day I would have loved to see a J and free.
I would have loved to see t J and Terryson,
Roxy and just more. And I saw them, but like
we saw little glimpses of them, and I felt like
it was just it should have been more around one
of six. They could have had a cipher with with
battle raps. They could have had like they could have
showed some new music videos and then like you know.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
The whole show should have been one of six. Yes,
it should have been hosting. The whole show should.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
Have been formatted the errors of one of six and
then a J said he was on a flight.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Everybody is dj.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
N V Jess hilarious, Chelamaine the guy. We are the
breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
What's up Morgan?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
But yeah, Hey, happy Tuesday. How we feeling.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Let's black and Holly fav How will you?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm doing well. I love to hear it. Okay, y'all
so first on front page.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
Tensions continued to rise in Los Angeles, California, following a
fourth day of anti ice demonstrations yesterday. Another two thousand
California National Guard troops have been tasked with keeping peace
in Los Angeles. California Governor Gavin Newsom says only three
hundred of the first two thousand have actually been deployed.
He said the rest are sitting unused in federal buildings

(05:27):
without orders. Also, about seven hundred Marines have since been
activated to respond to civil unrest as well in LA.
The Marines are also stationed in twenty nine palms with
a mission to protect federal buildings and agents who are
being met with continued protests amid immigration rates. Now, California
Governor Gavin Newsom says President Trump should not be deploying

(05:47):
marines on American soil, calling it an American Meanwhile, President
Trump believes residents of LA should be thanking him for
sending the National Guard, as his administration put it, to
keep the public safe.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Let's take a listen to is it a Trump's comments.

Speaker 8 (06:01):
I think his primarily primary crime is running for governor
because he's done such a bad job. It's lucky for
the people in Los Angeles ended California that we did
what we did.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
We got it just in time.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
So yesterday our reporter asked Trump if borders are Tom's
home and would should arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom over
the anti ice demonstrations in LA. Now, Trump said he
would if he were Tom, and he thinks that would
be great.

Speaker 9 (06:28):
Now.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
Newsom responded to that those comments, saying that Trump's comments
are a sign of authoritarianism, and he announced a lawsuit
against the White House for federalizing the California National Guard,
which I'll get into later. Trump is also dismissing the lawsuit,
saying he had no choice, noting car cars were burning
and people were rioting.

Speaker 10 (06:47):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Meanwhile, US Attorney General.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Pam Bondy, she says federal authorities will prosecute protesters who
commit crimes now. Pondi said the person who allegedly threw
rocks at federal law enforcement vehicles during the protests has
been identified and authorities have conducted a search warrant on
their home. She added a message for protesters who are
anything less than peaceful, let's take a listen to US

(07:11):
Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Speaker 11 (07:13):
You can run, you can't hide. We are coming after
you federally. If you assault a police officer, if you
rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on
a police officer, We're coming after you.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Why they didn't have that same energy for the January
sixth insurrection instead assaulted law enforcement officers? And then you
know you said something else, Morgan, You said they sent
the National Guards to keep the peace.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Like, do you send national guards to keep peace?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I guess I'm just trying to figure out what is
the National Guard doing that local law enforcement can't do,
like people throwing rocks and you send the National Guarden.
But I guess they're saying the local departments can't do it,
because obviously they still doing it. They're still protesting, they're
still throwing rocks and bricks.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
City.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
They was like up on a bridge and they had
cars and they were like where they could have killed
whoever was.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
In Local enforcement couldn't.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Sit the National Guard. And when local law enforcement is overwhelmedhere,
they overwhelmed.

Speaker 7 (08:08):
So that is to be determined by local law enforcement
and the governor. You know, that's something that the governor
is supposed to decide, and that if federal agents or
the Trump administration decides to bring in the National Guard
or deploy the National Guard, then they would do so
in tandem with local law enforcement. And that seems to

(08:28):
not be the case right now. Local law enforcement is
kind of like standing idly by not so much. Yeah,
they're not necessarily helping. They don't know, they don't have
any orders in regards to this. This is just a
federal takeover.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, because it's federal overreach because the governors, the governor
is supposed to say, hey, we need the National Guard.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
I think what he was trying to do is make
sure it doesn't get out of hand, make sure they
stop it before it goes any further, because the.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
Fact that there.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Is no respect for law enforcement out there.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
I mean the way that they're like they're throwing bricks
at cars driving by, and the way they're burning things
down is no respect. And I think he's trying to
jump a front in front of it before it happened,
because you could tell they have no respect. I don't know,
there's no peaceful protesting in a lot of those places.
There's a lot of places where they are peace for protesting,
but there's a lot where it is it is no respectful.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
I think the National Guard escalates it to a different level.

Speaker 7 (09:14):
That's it, I was gonna say to your point, Yeah,
that's what a lot of local authorities, including Los Angeles
mayor Caen Bass is pretty much saying, charl Mane is
that it doesn't help to bring in the National Guard.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
It actually escalates the situation.

Speaker 7 (09:27):
But we'll continue to talk about it in the seven
o'clock hour because there's so much to cover regarding the situation.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
So stick around.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, and on both sides, I think they're being it's
just they're going too far. I don't know if you
want to see that one video where the officers shot
the actual the reporter she was actually reporting, like live,
like I guess he's an Australian reporter or from overseas
and she's reporting.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
She's sitting there and you see.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
The police officer or whoever it was at the time,
point his gun at her and shoot.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
It was crazy live on camera.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
But it was hilarious last night on the Daily Show
when they added that little sound effect and it was
like Bangarry, Arry. I feel they showed it regular first,
but then John Stewart was like, no, I know, I
know when you had a sound effect to it and
they put that little bang on it. Oh man, she
was screaming, scream, just like that.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
All right, that's front page the news.

Speaker 5 (10:22):

More from Florida. Whatever, get it off your chest?

Speaker 10 (14:32):
Mode, what's got breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Somebody, man, I just want.

Speaker 15 (14:36):
To tell y'all, I think the governor is doing an
awful job over there. He should have stepped in sooner.
He's trying to have a measure in contact with the president,
and then if he's daughter president, don't step in. He
damned if you do, and damned if you don't. So
you might as we be damned if you do, because
if you don't, they're gonna be on him anyway.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
On top of that, if you got but hold on,
hold on, Okay, I'm not I'm not. I'm not, you know,
disputing you because I don't know, you know, I don't
think knew something does the best job in California.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
But the protest just began on Friday, like literally just Friday.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Look at how by let it turned right away.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
You're not saying any.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Of the peaceful protests everywhere, it's peaceful protests. A lot
of places get out peace.

Speaker 16 (15:15):
Protest, but the rioting, if nobody steps in and does nothing,
then we're over here talking about, oh, we're burning ourselves down.

Speaker 10 (15:22):
What are we doing? They should have end up beed earlier,
and then then what all our we're burning all communities down.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
So what's the point of spending so much money in
law enforcement and already having the law enforcement militarized law
enforcement got weapons and armor and all of that.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
If you spend all if you spend hundreds of millions
of dollars on law enforcement, well, how did they get
overwhelmed so fast by protesters to where you're sending in
the national Guard? And did you even see the national
guard yesterday? Most of them was just sleeping because they
ain't nothing to do. Did y'all say, yes, they had them.

Speaker 10 (15:56):
In strategic points right.

Speaker 16 (15:57):
I don't know how they run that, But when you
see videos of police officers being hurt, bleeding and everything else,
you gotta do something that he's supposed to be served.
He's in office for his people. Those police officers, those
local police officers are also just people. Our communities that
they're that we are burning down are our people. We

(16:18):
all know LA riots can tend to get out of
control real fast.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
So that been I mean, listen, if the l a
p D was overwhelmed, I understand they definitely were overwhelmed.
I mean you could see from bleeding everywhere.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Consulated with tear gas. I mean, they were overwhelmed. They were,
they were they needed some help. That that that wasn't
planned out correctly. I don't know if sending the National
Guard was the correct thing to do, but they were
definitely overwhelmed.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
They needed some help.

Speaker 10 (16:44):
Something had to be done. They were overwhelmed, and our
community is the one being hurt. Something had to be done.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Thank you, brother.

Speaker 10 (16:51):
I mean, you know, real quick, what did you do
for Dominican Mother's Day?

Speaker 17 (16:56):

Speaker 10 (17:16):
Bro?

Speaker 15 (17:17):
Right?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
And I also want I also want to say if
the LAPD got overwhelmed that fast and they need to
get their budget cut then because they got allocated over
two billion dollars for the twenty twenty five twenty six
fiscal year and that's for you know, salary adjustments, technology, upgrade, security, sturagays,
that's a lot of money that the militarizer police force
to get overwhelmed that fast by protests.

It's also the forty fifth anniversary, man, and I honestly

I think we need to see each other in more often.

Also, also, I'm gonna do my part. I'm shutting down

It was a great like collective performance, like all of
them come out and doing ahead like I thought it
was dope.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Only only when I would miss that, I was well,
maybe he's torn or whatever. Nelly, because Nelly was big
on one O six par Nelly with the down down
like he was huge on one of six. I love
to see Nelly perform.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Man, remember one of one of those. Park was so
big that if you was just a judge on Freestyle Fridays,
that was a big look.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
Freestyle five judged that a couple of times, and t
J did a couple of times.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
It was just this is a great time the time.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Those were huge artist during the one O six and
Park like videos big right.

Speaker 20 (20:56):
Yes on the countdown Now, I talked to Shaunty backstage
and I asked her about that about just, you know,
the nostalgia of it, because that's what it felt like
last night.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Everybody showed up like it felt like up.

Speaker 20 (21:06):
Against last night. People were excited to be there. It
was so many big names in the building. But she
said one of the things she's been remembering a lot
of is just when you walk out the doors of
one on six in Park and you fill the crowd
go crazy because you feel so much love. And that's
what last night felt like to her, she said. Now,
in closing on the one on six and Park tribute,
all the hosts came.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Out and they did their thank you.

Speaker 20 (21:26):
I want to note that Roxy and AJ were missing notably.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Those are two big missy that Yeah, because let's be clear,
if we're being honest, there's two such the hosts that
when you think one on six in Park, you think
about Course and that's a J and Free and Terrence
and Rocks.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
That's it very much. So that's that's the ones you remember.
And they were on the press tour. They came up
there together, so.

Speaker 20 (21:46):
They were all the suit I mean, I didn't see
Aj running around this weekend, but I saw Roxy. I
went to the one on six and Park day party
and celebration for this and I saw Roxy. So people
were asking where Even backstage, you were like, wait, where
is Aj?

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Where is Roxy?

Speaker 3 (21:59):
I spoke yesterday Roxy. She's in France working like she
wanted to be there. She tried to be there. But
you know, sometimes you got those gigs, those opportunities you
can't change, and they clash with other things and you
got to make a choice.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
I mean, you'll see what the gig is real soon,
because it is. It is a really big gig.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
And you know, I understand that because you know, last
night was a great moment, but that's the past.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
You still got to think about your now, in your
future what I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (22:21):
And she was running around all weekend. I will say
that she was out about and the by.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Awards came early this year. It's always usually at the
end of the morning.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yes, that is true as well too.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
It's never like June. What was June ninth? It was
yesterday the knife. It's usually like June twentieth ninth.

Speaker 6 (22:36):
I will say, the only person that was missing during
the One of Six and Pluck performances was Mario.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
To me, Mario from Baltimore. That was very much his era,
you know what I.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
Mean as well, and he performed the bet experienced like
before the show. But I think he should have been
on that stage singing. You say, he's just different, like yo,
like that.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Mario was missing.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
One thing Baltimore was gonna do is represented the show.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Baltimore. Twitter must have been having that conversation crazy, where
is Mario?

Speaker 5 (23:08):
They say, where aj was? I seen him post something
that said he was on a flight, but that's all
I heard. Yes, they should have planned that out, man.
They all should have been on that stage.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
To me, well and and wrap U.

Speaker 20 (23:18):
One thing I will say when Free popped up on
that screen, backstage, cast and crew went crazy because I
think we were all just excited to see her on
stage again.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
And they gave a wrap up.

Speaker 20 (23:28):
Thank you to a ton of people, and we talked
about this yesterday they honored uh mister Steph Hill.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
I do want to thank each and every one of
you that tuned in and welcomed us into your homes
on a daily basis tuning into one O six in part.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Thank you so much, BT, and who else do we
have to thank free?

Speaker 23 (23:46):
I think that we wouldn't all be here right now
celebrating one on six A part. We got to give
a round applause to Stephen Hill. I don't know where
you are six and Park without you.

Speaker 24 (24:03):
We love you, Thank you so much, and I know Stephen.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
We wanted to make sure.

Speaker 17 (24:06):
We thank our entire production crew, everybody that made this
show work.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
We could not have done it without the BT family.

Speaker 23 (24:14):
Thank you guys, are you and a staff any executives
that held us down and made sure that their artists
came through. We just really want to thank you and
everybody out in the street that hugs us, yells at us,
does all kind of love and for y'all, like thank y'all.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
They could have formatted the whole show like one.

Speaker 7 (24:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (24:29):
I thought that that's what they were gonna do, but
instead of making it just like a part of the show,
I thought those hopes were gonna actually host the.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Full ship, the whole The performers could have took the
place of the videos, like you know, you have a
little small conversation with the guests, like especially during the
Icon Award.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
Part, ciphers going on, you know, bow Wow could have
hosted a little bit of it, because that missed the
one O six and pub you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
And I think I much rather hear im, much rather
hear like small conversations than these artist speeches. Yo boy
dragging him speech.

Speaker 20 (25:01):
It was a lot of everybody showed up last night.
Everybody did.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Some of those speeches were warranted, though, Like I'd love
to hear Snoop speech last well, yes.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Jamie Fox, I would have liked to hear Jamie Fox
in conversation, Yeah, great, Yes, I would have liked to
heard somebody actually asking Jamie Fox questions. I think it
was it was so overwhelming for him in that moment
because everything that he's been through.

Speaker 20 (25:25):
But we're gonna We're gonna bring back in the second
hour because there is a lot more to last night,
to the BT wards. Jamie Fox will talk about that
as well. Uh and rapping. I did want to mention
Mvy you mentioned this. A. J. Calloway did post on
his Instagram that he was on a flight. He tried
to make it but it didn't work, and he sends
much loveve to his bt family and he says he'll
do something again when they can all make it out

(25:45):
and hopefully let everybody know to join up, join them
when they do get back together again.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
So all right, and salute the DC Young Fly Man.
DC Young Fly killed that man friend man.

Speaker 24 (25:56):
He ate them.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Three times, three different outfits on on He killed.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
It last night. He was had DC on the relationship
because that's all I once.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
He was all throughout the show. On the show he
was in the middle of he was in the name show.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, I killed it. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
When we come back, we got Front Page News and
then boxer Amanda Sourana will be joining us.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
And don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Everybody is DJ Envy, just Hilarius Charlamagne the guy.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Let's get back at some Front Page News and some
quick sports tomorrow. The game three okay, see versus pass
at eight thirty pm.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
They stretching this out. Man, I need to get it
over with. Man, we don't need two days. They usually
give you two days between when you go from.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
The east to west.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Let's get this over with, gee.

Speaker 9 (26:44):
Bit.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Anybody watching the James w up.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
The conversation continues from the first hour about the anti
ice protests that are underway in Los Angeles, California. Now,
the top cop in l A says the Marines are
not communicating with his department. While about seven hundred Marines
are headed to the city, LA Police Chief Jim McDonald
says he's not getting a formal notification. He says the
lack of coordination is concerning, and the chief says it

(27:12):
presents a significant logistical and operations challenge for those charged
with safeguarding the city. Now, California Attorney General Rob Bonta
says the state of California is going to sue President
Trump and his administration for deploying hundreds of National Guard
members to LA, calling the move unlawful. Now, Bonta said
it requires the governor's consent to activate the National Guard,

(27:35):
and Newsom didn't call for it. Let's take a listen
to California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Speaker 19 (27:40):
The governor of California knows how to call in the
National Guard if and when it's needed.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
He did it with the LA fires.

Speaker 19 (27:46):
He did it in the summer of twenty twenty with
some of the protests in California. So this is something
that is within Governor Knew some sovereignty. If local law
enforcement did decide they needed further support, the first rational
step would be to call upon other nearby agencies mutual
calling mutual aid.

Speaker 7 (28:03):
So Bonza goes on to say that this actually diverts
resources that are needed for the wildfire season, and it
escalates tension in the city. Now, he goes on to
say the law used to activate the troops had only
been invoked once before in modern history, in the nineteen seventies,
and this is the first deployment without a governor's consent
since nineteen sixty five. Now, the White House justifies the

(28:25):
action by citing lawlessness in LA. Governor knew Some claims
there's no need for the National Guard and accused Trump
of wanting a spectacle. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass
as her city is being used for an experiment as
the federal government brings in the National Guard and Marines
to counter immigration protests. Now Bass spoke on Monday night,
saying it makes her feel like this is a test

(28:46):
for what happens when the federal government moves in and
takes authority.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Away from the state and from local government.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
Now she pushed back against comments describing the city as
being invaded and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals, calling
it a despicable description. Let's take a listen to La
Mayor Karen Bass's comments.

Speaker 25 (29:05):
This kind of atmosphere, It creates a chaos in our city.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
People not sure whether they should go outside, whether they
need to stay inside. We did not need this.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
The population of all of Los Angeles needs to know
that we will stand with them.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
We're not going to allow our city to be divided
and picked apart.

Speaker 7 (29:23):
So the LAPED has announced that the city is going
on tactical alert, meeting officers can be kept on past
their shift in time and transferred between divisions. The demonstrations,
of course, started on Friday, in response to immigration rates
that were happening around the city and bringing things home.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
To you guys up there in New York.

Speaker 7 (29:43):
Well, Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish.
She addressed New York City on Monday evening, or he addressed.
They both addressed New York City on Monday evening. Following
these protests that are of course happening in LA. Now,
Mayor Adams says what's happening in LA will not happen
in New York.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Let's take a listen to his comments.

Speaker 22 (30:02):
The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last
couple of days is unacceptable.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
It would not be tolerant if it tempted in our city.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
It was a bunch of anti ice protests yesterday in
New York, a bunch of them, large crowds.

Speaker 7 (30:16):
That's all it takes is you know, you're starting to
see this stuff, and then you know people are going
to start galvanizing and organizing in their own cities. But
you know, as you heard from the audio, New York
Mayor Eric Adams had a message for New Yorkers.

Speaker 9 (30:29):
Now.

Speaker 7 (30:29):
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish goes on to say that while
they encourage peaceful protests, the NYPD will have no tolerance
for violence or blocking of public spaces. Their comments, of
course comes just it came hours after two dozen protesters
were arrested after occupying Trump Tower in Midtown. So yeah,
it does appear that this is this is something that,

(30:50):
like I said, it impacts everybody from us here from
the case with kil Mar Abrego Garcia to LA.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
To you guys in New York.

Speaker 7 (30:58):
I mean, immigrants are all over this country and that's
essentially what built this country, especially you know the.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Original immigrants, the backs of slaves.

Speaker 7 (31:05):
But I won't get too much into that, but yeah,
this is something that impacts a lot of people, and
we I will continue to keep you guys posted as
these stories developed.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
And even in LA is interesting, right because you know
I was reading now you know the Gaven newsmen was
saying Trump sent he deployed two thousand troops to LA. Right,
He's deploying another two thousand truths to LA. But he
was like, the first two thousand were giving no food,
no water, and only three hundred have been deployed. The
rest are just sitting in a federal building without orders.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
So what's the point.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
I'm not sure, but I guarantee that these people are
racking up a coin on their check and that's not
wasteful or fraudulent or effusive.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
And then they say that they're they're just there to
protect federal buildings.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
That's the only reason that they were sent there, just
to protect the federal.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Buildings and supposedly the public and of course public safety
as well. But yes, those are that's that have been
their missions to protect public safety and federal buildings and
agents who are being met with continued protests amid the
immigration raids.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
So to your point, yes, only three have three hundred
of the first two thousand have actually.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Been deployed, with more on the way.

Speaker 7 (32:10):
So if you guys are in the LA area, you know, uh,
just continue to be safe and stay vigilant, you know,
especially you Lauren.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
So we want to make sure that you guys are
safe out there.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
And Dan, girl, let me just tell you your fresh face
is given.

Speaker 2 (32:23):

Speaker 5 (32:49):
All right, when we come back, boxer Amanda Serrano will
be joining us. She's a seven time champion, of course,
seven different weight classes, and we're gonna talk to her next.
You don't go anywhere.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
It's the Breakfast Club in the morning wanting.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Everybody is DJ Envy Jess, Hilarry Chelamin the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got our brother Ac with
us this morning. A we got a special guest in
the building, the champions here Amanda surround.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Welcome. How are you feeling.

Speaker 9 (33:13):
I'm feeling great, feeling grace a little too early for me,
but for you guys, I'll sacrifice yesterday. Yes, yes, it
was amazing. It was it was I was there in
twenty nineteen. I got honored as my Guinness for the
world Records for seven division and it was like a
complete different parade.

Speaker 26 (33:32):
This time. Everyone knew who I was, my name. It
just felts so welcoming and so awesome.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
You want to like you just said titles in seven
different weight classes. Are you chasing greatness? Are you chasing
something something deeper?

Speaker 9 (33:46):
I'm chasing legacy, and I believe I've accomplished that already.
You know, I'm the first Puerto Rican to become undisputed
male or female and first of seven division world champions.

Speaker 26 (33:57):
So now it's just.

Speaker 9 (34:00):
Doing other stuff, making money, making money and opening the
doors and continue to open the doors for women in
the sport.

Speaker 22 (34:07):
He mentioned seven divisions. People don't realize how difficult that is.
The only fighter that has done more is Manny Packard
we just talked about him, has done eight divisions. So yeah, yeah,
but that's what's in the in the books, right. So
so what she's done is like it's insane, right, But
there's another division that you haven't fought in one forty seven, right,

(34:27):
And I just want to throw that out there because
I know that Clarissa is a lot bigger. She's fighting
heavyweight one fifty four, one sixty, but she's a big
name in the sport.

Speaker 12 (34:35):
And for some reason, you girls were cool.

Speaker 22 (34:38):
But it's like tension, Like you put out a tweet
that I actually respected your tweet, like because it's kind
of like you were fed up of her attacking MVP.

Speaker 12 (34:45):
You're promoter. It is that a pipe jam?

Speaker 22 (34:47):
If it ever came, if she came down on one
forty seven, could that fight ever happen?

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Tell what's your natural weight?

Speaker 10 (34:52):
First?

Speaker 9 (34:53):
I'm the champion, Kermony, I'm the featherweight champion, which is
one hundred and twenty six pounds.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
Twenty pounds Jesus.

Speaker 26 (34:59):
Fighting for the title. I won't forty with Katie Taylor.

Speaker 9 (35:03):
But respectfully, I respect Clarissa what she's done in the sport.
I respect her as an athlete, her accomplishments. But I
came here today to talk about July eleventh, to talk.

Speaker 26 (35:13):
About me, to talk about the girls.

Speaker 9 (35:16):
That are making history at Madison Square Garden on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
So yeah, she said something. She said that the many
eight is questionable.

Speaker 9 (35:24):
Why because he won two division two divisions. They weren't
world titles. There were regional titles. All min's divisions was
world titles.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Got you?

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Now?

Speaker 5 (35:33):
I need to ask you know, when gaining that much weight,
right when you're naturally won twenty six and you have
to gain twenty pounds.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
How does that affect you?

Speaker 5 (35:40):
Affect your speed, affect your strength, and infect your mental
it does.

Speaker 26 (35:44):
It does affect you. People don't realize it.

Speaker 9 (35:46):
It's harder for me to go up in weight than
to make the lower weight because I walk around one
thirty four one thirty five, So it's easy for me
to drop ten pounds. But when I'm going up, a
lot of these girls they can withhold my power. They can,
you know they can. You know the power is. I
still have power at that weight, but it's just a
lot easier for them to have told it. And it's

(36:09):
it's I have to be constantly eating. My trainer, my sister.
Everyone's like forcing me, you have to eat, you have
to eat, eat healthy.

Speaker 26 (36:18):
But I'm like, I'm not. I'm not hungry. I just
finished training. I'm not hungry.

Speaker 9 (36:22):
And they're like, no, you have to eat because I
can lose weight really really fast.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
I refuse believe you ate healthy yesterday after definitely, you
know everybody you.

Speaker 9 (36:30):
Know's yeah, honestly I didn't. But I had a fried
fish Sanurich, so probably not Puerto Rican food. But it
was just it was crazy. It was crazy.

Speaker 6 (36:41):
Well, you're you're fighting, speaking of July eleventh, you are
fighting Katie Tailor.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
You already for her twice now, what are you doing
differently this fight?

Speaker 9 (36:50):
Yeah, definitely. I brought in new people for the camp.
I have a nutrition coach now, Sidney Miller. She's been
helping me feeding me good food.

Speaker 26 (36:59):
I have.

Speaker 9 (37:01):
Running coach. His name is Spencer. He's the one who
helped Beto turn of that and all his fights, so
that's been a great help for me. I hire another
assistant coach that's helping me keep my distance, helping me
with my head movement and boxing and stuff like that.
But listen, me and Katie had twenty great rounds together.

Speaker 26 (37:23):
We bring great fights.

Speaker 9 (37:25):
We show the fans that we can't fight, and this
fight is gonna be no different.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
You know.

Speaker 9 (37:30):
We ad headlining Madison Square Garden on an all girl
card and the good thing is that all these girls
are coming to fighting, so we don't know who's going
to be the fight of the night, so all of
us are stepping our game up. I'm stepping my game up.
I need this when on paper. I believe I want
both fights, but this one is different because I need
the judges to see that I want this fight.

Speaker 26 (37:52):
I need this fight on paper.

Speaker 9 (37:54):
So yeah, we're working a little different, smarter, and I
believe this is the third times.

Speaker 22 (37:58):
The charm and you know the fact that they're fighting
a trilogy. Even though Katie got both decisions, speaks to
like how close those fights were and how many people
felt you even won both of those fights.

Speaker 12 (38:12):
What fight you think was close out of her first two?

Speaker 26 (38:14):
The first one, the first one was a good fight.

Speaker 9 (38:17):
My coach told me after the fight, he said, I
think his ninety six ninety four is pretty close. So
when the first judge said that, he looked at me,
he said, you.

Speaker 26 (38:25):
See, I got we got it. But the second one,
I think was pretty clear that I want.

Speaker 9 (38:32):
I landed one hundred and seven more punches on Katie Tannery.
People say that I get hit a lot. One hundred
and seven punches. That's a lot of punches.

Speaker 19 (38:43):
It was.

Speaker 9 (38:44):
The first one was the fifth of the second one
was the first in a couple of rounds.

Speaker 26 (38:47):
Like I've heard Katie every fight, both.

Speaker 9 (38:49):
Fights that I've heard her. She's never really hurt me
other than the head buds. But you know, I respect
Katie as a fighter. She's a great fighter, great champion,
and she's gonna come to fight.

Speaker 26 (38:59):
She needs this when to be.

Speaker 9 (39:02):
Like convincingly, she she needs the fans to say, Okay,
Katie won this fight, and listen, I'm a professional, I'm
a champion. If Katie was to beat me, like clearly,
I would say pats off to Katie. Katie, you're a
great champion, you're a great fighter.

Speaker 26 (39:16):
You beat me. But I just don't feel it.

Speaker 9 (39:19):
The fans don't feel it, my team doesn't feel it,
doesn't see it.

Speaker 26 (39:22):
So I'm like, God, it's just this one is like this,
like the last Hurrah.

Speaker 5 (39:26):
How do you feel confidence in the judges during that
now right? Because you think you think you want both
of them, You feel like you would cheat it. So
how do you still have that confidence in the system
and the judges because you punch show?

Speaker 26 (39:36):
Yeah, I know that.

Speaker 9 (39:37):
That's the only thing that I'm like, ah, we need
we need better judges, and hopefully the team gets that
work before I step into that ring, because I feel
like those two fights it was like four against one
or five against one because the judges, Katie and the referee.
The referee wasn't on my side the last fight as well.

(39:58):
So I just want a fair fight. I just want
me and Katie to fight and the winner, you know,
takes it all.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
I mean it's just how do you fix the politics
of boxing though, because I mean, you can clearly watch
those fights until boxing politics came into place, So how
do you fix it?

Speaker 9 (40:11):
Yeah, and it's not just my fight, you know, it's
you see it every day every time there's a fight.

Speaker 26 (40:16):
I mean that. I don't know.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
I don't know if if the judges are influenced by
the crowd or the influence by the promoters, or it's
just really hard. I don't know what they're thinking, what
they're seeing. I don't know if they need to watch
it in a screen.

Speaker 26 (40:29):
Because I watch fights front row.

Speaker 9 (40:32):
And it's really hard. It's so hard to see a
good fight. Sometimes the referequets in the way. I just
don't know what they're seeing. I've seen fights whether judges
have to like be moving around to actually see the action,
and then if the person's back is against that one judge,
you don't know what's happening. So I don't know if
maybe a screen would be a better I have no idea.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
It's still kicking it with boxer Amanda Soroano. Her fight
is you eleventh in Madison Square at Garden.

Speaker 12 (40:59):
I want to go back to the second fight.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
What round.

Speaker 12 (41:03):
Was it that you got the cut again?

Speaker 26 (41:05):
I feel it was the fourth for the fourth was so.

Speaker 22 (41:09):
You fought six rounds with blood in your eye?

Speaker 12 (41:13):
How do how do how do you avoid those headbuts?

Speaker 22 (41:17):
Like going into the third fight, like, is there a
strategy where we know what Katie does? Like, is there
something you're gonna do to kind of avoid getting.

Speaker 12 (41:24):
Hit with the head again?

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (41:25):
Man, I'm maintaining our distance definitely, because once I heard her,
I know she's gonna come in and try to hold
me and try to grab me and then lose her head.
I mean, she's very good at using her head.

Speaker 26 (41:36):
Not taking anything away from Katie.

Speaker 9 (41:38):
She's a great champion and she's very very skillful fighter.
But you know, I think what I've got hurt the
most was with the head. And the second head butt
was so painful, Like.

Speaker 26 (41:48):
People don't know. The first one, I was like, okay, whatever,
but the.

Speaker 9 (41:51):
Second one, it was a very open wound and it
hit the bone and I was like I saw black
for a second.

Speaker 26 (41:57):
I was like what is going on? And that's why
I was just so I was pissed off.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 26 (42:04):
And then there was no help with the referee. The
referee wasn't really.

Speaker 9 (42:07):
Warning her with the hell but but listen, this happens
in the sport of boxing, and it's just onto the
next one.

Speaker 6 (42:13):
How much you did say the third time? I'm with you,
but are you prepared for it to go the other way? Like,
what what it mean for you to win? I mean
to lose third time to.

Speaker 26 (42:23):
Katie's it will suck, thank god, three times?

Speaker 9 (42:28):
I mean, but when I'm not thinking about that, I'm
not putting that into the universe. I'm manifesting a win
like I always do. But you know, like I said,
I if she wins the way she's supposed to win,
then I'm gonna be like, listen, Okay, she got it.
But I'm just hoping that the judges are watching the
fight in different different Well.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
You and Katie had the best fight on that that
car because Jake, Paul and Titson suck, right, But when
I think about that fight, I think about how bloody
it was, like it looked like Mortal Kombat. How much
does the how much does that take out of you?

Speaker 9 (43:01):
Well, it takes a lot of a lot of you,
you know, honestly, knowing that you have this cut I'm
just blessed that I have a great, a great corner.

Speaker 26 (43:09):
My cupman was amazing. I did not know.

Speaker 9 (43:12):
How big the cut was until I saw it and
the monitor and the monitor, you couldn't it was.

Speaker 26 (43:17):
It wasn't that bad. When I went to the back
to get stitched up, I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 9 (43:22):
I brought a tea to my eye because I thought
about my family back home watching now on Netflix.

Speaker 26 (43:26):
I was like, oh, because I know it looks a
lot worse on TV.

Speaker 9 (43:30):
So but it takes a lot, all that blood and
then it wasn't just that one headbut it just kept
happening and her rubbing her head on it. But you
definitely can feel it. I believe if I did lose
around it was a round after the cut, because that
was just like probably still in pain. But that didn't
stop me. You show you saw the heart I had

(43:50):
in there.

Speaker 26 (43:51):
I was like, let's go, let's keep fighting. And but
it can't take a.

Speaker 22 (43:55):
Lot of Yeah, there's been men with smaller cuts that
can't continue and quit before her. So Jake Paul has
signed so many women obviously this are all girls card.
He's done a lot for women's boxing. Do you feel
like you are kind of the reason because you know
what he'd done with your career and uh and how
successful you've been. That's why women are saying, I want

(44:17):
to go there. Look what the look Look what a
man that's been able to do.

Speaker 9 (44:20):
Listen, Jake Paul and the Kiss of Badarian MVP have
changed my life completely. They have changed the sport of
female boxing and I am super proud to be part
of them. And yes, yes, I believe that they these
women In the beginning, these.

Speaker 26 (44:34):
A lot of people had a lot.

Speaker 12 (44:35):
Of stuff to see negative stay.

Speaker 9 (44:38):
And I took that chance to be with Jake Paul
because when I met Jake Paul and Akisa, they told
me where.

Speaker 26 (44:46):
They wanted to go.

Speaker 9 (44:47):
They asked me how much I was getting paid, What
you want to do in this sport and whatever? They
made sure the first card that I was Tomateavanna. He's
he said, I want the whole card to make the
most money that they ma, So he paid me the
most money I got paid.

Speaker 12 (45:03):
But before that, how much have you what was your
biggest paid before?

Speaker 26 (45:08):
Not definitely, not seven figures, way less than that.

Speaker 9 (45:11):
You know, I got paid four thousand dollars for world
title fights I.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Got paid four.

Speaker 26 (45:16):
Thousand dollars before tying up with Miguel Collo becoming a
four division world champion.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Four so you know, section.

Speaker 9 (45:31):
Sanction fees and all that stuff. Yeah, it's been it's
been a journey. I got paid a peanuts, like sometimes
I got paid nothing just just to fight, just to stay.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
To maintain.

Speaker 9 (45:42):
But yeah, that's the difference with Jake Paul and these women.
Now that they see that we're making makatid, making millions
or just making noise, and my fan base how much
a group being under Jake Paul there now they want
to come along. But I guess they had to see
what was what he really wanted to do with female boxing,

(46:05):
and he proved it. He proved it with me and
now he's proving it. Come July eleventh, the first in
history at MSG on Netflix. I am super proud to
be part of that. And like I said before, this
is going to be a car you don't want to
miss because we have two on this Sputter Championship, three
unified champions Our championships, and you just don't know who

(46:26):
is going to be the.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Fight of the night.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
Now, you recently pushed for twelve three minute rounds of
women's boxing push for that hard.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
Why so much.

Speaker 9 (46:34):
Because we talk about equality and the sport of female boxing,
and one way to do it is to fight the
same time the men fight. You know, we fight, so
some men complain that, oh well, they fight less than
us for.

Speaker 26 (46:48):
Ten minutes around why you want.

Speaker 9 (46:50):
To get paid just like us? So I believe it's
one step. We want equality, so we.

Speaker 26 (46:54):
Have to fight for what we believe, for what we want.

Speaker 9 (46:57):
And I'm a big advocate or the twelve three, Katie,
she said the Rima actually said, she shook my hand
and said that we can if we fight again, we.

Speaker 26 (47:07):
Can do it, and she like that promised.

Speaker 9 (47:11):
So, I mean we were fighting ten two, but I
would prefer the twelve three because I believe if I
had that extra minute, I can definitely hurt her and
finish her. But I think a lot of us women
wouldn't want that because we have a lot more time
to show our skills. I believe that the ten tools
it's like a sprint for women's boxing, and then the

(47:32):
twelve three is like a little jog and marathon. We
can showcase more of our skills and have more time
to get these knockouts.

Speaker 22 (47:40):
Rumor has a year the reason why Netflix wanted to
stay in boxing after the first fight in Texas, like
how entertaining your fight was opposed to the other something
like that. You know, Jake, Paul and Mike they wore
what they were right. It was a unique type of fight.
But Netflix said, no, we need to see that again.
And that's why you fight on Netflix is truse. There's

(48:00):
some truth today.

Speaker 9 (48:01):
Well, I mean the Birdie said no, yeah, I mean
that's what I want to do every time. My trainer,
Jordan Maldonado, he told me, whenever you have an opportunity,
you see the opportunity, you go out there and you
do whatever you have to do to make sure that
people tune in, people watch you, people want you.

Speaker 26 (48:22):
And I know that fight, I know the fight with
Katie Tailor was going to be a great fight.

Speaker 9 (48:26):
So I said, no, matter what I do, I have
to just give my all that that night, and I did.
And look and now Netflix believed in me and Katie
so much that they gave us our own card with
all women. So they believe in us women and that's
something that really touches me, and that really it gets
me excited because now we have these big, big networks,

(48:46):
big stadiums, big people, big sponsors that are giving their money,
giving their time to promote and to give just give
us this the spotlight.

Speaker 26 (48:57):
And I'm excited.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
And we're talking to boxer Amanda Serrano. Her fight is
a lot eleventh to Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 12 (49:03):
You won right seven divisions.

Speaker 22 (49:05):
This is obviously a big money fight, a big, big
profile fight. But if you do get the victory finally
with Katie, what's the next challenge?

Speaker 12 (49:13):
You know, I know.

Speaker 22 (49:14):
People talking about Alicia Baumgan and she's with MVP. Now
she's around your weight class. What's the next big challenge
for man?

Speaker 4 (49:21):
You know what the world wants?

Speaker 9 (49:23):
No, Honestly, right now, I'm just concentrating, fully, concentrating on
Katie Taylor. That's the one thing that's on my mind.
My goal just to go out there and finally get
this one. That's a big enough challenge for me right now,
this moment.

Speaker 26 (49:36):
The second, the whole couple of weeks.

Speaker 9 (49:38):
Leading up to the fight, and then after that, who knows.
Who knows what the world holds for me? The team knows,
and and I mean they will go back and we'll
figure it out when.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
You when you retire, what do you want little Puerto
Rican girls?

Speaker 25 (49:50):
This day, Little Puerto Rican girls, I need a little
girl who or boy who who believes in themselves and
want to do something.

Speaker 9 (50:03):
Just you have to go out there and give it
your all. You know, greatness requires sacrifice. I sacrifice my
whole life to the sport, and I'm going to continue
to work for them and and just believe in yourself,
around yourself with positive people. Go out there and give
it your all. That's all I can act. And I
always tell the young girls. They say, oh, I want
to be like you, and I tell them, don't be

(50:23):
like me, be better than me. And that's what I
want to push them for. Just always to be better
than than me. And that's what I do. I always
want to be better than I was yesterday or the
or the fight before.

Speaker 26 (50:34):
And that's all you have to do.

Speaker 6 (50:35):
You're gonna have Bad Bunny for Jocelynandez, which one Puerto
Rican stars.

Speaker 9 (50:43):
Bad Bunny has a concert to say. His first concert
in Puerto Rico is the night of the fight.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
About Henandez.

Speaker 15 (50:53):
You know, coming.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Freaking princess right there.

Speaker 22 (51:01):
So I walk Katie Katie Taylor chapter closed after this
third fight is like.

Speaker 9 (51:08):
I think, I think so, you know, honestly, I said
that after the second After the first one, I was like, God,
I am so tired of I.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
Love Katie and Katie is my best friend.

Speaker 9 (51:19):
I'm like, how can you love and hate someone?

Speaker 22 (51:23):
Because the last press conference I've never seen y'all go
at it the way you did. She threw shots, saying
your delusional and you you came, you came.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
With the helmet.

Speaker 12 (51:31):
It was the football.

Speaker 22 (51:34):
To the press conference and sceenerating and I don't want
to get so this it's not as really as it
was before.

Speaker 26 (51:41):
That was just something that was.

Speaker 9 (51:44):
But then the day after we had to do like
promo and photo shoot and we were just laughing, talking
like regular.

Speaker 26 (51:50):
But yeah, I think she's kind of probably tired.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Of me too.

Speaker 12 (51:54):
You beat her, She says, I want to you want one,
Let's do it again.

Speaker 25 (51:58):
Damn money talks, money talks.

Speaker 9 (52:02):
But like, honestly, I'm like I told myself, I but
because it's been like I'll talk of both our names
since she returned pro and we wasn't even in the
same wayers as to say I was, I'm never at
her stay wakers.

Speaker 26 (52:16):
I'm like, who is Katie? But Katie Taylor's brought eyes to.

Speaker 9 (52:20):
The professional box boxing world.

Speaker 26 (52:23):
Which which is good. But it's been like that for years.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
And I was like, oh my god, we all know
what the ultimate pay day is. I don't know what
that weight would be between you and Clarissa, but that
would be the ultimate pay day in the ultimate.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
Matching women's box susten.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
It can be.

Speaker 9 (52:40):
But just like I said, I'm here promoting July eleventh, and.

Speaker 12 (52:45):
It's just but would you go to one forty seven?

Speaker 22 (52:47):
I forget about about would you?

Speaker 26 (52:50):
That's not that's not true. I'm not almost there.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
I can't.

Speaker 9 (52:53):
I can barely make one forty eating good, eating training hard.
But yeah I'm not. I'm not a natural one forty
a natural one thirty five. I'm a natural one twenty six.
I walk around at want thirty four. So, like I said,
going up and wait, it's really hard for me. It's
a lot harder for me than losing weight. And people
look at me like I'm crazy, Like, oh my god,

(53:15):
losing weight is hard.

Speaker 26 (53:16):
No gaining weight for me is you got fast?

Speaker 9 (53:19):
When I'm constantly working hard and training hard, I sweat
so much and I lose I lose weight so fast.

Speaker 12 (53:25):
So I'm like, no, like, but you can't make one
forty seven if you had to.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
No, I know I can't.

Speaker 26 (53:30):
I won't.

Speaker 9 (53:35):
The heav yet you go, the more you lose more, Yeah,
my power.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
Is still there.

Speaker 26 (53:40):
But like I said, this million.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Forty seven, right, twenty million, I got one seven. You
can whip your that. I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
I feel when you walk in the gym sometime and
know you better than ninety nine percent in the minute.

Speaker 26 (53:56):
Hey, boost your confidence.

Speaker 9 (53:57):
You walk around like sometimes I walk around the street
and I'm like, only if they knew.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
We wish you the best of luck. You're fighting Madison
Square Guard in July eleventh.

Speaker 6 (54:08):
All my Puerto Ricans, but equads, go buy your tickets,

Speaker 5 (54:11):
There and support. Yes, I'm saying right now because I
was on the float last Yes, making.

Speaker 9 (54:16):
History of all woman's card great fights. Honestly, Remi Katie
had two great fights. But I don't know we're up
before some good competition.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
This fight absolutely well.

Speaker 5 (54:27):
Thank you for joining us, Amanda Serrano, thank you. It's
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Good morning, and Kanye might have been kissing while he
was recording this.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
You ever think about stuff like this.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
That was one of my favorite songs in the world.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
Is tough, very tough, Tray, very tough.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
I never thought about them to kissing.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
I just thought about it.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
I'm like, damn, Frank Ocean was killing that hook with
penis on his breath. Probably what, Frank.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
We don't even know what's going on?

Speaker 12 (54:52):
All right?

Speaker 6 (54:53):
Anyway, woe becoming a straight fast.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
She gets to be somebody that knows somebody.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
And she'd be having the latest on you, the Latest
with Lauren la Rosa. Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you
have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything
on the breakfast Club talk.

Speaker 20 (55:17):
To me, all right, y'all A bit more moment, A
few more moments from the BET Awards last night, Doci
won Best Female Hip Hop Artist, and she took the
stage in a powerful acceptance speech.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Let's take a listen to Doci.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
First of all, thank you so much, BT. This is
my first BT Award, so this means a lot to me.
I grew up watching this. But as much as I'm
honored by this award, I do want to address what's
happening right now.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Outside of the building.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos.
Trump is using military forces to stop a protest, and
I want y'all to consider what kind of government it
appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic
right to pro test, the military.

Speaker 26 (56:01):
Is deployed against us.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
People are being swept up and torn from their families.
And I feel it's my responsibility as an artist to
use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people,
for black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for
the people in Gaza. And I hope we stand together
my brothers and my sisters against paint and we protest
against it.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
That's a solid way to use your platform. I always
feel like when stuff like that happened, though, like like
what's next after the artist does that? Like you raised awareness,
but what's the call to action? And that had to
be tough for beet producers because you have to either
choose to ignore what's going on outside, you know, to
put on your show or that's it. Yeah, they acknowledge it.

Speaker 5 (56:44):
Or ignored, but they didn't acknowledge it. They just let
whoever won acknowledge it. But they didn't necessarily acknowledge it,
you know.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
What I'm saying, Like, yeah, but for that being the
backdrop of LA you would feel like, you know, that
have to be a tough thing to decide to do
with the room because you acknowledge it, aregned.

Speaker 20 (56:59):
Yeah, and it's hard to ignore it because when I
tell you, all weekend we've had to be moving around
the protests and like stores being broken, like so much
different stuff.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
But definitely because he didn't do anything.

Speaker 20 (57:12):
I mean, but I just mean, if you're here in person,
to your point, it should have led over into the
show because in real.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
Everybody is not there, and well, you know what I'm saying,
it would have been great in.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Real life it was you couldn't ignore it.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Or do you use the show as an escape? I
don't know, That's what I'm saying. That's why I said
it's a tough decision for producer.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Yes, yes, Now.

Speaker 20 (57:29):
Also on the stage, the Ultimate Icond of Word went down.
Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carrey, Jamie Fox, Kirk Franklin received this award.
Snoop Dogg's award was presented by Doctor Dre and The
Ultimate Icon Award is where these artists are recognized for
their decades of contributions and music, entertainment, advocacy and community impact.
Let's take a listen to uh the performance that happened

(57:52):
by Snoop Dogg when receiving this award.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Ye they sounded good too, like they sounded the same
back age went crazy.

Speaker 20 (58:00):
A lot of the crew last night was from l
A to like they crazy last night, especially when corrupted
this stage and then warned you at the stagees walked
too even I'm sorry long the dancers and the people
were playing the instruments like the band everything. I love
how I had like the the toxitos.

Speaker 6 (58:16):
Yes with the l a flannel, you know what I mean.
Like it was, it was lit, It was a whole.
It was a whole thing for black people in the
West Coast.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
Man no fun as the homies can't have none.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
I'm going till you hear that in a freak off its.

Speaker 14 (58:31):
Uh.

Speaker 20 (58:40):
He received his Impact Award from Stevie Wonder and he
had all of us in tears while they're let's take
a listen to Jimmy Fox.

Speaker 27 (58:48):
I cannot even begin to express the love that I
feel from everybody out there. I gotta be honest. When
I saw the memorium, I was like, man.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
That could have been me.

Speaker 27 (59:01):
But I don't know why I went through what I
went through. But I know my second chance. I'm not
gonna turn down. I'm not gonna turn down. I have
so much love to give. I told him, I said, man,
just just give me one more crack at this. And
I promise, I said, whatever reason you put this on me,
I promise, i'ma I'm gonna do right. When I when

(59:21):
I did my special, it was from the black people.
Black people was the one that said, man, we got
you not to say that white people can't pray either.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
I know that sound weird, but y'all.

Speaker 12 (59:29):
Know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
It's like, I know what you're saying.

Speaker 27 (59:31):
It's like, you guys, help me down. And I don't
want to make this whole speech about that, but you
can't go through something like that and and not testify.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
The amazing gave.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
The funniest part was when Stevie wondered came to hand
them the trophy. But Steve was like, all right, bro,
I'm over.

Speaker 6 (59:51):
Okay, yes, and I love I took it back some
years back when at an award show, Elton John and
gave a tribute to Stevie Wonder and he had Steven Jamie.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Fox had brought that moment back. I thought that was
pretty dope.

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
I didn't know what that was.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 6 (01:00:06):
A long long time ago, Stevie, I mean Jamie Fox,
said Elton John for that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
Stevie was like, I love seeing you. I love seeing
you before. I love seeing I love seeing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
If you got Stevie one got better visions than all
of us.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Believe that Fox that I.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Had a joke.

Speaker 20 (01:00:22):
But I'm not gonna say I be leavet see you alone.
But Tyler Perry he did. I think I think he well,
he didn't gonna be worse than that. You know, it
was so funny. Tyler Perry also hit the stage. He

(01:00:44):
brought out let usy, but he called out the Hollywood
studios in the heavy flex.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 17 (01:00:50):

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
That would be crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
That was crazy.

Speaker 20 (01:02:16):

hear so much about it. I never seen him in person,
and I was like, Wow, that's Tyler Perry. But there
were so many people last night I didn't get a chance.
They were bringing him out to introduce for that moment
right there, so there was just wisting him by. But
everyone I talked to backstage for BT last night, Tyler
Perry was like the biggest conversation and how much he

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
It's the breakfast Club, bitch, please keep the day today
well as Sharon. Donkey of today. But Tuesday, June tenth
goes to a seventy two year old pastor from Alabama
named Roy Powell. Okay, Pastor Roy is the pastor See
the Street Missionary Baptist Church and Alabama dropping includes moms
to See the Street Missionary Baptist Church.

Speaker 4 (01:05:06):
Okay, salute to everybody who.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Listens to us on one on three point one to
beat in Birmingham and one on four point one to
beat in Montgomery. Alabama, respectfully, Now, what do you expect
of your pastor? What is expected of a pastor? Most
people expect their pastor to lead the church community. They
expect their pastor to guide them spiritually, morally, and in
practical matters.

Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
This includes teaching the Word of God. Okay, providing pastorial care,
leading worship, and ensuring the church as well being. Do
we need the pastor to be a role model? The
answer is yes, Okay, we need a pastor that reflex
the teachings of the Gospel. You must practice what you
preach in order to be an impactful pastor. Okay. Roy

(01:05:47):
Powell has been a pastor for thirty years, so clearly
he has been that. And you can tell he's been
that by the way his congregation is choosing to stick
beside him, even though he was charged with first degree robbery.
What do you mean, Pastor Powell was charged with first
degree robbery? Uncle Shalla, my pastor don't have to steal
from nobody. We'd be having two, sometimes three collections on Sundays,

(01:06:09):
the general offering a special offering to build the church pool,
and a thank you offering for a pastor because he
is a good man. He needs a new Hondai Sonata.
So my pastor don't got no reason to rob nobody. Well,
let's go to Fox ten news for the report.

Speaker 28 (01:06:22):
Police tonight, a well known local pastor is out of
jail charged with first degree robbery. Investigator say seventy two
year old Roy Powell took a man's book bag at
gunpoint yesterday morning on Nobill Street. The alleged victim, who
doesn't want to be identified, tells me he was walking
to the post office when Powell was walking towards him

(01:06:45):
on the sidewalk and bumped into him.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
He said, he like, he's in my way.

Speaker 24 (01:06:49):
I'm walking down the sidewalk, watch where you're going, and
we had words back and forth.

Speaker 28 (01:06:54):
Ulleged victim tells me Powell left the scene after they
exchanged words. Minutes later, he tells me Powell came back
in a truck and with a gun that he used
to pistol whip the man in the head. According to
this sign at the Cedar Street Missionary Baptist Church, Powell
is a pastor here, and court documents say he's been

(01:07:15):
a pastor for thirty years. These court documents say Powell
actually went back to the scene to apologize. He's charged
with first degree robbery.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
What if heaven was hell and vice versa. It's too
corrupt knowing that God gonna help me blow him up.
That wasn't Pastor Roy. That was past de Troy, and
Pastor Troy was teaching that young man a lesson. See,
this is what happens when you don't tie.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
Okay, m.

Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
Tiving is not a strict requirement for salvation, but it
is seeing as a test of faith, okay, path to
say you're gonna give up that ten percent? In my mind,
that's how this happened.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Okay. Pastor Powell.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Walking down the street, they bump into each other. Pastor says,
you was in my way. The devil got busy and
made that young man have a back and forth. Pastor
Powell said, I know God protect me, but I still
stay with my guy. So, according to the victim, he
left the scene. Now I'm gonna tell you what happened. Now,
I'm gonna tell you what happened. It's just in my mind.
Pastor Power went home and prayed over his pistol. He
didn't proceeded to grab his holy hammer, his godly glock.

(01:08:11):
Then he went back to confront this heathen who don't
be tiping, and proceeded to pistol whip this man in
the name of Jesus. Okay, divine discipline is what it's
called now. In the Bible Roman twelve nineteen, it says, beloved,
never avenge yourself, but leave it to the wrath of God,
for it is written vengeance's mind.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
I will repay, says the Lord.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
That's what made Pastor Roy return to the scene of
the crime and apologize, because he knew in that moment
he let the devil use him. But again I ask,
what if heaven was hell and vice versa, would you
start doing evil in order to nurture He had to
apologize because that's the Christian way.

Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
Acknowledge the wrong and express remorse.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Gotta ask for forgiveness after you pistol whiped somebody, not
just from God but from others, especially the person you heard.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
Then you repent.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
Okay, you gotta make a sincere effort to change and
avoid repeating the mistake. But Pastor Roy said, I need
to if this is true, that wasn't his first pistol
whipping and it won't be his last, especially if.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
Y'all don't go to church and give up that ten percent.

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
I don't feel like I gave him the credit he
deserved for being stupid, but it's because what if heaven
was hell and vice versa. Please get Pastor Roy Powell
the biggest he huh, y'all better time?

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
That's right, I do every Sunday, you better I do?

Speaker 4 (01:09:27):
All right?

Speaker 5 (01:09:28):
Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now when
we come back, we have a gentleman by the name
of Harry O joining us. He's a former artist of

What's up?

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
HARRYO got a new book called It's Beyond Words, which
is out right now. And you talk, you talk about
the art of calculated communication.

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
Yes, what is that?

Speaker 24 (01:10:29):
Great question? So the art of calculated communication. Let me
just rewind a little bit for the room who may
not know or those who don't know in the room
that besides an entertainment executive, I'm also a college professor
and I've been teaching communication courses for maybe twelve to
thirteen years.

Speaker 4 (01:10:47):
That if you're gonna go that far, let's go all
the way back there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Either.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
You know, Harry it was started off as a rapper. Yes,
that's how I originally know Harrio. He's from High Bridge,
He's from the Bronx.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
He started off as a rapper from there. And it
was signed to the Ink. Yes, signed to the Ink.

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
You was a hype man for Jo Roull for many years,
and then you stop rapping and now break it that. Well,
First of all, how did you meet IRV and everybody
and go through that whole.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
All right list of things?

Speaker 24 (01:11:12):
Great question, So let me rewind right, So first I
started entertainment business. I had a deal with Uptown Records
first with Andre Herrel and everyone over there.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
God bless it that.

Speaker 24 (01:11:22):
Favorite favorite right best for R and B music, all right.
So I was maybe like in eighth grade, so that
came went. Then I was working with Puff for a while. Whoa,
oh that bad boy. Yeah, listen, I know my guy's
going through a lot, but I got to give him
a lot of credit for helping me of where I'm
at today. Like I have to give him his credit
because I probably wouldn't be here without the image of him.

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
All right, But we can't take away what he did professionally.

Speaker 24 (01:11:44):
Professionally and what he and what he did for me
in my life.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
Person.

Speaker 24 (01:11:47):
He did a lot for me, and I you know,
tell you about it if I have time, Like he
stuck up for me plenty of times when executive try
to blackball me and things like that. Puff found out
about it. Step in, like, you know you're not doing
that to my guy. So I got to give him
his credit. So from there we transition quick. I had
to deal with Motown, I had to deal with murder,
inc Right, how many deals do you have?

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Four deals starting at eighth grade.

Speaker 24 (01:12:08):
Starting in eighth grade, started in eighth grade. Like, I've
been doing entertainment for a long time. So now fast forward.
Let me just tell you as far as me and Ja.
I met Ja on the set of a movie called
Turn It Up. Right, You're not gonna remember me in
the movie because they edited me out in the movie,
so you're not gonna remember me. But if you look

(01:12:29):
at the credits, you'll see me in the credits or whatever.
So the movie was shot in Canada, so we traveled
to Canada. Right, I'm there with my manager. We're trying
to get into Canada. My manager at the time, he
gets arrested for some reason. He can't get into Canada.
You know how that goes. So now I'm just I'm young,
I'm in Canada about to shoot this movie. I'm by myself.
I'm a little nervous. So my trailer is right next

(01:12:49):
to Jos trailer. But I would always see Ja in
the Violator office because we was working with Violator death Jam.
But we never really knew each other. We saw each other,
we passed. So I'm in a trailer. He now on
my trailer door, so I opened up. He goes, yo,
you signed a death Jam, you signed a violator. I'm like, nah,
my god, my song is and we're doing work over there.
He goes, man, I hear you here by yourself and

(01:13:09):
your manager got arrested. Listen, anything you need, come to
my trailer. If you need weed, if you need Hennessey,
if you need anything. Joe has been trying to get
me high since I met him, right right, Yeah, I
don't do any of that. So from there, John and
I had a connection. That was his first album, like
right before his first album came out. After this album
came out, he blew up and took off, and you know,

(01:13:31):
my career was going wherever it was going. But anytime
we would see each other, it would like we would
stop everything and give each other love. And then I
met Chris Gotti, Irv's brother, somewhere in the club and
he knew I did music. He said, listen, won't you
come down to the studio. Went to the studio, so
I recording records with IRV. Records with Ashanti Records with

(01:13:51):
Jah the next you know, a brotherhood for him where
although me and Joe came in through entertainment, that's more
my brother like that, that's my guy. And on I
set before my company chased Republic. We serve as like
an independent agency form. We close a lot of different
deals like I do with you. I and we'll talk
about made a lot of money together. But more importantly
that's that's my brother.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
That's my guy.

Speaker 5 (01:14:12):
So now so now you get out of music and
music never takes off. You can look at it that way.
N you tell me, well, I had the transition. I
always say this, right, somebody can ask you, like, how
do you view success? Right, So in your eyes you
may say, Harry Yo as an artist wasn't successful, and
that's fine.

Speaker 24 (01:14:31):
You can see it that way. I don't view it
that way. I view it as I came into the
entertainment business in eighth grade. I made a life out
of it. I'm sitting here doing an interview on the
Breakfast Club, not a rapper.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
I'm not always knowing you as an executive. Like that's
how I always looked at Harry or an executive. I
never even knew anything about.

Speaker 24 (01:14:50):
Like the E being a DJ. Yeah, there's been plenty
of times where like I would have to wait for
E outside of the radio station trying to get music played.
Like we have that relateationship you and I met later
on in life as being an entertainment exect. The same
thing with Lauren, Like you and I met. First conversation
I have with you, it says, listen, probably make some
money with you, right, yeah, and that's how it went.

(01:15:11):
But he just knows a little bit of the backstory.
But yeah, So it all depends on how you want
to look at it as far as you're not being successful.
But listen, I made a life for it my dad. Listen,
I paid her tuition. That's entertainment. Do you understand her
private school tuition, which we all know is very expensive?
All through entertainment. So someone asks, hey, you weren't successful.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 24 (01:15:32):
I wouldn't say that. I say, I see him for
pretty well.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Are you probably about to ask this? Then I'm interested
in know.

Speaker 20 (01:15:36):
So from the artist's perspective, then you transition into the
executive side because of the relationships, and what is that transition?
Because you started at eight an executive is an adult
making real DOK decisions.

Speaker 24 (01:15:44):
Right, Well, it's two folds to it. Right, As I said,
I've been a college professor teaching communication courses. Now with
communication to understand the art of connecting with others. Were
first connecting with yourself, and we were talking about once
I understood and fully came of who I am, a
higher sense of awareness of me. I understood my abilities.

(01:16:06):
I understood how I can build relationships. So I just
started to build and form credible relationships with people, building trust,
but in a strategic way, not in a manipulative way,
just very strategic and like I can talk a lot
about me and MV because MB and I made some
money together and our relationship build, and I was intentional
on how we're building our relationship. So what I did

(01:16:28):
is I just merged the world between entertainment and education
and made a life.

Speaker 4 (01:16:33):
So what is the art of calculator communication?

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
And how has that helped you?

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
Okay goat to get through all those different worlds.

Speaker 24 (01:16:38):
So the art of calculator communication, what I would do
is this, right, say with Lauren for instance, Right I
met Lauren at the Brooklyn Nets event. Now I understand
it takes more than one encounter for us to start
building some type of relationship. But we have to have
that first encounter. That have to be a genuine encounter.

(01:16:59):
It has to be made mean. Someone can help build
that bridge between you and I, and I use June.
June and he's manager. Whoever's listening. I said, June, do
me a favor. Let her know, stamp me right, let
her know. So June went to you and said, Hey, Harry, yo,
this is my guy. That's all I needed to start
building some type of communication with you. In order for
Lauren and I to build a relationship, I have to

(01:17:20):
get her to peel back hilarious. I have to try
to get to know her. The closer I get to her,
the more of the chance I have of doing great
business with her. I just can't pick up the phone
and say hey, I have a bunch of deals for you.
She doesn't even know who I Yeah. Yeah. We have
to build trust. So I have to get her to
pill back layers. I have to ask her questions. But
if she never responds, like say, if I say, hey,

(01:17:40):
as simple as this, Laurna, how was your day today great?

Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
So far?

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Besides dealing with Charlomagne.

Speaker 4 (01:17:45):
But other than that, I'm the best faut of her day.

Speaker 24 (01:17:47):
For the other day, what are your plans tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
We have a flight? Wow, well not them, but the
producers and stuff.

Speaker 24 (01:17:53):
Now check this out right? So I would have to
work a little bit harder now with Lauren, because although
I asked these questions and I know we're on it's
a lot going on. I asked her how it was
her day, right, and she said how what they was?
She didn't say how was yours?

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
Too?

Speaker 20 (01:18:09):
Oh sho, sorry, so's I'm interesting?

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Pat the next question, I know I would know it's fine.

Speaker 24 (01:18:16):
I'm interested in knowing about her day, but I want
to see how much interest she's holding in me to
know about me as well, and sooner or later that
would come. This is hour made me like our second encounter.
But if I can't get you to have that exchange
with me, I have to work a lot harder and
be more strategic and to get you to communicate with me.
And if you never do that, it's like, all right,

(01:18:36):
this person doesn't have any interest in building with me
in this area.

Speaker 4 (01:18:40):
We're still kicking it with Harryo.

Speaker 5 (01:18:42):
Harrio is a professor ex murder Inc. Artist as well,
and how to Irv God, these death affect you.

Speaker 24 (01:18:48):
Bro the passion of I see how it affects me
and everyone around, Like I am very very very close
with Jah, Right, IRV and I were really cool, but
I'm closer with Jah. It affect me because in this way,
no one may not know this outside of his family.
Irv is such a family family man.

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
Right.

Speaker 24 (01:19:08):
I have never seen a family as close as his
in my life. I've never seen it so and he
was like the hero of the family. And for in
no disrespect to anyone else in the family that's doing
great things, but he was like a hero. And so
for the hero to pass, and see how that affects

(01:19:29):
the family dynamic, it made me. How it affects me
may become closer with my family, Like Irv is the
type where listen, if it's holidays, his house is packed
with the whole family, not just him and the kids.
It's nieces, it's nephews, it's aunts and uncles. It's like
thirty people running around his house. And it was just

(01:19:51):
a loving, loving, loving family. A lot of people didn't
see that side of them. You see Murder Inc. You
see the music or you see the problems with the
city sent or whatever, so on and so forth. God
was an amazing family man. And to watch that and
as a father, yeah, it affects me. I want to
be closer with my family the way IRV is with
his family. So that's how I would say to Fame.

Speaker 3 (01:20:11):
You know what's interesting when you talk about the art
of communication, like I like the way IRV communicated. It
may have rubbed some people the wrong way, but I
like it because it's direct. Like when we talked about
how you know, it was intentional. He wasn't a small talker.
It was this is what we're doing, this is how
we're doing it, this is how I think.

Speaker 4 (01:20:28):
It should go.

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
Right.

Speaker 12 (01:20:29):
I like that.

Speaker 24 (01:20:30):
No, listen, absolutely, it's something to be admired there. Everyone
has different strategies on how they communicate. IRV being direct
may work for him with certain people, but I'm quite
sure it didn't work whatever, it didn't work with everyone, right,
But so it all depends on what your style is.

(01:20:51):
And I was thinking about something. Yeah, some people don't
like small talk, and that's fine. Like in the book,
I mentioned a term called farming and hunting. Those different
ways of nurture and a relationship. When we're cutting a
small talk out with I'm hunting. I know exactly what
I want, I know what you have. We know we
can make that work. But every relation doesn't work like that.
Sometimes we have to farm. We have to plant seeds.

(01:21:14):
I don't know where the relationship may go, but I
know we can possibly build. So I'm a plant seeds.
Then we just water the seeds, water the seeds, and
next thing you know, we're eating off the fruit from
the seeds. And it's really important. Yes, I'm an entertainment executive.
So all we're talking about is how these theories affect
in business. It's in your personal life as well. If

(01:21:36):
a young man is trying to get to know a
young lady or vice versa, is ways you go about that.
You have to be intentional, you have to be strategic. Yes,
what is your goal by dating this woman? That's transaction.
Cut the small talk doesn't work like that in your
personal life, right, you have to farm. Your daughter is
seeing someone, they're not engaging the like that. I'm sorry,

(01:22:03):
he's twenty three, right, but that young gentleman, he had
to farm the relationship with Madison, Right, he had to farm.
It wasn't a transaction to a hunting relationship. It doesn't
work like that. He had to be intentional, farm, plant seeds,
whatever thocs are, check up on it. Her birthday, No,
her dad's birthday, so on and so forth. So farming
and hunting are two different ways of building a relationship.

Speaker 5 (01:22:23):
I look at college courses as sometimes outdated, yes, right,
and that bothers me a lot, especially with my kids,
you know, going to college because a lot of things
that they want to learn or that they're into. A
lot of times these colleges don't necessarily teach right. My
first major was communications. I left communications, who went to
business management and marketing. But for me, what I wanted
to learn for communications wasn't helping me with what I

(01:22:46):
wanted to do, right. Communications was a lot of reading,
a lot of intro, a lot of this, a lot
of that. But I wanted to be hands on this
stuff like that. So talk about some of the courses
that you think should be in college and some of
the things that should be taken out of college, right,
that's a that's great because I have no disrespect a
lot of the algorithms that I learned in college.

Speaker 4 (01:23:04):
I don't use. I've never used, and if I have to,
I have a computer that will do absolutely.

Speaker 24 (01:23:09):
Now it's two parts I'm going to get into.

Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
Now.

Speaker 24 (01:23:11):
Some of the courses out in college. I have to
be really careful because I'm still a college professor and
I don't want the college to be listening right now.
So I do believe there should be more entrepreneur courses
in college. We're going to need AI courses in college.
We're gonna need real estate courses in college. You're gonna
need these things in colleges now. I believe certain colleges

(01:23:34):
are doing it. Jar Ru's son shout out to Jordi.
He just graduated from scad in Atlanta, Savannah, I'm sorry, Savannah.
And he was home for his sister's wedding and we
were in the kitchen at Jo's house and he was saying,
how all these different courses that he's taking us get
that it was never available to me as a student.

(01:23:55):
So some of the courses that we're talking about, like
we've been out, we've been removed from college for a
little bit. Some of these colleges are doing that, like
teaching him how to cold he can build games. He
can do all the things that I would never even
throw it of.

Speaker 4 (01:24:07):
My daughter has been talking about she likes.

Speaker 24 (01:24:10):
But like even when Joe talks, he's like, listen, I've
visited campus, and I'm like, I've never seen a school
like this. So yeah, I do think we need those
particular courses. Now, let me just rewind as far as
like the communication course I mentioned in the book, I
credit Eddie Murphy to where I so one of the
reasons I'm here today. In the movie Boomerang, like Boomerang

(01:24:30):
is one of my favorite movies. You seemed like he
was a marketing executive. He garners so much attention for woman.
He was smart, he was he was everything. I'm watching
this and this goes back to my representation. I'm watching
this movie, I'm like, I want to I want to
do that. I want to know how to do that.
So I was in college at the time. So I
went to my counselor. I said, listen, in this movie,

(01:24:52):
this guy, Eddie Murphy play Marcus Grant. He's a marketing executive.
How do I get into marketing? She said, well, you
need to understand what communication to understand what marketing is.
I said, well, sign me up for all communication courses
X amount of years later, I'm doing marketing strategies for
my own company, so I needed that course. I needed
these courses to be able to do what I'm doing now. Well,

(01:25:14):
tell them where they could get this book. Brother, You
can get the book on Amazon. Right if you're listening,
you could just type in Harold Wilkerson. If you typing
Harry O, nothing's gonna come up. People always make that
mistake too, but that's a different story. Yeah, but you
can get the book on Amazon and a search engine

(01:25:37):
just putting it's beyond Words by Harold Wilkerson and then
to pop up. So please get the book. In one
of the lessons I want you to understand and learn,
like to leave it off. I close deals with the
w n B A and I close deals with the
NBA from going over six six or seven seasons now.
And it all started for me attending one basketball game.

(01:25:57):
I attended a gain in and then went from the
person who handed me my ticket to go sit on
the floor, and through strategic and intentional communication, I started
closing deals with the CEO of the New York Liberty,
the CEO of the Brooklyn Nets like it went from
attending like how do you attend the game? And then
fast forward you closing deals with the owners and CEOs

(01:26:22):
of w NBAS and nbas and you hear all that
and you pick up the book.

Speaker 5 (01:26:26):
All right, Harry, Old ladies and gentlemen, pick up the book.
It's beyond words available now.

Speaker 4 (01:26:31):
Appreciate you, brother. It's HARRYO. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Club, Good morning everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
It's DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarry is Charlamage the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
Lauren becoming a straight facts.

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
She gets the from somebody that knows somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
I'm a long groand that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
She'd be having the latest on the latest with Lauren Low.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything. It's the leader on
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
Talk to me, all right, y'all.

Speaker 20 (01:27:08):
So in wrapping up our BT Awards talk, we do
got to talk about the fact that Jess you mentioned
you would love to have seen Kay Sanat and Drew
Ski a bit more than the BET Awards involved.

Speaker 9 (01:27:17):
Right.

Speaker 20 (01:27:18):
I was walking into the radio show this morning here
in La with someone who said to me, the only
reason that he even knew about the awards or how
he watched the Awards last night was because of Kay
Sannat's stream. The stream went viral yesterday for a few moments.
The biggest moment was one of the big moments was
Kay Sanat and Walle having an interaction. Let's take a
listen to the original interaction between Kysonat and A hold up.

Speaker 4 (01:27:40):
Us good, I'll beat you a y wally. Oh my god,
that was somebody crazy. Hey, the whole chat knows him.
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
All work.

Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
Like Lodus?

Speaker 16 (01:28:06):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:28:07):
Yeah, so so because Kai didn't know who while they was,
that clip started to go insanely viral.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
So now Kai is in the Awards, He's sitting there.

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
Well, they my guy. But that situation not that serious.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
I really just hope he playing well.

Speaker 5 (01:28:27):
I think Kyle is not as twenty three is forty.
He probably does not know why Let's music.

Speaker 6 (01:28:33):
But even if he doesn't know, you know, the chat
told him and it ain't like he just said anything crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:28:40):
Oh cool, and he may have checked him out.

Speaker 2 (01:28:43):
You know what I'm saying. But I would be happy
that the chat even.

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
Knew who I was.

Speaker 4 (01:28:46):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:28:47):
You know your chat schooled you and who I was.
I wouldn't have came back and said anything.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
An age you know, I guess plays a factor.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
But do we we do realize when it comes to
art celebrity, regardless of how big something may seem in
your world, everything is niche Okay, if you think, if
you think everyone in the world knows everybody, then you're bugging.
And guess what. I can bring a bunch of screamers
in front of Lee who have tens of millions of
followers and he wouldn't know most of them. So the

(01:29:15):
Internet really made this much.

Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
Ado about nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:29:17):
But like Kyle wasn't disrespectful yourself. He said the wrong
name is Man. It was like, now that's why he
didn't flow the word that son.

Speaker 17 (01:29:24):
That was.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Light And if while it was going double back, double
back and introduce yourself to Kyle. You know what I'm saying, Like,
don't think everybody in the world knows you. When you
meet someone that you've never met before, introduce yourself. I've
seen Beyonce.

Speaker 4 (01:29:41):
Walk in the room and introduce herself to people. So
you can do that, so can you?

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
Absolutely, And just because you meet a person one time don't.

Speaker 4 (01:29:50):
Mean that they know you.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
That's right, walk up to him if that's the first
time meeting them, Yo, what's up?

Speaker 4 (01:29:55):
How are you? My name is such and such.

Speaker 6 (01:29:57):
You might gotta remind it like I met you said, Oh,
I didn't meet you that one time behind the stage.

Speaker 4 (01:30:05):
Okay, you know what you got there?

Speaker 12 (01:30:15):
What happened?

Speaker 22 (01:30:21):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
I have one more?

Speaker 20 (01:30:24):
One more, one more point from kai stream where he
was talking to Kevin Hart and Drew Ski about their
involvement and even how they got involved in show in
the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
Let's take a listen to that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
Listen, I'm gonna going there and I'm pulled to get
you all to do that. I know, I know, I know,
I know, I don't I don't do you.

Speaker 18 (01:30:39):
Know why you're roaming at I definitely said we would
not be able to watch the chat.

Speaker 4 (01:30:45):
I said, I'm not whole school.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
If Kyle cannot, that's back.

Speaker 24 (01:30:49):
That's w man.

Speaker 4 (01:30:55):
I got can many That is the trick.

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
Ain't gonn get up? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
Yeah, get herd for that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
And I know I'll tell you one thing to all
you Award shows are bugging if you don't pay costs
and not you know, six figures, high six figures to
live scream your award show from backstage, like whatever money
y'all spending on promotion and marketing for a bunch of
stuff people don't see. You better spend with that demographic
absolute you better give.

Speaker 5 (01:31:23):
Kay you know, high six figures it beforehand and during
the show, like you said, so you can promote it,
like he says.

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
Right, that kid said he didn't know anything about the
BT it was until.

Speaker 2 (01:31:33):
That was crazy. He was here for the awards, they came,
they came home. I was like, it was everywhere yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
Why did you think that was crazy? Think about all
these award shows that we didn't know that I didn't
know was on another day?

Speaker 4 (01:31:44):
What else?

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
What else? There was another award show.

Speaker 4 (01:31:45):
I was like, I don't even know that was on,
But Jackson, I think that was because, Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:31:53):
Because that Jlo opened up with, yes, that was the
AMAS American Music Awards.

Speaker 4 (01:31:58):
I think I saw that I was streaming that one
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
So yes, you should be paying cards about high six
figures to scream from backstage and during the award show.

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
I agree.

Speaker 20 (01:32:07):
As we wrap up, I know we've been talking a
lot about black music and culture. I do want to
say rest in peace to Sly Stone of the Slide
in the Family Stone band. You guys have known from
this song every day people, let's take a listen, and.

Speaker 4 (01:32:28):
It's a family affair. It's a family I want to
take you there, you go, It's a family.

Speaker 10 (01:32:38):
Slide.

Speaker 4 (01:32:39):
Got too many cases, too many.

Speaker 17 (01:32:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
He passed away in Monday in La Music.

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
I want to take you Higher.

Speaker 20 (01:32:48):
His family released a statement and said that he passed
away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friends,
and extended family. He was eighty two years old, so
I wanted to say rest in peace to him as
we close all the Black music convers station.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
I Uh, I saw one somebody said rest Pece of
Sly last night. I forgot who it was though.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
On the stage.

was looking for that one last night. I didn't see
