The Eagles beat the Commanders 55-23 and the Chiefs beat the Bills 32-29 so the Chiefs will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl Sunday February 29th at 6 30 p.m. I'm rooting for the

Philadelphia Eagles simply because I can play during the game after the game while Travis Kelsey was giving his speech. They showed her a lot I want the Eagles to win man, but you know what? I want the Chiefs to win a three-peat, but I want I want to say Kwan Barkley to win one Now don't get me wrong a three-peat in football is incredible. You know, I mean, I've never that's something We would never have seen before and I like seeing history, but I'm going with the Eagles I want to see say Kwan one. I love That and I love the city of Philly. Same. Let it be about that. I love the city of Philly.

And speaking of Morgan, I know you mad. I am pretty mad. Morgan's so quiet. I didn't even know she was on there. She's so quiet. She's like, I'm fine. She's never this quiet. Usually she's like, whoa.

She's like, what did the Ravens do? Whoa, whoa, whoa. And my home team and my other home team. Yeah, they, yeah, we out of here. We on the couch with it, but you know what I'm saying? We'll enjoy the cheese steaks, the pizza and the wings, you know. And Kendrick and all of that. And I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go it But you know I'm saying we'll enjoy the cheese steaks the pizza and the wings, you know And Kendrick and all of that, but let's get into this front page news guys Um, so Trump was in California last week over the weekend to survey damage caused by recent wildfires He was met on the tarmac by California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday afternoon Then the two shook hands and exchanged some words before speaking to the press. Let's hear from Trump. Now we're going to be taking a little tour with some of the people from the area. I

appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me. Tremendous numbers of lives have been affected. A lot of real estate's been affected. Nobody's ever probably seen anything like this. You can almost say since the second world war, what do you think of it? I mean, nothing like this has happened. We're gonna get it fixed, so we'll get it permanently fixed so it can't happen again. And again, we'll be talking a little bit later

and we're gonna work that, okay? So Newsom also spoke with Trump during that exchange. He says he hasn't forgotten Trump during the COVID-19 pandemic and he looks forward to working together to help recovery efforts. Let's hear from California Governor Gavin Newsom. Most importantly, thank you for being here. It means a great deal to all of us, not just the folks in Palisades, the folks in Alt Vida that were devastated. We're going to need your support. We're going to need your help. You were there for us during COVID.

I don't forget that. And I have all the expectations that we'll be able to work together to get the speedy recovery. And this is exactly why people like Gavin knew some shit and say things like I'm going to Trump proof my state. I said this back in December because it will make you look like a hypocrite when you need the president. You are a governor. You have to Trump proof my state. Yep. I said this back in December because it'll make you look like a hypocrite when you need the president.

You are a governor. You have to work with the president. And when things like this happen, you're going to need federal aid. So you're going to need the president. Facts. Does it not both work both ways though, being that Trump vowed to sign an executive order dismantling FEMA and he also threatened to halt wildfire relief from California unless his demands about voter ID laws and fraud are met.

Of course, absolutely. That's why I'm saying that it all looks hypocritical on both sides, but when you hear a governor say, I'm going to Trump-proof my state, how? How are you going to President-proof your state? You can't. No, not at all, absolutely. So later that day, Trump spoke during a briefing with LA Mayor Karen Bass, and the two had a rather interesting exchange. He said

that there will be no delays when it comes to granting permits to rebuild from wildfires. Let's hear from Trump's ex. Let's hear from Trump and LA Mayor Karen Bass in that exchange. We absolutely need your help. We need the federal help. You got it. I told you. You will have no permit problem. There will be zero delay. The other one thing is they are saying they will not be allowed to start for 18 months. No, that will not be the case. Okay, I just hope you're right. You can hold me to it. This four groups said that. No. That would be it. They should be able to do it. They should be able to start tonight. The people are willing to clean out their own debris.

It doesn't cost a lot. Yes, and they lot. You should let them do it because by the time you hire contractors it's gonna be two years. He's talking about people that want to clean up their own properties. Want to start immediately. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they want to get they want to pretty much not wait on you know, federal assistance or aid or they just want to pretty much, you know, get started and do things themselves. Yeah, absolutely. I don't blame them. If you got the money to do it, good luck. Yeah, absolutely. I don't blame them. If you got the money to do it, good luck. Yeah, I understand both sides. I know it can be dangerous though, like doing it, like breathing and all of that stuff. Like you don't know what you can do. You can hurt yourself.

But they just want to start early, right? And if they get reimbursed, they would have to get reimbursed. But like you said, they don't want to wait two years. They want to start right now, put that garbage bin out there, start dumping that stuff in there, get started. And that's why they like, Mr. President, don't deport people now. We need all the undocumented immigrants we can muster. Okay, don't deport them now, please. Oh, man. Well, great segue, Charlamagne. That's what we'll talk about in the seven o'clock hour. DEI and immigration.

All right. And you know, I want to salute and continue to pray for everybody in LA cuz after the whole fire thing now It's all mud they say contain my slides and rain storms and they made fun of a little kid man Say hey, they never get that much rain. Well, they got that much rain They got that much rain. So continue to pray for LA.

I had no problem with y'all Chiefs, but Taylor Swift started coming around. Jesus. That's so crazy. I think that's everybody. That's everybody. That's just not. I'm just telling you.

It's just like, and you know what I hate?

If you need the vent you can hit us up now we got Jess with the mess coming up what we talking about? Yeah, I know DJ passed over the weekend So we're gonna send him his family some healing energy and get some updates on what happened. All right We'll get to that next so don't is the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we bangers. I know everybody was listening

to his music but I know there was a lot of speculation around his death but we got Lauren here to break down what actually happened because nobody really knows exactly what happened. Yes, so DJ Unk passed away at 43. I think it caught a lot of us by surprise. It just came out of nowhere. Yeah, 43 years young. Yeah, so Friday afternoon DJ Unk's wife posted on Facebook with a family photo, and she said, please respect me and my family. I just lost my husband and my kids just lost their father. Our life will never be the same.

I love you, Anthony, forever. So after she posted it, of course, everybody's picking up the story. He passed away, but there was no conversation about what happened, which when someone passes away, it's so rude to ask what happened. Of course. But because there are celebrity people and fans instantly want to know they start kind of creating their own narrative so the narrative that was moving around was that it had to be something drug related I don't know where that came from people

were tying him to like a history of like drug addiction or whatever to the point where his wife had to come back out again and say, listen, I know that you guys are fans and you wanna know what's going on, but please leave us alone. I wanna put this narrative to rush right now. He did not pass away from anything drug related. He did not do drugs. He passed away in his sleep of a heart attack.

So she came out and confirmed that. And normally people wait until like the autopsy reports and stuff come back and the media will just grab it because the family doesn't wanna be bothered. But it was, the conversation got so big that she was like y'all not gonna do this to him. Well you know folks speculate because that's what people do on social media but also people feel what they don't understand so folks be scared when you hear somebody dying at 42 years old you're like damn that's young so anxiety

kicks in and you start thinking about what happened to the person because you know if something did happen medically you want to know what you can do for yourself to prevent that from happening to you. Right most people want an excuse to the person because if something did happen medically, you wanna know what you can do for yourself to prevent that from happening to you. Right, most people want an excuse so they can be like, oh, okay, that's not gonna be me. You know what I'm saying? Oh, maybe it was drug use, maybe it was this,

but that's what most people do with your students. Consider this is a daily news podcast and lately the news is about a big question. How much can one guy change? They want change. What will change look like for energy? Schools? Healthcare?

Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager as you finalize the biggest contract in NFL history? I'm AJ Stevens, vice president of client strategy at Athletes First, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion

in current NFL quarterback contracts. Introducing the Athletes First family podcast, the quarterback series. Along with my co-host Brian Murphy,, athletes first CEO, we're pulling back the curtain on how these historic deals come together. You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape. The ones who negotiated Justin Herbert's extension into Sean Watson's fully guaranteed contract that sent shockwaves through the league.

This isn't just about the numbers though. It's about the untold stories behind these massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua Tungal-Valaioloa, and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line. Listen to the Athletes First Family podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Good people, what's up? It's Quest-O, Questlove. And Team Supreme and I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove Supreme with gifts that you definitely don't wanna miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove Supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical ever.

We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who are making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season, we've had some amazing one-on-one conversations. Like on PayPal, chatting up with hit maker Sam Holland,

shook a Steve Chad with the legend Nick Lowe, and I've had pleasures of doing one-on-one conversations with Willow, Sonata Matreya, Kathleen Hanna, and The RZA. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else, so make sure you go back and you check those episodes out, all right? Listen to Questlove Supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same,

our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions. Over the years we've had some incredible guests. People like Courtney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, EGOT winner Viola Davis and former Prime Minister of the UK Tony Blair. And now, MiniQuestions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories, and new connections

to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to many questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. And a lot of like, after this happened, of course, you know, everybody like gets online and gives flowers. So people were, you know, posting dance and and posting different pictures from the walk it out music video Yeah, but for those who don't know dj unc formed southern style djs with a few other djs

He came up in the south was known throughout the south for his parties And then he got signed in 2000 when he signed he dropped walk it out in 2006 now walk it out Huge record went platinum and it actually hit number two on the Billboard top 10 out of 100. Yep. Yeah, that was the one. That was the anthem of my, I feel like.

I like the remix with Andre 3000. A lot of remixes too. Oh my gosh. But then you also got Two Step. And then the remix with T-Pain. That was the remix with T-Pain. Oh my gosh. That was the banger back in the day.

By the way, 42 is also very young to be dying of a heart attack. And you know, whenever these situations happen and folks die young from heart attacks, people automatically blame the vaccine. They'd be like, it was the COVID vaccine. How come we don't ever blame COVID? Because studies have shown that severe COVID infections

increase heart attack and stroke risk as much as having a history of heart disease. People who develop COVID early in the pandemic have doubled the risk for cardiovascular events. So clearly something happened around that time that caused cardiovascular issues for a lot of people after the fact, after COVID. We don't know though with him if it was COVID related. I ain't got nothing to do with it.

I'm not talking about, I'm just saying in general. I want to make sure we separate it because we will take what you're saying and make it a whole thing. Oh, that's because people are stupid. But I'm, everybody likes to say the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, But how come we don't ever talk about the impact of kovat on cardiovascular mad at the vaccine? Then the actual virus and how that came about people don't talk a lot about what could have been prevented with the vaccine So they were forced to take the vaccine. Yeah, they were forced to take the vaccine. So that's what I mean What else you got over there? So Eagles and the Chiefs know y'all talked about this at the top of the show

They're heading to the Super Bowl, but we got to get into some things because y'all talked about this at the top of the show.

Now let me tell you guys, the Philly fans last night, all of my friends were out yesterday in Philly and this is just like a summation of what was going on. Ella Crazy. This is all of the crowd on Broad Street. Beautiful. And mind you, they were telling people like come to Broad Street so like my best friend's son, shout out to Chase the DJ, was DJing on Broad Street.

But yeah crazy Meek was also tweeting like y'all come down to Broad Street if y'all set up speakers I'll redo the dreams and nightmares video. That would have been fire. I don't even know if they got to do it because you should have been walking down the street with all those people and able to Film it and the whole Philly going crazy. That would have caused it right? That would have been crazy There were players trying to get out of the game that couldn't even get out. I see Paul George trying to drive out.

Oh my god They pull that flag right back. All right. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning I'm sorry for you Morgan. Yeah. Yeah me too. That's okay. Maybe look maybe next year All right, well, let's get into it Maybe and Jess is good to see y'all.D. Vance says lower prices are coming, but Americans will have to wait. So Vance talked to CBS's Face the Nation over the weekend,

saying that the Trump administration has already implemented measures aimed at reversing inflation. He insists the administration is working to increase the number of American jobs and improve domestic energy production, both of which he says will eventually cause the cost of living to decrease. Let's hear more from Vice President, JD Vance.

Prices are going to come down, but it's going to take a little bit of time, right? The president has been president for all of five days. Donald Trump has already taken multiple executive actions that are going to lower energy prices. And I do believe that means consumers are going to see lower prices at the pump and at the grocery store, but it's going to take a little bit of time. There have been a number of executive orders that have caused already jobs to start coming back into our country, which is a core part of lowering prices. Yeah, I'm not sure what you're talking about as of yet. Seems like people are reeling based on what's coming across my timeline and my news feeds. But I'm switching gears to the border.

I mean, it's still a matter of national security. Trump supporters are promising that immigration Reeling based on what's coming across my timeline in my news feeds, but I'm switching gears to the border I mean, it's still a matter of national security Trump supporters are is promising that immigration raids Against suspected illegal immigrants will expand now Tom Holman. He spoke to ABC's this week Saying that ICE raids will soon go beyond illegal immigrants convicted of crimes Let's hear more from the borders are Tom's of home If you're in a country illegally, you're on the table. Because it's not okay to violate

laws of this country. You gotta remember, every time you enter this country illegally, you violated a crime under Title 8, United States Code 1325. It's a crime. But you will see a number of steadily increase, a number of

arrests nationwide as we open up the aperture. Right now it's considering public safety threats, national security threats. That's a smaller population. As that aperture opens, there'll be more arrests

nationwide. So Homan insisted that the agency does need more funding from Congress in order to fulfill its mission. He also confirmed that immigration authorities will not hesitate to raid schools, churches, and

hospital locations that agents weren't allowed to enter under the Biden administration. So- Hey, by the way, ICE really snatching people up. I'm hearing some horror stories, like from. Oh really?

Oh yeah, from like people I know that know people like they getting stashed up for real, for real. And you know what else they doing? There's people posing as ICE agents, going to Latinos houses and robbing them too. I see that too. People are very scared about that. People are very nervous about ICE cause it's, you know,

a lot of people are born here, but their mothers aren't, or their fathers aren't, or their cousins or brothers aren't. So people are scared nervous about ice because it's you know a lot of people are born here but their mothers aren't or their fathers aren't or their cousins or brothers aren't so people are scared nervous who's gonna clean up Los Angeles oh my gosh stop that why do you keep bringing the bitch today that is not automatically their job yo it's a lot of them a lot of their job when people are going out to clean up clean debris in Los Angeles that's what they're gonna be calling and reaching out to you can't just be getting rid of them now at a time like this.

They're not the only ones though. All right, they're the cheapest. Oh my gosh, all right, moving on guys. Senator Adam Schiff is slamming President Trump's decision to fire at least a dozen federal inspectors generals, which Trump did do over the weekend as well. In an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, the Democratic congressman said inspector generals

play a vital role in stopping fraud, abuse, and waste in federal government. Let's hear more from Adam Schiff. The American people, if we don't have good and independent inspector generals, are gonna see the swamp refill. They're gonna see rampant waste fraud. They're gonna see corruption. In his first term, he fired an inspector general for providing whistleblower complaints to Congress, fired Inspector General for saying that pandemic response, his response had flaws. Yeah, so Schiff also insisted that Trump broke federal law when he made the firings as Congress must be notified 30 days before any Senate confirmed Inspector General is fired by the

president. He said the move increases the risk of corruption under the Trump administration. And bringing things back to D.E. and I, Diversity Equity and Inclusion, we all heard what happened with Target. Target was the latest company to end its diversity equity inclusion programs. The Minneapolis based retailer announced the decision in a memo to employees on Friday. According to CNBC, the memo cited that the importance of staying in the step with the evolving landscape to help drive growth and serve its millions of customers. With the move, Target joins companies like Walmart,

Meta, and McDonald's in dropping DEI related pledges and goals. Now Tabitha Brown, whose lifestyle products are in Target and Walmart, she posted a video on Instagram responding to calls for boycotts against those companies. And here's what she had to say. Let's hear from Tabitha Brown. I do business all over, just like many other people. And what I can tell you is, if we all decide to boycott and be like, no, we're not spending no money in these organizations. Listen, I get it.

And if that's how you feel, honey, I 1000 percent get it. But so many of us will be affected and our sales will drive our business will be hurt. I think it's just complicated. It's a complicated situation, you know, but I do wonder why people are only focusing on Target. I guess they just want to make an example out of one entity, but I mean Walmart rolled back their DEI initiatives.

Meta rolled back their DEI initiatives. Amazon, McDonald's, Ford, Lowe's, John Deere. So when you just focus on Target, but you're still on all of the social media platforms on Meta, when you just focus on Target, but you're still using Amazon every day, it's just like, I don't know. Yeah I see both sides you know I mean I see where Tabitha is coming from because you know there's a lot of you know there's

a lot of black entrepreneurs that have their products in Target but also it's like what Charlamagne said how do you pick and choose which one you want to go against like you know I mean there's so many different companies why is Target the one? I think Target is the one right now because they're the latest and we thought they were standing on business. I think that's the case. But when you say that's the latest, I mean, like all of this stuff happened this week.

Exactly. I was going to say, by the time I get off air with y'all, I'm sure another company will have made some. It's just complicated, you know. It's not as simple as saying, hey, let's all boycott. And you know, it's not as simple as saying, hey, let's go to Target and buy up all the. Right. You know, it's not as simple as saying, hey, let's go to the target and buy up all the black products.

You know, I don't, I don't know. And then when you think about some of the, um, the, uh, areas, you know, that people, uh, certain areas across the country are food deserts and they may only have a dollar general, they may only have a Walmart. So, you know, and for boycotts, it puts those people in very compromising and difficult situations. So yeah, it's, but this is the conversation and that's your front page news.

Man, that's so loaded. I'm from Georgia, from about 30 minutes east of Atlanta in Conyers, Georgia, Rockdale County. And I like singing songs and I'm a good boy. You have a very soulful voice. Did you grow up in the church? Yeah, so my granddad was a Pentecostal pastor. I didn't grow up singing in a church a lot,

but I definitely grew up with a fire and brimstone, for sure, man, with a fear of God. Yeah, you know what I mean? You're afraid to sin? No, no, not these days. I mean, I'm just talking about like back in the day with like a very religious household. Yeah yeah you know like girls don't get haircuts you know girls wear skirts men wear jeans like that kind of thing it was really real kind of tight and I mean I'm

very fortunate I guess I feel like I still subscribe to so many of the principles of you know even the beliefs are there I do love that my my granddad was as I was growing up with my granddad was, as I was growing up with my granddad, he was like, we wouldn't even go to restaurants that would have a bar in the restaurant, you know, and not that he ever had a problem drinking, but it was just, he stood on his beliefs so much. The thing that I was always with him was that I didn't subscribe to the idea that like telling people that they're wrong and this is the only way to believe something. I remember he looked at other churches and be like, the

only way he believed it was right. I remember the first time I sang at his church, I might have been 17 or 16 or something. And I remember him saying like, you know, I want you to sing at a church bed, but man, all these kids are like breakdancing and carry it on for the Lord. And I was like, yo, Pop, like nobody's brokedance since like my mom was a child. And if they want to break dance for the Lord pop like let him break dance for the Lord You know he was he was very you know stern like just by the book if it wasn't in the Bible Then it was a sin you know what I mean rebellious. I'm hell. Yeah, my mom was worse than I was I remember I remember getting in trouble for all sorts of me like I'm not doing any of that

I thought she was using thought I was doing all sorts of message I mean, but she was a pastor's kid. My mother was the... I wanted to you know when you talk about rebellious you start off playing football all right so yes sir you was a her family was a big football family uh-huh so what got you from football to singing? My dear friend Jesse... You look like a nose guard. I can see that. Yeah yeah. That's what you play? Yeah and an offensive guard as well yeah and but I mean I know offensive offensive guard as well. Oh, yeah And I but I mean I just five foot seven wasn't really happening, you know

Just I'm in high school middle school at the time Yeah, but I've been five foot seven since I was in eighth grade, okay And so I thought they thought I was gonna be big, you know, and then it just I Happened I started shooting up six foot two and three and What my ass off the line? So what got you into arts like? My different Jesse who still plays with me. I've known him since I was a little kid His dad was always in bands and stuff so we started trying to experiment and play music and stuff and his his older sister was a musical theater and got us in the

Musical theater and I just kind of fell in love with singing and I was so I was hooked I was hooked the Singing has changed my life. I wasn't good always but I fell in love with it you know and I remember telling my mom that I was gonna not do football anymore and I was gonna sing and she was so so hurt I brought out all my memorabilia like I can't believe you do this to us when we play football you know and I remember my first little we did this show called damn Yankees I did like two lines in it, I think. And after I got done, I come off stage and she was like, I'm so sorry, baby.

This is where you belong. Really? You're a star. You know, after that, I did like two lines, you know, but it was. What do you mean by you weren't always good at it? Like, how do you, you sound amazing. We were so bad. We were so bad at it.

You know? He was in a group? Oh no, just me and my buddy Jesse, he still plays guitar, writes and he writes and he plays guitar my band still and we as we were learning and trying to build bands together And do it as kids, you know, we just were really bad, you know We we suck like it we're just not good like you can still find actually on YouTube It's a senior in high school. My first band heroic bear It's still on YouTube our first little EP. And I was in like a metalcore band at the time.

And so you could still hear me like screaming away and like singing. If you want to hear it. Pull it up, guys. You know the routine. If you hear it, dude, you're going to be like, okay, yeah, you got good. Did you get lessons or did you practice or how did you get so good? Well, I think I was so lucky. I mean, I was in theater, you know, and I had a lot of good friends and they were singing. But I think the biggest thing was growing up in the, like when the YouTube era was first kind of theater, you know, and I had a lot of good friends and they were singing But I think I think the biggest thing was growing up in the like when the YouTube era was first kind of starting

You know And if I had questions or if I wanted to know how to sing there was always a live version of singer singing You know so like I could watch like live videos of how how is how are they moving a throat? How they moving their jaws how they oh? You know I could I could dissect it, you know? I could just sit there and watch YouTube videos and see people singing live, you know? Like singing, Craig David singing,

and credit recovery, I would pull up a YouTube proxy and just have it behind the video and just like listen to Craig David. Just, I'm walking away from journalism. I could listen to live videos and watch them play, you know, and sing. And it was like. Do you think you saw somebody like Craig David and mimicked him and that's how you found your voice?

Oh, totally. Yeah, some of the best. Some of the best that ever did it. Marvin Gaye watching Otis Redding, listening to Al Green. I just fell in love with the instrument and I was like, I want to know how to access that. And then you started doing these covers, right? And you started covering songs and then you did one cover that started shooting up crazy. So talk about that a little bit.

Oh, I think Shania Twain, still the one was like that was the one that really kind of went crazy for us. You know, I love my mama and my mama loved Shania Twain when I was coming up. I love Shania Twain too. That was that was a real life changing one for us. Our first one we started out with was, because June 25th of 2019 was the first time, I didn't even expect to do any covers online, and we had found the stems of Rock With You online.

Michael Jackson. Yeah, so it was 10 years, right after he passed, it was his 10 year anniversary, and so I was like, man, we should just do Rock With You by Michael Jackson just to pay homage to him, and for the, you know, and then we uploaded it, and it started doing well, and it was like, man, I said, we should just do Rock With You by Michael Jackson just to pay homage to him. And we uploaded it and it started doing well. And I was like, man, we should just keep this cover train kind of going.

So we kept on for the next few months. I think the beautiful thing about starting with Rock With You, it started getting, like I said, the first day we woke up, we had like 10,000 views. And it was so life changing for us. We're like, boys, we're getting hammered. This is sick. And it was such a weird thing because once it hit this critical mass of maybe 500,000 views and it was so life-changing for us. We're like, boys, we're getting hammered. This is sick And it was such a weird thing because once it hit like this this critical mass of like maybe 500,000 views I think people were

Looking at it as seeing the way I look and then seeing the rock with you you know and saying rock with you by Michael Jackson and me and and I'm in looking like an absolute redneck and saying like Either this is hilarious or this is actually really good. I think think for our benefit it was kind of both, you know, because just the fact that I was singing that song but doing it well was kind of funny and surprisingly good. Now Teddy, why have you tried everything but therapy? Well, I've tried therapy now sir, so you know even as we're getting ready to have our kid, me and my girls have been doing even couples therapy too, which has been so wonderful and making sure we're coming in and having this child in the most healed, safest environment possible.

But I think I think naming the album that was was kind of to have that conversation and with myself to get myself to go. I think there's just like been in generations past and even still there's this like connotation on therapy that we're like, we're not allowed to go to that or we're not allowed to share our feelings or emotions. Especially me. Yeah, you know, and I just, it's been life changing for me. And I did have even this in my brain and I was like, I'm not crazy. I don't need that. You know, I had this for so long that I was like, I know myself. I don't need nobody to tell me what's wrong with me. You know, and I feel like once I got it to it, it was so much different than I thought it would be to. And I feel like there was something beautiful about having that first album and not trying it and being in a place of turmoil and heartbreak

with somebody that was made me feel like my feelings were invalid or not allowed to have and having this part two coming out and being this thing of I've tried therapy, I'm back in love, I'm having a child, I've got some level of success in this and you know on the back of heartbreak it does get better on the other side. We got more with got more with Teddy Swims when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Wanted everybody we are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with Teddy Swims. Lauren? Was you going to therapy was that pushed on you not pushed on you but did your girlfriend

kind of like influence you to do that or was that something you wanted to do? The plan was to have tried therapy after I put out the record it was like kind of my promise to myself at the first one like I'm gonna go to therapy and I did push it off for a long time But I think I think when we first found out we were kind of pregnant She was like, you know what we should do It was never to push on a therapy like to me to have my own therapy, but I think she's such a wonderful person I think she was just like we should do therapy together as like a couple's therapy So we make sure we bring our kid in yeah

And it kind of once I felt how that was I was like You I should do some therapy by myself do and she's like I think that's a great idea So it was never kind of pushed it was kind of like I think she planted a little seeds for me to man Strong ass woman. Yeah Strong ass woman now I think she just kind of knew how to like plant the little seed for me to find it on my own Which is what it should be like, you know, one of the things I read you talked about is you want to your are you already back down

south and left LA from the fire? No, no, we're we're in LA still we're in the valley. And I think we're we're doing okay. We haven't seen like, you know, it was a we had seen a little bit of smoke in our area, but we haven't been home because of I don't want her breathing that thing You know but yeah I will say that what's been so beautiful about that situation and my prayers and prayers and prayers and so much prayers has gone into that and what makes me feel like us as a

Societies I feel like we can all be so jaded and so like tough and hardcore But when a tragedy happens You see how like quick people are to come together and love each other and beat that community in LA It's like coming together and everybody's donating their time and money and food and I know I just I haven't seen I haven't seen a Place be that you know, look we really we we unite when everybody's going through something together So you're gonna stay in LA with the baby because you're gonna move down south. You said yeah I mean, of course, I'm probably still gonna have to like rent in LA I think I might still just rent but I I was going to buy and it did spook me.

I might move back, you know, maybe to Nashville where I could work and still be like four hours from the parents if they want to drive up and see a baby. But I still want my little boy to have like a little, or girl, I don't know. Keep that money in the south, man. Yeah, you know. And your money goes farther down south. I want my baby to have a little Southern accent. You know what I'm saying?

I want him to open doors and, you know. That charm. You know, Donnell Rollins thinks that he's the reason that you're having a baby. He said that y'all, I saw y'all on, he was on his podcast. He said, yeah. And you said you wanted to have a kid,

agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line.

Now one of the things I love about this Questlove Supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical ever. We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who are making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed you know keystones to the culture. This season we've had some

amazing one-on-one conversations like on PayPal chatting up with hit maker Sam Holland, shook Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe and I've had pleasures doing one-on-one conversations with Willow, Sonata Matreya, Kathleen Hanna, and The RZA. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else, so make sure you go back and you check those episodes out, all right? Listen to Quest Love Supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pangas. What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver, and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions.

Over the years, we've had some incredible guests. People like Courtney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, EGOT winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair. And now, Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories, and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to mini questions on the iHeart Radio

app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. Oh wow. I can, I can, I might be black for real. Jay and can't swim. I don't know how to respond to that. How did you know that your girlfriend right now was the one? Because you met her, you met her at a show, right? She came to one of your shows? She's an absolute babe. Are you kidding me? How could she, she's the one because you met her you met her at a show right she came to one of your shows? She's an absolute babe are you kidding me? She's the one. You ain't seen that girl? No I've seen her. She's gorgeous.

What an angel. If you're dating and like what was the thing for it was it like you saw her and you just knew? Well I had been listening to her music for a while too so my dear friend Arsenio Archer he's a producer we went to high school together and he's like man he came to my studio a couple years ago I was like hey man I want to show you this girl I've been working with I listen to her song They've made I don't think the song ever came out and I looked her up and I was like whoa And then a couple years later, I'm going back to Atlanta. She was living in Atlanta at the time and her roommate was like a fan. She was like, Hey, I'm a roommate, you know, wants to come to show. We'd love to come to

show. Come see you. I was like, please come to show. I would love to have you. I'll put you on the guest list. And she came and said, I said, I'm going to shoot my shot. What's going on? Like, I don't know. I knew you knew when you saw her. So I think, I'm gonna shoot my shot. What's going on? Like I don't know. I knew you knew when you saw her So I think I think it's so important to to like in relationships with anybody navigating relationships I just not the person to waste time with relationships I think it's like even if me and this person and we're both single. I'm just like, okay, let's get this Let's just clear the air out. Do you find me attractive? I find you attractive. Do we do anything about that? Are we gonna be friends?

You know, like, let's just navigate this before we both thinking about it and I'm going home and I'm off and then I'm thinking about you but we're supposed to be best friends. You know what I'm saying? Let's not do all this. Let's not play around.

No gray area. That's real. You know, I'm navigating my relationship. Those are healthy conversations. Wow. That's your honest. Thank you, Jen. Leaning on intentions early

is definitely appreciated. Yeah. I think I'm gonna appreciate that. Yeah, you know? And if not, then that's cool. We could both acknowledge that we're attractive and also be pals, you know? Absolutely. Well, let's get into something off the album then. What you wanna hit?

Oh, Even Real? You wanna play that one? Yeah, man. I mean, yeah, put it on for Givion, man. My dog. Bro, the best in the business, man. All right. Let's get into the record.

Are You Even Real featuring Givion? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody We are the breakfast club Teddy swims is here Charlamagne Can I can we talk about some of this music on this new album? Sure? I loved you not your man is a very vulnerable record. Thank you sir Have you ever really felt like you gave everything to a woman and it wasn't enough? Yeah. Oh, yeah, man I think it was important to start this one out like that because I was I wrote this forever good

I was in a place with somebody where my, I know it's hard. I don't want to talk about her in a way that, because I, and now I've, as I've grown and healed and moved on, it's, I thank her for, for what we went through, you know, and I'm grateful for that time and space that we had together. I was at a place where I felt like I was given everything and my feelings and my, I was, I was not validated or it was not enough or I was crazy or feeling this way or I was Abusive situation. I don't know. I don't want to I don't want to say it. Well, I'm mostly abusive

Oh both man physically and she was she was just not good She was not a good person and I want the best for her But yeah, it was a very tough thing to try to try to heal somebody try to make space for someone to heal Try to give somebody everything. You would think you would think if you had a if you had a passion, I'll just make it like this. You had a passion in your life, and you had somebody in your life that says you can quit your job and just focus on your passion.

I'll take care of the rest. You got it. And you don't do anything with your life, but you just eat Xanax all day and lay around and blame somebody for your shortcomings when you had the opportunity to follow your dream and somebody that would support you in your dreams. You'd be so surprised to see if somebody had the opportunity to follow their dreams and they had everything taken care of, how many people would be like, if everything's taken care of, I'm not going to do s*** anymore.

You can't put ambition and drive into somebody. You can't heal nobody. You can't save nobody. I've started to go on that tangent. From that situation, do you feel like you're no longer in Able? Because it's like, though you want to do something out of love to better somebody, sometimes it's to their own detriment. Yeah, I think it was an enabling at the end of the day, you know?

I was doing something to help someone become, but I think at the end of the day, I was enabling somebody to do nothing. And if that was inside of them, I was enabling that. And I think it's a common pattern, you know, but yes, I'm trying to heal and learn to see somebody for who they are and not who I want them to be or think they should be. I can tell you got a big heart,

but people will take advantage of that. Hell yeah, and I'm so grateful to be, I don't want to say I'm grateful to be taking advantage of that, I'm grateful to be available. Everybody's going to use you, but don't wanna say I'm grateful to be taking advantage of that, I'm grateful to be available. Everybody's gonna use you, but don't let people misuse you. Amen, yeah. I have a last question for you. I was reading this interview you talked about,

cause your girlfriend's black, and you talked about when you guys are in the south, you get looks from people and it bothers you because love should be love, but you're about to bring a baby into the world, you're so positive, she seems so amazing, but the world is not always like that. Like how do you defeat that? Cause you're really a really nice person. Like it breaks my heart. I mean, you know, I hate how much she's go throughs and so her dad's black and her mom's

white. So she tells me about stuff all the time about like, you know, how she felt not wide enough or not black enough and how much her, her like world and her life has been such a, I guess like juxtaposition in both sides you know feeling like she wasn't quite accepted by either side you know and so this is not a story I won't I won't tell you her story because she's better at saying it than I will I'll never tell you her story but I see how like how beautiful she is and and how I guess how like elegant she navigates being who she is. I love the way he talks about her. She's the most incredible human being I've ever met, man. I got a good counselor for y'all to talk to.

Okay, I would love that, yeah. Dr. Umar Johnson. Oh my God. You know what I'm talking about? No. Come back this way, focus over here. Nope. Speaking of black and white, the song with Money Loan.

Yes, sir. That title's a little on the nose, don't you think? Yeah. Yes, sir. That title's a little on the nose, don't you think? Yeah, yeah. I think that the point of it was kind of to the core of love in itself is black and white. Like it's a black and white issue. Love is love and not love is not love and loving whether it's a person of a different color, shape, size, sexuality, same sex, whatever it is, I think that the thing was trying to say that we, no matter what, we could come from different worlds. It's a true, I guess, Romeo and Juliet story,

kind of is the basis of it, is that like, we come from different places, we come from different cultures, we have different things, but when you're in love, man, love is love, and that should be enough, and that's that's really ain't nothing great about that man that's just love you know love is love. I love that record and it's a good stamp because you know Money Long recently went viral for saying she's not writing soulful songs for white artists did you see that? I did not oh I'm

glad I got that one before she said it. Exactly. When did she do that song? Was that a long, did she do that a while ago? Yeah, we did it, it's gotta be a few months ago now. My dear friend, Jeff Giddy and Mickey Echo was a part of it with us too and we had like started working on it and I remember Jeff Giddy has been working with Money for long years and years and he's like, man, should we see if morning wants to do this song with us? And I was like, I mean, yeah, that's like, that's we would, we'd kind of like to do a record like this, we would kind of need that, you know, I would be so stoked that

she'd be willing to, because I knew what I kind of wanted to say. But also I can't say that, you know, without having money helped me say that, you know, but also without like relying too much. I think I needed to, we needed to say that together. And so I'm just grateful she took that opportunity to say, I see what you're trying to say. I'll have you say that, you know, and, and said it with me. And I think I'm so grateful for her because money's just a legend, man. What a bad, bad ass.

Now you also said you wanted to meet one of your musical idols were Stevie Wonder. Yeah. Did you ever get an opportunity? Yeah, you know, we haven't met in person, but I... You FaceTimed him. Yeah, yeah. And I got a chance to do a record with him too, so I think he's going to put out on his next record.

I hope so. I hope it's going to come out. I'm really excited. It's a good record. It's called, um, Politic Player. Wow. Yeah, which is such an honor to be on Stevie Wonder's record. But yeah, he did FaceTime.

I'll tell you about it. It's so funny, man. He did FaceTime. Did he hold the camera up himself? Yeah, and here's the thing. Here's the thing. He is actually blind, y'all. This is true life.

He was blind. I can, I can, I'm saying people say it, people, there's a conspiracy that he's not. You see him pick up the mic that fell? Look, look, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I was on the phone with this, I was FaceTiming this man and he said, he had turned his, he had put the camera around, he said, this is my son over here. And then he said, I'm over here, daddy, he's pulled over here. And he said, and this is my niece. And then he had, he had phone facing her. And for the next 10 minutes of the conversation, I'll look as far as you are are I looked at his knees and he was holding the camera like he was holding it like he's not all seedy.

And I did not have the heart to say, Hey, I can't see you. Well, you know, my dumbass, man, my dumbass, the reason he called me because I was in Tokyo, right? I was in Tokyo and I had found, I had found my favorite album of all time. Best album ever. Songs in a Keylie. I found a CD of it. It was a Tokyo version of it, like the Japanese version of it. And my dumbass, you showed him a picture of it. Oh, my goodness. Like an idiot. Like he was going to see it. Right. Right. Like an idiot like he was gonna see it, right? Face time me. I was like my dumbass too was like you give a check

He's never he didn't see it Just to put all those things to rest I don't think so. So I just, just to put all those things to rest. For you to be the person to shut down the rumors is crazy. All these years black people been trying to figure this out and you are the one that solved the problem. I just know I was looking at his knees for about 15 minutes. So again.

Well there you have it. Teddy Swims y'all. We appreciate you for joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess! On the breakfast club she's a coacheship she was able to get y'all to see something and Understand something that nobody could get you to see this time to set it on

Over the weekend I say so hey yo chill out Lauren. Chill out Lauren Put the picture of Mufasa down because that's the picture of skepta. Okay. Yeah, which is Happens to be there you just put me on who's kept the world, okay? But I seen something over the weekend with academics and another underage situation. Yeah. What was going on with that? Yes. So over the weekend, academics got called out by a ton of people.

Academics was on a stream. And while he was on the stream, he was on a stream. It was a 15 year old streamer on there and another man on the stream. And they started having a conversation that was it was weird to say the least Let's take a listen to the conversation. I said he wanted to try No, no, yeah, yeah suppose he's like your bro. Listen, yo, you always wanted me to be next to you now I could be inside Yo, if Max got a sister and she threw you the b***s would you s***?

No, because I'm 15. What do I mean? She's above 18. What do I mean? It would be grooming. It would be what? Grooming. That has nothing to do with you.

Yo, Nor, what's your address? I'm gonna send some strippers over there. Slow down, yo. I'm 15. I hope you know that, bro. You trying to get- Oh, you scared a woman, bro. I'm not scaring women. Yo bro, you're trying to put me on a case. You're trying to put them on a case. So? What you mean so? That's weird. You know all the rappers lost their virginity to like old women right? That's a wise little

15 yo. Yeah he sure is. I was doing the same thing real smart. He was very, very smart. So of course this you know know, picked up everywhere. The audio leaked from the stream and then, or was released from the stream and then people started responding to it. Artists, other streamers started reacting and calling it weird. Who was the secondary voice? The other guy? The secondary voice, I don't know his name.

There's another grown ass here on that side. I can get his name for you, but from the reports, he used to be a manager for Tory Lanez, but I would have to get his name for you. But yeah, so people were calling act out, of course, because y'all hear the conversation. It was weird. Now the 15 year old boy, he's actually a discord mod. So he works under play, uh, black boy, max, you know that he's a huge streamer. So he then got on his stream and said, look, conversation was weird. I don't care who the conversation was between. It was weird. I don't care who the conversation was between. It was weird.

And he started warning his younger community about conversations like those. Right. So act then gets back on stream and responds to people, including Max calling him weird. Take a listen. I'm going to lie to you. This turned me so off. I swear to God and I never swear to God. I never need to be on Kai, Max, Aiden nobody's stream

I don't need none and nobody who stream I got my own thing going on the f*** so when I see this this s*** piss me off I'm like bro I'm over here f***ing with these n****s supporting them if y'all think I can some type of p*** I promise you no more Max Clips I promise you every clip you see from match from now on I guarantee you $3,000 a clip every label pay me that I know people trying to make it weird and this is why you know, I know it ain't even Even max's communities really like these Kendrick fans and like that. So here is weird. Let me tell you. He's a weirdo for sure. Fat funky **** weirdo. Well, it was even more weird that he

brought the Drake and Kendrick beef into it because yeah, like people were making the memes like I saw one meme like oh act like what Drake likes because the whole you know underage conversation or whatever but I think the bigger thing here people were pissed is like yo you didn't even take accountability for the conversation you just had which was weird. He's a 15 year old boy So that was the first response then people got even more mad because he responded that way and then he continued and he eventually Took accountability. We do have that clip. Let's take a listen. I get it y'all are upset. How do we cancel act?

I'm still the biggest pause You can't cancel what you didn't build this issue aside, which I again I am wrong I will be better. This is a teachable moment I only I also don't think it's a only a teachable moment for me me at first I'm looking at like bro. It's a dude, right? It was a woman. It's like that's dude. That's like a little bro hopefully people can learn from this whole little scandal with me And I hope you know the streaming community and anybody who watches it and participates I hope those people you know whether you're underage or not

We're streamers who benefit from everybody viewing us, so I hope we all change and act accordingly I got to watch my speech. That's clear Yeah, don't worry about nobody else It's you and the fact that the little boy was telling you like what it was and like yo, no, i'm not doing that Um, this is called grooming. I'm only 15. I'm not I don't smash I don't even I don't do none of that and you and your man's kept on going on and on like what are you talking about? Like I think that the sentiment here was like I think people just wanted to hear him know that it was wrong and that it was a conversation

that shouldn't have been had. And eventually he got to that point, but it took him a few streams and a few, yeah. You know, what's interesting about the situation is he apologized and he doesn't have to because what you gonna take from that? Like, you can't still ask. I mean, that's what he's saying.

You know what I mean? So you're like- I mean, and then even still, why would he apologize and he gonna do the same thing next week? This is not the first or the last time he's gonna do something like that. Well, let's hope it's the last time. I mean, we can hope.

Let's hope he did learn. And there are reports, nothing I have confirmed, just from other streamers that have said that the younger boy's mom is not happy about this, so there may be an investigation into it, whatever, whatever. But nothing that I have confirmed. And that's what you gotta be concerned about. And that's what you gotta be concerned about,

and that's what everybody gotta be concerned about when they have these, any type of conversation on platforms because what if that kid's mama says, hey, my son's experiencing emotional distress now, and now she hit you with a lawsuit? Yeah, she already got him very, very intelligent and smart. I mean, and it's recorded, but I wanted to salute that young boy's parents,

because the fact that he knows exactly what he needs to look for and what he was Was like you said at age 15 the words he's using meaning they had that conversation that wasn't Learned all that stuff Exactly! But the fact is that he learned it and he knows what it is. He learned it, he knows what it is, and he knows how to avoid it with his stuff. I bet you that little boy learned all of that from the dedication. I don't know about that. I mean he's under a really big streamer, like, you know, on platforms, so maybe his parents

did pull into his house like, yo, like, you know what I mean? I would hope so. You about to be exposed to a lot. I bet you. Anybody that has kids should have those conversations with their kids if they're streaming so they know what to look for and know how to handle it. He handled it like a G. So he handled it great. Amazing. The only thing he should have did was put his pops on the phone.

That's the only thing he did. That would have been crazy. Dad pulling up on Act. That would have been through the string. Wow. Thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. Thank you, Diddy. Thank you, Diddy. That's who taught him, right? No, please don't. Uh-uh. Somebody clip Lauren just so you Diddy. That's who taught him right? No, don't please don't Another teachable moment. There's a Florida man named Shannon Atkins who needs to come to the front of the congregation

Y'all gonna learn about performing for that damn internet. We gonna discuss it. Alright, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. You make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida man.

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. The Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputy say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested a Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitchy.

Donkey of the day with Charlamagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Listen, Donkey of the day for Monday, January 27th goes to Shannon Atkins. Okay. Here's a 46 year old Florida man What does your uncle shala always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida and today is no exception look man I said this last Thursday when I did the Daily Show and I want to repeat it Some of y'all not gonna make it through the next four years because y'all already You know lost your mind about Trump in the first four days. Okay today starts the second week of the second

Trump administration. Last week Trump signed over a hundred executive orders and actions and on his first day he signed 26 of them. Everything from declaring a national emergency at the Mexico border to establishing that it is the policy of the USA to recognize only two sexes On official documents and those sexes are male and female. That's it. So When a trans woman gets called sir, don't be mad at the person calling the trans system Mr. His president's orders But what I need to tell the American people this morning is please remember your serenity prayer not just for the next four years

But forever. Okay. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference okay. Stop stressing over things that are simply out of your control and what Trump is doing in that White House definitely impacts society but it's out of our control. Okay if you can't come up with intelligent strategic productive forms of resistance or protest to this Trump administration then sit your stupid ass down before you find yourself in a situation like Shannon Atkins. See Shannon was on social media doing what most people are doing and that's

garnering engagement from people's enragement. See Shannon decided to say some things about President Donald Trump on social media, Facebook to be exact and let me rephrase he didn't have something to say he just starting to kill yes Shannon Atkins got on Facebook and said matter of fact I'm not repeating what he said okay somebody will clip that and make it seem like I said it and have me jammed up what's the news report what is it right let's go to CBS for the report please one man arrested for making online threats to the president West Palm Beach police announced the arrest of Shannon DePauro Atkins. The Elkie Chobie man now faces several charges including written or electronic threats

to kill. The investigation began after the FBI got a tip about violent Facebook posts directed at the president. Some of the posts were Lincoln, JFK, Reagan, Martin Luther King and Trump. Atkins posted unfortunately one is still alive. He wrote something to that effect. He also wrote another saying bullets please, Jesus save America. Police say Atkins says he was joking when he made those posts. He is also facing a drug possession charge after detectives found cocaine on him at the time of his arrest. Joking? Joking?, you thought that was funny?

I was just joking doesn't even work in the court of public opinion. So it damn sure isn't gonna work in the court of law. I was just joking is not a defense. And who you just joking like that for? Okay? See, this is the performative stuff that happens on social media.

But I've been telling y'all on this radio for years that the things you do online can and will get you jammed up offline, okay? I bet everybody who liked that post or shared that post or left a comment on that post, a little 100, or the praying hand emojis or the laughing emojis, not one of those people, Shannon, are gonna contribute to your bill.

Not one of those people are gonna donate to your lawyer fees. Not one of those people gonna pay any of your bills while you are away in prison, what you posting about killing the president for them and that's why we say it's all performative because you make a strong statement about wanting to see the president dead only to say you joking when things get real. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You gonna see this one through. Okay, by the way the government doesn't play about his president. All right, I know you might

think they only acting like this because it's Trump, but no. Obama received a lot of internet threats and people got arrested and sent us to prison for threatening to kill 44-2. Now Shannon also got caught with three baggies of cocaine. You heard that in the news report. In my personal life, I have come to the realization that the sooner you understand people be on coke, the less you take things personally. All right, that is very true,

but that has nothing to do with the law. You going to prison. And I just want we the people to be smarter over the next four years, okay? Emotional decision-making will get you results like this. But guess what? Performative decision-making will get you results like this too.

Please give Shannon Atkins the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. Yes indeed. Alright. He earned that one. He sure did. Yeah Clown. How many followers do you have? I wonder. It don't matter. You got five or ten. That fast? Jesus. You know why? Because all it takes is for somebody to see it and then once somebody sees it then they report it to the proper authorities which is the FBI and then the FBI coming to get you it's really just that simple Okay All right, well that was your donkey of the day now judge might do that just might be like 50 years

Damn any plane any funny funny. I'm just joking give me 20 All right now when we come back we have the women from good moms bad choices podcast We're gonna be talking to them next. All right, so don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club Morning everybody is the JNV Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess So we got some special guests joining us today Yes, indeed. Season two of their podcast on The Black Effect, Good Mom, Bad Choices podcast. We have Erica Dickerson and Jamila Mack.

Welcome ladies. Thank you. How y'all feeling? Great. Let's feel a little bit. Yeah. I love the name of y'all podcast, Good Moms, Bad Choices. What does that mean?

You know, I think society has deemed women and moms in a certain light, and historically, we're not really allowed to make bad choices, but really bad choices are relative, you know? Like, smoking a blunt is a good choice for me, but for other people, that might be a bad choice, you know? So I think it really kind of just flips the narrative around what bad choices actually are

and allows moms in particular to give themselves grace and prioritize whatever the f**k it is that they want to prioritize. It's funny though because a lot of people really hated that name. All of our friends told us that was a bad idea. Why? I don't know because I think bad choices and good moms don't go together and you assume that that means something terrible. But I mean, I'm sure we've all made some choices that some other person told you were bad, but they were actually fun or good or exciting. And sometimes you got to make your own choice.

And I think, you know, people put moms in a box, you can only behave a certain way, you can only dress a certain way. It's like you give birth and suddenly you're Martha Stewart or something. But the truth is, is you had a baby because you had sex. So, you know, there's just like the humanness of it. That's what I thought it was I thought you saying the bad choices the baby daddy. No That wasn't why we made the name

Did we make some choices that could have been better? Yes, but you learn from those choices and then you find a second baby daddy You said second baby sometimes people find a second baby daddy that's better. Oh, I bought it. You said second baby, sometimes people find a second baby daddy. I don't know you guys personally and I'm new to watching and listening to your podcast. Are you guys on the journey of finding a second baby daddy? Are you still with the first baby daddy? Like, where y'all in y'all journey? I want to tell you about the journey. Oh, one is engaged, okay.

I just got engaged last week. Okay. So I have found my second baby, my husband. Congratulations. Yeah, thank you. Love that for you. And I think that's another thing is like women, there's like the stigma that you have to say with your baby daddy

or you're deemed unworthy or unmarryable after your single mom. And it's just not true. It's not real. And like sometimes you got to do better the second time. And sometimes you got to leave the first one for your happiness and for your peace. And that's OK. So tell us about the engagement and how it happened, because I saw that trending last week on I think it was Twitter.

There was a girl that was like and for all the guys that keep saying just because you have a kid nobody's gonna want you. My stepdaddy DMs is lined up. Maybe and I know that was a big fear of ours. I think that was how we like kind of formed our podcast too is like as black women. It's so like the stereotype of being a single black mom is is it's crazy you know like and nobody no woman wants that to be a single mom but particularly for black women there's this heavy burden of like oh my god and the truth is is like you learn you get better when you're a

mother you take dating gets taken more seriously. I don't have time to play I don't have time for BS you know I know what I need and what I want. So yeah, I met my man four years ago We dated for three years. He's from New York. I imported him to LA because LA men are not so great But yeah, we dated we dated for three years. We lived together for two and you know, we've been engaged two weeks So, you know, we did a little I did the adult thing. Congrats. Congratulations. What about you? I have a partner and so, you know, we're still we're not anywhere near where she's at but it's been a journey You know as a single mom, I think they're like you said there's a lot of shame I remember when I first when I when I me and my child's father broke up

I remember I joined tinder and I consider this is a daily news podcast and lately the news is about a big question How much can one guy change? What will change look like for energy drill baby drill schools take the department education Question, how much can one guy change? They want change. What will change look like for energy? Drill, baby drill. Schools? Take the department education, close it. Healthcare?

Listen on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phoneHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager as you finalize

the biggest contract in NFL history? I'm A.J. Stevens, vice president of client strategy at Athletes First, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion in current NFL quarterback contracts, introducing the Athletes First Family podcast, the quarterback series. Along with my co-host Brian Murphy, Athlete's First CEO, we're pulling back the curtain on how these historic deals come together. You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape.

The ones who negotiated Justin Herbert's extension into Sean Watson's fully guaranteed contract that sent shockwaves through the league. This isn't just about the numbers though. It's about the untold stories behind these massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua Tunga-Valaioloa, and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals

are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line. Listen to the Athletes First Family podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good people, what's up? It's Quest-O, Questlove. And Team Supreme and I have been working hard

to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove Supreme with gifts that you definitely don't wanna miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Quest Love Supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical ever. We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine

covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who are making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season, we've had some amazing one-on-one conversations, like on PayPal, chatting up with hip maker Sam Holland, shook a Steve Chad with the legend Nick Lowe, and I've had pleasures of doing one-on-one conversations with Willow, Sonata Matreya, Kathleen Hanna, and The RZA.

These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else, so make sure you go back and you check those episodes out, alright? Listen to Questlove Supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver, and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions.

Over the years, we've had some incredible guests. People like Courtney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, EGOT winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair. And now, Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson.

Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to many questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. I always tell our listeners like new moms that are trying to get out there. I'm like dating apps are the s*** when you first become single. For me, I really needed the confidence boost because I felt so disconnected from my sexuality. I felt so disconnected from my value in so many ways.

And unfortunately, not fortunate, well, unfortunately, unfortunately, I really did. I needed that confidence boost to be like, oh, swipe right. Okay, okay. But I think that for me in this in this period in this time and in my journey of being a single mom, I have learned through the people that I've dated, which you know, things haven't worked out, but I've evolved so much and been able to, I think, manifest this person that I'm with now who accepts me holistically. Because one thing that we were told and we've been told a lot because of our show and the content of our show, we

talk about sex very candidly. We talk about our dating experiences very candidly. We talk about our bad choices very candidly and you're not going to find a man like that. No man's going to marry that. You like your titties out. Like you wear, you don't like shirts. Like we literally, she doesn't like shirts, I like shirts. You don't like shirts. She doesn't like shirts, you know? And her titty makes an appearance. I was like, we can't make an appearance today, okay?

The right titty likes to make an appearance. But there's a lot of narrative around just being too confident in your body. And to you. Yeah, being too you, you have to compartmentalize yourself to be a wife, to be a high valued woman, which is a conversation that I feel like is, has always been part in. It's been on the internet for a long time, but now women are pushing this

narrative of being high valued women. And I feel like that's very dangerous and very violent against women, specifically when it's pushed by women. Erica question for you, and only because you mentioned this earlier, I know what your kid's with Freddie. It's a little bit different for you too because he's an artist like people know Freddie Gibbs right? How do you deal with the judgment because yours is like probably 50 times more because your relationship and everything that happened out of it was so public like is that harder for you? Is it harder to talk about? No, it's not hard for me to talk about I mean early on in the show it was I mean when we started the podcast I was relatively like maybe five months out of our breakup.

Whoa, you were mentally okay enough? Your breakup was pretty... No I was not okay, which is why I need to sit with this **** talk. So back it up then, talk me through that. So you're five months out of you were engaged, you are like just welcome your baby then you find out there's another woman, another baby. Then you decide to go get on a public platform and start a podcast. What was your thinking around that? And like mentally, I started just talking to her. What else did you do to be able to get through that?

That's rough. You know, I didn't have a lot of thought. Honestly, people ask us why we started the show. It was really I just needed someone to talk to. And I started listening to podcasts, actually really murder mystery podcasts. And then I started looking up podcasts and, you know, actually, really murder mystery podcasts. And then I started looking up podcasts in the, you know, single mom podcast, black podcasts. At the time, there were really none.

Like the space has changed and evolved so much. But before that, it was like white moms drinking wine, calling their kids ass and like nerdy white guys like and murder mystery, which is why I was there. You know, I felt like, wow, this space is wide open. I wonder if like my friend that I just met, because I didn't know Jamila really at all, would want to sit and like,

let's just talk about being single moms. And then as we started talking and just being vulnerable, things just started pouring out. She told me the story about the couple. Yeah. Oh, about the Teresa? And I immediately was intrigued. Cause we'd hung out, but it was very surface.

And I was like, oh, this is kind of spicy. Okay. I kind of like her. I was like, okay, I can kind of get with this because at first it was very like How are you liking motherhood? It's great. I love it Yeah, you know and not being real and when she said that it immediately made me feel close to her and and I asked her At that moment I said, okay, I'll do the podcast. I don't know what that is like a radio show I was like, but are you gonna tell the story about your couple and because that's the only way I could do it on or off I don't really have a great area. And she's like, OK.

Black couple or white couple? Black and white. Oh. Black woman. And white husband. Oh. Dr. Umar would be so good. Dr. Umar was like, this white man got three queens?

Three? Or two? Two. His wife is beautiful, yes. All right, we got more with the ladies from Good Mom, Bad Choices. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne N'Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Laura LaRosa's here as well. We're still kicking in with the ladies from Good Moms, Bad Choices podcast. Charlamagne? What is a sexologist and tantric practitioner? Cause that's what y'all are too.

That's what y'all, that's what y'all retreats are about, right? I know, our retreats are, I mean, in some way, yeah, tantric is because that's what with your little snuggie on this morning. I was cold. But you know, like sometimes there's those things that just like, ah. Lighting a candle, setting the vibe, eating. A good meal, and like I think sometimes we reserve those intimate pleasures for like, you know, we just put everything in a box. And so it's just like, it's a spiritual like technology that is like a practice of being in tune with your pleasure

and not removing the divinity from intimacy and from sex. You know, cause it's very, it's given to us by God. And I think it's just about teaching and practicing other people to do that too. I read an Essence article on you guys and you talked about apologizing to your kid and how good that has been and how freeing that is. And we all said this conversation, me with my mom, like, I'd be like, you need to learn how to apologize, but you guys are doing it early. Why and how has it worked in your relationship with your kid?

Because I didn't get it. I didn't get no apologies, you know? And so I realized that as I was evolving in motherhood, and I always tell people, I'm a 10-year-old mother. I only know as much as I know as a 10-year-old mother, new-ish at this point, maybe a little seasoned, not quite. But I've seen the power of apologizing. I've seen how much my daughter feels safe talking to me

because her mom is willing to say, hey, I kind of f***ed up, I'm sorry about that. Hey, I lost my temper. And I think a lot of times we've pushed things under the rug and like all those things, you don't forget them as kids, you know? And then they show up in different ways in your life where you now have a problem apologizing.

You can't acknowledge the things that you've done wrong and now it's holding you back. And so I just didn't, I don't want that for her. And so I think it's really important for parents overall to get used to that idea, not idea, that thing, and do that. And like, why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you want to apologize to your child

if you know you're f***ed up? I do it all the time. Yeah, and it feels good. It feels good to like reverse whatever it is that you know didn't work for you You know I think about like I had like a recent like parenting moment with my daughter Because she was getting bullied at school, and I was like oh no, so we're here because I'm gonna be all these little Okay, you can't do that don't do that Erica you can just record it well because I'm gonna beat all these little asses. I was like okay you can't do that don't do that Erica. You can just record it.

Well now I'm on breakfast club talking about it. It wasn't me. You know at first I was like all right I'm just gonna like talk to the school and have them deal with this because I don't know what to do. And then I was like no I have to face this head on and so you know know, I was just, I sat with her and talked to her. She had a really hard time telling me because I think she's, my daughter's gonna be 10. And right now in her life, like her social circle is very important to her. You know, she's just building these friendships and like, it feels like her whole world.

And so stirring the pot feels like, it's not a big deal, it's fine, you know? And so I was just empowering her to stand up for herself. And after that moment, I was talking it through, I was like, damn, that was good, yeah. Y'all have a book too, A Good Mom's Guide to Making Bad Choices. Explain why they need a guide to make bad choices.

You know, I think when we were writing this, I realized there are so many books about parenthood. How do you care for your baby? How do you swaddle the baby? What do you do? There's all. Like how do you care for your baby? How do you swaddle the baby? What do you do? You know, like there's all these things about how you care for a baby. And there's rarely, there's no books really about

how the do I care for myself after this huge thing that's happened. My body has changed, my life has changed. I'm, you know, implementing a new human and I'm caring for something. And there's a lot of fear. There's a lot of anxiety in that, that nobody talks about.

And even for us, our book talks about like our journey in single parenting. There's a lot of fear there's a lot of anxiety in that that nobody talks about and even for us our book is talks about like our journey in single parenting there's a lot of mom experiencing that a lot of moms fighting it like trying to put a square in a circle like sometimes it just don't work and that's okay and so I think this book is really about the guide to finding yourself whatever that is for you and being authentic in it and also like how do you care for yourself in this process of parenting because there are no books about that it's always about the child and that's the thing about motherhood it felt like it has to be self-sacrificing but it doesn't and it shouldn't be and that's really what the book is based in.

I wanted to ask you know did you ever resent your baby father's and if you did how did y'all get over it? It's a work in progress I think that you, you know, early on, of course, there was more resentfulness. I think there's acceptance too. You just have to kind of accept the person you chose and this is it. You know, and then from there build the tribe. And that's really what I've done. I have an incredible support system that will show up when he can't, you know. And granted, both of us have very busy careers, he's out of the country out of town a lot. And so 98% of everything has fallen into my hands. So I would, I would be lying

to say there's, there's no resentment, like there are there hasn't been resentment. But I also just, I have, I also like have, have to humanize him as well. If I'm going to give grace to the women that I serve and give grace to myself, then I also have to understand where he's at. What needs were not met in your childhood? What things are you battling with that you're not confronting and avoiding? And so that doesn't always come because sometimes I want to curse him out. But then I have to kind of bring it back and say, okay, well, this work doesn't always come, because sometimes I want to curse him out. But then I have to kind of bring it back and say, okay, well, this work doesn't just apply to this.

I have to be able to apply it to both. And it doesn't do my daughter any benefit by me bad talking him, especially in front of her. I try my best for her to feel like we are still a family. You know, we pray, we pray for her dad. We talk about her dad. Like I ask it, I asked even like, you know, he had another child. The reason we broke up was because he got another woman pregnant. And, you know, I never in a million years thought that I would be able to be like in the presence of that child ever. And I know there's a lot of women listening that have maybe experienced this or maybe going through

this. My heart dropped because I know the feeling. Yeah. And it was, I literally, I just, there was no way. I remember the first time he brought his son into my house, like unannounced. And I was like, did you cry? How was the, did you cry? Like, what would your, I didn't even know how to cry. I was frozen. You know, like I,, of course, not because of the baby. You don't want to react to the baby. You know, like, yeah. And like as a as women, like we are territorial around this role of mother and like the space that we share with this person, like this is what we decided to do.

And this is an interruption. And you know, but but now, like, I have so much love for that child. You know, I wouldn't be a good mom who makes bad choices without that child. Thank you, baby mama, for breaking the family up because, no, truly, because I didn't know myself then. I was really living for him. And so I think that, to answer your question it's just about like allowing grace and knowing that yes there are times when I want to curse that man out but also I love him because he gave me my daughter

you know. Did the baby daddies ever come to y'all and apologize for what Envy's kind of referencing like that flack of like dang I'm sorry or I put you through or? Denial, denial, denial. If you ask them, they probably would say they have, but I mean. You know most dads are like, I'm doing great. Like you would see her in two weeks. Our baby's daddies tried to link up a few times once and we were like, what the hell are they talking about? They were going to start a podcast.

The dad bad choices. Let's go. Backup that network. No, that'd be a conflict of interest. That's right. That'd be a conflict of interest. No. That's right, that'd be a conflict of interest.

They were disappointed. Disappointment is better this appointment is better okay well yeah he's on by there but moving on to another story here somebody that spoke out recently Dee Woods so you guys remember Dee Woods um she was a part of the whole when Diddy was on all the making of bands identity king so she decided to sit down with Good Morning America and speak out

and break her silence on troubling interactions that she said she had with Sean Diddy Combs. After starring on MTV's popular reality show, Making the Band 3. The day we were chosen, I was like, it's bad boy for life, baby.

She says what should have been a dream come true quickly became something else, alleging Diddy created a verbally abusive work environment. I'm curious why it is happening says what should have been a dream come true quickly became something else, alleging Diddy created a verbally abusive work environment. I'm curious why you decided to speak up now. I would say that this moment now is a time where I feel like my experience, my truth will really be heard and actually considered and believed.

Did she say what happened? This was just a couple minutes ago, right? Yeah. So yeah, this is breaking right now. The sit down with Good Morning America. So we do have another clip loading where she's going to go into more detail. But I think that for a lot of people, you know, just like when Cassie spoke out or when Dawn Richard spoke out, it's just like, whoa, this is a person that was really close. And why should be really close to him?

Let's take a listen to this second clip where she goes more in detail. I see myself standing in those dark, scary, predatory spaces and hearing somebody say some of the most degrading things to me. How was it predatory? Somebody constantly treating you like a piece of meat, only seeing, only valuing you for your sex appeal. And in some of the environments, you know, it was even scary to be by yourself.

Wow. Yeah. Is that because she's gonna be on one of those environment, you know, it was even scary to be by yourself. Wow. Yeah. Is that because she's going to be on one of those documentaries, right? I think D-Wood is going to be on one of those, I think it's the ID documentaries. Fall of Diddy, that's the name of it? Yeah, the Fall of Diddy. Yeah. Whatever it's for, it can't work out well for him, a person sitting in jail right now

and trying to claim his innocence. Because even if this is just for a documentary, if I'm in prosecution, I now want to reach out to her if I didn't already know to have a conversation with her because you know this isn't the first time you've heard things like this. That's right. Yeah. Thank you, Ron. Well, that is Jess with the mess.

All right. Now let's get to the mix. I mean, congratulations to Philly. Let's start off with Meek Mill and it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. We're checking out The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

His new project, I've Tried Everything But

We've always interviewed people like that. And somebody, somebody posted the dumbest thing under the breakfast club Instagram. They said, what a country station interview Beyonce. Yes. What the hell kind of dumb ass question is that? Like what? If I let this album was country and it's charted, dummy. They wouldn't interview Beyonce if she wasn't doing country. Yeah, honestly.
