What was a random shot? I'm everybody out there who's purchased the puppies? Yea, because I thought you're about to stay from someplace that has in general that pumpy.

Life is different because it's just like and.

Then you got two, yes, and like you got one, you got to he took train him.

I took the dog to the vet, and the vet was like, why would you get too why? She was like, it doesn't make sense. We get one tree one and then you get another one. It's like, it just made sense. I wanted sisters and wanted like together. She was like, that was dumb, And now I realized what it means.

No, that was white.

But you should always get somebody to do your dog the way? Did he did? Kick cut his dog?

Lack of them seemed to get that dog seemed to get in line, didn't he No.

I'm not heard from the dog again. Really yeah, but these two dog men are kicking my ass. But I'm enjoying it though. So, but just to let you know, you got to walk each individual dog by himself, so you can't walk them together. No, because she said, want to overpower the other one? Mmm, so I have to walk one and bring it back in, and then walk the other one and then bring it back in.

I think she meant that them two dogs will overpower your old ass she was trying to tell you in a nice way.

Maybe that too. And I called my daughter and my son this one. I thought, y'all gonna help, like with the with the dog. Since that's zad I got to go to the gym at twelve twelve.

We got a lot of good d ms from the national I don't know if it's a national, but the down syndrome on a different agencies and.

The fact that we let that young man or I don't know how old he is, let that brother come up here and rap and let him, you know, talk to you that like they did.

They see the strip tease? Did they see the dance?

Did they? And nobody cares about you?

Excited the fact that we had Big Chris up here.

I enjoyed Big Chris. I always enjoyed Big Chris.

Nice, I'm okay, thank you so much, Okay, sure, okay, right, all right, Well, let's get the show cracking front page news when we come back as the Breakfast Club.

Good morning morning, everybody, it's j N v Ess, hilarious, Charlamagne the God.

We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news.

What's up Morgan, Hey y'all, Hey, how y'all feeling Hey, good, okay, we love to hear that.

First off front page.

More updates on this attack out of Boulder, Colorado. Now, the FBI says Mohammed Sabrey Solomon planned the attack and Boulder on Sunday for over a year. In court document, Solomon said he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov cocktails. Yeah, he's a husband and a father of five, and he allegedly planned or said that he had planned the attack for one year but waited until his daughter graduated to

Any individual, especially illegal criminals, who engage in acts of terrorism will be held accountable under this president. This terrorist came into our country under the previous administration. Joe Biden's administration foolishly gave him a tourist visa and that allowed him to unlawfully remain in our country.

She went on to say this person should have been deported a long time ago. And of course, President Trump said the attack will not be tolerated in the United States of America, and he added that the suspect came in through Biden's quote ridiculous open border policy, and he quote must be he must go out under Trump policy.

Now.

Meanwhile, Governor Colorado Governor jareded Polis, he spoke yesterday in Denver saying there doesn't appear to be an extended conspiracy involving the Boulder fire attack suspect, and he's confident the suspect will have his day in court. Let's take a listen to Colorado Governor Jarrett Polis and his comments.

At this point, we have no reason or information that there was any type of extended conspiracy, although that investigation continues.

I'm confident he'll be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Of course, the suspect, Mohammed Sabriy Salomon, as mentioned before, is accused of using a makeshift flamethrower and malotov cocktails in Sunday's attack, which seriously injured eight people. He's already been charged with a federal hate crime, and the forty five as mentioned before, as well as the forty five year old a gemption man was in the US legally.

Let me ask you guys a question when it comes to lot is I notice is a small part of the problem. But the fact that people can actually google some of these things Google how to make a mouse for a cocktail, whatever you call it, or Google how to make a ghost gun, or google how to make a bomb. Sud we be cutting some of these off things off online where people just can't get access to it that fast.

Yeah, it's true.

And then to your point, as you were saying previous in previous days about how they're going to moving forward, some students will be vetted on social media.

I'm sure that could be a thing as well.

It's like what have you been looking up, what have you been googling, what have you been researching? And so maybe that could add to essentially that vetting process.

But yeah, you know, people who want to kill you, people who want to harm you, they gonna find a way and you know, this is a sad, sad situation. And Harry, I don't know how to combat this level of bigotry. I don't know how to combat this level of prejudice. If I did as a black person, I would have made it stop a long time ago.

Just make it a little more difficult though, the fact that you can google how to make a bomb.

And then it give you step by step.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the bigotry and the prejudice and the racism and the anti Semitism that fuels people to do these type of things. I don't know how to make that stop. Like I said, if I as a black person, I would have made this stop a long time ago for us, all right, And this is what this is just who some people in this world are.

Sad.

It just it just is very very sad, very deep rooted. But I will keep you guys posted as to what happens with that story.

Uh.

That's US front page News for six a m. At seven am. Stick around. We're still talking about Trump's so called big Beautiful.

Bill, and we're still on the topic for.

Whatever reason of Joe Biden's mental health decline.

So we'll talk about that because.

You know why we're still on that topic, because we're on that topic because the Trump administration is here because of that mental decline.

And I also want to say, this is why.

Whenever you see bigotry, or you see prejudice, or you see racism or anti semitism of any kind, you should speak out against it. Although Martin Luther King Junior said, an injustice anywhere as a threat to justice everywhere.

That's right.

Yeah, we do so push your tea, sat down with g Q and spill all the beans.

He said death.

Jim tried to censor him, we'll send your Kendrick Lamar on the Clips new album, and he was not going to do it. So eventually they all right, all right, okay, it's a lot.

All right, it's a lot. We'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast clo.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Morning everybody, steej Envy, just hilarious.

Charlamagne to God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest.

Lauren wanna be coming the street things.

She gets them, somebody that knows somebody.

I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

She'd be having the latest on you, The Latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything.

It's the latest the Breakfast Club.

Okay, y'all, so let's get into this Push Your T clips conversation. So Push Your T and his brother Malice sat down with GQ and they had a conversation about everything where music is now and the fact that you know, they have their first album coming out.

It's been fifteen years.

But one of the biggest questions that a lot of people had is why has it taken so long? And according to Push You T, he says that depth Jim tried to censor Kendrick Lamar's verse on a song that they have on the album, and eventually it turned into a back and forth censer it, take the song off, and then from there it went to them eventually dropping clips and Push Your T solo and then them moving on.

Well, it hasn't been fifteen years because of that.

It was fifteen years because you know, the one brother gave up rap at one time and allow to do Christian rapper.

Yes, and now they got back together.

Doing it, But I mean they dropped the press release over the summer, and over the summer. When they dropped the press release, and then remember they tease the song at the LV Fashion Show, people thought that it would going to be like a lot sooner than right now than today. So that's what I'm referring to. But so what happened was when that press release dropped a lot of people realized that there was no mention of dev Jam, which was a thing because clips that their whole deal

And instead they.

Actually attributed attributed the distribution in the marketing to Jay Z's Rock Nation. So in the GQ article, Pusha t talks about, you know, they were really excited they went to death Jam.

They were proud.

They thought that, you know what I mean, like everything was moving how was supposed to move. And then Deth Jim heard the song Chains and Whips, which is a song that Kendrick Lamar's on, and they weren't they weren't

So push your t's like, well, that was dumb.

The issue here, nobody's censoring. I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm sure f JM wanted the sense to Kendrick because they in the middle of this lawsuit with Drake. Yes, I guarantee you that has something to do with that long of course.

Yes.

Uh So, according to Push Your Tea, the lawyer's name was Steve Galley, and he says that they're what he believes is their issue was that, you know, you got two of Drake's biggest like arch enemies, right who were on this song and they're UMG's in the middle of m they're in the middle of this lawsuits that are like, no, we can't, like, we don't want any more fire. Let's just sit back and push your t's Like, well, basically

Jam should be ashamed of theyselves. Okay, record label censor and artists. What happened to my freedom of speech?

Russe Russell Simmons would never be his president, jay Z would never when he was president, Leo Covid, Leo Cohen would never when he was president Vin never Like, like I said, freedom of speech allow him to say what he wants to say.

That makes no sense at all.

Yeah, I mean I agree.

But and by the way, albums like the Clips are the type of albums deaf Jam should be putting out. So I call that adult contemporary hip hop like like artists that you know are just timeless and classic death Jams is supposed to represent a timeless, classic label.

That's the type of project they should be one hundred percent behind.

Well, that was the origin of deaf Jam in the streets, right when you see all this, like we can go back from jay Z to GZ to.

The Clips, like that's the origin of death Jam.

That's what built death Jam, you know, that's what that's that's why this is really really weird.

Yeah, I agree, and I also think too, I think it's certain artists that you can kind of play around with like this.

I don't think I don't think they don't.

Yeah, I don't think that it was smart for them to even approach them directly, indirectly, whatever, with something like this, as if they're not they're going to care, they're going to be quiet about it.

I just bad press for a label that doesn't need it. Not right now, Just bad press for no reason.

Not right now.

I've grabbed one of the photos and for the listeners, please go take a look at the GQ interview because they look so good in their photos. Shoot, they're all black, and they have a ton of different photos, and in the interview they're actually in a sprinter with the writer of the article trying to just find food and are just having a conversation about music and where music is now.

And those they've aged very well, not just as artists but as humans. Like you know, when you get to a certain age, that's what you look at. I don't care about your designer, I don't care about your cars, your jury. What do you look like? Is your skin, clip eyes white. Are you mentally and physically in shape?

That's what I like.

Yeah, I agree.

They've always been like that.

They always been on their workout regimen, they always been on their eating good food regimen. And they're all about family. So that's the main purpose of the clip slue to the clips.

I also appreciated Malice's perspective when he was talking about how you don't have to address everything, yes, and how artists feel the need to talk back today fans and he was like, you know, you talk about you can see people's egos taking over and folks never learned to sit down. And he said, you can rise above that eternally if you are a peace with yourself.

They plan out, they plan out.

If you don't know them and you know, hopefully they'll come up here, they plan out everything. They plan out the next five years of where they want to be with fashion and music and their investments. They plan out everything. They are very like, They are very methodical when they come to the way that they think about that.

Yeah, I know.

And one of the other things too that well, first of all, I thought that that was a good take for all us because he's the type he just sits back.

He doesn't really get involved in anything whatsoever.

But even in this article he's talking a lot more about He talks about like he feels like he's watched the engine leave rap where like he left and he took a step away, he came back and things are

So I would love to hear a whole verse on the new clips up. That would be the cherry on top. I don't need it, but I would love to hear a whole.

Both always comes through for them, So I'm the assuming that I'm sure you get a whole verse on that.

I would hope.

So yeah, yeah, Well make sure you guys go check out that g Q article. That is it for the first come out So sorry. The article on the album comes out July eleventh. It's called uh, let God sort them out? And right now they have their single, you have their single.

Play it right now. I'm sure it's not trumpetson.

No, we don't have in the system.

But I need to hear that we played it during then we played during past, Yeah we did.

Yeah, so we should have it somewhere in the system.

But yeah not, they only played a thing of it. I can play, I'll send it in, I'll send it over.

Okay, it'd be like Nigga DJ.

He ain't got nothing.

It's not my system, and I got it.

I got it.

This is not you better stop because pople really picked the music up.

You know what I'm playing.

When you blazed the trump when you blazed the clips this morning and you don't have the.

Music clips is Miamis. But let me come back.

That's what me.

I should have reminded you this.

I'll send it over methodical and articulating the way to be.

That's my home.

But he bought the baby oil in the room.

Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah he just didn't. You know what's so crazy? You show you people all of a sudden, you.

Know, I wish to love you was glazy.

Break in the room is all that's a crime to bringing the baby in the room.

You are complicit and be you brother say you didn't do that.

What the hell are you talking about?

She's been.

Don't bring no baby or in no rooms not just want no enterprise.

Listen to you. Okay, let's do this. Let's play an O G Clips record.

We got to pull that up now to you know, to take along with these old computers.

Damn we loaded.

I always thought Dave Heavy birthday to Dave East and Jill Biden, Jill Bid, Yeah, Anderson Cooper to birthday.

That's a nice little mash up everywhere. Well, yes, Michelle education by.

His I'm good. It's the Clips Classic. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, front page news.

Next you're checking out the Breakfast Club.

Morning everybody.

It's dj NV just hilarious. Charlamagne to god. We are the Breakfast Club. Now let's get back to some front page news.

Oh hey, I'm like, oh, that's I usually like when you say hot to me, good morning.

He appreciated. We can put a toss my bag, y'all. So yeah, As mentioned in the last.

Hour, uh, the topic of former President Joe Biden's mental health is still a topic, uh for former Vice president. Excuse me, Former President Bill Clinton is defending former President Joe Biden when it comes to claims regarding the decline of his mental health while he was in office and running for re election.

Now.

Clinton made the comment speaking to CBS Sunday morning. Let's take a listen to what he had to say about former President Joe Biden's mental health.

I thought he was a good president. Only concern I thought he had to deal with was could anybody do that job? Until they were eighty six and we did several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking he can't do this anymore. He was always on top of his brief. I saw President Biden hover long ago, and I thought he was in good shot.

So what are your thoughts there?

Clinton was actually on the show promoting his new book, The First Gentleman.

So I think Bill.

Clinton is holding the party line, and you know, we don't need anybody that's continuing to hold the party line to the detriment of the country, because that's what happened

But the sad thing about is we said it right, We've seen it, and we got ish for people saying that that's not true, this, that and the other, that's not happening.

But we all seen.

It was and we ain't never met him. I ain't never met the man. You mean to tell me that those of us who never met the man saw it, but people that.

Used to see him on the regular didn't see it.

Cut it out.

Well, I think it's just a matter of what you saw and where you might have saw it. Because I was around and very heavily involved with the Biden administration and covering the Vitamin administration. I had been around him during the time where people were saying he was he was on his mental decline, and I will say from a personal perspective that he was just old. It wasn't giving that he wasn't sharp, he just was old.

And remember that was just my and that was just.

You know, the contradiction that Bill Clinton said in that interview, because I watched that whole interview this weekend.

He said that.

He said that, but then he turned around and said, but you know, I did question if he could do that job until he was eighty six.

Yes, he was saying that anybody could do the job until they were eighty six because the oldest person would do it.

I mean, that's what I'm but he's the person. He's the guy. You can't just say anybody. He was the guy that was close to eighty six.

And nobody was attacking it.

I think if you had a family member that had dementia, and like mother had dementia, you've seen signs from that. Joe Biden had that, I seen gis mom had, right, I seen th same type of signs. So that's worried me. And if you voted me in somebody you have questions, and the fact that I feel like they were lying, you know, concerns me a lot.

Of course, the concern for sure was legitimate, but you know whether or not you know what was going on. But I'm where I'm standing right now, is trying to figure out why why is it still a topic of conversation, But you're saying it is because we are where we are right now.

So I think it's a topic of conversation because you shouldn't learn from history, and you know, they just put out the book The Original Sin, but based off Bill Clinton's logic. If that's the case, then we should never discuss what any president does after they are no longer president. We shouldn't discuss Barack Obama's legacy, we shouldn't discuss Clinton's legacy, we shouldn't discuss George wish legacy based off what Clinton is saying. Once a person is out of office, we

Tell them how you really feel. All right, We'll moving on another news. House minority leader, also a Democrat, Hiqum Jeffries, is among lawmakers raising alarms over President trump so called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Now, Jeffries was in attendance at a rally in Brooklyn on Sunday alongside New York Governor Kathy Hoecol to detail concerns about what will happen if the US Senate passes the act. Let's take a listen to Hikien Jeffries.

You know, the GOLP tax scam is not one big beautiful bill. It's one big ugly bill that will hurt every day Americans, hurt every day New Yorkers, and it's designed to reward that billionaire donors like Elon Musk So.

Jeffries also warned and others warned that it will impact federal funding to Medicaid, causing many of those to lose health insurance. Now, Trump has said that cuts our targeting waste and fraud and us on. The US at Senate is expected to take up the bill this week. They are officially back in session today.

Now.

New York Governor Kathy Hockle also heavily criticized the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers over a number of issues.

She says the.

Republican led plan to make steep cuts to Medicaid is taking from the poor and giving to the rich, and a reversed. What's the I'm sorry, reverse what is it not Peter Pan? Who does who takes from the rich and give to the poor?

Thank you?

And a reverse Robinhood type of situation.

She says she can't promise that all of her hospitals will stay open in New York. So this is going to impact New Yorkers if this bill to cut medicaid becomes law.

Let's take a listen to New York Governor Kathy Hockel.

This is a level of attack that is was unforseeable, but it has to be stopped. What they're proposing is basically reverse robin Hood. They're taking from the poor to give to the rich, and people need to rebel against that. If we lose three billion dollars for hospitals, I can't say we're going to be able to keep all of my hospitals open. I cannot say that right now.

They have to back off.

So Hochl also went on to say that it's hard to protect people from disease if COVID vaccines are no longer being recommended for healthy children and pregnant women, as just stated by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior and She also says she'll stand up for immigrant rights when testifying at a houseover site committee in about a week. So, as I mentioned that Big Beautiful Bill is now being

Alrighty, thank you Morgan. All right, well we come back.

Three time w NBA champion, two time Olympic gold medalist, and she has a new book, The Can Do Mindset. Candace Parker will be joining us and we're gonna talk to her next. So don't go anywhere.

It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Morning.

Everybody is DJ Envy, just hilarious, Charlamagne the gud. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

Yes, indeed, the.

Legend, Candas Parker.

Welcome.

Thanks for having me off. How you feeling nice being in the room? Goodness man, nice having you.

You know you're one of those people like you know, people always say like, who would you ever want an interview, and you really be like, I don't know because you can't really think of nobody. But then when you see you on the schedule, you're like, oh, Candas Parker, I love to have a conversation with Candas Parker.

I appreciate you.

I really enjoyed your book, That Can Do Mindset, How to cultivate resilience, follow your heart and fight for your passions.

Can you break down why you called it the can do mindset.

Yeah, growing up nickname can short for Candace, you know that. But my mom, I grew up with two older brothers, eight and eleven years older than me. And fast forward, my oldest brother played ten years professionally, played alongside Lebron for years. My middle brother became a doctor, and so I just saw these enormous role models that were doing so many great things. And I think sometimes I doubted myself, and so my mom from the time I was little two three years old, she'd always see.

The doubt in my mind.

She'd always be like, can do. And it just became my mantra, and it became my voice in my head. And I mean it took me through high school knocking down game winning free throws to shoot even now. And so then it became an acronym for community authenticity, navigating negativity, loving the dash, which is the journey in between and seizing and creating opportunity.

Well, congratulations. On August twenty fiftieth, Jersey will be retired, well deserved.

How does that feel to go back home to Chicago.

I grew up in Naperville and I grew up a Chicago Bulls fan. I mean they won six championships in the nineties when I was living there, and so it became synonymous with winning.

So to go back and.

Play basketball in front of the people that first saw me pick up a ball, and then to win a championship in front of the people that first saw me play basketball, I don't think. I mean, that was super special. I couldn't have written it any better. And you know, I think, first you dream of a championship being up in the rafters, and second you dream of.

Your jersey as well.

You know, I think it was in the authenticity section of the book you were talking about, you know, being competitive, right, and how people don't let women be competitive the way that the men are. So when you see and I know you get this all the time, but when you see the Caitlin Angel rivalry or whatever you want to call it, isn't that just women being competitive?

I think it's women being competitive.

But honestly, I think that the more visibility you get, the more scrutiny you're gonna get.

I mean, that's just nature. As women.

I think society always tries to put you in a box. So as athletes, we fit outside that box. You're either too muscular, you're not competitive enough. But then when you show competitive nature, it's not ladylike. So whatever you do as a woman, I feel like until we break that mold in society where it's like okay for us to be fierce competitors, I think you're always going to have a different narrative. And so yeah, I look at it like it's competitive and it's two people going at it,

You know, make it something it's not. So I don't know.

I'm just excited where women's sports is in general right now, because people are talking about it, people know the names, people are following the brands, and a lot of it has to do with the visibility of it. Women's courts has always been there, it's just the matter of people tuning in and paying attention. And I think organizations, broadcasters all that giving it a chance to succeed, not putting it head to head up against NFL, not putting it head to head up against.

Finals or MLB or whatever.

And so I think now we're seeing more women's basketball, and because of that, I think that's why it's grown.

The reason I have I watched a lot of women's basketball, and I've been watching Angel since college, so since even that Kitlin incident, I've seen her and Leah Thomas have a little kerfuffle like she's always getting into it with somebody. But it's not the same reaction from people. It's just to me, it's just like women out there playing ball.

They're being competitive, and I think ballplayers know that, but now you're getting the casual fans that don't understand that type of basketball. So I think it's a competitive nature. Now, are there things that cross the line. Yes, are there comments and you know, discussions behind things as cross the line one hundred percent, and I think, you know, we have to get that under control. But to me, I think half the time is more competitive than anything.

But its rivalry as well. I remember, you know, Reggie Miller with the chokes on. We you know, we still want action with him regardless. It's still thinks that's gonna make the press push it a little more.

By the way, I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry about what happened. Yeah, okay, though, can I.

Say maybe next year listen. I'm a Bulls fan, so you know we're at about it. If you're not first, your last. So technically we weren't even in the playoffs, so it's okay, And.

I want to ask you know you dominated the w NBA broadcast a mom author which was the most difficult journey?

Motherhood is a journey that is the greatest gift, gives you the most rewarding feeling, but it's also the hardest job that you can have. You think you have it figured out, and then you have another kid, or you think you have it figured out, and there's another stage

Doing what I'm asking them to do?

And so I think motherhood is one of those things where I'm just so grateful for it. I'm so grateful for my daughter and what, you know, us being able to kind of go through my career and grow up together and fumble and bump and live across the water and all of those things. And then I'm super grateful to be able to now take a moment with my sons and be able to have a different type of perspective in motherhood and parenthood.

What part of your personality do you think was misunderstood the most during your planning career and this book helped you to, like, I guess, reclaim in that.

What's so crazy to me is I think when you're going through just trying to figure stuff out, you're just trying to figure it out, like that's what you're trying to do, but you're going through life trying to like mask it. And for so many parts of my life during some of my greatest triumphs, winning championships, winning MVPs, I was going through struggles behind the scenes within motherhood and balancing that within relationships, within you know, trying to figure out how.

To be authentic and who I am.

And I think the person that I became in that process and who I was for my teammates wasn't always great.

So I think who I am.

People may have had a different idea, you know what I mean. And I wasn't always proud of the way that I treated my teammates or how I showed up to work every day. But sometimes when you're just trying to show up and you're trying to make it, you know that's the best that you can do. So I think I kind of like went through that and processed that in writing this book.

What was the most difficult thing you had to write in a book? The one difficult thing? He was like thought about maybe I should take out or you cried or it was that hard.

It's really difficult to tell stories that need to be told that aren't going to paint certain people in a positive light, And I think I struggle with that because I like to take the blame. I like to take the onus on myself in games and losses and mishots and whatever. I like to say that I've always had

But still kicking it with Candas Parker Charlamagne, Have your greatness ever made you feel isolated? Like people only saw kandas park at a player, but not candas pokertive person.

You know, it's so crazy.

You know in basketball, there's like a finite time, right, the ball is going to eventually stop bouncing, you know, father time. I mean, Lebron has kind of proven that's not the case, but for most of us. But it's like your identity becomes the game, Like you keep the main thing, the main thing that's been my gift my whole life, basketball has been the main thing. I gave up prom like left prom to go to basketball, lived

I mean, I love basketball. It was my first love.

And so I think, yeah, like separating my identity from that, And I was very conscious of trying to show people like I am a history buff, I love to travel, I'm a foodie, I love wine, tequila connoisseur like all of those things. I'm so much more than just basketball. And so having that separation, I know is like huge for athletes. It is a struggle, like talking to people that have retired and have gone and walked that path.

Because it is it is a death a little bit.

Wellree with my family, honestly, my wife, I'll say my brother as well. My oldest brother went through this and he seamlessly transitioned. I planned the transition ahead of time. You know, I started commentating gosh way back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, I started transitioning. I started doing more business and paying attention and wanting to be at the table and in meetings and things like that. So the transition occurred before it officially the ball of fish.

We stopped bouncing, but.

Boy, there were days where I'd wake up and it's just like you missed that feeling of walking in eighteen thousand people are screaming your name, and like the feeling of like your family's identity is that like they plan their summers around when my games were, or.

Trips or Medino.

Since a kid, you've been.

Doing it, and it's crazy because you realize, although I don't like attention, that's not what I played basketball for. It's an event you go play, everybody watches you play, the attention your parents give it is and then afterwards everybody's like where are we going to eat?

You go eat.

Then it's like you know, and it's like you don't realize how much of that is a part of your life. And so for me, I think that was the hardest thing. But like I said, I have my family. We had my son last year and he just was like he had the ability to make me stop and realize, like that's where I was supposed to be. I've always been fifteen million different places, and so I think, honestly, my son heart made me really appreciate retirement because I got to enjoy all the little things.

Jealous is not the right word, but do you ever get jealous or feel away when you look at the way MW NBA players are treated now than when you guys played. I just remember, like two three years ago, I was on a plane flying from Atlanta and.

There was some players from the Atlanta team.

They were on the back of the plane and they couldn't get first class seats and they were riding and they were struggling, and they know they even said and talk this, talk about this on the radio. But now when you see and they're starting to fly private and they start to make a little more money, they start making endorsements. Do you ever feel a way like.

Damn, you got to you got to shield a little bit of that.

I don't want them to have to go through what we went through. But I also know that Cheryl Miller, who never got to step foot in the WNBA, didn't want me to not have have a league to play, do you know what I mean? And so I think like, yes, sometimes would it have made Would I scored more points if we had a private flight waiting for what I would have made more?

Would I have made more like school performances?

If I could get back the night of the game and been able to sleep and rest and recover what I probably had a lot fewer injuries one hundred percent. But I feel like I'm proud because I know my name will be mentioned in the conversation of those that made it possible today, like made the things possible today. I remember flying commercial in Premium Plus in a middle seat next to Sylvia Fowls, going to play them in the Game five of the WNBA Finals.

We like wrestled over the arm rest I.

Won, but like they won the game, but I won the arm ress battle, and I remember thinking like, this isn't how it's supposed to be. But now on the other side, I want ownership, like I want to own a team, like I want to be a part of that in making it better as well. So I can't

Do you think the world has truly reckoned with how different your career would be if you were a man with the exact thame time.

I talk about it a lot. Yeah, McDonald's all American.

In two thousand and four, Dwight Howard and myself, we were the number one players.

I was woman's he was ment and I.

Actually there's a blurb in the book where him and I went to prom when I was in high school and our trajectories were so different after.

That day, and I was angry.

I remember being angry because like inside my house, my mom and Dad, you can do and be anything, and you know at that point you couldn't have an il money. So I'm watching, you know, my quotes beyond shirts sold, I'm watching everybody in Knoxville wearing my Journey jersey, and I'm eating Papa John's.

Before games because the school can't even pay for my meal because it was illegal at the time.

And so in the book, I talk about kind of like I was really upset because yes, he's six', ten, big, strong but he had this league laid out that was already, growing that had already been through the growing pains of WHAT i was about to go. Through and THEN i

Young.

Wow.

Wow another part of the, BOOK I love You.

Know it was interesting to read about how you came to grow to love your, wife, right and it had me thinking what because you, did like, guys but have you thinking like what else about?

Yourself did you realize this is this just isn't.

Me what's so interesting IS i Think i've spent my entire life standing, out and somehow in that, process SOMETIMES i did things just to stand out and not really listen to myself and WHO i wanted to. Be and that's kind of opposite of What i've always tried to live. By and for a long, time it took my daughter really being like are you? Happy you, know for me to really look myself in the mirror and, say AM

In and that's what happened with my.

WIFE i, mean she's my best friend and she's been there through the ups and, downs AND i think it was about like her AND i both being, like wait a, Minute like are we allowing other people's judgments to dictate the next thirty or forty? Years Like i'm going to allow My instagram followers to really determine WHO i say good morning to and WHO i say good night to every single. Night AND i had to take a step

Looking myself in the, mirror when did you?

Realize WHEN i didn't fight, IT i would, say we were at a.

Museum i'm a big. NERD i love like all types of.

Museums and it was her, mind like it was her knowledge and like just her ability to carry a. Conversation and my brother says something when when her AND i got, married my brother said something that really stuck out to, me and he, said you, Know cannie needs somebody that's strong enough to put her in her, place but soft enough where she feels vulnerable and the ability to like kind of like lay your head on her shoulder and be that vulnerable.

Person and WHEN.

I REALIZED i was doing, that you, know she would say something AND i wouldn't have any, Response and at first some of my friends were.

Like hold, on who is? She like you know WHAT i, mean because that's not normally what.

Happens and then the same thing WHERE i would confess things that were bothering me or have issues.

And be comfortable enough to. SHARE i think that's that's WHAT i.

NOTICED i was still kicking it With Candice PARKER XW nba, player two Time olympic gold, medalist and her new Book That Can't Do mindset is out right.

Now, charlamagne did the people in your life know how difficult it was for you to KEEP i guess her a? Secret BECAUSE i, mean like in the book YOU i, MEAN i got. FUN i got frustrated when you was talking about how you wanted to tell your brother but you didn't tell Your mother'm.

Like just tell.

Him he loves, you you.

Know but did they know or they going to read this book and realize for the first, Time, like, DAMN i didn't know it was that.

Serious i've been on the other side of it Where i've been the person that has been like everybody.

Knows just say, it just tell.

Him BUT i think everybody comes to grips with it at a different. TIME i know we live in a world that has pride month and has all these, things but it is scary because you are put in another. Category you, Know i'm already in, two so Now i'm going to be put in a. Third and with someone that isn't, black She's russian and, white and, SO i, MEAN i think it's one of those things where it's like what AM i getting myself? Into AND i know my family's gonna love. Me my brother was amazing throughout

Treated and so.

We couldn't go through this process ourselves and help others go through. It so we had to do it, ourselves be okay with, it be strong, enough and then you, know go forward with.

It can you can't rush.

It the, Sexuality, paul was one aspect of, it but you also talked about the race aspect of, it like you really can with Doctor umar thought that.

Much, No but it's a different dynamic when you walk, it you know WHAT i. Mean, like first of, all like even with our, kids it's like you, know they have a black mom and a white, mom and you, know it's like navigating the race element and the conversations we've grown up in two completely different, Countries so having those conversations like she's not coming from a place of understanding through experience and so, like even so we're confident

Up that makes. Sense have there ever been a time where you dimmed your light to make others feel, comfortable especially in rooms full of?

Men you, know it's so. FUNNY i, WAS i was sitting on the shop.

And it was With Draymond green bron was, there mav was, there and they were, like you, know people don't understand what it's like to be a black man and be the only one in the.

Meeting AND i was looking, around like what y'all really just said? That like read through you know WHAT i?

Mean SO i think sometimes you have to pick your battles a little. Bit as a, teammate my job is to make those around me. Better so same thing when you're sitting at these, Tables like the point isn't to make people feel stupid or feel. Small the point is to make them understand the need for different voices at the. Table AND i would say diversity of. Thought i've sat at so many tables and been the Only i'm, comfortable

You you, know you're.

Trying to be one of the. Guys, like, No i'm trying to be one of the. Players that's, It so treat me as. Such the WAY i see the game is way different than shack, shack throw the ball down, low barbecue chicken.

Shack other people have to do. Moves we can't just we just.

Can't, Yes but like the way he played was just so dominant that he doesn't understand that people have to do stuff to. Score he's, like just throw it down there and. Score and it's, Like cat can't do.

That he's not do you know WHAT i.

Mean i'm not, saying But cat can't do, that D wade AND i.

Can we can't do.

That we have to do moves and use the mental aspect and element of. It BUT i feel like the value that is brought to the table if you had fifteen shacks what you know as, analysts but he brings value to the equation because he was so, dominant and it gives you a bird's eye view of like, dominance and SO i just think anytime you have different people at the, table you're gonna bring different perspectives like why? Not and so it just drives me. CRAZY i Watched First.

It's like he has.

But it's just because you know he's a. Man and SO i just am continuing to fight that. Stigma i'm open for the. Challenge i'm up for. It grew up with two older. Brothers all we did was make fun of each, Other So i'm. GAME i can speak that. Language but it's just having the opportunity to like separate, myself like don't like me as an, analyst but don't not like me Because i'm a.

Woman that's my.

Thing if they're A wnba, teammate you didn't appreciate in the, moment but now you realize that person was.

Vital oh that's a, really, really really great.

QUESTION i would SAY i appreciated her in the, moment BUT i don't THINK i appreciated her enough in the. MOMENT i would say Definitely Delicia Milton. JONES i think she's someone and that was in the league for such a long, Time she had such an amazing, career, longevity won championships with the, sparks played different, roles played key, roles came off the bet like she did it all and SO i think she genuinely wanted me to. Succeed and you, KNOW i was a rookie when she was,

Me and you, know you talk about a lot of things in the, book but what's something you haven't forgiven yourself for, yet even if nobody else knows about.

IT i would SAY i struggled for a long time in the closing seconds of games, Mentally, WOW i did because.

The results didn't work out for.

ME i talk about that a lot in this, book about how NAIVE i. Was my rookie, year we lost by a last second. Shot nine years, LATER i was still losing by last second, shots AND i felt myself in those moments tense. Up when PRIOR i would relish in those moments LIKE i would Be i'd want the, ball AND i would find myself shying away from those moments BECAUSE i had conceded to the fact that it was just not going to work.

Out and it took my.

Brother it took me finally realizing how to relinquish results and just live in the, process the dash.

Right enjoying the.

Journey it took A Kobe bryant text message to me that was, like it's better the hard. Way you don't die with bullets in the chamber right like you go down. Shooting it was that text message and just the support from my family and friends that allowed me to win the. Championship and it came down to the closing, moments and in those, MOMENTS i.

Just played and it could have not worked.

Out it could have worked, out BUT i just since that, time WHEN i, Lose i'm not in bed for four or five, days Like i'm gonna commit to the.

Process i'm gonna commit to the.

Grind i'm gonna honestly try to stay at that like even even keeled, mentality and that's in life as. Well AND i wholeheartedly believe things will work out the way that they need.

To All, right can just talk ladies and. Gentlemen can't do mindset out right, now go get.

Either so yesterday in court Witnessed mia who was the former personal assistant Of, diddy that alleged that she was raped three three times she talked about in, court but more than three, times and that she was like physically assaulted at work and all of these.

Things was on the.

Stand Brian, Steele Young thugs attorney was doing her cross which is where you know he's questioning her For diddy from didty side of it? Right complete Pitbull WHEN i tell you he went at her like straight at. Her he called, her you, know sexual assault, claims a me too money. Grab he told her she was a liar while on the, stand to the point where the judge had to stop the back and forth got questioning and

Looked like it helped or.

Hurt at, FIRST i thought it was hurting because she's up there talking about she can't remember certain things when it comes to her sexual assault or she doesn't know why she kept reaching back out to diddyva text and different things after she was no longer an employee with, him and after she received a settlement after they decided to go split ways as an employee because of mental.

Like a.

Those little, boards like a yeah something paddle. Board she says she had to get on a paddle board at one point to get away from him during like one of his like alleged like crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah and then The Prince party.

Incident uh did that alleged incident When diddy came out and was trying to drag her And cassie back into the party because he was mad she was.

Up you have.

You, know a Witness jane, though who's also going to speak to some allegations as. Well but at this, point, AGAIN i really think that it's time For diddy's team, to like the government the Rest diddy team to come up and bring their witnesses on because do.

We know Who diddy's witnesses are?

Now?

No And i've been trying to figure that. Out who How who's gonna get on that stand because that they said If diddy's going to get on the, stand they have not, said, yeah, SURE i.

Think diddy should get on the. Stand and did he should be the defense's number one? Witness did he should get on the stand and basically throw himself at the mersity of the? Court he should? Be is he should just be honest about everything that has happened in his life from from from day? One they Should they should basically just lay out a bio For, diddy from the time he lost his father to losing his best friends Like wolf and you Know bigg And Ken porter And.

Andre just lay it.

ALL i just lay out of a story of trauma and sadness and how he turned the, drug about the, alcohol about the alco.

Everything he.

Should he should just get on the stand and just lay it all. Out just throw yourself on the mercy of the.

Court, well base, down ass up that what's coming?

On bringing?

On, well, yes the way spread him.

And, Yes i'm not even. Joking he. Should he should be.

Spread he should be the star witness for the, defense and he should just go out there and just throw himself on the mercy of the. Court talk about all the, tragedy all the trauma he's been, through how you had to turn the drugs and alcohol and everything, else and he was, Wild.

Well he's going to do something because they bringing in so much difference Of homegirgmand brought up Ar.

Cocaine what's the road donkey today For, Tuesday june third goes to the acting head OF, Fema David. Richardson what IS fema The Federal Emergency Management? Agency their primary?

Goal?

Uh what are they here?

For is to coordinate the federal government's response to disasters and, emergencies both natural and man.

Made what is a natural?

Disaster, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes any catastrophic event caused by natural. Force, Okay tornado's volcanic, eruption. Tsunamis there are multiple natural disasters that we can all point. To, Now David richardson was recently appointed acting administrator OF, fema and he has no prior experience managing natural. Disasters by the, WAY i don't care what anyone. Says people being in leadership roles like this with no prior experience are way.

Worse than what you call A dei.

Higher, okay you can't tell ME dei highers have no, qualifications but then turn around and hire people with no. Qualifications, now why Is David richardson Getting donkey TODAY. Nv have you ever heard a hurricane? Season, yes of, Course jesse. Hilarious have you ever heard a hurricane? Seas, absolutely of course you. Have it started On june first and Ends november. Thirty IF i am From Monks, Corner South, CAROLINA i

Report.

Police multiple sources say staff AT fema were left surprise when the agency's new acting head said he didn't know THE us had a hurricane. Season David richardson reportedly made the comments during a Briefing. MONDAY A department Of Homeland security spokesperson says it was made in just but some staffers are concerned Since richardson has no prior experience managing natural. Disasters the acting administrator FOR fema just found out That

Blue.

Okay can you imagine if the head of NASA's set out, loud, wait we go to. Space these are the same people rebelling AGAINST dei because the people they feel are hired THROUGH dei are. UNQUALIFIED i don't believe your identity should be the reason you get hired for a.

Job AND i, agree.

But that should also apply to old white males as, well because damn, it From pete Heggscept David, richardson we just keep getting examples of, mediocre unqualified white. Males, Okay David, richardson the acting head OF fema just found out this country has a hurricane. Season that's like The Surgeon general, saying, wait people have. Organs, yes there are some. Seasons we just know pumpkin spice lattes in the, fall egg.

Dog and coke keto during the. Holidays.

Hurricanes, Now, okay this isn't some random guy on. YouTube this isn't a, Podcast this isn't some essay standing outside of home.

Depot this is the head OF.

Fema.

Okay this man is supposed to be the one warning us the brace for, impact not asking, wait we have a hurricane. Season we are, doomed, doom, doom. DOOMED i tell you you know what Else David richardson did in this. Meeting according TO, cnn he announced THAT female will not release an updated disaster plan for this hurricane season as previously. Promised, INSTEAD fema will largely default back to its operating procedure

Idiot he was.

Joking, well AS i just, said he is considering REVERTING fema back the last year as hurricane plan and cutting back on. Training so the only joke here will probably be the agency's preparation for a natural. Disaster, okay they are really just planning to recycle last year's. PLAN fema officials hurricane training this year consisted of control plus C troll plus V, Okay, AMERICA i am completely. Flabbergasted as long As David richardson is the head OF, fema femaie

Atlantic let it sneak up on.

Us, OKAY fema should stand for forget, expectations make. Assumptions Since David richardson just assumed that we didn't have a hurricane, Season, america if the head OF fema doesn't know we have a hurricane, season we are.

Duded, okay waiting for it being just doomsday gets.

HERE i read a quote once and the quote, was when you're willing to do what you're unqualified to, do that's what qualifies.

YOU i must SAY i.

Disagree, okay certain, positions certain jobs you just have to simply be qualified.

For you have to be simply qualified to.

Do and if you don't know that there is a hurricane, season then you are not. Qualified please give the acting had a Female David richardson the biggest he, Huh god. FORBID i hope you don't have a natural disaster in this country anytime, soon because if we, do y'all gonna realize that female stands for fix everything my.

Baby all.

Right when we come, Back Congressman Eric swalwell will be joining. Us he's a representative Of california's fourteenth congressional, district and we're gonna talk to him.

Next and don't go.

Anywhere it's The Breakfast Club good morning The Breakfast.

Club.

Morning everybody IS Dj, envy just, Hilarious charlamagne de.

Guy we are The Breakfast.

Club we got a special guest in the, building, Indeed Congressman Eric.

Swawell, Welcome, hey thanks for having.

On now you're feeling, Today i'm.

Good i'm.

Good you you got such an interesting story because you're A democrat out Of.

California, yeah but you were raised your parents Were. Republican, yeah so you were A. Republican what made you? Switch so to?

Speak they would tell. You they would blame. COLLEGE i was the first to go to, college and so they're, like, oh he got brainwashed by those college liberal. PROFESSORS. U. No the truth is my dad was a. Cop my mom worked a number of odd, jobs made wedding, cakes did, ceramics ran like a very, large probably unlicensed daycare facility with me and my little. Brothers AND i was the first one to be able to kind of get. Out and WHEN i left the, TOWN i grew up and

Tv was it a particular moment or situation that made you be, LIKE i don't lean in to wars conservative?

Anymore it was in The bush, presidency you, know seeing a lot of people THAT i grew up with go, off you, know to a rock and feeling like it was both like what they were being told and that it was really more just a power grab and an oil, grab and it wasn't about the reasons that they were being. TOLD i think that was kind of that completed for,

More than The Republican.

Party you think we'll ever get back to centrist politics ever?

AGAIN i hope.

SO i MEAN i was also you, KNOW i came of age When Bill clinton was, president AND i, thought you, know he was very good at trying to find like what's, possible AND i see myself as wanting to do this, job you, know to solve problems and be in the solution's. Business and today it feels very like just zero. Sum whoever wins the other side says that this is, it and that actually goes. Back you, know you had the search and destroy Under Bill clinton when they wanted to

What you guys say, Everything that's just what you.

Say so when the real threat was, there we probably didn't appreciate.

IT I i want to, ask what do you think the biggest thing The democrats got wrong in the last?

Election immigration and public. Safety forty percent of my constituents were born outside The United. States it's probably one of the largest groups of immigrant communities you'll find In. America and we also happen to be today because we've embraced, immigration one of the wealthiest districts now In. America so there's a straight line between having people who left, everything showed, resilience created, something and like the wealth they can create

SICKE i Think democrats miss people, though because when you talk about home ownership and small, businesses that's literally like a middle class, thing like like you, know you know how hard it is to be able to afford a, Home like some People i'm talking about are just folks who want to find an apartment that's not three thousand dollars of. Money you, know they just wanted to have a couple of meals on the, table you, know throughout the day for their kids like, this that like we

Lord AND i want us to be.

Aspirational AND i think a weakness of The Democratic party is my parents would tell you when people told them that As republicans they were voting against their interests because we lived in thirteen different. HOUSES i went to eleven different schools BEFORE i graduated high, school and people would, say, well You're republican and you're voting For. Republicans The democrats are the ones that are going to protect people in

Game, well how do you get those poor and disenfranchised people to even get to a mindset of aspirational because right now it's just trying to.

Survive, yeah it starts in, school and it's gonna get worse WITH. Ai so what we're seeing right now WITH ai is that you're gonna have people who learn the skills OF ai and they will do better for themselves because they know. It and then you're gonna have a whole generation of people who never even had it in their classroom still.

Have Congressman Eric swilwell in the building now.

Wanted to ask we look At Donald, trump And Donald trump has been signing executive orders pardoning his, people his core to the people in the, public looks like he looks out for his. Own The democrats don't look look like they look out for their. Own talk about that a little bit because somebody who sees that, says, well why AM i messing With? Biden Where biden wouldn't parton his best, friend he partner his, son wouldn't partner his best friend With Donald trump a pardon anybody that rides.

From he definitely pardoned a lot of his best. Friend, yeah it Wouldn't.

MARYLAND i think the issue Is democrats are weak with. Power say it, Again democrats are weak when we have. Power so we had The White, house The house and The, senate and not a mom In america would say that her kid was safer at. School all, Right, Right SO i have three little. Kids my two, oldest they do

POWER i was reading A Wall street journal yesterday and they asked the question About David. Hall we Had David hall a couple weeks, ago and the question was That David hall democrats worst nightmare are the.

Savior i'm On david's, board AND i was on his board when he founded. It i've known him Since parkland because that's the ISSUE i care the most. About, Look david's not wrong that the question is not are you far left or center? Left it's will you bring old tactics or new?

TAG i?

Agree and if you're not up to bring new tactics to take on what's, happening then these times are revealing who should lead and who should?

LEAVE i?

Agree why should we have a truth The Democratic party after they lied to us so?

Long above bread the?

Embody And i'm big on this BECAUSE i read the original sin And i'm just, LIKE i don't. SEE i think That democrats have tried every strategy except for two things honesty and.

Courage, yeah well there's a lot of people who are courageous right now in The Democratic. Party our bread and butter issue are danced. With the one that brought you is. Healthcare people have always trusted us on. Healthcare that's our, issue From President johnson To President obama to When Donald trump tried to take it. Away that's how we won The house in twenty. Eighteen and now This reconciliation bill is going to take fourteen million people off their health.

Broke AND i think we have a chance to do.

That do you, think, WELL i Know democrats do have a messaging, problem because it's almost Like democrats love faxing, figures But republicans talk to people's, gut their.

Emotion when will y'all learn to hit back.

Emotionally we think messaging is winning A Harvard Law school mood court, competition AND i think messaging is winning a gut check at the bar or the bus. Stop and

November is Should democrats who support this bill be? Shamed? No, democrats you support this?

Bill?

Yeah, yeah, no we do not support this. Bill this is the same.

Ability That Chuck schumer said he wanted to support, Right, no, no the spending bill that was a spending.

Bill, yeah and that's going to come back up In.

September AND i hope we learned our lesson from what happened In march that we should not be helping these guys get well, because AS i, said they're firing cancer. Doctors that's what when you fund their, government you're funding a government that is firing.

Cancer are they really cutting. Medicate, yes but they say they're.

NOT i mean they say a lot of that they're actually. DOING i mean we don't read, those. Don't, yeah, Yeah, no they're really. Cutting it's really in. It they want to Cut. Medica, yes it it will kick fourteen million people Off. Medica, wow fourteen million.

People, well, Congressmen Rix, follwell thank you so much for joining me plus this, morning and don't be a stranger And i'll be.

Back all, Right it's The Breakfast. Club good, morning The Breakfast.

Club morning, everybody as S dj Env Jess, Hilarious charlamagne the.

Guy we are The Breakfast.

Club let's get to the latest With laureni wanna be coming the street. Fast she gets them somebody that knows somebody.

Detail i'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about.

Everything she'd be having the latest on.

You the.

Latest With lauren La.

Rosa sometimes you have, facts sometimes you have. Details sometimes you have a little bit of.

Everything on The Breakfast.

Club, well in case anybody was, Wondering Vanessa bryant is not. Pregnant So Vanessa bryant had to go to her instant story and post to clear up. Rumors there have been THINGS i guess spreading. ONLINE i didn't even see the. RUMORS i just saw her post about. It, Yeah AND i was actually confused BECAUSE i saw the ansert story in real time when she posted it on her insert.

Story don't Like why is she posting that she doesn't like?

It threw me?

Off but, yeah so she posted the meme Of rihanna Where rihanna's like swimming and she has the goggles on and she has a little finger up and the caption of the memes said me protecting my, peace not pregnant and having fun all. Summer and then she posted another, meme Another rihanna meme that Says i'm not, Mean i'm just not the. One so there was enough going around online THAT i assumed that she had to tell people that she is not. Pregnant please lead that lady.

Alone But kobe passed away in twenty, twenty, Right, yes especially if she's dating or she's seeing, somebody that's her, business that's nobody, business her.

Family please leave her. Alone regardless of what she is. Doing she should not have to say anything about anything at, all.

Like she, Guessed, well she really didn't have.

To she didn't have, To BUT i think it bothered her enough that she felt like she, did especially because she's so protective over Like kobe's legacy and all these.

THINGS i think co, yeah and her. Daughters and it's just by.

The, way your algorithm is not the.

World, like just because people are tweeting you something or sending you, stuff don't mean that everybody saw, it BECAUSE i.

DIDN'T i need that's the first Time i'm hearing any of.

IT i figured it bothered her because she does not normally address things of that. Nature but it bothered me to see her have to even speak on.

It but, yes she's just getting bigger.

Something that's. That that's also the most insulting thing. Too when you say that you're, pregnant you're not, pregnant you know you might you might be because you're hearing all you might be a little way like who can you know just be like you pregnant and.

Then and then The rihanna means Because rihanna is pregnant currently and that's probably what you.

Know people just live online and just speculate. Speculations, yeah you.

Do gotta be careful of that, though because you, know sometimes even LIKE i hear things up here because tailor, pregnant she eight.

Months people, like, yo you big as a house and the person.

Who as big as a.

House yeah that's not.

True, okay that's not.

True he always brings in the house. Stuff i'm.

Signed, yes that's, right that's. Right right's.

WILD i Told tayl her she looks. Amazing it's when she's. Glowing she.

Is BUT i did hear the other comment was, like whoa would you say? That, yes it was crazy that actually. Happened, yeah actually. Happened it did actually.

HAPPEN i was wondering a pregnant.

Woman.

Yeah, yeah.

We're not going to get into. It but the, house me and me and, yes place we. Are we had already picked her up before all that, happened because she. Did she did look so, glowy, right, okay it's.

Beautiful.

Okay in other, news, uh the short king reign might be. Over so uh this this story is a couple of days, old but people are still arguing about. It SO i figured let's jump on into the. Argument So, tender the dating, app now has a. Feature it's a hype feature to

Date you don't know the, hype you don't friggure it.

Out.

Well, yeah so if you have A platinum level Of, tender which costs thirty nine ninety nine a, month you will get the option to select different heights that you want today or not want.

Today it's different levels so you can get a better. Crop, yes so thirty nine ninety nine you get better access to better.

People you just get more preferences so you already can do in your discovery. Area AND i actually made a tender BECAUSE i was trying to see what this was? Like DID i just made it five seconds? Ago because they asked you so many different preferences like they gave you WHEN i they asked me from a man or a?

WOMAN i select. Women they gave me like ten different options of.

Women then they gave you that's where you're going.

Now, no they asked me my like and my man or a.

Woman, OH i thought you said you reference to be.

Quiet, okay, Becau we're gonna get to you and your height of. People so then they give you the selection of heights you they can give you like six. Thirty you could never, yes big, father not a little, Right so then it goes from height to any, height so you can have taller. Shorter but you, know people are saying that this whole height thing and putting this preference in uh is heights and height.

Supremacy AND i looked up. Highism did you know that is a thing.

Is the prejudice of discrimination against someone on the basis of their. HEIGHT i did not know that these were real. Things but the people are upset at tender show.

Dollar short kings out. There here's the thing with my.

Brothers when you're a short, king just understand you live longer than taller.

People so all you got to do is wait it out because the tall people.

Die shut out showing people lived two to five years.

Longer all you got to do is waited out to find somebody waited. Out don't let you continue what you. Say, NO i didn't, That so you.

Can look it up and realize that it's a scientific fact that show people live longer than taller.

People that's.

Crazy you should get.

Authritis quicker, RIGHT i was looking up the amount of shirtmann who get denied on dating, apps and according to a study in twenty, fourteen forty nine percent of women's dating ads specified that they were looking for men taller than. Them another study indicated that men between five to and five four have fewer sexual, partners suggesting a correlation between height and dating.
