I was listening to what I was talking about when I came down to the Taser. Yes sir.
When it comes down to the taser, it can be deadly force just because if that person is not trained with it, they can use that as deadly force. Now normal taser takes at least five seconds, then they actually reactivate. But the longer that you keep holding that trigger, you can really hurt somebody. And if you do tap the trigger, you can actually do that. Okay, the police officer, you can go ahead and take their guns and do whatever. So that's definitely justified as a deadly force. Yeah, I think he was running away though. Like his back was saying he was running away. But he pointed the taser at the police officer. Yeah, he pointed it from a... Since like, can you shoot a taser from that far away? 25 feet. So how far was he? Because I feel like his back was turned. He was running. I want you to turn the way, Taser. No Taser. What if he had a gun and he turned away to the police officer with a gun in his hand? Do you know they knew it was a taser because he got it from the cops yeah but how do you...
Thank you. So how are you going to take a taser from a cop, right? And then run away and then turn around and not Think a cop is not gonna go ahead and shoot you. - Are you a police officer? - Yes. - Okay, so you know what the deadly force of a taste is. Now I'm just asking, 'cause I honestly don't know. I mean I got hit with a teaser one time and the force of that teaser put definitely put me on my ass, but I would just say, you know, it just seems strange because I thought they used the taser not as deadly force as an option, you know? Police officers are trained to use that taser but it's not for deadly force, but it doesn't have To somebody else that is not trained, you can definitely do some damage. Like that taser like can go Going somebody's a high and stuff like that. Okay, that's where you're pointing. Okay. Well, thank you for checking in bro - Thank you. - No problem, boss. You be safe out there. Hello, who's this? - Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. - Yeah, we can hear you, Claro.

Alright, let's get to the rumors and talk Wendy Williams. Listen up. This just in. All the guys. The rumor report. With Angela Yoo. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Alright, well according to reports and according to the US Sun, Wendy Williams' son Kevin charged $100,000 to her Amex card before Wells Fargo froze her accounts. Now Kevin has released a statement and he gave this statement to the US Sun. He said, I vehemently deny any allegations of unauthorized use of my mother's Amex card. This is a false narrative perpetuated to justify freezing her accounts.
Not sure what's wrong or what's right here, but you know, charging that money. But how can they say it's wrong if, just like my daughter uses my card and I say, Yo, go buy this or buy that, and if there was a problem, then I would say it was a problem. Wendy would have said it's a problem. That's still her money. That's her family's money. They can't decide who uses that money and who doesn't. According to this quote unquote source, you know, there were several red flags ahead of the accounts being frozen. That was one of them. And they said that Kevin was demanding that Wendy's advisor pay the bill instead of Wendy. Source claimed Kevin Jr. is saying that's not true. I don't get it twisted when he don't know. I highly doubt it. I highly doubt he did that without her permission. Yeah, I highly doubt it. Yeah, that doesn't seem right. All right now Usher is responding to Diddy's R&B is dead Proclamation. And here is what he had to say during.
Interview with bevelations or even like puffs saying, you know R&B is dead. He sounds nuts to me It's not it's not it sounds crazy. I'm looking at what I think is getting ready to happen between puffs And JD, you know, in Atlanta to celebrate the music. Yo, y'all don't live without. - Neither one of y'all. - Nope. So, you know, yeah, if it's a thirst trap moment. Either you know they're saying you trolling. Oh man. Keep that sh*t in the comment section. I'm not with none of that Okay She gets spicy. Hey listen hello. Hello We can hear me. Oh, yeah, I agree with us. You can't declare a whole genre of music day just because you know your particular single may not be doing what you wanted to do. Like I know Diddy's promoting his record with Bryson Tiller. I don't know how
Was doing or how it's not doing but uh it feels like you know it's just promotion for that single but to me but the problem with that is is that record in my opinion ain't necessarily rmb it's more poppy to me it's not really poppy it's it's very up tempo it's i don't know Well, you know what? Coming from a DJ, that's a great thing to say. And I would say that to Puff if I had a conversation.
I'd be like look, you know you saying R&B is dead But you don't necessarily have an R&B record out just cuz you have an R&B sing on a record doesn't make it R&B Whoa, yeah, I think puff cut his mic off puff. Definitely cut his mic off What just happened Alright and Capitol Records has cut ties with that AI rapper. We just played for y'all yesterday F and Mika now Envy, you said it was trash. Mm-hmm and According to this statement. You back show me. Okay. Yes Just cut me off said in a statement provided to complex We offer our deepest apologies to the black community for our insensitivity And signing this project without asking enough questions about equity and the creative process behind it We thank those who have reached out to us with construction
to feedback in the past couple of days. Your input was invaluable as we came to the decision to end our association with the project. Here is the music. This AI rapper was an amalgamation of gross stereotypes, appropriative mannerism that derived from black artists, complete with slurs infused in lyrics. That's what this open letter to Capitol Records said. - The artist was Tekashi 6ix9ine. It seemed like they were playing off of Tekashi. Play a clip of it. Can I ask a question? How do you, how, well, first of all, how do you drop an AI wrapper? Do you just turn the computer off? Is that, that number one? Yes. That's what you do? Yep. Reboot. And I'm, I'm so, I'm, I'm, what I got to reboot? No, I'm saying you reboot the... Oh, and I'm so confused because I saw it and it looks racially ambiguous to me. I didn't think he was white or black. I just thought it was AI. But when you say that, I'm like, Oh, that was a 6ix9ine clone, I guess.
And he's AI so he's mimicking a rapper so he had all the stereotypical tropes of a rapper This era, right? The change, the dreads, the tats. So who's, so who's, who's really at fault here? Is it the people who created the AI or is it, you know, the, the. He's mirroring because if he can't use it 6ix9ine can't use it either right so where's the petition to um 6ix9ine can't use the n-word or any These guys, I don't know what you call these people. I'm about to say racially ambiguous. I don't know, what is 69's race? - He's Mexican. - I think he's Mexican. So nobody who's black if you're a rapper, you can't use the n-word if you're not black? Just ask it. No, I mean it is what it is. I don't think it's right. Like, you know, what's a slur for a Mexican person? If a black person says that, then they cancel. Over then it's a wrap but i'm listen i'm with you but i'm just saying why are we not keeping why are we not keeping the same energy for the real rappers if you're Telling me that this is a clone of 6ix9ine, which now that she said I can see it. It sounds like it.
People aren't writing letters to the labels. That's not what it's supposed to be. That's what it sounds like. But they're not saying this is a clone of 6ix9ine. We're just noticing that as they put together this virtual rapper based off of all of these things, it does sound like 6ix9ine. Regardless, it sounds trash to me. And listen, I'm not about to sit here and defend the AI rapper because I truly don't care but an AI rapper using the n-word isn't Because he's racist is because whoever created cells Guy is mimicking rappers and using the n-word is what rappers do in their music. So if you don't like it to me, this is a classic example of the mirror effect. You might be looking at what you do. Yeah, I mean... Maybe you need to change. I'm sure the AI rapper what they did was got all the information of what sells. You know, dreads, tats on the face, the type of music that this, that, and the other, and they mimic what they believe.
Eve Sells. Like they show him getting beaten. It's the language rappers use. They show him getting beaten by a cop in a jail cell because he won't snitch. You know they also have him fabricating police brutality. Is or what our culture is. They say I'm getting beaten up by a cop. That's our fault. That's the culture's fault. Because the culture has accepted that for so long so now people think that's what you know hip-hop is so that's what they're mimicking. It's just the mirror effect. You don't like it? You gotta take a good hard look at the whole culture. You gotta demand the whole culture change. Well take whatever you got out your mouth bro. You gotta say- what you chewing on? Man shut up.
be a gay envy. That's not really gay envy. That's just envy. Oh my goodness. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. We got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes. We'll talk about a former Troy University football player who has filed a lawsuit against an ex-teammate and three coaches. We'll tell you what happened to him. It's awful. All right. Now we were talking that R&B is dead. A lot of people haven't heard the Didion Bryson tiller record. We'll play. A little bit of it now and then we'll get in the front page news. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 are foldable.

Not Poppy, you know what I mean? Pop music. Well, I feel like R&B is kind of pop, because it is popular music. Well, that was... I would say... Loot to Diddy, but you can't declare a whole genre of music dead because you know your single may not be doing what you want it to do Because as Envy said earlier, you know You're saying right now this record isn't really R&B. So you got to be the change you want to see in the world, right? You got to make an R&B record. All right. Well, let's get into front page news. Where we starting Yeezy? All right. Well, a former Truer University football player has filed a lawsuit against his ex-teammate and three coaches. He said he was abused while on the team. Now, they're not using the name of the player because of being a victim of sexual assault, but the suit contends that he was bullied because of the perception that he was hom*osexual. He was laying on his stomach on the floor of the players lounge watching a football game on his phone when he felt excruciating pain as a pool cue was shoved into his anus.
According to the lawsuit, a video circulated on social media showing the assault, which occurred as others watched and laughed, according to the suit. Now the former player... They've been watching too much N2D. - That was my friend Gano who that happened to. I remember that part. Now the three coaches knew about the abuse and did nothing to stop it according to this lawsuit. And so the alleged abuse occurred under the previous coaching staff as well. Can you imagine that? You just laying there watching and then somebody films that and then it circulates.
On social media and no one does anything? - I'm telling you, people play too much. I just read a story about in India, this guy had to have a red cup removed from his butt 'cause his friend stuck a red cup up his butt as a prank. - I think it was a metal cup. I seen that story. - You're plastic. - No, it couldn't have been no metal cup, Envy. - They said it was some type of metal cup, I thought. - How do you get a metal cup up your rectum? No, it couldn't have been metal. I thought it was a red plastic cup. You sure?
That would break, they would crumple. - But it would be easier to shove up there. - What kind of conversation are we having right now, man? Come on, stop it. - We're having a conversation about things that are happening in the world. It ain't our fault, these people crazy. - Let me just Google metal cup and butt. Let me see what pops up. Go ahead, B. - Whoa. - All right now, former Louisville Metro Police Department Detective Kelly Goodlett pleaded guilty to a felony conspiracy charge in federal court yesterday. That's the first officer who would be convicted for their role in the deadly 2020 raid on Breonna Taylor's home. Now, Goodlett resigned from the police department on August 5th, which is the day after the U.S. Department of Justice announced federal charges against her and three other Louisville police officers. And so, according to the DOJ, they alleged that Goodlett, along with her partner, Joshua Jaynes, knowingly provided false information to a judge in order to secure the search warrant for Taylor's apartment. The two falsely claimed they had verified with the U.S. Postal Inspector that Breonna Taylor's ex-boyfriend, who was the subject of a narcotics investigation, was getting packages delivered to Breonna Taylor's home. So, that was false, false, false. And now she has, yeah, she'll be sentenced November 21st.
That is your front page news. And it was a metal cup like I said. You still looking that out? Oh, the metal cup. There's a metal cup. I want to say too, you know, today Joe Biden is expected to announce a $10,000 student loan forgiveness program today. And that was a campaign promise that he kept that he would erase 10,000 in student loans I wish they would get rid of all of them just like they did PPP loans, but this is better than nothing And it's a kept campaign promise if he does it So I hope that goes through for everybody that's struggling with student loan debt out there Absolutely, and I believe it's for if you make with less than a hundred and fifty thousand or something like that 125 You said? All right. All right. Well, that is your front page news All right, when we come back Sarita Stibe will be joining us She's running for US Senate of Louisiana and she has a story at 19 years old. She was Sentenced to 120 months in federal prison for stealing a car and she's gonna break it down. She had to do her
She came out now she's running for US Senate of Louisiana And we gonna talk to when we come back and all the things that she's doing Would you imagine 19 years having to serve like nine years ten years in prison for stealing a car? Well, she talks about it. It's the Breakfast Club Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, she's running for US Senate of Louisiana, Sarita Stibe. Welcome. Good morning. Did I say your name right? Absolutely. Okay. Welcome. Welcome. Now I actually met Sarita through my good friend Topeka Sam and the two of you collected On a lot of different projects together. Yes, absolutely. So let's talk about your background and I think... People need to hear your story. We were actually in New Orleans And when I tell you we went out to eat at Murrow's and she had people at the table crying Just talking about her her story and how she's gotten to where she is
Is now. Yeah, so a little bit about me and my story. It starts probably Early on in childhood, I had experiences with abuse throughout my life and by the age of And it kind of led me to a pathway. I felt like I was really angry and upset all of the time. Caused me to make a lot of bad decisions irrespective of like where I was in my life. So I was on a full scholarship to Xavier University. In New Orleans in physics and engineering and in the United States Navy but by the time I was 19 I found myself in prison so I was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison 20 years in state prison 1.9 million dollars in restitution all for the same crime. What did you do? So my charge was a use of fire to commit a felony. We stole cars from a car dealership and blew the car dealership up. What? Okay, so you stole cars from the car dealership. Yes. How many cars? I think we were charged with six. And then why did you blow up the car dealership?
Because one of my co-defendants thought his face was on the camera, that he could be caught, and that was the first thing that we thought of, you know, to cover your tracks more, you know. Well, I mean, what's more, but I would have thought the same thing. Now, let me ask you a question. At the age of 19 and Envy, I'm going to say this is interesting because we had this debate the other day about when people do things as a youth, when they're young and they make these huge mistakes in their life and how forgiving people should be of that once, you know, they do go to jail. Or is there some type of rehab that could be done? happen without jail. So I definitely do not think that jail is rehabilitative. How many times did you serve? years than two months. For a crime that normally would have held about three years, but because... I was sentenced in the federal system and I was sentenced under Indictorian minimums, you know, that's a big thing across the country right now. People who are doing obscene amount of time because of mandatory minimums. That was my case so much.
Judge had no discretion. I didn't have priors, you know, or anything like that, but that was my mandatory minimum. And then one of the things that. Working with Topeka now on is that I had restitution as well. So I was sent to ...a mandatory victims restitution act which made it necessary... I like the judge also didn't have any leniency to go either way that had to impose restitution. So that is how I ended up with the seniors. The federal system, $1.9 million in restitution. And then the state came in and said, Hey, we wanna charge you with a part of the crime in the state as well. And that was how I got to 20 years in the state. - So I was gonna ask, so for most people don't know, and this is what really irks me when it comes to a lot of this stuff. So when you stole the vehicles, why did you steal them? - Money. - To sell them? - Absolutely. - So now, and this is why I say this always bothers me 'cause you get a lot of kids and that's yourself teenagers, they steal these cars and they get two, $3,000 a car. How much would you get in a car? - That's about 20. - $20,000 a car.
Tell it to a guy that's selling it and probably getting $70,000, $80,000. Absolutely. But that person that was selling it for $70,000, $80,000 and shipping them overseas and getting the big dollars, he was never caught. No. And you know, I was listening to. DMX and Rough Riders a lot around that time. So Eve had this amazing song called Ride or Die Chick. Ride or Die Chick. Yeah, I really believed that, you know, in my head at the time. You know, we didn't cooperate, didn't talk about it, didn't say anything about it because I felt like if you had evidence on the person, you could get it. Whatever but not even realizing like the level of praying people do on you And kids and you're you know that they're in hard situations are tough situations so like my story was I was in the military at that time. I was making $410 every two weeks, but I was They, you know, had a car, had responsibilities. I went to my superiors in the neighborhood. I'm like, Hey, I need to get another job. They're like, No, you know, just let it go.
Everything go and you can get it back and I was like, can't do that. Like how am I drive? You know, at 19 I can't even comprehend letting my car go. And it really bothers me because you know, especially I mean, you know now car thefts us through the roof right now And New Orleans is horrible. And mostly what they do is they get these, they prey on these 16 year olds, 17 year olds, and 18 year olds, right? And usually because if they get caught, they come out right away and then they can get back and doing it. And they pay these kids three to five thousand dollars a car. And these kids are still in McLarens, Rolls Royces, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Ford, Scias. And then they ship these cars overseas. For 30, 40, 50,000, but these kids are risking their life for $3,000. And not just jail time, because you run into the wrong house or you run into the wrong car and somebody shoots at you and puts them in a bad predicament. And we were having this conversation on air that was like, I understand and I feel bad for these kids. Because they're looking at it as, oh, this is a quick $3,000 flip. Somebody left their key fob and I'm going to take it, you know, which is really sad. So what happened with the restitution?
Did you have to pay that back or you still paying it back? How does it work? So I paid on the restitution for 20 years on Trump's last day in office. That Lil Wayne got his pardon, I got a full presidential pardon as well. So it took away my restitution. The crime, the federal system, and it was wiped away. But I paid, I mean, the way the federal system is. You pay while you're incarcerated as well. So it's really your family paying. So from the time I stepped foot in prison to the time I stepped foot out, I paid for 20 years. So how do you feel about Donald Trump? 'Cause, you know, a lot of people hate Donald Trump and you look at people like Lil Wayne and you look at people like Kodak and yourself, you can't necessarily hate a man that freed you, right? Absolutely. But... -What you was about to say? -Oh, no. I was saying, but it was a presidential party and you were already out. Yes, yes, yes. But he freed me from the sentence and the restitution and all that stuff. Right. Um, I think that.
I could use the devil to bless you. -Mm. -Um, I'ma start there. And then there's a saying that says, A broken clock can be right twice a day. -Mm-hmm. -Um, the other fallacy is that he... Something he did grant me a pardon but every day since I have been out I have worked you know To change laws, to liberate people, to really give back to a community that is always forgotten about. So I deserved it. You know, so for me, it was, I just, you know, everything just coming full circle in a combination I felt like of all of the work that I had been putting in over the last few years. So I do think that if I'm working for people, it is my job to work with whoever I need to work with in order to get the things-- my community needs. - Did he ever try to come back out to you and try to use you as a tool because he granted you this?
Absolutely not. He does not talk about my part and don't mention it mention it at all. And you know, He endorsed Senator Kennedy in Louisiana. So, no, absolutely not. We have more with Sarita Star when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. ...that you had when you first got home. The simple explanation for me is... Definitely. I feel like it's a calling, you know, that's been placed on my life. I am a very anybody who... Knows me I'm real stubborn I don't make decisions lightly or take things for granted that I have or the experiences that I have. But I remember right before I went to prison, I was having this argument. I felt like with God in the car, I literally walked out of church. It was Mardi Gras. I was 19. And I'm having a conversation with God and I hear him saying you need to be in church You need to listen you need to do this and in my mind. I'm like No, I'm 19, I wanna party, I wanna drink, I wanna smoke weed, I wanna have fun. And it was like this argument I felt like I was gonna make.
Like that I was having, you know, with God on my conscience or, you know, whatever. And, um, that, I feel like that this'll be, Cause me to be in prison for 10 years. So I feel like my disobedience comes at a different cost. So when I got This message about two years ago, it took me a while. You know, I tried to do everything in my power to convince myself that this is what I shouldn't be doing. I did a poll. I talked to people. These things but I still came to the same conclusion that this was something that I needed to do over the As few years I've definitely been working in the legislative space on a federal level in a state level when I got out of Then I couldn't go to college. I was denied the opportunity to go to college because there's also the box, have you been convicted of a felony on college applications? So I-- I was denied. Two years later I used the same exact application. The only change I made was I unchecked the box. And I got in. I got scholarships.
And you know fundamentally that just didn't feel good so after I graduated from college I have a degree in clinical laboratory science. I work in a hospital prior to opening. In my nonprofit, we went back in and we were like, something has to change. So we passed legislation in the state of Louisiana in 2017 to remove the box. Off college applications for purposes of admissions. And we made Louisiana the first state to do that. So since then, we've passed similar legislation. And six other states supporting advocates on the ground in those states to like change the laws and advocate for their own rights. Community every year since 2017 I've passed at least one piece of legislation in the state of Louisiana the dignity act we passed the prime primary caretaker legislation allow Those bills have been copied in places like California, and on a federal level, we worked to remove the question off of the Common App. For students to apply who have convictions, we were able to put inside of the code.
With omnibus bill, we were able to slide some legislation that gave people who are incarcerated access to Pell Grants. So there's a lot of work that I've been doing to, you know, in the liberation of my people and trying to make sure that people who have make mistakes have access to the things that That they need in order to begin to try to change their life. You said that you were listening to music, you were a heavy DMX fan and you were listening to Eve and Ride or Die and that's what you thought you should do. So how do you look at artists now and their music now because you know people say you know it's just entertainment but obviously it had a heavy influence on you in Louisiana the crime rate is through the roof like a lot of our So how do you look at music and things that the kids hear now? I think music we cannot deny has an effect on people. While being creatives and making music and painting has like this healing effect on a
like getting out the things that they want to get out, but we also have to acknowledge and be aware. I'm responsible for the messages that we are putting out that have the opposite effect. You know, everything in life has good intentions. Some have bad intentions, but the Tensionality is just the same. So I think that as a community, we have to push the narrative that this is entertainment. - Run up in the 90s, it wasn't being pushed as entertainment, it was being pushed as a way of life. So this was being fed to kids and teenagers like myself. This is what you have to do. In order to be here. And I think that that is one thing that I'm grateful for is through the evolution of music, we now begin to talk about it as if it's entertainment versus a way of life. - But it is so too, you can't snitch, right? Because that's part of it also. Seriously though, because people... Look at you so if you were to be like look this is the person that is in charge
preyed upon as a young teen. - Right. - That's very different. - But you also know that too, that you can't tell because now what? After I done told who the real person is, now what happens to me? - Streets a long time ago were a lot different. I feel like now people, you know, are being, it's okay to tell. Like that culture has also changed too because like. You know 20 30 years ago a person would tell what happened and they would come up missing Or they had some type of repercussions or consequences. Now it is not frowned upon. Telling all the time. I don't know it's just different right? But I think that What I had to do and reconcile for myself is like, while, you know, Envy pointed out, yeah, like I was being preyed upon, I was also raised to take responsibility, like for my actions. Oh, I was guilty. I did do what they said that I did and I was gonna serve my time
I pled guilty, you know, even though at the time I didn't even understand what I was pleading guilty to I pled guilty because I did exactly what they said that I did I get that but see you also gotta understand is There's an adult here right that even though you could say snitching and not snitching I think a lot of his bull but there's an adult here that finds young teens and says this kid has no money This kid is effed up. This kid has no schooling. No education doesn't know it just wants to get out I can, I can prey on this kid and get him to do what I want him to do. And that's not right. No, people can call that snitching or whatever, but, but it's no different. It's abuse. It's no different than, um, you know, somebody being molested, somebody being sexually assaulted because it takes the same level of person that is preying on an individual. So in that sense, I, you know,
We do it. No, but I had an adult that says hey because why didn't don't do it? They don't do it because the adult knew better but at that time The person that's being preyed upon looks as the prey. You know, there's all type of like, you know, syndromes that are associated with like a person who is causing you to do, you know, incorrect. Things are things that you shouldn't be doing you also see them as a savior in a lot of ways because reason why they can offer kids $3,000 to do a thing and this is not all kids because I didn't come from a socio-economic background associated with people who you think are in prison my mom was a judge when I went to prison you know my dad was a supervisor at an oil refinery so what let's Me to prison was trauma. It wasn't poverty. Um, but people who are are in poverty and people who don't own anything other than their Facebook page. And that's in debate whether they own it or not. Like you have is your self-respect or your self-worth. When somebody tries to take that from you, that is why kids feel like I can take someone.
Life in the commission it is judge though absolutely and your mom i'm your and i'm we can talk about it now your mom didn't try to turn They make some moves cuz she's a judge. So she did my mom shout out to my mom her birthday's tomorrow She definitely did. She did everything in her power to like extricate me from this system. But when she talks about it from. Her point of view, she felt like they were more harsh on me because of who she was. And then if you also think about it, like we're from the south, you know. There's this air of, you know, people of color shouldn't be doing certain things. It feels like a lot of what I went through was because of who she was, you know? We have more with Sarita Star when we come back. She's running for US Senate of Louisiana, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Everybody is DJ envy Angela Yee Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club. We're still kicking it with Sarita Stuybe She's running for US Senate of Louisiana Yeah I want to talk about this school because like you said you don't really talk about the things that you have implemented and done But you've also helped other people become What is it lab technicians? Yeah, can you talk about that a little bit because I just saw that recently another class graduated. - Yes, so that is one of like something that I'm extremely proud of. So when I started going back to school, Medical school. I don't know if it was naivete or what it was, but I just knew I was going to go to school and be a doctor. Um, When I got on the path and the journey of doing my undergrad degree and I found out about clinical laboratory science, that's where my degree is in. And I fell in love with it and I was like, okay, I'm gonna get a working degree because I'm in my 30s, I got a kid, I need to work and go to school. So I'm gonna get this working.
And I'm gonna go to med school and I'm gonna you know raise my 3 year old son like you know that was my goal so The way that I did it was I became a lab assistant while I was working on my clinical laboratory science degree. And what I found out is like... All of the barriers that you have to overcome to enter a profession at a higher level were A lesson at a lower level. So when I decided to open the nonprofit, I wanted to create a lab assistant program where women could get certified and licensed. Has lab assistance and then that would be their entryway into healthcare fields and then from there they could upgrade their degree they can get go to a two Degree or a four-year MLS degree they could go to be midwives doctors whatever they wanted to do because once they went through that initial entry point as a
Then the ceiling, you know, became unreachable. So I, um, it didn't happen, you know, worked on it, created 15 other programs before that one actually took off. So we were able to get some funding and support from multiple entities, the Hilton Foundation, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, just all of these different places because the COVID pandemic definitely showed was that there was a shortage of lab personnel and people to learn. Like work in the laboratory setting, which is something we've all known for years, but it really heightened it. So there was an appetite to do a rapid reskilling program and do a program inside of the prison to get people certified and licensed as lab assistants. So we began working with hospitals. To get job placement and just all of these different things. And, um, to date, we have graduated at six months, um, close to 30 women. -Hey, congrats. -Yeah. Thank you.
Yeah, and they are being placed in hospitals now. We help them, you know, we do everything. We pay any probation fees that they need in order to maintain their licensure. We pay for the applications, their fingerprints. We will buy you a license. Uniforms, we help with childcare, we help with transportation, because you know, people think that when you give... About an opportunity that that's all that they need. But if you're not invested in a person taking advantage of the opportunity, it's like you had and even giving it to them. It's still out of reach because they can't do all of the things that they need in order to grab hold of the opportunity. So all of the programs at the organization. I'm at operation restoration are really like holistic and built in a way where like if you don't do this thing It's truly because you're not ready at this time because we try to Forsee any barrier and remove it for you. And when is the election November 8th, November 8th? Yes, everybody listening and they love you
and want to support how can they support you? Yeah campaigns need money people okay. Kennedy has a whole lot of money in his campaign right now so we got to make sure Sarita is competitive in that way also. Absolutely. I think that our community doesn't really understand in the same way that other communities know that like people tell me I'm gonna vote for you and I'm like thank you so much I appreciate it but if we don't get some money you won't be able to Vote for me. Even if you can do $10 guys, everything helps. So every on all social media my handles are support, Serita Saib. So that's on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter it's support, Serita Saib. That's Y-R-I-T-A-S-T-E-I-B. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Support Sarita. And that's the website as well?
- The website is just www.soritastime.com. - Yeah, I'm glad that you came up here because I did want you to just, your story to me is so fascinating and the work that you do also is like very organic and I just feel like you'll be doing this regardless. It's not because you're doing this because you're running for office. This is the work that you've been putting in prior to this and voices like this, we need. And so just for Louisiana to hopefully get some done. Diversity and representation for a black woman to finally have this type of position would be really important. Yeah, and I'm the only woman in the race and I am also pro-choice and all of the... Things that I think that I know how to, you know, fight for as it relates to women, but protecting marriage rights. Absolutely. I mean. My wife, if they take away, you know, marriage protection rights, like, it affects me. Like, my wife and myself.
We met when we were 19. She's formerly incarcerated as well. She does amazing work in the bail industry. Safety and Freedom Fund in New Orleans because that's one of the programs that we bond people out who are unable to pay their bond. But I mean, it's like, this is what we do all day, every day. This is who we are. And people say, Sarita, like, why are you running? It is not just because I feel like I have to. It is also like... This is the next iteration of the places that we have been locked out of and that it is my responsibility to do everything in my power to grant access to spaces for people to begin to say what their needs are and say what their needs are. Say, hey, this is what we want. This is the type of policy that we need to see to bring relief to our communities. I don't think that you know my place in life is to do things for our people. It is to support and do things with people so that they
Can get the things that they need. So that is my driving force. I've done a lot of work on the federal level, but what I also understood is like people don't even know what senators do. What they're responsible for and we've seen some of them blocking bills. And man, listen, the US Senate is the long game. Like, you know, for real, like the things that we are fighting for today will affect your children and your grandchildren. Children like what we're seeing today in the world is from the Clinton administration you know The Bush administration is not from Biden and Trump. We haven't even seen those effects yet. I think that people just really, really don't understand that and they don't grasp all of the things that the US senators are responsible for. Well I just donated so... You go out there and you donate right now. Please. Please. It doesn't, you can start off with $10.
On the tab is a little more than that but you can donate whatever you want all right so no federal elections the maximum is 2900 you can't donate more than 2900 I'm have to send it back to you you know anyone you want $10 100 250 5015 - or 2900 like she said you did you No, but I'm going to Make sure you donate again, it's Sarita stab s y r i ta st e ib calm and we appreciate you for joining us. Yes Thank y'all so much for having me. Just don't know how much I appreciate it. Thank you. All right. It's the Breakfast Club.
This is the Ruma Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Close. Man, this Megan Thee Stallion versus Carl Crawford and Jay Prince back and forth is not going anywhere. Now Jay Prince is defending Carl Crawford amidst all of this Megan Thee Stallion label issues. He posted for years, We have stood by quietly as Megan and her management at Roc Nation has lied about Carl Crawford and his 1501 label. The truth is that Carl discovered, developed and fully financed Megan earlier in her career, which led to a life-changing distribution agreement for her with 300 Entertainment. From 1501's earliest agreement with Megan long before Megan was a household name, 1501 generously agreed to give Megan 40% of its profits, which is substantially more than the customary record royalty that a new artist receives from a record label. Any attempt to portray a contract that provides a new unknown artist with 40% of the label's profits as unconscionable or unfair is blatantly false and contrary to the customs or norms in the music industry. So Jay Prince is saying the deal is she got 40% of the profits and that's not something that's usual in the music business. Alright now. Why do they keep going back and forth? Why don't they settle us in court? Well you know Megan Thee Stallion, she's suing for a million dollars and they've been going back and forth and she posted when my mama died I knew a bunch of hood and words who just started a label for the first time were not going to be able to manage me properly. So I got with Roc by this time I was a bigger
Asked to renegotiate, not leave. What was wrong with that? That man is greedy. I'm so over these grown ass men trying to take credit away from the work me and my mama put into the beginning of my career. Me and my mom developed my career. I was already known for freestyling and I was already working on Tina Snow before I got to 1501. Now here's what Carl Crawford had to say. - Just saying, y'all so real. You ain't never in Houston. You only put South Walker on the project. Because you ain't been around and you want everybody to think oh you H-town United Southside when I'm here you ain't even from the Southside Man, what is y'all talking about? Don't everybody know what happened? You know, they gonna act like they cool and all that sh*t. Man, please. I mean, I ain't worried about y'all. T-Fares ain't worried about you. Y'all know that. You ain't gonna see him again until you need it, until he need y'all for something else. They come to Houston is when they from just some type of some type of show or something who else you help put on make
You ain't got on no girls project. I ain't see you get on Ken and me and leave with Jolie. You know what I'm talking about? There's other girls from Houston that you could help put on. So real, when you gonna do that? Now she said on social media they keep signing people and everyone got the same story. Go find all the girls and the guys that started over there with me and some of the girls after me. Ask anybody in Houston how that man is fake. He said he talked so much about J Prince. Now that's your bestie, okay. He also tried to say that... Is not even from Houston. >> I'm making plan when they was a kid, nobody. The Ace Tom, Heidi ain't really from Ace Tom.
Because everybody around Houston, everybody want to say they're real Houston. We so loved out of town, you know what I'm talking about? Everybody look at Drake. He like, you know what I'm saying? You got that effect everywhere. Now Megan Thee Stallion responded to that and she said, One more thing because he's still going. This 42 year old man said he never heard a story about me playing as a kid where I'm from. Sir, I would hope 42 year old men couldn't tell you where I was playing at as a kid. Now I'm just a made up character from Houston. Nobody in Houston knows me. I just started claiming Houston when I got famous. Like it ain't school pictures and some more ish out in the world. It's too much. Man. Yeah, I'm sure the people that went to school with Megan. I was like, Oh, I have to play with it. Yeah, so man I hate that the two of them have to keep on going back and forth like this So I don't know when her contract is up But it feels like just fulfill the contract and move on and never deal with them again I've signed some things that I wish I hadn't signed
- well, I heard Charlamagne name from monks corner ain't no pictures of him in monks corner as a kid. We've seen one Know anything else All right now Sammy close Sammy versus Ray J There are some issues with the two of them, you know They're in the group RSVP together and Ray J went on his IG stories today Discuss the issue that he had with Sammy. Because of my actions and kick me out of the group because of my actions. All I'm saying is like, you know, and he ain't even really even f***ed back. And so it's you know, I feel real bad about it because he ain't even want to be back and I ain't even want to I love that You feel me Motherf*cking brother. I'm just saying we all trying to get this right and trying to be at peace with what what what
with what it is you feel me well this is what it is we have peace now you feel me i love i love i love sammy we all been we all been partying they just started the group a week ago apparently he's saying that he got into a fight with sammy and beat him up now sammy is saying that did not happen there's a bruise on his face But here's his explanation. I don't even know what Ray J put on his line, but I did hear that he said he f***ed me up. Ray J f***ing me up is like the equivalent of him hitting all the high notes. I uh, I broke my phone last night and I lost my AirPods so I'm buying new AirPods. Yeah, take a s--
I didn't have my Crocs in sports mode. I'm good, I'm good. It was just a long night. What happened was I got two turnt, I reached for the door and the door wasn't there and I fell. It was a long night. I reached for the door, the door wasn't there and I fell. They too old to be fighting man. So wait, you telling me the party's not happening? What? RSVP? RSVP'd for nothing? Yes, you RSVP'd for nothing. Nothing you're telling me? Party's not happening. Oh, man. Jesus Christ. is your rumor report. - All right, Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to?
- We're gonna have a discussion about why when things look too good to be true, they probably are. We actually need to update that phrase, but we'll talk about it for after that. - All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club.

*Donkey of the day outro* goes to a 37 year old man from Mississippi named Joey Lee crook a letter I crook a letter crook a letter I hump back hump back I uh I'm not gonna lie this donkey is kind of hard to do because it's always hard to do a donkey when you completely understand why a person did what they did and trust me I totally understand why this brother just... Joey did what he did. Look man, times is hard out here. Okay, the gap between the haves and have notches wider than it's ever been. And that's why it's so easy to finesse folks nowadays with all of these, you know, get rich quick schemes. Yes.
And that's why Joey Lee Ware has to get the biggest heat heart a day because he's 37 he should know better and What happened to him? What happened to him? Lord. Lord, he should know better. Let's go to WXXV25 for the report, please. Air Force Base has a group of volunteers who clean up periodically along the beach. Cleaning on Saturday, they found more than just trash. The volunteers were cleaning up around the beach near White Avenue and came across several bricks, which are actual kilos of cocaine. They found a total of eight wrapped up Cocaine, which prompted an immediate call to Biloxi police before the day was over 11 and a half bricks with a street value of $100,000. $1 million were recovered. 1 1/2 bricks were found after arresting a man who decided to keep the bricks for himself. According to Biloxi police, Joey Lee was charged with aggravated trafficking of a
Controlled subsets. He's awaiting an initial appearance. One and a half was actually discovered by a citizen and this is the important part. If you discover it, you should call us. He instead decided to do other things with it, and he was arrested and charged with aggravated trafficking. Poor Joey. I know Future told us that God is blessing all the trap end words, but the reality of this situation is Satan got a kingdom too. Don't think that everything that glitters is gold because it's not. Type of person. If it's not from God, I don't want it. And trust me when I tell you, drugs are drug money, it's not of God. But you have to put yourself in Joey's shoes to understand what could lead a person to this. We don't know what his financial situation is, but I'm gonna just assume it's not the greatest. All right, this brother's probably been...
Praying for a plug when I say praying for a plug. I don't even mean a drug connect I'm just saying this brother was praying for somebody to plug him into something anything that can make his financial situation better. So imagine Clean up and they come across 1 million dollars in drugs. In your mind you have to know you can't take that dope. Don't do it. Alright it's just like making a fake LLC to get a PPP loan. Don't do it. I know the government been getting over on us for years. I completely understand you want some get back, but do we understand we will never For watching. Bricks of cocaine just washed up on show with some volunteers happened to be cleaning up with a Dior label on them? Okay, let me tell you something.
I would have ran away from those bricks. I'm talking I would have ran away and got 20 miles down the road and had someone else calling the police to tell them to come get they dope. Come get the dope they planted because me and mine not touching it. You don't get a damn thing but trouble making that kind of discovery. And the way my anxiety is set up, the first thing I would have thought when I saw that dope is this is a trap. Alright, the white man about to drop a net on all of us. We always talk about that expression, If it's too good to be true, it probably is. But do we know what that truly means? By definition, this phrase is used to describe situations which are so good that it is barely believable that such a... Situation is possible are even likely. 15 bricks of cocaine with Dior logos washing up on shore is highly unlikely and I know...
So Joey you've seen stuff like this happen in movies and you hear it in music and you probably saw this and said this is going to be a lick, this is going to be a hell of a origin story but no. If something seems more exciting, pleasing or ideal than seems reasonable then it likely isn't genuine, legitimate or true. Okay if the bank accidentally puts a million in your bank account and you decide to buy a house with it I personally believe that should be the banks fault for making such a grave mistake and what do they expect you to do with a million dollars especially if you've been praying, tithing, offering, waiting for a blessing and then something like that happens. Of course you're going to spend it but you're also going to be the one that ends up in trouble because of it. I know it's not fair, alright we figured this out about life already but I get it.
Joey still believed, okay? I guess he still believed that dope gave him hope and now he's been arrested and charged with aggravated trafficking and is being held on a $150,000 bond. Let me give you all the advice that police captain Thomas Goldwater said. If you discover it, call us. Simple, okay? Police are urging residents not to go down the same path as Joey and they just want you to call authorities if you come across these kind of stashes like this. Yes, my people, please. When you come across things like this, I don't care if it's drugs, guns, money, just look at it like it's all a trap because it is. The system setting you up for failure once again, alright? The moral of the story is if something seems to be good to- if something seems too good to be true, keywords to be true, it probably is. We actually need to change that phrase to if something seems too good, it's probably a trap.
Scam. So treat it like a scam and scram. Please give the latest victim in this evil systems wicked game, Joey Ware, the sweet signs and the hammertones. When we come back, ask him. 800-585-1051, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is, I've been wanting to call for a while, but I've been afraid. Now yesterday I got some news that I I was accepted into NYU residency program. Yesterday I got news that my financial aid would not cover everything and that's...
Fine. Now I have to shift. I was very disappointed yesterday, crying and everything, but I can't stay stuck in that. So I do have a coaching business that I've been working on. I've been working on getting the website filled. Just having people work with me to get it on, but I'm afraid to launch the coaching business. - Okay, the coaching business, why are you afraid to launch it? - I just feel, you know, I think I just, I've developed fear over the years just of being. And judge. I mean, I have been in therapy, I have a I did a lot to work on my have a podcast that I'm working on, but the problem is is that I'm standing in my own way. I know that for a fact, and I'm just afraid to just.
You know, live my life the way I really want to live it. And that would be to launch my business. I wanted to do my residency with NYU, but that was just temporary. I would, you know, just be a job for now until I do fully become an entrepreneur. So what's the, so here's what I have to do because sometimes, yes, we get scared to do new ventures, hope, you know, we get scared. What if it doesn't work out? But what's the worst thing that could happen after you launch this business? I you know what it could, well, I would say it won't fail because I know who I am. I am like I'm deaf standing in my own way because I have personality. I'm beautiful. I'm kind, I'm empathetic. Everything and I'm not being conceded. I just know the great attributes within myself. Right. It's just the fear. I cannot let go of this fear and it has plagued me for I will say
Isn't it terrible? You know, the thing you should be most scared of is not pursuing those things that you're passionate about. That's scarier than even trying. You know, to me the worst thing that could happen is you try and maybe it doesn't work the way that you anticipated but you can always make it happen because like you said you have the skills you've been doing your research you have all of the uh what do you call it credits to be able to do that. And so the worst thing that you could do is not even try. So I have one more follow up question. How do I get over the fear of social media? Because I have my website built. I have everything that I need to do to post on my IG, Facebook, all of that. But I am afraid to do any of that.
I have no problem talking to people, but it's just that social media thing getting on there and doing live. It's that is oh my god. It's terrified. Yeah, and you know what? Listen. My whole thing is when it comes to social media, the only things that people will know and respond to is what you put out there. And that's fine. There's going to be. That agree with you, people who don't agree with you, but what people will do is respect that you're even doing this. And so I just Feel like I get it like we have a lot of fears that are instilled in us and a lot of it like you said you're putting on yourself, but I think once you start doing it and get more comfortable doing it sometimes the best thing to do is face your fears keep doing things that scare. You and then eventually it won't be as scary anymore there's a lot of things that I've been scared to do in my life and sometimes you just got to go full force do it
And then once you do it, it gets easier and easier every single time. But the main thing is to just do it. You know, and you're gonna have to make some tweaks. Maybe you'll do, you'll go live and you're like, okay, it would be better if I did it at this time. It's all, you know, calculated. And so I think for this to support. That you want to do and you want to help other people, the work that you're going to do is going to be really important. And so, you know, I think I actually Really enjoy being scared to do something and then doing it successfully. Those are the things. That bring me the most joy, the things that I was most scared of. Okay. You know what? I'm going to reach out there because you know what? I'm also trying to get ready. Your show because I'm gon day Angela. There you go. so people can follow you what you got going on.
I don't have everything posted yet. Okay, so I'm going to call back though. I'm going to follow up. So I am working with the guys with my website. I have a whole team. So once I get that straight, I'm going to call back because I want to come correct. I don't want them to come to the website like you don't have nothing going on. All right, well DM me so I can take a look at it when you're ready. I will. Thank you so much. Okay. All right. Bye bye. We got more Ask Yee when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello. Who's this? - Dee, how you doing? - What is it, Leonard? - Yes, yes ma'am. - Okay, we have a Leonard here. What's your question? - Oh, Lee, me, I'm calling, my girl stepped out on me, seated on me. - Okay. - I'm calling to see what I need to do about it.
It's killing me. Well, I see you still call her your girl, so you guys haven't broken up. No, ma'am. We rented our own house, and we ain't been in it for seven months. So, and all this started since we moved in together. Okay, so explain to me what happened how you found out she cheated what's going on? Okay. Well I did somebody have No minute though, we hadn't been talking for like six or seven days and she had went to sleep and I went through a phone and seen the checks and what it meant together and I'm thinking I'm doing right but all the while he was doing that and I don't know how long it's been going on. Did you ask her? Yeah but she won't she won't talk. Does she want to stay together and work it out or not? I kind of feel like he do but you can't be a king
and I scarred her and hurt her. How did you hurt her? It's gonna take time. Well, I wasn't being the man she wanted to do when I was helping other folks and helping our ex, still talking to our ex at the beginning of the register. We've been together for 14 and a half years. Okay, so you stepped out and she has stepped out? No ma'am, I ain't stepped out. I was just helping her and they want me to continue helping. I haven't cheated on them. Okay, so you were helping your ex? Yeah. Okay. And helping other folks that might need help. Mmm. And you have been together. Fortunate I think the main thing is that she has to take accountability for herself Right and she can say that Heard her before and that could be true. But what about what she's doing now to hurt you? That's not the answer I'm, not gonna hurt you because you hurt me Not answering any questions that you have and she owes that to you to at least be able to have a conversation to
your mind, you know, so you can put these things together and make a decision based on all of the things that she tells you because when What if this is a relationship that she's been going on for six years? What if she's in love with... They are in love because they every morning at what they work at the same job every morning. Oh, hey, babe. I love you I'm sorry It was a couple days at the house and a sister popped up and he told the guy yeah my sister messed up my plans to get with you Oh wow. Do you, Leonard, is this? Something that you really feel like you can move past and get over? You think you could? Is this something you really feel? Yeah, she won't open up. She won't open up and say, she admit she sorry but like you say, she won't take accountability.
What was she doing? Yeah, I can't. And she has to see this person at work every single day. Yes, ma'am. That she won't even take accountability. How is she supposed to move on and do the right thing when she won't even say what, you know, that what she did was wrong and that she's going to stop. Yeah, exactly. And she keeps saying, we'll take it one day at a time. I'm like, well, how'd you consider me? and you the one messed up. - You know, I'ma say this, Leonard, you need to tell her what it is. That she needs to do for you to feel more like you could even give it a chance. And if she can't do those things, then you can't be with her. Okay. Oh. You know, think about what it is that you need. This is what I need in order for me to even consider us working things out. To be honest, I don't know if she wants to work it out if she's still going to work and talking to this person and not taking account of
and telling you let's take it one day at a time and she's not going really really hard to try to make it happen then I I'm not sure where her head is at. Yeah, exactly. And that's what I'm trying to figure out. You need, because we can be there and if you see her get text. If I don't ring it at 1130, take it 1130. Yeah, I said, well, who's taking over my boy? Yeah, no, that's not fair to you, sir. She's going to do whatever she wants and she's not taking accountability. And if she can't do that, that's not somebody that you should be with. I know y'all have been together for a long time, but that don't mean you gotta stay together. Okay. Y'all right. That's what I need to hear. I promise I've been trying to call ever since that happened. I just want to get your. Yes, you deserve somebody who you can trust, okay? Actually, you don't have to be going through their phone because you suspect something and nobody wants to know.
To live their life like that. If you want to talk to her 800-585-1051. Now we got rumors on the way? Yes. Khaled said it and must be true. He talked about Jay-Z's verse on his album. God Did would be one of his greatest verses. The Breakfast Club What's going on? TJ has a billboard up in the Bronx that says I'm back So that's good news as you guys recall. He was shot at a Chipotle restaurant in Edgewater, New Jersey on June 22nd He was unconscious after an emergency surgery People were concerned that he wasn't going to survive but fortunately he is back good
Yes, so shout out to him. God bless Lil Tjay. Absolutely. I wonder what his mindset is right now. I want to know how this situation changed him, you know? That's what I want to know. Alright now, let's talk about YK Osiris. He was on lip service and that episode came out yesterday and one thing that, he talks about a lot of different things. You know, he only gets oral with a condom on, he said, and he also talked about, he It's about having sex with nine girls in one day. So in one day, in a span of 24 hours, what's the most amount of women you've ever had sex with? Yeah, I know I was on tour girl And they're like every every every four minutes like every four minutes, so they ran a train on you know But I get to the hotel like were you able to That many times I was I was having fun. Did you where you like right in it?
Some of my day Wednesday yes nine is a lot In one day, so they definitely ran a train on him Alright now DJ Khaled sat down with Speedy Mormon for complex, and he talked about Jay-z's verse on God did he said? It's good enough to make it onto the list of his greatest verses. - There's been a lot of rumblings, Khaled, about one verse in particular. It's this Jay-Z verse. Just, I've just been hearing rumblings about it. What can people-- - The rumors are true. The rumors are true. You know, a lot of rumors are not true, but these is true. He was saying it's the best J-BEST they've heard in a long time. I let y'all decide that. I'm telling you, if there was a Greatest Hits of Jay-Z version, it's on there. That I'll tell you. For a fact.
Okay. I like the way Khaled sold that because everybody else been putting a lot of sauce on this whole verse. Okay. And you know I call this Miffins Bleaking Something because remember when Jay put two
So therefore, I don't want to have no expectation for this verse. So I'm glad I like how Khaled sold that just now. All right. In addition to that, he talked about how he felt when Barack Obama walked out to his record, All I Do Is Win. You know, hip hop believed in you. But when you saw Obama walk out to All I Do Is Win, I imagine that had to be something that she was like, what the f*ck? I was sleeping in the Satay Hotel in New York. I was working at Def Jam at that time and my phone wouldn't stop ringing. Had a hundred texts. Sway hit me up. Yo Obama just walked out of your sh*t, All I Do Is Win. Then I started getting a million calls. My mom, this and that and that. You know how that felt? The president, our president that we love, that I still love, that I still feel like he's my president. Obama walked out to All I Do Is Win.
- He picked any record. - That's a fact. - He picked the DJ Khaled one. - That's dope. - Yeah, it's a good feeling. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah, that's big, that's big, that's a start. - All right, and Meghan Markle has launched her Spotify podcast series, and the first episode, Archetypes, is Serena Williams. Here is Serena Williams talking about retiring, and here's what she had to say about making those decisions. - Don't think I'm sad, it's not sad, Tiers. Just like, it's weird because you have to think about it. I've been doing this since I was a. Since I can't remember and I'm 40 years old now, so it's like my whole Being in my whole entire life has been for one purpose. Honestly, I can't wait to wake up one day and literally never have to worry about performing on. Such a high level and, you know, you know, competing and I've actually never felt.
I mean, I've had a baby and I stopped and I've had injuries, but there was always somewhere in the back of my mind that it's still a possibility. So for it to just be... Completely gone is, it's new territory for me. - Wow, all right. - Well, congratulations to her, salute to her. - And the next week's guest will be Mariah Carey on that podcast. - So Megan Marple gave up the throne to be a podcaster. Drop on the clues bombs podcasting, dammit. Alright? Cool. It makes me wonder... Makes me wonder what Lisa may die out with done with herself if Prince Hakeem would have gave up the throne. Lisa would have gotten the radio back in the early 1900s. Maybe she didn't need a mixtape.
I'm sure she'll be doing more than hosting a podcast. Yeah, well yeah, because her daddy was an entrepreneur. What do you mean more than hosting a podcast? Hosting a podcast is great. No, I said I'm sure she's doing more than. I'm sure she's doing more than just that though. She's an actress too. Let's not forget that. Well, Spotify I'm sure gave her, no I'm not sure. Spotify gave her a big bag. Okay to do that podcast. I'm sure I wonder what Lisa McDowell would have done. She was in Queens So she would have just mixed it. They should have the dope echo on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, cuz she was in the 80s 19 19 8th decade in 1900s. Yeah. All right. Yeah. All right Well, thank you for that donkey of the day to put that was I was a donkey today.
