This is a great weekend, man, It's a great weekend because you know that that supply chain chaos has had things backed up for a long time. And about a year ago or you getting your couch. My wife ordered a new couch and that couch came yesterday. Oh wow, so that's why I will be all weekend club couch baby. Okay, oh my god. I was laying on that thing yesterday. I didn't want to move. So

I can't wait. Let's her and get this show over so I can get back home back on that damn couch. I've been hearing so many horror stories about people that order furniture and can't get their orders. And it took us about a year's about a year and about seven months a year and eight months to get all my furniture to wear everything, chair, side, tables, you name it. Lights. We got everything finally, but I ordered some furniture and it and thank god it hasn't come yet because my

house is still not renovated to move into. So I'm praying that it doesn't come anytime soon. Yesterday. This is not a kid friendly couch, all right. Yeah, I've been on the floor to the past year. Get back on the floor. Yeah, kids the same thing, selling kids the same thing. Keep your off this couch and crayons and all that off the couch. But the funny thing is E and I ordered from the same spot. It was overseas and it was very costly to get it back.

So when I was trying, when I was buying the furniture, I was like, can you just throw my stuff in Ye's container and let her pay for it? And now I'm not trying to get in mine anytime soon. Yeah, y'all fancy. We ain't even doing nothing like that. It's like E containers fell. We ain't think we got off, we got off my kid or someplace like that. We ain't fancy like that. It wouldn't take no year and a half of the damn my kids at all. It's

like they're in the warehouse already. Yes, liarifriend worked, I kid, trust me, I know everything about it. You're a liar, You're all. You gotta put it together yourself. I don't think y'all y'all know that a kid, and I know we do definitely to a long time, right, y'all talk about containers and overseas album. Goddamn, I don't thing about that life overseas too. Let's get the show cracking, uh. John Cone will be joining us this morning. John Cohen

They just qualified yesterday and he's gonna be joining us. He's gonna tell us how he got into the sport, how he got into the game. He's a dude from NewYork that has some dreams and

he's making it happen. So shout the John Cone will be kicking with him, and then our brother from Houston, h Town, the Truth, will be joining us trade on this radio station. He's not been on this stage. He'll be here this morning. So we're gonna talk to trade the truth about his new project and his daughter. You know, last time he came up there, I believe his daughter was with him, and now he hasn't seen his daughter in months. I sign trust about that. I found really bad.

That's terrible to not be able to see your child. Yeah, so we'll talk to them about all that. Alright, let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well, we are gonna be talking about omicron and all these variants, and they're saying, now there's something that is even that spreads even faster coronavirus, just when they tell everybody to take their masks off, right, come on, man, oh my goodness. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. I want to get everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news that where were starting easy? All right, Well, the CDC wants to give people a break from wearing masks as the pandemic has been improving. They currently recommend that people wear masks and

indoor public places regardless of their vaccination status. Nearly every county in the US has high transmission right now, but people are required by federal law you gotta wear masks on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation. But states have started public health measures as new infections from the omicron variant have been declining rapidly from their peak levels in January. New York and California have dropped

mass mandates for businesses. New Jersey has also gotten rid of mass requirements for schools as well, and vaccine requirements are also being lifted across America as COVID cases are going down. But now they are saying there is a subvariant of omicron that is on the rise, and they said it is spreading faster than omicron, and it may also cause more severe disease, and it appears capable of thwarting some of the key weapons against COVID nineteen according

to new research. They're saying it can cause serious illness, and it says it can escape the immunity created by vaccines. A booster shot does restore protection, which makes illness after infection about seventy four percent less likely. They still haven't figured this thing out on how does any of that make sense though, take off your masks, were getting rid of vaccine mandates in certain places, But there's another variant

that's breatening faster and it can make people sick. They were also saying that labs have to take an extra step and sequence the virus the virus to find this variant, so they have to find a method to detect it specifically. That would be the first thing that a lot of countries need to do. It's called stealth omicron. That's what they're calling it now BA two stealth omicron because it doesn't show up on PCR tests as an s gene target failure the way that omicron does, so they got

to make sure they can even identify it. This makes sense to y'all. Anything that anything that we just heard and make sense to the ny y'all. I mean, it does a little bit because we can see it all the time. We gotta live with it. We can't let it hurt us. We have to get back to normal. That don't mean take your mask off. That don't mean,

you know, stop the vaccine mandates. If you're trying to, you know, stop it and stop it from mutating and become another variant, shouldn't you maybe keep that on a little longer. And we're seeing across the world in other places where like Denmark, then Mark, China that it's still spread and crazy because they got rid of their man dates. Two. Yeah, Demark was the first major country to lift their last

COVID nineteen restrictions and declare the pandemic over. And now they're saying that they're having an issue with cases on the rise there, so they said. Since then, Democrats continued to record more COVID cases per capita than nearly anywhere else in the world, and COVID hospitalizations and deaths have shot up by about a third. By the way, I

don't care either way. I'm just telling you that, you know, this is a mixed messaging and they clearly haven't figured out how the messages think probably yet now if they want us to just go live with it, cool, say that that's what I think it is. I think at some point where they just like live with it. It's just say that this is gonna be like the flu. So and that's what they're doing. They're like, hey, if you get it, you get it. You know, hopefully you

got your vaccine. If not, you're on your own. That's what it seems like. I would rather them say that because just don't make no it hasn't made no sense in the past two years. But whatever. All right, well that is your front page news, all right, Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eighty five one on five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.

Eight hundred five eighty five one on five babies to their kids. We got rumors on the way like twenty one. Yes, and let's talk about Spotify. We'll tell you what Ava Duberne has done, and also how much they paid for Joe Broken's podcast. Previously we thought it was one hundred million, but it looks like that deal was actually worth a

different number, a whole lot more. She's like twenty two twenty two. I think that's she has a picture of an eighteen birthday. All right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eighty five, one on five one Rumors on the way. It is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. She's filling the team. This is the

rumor report with Angela Ye on the Breakfast Club. All right, Well, Ava Duburni's Array company has pulled out with their Spotify first Look deal, and so they actually had unveiled their multi year agreement. They were going to promote inclusive storytelling and produce exclusive scripted and unscripted series. That deal was announced back in January of twenty twenty one, and now they are pulling out of that deal. So yeah, from what I hear from people who have production companies over

there is just very hard to get things done. A lot of red tape. You have to go through like way too many people got to sign off, and you know, no creative wants to be a part of that. It's the same reason the Obamas are talking about leaving, like nobody wants to feel stifled when they are creating. All right, Well, they did have one show that they had announced, but that show still hasn't happened, so it looks like nothing's

going to happen there. And then for Joe Rogan, people were saying that he had done a one hundred million dollars deal with Spotify, but now the reports are that Spotify actually paid him two hundred million dollars and that was for over three and a half years, So that was for the exclusive streaming rights to the Joe Rogan experience, according to a report by The New York Times that

came out on Thursday. Yeah, I read that story in the New York Times, and I didn't understand it because that information was always out there, like maybe because I pay attention to stuff like that. But when the deal was for us announced, it was that it was like two hundred plus opportunity to make more on bonuses. Right. They announced their exclusive deal a little under two years ago in May of twenty twenty, but they did not

reveal the value of the content. And then Joe Rogan released his first show on that streaming service on September September first of twenty twenty, and then later on that year he was exclusive to Spotify. Yeah, I mean Joe Rogan as a podcast as an anomaly though, like it's literally the biggest podcast in the world audio and video wise. When it was on YouTube, it was you know, popping,

So you know, Spotify paid for his audio and video. Now, as far as Spotify making money, they said podcasts advertising accounts for thirteen percent of their total revenue of twenty twenty one, and they had lost money for years. They finally became profitable for the first time in history in twenty nineteen, but then then next year it lost the equivalent of about two point two million dollars every day.

So those are just some numbers for you, all right. Now, Michael Rubin's Fanatics and jay Z and a Little Baby, Meek Mill, Maverick Carter, and several other people have now purchased Mitchell and spe So they're saying that it's an

iconic brand with a limitless future. According to Michael Rubin, statement, he said, I'm incredibly excited for Fanatics to partner with this incredible group of innovative owners to build upon the company's already strong business that has kept the brand culturally relevant for more than one hundred a year two hundred fifty million now for Mitchell and I don't know if they bought it outright off a percentage of it, but I would say this, I do pray that they You know,

there's a lot of people that really connected Mitchell and S with the industry, with the athletes, and one of the gentleman's name was Ruben. He was the one that he had the marketing genius to take it just outside of the old you know, ur jerseys and just the old things that they used to do and actually give it to artists, give it to Walleigh, give it to Fabulous, give it to athletes, your Jordan's, your Abbasons, and your shacks, and give the jerseys to them so they can wear.

And that's what really brought the company back. And I hope that they take care of that gentleman. I know he has a I think a restaurant out in Philly or a food truck out in Philly. Ruben so they should take care of Ruben. Well, their brand was acquired from Juggernaut Capital Partners and seventy five percent of ownership is going to Fanatics. The twenty five percent is for the other involved parties. Well, can I get a better deal on my hatch? Now? Mitchell NS does the Black

Effect hats? You know, sleuth my guy train over there, So can I get a better deal on the hats? Well, Mitchell N's is still going to operate as a separate entity within Fanatics, So I guess whoever you deal with. And Jay Cole has done a Dreamer NBA Mitchelln's Authentic throwback jersey's collection too, by the way, so that's available

also right now. It's the Dreamers takes on the designs of sixteen different NBA team jerseys, so the brand's logo replaces the name of the teams but has the same style and color combination of like the Chicago Bulls, the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers, Boston Celtics, so on and so far. Rocke, Mitchell and Mitchell and like I said, they make the black Effect hats. And actually those jerseys dropped today at noon if you want to get those and flew to my guy Emory too. He actually put that play together

Vegas Jones for Vegas Jones one time. Man. I'm not sure if you guys saw this, but Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly, and the Los Angeles Rams are covering the metal coal expenses and that is a four photographers. She actually suffered an injury. She fell off the stage during the rally portion of the Super Bowl victory festivities that happened on Wednesday. Kelly Smiley is her name. She's a photo editor for the NFL, NHL, and NBA. She was stepping backwards to take a picture of Matthew Stafford

and his wife and she fell off the stage. If you saw the video of this, he just walked away when it happened, and then we don't know if he walked back over there. But people were upset that Matthew Stafford didn't try to help or anything, and the Staffords have since released a statement. They said they will take care of all of her hospital bills. They said, we've been in communication with Kelly Smiley since yesterday's incident and

we are sorry for what happened. As we told Kelly, we will be covering all her hospital bills and replacing her cameras. We wished her a speedy recovery. And there was also a go fund me and they said they were asking for thirty thousand dollars to help get her back on her feet. Those donations are now over forty five thousand dollars. But she did factor her spine. Let me ask your question. I saw some of that video right,

there was a lot of people around. Why didn't people only get upset with Matthew Stafford because he didn't help? I don't know. Maybe because in the video she was taking the picture. I don't know that makes zeal And we also don't know where I've been after the camera stop rolling because it cuts away after that, so we

don't know if he walked back over. I saw a video yesterday of a man pretending to be blind and he fell, and the two black people ran away from him when he did at for whatever they thought he was falling, so they ran away too. So I mean, what do you expect somebody like Matthew Stafford to do in that situation? It was a lot of people around, Like, I don't get it, Like we'd be so obsessed with celebrity and it's like this is celebrity didn't help me.

It was mad people around a lot of people didn't help. I agree, Well, we don't know if anybody did help. I'm sure somebody did. But why why is Matthew Stafford getting the blame for this? By the way, all right, well that is your makes sense to me. All right, Well when we come back with our front page news, what are we talking about? Easy, Well, let's talk about Charlotte means cowboys. They actually had to pay two point four million dollars. And we'll tell you why they need

to be paying me. That's all right, how boys need to be doing. We'll get into that paying Breakfast club. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same. February twenty first comes to highly anticipated new CW series All American Homecoming Rodington and starts to own. Hicks begins her new life at Brixton University with Black Excellence is a way of life. Don't miss All American Homecoming, premiering Monday,

February twenty first on the CW Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Let's get in some front page news where we start using for the Dallas Cowboys had to pay two point four million dollars quietly to some cheerleaders who accused an executive their former the Cowboys former senior vice president, Richard how you say his last name, Dala Rymple, Dala Rymple.

They are saying that he slipped into their dressing room at the AT and T Stadium in twenty fifteen and was basically taking images with his phone. According to ESPN, one of the accusing cheerleaders that she spotted him behind a partial wall with his iPhone extended toward them as they were changing their clothes, and then he got into the dressing room using a back entrance and his security

key card. So that settlement was reached back in May of twenty sixteen, after the cheerleaders went to the team's human resources department and then they hired attorneys, and then that's when that settlement was made. Get your money sounds like they're deserved to me. You imagine that an executive where at the place where you worked, taking pictures of you while you're getting on dress. Get your money. I'm

thinking about too, when the Cowboys for conversation. Now you're in Cleveland, and I see there's some bad weather, but it is all Star weekend. What's going on out there? It's disgusting when I landed. Is first of all, it's freezing in Cleveland right now, and it was snow and old night, so the roads are a little nasty and the weather is cold. But they're saying that they're expecting huge, a huge number of people to come to Cleveland this weekend.

So we'll see for everybody traveling, I know, I just got back from Atlanta last night. I had a lot of flight delays. So for people, I know it's an extended weekend, just make sure you check your flights and see what's going on all right now. A Brooklyn Street gang has been charged with taking more than four point three million dollars in pandemic relief benefits. What they did they used stolen identity identities, and they filed one thousand

fraudulent pandemic unemployment claims. According to prosecutors, eleven members of the Woo gang were accused of filing more than twenty million dollars in false benefit applications. About a fifth of those were approved, the rest of them were not approved, and so they said the gang was ultimately caught in part because they were posting a lot of pictures and videos online. They were flashing gang signs, piles of cash, standing in front of luxury cars, including Lamborghinis and Benzes.

So whose fault is that? It's their fault for committing the crime, and it's their fault for incriminating themselves via social media by showing everybody what they were doing. Right. Ten of the eleven men, who are all twenty three years old or younger, were taken into custody yesterday. They could not be reached for comment. It was not clear if they have yet retained attorneys. But they also had

a song a music video on YouTube. It's called Trapping Lord and some of the lyrics are unemployment God is working a lot, you know. Saying that is part partly a reference to the frouds can remember they don't want those lyrics. We saw this big push to make sure that lyrics can't be used against you in court. Some situations you just dumb as dumb as how And that's

what we said. That's why I like, even if you're going you know, you're fighting for rappers, Lyrics not to be used in court in situations like that, how can they not be? Just let me ask you question how old those brothers? You said, what how old? They all are either twenty three or younger. I think about it like this, to fill out those applications, Those applications are long and you gotta get a lot of information. Number brothers are smart. Just imagine if they use that smartness

for others of them for good. But they got to hold the names, the birthdays to social Security numbers of eight hundred people, and then they use those names to submit nearly one thousand claims to the New York States Department of Labor for unemployment benefits. And also when you hear, you know, Eric Adam say things he want to like

wanting to ban drill wrap. That's what I said the other day, Like sometimes you're saving people from themselves because you know, number one, they're not smart enough to not commit the crimes in the first place. But then when they commit the crimes, they get on social media and they tell them they incriminate themselves. I'm not gonna look up this song trapping though Lord on YouTube, but all eleven men have been charged with conspiracy to commit access

device for ard and aggravated identity identity theft. How can you feel sorry for them in any way shape before they earned every bit of jail time that they're about to get every bit all right, Well, that he's your front page. Why do they even think this is legal? That's that's the strange thing that bugs me out. There was a time when we was growing up at least we knew we were actually committing crimes. These people act

like what they're doing is actually legal. But I'm wondering if they're thinking, well, maybe the police don't listen to this type of music, or the police ain't gonna follow me. It's rappers false, All these rappers that have been lying all these years about the crimes they was committing. All the real criminals said well, you know what, maybe we can just rap since they were rapping about the life that we really living and if they can get away the way, we can get away with it. Two, The

difference is they was lying. Okay, if I was a cop, right and you was a cop, sharlot, you a cop, whatever you are? If the way with the first place you would look wouldn't be Instagram, would it be social media? Point? Yes, it would be the first time even got a guy on't even got to no other investigation. Give me an avatar of a woman with a BBL and follow all the rappers, okay, being a d m's like, oh you

doing it? Boy? What else you got? I'm trying to find this song I got you better stop all types of curses all right now, when we come back, Trade the Truth will be joining us. Of course, Houston's own release own, and we're gonna talk to him when we come back. I said, don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Go Morning, the breakfast Club Morning.

I gotta do something with it, man, put them on some putting them out ninety streets of America out right now.

I was gonna ask you. When I walked in there, I was telling you about you know what, I'm doing a car show in Houston, the first call show that she's gonna be in Houston Fathers Day weekend. You said, I'm fighting to be a father. Now, what's going on with with that case? You know, because we see you with your children all the time, what's happening with that one. That's just a frustrated situation and self one because you know that's that's my only daughter. She's been up here before. Yeah, yeah,

you know you always Yeah, I didn't understand. I was like, when did that happen? When did that disconnect happen? Yeah, that's the thing. It never the relationship with me and my child never happens. It just becomes when people get involved in between. And um, I'm a natural fighter in general, So for me to be dealing with what I'm dealing with with my daughter make you feel weak in the sense because it's like, man, like, I don't play by my kids. But it's been going on. It's going on

four months. I ain't seeing my daughter. Man. First, it started off quote unquote money inconvenience. Well, I mean, you know, I do what I'm supposed to.

It's cold around COVID not going over and as everybody else getting to see my child but me, and I'm a

flesh and blood father. So to become irritate, man, you know, let's get the FaceTime, must be to it through the phone or whatever they want to answer. Yeah, I saw you post that video recently where they weren't answering for like four days. Did they ever? That's a whole bunch of more they ain't even posted. But you know, I'm

gonna tell you why I do that. Right, in a lot of cases with fathers and kids, and some of these kids get older, they tell the question like, well, why you didn't fight for me or why you didn't fight as hard for me? And two things. One I needed to be documented so my daughter, no, don't ever think it was a day that went by that I wasn't thinking of fighting for you. And also to give the file fewer to some of these other parents need man, because believe it or not, most people can relate to

that than anything, and not just only fathers. There's some mothers that's in situations of fathers. But you know, it's a frustrating situation, man, And I feel like regards if I care to get along with you, I don't anything, even if we never say one at to each other, shouldn't affect me being able to be the fast I need to be. I get up a fly to LA every month, I said, at the airport all day excited waiting to see my daughter jump back on the plane.

Come spend time, you know, And I know that because I follow you and I see you all the time going to do that. At the beginning of the phases and court, the judge that we had then he enable the situation like he was letting a lot of stuff slide go to where they got comfortable. And now I show it to La and I'll be at the airport. My daughter never show up, and I have to fly back by myself, and so crazy. Everybody knows me for this.

So the workers there, the flight attendants, you know, they'd be just as heartbroke because they'd be expecting her to come. And when they see me coming back by myself, you know, I gotta take that walking sand, which I'm not tripping because I'm still gonna fly out there. They're gonna try and get my daughter. But it's just like it's just a heartbreaking situation in the general, no question when you go, you know, and this is say, the first time that happened,

What did you think was going on? When you was like, well, when they're not bringing up like she's not showing up, man, only because you're my brother, being honest, that was a different type. I ain't got head, you know what I'm saying. I end up talking to my little sister, my lawyer like come back, because you know, their first mind is the heap of the leaders, the airport. They're gonna go get his baby on wherever. And in my mind, I feel that's what I'm supposed to do. But I also

I've grown to the point I'm real smart. I have to strategize a different type of way because all it takes is one time, like right now, they got so much stuff stacked against them and they ain't been held account before. But one little thing for me stripped me from everything from truth and I can't gamble, you know, man. I'm one of the strongest people ever. My kids is my weakness. What is the attorney saying, what have you been to court? Because I know, of course usually don't

favor the father. So it's a crazy situation because I've been trying to go to court since December, man, and with the code that's so backed up, Like right now, I believe I have a court date in less than a week. And we had to keep fighting for that because it was saying there was a court date that was gonna come March. Sometimes it's like, man, that's going on four months, that's a hundred and twenty days without I don't even know how my daughter smell At this point.

You got to realize kids can grow in a matter of a month. So and four months, bro, I don't even it's you know what I'm saying. And I feel like my biggest fears it can affect our bond, you know what I'm saying, Like I got a song I'm gonna put out Friday, Just meet Vin call. I hope it don't change you because that's my biggest feel. Like right now, she a call and whenever she do call on the iPad, you know, we'll talk sometimes she really I know, I don't miss you. No, I don't love you.

What as mad as I would be, It's just like shell on no better right because because everybody, Yeah, I feel like she know the relationship we got, and I know once I get in the vicinity to get my baby, I'm good. Yeah, I definitely, I definitely know my daughter. Ay never did that. You gotta realize I ain't never. I've never whooped none of my kids. I'm the father. I'm the father that they run behind because they know I'm giving whatever they want and I'm gonna move mountains

for them, you know what I'm saying. I think one of the frustratingest parts of it was talking to her and at one point you hear say, Daddy, I want to come home. Not in she not in the crime way. She just said in the normal just her, you know, because kids express theirself. But soon as she said, I catch it. But I want to make sure I caught it right. So I'm like, hey, what you say? And she look up and she look at me and she's not saying that. I say, no, no, look at me.

I say what you said, and she won't say nothing. So then she started. She had a lollipop. She started moving up arm around it signs are nervous, you know what I'm saying, Like she did something like she in trouble at this point. That's a different type that makes you feel some type way because it's like, and I answer for at least two to three minutes straight. She would never say it again. You know what I'm saying. I feel like that can be damp for me on

the outside. I can't speak for everybody. I feel like that could be damaging because now my child scared to express herself freely. You know what I'm saying, I'm just type man. I don't care who it is. You say what you want to say. And if they got a problem your dad, they're coming. But it's just a hard situation because again I haven't I haven't got to it. Like I'm flying Sunday and praise, she show up to the airport and she's gon show up to the airport.

I gotta take it on the chin come back because I can't jempardize to be set up to where I gotta get walked out of her life. So you fly because that's your visitation time. So yeah, so all this is on paperwork, like it's that's a crazy thing. The paperwork is already there. You're bucking the system. Now, I ain't do my part on the paperwork man, the people at the home, like I paid child support. If my child support ain't paid on time, get it, they come

and get me. So it's like it's a mess of situation. I'm paying child's sport and can't. I can't tell you nothing about what's going on my child. See why you put the scheme mask back on? Now drink? I see why you got to keep mad. He didn't speak to us doing in four months. He goes to the airport every time for his daughter, doesn't get it, but continues to go back. Yeah, I'm not gonna stop going. Some days I may get mad. I may call twelve times in the row. I know, I know my daughter had

an iPad. But I don't call every single day no more, because I feel like that's starting to take its toll on. Mean, you know what I'm saying, because now you get frustrated, like like you ain't returning the car, you ain't doing none of that. So now you know I call, but I make sure I document when I called, so at least if nobody else know a matter truth, and know, hey,

don't think I wouldn't you know what I'm saying. So in a situation like that, if you didn't do what you was supposed to do, they would lock you up, they would put leans on your property, would garner ship your wages. So what happens if the mother doesn't do what she's supposed to do? Does does the same thing happen on the other side? I will it, haven't you know what I'm saying. So we got a new judge.

Now I go to court Tuesday. I can only hope this judge do right by that because this is a court order we both signed, and you're bugging the system like I'm gonna do it out. Not only that, I just got served, So not only are they not the behind and about the court order in Texas? Now they served me saying well, I don't want to deal with that the more I want to make sure residency is in California right now. So they just they bucking in every way. But I gotta sit back and wait and

see what they do. We got more. We traded truth. When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club comrning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne. All the breakfast club were still kicking with We traded truth, Charlomagne. Let's shift gives a little bit shot out baby, True. True. I mean this news ain't no better. But you was in a car accident. Yeah, you got hospitalized because of the incident that cover. I wasn't so I got hospital at but I didn't have to stay down the thing.

I was good. I was on my feet as everything was normal. Man, that had to be a drilling, because a day or so later, everything and start falling on the part I got a knee brace song and I saw you moving a little slow. Yeah. Man, they hit because they had me on crutches because my knee was dislocated. You know what I'm saying. But what happened when an accident for people, I don't know this Even this is a little crazy. I was at the airport all day in La waiting to get True showed up. I ended

up having to fly back here. And when I flew back its TG and Kodak was at a place called camp and I just wanted to pull up screaming them for a few and as I'm leaving to go to the house, somebody hit me and the whole mayback spent and then it went up on two wheels. The crazy thing, I feel like everything was in slow motion. That my first time, it was just being in the wreck. But when it went up on two wheels, you know, when

you know something to hit you, you brace. I was just prepared, thinking, we feel a start tumbling, but God said differently, came back down and um, I was good to walk away until I got to the hospital. It was like you were thinking, Man, if I would have picked up my daughter like I was supposed, I wouldn't have been out to that I've been Definitely it wouldn't have been out. I'd have been at home the way. Yeah, the new album United Streets of America. What made you

take it back to the streets in that way? I mean, you're always in the street, but you know in this way, because the thing is, man, you never forget where you come from or what's in you that's always gonna be in me. You know, it's embedded than me to the death. But what I did was, you know, I'm a natural big homie. So the reason it's called true season for everything that I had going on, if y'all look at

at the last year. I had so many accomplishments that you know where I come from, the stuff that ain't supposed to happen for me like that. Yeah, from haveing my own hot wheel to everything, and it was like, you know, guards showing signs that this is my season. So of course I always get back. So what I did was, I said, I'm gonna do it the tape. I'm gonna do them by states. So the person is the Michigan addition, all the homies who remind me of me. Some may have a bigger buzz, some may have the

smallest of the small It doesn't matter. You got a bunch of songs with Ice Vel. Yeah that's my little brother, so Ice wales on the whole bunch. Yeah, Yeah, definitely, And I'm pretty sure you'd tell you the same. You know, that's my little brother man shout out him, and you know I stand behind everything he got going on. Everybody part of the tape. You know, baby Face Ray, shout out him. You know his project going right now? Baby

Money just signed with QC. You got Peasy snap Dog Payroll, Jeff Vianney, east Side egg Roll, who else we got him? That Louis Ray if I'm forgetting somebody to correct me, because yeah, yeah, Peazy Snap. Then only two from Houston as my nephew Niko and my brother Jayton, which Jayton Project come out this Friday too, you know what I'm saying. So you know, I felt like that was something important for me, nixt up as Houston, you know what I'm saying.

So I'm getting that one together. Then it's either gonna be George or California. You've been around for twenty plus years, Yeah, easily, I'll go on another twenty. How do you think hip hop is as evolved since you started? I think it grows and elevates all the time. Because somebody was just talking to me about just Black culture in general and kids, and it's like, just think of the generation that Man

came after us, they were starting to be advanced. But now you have some of these kids that's one third of the age doing things that we still probably have

in accomplished. So with that being said, in the industry, Man, I always tip my hat to tip my hat to him because that's why I embraced so many because people be like Man, you did with the younger artists, the old artist, just one of the people that embraced But it's like you have to think giving giving credit with credits to do if you had, if it wasn't for some of these younger artists, some people wouldn't know about what going viral is all because some of the younger

artists actually showed me with me being banned, right, they showed me you still can figure out ways to sell out shows, sale records, and do everything else without having to even focus on that side of the globe. So I definitely think the industry is only getting more and more, more and more advanced. Is that being even still matter to you? It don't matter to me no more. It's there, but it don't. It don't matter me. No. Man doesn't

stop you for anything you do in the city. Or I think the fight I got in me and the fire got of me, it just it ain't gonna stop because now as a brand, you ain't gonna find them bigger than me when you come that way, because whether it be the music, whether it be the business, whether it be the frontline fighting for the people, whether it be the community side to where y'all know, I got my own sports league, I got four corners, boxing gym, the ice cream shop I have with my partner Roger

that employ especial needs. It's I have so many different things, let alone bump box. We got license to UFC, NFL soccer, baseball, so there's so many, Uh, there's so many different things that we got going on. It's just like I just love a hustle. Though. We don't talk about bone Box enough. Man, I don't think people realize that's your company. They see these big radios everywhere. You see them at the games, you know. But it's like side the breakfast was right there,

looked at y'all got the original. That was when we first started. Man, you know, the crazy thing is only one and there's three of us, so we can't take you home, so we just gotta leave it. But I like it there though. But it's just like, I don't think people realize that's Trade of Troops company. We started that company, we were worth probably eighty thousand dollars man, and that was for us. That's a lot, because you know it's a company. Now they have praised us close

to one hundred million right now. Wow. Now, I mean stuff like that you got to celebrate because it's like you know, there's so much to you. And you know a lot of times when people we wait till people transition and start talking about everything that they're doing, and well, everybody know what you're doing the community, everybody know you the music, but they don't know how great a business man you are. I got man, I'm always trying to think of different things, but my biggest, like I said,

my biggest is to openness, emergency, chills, and shelter. And at this point, I'm gonna try and get to a point where I can open up some type of school or real community center just for for someone of you. And lately I've been getting real in tune with mental health, so of course I'm just being real with you. When people used to bring that too, we used to thinking. We used thinking, hey, they're only talking about crazy people, you know what I'm saying, But ninety percent of us

really do be going through that. Like me, I get in my phases sometimes I may want to just sleep or stay in my room just not be bothering. And that's the form of that, you know what I'm saying, Because you can look at it as depression, you look at it as me getting away from everybody. So I think a lot of people don't really understand all of us probably having it is. We just have to know

how to embrace it, how to deal with it. So I'm definitely diving into that to start trying to figure out how to help some of the little homas you long. I'm saying, Man, if you need somebody to talk to, let me know. You know, I Vessel I sent him out this place called Inception in Farming to Michigan. Him and Chico went out there like that. That opened up his eyes to a lot of the trauma that he hadn't been been dealing with. So he's been he's been

investing in his mental wealth lately. I gotta commend you for even being able to get somebody to go do that. I think the hardest part is just accepting it. You know what I'm saying. I don't. I don't think honestly, I don't think I'm prepared to go sit on and talk with nobody. I think I just I'm used to dealing with my ideal with it. But you don't have to go trade That's the point. You go and pack some of this stuff, you know what I mean, and you'd be surprised, Like, man, all the stuff we went

through ain't normal. You don't been shot, you know what I'm saying. You got a long list of traumas that you that you probably haven't never dealt with, you know, and you've just been suppressing. I guess the reason I'd be cool because my music is just a farmer I get as long as I can do that. I laid it out there, you know what I'm saying. So I've always been cool with that. But man, you're talking off record. We're trying to figure out take that next step definitely. Well,

let's get into a joint. What you want to hear, trade whatever you want to play, Let's play shake him Off the Dona. Yeah, we can do that too, shake him Off, Take him Off featuring baby Face. I can't wait to the Georgia project too. I need to hear you and Tip back together. I need to hear you and duvall you and Duval in a minute. It's crazy as he all into music and me and him so men do. We were having conversation, we have just real

life conversations. And I got to salute him because you know, when my niece Lyric died, he came supporting that he was there. Actually he performed at the funeral. We got real history, so shout out to him. But one thing I will say, I always get on this ass though, because he don't feel to nothing. I'll be telling us some time, bro, like, no, what's trade whatever? Yeah, So it's July twenty second. I don't even know if y'all know. So they gave me two trade days now, so it's

July twenty second and they're twenty four. It was so much going on last trade. They nobody realized they just made July twenty fourth trade. They wow. So it's the twenty second Land twenty fourth for trader. All right, Well, we appreciate you for joining us, training the truth. Yeah, you need us. We're here for you always. I appreciate you all for having man. All right, Well, it's trade true, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Oh gosh reports, it's

report breakfast Club. All right. Well, push your tea was recently on three sixty with Speedy Mormons, Our God Speedy Yes, and one of the things that he talked about was posting his contract. Now, a lot of people were saying, oh, he's off good music and he's on good terms with Kanye though, because they've never not been on good terms. But he did say that his next full length will complete his record contract with def Jam and the label has been great. But here's what he said about posting

that contract and people speculating. Are posted a contract and you know, people were like, oh my god, he's leaving good, Oh he's leaving death Jam or whatever. But actually the contract was yay, signing over my profits from my back catalog and the profits for this album as well, just straight to me. Yeah, So it wasn't it wasn't anything bad. It was like, I didn't say like, oh I ain't message. You're just like, no, look, you just take the money,

you know. Okay, that's honorable, right, he said. He also said that there's no album that's better than mine this year, and so it's going to be dropping some time in the next two to three months, and half of it is produced by Kanye, the other half it's produced by the Neptunes. I mean, it's very early to say that, but from what I've heard, I can see why he would say that. Yeah, I can I can see that. I can see why he would protection production is gonna

be on ten so you know that. Here's what he also had to say about Drake and Kanye making up and his own issues during that time period. Yeay and him squash and interest in looking past what was and looking forward to what's to come. Oh, I've already looked past that. I don't. I don't look towards that anymore, not looking towards it. But is there a chance bygons movie bigons old bigons are bygons far as I see. I mean, you know, and I think that's really good

that they did squash it. That's like, that works really good for them. Did you know that that was happening because it took everyone else by a surprise because it happened very quickly. Of course he just told me and I told him that was that that might be good for you. Very diplomatic, pusher, very diplomatic, very sorry casting, very diplomatic. Good job too, speedy, drop on a clues mom from my speed speedybout here cooking all right now. Kanye West has announced that Donna two will be released

exclusively on his Stem player. He posted, Donna two will only be available on my own platform, not on Apple, Amazon, Spotify or YouTube.

I wasn't the one that you know pushed me to a new platform, all right. Well, he's also going to be performing that day in Miami, FYI Miss Cleo. If you guys don't know who Miss Cleo is, she's from the nineties and she was an infomercial Psychic Lean.

Here it is. Don't you really want to know? Okay, I was wondering my baby one le, all right, let's take a look the Miss Cleo DNA test. They're solely searching for the father of your baby. Cards kind of reveal things that you will never see by yourself. Calmno, for your free Tarrell readers. They're doing a documentary and then that she brought it over a billion dollars in paper call sales for the Psychic Readers Network. You have no idea how excited I am to see I cannot wait.

And I didn't even know I needed this until I saw that they announced that they were doing a Miss Cleo documentary. And that's exactly what I wanted to know. How much money did Miss Cleo make? I don't think she made all the money though, you know things. Yeah, she was on the Psychic Friends Network, so they hired her to actually hide her yea commercials. She was a worker, but man, could you imagine the person that owned that network?

Because classic it's crazy too, because they got an episode where she talks about this documentary coming out in twenty and twenty two. You shut up? What all right? Now? Rumor has it Wendy Williams is getting close again to her ex husband, Kevin Hunter. So I'm not sure how true or not this is, but there's an article on Radar Online that says Wendy has no one in her life but Kevin. She never had close friends and hasn't spoken with her staff, and months after her mom died,

Wendy didn't even have a family. All she has is Kevin and the sun they share together. So he's back in her life again out of necessity. He might not have treated her right in the past, but when he was in her life, none of this crazy stuff happened. He would never have allowed her bank to freeze her assets and would have made sure Wendy went to work

each day. So those are the reports. We have yet to see evidence of this, but that is according to Radar Online and Atlanta Donald Glover show Atlanta is coming to an end after its fourth season. Donald Glover spoke at the Television Critics Associations went to press tour and explained death is natural. I felt like when the conditions are right for something, they happen, and when the conditions aren't right, they don't happen. I don't feel any longevity

because then things start to get weird. The story was always supposed to be what it was, and the story it really was us, everybody in that writer's room, everybody on set. It really was what we were going through and what we talked about. I think it ends perfectly. I respect that. And the reason I respect that it because the lets you know that he's doing it just

for the art. I mean that he had a beginning, a middle, and an end and he know exactly, you know, the story he wanted to tell and how he wanted to end it. I respect that because a lot of times people stick around too long just for the money. All right. And last, but not least, congratulations to everybody involved with the show Harlem. They had been renewed for a second season from Amazon Studios, So shout out to everybody there. Tracy. This is Tracy Oliver's comedy. It has

Now, John Cohen is an He's a minority that owns his own NASCAR racing team. I just call the New York Racing Team. It's not too many minorities that own nascars a racing team, but he owns one. He's from New Jersey. He's gonna tell you how he came up, how he came up, how he purchased the team, and how he uh just recently qualified to racing. That

they tuned a five hundred, which happens this weekend. It's pretty big. Not too many minorities that have their own racing team. I think he's the only one, I said. I think they said Jordan, but I don't even know if Jordan has his own team still. But we'll talk to John when we come back. Good brother, 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 that we got a special guest joining us,

yes his three month the brother John Cohen. Welcome brother. I appreciate you guys having me appreciate you. Now. I met John a couple of years ago. Um, he owns a NASCAR A NASCAR what does that mean? So in two thousand and nine, I decided to do something different. I jumped into the world of Nascar. I felt like everybody was around me was into music, clothing, and I felt like I want to do something different. So I was into racing from Nork, you know. Um that was

a big race scene, drag Racene and just growing. I was just want to do something different. So, UM, I got with some guys down in North Carolina, built my team and now I'm in a Cup Series from there. So NASCAR is not. I always looked at NASCAR a good old boys club, you know what I mean? So even to be an owner was it hard? Was the process hard? Especially when I started because I was the only one when I first started besides Brad Daugherty, but he was a part owner of a team that had

UM traditionally people that was already in the sports. So for me started out by myself, it was my own. Everybody thought it was Crazyvalier b daughter Yeah, yeah, so he was pretty much the only other black owner there at the time, you know, and he helped me a lot with different situations when I asked Hi about stuff. He was definitely one of the people I could reach out to and talk to. But besides that, at the time, it was nobody else represented, especially from the Inn City.

Like I was, what got you in the NASCAR? Like, you know, you're from New York. I'm from New York. We don't ever see NASCAR. The only thing we've seen for a NASCAR was back in the day when you did I have the eminem jackets or the Shell racing jackets. So what got you? Were you watching NASCAR as a kid or were you into it? So I went to Granmam State University, right and then I got homesick, so I transferred to Delaware State for a little while. And

at Delaware State, over raceways right across street. So like one of my first semesters day, I walked across the street and saw a race and I was like, that's crazy. You know, but at the time we was always I was into motorcycles, drag racing. So once I felt like I can catch that lane into NASCAR, I just jumped right on it. And do you just buy a car and say Nascars it like sports where you have to

get a franchise, Like how does this? So? When I first started, it was it was just you know, building your own cars, you know, and with a specting NASCAR spects. But now we have a charter system where if you come in you have to buy a charter, you know. And I wasn't one of the you know, uh the grandfather teams actually get a charter. Son working on that now so I run as an open team. What did it do to give a NASCAR owner? Uh, just make

sure to pick the right driver start with that. Then sponsorship, which is the biggest player NASCAR, and then just building a team around at pit crews. If you notice now a NASCAR most of the pit crew members are black, and you know that's due you know, um, the diversity department with Phil Horton and Dion Roca Williams, they came in, you know, created a whole base for athletes coming from other sports, coming from pitcrew. So my thing is now for me for being a NASCAR I want to bring

more engineers and crew chiefs of color into NASCAR. We don't have any. So I work with like the Urban Racing School of Philadelphia is a STEM program I doing. I'm trying to build kids from there up into the higher parts from NASCAR. We don't. We don't represent anything when it comes to the smart side of NASCAR. And when I say that, the smarts the engineer and the crew chiefs, because those guys make a lot of money. Some crewchies make the million dollars a year NASCAR. Wow.

So you have to handle everything from NASCAR traveling, bringing a NASCAR from state to state, handling the pit crew. You have to pay for all that. So how do you get your investment back? How do you get your money back? It comes from like just like football, you know, we get paid for the race from the TV rights and sponsorship. But for me, sponsorship is the hardest thing to deal with because a lot of times when you talk to brands like have you won yet, and I'd

be like, no, I haven't won yet. So they're like, oh, when you win, you know, we'll jump on But it takes money to win, like you just can't win without And like I feel like me being African American and being the only fully amount already on team in the highest level of NASCAR, I feel like a lot of companies I should be represented a lot more different than where I'm getting from there. Describe your experience as a

black owner and a white male dominator sport. So a lot of times, me being an owner, like a lot of these fans, even black fans and white fans, don't know who I am because my last name is Cohen, so they don't put that as black. And then too, you know, when you walk around, they don't realize that

you're an owner. So a lot of times I had incidents that I'd be at the track and I see two white owners going one way and I go that same way, and then security stopped me and tell me I can't go that way, and I show my past like I'm my owner, and You're like, no, you still got to go that way, and I'd be in a big argument, and you know, I have to call NASCAR security, and this is not like nascars, so it's NASCAR's security,

then it's track security. So a lot of the tracks be people from them areas that they see black people. They're not really especially when I first started, it's gotten a lot better now it's just nas NASCAR has really transformed in the last couple of years of how they look and bringing other people into the sport. Now have you won a race yet? And how does it work? Like this? First plot prize get this amount of money, second prize place, get this amount of money, third product. Yeah.

So for example, if you want a Day twenty five hundred, which is the twentieth UM you win one point eight million dollars, win that race. The last place if you finished three hundred thousand, so you get paid regardless. So you're in that race. Yes I have to qualifying, but yeah, I'm in that race. NASCAR made much of an outreach the black black black communities, UM they have recently in in a couple of years. I mean they I mean,

you really didn't have that base. But after honestly, after George Floyd and everything happened in the incident with Bubba kind of it came over outlet of so Brandon Thompson, he runs a UM divers and inclusion of the nascars. He actually reaches out to different people, like we raced in LA this weekend. Um so they ice Cube perform at Pitbull. They also Jamil Hill. There they bringing different people out. Oh yeah, yeah, they bringing different people out

the show. You know, NASCAR is just not you know, a good sport anymore. They're trying to bring more people. I don't know why black and brown people not into it. Could be like cars love cars, you know what I mean, envy exactly. I was also gonna ask when it comes to, you know, getting some of these people up to endorse you, to sponsor you, how difficult is it? Because I mean

we see all these companies. We see Eminem's give eminem give money, We see gas stations give money, we see car companies give money, we see beverage companies give money. How difficult did it is it? Like to get that money? It's difficult. I mean it's difficult one dealing with you know cmos, trying to get them to get on board, and honestly, for me, it's more difficult dealing with black cmos. And you know, because they did the first anything. It's like,

oh it's not sexy enough for me. Like for me, like we made to Kentucky Derby sexy. So like if we can do anything, you know, black people make anything sexy, and we put our mind to it. So it's just them looking at it a different Like everything, I feel like everybody jumps onto the same thing. Like traditionally, when somebody made headphones, everybody made headphones. When somebody came out of Voca, everybody mother vodka. So I feel like I'm

doing something totally different, something totally new. It's all black owned, it's all I run the team. It's not like I need somebody else to understand what's going on the sport. NASCAR respects me that in that light. So for me, I just I don't understand why most companies won't see what I'm doing more. You know, I'm trying to say

this respectfully. It's because it's because a lot of those companies the brightest you know what I mean percent, and they got to see what everybody else thinks of something before they jump on one thousand percent. Yeah, and that's the world. And that's the problem with most of society until they see it, like like this man got monster yesterday when watch how many brands jump on his car show. Now you know what I mean, it's just it's just

how it is. It's like they don't nobody wants to jump on board until too call today actually earlier, yeah, which is crazy. Yeah, but nobody wants to jump on boards, so somebody else does. You know. It's just like a girl. They don't want to be with you unless you with a fly girl. It's just it's just, it's just it's crazy. We got bored with John Cohen when we come back, he's the owner of the New York Racing team, and

congratulations to him. They just made the day tuned a five hundred race that happens this week and I had some more when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, John Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kick getting them with John Cohen. He's the owner of a NASCAR team, New York Racing Team that made the

Dairy Tuna five hundred this weekend, so he will be racing. Charlemagne, what do you think a NASCAR can be doing to make, you know, make them more appealing to like black people, brown people, I mean going to in the cities that's that's my whole thing. So me right now, I'm trying to build a truck that I'll bring life our racing LA bring the truck to Compton t skis Stamp and then bring him to the track and show them what they learned in that truck, the quates of what we

have in the track. Because everybody think is just you know, like racing is just jumping in the car and going. It's a lot to it, you know, and you know, it's just it's just so much stuff. Like I see kids that I grew up with, you know that honestly in Jersey, you know, the stolen car thing was big in the nineties. They think they can drive the car and they can't. It's not the same, you know. I tell most people my first burnout I've seen was in the hood one. What I mean, it wasn't It wasn't

at a race track. So you gotta understand the equivalent of going from the streets to driving and racing is totally different. Is NASCAR needs to bring more people of color from the inner city into the tracks and then from there it'll be a big fan base. Well, how do people survive those rets on Nascar? Man, the card is safe. Yeah, I mean they put a lot of time.

I mean I would say those cars are safer than any other Formula one indie because I mean ever since they are hard Senior died, they really put a lot of in because I mean they when that legend dies like that, they change everything and make sure that never happens again. Where do you see the sport of Nascar continue? I see a lot different. I see it where it's going to be more of a electric hybrid type car. So to bring more fan base, I mean if they I mean, if you see how Formal one is on,

they bring more racist into America right now. So at a just equate to us fretting more fans. They just need to make it more sexy. And they did it this weekend at La Colle Seen. It was really sexy. It was a good event. But it's good. You know, did you see a lot of us out there? A lot of black people? Saw a lot of us out there that really I was In fact, I saw some kids I don't even know they had my my hats on really and I was like it kind of took me back, like to see, you know, like black kids

have wearing my hat. I've never seen, you know, I've seen kids that, like in my neighborhood, but not like at the track. I don't even know where they got it from. I don't know they ordered offline, but it was just shocking at me and ship it was like surreal. Yeah, I saw, I saw Jamal and her husband were filming from I guess the sweeter. Yeah, And how many cars do you guys have, because, like he said, if a car gets into an accident, the car crashes, how many

cars are you having? What's the price of those cars? So for us we need seven. We allowed seven cars in our garage. So where's your garage? It'sn't a concording a Carolina, Okay, Yeah, that's what all of NASCAR is. So we allowed seven cars. These cars about four hundred dollars the bills. How much does it cost to advertising on the car, Like if I wanted a little go on the car? How much some teams get one hundred thousand?

My mind is about four fifty race But I mean you look at it, like, so the super Bowl commercials thirty seconds, you know, and they paying seven million dollars right now for the super Bowl. Were out there for thirty six weekends, multiple hours out the weekend. So for four and fifty thousand a racist, it's cheap because we get the same viewership. So it's NASCAR, it's not reasonable.

So when you watch football, you're in that area, you're watching the Eagles, you're watching the Giants, you live in that area. And we watched NASCAR. Everybody's watching one race, so it's almost like equivalent to watching the super Boy each weekend. So that's why the values are that much higher when it comes to NASCAR where it takes for us to race. Now, I'm not into NASCAR right, I'm gonna get more into it now because I want to support you. How do they line up and how do

they set up? Is it is it lined up like everybody next to each other? Is it singular line up? And is it based off ranking? How you qualify on Friday or Saturday and whoever's the fastest on time that's how you line up. And it depends on the track. So some have single fire where you all go around single file. You line up in summers double it'd be like one, two, three four that way. And how nasty does it get a NASCAR? Because I'm sure when I'm watching.

When I do watch some of those races, sometimes they be cutting each other off hard, like like how nasty does it getting? Is there any type of etiquette to driving? It's just like row race on the street. I mean, these guys be friends when they starting. At the end they be fighting. So it's definitely they you know, certain drivers have certain etiquette and they try to you know, get that next driver at leeway. And then some drivers just don't care. Like if I was a driver, I

just wouldn't care. I wouldn't want to be friends. But I mean that's that's the way those guys like to be friends. So yeah, how can people support your race team? Can they donate to your race team? Can they support the race team? Is it just buy clothes or hats? And I mean it gets How can they help because there's a lot of people that's listening to that says, hey, you know, I would love to support a black NASCAR team.

For me, just talk about it, you know, talk to you know, if you know somebody that's you know, talking about it, it just gets out there more. Like you said, once, once people see it, then they you know want to jump on board more. But like people just don't look at as being cool. And that's that's the worst thing, the thing, because it'd be too late. Then you'd be like, oh h, we'll keep pushing, man, keep pushing. Well, we

appreciate you joining us, man, and thank you for stopping through. Okay, listen, I think it's just go without brain. Let sing go to NY Racing team dot com. That's right, well, John Cohen, we appreciate you and make sure you continue to support New York Racing NY Racing and um, we're gonna get you. You coming to the car shows this year, right, yeah, Okay, I mean I wish you guys can see a man. The kids love it. They bring the pit crew out.

And Monique sat down on turned out with t S. Madison. That's her new Fox Soul show. And some of the things she talked about is her history with Tyler Perry and Oprah when free and you know, saying that a lot of people were mad at her. And here's what

she had to say about not hating Oprah. People will ask me, do you dislike well, do you hate Oprah and tylingly? No, let me be clear. I love those people. We love those people. My husband and I love they our brothers and sisters. And as my husband always say, Mama Wayne calling nobody out, We're simply calling them up to say, listen, let's make our community better by making it right. All right? You know that drama all goes back to Tyler Perry and Oprah where executive producers of

Lee Daniel's film precious, which Monique started in. That's where all of their issues started. And she also goes on to talk about Tyler Perry and here's what you had to say. I think Tyler Perry had said that he wanted an apology from Monique. Now when Al Shopton heard the tape, because he heard it, he said that man is wrong and you're like my daughter. So I'm gonna have to call him up. Kevin Hart heard the tape. He said, Moa called him and he said he don't

want to revisit it our mutual friend. When I explained what was really going down, she was like, I'm not with that. Let me call him, and she called him and he said, I don't want to revisit that. Then he called back while we were on the phone and he said, no, I changed my mind. I will meet with Monique, but not with her husband. And then she has to apologize to me and Oprah Winfrey for saying that we had anything to do with run in her career. Now, she goes on to say that when black women speak

up and speak out, it goes unheard most times. Here's what she has to say. Oftentimes when it comes to a black woman speaking up and speaking out. It goes unheard until she dies. Then once she dies, then we go back and say, well she was right, and let's make a movie about it. See, I can give you their names, Earth the kid. I can give you their names,

Hazel Scott. All of those women took a stand, and all of those women left here heartbroken, unhealthy, looking at the community saying, y'all know I'm right, But why won't anybody say anything? Now? She did say she's still in the midst of her lawsuit against Netflix, and so she is still speaking up and standing up unapologetically and fearlessly. I hope one day they all figure it out. Tyler and Monique and Oprah at least get on the same accord.

All right, Well that is your salute the ts Madison too, That was on Tes Madison show, right turned out on Fox Madison. All right, and happy birthday to doctor Dre. Today is doctor Dre's birthday.

the Breakfast Club is Black History Month. So what we're doing well, you know every day during Black History Month, the Black Effect. iHeartRadio podcast Network is dropping a daily podcast called I Didn't Know Maybe you didn't either, hosted by my guy B Dot. And today b Dot tells us where did the term Jim Crow come from? Okay,

find out right now. We're in my neck of the woods, baby, east side of Greensboro, Auntie, right there, downtown, right there, this is where I grew up at Bad Brolcome to Greensboro, North Carolina. I'm familiar with the Jim Crow lass, and I'm familiar with the Jim Crow South, where black people and white people couldn't talk to each other, couldn't eat together, couldn't drink together, couldn't sleeap the gopher, couldn't do nothing. They did used to sneak in some hanky panky time,

bro from time to time. Oh hanky panky, don't dall massive that we're getting the hanky panky I ain now. It all came from that Plusy versus Ferguson case down in Louisiana where they said that black people and white people shouldn't share the same carts, and then all of America said, yo, we agreed, black people and white people should have separate carts. They should be separate but equal, which is the dumbest thing. Ever, however, here we are.

Who I wasn't familiar with is Thomas Price. In the eighteen thirties, Thomas Price, he ran the minstry shows and then those menstru shows. He'd go straight black faces and he would be done with it and dumbfound it and just pay black people. That's the most embasili first, and he could think of. His stage name was Jim Crow. And over the years Jim Crow that came a derogatory term for black folks. Jim Crow is the equivalent to

the word the Jim Crow laws were the laws. Jim Crow always sounded like a name that would own slaves, right, Jim Crow was a derogatory slang term for the derogatory slang term for black folks. And I didn't know, maybe you didn't either. I were happy Black History Month to everybody out there. That's right to make sure you download. I didn't know, maybe you didn't either.
