Yes, we do. I know that. But it starts today. Yeah, it starts today. I'm actually in Kingston, Jamaica right now. Hey. Yeah, salute to everybody out in Jamaica that watches us on Netflix and that really, really rides out with us. I'm here because this brother, I want to say, he's a Jamaican brother.

He's doing the first luxury dance hall cruise, and he's doing it with IHeart. Now, the cruise is called a Vibs crew, so it's done with Vibes Cartel. So his whole thing is they have all these nice cruises for reggaeton. They have these nice cruises for R&B. So he wanted to do an adult cruise for dance hall. in reggae music. So he launched it yesterday. It's there, but he got like, I think, like 9,000 RSVPs.

And it's just going to be totally us on a boat. So, what you mean? Us? Now you, you. Was it Dominican Cruz? When you say us, we mean Jamaica? Like, exactly. What do you talk about us?

Black people on the cruise? Oh, you black this week. Okay, got you. Got you. Got you. So vibes carteller would be performing. He's got a host of performances. Don't be out there speaking in Patois this weekend, all right? Because you know, you, you're a chameleon.

You show up wherever you had and start acting like you do that. Nah. You're me and you're no money on them to see him. All right. Okay. I like that. You got it down. I'm happy.

They say, oh, Bati, bitch. That's what they're going to say to you. That's what they're going to say to you this weekend. We got a packed show today, by the way. Let's get the show crack. We got a lot of people joining us this morning. First and foremost, we have Kiki Palmer and Boots Riley. They have a new movie.

I love boosters. And Jess loves this movie. hasn't even seen it yet. Absolutely. That was my first job boosting. Boosting in the hood for niggas baby mothers. That was your first crime, actually. Well, I didn't get court, so I won a crime.

Thank you. Yeah. The crazy thing about Jess is she boosted a couple of weeks ago. Just to make sure she stopped boost. I did it. She didn't boost. She shoplifted. It's a difference.

And I just wanted to say if I still had it. You know, when you had like a notorious past for, you know, getting away with boosting and scamming and all that. Sometimes you just want to see if you still got it. Just like a married man, later on. I need to take the ring off. Remember the episode of Martin? Not charred to.

Okay. Hell no, we don't. But you boosted chapstick. Like, if you would have got it. I didn't have intentions on selling it. I just wanted to say if I still had it to see if I still had them sticking fingers. If they would have locked your dumb ass up for chapsed, oh my God.

They actually called that petty theft. That's what that would have been. Yeah. And also, Dre and Nicole and Lex Pee of the Paul Mines podcast will be joining us there in town this weekend. Because they have their still sipping tour going on and they'll be at the town hall tomorrow. night in New York City, so they'll be here talking to us this morning. I love those girls. And also Nate Jackson, comedian Nate Jackson, he's going to be performing at the Brooklyn

Improv this weekend. So we're going to be kicking with Nate's full-pack show, and let's get the show cracking. We got front-page news up next with Mimi, and we're starting to show it. It's Johnny Gale birthday. He's 60, so we should start with Give Love for Christmas Day. What? What? No, hell no, girl.

My-m-m-m-ma. Forget it. Chris, play what you was playing. Red. Play with you playing. Let me go to breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ NV. Jess Hilarious. Sholomey Nagar. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, yesterday the conference finals

game to the Knicks beat the Cavaliers 109-93. All right. What an amazing game. Do you watch the game last night? No, I was out with my guy, Stephen Colbert.

He had his last show party last night. But leaving, trying to get out of New York City because the party was a couple blocks away. Oh, my God. Yes. Man.

What a game. Brunton only had 19 points. Everybody chipped in and showed that we need Brunton to score 30-40. We still looked amazing. Hard scored, I think 24, 26 points. The Knicks looked great last night. New York is an interesting place when the Knicks win,

because, like I said, you'll be out and you'll be trying to leave somewhere, but it'll be so much traffic, and then you'll see people, and you don't know if they're fighting or not. So you'd be like, you know, they're fighting. But then they really just be joyful. Celebrating. Yes. Celebration. It was like Annie Up was playing, and they were just beating on each other, but it was joy.

Yes, it was joy. Yes, absolutely. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NB. Jeff Shalameen, how y'all doing this morning? Good morning. Good morning. So we start this hour on Capitol Hill where angry Republicans in both the House and the Senate, they abruptly left Washington for the Memorial Day break instead of taking votes on two politically explosive issues tied directly to President Trump. So lawmakers are now accusing Republican leadership of sending members home to avoid votes they did not want to take.

So let me explain. The first fight centers around that nearly $1.8 billion Justice Department. anti-weaponization fund that was created after Trump settled a lawsuit with the IRS over the leaking of his tax returns. And the fund would allow people who say that they were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration to apply for taxpayer-funded compensation. Well, several Republicans are reportedly furious over concerns that people connected to January 6th could potentially qualify for a payout. A Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania says lawmakers are now trying to kill the fund altogether.

Good. ...into an exchange between him and a reporter. Congressman, what do you make at this $1.7 billion fund for... Bad news. We're going to try to kill it. You're going to try and kill it? Yeah. Wow.

Okay. And how? Well, we're considering legislative options. We're going to write a letter to the AG to start, but we're considering a legislative option. We're trying to unpack exactly, you know, what the legal machinations are, but can't do that. Right. Can't do it. Have you ever heard of any other Americans, like, other than Trump as an associates here?

I haven't. not who are unauditable by the IRS? I've never heard that. Okay. So would that be part of the legislative? Of course. Of course. Yeah, you can't do that.

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. I'm actually shocked, but that's good. Yeah, there was a few other Republicans who are wanting to take a stand. And the second showdown, it came shortly after that. So the House was expected to vote yesterday on whether Congress could force President Trump to end the war in Iran unless lawmakers formally authorized that conflict.

But Republican leaders, they pulled. that vote at the last minute and sent lawmakers home. Democrats say they did that because the measure actually had enough bipartisan support to pass. Here's New York Congressman Gregory Meeks. It's another game that the Republicans are playing. They knew this vote would pass. He had to vote to pass. But instead of allowing the voice of the people to be heard, everyone, you look at every go-cross America. Everyone knows this war of choice and to stop. Yeah, so back to the, that Justice Department fund for a moment, acting attorney general Todd Blanche. She actually went to Capitol Hill yesterday to try and calm some angry senators down behind closed doors. And so lawmakers, they are gone

for the weekend. Memorial Day weekend. They are expected Tuesday, and they will try and see if they can take up that vote again and continue with trying to also take up that. bill to stop the president from being able to launch that weaponization fund. Well, it's already launched, but being able to kill the weaponization fund. And another Justice Department decision tied to President Trump is now facing new scrutiny this time in New York. A government watchdog group is asking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to investigate how federal corruption case against former Mayor Eric Adams, Mayor Eric Adams was suddenly dropped earlier this year. So Adams, he had been facing bribery.

fraud, campaign finance charges before the Justice Department ordered prosecutors to dismiss the case earlier this year. Now the group's citizens union says that that move may have been politically motivated, pointing to allegations that Adams cooperated with President Trump's immigration agenda, and that may have helped that case disappear. So the Manhattan DA's office, they say they've already reviewed possible options after that federal case was dismissed, and they've decided not to move forward. and a lot of in lock and step with that, Adams continues to say that he denies any wrongdoing there. So we'll continue to watch. Eric Adams said, man, I went to Turkey and y'all still talking about me, okay? Didn't you go to Turkey where I went? Now he was to Dubai.

I think he went to Dubai at that time. He's a citizen of somewhere now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All I know is he's skedaddled, okay? He doesn't want his name mentioned right now. Okay, he can't believe that they still talking about him. Yeah, but also that's going against what Trump wants. And nobody's going to go honestly against what Trump has decided to do with that case, right?

nobody's going to go against Trump. Yeah, so a lot happening this morning. I'm coming up about seven. Before you hit the road this Memorial Day weekend, there are a few hours you absolutely do not want to be on the road. I'll tell you what traffic experts are saying when they expect things to get ugly this weekend. Oh, and it wasn't Turkey.

That Turkey is where NB went to get his headline. It was Albania. Eric Adams is the citizen of Albania. I haven't gone to Turkey. He did not do good on his headline if that's where he went. I did not go to no damn Turkey. I didn't know, I did not. What are you talking?

You know what they're doing real good. Hush, Bati Bage. There, you in Jamaica. I just want you to be careful. I did, man. We already get in the text, man. They keep saying that. I don't know what that means.

What does that mean? All right. What is that? What is that? I did not get you know. Bati? Bajee. Thank you to me.

I was looking at me. Yes. It means. Because booty. It did. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-5-85-105. What?

If you need the vent, hit us up right now. Again, 800. 5-8-5-105.1 is the breakfast club. Good morning. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Salaman. Lindsey, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool.

We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. We can get on the phone right now. We'll tell you what it is. We live? Hello, who's this? Hey, this is T. How you guys doing? Hey, T. Good morning, T.

How you doing, T? I'm doing good, man. I'm happy. I got through. I can, you know, kind of shock. Well, we're happy that you got through, T. What are you calling from? Say again, hon. Where are you calling from?

Columbus, Ohio. Okay. Columbus, Ohio. I'm so sorry for your cavaliers, Mama. That's Cleveland. Oh, that ain't my problem. I'm calling it off my chest. What's up?

So, I do want to say this. Everybody always say, you know, black man's mental health. But if you're a black woman dating a black man, our mental health need to be checked. Because when I tell you, they'll be stressing you out. Oh, my Lord. What happened? Listen, first and foremost, if you date in a black man, and of course they like to keep everything bottled up, you know, it's the new movement, you know, black mental health, woo's the woo, but it don't work if you don't tell me.

Yeah, but I'm thinking, therapy, too, and the whole time you stretched out of the world. Yes, but that's why therapy is good because therapy, you know, teaches black men how to open up and properly process their emotions and their feelings, and then they can be more open with you. But the problem is getting them to the therapy. though. That's true. I understand. So it's like, I don't know what's going on with you because you're bubbling it up. So I don't even know that I should be trying to get to the therapy.

Are you leading by example? Does he see you go to therapy? Yes. Okay. So why don't you all go together as a couple? I have to go first for him. Yeah, so why don't you go as a couple, and then just to get him used to it and then maybe he'll start going by himself. I ain't going to hold you, Charlotte.

I don't have nothing to talk about. I feel like I'm good. So that's probably where my lead by example is not exemplling. You know what I mean? Exactly what you mean You're telling me that I'm all messed up You know what I'm saying But then you're telling me I'm messing up

Your mental health But then you're telling me that you're good So which one is it? See that right there It's crazy within itself So you're in therapy but you good Well I really want the therapy You know

Has a way to be like Look it's nothing wrong with it Like going to therapy And so but I really didn't feel like I had anything bottled up I ain't go I don't go home I feel like I was cool But it's like

With me cool Then you get some time later All this stuff falls down And I'm just like Where that's that? come from. Yeah. Well, let me ask you a question. First of all, you start this conversation off by saying that men, women who date black men need to have their mental health check, but then you say they good. And then you say when you ask him how his day is, you know,

and he says, good, you just leave it at that. Why don't you continue to, why don't you continue to have more conversations with him? Or just say, hey, I can tell something's bothering you, what's up. Instead of asking him, yo, you good? Like dig a little bit. Yeah. But that's what I'm learning. And that's what I mean, like, well, we need our mental check too. We need to be checked on two, excuse me. Because we don't know. Like if I say to you, hey, Charlotte, how are you going? And you say good?

I'll leave it at good. I'm going to take your word for good. You know it ain't good, though. Go fix me some food and give me some. Die of me. You can't say that. You can't say that on there. I can't say that.

Jesus. It is crazy. Okay, you know I'm stressed out. But you already know, so won't you go ahead and relieve my stress and then we can talk. Well, then say that. You got me off. You need that.

We not need that. You know that's what we need all the time. Take initiative. Just take initiative to do that. You know what? I'm gonna take a little bit more initiative. Today. Today.

Just do it out the blue. Don't even let them ask. Just give it to them both. Make them some food and, you know, make him some food. Jesus. Me need it. You know what, maybe that's what I need to do. Yes.

You gotta have you opening up a little bit more. Yes. I'm thinking I'm just going to do. crazy because if you say one thing, I take your word for it. Yeah, really. So maybe I need to put a little bit more into it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. It is mental health awareness month, man.

You know what I mean? So I encourage everybody to go out there and seek some type of therapy because it is okay to not be okay. All right. And by the way, we all know that something is going on with each other. So why don't we just all try to help each other, you know, relieve each other's stress. Right. Make things lighter for each other. Don't let them tell you good if you know what's not You know it ain't good. You know what we need. That's right.

Well, get it off your chest. 800585-105-1. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk.

I hate the way that you dress. Everything with me is blessed. Call up next. 800-585-105-1. Not just me. I'm with the coach of feeling. Hello, who's this? What's good is Doogie in Chicago.

What is you talking about, y'all? Now you don't know. But it's not just a chapstick. You've been saying a lot of stuff about things that you might or not sort of could or would have done. So, I ain't say nothing about nothing. I'm not sort of kind of mighter,

We have the latest with Lauren coming up. What are we talking about, Lauren? Yes, we do. So yesterday was the end of an air for two major talk shows that we all know and we all love. The landscape is changing, but, you know, they're celebrating at the end of it. So we're going to celebrate too. All right. We'll get to that next is the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. You're talking L.Cube. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. Take me through that. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

Take me through that. Take me through that. Where is she going? with Lauren Lose. On the Breakfast Club. L.L. Coalbeck. Talk to me. All right, y'all. So the Colbert show and Sherry Shepard shows have officially ended. Now, I know we talked about the end of Sherry Shepard some weeks ago, and I told you guys that

was her last live show that she was taping. That was where Kevin Hart and Gail King were a guest. But yesterday she aired her final episode, and she said her goodbyes. And she did that with the help of Oprah, Tyler Perry, her bestie Nisi Nash, Mel. of Melba's in Harlem, DJs has one, of course. But she said her final goodbyes. It was very emotional for her. Let's take a listen to Sherry, final monologue. Hey, family.

This is it. This is the last episode of Sherry. When I say, hey family, I don't take it lightly. Because for one hour, every day, I really felt like everybody here and at home was my family. Now, what am I gonna do with all this time I have on my hands? I've been so busy I haven't had time to focus on the important things, like stalking Lenny Kravitz. I finally have the time to stand outside his house with my binoculars.

And I'm going to do more stand-up comedy. I'll be, yeah. I'll be doing shows at 7 and 10 every night at this new venue. It's called Sherry's Brownstone, because I am a comedian, and that is what I love. What's the cherry brownstone? Was that going to be now? She's being funny about being in the house. Crazy.

I don't know. That could be dope. That could be a podcast or something. Yeah. Yeah. Something that she does on YouTube. So she was announced in a comedy club. She was actually about to start.

About to start. Yeah. Well, I mean, so that could be something. I'm told up next she's going to. And she talked about this on the show as well, too. She's headed to South Africa. She's going to be shooting an executive producing in her film with Robin Roberts. It's called Angel and the Rubble.

It's about the last surviving person that was pulled out. a Rebel of 9-11. She also has a podcast that she announced yesterday, and she has a K-drama that she wrote that she has more information about on her website that she talked about in her show yesterday as well, too. And I think her and Kim Whitley have a podcast now, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, I mean, she's working. Like, she has other things lined up, but it was very... Two funny mamas. Yeah, it was very emotional for her to see yesterday. And I know we've been trying to figure out what would happen in her time slot. So I was sold exclusively by source

that her time slot, there will be air and reruns up her show until September. And then after that, It's supposed to be a news hour. It may be local news, but that might change. And I'm not for sure how to happen and work in every market because the show was national. So that's what you'll see there. But Tyler Perry, you know, sent over a video in support of her.

Oprah as well sending her some encouraging words. So it was, you know, a good send-off for Sherry Shepard. Sherry can do whatever she want to do, man. We live in a new media world. There's so many ways to start your own platform. Like, you know, you're only gone if you choose to be gone. Yes. And then Colbert last night as well.

He did one of his final openings and greetings to his audience. Let's take a listen. Welcome, welcome, one and all to The Late Show. I'm your host, Stephen Colbert. Tonight is our final broadcast from the Ed Sullivan Theater where... No, no, we were lucky enough to be here for the last 11 years. All right? That was...

You can't take this for granted. Though actually, technically our first show back in July of 2015 was from a public access station in Monroe, Michigan. for an audience of 12 people. And show business being what it is these days, it's probably where you'll see me next. So much history here in the Ed Sullivan Theater, and we've been honored to have been just a small part of it. We've had so much fun in this theater.

This isn't goodbye, it's see you later. Now, a lot of people are asking me what I plan to do after tonight, and the answer is drugs. Drop on the clues bumps with my guy, Stephen Colby. I saw him last night. You went to the fired and festive party yet? I did.

fired and festive party I pulled up it's called the, that was the attire fired and festive. The party was actually called the last show party. How you dressed? Oh, okay, yeah. How do you dress fire? Fire and festive. Fired. Fired. Fired. Like I got fired. Yeah, but you said that was the dress.

Yeah. How do you dress? How do you dress like that? Like how you dress now? Oh, my God. How is he was going to say that? You get over there and feel some sun and you think that hair line came back and now you look confident. Damn. Pipe down. Crazy.

Yeah. All right. Everybody did look stressful. And, yeah. I saw him dancing. He was enjoying. Him and Tiffany Haddish was wilding on the dance flow. But no, I sleut to my guy, Stephen Colbert, his beautiful wife, Evie.

I got to see my seventh grade social studies teacher. So this is a podcast about video games. Kind of. It's also about friendship. Definitely. And chaos. Unavoidably. Welcome to It's Dangerous to Go Alone.

A podcast where we talk games, culture, nostalgia, and immediately go off topic. There is no gatekeeping. There is no skill check. If you win a game on easy mode, we support you.

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV, Jess Alariah, Sholomaine Nagai. We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Start up with sports. Now, last night, the Knicks beat the Cavaliers 109-93. They lead the series 2-0-0.

Ohio, Cleveland. It looks like this is going to be a sweet. And I ain't mad at it. I just want to put that out there. Look like it's going to be a sweet. I think it's going to be very fun to see the New York Knicks in the NBA finals. That's something I've never thought I've never thought I would see in my lifetime. Oh, it's going to be great.

You know, you're going to be on fire. I mean, Cowboys is next, baby. Let's go Dallas Cowboys. If the Knicks make it to the finals, the Cowboys can make it to the Super Bowl. Everything doesn't go back to your Cowboys, by the way. But I'm just saying, that means that, you know, everything changes. Everything has its seasons, right? How long how long we've been watching the Knicks up?

A long time. Exactly. And, I mean, now they ballers. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NVIDA. Shalomaine, how you're doing this morning? Good. All right, so we start this hour with a complete and dramatic twist in the Virginia

elementary school shooting case that we've been following all this week. So the criminal case against former assistant principal, Dr. Ebony Parker, is officially over, and it ended before the defense really even presented its case. The Newport News judge dismissed all eight felony charges against Parker yesterday. ruling prosecutors had not proven that she committed a crime under Virginia law. Parker had been accused of ignoring warnings that a six-year-old student may have had a loaded gun before he shot his first grade teacher back inside a classroom in January of 2023. Now, prosecutors argued multiple staff members warned Parker about the child's behavior and concerns about a weapon that day. And she faced up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

But after hearing testimony from teachers, parents, investigators, The judge cited with defense and called the prosecution's case a quote mashup of legal theory. Let's listen to the moment that the judge dismissed the case and the raw emotion coming from Dr. Parker. All eight counts of felony child abuse and endangerment under indictment. CR, the indictment number 2499-541-01-0-08. So those matters are dismissed. Oh, wow. Yeah, I still didn't think the fact that she possibly could have got 40 years in prison

in jail because of what happened. I mean, it was foul. It was wrong. And, yeah, she should get some type of punishment. But the fact that she could have got 40 years, I mean, she didn't want the child to shoot anybody. She wasn't, you know, saying that it could have happened. Yeah, she missed. She was major negligent.

But 40 years in prison, I don't think that she deserved that. But that was facing, though. I don't mean she was going to get it. I don't think she should have got any prison time. All the charges got thrown out. I can't see. I mean, listen, I can't see that. Yeah, she was big wrong.

I'd say not, she wasn't wrong. I just don't think she should have got one to jail for it. So what's the consequence? What's she going to get? Like, yeah, what's... I mean, losing your job is a huge consequence. The fact that you can't be a vice principal anymore is a huge consequence. Is that what happened?

I don't know. That would happen? Me, me. I don't know if she lost her job, but I'm sure, think about it, though, her career, who's going to hire her. This story made national attention. the charges were dismissed with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot bring the criminal case back toward her, to her again. And everybody's saying she was a great principal. She was a great person.

They said they loved to work with her. She said she was nice with the kids. That's what people are saying. But she made a mistake. And, you know, people make mistakes. And there was a horrible mistake. Thank God the teacher didn't die. But her getting jail time, I just thought that that was a lot.

It's just wild. Like, I don't know. Like kids could have got killed. Exactly. And it's what could have happened. Like, what do we talk about? Could have, could have. You know what I mean?

We all got too many kids in school to, you know, let principals and teachers be that negligent. Like, there should be some consequence. I agree. Consequence, I just don't think jail time. Yeah, to your point, though, Charlotte, when you just said principals and teachers, they said the teachers also, they let the little boy go to recess. They let him play with other kids even after they felt that he may have a gun. And so they were like, where's their responsibility?

That was what the defense was saying. Yeah. My kid wouldn't be in that school. Yeah, I wouldn't, yeah. You can't trust none of them. Yeah. Yeah. And also, May is Mental Health Awareness Month, as we've been saying.

And according to recent data, more and more people are now turning to AI for emotional support and mental health advice. People say that they are using tools like chat, GPT, for relationship advice, stress, anxiety, grief, even major life decisions. They say the biggest reason behind it is the economy. Some people say that therapy is simply too expensive right now. Others say mental health care can be hard to get to access even because you don't have insurance. And some people just say that it feels easier talking to AI because there's no judgment, embarrassment, or pressure. And mental health experts are divided on this. Some say that AI can help fill a gap for people who may feel isolated, but others are warning that AI is not a licensed therapist and cannot truly understand trauma, crisis situations, are serious.

mental health conditions the way trained professionals can. Yeah, I mean, that's what we do. Well, that's what we do at the Mental Welfare Alliance. You know, that's one of our pillars providing people with free therapy, you know, because of the fact that we know that therapy is so expensive and a lot of folks want to go. But I think with the AI thing, I really think that's why communication is important. And that's why I keep talking about what I feel is going to be the great disconnect,

where people start disconnecting from social media and just start doing things in real life again. Like just looking somebody in the eye and having a conversation, The only reason you chatting with chat GPT and AI is because you actually do want to talk to somebody. Right. You want to communicate with somebody. But the problem is like what you said, chat GPT is not right all the time, right?

Because all they're really doing is getting information that's already out there and giving it to you faster and then you can Google it. But chat GPT is not right 100 times. So if you're asking for chat GPT to diagnose something that you're going through, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be right. It's not necessarily going to help your relationship.

Like it's not right. I agree with that. But I'm just saying that people are talking to chat GPT just because they want to talk to somebody. They need some type of companionship. They need some type of communication. Find somebody to talk to, man. Exactly.

And a lot of times some people use chat GBT to articulate what they're thinking. Like, you know what I mean? If you hit chat GBT up, like, yo, I got to talk to my baby father about this, but I don't want to come at them all crazy. I don't want to seem bitter. They'll put it in a form where it's not dismissive, but it's also not too, you know, negative as well. So when you type in like, A, dummy, I really need to talk to you about. I don't call my chat GPT dummy.

No, but you're putting, what you would text to Rome, you send the chat GVT to make it sound more articulate. Exactly. Got you, got you, got you. And then wrong receives it better. Yes. Yeah, but chat Gpt is not going to judge you, so it's easy to talk to Chad GPT because you're not going to feel like somebody's judging you are looking down on you. So that's why I'm sure people will go to Chad GPDT and a therapist or a friend because nobody's there to look down on you. Well, that's your fault for, you know, not letting people joke about stuff.

Okay, because seriously, man, because when it's a traumatic, serious situation and you take it to a certain person and you have a conversation, there's going to be jokes. There's going to be empathy. Yeah, there's a range of emotions that help you get through. Okay, but no, y'all don't want nobody to joke about certain things no more. Yeah. Okay. Exactly. Right?

NB. Can't be scared to say things to me because he think I'm a clown of my body? You are? That's why I never will. No, no. No, no. No, Rawlings don't be trying to. Hell no.

It miss things anymore. or talk about things that happened in this past. But do I not make y'all feel better? Be honest now. After the jokes and stuff, do I not make you feel better? Huh? It depends on what it is. It depends.

It depends. It depends. After I get through it is funny, but when I'm going through it, it ain't funny. Right, right, yeah. See, that's stupid. No, what you mean? Yeah, a minute, yo.

What you mean? All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news. Before I go, I want to say, if you're driving anywhere this Memorial Day weekend, the key is to leave early, fill up early and expect traffic almost everywhere. They say that's going to be a record-breaking, 39 million people traveling,

and they say the best time to travel, or the worst time, should I say, to travel, is this afternoon between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m., that's when everybody's going to be on the road, and tomorrow afternoon. And then Monday afternoon, when everyone is headed home, will also be one of the worst times to be on the road.

So travel safely and fill up, because gas is up $1.57, I want to say, because the war and I ran in hand. Wow. Well, thank you, Mimi. Have a good weekend. Thanks, y'all. And listen, man, today is Friday, so you know we do the people's donkey.

So you can call me right now, 1-800-585-105-1. And you can give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. You can give somebody the biggest he-ha. You can call us right now. That's right. And when we come back, Kiki Palmer and Boots Riley will be joining us. They have a new movie, New Movie, I Love Boosters, which is out of them next. Now, that nigga look like he'd do magic.

That's somebody. He's right. He's about to roll something out of his hat. It's the breakfast club Good morning Morning everybody It's DJ NVV Just hilarious

Salamaine Nagai We are the breakfast Club Long La Rosa is here as well We got some special guests In the building Yes indeed We have Kiki Palmer

And boots Riley Welcome How's up? I'm good man What are you guys What's up Corvette You came here Come on what's up Corvette

She kept in here It's cold in here She came here She came here It's cold in here It was freezing I don't know why y'all had it so cold

like that. I know. Tripping. But, you know, I tried to be cute. That's what happened when you try to be cute before you think about being warm. Well, you look nice. Thanks. New movie, I love boosters. Yeah, it's... So excited. Just gonna love this movie. Oh, yeah. That was my first job, y'all.

I know that's right. It's my best work. Oh, my best work. Do you feel like that about every film? I've only done three things. Yeah, all the gap. Turned and body. I'm a Virgo and this one. Oh, I missed I'm a Virgo.

Damn. Yeah, it's a TV show. Okay, okay, okay, okay, got you. Yeah, yeah, y'all didn't have a song. What you didn't have? We always have to do that. So why I love boosters? Were you a booster back in the day?

And you was like, this is something that... No, I was a broke rapper trying to stay fly. Okay, so, a booster. And so, yeah, so you got to, you got to know some boosters. You know what I'm saying? And, and also, seeing the fact that, they do provide a community service. Like, you know, the culture that black folks have

and other communities of color have influences, you know, a lot of the big fashion houses. And then it gets sold back to us. So that's with a lot of culture. And right now, and actually for a long time, people have not been getting paid enough. So these are services. you know, back to school clothes

to just whatever, you know. And so, yeah, it's illegal. But the morality is the same as what's happening in capitalism anyway, right? That's what I love about your films. Your films always try to expose how capitalism psychologically reshapes people. Is that the thing that scares you the most in society?

I don't know. I'm not as scared as I am hopeful. Oh, okay. Because, you know, I do see a path to where we can change things. And that's like what my art has always been about is the fact that, you know, we know how power works, right? Power doesn't come just from popularity or whatever. It comes from capital. You know, that's what that, you know, that's what moves the needle.

and the working class can have a say over what happens with that capital we can have a movement where you where you where we control the capital collectively right and so that's strikes work stoppages

things like that you know have you seen boosters crazy recently right when growing up as a kid boosters used to go to Macy's right and put some stuff under and then and run out right it was one or two but now it seems like they're getting ridiculous like they're

It's like teams of people running in stores, kicking down doors. See, I don't see, I wouldn't consider that boosting. See, like I like how I like how it's presented in the movie. Because although, yes, it is illegal and, you know, yeah, but I love, I did say illegal. It's illegal. But what I was doing when I did it because I grew up in a her. You know, a lot of people couldn't afford the luxury, you know, the luxurious things for their kids going back to school. Moms couldn't even buy school supplies, anything like that.

So I wasn't just stealing clothes just to put them. on, I was stealing them and I was selling them at a cheaper price, like even, you know, notebooks, divider, everything that the minds needed. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. You sell stuff. Yeah, and we focus on clothes in the movie, but it's how so good things that people have. A bunch of stuff.

You do have somebody with a laptop in it. She did it a couple of months ago. I didn't. You said you did it. It was a chapstick just to see if I could steal. You know, see if I still have it. You know what I'm just a little chapstick. Did you have any experience with stealing, boosting before?

I only had to try to steal something once when I was like five. I tried to steal Recy Cups. Oh. Yeah, and my sister told on me, she was a snitch. That's cute. My sister was a snitch. Yeah, I couldn't belay that. I was like, well, yeah.

I don't think that's booster. I think that's shoplifting. Yeah, right. Bootsin is different. Have you ever bought from boosters before? Yes, as a kid, I didn't know there were boosters, but that's all my... I was a kid, so that's all my family could afford, you know, so you go through the little neighborhood sales.

It's basically, you know what I mean? But I wasn't like knowing that it was a booster. I never knew the name of a booster until I watched Baby Boy. And I was like, oh, that's who those people are. You know, but my aunties at the nails at their hair salons and stuff. I mean, I didn't know what it was a name for that. I thought those people were just selling us stuff. And you know, recently it's been in the news a lot like you just talked about.

But if you check out the Intercept, which is an investigative journalist's site with award-winning investigative journalists, they exposed that all of these police unions came together in the wake of the George Floyd protests and hired publicists and said, hey, we're going to stop talking about police murder and all of that. And we're just going to hype up the idea that crime is rising. And in a lot of the places where they're saying it is, it actually wasn't, but there were more news stories. And then you started seeing Instagram sites hyping those things up. and a lot of those Instagram sites had T-shirt sales. I don't see people wearing the T-shirts, but they tell me that they're wearing a lot of the,

they're selling a lot of shirts. So they kept this news cycle going. And it's the same thing that's been going on in the early 1900s. You always had these things come, that said like, Negro Crime Wave, and that's what led to those first Atlanta race massacres. And that's what led to the Black Wall Street, Tulsa Race Massacre.

They kept being Negro crime wave, Negro crime wave. They always demonize us. Yeah. And obviously crime happens. That's what we're saying in the movie. I mean, because poverty is necessitated by capitalism. So you're going to have illegal business. However, you know, however, they use it as the scapegoat for what's wrong with the world.

Instead of talking about the boosting that's happening every day, the boosting that's happened when you go to work. You know. You have a background in organizing and activism, right, Boo? Yeah, yeah. I started when I was 14 and 15. I joined the Progressive Labor Party, which is a disciplined Communist Party. And I, you know, I decided I should get good at rapping.

I was not good when I decided to. Like, people were like, you sure? You know? You sure? That's worth somebody saying you whack. You sure? You sure?

Yeah, no, no. I mean, I knew, and I knew I was not good, right? So, but, but, you know, I knew that you could figure out how to do stuff and figured out, and I studied it. And, you know, pat myself on the back. I did get known as a lyricist. So, you know, that it was with this idea

of putting these ideas out. there that we could have a different world one where the people democratically control the wealth that we create with our labor so that's the goal but just also put in into context where we're at right now I love the fact that you put you know these messages in the art but the success in Hollywood ever conflict with like anti-establishment values you know everything is a contradiction that and and so but the the thing is is like That's where we're at.

We're in this world, right? So we can't get out of it, right, without working together. And so I need to get, put the stuff out there on a platform. And that platform is created by the world that we're in. And I'm not trying to go out in the woods and be like, I'm free from society, you know. Because even if I could do that, which I don't think you can, that's not the point. You know, I want, I want to help change the world. Not just be free of it.

Now, Kiki, what was your first thought when you read the script? Man, this dude got a lot going on. You know what I mean? I already was a fan, you know, and I was just really excited that I was going to have the opportunity to work with him. So I remember just being like, I really want to talk to him and see, you know, get to know him and everything. So I read the script, loved it. And then I remember we met up, we had a quick phone conversation. And then we met up for lunch.

and we talked for like four hours because he was just, I mean, you see him, you know what I'm saying? And I was just immediately just blown away. It was like I was in school with a professor. This is my favorite professor. You know what I'm saying? Learning about life.

We was talking about everything. And I knew that I had to do the movie. So it was pretty easy, you know. And she's giving me a lot of credit. But if you sit and talk to Kiki, she's like a professor. I'm always like, damn, I need to just be quiet, let her talk about the movie.

You know, because, yeah, you know, she has a way of condensing ideas into something that uh where you you're looking at the main contradiction and the main conflict and it's it's understandable and i think over the years people are going to start talking about her as a philosopher you know because you know because i i do think that uh you know she's one of our our she's one of the most loved beings on the on the planet right now obviously like kiki everybody wants to you see all these things people but but she uh is really uh putting herself out there and um looking to do good work so i i love being able to work with her now what i will say about this we're talking a lot about a lot of serious

things but this movie is is a you know the whole thing is there's optimism connected to these ideas so it comes with joy it comes with hilarity and i i played this movie 35 times i've watched this movie 35 times on tour i took the old school independent uh music route and going college to go college community screenings all this kind of stuff and um you know it's like people laughing too much over the next line that's sort of a thing and um you know just just uh it's that's one of the reasons I say. I think that's always missing. And I tell that to everybody, right?

I don't want to say back in the day, but back in the day, people were more hand-to-hand, right? They were going to colleges. They were going to high school. They were going to see people, touch people, not just worried about it. We didn't have the internet. You know what I mean?

They were worried about, let me see somebody, let me get a reaction. They were going hand-to-hand, still hitting out flyers. And I feel like we missed that so much. We're so used to this and the algorithm of what hits. But I think when you go to meet people where they at, it's so true. It's better than anything else.

I just remember being in Hampton and seeing the, from B.I.G. to JZ coming on campus and what that means to me to now. It's like, everybody's asking, is there a check involved? No check on ain't coming. And I think that means more to people than anything else. I remember this, you got to do that, though. Like, you got to touch the people with something like this.

I felt like that when we boosted the gas in L.A. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we boosted some gas for people. Like, we were giving out free gas. And it was just so dope to be out there with the people. We was just really out there talking and kicking people getting some gas. You know, it's because gas was $7. They're tripping.

in that like damn. Yes. So yeah, that's the end to boost the gas for sure. Yeah, we needed that.

We needed that. How did you choose which groups, like which people you were going to have a conversation with? Like, you have like black community

and art things and then you talk about like Asian community and then there's like an intersection. Are you talking about when we did the tour? No, no, no. In the movie.

In the movie. Oh, oh. You know, I mean, it's hard to break down when it started. But I was thinking about,

you know, the production of things. and the distribution of things because, you know, boosting is not outside of capitalism. It's part of capitalism, right? And so it's just a certain distribution network. So while I was thinking about the services that boosters provide, I started thinking about how things are made of other things and really are made of people's time, right?

Like all this stuff we got, somebody made it, somebody spent time on it. And that time, they might have been rather, you know, hanging out with their friends. family. So that's usually what we're selling. This is the time that we would be doing something else. So I started thinking about that. And so I started thinking about, you know, the factories that make it, right? Obviously, you

could go back to when people are harvesting the fibers and things like that. But, you know, the factories that make it. And I was thinking about how to put these groups together. And there's a thing that we talk about in the movie where it's like we're all

on one side of the same contradictory. So I think it's easy, wherever your collective group is, to just be focused on how things are affecting you. But what I love what the movie does is it actually showcases how everybody's being affected in their own different way by the same thing. And how are we actually being activated together? You know, you have the Demi Moore's character where we have Christy Smeet, she's the big bad villain. But then when you see Corvette, my character with the Velvet Gang, and you see how quick she is to be like, yo, give me the thing from Poppy Liu, come from China. And she's like, yo, I got the teleporter.

And she's like, yo, give me this so we can get what we get done. And you already can see that the same mechanism is happening. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. What do you say the same side? One side of the same contradiction. Is that contradiction capitalism? The system?

Yes. Okay. Yeah. And it's affecting us all in our own way. And it makes us think because we're in our own problems that is, this is just me. But really, it's the same issue affecting us all. And I think that ties back to the whole thing, Boots is saying, is that if we can get outside of just ours,

then we can't actually see that the people around us are all dealing with the same thing in their own fashion. Ours eventually going to impact you. Ours eventually going to impact you. I was having this conversation yesterday, and I was talking about how, like, you know, middle class white people are the ones that should be speaking

out the most right now. Because the America that they've loved their whole life is going to be completely different in five to ten years if we don't figure out, you know, how to take care of the least of us. I was there. But countries only as good as their, as they're, worst person. And mind you, some of those middle class white people are making like 22,000 a year or

something like that, right? And but like they're able to say they're middle class by looking at black folks in communities of color and being like, oh, I'm different, right? So there is a, that middle class is at the real middle class is actually smaller and they're really just the working class, right? Um, but those are the people who should be able to say, you know what? America would be better if billionaires paid their face it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And, you know, a lot of the way that they ended up electing, that people ended up electing Trump was that group thought, oh, he's like a class traitor. He's in the ruling class, but he's going to help us out. You know, so even a lot of the ideas that I talk about people agree with already. Like, but they just don't use the same terms maybe or whatever. And, you know, everybody knows. that everybody knows the idea that, okay, quote unquote, power is money is power, right? And they know they don't have power. And so we know all of these ideas, but we haven't seen, a lot of us haven't seen a movement

that we think could win. Right. And that's the big difference. And I think there's so much fear around what it looks like to actually create a movement, especially when you think about the different leaders. You know, usually there's a leader or there's a group leader. There's somebody that's stretched in the past. And I think there's a lot of fear behind that.

You know, at the end of the day, you see so much stuff. I know with the millennial, we don't see so much dismantled. You know, so it gets to a point where you're like, well, if I'm just going to go stand out there, I'm not just going to get gotten. That's it. And then y'all go just name a holiday after me. Like, what does it actually mean for us all to be on the front line? Especially in this day and age, because I get to the point where it's like,

I don't want any more of my friends dying. I don't want to say, let's go out there now you in jail or you separated from your family because ice came and got you. You know what I mean? So it gets to a point of how do you think the way that we think about organizing community, you know, it has to be evolved more than just being out there, standing out there. It's like, how do we actually get together? How do we plan? I was going to ask you, Kiki, did I love Boosters challenge your worldview? But it sounds like

it reinforced it. See, I feel like you arrived. We've been watching you arrive here for like the last like year. And I realized that in your conversation with Michelle Obama. Like, I think you're in the air right now. Yeah. Well, you know, I've been working in the industry for so long. And, you know, it's a difference between when institutions give you respect or acknowledge you. and your community. And I think for me, I've always been defined by my community.

As early as I can remember what the keyland to be, they have always been the ones who said, we see you, we see what you're doing. And I think at this place in my life, that's all I want to make sure that I can continue to uplift those voices. You know what I mean?

That's what matters most of me. If I've been able to continue to expand and get better resources, how can I bring that back to Key TV? How can I bring that back to the kids? How can I create a project that can inspire? And I do think it's a blessing because, you know,

this kind of work isn't always around. You know what I'm saying? Like this project, if I don't, if I don't write it myself, I'm going to be hopefully lucky enough that somebody like Boots Riley writes it, that allows me to have conversations like the ones I want to have. You know, in order to have the conversations and to even make the waves or get people to get into your head like this, you have the opportunity to do something other than,

and the guy, you know what I mean? Which I live for that. You know, it's like I live for that. But that's only one note of it. And I will say this. I feel like it's Kiki's best performance in the sense that, yeah, like, she does. I-Hart Radio is throwing it back.

So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember I think it was on a call about what we should call it

And we were thinking I'm originally calling it One of the early names of our band Before Jonas Brothers This is how you guys remember it going down Yes I have a very different memory of this We were talking about a thing A bit for the podcast

I think it looks like it's going to be interesting. On the podcast, reality with the king, But I, Carlos King, recap the biggest moments from your favorite reality shows, including the Real House Wise franchise, the drama, the alliances, and the team everybody's talking about. As an executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it. I understand the game. As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this. At the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment. To hear this and more, listen to Reality with the King on the IHard Radio app,

Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. I does some stuff on there that I've never seen her do, right? I saw it in things like Pimp and a few things. I saw it there, but we went for, you know, just from talking to her, I could see that she's a comedic genius and there's parts of that comedic genius that hadn't been on film yet. And that, you know, she gives like a performance that's more from, you know, it's how she talks. It's not the cadence like where you...

It's not my character. Yeah, you know, it's, it feels, I don't know, I say like, it feels real, right? It feels grounded. Well, Kiki Palmer, I did a tech talk that actually comes out today and talk about adaptive intelligence and performance as a tool that I've used to be able to survive my own life. And so one of my most popular characters is Kiki Palmer. It is, you know, it's your girl and the guy, you know, but that is on. only that's a character that I constructed that I created for my ability to be able to move to the world to be able to do the things I want to do. So yeah, when you give me the opportunity to say let's go let me actually explore the other parts of my performance, my ability, I'm able to show something different. And it said something to me at one point.

I don't remember when it was. You were like, yeah, Boots, everybody says that they want this other thing. But then when we get on set, they want the boom, boom, boom, boom. You know, because there's a lot of pressures where they're like, okay how we're gonna make the money blah blah blah yeah you know and so for me I always want everybody the whole cast

to be doing something that they've never done before so that we feel them as a as a character we fall into them you know I thought about that Kiki that you think you're playing the character yourself I was thinking the same thing so your Kiki is the character and what Lauren is only human

yeah come on Lauren is only human I mean it's just like how we all show up at You know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, it of course is me because I'm doing it, but it's a it's a character It's also a performance a performance to a certain degree I'm not I know I mean maybe people do but you know I'm not in my house talking about some You know every now and then every now and then But it's just like it's what you it's what we do as performers I'm an artist so that's and my point of it is is that it's an intelligence to be able to perform to be able to pick up patterns to know the room needs to shift, to know what people need you to pull up more and to pull back more.

But that is you servicing the room so you're not being yourself. You're trying to make sure that the vibe is right and head up through the world. And Kiki Palmer is, that was me in my neighborhood. You know, I grew up in a very rural part of Illinois. We didn't have a lot. And so I was the one that was, get out in the floor and dance, Kiki. You know what I mean? You got to do, you know what was needed?

Do you hate that character? I love that character, but that character, but that character, what I think is this era that she was talking about that's opening up even when I came and did Just Kiki and I talked about the, it's about integration. I don't, it's not being fragmented in this space where people

don't understand what that has also meant to me, what that's cost to me and what embodiment is for me today. Where it takes a long time for you to realize poverty is not around over your shoulder. You know, so that's where, that's where I'm at. You know what I mean? I've been to support of my family

since I was 12 years old and I have no shame about that. But that's the way it had to be. They wasn't going to let my parents through. So the nine-year-old had to be able to get out there, tap, dance, and move. But what once was something fun that I did for my family became a character that I'm doing and

living in the world and I'm not constantly embodied in it. And so then it becomes the question of what does all this mean to me? How do I also honor what that has given me? But also make sure that the person that just gets to be and that's not constantly making sure that the room is right.

is able to just exist. And it's funny because that's this character, Corvette, she's experiencing in a lot of ways her own version of that, where she's trying to figure out how to maintain value, how to survive, who she has to be, what she has to become, what she's up against. And I remember we had a conversation when Boots, we were talking and having a conversation like I'm having with you guys.

And he was like, I want you to go back to that place before you reached where you are now. And I want you to be that, be the, Be the you that was on that journey because Corvette hasn't figured out what you figured out. Yeah. When do you get, I'm sorry. So when do you actually get to be Lauren? Like, when you, does it ever get tiresome to be, have to show up?

Well, luckily, because I'm talking about it and I'm able to actually start articulating and sharing that experience, I'm able to be right now. Yeah. You guys are meeting me there because I'm allowing you to because I'm actually, you know, I'm telling you and we're sharing the conversation and we're able to understand it. I think in the generation we're in, it is time to start talking about what that. Every entertainer is not the same or celebrity, I should say. But as an artist, we have to start talking about what it is to be an artist, what it is to be a person, and what really happens in that in between space. But are you tired of sharing that part of yourself?

Like, are you tired of sharing who you are personally? Like, I'm an actress. I do this part. I do this part. But now it seems like they're diving more into your personal. Yeah. I'm excited to be able. I think that's why I love doing my podcast.

I love being able to talk and really share who I. am outside of just the glip the clips and the moments that people get to see that are performing that are profusely performance based or me making sure you know I'm ready to I really want to have more conversations because I feel like I also have so much to share from what I've been through as a creator as an entrepreneur I don't want these people to go through the same things I went through oh wow you know they're wrapping us up but I do want to ask one thing because you you survive child's stardom right without having a public breakdown even though you've been taking care of your family forever.

What protected your spirit? I mean, I hate to say this is going to sound cliche, but I think in many ways that people don't believe, then that's what they would feel. But honestly, God, honestly God. I grew up in a church. You know, my father's a deacon, the foundation of what I believe,

the conversations that I've had with myself, the ritual was that my grandmother gave me, God rest of their soul, my grandma Miljia, my grandma Bertada. So I never felt like, even when I had to go underground, I knew I had God with me. I remember the moment when I was 17 and I was like,

nobody can know me because it was unsafe because I was constantly under scrutiny and working as an adult as a kid and I couldn't be sad on set or I couldn't be angry. I couldn't show any of those emotions. So I told myself, I'm going to just be, yes, let's do it. And I just said, the real me, she's going to go low-key

because they can't handle her. They can't handle the questions. They can't handle the awareness. They can't handle what the conversations that I have with Boots. They couldn't handle that. Me trying to talk about that kind of stuff. And my position is True Jackson VP. And so I just continue to survive my life.

And then at some point I said she can come. She's safe now. She can come up for air. I can talk about this and share this. I love that. You and your mom are executive producers of the men. Yes. Yes.

Amazing. Thank you. Thank you, Jess. It's out today. So make sure you go check it out. Check you, Palmer. Appreciate you. Thank you for having us.

It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get right to the latest. Lauren becoming a straight fat. She gets them to somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this.

The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

So according to Ditty's lawyers, a bear hug and a butt grab on a New York City Street is not a crime. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you gotta prepare me for stuff. Say that again. Say that again. Say that again. Say it slowly. What happened now? According to Diddy's attorneys, if you bear hug or you grab somebody's butt on a New York City Street, it isn't a crime. Let me explain.

Explain that. I need to hear that. So that is a crime. No, it's not. They're saying it's not. I'm going to explain. Okay. So y'all know Kirk Burroughs. He was in the 50 cent documentary that would happen with Diddy, right? So he had a lawsuit that he filed back in 2025 and now that lawsuit is back again and he says and he's claiming that Diddy had these like string

of like disturbing patterns of abusive behavior towards him. One of them that he mentions is something that happened in 2013. He says that he was staying in a hotel in Manhattan and he was walking on the street. Diddy found him on the street. He bear hugged him and grabbed his behind while one of

Diddy's associates stood nearby. Did not stop it but instead threatened to take his life. All this happened during whatever their altercation was on the street in broad daylight. Well, you know, 50 said that Diddy was a serial butt grab him. He would always say I heard Diddy touched your butt.

Yeah. So wait a minute. He was an inquiring mind. Yeah, I'm very, go in because I feel like you're about to say what I want to say. So somebody could bed hug you from the back and grab your ass and that's not a crime? There's no penalty for it? So, okay, so Diddy's attorneys are saying that the encounter doesn't meet the legal definition of

a crime of violence under New York City's It's called the GMVA, I believe it's called. It is called, yes, the GMVA. It's the Gender Motivated Crimes Act. So this is the act that has enabled a lot of people who say that they've been sexually assaulted or allegedly raped to bring old cases that would have been thrown out because of time back into court. Now, there are certain stipulations under this act, right? They say that it has to be gender motivated.

And they say even though Kirk Burroughs alleges all these things that happens, he never alleges that this happened because of his gender. and what yes and they also diddy's team did he's a bad hug and a butt grab diddy's team is also saying that this was nothing but a single chance meeting on a new york city street and broad daylight and they're making it clear that it has nothing to do with the gender now i reached out to

a rep for ditty's attorneys because i'm like okay so you're saying that it did happen but it just wasn't a crime and he's like um did he was never officially charged with anything this is just a lawsuit that they're trying to get thrown out um anything that did occur was just a misconstrued silly incident. I'm telling you right now, this is a double standard

because if you was a man running down on a woman giving up bad hugs and squeezing the eyes, you're going to jail. That's right. And another thing that Dity's attorneys are alleging

is that even though, even if it did happen, that the complaint doesn't allege that the conduct happened for the purpose of sexual gratification. They argue that Burroughs is arguing something different that Did he only did this,

according to Kirk Burroughs, allegedly. Did he only touched him because he was trying to assert his dominance and control over him and his ability to control how Burroughs moved

throughout the music industry allegedly. Oh, you just thought he was cute. Yeah, like, I feel like they, you know, they're going too deep into it. It's a little complicated right now. I thought you was cute with a fat ass. I can brad down on you with the bed hug in the ass real quick.

Don't act funny because we outside. You know what I'm saying? That's what it kind of gave. Don't act funny because we outside is crazy. Oh, you're not like this because all these people around. Oh, okay. That's crazy. We'll see what happens.

They're in court arguing. There's no new updates, though, that so we'll keep you guys updated on what happens on people acting funny because they're outside. Now in other news, speaking of... But that's, see, see, that's funny. How can you say that story and not laugh? Read the headline again, Lord. Just read the headline again.

According to Diddy's lawyers, a bear hug and a butt grab on New York City Street is not a crime. I was done so well. That sounds crazy. All right. Well, which one do I go to? The best one. Ben hug. Come on.

Continue on. So Kay Michelle, Kay Michelle was on Shannon Sharks, Club Shayshay, and she sat down and had a conversation about a lot of different things that are going on in her life right now. But she remembered an incident

that she says happened with Charlemagne the God. Let's take a listen. Oh, my God. You spoke about having a relationship with Idris Elba. Did people believe you? Yeah, and I think they were disappointed. Why?

To hear Charlemagne the God say, when y'all found out that Idris'l's little Kay Michelle, it was like turning wine into Arbor Miss. That's hilarious. Go ahead, Leah. No, it was hilarious, but you got to understand for a young black girl, for y'all to do this, that man have never done, I and die me. We don't play them games.

Idris was amazing. He was an amazing man. In other words, he made it seem like you were not worthy to be with Idris Elba. That's true. That's what Y'allame? What would Idris want with her? We could have anybody. That is a whole hood.

I am so sick of y'all because Idris put on a suit. Idris would do fine in Memphis. But people thought that I was not good enough. So every time you would see me in Idris, You never would even put that. Charlemagne. I know he got hood in them. It just was on the wire.

We were talking about. He was living in Baltimore for a while. I went back. I had me plus three other people try to find the clip of you saying that and we could not find it at all. What did you do? See, here the thing.

Scrubed it. I don't remember saying any of this. Okay, I've always thought Kate Michelle was a beautiful woman. And I don't know, man. Because I've said a lot of crazy stuff. So I can't say if I did say that or I didn't say that or not. I really don't know.

You know, Arbamus is crazy. But I feel like you would be able to find that. Yeah, that would be an easy fine. We've tried. And I'll be honest. It's wild, y'all. I don't you know what Alba miss is. What's that?

We said a lot of things. I just don't remember saying that though. Man, my aunt used to drink that. Like Thunderbird? Like Sunterberg? It's like your uncle go get the ice. Like Bernie? I don't know what that is either.

Still reserved. Yes, still reserved or ice. The silver king, but your aunts go get the Arbor Miss. My aunt don't drink no goddamn Arbor Miss. Yes, they do. Shoot. Bautner. All that.

They might bring it in their own little water bottles. All that. Yes. And that's the latest for the hours brought to you guys by Top Dog Law. Any accident, big or small, called Top Dog Law. If you find that clip, though, send it to me, though. I do. I've been looking.

I ain't see it. I like, I like, damn, I said that. Speaking of old work. Every birthday. When I heard Arboran, I'm like, dang, Incredible Hulk is crazy. That doesn't sound like nothing I would say, though. What? Yeah, it does.

That definitely sounds like something I would say, but I just don't remember it. How much of budget? I couldn't find it. Yes. And speaking of old, Langston Hughes, it's his birthday. Well, no, it's his death anniversary.

He would have been 125. No, he wouldn't have. God bless Lexington Hughes. He would not have been 125. People, but how, Sisney Tyson and Tyson looked and she was like, 119? What was it?

Hashima. Who you want to get the biggest he hot to, Yashima? Well, unfortunately, I got to give it to myself breakfast club. Oh, boy. What happened? So I met this girl

Her name is B. She's a celebrity chef B. She's a celebrity chef. I met her in my church. Mm-hmm. We became friends, X, Y, Z. Long story short, I was in her wedding,

and she asked the bar with $50,000. Damn. At the time, I did it. I didn't think she was scamming me because I looked at it as a friend. But my homegirls was like, you know Africans is a scammer. She's scamming you.

Damn. Damn, damn. What kind of Africa's a big continent now? What country from Africa? Liberia. Damn, okay. So, long story, sure, I'm in the wedding and everything. She barraged the money.

A friend, I'm going to pay you back. I'm going to pay you back. I promise. She sent me a bogus wire transfer stating that, oh, they sent the money to the wrong account for the weddings in you look at it. So I looked at it. I didn't think it was fake because that was a friend. I thought to my friend.

Lo and behold, I was safe Then I let her use my credit card She spent like $30,000 on one of my credit cards What? Wow Never paid me back So that was last year in March The weapon was in Key Largo

It was Dr. Beatrice Salandi She lives in Richmond now But she's from Brooklyn Jeff, you might have met her before Because she was the chef at Wild and Out Oh for real So you just like I don't know none about this So you $80,000 down

That's wild I'm currently the judge ruled in my favor, so I'm $57,000 down with 9.9% interest rate. But the crazy thing was, I'm in Jersey. She's in Virginia, so I have to go back and forth to court, right? The judge tells me, you got your judgment now, get your money. So now I'm at a loop because I can't help. I can't find nobody that sells Virginia law in Jersey that can help me retrieve my money. So I had to do my own due diligence.

So I did a garnishment, flew down there, had to stay in the hotel, did garnishment and all that stuff, right? This scamming-ass chick closed up all her bank accounts. Damn. What the hell do you do? Exactly.

That's what I want to know. Why do you get all this place? Damn. That's why she won't be a friend. Exactly. So I'm a little bit about me. Been on my own since 17 years old since my mom died.

And I'm just a go-getter. I got two degrees, Rutgers, in J-I-T, and I work hard. I'm in an IT field. I've been working in an IT field. I've been working in IT for 20-something years. I'm a cyber security engineer,

and I also flip homes. One chick, one-hammer. So if anybody is interested in with, so if you know somebody needs remodeled, rehab, I'm one chick, one-hammer. Just like it said, one chick, one-hammer. But why did you like Chef B so much that you just wanted to give her all this money?

Like, what else was going on? Yeah, damn, because I thought you was about to say that child was together. Okay, great question. So at the time, me and my husband for 17 years was going through a bit of those. divorce, right? God damn.

And I was in a, and I was in a dark, thinking place. And when I called her, she was there. Bring you, you're going to be okay. You're going to be it

because she was there for me. So she picked me up because I was in my house, like, in a room for the month. She couldn't move, couldn't eat. And so I thought

to go she was there for me, so she picked me up and took me to her house. Now, mind you, she's sitting on a spread in Chesterfield, okay? So I didn't think

in a million years that she would try to scam me, rob me, because I house is bigger than mine. That's how she got the house. Yeah, that's how she got the house.

Let me ask you. Did she put that 10-speed vibrating mini-worn on you, though? Wow. You know what she did? She put that booth on me. How about that? Damn, she hit you with the root? Let me tell you something, Charlotte, Maine.

She had to hit me with something. Because you're talking about a chick that came up from nothing, and my money is my power. My money and my crass, and she effed it all up. My crack score went from $8.50 to $600. Damn. Well, listen, I hope you go find another. other root doctor to get that off you. I hope you already got it off you.

And, man, I hope that you, uh, you know, get everything that you're supposed to get in court, man. That's a horrible story. Yeah, it is. Damn. Good morning. Who's this? They was doing something else.

She just said, she got hit with root and the 10 speed by Brayton Minnie Juan. No, she didn't. Good morning. Who's this? This is Jay. Jay. What up? What up?

How are you, sir? Who you want to get the biggest he-haar to? The biggest he-ha goes to everybody in the world who thought the boy didn't have any more slap. Iceman is where. Everybody who said Drake was done, let's go. Show me out of the day. Biggest he-ha.

It's going down. Who said Drake was done, sir? I mean, you've been on the internet, Charlemagne. Cut the jokes, bro. I think that what y'all don't realize is he just lost a rap battle. He was done in regards

to getting his ass kicked by Kendrick. Nobody ever thought Drake wasn't going to continue to be Drake, except for Drake. Drake was holding himself back. So nobody was saying they didn't want to hear the boy no more or nothing. And then we had one of the greatest album probably in the last five or ten years just now. Let's slow down now.

But just because there was people who didn't want to hear Drake anymore, doesn't mean he don't have a loyal coat-like following an OV host. Oh, my God. I want to tell you, Shalerman, because I'm a very idiotic fan too. After all this heat,

what you're going to do now? What are you going to do now? I ain't got no problem with Drake, man. You know what I'm saying? I don't. I actually think it's dope that, you know, he had a great rollout, and he got a group of fans that were willing to cover themselves and Frozen Seamen and then post the album and say Iceman King.

That's dope. I think that's really dope, yo. Oh, my God. Hey, that's so much. The music is great. You can't deny it. I sure can, because I only listen to it one time. I told y'all, Drake is a mood that I'm never in.

Drake is a mood. Yeah, listen to him two more times and let me hear you say that. I ain't got that kind of time. He got three of them, no. He had Drake hater. It's all good. I'm not a Drake hater. All right drinking.

Listen, music is... Yeah, I know. Go back and listen to your Bing, Boom, Boom, Bam. He can rap, though. That boy can rap. Yeah, what you mean? Beamop, boom, boom, bam.

You know, that was one of them ones. Don't do that. Don't drink that song or they're called Beanbop, boom, boom, man. I don't know. We got it from Kendrick. That's terrible. Shout out with the A. Shabang.

Have a great day. Have a goal, brother. Hey. Yeah, I don't have a... Listen, once again, I don't have a problem with Drake. I think it's really dope. And he got people out here with towels on their left-ass cheek. owls on their left ass cheeks.

Oh my god. You gotta be to have men tattooing owls on their left ass cheek. I don't know what Drake did you. I don't know if he slid in somebody's DMs or I don't know what is. And we got an OBO a tramp stamp. I do not have your O back. It's the O.

Right over his, on his lower back it's the O, the V, and then when he bend over it's the other O. Oh, shit. How you know you saw it? Now, Klube telling everybody. Yeah. He got pictures from the 90. He got pictures from the 90.

Are you finished or you done, man? That's crazy. Listen, we do the people's donkey every Friday. 1-800-5-150-1-105-1. You can call up and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid, man. That's right. And when we come back, Dre and Nicole and Lex P. will be joining us.

They're the host of the Poor Mines podcast. They're actually going to be in New York City this weekend. So if you haven't got your tickets, get your tickets. They'll be in town hall tomorrow. That's right. We'll talk to them next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

podcast, we have Drew Nicole and Lex Pee. Welcome, ladies. Yes, we're back. How are y'all? How are y'all feeling? Great. No, you're not. You're talking all that is that. You're through the going to be warm. It's cold. It's cold. It's cold. It's cold. It's windy. All of the things. But I love New York, though. So I'm happy to be here. Lexa, you say you had whole clothes?

I only think my whole clothes. What I got on? Why they got to be whole clothes? Because that's what I am. Because we used to do. It's summer time. You're not a hole, man. Stop saying that.

Okay, I'm a young queen, man. She walked in with the Grand Risen, though. She's been walking Grand Risen, King. No, you know, they said, young, huh. Yeah, we're not young. Oh, yeah, we're the oldest. Yeah, we're old. They was telling me they put me up on Younghoove.

I was like, wow. Oh, no, that's for like, 25 and under. Yeah, yeah, 25. No, I see the Asian dude say that the other day. What you said. Shut up. Shut up. You're dumb young ho.

That's crazy A Asian man said that Crazy New York is wild Oh my god They do stuff like that Only pack certain clothes Knowing it's gonna be cold Yeah

I thought it was gonna be warm and outside So I'm all right though We y'all look beautiful Thank you Y'all on tour They're still sipping tall I'm looking at all these sold-out dates Man y'all getting money

Yeah a little bit And y'all gonna be in New York on the 23rd What's the difference between the live show And the Port Modge podcast? I feel like with the live show It's a lot more interactive So obviously the audience is going to be able to interact with us more. It's not going to be us just sitting down talking about topics.

We are going to have some guests come on stage and stuff, but we're going to be playing games. We got a twerk contest. It gets a little crazy at the live show. I heard Uncle Snacky is jumping into that twerk contest. Okay. That's what that was bringing you out for. You're going to be a part of the twerk contest? He won't listen to him.

He want me so bad. He wants to see it. I'm glad somebody seen it. Because he don't remix his name as Uncle Baddy. He said, oh, snacky. I said, tell me a minute, I was like,

who? No, he'd be letting him call him that. He'd be up here twerking. See it? He'd be dropping it. He'd be twerk in your life. I said,

my twerk win would be so stink. Why? You're drinking your probiotic? I am. I am. You're right. And water. What makes twerk win stink?

I think they don't be getting in there enough when they be cleaning. They probably just be cleaning. the surface. He said the twerk wind. Yeah, twerk wind be funky sometimes. You know when it's clapped. Yeah, and that wind come up and it don't smell too fresh. You got to get in between them cheeks.

You do. A lot of times they'd be afraid to put that soap on your hand. You got to use your hand and get in the right? Yeah, you got to use your hand and get in a... And then you've got to use pH-balance washes down there. You can't just be using just regular body washing, regular salt. I'm laughing because y'allel explained it to him, like, his twirking

wind is horrible. He said, well, he wanted to know. When they talk to everybody who got Yeah. We're thinking is getting warm outside. Nothing wrong with. You know what I mean? We are helping a whole demographic.

Have y'all ever smoked to work when when you all been on stage? On stage? I have. I'm sorry. Oh, yes. That one time I do. We're not going to say who it was. It was bad.

Because we looked at each other and we was like, ooh. And she probably thought we was doing that because she was doing the good job to working, but that wouldn't why. What city? What city? We probably just keep in. We ain't doing that.

You know what, NV? I don't even remember what city it was. I do remember it was bad because we had to look at each other and then we had a holiday briefing station after the show. Yeah, it was crazy. Why are you looking at that while shall you be promoting on the show? There was no more than. Now we're bringing it with us.

Because we know better now. Shout out the Salt X up. It's going to be a part of their care package. Yep. You know, y'all got one of the biggest podcasts out right now, right? Not just for, well, definitely for black women, but just for black people. Why do you think authenticity is winning for y'all right now? because I think people are

tired of seeing people on the internet being performative all the time like I think one thing about Lex and I we keep it real we talk about relatable topics we talk about things that people are afraid to touch on and throughout the process we've still always just been true

to who we are and true to ourselves and people can see the growth and I think they like the fact that it's been a documented process that you could see from 2017 18 when we were like 27 and 28 to now I feel like it scares

traditional media sometime too, but I'll look at people in the comments and they be like, why are they talking like that? They're talking like regular people? Yeah. And I think it scares a lot of the like bigger celebrities who kind of do want to sit down with us, but I think their

teams are afraid, but I think they don't understand that we're balanced as well. Like, of course the conversations that we have on solo episodes, we're not going to talk to like a Sierra with or something, a woman that's married. Like, we are very respectable when they come sit on the couch. So I think we're definitely changing

media and how it looks because, you You know, you used to have to not go on podcasts if you're doing a press brumb. But we have direct contact with the consumer, like directly. You know, our YouTube page gets 1.7 million hits a month. So, yeah, like directly to them. I did. He said, you know. I like that.

But you know how to act on. Yeah. But I feel like people are also tired of click-based stuff. Like, y'all are having conversations and saying stuff you don't even believe just because you want people to click on it. People's, their actual clips will be amazing. amazing, hilarious, entertaining. Then you go watch the actual show, and it's boring, and it's not good. So,

I think we just really just be ourselves and actually just make good content. How does it affect your love life, though, right? Because y'all talk some crazyish sometimes. You know, Lex got holes. Dre is the pure angel. Oh, my God. I'm the sweet baby angel.

She's like somebody. Wow. That's crazy. That's crazy. Somebody thought he was special, and they don't feel special anymore. You know what's crazy, though? In real life, I'm really a lover girl. I am.

Why did you say that? What? Because Charlotte, mate, it's messy. You know that? No. He'd be like a third of high. I love y'all, but I realized something of y'all went on your recent vacations. I didn't really see who you was with too much.

Oh. You, I saw you on your homegirls. Yeah, I was with my sister. So that means you're dating and figuring it out and you locked in. Is that what the dynamic is given? No, I'm not locked in to anything. Oh, damn. I was actually in Cobbo with my best friend.

Oh. Mm-hmm. Because I was like, the way she posted. She was like who she was. Yeah. Now, we ain't paid for it, but I was. was dealt with her. Period. But do you guys feel like, because

I mean, y'all talk about everything, right? Like, do you feel like it actually impacts your dating life or like, do they get to know y'all separately than the podcast, even though y'all are keeping it around the podcast, too? So be honest, at this point, I don't think it affects my dating life, because I don't allow it to because I just feel like anybody who wants

to date me at this point, you see what I do. Like, the show is pretty big at this point. Like, I don't think it's something that I have to tell somebody if they're trying to get to know me. So, So you see what's going on and you have to ask yourself, are you okay with that? I'm okay with what I do for a living and I'm okay with the things we talk about and I'm comfortable and who I am. So I think I need to be with a man who's very secure. I only feel like it will bother somebody that's insecure.

How many times do you have to check dudes in your DMs and whose job is it to check it? Because I can feel dudes listen to a podcast and feel like they can get disrespectful. So how many times did that happen? You know what? I don't really get too many disrespectful messages in my DM for me. And I be just getting inappropriate messages. Like them trying to holl of them sending like B. Bix. That type of stuff.

They want to smell that twerkling. Yeah. Them asking for old panties, like stuff like that. Really? You're wilding. You're wild. You're wild. That would y'all be posting

on vacation photos. There are ever episodes that y'all put out and then like when they go viral, y'all are like, dang, we wish that we could have like not put that person in that situation. I'm specifically speaking about when Y'allga did the crossover episode with Savannah James.

Oh. And she talked about the strip club being her favorite place. And it was such a lighthearted girl-long girl, like girlfriends' conversation. But the way that they took it, they started talking about NBA families and what people should and shouldn't talk about. Really? Oh, I didn't even see it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yes, they did. And I feel like even on her podcast, I think she does the same thing where she gets really up close to personal because she's talking to her best friend. Yeah. But it picked up a lot when it was with y'all four. Like people were surprised that she just has a life. Yeah. I think honestly with us, like I said, we're very careful and we always are aware of who we're talking to.

So I think that's just, that comes with the territory because people assume certain things about me and Drea and that like, oh my gosh, Savannah James is talking to these whores. You know what I'm saying? So I think things always get blown out of context. But I feel like the people who support us, that's who matters because they know what the conversation is. And the same thing with their listeners, they know. know what she meant and how it was being said. These people that are always trying to drag us, cancel us, these are the people that aren't buying tickets.

They're not watching the show. They just want to clip something and go viral themselves. So that stuff don't matter. And y'all are not. We're not. We're not. It's a joke. I don't know.

But I'm saying, that's what the people be saying about us. You know what I'm saying? But like I said, I'll make a joke about it because I've been called words.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Help from Hypocrat as part of the Mike Cultura podcast network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We are. We are. We want a thousand percent. We are. We've been a lot of balance. We bosses. And I think that the proof is in the

pudding. Like, we're definitely more than what people try to say we are and that's why they're mad because they want to put us in this box and they can't. And what's crazy, when you meet, you know, I guess these women who have a different image, they talk just like y'all, just not publicly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They could.

Yeah. And that's what I was going to say. Like, I think I would probably feel bad if somebody said, if somebody came on the show and then they said something to us about a clip that went viral. But I feel like, Savannah, she used She knows people on the internet is going to create their own narratives. And she's so cool and she's so down to earth. Like Charlemagne said, I think a lot of time people feel to realize like these people are normal people.

She goes to the strip club just like everybody else do. And people would be determined and this understanding too because she was talking about going to like area 29, which is a girl, like women are in the strip club. But people thought she was talking about being in a male strip club and like they just be. Who goes to see Uncle Barry's work? Yeah. He would never make it into strip club. They didn't ever see me out of the stage. You're so tired and ready to go home.

They'd be calling you. He'd be like he went home two hours ago. Hey, y'all ever saw when Lauren was on the pole? Bricks up. Baby. Yo, that was a lot of this. You ain't know what I was bad. I don't even know why she posted it.

Show them the video before I do. It was funny. Why don't be trying to play my girl? I don't like this. They're so mad that it'd be given. That's mad. That's why. Nobody in there.

You're not a dollar throat. Show it. It was just me and my boyfriend in there. We can't leave through the dollar. He can do some money for you. Yeah, you gotta dance for your men. I know that's right. No, we don't like millstrip clubs.

No, we don't. Not at all. That's like not a theme. I was about to say something else, but I stop. Yes, it's not a thing. I don't know anybody that just wants to go to a milk strip club. Well, I feel like it's like maybe older women. They like to go to milstrip clubs, especially like in Vegas and stuff.

Do they still have the Magic Mike show? I don't know. They got it, maybe? I don't know. What should we expect from the New York show? Of course, you'll be in New York for a week. what should we did say? It's going to be just a good time. I always say it's like a slumber

party, but like me and Dreya are there. So it's like a girl's night out. Of course, date night, whatever you want to do and you get a chance to really party with us, talk with us. Like a lot of people watch the show and they're like, oh my gosh, I want to sit on the couch and talk with y'all. So it's like, this is your chance to do that. So it's really a turn-up,

good time. Sometimes with shows, we cry, we laugh. It's just a ball of fun. So it's not like your typical podcast show where we're just sitting on the couch and talking the whole time. It's very interactive and it's very, very fun. It goes crazy. I've been trying to read y'all dates.

Yeah. I mean, but like the week of Netflix is a joke, like a lot of stuff came to its own culmination. Like, probably like 19 different things that were just like,

I wonder what, I think I want, like all the answers. I'm so happy. We got sold Brooklyn Improv. I've never been big on New York because I don't, like,

it's so many people here. And I think that's an acquired taste. Damn. But I. It's a lot of people here, man. Absolutely. You're always like, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

You know what I mean? Yeah. They don't say, excuse me, excuse me. No, they stand on you like it's an international trip. I'm like, y'all don't see me? And they don't. There's too many people. But I'm starting to like, I kind of get like I get it.

Like I went and checked out the cell and all this. I'm not just doing book and improv from one week. I have two back-to-back weekend. Oh, wow. And so we've already sold out seven shows was last weekend. And then we're going into the next weekend with, I think it might already be a rap. but I've been having fun out there's a nice club I love it

and so I mean even that like the opportunity to not headline one weekend but to just lock in that's different I'm yeah embracing all that you know I mean and I went from you know hard working West Coast comic

to like finding some success and traction on the internet to basically theaters which is you got one you do one night and then you go you don't get to eat nothing meet nobody see to sit and see you sit

So for me to be like, I'm about to be in Brooklyn for 15 days. Wow. When I get home, I'm going to have an accent. We're eating everywhere, checking out everything, seeing stuff. So you really get, like, you just get exposed to more culture and stuff. So I'm in a very happy, very happy place right now. What's your motivation? Is it just to be better than Gary Owen at everything?

Wow. I love it because I, on the way over was like, I wonder how long before he brings it up, Gary. Four minutes, four minutes. I don't even think that. No, I'm not motivated by being better. the next person. Gary had a beautiful wedding. I thought you were going to be there out in Texas. He doesn't like him. He thought he was going to be there. He's not. He's not. He's real friend. He's not. Gary's your old friend. I think that might be like the angle.

Yeah. To just like be cool but not too close for you. You were there? I went. I had but you're cool. Okay. Okay. But you wouldn't know because I read it around you in pictures. So I went out. He had a beautiful wedding. Bree. It looked amazing. The whole family was there and all that. So that's dope. I'm proud of Gary. He's doing great. That's amazing. that's gonna be that's it what photos did you take that you were edited out of

or which one did they not post of you that you were looking forward to? I was at the wedding you want for him? We said no pictures he was there he was there I was in the cast we didn't see no pictures of you keep looking and they cut people off each side damn it doesn't matter though I didn't go for to be seen no I went to just be like

all right Gary's in love like I feel like there's like the game and then there's like this is our personal life. And so I went, I was a part of that. I was like, that's what this is going to be. True. The fact that People Magazine was snapping pictures was an afterthought until I started seeing. I was like, oh, yeah, the cast really is here. Yeah. Because when he told

us about it, I thought he was joking. Like, he was really going to have the cast of think like a man as his groomsman. It was the hottest wedding I've ever been to in my life, though. What do you mean hot? They're turning the air off. Oh, wow. Gary was literally like dripping wet. They were like trying to keep him dry.

It was, it was sweltering. Luneel was like, man, God, damn. It was so hot. It was so hot. I was like, Gary, are you guys going to hell for your honeymoon? Why is it so hot? Where was it again? Texas, we're in Dallas. So why would they turn the air

off? Got me? I'm be honest with you. I don't give a damn about this one. I wasn't anybody to it. I wasn't invited to it. None of this one. It was super viral. It was super viral. He invited you. You would have a good time. Yes, he invited you when he came up here to do the interview when he talked about it. I wasn't a real invite. No. That was like,

I got to tell you about the wedding, but I invite you. Like, a real invite comes with invitation, crazy. Oh, yeah, well, he didn't give him an invitation, but he did tell, he did tell Charlemagne, he wanted him there. I bet Nate got an invitation. Anyway, back to comedians with Netflix specials. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. You feel like Hollywood is kind of co-signing you now?

Because you came up without any cosides from Hollywood. Do you feel like they're buying it now? It doesn't matter? More than one thing can be true at once. Yes. Like, there can be a part of Hollywood that is rocking with me. That's like, oh, I get it. he translates and there can be a part that's like we just don't and then at the same time it's

like who doesn't and who does may be so late it's like we already are going direct so I think I think and that's the next the next level of whatever is when somebody connects all the dots and goes let's harness all of this that he built on his own and put that into this right like if I got seven million eight million followers like on all my stuff and if they all go watch whatever movie I'm in you just had a hell of an opening weekend just off me and I don't even got to be the main character. So when they connect those dots, I think that that's the thing.

You know what I mean? I have some stuff coming out where it's going to put a lot of perspective. Like I did Bad Monkey season two, and I was supposed to only get two episodes and ended up getting 10. And I'm legit and seems almost the entire season with John Malkovich. We're like friends now.

And I had to, I had to, that's Malkovich. I'm across a coffee table from them, having to hold my own. But when that comes out, it's going to be fantastic. We're picking him like, oh, he got chops. And so again, this past week of Netflix is a joke.

Like, I used to be in L.A. going to stuff and my name ain't on the list. I'm like, I'm like, Jess, Jess. Hey, yo, I don't know them right now, son. Shut up. I'm never done that scene. No, you're good. But that's, you know how that is.

Now I was like, I'm good at you. I was like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, okay, finally. Because I was there at the roast on the record. People calling your name, they know you, they see you. People love Nate Jackson. And that's, I hadn't seen that love before.

Yeah. And I don't know what changed. I don't know. What turn? What changed? God me. I think they're just like, we ain't stopping him. I think consistency.

Right. You think so? Yeah. And like, Charlemagne said when you came in like, your name is not only everywhere, but people are seeing you everywhere now. You know what I mean? And I can only be where I'm at. And don't nobody tell you where they saw you.

Don't nobody tell you where they saw you, you know what I'm saying? I don't know what happens to the room when I walked in. I just walked in it. You know what was the rose? I thought the rose. I had a ball, man. Yeah. Anything uncomfortable?

Because, you know, everybody, of course, off the moment. No, I'm a comic first. Like, you got to separate your sensibility. Like, don't be sensitive at all. You already know going to do a rose. Someone's going to, it is someone's responsibility to be wild as hell.

Yeah. If not everybody on the day is. Like, everyone should be going nuts. Like, if you look at the history of roast and some of the stuff that was said, look up what Richard Pardt said about Paul Mooney at his birthday roast. But you know the difference?

What? But you know the difference? It was close. It was actual friends. Like, like, it was. I'll give you that. Yeah, whatever you say amongst friends is one thing. But I think that when you bring in, like, the George Floyd's love it all.

No, so I was saying outside, I literally was like, you know what? Tony Hitch has had the best roast out of everybody. He had five times more jokes than anyone. He had way more laughs per minute. He was on fire. He was killing everybody in the crowd. Not just like one side was laughing. You could see it was not bipartisan.

And then when he got up, he just started, you saw him win by the third or four. they're like, oh, he's on fire. Yeah. His last joke, I turned to Dionne Cohn was like, man, he had to do that, man. He hadn't until that. Because my thing, to me personally, I'll write whatever. Like, my pen is strong enough to be like, let's do it.

But I only want to talk about people who are there alive that are, you know what I'm saying? And I get that. It was so relevant that it's in the zeitaxe. Like, it's a part of the culture. Like, the George Floyd thing should have shaken the world. You know what I get it. But I don't. There's no humor in that.

To whip it into the back half of a metaphor to just say that you're funny. I was like, ooh, that was unnecessary. Yeah. But I just thought, I was like, I said, what's it, Stephen Jackson? Yeah. I said, yeah, you got to see him. I said, I was like, yeah, you ain't going to take that joke very life. Jeff told me Matt Barnes was that.

So imagine if Stephen was in that crowd. But that's what I'm saying. Imagine if somebody that loves George Floyd on that level is in that crowd. You're free to say the joke. But boy, you got to deal with the consequences. Oh, you got freedom of speech. That's right. But people got freedom of a bbing, bing, bing, pink, pink, pink, bing, pink,

say what you want jail don't scare everybody no you know what I go right back that's the person who's going to do it and some people do their jail math they're like okay how much is this one cost me exactly how much time I'm gonna do for this what's a body shot going around me

what's a chin shot going to cut yeah that's why the highlight of the night for me was Cheryl cat and it was Tony until he said the joke that I said that here I was like yo he was going going wasn't coming up for air he was on fire He was like, yo, it was crazy. But his ending was wild, and it just made me like, it made everybody cringe, you know, for the most part.

It was like a sailboat with hell of wind. And then that last one was like, oh, they ain't going to make the short. Damn. Like, he had. And then Naim Lin had an amazing saying. Yeah, Naim was funny. And he kind of set the tone because he was much, he was early on. Yeah.

And he was on fire. And then, like, but Cheryl, again, everyone watching was like, crazy. She was, she was, you got to like exhale. Like, finally. somebody. What were we doing? Because Kevin was laughing.

And Cheryl was like, he was like, he was like, I don't feel like nothing beats black deaf comedy jam era energy. If you come from that era

that we were using the deaf comedy jam like the cats, Cheryl's, if you come from that style of comedy, that's top tip to me. Period.

What are some of the other women that you thought would have killed at the roast? Not just Cheryl. Because we just had Cheryl. In the spot or at all. Tiffany was sitting up there.

Tiffany ain't come out swinging. You know what I mean? She ain't saying nothing. She ain't. didn't get a chance to go up there but just up there to go after to follow the Tony Radcliffs

and the Jays and the you know, Shane Gillis his gift. I mean my bad, what I call him? Ratcliffe? Yeah, my bad. Like Daniel Radcliffe? No, I understand the mix up. But I'm saying like

what I said out there that I'll say again and I want to make sure I don't miss my words because I am, like I love what Cheryl did. Yeah. Fan of Cheryl. For sure. I want to put a pen in that. Sherrill's awesome.

Bam, got that. In that spot though, Who else could have probably hit a home run, in my opinion? I think some more would have hit that. You know what I mean? At least a triple. Yep. Yep.

Ms. Laura. Leslie Jones would have ate in that spot. Cocoa Brown would have flipped the entire building on its back. You would have cooked in that spot. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Chef it. Yeah. In the little chocolate, you had a little, you had a little, did you see what she wore?

Oh, I did. on the carpet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but some little shit like some little, what were them shoes? They were, oh my God. Fun were gold on the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were nice.

The ones from Lepricon. Those were cold. No, I don't want to fight. You didn't say that to my face. Wow. I said that was really nice. You looked amazing. Thank you.

That was dope. Jeffrey Campbell's. Those are Jeffrey Campbell's. Okay. But yeah, no, I'm totally with you with Adele and Leslie. Like, yeah. But I think that they would have rocked that spot. I think, yeah, I think so too.

I think, but I wouldn't even just say like, oh, it needed to be. a female either. Like, I would have liked to see like, like, Quake would have went crazy right there. Yeah, he was there. He was just in the audience, yeah. I mean, we were all just there. That was our Super Bowl. Be honest with you. So,

I thought it was fun, but I think people just have to separate, like, jokes from, like, true sentiment. You know what I mean? Nate Jackson, he's going to be at the Brooklyn Improv again, and where else can people follow? You know, like good stuff. Superfunnycom com, Nate Jacksoncomedy com,com, superfunycomedyjam.

and then on social media just Mr. Nate Jackson or just Nate Jackson. If you type Nate Jackson and something within two clicks, you'll be there. It's Nate Jackson, ladies and gentlemen. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you guys. All right, well, salute to Nate Jackson for joining us now.
