But this is you know what I want to do this weekend if I can
I want to see if I can start really getting their Christmas gifts
Prepared and ready
I want to start this early get it out the way
So I don't have nothing to worry about
I got nothing to deal with
So I'm just trying to figure out what they want for Christmas
Because my kids believe in Santa
I was very safe I know they do they all
Do you get six lists every year
Six lists that you have to
conquer. Well, I have a 24 year old and 21
year old. So that... Okay, so I'm 29
giving my mother a list. Yeah, I'm not doing the list.
No, you get a job, you got money, you're
I work, yeah, you'll pay your own list. Now, but for the
the other four, yes, I get a list. And they
tell me exactly what they
want from, from things small,
from LaBou's. Yeah.
To, you know, one of my... Yeah, to the biggest
stuff. But my kids really don't want big stuff.
They just enjoy... My
my dancers just want dance clothes.
Dad can have dance outfits. Dad can have dance
outfits. And my son,
it's kind of easy now
like you don't have to get video games
you can buy them online
so it's no longer
you gotta go to the store
it's kind of easy
they're not in the clothes yet
so it's perfect
that's because you got
grateful kids
like I met your babies
like they are so grateful
they like the smallest things
make them smile
so I love that
yesterday I had to
I had to drive to Queens
which is about
usually about an hour away
from where I live in Jersey
50 minutes
but yesterday because of the traffic
was three hours long
and I was like y'all want to ride with dad
they were like yeah
They roll with me all the way to Queens to Grandpa's house because Grandpa still has an AOL.
Did you know AOL still exist?
Like AOL accounts?
No, I did.
Yeah, my father had an AOL account still and was trying to figure out why I wasn't working.
I was like, I don't think AOL even exists anymore, Dad.
He was like, I'm not getting none of my emails anymore.
I'm like, I don't think AOL works.
So I had to get him from AOL to Gmail because he was confused.
Like, confused.
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.
But the kids were happy just to take that robbery.
They were just happy just to take the vibe with Pops, man.
That was it.
All right.
Well, let's get the show cracking.
Little Rell, Tabitha Brown, Reagan Gomez, and Anna Marie Horsford will be joining us during the new movie.
Unexpected Christmas in theaters today, so we'll be talking to the cast of that.
And also, Jacalyn Car, gospel singer.
I didn't know much about Jacqueline.
Yeah, I'm saying, a Grammy Award winner.
She has, like, countless hits.
She's been nominated for Grammys, I think, up to, like, 11 times.
Like, I love her.
I love her.
And she's so young, but she's doing a thing, man.
Yeah, so we're going to be.
kicking in with the gospel singing, putting some God in your life on this Friday.
And for people who don't know who Anna Marie Horford or Horstford is, right?
That is D from Friday.
That's D from the Wayans Brothers.
That's mom.
That's Craig's mom.
Craig's Mommy Friday, yes.
She was married to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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'm with the coach of Philly
Hello who's this
This is Dale from Jersey
What's up Dale from Jersey
Get her off your chest
What's up man
I'm just trying to figure out
How come you ain't put no bouillon music
A bouillon music originated from Dominica
How come you didn't put no boo yo music
And none of your mixes
Since you came back from the music festival
Bro I only
What up Jess?
I only met in Dominica one time
And it was a huge Creole festival
They played all types
Can I do my homework
Can I see what's popping? Can I
Can I learn to coach your first, too, bro?
I only been to Dominica one time for two days, bro.
For two days.
I got you, I got you.
But you can play somewhere else by a liquor boy.
Someone else by liquor boy?
I'm going to look it up.
I actually read it to a boy of your artist on my way back, and we were talking.
Can I get a little time to figure it out first, sir?
I got you.
I'll be listening to your mix.
Like, let me see he going to throw it in there.
I got you.
I just called me Dominican last week, and now y'all call me Dominique and want me to change the game.
Well, I'm from Dominica, too.
So I already know.
I know the mom.
All right, cool.
He's like, I've been there.
That name of my people.
All right.
Oh, I've been through that since 1999.
Right.
Because most people think people from Dominica mean Dominican Republic.
And then you got to give my history lesson on him.
You just gave up?
Yeah, I just gave up.
All right, brother.
Have a good one.
You too, man.
I'll stay blessed.
Thank you.
Hello.
Who's this?
Ernest.
Ernest.
Good morning.
Good morning.
With the spread, sad news, but did you hear about the
Cowboy that un-olected himself yesterday?
Yeah, the cowboy player that committed suicide.
Lauren's going to break it down in the latest.
Very, very, very sad.
Yeah, he scored the first touchdown and then it ends like this.
Yeah.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-105-1.

Yes, I'm Dr. Priyanka 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?
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,
are pre-diabetic. How preventable is type two?
Extremely. Or our in-depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are.
Oh, it's hard to explain to the rest of the world that you, 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 IHeartRadio app,

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 prime time wide open.
I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others.
But for me, I saw myself in his story.
From cleaning canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways.
On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderama,
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.
This is the story of how one man's spotlight
lit the path for so many others
and how we carry his legacy today.

Along the Central Texas Plains, teens are dying, suicides that don't make sense,

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.
Not twice.
Stunned.
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.

They actually lose it.
They sort of went nuts.

to the Cizza and Nikki Minaj conversation
just did a sit down with GQ
I did want to take a moment to send an RIP
to Marshawn Neeland who was a Dallas Cowboys defensive end
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.

For people that want to go check this movie
What are they expected
In this unexpected Christmas movie?
If I'm giving it away though
Correct
Mm-hmm
Kick us off
Byrale
You'll do this a million times
Yeah but it's tough
It tells a lot
It's such a conversation piece
And like I have to be playing
Richard is
I kind of got his back most of the time
So I'm trying out to say stuff without telling people
But it is a beautiful movie
It's really funny
It's a lot of drama in it
But the drama end up making sense
And then you see people come
It's healthy drama
It has love in it
It has faith in it
It's just and it has food in it
But it is
This is a different twist
than you've seen in other Christmas movies
And that's why I really love
That's why I wanted to do it in the first place
Yeah
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?
Because black families got so much drama.
But as long as there's resolution.
That's very true.
That's the part.
That means we're making something good for the black family.
That's the part.
And, you know, people come home for the holidays
and you might not have seen your family all year
and you've been mad at them about something.
But now you see them at the table.
It's like, oh, we're going to talk about this right now.
That's life.
And that's about to come up because we've got a few more weeks.
We've got Thanksgiving.
There you go.
There's a conversation.
I need to have with my family.
You know, so this movie will help me do it.
That's right.
It's a healthy, healthy drama.
Absolutely.
Well, don't bring a lot of company with you
if you want to tell the truth,
because black people don't like telling me too much.
Oh, she got a new home family on the other side.
Okay.
Oh.
Yeah, because my husband is half Mexicans, so they...
Oh.
He said, oh.
He said, oh.
You don't know what they say about that.
You don't know what they say about that.
You know.
need that, you know, I got one Spanish word for it.
That's so good.
See, that's why you gotta learn.
You gotta learn.
I'm trying.
They have those apps now.
You can put it.
You don't have to tell them you know what they say.
There you go.
Oh, and that's the way.
You can hear what that's saying.
They can't get the Spanish and your ear app
will tell you they're going to look at the baby,
make sure it's his.
Okay.
You know, check the tolls and the ears and stuff.
Because I don't you know, that's right.
A little bit, not a lot.
You got your last name, Gomez.
It is, it is.
But, like, a lot of Puerto Ricans.
A lot of us don't speak Spanish, so, yeah, but I am.
My mom's Puerto Rican, for sure.
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Ms. Postman looking at you, like, I'm just, I'm just real.
I'm just, you're Dominican.
And my mother said, and I said, how come you teach her Spanish?
She said, in case I wanted to say something bad about your father.
Oh.
I want you all to know.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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.

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.
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.

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.
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,
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?
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.
Like Thomas Edison and the electric chair.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
It's for you
It's for yourself
And so
Forgiveness
Even in family
Doesn't mean
We have to be together
Right
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you.
Sound track out right now.
Sound track out right now.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Jess O'Lariah.
Shalameen, the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a straight fat.
Tell her.
She gets him from somebody that knows somebody.
She gets to D.
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit
about everything.
She'd be having the latest on this.
The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details,
sometimes you have a little bit everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
All right, y'all, so yesterday I went to Clarissa Shield's
press luncheon that she had here in New York City
after she announced her $80 million fight contract.
What was it at?
It was at Say Less.
Okay.
In the city, yeah.
She had shut down Say Less.
It was a private event.
It was me.
It was very intimate.
It probably had like about like maybe 10 outlets there.
It's me, TMZ, a bunch of different people.
Free food.
Free food, drinks, you know?
She took good care of us.
A bird, yes.
Girls love free, say less.
That's right.
But yeah, so she took care of us.
But we got a chance to talk to her.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Definitely.
We, we're, it's here, though.
Like, it's got through it.
God is good.
Everybody's healthy.

Charlemagne opens it up on a Friday,

It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's your time
to nominate a donkey of your own.
Remember now?
That's how they choose.
Call in now.
800-585-105-1.
Donkey today for Friday,
November 7th is the People's Donkey.
You know every Friday,
we open up the phone lines,
1-800-585-105-1.
and we allow people to call up here
and give anybody they want the credit they deserve
for being stupid. So, hello, who's this?
Yo, it's Too Sharp from Birmingham.
Too Short?
Too Short.
Oh, Too Sharp.
Who you want to get the biggest He-Ha to, Too-Sharp?
Hey, hi-Haw. I got to give that to you, bro.
Talk to me.
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?
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.
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?
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.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
You're a little trick, right?
Yes.
Okay.
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?
Good morning. This is Keith.
Who?
Keisha.
Kisha. Who you want to get the biggest he-haw to, Kisha?
I want to give it to Sholomey. Talk to me.
Sholomey and the God, please.
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
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
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.
On the podcast Health Stuff, we are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night.
Yes, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally, a double board certified physician.
And I'm Hurricane Dabolu, a comedian and someone who once Googled,
Do I Have Scurvy at 3 a.m?
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 mangoes are.
Oh, it's hard to explain
to the rest of the world
that 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.

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 prime time wide open.
I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions
of others.
But for me, I saw myself in his story.
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.
This is the story of how one man's spotlight
lit the path for so many others
and how we carry his legacy today.

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.
Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people.
There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.
Listen to paper ghosts.

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, 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? 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. Like Thomas Edison and the
electric chair. Listen to

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. Not twice.
Stunned.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Because
Memphis right
Yes
Memphis Tennessee
West Memphis Arkansas
Country
And so I
Yeah when I heard my music
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Envi says it's cool.
It's cool.
They said you,
let me see.
How many songs you played?
