And you can't play with Boston tonight because even though Tatum is out, they still got a strong team and a long bench. Pause. Morning, baby. Good morning, y' all. All right, so let's get into this front page news. A judge in Wisconsin is pleading not guilty to helping a man evade immigration authorities. Now, Judge Hannah Dugan, she was in court yesterday. She was indicted on two counts of obstructing a federal agency and concealing an undocumented immigrant who had a criminal hearing in her courtroom. Now, Dugan was arrested by the FBI back in April. A federal grand jury indicted her earlier this week, and her trial is set to begin on July 21st. Now, according to the FBI, the man she was allegedly trying to help was previously deported in 2013, but he re entered the US illegally and was later accused of battery. Immigration officials had planned to arrest him after his court hearing, but agents say someone took photos of the arrest team and showed it to the judge while she was in court. And. And when that hearing ended, witnesses say the judge told the man to follow her and led him and his attorney out of the courtroom through a private door to avoid agents. Now, the man was later spotted in the courtroom. He ran from agents, but he was caught outside after a brief foot chase. Now, Dugan's attorney, where do you think he was going? They were surrounded. He wasn't gonna get far. Dugan's attorney said she's innocent and she was acting within her role as a judge. Her legal team is trying to get the case dismissed, arguing she has immunity and the arrest violates the Constitution. Did they have a relationship like her landscape or something? Her boyfriend? She just felt like a good Samaritan. I think it was just she wanted to be a good Samaritan, but you can't do that, right? You can't know that they're gonna pick him up and then, say, sneak out the back door. Cause if it would have been anybody else, they'd have got locked up. But this sets a precedent because when do you arrest a sitting judge in her courtroom? So that's what everybody's up in arms about, is that she's, you know, she's been arrested by the FBI. And so if she's convicted, she's facing two charges, one felony, one misdemeanor, and that is up to six years in prison. That is interesting because I'm just sitting There trying to think what was her plan? Like, where was she trying to get, you know, this, this individual to go? And was she. I don't. Would abusing her power be the right word? Meaning that she knows she is the judge, that she probably was thinking they're not going to arrest me if I, if I stand in the way. So I didn't think she was gonna get caught. She said, go out the back door. How'd he go? I just let him out this way. You know what I mean? Yeah. Through a private exit. Okay, so. And then I know you guys have been covering the Newark air traffic controller situation. And so There is a second air traffic control facility in the US experience that experienced about a 90 second communications outage this week. It happened on Monday at the Denver Air Route Traffic Control center, which manages airspace over Colorado and nearby states. Now during this out, as many as 20 pilots over the Denver airspace could not talk to air traffic controllers. Frank McIntosh, he is the deputy chief operating officer for the FAA. He testified yesterday at the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that one of the controllers main radio frequencies failed. Then they switched to a backup and that one failed too. For nearly two minutes, he was grilled by Rep. Hank Johnson about the shortage of air traffic controllers unless his listen to that exchange. How many people, how many air traffic controllers have left the system since January 20th of 2025? I'm not aware of how many have returned, but so could it have been a hundred? It could have been one. It could have been a thousand. It could have been 5000. No, maybe 2500 now 2000? I don't believe so, sir. I track how many air traffic controllers. Tell us how many have left their jobs since January 20th. I can't tell you that exact number. So I'm happy to come back. All right, so that exchange took place and that's after a news station in Denver, Denver 7 Investigates. They're reporting that the outage lasted six minutes and not the 90 seconds that the FAA is reporting, but six minutes, two minutes without that. Scary. Too much. There's not enough sense of urgency around this situation for me. Like either close new or gap put down for the time being. That was Denver. Oh, that was Denver. That was Denver. I saw that happen in Newark the other day too. Yeah, that happened in Newark the other day. That happened in Denver. That's. It's just scary. You're flying. But I wonder if this happened before and now we're just hearing about it more and more and more. Or is this totally new? Why aren't the airlines raising hell because then when something bad happens with one of the airlines, they're going to get the blame. So why. Why aren't they raising hell? Yeah, and they're also going to lose money, though, so. So it's all about money at the end of the day. So anyway, there's people with jobs at those airports, like. Yeah, that too. Yeah, that too. All right, well, that's front page news. We'll see you next hour, Mimi. All right. And everybody else, get it off your chest. Before that, I also want to tell everybody that engineers have been gone on strike this morning at NJ Transit. It's halting the nation's third largest commuter line.

Djmbcarshowgmail.com Kids five and under, free. It's a family fun event. Can't wait to see you guys. Yo, you. You can bring mountain bikes, too. No, he meant motorcycles. What? He said bikes. Harley Davidson. All right. What do you think? His mountain bike. That's too much. Yo, bikes is crazy. Motorcycles. Talk about motorbikes. Yes, motorcycles. Hello? Who's this? Yo, this is D. Jones from Philly. What's up, brother? Jones from Philly. What's happening? Hey, hey, Charlie. Look, this is all like. Y' all is Charlie Day. Listen, right, It's a hypocrisy, or however you say it, right, with the Central park five and three lane. Because when the guy that confessed, he said he did that he did this stuff to the jogger. What's the difference of introducing his. His new testimony and the bodyguards? You said the bodyguard. He should have said that during the trial. It's a huge difference because you actually have the person who committed the crime confessing. And now if the girl Kelsey came out and said, hey, I committed the crime, that it would be an equivalence. This is what you're doing is a false equivalence, Right? Yeah. Okay, right, okay. I agree with that. So what about right when you said, well, he'd been judged by a jury of his peers, so it said be retrial. That's like Trump saying the same thing by gay. Be judged by jury of the Paris. Why would we Go at it again. I'm saying that based off the due process and all the evidence that was presented, the simple question I asked was, if Tory Lanez and his attorneys knew all of that evidence was against Tory, why wouldn't he simply say, hey, Kelsey shot Meg? And why would Meg. What. What reason would Meg have to say, kelsey didn't shoot her? I mean, that Kelsey shot. Because, you know, it's about girl feminism and girl power. You know, I don't. I don't believe that. Hey, yo, but I love all of y' all, man. Lawrence, she's doing a good job with the trial. Jess is beautiful, man. I love y' all. Yes, sir. Have a good one, brother. Get it off your chest. 800-5851. By the way, we are. We are the only society that will ignore evidence just for. He says, she said. It's the weirdest thing to me. I was wondering how the bodyguard thing wouldn't be hearsay. That's what I said. Because he's overhearing a conversation, and we can't even clarify. I've been asking some people. They ain't answering me yet. But. But that's all it is. The bodyguard said he overheard her say these things. So as he said, she said, but you ignore all the evidence that was in court that took years and weeks to process to believe the bodyguard. You can still use that as evidence, but the court is over. So you'd have to go through so many procedures to even get back to that position, Appellate courts and all that people think it's gonna be. He's gonna be out tomorrow. You're right. But do you understand what I'm saying? I understand exactly. Evidence that took years and weeks of due process that people actually investigated and jurors took time to go through. But one bodyguard says, well, I heard. And now that's who. Y' all. Y' all. That's. That's so that y' all. These social media detectives are breaking it down for people, and people believe it. There's no facts. This is what they believe in. And they be talking like they know facts. It happens all day long on this day, and I wasn't there. So, I mean, listen, I don't know what happened. I'm just simply saying, why would you ignore the courts and all the evidence as opposed to, you know, why would you believe this one bodyguard who just overheard something? I. I agree. Do you just need facts? And speaking of facts, you was at the. The trial yesterday. Yeah. And a lot of facts are getting misconstrued or Something because the prosecution had Cassie looking crazy yesterday. I called you yesterday. I didn't even. I think so. I didn't get to. I thought that was the defense yesterday. It was a defense that she was speaking to. But I feel like the prosecution did not. They didn't. I don't know. For that to be the star witness. They ain't set her up the right way. They didn't prep her. They didn't. It was like there was things. You come back. Yeah, we'll come back. And there's a lot. Y' all. I have one question. Did he overdose? I want to know, could Cassie be charged? Because the way that they breaking this down, it seems like she was part of the. What you mean seems like she was G money that did his name. Yeah, that's what it seemed like. Okay, so it wasn't here. We was talking about it because I said that. I said, I feel like if she wasn't testifying for them, she would be sitting right where Puff is at right now. But let's talk about it when we come back. We got the latest alarm when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now we're about to get to the young lady who yesterday had, was wearing high heels, stepped over people, was videotaping questions all at the goddamn saying. Let's get to the latest with Laura. Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on this. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. So yesterday in court was Cassie's first day of cross examination. So that's where Puff's team gets to. To ask her questions about her testimony and just different things that they want the jury to be weird or to hear. Right. I don't know what the prosecutors are doing. They did such a good job the day before of laying out, you know, what they had and establishing why their charges make sense. Even though I don't think that it's as, like, gut wrenching as they've made it seem from all the indictments and stuff like that. But y' all, the way that Cassie was looking on that scene yesterday, first of all, they debunked so many different things. Just speaking to her credibility, right? Like not getting into, like, the forest and all that yet. Right. Just speaking to her credibility. Y' all know, on the stand the day, the day before, she told that story about Suge Knight and, and Puff and Drock allegedly grabbing guns and going to run into Suge Knight at Mel's Diner. And he left from a freak off to do that. According her. According to her, Right. So according to the defense team and the interview that Cassie did with the prosecutors before she got on the stand, like in the beginning of the investigations, that story was completely not true that she said on the stand the day before that. So how did they debunk that? So they basically asked her. They said, hey, you remember yesterday you testified that you stayed in your home and you were upset and a puff had allegedly left from a freak off and blah, blah, blah. Like they went down what she said, right? And she was like, yeah. And they said, well, do you remember they ran down the date, the date that you spoke to the prosecutors and you told them that you were forced to get into a car. You were crying, you were upset, but you didn't have a choice according to you. Right? Like you were like basically forced get in this car to go with them to run into Suge Knight. And she was like, I never said that. And they said, okay, well, we have the transcripts from your interview with the prosecutors right here. She looks at it, she pauses for a moment. She said, I don't know why this would say that because I've always said that. I didn't go. And I'm like, but it's a, it's an interview, you prosecutor. So it looks crazy. And they were just. There was so many moments like that where you shouldn't try to remember nothing when you was on drugs. Right? You trying to recall things when you're on drugs? No. Now let me talk about that because I, I thought about that too. Like, you know, she said a lot yesterday in the day before about how much they were using drugs. So some things may be a little hazy for her. She couldn't remember some of the escorts names that they knew that she had slept with. Right. So remembers escorts names? No, she remembered a lot of them because they were using. They were using a lot of them for a long period of time and taking them to different states. But drug use. So there was a time in 2017 where things were like super, super hazy. Right. And she on the stand said, I really don't remember much from this time because there was something else that they were talking to her about and she, it was just all over the place. And she wasn't sounding like she was telling the truth. So they're talking to her about the drug use. And the day before, remember I told you guys, they were asking her about the drug use and asking her how she would resupply on drugs, like, who gave her the drug dealers contacts and stuff like that. And she said, diddy. And when she said that, I watched Diddy in court look at her like, girl, what? Yesterday on the stand, they said, okay, so let's talk about your drug use, right? Because is it or is it not true that, you know, both of you guys were using drugs, but, like, Diddy was still able to run multiple businesses and, like, ran down a list of everything he was doing. He was more functioning. And she was like, yeah, I mean, you could say that. And then they go into having a conversation about the fact that at one point in time, Puff was calling drug dealers and telling them to stop serving Cassie because she was so bad off. Like, she was worse off on drugs than he was. And Cassie admitted that that was happening. The day before that, though, they painted it as if she was, like, lost in this whole, like, drug abuse thing that was caused and spiraled out by Puff. Yesterday, the conversation was, no, you were making choices on your own to the point where he was even having to intervene with some of her friends because he didn't like how much drugs she was doing. He was trying to, like, protect the way that they were doing. Like, they were doing their things right. But he was trying to make sure that it was, from what they're alleging, that it was a lot more safe and she didn't push back on. I thought they were saying. I thought. I thought Diddy's team was saying that Diddy was. Was also on drugs really bad. And they were trying to say that's why he didn't remember putting hands on her, but even said yes. So look, they never. And this is why they're. I'm saying the prosecution left their star witness out there looking crazy because Diddy's team has never ran from any of that. They have talked about his drug use yesterday. It did come up in court that he overdosed at this around the time that Whitney Houston passed away. Right. Was he rushed to the hospital when he overdose? Yeah, they said that they took him to the hospital. It was like a whole thing. They didn't go into a lot of detail about it. And I have been trying to get more information on that because for a lot of us in the courtroom, we were like, wait, what? How did this happen? How did he overdose? And the world never knew, but that's how bad their drug use was. But he was always able to, like, keep himself, herself together and not, like, fall off and able to, like, try and, like, go through, like, withdrawals and stuff to get off of it. She was having a bit of a harder time, from what it seemed like to the point where he was encouraging her to go to rehab. And she admitted she did go to, like, a wellness spa and things of that nature. But I think the reason why I brought that up is because Puff's team did try and use that as a defense. Right? And she tried to do that as well. But the way that everything is coming out now is really seeming like, okay, what we saw happen to her in that video and the other things that I know happened to her because we've seen photos of the bruises and things like that.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published and he was unlike any first time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted, has spent 24 of those years in jail, 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity, he was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show. Goboy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the dark, darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my spleen, break my rib. I had my guts all in my hands only to find himself back where he started. Roger's saying is, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one. Rod from Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts. Listen to GoBoy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, okay? But the way that they were able to almost humanize, like, okay, he had a lot of drugs in him too. If we're gonna give her a pass for, you know, being drugged up and, you know, not being able to make her own decisions, we should have that conversation about him too, is what they were able to accomplish yesterday and they used her to do it. That's what I was telling you, Lauren. You got eight weeks you're gonna go crazy because every day when the prosecution is on, prosecution is gonna say things that make sense. When the defense is on, the defense team is gon make sense. You're gonna be playing hopscotch. Like, oh, my Charlotte, look at this. I am like. I'm like. If I was a juror, I would be so stressed out. You should really do a book and documentary after this because you're there every day. Next question I was going to ask, could Cassie be charged? Will they Cat. Will they charge Cassie? Because from what you're telling us, it was like baby girl was the number two. She was number two. And she was told y' all that yesterday. Yesterday I said she was G Money Brown, the freak offs, and she allegedly supplied some of the drugs. That's what it seems like they're saying. So could she be charged as well? I had asked some questions about that yesterday to a source who told me that they heard that there were some conversations about immunity which would only make sense, but they can't. They can't 100% confirm it, but I'll have that by Monday. I got so many questions. You got to go. We gotta go. We gotta go. We can come bring. Bring it back. Kid C's call. What happened with Michael B. Jordan? Tell us. We got some more for the next hour. Jes. What? Jenna Jackson birthday, though, so happy birthday to the legend. Yeah, Janet don't want you mentioning her, right? Not right now. You can mention me anytime in a minute. You don't have to mention me right now so close to this store. You didn't have to do that. Oh, my. Who's that on your shirt? Wait, back up. Let me see your shirt. Who said on your shirt? That look like victim number seven? That was like the drug supply. That's who was supplying. This is the picture that Snoop posted. What's that on your head? Huh? What's that on your head? On my head? Yeah. What's that? Oh, it's my ponytail. My ponytail back then. I've come a long way. I want that in a large. You better have that in here next week. I got me one, too. Clip my ends. All right, now when we come back, Mimi will be joining us. We got front page news, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're like to enter the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news again. The Nuggets beat the OKC at 119, 107. They tied to series three. 3. And yes, my Knicks played tonight. So hopefully we can finish off these Celtics at home. What's up, Mimi? What's up, y' all? All right, so let's jump back into this. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The man tapped by Trump and House Republicans to lead the country's top public health agencies. He testified before Congress this week, and he made one thing clear, that he doesn't think Americans should take medical advice from him. At a House Appropriations Committee hearing earlier this week, Kennedy was there to explain why he wants to slash the budgets for major health agencies like the cdc, the nih, and the fda. But things took a turn when lawmakers asked him a simple question about vaccines, whether he would vaccinate his own kids against measles. Let's listen to what he had to say. For measles, probably for measles. I, you know, what I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant. And, you know, I don't want to measle seem like I'm being evasive. Yeah. But I don't think people should be taking advice. Medical advice from me right now. I got that. And I'm not asking you to give them medical advice, but would you vaccinate your child for me? Answer that question directly. That it will seem like I'm giving advice to other people, and I don't want to be doing that. I want people to make. But that's kind of your jurisdiction, because cdc, I mean, that's an honest answer because he's not a doctor, like, and you don't have to be a doctor to be the US Secretary of Health and Human Services. No, you don't want. If somebody asks you a question, will you. They just want your opinion. Like somebody says, do you give your kids whatever. Yes. Especially though, because he's telling other people to take vitamins. Right. But he's getting his kids the vaccination. So there's a, you know, that's, that's what the big problem is. So he never answered the question. He never answered the question. He also dodged the question about whether or not he should, if you should give your kids, like a chickenpox and all those other vaccines. So. But this is coming as the US Is facing the worst measles outbreak in years. And then he went on to claim that the CDC is doing better than any other country at handling it, which is very, very questionable. And so moving right along. So if you're a Walmart shopper, get ready prices on some everyday Items are about to go up this month. The company says they are feeling the squeeze from the rising tariffs on imported goods like electronics, toys, strollers, and even some food items. And they cannot absorb all the extra costs, so they're going to pass that on on to the consumer. The tariffs, they're of course, part of Trump's trade policies, which products from countries like China, Costa Rica and Peru. Now, even though some of the tariffs have been lowered, the remaining ones are still pushing up the cost of goods, and that means higher prices for you at the checkout. Now, Walmart says the biggest price change will hit late May and into June, though. Items again, strollers, mattresses, toys, mostly made overseas. Those will likely cost more. The retail giant said it's doing everything to keep prices low, especially on groceries. But the trade war is hitting the retail industry very, very hard. Wow. Yeah. Now, thank you, Mimi. Now you also have a podcast that you're doing, correct? Correct. Altadena with Love. Now break down this podcast and what made you want to do this podcast. So to Altadena With Love is like my love letter to the community of Altadena, which is right next to Pasadena. Most people have heard of Pasadena, but not a lot of people had heard of Altadena is which, which is literally right next to Pasadena. And the community of Altadena is a historic or was a historic black neighborhood that was burnt in the Eaton fire when, you know, in January when California was on fire. I went there as a journalist just to cover the story. And when I got there, I realized the devastation of the area. And what I realized was everyone looked like me. And these were a lot of older black families that lived in multi generational families that lost everything. And then when I started doing more research, I realized that this, this, this town existed because a lot of these families had, had moved there in the 1960s and 50s and they were redlined there. And they lost not only just their homes, but their community. And when you talk to them, when you talk to them, you find out that it was just more than, it was more than a structure, right? It was a thriving everyday community that was no longer there. And everybody, no matter what, though, when they lost everything, they were looking out for each other, right? They were not worried about, like, how am I going to survive? They were like, you know what, we've got to take care of our elderly and we've got to make sure that this community comes back the way that it once was. So for me, I wanted to document that. I wanted to talk about, talk to all the people, as much as many as people that I could, to talk to them and find out what this community truly means and how we can share this information with the masses. I wonder how recovery efforts are going. Like, is it slow because it was a black community? Well, you know, it's funny you say that because in episode I did a bonus episode, so in episode six, I talked to a council member and he says it's funny because when Trump visited California during the wildfires, he went to go see Malibu and he went to go see the Palisades. He did not come to Altadena. And so, you know, it's like the, the rhetoric behind Altadena was that it's, it's a historic black neighborhood and somehow it was skipped over. It wasn't. He didn't come see it. But the recovery process is underway. But there's still a lot of like insurance things and insurance companies not covering, it's too expensive. People didn't have insurance, lapse insurance. They didn't have insurance that covers certain particular fire. And, and what you have to remember is, like I said, spoke to someone in episode two whose house, he paid $33,000 for his house. His house is worth $2.1 million now. And so when you, when you buy your house for that much, and it's now when you need the insurance money, it doesn't cover that much. And so now you're stuck trying to figure out how to, how to pay for that. So they only want to give him 33,000. They don't want to give him what the house. They want to give them probably about 500,000, but the house was worth $2.1 million. So, so what do you do? You know, but I do just, you know, in this series, I wanted to humanize this community. It was really just a labor of love. I wanted the world to understand what this community is going through, and I wanted the world to understand that Altadena is, you know, it was one of, it was California's first black community. People think South Central or Baldwin Hills, but it was California's first black middle class neighborhood. It's crazy when you see stuff like that, it makes you wonder, was it a coincidence? You know what I mean? Like when you see them, you know, wipe out a whole community and then, you know, want to build high rises and make it hard for the people who lived in that community to come back, you just wonder, was it a coincidence? Right? And it's funny you said that too, Charlotte, because in episode three, we talk about this the disparities of when the alarm systems went out. If you. West Altadena was where the black people were redlined to. East Altadena is where the white people lived. When you look at the disparities, that neighborhood, West Altadena, they didn't get the notifications until 3:30 in the morning. Wow. But the east side, they got them at 7:30pm and enough time, enough time to prepare, to get to prepare. I talked to a lady who said at 4:45am she was, she woke up walking through flames trying to get out of her home. Wow. And she said she only, she could only muster up the strength because she didn't want her 87 year old father to find her in the home. You know, but the alarms, the systems didn't go off. And so, you know, there's a, there's a lot of, there's a lot of investigation that still needs to go on. Now, how can they hear more about your podcast and really dive into it? Absolutely. You can go to toaltadenawithlove.com for more information. You download it wherever you get your podcast and please just listen to it. I think it is, it is storytelling at its finest. It's not in my words. These are the community. These are, these are their stories. They're telling their stories. It's, I introduce some, you know, a little bit of educational impact before it. But then they come in and they tell you their stories in their own words of what happened. So it is, as I say, the art of storytelling. It takes you there. It brings you right into that moment, what they were feeling, how they remember their community and what happened that night to them. Wow. Mimi Brown, give me your Instagram and Twitter and all of that good stuff. Yes, my Instagram. Mimi Brown, TV at all socials. All right, thank you, Mimi, so much. And listen, you know, today's Friday, so It's the people's donkey. 1-800-585-1051. If you want to give somebody donkey of the day, call up now. The floor is yours. That's right. And also the cast of the Wire will be joining us next. Poop Boy Cody, We Bay Slim Charles. They'll be, we'll be talking to them Next. It's the 23 anniversary, 23rd anniversary of the Wire. And we'll kick it with them in a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We got the cast of the Wire. Well, some of them. Yes. I'm gonna say that names. You say their real names. All right, all right. We got poop. Trey. Oh, Trey Cheney, I gotta say. Okay. Trey Cheney, J.D. williams, Hassan Johnson. Oh, you wanted me to get that one because you wanted me to mess it up, he was saying. And Wayne. But it's on one, right? Welcome, fellas. How y' all feeling? We good, baby. Thanks for having us. 23 years, the Jordan year. Lord have mercy. What does that mean to y' all when y' all hear that? It's crazy to me because I always tell people, see, this is the first time in a minute we've been together and be doing an interview. But I always say when I get interviewed, I don't care what none of y' all say. We didn't know what we was doing. Yeah. Shooting that. All we was trying to see was whose call time was the next morning so we could go out and get something to drink, hang out for the night. I was on a continuous from Oz, so I knew we had something special. Okay, I had picked that up. I had picked that up. It was the first time, like, I'm looking at people that's coming up that I was watching they work the same way they was watching my work. Indeed, when I did Oz, everybody was already kind of famous already, you know what I'm saying? But when we got here, that made us. And I saw that work coming down. The thing with me, nobody don't know. The Wire was my first job as an actor. Actor. So that was my first time I ever auditioned for a role. First job. So just being around these guys, I'm like, yo, I remember asking JD A whole bunch of questions, bro, what is. What is a trailer? You know? What are you telling me to do, like, rehearsal? I'm like, all right. But, you know, like, I said, man, to be here 23 years later and still just getting to it, you know, everybody healthy living and breathing, you know what I'm saying? I mean, it's just. I'm glad people find it new every day. Day. Somebody find the show every day. So it don't really. The show more popular now, some years later than it was. None of y' all knew it was gonna be a cultural staple. I ain't know that when you moving around anywhere in the world, though, they know, you know what I mean? Like, somebody might just stop and say, man, run them lines real quick. They throw you. They quote your lines. You know what I mean? So it's like, yeah, you know, but it's like the study part of it. Like, when I first came on set. Trey tell you? We was right there. We was at Trella, and we was running lines, and Trish was like, what else you been on? I was like, this my first time out, Right? He was like, your first time out Where I say first time on the block? So we was shooting in the funeral home. Home in Baltimore. Like, broad daylight funeral home. And we was there. A lot of people don't know the 12 hours. 12 hours. Hard days, right? Turn around. Yeah, turn around. So we out there, we busting it, and we ran the lines. We were out there. It was raining. We take breakfast for lunch. It was just a family. And we still a family to the day. Yeah, man. Now, I want to start from the beginning. The Wire. So when y' all got the call to do the Wire, Break that down. When y' all first read the script, and how did y' all know that y' all wanted to do it? So they. I initially auditioned for we be. See, that's funny. Cause I got. Yeah, I initially auditioned for We Bay. And I remember going in there with Pat Moran friend out there in Baltimore, and she like, yo, quote this monologue. So two weeks later, I get a call. She said, we got some bad and good news. She said, the bad news is you didn't get the characters we, babe. But you was cast for the character poop. And I was only supposed to be in the first two episodes in the first season. And then, spoiler alert, you end up getting poop all five seasons. Last man standing. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I was just happy, you know, getting that script. And throughout the years, throughout the seasons, it never said I was getting killed. You know what I'm saying? Because that's the thing with the Wire. You never knew was getting off. They didn't tell you before. They were just. You get the script, and you read. That's like when Snoop shot at me. You know what I'm saying? They like, Poop falls to the ground. He's bleeding. I'm like, okay, this is it. This is it. And then I woke up. Take this into consideration, Trey. How you just said that. I don't know if y' all remember or not. The Y almost ain't even take off. Off. Yeah, because we auditioned before 9 11. 911 was shut down for three weeks. But the thing is, the callbacks was after they opened the city back up, Alexa Fogel office started calling us back. I forgot all about this. I ain't think nothing. So when I went in, I auditioned for d' Angelo. Oh, wow. Shout out to Larry. That's our brother. See down there? It was open, cuz Baltimore was open. We was turned out. So actually when I auditioned, I auditioned for Marlo Stanfield, Jamie Hector. I auditioned for Marlo. And then when I got the call, they called me back. I was actually coming back from Houston with Steve Francis. And I got the call. Pat was like, hey, baby, you up? I got good news. I got good news. And she gave. She was like, you just landed Slim Charles on hbo. And that was not character one. Slim Charge. Alexa told me, character one, that ain't it. She told me. She told me I was going to be bod. Like I said, I wanted to. I wanted to audition for d' Angelo because I was like, I just came from playing a tough guy for all these years, like, y' all going to make me worse than I was already. And then she was like, no, this your part. Read this part. Just go and do your job. I went in, came out, and they built on the character so much that I didn't know where it was going to go. But I'm glad we don't have saying. I think David Simon leaned over the clock and said. He leaned over the clock and said, wee Bay. And I was so hot. Cause I was tearing my up. I was in the zone. I caught myself like, yo, hold on, relax. But you know, when you in the room, that's your moment. Take it. You could go off in there. You go off as long as it taking or. So they threw me off, but I caught it. But that's what they were saying. Like, that's what it is. You're that guy. You're this guy. You're that guy. But you gotta get in character though. Cause like, I. That was my first audition. So when I read for Marlo, they was like, you know, come in, you don't care about nothing. Hoodie. So I threw my hoodie on, I went in there and read for it. And I was like, you know, you know, it was like, what's your name? I said, marlo. She said, what's your name? I said, marlo. She said, what's? I said, don't you understand? Like that? You know how much of the script was improv though? How much did y' all improv? Did y' all go off script? Cuz it. None of it seemed like. Not a lot. See, really, that's how ill it was. It was all on the paper. They would let me get away he would let me get away with a lot of stuff, like, But I would test it out first, right? Like, I would use it on one take, and then if they don't like it, they just say, don't do that. Yeah, they do. But then most of the time they say, say that again or do that. A lot of times I used to like. And that was because, also, so with the dynamic that my group, my crew had, right, we had this fill up kind of space, you know what I'm saying? We got Andre Royal Bugs over here acting up. Then we got us having this communication. Then we got the young boys. So it was always something in there. But most of the time, like you said, especially because we had to figure out that be more dialect a lot of times. How was that? That was hard. Grand opening, grand closing. We ain't doing it, I'm saying. So it's hard for, like, New Yorkers to get the accent. But, see, I'm from dc, so it's like the Chew, the Doug. You know, you can get into it. You know what I mean? Like a damn dj. Baltimore will pull your neck out if they know you faking it. You can't. You can't drag it too long with it. You just gotta do it. Like, see, like, even with New York, like, when I did the deuce. Yeah. I had to learn dialogue. You know what I mean? We shot that. We shot that in Brooklyn. Then we went to Silver cup in Queens, okay? So I shot that whole show, right? We was back there, we did it. And it's just like, you gotta sit outside in New York to smell the air, to know what a New Yorker go through, to feel it. You gotta get in that. Into that character method. So it's like, bam, it's right here. We here. What's next? I ain't wanna get stuck with that accent. I think that depends on the era of New York. You gotta turn it on and on, like, super New York. Yeah, we're still kicking it with the cast of the Wire. So what was it like filming in Baltimore? It was fun. No, that was fun. They got the food coming out. Meth was getting his head braided outside. They open you up, but when you messing that money up, they'll let you know. Man, y' all got going to block, yo. Yeah, like, really. They was, like, really serious. We went to shut down for a little 10 minutes. But, yeah, day one. Wasn't packing up, though. They weren't. What about sound like it was a rain? A little quick rainstorm. What about the rats? All of our food. Hold on, let me say this one time, the rats. The rats come out, they eat all our food up. No, we were shooting the scene. It was like maybe five below out and be more. Yeah. And we took a break. It was me, banger Felicia, couple of other people. And they ordered pizza. Yeah, bro, they had like 10 pizzas on the. It was like the pizza cold delivered to the. Jumped up on the table, knocked the pizza there. Everybody broke. Then they just came jumped on it. And my jumped on the joke. Knocked the whole boxes off. And then everybody just bumped big joints first. Big Ben, he jumped up and knocked everything down. Big Ben, my scene with the. With the shootout, when I shot Mike, know where he shoot me? Yeah, there's a rat running across the. In the background. Cuz I got scared to death like this and be more looking like dogs. No, that's true. Dog. Ain't no damn puppies. Did y' all. Did. Did y' all see. Did y' all recognize the greatness in Idris back then? Did y' all see where it could go or something like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because Idris was funny. I met him. Idris talking regular with a. With a regular accent this whole time, and got on the phone with his daughter mother and I stopped. We walking down the block. He just started talking that. That chatting started that London and I stopped walking. He finally looked back like, what? I was like, where you from? You over here acting like you from the. He was practicing on us. So I knew it right there. Like, yeah, one thing's. It was a scene where we did with me and him sitting in the car. It's the scene where a character does this with his. With my waist. And we were sitting in that car for a couple of hours and we was just talking. And I remember us getting to the point. I was like, yo. Cause he wanted to have this magazine in the car that I ain't gonna get too deep about it. They told him not to have it because of who was on it, right? So he was like, I'm going after this anyway. Anyway, we're gonna leave that alone. So anyway, we in the car and I'm like, you know, when you leave here, you. You gonna be that guy. Like, he like, well, I think a couple of us gonna do it. I'm like, yeah, but like, you kind of like right under Denzel looking like, yeah, right. Looking like you about to go to himself looking. He said, but it was crazy because when it was time for his character, you know, to happen, he didn't Want that. That morning? Because we was filmed. We filmed that whole morning. Morning. Yo. Right. Remember that whole morning came in the trail. They was like a cloud. He was mad. Stringer got killed off. Yeah. So he had no idea. He just found out. That one was pissed. Remember? We never found out until you got at the end. Cuz, look, we used to film. They do the tandems now. So they do these blocks where you can shoot two and three episodes in a way, week. We really shot the two week episode. So we started on a Monday and we wrapped the next week Thursday. And then it was a rehearsal Friday and back at it on Monday, 13 times. If they going to change something, they change it within that. But the thing is, look, when we wrapped on an episode, your new scripts in your trailer. The new script right in your trailer right there. So look, everybody started catching on to doing this. Y going out tonight. Somebody always was like, tough, bro. Whoever getting killed off that they ain't opening that door like, oh, that's what you. Michael scared. We taking you out tonight. Drinks on up. How did Andrews treat you all afterwards? He, like, distance himself from y' all after. Well, he was gone. Everybody's always reachable, bro. Yeah, we're family. That's right. It's just like the plate just get kind of thick and you gotta work. Like. We always talk, you know what I mean? We talk. We talk like, yeah, Interest. Did the intro for my documentary, Undeniable, the Trey Cheney Story, which all. All of us are a part of. And reaching out to him, it wasn't. It wasn't hard to, you know, reach out to him. Started together, you know, he might be across the pod, but him doing that, you know what I'm saying? It really was a good look for me. And Michael B. Jordan was a young kid at the time. Yeah, baby boy. I was working with him and seeing his success. Well, for me, I mean, me, him and JD Always was together on set. Even my separate scenes that I had with Michael B. Jordan, it was, you know, he was special. You know what I'm saying? You knew. You seen that earlier? Early. Yeah, yeah. I used to ride in the trailer with him and mom because I ain't had too many scenes with him, but I used to kick it with his mother. I love how family oriented he was. Michael, baby bro. Mom. Duke, I love you. I don't know where you at. He the one got him together. Moms was. Yeah. And it was. It was good money because like you said, he had a lot of big brothers to watch out for him and what he was doing, like the way me and him like he used to come come out with me all the time. She used to let him come out with me. I took him to Vegas. We went to Magic, you know, all the little places. Miam. The younger ones, right. And so we was always around, but we all got together and he came up with the right mindset and so he was like set up pretty good from. But when we did this, when we did the scene we took. Had to kill him. He thought he wasn't gonna never work again. Yeah, he says that. He says that he messed up. That he felt at that time to he. The man right now is crazy, right? Yeah, cuz he was messed up behind that. He was only on one season, right? He did one season. We smoked him in episode 12, right? Yeah, towards the end. That was the first season. Yeah. And we sat up, he started crying, we hugged him up, right. He said, look man, after this episode go off, they gonna be looking for your name in the credits. And nobody never gonna forget you. They always gonna be looking for you. Boom. Do you think the Wire could be made today in like the same raw way? Or would it have to be sensitive to death? Nah, cuz it wasn't in hd. But you know, literally speaking raw. But. But yeah, that too. Another city maybe. Not the white. Not Baltimore again. I think you would have to be a whole another city. I don't even think they let them be like they was. No how we were. It was original. It was too authentic. Like that and reboot to the Wire. What's your opinion on that? Spin offs of reboots or. But that's when you had said something else. Charlemagne. Where would you start? Envy. Where would you pick it up at? Michael K. Not here. Which I'm sure would be a real center stone. Yeah. Michael K. Right. That's who you would definitely have to have, right? Lance gone. There's so many people, right? A lot of our brothers. Even if you try to pick up off where it left off with. With. With. With Mac, right? With Tristan, right. When he killed Snoop, he was supposed to be like. You could follow him or you could follow Marlo wherever he gonna hide out, right? Yeah. Cause Marlo got out. I bought. I bought the connect at the end from Marlo went to visit him in jail. But it was crazy cause the whole pod was. When Prop Joe, you know, when meth, when he did that and I killed meth, killed Cheese, Everything was flipping around. Cause we had the co op. We was sitting in. It was all us at first, Bodhi, all us, we was together. And then everything just started spinning off people just like in my character. The character arc from going from the street. Yeah. I end up working at Foot Locker. So you never know, you know Foot Locker. So it's like a different city. Take somebody and move them to another city. Yeah. Come to Newark. Brick City. We're still kicking it with the cast of the Wife. Now, I gotta ask about this meme right here. We bait. You hate this meme? Do you hate this meme? I did used to hate it. Right. Because nobody understood it. Yeah, nobody understood it. But then it started catching on. Especially. Especially with the younger kids. I was like, oh, hold on. I gotta get my uncle on with the shorty. I gotta educate them. Yeah. To where that they'll be like, yo, that's you from the meme. But they don't know where it's from. Right. You know what I mean? I'll be like, oh, well, this is dopest show in the world. Not cause I was on it, but because it's dope facts. And then, you know, they go, check it out. It made it timeless. The memes just made everything timeless. Yeah, man. It don't get old. It don't get old. I can't front. I wanted to ask y' all, since y' all mentioned them, how did. How did the loss of Michael K. Williams impact y' all? Man, it was tough. I was mad. Hey, remember when y' all was on the balcony in la? So I was. Yeah, they was talking. We was on the phone, FaceTime talking. J.D. trey, Mike. And I had just talked to Mike two days before that. Cause he was like. Some people was looking for me for a role. And he was like, bro, we down here. You gotta get down here. Get out of that city. Come down. I was like, wow. He called me, bought another piece that they was trying to get me to work on with my band, Backyard dc. So after that, I talked to Trey and we was talking, and then I had just talked to him and Snoop in a hit. But that John crushed me. Yeah, it crushed me, man. Because I always say, though, bro, Michael K. Williams, he wasn't. Michael K. Williams wasn't an industry person. He was. He was more. So like, bro, how's your mom, dad, your wife, your kids? Like, he was that with him, man. And talking to him way before that he passed. It was just. You understand what I'm saying? Why you say they slimed him? What you mean? Well, like, the people that served him, they slimed because they knew what they was doing. They knew who Mike was and it was all out of bounds and anybody with a heart. That's why when they did catch up, caught up with him, I didn't feel bad at all. Have you ever looked around at your crew and thought, man, these are my people?

Rod from Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts. Listen to GoBoy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm under the jail. I know hustlers gotta feed their family, but y' all slime my bro. I want to ask you, how hard was it to break out of your wire characters when it came time to audition for other roles? Man, I'm tell y' all, man. The wire ended in 2008. I didn't work again what they would consider mainstream into 2015 when I booked Saints and Sinners, which was a six season show, a job but being, you know, what they call typecast or whatever. All right, I'm going in the rooms with the casting directors, with the directors, producers, but with me, not like booking certain jobs or whatever. I just started creating my own, you know what I'm saying? So when I started Cheney Vision Entertainment, my company, I'm partnering up with cast, like food with the camera, shout out to my brother. I'm producing my own films, Hidden Lies, Loving Larsy. I'm partnering up with people like Anthony Clark, Dana Freeman and we just doing, doing a whole bunch of like my own independent projects which is really, you know, what, what got me to the Place of booking what they consider mainstream. We own this city. BMF. Because I, I stood on the streets of Washington D.C. from 2010 to 2015, selling all of my independent films out the trunk of my car. That was something that most celebrities wouldn't dare do, you know? So it's people walking up like, man, you poo from the Wire. What you doing out here? I'm like, bro, the Wire was the Wire. And I learned, and I learned a lot black. But if we gonna sit up here and consider myself a working actor. Yeah, yeah, I'm out here. Yeah, I'm out here taking it back to the street. I'm pumping my own website, cheneyway.com. and then that led to my man George Pierre, who was casting for Saints and Sinners, Shout out to like, yeah, shout out George Pierre, man, cast me for Saints and Sinners, the Keisha Cole biopic. Bmf. Like, that's, that's our brother out there in Atlanta. But he called me one day like, yo, I heard what you're doing in the streets, man. Like you, you pumping your. Your own merch and your own movies out the trunk of your car. And I'm like, yeah, man. I mean, but this the way that I'm getting it. And I was like creating like really developing my fan base because people seeing like a celebrity out on the street, just getting to it, you know, it just helped me in so many ways. And now Envy. It's a role that. It's a role that I need to manifest. Listen to this. Thirteen years in the projects. My mentality is what, kid, you talk a good one, but you don't want it. Oh, you've been crazy. Sometimes I wonder. You just say you want to play happy. Sometimes I Wonder. I want 21. That's. That's his. But it wasn't you and JD gonna do havoc and Prodigy. Havoc gave me his blessing. Me and Havoc been talking for two and a half years. And you know, the press is running with it. TMZ and Rolling Stone. And like right now, bro, like, we've been talking and my thing is this, like just studying everything, like. Cause the project would have to be about what made them speak like this. Even if we all got an idea of why. Why they. They recorded these records or why they were speaking like that, it got it. It has to be the backstory, the mindset of why these 19 year old brothers were. Were. Were doing this. Have you read Prodigy, My Infamous Life? No, I'm. I'm gr. That should be a movie. Yeah, I got A chance to have lunch with. Lunch and dinner with Prodigy a couple of times. And I was in a bunch. And I was in a whole bunch of Prodigy videos. I know how Prodigy is, and I got a chance to kick it with him. He was a good dude. Real good dude. A lot of respect. So that's. That's. If that comes around, that comes around. That's on the table. Like. And like I say, man, I'm well prepared. Prepared. But I'm. I'm gonna bring this into fruition, man. That's why you gotta read My Infamous Life. You gotta get that. That's. That's the move. Yes, that's the Prodigy. More. The. More Prodigy. But you can't tell us. He don't tell his story without having. Of course, my last question. What do people still misunderstand about the Wire even after all these years? Best television show ever. Oh, no, that is. That is not a black show. Show. That's what I feel like. You know what? That's what I think, people. It's an American show. It's about America. It just so happened we telling the stories of mostly, yeah, black people, but it. It got layers. It's about the. How the street affects the police, the police affect the politicians, the politicians affect street education. So that's what it's about. People coming in. Everything that that show taught you, everything the wives taught you, everything about what you need to know about life. And then also, you ain't your brand, right? Is that backyard? This is the backyard. We had the roost picnic the 31st. Well, June 1st, the roost picnic, and then we had the cousins festival with Pusha T. I'll be there in June. Yeah, yeah.

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she has facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. What was the mester. The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right, so a big part yesterday was them going through text messages. The defense attorneys, because they were right now they are fighting to prove that Cassie was a willing participant in the freak offs, that there was no force, there was no caution. So they going through these text messages. Basically, it was a ton of them. And she's in the text messages saying she's down for the freak off. Also, she's in these text messages. Messages planing like, you know how she said Puff was the ultimate choreographer of these things. She's giving very much. Lorianne Gibson, she was choreographing her dang self in these text messages. So what they did was which I thought was like, again, brilliant. And it blew the prosecution's setup up the day that Diddy and Cassie got into that fight at the Intercontinental Hotel. The video that CNN dropped when the prosecution presented the narrative around it, like, okay, let's give y' all some background info. They only use, like, three texts from the day of March 5th. The defense attorneys was like, let's go back to March 3rd, and let's lead you into where the. The prosecutors. Y' all talked about text messages. And that was 2017, right? 2016. 16, yes. So in the text messages, Cassie and Diddy are having a conversation days leading in, and, you know, she's. They're like, sexting. And a lot of the explicit text messages they wouldn't read in court. So I don't know exactly what she was saying, but they were sexting a bit. She sent, I believe it was four or five sexual text messages. Like, she's initiating. That puff is really on some. Like, I'm. I'm proud of you. Because she did have that big movie premiere coming up. So he's like, yo, I'm proud of you. You got this weekend coming up. They talking about, like, accessories for her outfit. And then she's like, so it gets to the weekend, right? It gets to the day that they did that freak off. And she's trying to figure out what her plans are. And he's like, okay, well, I'm down to do whatever you want to do. Let me know what you got going on. So she's like, I want to see my baby. And then, then they start. And now they're having a conversation about the freak off. And he's telling her, her, since you want to do this, you plan it. Call the guy from the. The male escort service. They were using cowboys or something like that. And grab. Get who you want. You set up how to. How. How this one is going to go. He even said to her in text messages, like, if you want, we could sit back and just watch. Like, we don't have to even participate. And they asked her, but they was like, okay, so what does that mean? Like, sit back and just watch. There were also text messages from another time. So that created a whole different narrative around that. Right, right. But there were also text messages. Remember, she talked about being forced to do it on her period and stuff like that. There was text messages where she mentioned being on her period. And he didn't force her to do anything on her period. He kind of, like, backed off of it. He was like, okay, bet, like, cool. The text messages that they showed yesterday in court, that. That whole force, that coercion thing, it blew that up. No, I. Listen, I'm just being objective here. Right. Diddy's legal team has already conceded to some aspects of his conduct. Yes. 100. So they're just trying to say in regards to Cassie, it wasn't coercion, it was consensual. Correct. Now those text messages go all the way back to 2009. Yes. Right. And they. Even before they. They had like 2007. I think it's something. Okay, so the ones that are from 2017, all Cassie is going to say is that she said whatever needed to be said because if she didn't comply, he would beat her up or be violent to her. She already admitted that she loved him. She said she also was afraid of him. That's typical in an abusive relationship. 100%. It shows that she was involved and that she wasn't being forced. But I think they. But what if she was afraid when she takes the stand. Next time she takes the stand, when she texts Tim to ask about it, I think it's gonna show that she wanted to do it just as much as he wanted to do it. No, but she said. She already has contextualized that. She contextualized that her first couple of days in court by saying, I did whatever I had to do and said whatever I had to say in order not to. To get my freaking get face. But I think. I think so, seeing that. And that's what I'm saying, because like, for instance, there was one text from 2009. That's the one where she says I'm to correct it. That's the one where she directly says I'm always down to freak off. And then later she talks about how she wants it to be like she wants it dirty, like she wants it aggressive, she wants it whatever so that. You know why they did that? Because they're trying to show if he was aggressive at all. She asked for that, but she was down. Yeah, but I just think that, like in the. In the text messages leading up to that intercontinental video, he was so gentle in the conversation, like, there was no. She didn't want another women. A woman in that position. She didn't want him with any other woman. She wanted to be the only woman. Yeah, but see, but the Cassie thing, you know, I don't think it's gonna be an explosive as dawn and James Cruz. Right. And the reason I think Dawn Richard, because they both announced yesterday they're gonna be on a witness stand, is there was no that we know of relationship. So this is straight off of there is no. I don't there's no. You might find out why Q was crying in that Vlad TV interview. Right? And same thing with James Cruise. James Cruise was the man manager. Yo. So the fact that the prosecution is. Is calling James Cruz and the fact that the prosecutor Cassie said that James Cruz and Drock cried one time when they saw her get beat up. But listen, can it get more explosive than on the nipple? Another man, the oil being warmed up. Yes, because Dawn Richards was there and she has. There's no love for him. She. So she's not letting anything back. I'm sure Cassie's still being a little sensitive, but James Cruz, Cruz and Dawn, those are the exposures. Lauren, you said something and James Cruz was his ex manager something. Right? You said something about, you know, Diddy was being gentle in text messages. That means nothing. Because we saw the hotel video. So you can be gentle in the text message. Right. But then in person. No, no. The only reason I brought that up is because we saw the hotel video. But when Cassie talked about the hotel video in court, the way that she framed how the lead up to that was like, even their interaction action while she was on stand. She did it came off as very much like aggressive. Oh my God. I'm just here. I don't want to be here. My body is being like used, bruised and like. Like almost like literally like a sex slave almost. But then you see the conversation and he's like, we shouldn't do the freak off because you got this big movie premiere. We should. Let's start early so you can get some rest. You gotta take it. Basically, he's trying to look out for her in that situation. She wanted to do the freak off right before she went to work. Yeah. But he kept saying that. He was like, too bad you got work. Too bad you got work. We should do it early. You should get rest and. But her narrative was completely different. Even though we. That video, it just makes you think like, I'm confused because they also brought in basically, what's your motive? Is it vengeance? Because she. They. They read another text about Kim Porter. Cassie was upset that she never got to spend holidays with Diddy, and Kim Porter did. And it was apparent that she felt the way about the woman, Gina, which is what broke up their relationship. Relationship. Michael B. Jordan got some strays in here. So they had a meeting with Kid Cudi before they blew up a car. Allegedly, they. They went to dinner with Kid Cudi. Puff set them both down and wanted to have a conversation about the relationship. They brought that up yesterday because they, she made it seem like he sat them down because he's big bad Puff trying to scare him. Defense said, no, he sat y' all down because he introduced y' all. He felt the way about that. He put you in the studio with him and then you start, you go grab a burner phone and start dealing with him. Of course he gonna sit y' all down. The kid Cudi say in that meeting, well, why you burning my car? No, he, he, the car thing hadn't happened yet. He said, what about my car? Because I think Cassie had kind of warned him. Like he said this is going to happen. And Puff was like, I don't know what you're talking about. What car? I guarantee you today all the prosecution is going to say they're going to ask Cassie questions and Cassie's going to say she told Diddy whatever she needed to tell him because she was afraid. 100 as I guarantee 100 as she probably possibly doing. She money didn't want to be down no more. You know what I mean? And when he didn't want to be down no more and started doing his own thing. Thing. But my thing is penalized because she was down at one point. Who's a light skinned. Who's a light skinned cute accountant though you. The tapes ain't come out yet. We got eight more weeks, baby. We got eight more weeks. You hear me, Lauren? Huh? My thing is will she be penalized because she was down at one point? That's what envy is kind of asking. At one point I asked and I was told that they. That there's rumors that there were. There was a conversation about immunity with her, but I'm going to try and get some more complex confirmed information on that. Cuz I keep saying that like she. Yeah, she's. She was complicit at some point. Okay, all right. Well when we come back, we got Donkey of the day. 800-585-1051. Charlemagne. Yes, today is the people's donkey. So if you want to call in and nominate somebody for donkey of the day, the floor is yours. We'll do that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own.

Good morning to all y' all. Love you, too. Love you, too, girl. Good morning. Who's this? Good morning, Tario. What's up, Charlemagne? What's up, Envy? What's up, Jeff? Good morning. Peace. Tario, who you want to get a biggest he haw to this morning? You, Charlemagne? No. Okay. Damn. All right, look here, man. All this week, it been a good week, but you be dogging Laura out, man. Her name is Lauren, not Laura. Lauren. How do I dog her out? LL Cool Baby? Cuz every time she do a segment, she can only say half of it. Then you interrupt the whole upper half, man. I don't think that's cool, because we be into what she's saying. And then you keep interrupting her, and then you keep messing with about her wigs. You a bully, Grunt. First of all. First of all, big bully. Thank you, sir. First of all, I actually complimented on her. Her. On her hair yesterday. I told her that her bob looked good, but then Envy jumped out the window and was like, nah, you killing it. And I was like, don't od. You wilding. She's not killing it. Okay, okay, now, as far as the interruptions, we're having conversations, I'll be having questions, that's all. But you got listeners that want to finish hearing what she's saying. Okay, yes, sure. But you so worried about my lace, that ain't going to change. Good morning. Who's this? Good morning. This is Tammy. How are you, Tammy who you want to get the biggest he haul to this morning? Actually, I want to give it. It's a blanket. I want to give it to my melanated unhealed women that keep allowing our melanated brothers, men, fathers, uncles, sons coming into our homes. And you want to treat them like saka. Treat them like what? Treating them like, oh, got you the X words. Got you like the world is beating our melanated men up like crazy. And I'm so tired of hearing them speak their silent tears because what I do as a profession, I speak to melanated men daily and their homes of their melanated women. That's in their life or is not a safe space. So women, get it together. If you are melanated, this work was already beating them down. Cut it out. So it's a blanketed for all of y' all that are unhealed and keep bleeding on men that didn't cut you. I agree with that wholeheartedly. And I think it. I think it goes both ways.

Well, east side golf is coming up. When we. When we come back, 800-585-1051. We have Olajuwon Ajanaku and Earl Cooper. They'll be joining us. Okay, okay, okay. I don't be high all the time. Eastside golf. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes. We have Olajuwon Ajanuku. Did I say that right? Okay. And Earl Cooper. Welcome, brothers. Doing good, Elijah. When I always hear your first name as a last name, I've never. I've never met an Elijah 1. Who's Elijah 1 was the first name. That's because of Hakeem. Hakeem. Yeah. I was born in Houston. I was born in Houston, but my family was a big rock. They were both big Rockets fans. And, yeah, just one thing led to another. First name is. Well, last name is not first name. Got you. So it's named after Elijah. That was. I was my father. He was born in South Michael, Memphis, and he changed his name during the Black Panthers when he was about 24. Changed his name from Robert Rutledge to Kwame Ajanaku. And Now I'm Elijah1 of Jonaku. Yeah, they want the slave master name. What's Your ancestry? Yeah. 40% Nigerian. Okay, okay. But it's. It's a Ghanaian name. Yoruba. But. But it's a split in between the two. They were just big Houston Rockets fans. Dope, dope. And then when I first met Earl, I didn't realize that I never met a young Ear Earl before. That's a name you got to grow into. Yeah. Yes, definitely. You ain't grow into it yet. You still look too young for Earl, but all right. I got a son on the way. He gonna be Earl, too. Oh, okay. World needs another Earl. I mean, DMX made it a classic name. Earl Simmons, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right about that. So how did you guys get into golf? What made you say golf is a sport that I want to do? I want to try. I love and talk about that. Your passion for golf. Yeah. Friend of the family introduced me to the game. I grew up with his sons playing golf. We all end up getting golf scholarships to college. But the thing was, we ended up playing basketball and golf growing up, so we were really competitive. And it was just on the east side of Atlanta. I mean, it was a way to stay out of the streets for real. Like off Boulder Crest Road, you know, east side. It was tough, but right when I leave, because right when I leave the golf course, I mean, the hood is right there. But when I'm at the golf course, like, it was positive influences. I went to the golf course. I didn't really have that as much as home, as much at home, but why not go to the golf course and actually get that? So judges, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, these are the people that I'm looking up to. Like, how are these people at 11am on a Tuesday, just out and about doing their own thing? And now it was golf. So I just wanted to be a part of that and have that to be a part of my life. So that's what really just pushed me to it. Yeah. And you're from Delaware? Yeah, yeah, I'm from Delaware. Delaware. Really? Yeah, yeah. I didn't know people really was from there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Until I met Lauren. I told you that. How long? Two of us, two black people. But she played golf too, right? Yeah, yeah. I started playing golf at the age of six. Inner city youth golf program. It's called the LPGA Urban Youth Golf Program. And my parents just signed me up. Like, nobody in my family play played. And I often like to say I'm happy that my dad didn't listen to a six year old, because left up to me, I was like, I don't want to do this. You know, where are all my friends? Where everybody looked like me, but he kept me in it. And then at 13, I ended up winning the Golf Channel drive Chip and putt, which is like a free trip to Disney World. I was on tv and I'm like, man, if every golf tournament like this, I'm ready to practice and you know, was fortunate enough, Olajuwon and I, you know, had a golf scholarship to Morehouse College and played on the golf team there. And that's where we met. Break that down for me. You said it was called the inner city. It was called the lpga, which is Ladies Professional Golf Association. So they had a ladies major event in Wilmington's called the McDonald Championship. And they created like a non profit off of that. And it was that urban youth golf program. So again, just trying to get young kids involved in the game. And then for us, I'll say that's what also kind of helped shape our point of view. Like, because everyone's like, well, how did y' all get here, here? And these programs are great, but you need an evolved adult, right? Like all of you all have kids. So you're not just gonna drop, call it a 10 year old off at a golf course, right? The average age is a 50 year old white man, right? And then you come back like, what happened? Right? So it takes an evolved adult. And that's one of the things that we're always constantly encouraging people like go with the kid. You know what I mean? Whatever that may be. So a lot of our focus has been on young professionals, not necessarily just the kids because we don't even make kids clothes just yet. I wonder how much Tiger woods made people feel like influence people. Yeah, influence people to touch, reach out to young black kids and try to get them involved and go. I mean he was, yeah, everything for us, like coming up, Tiger woods was, you know, he dominated it. He made us want to watch it, you know, you want to be just like Tiger. When I, I mean, the catalyst for me, when I was 13, actually I was playing golf at. It's across from East Lake Country Club in Atlanta where they hold it to a championship. Y' all definitely gotta come out for that. But across from there, Charlie Yates Junior Academy in 2001 actually got sponsored by Nike to go up to Chicago. I got a 30 minute lesson from Tiger woods and Earl woods at the time when his father was still here. So I mean, ever since then I just been on it, you know, I've been hungry for the game. I mean, everything that it entitles as far as like gives you, you know, and just the people that it surrounds you, that surrounds you because you play it. So yeah, it's done what wonders for me. But what made you all want to stick with it though, right? Because I know you said if you, when you were six, you wouldn't want to do it. It's born. That's the first thing that, you know, people argue and if they say about it, what made y' all want to stick with it? Y' all actually have a golfing brand, like where people are buying these. Y' all got stores about to open up and airports and everything. Y' all still about to have y' all peril and what, Nordstrom or something like Nordstrom's right now? Yeah, right here. York on 57. What made y' all want to stick with that? You don't really see a lot of us in golf, right? Yeah. So honestly, for me, golf changed my life. I mean, as far as temperament, resilience, you know, I mean, everything that I am, as far as like, just hard work and structure. I mean, because when you look at golf and every shot that you take in golf, it's individual, you know what I'm saying? You can't look at the entire thing. Thing is you get lost. But that's just like life. You gotta take it one step at a time, a day at a time, you know? And golf just taught me to be really. Have you ever looked around at your crew and thought, man, these are my people? The ones who turn the smallest moments into memories you'll be talking about for years. The folks who show up when you need them and make your life so much better. Well, you can make those moments even sweeter because Chera Coke is back.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published and he was unlike any first time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted, has spent 24 of those years in jail, 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity, he was an adrenaline junk and he was the star of the show. Go Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my spleen, break my rib. I had my guts all in my hands, only to find himself back where he started. Roger's saying is I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one. Rod from Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts. Listen to GoBoy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Really intricate on each single detail and that's a literally just relate that over to my professional career as far as corporate finance when I was in that about to become VP of sales over to here, running a business, you know, there's steps to it and you have to build systems to be successful. Successful. And it's crazy. I use all of those things from golf to relay it onto my business in it. And it's. And it's been working. When do you take the step to be professional as far as a golfer? Right. You know, you see all these people, everybody's into golf and. But when is it professional? And break it down a little bit. Like, we all know basketball, we know there's a draft. We all know football, we know there's a draft, we know baseball. You go into the D league or the farm league as they call it. So how does golf work when it comes to that? Because you were a professional one time. So I'm a PGA professional, so. So PGA professionals are the men and women. We're experts in the golf business. So at every golf course there, there's a person that managed that and so more. That's what I did. So you get your PGA certification. It's 28, 000 PGA members across the country. Out of that 28, 000, there's roughly like 300 African Americans. Right? So the number is, is, you know, that's less than half of 1%. Right. So there's definitely a lot of work to be done there. But that's what I'm considered a PGA professional versus Elijah one. You want to explain? Yeah, I mean, the reason that I started this brand was, I mean, back when I. After I graduated from Morehouse, major was accounting, minor in finance, I turned pro in golf. I did that for a couple of years, won a couple of mini tour events, but got to a point I just couldn't afford it anymore. You know, taking a buy jobs, cart boy, caddying, like hustling, however I can get it to fund my golf career. Last time me and my mom got an argument, she was like, yo, it's about that time you get a job. You know what I'm saying? And so had to stop that and I started my finance career. I was in commercial finance for about 10 years. But it got to a point, like I said, I wanted to play professional golf, but I knew it'd be hard to find sponsors. So to your point, the only way to turn pro is to have sponsors in the game. You gotta be good enough where sponsors find you. Absolutely, absolutely. And it's full circle for me actually. I'm turning back pro and golf in June. That's the reason I started the brand Because I was like, if I can't find any sponsors, why not take the entrepreneur route and sponsor myself? So now I have, you know, Southern company in Georgia Power being one of my. One of my sponsors for professional golf, along with a couple of other companies in Atlanta. But it's. I mean, the whole thing is sponsorship is dollars. If you can raise that and that company can see what they can. Can really get out of you, where it comes to, like, a certain type of customer or a certain type of feel, they'll pay you for it. All right, we got more with Eastside Golf when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Eastside Golf. Olajuwon, Ajanaku and Earl Cooper, Charlemagne. I love both of y' all. I love y' all stories because y' all represent present. I like when people get into an industry and they show all sides of the industry, because when I hear PGA Professional, I'm thinking, that's a player, right? Somebody who does the business. Yeah. And that's. That. That's like, damn. There's so many different ways for us to be involved in this. In this sport. Yeah, no, I. I completely agree. And I feel like that's one of the things that I'll say really just excites me about our business is the fact that we're having an impact on the sport without actually playing it. Right. And so it's kind of like. Like a basketball analogy would be like, we working in the front office. Right. And so we're getting everyone excited and bringing everyone along with us. Right. Like, when you think about when the brand started, it was right before COVID And then, you know, our first viral moment was Chris Paul wearing it head to toe when he was a player, when he was the president of the NBA Players Association. The night of the boycott, the event that happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin. And so, like, that's. That's how we kind of went viral, but it was through basketball. And then from there, you know, we got hooked up with Michael Jordan, and we've had, like, CC Sabathia, Victor Cruz, you know, Pekas, Steve Stout, like, you name it. All of these guys are like, we see exactly what you guys are doing, right? Like, you are bringing in people into the game, culturally relevant. And in a way, like, our tagline is, you know, be authentic. So that's. That's all we require. Let me ask you A question. I can think of times, right? Like when I was younger, younger, you know, me and my now wife walking into, you know, restaurants in South Carolina, seeing nothing but white people in there, nothing but white people working there and saying to ourselves, yeah, this ain't for us. And I remember one time in particular, you know, we went to one, and it was like, oh, no, we leaving. And the waitress was like. The woman at the door was like, why y' all leaving? Because too many white people. And I was like, yeah, the golf course probably is 10 times as intimidating as that, just because it's like, we don't see each other out there. So. So if a couple of guys just pull up on the golf course, are they going. Are they going to be welcomed? Yeah. I mean, well, so they have private country clubs, and then they have municipalities, as he once said, public parks downtown. Would you pay your tax dollars on? That's what we need to be starting. A lot of those. A lot of those golf courses are definitely welcoming. They know it's your first time coming out there. And on top of that, you know, some. Some of these golf courses have bucket of balls, might be 12 bucks, and play it against sports and balls. Yeah, pause. Play. Pause. What's wrong with y' all? Grow up. Y' all problem. Y. What is your problem? Yeah, yeah, golf balls. Oh, man. Continue. So downtown, bucket of golf balls might be 12 bucks, but then you can go to play it again, sports and get a whole thing of clubs. 14 clubs for a hundred dollars, 125. And this is an investment. Investment, you know, like, whatever. And I see this all the time. Whatever you do with your life, I don't care what you do. If you play golf, it will increase that revenue. It will increase whatever opportunities you have. Why so many different types of people play golf? I mean, I've met guys that, you know, own movie companies, guys. Investors out in Palo Alto. I mean, all the way over to being at Liberty National. The fireman family that sold Rep Bop. You know, all of these different types of people play golf. Doctors, lawyers, these same type of people that I grew up seeing. But the connection that they have in their circle, I mean, if you play golf, you can go out, oh, let me invite my guy. All of a sudden, you got to force him. Three, four guys out there playing golf, and you don't know who it is, you know, relax. Are sensitive. You said force them. Everybody trying to figure out, wow, Yes. Y' all don't have gay ears. Yes, this guy has gay ears. I'm. I'm listening to you. Cuz I'm. I'm intrigued by what I. Gay whatsoever. No, I've heard that before. I've heard everybody say that. You know, they golf because it's great for networking. And, you know, I've golfed once. I was terrible at it. I got frustrated. Yeah. But. But it's a time for men to do something we don't do do, which is talk. Yeah. You know, for a long period of time. It's good bonding for men, I think. Yeah, yeah. No, I agree. I think on the golf course, though. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Nah. And it's funny you said man, because we actually, we're doing a campaign featuring Justin Tuck just talking about fathers, because a lot of times, again, you're talking about that opportunity to bond and like, it's a great sport, like to just go out there. And a lot of times that's a. That's a man's hobby, you know, I mean, we definitely support the women to get out there as well. And I, I agree that golf can be intimidating. Like, look, I was the first African American golf professional at two golf courses that were over 100 years old. Whoa. So 1899, Detroit Golf Club and Wilmington Country Club in Wilmington. I started out as a caddy there. Right. So like, used to dream of going in the clubhouse. Like, man, like, what would that be like? And, you know, the point. And I feel like the reason why I took both of those roles was simply because here's an opportunity to reset the stage standard. Right. They don't know. They've never even interact with someone at that level in that position. And so it's important that we do go and kind of push through that uncomfortableness. And that's kind of what I'm saying, where as an adult, if the adults can go, we know it's just gonna. They're gonna look up to you, you know, and so if they see you doing. The goal for us, we don't want it to be a shock when we show up or minorities show up, show up, and they're playing golf. We want that to be normalized. Right. But that's up to us to normalize it amongst that generation. Just like we normalize everything else. It could be something as simple as, like, going to the movies or every summer y' all go to this place, whatever it may be. It's just normal. Just, you saw it. And so that's the thing. Our goal is that we want this next generation to really say, you know what, I may pay golf once or twice a year. And I'm cool with that. But at least when the opportunity comes. Drums. We're not sitting on the sideline. That's what's up. How can they find. How can they go to the site if they want more information? Yeah. Finals on EastsideGolf.com we actually have a tick tock at Eastside Golf. And our Instagram is at Eastside Golf. Yeah. And then go download our app as well. We got a really dope app. We have a lot of exclusive product on there. Merch, shoes, everything at Eastside Golf, man. Respect to y' all brothers and everything that y' all have built, everything that y' all are building. This is a very, very, very inspiring man. And now we got to get y' all out on the golf course. That's the next thing. That's the next. That's the next thing. Yeah, she was. She was in Baltimore holding it down. Yeah. I feel like God is calling me to learn. I tried it one time, but, man, I swung at that ball like, 30 times and couldn't hit it. And just, like, I'm just gonna ride around with y' all. Yeah, well, we got a professional coach right here, so. We got you covered. Let us know, man. Want to get y' all out there. But, yeah, it's a great, like, family atmosphere, too. Like, that's like, my son plays my son. I played in college, and I stopped since college, but. Okay, okay. But it was one of those things. We go out there, we drink, and we have fun, talk, and then come back to go to class. But in Hampton. But my son actually plays. And I was like, I gotta get back out there, but just having a time, so understand. The time is definitely a thing, but it's just so worth it. We go to topgolf with you, which is like, top golf. That's top. Top golf. Top golf off. Yeah. Much success to you. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious.

Let's start with get to it from Ian and Nino Paid, I want to say, if that's what your generation considered slow. Y' all need to stop doing so much. That wasn't actually the slow One. Oh, but what do you think? That's hard. I like it. Cool Little bop. It's YM music. I wasn't sure if you guys are like that. Okay, cool. The slow. The slower record I meant to actually start with is from Planet Gizza, and it's called Elevator. I like that. I like that vibe. Is that masego on the instruments or. No, Masego. Ain't that some stuff? People using the G Skinny. No, he's not a jazz artist, but he plays basically every instrument. Yes. And he does a lot of instruments. A lot of instruments for people. But what. Who's that again? Planet Giza. I like that. Yeah, don't start. Don't start. It do sound like someplace videotape you, right? You want to take a trip to Planet Gizzle? This next record is Boss Man D and Gucci man with Hitler Lot. Yeah, see, that's Y and O music, you know what I'm saying? Like, Gucci going home at 11. Boss man gonna stay out. But Gucci, they gonna kick it from about 7 to 10:30. Gucci, probably. Yeah. It's good balance, you know what I'm saying? I knew y' all would like that one. I'm glad. Video's dope, too. Yes. And then the last one is Lotto with somebody. She's been teasing this record for a while, but it's finally out. I like that, too. That's dope. As it went on, I liked it. Yeah, she was spitting. It's different for Lotto. I ain't never had. It is kind of poppy.

You said she was signed. I Googled and Google said she was signed when she signed before. Right. And now she's not. She was signed before. She was signed before. But then once you said that, I was like, dang, maybe she got resigned. So then I didn't say anything. I thought you said not yet. I thought you said not yet. Last week about Leia. Yeah. Last I knew, she was not signed. She was signed, but she's not anymore. She's independent now. Yeah, she did a whole. Whole video on. It's been going up, man. Love her. Love her so much. All right, yo, what is the name of that gizzard joint? Elevator. Elevator. Okay, cool. Yes. All right, well, thank you, Nyla. Thank you, guys. Have a great weekend. Be safe. Okay? You too. All right, everybody else, the People's choice mixes up next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up, wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We gotta salute the cast of the Wire for joining us today, man. They celebrate three years, man. They. Jordan. Yeah. Why? I just don't. What couldn't be done with the Wire. Like, I feel like the Wire need to have like a. A documentary, maybe a. A reunion. Yeah, definitely a documentary. Yo, but they can't do a spin up. They can't. I don't want them to mess it up. Like, the blueprint was. Was great. Now, remember a couple years later, a show called the Corner had came out, right? And I felt like they tried to do the same type of thing. It didn't really stick for me, but we've seen that try to be done over and over. It just. It don't come close. So I think a documentary would be the right thing. I mean, yeah, I do think that ship is sailed, but I do think back in the day, why is spin offs would have worked if they would have kept, like, the same writers, the same producers? Because they could have created their own world because they were going to different cities. Yeah, just like the Power Universe thing. Like, plenty of those guys could have left, set up shop somewhere else that lives, you know, they could go back to that, though, because so many people are intrigued with the street lifestyle and selling drugs and all that. People love seeing those type of things. Those movies do well, those shows do well. You go to another place, like, you go to dc, you go to Detroit, you go to maybe New York. You go to, you know, a small town somewhere where, you know, that we might not know. Maybe like Charlotte said, though, it got to be written, right? The dialogue got to be exactly the streets, like, exactly what it really is. Yeah. All right. And also Eastside Golf for joining us this morning. Man, I. I Am really inspired by what them brothers are doing just because they're doing something different outside the box. Yeah, they're doing something that you don't really see a lot of us doing, and they're having a lot of success. So salute to those brothers. All right, then. One of them is from Delaware. Big Delaware. There's a big Delaware. Same one. No, I'm saying you can own it. I didn't know it come in a big size. I know it's a. I know it is. Yo, whatever. Yo, shout out to east side Golf. Eli, Elijah, Juan, and my man's Earl Cooper. And also, you know what? I want to salute Mimi Brown. And if Mimi's listening, I just want to say I apologize for my friends. Mimi is right here. Come here, Mimi. If Mimi listening. This guy is so crazy. Like, why do you. Mimi sitting right here? I don't know if Mimi wanted to get to the mic, but Mimi told us today she's from Alaska. And my friends here at the Breakfast Club asked some of the dumbest questions in whatever, you know. And I just want to say, Mimi, I'm sorry. It's all right. Ask if you. If you really. I just wanted to know. I wanted to know, did she grow up in the igloo? Like, what part of town she from? Is she from the east or the west side? She said it's dark all the time. So, like, it's. It's normal. And by the way, don't NBA, don't act like you weren't dumb. NB was like, it gets dark all the time. And I learned that it's dark in the winter time all the time. The Summertime is light 24 hours, so it's opposite. So you go to school at night. Well, at. When it's dark and then you come on, it's just dark. Just dark. It's just dark. But in the summertime. Got to be crazy. Well, kinda. Kinda. The street lights stay on in the winter time, like the whole time. But in the winter, it's 24. Seven summertime. Right. So the sun doesn't go down. So that's. But I actually beside you is from, you know, you from the south side, like, where you from? No, there's like a. We don't really do that. It's just, you know, from the slopes. I mean, that's dip. Like that's. That's. That's Alaska, though. That's Alaska. Yeah. So you could say I'm from the north, I'm from the South Pole. I'm from the North. I'M I'm from north. You're from the North Pole. You know. You ever seen St. Nick? No, we've never seen St. Nick. So, like, what do you guys do? You guys like, sled? We sled. We ski. We like. We do all the, like, all the outdoor activities. Do black people live? You got black. We go hiking. My dad crab. We. We went fishing. We did all of that. Can you see Russia from Alaska? For real? You cannot see Russia.
