It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. J. Larry is Charlamagne de Gap. We are the Breakfast Club. This would be with my wife to dance to it, I would.

Oh, that's dope. I like that. The remix. Yeah, that's fire. All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. Start up with some quick sports. A lot of sports going on in the NBA, all right?

Anthony Davis, DeAngelo Russell are now with the Washington Wizards. Wizards got a little squad over there. They got a great squad now. If Anthony Davis can stay healthy. Yeah, Tray Young's. Even without 80, they got a little squad. That's right. The Warriors just picked up Porzingis.

Why? Am I missing something? He still drops between, what, 17 to 20 points again? I'm not trading no Jonathan Comingo for no Chris Stab for Zingis? I don't know. And what else? And Chris Paul went to the Raptors. So just to...

Chris Paul ain't even playing. Chris Paul ain't. Just saying Chris Paul went to the Raptors means absolutely nothing. Well, they said he's expected to be waived or traded again. But what's up, Mimi? Good morning, NB, Jess Chalamein. How y'allelam? How y'all doing this morning? Good morning.

Good morning. So we start this morning with a wide-ranging interview that President Trump gave to NBC News. where he weighed in on nearly every issue facing the country right now. So in a sit-down interview that lasted close to an hour, Trump touched on the economy, immigration enforcement, election, artificial intelligence, Iran, and the Federal Reserve. Now, on immigration, Trump says he wants to expand the federal crackdown into five more cities. He didn't say which cities, but says he prefers to go into cities where local leaders will cooperate.

I believe that's a reference to his pushback that the administration they received, here in Minnesota. And during the interview, Trump was asked directly whether the heavy federal presence in Minneapolis changed his thinking on immigration enforcement. Let's listen to what he had to say. I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough.

These are criminal. We're dealing with really hard criminals. But look, I've called the people. I've called the governor. I've called the mayor, spoke to them, had great conversations with them, and then I see them ranting and raving out there. literally as though a call wasn't made.

I'm not happy with what happened. Nobody could be happy, and ICE wasn't happy either. But I'm going to always be with our great people of law enforcement. ICE, police, we have to back them. If we don't back them, we don't have a country. And on the economy, he says he's still fixing what he describes as damage left by the Biden administration. He also stopped short of promising those $2,000 rebate checks that are tied to tariffs, saying it's something that Congress would have to approve. We've talked about that before.

Now, the interview, it also turned to elections. Trump was asked whether he would trust the results of the upcoming midterms if Republicans lose control of Congress. Let's listen to what he had to say on that. I will, if the elections are honest. What is happening? I'm not doing anything, but the FBI went in because it's been under review, the cheating that took place in Fulton County and in that particular Nobody knows what's in the war. What are you going to find out? Look, why would anybody be upset that they went in and they got the ballots, I guess, right? We have to have honest elections.

There should be nothing wrong with the fact that they went in, got ballots from a while ago, and they're going to look at it, and now they're going to find out the true winner of that state. And you know what? If there was cheating, which there was, but if there was cheating, it should be found, because we can't let it happen again. Does he know he's on audio? trying to find votes. And I'm tripping it.

Does he know that? Does he care? Does he know that's him? Yeah, exactly. I don't think he cares. I don't think he's on audio trying to cheat. Like, we know this. Like, does he know this?

You know, and then if you really listen to that bite there, he says that, you know, they want to investigate to see who was the true winner and see if there was fraud, which there was fraud. But if you're going to investigate, then I guess you wouldn't know if there's fraud yet. So, you know, it's, it's, we'll see.

We already kind of know what that may turn into. And so that was a wide-ranging conversation. That's still raising a lot of questions this morning. And more of that interview will play during the Super Bowl this Sunday. And that interview actually, would you say something, Jeff? No, I was landing. It's going to play during the Super Bowl. Oh, yeah.

She's high, maybe. You don't even pay her no attention. That wasn't, I don't, that don't pair of no tension. Okay, okay. And that interview actually, so that's a little bit of a little bit of the table. us up for our next story because the rhetoric isn't just stopping with the president. A close ally, a close Trump ally is now talking about immigration agents at polling places this November. So Steve Bannon, a former White House strategist and now a right-wing podcast host says he wants

immigration agents stationed at polling places during the November midterm elections. Let's listen. You're damn right. We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November. We're not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again. And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen. Well, we saw this coming. It was clear.

That was the obvious play. The question I have is what is going to be done about it? I asked Governor Westmore that very question last week when he was here. Like ICE is clearly going to be used to disrupt the midterms under the guise if we have to keep people from stealing the election when they're the ones trying to steal the election. Yeah.

And not to mention, you know, the administration has stepped up the pressure on the Democratic-led states. They're suing them over their voter administration. We know that here in Minnesota, they towed the governor, they wrote a letter basically saying, you know, if you give us your voter rolls, we'll pull ice out. And so the Justice Department, they are also suing multiple states for access to those voter rolls. And Democrats, including Chuck Schumer, they're calling for, they're calling that push illegal and dangerous. And they're warning that this is about power and not election security, kind of what you just said there. Charlemagne. So we'll continue to watch what that looks like as it continues to unfold. And coming

up at 7, one of the biggest brands in the world, Nike, is now facing a federal investigation. It's raising big questions, though, about workplace diversity. We'll tell you what that entails. All right. And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105.1. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 1-800-5-105-1. Call us now. Now is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Tasha, from Virginia Beach. Hey, Tasha from the 75-7. Get off your chest. So, I feel as though people love Outcast and as a collector, they give them their flowers all the time. Yes, indeed. But I feel as though

Big Boy doesn't get the love that Andre does. People always say Andre's on their favorite lyrics, but Big Boy doesn't get the same love as Andre. Yes. And I don't think that's right. I mean, I don't know if it was right and what's wrong about that. But I just think that, you know, because of the air of mysteriousness around Andre and the fact that, you know, you don't really hear from him, it just makes his legend, you know, grow even more over time. That's all.

And I think it's preference. People just like his style. Just like his lyricism a little better. That's, you know, it's just all in preference. Big boy gets busy just as well as three steps. He's phenomenal. Yeah. Indeed.

Indeed he does. As a collective and his solo project. But I don't think it's the air of mysteriousness around Andre. I mean, God damn. The man gave you a whole album without words. You know what I'm saying? You're going to listen to this flute. Like, you know what I mean?

Like, all that does is make you want to hear, like, who is this guy? His air of mystery is just so large. Right. No, I agree. Yeah, I ain't rock with the flute, though, bugging. She didn't even. That's a lot of the flute album. On the early Saturday morning, Sunday morning,

throw that flute album on. That's a great album. Now, I'd rather listen to 90s on beat than the flute album. Because you don't meditate and stuff like that. You don't know how to sit down and keep your brain still. I like that. That's why you, the complexion of a sugar cookie nut. That's because of the sun and I get lighter.

Not because of the sun. There's no sun. No, that's not what you said. You know what I mean. Maybe I'm hot like Jess. But anyway, thank you, Mama. And I got one more. Wait, wait, I got one more.

Go ahead. So, and also, why don't they do remixes like they used to? The 90s was full of like R&B remixes, the Mary J. Blige remixes, the J. Blige remixes, the Jodis remix. Why don't they do remixes like this? Man, the cocaine ain't as pure as it used to be. So there ain't no reason for people to just be in the studio all night, man. And don't nobody want to jump on no trash.

For real, it's a lot of trash out of that I won't jump on it. You got to give our Kelly and Diddy their props because they was king of the remixes in the 90s. Yeah. They was on cocaine. And staying up in the studio all night. Absolutely. Absolutely. Last question.

Yes, ma'am. The documentary that you all always mentioned. The Breakfast Club. No one on a drop? Yes, the Breakfast Club documentary. It's coming. We work? I mean, no, not soon.

Not soon. This is coming up. It's definitely coming. We figured it out. It's coming out. It's definitely coming. Okay, I love y'all so much. I've been listening since I moved to Virginia 13 years ago.

Oh, my God, yes. He's known as DJ Young Slave, but his name is Nathan. He's been reported missing in Georgia. So police put out a missing person's alert on Tuesday saying that the 28-year-old, who is Nathan, ran out of his home on foot and hasn't been seen since. Now, according to what police are saying, they don't believe that he has a phone. He may be disoriented in need of help. Authorities are stressing the fact that he is no threat to the public, but they are asking anybody with information that could help locate him to please reach out and give any information that you have about his whereabouts.

And yesterday, Little John's rep sent a statement. And it was very brief. When I was talking to her, I just let her know, like, you know, however y'all need to use this platform, if y'all, you know, if there's numbers or places, whatever people can call, let us. no, we don't ever mind being, you know, that type of platform. But she basically couldn't say much to me. All she said was that little John and his family are asking for privacy at this time, and they want people to understand that. And they're also asking for continued prayers for Nathan to come home safe.

Thank you in any way that you can get in contact with local law enforcement. If you know something, please do. See, I didn't know the details. I just saw the headline that he went missing, but I didn't know that he ran out of his house. Yeah, how is he? He's 28 years old. Okay. Yeah, he's 28 years old.

And that's the only details they have for right now, right? They haven't seen him. Canadian women are looking for more.

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.

had both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Almermata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. to be in what we really thought was a revolution.

I mean, people would die. In 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home. That's your husband. to keep this secret for so many years.

He's like a seasoned pro. This is a story about the end of a marriage, but it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark. You're a dangerous person who prays on vulnerable and trusting people. Your creditor, Michael Levin Good. Listen to Betrayal Season 5

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. on no cameras No, I haven't seen any updates to the story as of yet, but I'll be checking it all day and at 8 a.m. I do plan on calling the police department back

to see just as things are going on. And you know, you've got to respect people's wishes, but man, I would not want privacy at a time like this. If you see something, say something, I want to know every single person that has potentially seen my missing child, everything. When I mean privacy, I mean, I'm sure they don't want people calling on them

and checking on them while they're dealing with it, but any information that they have, I'm sure. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Except that immediately, yeah. Yeah, 100%. Now, in other news,

we talked about this story yesterday. Savannah Gunthrey, now there's no Anna her name, Savannah Guthrie from Today Show, the host from the Today Show, whose mother, 84-year-old mother is missing. Her and her siblings put out a video yesterday pleading to just have some sight

or of life from their mom, from whoever has their mom right now. Let's take a listen. On behalf of our family, we want to thank all of you for the prayers, for our beloved mom, Nancy. Mama, if you're listening, we need you to come home, we miss you. Our mom is our heart and our home.

She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. We are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk.

However, we need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please reach out to us. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again. We love you, Mom. We love you, Mom. Stay strong.

That was definitely an inside job. Because when you read the details of that sick case, how did they even know that she was home alone? How did they know when she was going to be home? They said that there might be a camera missing. That's what I'm saying. Somebody had to know all of those little small details. I do want to say too.

So yesterday I told you guys that Ashley Bannefield had reported something about the brother-in-law potentially being a suspect. And everyone who reached out to police down in Arizona yesterday got the same statement that said that police can't confirm that. And they don't know where those reports are coming from. What's happening is police are talking to any and everybody that would have been in contact with. Or even in the house. It could have been anybody in the house that did service in the house. that changed delivery first

delivery person anything like that I even saw that they were you know looking into someone who had like a prior trespassing incident near her home as well too like they're just doing

what they should be doing at the point at this point did they hear anything from the brother-in-law like he's in a statement or anybody see him or so the brother-in-law

and his wife they were seen yesterday like just in the car out or whatever but basically what police are saying is that just because they're having conversations with these people

doesn't make him a suspect yeah police have to talk to everybody involved family members, everything, to get as much information as possible. As I said yesterday, whoever thinks that they get in the way with a ransom in 2006, you are on your way to prison. Okay?

They already got you. You just don't even know it yet. Okay? 100%. They just want to see how stupid you are. This is, yeah. I just hope they get grandma back because, I mean, the fact that they say that she's not on her medicine, that the pacemaker is not connecting to, I just hope they get great my back.

Yeah, 84. 84. Yeah. 84. 84. 84. Yeah. Yeah. And I did see that, you know, Trump was talking about he's sending all resources that they need.

All federal law enforcement to the family and local law enforcement sources are at their complete disposal immediately, he says. So, yeah, they're taking a series as they should. And in the next latest, we'll be talking about some serious things because 50 Sin has now responded to Floyd Mayweather saying he was robbed for over $300 million by Showtime, allegedly. We're going to get into that conversation. All right. Everybody else, when we come back, we got front page news and then don't forget. Devon, Franklin, Kelly Rowland, and Metta Man will be joining us. The new movie Relationship Goals is streaming on Prime now. We'll talk to them in a little bit.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Salomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news.

Some quick sports. A lot going on in the NBA. Anthony Davis, DeAngela Russell, was sent to the Wizards. The Warriors picked up Porzingis. What else? Chris Paul went into Toronto. There's a lot went on in the NBA. No word on Janus.

getting traded, people were saying he was going to the Knicks, then they said the Warriors, I'm not sure what's going on with the honest. I don't know, man. Like, the NBA don't do it for me like he used to. Like, I'm, when it comes to basketball, I'm way more into women's basketball than I am men's basketball. Like, I watch men's basketball. Maybe because it's too hard to find, like it's on all of the different channels at all. Well, the Knicks are always on.

The Knicks were 8 in a row. That's because we're in New York. So you know what it turned at the MSG Network. But I'm talking about as far as everybody else, they're too hard to find. But I like women's college basketball and WNBA way more and I like the NBA right now. I love my next man. Yo, don't skip over Jared McCain going to the Oklahoma City Thunder. You didn't read that.

Oh, is he good? Yeah. For real? How much you average? If he just went to the Thunder, yeah. I'm much you average. He's 2026 first round pick. I'm a man.

Man, you high as hell. No, I'm reading it. It's right down. How was he a 2026 first round pick when he's in the NBA? This man averages. Jared McLean averages six points, two rebounds and one assist again. You just said he's a 2026 first round pick, but they didn't even have,

Didn't be any draft yet for 2026. And ain't three future second round picks. What? Well, somebody wrote this, yo. I'm reading it. So stop reading with everybody writes. Oh, that's why you ain't read. Okay, that's why they're reading.

I'm not just told you you need to read more, but no. I'm trying. Then when I read, it's a problem. Don't read out loud. All right. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Jess. Charlotte Maine, NB.

How y'all doing this morning? Hey, Mimi. Good morning. So if you're paying more for rent or trying to buy a home or wondering why price is keep climbing. This is what lawmakers were fighting over yesterday on Capitol Hill. So, Treasurer's Secretary Scott Bessett, he was pressed by House Democrats over tariffs and oversight and whether the government is easing up on investigations into powerful corporations and foreign-linked deals. So the hearing was supposed to focus on financial stability. Instead, Democrats,

they zeroed in on why the House or why housing is still so expensive, why enforcement against large corporations appear to be slowing, and whether the federal agencies, whether they are doing enough to prevent foreign money from influencing U.S. markets, all things that can affect interest rates, housing supply, and household goods. Things boiled over when New York Congressman Gregory Meeks, he questioned Bessick about foreign investors in Trump-linked business interests asking whether the Treasury would stop and step in to investigate the Trump administration. Let's listen to that.

No, is will you halt it and do a complete investigation? and scrutiny of this license application. Oh, yeah, the answer is yes or no? No, Congressman. The OCC is an independent entity, and I would know Congressmen. I take that in 2006. Strip of in his way or just stop covering for the president. Don't be a flunky work for the American people.

Don't be a cover up for a mob. He said don't be a flunky. Yeah. Oh, flunky. I thought I heard something. What? No, that is the Congressman Meeks. His district is actually Queens, envy.

But yes, he said, do not be a flunky for the president or cover up for a mob. It was pretty heated. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, she also had some moments where she also kind of went in on Treasury Bessett and wanted to reclaim her time. But the committee chair, he tried to restore order. He stepped in, but Democrats, they accused Bessett of protecting the president instead of answering to the public. And this isn't just a policy debate.

It's about whether watchdogs are meant to protect consumers are actually doing their job at a time when families are paying more for housing, groceries, and everyday life. And one of the biggest brands in the world is now under federal scrutiny. So the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says it is investigating Nike over claims

that some of the company's diversity policies may have discriminated against white employees. This is crazy. Yeah, the investigation. It became public after the EEOC, it went to a federal courthouse to force Nike to turn over more information. So the agency is asking for more records on how Nike handled layoffs, how it tracks employees, how it tracks their race, their ethnicity, and whether certain mentoring or leadership programs were limited by race. Now, Nike says it's been cooperating with investigators and it's already turned over thousands of pages of documents. and they're calling this subpoena a surprising escalation.

And what's drawing so much attention to this case is the investigation did not come from a worker complaint. Instead, it was launched by the EEOC chair who filed her own internal complaint. So, you know, under the Trump administration, the agency has been outspoken and, you know, all the criticism against DEI programs. And so now that makes Nike the highest profile company so far to face a formal anti-DI investigation. Oh, you know what that means. Nike, you just got to write a check to the president. Okay? That's just another shakedown. Because I don't understand.

Like, if it didn't come from an employee. That didn't come from the employees. I didn't even know the EEOC could just initiate an internal complaint like that. Without a complaint from an employee. Like, where are they getting this from? Like, they don't work there. That's so wild to me, man.

Somebody at the White House president, they probably is like, too many black people got sneakers. Why is Nike giving all these black people's sneaker deals? Wow. That is crazy. It's always been the case. Is that the first time you heard the case where white workers,

they're saying that there's not enough white workers in the business? I think we're seeing a lot more of that right now. You know, they, I did a story a couple weeks ago about, what, reverse racism because, you know, white people were being discriminated against. And so this just is part for the course.

Yeah, that's crazy, but it's even crazy that this did not come from an employee. This did not come from somebody who actually works at the company. It came from the EEOC. What the hell do they know about, about what internally happens at Nike. But there's not enough light-skinned people

that work in the breakfast club because I'm about to complain. That's because of you. Why would we hire more when you've done the job you've done? No. So what comes of this though? Like, are they, do they have to pay?

Like, don't you? They got to prove that, no. They can't just say that. No, they got to prove that. That's what Nike's saying. We've turned, they've turned over. But what this does, Jess, actually, that's a really good question.

Because what this does, it will influence how more major corporations hire their employers across the country and it will determine promotions and workplace programs going forward so a lot of people get jobs based on workplace programs they get promotions based on

diversity and equity and inclusion and so now if they're going after Nike that's going to scare other companies but this investigation is bogus it did not come from an employee complaint they're going to write a check that's what I just said they don't have to write a check to somebody

that's what he wants though Like he wants to put pressure on a lot of these institutions and hope that they just be like, all right, man, what I got to do to make this go away? No, so then, but Nike can be like, no, we're not doing it. Then what happens? They should be.

Yeah. When Vice President Kamala Harris said earlier, it was like last year, they asked her, you know, is she surprised about what's going on? She said, no, she's surprised about how people are just bending the knee. Right. You know what I'm saying?

How people, how these institutions, you know, are just so, these corporations are just so quick to say here, as opposed to saying, no. Well, they're probably saying here, because they don't want to get attacked any further. You know what I mean? They're Nike.

It's probably easier to pay and make them go away. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You don't want to get attacked any further. It's not how it works. But in this administration, these people are cutting checks for no reason. Because it's not a one-time thing. If you cut the check one time,

the person's going to keep coming back, keep coming back, keep coming back. At some point, you've got to be like, no. This ain't right. It's like a bully. You've got to stand up to him. Yes. They keep coming back. That's wow.

Exactly. All right. Well, that is your front-page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories, follow the Black Information Network, download the free IHeartRadio app or visit BINNews.com.

Thank you, Mimi. Thank you. Now, when we come back, Devon, Franklin, Kelly Rowland, and Method Man will be joining us. They have a new movie relationship goal streaming on Prime Video right now. So you can get on the streaming right now.

And also, you know, today is Jeff Fixed My Mess. So if you need relationship advice, Jess says I'm high today, so I don't know how her advice is going to be today. But if you do need relationship advice, about co-parenting because her new co-parenting book comes out April 28th. You can get on them phone lines right now. 800585-105-105.1 is the breakfast club.

I actually help people better when I'm high. So you're high. No, no, no. I'm just saying I help people better, so it might not be a good day. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV.

Just hilarious. Shalameen the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRose is here as well. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We got some family. We have Kelly Rowland.

The brother Met the Man and Devon Franklin. Welcome back. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. We're feeling great. We got a movie coming out. I know, right?

Relationship goals. Relationship goals. What made you want to turn relationship goals into a movie? It's a book by Pastor Michael Todd. What made you want to turn into a film? You know what? One of my greatest inspirations as a producer is my brother Will Packer. Okay.

And when I saw what he did with Steve Harvey's book, think like a man, I said, wait a minute. This Relationship Goals book has so many great principles. Why don't we do that with this? And so that was the inspiration. And then also what was so cool is when Pastor Todd released the book, he put it out during the pandemic. And as an author, when you can't tour, that book usually doesn't work. He did everything virtually.

It went to number one on the New York Times bestsellers list. And when you look at how people were responding and how many lives are being changed, I just thought it was the great foundation for romantic comedy. Now, break down what the movie is about for people that haven't seen or haven't seen the trail last yet. Without giving it a weight up. Well, basically, you know, Kelly plays Leah, Matt plays Jared, and they have a history. But in the present moment of the story, they're competing for the same job. And Method comes up with the idea, they're in the news world.

And Method comes up with the idea, his character, Jared, comes up with the idea, hey, why don't we do a story on the book Relationship Goals? For Valentine's Day. Exactly. Exactly. And then that begins everyone in the group, beginning to think about their aim and think about their love life and think about their relationships. So I'm not going to give it away.

but that's kind of the catalyst for the movie. Absolutely. How do y'all, this is random, but the song complicated. Like, the song is dope. Well, what made y'all want to go do a song so early? Was that part in the contract? Okay, we got Kelly and Mepso they got to do a song for the movie. No, it just happened.

Like, you know, I got the script, I read the script. I was inspired, went into the studio, I've been working on music. So I literally just started writing from Leah's perspective, myself and Jesse Reyes. And then it came out. And then I sent it to Devon and Amber Raspberry over at Amazon. I was like, I wonder if it'll work. And it just kind of worked. I said it to Matt, and he was like, yeah, let me, let me do my...

Let me just bark on this story. Have you either of y'all been in that situation in real life where you got to do business with somebody that you was in a relationship with? That would be awkward. I mean, it just kind of happened. That's all. It just kind of happened. No.

Me either. No. Is there any aspects of? of the character's lives that relate to your real life? Absolutely. I mean, I think the way Leah has, when you meet her, she's holding on to everything. She's so in control.

You know what I mean? And I think that for her, like, when she has control of everything, she's feeling like, I got this. And she does. And she does, but she also is dealing with a whole bunch of internal stuff. Grief is a big one for her. You know what I mean? And it's kind of like drifting into everything else in her life.

And you see how it plays a big role in her. her decision making and everything. It's really interesting. So, yeah, that I definitely understood. Yeah. Jess, what's the one thing I tell you about it? As soon as I started watching, what's the first thing I tell you? What I tell you?

Oh, the dope suits in the wardrobe. Yeah. Anyway. What I say? What I say? No, you did say it about it. I didn't see that guy. What I said?

He couldn't help, but he loved the wardrobe of Leah. And he was like, you show me. I said, yeah, I said the wardrobe was dope. The suits remind me of it was powerful, but it gave me like a little Janet Jackson with it too. The way to change, well, it was just dope. I've never seen, you don't really see shows. Usually the wardrobe was cheap.

Yes. But it seemed like they put a lot into it. I'll show Jess. I'm like, water was dope. Was that your idea? Like, did you style yourself for the movie? Can you dress me? So, because Devon is a producer,

and he so graciously allowed me to EP on this project as well, I was like, Devon, I have some ideas. And I literally showed him a Pinterest board. You know what I mean? Of how I saw. everybody and all the characters. And so, you know, he obliged and allowed us to just have a little bit of fun. Oh, man, she killed it.

I mean, we had our wardrobe, our costume designer was named Gersh Phillips. And so, but, you know, Kelly, you know, would just be sending pictures and then also use all her relationships in the fashion world. That wasn't cheap. Yeah, it was dope wardrobe. Yeah. But thankfully, we didn't have to pay for all of them. Huh? Did you have to get back?

Huh? Some stuff, of course you do. Yeah, we gave the Mary stuff back. No, it was great. What do the power suits mean? for Kelly as an actress because I know Amia Copa it was all about the power suits and the silhouettes as well too and then I see you here again

and that was a personal decision so like as an actor like what are you saying to the people that are watching you by choosing to be specific about that I mean I think that women are powerful and I think it should be unapologetic and sometimes it does start with like how you feel on the outside your word job on the outside because when somebody sees you all put together they're like

okay I got to step up you know so for me it was just like stepping up whether it's for myself or expecting others to step up as well so I feel like, you know, you gotta put on to like, really. Sometimes it's like when it's not here immediately, you usually have to put on, but I feel like that. Thank you.

So I wanted my character to make sure she felt like that. Because once we start pulling back the layers of your character, I feel like she was trying to learn how to accept love and so many different ways throughout the movie. Correct. But you show up as like, you, don't even talk to me. Like, you can't sit with you. Yes, it's a shield.

It's a bit of a shield, you know? That list had a lot to do with it as well. The shield was just walls, just layers and layers of everything. But that's even deep. So we don't want to give away that too much there either. And what did you get comfortable with actor? Because, you know, looking at you... I'm never comfortable.

Never? It looks so comfortable now. You don't look like a rapper. Now I see you as active. Once you get comfortable, you get lazy, you know? So I like to explore outside my comfort zone. Yeah. Yeah.

So I don't think I'm ever going to be comfortable with acting. Really? Yeah. I don't think you should be. Yeah, right? Yeah, I don't think you should be. Did you draw the roles emotionally or creatively? Both.

Okay, both. So what drew you to this one? This one was more emotionally. I see Jared as a man going through a transition. He's thinking more along the lines of legacy, you know, leaving something behind, having something that really shows meaning to fulfill himself. And I think that when this job opportunity comes up, yes, I mean, that is a great way to start. but oh, Leah works there as well.

This is a sign. And it's something that he could either take advantage of in the moment or, you know, stay focused on what the prize is, which he thought was the job, but it was actually... Leah. That's what's dope about the movie. It's like it talks about expectations versus reality and like these modern relationships.

Like, where do you think people get the most unrealistic expectations from? Social media. You all the time. Don't try it. That's what that this reminds me. Absolutely. And P.S., I think that social media and everybody actually believe in the hype, like, they've done a fine job of just adding fuel to the fire. So to me, I think that we have an obligation, especially now for this next generation that's looking at us, like thinking that it's just, oh, so great.

And we have to peel back layers. And I think that this movie does a really great job of peeling back layers and being honest in that way. I actually love the fact that Pastor Michael Todd named the book relationship goals because that's the draw. And that's where people are like, what the heck is a relationship goal? You know, what does that look like? It's actually something for you to define what it is because I'm not somebody else. I'm not a decision making somebody else. You know what I mean?

I'm making decisions for me and somebody else. Me and this other person are making decisions and figuring out our relationship. I can't bite that. That comes with a whole other set of trauma, a whole other set of issues, whole other thing. instead of everything else. So I can't make that my relationship go. I don't know what the background is. I feel like everyone wants to live in their purpose.

Sometimes they just don't know what it is. And when they watch movies like this or even social media, they live vicariously through the people they connect with. And it's always going to be someone who wants to keep up with the Joneses, but there are very few Joneses that want to keep up with anybody. So when you find yourself in these spaces where you want to live that fantasy and have that happy ending and it turns out not to be that happy ending,

you have to bear with that and then move on. And that's it. Can you have a relationship in the workplace now, though? You know, because I look at these movies and I always say, if my son works somewhere, I would, that's where he's going to meet somebody, right? Because you're at your job, eight to nine hours a day.

So that's where you're most likely to meet somebody. But in the society, they tell you that you can't work with somebody that you have a relationship with. Can that happen? I don't think you can meet some. I mean, I don't know. I can't. You out of here.

Me and you're going to eat. We all out. When you work in some way and you mess with somebody, it's cute at first. But then when things turn, I got to come to work and I got to see this nbh. Break worm. I got, oh, my God.

Maybe I'll argue that morning and now you're at work. So to your own discretion, I feel like it can be done when two people know what they want, when they know how to clearly distinguish business from, you know, work from our personal. You know, when we're at work, we are coworkers. You got to treat, you got to be aligned.

Boundaries, I think you make an excellent point. That's great. You just have to also, you know, use discretion. Because also in the movie, they're colleagues. Yeah. You know, it's not like one is higher than the other. And I think you just have to be very, very mindful of your position professionally when you're making a decision on, you know, who to date in the workplace and how to date that person.

But really thinking with discretion and integrity is important. Because once that's gone, you know, everything is up for grabs at that point. So how did the movie challenge, or even? affirm your own beliefs about love? I mean, I, when it comes to grief, like I understood my character holding it together

because remember, like, right after I had Titan, that's when my mom passed. So I didn't realize, like, I was, like, trying to keep it together. So I remember when we shot the scene that day, I was like, I literally was like, like, not letting it go before. because I felt like I've I felt that so tough because we are like a lot of people are dealing with grief but you don't know that it comes in waves that's what I love the way Regina Hall talks about us are Regina King talks about it it's so honest and just really authentic and when she said it I completely understood it it's actually in my notebook my relationship goes journal a notebook her quotes that she was talking about dealing with grief but I just let it all go so I understood that

with her as it equates to love. What about you, love? I don't know. How did it affirm, didn't that? You know what I mean? Watch the movie, though. What about you, for me, what I love in the movie is, you know, all the main characters, you know,

are reading the book and wrestling with what it means for them. And one of the biggest tenets in the books is fixing your aim and knowing what you're shooting at. And so for me, what I love about the movie, It's like, I really sincerely believe love is the most powerful force in the universe. Absolutely. And I think that it's really easy in our culture to get cynical about it, especially when you go through things and difficulties and challenges in the area of love, dating, and relationships.

But for me, it was about, we got to keep this area of hope. This is an area where people hurt so much. So for me personally, making the movie was like, this is good. It's therapeutic. It's positive to put this out there that we can't give up on love, I believe, especially as a man. I think it's important for us as men. And when you see, you know, his character, Jared's character and the meth character in the film named Jared, he's a man who believes in love.

He has a past and he's reckoned with that past and he's making amends for that past. But one of the things that the book does is reminds him that love is the aim. And I just think that's something that I wanted to put in the culture right now. With all that being said, how do you shut down though, right? Because you guys do so many projects. You were on tour. You do so many different things. You do so many different things.

How do you shut down for that love at home? You know, because you still got to work. But then you still got a home life That you got to make sure the home is good How do y'all... Two separate worlds I think home life is more grounded in reality for me I can't speak for everybody

Home life is grounded more in reality for me All this is TV Period You ever have to shut that TV down And make sure you spend that quality time That we forget about sometimes When I'm outside I'm outside

When I'm indoors That's a totally different energy So I know how to separate the two you know but they are I'm not going to lie I'd rather be inside than outside at this point in my life so you know but I do know how to separate the two not saying it always works something

has to suffer in the end Kelly can definitely speak to that you know something one thing's going to be imbalanced and the other is going to you know whatever but you learn to deal with it you learn to move forward and you learn to say this is what our life is and we have to

accept that I'm glad you said that because work life balance is a myth I don't know why we're going to say. It doesn't exist. No, it doesn't. And then you put all the other variables in which you are in it. And you're like, oh, today, motherhood is my priority. Then it's like, oh, well, I haven't spent any time with Tim. I need to go spend time.

Okay, so Tim is the priority today. Oh, I need to get back to this project. Okay, so music is like everything like Trump's the other one. Everything. Yeah, don't see that one. Everything. Everything. Everything.

is more of a priority than others on certain days. I just think that like you said, it's no such thing as a balance. You're just figuring out which one is the priority that day. Whoa. Oh, no, no, no. No, I was just going to say, so I think it's also integration.

Because even when you're busy and you're away, consideration is, if you prioritize that, and consideration can just be a tax. Yes. Hey, babe, thinking about you. Babe, look at this. You know, it's just always keeping your relationship

with priority mentally and emotionally, spiritually. and even when you're not there, that will then produce different forms of consideration. And that's how you do it because there is no... I'm texting right now, Matt's like,

let me take you're out. In real life, no, literally, before I left the house like the other morning to come here, I did,

what do you call it? Post-its, like post-it notes, like in the closet, like in Tim's closet and Noah's closet. Like, just to remind them,

like, have a great day of school today. Ooh, baby, I can't wait to you get back. Like, all that stuff is really important. It definitely sells a seat. Consideration.

Go, go ahead. Go, go. Not the hair raised. And I'd be for both of them. I mean, I agree, y'all, but Devon, specifically, what do you believe is the healthiest balance of using faith and therapy to seek love? Yeah, I think, I think. Yo, go ahead.

What's wrong with you? She's got real questions. You got a bully over there. Linnard. Linners. Lins. All right. You know, he's not.

Listen, listen, they both work together, but they're both separate, right? Right. I believe that anybody who has found love or wants love has to have faith.

I'm in Malmelaq Lamoma.

It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. have both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia at Martin's Almermata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King Sr. and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people were dying. 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone.

The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in she, Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe.

That's your home. That's your husband. So keep this secret for so many years. He's like a seasoned pro. This is a story about the end of a marriage. But it's also the story of one woman. who was done living in the dark. You're a dangerous person who prays

unvulnerable and trusting people. Your predator might go up and good. Listen to Betrayal Season 5 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Miracle on a planet with billions of people that two people can find each other and make the decision to do life together.

That is like a miracle. So you've got to have a level of faith even if you don't realize it. Because if you're on an app or you're going out, You're having a faith that one day I'm going to find a person that's going to be my partner. So that's faith to me. When it comes to therapy, therapy is about the trauma, right? And most of us have had a lot of trauma in this area of love dating and relationships.

So I do believe that in order to be a great partner and just a great person, therapy is important. You know, I got into therapy, what, six, seven years ago. And what it does. My kids are watching. They love that six. Oh, they love that. Right. There you go.

For the coach. You don't. But for me, but what you don't realize is you think like, oh, I'm good. Yeah. But you don't realize when you get into therapy, you realize, oh, wow, there's some wounds. And then what you don't realize when you don't do therapy, then you bleed on your partner. And then you get, you want them to be your therapist. Yes.

And I, for me, personally, I had to work on what my wounds were, getting that type of healing. So then I can be a better individual or better partner. So I think they work together. But they definitely are individual pursuits. Did you know meth and Kelly Rowland was the perfect match for this? No, you know, I didn't. What was cool was I've been developing this script for years. You know, really, whenever I'm making a movie, you know, a movie is only as good as a script.

So this script just took a little longer to get right because, you know, Pastor Todd's book is a book of advice. It's not a narrative. So we literally had to create the story from scratch. And so by the time I got the script right, and then I had hired Linda Mendoza to direct the movie and she's a really you know amazing prominent comedy director and so I was like okay who can do this and I talked to Amazon I was like Kelly Rowland so Kelly and I had had lunch right before Mia Culpa came out and so I got a sense of what it is she wanted to do and so I sent it to her and

over the weekend and in 24 hours she read it and she's like I'm in I'm like bet so I let Amazon know yo we got Kelly they're like dope let's do it so we started the process of making the movie and we started you know seeing a lot of guys to play Jared we look at did probably 100 different dudes. Yeah, Idris didn't cut it. Exactly. He was wet. And then Amber Raspberry, our executive at Amazon,

said, hey, what about met the man? And I was like, yo, we met like 10 years ago, I've been talking about trying to do something. So we sent him the script. He loved it. He came in on a chemistry read with Kelly. And within two minutes, we were like, all right, back. There it is.

And so it just organically, you know, came out this way. And to me, it's like, the thing about them, and I'll say this with them here. It's like you may see like, you know, talent that came from the music industry. I want to be very clear. These are two of Hollywood's greatest actors. When you talk about their preparation,

I mean, like, Matt cares so much about his lines. There was one, see, we were in the car, and he just kept loving one line. And he would not stop until he got it perfect. These are two consummate professionals, the way they prepared, the way they got into character,

the way they were ambassadors on set. You're not just seeing too much. music icons come together. You're really seeing two of Hollywoods, I think, leading man and leading woman coming together. Does that come from rap, Meph? Like wanting to get the bar right? You want to hit a rhythm. You know what I mean?

Yeah, and I just wasn't feeling it, so I wanted to get it absolutely right. And I mean, if you guys have seen the movie, our leading lady is fantastic. Yes, she is. And she carries this film big time. Some of my favorite scenes are, I told her to myself, some of my favorite scenes are with you and the girls. and just that whole camaraderie feels genuine. It doesn't feel thrown together

and it feels real. So kudos. You know, Jess tried out for a partner in the moment. No, relax. I said, don't bring that up. I'm sorry, my bad. You did?

Her audition. No, but the audition was great. It was great. Oh, you seen it? Of course, I've seen it. Yes, I make sure happen. You know God's watching. I would lie like that.

I would not lie. I would not lie. I could tell you from a personal experience, Jess, when you don't get the part, sometimes it's just you don't fit the suit. That's it. Now, I've got to ask a question. They got to leave it shortly, too, guys.

When you were performing at the Barclays or Prudential, which one was it? It was at the ballclays. Did you see it? Did you see? Heck yeah, I did. That's why I said, hey. No, I saw her face.

No, I saw her face. No, that's a different, Jesse. Don't play with me. No, but I saw her face and I lit up because it was so nice to see her face. She said that. We thought she was lying. No. No, because Jess has always.

really kind and really cool and I really appreciate it so when I see her it's warmth always she doesn't matter her husband though why oh my god he was so excited to see you listen my husband went crazy when you came out there I said it's Kelly rolling yeah exactly but he

turned to me and said it like you know that's Kelly Rowland I know I know I'm talking about talking about you all night and I love I started talking about it with him it's hard it's like damn she looked good Congratulations on that.

Oh, thank you. You killed it. I just loved it. You look so good. Thank you. All that. It was right. I love it.

What do y'all hope people take from this film that they might not hear from their friends? Oh, I think they go hear from their friends. I think what's interesting is when the movie goes off. It's so quiet. You know what I mean? Like in this way. And then it's like a chatter. You know what I mean?

And it's like, well, I, you know what? It starts conversation. I hope it provokes conversation left and right. So that it, like, really encourages people to see the movie, see the message, see these characters. And not just know it's like not just about the Jared and Leah relationship. It's the girlfriends, too. The girlfriends enrich the story. Yeah.

And, like, how beautiful it was that as relationship goes for even the friends as well, that I want to give away too much. But it's like the. The relationship with the girlfriends and everybody that's involved, you see how relationship goals as a whole, not just romantically, are just really important. And, yeah, that's what it is for me. I just want people to root for these people in this film. Yeah, root for their relationships as well.

Yeah, and for me, I mean, I think it's one of the few movies that can actually change your life. Because when you look at the YouTube series, and the relationship goes YouTube series, then the relationship goals book, change millions of people's lives for the better. And the same principles in the book in the YouTube series are in the movie. So I think I want people to have a great experience.

It's funny. It's a great entertaining film with two of the greatest actors on the planet. And it can actually make you fix your aim in life and in love. And I think that it's a rare thing where you can watch a movie that entertains you. But it also makes you think like, oh, shoot, there's some things I can actually change. And I can apply what I saw in the film to my personal life. And then you're not getting enough credit, man, because, you know, you wanted a few black men that's not only, you know, getting things made. getting things greenlit, you know, casting a lot of black people.

Like, I don't think you get enough credit for that with Franklin Entertainment. That's right. You're up here. I disagree. I disagree. He's very active. We see Devon a lot, especially in the past three years. I've seen a lot of people.

Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Well, let's out today. Make sure you go get it. We'll go check it out on prime video. Relationship goals. We appreciate you for joining us.

Now let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight bad. Tell her, maybe. She gets them to somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Hot Dog Law on the breakfast club. Talk to me. God damn it, Top Dog Law. That was, y'all, our hour early now. Top Dog Law was out of 8.50. The people told me they were they supposed to be.

It's supposed to be this hour and the next one, too. Wow. Okay. All right, y'all, so let's get into the latest. So this broke in news that Floyd Mayweather is suing showtime. And he's alleging that he is missing over $300 million. So what he's saying that happened is that he's made a billion. dollars within his career and earnings.

But he's saying he never saw any of it because of what he's alleging to be this big financial fraud scheme that was perpetrated. He alleges by his advisor at the time, Al Heyman, and now he's claiming that Hamon got substantial participation in aid from Showtime and former Showtime

sports president, Stefan Epinoza. So he said... Stephen. I'm sorry. Stephen Epinoza. So Stephen and Showtime are actually listed as defendants. Al Hamon is not being sued, but he's mentioned in the documents. Now, he's saying that, you know, he worked at Al-Hamond for over a decade and that funds were

misappropriated insanely. He says that a significant portion of his career earnings to the tune of, I told you guys, over 300, but it's exactly $340 million went missing. And he's saying that that all happened because of this, whatever this partnership that he's claiming was not right between Showtime and Al-Haman. He says that money to this day is still missing and unaccounted for. And he references some of his. biggest fights, including the Manny Pacquiao

and Connor McGregor, a fight. He's alleging that Showtime in a Stephen delivered money owed to Floyd directly into Hayman's hands by sending accounts essentially controlled, by sending into accounts that were only controlled by Al-Haman. So basically he's saying that the money was going straight to Al-Haman, not to him, not to

anything that he could, like, account for, and money's missing still to this day. So he wants some of his money. So why pretend to be money made with all those years? Like, if you know you wasn't getting all that money? Because one thing made with he used to do was brag about how much he was making for fights. Like, you didn't realize it was missing back

then. He would post checks online. Well, I would say this, we don't know, you know, he still was making money. Yeah, he said a billion dollars. I mean, $340 million is a lot of money, but he's still got some money. But my question is he retired in 2017. We've seen him post $100 million checks after fights. And the fact that he names Manny Pagiafite, Kana McGregor, those fights he claimed to make so much money

off. So I'm just saying, you didn't realize the money was missing back then? You was acting like he was making the money. I'm just asking questions. Could have been backends, could have been other other monies that he was getting. We don't know what, you know, what, how much he made per fight or what he was supposed to do. But my question is, this was nine years ago. He retired in 2017.

Once again, you didn't know the money was missing back then? That's what I'm asking the question. He says in this document that to this day that there's still money, I guess, I don't know when he's recouping on the back end that would have still been coming to his way to this day, but he's saying that there's still money that is missing an unaccounted for in addition to what would have been his then. To this day. So, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, look at this. 2018 Floyd Mayweather shows off $100 million

check from fight with McGregor. I don't know. Maybe he got $100 million. Maybe he was supposed to get $200 million. You know what I mean? Maybe he was supposed to get in the back and something. But that's what I'm saying. He was still getting money.

But from what the lawsuit says, he wasn't getting what he was supposed to get. And that's why now he's suing. And his attorney gave a comment. His attorney said Floyd is one of boxing's biggest pay-per-view draws. He generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for showtime. Mr. Mayweather now takes the fight to the courtroom to recover what is rightfully earned. retiring, undefeated at 50 and O,

Mr. Maybredder will go the distance in the courtroom just as he has in the ring. But is he to want reviewing the contracts? I mean, shouldn't he have a team? He should have had a team. Oh, I'm sure. He got so much business. And sometimes I feel like there's a disconnect there where it's like, once you start uncovering all this stuff, you realize it might not just be an

alleged showtime and Al-Hayman thing. There's like accountants and your team, business managers and financial managers. Or he could get money per views, per eyes, and maybe they had to audit and see how much actually came in because you know, that happens all the time, even in the music industry. You think you make so much money, then

when you do the audit, you realize you owe so much more money that they didn't, you know, a calculation for, or account for us. He definitely got money from the pay-per-views. I'm looking at it again, 2015. Mayweather holds up $100 million check after the pack-yard fight. I'm just wondering. I just want to know, you know, did he not realize the money was

missing way back then? Because he was getting so much. I don't know. Probably did. Well, 50 cent has joined in the conversation about this lawsuit, and he says, oh no, don't cry now, champ. They beat you out of $320 million. It's 340. You dumb A word. I told you to let me read the contracts.

Now, lace up. You got to look good fighting Mike. You got to look good fighting Mike. Then maybe we can get Bud to beat your A word for some big money. Poor Floyd. Yeah, poor Floyd. Speaking of 50 Cento, I know we did the Moses in the black conversation here. And they were having an issue with the theaters and been taken out of some theater.

Charlomime and I saw you post yesterday that you brought out a theater here in New York, right? I did. Tell the people. I mean, yeah. I'm just saying. I'll tell the people for you. I told all my episodes I was going to buy a theater. I want them to know where they can go to

and how they can. It's sold out already. He posted it yesterday. Oh, I didn't see that it was sold out. I just saw that you posted it. I posted it yesterday and told people to RSVP and the RSVP in a matter of seconds. I love the theater.

So we might do another one again next weekend. But I mean, the link is still in my bio. If you go to my Instagram, at C to God, it's still in my bio. if you want to RSVP anyway. And I saw too that 50 cents said that he was working on trying to figure out that situation as well. He said he was fixing the theaters

and they would be back in all of the theater. Yeah, it's going to be at the AMC theater on Saturday at 4 p.m. What AMC theater is it? Yeah, the AMC Empire 25 in New York City. Yeah, but they told me yesterday that the RSVPs were full. Love that. Well, that is the end of the latest. Brought to you guys by Top Dog Law.

So called them for any accident, bigger, small. go to topdog law.com. Shalaman, who are giving that donkey too? Man, four after the hour. Parents, we must be supportive of our kids. But, you know, all support isn't a good support. We'll discuss. All right.

We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Damn, the he-haw, again? It's time for donkey out of day. I'm ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making new people do these days.

I told me, I told me, I told me. I told me, I told me. Damn, show me. Who got the donkey of the day of day. I told you. I'm about to call an audible after what Envy just told me. I told you. I'm still going to do this donkey.

But Envy just told me before we went to break that y'all out here spending $80,000 on jeans? $60,000. I'm looking at it. Like 60,000, 80,000. Yeah, and I'm looking at some for $150,000. There's no way. Yeah, they go out. There's no way.

So I've got $30 jeans right now. Okay? I got some of these ones I got on right now from H&M, actually. But don't get a day for Thursday, February 5th, goes to a 28-year-old named Steve Hamblin. Stephen is from Kentucky and he was arrested because he was being a supportive father. Now, I know you're sitting there saying, why would someone be arrested for being a supportive father? Well, the reality is all support is in good support. Yes, we as parents should always show up for our kids, but how we show up for our kids matters.

Let's go to Fox 19 for the report, please. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This morning, chilling video showing the moment in an argument at a youth basketball game takes an alarming and dangerous turn. Now the man who investigators say was behind that gun is behind bars. So Fox 19 now is Taylor Davis joins us in studio with the latest Taylor. As you just saw, the reaction in the video says it all. Police say the man involved is 28-year-old Stephen Hamlin, a parent of one of the players on a youth basketball team.

According to the incident report, Hamlin and a coach were discussing his child's playing time. That conversation escalated into a verbal argument and then turned physical. Deputies say Hamlin and the coach eventually went their separate ways, but that's when they say Hamlin returned, this time with a handgun, waving it towards seven people standing nearby in this video. Witnesses told deputies they heard him say multiple times that he was going to shoot. This all happened Saturday afternoon at Walton Verona Elementary School. Hamlin was later arrested at his home where he says he allegedly did it to protect his family from two people in the crowd. parents, I can't believe I have to say this morning, but you can't threaten to shoot people

because you are upset about your son's lack of playing time in a youth basketball game. Okay, what if you threaten to shoot, but your child can't? Okay, and being that your child can't shoot is the reason your child isn't getting any minutes in these basketball games. Okay, it is perfectly okay to acknowledge when your child may be trash at something. Yes, encourage them to do their best, get them to help they need to be better. them, okay, because if being a part of the team makes them happy, it should make you happy.

Okay, if they like it, you should love it. But you have to know when your child isn't ready, okay? And just because your child isn't ready, it doesn't give you the license to go threaten the coach, okay? With a firearm. All right, Stephen thought it was shooting around practice, but off the court. All right, when it comes to judgment, certain decisions, you can't run a fast break. Call the time out, take a breva, set up a play. Okay, look, our job as parents is to protect and provide,

your child didn't need protection here from you because it seems like he was getting protection from the coach because the coach knows his team and he knows what's best for his team. Okay, if your son not getting playing time, then that is what is best for the team. And guess what? That's actually the best thing for your son as well because your son is learning how to be a team player and sometimes being a team player is not playing at all. We should normalize coaches telling parents their children suck or just telling their parents you know, the child isn't ready.

The child isn't good. This whole participation trophy era is raising a generation of entitled kids, okay? Playing time is earned, not given. Why do parents act like they don't know when their child isn't good at something? Okay, if that coach doesn't have that child playing is for a reason. And if you go and have a conversation with the coach and the coach tells you the truth, okay, that your child just isn't ready yet or your child may not be that good. You know, we just, you know, bringing them along, you know, hoping that he gets better.

Then guess what you should do? Respect the process. Okay, that's how you raise grateful kids in an entitled world. Please give Stephen Hamblin the biggest he haul. Let's do it. No, and it's the same entitled-ass kids that won $100,000 jeans. Let's do it. What, do you want to play a game?

Yeah, I do want to play a game. Oh, God. Why? We don't got to play a game every day. I know, but people like it and I enjoy it. This is my highlight of the day. All right, let's play a game of guess what? Racine.

Stephen Hamblin. He's from Kentucky. Pulled out a gun on the coach because his son wasn't getting enough playing time. Guess what race he is? You start with me? Go ahead, DJ. All right.

Now, this is a tough one, right? Because at first I was thinking black, right? The reason I was thinking black. Because parents is like, no, I want my son to have more time. My son is nice. My son get busy. Yes, but black parents,

they take it very serious when their kids don't play. All parents take it serious when their kids don't play. But what? Not, they ain't going to do that. Now, they're going to threaten. They ain't going to say, I'm going to go get the pistol. They're going to threaten.

Like what's going on? Right, yeah. Right. And then Kentucky, I'm thinking, I'm going white. Once again, I don't even know why we had to play this game. Steve Hamblin of Kentucky pulled out a gun because his kid wasn't getting enough playing time. Just hilarious. Guess what race he is?

White. What are we doing here? This should have been very obvious. It wasn't. Stephen Hamelin is Caucasian. I do get what you were saying, though, Amy, because when Ash started playing football, Rome, and he wasn't getting in time,

like Rome would come to the games, threaten the coach, try to fight, they ain't never go to the Trump, and never go, you know, yeah, it was a whole thing. Parents will do that. Right, right, right. True. I just thought Kentucky was a dead giveaway.

That's what I said, Kentucky. Kentucky made me take white, man. That's just like the white white white. But it's, okay. All right. There's black people in Kentucky, I'm sure. It is. It is.

I do shows there. Yeah. Come up black people? All right. Thank you for that donkey today, sir. I can't believe people buying $80,000 jeans, man. I could not believe. $10,000.

I went down to wrap the hole yesterday about one guy that bought Drake's Chromeheart jeans. It was selling it for $100,000. A hundred thousand dollars for people. Why? I don't know. Yeah. There's no need to have one of a pair of $80,000 jeans, $150,000 jeans. Are y'all out your goddamn line?

And it's not like it's a burkin where you can, getting money for it. I come from the area where people was robbing folks for these sneakers. Right. Why don't we see a bunch of people walking around here like Winnie the Pooh

if people out here with a hundred thousand dollars? A hundred thousand dollars. The chrome heart jeans, they range from anywhere from $40,000 to $160,000. For a pair of jeans. Why are people not walking around here and their drawers when they leave in the club?

Or often then. Because that's where the fight is. If I got a $100,000 pair of gin, you spill some alcohol in my jeans, I got to fight you. Yeah. I'm looking at it right now. One of these jeans costs $175,450,

chrome hearts. Maddie Boy Sex. What is Maddie Boy Sex? It's a collection. They got different ones. Why is it called Maddie Boy Sex? I don't know. You want those jeans.

That's not like a zipper in the back. They're in the club having sex in Chrome Heart Maddie Boy jeans. Easy Excess. Easy Excess. Yeah. A Jamaica is going to mess that up. I can see it right now. Jamaicans try to say Maddie Boy three times a few comes out.

All right. Well, we come back. Just Fix My Mess. 800585105.105.1 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Tell us. It's the real deal. Help me.

Help me. Oh, my God. I'm all up in your mess. I'm going to fix it. Fix it. Fix my mess. Just going to fix your mess because my advice is real. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilary. Sholamey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Just Fix My Mess. Yes. Hello, who's this? Hey, this Shantel from Columbia, South Carolina. Hey, what's up?

Hey, there, girl. How are you? Hi, Jess, I love you. And, I'm here, Charlemagne. What's good? Love you, too. You love you, girl. What's your question for Jess?

Okay, so, isn't it the usual co-parenting situation? Because I must think of my four kids, three baby daddy's. I already got it through my head that do have a choice of taking care of kids or not. Yeah. So, okay, now I'm with my family. you know, sometimes I live in my own place. Sometimes I'm all short, I have to move back in with my grandma and my mom.

So when I go back home, I'm having an issue kind of co-parent with my village. I understand I have to respect my mom and my grandma because they raise me and they know more than I do. But when it comes to my kids, these are my kids. So if I tell my daughter no, then she run to my mama or my grandma and they say, yeah, I'm living.

looking like what the world, do I not matter? Do my discipline not matter? I'm just getting looked up. That's a good question, Jess. Because you're in my house. Right. Right. Yeah, but these my kids, though.

But these my kids, I carried them for nine much. I'm trying to raise them, you know what I'm saying? But they always say that their way is better because they older than me. They know me. But I don't want to raise my kids like how I was raised. Like, my mom was kind of strict. So I'm kind of more lenient. Like, I don't really whip my kids and that.

But I know when I was coming up, my mama, when she got mad or I did something wrong, she throw shoes at me or whatever. But she's not doing that to my kids. Yeah, you know, it's different. It's different. When I was younger, it was the same way. I ain't ever get no damn shoe thrown at me. But, you know, my parents, they weren't that abusive. But no, my dad never ever laid a finger on me.

And my mom, it was a certain sternness in her voice that would just make me, like, get my act together real quick. Like, I was straightened up and get it together. but it was a different level of discipline when I was younger as opposed to now. My mom let my daughter run wild. Even when I had my son, he's 13 now, but when he was a baby, my mother let him get away with things that I could have never gotten away with as a kid. So, all right, so that's one thing there.

Okay, but you're saying she's more lenient. Your mom and your grandmother are more lenient with your babies. Yeah, well, all four of them. Like, well, I only got it five months, but even with my two-year-old, like, he wanted to eat ice cream all day. And I say no. They'll give it to him. So I'm trying to figure out how I can cope him better with my village

without being disrespectful to my grandma and my mama. Right. So it is no way that you can do that. Especially if they're not receptive to just casual conversation, to you just a directive. If they don't take you serious and they can't respect you as a mother, then, yes, there's no way that you can say it without force. You know what I'm saying?

There's no way. You know, now listen, real quick, you live with them or they live with you. I live with them. Like, it's my mama house. My grandma, she's older. So, you know, when you get older, you move back in with your kids so they can help take care of you, whatever. But I have fallen, I got laid off my job and I got four kids. So I'm in the process of trying to find a new job so I can get back on my feet again.

So now I live with them with my kids. Have you ever tried to just sit down and talk to them, though? Have you ever tried to just sit at mom and grandma? I love y'all to death. Yes, I do. But these are my kids. and I want my kids to be raised a certain way, like how I want to raise them.

I don't want to tell them what you just told me. I don't want to raise my kids the way y'all raised me, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but it said we're living in different times now. We're living in different days. I want an end, because this is what they're going to try to throw at you. I know, and I know they are because you said they used to throw shoes and shit at you. Listen, I know they're going to come at you with this.

Well, if the father was in the goddamn life, then we wouldn't have to take care of your four children. They're going to say that. I mean, they are, but I mean, my baby.

Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people would die. 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest.

Hello who's this Mariah Mariah Mariah What's your question For Jess Good morning Good morning

Jeff Good morning Good morning BVV My question for Jess is how do I co-parent with the father of my child without coming off mean or rude when he wants to have small talk

when it's not about our child? Hmm. Okay. You still want them cheeks. Yeah, yeah. So what is the small talk consist of? Like, what is it? Because small talk ain't that bad

unless y'all really don't like each other. It's not that I don't like him, but it's like let's stick to the program. Like the program is us co-parenting and do the best we can. child. You just want to strictly co-parent.

You don't want no small talk. You don't even want him to say, oh, you look nice today. Or you didn't even want to say,

you don't want him to say, how's your mother? You don't want him to say nothing like that. It's just, I don't want him to say, I don't say none of that,

just it annoys me so bad. Hmm. What did he do? And it's like, he didn't do nothing. It was just like, like, I don't know.

I just don't, I don't have time. I don't care for the small talk. I don't have time and I don't care for it. I got you, I got you. But it's something you ain't telling me. You said he ain't do nothing, but this man, oh, my God.

Was he a one-night stand that ended up? Okay. I remember saying he had one-night stand, but I liked him. We like each other. When I end up getting pregnant, I got pregnant in kind of a tough time. My grandmother was, like, on the verge of passing away. Okay. She ended up passing away while I was pregnant.

I'm sorry about that. Long story short, he didn't stick around. Like, he didn't, like, like the pregnancy just was like not I just I don't know your pregnancy had a bad experience with pregnancy you didn't feel all the butterflies yeah because like I felt like he wasn't there

yeah yeah you didn't have anybody to go through that way right turn out he got somebody pregnant in two months before he got me second okay okay so he's just like yeah I don't I get it so that's why I say

you can't be telling me he ain't do nothing and yes, you are still hurt from... How old is the baby? She's one year old. She's time one on January 27th. Oh, little sticky booty, smooty booty. Okay, yes. Wow.

Have you belated birthday, little mama? But, yeah, so that's what it was. I knew you was lying, girl. You don't want to talk to that man because that man did not talk to you. It's not that. I'm lying. I'm just saying, like, I don't care for the kid. Like, he'll be like, yeah, I'm doing good, though.

I'm doing good. And I'd be like, well, I was like, are you? Am I supposed to ask you? how are you doing? He was like, I mean, it would be nice, but I'm like... And then what you want to say is, it would have been nice if you were with me for that nine months. I carried your daughter, but you weren't.

And I needed you. Not only was I pregnant with your child, because I can't get pregnant by myself, I was losing my grandmother, who ended up passing away while I was pregnant. So I was very hormonal. I was stressed out. I was depressed.

I was sad. And my pregnancy was not happy at all. my pregnancy was not easy at all, right? I told him that, though. Like, I let him know, like, I didn't, my, my pregnancy was not what I expected it to be. It's nothing like I wanted it to be. Yeah. And what did he say when you told him that?

He didn't say nothing. Not even an apology, not even trying to, you know, because he can't turn back the hands of time. You know, you can't go backward, but only thing you can do is show different actions going forward and show that, like, he needs to take accountability. He hasn't taken accountability, is what you're saying? He'll say, like, I understand.

He's trying to do better. That's what he's saying. I'm trying to be better. You're just still hurt from that. You're just still hurt from that. It's just like, I just want my child to, I grew up without a father. Yeah. So I don't want her to put that void that I grew up feeling.

Yeah. So it's like, I'm done with the whole little letterfly thing, and it's over. Like, that's been over. Like, when I add her. And I was in, like, when I was pregnant, almost by myself the whole nine months, and I had her, and I was left in the hospital by myself for those three days. Yes. Oh, my God.

You were even in the hospital by yourself the whole three days when you, so he didn't come. I mean, he came that first day, yeah, he came that first day when I had her and stuff, but he didn't stay. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, it's, I get it. It's, you're still holding on to that. And it's not, it hasn't even been that long ago. Your baby, y'all baby just turned one. So I totally do understand it

It's nothing wrong with keeping it short Because you can't control with him You can't control him trying to keep having Small talk you can only control yourself Do not respond unless it's only about the child But you can't make him Only speak to you about your baby girl That's what it is. You just have to be

On your big ignore game You gotta, I say you gotta act like you don't see Those sex messages you can't block him Because he still is an active father, am I right? Mm-hmm Yeah, so that's all he needs to be That's all he needs to be for you. Just don't respond unless it's about your child.

And hopefully you're able to let that hurt go later. You know what I'm saying? Because it is still very recent. It is very recent. And I would be crazy to tell you to get over that right now. You can't do that. And that's hurt. You lost your people too.

So yeah, just still allow for him to being your daughter's life, being your daughter's life, be a good dad. But you don't have to. respond to anything else that he says, even if he calls you, you don't have to respond to anything else unless it is about your child. And that's it. Don't even, don't act like the time I don't. It's just like, I'm trying not to come off me or rude. So I'm like, I'm like, dang, if he not getting it that I literally just want to, I just want to be cordial enough for us to. But that's the thing. You don't have to be rude about it. You don't have to be rude. You can just say respectfully, we're not going there. Yep.

So for baby Angelica, I mean, I know it's not your daughter name, but, you know, just for baby Angelica, like, just let's just keep it here. The name is Amaya. Amaya. For Amaya, yes, we can talk about Amaya, all things Amaya. But respectfully, I have nothing else to say. Thank you. Enjoy your day. It's nothing wrong with just being straight to the point. Boom.

He'll get it. He'll eventually fall off of that. And if you don't, that's on him, you know? Right. It's okay. You can only control you, Boo. It's all right. You're right.

Yeah. I commend you. No problem. No problem, baby. I commend her for being strong. That's a lot. All right. Just fix my mess. 800585-105-1. Once again, don't forget, make sure you pre-order Jess's a new book.

So Def Dewey Parent comes out, April 28th. You can pre-order right now. And when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight back. Tell her, she gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having a little bit.

the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have detail, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

What we got, Top Dog Lo? Hey. Hey, so this is literally breaking right now. So, Kid of Kid and Play, Christopher Reed, just revealed that he had actually had to have a heart transplant after finding out that he was experiencing heart failure. So he just broke this news with Michael Strahan on Good Morning. America. Let's take a listen to a kid talk about his diagnosis. This past July, Reed's symptoms began to intensify, pushing him to go to the emergency room for answers. It was there that doctors

gave him a surprising diagnosis. The doctors tell you you have congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure. That's correct. But when you hear that, congestive heart failure. Yeah, that's what about that one. Are you thinking? Not me. Exactly. Initially, Reed was treated with medication, but at his three-week follow-up appointment, his cardiologist grew more concerned. He came in very swollen again, and that is a little unusual in somebody who's been started on treatment for the swelling to come back that quickly. That evening, Reed had planned to fly across the country for performance. His doctor urging him not to go ran additional blood work. The blood work confirmed my suspicion. It showed that his heart was failing, and it was starting to

affect his other organs. So he's had heart attacks before, must be. He says that, so according to him, the only symptoms or anything prior to this was he was really fatigued, and he had shortness of breath, so he ended up going to the emergency room in July, which they mentioned.

But he says that he was just chalking that up to old age. But he would, you know, the greatest thing is he was up here after that then, because if that was July, he came up here. Oh, yeah. It was their last year. The end of last year. And it's wow. We were having, That's why you gotta have a good cardiologist

dropping the clothes buns with Dr. Puma, man. But I seen it when he was walking and he was moving around. Moving slower. I understand now. Yeah. Because then we had a conversation, though. And his girlfriend or his wife was helping him around and we was like, yeah. I just thought it was old age.

Yeah, you didn't think it was congestive heart failure. You didn't look at him and be like, oh, he's got congestive heart failure. No, but I knew it was something was all, you know. How old is he? Is he not that old? Yeah, yeah. 50s or early 60s, maybe? Yeah.

Well, he also. Sixty one. Yeah. Well, he talked. Talks about the heart transplant process as well because he had to go through it. But it happened kind of quickly. So he had to kind of get his mental together to be able to go through it. Let's take a listen to him on the transplant.

They went straight to. Let's get a heart. So I got evaluated physically. I got evaluated mentally. And also, too, I wanted to let them know at the same time. Like, hey, I am worthy of this. You know, if I do get this gift, you know, I intend to respect it and really kind of really live life to the fullest.

It's unusual for a patient to be so sick and to be so warm to the people around them. The way he handled it externally was incredibly calm. Just nine days later, Reed received the call he'd been waiting for. So they're saying, hey, yeah, we got the heart, and we want to put it in tomorrow night at 10 p.m. And we're like, we're like, excuse me. You're like, but that's how it is.

So the next night, 10 p.m., we go in, And about seven hours later, I have a new heart. How do you feel? I feel great. God bless, kid, man. Not as good, man. And what you're hearing, he has actual video footage because he was documented in the process. So you get to see him actually in the hospital and work with the doctors and after the surgery as well.

So you heard part of that at the end, the conversation with him and the actual doctor. I got to watch the whole interview. But did he talk about like any of the causes to congestive heart failure? Because I thought that you get congestive heart failure when you got like coronary artery disease or you've had a heart attack. like that's what I thought it was things that lead up to the actual congestive heart failure. Yeah, I was curious too. I think that so yes, obviously there are things that lead up to it. We were literally cutting this, yeah, live as it was happening.

The next part that I have is how it's affected him now. But I do know in this article I was reading, they talk about how about 6.7 million adults age 20 or older get heart failure. And this condition happens when the heart cannot pump enough blood or action to support your organs in your body. But it happens for different reasons for different people depending on internal organs. And that's another thing too. His heart failure was almost bleep like happening or going into his other organs when they called it. It was at a very sensitive stage. But let's take a listen to where he is now, how it's affecting him now.

Have this changed you? And if so, how had it changed you? I hope that I'm the same person, but then I'm a better version of myself. Because man, this thing is, this is a beautiful life. It's great. And I want to be around for it. Thank you so much. Thank you, right.

And with his second chance at life, Reed hopes to aspire others to put their health first. A lot of people walking around with heart disease because they don't go to the doctor. And, you know, traditionally, people of color, we don't go. We don't go for a lot of reasons. Sometimes we don't go because we don't have insurance.

A lot of times we don't go because we don't want the bad news. Or we're too busy just hustling, trying to make it from day to day, and we feel like we don't got time or we'll get over it. Well, you might not. So I'm urging all of my fans, all of y'all loved ones to get it checked out. You're right about that.

I think a lot of people ignore symptoms, but I think having you here talking about it, someone who everyone knows who we grew up with, it really is an eye-opener. It's worth it. Get yourself checked out. Yeah, I know that. And you can't help your family if you're not around. Yeah. Plain and simple.

Salute to Dr. Puma. I'm coming to see you next week. I told you to come. I told you two weeks ago after I got my snoom. I'm going for the full body. I got the full body two years ago, baby. Salute to Dr. Puma, man. So our in medical, go get your heart checked.

Dr. Puma, good morning. I'm definitely coming to see you. But you know, my question is, I wonder how that works. Because, you know, there's a lot of people on the list to get a heart, you know? Like, we know comedian Rick Michaels, I feel like he's been on that list for like six years.

So it's just a blessing that that heart or the blood type matches where they can do it. Because I know, like, people have been on these lists for a long time waiting. Yeah, and I want to clarify. So Eddie R. producer went back and watched the interview in full because I know I didn't hear it. But so he doesn't say that there were any sign of heart attack or anything prior to.

It was just the fatigue and shortness of breath that made him go to the hospital after being pushed to. But again, he was just thinking old age. You can't just chalk that up to old age. You really got to pay attention

to your body. Like, you know, any little sign of anything. Take your ass to the doctor and just see what the hell is happening. Even if it ain't fatiguing, just showing some breath. Yes. Just still go and see.

Well, that's the end of the latest. I do want to mention just really quickly, too, that C- Murder, who is the younger brother of Master P, he had an appeal that he was putting in most recently, he's been, you know, serving life behind bars for a shooting where someone was killed some years ago, and that appeal was denied. And from the reporting on the documents,

it stated here that his appeal, this last one was the final one that he exhausted the appeal options. Now, I reached out to attorney Ben Crump trying to understand how do you exhaust, like, what does the legal system do for you after that? And he's, you know, saying that there are multiple appeals that you can put in, and C- Murder has done a bunch of them since, I think, 2011. He's been fighting this for about 15 years. So they're saying don't ask us no more, can you come on? That's crazy. I didn't know that. I didn't know you could exhaust your appeals. I didn't know either. And I am, I do have a phone call scheduled later with a C-Murders team,

but seven judges voted against rehearing this case saying that he had already used up his appeal. So I'm going to learn more about what that means and what that means for him. And we'll talk about it here on the Breakfast Club and on the podcast, the latest with Lauren La Rosa. And I, of course, got to wrap this up with mentioning that Top Dog Law. You can call them for any accident, bigger, small. go to topdog law.com. They're a sponsoring this segment. I bet you're going to be on the phone

and see murder people talk about. Maybe you can call Top Dog Law. I would have. And they're going to hang right up in the eyes. I am not. All right. You think I'm a joke. Now when we come back,

we got the people's choice mix. Don't move. It's the breakfast club. First of all, morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Hilaria. Sholomey and the guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Now we have to salute to Kelly Rowland Method Man and Devon Franklin for joining us this morning. That's right. New movie Relationship Goals is out on Prime video right now. It's funny when Devon was up here talking about how big of the stars,

you know, Mephyman and Kelly are. When you watch them on screen, they really do just pop out. They pop out on screen. Yep. It's fire. So, Salu, definitely go check it out. Like you said, it's on Prime Video now. And Shalom, man, it's Black History Month.

Yes, it is, man. It's salute to my guy B.D. You know, every day during Black History Month, B.D. does a podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network called I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. Well, he gives you some black history facts that you may not have known. And today he's going to tell you about the woman.

who integrated NASA accidentally. The woman who integrated NASA accidentally. I didn't know. Welcome back, No. at all, to another episode of the most anticipated podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network, especially in February. Entitled, I didn't know.

Maybe you didn't either. I'm your host, BDOT. And I do the football PA announcing for Winston-Salem State, my alma mater, and for Fam U. So go Rams and go rap. We'll kick off today's episode as we do every episode with three of the most useless facts you'll never need, not a day in life. Up first, John Glenn, a white man, the first American to orbit Earth.

He refused to fly until a black woman checked the computer's math by hand. Your second useless fact, that same black woman calculated the trajectory for Apollo 11's moon landing, the flight path to the moon, without a computer. And your third useless fact when Apollo 13 nearly killed. three astronauts, that same black woman's backup calculations, brought them back home alive. Now would you like to meet such a phenomenal woman? Do you know what her name is? Because I didn't. So dig it, when people talk about NASA desegregating, they love to make it sound clean.

Like they had a memo and had a meeting. Somebody stood up and said, today we choose equality. That's not how it happened. NASA's integration was messy, quiet and unconstitutional. unintentional. I introduced to you, Catherine Johnson. She were born in 1918 in White Sofer Springs, West Virginia. And she was so good at math that she started high school at 10 years old. This story made me look at my 13-year-old daughter and shake my head.

Problem was her county didn't offer public school for black children past eighth grade. So her pop moved the entire family 125 miles so that baby could go to school. She graduated college at 18. summa cum laude with degrees in mathematics and French. That made me look at my 19-year-old freshman at Livingstone College and shake my head. Later, Catherine would become one of three students and the only woman that was chosen to desegregate West Virginia University's graduate program. In 1953, she heard that NACA, which was the precursor to NASA,

was hiring black women as computers. You applied and got the job. But here's the thing. She was hired to be invisible. See, black women worked in the segregated West Area Computing section. Separate bathrooms, separate cafeteria, separate office. They were even called colored computers. And Catherine Johnson decided, you know what, that wasn't going to work for her.

She started asking questions and meetings where women wasn't even allowed. When somebody told her, excuse me, women can't attend briefings. She responded, is there a law against it? Well, there wasn't. So she walked in anyway. In 1960, she became the first woman to receive credit as an author on a research report at NASA. Unheard of. But the moment that changed everything came two years later in 1962.

See, NASA was preparing to send John Glenn in the orbit, the first America in the circle to Earth. They had these brand new fancy IBM computers. Those was calculating his trajectory. But Glenn didn't trust them IBM computers. They were new. They had glitches. they froze. So Glenn made a request, get the color computer to check

the numbers, and he was talking specifically about Catherine Johnson. He wanted her to run the same calculations as the IBM, but by hand on a desktop calculator. And she did it. And that's when Glenn said, if she says they're good, then I'm ready to go. Let that sink

in. The astronaut who became a national hero trusted a black woman in the segregated South more than he trusted a million dollar computer. Glenn flew. He orbited and he came home safe. And Catherine Johnson, she kept calculating. She calculated the trajectory for Apollo 11.

She told them where to send a rocket so it would land on the moon. In 1970, when Apollo 13's oxygen tank exploded and three astronauts were stranded in space, her backup procedures and return path calculations helped bring them right on home, alive.
