Speaker 3: This is eighteeneen seventeen season, seventeenth season of the Steve
Speaker 3: Woco Show. So we'll be kicking with him in a
Speaker 3: little bit. And then we got front page news testing
Speaker 3: figure oh be joining us in the second, so let
Speaker 3: get right to the show.
Speaker 2: But we saw it.
Speaker 3: We played Jack Hollow every damn day this morning, but
Speaker 3: today's birthday. We all start off with Jack Hali.
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at it. You're gonna have a great
Speaker 2: birthday regardless.
Speaker 3: It's the breakfast logal morning morning. Everybody is Steve, j
Speaker 3: n V, Jess, Hilarius, Charlamagne the God. We are the
Speaker 3: Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 6: Good morning, Tis, good morning, DJ and V jests Hilary,
Speaker 6: it's Charlemane to God girl.
Speaker 3: Let's jump right into it. Let's jump Well, what's happening
Speaker 3: in Haiti?
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is a real complax story, but it's really
Speaker 6: important that we know what's going on because the US
Speaker 6: is involved and will be sending over more support. So
Speaker 6: the Haiti prime minister has resigned amid escalating violence.
Speaker 8: Take a listen where the prime minister has resigned after
Speaker 8: weeks of chaos in the country.
Speaker 1: Ariel Henri submitted his resignation.
Speaker 8: Monday night, saying he will step down once a transitional
Speaker 8: council is in place.
Speaker 3: My government will leave immediately after the inaugration of the council.
Speaker 3: Will be a caretaker government until they name a prime
Speaker 3: minister and a new cabinet.
Speaker 2: Haiti needs peace, Haiti needs the ability.
Speaker 8: His resignation comes just hours after regional leaders met in
Speaker 8: Jamaica to discuss a framework for a political transition. The
Speaker 8: country plunged into a crisis after powerful gangs carried out
Speaker 8: highly coordinated attacks across the capital port of Prince last month.
Speaker 6: Now, the United States will be contributing three hundred million
Speaker 6: dollars to assist Haiti.
Speaker 1: Once you take a listen to that.
Speaker 9: The United States Department of Defense is doubling it's approved
Speaker 9: support for the mission from one hundred million dollars to
Speaker 9: two hundred million dollars, and that brings the total US
Speaker 9: support to three hundred million dollars for this effort. I'm
Speaker 9: also announcing additionally umanitarian assistance for the people of Haiti
Speaker 9: thirty three million dollars to further support their health and
Speaker 9: food security.
Speaker 6: So you may be saying, well, Ted, what does this
Speaker 6: have to do with the United States, Well, as you
Speaker 6: just heard again more money going over there, So we'll
Speaker 6: add that to the list when we talk about Ukraine,
Speaker 6: when we talk about Gaza, this will certainly we expect
Speaker 6: this to increase and they will need more support in
Speaker 6: the weeks ahead because people are actually struggling with famine.
Speaker 6: And also they put out an alert for Miami for
Speaker 6: border agents to prepare for wave of migration as people
Speaker 6: continue to flood Haiti, and so we expect to see
Speaker 6: more of that in the coming weeks. I expect this
Speaker 6: DJMV to become a conversation as we go through the
Speaker 6: longest presidential election cycle.
Speaker 1: That we've had in history, So get prepared for that.
Speaker 1: I can see Trump speaking on this now.
Speaker 6: Our folks at the US embassy had to flee as
Speaker 6: well yesterday to get them out to make sure they're safe.
Speaker 6: And so the bottom line is, folks look into this
Speaker 6: reading to it. It is a very complex issue. But
Speaker 6: bottom line, gangs have taken over because they're looking for
Speaker 6: free and fair elections, and by the way, they are
Speaker 6: very critical of the US getting involved in picking their
Speaker 6: prime ministers, as well, so two hundred gangs currently run Haiti.
Speaker 6: They control about eighty percent of port the prince. The
Speaker 6: death toll has reached over five thousand so far.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no, I have a couple of Haitian friends.
Speaker 3: And actually the person that actually taught me how to
Speaker 3: DJ clue introduced me. But the person actually taught me
Speaker 3: he's hating. His name is Mona Mono, South Pa Si.
Speaker 3: He was telling me about it and how bad it
Speaker 3: is and his family's out there and his family's trying
Speaker 3: to get over here, and how nasty it is over there.
Speaker 3: But now, let me ask you a question. With all
Speaker 3: this money that's going out, and you mentioned Ukraine, you
Speaker 3: mentioned Gayza, you mentioned Haiti, you know, you're talking one
Speaker 3: hundred to millions of dollars there there billions of dollars.
Speaker 3: And then you know, you see all the stuff that's
Speaker 3: wrong here and all the stuff that we need help,
Speaker 3: and it just seems a little crazy that we can
Speaker 3: print the money and find the money for everybody else
Speaker 3: but home. It seems strange when you talk about it
Speaker 3: and you're driving seeing so many people homeless, and you're
Speaker 3: seeing so many people here can't afford food, and you
Speaker 3: talk about all these students that can't pay for college loans,
Speaker 3: and we're talking about free college and free healthcare. It
Speaker 3: seems like a lot.
Speaker 6: Well that's why I think this conversation is going to
Speaker 6: continue to bubble up. You know, as people are talking about,
Speaker 6: you know, how they want to move politically, and although
Speaker 6: you know, we know this money comes from two different buckets,
Speaker 6: your point is when it's time to assist other nations
Speaker 6: in the United States seems to figure it out, and
Speaker 6: so you're saying, you know, why is it we can't
Speaker 6: figure it, And the argument is always said, well, this
Speaker 6: comes out a different bucket. This doesn't have anything to
Speaker 6: do with it. You know, there's programs for all the
Speaker 6: things that DJ and you mentioned, which yes, we know that.
Speaker 6: But again to Charlemagne point what he's always putting out there,
Speaker 6: people are looking at what they see in front of them. Know,
Speaker 6: they're not looking at this bucket that bucket. This bottom
Speaker 6: line is I'm not getting the support I need. How
Speaker 6: is this money going to these other foreign countries, which
Speaker 6: of course we do support that we want to support
Speaker 6: our Haitian brothers and sisters, we do.
Speaker 1: But people are looking.
Speaker 6: At what is happening in my daily life, what is
Speaker 6: happening in violence in our own cities?
Speaker 1: Rest in peace. My baby cousin will be buried tomorrow.
Speaker 1: She was shot and.
Speaker 6: Killed in Oklahoma City last week. So when you look
Speaker 6: at violence and how we deal with our own and
Speaker 6: what's happening to curb our own violence, these are the
Speaker 6: things that people look at, and so it hits home.
Speaker 6: Politics is a matter of the heart as many. As
Speaker 6: much as people want to say it's not emotional, it is.
Speaker 6: And so people say, what about you know, what's going
Speaker 6: on in my own backyard, Charlemagne? You got thoughts on that?
Speaker 2: No, we actually got it right, right, Okay?
Speaker 3: And what are we talking? Next hour?
Speaker 4: Test?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're talking next hour.
Speaker 6: Want to bring to your attention obviously no surprise of
Speaker 6: President Biden and Donald Trump has clinch their nomination. And
Speaker 6: I want people hip hop take a listen to this.
Speaker 6: They're pushing for better wages on your streaming music. So
Speaker 6: we're going to talk about what policy has been introduced
Speaker 6: to that so you get more money for your.
Speaker 3: Streaming All right, nice? Everybody else, get it off your chest.
Speaker 3: Eight hundred five eight five one five one. If you
Speaker 3: need to vent phone lines of wide open again eight
Speaker 3: hundred five eight five one oh five one. If there's
Speaker 3: something on your chest, something on your mind, call us
Speaker 3: up right now. Is the breakfast club? Good morning, the
Speaker 3: breakfast Club. It's a is it your time to get
Speaker 3: it off your chest, whether you're.
Speaker 1: Mad or black, time to get up and get something.
Speaker 4: Call up now. Eight hundred and five eight five one
Speaker 4: five one. We want to hear from you on the
Speaker 4: breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Who's this?
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, This is Gabby, Hey, Gabby, good morning.
Speaker 3: Get it off your chest?
Speaker 1: Good morning, hey.
Speaker 5: Man, how are you guys doing. I've been listening to
Speaker 5: your breakfast slut for a while now and pretend to
Speaker 5: what's going on in Haiti. I'm just wondering. America is
Speaker 5: of the world. We're the free lead of the world
Speaker 5: really by example, and we were here to protect the Constitution.
Speaker 5: We have to protect the people of America. We have
Speaker 5: to protect the world our allies now with what's going
Speaker 5: on in Haiti. To me, it's priority of when we
Speaker 5: when we're thinking about the dead tolls within Bagaga, Ukraine,
Speaker 5: those things. Now, what's going on in our own backyards.
Speaker 5: We don't wake up every day to bombs. We don't
Speaker 5: wake up every day to people dying.
Speaker 2: We do.
Speaker 5: I know, we have a lot going on here, and
Speaker 5: we have systems and things in place to take care.
Speaker 4: Of our people.
Speaker 5: Why is it that every time something's going on outside,
Speaker 5: were having this conversation to make it seem like we
Speaker 5: we're not protecting our people, but we're just fundling money
Speaker 5: out outside the country. I mean, when we have pensions,
Speaker 5: I think that everyone else.
Speaker 2: I think that's obvious, my brother, Like, I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know what bubble you living that you can't see
Speaker 2: that people out here suffering. Like there's so many homeless
Speaker 2: people out here, and people who can't keep food on
Speaker 2: their table, can't keep rustle.
Speaker 10: Delegate nominations have half a president Biden don't even have
Speaker 10: the nineteen hundred and sixty.
Speaker 5: That's that's fact. So we gotta understand.
Speaker 2: So you guys, so you should.
Speaker 5: I don't understand. I don't understand. We all, we all
Speaker 5: human beings, we all we all want people. We have
Speaker 5: to we have to speak as such, and we have
Speaker 5: to take care of each other. If Americas is taking
Speaker 5: care of its people the best they can do, in
Speaker 5: China also be a leader of the world.
Speaker 2: But that's that's the point, America is not taking care
Speaker 2: of his people the best they can do. We we
Speaker 2: all feel like America could do better. So what's the problem.
Speaker 5: Money that's going into the month, of money that's going
Speaker 5: into our communities. You're saying, we're still not being protected.
Speaker 5: How we how are we spending that money? It goes
Speaker 5: back to how we're spending how our congressmen are spending
Speaker 5: the money in our community.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the point. So yes, we have every right
Speaker 2: to raise hell about that. We have every right to say, hey,
Speaker 2: how do y'all have money for this but don't have
Speaker 2: money for that? There's nothing wrong with that conversation exactly.
Speaker 5: And just like you said that, we have different people
Speaker 5: live in this country, who's also contributing to that, who's
Speaker 5: also paying these taxes, who's also expecting help one of
Speaker 5: them when they.
Speaker 2: Pay a lot of money in taxes. That's way another
Speaker 2: reason I'm gonna keep running my mouth.
Speaker 5: I understanding, man, But it's something that we all should
Speaker 5: think to look at it, look at the bigger picture,
Speaker 5: not just one sided.
Speaker 2: I think we even want to hear. I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: honest with you, my brother, you sound very one side
Speaker 2: this morning. You said that you're not looking at the
Speaker 2: bigger picture at all.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at a bigger picture, right, yes.
Speaker 2: Sir, Like, think about what I just told you. Nearly
Speaker 2: half of South Carolina residents struggle to afford basic necessities, and.
Speaker 1: He told you look at the bigger picture over that.
Speaker 3: And I'm not mad at helping any other country. I mean,
Speaker 3: if people need help, I mean absolutely positively. But I
Speaker 3: just I just feel like we always say they don't
Speaker 3: they don't have the budget for here, or they can't
Speaker 3: find the resources or the money, and then it seems
Speaker 3: like they're so quick to get these and not just
Speaker 3: ten million school hundreds of millions of dollars and continue
Speaker 3: to send to other nations schools.
Speaker 2: In our communities. People don't have affordable health care like
Speaker 2: they should. Like, it's a million different issues that are
Speaker 2: happening right here in America. People are homeless. And I'm
Speaker 2: not saying that you don't, like, yes, go help other people,
Speaker 2: But you cannot wonder why people sometimes look at that
Speaker 2: and say, well what about us?
Speaker 3: Right right, come on, get it off your chest. Eight
Speaker 3: hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
Speaker 3: need to vent phone lines wide open, it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: One morning, the breakfast club, this is your time to
Speaker 3: get it off your chest. Eight hundred and five eight
Speaker 3: five one o five one. We want to hear from
Speaker 3: you on the breakfast club.

Speaker 7: for no reason, like like more like even just can
Speaker 7: you help fix the mess that the black women and
Speaker 7: customer service?
Speaker 6: You are so right, I need to be doing that more,
Speaker 6: you know, because they're going through something too. But they
Speaker 6: also need to think about the job that they have
Speaker 6: to do, because you know, there's nothing wrong with being
Speaker 6: nice to somebody.
Speaker 1: You know, you know it's not too hard being nice.
Speaker 1: So I get you.
Speaker 7: It don't take much, Charlie Man, I will tell you
Speaker 7: that that's that's the way to get me off the couch.
Speaker 7: If President Biden or or Trump can help find a
Speaker 7: way to fix the black women.
Speaker 2: To come home, list it. Everybody got their own issue interest.

Speaker 4: Just is gonna bring numbers.
Speaker 2: On the Breakfast Club. She watched the news last night, y'all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't need no disclaimer. Listen.
Speaker 6: So rare solo eclipse is coming. So solar eclipse will
Speaker 6: be happening in April eighth, and people did not.
Speaker 1: Enough people was talking about this.
Speaker 6: Everybody talking about you know, Trump body and all that,
Speaker 6: and the sofa and mint mail.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Meek, Mel Diddy, all these people.
Speaker 6: But the sol eclipse is very very interesting, and I
Speaker 6: have a report from They need to say, oh yeah,
Speaker 6: Fox nine go ahead.
Speaker 1: Playoffs next month.
Speaker 3: People across the United States are in for a special treat.
Speaker 3: A solar eclipse will be visible across much of the
Speaker 3: country for fifteen states.
Speaker 12: That means the moon will completely cover the sun, briefly
Speaker 12: turning day into night, and there will not be another
Speaker 12: one now until twenty forty four.
Speaker 6: Now, when people like when this's happened in the past,
Speaker 6: it literally happens for like seconds or half a second
Speaker 6: or whatever, like I remember the last one that happened.
Speaker 6: I was like I was very very young, and it's
Speaker 6: just like what happens within the blank of venot. But
Speaker 6: this one is supposed to be from one minute to
Speaker 6: four minutes and thirty two seconds in some states. Now
Speaker 6: it's the path of totality is wide and usual, which
Speaker 6: means Americans will be able to experience the solar eclipse.
Speaker 6: It's is also crazy. I'm not gonna tell y'all. I'm
Speaker 6: not going to give y'all the the Wikipedia one.
Speaker 2: This is this four minutes is a long time.
Speaker 3: It is a long time.
Speaker 2: Everybody needs to tap into some solar eclipse rituals to
Speaker 2: manifest your intentions because new moons symbolized new beginnings, and
Speaker 2: solar eclipses give you an extra boost for transformation in
Speaker 2: our lives.
Speaker 1: Will make that happen, all right, So that's that's the
Speaker 1: good part about it.
Speaker 6: But the governments of certain states have been advising their
Speaker 6: residents to prepare with emergency prep like it's people with
Speaker 6: their closing down schools and they're scared that it'll be
Speaker 6: a lot of tourist flocks, like people flying away to
Speaker 6: see this, like I, you know, are getting closer to
Speaker 6: see it now. The path of totality will cover some
Speaker 6: parts of Mexico and some parts of Canada.
Speaker 1: Also listen up.
Speaker 6: This is the fifteen states here Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: New York, New York, New York, York, y'allk.
Speaker 6: Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Speaker 6: and Maine and listen. Delta is also offering flights going
Speaker 6: up close experience of the total eclipse thirty thousand feet
Speaker 6: in the air from Austin, Texas to Detroit.
Speaker 2: I thought you're not supposed to look at it, though.
Speaker 6: That's exactly They must have them glasses that if you
Speaker 6: plan to look at the sole eclipse, you encourage to
Speaker 6: wear eclipse glasses.
Speaker 13: Yah.
Speaker 1: I'm sorrys messy visions. We dropped the ball on this.
Speaker 6: We do not have eclipse glasses, but I'm pretty sure
Speaker 6: you can find them anywhere. Do not look directly at it,
Speaker 6: because something will happen to you.
Speaker 2: We can still sell eclipse glasses. All we gotta do
Speaker 2: is give us a bunch of three D glasses. I
Speaker 2: don't just tell people for the eclipse.
Speaker 1: You're purposely trying to hurt people out there.
Speaker 3: You don't hurt people's eyes, but you tell.
Speaker 2: Them don't look it, don't look directly into it. Just
Speaker 2: put them off.
Speaker 1: And then you know, these Americans going to do exactly
Speaker 1: what you say, don't do.
Speaker 3: But that's why they want to close the schools. That's
Speaker 3: what they're thinking about closing some of the schools because
Speaker 3: they were like, the students will be looking at the sky,
Speaker 3: but if you keep them home, hopefully they're stay in
Speaker 3: the house.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's spooky enough that it's gonna be in
Speaker 2: the middle of the day and it's just gonna go.
Speaker 3: Be four minutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, lose it anyway.
Speaker 6: So I don't know, I'm gonna be our plan to
Speaker 6: be in Baltimore that day because it's not gonna do
Speaker 6: that in Maryland.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 6: Maryland wasn't one of the fifteen states, but New York is.
Speaker 6: They gonna lose their mind less than what you understand.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, y'all. Y'all, Okay, listen, now this is the
Speaker 1: headline that I'm I'm that I thought of.
Speaker 3: Y'all.
Speaker 1: Can't take nothing serious, but for real, yo, going on
Speaker 1: in the Kingdom, the Royal Kingdom.
Speaker 6: Y'all, So I talked to some friends over I got
Speaker 6: some connects in the UK and listen, come on, listen, listen.
Speaker 6: Kate Middleton, Prince William's wife, right, she had abdominal surgery
Speaker 6: on January. Yes, she did surgery, all right, so that's why.
Speaker 6: And the last time people have seen her was in
Speaker 6: uh December. Now, granted it was reported that she wouldn't
Speaker 6: return to our royal duties until Eastern right, because of
Speaker 6: her recovery or whatever. But people are realizing that she
Speaker 6: hasn't been seen since December.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 6: There are stories that she left the hospital with Prince
Speaker 6: William the same day as a procedure. But but the
Speaker 6: photos only show Prince William leaving and wea ain't see
Speaker 6: her nothing right now. This seems innocent, but this actually
Speaker 6: is interesting because people online are starting a piece of
Speaker 6: story together that Kate Middleton is either missing or in
Speaker 6: a bad condition following the surgery. Oh, I don't need
Speaker 6: the sound effects.
Speaker 1: Look now. Sunday in the UK it was Mother's Day.
Speaker 6: It's different over here, but over there it's Mother's Day
Speaker 6: right right, And the photo was released of Kate and
Speaker 6: her three children. Major media publications initially shared the photo,
Speaker 6: but they all started to remove them with the explanation
Speaker 6: that they can't be shared because it was obviously altered.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 6: Photoshop experts determined that they were sixteen editing errors in
Speaker 6: the picture, so people, you know, you know how people
Speaker 6: on social media is they see the walls moving and
Speaker 6: all that type of stuff. Right shortly after that, Kate
Speaker 6: tweeted an apology Kate herself from her account, allegedly yeah,
Speaker 6: I do that. And there she tweeted and apology, claiming
Speaker 6: that she occasionally experiments with editing, and she said, like
Speaker 6: any other photographer.
Speaker 1: Editing, I'm like, girl, where's you at?
Speaker 6: Like you're not letting us know what's going on or nothing,
Speaker 6: But you're gonna take the social media to be like
Speaker 6: I be.
Speaker 1: You know, I be editing a little bit, girl.
Speaker 2: Please. That's her way of letting people know she's all right.
Speaker 6: M mmmm, I don't know, but listen, this is also
Speaker 6: crazy too, because a man close to Kate's family committed suicide.
Speaker 6: More more, more in depth, her sister's madness wasn't her husband,
Speaker 6: This is just her, like somebody her sister was dealing with,
Speaker 6: you know, her boyfriend and he committed suicide out of nowhere.
Speaker 6: Prince William went to the frienderal, but she didn't Kate,
Speaker 6: she didn't show up, and that's her sister, all right.
Speaker 6: People are speculating that because of these things, there's a
Speaker 6: deeper story to Kate's Mother's Day photo being you know,
Speaker 6: being photoshopped. And then it was also they also put
Speaker 6: out a photo where she was leaving a castle. But
Speaker 6: you can tell even by the bricks, the bricks, it
Speaker 6: wasn't like.
Speaker 2: It wasn't no, no, it wasn't given.
Speaker 1: It was not given.
Speaker 6: She really walked about that castle, all right. And it's
Speaker 6: also roomed that King Chaws has cancer and it's opting
Speaker 6: to treated.
Speaker 2: Naturally holistic doctor Sebby.
Speaker 1: I can't daan't say that. It's ain't I ain't next
Speaker 1: to my UK friends all that now.
Speaker 6: It's also reported that the Queen left two letters behind
Speaker 6: right before she died, one for her top eight and
Speaker 6: one for her son, with instructions that it shouldn't be
Speaker 6: open until twenty eighty five.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to be on the radio twenty eighty five.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on with the royal family right now.
Speaker 6: We don't know how many of these stories are actually true,
Speaker 6: but we do know that this is a pr nightmare
Speaker 6: for the royal family.
Speaker 2: That was just with the UK mess.
Speaker 3: This is yeah, can we drop a bond?
Speaker 2: I don't know if any of her UK news, Oh
Speaker 2: my god, but I did see I did see that
Speaker 2: picture on MSNBC.
Speaker 6: I bet you go back and it ain't on any
Speaker 6: no more because they can't be doing stuff like that
Speaker 6: because it's been altered, honestly. But I'm just the moral
Speaker 6: of the story is even from the grave, the queen
Speaker 6: still she still got something going on. All right, Okay,
Speaker 6: I'm telling you I unfinished business the UK edition.
Speaker 1: It's like a bunch of stuff going on in the Kingdom.

Speaker 1: We get updates from over there.
Speaker 2: That's from her UK connects.
Speaker 3: Yes, her you.

Speaker 3: news and then Steve will Coast will be joining us.

Speaker 6: Yes, thank you so much. Has been an honor to

Speaker 6: Hall of Fame show to give a little bit of.
Speaker 2: News you can use.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you so much.
Speaker 6: Charlemagne, dj m VY Eddie, the whole staff and just hilarious.
Speaker 1: My baby, thank you.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: Well, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about your
Speaker 3: your presidents.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, dj mv's presidents have finally decided to clinch denomination.
Speaker 1: Is official.
Speaker 6: This is no breaking newsbviously we know they were going
Speaker 6: to get the nomination. But let's take a listen. This
Speaker 6: is the first President Your rematch in seventy years.
Speaker 1: Take a listen.
Speaker 10: The Biden Trump rematch is officially here. After both candidates
Speaker 10: secured the delegates needed to earn their party's nomination for president.
Speaker 10: President Biden secured the nineteen hundred and sixty eight delegates
Speaker 10: needed to win the Democratic nomination. Mister Trump easily won
Speaker 10: the twelve hundred and fifteen delegates to lock up the
Speaker 10: GOP nomination. In Georgia, the president won more than ninety
Speaker 10: five percent of the vote. The former president got more
Speaker 10: than eighty percent, mister Biden and Trump also handily won
Speaker 10: in Mississippi and Washington.
Speaker 1: So again, no surprise. You know, this is what it is, guys.
Speaker 6: So folks are still having conversations about a third party
Speaker 6: candidate who's too old?
Speaker 9: Who?
Speaker 6: See now who? This is the bottom line, This is
Speaker 6: what it is. It will be Trump versus Biden, period.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the rematch nobody wants. But the rematch we're gonna get.
Speaker 2: And I don't I know, I've been thinking about it.
Speaker 2: I don't know how Trump fails in the general election.
Speaker 2: But then again, I don't know how Biden fairs in
Speaker 2: the general election either. So it's really a toss up.
Speaker 2: And I'll never get over the fact that a man
Speaker 2: with ninety one criminal charges is able to run for
Speaker 2: president of the United States of America. Never never, never
Speaker 2: doubt yourself. Kids, there's nothing you can't accomplish.
Speaker 1: Charged ninety one times.
Speaker 2: But now, if you're black, I just want to put
Speaker 2: that out there, give me that.
Speaker 6: And this is going to be a very very long election,
Speaker 6: you know, because it started so early. You know, normally
Speaker 6: the general election is you know, after the conventions in
Speaker 6: the summer and then you get all the back and forth.
Speaker 6: But because you know, they've clinched it so early and
Speaker 6: we already noticed is what it is. And there's no
Speaker 6: you know, could it possibly change or any of you know,
Speaker 6: any event. This is going to be a very, very
Speaker 6: very long election season.
Speaker 2: So Donald Trump campaigning for four years, if you think about.
Speaker 1: It, you know, absolutely absolutely, And these.
Speaker 2: Media networks don't want to admit it, but Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is great for ratings. So when you say it's going
Speaker 2: to be a long campaign, there's been a long campaign
Speaker 2: since twenty sixteen. Trump has not stopped campaign since two
Speaker 2: Divan and sixteen.
Speaker 1: Very true.
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about you said streamers can make some
Speaker 3: more money on their music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a really good Yeah, that's a really
Speaker 1: good thing.
Speaker 6: So Congressional Representative Rashida to Leib and Congressman and Jamal Bowman,
Speaker 6: they introduced the Proposed Living Ways for Musicians Act. It's
Speaker 6: aimed at increasing streaming royalties for musicians online. These are
Speaker 6: the type of things that happen in Congress that you
Speaker 6: don't hear much about.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 6: This act will create new stream and royalty with the
Speaker 6: aim to compensate artists and musicians more fairly at a
Speaker 6: penny per stream when their music plays on streaming services.
Speaker 6: Now the streaming has grown to represent eighty four percent
Speaker 6: of recorded music industry revenue. I'm sure you know you
Speaker 6: guys come here, especially you Djamy. Back in the day,
Speaker 6: you actually had to buy records and people got, you know,
Speaker 6: more for their music. But now everything's about streaming. So
Speaker 6: Spotify the leading music streaming platform. A lot of folks
Speaker 6: may not know. They only pay an average per stream
Speaker 6: three zero I don't even know if if that's three sents,
Speaker 6: because it says zero points zero zero three, meaning an
Speaker 6: artists must reach at least eight hundred thousand streams just
Speaker 6: to equal a full time job at fifteen dollars an hour.
Speaker 1: Ham isn't that crazy.
Speaker 6: So this new royalty will be paid in addition to
Speaker 6: existing royalties, ensuring that the artists receive at least one
Speaker 6: cent per stream. So this is even less than one
Speaker 6: one cent with an eventual cap. And so this is
Speaker 6: one of the great things that Jamal Bowman is doing
Speaker 6: as he leads this Congressional Hip Hop Task Force and
Speaker 6: Justice Task Force that he's doing, which will cover many
Speaker 6: other things.
Speaker 1: You'll hear that in weeks to come. But this is
Speaker 1: one of the things that they're pushing.
Speaker 6: And I think this is really, you know, critically important,
Speaker 6: so people can make money off off their strings.
Speaker 3: What you guys think, I mean, I think it's great.
Speaker 3: Anything that these artists and creators can make more money
Speaker 3: off of their content, I think it's I think it's amazing.
Speaker 3: I think it's while that you know, you're talking about
Speaker 3: an artist can make point zero zero three with one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand streams seems insane, that's horrible, seems But anything
Speaker 3: that that helped these artists make more money, I'm with.
Speaker 1: And I came out with you songs and I only
Speaker 1: probably like thirteen streams, So what is that.
Speaker 2: I owe money?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 2: Damn?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 6: So, you know, as so I guess artists, you know,
Speaker 6: they have to continue to make their money on the road.
Speaker 6: They have to continue to you know, basically on the
Speaker 6: road because you just don't make any money up what's
Speaker 6: the motivation of making the music if you make zero money?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 6: So this is this is something that I think hip
Speaker 6: hop or not just hip hop, R and B anybody
Speaker 6: that streams anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well most artists to tell you, they don't
Speaker 3: really make money off of selling records. They make money
Speaker 3: off the road, off to merch and off for other things,
Speaker 3: but they rarely make money off of actually selling records.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 1: But like back in the day, wasn't it you made
Speaker 1: money off CDs?
Speaker 3: Well, you made money depending on how many records records
Speaker 3: you sold. And a lot of artists back then really
Speaker 3: didn't make money. Their whole thing was always touring and shows.
Speaker 1: And I know Mery J.
Speaker 6: Blige she said she sold like seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: thousand weeks like her first.
Speaker 3: Week, first week up.
Speaker 6: That is good, Like that is amazing anybody doing that
Speaker 6: with the streams, that is so that's so crazy.
Speaker 2: She need the money though, thinking about somebody TLC sold
Speaker 2: what ten million records only ended up with fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Like the moil of the story is the
Speaker 2: record the record industry been predatory towards artists.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's just really all the boils down to. All right,
Speaker 3: Well that is front Page News. Take your test.

Speaker 3: He was the security guard that used to be on
Speaker 3: the Jerry Springer Show. This is his seventeenth season, seventeen,
Speaker 3: and we're gonna chop it up when we come back.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4: Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Warning everybody your Steen j NVD, Jess hilarious, charlamage the guy.
Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
Speaker 3: in the building. Yes, indeed, his seventeenth season on a
Speaker 3: Ladies and Gentlemen, Steve Wolcals, Welcome back again.
Speaker 2: How are you great?
Speaker 1: They celebrating your thirtieth a year in television. Like on television.
Speaker 6: I know you started as Jerry Springer's bodyguard and actually
Speaker 6: the producer on the Jerry Springer Show.
Speaker 1: Right, no, no, no credits on a couple of episodes.
Speaker 13: Well my show, I'm an executive producer.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, but that's I don't produce.
Speaker 13: That's just you know, they give you the title because
Speaker 13: if my show ever won an Emmy, if I was
Speaker 13: an executive producer. I want to get an Emmy, that's
Speaker 13: why they do it. So I have nothing to do
Speaker 13: with the producing of the show. But I started on
Speaker 13: the Spring Show. I was a chicle cop.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 13: They just hired some cops to do security and I
Speaker 13: happened to be one of them, and thirty years later,
Speaker 13: I'm still here.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you ever expect your career to end up like No,
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 13: Going to be policeman, Like my dad was a Chicago
Speaker 13: policeman for thirty years and he retired, and that's what
Speaker 13: I was going to do, you know, just be a cop,
Speaker 13: get my pension, and retire. But I kind of like
Speaker 13: the way it worked out. So you're retired on job.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 13: I had twelve years, and I could have got a pincher,
Speaker 13: but I pulled it and twelve years was long enough.
Speaker 3: Actually, did you have to really contemplate, like do I
Speaker 3: leave this where I could go or do I wait
Speaker 3: twelve years I get my pension. It was good for
Speaker 3: the rest of my life.
Speaker 13: It was difficult because you know, when I left, I
Speaker 13: had no idea. I left in two thousand and one
Speaker 13: and I got my show in two thousand and seven,
Speaker 13: so I never knew I was going to get my
Speaker 13: own TV show. I mean, that was crazy even to think.
Speaker 13: But my wife, who's my executive producer, and she became
Speaker 13: the execut producer Jerry Springer. I actually came home one
Speaker 13: night and I was covered in blood in my police uniform,
Speaker 13: and she goes, this is crazy, man. You need to
Speaker 13: you know, and she said, listen, when the Springer Show's over,
Speaker 13: we're not staying work living on your policeman cellar. She goes,
Speaker 13: I'm a TV producer. We're going to go to LA
Speaker 13: or New York and I'm going to be a TV producer.
Speaker 13: You'll find something to do. And I said yeah. And
Speaker 13: at that point I was kind of burnt out in
Speaker 13: a policeman, you know. I was tired of fighting and
Speaker 13: everything and getting hurt. So I was like, okay, I'm
Speaker 13: okay with that.
Speaker 2: The second longest running syndicated daytime talk show in current production, geez.
Speaker 13: And I wish all those people that laughed in my
Speaker 13: face in LA when I did the media turd like
Speaker 13: they were just dogging me. Man, like Jerry Springer's guy,
Speaker 13: he's not gonna last thirteen weeks, because back then it
Speaker 13: was thirteen weeks pickups and they're like, you're not gonna
Speaker 13: last thirteen weeks and I'm like, okay, we'll see. And
Speaker 13: you know, thirty years in TV straight, we'll never missing
Speaker 13: a paycheck is unheard of.
Speaker 2: So what's the key to the success? Though a tooth
Speaker 2: question is a two folk question. What's the key to success?
Speaker 2: And what did you learn learn from Jerry? Because he
Speaker 2: had a long Yeah.
Speaker 13: Well, you know, I I and I'm not trying to
Speaker 13: sound like, you know, like I didn't learn anything from Joy,
Speaker 13: but there was nothing to learn from Jerry's show because
Speaker 13: we do a completely different show, right what, There's a
Speaker 13: lot of things I learned from Jerry, like being professional,
Speaker 13: showing up on time, being always ready, and he said, hey, man,
Speaker 13: when you go, don't try to be like me or
Speaker 13: the show. Just do your own thing and you'll be fine.
Speaker 13: The really secret of my success is my wife. And
Speaker 13: I say that and I'm you know, I'm not just
Speaker 13: a husband saying about his wife. You know, if it
Speaker 13: wasn't for my wife, I wouldn't be sitting here right now.
Speaker 13: And that's the truth, because you know, I had my
Speaker 13: problems about six years ago. I d y and you
Speaker 13: know all that, like she stuck with me through that
Speaker 13: pulled me out of it. You know, I was going
Speaker 13: through things and and but even like she knows how
Speaker 13: to produce me on my show, she knows how to
Speaker 13: do a lot of things. She kept the Springer Show
Speaker 13: on the air for a lot of airs. So I
Speaker 13: got the best executive producer on TV.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 13: So truthfully, and she and she knows me, she lets
Speaker 13: me be me. The first two years of my show
Speaker 13: were terrible. I was produced in a way that was
Speaker 13: just I hated doing the show. I literally hate it
Speaker 13: coming to work. And that person left and my wife
Speaker 13: took over, and thank god. Yeah I wouldn't I definitely
Speaker 13: would not be on air.
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever have like any fallouts about you
Speaker 1: not want you know?
Speaker 2: Of course? Yeah?
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 13: There was like she would do shows especially there was
Speaker 13: shows like with kids and stuff, you know, and I
Speaker 13: hated doing those.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 13: I don't like it. I feel like I can't relate
Speaker 13: the kids.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 13: But my wife, I just do it. You know, they
Speaker 13: would work and she was right, So like at this
Speaker 13: stage my career, I just even if I don't like it.
Speaker 13: I just keep my mouth shut. I just do it, yeah,
Speaker 13: because I'm like, it'll be over in twenty minutes and
Speaker 13: white complain.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, last week you reported the Steve Vocals was in
Speaker 3: the just with the Mess right Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you had taken to social media because you watched
Speaker 6: the Wendy Williams Oh yeah, yeah yeah, and you were
Speaker 6: actually the first celebrity that spoke up besides myself, spoke up,
Speaker 6: you know, in favor of her about you know, her
Speaker 6: treatment and how they made her look on the documentary.
Speaker 1: Like and I just you know, wanted to know in person, you.
Speaker 13: Know, well you know me and when like when I
Speaker 13: was launched, I was I did one of these radio shows.
Speaker 13: She was so nice to me. Yeah, and uh, and
Speaker 13: then she launched right after me, I think the year
Speaker 13: after me. And so I would always appear on a
Speaker 13: show and I had a personal relationship with one day.
Speaker 13: I mean I went to her fiftieth birthday party and
Speaker 13: things like that, and you know, I saw her, and
Speaker 13: I I really liked Wendy. I I don't watch daytime
Speaker 13: talk show, but I would watch her show. I thought
Speaker 13: it was really good. I was interested in it, and
Speaker 13: I'd like the topic segment and all that I really
Speaker 13: cared about Wendy, you know, so then to show her
Speaker 13: in this, you know, and we were where was I
Speaker 13: I was, I was in Florida, and we're flipping to
Speaker 13: him and my wife from the hotel.
Speaker 2: And I start watching, I'm like, oh my god, this
Speaker 2: is terrible.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 13: I think like when when I was going through my
Speaker 13: struggles and you know, at my lowest, if there was
Speaker 13: a camera in my house filming me, like no, but
Speaker 13: my wife would never allow that to happen to me.
Speaker 13: You know, she'd be like, no, they We're never doing
Speaker 13: anything like that. And so it's just because you know,
Speaker 13: especially as a woman, right what woman wants to see
Speaker 13: her wigged him like ye taking off and showing in
Speaker 13: that light or there showing her feet. She's got that
Speaker 13: some kind of problem with her feet, and you know,
Speaker 13: come on, man, if she was in the right state mind,
Speaker 13: she would never let anybody see you do it. And
Speaker 13: she's obviously suffering from alcohol, you know, being alcohol or
Speaker 13: drinking problem. And you know, when you're going through something
Speaker 13: like that, I don't think you should be on camera.
Speaker 13: And that managers like, oh, we have to do a
Speaker 13: podcast at any and she's she's ready, like she's not
Speaker 13: ready to do anything, man, come on, you know, and
Speaker 13: she should be in a treatment facility somewhere, getting medical
Speaker 13: attention from doctors and everything else. And it just to
Speaker 13: me it was really exploitative. Yeah, you know, people are
Speaker 13: blashing back at me like, well, you know, when you
Speaker 13: talk a crip about her TV show, I go, she's
Speaker 13: not showing anybody in their deepest and filming them, Like,
Speaker 13: what are you talking about? You know, it's a TV show.
Speaker 13: You know, It's so crazy to me how people can
Speaker 13: cheer the downfall of another human being. Was the last
Speaker 13: time you spoke, Well, I think I was on her show. Well,
Speaker 13: I hosted her show with Jerry when she was on
Speaker 13: the break, and I spoke to her just before that,
Speaker 13: and you know, she was struggling at that time, and
Speaker 13: I told her, I said, hey, listen, anytime you want
Speaker 13: to talk to me, because I've been through it and
Speaker 13: she knew it. We talked about it off stage the
Speaker 13: last time I appeared on the show with her. So
Speaker 13: you know, it's just tough.
Speaker 3: And how did you get through because you said you
Speaker 3: had a DUI, how did you get through your troubles
Speaker 3: during that time.
Speaker 13: I you know, listen, I was drinking too much and
Speaker 13: it was a stress was it stress? Depression? Anxiety? I
Speaker 13: was using alcohol to help with depression, which is probably
Speaker 13: the last thing in the world you should do.
Speaker 2: You can afford to drive, Steve, I could it's listen.
Speaker 13: I make no excuse. I can't tell you why I
Speaker 13: drove that day or what made me get in my
Speaker 13: car and get in it. I'm absolutely wrong, And I knew,
Speaker 13: like my life could have changed a lot worse that
Speaker 13: day other than just gonna do. I could have killed somebody,
Speaker 13: or you could have killed myself. And I just said,
Speaker 13: I'm not drinking anymore. Now a lot of people can't
Speaker 13: do that, just say I'm not going to drink anymore.
Speaker 13: But I knew it was becoming a problem in my
Speaker 13: life and I was going to ruin everything in my life,
Speaker 13: my family, my career, and I just said, Okay, you know,
Speaker 13: I'm not twenty years old anymore. I got to take
Speaker 13: this serious and stop, and I did.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: You haven't drink since.
Speaker 13: Since two thousand and eight. Team was last time I drank?
Speaker 13: What did happen it in my town? There?
Speaker 2: And what I'm saying they didn't give you no Steve
Speaker 2: Willco celebrity.
Speaker 13: Privilege like well, when you're involved in an accident like
Speaker 13: I was, and they had taken me to the hospital,
Speaker 13: they had to draw my blood, so there was no
Speaker 13: taking care of me, you know, And truthfully, listen, nobody
Speaker 13: wants to day right, nobody wants and especially when you're
Speaker 13: in our position, you know, it's on TMZ and you
Speaker 13: get blown up. But truthfully, it was probably the best
Speaker 13: thing for me because it made me. And listen, now
Speaker 13: that I don't drink anymore, I'm very productive. I work
Speaker 13: out all the time. My marriage is great, my career
Speaker 13: is great, and you know, alcohol was really negatively impacting
Speaker 13: all those aspects of my life. And I was asked
Speaker 13: about it. I mean, like, you know, I wanted to
Speaker 13: fight it so bad because I started drinking when I
Speaker 13: was fourteen years old, and you know, to give up
Speaker 13: a lifetime habit like that, it's not easy. But I knew.
Speaker 13: And now when I look back, I go, why in
Speaker 13: the world did I ever drink? Like you know, but
Speaker 13: a lot of people do it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fun exactly, It is.
Speaker 3: The best time.
Speaker 2: What it's fine.
Speaker 13: The best times of my life were drink food off.
Speaker 3: All right, we got more with Steve will Coos when
Speaker 3: we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 3: Good Morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Jesse, Larry Charlamage,
Speaker 3: the guy we are The Breakfast Club were still kicking
Speaker 3: it with Steve will Coles from the Steve Will Go Show.
Speaker 2: What do you say to people? Because when you think
Speaker 2: about Wendy Williams and how they showed her situation on television,
Speaker 2: but you know, God bless the dead, Jerry's bringer, like
Speaker 2: people didn't even know he had cancer. So what do
Speaker 2: you say to people who feel like celebrities have an
Speaker 2: obligation to show you the bad since you've seen all
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 13: Jerry didn't even tell me. Right, like a month before
Speaker 13: he passed away, he called me up and said hey,
Speaker 13: because he had nothing going on in Stanford at the time.
Speaker 13: You know, Judge Jerry was over everything. So he called
Speaker 13: me up and he said, Hey, I'm having dinner with
Speaker 13: all his old guys, his crew security because they'll work
Speaker 13: on my show. And I was taping that day and
Speaker 13: I said, Jerry, I don't want to go to dinner
Speaker 13: with twenty guys. And when I'm done taping. I'm exhausted
Speaker 13: at then to my tape day because I'm doing like
Speaker 13: six stories a day. So I said, you know, I'm
Speaker 13: gonna pass him, and he goes, I really want to
Speaker 13: see Steve. Well, Jerry, you know, doesn't talk like that.
Speaker 13: You know, I really want to see it. So I'll
Speaker 13: tell you what.
Speaker 2: You go to dinner.
Speaker 13: I'm gonna go home, rest a little bit, and then
Speaker 13: when you're done, you go meet me for a cigar
Speaker 13: at John Starks as a place in Stanford, Connecticut, cigar bar.
Speaker 13: So I met him there and it was crazy because
Speaker 13: we were two guys that never talked about the glory days, like,
Speaker 13: oh you do remember this, Remember that we didn't do that.
Speaker 13: He has a grandson and my son is about the
Speaker 13: same agent or both athletes, and we would always talk
Speaker 13: about our sons. But we talked about politics a lot
Speaker 13: and just what was happening currently in our lives. We
Speaker 13: never talked about the glory days. But that night we
Speaker 13: talked a lot about the glory days, which I didn't
Speaker 13: think anything of it at a time, and it was
Speaker 13: kind of fun because we never do it. But he
Speaker 13: never said, hey, Steve, by the way, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 13: dying a tank odic cancer. Wow, and never mentioned it,
Speaker 13: but I knew something was wrong because I said, Jerry,
Speaker 13: like you okay, you know, because is like shaking really
Speaker 13: bad and stuff. He goes, no, No, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Speaker 13: And that's the kind of guy he was. He didn't
Speaker 13: you want to put that burden on me, because I
Speaker 13: would I'd be sad and depressed and worried about the guy.
Speaker 13: And and so we had a great time and he
Speaker 13: got up hugged me. I love you, Steve, and I
Speaker 13: was like, well, I love you too, Jerry. Of course
Speaker 13: I love you.
Speaker 4: And that was it.
Speaker 13: And I then a month later passed away. So wow,
Speaker 13: you know, that's the kind of guy Jerry was. I
Speaker 13: don't think he wanted to have people make a big
Speaker 13: deal about him. He he didn't want the burden people
Speaker 13: with his illness, and so yeah, I respect it. But again,
Speaker 13: just like with the Wendy Williams thing, when you're at
Speaker 13: your lowest, you know, and I think we've all been there,
Speaker 13: you know, I don't think you want a camera on
Speaker 13: you when you're going through that simple as that.
Speaker 2: Have you dealt with it?
Speaker 4: Death?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 13: You know, kind of haven't been a year yet, right, No,
Speaker 13: it's in April, it's coming up. It was almost like
Speaker 13: losing my father. And I always say, no man had
Speaker 13: a personal interest in me, you know, kind of watching
Speaker 13: on for me, being there for me my own father,
Speaker 13: and so we were very close, and Jerry was so
Speaker 13: great to me and so generous and caring and you know,
Speaker 13: so yeah, I mean it was a big loss of
Speaker 13: my life.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Is it true that you have a human hair
Speaker 6: collection from the Jerry Springers show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so were trying to make a wig out of it.
Speaker 13: It was stupid, man Like. Some women would always fight
Speaker 13: and I'd be pulling each other's hair out. So one
Speaker 13: day I took the strand of hair and I just
Speaker 13: wrapped it up in a little tiny ball. Well, then
Speaker 13: after that, every time there was a fight, I would
Speaker 13: add that hair to the ball. Well, it got to
Speaker 13: be the size of like a bowling ball after you know,
Speaker 13: like ten years. And it was so gross. Man, You
Speaker 13: take him out all his hair and there was all
Speaker 13: different colors, and you know, there's a lot of probably
Speaker 13: wig air in there. And I used to just keep it.
Speaker 13: We had three chairs. It was Jerry, the executivelucer and me,
Speaker 13: and then my wife serves four chairs, and right beid,
Speaker 13: my chair was in the corner and I would just
Speaker 13: throw this human ball of hair back there. And then
Speaker 13: I got my own show. So I don't even know
Speaker 13: what happened to that big ball of hair. Oh wow,
Speaker 13: I hope nobody kept it.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask, would you be in an
Speaker 3: ex police officer, what do you think about how the
Speaker 3: world is taking towards cops now? Like things have changed
Speaker 3: right now with bail reform. You know, criminals are getting
Speaker 3: out fast. It feels like cops are scared now to
Speaker 3: do anything because everything's on camera.
Speaker 13: Well, when I think in New York, thedn't they take
Speaker 13: away their community like you can be personally sued, right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I mean you know we didn't have that when I
Speaker 13: was a company. I mean, who's going to jeopardize, you know,
Speaker 13: their financial wellbeing to you know, listen, I think I'll
Speaker 13: put it this way. When I was coming out of
Speaker 13: the Marines in nineteen eighty nine, I wanted to be
Speaker 13: a cop, just like my dad. And it was a
Speaker 13: good job, you know, like you got pension benefits all
Speaker 13: this stuff. If I was coming out of the Marines,
Speaker 13: there I would never take that job, not in a millionaires. So,
Speaker 13: I mean, I think policemen really are not a good job.
Speaker 13: You know, you fight all the time, and like you said,
Speaker 13: you make arrest and people are back out on the street,
Speaker 13: especially here in New York and Chicago's the same way.
Speaker 13: So it's not a good job.
Speaker 2: Do you have a timetable on when you want the
Speaker 2: show to run?
Speaker 13: Its course, I love doing the show, and I you know,
Speaker 13: I'm only sixty. God, I was thirty when I started
Speaker 13: on TV. But I don't yeah, okay, yeah, it is.
Speaker 13: Come on, man, now, when you say sixty, see you
Speaker 13: don't think it's old because you're not there yet. When
Speaker 13: you become sixty, it sounds old and it is old.
Speaker 13: But so they answer your question is I love doing
Speaker 13: the show. I enjoy it. It provides me with a
Speaker 13: great life, so I don't. I'm never gonna say I'm
Speaker 13: gonna quit. But you know, TV's changing, it's difficult and
Speaker 13: it's tough now, you know, and now they're exploring all
Speaker 13: these different avenues to bring revenue into the show. But
Speaker 13: I would definitely like to hit twenty. I'm at seventeen.
Speaker 13: I'm going to season eighteen nice round number twenty. If
Speaker 13: it would go longer, I guess I would do it
Speaker 13: because I just finished taping last Wednesday and now I
Speaker 13: won't go back to work until last week in August.
Speaker 13: So I get a nice quest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, clearly it works. Seventeen seasons.
Speaker 3: Congratulations, congratulations, that's right, the Steve Wilko Show in the
Speaker 3: seventeenth season, and thank you for joining us again.
Speaker 1: One second, what is your skin regimen? You do not
Speaker 1: look like a six to zero white man.
Speaker 4: You do not.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I shave.
Speaker 1: I don't do any like you don't do anything.
Speaker 2: I don't do anything. Okay, you're aging like a black person.
Speaker 2: The guy in the world. That's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Morning Morning, everybody. It's d J A n V. Jess Hilarious,
Speaker 3: Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Good Morning,
Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday, Home Day, and let's get to Jess with
Speaker 3: the mess.
Speaker 1: Jesus real, Jessica. Robert Moore, just don't do is gonna
Speaker 1: bring numbers.
Speaker 2: On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Stop.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: I thought this was going to be covered in front
Speaker 6: page News, but I got my good sis back. So
Speaker 6: Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry approved eleven bills last week. Some
Speaker 6: of these bills include expanding death row execution methods and
Speaker 6: legislation that eliminates the option for parole. Now, nitrogen gas
Speaker 6: and electrocution were added as methods to carry.
Speaker 1: Out the death penalty.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 6: One of the biggest changes that is that residents eighteen
Speaker 6: and older can carry a concealed handgun without a permit.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: I've seen that yesterday in the news. Eighteen years old.
Speaker 2: There's no way, yeah, right, And.
Speaker 6: This goes into effect on July fourth, like fourth of July,
Speaker 6: fourth of July. It's gonna be a bunch of pursing, right,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Like it's a setup.
Speaker 3: So you eighteen years old, you can go to the
Speaker 3: store and buy a fire arm.
Speaker 1: Yep, you don't need a p to purchase.
Speaker 6: You don't need a registration of firearms, you don't need
Speaker 6: license to own, and you don't need a permit to carry.
Speaker 1: Nope, you don't.
Speaker 2: That's going to end well Yep.
Speaker 1: Louisiana reportedly uses slave labor in their prisons. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is what we know.
Speaker 6: For people who don't know, that's some news I just
Speaker 6: dropped on y'all. And Nola is the sixth most sixth
Speaker 6: most dangerous city in the world. This is so intentional
Speaker 6: that I wrote that.
Speaker 1: I have to say.
Speaker 6: I'm let me just say, this is so intentional, right, Mark,
Speaker 6: And I also dug up this quote. Right, I know
Speaker 6: may be doing this, but this is a meaningful one.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 6: A Phoenie Chikor said America will give you all the
Speaker 6: tools that you need to destroy yourselves.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 6: In fact, that's very much Yeah, that just trumps any
Speaker 6: any other quote he ever said.
Speaker 2: This is what happens, like just can't go to sleep
Speaker 2: and she stays up and watches it washing its This
Speaker 2: is how we get in, you know.
Speaker 1: And I just think it's crazy. And I saw one
Speaker 1: law maker and said, this is going to lower the
Speaker 1: crime rate?
Speaker 6: What you know, what I mean, they're intentionally setting kids up,
Speaker 6: setting you know, black people up.
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 1: This is crazy.
Speaker 3: I just think you're eighteen to be able to have
Speaker 3: that much power in your hand and not necessarily be grown.
Speaker 3: I think it's it creates It creates a big problem because.
Speaker 2: It's the biggest problem is that there's no background checks.
Speaker 2: Whatsoevernumber one, you're only eighteen. Yeah, you know, like clearly
Speaker 2: they're not doing any type of mental competency test. Nothing,
Speaker 2: like you can just walk into a store and get
Speaker 2: a gun. Nobody knows what your emotional well being is,
Speaker 2: your mental well being nothing.
Speaker 3: But you're not even grown yet. Just to just imagine
Speaker 3: the things that you did at eighteen. Yeah, right, you're
Speaker 3: getting in the fights, and you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: you're not even mature. Now you have a firearm in
Speaker 3: your hand that you feel like gives you even more power.
Speaker 6: Lot of teens that are still angry and has so
Speaker 6: much strumped up anger at eighteen.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: And and now listen there, it doesn't cover you know,
Speaker 6: you can't get a rifle or shotgun.
Speaker 3: Only handguns. You know how easy they are to get already.
Speaker 3: We usually can get a handgun at I mean a
Speaker 3: rifle of shotgun at sixteen usually.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but no, this doesn't cover that, saying no for that,
Speaker 6: but the handguns. Yeah crazy, All right, So that's the
Speaker 6: recipe for disaster.
Speaker 1: I have a July fourth.
Speaker 3: And then not only that, when the police pull you
Speaker 3: over when you got a handgun on you, Now that's
Speaker 3: another thing they got worried about.
Speaker 2: Not dead because it's it's clearly illegal, right you shure
Speaker 2: you sure.
Speaker 4: Your yeah.
Speaker 3: And then the fact that if you have enough time
Speaker 3: to pull out your license registration, if the police police
Speaker 3: pulls you over with a hand, good on you.
Speaker 1: And then the legislation that eliminates the option for parole.
Speaker 6: They set them up like they're literally setting them up
Speaker 6: to be killed and put thrown in jail forever and
Speaker 6: said okay. In other news, Jennifer Lewis almost died after
Speaker 6: falling ten feet.
Speaker 2: I saw that, man.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 6: Jennifer Lewis had a ball fall two years ago that
Speaker 6: almost took her life. She recently spoke about the incident
Speaker 6: in an interview with Robin Roberts, and this is what
Speaker 6: she said.
Speaker 1: I saw the infinity pool out on my deck.
Speaker 3: So I went out and I'm walking.
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, criticle.
Speaker 14: I had fallen ten feet into a dry ravine full
Speaker 14: of boulders and stones and sharp rocks. Robin, there was
Speaker 14: a non sectioned off and there was no sign that
Speaker 14: said caution. My right hip took the impact, my shoulder
Speaker 14: went up against the stone and pitch black. I didn't
Speaker 14: know I was falling, nothing would move.
Speaker 6: And yep, and she was vacationing in Africa after wrapping
Speaker 6: film or whatever.
Speaker 1: Right, and so she said.
Speaker 2: It sounds like she was reading like a good audio scripted.
Speaker 1: Original, Yes, like May Angelou or something. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so nice. But it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Because she also said that she thought that she would die.
Speaker 14: There are wild animals, because when Laurie shined her flashlight
Speaker 14: down there, she didn't know there was a kate buffalo
Speaker 14: ten feet away. When Laurie ran to get help, I
Speaker 14: heard a lion roar. My last thought, because I am
Speaker 14: Jennifer Lewis, was what ahead.
Speaker 1: The king ain't the queen.
Speaker 6: I'm glad she can laugh about it, because I was
Speaker 6: ready to say, listen, next time you come up here,
Speaker 6: she ain't gonna be hitting no.
Speaker 2: Splits storyteller is I think a little bit of hot
Speaker 2: sauce might have got put on that story.
Speaker 3: There's a little bit.
Speaker 2: Girl.
Speaker 3: They both.
Speaker 2: Do they exist in the same terrain.
Speaker 1: I don't know a buffalo and a lion in Africa.
Speaker 1: You know, things be different, she.
Speaker 3: Said, Africa, things be different.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if I'm the lion, I would rather
Speaker 2: the buffalo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not necessarily.
Speaker 9: Not.
Speaker 3: If somebody's just laying there, you ain't gotta fight them
Speaker 3: Buffalo wings though, Shut up, yo.
Speaker 6: She fell in the whole ditch of rocks and boulders,
Speaker 6: shark ten feet She said. The fall was like boom,
Speaker 6: and her friend would flashed that flashlight down there, and
Speaker 6: she saw the buffalo.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm looking at mad videos of buffalo and
Speaker 2: lione fight and she and.
Speaker 1: She ran to go get help. Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: she heard the lion roar, so she gotta do.
Speaker 2: Ye would have been easy to eat. I'm saying, buffalo
Speaker 2: and no joke, the biggest hall lawn that's not moving.
Speaker 2: How did they get them? For the wings?
Speaker 6: How they were But you know what you are dumb.
Speaker 6: That is not what we're doing here. Buffalo wings do
Speaker 6: not come from a buffalo.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's wrap this up. That's Jess with the
Speaker 1: mess for the second hour.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I have missed the buffalo. We hive
Speaker 3: me your dog.
Speaker 2: I need a woman named Jennifer lin Rossi to come
Speaker 2: to the front of the congregation. We would like to
Speaker 2: have a word with her. Please, okay. She is a
Speaker 2: prime example of why you don't mess with nobody churn.
Speaker 2: But as parents, we gotta make better choices when people
Speaker 2: do mess with our charin. We'll discuss, all right, we'll
Speaker 2: get to that next. It's the breakfast s lookalboarding.
Speaker 1: Let's don't be a dunky because right now you want
Speaker 1: some grip.
Speaker 3: It's time for Donkey of the day, so we have
Speaker 3: before I need to be a man with the heat.
Speaker 4: Did she get today?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 1: Doesn't I had become Donkey of the day the breakfast club.
Speaker 4: Bitch you.
Speaker 2: Yes, donkey today for Wednesday March. Third Teeth goes to
Speaker 2: a forty five year old Texas mother named Jennifer Lynn Rossi.
Speaker 2: Salute to Jennifer Lynn Rossi. She's a mother and I
Speaker 2: understand going above and beyond for our kids. Okay, we
Speaker 2: all should, all right, don't let nobody.
Speaker 3: Play with your churn.
Speaker 2: And you have to be willing to go scuorshed earth.
Speaker 2: You have to be willing to burn everything to the
Speaker 2: ground to protect your child. But you don't want to
Speaker 2: put yourself in a position where you go too hard
Speaker 2: and end up in jail. Okay, because if you do
Speaker 2: something to protect your child and it causes you to
Speaker 2: lose your freedom, then you won't be here to protect
Speaker 2: your child anyway, So it defeats the whole purpose.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: It's so easy to get tricked off the street as
Speaker 2: a parent because if somebody messages with your child, God forbid,
Speaker 2: somebody hurts your child, that is a good enough justification
Speaker 2: to knuck always. But the law is still the law.
Speaker 2: So if you go to seek parental revenge because somebody
Speaker 2: mess with your child and you break the law, then
Speaker 2: well you going to jail. That's what happened to Jennifer Rossi. See,
Speaker 2: her son was getting a slightly bully, meaning somebody was
Speaker 2: stealing from him at school. Okay, stealing his drink to
Speaker 2: be more specific. So Jennifer decided to take matters in
Speaker 2: her own hands and teach this defaul lesson. That's called it.
Speaker 2: ABC seven News for the report.
Speaker 1: Police you know also knew this morning.
Speaker 12: A mother from San Antonio is behind bars after she
Speaker 12: allegedly tainted a gatorade for her son's classmate. Core records
Speaker 12: say that the forty five year old mixed to lemon juice, vinegar, salt,
Speaker 12: and gatorade together in a sports bottle before instructing her
Speaker 12: ten year old to give it to his classmate who
Speaker 12: had stolen.
Speaker 2: His drink the day before.
Speaker 12: But shortly after the child consumed the drink, he became
Speaker 12: sick and was taken to the hospital. Now, though the
Speaker 12: drink was non toxic, Jennifer Rossi was still charged with
Speaker 12: injury to a child causing bodily injury.
Speaker 2: Now, let me tell you something.
Speaker 3: It was non toxic.
Speaker 2: Though, right, it was non toxic. But let me tell
Speaker 2: that young man someting. You could have swallowed a lot worse. Pause. Okay, yo,
Speaker 2: lemon salt, vinegar, gatorade. That ain't nothing but ingredients to
Speaker 2: clean a sink. Okay, you chased that down with a
Speaker 2: shot at apple side of vinegar. Now you have created
Speaker 2: a concoction for steady and healthy weight loss. But think
Speaker 2: of all the other things that could have been in
Speaker 2: that drink, like bodily fluids. Okay, could have been urine,
Speaker 2: could have been vaginal with this child, could have been
Speaker 2: the seeming of an eight month old Siberian husky. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of different things Mama could have put in
Speaker 2: that drink. You're lucky she didn't hit you with some
Speaker 2: good old fashioned roots. Yes, voodoo say voodoo, jes see,
Speaker 2: I know some women. I know some women you play
Speaker 2: with their kids, they gonna give you something to drink
Speaker 2: that will make you fought uncontrollably for duration to set spell. Okay,
Speaker 2: not no normal farts either, the kind that is never silent, loud, aggressive,
Speaker 2: probably even burn a little when the past through your ainus.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine never being able to silently fart ever again,
Speaker 2: and every time you fought it hurts. That's what would
Speaker 2: happened to you if you play with the wrong person's kids.
Speaker 2: So you kind of got off easy. Okay. Lemon salt
Speaker 2: and vinegar. That ain't nothing but a douche douche.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Notice that I know it's not you put
Speaker 1: some salt in yeah, right on fire.
Speaker 6: Okay, No, it's just vinegar. It's vinegar and something else.
Speaker 6: But it ain't no salt.
Speaker 2: Okay. Now, Jennifer's a nurse and she, like you just
Speaker 2: said it. She says she knows the mixture to be
Speaker 2: non toxic. Correct, what the victim still got sick? Okay,
Speaker 2: you know why the victim got sick. Probably dehydrated. Little
Speaker 2: boy probably didn't have enough water in the system. That's
Speaker 2: starting vining coul drive his ass right up. But once again,
Speaker 2: you're lucky you didn't end up somewhere coughing up a frog,
Speaker 2: young man. Okay, stop stealing from people, young man. But
Speaker 2: that's not why we are here. We are here because
Speaker 2: his parents, as adults, we must make better decisions, We
Speaker 2: must make better choices, because we must believe in the
Speaker 2: golden rule. Yes, what you do to someone will ultimately
Speaker 2: come back to you. You shouldn't do to someone else's
Speaker 2: child what you wouldn't want done to yours. But that said,
Speaker 2: there was other ways to hands of the situation. A
Speaker 2: phone call to the principal, phone call to the teachers,
Speaker 2: a phone call to the child's parents. Better yet, pull
Speaker 2: up to the school and complain, see the child's parents,
Speaker 2: see the child's parents face to face, and figure it out.
Speaker 2: I know that sometimes you can't wait for others to
Speaker 2: do it. You want to take things into your own hands.
Speaker 2: I agree with that, unless that thing you're taking into
Speaker 2: your own hands is somebody else's child. Because now you
Speaker 2: gotta smoke with me as a parent. Okay, I know
Speaker 2: that my son was a d head and he had
Speaker 2: no business stealing your child's drink, But you don't have
Speaker 2: no old business doing something that could potentially hurt my child.
Speaker 2: Now I need a piece of your hair. Okay, I
Speaker 2: need a piece of your hair to take it to
Speaker 2: my doctor. You know, and one little mix, one little
Speaker 2: mix walk up to you right after schooling. Now I'm
Speaker 2: going to have you sexually attracted the Golden retriever for
Speaker 2: the rest of your life. Ah, the duration of such spell.
Speaker 2: Please give Jennifer linn Rossi the sweet sounds of the
Speaker 2: Hamilton's fleece.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the dog gee.
Speaker 6: Of the.
Speaker 3: Dog gee. Oh the day yee.
Speaker 2: You got that stupid look on your face in me,
Speaker 2: you are totally wrong. Okay, okay, thank you.
Speaker 6: You gave the little boy who was hospitalized too much smoke.
Speaker 6: First of all, should feel what if he was poor
Speaker 6: and didn't have his own juice?
Speaker 1: You don't even know this.
Speaker 3: Wh Are you stealing from my kid? And bully and
Speaker 3: my kid though, But you can't steal from my and
Speaker 3: my kid ain't got no gatorading heirs the all day long,
Speaker 3: we said bullying, bullying.
Speaker 2: That's what they call it, slightly bullying. Oh, because he
Speaker 2: stole the gator I guess he had been harassed. He
Speaker 2: always harassed. The little has my son. He always harassed
Speaker 2: my son.
Speaker 3: A little, short, little kid can't fight back, can't do
Speaker 3: anything back.
Speaker 2: And I don't know what I don't know if the
Speaker 2: little boy is shorting all.
Speaker 3: And if he said harassed, that means they probably complained
Speaker 3: before he was harassed. And now I complain, they don't
Speaker 3: do nothing. And this little kid, your little son, is
Speaker 3: still bullying my stop.
Speaker 2: Stealing from I got something for you.
Speaker 3: Now you're gonna diarrhea all day.
Speaker 1: So this is built up, yes, from okay, the sort
Speaker 1: of little concoction.
Speaker 3: She probably complained and they did nothing.
Speaker 2: By the way, you shouldn't do stuff like that anyway.
Speaker 1: Anyway. What if he was allergic the vinegar? What if
Speaker 1: he was allergic to like? What if from my son
Speaker 1: and bullying my.
Speaker 2: But she shouldn't be trying to hurt the other little
Speaker 2: boy too. There the other way in handle that. Jesus,
Speaker 2: she's a forty five year oldoman. This is ten year
Speaker 2: old kids.
Speaker 6: We be talking about teach his son how to kick him,
Speaker 6: and the donats nothing that could work too.
Speaker 2: You got to teach you kids stick up for themself.
Speaker 1: He's trying to raise a little science.
Speaker 3: Is serial okayttle short, little sons and they're just big
Speaker 3: ass football player. Now I gotta kick him in and us.
Speaker 3: And then then he dragged my son all through the playground.
Speaker 3: Make it worse.

Speaker 1: I can now, Lord, somebody stole his juice?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: The mom messed up. The mom shouldn't said give the boys.
Speaker 3: Mom should have said nothing. Mom should just.
Speaker 9: You know that.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't said nothing.
Speaker 2: The mom shouldn't have did that to the little boy
Speaker 2: at all. Little child.
Speaker 3: The boy shouldn't be bullied my child.
Speaker 2: Sure, but there's other ways to handle that.
Speaker 12: Mmm.

Speaker 3: come back.
Speaker 4: So don't move.
Speaker 3: It's to Breakfast Lugal Morning, the Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 3: It's DJ Envy, just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are
Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
Speaker 3: That's right, the brother Ernie Hudson. Welcome, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4: It's great to be here.
Speaker 2: Ghostbusters is back Frozen Empire in March twenty second.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's I saw it a couple of days ago,
Speaker 11: and I'm excited about it. It's a good movie. I
Speaker 11: think it's what the fans have been sort of hoping
Speaker 11: for since the first couple. I think it's a big
Speaker 11: movie and there's a lot going on, but I feel
Speaker 11: good about it.
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about the legendary role in the Ghostbusters. Now,
Speaker 3: how did you get that role? We've seen you in
Speaker 3: the eighteen we've seen you in Dukes of Hazard, But
Speaker 3: how did you get the role for Ghostbusters?
Speaker 2: How did that come about?
Speaker 11: Well, they had a movie called Space Center with Peter
Speaker 11: Strawns and Molly ring Wall back in eighty two. We
Speaker 11: shot in eighty two, came out in eighty three and
Speaker 11: it was a big studio movie, but it didn't get
Speaker 11: the traction like a Ghostbuster. I even Rerightman produced that movie.
Speaker 11: Harold Ramis was one of the writers, and a year
Speaker 11: later they were doing Ghostbusters. I thought I'd automatically be
Speaker 11: able to get an audition, but they refused to see
Speaker 11: me because the character and Space Hunter was just very
Speaker 11: different character. He was bigger than life. My head was shaved,
Speaker 11: you know, and so I couldn't get an audition. It
Speaker 11: took me months before I could get an audition for
Speaker 11: the film, and finally they saw me after it seemed
Speaker 11: like they had seen everybody and I knew I sort
Speaker 11: of did really well in the audition, but I went.
Speaker 11: They had me come in maybe about six times, put
Speaker 11: me on screen tests three times, and eventually, you know,
Speaker 11: I guess I just went out against a whole bunch
Speaker 11: of other folk who was one of those things where
Speaker 11: you feel like people would rather have somebody else, but.
Speaker 4: You know, in case we can't find anybody else, we
Speaker 4: got earned over here.
Speaker 11: And I always say, by the time I got the part,
Speaker 11: it was like I can't even celebrate, you know, I'm
Speaker 11: like me and the kids everything so long. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 11: you know, yeah, you know, a aren't you excited that
Speaker 11: you got the role. Yeah, but I mean it's been
Speaker 11: you know, in three months.
Speaker 3: Did you feel like they wanted another white person or
Speaker 3: did you feel like it was race back then?
Speaker 11: No, Well, as a black man, everything that's ever happened
Speaker 11: in my life, I can attribute it to race on
Speaker 11: some level in my mind. I could do that if
Speaker 11: I wanted to, you know, but I also realized it's
Speaker 11: much more complicated than that. I knew that they wanted
Speaker 11: a person of color because I think originally they thought
Speaker 11: about Eddie Murphy. Eddie had worked with Danny Aykroyd and
Speaker 11: that's what would have been. But Eddie was doing I
Speaker 11: think Beverly Hills Come, so he was busy. So then
Speaker 11: it became well, let's get some so a lot of
Speaker 11: my you know, Hispanic friends. It was seeing pretty much anybody.
Speaker 11: But so, yeah, so they were definitely wanted person of color.
Speaker 11: But the thing was in The Space Hunter, the character
Speaker 11: is bigger than life, was kind of a take charge guy,
Speaker 11: and I think they felt that wasn't the character to
Speaker 11: be with in this movie because he had to be,
Speaker 11: you know, that fourth man on the team and not
Speaker 11: had Addie Murphy done, it would have been a whole
Speaker 11: different time, you know different things. So so you know,
Speaker 11: I don't know, you know, I always in Hollywood, I
Speaker 11: always say you never know when you're working, you don't
Speaker 11: really know why you're working. And if you're not working,
Speaker 11: you'll never know why you're not working because nobody will
Speaker 11: ever tell you the truth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the first bunch of advertisements, we didn't see
Speaker 3: the brother, right, Yeah, we didn't see that brother at first.
Speaker 3: We see the three white guys with a ghostbuster.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, later on we started seeing the brother pop up.
Speaker 3: So I was like, That's what always made me feel like, damn,
Speaker 3: was it supposed to be another oversea but yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 4: There was always an excuse, you know.
Speaker 11: But I've always attributed the work I do or in
Speaker 11: this business, like when I was growing up, you know,
Speaker 11: trying to get a girlfriend. You know sometimes you you
Speaker 11: know the girl, she will let you sort of you know,
Speaker 11: come over to the house, but she ain't never gonna
Speaker 11: as we say, Shane, don't never going to give you nothing.
Speaker 4: Because you ain't. You ain't you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But you think you are.
Speaker 11: You keep going over there and hope, and I think
Speaker 11: with the studios, especially at that time, they kind of
Speaker 11: wanted you around to do your job, but not necessarily
Speaker 11: to be that fun person because all the excuses, you know,
Speaker 11: soloverseeds or whatever, so you're not intended to be that guy.
Speaker 11: It's not necessary to put you on the poster, it's
Speaker 11: not necessary to include you in the promotion. And that
Speaker 11: just was, you know, taken for granted.
Speaker 3: When did that start to change, because we've seen the
Speaker 3: change a little bit, and why to change?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm a huge change and certainly in the past
Speaker 11: fifteen years, you know, because I mean I see things
Speaker 11: on TV that when I came out here in the sixties,
Speaker 11: you couldn't even convinced me. You know, I see you know,
Speaker 11: brothers and sisters producing and you know, not only was
Speaker 11: it not done, we didn't even think it would be possible.
Speaker 11: So the assumption was they ain't never going to whoever
Speaker 11: that big day is. And that was a big thing
Speaker 11: to overcome. And it took a lot of younger generations
Speaker 11: to come along and show us old guys that yeah, no, no,
Speaker 11: you can you can ask, you can step up and
Speaker 11: it's possible.
Speaker 4: But it took a while.
Speaker 2: It felt like back then it was it was it
Speaker 2: was much more organic too, Like now it feels like
Speaker 2: a lot of forced diversity.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Well, you know, once you sort of get an idea, oh,
Speaker 11: let's open it up, then you go oh, well yeah,
Speaker 11: so everything is sort of there's the original, there's there's
Speaker 11: you know, what's serious, and then you get a bunch
Speaker 11: of people imitating. Oh well, if they made money doing that,
Speaker 11: we don't. Oh they did. They had a black guy
Speaker 11: Starr and the thing, then we can get one too.
Speaker 11: But they got a creative guy. They they there was
Speaker 11: a reason for him being there. Now it's just a
Speaker 11: matter of it wasn't just because he was black. Oh
Speaker 11: we'll do that show and we'll just we'll get anybody.
Speaker 11: And sometimes I feel like the demand for skill and
Speaker 11: talent in some areas isn't as high.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 11: Some of them has to do with content. I mean,
Speaker 11: it made a lot of movies, TV shows. I don't
Speaker 11: know how people find stuff on TV. There's a lot
Speaker 11: of it, and some of it isn't very well thought out.
Speaker 11: How did that ever get made? And who is this person?
Speaker 11: And why is he where he come from? So you're
Speaker 11: gonna get a lot of that, and maybe that's not
Speaker 11: a bad thing, But the real creative stuff. You know it,
Speaker 11: you can feel that, you can see it, and I
Speaker 11: hope we don't lose that because at a certain point
Speaker 11: you know that that the people who will demand excellency.
Speaker 11: And also I think sometimes I'm just speaking for an
Speaker 11: African American and sometimes we will In the old days
Speaker 11: we would do well if that's what they want to see.
Speaker 11: I can do that too, and we do a lesser
Speaker 11: version of our own story because we think that's what
Speaker 11: they want to see. So a lot of has changed.
Speaker 11: It's a lot of play, but it's it's moving, but
Speaker 11: it's I think moving in the right direction, and hopefully
Speaker 11: it doesn't change.
Speaker 4: We did Roots.
Speaker 11: When Roots came out, it was the biggest television show
Speaker 11: in history. I mean, it's huge, and we got all
Speaker 11: excited because we thought this is going to open the door.
Speaker 11: We're gonna work now in the door closed.
Speaker 2: Why do you think that was after you've proven the
Speaker 2: success with the ratings, Why wouldn't they make more of that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you would think. I don't know.
Speaker 11: I think it's a fear of losing fear if we
Speaker 11: open that door and they're gonna come through.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 11: This is just you know, people ask me things and
Speaker 11: I answer, I don't know if I'm just telling you
Speaker 11: what I fit, So it might be whatever.
Speaker 4: But I think it's a fear. It's a big fear
Speaker 4: of if I let you be all you can be,
Speaker 4: then who's gonna want me?
Speaker 2: Fear a black planet?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's like, you know, I mean, if
Speaker 11: the girl wants you, then why would she want me?
Speaker 11: You go because you bring something to you know, It's
Speaker 11: it's a lack of confidence in what you you bring.
Speaker 11: You know what I mean, you don't that you you're creative,
Speaker 11: you don't have to steal everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the colonize is gonna colonize. But I can't help
Speaker 2: my nature.
Speaker 11: And I'm not gonna I'm not gonna kick you out
Speaker 11: of space program. I mean, it's like we can all
Speaker 11: play it.
Speaker 3: We got more with Ernie Hutson when we come back,
Speaker 3: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, good morning.
Speaker 3: Everybody is dj n V, Jess Hilaris Charlamage the guy.
Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with
Speaker 3: Ernie Hudson. He's the from Ghostbusters movie that comes out
Speaker 3: next week. He's the brother. He's a black guy in Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3: I when you got the when you got the script
Speaker 3: for Ghostbusters, right, what was your first reaction? Right, these
Speaker 3: big packs on your back and you're shooting goals. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you believe in ghosts or not. Then
Speaker 3: you say this ain't gonna do nothing? Or was it
Speaker 3: one of those things like this could be a hit?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 11: Man, when I got scripted, I've been fortun to come on.
Speaker 11: You're always looking for that thing that that won, you know,
Speaker 11: that role. And I was a single dad after two
Speaker 11: sons I was raising and uh, and you're always hoping
Speaker 11: for them. You know, it's the dad, and dad's going
Speaker 11: up for this, Dad's going up for that. I got
Speaker 11: this script and I thought, Man, if I get this role,
Speaker 11: I mean it was it was the role came in
Speaker 11: the very beginning of the movie, and it was all
Speaker 11: the way through. It was a great role.
Speaker 3: You know it was a sequel.
Speaker 11: You knew this was gonna be long enough. I know
Speaker 11: this is gonna I don't care if we just do this.
Speaker 11: If they let me do this world, so it's gonna
Speaker 11: be a whole different player. And uh, let my boys
Speaker 11: raided and we are all excited. And I knew when
Speaker 11: I went into the audition. I'm you know, it's one
Speaker 11: of those things where this is this is my moment,
Speaker 11: and I went in and killed it.
Speaker 4: You know, this is mine.
Speaker 11: And then when they it didn't happen, it was like, oh,
Speaker 11: we want me to come back again. It's like, because
Speaker 11: I know, I don't know what I could do different.
Speaker 11: But so the original script was that now by the
Speaker 11: time we got to the movie, the character had been
Speaker 11: basically cut down and there have been a lot of changes,
Speaker 11: you know, and suddenly that wasn't the thing I signed
Speaker 11: up for.
Speaker 3: Remember what you got paid first the first one.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I don't think it's probably any secret. And
Speaker 11: I'm saying this because I look back on all this
Speaker 11: ghostbus and stuff. It's a real learning experience. It was
Speaker 11: exactly what I needed to do to be able to
Speaker 11: be where I am now. So whatever minimum was, I
Speaker 11: think probably for Ghosts Busts, I might have made forty
Speaker 11: grand for the whole movie.
Speaker 2: What about Mercy, Like, because you know y'all had toys,
Speaker 2: y'all was on lunch boxes.
Speaker 11: I've seen my face everywhere, even to the point where
Speaker 11: where you know, they take my history, you know, my
Speaker 11: personal history put it on the box. But you know,
Speaker 11: you sign these things unless you got a real good
Speaker 11: attorney who can nail some things down, you never see
Speaker 11: that money.
Speaker 2: Damn even for the march was your likeness? Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: you get a protact, you shoot the studio up, man,
Speaker 2: Come on you.
Speaker 4: You never you never never see any of that.
Speaker 11: Now, I will say, the other guys in the movie,
Speaker 11: they had good attorneys, and so they have made a
Speaker 11: lot of money, you know. And uh, now the audience
Speaker 11: don't know the difference. You know, they just assume certain things.
Speaker 11: Relatives assume certain things. But then you but it's how
Speaker 11: do you make peace with yourself? I mean, how do
Speaker 11: you go? Okay, I didn't handle that well. But how
Speaker 11: do I still feel good about myself? How do I
Speaker 11: still get up in the morning? How do I still
Speaker 11: you know, keep stepping forward? And I think that's, you know,
Speaker 11: the key to I have a lot of friends, a
Speaker 11: lot of people I've known who come out to Hollywood.
Speaker 11: Uh and after a few years they leave angry, you know,
Speaker 11: and what the studio did and didn't do, and you know,
Speaker 11: but that's not how I want to live my life,
Speaker 11: you know what I mean. I want to stand you know,
Speaker 11: I'm seventy eight years old. I'm still want to be
Speaker 11: able to get up, feel good, and you know, I
Speaker 11: want to have a good life and be an example
Speaker 11: of what's possible.
Speaker 3: But so much of that he said seventy eight eight.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 11: Whenever I say that and people don't say anything, I say, no, Yeah,
Speaker 11: I'm very blessed. But I also know that we When
Speaker 11: I was a kid, my grandmother taught me that Jesus
Speaker 11: says He's the light of the world, but we're all
Speaker 11: the lights of the world, and so we have a
Speaker 11: responsibility to be an example of what's possible. So, whether
Speaker 11: I'm in this business or just in life, you want
Speaker 11: to show up, you know, showing what's possible. You know
Speaker 11: that you know, and you know you see it and
Speaker 11: you glow and whatever and that. Yeah, that's what God
Speaker 11: can do as opposed to you know, in this country,
Speaker 11: maybe in the world. You know, people of color, certainly
Speaker 11: African Americans, Africans, you know, they try to sell on
Speaker 11: how much less. So you definitely want to step up
Speaker 11: and be all that you can be in spite of
Speaker 11: what the circumstances look like.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about what did you think
Speaker 3: about the all Women's Ghostbusters. Well, reviews weren't too great.
Speaker 11: Well, I, you know, we had a different time when
Speaker 11: then I grew up, you know, and it's a lot
Speaker 11: about empowering women, and I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 4: I think that's a good thing. But how we do
Speaker 4: it could be you know, discussed.
Speaker 11: I didn't mind that All Women Ghostbusters as much as
Speaker 11: I didn't think it should be a reboot, you know,
Speaker 11: just make another movie. I mean, it's been thirty years.
Speaker 11: You don't got to do the same story. So that
Speaker 11: was my biggest complaint. All the women and it are
Speaker 11: brilliant and funny, and I'm a fan of all of theirs.
Speaker 11: I just thought it was executed differently than I would
Speaker 11: have done it, and the fans were expecting something different.
Speaker 11: I don't think it was. I don't think it's a
Speaker 11: terrible movie. Actually it's kind of fun. But I don't
Speaker 11: think it was what the fans were expecting. And I
Speaker 11: think the movie after that movie, after Life Ghostbusters after
Speaker 11: Life was kind of a reinjuredduction to the original idea
Speaker 11: of Ghostbusters. And I think in this one coming out
Speaker 11: is now we're into we step further into it.
Speaker 2: How was it continuing the Ghostbusters franchise without how well,
Speaker 2: you know, Harold was a glue.
Speaker 11: He was a magnet that held everybody together because everybody
Speaker 11: had their personalities and people would sort of go in
Speaker 11: different directions. But Harrol just had that way of pulling,
Speaker 11: keeping things on course and keeping the games together. And
Speaker 11: for a lot of things that came up for me,
Speaker 11: a lot of that sort of learning we talked about.
Speaker 11: Harold was always a guy who would just go hey,
Speaker 11: and he just you know, and he would kind of
Speaker 11: explain things.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, for me, it Ghostbusters I started.
Speaker 11: We talked about how the movie was kind of disappointing
Speaker 11: because they cut a lot of the parts. And over
Speaker 11: the years, what I do like about the franchise is
Speaker 11: Winston who sort of came in looked for a job.
Speaker 11: The land was his steady paychecking and I believe anything
Speaker 11: you say to.
Speaker 4: You know, over the.
Speaker 11: Years, he's become a billionaire and now he owns the
Speaker 11: ghost Busses franchisees, and he's now kind of the Nick
Speaker 11: Fury of the ghost Busters, and he's taken into another level.
Speaker 11: He's interested in the science of what's really behind the ghosts,
Speaker 11: and so there's another level to Winston that I appreciate
Speaker 11: the fact that they introduce and it makes him more
Speaker 11: of an interesting, interesting guy to play.
Speaker 3: So what is the Frozen Empire about? And for some
Speaker 3: of the younger generation that might not have seen the
Speaker 3: original Ghostbusters, do they have to see the originals to
Speaker 3: see to understand Frozen Empire?
Speaker 11: No, No, I don't think so. I think it's it's
Speaker 11: definitely for the fans. But yeah, no, I think the
Speaker 11: movie stands up, you know, on its own. Obviously, were
Speaker 11: the legacy US old Ghostbusters, you know, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd,
Speaker 11: Anti Pots, We're sort of there, but then it's a
Speaker 11: new team, a new family that we met in the
Speaker 11: Ghostbusters Afterlife. But it's yeah, it's kind of blending the two.
Speaker 11: It's kind of a nice But I hope this opens
Speaker 11: the door to move into other areas. I mean, every
Speaker 11: culture has its ghost stories and you know, all over
Speaker 11: the world. I'd like to see that, and I'd like
Speaker 11: to see some serious ghost busses where we get to
Speaker 11: deal with some not so funny demons that a lot
Speaker 11: of people believe in and live their lives by it.
Speaker 4: So I'd like to I think it has a lot
Speaker 4: of possibilities. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I believe that there are other dimensions. I
Speaker 11: think we only have five senses. If it doesn't show
Speaker 11: up in one of those five senses, wouldn't even know
Speaker 11: it's there. So there's a lot more going on. I
Speaker 11: think we all know that. You know, here, you know,
Speaker 11: we're finding rays and things that we didn't even know existed.
Speaker 11: I don't know how the telephone gets through the walls,
Speaker 11: but it's it's happening. So as we discover more. But yeah,
Speaker 11: I believe that I don't believe this is the end
Speaker 11: of our existence.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've you know, I grew up in the culture
Speaker 11: that believed uh, and I've always believed that. I'm I've
Speaker 11: been guided by you know, ancestors, you know, family. I
Speaker 11: think we're I think there. I think we're not in
Speaker 11: this alone. And I think unfortunately some people don't understand.
Speaker 11: I think if people believe that, they would probably make
Speaker 11: better choices.
Speaker 3: I always want to know the theme song, Yeah, Ray Parker,
Speaker 3: Ray Parker, that theme song was so big. It's probably
Speaker 3: one of the biggest theme songs when it came down.
Speaker 3: Do you know how that came about or was that
Speaker 3: just the producers or had so much soul back then,
Speaker 3: I mean it.
Speaker 11: Was yeah, yeah, no, I well, I don't think you
Speaker 11: can separate the movie from the song. I mean, I
Speaker 11: think the studios probably would have liked to have done
Speaker 11: something else, but it's just it's you know, it's in
Speaker 11: the DNA, you know. And Ray Parker, you know who
Speaker 11: wrote the song. I think he and I don't know
Speaker 11: the whole deal, but I think maybe the studio didn't
Speaker 11: expect it to be the song and probably gave him
Speaker 11: a lot more of the rights than they expected. So
Speaker 11: he's doing very very well, you know. So you know,
Speaker 11: I can walk into his fourier of his house and
Speaker 11: I go, Okay, you got paid. We got a better
Speaker 11: deal than I did.
Speaker 2: So no, I've seen some stories about that, that Gray
Speaker 2: Paulk and that's all. He made some money.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, he'll be in town. Actually he'll be
Speaker 11: in town. So he's a good dude too, So I'm
Speaker 11: very happy.
Speaker 13: And he's right.
Speaker 3: I think he wrote mister Telephone Man like he's he's busy.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we appreciate you joining us. I know you
Speaker 3: got to go, and good luck the movie comes out.
Speaker 3: March twenty seconds and The Ghostbusters, The Frozen Empire. Ernie Hudson.
Speaker 4: Thank you for joinings, but I appreciate you, guys, thank
Speaker 4: you for having me.
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Speaker 3: Breakfast Club, Good morning. Everybody, be all to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: DJ n B, Jess Larry Charlamagne, the God and let's
Speaker 3: get to just with the miss This is real.
Speaker 4: Just go Rob the Lord just don't do you know?
Speaker 3: Live Just is gonna bring you numbers.
Speaker 4: On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 13: Stat slashes.
Speaker 6: Okay, y'all after getting off the phone with you know
Speaker 6: some of my people at m alright, it's the hospital
Speaker 6: in Manchester Infirmary. Two women died after being served chicken
Speaker 6: Mao sandwiches at a hospital in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Now they died from lysteria.
Speaker 6: Both women had underlying health issues, and they died days later.
Speaker 6: This all happened while there was a nationwide alert for
Speaker 6: a hysteria breakout. For those who don't know what listeria is,
Speaker 6: I'm coming, I'm coming. It's a bacteria that contaminates food.
Speaker 6: Lysteria itself isn't fatal, but it can cause an illness
Speaker 6: called listeriosis, which can be which can be fatal for
Speaker 6: people with weakened immune systems. All right, so the source
Speaker 6: of the bacteria was linked to an external food supplier,
Speaker 6: not the hospital kitchen, because I know y'all probably like, well,
Speaker 6: if if the sandwiches came from inside the hospital, that's.
Speaker 1: Exactly what I thought.
Speaker 6: But after you know, meeting with my team of researchers there, right,
Speaker 6: it's not going and it's not going on the hospital
Speaker 6: because they get is going going on who they get
Speaker 6: their food from, an external food supplier, North Country Quality Foods,
Speaker 6: not the kitchens at the hospital. They're putting together a
Speaker 6: jury of five men and two women, which began on Monday.
Speaker 1: So it's still going on now.
Speaker 6: North Country Quality Food supplied the chicken to the Good
Speaker 6: Food Chain, the sandwich makers.
Speaker 1: All right, so they are the sandwich makers.
Speaker 6: And look, the Good Food Chain made up to forty
Speaker 6: thousand sandwiches a day, supplying around seventy hospitals.
Speaker 1: Now, listen the victims.
Speaker 6: One victim was a Jamaican fifty six year old retired
Speaker 6: nurse with breast cancer.
Speaker 1: She died two days later.
Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, energy can't send a healing energy. Listen listen England, Okay, listen.
Speaker 6: The other was an eighty four year old retired chemist
Speaker 6: shop assistant.
Speaker 1: She had a weekend immune system too.
Speaker 6: Neither of them had any other notable reasons to cause
Speaker 6: death other than the fact that they were both served
Speaker 6: the chicken sandwiches.
Speaker 2: Now, I know you got your UK sources and they've
Speaker 2: been feeding you all this news. And yeah, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: for that family and their losses. But why that story
Speaker 2: from twenty nineteen? What what I'm just asking.

Speaker 1: Picking it up, I don't know what.
Speaker 3: Just listen to finish.
Speaker 6: And then it's like, why is there so many recalls
Speaker 6: on our food supply? So that's also telling us something

Speaker 6: We feed Sargento cheese, bags of shredded cheese, the Mexican
Speaker 6: cheese like to our families, our kids and all of that.
Speaker 4: They care.
Speaker 2: They care about capitalism, so you know, everybody's just trying

Speaker 2: and everything in the food. It's just the chemicals and
Speaker 2: all kinds of other stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just really, really horrible.
Speaker 2: So I like your UK sources.
Speaker 1: Though, thank you. I'll be back with more UK news tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I hope this ain't just London feeding you stuff. What London?
Speaker 1: Who's London anyway?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Porsche Williams.
Speaker 1: So I have a theory on what's going on.
Speaker 6: You know my opinion, O pushe is experiencing some type
Speaker 6: of car I'm right now, and I know she's gonna
Speaker 6: be mad, all right, Karma, Yeah, Falling Painter used to
Speaker 6: be you know, Philippin, I mean Felon will Body, You're right.
Speaker 6: She was married to Simon Goubadi before Porsche. Uh. Failing
Speaker 6: and Porsche were on the Real Housewives of Atlanta together.
Speaker 6: Most people believe that Porsche played Failing to get next
Speaker 6: to her husband because when they was introduced, Fallon brought
Speaker 6: Porsche to our house, right and whole time she was
Speaker 6: out to get her husband. Okay, okay, Now Porsche is
Speaker 6: experiencing the same thing. Porsche's the voice is with Simon
Speaker 6: even isn't even final? What the hell is y'all writing?
Speaker 6: Porsche's the voice with Simon isn't even final? And people
Speaker 6: are already connecting him to another woman, right, but now
Speaker 6: this has not been like, this hasn't been confirmed or whatever.
Speaker 1: He was on a boat chatting with a woman or whatever.
Speaker 1: But apparently that's his next victim.
Speaker 6: And this is a woman that a lot of people
Speaker 6: because he's not telling these women that he is a scammer.
Speaker 1: Okay, allegedly that's what you know with my sources. I
Speaker 1: feel like, but this is my thing.
Speaker 6: You was so happy to get married to this man
Speaker 6: or whatever, and you didn't find out what he did.
Speaker 6: Now I understand that's why she At first I thought
Speaker 6: it was for a storyline for her to come back
Speaker 6: to the Royal Housewives of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: But I feel like she she just didn't check. She
Speaker 1: didn't know. She was so happy. You know, they had
Speaker 1: like four or five weddings. We'll pay for that. You know,
Speaker 1: she's all she on vacation every week. Who was playing
Speaker 1: for that? You know, all types of stuff.
Speaker 2: Is going on.
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't like what did he do?
Speaker 6: Now he said that he works in oil and all
Speaker 6: of that, right, but it's just giving scam, all types
Speaker 6: of scam.
Speaker 1: And now that she's married for him and he's in
Speaker 1: all this debt.
Speaker 6: You know, No, I'm not gonna put because I'm a
Speaker 6: little bit of Nigerian too, and I don't appreciate you
Speaker 6: saying that. You know, but now that is coming out,
Speaker 6: he got all this debt and stuff. She's married to him,
Speaker 6: so she don't want any of her money being taken
Speaker 6: away and nothing like that. So she yeah, she bouched it,
Speaker 6: but she wouldn't be going through this had she gotten
Speaker 6: to know the man before she married him instead of
Speaker 6: just wanting to be in at lifestyle.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's what it is. So
Speaker 1: that's my thory in y'all. I don't have to say nothing.
