All right, Okay, all right, brother different daddies. Hello, who's this? This is an Elitia Jacksonville. Already listen y'all. A question for y'all, and I just want to hear your opinion about this. It's amazing how white people could call black

people the heir words. It's not a big deal. Black people could call white people crocker, ass crocker, it's not a big deal. But when somebody speak their opinion about the lgd T community, it's a big upro And that's just somethingbody speaking their opinion about that. I'm just trying to see what's the big uprow If everybody held their opinion, let him speak their opinion. If that's what they want to do, let them do that. They should embrace that's

what they are, and it's cool. It shouldn't be a big dramatic art rock And I just want to hear your opinion about that from both of y'all. Well, what white people say the N word, It is an uproar, definitely, Yeah, it is an uproar. Not really, it is definitely have gotten side and that LG it's not the WRO like the LTP community. What the hell is the LTB that that that cable package you just talked about, it is way worse than the basic one. Now, the basic one,

it's LGBT. I don't know what why you just go, oh, well, well, I don't know the alphabets, man, But I don't want to hear y'all opinion about that. I want to like when boost is saying this car man, it was a big off law when whoever saying it thing What really got me when Wendy Williams had apologize for what she said. It's like, come on, man, you can't have an opinion about that. Well, listen, here's the truth to the matter. You got to know who you're FFing with. You know

what I'm saying. You slap somebody in the face, they might slap you back and slap somebody else in the face. They might punch you and knock you out. You slap somebody else in the face, they might pull out a gun to shoot you. You gotta know what you're dealing with that and be ready to deal with them. Yeah. I just don't get the man. Everybody should have their own opinion. It shouldn't be a big a big deal about it. If that's what they choose to do, that

that's on them. Let them in porson and move on. So listen, why are you calling? Why is this the first thing on your mind in the morning. Though, No, it's no, I just can't know. Yes it is, Yes it is, Yes it is a good one. But why does it matter how other people live their lives anyway? If it doesn't affect you, if you're not part of the LGBTQ plus community, and like, why does it bother you? Hello? Who's this? What's up? Bro? Get it off your chests? Yeah? What I had to get out of my chest? Man.

I feel like a lot of people like seeing back waiting for the government to do things instead of realize what we can do ourselves. Like I ain't had nothing a couple of years ago for bout the pandemic doing it and then it won't really an issue with me. You know. I started driving trust for a company, bought the trust off of Facebook up owner operator. I'm here fourteen dollars in a week. It's so much stuff people can do out here, you know better theyself because I'm

trying to break a generation or curse. Well, families are growing up in apartments in our own and homes because it's phone broke up. But I agree with him, you know what I mean. I mean, we definitely should push our government and push our you know, national and local government to do things for us, but we definitely got to do for ourselves too. Word to the honorable or Loijah Muhammad, what he said. What he said is also right.

I know a lot of people want to be rappers, they want to be uh DJs, they want to be producers, they want to be athletes, they want to get only fans. There's a lot of other businesses that people can do, and driving trucks is a major business. They make a lot of money, so really really look into it, because you think about it, one thing that didn't stop on that road was those trucks, whether they were delivering food, whether they were delivering toilet paper and paper towels. Those

roads stay full with those trucks. So people still had those jobs with them truck. Yeah, And that's why I always tell brothers, man, you go out there and learn a trade, you know what I mean, Because there's certain things that just never ever ever gonna stop. You're gonna always need an electrician, You're gonna always need a plumber, you know what I mean. And those people, those brothers make good money. Since this make good money. Absolutely, Hello,

Three yeah, all day, but I still got my nine one seven numb heard so I'm a nuper driver. So I was on Folly Beach and my phone plays music automatically, like I played a playlist, so there's no commercials. I like the niggas so comfortable, no no offense, but for Caucasian people got into my car and I had

to take them twenty eight minutes away. It was cool, we were driving, wanted them, played track music, then played fall Out Boys. I'm played. I had to arrange the music. Lady Guy Guy, And as soon as Beyonce Brown Skinned Girl came one the lady in the back, I heard the whispering among themselves, like Who's gonna say it? Finally somebody was braving up to come up and say it. It was excuse me, could you turn that song off it's offending me. And I was like, what that song

offending you? And she said, well, it's all about like black girls. I'm not black. I don't relate to that. I was like, so something that bratty might again is offending you. So what did I do? I thought of the whole playlist off that dog. She got all the black power music for all twenty music. No, wait a minute, everybody stepped back from this situation, didn't look at it objectively.

Oh boy, you're an uber driver. Correct, And when you're an uber driver, you're playing music because you want people to feel comfortable. Correct, they don't feel comfortable about the song, you don't gotta get offended. Bite she can't relate. She's a man's flavoring mammal. Yeah, but it's not that type of song. It's it's not like saying, you know, f white people. That's not that's just upset that she don't have that tan. That's all. Well, she goes, I'm just

mad that all this trap music played. We don't hurt drug deal of music. We don't her wip, we don't hurt everything. You didn't get offended about nothing because she's no drug dealers she knows drug dealers, and she uses drugs. She might have she got, she might might mean white as her Okay, oh my goodness, she just can't relate. Girl, she's kind of rating. What kind of rating did you give her? Oh? No, I listen. I gave her the

same rating I usually give everybody else. Because she didn't rat me no less because she gets but after she said it, because mine, if you heard the music that I was playing around, I was playing corns, fall out boy, I was playing all this other stuff in rotation. If anybody know what that music is, even know that it was diverse and get off. And I think you missed a good opportunity to teach to though, because you could have just told her like, look, this is an old

to to to melan it all right, well, hello, who's this? Hey? How's it going for? Then? Though? Good morning? Yes, sir, I was going I got a quick question for Charlotte man Man. Yes, sir, I asked you a question. I don't know if somebody ever asked you this, but who was your top three donkeys of all time? And what you're considered consider giving donkey a donkey Hall of Fame? Oh yeah, I mean at the end of the year,

we do a top five Donkeys of the year. I don't I'm gonna be honest with you, top donkeys of all time. Donald Trump is definitely in the top three. I mean I've given it to him more than anybody. And um, I'm gonna always put myself in the top three because I always say, you know, when you give people the credit, you gotta give everybody to credit they deserve for being stupid, including yourself. I don't know who the third one would be. There sounds first y'all want

to clue Braun from the Breakfast Club. All right, we'll go on, get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent, hit us up. Now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club winning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now. You have some special guests joining us this morning, and I'm not going to tell your names up. Don't even try

let them introduce themselves, please please. My name is Malati Bhana Mescoll from Denver, Colorado, UM and originally from t Gray in Ethiopia. What's up? Everyone. My name's on dam get Vic Jorgets from money Earning Mount Vernon, New York. My family comes from Erica. And you know I got I got a call from my man Alex down in Atlanta, AG and you know, he was really concerned about this civil war that's happening in his homeland of v Fiopius.

So can you can you tell us more about that? Yeah? Absolutely? What's happening in a nutshell is we are in on day two hundred and two of a genocide into Gray, the northernmost region of Ethiopia. There is the humanitarian crisis. There is something that everyone should be worried about. I mean, the women are being gang raped by soldiers. There is more than five million people are at risk for starvation. I mean there's a crisis on a level that is not getting the attention that it should be. Why do

you think it's nuggeting attention? Is it should because this is you know earlier today was really the first time I dove into it other than here in the weekend

in people donating so much money, Yeah, for sure. I mean I think when it comes to issues on the African content, a lot of times it really gets pushed to the side when I see what's been happening honestly over the last couple of decades, just in Africa in general, if it doesn't conform to what we think here in the West in terms of like typical conflicts like black versus white, so apartheid South Africa. If you're thinking in Libya, maybe you had heard of that there was like slave

camps happening. We can understand that and connected that when we're thinking about the history of slavery within the African gasper. But a lot of times when it comes to um conflicts where you know you're looking at it and it's black people and black people, again, there are different ethnic groups that are involved. And again i'm Eric Trein Alex actually Erictran as well. His wife is from from tigray Um. There are different forces involved at play here. It can

be complicated. But also the Western media just doesn't really pay attention when and give it the attention that it deserves when it's a serious situation. Well, and don't forget, there was a complete communication blackout. So what this Prime Minister of Ethiopia is doing, he's doing it in the dark, so people don't know. Wow, so the information is just now getting out. So y'all, have y'all even gotten in

touch with your families briefly? There's some parts of the city where they turn the phones on for a short amount of time and then they're off again. But the majority of my family's from the countryside. So the people in the city, I mean, I personally have lost five family members in seven months. Wow, right, I mean it's horrific.

And I you know, on the Aeratran context, we have a country that is really just a really repressive government, a government where when we're speaking on those phone calls, through viber connections, whatever it is, you know, people can't even tell their honest feelings about what's going on because they're fearful that there's going to be repression or reprisals

against them. And obviously, again the context is different on the Airy transide from what's going on in to grab because aera trans they are conscripted soldiers being forced into to Gri and there have been a lot of abuses. But again you can't even really get full information through some of those channels because again people can't speak openly. So breakdown, why why is it so much turmoil? And so much fighting and so much war and everything that you just say why, Well, the simple answer is it's

a power grab. It's a power grab. So Ethiopia has a decentralized form of government right now, and the current prime minister, who was never elected by the way he was appointed, was supposed to have an election and he's canceled at four times now. So at this point we don't even know when the election it's going to happen. Who's overseeing him. There's nobody overseeing him to say, hey, you can't do that. That's a great question. There's nobody

overseeing him, nobody. He's changed the whole system of politics in Ethiopia, where instead of having these independent bodies that come together, ethnic groups that come together to decide on things, he's changed that. So it's more of a unitarian system. There's one political party now. So it's um, you're right, I mean, who here you would impeach your president? Right? We don't have that option. What would what would it

take to get peace? That's too broad a question. I don't think there will ever be peace with the Sciosopha workI in Eritrea and aviahmad in Ethiopia. I think at this point those people have to go. There's no way to have peace with them in power. Well, yeah, I mean Martin Luther King has a quote, it's pieces not the apence of Ford's the presence of justice. So not only do we have war that's going on now, but for decades in aery Trea there hasn't been justice. I mean,

that's the most painful thing. What Airtrian soldiers are doing to grind women. This war is being played out on the bodies of women and girls period, and they're doing things like putting hot rods up a woman's vagina to burn her internal reproductive organs. And it's not one story. We're hearing this story from many women, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Because we still don't have access to the people. Why why emphasis on sexual violence,

Like what is that to them? That's a good question, that's a good question. I don't know. I think, you know, well, first of all, there are two things. I think. The first thing is that again, many of the forces that are sort of operating in that region are operating lawlessly, you know, like there is no one sort of overseeing what's happening. There aren't the sort of journalists, the journalists or the media availability to able to communicate what's happening

in a rapid fashion. And then at the same time, like you know, there are issues in terms of like identity, like when you're thinking about the sexual violence, like this is deeper than just you know, like murder or something like that. Like you're you're trying to make You're trying to strike fear into the hearts of an entire group of people. And that has been what's really really disturbing about this this conflict. And one thing is clear is

this sexual violence. It's not undisciplined soldiers. This is a directive to go in and attack the women, make sure they can't reproduce. I mean, it's it's a directive from the top, and that's what makes it scary. All Right, we got more when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club were still kicking it within endom Charlomagne as far as

you know as the Biden administration tried to get involved. Yeah, I mean recently over the last couple of days. There have been more statements coming out. They just yesterday there was a visa band that was put out on you know, sort of all sides involved in the conflict, but really they relate to the game. I mean, we're going on now seven months of what's happening. I mean, don't forget Trump was the one who was in office when this started, so Biden hasn't had a full seven months to really

address this, you know what I mean. Trump wasn't going to do anything. He didn't care, he had nothing to gain from it. Trump was transactional. So I would say, you know, Biden's team, they've done a lot in a short amount of time. I mean they've sent a special envoy to the Horn of Africa. They you know, as soon as he came back, when Free Feltman came back, within twenty four hours, you had Senate Resolution ninety seven was passed, the UN passed, you know, the Right to

Protect Act. So I think a lot has happened undervited. I mean it's not fast enough. We're talking about at least one hundred and fifty thousand people have been killed, at least if you multiply, I mean, if you divide that by two hundred and two days. It's like one hundred and seventy five people a day or so, I'm sorry, seven hundred people a day. So it's a lot of people who are dying. So it's not fast enough. It's

just not fast enough. We're all losing our families. But hopefully with the sanctions that have been announced, something's going to change. And listen, the issue of Airtryan soldiers being into Gray. We can't I can't stress that enough. Think about this. We're in New York right now. If the federal government had an issue in New York and invited Canada in to bomb New York, that's outrageous, right, That's unheard of, and you wouldn't even imagine that outside New

York exactly exactly. That's literally what's happening into Gray right now. So and to me, I mean, to Gray is an important place you think about, like from a spiritual perspective, to gray. Christianity argue Lee started in Ethiopia into gray. Islam was saved, muhammad followers were saved into gray. The oldest mosque in Africa is into gray. The oldest known manuscripts Christian manuscripts are into gray. All of those things have been looted, all of those places have been bombed

in this conflict that's not coincidental. Is literally spiritual warfare that's happening. I didn't even say this, but they've locked up the Black Pope, the Pope of Ethiopia, literally the head of the entire church in Ethiopia is on house arrest because he spoke up. He's an ethnic tick grind and he spoke up. And I mean that alone should make you want to act. So again, how can people help if they're a way too besides posting on their Instagram and talking about it, And how would you advise

people to help you are listening now? I think awareness is the big thing. I mean, honestly, people still don't know. So raising the awareness, reaching out to your senators, reaching out to your congress people, you know. Follow There's several organizations that you can follow that have action items and things that you can do to get involved, whether it's signing petitions or donating money. I can mention some of those if you want, but sure, okay, OHM not Tigray

is one of them. Tigray Action Committee is another one HPN for Tigray Health Professionals for Tigray is another one. Stand with Tigray is another one. So there's all these organizations just go to their websites and there's lots of ways that you can interact and get involved. Yeah, and on the Aeratran side, you know, part of what's happening right now is the authoritarian ruler Si Suporki's efforts to

try to consolidate power. And again there's a long standing blood feud between him and the GRIND, the TPLF, the former regional government that's now you know, sort of embroiled in this war. And so from the Erytran side, you know, committing to ensure that aery Trea itself does not have to deal with this authoritarian ruler is something that all

people should be able to stand up for. So, you know, we need more advocacy, We need people saying that, like what's going on in aery Trea is not only just going to stop within aery Treas borders, right, it extends beyond its borders. We see refugees struggling not only into grid throughout the world, and so like if people can take action and pains that are going on on the Erytrean side, like the Free Seaham campaign. This is a

fifteen UM. This is a girl who was imprisoned in Eritreach when she was fifteen years old for fleeing the country. She's actually born in La, She's Erytrean American. She's been in secret prison for the last nine years. UM. And so all of these things human rights abuses that happened internally with an Erytre Again, it doesn't stop at Erytre's borders because again the authoritarian ruler we have so get

involved with one day sume um and check out. You know, many of these different accounts that that are focused on Erytrean human rights abuses UM against we can show solidary and make sure that was happening in the region no longer stands. We'll give me a name one more time, because I don't want to kill your names. Guy Maliti, Verhanna, mescal on them, Gebric Jurgis. It sounds very royal. I

We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, indeed, Swizzy Swiss bon Zone Zone Zone Man Swiss. Is this a h and it is a bittersweet moment, the fact that Exodus album drops to day DMX's last project. It is,

but it's it's a happy moment. It's a happy moment because you know, Dog was headed to do the record. You know, this is not something that we put together, you know, since he's since he's left us. Um he wanted to record out before now wow, you know, but we had clearances and different things like that, and so you know, he was supposed to get into his workout phase. So after we record the album, he was going to you know, work out for two months and get his

body in shape. Like we had a whole plan. But I know that he's happy right now that you know, we have to finish line and this is available for everybody, and that's why we just kept pushing it. You know, although everything is heavy, you know, fresh like I'm hiding behind these glasses, I'm hiding behind this music. But you know, it comes down on me real hard. But we gotta keep you know, we gotta keep it going. What's the album done? Was it fully done before he passed? Yeah? Yeah,

he approved every song. The only thing that was changed on the album was pop smokes verse whatever. Yea. I was gonna ask about that because everybody teased that pop Smoke was on the album. Yeah, he was on the album, but they used the verse and then so you know, that's why I put money back. You're on the track. All the money, money, money or pop was on that yeah. Oh man, yeah, you know. So we was excited for it, but then when we heard that we couldn't use it,

I was just like damn. And then um, money bag. Yeah, I got a good relationship with him, you know, and he turned it around real quick because we I almost had to take the track off the album. Wow, and so like that that saved the track. So shout out the money bag. You know, how are you? I know you said you hiding behind the glasses, but how are you? I'm hurt, bro, I'm hurt. You know what I'm saying.

I'm just I'm just out here giving the energy that X deserve, you know, and and and and doing this, but I haven't really, I haven't really take it all in yet. You know. It's it's a lot because you know, you see certain things and you just can't. I couldn't

hit stop drop. I'm just not able to hit stop dropping. Wow, you know what I'm saying, And um wow, sending to the album on certain songs like it just catch you out of nowhere about excuse myself and go to the bathroom and you know, to shake it off and come back in the room. But um, it's I haven't. I

haven't witnessed. I wasn't expecting it. You say. Is the most autobiographical for him on this album so many, you know, like he gave people so much uncut moments into his life on the record, you know, like letter to my son. It's crazy. I've watched I've done so much this week, you know, with playing people to record, and I watched every time see people leaving the room, I see people going through the thing, and I was like wow, Like he really gave people something to connect to that on

that record, and that was very personal to him. And um, you know, I called his son who he wrote the song about, Xavier to the studio to hear the album first out of respect, you know. I was like, you know, I can't have him hear this album or this record when the when the public has it, you know what I'm saying, no matter what they was going through. Like, so I called him to the studio and I'm really proud of him because he was in such a great move.

He was just like loving the songs, and I was just like, every we're getting close to letter to my son, and I'm like, oh boy, I gotta play him this record and I'm just like preparing for them. When I played the record, like he just started smiling, he started clapping. His energy was real good. And if it took so much weight off my back because he accepted the record. He even accepted the song, and I was like, okay, we're good. Good and then hold me down as another one.

Oh my god, that's the truth if I ever heard it, Like he told you everything and that and then between them two verses he told you his whole life. Well you know what I'm saying. He said, I witnessed those I know, I know all of those things that he's talking about. And I was like, man, he's always been real on his records, but this record, he was like uncut real you know. You know what about Bath Salts. I know him and Jay had a rocky relationship at time,

So how was creating that and how was that? Because they had to have a conversation. How was that couple? They had a competitive you know, x X created this villain of X and his of hoving his mind. But you know, when I would get on him about it because it was so long ago, extra laughing j other, He's like, come on, man, I gotta have one. I gotta have one villain in this thing. You know what

I'm saying. You know, but I know that he respect Jay for him to call him a villain, and you know, it was getting to the point where they was going to really lock in, lock in, you know, in LA, but we didn't get to do that, and so um, you know Jay already Jay approved the song and everything like that, but they didn't really connect all the way like they was about to. And because I speak to both of them, I was speaking to both of them deadly, So I know, I know the temperature, you could tell

what the temperature is, and the temperature was positive. And you know, Jay was like even when he called Jay out for versus. You know, Jay was like, Man, I'm not your villain. I'm not the villain. I'm your brother. I love you. You know what I'm saying that exercyche. He felt that, you know, all X one was the love to be honest this whole time, he just wanted

to love. For people that don't know DMX break down who DMX as a person because they see the outside right, yeah, and they don't see the kund hard and they don't see the the guy that gives his last. They don't see the person that will give an opportunity to I was grateful enough to see that side. So for people that don't know, how would you break down DMX of who he is as a person. He was a humanitarian to the max. You know, his philanthropic work is I

haven't seen it in our business yet. You know, I've been watching this man give his clothes off his back and shoes, give his money away. You know, he would pray, like when I said he he'ld pray for other people before when he needed to pray. As the most he would feed other people before he feed itself, you know, like he was. He was one of the best fathers I've seen. You know, he really really really cared, Like he didn't care about no materialistic things that you can't

There was no way to buy a DMX. There was only a way to love him, you understand. And that's what people didn't really understand. Like the X wasn't even asking for nothing from from people. You know, he just wanted to love from people that he loved. He just wanted it back, And that's what you're had in that song, He's like, it hurts when people that I love don't

want me take it off from me. Didn't think they could judge me, treat me like I'm ugly, But I ain't never been a dummy because I know God loves me. He see what I'm saying, Like I watched him, you know. And even on a letter to my son, he says, I don't know what you thought about my use of drugs would have taught you enough to not use the drugs. And I'm like, and I know that's real because you know X was you know, he was poisoned at fourteen

with this addiction, right, you understand. And I give him super credit and super props for making a name from himself when he could have been off the map because it was hardcore. You know. But I've watched X get so many people offer drugs and not to do drugs. Unbelievable, you know, Like even if we just did a segment on the people he saved from drugs, it's something that we've never seen before. Wow. And that's why I like when I say profit light, because X was walking amongst

the people and never talked about it. You know, he didn't he didn't do no interviews about anything that he did. As far as get it back, you know, all right, we got more with Swiss Beats when we come back. Let's get into a joint. This is letter to my son or Damex's Exodus album that's out right now featuring Usher. It's the Breakfast Club Good Morning. That was lettering to my son and we're still kicking it with Swiss Beats now.

Ye other day in the studio, you were talking about X working with Griselda and how that was in the studio. So can you talk about that energy I produced on the whole album. You know, I just had co producers and things like that, because like you know, the album wasn't about me. You know, the album was like, how can we make a classic timeless peace? You know, so if I needed some other producers to ask some different things that I felt I was missing, Like I just

did it. It's it's it's biggness, It's how can we have the biggest project for Dog? This is his comeback project? And you know it was no ego and playing shout out to all the producers that contribute to the album. Now back to what you just said. With the Gazella, I look up in here in the studio with them, So I'm like what and he called it like yo, him saying them in here with the Gazette, the boys,

Yo what I'm saying. I just like the day they they real you know what I'm saying, Like I just had to come in their space, and I was like, oh, he's working, working, you know what I'm saying. I didn't have to call him like he surprised me with the verse and so it was just so great to see him and his element and his groove. He started feeling the love when when when the artist started coming to the studio, Like when my wife came to the studio, I should came to the studio, snoop, you know, Snoopers.

He's a different level bro like Snoop hospitality that he showed us in that studio because X got motivated after Versus to do the record. You know what I'm saying, He got he got his confidence back because all of the fans was like yo, his record started going back on the charts and younger artists started calling him for verses and things like that, and so that was the energy that we kept to go through the album. So we didn't even leave La. We stayed at Snoop studio

from Versus and finished the album. Wow, I'm saying, Yeah, Snoop cook for us every night like I never seen I've never even seen that in our industry, Like he wouldn't even if he didn't have a studio session. He would come and cook for us, make sure we straight, and go about his business. I was every day. I was like, this is different. He said, XS, like I

need to get some music, new music today. Yeah yeah, X's like, you know, I liked the verses and everything, but I just wish that I had new music to show people today, like where my mind is at where I man. I was like, yo, okay, well let's do it. And that's when I knew he was serious. I knew he was serious when he did Versus. But then I knew he was serious when when when we stayed in LA he was coming to the studio at twelve in the afternoon, because as his producer, I know that's the

time you're gonna get the best vocals. I can't work with eight pm. It's finish, it's done already, his voices. Saw. You know, he talks different. He talks like he wraps right. So by the time it's eight o'clock, like we're gonna have to do the vocals over Anyway, How hard was it for him to do Verses? Did you have to talk him into it or like was that an easy cell for him? No? Man, you know X because X is a battle rapper right like he don't. I had to let him really digest the concept. You know what

I'm saying, I'm gonna do somebody dirty. So I'm telling you what I'm saying, like, I uh, I'm gonna do somebody dirty, dirty, dirty, like, so to be careful who you pick, because I'm gonna do him dirty. I said, whoa, whoa, this is not that Douge celebration sharing of music you know, two people that respect each other. And then I just left him alone. I just left him with that. And then um, he started watching it and really paying attention.

And I think it was the Papular Belt one. It was one of those one of those old school ones that he got it. He was called me, it's like, all right, I see what this is. All right, I'm in, you know, And I was like, what you think about Snoop? He's like perfect, I said, dog with the dog, He's like perfect. Once he was in, he was in. But I knew it was when he got on the plane because exit and in mid sixty plane. You know what I'm saying, he was on time. Might give it to him.

You know you said earlier that that it was kind of a shock. Do you went X pass away? Yeah, we wasn't. We wasn't. We wasn't on that time. You know what I'm saying. X wasn't on that time. And that's why you've seen him gained so much weight. You know, when I was happy when he had to wait on him, because I knew he was healthy. He was really going hard for his son, Exodus, you know, for Shore, like like Exodus helped him a lot, Um, he really loved that boy a lot, Like like I've seen him, he

loved all his kids. I witnessed him loving all his kids. M but Exodus lived with him and you could just see the strength of Exodus being in the studio with him. That gave him strength and and I think that really helped him out a lot. And so there was other times I was worried, you know what I'm saying, Like I've seen excellent in serious situations, But this time we was chilling, like we was like chilling, like he's supposed to go home, go see the family, take a break.

Then we was gonna start start the two month workout playing you know what I'm saying. He was looking forward. He calling me about the workout. I'm like, damn, Like, okay, you want to go to you ready? Huh? He was like, yeah, what I'm saying, I'm tired of Belly. I want you know what I'm saying, We're gonna go dog on him. Then we come, We're gonna we're gonna show me in the gym, show my transition. Then we dropped the album. So it was a whole it was a whole plan,

and he was he was with it. He was gad at him. You know, yeah, I didn't. It caught me way left. You remember where you were at. I was in Saudi Arabia. And what's crazy is before I left, he called me and he was like, he told me he wanted to be with me. You know what I'm saying. I was like, what are you talking about, y'all? I just want you know what I'm saying. I want I want to be where you're at, like you know, like

like let's connect. I just want to be next to your energy and X don't never really call me like that. You know, there's something he would probably tell me in person, but like he picked up the phone like he stepped out of a club or something because I can head in the background, and he personally said that to me, And I was like, Okay, well, um, why don't you call me on this trip? You know what I'm saying. I say it'd be great. You like the desert, it's

a good getaways. I think it's cool for us to just get away and for you to see something different. And he's like, oh, that sounds good. He was like, oh, how long is the flight? Seventeen hours? I want to be next to you that long. Yeah, He's like, I don't want to be next to you that long. I was like, no, I'm saying, you know, it's it's a good vibe. We got the studio, you know, like we time is gonna go go go go fast on the plane, trust me. And he's like, m I'm gonna call you

back on that. And then um, of course I didn't hear from him, so I left like two days later, and then like two days after I got there, he wrote me. Um, he wrote me in text and was just like, man, you know, I just appreciate everything you've done for me, you know, I just I just want to tell you I appreciate everything you've done for me. And I was like, okay, like you being a little weird,

but wrote them back. I said, appreciate you too. Dog for life And I sent him to mister Magic Rapp Attack playlists that I found with all the old school hip hop vibes and that that was our last That was our last text. You know, you know the word exodus, it means the road out. So when you hear that, did that title make you feel like x X new? I think he knew something for sure, because like you know, when I look at like, let's say Kobe. You know, like before Kobe left us, I seen him everywhere. I

couldn't believe I was seeing him everywhere. You know, I'm like, ye oh, he's a puff party. He's here. You've never seen I never personally seen Kobe out like that, Like it was just like he was just out making his rounds. And I've seen that same parallel line with Dog, Like I've seen him voluntarily doing interviews, everybody from Miami calling me, He's showing up, he's at t I's house, He's all over the damn place. I'm just like, Dog, like I said, you can't you out out like this is what, this

is the new you. And he was like he's like you know what I'm saying. I'm just I'm setting up, you know, so when I'm doing the groundworks. When we dropped the album, I did the groundworks, you know, so so so it's not just popping up. And I was like, Okay, I understand that, but it was just weird to me that he was in so many places like you had.

People have so many stories like that that was just with him, like and people have great stories about like just who didn't even know him, just about running into him and how he treated people. And I think that's how anybody should want to be remembered, the way people that didn't even know him can't remember what their experiences were like. Were you able to watch the TV one

uncensored that I watched it. That interview was a little deep because it was an x that I've never seen, you know, like, I've never seen him so laid back and on purpose he was he something was on his mind at that time as well, though you know, well, old movie. We got more with Swiss when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody in stj Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Swiss beats. Did he like

to do interviews because he loved the Breakfast Club? For some reason. He always would come, always would all day too. After that long one day, I left after the interview and I was gone for like I had to go do something in Jersey. I came back. He was still here. He said it for hours. He took the he took the market rope, graffiti all on the wall. We had to have people come clean the wall off. I'm like, who's gonna tell Exton stop? I'm not gonna tell stop.

He was outside eating hot dogs. Man, that's if he if he if he if, it wasn't nothing you could do about it, you know. So he felt the energy up here and he felt protective, felt he could be real with you guys. He liked that type of stuff, even if it's raw, like you know, he don't. He don't like the fake zones. So he felt he felt a real zone with you guys. And every time I see him up here, I was like, man, I just

hope you don't talk about no other artists. I like that though, because he definitely you know, I think when you say something and then you can come back and say, you know what, I shouldn't have said that, that's that's really mature, and that's a good example for other people, because sometimes people want to like double down on things and don't want to admit when they're wrong. I agree with that. He did it with Drake. With Drake, you know, he said he was a good guy, reached out to him,

and I thought that was real. Did you ever reach out? Did you ever you and Drake ever squash things? I know one time you and Drake were going back and forth. No, we haven't. We haven't spoken yet. You know, we haven't spoken. You know, um, you know we haven't spoken. How do you feel when when people try to act like no one gave X's fly I tried to help him when

he was here. I wouldn't say no one, I just when when when I made my speech about that, you know, those who giving him his flowers in his garden, which a lot of fans did, a lot of a lot of people around the world definitely did. For sure. I'm mainly talking about the people that he wanted them from that was close to him. I understand family members, so called friends and things like that, you know, like I

was really around X. I really know the conversations. I really you know, I've been there for the whole thing since seventeen, you know, really since fifteen. I'm at X at fifteen, But the fame started at seventeen with us, and just to see the people come and go, and the inconsistency of love and the endless want of wanting and taking and not being there when he really he

didn't mind giving, you know what I'm saying. But like at least give him the love back and return, and so like I just got a little annoyed, you know, because um it was it was just like, at least, let this day be about him, you know what I'm saying. Like everybody was making it about them. They wasn't like even Kanye, let it be about dog, you know what I'm saying. Like Kanye had a full mask on. You didn't even know where he was at in the building,

he was on stage. You didn't know, Yes, he did the Sunday Service, you know what I'm saying, Like because DMX did Sunday Service. He did it three times him and had had a great relationship. You know, people were like upset about it, but they had that relationship and he supported and was at Sunday Service. X was super proud of Kanye for stepping out and what he believed in. And X wanted to do like a Sunday Service himself. So for him seeing Kanye doing it, he was super

happy for him. And he was like, Yo, anytime you need me to talk, because I remember when I first got the phone called him him doing He called me like, Yo, you know what I'm saying, you and Kanye good. I was like, yeah, what you're saying. He's like, na, because I knew you had a problem with the hat and all the stuff here. I just want to make sure you're good. I said, no, we goold. You know he Kanye is, you know, he's his own man. I'm not I'm not going to really judge him off of things

like that, you know what I'm saying. Problem with the Oh yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. But when I told him that me and Kanye was good, he was so excited, like thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus. And I was like, wow, like what's up. He's like nah, he wanted me to. He want me to, you know, talk at the service, And I was like wow, But that's how X was, Like he almost asked for my

permission to do so. He's always been lawyer, Like you've never seen X with another label, Like even when he started bloodline right as he had a rough out of all. You know what I'm saying, Like like X was just he was just a different He's I haven't he's different. We've seen how spiritual he was, but where did that come from? Like did you ever see X, you know reading the Bible? Like with like he was just so spiritual,

and it didn't matter where it was. It could have been a Popeyes, it could have been at a club, it could have been in a restaurant before shows, like where we where would you get that from? You know? For me, it wasn't like a new thing. It always knew him for that, right, So it wasn't like strange. It wasn't like something happened and he became holier than

thow Right. He was always like that, like we can be going through like some crazy stuff, but we have a prayer happening before some wild stuff is jumping off. I'm like, you're praying right now. Always pray before he had food. He just was always that, you know what I'm saying. I only knew him for that, and and he started he shared that with the world from since day one. You know, praying in front of fifty thousand people on the stage. I couldn't believe he was doing.

I was like, you're about to pray in front of the crowd, it's a show down. He's like, nah, they need it. And when I started seeing thugs and gang bangers crying in the crowd or he's onto something different, he just annointed. He always always meant like I always said that you see X, you see God. That's a fact. That's it thinks Marvin Gay sample on the album, How hard was that to clear? Or they cleaned us up for that one. It gave us a nice shape up

with that one. But you know, sometimes you got to let the artistreet flow, his estate deserve it, you know. And we chose to use the record. So that's if they're a lot more ex music or he didn't record as much as we got a lot of music. He had a lot more. They got a lot of music. This question has been coming up, like everybody I've been saying like this is going to be another, this, another that.

For me, it's like, um, he worked so hard on this record, Like I don't really want to tamper with things unless it can be better than this record got. You see what I'm saying, Like, I don't want to just put things out. And even with the footage that we had, we recorded the whole process of the album, and it's like we could have been putting that footage out right now leading up to the album. But I'm like,

let's do something masterful with it. Let's let's treat it as art and curated to it that it adds to his legacy and it's not just a blip of a moment that seems like it works, but you still don't really understand the whole story. Like he deserved for the whole body to be cure his story, you know, especially even like working on this album, in the footage, it should be like it should feel like something real, you know,

and so um that's the goal. You know, a lot of people got footage on Dog and it's like, Yo, everybody out there that got the footage on it, just cure rate man, you know what I'm saying. Just just think about the legacy and not just put something out just to say you have it. You know. You know this this X album, Man Exodus is very special and I think it's just my opinion that musically it's the best DMX album ever. You wouldn't know better than anybody.

What do you think? I agree with you? Because you know, the thing that I love about the album is X embraced his age, you know what I'm saying, Like he was cool with being fifty ye, And when I look back at a lot of the artists, the legends when they come back, they try to like jump in the game that's happening now you have no experience in that game, and it actually ages you more when you do that,

you know what I'm saying. So when I seen X starting to understand, like, Yo, you just gotta be you, and then I can curate around that and we could bring the energy to you as as needed. But we don't have to compromise that. I can't, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not gonna put you on a track beat just to talking about streams and spins and stuff like that. Let's just do what we do, you

know what I'm saying. And the people that love it and I want to hear something different, they're gonna they're gonna rock with it. But we gotta be who we are, right. That's a little baby And Derek pushed their album back just to show respect for X's album coming out. See I respect that, you know what I'm saying, Like I was handing about it, but like I didn't. I'm not expecting people to do certain things, you know what I'm saying.

Because everybody got you know, they got their life that they gotta they gotta plans for and things like that. But you know, shout out to those brothers for doing something like that, and I like it because it's a great representation of the youth. You know, that's a real stand up move and x x X definitely appreciate that, and I appreciate that well move. We got more with Swiss when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning be Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the

Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Swiss beats. Let's switch your lens. What's what's next for verses? For you? Sunday and Soldier Boy happening. First, let's start with Sunday, right, because this is a rematch, So what are the rules for a rematch? Shoot? You know, this is our first time actually being on our platform. We have to follow the rules. Now. When we started, we went for five hours.

But this is live in the club though, right, Yeah, say, I'm coming, I gotta I gotta pool party in the afternoon, so I'll be there that night. Let's go. Oh, so it's gonna be the party like that, Yes, Wow, Sunday night. This is gonna be live audience first time, so probably a lot of guests Memorial weekend. Oh okay, okay, makes sense. You know whoever did we now see this is gonna be a tough one. See, because you gotta make yourself a meant so many club records. That mean because you're

in the clubs. So it's not like people are watching. They could just bop their head like but tim do too. It's gonna be a good one. It's a good one. It's a good one. What's your story? Already? Know you're bringing out all the special guests too. I know you got some special guests. I'm definitely coming. They don't tell you something I haven't had time to even focus on that. I've been in this. You have a schedule. This is a crazy weekend. To tell you something. I haven't moved

like this in years. I was, my son is with me, and I'm like, see this the stuff they don't tell you about you see this work right, get ready for this. All that other stuff, your videos and all that stuff was cool, But this right here, forty sixty zooms a day, I'm zoomed out. I remember my speech entirely. You know what I'm saying from saying it, so damn, It's like, Yo, this is crazy. But you know ex deserved. I gotta do it. I don't care no sleep. I was bagging

up under these glass, says, I gotta do it. You know what I'm saying. Because x X never really did promo like that, right, So all the drops he missed, I had to do this week, radio station drop. I had to do this week, every interview he didn't do it. I had to do this. That's always surprised. He's been to the Breakfast three we were black. He always anything we ever asked X four if I name Club and Nori that's his favorite? Yea as those two. Yeah, he

got some classics with drink Champs for sure. Now what about you, soldier boy? What what's going on with that? Is that? Is that official? Is that just conversation? Are you just laughing? Contract? Knock it off? And I told him that a knock it off? But you know I like it because you know, let's let you let them have fun, you know what I'm saying. Like I would have rolled it out a different way, but I just

like that. You know, they're excited um that they're doing it and it's organically so is it official as of today's efficient or as of today it's efficient as of today is ficial? Wow, you know would be you know, I will be going in and out and I don't know what we happened. Bauer Sometimes I like his negotiation tactics though, you know what I mean, the negotia. You're the one called me to do it. Yeah, yeah, but

it hyped people up. It makes people have more interest in even though I think it's gonna be a great versus because say what you wanted about Soldier Boy and Baa, you can't deny what they did music and they're very entertaining. I'm oh, my goodness, it's gonna be a movie. You know what I'm saying. I like it because those those they they did, they made history so young. That's right, Yeah, that's right. They deserve it, you know what I'm saying. They deserve it. That one time you had Dre on

the fishing line a little bit. Who he was on the fishing line a little bit? Did you get him back on it or is it he still like h Now? Dre came around pretty good. You know what I'm saying. Dre came around pretty good. I gave um Dre his privacy, you know, because because of what you're going through. So I didn't really I speak to him, but I haven't been speaking to him about that, but you know, more speaking to him like human, Yes, a human you know what I'm saying, Like I don't call people just to

like forenagle the business. Like if Drey want to bring it up again, I'm gonna let him bring it up and start the conversation because he can't. He has some great ideas of what he wanted to do. Now the person that he wanted to do it with, I don't know if they're gonna agree with the terms that he's saying, but he had a great idea for the verses, so you know, hopefully we'll get to that. Come on, everybody said,

be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee. By using brands like Dove and Helmets, you're supporting Unilever and the every day good they do, like donating more than twenty five million dollars where the everyday products and services to groups like Feeding America this year, visit Unilever does good dot Com to support communities impacted by the pandemic. Donkey of the Day Democrat, So being Dunky of the Day is

a little bit of a mixed so like other Day. Now, I've been called a lot of my twenty three years, But Donkey other Day is a new wife. Yeah. Donkey of the Day goes to a home inspecting Michigan named Kevin Wayne van Loving. What a name van Loving. If this guy doesn't own in nineteen ninety two for the Econo line, I would be disappointed. Okay, at least in nineteen ninety seven plumber Voyage and maybe a Volkwagen Earl Van. Maybe moral of the story is he should drive nothing

but vans. When your last name is van Loving, you only have one vehicle of choice, and the license plate of that vehicle has to say Van Loving Sneakers too. Okay, when your last name is van Loving, you can only wear vans, the old school black and white ones with the jash crape. Now, some would say that if you drive a van and wear vans, that's the child sex offenders start a kid. I'm just saying, if you profile pedophiles, this kind of fits the description. But maybe I'm making

all this up. This is probably a personal bias that I'm projecting, so never mind me. But back to mister van Loving Now, mister van Lovin is a home inspector and he was inspecting the home of a twenty two year old woman in Oxford Township. He was inspecting the property before a sale. Well, something in that house turned Kevin van Loving on. I don't know what type of afro dgiak he used before he inspected that house. Maybe he ate some chocolate, maybe some figs, some oysters, asparagus.

Maybe something increased his lopido, his sexual function. Something got him so hot and bothered in that house that he had the pleasure himself right then and there. Let's go to WJBK Fox to Detroit for the report. Police before selling an Oxford Township couple let this man into their home on Gill Street for a routine inspection. They left, never suspecting the fifty nine year old man would allegedly

fulfill his sexual urges with their child's Elmo Doll. Deserving sexual act revealed when movement in the child's room triggered the nursery camera. The image shows when Kevin van Leuven picked up the tickle me Elmo doll. The homeowner shocked when she was alerted on her cell phone after hitting record. She immediately contacted the Oakland County Sheriff's office. Our deputies confronted him, and initially he denied it, and then they told him it was on video, and then he apologized.

He's been charged with aggravated indecent exposure and a misdemeanor charge of malicious destruction of property. But perhaps what's even more disgusting After abusing the doll, Van Leuven put it back. I never thought I would find someone who loves elmore more than Rashawn Casey aka dj Envy. I have so many questions. I know people say we shouldn't can't shame, We shouldn't shame people for what they are into sexually,

but that's ps Okay, that's some twenty twenty one. I've been woke too long, and I need some sleep because I'm not thinking straight when I'm sleepy. Rhetoric, Okay, If I can't shame Kevin van Loving for this in the word shame needs to be abolished all together. Now? Can I try to understand Kevin van Lovin? Sure, let's unpack this. How many times has Kevin Wayne van Lovin sat his ass in front of the TV and masturbated this? Sesson

me screed. I wonder I also wonder if he sat down with a therapist or psychiatrist, could he or she bring this back to something that happened in his childhood. I mean it's Almo as then tickle me Elmo? Right? And tickling equals flirting. I read somewhere, and by somewhere, I mean google that from adolescent saw and you're roughly seven times more likely to be tickled by somebody at the opposite sex. And the most common reason to tickle

is to show affection. So maybe when he was a baby, as a young lad, he got tickled a lot and the thought of tickling turns him on. I don't know, Okay, So when you're a creature, that is the symbol of tickling, maybe when you see that you get turned on. When you see that, that that symbol of tickling, that is Elmo. A lot of people don't like tickling, but tickling is a physical expression to love. So maybe just maybe he

saw Elmo and he wanted to show his love. Some people do tickle fights is for play people's stage, tickle fights in the bedroom. Nothing I'm saying makes sense, does it? Of course not? Okay, God may not make mistakes put humans do. But I hear stories like Kevin van Loven and I know they say, don't question God, but sometimes you have to recognize that God didn't give you the same brains he gave everybody else. Okay, there was certain periods in time that God was just creating anybody in anything,

all right. Genesis one twenty six says God created man in his image according his likeness. Right, well, humans, sometimes we just like to try things, gets the water to see what sticks. I think God did that when he was creating some humans. Some humans he just created with his eyes closed. Kevin van Loving might have been one of him. Okay, God made him and forgot about him.

So then mister van Loving all these years has been left to his own devices, wandering around life aimlessly by himself, without God's guidance, only to end up on Chestermee Street masturbating next to Oscar Grounds trash can while Elmo just minding his business performing Elmo song hit that tune for Me dramas Come on now, m Kevin van Loving is somewhere hot and parting right now, that's what does it for Kevin van Loving chat. Okay, enough enough enough, okay,

Kevin van Loving is reinforcing all the pedophile stereotypes. I told you driving a van and wearing vans is the sexist fend to start a kid. You know how many people Chris Hansen caught who fit that profile. And this guy, Kevin van Loving. Okay, you got caught sexually assaulting an Elmo doll in a nursery. That sounds pretty peet old file to me. Okay, Elmo is three and a half years old. Do you know that three and a half

years old? You sick bathter. This is what Kevin van Loving here is when drunken love plays a swerving on a swervin swerving on a Let really give Kevin van Loving the biggest he hall he ha he ha, you stupid mother? Are you dumb? Do it? Envy? Oh? You don't want to do the voice today? Huh? You wanna play Elmo to day? Do you? I was gonna say, well, I'm just curious he won't play a game. You want to play a game only if you do the voice?

Ask me in the voice you are a black Yes, I do kiss What Kevin van Loving, Michigan home inspector walked into a nursery and a home saw tickle Miyamo doll and had his way sexually with it. Jess what race he is? Angela Ye, start with you. I'll say Caucasian? Okay, what makes you say this with such confidence? Um, I don't know. This is what I wanted to be. Okay, uh Rashaan, I want you to do. I need you to answer in the voice the whole time. Okay, Kevin

van Loving, Yes from Michigan home inspector. You're very familiar with home inspectors. Right, he was in a home inspecting he was in a nursery, saw Elmo doll, had his way with the Elmo doll sexually. Jess what race he is? Let me chuck? The hell did you bend over like that? For the hell? Were you checking? Look like you wanted somebody to check you. Hell's wrong with you? I don't know, I don't know. You both are right. This is absolutely

a colonizer. Okay, this is the highest levels of caucasianary. Okay. The man he is just very heavy in this story. All right, all right, all right, thank you for that. You gotta register the sex offender when you do stuff like this. If you're Kevin van Loven, I'm sure that. I'm sure that guy asked, well, so I don't think so. All Right, we got more coming up next. We're a breakfast club, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We got some special guests joining us this morning. Yes, indeed you might know them from Real Housewives the Botamic but they have their own Yeah, well Potomac we have Gazelle, Brian and Robin Dixon. Welcome guys, Thank you for you know them from Real Housewives. They just launched the podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network called Reasonably Shady. That's the hell of a title. Yes, what does that? What does that name? Me? Well, okay, let me let's

give us the backstory. So um, you know, obviously we've been on the show for Weird about to drop season six who could believe it? And the trailer and six the trailer Okay, we're gonna talk about that too. Yes, yes, I think I was up here. Season one, season two, Vy was throwing shade like, you know, y'all Potomac house while I was a broke you know, is insane. Why would you say that for them? Something along those lines. Anyway,

we are have season. We're not your typical households that people were used to, and I officially was the broke one. I'm not broke no more. So you was talking about me. All typical housewid usually amorous or like dad, they're not glad. Wow, every visibly say right now, okay, but we're gonna move forward anyway, So five times system, we're good. So we all we all season six, thanks, thank you Jesus were here. We didn't make gratulations. Um and during the pandemic, you know,

we like everybody else home doing nothing around. Now we're just like, oh, let's just he now get on Instagram live and talk to the people. So after we did that, everybody gave feedback like, hey, we love just like being the third person in y'all's like girlfriend gotsap, So y'all should start to wat podcast and long behold we're here black Yeah, yes, and we're think you reasonably shady because on the show, I am the reasonable one. Yes, she's the shady one. I'm the one. I try to see

the good. I try to see every side to the story. She just goes for the shade. So yes, and we and we're we're best friends. And it's very rare you see people on TV who are literally best friends. And but it's but it's cool that you get to learn or hear about us outside of the show. Yes, because on the show we got to kind of stick to

the It's good. Yeah, it's good that you guys are still best friends, because sometimes these shows really can before the show before I mean, we're very very close before the show. Um, and I think Angela, that is why we're still friends because we had a friendship before the show. And even season one, season two when they work, when there were things that could have been drive us apart, I was just like, hell no, Like this is my girl.

If she's wrong, I'm arrived with her wrong. So what do you think when you see poor show alleged I'm sure you're spoke about it on your podcast when she's engaged to her ex alleged friends husband. What did y'all think about it? I just wish they would have waited a little more time just to like release that, you know, whatever, things happened, so I wasn't really here for it. It definitely looks very shady. I think they should have kept a little secret for a little bit more. Know what

about you to shady one? Well, actually, in this instance, I'm not shady, So you know apportion, I have another show together called chat Room on Bravo, and it just so happened, like we filmed Thursday and she said they got engaged that night, and she was like, oh, justell, I wanted to tell you, but I found out like the rest of the world on via the Instagram. But it is hard to find love or lust or whatever you're looking for out here in these streets. It's hard

to find it. So if she found it, I'm happy for her. And what if they weren't real friends, What if they were just friends for the show. There's that, but still you don't want to see if if found was still gonna be a part of the of the show. You don't want to see your ex husband. Also then there on the show with somebody else's actually a real husband,

Like that's not play play. Yeah, after she invited her into the house and all that others the great storyline, but what TV you know, I mean, we don't know if they were really friends and the TV set it up and they really didn't know each other, you know what I mean? Right right, Yeah, I don't think they were friends like that. All right, Now, I saw some requestions all about you unfollowing Wendy from Real Houseves Epotomic. Right I did. I'm I'm sorry, I don't remember. Really

is one of our newer ladies. She, um, how could we describe? So she's why I unfollowed her because she's just not that interesting, like scrawling through. I was like, just don't look interesting, So I just unfollowed. Yeah, but it looks like that from the trailer. Something does happen between YouTube just yes, and and and I. We're gonna let that play out because there's a lot of Um, there's a lot of things that she thought I did

which I did not do. And the reason why she thought I did it is because typically I do do very shady things and I own it, right, and I'm just like, I'm I'm just I'm just here to like let everybody live in the truth, so let's just talk about it. So, but I didn't come at it from a shady perspective. I was really like it was out of concern, like what's going on in your life? Are

you able to handle social media? Are you able to handle just like everything that had that goes on and goes along with being on a reality television stage, Like it's it's not for the faint of heart. It's very difficult. You really have to have tough skin. And that was that was the where I was coming from, and she

didn't believe it. Yeah, you know that's a tough one for both of you, right, dealing with relationships so publicly it is it is, and I mean, I'll be honest, my first three seasons on the show, my relationship got a lot of attention, and you know I responded kind of not happy about it. But after a while, you're like, you know what, this is part of this is what I signed up for. This is what I continue just line up for. This is what comes with the with

the territory, And unfortunately we got to live with it. Yeah, rather than you have such an interesting situation with your you guys, did you get married and get engaged? Okay, so you're not married again yet, so she's lives with her ex husband. They got engaged again, so you guys who would get married on this new season. No, not this season. I respect the pandemic and so I was not trying to have a COVID wedding. I didn't want to have to adjust my plans and have people wear

a mask. So we're gonna wait. It's fine, We're not in a rush. That's interesting, but y'all still live with each other, right, and then y'all made it work again. So right, got y'all back to So we okay, So we okay. So my ex husband is a former NBA player Wan Dixon. So we were together since nineteen ninety six. Wow, we went to college together. Um, we got married in two thousand and five, we got divorced in two thousand and twelve. We were still very much connected because we

have two children. Of course, Um, we each went through bank see foreclosure like all that type of stuff, and so when we were going through that, we kind of had to come together to support one another to get through those hard financial times. And then so he had to move back home. Then when he moved back home, he had to go back to school to finish his degree so that he can start his coach his coaching career. So we pretty much supported one another through our darkest days.

And you know when you do that, you just kind of like realize what's more important. You put the kids first, we put each other first, and now we back together. And then he put a ring on it, and then I want to keep my boo and y'are not the same people, so y'all probably had to grow in love with who y'all are now. Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.

We got more with the Housewives of Potomac Gizelle Bryant and Robin Dixon keep a lock as to Breakfast Club boarding holding everybody is DJ Envy, Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Gizelle Bryant and Robin Dixon from Housewives of Potomac. Yee. And that brings to Giselle and her relationship. Yeah, yeah, listen because it is a little similar. Right Like you guys broke up, you're working on getting back together. Some

people don't feel like it's a good idea. Even your own daughters might not necessarily think it's a good idea. So there's an update, there's a there's a plot twist. So yes, we were working on a skinting back together and being back together. And but you know, he lives in Atlanta. I live in Maryland. With the pandemic, we realize it's just not the right time, it's just not gonna work. So right now I am footloose and fancy free. I am single. I'm enjoying my hot girl summer, spring, winter,

and fall. Your dad is real. When you just said that, I'm thinking about the show. Now, your dad is real. Yeah, you don't know. Her dad is he said, eighty two years old. And her dad loves her daughter. And I can tell that your dad really doesn't like your ex because I feel like your loves her daughter. She's possibly getting back with a X. My dad don't with the X. He is clear, he don't hold his tongue. It's not one of you know you only dinner the TI for

the new season. We do see that that is something that you are still no. No, you know we know what trailers they kind of cut and splice. See you like about celectric um okay, but but no, like Jamal will always be in my life. He's the father to all of my kids. We've been together, We've been each in each other's lives twenty five years. He is one of my best friends. I to him, I don't he doesn't know any I don't know anyone more than I know a Jamal Bryant. Okay, we're gonna get to that.

We're gonna get to that. Yes, yes he's a pastor, but um so yes, no we're not together, but yes we're still in each other's lives where he's still fan. Bam. Um, you know he's he's he's he will always be in my life now as any father. Um, dad don't care if the mike off. He does care. But but the people that I was holding the mic, yeah, they don't. So you know, he gave his opinion, which is this isn't the person that I think is best for my

daughter period. He doesn't want them to hurt you again exactly. And your dad's so passionate about that. Do you still say, you know what, I'm still gonna give this guy a chance because your dad is your passionate, your hero, right and when that's raised you the one that's always had your back. Yes, he sees things that you don't. You still say, Dad, I'm I gotta figure this out on my own, or do you say I'm gonna listen to

my dad. Um, I always say I'm gonna do me right, and my Dad's gonna respect me whichever way I go. No one can tell you what to do. Ever, when it comes to relationships, you know you're gonna do what you want to do, even if it doesn't seem practical. But when but but Envy to answer your question when he when he found out that, you know, we were gonna go our separate ways currently, he just was like, you know, I think that's where you should be right now.

And I'm like, Dad, I respect that, I respect how you feel either way. Um, and my mom the same way. Like you know, I my parents have shown me the ultimate love, like no matter what I do, and I know they don't like it, but they still stand by my side, you know what I mean for me, that's like the ultimate love. Now there's also a cast met Um, I'm sure Charlotman will be interested in this. Yeah, one of the cast mats husband. Yeah, allegedly grab a man's ass. Now,

Charlotte kny would be interested. Why exactly? That's what I was like, I have a great question yourself. That's why you have a podcast. Yeah. So they really her husband really grab a guy's ass. Okay, have we seen him do that? Yes? Do we have videotape of that happening. Yes, Now, this particular person that you were referring to that it went to courts, we did not. I did not see that it was a charge. There was a charge. Oh yes, it could have charged that dude that your ass in

the building. I definitely didn't charge. Yeah, it wasn't in the build. I've sew it makes it. It wasn't in the bild DJ and a party. I killed it on the way I was walking out. He slapped me on my ass. A good job. But was it a grab or slash? These were grabs? These were like I'm getting the meat. And you can hear a little something on the mic too, as I would call. So what did she say as being his wife? You know he's Australian, he's different, he does different and different under he's down

under done? No wait a minute, what is that down? So two? Different to the babe. Okay, anyway, so you know he's a playful guy and I actually happened to like Michael right he did he know the guy he was playing with. It's a game a guy. No, okay, these are two separate instances another one, so they're okay. So on the right. Season one, on the show, we peaked him do that to a castmate's boyfriend, right, um

apparently and a producer and he did it. And he did it to a produce sir, same party season one. So then season four, while we were filming, a cameraman who was very straight. Yes, a cameraman charged him, Um, file charges because they said he said he grabbed his butt while they were filming. Yeah. Now we don't have that on camera because the man was holding the camera and I wasn't there. I didn't see it, right. Yeah,

so he says it didn't happen. I mean, of course, like you know, you don't want to get catch a charge, right, he says it didn't happen. Um, but because of the

track record, yeah, we were too soon. But I have good news in season this is season six, there was no but squeezing Butez people has you know, I'm surprised they would let you stay on the show when you if like that happens, because that is kind of like that is crazy, Sez a woman's but I mean, like, well, okay, so he brushed it off his play for in season one, right, and no one was ada And if Eric wasn't offended, yeah, cameraman was offended. You can't just play like that. I

gotta know what game we played. Everybody got to be You can't just go around squeezing things. This is true. But but again I think that he learned from you know, the court case, and he kept his hands to himself. He learned his lesson. Yes, he kept his hands, which I'm very happy to know. All Right, we got more when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Gizelle Bryant and Robin Dixon from Housewives of Potomac Yee. Now, I also saw in the trailer because you know, first of all, you know I love the real houseves at Potomac. Guy definitely watched the shower. So you you've been with us, yes, after they have, so I see that at one point you were depressed

and couldn't get out of the bed. Yeah, I mean the pandemic just like totally changed my life, like not like for the worst, you know, it just I just got into a rut um and it was crazy because I have a I have a booming hat business. Like where I was, I'm literally I sell out every week when I get shipments and stuff, and so it was just mind boggling to me that I have this booming business. I have so much room for opportunity and growth, and I literally just want to stay in the bid. So

it was something that I kind of had to work through. Um. As you see, Juan doesn't really like it, um and we kind of had to work through how he speaks to me when I'm going through something that a lot of people frankly are going through. This pandemic has been real. Yeah. So yeah, I mean that definitely is well we'll see that. Um. I just I had to, you know, go see a life coach. I had to just you know, really just take steps to just make things happen, like you just.

I wouldn't even really call it a depression though, because I think it was more. I read an article they called its language in the pandemic. So it's like you just get to a point where it's just your life, like just life is just not normal anymore. And my normal became like, well and nothing to do today, so let me stay in the bed like I would literally wake my kids up for school, you know, get on the computer, and go back to bed. So, you know, I just had to just make a list. I had

to knock things out. I just had to kind of just try to. And then she had a friend that was like, girl, you gotta get out of bed now. So you'll see on this season reasonably Shady and kind of how we started with doing our artwork for everything, I mean, doing doing our photoshoot for the artwork, telling

all the other ladies about reasonably be shady. Robin's get the hell out of me, because she wasn't at times motivated, and I'm like, we gotta we have a deal with this black effect, and we have a podcast, and we gotta get these done. We have a lot of work to do. And you know, she, Robin has so much to be grateful for, and I'm just like, you know, I attributed her not being grateful for everything that God has given her to her being in the bed, which is not Those do not connect, right, So you know

I had to kind of learn that. Um, but you know, she snapped out of it and and we're good to god. Yeah, but it's good. I mean for anyone in a situation like that, it's good to have people who hold you accountable. So I have Gizell to hold me accountable because she's a virgo. She's very like you know, on time, get it done, doesn't procrastinate. I will give you a little spoiler teaser for the for the show, which I'm probably gonna get in trouble for. But we have a reasonably

shady party, Robin and I do. And it is so shady reasonable and it is a mess and it's amazing. How are you in Karen now? Karen today? We are good today. Karen is older she um. I mean that's gonna help. That's how you should know her. Yes, yes, um she Normally she and I kind of go at it and we and we do. You will see that. But like today, we're good. But you'll you'll see a lot of growth with our relationship. All y'all allowed to talk about like what happens on the show on the podcast.

Will it be like recaps or something? No? Yes, but I feel like charmygne. That's a great thing because there's so many things that we don't show on the show, right, So people are able to see other aspects of our lives, other aspects about what we how we think and how we feel about certain things. Um, you know, I have known Robin forever and I didn't know, Like our first episode dropped yesterday, and there's so much that was like told from Robin to me in that that I was

like shocked. Like we talked about kind of like our backstory when we were teenagers. I didn't know Robin wasn't juvenile delinquent. She used to do crazy things. She used to pour soda cans and mailboxes and just dump stuff

that be careful, Robin, they can't you for you. But to find that out that she was doing all of that while I've known her forever and I had no idea, was like nice, Like that's it's just nice that the viewers are going to be able to listeners are gonna be able to like see and hear other aspects of our lives. What do you think about the last season because people were saying that it was like one of the best seasons for Housewives, but it was a lot

of drama. Yeah, it turned ugly for no reason, and um, it was unfortunate because I feel like it was there was a lot of like manipulation on social media that took place that really affected the show more so than any other show. So it's like you had the show and then you had social media. I think it was toxic. I think that there's no reason for us black women to be fighting physical fighting violence on TV. I think if you want to fight somebody, fine take her outside

when when cameras are down. Um, and I just it was that was hard to live through. I forgot about that, but ahead, Yeah, that was hard to live through from a show's perspective because it wasn't just a fight between those two people want her off the show after she pulled her head, Like was it too much physical because you know, we've seen shows and sometimes you throw a drink. You know this it was way worse than all of that. No, you know, my issue was not you know, I think

sometimes people lose their cool. Like I'm see I'm being reasonable here, right, So people lose their cool, Um, you make mistakes. If we could have moved forward from it, like the next day and people took ownership of what happened and not lie and run the social media and tell a wrong story and then you know, have people being bullied on social media. That's where it got ugly for me. But if if the incident happened and then the next day people apologize and move forward, cool, Yeah,

but she don't. But but as far as the show is because because of that, we don't know. We don't hire don't because she pulled the girl. I mean from what I know, she left on her own. Um, but no one speaks to her now, like no one spoking to her. I don't, but less Karen does. I don't know. Yeah. I always feel like, let's do whatever's best for the show, right, And you know people always ask me, well, did you want her gone? No? I just want what's best for
