They talk about everything that's going on with the stock market. They talk about everything that's going on with financial literacy and generational wealth. So season and now we're on their show. Last night had close to eleven thousand people. They throw a live chatting. We were just talking on night, just helping people out

You know, it's muddon days. I got to watch the first batch The Bachelor. No, what you do? What you thought it was? I see your nose up there. You smelling. No, No, it's about the Bachelor. We were watching The Bachelor last night, and oh my god, it's getting great. That is his hometowns. Don't don't do that.

This is it was great sweatpants night on the Bachelor. No, he didn't have a great sweatpants but it's hometown right now. Let me tell you about hometown. Hometown is where it's down to like four girls, four women, and he has to go to their hometown and he meets their parents. But because of COVID, he couldn't go to their hometown, so they came to him, so he got to meet their parents. So can you imagine, you know, you got

a daughter. She's dating this guy for a couple of months and she's talking about marriage, and you got to meet this guy for the first time. Very interesting, very entertained. Want to call on them in the pandem. You'll call for them on the pandon. But it's pretty good. It is great. It is really really good. I'm excited. I love that show. Yo. Remember when Denza was sitting at the table with Hoyt and training day and he told Hoyt to tell him a story and then told him

that lame ass story. So he told him, reaching his pockets and pay for the meal, pay for breakfast. That's how I feel this morning. Okay, we watch you about to tell me something nice? Goddamn Bachelor. You don't watch the Bachelor? All right? Well, how is everybody else's say a good night? Later? Yeah? What about you? You anything fun? Was it talk? You can't? You can? He's not a top.

Come on now, clearly yesterday you know, I've been dealing with my house that I bought in Brooklyn, So I was dealing with that, but I was really I've been distracted yesterday all day, just dealing with this break in that happened at the juice Bot. I've been talking to like all these different police officers, so I think they apprehended the person. Um so yeah, so now I feel much better. But when I tell you so much? Any different people calling me different precincts and Queens and Brooklyn.

And then I've been sending this video because we had video footage of the person. But they recovered our Uber eats tablet right the person was breaking into another location in Queens and had it on them. Yeah, well, I mean the video of the person. Did they say who the person was or what is conditional? Not yet? Did he seemed like he needed some help? I'm the breaking into multiple businesses? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean just the way. But you know, he looked the way he was walking

like he didn't look healthy. That's what I'm saying. He looked like he needed some type of help. That's why exactly. Yeah. But I was reading about what's been happening in New York. They said, because so many businesses are closed, a lot of people are also going into those empty businesses and going to the wall and breaking into open businesses that are next door too. That's another thing that's been happening. Yeah. That, and uh, these brothers out here is high tech. Man.

I don't know if you know, but if they're trying to rob you or they're trying to get you, what they're doing now is they put this little device on your car so they can see doing that. That's two years old. Were you talking about? Did you know that job? We had a conversation to hear about checking out cards in the parking lot. Well number they did that to Safari, but I didn't know if people really knew that. But

they're still doing that a lot. That's how they know if you're home, they can see on the tracking device that you're not home, and that's how they know to break into your house. Hey, man, if you can figure all that out, you can get a job. That's what I can figure all that out. Man, Just go get a goddamn job or started app or something. You can figure something else out. If you can do all that, geez, let's start the show, all right, front page, that's what

we're talking about. Well, let's talk about legalize it. You guys live in New Jersey, so there's some big news for you there. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on it like everybody in cej Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. Where were starting you? Well, Joe Biden has announced some changes in the loan program that's aimed at supposedly helping

small and minority owned businesses. And you know, this looks like something good because we talked about this paycheck protection program ever since COVID started. It is supposed to help with federal assistance for these businesses, but unfortunately, many of those businesses did not get the money. Now, these changes are supposed to facilitate loans for contractors, for self employee people, for non citizens who are lawful US residents, and business

owners with previous non fraud convictions. So they also said there will be a fourteen day window starting March to ninth for businesses with fewer than twenty employees to apply for relief. Here's what he said on Wednesday. The Small Business Administration is going to establish a fourteen day exclusive PPP loan application period for businesses and nonprofits with fewer

than twenty employees. Small Business Administration will also remove barriers that have stopped many business from being able to apply for these loans. We're making it so that a student loan default or a non fraud related criminal record does not prohibit someone from applying for the program. We're all should making it easier for those one person businesses to secure forgivable p p P launch. I mean, loans are like most things in America, though it gets to black

business businesses last, if it gets to black businesses at all. Well, of the problem is a lot of people don't know how to properly file. That's the problems most people who have small businesses, don't have a huge accounting team and can't have people file for you. So if you don't file the right way to proper way, you won't get the loan. Yeah, a lot of people did try to do it and didn't get that money. And so this is supposed to help specifically minority women and veteran owned

businesses and people in rural areas. And it's true. We saw a lot of these huge companies, you know, got in front of the line, got all this money, and then what happened to the smaller businesses that were suffering. And see, that's the problem because a lot of times when they use that minority language, it goes to white women, you know what I mean, it goes to the poor whites. They usually end up getting that relief first a minority white women. When they say minority yeah, gold to white women.

Well that's like minority and women owned businesses, because they say minorities and then they also say women yeah, and those women white most of the time. A lot they said at least four hundred thousand small businesses have closed permanently, and so that has been an awful situation. You can see it, I'm sure no matter where you live, you see a lot of businesses that have shut down. All right now they say the thing about socially and economically

disadvantaged individuals. That usually means Paul White's all right, well that is your front page news. All right, get it off your chess. Eight on't drip five eight five one oh five one.

don't play caller blue. You know what draws? You're a moon from? Truly? What's up? Put your pants up? Yeah, Charlot man out that they don't. I got some exclusive information. So I was calling because y'all was just talking about the PPP program. So the way that you get it, um, you have to file as a sole proprietor. Right. So the way that you do that is you have to fill out a scheduled C form. When you feel that form out, you had the option of saying that your

income was cash. Now, this is not telling y'all to go out there and scam the government out these forms. No, because with the with the scheduled C form, they're not looking for perfection. They're looking to see if you deserve alone. They're not looking for perfection on that UM particular document. So when you feel that form out and then you go to UM get the PPP, they're going to ask you to upload that document. So don't don't put nothing crazy on it or anything like that. But the reason

is they won't go for your actual credit. They won't. They won't go to sound illegal to me, perfectly sound illegal. It sounds like you from Philly and you're not a dream chase and you're a dream scamra. That's what it sounds like. You know, I didn't personally get the loan because I didn't apply for it. I didn't get the loan because I started my business this year. If you started your business anywhere after February fifteen two and now you, if you would have got the loan, I could have

listened to you. But you can't. You mean you ain't get the loan because I have someone that teaches people how to get the loan, and the lady only at I don't want to put her on blast. He's on Clubhouse. I don't want to. But she's on clubhouse already. I can't, Yeah, I can't. She's on Clubhouse. That is a reliable source. Okay, it's wrong with y'all. Get it off your chest eight dred five eight five one on five one if you need to vet hit this up now. We got rooms

on the way. Yes, and let's talk about Megan the Stallion. Somebody was just praising her song wop and it's not the most likely person that you would think, but it's super dope. All right, we'll get into it next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne. The guy we are the Breakfast Club is Bobby schmirder Home. Yet, that is my question? Do we know? I have no idea. I see that, but we know said he was picking him up. Quabo

said he's flying there to pick him up. I want to know it is Bobby schmirder Home. Yet I think Quab was already here. I saw Quible giving a Roddy revel a bunch of money on social media. I've seen that. All right, Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Megan the Stallion. It's about this is the rumor report, Angela Yees on the Breakfast Club. Well, Megan the Stallion and Maxine Waters had a conversation for Harper's Bizarre Online, and one of the things that they talked about was

the song Whop. They told me to look at that was it? Well? And I did. Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. That I said, Now, that's our that's today, and that is the ability for women to take charge of what they want to say, because I had paid attention to the young you know, Gangster Wrap, a time when you know, men were in charge. They say whatever they wanted to say, but women, you know, didn't say for a long time what they could say

or wanted to say or dare to say. Okay, okay. Very important to note that wapp is the latest evolution of women expressing their sexual desires. Though max Maxine is an old g she shouldn't know that. You can't forget about Salt and Pepper and TLC and Little Kim and Fox Brown and Tren in Gangster Bull, Missy Elliott, you know, Kyle Nicki Minaje like, you know a lot of women sexual desires now. Magan the Stallion also was talking about protecting black women and why is that so hard to do.

They feel like it's controversial and all I'm saying is protect black women, and now people are taking it like it's I'm saying something crazy. So just to be supported by another black woman who you know sends the same message, I feel like, you know what, I am doing the right thing and I'm gonna keep doing it because Max Seine Water saying I can that's right. That's social media saying that too. Though social media is not real life.

I promise you'all majority of the opinions on social media whole no real weight in the real world because we know protect black women as the model. All right, now, Quest of Love. After having a very successful documentary that actually with at the Sundance Film Festival, he has announced that he has his second feature film coming and that feature film will be on sly Stone, So that should

be really exciting. And you guys, if you don't know who slid Stone sly in the Family Stone is, you know they had that song and you always hear on commercials hot fun in the summer time. And he's a super creative person. I think a lot of R and B and social artists have kind of my old and fashioned themselves. After him. I know DiAngelo used to study sly Stone before he would perform, and just see how he actually did his work. They had great songs, dance

to the music everyday people, all of that. So now he's doing a documentary on sly Stone, so I think that'll be really dope. Family a fair, m that's the record. Everybody who know it's a family fair. It's a family and they had that time. I wanna thank you for letting me be myself. Don't forget about lose booty booty a right, never mind? All right? And the club? Okay,

how's it going? Just google? You can google alright. Fred the Godson has gotten a street named after him in the Bronx, so it's official congratulations as his friends and family were celebrating his first postumist birthday after releasing his latest album, Ascension. So it's a nine song tape with no features, and now he has a street named after him,

so that's pretty dope. He did pass away last year in April due to complications with COVID nineteen probably includes boons with Fred to gods rest in peace, all right. And Nellie has found a buyer for his house. You know he has that abandoned house that was in Saint Louis. He had listed it for six hundred thousand dollars and just a few days later somebody bought it. There's no plumbing, there's no flooring, there's a lot of renovations that are left to be done. It's it's a nice property. It's

a mansion out there. But I mean I hit Nellie because it looked like the comps were grade, looked like the properties in the area looked like they were pretty good. I hate him to see if he wanted to sell it, But he didn't hit me back. Somebody, somebody He bought that house back in two thousand and two for two million dollars. He was planning to flip it. But it's just been sitting there for the past twenty years. Yeah, it was on the market for six hundred thousand last week.

Would you would cost to renovator a lot? It's huge, boys, I would say about one hundred and fifty hundred to one hundred really now it's gonna cost mine than that. Also, if you do a mansion like that, wouldn't you want to do like top notch renovations. There's no plumbing, there's no flooring, plumbing and flooring is not it's not that expensive. Yeah, but don't you don't you have to buy flooring? Don't you have to buy I'm sure you have to fix everything up, and then I'm sure you have to buy

everything in that house. The house wasn't in bad edition in flor Flooring is not that expensive sitting there for twenty years. It's been sitting there for twenty years. Though, you don't think that it's gonna need upgrades. But everything you need to come to one of my classes. Man, where where you get construction loans? You don't have to use your old money to fix these properties up. I don't have that kind of I can't even get that kind of loan. I can't get a loan one hundred

fIF You don't. You don't have to use your money, which you mean you got good credit? Right, I don't need to get Then you ain't got to worry about it. Then that's all I got. You ruin my credit, ruin your credit. Lady, ladies, you've had your credit ruined. Buy a waffle with me? Got him? It's ready to rule somebody's credit? What's rong with you? Guy? Is so crazy?

But for my ladies out there, do not let anybody do not co sign on nothing for nobody. Put no money down in your name, nothing for nobody. Not let anybody have your credit. Okay,

Are your house life right now because the way you come at me and dramas the last couple of days, a liar to drop dramas. You're a lie. You've always been a liar,

like no kind of cree. All right, Well, we got for a patient was next year, but we're talking about yeah, get yourself together, you guys, we all got to talk about I know they've legalized recreational marijuana and the jet right talk more about that. That's right's appropriate. It does. I did have an edible late laughing right now. I don't know what is clearly or maybe I went to sleep and I didn't get the high, but I woke up with it. I'll be okay, all right, Friday's next

to the Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee Scharlam the guy we are to breakfast Clublet's getting too front page news where we're starting you. Well, it's official. New Jersey has become the latest day to permit recreational marijuana use. They approved a series of bills yesterday that regulates the sale of cannabis to anybody over the age of twenty one. Good job, Governor Murphy dropping in clues

bonds from Governor Murphy. Now, but when are they letting the brothers and sisters out of the jail who are locked up for non violent weed defenses. If that doesn't happen to an this is one of the most hypocritical pieces of legislation of a path. Yeah, it definitely needs to and I think that's something federally that needs to take place too. But I actually thought that was the hold up. I thought that they were trying to figure all of that out. That's what they said. They were

trying to figure that out. And also as far as the licenses of concern, making sure that minorities get the licenses since we've been affected. What are the boasts? Yeah, Well, the legislation does further provide for them to reinvest cannabis revenues and designated impact zones, and it also directs the Cannabis Regulatory Commission to promote diversity and inclusion in business ownership. And it contains critical employment protections for people who engage

in lawful behavior with respect to cannabis. So that was in the official news release. And listen once again, you know, if they don't, you know, let the Brothers assists out of jail who are locked up for non violent we defenses. This is absolutely one of the most hypocritical pieces of legislation of a path and it's got to be a bit of sweet celebration, because that's just wrong. You got people who in you know, jail for life in New Jersey.

But weed is legalized all right. Now. Spotify is planning to monetize podcasts now. They're launching a new Audio Advertising Marketplace to Spotify Audience Network, which will allow advertisers to reach listeners across Spotify's originals and exclusives, as well as podcasts via Megaphone and their creation to anchor. So now there's going to be ads and that way people can make money if they have a podcast that's on the Spotify network. They haven't been anybody. They haven't been monetizing

on Spotify. I think for the creators, it'll help you. As far as they're gonna have a paid advertising thing, so now I guess it's gonna They haven't launched it yet, but they're gonna. Um, well, no, that's what I mean. They haven't been doing paid advertims on Spotify. I thought they've been doing that. I don't know. Yeah, I think you're gonna have to pay for a certain podcasts now,

from what I'm understanding what you're saying. Yeah, I think podcasts behind the paywall is whack anyway, though, I don't think that's how podcasts is supposed to be digested. It's like radio, right, It's like satellite radio is cool, but to rest your radio will always reign supreme over satellite radio because it's free. That's why. That's why I feel like podcast shouldn't behind the paywall. Yeah, but but but you don't pay for remember like Serious satellite radio, right, yeah,

and they actually, but that's the purpose you pay. You pay a monthly subscription, so you don't have to pay for commercials. You can just hear give me a straight through. Yeah, but why why I pay for radioca? Some people don't want to hear the commercials. To rest your will always range the pre simply because because think about it, when Howard Stern left Wind went to Serious, the reason why he got the money that he went he got was

because it's paid subscription. Absolutely. I just don't think stuff a lot everything shouldn't behind a paywall, and I think this kind of conception should not be behind the paywall podcast aladio my personal opinions. Yeah, I mean, I think you just have to be have an audience that's willing to pay the audience. I don't see nothing wrong with it. Monetized. You ain't gonna pay for advertisement, you keep everything to yourself.

I think that's fall Actually, all right, now, let's talk about a seventy five You remember that seventy five year old protested that was shoved to the ground by police in Buffalo. What that happened? And he actually ended up suffering a fractured skull. This happened on June fourth. It would look awful. Martin Gugino was his name. Well, those officers in Buffalo, they did file charges against those two police officers, but a grand jury earlier this month's declient

charges the case was dismissed. I don't see how I knew that. That was a couple of weeks ago there anoder when they pushed Homie on the floor and he did asks charges. That's crazy. So that tells you a lot of the seventy five year white man gets pushed you the ground and nothing happens to the police. What does that say for the rest of us me in trouble? Yeah, they said that the officers were simply following departments procedures and the directives up their superiors to Claire Niagara Square,

despite working under extremely challenging circumstances. That was their rationale for why that was okay. So even though this man stuff for a concussion and a fractured skull, spent nearly a month in the hospital, apparently these officers did nothing wrong. All right, well that is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now let's talk about young thug. Young thug yesterday posted on the social media that he was in Vegas and he lost eight hundred thousand dollars

in the casino. Man Vegas at one eight hundred thousand for me, man I am. He said he wild out, he threw through drinks and everything. So we're asking eight hundred five eight five, one on five one gambling, what's the most you ever lost? Eight? I love going to the casino and gambling. I like to play blackjack sometimes we let launched. Y'all got money to gamble? Well, I think I'm very like I will talk about it. I have a whole plan in the system of how I gamble,

when I gamble, Charlman, I don't gamble at all. I've been unemployed seven times in my life. Okay, I don't play with my money like that. All right. I want twenty four hundred dollars one time off for one dollar in the slot machine. And I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan. What the hell would I be gambling for? Why would I ever been on them? Yeah? Right? Eight hundred five eight five one on five one call us up. Now

let's talk about It's to breakfast club. Good morning in right now at your opinion to the breakfast club top breaking down eight hundred five eight five one five one to breakfast Club, It's topic times the phone call eight hundred five eight five one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the breakfast club, talk about it morning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Good morning now if you

just join us. We're talking about young Thug. Now young Thug. He was on his Instagram and talking about when he was in Vegas manas at one eight hundred thousand. For me, man I am yeah, he lost eight hundred thousand dollars. So we're asking what's the most you ever lost? Gambling? Me myself, I don't gamble. I'm not a gambler. And if I do go gambler with my wife, I make

it seem like it's an event. Meaning if I was gonna take my wife out for dinner and a movie, if I would have spent four hundred, that's all I'm gambling. If I lose that, four hundred's gone. I don't I don't go further than that and four hundred. If I lose that, I'm crying. But if I win fifty two hundred dollars, I walk away like I'm not a gambler. I'll never get ten thousand gambling because I don't spend that much to gain, but I just rather put it

in other things. That's me personal. The biggest I enjoy gambling. Yeah. The biggest gamble I take is when um, I dabbling ice cream, because I know I'm like Tolson Doller. That's about it. Biggest risk I tacked. Well, I love to gamble,

and so I've learned a trick. And my trick is that when i'm gambling, if i'm up whatever I put in, I put that money, I put those chips in my pocket, and then whatever else I have after that, I feel free to gamble with that, and if I lose it, it's fine at least I walk away even but I'm not dipping into my pocket to take the money that I've won back out. And the most I've ever won, I've won six thousand dollars playing blackjack, and I won twenty four hundred on the slots. That's the most i've

ever won. I try not to lose. I never bet that high. I just I just won't. I'm not Nope, I'd rather use that. But you don't have to bet that high. That's what I'm saying. All you do is take the money that you're as you're winning. I put one chip in my pocket, like say I put up two hundred dollars, right, I put it twenty five dollars, tipping my pocket once I'm up, and I'm back at that, like say I have two twenty five. Then I keep on gambling. If I lose, I'm out. If I keep

on going up, probably four hundred dollars. All right, let's go to the phone. Hello, who's this, Yeah, it's your boy, Sterling Stack. I'm calling from Columbia. Stuff to herlan. What's up? Brother? What's going on? My brother? I ain't hurt from you and forever man, Man, we're still around. We're still around the man. You know everything's good, Yes, sir, So what's the most you have the Lord's bro? Man, Listen your first time I went to the casino, I went to

Biloxi the Grand Casino. I spent one hundred dollars and I won, like maybe like seen grand. So there's gonna be my new occupation now, right. So I take my girl band. Two weeks later, my cousin, I get everybody room, I go down there and I lose about four or five grand with their life. This is gonna be my new occupation, you know. But they got me. You yeah, And that's the thing. When you went a little bit, you feel so confident, and then you start calculating in

your head. I only put up a hundred, and I've won ten grand. Imagine if I would have put up a thousand, I would have had a exactly when I tell you what's so bad? Like, they got me off the table when I was down and we wouldn't eat breaking yo, I told them I had to go to the band from my rant back downstairs to the black jack table, loss every dollar in my pocket. I had to break in my career around for me at a discount and send me money just so I get everybody home.

That is a shame. As soon as you started going to the ATM and doing all that and putting your card down at the table, it's over. No, it was. It was bad, man, it was bad. But you know, but I went to Bakers two years ago and hit a lick, so you know, you know it's always to come back, all right, right, hold on to that. That's the problem with gambling, man.

My last name is Gamble. So that's what I did. I ain't want to raise up State New York. I'm not mad at that. I enjoyed it gambling. I enjoyed like I would be in the casino.

I won before the pandemic last year, I won twenty five thousand dollars and I went out to face I guess with only a thousand. Okay, so you up. You're still up the

crazy problem. I don't even know how to play none of them games. I don't know how to play craps. I don't know. All I know was blackjack. I don't know how to play. All I know I played pokon on my phone. I don't know how to play poker too. I enjoyed. I love being in the casino, but they don't give you drinks anymore. When you sit at the table, you gotta just sit there. Now, well, i'll tell you this. Last week for Super Bowl, I was out there and I was at the crap table with a Asian gentleman

and he was shooting fifty thousand dollars a shot. He was winning. Now to say he was winning, I said he was. He just said he was playing. That's crazy. And he left the table with three hundred thousand. Now he could have been down half of me and on me, but that's what he left me three hundred thousand. I ain't got the half of that one, thank you. Brother. You know what the worst is when you're at the table with somebody who doesn't know what they're doing and

they mess up the game. Everybody else at the table, Oh my god, so much, people like it doesn't matter, Yes, it does matter, It doesn't matter. You gotta get up and walk away, like I can't be at this table with this person. All right, Well, what's the mor little story? Guys? You gotta play to win, No, put that keep that money in your pocket and in vestage. You gotta be in it to win it. Baby dock market is doing okay. Now real estate is great, right now, that's all a gamble.

This is zillion. The one thing you can do. Don't listen to ye and if you don't know how to play, don't sit at my table. And I hate when you guys come to my table smoking cigarettes. Man, that money, make that money, my goodness. We got rumors all the way, yes, and we're going to talk about meek mel. He says he has apologized privately to Vanessa Bryant, but first this happened online. Would tell you what went down, all right,

we'll get into it. Next is to Breakfast Club. Good morning, all right, well morning everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne. The guy we are to Breakfast club is Bobby Smurder home yet somebody giving some updates? Good morning, Mama Smurder? Are you after rhetorical questions? Are you asking questions that you may or may not really know the answer to. No, I don't know the answer that something. Trust me. When Bobby's murders home, everybody or no, it'll it'll be on Instagram. Okay,

follow DJ Academic, Yeah, shave room real shit? Sure? All right, all right, all right, yeah you're back here. Yes, I'm here. It's gonna be a celebration in Brooklyn, and Bobby's murder gets home this morning, this afternoon, or whenever it happens. I mean, let's be clear, based off the laws of hip hop, right, the laws of the street. If snitches get stitches and snitches get you know, banished in YadA, YadA, YadA, right, shouldn't somebody who held it down get celebrated? Absolutely? And

I think he will. I think he will. I think a lot of orders saying they're gonna make sure they take care of the Oquavo said he's picking them up. I know, Thugga Thucker said he got something. I got a bag for you, thug. Actually he posted me when I said that before, and he said, um, Charlotagne finally said something. Right, that's what he said. You guys came a long way. Who I've never met young thug in my life. Well, he said he was gonna tort you you one time and tie you up at one time.

But then't yeah, and then didn't you guys speak? And he said he wanted to come on the show. No, I never never spoke. He wanted to come on the show. Yeah, yeah, but you guys came a long way. Told you that was cool. That was a good time. That was a good time. Was a twenty sixteen Yeah, twenty sixteen. Yeah, we're gonna tie you up and told you you boy, you've heard that before. Shut up. I don't even know

how to hold time, My goodness threatened me. Right. We got rumors coming up, Yes, and we'll be discussing a new podcast that Barack Obama is doing. It feels like an unlikely peering. All right, we'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club Go Morning my Heart radio station Anthimmy. All right, Well, Vanessa Brian was on Instagram and calling out me Mill over the line that she had an issue with. People thought it was disrespectful to Kobe Bryant. Here's the line and if I ever let him going

out with my trab being novel? Kobe all right, and we had a whole discussion about this up here on the Breakfast Club. I said, I'm sure Vanessa Bryant has She's been very vocal about how she feels about people even posting tributes to Kobe Bryant at this time, so it did feel insensitive because she's been vocal about it. She has her daughters, you know, who also are seeing all this, and I'm sure they're aware and listen to Meek Mill. So she posted darre Meek Mill, I find

this line to be extremely insensitive and disrespectful period. I am not familiar with your music, but I believe you can do better than this. If you are a fan, fine, there's a better way to show your admiration for my husband. This lacks respect and tact and that's how she felt about it, or nothing to say if Vanessa is offended, if Vanessa is offended. Only thing you could do as

apologize for Meek Mill right right. So then I don't know if this was just bad timing, but he posted on Twitter, I'm going back savage in this ish f your feelings. I don't think we are on the same signal, y'all. I don't see what y'all see. I'll be looking at the net laughing like I did what I say random ish all day on. So so it becomes a trend to hate on me every once in a while. But I feed off that ish. I'm a beast. Literally, I'm gonna stay on this one hundred m chase to feed

the kids. I'm ana dip from the crowd and stay in the VIP. And then he said, I apologize to her in private earlier today, not to the public. Nothing I say on my page directed to an internet viral moment or the family of a grieving woman if you care about someone grieving. Changed the subject. But that's a long ass tweet. First of all, a few different tweets. Oh, it's a few different lines. Let's go back to what you said initially. So after Vanessa tweeted that, he tweeted out,

I'm going back savage mode if you're feelings. Yeah, but we don't know if that was necessarily two hit Homoimon. We don't know if that was necessarily towards come on, come on. I refused to believe Meek is that clue. He might not have seen that at the time. He might have been still going got I gotta shoot meets some belle Meeks emotional, I Q gotta be way higher than that. I refused to believe he saw Vanessa Brian saying no way and didn't tweeted that I don't. I

don't believe that can't even be a possibility. You know how some comics got great comedic time. Miek is the opposite of that. Meek just pops in at the wrong time and we end up laughing at him instead of you know, yeah that was towards six nine and some other street stuff that there was no use. But I

do fail in this particular situation. Vanessa Bryant has been very vocal, even saying I don't want to please don't post anything from the accident, even not wanting anybody from the NBA to do tributes this year, just because she said it just hurts too much. So I kind of feel like mentioning his name. We should know that's gonna

not be good either. We knew it was gonna hurt of feelings, I'm sure, but you know, there's so many rappers have done things like that before, and then they play word play and it sounds dope because they think it's wordplay, But then don't they don't realize how they affect her they hurt. I think we're also for getting one important thing. What's that the song wasn'tupposed to come out, and Meek did record the song, and I have it on very reliable sources that he was told don't put

the record out. The record wasn't to come out. It was leaked, so let's be let's be clear on that too as well. Right, I would have probably just said that then. And I also feel like, you know, publicly, people heard this and it made the round, So why not just said one, I apologize the song wasn't supposed to come out. Well, I thought he did say that. I just think that's as simple. That's just a simple though. I think he did say it was leaked. All right. Now,

Barack Obama is doing a podcast with Bruce Springsteen. That's a Spotify exclusive original podcast that feels like a weird pairing to me, but it's called Renegades Born in the USA. It's an eight episode podcast, and here is the trailer, the surface. Bruce and I don't have a lat in common. He's a white guy from a small town in Jersey. I'm a black guy, mixed race morning hawaire. He's a rock and roll hy common. I'm not as cool in

our own ways. Bruce and I have been on parallel journeys looking for a way to connect our own individual searches for meaning, truth than community with the Charger story of America, and over the course of a few days, all just a few miles from where he grew up, we talked. It doesn't excite me, so I thought it was just me the Boston barock. Not so sorry, guys, maybe I'm hating. They'll be talking about their hometowns, their role models, modern manhood, and the divided state of America today,

how we can all move forward together now. They did have a stream on event yesterday, so other news from that, they announced a multi year deal with the creators of Avengers Infinity War and Avengers End Game, so they'll be doing that They also launched a podcast from Abra dubern A focused on social change and cases of police brutality.

A few different things that they announced that also, like we said earlier, they're also testing the ability for podcasts to earn revenue through paid subscriptions for fan only content on the platform. Not that that Marvel stuff you mentioned, and I know you said it was doing like a documentary stuff like that, I'll pay for. I'll pay for like scripted audio content, you know what I mean. Stuff that is that that's like movies and TV shows, things

of that nature, but just regular podcast No. They also did a Warner Brothers DC deal for original spot podcast that will includes stories about characters like Superman, Low's Laying wonder Woman, Joker, cat Woman, Riddler, Back Girl, Harley Quinn, DC's Trash. I'm a Marvel guy, but everybody that you just named, I might pay for joking Holly Quinn. I like joking Holly Quinn. All right. Lionel Richie has a

new bad well not new. He's been dating this girl since twenty fourteen, but they were trending yesterday and the reason why his girlfriend Lisa Parigi, Like I said, they've been dating for seven years now, she's thirty years old and he is seventy one years old. So people were reacting to the nearly when he was on sixty five from Where Are There? Yeah, yeah, you have it all night long when you seventy something years old and your

girlfriend ain't know all night long. Jesus don't need some blue choes, some prayer whatever, I think, right right, Cat Daddy? A lot of women like line of Richie though, Yeah, yeah, oh really yeah, a lot of women love a lot of Richie. I don't know, Cat Daddy, they do, so I guess he understand I didn't know, so I guess he understands because his daughter was what nineteen dating a thirty five year old, So I guess if it makes

sense he did, he understands. He's cool with it. Seventy and thirty is crazy and it ain't even crazy for him though. It's just like I'm looking at her like, why are you want this seven year old man? Why are you here? I don't know. I know, like I'm not gonna be seven. Know what's going to happen if he dancing on the ceiling dropping the clues bumb a lot of Richard, y'all know, his knees is gonna be hurt. It ain't gonna be dancing on the stands while here.

I know, business on his knees should be all back action, okayed, back the whole time, be on some women's in partment. You take control, you know, that's what you do. That is your rumor report. Wow, alright, Lottle Richard. I ain't mad at him though, All right, all who's your ass giving a dog? At two? Um? H? Eric Spencer, Eric Spencer need to come to the front of the congregation. I like to have a word with him. I did take it edible last night, but it was only because

I couldn't sleep. But I think I took it way too late my time. Did you take it man? For me? It was late. It was like nine thirty. That's too late. Yeah, that was too late. That's too That's why you've been a little giddy old ball the lord because I fell asleep. Touch you, failing. I don't know what's wrong with you this morning. But I ain't touch you. No, you touched dramas. But that's a lot done the days up next, it's the breakfast lob morning. It's time for Donkey of the day.

I'm a Democrat to being dunky of the day a little bit like a day now. I've been called a lot in my twenty three years. Yes, Donkey to Day for Tuesday, February twenty third goes to twenty nine year old Eric Spencer of Brooklyn, New York. Okay, let me tell you something. I am convinced, totally sold on the fact that humans of a certain demographic have no idea between what's criminal and what's not criminal. And it's all social media's fault. Social media has created such a false

sense of reality. It's such a virtual world where feelings of facts forget what actually is. It's all about how a person feels. So if a person feels like they want to let everyone know about something illegal they did, they just do it because they feel like it. It's no consequence to their actions, and why and why why should they, you know, feel like there's consequence to their actions social media? Every day it's like the wild wild West.

It's so much criminal activity happening on social media that I could easily see why people would think it's okay to show the things that they do. Okay, but guys and gals new Slash the FBI using social media for investigations. Okay, they absolutely use social media posts to help identify and track down suspects. Yes, you can't be online with a bunch of drugs. You can't be online waving guns and threatening people. Trust me, The FBI, Facebook and Instagram are

just sitting around plotting on your dumb ass. And that's what happened with Eric Spencers. Do you all remember weeks ago when you saw a bunch of brothers robbing a Soho Soho channel store. What's it called? Yeah, there you go Sohole Channel? Yeah, but remember when they did that in broad daylight? Yes? Now, if you're like me and you see the words Chanelle and it translates the channel, then you act in your wage. See'all, don't go chasing Chanelle.

I stick to the Puma sweatsuits and Good Fellow T shirts from Target that I'm used to. So when I saw this crime, not only did I think it was just ridiculous that they were doing this in broad daylight, I said to myself who they selling this stuff too? At a time, I'm like this, during this pandemic, you're gonna steal Channel bags and then take them around people who don't have any disposable income to buy them. I don't get it, but it's not for me to unders

name because I'm not a criminal. But Eric Spencer, it was indeed one of those guys in that Channel store. What's it called now? Yeah? Well, uncle Charlot, how did he get caught? I wonder Let's go to ABC seven

New York for the report. Please bring the leader of a brazen rob ray at the Chanel store in Soho in Manhattan earlier this month has been arrested in Fort Lauderdale, floor A. Prosecutors say twenty nine year old Eric Spencer of Brooklyn, when a foe man who burst into the store while it was opened on February second, grabbed nearly one hundred and ninety thousand dollars worth of goods. Spencer

allegedly brandished a gun during the heist. Prosecutors say the next day, he bragged on social media that he could open a small boutique with what was stolen. Three other suspects still on the loose a hundred and ninety thousand dollars worth of Channel products. You couldn't help yourself, hunt, Eric. You know it's interesting even if there is no code in the streets anymore, and nobody is teaching these kids

how to move. What happened to learning from movies? You can watch American Gangs the one time once and realize why Frank Lucas shouldn't have wore that floor length chiller coat, that fur coat and that fur hat. Okay, cost him his whole operation. Kids, if you don't have old jees around you know who telling you, who are telling you not to bring that kind of attention to yourself, then listen to the movies things that are watching American Gang

still listening? What is that you? What's what you got on? That's a bad, bad, bad night suit. That's a cloud. That's a costume with a big sign on it that says, arrest me. Understand you're too loud, You're making too much noise. Look at the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room. I tell you though, y'all dying for attention, getting arrested for attention? What about Good Fellas? The guy did a big score. All they had to do was lay low. Danio told him, don't buy anything.

Listen listening while it's your wedding, getting it's my mother talker on names. I just got mad. Stupid pulls out there. Everybody's wanting to sneak it, excited about it because you're gonna get pitch. That's why. What are you stupid? I tell you? What's did? I tell you? You? Don't buy anything, emmy, don't fight anything. Basically, what both those fictional gangsters are saying his attention is the worst drug known to man, and social media is y'all drugged choice. Now let's update

all of that for this era. What Eric Spencer did. Damn. I started to say the equivalent of wearing the fur quote front row to the fight. You know, I started to say, it's the equivalent of buying something after hitting

a big illegal lick. But in fact it's worse because cops can only assume you was doing something you had no business doing when you, you know, looked apart, when you look rich, but when you actually on social media with the items you stole from the channel store and you online saying and I quote so many double s items that he could open a small boutique. Now what does that mean? Rich? Negro envy? What does double see me?

That's the logal she no logals CC two C I thought, I thought that you get when you get ass shots. CC never mind, listen, man, As much as I hate to see black men getting locked up, it's like y'all really be earning your charges. Okay. In life, you get what you deserve, and you get it because you deserve it. And the fact that Eric has thirty two prior arrests, including fifteen felonies, I don't think he will be seeing

freedom anytime soon. And it's his fault. Okay. I don't even know to tell you young anymore, because you don't know the difference between right and wrong. You don't know the difference between good and evil. You don't know the difference between crime or no crime. I would say this is the teacher teachable moment, but y'all ain't gonna learn. Nigga's gonna nigg Please give Eric Spence to the biggest sea hall, and it's Coco. She knows it's the ccum.

I'm gonna tell you what happens. I didn't hear the end of it. Can we play guests with racidists? You know? Good and well? All right, listen, I'm gonna tell you something though. The reason this dude got caught because vy didn't do twelve days of Christmas this year. If anybody did twelve days of Christmas this year, he'd bought all of them Channel bags and down, he'd bought all them hot Channel bags. All right, But I don't. I don't buy stole the property anymore right now anymore? Don't buy

stolen property anymore, I'm said, anymore? Who back Homa? True? Back home true. I feel like if I buy something stolen, then you open up the dates for somebody to come and rob me. That's a good time. So I don't buy anything stolen. But if it's stolen from a store, and if it's stolen from a person, that's different. But if it's stolen from a star brand, yeah that's a little different. What's the difference? Whose door still losing all

the star But I don't want to start. I don't have to worry about that kind of Calma, Babe, if you're listening, he got a point, babe, if you listen, you got a point. Because if it don't come from a person and it comes from a store, store got in short, That's what I'm saying. In that bag probably only cast two hundred to make, and they sell it for five downs. Now listen, bad if you listen. He

got a point. I'm not encouraging stealing at all. We're just having a hypothetical hood conversation about if you buy stolen goods. Okay, if you buy stolen goods, if you buy them from somebody that stole from an actual person, I think that's bad karma. If they stole from a store. Yeah, I don't want a store. Yeah. Does it sounded good? It sounded good? How many other people ran up in that Channel store? Charlie would saying with three other people?

You want to go through the Channel store right now? You want you want that that her pies discount? What's they called? Not her pieces? Man? Now we don't buy no stolen products, man, not right? And despite the pandemic, By the way, I was reading about how her mess bags are still those birking bags are still flying. Yes, during this time. Who wouldn't know to call that her? Man? I see that, and I see herms r mas just the name of it. All right, Well, thank you for

that dog to day up. Next, we have Malcolm X's daughter joining us. Her name is a normal pronounced this name so wrong? Yes, ELIASA Shabaz she we'll be talking to her next she has a new book. All we're gonna talk to her when we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, corning the Breakfast Club. Well, good morning, how are you today? Pretty good? How about you? Blessed Black and Holly favorite? Every time I see you you glowing, like just glowing or on a thousand. Okay, well maybe

that's living right. Yeah, absolutely, But we obviously are here today to talk about your young adult novel, The Awakening of Malcolm X. And there's been a lot of new developments also, just you know, as a blade, I saw this letter that was released from ray Wood, the officer FBI agent that went under cover that actually framed and was responsible for Malcolm X working in conjection to get

him assassinated. So what were your thoughts when you saw that? Well, Angel I can say that I'm just as curious as you are uncovering the truth. We always wanted to know what the truth was surrounding my father's assassination. We know that he posted you know, great danger, and so it's you know, we're just as curious as you are to uncovering the truth. Absolutely, you know it must still be difficult to hear all these things coming up too, because

that's your dad. You know. For a lot of us, he's a hero and he's such a great figure to us. But for you, that's your father. So I know it's not easy to have to hear these things coming back up over and over again. Well, I think whatever you

do in the dark always comes to light. And you know, immediately I think of my mother, and I think, you know of this woman who had her home fire bomb on the evening of Valentine's Day as she lay asleep with her husband, that a bomb would be thrown into the nursery where her babies, where my sisters and I slept, and then that a week later she would witness the

horrific assassination of her husband. And in spite of all of those challenges, you know, she raised her six daughters with just so much love in a in a very small bubble, and made sure that we understood who our father was, who her husband was, so that we didn't grow up feeling that our father left us, but we knew that he loved us and would be proud of any kinds of accomplishments we were making. And if we didn't do something right, she would say, your father would

be disappointed. So you know, I always take my hat off to this woman. She continually gave and she instilled the values that just as one must drink water, one must give back. And you know, so from my mother, a young woman in her twenties to experience that, for me, you know, that is probably the most difficult part. And so yes, we are very curious and definitely want to

uncover the truth. I was reading that you were saying that um, that you were saying that your mom didn't really speak much about the things that he did and you had to get a lot of that knowledge from his autobiography. Is that true? My mother focused on instilling love and making sure our identity was intact, so that when we would leave her, you know, under her wing, that we would be able to navigate through society's injustices. And so we didn't learn about the icon Malcolm X,

because then you had to introduce hate. And if my mother was, you know, a witness to the brutality this surveillance, you know all of the challenges that her husband and she endured. Certainly she wanted to protect her babies and and and of course even to witness his assassination. You know, there's a picture of my mother, she was a registered nurse at the time, with my father with all these bullet holes in his chest and she's undoing his tie,

you know, to help. I could only imagine how traumatic that had to have been. So my mother focused on love, um, kindness, joy, all the things that my father I wanted for um any oppressed people to to have, you know, the opportunity to know that they're worthy of love, self love, and you know, respect for for our humanity, you know, Queen Queen Ayasha, you know um on the anniversary of his death, how do you feel? How do how do you how

do you more? Well, you know it's not really easy, but you know I continue in the tradition of what my mother always did, and my mother always had, you know, we always had a memorial celebration. It was a celebration of life for our father, and it was at Abbasini and Baptist Church for a very long time, and then you know, now we have it at the Shaba Center.

So you know, we continue in that tradition. And fortunately, because of this pandemic and virtual programming, we had people from all around the world, and so that's you know, a great opportunity to fellowship in that way. You know, I love the idea of a young adult novelty Awakening of Malcolm X, which is which is spotlighting Malcolm's formative adolescent years in prison, because I think it's very important to really dive into that, that that whole process of

who Malcolm was. Because I often say this generation wouldn't let Malcolm Little become Malcolm X because of his whole Cancel coaching thing. So what can this generation learn from your father's adolescent years in prison? Well, first of all, that you know, I wanted to make sure that my

father's story was accurate. That his father was the chapter president of the Marcus Garvey Movement, the Universal Legro Improvement Association in the nineteen twenties, which commanded millions of followers worldwide. That his mother was the recording secretary for this organization, and that his family was targeted, and that his father was lynched by the Black Legion, which was a splintered group from the KKK, and that his mother was put

into an institution. His father purchased land that was reserved for whites only during the height of Jim crow. And once they lynched his father and put his mother away and separated Malcolm and his siblings, they took the land. And so Malcolm as a youth was running from his identity, running from the pains that he experienced during Jim Crow. And when he finally was arrested, his family had the

opportunity to encourage him to read again. And one of the things we discover is that Malcolm was always bright, smart. All of these values that we see in Malcolm was mostly because of the foundation that his parents and family provided. And so it speaks to the importance of us smart, forward thinking adults to be the village for our children when we know they're in pain, when we know that their identity is you know, questionable. And so while in jail,

my father continued to read. He studied the dictionary, not so he can learn how to write. He studied the dictionary because he was a star debater on the debating team of the prison that debated against Ivy League schools. And he studied so he could understand the etymology, the root of words, because he always wanted to be prepared.

And you know, there are so many interesting things about the awakening of Malcolm X. I had the opportunity to work with Tiffany D. Jackson, who is a phenomenal young adult novelist, and you know, we wanted to focus on the humanity of inmates. We know they are approximately three

million people in our nation's prisons today. But do we know that the United States spent eighty one billion taxpayer dollars on correction facilities, not education, That after school programs went our correction facilities, and that since nineteen seventies, the incarcerated population has increased by seven hundred percent. And this is what's happening to our children. And so each of us has to ask ourselves, are we going to be a part of the problem by doing nothing and pretending

that we don't understand these things? Are we going to be a part of the solution by rolling up our sleeves and demanding change. We have more with Eliasa Shabaz. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club, corn wnting. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Schlomagne, the Gay. We are to Breakfast Club. We're still talking with Malcolm X's daughter, Iliyasa Shabaz Sheloman. You know, even though the book is historical fiction. Do you see parallels to today's current event? Absolutely?

And that was really the purpose of this book because you know, the same systemic issues are here, the same I mean, it's all nothing has changed, and it's not going to change until we do something. You know, we have to learn to control our own narrative. And we can't sit back and just think that someone's going to do something for us. My father said only a fool would sit back and allow his enemy to teach his children. If we want change, we have to be willing to

do the work ourselves. And I think that now there is a multiracial movement that's driving our nation towards a more civilized space because of our young people, that a synthetic identity is being born. Our society is moving forward, and bigotry and all its ugly hate is losing, and a new error has yet to define itself. And so we have to, you know, surmise that cheaters lose. Character wins, moral character wins, and that should be a lesson for

our young people. What would you advise people to say, because we talk about change, but you know, Donald Trump's in office, Joe biden In's office, do we see him helping us, and we say, we have to do for ourselves. What would you consider us to do for ourselves? You know, we have to get our collective leaders together. There's not just one leader, but coming together, organizing, strategizing. We see

all these dynamic young people. I mean I watched Angela Rye and Brittany Packnett and many of the Congressional Black Caucus members. I think that it's important for us to come together in this collective leadership and organize amongst ourselves to figure out what our strategies are. And that's you know a lot of what my father did in the nineteen fifties when young people were marching, protesting, demonstrating. My father came along and said, look, we demand our human rights.

As your brother, we demand our human rights ordained by God. He was willing to do the work, and look, we all organized to do so. And so it's important for us to first make sure that we understand, you know, these assassinate all these different divisive tactics, you know that have continually happened, and ensure that they don't happen again. That if there are eight billion, six hundred million people in the world and eighty percent of us are people

of color. We should be able to come together and figure out how we can get this boot or for our necks. What does by any means necessary mean to you? Because I think a lot of times when people here that phrase, they automatically think, wake up with violence on the mind, Like you know what I mean? What did

that mean? You? By any means necessary means that Again, if we're talking about collective leadership, then we have to know that we are worthy of self love, that we are worthy of equality education, that we are worthy to participate in mainstream society. And so it means that we have to invest in ourselves just as my father did. My father read everything that you could imagine, and he

refused to allow anyone to pigeonhole him. And and you know, and so I would say the same thing for us, that we have to be diligent with the same kinds of um, you know, the same kinds of examples. You know, I want, I got a couple more questions where we go? But um, you know, you mentioned a couple of Ostrong's voices earlier. You mentioned Brittany Packet and Angela Rye. I wonder why it feels like the sisters are on the

front lines and more vocal than the brothers. I would throw Tamika Mallory and as well, like why why do you why why do you think that is right now? Um? Well, I think this has been something. You know, this has been historical. You know, the black woman. You know, we look at you know, just like you said, the women that you mentioned, or even Stacy Abrams who delivered you know, almost a million votes to help us win, you know, half of this democratic victory. Just think who would be

in office right now. But I think it's important to understand that black power is not exclusionary. It simply says that we are going to be at the table, and that is something that we can't forget. My father said that a society is measured by the progress of its women. When you teach a young man, you teach a community. But when you teach a woman, you raise And I think that that we have seen such evidence of that. Absolutely.

Um I do want to talk to you about chapter four two though, because, like you know, you use one of his quotes with a common goal of twenty two million African Americans respect as human beings and we can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. You know when when when you read that quote, how how you think he would view that that that goal in twenty twenty one because I always say that now, like we're fighting for civilities, but they

don't even respect this is humans. Well, that's right, and that is one of the reasons why he was assassinated. You know, he internationalized first the struggle for black people worldwide, because remember in the nineteen fifties, we didn't even know that we were, you know, of the African diaspora. We didn't know that blacks in the Philippines, blacks in Australia, blacks in China, blacks in the America's, blacks on the continent. We didn't even know we were all experiencing the same oppression.

So he internationalized that struggle for us so we understood that we came from Africa, we have a land base. And then introducing a human rights agenda to the civil rights movement so that we could take, you know, be strategic about this and take this, you know, to the Supreme to the United Nations Supreme Court and challenged those for violating our human rights. Yes, I think that is

extremely important. And when we look at the Constitution, when we when we look at all of these um documents that were uh created, you know, we'll see that, you know, we weren't included as as human beings that we were. We were just property. And so we have to correct history. And again that is addressing our education curriculum. And uh you know, yeah what the Awakening of Malcolm X and novel is out right now by il Yasha Shabaz. Yes,

amazing read that. I really did enjoy reading that. I was like, um, I think for a lot of kids in school or even like somebody my age, you know,

it wasn't it was a great read. So and you listen, you know, every time I hear myself on the radio or doing some kind of interview, I sound like I'm so I'm just being so passionate, and in retrospect, I always say that I want to, you know, tone it down, but it's difficult to tone it down when we look at these you know, horrific conditions that we are forced

to live. And I just hope that all of our young people, you know, remain strong, remain focused, that you don't look at these or don't fall for these divisive tactics because at the end of the day, they you know, they are just that they're divisive, and they prevent us from accomplishing our goals. And it is extremely important with all of those great people that we have, all those shoulders that we stand upon, that we are able, you know,

to to win. That's right. Well, thank you for joining us so much, man, and we appreciate you and everything that you're doing. And pick up a book right now and thank you, thank you so much, thank you very much. Let's get to the rum as somebody's home. Listen, Oh go God, breakfast club, where are you doing, envy? Bobby Schmurder is officially out of jail. I know there were a lot of false alarms for months and people were saying he was about to get out, and we were like, okay,

let's wait till he's really home. But he is officially out of jail. So congratulations to Bobby Schmurder. Everybody's excited. We've seen the footage of them in the private jet going and then we said we saw him on FaceTime. So now he's out of jail. Happy for that, brother, and I hope he gets rewarded for him doing what they say people should do in that situation. He didn't. He didn't snitch. Nope, right, he did his time like a g So I want to see how hip hop

street culture rewards him for that. I wonder if he's still signed to Epic Records or did they release him when he got locked up, because I'm sure whoever what he gets told, he's gonna have a big bag. Some label's gonna be off from a lot of money to do a deal, and and I hope he gets all that money. All right, Well, welcome home Bobby's murder. Now, let's talk about this high school football player. He was talking trash to Cam Newton. That video went viral. Your

I don't mean that it wasn't funny. It was hilarious. It was hilarious, suf funny. Okay, you had that even that man's camp.

Bit That don't work on a human who securing himself at all. He went the right route with your daddy at But what if I ain't got no daddy. You're trying to play me, you know I'm saying. That's

why seth Owens apologize. He said, First and foremost, I want to express my deepest apologies to Cam Newton, my entire organization, my coaches for my actions at the tournament this past week, and I did not intend for it to get as far as it did. First, I would like to start off by saying, my parents never taught me to be disrespectful to people as a football player. I let my competitors side get the best of me

and it was a huge miscommunication. So he said that he realizes a lot of people took it as disrespect. I never meant to humiliate and let anyone down, and he said he's very appreciative for even being allowed to be a part of that community. Well Cam should have said to him with Luke young Ken, you hear at my camp because you want to be in the positions that I've been in Yes, I'm a free agent now,

but don't forget. I forgot more than you've ever learned.
