I got a whole day of press tomorrow in L.A. She said, I feel energized. I do. I really do. Yesterday, I went to get an IV. So shout out the vital IV infusions in Jersey City. Well, I think Holboken in that area or whatever, yo, and I got the

IV drip. And this is not the first time I got it, but this is the first time I'm actually feeling the effects of it. Like it helps with brain fog, anxiety, energy, because I don't sleep well and all those things. Just putting, like, the nutrition and all the vitamins and all that

back into your body, you know, you get it like much more, is much more potent when it's going through the IV, you know, rather than taking a whole bunch of vitamins. Yeah, that's dope. And if you stop doing drugs, that's Yeah, well, I haven't done them since I got the IV, so I'm... That was just yesterday. 12 hours?

Yeah, less than that. Okay, okay, okay. You got to start somewhere? No, I have not. Yo, I'm good. Look at my eyes. I'm straight. Like, yeah.

I'm good. Adelaide ball and kick in yet. Give her a minute. I have not, yo, but no, I'm really, really excited. My book, like, we're getting closer to the release date. That's right, April 28th. I'm really excited about it. So go out there pre-order it right now.

Charlemaine, don't yell at me for promoting the book too early. because he don't like when we start off trying to sell stuff, but I'm really excited. I know, but I'm excited. Say hello to the people first. Good morning. I did. I said, Good morning. Wake that ass up. But yeah, I'm excited. So that's where I met this weekend. That's good. All right. I went to go see the Super Mario galaxy movie yesterday. Oh, you was excited. Oh, man. Drop on the clues bonds for Super Mario. It really was excited. You were by yourself? Shut up. It's a family movie. Of course, I took the kids. Act like you ain't coded in some of these movies by yourself.

It's interesting, right? Because I love things that transcend generations. Right? So, you know, of course, we grew up on Super Bowl. Mario. We was around when N.I.S. first came out. Literally when Nintendo started that was the game. Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt. So to see all of these kids and my kids in the movie theater, by the way, they know characters that I don't even know

no more because I don't follow the world anymore. So it's a whole bunch of different characters. New ones? Of course. I mean, of course, you know, I think the last new character I remember from Super Mario was probably Yoshi and Yoshi's in this one. But then there's a whole bunch of new ones that I know nothing

about. But the movie is just a phenomenal to watch and I love it because there's a scene in the movie where they show the flash to the old school video game that we grew up on. And the scene, oh, it's so dope. You got to watch. I don't want to spoil it for you, but you got to see it. So, I'm married. All right. We'll definitely check it out.

Take the kids. I need something to do. My kids got spring brace. I need something for them to do. Have they seen the first one? Yes. Okay, if they've seen the first one, definitely take them to see the Super Mario Galaxy movie. Okay, I definitely will. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Arsenio Hall will be joining us. The icon. The icon living. Okay.

the legend of all legends. One of my top four entertainment inspirations in the world. Arsenio Hall will be here to talk about his new book, Arsenio Memoir, that came out on Black Privilege Publishing, Simon & Schuster. That's right. So we're going to be kicking it with Arsenio Hall next hour. We got front page news

with Mimi, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NVJJJ Salarius. Sholomey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, M.V. Jeff Salameen, how y'all doing this morning?

Peace, me, McGraw. Good morning. So we start this morning with President Trump's, his first primetime address since the war started, where he told America that the U.S. is winning and that the war would be over soon. So he says the U.S. military has hit thousands of targets, weakened Iran's military, and the goal is to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. He also warned that if Iran does not make a deal, the U.S. will hit more targets, in the coming weeks. He did not give a clear timeline, only saying that it would be over a few weeks,

be over in a few weeks, and that the fighting will continue until the U.S. mission has been completed. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing. Regime change was not our goal. We never said regime change, but regime. change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' death. If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.

We have not hit their oil, even though that's the easiest target of all, but we could hit it and it would be gone and there's not a thing they could do about it. How are you going to tell me we negotiate and we're trying to make a deal, but also on the same but I say we're hitting them hard and sending them back to the Stone Age. Where they belong. Jesus Christ. Which one is crazy? Can you stop hitting me for a second so we can talk?

Jesus. Very contradicting there. The president also acknowledged that Americans are feeling the impact here at home, especially when it comes to gas prices and the economy, but says that those problems should be over once the war is completed. And so right now the message from the White House is the war is not over yet, but they believe that the end could be here soon. So he didn't get no timeline.

He just said it could be over here soon. Yes, two to three weeks, I believe is what he said. But at the same time, we have ground troops still heading that way. So, you know, we'll have to see what that looks like. And we could finally be seeing the beginning of the end of the government shutdown. Republicans in Congress now say they have a plan to reopen the Department of Homeland Security and get federal workers paid again. But they are doing it in two steps because the big fight over immigration is still not.

resolved. So first lawmakers plan to fund most of Homeland Security so agencies like TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard can keep running and workers can get paid. Now they say they plan to do this in the next few days. Then they plan to deal with immigration enforcement like ICE and border security in a separate bill using a process called reconciliation, which means they'll pass it with only Republican votes and they don't need Democrats to get that through. President Trump is pushing for Congress to get the immigration funding part done by June 1st. So that could be good news for all of those workers who are not getting paid. I know a lot of people are saying that the Coast Guard and some of the cybersecurity workers, federal workers, they feel left out because we're only

focusing on TSA agents. So some relief could be coming soon. And if you've been to the grocery store lately and felt like your bill keeps going up, that's probably because it is. The price of ground beef has now gotten so high in some stores that one pound costs more than a federal minimum wage, meaning some people are working an hour just to afford one pound of meat. Yes, of hamburger meat. Experts say this is just yet another sign, though, of how everyday life is getting, how expensive it's getting.

No, everything is expensive. Even just going to the movies yesterday, I mean, I know I got a lot of kids, but God damn, okay, okay? When it's five of y'all and things almost a total up to $100 for some popcorn and some candy. Anything for five people these days is a lot. I went bowling the other day and bowling was so damn expensive. Yeah. Bowling always been expensive.

Nah, no. No, it was never that expensive. It was like, we only played two games. So two games and two shoes was $200. And it was four of us. Oh, four y'all. It was four of us in the baby. All right.

That was a top of those expensive. I'm with you. But food? It was like $150. That's what the airheads and peanut M&Ms and, you know, almonds and popcorn shouldn't be your $92. $12. $12 apiece for that. That's crazy.

Most people stop at 7-11 before they get to the movie. I still do that. I don't care. Take the big bag. I'm putting everything in there. Absolutely. All right, y'all, well, coming up at 7, the travel industry is dealing with higher fuel prices, and now travelers are paying for it in unexpected ways.

We'll explain that in the next hour. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800 585105.15. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 1-800-5-105-1 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Break it get it up. This is your time to get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Taylor from Atlanta. Can y'all hear me? Taylor? What's up? Yeah, we can hear you, sir. Why you can't hear us? Talk to us.

I do want to make sure. Also, too, my bad. I called y'all about a week ago. Sholomey, what I wanted to say was, I think a very good versus or debate would be from Uncle Ruckus and Dr. Ubar. Even though I know that. That'd be fired.

But see, we couldn't, we would have to, we couldn't tell Dr. Umar that Uncle Ruckett's not a real person. We just have to have him up here and have Uncle Ruckus call in. I know, that's because I love, because I love to see your interview when you can have them. It's still so funny. Yeah, man. Salarra.

I'm going to say two more things. Just hilarious. How you doing? I'm good. How you? I'm good. I mean, that's a complaint. But I know you've got the book coming out.

However, though, I feel, I can't tell you what to do with your future or anything like that. But if you would say, ever do another book, you've got to do something about women, wanting to listen and understanding from other women who are successful with their marriages and love and stuff like that. That tends to be the heart. hardest things that women don't want to suck. Well, I'll say talk about. I don't want to listen to men. But it might be good coming from another woman, and you want to people you tap

in with the coaching. Yeah, absolutely. The last thing, I'm going to y'all's going to laugh. DJ NB and Charlomaine. If y'all don't mind me, you ask you. I want you all to drop a cool, a DJ coupon for someone.

Yeah. My woman, her daughter, her name is Denia, B. Williams, just got accepted into Howard. Hey.

That's right. That says Denia, right? Oh, I know, yes. Okay. All right.

We got campus. We got Fort Valley. Okay. We got the state. We got Clark. We got Bethleh and we got film. I love you. Oh, that's good.

Congratulations. For that young lady. So an, Anaya, E. Howard, I would just request Y'all dropped one of the clues bombs for her

because she had to go through all that. Well, drop on the clothes bombs for it. Naya Howard, man. Congratulations, Queen. Absolutely. Which was she leaning towards? All right. I appreciate y'all.

DJ Henry. They'll go giant. All right. Which school is she leading towards, brother? Which one she want to go to? I'm sorry. Only Howard. Okay.

That's good. HBCU. It's all HBCU love. I love my Howard family. Yeah, she's on that. And she had him. because she had happened in the bag. It was just Howard was a little bit more, you know,

waited to the end. But, man, she's trying to be a psychologist. She's trying to do her thing. All right, brother. I'm going to go with it. I was watching Andrew Reese yesterday. Andrew Reese. I don't think it was from yesterday,

but she was saying how if she could do it all over again, she didn't went to Howard University. She went to Howard, HBCU. She always wanted to go to Howard. Get it off your chest. 800-585-10-1-5-1. If you need to vent and hit us up now, It's the breakfast club. Good morning.

Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. Izzy, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool. I want to hear from you on the breakfast club. We can get on the phone right now.

We'll tell you what it is. We lie? Hello, who's this? Hello, it's Seah. Hey, Seah. What's up? What's up? All right.

So, what I'm getting off my chest is my relationship, okay? I've been in the relationship for five years. I am in my 20, late 20s. And it's just declining. I don't know. I think we kind of got into a relationship when I was just trying to be freed outside, but now I'm trying to get to a bag, you know?

And she's not worried about it as much as I am. And I don't know. I'm not just worried about money, but I definitely feel like it can't just run out love. You tired of that scrap, huh? Wow. Cut it out. You know.

Batteries dead on the script. Well, I'm saying. No, I'm saying. It's not enough. Yeah, you got to tell her that's not the way you're trying to eat no more. You're trying to get to that bag. Hey, yo. Wow.

I'm trying to eat that bag. That's it. That's right. I mean, you just got to tell her. I mean, I'm sure it's going to be tough for her, but, you know, she'll be okay. Yeah, for sure. No love loss for real. That's right.

What he says? Studs are like buses, right? You miss one, the next one coming. I ain't never heard that. The next. Listen, they're coming. They are on a roster. I'm trying to be nice.

Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Have a good one, man. You got to do what you got to do. You too. I don't have no problem with what you're doing, man. I am all about boundaries and removing people from my life that are keeping me from my goals. True.

Hello, who's this? We'll just be making up. Evvy! What's up, yo? What's up, yo? Envy, Star. Peace, sis. What's happening?

Well, listen, we got to talk about people that it gets so mad that they try to write a paragraph and they can't spell. What's you talking about? I'm talking about Meek Mill, man. You can't be out here proving what people say about the Philadelphia education system right. I'm trying to decipher what you're talking about. You just sound, you're just so dumb because I can't read what you were talking about.

And salute to Meek, man. We're not doing that. Salute to meek. No, man, my brain hurt. My brain hurt trying to read what he was talking about yesterday. What was he talking about? Man, I don't know. I can't get through it.

Laura's going to break it down. in the latest. He was upset with some comments and some critique that Charleston Man had. So he was talking how he felt and how he felt. I wasn't even, I was not dissing meek mill in no way, shape, or form. I was just talking about the perception of the narrative around meek. Well, if you missed it, I'm sure Lauren has it in the first latest. What's up, Lauren? Nothing gets these blogs bricked up, like them thinking black people are going back and forth.

This is not a back and forth. I'm not trying to disheek in no way, shape, before, but we can talk about it. You're going to talk about the latest, right? Yeah, we're going to talk about Meek and Charlamagne and that whole conversation. I love Meek and people would be coming for him so bad. You just woke up? No, I mean, we all just woke up. It's 6 a.m.

Absolutely. I've been up since 4 or something. I've been up since 3.30. Oh, okay. Yeah. But we also going to. We're also going to. Shut up.

Jesus. We're also going to get into. You didn't try this morning? How you just said it's on me? You just woke up. She's sitting right here at work. Like a week. Like here.

Stay focused. Stay focused. Stay focused. We also gonna get into Meg that's dying. We now know what actually happened to Meg. I got a statement yesterday that cleared up some of the, you know, help concerns. So wasn't you, though. Huh?

So it wasn't you? It wasn't me. You leave me alone. All right. We'll get it to all that when we come back. You put on one little hoodie, now you still sleep. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. You're talking L.Cube. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm doing myself. That source is trust. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little girl.

The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that, take me through there. Where she's going? The latest with Arnold Lose. On the breakfast club. L.L. Cubey. Talk to me. So Tuesday night, you guys know I went to go see Megastalian on Broadway in Mulan Rouge. And that was...

You got her sick. I did not. You went there with all of them germs that you've been bringing in here for the past week. That was abruptly stopped. And Megastalian was swapped out for an understudy. And she did not continue the show. and people have been trying to figure out what happened because it was just so random. So last night I received a statement from a spokesperson for Meg Dostalian clearing up what happened to Meg because we knew that she had been taken to the hospital.

The statement said on Tuesday, Megan was transported to the hospital to undergo medical evaluation after she experienced concerning symptoms. So they said that the doctors identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasol constriction, which is something that like narrows your blood vessels and can stop blood flow, low metabolizer. levels, which can lead to fatigue as the cause of her symptoms. So they said that she was treated and that she'll return back to Broadway as Zidler tonight, Thursday. Magdalian then posted on her Instagram and she says, you know, last night, she posted this yesterday. Last night was a real wake-up call for me.

I've been pushing myself past my limits lately. Running on empty, my body finally said enough. It's honestly very scary or it scared me. I thought I was going to faint on stage. I really tried to push through my performance, but I just couldn't. I want to be real with y'all because you mean. mean everything to me. I hate letting y'all down. She's talking to the hitties. I just need one day to rest, reset, and take care of myself the way I should have been. I'll call. And now I'll get

right back on stage. She says she'll be back Thursday. She'll be stronger, clear, and ready to give 100% the way that the show deserves. And she says, thanks for riding with her and loving on her through all of this. I'm between our show, between rehearsals and she might be working on an album. She probably got a million different things going. Yes. And Broadway is very, it's very demanding. Like that schedule is, I mean, it's a lot to do with. But when She says she almost fainted on stage. I'm like, the performer of her is like, wow, because you couldn't tell that at all. No, you could not tell it.

Sometimes your body needs a break. Your body going to tell you. Or the end of that, then put a baby in her. I just want you to know that. I know I was seeing it everywhere. It's because she's happily in a relationship. Anytime your relationship, every, you sneeze, people be like, you're pregnant. Like, oh, we don't think that about you.

You asked me that several times. And I always knock on wood and take a shot. Yeah, because don't play with me. Knock on wood and take a shot. Because just not right now, God. That's the problem you, but not right now. That's why. I got a lot to do.

I need about, you know, tears. So if you are pregnant, you're just going to get that baby just alcoholed up already. Jesus knows my heart. All right. You get alcoholed up already. Because she says she takes a shot. But Megan... No, she means like a pregnancy shot to not get pregnant.

No, she's talking about a shot of liquor. Yeah, I like to kill her. Yeah. I wonder if she does the IV things, though, because I was just telling him I went to vital IV infusions yesterday and I feel good. Like, you know, it helps with, like, energy and brain fog. And I'm not saying she got brain fog, but... Yeah. Like you said, that Broadway schedule is very demanding.

Amanda, we've interviewed people that does Broadway, and they don't have days off. Yeah, and the rehearsals are crazy, and they're, like, out there screaming to the top of their lungs for, you know, like two, three hours straight. Well, I'm not for sure what she's doing, but I think whatever she was doing before, her regimen is going to change, for sure, at this point.

And I was there yesterday outside of the theater in New York. I did an inside edition about this whole, you know, what happened that night. And I heard the audience handlers reminding people that Meg would be back on Thursday and she wasn't there that night. And there were some people who didn't know who were like, okay, well, how do we change our tickets for Thursday then?

So, yes. All right. Now, in other news, Charlemagne all over the timeline. So Meek Mill is upset. He did not like some comments that Charlemagne made, so he made it a main post on his Instagram to talk about propaganda that takes place in the hip-hop community. Now, let's take a listen first to Charlemagne's comments that he made with Andrew.

Can you give the clip some context, though? We were discussing how people handle the aftermath of Rat Beast. Yes. You guys were talking about Jay Z nyes because of the Jay Z interview that he did with GQ. So let's take a listen to the comments on brilliant idiots. Meek could have just kept doing music, but for some reason he didn't. Like something was just off after the battle. You know what I mean?

And he really, I mean, honestly, he didn't really cover. Yeah. You know what it was with Meek, man. Meeks Achilles Hill to me was actually Twitter. Yeah, for sure. And when Drake, when Drake called him Twitter fingers. Trigger fingers on the Twitter. finger, turn the Twitter fingers.

And it's just like every time Meek tweets, even now to this day. It's crazy. It's pure energy. And I'm like, I'll f*** with Meek. You know what I'm saying? I think Meek does a lot for his community. You know, he's been a great, you know,

symbol for the city of Philly. I love what he does with reform. But I probably would have deleted my Twitter after Twitter fingers. And just flooding the streets with nothing but music. When I say it didn't really recover, I'm talking about perception. narrative, especially on social media. Because when Drake and Meek had their rap beef,

that's when the narrative about Meek started to change. That's when all the jokes started. And the jokes haven't really stopped since. So you wasn't talking musically because I seen Meek put up a post and he talked about some of his accolades since that's great beef. Yeah, so he put up a post, a very lengthy post. And he says he wanted to make this a main post because he wanted to highlight what he called propaganda

that's taking place in the hip-hop community. I'm going to get through it. He says he needs everyone to leave a comment if you see what's happening at how they're trying to downgrade artists' brands from feeding their family. Let's go through it. The white comedian also boosted. Boosted didn't rumor on his major platform with no evidence, then asked me to go on his show. Can y'all see my brand back heating up now? This, please leave an honest comment. Since Drake Beef, I dropped tap. That's three times platinum. Pita, double platinum, blue note,

one and two times platinum, uptown vives with legend from Brooklyn, fad, platinum. What's Free, featuring Jay-Z Mick Mill. I think that. It's Platinum. F on me featuring Cardi, platinum, Scarface with Regraws, gold, independent money, respect the game, platinum, 24-7, double platinum. So he's going through a bunch of his music. Cyber Truck in Philly, 5 a.m.

Look how far we can. He said, so what are, what the F are we talking about? We got to keep a close eye on this cat. I feel like he's in the closet gay man that hate successful black men unless he's doing business with them, but they promoted I'm gay.

And I'm powering, helping pop like 10 artists off on the East Coast, no cash for game for charity. I'm really the one, but it's some real propaganda on my brain. And I want to investigate it. Drop on the clues bombs from Meek, Mill. I never said he didn't drop any music. I said if I was Meek, I would have deleted my Twitter and just kept dropping music. I would only talk through the music because every single time Meek posts, the Internet turns it into a joke.

Y'all was just laughing at them last week because he posted about being on LinkedIn. Yeah, they were. And I said on Brunei, it's the propaganda. I didn't say propaganda, but I said, you know, the way. they act with meek is strange and i i agree with meek the propaganda against meek is strange and it started with that battle and at least on social media the narrative around him uh hasn't recovered it started with the battle the sad thing about meek is meek he gets busy he gets nice because of great music he's an inspiration to a lot of these artists g herbo said he's the reason why he even wanted to get into music

but sadly because of of everything that's been going on with social media after that beef he's been the butt of a lot of people's jokes regardless of what he does and he does some great things we always give me credit for the great thing and it doesn't matter what he doesn't matter what he He drops, too, because there has been music that I feel like people didn't, like, remember the, remember the Heavans? Like, there was a lot of things that he dropped. Championship, wins and losses. Even though that was almost 10 years ago, that was a great project. Yeah, but he dropped a snippet.

A four-pack last year you put out a four-pack. That was the, remember the Heavons one? That's what I'm talking about. Oh, that's real. Yeah, and it was great, but I feel like people didn't really talk about it at the time. He was just proof-read the tweets, yo. That's all you got to do before you just press and submit. It's more.

Just proof-read the tweets. It's like anything he do. Because LinkedIn, I don't understand what you. you're talking about. We don't understand, but it's funny. It's not like, you know, oh, you're a retard. You're just funny, yo. That's why I said he shouldn't tweet and he should just talk through the music. And, as he

just said, they put gay on meek. Yeah, they definitely was sprinkling that. He mentioned that. He said that that diddy situation was like that. That was that wasn't right. And that's why I'm not even mad. He said I'm DL in that post because that's just projection. You're not DL. You come out. You came out.

Shut up. No, he did not. Well, he's not, but I'm just saying. He'd be hurt by what people say about him, so he's putting that on me. But I do agree with me. The propaganda against him is strange. It's horrible. And it started with that battle, at least on social media, right?

And the narrative around him on social media is what I mean when I say he hasn't fully recovered. Right. Because he's done some amazing stuff. He sells out arenas. He sells out, he does a lot of dope-ish. But like you said, the propaganda around him is taking what he's done and what he's built and tries to make a mockery of it. Every time he posts. If you're Meek, yeah, you understand why he would be upset.

Like absolutely positively, they didn't made this man gay. They just made this man Dittie's sitting on Diddy's lap. Every time he tweets, the twins with the outfits. Twins with the outfits. They didn't take everything that he started with. And I've seen Meeks ground from the beginning. I know. So I would feel the same way.

But Meek has done some amazing things. As I said on brilliant it. He's done some incredible things. I love what he does with reform. We love a meek, y'all. Yes. All right, salute to Meek, ma'am. Yeah, he dropped a.

Play some Meek. Can we play some Meek. Yeah, dreams a nightmare. It's something to pull it up. Hurry it. Got you. All right. Well, that is the latest with Lauren.

Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Arsenio Hall will be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, everybody. We're J.M.V. Jolari. Sholomey, Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Envi Jashelamaine. How y'all doing this morning? This morning. Good morning. Good morning.

So we start this hour with a story that blew up online and is now getting attention at the White House. So President Trump is weighing in. So President Trump is weighing in on that viral video involving Erica Kirk, who was the widow of Charlie Kirk. So she was in a room yesterday during a White House Easter lunch when the president saw her in the audience. He asked how she was doing, and then he seemingly brought up that Druski viral video. Let's listen. It doesn't want unload, darling.

Wow, this is a good table. I like that table. You're doing well, right? Okay. I think you should sue him, but, you know. I told her you ought to sue somebody. They're so jealous of Erica. I said, you're to sue their right.

I can say, you're not allowed to say that you have to be nicer. Sue their asses of. Erica Kirk should be offended every single time somebody says that was, Drewski was imitating her in that video. He never said he was. You know what I mean? There's another conservative woman named Kat Kamak, who I think that's who I think Drewski saw

because she'd be whaling on stage. I didn't learn about her until after the Drewskiy. Drewski's kid. So Erica Kirk should be offended every time somebody be like, yeah, Drewski was pretending to be you because that's how they think you look, Erica. Yeah, but how can I was just always curious to how can they sue when you look at all these shows and parodies, whether it's SNL or all these

other comedy centers, they always do it. They can't. But what's the problem? Yeah. Yeah. It's comedy. It's, you know, funny. Satire. I don't understand. Yeah, exactly. So, I don't know. But anyway, at that same event yesterday, we told you how presidential

Trump was at the Supreme Court, how he was going to go and hear the justices argument about his executive order on birthright citizenship, which would end automatic citizenship for some children born in the U.S. So at the same meeting yesterday at the White House, the president touched on that. So as the court is now deciding whether a president has a power to make that change without Congress, the president, he weighed in on. So this is a podcast about video games. Kind of.

It's also about friendship. Definitely. And chaos. Unavoidably. Welcome to It's Dangerous to Go Alone. A podcast where we talk games, culture, nostalgia, and immediately go off topic.

Anyone can build an app. And it's very empowering. Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future. And we're going to break down what all of this innovation actually means for you. What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating these AI companion, they're actually dating the companies that create this. We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history. And let's be honest.

That can be messy. There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you. But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment. Mostly Human will show you how. My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit. The reason I say agency is because if we can give power back to people, then I think that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health.

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just... seared into my memory.

I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far

away from it, that have made F1 a 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. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so much, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing.

I didn't realize it's the first time in history that a president went to the Supreme Court. I was really surprised to hear that Supreme Court's not been acting very well, actually. And Republicans, judges and justices, they always want to show that they're independent. I can, I don't care if Trump appointed me, I don't care if he doesn't make any difference to me.

I'm voting against him because they want to show their independence, you know, stupid people. The Supreme Court is supposed to be independent. Exactly. Exactly. So a lot of backlash this morning for that comment from the president. As you pointed out, Charlemagne, the Supreme Court, justices, judges, courts are all supposed to. be independent. So there's that. And they're likely to side against him on birthright citizenship from what I was reading yesterday, right? Exactly. Exactly. So once he heard that the court hearing wasn't going, you know, in his favor, they were pushing back, asking a lot of questions. That was the comment that he made. Yes, exactly. And so let's end with history in the making. So NASA is on

its way to the moon, four astronauts, three Americans and one Canadian, they launched on the Artemis II mission becoming the first humans to head toward the moon in more than 50 years. So they won't land this time. This is just a test flight, but they'll travel at least 250,000 miles from Earth, loop around the moon and come back in about 10 days in space. Now, NASA says this mission is a big step before astronauts actually land on the moon about a decade from now. And the long-term goal is to eventually build a base on the moon and send humans to Mars. And so when they circle the This crew will eventually, will actually travel further from Earth than any humans in history. The astronauts said that this mission is more than just going to the moon.

It's about exploration. Let's listen. When I think about the four of us flying around the far side of the moon, seeing that Earth rise, taking images and video and sending them back to you, the feeling that I have inside is hope. We know that Artemis II is not the solution for humanity on planet Earth, but it is a contribution in the positive column. We hope that just for a moment that people will pause and say, wow, it's extraordinary when you look back upon the earth with over 8 billion people. And you see this concrete example of what humanity can do, this extraordinary thing when we set big goals.

So listen, Mimi, you said that in a decade they plan to walk on the moon. Yeah, so this is a test run so that they can, so eventually their long-term goal is to eventually build a base on the moon and send humans. So this is a test run to see exactly, you know, what that. that may look like. So back in 1969 and 1972, when they told us that, you know, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin and all in walked on the moon. Right.

In 2026, they haven't figured out how to do that. I would think once you walk on it back in the day in 1969, 1972, you could do it now. That leads me to believe that was a lot. Yeah, it's been over 50 years. Somebody walked on the goddamn mood. If it's going to take another 10 years for people to walk on the moon, how we went backwards.

Yeah, it took 50 years, and we didn't even lay it on the moon this time. We just spun around it. That's what I'm saying. But they're saying in the 10 years we're going to be on the moon and build the base? No, man. When I hear things like that, it just lets me know we are a real primitive species in the grandest schemes of this universe. And I bet you there is some of the challenge.

Well, I don't know if it's in a decade, but it's later this decade. So, sometime within the next 10 years, they want to eventually land on the moon. They're not doing it this time. So we're all right. They're not doing it this time. But within the next decade, that is the goal to actually land on the moon. They said they already did it back in 69 and 72. So what happened?

Why are we? I don't know. Somebody is lying. Okay. There's a great movie, by the way, that stars Scarla Johansson and Channing Tatum called Take Me to the Moon, and it shows how they fake the whole moon landing. I watched it on the plane one time. It's actually a really good movie. Okay. Well, if you want to follow along, NASA has they set up a live tracker so you can just go to their website or go to the NASA app and you can track the mission in real time and see what's going on and follow the journey and see them loop around the moon that they will not be stopping on just yet. It's AI. There you have it.

All right, y'all. That is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories, follow the Black Information Network. Yes, me. It's called Fly Me to the Moon, by the Moon, by the way. Fly me to the Moon.

I've heard of that. Great movie. All right. Now, when we come back, Arsenio Hall will be joining us. He has a new memoir out today. It's called Arsenio, and we'll talk to him in a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalermaine the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here with us as well. Now we got a special guest. A legend, a cultural icon.

An OG, a legend in this game. Ladies and gentlemen, Arsenio Hall. Yes, sir. Woo, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, how are you saying, brother. I'm feeling great. I'm thanking God for the day that Chalemain called me. Because I wouldn't have done this without the voice of respect on the other end of the phone.

I mean, I'm 70 years old. I could have written a book many times, but that's a dope. work. It's a really hard thing to do and he talked me into it and I'm so glad I did for my son and for my legacy. Man, I'm so glad you did too because I want to talk about your legacy today, man. You know, I always say that I got four entertainment icons, right? Jay-Z, Clarence, Avon, P.D. Green and Arsenio Hall. And I feel like people don't truly understand the risk you took to put black culture at the forefront at a time when nobody was putting black culture in the forefront. Yeah, it was hard.

I was coming along at a time when you go to Paramount and say, let's book Bobby Brown the first Friday night because people won't have to work on Saturday. And to really show him what show this is, he has this song, Don't Be Cruel. And my prerogative, let's let him break one at the top and one at the bottom. Well, Johnny Carson only does three minutes of a song at the end of the show. And I'm like, well, I'm not fucking. I'm not Johnny. So let's try this.

But what was crazier is one of the ladies in the room said, and why would we give a model that much time? And I didn't realize that there was a Bobby Brown in the modeling world. Oh no, the makeup order. Oh, okay. Yeah, so I didn't know her. And I realized my battle is that they have no idea what I'm about to do. Yeah.

You know, you say, Michael Bivens called me and he got these four dudes. dudes, they're called boys to men. Or Dr. Drake called me and this kid, Calvin. And he wants him to come on and do this thing. And this is how, you know, I was not hip to it, but he wants to freestyle. You'll just give him a beat and he'll just come out of his head with whatever is in the environment. And when his album is ready, then you can have him on to do one, two, three, into the four.

With Dre, you know, and I'm like, okay, we call. we call Snoop and he doesn't want to do the show. Wow. And like why he says, you know, he's talking about the streets of Long Beach. I have respect. And I don't want to, you know, I don't want to lose the respect of the streets to do this late night television type of stuff. You know, I had to go to the studio and talk him into it. This is a guy who Snoop Dogg is more popular than Lassie now.

You know, the most popular dog ever. Yeah. It was the more popular dog ever. And did not want to be on television. But I'll never forget, he walked in the door with a blue hockey jersey. I remember. And we gave him a beat. And I don't think we'd ever seen freestyle on television, you know.

But those kinds of things. I saw a little kid on a tape do an Elvis impression. And I tell Paramount, I want to put this kid on. They say, well, you need tune-in numbers. Names, if you put prints, you get a tune-in number. You can put it in TV guide two weeks ahead of time. That was a game back then. And if you put some unknown, you know, this is not Star Search.

You can't put an unknown kid on until you, maybe in the fifth year. And so I would put people on it in a monologue. And I created this little spot where I put people on. But the kid was Bruno Mars. Right. And stuff like that. They didn't want Eddie Griffin. because he's too edgy

so during the monologue i said oh edie griffin because ed sullivan used to point in the audience when i was a kid there's diana rosh stand-up miss ross you know and so i'm like edie griffin what's up man hey come here for a minute and it's not on the booking sheet paramed

don't know what's going to happen now that one backfired on me because Eddie griffin did Michael jackson snorting cocaine a bit he does yes you know because he used to be a dancer so he does that you know he does all this little step.

And the lawyers had a hard time that next day at Paramount because basically he had done a routine on television about Michael Jackson snort and cocaine and dancing really was. But it was hilarious. Yeah, he was. It was hilarious. We would never have that kind of monoculture ever again

when everybody is tuned in watching one thing at once. Because I remember all those moments. We had no DVRs back then. No on demand. You couldn't go back and watch it on YouTube. You had to turn it on. Before we go back to, because I like, to go back to the beginning so people understand the story.

That's why you buy the book. Yeah, but that's why you're in this business. But you know what? One thing I've noticed, I've watched a lot of your interviews in the last week. So to my, when I look at your face, I see a light that comes on. Like, it's almost either a surprise light. Like, I'm surprised they really fuck with me. Like you, like, you look amazed when these guys like, like, I'm thinking myself,

I see no, no, no, he's the B. You know, gee, the icon. And then another thing that popped in my head is, I know you retired. Maybe he's ready for that comeback because it's just the, feeling, the energy. When I watch you come out and just delight and you're pointing at people and you're pointing at the bed, I'm like, God damn it, bring Arsenio back. So what is

going through your mind when you are doing these press runs and you're doing TV? What's going through Arsenio's mind? The light you saw, I mean, that was the light of a fan. The light of a kid from Cleveland who did a talk show in his basement. I had a little record player. I put the record

player on. There was a Temptation's greatest hits album. I'd play Get ready. I'd come out. I'd do a magic trick. I'd do a joke after taking the needle off the record and I would entertain the kids in my neighborhood with this talk show. So you see a guy who's dreamed it all his life and can't believe that I've dreamed it into existence. My mother used to say if you get good grades, you can go to Detroit and watch the Motown review with your cousins. For $5, you could see Stevie Wonder, you could see the temptations and they give you two pips. Well, sometimes for $5 what you want.

And that kind of stuff, and you grow up, and then you tour with the temptations when they had to stand in on the top tour. Rick James wrote them that track. Then one day Michael Bivens calls you and says, hey, I got four guys that idolize the temptations.

They're from Philly, called Boys to Men. But their album's not ready yet. When it's ready, I want to come. I said, oh, I got an idea. If they love the temptations, I got the temptations on Thursday. Let them come.

and blend in with the temptations. And you can imagine Paramount every night. It was a nightmare because they wanted less black. Now I got 15. Right. But my thing was like, I'd rather do six years my way than 20 years Johnny's way. And Johnny dug the show because I wasn't trying to be him. There was never a competition.

I was looking for friends of the show. I remember Alan King. a legendary old comic call me and he says your show put out an offer to me and I just want you to know

I love what you're doing but I'm a Johnny guy and that's when it hit me you got to get your guys and so that's when I started trying to go for the audience

that didn't have a talk show and that made it work you know because I'd been the Ed McMahon figure on a thing called Thick of the Night you know where I was like Alan Thick

and so I got to watch it go on and I got to learn from Alan's experience don't try to be Johnny try to come up with an alternative by the way when I was working for Alan Thick

there was a little boy I brought Johnny Gill on Alan Thick show I met Johnny Gill in Cleveland with Gerald Levert I bring Johnny Gill on the show and he gets numbers and that letting me know hey it's not that black people don't get numbers it's that we ain't trying it

he came on with Stacy Ladisaw and they did perfect combination on the side there's a little white boy with a cubs cap on. It's Alan Thick's son who always surfaced when there was R&B on the show. That was Robin Thick. That's another example of how we know who we are. We know who we want to be.

And that kid then knew he was Dwight Marvin Gay. Is this book, is your memoir, a closure for you, or is it correction? A lot of correction. I don't know if I, yeah, a little closure too, because I loved, putting that letter of resignation. A lot of people, barbershop journalists would say, well, you know, one night he snuck Faircon in there.

Paramount didn't know about it, you know, and interview Faircon. And, you know, when the fact is, Paramount has to green like that. They have to approve that. And so all the barbershop journalism, you get, because basically studios,

people think studios are above the fray. Yeah. And the . And what they don't understand, is that studios, just like a relationship. You have a breakup with somebody, and then you hear that he said, I left her because I was sick of her.

No, no, no. That is lying. And unfortunately, businesses like that, too. They want to position it sexy their way. And they say, well, we'll come over Tuesday and we'll talk about crafting a release to the press of what we're going to do from here on. And then Monday, some shit come out.

and you're like, you muck, you know, but I get to correct those kind of things and yeah, and have closure to. Because Alcena actually quit this show. And I remember when you first told me that, in my mind, I'm like, yeah, really? Like, when I heard that little thing, that dental tongular thing, you did,

I had my woman go in the garage, and I said, you gotta find that letter. And she found it. Because there were so many people that believe that, though, that you didn't quit the show. If you had never written this book, would you have ever, like, tried to clear it up any other place? Like, was that something that was sitting with you for a while? Yeah, and I had a lawyer say, why do you care? Look at your bank account.

Why do you care? And I'm like, because truth matters. Yeah. And, I mean, forget television. We as a people, the Puerto Rican gentleman also. He's talking about our board up, right? We as a people have to be careful not to let truth be buried. Mine is insignificant.

How about the history of our people and the way it's being changed, buried and hidden from future children? Truth is important. It's important when it's on y'all's side. So let it be important for us too. By the way, either way you left is gangster. Walking away because, hey, man, I want to do my black stuff. If it ain't working for y'all, it ain't going to work for me.

I'm out. Or, yeah, I bought Farrak hunting. on one time. Either way it works. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you get a free bean pie for that second. Brothers be very,

very supportive of you. But you know, here's the deal. Here's how you can understand it. At the end of the day, entertainment is cool, but Quincy used to tell me the word business is larger than the word show.

And my ratings and my income were attached. The higher the number, the more money I get. When Letterman gets CBS, because I'm in syndication. Now, I'm on stations most places, but my CBS stations help me succeed.

When Letterman comes into the game and all my CBS stations leave at the end of their term, I'm like, what am I going to do now? And so basically, and the money goes down. And now you're like, well, I have to look at a movie every night and read a Jackie Collins book. I'm like, I don't know if it's worth it for a million a year. You know, and the bottom line is I dashed when the money. also I'm from Cleveland I grew up down the street from Jim Brown

and I watched him leave on top I watched him start doing movies when they were still calling him to the locker room I always wanted to leave on top so the bottom line when the money changed a little bit and the numbers changed a little bit and I didn't see a future for syndication because I'm like they're going to put somebody

at ABC I'm going to lose those affiliate too so eventually there's a Kimmel and there's a Letterman and the bottom line is the money changed let's do something else I've gotten six years out of this I've been on the cover of Time magazine I spent two years knowing I was leaving and building a house on the beach

and bottom line is I'm cool with how it all went down I was always shocked that Fox just didn't get into the late night game it's funny I just sat with Conan O'Brien and he told me a cool story he says he was in a lunchroom cafeteria at Fox and he says you were very nice to me you won't remember me

but I was getting coffee and you showed me where other stuff was what I didn't realize is while I was taking over for Joan Rivers and doing the late show, because she eventually got fired and her husband killed himself. You remember all that stuff. I'm doing the late show. I'm doing the last

11 weeks of her contract before I go to do coming to America. Conan had been hired to create a show to replace me. So while I was there they had decided that I wasn't the guy. Wow. And they created a thing called the Wilton North Report. I went and did coming to America in Paramount was like,

when we finished this, if you want a talk show, let's try it in syndication. Now, something in syndication will never work again. Other than Byron Allen, no one's going to ever be able to make syndication money because the network's got it. When I came into it, CBS and ABC didn't want to be in the late night game, so they bought my show.

It was a perfect time. Life is all about timing and effort. Now, you mentioned coming to America, my favorite movie of all time. Yes, right? Let's talk about that movie and how it came together. And what was the decision to play so many different characters for both you and Eddie? The decision for me to play characters was Eddie saying, yeah, him too.

That's cool. You know, because he's the king, you know. But the movie, the movie was all hinged on the fact that America missed Eddie doing characters. They wanted that again. And I remember. Yeah, yeah. And I remember his manager saying. to me they want Eddie to do characters so when you guys go to America he'll be some of the people

that you meet and I'm like that's really cool now I'm just a straight out stand-up I'm not an impressionist and I'm not an actor I was honored when he asked me to also do some characters but that movie was supposed to be me as you know like a personal assistant or an undersized bodyguard coming to America from Zamunda with Eddie he saw me do stand-upes up and I did this bit about going to church in Chicago and going to the south side. So I do this preacher character. And he's like, that's all it is, man. You know, we do the prosthetics and you do that and you're a preacher.

And of course, my dad was a Baptist preacher. And so at any moment, I'm ready to preach. I was laughing at the day because I saw you post the video. You was like, I'm walking like the preaching and coming to America, but not because I'm pretending. Yeah. Life is crazy because, you know, at one point you're in your 20s and you're standing in front of a mirror. Jess, you've been through this, standing in front of a mirror, you're practicing the character,

you're looking at how Red Fox walks, and you're breaking it down, and then one day you turn 70. And you realize, now that's my walk. But it's loving you is wrong. I don't want to be like. I was going to ask, coming to America. I read somewhere, I think it was when an interview you did or something. It almost didn't happen, though, a couple of times at first because of the pitch. And then there was an issue with Eddie Murphy and somebody on set.

Yeah. Well, you know, they wanted him to do characters. And that made the treatment perfection. And he decided different things I can do when we come to America. And the other thing you reference is he had a conflict with Landis. And Landis is a brilliant director. And they worked that out. Thank God.

Yeah, thank God. My business manager, thanks God every day for me. That world just keep coming in. Residuals got to be crazy, right? Residuals royalty. Not as crazy as one might think. Okay, okay. You know, because you see it all the time on VH1 and on things owned by Skydance,

I guess it is now. By the way, the checks that he get are probably what you just described, you know? But the bottom line is I was a lucky actor to be. be involved and mine sometimes will be 13 cents in your show right has there ever been anybody that would talk about you but then won't come on your show and you let

it happen? Yeah once okay yeah one time but but for the most you know what? Who? Oh I forgot her name it was somebody who you know now that I think maybe there are jokes that were too much

but I forgot it, but she was a comic. Okay. Oh, another comedian. Yeah, it was a young comic, and I was like, no, not, no. Keep that same energy. Yeah. When you was calling me the F word on stage, you know.

But, um. The Gaisler from the 90s. Yeah, yeah. Which is rough on a black man because, you know, that whole history. Um, I was one of those guys that would put the business before my personal feelings. I've had Spike Lee, call me and Uncle Tom. But when it's time

for Spike Lee to promote his shit, I'm like, dude, I'm here. Come on. As a matter of fact, Spike was mad at me because I probably didn't give him the date. I think he wanted a certain date

and it sweeps and, oh, that date's taken, that Friday night, and he got mad at me and, you know, call me and Uncle Tom and it's like you would think that we would never speak, but I walked up to him

at a Laker game, a Laker Knicks game. grabbed him. Dude, come on through some time. Next prize. I never understood that, though. Like, how could Spike Lee call our senior hall of Uncle Tom? Like, you was doing do the right thing every night,

the way you was fighting for black. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, like I said, people, you make mistakes, you say stuff. A lot of times, by the fact when I hugged him, we talked and it was over, you realized in the moment he said that because he didn't get the date he wanted to promote you know, whatever the movie. Uncle Thomas is strong. Especially when you already had people that were

feeling like that about you. So for him to echo it made it, you know, bigger. Yeah, and that's probably why he went for that Achilles' heel or that spot. But I think sometimes to hold a grudge, you have to keep that ugly thing

with you. Sometimes it's easier for you to let it go. I see you have to go to go to. Okay, wait. I was trying to, I've been trying to get this end. You got really personal just about like a dating life as well too in this book. You talk about Pamela Anderson and Paula Abdul. And by the way, one of the reasons I wanted to tell the Pamela Anderson story is because I don't know if it's changed, but the older comics, that was it, that was the kind of advice. It's like, yo, Johnny Witherspoon in this book, he, stay away from

white women, you know, and you're a young, you're like, okay, you know, because there were no white women in my neighborhood. And I didn't know why. and of course the night I walked into the comedy store Pamela Anderson Donnie Witherspoon looked at me and did that tongular thing that you would I tell you

you know and just I wanted to take people through that growth process of what the OGs told you and you just had to dip in you're talking about like what you got a family damn me and Tupac had an argument

because Tupac in an article said something about Quincy and Arsenio and some of these brothers and these white women you see him with white. You know, it's like back then, that was a no-no to the older brothers who were talking to you. And they were trying to tell you that's a problem.

You know, that's, you know, and it was. Some people in your demo will not like you if they see you in Jet Magazine with a playmate. Yeah. You know, so he was trying to protect me. It's definitely the real story of Arsenio Hall. It's not just about, you know, a guy with a late-night show, man. Go get Arsenio a memoir.

available everywhere you buy books now and just salute to you my brother being the cultural icon and you absolutely I don't even know how you got my number thank you for the call because you gave me something to do for a couple years man and it was a lot of fun and I think I did it well I'm glad you did no this is one of the best entertainment memoirs I've ever read in my life that it said with no bias not just bias for publishing it not bias because I look at you as an inspiration but this is actually one of the best entertainment memoirs I ever read in my life Could I just add one more thing when you talk about dreaming and teaching and what the book does and all that kind of stuff?

What you just said is important. A black man saying to me on the phone, I want to do this because I want more black offers. I want more books in the hands of Nubian people. What you did calling me was so important and to do it with you. And that's what I told my publicity. I got to do it because he's trying to do something and I believe in what he's trying to do. And I knew your history and your parents being educators. It's so important for us.

Sometimes we don't work together. We will work with anybody but our own. I don't know why. And you know how you're going to. You know, I mean, you're a bit of fias. And there's a lot of that in us, even when we don't say it. But I f***es with this. And we got a good book out of it.

Arsenio freed me a long time ago because I, you know, I used to want to do late-night television because of Arsenia Hall. So, you know, you do. radio, then you get a talk show, and you think, like, I got to make it as a late night host, got to make it as a late night host. And when you was on press for coming to America, too, somebody asked you, they said, you know, who do you think is like the closest to you in this generation?

And you said, I would say somebody like Charlemagne, but he does radio and you watch it on YouTube. And, you know, that's like where people go to get, I guess, that so-called late-night fix it. I remember you said that. I was like, yo, I'm... Hey, that song, everything must change. Yeah.

The business is that way, too. That late-night format that Johnny created, he was the king, but for budget reasons and for the advancement of technology, this has to change. And what you're doing now, when Tupac would call me

on the landline and say, I need to come on the show, man, because they're trying to make me take an AIDS test before I do poetic justice. And I ain't going to really f***ing Janet, right? Okay. So why should I have to take an AIDS test? And back

then, we didn't have the word Twitter. We didn't have that. It wasn't a bluebird. It was a blackbird. I was the guy you called. And came and talked about your problems or the business of what you were going through. Ice-T. coming on and explaining cop-killer. Explaining

I'm not really killing cops. Arnold Schwarzenegger ain't really determinator. This is a piece of art trying to give a message. And so what I was doing when I watch you, when I listen to you, I'm like, he's doing it. And the medium has come to a different place. You know,

There's no curtain. There's no Ed McMahon. There's no Doc Severnson. But what Charlemagne is doing is what I did for this time, for this culture. And look how it's evolved. Yeah. You know, you got the two ladies now and of course envy. It was a friend for me because it just teaches you, you don't always have to be chasing something. And it goes back to gratitude. Gratitude turns what we have into enough. Hello. There you have. Arsenio Hall, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for joining us. Their memoir is out right now. Make sure you pick it up.

We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history. And let's be honest, that can be messy. There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you.

Focus on what's important here. Focus, focus, focus. So Nikki Minaj, this is really scary, y'all. So police rushed to Nikki Minaj's home yesterday morning after they got a call about a trespasser that was wandering on her property. So there was a man in the police call there was a man that was on her property seen on camera in the backyard of her house. They described that this man was a white male with a big red beard and long hair. He was wearing a gray track suit. So police got to the home and he was arrested on the scene.

That's how I'm agger to me. I'm going to be honest with you. Mm-hmm. Crazy. Yeah. That's not capital of Ryan White to me. Sounds very January 6th. But yeah, so Nikki was not home at the time, though.

Luckily, Nicki Minaj was not home at the time. So, yeah, Thursday. You can't never, you know, be too safe nowadays. No. I just be wondering where people's security be at. I guess probably has. But she wasn't home. So I'm sure she has a security system.

That's why they've seen who was in on the property. But I would feel like a Nicki Minaj and certain people still leave full security at their house even when they're not there. No, that's not how it works. Especially what just happened with Rihanna. Right. This was her house in L.A.? Yeah, this is the house in L.A.

No, it seemed like every week, every, like few days, like we hear about somebody trying to either break in a celebrity's house or pulling up to one of them celebrities' houses. It's so dangerous. Yeah, it is. The thing she wasn't home, though. Right, yeah, exactly. Well, in other news, so Jay Cole yesterday,

it was announced that Jay Cole signed a contract to play in the Chinese Basketball Association. sources tell ESPN. I know that's right. The association is the Nanjing Monkey Kings. I hate the name of that team. What? I thought I was going to mess it up so bad.

That's why I skipped that. Monkey Kings. What? But they be playing basketball? All right. Keep going to be. He's going to be the tallest one on the same, maybe. Is he the first time Jay Cole played ball.

J. Cole's on a couple of teams. She's not talking about that. Just let it go. Yeah, with the Chinese. You said Chinese, right? Yeah, Al-Ming was 7-6. I know. The multi-grams.

You know, a lot of them Jeremy Lynn played for the Knicks, he got busy. All right, well, that's good. Good luck to them. Jay Cole had committed to playing a few games for the Chinese team last year, but now he's following through.

This is the third time that he's played on a professional sports league. He played in Rwanda with the Rwanda Patriots. He also played for the Scarborough Shooting Stars, the Canadian Elite Basketball League in 2022. He played back in high school, North Carolina,

which he's been talking a lot about on this press run. I think that's done. because that's what life is about. Yeah, absolutely. Putting yourself in position to be able to do whatever it is the hell you want to do. That's right. Yes.

Well, in other news, Kanye West, I know I've been talking a lot about Kanye West and bully. Well, the SoFi Stadium show went down last night, and it was a scene. Just in attendance alone, right? Erica Bidu was there. She thanked Bianca Sensori, who is Kanye West's wife for inviting her. I saw Kaisanat there as well. Travis Scott came out with Kanye West. Northwest came out with Kanye West,

but the stage was the scene, not just because Kanye West was on the stage, but the visual of the stage. So it was set up like an earth, right? And Kanye is in the middle of the earth, and it changed colors, and it was moving, and it was amazing. How do you get on it, though?

How do you get on that stage? I'm not for sure. I couldn't figure that part out. It's like a bubble. For people I can't say this, it's like a bubble, so you can't walk up it. You almost have to be dropped on it,

which is dope. It was dope. This is fire. Yeah, no. And it was packed. Over 60,000 people there. We sold out. Yes, but there was a moment during the show

where Kanye had to get with the lighting team. Let's take a listen. Yo, pause, call. Stop it, stop, stop, stop. Yo, I don't like these, when the lights move like that, like a disco and shit. They don't go with the stage.

Don't do that. Stop doing that. Sorry, guys. Run it back. Like we always do with this time, I go, you know, stop, stop, stop, stop. You see that?

When it does that, Don't do that. That's corny, young. I run it up. Like we always do with this time. I go for mine. I get to shine. Let's know your hands up.

What is this an SNL skit? Stop, stop, stop, stop. Is this like an SNL skit or something? Stop doing the vibrating Vegas lights, bro. Like, we went over this in rehearsal. Yeah, put the earth up. Yeah. I run it back.

Like we always do with this time. I'll take that Kanye and rant over any other. Kanye, any day. Yeah, that wasn't too bad. That's just his art. I'm cool with that. That's the most beautiful thing about this evening. He did a great show.

He performed. Went through all the hits, too. That's it. Yes. Shout out to Kanye. What's some congratulations to him. He's headed to do the Wireless Fest next. And I know the London mayor was trying to distance himself from all of that in that decision.

But he's there. It'll be happening on July 10th through 12. I've been seeing some fans talking about the fact that Jay-Z and Kanye have shows on the same day in different places but yeah he's back outside so hey what if the rehearsal he told them to do that but hey like I would look in real time so we try to blame it on them

that would be funny that's some call you is very much so and I did see a projection too they're projecting that a bully will be hitting very highly in the billboard top 200 I believe it was reported or it's being reported that he's going to be potentially within the top 20

I love it did you finish this hand to it I've listened to it I haven't. I don't read a couple of records. I did listen to it. I finally finished it. It's like a soundtrack album. Like, it can be used for like anime or action movies.

You know what I'm saying? So you like it? I love it. I love it. See, so let me correct myself. It's more than 20. He's projected the debut number two on the Billboard 200 chart. That's projected.

So we'll see what happens. But yeah. That's it for the latest. That is the latest. Oh, yeah. And happy birthday, Marvin Gay, y'all. He would have been 87. Okay.

Look at the way. Shalda. I'm talking how to get saliva. All right. Forbes of the hour is a young woman named Niana Allen Bailey. She needs to come to the front of the congregation. She is a prime example that, you know, your trauma is not your fault, but you're healing. It's absolutely your responsibility.

We'll discuss. All right. Everybody else will do that when we come back and don't forget. Also, just fix my mess. 800-585-105.1. If you need any type of advice, call it right now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning.

Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a reed? The gay we donkey of the day and I deserve the... People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them.

It's time for donkey of the day. It's a reed, but you're so good at it. be a fake ass Charlemagne. There only one Charlemagne to go. Damn, Salamane, who you give a Dusty of the Day to then? Well, sexy red. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, April 2nd,

goes to a Seattle woman named Niana Allen Bailey. Okay, she's 20 years old, and she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the tragic killing of 52-year-old Amory Getter.

Okay, first things first, rest in peace, the Armory Getter. It saddens me that your life was tragically cut short for absolutely nothing. Let's go to ABC Ford News for the report, please. Prosecutors played this song in court. It's from a 10-year-old boy singing to his father, Amari Gheda, hoping he is now in a safe place after being killed while working as a rideshare driver in Seattle in August of 2023.

The emotional family pleading with the court to hold 20-year-old Neanna Alan Bailey accountable. Today there's only one life sentence, and that is for Mr. Getter. Alan Bailey was 18 at the time. Videos show her walking down 1st Avenue south, then approaching Gatiss car where he'd stopped to take a break from his shift as a lift driver. Alan Bailey approaches the door, shoots him, then steals the car. She then used a stolen car to go to Walmart, buy an Xbox and an Apple Watch, and then got her haircut.

As Gettas family and police wondered who could have murdered him and why. Within days, they found the car and arrested Alan Bailey. She denied killing him at first, but later admitted to what had happened. at her sentencing hearing, the defense said she was high on Xanax, marijuana, mushrooms, and drunk on tequila at the time of the murder. A young woman, she was 18 at the time, killed a human, left him to die in the street, and drove around in that person's car for a few days, running errands. You heard, went to go buy video games, went to go get their hair done.

This is why you can't just stay safe, okay? You got to stay dangerous. I don't care how old they are, okay? Don't play with them. All right, keep your guard up at all time. Okay, you heard the news report. Court record said Niana approached Gita's car, shot him, then stole the car and left him to die on the street.

Now, when I hear stories like this, I have to hear more details, even though I know people are sick and they're violent, just pure evil. My mind sometimes won't let me just accept that. So when I saw that defense attorneys called a doctor to testify about Niana's drug use, I was like, okay, now we're starting to come together, 18 years old, drug use. The doctor said Niana was abusing alcohol and drugs. She heard it. Zanax, Perkinset, mushrooms, tequila. She was high out of her mind before killing Gita.

Defense attorneys outlined Alan Bailey's childhood also, okay, which involved police responding to her home on reports of abandonment and drug use. The defense said Ms. Allen Bailey has known nothing but a life of neglect. She deserved better. This is why I couldn't be a lawyer. Okay, I am extremely sorry, Neon's life was the way it was. But just because you experienced hurt as a child doesn't mean you get to be the adult that hurts people. Okay, 18 is an adult. All right. I completely

overstand the trauma. All right. Neanna experience, but we have to remember our trauma is not our fault, but our healing is absolutely our responsibility. This young lady never even stood a chance. Okay, Neanna, you was out here being a reflection of your depression. You was out here being a reflection of your dark. You was out here being a reflection of your ugly. And all that should be taken into consideration. I wish you had gotten some help before you took a life. But man, none of that is a get out of jail free car. Okay, you must deal with the consequences of your action. Sometimes I wish humans had a kill switch,

meaning that whenever you are about to commit a senseless act of murder, okay, you die first, all right? Right there on the spot. As soon as you are about to take somebody out, you know, the same way they have those kill switches that are anti-theft, those safety devices that interrupt the vehicles, vital circuits, and prevent it from starting, we need that same thing for humans, okay?

As soon as you're about to commit a heinous act of violence against someone for no reason, everything shuts off. Okay, hearts, lungs, kidneys, every critical organ just fails. That's what I wish would happen. But that's not reality. Okay, the reality is people are hurting,

and they are projecting that hurt on to other people, but that's not an excuse to take a man away from his family. I understand you was 18, but I don't care. All right? This brother had two kids. Okay, Niana, you didn't just steal a car, you stole a father away from his family, all right? A life that's never coming back.

A family destroyed forever. I understand in the picture the defense attorney is painting for you, but this story isn't about you. It's about the life that was taken. Yes, trauma can explain behavior, but it doesn't excuse it. You know I'm a big advocate for mental health. I understand you as on drugs. But I don't care.

You wanted to escape reality so bad that you destroyed someone else's reality forever. Now you have to deal with the consequences of that. please give Nihanna Allen Bailey the biggest he-ha. And that's why it's very important for, you know, kids to get help early but also listen to the adults in your life because I guarantee you somebody might have been trying to get through

to this young woman for a while. That's right. And now she's made a decision that is going to cost her 20 years of her life. Yo, how do you assume all of those drugs? Like, that's at one time. And I'm wondering what she's high for the next few days for her just to go live her life

like it was nothing. Of course. I do. I believe that she was. You want to go buy an Xbox? Right. Get your head cut? Done. Oh, get it done. Oh, I was going to say. So she was a stud. But then you got shrooms. You got, what you got liquor? What else you say? Xanax. It's just crazy. Like, damn, what you were you trying to kill yourself? What's you run away from? Yeah. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, Shalame.

Hello Annie, how are you? Refresh your memory just real quick. Um, where me and my husband are getting ready for our oldest to graduate from Pikes School. Mm-hmm. So he was setting up the, um, one of the graduation requirements and he needed to get my face because I'm the one who does all of the information. Gotcha.

So I take some message, Textman just come through his phone and says, babe, I don't feel so well. And I never said nothing to him or anything like that. Oh, yes, I do remember. This is basically like the work wife situation. Yep, exactly. Got it.

Okay. So now he came in the house. It's like after 1 o'clock. Class is over at 11. I wake up. He's not there. I call him. He don't ask.

He come in the house. He put the alarm on. And I go over there to him. I'm like, why are you just getting in the house after, after, one o'clock. He said, oh, I had the workplace, I had the clothes up, and then I wanted to get something to eat.

I cook every day. You could have ate what I cook. However, then I said, okay, I said, you want to play like you're single? I said, I'm done. I walked back in the room. He slept on the couch. I woke up to a text message saying, let's do marriage counseling. I agreed to it.

That was about three weeks ago. He still hasn't made the appointment for marriage counseling. I'm still trying to save up money, so I'll be leaving in July. should I believe them, leave them. We've been married for like, we've been together for 24 years, married for 19. Yeah, I feel, this is going to sound crazy. I just feel like, hmm, I'm not going to, okay, let's start at. I don't want to just, I don't want to just dump the relationship of the years that we've been through.

It's my best friend. But even as that, like, what are you, you trying to be with another girl for what? like you know usually he's not his girlfriend yeah that's just the way she walked in some cases when you've been married for a long time like that yeah

both men and women they seek outside comfort you know to like you know they'd be wanting to see if they still got it or just being with the same person like to some people you know for so long at you know people end up craving something new especially if it's right up

under their nose every day and he go to work with his you know he worked with this girl and she's probably younger she's probably you know making passes at him younger right absolutely now what i don't like right is that and i'm not justified what i just said does not justify his behavior but what i don't like is he texted you you said you woke up to a text that said let's do marriage counseling first of all that i wouldn't even let you go to sleep without saying that to you i wouldn't you know i i i wouldn't have that's not a text that's something that you when you wake up, you open up your eyes.

He should have been right on the other side of the bed and ready to have that conversation with you like, yo, okay, listen, I heard what you said last night. I don't want you to leave. I really don't. Let's do marriage counseling. Because it would sound much better. It would be way more impactful.

And you would believe it more if he were to say it to you, not text it to you because you threatened to leave him the night before. If you really want to do it, I haven't you made an appointment yet. You still haven't made an appointment. It's like you're trying to brush it under the rest. so where it's just like, okay, we're going to keep going because we have to walk together because his graduation stuff together.

Yeah, because that was to keep you holding on a little bit longer, you know? You know what I'm saying? This is just like a temporary a temporary bandaid. You know what I mean? But I think what you should do is you should leave and then you see how he acts. And no, this is not a test. It's actually a test

for you as well to see how strong you are without him. I mean, it's cliche, but it's been a saying that's been around forever. it like you can do battle by yourself you're not happy what why are you staying why are you putting yourself through this and then he keeps leading you on doing just enough to shut you up for a while until the next thing come because like why didn't you answer the phone why didn't you oh i was trying to get like come on i'm married for you i'm married to you for 19 years we've been

again for 24 years like i i know you you know me well and and i know you so you should i think you should leave and this and it's a test to you it'll be a test to him as well but it's more so test to you to see how strong you are without him because what if he don't come back then what? Then if you're just doing that to test him then that's for nothing. You need to test yourself as well. Like look

can you be without him? I mean I noticed your best friend but best friends don't treat best friends like that, you know? Yeah. Yeah. That's why I was thinking to. If you really want to do marriage counseling, I check my insurance on good, your have to do. You would have made the appointment by now. It's been for a week.

Absolutely. I think Jess gave some good advice but just know that man got somewhere to go if you leave okay? Right, so that's why she need to leave anyway. Because he's going to go there anyway. Give him some time to spend with his little girlfriend for a couple days. Good luck, Mom. I had that conversation with him like Jess said.

Right. Okay. All right. I appreciate you, Jess. No problem. I need another follow up. When you move out, when you leave, I need to know what happened. Just fix my mess. Why the hell would you hang up? What? Because you was closing. I appreciate the fact that she's not too concerned about her husband and his girlfriend though

what do you mean she don't sound too concern she sounds like she wants to work on her relationship like she's like she's and that's good like she like I think it's disgusting when wives get involved with the affairs of that man and his girlfriend let him be and work on your relationship is wrong with you work on relationship with your husband because the marriage is completely different to him and his little girlfriend

it was yesterday you better not I'm told him hello who's this this is Ty hey Ty what's your question for Jess good morning good morning Jess okay I got in date last December congratulations I don't know if you want to say that I guess

I'm sorry, go ahead So I got engaged Last December I really liked the guy I've had some really bad relationships In the past So I thought this was a great thing But I caught him

More than once Like kind of text wording people And the last one that I caught The girl was I called her Okay And you know I'm smart enough to get the number

And I called her And she was talking about how he was saying that he didn't know if he wanted to get married that they were old friends she lives in another state he said that he was going to fire out and they had all this unfinished business

and everything and I was upset okay but that's not why I'm calling I'm calling because I have a co-worker who like kind of flirted with me a little bit because he thought I was cute right and he saw the text message And he brings it up every chance he gets.

It is the most annoying thing. Oh, your husband brings up the coworker compliment every chance he gets. The fiancé brings up the co-worker. I mean, I'm sorry, the fiancé. You haven't been caught three times talking to people inappropriately. And the worst part is I never even reciprocate. You might be like, oh, you're looking beautiful today. Thank.

That's all that was said. How does he know that the guy said that? You told him that? No. at one point my phone is always unlocked. I'm one of those people that I believe in transparency. But also when the text messages come up, you can see him on the screen.

And so your co-worker just text you and was like, you look good. Did he know you're engaged? Yes, he does. And he does not care, obviously. Disrespectful. Yeah. Well, I mean, he just was like,

you looked beautiful today. And I was like, thanks. You know what I mean? It was like, you just said thanks. Like, you didn't even say that's an inappropriate. I appreciate it, but that's appropriate. I am engaged. Yeah, I'm not going to feed into that thing.

That's it. All right, cool. So he saw it. So wait, because you said you got married in December. No, but you were engaged. No, I got engaged. Got it. Okay, I thought you said you got married.

That's why I said congratulations. Okay, okay, I got you. All right. So you are engaged right now. Right now you're thinking about not walking down the aisle because y'all ain't even make it to the office. to yet and your man is talking about

flying girls out and everything he has unfinished business in other cities or whatever so did you set down and talk to him about it? I did and his reasoning was well sometimes you

make me feel upset and I'm like that's part of a relationship that's going to be enough to make you want to run out for somebody else and his excuse was well, I'm not quite ready to get married yet. Then what did you give me the ring for? Right.

So look, what do you now? Okay, so boom. Now what you're going to do? You? See, that's what I was asking, but I feel like I'm 46. So I don't do not. Don't you sit here and reflect on your age and all of that. I don't believe in no goddamn ageism.

Don't get me that. I don't care. So this is a podcast about video games. Kind of. It's also about friendship. Definitely. And chaos. Unavoidably.

Welcome to It's Dangerous to Go Alone. A podcast where we talk games, culture, nostalgia, and immediately go off topic. There is no gatekeeping. There is no skill check. If you win a game on Easy Mode, we support you. If you've never touched a controller, honestly, same energy for some of us. It's fun. It's chaotic.

It's friendship with a loose gaming theme. And somehow we keep getting away with it. You should listen. Stream It's Dangerous to Go Alone on the free IHeart Radio app. Or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Lori Siegel, a long-time tech journalist, and consider my new podcast, mostly human, your bridge to the future. Anyone can now be an entrepreneur, anyone can build an app, and it's very empowering. Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future, and we're going to break down what all of this innovation actually means for you.

What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating these AI companion, they're actually dating the companies that create this. We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history. And let's be honest, that can be messy. There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you. But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment. Mostly human will show you how. My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit. The reason I say agency is because if we can give power back to people,

then I think that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health. Listen to mostly human on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wag Ageddon change the paddock forever?

That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than than 75 years.

Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Sond's, correct? I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives.

to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Gregalespian and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young.

This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona. Listen to Love Trapped Podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, you're probably a vibrant, beautiful 46-year-old lady.

Ain't nobody worrying about that. You don't be desperate because, girl, cut it out. He told you he's not ready. You leave his ass where he at, all right? He ain't the only one that's going to propose to you and marry you. He told you he wasn't ready. Shut up. He 51.

Girl, his old ass, whatever. He's going to die before you anyway. She wasn't old. Now you say he old. She 46. He's 46. He's 46.

He's old enough to know what the hell he wants. He got on that knee and then trying to be on his knees somewhere else. Ain't nobody playing. Girl, leave him. I don't want to hear you 46 because he because he 51. You know how many bad bitches. Well, you know, bad seasoned bitches out here. It's a lot of.

swat him. I don't care. I don't want to hear that. Right. Now, you listen to Jeff if you want to. You pre-menopausal. Wow. I don't give a damn. I don't care. That man kept the real water. He told you, look, I'm not ready to get married. And my question would have been the same. So why would you go through all the motions and take me through the antics of proposing to me? He don't know. It was just something to do at the time. He owed him bored. But he's still flying bitches out and all of that. Would you rather be married

than being cheated on and being miserable? You know, or... No, I didn't do that already. Exactly, and you want to do it again because you feel like you're 46. You too old to find somebody. Girl, please. All right.

I haven't made sure I wasn't sure. Yeah, this is tough love. I don't care. This is none. Like, some of us need to wake up. You pray about it, though. Yeah, she should pray about it, but the man already told her.

He's not ready for marriage. Well, how are you going to be ready? You already, 50? You half of a hundred? Can I give just one little other perspective? No way. Give another perspective. I just want to say salute to your fiancé.

I'm so sorry he has to deal with this. He probably doesn't want to get married because he saw that man complimenting you and you said things. That right day will give a man trust issues. But he's not saying. He was doing that way before. That was way before. Yo, and then, no, don't listen to him.

Don't worry about it. You better take what I said in account. I ain't playing. Good luck, Mama. Because I think that's crazy. Thank you. And I want you all to know I love the breakfast club. We love you too.

We love you back. Every single morning. I don't know about that. And 46 is not old either, by the way. It's not. It's not. Thank you, ma'am. And we love you back. We love you more than than his old ass. That's crazy. Just fix my mess.

800-585-105-1. When we come back, we got the latest with Lawrence. So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. To the latest. Let's get to latest. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this.

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

Good morning. So, Brandy. Say, good morning to Husky. Brandy is clarifying, or not clarifying, but Brandy is adding more color and context into basically why we didn't see Ray J at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She covered Parade Magazine this month, celebrating her new book, Fases, which is a memoir.

It is out right now. And they ask her how Ray J is doing. Let's take a listen. There's distance right now. I guess few things that he's been doing in the public eye that I don't condone and I just feel like loving him from afar right now is best for me and my peace. My life with Ray and my connection with him is all throughout the book and you can see my love for him. It's just it never waivers. I understand it.

Yes. I can totally understand it. As we said in the beginning now, she also talked about how in her book she doesn't go into the night that she went to prime with Kobe and why. Let's take a listen. Kobe was such a special soul. I had a beautiful chance to meet him, go to the prom with him, work with him on Moesha, and just admire him from afar, just everything that he was able to do. I wasn't in regular school at the time. So when I met Kobe, I just was like, oh my God, I would love to go because I would never get the opportunity. If it wasn't for him, I never would have gotten the experience. It was so much fun. We just had a great time. Just being amongst, you know, people my age and just regular teenagers. It just felt, cool. Yeah. So she's clearing up some things there. Yes. Now, in other news

shifting gears, completely, Iceman is on the way, allegedly. When? I don't know, but Ben the Dyn was on stream with DDG, and they were talking about the fact that Drake has had to go back. You sound like OVO Eli and works up there. Every day I walk in, he says, Iceman on the way!

He's coming soon! Drake said it in his, except the speech that he did for Fergie, too. That's all we know. We just don't know when. But Benadon is saying that Drake has had to go back and scrap music let's take a listen hey my ice man on the way jack ice man on the way did you hear it already i heard like six seven songs yeah but i went back when i had heard it i was like okay i said this going crazy i was like and i told the boy i was like we need it we want to hear bars like we want to hear some more bars because he had like he had like some dope ad like turned-th-cloat club he had like

you know what i'm like bro we need i'm trying to hear some bar and he was like you know what send him up and then he said he said i went back and scratched so much He said, I'm dropping balls in this. That's dope. I want to hear some bars. I like when Drake wraps. I'm excited about it. I like when Drake raps, too.

But Drake hasn't really recovered from the Kendrick battle. Oh, here you go. There you go. He's going to be writing paragraphs in the caption, too. Drake has put a bunch of things. Drake hasn't really recovered from the Kendrick battles. Please be specific. So they won't clip this out of context.

You just said yesterday he was appealing this lawsuit. So clearly, clearly Drake is just having some problems in the studio because he don't know what to offer to people. Because of all the slander and backlash that he's received since the battle, a lot of it caused on himself, because

you know, he wanted to suit a record label. So he's probably just confused. He probably just scared to drop. So he got to go home. Drop, drop, Drake. Drop, drop, drop, Drake. Hey, drop. You got to go back home. You scared to drop, Drake? Go back to where it all started.

He got to go back down. You know, he got to go see Wayne. You gotta go see, you know, Nikki. I think he got to go back to the window. Not where it's starting. He started across that border. I just think he needs some bars. He ain't left since not like us came out.

I think he needs some bars. I think he just needs to come with some bars. I think he needs to. I just don't want to handle singing. I think he needs a battle. Not this time. I think, who not a battle. He don't need another battle.

He needs a balance of both. I don't think Drake needs nothing. All of these people care too much about the perception of others. Like Drake need to be worried about people like OVO, live, people that got hours tattooed on their ass. Oh my God. That devout fan base, that cult-like fan base that he has that loves you,

that's who you need to be thinking about. He's not thinking about that. He's worried about dropping and just receiving backlash. Just go bars and clubs. I just don't want to hear no singing. I don't want to hear singing. Why you don't want to hear singing? We just did the last album was singing.

I want to hear just straight rap. But that was a collab album was singing. That was what we're singing. The band has been singing since day one. Yes. Why would I stop singing? Why would I stop doing what I've been doing since day one?

He's been making club records and talking to the ladies too. Exactly. And I'm not mad at that. I'm talking about the full sing-songy records. I don't want to hear. So why scrapping? Why scrap anything? If it's dope music, it's dope music.

Drake could come with bars and you'd be like, this is not enough bars or it's always going to be something. After that battle, people are always going to have something to say about Drake. To your point, I feel like. Maybe. Right. I think good music silences all of that. I do.

Yes. And dropping the lawsuit. Dropping the lawsuit. Dropping the lawsuit and dropping good music silences a lot. Dropping the appeal, whatever the hell of it is. I think singing to appeal to the women is better because a lot of the women don't care. They don't give a damn about him filing a lawsuit.

But the guys, a lot of guys ain't jocke in that. They don't like that. So he got to get in the stew and sing for us. And the little snippets that came out where he was still referencing the beef and all that, the schoolboy Q ever's corny. Lame, leave that alone. No. Yeah, it's okay.

You can't spend the block. Ain't no reheating up them cold french fries, not even with an friar. They're going to clip that today. Yeah. He's still. What is that? That's the truth.

Not Kendrick made it where Drake can't even reheat his French fries. Not even whatever. It's going to be like. Shalom may. He said Drake can't even go to McDonald's. But you know why? Because then when he brings it up, what do people start talking about? The ass kicking he got to him.

Why people don't have to bring him how he kicked meek-mill-ass? Why are we bringing it up again? What did you just tell you? That ain't have nothing to do with me. No, me-to-shall-law. Now, that ain't, I'm going to be honest with you. What the problem? You're talking about.

Nothing to do it. That was the propaganda. That's the propaganda. You bring up Drake, you bring up that he lost the Kendrick, but he won to Meek. What that got to do with anything? Because he's won before. I'm a Cowboys fan. We won in the 90s.

I got nothing to do with this year. You just say that. Like he never won before because he lost the Drake. I mean, because he lost the Kendrick. He's won before. And? Yeah. This ain't, this is about him right now and the perception of him. And the perception to him is that he's scared to drop.

He's scared to drop because he cares about what everybody else. Yes, of course. I've seen been coming for a long time. Of course he's scared to drop. He knows that the public opinion will be definitely critiquing this album. So he wants to make sure every album. He wants to make sure he has the best product and the best energy out there. I'm not mad at that. So why he don't do what he did and why he don't go to Atlanta and go hook up with little baby?

No, he can't do that. Kendrick told us that's what you do. I understand that, but he can't worry about what Kendrick says. Do you realize he's put out music since. Yes. And the music has been, was received well. Yes. We know that. It's always everything else surrounding the music. Like the lawsuit to the record ladies So what does he rap about? Remember there was a rumor that he worked with future?

Right, right, right. Yeah, no, he's just, I just want him to rap. Okay. Well, Iceman is coming, and when we get a date, we'll let you know. You're overthinking this, Arbor. I'm telling you. You got people that love you. That boy over there got an hour on his neck and his ass.

That boy got an hour tramp stamp. It's men out here with owl tramp stamps, and you worry, that's what you need to be catering to. Yeah, these niggas having Drake parties and all. Like the Drake-looking parties. They still do that. They do that weekly. All the men out there with owl tramp stamps go online today and do an owl tramp

and show people your owl stamp tramp to let people, let Drake know y'all still ride. Not looking back at it. All right y'all, well that was the latest, ice men coming soon. Brought to you by? Brought to you by Top Dog Law. Any accident? Yes, I just feel so bad for Drake sometimes. Why?

These people are rich. Why y'all be mad? I can tell you a million people to feel bad about it. He's not one of them. He's not a victim. He's still an artist. He's not a victim. He's not rich as hell.

He's not a victim. He's rich as hell. Like, what are we talking about? It's just a craft. This is a art. Because he's a rap. Why? Because he lost a rap battle.

And people heard him just like he heard. Stock, man. You're hurting. I understand the propaganda now. Stop. Stop. Sean and Lenard. All he did was lose a rap battle.

I lose a lot. What? Maybe he should call top dog low. This is crazy. People switched up on them. I understand. Maybe he should call top dog law. They figured out for a lot.

A lot of people, it might work for him. Any accident. I feel sorry for drinking. This is really, you're, man. I feel sorry for your boyfriend. Oh, any accident, but that's small. Okay.
