Stay right there. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. It's DJ NV, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our co host, our guest co host be Scott here. I know that's right, and let's get into the front page. Now, let's start with NBA. The Bulls beat the Raptors last night, why nine one to five playing tournament and the thunder beat the Pelicans one twenty three, one eighteen. I never stay up to watch the worst

Coast games no more. Yes, I'm born in the nineteen hundreds. I need my rest. Teslin, good morning, Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlomagne the God, and B Scott, Big Scot. Yes, let's start, let's get right into it. Justin J. Pearson was he reinstated? What happened with him in Tennessee? Yes, Justin J. Pearson

was reinstated. Local officials unanimously voted on Wednesday to sin Representative Justin J. Pearson, one of the two black Democratic representatives who were out who was outstiff from Tennessee House of Representatives after a gun control protests on the House floor, back to his seat in the state legislature. Now, the vote came less than a week after mister Pearson and Justin Jones of Nashville were abruptly expelled, and now they

are back. Remember earlier this week on Monday, they sent back Justin Jones, and so yesterday was the opportunity for mister Pearson to be voted back to be interim basically replace himself. Now, I want people to remember that this is temporary, both him and Justin Jones. They will still have to go through a special election. We don't know

when that date will be at a general election. So, like we mentioned the other day in the interview, if you do support these two gentlemen, make sure that you don't forget about this story after this week, because they're going to need your support. Now, take a listen to Representative Pearson's victory speech and just a little bit of his victory's speech, and we'll discuss on the other side that's gonna change this country in this moment in time in the country. I'm so glad. So both Justin's are

back in the Tennessee House. That is amazing. But let's not forget why they got expelled in the first place, and that was because they were pushing the line for common sense gun reform. I know those drums sound good, and I know those speeches sound good. Well, let's not forget what they got expelled for in the first place.

That is the issue I speak Scott, what do you what did you think about it yesterday when they were I don't want to see performing, but in front of the in front of the state building, and they were playing the drums and they were talking about everything but what they got expelled for. Um. I felt like it was a circus. I felt like it was making a spectacle or something that we should be taking very seriously.

And the gun reform in this country is something that you you know, mean, like it's like every day we're waking up to these mass shootings. It's like it's almost like groundhouse day every day, and it's like, you know, and it's it's easy to not relate to it when it's not you, but you have to think, one day it's going to be you. That's right, He's not talking. I didn't see the whole speech, so I don't know

if he was felt like his performance. Was he talking about gunning from I'm sure he was, because when you were on a breakfast club, he never got off message of we need to get comments his gunner for Yeah, he did talk about it. Um. But you know, his style of you know, delivery is you know, he's the son of a pastor. Uh and so you that's his

style of delivery. And I'm glad you said that, be Scott, because you know, we did an interview with Justin Pearson the other day and you know a lot of folks may not like, you know, those questions being asked, you know, kind of going sticking to the the actual issues. Um. And I think the ear and I would love to talk about the interview recap quickly. The ear is so accustomed to the performance of it all. And I'm not saying that to be disingenuous to him catching the holy

goals or you know, whatever emotion came with him. But we have trained our ears to prioritize politicians over people. You know, people have no problem with someone coming to the breakfast club and pressuring a rapper to ask you know who did you date last? And enforcing that are asking, hey, a reality show person, you know, tell us the tea. But when we have politicians, there has been a trained ear that is accustomed to listening to the filibuster. So

when folks said, we don't tell, you kind of interrupted him. Well, that's a part of strategy. I've actually been doing this twenty years, believe it or not. The numbers, yes, let's do them, Let's do the man. I am the host of Straight Shot, No Chaser, and so a lot of times when you see politicians come, they're training a filibuster. If I say what is your black policy? You know they immediately going to well, you know, I black girls and black boys and black policy. Oh. People have not

been a customer. And I just want to put it on the record for those that don't know me, because see me in this form be Scott where it's very you know, I'm a moderator when I'm doing the front page news. But just to be clear in case you didn't, I watched the five times that I came to breakfast club and we're interviewed. I prioritize people over politicians. I've been doing in my entire career. I'm not a Democrat,

I'm not a Republican. I don't fangirl over politicians. I believe that they can recover from the interview, but black people cannot recover from four hundred years of oppression. I do believe. And I got a little past hallelujah. Yeah, And so absolutely we have to be very clear about that. And for the folks that don't know, I give the same exact energy, if not worse to white folks on Fox News. I duck no rex, I take all faiths. I will line them up, line them up, Democrat, Republican,

across the board. So let there be no confusion on my energy and asking that young man the tough questions. But we also were very clear. The interview was saying that nobody should be expelled for their voice. You know, nobody. They shouldn't have never been expelled. I was. I was basically saying, listen, we support you, but I cannot and I'll say this and I'll wrap it up when you every last story has said, you know, black black black black, black,

black black elected official black and official. So I must be responsible and say, what are you doing for the sixty percent of black people? In your district. Right, that's a fair question. And I was hoping a brother will come back and say, hey, my district suffers x amount of you know, gun violence, and so me being out of that seat means that I can't help those black

folks in my district. And so rather than people getting upset at me for asking where is white man Bob Freeman, who is not taking a stand, who actually who actually represents the victims who were slaughtered? Go ask where Bobby is? Don't ask why why I asked where Bobby is? But

ask Bob, where is Bob? What you're saying is we should be able to challenge and critique any elected official, especially you know, if you voted for them, and if you upset, if you upset about us challenging democrats, y'all about to stay mad. That's right now and right, and don't never feel away because that's why your head like you know, like I was telling you early, behind the scenes, for myself, I'm surface political. I just don't dive into it like you know. I mean, when we talk real estate,

I dive into it. When we talk about other things, I dive into it. You dive into it into But when it comes to that politics. This is what you do. You got the facts and that's why we trust you. So we appreciate you. So never back down to some cows. You got me riled up. Yes, we'll be doing all right. Let's see you in a little bit test all right, Get it off your chests.

you feeling I am feeling great. I am so grateful to be here with you two guys. You guys are doing it big and thank you. Congratulations again on the BT situation. Monday Monday stop Monday. Well, let's get to the room was what we're talking about. We're going to be talking about Jamie Fox being hospitalized for a medical complication. It's very good. This is the rumor report has been asking me quite on the breakfast club. I wasn't going to come to you, but I had it goes a

little something like this, maybe we had to do. Yes the way back to my YouTube day. Absolutely, you know, I was one of the first YouTube celebrities. Yes, one of the first blog you know, celebrity bloggers, YouTube celebrities all that. Did you make money off you back then? I did. I was one of the first people accepted into their little partnership. Okay, but it wasn't much back then. I mean it was a couple of thousand dollars each month.

Good opportunity. Absolutely. I mean, like I was going viral before that was a term. Wow, you know what I'm saying, Like millions of yous. Like my very first video that I did went viral and I was talking about Shamar Moore being naked. I was so excited to see him naked. I was like, Chamara Moore's ding ding. I was so

excited about it. It was the photos of him coming out the water on the beach I remember and the things that well, it really more months you want to see it more or less it was it was neither. It was kind of in between. Okay, that's about me. Yeah, oh this this took a shop writ It was like the sun get loved man, So dropping a clues bomb for oh there it is. Yes, okay little man, all right, what we are and where we are is this? This is something that hits home for me because this person

is someone that's very special to me. Um. He actually gave me one of the biggest opportunities of my career. Early on, I had a serious XM radio show on Jamie Fox's Foxhole, the Best Guy Show. UM. And he did it at a time where no one you know, I came before the inclusion you see today. So you know, everyone now is getting on the you know, the bandwagon and being more accepting. But back then, what he did was huge because no one was trying to, you know,

give opportunity like that to someone like me. And so I will forever be grateful to Jamie Fox. And so when I heard that he had a medical complication and a medical emergency, that really affected me. And you know, that's what happened so over I think the last couple of days. I don't know what date exactly it happened, but he suffered a medical complication. His daughter Kreeing Fox, she posted this note We wanted to share that my father,

Jamie Fox, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action, great care, he is already on his way back to recovery, healing energy to Jamie Fox. And I'm wondering, man only really getting that old, yes where at that age where people around us are having medical complications or medical emergencies. I'll be honest, asking away from strokes and attacks. I don't think it's the age. I think it's something else.

It's probably the process food. It's something else because there's a lot of brothers out there and a lot of sisters out there that are getting these complications a lot earlier and earlier and earlier, and it's scaring the issue out of me. And it makes me think, what you know, because they she said, due to quick action. So if they didn't act quickly, what would have happened? So it makes you think something something sudden. It would have to either be like a stroke or a heart attack or

something of that nature. I mean, I hate to kind of, you know, speculate about somebody's health, but at the end of the day, like what would require quick action, you know, and it's just like so unexpected because you know, you think you know you it's like, wow, like Jamie, you see him, he seemed so healthy. You would never expect a medical complication out of nowhere. I told y'all, over the last few months, I did every single cardiovascular test

you could possibly do. I did discress tests, I wore a heart monitor, I did the I can't remember the technical term for where they put like the ink inside you because so they can see inside the audi, the calcium test. I did all of that just to make sure and that you know, yeah, I would say, And that still doesn't matter, because in any given moment, anything could happen, some stuff like my calcium was seventy six

and you know they wanted to be zero. And plus heart disease runs in my family, so and then um, I had a little cholesterol. I mean. And for example, like my long time podcast producer of ten years passed away in like a month, like literally he was in the hospital at the first of the month and was dead by the end of the month, leukemia. I had some type of rare form of multiple something something something leukemia.

And that affected me because of the fact that, like you know, he was literally one of the nicest people I've ever met and believed in me. Our last meeting I had with him was him he got a new job and he didn't know how he was going to help me, but he just wanted to meet about the potential of helping me. And he was forty I think

forty one. We tell everybody, definitely go to the doctor and you get yourself checked out, and we talk about you know, Charlemagne and I joke about, you know, getting checked out, and I don't joke about it, Yes, and we talk about it. But you know, like I said that they found they found what two polyps and and you know, they got him removed from me, and one of them, you know, could have been cancerous. I had

no polyps, no, no nods. Yes, And oh my goodness, we didn't have time to get to my exclusive, but we will be dropping a Housewives of Atlanta exclusive in the next hour. You got friends on that show. I am friends with all of them, ish two of them blocked me we'll find out what two blocking when we come next hours. All right, well, thank you be. Scott is here, the wed and owner. That's right, And when

we come back, we got front page news. Tesla figure O will be joining us, and of course Alan Hughes will be joining us. Alan Hughes director. You probably know him from directing Menace to Society and Uh Book of Eli and so many more. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club for the morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings are never you just say old Kevin Harden, Nick Cannon are declaring war on Hollywood. Each week they take you behind the scenes. Is they team up with their famous

friends one all out frank war. The bigger thet star, the harder they fall catch celebrity prank wars. Tonight at ten on each everybody d n V. Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co host Bet Scott with us this morning. I know that's right, and let's get in some front page news. Teslager, good morning, Good morning. How are you feeling. I'm doing good. I'm distracted by Charlomagne's fan though, shout out the flame row.

You already know yes, she said to make sure. She said, you could you use the the one where she's naked on it, So she said, you could on that one, the one behind you. She I'm using this fan because it's hot, Okay, okay, whatever, that's what I'm using. Some front page news. The NBA got, of course, to play in tournament. The Bulls beat the Raptors last night one or nine, one on five, the Thunder beat the Pelicans one twenty three, one eighteen. Now, tell what is going

on in Mexico? Is Mexico sto. I just got back to Mexico. I was in nine days and it was I didn't have no problems. You're right, we all had security, were staying in a gated place. And where were you in Mexico? We was like twenty minutes outside of KENCOO. Okay, yeah. We urged you not to go, and we did. And the reason why is because it was actually when this

story actually happened. So I want to give an update on that because many of you remember the story that we saw, you know, all over social media, where the four black Americans were kidnapped in Mexico. So when that happened, we talked about it here on the Breakfast Club, of course, and so there's been an update on the again. The four black Americans that were kidnapp LaTavia Washington McGee, Eric Williams,

Shadid Woodard, and Zendale Brown. They were attacked and kidnapped by the Mexican cartel on March third, while they were on their way to a medical appointment. One of the things I found really frustrating about this is online people were kind of making up their own stories, saying, you know, they must have been up there selling drugs and donte and they just kind of remember that they just ran with it. So now they've come back to tell their story.

And of course, you know, they confirmed that they were driving across the US border, saw a gun in the car there, beginning a shootout began. Three of them were shot, then they were loaded into the truck at gunpoint. Now McGee said that they kept promising to give medical attention to the victims that were shot, but unfortunately waited too late. Two of them passed away, and Eric Williams did survive.

They eventually gave him medical attention for his leg. Now, both McGee and william sat down with Anderson Cooper on CNN to give an exclusive interview about the horrific experience. Take a listen. Were they threatening to you and violence and sexual violence and they're trying to make us have sex with each other but brother and sister and that she was pregnant. What did they say to you? They was like, what are y'all? We said brothers and sisters, and they was like, have sex with each other. I

was like, no, these are my brothers. I'm pregnant. They I don't know. They had me blindfold covered up. They took me a little piece. We switched vehicles. They put us in another vehicle, and then they covered me up and we rode a little bit and then I just know they backed in somewhere that took me out and took me in a room and I saw him and

some more people. There were other people, people who was capping that Mexico way just a damn minute, Like I must have missed that part they wanted them to have sex in the world. Yeah, definitely, Um, go watch the full interview. It I mean, it's it's really like just jaw dropping. And one of the things they talked about at the end of the interview is that the cartel said that there was nothing they could do to bring

the two brothers back. The guy that that eventually released them, he told her, you know, hey, I know they're gonna kill me for releasing you, he said. But he did apologize that the wrong call was made, that the person was high and drunk and basically made the wrong call. They eventually dropped the survivors off at a wooden shack where they were rescued on Mark seven. And again, what

they've done. The golf cartel has basically issued an apology for the incident and eventually handed over other five other members that they kidnapped to local authorities. So we have no idea why they're doing this. They said somebody was high and drunk and made the wrong call. Yeah, because at first they said that they thought they were Haitian

smugglers and that was the wrong call. But you know, I have a question because when I was in Mexico, people were telling me that it was certain areas that in Mexico that they tell people don't go to, like you know, certain places of no matter where you go, they say, don't go in that area. It's not a tourist town. It's not friendly the tourists. So if you're in those areas, be very careful. Even when I go to Jamaica sometimes, you know, my wife is from Kingston.

Like they even tell us like, don't go to certain parts because you know, it's it's not run by government, it's run by the local cartels, you know. But recently it seemed like, I mean, it's like a coo poco and tuloom, Like it's like all these shootings, people getting killed. I mean, like at the resort near the resort, I

don't don't you can't pay me to Mexico. I wonder if this is any backlash to how they think some Americans may feel about Mexicans because of the rhetoric that comes from you know, Trump, Donald Trump's in the world.

You think. I don't wanted to guess make an assumption, but I guess when we look at what's happening with Mexico in general, you know, uh, and not not pursuing justice or you know, if there is some type of you know, I don't want to make up a conspiracy, but I just think that Mexico was Mexico and they're going to handle their business as such. And I know, a be Scott, you wanted to talk about Mexico as well. Absolutely, and you know Whybably on the topic of Mexico, there

has been an update on the Chicuela Robinson death. UM. The US federal prosecutors have decided not to pursue charges because they found insufficient evidence. Really yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's what's so disturbing. We literally saw this woman get murdered by her friends, UM and the Mexican you know officials. UM, when they performed the optopsy, they did see that she had a broken spine as well as other injuries. Mexico does want to extradite the person they feel is responsible

for her death. There is no news as to how the US will respond to the extradition. Mexico wants to pursue what they call demiside charges against a friend. Demisides the crying to find his intentional murder of women because they are women. Yeah, but right now they're not doing anything. So to answer your question, Charlemagne, the US I talked to Attorney Crump just about five minutes ago, and he said they are demanding they're going to the White House.

Shout out to until freedom, my sister, to make Mallory over there and they're demanding that the US does something. So to your point about is this backlash, Well, again, Mexico wants to arrest the murders of Miss Robinson. Why is the Biden administration? Are they going to extradite these individuals too, you know, so that they can receive justice. So I want to point that out that on March nineteenth, it will be two hundred days since Miss Robinson has

been murdered. And again they have said that if things done, they'll be preparing to protest the White House. And I also think that it ties into how I guess feel like black lives are not valued as much as white lives because if there was a white woman they got murdered in Mexico, trust and believe there will be some type of justice for that. And I was gonna they totally dropped the ball. Does the US usually extradite to to other countries like that? Because you never really hear

the US sending people out. You always hear people sending people back, but you never really hear US sending people out. Is that normal practice? Great? Great point, um DJ, because that's what a turning crout literally said this morning, said, they typically, you know, they don't. That's not something that

they typically do. Um. But again, you know when we see something you know on tape, uh and we see that, you know, people the family is demanding justice and you know again and this goes into the culture of like will be Scott mentioned, you know, black lives and how do we prioritize things and if there was a white woman, would it you know, would they do something different? So it's it's a part of a larger conversation on trying

to get some level of justice for black folks. So it's not something that is typically done, but it doesn't mean that it can't be something that that can't happen. Gotch damn Man, Well, thank you so much. Test. We appreciate you absolutely and make sure that you subscribe to

Yes, and of course he has a new documenteries. It is called Dear Mama, based on Tupac and his mom. And we're gonna talk to him next a right, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. And our co host be Scott said, the Breakfast Club. We are the Breakfast Club. We got

a special guests in the building. A legend Alan Hughes. Welcome, brother, Thank you. How are you, sir? Good good? One of the legendary Hughes brothers, one of them. You're here, I mean you're here promoting the new FX series Dear Mama. Man, But you have such a long yeah, before we get to the beginning. How you got into this business being from Detroit, Midwest kids wanting to go to California, wanting to you know, I thought we thought we were going

to be actors. These big noses and no talent didn't work out. Okay, you know in the eighties, remember when we have the home video boom. You go to the store, they'd had those cameras, and so we just started making movies. Or twelve, my mother was trying to keep us out of the streets, and we knew we just caught a bug. We took a camera at twelve and just start shooting movies. Not skate videos, not BMX videos, just start shooting movies.

And that's how it started tea. We were doing spoofs, you know, like our favorite shows at the time where Leonard Nimoy is in search of We would do spoofs of that, the Johnny Carson Show, and then we would do a bunch of cocaine themed scarface type things, a lot of a lot of baking what is it called dope, getting a lot of dough on our nose is doing

scarface scenes. But we eventually worked our way into around eighteen nineteen, got lucky enough to get some music videos, and one of our first music videos was for the spinoff group of Digital Underground, Raw Fusion with Money B and that's when we met Tupac and it was our first music video. Tupac was in our first music video. So we were fortunate enough that we dropped out of high school after a bunch of Burger king type jobs.

Landed a couple of music videos. In the first one was a pretty much digital underground without the first connection with absolutely It was a waffle house in San Francisco where we had to go meet the group for the first time. He shot g everyone's there, and I remember being very taken with this kid at the end of the table that was unknown at the time. Just funnies, just the funniest guy. He was roasting everyone at the table. Went to the bathroom. He came in and he says,

I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I saw you guys are short films. I'm gonna I'm gonna have my record label hire you to direct my music videos. I'm like, come on, you know. But the next day was our first music video shoot, our first professional job, and I just kept asking everyone wentz Tupac showing up, wins Tupac showing up because we did a little scene before the music video. It's called throw your hands in the air, and he showed up late.

I waited for him and put him right in the middle of the scene and you'll see this music video. He's right in the middle of that scene. And that's how our relationship began and what would those he's like because you know, he became a dynamic actor. Y'all know, became dynamic film director. Did y'all have conversations about doing

bigger things like movie even then? Yes, you know with Tupac, I think when I think back now, because I was forced to with this documseries, the level of intensity and passion was always like matched with me and my brother and him, and we were always talking about doing movies. We were talking about doing movies together. It wasn't just this music thing, but Tupac always kind of searching for

that father figure. Um at one point got in with John Singleton, and I remember when he broke our hearts because he he says to us when we wanted him for minutes, he says, I won't I won't star in the movie, which we didn't want him to. It goes me and John have made a pact that our only starring John Singleton films. We're gonna be like Robert de

Niro and scored Sacey. Wow. And but I saw what was happening with him because he always had that like looking for that big brother, and he made that connection with John, and I remember it hurt our hearts. Um, and because we had plans and that was that why y'all never made that pack. Yall should have yall should have made that back. I did John just get to it first? Its first. Well, you know, John was bigger

at the time we had made a movie. John was coming off Boys in the Hood going into Poetic Justice with the second film. If I'm not mistaken, right, So you got Janet Action, you got John Singleton, Oscar nominated. We're just some guys that made some music videos. We

hadn't made Minutes yet. I always wondered how much did Boys in the Hood inspire Minutes of Society, because in my mind I can't remember how the time difference between those movies, but it feels like they were just two similar type of stories didn't inspire it at all, except for one. In one regard. We had this idea since we were fifteen. So by time we were in nineteen and Boys was catching all this heat and this attention.

We had gotten an early copy of it because they in music video days, you would get the film, and I remember being bummed because the marketing and Cube at the time, remember how massive Cube was. He just left in wa and it just seemed everything was perfect, you know, and I saw the film and I was like, oh, this is not what we want to do. This is more of a positive version, was way Gridia. Yeah, yeah, So it just made us double down on like, oh no,

we gotta be more gangster with ours. And then we saw a film called American Me you've seen American We rewrote Menace. He saw that rerewrote Menace Like that changed everything for us. What part was part supposed to play in Menister? He was supposed to play Sharif the Muslim, the Muslim Muslim brother and you know they're in the problem. He didn't want to be the Muslim brother. He wanted to be old. You know. What's what's interesting is by the time, let me back up a second, and a

Muslim brother had a big partner in Menister. He did. It wasn't a small part. I back up a second. When we were doing music videos with Tupac and I think our relationship, our friendship, our intense friendship, lasted maybe nine months. One day I picked him up at the Birdbank Airport, him and his brother Mopreme, and we went to the Paramount lot and it was the first time he saw Juice And I never even knew about Juice, and I just remember he had like one or two

tattoos at the time. He didn't, he wasn't tatted up, he wasn't whatever. I remember, everything changed after he saw Juice, after he saw himself in Juice. A lot of people saying that he say after he changed after he played Juice, after he saw himself in Juice. I saw it when he saw it. What I didn't know at the time was he was was aware of what the critics were saying about him, because you get the early reviews, so he knew going in that this was well reviewed for him.

But I saw a change. He saw script, he saw a thing happening. Because I always say Tupac signed his record deal three years too late. If you think about what he represented as far as like social justice, black power, all that stuff, that was eighty eight. That's eighty seven. He signed his dealing ninety one, you know, for life albums at the top of the charts, And I think it he was always struggling with like, damn, this is what's hot now. It's not who I am but this

gangster now. And I saw that struggle in him. But when he saw Juice, just you can see it in his actions after that leg I can't claim that, you know, when you look at his death row Era and you look at that persona, you you know some of that must have been in him, because like with any great performer or any great actor, you can't you can't play something that's not something that in you, you know. But

I think Tupac was a true artist. I'm talking about like empathic too, and sensitive and can take in anything and become anything. Um And I think unfortunately he got cut down in the progression of becoming a man early, you know, at twenty five. How if any of us got removed from this earth at twenty five, I mean, what a shame because we're not fully formed yet seeing full frontal cortex, don't even developed a twenty five I

want to talk about the pox stuff. But you literally made like three of my favorite movies of all time. But I think about that end scene of minutes when you hear Kine's heartbeating, you know, and he's questioning himself, like I can only imagine that's probably how it is when you're dying from gunshot. You're like, damn, I wish I would have made another choice. But I guess now is it's too late. Like that ain't make me want

to thug out. And they say, you know, when I was studying for Dead Presidents, call you call out for your mama. That's the number one thing you call out for when you're when you're dying in Vietnam, that was a number one thing. And they say, Tupac, the first thing he said when he got shot was he called out for his mother. Wow. And you know that's where I think you do go there? All right, well we come back. We got more with Alan Hughes, whom the

Hughes brothers, you know him, the director. He directed Minister Society, Book of Eli and now Dear Mama. So we'll talk to him some mores to Breakfast Club the morning morning everybody is dj n V. Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. B Scott, our co host is here and we're still kicking it with Alan Hughes. Now you know Alan Hughes, he's a director. He's directed Minister Society, he's directed Book of Eli, and now he's doing Dear Mama,

the Tupac docuseries. Did you know when you started casting for Minister Society? We're gonna talk about everything. But did you know Lorenz Tape was the perfect person for that. That's a funny story about Lorenz Tape because we wrote that role for Easy. Easy was my first real og mentor in the business, right when Drey right the summer Dre left ninety one. That's a long story. So we got time. You gotta time, We got time. You know,

Easy Easy, I learned. I learned everything from Easy. But one of the things with him and Jerry is they were always trying to keep you in the box and control you, you know, and and they were trying to control us in the script, and and I just had to move on, you know. And it was for peanuts. And I adore Easy. He was so giving and so down to earth and by the way, great with his fans too, like very patient with his fans. But I see why Q left, I see why Drey left. That

there was a thing there. There was a whole thing there. So we eventually moved on with Menace. And as we were casting, we had been through two hundred old dogs. They brought us in the list that were the throwaways. That's when Lorenz they were like, you're not gonna this is not this is not what you're looking for. Once I yelled action, he went right into what you saw

in the movie. Wow, I was like whoa, And I just got giddy, you know, and and and they were like, don't you can't tell him he was there with his brothers because he was under age. I ran out to the elevator, got an elevator with him. Just you knew. You knew right away because the thing I learned with Lorenz, and I try to keep this in mind in my career is like, don't get trapped in like what you think the role is the way it's supposed to look,

you know, expect the unexpecting. And that's that kid was blew us away. Did old dog die in minutes? Man? What? What? No? Okay? So he went to prison? Like, yeah, he went to prison. Okay, why didnt y'all show that? I mean, they showed him getting arrested, but always opened into thing kind we were young and didn't know we were doing Charlotte Magne. You're right, like there's like things that and it was like two and a half million dollars budget. It was a time.

We barely got that shot where he got put in a cop card. Now we were just young and dumb and lucky. And even with that, I thought I didn't know if that was a flashback or he was getting arrested for the murders. That was the night of the shooting, and there was a whole scene with Jada crying on the porch and all kinds of things that we just cut out of the movie came being put into the

ambulance that all got cut out. Uh No, they wanted to do a sequel at one point, like fifteen years ago, ten years ago, and old Dog was gonna get out of prison because he was he was a juvenile. Yep, Wow, what would that? Did you even entertain that? Did you even? I didn't think I was entertaining it? And then we ended up in new lines offices and like entertaining it, and yeah, but I never really wanted to do it. Yeah, I never because I'm like, how do you just want

to leave that classic? Yeah? When y'all did those lines, did you ever expect those lines to continue on forever? Like? Wait, when you hear lines like you know, you know you know now, or you know the lines I feel sorry for your mother or all those things, did y'all know how far that was gonna go and how how much impact I was gonna have on the coach it to this damn hell No. No, there's not one line in any movie of those movies that I felt that way for except for and I still didn't think this. Uh,

there's that line break yourself. When the guys break yourself. Yeah, I remember me my brother were driving down Sunset Boulevard and LaBrea. We stopped at the light they called it HollyHood back then because it was so cracked out. I saw a dude slapping a dude's down to his legs, gonna break yourself, right, we're just right there. That's the first time I ever heard that, And I knew if that stuck out to me, he's slapping them like turning

his pockets inside, telling them break himself. I've never heard that before, so I thought there was something to that, But no, there's no there was no line ever. Those are all, by the way, a lot of those lines of menace and in Dead Presidents were all improvised. Most of them were improvised. And Dead President was based off the trauma and black veterans feel when they come home

from the military. Right, what what inspired that? There was a book called Bloods that was several stories of black Vietnam veterans, you know, and they read these stories can to see what black veterans had to come home too. There's a different type of trauma fighting that were most of the disproportionately losing their lives as a black community, you know. And I think we were a little again too young and too ambitious. And if you look at the movie, it's three different movies, it's a it all

made sense though, Like I remember being young. When you're young, you think that's just the bankits movie, right, like, oh, it's exciting, you see the white faith with very it does now for Halloween. But then you get older, you start to peel back those layers of Oh, man, okay, he was in the military, came home PTSD, broke girl cheating on him because he's gonna be angry, you know what I mean, because he want to, you know, figure

out a way to get some money. So it's just a lot of other different things you see as you get older. Yeah, I think I think the writing could have been better, you know, Like he makes the decision to do the heist, but he hadn't gotten done enough. I thought you know, it's finding jobs and you know, like the beats that I know now in storytelling, like you gotta go through a few more beats to earn the right to be shooting all those cops. And now you're being too hard on yourself. And I was peoples

and he was sleeping with his girls all that one alone. Yeah, you're right, he sat alone. Girl didn't beat his ass. Yeah, put the gun in his mouth. You know what sucking gun? Denzel Washington taught me something. You put that gun, you know like Lorenz did, uh say Cutty did to Lorenz character. I guess mistake of dead presidents was before he went down, he should have went back and served that guy. And you got to give that to the audience. You can't have your hero get get done like that and not

get some form of justice. Even if he's gonna go to prison, there's got to be some get back for the audience, the audiences. That was a tough watch for the audience at the time to see Lorenz his character put in that position, um by that pimp ish character and he never got us. You know, he never got to get back. Now were you were you in poking good terms? When he passed because I know you had

a krafuffle one day. Um no, it kind of that's a that's a strange because he did apologize, um to what happened for people I don't know this, you know, Oh my god, this is the people I don't know. I didn't sleep enough to tell this story. Um well, he we eventually had to fire him for menace because it was just he was just becoming a handful and and um, I could tell it was just there was no way for us to It was starting before minutes, and I tried to work it out with him, but

he just, in my opinion, wasn't being reasonable. And I'm sure he would say the same of me. And this is between me Tupac who had that conversation? Who walks in that trailer? It was in pre production, so we were rehearsals where we had to several little blowouts. And then I called him later that night. Well, he told me to call his manager. I call his manager's managers, like what Tupac? This Tupac let me talk to Tupac called Tupac goes, I'm not talking to you, talk to

my manager. I said, you know, like like there's no way this is we can't do this. Tupac Like, if I can't talk to you, and I'm gonna have to let you go, you know, talk to my manager. So next day I went to New Line Cinema and I said, we gotta let him go. Oh you didn't want to fire, No, you wanted to work. No, I wanted to work it out. Yeah,

And he was making a lot of money. And by the way, to Tupac's credit, he was one of the reasons why the movie got greenlight, because they went in green light unless we had someone a note or a platinum artist in the film. In Tupac as a friend find on early and helped us with that film, you know. And I remember the termination letter, and that's what happened. He got terminated, and there was rumors that Tupac was looking for us. And I'm not gonna make this about

my brother, because this is the decision I made. I dealt with the actors. Albert was out there scouting locations when this happened, you know. But anyway, we pulled up in the Spice one music video for the soundtrack Trigger has No Heart, Got No Heart? I can't remember the title, and I saw Tupac sitting there with ten gangsters already liquored up, and so he knew what it was. Yea

and that, and that's what happened. I'll just make this story short, because he got it, got bloody, he got brutal on me, and I just remember going, damn, I don't feel anything. I was amazed by what the adrenaline does. And I had to go to the hospital. Was that bad? You know? So there was a mutual friend, mutual friends. I'm like, just tell them to meet me in the park. You know. I was like, meet me in the park, man, I'm not threatening you. You know, let's resolve with his men,

just one on one. And I just kept getting um rejected. I said, all right. So that's when I took it to court and I had a real attorney, and I'm in the preliminary stage. I go, you know what pulled the MTV that moment you're talking mountain where he's threatening and re threatening and confess. He confessed to it, yep, and yeah, and say you're gonna do it again. Yeah, when I catch him, the traveler said, pull the tape. Let's show that to the jury. Beat up the side,

let me tell the whole world. Check this out. They fired me, but did it in a roundabout, punk snitch way. So I caught him on the streets and beat date behind. Do you know what I'm saying. I can't. I still got when they showed that tape to the jury. You should have saw their faces. That's what won the case. Well, don't move. We got more with Alan Hughes. When we

come back. It's the Breakfast logan Morning. Everybody's dj n V. Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club be Scott, our co host is here and we're still kicking it with Alan Hughes. Now you know Alan Hughes. He's a director. He's directed Minister Society, He's directed Book of Eli, and now he's doing Dear Mama, the Tupac VACU series. Charlemagne, I think some people are concerned that you might try to paint Pocket in a negative light because of that

situation with Dema. I remember they first announced it. I saw people that are close to POC online saying like, no, why is he doing Dear Mama? Like what story is he going to tell? What kind of chess would I be on to? First of all, not be proud of like the icon he's become, and why would I want to If anything, the reason why I took the job was I want to understand him more. You go around

the world Africa, South America, Asia, Europe. You see that mural, you see you don't see anyone around the world like that. I don't give cool. It is like you don't see him in Africa like you see Tupac. And I always looked when I was traveling, like, oh man, I wonder he's the strange paradoxyl I can use that word twentieth century figure that you can project anything you want to love or fighter saying center hoh it, philosopher, violence, whatever you want to see, you'll see in Tupac. You know,

I've noticed that a bomb. He's almost biblical in that way. I say too, like tupacts on like your grandma has m ok JFK and Jesus over there Tupos on that other wall. So you gotta be real mindful when you're dealing with something like that. Break down, break down what it is for people that don't know, is it a mini series? Is a document series? Is it weekly? So

for people that don't know, it's a documenteries. Five parts and it's the first week April twenty first it drops on FX, the first two episodes come out that night, and then the next day and Hulu streaming, and then a week the week. How hard is it to gather all of these different stories together the film, because it's not just Pockets as mother as well, right, So yeah,

how hard to gather these stories? It's very difficult because it's like with on the Affany side, there was virtually nothing, no footage, very little pictures, and she's got a rich history, especially obviously her Panther years and what she was on trial for with the Panther twenty one. They were facing three hundred and sixty years for allegedly trying to bomb all kinds of things in New York and a Faney

represented herself, which is bold to say the least. So it's it's it's very hard to difficult to go back, and you know, you have to do it like an excavation. You're trying to find things. But we fortunately found a lot of footage, not a lot enough on her and enough photos that hadn't been seen, enough stuff with Tupac that hadn't been seen. And the one thing that was odd was there was no footage of them together, of him and his mother together, none, not even as a

young boy. No footage there may have been. There's five pictures of the two of them. Five do you know why did they ever say? Why did you get an understanding of why? Just that odd LaToya and Michael thing? Maybe I don't know there was so I would go back to the music videos for other reasons. I would get the outtakes. I always do that. Let's get the outtakes. Let's find the moment before the moment, the moment after

the moment. And I found and I get around video a lunch break that they shot a barbecue and there he is sitting when his mother eating barbecue. And it's in the Film's only like fifteen seconds, but it's the only time you see them too together. I got a couple more question exactly, you gotta go, what's going on with to Marvin gay biopick, that happens. We'll see, let's see, we'll see doctor dre and do let's see, we'll see. It's it's, it's, it's it's a little more complicated. We

got the script. It's a great script, but a funny little thing happened on the way to the bank. Uh. Snoop Dog came to me to do it with his BIOPICCK and that, and that's being fast tracked right now. Marvin is ready, but there's some elements that need to

get in place. That's one of the ones. You can't know what's love got to do with it, Like you know, part of the part of the challenge for me was when Snoop came to me with his biopic and I saw that universal was that enthusiastic about getting it done right now, and I saw that I could tell an inspiring story, but go back to the hood. I go, you know what, this is probably smarter for me to do first because there's something I'm familiar with, the music,

the culture. Let me do this first, and and not just jumping into Marvin. You know, um, you got a thread a needle and you know that I think was Snoop in his story. It's more innate to me. And I'm like, let me get those reps in, let me get this out right now, because Marvin is like a whole nother ball game. You have talent attest to it. Y'all know who's gonna play Marvin h no Okay, no, we we think we know, and but you know, and I prefer being unknown Marvin. And how much of the

snooper y'all done? How much of it? Yeah? Script is in this month and we're meant to be shooting at the end of the summer. That movie gotta be minutes to society Boys in the Hood type. But it starts that way. Okay, it starts that with stupid dupe was because remember everything, he goes through the death Row and then he buys it back and owns it, which is I want to go back to the ninety but you gotta do all that. But murder was the caase that's what you want to go back to us crack dealing.

But it has to end with him buying the catalog and owning Death Row. You know what's funny you said that I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, him and him name, not having his masters and all that, and then coming back to him owning it, you know what snoop recently, I don't know, I don't know if I'm out in this right now, but you know, listen, I adore this guy, like this dude is so special, so grounded, such a great listener, such a great I mean, he's a sage.

He gave doctor Dre the Chronic bank. Oh, I didn't know that. I don't know that he bought the whole death Row, gave Dre the chronic, gave it to him. I said, Snoop, who does that? Michael Jackson, who do you do that with? You know, Michael had got the Sony the half of Sony Publishing because he had to beat those catalogs. It was Sony ATV. And I think he gave him back the little Richard if I'm not mistaken. Oh okay, I hadn't heard that. He definitely get Paul back.

He did mostly black. I definitely know it was a little Richard. I forgot when Snoop did Death though. I was like, wow, wow, you gave it to him. Um, how come it seems like the essence of those movies Minutes of Society, Dead Presidents. Why can't we capture that? Now? I don't feel like anybody can capture the essence of those great nineties films. Now. Maybe I'm just old na not stuck in my waists, but I just don't feel like nobody captures those anymore. I don't get feelings the same,

especially especially with black. Well when you see when you see black entertainment right now, I'm gonna go somewhere with this, and you see all the sharpie beards, don't insult vent that's hilarious. You look back and watch a show like White Shadow and you see the way that their hair and how real it was, or Cooley High, you know, nineties it was like an offshoot of that where there was just a natural, like analogs salt of Earth thing,

and we've all become so like groomed and meticulous. And that's part of the challenge, you know, like the culture has changed, you know, and things look different and things feel different. So I think the best one can do is go back and make a period piece and try to be as true to that period. If you're gonna make a movie about the nineties or the eighties or

the seventies or the fifty whatever it is. But to make a contemporary black film right now, it's gonna be sharpies and you know, Beijing and damn envy us a run. It's a running thing. Which story would you want to tell? Now? I don't just see what I want to dedicate myself to now, because I see what's happening in the culture. It's just like incredible black stories, journeys and do what you just said, Like, how can I now know what I know now at fifty one and coming into my prime?

How can I, you know, give back and and tell inspiring stories. I think it'd be dark and edgy and whatever, you know. But there's there's a lot of black stories being told now, a lot of and nobody wants to say that because it's not a lot of them. It's a lot of them being told, but not enough for us, I guess to be critical of them, that's right, you know what I mean? So because certain movies come out

and I'll just be like, I'm not gonna say nothing. Yeah, I don't want to impact the sales or the ratings or anything. You know. Well, I will stay to say this because this, this takes time. I think the challenge, you know, uh, in our culture and our cinema is we compete with one another instead of competing with what came before us or what it is considered the standard. And so black cinema they are like a handful of like truly greats, don't get me wrong, but in order

for us to really really you know, achieve excellence. You gotta look at the typicals whatever Scorsesey Coppola, James Cameron, whoever. You know, you have to press yourself up against those guys, those those ladies, and like figure out what it is and do your homework, you know, and and don't try to just speak to your own community. Try to be transcendent or attempt to be transcendent to well said well,

Alan Hughes, make sure you check out Damn Mama. You can see it everywhere on the twenty first on FX and it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Scott. Don't either one of y'all know what y'all saying. No, no, wait a minute, that said on that one song, that that part and uh, I'm throwing it way back when snow set on Informa and farm. Black people just love make us. Why not morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our co host be Scott with us. Absolutely and

let's get to the rooms. What we're talking about? Oh my goodness, So we have an exclusive for you. This is a Housewives of Atlanta exclusive. This hey have been asking quite some time on the Breakfast Club. I had he goes a little stuff like this. Absolutely. I know you guys call this a room report, but this is now tea time would be Scott. There it is and

so okay. So we for the last three years we had exclusively on love be Scott dot com the new trailer for Housewives of Atlanta, and this year was no different. And this year it is explosive. Okay, And I'm want to play a little clip of it. He crazy right now because you let it go the body, mind, soul can heal it? Sauce Ruster Dora husband Ralph Pittman vows for the voice top story. Baby, are you ready to talk about Ralph? Yeah? You break it down, break it down,

break it down, break it down. And so the first part of that, you heard Candy and Marlow get into a really, really heated exchange. Anytime you hear Candy gar you know, and I love Candy, I love you, Candy, don't do it. Um. So she got really upset and they went to a new low. So basically what happened was and also I want to say this, the reason why Bravo came to me and gave me these trailers is because they were sick and tired of me telling

everything that's going on in the season. But shouldn't they want that. No, they didn't want me to tell everything beforehand and completely um, but because I want them to know the peace treaty is off. Because they try to do some funny business about this trailer and still trying to tell me what time it is. No one tells be Scott what time it is the funny business basically, like you know, they upset that. You know, well, initially

because we broke two married and medicine exclusives. They told me they were going to take the trailer somewhere else and I said, if you did that, I'm gonna go to war. And when I said go to war, it means that I will recap every episode of the show before the show comes out that talk Scott. Oh yeah, My sources are extensive. It's not just Housewives. I have executives production where we want to go with just a show, just thank you and to be honest, you know, and

why are we letting the chop a fly? Andy Cohen does not need to be hosting the reunions for black shows. He doesn't I have the cultural relevance. And it's not me being disrespectful to Andy coin. But you can't use your white privilege to sit there and talk down to people who need that job, especially black women. Okay, because he doesn't have the finesse. You can't finesse our culture. Either you're a part of it or you're not. And Andy can choose not to make that decision because he's

an executive produce all of that. Absolutely, so be Scott should be hosting the reunion show. Yes, okay, yeah, because no one has an extensive you know, history with the Housewise as I didn't. It doesn't the franchise I do. But it doesn't have to be a reunion show. It could be like a show every RecA recap show, recap showy about it every week. If you come on right after the episode, right after the episode, she interviews, well, be Scott interviews to cast new all that other stuff.

You know why that's interrupted because there's so much conversation that happens about these shows on social media, because why wouldn't you just have a show on your network just carries that conversation to television. And think about this. When the first show first started, I had the Housewives on my YouTube channel. I was interviewing Housewise Mariah Carry, Jennifer Lopez, and the list goes on way back when before it was even the thing. Now people are like, oh, I

got celebrities on YouTube. Ben done that, you said two people had you block. But we got to get to why the thing that interaction they were having, so they went to a new low. So basically, Marlowe brought up about um, the shooting that happened at Candy's restaurant. Candy got upset, went into the and then said and then said, um brought up Marlowe's history, criminal history, and then the fact she slashed a girl in the face who later

committed suicide. That got real low somebody somebody talking about I mean, that was just like I think they were just having a moment to kind of recenter themselves. Um. And then the other exclusive of should I just keep it for the other part, Well, the other component of this is that in Portugal they had your group trip and there is a recording, so one housewife recorded another housewife, UM having discussion about that housewife kissing another woman on

the show. So there you don't understand that because I was confused, and that's the reason why I'm giving broad But just a little bit because I don't want to say who the people were that did the recording and what was you know, I'm gonna give a little bit the reason to watch the show, but that is exclusive. They went to New Lows and I can't wait to see it. I don't watch the show, but I took a sip of that tea and I was like, you know, give me another simple sound, not not before we go.

You know, earlier you were telling about two people as you blocked, two people that have got me blocking. You were telling me that one of them called today to try to get back on the show. Get one of them was here in town this week and wanted to host. You know, and let me to say this. I want to say this for the record, Nini is the all time funniest housewife. She has the comedic quality that no one else has. Of course, we are also, regardless of whether she said so or not, we're friends. So how

it got started was she got on the show. Even though I know Nini the longest, we are friends. I've hung out with her so many times, she said we weren't friends on the show. So by the time the information got to me that she was fired, I said run to hell out of it, and then when I did so, blocked me. I'm not friends anymore. No, well I still, I mean, I still have love for her. She was not wrong about Bravo. She went about it

the wrong way. That's all I got to say. So when was the last time I spoke to Ninny years now? Damn it, man, don't sound like your friends. And then the other one is Porscha. She blocked me because I put out the exclusive about how she got her Peach cobbo by Bolo, Peach cobbold By, she got it in smashed cold, got it Peach Cobboler. Don't hit dump for that. See that you doing on the dump? But I got love for Nini and Porscha and they should unblock me and I would love to have them both back on

Housewives of Atlanta. You should speak to Nini, I should Pa and Portion And if I had slept with Bola, I would just say, yeah, I did it. Porsche should have owned it. She so this with things. Bolo, the stripper, the hung stripper, the stripper from like switched out the tea ding one kind of tea, y'all just switched So Bolo was a couple of years ago. Remember it was the rumor that the stripper came. Everybody was drunking in

the stripper smashed somebody. She is allegedly saying that Porsches and I was the one behind that, so that's why she blocked me. I like her sheets too, she had sheets. I like her. She's getting some part on my right. The sheets is really good as got ain't wash the pamper by Porsche. Okay, all right, well we got more room. He's gotten a little bit. Charlotae whore giveing that donkey to Yea. You don't gin't gonna better than Netty. No,

it probably won't. But for after the hour. Former SNL star Victoria Jackson, she needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with her, all right. We'll get into that next. It's a breakfast local one, all right, So Breakfast Club, Your mornings will never be the same. Introducing the game, a new single from the Locks, Rick Ross and Fat Joe.

The latest on that police killing of a black man not a new developments in the deadly spawshooting rampage. It was a really bad day for him and this is what he did, and so we are in a state of emergency. Okay. White supremacist violence is always have been the number one threat to axicide. But

I'm also very proud that my wife was white. The breakfast club, bitches, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Wow, Donkey of to Day for Thursday, April thirteenth goes to a form An SNL star named Victoria Jackson. Never heard of her and tell this story, but she was a cast member on SNL for six years between nineteen eighty six and nineteen ninety two, and I suppose she resides in Franklin, Tennessee, because she decided during a council discussion on Tuesday to try her best

to stop a gay parade from taking place in Franklin. Yes, the parade needed a special event permit for the occasion, and during Tuesday's conference, it was agreed the celebration had been given approval, but Victoria put up a fight. Oh yes, this human jar Hellman's Mannas did her best to convince the counsel of why Franklin having a pride parade was a bad idea. No, seriously, she's not just against homosexual she apparently doesn't like pride period. Oh I can't make

this type of stuff up. Listen, Victoria Jackson. God hates sodomy, He hates homosexuality, he said it's an abomination, and he hates God hates sexual immorality all kinds or an occasional adult tricks are And God hates pride like one of the most things. He hates his pride Proverbs eleven twelve. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, But with humility comes wisdom. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure

of this, they will not go unpunished. And sodom and Gomorrah proves that God hates sodomy and sexual morality and pride. I just want to encourage this generation not to be brainwashed. Why would it comes to some religious folks, especially Evangelicals and Christians. They can say God hates everything except for hate, like God hates hates, God hates blacks, God hates you know, Latinos,

God hates gluten. But when it comes to racism, okay, white supremacy, any form of prejudice which they are clearly displaying, God has no hate towards that. And look, I'm no Bishop TD Jakes, I'm no Sarah Jakes and Torrey Roberts lut to the First Family of Faith, though love them, I'm not any of them clearly, but I am almost positive that this human keg of craft mandate is totally misinterpreted. Proverbs eleven twelve. Okay, when pride comes, then comes disgrace.

But what humility comes wisdom. The Lord detest all the proud of heart. Be sure of this, they will not go and punish. Listen, there's three types of pride. Okay, you have superiority, you have arrogance, and you have dignity. Okay, some say conceit, arrogance or superiority. You know, you have the kind of pride that is based in self centeredness, and that's destructive. Selfish pride is especially destructive the relationships, because the opposite of loving others is not hating them, okay,

but simply being self centered victoria. Not only are you doing the opposite of loving others, doing the opposite of love thy neighbor as thy self. You are showing superiority and arrogance for people who are simply expressing pride in who they are. That's what dignity is. The actual definition that dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect. Dignity is a sense of pride in oneself self respect. So Black pride, Gay pride, Latino pride,

it's simply showing a sense of pride in oneself. Okay, that's it. See American pride, all right. When you hear people say I'm proud to be an American, it's usually rooted in superiority, okay, white superiority, in Anglo Saxon arrogance. That will cause you to stand up and tell someone who's proud to be who they are and wants to hold a parade to celebrate who they are, you know, the pride that God actually hates. Okay, we'll make you feel superior to those individuals and have you tell them

God hates them for who they are. You don't even know what pride means for real, for real Victoria. Okay, not gay pride, pride to rock. You probably think the Proud Boys are shining examples of the type of pride God loves. But that's another another story. Now, be Scott, I feel you have thoughts. I mean, you almost made me want to shout. That was I mean, Charlotta Magne,

that was quite quite the spill right there. I just think that she much like you know, she left SNL right to for a sitcom and didn't get picked up, just like her face. Jesus. So, I'm so tired of people who look like that having any opinion on my community. Pick up your face. Pick your face up first before you come over here telling me what I should and should not be doing. Please, let Remy Mark give form an SNL star Victoria Jackson the biggest heh heh heh,

you stupid motherfuck you gotta use that one. That's good. That's your face, your face before you got anything to say about me, anything about your face. All right, Well, thank you for that, Donkey of the dame. All right, now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eighty five, one oh five one. Let's talk colleges. Oh yeah, there was an article in a

business inside even though I didn't go to college. Well, there was a good article in Business inside, all right, and they were saying, the majority of Americans now think getting a college degree isn't worth it. That's right. Forty two percent of people say, uh, forty two percent of people with college degree and said it didn't end up being worth getting. Right, And now they say that fifty six percent of Americans now say a four year college degree isn't worth the car. So let's talk about it.

I would assume because it didn't translate in the dollars for some people. Maybe, yeah, I mean college is very expensive, you know. And we'll talk about it when we come back. Eight hundred five A five one oh five one. I will say, and I've been saying this for a long time. I think going to high school and going straight to college is you said, we're gonna talk about it. We talking about it when we come back. People have something. We have to be on time for BT and we

have to practice good habits. Could you stop go to commercial? That sound right? Being on time for BT? What the point? All right? Right? What we'll talk about it when we come back. We're gonna we're a little late anyway, so now that makes sense. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one, we'll talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club Warning Breakfast Club in v Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club out co host B Scott is here and we're opening up the phone lines. Eight hundred

five eight five one oh five one. We were talking about something we've seen in the Business Insider where they're saying the majority of Americans now I think a college degree isn't worth it, and they said fifty six percent of Americans now say a four year college degree isn't worth the cost. And I was saying that I got my degree of course from Hampton University HBCU shot everybody at all at Hampton and Lums. I would say, I think that students should take some time off before they

go to college. And I'm gonna tell you why. When I went to college, and as most students go to college, a lot of them go to pass. They just want to get their degree and get out. And that's what I did. I got my degree and got out. But now realizing there's so many classes and courses that I should have really listened to because it would have helped me in you know, life, in life, you know what I mean. And I wish I could go back to those courses. And I tell my daughter, who's an NYU

now that you know, take those classes serious. Just don't study to pass study to actually learn whether it was accountant, whether it's business, whether it's marketing and management. Now, I didn't get my degree in communications. I got my degree in marketing and management, which I use in my career because I always said I was going to have money going in high school. I just needed to know how to keep it, how to invest it, and that's what college taught me. But I tell kids to take time off.

When I tell kids what courses, they should say because I think they got to figure out and learn what they want to do. You know, I think if you take that time off, maybe jump into the workforce a little bit, then you can really understand what you want to do. Because most people don't know what they want to do. They go college, They go to college and just try to figure it out. That's interest, you know. I tell my daughter, my daughter's fourteen now she's a freshman.

I tell her now that, you know, even if she doesn't know what she wants to do, even even though she does. I think going to college is a good thing to do until you figure it out, because yeah, because you're not wasting time, Like at least you'll have a degree after those four years. I didn't go to college, you know, even though I am a doctor honorary doctor from South Carolina, but I didn't go to college. But I'm just saying I feel like that four years is

it's a good way to deal with your time. But courses that you don't know, Like my daughter went from real estate to be she wanted to be an attorney, then she went back to real estate, so she doesn't necessarily know, Um, what do you think? I mean? I can only speak from experience, you know. I went to the University of nor kallin Choppa Hill, and for me, it was something that was definitely needed because they gave

me a basic, working knowledge of the world. And I feel like a lot of people could benefit from that. I do believe that just knowing just fundamentals of just like photosynphesis or just like certain things just allows you

to appreciate things in a whole new way. And I do believe that you should use college as you were saying Charlemagne, to kind of explore, because that's what the general requirements are to The general requirements are all over the place, and as you explore different little taste of things, you can then say, Okay, I want to go deeper

in that, and that becomes your major. And my fear is that if they were to take time off and they go and work, then they're going to start getting real life responsibilities, which means you're buying stuff with the money that you're make into this job, and so that means you got to keep that job to keep these things, and then prevents you from ever going back. So don't The thing about exploring is you're exploring by paying a bill.

Like you look at certain colleges of forty fifty thousand dollars a year and you're Lauren spending money and might not you might be taking the wrong classes that you

don't like. Like there's a lot of people that or six years seven year college students because they started thinking they want to be something and then they wound up figuring it out, that's not what I want to do, and then by the time they graduate, they have three hundred four hundred thousan dollars worth of debt that they got to pay off, and now it takes some twelve years to pay off. I like what the Scott said, though. You know, if you don't go to school, you probably

getting habit of just working. Yeah, you know. And I also think that sometimes you can tell it, like when people just don't have a basic knowledge of stuff, you'd be like, oh, okay, I get it. You just you skip some courses. Let's go to the phone lines. A lot of people are on the lines. Hello, who's this Hey, good morning, Hey Bernard, go on and talk to us. All right, So I just wanted to touch on the I word. Out of college I felt about eleven years.

And so when it comes to the affordability, colleges are very but it's also public schools that are much more affordable and in some cases if you qualified for like programs that actually an entire umge for free without paying anything out of pocket. It's usually when we got to those master pisis and gradual program or those private schools that folks are paying a ton of money and not really seeing that return on the better spat. Okay, I

won't say that too. You know, the bad thing and This is why we always talk about, you know, free education. My mom worked extra hard and my dad work extra hard to so that I wouldn't have huge college bills when I graduated, right, I think they paid like seventy percent of my college to which and I had to pay thirty percent when I graduate. So for me, the biggest thing for my kids, I have six, is to make sure that you have six, six kids a twenty one,

eighteen nine eighty six in a one year old. That's impressive. But for me, I want to make sure my kids don't have any college bills. So I work extra hard to make sure when they graduate they started from zero. You do have to work extra hard that you know. You know what? That was what college do that? I don't hear y'all talk about enough. Don't you learn other things outside of just getting a degree, like meeting people,

networking skills? That was another And you know me coming from New York, all I was about was New York. But when I went to college, I had a roommate from Mississippi. I had a roommate from Ohio. I had a roommate from New Orleans. I had a roommate from Jersey. So it opened me up, you know, do music to all those different areas of music and things like that, and in most cases, it's a safer environment to a spot different things and learn how to interact with people

than the real world. So it's like a buffer. It's like a step right before you on your own. And that's why I'm not knocking these people who said it wasn't worth it to get a degree. But are you just equating worth to monetization because you probably got life lifelong friends. Like my wife has her two best friends or from college, right, you know what I mean, they're

friends with twenty plus years. And I also think that you touched on something that was powerful you said in terms of a lot of people go to college just to pass. Correct, it's about why you are there. But if you're there to learn and actually get something from the experience, you're going to have a different result than someone that's they're just to pass. That's true too. Like I didn't want to go to college, right, I was

a DJ. I wanted to do music, but in my family, I was the first person to go to college in my family. Wow, So my parents were like, no, you're going, Like they wanted me to go to more House and I was like, More House too far, like they wanted me to go. So for me it was I was doing it more for them than for myself. You're not a more house man. You went Hampton was good for you. I'm a Hampton man, sir, Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's nothing wrong. Hap man. I can call some my

More House people. Do you think he's a more house man? You call them? But I thought how you know how? Oh my god, I'm about to fight you here. I'm about I'm about to fight you a here my money. I've been fighting my whole life. Five a five one oh five one. We're talking about colleges this morning. Now what we were saying, I am majority of Americans now thinking think getting a college degree isn't worth What are

your thoughts? And they're saying fifty six percent of Americans now say a four year college degree is it worth the cost? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club the morning. It's topic time called eight hundred five five one oh five. Wanted to join it. So you're with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody's DJ NV Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. We have our co host b Scott here. Now we're talking a majority of Americans now thinking getting a college degree. Is

it worth it? Now? You went to which school? Carolina? Carolina? You got your degree? I didn't. Okay, So psychology, What were your thoughts on going to college. Have you learned a lot of the things that you know that you learned in college? Do you use them in quote unquote real life? No, I damn it, man. I think that what college did for me is just gave me a way of thinking. It gave me a basic knowledge that I use in everyday life. Do I remember the ins

and outs of all the particular courses. No, but I do remember the basics of how things work. And it also showed me that if I do this, I get this. I do this, I get this. It was my first time of being like I can put in the work and I get a certain result. And that translated to my life, like I now know if I put in the work, no one can touch that. It's like no one can touch my degree. But I do feel that

college just need to change to correct them a little bit. Yes, I think there's a lot of things that we should learn, whether it's investments, whether it's accounting, whether it's taxes. A lot of doing that in high school. Now my daughter, my daughter's school has had a financial literacy because I love that. I love that real estate things like that. I think they should be teaching us in college now. And college should be free. It should be like other countries.

You can go to college for free and you don't have that debt at the end. But I also believe there's a lot of financial aid. There's also different scholarships grants that people can't apply for, especially minority students. Well, unless the Supreme Court does what they're going to that affirmative. Yeah, let's go to the full lives. Hello. Who's this Hey, Preston, good morning? Are calling from Oh I'm coming from the Capital City. Okay, Now, what's your thoughts on college? You

think it's worth it or not? Yeah? In simple words, Yet it's going to expand on that. I think it's a big misunderstanding that just going to college is going to make it rest correct and that's not the case. Going to colleges and persiament of the studies and you know a lot of people actually go to college don't look too make a lot of money. They just look

to do something they want to do in life. That's true, But I also would say this too, And like Charlomagne said, and a lot of these schools, once you change the curriculum, you change the mind frame of a lot of the way that people think. I think a lot of times colleges teach you how to be a worker and not an investor, not an entrepreneur. And like even with my daughter school now, like they're teaching them how to be entrepreneurs. They are encouraging to sell bracelets and sell certain things

in design and make things. So what that is I can see my kids already being entrepreneurs and talking about business and how much this cost and how much is the investment? How much do you make back? So I think the curriculum really needs to change a lot of the guarantee that those people would afford to two percent. If you ask them why they think it's not worth it, they say as to debt. I bet you majority of

them say it. And one thing we didn't talk about too is that, um, I know they did this, Like Carolina is the intern ships. So I still will only have access to those in internships by being at college. So during the summers, I would be doing internships. I would be exploring once again before it became real. I think that's whack, but that's that's the true because even him, you have to be enrolled in college to do an

intern into breakfast. I'm only a radio personality because I was allowed to do an internship in nineteen ninety eight at ninety three Jams and Charleston Soft Before there was before you had to be in college to get one. But I thought you must say before there was radio a minute. But like you said, yeah, but think about it. Somebody now who probably came up the same way that you did, wouldn't get a chance of your internship, wouldn't be able to do radio because they are not enrolling.

Consolutely stupid. All right, Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey? What's your name? Brow Andrew? What's up? Talk to us? What's your thoughts? A long time listening? Um? I actually agree with you. I got my b A. And when I got out of college, I remember going to a job interview and the first thing they said was what was your job experience? And I was like, I just got out of college. I don't have any. So I didn't get that job. And actually the job that I got

was making penny until I got more experience. And the current company i'm at now, I've been there for over ten years, actually started listening to y'all around the same time I started the job. But it was a fight to get the position and didn't even getting you know, salary increases for the company. You know, just having a degree you walk in the door don't necessarily mean you're going to get a good position. That's true. It's just you know, you can go to college and you spend

all this money. I got a house that I'm not even living in that I'm paying for it right now, and it doesn't pay off financially when you have those loans on your credit and you're not making the money that you think you're going to make me go to college. That's why I said, I told you, I'm guarantee if you pull those forty two percent of people who say college degrees aren't worth it, all of them say it's

because of the student loaned that. But I won't say it too for I would say probably thirty percent forty percent of the money that I make is from my HBCU brothers and sisters. Yeah, the network, Like you know, somebody that works at let's say Pepsi and they hired me for something, or somebody that works for AT and T or somebody that works at State Farm or HBCU go.

It's a lot of my brothers and sisters that went to HBCUs, whether it was more House or Clark or a Spellman or Morgan State or that other HU now just joking, Howard or Hampton Morgan's like all of them. I get money from that. Keep the money around. My wife heard her three best friends she all she met him at the University of South Carolina. The best friends. Now they were her bridesmaid and their wedding. So that's

got to be worth it, right. Yeah. The alumni, yeah yeah, I'm not associ I mean even even our boss a pay at them and me. Of course, she went to Hampton University, and I think those are good places if you don't know what you want to do, or you do know what you want to do, or don't go to want to go to college for four years. I think the moral of the story of school is worth it.

College is worth it. I think so. I think so or I feel a little bad hit the two of my more House partners that asked him, could DJ Andry have been a more House man? One said yep. The other one said, hell yeah, we know three hundred light skinned negroes from New York. The other one said he would have been our version of DJ Cannon and Drama. Yeah, well, shout Cannon and Drama went to Clark, so shout the mars.

I actually got accepted to More House. My um, my uncle's or my cousins a professor there, and I love More House. I love shout to all those brothers out there. Well, you didn't scrag me as a more House man, but they said they're very diverse. They said they have every type of Negro from theo hu Huxtable to the wire corner boys. Great, well, I don't think you'd have been a more House man. I wouldn't have been a college.

But I think he's more like Morgan State, South Carolina State, More State doctor from I don't know anything about Morgan State, but that sounds like you're not gonna be allowed to go there anymore. I need a gavel. I went to visit Morgan State when I was looking at HBCUs and I remember me and my dad walked up and they were playing dice on the Morgan State and brothers from Morgan State just looked up from their dice games to day and said, man, how are you gonna do something

like that? We got rumors on the way, Yes we do. Um, I don't have in front of me what we're gonna talk about, but I think is something related to what's happening in prison in Um Georgia. Yeah, like the two gangs. Oh okay, yeah, all right, we'll get into that. Next to then moves to breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. Na, we beef for tomorrow. Nala morning everybody, and you you're asked tomorrow we are to breakfast. Gonna do l Wayne

versus fifty cent versus. Yeah, we're gonna do Wayne versus fifty cent versus tomorrow. Shout out to Nyla DJ l Simon. That's right, she's so cute. All right, Well let's get to the rumors. We have our co host Be Scott here. We'll be talking about the one and only Be Scott, and we're talking about our own versus. This is a versus, but this is a real life versus is happening in jail. So um, the two different cruise going on in Atlanta. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I gonna keep doing this to me.

This has been asking me to quite some tide on the Breakfast Club. I wasn't going to come to you guys, but I had it goes a little stufing like this, let's go be scary. Yes, the way that intro tickles my soul? Okay, so um, we have the Battle of the Games going on in Atlanta, Georgia. It is Young Thug and also why f Ends Lucci's games are going

at it in jail. So basically what apparently happened is one member from Lucci side had gagged and hank like well tie Ti Hi tot tide um a member from Young Thugs why Sel gang and was trying to scrape off the tattoo of from the gang. And I think we have the clip to Lake. I can't both of him. She won't cry when you And there's a short clip of that, and then there's an extended version of that, and the one that's on Twitter is truly disturbing evil as I just don't know how to even that type

of stuff. Disturbed your soul, That's what I'm saying. You shut up. I disagree both for y'all. And I'm gonna tell you why why you do know they alleged well, I'm not gonna say allegedly, but they stabbed wife and Lucian jail like they stabbed him like three or four times. So if you stabbed me, am I gonna have any remorse of what I do as revenge? No? Do you stabbed me first? Ye, you're right, but there's still levels of violence. I could have died. No, there's no level

that's torture. What you saw right there is disturbing torture. That's an evil human being. That's the type of person that will walk into your house, slaughter you all, your children, your wife, your grandma everyone. It wouldn't think twice about bro, this is war. You stabbed me, You tried to kill me. Hey,

you tried to kill me, take my life away. So now I have to be like, well, look, I gotta be nicer to you when you're telling me that wasn't pure evil what you heard just name it's all pure evil, way all pure. And I just hate more than the other. I just hate how community. Look. Oh man, I see a video like that, I'm like, whatever, the white man, does the Negroes like that? You guys just let happen? Oh, stop it? Okay, I don't. I don't want any prison reform for that. And that was wild. It needs to

be in the worst possible conditions. And what's wild is they tape it and then put it out. That's my point. And then also it was wild is that they're letting them do that. So where are the people, the election officers, correction officers, where are they at? And I don't even think that's prison. That's I think that's the county that still counting that county. I'm not sure. I think they're stilln county. Come on, man, that man got that's that's

that's a different level of evil. But but if you stabbed me, trying to kill me, im I supposed to think about what I you say, there's no levels to evil, right, if you try to kill me, there's no levels? No, Okay, So let me ask you a question. Um, Jeffrey Dahma wasn't on a different level of evil than somebody who might just walk up to you and shoot you. No, it's different because I'm you tried to kill me. Sure, not a person just je just trying to kill somebody.

You tried to kill me, but you mentioned that. This is good that you mentioned that, because that was so hard for me to just watch that whole situation with the Jeffrey Dahmer stuff, because it definitely glamorized the whole situation. It should not have been made into a series. We

did not need to see that. There were people online talking about, oh Jeffrey dahma was fine, Oh lord, you know what I mean that he preyed on black gay men like ate them up and were sitting there acting like I was like the culture sometimes you see certain things and you like throw it all the way, and this is one of the stories that that's how I feel. This is disturbing. I was like when I saw it, I was like, it's like, yeah, that was that's yeah,

that's I'm glad I'm not in that life. But if somebody tries to kill me, yes, I'm if I catch you. If you try to nobody like that, why not if you try to kill me and stand you're not torturing. That is something actually that I have been thinking about because you know, with all the robberies and stuff that's been happening in LA I was thinking about getting the gun, and I have to ask myself if someone came in

my house, would I actually use it? Yeah, if you know how to absolutely, I don't know, just for materialistic things that's ensure. How do you know how your life? How do you know? It's just they can be trying to kill somebody's exclusive material that you're protecting your life, somebody. If somebody comes in in my house not asking any questions because I don't know if you're coming for material things? Are you come to take my life? So you think I should get the pial and you should learn how

to use it? I think I think a black person in this country owning a legal firearm and knowing how to use it as a form of self care. How long are you in town for I take you the gun wrench? I am to Monday? Okay? Oh god um. And the next story we're talking about is Monique Monique again, is you know, letting the chop a fly? This time she's letting the chop a fly on CBS and paramount over unpaid royalties of the Parkers. So she's upset about

that she's seeking royalties upon the Parkers. She considers it a breach of contract lawsuit and is filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. The court documents reported that state reportedly state that the network officially depressed the show's profitability to retain millions that will otherwise the contractually due to Monique Production Company. So how do you guys feel about that? I think she should get every dime. And she said

something to her statement. I think she said that the producers got their money, and so the producers, you know, the producers knew about it and they sued to get their money. But talent is always the last to note, which is very true. So I think she should get every freaking set and I believe. And I have you

seen the special? Have you watched her? It was funny to me, and she took it so personal, like I did not affect her to keep it so real where she's talking about, you know, she was used to be in special ed And I was like, wow, I did see that part and it was like she was it was like she was crying one minute and then one minute she was laughing and making it funny. It was like I could feel the personal struggle in her. And I think this also represents that struggle she is fighting

for what she believes as hers. It is hers, yes, and just in general, I think Monique has been right about so much and and I think sometimes we as in black media, get on the wrong side of things, and I think with her we were on the wrong side of it. A lot of us were were And I'm happy to see that she's now coming for everybody that didn't do right by her. And I feel that same way, because you know that's what I did with BT. I'm if you do wrong by me, I don't care

if you black ball me. You got to get a coin out of bite. They snatched me off stage and so the girls today could stand on them. M Back in two thou thirteen, I was promoting the Red Carpet and they pulled me. How I looked, baby? I was too feminine, they said, they preferred the masculine looking Be Scott, we'll talk about it, my how times a chance, we'll talk about Hey, we come back and think to do nothing like that now? All right, Well, thank you be

Get your tickets now only in theaters April twenty first, Rated off

under seventeen, not admitted without a parent, owning. Everybody's dj n V Charlomagne the Guy, We are to Breakfast Club. We got our co host b Scott with us this morning. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Now you were talking about what happened with b et. Oh yeah, I feel like we need to save this for huh huh's prime time tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, I think we need to save this. This is a good one. Yeah it was. It was when I was doing my homework. I seen the story. It's good good. I mean, I

feel like, you know, in two I'm thirteen. It was I was hosting the Red Carpet and I was doing all of the you know, branded integrations with the Procter Gamble things and um, you know, leading up to that moment, I just felt like I wanted to be perfect. I was like, this is my time to shine. I'm going to do this. And when I arrived and started doing everything that I needed to do, um, a decision was

made to you know, to take me down. And I was on live television, so I was just somebody said, you know, bees to feminine looking right now, and we want to change the look. And so I was taken down. Adrian Byline was pulled from being I think she was just attending. I think she was just attending to taking my spot. I went and had was you know, had to change my clothes and pull my hair back, take off a lot of the makeup, and put on men's clothing. Um,

and then I was able to return. But in a co Hoke's capacity with Adrian byline, this is how you know so much of what those executives and these networks do is performative now because that wasn't that long ago. Absolutely ten years later you know that that you're so accepting to that because it takes a lot of people to have to make that call right. There was no pushback, like nobody said no, we're not doing that. And that's why I was. It was so important for me to

do the BT show. So the opportunity came about. UM shout out to big you know, biggle in no way. I call it biggling away because she makes big things happen for herself but also people like me. Um. She had shows on BT, she had Boomerang, and she also had Twenties. But every time she would be talking about the twenties and stuff, a lot of the people would keep bringing up what BT did to me. You know.

They would say, like the North still remembers like the Game of Thrones, and so one thing led to another. She was like, b how can we make this right? Because I want to make this right. I'm in a position with BT now where I can bring you to the table and we can figure it out, and so she arranged a call with Scott Mills and her and myself, And initially all I wanted was an apology. All I ever wanted from the beginning of all of it, which is say we were wrong for doing this tea. I

didn't care about the show. I make my money already, I've been making it. I'm an old school celebrity blogger. I get my money from the traffic, and so I've been doing good. So I just wanted to apology. But Lena's like, we're gonna get you more than an apology, and so, you know, and for me, I also wanted to forgive them. I wanted to change the narrative. I don't want to continue. I didn't want to continue going

through my life. This company did wrong by me, and so for me to be able to be the first trans non binary person to host an executive producer show at BT, it was beautiful. I had a wonderful experience with the new BT. All the people that were involved in that situation with me back then we're gone. So Scott Mills, you know, was amazing. The show went smoothly, and I'm just grateful to have been able to be a part of the inclusion we see today, you know, like I was able to see what I paved the

way for people didn't know that guy started. I moved to LA in two thousand and five, started doing videos in two thousand and seven, and I've always presented myself like this. Before there was language for it. Now, you know, the transgender non binary community, that's a whole situation, and it's in it's in the you know, like it's in

the it's like a thing. Now it's trendy. Yeah, it's trendy when I was Yeah, But when when I first started, I was like I would call myself and drogyness, and then it changed to gender not conforming, and then it was you know, now it was trans non binary. But my expression hasn't changed, you know, And so that was just beautiful for me. They're like damn. I was like,

I'm actually still made it. And when you are losing so many people in your life just because we're getting older, it was like, wow, I actually made it to this moment. The first episode of that show that I did, you know, the twenties after show would be Scott. It was just like I actually cried because I was like Damn. I was like, I'm here. I would never thought that the network that was snatching me down and taking me off stage would then give me my own show that I

would host and executive produce. Something that doesn't show you how God can move in somebody's life. You know, the person that's last one day could be first, and the person who's first could be last. A lot of those people that were snatching me down at BT are definitely last right now. Yeah, people will give Lena hell, but they don't realize a lot of the things that Lena does behind the scenes. For people like that, what you call it, I would tell you, I stayed to myself.

I don't have no click to Lena. Lena has advocated for me the likes that no one has in my entire career and she has. And what the first episode of the show she shared with me, She's like, Lena used to watch my videos and I helped encourage her to be the person she is today. People missed that part. I was just in my living room, dancing, being myself, talking about my experiences and just being free. But ningas

of people were watching back then. I think about it, Like Lena calls me often but I'm thinking about the majority of the calls that she's called me for in the last few months have all been to do with other people. Yeah, other things literally, like I'm literally including you. Literally, I've been about other people. Lena calls for something important and also Lena has the other day when she called it congratulators. But other than that, it's it's it's always

something to better humanity. Yes, and she helps me have a softer heart. Sometimes I can be very oh, you did this, I'm gonna do this, and she's like, nah, She's like, just help people, you know what I mean, Like, just put out the good energy. It's gonna come back to you. And I'm more open to not standing alone. Let me let me pay it forward like she does. And that's what like showing somebody in the way is so powerful. I agree, that's right. Shout away. My sneaker

game is still better than yours, Lena. We got the positive notes, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good morning Burning. Everybody is stej Envy, Charlemagne, the guy we all the breakfast club be Scott our co host is here. Oh yeah, he's got to be back tomorrow too. By the way, Oh yeah, it's got to be back tomorrow. I can't wait. I love this And you like waking up in the morning. I don't. But because I have an extra component that you guys don't like. I do GLAMR.

So like I woke up this morning at three, you know, I had to wake myself up, get my face acclimated. I don't want to scare the people when they show up. I got to pick my face and but no, I think that. But for you guys, once you get used to it, you used to it. Now it's your life. This is what you do. And I think if it was my life and something I was doing every day, then I would be used to it.
