Starting point is 00:03:33 it. He just read the whole thing. How's he feel about it? He loves it, but he won't write his own. He wanted to come from his perspective, you know, because it was a journey between both of us, but this is more so from my perspective, you know what I mean? So he can't wait to that. But at first he was calling that like, yeah, at first he was acting like, oh yeah,

And she got the Vacancy tour starting in April. But I just enjoy talking to Ari because Ari is one of those people that, you know, folks will see online and they might have a perception of her, right?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Because of the things that she posts online or when she goes off on certain individuals or when she shares certain thoughts. Exactly. But when you sit down and have a conversation with it, she's a very pleasant person. That's what I'm saying. So I relate to her.
Starting point is 00:04:37 That's what I'd be saying about me. Like when I go up and I do certain things online. And when you sit down and talk, you're like, oh, damn, like, show you really cool. But you know it's so crazy, Ari always regrets it after she does it. So at some point, at some point, stop doing it. Oh, all right, yo. You go on?

Starting point is 00:05:32 We got front page news. Mimi is here. What you want to start on? It's the last song that came on my playlist when I was driving in this morning. So I was like, you know what? Why not throw it back, okay? Trillville. Oh, never ever.
Starting point is 00:05:43 And then when I pulled up, it was some craziness going on. That's right. I was like, damn. Okay. All right. It feels very appropriate this morning. Let me hear it. Let me hear it.
Starting point is 00:05:49 There we go. Ooh. It's when you used to do cardio in the club for no reason. What? Man, the illest thing about this song, at the end of the song, Lord John says, just run around the mother effing club. And we used to literally just run around the mother effing club. Looking to the club.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yes, look it down. Running into each other. Looking stupid. But I bet it was a time. I bet it was a time. You really want to get into a fist fight with a person who runs around the club. Okay? Why are he on drugs and drinking?
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah, he used to be a mosh pit, Kyle, he'd be just running into each other. That's crazy. It was so stupid. That's great. No, it wasn't. It was amazing. It was stupid. I would never lie to these kids.
Starting point is 00:06:25 It was amazing. And then as a DJ, if you wanted to end the club, and you tie the DJ and you play that or I don't give a F, ends the club, by the way. Our 36 Mafia, you take the club up. Those three records right there. They were fighting. They fight it down.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah, lights on. Everybody go home. On 36 Mafia, I bet you won't hit him, mother. Effer. Hit him, mother. Hatter! Oh, my goodness. Such great times.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I'll do it again right now. You're so stupid. All right, let's get some front page news. Quick Sports, Jason Tatum is expected to make his season debut with the Celtics tonight. Why is he rushing back? I don't get it. Now, this is just 10 months. after tearing his right of Kaley.
Starting point is 00:06:56 So he will be playing tonight. Also, salute to LeBron James. He passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most made field goals in NBA history. Nice. And salute to the South Carolina women's basketball team, man. They start the SEC tournament today at 12 noon against the Kentucky Wildcatch. Yes, good luck to them. In Greenville.
Starting point is 00:07:14 All right. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, M. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So we started this morning with a major shakeup in the Trump administration, Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam, she is out.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Now, President Trump, he is removing her from one of the most powerful jobs in the federal government, the agency responsible for border security, immigration enforcement, and disaster response. Now, Noam, she had been undergrowing scrutiny in recent weeks facing tough questions from lawmakers during congressional hearings and criticism over how parts of the department were being run. Behind the scenes, though, current and former officials say frustration inside the Homeland Security Department have been building for months with complaints about leadership decisions, internal disputes, and the influence of some of Nome's top advisors. But officials say there may have been one moment this week that may have helped seal her fate.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So during the testimony before Congress this week, Nome told lawmakers that President Trump knew and approved a $220 million advertising campaign that encouraged migrants to self-deport. Let's listen to that. Sir, the president tasked me with getting the message out to the country. and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally, that they needed to leave, or we would detain them and remove them, and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. That has been extremely effective.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Ask you to run these advertisements. Is that right? We had that conversation, yes, before I was put in this position and sworn in and confirmed, and since then as well. $220 million in ads? What the hell did those ads run? I missed all of those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I think I saw a few, but like online. I don't think they, I don't know where they played, but I just... That's a lot of money. $220 million in ads. Everybody should have seen that. For that much money, right? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Well, apparently President Trump didn't see him either because he said that he had no idea what she was talking about and that he never signed off on that campaign. And so he says that now he plans to, nominate Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen to take over the Department of Homeland Security. Trump made the announcement on social media. He thanked Christy Knoem for her service, saying she will now move to a new role that's focused on security across America's. Mullen, though, he is a Trump ally. He was elected to the Senate in 2022, and he is also a former MMA fighter. Now, during one of the more tense moments in Washington, he nearly got into a fight
Starting point is 00:09:48 with a person who was there to testify. Let's listen. into some of the moments from that. Quit the Tough Guy Act in these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, any time, cowboy. Damn. Sir, this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth?
Starting point is 00:10:06 We can be to consenting adults. We can finish it here. Okay, that's fine. Perfect. You want to do it now? I'd love to do it right now. Well, stand your butt up then. You stand your butt up.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Oh, hold. Stop it. Is that a solution every poll? You're a United States senator. Act. Okay. Sit down, please. Why did this sound like end scene?
Starting point is 00:10:23 It's not like... Stand your butt up. Right. You stand your butt up. But let's do it. That should have let them go. Like in hockey. Should have let them squabble.
Starting point is 00:10:30 You think they would have really for it? Maybe. I don't know. Senator Bernie Sanders hadn't been there. Who knows what would have happened to that. Yeah, right. How are all those individuals? I'm pretty old.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I would say somewhere mid-age, 40s, 50. Even though, when I used to fight, be an M&M. You old, too. You know, somewhere over there. Mullen, though, he would still need to be confirmed by the Senate. And so we'll continue to, watch that and if he is confirmed he would take over of course for
Starting point is 00:10:55 Christy Gnome her final day on the job is expected to be March 31st I told you all Christy Gnome was going to be the sacrificial land man authoritarian regimes are not loyal to anyone yeah well she didn't get fired they just move them around so they'll never get fired they just move them around into other spots that's it well part of that to me seems like
Starting point is 00:11:13 saving face a little bit absolutely yeah you know and President Donald Trump is warning Americans to prepare for the new realities of war as the conference conflict of in Iran continues to grow. In a new interview with Time magazine, Trump was asked whether people in the United States should be concerned about possible retaliation here at home. And his response was, I guess. Trump said the government plans for that possibility, but acknowledges that when a country goes to war, there are risks and people can die.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Those comments come as a conflict. In Iran escalates following that joint attack with U.S. and Israel, which continues to spread across the region. And meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister, he told NBC yesterday that his country is what is ready for whatever comes next. Let's listen. President Trump has not ruled out boots on the ground in Iran. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country? No, we are waiting for them. You are waiting for the U.S. military to invade the ground troops?
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them. And that would be a big disaster for them. When we were ready for this war, even more than the previous war, and we are prepared for any other eventuality, even, you know, a ground invasion. And we know that we can handle that. Well, he also, yeah, he also refused negotiations with the United States. He said Iran has not asked for a ceasefire. In America, we may already be feeling the impact.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Remember earlier this week we talked about the gas prices going up to about 30 cents. I checked and as of right now, as of yesterday, they've gone up 27 cents since Monday. So I don't know about gas prices, but I know the flights are going up. Like flights going up like crazy. Because the gas goes up. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:13:01 It's just wow. Planes got a gas up. Yeah, like flights, they used to be at least like $400. I was looking for a round trip to Atlanta. That would be like $4 or $500. It's like $1,000 right now. Yeah, flight prices are going up. It's crazy though.
Starting point is 00:13:13 The house is going up. I know a lot of people are seeing high gas bills right now. now. And when it comes to, you know, Trump's talking about the realities of war
Starting point is 00:13:22 and saying that, you know, Iran can strike on U.S. soil. A lot of people feel like Trump wants something to happen on American soil because he's been on
Starting point is 00:13:29 the hunt for some sort of emergency to exploit so he could try to federalize the midterm elections in November. Yeah. A lot going on there. Too much.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Too much. Too much. So we'll continue to watch that. And then the next hour, we're going to talk Jeffrey Epstein and new release of
Starting point is 00:13:44 documents that can came out just yesterday. Yeah. All right. Now, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need to vent phone lines are wide open.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Call us up right now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wait. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed.

Starting point is 00:14:26 Yes, sir. Why do our melanated brothers wait to, wait last minute to get their body right? Why do they wait until they get sick to start working out? I'm almost 40. I'm approaching 40 currently. And I'll be competing in my first bodybuilding show. I was 240 pounds. I'm down 187 pounds now.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Congratulations. I don't want to put that on just melancheted brothers, though, man. I mean, I think that, you know better and you do better, and that's just the human thing. Like, a lot of people grow up in certain environments, and, you know, we don't have the best habits. Like, it ain't just a black thing. But, you know, as you get older,
Starting point is 00:15:05 you learn better habits, so you do better. For sure. And, yeah, I haven't accorded in a while, but y'all know me as big old, especially envy. You know, we work together. But also, if it's okay, I would love to give a shout out to the team at 803 Fitness and Columbia, South Carolina, Coach Justin, the whole team. Metro.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Thank you for making this a reality. Yo, man, stay with it, too, man. That's another thing we do. We work out and then we get lazy or something happens and we don't get back with it. So definitely stay with it, brother. Yeah, and real quick, last question for you guys. I want to know is, as far as the ladies, could you guys date a man that's a bodybuilder, that's discipline? Because it's a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:44 You know, we can't eat certain stuff. You know what I'm saying? We can't go out. The restaurants can't drink. You know, we have to 10-wee and broccoli and chicken breasts all night. Nah, you could go out. You just got to watch what you eat. Like, I've known people that actually took their pre-prepressed meals to restaurants
Starting point is 00:15:59 where everybody's eating. They still had a good time. It'd be crazy. You know, you know, you know. This man asked the lady the question. And every couldn't wait to wait to answer. Oh, I could actually date a body book. I couldn't wait to answer.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Because man literally said, I got a friend to. bodybuilders. And you couldn't wait to answer. None of these questions was for him. That's crazy. Because the first question was for the melanated brothers. And then the second question is for the women. Oh, they stabbing me up big old.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Yeah. But let me answer. Yes. I don't see why a woman would not want to date a bodybuilder who's trying to, you know, get their body right. I mean, those diets are good too. She can learn something from that. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Then I also say, like, when you're eating that stuff or whatever, you know, with a women specifically, I'm like, look, you know, to keep this body, that's what I gotta do. I didn't see my eyes in the last 20 years. It's so good to be able to look down and see everything. As long as you're gonna hurt, you know what I'm saying? You are, she shouldn't pay her.

Starting point is 00:23:02 Either I saw her video, and it made me go look to see what was happening. So apparently there had been a hoax happening for about, like, two weeks now that there's a conversation about whether or not Queen Latifah had like this very rare type of like blood cancer and it was
Starting point is 00:23:17 supposed to be like I saw like fake AI photos of her in a hospital bed holding a sign like this is letting you guys know that I have this cancer and then there were like these prayer lines and prayer streams and hashtags that were going on your algorithm is wild well I actually I didn't see it I went to go find it when Qa Mista posted the video yeah I did see Queen
Starting point is 00:23:35 post the video because I wanted to know like why is she having to post this normally when celebrities do that it's because because outlets are reaching out to them, hey, we saw this, are you okay? That's why, you know, you ever heard that statement of the dog barks at the moon? It's nothing, but if the moon balks back at the dog, 100%.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Because I hadn't even heard none of this until right now. Yes. Well, let's take a listen to the video that Queen Latifah posted yesterday. Good morning. It's me. I'll take it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I can't believe what you read on the internet or see it. I can't believe that. now right good why that sound like that because she had a music playing in the background she was in a car she had music playing in the background
Starting point is 00:24:17 kind of loud but she basically said I got to teach her how to take the music out the back where you can just hear her voice I told you that before we can do that here because we could definitely be able to just hear her voice take the music out okay I watched that video yesterday and I thought she was listening to breakfast club I was like oh shoot let me hear and I listened for that I didn't even hear none of that
Starting point is 00:24:33 about yeah she's talking so low and the music is loud she posted the video and she says in the video hey it's Queen Latifah, I'm A-OK, just showing y'all, I'm A-O-K. And then she's like, you know, dancing a bit to the music. In the second video she posted, she's smiling, and she's like, I'm good, y'all. Like, I guess people were really concerned, and maybe it, because sometimes, like, I've done stories in the past where you see a hoax, you reach out to the team and they leave it alone.
Starting point is 00:24:55 But when their family members start picking up the phone and calling them, they clear it up so that everybody can calm down because it's affecting them, like, on the behind the scenes as well, too. So maybe that was one of the reason she posted as well? So was she sick or was she dealing with something? Because I remember, like, a few months ago, somebody called up. we had a caller during get it off your chest and he was asking like yo what's up with queen like what's up with queen Latifah we need to make sure she okay uh she in a hospital
Starting point is 00:25:17 like I remember I was from Baltimore from DC or something like that and we was confused like what I don't know if any I don't know of any conversation no she was she was just at the all star game but I remember the call so remember that day yeah but when that call her when that happened remember we all were like what and then I think he corrected something and we were like yo why would you like it freaked this out but it was it wasn't real um you weren't here that day It was just us three hosting. I don't know. But it wasn't real, though.
Starting point is 00:25:42 But, yeah, I don't know anything of her being sick whatsoever. I know she's a big health advocate. Like I said, she was just at the all-star game with her child and watching the game. So maybe that was a hope so, but I remember that, Carl. She's fine. And stay off Facebook. Word. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Okay, salute the Queen Latifah. Queen, we're sending you nothing but positive energy. Absolutely. Always. Love you, Queen Latifah. Well, somebody who is not so fine right now and is going through some things. Brittany Spears. So yesterday, Brittany Spears, it was.
Starting point is 00:26:09 the news broke that Britney Spears was arrested in California for a DUI. Police said that they pulled her over after her car was allegedly like swerving and she was driving without a taillight. And when they pulled her over, they alleged that she was under the influence. They took her to a hospital
Starting point is 00:26:25 to do some blood testing to get an accurate number on her blood. Her and Justin Timberlake really soulmates. That's crazy. Shut up. Both DUIs. I thought she was raised when they gave us sobriety test. She started dancing. Well, no, they didn't do the, because, well, they did try to get someone to come to the scene to do all that stuff, but I don't know if it, because it was Britney Spears or just, the blood test is normally a lot, it gives you more accurate details on what is in the system. So they took her right to the hospital. Now, I do have the police audio, page six, dropped the police audio yesterday of when they first pulled her over. And they say that they also found control substances in the car, which is a big issue for Britney Spears, especially because she recently got her that conservatorship a few years ago. Let's take a listen to the police audio.
Starting point is 00:27:17 a Eastbound and Cooner. Okay, attach my police. It's clear on in 2016 and the use convertible out of LA. Yeah, so you hear them talk about how she was swerving to the point where they put a couple cars on her. It wasn't just one police car. When they took her to the hospital, they took her blood alcohol levels. Now, it's reported that the blood alcohol level may have come in at 0.06. And the legal limit is 0.08, but you can still be charged at some limits under that.08.
Starting point is 00:27:51 But that's not confirmed yet. but you know Britney Spears right now could be potentially facing a jail time behind this or rehabilitation and you guys remember back in 2021 when she got out of her conservatorship the big thing was should she or should she not still have
Starting point is 00:28:06 some type of like guard rails on her and after this I think that conversation is definitely going to happen again I talked to Gina Lisa My Tisa My Tina I always get her last name wrong My Tiroz I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:28:20 I can't pronounce it yeah I talked to Ms. Gina Lisa yesterday and Gina Lisa, you guys will remember. Canadian women are looking for more.

Starting point is 00:30:25 We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F-1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a deline. delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:30:59 In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict? A villain. A nurse. named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt the case of Lucy Lettby,
Starting point is 00:31:34 we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was.

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies
Starting point is 00:32:07 in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats. texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life.
Starting point is 00:32:36 And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. She is a conservatorship expert. She was helping Wendy Williams when all of the movement was happening with Wendy Williams,
Starting point is 00:33:05 try to figure out her conservatism issue. And I asked her, you know, do you think Whitney, or Britney Spears should have been let out of her conservatorship? Let's take a listen to Gina. In your line of work, do you think that at this point, with all these instances, instances, Britney Spears should be completely out of a conservatorship. No. And that could be very controversial, right? Only because we kind of see her maybe, quote, unquote, spiraling.
Starting point is 00:33:32 But how many people get pulled over for DUI? Right. It's not uncommon, right? We shouldn't think about restricting her and keeping her in this box just because she had this DUI. But this is a person who obviously is dealing maybe with some mental issues. And I think when we talk about conservatorship and someone who needs help, you don't want to run to the conservative part because I'm sure that conservative has traumatized Brittany. And as we go ahead.
Starting point is 00:34:05 But the point of a conservatorship, right, is to protect the person. Yes, from themselves, basically. As long as it's the right person, you know, with the right group of people, it shouldn't be a problem. But the issue with Brittany was that she had, I feel like there was. too much constraints. Like she didn't have control over whether she could have kids or not, whether she could ever do music again. She was taking a bunch of medicines that she said that she didn't want to take.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Her dad had control. She was like worth $60 million at the time. Her dad, Jamie was in control of the money and she was claiming that things were being done wrong with the money. So I think she did have some claims that I understood why they kind of released her a bit. But I don't think she should have just been let free. And there's been a lot of incidents since she's been out of the conservatorship. But like just a lot of different things.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Dancing the stupid stuff online, yeah. But when you're driving a vehicle and you're intoxicated, allegedly, I guess we could say allegedly, or maybe not, but when you're driving a vehicle like that, yes, you should be watched. You know, like, problems. We used to watch her dance online. I knew she was drunk. I knew it.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Did you? Yes, man. She, I danced just like that when I'm drunk. I dance just like that when I'm drunk. Dude? Absolutely. Just like a white girl? Between a combination of Britney Spitz,
Starting point is 00:35:12 Bobby Smurter and Bobby Brown when I get it. When I'm intoxicated, that ain't only take me much, baby. Oh, Bobby Brown on your head. Bobby Brown. Oh, younger Bobby Brown. That's a lot. Well, at least in my mind.
Starting point is 00:35:21 That's a least in my mind. I take one shot at the killer. The whole world turns out to every little step I take me. You hear me? Well, Brittany has to go to court on May 4th. So there will be more developing here. We'll see what happens. And salute to Gina Lisa.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Gina Lisa, Montaroso. Montaroso. Shout out to her. And go listen to the latest with Lauren LaRosa, the podcast. We did a full conversation about what probably will happen next with Britney Spears after all of this DUI conversation. Okay. That's the latest. Salomey.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yes. It's Friday. Yes, we do the people's donkey. But, you know, we got Mimi Brown's front page news coming up next. But we do the people's donkey.

Starting point is 00:36:02 Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess O'Larious. Salomey and the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to some front-page news. Now, some quick sports. Jason Tatum is expected to make his season debut tonight with the Celtics. Why?
Starting point is 00:36:16 Why? Now, this is just 10 months. after tearing his right. Why are you asking why? Because he told his ACL. Like, I mean, he's supposed to be out for a year at least. At least.
Starting point is 00:36:24 I mean, I know, you know, surgeries and technology and everything is better now, but why rush that? He's rushing. Well,
Starting point is 00:36:29 I guess they know what he's doing. He's been practicing with the team and he likes the state. Their muscles are naturally more tender. Watch your mouth. That's not true. That is right. Cite your sources.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Hey, a, he don't want me too. This guy's kicking. You don't have a high threshold for pain, sir. What are you talking? Why is the ACL so weak, though, that part of the body need to be studied.
Starting point is 00:36:50 The Achilles and the hamstring. Why are they so weak? These kids have been playing since four or five years old on Achilles. You know, your body is just... A lot of amazing things. That's the first thing to get messed up. Also, LeBron James Passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Starting point is 00:37:02 for most made field goals in NBA history. So, salute to LeBron. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, MBEJ, J. How y'allelam? How y'all doing this morning? Good morning. Good morning. So we're following new developments this morning in the case involving Jeffrey Epstein.
Starting point is 00:37:14 So the Justice Department, it has now released three FBI interview memos that had not been made public before. They were missing from that large collection of Epstein documents released earlier this year. You know, Shar, we actually talked about this with Rep. Rokana earlier this week. The newly released memos, they summarized the interviews with a woman who told investigators that Epstein repeatedly abused her when she was a teenager starting at around age 13.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Now, in those later interviews, the woman also accuses Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her for decades, or decades ago, excuse me. According to the FBI summary, she said that Epstein once brought her to a tall building, either in New York or New Jersey, while he introduced her to Trump. And she told investigators that Trump asked others to leave the room and he assaulted her. She said she fought back by biting him before she was removed from the room. She also told agents that she later overheard Trump and Epstein discussing blackmailing people. And she heard him mentioning washing money through casinos. Now, in a third interview, the woman said she told investigators,
Starting point is 00:38:18 that she later received threatening phone calls. And she believes that they may be connected to Epstein or Trump. And she described the incidents where she said that she was nearly run off the road. And in a fourth interview, she told agents she was uncomfortable continuing this line of questioning. And she asked, you know, what was the point of coming forward if statute of limitations had already passed? Now, these documents are known as FBI 302 memos, which summarize what witnesses tell investigators. they do not confirm whether the allegations are true. Lord have mercy.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Man, listen, how compromises our president? Because every time stuff like this leaks, it's because someone wants it out and they leak it to let Trump know we got a lot on you, so do what we say. And I saw Alasair Crook, I think he pronounced his name. He's a former British diplomat. He was speaking on that yesterday.
Starting point is 00:39:06 We got that clip? There's a former Israeli Mossat intelligence officer who now lives in Canada, and we're saying in a television interview just in the last day or so, And he was saying he was warning that if Trump does not bend to Netanyahu's views, he expects there to be more revelations from Epstein in these coming days. He said that like two days ago. Now look. And we have more.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Does that not tell you everything you need to know? Like the only question everybody should be asking is how do we stop this knowing that he's compromised? We have a president that is clearly compromised. So what are we going to do about it? Well, the White House is calling the accusations completely bases. And Trump says that he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing connected to Jeffrey Epstein. What is going to happen this weekend? Because we know whenever something from the Epstein files drops.
Starting point is 00:40:00 He does something crazy. I wouldn't even call it a distraction. He does what he's told to do. So what's going to happen this weekend? Well, let's brace ourselves. But today at the White House, Envy, this is something we've been talking about. Some of the most powerful voices in college sports are going to sit down and talk about one thing, money. So President Trump is hosting what is being called a college sports roundtable bringing together conference commissioners, university leaders, former coaches, big names from sports world.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Tiger Woods is on the list. Adam Silver, Nick Saban is on the list. The conversations, it will center around NIL, which is name, image, and likeness. And that's a system that allows college athletes to get paid for endorse. for sponsorships. Now, the issue has exploded in recent years with star players landing deals worth millions of dollars. But the president has made it clear that he believes that that system is out of control, saying last year he said that he was going to, or he signed an executive order called
Starting point is 00:41:02 saving college sports. And among other things, it banned universities and boosters from paying athletes directly and called for new rules to limit what is known as pay for play deals. The administration officials, they say the concern is that without guardrails, college sports could turn into an arms race where schools pour more and more money into recruiting star players. Let's listen to what Trump had to say on this. I think the NIL is a disaster for sports. It's horrible for the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:41:31 And I think it's actually horrible for the players. And you're losing all of these great sports. They're not college football. Even basketball is being affected. Basketball second. And I know something about it. They will not be able to stop. You're going to have a college president.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I'm telling you, sir, if we give a guard, $7 million, we're going to win the national championship. And they'll give them $7 and they won't win it. And even if they do win it, colleges cannot afford to be paying the kind of salaries that you're hearing about. Yes, they can. If their program is making all that money, right? Because for years, colleges have been making all that goddamn money, right?
Starting point is 00:42:07 And if they're making that money, they should be paying the players. They're selling jersey. They're selling tickets based off the players that are playing. And yes, if they can afford, and the player can get it, yes, they should be able to make money. Now, the betting part, I don't like the betting part on college games. That bothers me. But NIL deals, yes, if they're worth it, they should be able to get it.
Starting point is 00:42:24 They shouldn't just get a free education. Free education is nice, but if they're bringing in millions and hundreds of millions of dollars to those universities a year, those college should be getting those players should be all the top schools can definitely afford to pay their players, y'all. The schools make billions of dollars. Yes. What are we talking about? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:39 For sure. So it's still unclear what could actually come out of today's meetings, but lawmakers on Capitol Hill. They've been debating NIL deals for years, but so far, Congress has not passed a national law to regulate it. So we will continue to watch that. And today in Chicago, thousands of people are expected to gather to honor civil rights icon Jesse Jackson. A public celebration of life will be held at the House of Hope on Chicago's far south side, a massive church that can hold about 10,000 people. Now, several major leaders will be there. Former President Barack Obama, Joe Biden, all expected to speak.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Also in attendance, First Lady Jill Biden, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, among civil rights leaders, clergy, public officials, including Al Sharpton,
Starting point is 00:43:24 Maxine Waters. They will also take part in the celebration of life today. That service will begin at 11 in gospel tributes from artists like B.B. Wynens and Marvin Sapp. And there will be a private
Starting point is 00:43:36 homegoing service for the Jackson family that will be held tomorrow. Rest and peace, Reverend Jesse Jackson. Absolutely. And really quickly, before we go, heads up for your sleep schedule this weekend. Daylight saving time is Sunday. So the clocks will spring forward at 2 a.m.
Starting point is 00:43:54 So yes, we will lose an hour of sleep, but we will gain an extra hour of sunshine. All right. Thank you, Mimi. I know your dark ass don't want no sunshine. Don't know what no sunshine. Shut up. I just don't want to lose an hour of sleep. What?
Starting point is 00:44:10 That's crazy. You're a clown, y'all. Jesus, all right. When we come back, Ari Lennox will be joining us. Our album Vacancy is out right now. We're going to be kicking it with Ari when we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 00:44:47 Okay. It can mean emptiness. Yeah. It can mean opportunity. What exactly became vacant in your life that allowed this version of R&L Linux to exist and create this project? I think it's just the repetitiveness of my dating life. Yeah, the album encompasses a void that needs to be filled and that can be romantic. It can be platonic.
Starting point is 00:45:10 It can mean, you know. know, in a business way. It's just a metaphor for whatever that means to you, you know. Is it platonic? We got to, let's figure this out for once in a while. It can be. That's why it's why it's platonic. That's why it's my whole life.
Starting point is 00:45:25 But I do it biopic, biopic. You say a bike, and it's supposed to be biopic. Tomato tomato. You can't like Camby having us out here saying the wrong word. Wait, well, how is it supposed to be? Plotonic. Plotonic. Plotonic.

Starting point is 00:46:00 But it's a good journey Thank you yes So where are you in real life After this album In the dating world Like what I mean I'm just
Starting point is 00:46:09 alone. But it is. It is 34 years of like romantic loneliness. But it's cool. No, it's all right. I'm doing great. I'd rather be by myself than in anything toxic or unhealthy.
Starting point is 00:46:26 So it is what it is. You know, I'm okay. I say you had a club turning up though. I do turn up sometimes. With your tea? With your tea? Oh, my tea? On house guest you said you'd be wanting your camera mail in the club.
Starting point is 00:46:37 And right here I have this hot water. I don't know if you had no damn tea in the club that night, but he'd be turning up. When? Oh, when you saw me? Years ago? Yeah, yeah. Years ago? Last year?
Starting point is 00:46:49 Last year? Last year? It was recent. Oh, yeah, I had my hookah. Yeah. I stopped. I had to stop, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I made a pack to the man. No, it's okay. We took a picture. It's okay. I mean, last year I wasn't singing, but this year I am. So we got a tour coming up. You know, the vacancy tour starts April 12th. So, yeah, I want to be vocally prepared.
Starting point is 00:47:09 for it. So no more hookah for me. But you're still on your sobriety journey, right? Drinking wise. But you said you made a pack with a man. That's what made you stop the hookah? Yes. What happened to that man? You said he was horrible. He was trifling. He had a secret girlfriend. Or he had a girlfriend. I guess I was the secret. And I had no idea. And I haven't spoke to him since once he told me.
Starting point is 00:47:31 So you never liked the escape song. You're my little secret. You couldn't be a secret. I do love that song. I love Escape. So, yeah. I could not be a secret. But I do love that song. They were singing. Why somebody want to keep you a secret? I didn't know who the main girl. I think it just speaks to the state of dating out here. It's just incredibly depressing.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I feel like for everybody, you know? So, it is what it is. Are there songs on this project about him? I know that you've been working on this for some time. From, about him? Hell no. Okay, because Under the Moon talks about somebody that could be a big toxic. Yeah, that was someone else.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Oh. That was one of my exes. And I don't even know if he counts. as an ex it was like a month long relationship it counts so it counts really well well it depends all right now do you feel that you had a connection oh my god Jesus like are you thank you thank you fresh face thank you and your hair thank you don't look confused don't do that why are you hating on her i didn't say anything no he was just looking at me like he was kind of confused yeah thank you so much no that that depends right did you have a strong connection with him do you
Starting point is 00:48:39 like you loved him because a month can be short to some people but that could mean a long time it's not about the time it's about how you connected with him how he made you feel yeah no I don't feel like I loved him I don't think it was because I think in order to love someone
Starting point is 00:48:55 you have to accept them for all that they are and I feel like we did not accept each other for our truest selves and for that reason I don't believe it was love at all probably just infatuation which I said it's just that repetitive thing I think there were a lot of secure energies that entered my life that I wasn't ready for.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And now they're getting married, all these secure people that I like, I didn't under, I didn't recognize that safety like in them then. I think because there's so much chaos inside of me. But I'm working through it. I have my therapist. And I'm a lot more aware of it now. Those red flags and things of that nature. Do you love fast? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:49:37 I was saying, do you love fast? Do you like trust fast when it comes to dating? I do. I do. But I don't think it's love. I think it's like trauma or something. I think, um, or a kink. Some type of like love kink.
Starting point is 00:49:50 I think I have that because I, I'll be quick to be like, oh yeah, I love you. But it's like we're, so it's like, like, of course I do right now. It's nice. The sex is really nice. And sometimes that can be just a little misleading, a little confusing. The emotions are high. And I think just in general, my emotions run. extremely high, so I tend to romanticize and exaggerate things.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Why can't you just love sex? Like if somebody flips you and folds you and puts you in a pressure. Child, that song is a song. I love it. Thank you. Why can't you just love the physical act? Like, why does it have to be anything else? Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I can love it, but I think a part of sex for me is a very passionate thing. And it's just ironic because a lot of times it isn't, or it hasn't been in my past, very, passionate and like, yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah, all my relationships were kind of just surfaced for real. Yeah. Do you want to be in love clearly, right? I do.
Starting point is 00:50:49 I do. Do you think you've ever been? No, no. I thought so, but no, I don't think I have. Now that I know what it means to be. Because it's a choice every day. I don't think I ever made that choice every day in those relationships. You're in therapy, right?
Starting point is 00:51:06 I go to therapy a lot as well. And your therapist will often tell you that your first last and best love is self-love. Like you can't love anybody else until you truly love yourself. Do you think that has been part of the reason? Absolutely. My therapist is amazing. She has me doing these exercises every morning where I have to look at myself in the mirror. And that's like so hard.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Like I'm speaking to myself and I like, who am I? And so it's been helpful, but it's definitely been an exercise that I avoid. I think it's just, it's hard, honestly, to face myself, but I'm getting closer. And it's amazing how long therapy has happened. She's been telling me that I need to read this book called The Courage to Trust, and I've been avoiding it. And it's just I know I could be so much farther in my journey. It's funny that I'm just prolonging healing in that way.
Starting point is 00:52:00 But, yeah, one day I'll read it. One day I'll be able to breeze through that mirror exercise. But yeah, so those are ways that I'm like practicing self-love slowly, facing myself and learning who I am. I feel like you learned something new about yourself and every relationship that you are in. Yes, yes. My last one definitely taught me to figure out what the hell is going on inside of me.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Like, I realized, oh, okay, I have an anxious attachment style. And then I realized, oh, I'm also avoidant. Like, this has been this battle that I've, I've been facing and I think until I heal that more, I don't think I'll be able to dig deeper in a relationship. I think that's always going to be that block. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:49 That's so interesting me because when I listen to your music, I hear a self-awareness. Right. Same. I do. You know what I mean? At least that you're comfortable with what it is that you're doing. You know what I mean? And who you're doing it with.
Starting point is 00:53:01 That's what I get from it. Yes. Well, what you mean? Like, and so you're confused? about me having trust issues, are you saying? Yeah, because I feel like you've got to trust yourself enough to even be as bold as you are in music. To be able to even move like that.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah. Well, that's easy. The music that you make, it resonates with women like navigating self-worth and growth and love. So it is kind of hard to hear you sit here and say like the opposite. Like, it's hard for you to find love or, you know, something like that or just everything that you feel like you said is inside of you I don't feel that in your music
Starting point is 00:53:39 I feel like oh you got it all together this girl is you make me want to tell her fuck you know what I'm saying because you know your word if you know what you want and you know what you will stand for and what you want in a relationship that's what I get from your music that's what I that's me too
Starting point is 00:53:55 I know my word and when it's time to go I'm definitely you know I block and you know and delete that thread and cut people off but but yeah I mean yeah I'm doing all right and your press release for
Starting point is 00:54:10 a vacancy one of the lines I wrote down was our new album vacancy signals a sophisticated new chapter defined by creative autonomy confidence and growth and I feel like Shay Butter Baby was that I felt like like all of the projects are that so in this process took you three it was three years
Starting point is 00:54:27 before vacancy years yeah and I I didn't feel like it was done so I'm sure I stressed out the label my man And you meant shout out to Jaha and Justin. I know I stressed them out, but I knew the album wasn't done. And thank God, everyone dragged me for, like, my singles. It kind of encouraged me to let me get back to the studio,
Starting point is 00:54:49 make some more soul music, make some more pop-leaning music. And just, yeah. And then I knew I felt relief. I knew it was time. Okay, it's done. And I'm really proud. It's a good album. It's a great album.
Starting point is 00:55:01 And it does feel like a reset, you know, musically and personally. So did leaving Dreamville create that freedom? Or were you already evolving and just needed space to show it? Let me see. No, I feel like that's the beauty about Dreamville. They've always created that atmosphere of just like follow your heart, do what you want to do. And so it's always been beautiful.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Like I've always had that creative freedom. And then Interscope is really amazing with supporting me. that too. Like, they've never pushed me to do anything that I didn't want to do. Same thing with Dreamville. So it's always been, like, beautiful, really healthy, you know? When did you know it was time to leave Dreamville? We've heard you complain for years and how you wanted to be independent and what you
Starting point is 00:55:51 wanted to do on yourself. When did you know it was the right time? I think, you know, it's just a feeling. I think after when my song Smoke dropped, it just felt like we weren't aligned. and it's not their fault. I don't know what happened. I think perhaps they didn't know, like, the date of it or something. And I think as it dropped, it was just I could feel like there was no marketing behind it.
Starting point is 00:56:16 And I mean... That wasn't a feeling. You were right. I vocally said that. I never felt like they supported you. Oh, I do feel like they supported me overall. Like, I don't believe that I would have gotten this far without them. J. Cole was the greatest co-sign I could have ever had.
Starting point is 00:56:33 as a neo soul artist, people sleep on our genre so incredibly. So he changed my life and introduced me to people that probably might not have received me the same if they heard me outside of, you know, his camp. So the marketing overall, I like, is incredible. But honestly, I think they were in the middle of a deal separating Dreamville from Interscope. And I think that's what I was feeling at the time. And that's why they were unable to really. hone in on what's going on. I think over the years also,
Starting point is 00:57:06 I have to take accountability with a lot of just my little things on the internet with just speaking up about different things. I think probably created some tension for sure. When you speak out about the label?
Starting point is 00:57:22 No, not even the label. Just like just the little things like... Well, somebody over there's a Martin fan and they didn't like your opinion. No, not even Martin. I don't even think they cared. So, Ron.
Starting point is 00:57:33 time that smoke dropped, you had posted online that you were exhausted by Dreamville, that you were tired of people treating you like you were to face of mental health, you're okay, you're happy, but they're not marketing you well, they're not protecting you. You wish labels knew how to do that. I felt that way about Interscope, too. It wasn't just all Dreamville. And Interscope has really, they've really shown me a lot of love and support and things of that nature. And I think it just was a really emotional time for me. And I think I was a I regret it honestly I feel like I should have never taken it to the internet internet But like you know
Starting point is 00:58:11 I'm I do want to apologize to Jay Cole I've been I sent him a message on Instagram I sent him a voice note I'm a little afraid to give him a call But I do apologize Yeah Yeah I do
Starting point is 00:58:24 I love that Jay Cole got something that none of those exes got Oh you know Well they don't deserve apology But it was never cold Cole was never the issue I think it just was literally like a marketing thing
Starting point is 00:58:36 but it is what it is See for me I'm sure you know so you're right So I guess just on the outside looking in You're like well damn cold Why don't you stand next to somebody like that More often? Well regarding you as an artist
Starting point is 00:58:47 Because that can help with marketing a lot He this man Um Flew all the way to London for me I was performing I mean it was beautiful time I'm sold out two nights. I forgot the venue, but it was beautiful and it was massive.
Starting point is 00:59:03 This man surprised me as I'm performing Shea Butter Baby, and I cried like a baby. I sounded like a walrus. I could not get the words out because I was so shocked. Like, that's how loving and selfless he is. So Cole himself, like, I will always care and respect him. Because London across the pond. For little old me is like what, you know? He just liked to ride bikes and stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Yeah. Well, he didn't ride his bike that ball. But did he fly. Spirit, you know he humble. Oh, my God, no. I don't think spirit goes there, Jess. How did it go to? I was the call like?
Starting point is 00:59:45 How did you call him and tell him you wanted to be released? Do you remember that call? Did you speak to him directly? I sadly, with my avoided nature, I sent him a voice note about it. And it's sad. I should have called him. You should have called. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Actually, probably should have had a face-to-face. We should have. Did he respond? I was. I wasn't ready to face like. I-Hart Radio is throwing it back. To the days of huge hits and unforgettable albums. A non-stop stream of the biggest and best.

A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy Lettby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong.

And then I don't believe, I was just scared about like, there's a lot of things that I wish I just talked to them about before taking it to the internet. So I really feel like those things created that tension. Did he respond? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:01 Did he respond? He did respond. He did respond. And you still didn't call. Come on. Right. But that's why I apologize. If you want to share, when he responded, what did he say?
Starting point is 01:05:12 Because he's normally very like warm and comforting when he talks about you. Yeah. He said he wished I called him. So, yeah. Do you feel like an artist's personality is just as important as their talent? Ah. I do And I feel like it can be damaging
Starting point is 01:05:28 If you're too honest Too open Too opinionated Yeah there are things I wish I never opened up about Online But you know You get one life and I hate to regret Anything at 80 like I should have said this
Starting point is 01:05:43 Should have did this Should have this person Should have I didn't always come back to No because Vacancy my album is sexy as hell Is he's a matter of It's not.
Starting point is 01:05:56 And good sex, bad sex is all the part of that. Yeah. We're mad at you. We're manifesting. Because I ain't having sex. It's been three years. Oh, so you're celebrating too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:07 So you're on a sobriety journey, you celebrate that as well. Good. Yeah. Well, actually, I didn't have a, I shouldn't have said. I didn't want to lie. Well, it was almost three years. Okay. Well, no, it was three years.
Starting point is 01:06:19 It could have been longer, but yeah. Oh, you're a liar. No, I'm not a liar. That's why I have to. That's why I have a lot. I don't want my mom to know. Oh, shit. Damn.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Yeah, it was just a little moment. So I won't ask you no more questions about it. Actually, it was all right. Huh? She said she won't ask you no more questions about it. No, you're kidding. You can. Okay, great.
Starting point is 01:06:39 So what, like, because when people say that they've been celibate for like three years, five years, I'm like, how do you not run into like instances of just like the feeling of like wanting to masturbate at all? Oh, no, I do that every night. You can masturbate. But she's not about penetration. Yeah, but I thought, but because there are certain levels of celibacy. Like, I know people who are celibate to the point where they're not even trying to do. No, I could never go that long without doing that.
Starting point is 01:07:05 And I feel like my whole down there would completely change. Like, it would completely collapse. Like, if I didn't make sure she was good. So what was the running you had that almost like messed it all up or kind of set you back? You said it was. Oh, I don't think it set me back. I feel like I needed to get that energy off me. I feel like I was really becoming decrepit a bit.
Starting point is 01:07:24 And like, and just, I just was too, I just felt in my energy, my energy was exuding prudeness. And honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. And I feel like celibacy is a beautiful thing. But me personally, I just needed a nice restart. And so, yeah, now we back. So, yeah. So what's the clock at now? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:07:49 In general life? Once you reset. Oh. Mama's watching. and your mom is watching. Why do you want to know? Exactly. You're going to go.
Starting point is 01:07:58 That's your age. I don't know. You don't have to answer that. I'm just, well, clearly I did it. Now, listen, every time that we've had conversations,
Starting point is 01:08:08 you know, on this air, I'm like, yo, she's such a nice person. Like, she got such a dope personality, right? But if you just see what you do online, you think, all she does is complain.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Like, we can't even watch Martin without her complaining. No, please watch Martin. You can watch Martin. Yes. He absolutely can. No, I can't. Break down the Martin thing, because people were upset about it. You know Martin responded to that.
Starting point is 01:08:30 I know. And it meant the world to me because he was so gentle in his response. And, oh, I didn't expect that. I actually cried. Because she no Arnold responded too. She did. She did respond. Oh, you cried when Martin responded?
Starting point is 01:08:47 I did cry. Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, he didn't have to respond so beautifully the way that he did. and I didn't feel it was invalidating, you know what I'm saying? But he was also, you know, true to himself. And I respect that completely. As a big fan of him, it meant the world to me.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Because he's a legendary comedian. He could have dragged me to hell. So along with the world. From down the street from us. Exactly. It was heartbreaking. It was a heavy time for me because I felt like I isolated myself from every black person in the world. So, like, I was ruminating heavy, but luckily the album,
Starting point is 01:09:23 like pulled me out of the dumps and therapy and things of that nature yeah did you talk to your therapist about it? Oh yeah is she culturally competent enough to understand Martin? Oh yeah I'm sure she loves it yeah yeah do you have a black therapist

Starting point is 01:11:57 The largest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. In the clip, man. Uh-uh. A little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Talk to you by Tom Dogg Law on the breakfast club. Talk to me.
Starting point is 01:12:09 All right, guys. So, Terrence Howard is making headlines again around Iron Man. So you guys remember a few months ago, it was some time ago now. We talked about this because he had, Tarant Howard sat down with Joe Rogan. And he had talked about how he felt like. Robert Downey Jr. didn't help him when he was losing out on Iron Man 2. He said he called him 27 times
Starting point is 01:12:31 and it was like money issues and it feels like he was pushed out of the franchise. But now he sat down on a PBD podcast and he talked about his potential temper being a reason why he feels like he lost out on Iron Man as well. Let's take a listen. I'm doing the brave one and we're at the Venice Film Festival and some reporter out of nowhere
Starting point is 01:12:52 gas lights me. It's like, why isn't your name above the titles with Jody? So I started making calls. And then Joe Silver came and had a conversation with me. It's like, the reason your name isn't above the titles is because you're not the star of this thing. It's Jody. And if you win, if you get nominated for an Oscar, it's going to be for supporting actor. It's not going to be for best actor. And I was like, okay, thank you for telling me that. Now I understand. But you have to remember, I'm a man just like you. And if you ever talk to me in that way again, I'm a your teeth out your mouth. You said that. This is what I said. And then I have to fly back on the private
Starting point is 01:13:26 flight with him. And Susan Downey is his producing partner on that. And then maybe eight months later, I lose Iron Man. Now, this is being reported, you know, as like, you know, his temper, his anger. This is the reason why he lost out. And he talks about Denzel Washington having a conversation with him
Starting point is 01:13:44 about some of the things that he was losing out on. But that listing on the call sheet and supporting actor versus best actor, when you having a conversation with black male leads that's going to trigger him not that I'm saying that he was right but it's going to trigger him because that's always been a conversation about supporting versus just best male when it comes to black female and male actors yeah but let's take a listen because he talks about how he got some advice from Denzel Washington on some of the issues he was having when it came to losing out on roles I had a meeting with Denzel once and he told me he was like look at your hands man you're always like this you're all bald up he said and all these producers want to do is they trying to open your hand and so so they can put money in it, but you won't do it. You keep your hands off tight like this,
Starting point is 01:14:27 and you're blowing it. And this is 20 years ago. Yeah, so, I mean, there's always been a conversation. I mean, because Tarrant Tower has done some big things, but I've had heard conversations where people feel like there should have been more Taryn Tower everywhere, and now people are pointing to this, like, okay, here's the reason why. I haven't heard the whole conversation.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Is he having this conversation because he wants to have, he's having accountability? Or, like, what is it? I feel like it was accountability. Like, when I was watching it, I felt like there was accountability. I feel like he was providing more insight because the Iron Man two conversation It goes with him everywhere
Starting point is 01:14:56 But he's just talking about his life and some of the things he's experienced And they're saying he didn't get two because he threatened the producer right? That's what they're saying? Yeah, he told him that he's going because of him But that wasn't the producer of Iron Man That was the producer of the brave one Joe Silver Joe Silver Yeah, but he brings it
Starting point is 01:15:13 But he mentions Robert Downey's Robert Downey Jr's wife again Who did work on Iron Man I believe her name is Oh, she said, he said they were a production part. Yeah, so they were all together somewhere. And then he had a conversation with that man and told him, if, you know, if you ever say this to me again, he did threaten. But just because Joel told him that you're not the star of the film?
Starting point is 01:15:35 Yeah, like you're threatened to knock his teeth on his phone. All I'm saying is that, you know, I think, you know, there's a slippery slope of him. I think he felt like he was being, like, played with a little bit. Yeah, tried a little bit. And he, obviously, he must have been already feeling away about whatever was happening in the Iron Man University. because remember he was trying to say a while ago that he feels like he helped Robert Downey Jr. And then when he was asking for the same money
Starting point is 01:15:56 or at least close to the same money, he got pushed out of the franchise. And then they brought John Chilohy. But this wasn't about Iron Man, this was about the movie A Brave One that they would promote. I'm not for sure. It could have been a guy's tone. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:16:08 This is my first time ever hearing it. Not for sure. But there were other parts in a conversation that I thought were really good as well too. So you guys remember... It's pretty long, but it's a good one. You guys remember when the Beyonce did the Cater to You moment
Starting point is 01:16:22 and he was on stage. So he reveals in this interview that him and Beyonce used to date and he thinks that that's why she brought him on stage. Let's take a listen. I had a chance to date Beyonce early on and we had a conversation and I ended up talking to
Starting point is 01:16:38 the other girl inside of, you know, Destiny, the girl with the blue eyes and I remember Beyonce looking over at me and I think that's why she picked me to do that dance when she did this you know, they're kind of stripped tease dance that we did a B, T's or whatever, to show me what I had lost. What I, but I had, I was attracted.
Starting point is 01:16:57 There was a moment in which I felt something there. With Beyonce. Yeah, but that was long before she was with Jay-Z. That was very, very long ago. Who had blue eyes?

So the last thing as a parent you want to hear is, don't let your child go to the military right now.
Starting point is 01:24:43 The first thing I want to hear, because he's going to do what he's going to do. He's a part young man. He's going into medical bills. I'm happy with that. But it's scary. 100%. And this man is not in extent. 100%.
Starting point is 01:24:55 And then the fact that you know you're going to fight for a war that you really don't even know what you're fighting for. You know what I mean? Exactly. We know what he's fighting for. You're fighting for the land that they want over there. So he can keep on building what he wants to fill. That's what's reality. Well, listen, we're praying for your son, man.
Starting point is 01:25:13 that him or any other troops don't need to be deployed. I don't want to see none of our boots on the ground over there, but we're definitely praying for him and all the troops. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you. I love you guys. We love you,

Dave and brought HR in there. trying to bring the morale up and see why the morale was so down because of the surveys. And she wasn't listening to the listening. And after, you know, so many months, they ended up firing her about a week ago
Starting point is 01:25:53 because we had a low score in our company for morale. What's her name? She tried to tell her. Her name was Annette, man. That's all I'm going to give up. Annette. So Annette got fired because she wasn't listening to her team, basically. Basically, yeah, her whole team.
Starting point is 01:26:11 and, you know, it's a good company, and we do good things, but she just was running a trade, and she was working as long hours, and we just letting her know that that's my food, even on the weekend. And after, you know, about two or three surveys, and store these down, it was like, yeah, you got to get a pot of here.
Starting point is 01:26:30 The most important thing that you can do when you're in a leadership position in a company is listen to your team. Like, you can never, you know, you know, feel so high up or feel so disconnected from your team that all you listen to is the suits because the suits going to steer you wrong every single time. The people on the ground that are
Starting point is 01:26:47 actually doing the work can tell you exactly what you need to be doing to keep the ship afloat. Absolutely. I'm pretty much, man. That's pretty much laughing. She wasn't listening enough and the numbers were doing good, but she wasn't listening to her team at all. Damn. Well, sorry to hear that, Annette.
Starting point is 01:27:03 Hope you're doing okay. Out there, you know. Thank you for calling, brother. All right, listen, that was the people's donkey. We do that every Friday, 1-800-5-8-5-1.

Starting point is 01:27:23 All my goodness. All right then. When we come back, WWE wrestler. I bet you're full right now. It is full. WWE wrestler, Trick Williams will be joining us. We're going to kick it with him next. Don't move.
Starting point is 01:27:34 It's the breakfast club with morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen the guy. We are the breakfast club. on the roses here as well. We got a special guest in the building
Starting point is 01:27:43 from the WWE. Trick Williams, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. What's going on, everybody. How are you doing? I'm doing good, man.
Starting point is 01:27:50 Bless the year. Former South Carolina Game, Coguarie receiver. Yes, sir. Shout to the crib, man. Former from the Hapton University, sir. I ain't know about the Hampton thing. That's true. It is.
Starting point is 01:27:59 It is. Wow. I went to Hampton in my first two years. I transferred. Okay. Back to the crib. That's interesting. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 01:28:05 So you know, Hampton. You know, he went to Hampton. Absolutely. I'm from Saucanline. Of course, mine's corner. You already know. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 01:28:11 Yes, sir. You have to stop past Baltimore? Nah, man. No, I never been. But I did. I got some seafood. Hey. I got some seafood.
Starting point is 01:28:18 I know you ain't been to Delaware. So how did you get in a wrestler, man? How did this wrestling thing come about? You started with football. So how'd you get in the wrestling? Right, man. It was an accident. So like you said, I started at Hampton University,
Starting point is 01:28:28 transferred to South Carolina. They had a brief stint with the Philadelphia Eagles where I went to camp. Then, long story short, I got cut from the Philadelphia Eagles and China. figure out what was next for my life. I had an agent who actually got me
Starting point is 01:28:41 trying to give me some more trials and everything, then got me hooked up with the XFL. I think it was just a blessing because I never played for the XFL. As soon as they sent my information there, WWE reached out to me. They said, are you interested in coming in for a tryout? Oh, so they reached out to you.
Starting point is 01:28:56 So did you have wrestling background or did you ever do anything with wrestling? Never wrestled in my life. I was a fan. You know, at three years old, I opened a can of Whopass, watching Stone Cold Steve Austin. I was always a fan.
Starting point is 01:29:08 I watched it, but I never thought about actually wrestling. Like, just didn't know it was an opportunity. So then you had to learn how to wrestle, right? Because it's not just one of the thing. You can just go slap somebody and just open up a can of whoop ass. So when they reached out to you, was it a training process? It was a program. Break down what happened, what got you into your first bout?
Starting point is 01:29:26 Exactly. They brought me to Orlando. I tried out. And they said, yo, you got charisma. You got a good look and everything. How do you try out if you never wrestle before? I mean, that's a good question, DJ. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 01:29:35 So for 20 years, I played football, where if you get at football, you stay on your feet. Very physical sport. A very physical sport. My first day becoming a WWE superstar, you learn how to fall, bump, cartwheel, flip, all this other stuff. So it wasn't natural to me. Like, I wasn't a gymnast. I'm still not gymnast. So they didn't sign me.
Starting point is 01:29:54 So I had to move to Philadelphia. Back to Philadelphia. I stayed with my uncle. And I train, I wrestled, COVID broke out. I stayed on the independent scene. You know, you can think about something similar to comedy or something. like that. You know, before you make it big and, you know, you got your own shows and you're on
Starting point is 01:30:10 wilding out and stuff like that. You know, you're on the Indies. You make a name for yourself. So I had to do that first. Do you feel pressure to represent, like, black culture and wrestling? Or do you just show up and be yourself and let everything play out? Yeah, man, I can't be anything else. Damn black, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:30:27 I can't change my skin. You know what I mean? I'm raised how I was raised. And I feel like the better I do in this field, the better it is for, you know, people who look like me, period. But, you know, this is who I am. I can't change it. How difficult was it to learn wrestling and into falling and whatever wrestling is?
Starting point is 01:30:45 How difficult was that? It takes years. It takes years because, you know, playing football is about getting the job done. Catching the touchdown, making the tackle, et cetera. Wrestling is everything. You know what I mean? We grab microphones. We talk trash.
Starting point is 01:31:00 You know, we got to look good. We got to know our camera angles. We got to feed to the cameras. We got to do this. We got to do that. You got to be the ultimate showman to be good at the craft. And a lot of people think that it's fake. You know, obviously, whatever, but like it's real.
Starting point is 01:31:13 Like, y'all really getting hurt. Yeah, yeah. I mean, my neck hurt right now. But, you know, the way I got pitches like this, okay, yes, there's a script attached to it. You know, it's predetermined. But, you know, y'all got scripts right now in front of your computer screen. If I had football. Questions, not scripts.
Starting point is 01:31:27 You know, but we do, you know, we prepare. You know, if it's football, you got, you know, a playbook. Basketball, you got plays. The beauty is not in the script. It's in the execution. And Trey Williams is the best executor. So that's why. I'm glad you said that.
Starting point is 01:31:43 I always wonder, what's the psychology behind getting 10,000 people to change your name? Because it might be a little scripted, but the crowd reaction got to be real. Right, right, right. And that's the beauty of it because some people do their job so well. You know what I mean? There's something about him,
Starting point is 01:31:57 the way he walks out, and he just got that swag, that aura. Or something about her. You know what I mean? They like the way she looked. It could be her smile. It could be the way, you know, the wind blow that day.
Starting point is 01:32:06 Like, you never know what it is. Some people are just that good at the crowd. And they y'allan whoop that trick when you coming out. Like, they're having a party when you walk out. That's a movement. Yeah. You created a whole movement with that. Yeah, man, it was a blessing.
Starting point is 01:32:17 You know what I mean? I started in NXT where the crowd just adopted that. You know, my name being Trick Williams. My birth name being Matric, you know, Trick was a nickname. So it just, it fit and whoop that trick fit with Trick and it took off. Clarence and Shill does that too. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:33 She comes out to whoop that trick. She does. She does. That's exactly what she does, too. When did you know it was going to work? Like, when was that time, he was like, oh, they really catching on? Remember that match? Yeah, I would say, so at NXT, we're in front of a set audience in Orlando.
Starting point is 01:32:49 And we barely lead the house, like 400, 500 fans. And they started chatting with that trick there, which is cool. It was like, but we're in the same crowd. You know what I mean? You don't really know how the world feels about you. Then we went all the way to California in front of 5,000. And the whoop that trick chance was cool. crazy and I won my first title.
Starting point is 01:33:07 I beat Dominant Mysterio, Ray Mysterio, son. And that's when we knew like, okay, this movement is something crazy. And it hasn't slowed down since. Does the WWE call you at that time, but like, hey, we got to talk. We got to get some things in. Do they call you when when they start hearing it? Nah, that's not how Sean Michaels operate. You know, shoot, when you start succeeding, now you're in the high seat.
Starting point is 01:33:26 You know what I mean? It's like, once you get your first album, you know, and it hit, you know, now the pressure's on because now you got to follow up. You got to be able to, you know what I mean? you got to meet that pressure to everything that comes with that. So once the people get behind you, that's when the hard work really start.
Starting point is 01:33:40 You're in the hot seat. How different is the wrestler metric? I mean, your metric from the wrestler, Trick Williams. It depends who you ask. Like, people from high school, they'd be like,
Starting point is 01:33:53 oh, that's who he is. Like, he always been like that. But I just turn it up when the red light's on. You know what I mean? I talk moat trash. I mean, you don't walk around life, just pimps laughing people and talking trash. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:34:03 It has to be a reason. for it, you know what I mean? But like, you got to be able to feel this true emotions on the inside somewhere to, you know, make it feel real when it's, when the camera on. What high school you went to? Oh, you went to Kenan. Okay, okay, so you're really grew up in Columbia. I'm right there. Right there. My family from St. Matthews, we love country, yeah. You and your fiance last legend, both of you guys made it to the main roster. And that's all you talking about how like that was like a cheat code because y'all getting travel to world and do all these things. So what's that been like? It's been amazing,
Starting point is 01:34:30 man. You know, she's with me all the time. When I say all the time, all the time. All the tie. So, you know, and, you know, it just, it helps you feel a little bit more supported, you know, when you're in these foreign rooms. When you're dealing with people who are different than yourself, you know what I'm saying? Like, I know my lady rot with me, you know, regardless of how I go, regardless, you know, I debut on Smackdown. She goes, I'm good. My lady, you know, she's here. So we make sure that we're confident and we're prepared to go put on the best show. Anybody running in your house, that's the worst house. And look, man, and people say, like, oh, they be nervous. They want to make sure. that they partner does well
Starting point is 01:35:05 when they perform and everything. My fiance, she's six foot, you know what I'm saying? 195, 200, like basketball, you know, MVP, you know, Seattle Storm, all that. So I'll be nervous for her. I'd be nervous for everybody. She's in the ring with, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:35:19 She liked to fight. Even Jade? Jade. Look, I respect Jade, and, you know, she's from, you know, she's cool people, but there's only one lash. Is it challenging working with your family, do you find any challenges with it?
Starting point is 01:35:33 I know y'all are supportive of each other, but, you know, you're still together. Yeah, I would take these challenges over the other challenges. I got you. Yeah, of not seeing each other because we never home. So, like, if she was at the crib, but if it was doing something else, then it would be difficult. How did y'all meet?
Starting point is 01:35:51 In the business. In the business. Yeah, a lot of wrestlers date, rasslers. You know, that's just how it is. Like, you date where you at, you know? You know, that's a long other story. I don't know we got time for that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:36:03 So, all right, let's talk about it. Okay. Okay. You know, so, you know, we had the PC. That's what we call where we train, the performance center. And, you know, it's just people from college, people from different backgrounds, people from, you know, what we call the Indies, like I said before, football players, basketball players, all this sort. I'll say 90% of people come in in a relationship. Two months in, I'll say there's about 5% of them still in that relationship because that's just how the business is.
Starting point is 01:36:31 Like once you're in it, it's like a whole other world. And if you're not in it, a lot of people just don't understand. Like, what you mean? You got to stay and train with, you know, women who barely dress and everything. Or why, you know, guys don't never got this shirt on. It's a lot for people, you know, who not in it. Long story short, you know, I was in a little relationship. But, you know, me and Lash was cool with his friends.
Starting point is 01:36:55 And, you know, that didn't work out. So I saw Lash, you know. And people thought we was talking different stuff. like that. But no, we was just cool. It's just friends. I try to, you know, press some game on it. Cut a promo. What'd you say? Nothing. I was stumbling. I was stuttering
Starting point is 01:37:12 all over the flag. Damn. She wasn't... Yeah, and I'm a promo guy. Like, I like to talk. Yeah. And, you know, I went to talk to, I... You and me together. She wasn't with it at first, though, right? No, she friends on me. Quit. How do you know what you and the friends on? I mean, she was like, nah, you're my homie friend. Dap me up.
Starting point is 01:37:29 That's friends How did you feel in that moment? But I felt, you know what I'm saying? It was a friend zone like Because, you know, here's the truth about the matter. You know, she wasn't single either. You know what I'm saying? So she did what she had to do.
Starting point is 01:37:47 But, you know, we never crossed our line then and that. But like, we just grew as friends. And then one day, man, you know, it is what it is. So how did you get out to friends zone? Man, just being me. You know what I had to baby steps. Work your way up. Yeah, once you get the big toe in,
Starting point is 01:38:01 the rest of, you know. You was our best friend. Yeah, I got you. How does it help you guys' brands? Just because I know you have your singular brands, but together, because now they're calling you, like, one of the W.WEs, like, power couples, right? Straight up, yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:15 I mean, that was never the goal. Like, who wasn't trying to be a power couple, per se. You know, I just rock with her. But it definitely helps. You know what I mean? Like, you have double the reason to be invested into both of us now because, like, if you're a Tri Williams fan,
Starting point is 01:38:27 then you rock with that. She brought a lad. She brought a trip. And, you know, it just works like that. Do y'all hit each other with wrestling moves around the house just randomly? Yeah, man. She abusive. Damn.
Starting point is 01:38:38 She abusive, man. You want to go to the clothesline? You wish you stayed a friend? Uh. You mean her? You better tell you no. The funny thing is, you know, like, bro, she's like the strongest girl in WWW. No cap.
Starting point is 01:38:54 You know what I'm saying? She's no joke. She's no joke. But in the house, she's just so. Oh. help me you know what I mean oh no we got a lizard in the house we stay in Florida you know I mean I hate lizards like but you did body slam a 300 pound man last man you know what I mean but that means you put her in a really safe space yeah because she's very successful and I
Starting point is 01:39:12 watched you guys on the um sports Bible to agree to disagree I watched that and I was I loved how you guys interact because I can tell for her to be so successful you you're so successful as well normally there's this like thing when you're a successful woman where you have to always like you're on guard and you're always protecting with you're always protecting what you built. She'd just be fully like my man's here when you're, you know what I mean? That's a great thing to see. That's right, Lauren. I had to put my foot down. Sometimes you got a body slammer and letting them know, you know what I mean? Safely. We don't know if this is. I think she can beat you though. I ain't in front.
Starting point is 01:39:43 Man, a lot of people think that. You took off a coat and got on another court. Yeah. Normally you'd be shirtless. So, yeah, it's a lot. Let me take something about New York. Like she said, normally I don't got no shirt on, but Today I was prepared, man. It's cold. You're from soccer line in Florida.
Starting point is 01:40:01 This wasn't, you never get used to it. No, man. No. No, I don't play that. I know WrestleMania 42 is happening in April. How does WrestleMania feel? To me, on the outside looking in, I always look at that as wrestling Super Bowl. It is.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Okay. Yeah, it is Super Bowl. It's right back in Las Vegas again this year. Las Vegas is full of shows, entertainment, magic shows. But we are the show to come to see the 18th and the 19th of April. And your boys are going to have a match, I guarantee you. Is it pressure? It's a lot of pressure.
Starting point is 01:40:29 Like you said, it's a Super Bowl. And, like, that's what everybody, that's what it's all about. You know what I mean? Like, you want to, you want a main event, WrestleMania. You want to have a match on the biggest stage of them all. 60,000 fans, night one, 60,000 fans, night two, 120,000 different people there chant your name going crazy.
Starting point is 01:40:46 Like, that's what it's all about the biggest lights possible, the biggest production. All the stars come out. It's a good feeling. Yeah, man, it's about to go down. Who is your ideal opponent for WrestleMania? 424. Whoever won't it, man.
Starting point is 01:41:00 I ain't trying to brag, but, you know what I'm saying? Like, Trick is the highest new talent on the roster right now. So, I mean, anybody who's trying to get a little jump back into their deal, they want to take on Tripp Williams for WrestleMania. Absolutely. We appreciate you for joining us. Trick Williams. And good luck.
Starting point is 01:41:18 WrestleMania goes down to 18th and next month. Hold, real quick. Was your name supposed to be Matric or was it supposed to be something else like Matrix or something? My name is Patrick, man. A dad's name is Patrick. My mom named Monica. And you know how we do. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:41:29 You're from South Carolina. You know how to go. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so. Matrix Mandrae, my mama's good name is Mona. Rosa. Lo Rosa.
Starting point is 01:41:38 Yeah. Lerosa. Yeah, we're doing that. You know how we do, man. We're creative like that. That's crazy because I thought you was a little Spanish. Yeah, Lauren La Rosa. I didn't know my mom's the middle name.
Starting point is 01:41:47 His mom is Patrick. His mom, I mean, his dad is Patrick. His mom's mom. It's the same thing. That people just love putting names together. Yeah. Okay. But there you have it.
Starting point is 01:41:56 It's trick. from the WWE. Yes. It's the breakfast club good morning. It's time for Pasta Oaks. Go. Go. You know my DJ.
Starting point is 01:42:07 I know. It's so hard for me. What's up now? Big Naila. Nila, Nila Simone. Hey girl. N. NYLA.
Starting point is 01:42:20 Man. Young 1990 now. Yes. Study Brewster. Shout out. Not too much. You was on a row. I keep going.
Starting point is 01:42:26 He was really on a row. He just had to throw that in there, man. I'm excited, man. I think this new, I think they call themselves the psych, you know, Denzel Curry put together a collective, Tia Karen, A.S. Ferg, B.K. the ruler. And they dropped their project today. And it's really, really tough.
Starting point is 01:42:43 And, Shar, I think you're really going to like it because I know how much you love the crunk era. And it kind of reminds me of it. Maybe not this song in particular, but there's some songs on there that I think would really be it. But I like this from the most. It's Hoopty. It got Smino on there.
Starting point is 01:42:55 You guys know I love Smino and Tia Corinne. I like that. I had a crooked, but not this record was the crick. Yeah, not this record, but he has or they had. I like that, though. That's all of me. That's all. That's all.
Starting point is 01:43:05 They got a party started for sure. I think so, too. They just, they came together as a collective. They're really not a crew. Okay. You know, I'm team love collective, so that I think that was dope. Then I'm going to this Mike Will made it. Travis Porter and Montalillo.
Starting point is 01:43:19 Oh. Yeah, it's a crazy combination. Right. But I'm excited to hear this. I'm excited, too. Especially Mike Will bodied that versus, obviously, love. What? They want a Charlaman to drop it low.
Starting point is 01:43:29 How do you see that? They're talking to me so reckless right now. They want to be good. Like, Charlaman almost started twerking. That's in your vibe. I want Charlamine to throw it. Don't disrespect me. I'm a fucking lady.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Man, let's get into this new Mike Will made it. It's called Standing O. Who that is? Mono Leo. What about Mona Leo? Okay, okay, okay. I don't know if I'm feeling that. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:43:49 That's what Travis Porter. I was expecting something like. Travis Porter on. Travis Porter on. I like Travis Porter. Yeah. I like all three, the Mike Will made it, Travis Porter,
Starting point is 01:43:56 and Monolillo, but I don't know if I like that. I think maybe you got here from the beginning. You know it's hard with these snippets to really catch it. Like even the last record, those verses that Tia did and Smino did were fire. All you guys heard was the hook. But the verses are dope. Gives people just a little bit to go check it out for themselves. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:44:13 And then the last one is a rap record from Deonté Hitchcock. You know, he dropped a little three-piece. Deonti. And the record is called Got to Be More, which he actually just posted this tweet that was like, Yo, I'm a great rapper. I just don't like the post content. And I was like, dang, that's...
Starting point is 01:44:29 See, like, that's most rappers. Yeah, but that's cool, though. She's like most rappers. I've been watching Deontes since he just used to be sitting in his car freestyle and just felt like... It probably was like 15 years ago. Not 15 years ago. At least.
Starting point is 01:44:40 I probably like 10. All right. 10. I give it 10. But this call got to be more. Yeah, I would smoke a blunt at a cafe and sit down and do work on the laptop. That's fire. He's fire.
Starting point is 01:44:51 I like that. I like that whole picture you did say it, by the way. I wonder if DeAndi gets discouraged just because, you know, he might not feel like he's where he's supposed to be. Because he's very talented. And when you're that talented and you see everybody else, you know, prospering and you're like, I'm doping and all of them guys. He gets ready. But he's nice. I feel like that's what a lot of rappers.
Starting point is 01:45:09 And you deal with a lot of rappers now. Don't you feel like they don't put out music because they're scared? Because they get busy. But I feel like they're scared that people won't accept it the way that they wanted to be received. I don't know if it's because they're scared. I think a lot of times they sign with. labels that don't know what to do with them. And I think labels give them bad advice,
Starting point is 01:45:27 like you should be doing a record like this. Like, there's some rappers who I work are who are phenomenal with the pen who labels are telling them to make drill records. Like when drill is hot. I feel that, and I feel like the people are too into numbers, right? They want to see how well the record spins or how record, how well it does, how well it streams,
Starting point is 01:45:44 how well a YouTube. Like, if you like good music, go rock with good music. Yeah, and I also think that, I don't want to blame this on Cole, but I think Cole being like an ordinary What? Why does it always have to come back to Jake Cole in some way shit before him? That's the vibe that he kind of gave me, though.
Starting point is 01:45:59 Yeah, in the sense of like ordinary rappers, like I'm famous, but then I'm still doing regular stuff. Like, I feel like people just don't want to do all the things it takes to necessarily. I feel like we got a whole generation of regular rappers. Jake Cole, Champs, Rapper, Kendrick, like, none of them are... Drake and Kendrick give regular. What do you mean about regular? They're all big, like, Cole, Kendrick, and Drake are all.
Starting point is 01:46:23 big superstars, but their boots are very much on the ground compared to the people that we grew up with in the 90s. I didn't ever seen drink on a college campus. Opposed to a DMX, opposed to a Nause, opposed to a T.I. That's what you saying? Think about all of the big gaudy jewelry. Yes. You know, like they did, there was a
Starting point is 01:46:39 there was a, the rappers used to look and present a certain way. That was the drug dealer, like they were trying to be like the drug dealer. No, because even Kanye used to give off superstar aesthetic. And he wasn't no drug dealer. He was walking around with Fonsworth Bentley them guys.
Starting point is 01:46:55 I don't know what it is, but if you guys like those records, make sure you guys check them out. You can get them by. Follow me at Naila Simone. Nyla-N-O-Y. Samone-W-A-W-A-L-A-S-Y-M-O-N-E-E-E-E-E. While you're there, makes you guys follow. It's a certified vibe. And, yeah, more tunes on the way. Yes, indeed. Thank you, Naila.
Starting point is 01:47:13 All right. Let's get to the mix. We throw it back on a Friday. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D-J-N-V-J-Larius. Charlamaine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's Women's History Month. Who we are saluting today. We are saluting Claire Huxdable from the filmed series Cosby Show, played by Felicia Rashad. She was the matriarch of the family.
Starting point is 01:47:34 She is what I consider, like, all of my aunts and my mother to be. That was, like, the most relatable mother on TV that I had watched growing up. And so I just want to give her a big shout out. Claire Huxstable, who was supposed to be Dominican at first? Did y'all know that? No. I did not. Yeah, she, yeah, they, y'all ain't know that?
Starting point is 01:47:52 The black fit. family, the Cosby show was going to put a Dominican woman in the... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She was supposed to be, yo, they was casting for a Dominican mom. Did you know that? And she went in the audition to aid it up. She spoke fluent Spanish, yo, like, and she ate it up like that. Her and her sister both speaks fluent Spanish.
Starting point is 01:48:11 But yeah, man, they were trying to cast a Dominican woman for that first. And then they switched it. Bill Cosby switched it. It was like, okay, yeah, like she can be regular black. Yeah, it would have been the same. The fact that it was a black family is what made. I mean, the college show was a great show regardless, but seeing that black family was very powerful.
Starting point is 01:48:27 Yeah. Yes, because black love is revolutionary. Nothing wrong with, you know, being black. For sure. And being with a Latino. Mm-hmm. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:48:36 What? Yo, I'm so hyped because y'all, y'all ain't know that. And I did not make that up. What I say it says, originally the character was supposed to speak Spanish, which explains why she occasionally spoke Spanish on the Cosby show. Bill Cosby initially wanted her to be a Spanish. Spanish-speaking character who would revert to her native language when frustrated.
Starting point is 01:48:56 The plan was dropped before the pilot was taped. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but specifically Dominican is what they want to be. Like, that's for real. I literally, literally read that in a newspaper. Mm-hmm. So. You didn't read that.
Starting point is 01:49:11 I believe you up until you said you're right. All right. All right. But I was doing it. Exactly. You saw Instagram. I didn't read in the newspaper. But I did, I did hear Malcolm Jamar want to say that on a podcast before, like, a year
Starting point is 01:49:22 a year and a half ago. It would have been whack. I think it would have destroyed what the show was. Yeah, not it was because the whole thing it was showing black love, black community, black family. And it's still one of my favorite shows to this day. So, yeah, shout out to Claire Huxstaboo and Felicia Rashon. Okay.
Starting point is 01:49:38 All right. What happened? This is funny. All right, when we come back with... Just says she reads. That's when everybody knows. Oops, Kat. Now, a couple of weeks ago, Lauren announced that Mary J. Blage will be doing her first
Starting point is 01:49:52 Vegas residency titled Mary J. Blige, My Life, My Story. Now, you and Jess only know a couple of Mary's songs, and that's very, very frustrating. Why do you keep telling the people this? That is not true. I know so many Mary J. Blase songs. I just didn't know the name of one song,
Starting point is 01:50:08 but I knew the song Word for Word. Well, I'm going to help you guys out because I was looking on eBay, and shout out to eBay, because they have everything including Mary's My Life CDs and vinyl. So I'm going to get you guys some vinyl so you guys can actually know the song title
