And it's just good to watch people from different cultures, Dominican, Jamaican, just raising beautiful children together. Because Chris already started reading Envy's book.

I'm not doing it. You'll read Envy's, but you ain't gonna read Charlamagne's. Well it's more related. No it's not. That's what I felt. I was like, oh okay, I get it. Because he's Mexican. Latino. Envy's, Dominican, yeah I get felt. I was like, oh okay I get it. He's Mexican,

Latino. And he's Dominican. Yeah I get it. I'm not Dominican, I'm black. And it's a good guide to read because you know you black Jess and Chris is Dominican so you know y'all gotta figure it out. Oh my goodness. Like how do you know. A splendid mixed relationship thing. Why are you feeling Jess? Yesterday was your son's birthday. What did you do for your son's birthday? I'm officially the mom of a teenager. So that 13, the teen on the end of the age means a lot, yo. Ashton, he had, you know, he's homeschooled now, so he hasn't been able to get around his friends that he hasn't seen in over a year. And yo, he felt so good seeing him there.

We surprised him and took him to this place called Zava Zone, because he wanted to go to Sky Zone, but Sky Zone stinks and I'm getting pretty tired of this place. So Zava Zone is another, it's kind of like it's a trampoline park but they do zip lining, they do rock climbing. You ever see the, not X Games but you know when them little Asian kids be winning them competitions. The Ninja Games you're talking about. The Ninja Games, yes.

They had like Ninja Games and all that type of stuff. So he spent like almost all day there and then he loved steak so we took him to a steak house, him and his friends and now they upstairs in my house brought some kids back with me. That's good. It's pretty quiet down with them kids. It's pretty quiet because I figure right now they be playing all types of games right now. Well they just went to sleep at 5. I figured that, yeah that sounds about right.

So they went to sleep at a good time because now y'all would hear them right now. All right, well let's get the show crackin'. We got front page news. Today is Jackie Robinson Day, did you know that? Who's Jackie Robinson? Jackie or Jackie? I said Jackie Robinson. No, you said Jocky. No, you said Jocky Robinson.

Who the hell is Jackie Robinson? Jackie Robinson Day, we'll break it down when we come back. Well, you're damn Dominican. It's the way, I'm not Dominican. Yes, I'm Jackie Robinson. If you can't pronounce Jackie Robinson, you ain't black. I said Jackie Robinson. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ N.V. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now last night was the WNBA draft. It took place at the shed at Hudson Yards in New York City.

And the number one pick was the Dallas Wings pick Paige Bukas from UConn. Paige Buckets! Drop on the Clues bonds with Paige Buckets. So congratulations to her. What's up Morgan? Yeah that's Paige Becker. Shout out to her. She definitely is, you know, a vibe and you should definitely get into her story because

she is an advocate for our people. Okay? Please tell me what her last name is because all three of y'all said it wrong. He said Beek- Buckers. It's Becker. Buckers. Oh, Buckets is our people. Okay, tell me what her last name is cuz all three of y'all said it wrong. He's It's backers Buckets is our nickname page bucket She definitely do that. She definitely do that name is what? So first up on front page, yeah, let's get into a little bit of more sports

Major League Baseball is honoring the legacy of Jackie Robinson. Today is Jackie Robinson Day, marking the anniversary of the day that he broke baseball's color barrier. Now Robinson debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15th, 1947. Look, not that long ago, y'all. To honor the Hall of Famer,

all players will wear his iconic number 42 in Dodger blue. Players, managers, coaches, and umpires will also wear a special 42 patch on the side of their baseball caps. MLB established Jackie Robinson day in 2004. So shout out to Jackie Robinson. Don't tell Trump is Jackie Robinson. He might ask why and then sign an executive order that no colors can be recognized.

That's right. Oh no. Look, Charlemagne speaking of Trump, you was right. Okay. So despite saying he will respect the Supreme Court's decision, President Trump and the White House is defending its decision to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man from Maryland mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador. Now speaking from the Oval Office yesterday with the president of El Salvador, Trump again

said the courts do not dictate American foreign policy. This comes as Trump met with El Salvador's president, Naib Bukele, at the White House yesterday and said, and Bukele also said he would not return Abrigo Garcia, adding that they're not too fond of releasing terrorists and that he's not going to smuggle someone back into the U.S. Now, during their meeting at the White House, President Trump spoke more about securing the border and their current relationship between the US and El Salvador. Let's take a listen.

What they've done to us at the border should never and can never be forgotten. It's a sin what they did. And you are helping us out. So Boo Kelly was, he said he was also honored to be with Trump adding that what is happening at the US border in terms of stopping illegal immigration is remarkable. But let's not forget the DOJ has admitted that Abrego Garcia was not supposed to be sent to El Salvador because of an immigration judge's 2019 order barring him from being sent there. Now, Attorney General Pam Bondi said there's evidence that the man is a gang member and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen

Miller said that the administration or it's not the administration's job to get him back to the US. Let's take a listen to their comments. He was illegally in our country. He had been illegally in our country. And in 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court ruled that he was a member of MS-13 and he was illegally in our country. It's very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point. Is this true? I mean I don't know. I'm not, is any of that true? Yeah, this is, this is, this is, well this is where we are right now, you know,

as updates come every day, but as for Abrego Garcia moving forward, it's my understanding that right now, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen has requested a meeting with Boo Kelly to continue efforts to release and return him back to the United States. But as of right now, it seems like we are stalled in regards to what's happening. But was he illegally in the country? Was he a member of MS-13? I don't know. They have not furnished proof that he is actually a member of MS-13. Now he is a national of El Salvador.

He is an El Salvadoran citizen but he did have a right to be here. A judge ruled that he had a right to be in the United States based on the conditions of what's happening in El Salvador. So, yeah. And so the Supreme Court told the administration to bring him back and the administration said, SMD, kiss my ass. Pretty much.

Pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. I hope you all know we are in a post-constitutional society, and if we're in a world where a president can defy the Supreme Court, then there are no checks and balances in democracy as we know it is done. Yeah well there you have it. That's your front page news for 6 a.m. 7 a.m. we're going to start with taxes. Make sure y'all file your taxes. It's tax day all right.

What's up, Envy? This is Front Page O. How y'all doing? Front Page, what up? Get it off your chest, brother. Hey, Jess, the first time talking to you. What's up, Jess? What's up, baby? How you doing?

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. Charlamagne and Garth was good, homie. Peace King, how you doing, Black man? I'm good, brother. Hey, first off, real quick, I was just wanting to talk about that deportation thing. Y'all make it a one-sided. It's not that the U.S. didn't okay the boy to come back. They okayed him to come back. El Salvador, that dude that was with the president, he said he's not releasing him. He was like, if there was any indication that he was in a gang or whatever the case, he was like, I'm not going to let him potentially let him back out in the streets and send him back to the US. It was like disrespectful for him. He was like, he ain't even thinking

about letting him out. So it's not on us. We were supposed to provide him with a plane the same way we shift his ass over there to bring him back. And that could be done. But that El Salvadorian president, prime minister, he's like, nah, he ain't even letting, he ain't even been entertaining the idea. So I don't know where the fight goes from there. That is, that is, that is true, but you're lying. Donald Trump absolutely positively said no. Like yesterday, the guy from El Salvador said that too, but Donald

Trump actually said no as well. What are you talking about? Yeah. He said no, like he's not providing, he's not sending a plane to bring his bring his ass back like the court granted it, bring them back. All right, back, do it how you do it. But El Salvadorian, he ain't having it. He's like, nah, it ain't even going to happen.

That's it. But you're not telling the story correctly, sir. Like you're telling half of the truth, but I don't understand why. Like Trump literally gave the Supreme Court. Well, you need to read again. Trump literally gave the Supreme Court his middle finger. He's defying the Supreme Court. And then one more thing. And then with the politics and all that, man, I just want the people to know, this is big business, man. This ain't for us, man. We just sit back and watch and just let this thing happen.

Because again, our ancestors gave these people power and they sit it on us all over. So it's not even our story. Let this thing happen. And then, you know, I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie.

I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. We just sit back and watch and just let this thing happen because again, our ancestors gave these people power and they sit on us all over.

So it's not even our story. Let this thing play out and everybody just do what we need to do for us. That's what we need to focus on, us. And that's all I want to say. Now that I agree with. All right, political pundit, front page. Thank you, brother. You got it, my brother Steve. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. Yes. So Blue Origin sent Gayle King and Katy Perry and all the girls to space.

Yes. And we thought it was all good. They made it back home. They were safe. But baby, there's some people upset. A lot of people upset. And I didn't know it was such an issue. Set over what?

Them going to space. It's a whole thing. I ain't never seen the girls fight like this. No, no, they pissed off about it. Yes. Talking about the amount of money that they spent and messing up the environment. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't get it, yes. You gonna say the names of people that are upset? Yes, you got Olivia.

No, hey, hey, we'll do it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell her, tell her!

She gets into somebody that knows somebody. Well, she gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on you. Say I'm the biggest. The latest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything.

But what's the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right. So yesterday we talked about Gayle King, Katy Perry. There's a ton of women that went up in space yesterday. Gayle King, Aisha Bo, Amanda Nguyen, Gayle, sorry, sorry, Gayle King already. Carrie Anne Flynn and Lauren Sanchez went up to space.

Now they were there for the total. It all was about 11 minutes. They went up, they circulated for a bit. There's videos of them. You see them like floating and allegedly Katy Perry sung while she was in air and they come back down and they hit the ground. So when they hit the ground, we're seeing them, you know, get out of the shuttle and everything's like, yay, go, y'all did it. And then all of a sudden online, the people, not even for after during it, the people just started getting so upset.

When are they not upset online about something? Y'all now, and y'all know I'll be on Twitter and I'll be seeing the upset and I'll be like, okay, I guess this, I was like, there's so much more to be upset about. And their issue was there's so much more we could be spending time and resources on. So model Emily Radikowski was one of the people she got online and she posted a video. Let's take a listen. That space mission this morning, that's end time. Like this is beyond parody thing that you care about mother earth and it's about mother earth and you're going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's

single-handedly destroying the planet. Get the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what? For what was the marketing there? And then to try to make it like I'm disgusted literally. I'm disgusted. Yeah.

And that was a lot of people sentiment. I know I saw Olivia Munn. A lot of people sentiment? a lot of people sentiment. I know I saw Olivia Munn a lot of people sentiment a lot of people sentiment. I saw Olivia Munn on Jen and friends yesterday. And she said the same thing like it's disgusting. They're wasting resources. They're destroying our earth. This should not be with like, go women is about and I'm like, oh my god, we've got whose resources though. They're talking about I guess like just because it wasn't a government funded project. I think that they're talking about the I don't know

Bro, they you know, I mean they may they upset they pray need some bread It's like yo with like it was just stupid for people to get upset I the interesting thing that I saw Wendy's had something to say Yes, the restaurant Wendy's Katy Perry. They was like Katy Perry returns back from space Wendy's going something to say. Yo, yes. Wendy's, yes. The rest of all, Wendy's, Katy Perry, they was like, Katy Perry returns back from space. Wendy's going to send her ass back. Well, they didn't say send her ass back, but they said send her back up there. Yes. Yeah, but it wasn't publicly funded from what I read.

It wasn't a commercial mission. It wasn't paid by taxpayer dollars. So what's the issue? I thought, I actually thought Jeff Bezos paid for it. That's what I thought because Beyonce was on the plane. Yeah, I don't know who pays for it and how that works but I also did read too because people were so upset I wanted to know how like is it really destroying it as far as like the pollution and stuff like that and they said today all of this stuff is sustainable that he's been using. I don't know y'all but those are the same people that are mad

at celebrities when they fly private. When you know they'll be mad at Taylor Swift, they'll be mad at celebrities for flying private. It messes up the community, messes up the world, and all that other stuff. But I mean, like you said, Charlamagne, if they paid it out their own pocket. I mean, that's from what I read. From what I read, the government didn't fund

that trip to space. It was actually curated by Jeff Bezos' fiance, and it wasn't publicly funded. So I don't know, whose resources are they talking about? Jeff Bezos wanna spend his own money on stuff like that? For commercial space. So I don't know what whose resources are they talking about? Jeff Bezos want to spend his own money on stuff like that? I don't for commercial tour space tourism, I don't care. Yeah, it says that the NS 31 which was their flight was paid for by individuals on board as well as Blue Origin itself. Why the exact amount paid by each individual was not publicly disclosed. Normally when people bid for these seats the highest bid can go for 28 million dollars but it's not disclosed how much they paid. The company also requires a refundable

deposit of 150 thousand dollars but their process is not disclosed. And Blue Origin has received government contracts before but when it comes to their commercial space tourism it's separate from that. Correct. So this isn't publicly funded. And y'all know this is our girl. I saw the first person I saw actually on my timeline this morning was a Senator Nina from Senator Nina Turner. She said just if Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt free health care. Now I agree with that started that started a huge thread of conversation online as well. But funny enough, you know, when Gail went up in this space, I saw the

video of her when she was walking down, yeah, bell, people was like, Oh, Gail was regretting this. So she looked real good. She fine dropping the clues bombs with Gail King. Yeah. So Oprah was there to send her off and they gave each other a hug. This is the photo of her looking a little bit nervous. She said she looked nervous. She said she was a bit nervous, but let's take a listen to her response to her going viral yesterday. Hearing I've become a meme because of my facial expressions when I was walking on the bridge to get on the capsule.

I didn't realize that I was being photographed at that moment, nor did I realize that my expression looked so terrifying, but I was, I was. I just thought I'm just gonna go in and get in my seat and I'm gonna do this I knew I was always gonna do it although they were told that if you're going to back out you have to do so before two minutes and 30 seconds you have to say I'm not going to fly well I knew I wasn't gonna be that guy but getting on it was a little scary it was a little scary so the meat show that I was apprehensive.

I tell you, look at the picture when I got off the capsule. That's the one that matters. That's the victory speech. That's the one that matters. I'm so glad to be back on earth. Welcome home, that's a new meaning. When she got off, she was face down ass up. Oh my God.

I know, you still be. You were though. Yes, but it's just crazy for you to say about Gail King. But she was. That was a good time. Yeah, right. That's the lady who just said, uh-uh, last week. Like, what we talking about?

What she said just. That entry. So when she got off the flight, Gail, like everybody else, they were kissing the ground. They were doing a ton of stuff. She had a dirt in her hands. She grabbed the dirt in her hands. She, you know, I think this is almost like a. I thought she was doing a celebratory twerk. Just because I saw in her hands. I think this is almost like a...

I thought she was doing a celebratory twerk. Just because I saw the still picture. Stop it man. I didn't see it. It was no video. Nah, she was just happy. Nah, Gail came off the spaceship and did a celebratory twerk. Drop on the clues, Bonzo and Gail King.

Go ahead Gail. And I don't think there's many people that wouldn't have this type of face when they're going into space. I don't think there's anybody that... Nah, you have this face because you're scared. You're scared. And you're thinking about, did I poop? Did I pee? Did I make sure I leave everything for my family? Yes, you have this face. Or what I would be thinking about is how it took eight or nine months to bring two people that got stuck up. Hey kids, it's me, Kevin Smith. And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith. That's my daughter, man,

I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State

Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport that included Clay Thompson and Draymond Green, to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny 6'2

Hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Russmorph or guys in large part because of a scrawny 6'2 hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's Dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dubb Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app,

Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. Had spent 24 of those years in jail. 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight.

He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show. Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife through my stomach, puncture my skin, break my ribs. I had my guts all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started.

Roger's saying this, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one, Roger.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows

with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god damnest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it.

I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, to leaving everything to your family. That's what you thinking. I feel like what else would you be thinking? Yes, that's what you thinking. I went skydiving and I thought the same thing. I had this same face on. Did I leave everything for my kids? Did I write everything right? Did I pee? Did I poop? Yes! Cause you nervous as ish. Well if you're gonna die it don't matter if you pee to poop.

Right, right. That's the point. No because if you have to go to the bathroom on your way up there is no- But if you're planning on dying what's the point? No it's not just about dying. If you're in a rocket ship going to space There is no bathroom. So you gotta just hold that playing on that. I'm not playing on that just in case Why would everything there is no bathroom like we thought she just like And I do want to know why Wendy's people with Katie Pr. I need to know that. And they straight at her too. They got the screenshot of her face.

They said, can we send her back? I don't know. They said send her back. She did something. Yeah, she must have said something about some fast food when she landed or something. Like some other fast food. I don't know.

I didn't see that, but fast food. Wendy's is crazy. People love to see celebrities and wealthy people miserable. Yes. And even if they were to do some type of charity They would get criticized for that right? They didn't give enough. Why do they give it to that charity? So you're damned if you do you're damned if you don't yeah, well congratulations to those ladies Thanks, no pictures though. They have pictures from them in space

Video them when they come down because after a certain point you parachute and you just hit the ground and they're like, woo, they're like yelling. Like it's a whole thing. Yeah. Yeah, there's videos. I ain't seen no pictures, but they got videos. Yeah. I'll show you some.

All right. Well, that is the latest with Laura. Now when we come back, we got front page news, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV, Juscelarius, Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Nogai.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Yeah, Envy, I know you like to start with sports, but let's start with some sports at the White House. So President Trump honored the Ohio State Buckeyes at the White House yesterday for winning the national championship.

And JD Vance, the vice president, dropped the championship trophy after the ceremony. I cannot believe it. That's that clip is circulating online. Did y'all see it? Did I did see him drop the trophy looking very unmanly for an administration that likes to talk about people being so manly. Boy, you didn't look manly at all. Definitely did not lift that thing for anything. So Trump highlighted the Buckeyes path to the title and said that he expects to see quarterback Will Howard play in the NFL for years. Now, Vice President JD Vance, who is from Ohio,

joked that he asked the president if he could skip the inauguration to attend the national championship. Let's take a listen to those comments at the ceremony. This was a historic year in college football. Standing together today, these men in the first college, think of that, are the first college football players in history who can proudly call themselves 12-team playoff champions.

You're the first ones, that's right. I asked the president on January the 20th, I said, sir, would you mind if I skipped that final inaugural ball to go to the Ohio State National Championship game? And the president said, no, but we'll have them at the White House. So here we are. Yeah, so there they are. Ohio State defeated Notre Dame to claim its first title

since 2014. So congratulations to them. New York Mayor Eric Adams, he visited the DR on Monday to pay his respects to those who died during last week's night club roof collapse. Now Mayor Adams visited the site of the tragedy, flanked by members of his staff and Dominican officials offering his support to the victims and their families.

Let's take a listen to New York City Mayor Eric Adams and his comments. Your brother from America is here to be with you during this time. During crises and tragedies, families pray, families lift each other up, family hug each other. My visit today is my hug. So it also comes as New York's, of course, you guys are aware New York has a large Dominican population and they remain in mourning following the April 7 incident. Now New York Governor Kathy Hokel was also in the city on Monday delivering remarks at a vigil in the Bronx for the victims. So that is a tragic, tragic story, but I will continue to keep you updated as that story

develops. And of course today y'all is tax day. Have you filed your taxes? Have you filed your taxes? Taxes are due today. And if you haven't even started or you're not done yet, there is still hope. If you're in a crunch, you need to file for an extension. The key thing to keep in mind is to file your extension today,

which will give you at least six months. So taxpayers impacted by natural disasters, which we know there have been a lot of in the last year. In 12 states have automatic tax extensions to file and pay their 2024 taxes. Now some extensions only apply to certain areas within those states that were actually impacted by storms or fires, you know, what have you.

If you file for an extension, you need to file, you need to form a form 4868 on irs.gov. That's 4868 on irs.gov, which gives you an automatic extension for six months. So just don't not file, okay? don't do just just don't do that. All right, you play with the IRS if you want to. You ain't got to file but the IRS will find you. That's right. You can run but you cannot hide. And don't forget they're giving away the agency is working with immigration too. So you know, just keep that in mind as well something to keep in

mind. But I'm not gonna get too much into that. That's your front page news. Y'all can follow me on socials, at Morgan Media.

Now, when we come back, my lovely, beautiful wife

will be joining us this morning. Our new book, Real Life, Real Family, is in stores today. And we gonna talk about it. We'll do it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Guess who I'm gonna name this morning show, The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne the God,

Lauren LaRosa is here, Jess Hilarious is here. Who's filling in for Envy? Lauren LaRosa's filling in for Envy. Is Envy filling in? He's here. I'm here. But she's filling in. Yeah.? Lauren LaRose is filling in for Envy. Is Envy filling in? He's here. Amir. We? She's filling in.

Yeah. Yeah. He's a guest today though because his new book, Real Life, Real Family with the queen of the house, Gia Casey is out right now. How you feeling Gia? Fumbled. By being given the opportunity to write a book about something that is the most important thing to me. The thing I'm most passionate about. The thing that brings me the most joy. Family, parenting, my household, our home. So yes

I'm very humbled. This is the second book. Yes it's amazing. You know what? Let's just rewind a bit. For those who don't know, who is the KC Crew? Where did that name come from? How did y'all get started? Do you remember? The KC Crew? Yeah, it's our last name. What do you mean? No, no, no. But do you remember how we came up with the name? No, how did we come up with the name? We were doing our first podcast and it was before we were doing the audio version, the video version. It was just the audio version. And we started the podcast without a name. And we sat there and we kind of was coming up with like different

names. And one of us said, well, how about the Casey crew? You know, our last name is Casey. We have a whole crew of kids, a whole gaggle. What about the Casey crew? And then people, you know, DM us and emailed and whatnot. And they said, yeah, we love that name. We love that name. So we decided to call ourselves the Casey crew. Amazing. That's what I came about. And whenever you post on social, you always hashtag the KC Crew. Yes. Envy does as well. But one of the things that you guys do really good from the podcast to bringing it online

is you pay attention to the comments and the responses. Gia does. Gia, yeah. And you guys bring them into the podcast, but you also reflect on them on social media. So I want to read one of the posts that we pulled, and I thought that this and I thought that this was great. Uh, you inspire me. This is someone commenting to you guys. You inspire me. I wish all parents had this level of intention, planning and vibe. Truth is most parents, moms are stressed overworked by trying to make ends meet in harboring trauma. Therefore it's passed down to the children. You've passed down light

and love because of that. And because of what are. High five to all of the parents doing their best. And you use that as a moment to talk about like, no, it'd be, it'd get a little crazy over here. But it's important because when you, if you've ever been around your family, it is a lot of love and a lot of light, but I'm sure on the inside things get crazy. Well, you know, that's a big misconception. People assume that because you live a certain lifestyle, or because you've earned a certain financial status that you don't have the same problems that they have. So that comment really, really stood out to me because she spoke on the troubles and the

trauma and the word trauma that she used. And Rashaun will speak on the word trauma. Sometimes he feels as though it's a word that's overused, but it's a word that represents something that so many people endure. The difference now is that we have words to identify how we feel and what we go through and it's articulated because when our feelings and our experiences are articulated, then you're able to communicate. People are able to understand you. You're able to understand other people. You're able to have empathy and compassion for other people because now we're all speaking

a universal language. Like the word triggered, like the word trauma, like the word- Gaslight. Gaslight. You know, these are things that some may think are overused now, but- Exact words. Yes, but there is value there. There is value there because now we can see each other.

We understand each other. When you're trying to create a safe space, you know, how is it to venture into an unsafe space like the comments, especially with somebody that's on the air every day? I mean, people have an opinion about it every day. So I read every single comment. Every last comment. Every YouTube comment. She's been Every YouTube comment. I interact. It started when I had a lower follower count. It started because I always felt that if someone follows me, that's an investment, a small investment maybe, but it's an investment that they put into me. And they're looking at my content,

they're looking at my pictures. And you left a comment, I want to respond back to you. I used to respond to almost every comment, you know, but then when my followers went up, I wasn't really able to do that. And that was something that, you know, I had to take that on the chin. I wasn't able to, but it's a sign of respect. And you said, why do I do that to myself? Because I'm strong enough to do that. I'm strong enough to do that. The comments don't, if they are negative,

and I have to say, I don't receive a lot of negative comments, thankfully, thank God. But if they are negative, I look at it as insight. I might ask myself, why might someone have that perspective? To me, it feeds my mental, because I'm a thinker, I'm a deep thinker, I mull over things, I love to understand people. So for me, the comments are food and they also bring me happiness when they're good. It lets you know that you're reaching someone, whatever it is that you're putting out, because

it's in the sense of sharing. There's a lot of things that I don't share. So if I choose to share and it's well received, then that's a good feeling. I think that's why a lot of people are on, or part of the reason why a lot of people are on social media. You know what I mean? And I'm strong enough to do so,

and that's because of the way that I was raised. I was raised to be a very strong and resilient woman. It comes directly from my parents. I'm fortunate in the sense that I can look back and identify things about the way that I was raised that created the individual, the woman, the mother, the wife that I am. And it's for me, it's a very beautiful thing. Both of my parents are no longer here. So to be able to say, wow, when my mother did this every single day, or when she took me here once a week, or when she said this to me and those compliments and that the way that she fed me and she fed my

soul and the joy that I experienced and the amount of fun that I had as a kid, like I loved my life. And it's not because we were wealthy. We were not. We were a middle middle class family. I'm from Brooklyn, from East Flatbush. We weren't raised, you know, like I'm from an urban area and it's not had nothing to do with money. It had nothing to do with wealth. It had everything to do with what my parents poured into my home and the love that I felt. And that is what we put into writing this book. There's a lot of books that we could have written. So many ideas came, oh,

because Real Life Real Love was a huge success. It was a national best seller. So it's like, oh, you can write a book about this. We said we want to write a book about family. It's what we know best. It's what we know best. We've had so many ups, so many downs, so many wins, so many losses, so many wins, so many losses, so many

things that we thought we were doing right, that we weren't, that we had to regroup and make sure that we were balanced, you know, as a married couple, because when we didn't agree, it's like, my way is better, no, my way is better. And this, you know, we had to come to a meeting of the minds. Yeah. You know what I mean? So our relationship, you know, the relationship grew, you know, because we had to learn how to see eye to eye as parents. So there was just, there was many, many ups and downs and we wanted to pour that all into a book. You know, we wanted to let everyone know, like it's really that village mentality.

It's really that like we are a community, especially our black community, because I'm black. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. For the record, for the record, he is 100% black. But I know that you're well aware because you speak to things of this nature often, but our history is being erased in schools and it's being stripped away silently in society. So the foundation starts in our homes. We have to teach children how to identify themselves. We have to teach children that sense of belonging, and they have to understand that they come from something meaningful. And if you leave it up to society to teach them that, you're going to wind up with children that are lost, that are overlooked,

that don't know how to identify themselves, that get taken advantage of, and that are susceptible to what society wants for them. So for us, our core, our nucleus, our foundation, our home, supersedes anything else in this world. We put our family first. All right, when we come back, we have more with Gia Casey. Our book, Real Life, Real Family is in stores right now. A guide to raising empowered children.

We'll be back in minutes. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ NB, Jess Hilarion, Charlamagne the guide, we are The Breakfast Club. Lona Rosa is here as well. As we're kicking it with Gia Casey, our new book, Real Life, Real Family is out today. You can pick it up at Amazon, Barnes and Nobles,

or Audible. Jess? Would you say that you and Evy have two different parenting styles? Absolutely. Who's the more lenient parent? It depends what it is. Everybody knows my dad is a retired police officer and ex-military, so I'm disciplined. I was the yeller, the screamer because I said so. Yeah. ex-military so I'm disciplined I was the yell of the screamer because I said so yeah I guess a lot different like seven hours like she wants to know why yeah yeah she likes to break down yeah don't get it you gonna get it by the end of

right yeah so you got a really think before you speak to her cuz she's like alright well explain that like I just said it just because, no, no, no, explain this. But so I'm more like, because I said so, she's more like, well, you can't go to the mall because of this, because this could happen. Explain your parenting style. Mine is my dad was like, no, and you didn't ask why. It was what it was, you just figured it out later.

Gia's a little different. I prefer the explanation. Yeah, so that's how my parents were with me. I knew that my parents were invested in me living a happy, fulfilled and fun life. And we didn't go lightly on the fun. And because I knew that, and my parents never said no,

just for the sake of saying no, because parents are overworked and they are stressed. And the last thing they want to hear when they walk through the door is, mommy, can I, can you take me here? Can you buy me this? Can we watch this together? Can we go like slow down? No. And sometimes you say no, you don't even know why you're saying no. That's not a good parenting technique. You really have to take a moment. You have to take a beat. We all have to take a beat to listen to our children and be patient. And because I knew that my parents were invested in me that way, I knew that when they said

no, there was a good reason. How do you make sure you're not, you're raising the kids out of love and not fear though? That's such a good question. It comes with the explanations. Do you know what I mean? I don't tell them you can't do this and you can't do that. Why? Because I said so. Let me explain to you why. You know, sometimes we'll watch the news together, you know, when they're at an appropriate age at about nine years old, you know, I think that they're mature enough to ingest certain things. So

what I do is I would record it on my DVR and then cherry pick different stories that I think that are appropriate that speak to the protective measures that we take on them. You know what I mean? So it's like if I see a child abduction that's not too traumatic, I might save that and then show it to a child that's old enough. You know, I did it with Madison, I did it with Logan, and I find that they take that into their adult lives. And they're very, very like Madison walks around like a police officer. She has a boyfriend, his name is Andrew. And when they go into a restaurant, she's the one that sits facing the door. She feels like

the protective force in that relationship, because her head is always on swivel. You know what I mean? She could tell you a car that was driving six cars ahead, you know, and she's always paying attention to license plates. When she was young, I used to go through like, in case you get kidnapped scenarios, because it's the type of information that can save a life. Girls are being taken. So if you have a young girl, it is very proactive to educate them about the realities and the tricks and the cons that people, you know, because even me as proactive as I try to be, that whole technique with a baby crying outside your house, I would be inclined to open the door. If I hear a baby crying and someone that sounds like a mother yelling and screaming outside the house, I am that type of person. But not me. But now I am.

I am. I would my heart with my I would be inclined to open that door. But now with all the knowledge and some of the good things about social media is that so much knowledge is being spread. So now we're consuming good information as well. So I heard that. I'm like, wow, that's absolutely right. It jogs your thinking. It makes you say, oh, wait a minute, I do have to put myself first. Even if someone else, a stranger seems to be in need. I have to prioritize myself, my home, my family.

So, you know, it's important to spread information and to teach your kids, even though it may be a little scary, but you do have to do it in a way where it doesn't incite fear. How y'all pick and choose what y'all decide to be transparent about? Like, it's just so much. Your kids are getting older and they're like, you know, like they're wanting to walk by themselves with their friends. You know what? If it was up to me, I'm transparent with everything, right? Gia has to hold back a lot.

Like for instance, like with Logan, right? Logan, when he was in high school, used to get picked on all the time. But he used to get picked on, guess for what reason? Oh. Me and Lifeguine? No, because Charlamagne and Em is gay. Dad is gay. Yes, yes.

Stop being gay. I tell you all the time. No, when you gave me the ass, that's why. Pause. What? Wow. Hey, yo. Pause. He gave me the ass, that's why. Pause. What? Wow! Hey, yo. I think you gave it. Pause. No, he gave me the butt cake.

When he gave me the butt cake. That's not much better. You know what I mean. But the butt cake cake he gave you. When he gave me the dog. No, we are not about to hate Bob, but this is short. Don't do that. So it used to be made fun of because of that.

But the reason I'm so transparent is there's so many Families and people dealing with the same things but never want to talk about it right scared to so that's why I talked about The orgasm thing in the first book. That's why in this in the second book we talk about you know the time No, no, no, we're not doing that. Every interview you do that, Google's it. Every interview. Lauren, do you want to do some research? No, no. All right, no.

You should tell and listen to us a little. So even like in this book, we talk about the time that Logan found a bloody condom at one of his friends' house. So he came, but he's comfortable. Why are you looking at that? It wasn't mine. I'm in truth. Wait, wait, wait.

He's like, oh, he found a bloody condom. It wasn't our house, all right? No, it was at his friend's house. And he was like maybe nine years old. Nine years old? He was about nine years old. But he was comfortable enough to come up and ask mom about it. They were in the basement and the little boy had an older brother.

So what did you do? Yeah. When Charlamagne gave daddy the ass. That's how you did it. That's how you did it. had an older brother. So that's when we had the sex talk and Gia had to have the sex talk with Logan and Madison. What kind of sex talk though? It wasn't a backdoor sex talk. It ain't just birds and bees, birds and wasps wasps and birds and... No, I'm serious! Birds and bees and... They got a full-blown sex talk. They had to understand because if you leave it... No backdoor sex talk if that's what you...

No, no. I'm really trying to figure out why was the condom bloody. I'm really asking. It might have been somebody ran a red light or... Yeah. Maybe it was like, you know what I mean? Somebody just f***ed up somebody's butt open and just straightened his skin. That was 25. Nah, somebody ran a red light's butt open. I'm just strange as hell. That was 2025.

Nah, somebody ran a red light on me. It could also be like a first time thing. Yeah. Yeah, but no, at that point I found that they were old enough and mature enough and they're encountering things. Now these conversations are being had amongst their peers and I knew that if I didn't set them straight, that they were going to be absorbing all of this wrong information and wrong ideas. So I told them sex feels good. It's a pleasureful experience.

God made us that way because God wants us to reproduce. He wants us to create offspring. So he made it something that we would enjoy, but it's meant for someone that you love. And that's the reason why. So they're like, Oh, okay. So what is it like? And what did you say? Okay, if I'm being honest, I told them that there is a penis and there is a vagina. And my son Logan was like, so like this. I was like, yeah, something like that.

I said, you know, some people look at it as a negative thing. No, no, no, he really didn't. No, he really didn't. He really didn't. Even, even like my 11 year old son right now, he does not know. So when they asked me questions that I don't want them to know about, and he's older than Logan was, but now with, I have a better grip on his friends and a grip on what he's exposed to on his phone and whatnot and parameters, boundaries.

So I'm really abreast of what he knows and what he doesn't. And our lines of communication are way better. Yeah. We have more with Gia Casey when we come back. Our new book, Real Life, Real Family is out today. It's a guide to raising empowered children. And it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guide.

We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well as we're kicking it with Gia Casey. Our new book, Real Life, Real Family is out today. You can pick it up at Amazon Barnes and Nobles or audible Jess You have six kids. So is there anything that you felt like in the beginning? I didn't know and until y'all got to that six kid, of course Yeah, like what were some of the I'll give you an example didn't know you just was like me and Rashaun winging this I'll give you I'll give you an example

So one of one of the fails and this was something that we disagreed on. So it was the explaining everything to the kids. I have the patience to do it and he really is a because I said so type of guy. And it worked beautifully with Madison. But with Logan from a young age, I would explain everything to him. And he's a mama's boy. Times 30. You know what I mean? Like, we're very, very close. But it kind of went wrong with him. Because what we found was that

we created an environment where he felt that he was entitled to an explanation. And he felt as though because we gave him too safe of a space that he could challenge me and he can challenge a decision that I made. So we had to dial that back and then we had to teach boundaries and let him know his place. So that was a fail in a sense. And Rushawn would always look at me like, see, I told you. Like, see, I told you. Like, see, I told you.

I'm always the bad guy because now I got to go discipline that. So now me and Logan get into it. And now you can't beat Logan because Logan beat me now. So now I got to discipline Logan and then me and Logan get into it. But one thing about Logan and all of our kids, which is the craziest thing is they're very forgiven. Like with Logan, I have to get sometimes so disrespectful for him to understand. And the next day he's like, hey dad, what's up? And I'm like, hey dad, what's up? But that's how he is. And he just has conversations, but we have those conversations and we understand and we talk. But he's the one that just like his mom.

I love that y'all have a family mission statement. What is the mission statement? And tell people the importance of that. Well, just so we know, we don't have it on our wall and then make the kids read it when they walk in the house. It's not that type of mission statement. I feel like it is. It's not like that. So our mission statement is just something that we, you know, as a family, we all live by, right?

And I'll read some of them. And the reason is, is we are a close unit, right? So if you see us together, we are all always out together. You see me the other day with Jackson. You see me before and Charlamagne has seen me before. So the mission statement is we are a unit, right? We all ride together. Like we are really a unit. A unit.

I'm an only child, so I'm heavy into taking care of each other. We respect each other, of course, it's simple. We make sure that we respect each other's feelings. We always have each other's backs. That's one thing that we always do. And sometimes when we have conversations up here, I always talk about my kids.

So when they see stuff on social media, at times I have to stop them because they will go in, especially Logan. Logan will go in. He is like that. We always love to uplift each other and point out the good in one another, right? We see that more, especially with our girls in dance because they compete against- Hey kids, it's me, Kevin Smith. And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith. That's my daughter, man, who my wife has always said is just a beardless, d***less version of me. And that's the name of our podcast,

Beardless D***less Me. I'm the old one. I'm the young one. And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard. Sounds innocent, doesn't it? A lot of cussing, a lot of bad language. It's for adults only. Or listen to it with your kid.

Could be a family show. We're not quite sure. We're still figuring it out. It's a work in progress. Listen to Beardless D***less Me on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players

and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny, six-foot-two Hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Russmore for guys

that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's Dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dubb Dynasty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.

This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest love story you've ever

heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are we ready to fight? I'm ready to fight.

As you are. Is that what I thought it was? Oh, this is fighting words. Okay. I'll put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a best-selling author with the second most banned book in America. Now, more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back.

And that's what we're doing on Fighting Words. We're not going to let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of Black history, queer history, any history that challenges the whitewash norm. Or put us in a box. Black people never, ever, depended on the so-called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great.

We are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We talk about each other a lot. So when they do, we have to make sure that regardless of what happens, like a couple of weeks ago, London lost and we thought London got jerked. So I told, you know, I had a conversation with Brooklyn and Brooklyn was like, dad, don't worry, I'm going to get first and second for her.

And she went out there and bust ass, she got first and second. She got first place and second place. Gave the first place to her sister because that's what it was. We represent each other at all times, that's how it always is. So we always tell our kids, if we're not there,

you make sure that those parents come back and say, oh my gosh, he was such a pleasure. He was polite, he was this. Even with Jackson at the game, Jackson said thank you a million and one times, so you said hello a hello million one times to you because that's what he's taught to do that you show respect. Yeah. With that, my goal for my kids is that when they leave our house, I want everyone that they come in contact with to know that they're well loved. What we teach you inside this house, you exemplify outside of this house. And these are things that

a lot of parents don't put into perspective when raising children, because what do we usually do? We take like, you know, an idea and we throw it up against the wall and we see if it sticks or not. You know what I mean? Oh, that worked. Oh, that didn't. Okay. But a lot of people don't have something tangible that they can go back to and be like, this is a way to create a foundation. This is a way to create a structure. And because we had so many ups and downs, we were able to do that and put it in one place.

And I think the biggest story I know you hate when I tell the story was Jackson. Right. So we had a pair of teachers night a couple of weeks ago. And a teacher came up to me, teacher that I had no idea who he was. It was a STEM Knight. So he walks up to me. He was like, are you Jackson's dad? I'm like, yeah. A teacher usually asks that, he's usually some BS, right? So I'm like, oh, here we go, what did Jackson do?

And he was like, I just want to tell you, you know, Jackson did something that no child or adult has done in my life. The other day I'm walking down the hall and Jackson comes running up to me and he goes, you know, are you okay? And the teacher was like, what do you mean? He was like, you just don't look as happy as you usually do. Are you all right? Is anything bothering you?

Would you like to have a conversation with me and just talk it through? Yeah, you'd be a mother of a child. He's a psychiatrist. That is real. I'm gonna take a picture with you. I was like, what? He was like, nah, you just don't seem as happy as you do,

but don't let things stress you out. Just prey on it and tomorrow will be better, right? And if you need to talk to me, come talk to me. And he said, Jackson ran off. And he was like, I've never had an adult or a child ever do that to me. So he was like, whatever you're doing at home, continue that. And you you know, I mean that just shows what the kids are learning at home is worth everything So you need to report that teacher to you. You need to be in school

Thank you, thank're such a beautiful family. You're such a good job. Thank you. I'm gonna find my husband. Real life, real family. Thank you for pulling up. And for everybody else, we just want to add this last part. We actually wrote it with somebody that helped us out with terms and helped us with different phrases. And helped us make sure that we were actually doing the right thing when it came to raising our kids. Yeah. So we wrote it alongside a psychologist because yes,

because we wanted to make sure that our outlooks were, were on the level that I would want to put it out to the public. I wanted the psychological research and quarterbacking behind the way that we parent to pretty much put a stamp on it. To know that what we're doing, not just from our personal experience driven point of view is sound, but from a psychological point of view is also sound. I wanted to make sure that alongside the truth and the transparency and the experience that we had that backing to the book as well. I wanted that level of value

in the book as well. So, and also, you know, if you have a child with anxiety, ADD, ADHD, other setbacks, other disabilities, you know, we speak to you in this book as well, because those people are very like, they don't have that many resources. This book is for anyone who is a parent, a single parent, a parent that is married, a single woman, but maybe about to have kids. The next someone that wants to have a child. I didn't look at you, Lauren. Nobody looked at you.

First of all, you did look over here. I looked at you. Thank you. It's, it's, it's forever. It's a very relatable book and there's a lot of exercises in the book. We kind of also created it in like a workbook style. So there's a lot of reflections. There's a lot of places in there for you to answer questions so you can kind of analyze

yourself and understand your own point of view in a way of like articulation where if you haven't really thought about certain things, it'll jog you to think about things. And even if you don't do don't take our take, it encourages you and helps you to come up with your own takes on parenting. So, down! Real Life, Real Family, it's the KC crew, it's the Breakfast Club. All right, dropping the clues bombs for Wale. When Wale gonna give us some new music, man? He has new music. He does?

account. I did not say I gave you that. I said you gave me the ass. Whoa. First of all, I would never be a bottom. You know what? Even in your wildest dream. Go in the tree.

Are you talking? Exactly. The girls do say you give bottom. Give is one thing. Being is another. Let's get to the latest with Lauren the latest with Lauren La Rosa sometimes Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything.

Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. So speaking of DJ, MV and Gia in real life, real family, a guide to raise and empower children, the MV you and Gia were on Mandy's podcast, Mandy and Weezy's podcast? That's right. Decisions, decisions. I was about to call them. I know that's right. wheezy park. That's right decisions decisions

So you guys sat down with them and you talked a lot about your family your relationship your love But for some reason you went back to the org. I didn't go back. I didn't go back How did do you want to explain how you ended up there? I don't know how we ended up there. Tell people what you're talking about first Lauren. For those who haven't read the first book Lauren, tell them what happened. So for those who have not read DJ Envy's first book, he talks about in the book not being able to make his wife, Gia, orgasm for how long Envy? Ten years, a whole decade. You have a child older than ten years old. That's not true.

It's taken out of... But I don't know... Well, go ahead. Why is it not true when you said it? Well... Yes, go ahead, please. We have audio of Envy and Gia explaining how that story was twisted. Let's take a listen to the explaining.

Charlamagne twisted it. What's something you told in either book that you were like, I can't believe we just gave this up. The first one, I don't care, But the first one is the orgasm thing. Oh, that you never made her orgasm. That was crazy. Not never, up until a certain point. Which is crazy that you said you stayed because girl.

My mouth game was good. It's just my pain game wasn't good. For clarification, up to a certain point, I wasn't regularly having orgasms through intercourse, but I was having orgasms through intercourse, but I was having orgasms in other ways. Oh, which is, hold on. That's not what I thought. That's not what I heard. Because that's not how the media spun it.

I mean, had anyone read the book, they would understand. Oh, you gotta make sure people got clear. No, it's not that I was this long suffering wife. Hashtag forgive the whole time. Go for it, You forgive. They were sending the rules and all types of things. Yeah, no, that wasn't it. A whole decade, 10 years, 3650 days. I like how she tried to keep it down.

She always hold it down for envy. He be doing some things. That talks about that talks about our family and kids and that's the clip you pull. Yes, because I really don't understand why you went back here and we had explained how you got to the kids are almost right now what happened on decision to decision Another thing that did more another thing that I thought was interesting from this conversation I've never heard this side of it Gia actually explained that she feels like it was actually her that was a part of the non-orgasm problem. Let's take a listen. Now you can f*** through vaginal penetration every single time.

I get busy now. Wait, wait, wait. No, hold on. It's not that you didn't get busy. It had nothing to do with him. So which is the f*** the f*** about men entering the sexual space, right? There's nobody to talk to. You never sat down to your boy and be like, oh bro, how you have sex? What do most guys do? They watch porn. And when you watch porn, all you see is bang, bang, bang, bang,

bang. Right? So you start trying to do that. You realize there was no sensuality. You realize there was no touch. You realize it's a movie. That's a very, very small part of it. The problem is me and I was too young to understand your body, my body. So when I was in that role, it was about me performing for my boyfriend, me performing for my husband. So I was in so much of a pleasure mode that I neglected myself. You know what though? I ain't gonna hold you that I thought she was making excuses for low envy before, but no, that is actually something very true because honestly I didn't have an orgasm until later on either and I didn't know what was happening.

I didn't know what was, you know what I'm saying? So I do understand, but y'all should have said that in the first book. We did say that in the first book, but Charlamagne only took a certain part out and been going with this part for the last five years. Real life, real orgasm. A guide to having an empowered orgasm out to date. Oh my goodness. There's so much you could have took from the book.

So many things that we talked about the kids, but that's where you wanted to go. Okay, Lauren. I wanted you to know, as a media personality, you should know how to not say certain things. You said my pen game. You had to get your pen game right. My pen. Pen, oh you said pen. I get busy now is the quote you want people to leave with from this interview.

I get busy now. That's what y'all took. Well, you know. I can't wait for real life. He said update on his 10 years of not giving his wife an orgasm. I get busy now. I can't wait for real life real wigs to come out.

We're gonna have some conversations. Real life real wigs. You heard them Jess. It's cool. Oh my goodness. You know what I'm gonna do to help fund that book? There is another GoFundMe. I saw it surfaced online this morning. Hashtag still poor Gia. Oh my goodness. Y'all better not donate a dollar to this thing. It's $24,000 is the goal. Y'all been together 24 years, right? 31 years. 31? Oh shoot. We've been married 24. We gave her 24 because the length of the marriage is what we're trying to compensate her for.

What's the point of the GoFundMe again? Envy said that they had created them early on so she could use the money to go get pleasure. Damn, so what's that? It's still porn. Go get pleasure. What you mean go get pleasure? Oh my goodness. Can we continue on please? That's in the book? That's not in the book. What you mean go get pleasure? Can we continue on please? That's in the book? That's what you're talking about?

That's not in the book. That's not in the book. What you mean go get pleasure? That's not in the book. I don't know what you're talking about. Why is your wife raising money to go get pleasure? She's not raising no money man. They're joking.

Would you stop? People don't believe you. To go get pleasure from who? What? What is this woman just talking about on this radio? I don't know. Please make sure you guys go get Real Life Real Family, a guide to raising empowered children and understanding your pin game.

Who's going to raise the children and understand your pin game. Well, who gonna raise the father? Who raising the father in that house? That's what I need to know. Logan, you raising the father? Who raising the daddy in that house, man? Oh. Okay.

She ain't never gotta worry about it. Oh god. Don't even worry about it. She'll never be in that situation. You know what was crazy? Y'all gonna be real shocked when y'all see a man come up there for her work.

Yes, we are. Hm. Yes, we are. No. We sure are. We sure are. When that guy get down on his knees and pull a ring out of Lauren Wigg

and she didn't even know it was there, I'm gonna be shocked as hell. I'm gonna be like, wow. I just hope I'm allowed to see it. I just hope I ain't 99 and I hope I'm allowed to see it. Are you sure you want to do this? Oh, no. Sir. Or ma'am. Are you sure? Or ma'am. Or ma'am.

Listen, it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Period. Alright, well that was the latest with Lauren, I guess. Alright, Shalaman, who you giving your donkey to? We need a man named Edgar Verdusco. I don't know if that's how you pronounce his last name, but he needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. He does not care about other humans on this planet and he's the reason why I hate humans. We'll discuss.

Alright, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. I was donkey up to D-Town. Damn, he hogging. It's time for breakfast. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. I was Donkey of the Day. Baby!

Damn, he hogging. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm not even trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. I'm called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Solomon. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Jess Hilarious, Donkey for Tuesday April 15th goes to a 34 year old former police

officer named Edgar Verdasco. He used to be a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department and he is the latest example of why I simply hate humans. I've come to the conclusion that what annoys me about life the most is people. Which is strange because the thing I love most about life is people. But I like considerate people. Okay, we had Mel Robbins up here yesterday

and she was speaking to how emotionally disconnected some people are from the actual human experience. And this story is just another example of that. Edgar on Friday pled guilty to three counts of murder. Okay, this man killed a mother, a father, and a teenage son. Would you like to know how it happened? Let's go to ABC 7 eyewitness news for the report please. A former LAPD officer is heading to prison after pleading guilty to murder in a fiery DUI crash. 34-year-old Edgar

Verdusco faces 15 years to life for killing three people on the 605 freeway in 2017. The off-duty police officer was driving 150 miles an hour while under the influence of alcohol when he hit two vehicles. One of them plowed into the center divider and burst into flames killing Maribel and Mario Davila and their 19-year-old son Oscar who was a student at UC Riverside. Verdusco was due back in court in July for sentencing. Rest in peace to that family, man. Dead because of somebody else's negligence. Edgar, you have to get the book thrown at you.

Okay, put him under the prison. You're a police officer, so you know the law. You knew drinking and driving, the speeding, the reckless driving, vehicular homicide. You know the law and you know what all that carries. Plus your job is to protect and serve. You did none of that. So your penalty has to be harsh.

Okay, and I'm taking in this story and it makes me feel why did God give us free will? Okay I'm glad God gave it to us but free will is like a baked potato. Okay it needs toppings to really elevate it. Okay you can eat a baked potato plain but when you put butter on it or sour cream or chives or salt or pepper some people like cheese I'm lactose intolerant so I salt, or pepper. Some people like cheese. I'm lactose intolerant, so I don't do that. Some people like chili on it, green onions. I've seen broccoli on baked potatoes. My point is, free will and free will alone is not enough. In order to maximize free will, you need self-awareness, you need to pay attention to the present moment,

you need to manage your emotional state, you need to be of good character, and you don't need to be on drugs and alcohol, because those things called you to make poor choices with that free will. And what does your uncle Sharla always tell you on this damn radio? Destiny is not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. This guy Edgar exercised his free will to make a poor choice. And this is why I don't like humans.

When Mel Robbins was here talking about people who leave the bathroom disgusting it hit me because that's one of my pet peeves. I hate when I walk in the bathroom and see somebody else's doo doo in the toilet. Even worse when you see that they left the toilet lining on the seat it's like what type of rush are you in? Don't you know other people have to use this bathroom? I feel the same way about drunk driving. Okay, now you're talking to a person who almost killed himself drunk driving when I was a

young lad. So I'm speaking from experience. I was selfish. I wasn't thinking about anybody but myself. I had zero regard for other people's lives in that moment. And thank God my dumb ass, you know, when I wrecked, didn't kill myself or anyone else. For more on that story, go to Amazon and purchase my first book, Black Privilege. Opportunity comes to those who create it.

Available everywhere. You buy books now. I hate people. Okay. This man, Edgar posted a video on social media with the hashtag. Oh, that's the part of the story I left out. This man, Edgar posted a video on social media with the hashtag. Don't drink and drive.

And then shortly after gotten his car drunk and killed three people I repeat this man Edgar posted a video on social media with the hashtag don't drink and drive and then shortly after killed three people drunk driving this goes back to what I said about self-awareness paying attention to the present moment God God Literally told Edgar what to do and he did the opposite We have all these conversations about signs look for signs God put it in his head and his heart so much that he shared with social media a message that he ignored

Don't drink and drive Edgar that was for you in that moment. It doesn't get much clearer than that gang. But you can't see it because you are a human being that is so disconnected from the interconnection to the human experience. I don't care if you drinking and driving or leaving a public bathroom filthy. When you do those things you are simply not thinking over it and then they leave that is a human being that is so disconnected from the interconnection of the human experience. You are leaving that for another person and so making sure that you don't leave your mess for another person, making sure that you just kind of wipe down the counter. And then here's the second thing.

If there is a human being cleaning that bathroom, please look in the AI and say, thank you. All the time. Thank you. All the time. All the time. Thank you. Like that right there is a simple thing that will make you start to shake out of that woe is me or that stress or that overwhelm. Let them know you appreciate and see what they're doing. Like, you know, I can't look at you because I'm going to cry. People are just walking around disconnected and the power of starting to be the one that wakes people up. These relationships matter because they make you feel human again. The moral of the story is get connected to the interconnection of the human experience.

You are not on this earth for long. Please let Remy Ma give Edgar Verdesco the biggest he ha All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, ma'am. All right. Now when we come back 800 I'm sorry, just ignore just ignore it. Just ignore it. Just ignore it. He's fantasizing right now. Ignore it Just ignore it. Just ignore it. Just ignore it. He's fantasizing right now. Ignore it. 800-585-1051. My book, Real Life Real Family is out today. Gia was just joined the Breakfast Club about 45 minutes ago and we were talking about how we raise our kids and this is how the conversation went. Would you say that you and Envy have two different parenting styles?

Absolutely. Who's the more lenient? It depends what it is. I'm disciplined. I was the yeller, the screamer because I said so. Yeah. Gia's a lot different. Like it don't mean-

This is true. Like she wants to know why. Yeah. Why do you feel that way? And I can tell she likes to break down. What? If you don't get it, you gonna get it by the end of it. Right.

You burn that trip up on them words. Exactly. So you gotta really think before you speak to her because she's like, all right, explain that. Like I just said it just because. No, no, no, explain this. But so I'm more like, because I said so, she's more like, well, you can't go to the mall because of this, because this could happen. Explain your parenting style. Mine is my dad was like, no, and you didn't ask why. It was what it was. You just figured it out later. Giz a little different. I prefer the explanation. Yeah. Yeah, so that's how my parents were with me

I knew that my parents never said no just for the sake of saying no Because parents are overworked and they are stressed. Yeah, you really have to take a moment you have to take a beat we all have to take a beat to listen to our children and be patient and Because I knew that my parents were invested in me that way, I knew that when they said no, there was a good reason. So we're asking 800-585-1051, how does your parenting style differ from your partner's? Yeah, I mean explanations are good. That's how you learn.

Not just in parenting, like even just as a couple, for example, if you say to your wife, did you orgasm? And she says, no, you know, she should explain to you why she didn't so you can make her the next time. Right Envy? So the question is 800-585-1051. How does your parenting style differ from your partner's? Like Jess I'm sure you and Chris's, your parenting different or even you and Rome.

So when we come back we'll find out how it differs and which one works. You say I just ignore Charlamagne? Yes. Like yesterday for the birthdays, I'm sure y'all did two different things, right? No, no, no, Rome had to actually work, so Rome had him last week. Oh, got you, got you.

Yeah, then he came home. So that is the question, and what impact does it have on your child? 800-585-1051, you wanna kiss me, I can tell. I can tell. Why you talking to Jess like that, boy? I'm talking to you! He is not talking to me.

You are crazy. He is not talking to me because I don't even like Dominican people. You got it. What? Sorry. It's the Breakfast Club, boy. Sorry, guys.

Sorry. The Breakfast Club. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! You started calling my phone. Calling my phone.

Tell her, tell her! Man it! It's topic time. Topic, topic, topic. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ N.V. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now if you're just joining us, my new book, Real Life, Real Family, is out today. You can pick it up at Barnes & Noble's, Apple, I said Apple, Amazon, or wherever you buy your books is available on Audible as well. Now if you just joined us, Gia just left and we were talking about our different parenting style So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one How is your parenting style different from your partners is gear talking about it? Would you say that you and and we have two different parenting styles?

I was the more lenient it depends what it is. I'm disciplined I was the yeller, the screamer because I said so. Yeah. Uh, Gia is a lot different. Like it don't be, like she wants to know why. Yeah. Why do you feel that way? And I can tell she likes to break down. What? If you don't get it, you gonna get it by the end of the day. Right. Burn that trip up on them words. Exactly. So you gotta think, really think before you speak to her cause she's like, all right, well explain that. Like I just said it just because. No, no, no. Explain this. Now you know, I came from, all right, we'll explain that. Like I just said it just because now explain this.

Now, you know, I came from, you know, my dad is retired police officer. So his his way was always his way or the highway. That's how he raised me. Gives more patient. And it works for us because it's kind of like good cop, bad cop. We play off each other, which is great. So now how do you and Rome parent you and Chris parent? Do you have a parent the same or different or? No, my parenting is different from both of them.

So I'm going to start with Rome first. Rome started off thinking everything was cute. He loved, because Ash was his first born. He was young, we were young. So Rome was just happy to have a little boy. He ain't thinking everything Ash did was cute. Talk back, all of that, until he got older. Then Rome ain't like that.

So he's a verbal disciplinarian. Me, I always been like my mother. My mother was always, she was not lenient at all. She was always a disciplinarian parent. I was like that, I'm like that too. But Chris showed me and Rome a difference. And he didn't he had no kids when we met. Like he showed he implemented structure in the household. Like Ash has chores every day he wake up. He he we should have

to tell him to wash the dishes from the night before. Yeah. Take out the trash. Clean his room. Sweep down the steps. Make sure that you know your dog is walked. Your dog is fed. It is your dog. I was going to all of that before him, I mean for him before Chris had came into the picture and now Ash opens doors for me. He practices his manners much more. You know what I mean? Chris definitely made a big difference for sure. What about you Charlamagne?

I don't know what my parenting style is. You know what I'm saying? I got four daughters and these new kids different. These new kids? Cause they're just not afraid of me. Hey kids, it's me, Kevin Smith. And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith. That's my daughter, man, who my wife has always said

is just a beardless, d***less version of me. And that's the name of our podcast, Beardless, D***less Me. I'm the old one. I'm the young one. And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard. Sounds innocent, doesn't it? A lot of cussing, a lot of bad language. It's for adults only. Or listen to it with your kid. Could be a family show. We're not quite sure. We're still figuring it out.

It's a work in progress. Listen to Beardless **** with Me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever. You get your podcast. I'm Israel Guccheres and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Clay Thompson

and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know we're here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny six-foot-two hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride.

This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's Dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dubb Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The number one hit true crime podcast, The Girlfriends is back with something new, The Girlfriends Spotlight. Our first two series introduce you to an incredible gang of women who teamed up to fight injustice, showing just how powerful sisterly solidarity can be. We're keeping this mission alive with the Girlfriend Spotlight.

Each week, a different woman sits down with me, Anna Sinfield, to share their incredible story of triumph over adversity. Like June, who founded an all-female rock band in the 1960s. I might as well have said,'re gonna walk on the moon. But she sure showed them who's boss and toured the world. They would just be gobsmacked and they would rush up after the set and say, not bad for chicks. So come and join our girl gang.

Listen to The Girlfriend Spotlight on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are we ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. Is that what I thought it was? Oh, this is fighting words. Okay. I'll put the hammer back. Fighting words, okay. I'll put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a bestselling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we're doing on Fighting Words.

We're not gonna let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of Black history of queer history, any history that challenges the whitewash norm. Or put us in a box. Black people have never, ever depended on the so-called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great.

We are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Like they don't have, like, you know, I had a healthy fear of my mother and father because of them whippings. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like I don't whip my kids.

So they listen to us when they want to. If we get on their ass, don't get me wrong, but it takes a lot. And I'm not one of them, I don't think me or my wife are those gentle parents where it's like, well what's wrong with that? We will comfort them and when we see certain emotions coming, we understand that okay,

there's something else going on here. But we not, them push over parents, I know them push over parents. You are certainly a push over parent. Your wife is not but you are. Them girls be walking all over top of you. That's true but I'm a daddy I don't know what to do and then I yell and then apologize because I feel bad for yelling at them. You know what I'm saying? Like I don't know what my parenting style is but I will say this the reality is as long as whatever your parenting style is is rooted in love. That's all that matters Well, let's go to the phone lines. We got Jay on the line Jay. Good morning. Hey, good morning

How you guys doing good good good? We're talking about Parenting style brother. So growing up I didn't hear a lot of I love you I knew that they love me, but I didn't hear a lot of it. So my parenting style is I guess the polar opposite where I tell them, I show them, I overload them with I love yous. And I got a 23 year old son, a 16 year old and 9 year old daughters and I hear it back from them so it's amazing. Yeah, I grew up. Yeah, yeah, me too. I'm dating somebody who I do love but her parenting style is where the kid talks back a lot.

And because I'm not their father, I try and you know, I play the background. I try and reinforce What she said to them, but it eat that me so much. I don't know how to how would you guys navigate? Handling somebody else's kids with their parenting style. That ain't your business until you marry that woman And then they become your stepkids at this point. That's really not your Not your business and like you said you can't really parent somebody else's kids you kind of got to do it through her you know if you feel like they're being disrespectful I think you have to have that competition. And Jess know that but Jess in that situation.

Yeah absolutely if you live with your girlfriend it is different it is different because I you know I'm not about to let nobody kid disrespect me you know what I'm saying if you live there I mean if you do you live there with them? No, no, I don't, I don't live there. Okay, well then. But I don't live there, but I, and I, to this point, it's been a year, I haven't really asserted myself,

because like I said, it's not my place, but it's so hard to just stand back and hear the level of disrespect from those kids. Yeah, and you definitely gotta sit down and have a conversation with her though. Absolutely. Because if she's gonna allow it, it ain't really nothing that you can do.

How old are the kids? Well, her kids are a 14 year old girl and an 11 year old boy. And I'm telling you, like it may sound like an over exaggeration, but they talk a. Oh, no I definitely understand. I see it all the time hell Yeah, I get it

But if you're not about the Murray our mom or be in Murray their mom or be in the house with them It ain't really nothing that you can do. That's that's effective. You know, it's a day mom step in That's right. I've done little kids. They didn't want to get they daddy. They want you gonna run. Yo. Hello. Who's this? Hey kid good morning, we're talking about different parents and skills talk to us or styles I should say my Husband was raised on survival. I was raised on love so that chances into our parents and spouse He's more like man up you guys figure it out me it's like okay let's have a conversation let's process why you feel mad why you feel sad so our boys are six and four to me and a 14 year old he just like bottles it up I'm

like talk to me that is like not he'll be I yeah you know what I was I was like that too at first because my dad is like that you know me my dad was you know what, I was like that too at first because my dad is like that. My dad was man up, figure it out. My mom was more of the loving person. But I realize every kid is different and that man up thing, it doesn't do anything but I think hurts your kids later on in life. If there's a problem, if there's an issue and they need to cry or they need to let their emotions or feelings go, I think you should allow that safe place for them to do that.

How you gonna tell a little boy to man up and he don't even know what a man is yet? That's right. Yeah, yeah. I do think though that that's a good balance for the household though, you know what I mean? Because even though he was raised on survival, there are still advantages to that. Like he can teach the kids, like you know what I'm saying, like you're the nurturer, he's the more, more so the survival, you know I'm saying like you're the nurturer that he's the more right more so the survival you know those instincts they they need those too

yeah it's a good balance. 800-585-1051 if you're just joining us we're talking about different parenting styles now my book came out today real life real family you could pick it up anywhere you buy books Amazon or audible and we're asking how is your parenting style different from your partners?

Who's the more lenient? It depends what it is. I'm disciplined. I was the yeller, the screamer because I said so. Yeah.

Gia's a lot different. Like it don't be like she wants to know why. Yeah. Why do you feel that way? And I can tell she likes to break down. What? You don't get it. You gonna get it by the end of it.

Right. You burn that trip up on them words. Exactly. So you gotta gotta think really think before you speak to her cuz she's like alright Well explain that like I just said it just because no no no explain this so we're asking 800 585 105 1 how do you parent your kids do you and your spouse or you and your partner have different parenting styles? How does it affect your kids? Hello? Who's this? Ohio what's up, brother? Talk to us about your different parenting styles. Well, see, I was raised by all women, so there was no male voice in the household. So but my kids get to hear my voice all the time.

I remember my mom used to punish us by taking us over to my aunt's house and making us clean her house up. And I didn't understand it. I hated that. I didn't sleep there. That ain't my house. But we got to clean this house up. I didn't understand it. I hated that. I didn't sleep there. That ain't my house. But we gotta clean this house up. And it went on and I figured it out. That was our punishment.

And me and my brother talk about that now. Like, you remember what? Mama used to take a little auntie and clean her house up. Guys always say, I ain't cleaning up. And then you don't want that broomstick going. You were my uncle. You know, cause he he'd come through but he comes with the way you were brought up I was trying to mimic that but I don't do all that cuz I do a lot of cleaning in my house My kids tend to listen to me, but I don't like the way they wash dishes Sweet floors clean the bathroom. So I have to go up behind them. I know is your house always dirty though That's all you got I was always there.

That's all you got. I was always there. When about that is being dirty because it's like like I just told you. I don't like the way my kids wash dishes. So I go behind them. Right, right, right. You know, that's like you at a restaurant and you got some water spots on a spoon for the forter not what or not. It's not dirty is water stains.

What do you would be like man? Hey, I use plastic silverware or I don't need it at all. I get it. I'll say this, I think that all of us are better parents than our parents were simply because we don't beat our kids. Who don't beat their, oh wow. You have a beating? What?

I ain't get beatings when I was brought up, sh**. How old are you? My mama probably would beat me three times. Oh no, sh**. How old are you? I'm 44 would've beat me three times. Oh no, sh**. How old are you? I'm 44. Nah, it was green lights. I didn't get no beating.

Nah, it was green lights from the whole community and who I was from. Everybody had permission to put hands on you. My parents never beat me. Even the principals? Nah, my parents never beat me. I got yoked up a lot and the principal was able to yok you up, but I got yoked up and I was never beat. I got beat with an extension cord.

My daddy beat me with an extension cord one time. That's abuse. It made me go take a bath. That's abuse, sir. I had to have to go pick my own switch. I can tell by seeing MBU anger up in the country. Nope. You needed that though. You needed to pick your own switch. No, I didn't.

Yes, sir. Hello, who's this? Hi, it's Christina. Hey, Christina. Good morning. We're talking about different parenting styles this morning. So the thing is, me and my husband have been together for 24 years. We have two kids, one 22, one 15, both boys, but their personalities are totally different. So we deal with it differently. Our oldest son goes with the flow.

He listened to whatever we told him. Mom and dad is everything. The youngest one, we call him the great debater. This kid will break down everything, wants to know why this, why that. I got one of those, yep. Oh my gosh, it's so aggravating. So we just deal with them,

accordingly to their personalities. And my husband is a Virgo, like you, Envy, so I think y'all peers and styles kind of alike. He don't have a lot of tolerance. He's like, listen, this is what we're doing. Period That is that is my my oldest boy Logan He is the one that likes to he likes to debate all the time and I get to a point I get frustrated I'm like, ah because I said so that's

And then he slams your punk I'm not debating with you. I'm teaching you. Get a little get in trouble. He need do nothing Right here. You go get him some trouble Just Well, thank you Christina shout out to you envy in your new book and congratulations Thank you so much real life family is the name of the book you can put on your book I'm gonna put it on my book. I'm gonna put it on my book. I'm gonna put it on my book I'm gonna put it on my book. I'm gonna put it on my book. I'm gonna put it on my book Well thank you Christina. Well shout out to you Envy and your new book and congratulations. Thank you so much.

Real Life Real Family is the name of the book. You can pick it up on Audible or get it on Amazon. It's all about raising kids and we talk about different ways and different parenting styles and we actually have like a little workbook section where you can write the different things in. We ask questions just to talk about parenting styles and things like that. And you know I remember asking my mom when I had my first daughter I'm just like you know what advice and she just literally just said just love her and that's literally how

I move like you know you just got to love your kids and I like what the young lady said earlier she was like her husband raised their kids out of survival he was raised off survival correct and I always say my daddy raised me out of fear and not love not saying he didn't love me he was just afraid that I was gonna make all of the same mistakes that he made. So a lot of that anxiety and just fear of life he brought into parenting me. You can't do that with your children. You just gotta love your kids.

Like you can't raise them out of fear. You gotta raise them out of love. But back then, I mean, you definitely, I mean, they seen things that we didn't see. It's from an era that we didn't see. My dad, you know, like I tell everybody, he was a retired police officer. So he was in the streets and seen that. And he didn't see it's from an era that we didn't see my dad You know like I tell everybody was retired police officer So he was in the streets and seen that and he didn't want to me get me connected to the streets So they raised off a little bit of family. I think it's worse now. Yeah Yeah, I really do I think it's worse now man

The only thing but I maintain we better parents than our parents because we don't beat our kids Yeah, I don't be my mom and my pops will never beat me just on the Right now I got beat they getting beat me. Just on the other hand. Damn, that's crazy. I wish Ashton was here right now. Ashton. I got beat, they getting beat too. What's up? All right. All right. Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up.

What are we talking about? Tyra Banks is casting for the bodyguard, or she wished she couldn't. Guess who she's casting? Who? Taylor Swift. Oh boy. All right. Oh my. First of all, why is Tyra doing a kick? All right.

Just kidding. We'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, The Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Lauren be coming with straight facts. Tell her. Tell her. Man. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. Well, it's everybody. She gets into details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

She be having the latest on the news. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. But it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Okay, so the Bodyguard remake is coming. You know, the iconic movie with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston and

Tyra Banks is jumping in the conversation of who she thinks should reprise Whitney Houston's role Now if y'all had to cast it, who would you guys think nobody leave it alone? Yeah I just hate that role. It's so they keep trying to redo stuff like ain't nobody no original thoughts No, I mean no original ideas. Why we keep trying to remake movies. That's already great I concur, but if they were I would say probably Beyonce You're crazy because you somebody that would need a bodyguard that can sing. That's a global superstar. Yeah, why not? Well, what's what's that? Well, Tyra Banks says It could be a non-famous person. I hate your homemade.

No, but it's- Wait, us? You made him. I hate him. No, because Whitney played it now, so you're one another famous celebrity, famous singer. Well, Tyra Banks said that it should be Taylor Swift. The Bodyguard, one of the most iconic, romantic movies of all time, a reboot is in the works. A remake is in the works.

I'm like so beyond excited. That movie is everything. Yes. Who could play the Whitney Houston character? Taylor Swift. I think Taylor Swift. Yeah. Because business and commerce, art, and you know she would friggin' sell like crazy. Right.

But okay, I'm just be real, I'm a black girl. Yeah. It was Whitney Houston as a black girl, Kevin Costner as a white man. Yes. What if we flipped it? Yes, and it was Taylor Swift Yes, and eat yourself That's the good gentrified version I do like Like a little bleach on the movie. I like it

But would it be a worldwide hit like that though because a lot of these countries don't like interracial relationships It'll be a kid. I don't know. I guess it would be though. I think the first one was a worldwide hit. I don't freaking know. Tell us if it's a kid too. But it doesn't need to be a remake.

It can just be another type of movie. You know what I'm saying? Like a spin-off? It's got to be a remake. Because yeah, like a spin-off. Because that's the thing. When you put remake on it, that's when you let people down because people are constantly comparing it to what came know before it. So

it's like, nah, just make it a whole nother movie. Now to hear her actually say do the flip or whatever that that is cool because they have Idris Elba as as the bodyguard to to a Taylor Swift or somebody you know of that stature that might be a good movie. What would the storyline be if it was a spin off? Just what would the storyline be? See you lost me because I don't you know Taylor, Taylor and the, you know what I'm saying? How would we get from Whitney to T.T.? I don't think it could be a spinoff. I think you just got to do a new rendition of it. And you need somebody who can really sing. I mean, that's what the, in the original

Bodyguard, Whitney was an actress and a singer in the movie. And that soundtrack sold a lot of that movie. But that's what I think Beyonce would be. But Taylor Swift would do it too. Like Taylor Swift would bring so many people too. Whitney Houston was attractive. She was beautiful. You know what I'm saying?

Taylor is not beautiful but it's like you know. You know what I'm saying? I know what you mean. There was a certain type of like attraction between the two of them on screen and Whitney was so soft and sexy and elegant. I don't know if Taylor can deliver that. Also y'all sleeping on the fact that it was Whitney and Kevin and elegant. I don't know Taylor can deliver that. Also, y'all y'all just ignore my Beyonce. Y'all sleeping on the fact that it was Whitney and Kevin Costner. It was a huge

star back then. So you need a huge star now. She's a huge star. Yeah, we not. Yeah, we not. I don't know if it was on Kevin Costner level. Well, we've been flipping it gotta be a black man. Who would it be? Could be Michael B. Jordan. See that he's still not as old as, you know what I'm saying?

Little older. It's not like four black actors that Hollywood uses. I agree with Jess's original idea. Come up with some new ideas man. We don't need a bodyguard remade. I think it'd be dope if it was. Did the bodyguard slap like that? Yes. I don't want them to touch it but yes that movie is like. The soundtrack was phenomenal. The soundtrack was amazing. I will always love you. The movie was amazing. You know, it would run to you. I have nothing.

The soundtrack was fire. I don't remember the movie that much. The movie was fire. Well, I thought it was amazing. You need to watch it. The movie was dope. What happened? The studio which is going to be releasing the remake has set Taylor Swift's Airstore

director Sam Wrench to help get this together and script and all that other stuff. So maybe that's why she brought Taylor Swift's, Airis Tour director, Sam Wrench, to help get this together and script and all that other stuff. So maybe that's why she brought Taylor Swift into it. I don't know where Taylor Swift came from, but I think we should leave it where it's at. She was killing it. So you just call it, you know, security guard. It don't have to be by security guard.

Security guard. Like concierge. What if we hear Whitney's voice from the heavens and all you hear is, no. Then what? We would all agree. Okay. Yeah, that's good. Not concierge though.

More fun to get out. So in other news, Offset is now happy for Cardi B that she is moving on with Stefan Diggs. So Cardi B and Stefan Diggs were out in New York recently and there's a video of Cardi B dancing on Stefan and having a good time. And a fan commented and said, Offset is somewhere punching the air.
