I feel blessed black and highly favorite. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. Good morning. The weekend is here. How are you feeling? Salute to all the Yankee fans out there. Last night, the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox. That's why our board-op and producer Red does not have any Boston paraphernalia on this morning.

You're a Boston fan, red? Is he? How are you a Puerto Rican from Jersey and you? He's Puerto Rico from the Bronx. From the Bronx. I'm not like the Yankees. That's why you're wearing your baseball gear today. That's why?

Yes, because him. Because all week long, it's Boston stuff on, but he took it right off. Why are you in a red soccer? You got right now? I never liked the Yankees. I felt like the championships growing up, so. Damn. Yeah, I never liked the Yankees.

We don't like you either. I'm having a rough morning today. I'm sure. This Latino, Latino crime that baseball causes is just crazy. Like, baseball have Dominicans and Puerto Ricans more and more than usual. That's right. Thank you. Only during the playoff season, though.

So, salute to all the Yankee fans out there. So what does that mean? Because I don't follow baseball. Well, we're playing to Ron. next. And next we're playing Toronto for the American League division and then it's the World Series. I haven't watched baseball since the 90s.

You know, growing up in South Carolina, we had TNT. I was a TBS. I don't remember. We used to watch the Braves all the time. So I used to like baseball and everybody was on steroids. When everybody was on steroids, the sport was amazing. Well, they changed it a lot. They sped it up a lot.

So now the games are not going to be extra, extra long. There's time, how long the pitch you could take to do certain things. You can go to the bag a certain amount of time. I care about the home runs, though. Home runs made it exciting, man. Well, everybody was on steroids. That was great. Steroids don't make you a legend.

Makes you stronger. Yeah, but you already got to be a legend. You already got to have that type of talent in order for the performance and enhancing drugs and enhance you. Exactly. It's not like you're a monster. Yeah, but if you hit the ball and you're on steroids, it's more likely to go out the park. I'm saying, I could get on steroids right now and I still wouldn't be as good as Barry Barnes. You understand what I'm saying?

Yeah, that's true. Because you're 5'1. No, I don't have that God-given talent. I still got God-given talent, the Barry Bonds, the Mark McGuire's, the Sammy's, They still had God-given talent That was out of this world And we better lay off the damn Tylenol, I know that

He's just so damn slow He ain't pregnant What? What? No, I'm saying he's slow Oh yeah I am not slow They ain't got nothing to do a Tylen That could be that just for men

The fumes from the Just for Men might do that too though Now it's the fumes from just for men Oh my goodness Well good morning, it's a Friday And we got a special guest joining us She's from Beauty in Black on Netflix We have Taylor Paul Adair Williams

gym that Jess and I go to. He's the reason that Jeff looks like she on steroids. Yes. Don't look like I'm on steroids, idiot. Yes, you do. You've seen you back? No, I don't. No, I don't. Well, you eat like cheese days, three cheese danishes a day, so you shouldn't, but we'll talk about that

another day. No, I do not. Well, let's get the show cracker. We got front page news. Mimi will be joining us and ask the breakfast club. Good morning. Wake your ass up. Morning, everybody is DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen Nagar. We are the breakfast club. Let's get into front page news.

Let's start off quickly in football. Now the 49ers lost, beat the Rams last night, 26, 23 in Thursday night football. Now, Major League Baseball, the Tigers beat the Guardians, and the Yankees squash, destroyed, killed

the Red Sox last night. Now, tonight is game one of the 2025 WNBA Finals to Phoenix Mercury play the Vegas Aces. Let's go Aces. Yeah, all right. Big Asia Wilson, dropping a clue bond for Aja Wilson. Let's go, baby. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NB, Shaldemaine. Jess, how y'all doing?

Peace, Mimi. Good, happy Friday. So we're now in day three of a government shutdown and President Trump is signaling he wants to use it as more than just leverage. Yesterday on social media, he posted that he was meeting with his budget director, Russell vote of Project 2025 fame to decide which federal agencies could face cuts. Now, that's a major shift because just last year, Trump denied knowing anything about Project 2025. Now, that's a conservative playbook that calls for dismantling agencies and replacing career staff

with loyalists. Now he's embracing it and even bragging about the opportunity Democrats have given him. Now, vote has already told House Republicans to prepare for mass layoffs on top of the hundreds of thousands of workers who have been furloughed during the shutdown. Now, union leaders, they call it illegal warning families, will be caught in the crossfire. And here's how Senator Ted Cruz put it. Let's listen to him. President Trump is going to use that as an opportunity not to tell people you're furloughed for a few days, but instead to send pink slips and to get rid of left-wing bureaucrats who are imposing left-wing

priorities that are contrary to President Trump's priorities. I think that is fantastic. And what it's going to do is it's going to cause Democrats in Congress to scream and weep and gnash their teeth. I cannot wait for the next Democrat lunch when they start screaming at each other, when they start seeing pink slips go out at the EPA, at the Department of Labor, at the IRS. So that's the White House or Ted Cruz speaking on behalf. of the White House, which is not doubling, which is not backing up off of its message.

Legal experts note the president, though, doesn't have the power to eliminate agencies created by Congress. But on Capitol Hill, both sides are digging in. Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffrey, says public pressure will force Republicans back to the table, while Speaker Mike Johnson insists the GOP already did its job with a short-term funding bill and blames Democrats for holding up the process over health care. And former Vice President Kamala Harris, she has. He's also weighing in this morning, writing on social media, that Project 2025 has always been Trump's plan and that he's implementing it right in front of our eyes.

But, you know, when they say Trump promises to cut Democrat agencies, what do they mean? Like, he's going to suspend thousands of workers, right? He's going to suspend thousands of workers, but he's also trying, they're trying to, you know, cut the federal government. So, in essence, trying to finish off the job that Doge started and get rid of some of these federal agencies altogether. So agencies like HUD, Department of Education, Department of Labor. Yeah, he said any agency that doesn't align with his values. Environmental Protection Agency. Yep.

It has nothing to do with Republican and Democrats, I was going to think Dominicans, but Democrats, he said it has to do with aligning with his values. But I do have one question. Dominicans swear they own political party. You were really about to say it. I'm glad you was about to admit it, finally. You know, shut up. I do have one question.

They said, you know, somebody asked me yesterday they were asking, you know, with the government shutdown, how much more power does this get? Trump where he doesn't need to necessarily get approval from Congress or anything else. How much more power does he have now? Well, that's what he's exactly trying to do is amass more power. So that's why

during the government shutdown, they're trying to move behind back doors and do a lot of these close a lot of these agencies and do a lot of things without having to vote, without having the Democrats take their votes and get their opinions on it. And so that remains to be seen just because we've

never seen anything like this, right? We don't know exactly what he's going to do. It seems like every day they come up with a different way to amass more power. Yeah, somebody told me yesterday by doing this, you know, he can now try to fire more people, which is what they wanted to do anyway. Yeah, exactly. And so fresh off of signaling that he'll use the government to shut down parts of 2025, President Trump is now setting his sights on American universities. The White House on Thursday rolled out a compact academic excellence in higher education. That's a 10-point plan that offers extra funding if they agree to overhaul how they operate.

The memo was sent out to nine schools, including the University of Southern California. And officials say more institutions will be offered the deal in the future. Now, here's what's in it. To sign on to it, universities would have to agree to change their hiring practices, their admissions practices to pledge to remain institutionally neutral on political and social issues. They would bar transgender women from women's sports and locker rooms, and they'd also have to freeze tuition rates for five years and cap foreign student enrollment at just 15%.

Now, in exchange for participating, schools would be given money. They would be put in front of the line for federal grants and research money. And schools who don't sign, they'll still get federal funding, but just without that priority. Now, Governor Gavin Newsom of California, he wasted no time blasting the plan. He warned that if any California University, signs on that the state will immediately strip billions in funding, including cow grants that

thousands of students rely on. In his words, quote, California will not bankroll schools that sell out their students, professors, and researchers, and surrender their academic freedom. Now, USC is not alone on that list. There are other schools like Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Brown, and the University of Virginia. So we'll see how that plays out. Another round for Governor Gavin Newsom and Trump on the educational front. So, question, what does the Trump administration want people to do? Like, you're making cuts to all these government agencies so you don't want people to work. You're cutting funding at schools so you don't want folks to get an education.

What exactly do they want American citizens to be doing? Like, what would he like to see people in American citizens? It makes no sense. Yeah, like, stalled? I don't know. Like, it's the weirdest thing ever. It is the weirdest thing ever. And every single day, it just seems like there's something else that piles on.

piles on and so it seems like they're attacking every branch right and it's all laid out in Project 2025 as we talked about in story one where Trump said he didn't know anything about it but clearly there's a blueprint for how they're going about this so we'll have to continue to watch and see

what happens and coming up at seven Americans now see the greatest danger facing the economy will tell you what they think that is and that's coming up at seven man we ain't got no good news I'm sorry NB I've reached Trying. I was trying. I was trying. Find your own joy. Didn't your Yankees win last night?

You're right. The Yankees didn't win last night. Dominicans can be happy about something. I'm not Dominican. Get it off your chest. 800. 585.1.5.1.5.1. Get it off your chest. 8585.105.1. Hit us up right now. Ven a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Come morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up. Wake up. With your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Are you mad or blessed? We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this? This Kirby. Kirby, what's up? Get it up your chest, Kirby. Yeah, my beef with you, DJ. I'm sick of you messing up these people names that's coming on the show, bro.

Bro, look. Oh, my God. I do it all the time. Yeah, look, it is what it is. Yeah, I'm with jazz, man. You got a college education, but you're a little slow, bro. Oh, damn. Crazy.

You got a college education? Shut up. I'm just saying, man, I'm from the streets, but I can get these names pretty right, bro. But here's the thing. You called this lady Soraya, Saraya, whatever you was calling. Sharia made messed up the name, too. But they know I can't talk. And Envy's defense, though, he never says he graduated from Hampton.

He just said he went there. I did he say he went to Howard, but did he never graduated from Howard? Don't compare me to Diddy, but I did graduate. I did graduate. Now nobody want to be compared to Diddy. All you knew, you know, he was. our idol for all these years. Not a day he's getting sentenced.

Nobody want to be compared to Diddy. I just said, don't compare me to Diddy. There's a lot of other things Diddy did other than rub on his nipples. Maybe I should write a letter to the judge. Judge, you know what I mean? Don't judge that, man. You know what? That's why he didn't ask you to write a letter.

Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, good morning. What's your name? Marcella. Hey, Marcella. Get it off your chest. He's not so upset.

Hey, what's the one of my love listening to you all. I just wanted to say that I believe the Trump administration, what Trump wants, is absolute power. He doesn't want to be questioned the challenge, and that's why he's going the way he's going. That's the plan. Remove the people's tongue, take their money. They're not going to question you. They're not going to challenge it. They'll be too scared of you.

The other thing is I work in a school. I'm a teacher, and we've been doing a cell phone thing. And as a parent and a former student, I get the concerns and things like that. But as a teacher, I'm going to be honest It's been way better Since this year started Without having to fight kids For their cell phones

Without being threatened To not giving their cell phones back My school works a system That seems to work right now And the kids have fallen in line And I believe that if every school Can figure out Their niche with the cell phone

It shouldn't be an issue or problem I like that It's just about the school figuring it out Like I'm not going to lie to you We've had some battles with kids that even took their cell phones and put it inside their underwear. Damn.

I'm not going in your pants to get your cell phone. But we have them locked up in a bag. And in a case of emergency, the dean, they take the bags outside when we all evacuate so the kids can call their parents once we get out. So the cell phones don't stay in the building. I'm glad that y'all are being solution-based. And I really don't understand the problem with taking these kids' phones

because these kids will give up their phones to go to, you know, well, I don't know, I guess comedy shows and certain events, right? Certain events, they take your phones. Yes, yep. So it's just like, what's the difference? It's school. Well, the problem is if they do tell you school and there is an issue or there is an event, you're not going to have time to get that device to get it off. So you make kids turn their phone

off, leave it in their backpack, so if there is something, they can go in their backpack and get it. And if they do take it out their backpack when they're not supposed to, then you take their phone. Well, listen, we appreciate your service, man. Absolutely, we do. You know what I mean? Thank you so much. Absolutely. Teachers provide us. Thank you. I love y'all guys. I love you, me, me.

weekend. Love you too. My son goes to an all technology ran in school, St. Francis, so they have to do, they have to, they do everything on the phone on the phone and laptops. So we got to have his phone. Yeah. Get it off here, Chess, I'm with you, they got to have it. And even they have iPads. My kids have

iPads about their whole classes and they have, they do assignments through their iPads. But we grew up in the era where if you had your beep on you, you would get suspended. So I agree, let the kids have their phones, but just turn them off, keep them in their bag. If they reach for their phones and they try to use their phones during class, then maybe, you know, You administer some type of consequence.

But even when we had our beepers, I would have to keep the beeper in my backpack until after school. You couldn't see it. If you started, BBU was getting suspended. Yeah, they were taking it. Absolutely. Well, get it off your chest. Call us up right now.

We're headed to court today. Why the power stopped in the back? First of all, shut up. Shut up because my lights are on. The power is on. There is. Well, we got the latest. We are going to court today.

Today will be the day that Sean Diddy Cones will be sentenced according to the court. Hopefully, not hopefully, but today is supposed to be the day. And there's a lot happening. The gloves are off. They talk about they got sex doctors saying he's in control of his sexual disorders.

Sex doctor. Because it's sentencing day. Yesterday on Sentencing Eve, there were so many documents that were submitted. There's videos. We got a lot to talk about. He is fighting for his life. As he should, he paid him 20 years.

He also wants to speak to the judge too. So we're going to get into it. All right. We'll get into that. When we come back, it's the breakfast club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren, we come in a straight. What's you got to go get something? She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the detail. I'm a long ground that goes a little bit about everything.

She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes she has details. Sometimes she has details. Sometimes she has. a little bit everything. Well, it's the ladies.

On the breakfast club. Talk to me. L.L. Coolbe, what you delivering today? Delivering some news, because Diddy is about to be in court in front of this judge. So that is what we're delivering. So, okay, so today is the day that Sean Ditty Combs will be sentenced. Now, there's a lot happening. So last night on the eve of his sentencing, his team submitted their sentencing conversation.

It was like a 60-61-page packet. It included, you know, a letter from Diddy. It included just some of the time. conversation in a you know pleas to the judge so what we found out was that for his attorneys will be speaking in court today did he yesterday there was some news that broke

that he potentially wanted to speak in this sentencing package they give a little bit more detail on the fact that he does want to speak to the judge they say that you know this proceeding holds significant importance for Mr. Combs so he wishes to appear before the court address your honor and allocate in the most dignified

and respectful fashion possibly wants to speak for himself this will be the first time that we've heard did he speak long for him in court this whole trial? I think he should. You're 55 years old and you're facing 20 years. Why wouldn't you speak for yourself? But I was thinking about this, right? When you speak to the judge, the judges want to hear that you're sorry, right?

You're apologetic that, you know, you wish you could do things that you reform. You're going to do better, right? Yeah. But just a couple of days ago, you wanted to acquittal because you said you did nothing wrong. So how do you go in front of that same judge and, you know, and say sorry when three days ago you wanted to acquittal because you felt like... Well, the best apology has changed behavior, but, you know, you not going to know if his behavior changed until he, you know, in the future. Yes.

Well, Envy, to your point, from what I understand, what he did with that whole Rule 29 thing, it can be looked at as procedural too. Like, this is something anybody would do in that circumstance. But yeah, so speaking of forgiveness, Diddy wrote a letter to the judge that we'll get into, but they also submitted

a link to a video that will be played in court. And it's like an 11-minute video that talks about the life that he lived outside of court and outside the prison and his kids are involved. Let's take a listen to to some of that video. Today, now I'm a full-time dad, and I'm going to be there for you

through everything, all of y'all. Every Sunday I've got to slow everything down and go to the family ritual, get the family together, make some girls watching church. Pops, I love you. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for loving me.

Thank you for inspiring. I've looked up to you and admired you outside of you just being my father, just you being just a great human being, a kind of human being. I love how you inspire me to keep going. To never stop following my pain, just always believing themselves. I wanted to tell you how much I love you, how much I care for you, thank you for being so supportive.

We love you. We love you. We need to get my memories of you, just why thank you, bro, do for us. In order for me to get into heaven, I'm not going to get in there. Well, come on in heaven, you had 20 hit records. That don't mean nothing. They're going to say, oh, come on in heaven, you was a nice person. I love you. I love you so much.

I love you so much. I love you so much. the baby love part always gets you yeah so in that video you see there's like you know a part that talks about kim porter and her passing away and it's you know just to humanize him a bit to the judge and to the court but the letter that did he submitted was four pages and i highlighted it's it's pretty lengthy but i highlighted some important parts uh so in the beginning of letter he takes accountability did he takes accountability for everything he's done he says i want to apologize and say i'm sincerely sorry for all that i have hurt in the pain that i've caused others by my conduct

I take full responsibility and accountability for my past wrongs. This has been the hardest two years of my life. I have no one to blame for my current reality and situation, but myself. In my life, I've made many mistakes, but I'm not any longer running from them. Then he talks about the Cassie video. He says, the scene and images of me assaulting Cassie play over and over in my head daily. I literally lost my mind. I was dead wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved.

I honestly felt sorry. I honestly feel sorry for something that I couldn't forgive someone else for if they put their hands on my daughters. This is why it's so hard for me to forgive myself. It was like a deep wound that leaves an ugly scar. Then he mentions Jane Doe, who also testified and was one of his former girlfriends. And he says that he thought that he was helping her, her child. But after hearing her testimony, he realized he hurt her and he apologizes for that. You know, he also talks about there's been times in jail where he felt like he was better off dead.

The car accident you didn't want to see but couldn't turn away from. In this episode, I discussed personal safety and self-defense, tools, instincts, and strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in everyday life and high-risk situations. Listen to intentionally disturbing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A second chance at life, so he's asking a judge for that. He also reveals in this letter that his mom had a brain surgery throughout this whole process. But she's been there supporting him every day in court, and he wants to get home to be her caretaker and get back home to his children. and he's just asking the judge for a second chance in this letter I pray folks is learning from this situation I don't care how much money you got how much success and fame you have

if you're not moving right it will catch up and trouble is easy to get into and hard to get out of and it is very important to be disciplined and focused in that video that played with all his family those are the people you should be thinking about

every day because when you aren't moving to where you should be moving those are going to be the people impacted the most when you crash you're absolutely right the only thing I would say a, and this is the one thing that bothers me, right? Diddy has

done some treacherous and some nasty things to, we've seen on video to women and we've seen that. My only thing is, and I'm not saying that what Diddy did wasn't right, is he's being convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution, right? That's what his charges are, right? So that's what he

should be judged on those charges. That's the conversation. That's what the law says, right? And I hate the fact that everybody puts everything else around him. But the only thing that we should be focused on today is what his charges are. But you do know those charges are still carrying 20 years. I know.

But that's what we should be focused on. Like even his apology, I apologize for hitting Cassie and all that. Yes, you should have did that a long time ago, but the charges is what he should be is what he's facing today. Yes, but those charges still carry 20 years. I know that. So you got to do all. He got to do everything that he's doing

right now. Yeah. I know that. Yeah, especially because a lot of it too, I mean, I hear what you're saying, but people forget that a lot of it is these women are saying that the reason why they were able to even be somewhere where people could fly in and have sexes because they were fearing for their lives and that fearing for the lie goes back to the narrative

around all of the beatings of the women and all those things I understand that completely but he's being charged with prostitution and engaging in prostitution and that's what his charges should be and that's what the judge should be looking at but they, Cassie, keep writing letters too you know what I'm saying? So you think the judge's not going to take that into account too although the charges are not for that

she's writing the letter saying she's having nightmares every night and she's fair for her family you know what I'm saying so he he got a count and he knows and his team knows that they're not looking at him just for rubbing semen on his nipples no I mean but that's a thing too they got these two sex doctors that they're trying to get to be able to speak in court that'll say did he has his sexual like urges and all that together because that's a that's a part

of it there's a sex addiction who did that back in the day somebody who was somebody there was Eric Bonae did he do that with Hallibarion said that was the reason he cheated something like that now I want to I think I want to read one letter that I don't this wasn't submitted to the judge but it surfaced yesterday 50 cent posted a letter oh boy he said their judge submarine I probably said that name wrong I have an ongoing

dispute with Puffy for over 20 years he's very dangerous multiple times I fear for my life I think you should consider the safety of the general public your honor before unleashing him upon them there hasn't been enough time for him to reform or make any adjustments despite him trying to teach a class there. As you already aware, the government has been, he goes into that. Anyway,

Did he only going, Did he's only going to return to hiring more male sex workers and keeping most of the baby oil away from the general public. And babies need it. My Netflix doc on his scandalous subject is coming soon. 50 play too much. It has been very serious all day and he posted that. Crazy. Yes.

I think he submitted it? I mean, put it online. It was a text bubble, so you know. I'll tell you one thing. Days like the day are interesting too because he really shows how fickle the timeline is because depending on what the sentencing is. Yes. Everything that's trending online now is going to change. Yes. Immediately. Oh.

Like immediately. I think it's going to change regardless depending on the whole thing at 10 o'clock is going to be Diddy. Yes. Oh yeah. It's already starting. Last night, it felt like that. Like it felt like they were calling it sentencing Eve and that was like trending yesterday. So everything in every post, all the outlets, all the headlines were about Diddy and something

leading into the sentencing. I mean, Lauren went and got a custom-made outfit for it. Too-sha. First of all, the suit was already made, I just went and got it. I walked into my purpose. I didn't go get it made. The purpose was there for me. You look like a high raking. As long as it's high ranking, baby. UPS. What can Brown do for you?

With the shoulder pads. All right. All right. That's the latest with Lauren. When we come back, we got some front page news. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ Envi. Just hilarious. Charlemagne de Guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get back to some front page news. Now, Thursday night football.

The 49ers beat the Rams 26-23. Now, Major League Baseball is playoff season. Tigers beat the Guardian 6-3, Cubs beat the Padres 3-1, and the Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-0. Now, tonight, game one of the 2025 WMBA finals, I was going to say the Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, take on the Vegas Aces at 8 p.m.

Can't wait. That's what I'll be doing tonight with a nice glass of wine, you know what I'm saying, watching the Las Vegas Aces and Asia Wilson play the Mercury. Hopefully Asia wins. I want to see Asia get her. third ring. And what's up, Mimi?

Good morning, Envy. Jess, Chaldemand. How y'allet? How are you doing? Peace, Mimi. Hey, girl. Good morning. Good morning.

We begin this morning with new details from the Wardier Airport where the NTSB is investigating after two Delta planes collided on a taxiway. Now, officials say the wing of a plane preparing for takeoff struck the nose of a cockpit window and another had just landed. Now, one flight attendant was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, but all passengers got off safely. One plane had just arrived from Charlotte and the other one was waiting to take off to Virginia. Now, air traffic controllers, they had instructed the departing plane to stop and let the other pass, but instead its wing clipped the nose of the arriving aircraft. Now, the crash, it left visible damage. It shattered windscreen and a bent wing. Passengers described a sudden jolt like slamming on your brakes before the impact. Now, Delta has apologized. They offered hotel rooms, meal vouchers, and says it's working closely with investigators. But the collision happened on the first day of the government shutdown

and with nearly a quarter of the FAA's workforce furloughed and hiring for new air traffic controllers on hold. Many have a lot of questions. It is too soon to know if staffing played a role, but timing underscores just how fragile the aviation system already is. So the NTSB is investigating, and they will look into all of that and see what caused it. you know, we've been talking a lot about the airport system

and air traffic controllers and what that may look like going forward. It's a really scary time. Very scary. Now, see, I don't like to hear stories like that because in my mind, as you just said, Mimi, we know that many essential airport workers aren't getting paid. So what type of morale does that give you when you come to work? Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, do you really come there wanting to do your best job knowing that you ain't getting your check? Yeah, exactly. Which is very crazy because we feel. fly so much and you think something like this would obviously be me taking care of. They were on the ground. It wasn't like they were on the air. They were on the ground. My dad going to text

me. How can you be on the air? In the air, I mean, my dad going to text me, oh, that's why I don't fly. No, that's not the reason you don't fly. But they were on the ground. And usually on the ground you would see more and more people. You could see it easier than in the air. And they called it a slow speed crash. Not even, you know, they have high speed crashes.

They call it a slow speed crash. They didn't understand why they didn't see each other. So they will investigate and we'll keep following that story. And more and more Americans say the biggest threat to the country isn't coming from abroad or even the economy. You might have guessed this. It's coming from each other. So a New New York Times poll, a CNN poll, finds polarization, is now seen as the second biggest problem facing the country right behind the economy.

And experts say social media may be the main reason that divide feels so sharp. So apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X, they're built to keep us scrolling. and those posts that grab us the fastest are the ones that push our buttons. It's called rage bait, content that is designed to spark outrage and get people arguing in the comments. And some creators even admit their biggest videos are the ones that stir up controversy. And the algorithms, they reward that outrage. The more emotional the posts, the more likely you are to click, share, and keep watching. That's why the most hostile partisan content often rises to the top of your feed.

years ago, an internal Facebook memo even admitted that its system, quote, exploits our brain's attraction to divisiveness. And critics say that these platforms know exactly what they're doing, arguing that rage is even more powerful than sex when it comes to keeping us online. And the numbers, they back that up. They show just how big this divide is. 81% of Democrats now say that Republicans are a serious threat to the country, and nearly 70% of Republicans say the same about Democrats. And as one expert put it, if America were a horror movie, the call is coming from inside the house. Rage is more powerful than sex. They're having sex with the wrong people then, okay?

Because there ain't nothing like being on your phone and then your wife come in there looking all right. And you're like, you know, let me put this phone down and, you know what I'm saying, turn to get to doing what adults you should be doing. Okay? You want to be tweeting. You want to tweet when you could skeet. you know what I'm going to be on the ground when you can be in some yams what's up with y'all man

yep you want to screw why you can ride this pool you know what I'm saying you know what I'm saying that is hilarious but it's a real thing rage bay and so much of it is happening right now because the government shut down

and the hate speech we're seeing it so much and so apparently according to this new poll Charlemagne rage is a bigger divisive issue where it keeps more people glued to their green than sex. Oh, that's insane. Yeah, that's insane. Y'all having sex with the wrong people. But yes, I do agree. The low vibrational n*** nonsense is what I call it. And, you know, we always say

nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. But I promise you, if you just turn your phone off, that ain't the real world. Like that, like the, yes, when you turn this phone on, it do feel like the sky is falling. Everything is all disruptive. People are in disarray. Folks hate each other. But soon as you turn your phone off and just come up to air and get back to your real world, I don't feel that. Not at all. Not at all. And, Envy, this one is for you, right? We were talking about good news.

So speaking of the power of media, one of the most influential black news sites is making headlines this morning. The route is returning to black ownership for the first time in year. So Ashley Allison, a political strategist and CNN commentator is buying the outlet from geo-media.

It's a private equity firm that's owned the site since 2019. Now, Ashley says this isn't about publishing more stories is about making sense of the moment when journalism is under attack and people are looking for trusted independent voices. Now through her new company, watering whole media, Allison plans to grow the route with more video, new partnerships, and even live events for readers. The route was launched in 2008 by Henry Lewis Gates Jr. and Washington Post chairman Donald Graham as a modern day national black newspaper. And now the route

has changed. It's changed hands a few times with different owners, but now Allison says it's coming back with the very mission that has started with preserving culture and telling black stories with clarity and purpose. Well, salute to Ashley, man, dropping the clues bonds for Ashley. Absolutely. I do wish I would have known it was for sale, though. I would have definitely went in with Ashley and invested in that because I don't like the route.

So I would have loved to be an owner with them so I could fire some of those people who I feel have wrote a lot of rage, baby stories about myself and people that I love. I would have loved. I would have loved to be an owner in the root. I would have loved for y'all to get that news this morning, just so I could fire some of y'all. Okay, but I will support Ashley and what she does because I think Ashley is an amazing personality on CNN,

and I think she's going to bring a lot of integrity back to the route. I agree. All right. Well, thank you, Mimi. All right, well, that's your front-page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more news stories, follow Black Information Network.

And we're going to talk to her next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Oh, and don't forget, today is Friday, man.

So, you know, on Friday, we do the People's Donkey. So if there's somebody out there that you want to give the credit they deserve for being stupid, call us right now. 1-800-585-105-1. You can call up here and give somebody donkey today on this fine Friday. All right? It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody, it's D-E-J-N-V, Jess O'Larious. Charlemagne McIre.

We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Taylor-Poldair Williams. That's your middle name, right? No. Is it Polador? Polydor.

That's what she told me, Palador Williams. Welcome. How are you doing? Thank you. I'm good. Beauty and Black Season 2. Yes. How does it feel?

Like, all it is, look, because I'm going to watch it since episode one. Okay. How does it feel to have it continue? Because, you know, a lot of shows live for one. season, two seasons, how does it feel to have it continuing? You know, I feel very grateful. I think when you're able to have a second season,

that's one thing. But then to have a second season and the fan base continue to grow and people are excited. Even bigger. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm grateful, but I'm excited. It's been fun. I'm just enjoying it. Has life changed? Because, you know, Beauty and Black is on Netflix. It's a big show.

Like, have you felt the change? Yeah, actually. I think season one, that I was kind of in denial, but it's like, you know, this might be a moment. It passes. I've been acting since I was 13, so it's like, okay, enjoy it. But then this

season, it does feel different. The visibility that I have is different places that I go. It's no longer like, oh, you're familiar. It's like, Kimmy! And they're hugging, and it's like, woo, I'm not used to that. Having to kind of move a little bit different, but I think

I always thought it would happen. You know, if you keep acting in a show, as popular, it would happen, but nothing can really prepare you for that shift. Yeah. I want to go back if you don't mind. So you're from Houston, Texas. Yes. And you got into acting at a young age. You said 13. What made you

like the arts? What made you love the arts? I think I've always been creative. As a kid, I like playing and pretend, who doesn't. But it was my first movie that I was in. I was auditioning at the time after Katrina the tax credits came to Louisiana.

So it brought a lot of films to the South. And Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins was being filmed there. I got a part. And I loved acting, but when I got on the set and saw the sound stages and the crew and like what it takes to actually make a movie, I was like, oh, I just want to do this for the rest of my life. And I just kept going. Yeah. Because you produced too, right? I do. So what have you learned about and right? So what have you learned about yourself as an artist wearing all those different hats, producing, acting, writing. The biggest thing is that I cannot do them all by myself.

I know that there are people who are experts in what they do, who love writing, and I honor whatever people love the most. And I think that's why I like producing, because it's like I can pick and choose, oh, you're fire at this. Let's all come together and putting it all together is the fun part for me. Now, what I want to ask you about the show is, right? Because like I said,

I've been watching since the first episode. Do you have a look at this script, right, and be like, all right, this is fucking. Come on, Ty. Come on. Absolutely.

She must look at it all the time like that. All the time. I think when we were getting ready for season two

and Tyler was like sending us the scripts at a full clip like it's like we're getting two episodes in a day. It's like

dang, what are you doing? And he's sending these scripts and I'm reading it genuinely like, oh my God. It's crazy.

It keeps you on your toes. It's as fun to film it probably more fun to film it than it is to watch it. And your character in the beginning, you start off shy. You're not sad enough for yourself.

You're pissing me off. I was like, Kimmy, get your shit together. These people coming for you. And then you just turn into a natural born kill-bill character. You're just out here, you know? Now, what is your ritual to get ready for that? Because it seemed like it didn't really take much,

I guess, to be shy. Is that your real demeanor? Like, are you shy? You don't really talk a lot? No. Okay. I wouldn't say that I'm, just the most talkative person

in the world, I'm more reserved, but it's not because I'm shy. I'm just more observant. But to not stand up for yourself is very different for me. And that was actually a process when we went in for the callbacks. I was having a conversation

with Tyler, he was like, I know you could do strong because we worked together before. He was like, but can I see you do this? And I was like, I mean, yeah, of course I can try the vulnerability part. But I was like, but do I want to do that. Like, why can't she do this? He was like, if you just trust me with the story,

it's going to go somewhere that that no one is going to expect this. She's going to be a boss. And I was like, okay, okay, well, I could do the victim thing. I could figure that out. So he challenged you. Yeah, absolutely. Because I I'm not a person that backs down from confrontation or

if somebody's doing me wrong, you will know that you've done me wrong. So with Kimmy, I was frustrated too, but I think that propelled the story even more. So now in season two, it's warranted. Yeah. How did you get into, like, Tyler Perry's universe because you were in divorce and black? Mm-hmm.

And now you're here with the, you know, with the beauty in black. Like, how did you, how did that happen for you? You know, it's funny, I went to school in Atlanta, knowing that I wanted to act. I went to Clark Atlanta University. And I just knew I was going to be in something Tyler Perry in school. And that didn't happen. I went school, came, went, moved to L.A. And it was just an audition, a normal audition for a different film that he was doing.

and I went into the callback and typically at a callback they'll tell you the director, the writer will be in the room they didn't say that. I thought it was just going to be Kim Coleman. So I walk in and Tyler Perry's right there and he's like, hey Taylor, come on in and I was like, what are you doing

here, Tyler? But I didn't say that. I was very professional and I did it. He was like, I only want to see the first scene. I already saw your second scene on the tape. Go. And I like took a breath and I did it and he was like, where are you from? I was like, I'm from Texas and he was like, let me see the second

scene. And I was like, I don't know what just happened, but I got it. And I ended up getting divorcing the black. It was a different movie. They were like, we want to keep you on hold for this one, but are you open to reading another film? And I was like, sure. And I thought that he was going to ask me to do an audition for that one. They said, if you wanted it, sure. Is it pressure when you see somebody like Tyler walking in the room? Do you have to gather yourself a little bit? Is it different? Yes. It is different because I respect him a lot. I'm very inspired by how he moves, just all that he's built. So you do have to take a minute and kind of breathe, I think, when it's somebody you admire.

But you snap right into it, or did you stutter? Did you mess up with first time? You said, I didn't do it. I got that part. I didn't stuttered, but I did after. I was like, what? Yeah, yeah. How long did it take y'all to film The Voice in the Black?

I know that's the movie. That was my joint, too. But how long did it take y'all to film that? It took us six days. To film the whole movie. To film the whole movie. Because you know, it's always out there that Tyler Pry be having. He'll start at 9 a.m.

And y'all be done at 10 a. We shot season two of Beauty and Black, all 16 episodes in 12 days. Jesus. Do you like filming like that? Like fast get it out the way? Or do you prefer a little time to breathe, a little time to rest to reset? Or do you just knock it out? Well, show had time to think about it.

Maybe you know what I'm talking about the time she has an opinion. I'm adaptable. working with different directors working on different shows, different whatever it's kind of like coming into somebody else's house if this is how y'all do it, cool, I'll assimilate. How long of those days? 12 hours.

Yeah, we don't go over. No, it's not bad. And then you're done. Yeah. So he just pretty much just count on y'all knowing your lines because that's pretty much you know, all the retakes and cut and do it again. Y'all don't have none of that.

No. I mean, very sparingly, if he said, can I please get one more? He'll be like, yes, depending on who you are. So he told people before, no. Like, can I get him online? No. Yeah, sometimes.

Or even with some of us, with the wonderful, wonderful cast, everybody. He'll be like, can I get one more? He's like, I got it. No, I got it. You just got to trust. What role of project has challenged you the most and why? Definitely, beauty and black. Okay.

The sheer speed at which we're filming it. and then also particularly in the first season being somebody who is playing somebody who is sex traffic somebody who is so beaten down the things at the time I was planning my wedding so it was like I don't have this life experience but I have to go there every day scene after scene

scene after scene it was like for a whole week I'm just crying in every scene getting beat up it was it was a lot but it stretched me as an artist knowing that I can do that. If somebody says, cry right now, I can do that. If you need me to do that, I can go there and jump back into what I have to do in my normal life and stay sane.

How did your now husband deal with it? Because you were in a role and I'm sure you were in a character. I'm sure it wasn't, you're planning a wedding. It's supposed to be happy, joyous, but now you're diving into this character. So how did he handle that? Oh, like a champ. He is a surgery resident right now, which is a very grueling schedule as well. So I think it was a lot of mutual respect

If I got home before him Or if he got home before me He'd make dinner If I got home I bring him dinner from set It's just like we're in the trenches together So he actually loved how rigorous the schedule is Because sometimes on other shows You know I might do a couple scenes

It's you know We're not doing surgery We're not dealing with life or death Even on a difficult day It's still a blessing to be there I thought he was a surgical resident He is I'm saying what I do Oh, so how he got time to cook?

He's a good man. I know that's a bit. I don't know what Taylor said. Telling said she cooked. She said, I'll take some home, some extra food. She said, she said, I get no doggy back and you're saying. I cook, I'm tired. No, no, no.

I learned how to cook a few years ago. You from Texas and didn't know how to cook? He ever bring anything home from work like lunch? You'll bring you a snack. Oh, okay. You bring you snacks, drinks and stuff, candy. Okay. Yeah.

Well, congratulations. You got made. Thank you. Thank you. That's what's up. No, I was asking you, going back to my question. How do you get ready? No, I don't want you out.

Excuse me. No, I know. All the time. Snacks. I don't like seeing anything from his job. Yeah. Oh, so he do be bringing stuff on? He'll come in with blood all over.

Oh, yeah. Showing something like an eyeball. He can't come in with an eyeball. No, no organs are brought into the home. No, you said you got to cry. You have to cry a lot on. that and everything like that. How do you get into that?

I know it's nothing other than you being a great actress, right? But like, how do you get ready for that? Like, what's your ritual to go into that role when things start going crazy for you on the show when they get crazier for you? Yeah. Definitely the preparation before filming,

I think it's a treat. Because we shoot so fast, Tyler gives us all of the scripts for the season. And that's typically not... We typically don't have that on a... a different type of TV show. So I'm able to kind of prepare for it like a movie. I know exactly where I am.

A lot of notes on my personal script, so I know where to dive in because we're shooting out of order. And also the wonderful team at TPS. The crew is phenomenal. From wardrobe to the script supervisors. We have readers. People will help us kind of get on track

to know where we are, but the work that I do before can get me into the mode. And then I love music too, so I have playlists and songs and different things. to help you said something earlier too you said uh you know it helps you to stay sane what do you do to stay i have a great therapist yes very important number one um and i think i'm overall a pretty

even person um so just continuing to stay grounded and on my feet if i know i'm getting overwhelmed i'll take a second to breathe um i meditate daily i meditate um onset if i have a break every morning I have the same routine I listen to jazz I get my green tea like just trying to control as much as I can and sometimes a chaotic environment and then coming out of that

when we rap I'm done with Kimmy I'm done with whatever character I'm playing and I have my own playlist of my own music that's like brings me back I wish I got to talk to people who were like on days of our lives and guiding light and all those shows back in the day

because I wonder if the process was the same for them as it is for y'all those shows used to come on daily so I'm sure they used to tape a lot and I know that y'all think Tyler got a lot of traumatic them shows had some wild-ass storyline like people were getting buried alive people were getting possessed by demons

I just wonder if they had to if they ever could even decompress at least y'all get the opportunity I wonder if they ever did I mean I think it's somewhat similar to us they're shooting a lot of scenes in one day shout out to Debbie Morgan

because she came from that world I mean, she's been on everything. But it was just the job. I think they probably handle it the way that we do. Because y'all know y'all are the new stories. I tell me with that all the time. Tyler Perry stuff, that's the new stories. Like our grandparents, you'd be like, I'm going to watch my story.

That's what you're new stories. Yeah, people are invested. Do you laugh at some of the fight scenes sometimes? Because those are the things I feel like they go all over the Internet. Absolutely. The back and forth, the one-liners, the actual fighting, those might be the most. difficult to stay in character because

you got to laugh. Yes, like as a cast, we all are people that really like each other. We enjoy being at work. We enjoy and have a great time together. And there's very little levity and love in every scene that we do. I don't know how y'all take it serious. I don't know what show it was. That one

scene when the two dudes getting the fight and one do hit and he spin like three times. Yeah, he spent all right. That wasn't that. That's a lot of beauty and black. I said it wasn't that one, but it's a Tyler Perry one. But his fight scenes are always classic. Which one is that? he'd just be spinning. I don't know.

I don't know. You know what they got sisters. Maybe that was brothers. But look, the funniest scene was when, well, first of all, no, who laughed when Varney kept saying, I'm your bitch? I mean, who laughed? So, you know. Because I would get fired that day.

I'm not going to lie. That one and out the fruitcake line? Then I heard a fruit cake. I'm like, jeez. Yeah, yeah, fruitcake, yeah. I read all of the scripts. Yes. But then I just focus on what I have to do because it's, it's a lot.

so I forgot that that was even a thing until I was watching it so I'm watching it like everybody else does and I'm like what is going on and I think they actually got a little heated like they had to take a step back Roy and Varney yeah I think I saw Julian or Terrell talk about that

I'm sorry yeah that is their real names I'm talking about Roy and Vaughney okay so they had to take a beat yeah damn yeah it's very it's very intense Some, a lot of them are, a lot of the scenes are very intense, I would say. I know you talk about how different your real life is from Kimmy's, but what did you learn about surviving versus living,

like actually living from Kimmy's character? That's a good question. I think I've always known or been informed about trauma responses, being in therapy and also being an advocate for youth in foster care, certain training that I have to go through or had to go through, I understand how people react and respond to certain things. But I think what Kimmy taught me is just a little bit more empathy for the decisions that people make because that's the work of an actor is justifying what somebody is doing and making it real.

I have to make it real to me to play it. So I was asking myself, like, why would she, why would she not just leave? Why would she not do this? Right. And she's trying to survive. That's exactly it. So the stakes that people go through to simply try to survive on top of the things that they've already been through. And I think it made me very appreciative and very empathetic for the things that, the decisions that people make.

It doesn't necessarily make them right. But, like, if we know everybody's story, you can probably rationalize it a little bit. When you got the script, was there ever a moment and you were like, oh, hell no, when you read something like, nah, this is not it. When you'd be like, let me call Tyler see if we could change this.

You ain't got to answer that. Don't let him fucking you, you know what I'm saying? You know, like this Tyler Perry villain, this red Tyler Perry villain? I'm just asking, was there ever, you know, reading a script? No, no. No, actually, there were things that I was like,

oh my gosh, this is horrible. Especially in season one, some of the things with Kimmy and Roy. Yeah. Kimmy and Jewels. that dynamic but it was more so questions I need to understand why

why and he's always very open to talk to me about why you said it was kind of hard I'm saying the word victim but you said it was kind of hard to play a I guess a victim like role so as the character as the character evolved was it easier for you to go from victim to vindicated

yeah but I think one it is just easier to play somebody not in that situation I have more life experience as a person who was more empowered. But I think in wanting to protect her, that's why I was having such a difficult time, like, oh my gosh, why is this happening to her? Being able to have that vindication and play that out so soon into the second season is a real treat as an actor, I feel like with a lot of characters that begin one way and

then they grow into this boss, we might see that over like three, four, five seasons. but with her it happened kind of quick so it is fun to be able to do that I do like that I do like that quick turnaround of character development and that's cool I was gonna ask you know

you spoke about it earlier you haven't help on setting people talking to you got into the script but I always wonder is it easy to talk to like a human traffic of victim before to get their feeling to get their mindset of why and how and when because I'm sure from your side

you don't understand because you've never been in that situation so it's easy to you know find that out Is that something that you've done when it came to these roles? Yeah. Because I was having a difficult time understanding why not just leave. I would rather be dead than deal with that. I would, but that's not Kimmy.

So I did speak to somebody that had been through a situation like that. And a lot of times people, trafficking, I think, is a very formal word to describe what can happen to people and they don't even know until they're trying to get out of it. so doing research online YouTube is a great resource just trying to understand the mindset not only of how you got in the situation why you stayed in it but what did it take to get out

and that's the real resiliency obviously Kimmy is in a fictional world and the sugar daddy with no sugar came and took her out which is some but for a lot of people that is a mindset shift that needed a lot of help a lot of support a lot of work

to get out of that lifestyle did you understand it more after having those conversations and doing that research? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. How was it received by the person, though? Because that's a person's real life

and you're talking to them, you know, trying to get, I guess, game for a role. How did they receive you even asking them in question? Oh, I already knew her. Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you. I already knew her. And she was open because she's past that now. But, I mean, it is a,

with that situation, it was like a pimp situation. Greatness doesn't just show up. It's built. One shot, one choice, one moment at a time.

Join me every weekday as I share bite-sized stories of missing and murdered black women and girls in America. There are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women. My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tamika Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people, talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction.

But Tamika never bought the car. And she never returned home that day. One podcast, one mission, save our girls. Join the searches we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered black women and girls. Listen to hunting for answers every weekday on the Black Effect Podcast Network, IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate for is what is going to keep you growing. And that's all that matters. World Mental Health Day is around the corner.

And on my podcast, Just Heal with Dr. Jay, I dive into what it really means to care for your mind, body, and spirit. From breaking generational patterns to building emotional capacity. Healing is a journey and wholeness is the destination. I'm going to walk away feeling very healed and feeling like, yes, I'm going to continue my healing journey and I'm going to get some keys from you. Listen to Jess Hilbert, Dr. Jay, from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Do you want to hear the secrets of serial killers, psychopaths, pedophiles, robbers?

They are sitting there waiting for the vulnerable thing. They're waiting for the unprotected. I'm Dr. Leslie, forensic psychologist. I advocate for safety and aware. of predators while wearing pink. When you were described to me as a forensic psychologist, I was like snooze. We ended up talking for hours and I was like, this girl is my best friend. This is a podcast where I cut through the noise with sarcasm, satire, and hard truths. I am not going to fake it and force it for me. Would you force an orgasm?

Because that's like a different layer. The car accident you didn't want to see but couldn't turn away from. In this episode, I discussed personal safety and self-defense, tools, instincts, and strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in everyday life and high-risk situations. Listen to intentionally disturbing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Necessarily human trafficking when you're thinking somebody's being kidnapped and whatever. But she was open. I think to get out of that, most survivors not would be open to be exploited, but to share that story.

especially if they made it out. Yeah. Have you had other women that are currently going through that or that have recently gotten out of those situations reach out to you? And like, is that a heavy weight? Yes. On social media, they have particularly more so in first season than this season. And again, as an advocate, I just want to help everybody.

I try to, like, connect people to resources or if you can't text or you can't do something, then I could text for you. and then people I wouldn't hear from them or whatever. So that is difficult, but I just pray for him. Now, if you knew somebody, right, that wanted to be on the show, like one of your friends, and being as old, you'd be around Tyler, and I know he always looking for new actors and stuff, you know. How would you pitch to him,

I got this girl who wanted to be on the show? Is that something that you would do? What are you going from? What's you from? I don't know. You got friends all over the place? Baltimore. For example.

Say he is looking for somebody else, you know, to be a stripper, really good at that. How would you say, yo, Tyler, I got this girl. Does he allow for conversations like that? She speaks well, very outspoken, funny. Yeah, he's very collaborative. I might be looking at the scripts, maybe a new season or something, like, wow, there's a character. I know somebody that would be great. And I would make a great traffic person.

Like, I would be, I would be, I would be a great traffic person. I would kill it. I would kill it. Just let me know. Just let me know. Like, you know, go ahead, you know, slab and a little, you know, Jess has been auditioning. Yes.

Oh, wow. Yes. You never got back to her. So just, you know, hit him and Kim. That was a great pitch. Period. They'll get him. They'll get you in here.

Okay, cool. I just, just tell him. Yeah. Tell us like, who put that on me. I don't watch his interview. That's great. Oh, he'll get you in there. Thank you, Kimmy.

I believe that. Thank you so much. I love Beauty and Black. I'm invested in the show. I'm not just saying it so you can go ahead and tell Tyler give me wrong. I really do love Beauty and Black. I'd be in here telling them about it all the time. Never heard you talk about it.

This is lying. Taylor, he is lying. The one scene that you all kept talking about with the gay guys, remember. It was something about a butt member. You kept something about a butt. Oh, I remember. That's my favorite. That's my favorite.

He kept talking about the butt. The gay man's butt. That's all he was right. My God, he's so funny. Charles, Charles, that was funny as hell to me. That was the beauty and black? That scene? That was a fruitcake one, right?

No, that was, when he dropped his pants and said, I know he was, I know you're going to miss his ass. When you're talking to Barney? Yes, that's a green and black. Oh, I love, Charles. That's the one. That's what got him watching. He wanted to bring him out of everything, like that. You got to watch him.

So you're trying to be on it, too. Yeah. No. He went to that. That is the boy he wanted. That's the part he tried out for them. That was a beauty and black, y'all. That was definitely.

Beauty and Black. Oh, you was in the script club with... But then she got... That's her. Not you just realized the whole time. 20 minutes then. You got to talk about the gay scenes first. If you guys came in here and talked about the gay scenes first, he would have been... I watched a lot of Tyler praise up, but it's all a blur. I'm like, damn.

That was last year. I ain't watched it in the year. You got to watch the new season. Yeah. Well, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you, Taylor. Thanks for having me. I want to say, yeah, what's the middle name one more time? Okay. Polyore. Taylor, Palladale Williams.

Thank you so much. I keep saying Palladown. Palladador. I'm sorry. Pallador. Just all you guys read it and say it. Pallador. The way of your career is going,

it's going to be a time but he's never going to forget your name. That's what I see that. And you make sure you forget his. I won't. She don't even know it now. I won't. Yes, I do.

Thank you. What did I say? His name. DJ N. Oh, okay. What school does she go? What HBCU? It doesn't even matter.

Nobody went to that school. No. Why did she know that? Delaware State University because she went to one She's K-K-A. And I know you did. Where he go? Hampton.

There you go. I know that's right. I remember that. That's what's up. Thank you again. Don't look over there. I ain't go to college, Kimmy. Don't look over there.

Don't go to go ahead. Kimby was like, no. There's nothing to know. You're going to stop down playing Brooklyn Community College. Y'all, I'm never with us. Baltimore. She got her associates.

Leave her low. It's the breakfast club. Come on. I'm sorry, Taylor. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalamey and Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fact. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa.

Sometimes she has facts. Sometimes she has details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest. On the breakfast club. Talk to me. All righty y'all. So we've been talking about getting a booth, get in the booth, get in the booth.

And JT dropped a disc record. Towards Cardi B, let's take a listen to part one. She mentioned Stefan Dix. Yeah, so that was part one. So y'all hear her coming first. Stefan Diggs. Any response? Yeah, I got more.

Y'all need to hear some more. I'm glad J.T. is rapping. I didn't like it. Yeah, it did. Yeah. And, you know, I love, I like JT. I like JT, but that wasn't. That wasn't it, man.

I don't know if it, maybe if she would have put that out immediately instead of doing all of the tweets and everything else, it might have hit a little different, but after a week of all them tweets and the, you know, the Instagram live to come with that, it's like, you could have came a little harder to. I feel like it was rushed.

I don't know. It just, I don't know. She could have came hard as you. You could have came hard at Jake. Yeah, I mean, I... Remember when all them people try jump into Kendrick and Drake Beef, like when Rick Ross jumped in,

and nobody paid into my eye, and when, you know, other people try to, even when Joey, Joey Baddaz jumped out there and nobody really, you know, paid them no mind. I mean, the, you know, other people did, but not the main people that they wanted to... Yeah.

I feel like that's what this is a little bit. But if she would have did it, if she did it... Cardi might not say nothing. But if she did it right after Magnet, right? Like Cardi dropped Magnet and then if JT would have came right back out, no tweets, no Instagram live, just right in the booth, I think it might have hit a little different. Well, Cardi responded via X and she just...

Because JT was talking about, you know, Cardi B having a writer, talking about partisan Fontaine, and Cardi B yeah, and Cardi reposted an alleged DM between JT and party, and J.T. is telling party, if this is a real DM, she posted, JT. is telling

party, like, she wants to get in the studio with him, so Cardi's like, you try and be funny, but you obviously need my writer, and then she posted, but anyway, go scream, go stream Magnet, which is a song where she came at, at JT, and she reposted somebody's tweet that said, tell her to make a

hit, she in the studio just wasting time. So Cardi is like, uh, whatever. She's saying it's lack of less time. Yeah, it's like, I'm, I'm not even, that's not even worth me of responding to. Like, it's not. And then, like, like shall I say, yeah, if she did it right after magnet drop, you know, right after I'm out of drama dropped, it would have been better and saved all the tweets.

You already gave us all your ammo. Yeah. And she was going to say online for three days. Maybe that's what they mean. That was it. Yeah. And then, you know, you know, I'm a person that waves J.T. right like j t is dope so now i gotta hear people be like yeah hey you told her she was dope

yes yes yes was on you this morning yeah no i'm a j t you've been singing the praises at lauren not you i'm charlemagne he talk about j t like she glorilla no i don't but j t dope though j t j t can rap i don't know i just like this record but she's the first time that i've heard something rat-wise from her where i was like i didn't think it was because you were anticipating it that's why i was anticipating it i thought it just dropped right after magnet i think i I think we'd have been looking at this a little bit different but now after a week and it's just like I don't know JT you could have came harder

yeah that's all well and uh yeah well just not came at all like just you just damn and I'm gonna say something else it's so it's funny how one verse can mess up the game the person that they say isn't the lyrical one Cardi is the one that got all everybody losing their mind with a verse

with nothing but lyric they got everybody losing their mind Whoever pin is, it got people in the frenzy right now. Oh, my God. Well, running around crazy. And that's why the album title got the best name. Yeah, I'm out of drama. Because obviously she is.

Yeah. Now, I got another song here. Clarissa Shields. You guys know she's been working on music. Whoa, that is what I want to hear. I already know it's really be some straight bars. What's up? I didn't hear this shit.

Yes. Yeah, so Clarissa has a new song that is dropping today. She sent it over to us. And this song is featuring a girl named Tati Camille. She told me that that's another. artist from Flint. Stop playing with you. Hold up now.

Clarissa makes me want to square up real quick. Okay, Clarissa. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Okay. Now, I'm going to tell y'all something. That's the difference between having the right rap coach. That is why you need A&Rs.

You need people because I know PAP was in the studio coaching her making sure that she came correct. But you know, the foot of here. That whole thing sounds good. Like the beat sounds. sounds good. She's sound in pocket. The bars is hitting. I asked her, I'm like, what was your process? Because, you know, we all know, Papoose is, Papoose gets busy. What's the process? How does this work? She said, she says she's been working

on music for a long time. She's been perfecting it for a long time. She just hasn't put it out because it's a little nerve-wracking for her. And she felt like it needed to be the right time. And she was confident about this song. So I think, too, what you're hearing is her practicing and doing it over and over again until she felt like it was good. And you know what else we didn't have? What? No expectation. I wasn't anticipating anything You know what I'm saying?

She's playing with house money That's the difference When you don't have no expectation When there's no anticipation You just hear and you're just like, oh Right That's okay Clarissa Clarissa gonna perform that on her next fight

You know she's gonna perform As she come out on the ring And then she's gonna fight Yes That's smart And I like how she talked about her accolades She's not coming in a bite Like she's talking about her

She's talking about her Yes Straight up her What she said No kids, five houses Four cars You know what I'm saying? 90,000 on the wrist.

Something, miss a knocker, child. This is always go viral. Okay. Clarissa, I got to give it up. I'm only going to call balls and strikes here, people. That was hard. She also worked with an artist named Bree Bias, too, from Atlanta that she wanted to mention as well.

And she said that this is all going to be on an album called Polk the Quote, but she's working on that album. This is just like one of the projects that will be on there. Polka, whoa. Yeah. I don't like it. I like it. I like it.

Whoa, but I like it. My lad is the latest with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. I'll see you guys. Monday. You're on your way to court? I am.

So you're going to text us when as soon as you hear something we need to know. Yes. And good luck today in court because I know course going to be crazy. It will be.

Now, earlier, Mimi Brown was doing front-page news and she gave us this little bit of information. So a New York Times poll, a Sienna poll, finds polarization is now seen as the second biggest problem facing the country right behind the economy. And experts say social media may be the main reason that divide feels so sharp.

So apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X, they're built to keep us scrolling, and those posts that grab us the fastest are the ones that push our buttons. It's called rage bait, content that is designed to spark outrage and get people arguing in the comments. And some creators even admit their biggest videos

are the ones that stir up controversy. And the algorithms, they reward that outrage. The more emotional the posts, the more likely you are to click, share, and keep watching. That's why the most hostile, partisan content often rises to the top of your feed. And critics say that these platforms

know exactly what they're doing, arguing that rage is even more powerful than sex when it comes to keeping us online. So it got me to thinking, y'all really like being on social media more than y'all like having sex? No. That's crazy.

That's crazy. Who y'all having sex with the wrong people? Yeah, yeah, having sex with the wrong people. Yeah. No way. Is there people really like that? No. So what is the question?

Do you like social? media more than sex? Do you like social media more than sex? Would you prefer to be on social media and... Then be on top of somebody? Word. I would think that's like the younger generation. I don't know, because they're so engulfed in the, you know, the internet's in that reality.

But like the internet. I don't know. I don't know. We got to take a poll to see if that's like the age groups or whatever because I don't, I'm not, that's not sitting right with me. That data is not sitting right with me as far as adults go. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-105.1.

Would you prefer to be on Facebook, MySpace, Black Planet? TikTok, Snapchat, other than getting in some pants or panties or whatever you want to call 8505151-1-1-1-0. You just be letting you look at the men and women. Not just me, it's been and women. You just be letting it slip out.

It's been and women. You'd be letting it slip out. It's freaking, freaking Friday. You'd be letting it slip out the crack, literally. Oh, my God. It's the breakfast club. The Breakfast Club. Friday. Goddain.

Hey, look, where am I freaks at? Call in now. 800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Charlemagne de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's Friday. So you know what that means?

It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. And the Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday question comes from our very own Mimi from Front Page News. Mimi Brown. She was talking about how some people prefer the Internet over sex. Let's hear it. So a new New York Times poll, a sienna poll, finds polarization, is now seen as the second biggest problem facing the country right behind the economy. And experts say social media may be the main reason that divide feels so sharp.

So apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X, they're built to keep us scrolling. And those posts that grab us the fastest are the ones that push our buttons. It's called rage bait, content that is designed to spark outrage and get people arguing in the comments. And some creators even admit their biggest videos are the ones that stir up controversy. And the algorithms, they reward that outrage. The more emotional the post, the more likely you are to click, share, and keep watching. That's why the most hostile partisan content often rises to the top of your feed. And critics say that these platforms know exactly what they're doing, arguing that rage is even more powerful than sex when it comes to keeping us online.

So, question 800-585-105-1. you prefer to be online and have sex? I guess we can start with you, Jess? No. Like, what are we talking about? Now, online is, you know, it's fun, it's entertaining, it's whatever, but I know how to put my phone down. I ain't even got to turn it off. I just know how to exit out the apps or whatever and

give my man the attention that he married me for. What do we be talking about? Yeah, I would so rather hop and bounce on our poll than that scroll Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, I agree with Jess. You rather be on a poll. I know that. Hey, I know that. I know that. I know that. The Graham not better than the yams. Hey, the gram not better than the yams. Hey, tweeting not better than skeetting.

Hey. Tweeting not better than skeetin. Hey. Okay, if you prefer social media over sex and you having sex with the wrong person. Eric Badu told y'all a long time ago, I can make you put your phone down, bro. Okay? If you, if you, if you, if you're a lady and you walk in that room and your man on the phone and you, you know, you got that, you got that thing on them lingerie? Oh, you got nothing on?

Oh, you got nothing on? And he's still scrolling? something wrong yeah or he just don't like you no more something wrong oh he liked the other side but yeah i'm with you like did like i like no that that social media i don't need none of that that's why i love last week when i was in greece i wasn't on the phone it was just me and the wife no kids oh my gosh had the best time amazing time ever yeah i don't i don't even understand that especially when she talked about rage baiting like so you would rather be on social media stressing yourself out over what people are saying than doing something that is the ultimate stress relieval you rather be on

social media with a bunch of people, you know, being in a verbally abusive relationship with a bunch of strangers than being with somebody that actually loves you and cares about you and being intimate? Like something's wrong. Something's very wrong. Something's wrong. Very wrong. Well, let's go to the phone line. We have Ashley on the line. Ashley, good morning, Ashley. Good morning. How are you guys? Good morning, Ashley. So talk to us. You rather be on social media making some money than being with a pole or fish, whatever you prefer? What? Sorry. I think it's, I'm not like a streamer, but you have to understand, like, when y'all had DDD come, he said he streams all day, he don't, he's not having sex or whatever.

It's because he's making money. Kai, he sits on the internet all day and makes money. Who? People make money on the first meeting here. Kai also got a girlfriend. And D.D. He don't give her no time. We don't see that.

How are you figuring that? When they're doing something. But how do you know that, though? He's always online. Well, I guess what he does, the mafia. and they stream 30 days straight but he don't do that 365 days in the internet

that's the question you want to spend more time on the internet or have sex but that's actually not true but that's the thing he's not rage baiting though you know what I'm saying people with the statistics

where people like to be online participating in rage baiting that's true that's true what Ka does is very positive well Trump Trump he does

yeah I don't think Trump had no sex yeah I don't think Trump had no yeah I might if he He would be running America You're right You're right I don't think I'm sorry I was thinking

Being online. Oh, social media. Oh, that's right. There you go. Being online participating in rage baiting, though. It's not just social media. Now, if you're just joining us, it's Friday. See, know what that means?

It's freaky, freaky, freaky, freaky Friday. And the freaky, freaky, freaky Friday question comes from Mimi who does front page news, Mimi Brown. And this is what she was talking about this morning. Let's listen. So a new New York Times poll, a Sienna poll, finds polarization, is now seen as the second biggest problem facing the country right behind the economy. And experts say social media may be the main reason that divide feels so sharp. So apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X, they're built to keep us scrolling. And those posts that grab us the fastest are the ones that push our buttons.

It's called rage bait, content that is designed to spark outrage and get people arguing in the comments. And some creators even admit their biggest videos are the ones that stir up controversy. And the algorithms, they reward that outrage. The more emotional the posts, the more likely you are to click, share, and keep watching. That's why the most hostile partisan content often rises to the top of your feed. And critics say that these platforms know exactly what they're doing, arguing that rage is even more powerful than sex when it comes to keeping us online. So 8005185.151, we're asking, would you prefer to be online on social media or in some cheeks? Nah, Erica Badoo told you a long time ago, I can make you put your phone down, man.

I'm telling you, ladies, if you walk in the room and that man is on that phone arguing or, you know, tweeting ferociously, participating in all of the, you know, discussions that are going on. but you walk in that room with some lingerie on or buttnecking and he don't want to have sex with you. He don't like you. He don't like you. Something wrong. Y'all turned off. Something wrong.

Something wrong. But let's go to the phone lines. We got Megan on the line. Megan, good morning. Good morning. Hey, Megan. Talk to us. What's your thoughts?

So I have a lot of thoughts on that. I really feel like the question is oversimplified because there's so many nuances to whether I would rather have sex or be on social media. But to answer that question, I really think it shows more of a bigger issue. Like, of course, it depends on what age you are. Of course, it depends on a lot of different things.

But the question that I heard was rage baiting is more captivating than sexual content. Right. That's saying something. That's saying if somebody's scrolling on Facebook and they see some ass clapping and then they throw some more and they see somebody saying some racist, they're more likely to engage with that racist content than they are to go look at that video. That's true. So they just go to show you.

people be knowing what they're doing and that's kind of scary to think that rage is more powerful than sex because it also depends on your mindset though right if you're open to receiving that type of stuff yeah you're you're going to scroll from the ass clapping and you're going to you're going to you know open up your mind to receive in all that racism me i'm i'm scrolling you know whereas though another person that might that might heighten somebody else senses that might get somebody else intense you know what i mean there's certain things that drives you know handling you know it depends on what you open to you know it's interesting what y'all are saying because what i'm hearing here is that people humans we just want some type of emotional connection

like we always want some type of connection whether it's a good connection whether it's a bad connection and to your point if that rage baiting you know connecting with those people online is a stronger yeah yeah yeah so there's a lot of different nuances to how you can answer that question but to me that opens up a bigger conversation of you know like you said just what type of content you are absorbing intentionally yeah you're right yeah because they are doing it intentionally to get a reaction from you and it and it works and it works is they're getting reaction to people because people are rather a lot of people have rather be online than actually enjoying real life that's right yeah that's right all right well thank you thank you how y'all like

clicks more than cheeks bro clicks more than the clicks money what was you going to run tricks with nothing clicks more than cheeks yeah I mean I couldn't say clicks but I didn't want to no we we know you wasn't we knew what you was going to rhyme but go ahead Jess all right so no what I was saying was like it's real interesting because our phones are learning us or whatever right which

has been happening since you know for a long time now but our phones are learning us like for instance this whole Nikki and Cardi thing that's all I been seeing since Monday, right, right, or whatever, but if I go on Chris's social media It's, wow, Hamison

Wow, you guys said enjoy to explore, I got a backpack The point I'm making Stupid I have a bad home depot I don't even want to finish the point, whatever, it's just basically whatever you consume

for a long time because they're crafting is to, crafting our algorithm to our minds right you do and I just did just with the mess yesterday now that's all I see is everybody I talked about and just with the mess you know I put my I did it I put my phone down I wasn't even in the comments until late last night but now that's all I'm seeing is everybody I talked about everybody who I created a story about on on just with the mess and I'm seeing a bunch of negativity a bunch of that now if I start going to look at other things and not even even if I switch up my

content it'll be different like if I do a video about going to home depot today with Chris I'm gonna start seeing like you know DIY projects you know do it do it yourself at home stuff like it's crafted to what we what we absorb yeah all right well Chris don't get scared going to Home Depot nowadays

Salomey Naga. We are the breakfast club. Lauren Larosa is here as well. We got a special guest back in the building. Yep. The CEO of Midtown BioHack. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Chuck Morris.

Yes. I'm glad you said Morris and not Norris. This man be calling that Chuck Norris all the time. I'm like, not the Black Walker, Texas Ranger. Lord. I think he's doing it on purpose. Yeah, he does. Especially on the weeks he mad at you.

That's right. Yes. So Dr. Chuck Morris. has a new way of working out that he came up here I would say a couple of months ago and talked about his new way of working out Jess had been diving in and doing it

so I dove in with Jess to do it as well I told you guys I wanted to see for myself what it did what was it about and results and I've been there I would say probably about 10 weeks 8 to 10 weeks I've been doing it 8 to 10 weeks I was there I've been there every week except to when I was going to say

lie again lie because you are not always consistent like me. So lie again. Get on them, Jeff. I'm gonna let the doctor talk about who's consistent and who's not consistent.

Last time I was here some things were said. A lot of things were said and a lot of things was pointing at pointing at my man right here. Oh, his arms? Because I said,

I didn't realize he had results. Yeah, see, that's me. That's why we never going to rise as a people. It'd be some of us, but they're going to be all of us. Let me see.

Because I really said that before you came in. I'm like, oh my God. I don't know if I see results. Yeah. Okay, Doc. Now, listen,

he's showing me photos of envy with like a little muscle somewhere. But here's the thing, in the photo where there's no muscle, he's not attempting to make a muscle. And these other photos, he is attempting. See, I knew you was going to say this. So look at all three pictures though. I'm looking. He's not

sent to, he, so this photo, uh-huh, this photo is him. My arms is just like that without making a muscle. That's photo, just him chilling on the side with his arm. Don't the interview like he's doing right now. And you see the, you see the guns popping out. I'm not going to lie. I do see. I, and you know, I'm top hater of all haters when it comes to

envy in the gym, but no, I do see a difference. I do see a difference in his arms, for sure. Oh, what you said? Yeah, too. Because at one point you was giving middle school girl. Now, you're like, you go right. My arms are good now. Now, I got to see, the problem is, I'm a candy eater. Right? Yep. And I'm a chocolate chip

cooking eater. And so I eat horrible. I'm the one that comes after the club, after I perform. I want some wings. That is me. I can't stop it. I try to stop it. And then my kids, they come with their little snack. And I feel like I got to taste their snack because they got a snack. And then I messed up.

And I hate to say it, I'm a soda drinker. Yeah. Which is probably the biggest thing. I like soda. I don't drink alcohol like that. Yeah. I like soda. I like that pop.

I like the pop in my mouth, pause. Yeah. You better pause, dad. All right pause. Pause. I like soda. It is what it is. But, yeah, so I'm, I would tell everybody this, right?

I'm not going to lie. I was very skeptical about Dr. Chuck Morris and his program of how it worked, right? I liked it because I didn't. I didn't have to go to the gym five or six days a week. I go there one day awake for a workout and then I recover. No, you'd be speaking another day in because you will lie and say and tell everybody over one, but you really doubled up. I usually go four days a week because you know, you can do stomach.

You could do stomach every other day. So I do stomach every other day and I do recovery every other day because I wanted to take the maximum, right? But the problem is when it comes through it, I'm disciplined, right? I go all the time. I see your husband all the time. I'm Chris's day all the time. You're not so much.

But you kind of like Gia. Like Gia went hard for like a week straight. She sure did. I had the cutest little outfits, too. She probably had her outfits and ready. Madison had their outfits. They're all right now. We're going to protect it.

We're going to protect the hats. They come everything. Okay, Dot. She was in there. So what about Jess's results? Because I also told her she looked amazing before she, like, I remember you did the walk with Big Sexy. Yes.

And people. And I was actually pregnant during that walk. And then people were like, you know, the body. And then she had Marley, you baby wear. So she looked amazing before. So what, what are justice results? And that's a good question because we always figure out in our head, we're like, hey, what do I look like?

What do I look like? And we go for the wrong things when we say results. The first thing is to get healthier and stronger. And that's the key. If I get healthy and stronger, then my body can contour and switch it to make it look the way that I want to look. So when we talk about the results, suggest across the board, her strength increased by 28%

on everything she did across the board in 12 weeks, which was 12 workouts. What does that mean? I'm going to give it to you. Envy did 31%. So he had a 31% increase across the board in 12 weeks, which is 12 workouts. In a regular model, and this is validated, you would have to work out three to four days a week for 45 minutes, for 14 to 16 weeks, to increase by over 20% in strength. they did it in 12 weeks

and it was only one day got you right and then the recovery stuff so the other part of what the results is how does my body feel getting people out of pain. We got them out of pain in the knee, out of pain in the ankle that generally takes the same

amount of decrease in pain that they experience in 12 weeks just coming in for the extra 30 minutes one day a week it takes on average the regular person 16 weeks 45 minutes to 60 minutes a day in PT they got it done one day a week

so their results is stronger less pain and then really kicking in on all the brain stuff and get the stress levels out and get the brain rock and rolling and yes just definitely increased their sex because I think that's important to period Chris definitely gave me a chest bump it was random he just came her husband

just came in the chest bump me I didn't know what it was for he's like period so it's real and I have built muscle as well because that was one thing after I did have the baby thank you Lauren for telling me I didn't look like I needed it but like girl this, like when you do this, I didn't realize that it moves a lot. Even when you skinny a little bit, it's like, I was not

the healthiest person, you know, even having a baby, and even though you look like you're healthy and you look fit, that's not always the case. And so that's what I do thank you for that because even when I walked in here one day, remember Sholomey was like, you're looking a little strong. And I was like, he did not say

I look like a damn body bit of envy. He said, you're looking a little bopper. You're looking a little shizzle. Yeah, chiseled. I like chiseled. So, and I was like, yeah, you know, thank you. You know, just the Midtown BioHack, you know, just the Morris Method. I'm all here, you know, killing them.

Well, shout out to y'all. But what I do want to say is my favorite part of the workout right there, because I'm there for an hour in total because I like to do recovery right after. That's the best part for me, recovery, because I actually broke my ankle about 11 years ago. And I shattered my tibia bone and my fibia bone, right? And I had to have two surgeries to get my foot basically put back together to bones like from the ankle on down and he's been doing this PT with me physical therapy with me that gives me much more movement than I've ever had because my it healed wrong because I jumped

back in heels too quick um he has gotten me to move my ankle a lot more than it has ever moved because I thought I was going to have to have many more surgeries that's what the doctor has said so first of all grateful and happy that I met you because it's not just the workout it's the recovery and it's also the therapy that goes along with it so i appreciate that dr morris that's right and again you can definitely check out dr chuck morris and again you don't have to you can go in between if you have lunch you can go at your lunchtime there's a lot of people that come there and there's suits and they work out in their suits you don't need workout clothes you might be a little funky after but that's you just get a little spray deodorant but uh you can

definitely go do it and as far as physical therapy i got to say one last thing i was the same as just not with the ankle my knee was effed up right um i was jumping on to jumpy with the kids, the machine hit me and F my knee up. It was hard to walk and the one good thing about this and it probably won't stay like this, but since they have a small staff they know everything about you. So doctor

knows when I'm going on tour, when I'm going here. The first thing he said, well, grease is a lot of walking. How are you knee? I let's do therapy on your grease as soon as you get back to get my knee back and that's what I like. I like the fact that they know every individual there's life. They know when somebody goes there and goes on vacation and needs a little bit of this

and a little bit of that. They know your body just as well as you do so they're able to help you recover and it's not just black people it's black people, white people as Asian as bad people rich people poor people yeah

yeah so that's nice if you get a chance how can people connect you and if they want to try it out how can they follow what you do well they can go to Midtown Biohack.com right here on Madison Avenue

Armstrong, host of the new podcast, The Curse of America's Next Top Model. I've been investigating the real story behind that iconic show. I ended up having anorexia issues, bulimia issues, by talking to the models, the producers, and the people who profited from it all. We basically sold our souls, and they got rich. If you were so rooting for her and saw her drowning, what did you help her? Listen to the Curse of America's Next Top Model on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, we're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier. Complex problem solving takes effort.
