You can't ask for you can't ask for a do over and then only do certain parts over because there was nobody else with me, just me and you. You know, you know, I'm not even

gonna front shout to all the teachers out there. We appreciate you, but you can't get these kids homework like this because you and I both know when you give them class work and you give them homework, the parents got to do it. And I don't have no problem. How old one now, you should not be doing your kids homework. I'm not doing the kids homework. I didn't say that. All I'm saying is it's a lot. So you know, I got five kids. I got one in college,

one in high school. There those two on their own. They got to figure it out. But the seven year old, a six year old and the four year old, Yo, this is difficult. So you know, of course they go to a new school. In my nanny, I had my nanny for like six seven years. She went back to her country, Ecuador. Um so you know, me and my wife I had to you know, we're doing everything, everything, everything, everything, cooking, cleaning, everything until we find a new nanny. So I have

to get up extra early, risk people problems. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah it might be, but this is difficult because I ain't used to this, so I had to get it. I have to get up earlier hour early to cook breakfast, so you know, we're on air six. So I'm up at like four forty five cooking breakfast. And then my son till he didn't do his homework. So I was like, all, I will knock it out. No, there is no knocking it out. This is a long homework. We've been doing homework for since four forty five till

just right now when I had to click in. Like, but nobody tells y'all to have five kids. I didn't. I didn't think the school was gonna be like this. I think it was gonna be virtually you know, I can't have my goddaughter. My goddaughter was at my house yesterday and she told me that she's in college now, she's in her second year. She told me that they're giving her like six hours in one class, six hours

of homework. That is that's too much. That is wait like look like this, like look see that you see all this? You see all this? Did you see I had had to help him cut all these things? Or shoot, I just dropped my damnit. But anyway, yeah, I had to have to do all of that. Like this is a lot of work. Like this virtual learning is no joke. We gotta figure it out. I don't know what we have to do. Oh, I understand the kids gotta learn,

but we gotta figure it out. And if you're a parent out there, I probably feel other parents would imagine all the parents without nannies or has to be right, I don't have any that is me. And then get has to drive them to school, which is a thirty minute drive. I want to sympathize, man, But and then my kids, my kids are up there, they get boogie on me. So I try to make them fruit loose. I wonder where they got it from. You're right, I try to Look, we're just gonna make fruit loops and milk.

My daughter was like, I want bacon. I'm like, a dad's not cooking bacon right now. You got fruit loops and milk. I want bacon. Ermo cooks me bacon. I'm like, well, irma, she's not here anymore, So you got to realize that you just got to eat. You have to eat this little this little bar and this PDA show, and we got to go to school. All right, Well that's my problem. I'm sorry, guys. Yeah, well today is the nineteen year

anniversary of when nine to eleven happened too. I just want to also show I respects this morning as well, first and foremost. Yeah, nineteen years where Charlemagne? Does anybody know? No idea? Okay, all right, let's get the show cracking page news. What we're talking about? Well, man, what do you think if you had to guess? What are we talking about this morning? I don't know. I've been doing homework. Are we talking about teachers in homework? What are we

talking about? Well, we are, of course going to talk about Donald Trump, But then I want to talk about this store that is closing. And this has me really upset. I must be Barney's Bloomingdale Sacks with the avenue, Neiman Marcus or Burgdorf, one of those. But we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning this morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club let's getting some

front page news where we starting. Ye. Well, since you I just want to tell you were wrong when you said that. I said I was disappointed about a store closing, and you thought it would be Barney's Bergdorf Sacks. It's actually Century twenty one. Oh that's another one. That was a good one. I used to be able to get all the kids clothes from there for a great price. What's our homegirl used to work there, Heather. I used to get my home close up Heaven from there. Yeah.

I used to be a blessed to be a come up store. Damn. Remember that's where Mby went to go see Heather and buy some white jeans. No, that was Charlemagne that went to buy the white jeans book ahead. Oh, well, they are going to be closing all stores after filing for bankruptcy. So I was really upset about that. I was just in Century twenty one last weekend, So who knew. I mean a lot of stores were close him because of this COVID thing, and and the people, I mean

the government got to bail him out. Like these stores are closed, and these stores have been around for years, you know, decades, and you know people can't get out and shop. People don't have money. You got to help people out. I know, man, that's tough. All right. Now, let's flash back to the audio that we played yesterday. This was Donald Trump at a press conference talking about the comments that he made to Bob Woodward when he was being interviewed eighteen times. He got interviewed for this

book and it's called Raid. It comes out on Tuesday, and here he is saying that he did downplay coronavirus. I wanted to always play it down, like playing it down, yes, because I don't want to create a panic. You know, it's a very tricky situation. It goes through air, Bob. That's always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch you don't have to touch things, right, but the air. You just breathe the air, and that's how it's past. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very

delicate one. It's also more deadly than your strenuous flues. Yeah, I downplay that, like I still don't get it. Like you tell people the truth that they can prepare, you don't lie for them, and they don't know what's going on, and they get sick and die. You tell them the truth. Did you say he was lying, because yesterday he denied that. Why did you mind the American people? And why should we trust what you have to say now? A terrible question and the phraseology. I didn't lie. What I said

is we have to become we can't be panicked. Said the flu. And you went out and pulled the American public that this was just like the flu. What I went out and said it was very simple. Listen, I want to show a level of confidence. There was no lie here. You have to remember I put the ban on China so obviously outwardly, I said it's a very serious problem. That doesn't mean I'm gonna jump up and down in the air and start saying people are gonna die. Yeah,

he's a lie. He's a politician. He just says what he wants. He says what he says what he can remember. I'm starting to think that some of these guys are so old they don't even remember what they say. That he played it for you. That's crazy, all right now. He also tweeted out, Bobo would have my quotes for months if he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why didn't he immediately report them in an effort to save lives. Didn't he have an obligation to do so? No,

because he knew they were good and proper answers. Calm, no panic. How was he going to save lives? Because he admitted downplaying it after he downplayed it, so it's kind of over now. Another audio clip that they played was him denying white privilege. Do you have any sense that privilege has isolated and put you in the cave

to a certain extent? Is it put me? And I think lots of white privileged people in the cave, and that we have to work our way out of it to understand the anger and the pain, particularly black people feel in this country. You you split it to you, Well, no, I don't feel that at all. Charge Yes, I am one has played that. We just played the Donald Trump

saying that you drank the kool aid. All right, and the next hour we'll get back into all of that, and we'll also talk about football, because football is back and that is your front Pays news. All right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five, one h five one. If you're upset, you need to vent hit us up right now. You know why I'm mad? Teach us. I love you and I appreciate the job that you're doing, but you're sending home too much homework.

Like it's a lot of school work and homework and especially with virtually learning. I've been doing it all morning long. I've been up since about four forty five, four thirty doing homework and this is crazy. All right, it's only been two days. I ain't seen either one of my daughters bring no homework. Yeah, well, my kids need to go to that school because they've been having homework. My member. My kids started last week. But this is a lot. By this is a lot, like a lot, a lot.

But anyway, get it off your chest. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Yea, this is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man black than from you on the Breakfast Club. But you got something on your mind. Let hello, who's this? This is trummy tress from Jamaica. Queens living in Joshonsville, Florida. Hey queens, get the money. What's going on? Brother? Get it off your chest? Not much, I want to say, I'm black,

blessing the Holly favorite. All there you go. All my people's only kids have all my people who want to give him a shout to a special lady in the Bronx. Her name is Marie. I hope a wonderful and blessed they at work. That's nice. Hello, who's this from Miami? Shout out real Clod. What's up Miami? I miss Miami. Yeah, but I mean you Propaul saw these videos on Trump about him just being honest his true racist self, but you still have his mindless zombies that's gonna follow him.

That's a fact. I feel like that's part of white pavileage too, because when you do try to talk to him, they act like they don't know, you know, what's going And they're not all white. There's some black people too that are in denying. Oh yes, there are some lost black people. I had a word for them, but I do not want to say that on the radio. But you know they live in the house. Okay, But are you saying their house negros who guess what he's saying? Yes, yes, And as I live in Miami, so you have a

lot of confused Hispanics out here. Yeah, they look white. They feel like they all white. You know, a board office like stupid. Don't say that, but The thing is. The thing is done for all my back lives, a lot of people, all these people that are fighting for justice. I need all you guys to go to the poll You all need to go. Everybody got to huts. By the way, happen again. Yeah, what you're saying is true. That's the only way you're gonna beat this person, because

you can't shame the shameless. And it's funny to me how the media continuously tries to shame the shameless that you can't shame Donald Trump. It don't even matter. You can play all those clips and do whatever you want, you can't shame the shameless. You gotta go to the polls if you want this guy out. Just remember he said that he could go out to Time Square and shoot somebody and nobody would do anything. And that's he's been doing his whole presidency, shooting us in the face

and nobody said a word. Well, I was in Times Square yesterday. I think he could definitely get away with that. Now. Time Square is a mess. We get it off your yes, eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent hit us up. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast club. Your time to get it off your chest.

But I am a Giants fan. Everybody knows I'm a Giants fan. And be trying to distance himself from this guy because he was in on the scheme and be like, please don't tell on me. So Josh Bellamy has been charged for his role in a twenty four million dollar pandemic loan scheme. Those PPP loans, baby.

So according to the complaint, they're saying that the scheme involved at least a ninety fraudulent applications for PPP, most of which were submitted were worth more than everything was worth more than twenty four million dollars, and a lot of those got approved and funded, so they paid out at least seventeen point four million. And they said he has his own company, Drip Entertainment LLC, where he got

a loan for one point two four million dollars. And he also purchased more than a hundred thousand dollars in luxury goods. He got some to yours, some gucci, He spent some money at the Hard Rock Hoteling casino, and he withdrew over three hundred thousand dollars. Well, he won't be the only one going to jail for those PPP loans. Trust me. It's a bunch of y'all right now sitting around thinking you got a blesser from God. But y'all

forgot the devil God a kingdom too. And I promise you, just like most drug dealers, you better live it up now, ball because you are about to fall. And also, if you're gonna get that type of money, at least buy something that might appreciate with value. No, God damn, don't do that either, because you can flip. I heard somebody saying you can't buy the house and buy real estate. You cannot buy real estate. I heard TI says that yesterday. All right, I'm telling you guys, you can estate. Yesterday

TA said something about buying property. You cannot buy property. Okay, read the guidelines please, because you will get arrested. Yes, for your business, it's smoke me. For your business.

I'm telling if that's your business and you got a PPP loan for that particular business, then yes, Yess can't be as hard as to get as some people make him out to be, because damn, I everybody complained about not being able to get loans. But I can't tell bro they getting millions like not even like okay, there's one hundred thousand, od they get seventeen million. This business wasn't even active. Are they checking? Goodness? Crazy? All right? Now, the NBA is

supposedly investigating a Rockets. Rockets player Daniel House Junior. They said he led a female COVID nineteen testing official into his hotel room inside of the bubble. So he's the NBA players, as you know, they've been isolated in a bubble of coronavirus. I didn't see the problem of that. She is in the bubble. She's testing everybody, right, so she's throwing the bubble. He stayed by by by the cardlines. There's there's no safe for there's no woman safe for

to sleep with in a situation like that. Then the woman that does the coronavirus testing. I just want to throw that out there. Yeah, I don't know, so you can't hook up with anybody in the bubble. I don't know in the bubble. I don't see what the problems. Yeah, she got tested. She's there every day. When you get that one. When you get in trouble in the bubble to people say your bubble got burst, shme on, give me a little rim shot? What what? What do you want to rim What? What is a shot? Oh god?

Oh wow, you kinky boy. You sounds like some trouble in your bubble that she wants, all right. Tim Murray says that she will never forget being denied a magazine cover, and this was at a time when their show Sister Sister was better in the ratings than Friends. Listen to what she said. It was around Sister sister days, and the show was extremely popular. We were beating like in

the ratings. Friends. So my sister and I we wanted to be on the cover of this very popular magazine at the time, and it was a teenage magazine, and we were told that we couldn't be on the cover of the magazine because we were black and we would not sell. Ye. I don't know. She didn't say the year, but you know, I guess you have to think about the time frame, h I think about that. The black people don't sell. If they're on the cover of a magazine,

the magazine won't sell. And they tell you that's the reason. That was a lot of people's mind frame. I mean, even with movies, they would, uh, they wouldn't put black people in blackbuster movies because they said black people didn't sell internationally. Not all that, but and that's why Kevin Hurt says he'll only do a movie if it's going to be internationally released. That's a fact. All right. Well, I'm age la Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now we got from

Page News coming up. What we're talking about. Yeah, since we just talked about sports, let's talk about sports. We'll give you some updates, and then we'll talk about football because football returned last night. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping lockedice to Breakfast Club. Good morning, so Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela yee. With the General insurance. Accidents violations, no prior insurance, even miss a few payments, don't worry. The

Yes, small brock, good morning. Be joining us in a little bit. But morning everybody of the greatest show of all time Girlfriends will be here. You should put some rect on our car. Damn name Envy ends because she has to finish. Yes, watch on Netflix now. Girlfriends is on Netflix right now,

eight seasons right yeah, shows your dvd? Show your dvd? Do you want to show here? Got the right there? Hold on now you walk around on the like my daughter walks down like blankie. So I can get rid of all of these. This is the complete season, not even open. Okay, keeps that fresh. He's just all these are the rest of the seasons. You know what I'm saying, Girlfriends one of the greatest shows of all time. A hermy m. Yes. All right, well, let's get in some

front page news. But we're starting easy. Well, since the gang's all here, let's talk about NBA scores from last night. The Lakers beat the Rockets one ten to one hundred. The Nuggets versus the Clippers is today, so that is gonna be Game five and the Clippers are leading that three one. Yeah. And last night football came back. The Chiefs beat to Texans thirty four to twenty. Yeah. It's been going on on that football field, by the way. I turned that game on last night and everybody's standing

close to each other on the sidelines. It wasn't really a lot of people in the stands, but ain't no social justn going on in the NFL game. But didn't they all get tested? Yeah, they all get tested. But you know the fans it end, and you know that I'd like to see the fans day, even though the stadium wasn'tpacted. Just good to see the fans, Dad, I'm sharing. It's pretty dope. If all them football players and all

of them coaches got tested and they all negative. Corona ain't real, bro, So gonna throw that out there, ain't no way all right. And tonight the Celtics versus the Raptors in that series is tied three to three, so it's game seven. Yeah, that's that's that's gonna be a great game, all right. So what happened with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans. Well, during the national Anthem, the Texans opted to stay in the locker room and

the Chiefs did link arms for the national anthem. Chloe and Halley performed the rendition of the national anthem, and they honor George Floyd and Brianna Taylor on their shirts. Also, um Miami. When they're going to be playing, they actually released this video about ending police brutality and justice. Listen to this. If we could just right our wrongs, we would need two songs. We don't need another publicity parade, so we'll just stay inside until it's time to play

the game. Whatever happened to the funds that were promised, all of a sudden we got to collapse pocket the bottom line should not be in that profit. We need

owners with influence and pockets bigger than ours. To call up officials inflix political power, when education is not determined by where we reside, and we have the means to purchase what the doctor prescribed, and you fight for prison reform and innocent lives, and you repair the communities that were tossed to the side, and you admit your gain from it, and you swallow your part. And when, of course, don't punish skin color, but punish the crime. Until then,

we'll just skip the long production and stay inside. Yeah. I love the message of that, but the bars will kind of weak, say one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, like shut up, hey, stop it. They kept its simple and their message basically that you know, like they said when they play, they are going to stay inside for the national anthems. Why they have to, I'm though they had not the rhyme. I don't know who

wrote that. You know, anybody wants to be a rapper, come on christ all right, And just so you know, the Brianna Taylor case is set to go before the grand jury. So they are going to present evidence from the fatal police shooting where they kill Brianna Taylor to a grand jury as early as next week. According to sources familiar with it. Actually saw my son yesterday and he was I ran into him and he was telling me that it's gonna be interesting to see what happens

next week. So we are praying that their family, Brianna Taylor's family, does get some type of justice. Drop on the clues bombs for um the good Brother, my son, and Untell Freedom. I'm I love what they've been doing in Kentucky. They've they've been out there for like weeks, you know, trying to get justice for Brianna Taylor. But I don't have no faith in this system. I'm just I just don't hate to be the pessiments here, but I don't have no faith in this system at all.

Why Why would I have faith in this wicked, corrupt ass system. I hope, but I hope. I'm pleasantly surprised, though, but I don't see it. Not with that Attorney general. He loves Trump too much. And again, let me remind you all, today is nine eleven. It's been nineteen years since nine eleven happened. So again, I always want to make sure that throughout today we are thinking about those people who lost their lives and the families who have

suffered the firefighters. Everybody who yes nine eleven so nineteen years ago. Yeah, I gotta check out. You know that reminds me. I gotta check on a check on a friend. I have a friend who gets veried down and depressed around this time of year because he lost his father in nine eleven. So hit him up. All right, well that is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, tell him who's gonna be joining us, Charlemagne, because you're so excited. I

I hope you don't hope for you. I am actually a woman, but you know, I am actually a black woman. So there's a lot of themes and

topics I can relate to. But I know, char at me, I feel like I can't even compete, So you know I am in this though. Okay, good good And for girlfriends, since you guys are gonna put all the seasons on Netflix this weekend, we're actually the next episode of my podcast very dedicating to some of the topics some girlfriends, like what would you do if your man was wearing

a girdle waste chainer? Because Envy wears waste chainers. I know he's not here right now, but we actually have he did get a waste chainer at one point and then start bike riding with it on, and that's how he managed to lose a lot of weight. It works, I mean, you know, and it's funny. It's funny how you know with women, you know, girdles. I mean, that's what we were calling it in the episode. I believe you know, it has such a shame around it for women,

you know what I'm saying. But you know, to your point now that it's a it's a it's a waste trainer, and you could be out in the public, you put it around your t shirt, ride your bike and everybody's like, oh, that's cool. You know, it's like no, like no, I'm want to get some dirt though, because you want and that you had the movie written already. So now that you have this deal in Netflix, is there talks in

bringing that movie? This is exciting because my Netflix deal was you know, the mothership of Netflix is so big. My deal for an overall deal was happening on this side of the mothership and strong Black lead getting these nineties sitcoms. Let's just give it up for strong black lead. I mean for them to say, we are going to get our culture and we want to put it on. We're gonna put it on the biggest streamer out there so we could all enjoy this fantastic So in terms

of a movie, I'm open. I told you guys this before when I was on the show. I'm open. I'm here, and everybody knows it's there. They got the algorithms, they got the analytics. If they wanted, they got me. I'm right there. But I also have to I just at this amazing new deal. I'm so excited. I got some other stuff to write. I got other things to do. And so when they're ready, they'll knock on my door or they'll pick up the phone, and I'll be there.

You know what, I wanted to ask you about Tyler Perry right, and he said that you know that as far as doing his shows, that he writes everything himself. He wrote the whole season himself. What are your thoughts on that and do you think that as a creative yourself, have you ever written like a whole series on your own? Do you think that collaboration is more important. I just want to know how you work personally. I believe in

one vision, many voices. That's how I've always worked. I think it's part of my job as the creator, as the showrunner, is to be able to articulate this is what this is about. Then my biggest job Angel really is to be a good listener, to hear the best ideas for the greater good of the of the show. I remember when you guys, maybe remember the four episode arc that we did Kimberly Elise Yes. I took that to the writer's room. They were like what I remember.

Kenyan Barris was one of the first ones like, guys, this is a comedy and I'm like, uh yeah, and we're going to figure this out because this is what's real, and this is what's happening. Yet we are surviving it, yet we are dealing with it. How can we be a part? How do we give back to the culture. How do we take ownership of a story that is

hurting black women? The numbers that I think still now to check them as of today, but back then, the numbers were hurting black women the most, and I believe that statistics still stands, and so, oh no, We're gonna take care of black women we're gonna bring this to We're gonna bring this to Bear and yeah, we're gonna figure out how to be funny. So we found fun

ways to talk about very tough subjects. Because even when we did the Wigger episode, you know, I'm saying that betrayal, you know, just we were just but knowing that's what

we were doing. I'm proud of that. I'm very happy that we were really, you know, able to go there and not just keep the comedy just but I'm bum or was there every time the network shot down an episode because they felt like it would be too racy or they were like, I don't know if we can adjust this, because we've seen other series where people are like, oh, this episode never came out. We sell black Ish. They

put out an episode that never came out previously. Was there ever a topic that they were kind of scared to touch? This is a fun one, Angela, UM, I'm very proud of this one in a lot of ways.

So give me two seconds. Black women sexuality, So I came into wanting to write girlfriends and at the time, most black women characters on TV, and we are also talking about music video, so music videos were huge at this time, and so the idea about black women sexuality was you're a whole, you're a grouping, you're more in that category. Or on television because they were writing our interior lives, you'm saying so that you didn't have a

personal life. You were just the judge or the asexual judge, the person you don't know who they were sleeping with. So it's like there's this vast void between asexual judge and the you know, the black the black woman. Yeah. Thanks. So I come into the series with that on my mind, that our sexuality is not going to be demonized and it is going and we need to shift. And we had a lot of shame around that. No, we are

sexual beings and that doesn't make us a hope. So there was a joke run that we did, but I actually won this fight, and but it was a joke run where the girlfriends were talking about what they wanted and it was all in great joke, right, It wasn't direct, but it was like what they wanted for pleasure, and it was all And so those jokes got flagged in in the script, and funny enough, I knew they were

gonna get flagged and you might remember this. There's another joke in the same script where the William character talks about his blue boss and they howl during the run through about this joke. It was so funny, it was so funny, but they didn't say anything about it. So now I'm in the note session and they're like, nope, give rid of this, Give rid of this, give rid of this. And I had that sucker in my back pocket. I was like, Okay. First I argued it just like

I said, Hey, this is their empowerment. And when when women are empowered by their own sexuality, by their choice, they will be responsible. They will show up, they will buy the condoms. They're not gonna wait for a man. They will take care of themselves when they own their sexual choice, sex positive, right, And then they were like hmm yeah, yeah, yeah, no to take it out. And then I was like, okay, well then when we're taking

out blue too. So when basically I said, so basically, what you're telling me this is like, this is all a note session with executives. So what you're telling me is so jokes about sex when it's for the pleasure of men, They're okay. But when women want to have their own choice of pleasure. Then that's not okay. In two thousand whatever it was and they turned red and they were mad, and then it was like so then it got to agents, you say, still we were still

talking about it. It was more like fine, you won, and it was more like that, and I was like, thank you, all right, we have more with Maura brock o'kill when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Maura brock o'kill. Now, Charlomagne, you know, Maura,

you don't. You don't get the credit you deserve for not just being a creative but for literally vibing network studio work like you did it with girlfriends on upn Game, for CW, being Mary Jane with BT. Is there rewards for that that gets you like green lights in Hollywood forever? What? Well? It gives me a good Netflix deal. I finally got there, But you know I will be I thank you for

a saying that. I'm very proud of it, and you know, you know I want to be I want that to be known I want people to see that because that took a lot of work, and I'm proud of that. It also launched a lot of careers by holding by holding the door open, not only launching the door, but holding the door opened people. A lot of people got a chance to develop, which is another It's one of

the biggest assets. It's time and experience so that we can develop voices that can carry on the baton and you know, you can have the insecures of the world. So the rewards are in that. The rewards are in seeing that we were able to do it and we sustain it and the careers we were able to build, and to be honest, Charlemagne at take a lot of

pride book me and Salim do. We take a lot of pride on the many jobs, the job creation that we were able to do, for people to put roofs over their head, to send kids to college, to all of those things are in this moment for me. So that would be the validation that I you know, there are times when I feel sorry for myself when I'm ego tripping and I want some hardware. Maybe I want somebody to call my name. I want somebody to be celebrated in the way of an Emmy or things of

that nature. Those are still goals of mine. But God has a plan and I'm hoping that um and I'm still in the game, so I'll get there. It's gonna be interesting because I have a feeling girlfriends who's gonna break a lot of records on Netflix as far as viewing, Yes, I like when you talk like that, so I really do. So it's just gonna be interesting to see how people you know, just just come back around to you for you are a validation to something a fight that I said.

I said, black men are going to show up for this show. They were like because there were times when they wanted the guys to be a little sillier on the show, like the you know, sort of taking pot shots more at man. So, no, this is not gonna be a male bashing show. And I think a lot of black men were worried it was going to be because I always said that the women are as, they're gonna be as great as the men are great. We

have to make great challenges for them. So anyway, that was one of my theories, and the fact that you're a big fan and your your girlfriend now your wife said, sit down and watch it. What made you stay? Why? What are some of your favorite episodes? What did you

see that made you girlfriend's number one fan? I think, I think, I think because it was very relatable, because it seemed like at the time, it seemed like now you know what I mean, like they weren't corny, you know, like you would hear like the hip hop lingo and the hip hop conversation. And for me at the time, that that cut through what was on was on TV at the time. And then it was the depictions of

the women, of course because you learned so much. But the brothers, William, because William was somebody who people might consider corny, but he wasn't. He had a great job, He had a lot of women, beautiful women that he wasn't keep You sure, I mean Mona Charles Brooks. Yeah. And then like Darnell was like the working class black man who was really trying to do right by his family. And you know, I just I don't know, this is

just relatable on so many different levels. Oh, thank you to William was my ode to you know, a lot of black women were saying, they're no good black man, dad, And I was like, we are we have to take ownership for a lot of the brothers. We are overlooking just like you were saying, oh, you don't get enough credit. I don't think the brothers get enough credit for the good fathers that they are, the good you know, the good boyfriends and husbands that they are. You know, I

don't think that we talk about that enough. And we keep promoting one narrative all the time. And so you know the dog you know that was, you know, and so yeah, we've run into dogs. You say, we were gonna have some of those. But there's a lot of good brothers and we just don't talk about them, you know. Kelsey Kelsey Grandma. He was the epo girlfriends and that girlfriend got made at a time when I would assume it was harder to get a black show like that made.

So how was he, as a white man, a good partner? What was what was the benefit? And it's and he was real simple. So he was huge. He was like keeping the lights on at Paramount. So meaning like if Paramount had had any sort of losses, Frazier was the one it was. It was writing big checks. I mean, I'm saying it was holding it down. So I met him at that stage in his career, right, he had a deal, um like he would and he didn't have

any shows that year. He didn't he didn't sell anything, and I was we were kind of on the lake. My development was backwards. In fact, Upn came to me and said, Morrow, we would love a companion piece for the Parkers. I know, Moitia Parkers were already paired, but they were having success with the Parkers. They thought they were maybe gonna switch nights and they wanted a companion piece. So what would you do? And I basically pitched them girlfriends.

But I didn't have a studio. It doesn't typically happen that way. Typically you have a studio partner and then you and the studio partner go pitch to the network. I had a network, but had no studio, and Kelsey at the time had nothing. He hadn't sold anything in the marketplace, and so he still had money on the books, meaning you know, a studio. If Kelsey wants to do something, he could be like, hey, I found something, let's get this in and and this is what I love about Kelsey.

He was very he was like it's already sold. Yeah, I like that it's like I don't have to do anything. And then it was so I really do appreciate the fact that he said yes. He could have said no, He could have just said, hey, I'll sit out this year, but he didn't. And that's how and so because he said yes, and if that's all Kelsey ever did, I am so thankful for that. Yes, what I'm saying, because to come through, you know, to you know, and that

was even funny Kelsey Grammar. This, They got people's attention to Kelsey Grammar about black women. What is this? So just sort of kept following them, the rolling rocks, so to speak. And it was a blessing. And to quote what he said about you just now he was talking about he was asked about girlfriends, and he talked about how the show was going to go on stretch like people were going on strake, all kinds of issues, and he said, um, he thought it deserved the proper send off.

And he talked about Tracy Ellis to us being on blacks and then he said, Girlfriend's movie would be fun, but you would have to get mar Black. I killed her write it, and I'm not sure she's available right now working on other projects that was really nice to hear I heard I heard that same quote and it was really um it was beautiful to see. You know what I'm saying, after all this time, that people can have what does that quote? You guys can help me

with us. People may not know what you did, but the money make you feel and so it's nice to have that a good feeling, I'm saying after all this time, and so I'm excited about that. I just feel like it's such a no brainer. I mean, I would assume Kelsey would have to be involved if y'all did a miniseries, radar, a movie or something. But it's like, now you got Kenya Barrett, who was a writer on Girl Friends, who's huge in Hollywood, Tracy Ross, yourself, you and Kenya at Netflix.

I feel like it's a no brainer to do. You and Kenya in a room. Should be able to make that happen in two seconds. Yeah, they didn't bring it up yet, Nobody brought it up, brought it up yet. I just got my again. I just got there. I just got I just got there. Let's see what they're doing. I'm there to I am there to build new content, and I'm excited about that. I gotta do that, but like it should be a no brainer, Charlie Mayne, it should be a no think to Dale in January with Fox,

So you have both of those. How does that work? We're working that out. No, no, actually I do. I'm waiting to hear even about that project. I had so much fun. I will say, you're asked my my writing process. I did. I did write the pilots for that Fox series. And so it's in a holding pattern like a lot of Hollywood is in a holding pattern. I mean, COVID has the pandemic, it has has a ripple effect through as a bottleneck of a lot happening. So I'm in that.

I'm on tarmac and seeing what will happen with that. But my focus right now is that Netflix to build something new so that that could very much happen. So we'll see. I am excited for this weekend. We'll be watching Girlfriends. Everybody will be watching. If you haven't seen it, then you got to start from season one. But for everybody that is a huge Girlfriend's fan, and there's so many of us, I know we'll all be revisiting this and getting at trending and making sure that we're continuing

that conversation. So congratulations on the deal. Thank you, thank you. You know, everybody makes it an event to watch girlfriends this weekend, like I am in my house. You know, I hope you like they have watch parties and you know, oh yea, I'm having one too. I'm gonna have a little I call it my IG precent. I'm gonna do that, and I think, you know, it would be fun to see who shows up for that. At five, I'm gonna go on IG live a strong black lead. I'm so

thankful to them. And then um, at six, I'm gonna live tweet the first two episodes. So um, I'll put it out on my grandm. I'm a little behind on my posting, but I'm gonna put put it out there. Spread the word. It's pol your business. You show up. You guys show up, coming all at me. Why not we pull up mar Thank you very much. You have a great weekend. You Hey, thank you, guys, really appreciate you. Thank you you. Stay well, stay healthy. This is the

Ruble Report with Angela. Ye all right, so I was telling y'all about this fresh Prince of bel Air reunion that's gonna be happening on HBO Max. And it was thirty years since the Fresh Prince of bel Air debut. Is that crazy? Thirty years the old all right? So something that we did not think we would see anytime soon is their original Aunt Viv and Will Smith. So they posted a picture together. Janet Hubert is her name in real life, and that's their first time sitting down

on camera together in twenty seventy years. Okay, I'm here for that. I might have to get HBO Max. I don't think I have HBO Max. I need to eat it because the Bone Docks is on HBO Max as well. I need to get that. But I would watch that special. Yeah, so I cannot wait. But you know, Janet Hubert wrote about her relationship with Will Smith and how things just went left in her book Perfection Is Not a Sitcom Mom. She also says that she was demonized after her departure.

She played Aunt Viv in the first three seasons and she left in nineteen ninety three. And to say the dogs on because that's what people say. Um, I mean, she is darker than the other one, and so I guess that's you know, maybe you could say the original the original there you go, the original like original. I like that better. And since we're talking about colorism, let's talk about Tyrese. Al right, Tyrese is on Uncensored on TV one. That's gonna air on Sunday. I know y'all

will be watching. Are you guys on it? No? M all right? Well, he talked about his own experiences with colorism. Listen to this. I had never felt a piece of handsome. I have never heard compliments throughout my childhood. I called every joke in the dark skinned community. Ever. I was black, burnt tarp, I was blurble, black and purple. I just never felt attractive. Ever, Well, I think he should call Envy more. You know, Envy will absolutely tell him how

handsome me is. Envy loves dark chocolate. And furthermore, what if you put that out there and people just shrug because they don't really find you handsome? You ever thought about that? You can't forced folks to call you handsome. Sometimes you just got to accept the fact that. But you know, sometimes you want to tell people things to boost their confidence. Like you know, if if if Tyrese called me and I know he was hurting, he was down, Yeah,

I would say bro, you're handsome, just like you. I said to you all the time because I know you don't feel that way, and I know it hurts your feelings so much, So I don't know. I don't, I don't. I do feel handsome. I feel amazingly fine. Okay, sorry, all right. First of all, I'm too fast, too fine. That would be the name of my movie too, anyway,

I said, that's what. That's pretty him for that though, guys, because growing up it has to be hurtful to be hearing people say those things about you, and that's how people end up having issues with the color of their skin. When you're young and you get teased about it for real, I mean, it's it sounds like you're fishing for compliments a little bit. No, no, I'm if that's just an experience. I'm not going to tell somebody that's not what their experiences.

But Tyres is a handsome man. So so while we don't feel sorry for all the slant the tyre he's catching out, he's kid way more slammed than his adult life. I'm sure. Well, I feel bad for him as a kid. As an adult, you know, he doesn't get standing for us. Look still, he don'tunderstand it for us. Look, because you don't understand it because his looks are you crazy? Pull up at me when he's crying, saying what more do you want from me? Yeah, but that's because he's luck.

It's not about his lucks. And I will say Tyre could be more. Tyrese handles hit very well. So it does right now, all it could be more than one dull skin brother. Bo ahead, bro, I'm just telling you that you ain't got be He wear those boots he did the interview with Big Boy right, and boots are crazy. No, those weren't boots though, the hard bottom shoes with their das tra Yeah it was, he said, he said, he said. I felt sorry for him when he was a kid,

but as an adult he deserves it. I like the fact that he has a good sense of human still through it all. So I can tell you too much, too much. He didn't call himself a couple days and we didn't post that song with selo. Oh man, you might get we got a problem. Uh, that's y'all group text. All right. Now, let's talk about a new show that's coming now. You guys know, I like the Real Housewives. I love the Real Housewives of Potomac. I don't know if y'all have been watching this season, but it is

a pretty damn good season. And shout out to my girl Leah. She's on the Real Housewives of New York. Well, there's our Real Housewives a Salt Lake City that is premiering on Bravo November eleventh. And let me just play you' all this trailer, and then I'm gonna break something down for you. I am a pure fred Pioneer Mormon. Heck, I'm Jewish and from Chicago. I'm actually Pentecostal. We are Jewish inheritage, Mormon by choice. Oh Lord, have mercy. It is a very big deal that I'm no longer Mormon.

I was raised Mormon, but I'm converting to Islam. Also, I'm a Lakam. Bitches, there's a lot of misrepresentations of whose friends were killing the search. Don't wait just us you think your recent keeps me at being stader. I don't judge you. I don't care enough to judge you. All right, everybody is interested in one character, and that is Mary Crosby. The problem is this, Okay, she allegedly married her late grandmother's husband, Robert C. Cosby, and that's

how she grandmother's husband. So he must have been filthy rich, yes, and that's how she inherited multiple successful family businesses. So according to reports, her grandma grandmother to grandma's husband. Yes, that was her grandmother's second husband. I'm assumed a lot older. But let's see, her grandmother um passed away at the age of sixty five in nineteen ninety seven, and at the time of her death, her estate included a restaurant,

a daycare, a radio station, and other businesses. And so Mary Cosby then married her late grandmother's husband, Robert in nineteen ninety eight, right after her grandmother died. They've been married for twenty years. They have a teenage son together. But there's also some family issues because there's allegations that Robert Cosby had something to do with the death of his ex wife. So she married her grandmother's husband. How

how many years are they apart? This is crazy And they've been married for twenty years, So how old is she know? She gotta be forty, he gotta be eighty or something like that, right, So anyway, that premier is on Bravo November eleven. It already and if you listen to that trailer, it alroady sounds interesting. I think we might be looking at this the wrong way. How do you know she didn't leave that husband for her granddaughter

and her will? How do we know? I don't know about that, but it's crazy because they got married a year after her grandmother died. He might have been in the will, and then people are accusing him, so we shall see. All right, well let me, I'm saying, and he's probably feel thy rich. So they're just keeping the money in the family. No, but you'll marry you Grant. It's that's that's like your grandfather brods. It depends what his bank account looks like, how much money he got. Yee,

you are a bird. I I just told you all the businesses that he actually yeah, I mean a restaurunt, a daycare, a radio station and other businesses as well. So he got it, all right, I mean, Angela again, that's your room of report. All right, thank you, miss see Charlemagne? Who giving that donkey too? I need Skip Baillis to come to the front of the congregation. I'd like to have a world with him, please, Okay, all right, we'll get into that next keeping lock this to Breakfast Club.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Your morning's will never be the same. The Travis Scott meal just dropped at McDonald's featuring the juicy quarter pound of burgle with lettuce, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, and bacon, all with medium fries and a drink for just six bucks. Don't forget the barbecue sauce. Pricing participations may bury its time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Dunky of the day a little bit of a mix like a dope the other day.

Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three years that donkey of the day is a new wife. Donkey of to Day for Friday, September eleventh goes to the infamous Skip Bayless. You remember Skip Bayliss, who used to be on First Take. Now he's on Fox Sports with Shannon Sharp. Now, Skip Baillis is a sports critic, not a sports analyst, not a sports pundit. He's a sports critic. He may say otherwise, but all I do is hear him critique other players. Not a lot of

analysts talk at all. Just a lot of critique, which is fine. I love a great critic. Some would say I'm one myself, but like most critics, eventually they say something that pisses people off. It's a thin line between critiquing and being offensive, and Skip Bayless is a habitual line. Okay, he goes over that line quite often, and he overstepped the line yesterday when he had an opinion about Dallas Cowboy quarterback Dak Prescott discussing his struggles with depression and anxiety.

Let's hate what the good brother Dak Prescott had to say all throughout this this quarantine, in this offseason, I started experience and emotions I've never felt before, anxiety for the main one. And then honestly, a couple of days before my brother passed, I would say I started experiencing depression.

Didn't know necessarily what I was going through, to say the least, and hadn't been sleeping at all, but for one reason, one night I sleep the best off slap missing probably ten plus calls from from Tad and give him my dad enough time to come into my bedroom and tell me what had happened. And so I woke up probably the best night of sleep I've ever had in twenty twenty from the worst news. As much as you want to ask why, as much as this, I mean, I knew my brother and as we said, he had

a lot of burdens on him. He had a lot of tough things. And my sense of saying that is shold me of how vulnerable we have to be as humans, how open we have to be because our adversity, our struggles, what we go through is always going to be too much for ourselves, and maybe too much for even one or two people, but never too much for a community, or never too much for the people in the family

that you live. Now, anybody who listens to the Breakfast Club for years knows I am a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan. I can't wait to watch us play the Rams this Sunday night. But if you listen to the Breakfast Club all my Brilliant Idiots podcast, and you also know I've talked about my struggles with anxiety and depression. In fact, I wrote a whole book about it called Shook One Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me. That book is actually more of a journal that I was keeping while going to therapy,

and I share a lot of my lifelong struggles. That's not a book plug, by the way, It's just letting you know that I've dealt with an anxiety and depression so long and I had to document it. Okay. I go to therapy once a week, usually Thursday or Fridays at three. I have a sacred purpose coach a salute yadi out there. I walk around my yard barefoot. I hugged trees. I do breathing exercises. I got the calm map, I got CBD. Okay, I got, I got gyms, the stones.

I charged my crystals by the full moon. All right, salut my sister Debbie Brown and Karma Bliss. The morrow of the story is I do whatever I got to do. The statementally healthy out here period. Okay. I totally understand how Dak feels I had. I had two friends commit suicide in June weeks apart rest in Piece to Jasmine Waters, rest in Piece my man. She killed CARDI from Anguilla, And it didn't hit me until August. Okay. And when I said I had two dark ass weeks in August,

lord having mercy. If I hadn't been doing the work on myself all these years to know what that was and why it was and more importantly, how to deal with it. No telling that would have turned out to when I say I overstand what Dak Prescott says he was going through. I totally overstand what that brother was going through. But one president who didn't have any sympathy for what Dak was going through and didn't overstand I seem to understand what Dak was going through was Fox

Sports his Skip Bayless. Okay, he had this to say in regard to Dak Prescott revealing his struggles with his mental health. Let's listen. I'm going to ask our audience to feel free to go ahead and condemn me if you choose as cold blooded and insensitive on this issue. I have deep compassion for clinical depression. But when it comes to the quarterback of an NFL team, it's the ultimate leadership position in sports? Am I right about that?

You are commanding an entire franchise. What's the roster nowns at fifty three? Still? I think they got like fifteen. Why but you're commanding a lot of young men and some older men, and they're all looking to you to be their CEO, to be in charge of the football team. Because of all that, I don't have sympathy for him going public with I got depressed. I suffered Russian early in COVID to the point that I couldn't even go work out, Skip Bayliss. Let me be the first to

tell you shut the f up forever. Do you know that yesterday was National Suicide Prevention Day? Literally yesterday? Okay, I saw Shanty Dods post that you know, but it was. It literally was yesterday National Suicide Prevention Day. When you made those comments, it was on National Suicide Prevencion Day. You see how the universe works. The universe wants us to have this discussion. Okay, people like you, Skip, you cause folks who may be dealing with depression and anxiety

to kill themselves. Seriously, rhetoric like that causes people to kill themself. See the reason I talk about my mental health scruggles the way I do is because one, speaking about it as a form of therapy for me and it helps me feel better about myself. And two, I want other people, especially black people like me, to know

that they are not alone. So when someone like Dak Prescott, who millions of kids look up to because he's the black starting quarterback for the greatest football franchise of all time, the Dallas Cowboys. Nobody can dispute that. During a topic like this, when that brother decides to be vulnerable and let everyone know what he's going through, that gives the rest of the village scrimp. It might make someone on the lede say, oh, Dak deals with anxiety. Oh Dak

deals with depression. Oh Andy went to go get treatment for it. Oh he went to a therapist. Maybe I should do that too. But then here it comes folks like Skip Bayliss with the lay mass age old take that having mental health issues is a sign of weakness. By the way, that's one of those old patriarchal ways of thinking that has to be deconstructed, Like men are taught to apologize for their weakness and women are taught to apologize for their scrimp. Okay, f all that all right?

When I feel like crying, I'm going to cry. And tears are not signs of weakness. Tears are signs that you've been strong too long and maybe it's time to talk to somebody. When Dak Prescott says, because he put out a state on the Dallas Cowboys website, he responded to what Skips said, and he said, being a leader, this is Dak Prescott. I love these words. He said. Being a leader is about being genuine and being real.

If I wouldn't have talked about those things to the people I did, I wouldn't have realized my friends and a lot more people go through them. He also says, I don't care how big a person you are. If you are not mentally healthy and you are not thinking the right way, then you are not going to be able to lead people the right way. Drop on a clues bombs with Dak Prescott. Every single word he uttered was true. Okay, Dak, my brother, no true awards have

ever been spoken. You are a true leader. You know why you're a true leader because great leaders don't tell you what to do. They show you how it's done. And that's what you are doing right now by sharing your anxiety and depression with the world. Two things I want you to take from this, donkey or today. Okay. Number one, this is a prime example of why you have to be careful who you share a weaknesses with, because some people can't wait for the opportunity to use

them against you. Okay. And number two, the only way we will eradicate to stigma around mental health in the black community is to share our stories. We have to share our weaknesses and our difficulties because that can be more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes. Please let Rimy Mak gifts Kip Bayless the biggest he has. He ha he ha, You stupid mother, Are you dumb?

All right? I don't disrespect my quarterback? Okay, smooth the Cakarren civil Krrenstil actually got me a football autographed by Dak Prescott, not just Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and a bunch of the other Dallas Cowboys. You got me that a couple of years ago. But this isn't about the Cowboys. This is about team mental health right now. I mean, it's about about team mental health. It is always about the Cowboys, but it's about team mental health as well.

And I just encourage everybody to do what you have to do to stay mentally healthy and don't let anybody tell you that you're a weak because you are sharing your difficulties in your struggles. Yes, I deal with anxiety, Yes I deal with depression. Yes I go to therapy. Yes I have a sacred purpose, coach. I do what ever the hell I have to do to keep it together, and I am proud of myself for such. All right, well, thank you for that. I think I met Dak Prescott.

Did I? You did? It was you was on vacation. I think he was in Hawaii. Now I was in the behind, Yes, you did. I was in Behammas. I wish I sent a picture because somebody was like, there's Dak Prescott and I was like, oh, that's he plays with the cowboys. So I took a picture. So it's CHILTI mee. I never forget that picture because he was shirtless, and when she sent it to shirtless replied, nice, I remember that. I did not. I always remember that picture

because he was shirtless. You were kinky. So where you want to go? Where you want to go? Huh? I think that's the bed and what y'all want to go down? Right? So I was asking y'all this. Behind the scenes, we were talking about Katie Holmes. She has a new boyfriend. He's a chef, Emilio Vitolo Junior, and so there's been pictures of them all over the internet. But who knew that he already had a fiance who he was living

with and they had a dog. They have a dog together and everything, and she apparently found out allegedly that he was dating Katie Holmes the same way we found out, but seeing the pictures posted, and so now the story is that his fiance had no idea he was dating Katie Holmes and he broke up with her via text message. Is that rude? Don't you? Do you think that you have to break up in person? Hell? Yeah, that's rude. You can't break up with somebody on through tests christ

and they were living together and that's his fiance. I don't know how healthy, but part of me feels like this, right. I feel like, if you're about to get fired from your job, do you want to have to actually go into work and get fired in person? Wouldn't you rather let you know while you're at home? Don't bother coming in? This isn't working out some jobs. You have to come in though, because the h'all has to walk you out

Keep a lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's about the report angela ye on the Breakfast Club. Well, people were very critical of killer Mike for a meeting with the Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Governor Kemp tweeted out today Marty and I had a

great meeting with at Killer Mike. We discussed how small businesses in the music industry are weathering the pandemic, the value of our skilled trade workers, and our fights and human trafficking in Georgia. We look forward to seeing him again soon. But he got a lot of criticism because of the optics, and Killer Mike responded to all that criticism. You know, people have a lot of issues, but Kemp for stealing the election and for voter suppression and all

of that. What were you going to say, Charlemagne, I was gonna say if all those foods coming from Michael rindon. You know what I'm saying that black people don't know who out here frontline for us by now, and God bless them Black, God bless him. Okay, everybody more worried about their perception than actual progress. Like, come on, y'all know who Killer Mike? Kids? Who blacking and killing Mike. Killer Mike one of the most blackest black men I know.

He banks black, he buys black, He has several black businesses. He employed black people ll yesterday while they was on Twitter tripp and he was feeding three hundred black people, I believe with the bank headcy food trucks. So man,

please all right. So somebody had asked Killer Mike on Twitter, so you are talking to Kemp on the behalf of your community, and he responded, after I saw a council from community activists that I know and have work with over twenty years, black judges and lawyers, black business leaders and my neighbors, I absolutely did. I pay taxes in Georgia and own business there. I'm checking up on my dollars at work. I also meet with my city council member,

state rep and mayor. I suggest all Georgians do the same. He said, only time will tell, And as far as if he's gonna fix any of the things that he discussed, he said, I plan to keep doing what was on the T shirt I wore. We all missed some of my issues. Blacks in Georgia having more than two percent of state contracts while making up thirty five percent of the state, Black men and boys getting free trade school versus building more jails, a justice system that deals with

children's trauma versus jelling them, you need better issues. Yeah, and they don't even know what Mike and Brian Kimp talked about fully what they have an opinion. And people keep saying, oh, well, Brian Kemp suppressed the vote against Stacy Abrams. Well he's still the governor at Georgia, so you're not supposed to engage with him. That makes no

sense to me. And by the way, if you're worried about Brian Kimp suppressing the vote, while you're not worried about Joe Biden, who wrote the eighty six mandatory minimum sentencing, on the eighty eight crack laws and the ninety four crime bill, y'all got no problem running to speak to him, a voting for him in Novembus. And don't tell me about who Michael is meeting with. If there's anybody I trust in a room full of votes, it's Michael Rended.

That man is a true leader. All right. And listen, if you're talking about ending human trafficking and you're gonna sit down and have a meeting eye with, meet with anybody that's gonna help us, all right now, Cardi b since we're talking about politics, she actually says on her live that she hired a private investigator to arrest a teenage Trump supporter who actually put her address out there. Listen to what she said. Let me tell you something.

I get so intense that a Trump supporter posting my address and encourage people to dock my home, to put my house on fire. I to literally hired a private investigator and served him with a roar and arrestless boy. Mind you, this boy was a teenager. His parents were I am not mad at that at all. I love it. You want to put my address out. I got some money to hire a private investigator because you know the place, they don't really do nothing about that, so you gotta

hire somebody. And she got that kid arrested. I want all I want all social media agitators to get arrested and sued. I am sick of these people being able to say anything they want to you online. Get their ass locked up, suit them, and then private investigators. Good. They'll find out you the address of the people. You'll find out how much money in their bank account, to see if it's worth suing all kinds of stuff. Yeah,

I don't trust met. I just had to hire one the other day that got me all the information I needed yesterday. Got it in, Like, I got a lot of intel on all my enemies. Trust me, trust me. You know, I had a I had a bad issue

with the stalker. And this person was sending all kinds of food deliveries and stalking everywhere that I went, and you know, doing all and putting my address, my parents address online and so it took a while, but they found the person and you know, found her mom too, who was like and she kept on posting pictures under a fake page on Instagram and changing it. But she had herself as a white man like with a gun.

But the detective actually told me it's probably a black woman who's doing that, because they say it's usually the opposite that they post as like their profile picture. And it was. It was a young black girl who was in college. But she did have some mental issues. But this is something that went on for quite some time, and it was, you know, it was she was threatening my friends online. She was posting all kinds of stuff, calling people, getting people's numbers. I caught one like that too.

She was a black woman. She had mental problems, mental issues, and we found out who she was. She used to come to the post office near my house and send packages to my house from the post office basically telling me it'll send it to the station, but basically telling me I know where you live. And we caught her and we spoke to her mom and she just had mental problems. We didn't arrest her anything like that. I

want to be the same person all right now. Alicia Kids has started a fund to support small businesses owned by African Americans. She wants to raise one billion dollars. She did announce the details of that initiative in an open letter to Billboard, and she also agreed to perform at the NFL League's kickoff event for the twenty twenty season. The reason that she did that, though, it's because they are contributing to her new endowment fund, so that's why

she did it. I respected dropping a clues bomb for a Laicia Keys. I love it all right. And we gotta shout out to Mulatto. So you know, she's a freshman double XL freshman, and they've been releasing the freestyles and her freestyle she actually flirted a little bit with Fabio four and listen to this, I don't gotta rap about six. So they be tway too good not to

brag on. I ain't even scrapping yet. But if Fabio want to day and I ain't gonna pay, yeah, be checking my mat keep drinking up people like band so the Honey on Drury during the pandemic and my money dead long And the whole time he was smiling, he was hype. It was cute. That's dope to her records are really doing well. Man. I was in Atlanta and her records ring in the club. Yeah, I want to drop on a clues bomb from my little niece, Laporstia.

Mulatto aka Big Lotto, Yeah shout out yesterday and she said A Lotto was actively fighting to combat colorism. In her music video, she writes all her own wraps in one and turned down the deal she had on the rap game. So thank you to Laporte for keeping your old last

uncle in the loud. All right, And Netflix viewers are calling for a boycott, and that is because of that movie Cutie's Now, remember we talked about this. It's a French film and there's eleven year old dancers twerking dancing seductively. At first, it was an issue with the artwork that they use for the movie because it's very suggestive, and as we're fighting trafficking of young girls and girls going missing, putting something out like that, it's disgusting no matter what,

because there's some disgusting people in this world. Well, now that movie has been a release and people are very upset. There's a warning for a sex and nudity and a trigger warning for the content on Netflix. You gotta do all that. Maybe it's not a good idea to release it. Yeah, I haven't seen it, but what about them shows like it's some show my daughter watches all the time. It's

about cheerleaders, a gymnast or dancers. I can't remember. My daughter watches it too, something something mom or chilly mom mom, and you go, I don't know what cute is about, but it seemed like it's in the vein of dance moms. I don't know. I don't know, but they, you know, they already apologized just for the inappropriate artwork and they said it was not okay, and you know, updated things. So if they have probably with the artwork from the movie,
