I'm going to Human Resources today.
This is, what, the third day?
The fourth day in a row?
That my co-hosts are not here when we crack this mic?
Check, check.
There we go.
What's up, Red?
What the hell is going on out there?
They've been waiting a couple of days this week.
Now, we let Jess and Laris lie, because, of course, Jess is pregnant.
But come on, Charlamagne. Usually, I can make an excuse. I can say, well, you course, Jess is pregnant. But come on, Charlamagne.
Usually, I can make an excuse.
I can say, well, you know, Charlamagne, sometimes you need gas in the morning.
You got to decide whether you're going to get gas for your car or make it on time.
But I used that excuse already.
No?
What's up, Mac?
How you feeling?
Good morning.
Hey, I'm trying to figure out what's going on. I'm going to Human Resources after this.
Happy Friday!
I don't know what's going on here.
Well, happy Friday.
A lot going on today.
Well, I don't know if you've heard, but Future and Metro Woman released another album.
We still don't trust you.
And it seems like everybody is beating up Drake.
They're jumping Drake at this point.
It's a light-skinned thing.
No, it's not right. It is a light-skinned thing. No, it's not right.
It is a light-skinned thing.
It's not right.
It's not fair.
They gotta stop.
Like, we gotta have
a one-on-one.
You can't just keep jumping them.
On the album,
I see A$AP.
A$AP has a verse.
A$AP Rocky has a verse
going at Drake.
That's a diss track, right?
Seems like it is.
Seems like The Weeknd
threw some balls at Drake.
Look, ever since that eclipse,
everybody been acting up up This beef has gotten
It's out of control now
Of course that's Big Mac from Wild N Out
You know one of the producers up here
I just didn't want you talking to yourself
Thank you
J. Cole is on the album
How is J. Cole on the album?
J. Cole just did a tour with Drake
And he flowed too, pause
Is this old J. Cole or is this new J. Cole?
This is like he just paid off his student new J. Cole? This is like he just
paid off his student loan J. Cole.
It seems like an old verse.
No, the vibe is. It's definitely a new verse, but
the vibe is definitely right after
paying your Sally Mae off. I heard it, but he's
not throwing shots at Drake, but still.
Jesus Christ.
Drake's going to have to respond to everybody. He's going to have to
just go at war with everybody.
It's just going to be Drake versus the world, and I get it.
But you can't keep beating up my light-skinned brother like that.
What's up, Charlamagne?
I'm making up stuff.
No.
No, here's the thing.
What?
Y'all gassing it. You got to say good morning first.
Well, good morning.
Peace out, everybody.
Y'all gassing it.
Like, 95% of this stuff that y'all saying is disses ain't even disses.
Except I get it, isn't it?
I think he did.
I listened, but I couldn't really catch it.
What about the weekend?
That don't sound like a diss to me.
Who else they said?
I saw them say J. Cole.
I don't know if J. Cole was throwing shots at Kendrick.
No, he wasn't.
Was he responding to the beef or something?
I didn't see that.
I just saw A$AP Racket in the weekend.
Here's the thing.
They're trying to gas up Drake to do something.
Drake, you got one op out there.
His name is Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick is the only one wanting smoke.
Kendrick wants to eat graham crackers.
Okay?
Everybody else, I don't even know what that is.
Go at everybody.
That's just the internet gas and things.
Why do they do that?
You go online and it's like, Weekend, this is Drake.
J. Cole, this is Kendrick.
A$AP Rocky, this is Drake.
I think it's the bars.
I think the weekends that I almost signed my life away.
So I think that's what people took that.
I think A$AP Rocky, I think, really did diss. So I think that's where people took that. I think A$AP Rocky really did diss Drake.
If Rocky did, Rocky Olde drank that.
He did.
Yeah, Rocky Olde drank that.
I see you on the album.
You made the album.
Yeah, something I said on Brandy is we should start the show at 6.03.
I was waiting for you, sir.

You just made me a king right now.
Wait, hold on.
Before we do, let's tell the people who's coming on the show today.

Streets Made Me a King is the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Shalameen the Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, for the first time in five years, taxes are actually due on tax day.
All right.
So the federal and state taxes are due Monday.
Now, usually because of holidays, weekends and COVID-19, they gave you a little extra time.
But no, taxes are due on Monday.
So if you don't have your taxes ready, file an extension.
But you better pay your taxes because they will be charging you.
And I know Uncle Sam listens every morning. So good morning the irs office to the irs man what's happening
appreciate you the only people that can stick us up and ain't nothing we can do about it
not at all by the way like i always say i wouldn't have no problem paying taxes if i i knew exactly
where my tax dollars were going if i could actually see this amount of money that you spent
is going here you know what i actually think they i they would do? I wish they would let us pick where we want our money to go.
I don't have no problem, you know, supporting any initiatives.
Well, they would have to be categories, though, right?
Because it would have to be like, you know, redoing, restructuring the bridges.
It would have to be schools.
I'm fine with that.
Let me choose.
Let me choose where my dollars are going.
You can't, though.
That's why it's a hypothetical.
I mean, how are they going to send money to Ukraine and all those other places?
I don't want my money to go over there.
That's my point.
That's why you can't pick it.
I want to keep all my money in America.
And if I do send it overseas, I want to pick the country.
No, you can't.
You can't send it to Anguilla.
You can't say, okay, let's go.
I want to send it to Anguilla.
I want to send it to Ghana.
Yes, absolutely.
I'll send it to Haiti.
Damn right.
Absolutely.
But I want to be able to choose Where my tax dollars go
That's all I'm simply saying
I probably wouldn't have
No problem if I could do that
Also we gotta send
A rest in peace
To OJ Simpson
Yeah
OJ Simpson passed away
At the age of 76
He reportedly died
After a battle
With prostate cancer
You know him professionally
His nickname was
The Juice
And we just want to send
A rest in peace to him
There was mixed emotions When he passed away yesterday we just want to send a rest in peace to him.
There was mixed emotions when he passed away yesterday.
Some people were, you know, rest in peace.
And one of the greats when it came to the NFL.
And then some people were saying good riddance.
But we just want to say rest in peace to OJ Simpson.
Yeah, so strange to watch a bunch of grown-ass adults say that it was karma that a man died at 76 years old from prostate cancer.
You do realize the average age of a man, a lifespan is probably about 74.
You do realize that anybody can get prostate cancer, right?
I don't know why people act like health issues are karma.
That's not karma.
And a lot of them know that they're coming up on their 70s. That's what I'm saying.
It's so weird.
It's just weird to me.
It's karma.
No, it's not. He was 76 years old and had prostate it's just weird to me it's karma no it's not he
was 76 years old and had prostate cancer that's right it's called life it happens right now his
family requested privacy and grace during this time of transition on his oj simpson twitter slash
x account whatever you want to call it uh and also this is something that charlamagne and i say all
the time you have to go to the doctor i know sometimes you don't want to go to the doctor
you don't want to know what it is but But some of these things that people are passing away from can be prevented, can be cured, can be stopped.
So you have to go to the doctor.
It doesn't matter what you are.
Once you get to that age, I know a lot of times we go out, we drink, we have fun and party.
But once we start getting older in life, we want to be there for our kids.
We want to be there for our family members.
So take your ass to the doctor.
Yeah, and I mean, a prostate exam is super uncomfortable especially when you
don't expect one you know i went to go get a vasectomy consultation and ended up with a
prostate exam and you know i had all type of thoughts going through my head because you know
when they do the vasectomy consultation you got to pull your pants down they got to look at your
legs and all of that type of stuff and then the doctor's like you know what you need a prostate
i'm like nah this man think i'm cute like why all of a sudden he's spinning he's funny no i didn't we had a conversation we had a conversation i googled You need a prostate. I'm like, nah, this man think I'm cute. Like, why all of a sudden? He's spitting. He's spitting.
Nope, I didn't.
We had a conversation.
We had a conversation.
I Googled.
I texted a few people.
I'm just trying to figure out if this is normal.
It's like, boy, turn around a bit, Nova. Come on.
I got time for you to call Nova.
So you wanted to have a conversation first before he did.
You goddamn right.
I want to ask questions.
You should do what your doctor, dumbass.
You don't just go to your doctor and talk.
I mean, let your doctor do anything.
You talk to him.
Figure it out.
But yes, I'm fine. I don't have a a process did he slap you on your ass when he was
done no see this is why people don't want to get prostate exams you're going first of all you're
gonna you're gonna give you're gonna give positive information right tell people go to the doctor

Her father died, left her 100 racks, and she flipped on me.
No, man.

And I go to school. Study infoelectrical engineering it's hard but we need more people

It's time to set it on.
So as we know, Chris Brown dropped the deluxe edition of his album 1111 and it features a disc directed at Quavo
on the song Freak Chris takes a shot at Quavo oh my god no they encourage he trying after him
listen I just mean Chris recorded that a while ago,
and it was too fire for him not to put on this album.
That's what that was.
That was so long ago, right?
That was a long time ago.
It was in 2017.
Quavo actually started dating Carucci,
who had previously dated Chris Brown or whatever, right?
And then, you know, for those who don't remember or whatever,
they got into like a little altercation, allegedly.
At a parking lot, right?
After the BET Awards.
Backstage, actually.
And then the artist was recently just seen sitting together at an event.
But they were awkwardly sitting together.
That was placement.
I think production did that.
And Chris even said something about it.
He was like, yeah.
He said something like, I have to be.
It's for business.
It's for business, yeah.
He ain't got to say nothing to me.
And I ain't got to say nothing to him.
Listen, Quavo heard that.
And you know all these artists got studios in their house.
He slid down them steps.
He made his song.
He made his little diss, and then he came back at Chris.
You did it wrong, and now the shit gone.
She post with a thug.
Yeah, with a thug.
Caught up with your phone.
She won't come home.
Don't beat her up.
Don't beat her up.
It must be the drugs.
It must be the drugs.
Need to cross out your plug.
Yeah, yeah.
Damn. That's crazy
Damn
When Michelle Obama said
When they go low, we go high
Quavo said, nope
I'm taking it to the floor
We gonna break dance
Not don't be the op
Damn
Chris Brown can't wait to fly down stage
Listen
Alright, so
I guess we gonna stand by Let's see who else right. So I guess we don't stand by it.
Let's see who else coming after that.
Well, we know Chris going to say something.
All right.
Future and Metro booming.
We still don't trust you album.
That's out.
And people online speculating.
And there's a few Drake disses.
And on the song Show of Hands with A$AP Rocky,
he mentions Drake being mad that he is now with Rihanna.
ASAP owe Drake that, that though Because Drake had some
He had some bars for them on
For All The Dogs
Yep
Yeah
Yeah he owed him that
I just want like A$AP to really like
It wasn't believable to me
I don't even hear what the diss was
But you know
Yeah
Basically
He made it seem like he smashed his baby moms
Before he had his first son
That's what it made it seem like
But he was like man I've been here Rihanna
Like this ain't like I don've been here, Rihanna.
Like, this ain't like,
you ain't. I don't think it was Rihanna.
I think it was somebody
on the other one.
Oh my God.
Think about it.
He said,
I smashed before you
had your first son.
No.
Call up Pluto,
Metro,
shit up,
put me on the first one.
Digging up the city,
but your baddest,
I just bagged the first one.
Digging in they feelings
over women,
but you heard a son.

They're just a bunch of blood,
bloodthirsty,
unhealed heathens

Drake, stay focused.
You got one out.
And his name is Kendrick Lamar.
They all throwing shots.
And you've been ducking that fight for a long time.
Kendrick been bullying you for several years now.
And you've done nothing about it.
Now, if you choose to ignore it, cool.
That's on you.
I'm not mad at it.
I just want you to know we know who's been challenging you, and you know too.
It ain't The Weeknd.
It ain't A$AP Rocky.
Okay?
It's all of them.
It's Kendrick Lamar.
Give them bars.
Give them all bars and rap.
No.
We just need to bring back Celebrity Deathmatch.
This would be a great time to bring back Celebrity Deathmatch.
They would jump him, though.
Yes, they would.
They would jump him.
He'd be by himself.
He'd be drinking chub by himself.
Kendrick would come out The Raptors like Sting
Remember Sting used to
Come out the Raptors
Dressed like the crow
With the long black
Trench coat on
And the face paint
And the baseball bat
He used to sit up there
Anti-social introvert
Just watching everybody
That's Kendrick right now
Kendrick is stinging
The Raptors
Just waiting
I got confidence in Drizzy
Waiting
I got confidence in Drizzy
Confidence to do what?
To rap.
Yeah, he can rap, but he ain't got nothing on Kendrick Lamar.
No, he gonna come back.
I don't know when.
Hopefully soon.
He better keep chilling in the cup.
You don't think so?
That's what he better keep doing.
Nah, he got no mind.
We acting like Drake and our boss.
Drake is phenomenal.
Kendrick and Drake would be a phenomenal matchup.
I'm just telling you, he don't want it with Kung Fu Kenny.
He don't want it with Kung Fu Kenny.
He can take ASAP.
He can take The Weeknd.
Y'all stop it, man.
He can sing back.
What?
Y'all stop it.
Drake is a smart championship fighter.
He know the match he should not take right now.
He don't need to come back.
He's been ducking this match for several years.
Yeah, he don't need to come back.
Several.
We don't need any of them for that.
We still don't trust him.
Did people say that when he battled The Meekique and D'Amique went back and forth?
That was a good fight for him, and he won that.
But then he lost the pusher.
All right.
And he don't want it with Kendrick.
Okay.
And if he do want it with Kendrick, then he need to show and prove.
But if he chooses not to, I'm cool on that too.
But I just want him to know that the op is Kendrick Lamar.
Did you say he lost D'Amique?
I did not say that.
Nobody heard that at all. Come on now. Nobody heard that. Come on. Kendrick is the. Did you say he lost to Meek? No, I did not say that. Nobody heard that at all.
Nobody heard that.
Come on.
Kendrick is the one that wants to fight.
Kendrick has been challenging him for several, several years.
Okay.
All right.
Well, maybe he's going to do it on his time, right?
He's not going to listen to your social media antics,
and he's going to do it on his time when he wants to do it.
I'm not mad at that either.
Okay.
Leadership, leadership.
All right.
When we come back, we got front page news.
We'll tell you about Biden.
Biden was supposed to be talking to a group of journalists, but the journalists weren't in the room.
It was an empty hallway.
We'll tell you about it when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get into front page news.
Now, Tom Brady, he joked that he's not opposed to coming back to the NFL. This would
be after his second retirement. I'm not opposed to it. If they would, I don't know if they're
going to let me if I become an owner in the NFL team, but I don't know if, I don't know. I'm
always going to be in good shape. I'll always be able to throw the ball. So to come in for a little
bit like MJ coming back, I don't know if they let me, but I wouldn't be opposed to it. I mean, the way the
rules are set up in the NFL where it's damn near
flag football, it probably
would be okay for him to come
back at the tender age of 46
and stay in the pocket and just throw the football.
It's not like they can hit nobody no more.
They really can't?
I mean, they hit, but
you gotta be extra careful.
Okay. Yeah. Now we gotta talk about Biden. Biden cancels hit that minute hit but really you gotta you gotta be extra careful yeah okay yeah now we
gotta talk about biden biden uh cancels another round of student debt for over 200 000 borrowers
we got the audio in he said the audio is in is in it's in he said look at the string
that's it from day one my administration has been committed to fixing the broken student loan system
and making sure higher education
is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier.
My administration has approved debt cancellation for 4 million Americans through various actions.
And today, I'm announcing new plans that would cancel student debt for millions more.
In total, these plans would cancel some or all student debt for 30 million Americans when combined with everything we've done so far.
To find out how these plans may impact you, visit studentaid.gov.
Round of applause. I'm not mad at that.
Dropping the clues bombs, you know, for everybody out there getting a student debt wiped out.
But I still think that he should have the people who are getting their debt wiped out doing the testimonial.
I agree.
I don't want to hear him.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to hear him.
He sound like a corpse up there.
Like, it don't even sound, like, exciting.
Like, it don't sound...
Like I said, I always say he's an uninspiring candidate.
He has no main character energy.
He should have the people who are getting their debt wiped out
telling their own testimonials.
Yeah, because there's a lot of testimony.
People will tell you they've been paying their student debt for decades, 10 years, 15 years trying to get them down.
And a lot of people, if they finish that debt, like you said, they can start their own business.
They can be entrepreneurs.
They can get into, you know, purchase their own home, whatever it may be.
Let them tell the story.
Y'all got all these political ad dollars.
Put commercials together with those people telling the story.
I don't want to see it from President Joe Biden.
Right, I agree.
Now, lastly, Instagram is cutting down on teen sextortion, and this is how they're doing it.
Any parent, especially teenagers, knows you got to be diligent when it comes to their use of social media.
Now, Instagram is doing something that's going to help that as well.
There's this scam where people are trying to convince teens to send them nude photos and then tell the teens that they'll post the
image online unless the victim sends them money or gift cards. The company announced today it's
testing new features to curb the crime, including blurring nude images sent in direct messages and
letting users know when they've interacted with somebody who's engaged in financial sextortion, as they call it.
The FBI says it's seen an increase in these types of cases in recent years, often started by scammers overseas.
Instagram says the feature should be available worldwide.
I feel so sorry for those kids in the world they have to grow up in, man.
Yeah.
We did not have those problems.
Yeah.
No. I'm all for advances in technology technology but that is when i'm not yeah and it seems like it's getting worse and worse and worse and i can't see it getting better like i can't see it with the way
technology is moving and the way that these kids are on uh instagram and snapchat and youtube so
much i don't see it getting better you know and a lot of parents are using these devices as
babysitters you know yep yep i remember while i said that like technology is now raising your kids
it is like yeah kids spend more time on technology than they do in your presence yeah even with my
my son yesterday he was on um roblox he was on roblox and instead of typing in the words
he's talking into it so he doesn't have to type it and know if his sentence is right or wrong and i and i took his phone from him yesterday but that was the reason why i'm like no like go do
homework go read a book like enough's enough so all right and that is front page news what you
gonna do when the uh the chip is available which is when uh like that stuff like uh elon musk got
like norlink uh you know when they can implement I don't know the technical professional
words for it but
when they can put
like chat GPT and
stuff in your brain
oh like you could
think about it and
then type it out
yeah because you're
gonna be yeah you
how you gonna compete
on stage with a
stand-up comedian
that got that in
their brain yeah
I'm gonna keep
doing what I'm
doing trust me
they're gonna be
too quick you know
what I'm saying
they're gonna be
pulling jokes out
the sky how you
supposed to compete
if you're debating
with somebody you know imagine Dr. Michael Eric Dyson we got coming in next debating somebody who got
the chip in his brain right that and the doc ain't no joke all right but when you got the chip in
your brain you can just pull out information from all types of different places but how would that
work on stage i don't understand what you mean what do you mean like you said just be smarter
they'll just be faster they'll just be my quicker. My audience? No, the person. No, because you said, imagine me
on stage. I said, how are you going to compete?
How I'm going to compete with other comedians who have...
Yes. That don't mean they're going to be funny
because they just pulling jokes out.
Yes, they will. They're going to be able
to pull up anything. Well, I don't compete with comedians
anyway. I just do my thing,
sweets. Talk.
Great.
I don't know. I've heard Lil Du ball say that too as far as like what you gonna
do when somebody got the chip in their brain and that's true it's like when they got the chip in
their head and they can just pull up anything well I guess we talk about Chad you can you can
literally say hey write this script about this movie write a script about a guy in a studio with
a crown rollback you do a whole movie script in five three five minutes right and it's still
trash movies coming out so what are we talking about? All right? Yeah? We'll see
Are you investing in into something like what did you believe heavily in is?
I'm just telling you what the future may look like it may it may not know it will
May is next month
I will say this to it
I think they have to change the education in the curriculum because a lot of these students are using chat GPT to write papers.
They're using chat GPT to pass tests and pass classes where they're not actually getting the knowledge.
They're going through an app to actually do the work for them.
It's going to be a world of dummies.
You know what I'm saying?
There you go.
It is what it is.
All right.
Now, when we come back, Michael Eric Dice will be joining us.
He's going to be speaking at the National Action Network 2024 convention, and we're talking to him next.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
That's right.
The good brother.
Michael Eric Dice.
Welcome back, brother.
Hey, it's good to be here.
The new digs, they look great.
Wow, man.
Sal, how come no pictures of Dyson on the wall, sir?
That hairline look crispy, bro.
I was about to say the same thing.
You got the crispy hairline.
You know I had to get it faded up before I came here, man.
You know I had to hang with y'all.
I had to get right, man.
Well, it is a big election, yeah?
It is a big election, bro.
Ready to dive in?
Man.
How you feeling? Biden? How you feeling about Trump? It is a big election, bro. Ready to dive in? Man. How you feeling?
Biden?
How you feeling about Trump?
The rematch of America does not want.
It's true, but it's what we got.
You know, I want the Lakers to be here every year in the finals because I was raised as a Lakers fan, but that ain't who's playing.
You know, it's probably going to be the Nuggets and maybe the Celtics.
So you got to choose one of them. And the thing is, is that, yes, we think we want better choices because we want better
choices.
We think that better people should run because we think better people should run.
But these are the people running.
I happen to believe that there is not even a question for black people of who to choose.
I mean, Joe Biden has been far above anything that president or ex-president uh trump
has provided i saw him in the uh chick-fil-a talking about jobs bro i mean the unemployment
rate of black america now is about 5.6 when biden came into office it was 9.3 uh he's talking about
money and checks and i see sexy red and other rappers talking about he gave us a check.
First of all, please study your politics and your civics.
That's the Congress that allotted that money.
Plus, it's Yodo.
And if you're going to count that way, then count what Biden did for relieving the burden of people paying back their student loans.
And on and on and on. on when we look at every metric not only putting a black woman in the vice president's office not only putting a black woman on the supreme court but doing programs that lift all boats that address
african-american people specifically in some instances but more broadly issues that are
concerning us whether it's about discrimination and housing uh whether it's about uh not only
student loans but every every effort of education kicking kids out of school early and on and on and on.
It ain't no question for me. Donald Trump is a vortex of bigotry.
He is the leader of the bigotocracy, the rule reign and tyranny of forces that are antithetical to our best interests,
not only as black people, but as a nation. And when we look at every indication of where we are as a nation,
this is a guy who's still standing by people who supported January 6th, the insurrectionists. He's
trying to make them American patriots, but demonizing Black Lives Matter, demonizing people
who protest for the right and the ability to live in this nation without the unjust encumbrances
imposed on us by white supremacy so i don't understand what black
people see in donald trump's swag i mean come on it's borrowed swag at best donald trump the face
of neo-fascism the face of an authoritarian government that is already indicated if he gets
back in office what he's going to do there ain't no choice for us and black people we got to wake
up these are the things we have to attend to and look you saw the article i think in the new york times that said that donald trump and the
republican party are supporting third party interests because those detract from and take
votes away from joe biden so we know in a tight race every vote counts rfk jr r RFK Jr. in particular. RFK Jr. in particular. And I think that, again, this is not time for this extended journey of narcissism, this escapade of self-deification.
Bro, these are serious issues at stake, and black folk got to get out there and vote.
What would you say to black conservatives who say our best interests are conservative values?
That's why so few of them.
Their numbers speak for themselves.
Black conservatives are quite interesting.
You know, you had a wonderful interview here with Candace Owens.
She ain't, you know, what's interesting to me, Candace Owens ain't apologized for what she said about George Floyd.
She made an entire documentary besmirching this man's attitude posthumously.
No apology for that.
If that's how she feels, why should she apologize?
Well, first of all, because she should apologize because she's wrong number one
number two she can feel that way and that's your point about feeling let me connect these two
black people what we feel as opposed to what we do sometimes you don't feel like loving your
partner you don't feel like loving your wife or your husband or the person you're with but you
do it out of what a sense of duty duty and obligation. Those are not bad words.
So just because she felt that way, the facts show that's not true.
The stuff she tried to make up has been empirically disproved.
At the same time, here's a man lying on the ground begging for his life
that millions of black people can identify with,
and she's trying to turn it into some conspiracy of black refusal to be responsible.
Her and Jason Whitlock, these are people who are destructive for our community.
If that's what black conservatism is, her or Jason Whitlock or Clarence Thomas,
who has been a singular source of destruction for our people,
the black conservatives ain't got much to recommend for their particular viewpoint.
This is what I think we're missing, and I'm not defending any of these people at all.
What I think with somebody like a Candace Owens,
I don't think black people, certain black people,
wouldn't realize she already had a large audience of black people.
She had a movement called Blexit.
And that was six, seven years ago.
She was trying to get people, black people in particular,
to get off the Democratic plantation and seek other things,
whether it was being a conservative, being an independent, whatever it is.
So I think now when people say this thing about oh it's black people embracing her it's like
nah she already had an audience of black people when we say black people we're talking about new
black people who weren't embracing her before the black people who weren't look of course they are
conservative black people in this country candace owens and kanye west bless them they can do what
they want they can believe what they want but we have a right and an obligation to say but that is
not productive for us and just because you making dough from that or some black people follow you
the masses of black people are not following you because the masses of black people don't discern
in your belief system a structure of reliable confidence invested in this political order
for you to represent us you ain't representing what we believe when you believe in things you
don't understand then you suffer superstition ain't the way, the great Stevie Wonder said.
And some of that conservative stuff is kind of political superstition. It's not premised upon
empirical facts. It's not based upon what we know to be the case. It's an idealized expression of
where we are. So when the conservatives latch on to you, it shouldn't be the color of your skin,
it should be the content of your character. That was a dream that a man articulated.
That was not a reality.
So again, for Candace Owens to get a pass, and this is what I mean by pass, not that there weren't already black people following her, but for our sympathies of those who didn't necessarily sign on to what she believed to now be sympathetic to her because she's gotten mistreated by white folk. That's what
we've been telling you. I don't know if anybody's being sympathetic
to her, though. You don't think anybody's being sympathetic
to Candace Owens? No. Oh, yeah. There are
a lot of people sympathetic to Candace Owens. As a black
woman, stand up for her.
Oh, you know, it could be because they agree
on the Gaza issue. That's probably
I can see that. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.
All right. We got more with Michael Eric
Dyson when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. All right. All right, we got more with Michael Eric Dyson. When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarion, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Michael Eric Dyson.
I think a lot of people are tired of, I call it the daddy's law in my house, right?
The daddy's law in my house is I said it and you do what I say.
Don't ask me no questions.
I feel like that's a lot with Democrats, right?
We see things sometimes when we ask a question, they and be like, oh, you're going against us.
I'm not going against you.
I'm asking a question, right?
We talk about Biden, right?
When you talk about Biden and people thought he had amnesia, just watching the things that he do.
And then when you ask about it, it's like, oh, you're going against him.
You're giving the Republicans ammunition.
No, I'm just asking because I might not want that Democrat as my president.
Any critique.
Any critique.
Any critique.
I might not want that. When you're black, it automatically makes you the worst person ever. Where the money goes. With this, that Democrat as my president. Any critique. Any critique of Democrats. Any critique. I might not want that.
When you're black, it automatically makes you the worst person ever.
Where the money goes.
With this, that, and the other.
If I ask a question or question anybody, like anybody, like I can question you, you can
question me.
Sure.
Doesn't necessarily mean we enemies.
Doesn't mean I'm going against you, but we just having a real conversation.
And I think that's what bothers a lot of black Americans when it comes to Democrats.
I get that.
I mean, but if you think that's a problem with Democrats, what in the hell do you think that's in regard to Republicans
who at least with Democrats, you have an argument to be made?
And by the way, I agree with all that.
In the sense that we should be able to criticize.
I wrote an entire book, as this generation has a whole book,
on Barack Obama.
I remember when they hated you for that.
Bro, bro.
So you're talking to the...
Tavis Smiley.
Right, even though I distinguish myself from them in terms of how far at least Wes was able to go.
I think Tavis had a bit more decor.
Hey, guys.
I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests
and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that arise
once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins
you feel after a great workout?

hey y'all nemini here i'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.
And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you
feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how
would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret
from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child?
These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets.
Some of you have been with us since season one and others are just tuning in. Whatever the case, and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family,
where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us,
the secrets we keep from others,
and the secrets we keep from ourselves.

Sometimes it's just living.
Yeah, things like J-Lo on her
third divorce. Living.
Girls' trip to Miami. Mess.
Ozempic. Messy
skinny living.
Restaurant stealing a birthday cake.
Mess. Wait,
what flavor was the cake though? Okay, that's a good question.
Hooking up with someone in accounting
and then getting a promotion. Living.
Breaking up with your
girlfriend while on Instagram Live.

Hey, what's up?
This is Ramses Jha.
And I go by the name Q Ward.
And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher.
That's right.
We're going to discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people,
but in a way that informs and empowers all people to hopefully create better allies.
Think of it as a black show for non-black people.
We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police violence,
and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home, workplace, and social circle.
Exactly. Whether you're Black, Asian, White, Latinx, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, you name it. If you stand
with us, then we stand with you. Let's discuss the stories and conduct the interviews that will help
us create a more empathetic, accountable, and equitable America. You are all our brothers and
sisters, and we're inviting you to join us for Civic Cipher each and every Saturday with myself, Ramses Jha, Q Ward, and some of the
greatest minds in America. Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Decorum, I'm sorry. But the point is this,
is that yes, you know, I was out there taking strays because I believed a certain thing and I wanted to hold people accountable.
Still love them.
See, I believe in the six inning theory of baseball.
As you know, this is baseball season.
In the sixth inning, if it starts raining, whoever's ahead is going to win.
If you go six innings, whoever's ahead is going to win.
So I think we got to go six innings.
That means we got to stay on the same team, have the message of productive engagement politically for
our people, what helps us, what
hurts us, identifying enemies,
friends, and opponents, and then after
six innings, you got some stuff to spread around.
So when you make a critical comment like
that, don't be naive.
I'm just being objective and neutral.
I'm just raising a question. You ain't just being objective
and neutral. Even if you intend to be,
the consequence of your talk is not.
Your intent may be to
be neutral. The consequence is
it reinforces a certain narrative
or belief. That doesn't mean you can't
be critical, because I was critical,
but I put it in context. I specified
how much love I had for Obama.
I specified what I thought he was doing right.
I talked about the interest he held.
I talked about how white supremacy ganged up on him.
But I also said he had three bites at the apple.
He ain't chose no black woman to be on the Supreme Court.
He had many opportunities where he spoke up and out against black people.
I think that his comments about and especially his spouse in regard to Jeremiah Wright were wholly gratuitous and destructive after the fact.
So I got criticisms, but I got to understand the degree to which they play into a narrative
that either supports my beliefs or undercuts them.
So there's no kind of objective.
This Archimedean point of objectivity.
I stand outside the flow of human history.
No, bro, you down here with Wes Montgomery on the ground.
Y'all probably too young to remember Wes Montgomery, the great jazz guitarist, down here on the ground. We're down here with uh west montgomery on the ground as y'all probably too young remember west montgomery the great jazz uh uh guitarist down here on the ground we're down here on the
ground so it's not that we can't be critical but i'm saying what's what's your critique of
a political order where republicans don't even give a damn about who you are at least with
democrats you can push them at least with democrats oh wait a minute you said you claimed
you were part of
and then you fill in the blanks so what are you doing you're failing us that kind of critique is
is quite necessary and powerful and when we do it however is extremely powerful as well
and we have to be strategic about it i agree with you wholeheartedly and i also say i feel like black
people in particular we shouldn't be beholden to any party i don't think these fanatics over
democrats are insane to me these fanatics over conservatives are insane to me we should always
be looking at who and what serves our best interests i don't even think we should be
talking about voting for individuals let's talk about the ideas and the ideas that that individual
is putting on the table i think that'll get you farther but let me in conversation with you let
me ask you this here's the point why are black people stupid? I don't think so.
No, not at all.
Are they dumb?
I don't think so.
So why is it that black people are voting for the Democrats?
Isn't that because they're on a damn plantation?
Because at least the Democrats are limited.
They serve our best interests.
So, you know, the old saying, no permanent party, just permanent interests.
That's right.
I get that.
That's right.
But our interests have been tied up with people who at least are willing to listen to us tell me what interests of african-american people except a few black rappers that donald
trump got out of jail what black person can point to him and say these this man articulates the
interests of my community uh embraces us as a people understands our plight and predicament
he's talking about the whole countries um many of whom but many of which are uh countries of color black people in them this is a dude consistently talking about hurting
and harming black people using the police power of the state to circumscribe us and to undermine
us so i'm saying why would we even vote for anybody who's part of that party everything
you're saying is absolutely correct but what i want us to start doing is just look at the things that these people are doing that is getting people's attention you
dismissed something right you said that um you said that he he let out three black rappers it's
not even about the black rappers it's about the first step back i think donald trump is a fascist
i think he's a threat to democracy i don't think that you know anybody who calls himself a patriot
should want somebody in the white house right who wanted to suspend the Constitution to overthrow the results of the election.
Absolutely. That. Yes.
But with all of that on the table, what do you say to people who say so what?
I mean, like there's people already living in hell in this country.
So when you tell them that, you know, he's a threat to democracy, they're like democracy never worked for us.
No way. Yeah. But that's democracy.
People in hell think will get worse.
Well, first of all, if they inhale, you got to tell people, yeah, you inhale.
But if you think you lonely now, wait until the night you have a Bobby Womack theology.
You got to have a Bobby Womack theology.
If you think it's bad now, wait until the night, girl.
So black people got to understand that there are degrees to this.
Right.
And when we look at the degrees to this, yes, it is tough.
Child poverty is still real.
The attack on black on black women's bodies is still real.
The dismissal of African-American interests is still real.
But it is if it's bad now.
What in the hell do you think is going to be when a fascist takes over, when a guy who doesn't even who's not even interested in your particular viewpoint or your suffering takes over.
Yes, he can go to a darn Chick-fil-A right now and tell you that Joe Biden is the worst president in history.
That's another lie he's telling.
So if we if we don't think that it makes a difference and look, it's hard for people who are suffering to hear that.
But our people have always suffered.
You think you in hell? Imagine having rights and or ability to assert what your beliefs
are you think you in hell what about when you had no choice but to do what a slave master told you
when you were raped at will without moral compunction or legal redress that was hell and
in the midst of that hell those black people held up and held out hope as our condition.
If they could do it, I ain't trying to hear nothing from people right now.
All right. We got more with Michael Eric Dyson.
When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Everybody is DJ and V.
Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Michael Eric Dyson.
Charlamagne, what do you think is fair or unfair in regards to critique of personality?
Because I'm a person that believes you just can't say what you want to say and expect everybody to agree.
Some people are going to like it.
Some people are not going to like it.
And with social media, mad people are going to have an opinion about it.
C'est la vie.
I mean, look, critique is one thing.
But that's different than you just assaulting me.
That's just different than you saying stuff that ain't even true.
Making it up.
And now we got deep fakes.
We're worried about AI.
The only AI I dig is Allen Iverson.
Other than that, bro, it's rough.
Because now we're not sure what's real, what's not.
And black people should be the last people taking allegations as convictions.
Lord have mercy.
I mean, how can you just say something and then convict somebody?
Black people of all people.
And we have tremendous access now.
We have the possibility to know more than we've ever known before, and we know less than we've ever known.
Because we don't have the same kind of curiosity.
Because we think now, because we can say something to somebody I like, Charlemagne Tha God.
I can jack him up because I have access to him now.
Before, you had to go to his office, write him a letter.
He might not have written you back.
Dear Dr. King, I disagree with
the integration, blah, blah, blah. You don't have
that kind of access. You didn't have
that kind of access then that you have now. So it's
a marvel. But the problem
is everybody got an opinion.
Everybody thinks it's equally valuable
and because you can insult somebody.
Do you think with the rhetorical capacity
I possess,
I couldn't eviscerate you?
You don't think I could do that too?
You think that you're the only one who possesses the ability to call an MF an MF?
Mofo, I grew up in the hizud.
Rizak nizak, brizzatha.
I can get at you.
I can cuss you out more than you think I can.
So the point is, if we're all shutting each other out,
we're all hollering at each other,
we're all protesting at each other, can we ever speak? So I'm for
speaking and listening. I'm not for cancel
culture. I'm for engaging
people. I'm for talking to other people
and I'm for saying, yes, let's talk.
And we can be critical. Confrontation over conversation.
I mean, conversation over confrontation. How about that?
Criticism is not jumping
on you, being nasty about you, saying, you know
what, Dyson, I noticed you said X, Y and Z, but you didn't say this.
Holding me to account.
We should be able to do that.
I know you and I had a conversation about the young Jonathan Owens.
And I posted yesterday.
Right.
Right.
Simone Biles husband.
And people kept saying, you ain't listen to the whole conversation.
I listen to the whole conversation.
In fact, it's worse than that.
Because at one point he goes, look, she's the one who kind of, you know, matched with me and stuff.
He said, she keeps saying she matched, but it was really her.
I'm saying, bro, I'm not trying to dog Jonathan Owens.
Because that's, look, I've been married three times.
Understand that she is valuable to you.
And again, it was a joke.
I get people who defend it.
I understand that.
At the end of the day, though, uplift that woman.
Elevate that woman.
Happy wife, happy life.
Try a little tenderness.
Yeah, I think this is another example to me is like the relationship thing.
Keep that away from the strangers on social media.
Let that be an inside conversation.
Y'all laugh and joke about amongst each other at dinner.
As soon as you bring it to social media, stuff like this happens.
But I think it's helpful.
They might not care.
It might be their relationship, their jokes, their problems, their situation. I think it's helpful they might not care it might be their relationship their jokes
their problems
their situation
I think it's hard
I think it's hard
not to care
when everybody
jokes grow out
of social situations
yeah jokes grow out
of social values
that's what they are
right of course
they reflect
if I shine a light
on my relationship
with my wife
people might think
it's disrespectful
but it's me and my wife
we joke all the time
well no you're a great example
Envy
they put their book out Envy said in his book that he hadn't made his wife orgasm in
a decade right right yeah but that's on him he should have kept that to himself
but that's on him wait a minute if he is saying i didn't step up if he is a hero because most men
go like damn okay i hear you because i couldn't do it for three years i can do it for seven years
he's saying i'm the one but but see difference is, his was a moment of vulnerability.
My man's moment was a moment of machismo.
Let's just be real.
I mean, you can joke, but the joke is reflective of a temperament, an ideal, a politic, an ideology.
And I'm saying, again, that's their business.
You're right.
Because I ain't want to put my business out there.
Because there's plenty of failures and flaws for people to pick apart.
My point is, when I say game, though, bruh, even if you believe that, respect your woman, elevate your woman, understand that in a culture where she's already been demonized as a dark-skinned black woman, that could be deeply and profoundly problematic as well.
And it wasn't 10 years.
I just want to tell you that wasn't 10 years.
You said 10 years.
It never said 10 years.
You said it.
You started it 10 years, man.
You started it.
This is Michael Eric Dyson.
How you doing, Mr. Michael Eric Dyson?
This is Jess Hilarious.
How you doing?
I'm good.
I heard all the bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
What's going on?
I thought it was just kind of interesting.
Yeah, what's going on?
Let's talk about Beyonce, man, and what she did with Cowboy Carter.
Right.
It's incredible. First of all, she's reunited a constituency of country music
that has been alienated, like rock music.
Black people.
What Beyonce did was reintroduce America.
Allow me to reintroduce myself.
Allow America to understand that country music, right,
is the white blues, and blues might be the black country.
It's a similar aperture.
It's a similar appetite.
It's a similar perspective.
And what she has introduced, she's from Houston.
That's right.
What do you think she listened to besides R&B or soul and rock music and so on?
She listened to country music, to black folk music.
And what she has done is introduced people to folk that they never even knew before.
The black girls backing her up.
You know, Britney Spencer, all of them.
She introduced Linda Martell, who was a great singer and songwriter.
She introduces a black woman.
She introduced her to him.
There's a long tradition of black cowboys, of black country artists,
of people who have been doing stuff and yet
we don't give them credit and beyonce has single-handedly resurrected like she did with
act one when she delved into the history of um dance right you know dance and house music and
to show the gay aesthetic at the heart of that tradition and now coming back with the country
stuff and showing how we've been involved in it uh just the
level of her genius is remarkable i got one last question for you um because we talked about male
vulnerability you know we saw j cole recently apologize uh to kendrick lamar for some like
they was going back and forth on a record right yeah i didn't have no problem with the apology
i feel like you know if you felt if it didn't sit well when he said he didn't sit well with my spirit
right i ain't got nothing else to talk about it didn't sit well, when he said he didn't sit well with my spirit, I ain't got nothing else to talk about.
It didn't sit well with his spirit.
What do you think?
No, I saw you.
You were brilliant about that.
Giving the donkey of the day out to people who don't understand it.
What's interesting to me is how Kendrick Lamar has escaped all scrutiny.
What's interesting to me is that he started this stuff, right?
Why is it that when both Drake and J.ay cole said what he big three they're giving
you love bro they saying you part of big no it ain't no big three is big me okay i get it that's
the bravado of hip-hop and so on look i think um jay cole was mature he wasn't it was half-hearted
anyway it's not my heart's not in it because he could have destroyed him further than more than
that he could have jay cole is a surgeon with those words he's a he's precise he's surgical
in his strikes drake is a monster right jake ain't even responding maybe he'll respond tonight
maybe jay cole i don't think jay cole will maybe it with metro booming and future coming out again
with their deluxe maybe uh kendrick has more to say i think you know look it was mature to say i'm
not gonna take this in a negative fashion i'm not I don't even believe this guy because I love him and appreciate him.
That should shame Kendrick.
I don't think it will.
That should say to Kendrick, what am I doing wrong that three men who are great, two of them recognize me, but I have to be the only one in the sandlot to play with the toys because I'm the greatest.
That's one way of talking about it,
but there are other ways of talking about masculinity.
There are other ways of talking about greatness.
There are other ways of speaking because Drake said he was the coldest,
J. Cole said he was the coldest, and Kendrick said he's the coldest.
But they didn't do it at the expense of you.
They didn't name your name to try to suggest that you are not the bellwether, the benchmark, or the standard by which hip-hop should be judged.
J. Cole, drake and kendrick
have made uh ingenious music and we ain't got to choose one over the other we can have personal
preferences for sure but i think uh kendrick lamar needs to be challenged a little bit to grow up
morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
on this friday and let's get to Jess with the mess. News is real. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying.
She don't spare nobody.
Worldwide Jess. Worldwide
mess.
On the Breakfast Club. She's a
culture shift. She was able to get
y'all to see something and understand
something that nobody could get you to
see. It's time to set it
off okay story story stories quick ones jay-z wants custody of his daughter monaco uh claims
genie ain't around so this is probably why she wanted their the details of the divorce public
you know but he didn't but that's just something quick i ain't diving into it because it's
self-explanatory
that says a lot though when the father wants custody of the child yeah and then he claims
that the mother's not around but that but that's most like cases right when people get divorced
the father fights for custody the mother fights for custody and then they usually
he wants full custody of primary custody yeah yep primary yep scary movie reboot is in the works and will be
released next year i'm actually okay with that there's no way that you can like that that can't
be dated scary movie reboot like the waynes i think the third or fourth time they didn't
19 times i know but i still think like because stuff keeps happening like they just all they
do is like they're just kill a black person early and scared a hell of a lot of white people the
whole movie i don't know i look forward to this i look forward person early and scare the hell out of white people the whole movie. I don't know. I look forward to this.
I look forward to this.
This is like one of the sequels I grew up on, so everyone was funny.
That's just a way of saying, please cast me in a scary movie.
No, it's not.
I want to be in a serious drama, like the one with Denzel and Spike Lee.
They got ice spikes.
They got ice spikes.
They don't need to.
Hey, yo, not they don't need me because they got her, yo.
Oh, my God.
She'll be like, she'll be like, that's going to be the line that she got.
Like, oh, my God.
Anyway, Kevin Durant responds to Fat Joe's claims that he almost got jumped after legendary
Rucker Park game.
But Kevin Durant responded and said, another podcast lie.
But they always say Fat Joe be lying anyway.
So we don't know.
Well, here's the thing.
I don't know if Fat Joe is lying or not because Fat Joe might have known something that anyway so we don't know well here's the thing i don't know if fat joe is lying or not because fat joe might have known something that kevin durant
didn't know that's fact there might have been some people out there that wanted to put the
beats on kd and he ain't even know he ain't know that he got jumped no no they didn't say he got
jumped that he was about to get jumped yes oh he almost wanted to jump him but he scored 80 plus
points at the ruckus right oh okay well it could be a lie. It couldn't be. We don't know.
We don't know.
We'll see.
I guess if Fedjo says something, we'll know.
All right.
Blac Chyna shares her reaction and explains why she appeared in the Where is Wendy Williams
documentary.
Your moment that you shared with Wendy, how did that come about?
I just went over to her house.
And there happened to be cameras?
Yes.
So you had no idea that you were going to be filmed.
I popped up.
So she had no idea you were coming over either. Start off, would you like to just say anything nice for Wendy for
her documentary? And I was like, yeah, sure. And I just said, and that's how that happened.
What did you make of this documentary? A lot of people thought it shouldn't have even been made
in the first place. To be honest, I think it was definitely necessary to be made and make it really
out and honestly happen to anybody. Hopefully, maybe this is going to help other people to see.
It did make me upset to see Wendy, you know, struggling, obviously, with the alcohol.
Like, that was one of my things, struggling with the alcohol.
So I can relate to that and the part about the dimension in that the alcohol is what induced it.
Because that could have been me.
So that I actually actually you know appreciate the
interview that was her she met with entertainment tonight and that was one of the most heartfelt
moments on the documentary i actually bought tears in my eyes to see like how lost for words china
was when she was talking to wendy um a lot of people in the comments was like kind of conflicted
they was like you didn't know that it was you you would be on camera and that they were recording
but you had a whole mic on no she said she said she didn't know when she because she would just pop up on
one she said that they agreed to be friends and when she got there she didn't know that they were
she was just popping up on it and then she didn't know they had before they let her upstairs they
asked her about the documentary and that's why she was mic'd up and then she didn't know what
kind of documentary it it would be and then of, she had to sign a release because her face wasn't blurred.
So she was well aware that it was.
She was made aware of that.
But she said that it was great that they did that.
I just, I would have been like, cut.
Let me put this way back on read.
But anyway.
Have we heard from Wendy or her family or anything at all?
Well, her family.
You know, last thing we heard, her brother said that she is healing.
She's fine.
She's safe.
She's in a facility,
but we haven't heard from Wendy yet.
I think it's always good
to raise awareness to certain issues.
I don't feel like that's what
that documentary was there to do, though.
Absolutely not.
That documentary just felt very exploitive
of everything that Wendy Williams is going through.
It literally was called,
what was it called?
Wasn't it called Where is Wendy Williams?
That's what I'm saying.
It was about her and her whereabouts.
It didn't seem like they were trying to raise awareness
of her issues, her health issues
and things of that nature.
It was almost like people didn't even realize
she had health issues until later on.
Until the second part.
And that's still a standing question.
Where is she? Because people don't know.
Texas high school teacher accused
of using vulnerable students to build a prostitution ring with her son.
Yeah.
Kadria Grisby, 42, and her son, Roger McGee, is 22.
Both face charges of child trafficking and prostitution.
Grigsby is her last name.
Recruited troubled juveniles from local high school by offering them a place to stay, which would be a hotel.
Text messages between Grigsby and her son and between him and three victims show payment of prostitution fees being discussed and how to be transferred.
The three victims age 15, 16 and 17.

What's up, y'all? This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on
with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records.
It's a family friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right.
A podcast for all ages, one you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th.
I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it.
Make sure you check it out.
Hey, y'all. Nimminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families
called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in
to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you
feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how
would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone?
And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child?
These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets.
Some of you have been with us since season one
and others are just tuning in.
Whatever the case and wherever you are,

There were reportedly students at the school
Grigsby taught at and
were reportedly runaways.
She was a teacher. She taught
cosmetology, so it was like a trade school
kind of sort of. But she taught
cosmetology. She would take advantage of the
students that were troubled
and she would, she created
a sex trafficking ring so she was paying them
to have sex with her son.
What kind of energy
do you think you're going
to create around yourself
if you're taking advantage
of poor and disenfranchised
kids like that
who don't have nowhere else to go
but you embrace them
just to turn them
into prostitutes?
Yeah.
I don't care what type
of money you get.
You know what type of energy
that money got on it?
Like, come on, bro. And that's why her and her son are facing charges right now additional
teens have come forward stating grigsby was also attempting to to recruit them while attending
school jesus oh yeah they get about 15 to 20 that's exactly what they get that's horrible
and that is just with us oh my god all right so we got a little bit more time
no all right well that's just what the mess
solomon we're giving that donkey i am giving that donkey to a man named brent george okay brent
george hails from the great state of florida and we having all these conversations about karma
right like the past you know 24 36 hours been a lot of conversations about karma. I'm going to tell you what I believe karma to be
and this is a great example of karma
in action.
We'll get to that next and then comedian and actor and writer
Neil Brennan will be joining us and we'll kick it with him next.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Your execution on the donkey of the day
is something to behold.
Is it a reason?
I gave you donkey of the day and I deserve it.
You need to know what you need to tell
them i am you have the voice tell them it's time for donkey of the day it's a read but you're so
good at it you're trying to be a fake ass charlemagne there's only one charlemagne
damn charlemagne who you give a donkey of the day to now well sexy red donkey of the day for
friday april 12th goes to a 61-year-old man named Brent George.
Brent George is from Florida.
What does your Uncle Sharla always tell you about the great state of Florida?
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida,
and today is no exception.
Now, let's talk karma.
Okay, I was speaking on karma yesterday with some people in a group chat
because, you know, O oj simpson passed yesterday at
76 from prostate cancer and folks was like that's karma that's karma no you digital d heads that's
life okay life expectancy of men in america is 73 and a half years oj lived to be 76 and he died of
prostate cancer prostate cancer is not karma okay prostate cancer is something that can happen to
any and all of us so you should just pray it doesn't happen to you or anyone you love now i'm not 100 sure how karma works but i do know
health issues are not karma okay karma is a natural reaction to your action karma is not
revenge once again it's a natural reaction to your action the relationship between a person's
mental or physical action and the consequences following that action. With that said, I believe what happened to Brent George was karma.
See, Brent was drunk at Disney World.
They said he had three shots and a beer.
And he spotted a family at a table of four.
And one of the four was a young girl with Down syndrome.
And Brent decided in that moment that he wanted to be Andrew Schultz.
He wanted to be Bill Burr. He wanted to be Ryan Davis. He thought he Schultz. He wanted to be Bill Burr.
He wanted to be Ryan Davis.
He thought he was just hilarious.
He wanted to get these jokes off, and then this happened.
Let's go to Fox 5 Orlando for the report, please.
And this man here is accused of getting drunk
and making fun of a woman with disabilities at Epcot.
Orange County deputies say Brent George attacked her family,
and that was after they confronted him.
The cuts on his face are from members of the woman's family who fought back he faces four counts of battery a round of applause to that family okay round of
applause to that family first of all i don't know what the timeline of this story i don't know why
the timeline of this story isn't brent george approaches table of four starts taunting girl
with down syndrome and father beat the hell out of brent
george see i'm reading the timeline and the timeline says he approached the table he started
taunting the girl with down syndrome the girl's mother allegedly confronted george and demanded
to know if he was making fun of her daughter uh then george allegedly shoved the woman twice
then slapped the woman's daughter-in-law in the face when she tried to calm the escalation,
then allegedly punched the husband, Wesley Goldberg, in the neck, who returned the jab
to his face.
That don't sound like that should be the order of events, right?
The wife get pushed twice, then the daughter-in-law got slapped, then the husband gets punched?
No.
As soon as you approach the table cracking jokes on my daughter
with down syndrome the beats should have happened okay instant karma even though i still believe
this was instant karma okay this was a natural reaction to brent's actions that to me is how
karma works okay karma not spending the block karma is not revenge most of what we see happen
to people in life is just life okay sometimes folks live a life of BS,
so when the BS finally catches up,
that's just them reaping what they sow.
It's that simple.
Now, let me show y'all a picture of the guy
so y'all can see how he looked
after he got his ass kicked.
Right?
He earned all of that.
He did.
He earned that.
Come on, get this on camera.
His old ass.
Oh, my God.
He's a drunk.
You know, three shots in a beer.
Okay.
Now, I was talking to Big Mac,
the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee,
and he said we have audio from the actual scene of the crime.
Oh, wow.
Let's hear it.
You that girl out there on that love on the spectrum?
Sir, clearly you're drunk.
I need you to back the hell away from my daughter right now for a bit.
Spectrum, and you damn near look like it.
I'm going to XOX one more time to get the hell away from my door before it be a mother f***er.
Listen, I'll leave as long as I get a bitch with the spectrum.
Oh, okay.
This f***er think I'm playing.
You know what?
Whoop this f***er's ass right now.
Okay.
I can see that.
I can see that happening.
I don't think that's how it happened.
I don't think she's on that show.
No.
No, I don't think so.
But always remember that in life
you are free to choose.
Okay?
You are free to choose.
You are free to make
whatever choice
you want in life
but you are not free
from the consequences
of your choices.
Karma has no menu.
You get what you deserve
and Brent
got what he deserved.
Please let Remy Ma
give Brent George
the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
You stupid mother aref***er.
You dumb.
Mm.
He got what he deserved.
He got what he deserved.
Not mad at it.
Mm.
Can't play with people.
Nope.
Yeah, nah.
That's crazy.
Like, he look like he...
How old was the girl?
I don't think they said
how old she was.
No, he is old.
You're 61.
Like, what?
You are a 61-year-old man man had to hit all three of y'all first to get
hit that's what i don't know i don't understand that chain of events as soon as you come over to
my table making fun of my daughter with yeah and i'm the husband and i'm sitting there you got to
get the beats what are we even talking about you but then you push my wife twice didn't slap what is it what my daughter
in law yeah who ain't really related to me but still you slapped her yeah and
didn't punch me that's when I finally react what we are jumping on yeah saying

Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. back with another special called Crazy Good.
Neil is one of the last of the comedians who actually make special special.
Thank you, Charlamagne.
Thank you for noticing.
And thank you for dissing most of my peers.
They're both at the same time.
Yeah.
Why not get your man who can do both?
Hit it.
Do you feel less pressure putting this one out versus the others?
Like the blocks, three mics?
If you thought
the other ones were on some emo bullshit i hear you this one has no emo-ness to it at all it's
just like this is me like sprinting i like the emo-ness i know i do too but there are people
that are like nah yeah my man was a little too introspective i don't have a problem with that
somebody else you know somebody said that to me about Bill Burr recently.
They were like, Bill might be doing a little too much there.
I'm like, what's wrong with that?
I watched him on here.
It was funny to see him be like that
because it's so not what he's been like.
Bill was sort of weirdly the inspiration
for Three Mics in a weird way
because he had done a thing called The Moth
and he talked about emotional stuff.
But I just did two of them.
And the other thing is I feel better better i don't feel depressed anymore so i didn't i wasn't gonna force it i did crazy good in dc and a dude dm me afterward and was like i kept waiting for
you to show up because he was basically saying like why weren't you sad yeah so i have an
announcement at the beginning of the show like hey i'm not sad so
just enjoy yourself let me ask you a question what what got what got you out of that sad spot
because you've been up here several times yeah and you had a total different like different space
and i was like your friend is not sad today he's not down so what got you into this new space? I call it plant medicine. The cops call them drugs.
Okay.
Honestly, the thing I talked about before, ayahuasca, this thing called DMT, which I don't recommend, but it kind of broke my brain and then it re-congealed into something better and then this past year mdma has been really good for if you do mdma
in a non-party space in my experience it was a god connection mdma that's not ecstasy ecstasy okay
yeah molly i was gonna ask you know were you ever ever fearful of losing that quote-unquote touch
right when you ever speak to sometimes rappers they'd be like i don't want to give up the lean
because that's i think that helps me write better did you ever speak to sometimes rappers, they'd be like, I don't want to give up the lean because I think that helps me
write better.
Did you ever feel like
if I go through,
when I'm going through
the ayahuasca,
whatever you're trying to get
over that bump, that hump,
that you would lose your touch
as a comedian?
I'm of two minds about it,
which is one of them is
it's a reflex at this point.
Like, I've been doing this
like 30 years.
So if a new story happens,
I can kind of like,
meh, you know?
And if I lose it, I had a good run.
Like I started half-baked came out 27 years ago.
So no, I know.
So like I've been I wrote for all that on Nickelodeon.
Like I've been out here.
You wrote.
I was.
Yes, I was fighting the molesters.
And like I've been doing this a long ass time.
So if I lose the touch, I lose the touch.
But what I found is the touch is a reflex at this point.
Like I just, my brain does it.
The touch, did you see any of that?
A Nickelodeon?
Thank you for bringing that up.
I didn't see any of it, Charlemagne,
but I'm against it yeah so i hope so
now we're on the record and uh hopefully this will hold up in court jesus christ no i didn't see that
yeah no now all your specials have a great name but it's not just names if you've seen three mics
you know why it's called three mics yeah if you've seen blocks you know why it's called blocks i'm assuming crazy good is just crazy good uh crazy
good is actually okay so one of the parts of the special is making fun of the commodification of
mental health like making fun of tiktok psychology and all that i'm not against it but i just feel
like the amount of people making videos about trauma and all the diagnoses of like you're being gaslit just all that stuff
is so aggravating it's so aggravating and it's also dishonest because none of these people have
any idea what they're talking about they just heard it on another tiktok so i'm basically
toward the end i'm saying dude go to therapy take take medication, do all the stuff you got to do.
But just know that most of the great things in life are from psychopaths and drug addicts.
Damn.
Jesus.
I mean, if I'm wrong, let me know.
Expound on that.
All right.
All the inventors.
Sigmund Freud.
Okay.
Open coke head.
Yep.
Most of Freud's books should be called this.
Maybe the cocaine talking like there he was a
coke head uh like yeah women are jealous of our dicks yeah uh like it's real cokie edison did coke
the wright brothers i don't know if they were on meth but they had the methiest idea which is like
hey do you feel like you can fly uh the modern inventors elon musk uh he does ketamine something
yeah ketamine or he's just out of his
mind and then i get into like well what about musicians okay the rolling stones had in order
to tour america had to get a doctor to test them for drugs every day and uh the doctor lasted six
weeks before he got hooked on cocaine damn yeah hip-hop lean weed weed
and and then i do comedians well are you guys all psychopaths and drug addicts i'm like so far
richard pryor drug addict george carlin drug addict bill cosby choose your own adventure um
the modern ones like you know lenny bruce a drug addict john belushi's a drug addict john
mulaney told me to remind people he's a drug addict in the bed like people were all something
so i'm not saying don't treat it i'm not saying ride it but i'm just saying the audience needs
to accept that we're not the other thing that's been happening is like comedians are like moral
leaders like dave or or being a good it's like why it's there are these serious issues and you
know like transgender rights and stuff and then how bankrupt are other segments of society that
they finally were like well what do the clowns think why are you asking us what we think about these the this
should have never gotten to our desk it's for politicians and clergy and other leaders but like
don't turn to joe rogan for vaccine advice yeah i think there's one, though. I would say when I watch George Carlin now, he was very prophetic.
Yeah, yes.
But I can name a bunch of real dark s***.
He had a bit about bulimia.
Rich s*** won't eat.
F***er.
Not exactly the most ethical take.
He went both ways.
So, again, we can be but the job no one moves out
to la to be righteous yeah yeah everyone moves out there to be funny and famous you know and
it's the same thing with like is ellen nice is ellen and i'm like first of all ellen's hilarious
a and b she's a gay rights icon like like i don't i don't need her to be she came
out on television got kicked off television for being gay and then came back and dominated but
that's not enough for people they're like yeah but is she nice it's so childish it's like being like
is my car also a boat just appreciate that you have a car also is ellen nice how many nice lesbians
have you ever
met in your entire life you know what i mean guys i say we don't talk about toxic studs enough
i say it often i know yeah uh step up toxic toxic studs all right when we come back we got more with
neil brennan so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj
nv just hilarious charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Neil Brennan.
You know, with your resume and your talent and all the things that you've done and how funny you are,
do you feel like you get overlooked a lot by the public?
Like you should be a bigger comedian?
Like you said, the years that you put in this industry from writing, from being on stage, from telling jokes, all that.
You know, I could say yes or no because I kind of feel like there's no one who I feel like, put in this industry from writing from being on stage and telling jokes all that uh you know i
could say yes or no because i kind of feel like there's no one who i feel like i deserve there
i should be in their place you know what i mean like when and i also feel like certain people
the the people that are like people that do arenas or whatever it's like they have real
performance attributes that i don't necessarily
have like they're just really they walk on stage and you're like well this is gonna be i always
tell kevin hart he is sunshine he's sunshine yeah i direct some of those chase commercials
you cut to that mother in a close-up the sun is shining that's right it can be an
it can be in a in a house he's like, let me tell you something, Charlemagne.
Dave is Bugs Bunny.
He just is Bugs Bunny.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Chris Rock talks like a chainsaw.
Like Ellen sounds like a flute and a baby.
Jerry Seinfeld sounds like a clarinet.
So all these people,
I mean, and I clearly
have thought about it, but it's, again,
the gratitude thing. You've had a great
career, Neil. I've had a, dude, I've had
an amazing... Why are we talking to Neil like he's dying?
I have an announcement to make, everybody.
So, no, but
that's the thing. It's like, I could
focus on, like, why not but the last
six months to a year i've just been like this is amazing like i'm either in the ring or i have
ringside seats gotcha for for life it's not like forever but like so far you know what are your
thoughts on comedians critiquing other comedians about two things in particular one whether or not
another comedian is funny and two uh this i think it's to me it's kind of a new phenomenon comedians saying
other comedians are making offensive jokes because we was talking about that this week with uh gerard
carmichael yeah and dave chappelle because he said first he was saying you know dave's whole legacy
is transgender jokes and then he said dave's an egomaniac but then literally and i said i said
you should not criticize a comedian about anything offensive
because it could happen
to you in a second,
and literally,
less than 12 hours later,
they're on Gerard
about what he said
on his HBO show
and being a role-playing
slave and master
with his wife.
Yeah,
it's like me too
and somebody.
It's like,
we can all get popped
for tons of anything
if you've been doing it
long enough.
You did a podcast.
We all do so many podcasts, you don't even remember.
And then someone goes, remember that?
And you're like, no, but that is my... I guess
I said that. So that's the thing
of casting the first stone.
It's a dangerous game
because everyone... It's like mutually assured
destruction. Basically, once you start
pointing fingers,
it's going to be Spider-Man
in any minute.
You know, Bill Burr spoke about being on Chappelle's show back in the day.
Did you know that all of those guys, the Burrs, the Rogans, the Donnell Rollins, Charlie Murphy,
did you know all of these people would end up being, except for Donnell, icons in their own right?
Yeah, I mean, I remember when Bill auditioned and Dave was like, thank God he can act.
Because that dude's really funny.
And Charlie and all I remember about doing the show is just it was very hard.
But it was very gratifying to be able to have like small ideas with me and Dave and then being able to expand them.
Because the Charlie, I don't know if I've told you that but like we me and dave wrote
half-baked we turned it in in 1997 we have a celebratory mushroom night and uh and this is
when i wasn't using uh medicine for healing it was back when i was just using it to party baby
and we have we do mushrooms go to club and i see dave talking to this guy and i'm like is it like
eddie murphy's brother like fat brother and then'm like, is it like Eddie Murphy's brother?
Like, fat brother?
And then I go over, and it's Charlie.
I didn't know him.
I'm on mushrooms, and Charlie's like holding court.
Like, me and my brother came out here, did it, it was the only real motherfuckers here,
and did it, it was Jerry Curls and all that shit.
And he kept talking about Hollywood, and Charlie was going,
there's poison in ice cream.
There's this motherfucking, there's poison. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,

Hey, y'all. Nimany here.
I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets.
How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time,
he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a
secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few
of the powerful and profound questions
we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets.
Some of you have been with us since season one,
and others are just tuning in.
Whatever the case, and wherever you are,
thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family,

But the gag is not everything is a mess.
Sometimes it's just living.
Yeah, things like J-Lo on her third divorce.
Living.
Girls trip to Miami.
Mess.
Oh, Zempik.
Messy, skinny living.
Restaurant stealing a birthday cake.
Mess.
Wait, what flavor was the cake though?
Okay, that's a good question.
Hooking up with someone in accounting and then getting a promotion.
Living.
Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live.
Living.
It's kind of mess.
Yeah.

An ice cream.
So then me and Dave would say, there's poison in ice cream for like years.
Then we were writing that real world sketch and we were like, you know, we should get
Charlie Murphy, see if he can do it.
And then based on doing
shrooms with him five years earlier and being like it's something about that guy wow so i guess there
and then and then snowballed into and then he tells the rick james story he tells the prince
story he and then it just became it changed all of our lives so it's i you know it's like taking
credit for it seems wrong because it's we all got
so much from it from having him on the show he tells a story that my life it's like you know
before and after that sketch eric like i could almost tell you the date it was 20 years ago
like recently wow could a show like that exist ever again i think you could probably figure out a way to do the sketches but in terms of impact it was one it was like one funnel like culture was one funnel the and so you
would get it like go to the funnel and get what came out and now there's a million funnels on all
of our phones so you just go like i subscribe to 40 funnels. But it used to be there was only one place to go or three places to go.
So I guess Comedy Central wasn't as big before Chappelle's show,
but it was always big.
And then, yeah, so you could probably do the sketches,
but I don't think it would have the thing where everyone's watching it.
Gotcha.
I don't think.
Do you guys think?
It depends who the talent is.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's possible, but it't think. Do you guys think? It depends who the talent is. Yeah. It depends who's doing it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's possible, but it's unlikely.
Yeah.
Okay.
No, Dave always says, like, people are probably not going to be famous again the same way I was.
Duh.
No way.
That's been over.
I know.
But it is an interesting thing of, like, why not?
And you go, because it's, you can't, it's the funnel problem.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, I was, you know, Mike mean like i was you know mike myers
like i was talking to mike myers the committee and we were talking about showbiz and he was
he was talking about showbiz and i as he was talking i was like in one decade mike myers was
wayne from wayne's world shrek dr evil and austin powers you could run for president. One guy. Wow. One guy.
He's Canadian.
Oh.
One guy in 10 years.
In 10, like, damn.
So that, and he goes,
yeah, it was a monoculture.
And now it's like
sort of more of a free-for-all.
80s, 90s celebrity
is so powerful,
literally,
you can get elected
president of the United States
of America.
Yeah.
It's a different level
of celebrity.
Yeah.
Black or white. It's just a different level of celebrity yeah black all white you know it's just a different level of celebrity yeah it is like the last of the like tom
cruz yes madonna yes i saw you two at the sphere like they're real and they sold 750 000 tickets
in two months it's like that's a lot of tickets but that's when it was real fandom real talent
and the barrier of entry was way more difficult
to get in any of these spaces.
Yeah, you had to be talented
or you had to be like...
Because I don't think Madonna or Tom Cruise are the most,
but they're really good at...
Madonna doesn't have the best singing voice.
Tom Cruise probably doesn't have the best acting instrument,
but they were good.
They took the job seriously.
That's right.
Tom Cruise is like jumping rope.
Like doing shit to make himself.
His last movie, he did his own stunts.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Yep.
That's all.

That's not even funny.
I'm not.
Look, I was at Dreamville Fest, and I had a really good time.
This is my first time actually working it.
So I used to, well, I attended the very first one.
The next one, I snuck backstage.
The third one, I was invited backstage.
And now this one, I actually got to work.
So it was really cool.
You were hosting the post show for Amazon, right?
Yeah, Amazon Music.
You, Wayno, Speedy, Amber Grimes.
Amber Grimes.
Yo, Amber Grimes is so dope.
Shout out to Amber.
But I'm going to get into the first track for today.
It's from Chris Patrick, and it's called Take Time From Myself Off His New Project Com.
I used to want to save the world till I realized saving the world don't do much for a diggin'.
At the end of the day, I could die for the cause.
Folks still want to fuck off with a diggin'.
I seen it real time, both eyes during my deal sign.
Transformation, cancellation, amputations, empty taking over.
Damage made my ramp
around my soul.
Just pray to God
salvation found its way.
Salvation never found.
Instead of me plotting
course for project three,
my landlord taking me to trial.
At the end of the day,
you can save the world
for an N-word.
Yeah.
And they still won't
F with an N-word.
You felt that?
What?
God damn.
Drop one of Clues Bomb
for that young man.
I gotta do this
for that old record.
Chris Patrick.
He's from Jersey.
So shout out to Chris. I just had him on my podcast if you need to talk. So definitelyues Bomb for that young man. I got to do this for that old record. Chris Patrick. He's from Jersey. So shout out to Chris.
I just had him on my podcast, We Need to Talk.
So definitely tap in for that.
Excuse me, Chris Patrick.
FDs and words.
I'm with you, Chris.
Oh my God.
Okay.
That's all Solomon heard.
That's all Solomon heard.
I'm with you.
I don't hear what you're saying.
Next up is going to be Future and Metro Boomin with Red Leather.
You know, Cole, the surprise feature on the record.
And I'm still Team Greenville, so let's get into it.
Red Leather. Like a chicken with his head cut off Through the streets with a freak slug And leather on my shoulder blades
And my older age see the error of my ways
But I'm still not totally over all the temptation
Flute Dog, you clowns yelling and screaming
All over your podcast
And all over social media
Acting like y'all not gonna mess with Cole no more
But as soon as the fall off drop
You gonna be using Cole's penis for transportation again
Now Cole get busy
For transportation again, Jesus
Cole gets busy, you can't deny that Like he's nice He's one of the nicest out there I don't know why people are acting like he penis for transportation again now coke get busy transportation again jesus coke coke is busy you
can't deny that like he's nice he's one of the nicest out there i don't know why people are
acting like he he because he apologized whatever he said that he's whack you know what's so weird
about that too though you're acting like you don't mess with cole musically because of something he
said that had nothing to do with music right yeah you know what i'm saying i can understand if he
dropped like a super whack project he's like i'm. But he just apologized, and now you're acting like
he never made good music, and he still don't?
What was blowing me is people saying,
I can't even listen to him no more.
It invalidates the lines that he said before.
But in reality, a lot of your favorite rappers
use Ghostwriter, so what's the difference
between a Ghostwriter and him?
But Cole said he's never been tough.
I don't understand how invalid.
He always said he's not a tough guy. He's a conscious rapper, not a knock Like, I don't understand how it validates. He always said he's not a tough guy.
But even with that...
He's a conscious rapper, not a knockoff.
I don't even know what...
Exactly.
They're acting like this verse has something to do with what happened at Dreamville.
It doesn't.
It's two totally different things.
He's talking about being tough in life.
Yep.
And, you know, he's not talking about what happened at Dreamville.
I do have one thing to say about Cole, though.
A question.
I thought Cole was married.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. He be rapping about sleeping with a lot of women. I thought Cole was married. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
He be rapping about sleeping with a lot of women.
He literally just said in this verse.
Said it's daddy.
No, he just said in this verse.
I'm like, I know that that don't mic to me later.
And in that verse.
He said he be having temptation, but he's only committed to one.
No, he said he's a conscious rapper who will sleep with a woman, another man's girlfriend
every now and then.
That's what he said.
He said he could. I thought
he was talking about old life. Like, I used
this used to be my life. Yeah, don't. You trying
to get him jammed up. He's in enough
water right now.
By the way, that's the smoke. That's right. That's the smoke.
You need to duck. I'm sorry.
My bad. I'm in the car. No problems at home. Just asking
questions. That's all. Yes. Shout out to
Cole. I'm actually excited because
you know, people were mad about the apology
But actually now he might have a number one
So I think that's cool
It's between him and Beyonce
So shout out to Cole
I feel like we deserve it
But next I'm going to go with
L'Oreal and Megan Thee Stallion

I don't even wanna think about that.
Like, let's go, Megan.
It could turn something into something else, yo.
No, man.
But that was good.
I feel like people be questioning Meg's pen and Meg's placement,
but I feel like she's right where she needs to be.

I like that.
