Diddy's former protege, television personality, Danity Kang alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there. Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day, covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Made for This Mountain podcast exists

The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain, this is the struggle. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. How far would he go to cover up what he'd done? The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific.

And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've seen a lot of stuff over 30 years, you know, some very despicable crime and things that are kind of tough to wrap your head around. And this ranks right up there in the pantheon of Rhode Island fraudsters. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying. Listen to Deep Cover, The Truth About Sarah

Guess what day it is. Hump Day. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Good morning. How y'all feel out there? I feel blessed, black, and highly favored.

Happy to be here. Another day to serve our beautiful listeners. I know that police in New York City are happy that they didn't have to clean up the streets last night. I know that they're happy that they didn't have to, you know, break up no fights or, you know, disperse any crowds. You know? Oh, wow. I know they're happy about that. It't have to you know break up no fights. You know dispersing crowds You know, I know they happy about that over yet. It's not over. It's not it's not no, okay

No, no, how many more times they have to lose for it to be over one more time. Oh one more Don't get another one. We'll get a win in the garden. They'll get another play tonight. No, they play Thursday, okay No, they play Thursday. Okay, okay. Thursday, Thursday. They play Thursday. They'll get another one. Geez.

Yeah, they lost last night. Wasn't a great game, but it's okay. Damn, was the score, was it too bad off? Was it like a blowout or what was it? Lost by nine, right? Yeah, lost by nine. It really wasn't that close though. Yeah, but it didn't look good for the Knicks last night.

They didn't play well. They should have won game one, but it's okay. We'll shake it up. Timberdough just got a, I think he has to coach a little differently. I mean, shut up. Timberdough just gotta coach a little differently. Players gotta play a little differently. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, because the first game we were up what, 14, with two minutes left, we shouldn't have lost that game. Like that was coaching, right? We can say that that was coaching. Then he decided to take out Josh Hart, who's a shooting guard, he plays a shooting guard position, a point guard position. But he's the heart of the team.

Yeah, and he can't do everything. Exactly. He's the heart of the team. He's the one that gets the rebound. He's the one that does everything. You know what I've been noticing? The players be hitting shots. The Pacers be hitting shots, and the Knicks be missing them.

That's what I noticed about the game. That was last night. You can't do nothing with that. You can't do nothing with that. But it is what it is. So anyway, let's get the show cracking. Humble the Poet will be joining us this morning. Yes, Humble is one of my, you know, I like reading a lot of Humble's books.

He has a new book out called Unanxious. Okay. Yes, Unanxious, 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and to Feel More Calm. Okay, so we're gonna be kicking in with Humble the Poet. Yes, and it is still mental health awareness month, so that's a good guest to have on this morning. Yes, all right. And then we got front page news next. I'm sure she'll be breaking down everything that's going on, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilaria, Charlamagne N'Guy. We are the

Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Like Charlamagne mentioned earlier, the Knicks did lose last night, 121-130. Now, tonight the Minnesota takes on OKC at 8.30 p.m. The Thunder Leads that series 3-1. What's up, Morgan? Hey, y'all. Hey, good morning. Happy Halloween. How you feeling?

Good. Less black and highly favored. How are you? I'm good. I love to hear it. All right. So first off front page, President Trump says Russian President Vladimir Putin is playing with fire. It follows his criticism of the Kremlin on Sunday for attacks made on Ukraine, where the US is attempting to broker a ceasefire.

Now Russian drones and missiles bombarded more than two dozen cities across Ukraine over the weekend. The Kremlin responded to the criticism Monday, citing emotional overload at this very important moment. So again, I will keep you guys posted on those relations. Well, relations are lack thereof between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. It seems like things are escalating just a bit. As I said yesterday, those two egos could be the end of civilization as we know it. And the way they all are just casually governing through social media and casually discussing World War III and nuclear war is baffling to me and people just throw those words around like they're nothing. Like do you

understand countries discussing World War III and nuclear war should be the only thing the media is talking about? Like I saw North Korea say yesterday that the US Golden Dome risk outer space nuclear war and China's mad about it and Russia's mad about it and everybody's just going on about their day like it's nothing. Yeah because what else we're going to do cry in the words of Rihanna anyways. Meanwhile the war between President Trump and Harvard is also escalating now the Trump administration is set to cancel the remaining Harvard federal contracts worth about $100 million. Now the department, the head of the Department of Justice anti-Semitism task force

Leo Terrell says this is nothing new. Let's take a listen to his comments. This is going to be a battle in the courtroom. If it goes all the way to the Supreme Court, Trump is going to do that. We have tolerated anti-Semitism for the last four years. And basically the Trump administration, and thank goodness President Trump is in office Harris, he's not gonna tolerate it. Yeah, so that's Leo Terrell, the head of the Department of Justice anti-Semitism Task Force. Now the move comes as the White House has accused Harvard of not doing enough to end anti-Semitism on campus. It also accuses the University of racial discrimination in its admissions process while hiring.

Imagine that. So I'm just wondering, you know, if you're pro-Palestinian, does that automatically make you anti-semitic? Because we've long time said that if you're pro-black, that doesn't mean that you're anti-white. So I'm just curious to see you guys' thoughts on that. But the truck- It depends who you ask. Yeah. It depends who you ask. anti-white. So I'm just curious to see you guys thoughts on that. But um, depends who you ask. Yeah. Depends who you ask. Like, you know, yes, I do agree with you that just because you're, you know, pro anything doesn't mean you're anti anything or against

anything. But there are some people who are pro something that are completely against, you know, the other side. Right. And a lot of this comes after, you know, there have been protests on the campus, uh, you know there have been protests on the campus You know pro-palestinian protests and things of that nature so that you know It's like if you're pro-palestinian in this administration It means that you're anti-semitic or at least that's what it seems Anyways, the Trump administration is also halting student visas in interviews for now reports say the decision comes as the administration

considers requiring foreign students to undergo social media screening. Imagine that. The outlet said U.S. embassies and consular sections are being ordered to put a hold on scheduling new interviews. A cable signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and dated Tuesday said further guidance is anticipated in the coming days. Details about what the possible social media vetting would screen for were not provided. So let's end actual interviews and let's do it through social media in terms of who should and should not be in this country

in regards to student visas. And Elon Musk says he is disappointed with President Trump's so-called big, beautiful bill. Musk said these comments in a preview of an interview that's set to air this weekend on CBS Sunday morning that he was disappointed to see the massive spending bill because he feels that it undermines the work that the Doge team is doing. Now it passed the House last Thursday and this big beautiful bill extends the tax cuts brought on by President Trump in his first term in 2017, as well as boost border and deportation funding.

So Elon Musk is getting a little bit of a taste there. But that's your front page. I'm glad Elon Musk said that too. You know what I mean? Don't treat Trump the way Democrats treated Biden and act like you don't see what we all see when something is wrong, call it out. Well that was a soundbite. So let's, you know, let's see what else he had to say in that interview. It is set to air again this weekend on CBS Sunday morning.

Elon Musk. Yeah, well, speaking, he's saying what we were all saying, like when we saw, you know, all of the money that was in the big, beautiful bill, that does to us that was wasteful spending. So I'm like, yeah, I'm like, you created those to cut wasteful spending. But that's was a bunch of wasteful spending in this bill But that's how it should be we should be checking people when we don't agree right when we agree we agree But when we disagree, we should be able to say it not have any penalty on it, correct? That's mm-hmm That's absolutely right. That's right. All right, y'all. So that's your front page news for 6 a.m. At 7 a.m. Stick around We will talk about this mall shooting in Connecticut and we arm and transportation transportation. It's a mess

Everybody playing figures and saying stuff about Diddy, I feel like God is dealing with Diddy right now and God is trying to humble Diddy so I made a song about it it's not even really a dish song it's a song to make him aware that God is trying to talk to him right now and he needs to repent that's what he needs he needs to hear that you know I'm saying because sitting in that jail cell ain't enough he need to hear out of sight rap about it you know what I mean sit sitting in that jail cell ain't enough.

Well, we do have the latest with Lauren coming up. What are we talking about? Um. Look at that. KK, come on, Cece. No, no, let her go. No, no, no. Get a listen to what they want.

Go ahead, go ahead. Cece. So yesterday in court, Capricorn Clark took the stand and when I say she was the most compelling witness No, no, no, let her go. No, no, no. Get her listening to what they want. Go ahead. Go ahead. So yesterday in court, Capricorn Clark took the stand and when I say she was the most compelling witness, I've heard this whole trial. Really? Whole trial. Did I tell you that though? Y'all diddy is, if I'm predicting, he's not coming home at all.

That was the nail in the coffin, Capricorn Clark. You did tell me that. I've been telling y'all that. I'm trying to- Well, let to break it down when we come back. This is a tease. We'll get to it when we come back because I want to know everything. And who is CC for people that don't know a former personal assistant, former marketing person for Sean John.

She's like worked with Diddy at an executive level for some time, for some years. OK, all right. We'll get to that next. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Lauren be coming with straight face. Tell us, man! She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything in everybody. She be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa.

Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. But it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Man, yesterday y'all Diddy's team messed up with Capricorn Clark on the stand. So Capricorn Clark, they went through a lot of things and she was able to fill in context a lot of things and we'll get to that. But the biggest mess up for me was the people who Capricorn Clark is a previous personal assistant of Diddy's. She also came

back to work for Diddy as like a head of marketing of some sorts for Sean John. She's had a few different roles because she's worked for him off and on since 2011. But yes, so she's on a scene, they're running through the Kid Cudi story, which she told a different story. They shug night, which she tells a different story. The lie detector test. And then the defense, Diddy's team, is trying to make the point of, okay, all of this stuff happened and you say that your experience allegedly was so gruesome.

And like, you know, you alleged you were kidnapped by gun and all these things. But let's go down the timeline of you wanting to work with Diddy again after all of these things. So you leave in you're terminated around like after 2012. She alleges that she was terminated because she finally took a vacation. They asked her Diddy Seam asked her, well, where were you on vacation? She's like, I was in the South of France with Rihanna. And they're like, okay, they're trying to paint the picture like you had a really good

lifestyle. You just want that back and you didn't get that back allegedly. Now that's why you're here. That's why you're doing all these things. And she's like, you know, I, they bring up an email to show that she was in conversations about being upset that they were upset that she took this vacation. She said she gets show that she was in conversations about being upset that they were upset that she took this vacation. She said she gets back and she was terminated.

Now after this happened, she says that she was unable to find consistent good work at all. She's alleging that Diddy Blackwater, she says that at one point she went and sat down in a meeting with Jimmy Iveen who told her like, look, this is supposed to be a meeting about allegedly supposed to be a meeting about a job opportunity. But I'm here to tell you to leave that Diddy stuff alone. Like, because she had came out and said, hey, this is what happened to me. She had filed civil suit.

She was going to take legal action. And she says that people were coming to her telling her not to do it. She alleged Jimmy Ivey. She also says that Andre Harrell and Diddy pulled up on her at one point at the CAA meeting that she was having. But that conversation set like a foundation of she couldn't get work, she couldn't get work. So Diddy's team now is trying to prove that like Diddy had nothing to do with that. You just weren't able to get work. So they're like, wait, we're gonna show you this recommendation letter that he wrote for you

in just as recent as 2021. They bring up the letter and they're like, Ms. Clark, can you take a look at this letter? Refresh your memory so we can have a conversation about it. She looks and she's like, that's not from 2021. That's from 2012. And the defense attorney like stops. And we all like, I'm just like,

oh, maybe they got the dates wrong, whatever. And then then the defense attorney Mark Agnifilio says again, no take a look at this letter This is a recommendation letter that you know, mr. Combs wrote for you in 2021 again. They're trying to say to her There's no way you were blackballed allegedly if he wrote this letter, right? Exactly, right and she's like no this letter is from 2012 This is from the settlement that happened between us in 2012 now. We all in the court like settlement boom Look at y'all with this Settlement there was that she had she had claimed that she was you know blackball. She couldn't work shit She was so stressed from work that she was losing hair and then all these things right and it amounted to her not having a job

She alleges that her home was taken, she wasn't able to provide for herself. Her son, who was autistic, she wasn't able to provide for her son. So she was like, I need something, I'm trying to get my life back. But the settlement basically was that they came together, her and Diddy allegedly agreed that

they wouldn't go anywhere and disparage each other as long as she was settled out. But a part of that settlement was she asked for the recommendation letter to happen because she wanted to be able to work. So she knew where that letter was coming from. So the defense had it wrong. Oh, not only did she know where it was coming from when she clarified with Diddy's attorney, she said, I wrote, they said, well, look at the bottom of

that letter. Isn't that Mr. Combs' signature? She said, yeah, but I wrote this letter. Jesus. So how much did she get? Did they say? They asked, they were trying to figure out whether she could say it on the center night and we didn't we didn't find out but they they we tried to get to they tried to get to it a

couple times. And then what did the prosecution do after that? The prosecution after that came back in and said, okay, well now that it's been introduced, right, that the settlement happened, the door is open. Let's have a conversation about, you know, that time period in your life. Oh my gosh, she was already breaking down because the defense was pushing and pushing and pushing. And it worked to the prosecution's favor because she literally broke down.

But the prosecutors are like, well, let's get into it. Because they also brought up this meeting that she had in April, 2024. This is after the raids had happened and all that stuff, right? And the defense tried to make it seem like, again, this is you just trying to come back and work for Puff and why would you do that? You know, you're willing to stand beside him after all these things have happened, but you got you had these claims and all the settlement or whatever. Prosecution's like, please explain why you wanted to do that meeting. She's wrong. When I tell y'all, she's

bawling in tears and we're all just like, wow. She's like, look, I felt like basically it was better to be an ally than to be against him. I had come out, I made the claims that I made. We figured out the settlement. I went through so much since 2012 trying to get my life back. So when there was a conversation between my attorneys and the defense attorneys about coming back in April, 2024, because basically they were trying to allegedly fix things.

Like they wanted to figure out how they could restructure Diddy because everything was happening, the raids and all this stuff. So they wanted to use her as like, the defense says she suggested. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,

Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife Caroline.

He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how

many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero.

She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her. Until they didn't. I remember sitting on her couch and asking her, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person

that was getting treatment, that was dying. This is a story all about trust and about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying. Listen to deep cover the truth about Sarah on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The prosecution brought out to her that it was a conversation that was brought to her. She just entertained it. That she would basically be like, I'm the woman who's been here since 2010, 2011, 2011, 2012, known since 2004.

Basically if I'm still here and I'm sitting beside him and I run all these things and I know the original formula, the businesses will still be able to go. But also it's a good look because all of these claims are from this time period where I was around. Why would I stand next to him in such a big way? And she's like, I only entertain that because I wanted my life back. I literally lost everything allegedly. And man, she talked about-

And in response to that referral letter that she wrote and Diddy signed, they wouldn't even have bought in the settlement if it wasn't for that, right? No. That wouldn't have even came up in court. You would have never known that Diddy settled with her back then. The prosecution even, it was mentioned,, they briefly were like mentioning the things and like, kind of like, there was so much that they were getting to because she was able to paint the picture of so many different things.

But us being able to have the conversation about that recommendation letter, finding out that she wrote the letter, finding out that that was a part of the settlement, finding out that it was a part of the settlement because basically she was trying to make where she could work again. All of that came because Diddy's attorney introduced it and he thought he thought that he was proving something recent and it backfired Then she started talking about even being able to Chris Leidy. She brought up Chris Leidy, right? But let me ask you a question What part of the trial is that what he's charged with because it wasn't part of the kidnapping right?

She didn't get to that yet. I didn't know Kidnapped she alleges that she was kidnapped by gunpoint and taking the kid Cuddy's house and that she was She's part of the kidnapping, right? Because she didn't get to that yet. Yes, she did. She alleges that she was kidnapped by gunpoint and taken to Kid Cudi's house, and that she was made to stay in a car while they allegedly chased Kid Cudi through the Hollywood Hills. Kid Cudi didn't tell us that there was a chase. She alleges that she was overworked and underpaid,

causing like physical change to her body and mental stress. She alleges that Diddy used his power to basically strip her of everything. Her home allegedly was being paid for by him, her car, everything was taken from her the minute that she started complaining about things that she saw because she had witnessed the Diddy and Cassie physically get into it. And they tried to paint her as this like love-struck, I had a crush on Did Diddy I was jealous of Cassie and she broke down crying and she said I wasn't jealous of Cassie I was upset that he basically he messed up the program

He let this woman come in mess up everything and my life depends on this my stakes are higher Now did she say something like he didn't stop Cassie's career Cassie stopped the own career cuz she wasn't talented Cassie is not she is not the the biggest Cassie fan at all. Me and you was not on replay. She basically said that she felt like Cassie was given all of these resources and didn't deserve them because she was, I mean she got by and she sung a little bit like you know that was cute but yeah she said that you know she wasn't like a, she ain't no Whitney Houston. She wasn't a star. Yeah like. The whole world know that. That's how you know she's an honest Whitney Houston. Yeah, definitely honest.

And it wasn't hating, she was literally being honest. But that's the best honest because she's dead for herself. Last question, you were messing with Chris Lighty and then Chris Lighty died. And if you don't know who Chris Lighty is, Chris Lighty used to manage or started a company with Mona Scott, violated with the name of the company. They managed Missy, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent at one time, Norrie at one time, and a host of others. So what happened with Chris Lighty?

She was talking about trying to get her life back and get a job when we were having a conversation about that recommendation letter and they said at one point, she mentioned at one point she had gotten a job offer from Chris Lighty and then like the day before she was about to start, day of, he died and then she broke down crying again. How did he die? Suicide. So it's alleged suicide, yeah right? But yes. He died and then she broke down crying again. She died Right But yes, so but they didn't believe that cuz a lot of people said they didn't believe it was suicide

They thought maybe something else happened. But did that come up at all? No, she didn't that was it was just a mention of her telling a story about how She was meeting with all these big names and people were trying to look out for but there were people who were like No, we're not looking out for you. We're not touching you. Wow That is the latest with Lauren. All right, we're not looking out for you. We're not touching you. Wow. All right. That is the latest with Lauren. All right, we got more next hour. Now, who's on trial today?

Who's talking today? Today they're going to talk to Cassie Stylist. His name is Deonte. They're also going to talk to an arson investigator and a LAPD officer. OK, all right. When we come back, we got front page news. And then, home of Lepo, who will be joining us

is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, we got front page news. And then the home of Lepore would be joining us is the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. Nick fans, we lost last night. Paces beat us 130, 121, the next game is tomorrow.

But tonight, the Timberwolves and OKC are the Thunderleaders series three, when that game happens at 8.30. You know, you was talking earlier about coaching though the one thing I don't understand is why the Knicks keep trying to run with the paces. Why don't they don't slow the pace of the game down and play half-court basketball? They can't run with the pitch. No not at all. I feel sorry for Carl Anthony Towns. Carl Anthony Towns look like he got 49 year old knees. Yeah running back and forth is real

difficult and the crazy part is I feel like the Knicks are always on the floor. Like they always. Well, yeah, they don't have a they don't go deep at all. Like they might rotate seven players. But they've been going a little deeper pause. You said they going deeper. Good morning, Morgan. Yeah, so a man connected to a mall shooting in Connecticut is now in custody as five people recover from their injuries.

Now shots rang out yesterday afternoon at the brass mill center in Waterbury, Connecticut, after an argument escalated. Now police say the gunman believed to be in his twenties used a semi-automatic pistol and fired at multiple people. Waterbury police chief Fernando Spagnolo says there are no deaths and other law enforcement agencies are assisting in the investigation let's take a listen to his comments several victims suffering from gunshot wounds they were all transported to local hospitals uh... currently they're being worked on and receiving medical treatment

uh... there are no fatalities at this time we are working uh... in the mall right now with our law enforcement partners from all the federal agencies, the state police conducting this investigation. Yes, so following the shooting there was a massive police response at the Brass Mill Center in Waterbury. Several government agencies have joined the local police with their investigation and all five victims are expected to survive.

Switching gears, the summer travel season has begun this year and there are concerns of airport delays due to shortage of air traffic controllers. President Trump's transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, says he's frustrated too, adding that the shortage of air traffic controllers is at a critical level and he's trying to get 25-year veterans who are eligible for retirement to stay on the job. Let's take a listen to his comments in part. We're 3,000 short. We've We've been 3000 short for some time. I love airports, but I don't want to spend four hours in an airport waiting to see if my flight's going to take off. We are offering them a 20% bonus upfront to stay on the job. Please don't retire. Yeah. So this is a nation-wide

problem. And it's also being, of course, you guys guys know and you're familiar with what's going on at Newark Liberty Airport but it's also happening in Texas as well. The latest FAA data shows that San Antonio's Airport is 20% short of their staffing goal. Houston's Hobby Airport is almost 20% short as well. And just last week a shortage of air traffic controllers at Austin's Airport prompted an FAA the FAA to issue a ground stop. So more than 150 flights were delayed. I mean, you guys are ripping and running in the sky. So have you noticed any difference as you're traveling as well? Yes.

Yes, absolutely. I cannot fly into the W.R. I can't fly out when I do try to delayed delayed delayed until it's canceled. Yeah. Where was I coming from? I was coming from Orlando and we had to stop in Richmond because there was something going on in Newark. I think they said the the radars were out so we had to stop in Richmond and wait for the radars to come back on in Newark. But you know here's what I don't understand. In early 2025 Doge fired, they did mass firings of FAA employees, including air traffic controllers. Why not just hire those people back? Oh, that part I don't know.

If you want to come back in. Like if I'm Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, I'm literally just going to hire those people back. Yeah, as opposed to getting the 20 year vets, 25 year vets to stay on the job, but yeah. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, I don't know how many of those people exactly were air traffic control workers,

but they did do mass firings, you know, of the FAA, and a lot of them were air traffic controllers and safety professionals. Why not just bring those people back? Would they argue that, would the government argue that they don't have the money to pay them? Cause wasn't it supposedly why they fired them, though? I mean, you gotta-

You gotta have it. This is what's happening now. Yeah, certainly, mean, you gotta have it. You gotta have it. It's what's happening now. Yeah, sir. To me, those are essential workers. You gotta have the money to pay essential workers. Yeah, absolutely. You don't wanna be playing around with that. And to answer your question, I ain't flying in the Newark.

I would rather fly in the JFK, which takes me extra 45 minutes to an hour, or LaGuardia. I just don't, I'm scared of the Newark. The crazy thing about all of those airports now, they have less flights. I don't know if y'all have noticed that. Yeah, JFK and LaGuardia,

so I had to fly into Philly from Boston because I want to drive. I had to fly into Philly because well I wanted to because it just wasn't it wasn't a lot of them you know how they were having flights leaving every hour when you that close not no more. All right and just you know keeping in line with the travel you you know, attention, Southwest passengers, Southwest Airlines. That is the final boarding call for free check bags on Southwest. The carrier's popular two bags fly free perk is over officially. Now Southwest says the move is being made to drive revenue growth. It's about it's an about phase for Southwest CEO Bob Jordan, who said back in September that having no bags, no bag fees was a huge consumer advantage.

But now Southwest is also set to end open seating in the first half of 2026. So we anticipate a lot of changes in the travel and aviation. I asked you guys earlier this year. What you mean they stop and overseeing, they're not doing musical chairs and the war on Southwest. No, no, you know how you get assigned seats now? Yeah, you're going to have to select your seating as well when you purchase your flights. I think that's better anyway.

Yeah, they used to do musical chairs. You used to walk on it. First of all, I stopped flying Southwest a long time ago just because it's disgusting. I like Southwest. I don't know what you're talking about, but I like Southwest. But you get on Southwest and the music starts playing. Then when the music starts, everybody got to try to find their seat. They literally play musical chairs.

No. Because you know what people do is, let's say, I will pay for it to get on first, and then I'll get on, and then hold the seat next to me for my spouse. And I'm like, me and the lady got into an argument. The only time I ever flew Southwest, and that was the last time. Never again.

And you flew your wife on Southwest? No, no, I was by myself. Nah, my wife was eating on Southwest. I've never flown Southwest because the one, I've never done it, because it just sounded like crazy to me. I think I might have flew it once. You would have put me on it! I put you flown Southwest because the one I've never done it because it just sounded like crazy to me I think I might have flew it once you put me on it. I put your Well, I learned fast I will speak up as I was Southwest will get your ass there they did it Oh, yeah, I got them the least

Connecting flights there get your way straight there. I ain't been on Southwest for a while but I used to fly Southwest all the time. I just don't like the musical chairs of it. That don't make no sense to me. Everybody just go on there and pick your seat. That just sounds like problems. We'll make sure you get that early boarding group and then you'll be alright. Check in on time. Well guess what, it's dead. There's no more. That's a wrap. Okay. All right, y'all. That's your front page news. Follow me on socials at Morgan Media.

Okay. All right. Well, thank you, Morgan. Thank you. Have a good one. You too. Now, when we come back, Humble the Poet will be joining us. You know, he's an author, hip hop artist, speaker, designer, filmmaker, creative consultant,

and he has a new book, Unanxious, and we'll talk to him next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning Breakfast Club Morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club We got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. I'm a little poet. He's back ladies Anxious 50 simple truths to help overthinkers feel less stress and more calm. Morning. Good morning.

How you feeling? Feeling fantastic. Good, good, good, good. Easier said than done, but it can be done. As somebody who deals with anxiety. You know what? It gets harder and harder, but it gets more and more worth it. Yes, I agree.

And we just gotta change the conversation, and I'm realizing that. Step one, stop talking about anxiety like it's herpes. Like it's herpes. Yeah, I have anxiety. She has anxiety. Anxiety is a normal feeling. Anxiety is a signal. It's like hunger. You don't say I'm hungry. What's wrong with me? You say, I feel hungry because it's been like eight hours and say, Hey, it's the same thing. Mel Robbins said it. You instead of saying I'm anxious, say I feel anxious because. I feel anxious because I got bills to pay. I feel anxious because somebody I like hasn't texted me back.

I feel anxious because I drank too many coffees this morning. And it's like knowing the reason allows you to understand the first step instead of looking at ourselves like we're failing because we have this signal and this emotion. Because when we think we're failing, we have anxiety, what do we do? We try to distract, we try to medicate, we try to avoid.

What got you to the point where you said you needed a reboot? What got you there, where like, this is time? My entire life, I've always just been focusing on freedom. I grew up in an activist space, but also like, I wanna be financially free. I don't wanna have a day job. I don't want all these things.

And then when you start jumping out of these cages, you start realizing the biggest cage you've ever built is the one that you built for yourself. And what we do is we decorate it by negotiating, we decorate it by using our intelligence, and we start saying, no, no, no, I'm not a slave to my habits, I'm not a slave to my impulses,

like I just want to enjoy life, I just want to experience the depths of life, and we're just intellectualizing our addiction. So I realized I've hit that point in my life where I was like, oh, the biggest cages, the biggest fences that I'm stuck behind are the ones that I built. And I realized like, okay, the basic story is

something on the outside needs to happen for me to feel calm and safe on the inside. That's the relationship. All of this anxiety talk is that simple idea. Something on the outside needs to happen for me to feel safe on the inside. That's the relationship. All of this anxiety talk is that simple idea. Something on the outside needs to happen for me to feel safe on the inside. Whether that's taking a vape, whether that's drinking alcohol, whether that's having sex, whether that's eating in front of the tv, whether that's taking your phone to the toilet. Because for people who take their phone to the toilet, try not to take your phone to the toilet and you will have an anxiety attack. Try not to take your phone to the toilet and you will have an anxiety attack

For people a friend of mine always eats in front of tik-tok and I said try it one time Try it one time not to eat with your screen on they ate half the meal because we realize we live in a world in a system That gets very powerful when we're on autopilot and now autopilot is us Outsourcing our stimulation outsourcing our regulation. We're like, yo, I can only feel safe from things on the outside. I need that just to get to zero. But when you let it all go and you go through this process and it sucks, it sucks. You know what I mean? The withdrawal sucks. Then all of a sudden you realize, oh, I can create this dopamine on the inside. Dopamine from the outside hijacks you, dopamine from the inside builds you. What does an anxiety sag look like?

So anxiety, just from a scientific, so I want people to understand this conversation is not philosophical, it's not spiritual, it's not moral. This conversation is just psychological and biological. So I'm not here to judge anybody's choices. Anxiety is just adrenaline and cortisol. So what happens is the body doesn't know what's happening. The body just knows things are changing. So when the body gets charged, it thinks there's danger.

That's what we call it fight or flight. But there's more levels, it's called the polyvagal system. You have freeze, so if something intense happens, we just freeze. Don't put a gun to your face, you've never seen a gun before, you're just gonna freeze. You don't get to choose that. Then there's fight or flight,

which now has turned into fight or scroll. And then we also have safety. And then the new one that's being introduced right now is fawn. Right? So freeze is play dead. Fight or flight is run away or fight. Fawn is I'm gonna make you love me. So this is a big one, especially for men,

because men aren't walking into romantic situations thinking about their safety the way women do. But men have to think about safety and they don't realize when they feel unsafe Which is nervous they fawn they get extra charming and now we're performing right and we have to recognize that so it took me 15 days of not doing all the big stuff to realize that just a second layer That is a third layer fourth layer you have to keep going down So yeah cool performing for beautiful women, but also like my nephew was just here on the weekend visiting.

I started performing for him, because I want to be the cool uncle. That's also fawning. That's also an anxiety. That's me trying to avoid anxious feelings. Like the moral of the story is feel your feelings, and it's going to suck. Put the phone away, eat the meal, feel the burn that's about to come. That burn is adrenaline and cortisol. That's what you need to protect your kids. That's what you need to get away from danger. But we're getting

triggered in moments that aren't physically dangerous anymore. Do you feel like we take the word anxiety and it's used too much? Already, for sure. From what you're saying, it's a natural feeling, right? I'm about to go on stage, there's thousands of people out there. You get a little anxious, but it's not like a lot of us. I'm sure some people do, but we don't get that anxious where it's like, I can't go on stage. It's like you get that little feeling and then it's like, I gotta go. And then you just go and do it.

But I feel like a lot of times people use the word anxious and anxiety as such a negative tool. It's like a nasty naughty word when you talk about it sometimes. As I said, we treat it like it's herpes. We treat it like it's a condition and only some people have it, some people don't. We give it like my anxiety, like it's an individual problem. Anxiety is a society problem.

But some people do have anxiety disorders where they actually have to take medication. Absolutely people have anxiety disorders, but the situation with that is if you have an anxiety disorder, if you're bipolar, if you have any mental health issue, there are still things that we can all do to improve how we feel. I'm not saying we're gonna cure it.

I'm not even saying we can reboot and delete our old system, but we can make choices, simple choices. Get more sleep than you need, drink more water than you need, get more sunlight than you need, and stay away from assholes. Which is why knowing the word anxiety is good. Like I think knowing the language

and knowing what it is you're going through is good because now you can identify it and then you can find cures for it. So the issue with that is, it's kind of like the word woke, right? Woke, you said? Yeah, that came from Eric Habadou, right? Stay woke and then Childish Campino

made it even more popular. Out they water. And it meant something. It meant be aware, it meant be self-aware, it meant know what's going on. And now it's been weaponized and changed the other way. It's almost an insult now, right? Oh, the woke mob, the woke, language changes.

That's what happened with mental health. You know, we're all millennials. We remember back, back in the days when you talked about mental health, people thought that meant like insane asylums and straight jackets. Then we got to like, okay, things have been normalized. You don't have to be embarrassed to say

that you saw a therapist or something. Now it's gone too far the other way where we treat mental health and we use that language completely incorrectly. We think we have to protect our mental health. Like it's some like crystal flower that like if somebody come near us we have to protect our peace and to protect our mental health. Mental health is just like physical health. So what I'm going to say is let's say the words's been used up, it's been weaponized just like, well, let's use mental fitness. Because you don't say when it comes to your physical health,

well, I'm not gonna climb these stairs because gravity is gonna make it harder. It's like, no, the only way that you can climb stairs is to keep climbing it. We have machines in the gym just for you to climb stairs when you don't even need to climb stairs. Why? To prepare you for the times that you have to. We out here dead lifting, lifting heavy weights. The heavier the weight,

the more we know the workout mattered. So then when our friends ask us to move a couch, and again if you're over 30 stop asking your friends to help you move a couch, but when you're ready to do it because you were voluntarily putting yourself in uncomfortable situations. We don't have that for our mental health. We don't have mental fitness training. We're not voluntarily putting ourselves in Uncomfortable mental situations so we get stronger instead. We're like I gotta protect my peace No, your peace protects you you don't protect your mental health your mental health protects you just like your physical health protects you You want to be able to pick up your kids so you go to the gym You don't say my kids are heavy gravity keeps holding them down. I wish we lived on the moon and be lighter No, you're like I got to go to the gym you don't say my kids are heavy gravity keeps holding them down I wish we lived on the moon it'd be lighter no you're like I got to go to

the gym for longer and longer I can hold my kids up to the point where I'm going to the gym just so I can open a jar when I'm 80. We're still kicking it with Humble the poet his new book Unanxious is out right now Jess? Alright interviews give me anxiety like they used to give me eggs like I love meeting people and all that but I never know what I want to ask you know what I'm saying. But I can't just not do it. This is my job.

Like I can't just not do it. So I have to face it head on and both of them give me tips. They you know mentor me with it as well and I'm getting better at it. I'm not as good as I feel like I want to be or I should be but it's still I still get anxiety doing interviews. You know just being as transparent as I can be but it doesn't bother me as much as it used to but sometimes depending on a person or whatever I'm like yo I'd be like no you're I ain't trying to do this Lauren

step in or whatever you know what I mean she's our other clothes but I like how would you treat that or how would you give advice you're illustrating the point you're illustrating the point perfectly. And in the beginning, because you're new to this, especially in comparison to folks that have been doing it for over a decade, your body's like, this is new, this is uncomfortable, I don't wanna do it. That's generally what the body's saying.

The body, the amygdala, the little tiny almond-sized part of our brain is just like, I don't know what this is, it's gotta be danger, right? So that's what your body's saying to you. And the only way, and this is the reason that this has to go beyond this book. We can hear these ideas, but the only way the body can actually believe this is through practice.

And the only reason you're getting less and less anxious feelings around the interviews is by doing more and more interviews. Now if you're just like, this don't feel good, I'm never gonna do it, let me go find a different job, let me go do something else so I don't wanna feel this, now you're robbing yourself of resilience. Who you're gonna be a year from now,

five years from now, ten years from now, by doing more and more interviews, you're getting your reps in. This is part of your mental fitness that you're doing. This exactly illustrates the point. And I'm not saying take on too much weight, just like when you go to the gym. Don't take on too much weight, start light.

Focus on your form, it's the same thing ease yourself in get into it but it gets to the point where you realize all of these things that we've been avoiding we've been outsourcing our safety through our phones through everything you know because it's like if you follow let's say a site right a social media site yeah all the social media site does nothing but post negativity and if you say you know, I'm gonna leave that alone because it f's up my energy. I'm following, I'm a blocker.

I don't see a problem with that. That protects your energy. That's diet. That's diet. That's sugar. You're realizing I'm outsourcing my dopamine and that's hijacking me. That's not a bad thing to protect your energy.

That's not a bad thing. And here's the thing, because I was thinking about that, because I know there was a J. Cole interview where he did two years off social media, and then he came back and he was like, oh, it was like, I never left. Right?

It's kind of like eating a salty potato chip. You're like, I ain't had one two years, all of a sudden. Perfect example, I haven't been on social media for a month. Obviously I went on the Breakfast Club yesterday to look stuff up, and then all of a sudden, I went, I fell down the rabbit hole. I found, you know, the Job is Mine video. I saw, then I wasn't even on the site anymore.

Now I'm watching, you know, 10 times, people tried to check Charlamagne.. I saw, then I wasn't even on the site anymore. Now I'm watching 10 times, people tried to check Charlamagne, I'm watching this stuff that's not even on the Breakfast Club. And I got lost in it, I got into autopilot. So it's understanding that this stuff was still created by the smartest people in the world, who were paid by the richest people in the world, for the explicit goal of hijacking us and keeping us in autopilot.

So it sounds like you're saying we should disconnect. Not just disconnect from your phone. Your phone is one of the bosses. We got to disconnect from everything. And if we do it from everything long enough, then we can go back. But the goal here is sovereignty. And sovereignty is different from freedom,

because freedom is I can do whatever I want. Sovereignty is I can control who I am. So this isn't for people who actually have anxiety disorders, it's people who just deal with everyday anxiousness. Well what I'm going to say is because as I said the pendulum and the mental health conversation has gone so far, so many of us are self-diagnosing. That's step number one. I agree with that. Step number two is if you have even a diagnosed anxiety disorder, let's just say your body produces extra cortisol and adrenaline, there are still choices and decisions that you can make that will improve how you feel in a day to anxiety disorder, let's just say your body produces extra cortisol and adrenaline, there are still choices and decisions that you can make that will improve how you feel in a day

to day life. I agree. And that's the important part. It's like we're not standings in one spot. We're either heading in one, we're either strengthening our sovereignty or strengthening our slavery every single day with the choices that we make, irrespective of what our mental health diagnosis is. our slavery every single day with the choices that we make irrespective of what our mental health diagnosis is and the other thing too with mental health conversations and cultures we use those words as the end of the story. I agree with what you're saying because we we talk about it but

then we don't do the healing work we don't talk about the actual healing of it. Yeah like if you've been diagnosed with a broken arm and then you out there walking and lifting heavy things, that's gonna make you know nobody's arguing that your arm isn't broken, but the choices that you make moving forward are either gonna speed up the healing, you can't speed up the healing, sorry, it's either gonna slow down the healing or destroy the healing. That's right. Right? We can't really speed up healing, we just have healing just takes time, you gotta respect the time for it. It's the same thing with these mental health diagnoses that we have. And we don't talk about the healing part of it enough.

We don't. I think that there's a lot of conversation about what it is people are dealing with, but not how to actually get through it. Absolutely, so when we have, you gotta think about anxiety like an iceberg. You can only see the tip, and there's like 90% underneath. We have no idea what's happening

because we haven't done the work to just revisit it. And that work can easily just be journaling and being like, why did this thing make me feel that way? Versus, that stuff makes me feel gross. I don't want it. Because even going to social media, why is social media triggering me? Well, it's letting me know, you know,

other people are doing things. I'm seeing other people's highlight reels. I'm comparing it to my behind the scenes and that's making me feel less valuable. That's making me feel less seen, that's making me feel all these things. It's just the awareness. The goal here is self-awareness and being able to sit and do absolutely nothing if we

want to improve how we feel. Well, it's just always negative. Social media used to be fun all the time. I used to love to be on it. It's just always negative now. And people talk about like, oh, the algorithm, algorithm, algorithm. Nah, it's literally people. Now that people feel like they have a voice and everybody can be heard and everybody,

they attack, they attack it even when it's not warranted. You know what I mean? So it's just, I don't even think it's like us, what we're seeing, how we're programming. I think you see it and you put it in our face, you know, pause. You see it and they put it in our face a certain amount of times, like a number of times. We can actually make that decision to be like, you know, I don't, I'm not subscribing to this. But let's look at it this way. If you give a kid a full bag of candy every single day, and we say, well, they should just be able able to make decision not to eat all that candy right when they're when they're really young

how long is social media existed we are children when it comes to social media this is the candy this is like the ultimate candy this this is the new epidemic we're in a dopamine epidemic they flooded the streets with dopamine we are not designed to know as many people as we know. We're not designed to know about all the news happening everywhere all the time, right? And then this is a system that encourages negativity. It rewards negativity.

If you post- It's fueled by the seven deadly sins. It's fueled by those. And think about it, if you post a picture tomorrow and everyone's just like, oh, you look great, you look great, you look great. And then I just comment, well, you don't look all that today. A, that comment will pop up straight to the top.

It's going to get the most replies. And that'll be the one that make me mad because they, how you don't see what everybody else saying? That's the one. Yeah, but you probably will notice that comment more than the other ones will blend in. We have a negative bias. That's just in us. Why do we have a negative bias?

Because we used to live in the wild. We had to assume the worst. You're walking through the forest and you hear a sound. You have to assume that something's going to kill you. Because if you're wrong, cool. If you're right, you're in danger. We have to assume the worst. Smart people, really smart people,

who were paid by very rich people understand this and they've used it to hijack our attention. Our attention and our focus is the most important thing that we have. We're still kicking it with Arthur, speaker, designer, filmmaker, creative consultant, and he has a new book, Unanxious.

platinum-selling artist, Danity King alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. Aubrey O'Day is us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. Aubrey O'Day is sitting next to us here. You are, as we sit here, right up the street from where the trial is taking place. Some people saw that you were going to be in New York, and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up?

First of all, are you here to testify in the Diddy Trial? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise based on her firsthand knowledge. From her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star, the truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamor. It wasn't all bad,

but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there. Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline.

He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No.

How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies. And quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception, lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero. She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her, until they didn't. I remember sitting on her couch and asking her, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was, you know, dying. This is a story all about trust and about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying. Listen to Deep Cover, The Truth About Sarah on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or

wherever you get your podcasts. Humbler poet, Jess? Going back, you said porn, you can't never go back to it, right? Yeah. But do you still ever desire or crave it? Yes. Okay, so you do. As I said, craving is a memory of comfort.

Right. Right? So that's not going to go, as I said, this is not a moral conversation. This is not porn is right, porn is wrong. This is just, it's a product. It's like sugar. I'm not here to judge sugar, but we know what sugar does. Right?

Porn is like sugar for your brain. It rewires your brain. There's science behind this. I'm not making this stuff up. I was on the Pornhub podcast. You know, I- You had a podcast? Yeah, I had a podcast. I was on there and I had a great conversation with up. I was on the Pornhub podcast. You know, I- You had a podcast?

Yeah, I had a podcast. I was on there and I had a great conversation with them. That's not the, it's the product, right? It's an addictive product, just like coffee, just like alcohol. These are physically addictive things. The goal is- Hey, your mouth started watering

thinking about it yourself. Yeah. Damn, I don't know what my- No, but let's do it. I'm not here on some like holier than doubt stuff. Like I'm just saying, I'm just saying. I'm not, you start reminiscing, right? But at the same time, it's like, listen,

at the end of the day, the goal here, we're not gonna be able to totally overhaul our system. We've had this software for 50, 60, 70 generations as humans, right? This world we live in, two, three generations. We're not used to living in cities with millions of people. So this is a situation, so when it comes to stuff like porn,

it's like the goal is, as I said, it's the same thing with pizza. It's like, yeah, I like pizza, it's cool. When I walk by a pizza spot right now, I don't completely Jones for the pizza. But if someone invites me out, I can enjoy it, and I can understand its value. But I don't have to look to it to just get me back to calm.

This whole idea, you know, what we're chasing even with the porn is the post-clarity. And what is that? We have just dysregulated our system so much that we finally, through that release, get a little bit of clarity. But what if you look at porn as something that leads to the, and then once you get to,

Absolutely. You have the clarity. Well, you have the clarity. Or you spend enough time you get to the n***a, you have the clarity. Well, you have the clarity. Or you spend enough time away from all of this stuff, you can live in the clarity. You can live in that clarity. You gotta live in the n***a. Like you saying, like, not live in the clarity.

No, because we don't call it n***a clarity, we call it post n***a clarity. You can live in that. That could be your default. Because think about it, especially for guys, that post n***a clarity is the moment you're like, I had just been operating on autopilot, I just spent a bunch of money I said did this and that

I said all the things I didn't mean what is it or I like this I want to be around this person I found wifey this is so interesting so what if you take this and then rub it on your nipples you know what you know what no we can talk about that that's an example of somebody who is continually outsourcing dopamine to the point where they have unlimited resources, they have unlimited power, so it just got wilder and wilder and wilder and wilder. But I also feel like if he would have been into porn

and porn hub like that and got his off watching that, he wouldn't have to do it in person and there's nobody to tell on him. So Chris Rock said it in Tambourine and I remember this and he's like, you know porn is an issue because your porn searches evolve. But you was like, you know, it's just like Fat Joe said, today's price ain't yesterday's price.

What you was looking up five years ago ain't what you're looking up now. Cause it's not enough. More choices, but also you need, you need it to elevate. You need more hot sauce. It's not one drop anymore. I get it. I understand what you're saying. We're outsourcing. That's all it it is and every time we outsource right

we are we're getting sedated so going back to the activism going back to the freedom we got to realize we don't live in this dystopian 1984 world with authoritarian governments we live in the brave new world where they're controlling us to comfort that's the tool every say if you want to get rich about the authoritarian government either. We're on track. We're on track, but we gotta realize if we don't have internal sovereignty, it doesn't matter.

Well, were you sovereign when you were naked and anxious in Germany? No, no. Okay. That's the perfect example. My homeboy lives in Germany. He's my oldest friend. I've known him since we were four years old. He's like, yo, I'm gonna take you to the spa. And I'm like, candles, massage, that sounds perfect.

We're on the bus, because you don't drive. And we're headed to the spa. And I'm like, you know what's gonna be really good for this fall? I'm gonna take an edible. So I eat an edible and it's gonna feel perfect. And then he goes, man, I'm so proud of you. You're so open minded. None of the other guys in our crew would ever do this. And I'm like, what are you talking about? Do what? He's guys in our crew would ever do this. And I was like, what are you talking about? Do what? He's like, you know, the naked part. And I was like, yeah, yeah, you're naked in a massage,

but they'll put a blanket over you or something. He's like, no, no, we're in the steam room together. I'm like, that's not a spa, that's a sauna. And he's like, oh man, I mixed up the words. So at this point, we're going to an all new sauna in Germany and I already popped the edible. You didn't know, you didn't even expect this. No, I was expecting a massage.

I thought I hurt my shoulder. So then it was, obviously the anxiety jumps up. I'm gonna be naked in Europe. It's probably normal for them, it's not normal for me. I'm gonna be naked in front of my friend. I had never done this before. And then you start to realize when you, so now you're in reaction mode and now you're scared

and plus the edible is hitting, it's making it worse. First thing that I did was I expressed it. I just used words. I'm like, look, man, I didn't realize what this was. And you could have put me in a cage by complimenting me and saying I'm open-minded and I want to live up to that, but I'm scared. And he's like, you're scared, I'm scared too.

And then we realized we're not even scared about being naked, we're scared about being judged. And then when we get there, you realize, oh, I thought it's gonna be like everyone's normal. Everybody thinks this is normal. I'm the only person feeling awkward. I could tell everybody, like there's a lot of this. Everybody was feeling awkward.

And that collective vulnerability made it a little bit easier. But just like your interviews, the longer I stayed, the more comfortable I got. Listen, I'm ready for a Charlamagne coming at me. I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. No, no, no. I'm ready, I'm ready for a Charlamagne car and I'm ready. I'm ready, I'm ready. I'm ready, I'm ready.

It just sounds like he was trying to take the friendship to another level. It flirty. No. I didn't say flirting. No, it did though. But it did. I've known him since we were four and it did. Being naked with your friend will do that.

Being vulnerable. Vulnerable. We measure friendships in terms of length. You, we measure friendships in terms of length. You gotta measure relationships for the vulnerable. Oh, God damn. Jesus Christ humble. What the? What?

So y'all had to sit naked in the sauna to be like, that's my friend. That's my friend right there. That's not really my friend. See how low it is? He's not really my friend. He's a half a friend. What?

What? I was ready for it. I was ready for it. See how foolish this guy is. It's okay. I was ready for it. I was ready for it. It's okay. I was ready for it. Look, you're not wrong. At the end of the day, you're not wrong. At the end of the day, it's still about being vulnerable. Relationships only grow through being vulnerable and being vulnerable is being naked. Either you're being naked with your body or you're being naked with your feelings. The honest question, all questions are honest, but when you were in the sauna and you looked around and you realized, I go, I'm bigger than a lot of guys in here, did that make you feel more comfortable?

But how do you know he was bigger? He could have been smaller. Because you can see he got eyes. Well he could have been smaller too but. Well he could, because obviously you just said he wasn't scared about being naked, he was scared about being judged, so we know he got a neck. No, I'm, listen, I'm, no, your boy's shoe size is 11 1? I'm okay.

Okay, okay. We're fine. What are you, did you just f***? We're fine, we're fine. Look, like that, you know what it is with insecurities is like, for example, if somebody has a certain height, they don't think about their height. People who lack something have an insecurity.

And again, I can't judge somebody for the genetic lottery they won, so like that's not much of an issue. But I think for me, it was more along the lines of like I didn't want to get caught staring by somebody you know if you see a woman or whatever and then also it's men and women in the sauna. No it's just men. No. Men, women and then once I got comfortable then they just threw in the next mix kids. Oh hell no. What? There were full nuclear families there.

I didn't know any of this. Is this cultural? I don't know how they do it in Germany. At the end of the day, I thought I was getting a massage. Instead it was just a bunch of sauna rooms and cold plunges. And I don't know why people couldn't wear clothes. In the beginning I was just like, all right, I'm in a different country,

this is their stuff. But as I said, I did not feel like most of the people in that room were comfortable either. It didn't feel normalized. Right? So it wasn't like if somebody lived in a culture where like, you know, men walk around Topolis and then all of a sudden they come to the beach and they feel weird. No, this, I felt like everybody felt kind of awkward. But yeah, once I got comfortable with all the adult stuff, then I remember going outside where there's like a pool area and then just seeing kids running around. I was like, oh no, this is a whole different level.

I'm not even trying to get used to this. And it was, but as he said, like it's incrementally making yourself uncomfortable and to sing and then being like, all right, the longer I'm in it, the more my body realizes. And this has been my mantra for this whole last 30 days, which is this sucks, but I'm not in danger. Yeah.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Humble the poet. Yes sir. We appreciate you for joining us. Appreciate y'all for having me. Charlamagne. Me and you. Spa. Naked. Germany.

She is DL. And Nicki Minaj commented, she retweeted it and she said, no. And that was it? People Yes, because the tweet was going and people would begin to pick that up. But the interview itself that she did was a lengthy interview with Volga Taya. But she talked about a lot of things.

She was talking about the fact that now she has to, so at first she had to pick and choose when she wanted to have her baby because everything that's been going on in her career, you know just how big she is. Now that she's a mom, she has to pick and choose when she gets to be a mom. Like simple things like, can I take my kid for a walk in the park or not? Because people want to take pictures of him? Yep that Does not sound fun whatsoever. Well, that's what happens when you're a celebrity. Yes, it does not sound It's just wild to me that you know

Breakfast club bitches, you can call me the donkey of the day but like I mean no harm donkey of the day for Wednesday May 28th goes to a teacher in Alabama named Tracy

Walker Tracy is 56 years old and she is charged with aggravated child abuse what did Tracy do to somebody's child let's go to Fox 10 news for the report please a judge today setting a $25,000 bond for Mobile County public school teacher accused of giving a drink containing ethanol to a four-year-old student. The Collins Road Elementary school student was rushed to the hospital back in April where doctors say she had a blood alcohol content level of 0.28. The judge ordering the defendant, Tracy Walker, to submit to a drug and alcohol test as a condition of her bond. Her attorney asked the judge for a reasonable bond and argued that she's an achieved 10-year employee with a bachelor's and master's

degree from the University of South Alabama with no criminal history. Walker is due back in court for an arraignment. She has been placed on administrative leave. Since when are Jell-O shots proper school supplies? Okay, Tracy didn't just cross the line. She took her whole class on a field trip over the line. Okay, why do y'all like playing with other people's turn? All right, this is why, you know, those of us with kids suffer

from parental paranoia right now because of sick evil twisted people Like Tracy Walker. Okay. Don't tell me that she didn't have no past criminal record That just means she was getting away with stuff. All right You are a teacher your primary duty is to facilitate student learning and understanding by imparting knowledge and creating a positive learning environment but no Tracy you want to turn kindergarten into happy hour, okay? Four years old, I don't even think that's kindergarten.

That's pre-K, all right? She's supposed to be in there teaching life skills, okay? Not mixology, all right? Teachers are supposed to create a positive environment for students. The problem with Tracy is she's 56 years old. So when she thinks positive environment, she thinks festivities, she thinks drinks, she thinks food. Hell, Tracy probably drunk her damn self.

Okay. She didn't bring that drink for the kids. She bought that drink for herself and she did that to that four year old. What she did to that four year old, what somebody did to her when she was young. Okay. And that's let her get a little sip. Raise your hands if an adult in your life, uh, let you get a little sip of some alcohol when you was a child.

Okay. I'm talking kids in single digits. All right. Raise your hands if an adult in your life lets you get a little sip of some alcohol when you was a child. Okay, I'm talking kids in single digits, all right? Envy raised their hand, Jess raised their hand. Ren, did you raise your hand? I know you did, you Puerto Rican. Okay, Coquito. Hey, fuck that. He was drinking Coquito at five, okay? Now, I'm not gonna say who the adults were in my life

that would let me get a sip of Budweiser, okay? The king of beers, because I don't wanna incriminate anybody. But that was a regular occurrence in the slums I'm not gonna say who the adults were in my life that would let me get a sip of Budweiser Okay, the king of beers because I don't want to incriminate anybody but that was a regular occurrence in the slums I'm from but that doesn't make it right. Okay, when you know better you do better and Tracy you got to know better You can't be given no four-year-old alcohol, especially a four-year-old that has no family ties to you Okay, IEP is supposed to stand for individualized education plans not intoxicate every preschooler Okay, this young girl is four. She won't be old enough to drink for another 17 years Do you know what you could be doing to this young woman's brain? You know what you could be doing to this young woman's liver the only thing more under the influence than the students was the teacher's judgment

Okay, I know Tracy had to be drunk too. Okay, they even think this was a good idea she had to be drunk. Now let me tell you another part of the story. Tracy Walker is a special education teacher. Sounds to me like she should have been a student. Okay, what's crazy is in Alabama if you're a special education student you're entitled to what they call free appropriate public education until you turn 21. I knew that because I remember being in high school and they would always say the special education students graduate at 21. So if you want to drink with kids Tracy all you have to do is wait 17 years and it's sad because if it is a kid with disabilities you are getting them drunk and getting drunk messes with

your cognitive functions and some of these poor kids already have cognitive impairment. That's why they're in special ed. Memory, problem solving, attention, all of that is not functioning at the expected level for their age and you give them alcohol? Come on. Those poor parents don't know what the hell going on. You're making an already tough situation tougher and for what? The moral of the story is if the golden rule is due unto others as you would have them do unto you, then the platinum rule should be to treat other people's kids the way you would want someone to treat yours. Especially if you're a teacher.

Please give Tracy Walker the biggest he-huh. What's wrong with people? That's crazy. And I will say in my father's defense, I was like four maybe as well. And I used to stay up late for like, yes, I was four years old. And you know, you a kid be like looking, looking at something and trying to try or whatever. And I tried it. And he was like, all right, he tried

it. Because I mean, he let me try because he was like, all right, now, now you don't like it, do you? I spit it out. But I kept drinking it. Yeah, it was beer and it wasn't liquor. It was beer Yeah, that's what I did my first sip. My first sip was Budweiser the king of beers. How old were you though? Single digits definitely. Okay. See how old you I think I was a little old I think I probably like it's a killer ten. No, it was Heineken. Oh, hey, you can't okay I'm not gonna get over. I thought y'all drink Corona. I'm not you are Spanish. I'm not Latino. Yes, you are But it was Heineken over? I thought y'all drank Corona. I'm not Spanish. I'm not Latino. But it was Heineken.

But dad did the same thing. Gave me a taste. I spit it right out. Yeah. Crazy. But I went over and I picked it up voluntarily. I was like, and he was like, alright go ahead and try it. You ain't gonna like it. And I didn't. He gave it to you. Y'all parents gave it to y'all. That was the same thing. I was like, dad how's it taste? You gotta try it. I ain't say it was my parents. Y'all the only ones incriminating your parents

My dad's 85 years old he don't give them. They'll still lock him up. Yeah, I try. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today So you spit it out back then? Because you you still have a taste for alcohol you drink now, did you swallow yours? No, what y'all talking about? He said you spit it out. I'm asking you. So you spit, cause you still have a taste for alcohol. You drink now. Did you swallow yours or did you spit it out? Alright, he throw back on your ass. Exactly. Pause. I know you know what you want to do. Big gulp was a person. Oh my goodness. So when he drink water now, the way he be. Like listen, handling that girthy bottle like that. Two hands on it. Yes, big gulp was a person, honey. I know that's right.

All right. Thank you for that dog here today. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. This morning during front page news, Morgan reported that the Trump administration is now halting new student visa interviews and expanding social media vetting for student and exchange visitor visa applicants. Meaning they're going to start looking at your social media, but we're asking $805,851.051.

Do you think it's fair for employees or schools to check your social media before hiring or admitting you to college or school? I don't know why I thought that been going on. I thought social media vetting, social media background checks, I thought that was been happening for a while now. I think they should do more social media vetting myself-585-1051 if you want to get a firearm license I think they should go through social media they do fingerprints they go through mental health but they don't go through your social media I

feel like some jobs been doing that though I could be wrong probably like on the low probably but I ain't never hear about it being like an actual thing that they check your social media I mean always for like cops, FBI, like stuff like that, government jobs. Yeah they do that but every job should because you want you want to know who you're employing. You want to know if you're a teacher, if you're employing a teacher that has an OnlyFans and there's a problem with that. I remember back in the day when uh this was like 2015, this was before Hillary Clinton came on the Breakfast Club and they did a social media background check on all of us. Oh

Really embedded our social media. Oh, you didn't pass that first, right? No Said things about them I've said about you. I'm gonna say to you. Yeah. Yeah, but eight on actually is because I dressed up you so it don't matter. Yeah. Yeah. But 800. Actually it's because I dressed up as Hillary for Halloween one year. You dressed up as who? Had the mask on and the Nike track suit. Here's an idiot. It was funny when that came up. They was like, you know, Charlamagne actually dressed up like Hillary Clinton and this, that, and the other. But she came up, she wound up coming up anyway. She was cool? Yeah, she was cool. She's been there twice. Yeah. But 800-585-1051, do you think it's fair for employers or...

Amy Robach and TJ Holmes here. Diddy's former protege, television personality, platinum-selling artist, Danity King alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. Aubrey O'Day is sitting next to us here. You are, as we sit here, right up the street from where the trial is taking place.

Some people saw that you were going to be in New York, and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up? First of all, are you here to testify in the Diddy Trial? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise based on her firsthand knowledge. From her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star, the truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamor.

It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there. Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day, covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal.

Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No.

How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lives, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero.

She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her, until they didn't. I remember sitting on her couch and asking her, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was dying.

This is a story all about trust and about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying.

Or schools to check your social media before hiring or admitting you, let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. ["Till I Make It," by The Breakfast Club playing over radio playing it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're asking 800-585-1051, do you think it's fair for employers or schools to check your social media before hiring you or admitting you to their college? That is the question. And that's because Trump's administration is now halting new student visa interviews and expanding social media to the vetting process. So we're asking is that fair?

I think it is. Yeah. Like you want to see who you work with and you know if you interview somebody they're not going to tell you the truth but social media, nine times out of ten, you could actually see what a person is doing if they're going through something hopefully or if they're crazy. Yeah but then you know you have things like yo some people's social media is literally their personal outlet some people like that's what I feel like in a sense that's what social

media is for for you to show what you want about your personal life how much of that is going to be judged by an employer or really taken seriously by you know what I'm saying? How can I don't know it needs to be some type of stipulation like or to a certain extent or something like that because for instance yesterday given what we were talking about with Lauren and when she went to DR that was fun you know that was business but what she was doing was personal right you know what I mean so now what if she goes into like a big say if BBC want to hire her or whatever and they go on there and they don't give her the job because they seen that she

parties in DR and she wears you know certain clothing that you know like now what what is you know yeah but I still think like even I'm to a all day right so if you want to purchase a firearm don't you want to see on their social media if somebody's threatening somebody, if somebody's living something crazy where you say, well, this person shouldn't have a firearm. You know what I mean? So I think they should, Shelderman.

Yeah, I think they do. They should have online vetting, social media vetting. I feel like some jobs already do that. I definitely know in entertainment a lot of, well, they were doing that because you got to think a lot of these entertainment companies were hiring talent and then remember the old tweet era? yes you know what I mean? the old tweet era and people would have to let you go because of old tweets and all that stuff like that so a lot of them were doing you know that

online vetting but I don't have a problem with it I think that is good because you know it's an extension of your character now I will which I don't have a problem with it. I think that is good because it's an extension of your character. Now, I will say I don't know how far back you should hold somebody accountable. You know what I'm saying? Because if you're hiring somebody at 30 and you saw them tweet something wild 15 years ago, I don't think that's fair,

but I think there should be some level of online better. Yeah. Hello, who's this? What's your opinion what's your thoughts my thought is this is similar to the First I want to say good morning everybody But this reminded me of the topic you guys had yesterday on Lauren and people judging her for what she posted on her social media Right and I believe that social media is for Personal use it is unless you have a brand social media that you can separately make which we all know We have our personal page in our business page, right?

If it's not on your business page, then it is none of your job business. But let me ask you a question, Ro. What happens if you're a racist and you post a lot of racist things on your social media? But now I'm hiring you, and if I'm hiring you, you're supposed to represent the company, and I don't want somebody that's racist representing my company.

Yeah, because people hire you on character They do hire you on character true true I didn't I didn't look at from that aspect because there are a lot of races that are openly sharing stuff on mine so I Understand that I understand that aspect but see a situation that's still Situational you know what I mean because even going going back to Lauren and that is evident, right? She has Brown Girl Grinding. That is her business, right?

Where there is nothing but her brand, her representing her brand eloquently, professionally, you know what I mean? Then you have Laura LaRosa. That's who she is when she's not in the studio or when she's not in the core or not working. So again, it's just situational, but I agree with the racist thing. Right. Cece. Good morning.

Good morning Cece. What's your thoughts? Where Cece is this? You was at court yesterday? Yes. No, I called yesterday. I called yesterday morning. Oh yeah.

Okay. So she called two days in a row, but you ain't the CC, you ain't Capricorn Clark, right? Oh, nah. Okay, what else? What's going on CC? I feel like colleges, one, you spend over 50 to $60,000 once you're done going there. They should not worry about what you're doing on your social media. You're paying them. Then on top of that, you're paying them.

Then on top of that, the job, how well you do your job does not have anything to do with how many kids you got at home, or if you got your man or your husband on your page or anything, I don't know. Everybody should stay off social media. I do think, yeah, but I do think they're checking for character, what I do think should happen,

and Chuck D was up here talking about this Uh a couple of weeks ago There needs to be social media etiquette classes for kids and they need to be taught social media etiquette Early because a lot of these things that they are putting online can affect them in the future at schools Yep at jobs. Like I think that's what actually needs that but as parents that's what we should be doing, right? We should make a sure our kids are, we're protecting our kids and making sure we're explaining to them what social media does and the effects of it.

Because right now they might be kids having fun. But 10 years from now, whatever they put online stays online. It never goes. You know what? You know, one thing about it is gonna be hard to even have our kids listen to us because we didn't listen to our parents when we were younger either. And that just, that's just like whatever piece of self. What it needs to be is to even have our kids listen to us because we didn't listen to our parents when we were younger either and that just that's just

like whatever piece of self what it needs to be is somebody that they look up to like a Kaai Sanat or something like that to teach a class like that and Kai already displays that right he has a level of etiquette correct that a lot of kids don't and a lot of kids look up to him so you know furthermore than us being the guardians and the parents it should be other kids doing that too. But you know what's gonna make them listen when they hear people like Akai or whoever talk about opportunities they lost

or opportunities they didn't get because of something they put on social media. 800-585-1051, do you think it's fair for employers or schools to check your social media before hiring you or admitting you to their college or university? Let's discuss this at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. If you're talking about it, you know we talking about it.

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us We're asking do you think it's fair for employers or schools to check your social media before hiring or admitting you to their college or university? This conversation comes from Trump the Trump administration is halting new student visa interviews and expanding social media vetting For student and exchange visitors. All right, so that's what we're asking 885 105 1 and we got t-shirt Searching in social media because the interviewers with like your personal life and they want this they want you to create this work-life balance and it's just like if you

check in my social media for me to work somewhere for you it's kind of it's fly. We want to make sure you're not crazy we want to make sure you're not racist we want to make sure you're not doing something illegal because nowadays everybody posts the illegal stuff they do online too. It was wild when a woman called up here a little while ago and said, you know, we paying mad money on this college campus and don't check my social media. What if you're on social media talking about shooting up the school? Correct.

Right, right, well you definitely got a point there, but what if also they like, say for instance, you got somebody who models and that's their way of like promoting what they do on social media and you're like half naked. You go and fire me for this because i'm trying to you know have a side job on top of this job that i come in and do a good job at right every day that's interesting because you know uh remember that woman remember the police

officer who was on in the music video i didn't think she should be fired i don't think she got fired i think i transferred but i don't think she got fired what about let me ask you a question what about a teacher right let's say a teacher is doing I think she got transferred, but I don't think she got fired. What about, let me ask you a question. What about a teacher, right? Let's say a teacher is doing OnlyFans. She's not naked, but provocative. You know what I mean? Do you want your students going to that, having that teacher? Yes.

Yeah. Depending on how she looks. Please. Depending on how she looks. Especially my son, yeah. All right. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Madison.

Hi, back to the club. Hey, Gwyn. What's up, Madison? Talk to us. What's your thought? I think that they should continue to do it. And I also think that, well, I know they've been doing it with my sorority. I crossed in 2016. They did a social media audit on this. We had to put our Facebook and our Instagram on there. And they just looked to also see how you truly are the community and what you pose. You see that in mine. What you as a da? I'm not in data. I remember of alpha alpha sorority incorporated. Okay

Thank you mama, all right. Thank you. You have a great day you too now What's the moral of the story if we judge if we judge about your social media and Jessica Rob more will never have a job else Else period they want judge from my social media my social media past and Jessica Rob More would never have a job nowhere else. Else, period. They gonna judge from my social media, my social media past, all of that. But I think a lot of that stuff was a long time ago, though. Like, I, I, I, no.

But some stuff, that's... That's true. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I mean, the last time you really, really wilded out on social media You didn't know if you wanted a job That's why I never get another job cuz they be like, uh, well we do something wrong this you can go right on line That's true though. Yeah, but I mean that's why you need to continue to be an entrepreneur. Right. Oh, you too.

Mr. Mental Health Reform. But that comes with age. But you know what though? To Jess's point, you got to give people that opportunity to grow. That's why I said I'm not judging people based off what they tweeted 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago. If you're 30 and you're applying for a job, you know, with the college and all types of other stuff, I'm gonna look at your tweets and be like, damn, when you was 15, you said X, Y, and Z. No, not like that. Well, even when you was 20, like I was 20 years old. You know what I'm saying? It's

crazy. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. You all right? Cover your mouth even if you are choking. What the fuck? The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Cover your mouth even if you are choking what the fuck? The fuck? Shit! The Breakfast Club Good Morning The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club

Let's get to the latest with Lauren Lauren becoming a straight face She gets in from somebody that knows somebody She gets the details I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything She be having the latest on this The latest with Lauren LaRosa I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on this. That's sound the things. The latest with Lauren LaRosa.

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. What was the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. LL Cool Bay. Good morning. So another thing that we need to talk about

really, really quickly, it might be a congratulations. I'm not for sure if she's had the baby yet, but Cassie has reported it has went a congratulations. I'm not for sure if she's had the baby yet, but Cassie is reported has went into labor Okay, she's in the yeah, she's in a hospital in New York now There were some reports that there it there may be complications, but I haven't confirmed that I did reach out to her attorney to try And figure that out, but he said that it was something that he would not speak on you reached out to an attorney about her Having a baby who else would I reach out to her? You reached out to an attorney about her having a baby? Who else would I reach out to? Her?

Alright, I'm thinking mine. You reached out to a rep and the attorney was the first rep number that I had. I don't have a publicist number for her. I was thinking of her. I'm thinking we just mind our business about her having a baby. That's what I'm thinking too. I know you got a job to do but there's no consciousness kicks in? So my consciousness kicked in because I'm like I don't know if I want to say congratulations she's in labor and if there's complications and something's wrong like that sounds so like not right I guess they can graduate Yeah, I don't even say that you heard this complications you don't know if it's true I can't

Actually labor and I he wouldn't confirm anything to me. These are just reports. So yeah I would just say a prayer if I heard somebody in the complications just the way to black maternal death rate is set or not, he wouldn't confirm anything to me. These are just reports. So, yeah. I would just say a prayer if I heard somebody in the comments, just the way the black maternal death rate is set up. Yes, and that's what made me. No, Hush, you're lying now. No, no, no, no, I'm not.

When I reached out, I said, the first thing I said was, I know this is a sensitive topic, but I feel like if I report on it, I want to make sure that if there is something wrong, I at least can know like, all right, what not to say not to say or like you know how sensitive to be about it. Dang. Shoot. Well, she's in labor with praying for.

She's in a labor unit in New York. Wishing her a safe delivery. And this is baby number three, right? Yes, this is baby number three with her husband, Alex Fine. All right. Now moving on, we're going to go into Tory Lane's. So yeah, take it Taking a left turn so there was this video that was released to the shade room And it's all over the internet now of the you guys remember when Tory Lane's was stabbed the 14 times

Yeah, last week there's video of that that is a circulate and in the video Of course you you don't really see the actual stabbing you just see the guy over top of him and Tory's like, you know, you're so little that you're kicking and punching and basically trying to keep the guy off of him. Like a red door just here to there. But no guards come the whole time. No guards come. Cause to be honest, it just looks like a fight. It does. It just looks like a regular fight. But I was wondering, I wonder if the guy came up behind him because Tory's big pause, right?

If you look at his jail pictures Muscular and the guy that looked like he did the stabbing from his pictures He looked very thin and skinny so it feels like Tori should be able to flip him around One of you came up behind him, you know, Tory Big. You know what I'm saying? Then he stabbed him. I was wondering if he could flip him around. He hit the ground. He was on the ground, Envy.

I know you were the official DJ at a free call, man. Ain't no can't nobody tell me different. I can't even have a conversation without you saying something gay. Me? Me? We was just in here minding our business. Yeah. Listening to a story about a man getting stabbed in prison.

Pause, pause. King, yo. Go ahead. Yeah, Envy is crazy. Because you see him on the ground, Envy. So I don't understand how he likes him. Ben flipped over. Oh my goodness. Also, did you call the jail to confirm? Did you call and say why no guards came to his aid? I did reach out to multiple people to figure out what is their response to the fact that there's no guards at all in this video and Tory just gets up and walks away

um But maybe he didn't get stabbed yet or no No, he was stabbed up He was stabbed because then people started screenshotting like as he walks and you see like the blood on his body and on his Face and stuff like that. So he was stabbed at the point when he was walking away But again still no guards responded. Um, and there have been reports that uh, this the guy that stabbed him He he spoke into TMZ He told them that he thought that Tory Lane's he alleged that Tory Lane's was trying to put money on his head

I'm trying to take his life. So he thought he was acting a self-defense How the hell did he speak to TMZ? They called them on the box? Him on the phone he called them on the phone Huh, he speaks English. I'm there the stories in English. they said they're the prison phone call with Santiago Casio Who's already serving life in prison? For those who don't know used to work at TMZ right? Yes, how do people get videos like that from inside the jail? I'm just normally leaked from someone that would have access And they get paid for it. I was gonna say do they pay for it like do some outlets pay for it?

Some outlets do pay for it But it's not as much as y'all think. Like people think you get a big payday and it don't be as much as you think. But some outlets do, some outlets don't. But sometimes things are leaked depending on who's leaking them because you want something out there.

You want people to be made aware of something. And that's why when I watched it, my first thing was, wait, where are the guards? Because to me, there's something wrong. Yeah, absolutely. Maybe guards were probably in on or whatever, something like that. Because where are you guys? because to me that was there's some something wrong like yeah absolutely um yeah maybe guards were probably in on or whatever something like that because where are you guys i don't know were they supposed to be there uh but yeah so i did reach out to i haven't heard back i reached out

to uh toyland's attorney i also reached out to uh a rep for the warden and i reached out to another personal toy scene as well to just trying to figure out how to nothing yet. Okay, so what else is in a pack? Okay, now let's bring in some love. Oh, not yet. Because it's a lot going on with black love. Y'all know, I'm kind of in and out.

But since I've been talking about not no love, we've had Remy and Pat fall out. Yes. Yes. You did a great job reporting that by the way. Thank you. Yandy MNDC's I don't know what is happening over there. But what happened with them? So Yandy MNDC's Yandy's like ex best friends used to work with her is claiming that she has like a whole little side boo thing in London and he got caught up because of it because there was a photo that looked like it was three people when it was you know really him and Andy's side boo and How come Scott Young don't got the cameras rolling now? Listen, I have no idea but She do but she be in Atlanta a lot. No, it's still stuff going on in New York.

Perhaps we need to bring the New York franchise back. That used to be the best one. Absolutely. But I don't know Black Love is just, it's wavering. So the guy that he used to be her assistant right? Yes. Or hand stylist or something like that. Yes. Something like that. He was making videos walking around three days trying to get all this information out. He said she got a boo over in London that she cheated on the DC way. And he know because he flew over there to cover for her. Yeah. I would never hire him ever. And he called us off her friend and then he got online and started a fake crime. How do you know he's telling the truth though? We don't know if he's telling the truth or not. Well, I reached out and I got it. Oh Lord. Yandy Mendeecee or the friend? I spoke to Yandy. Of course you did. And I have a statement from

Yandy. It says I'm human and right now I'm grieving the loss of someone who was like a brother to me. She's talking about the guy that made the videos. Bryant wasn't just a friend, he was family. This has been incredibly painful. I truly appreciate all the love and support my family has been showing during this time. It means more than I can express. As for everything that has been said, I'm choosing to handle it privately. Not everything needs to be picked apart in the public and speaking on it right now won't bring any good, only more noise. So I appreciate those giving me the space and our space to protect our peace. That's why I love Lil Yandy, because AKA he dead to me.

Ha, crazy. She said you could say that on there? Yeah. Okay, okay. There was a statement from her. Yeah, because that's what that is. That was a long statement that didn't ask for privacy. I'm just saying.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I love you, Yandy, but that was a very long statement just to say, hey. You know she keep it real cute. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, she did. That's one thing. She has always matched her keeping it cute.

She probably in a nice little speaking engagement dress when she sent it. All right. I think I want to show you our Barack Obama. I mean Barack and Michelle. They broke up too? No, they together. Date night in New York. Because we're talking about black love.

That's dope. And they're together. Oh, they were on a date night. And stop playing with them. Yeah, they were out in New York. All right. Salute to them. All right. Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Now let's

Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. How far would he go to cover up what he'd done?

The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific. And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've seen a lot of stuff over 30 years, you know, some very despicable crime and things that are kind of tough to wrap your head around. And this ranks right up there in the pantheon of Rhode Island fraudsters. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right?

And I maximized that while I was lying. Listen to Deep Cover, The Truth About Sarah on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is an iHeart podcast.
