Daniel, this tournament has been magical so far. There's so much to love and I can hardly believe the drama that the group stage brought us.

And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit, season two, is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more amages to enslave. than there were to enslave people.

Good morning. It's the breakfast. Club, Justillaria, Charlemagne, and Envy is out. We got Lauren LaRosa in. Let's get to some front page news. Real quick in sports NBA, we got Mitchell Robinson signed a three-year

47.4 million dollar contract with the Boston Celtics. Okay, that's what's up. Yeah, and LeBron James is officially leaving the L.A. Lakers, according to his agent, clutch sports, CEO, Rich Paul. And we'll, come on, y'all can't be making

Yeah, I know, I know, but they was killing up until this point, so don't do that. And that's all we need to worry. Oh, Morocco was killing it too. So shout out to all the blacks over there giving it. And what's up, Mimi? What's up, Jeff? How are you doing this morning? Good morning, Mimi.

Good morning. Okay, so we would start this morning in the nation's capital. where a 4th of July March by a white supremacist group is drawing national headlines. Did you guys see this yesterday by chance or over the weekend, should I say? Yeah, it's crazy. I must say. Yeah, let's talk about it. Yeah, so hundreds of masked members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front.

They marched through Washington, D.C. carrying Confederate flags while chanting, reclaim America, and life, liberty and victory. So the march happened as President Trump kicked off America's 250. birthday celebration of praising the nation's founding and highlighting what he calls America's resurgence. Let's listen to a little bit of his speech. For two and a half centuries, our American Republic has stood as the crowning achievement of human history. This country is the home of freedom. This is the land of liberty. And this is a flag that's the banner of the most extraordinary, most exceptional, most incredible nation.

ever to exist on the face of the earth, and we're doing better now than we've ever done before. Okay, well, some people would beg to differ from that last statement. But later, there were severe storms that forced thousands of people attending the Freedom 250 Celebration to take shelter. Now, the irony was not lost on social media on this. So thousands of attendees ended up inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture. you know, that's the museum that the Trump administration has repeatedly criticized over its portrayal of race in American history. They called for some of the artifacts to come down saying it didn't really represent America.

But I don't know. Did you guys see those photos of like hundreds of people who were stuck there? Apparently there was like a lot of stuff. Yeah, bring your ass in here. An ancestor should have been haunting ass, period. Yeah. A lot of people said that. A lot of people said that.

And another image from the day that also went viral, it shows a black woman sitting on a metro train. surrounded by thousands of members of that same white supremacist group, Patriot Front. Now, many on social media are calling it one of the defining images of America today. Yeah, it was taken by a Reuters photographer. So there were no reported arrest. The Secretary of Interior who oversees the National Park Service and many federal public land says that he strongly disagrees with the group's belief. But he added that the First Amendment protects even offensive speech. So basically saying that those white supremacists had a right to be out there.

Say what they want, do what they want. I mean, it's new. Yeah, exactly. And then next story. So if you rely on Planned Parenthood for birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing, or other routine health care, there is good news this morning. So Medicaid coverage has been restored for Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide.

So as of Saturday, Planned Parenthood clinics can once, again, bill the federal government for non-abortion health care services provided to low-income Medicaid patients. Now, that's because the one-year Medicaid funding ban that was included in the GOP's big, beautiful bill that has officially expired. So because of that bill for the last year, if you needed to go for any just health cap smears, anything like that, you could not go and it be billed to the federal government. But now as of Saturday, that ban has been lifted. So if you need to go, you can now go. Planned Parenthood says the funding cut off.

The funding cut off, it led to about 30 clinics closing and reducing access to care for thousands of patients. So some Republicans, though, they are already pushing to bring that ban back. But in the interim, while it's not there, if you need it, you can now go back and it can be billed to Medicaid. So huge win for those who need that coverage and for Planned Parenthood this morning. Yes. No, Mimi, thank you. What's coming up in a 7 o'clock now? Absolutely.

So coming up at 7, we have new details after a 4th of July celebration ended in gunfire. What investigators are saying happened this morning there in New York. So we'll talk about that next. Okay. Thank you. And get it off your chest is up next. Call up if you're having problems. If you're not, no, that's just fixing my mess.

Call up if you want to get something off your chest. If you said, if you're happy, whatever you did over the weekend, over the break. How much you missed us? 1-800-5-85-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. Lizzie, what up?

Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool. I want to hear from you on the breakfast club. We can get on the phone right now. We'll tell you what it is. We live! Good morning.

I'm echoing like crazy. So I wanted to say, Happy Birthday to Charlemagne. And I saw Envy and Lauren doing B to this weekend. And I saw Envy doing Essence with Lauren and y'all did

That's it Good morning Lauren Good morning You caught a pit to start some trouble again today She started some trouble last time I think you was on that call talking about Drake before right Listen I am pleading the fifth I am pleading the fifth

I just Well I'm about to start another problem Too this red card flip Change made by the White House to Pisa Oh with the player that wasn't able to play At first Listen that is so corrupt What happened

So the American player got a red card and got throwing out and therefore wouldn't be able to play the game that's coming up. And Trump made a call to FIFA and they reversed the red card and they're now letting him play. Why wasn't he allowed to play before?

Because he got a red card which means that you're throwing out of the game. Oh, okay. Oh, so he just straight up cheated. Listen, this whole thing is so corrupt. If you watch Netflix, nudge, wink, wink, there is a great documentary about FIFA

and the problems that they've had within FIFA. Hmm. Okay. Which is the exact same thing. It should have never happened. It goes against every rule. Once the card is given, once the player is exited. Yeah, it can't be revoked. It just, that's a rule.

And the fact that the president was leave the call and got it reversed just looks like Team USA and the USA period is just whining and complaining and got what they wanted because there was a whole country. Bullies. Oh, my God. Well, thank you. I just learned something new because I ain't really been paying attention to FIFA since Mexico was out now. I know, right? What a game last night. Oh, my goodness.

Yes, man. Okay, well, thank you, baby, girl. No problem. Have a great day, and happy July 4th. Thanks, baby. Hello, who's this? This is Tiffany. Good morning, Tiffany.

This Chris Brown and Usher Town, sir, had everybody so rowdy to the point where one of the people who said that they were VIP ran over my foot now I'm out of work for a home damn did you even get pulled on stage and pumped on a little bit no the lady ain't okay so I worked for the company that does the parking

for the Ford field oh yeah and she wasn't supposed to go that way and she kept saying well I don't see i see i'm here i see a Chris Brown baby everybody with me i peeve for pitts for pitts as long as you pay for them too you ain't no important real good quick. How much was the tickets? How much was those tickets? The VIP? Yeah. They went from anywhere from $600 to $1,200. Oh, okay, okay. And what was the regular ticket? You don't know?

Nah, they were cheap, though. They was like maybe $150, $175. Oh, that's what's up. That's what's up. Okay. Because I saw people complaining about the price. I'm like, no.

I'm just a little upset because as part of the crew,

So this podcast lets us uncover all of that together. We're going to have these meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people. Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression.

I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice, but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us. We just have to find it. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My husband is currently on a vacation with his mistress and I'm confronting them. Tell me, Sophia, how did she even catch them? One Amazon shopping receipt.

He accidentally sent her a photo of the kid's Christmas gifts with a delivery to another woman at the bottom. He exposed himself? That's a rookie move. Couples, massages, monogrammed bath robes, and lingerie he memowed her for. So she spent four weeks gathering evidence and taped a 10-page letter inside his luggage before he flew out. In his luggage, she came to play.

And the second he landed, he blocked her. So she called the hotel room directly and got the mistress on the phone. Ooh, she got the mistress live on the phone? That is a bold move. Let's see if it pays off. Then it gets worse. He took the mistress on the Bahamas honeymoon trip he had planned with his wife. And then the mistress tagged him on Facebook, outing the fair to her entire family.

That's like a whole public confession. And spoiler, two years later, karma hits him so hard. he's calling his ex-wife in tears saying about the mistress, what a mistake that was. To find out what happened, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, everybody, it's the Jonas Brothers. This week on the podcast, Hey Jonas, we're so excited to be hanging out with Mika Abdallah from the hit show off campus. Congratulations on the massive show and massive success. Got through about episode five. I left the next morning to go meet the guys. Came back. It was like, cool, let's pick up where we left off. And that series had been completely. deleted without me.

Oh, no. That's like the number one rule of watching something. It's literally cheating. It's cheating. That's crazy. We talk about what it's been like watching the show become such a massive hit. What's next for season two? And just how close the off-campus cast really is.

We're genuinely so close. What's the group chat called? If you can say, if it's allowed to be said on the pod. That's a great question. One of them is off-campus Brazil. Okay. Love it. Shout out Brazil.

Shout out Brazil. And then the boys have their own group chat. Called Dean's B. Our conversation with Mika Abdallah is out now. Go check it out. Listen to Hey Jonas in the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Good morning. It's the Breakfast Club.

Jess Salarias, DJ, Envi, and Charlemagne is out. Lauren is in. Let's get to the latest with Lord. Let's get to the latest with Lord. My bad girl. What? What do you want to know? The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio, the black radio. That sources trust.

Did you hear that exclusive? Lauren. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. She'd be having the latest talking. You ask the question. They need to be answered. On the breakfast club. If little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

L.L. Cubey, talk to me. To me. Yes. Shout out to Sherry Shepherd. Saw her over the weekend at Essence Festival. She was hosting on the second night of the concerts. That's my girl. Yes.

She did an amazing job. Her and Kenny Burns. But we're going to talk a bit about the love over the weekend. Taylor Swift was married over the. was married over the weekend at Madison Square Garden. See? So it was a suitable venue for everybody. You know what's crazy?

You talk about suitable? Because at first when the rumors were breaking that this was going to happen, we were having a conversation to hear about whether it would make sense or not, because how can it be intimate? Yeah. But the way that all of the reporting was from people that attended and just from different outlets was that they built it into a very intimate experience. So, you know, there was different conversations about the fact that Adam Sandler

officiated the way. Wow. That's what's up. Yeah. That's my guy. Yeah. There were over a thousand friends in attendance, which we knew would be happening because we were talking a lot about that number leading into it. But people were surprised how intimate it was and intimate it was. And they said it like the reception was very whimsical. Wizard of Eyes, Vaz. But I think the biggest thing for me, like I knew, I mean, it's Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. I knew there were going to be a lot of people. We said a thousand. But there was a lot of people I didn't expect to just be at like Ashanti Nelly. They posted videos even the web. I saw Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens, Nisi Nash and Jessica Betts leaving Vanessa and Natalia Brian as well. Sierra and Russell Wilson posted photos like they're like you know in their outfits in her home I guess before they went to the wedding.

Oh Taylor probably cool with everybody. She thought you know how they be talking about. You know how everybody was talking about Lala Anthony and everybody like she friends with everybody. Taylor probably low-key friends with everybody. It's Taylor Swift. It was cool as hell. So it was either the Taylor Swift wedding that you were at over 4th of July weekend, Essence Festival, or Mike Rubin's party. Now, Essence Festival, me and you were down in New Orleans for Essence Festival.

Shout out to Essence. It was my first time during the festival, like the full weekend of it. Ain't nothing beloved of Essence Festival. Period. Like, I mean, from the generational conversations, I hosted the first day of the stage, the main stage. So there were a ton of different conversations going on. You also at concerts happening as well, too.

But on the stage at Essence Festival, just, I'm not going to be able to get everything in. But you had Dr. Bernice King and Dr. Chabazz, who are the daughters, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. They spoke about legacy and leadership and resilience. Kiki Palmer hosted a Pilates class. I ran into her and, um,

Envy's car show was on the ground, which was crazy. I bet it was so dope. He had a bodega built out in. A bodega? A bodega built. And you could actually go in and get like quarter waters and different things. I knew that. See, he's Dominican.

Oh my God. Listen, you know Shalua had fun with this. Why would he put it? a bodega. Why would you, what's you even doing bringing a bodega down in New Orleans? I don't know, but the people was loving it. Why would you even do that? When him, everything was like, outside of like

some of the cars, everything was so New York. He was dressed, he looked like a Nick player. He was dressed. Yeah, he's still happy off that. Yeah, and the orange and blue. So shout out to Envy and the team that brought the car show there. You had the whole BeautyCon section and BeautyCon stage, a ton of different entrepreneurs. Candy Burrs

had to set up over there in the BeautyCon stage with candy coated. Cardi B spoke on the beauty con stage but also yeah she performed the first night her Kailani and a lotto perform the first night and i saw some uh you know recaps of her performance that cardi B was doing where she said she wasn't happy let's take a listen i'm a little bit mad about yesterday because i just noticed that yesterday when i was performing i kept screaming that's because i really felt like i couldn't i felt like y'all couldn't hear me like performing in the stadium is definitely different than performing the arena honey but that's going to be my goal

I'm going to make that as a goal. One of my goals is to have a show, a Cardi B show, a real Cardi B show at a stadium. I don't know if I could do it, but I definitely see the difference. Like, God damn, I felt like nobody could hear me. Everything was echoing. But next time I ever performing a stadium, I know the trick.

Let's take a listen to some of her performance, because I didn't feel that way being there in person. Let's take a listen. We have a snippet of the performance we should, no? Where is it? It is listed, and, Give me one second. But yeah, being there in person, though,

I did not feel like that. So it was lit, like it was a whole... So the date before, the whole night. We got it on. Go ahead. You got it. Follow after bottle. Not the bottles in this mall.

For my friend, tears. They're like models in the small. Doing n'hs need the dollars in the small. Yeah. Yeah. Yellow. She definitely was Meek Milling. All over.

You know what's crazy, though. In the actual, like, arena, it just felt like her. energy was up because everybody was so excited. Even the sign language interpreters from Essence Festival, they went viral. Girl, I knew what he was. No, you don't understand. I mean, like, they were signing down to, like, the sounds that you were saying.

From this song to me, dreams and nightmares, like, they literally went viral because they understood the assignment for real, for real. So it just felt like the energy was up. I know that that people was home like, oh my God. Girl, straight giving. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yeah, but a lot of people pointed out that in that,

particular part of the performance she had replaced because normally she would have said loto there she replaced it with barty but oh okay yeah you know you know people gonna grab the face so was it any because you was actually down there was any like swarming's or anything about them afterwards like hosting having a conversation all love at essence missal i promise you like all love that we that wasn't even that's no i mean like of them like having a conversation because remember the last thing i know was the apology the second apology that carty came out not not that i know of but i'm be honest with you like i doubt if either one of those ladies even had the time if they did i was i'm It's beyond me.

I don't know that information. But yeah, but there was so much happening. You had, you know, Cardi at Beauty Con stage and she's performing. I saw a lot out on Bourbon Street also performing there as well, too. Like, it was so much happening. And I think when you're there, it doesn't, like, I really understood when Charlotte may be yelling about what's happening in real time versus on Twitter in different places. Because being there in person, that was the furthest thing for my mind of that.

The second night you had baby phase, you had Miss Patty LaBelle on stage. like Leon Thomas hit the stage. Oh my God. They did a whole tribute to Alia, the closing night. Normani, Ryan Destiny, Maya. Oh, I love me from Ryan Destiny. That's the last thing for my mind.

Because it was just, I don't know, it just was like such a feel good weekend. And Essence Festival is that. So shout out to the Essence Festival team for having us there, me, NV, and I have a lot of live conversations that I'll be posting to the latest with Lauren and Rosa, the podcast

from the Essence Festival. If you guys did not get a chance to make it out, I'll be taking you right on this. I did see Tiana. Let me tell you something about Tiana Taylor. I want to take a second to say this. So Tiana Taylor's team, you know how she was the cultural curator for the festival weekend, right?

When I say they were actually there working on foot. You saw all of her team in the auntie's jumpsuits all weekend, really, really working. I mean, sound, production, just doing the things. And she took a second to actually have a live conversation with her best friend Coco, who also works on the auntie's production company with her. Just about like chasing your dreams and figuring it out. your own way. Yeah.

And that conversation, I actually stopped and watched that conversation live. Yeah. Because, like, again, you just, you saw all of what she was talking about. Like, I mean,

the festival was packed full of people. There was so many people. But I was actually told that this year, there was a lot more people there this year than there was last year, which is crazy because it was so much noise around us since last year. But yeah,

we had a good time. And shout out to Tiana Taylor and her team. They did an amazing job. We're pulling that off. A lot of people to curate and they got it done. So, okay, well, that's what's up. Are we doing it? You don't do this after, though, right here.

No, talk talk later. I was trying to make sure you know I'm the end of the day. No, talk later. They wasn't at essence. Oh, all right. All right. So that was the latest with Lauren. So over the weekend, I was talking about my third annual 4th of July cookout that me and my husband threw at our house, right?

And I was talking to y'all about saying that nobody talks about the labor of love, you know, because I love when people have fun and they feel the love at my events because I put so much into it. I love people to walk away from my events like, oh, the experience was great. But two things, people come and enjoy themselves. They love the festivities. And then we as host, we're stuck cleaning up the next day, everything. And when people got kids that they can't control.

And then I got to beat some of my kids. So after Front Page News coming up, we're going to take some calls because I need to give somebody a donkey. Okay. And it's going to be a few of my family members and a couple of my friends. Okay. Don't bring your kids if you can't control it. I'm almost drown somebody kid. on purpose

so coming up next Front page news y'all and after that Donkey. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, it's the Breakfast Club. It's your girl Jess Salary and N.V.R. out. Lauren LaR. is in. Let's get to some front page news. In sports real quick, Mitchell Robinson signed a three-year

47.4 million dollar contract with the Boston Celtics and LeBron James is officially leaving the Lakers according to his agent. He's supposed to be doing a documentary two of this last season. be like a deal that he worked out or something like that. So people think it's the last one. Yeah. I mean, because like where is he going to go? Well, no.

He's like retired, right? No, he's going to go to a team. But that next season he plays, they're supposed to be a documentary deal around it. So people think that this may be the season that he'll play last and then he'll announce retire. They always think that though. Okay, cool. And then Morocco was killing Canada, period.

And Mexico lost, but we was up at first. So shout out to England a little bit. Hey, what's up, me, man. Good morning, Jeff. Lauren how y'all doing this morning? Doing good. How you doing? Oh, and I'm at FIFA World Cup, y'all. I'm sorry because they're going to be like the country's fighting. So, my bad, I didn't mean to say that.

Yeah, I was talking about FIFA World Cup, y'all. I didn't. I think Mimi was going to clear it up. Oh, my bad. Go ahead, me, me, because girl, they're going to get into it. We're going to get into it. We have a FIFA story ourselves. But before we get there, we're going to start this hour with some heartbreaking news this hour. So please say a 4th of July family barbecue in Brooklyn turned into a mass shooting after a mass gunman. Open fire in a crowd in Coney Island. So investigators say the suspect walked up to a courtyard, yeah, fired multiple rounds through a fence and then ran away.

Eight people were shot, including four children between the ages of six and 14. A 21-year-old woman remains in critical condition while the other victims are expected to survive. Now, police have not made any arrest, any arrest and are investigating whether the shooting may be connected to a deadly shooting on the same block, just days earlier. Let's listen to a resident who lived nearby. It was crazy. And also with the July 4 traffic, the police couldn't get out.

It was just, it was unbelievable. And now it's quiet like nothing ever happened. If you go by there, see, you see bikes, you see children's toys, it's horrible to walk by there. This can't happen again. Coney Island has to step up. We're one of the best places here in New York.

It was never like this. I grew up in Coney Island. We knew everybody. We knew everyone. We have to take charge. I definitely understand. I understand that. That sounds like an angry person who, like she said, when she grew up like that, like,

I'm sure everybody in Baltimore, we had our six flags, even though they just closed it in Maryland. But that's what we grew up on. People grew up on Bush Gardens, King's Dominion. Of course, for New York, it's Coney Island. And that's sad that that had to happen. But you said the kids didn't die, right, the four and a six-year-old? Yeah, they said that everybody is. in critical condition.

Critical condition, yeah, and they are, you know, just kind of watching and waiting to see what happens. Let's keep them in our prayers. Jesus. Yeah. You know, police say they did recover a handgun with an extended magazine and at least 10 shell casings at the scene. But again, no arrests and investigators are now looking into whether the shooting is connected to a gang-related homicide on that same block. And Mayor is Ron Mondami. Yeah, he's weighing in and he called the attack unacceptable.

and he's vowing to use every available resource to find those who are responsible. So we will continue to watch that. And now to a family in Delaware, this family is demanding answers after a 19-year-old was shot and killed by a Wilmington police officer. So the family, they've now watched the body cam video. Their attorneys, Harry Daniels and nationally known civil rights attorney Ben Crump, they say it shows Kadir Skinner running away. from being chased by a dog.

They say Skinner never turned around and officers threatened him. He never turned around or threatened the officers before he was shot. Let's listen to attorneys. At no time that could dare make any threatening moves, position that what we saw in the video that suggests anything warranted

to be shot. We heard him say, I can't breathe 20 times after he was shot and it was just hard to watch. Yeah. This is in Delaware. Lauren, do you know anything about this case? Anything extra? Well, this happened literally a few blocks from like where I grew up.

This is my grandmother's neighborhood. And before Ben Crump came and like just listening to the family speaking, I was, I've been sending it to you probably for like, what, like about like three to like all weekend. Because I was like even if this doesn't make national news, I'd heard that. And you can let me know from what they saw on the body cam and me. I didn't read the reports after that. I had heard that at one point he was handcuffed while he was shot, correct? Oh, wow.

Yeah. And when I heard that piece of it, I was like, something is just not right. We need to like be talking about this. Like, that's insane. You're shot. Why are you handcuffed? Like, I don't know. That was.

Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot happening. And I think that they're investigated are trying to get to the bottom of this. And I do think with Ben Crump coming in, a lot of things are coming to the like. So they initially were not able to see that. police cam video. They've now seen that police cam video. But police, they are telling a different story. They say Skinner have pointed a gun toward a group of people before officers chased him. They say they recovered that handgun after the shooting, but have not said whether he was holding

it when he was shot. Now, the officer who did the shooting, he is on administrative leave, while the Delaware Department of Justice, they investigate. And that agency says it plans to release the body cam footage publicly after blurring the faces of body. bystanders. So we should be getting that hopefully sometime this week. And so everyone will be able to see that. And like you said, Lauren, just kind of see what really happened. There's a lot of questions. A lot of questions. His family is like so all of the interviews I've watched with his family, they're like, we just want to, we just want transparency because there's so many unanswered questions that they had. They saw the body cam video, but they still have so many questions. Right. I can't even imagine. Real sad.

Absolutely. Well, thank you, Mimi. Of course, more questions and answers. And really quickly, before we run out of here, someone called in earlier about that FIFA reversing the suspension of the team USA's leading score. Filarin, the logon, I think is his name. I just wanted to say that Belgium is now,

they are now asking for that suspension to be overturned. So we shall see if he is on the field tonight. Just we basically cheated. That's what we did. Well, they're saying that the president, he kind of, like you said, he made a phone call, yo, put him back in the game right now. And yeah, put them in the game, those. And they said, okay.

Yeah, exactly. And so Belgium is saying that FIFA broke his own rules by overturning that automatic suspension, and they are now appealing that decision. And then the damn president tweeted and said, thank you. Thank you, FIFA. I know FIFA was probably like, yo, why would you put us on blast like that, stupidie? Anyway. Yeah.

Yeah. So we shall see. We'll see what happens. that game is tonight in Seattle. So we'll see how that goes if President Trump's call keeps the leading score for the U.S. in the game. Well, thank you, Mimi. I appreciate that.

That is your front page news. For more stories, follow me at Mimi Brown TV. All right, and coming up next, we're going to open up the phone lines because you were talking about essence and all the love and everything over there. But that's big girl trip vibes. I met so many groups of girlfriends.

because everybody, everybody not like you and then you see the real colors of everybody when, like the third day. You know what I mean? Like, it's different personalities, y'all.

Like I said, you've got like different girls. So you've got like, the one who thinks she in charge of everybody, the one who, the one who, the it's what we're going to do. You need her, though,

because she wake up early and make your breakfast is cool. I know, but then she thinks she's somebody mother. She gets that, you know, if we're not on time, then she start fussing too much. Just like, don't play with me like that, because don't do that.

Four? Okay. I like that. I say three. Before is cool. Four, because the second day, girls already be missing their men. And by the third day, to every day, discursions or whatever they've done

it's time to go when they're working. Yeah. I like that. Okay. See, that's like my friend group. We don't have like the issues amongst each other. Yeah.

But we do get to a point where we'd be out for a night. I remember we went to poor minds and me and all my home girls. And the whole night we was like, we love each other to death, but we got men. My men and my men.

But if you all were single, it would be different. It would be. That was a different era. You just be there for all the ones. Absolutely. Come on. Who's this?

Oh, look, and she just, and Lauren, Lauren was close enough. She said that. Okay, what's up? How long is too long to be on a girl's trip? No more than three days. When bitches get horny and then they start a trip. Ah! You gay?

Let me ask you that real quick. I'm trying sex. I'll try anything once. I know that's right. I know that's right. That was me back in the day. All right. Well, good.

Thank you, Kasha. It's all good, bitch. She's saying like she's still trying. Good morning. Who's this? Good morning. This is Aisha calling from Brooklyn. Good morning.

Aisha calling from Brooklyn. How long is too long for the girls' trip? Let me tell you something. I've been on several girls' trips. And I always have my own room. So I be with them, but not with them. Period. And they know Aisha going to disappear after some time.

Because I can't deal with it. Majority is girls' trips. It's a whole bunch of girls' girls. going together that don't even really like each other. Period. It is always that. And then you know what another thing be, yo, another thing. I appreciate that. But another thing be when you're trying to match different friend groups.

You have groups of friends. See, I have done that and I didn't go as well. Exactly, because I've done that. That's why we ended up fighting. We all love each other. I won't be beefing on a trip. But I have had to learn to not match friend groups, to not mesh certain groups.

Because even though it's all love, it's just certain people just don't. They don't get on. They don't match. And then now you in the middle. Looking crazy. Because you're friends with everybody. Yes.

Oh, my God, yes. Yeah, that's like oil and water. Call us up at 1-800-5-1501. Me and Lauren talking about how long is too long to be on a girl's trip.

After, like, the third day, I think I'm going to be ready to go home, especially because I got a man now. Now, when I was single, it was different. I'd be on there six and a day.

Yeah. And I think that the beauty about essence was, I was just mentioning this to you, they had stuff for the guys and the girls. So I saw a lot of groups that I was meeting where, like, hubby and his friends might be there as well, but you get to go have your time with your girls.

They go over the envy car show and then y'all link back up. So it makes the three days that I feel as long. But, yeah. That's what's up. That's what's up. Well, how are we going to the phone calls? I'm going to the phone lines.

Good morning. Who this? Hey, Jess. How you doing, girls? Hey, grub. Who's this? What's your name? My name is Shikala.

I'm calling for South Carolina. Hey, South Carolina. What's up? Shikaela? Go, let us know. How long is too long? Okay. Okay.

Too long is five days, especially when you go with people who you didn't even plan a trip with. So basically I had won a trip like a few years ago with my home girl, home girl, mama family, and we always, she was supposed to plan a trip. We sent our money and everything. We're supposed to stay on Burma Street. We get their hotel overbooked. We had to end up staying like 45 minutes away at the Red Roof Inn,

and they had roaches that way. It was hot. Oh, my God. You said they had roaches and was hot? It was road to, it was roaches in the hotel. And y'all left y'all stop in there. Literally, I slaved your car and eat. Oh, my God.

One night, I just couldn't take it. Then we got real drunk on Burma Street. We was driving back one night. Mind you, like I said, it's a 45-minute drive. My home grandma drove us off a bridge. I woke up. The Lord woke me up. He said, Kayla, wake up before we drove off the side of the bridge.

And so this was day five, this was day five or day four? This is like day two. Oh, yeah, no, yeah. You never went back on the ship with them again, right? Absolutely not. I said, you know what? cool move we missed out in the last few days I was over

Find 2010's The Decade on the free IHeart Radio app. Preset the station, so it's always one tap away. Hey, I'm Hoda Kotby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby. know me, you know this. I'm always searching for inspiration, for support, and useful tools to

help maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover all of that together. We're going to have these meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people, like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand. understand postpartner depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us.

We just have to find it. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My husband is currently on a vacation with his mistress and I'm confronting them. Tell me, Sophia, how did she even catch them? One Amazon shopping receipt. He accidentally sent her a photo of the kids' Christmas gifts with a delivery to another woman at the bottom. He exposed himself? That's a rookie move. Couples massages, monogrammed bath robes, and lingerie he then-mowed her for. So she spent four weeks gathering evidence and taped a 10-page letter inside his luggage before he flew out. In his luggage, she came to play. And the second he landed, he blocked her. So she called the hotel room directly and got the mistress on the phone.

Ooh, she got the mistress live on the phone? That is a bold move. Let's see if it pays off. Then it gets worse. He took the mistress on the Bahamas honeymoon trip he had planned with his wife. And then the mistress tagged him on Facebook, outing the fair to her entire family. That's like a whole public confession. And spoiler, two years later, karma hits him so hard he's calling his ex-wife in tears saying about the mistress. What a mistake that was. To find out what happened, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, Jonas Brothers.

We talk about her new movie, Anola Holmes 3, family life, and all the amazing things she has going on right now. This blew my mind when I saw this, Millie Bobby Brown. You have over 60 animals.

First of all, how do you even keep track of everybody? And second, do you have favorites? Who are they and why? Yeah, I need to know about this. Okay. I don't know where the number's 60, and I really got to figure that out, and I could actually have over 60.

I just need to really know that number. There have been plenty of sheep in my bed, and yeah, I'm in the bed, literally sleeping in the bed, yeah. Plus, we find out what she really feels about Stranger Things ending. Five seasons, almost 10 years of your life. I could have never have gotten.

I started it. I starship when I was 10 years old. Our conversation with Millie Bobby Brown is out now. Go check it out. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Like, okay, I'm going to talk to you in about a month because I'm good, are you? Yeah. You got to take some friends in doses. You can't have too many, too much. Can't have too much time with them.

Yeah, they wear the welcome out. Okay, cool. Thank you, girl. Good morning. Who is? This is Lance and Columbus. Good morning. What's up? Listen, I was watching on that because I'm like, while I'm at work, while I'm at work while you're talking about the girls' trip, type of it.

Uh-huh. For real, you just need a three-day minimum, not minimal, maximum, because the beginning, the first day, that's when everybody getting in an hotel. Yay, dinner, okay, bye. Second day, we get together, we do a couple activities, and then the third day, you go back home. Because I love my girlfriends. I love them all.

I'm the only going to go to husband. And so, you already got that one friend. who's steady complaining about everything. Oh, girl, I just wish I had a man. We're going to go get you one. Yeah, stop sitting around wishing. The hell? Yeah.

Just doing too much. And I just be like, I love you. You gotta relax. And so, like, we've been, for instance, college over 15 years now. You know what I mean? So I was like, it's always the key when we get together. But at a certain point, like, we're living separate lives. Just a lot.

Yeah, yeah. It's just best to go living that boundaries. me be cool for a couple days, and then I'll talk to y'all next year. See, because that ain't nothing that we got in common, so you still expect me to be the same as I was before I got married. I have a question then. Yeah, what? Why are not?

So why don't y'all curate the time that you spend with people? How much time you spend with certain people knowing that, though? Like, going into it. Like, it's certain things and certain people that I'm just not putting myself in that position. I'm spending money to be somewhere. But that was her friend since college, so she probably wanted to feel some type of way. Now she's probably worse because her friend is married. You know what?

I learned from. girls trips trying to mesh friends trying to force situations just be sometimes you outgrow certain things and it's okay like I might got a that certain friend I might got to be like now we happy our friends we don't need to go nowhere for five days if the conversation ain't conversation in no more I agree I agree with that so what's the moral of the story I actually like what she just said we both were saying that you can't mesh friends you just got to understand the girl's trip is not just about like where you're going and what you're doing it's about what energy you're bringing into like sitting in this chair,

what energy you're bringing into your life, that understanding, what you're about to put yourself into because that's a lot of time with people that you might not have nothing to talk about with. Right. At six days, what's the longest trip you've been on? I think the longest trip I did.

We went to Paris for a friend's birthday. I think that was about like a week. But again, I knew who I was going to trip with. We all enjoy each other and love each other. And even when we get on each other, nerves, you get home, you take that 24 hours and you're cool. But I had to learn the hard way through not even trips, just experiences

where people understand who you go places with, especially out the country. Out of the country is a whole different type of situation. Yeah, because if we're getting into it. Now, I remember I got into it out Belize with one of my old friends. The shame my friend tomorrow. I did not want to go to jail in Belize. I was like, oh, my gosh.

Which are you? What you made, what we did? What did you about to go to jail for? Oh, no, because I was going to fight her. Oh. And I didn't want to go to jail in Belize. Yeah. Yeah, because they would have dragged us up out of there.

They already was eyeing this because they saw this argument. It was like a root-top club. and I did not want to go to jail but she kept trying me and it was it was a lot I tripped her she fell she got her like she went to fight it was a lot I tripped on purpose girl well yeah okay you gotta know

what you're inviting in you tripped or not you got to period yeah what we're talking about the latest Lauren we're gonna talk about speaking of the girls and the trips and the girls night spin that Young Miami song has become like the narration of all those things

and there's an argument right now on whether or not we should be accepting that song in the culture That's crazy. I don't know why we shouldn't. I mean, we don't talk about it. It's an anthem for a market out there, for an audience, for an audience out there. It's a whole market. That's my old tribe. All right, Charles. Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. It's the breakfast club. Your girl, Jesselari is saying Charlemagne and NVR out, but Lauren LaRosa is in and let's get to the latest with Lauren.

The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio, the black radio. That sources trust. Did you hear that exclusive? Lauren. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. She'd be having the latest talking. You ask the question.

They need to be answered. On the breakfast club. If little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. L.L. Cubey. Talk to me. All right, y'all. So there is a conversation that is happening around Young Miami's Spinnet song, which has been climbing the Billboard charts,

which she's been excited about. And the conversation is about a boycott and whether this is degrading to our culture. Boycotting. Yeah, so there was a person that posted on a thread talking about that there should be a boycott of the song because there's power in music and perception and the values that it reinforces and that this is the song, spin that is degrading to our culture. Now, India, I re got into the conversation. She says, I spent my entire adult life caring way too much because I finally learned that not everybody cares of the capital C. And explaining it to them is not going to make them care.

Everything you listen to see or eat is going to influence you. so make wise choices y'all. And then she commented and she talks about how the mass acceptance of the song itself is a crystal clear sign of the bigger problem.

She says, India, I said, I finally realized that not everybody wants to get free. It was a very rude awakening, right? So that sparked a conversation online. Indiairee, you know,

has doubled, not double down, but she's come back and made more statements talking about, you know, she did not say that anybody need to boycott the song. Let's take a listen

to, It is being wrongly reported that I think we should boycott this song of the summer. I'm not going to tell you what it is because I refuse to sing that song. Either you know what it is or you don't. If you don't, you can go find it. It's very easy. But I don't think we should boycott. What I want is to see people understand the power of words and music and to make choices that

are healthy for them. That's what I want. Do I think it matters what I want for people? No. All I can do is emanate what I emanate, stand for what I stand for and hope that it reaches who is meant to reach. And there are a lot of people who are saying, it's just a song. Well, if that's what you think?

But what I know is that music has power. I have used that power to help some people. And I have traveled around this world twice. And I see the impact of what we export out of the black American experience to the rest of the world. So I know. And I'm telling you what it is. But you enjoy if that's what you want to do. And I will enjoy doing what I want to do.

I actually don't think anything is wrong with what she said. And I do also like her taking a stand. Like, no, I ain't say boycott it. You know what I'm saying? Because sometimes people go too far. Now, it's because of where. her comment originated from that was the conversation there right

yeah and then when you put a song out there like that you know um you have to be able to prepare yourself to hear different feedback you know what I'm gonna say you put out WAP that caused a big conversation about what we should or should not be listening to that was only the people who had

the dot the dry hat well there's a bunch of people who hopped in this conversation talking about different things uh Trick Daddy was one of the people who happened in defense of young miami let's take a listen to the trick daddy shout out to my little home girl young miami got the hottest record the finest little shi in the game right now and everybody jamming this record except a few old centricle's

that's what i don't f*** you old old is too modern outdated the game the past you by you take our time to go on social media the down talk a girl we've been talking negativity in every music before i even started doing music. I'm about you, bitty-age. Leave that little young lady alone. If you see how pretty she is, you don't look like her, so they're giving me hate a little bit. You ain't shaped like her. You're shaped like me. Music ain't for everybody. These young bids are they do not want to be old and miserable like you for the rest of their life. They want to smoke, a hookah, take them a shot of Don, Julio, a patrol. They want to get flued out and get real good. You don't get ignorant, bitch. On behalf of a young

Miami kiss every bitch ass in Miami. If you think we can't go fuck about how you feel, then go spin that shit. Again, the mayor has spoken. You know what I mean? And that's his feedback as well. And you know what? I saw a comment that India Ari posted on Funkin'Neva

who does commentary on YouTube had talked about this topic as well. And India Ari said in the comments over, you know, as they were talking about on social, she said that she's actually appreciating certain takes. I don't think she probably appreciated your dad. Absolutely not.

But certain takes, including the one that Funkiniiva did, because the conversation that a lot of people are having now is about the fact that spin that does represent a group of people from certain places coming up out of certain things, and it's almost like an anthem for them to figure it out and get good how they need to get good. And she says, you know, she clarified again in the RR. She was not asking for the song to be boycott it,

but she is learning that there's a certain group of people for everything, but it is her right. She says she has a right to feel how she feels. And, you know, everybody's going to feel differently about it. Now, Uncle Luke jumped in the conversation as well, too. You know, Uncle Luke, he went through issues about his music coming out of, you know, Miami and it being vulgar. Let's take a listen, Uncle Luke. If everybody lived in the world of Jill Scott and all music was Jew Scott and Indyrie and Afrocentric,

we would be bored as fuck. It's just lyrics. So when this girl, India, Irie, or whoever the hell it is, listen, I have no problem with these Afrocentric type people, but they're always jumping into the conversation of wanting art to be created like their art. Why are you having a conversation about something that's considered as art? Does anybody get all upset when the man is standing up there and people are looking at the sculpture, the art sculpture, or this man would just jump the tools out? Nobody is.

That's what I say about that. But then there's always us. It's always black on black crime. You never hear them talk about each other. You don't hear the white artists talk about another white artist. Where is it? Now, here's it that. I love me some Jill Scott, some Indy, I read.

Like, I listen to the music. And the board, that was a bit crazy for me. But I think, because even Indy Ari has said in some of the comments that I've seen her leave, she's trying to come from a place of love. She just has a difference of opinion. Exactly. And it's okay. Like, everybody ain't got to jump on our head.

You know what I mean? Oh, no. That's what I said. Some people just go too far with things. Like, why can't things be true at the same time? All right, yeah. Like, yo, the message could have been delivered in love a different way. Yeah.

And also, you don't want to send a wrong message to these young people. Like, stealing is not cool. It's illegal. Scaming is not cool. It's illegal. But it's a very real thing. Some people do it to survive. Some people do it because they can.

You know what I mean? But it's just a difference of opinion everywhere. Everybody has got to go too far. And you know what, too. So at Essence Festival, was it the first night? It was either first or second night, y'all. The drinks was drinking. They dropped spin that in their arena.

and no. It went crazy. Everybody. I tried to pull out my phone to record it, but I missed it. But Young Miami caught it. I saw she posted, and also Monica had the song and her set and danced to it as well, too. And I know during all this discourse, Young Miami posted that she appreciated the love from Monica. Even if you've

never been a booster, a scammer, or none of that. Even if you ain't no go, y'all, you still, it's still in your mind. It's like ringing your mind. It's so catchy. It's hard not to sing along. Some of the music we listen to, we just enjoy it and we move on. Like, I posted it on X and people was mad that I said it. I'm like, why can't we just enjoy the song and move on?

Right, and why doesn't have to be... And if it's not for you, don't listen to it. Yeah, that's how I feel as well. I mean, shout out to Young Miami. The last that I saw reported, that song that moved up to number 25 on the Billboard High 100 chart, which is a big deal for her.

Number 10 on a rhythmic airplay and number six on the hot R&B and hip-hop songs Billboard. And, you know, she's a soloist now. So that's a big deal for her. Congratulations. Yeah. Young Miami. Yep, and the discourse is there.

It's needed. Art does that. So, you know, to eat your own. Period. That's all you got for me, Lauren? Yep, right now until we come back to the next latest. All right, that's what's up. All right. Well, up next is donkey of the day. We're going to do the people's donkey today. So call up now at 1,800-585-105-1.

It's the breakfast club. It's time for donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here in this street. I'll have made a donkey today. Called donkey of the day, it really caught me off guard.

I don't know if I should be giving donkey of the day, but over the weekend I had a huge fourth of July party. And I invited family, friends, me and my husband, we had a ball. We watched our kids. to play everything. It was a nice setup from beginning to end after the party was over.

A lot of people left and didn't help clean up. Some did stay behind, but most of them left didn't help clean up. And they weren't in control of their kids. I don't like inviting nobody over who can't control their kids. Why should I be spanking your kids? Why should I be pinching your kid?

Like, there's no way I should. I mean, I wanted to, but if you had control under your, you know, over your kid, then I didn't, I shouldn't, I wouldn't have to do that. You know what I mean? And I'm so tired because we cleaned up 4th of July night all the way into last night And as tired as I am

I still showed up here today Because that's what you got to do You got to work, right? And so I felt like I should give donkey a day To all of those people who just left Now I know I'm the host And that's the job and responsibility

Of hosting an event like that Especially when it's at your house But God damn I could have had a lot more help My ankle hurt I felt like I sound like James this morning I don't sound like Jess I'm horse as hell

I had no time to put on no lashes, no makeup, no nothing. This half wig is pulling my brains out. Like, it's a whole lot going on. Thanks to my family over the weekend. So I want to give the he-ha to a few family and friends. I'm not going to say their names. I'm not. I don't know, but it's going to be a lot of people.

Yeah, it's going to be a lot of people to chat. Going to be wow. But yes, and I want y'all to call up, actually call up to give Donkey to who you think deserved it over the 4th of July weekend.

your family and friends. Call up right now, 1-800-585-1051. It's topic time. Call 800-585-105-1 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's the Breakfast Club. Jocelari is here,

Charlemagne, NVR out. Lauren LaRourles is in, and the topic is, I just gave Donkey to live. like my family and friends who didn't help me clean up and who could not keep control of their kids because I was pinching everybody little kid I shouldn't have to do that. You know what I'm saying?

You know what's crazy though? When I was listening to you, I'm like, I don't think I've ever stayed like really fully behind and help somebody clean up after like a barbecue or family gathered like I might gather trash around me on my way out. I was going to try to help nothing. I will do that. On the way out. Especially as like the younger people in the family yet.

Right. But like to fully be there and like be wiping down. Like after shift. No. Yeah, but see I didn't even require all that. You don't got whacked down table. You don't got to even help put the furniture back up or nothing, but goddamn all that trash. And then like it was trash from people, like from people's kids. They would throw the little huggy juices

on the damn ground. It wasn't real crazy, but it's like clean up after your kids, clean up after yourself, and just help a little bit. I think I'm more mad about them not taking control over their kids. I can't stand it. Was the food good? Did you have food left? Yes, absolutely. We had everything. Fried chicken, ribs. We had bake ribs, grilled ribs,

hot dogs, hamburgers. You know, I made all the whole Shabay. No, actually some people did. I required them to pitch in. Everybody bring something. If I brought you, we got clean up to. Yes, everybody, because this is the house. This is my house, y'all.

Oh, what's up? Call it from T-neck. What you think? Calling from T-neck. There's two reasons. First of all, you got to get a little bit of Donkey, because you know what? If you host an event,

You can't be complaining about the end of the event when you got to clean out that people don't help. I know, yo. That's just my feelings. You know, it's all good. Don't get me wrong. You're my people. But, you know, you know, you can't, you can't be complaining. I know, yo, I think it was more sort of kids, yo.

That's what I think, you know. I think it was more sort of damn kids, yo. Get a hold of your kids. Why you got your kids? Bad-ass kids. You know what I'm saying? Listen, something I'm seriously, you did a show. And I've been trying to not really trying to.

to call it, but I'm glad I got through. You did a show, baby, 10 years ago in T-neck. Okay. I'm not going to say you over at this place called Regina. Okay. And we owe you an apology because it's like

a diner on one side and the on the other side. And we was mad loud on the time. And it was a lot of noise. Yeah. Yeah. We're not on purpose. So I want to apologize for all of us

that was on the other side. No, that's okay. We didn't know who you was at that time. Yeah, not. But we ain't doing it on purpose. No, I was going to say either way, I was over there having fun. I wanted to come over there after that. I was like, damn, they louder to me.

Let's just go over there with them. So I officially apologize for the crew from T-Dak. No problem. We feel you. And we're proud of you and congratulations for all your success. But don't be complaining about cleaning enough. All right. Thank you.

Me and my wife's been married. 35 garras, every single cookout. Same thing. I always cook way more than what I'm anticipating, because I rather have more than not enough. Right. And when it's over, her family takes all the leftovers and disappear. My family's been staring clean every single time.

Damn. Your wife, Black? No, I'm Black. She's white. Oh, damn. Oh, so her family, the white people take the food, leave. I bet you they do. Oh, they jet.

Baby they never had no season like that. Yeah. I would do the same thing if I were those people. We've got no food for a half a week. If my family's sitting there cleaning. And look, thank you so much. Thank you so much, black people.

We're going to take this food back to the white committee. We'll see you next year. Thank you so much, man. We're still taking calls for donkey at a day. Call up right now. 1-800-5-8-1-0-0.

I basically gave my family and friends dunk year today who didn't help me clean up after the event that I hosted at my house. It's about 55, 65, 65 people at my own. 55 or 60. Yeah, like 60 people at my house, man. And look, Rome was ready coming. You know, Rome got five kids.

And Rome always, whoever baby mother, whichever baby mother here around when he bring the other kids, that's the one that they got to get the kids. because we all love the kids. Yeah, he definitely would help him. But he ain't coming. He didn't come. He had another event somewhere, but that would have put the event as 65 people.

Rome and his kids would have came. And then his girlfriend got three kids. No, that would have been about 70 people. Jesus Christ. You should have just had a cleaner. Like, you should have scheduled to cleaning afterward. And he had some hands while you were there. I know.

You should have prepared. People, it's the holiday. People ain't got work. But you know what I'm prepared for? Because I live so far from Baltimore. I live like almost two hours from Baltimore. People will always be like, oh, yeah, you live too far, I'm not coming.

I thought people wasn't going to be like, no, I ain't coming. I ain't coming. Not one person, barone. Not one person, barren. And you'll be looking for cookouts now. Yes. People don't, the cookouts don't be as, you're right. You know?

Yeah, because like you said, it didn't even feel like 4th of July this year. But, yeah, we're taking calls. Good morning. Who's this? Hey, good morning. This is Akoya from Cali. Hey, girl. How are you doing?

First of us, I want to say that I love you and Lauren. You guys are doing. going great on there. Keep up the great work. Thanks, babe. And you're going to motivate me so much. And you make me want to just get into, like, broadcasting and journalism.

Oh, period. Thank you for that. You're doing really great. Keep up the good work both of you guys. Thank you. My first talk the other day is going to be to whoever I called and told them to tell Jess to hide her phone from the screen. Oh.

Oh, damn. You saw something else what happened? What did you see? Yes. Just hide your phone from the screen, girl. We've seen a picture of Chris and everything. He fired his shit. 80. He's fine. 80. Oh, I go. My n-ha.

I'm happy for you, girl. Thank you so much. Thank you. Another donkey today is, yeah, I understand. When you go advanced with your family, they don't never want to help you clean up. I host Thanksgiving all the time. Get their little third plate. Go to the car and check. Yep. Yep. See, Thanksgiving ain't that bad for me. Before July, for July, people get all drunk and after the fireworks show.

They'd be like, all right, we out. Because they got the long drive after. Yeah. Exactly. All drunk and don't want to clean up after the bar. people want to ask where they how links at. Well, thank you, sis. I appreciate it.

Okay, this too. Keep up the great right, y'all. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. Hello, who's this? Yes, Mrs. Jeff, this is Audio Calli. A, Super Sub-Zo.

Okay, what's type? Super Sub-Zo. It's very much giving. Good morning. Yes, thank you. Good morning to you, too. Mm-hmm. No, my take on the topic is,

like me and my wife put on Thanksgiving every year. Mm-hmm. And at least sometimes, our family would leave and didn't clean up. And so I mentioned it. They could stay over and help cleanup.

And they help them. And they take off a lot of pressure. So you have to probably mention it to them. And could stay over and help. Yeah. Yeah. The younger people in your families don't be seeing the older people start to clean up and just hopping?

Like that's not a thing? No. It used to be when I was younger. When we were younger, yeah. But that has won off. Now my son, he will, him and his friends, help. But like, the

another teenage. I still will do it. Like, if I see my aunt start to clean up and stuff, like, I just get up and start to help that. That's just naturally what she would do. The least I could do. I ain't really, you know.

Unless I bought food. They're not psyched. I'm not going to bring food and clean up, Jess. That's too much. That's probably what they're going to say to. Good morning. Who is? There's Courtney from Tulsa, Alabama.

Hey, Courtney from Tulsa. How you feeling? Hey, Jeff. Hey, good morning. Hey, good morning. I understand y'all. So it's only me and my sister And she got three kids

And I got three kids Okay And I've cooked every single holiday Like everything Oh wow She always comes over She'll sleep until the food is done She eats

She packs a go tray And then she leaves She don't clean or nothing Damn And this sis And this sis Yeah The older sis too

But she's been doing this for a couple years now It sounds like right She's been doing this all our lives So you can plan that So Lauren's point She's like you already know When you're the friend that just Bring the drinks of the vibes

Y'all know what I'm coming for You know what I'm coming with No no My mom used to be here And help us You know Help me cook Help stuff and everything

But then my mom passed And it was just me Doing everything And then I'm like Well damn Are you gonna shit for here girl Like it's just me But no

So do you talk to your sister About that? She already know I ain't gonna talk to her See, but no communication goes a long way since If you, like, verbally communicate that to it And she might actually stick around and help clean up Or, you know, she might come over and help you cook

From now on, you know, mention, mention mom to her, man. Remember, mommy used to help me with mom. You ain't here no more. It's just me and you. So you got the help. But now I said, I'm going to stop hosting. Like, I didn't hope. No.

Obviously, you're the one that could cook. Your sister probably can't damn cook. So, no, we need you on the ones and twos on the grill. I don't like the family gathering people that be doing it. Y'all can't just not want to do it. I know. I'm never going to stop. And the drinks are going to do.

We need to go somewhere and get a play. Now, I'm not going to ever stop complaining, but I ain't going to stop doing it either. I'm going to always hope. Yeah, I give the best events. Oh, yeah. Thank you, girl. That was donky other day where we give people the credit for being stupid. It's actually Sholomaine's segment, but I just felt like I felt it in me,

the spirit moved me to give my family and friends don't get a day to day. But next we got the latest with Lauren. What we're talking about coming up, Lo? We got some updates. Chris Brown paying some money to the people in that case. You've been talking about that dog case. Future is talking about falling in love. And, girl, Ice Spice might have been kissing Spider-Man,

We're going to have these meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people, like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us. We just have to find it.

Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your My husband is currently on a vacation with his mistress and I'm confronting them. Tell me, Sophia, how did she even catch them? One Amazon shopping receipt. He accidentally sent her a photo of the kid's Christmas gifts with a delivery to another woman at the bottom. He exposed himself? That's a rookie move. Couples massages, monogrammed bath robes, and lingerie he then moored her for.

So she spent four weeks gathering evidence and taped a 10-page letter inside his luggage before he flew out. In his luggage, she came to play. And the second he landed, he blocked her. So she called the hotel room directly and got the mistress on the phone. Ooh, she got the mistress live on the phone? That is a bold move. Let's see if it pays off. Then it gets worse. He took the mistress on the Bahamas honeymoon trip he had planned with his wife. And then the mistress tagged him on Facebook, outing the fair to her entire family. That's like a whole public confession. And spoiler, two years later, karma hits him so hard. He's calling his ex-wife in tears saying about the mistress. What a mistake that was.

First of all, how do you even keep track of everybody? And second, do you

have favorites? Who are they? And why? Yeah, I need to know about this. Okay. I don't know where the number's 60. I really got to figure that out. And I could actually have over 60. I just need to really know that number. There have been plenty of sheep in my bed. It's a big bed. In the bed. Literally sleeping in the bed.

Our conversation with Millie Bobby Brown is out now. Go check it out. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Good morning. What's up, y'all, it's the Breakfast Club. Jess Salaries, it's here, Charlemagne, Envy, is out. But we got Lauren La Rosa in, and let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fat. Made it! She gets them from somebody that knows. somebody. She gets the detail.

I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have detail, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

So we talked a bit about Chris Brown in the case that he was going through with a former housekeeper who was attacked by a dog on his property. So that case has come to a decision and it was decided that Chris Brown and his company have to pay $13

million dollars. Damn, that's a lot of money. Now listen, he has to pay, Chris Brown and his company have to pay $12.9 million in damages to the housekeeper, a woman named Maria Avela for negligence. Her sister, Patricia, who was working with Maria when the attack happened, was

awarded $885,000 for emotional distress and Maria's husband, Maria's housekeeper, her husband, Oscar, Olivia, who claimed at the time that because of her injuries, it affected their marriage and deprived them of their intimacy. Now, hold on now. How about

everybody eating all for this? He was awarded $50,000. Now, it got lower as it with them. But it's because what they're saying is that this attack, which Maria detailed in a very emotional testimony in court, and we know Chris Brown took the stand as well. She talked about his side of things.

She says that, like, you know, surgeons harvested skin from her abdomen graft onto her mangled arm. It left her in extreme pain and unable to bend at the waist. She talks about the laceration to her face and how it required dozens of stitches. And because of the pandemic at the time,

her family couldn't even come and visit her for about five days in the hospital. So she went through everything alone. And so the family, her sister, her husband, talked about what they experienced kind of going through this with her. And the sister was there working with her. Okay, so her sister was actually there.

Yeah. So, you know, they've been awarded this. So yeah. But I've just never heard of that. Somebody, you and your family eat. Like, you get a check, you get a check.

Now, I'm not saying to her, and her, that the girl who got bitten, like she, she got bit that she shouldn't have been awarded, whatever, however much money, you know what I'm saying?

Because that sound crazy. Didn't that skin graph ain't no joke. When they have to take skin from another part of your body, like, you know, from a burn or whatever, that, that's, that's extensive.

That is a lot. But like, her husband and her sister, I never heard. I never heard of, well, you and your family getting paid because you got bit about a door.

They were obviously able to prove that the damage that they, like the secondhand damage is the actual real thing. Yeah, it wasn't only for her. It didn't only affect her. Yes. All right. Yeah. Now, in other news, still like a, you know, a bit of an update.

Not even a bit of an update. This is a real update here. Big Tigger. So over the 4th of July weekend, there were some updates in the back and forth between him and his wife, Alicia, and that whole investigation into the domestic district that we've been talking a lot about here. Big Tigger actually posted to his Instagram yesterday.

and he says that he's officially going to step away from the mic. He says for as long as I've been in this industry, my focus has always been to keep the spotlight on the culture and the incredible people that I get to interview. But right now, my personal life is in the public eye and has become the subject of overwhelming speculation and misinformation. Through all of this, what hurts the most is being away from my son. Nothing is more important to me than being a great father,

so I've decided to step away from the mic for a while to focus on my family and give my legal team the room they need. As I previously said, I unequivocally deny every allegation, and I am looking forward to clearing my name. Thank you so much for all of the love and the support. So wait, like stepping away, like you retire, like he's like retiring, stepping in like not going to come back? He didn't say retiring, but I think what it is,

I mean, because at one point we were, he had gotten back to the show. Remember he did the apology and stuff like that. I do know he took a couple of days. There were a couple days that he wasn't on air when some more news had developed that we talked about the last time we were here. But I think he's just saying until things are sorted out and we won't be hearing him on the show.

But there's been a lot that happened, you know, since I was at the BET Awards rehearsal for the red carpet. And the video. You saw the video. Yeah, the ring camera video that I told you guys was a thing dropped. And so you saw kind of like, you know, what the tussle was between him and Alicia, who is his wife. He was ordered to stay away from his kids through court documents because she was granted temporary protective order, you know, some time ago. So I think he's just trying to focus right now and stick to what's important, which, I mean, you know, being a father and trying to figure this out. And you haven't spoken to her anymore.

I did not speak to her recently. No, not after all of these things. But yeah. Yeah. But as we keep going, another update from over the weekend, 4th of July weekend. You know Michael Rubin. Yes, I did. That big 4th of July party.

The one I'd be hugging the niggas from the back. But it's not a crime. It's not a crime, y'all. Yeah. So Michael Rubin had his annual 4th of July all white party. Oh, my God. Everybody was there as well, too. I saw Jay Z, Swiss Beats.

And Swiss Beets son was like DJ the party at one point. Oh, that's what's that. Tiana Taylor, there's a video of her going viral, winding it up there, Cardi B performed, like the people popped out as they always do, tons of rappers, entertainers, but there was one conversation that went viral from the party because Ice Spice.

There were photos of Ice Spice and Toby McGuire. Yes, ma'am. That went viral because people thought that they were kissing. So there's a photo that was shot of them. You're looking down from the street at them up on like a balcony or rooftop, and you see them leaning in. Toby McGuire's hand is on her arm.

and it does look like they're leaning in for a kiss. That's what I thought I saw. Now, I reached out to a rep for Ice Vice, and they told me that they weren't kissing, that they were actually sharing a vape. So I said... That's basically kissing. No.

That's what a lot of people would respond to my story with? Yeah. I asked, I'm like, well, were they shotgun in the vape? Right. Because, you know, you lean in for a shotgun, and it's kind of like... And ain't nobody shotgun in no vape, but go in. They said that the kissing...

So Ice Spice's team is denying this. They said that the kissing rumor is not true. That is not what the picture was showing, the picture was deceiving, the actual leaning and the touching of the arm, because I specifically asked about that. They said that was them being caught in the midst of greeting each other before they shared the vape.

But they were saying there's nothing to see here, but, you know. No, stop. Like, no. Yo, I had my hopes so high for her. Because, yo, I love, I love told me McGuire as Spider-Man. And I don't even like Spider-Man. But I love Toby McGuire. That was the first Spider-Man I ever saw my life.

He was always very much fine, always given. So I thought this was like something that, you know what I'm saying? How old is it? Child, he's 51 years old and ice spice is 26. His white ain't ageing like everybody else, why? I know that's right. Toby looked good, 51. Yeah.

Because she's 20, okay. People was pointing out. I'm like, I didn't know he was at agey, though. I didn't, I didn't either. But now when you think about it, it's like I was very, very little watching him. Yep. And Spider-Man. Yeah.

Damn. No, they line. Hit up Toby and him. You didn't hit up Toby. I did not. No, I didn't. I can do that. I can be talking about.

Yes. Hit up until he ended up. Now he ended up. Because he's outside with Ice Spice and the munches. Spider much. Oh, my God. Girl, yes. Well, that is the latest for the hour.
