This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hello, hello, all my people, what's up? It's Questlove. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with the one and only ASAP Rocky. He reflects on his journey from Harlem Roots to a global icon status and discovering the hip-hop origin of his name. The ledge was on the TV.

Raqim had the bucket hat can go join on. Apostle. That's Raqin. That's who you named after. I just was like, damn, that f***. The SWAT. Listen to the Questlove show on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom podcast.

Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist, Dr. Steve Poulter, to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the Valley of Despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward. Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

Good morning. This is Mr. Stonewony. What was out of Georgia? What's up, Mr. Show Money? Who you want to get the biggest he-haw to? You, Y-O-U. You're a violation, first of all,

you're going to mess up a lot of big guests for the breakfast club. You violated my man, hole. I don't even, I can't repeat the comment if you move about hold. Hold?

But then also, yes, sir. You talk about Jay-Z? First of all, I'm a Pinkett-Smith-W-Win-Smith-Win-R-A-Kata, okay? Yeah, whatever, fan. Listen.

You violate. Jay-Z? You know what she said? I was, yes, sir. I forget the comedy was last week. So that Holmes said something. Yeah. Oh, when I- gave him a pause because what he said was pause-worthy.

Yeah, you don't pause, Jay-Zee. No, that's not, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Show, my name says, he was having a conversation about not having yes-men around you. So you was going to sit around him and looking. No, you can't sit around, Holme here, something so egregious and not pause. Hove is not above you to pause. You don't call Jay-Z. No, no, that was egregious.

Listen, DJ Envy, when you can't land the whole interview, whenever you do an interview, this is why. You only interview Jay-Z once in life, unless you're Angie Martinez. In the other days, I say something about Envy putting words in your mouth. Like, the way you say in was just crazy. DJ-in, don't put words in my mouth. Yes. You know, come on, bro.

NVV. I'm about the donkey that day you came to the lady that wanted to have money back on the wedding hour from the wedding. And I have a hug and died. Okay. And then you said, you know, do the end up with words in my mouth. Yes, I don't like when people put words in my mouth. But don't say anything like that, buddy. Yo, what are you talking about?

He's very zesty, Mr. Showmoney. This is crazy. This is crazy. He's not playing with you. Can we play the JZ clip? Don't have a one yet. No, we're not. I want to play the JZ clip.

so people know why that was Paul's work. Yes, sir. Did you call my man yet? I bought your merch. Coordy's directing London, New Jersey. 9.08845. God damn, don't be giving up the man number over the radio. It's tens of millions of people listening.

That's his business number. You should have said, hold on, and gave it to him off air, Mr. Show Money. That's his business number. Now, ain't nobody going to be able to get through, because everybody's going to be flooding his line calling him for no damn reason. Because Mr. Show Money decided to bring him. The broadcaster's number to 10 million people. That's a big number.

That's good average. How about you? My commission. Yo, yo, you're trying to me, bud. We don't all have 400 million. You know, hang up on Mr. Showmoney. This guy's crazy. Have a good day, Mr. Show Money.

All right. We do that donkey. We do the people's donkey every Friday. Okay, 1-800, 585, 105.1. You can call up and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid, okay? Mr. Showman, just did, like, throw him. He just everything he threw up. This is going crazy.

Jay Z. My man that own this. You know you're in your mouth. I love Hove. Hove is one of my entertainment inspirations. Why you glazing? Idos.

Why you glazing? Jay-Z. Clarence. Alc. Al. Peeze. Pee Green. Those are my four entertainment

inspirations. I love those brothers. Okay. But you're not over. You're not above a pause. Okay. Because that was crazy. All right.

Hey, yo. Tug you, bro. It's been three days, man. You ain't. You ain't. hitting it hard anymore. You're not working out. You're not attacking it the same way, bro.

Like, get it there, man. No, no, I'll come with you. No, you got to leave all. I'll come with you. Yeah. Hey, I'll come with you. I'll come with you. How many times you heard that?

Because this is that in my heart. He's crazy. He's missing apart. Jesus Christ. And that's his friend. Nobody. First of all, I love Jay-Z. I told you.

I got four entertainment inspirations. Okay. J-Z. Clarence Avon, P.D. Green. Okay. And Arsenio Hall. Just glazed? And by the way, I'm publishing Arsenio Hall's memoir.

It'll be out April 7th. Okay, but you can pre-order it right now what is called Arsenio a memoir, and it's one of the best memoirs ever read in my life. I'm not saying that because I'm publishing it via Black Privileged Publishing. I'm saying that because it's true. I would really love to meet that, brother. But nobody's above a pause,

especially when it's outrageous. Yeah, yeah. Do you ever hear Jay Z say pause? Yes, he has a pause. He's going to have a buzz. Yeah, so how does he above it? love to pause. I don't understand what I'm saying. That's what I was talking about.

The AEO was that error. That's what it started from. Damn. Slued the whole. All right. Now, let's open up the phone lines. It's Friday so you know what that means? It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. Why you move your hand like that when you do it? Shut up, man. Why use your hand like that? Playing with the testes?

Wow. Crazy. All right. So the question is 100, 15-5-105-1. Now, this week is supposed to be a huge snowstorm. The weather's supposed to be disgusting. And some of y'all trying to get snowed in with your best eater. Okay. God damn. So we're asking 800. But your best eater should be

your significant other, I would hope so. 585151. Have you ever been snowed in with the wrong person? I'm stuck with the wrong person. That's a different conversation. Okay. Because your best eat is the right person. But the wrong person that's nasty work. Somebody on the chat just said that, you know,

they were snowed in with somebody that had their feet steak. What they said that, they said the, uh, um, Valacio was fired. The mouth was fired. The mouth was fired. Yes. So that's what we're asking. 800-58-1-105-1.

That's crazy. What? That's just crazy to say. Something's wrong with our listeners, man. Yeah. Just don't put on socks or something. All right, we'll talk about it. We'll take your calls when we come back as the Breakfast Club.
