This is an I-Heart podcast. Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless Media, campside media, and big money players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he's still,

from the rich and gifts to the poor, I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million that had not bought a ticket

to help him escape. So we're saying like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example. Listen to Crimless, Hillbilly Heist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Cal Penn.

And on my new podcast, here we go again. We'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? Each week, I'm calling up my friends like Bill Nye, Lily Singh, and Pete Buttigieg to talk about everything from the space race to movie remakes to psychedelics. Put another way, are you high? Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now.

But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to Here We Go Again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I live below a cult leader and I fear I've angered her. Wait a minute, Sophia. How do you know she's a cult leader? Well, Dakota, luckily it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week on the OK Storytime podcast. So we'll find out soon. This person writes, my neighbor has been blasting music every day and doing dirt rituals.

and now my ceiling is collapsing. I try to report them, but things keep getting weirder. I think they might be part of a cult. Hold up, a real-life cult? And what is a dirt ritual? No clue, Dakota. To find out how it ends, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Two rich young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one of them will end up dead and the other tried for murder three times. It starts with a dream, a nature of us. and a spectacular new home. But little by little, they lose it, they actually lose it.

They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, USA!

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Just hilarious. Wake that ass up. Charlotte Maine Nicole. Peace to the planet, it's Monday. How y'all feel out there? I feel blessed black and highly favored. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. Good morning.

What's happening? Good morning. How was everybody's weekend? It was good. Man, Charlotte always shows me a good time. Man, it's always a bunch going on in Charlotte. Always. Yes, I was performing right next door to Givion.

Did not even know. Really? So Givon was there. Yeah, and then Halloween, they celebrate Halloween, like, crazy down there. parties at every club. And where the Comedy Zone is, it's like right near the Amphitheater, the Fillmore, everything like that. So like, it was

chaotic and it was crazy. It wasn't like chaotic in a bad way. But it was just so much going on. Yes. And I know I said that I was going to give away a cash prize to the person that showed up in the best Halloween costume. But it wasn't set up for that. I didn't lie. Shut up. I wanted to. I wasn't even able to do meet and greet because it just wasn't

set up for that. But shout out to Charlotte Comedy Zone and all the staff. Tammy, the security, oh my God, amazing. And the server, my girl, Stacey. So I just love Charlotte. It was nice, it was nice. But I'm sorry I wasn't able to do meet and greet or give away the cash prize.

It wasn't set up for that at all. Okay. Well, salute to everybody that did the Halloween trick-or-treating thing. I did it early. And the best thing about it is ending earlier and earlier and earlier. I was back home like at 8 o'clock. I'm pointless, man. I don't be honest with you.

It's pointless. What? Trick-treating? Yes, we really got to start treating it like a. a catching release, meaning like how when you go fishing, which I never understood. People just like to do that for the sport. Go out there and fish, catch the fish, and throw it back in. It's the same

thing now. It's like, you go out, you get all of this candy, then you got to go through it to make sure it ain't no goddamn edibles or nothing like that. And then it's just like you barely let the kids eat it. Right. What's the point? Because it's a lot. I didn't even go through it. What I did was, I have candy at home that we bought. We just swapped it out. Oh, okay. Anybody go

upstairs, take a shower, put your clothes on, just swap it out. But what if they had better candy. I know what the kids like. You don't think it's better candy. Yeah, this is all the same. Some people get. Trollies, it's Hershey's, as Hershey's, it's...

Well, you know, this is what the kids, really, like, the kids like the full-sized stuff. Yeah. So, they don't like the little bite-sized stuff. Whoever house giving out the big Hershey balls and the big kick-cats and all that, that's what they want to do. No, I like certain candy.

Like, no, like, you know, like the 100 grand bars and the peanut shoes and all that. Now, I don't like all that. I want snickers. I like Skittles specifically. I like Recy. Yeah, that's all you see out there. Like, yeah, you know what I'm saying?

So they, oh, you see, Hershey, skittles, the trolleys. We can even, there's people grilling hot dogs. Oh, no, that's right. They got cotton candy. Oh, my God, cotton candy house. Yeah, I waited on line for 30 minutes for that kind of candy. Not me. You all crazy.

But not for me personally. My daughter wanted it. Okay, okay, okay. Well, I know when I was growing up, some houses didn't have good candy. So I threw that out of way. Well, but. All right. Well, let's get what you're saying.

Let's get the show cracking. Your president, Donald Trump was on 60 minutes last night. Did you see it? That's your president. too you're an American citizen right you're right unless you want to claim Dominican now I'm not Dominican you don't want to do that right now I'm not Dominican yeah

he was on 60 minutes last night Mimi will break all that down what he said his thoughts on the mayoral race and everything that's going on so we'll break that down next you don't go anywhere wake your ass up it's a Monday morning everybody is DJ NV Jess Alarish Sholomey and the guy we are the breakfast club let's getting some front page

news now congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers they won the 2025 World series. Let me tell you something. I don't watch baseball at all. Okay, but I watched the last, what, I watched from, I think, eighth inning to the end of the game? Yeah. That was pretty exciting.

Yeah. That was pretty cool. Guys are a great team. They are really good team. God just get busy. All right, now in football, all right. The 49ers beat the Giants. The Vikings beat the Lions. The Chargers, beat the Titans. The Patriots beat the Falcons. The Steelers beat the Colts. The Bears beat the Bengals. The Broncos beat the Texans. The Panthers,

the Rams beat the Saints. The Bills beat the Chiefs and the Jaguars. beat the Raiders. Seahawks beat the commanders. And Monday night for the bowl! The Arizona Cardinals take on the Cowboys at 815. Late game. All right. What's up, Mimi?

Good morning, NVee. Josh. Chalemaine, how y'all doing this Monday morning? Blessing like a highly favorite. Good morning. All right. Well, we start this morning on day 34. The government shut down where the Trump administration faces a noon deadline to tell a federal judge whether it will keep food assistance flowing

for millions of Americans. A two, federal judges, one in Rhode Island and the other in Boston, have now ordered the Agriculture Department to release November SNAP benefits, calling the suspension likely unlawful. Now, nearly 42 million people depend on those benefits to buy food. We've been talking about this, and over the week, the weekend, the impact was hard to miss, long-lined at food banks, and in some states, stadium parking lots turned into dry-through food sites to help families sort out what's left. Now, 25 Democratic-led states have sued the Trump administration demanding that the USDA used billions in emergency funds that Congress set aside to cover those November payments. But the administration says those funds were meant for natural disasters and not shutdowns. And while it won't appeal the ruling, Trump officials say there isn't enough money to go around. So there's about $5 billion available, but that is short of the $9 billion they say needed for a full month of benefits, meaning it would only cover about half of November. Meanwhile, President Trump in his first 60 minutes interview in five years is defending his handling of the shutdown and blaming Democrats for the stalemate.

Let's listen to that. All we're doing is we keep voting. I mean, the Republicans are voting almost unanimously to end it and the Democrats keep voting against ending it. They've lost their way. They become crazed lunatics. And all they have to do, Nora, is say, let's vote. And if they don't vote, that's their problem. Now, I happen to agree to something else.

I think we should do the nuclear option. This is a totally different nuclear, by the way. It's called ending the filibuster. Now that filibuster, that's the Senate rule that lets party, the party with the fewer votes block a bill unless 60 Democrats agree to move it forward. So if it were gone, Republicans could pass a spending bill without Democratic support.

At the center of the fight is health care Democrats want the tax credits that lower monthly premiums extended before. reopening the government. Republicans say they want to deal with that later after a new funding bill passes. President Trump also spoke about that during the interview. Let's listen to that. We can make it much less expensive for people and give them much better health care. And I'd be willing to work with the Democrats on it. The problem is they want to give money to prisoners, to drug dealers, to all these millions of people that were allowed to come in with an open border from Biden and

nobody can do that. And I'm saying we can fix it, Nora. You have helped end these government shutdowns in the past when they came about and you did it by bringing I'm very good at it. I'm not going to do it by I'm not going to do it by extortion. I'm not going to do it by being extorted by the Democrats who have lost their way.

You know what? I don't understand. Maybe you can explain it to me. The health care is going to go up anyway because of the big, beautiful bill because that didn't include the extension of the tax credits to keep the cost down. So if it's going up anyway, what's the point of Democrats taking the stand to keep the government still close? At this point, you're right, because the premiums, which the open enrollment started, what, this weekend, November 1st. And so people are getting those letters in the mail.

In fact, one person in Utah, a woman in Utah, she told ABC News that she opened her bill and saw that her monthly premium had already jumped from about $400 a month, Charlemagne, to over $2,000 a month. and so at this point it's like what's going to happen is it retroactive like how is this going to work as we continue to go forward so you're absolutely right and the premiums are set for a year so at this point if the premiums have already gone up if they set for a year

at least give the people some relief and get the government back open but could you imagine your premium $2,000 because then you got to make a decision if you do feel sick right because you're not going to pay that premium so you're going to say I don't want insurance if you do feel sick you got to pick and choose when you're going to the hospital when you're not. You know, you got to try

home remedies first, or hopefully that works so you don't got to pay the cost of hospital bills, which is crazy. I just, Democrats, you fought, it seemed like you lost the fight. At this point, you know, gone, give it up, at least give the people some relief by getting the government back

open. These people get these snap benefits, let these government workers get their checks. We don't need all of this craziness at the TSA during the holidays. Like, I think you lost. Is civil continue to watch. I feel like they lost. It's over. It's crazy.

It's, it depends on what you're fighting for. Seems like a pride thing now. Yeah. All right. Is that it? Do we have time for one more? No. Uh-uh. When we come back next hour. All right. Sounds good. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-58-105-105.1. If you need the vent, phone lines are wide open.

Jay Cole don't rap better than Little Wayne? Yes, he do. I'm sorry. When it comes to lyricism? Lyricism. Scarface and Ti, bro? Yes. Oh, T.I.

First of all, like, none of them see J. Cole when it comes to cadets, delivery, slow, lyrics, no matter where it is. All of that. I'm not even arguing. I'm not arguing. It's silly. I'm not having this debate. We can fight. Bye.

You wasn't even outside. You wasn't even outside when Jake, when T.I. and Wayne and Scarface was killing things. Travis said we could fight. Right. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's for Manti. What's good, man?

What's up, Trim. What's up? What's up, Mijit? What's going on? Telling, my brother, man. Just want to get off my chest about the fashion gang. I know how I do, bro. This Lamonti, man.

I made that hoodie for Angela Lee a long time ago, and Shaan was hating on me. But I love you, brother, man. I ain't got no hate for you, man. I'm still out here pushing, man. Seven years strong, bro. Seven years strong. What I was hating about.

I'd be forgetting. Back of the day, man, I caught up there and talking about fashion. You're like, man, you ain't nothing, man. You were hating back in the day. But now you did for the man. So it's cool, man. And I also want to get up my chest,

I ain't got no hatred for you, man. I swear to God, man, I used to hate you. But now I don't, man. It's cool, man. I swear to die. I ain't going to hate for you, bro. Even though I could have made it, man, if you would have just been on my side when I was going to wait.

Don't start that now. That ain't got nothing to do with me. That ain't got nothing to do with me. It was probably just didn't like it. Like, people get mad when you say something's trash. It might have been trashed. I don't remember saying, I've never seen his clothes to say it was trash. No, he said you seen it.

He said she was wearing it. Sounds like you. Damn, you told it was trash she was wearing it. Does that sound like it? Absolutely. Damn. All right. Get it off your chest.

That hoodie trash. Sound like him. Damn, man. Sound like him. 800, 585, 105. Get it off your chest is the breakfast club. Good morning. Damn, you know.

The Breakfast Club This is your time to get it off your chest Whether you're mad or blessed 800-585-105-1 We want to hear from you on the breakfast club Hello who's this This is Mark from Jersey Mark what up bro

How are you feeling? Yeah man I'm disappointed with Charmaine Shalaman Why are you mad at Sharmaine? Why are you mad at Sharmine? Yeah, he's right there. I just hear his voice. He's talking about Democrat law.

They didn't lost shit. Use my language. I'm disappointed with Tom ain't. Tell me why they didn't. Tell me why they didn't lose. Because they didn't give up yet. But listen to what I'm saying. The health care is going up anyway because the big, beautiful bill didn't include the extension

of the tax credits to keep the cost down. So if it's going up anyway, what's the point of continuing to take a stand for people's health care not to go up? It don't make no logical sense. They lose nothing And what is that going to do to the American people But that means that more federal workers Still ain't going to be getting their paychecks

That means people are not going to get their snap benefits That means the airport's going to be ridiculous So what's the win You give in too quick, bro That's all I got to say Yeah, because I don't want to see people Facing eviction I don't want to see people not being able to pay

their freaking light bills I want to see people being able to eat for the holidays Hello, who's this Yo, what happens, Keith from Brooklyn, you heard Good morning Brooklyn you heard Good morning. What's going on?

Good morning. Hey, Joe, boy, what's that? Hey, man. Yo, all right. So I got some, I got a little smoke for Charlemagne. Go ahead. So,

I want to give credit to a caller that called up there Friday and she gave y'all donkey the day for the part that the media played at Downshaw being president. Oh, Lord. Because, you know what?

And I love how, because Charlemagne loves to deflect, right? Because on Friday, he was like, oh, you need to go read this book and we're not talking about the role that Cabala Harris played or Joe Biden played. We're talking specifically about the role that the media played and talking about this man every single day

when you could have been talking about Nikki Haley. Mickey Haley? Yeah, Nicky Haley. We talked about this already. Nicky, my girl. So you thought Nikki Haley was a better option than Donald Trump and Joe Biden? I thought Nikki Haley was definitely a better option

than Donald Trump on the Republican side. Absolutely. Could have been talking about him every day. y'all talked about true social who has true social why y'allel up true social but why would we be talking about Nikki Haley

when she wasn't even running she was the primary in the election Shalene now you know I called up there during the election and I said why y'all talk about that guy every day

when y'all could be talked about Nikki Haley that was during the primary it was only it was only Nicky Haley was not one of the nominees no but she was running in the primary before the Republican Shalding you remember

I called up there during the Republican primary I said why are y'all talking about hold on so you don't remember me saying during the primaries, I think Republicans are dropping the ball by not getting behind Nicky Hill? Yeah, and I told you, I said, I can count on

on two hands how many times you mentioned that. You mentioned Donald Trump every single day, man, wasn't even the president yet, and y'all sat there and talked about him every single day. I'm not the only call and I said that because the call on a Friday thought the same thing. You can't ignore Donald Trump, guys. I don't know what this logic

is that y'all think you can ignore Donald Trump, but ignoring Donald Trump got him a second term. No, they said you got him a second term. I know it's completely my fault blame you it's all you hello who's this this is borlo

barno what's up what you're calling from I'm calling for Newport New Virginia 757 what's up get it off of your chest brother well I just want to say hello to Ms. Jess

Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lily Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future.

Well, wait a minute, Sophia. How do you know she's a cult leader? Well, Dakota, luckily it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week on the OK Storytime podcast, so you'll find out soon. This person writes, my neighbor's been blasting music every day and doing dirt rituals, and now my ceiling is collapsing. I try to report them, but things are. keep getting weirder. I think they may be part of a cult?

Hold up, Sophia. A real-life cult? And what is a dirt ritual? No clue. But according to this person, contractors are tearing down the patio to find out what's going on with their ceiling, and her neighbors are not happy. Well, she needs to report them ASAP. She did!

In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stunned.

But three times. John and Ann Bender are rich. and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular, circular home, high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control.

Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio. app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort

to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's also how you look

during COVID too, though. I mean, he is 56 years old. Yeah, he's not able to dye his hair. I mean, yeah. I think it's just really the hair. I'm not saying his skin or whatever he looks. He's not, I'm not saying he's deteriorating, but no, like his, don't tell me out there trying to say I said did he look like an elder? I don't think he is no, no, no, I think he is an eldest. His birthday's tomorrow, actually, but yeah, he's He can get a discounted at eye hop right now.

Not right now. Yeah, right now. But when he get home. Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. There's some stress in there, too, of course. Of course. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So it's going to aid you.

But noticeably in those photos, he's on the yard with other inmates and they're in conversation. He's smiling. He's smiling. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the first time that a lot of people not only have seen him, but when you hear all the stories about how he's breaking down the court and he's in tears, a lot of people were pointing out the fact that he looked in good.

spirits. I guess as best as he could look while there. And, you know, for Dick's we talked about it. They were asking for him to go there because of the location for the visiting of his family, but also because it's low level security. So that means like on the BOP website, they say that there are a lot more staff to inmates. So things are a bit more controlled. A lot of times the prisoners that you have in the low security prisons, their crimes aren't as violent. Some of the times, this prison that is at right now, now currently actually houses 4,128 inmates. So it's a bit on the smaller side.

And he now has a new job as well. TMZ is also reporting that he will be there washing people's clothes, working in the laundry room for his time behind bars. So a bit of an update on Diddy's Life right now. It's good to see him around people smiling and stuff, you know, whatever the conversation is. You know what I mean? It does.

He seems very comfortable just from this photo. Yeah. Well, I'm sure he was like that in the other jail, but they just could get no pictures. but I was curious to who took the picture like was it a guard or was it an inmate with a cell phone like how would they get in these pictures of Diddy? I can't answer that question

was definitely probably a guard they got cell phones in the jail you never know it could also too because it's been publicized that he's there it could also be a paparazzi as well too because if you see the angle of the photos and how it's kind of shot through the gate right that's why I was saying that gives a paparati angle

so I reached out to the prison itself and I also reached out to Diddy's team I know that the Neither one of them would probably be able to answer the question or probably won't give that to me. But my first thought was because everything with him is so high risk and high security, this had to piss somebody love that these photos got. Paparazzi couldn't get this close. They couldn't get this close to a jail. This is probably somebody.

This is probably inside of the inside, shooting out outside. Like that ain't no paparazzi pick. Listen, I hope he pays his debt to society. I pray he uses this moment to get started on his healing journey. I hope he repents for all this sins. The only thing you should be doing when you're in these correctional facilities is trying to get some correction. So, you know, I hope he comes out of better human. And to my knowledge, the reason he has to work is that's part of his good behavior to get less time.

So they give you a jail job. So that's part of your good behavior. It takes off the time. I thought you got to work in prison regardless. Some people don't. You don't have to. You don't have to. Well, in other news, over the weekend, there was a story or there was a video actually that circulated after Meek Mills had tweeted that he had been placed in handcuffs in New York.

He was detained in New York. He was outside of a Harbor nightclub. So I broke a story after speaking to. law enforcement sources because I'm trying to figure out why he was placed in handcuffs like what happened so in the video you see meek and he is you know just yelling that

this is embarrassing why am I in cuffs he then tweets about it and says that the police tried to embarrass him they threw him in cuffs outside of a club in New York and he tweeted like super late night early morning after leaving the club so according to law enforcement sources a DCI spokesperson spokesperson told me that on Saturday

this was around four a little bit after 4 o'clock in the morning And police responded to reports of a mail with a firearm in a vehicle in the vicinity of West 46th Street and 12th Avenue. That's the cross street of the club. And they say within the confines of this area, they did an investigation because police stopped three mails in a vehicle matching the description that they were given in the license plate number provided by a witness. And there was no firearm recovered. They said that the investigation was completed at the time and no arrests were made. So Meek and his friends were able to be let go.

and he then responded to this posting you know my update and basically said you know police did all of this because of some bad information and he posted another video of him being placed in handcuffs everybody outside the club of course it's a big spectacle because it's meat meals and he's in handcuffs you know so yeah all of that for nothing yeah the worst part about that is all you get is an apology

yeah you know after they detain you put you in handcuffs you know search your vehicle yeah don't find nothing all you and by the way you might not even get that Because you might just get a, all right, you're free to go. Well, there is protocol when people do call and say that somebody does have a gun. They have to definitely check it. But I would say, they release every phone call ever. Well, how can we, I would love to hear that phone call.

Let me hear somebody calling in and saying my call with my plate was holding a gun. I would, like, as somebody that would have got pulled over, I would want to hear that for myself and not the fact that you just pulled me over because you thought I had something. Yeah, I just, I mean, also too, I feel like the, like, why does the detaining have to involve? of cuffs. Like, why can it be because if there's a gun in the car, they want to make sure that they don't have any guns on their person, that they can't run. So that is absolutely positive. When they have a reasonable

suspicion, that's what they do. I mean, it sucks, but that's what they do. Especially if it's a gun. Yeah, especially when you're like a meek mills, but I mean maybe the police didn't know. And it's just not that he would be treated any differently. It's just, it causes a bigger spectacle when it is a person that people know.

And black people love to put essence on people names. His name is not Mick Mills. It's just meek mill. His name ain't even meek mill. Well, I know it's rummy. But it's not mills. I ain't never letting the S go for meek Mills. That one, we're going to keep.

Okay. Yeah, I hate how they got a handcuff you when they detaining you and searching your vehicle and all of that stuff. But, you know, it's protocol because they do it for their own safety. Yes. They think that you might run. Why, I don't know. Or if you have a weapon, you can grab a weapon because you would know where it is.

So that's protocol. But like I said, I would love to hear the call of somebody calling in saying that my exact car. with my exact plate seeing me holding a gun because I would think it's BS. Crazy. Yeah, I've also asked to, but no response. I wanted to know what the actual description was that they called and said like,

because I saw Meek in handcuffs and I saw his friend, Piedmont in handcuffs and their height is different. They like look different, like one's darker. Well, it was the car. It was the car. It was in the car. They pulled everybody out the car.

They're going to say if you tall, short, fat, then not. Everybody in the car, in addition to the car, knowing who to search, it would have been in the description. Not. He starts the car. Everybody in the car and the car.

Because you could have the gun and you could throw it to somebody in the back. Everybody gets searched. Everybody gets pulled down. Everybody gets put in cuffed and detained until they figure out what's going on. Well, he's okay. Mek is okay. That's a big part of it. We definitely should say that because you know, all these things can go.

But he's good, though. Salute to Mick. All right. Well, that is the latest one on. Every birthday to Jocelyn Hernandez. We got some Jocelyn Hernandez music to play for her. Y'all crazy and y'all petty. All right.

How we petty? Because he looked at me like. I heard Jocelyn on no radio station, and then you were just acting like it's in the system. Don't. You thought she got woman of the year, Jess. You said it like she married J. Blige's. Of course.

And you got any madge in the system? Shut up. Any faith, better than he sizzles? This girl just won. Jocelyn Nand is just one woman of the year. Don't play with me. It was glamour, Bulgaria, though. Okay, but she won a woman of the year.

What is that? That sounds like something you got to go to the CVS to clear up. What was you go? Oh, my God. What do you say what? Glamma, what? Bulgaria. It's just, glamourer is just glamourer.

like their Bulgaria's glamour magazine gave her woman of the year like that they have different types of Yes Yes And she's very successful Yeah so Get some music in here

All right well When we come back We got front page news And then we're going to open up the phone lines 800585 101 We're going to talk about this shutdown How has it been affecting you During get it off your chest

So many people called We'd love to hear from you 800585 101 It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Morning everybody is DJ NV V. Jess Hilarious, Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some

front page news. All right, let's start off for some quick sports. Now, your baseball fan, congratulations to the Dodgers. They won the 2025 World Series. They beat the Blue Js in 7. So congratulations. I don't watch baseball. I used to like baseball and everybody was on steroids back in the 90s, but I watched

that game because it was on Friday night and there was nothing else on TV, really? That was a good game. Yeah, yeah. Now, in football last night or yesterday, the 49ers beat the Giants, the Chargers, beat the Titans. the Patriots beat the Falcons Steelers beat the Colts The Vikings beat the Lions the Bears Bears beat the Bengals

Rams beat the Saints Bills beat the Chiefs Jaguars beat the Raiders Panthers beat the Packers Broncos beat the Texans and The Seahawks beat the commanders Now in Monday night football The Cardinals take on the Cowboys At 815 on EFTN

Good morning Good morning, Meeeeee Jeff Chaldemaine How y'all doing this morning Good morning All right so we start this hour With the rest of that 60 Minutes interview that is still trending

this morning, President Trump sat down with Nora O'Donnell at Marlago, and he covered a wide range of topics from immigration to the economy, indictments of his political rivals, nuclear testing, and the upcoming elections. Now, when it came to immigration, he said ICE agents haven't gone far enough. Let's listen to that. I think they haven't gone far enough because we've been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama. You have to look at the people. Many of them are murderers. Many of them are people that were thrown out of their countries because they were, you know, criminals. But a lot of the people that your administration has arrested and deported aren't violent criminals. Landscapers, nannies, construction workers,

farm workers. Did you say landscapes who are criminals? Yes. Jesus Christ. He also denied that grocery prices are rising despite data showing that they are. He denied that he was seeking retribution against some of his biggest critics, including FBI director James Comey, former national, his former national security advisor John Bolton and New York Attorney General Latisha James. The interview also marked his first appearance since suing CBS and his parent company Paramount over the way they edited a 2024 interview within Vice President Kamala Harris. Now, the network they later settled for 16 million without admitting any wrongdoing. Trump, he praised CBS's new leadership, calling it one of the

best things that have ever happened to the press in a long time and even waited on the upcoming New York City mayor your race, which we're going to talk about next, but he called the Democratic candidate Zoran Mondami a communist and he said that if it came down to him or former governor, Andrew Cuomo, he'd pick

the bad Democrat over a communist Indy day. And he hinted that if Mondani won, it would affect how much federal money that New York could receive. Remember when I told y'all that Donald Trump was going to make CBS his new Fox News? Remember when I said that?

And also, too, man, it's going to be very interesting the mayoral race tomorrow. I mean, Mandani looks like the clear frontrunner. And if he wins, I think I believe in politics. I believe that the power is really with the people. We heard Donald Trump say, Donald Trump said, I ain't sending no money to New York. Oh, listen, you already, you got an,

I'll tell you all what I think I already told you. But yes, if Mondani wins, it's going to be so much federal overreach. It's going to be so much overreach from the Trump administration. That's going to be ridiculous. Well, he said it yesterday. He said it. It's hard to say money. New York if he wins. I'm not sending money to a

communist. If Mondani loses though, I mean, you know, I mean, I don't know. It's going to be interesting. And the New Jersey governor race is serious too. Yes, we're about to talk about all of that. So as voters prepared and head to the polls tomorrow, a new ABC poll, Washington post poll, it shows that most Americans

they are not feeling great about where the country is headed. Nearly two-thirds say the U.S. is on the wrong track. And even about a third of Republicans agree. It's not just frustration with the direction of a country. They say they are fed up with both parties. Seven and ten Americans say Democrats are out of touch with everyday concerns and roughly six and ten say that same thing about Republicans. And at all points to a public that is

tired, skeptical, and ready for something different. And so now those feelings will be put to the test at the ballot box with key elections happening tomorrow that could offer an early preview of where voters stand heading into 2026. So in both Virginia and New Jersey, they are electing governor. So in Virginia, history is on the line. A Democrat Abigail Spanberger, the Republican, and Republican wins some Earl Sears, a Trump ally. They're both women, meaning that the state will elect its first female governor, whoever wins. But beyond making history, this race is a test of whether Virginia is shifting blue again after Republicans swept statewide four years ago and how voters feel about abortion rights and the economy and education. And NB, as you were

just saying in New Jersey, Democrat, Mikey Sheryl, he's a Navy veteran. He's facing off with Jack Chittarelli. Did I say that right? Who is backed by Trump. The state usually leans blue, but Republicans there are energized making this one too close to call. We saw former President Barack Obama there this past weekend, helping, you know, rally for Cheryl. And I think it was Cory Booker. And so a lot of people are trying to energize New Jersey to get out and vote. And in New York City, the mayorial race has tightened fast. So Democrat Duran Mondami, he still leads, but Cuomo, who is running as an independent, is closing that gap. So now polls show that Mondami is ahead by single digits.

He was ahead by double digits. He's ahead by single digits with Curtis Sliwa holding third. And so out here in California, voters will decide on Proposition 50. That's the ballot measure that could add a new Democratic seats to Congress. Governor Gavin Newsom, though he says that he is confident that Democratic. Democrats will take the win tomorrow. Let's listen to what he had to say. Recklessness aside, his style aside, the substance he hasn't delivered.

And that's why, again, we're here, Prop 50, because he knows he's going to lose the midterms. And he's trying to rig the election before one vote is cast. This is an historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than the president himself. In every core category, he's underwater. And he's a guy who promised to make us wealthier and healthier. We're poorer and sicker across the board. people are starting to realize that not only is our coffee more expensive, their beef is more

expensive, but the cost of an automobile is more expensive since he became present, the cost of utilities, all the things he promised to solve day one. He hasn't solved. Yeah. So you'll keep an eye on those key races. Polls will open bright and early tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock in Virginia and New Jersey and in California, a lot of those key races. So we'll continue to track those for you guys. I will say in Jersey, those ads they run about Mikey Cheryl are nuts. I mean, they got ads of her not being able to answer questions and if I wasn't used in one

I would be like what's wrong with this lady but I can see how they're out of context especially when she was here she couldn't answer the question but you know after I pushed her she did actually answer the question but they don't use that part they just used the part where she couldn't answer but I saw another one that was even worse

I was right saying she's doing another interview and she like really really stuttered real bit yeah yeah bad they took it out of context but that's the same thing with Trump did with Kamala Harris and they were talking about it up here they took it out of context but it's It looks nasty. Even I've seen Barack Obama.

They got him everywhere right now. They got Barack Obama on tour. He was in Virginia, too. Where Abigail, I can't remember her last name, the governor of Virginia. You know what it says about the Democratic Party that Barack Obama is the only person they can use for these elections? Why isn't Biden out there?

I know he's recovering from Kansas, but why isn't Kamala out there? Kamala should be out there. Like, damn. Biden should be at least doing it from Zoom. Obama ain't been office in a decade. Right. Well, Kamala was in California.

She was talking about Prop 50. Prop 50. Yeah. So she's out. She's from Cali, though. I know, but she's on the campaign trail trying to, you know, help pass some things. So, you know, her, Barack Obama, Cory Booker, they were all out this weekend doing, you know, a few rallies trying to help people get to the polls.

So we'll continue to watch that. All right. Absolutely. All right, y'all. Well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories, follow the black.

information network download the free iHeart radio app and visit b ian news.com all right thank you mimi now let's open up the phone lines 800 585 101 how is the shutdown affecting you you know trump was on um 60 minutes last night he broke down the shutdown and his thoughts on it his thoughts on the health care his thoughts on why the shutdown is happening but let's just ask you guys how is it affecting you yeah because you know everybody always wants to talk about the people they never talk to like like as if the government shutdown isn't causing people to not get their checks for damn near the past month if the government shutdown isn't causing people

to not be able to get their snap benefits as if the government shutdown isn't causing TSA to be crazy. Yeah. Let's discuss 800-585-105-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That is calling my fault.

Tell me, it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-105-1 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's the E. They envy just hilarious. Charlamagne Nagai.

We are the Breakfast Club. We're opening up the phone lines, 800-585-105.1. We're just asking, how has this government shutdown affected you? Trump was on 60 minutes last night and spoke about the government. And what he feels about the shutdown, let's listen. All we're doing is we keep voting. I mean, the Republicans are voting almost unanimously to end it. And the Democrats keep voting against ending it.

They've lost their way. They've become crazed lunatic. And all they have to do, Nora, is say, let's vote. And if they don't vote, that's their problem. Now, I happen to agree with something else. I think we should do the nuclear option. This is a totally different nuclear, by the way. It's called ending the filibuster.

So we're asking 800-585-105-1, how has it affected you? We just opened up the phone lines. I just want to hear from you this morning. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Denny. Hey, Denny. How are you? Good morning.

I'm okay. I'm calling from Minnesota, North Carolina, of Fort Brown. For Bragg. Talk to us. How has this shutdown affected you, Mama? So a lot of us, we're just wondering, you know, with the shutdown, this will be our second paycheck. This might be our second paycheck. So, you know, we have, like, our health insurance and all those things that come out. And a lot of us have taken out, like, loans. Well, I haven't yet. But a lot of people have taken out loans through their bank. So we're just trying to figure out is this shutdown going to put us in debt, you know? where we owe all the back money

to have it paid insurance. Then you owe the money for the loan that you pay. I mean, our people have been resourceful that fit in the food bank information, but people don't have gas to get to the food bank. That's right. So you said you have gotten the check? You said you gotten a check already?

No, and she said this is her second shape paycheck. She hasn't gotten. Oh, that you haven't gotten. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Right, right. So they gave us our first one with a partial paycheck, maybe like a week. They gave it until October 1st, and then after that, you know, we've been nothing.

But we've been showing up, we've been doing our job, most of us have been in good spirit. We've been asking each other, you know, are you okay? Do you need something? You know, we're living in a damn age where everybody is prideful. They're afraid to ask for help. But we're trying to stay positive, but at the end of the day, a lot of people are going to be in debt. When the government does open back up, we'll be in debt because we'll owe for our health insurance. and the people that had to take out loans to help them get by,

they'll owe that money as well. That's what I think people don't understand. 67% of the country is living paycheck to paycheck. Like you miss one paycheck, your whole life is in shambles. Well, not only that, you think about like what she said. Let's say she has a credit card bill she can't pay or a car note she can't pay, right? Because she's waiting to get paid. Credit card, car note, light bill, health care.

So now her credit score shoots down. So now if she wants to get a loan or she wants to, to buy a house later on, it's so low, the interest rates are through the roof, or, like, everybody knows who has credit, like, it's easy to lose. It's easy to go down, but it's harder to get back up, and that's just horrible. It's not even, it's not only what they're going through right now. It's the aftermath of all of this. And it couldn't be at a worst time, the holidays.

That's what we're afraid of. The aftermath, like, the people that had to go to their bank and ask their bank to give them a $15,000 or $2,000 loan. When it starts up again, you have to, pay back back, in addition to your bills to make a parent, in addition to any back pay that you're old, you know, for your health insurance and things. So we're getting ready to crash, just trying to survive. Yeah, that's so sad.

Well, Danny, can I pay for your lunch today? You sure can. What's your cash have, Denny? That's so nice. It's Denny Boo 8808. No, I'm chocolate chick. Chocolate chick 888. Chocolate chicks 888?

Chocolate chick. That sounds like something I need a subscription to every month. My God. Jesus. You're a man. Chocolate. Chocolate. Okay, hold on.

And it's the regular way you spell chocolate and the regular way you spell chick, right? That's it. You know what I'm talking about, Jake. You're a chocolate chick, you already know I'm a chocolate chick, girl. Y'all talking about, you know, borrowing money from the banks. The banks is borrowing money. I saw it with the Fed. They injected $29.4 billion into the banking system.

And what's the food bank you go to out there? I heard you say something about the food bank. Um, we've been given, like, a bunch of resources to different food things. They just send us, like, random emails. Um, I have not. Like, like I said, I'm, like, from the old school, I'm a survivor. I keep my freezer stopped for days like this. Um, so I have not gone yet.

Got you. But there are lots of food. All right. Well, prayers up for you, man. Pairs up for you. Lunch on me today, all right? Thank you so much. Y'all have a great day.

Let me know you got it too. You got it? Oh, hold on. It did. It said. I guess that's a lot of lunch I guess I'm about my co-workers lunch too Oh, amazing, that's nice

That's what it is, Mama Have a good one Hello, who's this? That's what's up, Andy Hey, we're going on, brother What's your name, brother? Hey, this is Chef Anson I'm out here in Washington, D.C.

Yes, sir How has this shutdown affected you, brother? Yeah, man, so you know, my wife, she was actually working for the Food and Drug Administration and she put in 15 years of work there and, you know, she only 40 years old and for her to, you know, get let go

you know, it's real discouraging. So, you know, I just try to keep the household uplifted, as a personal chef, you know, in hospital for 17 years, you know, I take care of things and pull my weight. But let me tell you what she did. She went and got herself a job as a school teacher, second grade teacher at a school in Princeton. Here we go. Hey, I'm Cal Penn. And on my new podcast, Here We Go again. We'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself?

You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash, like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes or early. We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lily Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong.

Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to here we go again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I live below a cult leader, and I fear I've angered her. Well, wait a minute, Sophia. How do you know she's a cult leader? Well, Dakota, luckily it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week on the OK Storytime podcast, so you'll find out soon. This person writes, my neighbor's been blasting music every day and doing dirt rituals, and now my ceiling is collapsing.

I try to report them, but things keep getting weirder. I think they may be part of a cult. Hold up, Sophia, a real-life cult? And what is a dirt ritual? No clue, but according to this person, contractors are tearing down the patio to find out what's going on with their ceiling and her neighbors are not happy. Well, she needs to report them ASAP. She did, and now they've been confronting her in really creepy ways all the time. So do we find out if this person survives their neighborhood cult or not?

To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead, the other tried for murder. Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times.

John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular search. killer home, high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble. And our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control.

Listen to hell in heaven on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion-dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside.

He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon. on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So she went from going to make him like 160 to now make him about 40 steps.

And, you know, I commend her every day for it, you know. Yeah. Well, at least she has a job. That's right. You know what I'm saying? At least she has some type of money coming in. 100%. You know, and to keep her encouraged, you know, I've been through things.

You know, I had overhead brain surgery when I was 19. You know, I went to prison. I actually was facing up there where it did he was at right now in Fort Dix. So, you know, when you can go through certain things and overcome it, you know, that, you know, Ecclesiase 3 says there's a time for anything. That's right.

I thought, like, look, you know, this might just be a transition from, you know, your situation that's taking place right now. So, what made stress, I'm sorry, excuse me, transpire, later on, I'm coming up. How was your time at Ford Dix? Yeah, I was going to ask, like, like, what kind of prison is it?

What kind of prison is it? So, you know, people... Because, you know, Envy thinks it's a... Yeah, now, four dishes up. It's a low facility. Got about four fences around it. You know, you wake up at 6 a.m., go get your breakfast. The gym open.

I actually had a job day. I was a painter on there. So, you know, we had paint fences, pay different rails. You can watch TV in different TV rooms. But it's actually... This is the thing that they don't tell you. It's actually a 16-man sale. So it's kind of like military staff, bunk beds.

They just put you in different rooms With different people You got your locker Oh, so you got 15 roommates essentially Yeah, man You think they got Diddy in there With 15 other people? I doubt that

Absolutely 15 other people But you've seen the picture Where everybody smiled He's like you're having a good time They're gonna take care I'm in there Man, shut up now

What do you say that mean for Diddy Hey yo Hold on now We got to say they're going to take care Diddy and Jett What exactly does that mean? That's crazy If you're just joining us

We just open up the phone lines. I want to talk about the government shutdown. How is it affecting you? President Donald Trump was on 60 minutes yesterday. He spoke about it. This is what he said. All we're doing is we keep voting. I mean, the Republicans are voting almost unanimously to end it. And the Democrats keep voting against ending it.

They've lost their way. They've become crazed lunatics. And all they have to do, Nora, is say, let's vote. And if they don't vote, that's their problem. Now, I happen to agree to something else. we should do the nuclear option. This is a totally different nuclear, by the way. It's called ending the filibuster.

So we're asking 800-585-105-1. We have Tunisia on the line. Tunisia, good morning. Good morning. I'm sorry for the background noise. I'm coming into work. I work at a high school. But I wanted to say that I believe that the shutdown is affecting.

My family personally, my husband is a couple. government employees he's not being paid and I don't think people realize that these government employees are receiving post subs that say zero damn um and that could be a huge weight on them mentally because they have to look at themselves not receiving pay um also these landlords don't care yeah they are saying the rent is still due right The electric company, award a company, your bills are still due. I mean, as you guys heard, I'm at work, so I can help out a little bit. But we are a true income household for a reason.

And my husband is thinking about trying to get another job, but he has to show up for training. However, if he takes leave, he may not be able to come off of leaves. So it puts people in a bad position. I'm trying to help families. Also, I said on my social media, anyone that needs help, I would like to help feed families with the Aldi special. A couple of families have reached out to me,

but it's just we're doing what we can. So not only are we suffering, but we're also trying to reach out to help people because it doesn't seem the government is trying to help and these politicians are still being paid legally they cannot refuse their pay so if they're saying they are refusing their pay

that is not the truth I researched it they have to submit for pay refusal 30 days before they are not paid they have not done that if they've done that that indicates that they were maybe planning on the shutdown i feel like also some politicians are donating they're paid to the food bank but we got to think with tariffs and shipping and getting food how quickly can the food they get food i'm just saying we're not thinking about the big picture here and the bigger picture is when does this shutdown

down in because like I said my landlord said oh well your rent is so due that's you know we've been saying that for the past couple of weeks like none of these people are going to care that you know you're not getting paid they want their money but not only that because they probably have bills too your landlord might not own that house so he might have to pay the bank as well so he might have to use your money to pay his mortgage you know what I mean so it's it's effed up all around I'm so sorry for that mama thank you have a great day hello who's this why you keep going these people with my

I don't know I'm a federal worker I didn't want to put my name up there in a radio but I was calling about the question of how the shutdowns was affecting me

yes ma'am talk to us because the government straight down I'm a federal worker let them get my husband and I didn't have a healthy

checking and favors account we would be in a situation of where we couldn't pay our views so he's the only one that's working so it's like money's going out but none of the time of him And so I also have a child that's in extracurricular activity.

It's just not so much as a strain, but it potentially could be, if it's continued. Yeah, and it's the holidays too. Right. Thanksgiving coming up, and also my daughter's birthday falls on Thanksgiving. So it's a lot, not just that, you know. So I don't know what they're doing if they're trying to wait until after this election. You can see a Democrat to get more seats. to try to do something.

I don't know, but it's crazy. I'm sorry, Mom. Yeah, I mean, you know, something got to give soon. And, you know, that's what I was talking to Mimi Brown about earlier, you know, and this is what I don't understand. And I want someone to explain it to me. The health care is going up anyway because the big, beautiful bill didn't include the extension of the tax credits to keep the cost down.

So if it's going up anyway, what's the point that Democrats continuing to take the stand that they are doing this so health care prices don't shoot up? All right. We got T. Vaughan on the line. Tvon, good morning. Good morning. How are you feeling this morning? I'm good.

How are you? Good, good. We're talking about the government shut down. How was it affecting you? Well, it's affecting me because I'm a single mom to four kids. I was divorced last year. And so it's just been me and them since the divorce. I already worked, you know, 40 hours a week, just picked up a second job, but it's still not enough.

So that's how we ended up on the benefit. So it's scary to think about how I'm going to feed my job. my kids and you know I trust God he's never let them miss a meal yet but it I'm nervous yeah that's right yeah it's nervous I look at my kids and you know I want at least I should be able to do a fit deal and I know I shouldn't be doing it by myself but I am so everyone has such a bad idea about like EBT like oh you don't work or you just sit on like your butt and don't do what you're supposed to do but I get up and I work 40 hours a week just picked up a second job and it's still not enough.

Yeah. Thank you for calling in. I really don't think people get it, bro. 67% of the country is living paycheck to paycheck. Like, people really be taking for granted the blessings that they have when they don't have to live paycheck to paycheck, man. You're right. And like you said, this is the time where we need to be community, right?

And, you know, it's tough on everybody. And some people won't have a Christmas. And some people won't have a chance to have a Thanksgiving with family. So this is the time as community. We need to, if you can't afford it, if you can't give to a food bank, little things, like I was talking to my wife the other day, and I was like, we got six kids.

We got ish tons of baby clothes. You know what I mean? And we were like, well, let's make sure we get it to a family that might need it. That can't afford to buy baby clothes. That can't afford to buy onezies and whatever it may be. A lot of stuff we did give away, but, you know, we got a house full of just, I got six kids, damn it. I've donated this six different food banks over the last few days.

You know, I launched the 50,000, 50,000 meal match for New Yorkers because of the snap crisis. Food bank hit me this weekend. It was like, yo, we've overexeded that. You know what I'm saying? So I'm going to get the final number today, but you know, same thing. Food banks, community organizations and Charleston, South

Carolina, Monskorn in South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina. I've donated to them all because that's what I can do. But you know what I've been telling folks? Yo, if you can't give money, give you a time. You know what I mean? Like if you guys, they're going need extra hands. Go down to some of these food banks and these pantries and look how long these lines are. If you can't

you know, you donate no money, just go out there and give you a time. If you can afford to do that, you know? Absolutely. Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up, what we're talking about? Yes, we're going to be talking about Drake. There's another lawsuit, but this time, Drake is in the hot seat over some streams, so we'll have a conversation about it.

All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody, it's the JNV, Jess Alarious, Sholami, the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Jess, can you do me one favor before the end of this November? Can you teach me this Chris Brown dance? Yes, I got you. We got to start slow, but like, it ain't like you going to do it. If I teach you, you have to do it and actually post it on TikTok.

I'm going to surprise the kids. Like, I'm going to do it on with the kids and be like, I got it. Surprise the kids with what? By being the dad that learn a dance, that's a year old. So? You want to be the day? Yeah, that's pretty much. So what?

Damn, why ain't you doing that old dance, dad? By the time you learn it, they'll be doing some new TikTok craze. Well, I want to learn that one. All right. I got you. Let's get to the latest with Laura. becoming a straight fat. She gets them from somebody that knows

somebody. She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. On the breakfast club.

Talk to me! L.L. Cool-Bay. Hey, good morning. Hey, y'all. So there's a new class action lawsuit. So there's a ton of people who have got together to file this lawsuit, but the lead plaintiff is a rapper named RBX, who's also known as a cousin to Snoop Dog.

And what he's claiming is that Spotify should be in trouble because they have turned a blind eye to a mass-scale fraudulent streaming, like scam situation. And he points to Drake as an artist and says that Drake, among a ton of artists, but specifically the example given in the lawsuit is about Drake. They say that Drake has benefited from the mass-scale fraudulent streaming. And the lawsuit, it doesn't say that Drake himself did anything wrong. The lawsuit is against Spotify. Well, not that he didn't do anything wrong, but the lawsuit isn't against Drake.

It's against Spotify. But basically what they're claiming is that every month, Spotify has billions of fraudulent streams that are generated from fake, illegitimate, or illegal methods like bots. And this happens at a mass scale. And it hurts other people and other artists on Spotify that would be making money because, you make money off of your streams. So if your streams are not, you know, blown up and these numbers aren't big and huge, you're not competing, so you're not making money the way that you would be, especially because of these huge blown up numbers that artists, like they allege a Drake,

has happening. So they're saying to Spotify, you guys should be held responsible for the money that we are not making. And they give an example of, you know, basically saying, like, Drake has all these billions of streams across Spotify, but approximately 37 billion streams were in on. authentic and appear to be the work of a network of bot accounts is what they're alleging. They allege that this activity took place between January

2022 and September 2025 and it also claims that an examination of Drake streams revealed at normal VPN usage, which had weird like locations which they're also pointing to bot accounts used for streaming various songs.

They say for instance, the lawsuit claims that over a four-day period in 2024 at least 250,000 streams of his song No Face originated in Turkey. So, yeah, they're trying to, and this is ironic because you guys know, Drake has been on this whole thing with like bots and allegations of people using bots and fake streams in the Universal Music lawsuit with Kendrick and not like us. How is this connected, Lauren, to when Spotify, wasn't it was, Spotify was investigating the playlist bribery allegations in Turkey, Turkey early.

Okay, so still working on specifics on the connection, but because we, broke that, not broke that. Well, we would have wanted first people to report that story as well, too, but what I believe is happening, uh, because people were trying to figure out why are the investigations and all these, uh, rays that we were talking about then happening in these random locations. If you look at this lawsuit here, those random locations are where they're tracking these, uh, like bot farms too. So if you go and you get all the information from the bot farms and these places where these VPN accounts, which are these like basically online addresses that show you, you know, where these are, bot farms is crazy. Yeah, they have the, yeah. that's the thing they have clip farms too streamers use them too it's basically just a group of like people sitting behind you know computers or whatever that are doing whatever you tell them or pay them to do but basically um charlemagne to answer your question the locations like in here it says you know there are these random locations that they're tracing uh these bot farms back to that raid basically was them going and saying hey we're trying to get some more information here because something's about to happen so if you put two and two together um i think one over here

what we talked about before with the raids is them gathering some evidence and now you have this you know big class action lawsuit that is saying we have the evidence now here is the lawsuit so I think what you want to see is these two come together um to try and prove what they're claiming is happening with allegedly with drink and a ton of other artists yeah I don't I don't know about but this is going to be a situation in the future because I feel like in the future this is going to be like the next federal freak off like one of the next big federal cases because this is illegal like it's going to be a lot of artists who have been using these bot farms to blow their numbers up,

blow their digital sales up, not just their sales, but to control narratives on social media, they're going to find themselves in some federal situations. Oh, not only that, you use those bot forms to get more money from a record label to sign you, right?

But that's what it's based on, right? That's essentially what this is. A lie. Yeah. And the bot farms, if you look on TikTok, because I've seen pictures, I don't know if they're real or not, but they have maybe like 100 phones set up

and 100 phones are streaming different artists. So I guess you pay these botan, farms and let's say you pay and then this month is this artist and wait till peter get involved because you know they got monkeys that know how to freaking be sitting on the computer typing all of this stuff out yes you ain't see Superman shut up goodbye goodbye no because as soon as they're saying about all of them that was just released or they just got yes yeah like you don't see the connection they not the last thing they're thinking about is they just got released last week and now all of a sudden the lawsuit you're not paying attention you not paying attention

you know this guy's great okay continue on on you're not paying attention. These monkeys out here telling, tell them, they snitching. But all jokes aside, this is going to be the next federal freakoff. You can see it coming a mile away. But who gets in trouble at that point? Is it the artist or is it the record label? No, it's the artist? Because is it the artist that's paying it? Or is it the label that's paying it for the artist? Probably both. But they also have artists that are doing it independently of the label. And they're

gaming the label as well. So that's what That goes back to what you're saying. You know what I mean? Like you hire these people. Right. They boost up your numbers. They boost up your sales. When the time to renegotiate, that's right.

They base it off with the streams. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah.

That report that we did about those raids that were happening back in Turkey at the, I was told that they were happening at the offices of Universal, Sony, and other major record labels in Turkey that was back in September. And that was because of a bribery allegation regarding artists on those label paying. for individuals on like playlist placements and stuff like that These artists are going to Turkey to get their hair done and their freaking bot farms

You hear me Not to get their hair done to get their hairlines yo This is crazy Teeth too, teeth too Yes, heylines, thieves, strings, all of it All right Do we have time for anything else? Nope

Okay All right well that's the latest with Lauren Shalaman Who are you giving that donkey too? Man for after the hour we need a guy named Harrison Coleman He's 50 years old He needs to come to the front of the congregation We would like to have a word with him uh his story i expect to hear a lot more of it uh over the next few months but we'll discuss

all right we'll get to that next is the breakfast club good morning we wanted to know how you came up with the donkey of the day because you're mean i am not what did i do there's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street that is why sholomey thing we live a life where we fight our tongue based off cool you lay a thing we never would say it you don't give a damn don't throw that what's that mean Breakfast Club.

In the words of Charlemagne, the guy. He's a donkey, that's a... Damn it to him. Oh, man, Charlemagne, you giving Donkey today to who now? What it mean when you're on Twitch and it says Level 2 completed? Now I'm saying Level 3. What's that mean? It's a video game?

I don't know. Oh, okay. Donkey today for Monday, November 3rd, goes to a man from Maine named Harrison Coleman. Okay, Harrison is 50 years old, and he is facing multiple charges this morning after he was accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and threatening to kill her if she did not do what he asked her to do. What did he ask her to do?

What task was he telling her to perform? And if she didn't do it, he would kill her. Well, hold on me, full up the news report. Let's go to ABC 8 for the report, please. Auburn police arresting Harrison Coleman on Wednesday, charging him with kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and threatening to kill her if she did not steal items from the Walmart for him.

say Coleman assaulted her, forced her into his car and drove to the store. The woman told employees she'd been threatened and one of those employees approached an Auburn police officer who was working a security detail at the store. Coleman was taken into custody after police found him in his car. He is being held without bail until he faces a judge. I hate humans. You know, I have a philosophy and it's rooted around the whole your thoughts become things mindset and I truly believe to the things you want to happen in your life, you should always think about and you should speak about constantly,

but the things you don't want to happen in your life, you don't think about, you don't speak about. But when you see stories like this, man, the first thing you think about is protecting the women in your life, right? The first thing you think about is how to keep women in your life safe because you don't ever want them

to be in a situation like this because the reality is we can't control the crazy of other human beings, all right? Or the desperation of other human beings. but you know what's so scary about this situation this man wasn't trying to get no money he wasn't trying to sexually assault this woman this man wanted her to steal specific items for him from Walmart okay did you listen to us the last hour when we had people calling in explaining how the government shutdown is impacting them people are hurting out here okay I'm not making

any excuses for what this man did he's got to deal with the consequences of his actions but I'm just telling you that for the foreseeable future we are going to hear a lot more of these types of crimes. Now, I don't judge people for what they do when they're in survival mode because I understand they're just trying to survive. But you know who does judge you for what you do when you're in survival mode? The judge. Okay, I know desperate times called for desperate measures, but please understand these desperate measures are also going to get you a whole lot of time. Okay, only thing I want to tell folks is please don't let your survival turn predatory. Okay, because survival doesn't justify your crime. All right,

desperation and lack can mutate into abuse and exploitation real quick and that's what this story is an example of America I'm telling you right now you are going to see a lot of economic stress a lot of economic survival turned into emotional violence like this okay I don't know if this man was trying to get these items to resell maybe he needed them to live all I know is when people can't provide for themselves they take from others okay emotionally and materially all right the more a man feels useless or powerless, the more he may over assert control over the people closest to him. And that's not excusing this man's abuse in any way, shape, or form.

I'm just putting into context the larger American mental health and economics collapse crisis. Okay, because Harrison wasn't just violent. He was clearly desperate. And desperation left untreated turns human need into human harm. America, these are the monsters that you are currently. creating okay when the system fails to feed the hungry the hungry starts feeding on each other please give harrison coleman the sweet sounds of the hamletones oh now you are the donkey of the day you are the donkey chat won't play a game of the day he-haw

now the other thing i was thinking what if harrison was just giving her a ride And he took her to Walmart and she went in there and started stealing. And then when she got caught, she said this guy out there made me do it. I'm just saying, I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm just saying that's the other place my mind went as well. So you want to play again? No, because I don't know what I don't have no idea. There's no picture.

But to answer your question, but to answer your question, that level two, level three is a hype train. Basically, we get mad donations and subs or whatever. People are buying subscriptions, gifting other people, which unlocks the, you know, it creates discounts for subs and things like that. Okay. So it creates the ad, how much ads you watch. Gotcha. So I just need to know who to go shake down.

So that is money. That is money. People know that people here are doing bad and they're gifting people. Sorry, chat. He doesn't want to play a game today. Oh, I don't know the game. Here we go. Hey, I'm Cal Penn.

And on my new podcast, Here We Go again. We'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself?

A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout?

There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure.

You're right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, let's open up the phone lines, 800-585-105-105-1. Now, Halloween fell on a weekend. This weekend, it was Friday. Hopefully you guys enjoyed your Halloween. And people were very picky about who people dressed up as, right?

Oh, this is crazy. What? This is what Lauren was talking about with her and her man? Her man wanted to be biggie and wanted her to be public? No, that is not what her man wanted her to be.

People were upset about that. So, you know, people were also upset about Winnie Harlow. She played, she was Whitney Harlow. I thought she did fantastic. I thought she did great. I thought she was great. Absolutely.

Let's open up the phone lines, 800-585-105-1. Are there certain costumes that people shouldn't be? That is the question. 800-585-1-5-1-5-1. There's definitely costumes people shouldn't be. I guess

more specifically was Duany Harlow offensive. I didn't think it was. I don't even know what they found offensive about it. They get for a hard time anyway. Just I think that's because of a skin. I don't think people understand. Yeah. And they shouldn't understand. That's her skin. She was born like that. I don't know. I don't know people's problems. What her skin got to do with it? No I'm saying. You know, because, you know, she like, she's two different, you know, she got the patches, you know what I'm saying? So people would be trying to come at it. I'm like,

all right, well, if she would have been Michael Jackson at a certain point in his life, then they would have been mad at that. That would be a lot of sense. Or Charlamagne in the face, same difference. She would have been like a cow. People would have been like, oh, wow, now you, you know, then peta, Peter, well, pat a, would have came out of nowhere.

But you damned if you do, damned if you don't. So she did great. Now she killed it. 800-585-105-1. Let's discuss. Oh, but, you know what? Call us up. It's the breakfast club for a morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody, it's D.J.N.V. J. Salarious, Sholamine McGa. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, this conversation started really from Winnie Harlow. She played Whitney Houston for Halloween. She dressed up as Whitney Houston for Halloween, I should say. And people were upset with that. Yep. And we were asking 800-585-105-1. I guess are there certain costumes or certain things that people should stay away from?

But Whitney Houston's estate reposted the costume. Yeah. I don't see any malicious intent. see anything where she was trying to be negative or anything that people are talking about oh because that's when she was clearly on drugs and you know abusing substances but it's like yo that was one of the most viral moments of her career not to mention that night she won awards right that was the whole point of the speech dumb ass like why was somebody mad we don't know what moments Whitney was high and what moments right right she was always like her so she was always that way yes like so come on i thought that when he did a great job i don't i don't see the

issue. And like I said, if Whitney's actual Instagram page reposted it, what the hell of y'all matter? Right, right. And Julia Fox, they were mad at Julia Fox. You know, Julia Fox used to date Kanye. She was a model. They were mad at her because she played Jackie Kennedy and she had blood on the costume. Now, I thought that was tasteless. Now, yeah, explain that because her husband not killed. The reason I thought it was tasteless because, you know, yes, that's the outfit she was wearing when

John F. Kennedy got shot and the blood was on her and she didn't want to take the dress off even though people were telling her to take it off because she was basically it was a symbol like y'all want to show y'all what they did to my husband i thought that was kind of tasteless now i didn't i thought with julia fox off it was tasteless absolutely now that you explained it to me i literally thought that she was just trying to scary it up because it's hallowing you know she was just going up with the vibe but nah that's definitely horrible yeah the smoke y'all giving winnie hollow y'all should be given uh julia fox to julia fox because i felt like you know somebody's trauma shouldn't be turned into a hell yeah a Halloween costume nah yeah no no no well

Let's go to the phone lines. We have Liz on the line. Liz, good morning. Yes, hello. Hey, good morning, Mama. What's your thoughts? My thought is that the disrespectful costume that I saw was Whitney Houston where they had her sparkles dress on her,

and they had her plane like she was cracked out. That was very disrespectful. It wasn't playing like she was cracked out. That's how she acted as a BETT Awards. That was like identical of what she did to the BT Award. Yeah, when he was just acting. I know, but when you imitate them, when we're dealing with legends, we've got to imitate their death behavior.

That was bad behavior. That was a messed up. But you're not going to say that Shody wasn't turned up. I'm talking about Whitney had all of us saying, you better lay low and Johnny, Bobby, Ricky. Mike, whoever she was saying. Like, that was a big virality moment of Whitney's career. Like, she didn't seem cracked out.

Now, I can show you some that's cracked out. Yeah, and the thing with Winnie, too. She didn't just do that moment. She did a bunch of different albums. She did different album covers. Yes, but this person's costume had her wig. her wig was backed up. Oh, my, it was terrible.

I was like, you couldn't have did her like that. Yo. That was the same thing. That was the same wig. That was the same wig. Yeah. Same style, everything. Hello, who's this?

This is Sierra. Hey, Sierra, good morning. What's your thoughts on? Good morning. Hollywood costumes. Good morning. Yeah, I think that some of the celebrities do too much. I'm not going to lie.

They don't know how to read the room in certain. Does I get that there's some celebrities that have passed away and you just want to, you know, give them the flowers that they deserve by dressing up. However, I don't know. It just seems a little awkward, a little uncomfortable to watch. I can understand what you're saying. I can understand.

You want to give an example? What you think? Who do you think? The model that did the Whitney Houston. Oh, Winnie Harlow. It was funny, but it was kind of cringe to watch. Why, though? I don't know.

Like, you talk about Winnie Hall, but why? I mean, because she was, it was cute, but, like, awkward to witness. It just felt like it was a little difficult. That's who Whitney was. Also, too, nobody ever gets mad when people recreate the scene of Whitney and Bobby dancing in the store. Yes, yes, exactly. And you were talking about cracked out.

Like, yeah, but that was, that was like a moment. Charlebeye got in trouble for when a costume one time. What I got in trouble for? Who you dressed up base one time? I don't get in trouble for. I'm a grown-ass man. I know, that's right. That wasn't trouble.

You dressed up as Hillary Clinton? I had on a Nike track suit with a Hillary Clinton mask. That's all. You're a clown. We had the interview for the first time. Right. When they Googled it, that came up. Oh, no.

Well, what it was, I had envy pinned up in a corner. Oh, wow. And I was, I was looking at the camera with the mask. Oh, you're a clown. Oh, no, no, no, yeah. You can't imagine. My Secret Service pulled that up, and then had to ask them, why was you humping somebody?

Where in Hillary Clinton? Man's going. This place is stupid. You better late, logan. Hello, who's this? This is Craig Davis from bad off to Georgia, Willisville, USA. What's up, Craig? How are you?

Talk to us. I'm all right, baby. Good, good, good. Bless Black and Holly. How are you doing? Hey, hey, what's up, baby? What's up? Hey, man.

I was in listening to the topic, and that is very trash. You know, people dress up as the devil every year, and they ain't got no problem with that. Like, yo, you're mad before he put me on, right? On the ball, he was like somebody in a book where somebody dressed as Jesus and everybody was mad about it. And then, what nobody would say that everybody dressed like the devil is. Girls dressed as a sexy devil.

That's dressed as a deal with. Other people's dressed as devil. Don't nobody feel like that. But as soon as somebody dressed is like a human, an imperfect human that make mistakes, you know, I'm saying somebody got an issue with. That's nuts, though. I don't get it. You know what, you're right, Greg, because, you know, me and my family used to do Halloween very, very, very.

We used to do, decorate the crib. And it was crazy. I was talking to one of my pastors, Naima out of L.A., and she was like, you know, she finds it weird that a lot of people dive into recreating Halloween, which is like, I guess, promotes fear, it promotes darkness, it promotes negativity. It promotes the devil.

And it was like, oh, bah, humbug. Tell her, relax. We just like throwing costumes all that. No, but she told me that. And after she said that, she was like, you know, wearing a costume is fine. but the way that a lot of people dive into it, like you said, they are the devil,

they are the sexiness, and she was like, it's a little too far. When we thought about it, we was like, life is blessed. Let's chill. Let's chill. Tone it down.

We chilled off on it for this year in the next couple of years. But I agree with you, Greg. But what about when you dressed up like Jesus? Hey, yo. Because I don't want to celebrate Halloween like I used to? I grew up not celebrating it. I was a Jehovah Witness.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, shal me. Yes, sir. Salman. Salman. I wanted to talk with me too. Oh, you grew up Jehovah Witness?

I am. Oh, you're a witness now. Okay, okay. So I understand your perspective. Yeah, but see, that's the thing. It's weird that, you know, that's the devil is. Boy, I'm sorry. I ain't talking.

Nobody said that. That's them demons talking to you. You're in my house studio in my bed. No. But, no, but it's like, yeah, it's like, I just think that's the whole devil thing. And it's like, everybody's cool with every other, or mad at every other costumes. That's just nuts.

Yeah, that's why I didn't do it this shit. But thank you, Greg, for your call. Why you ain't doing this year now? I told you, because I was talking to a passing. It was like a lot of times we idolize and we promote the fear, the negativity, the demonic of Halloween. And it was like, it's not right. Man, shut your ass up. If he had a whole costume planned out, he told us what he was going to be in everything.

But you were that person in a video Friday, we asked you, just asked you. Damn, I wanted to see Dame. And you was like, I ain't bring it with me. I still wear, I still wear a costume, but we don't celebrate it like with you. Every year, we used to do a video. A huge production video. You was out trick-or-treating with us. I saw you in the neighborhood.

Right. But I'm just saying. I just saw you. Right. But we didn't go to the extent that we usually do. That's here we did, what happened. Yo, last year, we did Alia and Kim. The year before that, we did a whole creepy crawler thing.

The year before that, we did the whatever. We do a whole production. And you was out Friday, too. You had your mask on. I saw Madison. You know, listen. I said, we don't celebrate. We do.

I said, we still wear it, but we just don't celebrate and do the costumes and do the decorations in the crib anymore. We don't do that anymore. Because it's too deep and dark. Thank you. That's what you want. That's what you want. They're going to bite you on your ass.

What's the moral of the story? I ain't being positive with you guys. The moral of the story is you can be who you want to be. Now, there are things, there are people that you absolutely should not be. Like, there are things you just shouldn't do. What about Little Nas X? What was he? Oh, when he created, Bobby Lights, re-created DeLonez.

I thought that was funny. I thought it was amazing. Why not? Do it. Give it a world. But he was going through Little Nizet's was drugged up and, well, we're, allegedly.

But they're both gay now, come on. Bobby, probably been a little drugged up as well. Too-shay. You know, you know, so it's fine. Speaking of gay, I just can't believe if you don't want to call pumpkins with DJ Clue no more. What?

Oh, y'all used to call pumpkins. They never called no pumpkins. They never called no pumpkins. I don't know what you talk about. Okay, but speaking of gay, happy birthday, Roseanne, but I do think that, I do think that stuff, it was some good people,

it was some good costumes that we didn't share. light on them. Wendy Raquel when his big glow. Shorty looked just like her. Okay. Saraji P. Henson did Janet Jackson from Scream. She did Janet Jackson. That was good. She created a couple of Janet Jackson. You know who else killed at Nisi Nash.

I ain't see her what she was. Go to Nisi Nash. She did a Harry Shepherd. What? What? I showed Speed had a fire costume too. What was he? What did he did? He was a black, dark flash. Damn. That was hard. All right. Well, we got the ladies with Lauren costumes. What are we doing? We are talking Jeezy

because he just broke a world record and we have some exclusive details on the world record and how he broke it. We're going to talk about it. All right. We'll get to that next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Lauren La Jefferson. Brand of the Binks.

Wow. Morning everybody is DJ NV. Jess Laris. Sholomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Salute to Noree. Noree. Noree ran the marathon over the weekend. 26.2 miles. So salute to Noriega, which is. You know, I started to call you yesterday, but I gave you a break.

I'm going to call you today because I need you to call him for me about that. I got some questions. I need to ask him about that race. You see people get so hurt and all these things happen to them while they're running? Yeah, I didn't see Norie post the crimcrossing the finish line yet, but. He ain't posting nothing. That's what I was going to call you about. I'm like, yo, where is his team?

But I see his team did. So I'm just assuming that Norrie did it too. So congratulations. Salute the N-O-I-E. Salute the Q-D-Z. I saw Q-D-Zzie running the race. To my girl, Rachel Edwards. I saw her running the race as well.

Rachel, Rachel? Yeah. Rachel does it all the time. Rachel, a big marathon running. Those 5Ks ain't no joke. And I wonder, I want to figure out how you get into the marathon because they said they get like 200,000 applicants, but only 50,000 people, I think, or something like that are allowed

and then it costs money to do. After this, envy, I'm working on a story. That's what I need you to call Norrie for it. All right, all right, all right. Well, let's get to the latest one, Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fat. She gets him from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail.

I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. She's the latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the breakfast club. Talk to me. So then congratulations to GZ, speaking of accomplishments, because he is now in the Guinness Book of World Records.

His orchestra that accompanies him in his shows that he has been doing. You guys know he is in Vegas currently. It's now the largest orchestra for a hip-hop music concert. It is stamped. So congratulations to him. Let's take a listen. There was actually a judge there at the concert last night. Let's take a listen to that judge giving GZ award.

No, we don't have that audio. Yes, we do. Nope. Okay, well, I keep on. He ain't got it. I'm sorry? I don't sing some shit before, but I ain't never seen a hundred and one piece orchestra with a hip-hop artist in my life.

Matter of fact, this ain't never been done before, right? You know, this ain't, it's like some world record, right? It's got to be a world record or something. All the way from the Guinness Book of World Records. Uh-oh. Andy Glass is here. GZ, today, you set a new Guinness World Records title. The largest orchestra for a hip-hop concert ever in history, honoring them. Yes, sir!

First of all, I received that, thank you, who traveling this wrong for this. Y'all make some notes for the color of noise, though, for it? 20 years. He is. You know, it's crazy. I used to read the kid this book and world records when I was in school. You know what I'm saying? No, you did. But this is amazing. This is what it's about. Stay in focus, not paying attention to the noise. No, he did. And trust in the process and go out with the most high man. I love y'all. This is real. Droving the Clues Bond for Gizi. I got to take my black ass to Las Vegas because I need to experience that thug motivation one-on-one with that orchestra. I am upset at myself that I have not seen that yet.

Damn. You was hype because you kept saying you were going to go. Oh, I'm going. I got a top seven favorite rappers of all time. And Gizi is absolutely in my top seven. Okay. Well, that orchestra is the color of noise orchestra. It's composed by Derek Hodge, and it's musically directed by Adam Blackstone in Vegas.

So you do got a couple more dates, Charlemagne, if you want to go and see him. And the judge that actually came out, I got some background information or how we even get here. Because you hear about some of these records sometimes, but you never hear why or how Guinness even finds.

you know that these things are happening so the judge in guinness they take weeks to research so this came across their radar they were super interested in it not only did he become or this orchestra become the largest but this record has never been set before he is the first person to set this record so even if uh you know someone has 102 people orchestra because he has 101 jZ is in history as the first person to ever you know have this large orchestra for a hip-hop music concert um yeah then they fly in they have to witness it in real time so if to watch the show and real time make sure there's actually 101 people and then they give you the award which is what we got a chance to listen to and you have to have like witnesses there um i was told that he had jZ had two

witnesses there a music industry exec and a marketing exec only rule is that they can't be on your payroll to be your witness um and if all this goes well while the judge is there boom you get your award so shout out to him shout out to jzy in the show in Vegas oh yes uh now in other news Speaking of shows, Ray J and Brandy reunited on the stage at the Boy Is Mine Tour. Did you guys see the video? Yeah, so there's not a lot of audio.

You saw it? Yeah, it was a really nice moment that I saw a lot of people posting and talking about. Did he sing or he just came out to support? No, he came out to sing or anything. So Brandy was performing. Ray J comes up from under the stage and she literally just says, give it up for Ray J.

And then she goes to the back of the stage and they hug and then they both go down under the stage together. But, you know, Ray J has been very vocal about how Brandy hasn't been the happiest about a lot of the things he's been doing publicly. And it seems like they're, you know, the brother and sister. So things happen. But I think to see them on stage, the hug, it was, you know, just really got to see. He should have did one wish.

No, no, no, no, no. Listen, one step at a time, okay? He's on tour himself right now. I think he's, I've seen him outside perform in the Sun Park a lot or something like that, like before a show or something last week. He was out. Ray J got a few that can set an arena off. Yes, he should have done. sexy can I

wait a minute one wish I hit it first yeah but that's not his tour but he would have set it off that one wish you would have what he would have he would have said it off they would have crazy no I would rather saw wait a minute

no one wish you want to see one wish for sure wait a minute is there too but yeah he didn't perform though but if he did perform I think they would have been crazy because I mean they weren't crazy just seeing him there with Randy in general but I think people sleep because Ray J would be funny when he do his performances

because that clip Jess is talking about went viral because of how he was performing. Yeah, he was serious giving it his all right in that parking lot and I love that but the thing is, I don't know, I don't know what it is, but he is in a parking lot and his fans outside of this fence and they are giving it up for Red Jail. I'm talking about he loves it.

Yes. And it's amazing and I love that. But I think that people just was happy to see the moment between brother and sister. You know what I'm saying? Because we haven't seen them together in a while. And let's be clear, Ray J is one of the great. greatest performers living today.

What? I don't care. What y'all say? Absolutely. You can put Chris Brown. Usher. What are you saying? You try and I'm trying to control on the end words I use.

You're trying to tell me Ray J. Not is entertaining. You're not more. You compare it to Chris Brown. Yes. That's a different. Yes. Showmanship on stage.

He's not Chris Brown. You said I didn't say showmanship. You said showmish. You said entertainment. But when you compare him to Chris Brown, what do you think you do? I know. I didn't say showmanship. Words matter.

I say Ray J is one of the most entertaining. Entertainers out here today, which he is. And that you are right about it. Yes. He's going out there. He is very entertaining. He's more entertaining on social media than Chris Brown and Usher. He's going on social media.

And when he hit that stage, depending on what song he does. No, I'm not. No, it's not. I'm riding with Ray. What? That clip that you talk about, yes. That was a control. This guy.

I'm riding with Ray. What up, Ray? I want to know what he smoked this one. Bulls and ghosts, Ray, back to back. Oh, my God. I was actually trying to get Ray J to do a Zoom with me so he could talk to us about the moment with Brandy because I knew it would be way more entertainment.

And trying to chase Ray Jett, he said, just landed in Miami. I was like, it's never happening. Yeah. Because he's busy. He's probably doing the show there. Yeah, they're outside. I can't wait till Ray Jop come out on one of them stages

and do sexy can I and everybody be like, oh, shoot, that was the bop. Then he'd hit him with a wait a minute. then you're going to be like, oh, Ray got records. But it doesn't go with the Brandy and Monica tour. It doesn't. If I have one wish. No, it does not.

It's not I wish. Why I can't Monica and Brandy don't got uptembo records? Yeah, they do. But he's like, yo, but Ray don't take it serious enough. This is a serious tour. This is great. Like, no, I don't know. I actually love that Ray J.

All right. Well, that is Ray J. It's Raja. And Michael Jackson. Chris Brown. That's crazy. Crazy. Okay, Ray up there with Michael.

Yo, you know what? No. Entertainment-wise? It's the breakfast. You know, you probably get my involved with you. Next day. Good morning. Let's go.

Let's go. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Hilarious. Shalami and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Hopefully you guys had an amazing Halloween. Salute to everybody I've seen out there trick-or-treating.

Always a great time. My kids loved it. You just said you don't do trick-or-treating because you're muffling now. Could you make up your goddamn mind? You just. I said a pastor told you not to do Halloween. This guy is something else, bro. Why do we even listen to him?

I didn't say that. This guy is crazy. I said we don't celebrate it like we used to. We used to do these huge videos every year. We used to decorate our house and really celebrate it to that effect. But we still let the kids trick-a-treatness. You can't be half-gay. Okay?

All right. Well, you're seven-eighthaves, but you do celebrate Christmas. Because this is what I want to tell you. If you put your lips on it, you still- Right, right. Oh, you're seven-day Adventists? It don't matter whether you're starting to put your lips on it. I don't know what the hell that means.

What is a seven-day adventure? I didn't say seven-day Adventist. Is that you? What are you talking about? What is this guy talking about? Do you celebrate Christmas? Do I celebrate Christmas? Yes.

Why would I ask you got to ask him to take that question again? I don't know what the hell he's trying to get at. What are you trying to say? Forget it, never mind. This guy is so bad. Didn't he say earlier his past and told him not to celebrate Halloween no more? He don't do it no more. How did I clarify?

He said, he said, he said, he said, he said, He didn't want to, like, do a deep dive into it. He just wanted to, you know what I'm saying? Like, they got to gala back a little bit because of the demons and all that. Like, he didn't want to really be into it, into it. Thank you for listening. Yeah, but with six kids, it's hard. Then I celebrate it at all.

So it's like he, like I said, whether you put the in or put it in all the way, you're still gay. Oh, my God. That's what you got out of it. You know what? That's Shalerman. You got a positive note. No, wait.
