This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hello, hello, all my people, what's up? It's Questlove. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with the one and only ASAP Rocky. He reflects on his journey from Harlem Roots to a global icon status and discovering the hip-hop origin of his name. The ledge was on the TV.

Raqim had the bucket hat can go join on. Apostle. That's Raqin. That's who you named after. I just was like, damn, that f***. I'll listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Delarocha, a host of sacred lessons, a space for men to pause, reflect, and heal.

This year, we're talking honestly about mental health, relationships, and the patterns we're ready to release.

Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the Valley of Despair is realizing this would happen, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward. Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, for wherever you get your favorite shows. This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, we've got some incredible guests like Kumail Nanjiani. Let's start with your cat.

Oh my God. All the time. I love it. So I try to butcher it up for kids so they're not confused. Yeah, but you're butching it up is basically like Doris Day. Right? No, I turn it to be Arthur.

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, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Joe, yo. Jess is running a little late. Guess what day it is?

Guess what day it is? Hump day! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's right, it's Wednesday, hump day, middle of the week. How y'all feel it out there? Cold, that's how everybody's feeling out there? Yeah, how are you feeling out there? On the East Coast, it is freezing.

I got in the car this morning. It says seven degrees. Like, it is brick, brick, cold, cold outside. So, dress appropriately if you're on the East Coast. We were just talking behind the scenes. They're saying a winter storm is supposed to be hitting the south and the east this weekend. And when did they start naming storms? Like usually they name tornadoes.

They name hurricanes. I never heard of a winter storm. Yeah, I've never heard of a winter storm. What up, Shalomame? You never heard of a winter storm. No, I said, see, you're just walking in the end of the conversation. I said, I've never heard where they start naming these winter storms now. Yeah, when they deserve it, when they're worthy of a name.

They say this one sounds like it's worthy of a name. Yeah, this one wants to be called by his name. You hear me? So they're saying, uh... Don't speak that evil, though. I don't need that. We don't need that this weekend. By this Friday, they're saying the south and the east and northeast are going to be hit pretty hard with a winter storm. They said, expect temperatures to be as cold as Alaska in some places.

Now, salute to Mimi, Mimi's from Alaska, so she knows what that means. I don't, but they're saying it's going to be as cold as going to feel like we're in Alaska, which is crazy. I'll tell you what, cancel my daughter's Chile tournament this weekend. I don't want to go nowhere, okay, please. All right? Don't wait until the last minute to tell us that it's canceled. I go on and cancel that thing now. And I don't know why they do that.

They did that to me the other day. I'm driving in the snow in the blizzard, and they cancel it right there. I call them back, no. That's what I'm saying. Don't cancel it. No, I'm on my way. Tell us now. Tell all the parents, now that we can go ahead and make preparations because, you know,

I have no problem sitting in the house with the fireplace going, drinking some green tea. There you go. In my basketball shorts and a t-shirt on my couch, mind of my business. You hear me? There you go. Well, today joining us on the show. Our Truth will be joining us. You know him from the WWE.

Boy, my brother got so excited when he saw us post that Our Truth was going to be here this morning. Really? I mean, he's a wrestling fan. So, you know, you're a wrestling fan. I've never been a huge wrestling fan like that. I mean, growing up, of course, you watch WWF. You see Ho Kogan. Oh, I'm way before that.

Brady-Machoman Savage. Oh, no, no, no, I'm way before that. See, I'm from South Carolina. So, you know, we grew up watching the NWA, okay? And then it was WCW, so I'm Rick Flair, Lex Lugo. Yeah, Lex Lug. Okay, the Road Warriors. Undertaker.

All right, the four horsemen, all right? Arn Anderson. You don't remember them all them old guys. No, uh-uh. That's when it was just white men running around in the underwear. But y'all didn't have a sports team. So we were heavily in the sports because we had the Mets. We had the Yankees.

We had the Giants, the Jets. So I wasn't really into. I didn't even realize wrestling wasn't a thing everybody was into. What WWF was, though? I got into when the rock. That's when, that's, I just knew. That's much, much, much later. Much, much later.

There was a lot of Samoans before him. All right, I know that. I'm Stone Cold Steve Austin. That's like you said, I got a hip-hop Jay-Z. Like that's a golden era, though? That's a golden era. That's a whole Steve Austin. Justin and the Rock Air.

Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm Sting. Remember Sting? Oh my God, yeah. But I'm talking about Sting when he was with NWA and WCW. That got some different thing.

Jay Floss nukkah. What's holding me with these to walk out with the Roddy Rottie Piper? That's not like a porn star. You know what? It actually does. You know what? The great porn star is.

Let's get the show cracking. All right? We got front page news. Me, Me, will be joining us. Let's start this show with some Jada Kiss. All right? Is it warm? Is it warm?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why not? That's all they got in the system. I want to be by my side, but that's all they got. Is this birthday? We're going to make it something.

I'm stopping it. Why? What we got is knock yourself out of why? And who's real? And who's real? You know what? I like that record. Play that record.

It's all they got. I wanted to hear Jayda this morning. We looked. There was nothing in there. He's real about Swiss Beach. That's tough. That's tough. We can rock with that one.

It's the breakfast club. Good morning, morning, everybody. We are the breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news. Jump right to you. What's up, Mimi. Good morning, y'all. How y'all doing this morning? Good morning.

How's the weather than Cali? It's nice here. It's like... All right, all, never mind. Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, prepare you know. Wait, wait, one thing, too. I just looked in Alaska. It's like 33 in Alaska.

Oh, wow. They're doing better than us. Okay. Yeah. It's 19. Yeah, it's freezing. Sorry, y'all. So I don't know about cold as Alaska, but, you know.

All right, well, we start this morning in Minnesota, where the Justice Department is now issuing grand jury subpoenas to to a top state and, city officials as part of a federal immigration probe. Now, those subpoenas, they are tied to a Trump-era crackdown on immigration. Federal prosecutors, they are now demanding records, emails, and communications to determine whether local leaders try to block or interfere with immigration enforcement. Now, those served include the governor, the attorney general, the mayor of the two cities largest, the two states largest cities. Now, one of them, Minneapolis mayor,

Jacob Frye, he's been ordered to appear in court early next month. Now, he's, he's going to calling this political retaliation and says the federal government is using its power to intimidate local leaders. Now, this comes as law enforcement. They are also raising red flags. In a rare move yesterday, police chiefs from across the Twin Cities, they came together to raise concerns about behavior of ICE agents operating in their communities. Now, officers, they say they've received multiple complaints from residents and even their own officers, saying ICE agents are stopping people of color at traffic stops and on the street demanding proof of citizenship with no cause. Now, with no cause. Now the police chief, he's describing an officer, a black woman who was

involved with one of these stops. Let's listen to what he had to say. When they boxed her in, they demanded her paperwork of which she's a U.S. citizen and clearly would not have any paperwork. When she became concerned about the rhetoric and the way she was being treated, she pulled out her phone in an attempt to record the incident, the phone was knocked out of her hands, prevented her from recording it. The officer had their guns drawn during this interaction. So the officer eventually identified herself as a police officer, and that's when she says the agents left, no citation, no apology, and no explanation. And this isn't the first time that we're hearing that ICE has been accused of racially profiling in Minnesota, the newly elected Asian mayor of St. Paul,

Callie Hur. She says that she raised this concern directly to Congress last weekend. Let's hear what she told lawmakers during a field hearing. I sit before you today, a newly sworn in mayor of a city under siege by the federal government. The tragic effect of this occupation are rippling far and wide throughout our communities. We've received reports of federal law enforcement officers going door to door asking people where the Asian people live right in our very own city. I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may try to target me based on what I look like as well. So it doesn't matter

if you're undocumented or an illegal immigrant or, you know, the undocumented person committing the crime. If you just, it is racially profiling you and snatching you up. Absolutely. Yeah, that's exactly what people are saying. And so that's what's happening. And so she gave testimony in front of two

or more dozen lawmakers who were there to hear how federal immigration crackdowns, how they are hitting local communities, and one by one, officials and residents, they described fear and confusion that people are feeling as ICE agents are there, their presence is heavy within their neighborhoods. Now, ICE, of course, they are denying this. They said that they are targeting only the worst of the worst. But people in those communities, they say that is not true. And then when you have a police officer herself who

spoke at that press conference yesterday saying that she has been targeted by ICE officers, you heard they surrounded her vehicle, demanded to see her papers, which she's an American citizen and she did not have and they clearly left her alone after she said she was an officer. So they're doing that to police officers. They're asking, what are they doing to the everyday American people out there in Minnesota right now? Lord have mercy. Yeah. So, oh, and one more thing, officials say, filing official complaint has been nearly impossible because

agents, you know, they have those face masks on and most don't have a name tag. So they're, you know, there's still some litigation tied up in court with how that may look going forward, but we will continue to follow that. And coming up at 7, we're going to talk about the cost that you don't see on your receipt. So you're probably feeling a lot of extra payments coming up on your bill when you check out at the grocery store. We'll tell you why that's happening and what you can do about it. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105.15. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Call us up right now. Again, 1-800-5-105-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Keep calling. 800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this? What's going on, DJ NB and Salomey and that's hilarious. It's been to California. Be here from Minnesota.

Talk to us. What's going on on the ground in Minnesota? Tell us what's happening. Man, everything from everything. Don't make no sense. Some people like the left and right. Like, they own, that's what's crazy. I wanted to call me on yesterday.

This is my birthday, but, man, I can't. you've seen them snatching up people like like what kind of people are they racially profiling like they're saying they are first happy birthday but yeah yeah they're racist thank you thank you yes and uh racist profiling and um police chief at their business center was talking about it so they were out there for their own self so we and on them and um they don't know some back we public stations up here and they're on ice age out of them too damn that it's like me my government and my uh and a mayor's alone for any job let me ask you a question

I was listening to a woman named Georgie Fort on the Native Land podcast this morning. She's a local journalist in Minnesota. And she said that, you know, a lot of the elected officials like the mayor are doing a lot of grandstanding because they're actually complicit with ICE. What do you think about that? I don't know. I don't think so because the way that's fine. I didn't see over there. No, no, no.

And then you may I think, oh, he can really do so. And you know she's not. You have a house. I don't know they don't like this because of that. We are people up here. That's it. All we are up in here is in 1997 off and all. I'm richly from Chicago.

We don't do that up here. You got that show? He's got up. He's being messy. That makes them fun. Since you came to watch the door, I'll see them to be walking like an army. Are you nervous? No.

Then you should give me something in Chicago, too. What did I got to do with anything? Chicago people can get snatched up to? Everybody's swaying their city can pretend it. real-tale. Okay, child of me, they got a paddy wagon wheelchair, or band for me,

and maybe it'll take me, but guess what? I'm in a wheelchair. I ain't gonna take me. I don't know if them people care. But I, I hope, I'm not wishing that on you, by the way.

I hope not. Well, you better not roll up, stay in the house. Well, I'm like being in a house. It's so cold outside, y'all. Why are you outside? It's so cold.

It's so cold. I'm not at least. It's a cold out. Yeah, about the most of y'all's in the house. And that's what y'all just, I know. Wait, wait, wait. One more thing.

They said they, you're going to fire. In one building, regardless of you, one out of the building, they go with two women and a baby. Damn. I'm going to be honest with you. It is crazy. I love you, but I'm so sick of acting like I can understand you. Okay.

I was like, yo, how can you understand? I know she's going through something, so I was acting like I was listening. I couldn't really understand. I could understand. I could understand. I was like, you get it. I had like every team. And he was responding, and she was responding.

like, No, I can understand enough. All you got to do is pay attention to like the first word and the last word. She said, wheelchair. Then she said birthday.

And then she said Chicago. And that's all. That's all I heard. But I mean, the gist of the conversation was that ICE is in Minnesota snatching all types of people up. And she's in the wheelchair so she ain't about to roll up.

I said, how is he understanding what this lady's saying? I said, I got to get it my ears. I said, I got to get it my ears check now. I said, I can't understand. Hello, who's this? Hello, who's this. Good morning. Good morning.

You know, my job. Yeah. I'm a talk. Hey, man. What's up? You say you only got a couple of Jada Kid's tracks, and this was in New York. I was thinking the same thing, but we are nationally syndicated shows, so I ain't want to bring that up, but he is from New York City.

Yeah, I am from New York. I just say in my laptop, I only got four records. No, no, no, no, no, no. There's only four records. And our music director from New York, her name is Simmer. So the only four records they had in the system was the four that I named. But in my laptop, I got damn in every Jada Kid's record ever. But up here in the system where we play music from, I mean,

you guys have figured out that I don't pick the music But how are we going to make it not in the system? We're going to make it? The only four records was why it was knock yourself out. Not yourself. Who's real? And it was, and that's it.

That's disgusting. I mean, when I say that's disgusting. I mean, when I say that's disgusting. Well, Sima is the music director. She's from New York, too, so I don't know what's going to happen. You'll stop doing how out there. My laptop, I got everything. But there, I just don't.

It's the system. How are you going to blame me? Like, now you don't want to. to be a DJ. I was going to say, you're a DJ. I said in my laptop, I got everything. But this is the station's computer on the music they have. Hello, who's this?

Hey, girl. Good morning, that lot of cool, babe. Yes, we do have the latest with Lauren La Rosa coming up. So, everybody who is taking Jaycoe off that big three, Jada says, put him back on there. He confirmed we got more music coming

than this two tracks. Nobody ever took Jada. I mean, I, nobody ever took home. I did not say that. You say he can't come back outside because he got out of the battle. You don't listen. He can't be number one.

Nobody ever took him out to big three. Maybe that's a conversation we should have today because a lot of people been talking about it. Some people feel the same and I feel the same. He's still nice. He's getting busy. Well, they go back and forth about everything. But you can't. Yeah, but we're going to talk about it because Jada kiss said he's hurting it.

You can't be number one of ducks, no. You can't be number one of duck smoke. It's so weird. Fat Joe said the same thing I said the other day. Like, I don't know why people, you know what? I don't like talking to people who don't know hip-hop. Well, you hear from Jada kiss and J-Cole. We'll get to a next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Yeah. Your talk, L.L.

Cool, babe. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself. Damn. I'm being myself. Take me through that. That's course is most. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Lauren. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that.

Take me through that. Where she's gone? The latest with Lauren Lewis. Take me through that. On a breakfast club. L.L. Cooleck. Talk to me. Just side note, Lauren and I will be in North Carolina this weekend.

Hopefully if we can get out of this nasty-ass-ass-wet-out. Battle of bands. If there's 20 inches of snowposts to hit on the East Coast. Yo, I've been thinking about that, because if we get down there, we're going to be stuck. Damn. I'm going to make it back. Why are you making it back? Take me the jet, whatever money you got going on.

Please take me. I ain't far flying. We're going to be driving back. We all going on that? Now you sound stupid. I'm just joking. I'm just joking. I'm just talking about.

North Carolina. Oh, North Carolina. It's a battle of bands. HBCU battle of bands. All right, y'all. Well, I can't hear myself. But, all right. So we're going to start off with Joe and Jada.

So Joe and Jada sat down in their podcast. and they had a conversation. They were beginning to talk about like music and streams and new music and Jay DeKis brought up the fact and he let us know that confirmed because it was speculated that Jay Cole has more music coming

than just the fall off. And he says he's using some of the locks beats. Let's take a listen. Shout out to Jay Cole. He got project coming out called a fall off and he got a mixtape where he used some of the locks. He rhymed over money power respect.

He rhymed over Cannot Live. Killed them. Cole is coming back in a major way. Do we look at them the same, being that they screwed his head off the big three? You know, he's over his bars? All that shit, don't matter. He's over.

He's coming crazy. They screwed his head off the big three. I don't like that terminology. So give me a pass, but they better screw his shit by going after you here. Let me tell you something. No matter what you call it, you call it all about the music. You're going off the internet. Let me, now I'm not going off the internet.

It's a head horse got to go back on where I'm talking about hip-hop. The bars and the bar. The power of the people in the street made all of that shit. It's all in the music. You talk about knocking them out the park and this and that and this. I got to hear it. He got some shit. You got to remember, Fat Joe speaks in extremes.

Yes. Right? Because nobody ever screwed Jay Cole's head off the Big Three. The reality is there is no Big Three no more. Because when the Big Three was supposed to engage, only two of them decided to engage. Jay Cole engaged and then he backed away. And so it was two. And then after the two, one race.

Supreme and we know who that was Mr. Kendrick-Clevard. Yeah, and like you said, Jay Cole bowed out of that battle, right? You're an MC. You're supposed to be ready for any type of smoke. Now, it doesn't take away his pen. At all. His catalog doesn't take his way. His consistency.

At all. But when it came to that battle, when it came to see who was number one during that time, he bowed out. And that was his personal decision. And when he drops the fall off, to fall off is probably going to be dope. We all know Jay Cole can wrap his ass off. And he can be your personal favorite. But when it comes to being number one,

And that, no. Why are you sitting here acting like people, not acting like Jay Cole is a part of that big three because of him bound out of that battle? That is a thing. That is actually happening. No, he's still part of the big three. He's not number one. I don't think there's no big three, no more period.

As Kendrick said, there's no big three. It's just big me. Now, if you just want to be technical and say who have been the best of the last 15 years, yes, that is still the three. Yeah, that's it. But there's a clear number one. And his name is Kendrick Lamar.

And I still got Drake at two. And then Cole would be three. But also in that conversation, Fat Joe does talk about the ball. I'm about to get to it. Now, let's listen to Fat Joe talking about the big three and this whole conversation we're having right now. Jay Cole, I don't look at him the same. He ain't come outside.

I don't look him to say. The f***ing's war is dull. I don't care what he spit. Because I've been listening to him spitting. I always said he's one of the greatest. And all that is irrelevant to me when you talk and all that gangst and they call you to the yard and you don't stop. outside. I can't look at you.

That's like you seeing the dude who they always told you and you know you always thought he was tough. You see some other kingpin something smack his cheek off in the my bag and walk off. I don't give a f*** you lose. I never forget. Big up, uh, Jay Cole, the whole crew, uh, North Carolina

and all that, but, uh, he caught stage fright. Once again, in fact, Joe speaks in the screen. I understand exactly what he's saying. But you understand what he said. I said, I told you This last week, it's really just that simple. If you say you numeral uno, if you say you Muhammad Ali, but then when it comes time to engage, you engage, you step back a little bit.

And when you did engage, it was like, it was sub-par. I just don't want to hear that no more. That's all. That's why I keep saying, I want to know what the falloff's going to be about. All the biggest emcees and lyric is when it came for smoke, they were ready for smoke,

whether you can go back from Nas to Hove, you can go to any of those rappers that you just named, Jadikis, Fat Joe. They all with the smoke. Yeah. This is the more healed era of rappers. This is the more healed error of rappers. No.

We feel southern. You can go T-I. N3. Jay-C-C-C-G-Z. What's about Kendrick? Jay-Cole. What's good about Kendrick? What did he put the hell on drink?

But Jay Cole said, but he's right in his spirit. But that's cold. Right. Well, Jay Cole also, he sat down for his first interview since, you know, giving us a look into the fall-off. And he sat down with journalist Tim Hotep A-Coo. And we got a little snippet of that. It talks about just the making of the making of, you know, you know, of this two track two.

Let's take a listen. I remember writing songs. I remember those like how people remember like scoring game winning touchdown. That was so much time spent downstairs in my crib in the studio by the kids of their school. Sitting in one spot, like putting a puzzle together, so enjoyable to challenge myself.

When I got to that second line, I didn't even know what it was gonna be until I said, I persevered through the worst. My thirst to with here was a curse. My life, I see it in reverse. My life, I see it in reverse. Okay. And at that moment, I get scared.

I get excited to scare time simultaneously. I get excited because I go, what if you could do this whole rhyme about your life story in reverse? I'm setting rules. You can't cheat. You got to keep persevered through the worst. You got to keep four syllables minimum.

What if? And I get excited because I'm like, oh, that would be so amazing. But then the fear comes to like, almost a voice of like, don't even try it. Like, yo, why? Like, you know that's not possible. And then the other voice is like, yeah, but what if, though? I can leave or I could just take the mission.

Did he credit Nause for inspiration Anytime during that conversation It's only a snippet We haven't heard the full conversation But not in a snippet He didn't get the Nause credit it Have you heard the Nause record? I'm just curious Yes I listened to it

When J. Cole first dropped the disc two track to And I watched a video to just see the reference As well Yeah I will say this conversation They act like J Cole doesn't get busy And he's not nice It's crazy to me Because he's nice

He gets busy They just made it seem like he went from Top 3 to just number 89 Nobody said that who is they You are part of the day because you still get busy. You may seem like, yo, every time Cole is bought up, it's all about how he bowed out of this fight. It's not about the fight.

No, I'm going to say this for the last time, because I don't know why y'all like to miss him. We're not going to listen to. Oh, my God. We're not going to listen. All I simply said was, I want to know what the falloff is going to be about. Because if you spent the last few years, tell him everybody you numeral Uno and you Muhammad Ali

and you want it with everybody, clearly the fall off is not going to be about him competing to be number one no more because when he had the last. opportunity to engage, he took a step back. So what is it going to be about? I'm interested to hear. I'm interested to hear too, and I'm interested to see the full reaction to like the whole project.

I'm excited. It's probably going to have a great reaction. Nobody ever said Jay Cole can't rap. Nobody ever said he can't be dope. All we simply said was you can't be number one. You know, y'all know I saw a camera and posted a letter to Dane. You know how he drops his like bars before they go back into the season or episodes? Got to take a listen.

He's not backing out. and very honest. He talked about trying to save Dane from debt and a bunch of other things. Yeah, premieres later on their show. All right. Well, that is the latest with Laura. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Rustler Archie... You want to know what my evenings actually look like?

We're going to kick about our truth when we come back if you're a big wrestling fan. So don't go anywhere. the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJNV. Just hilarious. Charloméy and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What up, Mimi?

Good morning. Good morning. How are y'all doing this morning? Hey, girl. Peace, Mimi. Good morning. All right, so we start this hour with President Trump, who used Tuesday's White House briefing to mark one year into a second term and to defend his record ahead of his high stakes trip to Europe. Now, the president, he walked into the briefing room, holding a thick binder labeled accomplishments, flipping through the pages as he listed. what he says his administration has delivered so far. At several points, he also held up photos of people arrested during federal immigration operations in Minnesota, describing them as some of the most serious offenders. Now, immigration, it quickly became a central theme. Trump acknowledged that

federal agents, quote, make some mistakes sometimes, comments that come after that fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month. During his nearly two-hour appearance, the president also made clear that he's frustrated with how. how the story is being told, saying too much attention has been paid to the confrontations between immigration agents and civilians and not enough about the allegations of fraud involving members of Minnesota's Somali American community. Let's listen to that frustration he voiced yesterday. No, Minnesota, the crime is incredible.

The financial crimes are incredible. And the problem is because of the agitators and insurrectionists, whatever you were, troublemakers. But they're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota given to a large degree by Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people, they don't do it. Other people work it out and they get them money and they go out and buy Mercedes-Benzes and they never had money,

they never had a life, they never had a government, they never had a country. They come here and they become rich and they don't have a job. I don't expect anything from Donald Trump, expect for him to be, except for him to be Donald Trump. But man, if he would have just showed a little bit of empathy in that moment and just simply said what happened to Renee Good was horrible and we're investigating that ice agent. I mean, something is...

He did call it a tragedy or something like that. He did call it a tragedy, but he did, you know, kind of move on from there and then kind of skip into, you know... But call for an investigation of the ice agent. Say that's not the kind of behavior we want from our ice agents, but the reason he's not going to say that is because that wouldn't be true to him. He wants that type of behavior from them. Yeah, that wouldn't be believable.

That's not what he, to mind what it seems like. He doesn't care about that. He cares more about the ICE agents and getting people deported than anything else. So why would he say that? Now, this briefing, it was also meant to highlight the milestones, as I said, from Trump's first year in office. But it quickly turned into, you know, him defending his record. He did touch on the economy, foreign policy, and NATO. But he argued that Americans, they are not giving him enough credit for his economic progress,

saying that on one point is that the poor messaging may be coming from his own team, but then he walked that back a little bit. And he also claimed that inflation prices are essentially gone, even though data shows that prices are still rising. Let's listen to what he had to say about that. A lot of people are listening to the fake news a little bit, and I'm not blaming anybody. I blame ourselves.

I think we've done a much better job than we're able to promote. We're not promoting. We're doing a great job, and we're sort of letting the promotion take care of itself. One of the reasons I'm doing this news conference, I think it's important. We have taken a mess and made it really good. It's going to get even better. But if you look at prices from a year or a year and a half ago, you look at the Biden prices, they were way up through the sky. They created the affordability problem, and we are solving it.

We have solved a lot of it. Everybody agrees in this room, I think. Gasoline prices have come per gallon way down. many of the groceries have come way down. It's all happening and it's happening strong. When the last time Donald Trump went shopping for groceries? When the last time Donald Trump pumped gas? And the truth is everybody in Donald Trump's orbit is rich.

So he's in a bubble. Like he's in a bubble where he's watching everybody around him getting rich, including himself. You saw that New York Times article that said how Trump has used in presidency to personally make $1.4 billion already. So everybody around him is filthy rich. He thinks that's the whole country. But I will say

The gas prices did go down But grocery prices are still up as mother Yeah Yeah, people are broke Yeah, but people are broke I don't know what the hell you're talking about But people are broke Now they are, but gas prices went down

But grocery prices are still high as I don't know what And climbing envy You know? And as we just heard, you know The president said that prices are coming down We were just talking about that But when it comes to tariffs The numbers are telling a very different story

So if you've noticed those higher prices at the grocery store, what we were just talking about. A new report is confirming what you already basically know or have been feeling. Terrorists are not being paid by other countries, like we've been told they're being paid by us, the American people at the checkout. Now, a major economic analysis, it looked at the trillions of dollars in imported goods, and it found that 96% of those tariff costs, they fall on U.S. companies and consumers, not the foreign exporters. So that means when the government imposes tariffs on things like electronics, tools or household goods, the companies importing those items, usually they don't lower their

prices to make up for it. They keep their prices the same, and it's the American businesses that get hit first. And then those businesses, they raise the prices to make the difference and we're the ones that end up footing the bill. So while tariffs are often pitched as a way to punish other countries in reality, they're working more as like a hidden tax on your everyday purchases from the grocery aisle to the gas station. And just another really quick note, we're now waiting on the Supreme Court. There's a decision that could come down any day now that will decide on whether President

Trump's tariffs were even legal in the first place. That ruling would determine whether those tariffs stay in place or disappear and what that means for prices that Americans are paying going forward. Yeah, I will say this. I do the grocery shopping at the crib because I can't let my wife do it because she'll buy all types of snacks we don't need. But

when I go grocery shopping, I always see the prices of meat paws are up like a mother. Why do you got to pause? Orange because I work with you. Fruit and vegetables. Yeah. Those prices are up like crazy, too. Like, if you ever try to get bananas paws or lettuce paws or mushrooms or any type of

vegetables or fruit, prices are stupid. And you know what's up to? Paper towels. What? Paper towels. All them cleaning products and all this stuff that you stock up, paper towels, what is it, toilet paper, bleach, a liceaw, all of that. All of them household products, they are high.

Fabilosso, everything. I mean, and the funny thing is, and Mimi knows is there's actual data. There's government data that refutes everything Trump is saying. Like, this is the largest monthly jump in food prices since 2022. Yes. So regardless of if you're feeling it firsthand experience, going to the grocery store, or you're just the numbers person. Grocery prices are up, y'all.

They are up. And a lot of people are quoting this study because 96% of those tears, we're paying for 96%. So when the president says, oh, I'm imposing 200% on France for their champains and their wines, like, who's paying for that? The American people seem to be footing the bill for a lot of these terrorists. So when he's punishing other companies or countries, it's coming back to us, really. Don't play with Mimi Wine and Champagne.

Listen, I need it. That 200%. I was like, wait a minute, what's happening? And lastly, shout out to Howard University, where I went to school. They are stepping up and diving a little bit deeper into AI education. So starting spring, 26, Howard is launching three new artificial intelligence courses that will be open to juniors and seniors from any major. The classes will focus on AI tools, ethics, and understanding of how technology is shaping the future. No coding experience

is required. And the university, the leaders say the goal is to make sure students across all disciplines are ready for a workforce where AI is becoming part of just our everyday life. Nice.

But we grew up having to fight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I grew up having to fight? So, yeah, yeah. I've been fighting since I was younger, but trained as well, too. Did that what got you actually want to be a professional resident? Nah, man, what got me into was a guy named Jack Crocker. I met him in the halfway house.

Okay. And I've always wanted to be this big rap star. You know what I'm saying? I wanted to be the next MC Hammer. But in the street. You from the Bay Area? Not from North Carolina, Charlotte. Okay.

So, uh, dead more foe. You know what I'm saying? So, um, bro, this is like a dream. Like, check it out. Meet the guy named Jack Crocker in the Halfwood House. Stelling them cookies on the street, you know what I'm saying? I ain't doing my little thing, husband, for my dancers. I had dance groups.

You know, I'm getting a set of set it from that era. Brank, I got five kids. How many babies? I mean, babies, yeah. But, yeah. So, I met Jack Crockett in a halfway house, you know what I'm saying? And this was like, I know how it feels to be somewhere. Like, I was 25, dog, and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life.

They didn't want to play football anymore. Too many injuries, but I wanted to live his rap dream. Met Jack Crockett, bro. For somebody to believe in me in a halfway house, he said, when you get out, I'm going to get your job. I thought the . You can go. You good.

You good. Oh, you can come from this bo'clock. Oh, shit. So I thought he wanted me to cut his grass or something, right? Yeah. But that was the first. time I was introduced to professional wrestling took me to three WCW shows in Atlanta

and bro I was sitting there he was a cameraman at this time he said I never gave back before God told me to give back to you so I'm like okay cool so I'm sitting there watching Rick Flew music hit first time at a wrestling show you know what I'm going to man Rick Flew came down Jack Crocker said see that could be you how you was rapping and dancing and telling jokes in jail

and you could be doing that he said and you could do the fighting the splits you was doing he said you'll be able to have an audience you'd be able to invest in your own stuff and we'll have to ask somebody else for nothing. Yeah. It wasn't too many black wrestlers back then too, especially it was like a junkyard dog.

J-Y-D, dog. That was WWF for WCW. Ron Simmons. Ron Simmons. Book of T, Stephen Wright. Book of T. Oh, Harlem Heat? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Ernest Miller? When he told you that, did you believe that at the time? No. No? I didn't, yes. I was up. And see, again, this is life. We just grow and mature as well.

go man like you never stop fucking you never stop fucking cuss on this bitch you never stop learning right yeah and I turned him down for two years wow and I actually went back out in the streets again I said you know what I remember I told my mom one time I'm gonna sell drugs till they stop making it she's like yeah blah go to tell them to your mother you got to they stop making them Jesus that was jabbed I never wanted to stop selling that's who I need it was never gonna stop making drugs she said you'll stop that's all she said you'll stop But I grew up with my uncle, doing with my family. Like, I thought it was the thing to do to get where you wanted to be at.

You know how it is, though. So it's like, I remember going back and forth to jail back to the way. I was like, you know, I ain't wanting them. You know what I'm saying? They ain't got to stop negative, but I ain't going to partake no more. So I went to like, you know what I'm saying? Stick them up. And it was like, and it was like, and it was like.

And it was like, it was like. And it was like, He said, I'm going to crime it out. I'm going to, I was, I was lost. I was, I was stuck. In a not knowing what you want to do with your life, the rest of your life, you don't, gave up scholarship to Georgia Tech, Clemson, Syracuse for football, you done, what are you going to do? What are you going to do,

man? So it was like, I wish I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, man. You show you not the rap of a baby from another multiverse? Nah. That's the baby from another universe. But, yes, I turned them down for two years. And it was that last time I went to jail, and that's when I met Crockett. And it was like, how the Bible would say, a faith of a mustard seed or the ram in the bush and all those little things made sense to me.

man because it was like I was sick and tired to being sick and tired. Yeah. And I was like, damn, I do something different, man. I do something. Crocket. Crocket told me he'd give me a job. It wasn't cutting grass. So I called Crockett up.

He came and picked me up, took me back to the same restaurant again. He said, this won't cost you up a time of dedication. I'm going to pay for everything. Wow. So sometimes the universe got to give us these tools, resources, but we just got to apply them. Right. Man, it's crazy how, like, he took me to one school and people was like, you know how name association helps you out in life.

Oh, Croquet, Brian. you in here oh dog let me show you this oh here about you let me show you this let me show you that like I have so many people showing me from headlock take over to arm drags to wrist you know so top blops like so it's like I just graduated manny Fernandez a raging bull he finished training me he's gonna teach you how to take care yourself in the ring and outside the ring psychologically wrestling being involved so much stuff just like I'm sure with your job it involves a lot yeah mentally people don't even know about it right so um mani Fernandez got trained ended up in NWA wild side uh Cornucon

in Georgia. Bill Barron's, Rick Michael said, hey, man, you belong on TV, dog. Let me, you know, make a tape for you. You mean, his dad was the camera guys there. Think about now. I'm doing this.

I ain't in the streets no more. I'm making $5, $7. Sometimes we got paid a hot dog. Dang. That was like on the independence. I did independence for four years. And before NWA, WCW. Before I got on TV, Sean.

Before any of that, I did independent. And that would just, you taste the blood. If you want to do this, you're going to do it. like going inside and nobody there. You know what I'm saying? Like five, six people. You know what I'm saying? You had to build today.

But I was doing something different. I went a different route to get where I wanted to get to. You were staying out the street too. That's what I was a point thing. Man. The mom was proud of me, man. My family was proud. You know what I was proud.

And it just started like blossoming and growing and growing and growing, man, to where Rick Michael dad said, I'm going to make a tape for you. Made a tape for me. This is years ago now. You know what I'm 53. I turned 54 yesterday. So, I've been ready for a birthday, man.

I went for y'all to say that, but y'all didn't say. So, Rick Michael's dad said, I'm going to make you a tape just send it in. Made me a tape. Sent it in. I got a call, and I was flying up to Stanford, to WWF back then. Just off for that within two weeks. Wow. You know what I'm saying?

And it just started transpired. I became the first black NWA champion. And that title was around for 53 years. I used to love that belt, man. Did you dog? Yeah, because, I mean, it just was the big gold journey. It was always synonymous with Rick Flair to me. It never even looked right on nobody else.

Yeah. The nature boy. One other person that it looked right on was Goldberg, but it was WCW by then. Yes, yes. So, man, I never, again, you never stopped learning. I didn't realize how prestigious that title was. To be the first black NWA champion,

like how younger blacks look at me or like, oh, I can do that. Now I can, you know what I am. So just living, live, living into where now I've excelled into, like, I think I'm more popular than I've ever been in my career. Right now? Right now. Right now. And in the wrestling, it's kind of hard. That's what we call a pop. When you come out, when I'm like hitting it, I still get one of the biggest pop. And it feels so,

everything I get reciprocated to me, like a lot of fans tell me, bro, you make me feel. I remember watching you when, I'm talking I got signed in 98. So that's how long I've been wrestling. I've been allowed to continue to do this. still be reinventing myself each and every time with the Unreal the Netflix deal

it allowed me to reinvent myself again so life will give you these opportunities these moments but we just got to grab them what would you say to people who think the Unreal series

is revealing too much that happened to behind the scene you think so you think so yes man it's about the same as you know what you know the rag is in the head don't you

yeah yeah people know wrestling not real we just enjoy it for the entertainment But a lot of people do think wrestling is real. That's the big audience. They need Jesus, Envy. Damn. There's a lot of real aspects of wrestling that's around it and weaved into it.

A lot of things from the unreal, you can see, is real. Yeah. A lot of things ain't real. Wrestling is still that, we still give you that illusion. We still, a lot of people believe in these characters. Yes. I just like the scripted entertainment that I enjoy. You enjoy it.

I got a character. Our truth. I got a Ron Killings Carrey. I got a K-Quil character. I got a Ron Sina character. John Cena's my older brother. You know what I'm saying? You know damn well, Jess.

Of course, I got you. But check it out, though. So it's like, I think a lot of people get attached to the character and see themselves living that life. Same as a movie, right? Yeah. So the people that do say that it reveals too much, what positive has come out of revealing those things that people normally don't reveal?

There's all the positives come out of that you get to get a deep inside look at what's, how the machine works. you know what I'm saying? A lot of us get to see the afterlife of what is created and the glorification of the net we don't get to see the sweat, blood and tears

and the drama, the dynamic the diabolical shit that goes on. You never get to see all of that. Or how difficult it is. And you still have to execute and go do that. I don't care how you feel or how you look at it. You still got to participate if you're going to be in this game.

Because you can write a plan up and you can write something up but it doesn't necessarily all have to follow by plan because y'all jumping from the air y'all throwing people left and right i mean it's that's why they that why they create that word called audibles right we have to man like i'm sure y'all y'all get slid something on the spot you got to be able to like boom a lot of times we get told hey y'all got an extra four minutes y'all got an extra five minutes and we ain't got that designed in that match like oh so you got to like be able to like um improv improv yeah right on the spot have other people um on the inside reach out to you like yo we happy that you kind of like pulling the veil back a

of it? A lot of people. A lot of people like, oh, hit me up like, oh, I didn't know what's like that. Oh, I didn't know, you know what I'm saying? So it's, I think it's... I mean, like, actual, like, fighters. Fighters? Yeah, like, people on the inside that would typically want you to kind of keep some of that stuff to the chest because, you know, what you don't know is how you make your business.

Like, have they been like, okay, we're glad that you're kind of putting some of this out there for people to see. I kind of ain't even like, I don't know. They have, they haven't, like, said it like you said it. Okay. I mean, I kind of like, I kind of like, you know what I'm saying? like I have no problem with transparency. That's why I just told y'all used to be in the street.

That why I told y'all this name. So it's like, it's what we do with that transparency. It's how I, you know all about me. Now watch how I move, watch my motion. Watch how I make this shit pop, make it happen, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, I think it's an appreciation and a respect in seeing that, knowing that

and watching it execute. How do you need comedic timing too? Like, did that come natural or was it learned over time? Natural. Okay. Natural dog. I can tell you just, yeah. Yeah.

Being dark skin. You know what I'm saying? Being in the superpower now, okay? It's a superpower if you let it be. We all got superpowers. So when they came at you with the jokes, you had to freaking... I was ready for that ass. That's right.

Yes, sir. I was ready for that ass. You know what I dropped them in there. That's how you was when you was younger too. Yeah. Round the way. Yeah. Like, yeah.

Be like, boy, you came to school naked. What? No, I didn't do that show. Because you dressed it all black. No. Oh. You said, I ain't do that. He's a pause.

You're dressed in all black. No, no, no, dog. No, like they were saying, like, you can stand on your head and your hair still don't touch the ground. You can stand on your head and your hair still don't touch the ground. That's how bones you are. You don't know what I mean?

You got to know what I'm saying? Keep going, keep going. One more. She likes those on him. So I wanted to know, you know, you have a recognizable on face now, right? you're in wrestling. Has anybody that you stuck up ever came back to you like bro you know in 2000 that was me that you stuck up. Now you robbing everybody in the dog, no, why son?

See, the dog is shit. Salaman the dog getting shit. That was a good one. But when I said it, he was like, ah, no, you ain't had to fight because of that. You know what I'm saying? The almost light skin, brother. You know what I'm saying? Y'all always gave it to us, dog. But no, man. God bless, never had that. And I used to keep a cup my face up too. He said I covered my face. I was smart. Yeah, I wasn't dumb.

Yeah, I was completely dumb. I was dumb for not taking advantage of the opportunities I had to do and exploit my talent in the right way. What's the worst thing that ever happened to you in the ring? That wasn't planned that she was like, shit. The worst thing that ever happened to me. Got all these kicked out. No. Damn.

Yeah. It's real. Yeah, that kicked out. Who was it? Cesaro. Who was it? Yeah, y'all talking about this shi-real. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, no, people get really hurt, they definitely. Yeah, yeah. So what happened in that instance? And what's the conversation after? Like, you kicked my mouth out. No, that's my dog, man. It was cool, man. Wow.

It's shit happens, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's not always gonna go the way you wanted to go. You know what I'm saying? Like, all the other both things happen, you know what I'm saying? Like, can you continue, I can keep going, keep going, keep going.

I kind of like, I think when he kicked him, I didn't have all, it was two goals on the side, so I just pushed him back down. Damn. But you got to think your adrenaline going. We were in the midst of, you know what I'm saying, like the hype of stuff.

Like, when you were walking out, you were like, you were like, you get that pop by my face. I got that shit, you know what I thought? So during you asked you, yo, can you keep going? You're like, yeah? Yeah, you're good. Yeah, I'm good. I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry.

I don't worry, let's keep going. So I won't forget what we got, you know what I'm saying? Wow. How much longer did you have to keep going after that? I think we had maybe like four minutes left. Was it on TV? Was this televised? Wow.

Jesus. Wow. I'm, I just probably don't question, but they paid for that, right? They pay for, you know what they? Yes, yes. Oh, they take care of us good. Okay. Yeah, they take care of us good.

All right, good. Because this is still a dangerous game you play with your life. Like, you know what I mean? I don't have been injured, but knocking wood. I've lived and had a great career, man, like, you know, neck injuries, both shoulders, ribs, chest term, hip, pettlet tendon, quad. And what is the rehabilitation? I mean, the recovery like?

Like, what is the recovery like? What do you do? to like... Get your ass off that couch, Jeff. Get your ass in rehabilitation. Rehab works. Rehab works. Yeah, and just, I never stopped working out since high school.

Because you don't even walk like you saw. You don't walk like any of this happened. You walked in. You walked in the head. Like, you was ready to fight them to. I still stretch. I can still do a jump-up split right there. Like, I don't mess around with my body, health, my mobility, being able to move that while.

Like, you know what I'm saying? 55. I can still do back flips all that. You know what I'm saying? So it's, yeah, you got to stay tight with it. There's only one person I ever thought could die in the ring And that was goddamn cactus jack. Mick, Mick Foley.

That's my dog. That's my dog. I love Mick, man. He did, right? Man, he did. But that was a dedication to the business, man. That was his lane. You know what I'm saying?

You got your lane running. Me, I got my lane. And it's, there's never be another art true. There's never be another wrong killings. You know what I'm saying? There's never been another Shalerman in God. There'll be another DJ Ever, there'll be another jazz. We got our lanes and we got damn,

we're driving that bitch, right? Yeah. How have you been able to balance the life of a WWE superstar, you know, as it pertains to, you know, with being a husband and a father, too? How's that balance with that? You have to do it. You have to balance it. You have to have willing participants, loving participants with my music career. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like trying to balance all of it is just doing what needs to be done. When I go home, I put their hat on. I'm a dad. I'm a husband. I'm a father. I still love, my daughter's 11, she still sleep with my wife in the bed. I love that.

Love it too. So it's like, I love taking my daughters to the bus stop and waiting at the bus stop with them. Best feeling ever. Bro man, come on, going to their schools, man, and like eating lunch with them and I like that shit. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I think we make time,

we don't have so much time in the day, but we make time for what we got time for. Yeah. Or what we want to put time in, you know what I'm saying? So you had to balance it, Jess. That's amazing. When you got released a couple of years ago, what was your, what was your,

immediate reaction, emotionally and mental. Oh, man. Where I was when I told you, I was that 25-year-old kid not knowing what he wanted to do in life. Wow. Not knowing what move to make. Not knowing which steps.

Is there a wrong step? Is there a right step like this? I was just in a tunnel. That's mentally and emotionally. Because when I found out, I had just dropped my daughter off at dance and my son was behind me. I was in the garage smoking, you know what I mean, sweeping. Yes. Yeah, so it was like, damn, I don't know how,

if anybody would it feels like to get fire or get like, you know what I'm saying? Five four times from radio. What I said, wasn't fire, what? So you know how it feels to get that call, right? Yeah. They called you too, right? No. Damn.

Wait, how do you find out? He just came in there. We got to interview you. After your last show, they'll call you in office and be like, hey, moving in another direction. Okay, that's how it was in my last shop. Okay. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. You didn't get to say goodbye? No. Hell, no. Okay. That's crazy. So, what AAA said you didn't really get fired in. I was with the X at.

Okay. Let me ask you this then. I got the call, right? If I got my, my agent working on this end with their agent, I'm just, I put the out of that, right? Let them hang that time. I get a call from this side saying we're not going to renew your contract or however it was, you're not going to do.

So do I come. to work. It's Sunday. Next Sunday with my contract with the end, right? So do I come to work? No. Don't come to work. Oh, okay. Am I done now? Yes. There was no flight,

no calendar. What do you call that? Sounds like a fire, but... I mean, but it's all... I don't know if it's all the same, if it's different. If it ain't, I mean, I guess I'm unintentionally creative. That would have felt like. Because he said that you were technically still, you were never not under contract with them.

He also said that. And he said, he never intended to fire you or push you out. The hope was that by allowing the deal to expire without a media renewal, it would prompt you to reopen dialogue. That's why I said in the top, my age and then day people was talking. And I was staying out of that. But I got called from this person that said, boom. So I wasn't, I wasn't even in the dialogue situation with the dialogue conversation.

You know what I'm saying? This is my first time even having. an agent handle my business. You know what I've always, for me telling you from Georgia to NDA Wild Side of this. I've always done my own business. This is my first time having to where I stayed out of dialogue. So that's where I took it. It felt like a firing to me. And that's when I paused, took that moment. Couldn't really, I couldn't figure out how I felt. Did it feel sudden to you or was it something you since might have? No, it was sudden. We was in negotiation. So I thought. So I was told it was a negotiation.

So it was like never for once that I feel bitter, jaded, or anger. I was just at loss for feelings, at loss for words, at loss for emotion. Wow. And I felt like out of the generations that I've, there's people that like four or five years old to know who I am. Yeah. There's people that's 90 to know who I am. So I've been wrestling for decades.

You know what I'm saying? Like, damn, I owe them a thank you. Wow. I was on a ride when it was WWF to WWE. Like, I've been doing things with WWB for years since the 98th. I've been doing things with them. Overseas, in the country, everything. I owe them a thanks for the ride.

Do you feel like along the way, like somehow the conversation or the dialogue that you were out of was like misconstrued? Like, do you feel like maybe an agent that got it wrong or maybe it was something that wasn't told to you? They said it was about money. The child couldn't come close in numbers. That's the Triple H said. I don't know what it was all about. I'm just saying. And that's a good thing about Unreal.

You know what I'm saying? Like, nobody really knows what's what. The only thing we're doing is just, he said this, he said that, he said it like, like, again, I was letting this handle this. I was letting that cook over there on the stove. And this right here started boiling and spilled out.

You know what I'm saying? And I got burnt. So it was just like, my main thing, my first thing to do was to show gratitude an appreciation to the longevity I've had. Like I told you, 54 and I still... You want to know what my evenings actually look like? Homework questions.

Someone needs a permission slip signed. The dog's begging for a walk. Someone's yelling for a snack. And somewhere in the middle of all that, I'm supposed to figure out dinner? That's why HelloFresh has been a lifesaver. Fresh ingredients show up at my door, locally sourced when possible,

I'm just cooking a delicious meal my family will actually eat, and it takes around 30 minutes. And honestly, the real value is knowing that even on the messiest nights, dinner's handled.

So this is a great beginning and hopefully you'll be able to, I don't know, maybe you will cry. Amanda Seifred. Life is so short. If you feel something like that, you have that fire in you for this experience.

It's not for a guy. It's for the experience of being in love and like it's bigger than a guy. Elizabeth Olson. I love swimming naked so much. And I know you love taking pictures of yourself. I love to be naked. I just want to be in my brown underwear all the time. Ross Matthews.

You know what kids always say to me? Are you a boy or girl? Oh my God. All the time. That's so funny. I love it. So I'm always like, hi. I try to butcher it up for kids, you know, so they're not confused. Yeah, but you're butching it up is basically like Doris Day.

Right? No, I turn into Be Arthur. Listen to these episodes of Dear Chelsea on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm got to move like I'm goddamn. 20. I make a fact to do that. They say don't be bitter that it's over.

Be happy that it happened. It's a blessing. Like I just told you, because of that man, so many things have evolved out of that. Over a hundred million people on all social media. On social media,

like, responded to that. So now the testament to not only who I am, what I've done, what I've dedicated my life to, with the fans have invested themselves in me, the generational of families that I have inspired, that I have put my life on the line for,

that I have missed anniversaries, birthday parties, graduations, they spoke. And that was the power in power to me. That was the power of people to me. And that's why I'm here now. Your support. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

And that's what allowed, man, that's, I still, that's the best thing that ever had. happen because again I'm more popular than I've ever been in my career and I've been doing this for like 27 years now so when you look back on it now how do you view that release you look at it as an ending a reset or just something else total it's ending to a new beginning that ass on my chest lit up like sometimes we forget who we are that's the word you know what I'm saying and we get reminded oh you know what that said did it change how you define your identity beyond being our

truth in the WWE. Bingo. And it's being able to leave something back, leave something with the WWB. This is my last contract. But it's just like, you know, how you're on that flight? Yeah.

And I get ready for dissent, but the top that wheel hasn't come down yet. This is mine. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, man, it's the ending to a new beginning. You know what I'm saying? Like, now I get to get y'all this real shit.

You know what I'm saying? In the sense, but we're going to have fun while you get it. Yeah. I love it. Do you feel like your contributions the WWE have been fully realized or you still feel there's more of your story

to tell? Still more to tell. A lot of shit is known yet. A lot of stuff got to be told. A lot of stuff got to be shown. I think in this with all due respect. You feel me? It's just with all due respect.

Can you tell us anything about the Royal Rumble coming up on January 13th? Ain't Saudi Arabia? Yeah. Yeah, y'all have been to Saudi, right? No, I haven't. No. They keep talking to me about going.

You got to go to the United States. They said they're spending crazy money. For real, I was in Dubai a few years ago, and this lady was dead. I guess she represented the sports entertainment over there. She was like, Shawlman, we want to get you to Saudi Arabia. And Anthony Anderson had just came back, and he was dead. They were saying this, hall of money.

Damn, what's what's up? You're gonna get some back. You're laughing. Your numbers were good over there, huh? Right, right. Money good. Tushé. Yeah, yeah, man.

It's good, man. Not only that, man, again, I've been with WTPs since, what, 98. I've been going to Saudi since then, so it's like... Afghanistan, Turkey, Kuwait. Saudi was one of the first place, man, like, to go to Saudi and have them singing my ring music, cheer in me. That's crazy. Yeah. There are Saudi people that last time I've been to Saudi that buy my music and play my music when they come to the signing.

That's like, so a whole different country, like... And it's our first Royal Rumble we will have there. Wow. First time never happened to there. And the Saudi crowd, man, it's like, they out. Lit. They be lit, though. They be lit.

And it's fun, man. That's what I'm. Well, we appreciate you for joining us. Definitely check out. Our truth. Netflix, Unreal Season 2. You can check it out. You can see behind the scenes.

You could see, they said there was one scene where, I guess, one of the wrestlers hit somebody that was in the crowd. And they were yelling, hey, he's the crowd. They was like, no, he's part of it, too. Thank you so much. It's our truth. Go get that white album, man. Get that white album, man. Get that white out.

Appreciate it, Shalomai. It's our truth. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody is DJ, NV. Just hilarious. Shalamey and the guy, we are the breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Let's talk, L.L. Kubey. Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself. Damn. I'm being myself. Yeah. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Lauren. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

Take me through that. Take me through that. The latest with Lauren knows. Let me through that. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coolback. Talk to me. I have a little tea, too.

What? Jess Eliza's having stomach issues and she's on the toilet doing the number two. Blowing it up. Blowing it up. Going crazy. Why would you say? How do you know she want all these listeners?

I just want to buy that. I see women running out of that bathroom. It's actually not tea. That's espresso. Okay. All right, y'all. So offset Cardi B, the divorce. It may actually be moving forward a little bit

because according to new filings, reports. Offset has finally cleared a massive financial hurdle. So there have been reports in some documents that it surfaced of a $1.5 million tax debt. And we remember because we reported it here at the Breakfast Club and Cardi B talked to us about kind of some of their issues that they were having that. One of the things that she says is stopping them from actually getting to the divorce point is the fact that she's being asked to pay for this alleged tax debt. But now it's cleared up. Let's take a listen to Cardi from back in September on X-Bases when she was venting about not wanting to pay for these taxes.

Seven years that I didn't have to last with somebody with. That's the seven years in a marriage. Stop saying, oh, but you're still married. No, I'm legally separated. Only reason why I'm, the only reason why I'm still married is because somebody wants me to pay for the taxes. Only, y'all, y'all want another tea? The only way I could get out of my marriage if I pay for somebody else's taxes, even though

I pay for my own and give them one of my properties. I'm not, I'm fighting for that. I'm a fight for that. This is not no love shi. And like, I'm not going to stop living my life because on, on a, on a contract, I'm practically still married because somebody want to help me hostage if I don't give the millions of dollars to get out of it. So that's what I'm going through in life. Yeah. So maybe now they can move forward. I mean, he's not totally in the clear. According to

these docs, there's still a little over $700,000 that needs to be paid. But it's way less than $1.5 million. Hey, I'm just happy to see a brother, you know, knocking down some of his debt. All right. Salute the offset. Because so many of us know how good it feels when you get that financial monkey off your back. Lord. How much. Oh, my goodness. Your letters come crazy. And not only that, you can go to jail for it. So I'm glad he was able to pay that off.

And you rarely hear those stories. You always hear about a person own a bunch of money in taxes. You never hear about a person actually paying them. So salute the offset. Well, let's assume because if not they'd be in jail. You got it.

That's one person you don't play with. At all. At all. Don't play with Earths at all. Come on, Earth. Good morning. Well, in other relationship drama, so David Beckham and Victoria Beckham,

they're being dragged by their son, Brooklyn, Beckham. Okay. So Brooklyn Beckham got online and he decided to break his silence on their family drama. So for the last like, I would say like a year or so, there's been issues within the family, but we couldn't really figure out what it was. So we would see little things online like his family thinks that the new wife is controlling him or his family's new wife didn't wear Victoria Beckham's dress to her wedding or whatever the case may be. But he erred it out. So he claimed a bunch of things, including him saying that he felt like Victoria Beckham, who is his mom, danced with him very inappropriately at his wife. wedding. She took over the first dance of the wedding to the point where he was so uncomfortable. They went and renewed their vows to just like have a better memory of the moment and none of the family showed up. They didn't pop out to David Beckham's birthday party.

And he says that they're basically trying to like make him get rid of his rights so that he isn't entitled to any of the family's money. So this has been like an ongoing thing. David Beckham didn't directly respond. He had sat down to did an interview where he talked about like social media and kids. But it wasn't a direct response to this actual situation. But now the people got some inside T because this family always appears to seem like picture perfect. Yeah, I don't really care. Yeah, why are you telling us about those white people probably?

Because the people, I think. David Beckham is almost a billionaire. He'll, Brooklyn, you'll be fine. Not if they write him out of the money. He didn't dance with me at the wedding. Not if they, no. It sounds like he's out the well. He's not out of the will.

They're trying to get him out of some of the money, whatever this big payout is supposed to be. Tell me again, why I should care about these white people's problems? Because, I don't know, you don't have to care. Because I'm not going to convince you. If you don't know why you should, I'm not going to convince you. They're not a family I dive into.

It's not a family that I look and follow. This is the thing with them. Forget me. Me? Why do I care? Yeah, why do you care? So this is why you care because Victoria Beckham, supermodel, former Spice Girl, David Beckham.

Not only are they physically like the perfect couple, but their family, they look, because they look so good. Why? Because they physically, I know you don't understand looking good. No, because they're just gorgeous people. There's just like a thing. But their family has always presented as like picture perfect. And anytime something like this is shattered,

people just care. It's the same thing like with Megan Markle and Prince Harry. People feel like it's that whole invasion of the family. I didn't care for that me either. You didn't care about Megan Markle and Prater. This is when I'm reminded that she used to work at Timsy. This is when you're reminded that I'm like 20 years younger than you, I guess. I didn't care.

He's 50 years old. He's one of them good looking 50 years. The people care. Yes, the people care. Okay. The white people care. Say it with me on. The white people care.

Listen, I'm y'all going to see in the comments how many people actually care about this. All right. Now, as we wrap, I do want to mention yesterday, A.S.S. Rocky posted that his, you're going to care about this one? A.Sat Rocky posted that his Don't Be Dumb Tour, the Don't Be Dumb World Tour is going to happen. Date started to, you don't care? Speaking of white people, slew to A.Sap Rocky. A.

A.T.F. was supposed to come up here yesterday. Twice. Well, yeah, he was supposed to come up here last week, but then he rescheduled, and then he was supposed to come up here yesterday. He was going to be at 930, but then they said he wasn't going to be hit till. 12. 12. Right. Y'all get out of here like, 9-on-5.

You can't wait around until 12? No way. I'm like, I know A-Sap ain't late for the white shows like that. I know he wasn't late for Fowling or S&L like that. He can't be. He can't be with those shows. I don't think he was really scheduled to be here. I think that was like a mix-up.

Was AI? Yeah, I don't think any of his people like. Because A-Sap, he don't really move like that. So I don't think he was two hours late. I don't think that was his team, y'all-old. I don't think that was his team, y'all. I really don't think that was his team. No, I just don't think that was a business.

This is a profession. Yeah, A'sap has been a very professional person. Since we've known Asap, he's been a very professional person. I really don't think he was really scheduled to be here. I would hope not. And they'd call us and be like, I'll be there at 12. And this is a morning show. That doesn't make sense.

Once again, I know you wouldn't be late for those white shows. But I just don't think he was really scheduled to be here. That's what I think. Well, the tour tickets going sell January 27 if he'll be there. And I think I saw yesterday. He was supposed to sell like $200,000. I was going to say that. Yeah, he did, over $200,000.

He did $130,000. He did 130K the first week because of the vinals that they were pre-selling. He's on track to do very well with this project so maybe you know he needed a break. Okay, all right. Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Sholomey, who you give that donkey too? Don't walk in here like everything normal.

Don't even just, don't even just walk back in here like it's normal. Don't even. What did you eat? No, something I'm never eating again. Like, yo, it's that deli that the five man. No. used to Mexican food yet.

No, shut up. There were women running out the bathroom. You're lying because there was nobody even in there when I went in there. I made sure of that. It was bad. You had to make sure nobody was in there. Yeah. Sometimes when I walk in here and I'd be like, yo, be careful in the bathroom.

Somebody in there blowing it up. I heard two women say that to each other. I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you. Are you okay now? Yeah, yo. Wipes. Lower stomach crazy.

I got wipes. Thank you. But no, man, that's wild. That's wild. It was a fruit. It was a fruit. No, it wasn't even a fruit. It was just a sandwich.

Stop letting your in-laws cook during the winter. Shut up. Shut up. Who are you giving your donkey to me? We need them all with him to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him this morning. Oh, damn. All right, we'll get to that next.

It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Salomey. Don't get under a shame. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. The donkey of the day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey a day.

I feel I need to be a donkey man. Hit it with a heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, Ed Shearing, donkey today for Wednesday, January 21st goes the former NBA player Lamar Odom. Now, if you haven't heard, Lamar Odom was arrested for DUI in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Clark County records show that Lamar Odom, 46 years old, faces charges of DUI first offense, driving at more than 41 miles per hour over the posted limit, and improper lane change in failure to maintain driving lane. All three charges are listed as misdemeanors.

Let's go to CBS 8 for the report, please. Former NBA player Lamar Odom allegedly drove more than 100 miles per hour right past a Nevada trooper early Saturday morning on the 15. Now, according to documents obtained by 8 News Now, a black SUV approached the trooper going really fast. The trooper says he pulled the car over after clocking it at over 100. Odom was placed under arrest after failing a field sobriety test. Now, he does face multiple charges, including DUI. Odom is scheduled to appear in court in March 17th.

Do I have to remind you all that drinking and driving is one of the most selfish things you can do on the planet. Okay, in the world of Uber and Lyft, all types of rideshares, there's absolutely zero reason to be driving drunk. And I'm going to be honest with you. If we lived in a world where whenever somebody got behind the wheel drunk and the only person they could hurt by being drunk as themselves, I wouldn't give a day. Okay, I really wouldn't. If every time a person decided to drive drunk, we could guarantee the only person who would be hurt by the situation is them, I would not give a damn. But guess what? That's not reality.

Okay? When you drive drunk, you put everybody else on the highway at risk. And it's ridiculous because in a world full of ride shares, there should never be a reason for you to drive intoxicated. And Lamar Oldham is 46 years old. He should absolutely know better. And this isn't his first rodeo. And by rodeo, I mean DUI. Okay, he's had those before, but I'm not just here to talk about his DUI.

I'm here to talk about what Lamar Odom told police after he got pulled over. See, according to the police report, Lamar Odom was in a black SUV, and he approached the trooper from behind at a high rate of speed. The trooper estimated the car was going at around 90 miles per hour before it passed the police car. Okay, the SUV didn't sped up to 106 miles per hour, but the speed limit on the freeway is 65. So when cops put the signal on, the driver continued to swerve between lanes without signaling, all right seemingly unaware that the police car was behind him with the lights and sirens on and then when the SUV finally did pull over and the trooper approached the vehicle lamar oldham identified himself okay the trooper said he spelled we he saw bloodshot eyes he asked lamar why he was speeding lamar said he was on the phone with his manager and he was almost home then he told the trooper he was going to his friend's house but couldn't say where the house was located he said he was following GPS what makes the story even worse is that lamar had a passenger with him okay both of y'all deserved the biggest he because the only thing worse than an intoxicated driver is an intoxicated passenger with the driver

because either you are yes man or you got a death wish okay because if you wasn't a yes man you'd be like yo we can't drive right now all right all right all right one of the two but let's get to the other layer of why lamar odem is getting don't here today when he was talking to the police officer this is according to the trooper he asked the trooper how was your night going besides me driving like i was in back to the future okay Just just had to run out again. That Mexican food is tan her stomach up. Sorry, we'll get back to that.

But Lamar Odom asked the trooper, how was your night going besides me driving like I was in back to the future? And that struck me because that's exactly what Lamar Odom was attempting to do. We all know drugs and alcohol is an escape from whatever traumas one might be dealing with, but you can't run from yourself. But Lamar McFly on Saturday night tried to do just. that. Lamar Odom was doing 106 miles per hour in a 65 because he was trying to time travel. He wanted to go back to a time when things were all so simple. What moment was Lamar trying to go back to when he won championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010? That was the peak of his professional

career. Great time. He won six men of the year in 2011. Okay, everybody respected our versatile he was on the court. That would be a great moment to relive. Maybe he wanted to go back when he played in 2010 for the Feeble World Championship. They won gold in that. That looked like fun. Maybe he wanted to go back and correct some wrongs, okay, stop himself from overdosing in 2015. Maybe he wanted to go back to when him and Chloe Kardashian were one of the greatest front court duels in celebrity relationship history.

I mean, Lamar was 610, Chloe Kardashian was 6,8, 7, 1 in heels. Okay, you can't talk about some of the greatest front court duels of all time without mentioning them. You got Tim Duncan and David Robinson, Kevin McKeel and Robert Parrish. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, bam, and Asia Wilson, okay? Chloe and Lamar are in that conversation. But Lamar, listen to me.

You don't have to do 106 miles per hour to go back to the future. Marty McFly only had to do 88 in that DeLorean, okay? 88 miles per hour is what activated the flux capacitor and enabled time travel. And you, Lamar, did not have a DeLorean with a flux capacitor. And that's why your SUV didn't burst into flames and take you back to whatever area you was trying to get to. The only thing driving 106 miles per hour with no delorean and no flux capacity to get you is a DUI charge and an excreem case of funeral.

Thank God Lamar, you didn't kill yourself or kill someone else and travel to a dimension you physically can't return from. Please give Lamar Odom to sweet sounds in the hamletones. And I know we were going to talk about something else, but I would like to call an audible because I really feel bad for Jess. Yeah, we were going to do something to happen this morning, but yeah, I think we should call on them. There's nothing worse than like really, really having the poo at work. Now, me, I'm regular.

Now, she went to the bathroom on break, but I guess she was just having one of those moments, and I felt bad because when she came in here, she was describing, and she was like, yo, you ever just be sitting there sweating?

They wanted to come out. So I'm like, man, let me try to get home.

And I got to the red light, and I was like, maybe if I just pass gas a little bit, it'll ease the tension.

I just let it all go. And then all I thought to myself was, man, if I pull up from my apartment complex, I hope my home girl, suit the vow. But vow was my neighbor.

And I was like, I'm gonna take these to the cleaners. Wow. And I took them to the cleaners and never went back to the cleaners. Yes. Because I was so embarrassed.

He broke a couple songs, including this new song with Quavo. I like that. I ain't gonna lie, I like it. That's hard. It sounds like some. It's not out yet, but we'll be getting some more of it. Now, he also debuted a song with Pusha Tea and Jackson Wayne, who's a member of a K-pop group on the runway as well. Let's take a listen to that.

Who that was that? It's a push-a-tie. It don't sound like him, does it? I don't know that don't sound like me. I was saying that same thing we were cutting. I'm like, I kept looking. I'm like, are we for sure? And it was like, every article was like, no, this is the song when I watched it.

It's what they walked to as well. That's exactly why we don't want to push your tea rapping about nothing but dope. Shut up. I don't want to hear about nothing but dope. They just changed the pitch.

I listened to it from a music executive perspective. Oh, wow. And that was a huge mistake. I soon realized listening to it the second time, tears fell. No, again, looking back, I realized that was a mistake. but when I listened to it from a father's perspective, it was like tears falling. And if you truly listen to that song,

a lot of Jay-Z is in those words, right? She wanted to marry someone just like her father. I'm a gangster. Look, I believe you. Look, listen. We have a... Oh, was that an editor? He just randomly yelled out, I'm a gangster in the interview.

He was being funny. He was saying... But in that moment? Yeah, it was like a... Like, he just went to... I wanted him to expound on that, though. I wonder what he means when he said he was listening from a music. He was looking at his daughter as a check.

He was looking at as a music piece opposed to being, that's my daughter. She made this song for me. She should probably say, like, listen to this record, and he just listened to it. He was not a hit. This is not a hit. He didn't know if it was going to be a hit or not.

Yeah, because the song is very, you know, she talks about. Wasn't a hit? No. He wasn't a hit. So he was right. But that's his daughter made a record for him. You shouldn't be thinking of a hit. It was a lot.

He said he made the emotion. This is my little girl. She made a song. She thinks about me so much. She made a song. Exactly. I got it. It was on a dangerous thing in love.

There is no one. Was that before they divorced and broke up? Well, that was after they, the. Matthew. I believe. I'm telling your daughter, no, that ain't it. Nah, that ain't. Yeah.

She was in the heart. Ava, blah, blah. That is. That is. Oh, my God. Can you imagine? Can you imagine not even like listening to the rash crazy? I think about that though when people make songs towards people.

It's like, yo, it better be a slap. Don't make no mediocre record to me. Like, now, give that to reread. That wasn't it. Rearie? What you're talking about it? She talked about yesterday. The reference because Mergie Blas said that.

You said, don't be disrespectful. It's not saying give that when they're not. Well, guess what? They couldn't give it to you, Lauren, even if you could say, you want to know why? You want to know why? She wanted to make one about her father. To answer your question, NB,

Ms. Tina Knowles filed for divorce in 2009, and Dangerously in Love was in 2003. Oh, so it came out before. What was the other record, Beyonce had about Daddy? That was dope. That was the country one. Oh, that was the one on Lemonade. Yes.
