Flow seventy yes negative, seventy negative seventy negative. Oh yeah, I did read that because they say it's gonna be colder in Chicago than it is an article. Wow, and

let me tell you something. Yeah, so and relatively speaking, it's not that cold compared to what it could be. Like a man, I was in Detroit over the weekend last weekend and I was like, I think I have frost bite, but my hands were all numb and everything, and everybody's like, you don't have frost bite. What exactly is frost by that? When your hands turned the ice cartoon and then break off, they turned black. I was looking at pictures of it this morning, and we're gonna

talk about it more during front page news. Just science that you're getting fro us, But I just dont you know your hands be all numb, but I didn't know your hand your fingers turned black, and I think I read. I read an article yesterday that I said, like fourteen or fifteen homeless people were found dead in Chicago because of the freedom temperatures. Yeah, it's really bad. So they said even the US Postal Service won't be going out in some places because the weather is so terrible. Minnesota

could be seventy degrees below the wind show. We'll make sure you put on your big coat. Okay, that's what my wife said to me this morning fall left the house. She said, you ain't got no cold longer than that? What you mean longer, it's not about length visit. Well, thank god, we wouldn't be together.

Co owner of Philadelphia seventy six is Michael Rubin. Michael Ruben, he's part of the whole reform initiative with Meek Mill. Okay, if you don't have alliance, if you don't know who Michael Rubin is, he's one of the rich white guys that's around Meek Mill. Mill said, maybe it's the Michael Rubins, all the Robert Crafts, and he's been a businessman since he was like eight years old. Very interesting story. He has net worth of a few billion dollars, but you

know who's counting his pocket He's not. You don't even want to talk about that, I bet. But more importantly, it's about the Reform Alliance that he'll be up here discussing, among other things, and how did it even get involved in that? You know, he's going to talk about his aha moment when he realized about the injustices that black people have to face here in America. Yes, Also, you know we are going to do front page News, and since we're talking about injustices, we're going to talk about

Jesse Smillett. Because this was really sad. This really hurt my heart because I've done several events with him. He's been up here on the Breakfast Club, we watched him on Empire. Really a great person and the fact that we live in a country where people still think like this under this disgusting. We'll discuss that page News. Also, all right, it's the World's most dangerous more to show. It's Wednesday, Cass, what day it is? Cass what day

it is. Let's talk morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne and the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. It's cold outside. I just want to tell everybody give yourself extra time. A lot of schools are opening late. It's nasty out on speed. My daughter school we got canceled this morning. Cancel really, yes, sir. They sent me the text message on the way in, but I already had her not going to day anyway, because it's like a bunch of kids at our school

got the flu, like literally late. Everybody's thirteen kids home because of the flu. So I was like, oh, well, you're staying home. The rest of My daughter had the flu, and we actually didn't know. We just thought she was sick. She wasn't eating, and we took her to the hospital and then they said she actually was coming off of the flu. So we were very lucky. So it works out because she won't be missing a day because they cancel school anyway. There you go, Well, let's get in

some front page news. What we're talking about you, Well, we were talking about the weather. As you said, it is freezing outside. It's extreme weather. If you have a flight, some flight have been canceled. They said there's about twenty seven hundred flights that were canceled. A lot of them were going in and out of Chicago airports. Even Amtrack's not going to Chicago right now. They're saying the weather

it's so extreme in Chicago. Now, this weather is going to affect so much of our population, seventy two percent of the continental US population. We'll see those temperatures drop below freezing over the next few days, so that affects a lot of us. We said, the weather so bad, even the US Postal Service is not going to be going out as well. So just make sure you check your flights. I know people are flying to Atlanta. Just make sure if you got a flight, how's your flight? Um,

so far it's fine, Yeah, so far, so good. I'm leaving today. So it's like, what does negative seventy degrees feel like? I don't want to know. And be careful with for us, but they said, you can get first fight in just minutes, so in a lot of places, just make sure you are bundleduck, keep your hands bundled up, your your feet, your ears, everything. I just showing Denver it was negative fifty and you couldn't breathe. Like walking,

you couldn't breathe. It it felt like your breath was frosch and every time you try, it's like it was. I don't I'm not a smoker, but I would take it as somebody that smoked a lot and just ran up a stairs and really couldn't catch their breath and got that. Gotta be a different level of shrinkage, right, like very, I didn't check. I wasn't thinking about my shrinking everything about your shrinkage, Bro, I'm just saying, I gotta be very I'm not thinking about my penis when

it's very humbly. All right. Now, let's talk about Jesse Smillett. This was really start from Empire, UM and he's openly gay. He also plays a gay character on the show Empire. And according to UH sources, they're saying that he was going down to get a sandwich from subway. He was hungry, and that's when he was brutally attacked. Now, this attack happened by according to police, the police department in Chicago. They said that, um, he was going to go out

and they were yelling homophobic slurs at him. They recognized him from Empire. They had a Maga hats on. They screamed, this is Maga country. They were actually they were wearing ski masks and they was they said, this is Maga country. This is what they were screaming at him. They aren't you that? And they yelled at a gay slur. Obviously pre plan empire, obviously pre planning. They were waiting for him, which is so sad. I mean, they could have been playing.

They put a rope around his neck. Who carries bleach with them? Like who walks around with bleach? You know what I mean? It's like nobody walks around with bleaches, walks around with a noose. That's what I'm saying. That's what I said it. They was probably waiting on him, pre playing. But they said he had just landed. Though he just landed with the subway at like two in the morning. I don't know. Let they follow him Homelet

thing was waiting at his house? Maybe they were. And you know, you have been getting all kinds of death threats and letters saying you will die black gaysler word And that letter was sent eight days ago to the Fox studios in Chicago, now here is what Lee Daniels had to say. Jesse, you are my son. You didn't deserve, nor anybody deserves, to have a noose put around your neck, to have bleach thrown on you, to be called die

or whatever they said to you. It starts at home. Yo. We have to love each other regardless of what sexual orientation we are, and no racist can come in and do the things that they did to you. Hold your head up, Jesse, It's just another day in America. Tay something Man, twenty nineteen. This story sounds unbelievable, especially being at the Chicago Maga Country. Now, if it was in the South, I would say it sounds about right, but hate crimes have been on the rise in most major cities.

It just sounds like something you would see in a movie on a TV show, But sadly it's not his real life. So I'm sending positive energy to Jesse, and I hope to people who did that too, you get shot. All right, Well, that is your front page news, and we'll be talking more about this this morning and letting you know any details that we might have to give us more information on who these disgusting people were that would do something like this, Michelle to the og Steve Harvey.

I love y'all from Detroit, See y'all later. And that podcast you're talking about was November. That was when my daughter went out with a white young man and I said, I didn't have a problem with it.

Ain't got your folt, get it off your chests. Eight hundred and five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Now you we got rumors on the way. Yes, we'll be talking about the Wendy Williams show. What is the

plan for that show? Right now, we'll tell you what star is taking over the duties in the meantime while she's trying to get it together. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep a lock. This the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to these rumors.

Let's talking Nick Cannon, She's filling the tea. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All Right, well, Nick Cannon, first of all, is gonna be taking over Wendy Williams duties for her show on February fourth, fifth, and sixth. We already told you that Wendy Williams family has announced that she's recovering from her

fractured shoulder. She's been in the hospital as a result of symptoms from her Graves disease, and the staff doesn't want to get back to work, so everybody's hoping that she's well. They said, the mood of the set is good. They want money to get better, but in the meantime, that's one of the feelings. Did she say fractured her shoulder. No, No,

she has not. Don't spoke anything so anything. I don't think. Yeah, she's I mean, you know, it's been this has been ongoing since she fractured her shoulder in December and then she was slurring her words on the air. She said it was the pain killers and she was taking those painkillers to treat her fracture. That's right, Nick, Well, Nick, you're going in you wear that turban and skid and white people in daytime, Okay, Well, it's interesting you say that.

Cousin Nick Cannon has an interview with guests of Rizza Islam. Now that is Rizza Islam is a humanitarian. He's also a soldier under the Honorable Minister Lewis Farrakhan. He's an educator, an activist. And they were discussing black men and white women. Now here is what Nick Cannon had to say about dating white women. White women are looked at as success because in America, we see a white woman. I couldn't have you, My daddy couldn't even my granddaddy couldn't have

I would get killed even king at you. People. If they thought I whistled at you, they would murder me. So now if I played for the NBA, I want them all and I could afford them all. That's what That's what they're thinking. Nick got a step. That's such an old, outdated way of thinking. That's the zoot suit conk Arab mentality, that's an eighties mentality. Like we really got to stop pushing narratives that have clearly changed in our society. Like we're so caught up on what was,

you're not paying attention to what is. Like I've told y'all before like, like, if you go to black demographics dot Com, eighty five percent of all black men have a black wife and ninety percent of black women have black husbands. And if you want to talk about athletes and entertainers, just look at twenty nineteen. Lebron got a black wife, Kevin Hart got a second black wife, Jay z got a black wife, Chris Paul got a black wife, The Washington got a black wife, way he got a

black wife. His guest in the Nation of Islam is An Islam had to say in response, the black woman who has been there for us the whole damn time, Who was there when us when we were getting lynched, Who was there for us when we were getting whipped every day, Who was there for us to heal our wound, to give us consolation of mind, to bring us peace in quieter mind, to help us to get through another day.

If you can give up on a black woman so easily, you don't deserve no other woman, because you have demonstrated that you can't give enough love to the number one who needs it the most. Mars Chesterner got a black wife, Well Smith got a black wife, or Cojo got a black wife, symbol exactly success they used to be. Listen, is a fact that the zoot suit conc air mentality, Yes,

but the narrative has totally changed. In twenty nineteen. All right, Bron, let's talk about what Lebron has done for Octavia Spencer. They worked on the biopic about Madame CJ. Walker, who was in America's first black self made millionaire. At the Sundance Film Festival, she was discussing how Lebron actually intervened

to help her negotiate her deal. For Madam CJ. She said, we need all our male counterparts, counterparts to be in the fight with us, and he intervened to make sure that she was going to get the pay that she deserved. And you know, Octavia Spencer has been very vocal about that as well. All right, now, let's talk about j Low. I don't know if you guys have seen how incredible that she looks. How can you notice? But I'm gonna tell you what she just did, because she just did

a ten day no sugar, no carbs diet challenge. So that's why she's extra avs, muscles and all of that. And she posted a picture which did he liked and uh, A Rod had to check him after that. He did, Yeah, you didn't see that, nor og with the hard eyes? Where did Jlo walking with that croptop one? Or that was not New York's la. I'm sure Nott in Minnesota. It's not in Chicago, it's not in Detroit, all right.

So anyway, she tried to actually recruit a bunch of people to join her in this ten day no carbs, no Sugar challenge. What did a say? When did he said? Oh my gosh, heart, heart heart. He said yeah, he said something like I'm a lucky guy. Oh yeah, absolutely yourself. Did he relax? I see you think did? He didn't say nothing? But wow, eyes don't say why did he? Diddy and Jaylo hadn't dated, we wouldn't have been looking at it like nothing. Yes, we would have would have

looked at it regardless. And if I'm from a Rod, I'm looking at it the same way. Stay in your lane, Jlo. Further of all, we just heard Diddy complaining about being too fat, the driving a Rolls Royce fandom with his shirt off to get Jelo's attention. He should do the no sugar nor he should. I'm sure he'll do it too. I'm sure. No sugar, no cars, no rock for thirty days. We should try that. I do that now, No sugar, no cards. Absolutely. The only thing is I definitely eat

a lot of fruits. No fruit, got a lot of sugar out. I mean I do, but it satural sugar, snatural sugar. But you just can't overdo it, all right. So they were talked about the side effects too, and they said there's bad breath leg crams. According to medical professionals, you got to make sure you're eat enough vegetables, a chicken, enough water in a little carb diet because if you don't, you won't be able to poop poo. So anyway, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right,

thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, we got front pages. What we're talking about, Yes, we are going to be talking about the weather. Of course. Also, I was telling you yesterday about how you can actually do that group FaceTime to call somebody and even if they don't pick up, you can hear them and start talking. But we'll tell you what happened now with Apple. Okay, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep a lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning. I can't stand

the man. I can't. It got to be stopped. Why did I in turn this make your rain on me with honey packings? Yeah? Just throw a bunch of honey packings? Did you like it? I mean, I'm putting it in my tea? There you go? All right, Well morning everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. Yes, first, let's talk about this weather. The weather is awful right now, so you got to be really careful if you're traveling

this weekend. There's been over twenty seven hundred flights so far that have been caned, so especially in the Chicago area. They're staying in Chicago, amtracks not even running, so you know it's cold, So just make sure you check out what you're what's happening with your flight. They're saying in Minnesota it's going to be negative seventy with the windshow factors. So I read jesterday that fourteen homeless people died in Chicago. I'm sure, I'm sure a lot of people will probably

die so cold. It is freezing out there right so officials are warning there could be almost instant for us bite. It's temperatures in the region are getting below zero, so just be super careful when you're going out. Make sure you're bundled up. If you don't have to go out, it's a good time to stay in. Put on your big coat, all right. We know your wife told you that this morning when we put my long cold on. Yes, I say it's not about length, but he didn't put

it said I know I'm married to you. All right. Now, let's talk about Jesse Smillett and Empires are Jesse Smillett. Now, Chicago police aren't investigating the attack. Now they're saying that he did get some type of letters that were mailed to Empire earlier in the week and those were some threats made in the form of a letter toward him, and now they're investigating what is possibly a hate crime.

He was in Chicago early Tuesday walking outside around two am and then someone started shouting racial and homophobic slurs at him. That's when two men attacked him. They poured an unknown chemical substance on him, which they possibly say could be bleached, and wrapped a rope around his neck.

According to Jesse Smillett, he told the police. They told the police that you know they was bleached on him possibly and that they yelled out Maga Country and the rope was still around his neck when he was found. According to officials, he did do a follow up interview where he confirmed the Maga Country. Some people were saying that didn't happen. He was found. I thought he walked to the hospital. Yeah, they said when they found him

he still had a rope around There's so many different stories. Yeah, but he did give that statement to the police for he did say that the suspects did yell at Maga Country now thirties do have surveillance images of him inside of the subway restaurant before the attack, but they don't have any video of the assailants. He was treated at the hospital. They are taking this investigation very seriously and they're treating it as a possible hate crime. Question why

did they keep saying impossible hate crist They're still investigating. Yeah, but if he said that he got attacked to me yell gay and racial slurs, isn't that a hate crime? Like? Why is it possible? Or I don't get it. I mean, I guess it's no crime. Did happen, crime happened, So why is a possible hate crime if he said that's what it was, That's what it was. Right now Here is what Lee Daniels had to say. Jesse, you are

my son. You didn't deserve nor anybody serves to have a noose put around your neck, to have bleach thrown on you, to be called die or whatever they said to you. It starts at home. Yo. We have to love each other regardless of what sexual orientation we are, and no racist can come in and do the things that they did to you. Hold your head up, Jesse. It's just another day in America. Man. It sounds like something you would see in a movie on a TV

show over Sally's real life. So sending positive energy to Jesse, and I hope the people who did that to him get shot. And Lee Daniels is right, it does start at home, because you know yesterday when I was I dropped my daughter off at Chilean competition, and I was going on my way to the gym, and I had some sweatpants and a hoodie and a camouflage ten deep jacket. You know, you dressed like that to go to the gym. So I'm the I'm in the gym, and I take

a sip of water. And it's these two young white kids, like young I'm talking about six or seven too, young white boys. And he goes, I think I see a criminal talking about you. Yes, so, And I'm like, I know, I just hear what I think I think I heard. So he said it again, this little friend. So I said, yo, bro, all black people are not criminals, all right, okay? I whoever taught you that is teaching you wrong? And then I gave him a high five and then he goes,

oh it's got a high five. Wow. Literally, So it just it changed just like that. But it does start at home because somebody is teaching that little boy that how do they know you steal from target? Shut up? Because I mean you are a criminal? You do still from target? You know what you know could be your own people, you know, because they will be kind of right, you know, people think about it like it would be your own mean if you still are you a criminal? Right? Yes?

I do so you're criminal. He was like, here, that's right, that's not that young man was right, that's not criminal. That's probably he knows that criminal goes that criminal yew people all right and just say, you know, apple has disabled group FaceTime, So no more of those trying to listen to a disabled this, disabled this group, your criminals disabled this. I thought you stopped stealing your criminal all right, and that is your front page news. Get my half five.

I just got a half five from criminal that I said, all right, when we come back. When we come back, we have of the sixies. Michael Ruben will be joining us. We'll kick it with him. With Michael Rubin. If you don't know who that is, that's one of the rich white guys that be with Meek mill okay own a coon of the Philadelphia seventy six. Is he's not a criminal. Maybe it's the Michael Rubin's daughter, Robert Kraft. He probably is a criminal. That probably I became a billionaire. We'll

find out, all right when we come back. It's the breakfast club with j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. Might be the richest person that ever been in the room. I think so. Then I hope that actually why why I want to be the poorest guy keeps doing better and better. The streets say you a billionaire, billionaire, like a billionaire billion like a billionaire billionaire,

not net worth billionaire like real life liquid billionaire. Any truth to these rumors? You know, I'll talk about just about anything, but net worth is definitely not where I'm gonna start. How's that for? You know, I want to start because that's not how I want to make My name is based on us. Yeah, bird, he likes to talk about like success stories that I love, like good American success. Of course, let's talk about that. How you started?

Because your story is really inspiring. So that started out? Could you let him tell the story? You started the story? Kid? Can you start your story as a kid, how you got into the ski shopping? Yeah, well I could tell you this. I was like a horrible athlete. I was a terrible student, like Charlemagne. Yeah, which part the athlete. The only thing I was good at was business, and I was good at it from the time I was

a little kid. So like I literally when I was eight years old, I had like three different business businesses. I would go like door to door it was snowing, I would get five kids to work for me. I'd literally sell the snow shoveling. I loved those kids. By the way, so hustling. Did you shovel the snow? You had them shovel it and you were in charge. No, I tell you athlete already. No, I have to be an athlete. I would have had a heart attacker. Even

at that age, I was like Muslin Durance. I didn't have enough muscle doors week because I'll tell you what, I could sell those doors really quickly, and you know, it's snowed, and we could do thousands of dollars in businesses an eight year old, and I had all the kids working for me. It was it was very efficient. Where were you from, Pennsylvania? Yeah, from suburban Philadelphia. Yeah, so every winner you would take up. When I went to a ski camp one year and I came back

and this is really how the real business started. I learned how to tune skis, and a friend of mine said, like, hey, you love business. It's really the only thing you're good at. You love skiing. Why don't you start a little ski tuning shop in your parents' basement. I did that when I was twelve, and then by the time I was fourteen, I actually opened my first real retail ski store was

Eminence from my parents' house at twelve, at fourteen years old. Yeah, I started in my basement at twelve, but away when I was thirteen, I did twenty five thousand dollars in my parents' basement. Damn, no overhead, no overhead, made fifteen grand. Did you play taxes? That's a great question. Let me let me say, Let me say this the grounds that it could have criminated me, and I don't know. I'm

not gonna answer that question. From seven years and earlier they came Yeah, I don't think so, but still me, they may come after me, And I really don't know. It was. I mean, I hate to admit him forty six thous so it was like thirty three years ago. But so when I was fourteen, I my first ski shop, and being a fourteen year old only a ski shop, you get a lot of media attention. So that helped

drive the business. And I did like one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in business and made a nice profit, and then I got a little bit cocky. By the time I was sixteen, I had a bigger ski shop and at the end of the season didn't snow. So I was literally sixteen years old, I had two hundred thousand dollars in bills, I had one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in inventory a brand new car. That's the

that's the story I've always come out of lane. I actually did buy a Porsche as a fifteen year old, even though it wasn't allowed to drive it here Pennsylvania. The I mean, yeah, yeah, I need a couple drinks before we start talking about that. I got perfect so, so I had so, I had the ski shop. So now I'm literally like basically bankrupt. And um in the spring of when I was sixteen years old, I literally got sued probably a hundred times. That's suit a fourteen

year old. They no one knew how old I was. I was sixteen at this, Yeah, sixteen years old. I owed two hundred thousand dollars to like one hundred and fifty vendors, and each of the vendors assuming because I didn't have the money to pay the bills. So now I think I'm going bankrupt, and I hired a bankruptcy lawyer, and the bankruptcy lawyers, going through this whole conversation says, by the way, how old are you actually sixteen? He says, well,

that's the best new because I've ever heard. Because you're not allowed to own money at sixteen, and so I ended up getting very lucky. It's the first time I ever went to my parents to borrow money. And I went to my dad said, hey, I can get out of this bankruptcy problem. I need a barrow thirty eight thousand dollars, which was a ton of money. Thirty eight thousand dollars tons of money. And my Dad's like, look, it's a ton of money, but if you agree to

go to college, I'll end you the money. Two weeks later, I find another ski shop that went bankrupt, two hundred thousand dollars in inventory. They got sold for thirteen thousand dollars in an auction. So I bought the ski shop for I bought all the inventory for thirteen thousand dollars. I said, Dad, great idea, I just I just bought this two hundred thousand dollars inventory for thirteen thousand dollars. He looks at me and says, there is no chance

I'm giving you another penny. You got yourself into this, Mesico, figure it out. So I started at sixteen, So I started going to all my neighbors, and I found the neighbor who said, I'll lend you the thirteen thousand dollars because you're gonna make a lot of money from this. What area is this way? A neighbor just this is great, he says, I want a thousand dollars a week interest. Only three weeks later, I sold maybe a quarter of the inventory and paid back all the money plus the

three thousand dollars interest. Wow. And what that giant failure did was it taught me into a brand new business. By the time I was twenty one years old, I was the largest whole seller of closeout footwear in the world, doing one hundred million dollars making ten million dollars a year. I tell you the story because I saw death and the size as a sixteen year old, I thought I was going bankrupt, and then that got me into the closeout business and I became the biggest close out seller

of footwear in the world. Were you boring into money? I grew up in a very middle class family. I mean, you know, the house that my parents bought that they lived in my entire life was a forty two thousand dollars house, So very middle class, but if you just joined us. We are talking with co owner of the seventy sixes, Michael Ruben, and now tell us about this g SI Commerce. What company was that? Because you started that company, tell us about that and how you did that. Yeah.

So after I nearly went bankrupt and I bought this pretty big business buying and selling excess footwear. That led me to basically I then had a couple of footwear brands in my early twenties, and then the internet thing came in nineteen ninety eight. I knew nothing about it, and we were a public company with about a two hundred million dollar value of the company. And there was one person who was an analyst who actually followed our company. He called me said, hey, Michael, what are you doing

about this Internet thing? So I did what any entrepreneur would do. I started calling the big accounts from my existing business. So I called but your model a Modell's, and I called the sports authority. I called Dick Sporting Goods, and I called all the big sporting goods retailers. I said,

what are you guys doing about this Internet thing? They said, you know, we think it's a really good opportunity, but we have no idea how to approach it Like you're young, if you if you have some Internet solution, bring it to me. And so I, basically, having no experience, I basically started GSI Commerce and I went and I got the five biggest sporting goods retailers to give me all of their e commerce rights over long term deals. And that's how we started GSI Commerce, which then over time

we started to work with lots of other retailers. So it became the biggest infrastructure for big retailers to run and big brands to run their e commerce business, and it became a pretty big company. I sold it in two thousand and eleven the eBay. It was a public company. They bought up for two point four billion dollars. And that's how you made your first initially huge huge money. Yeah. Absolutely. Now let's talk about the seventy six is. How did you become co owner of the seventy six is? How

did you do that? After you sold GSI. We sold GSI to eBay in spring in two thousand and eleven, and Josh Harrison Dave Blitzer put a deal together to buy the team. At the same period of time. Coincidentally, the owner of the Sixers. Ed Snyder was a terrific individual who started the Flyers and was responsible for the Sixers. He was my extra neighbor. So he sold the team to Josh and Josh and David Blitzer and they were looking for strategic partners that could, you know, really kind

of add some value to the business. And seventy six is back and for me, my primary business then and today is still Fanatics, which is the largest retail in the world of life sports merchandise. So I've been in business with the NBA from two thousand and you're really from ninety nine from my old company. So I knew David Stern and Adam Silver really well. And the truth, the real story was, I called David Stern. I said, hey,

you know, I met Josh Harrison and David Blitzer. You know I'm thinking about, you know, kind of doing this with them. We're having this conversation, what do you think? And David said to me, You're the only one I know if there's ever an issue, I know to call you. So I want you involved with this, and that's how I got involved with the Sixers. So it was a combination at Josh and David putting the deal together, and David Stern told me he thought it was a good

idea for me to do it. We have more with Michael Ruben when we come back. Co owner of the Philly seventy six is so Don't Move is to Breakfast Club. Good morning, dj Envy Angela Yee Schelomagne. The guy we are the breakfast club we have co owner of the seventy six is Michael Rubin? Into building? How did you meet meet Meal? First of all, how did you meet me?

Established this place? Yeah? So it was we were at the All Star Game maybe five years ago, and my daughter at that point was a fan of Nikki and he and Nikki were sitting next to us. Oh yeah, I feel the same way. By the way, my fault. Um So, my daughter was just talking to Nikki and me. It's like, you know, in his way, he's like who are you. I'm like, you know, I'm like or he's like, oh you're the sixerst guy. No, no, no no no, And

I'm like, who are you? And he said and then within a second what I loved about me from the from the moment I met him. He just started peppering me with business questions, like hey, if I want to do this, how would you do do that? And if I want to just do this in sports, and if I wanted to put this deal together, and in a lot of ways, he was a similar version of me from a completely different environment. And so he started coming coming to a lot of our games after we became friendly.

And one night maybe we'd hung out at the games maybe ten times, and we were at halftime and I remember this for the rest of my life. I said, um, hey, you I'm going with friends to the Brogada afterward. You want to come? He said, I'm not allowed. I'm like, do you need permission from your mom? Is literally I said you need permission from your mom? I was joking. I was being a wise ass, like yeah, He's like, no, I'm on probation. I'm like, how's this probation they work?

I'm not allowed to leave. I'll get arrested. And what you do again he took from this is, you know, going back five years ago, He's like, I was charged reporting a gun. He's like, Michael, if a black person points a gun at multiple cops, they're dead. Period. At his story. And so, you know, we were let's say we were becoming more and more friendly. You know, by the time November six of twenty seventeen happened, he'd become

one of my five ten closest friend. So going back to two thousand and seventeen, first he had these these two really minor incidents, the pop in the wheelie and the break up the fight in the airport, and so I started to make my own phone calls to find out is everything he's telling me true? Always hearing was everyone loves him, but he's got this crazy judge. The first thing I kept getting back he's done everything he's been asked from a probation for fact of you know,

he's well liked. He's a good guy. Yeah, he's he like a little bit on rap times sometimes, but this is a good guy. You know, he's doing lots of charitable things. I couldn't hear anything bad about him. So now the judge sets a probation. Hearing he's like, Michael, I'm really nervous about this, and like, do you want me to come? He's like, you know what, I don't want to put you out again, Like I you know,

but if you have, So I went down. I remember that this was probably the moment I'll remember most of mine's higher nothing more than this moment. So I go in the courtroom and now it's supposed to I think, sorry, either one or two o'clock. And like forty five minutes later, the judges isn't there. So now I'm like, okay, what is going on? Like, hold on, we had a time, she's not here, what's going on? She comes in and

I watched the probation officer get up. And the probation officer gets up and says, like, you know, we watched Robert Williams developed. He's done everything we ask. We think he's a model probation. We recommend no sentence. Then the die gets up. District attorney from you know, Philadelphia, recommend no sentence. Now we're like three hours into this thing, and the judges literally berating the probation officer. She's screaming to the probation officer, why that's what I'm seeing this

all firsthand? So like, you don't know what you're talking about. I've been involved with this case for ten years. You you know, you know, you've only been about for a short period of time. You don't know what I've been through. I'm like, oh, I want to do is say my phone out and record it. So now we're three hours into this thing. They take an intermission and we walked to the bathroom and I said, like, like I was sorry, I said to the lawyers right before. I'm like, I like,

I'm assuming everything's fine. Like everybody said, probation officer and DA both recommendations. The lawyer said, here's the good news. In the history of anything they knew, they've never heard of someone where the judge goes against the probation officer and the DA they were aligned. So we go to the bathroom like, yo, bro, there's no problem, You're completely good, Like there's nothing away to dinner. After it is and and I walk back in, there's like five cops walk

in it. So she sits down. The first thing she says, I'm sentencing you two to four years to stay prison. And I literally I look at me, and he always wants to be missed, a tough guy. His eyes trimed pink, you know this, tears coming out of his eyes. I've tears coming out of my eyes. And I looked him, I'm like, I will not stop until you're out of prison.

And she's off the bench wow. And and by the way, and jay Z basically called into this exactly the same thing, like we're doing this together, Like I will not stop until he's out of prison. Yep. But if you just joined us, we're talking with Michael Rubin, co owner of the seventy six, is can continue? Charlomagne, what was your initial thought when when my initial thought was that this was a completely crazy judge that my original thing was,

we started saying, Okay, let's look at this judge. So I said, rightway this, there's something the matter with this judge. This judge is wrong. So we started making a lot of donations to people that were hiring investigators, and now everything I thought was true. We found out that the judge had over thirty individual lawsuits that she had sued people individually, people that she was saying, I'm a judge, you can't do this, or get out of the apartment that I own, or I'm gonna you know, I'll have

your victim because I'm a judge. We actually found a police officer, current police officer, who's doing construction for her, and I'm surprised the story hasn't come out. She kept changing what you wanted and Ultimately, the police officer said, I'm no longer gonna like you keep changing what you want. I'm not doing anymore, So she fires the cop from doing doing the work. She then reports him for breaking

into her house and stealing his tools. She then tells someone in her house that she hid the tools off site. She then was so dumb she sent an email to the person in writing saying, when you testify, here's what I want you to say. And then we got the computer and got all the information. Because the criminal justice system is broken and she shouldn't be. And by the way, I don't believe she will be in a year from now. The behavior she's got away with any of us, including me,

would be imprisoner. I wish she would because if she did, we could take a discovery from her, and that that she's threatened to assumeing multiple times, But she doesn't have the courage because she knows the second she sues me that she's gonna have a hundred lawyers getting discovery from Michael money. Yeah, but I would love her assuming that would be we could be great on her. I would I'd be excited about Is she still presiding of a mixed case I'll fast forward than come back to this

in a second. So I didn't tell you. The greatest to evolved Hershey Park. She goes to a legal convention at Hershey Park and in the middle of the night she wakes up and apparently there's someone's name tag had fallen into the bed. It happened hundreds of times, according to Hershey Park. She said that she had severe trauma from the name tag it was in the bed, and that she sued Hershey Park, but she's had PDST from whatever. Yeah, I can't get happen. And literally, Hershey Park had never

been sued and it had happened hundreds of times. But she said, basically, I'm a judge, and so if you don't pay me, then I'm gonna sue you. And they

ended up settling it with her. And by the way, and by the way, just last year she got in a car accident and in her most recent lawsuit, which she filled, after all, this guy, this stuff happen of meek, which if I were hurry'd be like, I'm not following a lawsuit when I know there's a bunch of people coming after me, right, And she said, literally she couldn't

do her job. So it's like decide, like, you've either had so much damage from this car act that you can't do your job and she should have been off the case, or you haven't had the damage and you can do your job, but you can't you can't have had tremendous mental damage and also you can do your job at the same time. So originally I was so totally focused on her improper behavior. Me kept saying to me, I know what you saw is bothering you so much, is driving you crazy. But I didn't point the gun.

I'm telling you, I didn't point the gun, he said. He said to me one day, He's like, get the original Gun's like he's like, he's like, I promise you, Like you can prove idn't point the gun. So I left there and I was like, oh, I'm like, we got we gotta go back and interview all the original cops. The first cop that got interviewed. So yeah, I was one of the two wresting officers. He ever pointed the gun. He was just trying to get rid of it and run away. I'm like, can we get an aff of

David there? Like, yeah, we're joining an after David up right now. Then we find out said the whole unit was dirty, the arresting officers. This guy Reggie Graham was so dirty he was listed as a cop too dirty to testify. And that was like a secret document that tell us the entire time was going through all these

these issues. Now it takes us another three months to get him out, all right, We got more with The co owner of the seventy six is Michael Rubin in the buildings, So don't move as the breakfast club morning this morning, everybody is dj Envy Angela Yee, Chelomagne the guy we are the breakfast club. We have co owner of the seventy sixes Michael Ruben into building. Charlomagne, how did it change the way you've used systemic racism in

America completely? I was oblivious. I had no clue. And it wasn't because I didn't care, like I have so many I've got the most divers friends of anyone on the planet. But it's just like I just didn't see it, like I like I was in my own world. Until it affects somebody really closely, you probably don't have any idea. You didn't even realize that he couldn't travel out of state. None of it made sense, But it didn't hit me until being in that courtroom that day. You know why

you're rare. How did you get him out though, because you never told how he finally got out. Well it was a combination, Well, it was a combination of it was proven that she's a banned and dirty judge. It was proven that he didn't do it he was originally charged of. Then, because we're doing all this work, the Philadelphia Inquired give them credit, they discovered their original wrestling officer was on a list it was too dirty and testified.

So now you're like, you're one off of David saying he didn't commit the crime from the other origin, the other wresting officer. And now meek meekes a wresting officer is on a list that's been out for like ten years. You should have been out the same thing. Here's the craziest thing about this charges should have been dropped. Here's the craziest thing of all. He's still on probation. It's still not over. This guy's got five years left of probation.

That's the thing that literally it makes my head like it makes yeah, I got I got a lot of questions, like it's a lot of injustices that happened in this country, like that could have shown you systemic racism exists. Why Meek's case in particular, because I'm sure that you would see that from black men and get killed at the hands of the poles Because it wasn't let me, it's

it's completely different. It's one of your closest friends. If you told me right now that your friend was sick and need to do something, I send a check, because that's what I've always did. I've been a check sender. Well, but I got you. I got you. But all kids side like when when when someone comes to me the problem, it's generally like you send a check to help. When you watch one of your closest friends get royally over and you know he can't do anything about it, you

have no choice. What did you used to think when you would hear about those cases on the news where unarmed black man was killed at the hands of the police, Like what did you what did you think or did you think about it? I didn't think about it, that's true, that's the understands. I didn't think about it. It It wasn't I didn't think right, It's just like I'm in my own world. Man, I'm building a multi billion dollar business,

like I'm involved with the six ers. I've got a daughter who you know needs me less and less in her mind these days it needs me, so you know, like I'm focusing on my own world. She's like, you got blinders out. I respect you, though. It's not the person that doesn't know who the problem. It's the person who knows but doesn't care. So it's like, now that you know, you're using your privilege to combat a lot

of these prejudices you're seeing. Yep, if you just joined us, we're talking with Michael Rubin, co owner of the seventy six is continue Charlomagne? What kind of pushback do you get because of your allegiance with me but also going so hard because prison reform is big business, so a lot of people might think you're trying to list with their money. In the beginning, everyone was against what we were, Like I so many people call me in the beginning

to say, like, don't get involved with this. It's gonna be bad for your reputation. Like I don't care, right, And what's bad about your reputation about fighting an unjust system. I think people set up on people. I'm just saying I think you're people. Yeah, but you're stepping on people's money. Probably. Prison is a big business, and you're one of those big business guys. It's got to be called behind the thing's like, Mike, come on, I didn't get those calls, okay.

The cause that I did get was the people who believed the media that you talked about is this not a good guy? But I knew him so well. I knew he was a guy to back where Kevin Hard story. He said, you had a great Kevin Horn story. Well, Kevin Hart. So so he comes to so we were six ers from the playoffs. It's closed out night, We're playing in the Miami Heats Game five, Kevin is in Philly. Kevin says, hey, I want to go see me, and

like they spent a couple of hours together. So we're finishing up and Max says, I'm never getting out of this place. I said, you know, bro, maybe out to night. It's like Michael stop saying that I'm never getting out of here. I said, Bro, maybe you're gonna be at our game tonight. He says that is never happening. So now it's two o'clock. We leave, I go back to my office. It's now four o'clock. People come running in

my office. The Supreme Court just ordered his release. I can't even get touch with him because it's not like I can call him, right, And so I called Kevin Kevin Kens like it was all bad, it was all about. But anyway, we go and what's become a legendary story. Now I was just going to drive and go pick him up. And he'd always said to me, like, I keep having this dream you land in the helicopter and you pick me up in prison. And as guy's like, you got to pick him up in the helly, you

gotta pick up for the helly. Literally ten minutes later with the prison and sure enough we pick him up.

We fly to the game. He goes in. He's literally as everyone knows, I mean, this guy's in his prison clothes, running down into you know, through the tunnel, into the locker room, high five and everyone someone comes and shaves him, brings up some clothes, and then we win, win the game, and we're onto the next the Cavs stories and being in prison when Miek is saying, I'm never getting out of keV is like to have a good attitude the whole thing as part of the the whole conversation. Now, before

you leave, you gotta tell us about reform. What initiatives is reform A lines launching or planning to launch? Yeah, so so reform. You know, obviously the idea came from everything that we've talked about today and certainly beyond overneeded. We're going to focus one hundred percent on probation and prole And the reason is there's six seven million people in the criminal justice system today. Four and a half

million are on probation for all. Okay, so it's two thirds of the system, but it's the part of the system that people really haven't focused on, and if you think about it, it's what stalked Meek's entire life. And so we want to really fix the probation and proll

laws and rules. So we're gonna go state by state and work to get laws that makes sense and look, like jay Z said at our press conference last week, and like I've said one hundred times and Meek said, there are a lot of people that belong in prison. You know, you need the crime and the time to kind of fit each other and to me, I think of the four and a half million people in probation proll, I think you could cut that number in half and

have communities equally saved. We want to get a million people out of the criminal justice system in the next five years. So I went out. We raised fifty million bucks to start. That's probably as big as a commitment as you could ever have. I said, hey, I'm writing a big check into this. Then I then, you know, Meek agreed right away. Then our next cause to jay Z and Robert at the same same moment we started

talking about this, they said, yeah, we're in. So now you're starting with jay Z, Robert Craft, Meek Mill, and Michael Rubens. So now we said, okay, who the other people that can really help us? And you know, we ended up with incredible parties with Robert Smith, he's the richest African American person in the world. Clara si who just bought the Brooklyn Nets. We have Dan Loeb, wo's one of the most successful hedge fund managers in the world. Mike no regrets to Mike and Dan. What makes them

really special. They've spent a lot of energy on criminal justice reforms. So we want to get their expertise into this. So we've got fifty million dollars. We hired Van Jones or CEO. He's dedicated his life to these issues, and

we couldn't be any more committed. I would love to I mean, you probably can't answer this question because you're not Robert Craft, but I would love to know how Robert Kraft is pro Trump when a lot of the policies Jeff Session is implemented are directly fighting against what y'all a fighting for. Yeah, So here here's what I can say to you. I may not always agree with Robert. Robert may not always agree with me. He and Trump

may not always grand stuff. But what I can tell you this is for this issue, for rewarm reform, it's a bipartisan issue. I gotta say something Trump, and I'm not a Trump guy at all, but Trump was a huge advocate to help to get the First Step Act done, which has been the biggest step forward in criminal justice, you know, or I'm history, you know, kind of in our generation. So I gotta tell you something. I think Trump actually cares about this issue. How can regular people

get involved all of us? The first thing is to educate people like The biggest thing is there's so many people that were like me and totally no number six happened. I had no clue to this issue. I was completely clueless, and so I think being on your show talking about this today is the biggest thing. We got to tell the story about how many people are unfairly caught in the criminal justice system, and you can always use this outlet. Well,

you know, I'm excited to be here. I I didn't know a lot about the show before Meek tells me how much he loves that. I saw you had Kevin on recently. But I gotta tell you something. The biggest thing we need to do is spread the word. We gotta educate people that is the number one thing we gotta do about now about my sick cousin. Anyway, we appreciate you. Let you know we have this outlet anytime you need it. So we're here for you and we're

here to help people as well. So we're gonna come back and talk about those laws we need to get a change, because that's one of the biggest things we need to do, because it's gonna be state by state, law by law, convincing people to help us in the seventy six is good luck this season. My Nick Sintle be here, so good luck to your seventy Thank you be there you go. It's and that's bad all right. Well, it's Michael Rubin. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, morning everybody.

We'd like to have a word with him. I thought you want to give it to Tory Lanes for that. Can we ask people if they've got a suck feet? Two socks? Is that a thing? I don't never eat somebody's those socks are walking around the floors gross because if you eat ass, you did say you eat that? You eat that?

A right? God? Donkey to day's up next? Come on asses and on the floor. But it's so dirty. But you never scrub the ground. What goodbye. I mean I was born to donkey. It's the Donkey of the death. Don't get a Day's Devil breakfast club, Yes, don't get to day for Wednesday, January thirty. If goes to a nineteen year old man and something to South Carolina name of Manuel Franklin dropping a clues BOMs from my home state,

South Carolina. Eight h three eight six four eight for three All day now, South Carolina, I need y'all to simmer down. All right, this is the second donkey today South Carolina has gotten in the last four or five days. We're getting a little floorterish. Okay, now everybody relax, all right. Emmanuel is nineteen years old, and we have to understand that in this era, scamming is at an all time high. Everybody's scamming and stealing, and you can't trust nobody. It's disgusting.

Everybody got to go fund in my account. Everybody got a life threat, an emergency. Everybody trying to get you to donate to their cash at because it's somebody's sick that they know, are they sick? Like? You really don't know who to trust out here, not your friends, not your family, not the lady you buy Starbucks from every morning. It's nasty in these creeks, all for the love of

the dollar. And Emmanuel is one of those scammers. Okay, Emmanual needed money so bad that he decided the scam the one person who would probably be there for him no matter what. Who's that? Who is that in your life? Your mother exactly? Your mom, your mother, your old earth, the vagina from which you came. Let's go to the w lt X nineteen CBS for the report. Police deputies have arrested this man because they say he blackmailed his own mother. He is nineteen year old Emmanuel Franklin. Now.

Deputies say on January twenty second, Franklin calls his mother to believe that he would be killed by kidnappers if she did not pay one hundred and thirty dollars by putting money inside of mailbox. Franklin reportedly later told officers that he made up this story to get one hundred and thirty dollars from his mom. He is currently being

charged with blackmail one hundred and thirty dollars. When I was nineteen, I could think of so many different things that I could have done it get one hundred and thirty dollars number one, get a job. Okay, I've worked at tempt services, Taco bell I did tell the marketing. I worked at warehouses, flower gardens. I knew how to make a little change. Okay. I've collected cans to take them to recycling bins. I've cut grass, and when all else fails, you can always sell crack on a little weed.

I'm not in charging that. I'm simply saying it's a lot of ways to make money that don't include stealing or scamming from your own mother. Okay, Emanuel, this is crackhead behavior. I don't know if you smoke crack, would do any kind of narcotic, but this is definitely the behavior of someone who likes to smoke fried cocaine. You know, that's all crackheads fried cocaine. Black people love to fry things, and that's how crack was invented. But that has nothing

to do with this story. Your mother is more than likely the one person who loves you unconditionally on this planet. No matter what you're going through as a man, your mother will always be there for you. You can be a stone cold killer and jail for shooting up a church, and your mother will still pray for you, all right, Still answer your calls from prison, Still come see your lame ass, because that's just how a mother loves her child. A mother's love for her child is like nothing else

in this world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. That's aging for Christie, by the way, you dropping the clues bombs for backing for Christie, and for you to pray on that love, for you to prey on your mother's love. And man, you're scressing your mama out, raising her blood pressure, pretending to be kidnapped and help from ransom for one hundred and thirty dollars.

I guarantee you if you would have simply asked your mom for that money and had a legit reason for it, she would have given it to you, even if she didn't really have it to give. And you know your mama, don't God that she's probably getting snap benefits every month to feed your little ass, And now you're scamming her out of a one hundred and thirty dollars money that goes towards shelter to keep your little grown ass warm,

because you are a little grown ass, because you're nineteen. Now, you're in Ja, charged with blackmail, and if you needed one hundred and thirty dollars for whatever reason, then I know you don't have no money for bail. I know you don't have no money for a lawyer. So you're just gonna be in there, stuck property of South Carolina,

crying your ass off every night. And the only person who's gonna answer your phone calls and be there to pray for you and encourage you to be strong in spite of it's the same woman that you tried to scam and steal from. My brothers. Always love your mother because you will never get another. A man. You're Franklin, Franklin. You're only nineteen, so you can still bounce back from this. But in the meantime, give a man your Franklin, the

sweet Shunds and the hammertones. Please. Oh no, you are do gee, oh the day, do gee oh the day. Ye all right, thank you for that donkey today, Charlotte Maker. Now we gotta stop getting scammed by people. I actually tweeted somebody's go fund me yesterday thinking it was real and then I went and looked at their page because I felt bad. The whole family was homeless, and for the past two years, all they've been doing their whole page is them asking for money for a go fund me,

like two years from their own account. But I was like, you seen it retweeted yeah, and then I unretweeted it. So they got smartphones, but they can pay the smart phone bill every month, yes, yeah, but it was like for the past two years, the whole timeline with them

adding celebrities like please contribute to this gofund me please. Well, I was like, having your smartphone, maybe you got your little flip phone, and then you started taking that money for your smartphone bill every month and putting it into a little pot, just saying after two years, you have a nice little something to do something with. Well, the gofund me has zero dollars contributed. They looked zero dollars

for two years to get this fund. Be honest with you, I need a little information about this one, A little bit more information. They added you too, because I looked to see everybody they all they did was hit up celebrities. You only want to retweet it, huh. I fe bad? Oh my goodness. I take a picture of the whole family, you retweet between and putting no money, and they go fund. I went to go look at it and then I

was like, let me look at this account. And then I said, okay, they've been doing this for two years. It's adding celebrities. They have nothing else on the timeline. But that mmmm all right, Well thank you for that. Donkey to day up. Next ask Yee eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

I think he's getting thanging. I keep trying to talk to him about it, for hes like he's just like distancing himself from me. I just don't really know how to approach the situation. I

don't know. I have a little brother that ended up on a shirt right I think, Um, what you need to do is have you gone out there to see him, to see what's going on. I haven't gone out there to see him. My dad lives out there, but he got remarried, he got an invite and like basically just kind of left him to fend for himself. He was living in his heart at one point, like didn't have nowhere to live. And maybe you need to fly your brother in to see you. I tried to ask him

if he wants to do that. He just keeps saying, like, no, I got just producing thing I'm doing off here. I'm not gang banging, I'm not throwing up gang signs, nothing like that, and like he gets mad at me, and I just I really just don't up my little brother to end up on a T shirt. My husband just had a very heart little brother last year because he was doing the same thing I know. And it's so hard because you can't control what he's doing when he's

not there. I think, no matter what, you got to figure out because I couldn't imagine when my brother, you know, I'd be concerned about him too. I think what you need to do is fly him in, get him to come see you. For whatever reason you have to make up to get him to do that, so he can spend some time there with you and let him know how much you care and lay him know that he could talk to you about anything, and that you're not going to judge him, and that you're his sister, you

care about him, you love him. I'm not judging you about whatever it is that you're doing. I just want to talk to you. I want us to have these open, honest conversations.

If you need relationship advice, call ye right now. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club were in the middle of ask ye, Hello, who's this LJ. What's your question for ye? All right? I don't need like if I just kind of I just helped me leading towards a decision or not. The whole situation is I met my girlfriend like summer twenty seventeen, and we were together for like five or six months before I figured out or she told me the hold entire situation with her children

were staying, you know, with her parents. So she moved up her children back in with her and I had come over a while a little bit, and she broke down situation to me because I know she works out of state, like the way where I live and where we met. She doesn't work here, but she has a house here, so she had her kids come stay and asked me if I could, you know, be with her children and watch her children while she's in and out of time. Wow, and that's been going on for like

eight to nine months now. Now how do you feel about that? I mean, how many kids is it? It's three? Three kids? Do you see yourself marrying this woman? We're never getting married. I was trying to get married a couple of years ago. We didn't work out. I told myself I'm never getting married again. And she didn't agree. She doesn't want to get married. She the one I have deep feelings for her, and you know, we have us to have this relationship and over her kids is

pretty everything's pretty good. I love her, I really do. It's just I don't know, because you know, I'm getting slack from my family too, because I took like, I only have a semester left before I graduate, and I took this whole like, I haven't been back to school and two semesters because I'm busy with work and watching her kids. Whoa my family like really giving me a lot of slight behind that they say I'm getting things down with family anymore. And I was really family oriented.

So it's didn't kind of wed on me pretty heavy lately, Okay, And how do you feel about it? Because if you had no problem with it, we wouldn't be having this discussion. But clearly it is something that's been weighing on you because I don't understand why you're the only person that can watch her kids for her. She does have family.

That's a big responsibility to put on. Her family lived a little other states, and she went through this whole thing with like her family is trying to take her kids from her because they felt like she wasn't providing them because she works so much. Yeah, and that's a lot, because clearly they're kind of right, she does work a lot. Now this responsibility has fallen on you, which is a huge one, and it does seem a little selfish and unfair to you. So, yeah, and she's kind of the kids. Yeah,

they want to be with their mom. Relationship with those kids, and if I leave, I don't really know how that's going to affect them, right, And at some point she's going to have to figure out how to change her life so that she could be more in her kid's life. What is she doing to make those moves? You know, as a doot, we go through college and stuff and we start chasing our career and that's basically what she's on right now. She's like changing her career, which is

a good career. I can't like, right, don't for that. It's like if she wasn't making no money or nothing like that, it'd be different. But it's like, well, you know, kids are a priority. Doesn't make you feel differently like she's because listen, I understand chasing your career, but when you have kids, sometimes your priorities have to shift. I

mean they definitely do. She might have to do something where she either moves or she's going to have to figure out how she can simultaneously do both and make sure that her kids are well cared for. But I don't think that whole responsibility should fall on you, all right. Yeah, And it's been like it hasn't been discussed, but you

need to discuss it. It's been brought up, and I just feel like if it all boiled down to it, I just see myself just leaving the whole situation and carry I just want to say this, I don't want you to make sacrifices in your life and your career for somebody you don't even know you're gonna end up with.

Like you said, you're about to graduate from school. There's things you want to do, and you're actually you're actually making more of a sacrifice than she is because you're not doing what you want to do so you can watch her kids. So you might have to let her know, Look, I'm not available at this time, this time, and this time, you're gonna have to let me know. How are you going to work this out so that you can be

there for your own kids? Stop saying yes every time, and you guys have to have a serious discussion and see if there's somewhere that she can rectify the situation and if this is nothing that can be done, if you don't want to make that sacrifice, you know, I think those are huge decisions that you have to make. But at least let her know. You can't just be angry about it and not tell her. All right, true,

I understand. I just think the worst case scenario situation is her like lous her job or having to move back, you know, home with her parents or something like that. I mean, maybe she needs to move closer to her job. That I wouldn't want her children to have to go through that because she moved she changed the location like every three or four months. Yeah, I mean, look, when you have kids, you got to adapt your life to your kids. Period. Where's the dad? I don't know what

she told me his name. One time he denied her youngest too. He said something like the oldest just only the oldest is hers. But they were married for five years, so I feel like he's just an at period. Right. Well, look, it sounds like a messy situation. I just don't want you to look back later and be like, damn, I took care of this woman's kids. I didn't even take care of my own life. Yeah, all right, Well you're a good man, so you know, follow your heart if

this is the love of your life. You guys got to work it out. Okay, all right, yes, thank you. He's like the nanny and a man.

Le's get to this morning. Everybody is dj

envy angela yee. Show him and the guy we are the breakfast club that shout to Michael Rubin, the co owner of the seventy six, is for joining us billion there too. Yes, it's Luthan Mike Rubin man, good dude. Um. I thought it'd be very interesting story. I thought that you know him admitting that he had no idea what

was going on amongst other communities. It is a very honest answer because you know, like dough Boys saiding boys in the hood, they don't know, don't show it, don't give a damn about what's going on in the hood. But it's a it's about once you do know what are you going to do? Absolutely? I mean I think we all victims to that there's a lot of stuff

that goes on in other communities that we don't know about. Yes, And like when Vic Mensa came up and talked about what you know, the things that he seemed when he was overseas, we just honestly didn't know. Yeah, are just the love of Mannaise. We don't know why people love Manaids said what, we don't know why a white people love Manonnaids. You know what I'm saying, But they do.

You know, everything's about buttholes and mannais you everything. But I understand that now not really caring as much about things as we should until it affects you personally, like

knowing somebody who has multiple sclerosis. It wasn't something that I even was aware of as much until one of my friends was really struggling from it and we went out to eat and it took her like literally twenty minutes to walk from the car into the restaurant, and I was like, Wow, this is something I really want to get involved in, just because you see it affects somebody that you care about directly. That's true. All right when we come back. We got your positive note. Don't move.

It's a breakfast envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the breakfast club now, Charlotaite. Yes. My positive note of today is coming from this great book that I'm reading right now called Digital Minimalism Choosing a Focused Life

in a Noisy World by cow Newport.
