But, no, you're a TV fan. Yeah, because, yeah, I am. Don't play with me. And we're on TB. You right. So don't play with me. You right. You're on TV, too.

I said, okay, too shay. All right. On a couple shows, don't be playing. So look, it's this movie, yo. Oh, my God, I forgot what it's called. Oh, my God. No, it's called, your mother something. It's so good, though, yo.

Oh, my God. I had it in my mind, but I forgot. Sometimes the TV movies. It clearly ain't that good if you can't remember the title of it. Sometimes the movies be so good, you forget the title. What is it about? I'm about somebody. Mother, your lady.

The title is called, Your Mother said pay your bills. It's the first of the damn month, okay? Today is October 1st. Y'all better have y'all goddamn rent and y'all light bills and, you know, everything else that need to be paid is due today. It's called Ocean's View. I'm sorry, it's about a girl who mother, her mother was on crack or whatever, right?

And so she was a prostitute, too. And she grew up to be like her mother because my mother put her in that profession or whatever, right? And then her mother just left for one of the Jones, just left or straight left or whatever. And he, like, raised her, but then he got killed. And so she maneuvering through this prostitution world or whatever, looking for her mother.

Her mother named was Cece. By the way, C.C. played a real good career kid. They all from Detroit or whatever. And it was so good. I don't want to, like, give it all the way, but it was so good. Detroit, is one of those Detroit movies? Yes, it's, a real, real Detroit-based movie. And it's so good, y'all.

Y'all got to watch it. It's called Oceansville. The girl was called Oceans. It's about prostitution. Okay. Detroit definitely does some of the best Tube movies. They do, yo. I love it. So, same a then.

It's called Joke Telling Business. And we'll talk to them a little bit. We got Front Page News with Mimi, and she'll be breaking down everything that's going on with the federal government. Will it be shut down? Oh, my God. Donald Trump and more Donald Trump. I'm sorry.

All right. Mimi got all that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Hilary. Sholomey and the guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now let's start up for some quick. Sports. Now, yesterday, the Indiana fever beat, or lost to the AIS. No, they didn't. I said, lost to the Aces. 107.98. Now, yesterday also was some baseball news. No, hold on. I stayed up and watched that game last night. That was a fantastic game. It wasn't in the overtime, man. Drop on the Clues bonds for the Las Vegas Aces. South Carolina's own, Asian Wilson. Her and Jackie Young balled out. I think they were the first duo in WNBA history to score 30 points in a playoff game together. Well, that's why you stayed up because it was your people's playing.

Yeah, I mean, I'm a WNBA fan, but I definitely like watching the Las Vegas Aces. Yeah, so they will be taking on the Mercury in the 2025 WNBA finals. Now, in baseball, of course, it's the wild card. Tigers beat the Guardians 2-1. Cubs beat the Padres, 3-1. The Red Sox beat the Yankees. That was surprising yesterday. 3-1, and Dodgers beat the Reds 10-25.

Hey, as loud as Dominicans are, how come it feel like baseball would be such a quiet sport? I don't even be knowing baseball or beyond. The playoffs, you said? It's the playoffs. Yeah, it's quiet into the playoffs. I mean, it's on everywhere now. I don't know how you missed it. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I haven't heard much about baseball either. I usually hear more about it, yeah. But you're Dominican, envy, so in your circle it's very, very loud. My goodness. Well, you know, the Mets, everybody expected the Mets to do well, like way better than they were and they were eliminated so people were, you know, stressed out and pissed off

about the Mets, but the Yankees are busted ass well, they were until last night. But we'll be back. we'll be back. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NB, Jess Charlamagne. How are y'all doing this morning? Hey, girl. Peace, Mimi. Good morning, good morning. Okay, so it's official. The government shut down overnight. Lawmakers missed a deadline, and now the clock is ticking on just how long this will last. Now, with no short-term spending deal, Washington is closed for business.

At the center of this fight, Democrats want to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, which help more than 24 million Americans afford health. insurance. They're also resisting cuts to Medicare and Medicaid included in President Trump's so-called big, beautiful bill. Now, Republicans argued those debates should wait and instead push a clean funding bill with no extras. But in the end, neither side gave in. Both proposals failed and the government shutdown began. Now, this is the fourth shutdown of the century, the first since 2019. That one dragged on for 35 days, the longest in U.S. history. And President Trump has already signaled that this one could be even tougher. His administration has ordered agencies to furlough workers, and he's threatened that some of those layoffs could become permanent.

Now, yesterday at a press conference in the Oval Office, the president, he is turning up the pressure, saying he could also slash government programs during the shutdown. Let's listen to that. We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like. We can do things medically and other ways, including benefits. I truly think it's a disgrace whenever the government shuts down. When political parties can't agree on something as basic as a budget, you know, to keep the government running, what does that say about our elected officials, that they don't care about our government programs, that they don't

care about, you know, things like your health care. Like, they don't care about these federal workers, you know, not having employment. Like, what does that say about them? On both sides of the aisle. On both sides of the aisle and the everyday people. So President Trump, he didn't say which benefits he's alluding to. But to your point, Charlemagne, let's talk about what's at stake. So millions of federal workers are now caught in the middle of the shutdown. They are still required to show up for duty but without a paycheck.

That includes TSA agents, air traffic controllers, the military, even federal prison guards. They'll eventually get paid, but right now they're working for free. museums, parks, even some veteran services will close their doors. Student loan payments are still due. Interests will keep piling and forgiveness application could face delays. And here's the other part that's frustrating a lot of people while families are missing paychecks and services are stalling. Members of Congress will still receive their pay because the Constitution protects their

salary. Yeah, don't call me essential if you're not paying me. You know what I'm saying? Don't call me an essential worker if you know you can. can't if you if you don't feel like uh i should be getting paid at the moment like you want me to come to work for free while y'all figure it out but i'm essential it's just crazy how this keeps it keeps happening right like if a problem keeps happening it feels like this they should do something to solve it long-term contracts figure a long-term way to figure this out where every six months

or every four months we don't have to go through the same thing because what's really happening is people are starting to ignore it because it's like oh here it goes is happening again they're going to work it out later but we need to a long-term fix you know who's not ignoring it then federal who are getting furloughed, and federal workers who ain't getting no money, they definitely not ignoring it. Nope. Exactly. And so while Washington stays stuck, as you guys said, this is a bigger ripple effect for families, for businesses, and for the economy. But the White House now is touting a new move that it says will save Americans millions of dollars.

President Trump says his administration has struck a deal with Pfizer to cut the price of many of its drugs. the discount up to 85% on certain medicines would be offered through a new federal website called Trump RX. The idea is to let patients by directly from the drug maker giving the insurance middleman. I know, Charlemagne, but this is what, you know, the administration says it could launch early in 2026 and it would be open to everyone, not just Medicaid patients.

To your point, the details are very thin. It's not clear whether people will be able to use their insurance or if It will be cash only. Now, Trump, he touted this yesterday as a really big announcement and promised more deals with other companies. Pfizer in return will get a three-year grace period from Trump's planned tariffs on drugs made overseas. We talked about that yesterday.

But experts warned the deal may not live up to the hype and caution that those same tariffs could actually be pushing drug prices up for families in the long run. So we'll have to wait and see what Trump R.X looks like and how that is going to save millions of Americans money on their preempts. prescriptions. Trump R.X. looks and sounds like a griff. It sounds like one of the biggest heist ever in American history. It sounds like the president of the United

States and his people are going to continue to get rich while the rest of the country don't get a goddamn thing. We'll see. All right, well, coming up at 7, a childhood favorite is making a big return. We'll tell you what classic is coming back for a new generation.

Oh, my God. SpongeBob or no? No, not SpongeBob, but we'll get to it. We'll get to it. everybody else get it off your chest 800 585-105-1 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800 585105-1 is the breakfast club good morning this is your time to get it off your chest wake wake up whether you're mad or blast

it's time to get up and get something call up now 800 585 101 we want to hear from you on the breakfast club hello who's this hello this is bianca from Atlanta how y'all are y'all doing breakfast club Good morning. What's up? Bejanka. Good morning.

I just wanted to tap into the Tyrese Gibson incident that happened here in Buckhead not too long ago where his dog, four dogs was actually, they were dog-at-large running loose and they attacked the neighbors. Are you the neighbor? Are you the neighbor whose dog got attacked and killed? Look, I ain't got enough money to live up there in Buckhead yet. I like how you say yet. I like that. That's right.

That's right. That's right. That's right. yeah, it's coming. I just wanted to touch on that real quick. I understand that being an animal owner in Georgia, Atlanta

especially, it's not easy. It's not easy at all. It requires a lot of resources and it requires a lot of money, which a lot of people do not have right now. So also, I know that Tyrese has mental health issues and I know

that his animals, he used those animals for his mental health. That being said, I want Uncle Shalah to really iterate, like, how do you incorporate what you do with mental health with people who have animals? Like, how can that tie into mental health tie into the progression of animal care? I don't think I quite understand your question. What's the question you're asking, Marjor? Are you saying people who used animals for emotional support?

Oh, you said, hello? Oh, she hung up. I think she was saying, you know, how do people who have mental problems take care of dogs? Is that what she was trying to say? Like, basically, he does not take care of. I was confused. I don't understand the question. I think basically she's trying to say, how can you help Tyrese in his mental state right now with what he's going through?

His dog just killed somebody. He may have to put them down. I mean, not somebody. killed another dog so and she's saying him being so stressed out by that and him may have you know he might potentially have to give up his dogs or put him down or whatever we gave a dog yeah gave him up how would you help him on the mental health side that's what you got from what she said that's the only way to make it make sense i don't know i don't understand what she was asking me that's probably why she hung up i don't know she was probably damn i don't know well feel free to call

back, man. Hello, who's this? Yo, DJ Grumpy, big chocolate to toastucker. How are you? Good morning everybody. Two quick things. First of all, tell that fat, greasy bastard earthquake, stop eating 50 burgers a day and go on a diet. That's number one. Number two,

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Kila, D-N-V, Kila. Hey, Kila, good morning.

Where are you calling from? I'm calling from Newark. From Newark. What's up, Nork? Talk to us, Kila. Okay, so for one, I want to give you guys some love. I talked to you guys last week. I love you all.

I'm so glad you answered the phone again. Thank you, Kila. I basically want to act and show a name about the mental health thing that's happening this week in Newark. Yes, ma'am. Also, I wanted to share. So I'm a teacher, right? And I have a parent who I had their child last year. who I tried everything in my power

to give extra help and her parent trying to back door and get me in trouble that I gave her daughter a bag that was too heavy this year her mother making up something different I am so over parents

just making up problems that don't matter versus focusing on things that's really serious it's overwhelming I got a solution for parents she can take her daughter out of my class and we can put another kid in my room

who's willing and ready to learn I think that's a fair example I think that's a fair, fair exchange. How old are the kids? I'm a second grade teacher, and the kids told her mom that I did something that I didn't do, and I really don't want to go to work, worried about children telling stories

and moms believing whatever they want to hear. So when I go to work today, I got a better solution. So mom ain't got a worry, I ain't got a worry, we could just take her out of my room. Yeah. Carla, you know, it's crazy? You know, in a situation like that, you know, your son or daughter comes home and says,

a teacher did this. Yeah. But then you talk to the teacher, the teacher, says, no, I didn't. Who do you believe in that point? Well, you always got to keep in mind. My thing is, you know, your child. Yeah.

I mean, kids do lie. Yeah, but kids do lie. Yeah, yeah. You're going to want to believe your child. You know, you got to, you know, you just, it depends because it goes, it's case by case, it's situation by situation. My kid, Ash, he was a little liar, and I knew he was a little edge starter. You know what I'm saying?

So he would come home and lie on teachers. Now, Rome would believe him, but because I knew how he was, I didn't. I have, I would have to hear both sides, you know, so kids like, I apologize. And I'm not saying don't believe your child, but you know your children. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. And I was your child teacher last year. If you really felt any way about me, as soon as you realize who your child teacher this year was,

you should have immediately changed. Yeah. Yeah, question, ma'am, why don't y'all, like, have conversations like you, the parent, and the child? And then, you know, all, y'all can just hash everything out. And, you know, whatever was said, you know, brought to the forefront. It was brought to me yesterday, and I just was sleeping on it. And when you guys answered the phone, I said, I'm talking about it. So it was brought to me yesterday after school, and I was just thinking, I want to be solution-oriented, right?

So I was thinking of a solution. Oh, it just happened. And because I know the kind of parent you are, my solution is the nipping in the bud. Because I know the kind of teacher I am. I think the solution is you. One of your supervisors, a parent and the student having a conversation about what the student said, and if you didn't say that, then, you know, you didn't say that. But you remember what she said, she knows the parent.

The type of parent that is, having this child in her class last year. And she probably knows that the parent ain't going to want to hear it. It's going to be more of a headache. It's too much, right, right. And not only that we're in September. We're in September. So why even deal with something for the whole year? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and this is happening at the beginning. Yeah, and it sounds like you're scared to the fade a little bit. It sounds like you're scared of the fade a little bit. It is not like a clown. They have a job that they used to keep. Salah, do not have them job and diamonds on me trying to figure out where I work at. Carla, there's no home from North. Okay, Charlotte, there's no problem to say no thing.

Salute to the Brick City. But, Carla, you do know a lot of times when these students, you know, go through things, a lot of times is what they're going through at home and they're, you know, and they're... Yes, but I'm here to help. Like, even last year, I'm here to help. Like, I gave this person personal materials to help their child throughout the son. I'm that teacher that go that extra now. So when you do that extra stuff,

I'm in the... I'm with you. You know, you've got a particular piece of you teaching. No, but when you're at Mental Health Expo? Oh, it's us. Next Saturday, October 11th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Joel and Diane Bloom, Wellness and Event Center. It's a free event.

That's a real thing, yo. teachers be dealing with a lot you know not even just elementary school middle school high school man these kids get they just get so disrespectful but you know like you said the sad thing about it like you know talking to teachers a lot of times these kids coming with problems is because they have been so many problems

at home yeah and they don't know how to deal with it at home so they take that anger and energy out on their class base to teachers which is sad so I think about that I think about that all the time and my mom you know the public school teacher in South Carolina for damn there 40 years now maybe over 40 years and I'm like

She used to have to deal with them badass kids, didn't come home and deal with me. Oh, yes, and you bit people. I already know. I ain't never bite nobody. You was like a little Doug, peri, just running around. What is a little Doug?

We got the latest with Lauren coming up. What's up, Lauren? Good morning. Yes, we do. You look so happy. But you ain't go to court yesterday? You look happy. She looked at her boyfriend yesterday.

No, stop, boy. She looked in love. Wow. You're in love? Yes. You were in love? You're going to court on Friday, October 3rd. Y'all getting married?

Which one are you marrying on Friday? I already asked you to pay for the wedding and you said no, so don't talk to you. I know what marriage. No, go to the court like a little Delaware baby mama should. Wow. Oh, wow. Wow. Well, first of all, I got no kids and I will not just know.

Wow. No, she ate to baby moms. but I want to be married in a church and I want to be in a family and I am a wife and don't tell me that I know that's right no shade to baby moms though

you know I got some in my family don't take you a shine away I said you shine in my family I got some in my family I'm trying to break generational cases I get it okay what are we doing the ladies with Lauren

the ladies with Lauren so it is about court because yesterday the judge decided that he is not going to acquit of any charges no new trial and the fans are saying they won ditty in jail for over

11 years, 11 years in a couple months. So we're going to talk about it. Damn. All right. It's looking rough. We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Come on her. Lauren becoming a straight bad. She gets into somebody that knows somebody.

She gets to detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. 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. So yesterday, last night, the judge in Diddy's case actually submitted his decision on whether Diddy's charges can be acquitted or if he can get a new trial, and he said no. So basically what the judge is saying is that Diddy's arguments that he's making in order to ask for these things don't stand. Some of the things that he mentioned in his letter, it was a 16-page letter that he submitted in response. He talked about, you know, the whole back and forth around like with the definition of prostitution.

And, you know, he's saying what Diddy is saying. doesn't stand. He also mentions the fact that Diddy's team kept leaning on at the time that people were being transported, the intention wasn't to have sex. Remember, it was like, oh, we just were inviting them to enjoy time with them. And if they decided to do that, that was their choice. The judge also

wasn't buying that as well. So the judge is saying that the judge is saying that because of this Diddy will have to go into sentencing and he's not going to grant any of this whatsoever. And at the same time, like right before this letter came in, the prosecutors, they begin submitting their sentencing package.

Now, that's a sentencing package. It's almost 200 pages long. And in there, they say Diddy should serve 11 years in three months and also pay up to $500,000 in fines. And the reason why they're saying this is, well, first of all, you know, with both of the man at counts, he's looking at up to 20 years, 10-H, right, for each count. They're saying that, you know, Diddy's team is trying to point to, and in the letters that they submitted from all these people, trying to point to him,

being a changed man and you know him working on himself and wanting to continue to work on himself and abide by the law and all these things and they point directly to the apology that Diddy issued after the Cassie beating video came out and they also mentioned the fight

that he got into with the woman who was listed as Jane while he was waiting for all of the trial stuff to begin like in the midst of all that stuff after he knew he was indicted now I will all I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County,

Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls, came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice

to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her

and I did not kill her or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say

that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up.

I'm Dr. Leslie, forensic psychologist. I advocate for safety and awareness of predators while wearing pink.

When you were described to me as a forensic psychologist, I was like snooze. We ended up talking for hours, and I was like, this girl is my best friend. This is a podcast where I cut through the noise with sarcasm, satire, and hard truths. I'm not going to fake it and force it. But would you force an orgasm? Because that's like a different layer. The car accident you didn't want to see, but couldn't turn away. from. In this episode, I discussed personal safety and self-defense, tools, instincts, and

strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in everyday life and high-risk situations. Listen to intentionally disturbing on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'll say in that Jane's situation, people were pointing out the fact that she got on the stand and said that she got physical with him first. But the prosecutors do use that point in say, you know, he busts through five doors at this time. This man is not somebody who's going to look at the law and abide

by it because he's used to having power. There's also a letter from Cassie that was submitted yesterday, not only from her, but also her parents submitted a letter on the prosecution's behalf. Her ex-Sylus and a really close friend and also someone who's formerly a friend of a ditties, a guy named Deonté Nash,

and a few other people submitted some letters. And in Cassie's letter, she talks about a lot. One of the biggest things that she says is that she feels like her time on the stand shows why people don't really care for victims or care to protect victims. She says, you know, the jury and all these people watched her testify about everything that happened to her, all of the beating, all the bruises, all these things. And yet, and still, you know, there were a lot of things that Diddy's not going to have to answer to in court. But the things that he will have to answer to these two counts of the man act, he should.

And it is a, it's an injustice to allow him to serve a lesser sentence because of anything. She talks about still having nightmares over the situations that she's been through with Diddy. She talked a little bit about the suicide attempt that she talked about on the stand as well. Was Cassie involved with some of those as well? Like some of those, I would say, prostitutes said that Cassie reached out to them and they had things with Cassie without Ditty there, right? No? No, I don't remember anything without Ditty. I'm asking.

I do wonder if. Cassie's testimony would have been received differently if Diddy was actually on trial for the domestic violence. We saw him administer to Cassie. Yes. Yeah. And I will say, though, like, I think her, yeah, for sure. I think what she's saying is, is that, you know, he wasn't, and she doesn't directly say this, but I inferred from what I read that it's like he didn't, the RICO charges didn't stick, right? But now you have these two men at counts. And just because the bigger charges are what people view are the bigger charges didn't stick, let's not act like something wasn't done where I was put in fear and I was, you know, I was made to believe

I had to do these things. And she says for over a decade, Sean Combs made me feel powerless and unimportant. My experience was real and horrific and that deserves to be considered. While the jury did not seem to understand that, understand or believe that I engaged in free cause because the force and coercion that the defendant used against me, I know that that is the truth. And his sentence should reflect that, should reflect their reality of the evidence and my lived experience as a victim. So that's her whole point. She says she's still having nightmares and that she's scared that if he's able to come home anytime soon, that

he can retaliate. She alleges that Diddy would retaliate against her or family members because these are things that they've experienced before. I mean, there's nobody who, you know, saw that video and can't understand what Kathy is coming from with that letter. But I do know, I bet you

Diddy sits around sometimes and says, what did I even pay Kathy for? What a waste of $30 million? She still testified against him. Right? Let us to keep him however much it was. I know sometimes he'd be like, what did I even pay her for? Yeah.

Yeah, no, that's facts. Because the whole idea of the payment was so that she wouldn't go against them on court, right? And she wouldn't put out this lawsuit, but spanking them on her ass anyway. Man. I was going to say, I mean,

we don't got to get into that now because I don't even think it matters. But on Cassie's side, I'm sure she's traumatized. And I'm sure she has to read this each and every day. And every time somebody talks about it, it pops up on her feed, her page, her family member. Her kids are going to get to her age where they're going to start to see it.

So, yeah, I'm sure it's traumatizing. And her letter to the judge, she said she had to relocate all of her family from New York. And that is because obviously she's scared about what she alleged she's scared about what might happen to her and, you know, once anyone's able to make something happen. Yeah, and I know people like to say, oh, well, you know, she got paid, you know, so she should be cool. That don't make that trauma go away. That don't make that fear for the individual go away. yeah no she says she's still actively working every single day um to to be okay um now i i will say though

this the decision on the acquittal and you know all of that i've been saying for like probably like a week or so that the judge's attitude about all of that is going to kind of tell us what maybe where he's going to lean at sands and wise i think that is looking bad for did he i was thinking maybe you know they would get closer to maybe like two three years but now i'm kind of like i don't know if the judge really believes that you know i think that the judge may believe that there's more time needed in this case for Diddy to really rehabilitate himself but that's just my prediction I don't know if you guys have any predictions of what you think is going to happen I was why it was I don't

want to bet with Lauren because Lauren you know she got top dog law in her back pockets she's probably sitting around talking to the top dog law attorney about what the hell's going on I would say this I was thinking time served beforehand but I don't think that anymore I don't I just just from what you've been telling us when you go to court and the attitude of the judge and what they've been saying And I don't see time served. I don't. Me?

I don't know. Yeah. Is this on Draft Kings? Is it on prize picks? I'm sure it is. It's probably on some. I don't know. I'm sure it is, though.

Yeah, so sentencing happens on Friday. So we literally two days away from Ditty being sentenced. What time? 10 a.m. Friday, 10 a. Yes, I'm going to be there. Yes, I'm going to be there. Yeah, I don't know what sentence Diddy is going to get,

but I know one thing. It's nothing worse than being at the mercy of them people. There's nothing worse than being at the mercy of the But the reality of the situation is, did he put himself in this situation? So now you've got to deal with the consequences of his actions. Yeah. So we'll see what happens. I'll keep you guys updated.

All right. Well, that is the latest with Laura. Now, when we come back, we got front page news and then earthquake. Comedian Earthquake will be joining us. He has a new Netflix special joke telling business. We'll talk to him in a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports Now last night

The Indiana Fever versus the Aces Asis 1-107-98 Charlemagne you stayed up for that game right I did man It went in the overtime It was a great game Jackie Long and Asian Wilson

South Carolina's own Agent Wilson When I tell you they balled out last night They were the first WNBA duo To have 30 plus points A piece in the playoffs Man it was a great game

Yeah and also This is actually The Aces has been to the finals Three years out of the last four years Oh, wow. You see a third trip to the final in the last four years? Sluke to the aces. And in baseball yesterday, of course, we're in the playoff season.

The Dodgers beat the Reds 10-5. The Red Sox beat the Yankees yesterday. The Yankees had a bunch of chances to win that game and lost last night. I stayed up for that game. Cubs beat the Padres 3-1. Tigers beat the Guardians 2-1. What's up, Mimi? Happy Wednesday.

We're learning more about that unusual meeting taking place at Quantico yesterday, where Defense Secretary Pete Hex-Seth abruptly summoned hundreds of top generals and admirals from around the world. Now, at first, many feared it would be about loyalty tests or major shakeups. Instead, it turned into a mix of familiar talking points from Hexseth and President Trump. But with a few new warnings that are raising eyebrows this morning, let's take a listen to some of those key moments. I call it the N-word.

There are two N-words and you can't use either of them. And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank. There goes your future. I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape. or in combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men. It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. Being a racist has been illegal in our formation since 1948.

The same goes for sexual harassment. Both are wrong and illegal. But telling someone to shave or get a haircut or to get in shape or to fix their uniform or to show up on time or to work hard, that's exactly the kind of discrimination we want. Portland, Oregon, where it looks like a war zone. Unless they're playing false tapes, this looks like. like World War II. San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. We're going to straighten them out one by one. That's a war, too. It's a war from within. I told Pete, we should use some of these

dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. Now they like to say, oh, you're not allowed to use the military. Oh, that's what the oath says foreign and domestic. Well, we also have domestic. To our enemies, F-A-F-O. Yo, I wish I would have seen Jess face, but she heard two N words we can't use. Yes, was like, is this a hell? Well, that's one of Trump's greatest hits right there. He's been saying that for a while. That's one of his greatest lines.

He loves that bar. But, you know, yesterday looked, felt, and sounded like an attempt to get the military to pledge loyalty to the Trump administration. It was a place straight out of any authoritarian playbook. When you have the military on your side, you can project authority, especially on the citizens of your own country. He could use the military

to suppress protests, elections, and intimidate opposition, and just to stay in power, Meaning stay in office if he chooses to That's what yesterday felt like It felt like his first attempt At flipping the military Yeah

Definitely didn't I would say one other thing too I don't know about y'all But to me it feels like The days are moving slow With Trump in office Because I just look up How much time he got left

He still got three years Like it's moving slow as hell I don't think so It feels like it's moving fast But it don't even matter You're saying he still got three years Remember what I just said Yeah

That felt like he was Trying to flip the military Because when you got the military on your side, you can stay in power, meaning stay in office. Because you got, y'all talking about the ballot. I'm talking about the bullets. Damn. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, that was a highlight real of some of the greatest moments or not, depending how you look at it, some of the highlight moments of what they were talking about yesterday. You know, I think a lot of what's getting a lot of attention this morning is Trump talking about turning U.S. cities into training ground, making it clear that he wants a tougher posture against what he calls. calls the enemy within. And so we're seeing that as he deploys the National Guard into some of our cities that we've been talking about there.

And basically telling them if you don't pledge loyalty to me, I'm going to fire you. It goes your rank. You know, they go like, what are we talking about here? Like, that is textbook authoritarian strategy. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. There was a lot happening there.

And another wave of bomb threats that are hitting historically black in colleges, and universities on Tuesday. Morgan State, Townsend University in Maryland, Delaware State University and Alabama A&M were all forced into emergency evacuations. Police later gave the all clear, but the threats follow a disturbing pattern that has left students and faculty on edge. So last month we talked about this, several HBCUs, including Morehouse, Hampton, and Bethune Cookman. They all face similar situations. Law enforcement has confirmed that all of those were false threats, but each one was treated as a credible threat

until investigators finished their searches. Now the Congressional Black Caucus is pressing the Justice Department and the FBI to act calling the threats vile and stressing that protecting students is not optional but a moral obligation. All right now. Homecoming season coming around. Y'all better stop playing around now.

Yeah. We're seeing a lot of attacks on HBCUs there. And Jess, this is what I was talking about. So a classic, a childhood classic is making a comeback. I'm talking about reading Rainbow. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's returning nearly 20 years after its last episode aired. The beloved PBS series, once hosted by LaVar Burton, now has a new host, Michael Threats, better

known online as Michael, the librarian. He's built a huge following by sharing everyday library stories and talking openly about mental health. He's known for connecting with kids in a way that makes books feel like friends. which is exactly what Reading Rainbow is all about. Now, the original Reading Rainbow, it launched in 1983. It ran for 21 seasons. It mission was powerful but simple to help kids fall in love with reading.

And the new version will carry that tradition with fresh episodes, celebrity guests, and of course, plenty of new books. The new episodes will drop Sundays on Kids, Zucos. That's a kids' YouTube channel from Sony Pictures. And it will also stream on the Reading Rainbow website. I bet you most people from our generation who do, didn't grow up on reading Rainbow can't read. And I don't think we should even trust people

who can't sing the Reading Rainbow theme song. Like as soon as I say Butterfly in the Sky, you should know where to take it from there. If you don't, you probably can't read. And I ain't had nobody in the room take it from there. That's the point I know. Butterfly is a lot. And you ain't stop talking, clown butterfly in the sky.

I can go twice as high. Take a look. Take a look. It's in a book. A reading rainbow. Rainbow, I can go anywhere, friends to know and ways to grow a reading rainbow. Dropping the clues bond for Shaka Khan. You know that was Shaka Khan.

I didn't know that. No, that's what's sad. Yeah, that was Shaka Khan. This reading rainbow is coming at a time when books are being banned and teachers are being silent. So, you know, it's a really good thing that this generation will get to experience that. And so that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV.

He has a new Netflix special called Joke-Telling Business. We'll talk to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Sholomey Naga, we are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. La Rosa is here with us as well.

Special guests in the building, comedian, Earthquake. Earthquake. How you doing? Good morning, babe. Well, thank you for having me. It's always honor to be here with y'all, man. Congratulations. You just got married recently.

Yes, I did. Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill at the wedding. Yeah. How much is this wedding cost? About 450,000. What? Irquite got it? That's light here.

We make that in the weekend. You make that in the weekend. That's light for Earthquake. It was my day, not just my wife. She didn't want to have a big wedding. She wanted to do a destination. I was like, no, I want everybody here what you tell me. So I want proof, you know what I mean?

And it was my day. It was a beautiful day. All my friends was there, all the comedians was there, and it was beautiful. It was it was everything I dreamed of for my day. What did you want to finally, you know, settle down? The right one. I always looked for it. I mean, I've always believed in quality over quantity.

The only reason I had quality because I didn't have quality. So until I found that person, then it was it. I never, my man who was never based upon how many women I've been with or that type of thing, I'm not down like that. I was always new. I used to say in my jokes all the time, people were like, well, Quake, why ain't you made it? I say, because I'm one good black woman for making it. Damn. And I always knew that.

You know, I was never going to get the success that I got right now until I found her. You know, I listened to you, the foundation. you have to have that you said and I always research I just could not find that partner you know and you know you know is you look for Miss Wright not Miss right now

and then nothing wrong with them my past women they just wasn't my woman they wasn't right for me and I don't settle so you just gave a great ball for anybody out there that's a hole because you said the only reason I was after I had so much quantity is because I couldn't find quality

next time anybody I think you called a hole use that line that's a great line damn yeah it's the truth I mean because this is non-profitable I mean there's nothing in it if you that was a good one too

it's non-possible I mean but really if you really think about it if you break it down it's the situation in for any man if you don't love it you're just sleeping with

it's just for a feeling so I have other things that give me just as much satisfaction of that feeling in being with a woman so you get what I'm saying so it didn't feel

that poet that it was looking for until I found her. And Johnny is one of your best friends? One of my best friend, J.G. People don't know he's one of the funniest dude out. I bring him on my show sometime. And we've been friends for many years. How'd that happen? Well, he is from D.C. and

I've followed him a lot of times. And then I actually got to meet him at a club and we kicked it all from there and we've been friends ever since. That's dope. That's my man right there. He's my man. That's my man. Got the new comedy special Comedy special dropped the day

Joke telling business Because that's what I am in I'm really to tell comedians It's time to be funny If you're gonna say you're a comedian And fly that banner Be funny You know what I mean

Or take the banner down You know this is what we do And I thought it was up to me At being in this game I'm in the joke telling business So all the other stuff y'all are talking about The people that want to be Pernosticators

Or Nostradama Selling what the future is and all this other stuff, if you're going to say you're a comedian, you need to tell jokes and be funny. And all these comedians still riding on their previous, you know, loans and stuff on it. I think just like a driver's license,

comedians need to get their license renewed. Say you funny. You know, drop of something to say you're still a comic. You can still. You say, I used to be on deaf jam, and PG comic, you know, come on. Come on, it's time for you to renew your license to say you funny.

you're going to fly under the banner of being a comedian, say what you ain't, or say what you are, but you can't be us unless you be funny. And I want to say, it was funny Saturday night. Thank you. It was a pleasure being with you in Indianapolis, and I've seen you grown, and keep doing your thing. That's dope. And I just keep doing your thing. Expound on that, though.

What's the biggest difference between being funny and being a professional comedian who understands this is actually a business? Once you get to that plateau of being funny and among. your peers, the consistency of being funny. You have to regenerate and come up with new material and stay at that level. You know what's funny, and you have to work at it. I mean, I have nothing against internet comedians or

nothing, but you cannot escape from hitting that stage. Getting on there, putting that work in, putting new stuff in. And I tell, you know, my wife all a time, she said, why are you at the clubs and hanging that up in place? I said, you know, the shepherd has always, it must

smell like the sheep. People who we get our money from does not live the standard of the living that I live at. So I have to go down here and be down here so I can interpret what's funny from that perspective and talk to the people. Because where I'm at, they would not relate and then they'll say I'm out of touch.

So I have to be around the people and be in the Walmarks and be at Marshals and get an irregular shirt. I have to feel it on here so I can relate to the people that allows you to sit here and have massages three times a week. That is so important. Have you ever had to tell a comedian

as OG like you're not funny anymore you should go do that? No I don't do that because jokes are subjective you know what's funny to me I'm like funny nobody else that's why I tell all the comedians you know no matter who you are somebody going to find out find that you're not funny

you just pray to God all of them don't show up that night you just pray to God they don't come there to see you that night then you get booed now you listen to Justice said So you listen to other comedian sets to see what they're talking about? No, because I don't physically write.

I'm mentally right. So to keep my jokes pure, I don't listen to other comics so it don't be contaminating. I think I came of it because I heard it because I don't physically write. But what I do do is for the people that are my and I want to see their growth,

I take time out and come seeing she's one of those people that I say, let me see it because I've seen her in the beginning. I know how she got in the game. and you know people that's been in the game like I've been as a veteran holds it against them and I said I don't care how you got into it do you work at it heard D.C. Youngfly they work at it and for then man I have nothing but respect for them

they're on the road every weekend Jeff on the road every weekend yeah they work at it but people could be on the road every weekend suck that is true you know some people around here bombing every day you think it's it they're in Gaza they're just there's so many bombs. Do you feel like the art of the long-form stand-up set

is under threat? Or does it make your style of storytelling even more valuable? I think, to be honest with you, quality. I mean, the elongated of getting to the punchline. For me, get to the punchline. I feel certain comedians have a lot of, you know, nuts because they have a long segue

before they get to the punchline. And I always thought, if that don't work, you're in trouble. Because black people are impatient. When you sit in front of Black Orleans, you go that long, and they sit in that chair, and then they rocked it one way, and they rocked the other way, and then they look over to the other person,

and they look over to acknowledge you suck, then the booze come. But if you hit them just continues and have multiple subjects, that mean any time that they come into the show, they can pick up right there. They don't have to see you in the beginning for you to have the call back.

and everything. That's just my philosophy on it. I want you to be like a train that any time you get on it, you can ride. You know, wherever you'll stop. You just walked in late or you was mad as your girl and, okay, I'm at a comedy show, because we need your undivided attention. So whatever you're going

through, I must go through that and get it. So if you argue with your woman all the way through and you're mad at her, I need to have a joke once you come around and realize you in a comedy club, you can enjoy it at that point. Did your mom really date Marvin Gay? Yeah. That's hard.

Did you really say, I wish Marvin Gay was my daddy, not my real daddy? Yeah. Dang. I mean, oh, because I wanted to come up. She couldn't trap them. I heard he was on drugs. She's slipping. Come on, Mom.

She told you that. How did you find out? Yeah, I mean, she used to always tell who my mom's, my mother was that chick, man. She dated a lot of different dude. And I just didn't understand how my father got her. Because he ain't had none of those qualities. Damn. You understand?

But he funded her. So I get it now. As a man. So you knew your mama was, like, out there? No, she wasn't. Jesus Christ. No, I'm saying the way you said to that. She was a worldly woman.

She wanted to see the world. Some people, some people, we in New York, some people never leave the Bronx. You understand, never need New York. He can say it. I love Shahnamee, my man. No, that's what he said. No, it's good. Shonda man.

That's the kind of guy. You know it's going to come. I got one with me. Like Jabain. He's going to hit that. We call him sniper. You know, he's just going, ah. You know, get it to your face.

You just take it. you know what kind of truth did you tap into with this new special that that you know what I really want to ask what's something you tapped into that you may not have tapped into 10 or 15 years ago I really don't go like that I just interpret and then I put it together and then I line it up which one I think these are ones that I want to do that's the funniest that will carry on so more than anything just the perspective of our Caucasian friends out here you know the Portland part when I just went up the in Seattle to see struggling white people getting caught with, you know, back in the day like New Jack City just laying on the ground with fentany. No, I mean, you could tell they had a good mother and father and they

just laying in it. I'm just stepping over them like, look at God. I mean, it's just Damn. Jesus. No, I'm just, I just thought it happened to us. It was like, white version of New Jack City. I was like, it happened to us. And to actually have a white dude ask me for

some money. I was like, no, you could be anything. Damn. Right. You can be anything. All you need to, I mean, everything is in your image. You know, you've got everything. All you need to do is take a shower and put a suit on and you'll be my supervisor by tomorrow.

Damn. What's up when Trump said the, you want to send the National Guard to Portland? Yeah. Well, you know, he wants to do what he wants to do. You know, he's deboing the country, so everybody better tuck the chain. Because no matter who you are. He ain't playing and ain't nobody. and ain't nobody holding against him

and to the point that he actually just letting you know that I'm used the judicial system to go out of my political opponents and there's nothing wrong with it and it's amazing to me that these people just put their self-impressers to justify what he's doing so

as black people we've been through this before so you know you've got to navigate and just we're the best pure I mean pure per illegals in the world when somebody get locked up a brother like how to get them You know, so I can make sure

I don't do it. Yeah, I don't do it. We the first one, we first one, no, I get it. You know, what's the charge? Now, you got so much material, like, from the beginning. Like you said about Aretha Franklin Fernoof, the beginning, all the way until now, right? Is this comedy special longer than the last one? Yeah, I put 45 in them this time. Hey, good.

And I call it the flu game because you know how it is. People don't know. And I see Charlemagne come to work sometime. We'd be under the weather. But, you know, you can't, you know, I'm not Dave Chappelle or Cad or one of them. They can go to Netflix and say, man, I'm not feeling good. Let's shoot this tomorrow. I have to go there.

So I had a respiratory effect when I had the sinus during the whole time. And I pushed on, oh, man. So you just, you've been there before. You know how it is. You see comedians. They be on the stage. They had their hot chocolate or their hot tea and everything on there. And we get into us.

So I'm the most proud of it that it came at that particular. LePont and I still, I came off, that's why I call it my Michael Jordan flu game, still put up 40. You know what else is too. I like what you said about you know how comedians got to renew their license, right? But are some people just grandfathered in? And what I mean about that? Like somebody

like Eddie Murphy, right? Like Eddie ain't put out a special in for album? Well, he grandfathered in, but he also gave up the banner of being saying he a stand-up comic. Because he did not want to continue, he knew what the standard takes for him to maintain it. And he bowed out with Steve did the same.

thing. You have surfing, they give it up on it. And for them, they will always be on my mouse, Rushmore, of their only. I'm talking about comedians that's right here, and they're number one, claim to fame as being a stand-up comedian. They're not doing, telling no jokes. You understand? Eddie Murphy doing movies, TV, animation, then sit there. He then gave that up, and he appreciated the genre where it was at to give it enough that it deserved the utmost respect, and I can't give it to it, going to, club what his process is to be up to that level to get up there he gave that up i don't have what it takes to be at that level to get a respect for me to stand on that stage to amongst all the

rest of comedians so for that you applaud but you don't what you do have to do is stop giving all these other comedians all these fanfare and giving them all this answer and they ain't telling no goddamn jokes tell them be what they are with the title you are what you are not what you say you are so that's why i'm naming i earthquake is in a joke telling business. That's what I do. So we have nothing else to talk about unless it got something to do with jokes.

What if you're telling jokes on your podcast or on TikTok or on Instagram clips? Well, you is, but if you say you're a stand-up comic, you have to sit here and do what... I don't have no problem with anybody diversifying from it, but you must stay with the job description of it.

You know what I mean? If it bans you out, to do books and TV and all that. Great. That's the show how diversify we are in the talent that we are. But you must stay. You know, if you're a singer, you must sing. You know what I mean?

If you're a boxer, you've got to fight. That's all. That's all I'm saying. You've got too many comedians, and my humble opinion, that's not being funny. And sometimes people, such as yourself, got to ask them, where's the jokes? Yeah. Is it hard?

I'm going to do that. No. I agree with you. I agree. Where's the joke? All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade,

the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you,

we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer,

and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all. said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

Listen to intentionally disturbing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're the jokes.

Where the jokes? Where the jokes? Just where the jokes? That's all I ask. Tell the jokes. And you got to, somebody have to stand up and say even nothing, you know, for my profession and my genre, not to stand up for, because I love it. It has been, like the baseball is very, very good for me. I have always given back on my own comedy club, have my own number one show and series that's called Quakehouse that I bring comedians that nobody hear about that we sit around and talk about to give them. I give back to the genre on the porn of it because I love it so much and I think it. but we have too many people now that just not sticking with the job description

and somebody got to tell him at some point, man, be fucking funny. I was going to ask, is it hard once you start diversifying and everything else gets big and then you can't get on stage and do what you used to do like Kevin Hart is still on stage

but people come for him because he doesn't joke or talk about certain things but he's still funny. He's still a comedian but people try to take that away from him because he's not, they feel like he's not as raw about certain things. Well, you got to understand. his constituents that

first of all comedians make fun of the experiences that they go through Kevin Hahn is the 1% of 1% so his experiences does not go along with the other 99% so what he has to do

is high fire writers that is experienced that and they give it to him and he looks it over I have no problem with that evil sit there and be funny on it he's being funny he's still giving back

to the John Duff stand up so I have no problem with that You know, you can't expect him to talk about his life. Oh, man, I went there and the jet was late. And do you know, they didn't have what I asked. I said, I wanted flat water. My fucking just came here. They got $10.

I'm on a private jet flat water. Relatability is the number one essential of being a comedian. And very people can relate to his life because he has such a privileged life. So what's funny to him is not going to be funny to 99% of the people because they don't experience what he's going through. Damn. Have you he did have that He talked about being on the private jet

On his last special When he had to go to the George Floyd funeral That was funny Okay I mean you can But the relatability Is the key to it Because you have to sit here And allow them

That's why I said previously A shepherd must always smell like the sheep You have to put yourself in that situation Or somebody tell you what the sheep is going through And let you know So you can be relatable to the audience that you're asking that money to come see you.

Because the comedy is relatable. They need to see that experience or have the imagination to see you in that scene of that situation. You've been around for a long time of Earthquick. You've always been like, you know, comedians, favorite comedians, right?

Right. But Dave Chappelle pushed for your, I don't want to call it a resurgence, but he pushed you in like a different spotlight with the Netflix situation. But now you've got your own lane. So how do you balance gratitude for that co-sign but also making people see Earthquick

as his own brand and not just somebody Dave picked I don't get caught up in that you know I just do me and I collaborate with anybody I don't

I don't have to be the clothes on the show I don't have to be in standing by you if it's perceived that you're hotter than me don't kill my shine I don't get caught up

into those speculative to things you know it's just another thing I collaborate with anybody and want to collaborate me like I you know I watch our show. That lady said it's true.

When you get to this point in my life, the two most valuable possessions you have is your time and your energy. If the time is good and your energy is good, then, you know, and the money right, quake there every night. We're in there, you know what I mean? So I don't get caught up there.

I will be always indebted to Dave, but I was always indebted to him to come to my club when he was, when he was in Dave. You know what I'm saying? So it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, It's petty. I'm from D.C.

We don't f*** with petty this shit. You can't send me news clippings and expect me to support it. I don't do news clipping, man. You have to get on that stage and do what you do. And no matter who gets on there, Quaker's going to do what he do

and let the chip stand and with the stage. That's first, last, middle, and the whole time. And whatever I do, have nothing to do what you got to do. What's one comedian added person? What he said is so powerful, man.

You had a club back in the day. Yes. You used to put Dave on. stage. Yes. All of them. Kevin Hart, Chris Sucker, Chris Rock, every comedian that's walking here that's hot right now. At one time, I hired them for my club. And they all speak highly in you and not a damn position. They're like, oh, go get quick. Yeah. And they do that. Yeah, they put it on. They do it too.

But you got to understand, like, I'm just, but thank God, I have my own sitcom that's coming. With Bill Burr. Yeah, with Bill Burr, we're producing and everything. And we, you know, and it's a blessing. And it's a blessing. on here. And there's so many people I want to put down. That's good people. But it's only but so many slots. And then I can't jeopardize my slot for the overall trying to help

everybody. Whether it could help up the whole production. So I have to sit back and say, I want to help everybody but I still have a team to come in and say that person is better and that person is better because something of nothing leaves nothing so I got to get something. And then when I get something, then I can bring you in

when it's something. But trying to bring you in before it's something, We both going to end up being nothing outside of Fox studio on the streets. So how did that come about? I remember you had a deal with Paramount, right? Yeah, I had CBS deal, had a Warner Bros deal, had an ABC deal. This one came together. The network president, his name is Michael Thorne, came to me with my manager and said they're making a change.

In Fox, they want to go back to their original when married with children and live in color was that. And they want to go to multi-camera to TV. I mean, to sitcoms. And they wanted me to be on their air, and they wanted me to be me. They didn't want me to water down for me, water me down. They said they feel, which I feel,

you were able to say what everybody's thinking in the right way they're not offended. And I want you on my air. And so now we're in the process of trying to find my Larry David. Like, if you know, he's the executive, DeBosso, was on Seinfeld, my writer, my showrunner. You had your own.

You know, that's the most important thing. And most important, and I've been interviewing for the last too much trying to find the right person that encapsulate that I feel that can and I think we're close right now and the bird thing is a great thing because he had

a first look, Bill Whitford did, and he wanted to produce my show since it was, and I said it's a great combination between the two because I love his comedy and we're going to branch both of my comedy my mindsets and his mindsets, and his mindset and put it in the fictitious

world that I navigate through. What's the premise of the show? Congratulations. What's the premise of the show? Premise of the show. I got frustrated with being in Los Angeles because I never thought they was going to give me a shot. And me and my fiancé moves back to my hometown in Washington, D.C.

to re-buy my old comedy club up and I own my own comedy club in Washington, D.C. You know what I mean? It's based on a true story. It's true story. Yeah. Over then I made it. You know, I just got frustrated with sitting there, and the fires was the reason why that was a sign from God.

My house got burned down, but it might as well just gone. This is it. Take this money and this locked money I got for my house, and I could live balling in D.C. compared to L.A., and it's time to go home, and my fiancé, and we moved back, and I bought my own comedy club where I started at, and it's called Steel Quake. I'm still crazy.

That sounds like a winner-winner. Yeah, and then, you know, I bring out the comedians on a, you know, come through, and people that can play themselves in my fictitious world without, you know, he's singing this, he's actually in town, stopping by Davis at the day, at the big venue performing,

and he stopped by the comedy club, what we do, and come by and I have all my friends on. And it also give, again, young comedians chance to be on TV and then normal selves, being themselves in the club, so they can show the world that they too have talents, such as I do. Man, I hope you have much,

success quick. I hope you have a Miss Pat style run. You know what I'm saying? You think about how Ms. Pat was trying to get that show on forever and she finally got it on. It's loosely based on her life and she's on what? Season 5 now? Yeah. Look at God. Yeah. It's a

beautiful thing and you sit back and you're like, all right, this is it. Now that I have promoted everything for my special it's time to just knock down and just concentrate on getting ready to be on TV. So listen, what's the one piece of business advice, you think young comics miss?

I can tell you what I can miss. Loyalty doesn't mean that they believe in you, and loyalty, as you get closer to your goals, get compromised. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? So if I was them, I will take a lesson from Jamie Fox,

and Jamie says the first of the year, every year, He sits down with his sister or his family and re-evaluates everybody in their life, business-wise. And I would give that suggestions because if anything hindered a lot of my career was being loyal to people that wasn't meant to be in my life in the first place. But you feel, you just feel a sense of obligation that is there and you know they need this in everything. You know what I'm saying? She's dancing in the back, but she's ready to dance. Five, four, three. I think you need to re-evaluate now.

Don't know. Too many chairs. You got to pull one away. You know what I mean? You see what I'm saying? My wife would be like, yeah, we know what chair we need. You know what I'm saying? Too many chairs at the table.

That's how it is. Listen, joke-telling business out right now. That's right. Netflix, definitely go check it out. And we appreciate you for joining us. And congratulations on the sitcom coming. And you promise that you have. come read for the show. You already know. You understand. You already know. Come on in

there. I surely will. Because I will make sure that you get a call. I look forward to it. Thank you. And as always, man, you're my brother. I appreciate you. Lauren. Without I tell you, you're beautiful in the course of my life skin, brother. That's right. Y'all be cool. And thank you for helping me. Also, this is my

son's. I have to wear my son's outfit right here. It's clothing lines. Talk to University and I'm wearing his and make sure I give him a shout out. University. Toxic University. Lord Jesus. She's doing well in his own clothing line. I tell people

you have to invest into your kids' activities or you either choose to fund their activities or they bail money. Pick what you want to do. Toxic University. You know what I mean? Evil oil. I believe in them. So

toxic university on the whole time. Love you, I love you more. It's Earthquake. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fan She gets them from somebody that knows somebody She gets the details I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything

She'd be having the latest on this The latest with Lauren La Rosa Sometimes you have facts Sometimes you have details Sometimes she have a little bit everything Well it's the latest On the breakfast club Talk to me

Well Cardi B and Nikki Minaj are going at it Again So crazy, crazy Nah but this time though like, I mean, you know, we talk about all the back and forth up here, and we talk about put it in the music and all of that, but I feel like yesterday, watching the two of them go back and it was too far.

They brought the kids into it. Wrong. Wrong on both ends. Yeah, I felt like it was too far. Now, just a little background. So when that, we played that audio yesterday of Cardi B going off about the Ice Spice lyric. Cardi B and one of Ice Spice's team members, his name is James. She mentions James in the audio.

They were online, going back and forth. Conversation is about who leaked the audio. So at some point But it had to be somebody in the room with Cardi Because it sounds as if the other person is on the phone The person is in the room with Cardi That's been the back and forth Now James himself came out and said he didn't leak anything

And he kind of says the same thing that you say Cardi B says that's not true It had to come from their side Because there's certain things not added in the audio Like she mentions something with sexy red And the I Heart Music Awards And you know Iceways being upset about that But long story short

Nikki Minaj commented on that She didn't act Cardi or anything but she commented on that and she basically was saying that Cardi leaked the audio right so then now the two of them start going back and forth and it gets to a point where Cardi says

listen well first Nikki also addresses Cardi saying the fertility issues thing she says that she's never had fertility issues and it's not something that should be used lightly because there are women who deal with that and you know prayers to those women but Cardi mentions listen

it's your son's birthday because yesterday was Papa Bear's birthday Oh, wow. And you're on Twitter dedicating essays to me for the love of God go to Chucky Cheese. So then they start arguing

back and forth about the night that they actually ran into each other in New York, speeding through that. Then Cardi B. mentions, because it's been a conversation

about whether she mentioned Nikki on this album. Nikki posted referencing a line that I'm assuming she thought was about her. Cardi cleared it up. She said, how are you pressed over an album

and you haven't got a hit on or a mention in? Your feelings are hurt because I haven't paid you no attention. You haven't even cut your kids cake yet. It's 6 o'clock in L.A. You must have took your first line of the day. So then Nikki tweets

Barney B. and Culture is Cardi B. and Offsett's daughter. And then of course Cardi responds and she says, listen, that's the last time you're going to be mentioning my kids. You know, we're not about to do that, basically. Nikki Minaj, then Coles

culture ugly. And then it gets really like crazy. after, you know, I mean, it was already crazy, but it gets really crazy after that. You know, Cardi responds and says, You wish you could call my daughter, Ugly Culture is Beautiful, and you know that. Your hate is so deep and dark and nasty because your son is nonverbal because you effed him up with drugs,

so you're jealous of everybody's kids and their happiness. Now, these are all things that Cardi are alleging, and she's like, where are you at, stop talking? So they go back and forth a bit mentioning the kids and, you know, just a ton of different things that I really don't even want to, like, I think is, like, Nikki, how can you mention the first, issue, right, like, which is something very serious for a lot of women, you know,

who are unable to have children. And then you turn around and you call somebody's kid ugly. Cardi, you cannot talk about nobody. Kids, you're pregnant. Like, it's, it's a lot. I think it's irresponsible on both women's part. Nikki just seemed miserable.

Like, I'm sorry. Like, it just seems miserable anytime you, that's your gut punch right there. Like, and you're still, and mind you, we still have to wait until March. to hear your your rap music

they hear your music they hear whatever the clap back is musically we still got to watch while we watching this unfold right right yeah

yeah they both went to hell on each other and this is why Cardi should have never responded to Nikki and a lot of this

is social media because y'all love to say lyrics be about people that they don't be about Cardi just confirmed

she wasn't shooting that Nikki on none of them lyrics yeah she did confirm that I mean and I will say too though

even with social media and what people like to say I feel like if if Nikki is posting that She obviously felt like that, too. And I don't know if that sounds from social media,

but I think that this is a lesson in, like, if it's not directly said to you, maybe you just leave it. Or if Nikki wanted to jump back in there, Nikki got a pen. She'd do that. Go ahead. But at least take the day off for your son's birthday, though. I didn't know that yesterday was her son's birthday. Because her and Cardi's beef overshadowed that.

I don't like this. See, I don't like the when you throw the kids in it, right? Yeah, that's crazy. You know, you can't say somebody's going. going too far when you talk about somebody's kids because, you know, some people say, well, you know, play the higher road. No, I'm going to hell with you. You talk about my kids? Yeah. I'm talking

about yours. And it is what it is, but it should have never got that far. They should have never talked about each other's kids. I just don't like that. And I will say, I respect Nikki as an artist, but when I read her tweets and she starts trying to label people good and evil, it really

makes me think of Isaiah 520. Isaiah 520 says, whoa to those who call evil good and good evil who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Because if she believes that she comes off as a peaceful, loving, God-fearing human, she's bugging. Like, you can literally feel the darkness from her tweets.

And honestly, that's why you shouldn't even engage with her because when you match that kind of energy, you come off looking dark too. You're right. And, you know, the one thing I would always say, when you're in your light and the light is shining on you, people will try to take that light away, right? Cardi B just released an amazing body of work. It's selling greatly.

amazing rollout. She's having a child coming up. She's doing a tour. Sometimes, like you said, and I hate it because I'm the pettiest person. I'm a petty, petty, but sometimes you just got to enjoy the light. Yeah. And Jess said something that's real, too.

Nikki has all those accolades, all that success, and still manages to come off as miserable. Like, how do you beef with everybody? Little Kim, Remy Ma, Cardi, Megan Nostalian, Lotto, Mariah Carey. Like, that's not a pink print. That's a stink print.

Okay, Nikki Energy just comes off is nasty and stink. That's what y'all should be called. It's a stink print. That's disgusting. Yo, you've been pretty good with these things. I ain't going to give it to him. The dead dance, the dead dash, the stink print. You might need to drop an album

499, too. You might need a little 499 album somewhere too. Oh, hold. Don't y'all ever disrespect me, okay? I'm in the radio Hall of Fame for a reason. You to read Queen, baby. This is the first time he has definitely taking a compliment. I love it because he usually be like, no, yo, just stop, don't.

I don't know what you're talking about. I just, I thought about that five seconds to go. It just comes to my mind. My mental health is well, so my business are too. All that is true. All that is true. And that may be sticking too, boy. Well, I mean, yeah, it got to the point where Cardi and Nikki are online talking about

where you at, where the addresses are and all the things, and Cardi's pregnant. So hopefully, you know, people that love them intervene in this quiet sound of the day. I will say, too, JT got in the mix yesterday. won't get to that. Maybe we'll bring it back in the next hour. But you told J.T. to get in the booth and drop some lyrics. She says

Friday. There's a record coming out. Yep. Oh. Okay. I'm here for that. I'm here for that. I'm always here for the music. Somebody else's got something dropping on Friday, too. Clarissa Shields has music dropped on Friday, too. Okay. A disc record? It's not a disc record. It's just a song. M.B. I'm just asking. Y'all went from J.T.

This record. No. Jesse is excited about new music. Remy, just have you pin ready, just in case. Now, remember what happened? last time you jumped in the last time Charleney the next time mind your business well speaking of all the back and forths too I know a T.Y. Savage her girl was up here

and there's been some back and forth subliminally with her and Tyler we're going to get in set. You should save that one Lauren Yeah, top of the next hour. I just wanted to you know get up and get that right. Yeah. All right well thank you for the latest with Lauren Sholoman who you giving that don't too. We need Pete Hex's and, you know, President Donald Trump

to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them this morning. Jesus Christ. He's in the Donkey Hall of Fame. He has a lot of intro. Jesus. All right. We'll get to that next to the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He's fired. He's fired.

So please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are a doubt. When Mexico sends his people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. He's a jackass. Yes, donkey here today for Wednesday, October 1st, goes to the United States Secretary of War.

Pete Hex-F and his boss, President Donald J. Trump. First of all, I want to acknowledge today is the, first of the month. Okay, renting bills are due, so I want to send positive energy, love and light to all the individuals who are struggling to pay their bills, okay? Especially our federal workers who don't know what their financial

future is going to look like because the government shut down at midnight. All the non-essential government workers, the federal workers, the essential workers who have been furloughed are required to work with pay, until without pay, okay, required to work without pay until funding

is restored. Keep your head up. Okay. We are in some interesting times in this country, and I believe it is our job in media to let you know that none of this is normal. And yesterday at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, an unprecedented meeting happened, okay? 800 of America's top military leaders, generals, admirals from all over the world were asked to come to this meeting and initially didn't even get told why. Okay, Pete Hex-F promoted the new name, the Department of War, even though it hasn't been changed by Congress. But who needs Congress anymore when we are running plays out of an authoritarian playbook? Okay, Pete verbally attacked what he called toxic leaders, who he said have turned the Defense Department to the woke department. He put out a bunch of new directives telling folks to get physically fit.

They needed to groom themselves a certain way. Okay, he went after fat troops. He said it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. Now, that one I agree with, okay, you should have to look the part. All right. If America has the strongest military in the world, then our leaders have to look strong, too. It's the same reason I wouldn't want a fat personal trainer in the gym or a person with no shape up giving me a head cut. But let's stay focused. Okay. President Trump spoke to, and he said we have to reawaken the warrior spirit. And he said he is committing $1 trillion to the military in 2006. By the way, Pete Hex-FR, President Trump, neither one of them addressed the government shutdown, okay?

and how active duty troops are going to be required to report for duty, but their money is going to be delayed until the shutdown is over. Can you imagine? I'm in the military, and you're telling me how much you need me. You want me to pledge my loyalty to you, but you are the reason I'm not getting my check? Can we listen to some of President Trump and Pete Hex-F's monologue from yesterday? I call it the N-word. There are two N-words, and you can't use either of them.

And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank. There goes your future. I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape, or in combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men. It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. Being a racist has been illegal in our formation since 1948. The same goes for sexual harassment. Both are wrong and illegal.

But telling someone to shave or get a haircut or to get in shape or to fix their uniform or to show up on time or to work hard, that's exactly the kind of discrimination we want. Portland Oregon, where it looks like a war zone. Unless they're playing false tapes, this looks like World War II. San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. We're going to straighten them out one by one. That's a war, too. It's a war from within. I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.

Now they're not allowed to use the military. Oh, that's what the oath says foreign and domestic. Well, we also have domestic. To our enemies, F-A-F-O. more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. We are done with that. I need y'all to know, none of this is normal for America. Okay, it's normal in light of world history, but not America. See, what you saw yesterday was an attempt, probably the first to many, to get the military

to pledge allegiance to the Trump administration. Not pledge allegiance. to the country. Okay. No, undying loyalty to the Trump administration. It was a play straight out of any authoritarian playbook. Look, man, I graduated from night school in Berkeley high school. All right, two years behind schedule. Supposed to come out of 96, came out of 98. But I read a little bit, okay? Anything you have ever read about authoritarian will show you that they understand controlling the military equals controlling the state. You saw it in Germany with Hitler. You saw it in the Soviet Union with Stalin. You saw it with Saddam Hussein and Iraq. And it's a pattern.

It starts with oaths to loyalty, all right? Then you embed your own ideology into the army. You create your own military security force. Next thing you know, you're systemically eliminating your rivals, and you take complete control. Okay, you will use the army to take power. When you have the military on your side, who's going to check you, boo? All right? Don't get it effed up.

When strong men want the army's loyalty, it's never to protect the people. It's always to protect their power. History got a long list of receipts on that. Google it, chat, GPT, pick up a book, whatever you got to do. Okay, the ballot put Trump in power, but it's the bullets. And by bullets, I mean the might of the military that can keep him there. And what you saw yesterday was his first attempt at flipping the military on the enemy within. Have we figured out who that enemy is yet?

Is it in Portland? Okay. Is it just Democrats? Or is it anyone who hasn't pledged allegiance to MAGA? I need America. to understand this isn't normal. The president of the United States of America and the Secretary of War

held a meeting with the military leaders yesterday to get them to pledge loyalty to them so they can project authority on the citizens of this country. With the military, they can suppress protests, they can run people out of office, and most importantly, they can stay in power, meaning staying in office if they choose to. Also, let's be clear,

the military is the biggest threat to their power. All right, Democrats in office on a threat. They got zero power. We know they cowards, but the military is the biggest threat because they could overthrow an authoritarian. So if President Trump keeps the general's close, promises them money, promotions, he can prevent a coup, okay? Authoritarian survival often depends on buying or coercing military loyalty.

I'm just here to alert you, okay, to inform you a little bit. I know we get caught up into Nikki Minaj and Cardi B, Twitter Wars, What's going to happen to Diddy on Friday? But I need you all to know what happened yesterday wasn't normal. The military ain't supposed to pledge allegiance to a man or a political party, only to the Constitution. When a leader wants the generals on his side instead of the countryside, that's not patriotism. That's dictatorship in training. Please let Chelsea Handler give the Secretary of War Pete Hex-F and the Trump administration, the biggest he-ha.

Hi-ha! He-ha! That is way too much, Dan Meney's. It's so crazy to hear Donald Trump talk about military. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved. Until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward. with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people,

and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.

They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County. A show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

four times was for education right and he said he wasn't he couldn't go into the draft because of education and the fifth time is because he had a medical reason he said he had bone spurs in his heel but you want to tell the military what to do but you ain't want to serve you dipped out about five times

I ain't even know well he's practicing what he's preaching you know what I'm saying he don't want people in the military that's not physically fit. All right. Pete Hacks says that it's unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. He just did that a long time ago.

Come on, guys. He'd be leaving all type of things. They'll be following the scent, following the tan spray. They'll catch him immediately. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. I just want to remind you guys.

We are on Twitch. You could watch us on Twitch with streaming live. Breakfast Club AM is the Twitch. And we do go through the comments, read your comments. So if you have suggestions or comments, we like to read them sometimes. But going down, y'all.

Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-105-1. Yesterday we had Chris Gotti on the show. Chris Gotti is Irv Gotti's brother who passed away. He's also the co-owner and co-founder of Murder, Inc. And he was talking about his relationship with Ashanti and how he felt that Ashanti did not come to the funeral and did not call him.

And this is what he had to say. Have you and Ashanti been able to talk since everything? because I saw that you were upset with her when she sat down with Angie Martinez and she said that. Yeah, I was upset because we haven't spoke in person after Earth's passing. And I promise you, I'm the reason she was murdering. For her not to call me after Earth's passing, she texts me, that don't feel right. I didn't want to ask you about the funeral, because Hull came to the funeral. Yes.

Didn't I thought Ashadu came to the funeral? She did not. She sent some flowers. I know you said that you want to talk in person, but like, did that provide any sort of comfort for you guys in that moment, just having things show up? there from her so when you say that with the the flowers it's a good gesture i won't go further than i don't want to be disrespectful to her because she probably thinks it's good but she should know better that she had to talk to me physically actually she should come see me physically all right so let's open up the phone lines 800 585 101 i guess the question is uh can you tell somebody i guess

how to grieve yeah man well how to pay their respects i don't you know i guess i yeah how to pay respects Yeah. Yeah. I mean, when we come back. Yeah, we'll do when we come back. And we'll take your calls, 800-585-105-1. I will say this. They had a history.

And before he passed away, he was talking a lot of information about Ashanti that wasn't flattering to Ashanti. So I think people would understand why she didn't want to show up. And we'll discuss when we come back. And we'll take your calls, 8005-85-105-1. And again, we're streaming, Breakfast Club, AM, and we are live. Yes, I see the stream saying, oh, they really live? I don't see Charlemagne.

And Charlamagne is broadcasting from some place else. But, yeah, we are live. It's the breakfast love. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the breakfast club topic.

Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. That he called my folks. Tell me, it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-105-1 to join in to the discussion with the breakfast club. All right morning everybody

It's DJ Envy just hilarious Shalameen the guy We are the Breakfast Club Now if you're just joining us We're talking about Chris Gotti Chris Gotti of course Is Irv Gotti's brother Who passed away a couple of months ago

And you don't know who Irv Gotti is Of course he was a co-founder With his brother of Murder Inc And Murder Inc had people like Jarl and Ashanti and Lloyd Just to name a few He's produced for everybody From J-Lo to Hove

All right So you know During the conversation yesterday, he spoke about his feelings towards Ashanti and Ashanti not seeing him personally or coming to the funeral. Let's listen. Have you and Ashanti been able to talk since everything? Because I saw that you were upset with her when she sat down with Angie Martinez and she said that. I was upset because we haven't spoke in person after Ers Passing. And I'm promised you, I'm the reason she was murdering. For her not to call me after Ers Passing, she texts me, that don't feel right.

I didn't want to ask you about the funeral, because Hold came to the funeral. Yes. I thought Ashanti came to the funeral. She did not. She sent some flowers. I know you said that you want to talk in person, but like, did that provide any sort of comfort for you guys in that moment? Just having things show up there from her. So when you say that with the flowers, it's a good gesture. I won't go further than that.

I don't want to be disrespectful to her because she probably thinks it's good, but she should know better that she had to talk to me physically. Actually, she should come see me physically. So we're asking 800-585-1-1-0. 05.1. We're asking, what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts? Let's all with you, Jess. I feel like, you know, she's in a different time in her life. And then, you know, although they are responsible, you know, for a lot of her success or, you know, whatever Chris was saying, that two things can still be true. You can be true at the same time. Yeah, y'all, y'all helped her get where she is or whatever with her success and everything.

What I'm saying? Like, she had to go through a lot with that, too, like how he treated her and all that. And then he publicly embarrassed her for years, you know, leading up to, you know, him passing away and everything like that. And she's in a different place in her life. She has a baby now with her husband. And she's, you know, she's just, I don't think it was just a little audacious to say, no, you, you should have came and saw me. I do understand. I understand. But like, that was audacious. You get what I'm saying? See, and this is the crazy thing and I hate to say this, but I understand both sides, right? I do understand Chris feels like, Like, look, I found you.

You know, I got you signed. I was there towards everything. And even though you might not F with my brother, maybe it was a good thing just to check on me because we still were good. Maybe that's how he feels. But on the other end, I also kind of feel like, yeah, but your brother isht on me for years and it's personal about it. And now I have a baby.

Now I moved on. And see, I'm a petty person. Like, once you issue on me, it's kind of like F everything that got to do with you because you know what your brother was doing to me and nobody stopped. it. Nobody jumped in to stop it. And maybe that's the way she feels. So I kind of see both sides of it. And the way he was up here talking about them, like they were a married couple

like they were like this, you know, like this happily ever after couple in music back in a day when, you know, it isn't it's two sides, three sides to every story but it's like, yeah, I'm completely with you on that. Shalabang. Listen, this is why I love doing what we do because you learn

things and it starts discussions because I honestly never thought about this subject until Chris Gotti bought it up yesterday. I don't know if there is proper etiquette to paying your respects to somebody when they pass away, or paying your respects to the family.

And I don't know if you can tell someone how to pay their respects, but I do understand why Chris would want respect paid. Like he looked at Ashanti as a little sister. So he's saying he would have appreciated, you know, a personal call, a visit, and his feelings are hurt that he didn't get that. But I don't know if you can tell Ashanti

how to pay her respects. but it's okay for Chris to say you hurt my feelings. Correct. Maybe Christiana came up here and said, I would have liked if you would have personally called me. I would have liked if you would have came to visit instead of saying, you know, she owed that. Yeah, but also, also, you know, salute to you, Shalerman,

you go to therapy, you're more of a healed person. For me, if you ish on me, right, and you continually ish on me, and then you do pass away, am I supposed to just let that go when you go? Well, am I supposed to just say, you know, but you said it already. You said it earlier.

Chris isn't Erf. But she might feel like you didn't stop your brother or nor did you defend me when he was going at me. You know what I'm saying? You heard Chris say, I couldn't tell her of nothing. You're right. But your loyalty is with your brother, though. Exactly. Like, y'all, y'all didn't look out for me.

And no, I'm not blaming you off of what he did. But it's like, yo, y'all are over there. Like, that's, y'all are the goties. Like, this is, you know what I'm saying? And you know, and you know, and you know when somebody goes, against you it's almost like pick a side yeah and of course he's gonna pick his brother's side so that's why I said there's always two sides of the story I get where Chris is coming from like you little sis you could have did this but she might be like

nobody defending me but fat Joe and she could have also not sent anything she sent flowers in the text she could also not sent nothing at all but but I also but I also think that the fact that she did send something opens it up for Chris to be like damn yeah well you can't if you're gonna do this you couldn't call me it probably would have been better off and she didn't send anything I wouldn't say that too I wouldn't say that too

I'm going to pay my respects here you know at the end of the day but once you pay but I'm saying if you pay respects a little bit then now he's ex well damn yeah you did that but I really want this

but I think the conversation would have been a little bit more intense if she didn't send anything like it would have been crazy he probably would have got a little crazy up here but it goes back to the question we're asking

I don't know if there is proper etiquette to paying your respects we have Stacy on the line Stacy good morning Hello, how you're doing? Where you been, Stacey? Well, listen, my employee lines don't work no more. I've been calling and falling, but I get through a lot.

I heard you tried to take Trap out, man. I heard you want to be the only gay on breakfast club, so you tried to stab. It's so funny because, you stabbed Trap. You stabbed him? Listen, listen, I don't do all the fighting. I'm a businessman. But, okay, wait a minute. Awesome real.

Okay. So wait a minute. Okay, so I just recently lost my dad, right? Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry to hear that, brother. Right? So now, mind you, my mom and dad, they were like married, they were tight to sweetheart. One of our brothers did not come.

And I was pissed about it. Like, we actually don't speak to this day. So, um, my sister was like, you can't tell people how to agree. Correct. But my father wasn't a Debbie dad. Like, my father was over there. is there. How dare you not come to the funeral? You understand? And then what made it even more

aggravated, me and my sister, we was like the only two that actually stayed for everything. And everybody kept asking like, yo, where is Maurice? And I'm like, uh, like, listen, please don't let me about that goddamn man. Like, I was so aggravated because listen, our father was there. Our mother and father was married and stuff for over 36 years. Yeah. You understand? So, yes, it's very, it's very, I get it. You can't tell somebody how to agree, but how can you not come to your father's funeral?

I'm going to tell you this, though, Stacey, right? I don't really go to funerals. Me neither. I don't do funerals at all. When people pass away, I don't go. And it's been like, people have asked me to speak at funerals. I don't do it. People in the industry of passing, they ask me to come and speak.

I don't do funerals and the reason my personally is because the last time I see you I don't want to see you in the cast That's just me Brother I want to remember you as the flight That you're saying

If people feel the way I'm sorry but this is how I agree Same That's just it is what it is I don't do funerals I totally get it now I'm with Stacy If it's your parent man

Like I if that's the next time I gotta see you Your mother your sister or brother You have to go I don't know if I don't I don't care if I'm fighting with the whole family. Yeah. Nobody's stopping me from going to my mother, my father, my sister, or my brother.

Yeah. Period. I'm so sorry. Thank you. I don't know if you can tell somebody how to pay their respects because I'm with UNV. I don't do funeral. My grandmother, my mother's mother, who was like my big mama when she passed away, I didn't go to the funeral and people was like, you know, you need to come.

That's the last time you're going to see her? No. Last time I saw her was when she was in my mama's yard and we was laughing and talking and joking, and that's how I want to remember her. I don't want to see her laying in a casket. Yes, I totally agree. I do not do funerals. Like, it takes a lot out of me to, like, I

just don't. Yeah. I want to remember the last time I see you, it was, you were full of life. We were talking. We were joking. We were laughing. Even if you were sick, I still want to remember that. But to see you in that casket, I'm going to have that memory for life, and I don't want that memory. I totally understand, y'all. Because, you know, the funeral is not for the

deceased. As much as we act like it is. Yeah. That individual's gone That's for like the people to celebrate their life I don't have to celebrate their life in that setting I'm with you I totally understand I just I feel differently

But I get it because it's people I know people very close to me That cannot handle my brother My own biological brother cannot handle funerals Now of course we're live on Twitch On the stream right now So I just want to read some of those comments Of course if you want to go to our Twitch

And me too I don't know if it's how to grieve Or how to pay your respects Yeah, how to pay your respect. I like how to pay your respect, yeah. So somebody says, you know, on the Twitch, Ashanti owes him nothing. Somebody says, I went to my brother's funeral, but I didn't view the body. I just couldn't handle it mentally. Somebody said, I don't do funerals.

I believe you mourned when it happened, and it's dumb to do it again in a black tie. Somebody said, flowers will do. That's what some of the chat is saying. I mean, the chat is flying so fast. I'm not going to my own funeral. Okay. I'm getting cremated. Oh, okay.

You know what is happening? I don't do funerals. I do not do them in no way, shape, or form. So, you know, like I said, you can't tell people how to pay their respects. Even when Stacey was like, oh, you know, you got to go. No, you don't. And I don't mean I don't love that individual. And I just want to tell you one other thing, right?

And this is for anybody if you ever come. When I do pass and whatever, do not let nobody take no pictures of me in that goddamn cast. No, I hate that. I don't want no pictures, no selfie, no, no, he's gone. Don't take no pictures to me. No, even the new train they got where the people die on Instagram, but then they turn around and go flop in the sky. Y'all, like, I ain't with none of that.

Like, why we need that? Butterfly in the sky. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I can go twice as high. You knickers' grandmothers flying all. Like, I'm like, what are we doing? I'm with you. And ain't nobody in hell.

Nobody's flying up. Ain't nobody going to hell. Ain't nobody flying out. Everybody flying out. That's crazy. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Tarkusa. Hey, good morning. Talk to us.

Hello. Hey, how are y'all doing? Good morning, Jen. Good morning, girl. Talk to us. Okay, so I'm sorry with Ashanti. She really don't owe him any more than what she gave him. She gave him a text. I don't know what the text entails. We are meant with him. But when somebody's grieving, you really can't tell them how to grieve or tell them how to show up for you.

Brief is a hard process. Healing is even harder. I lost my adult son in 2023. And he was surprised how many people fall away or fall back just because, oh, I didn't know what to say to you. I didn't know how to come to you. That's real. Yeah. Yeah.

And you really, your grieving can't be conducive on how someone's showing up or how they're not showing up. I'm definitely that person. I'm that person who, like, if, you know, somebody I love loses somebody that's very, very close to them, I don't know what to say to that individual. I really don't. No, you're right. You're right. Like, what do you say when somebody lost somebody like, you know, like this lady right here that lost a child? What do you say that's comforting?

Like, other than I'm sorry, but you've heard a thousand times. So you don't want to say that again. Condolences to you and your family, sending you love it right? I'm here if you need me. You want to talk. Sometimes they want to talk, but they don't know what to say. You know what I mean? But are you barely here to talk because your life moves on, you know what I mean?

Yeah, no. Don't say it unless you, and that's what I'm saying. You don't say it unless you are going to be there when that person calls you to vent. or whatever, just to talk. I'm sorry for your loss, Mama. Thank you so much. I appreciate y'all. I love your dress.

Real quick. But y'all ain't up on me. DJ, if you, move your finger. To move my phone. No, no, I ain't going to do that to you. Man, how many times DJ Clue heard that? Yo, shut up. Move your finger.

I'm going to fight you, yo. See what you started, Mama. Go ahead. What's up, Mama? But, Jess, you came to Virginia Beach for the funny bono in June. Yes, ma. I had tickets to go up. Me and my sister was supposed to come to see you.

The same day, I ended up in ICU. I had massive blood clots in both of my lungs. I missed her show. My sister missed her show, of course. But I had a coloring book that my granddaughter and my daughter and my daughter have created a line of coloring books. Black affirmations for young girls, young boys. Oh, it's beautiful.

And I had one for your daughter. Oh, thank you. I still have that coloring book. And I would love to send it to you. I would love to receive it. I'm not going to hang up on you. I'm going to put you a hole. Thank you.

I'm going to get you the ad. Okay. It's on Amazon. Everybody check it out. Soraya's stories. Soraya's stories. Spell Soraya for the people out there. S-A-Y-A-H.

Okay. Well, hold on, all right. Thank you, baby. There's no age. Oh, no, okay. Soraya stories. All right. And when I get it, I'll talk about it up here as well.

Thank you, baby. Okay, thank you. Line three. Line three. Line three. It's a clue always sit and move your finger. You found that funny? You thought that was funny?

You thought that was funny? I'm sorry. What's the moral of the story? I mean, I think I believe Chris should have said I would have liked if she would have called me or visited me, but once again, we don't know how Ashanti felt. And you can't tell anyone how to pay their respects, man.

You just really can't. And what Ashanti did is what she felt like she needed to do. All right. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fact.

Tell us, man. She gets him to do somebody that knows somebody. She gets to details. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on the list. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest.

On the breakfast club. Talk to me. All righty y'all. So T.Y Savage was here on the breakfast club, and we talked to her a bit about Tyler in the colored conversation, which a lot of that unfolded here when Tyler was here and did not want. want to answer Charlemagne's question on her identity. Now, T.Y answered our question. Let's take a listen to CY Savage because people are really upset,

including Tyler herself, about her answer. Let's take a listen. When the colored conversation was happening with Tyler, from your perspective, how did you feel about the conversation and just how she handled in people's reaction to it? I feel like two truths can be real at the same time. I don't really know what the first thing she said was

that sparked the whole conversation, but I do know that from where she, she's from, they don't call her black. They call her colored. Colored because she's mixed. And I get why that would be such a huge thing here because of, I mean, the history behind that name. I think I felt for her a little bit because I feel like she's young.

I don't think she means to come across like that. Where we're from, where I'm from, when something like this happens, like they say the elder will come and say on behalf of such and such, such, we apologize, you know? I feel like if that wasn't communicated I would like to say on behalf of that her or whatever like

we apologize we didn't mean next forgive us I don't see anything wrong with what she said I think she was standing up for her like she said she's young Tyler is young

and she probably didn't honestly not not saying didn't know how to answer the question but it's different American culture is very different from where they're from she's from Johannesburg what South Africa right

yes but TY is from Nigeria so A lot of people, so people's upset, and we're going to get to Tyler, because Tyler, even though she hasn't said, I'm upset, she was on a global citizen stage, and she took a shot back at the apology. But people's upset is, who are you to apologize? And if that is her experience, and she's not denying being black, she's just speaking from where she's from and how she's labeled, who are you to correct that? And they feel like it's a cozying up to the Americans because, or people here, you know, because people feel like that's why Tyler's album didn't do well, the project. but Tyler was on the Global Citizen

Stage over the weekend and she, before she did a song called Mr. Media, which that song came out after she left the breakfast club, not right after, but following. That's a little box. It's cool. Yeah. The last time I'm going to help you a little color and something. Well, the new thing is

I spoke to a representative for TY Savage. Hold on, Lauren, so that when she said sorry, not sorry, that's not in the original song? No, the song doesn't say sorry, not sorry. And actually the lyrics are about, I mean, she talks about a lot in the lyrics, but some of the lyrics speak to people wanting to know who is she and what is she. And she's saying it's none of your concern.

Yeah, but no, but that's why fans grabbed it because the song itself is about her shooting back at the media and saying, leave me alone. I talk about what I want when I want, but she opens that song saying, sorry, not sorry. So fans are like, oh, that's a direct response because the apology happened and then she went on a global citizen stage. So that was a direct ad lib. It's not in the song if we go download it right now. No, no, no, no. No, it's not in the song. So from that, I reached out to T.Y. Savage's team because I'm wondering, have they spoken?

What's going on? I talked to a representative for T.Y. Savage, who tells me that T.Y.'s intention was never to speak for others, but to approach the question she was asked with empathy. And I think, you know, adding context to it, like you said, Jess, I think she just thought, I'm going to be big, homie, big sis in this situation. And, like, say maybe she didn't understand or you guys don't understand her. She tried to help her home in and wind up backfire But they're not friends like that from what I'm seeing here And from what I was told Her genre of music

She tried to hold down her genre music and it backfire Yeah and I think that's what TY's whole thing is She's trying to hold it down for the girls that come after her You know what I mean? And that's all she meant to do So I just want to let people know You know that she says she wasn't trying to be disrespectful Now in other news

yo this nigger's hilarious why this is a like this is his actual special though I think the the one you're talking about just that was like a Dave Chappelle presents right yeah but yeah okay yeah

but everybody else still did like a lot more time than him that's why I was saying like he's funny like I'm on his show so I'm like damn why he couldn't get a longer one but that's neither hell there this one is funny and it's just under our hour yo hilarious watch it salute the earthquake man

OG and the game game. Yeah, and I'm happy I can't wait to see his sitcom. I hope to see it's the green light. Yep, me too. I'm happy about that. It's called a joke telling business, this stand-up special on Netflix. Absolutely. That is the beauty about comics, though. Comics are supposed to

age like wine and cognac. They're supposed to get funnier as they get older than get more life experiences. When you see, you know, I think about like Bernie Mac or God bless the dead, I think about like Miss Pat, people like Earthquick who get these opportunities when they get older and they

they make the boast out of them I guess the reason Ms. Pat been on for five seasons like she's seasoned and experienced the same thing with Earthquake. And her show is good. It's actually good. That's right. Hey, I want to say happy born day to Aiden man. Aiden is Miko Grimes' son
