I'm glad it was a good night of R&B, and we have the host of the R&B money podcast. The authorities of all things, R&B, Tank and J. Valentine, I'll be joining us this morning.

Starting point is 00:07:17 Something from the tour last night. Yes, I want to hear Brandi Monica. Well, not the boy's mom. Let's do Brandi. down or something in there, period. Nah, let's do it. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess O'Larry. Shalameen, the guy. We are the breakfast
Starting point is 00:07:30 club. Let's get in some front page news. Let's start off with some quick sports. And Thursday night football. The Houston Texans beat the bills 2319. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NV. Sholomaine, Jess. How y'all doing? Peace, Mimi Brown.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Good morning, y'all. All right, well, we start this morning on Capitol Hill. We're six Democratic lawmakers, all former military. or intelligence officers, they are issuing a stark warning. So in a video posted on X, they are urging service members and intelligence officials to reject any unlawful orders that could come from the Trump administration.
Starting point is 00:08:06 They say the threats to our Constitution are now coming from right here at home and are calling on the military and the intelligence community to stand firm and refuse illegal commands. Let's listen to some of that video. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.
Starting point is 00:08:21 No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard. And that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever.
Starting point is 00:08:39 The American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws. Our Constitution and who we are as Americans. Don't give up the ship. Now, they don't specify what illegal orders they're referring to, but under military law, troops are required to disobey unlawful orders and can even be prosecuted for following one. Now, this message comes at a tense moment, U.S. military leaders and even some of America's closest allies. They have questioned the legality of a series of Trump ordered strikes on suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Now, those strikes, they have killed about 83 people since September. Now, Trump, he fired back almost immediately blasting the lawmakers on true social, calling them traitors, saying an example must be set and reposting supporters calling for violence, including one post that said they should be hanged. Now, at the White House, press secretary Caroline Levitt, is defending the president's actions, insisting those lawmakers should be held accountable. Let's listen to that exchange.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Well, if the president and the vice president, for that matter, have accused the other side of encouraging political violence, isn't that exactly what the president is doing when he says that members of Congress should be killed? Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress are doing to encourage it incite violence? They are literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to defy the chain of command, not to follow lawful orders.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Every single... Illegal order, which is illegal. But they're suggesting Nancy that the president has given illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order that is given to this United States military by this commander in chief And through this chain of command, through the Secretary of War, is lawful. And the courts have proven that. This administration has an unparalleled record at the Supreme Court because we are following the laws. We don't defy court orders.
Starting point is 00:10:33 We do things by the books. And to suggest and encourage that active duty service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do. And they should be held accountable. And that's what the president wants to see. Yeah, that video had Republicans tripping yesterday. I was flipping back and forth between news networks, you know, because I love hearing how everyone is addressing a single topic.
Starting point is 00:10:54 And on Fox, the problem they had was they wanted to know what was in the legal order, like you just said, me. And then you had other Republicans lines saying Dems told people not to follow lawful orders. No, they said illegal. But I do think we do need to know what illegal is. Yeah, they didn't specify, but several Democratic lawmakers said that they've received threats since the president posted that. And Democratic leaders confirmed they're now working with.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Capitol police to increase protection for the members that were targeted. So a lot of different reactions and viewpoints there for sure, Salome. And what's crazy is people, you know, what Trump did is clearly wrong, right? But is it criminal because of the presidential immunity that he's been granted from the Supreme Court? Like, I don't know. Yep.
Starting point is 00:11:38 It would be. It should be. I feel like it should be criminal, but because of what he's been granted, is it? He has a broad range of things he can say and do because of what, yep, what the Supreme court granted him so that's a very intriguing question to be continued we have time for one more envy
Starting point is 00:11:57 no uh-uh no next hour all right next hour well coming up at seven really quickly if you're headed to the airport with holiday food TSA just dropped its annual reminder of what will get you through security and what will get you stopped so we'll talk about travels do and don'ts coming up the next hour all right everybody else get it off your chest 800

Starting point is 00:12:52 Charlamy and Waleigh up there talking about my man. And that song false prophets that J. Cole Ben addressed. Ben said who he was talking about. And Joey Badass, Ben said that he heard the song
Starting point is 00:13:06 before Waleigh up there complaining. Y'all need to do y'allet. How are you going to tell Wale about his experience? How are you going to tell Walee about how he feel? And everybody know that other verse was about Waleigh and Kanye. You know, Jay Cole said it was about boss.

I don't believe that's what you're going to be a boss. Well, Walee think it was about him. And Waleigh said he confided in J. Cole and the next day.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Everybody knows Wiley's sensitive to him. And then Walee said the next day falls property to drive. How are you going to tell that man about this experience? Do we complain? Do we tell you how to feel about when somebody pump you in the and then it bleed all over your sneakers? Oh, my God. We don't even know if that happens. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:46 First of my, if I had poked me, my fucking is all of me. What you got poked at? No, nowhere. Yes, you did get poked. You just got poking, chas. You just got poking. That's the only place I can poke that is on Facebook. That's not true.

Starting point is 00:14:22 Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Randy calling from Newport News, Virginia. 7-5-7. What's Auntie? You know it? Good morning. Envy.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Good morning, Shalame. Good morning, Jess. Hey, girl. Okay, so what I wanted to get off my chest was I finally just saw that video of what happened to that mother and her kids in Chicago getting up by those children. And what was even worse than that. That was that mother of the child that was doing the jumping, putting her child online and giving that phony apology
Starting point is 00:14:53 and making excuses for her child doing what she did. That's disgusting. Your child is wrong. And just because it's your child don't make it right. I got kids too. And if my children did something like that, they would have health to pay with me because it's wrong. So that's what I wanted to get off my chest.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Hold your kids accountable. Raise these kids right. Teach them to keep their hands and their stuff. Use their words. There's no reason to do nothing like that. That lady was a sick woman with her kids. Like, I couldn't believe what I saw. It was literally broke my heart to see children behaving that way.
Starting point is 00:15:24 It's disgusting. I agree. And I don't understand how the police ain't made no arrest yet when you got people out there with videos apologizing. Like, that's a confession right there. If you want to lie to apologize. It don't make no sense. Thank you for calling, Randy.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Get it off your chest, 8005-805-105-1. If you need to vet, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I'm telling Hey, what's you doing, man? I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, good morning, good morning. It's Yogi calling in from North, Brook City. Yogi. What's up, Yogi?
Starting point is 00:16:06 Salute to Newark. Hey, Charlotte, what's up? Man, I came out to your mental health expo you had out there. Thank you, brother. I had my son with me. Thank you for coming, man. All right. Shout out.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Also, Jess, what's up? Shout out to you still. What's up, DJ Envy? What's up? Big bro, I'm going to catch one of your car shows. What's up, bro, eventually. Yo, but I just wanted to get out of my text. I ain't got nothing much going on anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I'm fucking I'm a truck driver, but I was listening to Uncle Shala big enough to Zig Paul and Anthony Joshua fight. I just don't really feel like it's going to be a real fight because all those fights he throw is rigged, basically, bro. Like, you may have to tell me you think he can step in a row. with Anthony Joshua and not get put to sleep in the first ride? No, I think, I think AJ going to toy with his food the first round and AJ going to knock him out in the second round.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Anything else other than a complete go-to-sleep that night, then I'm going to start having to be like, all right, these fights is a little bit of range because there ain't no way, bro. Let me ask you one question, though. You remember he's for Tyson, right? And he's for Mike. Yep.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Before that fight, Mike is posted videos of him sparring, hitting the heavy bag, hitting the mits. And it looked like he can, like, take down a car. He ain't throwing out one of those shots at Jake Paul, the entire fight. He ain't throw nothing hard like he was false. He ain't throw nothing at him crazy
Starting point is 00:17:24 to what he was barring and hitting the bag. But the difference between Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua, Anthony Joshua is still an active fighter now who's relatively young, who has a lot of plans for 2026. AJ ain't going to go in there and play itself, I think Jake Paul going to sleep. Yeah, but don't forget. Don't forget,
Starting point is 00:17:40 this fight means nothing. Don't put a blemence on his record, whether he won't lose or night. Don't matter, though. No, we need a... The streets need a body. Jake Paul going to sleep. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I don't think AJ and Eddie Hurons are going to play the fixed-arranged game. I don't think they're going to do that, man. But we're going to see. All right, we're going to see, man. Y'all have a good weekend. Y'all stay safe. You're going to be safe.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. Straight from the brand of their monocat, Ms. Long &roza. What's up? Hey, good morning, y'all. Hey, Jets. Did you go backstage? No.

I was literally watching him on stream. He was supposed to pop out, but the concert was great. We're going to break it down, getting into some of it. There's been so much news circulating out of this concert, y'all.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Crazy. Where is Ray J? What's happening with J-Rour? We're going to talk about it. All right. We'll get into that next is the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:18:57 It's D.E.J.N.V. J. Salomey and the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a street fan. Tell us. Man. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody that knows to detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about
Starting point is 00:19:12 everything is everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. What's the latest? On the breakfast club. Talk to me. L.L. Cubey. Yes, girl. We got to go to the
Starting point is 00:19:30 Brandy and Monica tour. Jess, you left before they did the boy's mind. I know. I know. I was looking for you. But I should have jumped up there. The job is mine. Were y'all going to do that? I know. No, I wouldn't do that. We wouldn't have. We wouldn't have disrespected them legends like that. What if they would have stopped and been like, Lauren, Jess, we need y'all up here for this. Girl what? Hurry. I don't run up there. Yeah. So the concert was a fire last night.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Brandy and Monica sold out the barclay. Let's take a listen to them celebrating that. Thank you for joining us for a sold-out night. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma-la-la-la-la-ha-la. You mean to tell me. Who there? That's Brandy. That's Brandy.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Woo. Yeah, I think a lot of people don't realize because I saw people reacting in the stadium or the arena when Brandy, like, she has personality. Yeah, I think people don't know that. She's funny. Very much so.
Starting point is 00:20:31 She has a sense of humor for sure. Yeah, very much so. So, yeah, that was them celebrating the fact that they sold out the Barclays capacity is 19,000 people. There were so many people there. Brandi did for Moon, sitting up in my room almost doesn't count. Have you ever just ran through the hits. She started off, what about us?
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yes. And I was like, look, I bet you I don't know this song. Like, yo, I knew every song, every lyric, everything. I grew up on Brandy. That's my girl. I think it's amazing to see like real fans of people come out to shows because every singer from Kelly Rowland to Brandy to Monica could literally
Starting point is 00:21:02 stop the music and they were singing word for word. Monica did, so gone. Just one of them days. Angel of mine. Of course, she ran through all of her hits And, of course, who did bring out? They brought out a ton of people. So they brought out Sierra.
Starting point is 00:21:17 We have Sierra. They went crazy. It was so wild. You would have thought that we was in Atlanta because, you know, she's from Atlanta. So the way Brooklyn had went up for her, the whole Barclays was like, wow. And that was Monica's thing. She was bringing out people from her hometown. But Monica also brought out Max B.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Let's take a listen to Max B. Welcome home, my brother. I didn't see them really reacting Max B like that. But I think it's because, you know, it's the New Jersey. generation and he don't have huge records. Yeah, nobody knew his songs, though. Yeah, he had dope underground records. Not only that, but that's not the same era.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Like, Brandi and Monica's 90s, early 2000s. Max B. was a little later. Monica lover jail, nigger. You know, so she had to bring him out. That's my brother. Like, hey, he'll be home, y'all, to celebrate. And you need, like, big crossover records to come out on the show like that. Correct? Yeah. I was... He can't come out with Bigst tape underground. I was like he should
Starting point is 00:22:08 have did a different song because the crowd wasn't reacting to him much. They were as much as they were as They could, but they didn't know. But I'm like, what song would he have done that that crowd would have known? I don't know. Well, he could have just came up like, y'all, I'm home. Make some noise y'all with the F and then went back. That would have been cool, too.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah, that would have been great. Well, they brought out our guy, Tyrese. Let's take a look at Tyrese. He was so R&B last night. Yes, he was. You said, Tyrese was so R&B last night. What else was he supposed to be right here? Because when I see him.

He's like in this, like, mold of like, he's like funny. he's so serious it's like he's an army I know that but that was my first time seeing him in concert so to see him he had like fly he threw just a flower when he saw us he stopped and yeah gave just a flower
Starting point is 00:22:50 but I don't know to see him actually in his like Tari's singer bag versus being up here and crying and stuff it was a different experience that's crazy trying to get one time I'm just saying it's being emotional what I'm trying to see that's why I meant no crying from the one you forgot that he can sing is what you know that's not true I didn't forget he could sing what I'm saying is, is it was nice to just see
Starting point is 00:23:11 him being celebrated and actually being in his showmanship bag versus being up here and having to explain everything. Taurice performs every weekend. I don't know if you know that. I've never seen him in show, so it was great to see him in his element. I didn't know that he was Britney. I mean, Brittany's best friend. I didn't know that he did. Yeah, he's my best friend
Starting point is 00:23:27 y'all other than Ray J and then bought him out. Because everybody thought that he was going to bring out Ray J when she said, because this was the song at right after she performed, whenever I'm damn. Yeah, she said, I'm bringing out my friend. Bring it out my best friend. Yeah. And I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:23:39 They should have bought out Ray J to do wait a minute with Little Kim. So listen. Oh, that would have been crazy. I was told yesterday that Ray J was supposed to be there with Little Kim.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And I know for a fact that it was in conversation, it was in play. I don't know why Ray J. didn't come to the stage. I called Ray J. I reached out to where I confirmed him from. You just call anybody for anything, right?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Because why? Yo, I waited. That's what you should have called. That's what you should have called. She was at the answer. She was at the end. She was at the desk. She was at the back desk.
Starting point is 00:24:06 She was working concessions. last night I was told your source close to popcorn as I got a saucer she was selling full moon t-shirt I was looking for Ray J though I literally stayed until the lights turned down because I'm like no Ray J, like I really wanted to see Ray Jail perform as well too but it didn't happen
Starting point is 00:24:22 but from what I was told they've been having conversations about this for almost like two weeks now so I don't know exactly what happened but maybe this will happen when people see them at the tonight at the Prudential Center in Newark I'm told that that's less than two percent there's less than two percent tickets
Starting point is 00:24:38 left. So that's almost sold out. I'm sure to sell out. Yeah. Everybody was asking me for tickets for this weekend. When I say I got so many calls, you got tickets, you got any tickets? Can you give me tickets for this whole weekend? Yeah. So I think that tonight then, uh, Prudential and Saturday, they're in Atlantic City. When I say, I just want to just give these ladies
Starting point is 00:24:54 big ups, big shot outs, right? Monica and Brandy. They were sexy all covered up. Like they ain't show no skin. It was so fire. Brandy ain't show not a piece of her neck. Mm-hmm. But she was still sexy. Multiple hairs too. Yes. What about the Godiva, chocolate goddess Kelly Rowling. What? Listen, that's all the skin. We need it, baby.

Kelly be out there catching bodies. When I was walking in, she was doing dilemma, and she stopped. And she was like, I'm going to let you all sing it. When I say, no, everybody. Everybody. I literally stopped. And I thought I was recorded. Maybe I was just so amazed. I wasn't even recording.
Starting point is 00:25:32 That was a number one record. And it, oh, my God. Another. That was a number one record in the world. You know how you always. said to us, y'all don't even understand real celebrity. Y'all don't, last night I was like, Unk, he right. That's a hit record. Yes. Oh, my God, the feeling in the arena

And to close out real quick, I do want to play Brandy and Monica doing The Boy is Mine because another thing that I was not amazed by because it's Brandy and Monica, but I'm like, wow, I ain't never seen this in person like this. They'd really be singing, no backtrack, no nothing. Let's take a listen to Brandi and Monica.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Like, come on. Brandy posted us on her Instagram story. Did she? Yes, the picture when her daughter and Ray J were up here five hours ago. I'm glad that y'all got to witness a night of real talent, though. People with actual God-given gifts
Starting point is 00:26:17 and they've been making money off their God-given gifts for almost three decades. Yes, and I think it's so fired too because... Did you just see her face? Oh my God! Oh, my God! She was excited. That means I'm one step closer
Starting point is 00:26:30 to playing Brandy in whatever series about her life. Oh, yes. By all that you're going to come through. Doesn't matter. She goes to ages in her life. Okay, don't do that. But yes, I was growing She has to be grown at some point

He is headed to the White House this morning for a meeting with President Trump. At a press conference yesterday, he said the conversation will focus on
Starting point is 00:27:33 an issue that both men campaigned on, making life more affordable for New Yorkers. Let's listen to that. I know that for tens of thousands of New Yorkers, this meeting is between two very different candidates who they voted for for the same reason. They wanted a leader who would take on the cost of living crisis that makes it impossible for working people to afford living in this city. My team reached out to the White House to set up this meeting because I will work with anyone to make life more affordable. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive killer's, but it wasn't until
Starting point is 00:28:07 23 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight, so why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of

Starting point is 00:32:06 For the more than 8.5 million people who call the city home, I have many disagreements with the president. I believe that we should be relentless and pursue all avenues and all meetings that could make our city affordable for every single New Yorker. I intend to make it clear to President Trump that I will work with him on any agenda that benefits New Yorkers. If an agenda hurts New Yorkers, I will also be the first to say something.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Anyone who thought Zoran wasn't going to attempt to work with President Trump, then they don't understand politics. But it's also nuts that Zoran Mondani thinks that he can work with President Trump. I don't know why Democrats continue to make this mistake in regards to Republicans. I get that you're supposed to do this, but this isn't the Republican Party that your grandparents grew up on. Trump is crazy. Trump be like, yeah, that communist wants to come sit with me.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I don't know if you're going crazy. But it's going back to the same thing I'm saying with the government shut down. It's just like, yo, you're really going to. try to hold out knowing that these people are not going to negotiate with you, knowing that they're not going to work with you in good faith in any way, shape, or form. For Zoran to even talk like he believes Donald Trump is going to work with him in good
Starting point is 00:33:09 faith is insanity. It's just insane. But whatever, it's politics as usual. Zoran Mondani is a politician, okay? He's not your savior. He's a politician. And, you know, hopefully he gets some stuff done. Well, to your point, NB, about the word communist, the White House says that this meeting
Starting point is 00:33:25 is proof that the president will sit down with anyone. Caroline Levitt. some choice words about this meeting. Let's listen to a little bit of that. It speaks volumes that we have a communist coming to the White House because that's who the Democrat Party elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country. I think it's very telling, but I also think it speaks to the fact that President Trump is willing to meet with anyone and talk to anyone and to try to do what's right on behalf of the American people, whether they live in blue states or red states. Listen how they're talking about him
Starting point is 00:33:55 calling him a communist, calling him a communist. But Zauron is like, I will work on president with any agenda, blah, like, why do they still have faith in these people? If I was advising Zoran, I would say I think it's pointless for you to meet with President Trump at this time. He's going to use you for photo ops, and he just wants you to kiss the ring. You have a groundswell of grassroots supporters that'll be extremely disappointed if you meet with him, and there's absolutely nothing to gain from such a move right now. Well, and to that, Charlemagne, he is expected to push for key projects like that 16 million
Starting point is 00:34:24 gateway tunnel in the 2nd Avenue subway. He's going to argue that New York's economy is crucial to, the country as a whole, but also to your point, Trump has also threatened to deport him, even though he is a United States citizen, right? And he's also said that he will cut federal funding if he won. So, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:42 so that's why politicians can't be doing all the tough talk, because you know you still got to go through the White House. I just, I don't, I don't get it, man. It's just like Democrats learned nothing during the government shut down. The one thing that they should have learned is you don't and can't negotiate
Starting point is 00:34:57 with this administration. You only end up hurting yourself and your constituents. Because I saw mad people mad that Zoran is going to meet with the president today, but I'm like, clearly y'all don't understand politics then. But this is just politics as usual. He has no choice. Yeah, so we expect to see more headlines
Starting point is 00:35:13 coming from that meeting later on today. And this weekend is expected to be one of the biggest Thanksgiving travel weekends of the year. Nearly 30 million people are expected to fly. So if you are bringing food through TSA, I didn't know
Starting point is 00:35:29 this was a thing, but people are bringing food through TSA, prompting TSA to put out its annual holiday guidance to help you get through security a little faster. So here are a few Thanksgiving dues and don'ts. If you're traveling, they're saying that you do, you can bring your pie. So if you, whatever pie you like, pumpkin, sweet potato pie, they're solid so you can bring those on. Same for like mac and cheese, stuffing and things like that. But don't bring your gravy through security because it counts as a liquid. So does cranberry sauce, both the gelled kind, and the canned kind. They said that you can bring frozen items because it's rock solid.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Frozen foods can go through security, but they must be totally frozen. If they're melting, TSA will treat them like a liquid. And they said that don't fight TSA about what counts as a liquid. Their rule is simple. If you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it, or pour it, it needs to go in your checked bag. They said to be smart about traveling with food. They said that messy bags and lose containers, they do slow down the line. do show up early because Thanksgiving is one of their busiest travel days.
Starting point is 00:36:31 They're expecting record-breaking travel volumes between now and Sunday. So apparently this is an annual list that they do put out because people tend to bring so many different items through the TSA security line that it backs it up. I didn't know that people traveled with pre-made food, but did you guys know this? Did you hear this before? I ain't ever heard about the pre-made food. I ain't a lot. That sounds disgusting. I've seen people travel with like the raw.
Starting point is 00:36:56 though. One time when I was in South Carolina and this was about 2020 maybe 2019, 2020 and I was down there with Madam Vice President Kamala Harris because she had unveiled her mental health plan and she had got some collard greens from South Carolina and she
Starting point is 00:37:12 flew back, she flew through the airport with him and I was there with Jay Moore and Charlemagne the God and I was about to head out of town to meet my family and cook for Thanksgiving but where I was going I knew I was not going to be able to find the kind of greens there that I could get here.
Starting point is 00:37:32 And so, yes, that was me in my suit and heels, walking through Charleston International Airport, carrying two big plastic bags full of fresh South Carolina collard greens. It's a true story. And yes, as I walked on the plane, there were a few people who gave me the look. And the nod. And she asked me, would she look crazy walking through the airport with these. What did you tell her?
Starting point is 00:38:01 No, I might care. No, if you black, you aren't. But you'd be good. Yeah, I wouldn't want cooked food that with traveling. Nah, that's not. That's disgusting. Going through the x-ray machine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Then they got to test it and all that. They don't change their gloves real big. And if you hear that early, if you get there that early, you could get to my house and cook it. Right. But that's the only thing I would say. That's why I bought up that story
Starting point is 00:38:21 because, like, you know, she was going back to where California. So if you're in the South, Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? You're going to get you some fresh greens. They ain't got no fresh greens in California. So stuff like that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:38:31 But don't travel with nothing that we can get right here now. You know what I'm saying? If I can go right up the street to the grocery store to get it, we get it when you get here. You don't got to do all that. Right. That's crazy. Yeah, well, there you have it.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Those are your travel dues and don't. So if you're headed to the airport, save yourself some time and listen to some of those. And that is your front page news.

Starting point is 00:41:01 I never look like that. Somebody hated on me. Can you please change the picture? I'm going to change the picture for you, fams. I promise I'm going to change the picture. We went through months and months and months of please change the picture. Finally, I'm like, Joe, this is getting disrespectful.

Starting point is 00:42:12 Ray J. And Ray J said he won't smoke. Did he say that for him? Listen, man. Can't mess with me if I train, but it's going to take me nine months. What do you think of that, Jay Valentine? Everything begins and ends. We're Rayleigh.
Starting point is 00:42:27 That's a fact. You're saying real? I didn't hear that. Yes. He could beat him in what? Everything. Everything. Ray J.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Singing to? Everything. Outdoor pool. Oh, my God. He said, you can't mess with him if he trained, but it's going to take him nine months. Only nine months. He did specify nine months. But guess what he said?
Starting point is 00:42:44 What? I love you, Tank. He loves it. He don't love nobody else. He'll love nobody else. Ray Jays, my God. He said, it's up for everybody else. He said, I'm going to bid.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Ray J can do no wrong. That's what made the rant so funny because he said it, but then he thought about it, like, but it's going to take me nine months to train. Here's the thing about Ray J's that nobody's really paying attention to. He's smart. He's smart, and he has a diversified portfolio. I get it.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Some people may be able to sing better than him. Some people may be able to. to outperform and whatever but you're not going to beat him in terms of lasting and being in a relevant conversation as long as he's been in it. Period. He's connected
Starting point is 00:43:32 to everything. Everything. From music to acting to making social life. To make him. I said that this morning he's what I call an anchor being in comic books they call it an anchor being. He's an anchor being. To tech. He's in tech.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Raitronics. Raitronics. Those glasses. that didn't break. The glasses? They didn't break. They broke. They broke. But what do you say
Starting point is 00:43:56 after they broke? I don't care. I don't care. It's Ray J. He's smart. If Ray J. stopped, like, doing all the things
Starting point is 00:44:04 he's doing and really focused on his voice, we would hear a better singer of a Ray J. Ray Jister. Yeah, Brany. Ray Jus sister. I love that.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yeah, Ray Jus. Don't hear you. I'm trying to play her in something. Yeah, but that was a conversation when it was him versus Mario.
Starting point is 00:44:20 And people were like, he can't see him on. In the beginning, Ray J was going there. And then I just think that he just, I think he was just happier doing more. Like, to be a singer-singer, like, you really got a hyper-focused on singing. And other things suffer as a result of that. You know what I mean? I can relate, Ray J. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:40 A lot of those guys are good, listen, good singers. Got it. But they're not, they can't out entertain Ray J. That's true They can't They're going to get in the crowd You know Take a shirt off
Starting point is 00:44:55 He's going to round I don't know what he had on At that What's the what's the The one music festival I don't know what was going on Yeah It was a one piece
Starting point is 00:45:03 He took it down But it felt like there was a pamper on the inside I don't know What the He got T-moot He said this The boots We got him team moves
Starting point is 00:45:10 And guess what we were talking about I don't care Who performed well At that one music festival Guess who we was talking about Ray Jay I wanted to ask both of you all a question right y'all are the host of the rnb money
Starting point is 00:45:20 podcast and i was thinking about this with the conversation that mario and cam newton was having is there a proper r&B etiquette should other rnb singers talk about who can and can't sing i believe you can you can say what you feel
Starting point is 00:45:36 that's you know i don't tell nobody what they can say or how they can feel about anyone else and music is subjective you know what i'm saying like and tank will tell you i'm the guy who calls him i'm like have you heard this song And it might be, the whole song might be off key. I'm like, that's jamming, all right?
Starting point is 00:45:53 It's about how music make you feel. If we're going to go back into who's the greatest singers, then we just got to go to church. And we all know outside of Kurt Franklin and the Yolanda Adams, it ain't a whole bunch of money on that side of it. So if we're talking about making money and making popular music, the voice is subjective. and can people really get what they're trying to get out of the song we were talking about
Starting point is 00:46:21 what's the song we were just listening to in the back um if that would have been like a gospel style singer if that had been a gospel style singer wouldn't work it wouldn't have worked Mark Morrison return to Mac no no good singer could have no elevated singer could have sang that it had to be that you know what I mean it's like it's a style When we're talking about in popular music, it's style-wise. So when you have the, okay, who's going to come out here and flatfoot sing for each other, we don't really have it.
Starting point is 00:46:53 So, I mean, you can say it and, oh, this person is better singer and that person is better singer. But then it's like who sells the most records. So if I put a list right now, and I say, tank, who can really sing? You would play that game? I already see where this is going. Yeah, yeah. I don't. I can't.
Starting point is 00:47:11 You know what I'm saying? because my voice means so much more when these guys hear me say something. Like if I didn't matter if we weren't the authority on all things R&B, if I wasn't a guy who's written and produced and
Starting point is 00:47:27 sat down and had conversations with all these guys about music and life and how, you know, this is what you need to do to do this and do that. Like, I'm in a place where I can't even do that. I got to encourage all of them. Because I inspire all
Starting point is 00:47:43 of them. Right. You know what I mean? So I got to tell either, whatever you have, this is how, this is how you frame that. Do that. Put that there. And then put that Sonic by this. And then do, that's the guy I can be. So, you know, when you say, is Mario allowed to do that? Mario can.
Starting point is 00:47:59 He can't. He has every right. I can't. So now let me ask you, when you have a computer that can make that voice perfect, right? I'm talking about the AI young name. How does that make you feel when somebody could type in lyrics into a program, push
Starting point is 00:48:15 enter, and it comes out with this amazing song, with this amazing voice, and this person gets paid. A lot of money. I'm not mad at it. Why? I'm not mad at it. Because I just believe that we are constantly evolving into something, right? If it's, and it's just another form of business. And I'm happy
Starting point is 00:48:31 for a young girl out of Memphis, Mississippi where somewhere out there, where she's from, that was able to make a living off of it. I'm never knocking anybody who figures out a way to make a living. Does that hurt the craft, though? But let's take it back, though. But let's take it back, though, because we've got to go back to the beginning. Because me, I have albums, many albums, many songs with no auto tune.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Now all of a sudden, I'm competing against singers who aren't singers who can't necessarily hold that note that can't necessarily do that run. They're not as technical as I am, but the auto tune is holding them up and helping them. almost sound as good as I sound, technically. We've been fighting against AI for a long time. I say give Millie for nearly back their Grammy. Absolutely. But at that point, you know, give them brothers back they Grammy.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Absolutely. And guess what I say? I don't care what the playing field is. Let's play. Flat out. I don't want to hit tank with Autotune, though. And I think it's a time and place for Autotune. I don't think Autotune works in the bedroom.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I disagree with you. Because all the tune is just, you have heard Tankwood Autosun, you just don't realize. Yeah, it's not just, I don't, I don't, I don't tee pain my AutoTune. Right? But I understand how to use the tool. Okay. And I also think, have you seen Tank perform live? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Yes, so I think once we've seen you perform live. I'm a live performer. Yeah, so it's just we wouldn't even think there would be anything much on your phone. Because I don't need it, right? Yes. But I understand the sonic behind it. I understand why it cuts through and why, what it does on radio and what it does when it comes through your headphone. I understand sonically
Starting point is 00:50:12 what that is. That's just me being an engineer. Rewind the time. Come up, Tray. Give me back in there, Joe. Damn. I get your job back, bro. But I think it's something to being able to grab a microphone anytime, anywhere, and sound just like you do on the record.
Starting point is 00:50:28 And that's why it doesn't matter. It's just another player in the game that we're competing against. And it's enough space for everybody. It's enough space. When you had Whitney Houston, you had, what's, what's, uh, American Idol? Jennifer Hudson? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:50:43 The one that we used to be the Laker dancer. Paul Abdu. Paul Abdu. You always have that. People are acting like this is new where you don't have one end to the other end. You're always going to have that.
Starting point is 00:50:57 But it's still a person. This ain't a person. But it was still assisted. Paul Abdul was in the video with a cat. A cartoon cat. Yeah. It's different. And he was singing his ass.
Starting point is 00:51:08 We keep saying it's different, but it's just today's version of it. Yeah. It's evolution. And you got to understand, we're not going back. So figure out your prompts. You were executive, right?
Starting point is 00:51:20 Yes. Would you have to sign an artist that you got to deal with makeup, hair, managers, security, all that? Or AI person that you ain't got to deal with nothing. You cut a check
Starting point is 00:51:29 and just let the money come in. Well, if you tell me that person you just said, it's Kailani. I'm taking Kailani. It's worth it. Tell me that person is Sizzer. Summer Walker?
Starting point is 00:51:39 I'm taking it. Most people won't invest that money to get to where Cizor is. Don't take that chance. Well, a real executive is going to see that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:48 You're going to see Victoria Monet. They're going to see her drive. They're going to see how hard she goes and you're going to oh, this is going to connect because that's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Now you also have to talk about how an artist feels to people. Yeah. An AR artist, you know, you're just like, okay, that's a video game. You like to play it a little bit,
Starting point is 00:52:07 but are you in love with it like that? You know what I'm saying? So the human aspect still kicks in when it comes to that. Oh, I love this artist. These people love the artist that I just named. Yeah. They love Chris Brown.
Starting point is 00:52:19 They love Mario. They love Ray J. You can't replace that. But I ain't matter if somebody getting their bread in another way. You know me? I'm not, you know, that don't bother me. The labels are going to, they're going to sign AI. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:35 They are. And then they're going to use some of that AI. money to take a chance on humans. How do you patent it? Because you're putting it into a system so yours could sound exactly like hers. Well, they're not going to be able to do that. So that's where it gets tricks. Because the little Bernie thing that almost kind of sound like me and Sam Smith and
Starting point is 00:52:56 somebody else had a baby, the little Bernie, I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about going to see the f***es. You know what I'm saying? Hold up. You heard that yet. Little Barney. You ain't seen the Bernie guy singing R&B. in the rain?
Starting point is 00:53:09 Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, it's going around. Everybody keep tag me on. I'll show it to you. But, I mean, once you start trying to sound like people that already exist, then that's when we start having an issue. And I don't think they're going to allow it. Yeah, and I think that's probably in the works as well.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I mean, I got some homies that's trying to figure out how to copyright all of that and, you know, cultural IP and those type of thing. So as in anything, they got to figure it out. You know what I'm saying? you know, we all old enough to realize Napster and know what we went through during that time and seeing the music business change. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:53:45 And they figured it out. I mean, they figured out another way to rob us again. But then you also figured out a way to give opportunities to people who would have never had them. Yeah. Well, let's stay here for a second. Y'all too have seen damn there
Starting point is 00:53:57 every evolution of the industry for the most part. What's the biggest lie the industry ever sold R&B artists? I don't think that there's a lie that they sold. I think the truth about what happened to us, was never told and I think we've had that conversation in terms of what we ended up having to compete against
Starting point is 00:54:13 as male artists against rappers singing melody and kind of replacing us in the chart space. Like we weren't honest about that conversation. It was like R&B died. No R&B didn't die we're still here but you're just
Starting point is 00:54:30 you're not giving us our spots you're giving our spots. You're letting bad singers sing songs but You're penalizing good singers. We're doing too much. Well, you're singing Jenny Juice on the podcast was pretty wild. Jen and Jones,
Starting point is 00:54:47 laid back. Nobody's paying for that, bro. So you're blaming it on the rappers. No, no, no, no, no. I blame it on economics. It was just math. Right. You know how much it took to make, you know what I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:55:03 a Boy's Two Men album? Woo. You know how much it took to make a Michael Jackson? an album but then when you had that first hit come come out of the basement of the Bronx or in Harlem you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:55:18 for $200 and some chicken and you sold two million of them there's a woo how do we get more of that but I think what him and I figured out early on too was we could make R&B cost effective
Starting point is 00:55:34 and that like we had a conversation with Atlantic Records I don't know 15 years ago. And we were trying to figure out how to make it make sense. And him and I were like, yeah, we got home studios. We can write and produce it ourselves.
Starting point is 00:55:49 If we want to bring in our friends, we can. And we'll set a certain number that we go up to so that when we turn in this album, he makes money week one. Yep. And we went in Atlantic Records and we restructured our deal. And we just like, no, we don't want that up front.
Starting point is 00:56:06 We're trying to make back-in money now. We're trying to make, you know, money that's going to last for our kids for us later on in our lives. So that upfront that you've been selling people on, which, you know, everybody knows. That's the bait. You know what I mean? If I give you a dollar, I gave you a dollar so you owe me. We're saying, you know, we're saying, okay, well, this is what it's going to take for us to make it. And then we proved that the business model worked.
Starting point is 00:56:30 And we saw a lot of other people in R&B start doing the same thing. Because before it was very expensive to make R&B music. You need a studio for a month, two months that, you know, the artist is showing up to two, three days out of that time. We're like, no, no, we're going to do this right. You know, I mean, we're going to cut the fat, and we're going to really do real business. And I think R&B had to figure out how to do real business. And so we just bet on the back end, we just created a different type of business so that we could do, we could do rapper business. Now, you said online that you believe that Usher is a better singing than R. Kelly.
Starting point is 00:57:04 And people got all your ass for it. They did? A little bit. Usher's technically a better vocalist than R. Kelly. Way more tools. I thought you said you can't say that type of stuff, though. Wait, wait, what made you say that?
Starting point is 00:57:17 You just said you? I see you growing up over there, too, you was like. These guys are, these are my actual peers. Got you. These guys are, you know what I'm saying? Arkelly is OG. I got you. This is a different conversation.
Starting point is 00:57:34 It's like Jordan LeBron. It's like Jordan. Jordan, LeBron, Kobe. We're talking about guys at the top of the stratosphere. Like, we're having a different conversation. Kail's going to lay this voicemail.
Starting point is 00:57:44 I know you didn't say he was better than you. I know you didn't say he was better than the cave. Technically. Technically. Okay. Technically. We don't hear. I don't even know what that means.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Technically. Okay, like, say for instance, climax. R. Kelly couldn't have saying climax. Not many people could have said climax. But where Usher went from from false to natural without hearing the transfer
Starting point is 00:58:11 like that type of thing special incredible it's like watching gymnastics everybody lands but some people stick you know what I'm saying come bring it home son when you're singing
Starting point is 00:58:22 everybody don't always stick like if you listen to climax every note that he sings on that record he sticks like it's like period no movement ain't no step back ain't no you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:58:33 so That shit is flawless. So, I mean, but, you know. Hey, Lonnie's folded. Stick. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight.
Starting point is 00:58:53 So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York since the son of Sam, available now.

Starting point is 00:59:20 about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people, horrible ideas, and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a new. for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We've got plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic
Starting point is 00:59:59 great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked. Like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just. like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story.
Starting point is 01:00:38 From plening canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life. The moments it has overlapped with mine, how he redefined American television
Starting point is 01:00:52 and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like hours on screen.

That's part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Hey there, Dr. Jesse Mills here. I'm the director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health, and I want to tell you about my new podcast called The Mailroom. And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't. Because guys usually don't go to the doctor, unless a piece of their faces hanging off, or they've broken a bone. Depends which bone. Well, that's true. Every week, we're breaking down the unique world of men's health,
Starting point is 01:01:42 from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom. You mean sleep? Yeah, something like that, Jordan. We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about. It's going to be fun, whether you're 27, 97, or somewhere in between. Men's health is about more than six packs in supplements. It's about energy, confidence, and connection. We don't just want you to live longer.
Starting point is 01:02:09 We want you to live better. So check out the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. What up, y'all? It's your boy, Kevin on stage. I want to tell you about my new podcast called Not My Best Month, where I talk to artists, athletes, entertainers, creators, friends, people I admire who had massive success about their massive failures. What did they mess up on? What is their heartbreak? And what did they learn from it?
Starting point is 01:02:36 I got judged horribly. The judges were like, you're trash. I don't know how you got on the show. Boo, somebody had tomatoes. I'm kidding. But if they had tomatoes, they would have thrown the tomatoes. Let's be honest. We've all had those moments we'd rather forget.
Starting point is 01:02:51 We bumped our head. We made a mistake. The deal fell through. We're embarrassed. We failed. But this podcast is about that and how we made it through. So when they sat me down, And they were kind of like, we got into the small talk
Starting point is 01:03:04 and they were just like, so what do you got? What? What ideas? And I was like, oh, no. What? Check out not my best moment with me, Kevin on stage, on the Iheart radio app, Apple podcast, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcast. Sticks.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Everything she's singing on there, it just sticks. Which is why you have so many singers trying to emulate it. Right. They're trying to, because now, now certain singers or certain songs are studying, It becomes that. Like, Art Kelly is a product of so many things when it comes to study material. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:41 It was swag. It was content. It was actually him, excuse me, him turning R&B into this rap thing that was like, whoa, what is this? The first R&B thug? Like, what are we looking at? And not that R&B cats ain't been tough, but he framed it in a way to where it's like R&B singing. was like, I got to get a chain?
Starting point is 01:04:07 Add some corn row. And some corn roll. Arkelly made it so you had to get a chance and some Tims. Then he gave you balance with, you know, half on the baby with the silk pajamas on, you know, walking bare for a while a minute so I can do both. So when you talk about Art Kelly, you talk about it so much that goes into that. But when you just break it down to one thing, vocally,
Starting point is 01:04:28 usher's an elite. He's an elite vocalist. From y'all vantage point Where is R&B right now? Are we in a renaissance, a rebuild, or some type of redefinition? We're taking over. Taking over. We're taking over.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Okay. Ain't no read nothing. Yes. We are taking over and we are fully behind it. We are fully behind it and part of it. I mean, he's still putting our music. You know what I mean? He got a great record control.
Starting point is 01:04:53 It's available now. Everywhere. R&B money. Mm-hmm. So y'all are behind the business of the The record, too. Yes. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:04 They're the distributor. We're not playing. You know what I mean? And we got the R&B awards coming. If this man ever drives a fast car. I believe it. We believe it. We're, you know, we're doing the first awards at his backyard in one of his estates.
Starting point is 01:05:19 That's going to happen. The one we're overlooking the award. Yeah. And I love this. But R&B is taking over. We start with Ray J. He is there. Come on now.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Ray J has to be at the Army Awards. It can't last in the verses. I don't understand what's going on. Wait a minute. I didn't say he could not last in the day. I didn't say over Mario in a verse. I didn't say over anybody. I said, let's not act like he can't last any verses.
Starting point is 01:05:44 He's a problem in a versus. He was the problem in the damn verses. Man. Listen, did you notice Ray Jek walked across the stage like 82 times? Yes. For no reason. Bored. Just bored.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Because he can. We can't. Everything begins and ends with rage. You said it. That's right. You said it. It's the truth. R&B is here.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Heavy and to stay. We are killing shit. So many dope R&B artists. Think about the tours that I can right go out. Man, boys to men in new additions. With Tony Braxton. Shout out to the BPC. Listen, we got black promoters out of putting out tour.

Starting point is 01:07:28 Over the years, the R&B. been the ones putting beats on people way more than rappers. Well, I'm just saying when you come to my then, there's no reason. Nobody knew, but Charlotte, man, that's true. Nobody was talking about it because we handled ourselves in a certain way. Hey, man, come back here real quick. Let's get this done.

Starting point is 01:10:06 stopped doing the DEI business and they started doing the business they took the black a lot of the owners of black businesses out of their stores which makes it more difficult so how did you get fired then if they took my water out
Starting point is 01:10:18 so all the water we have now goes to the other mom and pop stores to make sure we can say we're just trying to say he's not I was he didn't catch it though Because that means he's really black. We support all things black. All right.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Say no more. You know what I'm saying? But there you have it. Take. Jay Valentine is the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fat.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Tell her. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes she has details.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Sometimes she has a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. On the breakfast club. Okay, so going back to the Brandi and Monica concert, there were reports last night that Jarlal got into, that he got jumped. So Jiru got on X. You were there, so you didn't see that, though.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Well, first of all, the reports weren't even that it happened at the Brandi and Monica concert. Jarlal cleared it up, and then I found out more information and found out that it happened at the concert. But the reports were that he got jumped outside of a restaurant in New York. But Jaru got on X and cleared it up. He said somebody did try to jump him.
Starting point is 01:11:25 It wasn't at the restaurant that was mentioned, say less. He says he's currently, or a few hours ago, he was chilling, smoking a joint, watching SVP with not a scratch on him with the laughing emoji. So from what I was told, there was a scuffle that went down backstage at the Brande and Monica concert. Jaroo was actually supposed to come out and perform. They would have went crazy for Jouro. That crowd would have went out. Yeah, he was supposed to come out and perform on his way to the stage is where this little scuffle went down. And from what I understand, his camp isn't even really for sure.
Starting point is 01:11:55 what caused a scuffle, like where it came from, but it happened and he didn't perform, but he's okay. People don't like to come outside, like what? Exactly. Who the hell trying to scuffle with grown-ass Jaru? I don't know, and the concert was... It was such a good vibe. I'm so surprised.
Starting point is 01:12:13 You're so gone, come on, and you pop off? At an arm beach. That's crazy. What the hell? Yeah, that's crazy. I am. I don't know. Sitting up in my room comes on and you decide you want to switch on somebody? That's weird. That's what you want to do. That was not that.

Starting point is 01:25:02 I'm good. I just got out to New York City yesterday, and I'm bouncing around the city and talking to everybody about my special coming out this week. It ain't right. It ain't right. On Hulu. On Hulu, yes. Yeah, Jess, uh, just, uh, she was,
Starting point is 01:25:16 She was hilarious, he said that you were a funny comedian. She loves you, but she couldn't be here. She's actually in L.A. She went to Mike Epps' birthday party, so she said to tell you, she said love. Oh, okay. And she also wanted me to say that, why are some of the best comedians from Chicago? She named a bunch of them from Bernie Mac, Little Rell, Hannibal Burris, D. Ray Davis, Airy Spears, Godfrey, Sherry Shepard, Robin Williams.
Starting point is 01:25:36 What makes Chicago? So Chicago, living in Chicago, there's a lot of sarcasm. There's a lot of making fun of one another, but it's in good spirit. So I grew up with, you know, even now you go back to Chicago, I'm getting ripped to shreds. You know, there's a lot of like, oh, were you on the breakfast club? What do you think you're special? There's a lot of that going on in Chicago. So I think you have a tough skin growing up there and sarcasm and making people laugh is just kind of part of the,
Starting point is 01:26:12 way we get through the winner. It is cold as a mrs. You got to have a sense of humor to go through those winters. So, yeah, I mean, I've always been around funny people, funny family. Growing up, just at the dinner table was just fun. We were either laughing or crying. There was no in between. So for me, we always used to kind of laugh to mask anything that was happening that was getting serious.
Starting point is 01:26:41 Even to this day, if I feel somebody's going to cry, I get uncomfortable. And I'm like, okay, we got to get out of this. I do that, too. Yeah, he does. So you don't go to funerals at all, then. I go to funerals, but I tend to... You don't speak at them, I hope. I don't...
Starting point is 01:26:55 I wouldn't mind that, actually. Actually, I would... If I were to speak at a funeral, I would definitely go the humor route. I'm laughing at funerals. Yeah. Just because I'm trying to break up the seriousness of it all. what in the funeral would you be specifically joking about because your style of comedy is so like you take like random regular things
Starting point is 01:27:17 and just like make it a joke like things that I wouldn't even think twice about because it's just naturally what people do okay so the last funeral I went to I was with my sister it was sad but I started looking around the room and I said be nice if there was like a cocktail service here something to like a like a beverage you know you're there you're sad be nice if somebody came up to you and says you need a glass of wine or something
Starting point is 01:27:43 and we just kind of start riffing off like wouldn't it be nice to have like a little food here and just make it a little bit more of a... Like a lounge? Yeah, like a... She would go to all the funerals. If you knew there was going to be good food and some cocktails at a funeral,
Starting point is 01:28:00 wouldn't you be more prone to even attend the damn thing? Yeah, but if you don't be... The repass, but by the repass, I mean, you kind of are at the point where you're hungry, So a lot of the family issues that surround the funeral, people don't care about because they want to eat. Oh, this is after. Yeah, and the actual funeral, though.
Starting point is 01:28:15 I'm talking about the wake with the body in the room. Sometimes you got like three girlfriends that, like, we're trying to figure out who was the one. Like, yes, a lot. What's your funeral you go to? Maybe a lot. Might just be grandma that past. You got, what's going on with you?
Starting point is 01:28:29 No, I do not. You kind of tell you. I don't. I don't. I've just been to a lot of funerals where there's a lot of things in question, question and you in the funeral trying to figure out what's going on okay okay i'm going to like grandmother aunt uncle i was thinking there's not there's not a like there's not anybody really
Starting point is 01:28:46 wondering what's going on outside of uh the person that died oh she's like grandma still a decade ago i was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught the answers were there hidden in plain sight so why did it take so long to catch him.

So is anything off the table with jokes with you? Politics?
Starting point is 01:33:35 I don't do politics. I don't think people want to hear that, especially when they're coming out to a show. You're inundated all day with the right and the left and this, that, and the other thing. I want to give people a departure from that. I don't want to be talking about any politics.
Starting point is 01:33:51 And I've always said whatever my father is doing is a lot funnier than whatever the president is doing. So I kind of stick to my family. Before the president was Trump to him. Trump is hilarious Yeah, I mean, he's a funny Some of the stuff that's coming out of his mouth
Starting point is 01:34:06 Is extremely humorous But I just like leave that to people Who want to talk about politics For me, I just, I talk about my family I talk about I got two kids I'm going to parent-teacher conferences It's, I'm drawn from my own life And I'm not really paying attention to anything else
Starting point is 01:34:21 I also see a lot of exaggerated Like frustration in your comedy So like, do you, could you talk about being fed up About everybody talking about politics so much? I, yeah, I mean, I could go that route. I mean, I am a little fed up with the whole politic talk and people, you know, getting separated by that.
Starting point is 01:34:41 So I just tend to, I don't know, I just, I think what we're all going through on a daily basis, whether it be, you know, two boyfriends or, hey, it's true. It's true. We have one. Okay. For the sake of your children. Relationship problems, parents, you know. I just feel like everybody

Starting point is 01:35:15 That bothers me too And then you can see it and hear it when they talk That's all I'm looking at If you had a visaline on I would be looking at your mouth And how the saliva is in between The teeth and the So I believe Invisaline should be
Starting point is 01:35:31 done at night where nobody could see it while you're sleeping. That's one of my pet peeves right now. Another one of my pet peeves right now is the way people talk these like buzzwords, like I am on a journey. A healing journey.
Starting point is 01:35:48 Yeah, healing, whatever, yeah, put whatever you want in front of journey. You probably hate the word narcissist. Narcissist, not so much. That's not on my hot list of words that I don't like. Gaslighting. What is it? Gaslighting. That's a word that I don't even know really exactly what that means.
Starting point is 01:36:05 I hear it a lot. Another word I don't like is, oh, I'm speaking my truth. I'm sorry. It bothers me. Just these like buzzwords. So, yeah, that's another thing that ain't right. Are you a popular dad at school? Like, does everybody know?
Starting point is 01:36:29 Like, your dad is famous? I'm hearing a little bit of that, but I'm like an older father. I'm 52. I got a six-year-old. So when I go to the school events, I feel like I'm like an antique. You got old man? You only 52? Well, compared to the rest of the dads.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Like, they're in their early 30s. So I'm like almost like a, you know, like, oh, here comes the gray hair. You know, I'm one of the only dads that have gray hair. Okay. So that's where I am. But I feel like I'm bringing a bit of wisdom. to the school. Here we go to the soccer games
Starting point is 01:37:04 and, you know, they're handing out stickers at the end of the game and the score goes backwards once they reach a certain. It was 12-0 and then it went to 9-0 because they don't want to make the kids feel bad. I hate that.
Starting point is 01:37:18 I, you know, I have problems with that. And I'm like, and I'm doing something that might be a little out of the box. I want to get your take here. The breakfast club, if, if you agree. Do you have a son? I got six kids
Starting point is 01:37:32 I got four girls, two boys Oh wow They play soccer They do all the things Wow You got a full house over there You name it Okay and then the sons are
Starting point is 01:37:39 How old At one son He's in college Oh okay And he's a man of the house He thinks he's demanded out He plays football He's not football
Starting point is 01:37:46 He does not slam him around He does not slam me around The mother's son is 11 Okay So I got a six year old What I've been doing recently Is I'm putting Colon
Starting point is 01:37:56 On my six year old When he goes to school And I'm asking him when he comes home, does anybody comment on how good you smell? No, I'm not getting anything. So I had the parent teacher conference this week. And during the conference, I go, have you noticed how good my son smells? What? And they're like, I'm sorry? I go, yeah, you know, I'm putting a little cologne on. I was wondering, you know,
Starting point is 01:38:22 she's like, well, we're not really allowed to comment on kids smells. Like, I'm like, you know, I'm like, you Even if he smells good, I mean, there's kids that smell awful. Growing up in school, there was always that kid that came to school with, you know, whatever, boogers hanging out of his nose or what have you. But I'm like, come on, this kid's coming to school. And, you know, we dress them up nice. We do his hair?
Starting point is 01:38:45 And do you think six years old is a little too young to be wearing cologne? What's the... What do you think? Do I think six years old is... No, I don't think I'm too young to be wearing cologne, but I can also understand why the teachers don't want to comment on it. I mean, ever since Pizza Gate, you can't. It can't be too safe. I mean, I don't know if a six-year-old walks in,
Starting point is 01:39:05 small like John Paul Gutier, you got to comment on it. I don't have a problem with it. I don't have a problem with it. And I would say, not to say that your kid stinks, but some of these younger kids stink now. Like, you go and you can tell that they're not washing good enough. Yeah, well, I mean, they look like they're rolling out of bed right into the school. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:39:25 We kind of take our time with our kid and make sure he looks. Did fatherhood change the way you approach your comments? Because I know you use your family a lot in a lot of you, too. Not really, but I mean, it has, I'm extracting a lot of humor out of being a parent, you know, especially in today's day and age. So, yeah, I mean, I'm always talking about what's going on in my life in my comedy. So if I'm going to a parent-teacher conference, if I'm going to a soccer game with my kids, I'm talking more about my health now, how I seem to be breaking down. I can't do... You're only 52, man.
Starting point is 01:40:02 What you mean break it down? I have detached biceps, which I don't know how that happened. Wait, what is that? My biceps have detached. I'll show you. There's a lot of things going on. We mean 50. How old are you?
Starting point is 01:40:17 47. Okay, another five years. You tell me how good you feel. Now, here. See, there's like a hole in my bicep here. Did you play sports at all or something? No. This is, I woke up in there, and this is,
Starting point is 01:40:31 I woke up out of, he wasn't working out. You thought I was doing bicep curls. No, I woke up and I'm like, do I have a hole in my bicep? So yeah, I don't know how this happened. So, yeah, this is what I'm talking about breaking down. Did you work out, like, growing up? Yeah, I used to, yeah, of course, it was working out like a, I used to work out with no shirt on.
Starting point is 01:40:53 I don't believe you. He's a title of you. I believe it. Yeah, no, I used to work out a lot. But now I can't work out as much as I used to due to the fact that, you know, and I think this travel has killed my body, too. And being so physical on stage, I'm starting to see the effects of just getting a little bit older. That's all.
Starting point is 01:41:15 I mean, I'm not saying, I don't want to say that. Like, I'm like, a grandfather, all right? I'm just saying that I can't. You're talking like a Joe Biden. I just can't do things that I used to do. I played a basketball game the other day Like a pickup basketball game I felt like a hamstring was going to pop
Starting point is 01:41:33 So I mean I you know I can't Isn't there a certain age where like you shouldn't do that I'm being honest This one's telling me I'm not old You're like telling me to go sit out No I'm just saying I think you should still like work out And like be active but like a pickup basketball game
Starting point is 01:41:48 They get a little intense And you didn't like your biceps Yeah well I thought I was going to be available to do that but as I was doing it and it was only half court it's not like we were sprinting up and down the court.
Starting point is 01:42:00 Okay, well half court is better but how did you feel? You can still do that if he's crazy. What's wrong with you? Barack Obama was playing basketball when he was in the White House he was what, 65?
Starting point is 01:42:09 But that's different in the White House it's just him. It's not a random pickup games. Yeah, it's different. It's Barack Obama. She doesn't work out at all. How did you feel?
Starting point is 01:42:18 She can't be seven push-ups. First of all, I did basically seven with Lola. I counted in that video. Y'all had me after, y'all said five. How did you feel? when you were doing it? I didn't feel good. I didn't remember the basket being that high. I couldn't really
Starting point is 01:42:32 get a good a lot of air balls. A lot of air balls. But yeah, I mean, listen, I'm trying to keep in shape and I'm just having some issues with my body right now. Yeah, we talk about up here. We talk about colonoscopies. We talk about everything.

Um, you know, I think a lot of times when it comes to health, people react to their health rather than, you know, go through the preventative measures. So I'm, I'm into testing. I like going in for, not, I don't like going in for tests, but I'd rather know early rather than, you know, my biggest fear is going to the doctor and they're giving me pamphlets and going, uh, you know, you're, uh, you're, you're going to die soon.
