the woman that does it is dope. She does an amazing job. It alleviates clicking or popping of the jaw, clenching, locked jaw, and limited mouth open range. And it releases muscles. And I've never seen this word, fascia, involved with chewing and jaw clenching. So this is a thing. So when he massages you, does he reach over you? Yeah.

Now he's on the side. Because you know you have to lay. Y'all did it from the side. What'd you say? He was on the side. Oh, he was on the side. When he was on one side, I had to turn this way. Now he was on this side, I had to turn that way.

But listen, if you've never had a clinical oral facial massage, trust me, it is worth it. Okay. What about you i enjoy massages from the same sex um although i have had massages uh from a male and i like the pressure more from a guy um however i ain't gonna lie i do get excited like especially when they be like turnover and you massaging my stomach and under my breasts and all that. And I just be like, stop. So I'm

not gonna lie, yo. I don't know. I just, I can't. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This is Kevin from Brooklyn. Hey, Kevin from Brooklyn. What's going on, FD? How you doing? I'm doing good. I love you, baby. I love you too, baby.

We're talking about massages from the same sex to opposite sex, brother. Talk to us. Yeah, I had to dip out on a massage the other day because it was same sex. I'm not going to call the company me. Well, yeah, it was same sex, and I wasn't feeling that. I can't have a next man rubbing me. I just can't do that. You never played any type of man rubbing me. I just, I can't do that. You never played any type of sports in high school or anything like that?

It's different. Yeah. It's different when the lights are low and you're laying on the thing and there's a candle lit. Yeah. And the music is playing. Yeah, because they set. Then we all in a locker room. Yeah, they set the mood.

It's different. Y'all, I think y'all gave him the look. I just can't. It's something about a man. Because, see, my lower back hurts. And it's something about a man rubbing down there. I can't, you know, I can't. Yeah. I'm sitting right a man, because see, my lower back hurts. And if something about a man rubbing down there, I can't, you know, I can't sit right with it. Yeah.

Well, Charlamagne is upset because not a lot of men, not all men are open up to other men, are open to other men touching them. I just don't know why everybody's so insecure. It has nothing to do with insecurity. This has very much got to do with insecurity, because if in your mind you're thinking, man, I might get turned on by this guy, man. I don't want this guy touching me because I might like it. That's your problem. That's something you need to do.

No, that's not everybody's problem. Envy said that. Not everybody said that. Envy said the same thing you said. He said, man, when the guy told me to turn around, I tooted up a little bit. No, I did not say that.

You just can't make up stories. You just can't make up stories. He just made that up. You just can't make stuff up. Hello, who's this? Hello, my name is Monica. Hey, Monica. Good morning.

Good morning. Now, it says you're uncomfortable receiving mass massages from other men yes i am why um because i feel like i make noises that i'm if i'm enjoying it yes so it sounds sexual even though it may not be sexual girl yes and i usually make the guy think oh well she might be into me and it may not be sexual. And I usually make the guy think, oh, well, she might be into me and it may go somewhere that it's not supposed to. Like what kind of noises? Well, you a freaky boy. You a yellow freaky boy, man.

What's your problem? I never got into myself. Yeah, yeah. But I get what you're saying, though. Yeah, girl, come with a whole soundtrack, especially when they tell you. Yeah, it does. And that's just how I am. And I don't know how to not be that way. But I get what you're saying though. Yeah girl come with a whole soundtrack especially when they tell you I just rather get one from a woman cuz I'm not interested in them

You know you bring up you bring up a good point like every single time I get a massage, you know from a woman You know you do tend to get a little direct, you know I've never when I had it with the guy, that didn't happen at all. Did you make sounds? Did you make sounds? Right, because there's no interest. And if they're making you feel good, like, you can't help but sound like it feels good. And by the way, the guy made me feel good, but I didn't get a wreck.

Because you're not attracted to the guy. Yeah, because when they hit your lower back, I'm telling you, like, sometimes it's like, uh, like, oh my God lower back, I'm telling you, like, sometimes it's like, uh, like, oh, my God. Yes. Like right there. And then when they turn you over and they go below your belly button, it's like, oh, my God. Like, what you doing? You get all jittery.

That's the third time she said, well, they turn you over. Jesus Christ. But, bro, that's a full body. They do your back and then they turn you over and they do everything else. We have a massage therapist on the line. Hello? Hey, yes. Hey, what's your name, bro? My name's Chris.

Are you brown skinned with dreads? No. All right, cool. Just making sure. I'm brown skinned with a bald head and a beard. All right, cool. Just making sure. Oh, yes.

It's okay, brother. It's a pleasure. It's a pleasure to be on here. So I've been a massage therapist for 12 years, and I have that problem majority of the time where the husbands have a hard time working with me. But it's not about that. It's the muscular care that needs to be done for our society that we're not addressing. Biometrical movement is the key to internal healing.

And so what's happening in our society now is we're quick to biochemical things in our mouth, but we're not doing the things that we need to do on a muscular level to heal. That's right. You got to move that trauma up out of your body. That's right. And so with got to move that trauma up out of your body. That's right. And so with that, there's 656 individual muscles, 360 joints, and 208 bones that nobody knows anything about.

Do you do the oral facial massage? Yes. It's called inter-oral massages, where you go into the mandible, you release the masseter, and it helps with the TMJ. That's right. It hurts, but it feels so good. Afterwards. I do neuromuscular therapy. Neuromuscular therapy is trigger point release to the actual belly of the muscle.

It actually helps elongate the individual muscle from the insertion to origin. He couldn't do my massage, not the way he's talking, you gotta be quiet the whole time. I don't even know what he's saying, I'm just like, oh yes, come teach me. You do tennis elbow bro? I do tennis elbow, golfer, hip flexor, rotator cuff. You guys need to do yourself some research on neuromuscular therapy. Oh, I love it. I'm about to go get me a massage today because of you. I'm going, I'm about to go.

Yes. I got so many points at Massage Envy. S***. We're not going to get it like him. If you ever want to check out massage care out of Conway, South Carolina, I opened up my business and that's what I'm focusing on. Oh, Conway, South Carolina. I opened up my business and that's what I'm focusing on.

Oh, you're in South Carolina? Trying to change. Oh, he excited now? Yes, sir. Okay. He gonna fly down there to you, sir. Nah, nah, nah. I can't let a male touch me in South Carolina.

What? Hey, I'm from D.C. See, that's the perception. Okay. Say, say. Life trauma, childhood trauma causes us not to want to be touched. That's real. We have to deal with that trauma.

Listen, he is not lying in no way, shape, or form. Salute to that brother. Your shoulder ain't full of doodoo. Yeah, it definitely is. Yo, nah, I can't let another male touch me from South Carolina. I said touch me in South Carolina. What's the difference? Because of the childhood trauma that I experienced in South Carolina.

Yeah, I was going to say, he just told you. All the times I got touched in South Carolina by people that wasn't supposed to be touching me. Oh, my God. Now, laugh at that. Let's see you get out of this one. Oh, my God. The fun police over here. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Alari. Showing me the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest at the building. It's not a guest, man.

This is our guy. We got family members. Okay, this is our guy. This is the first guest that was ever in the 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 loved. Man, I'm so happy to see y'all.

I'm just holding it in. I'm happy to see you too, brother. And I'm so happy to see you. Thank you. I'm happy to see you too. Yeah. What's happening, Willie Ray? What's up, man? We got a new network. I see you too, brother. I'm so happy to see you. Thank you. I'm happy to see you too. Yeah. What's happening, Willie Ray? What's up, man?

We got a new network. I see that. I see. First of all, what happened with Raycon? Nothing. It's just, you know, 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.

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 gotcha yeah i sold it back to raycon i you know it wasn't for sale um for another investor to come in i gotta get you some lotion 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. So what's the name of this network?

The network is called the Tronics Network. Why is it called the Tronics Network? The Tronics Network, because we look at the Tron as like a matrix, you know what I'm saying? Like a manifestation tool. 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 growth.

So Tronics, you know, I had the Raytronics company before we sold Scooty Bike. And we 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're going to be competing with Zeus. Well, if 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 partners. You know what I'm saying? 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.

We gave Zeus their first fight, which sounds a little. But we gave Zeus their first fight, which was Row but we gave Zeus their first fight which was Rolly 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 Lee 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 Zeusus no oh no nope and you know we had shows on zeus yeah we had the best shows like even baddies like yeah i mean a lot of a lot of people get amnesia right because you say 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 art 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 do that kind of show and i want to show people like what a ratchet show and a balance 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 yeah um so um you know yo we 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. It's like you guys are in this, 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 going to show you guys. It's a really good show, and then you'll see what it is.

It's light. It's people fighting? Yeah, it's people fighting, but that show is catered for that. So, there's a lot good show. And then you'll see what it is. It's light. It's people fighting? Yeah, it's people fighting. But that show is catered for that. So there's a lot of other shows. We have Inside the Network. We have Going on a Safari. We have The Girls Club.

The Cook-Off. We have shows like that. But then, just like the conversation, I felt like people were teasing you. And then they started to get to this deep conversation. When we did it, it's just, let's go right into it. What's the Balance and 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 what you first thought, because that was the truth. There isn't a balance in trying to create another story only to end at the fight, right? It's straight about what it is, but 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 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. Any scripted drama, you know, comedy shows,

like any... Because you do a lot of things, right? Yeah, well, we're creating as we go. I have like eight shows. So the eight shows that come out are dating. It's Inside the Network. It's a big transgender show,

The Girls Club. We also have the gay... It's called the what? The Girls Club. Oh, wow. And then there's another the gay, it's called the what? 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 I, and one thing that I don't do is my mission is 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 one of the loudest shows we have sydney star is the star that 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's like yeah it was crazy it's in it's in it's in there it's all about that on camera yeah shout out to the rod from the agency shout out to the agency from 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, 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 loving 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 credit all of that and boom you know what i mean you're about to steal all lee's uh 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 Lee?

Oh, let me. Damn. I can't remember his name. I'm not bad. Yeah, because my other co-founder from Raycon is Ray Lee. So I was like, he knows how. I got you. I got you.

All right. We got more with Ray J. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Ray J. DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious. Charlamagnelamagne the god ray j is still here with us so now recently on some on

some other news i was looking at tmc they robbed your cars they stole your cars two maybacks missing like what out of nowhere from where right on our moment they it's in they're in reno right now the cars the car yeah and we was 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 we had the suits and we was gonna go corporate and then it just kind of like you know I'm saying somebody transported them and then they stopped answering the phone and we tracked the cars and it was in Reno I like this casino and chop shop they? 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 Raycon check was, man? 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 three PO services you need or the warehouses customer service. The CMO has to be right. The CFO has to be right. Right. this new company like I know so much from strategic marketing and what we've done there to conversion marketing to in all these other like shortcuts that we

have so it's only right to implement that into the reality shows cuz I never lost in reality and I would say that I'm the I'm the reality show king I do that I was gonna base it like you know Woods of it, but I didn't. No, Tiger wasn't the first. Jess says no. Jess is the Reality Show Connoisseur. Jess says no. Wait, what are you talking about?

There's nobody bigger than me. Well, at first, I ain't going to lie. At first, it was Stevie J for a long time. In that era. In that era. It was Stevie J for a long time. He had it. He had it in that era. In that era. In that era. It was Stevie J. Ray's after that era, though.

No, no. No, no, no, no. Ray is there. This is after Ray. This is, this era, this is after. Love and hip hop

is after for the love of Ray J and Brandy and Ray J and family business. Yeah. Yeah. Damn, damn. Damn. See, Ray, Ray, you gotta toot Yeah. Damn. Damn. Damn.

See, Ray? Ray, you got to tune on. We've had this conversation. Right. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So in reality, that's where I dominate. So why wouldn't I? I never thought about that.

That's what Ray J 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. Would you put your family back on reality show because people scrutinize your relationship and no matter what you do, the eyes are always there. Yeah, but that's the,

and I mentioned that. That's what you sacrificed, really. Yeah, 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 even.

The short end of the stick. Yeah, I mean, your church is even tripping. Like, it's like, you know what I mean? Because the Ratched 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, reality has been Ratched since it's been on. No, but not this Ratched. Yeah, but you've never seen nothing. That's true. When did it go away, though? The reality has been Ratchet's been on. Yeah, but you've never seen nothing like

the Tronics Network. You've never seen nothing like the Tronics Network. 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. Yeah yeah this is ratchet with a message yeah does it have a message absolutely ratchet has a lot of messages because when you watch yourself in a ratchet environment you do either ratchet things or you do the right thing that'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 was fighting because they were tripping off something i just caught it on tape or the agency the agency i mean got cameras set up back no no when they was fighting i just grabbed the table i was just

grabbed the phone but after that yeah i started to have like i got four or five shooters just ready for anything that happens now i'm like the ratchet i told people i am the ratchet shakespeare oh i like oh i like that no it is and and what i don't like that at all that sounds ridiculous frasier ratchet shakespeare ratchet shakespeare i like it 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

Are you really pushing For Brandy and Monica To go on tour together That's all I want What made you wake up The one day and say This is what I need Well I've been saying it

Since they did the Rehearses 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 ballad it was a ballad 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 no matter what you feel or whatever like how can you not take that opportunity yeah i love why if you know it's there why do anything else first and the last song of the tour boys mine close it out god bless you crazy so i told him like i think that's a that's a hundred million dollar. Both of them, I think they can bring in a two million. Who opens up that show, though? Huh? Who opens that show?

I mean, of course, Monica would have to open it, right? Yeah. Have to open it? Yeah. I would think so. I mean, because it would be called 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, Jeff.

Yeah, no, no, no. Brandy ain't having that either. She... But the Brandy Monica tour or the Monica Brandy tour, whichever one. My title is Brandy Monica tour. Yeah, well, she would have to open.

You know what I mean? And tell them why. It's cold 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 the set. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She will open. She gets the crowd pumped. Like, this is great. And then Brandi, boom. Like, who did you think won the verses? I think Brandi. I'm Brandi all day. I don't even remember.

Not just because you hear. No, no, no. Brandi is one of my top three singers, R&B. I told you since I was little. They're not. Who did I? There's Women's International Month, Women's History Month. The first lady.

Oh, Brandy, yeah. Brandy was the first woman that I honored. No, it was your mom. Yeah, it was my mom. Didn't break hair. 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 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 i think the overall accolades, right? You know? Not with music because then you go back to like the whole Tank, Tyrese,

and Genuine, right? Tyrese is the bigger out of the three, but Genuine got the biggest record. Bro, Tyrese is the biggest out of all three of them? Yeah.

As far as movie. Tyrese is not the biggest out of them. I'm talking about like singers. Tank, Genuine. No, I think Genuine. I think Tyrese is the most person popular

Tyrese is the most irritating. Okay. Yeah, right? He's definitely, so he definitely is the most entertaining. Exactly. No, no, no, he's not the most entertaining. I like irritating. He's the most irritating.

He irritates the shit out of me. Yeah, okay. Everything he's been doing lately has just been cringy. Y'all know each other? Y'all know each other. Of course y'all know each other. Him and my sister are cool friends. They always been cool.

You never liked him? I don't, you know what I'm saying? I don't care about Tyrese. I don't like some of the stuff he be doing and saying, you know what I'm saying? And crying about a bunch of stuff. I'm not going to diss Tyrese. You already did. Oh yeah, that's gone.

You've done enough for him to go on Instagram. Remember last time he was playing around with Eddie Murphy, remember? Last time I got mad at Tyrese. I remember. He just don't play with me. remember? Last time I got mad at Tyrese. I remember. Don't play with me. Yeah. Don't play with me, Tyrese. I'm not like that. But still, yeah, man.

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 the fact that we make 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 going to die for your kids,

like you're going to die for your kids, but you won't sacrifice your happiness for them? No. No. Just no. Do you want to get a divorce, Ray? I'm just, I'm really happy. I'm happy that I'm just able to, like, create something like,

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 gonna die early, whatever, it's still all love.

Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a reason? He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it. People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. It's time for donkey of the Day and I deserve it. People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. Tell them.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. It's a read, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake-ass Charlemagne. There's only one Charlemagne to go. Damn, Charlemagne. Who you give a Donkey of the Day to now? Well, Sexy Ray, Donkey of the Day goes to a 26-year-old Evansville woman named Lindsay Pearson. Now, I get on this radio quite often and warn you all about the dangers of drunk driving.

There is absolutely zero reason to drive drunk, okay, especially in 2024 because there's way too many ride share options out here. All right, not too many taxi cabs, but they still exist. All right, if you can't find a ride wherever you at drunk, ask for somebody who works at the establishment to assist you. They would be more than happy to. And if all that fails, then at least you should have a designated driver. Well, what if I told you that Lindsay said she had one drink at Rick's Sports Bar and she must be a lightweight or that must have been a very strong drink. Some Bacardi 151 or a Long Island iced tea type concoction with vodka, rum, tequila, gin. Something had her leaning. Okay.

Apparently. And it was just one drink. And it had her leaning so much that she could drive, but she couldn't drive. So she decided to get a designated driver. Now, I never thought about who shouldn't be a designated driver outside of someone else who is also drunk. Like, you can't have a person who's also been drinking be the designated driver. Okay. Even if you don't have a license who's also been drinking be the designated driver okay even if you don't have a license like it's suspended or something i understand uh if that person drives they may be breaking the law but i would still rather them drive with a suspended license than drive drunk well lindsey has broadened my perspective on this issue there are other

designated drivers you shouldn't have i would never think that i would have to tell you about them but let's go to wfie news 14 for the report, please. Ullman is facing child neglect charges. Police say she let a 12-year-old drive a car with herself and two other kids inside. Officers say Lindsey Pearson's brother-in-law told them she did it because she was intoxicated. Officers say when they interviewed Pearson, she told them she had one drink at a bar. She also told them she didn't know 12-year-olds could legally drive, or could not, excuse me, legally drive on public roads.

Police also charged Pearson with resisting law enforcement, saying she continued to scream as they tried to arrest her. Mm. Uh, you left the bar to go pick up the kids and let one of them drive how many lies were told in this story first of all to lie that she had one drink okay let's just say she had one drink cool she was on something else okay if it's after one in the morning and you get the bright idea that you need to teach a 12 year old to drive you on something harder than one drink i know on cocaine or something stronger when I hear it.

Another lie. When Lindsey told police that she did not know that 12-year-olds could not drive vehicles on public roads. Really? Really, Lindsey? Never in the history of American life have 12-year-olds been old enough to do anything fun. All right? You can't drink at 12 legally.

You can't buy alcohol at 12 legally. You can't have sex at 12 legally. You can't buy anything't drink at 12 legally you can't buy alcohol at 12 legally you can't have sex at 12 legally you can't buy anything with tobacco at 12 legally you can't rent a car at 12 legally and you certainly can't drive at 12 legally so you're lying and you know you're lying okay you lie you lie you lie and you know what rhymes with lie hi that's what you are i believe you when you said you only have one drink. But I also know alcohol and cocaine are popular among drug users. So I'm sensing some sort of combination. Now, I believe Lindsay should be investigated further because who the hell are these kids? Where are their parents?

All right. It's after 1 a.m. in the morning. You have a drink and you decide to just go pick up some kids to go joyriding. These news reports don't say they were her children, her family. It just says she went to go pick up three kids. Nobody wants to know how this 26-year-old woman just knew random 12-year-olds and why was it okay for random 12-year-olds to leave the house after 1 in the morning and how come nobody is asking any questions about that?

I'll tell you why. But I can't tell you why until we play a game of Guess What Race It Is. Lindsey Pearson, 26 years old, had one drink, allegedly, at a sports bar in Indiana. Decided after 1 a.m. to go pick up three kids and let a 12-year-old drive. Claimed she didn't know 12-year-olds couldn't drive vehicles on public roads. And she resisted arrest by kicking and screaming. DJ Envy, Guess What Race It Is. White. vehicles on public roads and she resisted arrest by kicking and screaming dj envy guess what race is white okay okay what makes you say that just everything that you said okay indiana okay okay

okay okay one drink drunk having a 12 year old drive that we don't know where this 12 year old came from yeah yeah nobody asked no question sounds white to me that's, okay. Jess Hilarious, Lindsay Pearson, 26 years old, had one drink allegedly at a sports bar in Indiana. Decided after 1 a.m. to go pick up three kids and let a 12-year-old drive. Claimed she didn't know 12-year-olds couldn't drive vehicles on public roads. Resisted arrest by kicking and screaming.

Guess what race she is? Caucasian. Okay. What makes you say that Jess? Everything that you said Just like DJ Envy said But the kicking and screaming Like she wasn't wrong

When the police came out of nowhere Yes Well DJ Envy, Jess Elias I'd like to tell both of you that You are correct She is Caucasian Would you like to see her picture? Yes, absolutely

What the hell did I do with it? Hold on. Nope, that's Ryan Garcia. I don't know what I did with the picture. But yes, she is white. Well, how does she look? Describe her. Don't say nothing about her back.

How does she look? Slightly big back-ish. Okay. I can only see her face. Okay. But I can tell by the roundness. The roundness, yeah. There's no bone

structure. It's just like a Twitter egg. Remember how the Twitter eggs used to look? She got the little Nikki stuff. That's what I'm saying. She's 26, so she's probably slightly big backish, but her trajectory says by

34, 35, big, big, big. Big, big, big backish. She's Caucasian. She is cry at a Taylor Swift concert white. Okay. Absolutely. She is mad at Beyonce doing country music white. Look at her.

Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Damn. Well, thank you for that donkey today. So please give Lindsay Pearson. Let Kathy Griffin give Lindsay Pearson the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw.

Charlamagne, I just want to inform you. States like Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, North, and South Dakota, you can get your learner's permit at 14. That's still not... I know it's not 12, but I'm just telling you, at 14... It has nothing to do with this story? I know, I'm just letting you know. Because I thought it was kind of weird that a 14-year-old could even drive. But I just wanted to let you know that.

No, you can get your permit at 14? 16. What is it in Jersey? 16. 16. You can get your permit in 16 if you take driver's ed. Nah, my daughter got her permit now.

the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got some special guests with us yes indeed we got the brother ryan johnson and chad ocho single welcome brother i'm glad to be here i'm glad to be here i'm glad to be here Yes, indeed. We got the brother Ryan Johnson and Chad Ocho Cinco. Welcome, brother. What's up, Ocho? I'm glad to be here. I'm glad to be here. I'm glad to be here. Ocho, you're like a cultural icon in a way, man.

You think so? Yeah, from sports to hip-hop. Absolutely. And it's been like this for a while. Yeah, and I never really viewed myself like that. I kind of just enjoy having fun. Regardless of what atmosphere I'm put in, I adapt to my surroundings and just act accordingly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's about it. I don't see it like that, though. I need you and Shannon. Y'all can't be looking at Jess like that, though. Huh? It wasn't him. It was both of them.

It was Shannon. It wasn't him. Yeah, yeah. That's my dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that. I didn't go away. Okay, okay.

I directed it. Listen, I directed it in the right way. Okay, okay, okay. Yes. Because I don't think Shannon understood or knew about my homie

you know got you and so i kind of ain't really indulging it but you know yeah we good yeah he made no disrespect yeah yeah it just felt you know it felt like all right all right cuz like you know he said i was like i understand where you're coming from and i just left it when you left it alone It was left alone See So yeah There you go

So how's it dealing With Shannon Shaw With all the beef That he's getting in right now It seems like he's Arguing with everybody It's coming from everywhere And I told Unc

I said Unc This is what we gotta do We can't set a precedent Every time somebody say something Y'all get to get and apologize We gonna have to make An example out of somebody That's what Jeff told me yesterday

Yeah Yeah See I'm telling you It's one to have to make an example out of somebody. That's what Jeff told me yesterday. Yeah. See, I'm telling you. It's one person. We got to make an example out of somebody because what's going to happen is people are going to see, well, damn,

if he can come at them and just say I'm sorry, then they squash everything. I say, no, that's not going to happen because now you see it's starting to be a trickle effect.

Now everybody got their little jokes. So I'm off papers now. I'm off papers now. I'm off probation. Right, right, right right you know i'd be in the streets i'm like that so my girl got insurance almost if anything happened to me i told i got you i'm gonna be an enforcer you know grizelda had an enforcer escobar had an enforcer for i'm enforcing it's whatever it's up but you got to tell them to a lot of that does come with the

territory i know i know you know i think i think you understand that especially all these years especially playing football dealing with the media dealing with the territory. I know, I know. You know what I'm saying? I think you understand that. Especially all these years, especially playing football, dealing with the media, dealing with the other side. Now, being on the other side with the media, I mean, we do it to the players. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We do it to the players that's playing. It ain't all jokes. I don't think it bothers them because we've been in it so long. I enjoy it. I like the jokes. You look like you enjoy it. Yeah, I want you talking s*** about me.

I love what y'all doing. I love seeing all the athletes that are controlling their own platforms from y'all to Cam to the Pivot to all the smoke. I love it. We need that because you got to understand us as athletes. Remember, the mainstream media controlled how we're perceived on the outside. So ESPN and Fox and all those were able to get out to the masses and try to tell them who we really are. Now we've cut out the middleman and we are the voice yeah we are the voice now and i think it's dope ryan you are the ceo and founder of uh community community media community media tell us about that no for sure

um and again we decided to be out here for sure but um community media we're a media company based in atlanta georgia with the mission to basically amplify black creators black gamers And that's actually how we got to link with Chad almost about a year ago. We were brought into an opportunity to create an experience at the MLS All-Star Game last year that happened in Washington, D.C. But what a lot of people haven't realized is that all the professional sports leagues, the MLS, the NFL and the NBA, they all now have professional gaming leagues attached to their leagues as well. So we were part of the EMLS experience. We got to shoot some content with Chad, and that really started the conversation that ultimately led to him becoming like our first ambassador,

not only for community media, but what we're building across the HBCU Esports League and the HBCU gaming ecosystem as well. So literally for us, we throw live gaming events, live concerts, working with major brand partners like Verizon, Discover, Nike, Hot Pockike hot pockets mountain dew and you're really utilizing these platforms to provide other means of scholarships for young black and brown students nice do you think the hbcu should change the curriculum because a lot of them are real old school and i'm sure they don't have a gaming content where these kids are making millions of dollars and even youtube creators making millions of dollars hundreds of millions so the answer is yes so like up until 2020 this didn't exist in the hbcu ecosystem like it was

brand new so the competition the curriculum development the internship opportunities all that is now being put in place because i'll be real with you like our goal is not to sell like hoop dreams to the black community that yo if you get into gaming you will make a million dollars because that's very few and far in between but you can get a decent job you can have a million dollars because that's very few and far in between. But you can get a decent job. You can have a nice paying job doing something that you love to do. But it's really about first and foremost, educating everybody. Right. So that's why this opportunity for us is so important, because having that microphone

to let people that look like us know that these opportunities exist is step one. Once that becomes a thing, I guess taking a step back to is really, really important to understand that like 30, I think close to 30 out of 50 states in this country also now have varsity high school esports so a few years ago we actually partnered with the new york city department of education and we ran a tournament called the battle of the boroughs in partnership with microsoft which was literally a minecraft tournament to engage kids during covid and like keep them engaged in their high schools and like so for us it's like yo as this ecosystem is being built out at the high school level is being built out of the college level. What we noticed is that there was no black schools in general, there was no inner city schools and

there were no HBCUs taking advantage of this. So it was like, what do we have to build? What do we have to create? Who do we have to tap into to like really build out this ecosystem? So for me, we look at gaming the same way we look at football and basketball. You have high school leagues, you have AAU programs, you have after school programs, you have professional leagues, you have job opportunities and that's the same pipeline that we're building and establishing right now across gaming. Chad, you had dinner with Antonio Piz, the Raiders

coach? Yeah. And you tweeted that you were going to ask for a coaching job? Yeah. Actually, I was going to ask y'all for a job too. I was going to ask y'all. I know y'all have an opening. I know y'all can make some space. It's just got filled. No, no, no, no, no, no. We can add.

We can add. Add another chair. The more, the better. The merrier. But I was in Vegas, Super Bowl. I went and had. It wasn't just me. Obviously, other people were there with Mr. Pierce and having dinner.

And I just tweeted out the picture with him and I. I'm playing around. You know, I'm a jokester about, listen, I finally got offered a job as a Raiders coach. And then Antonio went behind me and said, I can't wait to have you working with our receivers. That's what sparked it. I was really going, I can't coach. Really?

Why not? I have 37 other jobs. I have 37 other jobs right now, and I wouldn't have time. And coaching is really not my thing. But you got a passion for football, though. I have a passion for the game of football and not coaching. I have a passion for playing. If there I wouldn't have time, and coaching is really not my thing. But you got a passion for football, though. I have a passion for the game of football and not coaching. I have a passion for playing.

If there's somebody that want to bring me back, then I'll come and do that. At 46, you would play? I'm 56. Yeah, what I play? You ain't no damn 56. Stop listening to him. He a joker. No.

If you 56 and calling Shannon Unc something wrong. No, I'm just kidding. I mean, you say Unc in general. I was born in 68. What you talking about? Cut it out, man. Oh, my God. So that means y'all ain't do your homework. I did.

We did my homework. You're 46. You born in 1977. I was born in 1968 at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Damn, cut it out. We stopping there. So would you play in the league? Would I?

Yeah. Today? You can't even hit nobody. Yeah, I'd be able to play. You can't hit nobody? Look at the rules. Look at the rules. Look at the rules. Damn near playing flag football.

You think that ruins the game? You know what? The NFL is all about protecting the players. But again, I see they're trying to add an 18th week. Is it really about protection? Or is it about the bottom line at the end of the day? Money. Maybe we know what it is.

Come on now. The players are getting bigger, faster, and stronger, but the dimensions of the field have yet to change. change so if everybody's bigger faster and stronger it's only so much you could do in making the car safe because at some point if you're driving 100 miles an hour you're crashing to a wall regardless of what you do from a technical aspect you're gonna get hurt the car is going to crumble i mean same thing when it comes to football players do you think widening the field would make people safer? It would help. D. Lyman, 350 pounds, running 4.5. What?

I seen that the other day. Yeah, crazy. So why do you drive a Prius? I drive a smart car. That's what I'm saying. It's one of the safest vehicles out there. Very cost efficient. I get 55 miles to the gallon.

I get 55 miles to the gallon and I can park anywhere. People always make fun of my damn car. But no, because you said it's smart. It is smart. That would make it more prone to, if you get in an accident, it'd be something bad. No, no. It's one of the safest. It's been battle tested. Okay. It's been battle tested okay that's why i drive it and obviously

because i'm cheap as hell i've been having i had that since like 2004 wow all right we got more with ocho cinco and ryan johnson when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with ocho cinco and ryan johnson charlamagne was you serious about i think think Dion wanted you at Colorado at one point or that was a rumor? Yeah, no. I asked him to come in there. Right now,

I work for the Buffs as a recruiter. Seriously? Yeah, I'm just recruiting for Prime. Okay. So he sent you out just to talk to the players?

Yeah, he don't have to see me. I do it myself. See, I can't tell when he bullshitting. I wouldn't lie to you. I lied for you before I lied to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you do it but it's not official. It's official because if I'm doing it, I ain't doing to you. I lied for you before I lied to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you do it, but it's not official. It's official because if I'm doing it, I ain't doing it for free. I don't do nothing for free. But he doesn't have to tell you already who you should be looking at already. Bingo. Got you, got you, got you. Over there in Colorado, we're trying to beef up the interior, offensively and defensively, so I know exactly what I'm doing.

Got you. And you made a bet before the Super Bowl that if the Chiefs lost, you would give up eating McDonald's. We know you love McDonald's. Yeah, yeah. I can't believe you ain't never got a deal with McDonald's,'m doing. Got you. And you made a bet before the Super Bowl that if the Chiefs lost, you would give up eating McDonald's. We know you love McDonald's. Yeah, yes. I can't believe you ain't never got a deal with McDonald's, to be honest with you. I own three franchises, so I really can't have a deal. That's right.

You better flex. Thank you. You said you would divorce your wife and give up sex for the rest of the year. Yeah. Were you really ready to give all that up? I mean, I knew the Chiefs were going to win. So that's why I made such an extreme bet. I knew the Chiefs were going to win.

That's why I made such an extreme bet yeah yeah she was pissed but i needed her to understand you know you're married sometimes i go out on a limb i say some things that you're not going to agree with but you know how i feel about you we were good you see who won the game right that's right absolutely yeah i got the script you got i got the script you believe that when people say that the nfl scripted you can't script that you got 11 dudes like no hell no it's impossible will you really think about going 11 dudes. No, hell no. It's impossible. Will you really think about going to the UFL? No, hell no.

How much they pay? I don't know. You said that. You tweeted. You don't even know what you be tweeting. No, I don't. Yes, you tweeted that you were considering playing for the Memphis Showboats. I'd be in a moment.

I'd see something. Yeah. And then I instantly tweet it and I forget about it. But the fact that you mentioned the UFL, I want to know how much they pay. Yeah, I don't even know. Because I'm trying to diversify my portfolio yes in my resume the fact that you won't hire me i mean i thought you were for black people i thought you were for uplifting i'm trying to understand what's the problem well speaking of uplifting you know your uncle shannon he be do you feel like he puts himself in in a lot of these positions himself like for instance like

him jumping out the car two days ago what do you think no what do you think about it it was cool he's promoting his liquor brand okay promoting his congack he was doing a signing he was explaining to people he's on the road he has to to fly here fly there do signings and it's i like it of course people making trying to make jokes up and thenen every goddamn thing he does. And, ooh, my aunt is hurt. He had two hip replacements. That's what I said. That's what I said. That's what I jumped to.

Hall of Famer. He's been beat up. You know, technology wasn't as advanced as it is now. So being able to recover from some of those injuries, it's tough. And he grown. He's tough. You're 55 years old and you got to run this circuit now? Like, you got a whole

new life in media like you're like okay always on the go yeah so there's a microscope microscope on him obviously you bring somebody on you because you're volatile towards everybody else so they're going to be volatile back i think he understands that and you have to welcome that and he's okay with it i welcome it too i want i need people to come at me because I got jokes. Well, you got to do something. Damn. Tell me what to do. You got to do something to put yourself out there. Okay, okay.

I still don't believe he's 56. He's not 56. Nah, he's 46. How are you 56? But one thing I've always liked about him is I do like how frugal you are. I'm cheap. Like, I've learned a lot of ways of just being frugal, watching you over the years. That just started. That just started.

No, it did not. Ocho had some cars. He had Lambos. He had big trucks. That was about 15 years ago. No, no, no. No, it did not. Ocho had some cars. He had Lambos. He had big trucks. That was about 15 years ago. No, no, no, no, no, no. That was 20 years ago. That was 20 years ago.

You got to understand the fruits of my labor, those were not bought with football money. That was from, obviously, I own three what? We got those. Bingo.

So I'm not spending anything I'm using or my hard-earned money on the field to stuff I did off the field. TV shows, endorsements, card signings and then you got to think those cars you just named i only had for three years and got rid of them because i didn't need anymore my name ocho it was it was a it was a little bigger than anything

i could purchase at the time so it made no sense visually visibly you know who i was no matter where i went so what was my buying a goddamn limbo for that's right why am i driving a far that's right you ocho it didn't Ferrari? That's right. You Ocho. It didn't make any sense. Even though outside of the image, you know, when you're young, you know, you're trying to impress the women. The women have already Googled what you're making. So it's no need. Bro, one day me and Pete Davidson, Pete Davidson wanted to go buy Cuban link chains.

And I told him, I said, we don't need to buy real ones because I saw you say that. Yeah. And so we went and got $3,000 gold plated Cuban linka lane ain't nobody asked no questions your neck was green as a month but anybody has no questions yeah yeah i mean listen man it's it's for one it's hard for people to move the way i've moved i've been doing this now past 30 years it's hard because people we caught up in the image and look in a certain way becomes your identity driving a certain certain car becomes part of your identity you know and you people focus on image and look in a certain way because i want to look like i got it i just was a complete opposite and really didn't care what anybody thought you know i wanted to ask you too

man you remember when uh french montana made ocho. How many, you know what, I have a problem. I need to holla at French for my royalties. Yeah, because I ain't getting no royalties. He can't even hit you up and ask you, can he do that?

It's not, I don't think he'd get royalties for saying your name, right? No, I don't know. I don't think so. How many women offered you Ocho Cinco because of that song?

What's that? On my left hand. This was back in the day. That's always so long ago. Yeah, I don't want to. He don't indulge. Yeah, I don't like that. I ain't trying to start no argument the day. That's how it was so long ago. He don't indulge. Yeah, I don't like that. I ain't trying to start no argument. I'm going to have to deal with that when I get home.

That's right. You not. Yeah, I'm saying. But see, I'm trying to send you another marriage. I'm trying to send you somebody else. Like, he not married, too. By the way, all I said was offer. I ain't saying what you did.

I don't move. Because offering, there's always something on the back. There's a catch. You got to think anything on the outside is always an added expense. Yeah. Because there ain't nothing free. Yeah. Even if they're offering.

Mm-hmm. You got to give something to give. I ain't doing that. How'd you feel about the record? It ain't bother me. Yeah. It ain't bother me. Mm-hmm.

You know, we all make mistakes in life. We all do. I picked myself up, dust myself off, put my head forward and kept moving. Mm-hmm. Took responsibility. You got to keep moving. Yeah. That's it.

I ain't look back. I've been fighting. I've been fighting that mountain I fell from's it. And you look back. I've been fighting. I've been fighting that mountain I fell from ever since. Fighting to climb back. We here now. I tell you what, you don't f*** up on parenting. Yo, I love the way you are with your daughter. Yo, me.

Yo. I love this. You got one or two? I have one on the way, and then I have an 11-year-old boy. Yo, man, I love it. I love it. I'm on, I mean, I have 11. You have 11 children?

Damn. Man, stop listening to them. You know I have 11. You have 11 children. Damn. Man, stop listening to them. You know I know 11 kids, man. Because you stop listening to this man already. You got 11 kids, man. This man is an entertainer, man. So you was Nick Cannon before Nick Cannon, okay? I was Nick Cannon before Nick Cannon.

I was future before future. I know, that's right. You know, I've been doing this for a very long time. I'm not sure why I would love when they talk about fathers. I would wish they would let me in there. You should be in there. I should be in there because I also for a very long time. I'm not sure why I would love when they talk about fathers. I wish they would be in there. I should be in there because I also have a lot of kids. And I'm hands on. I'm thankful for those I have kids from.

And they're really what makes this train roll. You know, go. Because most of the time, people that have one, just one, they're going through hell. And it's hard to find success when you don't have kids with the right people yeah it's hard because they can make your life a living hell yeah living here and I'm I do have 11 serious all together I believe nobody gonna lie okay that more about that so would you had three over the last year yeah yeah I'm working I'm working. I'm working. You got no 11 kids, man. I think I got no 11 kids. It says he had eight.

I ain't see no 11, but... Well, I'm married, so then I have to... Those are also my kids as well that are coming. Yeah. So 11. And I'm working on 12 right now. Oh, that's right. Yeah.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ and DJ Salari. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Rian Johnson and Ocho Cinco. Jess? How much diversity in the portfolio do you need? You need 37 jobs. You're 56. You say you got 11 kids. He's not 56, man. I'm choosing to believe him at this point.

How can you still be so active in your kids' lives? It's easy. You got 37 jobs. You got my kids, everybody in college, except two. My daughter runs track at University of Kentucky. My son is at Arizona State. I have an older daughter who's 26. Jakira, hey, baby, I know you're going to see this.

My daughter's at Preview A&M. You know, little ones. And then I have French Fry. French Fry is my little tree roll. Okay. Baby Kennedy, Cha-Cha, her sister. And I need more. Okay. And you want more. Yeah. You want more kids a little tree roll. Okay. Baby Kennedy, Cha-Cha, her sister, and I need more. Okay.

And I need more. You want more? Yeah. You want more kids? I have time. Okay. I have time. Yeah.

I have time because I'm retired. Yeah. So I'm trying to diversify my portfolio. That's why he's trying to get more jobs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was so busy when I was playing, I never got the full experience of what it's like to be a father.

Got it. Oh, wow. I was always gone. Wow. Yeah. So, yeah. You know what? They canceled me one time and I remember this. When your wife had her show and I was like...

It was at your head. I said, I was like, I feel like the network is not showing the sisters sell the houses enough. And then they got mad at me and said I was coming from that. I was like, no, I want to see more of it on TV. They're just showing the beef and the drama and I hate that they show that with black women but when they have the white women show they show all

the houses and I was met now I was mad I was like they should show the sisters that was great oh my right well it's hard for me to set him straight I would need her here I would never hear to be able to explain her side of the story but I understand understand what you mean obviously they were selling houses but one thing if they were just selling houses right how many ads is that going to appease to i get it even even today just in general you got to have some type of drama type of something yeah yeah i mean it's just in general and in all that we do so like even that they don't this we need some type of drama. Somebody just say something. I wonder about that, though.

He said somebody say something. Let me just get this over with. Up until recently, I don't think y'all had a lot of drama on Nightcap. Oh, no. And it's not even really drama. Y'all just addressing. No, we haven't had any drama.

That's because he was on probation. Yeah, I was on papers. Okay. He's off the page now. Yeah. I mean, I think Shannon and I, we play off each other and the chemistry is so goddamn good,

we don't even have to do that. Yeah, people just like hearing y'all talk. Yeah. And then it's to see us in a different space that you never get to see us in and talk the way we are because it's like the barbershop, locker room in a way you've never seen us before. I think that's what is more appealing to the audience as opposed to it being any drama. I think the best thing with all of these platforms is just showing that athletes are not dumb. Because there was always that stereotype of the dumb jock,

especially in football. I think y'all was beyond shattering that. Yeah, most definitely, most definitely. Ryan, end us with some words, man. No, I would say kind of just everything, man. Like, first, being here. Like, everything we're doing across gaming, music, entertainment. Like, talking about being here. Like, everything we're doing across gaming, music, entertainment. Like, talking about upcoming projects.

Like, the next big thing coming up for us, we'll be backstage doing, like, all the gaming and artist interviews at Rolling Loud, California. So, like, we're just trying to continue to find ways to bridge the gap. Make sure that our people have a seat at the table. Make sure that they have the information to make their own informed decisions about what they can do with their own individual life. One thing we always say, like, stick to the plan. Because, like, again, you know, with this yesterday, we we go here we learn about the relationship that y'all got with the saturday folks and the whole nine sort of like you know everything kind of works and builds on each other it builds on itself but like the main message we wanted to share is like again if parents

aunts uncles you have nieces nephews kids that are trying to tap into gaming you're telling them to get off the game we just strongly advise to change the message there's a space space for it. Because there's actually a real space for it right now. I mean, within our league alone, the last two years, HBCU students have earned over $2 million playing in our league. So for us, we have kids that are earning six figures just by being a part of this. And sometimes these are traditional athletes. Like we have one kid at Florida Memorial right now in Miami. He literally plays on the basketball team and he's on their esports and gaming team.

So he's on a scholarship for basketball and he's earning money in this pathway so what's interesting like the hbcu community the gamers are getting more nil than the traditional sports athletes so what games should we be having our kids on then so the games that are mainly in this nba 2k madden call of duty fortnite rocket league mortal kombat um mar like super smash all the games that you know as what literally I was playing coming up. About Minecraft. Minecraft is a big one, too. That's what I was envisioning.

We just did an entire New York City Battle of the Boroughs. We had 125 high schools across all five boroughs going head-to-head in Minecraft. And the kids were, the winner was tasked with whoever built the best New York monument inside of Minecraft. So it was a whole linkage between the gaming, competition, STEM-based education. And that's really, really what we're doing. Because black parents don't realize it. Like, yo, your kids are on the game, but they could be the ones making the game.

Like a big thing right now in Fortnite is this thing called UEFN. So Unreal Engine Fortnite, essentially. It's the same model they brought into gaming that exists right now in music. So as a young black person, you can go in and build a custom level in fortnite you will get paid on the hourly play time that people are playing on your level and they will share 40 of the revenue with all of their creators so like yo i guarantee you someone in this room got someone that's playing fortnite my son absolutely okay well your son and his little friends they could be making llcs they could be little friends yeah they could be they could literally be doing what

they're already doing every day right now and converting that into revenue game companies are then hiring these young people to then come build out experiences on their behalf but again like when we look at this the biggest divide of what we've seen is those who grow up with computers versus those who grow up with consoles so when you look at just demographics, black and Latinx families generally play on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo. When you look at the other side of the coin, it's computer-based games. The reason we've been excluded from this space, the big event that you're talking about, those are PCs. And so how are you supposed to get in?

How are high school kids supposed to get in when the schools themselves can't afford the computer lab to start a gaming team? So a lot of the work that we're doing is working with a verizon to then literally get the money to build the lab to give the scholarship so the kids can then play in the league or not even that wi-fi like wi-fi is so damn important in a lot of these areas they don't have strong wi-fi they'd be lagging the kids we've been playing yes it was crazy it's like and our first major initiative was um back in may. And we literally did a streamathon on Twitch. We had people like Offset. We had Jeezy. Michael Strahan was a big part of that. He raised one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars in 20 hours on Twitch. We took that money and bought devices, mobile hotspots and laptops for kids in Atlanta that were basically could not graduate high school because they didn't have a device because of distance learning. That's crazy. So I was like, that's, so when we looked at like this whole thing

of gaming and technology, like it's really, really not about the kids just playing the game. But what we realized over the years, like, yo, we really got to tap into larger voices that are known within media, known within sports, that also have a very strong passion

to like bring this to their community. And so now we're going about it like a whole different approach. So now like for us, that's kind of like what's coming up that's how we're building this out and we just say like for parents if your kids are interested in something they're doing it every day we now live in a passion economy you can turn your passions into money what if your kid sucks not saying mine do but it's not even about it's not even about it's not even about the

being good or bad right it's about because again like i play games every day i'm not a great gamer but we run a media-based business that's focused on gaming right so again i turned a passion into a profession and what we're saying is like yo how i stay in touch with my family i'm from columbia south carolina like 803 i'm from columbia so like the way i stay in touch with all my cousins is through call of duty so like it's a means of communication for us but i'm not trying to be a professional call of duty gamer but no what i can do is use the information that I have, bring that to a bunch of companies that are trying to touch young people, trying to connect with diverse audiences,

trying to build with HBCUs. I'm like, yo, let's just do this through a whole new league. That's dope. You really diversified your portfolio, Ocho Cinco. I did. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Ryan Johnson, Chad Ocho Cinco. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Positive Note. What we got? The Positive Note is simply this. Nothing that's for you will require you to act out a character to get it. Always remember that. Absolutely nothing.
