Hitmaka Interview, Malcom Gladwell and More

What's happening, Charlomagne? They got here from the world most day This morning show, The Breakfast Club, dj Envy and Angela Yee are running late this morning. Oh it feels good to say that. Dropping the clues bond for me for being prompted on time. Okay, well I'm not really gonna talking. My contract said six to five, so I'm actually just early. I just happened to be in the building, but I decided to blesh you off with my prayers

five minutes earlier. Okay, Happy Friday the thirteenth. We still care about Friday the thirteenth? Is that's still a thing like do people still look at that and feel like it's superstitious. It's not right because every day of your life you wake up and you try to avoid crazy, and crazy can happen on any day. Friday the thirteenth is just the market the day because of Jason Vorhees. That makes us think that something bad can happen, But nah,

I don't subscribe to that. Now this morning on the show, we have one of my favorite authors, somebody that I thoroughly enjoy if you've ever read his books like David and Goliath, Far Blank, Are the Tipping Point? Are the Outliers? He had the new book out now called Talking to Scranges, which I had the pleasure of reading a few weeks ago. Malcolm Gladwell will be here this morning, okay, to talk to us about how none of us know how to

communicate with each other. That's what this new book is about. And also who else we got on the show this morning, hit Maker formerly the artist formerly known as Young Burg, or should we say to the executive formerly known as the artist Young Burg. He'll be here this morning, and we got Front News coming up next. I guess we're gonna be talking about the Democratic debate, and I guess I'll be here talking about it by myself. Who was the most dangerous morning to show? The breakfast club? What

the hell are you beating me here? Hey man, I didn't actually beat you here. My time to be here six or five. I just happened to be early because my bob is here, because my receding hairline is showing. Okay, and you know it's Friday the thirteen, So that's bad luck to have your receiving hairline showing on Friday to thirteen. Okay, I just made that up on the fly. Let me apologize everybody on the road this morning. I'm sorry. Why

would do was late? Who'd you kill? Brandy? I ain't kill nobody, but I was late, so I had to get here. Let's get in some front page news, sir. What you gotta do front page news? Oh? Hold on, it's too busy putting by you in my eye? All right? Listen to Democratic debates was on last night. It's hard not to watch those debates and think to yourself, Trump

twenty twenty. It's hard not to think, MAGA because it sucks, man, Because those Democratic candidates seemed qualified, like they are all better human than Trump, but sally, they just not entertaining enough to get the cat US vote. Are excited, boy, I mean it was it was cool. I mean we had a lot of substance to it, but other enough flare enough, okay, okay, But then you got Andrew yang Um He expounded on his universal basic can come last night, but he wants I guess, I guess to test it out.

My campaign will now give a freedom dividend of one thousand dollars a month for an entire year to ten American families. Someone watching this at home right now. If you believe that you can solve your own problems better than any politician, go to yang twenty twenty dot com and tell us how one thousand dollars a month will help you do just that. That'll get them ten extra votes. Absolutely, I mean it's ten families. Yeah, yeah, absolutely? What else

you've got? Yeah? Doing this from page news thing pretty good? What else you got? Bro? What else? I got? Maya Pete? He was talking can we talk about that? And talking about what though? Yeah, let's do Biden to Castro. Biden and Castro had a nice little exchange. Okay, if you want medicare, if you lose the job from your insurance coming from your employer, you automatically can buy into this. You don't have. No pre existing condition can stop you

from buying in. You get covered now. Casting response, The difference between what I support and what you support, Vice President Biden is that you require them to opt in, and I would not require them to opt in. They would automatically be enrolled. They wouldn't have to buy in. They do not have to buy in. You just said two minutes ago that they would have to buy in. You said they would have to buy in to buy in if you qualify. Are you forgetting what you sent him?

Best moment in the night, Julian Castro age shame and Joe Biden accusing them of having to Mitia. Clearly put too much sauce on that much and that's not like he was accusing him of having to Mitia. No, boy, then you'll get to may A Pete all right, This is why debates are becoming unwatchable. Yea reminds everybody of what they cannot stand about Washington scoring points against each other, comoking at each other and telling each other that that

you're my plan, your play. Look, we all that's called a democratic election election. Man People was solid last night. But when Man People was last here, I told him that you had to step it up. He had to step it up because it kind of sucks in the debates. And he didn't suck in the debate last night. He's all, he's always solid, you know. But last night, when Julian Castro told him, it's real, like, bro, this is the debates. Okay.

We here to throw dirt on each other and throw mud on each other, all right, and question each other's records, right, all right, that's what we're here to do. Okay, all right? And then last night the Buccaneers beat the Panthers twenty fourteen football on last night. Yeah, I watched a little bit of it.

Oh yeah, I was telling

for you guys, what's going on? Tracy. I just wanted to say the gentleman yesterday who wasn't talking about the football. He was saying that certain athletes didn't get anything until they heard it. It's about Stephen A. Smith. He didn't say that. He said that too many people are being

celebrated and they haven't won anything yet. Okay, well, okay, well, I understand what he's saying, but I'm saying that sport is highly volatile, and even if they haven't really earned anything yet, the fact that they step on that field, they can lose their life. Then the mobility, anything that they can get, not being u egregious or highly insensitives

to other people's feelings. This is being titled to because you know they can lose their life the first day to get on that field, right yeah, I mean, I don't think whatever they can get, they can get because similar or later they're gonna be exploited. It's just a anyway in the high intensity fields where everybody sees you,

but you still have to change with you. And anytime they can tell you what to do, where to do, where to go, what the world, what to dress, what to say, you're done, you're right, get get it and then use it for your community. What's you're free? That's what I say. I get. I give what Stephen was saying. Stephen A was just like some of these guys are just so popular that they get endorsement deals and stuff like that. But it should be based off performance, not popularity.

But like she said, you step on that field, you get, you get injured, that's it. Your career is over, you know what I mean. And that's something that you get your stupid It takes a little wrong for you to actimate to those certain situations the way you say. You know, I'm acting like couple food and I'm doing this. I should earn it. You gotta do some to young guys. You gotta give him some time to mature a little

bit now, Tracy. You know, and I think they'll make it if you just leave them alone and just like not harassing so much. Now, Tracy, do me a favor. Yes, it's Friday. Play big pimpant on that flute? Okay, who you didn't got the hold? Let me ain't getting the Yeah, you gotta sit up. Just shot us again? Nah nah, that's parking lot pemper. Yeah, thank you, Tracy.

So that's exciting news now for everybody that's engaged as people that are getting divorced. And Adele has filed for divorce from her husband and they've been married after I guess more than seven years they've been together, and the divorce filing was a long time coming, you know.

Back in April she announced that they were separated. They do have one child together and they are committed to raising their son together lovingly. They've been mostly out of the spotlight with their relationships since they started dating. And you know, they got married in a very secret ceremony. She didn't even confirm that they were married until a couple of years ago. And now I guess it didn't work out, so it's over. Okay. But here's something that

is working out, a girlfriend's reunion Blackish. Come on, now, what's girlfriend dropping a clue by for girlfriend's damn it. Don't worry about it. If you don't know, you don't need to know. And not what's girlfriends? I don't. I don't know what that is. Talk to him, you well, what they're doing. Of course you should know who that is. But Tracy Ellis Ross said that basically she don't merged the world of Blackish and girlfriend She said it was surreal for me and so much fun. We got the audio.

So we have an extra special episode of Blackish, and it's a feminist episode. And I brought in some backups from some of my girlfriends. Yes what shut every door? Oh yes, tell ye? Yeah yea God, look at God, look at God? Won't he do it? This is gonna get a girlfriends fanatics closer to the closure that we all need. Because I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen.

You saw how this story took off in the news yesterday, right, and then when it airs, it's gonna be trending, and then everybody's gonna be wanting to go watch reruns the Girlfriends and the DVD sales gonna shoot up, and some executive who's coachurally clueless, some white coachurally clueless executive, hopefully some black executive who knows says, you know, it would be good if we gave these women a mini series and gave the fanatics of girlfriends the proper closure that

they deserve. Well, if you know how it ended, it ended just open ended. We don't know what happened. Do you want to know when it's airing? This episode? October? What? October eighth? And Blackis Does returned for their sixth season on September twenty four. Come on, it was funny. Let me walk in today and his nipples were hard. I was like, oh, because I got a hit, you know what I mean? I thought it's looking at me, but it was actually because girlfriends back nipples were not hard.

But I am very excited because I am a girlfriend's fanatic. If you know, kay to watch a show full of black women, who said that draw nip the guy who hates to be high? Okay, all right, why do people say that? Though? Being that I love girlfriends, they'd be like, are you gay? He said, it's because your nipples are heard. But that's not watching a show full of women makes you gay? I'm gay? What are y'all even talking about? I don't know being gay. I'll keep up ye and

loving girl. All right, Well, I manage that's your I mean, malik yo, but did ask you? You didn't answer correctly? He said, what are you when you? Yeah? I was confused that that was a trick question. That was that was a trick question. And by the way, what what I what I've been calling myself all of these years? They was like, nope, you're since gendered heterosexual something else male loving male. But they didn't say that. Drunk confusion,

I can't even find Yeah, you confused me? Follow pretty good? I'm good? All right? When we come back from page news is to breakfast club, Good morning. Yeah, it's twelve mo. Dare this morning show to Breakfast Club Charlomagne and God Angelie, ye dj Envy. We got the front page news coming up right, now an Yeah, so of course we're all talking about the debates from last night. Did you watch? I did watch. I'll caught the last two hours. When

I was on the plane. I saw a lot of people talking about who were the big winners and losers? Who did you like? I don't think that there was any winners and losers last night. Like it's hard to watch those elections and not think Trump twenty twenty, not because the Democrats don't be speaking of things of substance, but because none of them are entertaining. And I hate to say it, but you got to be entertaining nowadays to capture the casual voters, to get get people energized

about coming to the polls. I don't see anything transformative up there. All right, well, i'll tell you what did happen. We'll give you some highlights. Now. Andrew Yang, you know, he's been talking about this dividend that he thinks people should get the one thousand dollars, and he's going to test it out. Here's what he said. My campaign will now give a freedom dividend of one thousand dollars a month for an entire year to ten American families. Some

watching this at home right now. If you believe that you can solve your own problems better than any politician, go to Yang twenty twenty dot com and tell us how one thousand dollars a month will help you do just that. Well, he'll get to an actor voters because of that ten families, you got them on luck all right now. Another thing that happened was Beato or work people and everyone on stage is really commending him on his stance when it comes to gun control. Are you

proposing taking away their guns? And how would this work? I am if it's a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefield. You know, Odessa, I met the mother of a fifteen year old girl who was shot by an AR fifteen, and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour. Because so many other people were shot by that AR fifteen in Odessa in Midland, there weren't enough ambulances to get to them in time. Hell, yes, we're gonna take your

AR fifteen, your AK forty seven. I forgot Beato or Rooke is even on that stage last minute, you know what? And I think because this is a debate, right, so everybody was going back and forth and to play each other. But everybody did pick him up, and I think it shows also in a way that they're not feeling threatened. He just gets lost man being a young sis gendered. Uh, let that make Let's not make any assumptance about what his gender or sexuality. We don't get very true. But

he got and he gets lost on that stage, all right. Now. Joe Biden, he was asked about Barack Obama and the deportation policies when they were in office, when Biden was Vice president Obama was president, and all the negative backlash they got. Here's what he said. You didn't answer, did you make a mistake with those deportations? The president did the best thing that was able to be done in

talk about you. I'm the vice President United States, all right, And what people don't like about Joe Biden is that he will invoke Barack Obama's name whenever it's to his benefit. But whenever there's policies that are questioned, then it's all of a sudden, Well, it wasn't my decision. And one person that pointed that out was Julian Castro. My problem with Vice President Biden, and Corey pointed this out last time is every time something good about Barack Obama comes up,

he says, oh, I was there, I was there. I was there. That's me too. And then every time somebody questions part of the administration that we were both part of, he says, well, that was the president. I mean, he wants to take credit for Obama's work but not have to answer to any questions. Point I did not say. I don't stand out. I stand with Barack Obama all

eight years, good, bad and indifferent. It's a damn shame that Joe Biden is the front running because you cannot look on that stage and say to yourself he is like the runaway top ten candidate that the Democrats should be getting behind, because I don't know what the hell Joe Biden be talking about ninety percent at the time, he just be rambling. All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your front page news. That's right. And a man who doesn't ramble is coming up next. His

name is Malcolm Gladwell. Huh oh Hitmaker's coming up neck Oh okay, well, I'm not as exciting formerly known as young, but he's a great conversational list. I will tell you that. Yeah, Hitmaker will about anything and he does not hold back. Yes, he'll be here to talk about all the records that in the past couple of years, I didn't even know that he was doing all of this. This worked. Yeah, he has a lot of number one records that he's produced, So he's made that pivot from being an artist known

as Young Burg to being a producer hit Yeah. So we'll talk to Hitmaker when we come back. It's the world the most dangers. Wanted to show the Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club. I want to get everybody as DJ Envy Angela Yee Sholamine the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. I don't know if you should call him Young Burg or Hitmaker, you prefer days hitmaker? Hitmakers in the building? What I'm shag? How you feeling happy birthday? He's a virgo as well,

fellow Virgo. Yes, sir, you already know. So it's like young Burg Dad kinda Young Burg dies. So Hitmaker, Caleb, why din't you do like a whole ceremony, like really play nig I mean the internet might have did it for me already. You know what I'm saying, so I had to do what I had to do. That was one of the best rebranding situations I've seen. Yeah, I think in a last ten years, it's probably be myself, two Chains and Joe Budden and I was just crazy,

Like a lot of people didn't know. Like even when I took the job to be vice president Atlantic Records, like I never did like a press release. I never did nothing like that because I knew this was gonna hate you know what I'm saying. I think it's it's better to stay low and keep firing job Atlantic Record President. I had no idea. Yeah, when the hell that happened two and a half years ago. Wow, by the way, like we in Atlantic Market with you and you the

VP of Atlantic drive away after the breakfast club interview. Yeah, after the breakfast club interview, what he became vice president my last interview here. I took the job after that and then we were up here talking. I think at that point, like I had a couple number ones. I did Big Sean bounce Back, I did Chris Brown Party

and then going to Atlantic Man. In the last two and a half years as a writer and a producer, I sold over fifteen million records with him and our VP of and I gave a boogie his first number one record? Did meet meal first number one record? So because I talk so you you and Jeremiah are partners still, no, Like that's my brother. He changed my life, like for real,

for real when nobody was rocking with me. He took me on tour and everybody know Jeremiah bounced to to be to his own drum like, so we never seen them exactly. So I was able to have like fifty Jeremiah records. Nobody has Jeremiah hooks and all that other stuff, and I was able to run it up and that really put me in a position and really like change

my life for real for real. Yeah, that's interesting because I always thought you guys were partners kind of in the or is it unofficially partners or it's just my brother and we just worked like we're serial collaborators, like and you know, we just work all the time. That's what's funny. The funny is that the girl from Loving Hip Hop hays will Eat, introduced me to Jeremiah and wow,

we went to the studio to do well. Jeremiah came to do a record for her, and then it turned into just me and him working and me giving a song to meet and Meek and Chris Brown first collaboration. So love and hip hop helped your life? I mean here about some boys, But I mean, I mean, I'm glad I made it out? Who is it? Me? Cardi B I would say Cayman Chale, but she right back in it anyway, So Joe, but Joe, Joe buttons right back in it. Still he's talking about made it out?

What about Termory? No, I feel bad for tire. Yeah, so she could pay fifty No, she ain't got it. She ain't got it. What do you mean back in the ships like me, back on the show, back on a boy like I can just imagine what Joe was gonna go through this season with him, you know what I'm saying, and his baby mother and not being together like they gonna they're gonna spice that up. I don't understand why he's back on Loving hip The man told him he got a million dollars to do it. I

still don't believe, no way, he's a liar. God damn it. Still don't back you want to go back on the show at one point? No, not after they tried to trash me with that hole because I don't understand what just be saying like that, as if we're not all in this business and we can't fact check Joe John around looking for cars. He might no million dollars to be on the Loving Hip podcast. Mother please page one

wouldn't approve that, Vick. I want to prove nobody come on bird getting fifteen hundred dollars episode enjoy it on a million dollars or maybe they doubled up. Maybe they gave him five and gave Sin five and that's how you make five thousand. No, he's not doing a one hundred thousand for the season five hundred thousand. You think that so kind of high to who you think is the most paid person on Love and Hip? I would

think Remy Mo and Pappoos right now. It depends. I mean, I don't really watch this show right now, I don't know the way the backs to risk dollars shut up. But then you know what, you have a lot of connections on there because a one you did. But I'm saying you did have a lot of connections at all, because like, um, they put me in a mix all

that Love and Hip hop. You know what I'm saying, Like I was trying to separate myself from that because I went through traumatic on a show like they tried to like kill my whole career again, and like they put me around a bunch of boys and I'm just like, yo, keep that away from me. Then he went trademark like I would always say, like to like that's my Then he went trademark my behind my back? Isn't that your album? Yeah, he went trademarket Peril and everything that says he gave us.

I don't know what told me, and I would think that was after him. It's just like like it could be used for multiple different things, you know, marketing, Yeah he did. Y'all remember the video where they were in live in the studio and people ran up in the studio. That was cap though, that was loving hip hop cap for them to add to the host because wow, So

that's what that's where we parted ways. Because I'm like, yo, if y'all could use me for that type of bait, just for whatever y'all doing, then ain't no telling what y'all could do with me. And like I'm vice president of Atlantic Records, I can't be having no like that go on. You know what I'm saying, that's that was literally my pace of business that Atlantic put me in the studio to be it. So I had to cut that off for it. So did you know it was?

It was? It was fake when it was happening. Um, he was just on Instagram live, you know what I'm saying, Like he would walk in and out the room and be doing a lot of different stuff. I didn't know nothing. So when they ran up and there, you thought it was a real situation. Yeah, so that could have went bad. Yeah, yeah, you could have had a gun. Something could have you know what I mean, Your people could have shot somebody. Like are you telling hip hop? So do you want

to rap again? You don't want to be an artist? Absolutely not. See. The thing is that a lot of people were like, yeah, I'm a writer, Yeah, I'm a producer, but I'm about to be the biggest executive in the game, Like Craig Colman gonna have to get up out that

seat for me, you know what I'm saying. One of these days, like I'm about to be bigger than every executive out here because I actually have the relationships and I actually make these records, like when I created Dangerous for me, like that was just something me just being in the studio. We did that song in thirty minutes, and then it turned into being a big record for them. And I think that a lot of nrs, no disrespect to them. A lot of them are glorified middlemen, you

know what I'm saying. They're just like, oh I I know this person, or they're taking credit for records because they put somebody in the studio with somebody when I'm actually on the ground level getting my hands dirty with it, you know. But there's a talent to hooking people up and putting people with people as well. But my talent is just bigger. I'm not you did on Craig Cament just now, no one a job I'm to inspire to

that La Reid. I'm all these different executives I'm learning from QCP coach K Like I looked them in the face and be like, yo, I'm gonna be bigger than you. And nothing wrong with that, nah. But I will say it's very hard for creatives to be in those seats. That's why a guy like Craig will be in that seat. Like they don't put creators Lie Craig Calvin as a co producer. I like it, like that Cardi B record with j Balbot and Autumn. He actually didn't. Yeah, he

has vinyl like all covering all the water sample. Yeah, La Reid. He's an executive too. He was a music creator. He was a creator. So that's a talent. That's not a talent like on your level as far as sitting down actually doing them, yeah, like and really creating stuff. I think that it's really more so like the blessed thing about what I do is that, like I said,

like I really a bookie. Had never worked with nobody like like that, like closely, because he just goes in the studio and just kills these records and goes crazy and they ploque up and they go stupid. I was the first one for them and like really open the fold. We went to Hawaii. He gave me his whole album look back at It was a song that was like we had that song for nine months so mebia Vice Presidlantic Records. I was able to hear the record. He was waiting on the sample to be clear. The song

was actually five minutes and some change long. I took the record in Hawaii. I added the snaps to it and our restructure the record and made it a three minute record, and it was our first number one. Again. Kraig got might be the except to the ruble. We're not to sit there and act like these white executives. We having talent. They come on stop. Charlo Maine said that, and they be culturally cool. It's like a mother a

time a lot of people. It's a lot of nepotism that go on with it, you know, like when one person get it up, they get a little homie the job. You know what I'm saying, which is nothing wrong with that, as long as you qualify for the gig. You know, all right? We got more with Young Bird, a ka hit maker when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club with, kicking

it with Young Burg and get a hit maker. Yeah, let's talk about your project rights. You have thought Box out now, Yeah, thought Boxes came out. He thought Box. It's my serious all the time. I don't want to be an artistic Huh. You said you don't want to be antists, so colleague type thing. It's a producer album. So I have the pleasure to work with on thought Box, a Boogie, two Chains, meet mill while be in the Mirror, an Tiger all on the record. So it's all up.

So I would assume that it's pretty easy for you to get anybody to be on your album because you work with a lot of these artists and they want to get some beats from you. So did you like exchanges? Yeah, we could, we could swap it out. That's what I did with everybody. Well, first and foremost a lot of people. Well, I didn't got so much money and I didn't got so lit that I'm not really charging people, you know what I'm saying, Like if I got a relationship with you,

like a two change. I've known him since he was Titty Boy. His record with Ariana Grande ruled the World his last head. I did that. I didn't charge him though, you know what I'm saying. That's how I was able for him to get on my record, and everybody that's pretty much on that on that get your money from

Royal to Yeah. I remember when def Jam asked me, I wish you be the single long too Change album and I said that and he was like, no, a matter of fact, they said anything but the Ariana Grande record, And look at it, it's about to get a clock right now. That's some of the people that don't know what they're talking about. Shout out to everybody at death Jail.

Maybe they was going through you know, they just transition and they've been hiring and firing people a lot, so I mean maybe they were tripping and lost in the sauce on that one. What did it hit maker learn from young Bird? Bird made a lot of mistakes. Yeah, keep the right people around you, never do too much. You know, I was wilding back in the day, Like wow, yeah, like I was, you on drugs, are drinking a lot?

Like what was it? I did extacy a lot back in the day, and you know, like it was good for me because I made all them hit records on it, and it was bad for me because you know, you get out of character when you're young and you just get millions of dollars out of nowhere, like and you don't have no ogs, you don't have nobody telling you what to do, what not to do, how to move, and how not to move, you end up in some young birds and hopefully you work hard enough to become hitmaker.

You have the most random stories. I'm sure things that happened. Yeah, my life is a real, like for real. Worked a lot with Nicki Minaj. Yeah, what do you think about her coming out saying that she's retiring? Um, the thing is with Nikki, I think that people feel like she's going through something right now. But everybody's sitting in this room. No, that's just Nicki Minaj jo, Like you know what I mean. Time she didn't curse me out and I said some

of the craziest to me in the world. But on the oh she meek was gonna beat me up at one point when they was dating and all those Yeah, like she no, she called test eat it. I was on a Nikki hate train. And but my thing is, like, yo, how are you work for Atlantic? You know Atlantic had a plot? No? Absolutely absolutely not. And at the end of the day, I cannot say nothing bad about Nikki because, yeah, she cursed me out and we did a lot of together.

Like when I was when I was working with her, she really put her arm around me and really embraced me, and like I got a lot of cloud like a lot of cool points because I'm in nicki Mina studio every day. I ended up doing six records on her album and it was great time for me. Minus. But now that I got money and I'm rich, like I can't be taught. It won't be tolerated. Like talking to me like that, I can't do it. That's a huge you of being on the hate trank because you work

for Atlantic. No, not at all. She was. Yeah, she was actually proud of me when I first got my gig, Like I told her, she flew me down in Miami because like for a while, like her and Meek were dealing with each other and I'm gonna keep it a hunted like Meek voted me off the island, you know what I'm saying. At that time, it was his girl. I was in the studio all the time with it, and I just think that it was like, yo, he

got to move around, so they removed me. I moved around and me and when they broke up, she hit me back and we ended up working a little bit. Why didn't remove you, I'm confused. Why did he remove you from the studio. It's just crazy time. Charlotte man, it was just real crazy time. So I thought that you was trying to get with Nikki. Wasn't justifiable, becauld you understand it. The truth of the matter is is

that I didn't know him and Nikki were dating. Tried to no. So I would see Meek out and I'm like, yo, I'm gonna go do this. I'm gonna go do this with with some holes or whatever. I didn't know they was dating. So I'm in the studio just talking like you know what I'm saying. I've seen Meek earlier. You know this that in the third ball I was kicking it. She when snitched on me like it Like, I didn't know that they were dating at all, and that's how we got That's how it happened. But you would see

Meek with girls. No, now you're wrong. Now you wrong. And Meek is my guy, So don't even do that. Meek was just at my birthday dinner. That's my dog, So don't even throw no. I say he was out in the club and Meek was in the companies. Oh yeah, was in the clubs. Host Meek was there. He might not have been doing nothing, got using the club with some hosts. God, you cleared that up for you, bro,

thank you. I'm a woman wearing for me too, because Safari was actually around at the same time too, so like I would be in the studio with Nikki and Safari would be in the studio and then but she was I don't know. It was during that transition period. Yeah, it was a weird time. When did you make the decision like I guess fully commit to the hit maker. Um, I just realized that yo, Like, I got good product,

but people didn't want it from me. They didn't want me to be the one that was delivering the message of delivering a song. So my first big ones were John by Rick Rossing Little Wayne. I was Grammy nominated for that. Shout out to a ke yep Um. Then my next big one was Tamar Braxton the one, and that's what prompted me to fly back and move back to La shout out to Vincent Herban and Tamar Braxton. You know that was that was a good look for y'all, for y'all, no boy like and Tamar It's funniest hair.

It's funniest here with Tamark because after I gave her a hit like, she went on a rant that I didn't do this and I didn't do that or whatever. And then like I was at the b and my awards and like I've seen her and I touched her and she was like Vince, he touched me, and I just touched her on the shoulder, and y'all, I was like, damn, I just gave you a hit. And then from there when when she did it was just like, hi, bird dog, I don't want to look at no man with the mouth.

Listen man, she didn't realize that you worked on the song. Oh, she knew Rest in peace les Sean Angles who just passed. She for sure knew that what I did and what my collaboration to the song was. They took my tag off the song. They went crazy on one in the end. I don't know. They ain't want to give me the credit. You know, I wasn't. I wasn't big enough at that point, I guess. And then she all of my pictures on my likes, my comments, So I guess she want another

bird for you. Is it better for you to like stay behind the scenes and just write and produce or yeah, why would I want to work as hard as they got to work? Yeah, Like I'm I'm I'm in a studio. You think I want to run around like for my single and for my stuff, I'm doing it strictly because they stay Young Bird with finish, He'll never have another hit record again. I went and I had hit records. Now I'm about to have a hit record with exactly

not Young Bird no more. I mean, if I until I get a face off or something like that, I'm still gonna be me. You know what I'm saying. Huh you're married? No, not at all. I see the ring on you. That ring fingers to the game. I'm like Marcus Graham right now, for real, for real, all right, we got more with Young Bird, a k A hit maker with we come back. Let's get into his new joint. It's called Stop Box. It's the breakfast club. Good Morning.

That was Stop Box Morning. Everybody's DJ. Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club hit maker. Young Burg is hilly. Since you said that Levin hipp tried to destroy you, that was the whole situation with Mesica right where they said that you had attacked there, things had gotten physical. Have you guys resolved that situation? Since then, you and Mesica, Me and Mosica talk all

the time. In fact, she actually came up here and told y'all and none of that happened, and Charlote Wayne was sniffing her seat and all that other. I remember that been a long time. I had to be about seven years ago, about ago, about six. Mosica wasn't famous seven years ago, BROI sniffing sea was about six years ago. Loving hip Hop was twenty and fourteen, so it was five years. But there were there were also rumors that

she was dating Jeremiah at a period of time. I think, I don't know, So does that make you feel away knowing that was your ex? And then she dated Jeremiah? No, love Bird, This is this Hollywood like, so let's be clear, like the whole cast, I probably smashed the whole cast of Loving hip Hop when we was on it. It's mad women. I won't even say because I'm not a Kissing Tales type. Dude. I ain't say no names. I'm

just saying, like it's Hollywood. You know how it go? Man, y'all, you know it's kind of like we all say it's weird, but you know I'm not on that no more. I will not be dealing with any leftovers from any of my friends or colleagues that I work with. Just no, I will be important and exporting to doing something out the norm, because no, you most definitely don't disrespect the seeker like that man, that's it. I don't. We might have to go back and look at that footage. It

exists because we live in this era. Like you see someone in the in and that you think that's it all the time, Like you know, you make little Mama cry. I watch I watch all the Breakfast club interviews. Yes you did. I was a while boy back there, black man, don't cheat. We've all wrong, We've all evolved, you know what I'm saying. We are different people. Good morning, Mochica. How are you? Yeah? I don't. I don't like him saying that. He said no, he just said that, you

don't know. I don't know. Maybe I don't know. I mean they did date. It was like him say that, I thought that was something that was known, Like I didn't know that. Okay, So like, hey, guys, if you're dating and you're adult and then you're twenty nineteen, safe to say you didn't got some some action. I mean I wouldn't consider myself dating nobody. If I haven't slept with him, you might not want to give it to you. You might want Wait, you wouldn't be with somebody who's

selling it. Nah. See, I got to smash the first night immediately because I don't Yeah, because I don't want to waste my time. What if you put in like two months in or something and not get something in it? The sexual chemistry isn't there. But record in the past two and a half years, I should't have for one of the eight and a half million records Charlotte eight number ones, so many top tens, I can't even really count them, but I mean before them terribly. That first

night you asked for a do over. Do you ever have to apologize? It depends on how I feel about the chick, you know what I'm saying, Because like sometimes you know, it could just be like an in and out type situation, or if I really want to go in, I would I would catch a redo. Don't you feel like you have to represent in this climate because they'd be like, yeah, I was with a hitmaker, and I don't know why they call him that because that hit

did not make it. Nah. I mean, you got money, you might not have to hit it as hard as you think. So oh, come on, for real, people talk know how much they can say it about me. I do not care what nobody got to say about me. Run my check. I'm happy. I there people that you'll never forgive from during that era that might want to work with you, that are big. But you're like, I'll never work with that Trick. May No, it ain't no reason to work with Trick Trick or may Know anyway

right now. I mean seriously, I mean, God blessed them both of that careers. But I never what people didn't know about the fact that I never met Trick Trick the day of my life. I don't know that, man, I don't know the people. And Mayno, you know what I'm saying. He was He's a cool guy. Like I just think that that guy blown out of proportion and that was something that he kind of took and ran with it on a little press publicity type of thing or whatever. But there there's no reason to work with

them though. Yeah, Charlotte Mane, you're trying to get me in trouble right now, he paused. I mean, I don't listen to I like Mano music, I mean personally, I just don't feel like they're relevant to what's going on. I don't think I'm catching the number one with them. I don't want to leave this out there because you know, everybody's grown, everybody's evolved. People woren't think you took a shot at me. Absolutely absolutely no. I have nothing but

love for Mayno and Trick Trick. Those are things that happened over ten years ago. I cannot carry that type of energy with me. No disrespect, I respect everybody. There you go, and when is that Fall album coming out? I'm gonna just drop single, out the single, out the single, and go platinum with all of them, and then up the album like Tiger and I gonna gold the first week. And what's the name of the album? Big Tom? Who

else is on the album? The whole industry? Charlotte Maagne, Little Duval, black Man, don't cheat, remix on my on my own, Let's do it. I don't know if you into that, if you're part of the Faithful Blackmail Association, I can know you gotta believe in me. You know, I gotta get a part of that. Do you got a girl? You gotta woman? Know, So I mean at some point, yeah, of course, at some point I got

to settle down. I'm getting old. I gotta share these experiences with somebody that we Kevin allowed told me a long time it was to share your experience exactly, because like you can achieve all these goals and then get all this wealth and get everything, and then have nobody to share it with. And then you look back and just be like, damn, I just worked my whole life and now I don't got nothing. But I'm still young, so probably like thirty five. You know what I'm saying.

I get active, can take girls like on vacation and things like that. Yeah, of course, of course I'm just asking. I haven't seen no pictures of that, so nah, see, we keeping on it low. I ain't like Joe Button, like how he was just saying, what, Yeah, I was there that same weekend he was. I know you were together. No, why wouldn't you be with Joe? What's wrong? My man? But I wouldn't know, doant kids with Joe? No? First of all, Joe was dumped off because Joe was with

woman I don't know who. Joe wasn't trying to run into none of us. I've seen her. She was very voluptuous, she was very easy. No, I mean I've seen it on the ground. Just sorry I hit him. No, I was like, you got He was like, let's go get me. I said, let's go get then, and he was like hit me back the next Money's like, man, I would have went out, but I was knee defensive masks last night, Charlottage with a thick woman. You just stuck with Charlotte Maagne and man, that's film in love and hip hop

right now, come on, don't do that, Charlotte. Man, it's the next thing right now? What kind of women are you looking for? Um? Somebody? Well, it's hard. It's remember last time you asked to ask don't even do that. It's hard. It's hard dating, you know what I'm saying now, because it's like you don't know if the woman. See Charlotte Maagne's situation is different, your situation is different. You both known your wives for ever, so y'all really came

from the mud together. Now meeting a chick like like, I love the star Tenders, I love the girls in Starlars, but I can't think that they can actually be one of my girlfriends. They don't know me. They're gonna catch me throwing money at them. In fact, I've never been in Starlars and none of them clubs either. I'm never going to your bar. I never give it lust lust that crazy like the most Bernies. She got a Starlars no more. No, they got new star tenders. Yeah, they

got new one Bird. It's one cup name the cold as bad as one name Winny. That's bad and they all cool people. They got a Graham. Yeah what I'm just looking at your black man exactly what I would make a hit maker bird. Yeah, I appreciate y'all having me many. You didn't made it hot, you made it either. Go get your bible, bro, I'm just looking all right. It's the Breakfast Club? Is Bird hit maker? Yes, sir, this is the rule of report with Angela Ye. Yes.

Stephen A. Smith and Mark Keith Morris started going back and forth on Twitter, and it's over that butt slap from back in twenty seventeen. Right now, Stephen A. Smith was on the Breakfast Club and this is what happened. Have any athletes ever tried to hold your commentary against you? They don't try to press you, they do it every day, like I'm talking about like press you press you like physically. Yeah, it's a couple didn't you get smacked on the butt once? Oh?

That was by Morris for the Washington Wizards. He just slapped me after they won a game. And you know, I thought nothing of it until a couple of days later he said publicly, well I just did that because that's all I could do. And I was like, well, wait a minute, paying around, that's what you were doing. That's like that, like you were serious, like you really And I went on National teathy said, let that happen again. I'm not gonna lie. Somebody smacked me on my butt.

I don't know how to take that either. That actually happen. That happened to me, though, that happened. Remember when I was walking out the club and the god smapped me on my asses. You know, it's different. He's an athletes after a game, right, yeah. But Stephen A. Smith ain't playing, I know. But he didn't think it was a big deal at that time, you know, until he heard differently otherwise.

So Keith Morris went on Twitter and says Stephen A. Smith stopped being a tough guy behind cameras and Mike's have that same energy next time I see you like you had on the Breakfast Club. Gee. Stephen A. Smith responded, it ain't about being done tough guy, bro. I simply pointed out how I thought you were playing around a couple of years ago, and then you publicly stated what your real intent was afterwards to someone in the media. So I said, had I known, it wouldn't have gone

down like that. Period, Boy, don't smack me on my ass, Okay. So yeah, so there was some back and forth about that afterward. But yeah, I guess anything physical, you know, it's like insulting. These guys are old. They ain't gonna be out there fighting. They would look so stupid out there fighting on the court. These guys are old, they are they're older. Stephen A. Smith is fifty years old. He look crazy out there fighting on the court. All right. Now,

little baby is going to stop smoking cigarettes. That's good news. The reason why he's decided to stop smoking is because he got his new teeth. He got his veneers in. So he said he's determined today is the day I started smoking cigarettes. And he said, plus I got new teeth after the fact that it could give you cancer and kill you. But damn, you don't want to miss up the new teeth. Come on, a little baby, you definitely want to miss up the new teeth. But whatever

it takes, I'm happy. I'm happy he stops smoking on Shout the little Baby, all right? And Terrence Howard said he's quitting acting after Empire. He said he's done. He won't be pursuing anymore on camera rolls. And that's that, he said, I'm done pretending. I don't know what's going on. It sounds like he's having a lot of issues in his personal life. I would hate to see him not act anymore. Though he's in some great movies. He's light skinned,

he's like me, he's emotional. He overreacted. I'm sure he'll be back and say, you know what, it was a bad decision, a bad thought. He's just right now, like you said, he's going through right all right. Now, let's discuss Chance the rapper. Now. He did an interview. He was on Big Boy, and he talked about a lot of different things, including Cardi B and Nicki Minaj's beef.

Here's what he had to say. A lot of that stuff is produced, like all the information the way that they phrase it to us, the way that you know that they pit people against it, And I think, I don't want to speak for them at all, but I feel like to a certain extent, they got pushed into that too. And I don't think that all of that was one hundred percent their feelings. I mean, I don't

know if it's manufactured. I mean, I think those two ladies had a disagreement somehow, some ways, something didn't connect and they just really don't like each other. Yeah, but I think that labels probably feel like they benefit off of it, if they definitely benefit off of the beef. But I mean, there's there's a lot of people. I mean, there's some people out there that you don't like eating. It's not manufactured. You just don't like them, and that's cool.

We could be in the same It's not that it's not on that level though, you know what I'm saying, Like when I don't like you, I just ignore you and you don't exist. You write me too, all right now. Also, he talks about being inspired to get married after a conversation that he had with Offset. He was like, everybody doesn't know this, but like this thing between me and Guardia isn't fake. We actually just got married in my backyard like a couple of weeks ago, and we didn't

tell anybody. And this was before I got announced here, man, this was before like everything that's happened through their relationship. And he was like, this is my wife. This is like who I'm gonna be with for the rest of my life. So like, just keep it real with me if you're gonna do this. And I was like, before you said all that stuff, I wanted to do it, but now I'm gonna do it death and I'm gonna propose to my wife since Yeah, just being one hundred

percent clear about it. Offset Yeah, definitely one of the big inspirations and me manning up, I mean that's what it is. I mean, you want to get married in the comfortability of your own house with your family around. I'm not mad at that. Yeah, And that's inspiring when somebody else, you know and respecting the business and has done something that influenced him. So there you have it. All right, Well, um Angela yee, and that is your

rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, Charlemagne's giving somebody donkey today Charlemagne will give me that donkey too. Yes, what did young Charla always tell you? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida But Florida, you can breathe easy. Today the Bronx has stepped up to challenge the Crown. On this fine Friday, the thirteenth, we need a young woman named Abe Opinion to come to in

front of the congregation. We'd like to have a world wader. I don't move. It's to Breakfast cloub God Morning, the breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hiring isn't easy, but there is one place you can go where hiring is simple and smart. That place is zip recruiter,

where growing businesses connect to qualify candidates. Try it for free at zip recruiter dot com slash breakfast zip recruiter the smartest way to hire This don't be a dusk because right now you want some real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we ever feel I need to be a dark man, give me with the heat. Did she get a name? I had become Donkey of

the Day, the breakfast Club. Bitchy, Yeah, donk you today for Friday, September thirteenth, Unlucky Friday the thirteenth goes to a woman named Ava Painia, am I pronouncing that right? Ava Painia. Now avas from the Bronx. And what did your uncle Shula always tell you about the Bronx? Okay, the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and Ava is no exception because Avia is a sergeant for the NYPD. Now we all know

some police officers can be crooked. All cops aren't crooked, but all aren't here to protecting the servisa all right, Some cops abuse their power. Some cops think they are above the law. With Sergeant Ava Painia abused her power of people. Not only did she abuse her power, the hypocrisy is real because Ava did something that she would

usually lock somebody else for somebody else up for. Let's go to news to a Westchester for the report police NYPD sergeant suspended after going on an alleged shoplifting spree and west Chester Police. Instead of taking out her wallet to pay, Ava Painia stuffed about three hundred and fifty dollars ruth of items into her purse that happened at a Macy's in Yonkers. Authorities say she didn't get far, though,

as she tried to leave the store, she was arrested. Painion, now facing penny larceny charge, was suspended without pay from her job as an NYPD sargeant. Now this is actually an indictment against an NYPD because Aba paying your clearly isn't making a lot of money. If she was, she wouldn't have to shoplift. And that's a travesty because public servants like teachers, cops, firefighters, they should be making top dollars and they don't, and that's a damn shame because

it leads them to committing crimes like this. But I don't have any empathy for her, the same way they don't have empathy for people from the hood who sometimes have to take criminal chances to provide for themselves and their families. Now, I don't understand why Aba just didn't rob some drug dealers. All right, pull over some guys who got drugs on them, take their money and earn your three hundred and fifty dollars the good old fashioned copboy.

Have you never seen training day? Now? I don't know how long she's been on the force, but to starting salary for an NYPD officers forty two thou five hundred after five and a half years eighty five thousand plus. So I totally understand why you probably needed to steal a lot of Macy's. But the law is the law. Now you got a petty larceny charge and desk appearance ticket all because you decided to steal from Tommy Hill figure pants, a beated guest shirt, and a lace guest dress.

What do you think of that? Fit? Ye? You ain't that down down in Atlanta? For you know what's interesting? Tommy Hill Figure is back. Really. Yes, when I was actually in France, they had huge Tommy Hill Figure stores and everything everywhere. So people are into it. I think sen Days a Tommy Hill Figure spokesperson. Really, so excuse me. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not mad at that now. Guests, I don't know if that's bad. A beated guest shirt and a lace guest I don't know if beads and

all of that is popping right now? Well add her fit to the reason she's getting donkey all right, some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Aba Painia the sweet sounds of the Hamletones. Oh no you are dogee, oh gee, oh the day. Ye Now, I do want to say, we don't know that she wasn't stealing from these drug dealers. That is true, but if you were stealing from the drug dealers, you would have three hundred and fifty dollars to be able to go

buy out of Macy's. Yeah, but maybe she just likes doing that Womania. Yeah, okay, could be but maybe or maybe she's just addicted to it, like she's dealing from these drug dealers. It's easy. Let me go to the store steal a little something. I understand the feeling. I still steal magazine is right right now. So now maybe you need to give yourself Donkey today a magazine. No, we haven't gotten caught, ye I get caught and arrested, then yes, I'll definitely give myself watch this guy all

right now, coming up, my man, Malcolm Gladwell will be here. Okay, if you've ever read the Outlies, if you ever read Blank, if you ever read Tipping Point, if you ever read David and Goliath, he's got a new book out called Talking to Strangers, And I promise you this book is so necessary for the times that we live in, because none of us know how to communicate with each other. We'll be talking to Milcolm Gladwell when we come back.

It's the breakfast club, The breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy We all the breakfast club. We gotta spell who guests in the building? Oh? Man, my very old brother. He was born on the same day, September three as well. Wait, is there a connection that is crazy? I'm born on September third, He's born September three. Wax was born on September third. Charlemagne's assistant was born up Sember. I think one of my holy friends was

born on September third. Napoleon was born in September th. Wow. Really, Malcolm glad Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Malcolm had the new book out man, and some books are good read. Some books and necessary manuals for the times that we live in. And that's exactly what I think. Talking to Scranges is man a manual for the times that we live in. What we should know about the people we don't know. I think this is your best work. Really, I think first and foremost. But what is this book about.

It's well, it starts with the story of Sandra Bland, which is what inspired the book, and it ends with the story of Sandra Bland, and the middle is an attempt to figure out what happened because for some reason, I don't really have a good explanation why of all of those cases in that I guess it was like a three year run where all those cases were in the news. That was the one that got me. You demanded,

Knox are used rock Turner. No, I'm talking about of all those of all those police from Michael Brown on, they were all horrifying in their own way, but that one I could not get that one out of my head. Yeah, because it was so I mean, it's the middle of the day in a you know, in a college town in Texas, a young professional woman driving down the street pulled over for no reason, and then it just completely unravels. Yeah.

First they're there and the and the weird thing, of course of that case is that we have the whole thing is videotape, so there's no dispute about Usually in those cases, as a dispute, the officer says, well, you know, Blue, the other persons, Well, this one is like, we know exactly what happened, right, And so I decided, and I got obsessed with that tape, and I decided, it's so weird to think that this completely trivial encounter could spiral out of cont role and then in Sandra Blan being

dead three days later that I decided it was sort of I also realized that that encounter was somehow typical that an awful lot of the big, high profile cases that we were obsessed with, we're all about the same thing, which is about strangers meeting each other and something going wrong and then misunderstanding each other, miscommunication. That's where that's where the book begins. You said that the death of Sandraw Blaine is what happens when a society does not

know how to talk to strangers. Like, expound on that a little bit, Well, if you so. A lot of what I'm focused on the book is what are the ways in which we get other people wrong? What are the things that lead us astray? When we're meeting Song for the first time, And then that encounter with the thing that becomes clear, particularly if you listen the cop gives this deposition in journey investigation, and he is totally

weird deposition. But it becomes clear that he's terrified of her because he becomes convinced that she's dangerous and he completely misreads what she is is upset, but he completely misreads someone's discomfort and anxiety and anger at being pulled over as threatening behavior. But doesn't everybody get upset when they get pulled on? Exactly? So wouldn't any cup feel like I think nobody's ever really that pleasant when they get pulled over, especially for something that lane change or

whatever it was she got pulled over for. I felt like it was his ego because he didn't like the fact that she lit the cigarette right, and he didn't like the fact that she wouldn't get out of the car, because it felt like his ego wanted him to wanted her to just bow down to whatever it was that he was telling her to do, and she was challenging him. Yeah, no, he clearly he very quickly gets in over his head.

But he gets in over his head, I think because he makes a series of very rapid assumptions about her that are completely false, right, And that's what it's that part of it. And also secondarily that he's been put in a position like if you go into that Cops history, you realize he was stopping everyone for everything. So this is not some random encounter for him. This is part of a practice not just of him, but of police

officers in general. They are in there's a philosophy of policing that requires them to go out and stop anyone who looks even remote suspicious on the off chance they might be doing something wrong. If you do that, you're gonna get into trouble, right, You're gonna force You're gonna be put police officers in situations where they're they're required to make very rapid assessments of people that are going

to be erroneous. And it's that kind of group of factors that interests me, and I think that shows up like I like Charlomie was saying, the book talks about rock Turner and Sandusky and Amanda Knox and Bernie Madoff. There are all versions of the same thing, which is people meet a stranger and they just totally get them wrong. Right,

you really liked Bernie Madoff. Oh, I let that case is it's fastly on so many levels because it's like super super super smart people are people who consider themselves really really smart. We're completely taken invite, which I just find kind of hilarious, Like there's a certain superiority all among people on Wall Street. They you think they're above all this kind of stuff, and truth is, they're completely

not that the Friends fallacy would that be considered. But so yeah, I have a chapter chapter six, Chapter six, which is I start with an episode of Friends and point out that you can follow an episode of Friends with the sound off because every single emotion that any character of Friends has is displayed perfectly in her face, right, And I had a psychologist as an expert in facial expressions. Go through the episode, and you know, if Joey is angry,

Joey's face looks angry. If Monica is like surprised, her jaw drops and her eyes grow wide, and we if you watch things like that, you get the impression that that's the way the real world works, that you can reliably predict how someone's feeling from their expressions. In fact, that's not the way the real world brooks at all.

And this is a source of big trouble, particularly for police officers who have a whole series of things in their head about what guilt looks like, or what suspicion looks like, or what nervousness looks like if you avert your eyes. An incredible percentage of cops think that if the person they're talking to averts their eyes, it means that they are hiding something or they're guilty. That is

not what it means. On friends, that's what it means, right, But in real life, people avert their eyes for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes there was an incredible remember that show, Remember Copsy, of course there's a guy as a psychologist who is hilarious Dudy where he looks at like four years of Cops episodes and he because in Cops you always know whether the persons who's being interviewed is guilty.

You find out whether they're guilty or innocent. Right, So he looks and it compares the facial expressions of the guilty and the innocent people on Cops. It's real world camera's running, is not in some lab. It's like and what he finds is there's incredible differences in the way that guilty white people, black people, and Hispanic behave and also in credible differences in the way that that innocent

white people black people in his banks behave. It's just different cultural ways of managing a situation when you're talking to a police officer, right, But so you can't have one fixed notion in your head about what innocence looks like if you're out in the real world where people are different at all. Even if I know I'm not doing anything wrong and a cop pulls up next to me or behind me, I get instantly a little nervous. Yea, even though I'm not breaking any law. I'm not doing

anything wrong. I'm not on my phone, my seatbelts on, all my paperwork is right, and I'm like, oh my god, they're about to pull me over. The opposite, I don't get nervous at all. I get more aggressive because I know I did nothing wrong. So it's totally two different situations.

You know, I agree with you, But isn't that kind of dangerous on both sides, Like, because you can judge somebody off their demeanor, And a lot of times when you grow up in a certain environment, that is actually a survival tactic because a lot of times you are correct about people like you even speak about in the book how people cops can tell when somebody has a

gun on them, Well, they think they can't. I don't know whether they're There was one cop who is really good at this back in the day, but he couldn't teach anyone how to do what he did. So I mean, I think there are very limited, rare examples of people that are good at that. But basically, I think a lot of people in these professions are just way overconfident in your ability to read people. And that's we have

to deal with that fact. I think if we're gonna if we're going to prevent these kind of cases in the future. We got more with Malcolm Gladwell, when we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast Club. Good morning Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Malcolm Glad Will Charlomage. Let's let's talk about the Kansas City experiment a little bit, cause you talk about the fundamental misconceptions that police officers carry.

It's not an individual problem, it's a system. It's a system. So this is this is something I've been like banging on a while on for a while and I thought of this, Actually, this is a little jandred in that when Donald Sterling is forced out as and it's because he makes those comments to his girlfriend right about how

he doesn't want her posting pictures on him. And if Ramona Shelburn has this amazing podcast about the case, I listened to it and I was struck by the fact that Shelby Sterling as someone who, over the course of his career twice there were actions brought by against him by the Department Justice and by the on the because he was discriminated against black people in his housing developments, right in his apartment buildings. The NBA doesn't do a thing.

No one says a peep, he's everyone's fine with it. Life goes on, and then he makes these comments to his girlfriend and boom, the world blows up. And Matt Barnes God Blessed makes the most interesting and intelligent point of an entire podcast, and he says, wait a minute, like we knew about this guy for twenty five years, and now you're getting upset. And it's it's this weird thing in society with a personal If someone personally is racist,

we go crazy. But if they are systematically doing something. We're like fine with it, Like it is one hundred times worse if you don't let black people rent apartments in your building, then if you say something racist to your girlfriend, just as like it is a hundred times worse that there is voter suppression in Georgia. Then the governor of Virginia wore black face, Like who cares it?

I mean, are we really surprised at a middle class a middle aged white guy from Virginia who was a frat boy in college at some point in his life was in black face in the seventies. I mean that does not surprise me, right, Like we got upset about that. But the fact that Stacey Abrams probably lost because of some really nasties, that's something that like fades away after. So there's this weird thing where stuff that's about systems just goes over our heads and personal stuff gets us crazy.

We do it every day with Donald Trump. We do it every day with everything obsessed with the so in with cops. The real issue with Sandra Bland is, I mean, it is an issue that this guy is a racist.

The larger question is that there is a philosophy of leasing that says it is legitimate for police officers to go everywhere, even neighborhoods with there is no crime, and stop people just because they believe in the back of their head there is a tiny chance they may be doing something that is a That's not something that individual cops do on their own. It is something they are taught to do, right, And that part that's the that's

the outrage. Yeah, right, Who cares whether when this guy goes home at night, here's a Confederate flag on his wall. The issue is that there's a system that is that is in place, and I what I want to do with this book is kind of get our focus back on the on the systematic things that I agree with you.

When you take somebody who when you when you have a system like that, but then you take somebody who maybe a racist or maybe a bigot, doesn't it make them easier for them to, you know, exert that racism people? It does. But I don't know. I always run up against this thing with racism, was which is so some percentage significant percentage of people, I don't know what it is, no one does, but are probably on some level racist. I don't know what you do about that, right, like

do you. I don't know how you get rid of them. I don't know how you changed their minds. All you can do is you can change the system in which they're operating, or you can so that their racism doesn't get hard. As much about your experience when Bernie Madeoff, Yeah, and how you had to sit down with him, and what your thoughts were, I sat down with, not with made off with the guy who caught Harry Marcopolis. Yeah, Um, who is you know? I think it can be said,

a very weird dude. Um, so he's the He's the guy who, ten years before anyone else figured out that made Off was crook, he knew, Um, he sort of. But the problem with this guy, he's this kind of He's a hedge fund guy from Boston's super smart, but he's completely paranoid. And the reason he doubts made Off is he doubts everyone, but you don't. My point in that chapter is you actually don't want to be that guy. You don't want to live your life thinking everyone is

potentially dangerous or batter. It's like, I think this guy, he strikes me as the most deeply unhappy, But you don't want to be the opposite either. You don't want to be that guy that trust and believes in everybody either, Why not, because that's what most people get got, That's what most people get scammed, That's what most people get taken advantage of our think. I think you could use common sense and like, I like to think that you trust people until they give you a reason. Not too

some people look at it. I don't trust anybody until they until I know them better and I'll vet them out, and it takes a long time to earn your trust. But I feel like, Okay, what you show me is what I'll take it at face value until you prove to me otherwise. Yeah, I think I tend to err. I mean, you're right, you don't want to be completely

gulpable you were. There's some middle ground here. But I really think that happiness lies on the I would rather be occasionally scammed and oh, you know, trusting than be on the other side of the equation and be sort of paranoid. What about can you get somebody based off how they treat other people? Well? So this actually this is an interesting question. So let's say you were journalists basis question. All the time you're writing a profile of someone,

and you have a choice. You can either interview the subject of the profile for as long as you want, however, or you can never meet that person, which you get unlimited access to everyone in their life, all their friends, co workers. Which, if you want to write the most accurate picture of this person, which do you choose? I would say everybody else in their life? Yeah, I think that's that's a better shot at who they are, right because there you would meet someone for an hour. This

goes to my point in the book. It's really hard to get to know a stranger quickly. You meet someone for half an hour in a job interview and they are putting on their best face, they're not being themselves. But if you had unlimited access to every all their former co workers, old employers, family, They're going to give you a far more nuanced picture. There's my last question.

In chapter twelve titles Sandra Bland, you said, we are in that one to come to talking to strangers, and we think we can transform the stranger without cause the sacrifice, into the familiar and then known, and we can't. Then you ask the question what should we do? So what should we do when it comes to talking to scrangers making Gladwell we should be we should There is no easy First of all, it is no simple. Um, this is not a book that ends with this kind of person.

It ends in a pretty dark place. But um, I think we have to be a lot more cautious in the judgments we make of others, and we need be a lot more humble in our in our understanding of how good we are at meeting people. So don't jump to the conclusion. You know, if you're a police officer and you're walking up to Sandra Bland's window and you think your face with this behavior you can't make sense of, don't jump to a conclusion that she's dangerous enough to

get you right. Slow down, ask her questions, be a nice person. I mean, there's this is simply the lesson of all this is that we were just I don't know why we're in such a hurry to to to pigeonhole people and describe them and um and try and identify their patterns and behaviors. Because I gotta get these retweets, I gotta get these likes, Okay, I gotta get these Instagram comments before everybody else. That's why I gotta jump to conclusions. It's it's not it's not it's not healthy. Listen, man,

this is a great book. I think this is the second most important book I read this year. That we're not second best, but like you know, I read two important books this year, Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, great ready, and this Talking to Scranges is a must read. So I think everybody should read it. Thank you so much. Don't you think it's your best work. I think it's my angriest work. M I didn't get that. I got concerned. Yeah, I didn't get angry. Well that's what I'm a very much.

You know, I'm a very mild Canadian. That's what anger looks like. A mild Canadian. You can't read it the same way on him as someone else exactly. All right, Well the book just came out, so we just got our copies. Thank you so much, Malcolm Gladwell talking to strangers. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

It's about some report angela need on the breakfast Club. Yes, Dennis Rodman says that he thinks ten to twenty percent of pro athletes are gay, and the NBA is ready for an athlete to come out. So he said he doesn't think that people will be shocked by an athlete coming out and will be supportive, saying, as long as he plays and performs doesn't even matter. Yeah, nobody cares, bro, if you if you, and I don't mean nobody cares about your life, nobody cares about your lifestyle. Like, well, no,

people do care. Let's be clear you think so, yes, people are still getting beat up on the street, randomly killed gay slurs. Just post something and say that you come out and see all the people that comment under your picture and say nasty, mean things. So yes, people do care. Yeah, But in the NBA, it's a different ball game because these guys are millionaires. These guys can ball. If you can actually play ball, they're not gonna care if you gay in the NBA. I mean, look, in

an ideal world that would be great. In the world that we live in, I don't think that's the truth. And then let's we click. Jason Collins, nobody knew his name until he came out. One of your former Brooklyn Natzier, nobody was. He came out and it was love. He got to play another year or two, all right, Now, Cardi B. She is leading the twenty nineteen BT Hip Hop Awards. She has ten nominations, so congratulations to her.

That's a huge deal for Cardi B. Drake has seven nominations, and Kurti B. By the way, she won four last year at the BT Hip Hop Awards, so congratulations to her. I'm pretty sure she's gonna win a lot this year as well. Christie Emilion, she was talking about hacking into Nick Cannon's phone. You know what, It's crazy. When I

used to work as serious a long time ago. I remember this story because Nick Cannon told me about it, and she has into his phone, and that had a lot to do with them obviously breaking up because he was doing a lot of stuff. Why are you talking about that now? Though she was sucking to she was on in news digital series just to sip, and she looked back at the time when she did that, so I guess it's just something that happened to her. She thought things were going well. I remember he was telling

me about this. He was like filming a movie or something. One of them was out of the country filming a movie. And here's what she had to say. When I was dating Nick cannadite, like the passwords somehow worked on the sperm the first check and I was right, and then the next thing, you know, I was reading for like a month. I was reading messages. I was stuck in Romania. I had time, so I was like, I cannot bust him while I'm away. I need to bust him in person.

So in the meantime, I'm gonna get my intel make sure that this was for real, for real. And it was for real, so it was enough. Yeah, she was in Romania filming something and he didn't think it was a big deal. I remember him discussing it. But I'm sure he's going to address it as well. All right, now, Kanye West, the new Yeazy's. A lot of people are laughing at those crocs, the Yeasy film runners. Yes they are crocs, crocs to me, you like them? No? Are

you gonna wear them? No? But if they're comfortable, no? Oh. Let see, that's the different ball Now. It's a different ballgame because I'm at that age where comfortability means more than meeting how something looks. Did you get rid of those corns? I got? I got one shaved off my left pinky toe. But it's starting to come back. But she told me that was probably gonna happen. And when I got a shaved it was months and months ago, So I just need another shave. Okay, So you shave

your toe, all right. So maybe those easy cracks might do the truck. Yeah, but they look stupid, all right. And Odep Beckham Jr. He is, as you all know, playing for the Browns Now and he talks about a situation where he said that Brown's players were instructed by their former coach Greg Williams to injure him during a preseason game in twenty seventeen. So he's going to be playing the Jets and right now, william still coaches his players to hit dirty in his current position on the

New York Jets. According to Odell Beckham Junior, here's what he said, like your preseason, like nobody in the NFL is really out to do stuff like that. And you know, I had players on this team telling me that that's what he was telling them to do. Take me out of the game and his preseason you just you just know who he is. Well that's whack. Yeah, that is the fact that you can have done that and then

get back into the league afterwards. Yeah, I don't think that you truly love the support if you want to see the best players in the league or any player in the league, you know, get hurt on purpose, you know what I mean? Like, that's why, right, And by the way, why would you do it? Why would you do that as a players should be a cold amongst players, Like, No, I'm not gonna do because I don't want anybody to do that to me. Absolutely mess that man's livelihood up.

He can't provide for his family. That's the lane because it's already dangerous enough. Rob Gonkowski said he's probably had twenty concussions in his life from playing football, and he said he even had five blackout moments, so imagine that. Also, I just want to make sure you guys know that Angela Right is hosting a BT town hall on the mass student debt crisis and voter empowerment and that's all
