And then they make him change the passwords every other day. So he didn't know the passwords. So then we had to go forget passwords nine times. It was bad. It was really.

Starting point is 00:06:10 Yeah, rest of peace. John Witherspoon, yeah. So we'll talk to all of them when we come back. So don't go anywhere. We have front page news. This is day 1,000 of the shutdown. Mimi will be giving us all the breakdowns. It's the breakfast club.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ NV. Jess O'Larish. Y'allamee and the guy, we are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Now on Thursday night football, the Broncos beat the rate is 10 to 7. Now, the Broncos record is 8 and 2. Raiders, record is 2 in 7. What's up, Mimi?
Starting point is 00:06:41 Good morning, NB. Jess, how y'all doing this morning? Good, girl, good morning. Good, good, good, good. All right, so we started this morning with a major development in the nation's food crisis. A federal judge is forcing the Trump administration to get rid or excuse me, to give food aid following that national stoppage of the SNAP benefits. So that stoppage, it held, withheld SNAP benefits from 42 million Americans, including 16 million children.
Starting point is 00:07:06 They were left in limbo by that shutdown. And the judge said families have gone without for too long and failing to act any longer would cause irrepetable harm. Now, the Trump administration had initially planned to only send partial payments this month, saying the program had run out of funds. but the judge, he rejected that plan, ordering the administration to fully fund November benefits by today. Now, even if that means tapping into billions from other nutritional programs, the Trump administration says it will appeal that decision, but for now the order stands, meaning states are rushing to get those funds out,
Starting point is 00:07:41 but it could take weeks and in some cases months before those benefits are restored. Now, it's a major victory for families who need that assistance and a coalition of cities and nonprofits who sued to keep this program alive, but the Trump administration, they are not happy about being forced to pay those benefits. When asked about it, both President Trump and J.D. Vance, they are weighing in. Let's listen to what they have to say. It's an absurd ruling because you have a federal judge effectively telling us what we have to do in the midst of a Democrat government shutdown, which what we'd like to do is for the Democrats
Starting point is 00:08:14 to open up the government, of course, then we can fund snap, and we can also do a lot of other good things for the American people. And you know, one other thing, our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars, could be anything. We can't give everything away. Biden went totally crazy, gave it to anybody that would ask, gave it to people that were able-bodied, had no problem. That wasn't meant for that. It was meant for people that had real problems, in many cases, people that were down and out, people that could be saved. It wasn't meant for people that could do whatever they want, that people that say, well, I don't think I'll work.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I'll just, you know, collect this money. I want people to really think about that, right? Like, really think about it. The president and vice president is saying it's absurd that a judge is saying to restore full benefits for millions of people that need it. So for people that voted for Trump and people that voted for JD Vance and what they stood on, this really, really think about it. They're saying it's absurd.
Starting point is 00:09:13 They're saying it's crazy. They're saying how dare they pass an order that says, here's the snap benefits, to allow people to get food. That is insane. And then keep on, yo, then keep, every now and then
Starting point is 00:09:25 he keep throwing biting in there. But it's like, yo, I mean, every time keep going biting, but now this administration is under you. This your administration, yo,
Starting point is 00:09:32 just lift it. You're still, you still like keeping people from being able to eat, pay their bills, get paid for working, all of that. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Like my mother, she runs a child care preschool and a lot of her parents got to get, they pair with vouchers. They've been cut off. Like they've been, you know, it's not just snap. It goes far beyond not being able to put food on the table.
Starting point is 00:09:58 But Jess, Mimi, they said it's absurd that a judge is allowing people to get food and money to help pay their bills. Yeah. Like that is crazy. And they keep saying, they keep playing a political game with people's lives or the Democratic shutdown. No, people just want to eat. They just want their food. Yeah. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And then even in that sound by, Trump going a little further. by just insulting people who actually need it by saying, you know, able-bodied people, they can work, you know. We've all seen the long lines. We've seen the food banks. We've seen all of that. And so it's, you're right. And people with jobs receive SNAP too.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's like, like, yo, you, you know that everybody who receives SNAP does not sit home on their ass, like, chilling. Like, people work. People run businesses. People got kids to feed. And that little bit of money that does help on SNAP. That's just an addition. Like, that's an addition.
Starting point is 00:10:52 People still got to live. They still got to live. And prices are going up everywhere. But meanwhile, there is a little glimmer of hope. There's a little movement on Capitol Hill today. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, he is expected to hold a vote, which would be the 15th vote to try and reopen the government. Now, this one will look just a little bit different. This version would amend that short-term funding bill that's been already passed by the House into what we're calling a mini-bus spending package.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Now, that's covering health. care transportation and housing, and it would extend the funding until January instead of November 21st. Also on the table, a possible Senate vote on the Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are set to expire soon. That's been the major sticking point in the shutdown fight. But here's the catch. Republicans can't guarantee that that vote will actually happen. They're asking Democrats to vote yes to reopen the government on the promise that they'll maybe get a vote later on those ACA subsidies. Republicans say this will test whether Democrats are serious about ending the shutdown. But Democrats, meanwhile, say they are united, but not necessarily ready to support a deal that
Starting point is 00:11:56 doesn't fully protect those health care subsidies. So we'll continue to watch what happens with that today. And coming up in the next hour at 7, we'll break down all that chaos that's happening at the airport. We'll tell you what's behind the slowdowns, what it means for your flight, and how to get your money back if you rather just skip all the chaos. All right. And everybody else, get it off your chest 800 585151 if you need to vent you can hit this up I just want to say one last thing before we go you know it's partly I would say
Starting point is 00:12:22 the press and the movies fault right because growing up as a kid you would think that if somebody was on EBT or somebody was on welfare or if somebody was on it was because they were broke they didn't want to work they were lazy and people have been running with that for a long time but it's more than just that right
Starting point is 00:12:38 it's people that just can't afford it they might be in a dire situation where they lost their job they might have lost a family member but they might have a bunch of kids where they need some help. There's a lot more into it than just, oh, they're just broken lazy. No, there's a lot more into that than that. But get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk.

You know, the sad thing is you never know what somebody's going through. You never know what's happening with somebody's life, right? Because anybody else would have been like, oh, it's an amazing time. You know, I scored my first touchdown.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Things are going great, but you don't know what he was battling, what he was dealing with. I heard he had some of his mother's ashes on a chain around his neck and that was the same day I think his mother passed or something like that Damn Ernest Yeah, I'm here
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yeah But definitely rest in peace and condolences to that brother Thanks for the memories All righty Ernest I'll go weekend You too You too Hello who's this
Starting point is 00:15:30 This is Tashika from South Carolina Guess what Hey good morning Good morning y'all I love listening to y'all morning. We love you too, Tashika. Absolutely. I want to get off my chance. The president and vice president thinks that all the Americans, you know, just sit around and wait for snap. Just recently,
Starting point is 00:15:54 two years ago, I went from working two or three jobs to no job because I was diagnosed with kidney failure. And I had to get on dialysis. And I couldn't work, you know, every day. because I had treatment, well, I have treatment three days a week for four hours. So I still have to take care of my 12-year-old. And getting a disability check does not already cover all my bills. So that SNAP helped with our food. And now I didn't pay it all my bills for the month, and I didn't have enough for grocery. You're right.
Starting point is 00:16:36 So I have to find food bait. either in Psalter or I have to go to Columbia and I haven't had a look yet. So it's just, you know, horrible that they think everybody just sit around on their ass
Starting point is 00:16:53 and wait for snap. That's true. That's name. Well, Tashika, if you go to Charlemagne's page, see the guide. He does a lot for the food banks and the Carolinas. So he could guide you to what you could actually go to. And we were
Starting point is 00:17:07 talking behind the scenes, me, me, me, And, Jess, we were talking about the sad thing about, you know, welfare and EBT. We were raised to think that it was a hood thing, that it was a black thing, that it was a ghetto thing. And the truth of what the matter is, it's not at all. Yeah, I mean, there's more white people on it. I realized that when I had to get on it. Yeah, there's more white people on it than anything else. And it's a tool to help people.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Like you said, you were working. You had two, three jobs. You lost your job and needed some help because you had treatment. Like, that doesn't mean you're lazy. And that's how I think. Thank you. Look at it. So I want to tell everybody out there, if you do need help, definitely check your local food bank, see what you can do and what communities they have out there for people.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I know a lot of people are supplying foods. I know for Thanksgiving, they're supplying food. So definitely check it. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, Mama. Thank you. Love you. You have a good one. Love you, too.

Starting point is 00:29:24 who passed away it was announced by the team Yesterday, he passed away at age 24. So the team released a statement. They say it is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Neeland tragically passed away this morning. Now, TMZ is reporting exclusively following some dispatch audio that they received from a 911 call that Marchan died after an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound while going through a mental health episode.
Starting point is 00:29:52 So according to the report and according to the 911 audio, he had been texting his girlfriend some disturbing messages, so she got on the phone with police, she was also trying to get in contact with his agent, she let police know his girlfriend right away that, you know, he suffers with mental health issues and that he was armed, and she said to police, you know, he'll end it all, like she was trying
Starting point is 00:30:12 to get help to him. He also had group texts, his family, according to this 911 call and said goodbye. So, you know, this is a very sad situation altogether. And nobody, they don't know why, what got him to that point? Well, no, they don't know why, I got him to this point
Starting point is 00:30:29 that no reports that I see but before all of this police in the area were trying to pull him over for a traffic stop and he fled from police the police then found his car
Starting point is 00:30:38 he wasn't in the car and then they found his body later at a porter party but we don't know you know what may have you know and with mental health you know it's just so sensitive you don't know
Starting point is 00:30:49 but yeah the team the NFL and the team were also calling police you hear that on the dispatch audio as well them trying to also get him help as well too. So, you know, just a sad situation. So I just wanted to take some time to send an RIP to him and some comfort
Starting point is 00:31:03 to his family. Definitely. Some condolences to his family. Absolutely. I'm doing some help. So sad. Some help. Like I know we talk about, I know Shara's a big advocate for mental health, but like it needs to be, you know, when they get drafted and things like that, is it like it needs to be like an evaluation? Not
Starting point is 00:31:19 like to keep them from playing, but get them therapy so you know, they can always be okay. They're mental, you know? Because a lot of men a lot of young guys too they don't talk about it I mean it's in the conversation now but they don't talk about their
Starting point is 00:31:35 feelings that they have behind closed doors and things like that because it could have been prevented had he gotten help you know what I don't know exactly I don't know exactly what help he was or wasn't it does seem like everyone in his close circle knew and the team because the team was also calling police and stuff
Starting point is 00:31:51 like that so I don't know exactly what they were doing but it is yeah like you said it's just when people are going through these things They need, yeah, it's so real And you never know what people are going through Never Well, shifting gears In other news
Starting point is 00:32:05 So we did a report sometime back Nicky Minaj and Sizut We're going back and forth on the ex Right And Sizzo was like, what is happening Because what I do She was very confused at the time So you know I did the report
Starting point is 00:32:17 And just updated people that I had spoken to a punch from TDE Who manages Siza And he had told me then That they did not know each other side of an attempt to do a song together that didn't work out. So Siza sat down with GQ and she's talking
Starting point is 00:32:32 about, you know, topping charts, making new music, tour with Kendrick, all these things and they bring up that situation. And she says, I don't, when asked about the Nicki Minaj back and forth, she says, I don't know her. We have no connection to each other. There's no backstory. Like, there was no through line narrative.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It was just like Rock Nation. I don't know where it came from. That's not even a place to correct a narrative that I don't got nothing to do with. it was a little strange it was very like why but also you know whatever I guess they also asked her too because you remember when the whole Drake
Starting point is 00:33:04 and Kendrick thing was at its height Sizzle was in the middle unfortunately only because she is on tour with Kendrick their TDE but she's notably she knows Drake they're close they've done songs together she had one of the biggest records in the summer last huge song yeah and then she had a biggest record of some with Kendrick exactly are they close
Starting point is 00:33:20 are can we say they're close though they're friends they're friends but I would assume she's closer than Kendrick so she talks she says it was something between two grown men so why would I insert myself between something between two grown men you know and I feel like that's how everybody felt with the exception of some people who didn't feel that way but I didn't really have any stake per se obviously I love Kendrick I'm signed to TD that's my family but obviously I've known Drake for so long and we have a beautiful rapport and obviously it was always
Starting point is 00:33:47 unfortunate when the unfortunate occurs so she's trying to stay out of all the things and all of the beef yeah it's too late now she's in it she's she she she she pick the side, the side she picked as Kendrick. How? Because she went on tour? You're going to expect for me to be, you know, just because I'm friends with a nigga that got devoured in a battle, I can't further myself by going on tour with somebody that I'm signed with. Jess, if somebody destroys me and crushes me and tries to take me out and talks about
Starting point is 00:34:21 everything that I've done and all this other stuff and really just tries to take my heart out of my soul and then I see you pop up with them like y'all BFFs but you got a business opportunity I was able to perform at the school I was able to get like
Starting point is 00:34:34 envy you'd be Kendrick in this situation because you're just as you would be more family to Jess than someone else so I can she had no choice do you know how many times I got into situations I shouldn't have got into because I was riding with the team
Starting point is 00:34:47 no they ran up on you over Charlemagne do you know how many times Charlemagne too Charlemagne too yes absolutely many of times many of calls up here I didn't road with and I didn't get into their BS because of things that they said. But I don't expect
Starting point is 00:35:00 the same. It's just who I am as a person. If you issue my team, I'm riding with my team. Most people don't feel the same way and I don't expect them to because they're not born. They just, that's not in their cloth, but if somebody goes in my, and not just frivolous, it's just not small. If it's something big, I ride and I'm usually
Starting point is 00:35:16 the one that gets in trouble. Well, you need to learn to park the car. Envi definitely not a lot about that. That niggas sometimes is loyal to a fault. Like, sometimes It's dumb as hell! Yeah. And I can't stop it. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And, you know, just being dumb and not know how to stop it and keep doing it over and over again, I think the definition of that is insanity. I would not have fasted up on the opportunities to further myself, my career. You know how many people who are in front of? Now, listen, sister's all I love you, but look, I'm not. You know what I'm saying? Like this, man, I'm about to be on a Super Bowl. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah. I mean, it's also, too, if she got to choose side, she's going with TD. That's literally, you know what I'm going to. I'm not mad of them. Yeah. And speaking of Nikki Minaj, as we wrap, I just wanted to give her shout out. I know the Barb's love to say we hate Nikki Minaj, but I saw that she sent some efforts over to Jamaica. She had some people there.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Yeah, so I wanted to give her a shout out for that, girl. Hey, I mean, not congratulations, but thank you for what you're doing over there. And also, shout out the, oh, my bad, shout out the spice. I saw what Spice did. So you're not trying to step on what Nikki did at all. No, no, no. But the more, the better, the more artists come together, the better. You know, Spice showed up, black trucks helping people out there.
Starting point is 00:36:22 over there with family cleaning up like all of that type of stuff yeah i seen spice do it salute the spy i seen uh vibes cartel do it i seen viny man do it yeah i even seen cala do it as well so salute to anybody that's helping and they're ongoing too because i know nicky minnard said it's going to happen today as well and it's going to keep going to as people need stuff so shout out to them and we're doing a concert well i'm not doing but i'm part of a concert that's going to be a tribute concert i'm sure they'll announce it in the next couple of weeks it's going to be in uh new york uh it's going to be a concert and all the proceeds from that concert which in the venue is going to be at the USB arena
Starting point is 00:36:53 I will go to families in feeding Jamaica so I'm going to be a part of that too so fire all right all right when we come back we got some front page news and then the cast of unexpected Christmas will be joining us all right little rel tab at the brown Reagan Gomez and Anna Marie Horstford
Starting point is 00:37:07 is the breakfast club good morning morning everybody is DJ NV Jess Hilary sholamine the guy we are the breakfast club let's get back in some front page news start off with some quick sports the Broncos beat the Raiders last night 10 to 7 And what's up, Mimi? What's up, NB, Jess.
Starting point is 00:37:22 How y'all doing this morning? Good, girl. Good. Okay, so we start this hour with a travel warning for anyone flying today. You wanted to double check your flight before heading to the airport. Starting this morning, airports across the country, they're rolling out the FAA's new flight reduction plan, which is part of what officials are calling the proactive safety step as a government shutdown drags into day 38.
Starting point is 00:37:46 That means fewer planes in the sky and a lot more reshuffling for passengers. Now, the FAA is cutting capacity at 40 of the nation's largest, busiest airports. We're talking LAX, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Boston, and all three New York area hubs. Now, the slowdown, it will begin with a 4% cut today and ramp up to about 10% next week. Now, officials say the move is meant to ease pressure on traffic controllers, many of whom who have not been paid since October 1st. That's when the shutdown began. The president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association says it's not just about people skipping work, it's about survival. Let's listen to what he had to say.
Starting point is 00:38:26 They're calling in saying, I don't have enough gas to get to work, to their employer, to their supervisor and manager and saying, what do you want me to do? They're not calling in sick. They're not calling in protests. They're calling with real-life situations. These are real people telling with real-life circumstances. And when you don't pay somebody for 37 days and say, hey, just keep showing up and do your best, people are going to have it. issues and they're mounting daily. Yeah, that is, that is so sad.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I know a lot of people gave Charlemagne Flack for saying, please, just open up the government now. But, I mean, we're getting to a point where, you know, people can't travel, people can't go to work, people can't eat, people can't pay their bills. And with the airlines, I mean, people are set, you know, they're set to travel home for Thanksgiving. Like, kids are coming home to see their families for Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Same thing for Christmas. So if they don't open this up, there's going to be a lot of people stuck in airports, a lot of people stuck in destinations that don't want to be. Away from their family. Away from their family. This is getting disgusting. And Jess can't, Jess ain't going to be able to perform. Like, how are you going to do your comedy show, Jess?
Starting point is 00:39:24 I know, right? That's what I was literally thinking about. I'm going to have to drive from certain places, you know what I'm saying? Or just reschedule shows because some places you just can't drive to. Because I do Breakfast Club Monday through Friday. And I know I can do it virtually on a road, but it's like, yo, if I got to go to Ohio next weekend. I don't even, and I got to fly into Detroit because a lot of the smaller airports really don't have flights. So I got to fly into Detroit drive almost two hours from Detroit to Toledo, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:39:52 But it's like Detroit is one of the main airports that's having the issue. So I would have to drive from New Jersey to Ohio. Don't know how long that's going to be. That would probably be like, what, 11 hours? I would have to leave Thursday to get there. Like, it's messing up so much. It is. It's messing with a lot of people and their livelihoods.
Starting point is 00:40:13 The guy we just heard from the president of the U.S. Union. He literally just said that also there's a bunch of people, air traffic controllers who have been evicted. And so it's really hard for them to just even show up to work. So yes, why we think they're calling in sick, they're dealing with real life situation. So but also there's a little bit of a good news for travelers. The nation's biggest airlines. So I'm talking American, Delta United. They're now offering refunds to passengers who cancel in advance, even on those non-refundable tickets. So they are saying, though, the airport is saying still expect delay. and cancellations. And last night, about 1,000 flights had already been scrapped and more ripple effects to come next week, as we've been talking about. But here's what you can do to plan ahead. They're reminding people to check your airline's website or the app before leaving home. The schedules are changing by the hour. They're saying pack light, maybe a carry-on would be easier. So if you're re-booked, you can avoid losing your luggage. And if you can't miss a trip, like if there's a family emergency or a wedding,
Starting point is 00:41:16 or something like that, experts say, if you can afford it, it might be worth buying a backup ticket just in case. If you can, a backup ticket will buy two tickets? That's what they're saying. People can barely afford a ticket. Like, that's crazy. I know, I know, I know. It's so unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:41:32 They just don't know. And who's to say that backup ticket for another flight? That ain't going to be canceled or, you know. Absolutely. It's a gamble either way you go. And a Washington, D.C. man who tossed his subway sandwich at a federal officer doing a protest. You guys remember this story? It happened earlier this summer
Starting point is 00:41:49 in D.C. Well, he was found... Yeah, because I asked you what kind of sandwich it was, me, me, you ain't tell me. I'm about to... I don't know what kind of sandwich, but I do know it had extra mustard, and I'm about to tell you why. So he has been found not guilty. So prosecutors say, Sean Dunn, he hurled a footlong at a custom and border
Starting point is 00:42:06 protection agent during a tense moment at a protest. The officer, he testified that the sandwich exploded on his chest and left a strong smell of mustard behind. Now, the defense argued that a foot long with extra mustard doesn't exactly qualify as a weapon. And jurors, they weren't convinced, so they found him not guilty, especially after showing photos of the sandwich still tightly wrapped in that subway paper. Now, outside the court, Dunn said he was relieved and thanked supporters for standing with him. Let's listen to that.
Starting point is 00:42:37 I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything happening. And that night, I believe that I was protecting the rights of immigrants to the people that opened their hearts and homes to me. I am eternally grateful. Oh, my God. I just want to take a moment to shout out our production scene. Shout out with Michael I don't know who put the subway sandwich up there while that audio was playing. And so I put a sandwich up there, a foot long. That's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:43:12 This is such an unserious story, but it is a serious story because they were really, trying to send this man to jail for something. I mean, I don't think he should go to jail, not at all, but I will say this. If he was found not guilty for throwing a subway sandwich, what's to stop somebody else for throwing something else? You know what I mean? Yes. Because, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:31 yes, he was protecting immigrants and yes, you want people to protect immigrants, but when people start, just start throwing stuff with federal agents, it's like, where does it get stopped? Because the federal agents ain't doing it on their own. Their bosses are telling them what to do. Yeah, they're made to go out here and do it. And they're trying to make a check and not saying that is right
Starting point is 00:43:47 because I don't believe what they're doing this right by just grabbing immigrants and throwing them into facilities but if one starts throwing sandwiches what's next? What next is throwing dogish you know what I mean? Like you got to find that. Well that's what they were saying Envi they were telling even though prosecutors say they
Starting point is 00:44:01 respect the verdict they want to remind people that anything you throw at a federal officer can get you in trouble so what can get you shot if you're wronging or that you know what I'm saying so you don't yeah it can but you got to realize these people of people too. Like, you throw something at me and I'm coming to work. I might snap and just beat your
Starting point is 00:44:19 ass. Yeah, for sure. You know what I mean? But, you know, I understand why he did it and who he was trying to protect him, but we also got to be careful with that too. Yeah. Absolutely. And lastly, speaking of things getting out of hand, let's talk about group chats. It turns out that most of us are in way more group chats
Starting point is 00:44:35 than we think and is taking a toll. So researchers at Oxford University, they teamed up with Vitafone to study how we stay connected across text messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, DM, Facebooks, Those work chats like Slack and teams, apparently we have created a chat for just about everything in life. So there's a family group chat, the work chat, the one of your kids' playdates, the old birthday group chat. But researchers say most of that we only respond to about five of those group chats.
Starting point is 00:45:03 The rest, they are muted, unread, and they're collecting things that we will never open. So experts say we join those to feel connected, but they are doing the opposite between the side combos, the content notification, the endless emoji. We are a little too connected. So they say to fix that, mute some of those, clear the ones that you never check. So delete those, set quiet hours for your phone and do a little digital detox. Really quickly, how many group chats are y'all in? Oh, my God, countless. But not because I wanted to stay connected because people put me in them and they shouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Yeah, I'm horrible with the group chats. I'm the one that's going to put the wrong thing in the wrong group chat. I do that all the time. I just put a number in and I got to say, my bad, wrong chat. I do that all the time. I just be sitting, I'm horrible with it. All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown.

Starting point is 00:47:37 That's a little New York, a little LA A little regrettile dysfunction Yeah God damn it You know I was a movie I have to say Why does black family movies got to have so much drama?

That's the part. And, you know, people come home for the holidays and you might not have seen your family all year

Starting point is 00:49:39 I didn't, I didn't even know that about you. Yeah, I got secrets. Ms. Holmes, what I want to ask you, you've been part of so many multiple generations in this. Yes. Can you believe it? Yes, I can't. How do you stay connected to, like, every generation of storytellers and audiences? I think being your authentic self that they know is something true, you know. I mean, I don't have Tourette's, but I usually tell the truth when everybody else is quiet.
Starting point is 00:50:07 You say I don't have Tourette's right. I don't know. But you know, there were always children who would say something and you would look, you know. It was one time my mother took me to this friend's house. And I said, excuse me, do you know you walk like a woman? And my mother said, her hand was so close to my face. He said, no, no. Do I?
Starting point is 00:50:29 He said, show me. So you want me to show you how you walk? And he was a little special. Jesus. What you mean special? Okay, I guess you. So you have kids that just say that. So somebody identifies with being a little off.
Starting point is 00:50:48 You know what I mean? And my mother would say, she fell on her head before she was born, so you have to excuse anything that comes out her mouth. And I said, oh, I didn't understand what it meant, but it meant she might say something that's inappropriate. And I think that's what it connects with every generation, you know. I mean, because we don't know when we do these things,
Starting point is 00:51:09 what the audience is going to like. We really don't know which movie. You know, I had no idea if Friday was going to be as big as it was. You don't know. It's so interesting. You don't know. Have they called you for the new one? Listen, that new one was going for 24 years.
Starting point is 00:51:25 They feel me, yeah? 24 years, okay? Yeah. Yeah. I want to ask, I know we're here to talk about Unpected Christmas, but whatever you all learned from Ms. Horst from, let's start with you. Oh, listen. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:38 I just needed to know. I know this was fun on, Seth. It was amazing on Seth. The one thing I learned is I can't wait to get older and say whatever I've been right, baby. That's right. Because all the people just laugh and they'd be like, oh, she's so cute. She don't never lie. You know, she don't lie.
Starting point is 00:51:57 She ain't got to rest, but she tell the truth, okay, that's what she said. But also, like, what she just said, being your authentic self promotes longevity, right? I met her, we met like 20, maybe like 20. 24 years ago and I was living in North Carolina and went to a theater festival in Atlanta with a mentor and he introduced me to her and she was so kind to me and she told me then you just got to keep you know being consistent keep pursuing it and one day it'll happen and so when I saw her on set I reminded her that I had met her I was completely different then you know I had some little locks in my hair I was like straight out of you know coming from Greensboro hosting
Starting point is 00:52:40 and it was just like it was surreal for me to like be on the set with someone who I consider like a living legend she's an icon for so many of us but yeah I say longevity is one of the things that I've been blessed to witness with you
Starting point is 00:52:55 about you real you know some so we did vacation friends together and she played my mom I didn't realize how funny she was and she ended up you don't know this but when we shoot vacation friends you literally did something like my mom it wasn't in the script I think I was like
Starting point is 00:53:11 my character was acting like he was kind of embarrassed and he was like so if you're embarrassed about me I'll just go home then you know it was
Starting point is 00:53:16 but it was almost surreal to witness like oh wow but watching you do this thing where you don't even have to say words you can just make a face and to me
Starting point is 00:53:26 that's a skill set too like I think like somebody like you and Dave Allen Greer who I look at that people just make their reactions is more than a word
Starting point is 00:53:34 and so that's one of the things I learned from just work with you also you're just amazing and you're so honest you make you like I don't know what she's going to say half the time. And I love it. That's what I loved.
Starting point is 00:53:44 What about you, Greg? Well, I met Ms. Anna when I was 14 years old. The parenthood and the Wayne's brothers started off the WB network back in the day. So I've known her for the majority of my career, 30 years in my career. And what Tabitha said is so true. Like, Miss Anna reminds me of that time when I was around Robert Townsend and all of these folks who had been grinding since the 60s and the 70s and the less. that they give us like she is a treasure a national treasure and I've never worked with
Starting point is 00:54:15 her so this has just been amazing you being my mama and my stepdaughter that's right that's right your father was nice listen what thing she's going to do is check out a father because she told me she was like hey your daddy what's the biggest lesson you you try to instill in just people about longevity and grace I think you can't be distracted by racism, other people's definition of you, your truth. If you just know that you are here for purpose and nobody can take that from you. You know what I'm saying? When people say you didn't get your flowers, I got my flowers, you know, because I've been working much longer. I ask God for one.
Starting point is 00:55:03 I said, just prove to me that I'm an actress. Give me one job because, you know, nobody believed it except. your mother at first and then you get the one job and you say oh well that wasn't bad and then you get another and then i still every time i get a job it's like the first one really yeah because somebody believes in you i mean somebody it's not hard you know and you look at other people i was telling jess i was following her for years i'm saying oh she's so wonderful and this and i really feel it because you know said look at that. It's something you didn't think
Starting point is 00:55:42 of. But you know it's the truth. And I think if you just understand that we're in a world that there's enough for everybody. Everybody can have 500 family. Now you've got more than 500. You can have millions or whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:58 But just know that on the podcast health stuff, we are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night. Yes, I'm Dr. Pryonka Wally, a double board certified physician. And I'm Hurricane Dibolu, a comedian and someone who once Googled, Do I Have Scurvy at 3 a.m?
Starting point is 00:56:15 On health stuff, we're talking about health in a different way. It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes. In the United States, I mean, 50% of Americans are pre-diabetic. How preventable is type 2? Extremely. Or our in-depth analysis of how incredible,
Starting point is 00:56:40 mangoes are. Oh, it's hard to explain to the rest of the world that, like, your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible, but, like, you don't even know. You don't know. You don't know. It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in. Listen to health stuff on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
Starting point is 00:57:00 podcasts. What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From plening canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life.
Starting point is 00:57:36 The moments it has overlap with mine, how he redefined American television, and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines waiting for a face like hours on screen. This is the story of how one man's spotlight lit the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama.
Starting point is 00:57:56 That's part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And she said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night. Along the central Texas plains, teens are dying. suicides that don't make sense, strange accidents, and brutal murders. In what seems to be, a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened. Listen to paper ghosts, the Texas teen murders, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Robert Smith, and this is Jacob Goldstein. and we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History about the best ideas and people and businesses in history and some of the worst people, horrible ideas,
Starting point is 00:58:54 and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, How Southwest Airlines, use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever.
Starting point is 00:59:15 There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get it. Your podcast. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once. People went wild.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive. And they're devoted to each other. They create a nature as a. and build a spectacular, circular home high on the top of a hill.
Starting point is 01:00:15 But little by little, their dream starts to crumble. And our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Even if you don't believe in a higher force, there are people watching you in your neighborhood, your parents, your godparents, somebody's watching you and just make sure you feel good at the end of the night.
Starting point is 01:00:53 How do you decide what parts you pick? Because when you pick your roles, they're not the same. Amen. It's not like Friday, which is not like this. I was a virtuous woman, okay? And somebody tried to sell a nasty story, and I said, what? the editor called my press agency, somebody is trying to say a
Starting point is 01:01:10 terrible story about her. I said, that is not true. So you better pick the roles that people, like, you know, because people really believe, black people, now, I don't know about white people, black people believe. Every goddamn thing.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Everything you do. There is no division between reality and TV. How's your husband? And I do stay in touch with Clifton. I said, He's fine. I got a new husband now. In this movie, Rico's my new husband.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Rico, Ryan, and a few other husbands in between. I can't remember all of them. But they're all good to me. They're all good to me. But it's just that you have a brand, even if you don't know you have a brand. And my brand is kind of decent human being who's honest. You know what I mean? Just to be honest with, even if the line is, I have gone up for things.
Starting point is 01:02:04 I said, this is not me. not me no my people won't believe it and I don't believe it even in acting though even in acting no there's one and I just said I can't do I said the words can't even come
Starting point is 01:02:17 out my mouth you know it was low low low somebody else got it a friend of mine and I was happy for her but no everything is not for you I always believe that what we get the roles we get it's somebody else that you're supposed
Starting point is 01:02:33 to meet there it's not just the role God gives everybody a talent and the talent is so that you can use to get to affect the people you're supposed to meet along that road but if I'm supposed to go to Georgia there are other people I'm supposed to meet
Starting point is 01:02:48 a long way in Georgia it's not just the movie you know it's somebody else whose life I'm supposed to be affecting wow wow so in this film who did you meet like who I met all these colored people
Starting point is 01:03:02 Let me just say She had a revelation Because girlfriend didn't know all of this mess was going on She did not know And then I can't say Because I haven't seen the completed movie yet But there was one scene that I felt really strong And the producers allowed me
Starting point is 01:03:24 To do some improvisation on it When the child comes back Because children like to grow up and then kind of read their parents and tell them everything they did wrong. You're all shaking your head. Forget that. No parent want no report card.
Starting point is 01:03:39 We don't want a report card. We did the best we could. We fend you. Change the nasty diapers. Listen to all that foolishness. And all I'm saying is some things you get right, some things you don't get right.
Starting point is 01:03:52 You know, you'd be perfect. But parent is not perfect. And when that scene came up, I said, oh, let me do a little of this. And I haven't seen it, but I hope it addresses that issue where, no, no, no, you're going to tell me, but let me just tell you a little something, too. Because I don't think we look, we only look from one perspective, which you didn't do for me. Well, let me tell you what you didn't do for me, you know, because nobody gives you the handbook on parenting. And it's still in there, too.
Starting point is 01:04:24 It's like all of us has been doing like this press run. And that's one of the most important parts of the movie is, you know, I don't know who said it, but like, I, she's a woman, too. She's a, like, yeah, we're human. You're human. And so, like, it's still, it's, when you see it, you'll see up the year. Okay. And, you know, I was going to say one of the things that Ms. Anna was talking about, and I don't want to give too much away, but we're so used to our mothers and elders telling us, do what I say, just do it. Don't ever talk back to me.
Starting point is 01:04:56 but when you become an adult, you do have questions about things that happen to you. And one of the things that I love is to sing with you and Dominique Perry, who's not here. She loves the show too. She plays my sister. But she confronts her mother, and her, without giving too much away,
Starting point is 01:05:12 her mother listens and apologizes. And that is something that I really hope folks take away from this. You can always apologize and do better. So that's one of the things I love about this film. I apologize to my kids all the time. And I agree with everything y'all saying because I think that we often forget our parents had a life before they were.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Yes. They were just a girl and a guy. Yeah, that's very interesting. I at one point told my parents, I said, I want to know who you were before you became my mother and father. So what I did is I went back
Starting point is 01:05:43 to both of their hometown and just to see who they were because I said, oh, and then I interviewed them because I didn't know. And my mother surprised me. A lot. I said, how many men you had, Mama?
Starting point is 01:06:00 And the poor cameraman said, Anna, that's your mother. I said, I know, but I want it. And she said three, but you know, after, they all come out the same. They all the same. And I said, oh, okay. I said, well, what would you say
Starting point is 01:06:13 if your daughter had a lot more than that? She said, if it took a hundred men to make my daughter happy, I'm happy for her. And I said, who is this woman? Wow. Who is? I mean, isn't that? Your dad wouldn't say that.
Starting point is 01:06:28 No, hang out, though. Took a hundred brothers. But it's just it-sing because we don't know who they are. That's right. You know, they start. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky enough to have your parents live long enough because a lot of us lose them, you become the parent to this child. And you see, oh, oh, the kindness.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Yeah. The kindness, you know, it's just. It's so interesting that, and I think I'm blessed, and we all are blessed, to be able to have a fantasy of, I want to be an act, I want to be a performer, I want to stand on state, and then you get to have it done. And people know you, I mean, every other black person in America, especially up, damn, knows me. Girl, that's you. I said, how you know it's me? You know it's me. You know it's me.
Starting point is 01:07:21 And you meet them how they meet you in the house, you know, because I have been in. your living room. That's right. You know, a bedroom all over on the radio in your car, you know, for a long time. So I can't laugh or talk to laugh because they know me. Girl, that's your boy? I knew that was you.
Starting point is 01:07:41 A girl, you look like yourself. This movie's going to empower a lot of people over the holidays to have those conversations. You know, one of my first breakthroughs in therapy was realizing that my dad used to discipline me for things he never taught me. And so when we had a conversation, and he started telling me about his own issues
Starting point is 01:07:59 and he tried to commit suicide and he was on, you know, different medication for his mental health. When as I realized all that, it gave me a level of grace for him that I didn't even know I had. Yes. And you're lucky if we got a chance to look at them like that. That's right. That's wow.
Starting point is 01:08:14 We'll also have a conversation with that. That's one of my struggles now is that, you know, my dad has dementia and it's like, you know, going through therapy and like recognizing some moments where like, dang, he wasn't. I had to get to a point where I understood, not even just my dad, just people who love me. They wasn't necessarily hating
Starting point is 01:08:31 that they didn't believe in me. They was scared for me. And I was taking a chance doing something. Nobody did. So it was more or less a protection thing. It wasn't that they didn't believe in you. They just didn't want you to be hurt. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:43 You know what I'm saying? You know, to trade school, real. Yeah. It's familiar to them. You know, you see people who work trades all the time. Oh, yeah. Same with, like, with me, I wanted to be. being actress since I was a little girl, but we didn't know nobody in my family.
Starting point is 01:08:59 So my mama was like, okay, I know you want to do that, but you also make clothes. So my great-great-aunt was the town seamstress. So she said, won't you go to school for fashion design? Because if the acting thing don't work out, then you'll have that. It wasn't that she was discouraging me. She was just telling me, like, we know what that looks like and you can actually do that. So, you know. Let me ask you, how would you be with your kids, right?
Starting point is 01:09:22 Because the same thing with me, right? My mom's to get a job with a hat. That was her thing. You get a job with a hat. Meaning you work for 20 years. You get retirement and you're covered, right? When I was a DJ, they thought the DJ thing was cute until after I graduated from college and I still did it.
Starting point is 01:09:34 And I still did it. It was like, I had enough's enough. But now I look at it and I'm like, I would never be that, right? But then I look at if my son 10 years ago said, Dad, I want to be a gamer. I'd be like, boy, if you don't get to college. It's a new world. You look at some of these games. It's a new world.
Starting point is 01:09:47 And they make it $30, $40 million a year. You could get scholarships to college now doing gaming. Oh, yeah, all around the world. Oh, yeah, it's a different world. And I think. you have to. I mean, it's really interesting. Children you know, when they're looking
Starting point is 01:10:01 for advice, I said, your voice should be louder. When God talks to you, he tells you, you know. There's a little girl like Tabith. I said, Mommy, I got to go to Hollywood. And I would practice walking down the steps. Of course, I would fall a lot because I had on heels
Starting point is 01:10:17 and she said, your ass going to be broken by the time you get to Hollywood. And one time I was going somewhere and my back was out, I said she was right. That was 100 years after But God tells you what you are here for What you are here for And I remember one time
Starting point is 01:10:35 I said oh my mother said Oh you look just like a lamppost girl And I said oh I'm a real actress I was about four or five I didn't know where the lamppost girl was It was a prostitute in Santa Domingo But I thought Wow
Starting point is 01:10:51 I can't put my hat on and they had something else and she said oh, Adam looked just like a lamp post girl and I said she didn't know it was me I'm a lamp post girl no mama I never did I never became one but I acted like one but
Starting point is 01:11:08 again God talks to you he tells you what you came here for there no mistakes even though you don't have any reference this one wasn't that this one wasn't that listen to that voice make that voice louder than any outside voice
Starting point is 01:11:25 coming to you because they don't know when your parents say why are you getting to me well my family I had to like I remember when it was they were being combative to it but I'm like well y'all raised me and told me I could do anything like that's I wanted to so you raised me too good so I can't listen to what you saying
Starting point is 01:11:41 to me right you know I mean like it's it's really interesting but once again it came out of fear right yeah one of the things I love about my family is that they end up apologizing that when I first moved to New York and I got my first show they literally threw a dinner together and apologizing.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Amazing. That's amazing. And so now to this point, they are crazy supportive. Like you see them with little real shirts. We're little real family. You're teaching them also, and I think for our children, we always look at them as ours, hours, little us's, but they grow up and they grow into their own
Starting point is 01:12:12 people. And then one day you need their help. You need their advice, and you realize oh, they're part of my community. And it does flip as your parents get older. My mother is in her 70s, and it's very much like, girl why you didn't do what I told you to do? Why do you know, talking back
Starting point is 01:12:28 and all of that? So life is very interesting. Yeah, they got to go together. I know, just one quick question, and it's in regards to the movie and everything we're talking about now. Do you personally believe that family should always be forgiven? I know you're talking about step-parents, but just no. I think it depends. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:43 No, I think it's a plan. That's on the... It depends on the... Too much. No, no. No. You're right here. You're talking about here.
Starting point is 01:12:51 You're not. It depends. It really depends But that's a good question I believe Everyone can be forgiven Right Forgiveness is not for the other person
Starting point is 01:13:04 It's for you It's for yourself And so Forgiveness Even in family Doesn't mean We have to be together Right
Starting point is 01:13:12 It doesn't mean that you have to be back in my life It just means I have forgiven you And I'm gonna go about my business Right You got some deep pain though like from some family members that you know you just can't reverse like especially if they're not asking for
Starting point is 01:13:29 your forgiveness. If they don't see nothing wrong then it makes it hard for even if you want to forgive. But that's the thing about forgiveness when it's for you, you don't have to say it to that person. Yeah. It's so that you can move forward in your life without hindrance. That's true. Right? Because sometimes you can hold
Starting point is 01:13:46 something against someone. And it hurts you. It holds you back. Yeah. Right. You can't move forward. So it's not for them right especially because we've all been hurt yeah and there's some things that people do that feels like that is it can't be forgiven like it just can't but to them they may go to you know they rest in place feeling like you never forgave them and and that's their business to feel yeah right for you to live your life in peace forgiveness has to live in your heart yeah i went to see a play called oh happy day that's that's out here oh man so good and it's a great
Starting point is 01:14:20 song they have really with that subject is, you know, it's a song, I don't know the lyrics exactly because I heard yesterday, but it's like can you forgive the person or situation that hurt you the most? And it was God asking that question to Jordan Cooper's character because that's how you move on.
Starting point is 01:14:36 You got to move. You can't sit in that. You know what I mean? Because it really affects you and you can't get like, it ain't about he's saying what? I don't need nothing from you. I don't need you to say, it is what it is. I forgive you and we ain't got to talk again. Yeah. See, I wonder what that looks like, though
Starting point is 01:14:52 I wonder what it looks like For giving somebody to training God talks to you, you know what I mean? Like, what does that look like? You just go on about your business. It looks like freedom. Freedom, you know, feels like, let's have that look.
Starting point is 01:15:04 It's a feeling. Yeah, you see it looks and feels like joy, happiness. Like you can see somebody be like, they didn't went through all that and they're still looking, they're still showing up. Because it takes a lot of energy to hold on to that, to that anger or whatever it is. So you're absolutely right.
Starting point is 01:15:19 And also, like, when you think about matters of the heart, you know, most people hurt you, they hurt your heart, right? You know, if you think forgiveness is something that has to happen. It's not about, like, it hurt your feelings. It hurt your heart. So whether that, whatever that thing was, say it was a past relationship, the longer you hold the grudge, the longer you block that part of the heart for you to be loved again. There you go. That's beautiful. We have to release so that we can get what God has for us.
Starting point is 01:15:49 There you go. Ooh, this is an unexpected interview. Hey. Hey. Hey. Come on, November 7th. Unexpected Christmas in theaters this Friday. Thank you so much for joining.

So I know one of the questions we had was we wanted to know more about the structuring of the deal. How many fights, all of that? Let's take a listen to Clarissa on the deal structure.
Starting point is 01:17:14 With an $8 million minimum or whatever the roof is on the number, Is there a certain amount of fights within the two years that you have to fight? So it's a two-year deal, four fights. The reason why we say $8 million, minimum, because if I had to explain the whole business of boxing to you, it wouldn't even be enough time for everybody to understand it. But I'm going to make way more than $8 million, and I'm getting $3 million.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Well, I've already got $3 million up, like, as my signing bonus. First year. What you're projected in first year? But the first year, I believe that I would make probably about like $16 million the first year. I drinkings me big as Serena Williams. You know, like, that is who I grew up idolize me. That's who I kind of put my career after, you know, just being the best, trying to make sure I have the best image, get the big endorsement deal, get the sponsorships, and just stay on top and win. When I heard $8 million, I mean, I love it.
Starting point is 01:18:02 But I still think she's worth way more than that. She's the biggest in women's boxing, right? We should be throwing all types of money at us. She should be getting endorsements. She should be getting her own sneakers. She'd be getting her own gloves. She's encouraging women two box. She should be making way more than that
Starting point is 01:18:18 She is the face, in my opinion, of women's boxing Just like Venus and Serena were for tennis For tennis, just like golf is for tennis as well Tigers for golf Like she's the face of it And $8 million I still think it's like she should be getting Way more than that so salute to Clarissa So y'all know what's crazy
Starting point is 01:18:34 Well first I was telling her yesterday The Presser that I've never paid attention to women's Like fighting as much as I had Because I'm attached to her Yeah and I just want to know what she's doing And want to learn because of her so yes to your point but what's crazy is yesterday she talked a lot and if you guys um because we won't get a chance to play everything here i'll be talking about this on my podcast the latest with la rosa and the full press
Starting point is 01:18:55 conferences on my youtube channel la rosa tv and breakfast club will pin it there too she talked about how it was a fight to even get to that eight million because people were coming to her with with lower things she did say that uh jake paul MVP came to her with an offer they've minted their relationship as well um but she went with the eight million because it was the best offer but she also says the deal that she got, if it wasn't for Papoose, it wouldn't have happened. And she gave him so much, like, flowers yesterday because she said there was a lot of people that came to her, and the numbers just weren't right. And she knew she was worth more because of what Papu's brought to the table with Wren Records.
Starting point is 01:19:26 She decided to stay with Salita. Now it's a partnership, that's how they were able to get to that number. So I got a chance to also tap to Papoose yesterday just about the narrative around his relationship that he's taking more than he's giving in the situation. And we had a very honest conversation about it. Let's take a listen. Does it ever make you upset? She talked a bit about this in our.
Starting point is 01:19:43 interview just now how it's annoying to her that people make it seem like you're not adding on like you're subtracting or taking from her it doesn't upset me but it disappoints me cat williams had did a stand-up one time and out of nowhere i never met cat williams and he said and when he was doing his stand-up he said yo why y'all don't fapp poops like he ain't never do nothing but jee and me and him never even met so i just bring that up to say that what i've done being in this game for so long never selling my soul never back dorm and never doing no sideways. I'm disappointed that some of y'all would actually believe some of that foolishness. Very disappointed. So it doesn't upset me. But for those who know me,
Starting point is 01:20:19 cool, the newcomers, the casuals who don't know no better, I get it. But those of y'all who know me, it's very disappointing that you would even jack some of that because it makes no sense at all. Damn, that's great. But you know what? One thing I want to say is he has helped structure her business-wise, right? So that's good as she gives him that credit because, you know I'm saying. Forget what the people say in the comments or whatever. We're living off her, whatever, whatever. Even forget what was said about him, you know, about, you know,
Starting point is 01:20:46 because maybe it made some things too. It made sad some things too that actually egged that on had people saying that. But like, it definitely looks as if from what we see and what Clarissa has told you that he's helped her structure her business in a better way make people take us serious. So, yeah, that was the best thing that ever happened to each other.
Starting point is 01:21:05 It looks like to me. Well, Pap is seasoned in the industry too. like he's been here a while he's done so many different deals so he knows what to look for and what to get but I will say I'm just glad that Clarissa Shield is starting to get her flowers right I don't want to compare her to Floyd Mayweather
Starting point is 01:21:20 but I will in this aspect she's culture right and when I mean culture she pulls up to those cultural events like Floyd used to do like if something was going on Floyd was there to show his face to show that he supported his people people don't necessarily think that now but that's what Clarissa does if there's something going on
Starting point is 01:21:35 an Ebony 100 a BET awards or whatever an ESPN award documentary a car show she's gonna pull up and say I am culture and I'm here and I love that about Clarissa 100% yeah and she's always down to like talk like I reach out to her on so much different stuff and she's always down to talk and Papoose and Clarissa want to come here together too so I told them that we set that up so we can really get into some things yeah because I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time a day um so they'll be up here soon so y'all can look out for that also today I will be on tamron hall oh really yes it finally aired
Starting point is 01:22:08 today. So I have a clip. They gave us a clip exclusively for us to take a listen to, and then I'll tell you guys what time is Aaron. I believe it's 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and New York, let's take a listen. This happened because you bet on yourself. Oh, my God, you're crying. You're going to make me cry. I'm always crying. I feel like this last year, I've been crying, but it's like tears of joy more than anything
Starting point is 01:22:25 because, yes. When you take a chance, you just don't know what's going to happen. You don't know how it's going to turn out. Because you were at TMZ, you were covering all things pop culture. Yes. And you started to think about how do I own my own identity. And then And two very important people in your life, your mother and your grandma had health scares. Yes.
Starting point is 01:22:43 And that changed your perspective on a lot of things. I mean, I didn't really have a choice. I had to get back close to the home. They're in Delaware. So being on the East Coast. And New York was just like the place that I could come to where I'm like, okay, I could still work, but I could be close. But for a time, I couldn't even work because my mom was back and forth to the hospital.
Starting point is 01:22:58 So I was like, I don't know what's about to happen. But like, if I get another shot at career, I'm going in, like, 300%. Yeah. And then this little homeless girl stood outside the station with a sign that said, we'll work with food. We passed her every day. We were shifted to the side. We said, let's bring her in, give her a little food, and she never left. Shifted to the side is crazy.
Starting point is 01:23:18 Don't tell Jess I never left. I don't want to. She never left. But yeah, no, congratulations today. Absolutely on that, you know. Thank you, Jess. It's definitely been through a lot, you know. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:24:46 You know, last week you said somebody was, like, the King of the South. And we all know, you know, Philp is the King of the South. But the way that you said, you know, Jay Cole, really. It was a little disrespectful, bro, like, say Cole is on another level, and you know that. Listen, my brother, I agree with you. I think J. Cole is fantastic. I think J. Cole is one of the newest rap icons, right?
Starting point is 01:25:10 But when you say King of the South, me being from South Carolina, yeah, I'm going to take that away, because you can't discredit Scarface, you can't discredit T.I. You can't discredit Little Wayne. What are we talking about? King of the South? And I like Jay Coe, but he don't even make, he don't even, he don't even, he don't even, he told him the better rapper than who. T.I.
Starting point is 01:25:26 T.I. has more hit. That's not true. I disagree with you. I disagree. and J. Cole don't make country rap tunes. He don't even make summer music. What's your project? What's your project that you compare a T I to that you say is way better than J. Cole?
Starting point is 01:25:40 T.I. albums? Oh, my God. Trap music, urban legend, king, paper trail. What are we talking about? All of those are better than the fallout. I mean, not the fallout, the warm up, the come up. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:25:53 Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. You're a little trick, right? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Can we get a poll? Can you post the post? pole? Why, you want a script? You feel like dancing? We're going to put the pole up and then we're going to put on TI, do it, baby, stick it, baby, and we're going to let you dance. About sir. What? Good morning. Who's this?

Yes, ma'am. Talk to me. Go ahead. Do you think. Okay. The reason I want to give it to Sholomey and the God is I completely understand his
Starting point is 01:26:28 for the people who are on Snap Ben. But this is not the time for the Democrats to bow down to the Republicans. They hold strong. Charlemagne needs to do a little bit more research on the Affordable Health Care Act and these subsidies because these same subsidies are impacting those people with SNAP benefits. And what these people are going to end up having to do is make a choice. And so all of these people who are going to lose these subsidies are the same people who are getting these benefits who have health care issues that need the services that are going to provide
Starting point is 01:27:00 than the ability for some people to be able to get well and be able to work. These subsidies go way deeper than what he's thinking on the surface level about people just have to make a choice to be going to the doctor. Many of these people are very, very ailing and have some significant medical impacts that these subsidies are helping them to be able to afford health care. So I need him to stop telling the Democrats to bat out to the Republicans because this issue is deeper than what he thinks it is.

I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story.
Starting point is 01:28:53 From planning canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life. The moments it has overlapped with mine, how he redefined American television, and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like hours on screen.

Listen to starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama as part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Starting point is 01:29:38 Suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders. In what seems to be, a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad. Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened. Listen to paper ghosts. The Texas Teen Murders on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Robert Smith, and this is Jacob Goldstein, and we used to host a show called Planet Money.
Starting point is 01:30:09 And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people, horrible ideas, and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need. for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what?

Starting point is 01:31:12 two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one will end up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stunned.
Starting point is 01:31:27 But three times. John and Ann Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular, circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality.
Starting point is 01:31:49 They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything. spins out of control. Listen to hell in heaven on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And all of these snap benefits individuals, I know it's difficult for them right now.
Starting point is 01:32:13 And I'm not saying that they shouldn't get their justice, but the Republicans have the means to be able to help support them to get them through this. But we need to put this on the Republicans and not the Democrats. We are not bound down to this. It would be the whole for her. Man, we know the Republicans are the issues,
Starting point is 01:32:29 but we also know Republicans aren't going to make no concessions to Democrats. So this government shutdown has been going on for 39 days. You got a bunch of government workers who haven't received any paychecks in 39 days. Their rent is due. They got child care to pay for. They got light bills to pay for. They got car notes. I feel for all those federal workers who have missed two paychecks,
Starting point is 01:32:47 especially when most of them are living paycheck to paycheck. It's not just about the people with the snap benefits. And guess what's going to happen in a few days? nothing. Right? Democrats aren't going to get anything. Oh. Good morning. Who's this? Good morning. This is Shaya. Hey, Shia. Who do you want to give the biggest he-haw to? I want to get the biggest he-haw to whoever is spinning those records early in the morning. Is that DJ Envy? No, it's not me. It's not me. It's not me. It is not me. It is not me. I don't program. Tell them how much you hate the music. So let me just let me say, hey, Jess, hey Lauren, hey Charlemagne, hey, Charleney, hey.
Starting point is 01:33:24 DJ, E and D. Good morning. Hey, both. But I just want to say that if I hear residual one more time in the morning, I'm going to breathe. Y'all play all the slow, strong, in the morning when I'm trying to get ready for my 12-hour shift. You sound like me.
Starting point is 01:33:40 Go ahead. Go off. Go off, Queen. That ain't me, man, but go ahead. Can we get something more upbeat in the morning? Can we get something more hype? Like, I want to be excited about going to work. Y'all make me so sad and depressed.
Starting point is 01:33:51 Go off, Queen. I'm with you. 100%. That's not me, ma'am. Only, all these little songs I want to hear is, Chris Brown. What is? Chris Bramberg, is this will get played at least 12 times from me writing from work inside Pullup and the parking lot.
Starting point is 01:34:06 I know. And it puts me to sleep. Well, thank you, Mama, but that ain't me, though. All right, well, I hope y'all do better. Well, whoever it is, we give it a donkey of the day. Yes, ma'am. Good morning. Who's this?
Starting point is 01:34:17 Good morning. Good morning. Who's this? I'm not going to say no name because I'm giving donkey of the day today, and I can't say no name. Okay. Okay, who you want to get the biggest e-hauled to? These two cops from Greensboro Police Department. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:34:31 Yesterday, they pulled my husband over from running past a red light right when it turned red. He had a clip in the car and, like, a blunt. And I rent money because he just left PNC. I don't know if they followed him after PNC or whatever, but they took the week the little blunt and the clip and all of the rent money and charged him with intent to seal. I'm angry They took his rent money to
Starting point is 01:34:57 Yes they told it And guess what when he told him Can you check my phone Me and my wife is talking about the rent They said their exact words Where you know how many times I hear that I pray for all our black men out there So why would they take the rent money
Starting point is 01:35:08 Just because? Because he had Because I guess I don't know I don't know I'm just glad he's free But yeah I guess Because he had all of that money
Starting point is 01:35:18 They don't know You was paying rent Man that's so sad And the crazy part is I don't even know They did here. Yeah, I don't even know who you report them to because they're the police. But the sad thing about it is she won't get her money back until her court date, right?
Starting point is 01:35:30 Because now she has to go to court and file all those proceedings. Yeah, now we have to pay for a lawyer. And what's your court date? It's to act for the money back in December, December. So you've got to spend money you don't have to get back money you don't have. Correct. Yeah. And my husband's probably going to be mad for me calling up, but I was pissed, angry.
Starting point is 01:35:50 Please give them the biggest, the biggest. I will. I will, but I, you know, You know, in a way, I wish that we could help you by knowing who these people are. Because, I mean, like I said, I don't even know who you report that to. I guess you just got to get a lawyer, like you said, and I guess a problem sometimes. I don't know either. Well, thank you for calling. No problem.
Starting point is 01:36:07 Have a good day. Oh, Lord. But I wish I could wave a magic one and fix problems like that. Good morning. Who's this? Hey, this is terribly from Wilming to North Carolina. How are you? How are you?
Starting point is 01:36:16 Who you want to get the biggest he-haught to? The biggest he-haught to me, my opinion, is Marjorie Taylor Green, for coming on the view. First of all, I don't trust her. She talks about both sides of her mouth, and I don't think she's a changed person. And then she's going to say, I love Donald Twon. I don't trust her.
Starting point is 01:36:33 She gets no love from me. I haven't even tapped in. I saw her on the view. I saw her on Bill Maher, and I really just wasn't interested, but I think I'm going to catch up this weekend. Good, good. Thank you for calling.
Starting point is 01:36:46 Thanks for coming in. We appreciate you. Lord, have mercy. Jesus Christ. People are going through it. You hear me? I hear you. Listen, we do that.
Starting point is 01:36:53 every Friday, man. It's the people's donkey. You can call up and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. All you can go to the iHeart radio app and click on the talkback feature and you can leave a donkey and we'll play it back on the air. All right, and when we come back, Jacaylan Carl will be joining us. She's a gospel singer and we'll talk to her next
Starting point is 01:37:09 our project's out today. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody is D. J. N.V. J. J.Laray and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lone of Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. And she walked in Big Regal. You hear me?
Starting point is 01:37:26 Like royalty just stepped in the room. Her album is out today, ladies and gentlemen, Jacaylon Carr. Welcome. Thank you. How are you feeling? I'm feeling good. I have no reason to complain.
Starting point is 01:37:36 How's your energy? How's your energy? It's great, you know, great response. And just, overall, I just feel blessed. You got some legends on this album, literally, right? It kicks off a first song, Bobby Jones. Yes. Conversation with him.
Starting point is 01:37:50 Yeah. Talk about, you know, just bringing him into the, the project and why you decided to start off this tribute to the legends and gospel with Bobby Jones. Well, he has played a huge part in a lot of our careers. I can speak for me specifically. I got on his show when I was about
Starting point is 01:38:04 seven years old. I didn't even know who I was. And then after that, I released my breakout single Graders Coming. And he, you know, invited me onto the show and it just went from there. So it was his show that really, really pushed a lot of our songs.
Starting point is 01:38:20 And yeah, I was like, I'm honored. to have them a part of that introduction. How did you choose which legends to collaborate with and what criteria did you use to define legend? Yeah. Well, the thing is I study my songs, so I have to hear who I hear on the song versus just putting someone on there.
Starting point is 01:38:40 And then there's so many legends, right? And I couldn't get everybody on this one album, which is why I'm now working on Chapter 2, because it's just so many. I think that these people are just huge staples in not just gospel, but in music period. They're the blueprint. And it's just time to honor them
Starting point is 01:38:59 and to let them know that we appreciate them. I believe that what you honor will honor you. Who's the Mount Rushmore gospel artist? The Mount Rushmore and gospel artists. It's so many. We're doing it with hip-hop all the time. Who's the Mount Rushmore and gospel legend? It's so many.
Starting point is 01:39:10 You have Pastor Shirley. You have the Clark sisters, Donald Lawrence, Kirk Carr, Kirk Franklin. I mean, the list goes on and on. It's just, and then there's constantly legends being raised up to, so it's just, it's a lot of them. I want to go back if you don't mind. Yes.
Starting point is 01:39:28 What got you into doing gospel music and besides what, you know, why did you want to make it a career? So, obviously I was raised in church and then also I come from a singing family. But even though I came from a singing family, I believe that sometimes just because
Starting point is 01:39:46 you were around it, that doesn't mean you're supposed to do it. But it was just, me. Like, I couldn't escape it. Every time I turned around, I was singing, I was in the mirror, I was singing to the grass, as if the grass was my crowd, my cousins would come over, I will make a choir with them. Like, I just loved it. And honestly, I didn't even know that, you know, my career would be to this capacity. I was just doing what I love to do. Yeah. And at a very young age, my dad, he came off his job so that he could manage me and go on the row with me, and he saw the vision.
Starting point is 01:40:21 I got to be a lot of pressure. Dad leaving his job and managing. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it took a lot of faith, honestly, you know, because you're going from something where you know you have stability of income, you can take care of your family, all these things. Like, my life is literally a miracle. It was a faith walk, but, you know, it's been a family thing since the beginning.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Again, they saw my gift, worked it, cultivated it, and I am where I am today. When did you realize that you, quote, unquote, made it? Oh my gosh When was that moment I would say When I heard my music Outside of my hometown That was really big for me
Starting point is 01:40:58 Because Memphis right Yes Memphis Tennessee West Memphis Arkansas Country And so I Yeah when I heard my music
Starting point is 01:41:07 Outside of just being played In my region That's when I knew that It was getting serious Where was that What did you hear What region Where were you
Starting point is 01:41:15 Well So I started traveling heavily at the age of 13 and the greater's coming was released around 14 15. So I wouldn't even be able to tell you where I was because I was traveling literally from city to city but I just
Starting point is 01:41:29 knew yeah it was getting real. Is this your childhood traveling that young? Because you started early. Were you able to do the things that kids do? Yeah, I was. That's the interesting thing because I was an active child and my parents made sure that they balanced very, very well because
Starting point is 01:41:45 of course I was homeschooled too. But I modeled, I did a whole lot of things because I just loved being active and all of that. And I played with my dolls. I did all these things. They just made sure that I had a very balanced life because they also made sure that I enjoyed doing what I do at the same time. It didn't feel like pressure. Like even now, it doesn't feel like pressure. I just, it's my happy place.
Starting point is 01:42:11 Now, you talk about balance. One of the things that I like about you, and I don't know how hard this is for you, but you're very young. you dress amazing people do criticize that sometimes though right yes but in being criticize you dress good yes because you know they give they give if you're a gospel artist or a person in the faith world
Starting point is 01:42:28 people think that there's a certain way you're supposed to show up and because you have your fashion and your boutiques and different things you get flack for if things are too tired or like whatever but you still keep the balance of being young and liking to do all those things how do you handle that yeah you know I just do I feel like if I'm not offending God
Starting point is 01:42:46 then, you know, I don't see the issue in that. I dress, I've never dressed, not dressed, rather, for where I am. If I'm at a gala, I'm going to dress like I'm at a gala. If I'm at church, I'm going to dress like I'm at church, but all at the same time, it's still respectful. It's still classy and elegant and all of that. I think people need to see that it's okay for you to love God and look good at the same time. It has nothing to do with your body shape.
Starting point is 01:43:12 None of that. If you look good, you just look good for a blanking period. But who are these people, though? Because, I mean, have they never not seen somebody be Easter Sunday, you ain't never see the first lady of a poppy church walking the room? See, it's not bad. That's what I'm saying? I think a lot of it just had, I've been criticized for my body shape
Starting point is 01:43:30 when it comes to certain things that I wear. So I think that's most of the time the issue, but yeah. But that's divine too, though. And I can't do anything about that. But it's divine because, you know, what do you see when you see a beautiful woman with a nice body? You'd be like, good Lord. Lord have mercy Jesus
Starting point is 01:43:47 You just start calling his name Yeah But I think it's too Because your family And your sound It's so rooted in like That old school gospel Where like there's so many rules
Starting point is 01:43:57 And things you can and can't do Yeah But even that you handle that well too With like on this A project Very old school sound of gospel But like the melodies pick up a bit There's like a little bit of country
Starting point is 01:44:07 In there at one point That balance is there also I don't know how you bring that in Because they are not kind of like new things and like that old school gospel world. Yeah, yeah. And a lot of them, they actually said they, you got me singing this young people music,
Starting point is 01:44:20 Miss Dodie in particular, said that, but they loved it. And the goal was to, of course, honoring them, but also making sure that the world know these people still have it, like their voices, their personality, everything about them is still a staple.
Starting point is 01:44:39 And so I tried to make sure that there were songs that kind of pulled them out of the box, You know, songs that they probably wouldn't have done before or maybe they would have. I just wanted to make sure I went in a creative route with the album. I wanted to ask, you know, you've been seeing this a lot more recently. You've been seeing the blend between gospel and hip hop or gospel and other genres of music. What's your thoughts on it?
Starting point is 01:45:02 I know some people hate it. Some people say it shouldn't be that way, but I love the fact that people are infusing with, whether it's Glorilla or Little Baby or whatever may be. What's your thoughts on it? You know, I haven't really put much thought into it because I can't really tell, you can't tell people what to do, you know, whatever you're, what you feel like is best for your career, you know, you do that.
Starting point is 01:45:21 I just try to make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. Would you do a regular with a hip-hop artist? It depends. It really depends. I'm very strategic on, you know, how I move and how I do things. So, I mean, you never know. But for right now, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:45:36 I ain't putting any thought into it, so I can't really say. It'd be hard to turn down a woman from Memphis named Gloria. I know you're very protective, to piggyback off Envy, right? You're very protective over your brand in this. I've been told that you would turn down like music deals and everything just so you could stay independent and working with your family because you want to be able to control how they place you musically.
Starting point is 01:45:59 Is that true? Yes, and just be able to be in control, period. You know, not having to answer to anybody. And it also keeps you in a position where, you know, you're doing what you want to do, what you feel is best for your career. For me, not everything is about a business move, you know, because at the end of the day, I keep the people in the forefront of my mind and what they need, because that's what it's really about, is this about me trying to build my own, you know, little thing or whatever, or is it about me really, really positioning myself to help people, and the only way I can do that is if, you know, sometimes there's not a lot of hands in there throughout the process. How much money was it? Can we ask you that? Say it again?
Starting point is 01:46:40 What was the deal that you turned down? She's all in your business right now. When I heard that, I'm like, I mean, I know you're rooted in family, but I'm like, who, there probably was a lot on the binder. I'm not going to say, but I will say, you know, again, like, I ain't never really been money happy. Like, you know, I'm a money magnet. So, you know, that makes it also just like, you know, money answered to me. So you're not going to present me with anything as if, you know, I'm supposed to just move up on it. And because, again, in the forefront of my mind is always the people.
Starting point is 01:47:14 Let me ask, I'm going to ask that question that Lauren just asked in a different way. If you had to tithe 10% of the money that you had gotten, how much would it have been? You know what? I'm tickled. I am tickled. And you got a song called He Don't Miss. Yes. What's that song?
Starting point is 01:47:31 It's a little country. I know is he doesn't, but, you know, he don't just hit a little harder. That song right there is just the song about just confidence. in God. There's never been a season of any one of our lives where he missed, where he did not come through. He did not answer. Even when it wasn't when we thought it should have been, how we thought it should have been. At the end of the day, you know, he's been good. He's faithful. And there's no battle you could ever face, whether it's sickness, whether it is, you know, relationship with it. Whatever the problem is, there's no battle that he cannot win
Starting point is 01:48:06 for you because sometimes you got to understand it's not even on you all the time to fight. Some things he wants to fight for you and everything he has fought for me is always one for me. Let's play a joint offer album that's out today. What do you want to hear? Let's do I break.
Starting point is 01:48:23 Okay, let's get into that now. Tell God even though I was in your business, I'm a great person. What did that song mean to you before we get into it? I think that we have to understand that we have to make the decision to say this thing, I can't carry this anymore, whatever that this is, whether it's
Starting point is 01:48:42 generational curses, whether it's negative cycles, in whatever area of your life, you have to make the choice to break that so that you can walk into your full potential and be where you're supposed to be in life. Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself. You cannot control your past. You're not even there anymore. So why are you there trying to go back there mentally you know so you have to bring yourself to now what can I do better but before I'm moving to all these blessings I need to get rid of this stuff that could stop me from really embracing it because you have you ever like been blessed with something and then there's this one thing that your attention is on is keeping you mentally focused on that where you're
Starting point is 01:49:25 not able to fully embrace the blessing that's not what God's plan is for you so that's what this song is for I break it I break it from the root which means I won't know evidence that you don't been here Oh that's so powerful Because I see that with people in your life Most old than you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:49:43 People will get removed from your life And you'd be like You would the cloud The dark cloud all the time And you didn't even realize it Yeah Or it could be a different person But the same spirit
Starting point is 01:49:53 The same cycle And so that's when you have to ask yourself I had to ask myself and in many people, anybody else, what is it in me that keeps allowing this to happen? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:50:08 So it's not necessarily sometimes the person. It could be something that's in you that you have to free yourself from because if you don't fix it, the same thing is going to happen with the next person. Preach, preacher.
Starting point is 01:50:20 I'm tickled. Let's get into the record right now. You want to close this out on a prayer? Sure. Let's do it. Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for everybody who's listening right now. I pray that you will meet them where they are, that they will
Starting point is 01:50:33 fear your love and your compassion. They will feel your heart that you desire to see them prosper and thrive in life. Free them from anything mentally, spiritually, emotionally, that has been holding them in captivity where they're not able to live to their fullest and highest potential. Thank you for new blessings, new seasons of favor. Thank you that this season that you're pushing them into, it would not come with pain. It would not feel like a curse, but it will feel like a blessing and every single thing that you've promised them. We thank you that is done in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
Starting point is 01:51:06 Jekael and Carl. Almond is out today. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Go, go. DJ. Because that's my DJ. I say, go, DJ. Because they're my DJ. Nyla.
Starting point is 01:51:23 Yeah, DJ come spin, I come spinning. What's up, Nala? What's up, Guy. Big Nila, Nila, Nile-L-A. What's happening? How's it going? You know, people say Big N-Y-L-A to me now. Yeah, because you're Big Niala.
Starting point is 01:51:36 They better show some goddamn respect when they see you in the street. I love that. It's so cool. Thank you for that. But, okay, so I'm going to start with this record from J-Wan, who's also Jada K's son, but he came and performed live at the Eco, which is an event thrown by Certified vibe
Starting point is 01:51:52 that we had this past Tuesday with static to like the head spot and Hidden Tiger and Ninth Wonder. And he just dropped a new project. executive produced by Capella Gray. This record is called Might Be. You give me fab vibes. I do like it.
Starting point is 01:52:05 You ruined it for me. For me? Because when you said it was Jadikis' son, you just automatically think, you think a Jada kiss. And then you kind of compare it to kiss and you can't compare it to kiss. 100%.
Starting point is 01:52:16 If you ain't say it, I would have heard it from different ears. Envy is not wrong. And I've listened to a lot of J-1, and I'm going to tell you why I've grown to appreciate what J-1 does by doing exactly what N-B said just now, reminding myself that this is J-D-Kis' son, I cannot look at him through that lens.
Starting point is 01:52:30 I just got to listen to J-1 for J-1. Yeah, it's only, it's J-Wan, but it's only one J-Dakis. Yes, 100%. So I didn't look at it like, okay, you guys are going to think about it. I pay a lot of attention to him because he's J-2nda-Kiss, like I've seen the more Joe Button podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, things will pop up and I look and see because I'm always interested to see, you know, if greatness is genetic.
Starting point is 01:52:53 You know what I mean? Yeah. And he does a lot of cool stuff, you know, but I just, as a rapper, I can't listen to him. You know, when you say Jada Kiss, son, to NB's point, I'm like, okay, I'm expecting something, and I don't want to listen to him with any expectation. Fine, fine, fine, fine. But no, that's a good, it was cool. It was a good record.
Starting point is 01:53:08 Okay, okay. But you ruined it. I like when the beat dropped. He, but honestly, from time to bottom, it honestly felt like something fab put out back in a day. He does remind me of fad. He has, like, a braggadocious flow, rap about girls. If I was him, I would ask people to stop introducing me to Jada Kinsin. Because I promise you, if you would have just played me that record.
Starting point is 01:53:25 That usually helps y'all when I say such and such child. Yeah, but not if he ball. He got to be barring it up like Kiss, though. Like, that's a cool record. Right. Okay. Kiss is, that's a different beast. Okay.
Starting point is 01:53:36 I won't do that no more. I am going to use an associate for this next record, though. For Tyler Watts, we actually met him. Me and you, Charlemagne met him at Black Effect Podcast Festival. He's Joaquist's new artist. You remember? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. He's about to drop his project with the single that they've been pushing right now is called Pretiest Girl.
Starting point is 01:53:54 Was that him or Jauquise? That was him. That was Tyler. Wow. He sounds like. He's dope. He's dope. Yeah, he sounds like Zachquist, though, but he does.
Starting point is 01:54:01 That's crazy, because he looked like a shooter. I would never expect that voice to be coming out of him. He looks like a shooter? Oh, my God. It's the dread? Yeah, the whole aesthetic. I would never expect that voice to be coming out of him. That's why he don't profile people.
Starting point is 01:54:13 Exactly. Okay, to that young man. Yeah, salute to Tyler Watts. His new project is about to drop to, so make sure you guys be on the lookout for him. Next, I'm going to go with this Wale and O'Dill record that NVL Demi about last week. It's called City on Fire. Let me tell you something. to me.
Starting point is 01:54:29 Like, I just, I love his voice. The beginning sounds like a rehearsal, though. And I love O'Dill. I love O'Dill. Yeah. I listen to Wale's new album. Everything is a lot. I've been vibing to that.
Starting point is 01:54:39 I'm going to ride into it. And I don't know what woman broke Wale's heart, but thank you. Thank you for break. Man, let me tell you something. Everything you like about Walee, he completely leaned into on his album. It's like when somebody has completely mastered day powers, this is, have you heard that album? Yeah, did.
Starting point is 01:54:57 You don't, you don't think this is like. classic Waile? I do think so. The intro is. The intro is very emotional. He's talking about his family. That's why he. And he keeps talking about his mom.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Throughout the album, he talks about his mom. Keep asking him when you're going to get married. Somebody clearly broke Wale's heart. And he is putting it out in this album. I think this is some of his best work. Do I got time for one more record or did we just talk it out? Sure. Why not?
Starting point is 01:55:17 Okay. This last one is from Sid. If you guys know about the internet, she's a lead singer in the internet, she's dropping her second solo project and the single off it is called GMFU. I like it because it don't sound like, nothing else. It's cool. Okay.
Starting point is 01:55:30 It's cool. I got to listen to the whole song, but I just like the fact that it don't sound like nothing that's out. It's different. Agreed. Okay.
Starting point is 01:55:38 Envi says it's cool. It's cool. They said you, let me see. How many songs you played? Four. Somebody said two and two. Somebody said two and two.
