the best team in the league all year I mean so I mean that's usually how it's
supposed to play out right the best team in the league all year was the mean, so I mean that's usually how it's supposed to play out, right? The best team in the league all year wins the championship.
They deserve that win and Kevin Durant has been traded to the Houston Rockets.
Now the Rockets are sending Jalen Green, Dylan Brooks and the number 10 pick in a 2025 draft and five second round picks for KD.
So they gonna have a squad.
No, they not. They not gonna win a goddamn thing.
You cut it out.
I would have kept that young core together personally myself.
Yeah, I like Jalen Green and Dylan Brooks.
But you know, the coaches dope too. I don't know if KD can play under that coach.
Yeah, I don't know if KD can play in them.
KD has not proven that he can lead anybody to anything.
So, no.
What's up, Morgan?
Hey, y'all. Hey, how we feeling on a Monday?
Good.
Good.
Good.
As good as we can fill with the news that broke over the weekend.
I hear y'all.
I hear y'all.
All right.
Well, let's get into it first on front page.
Y'all remember how last week President Trump said he would decide within two weeks if the
U.S. would get directly involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel?
Well, it appears that two weeks turn closer to two days because the US did in fact bomb nuclear facilities
in Iran on Saturday. Now President Trump called the strikes a spectacular
military success. He addressed the nation just hours after the strikes and he
thanked Israel and the US troops who were involved in the mission. He also
issued a warning to Iran. Let's take a listen to the President Trump Trump's comments. They are a little bit long, so let's hear them out.
A short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three
key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Fordow, Netanj and Esfahan. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to
the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror.
I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those
magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many many Decades Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally
obliterated
Iran the bully of the Middle East must now make peace if do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.
Yeah, guys, so Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he expressed his gratitude to the
US and President Trump.
In a recorded address, Netanyahu said Trump's decision to strike Iran will change history.
Let's take a listen to those comments from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime,
the world's most dangerous weapons.
President Trump and I often say, peace through strength.
First comes strength, then comes peace.
So of course this comes after Israel and Iran have been trading airstrikes for more than a week.
Now, Iran's foreign ministry says the U.S.
has started a dangerous war against Iran.
They released a statement saying in the midst of a diplomatic process, the U.S.
has betrayed diplomacy.
The statement said the U.S.
government bears full responsibility for the grave consequence and dire repercussions
of the attack. Iran's foreign minister is in Moscow with urgent talks for
Urgent talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin Abbas Iraq's
Iraqchi told reporters in Istanbul that Iran and Russia have strategic partnerships and they always consult each other when they
Because they are allies and the Kremlin has helped Iran with its civilian nuclear program in exchange for supplying
Russia with military drones in its war with Ukraine.
So this does appear to be escalating tension.
I will say that the State Department has issued a worldwide caution security alert.
The State Department said the conflict between Iran and Israel has resulted in disruptions to travel and periodic
closures of airspace across the Middle East it is it's the alert the State
Department has advised US citizens worldwide to exercise extreme caution
and it follows Department of Homeland Security's issuance of a national
terrorism advisory system bulletin Iranian officials have also warned of retaliation
against the US after these airstrikes
on their nuclear facilities.
Yeah, I'm not even gonna sit here and pretend
I know what any of this means
or what is gonna happen next.
I wanna say let's hope for the best,
but the best would be that Iran doesn't retaliate
against America in any way, but I don't see that happening.
But we'll see.
Yeah, no, it's very scary,
because I mean, I think we all expect the retaliation is just
where, when, how and hopefully it's protected.
They shoot whatever happens down or anything that happens outside of that they prevent
but it's very scary.
Absolutely.
At seven we'll talk more about in detail about the strikes and I'll share how Congress feels
about this so you guys stick around for more front page news at seven.
All right, everybody else get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent,

found that out who ain't washing their clothes thrift stores oh i don't want to say the first
store i went into specifically but yeah i went to get some shorts saw some fuzz at the top i thought
i was asking a rhetorical question ma''am, do you guys wash our clothes?
Her silence was definite.
Yeah, I mean, if I bought something from a thrift store,
I would definitely wash it.
And I'm thinking right now,
my wife, before she gets anything to the thrift store,
she washes it.
But me, I just throw it in the bag and just send it.
So sometimes you just never know what you get.
Exactly, but even before you buy the clothes,
it's like all that unwashed clothes,
you just working on all that odor, bad smells.
You don't know what people doing to their pants.
Everybody don't stink and I don't fart in my clothes.
So you should wash the clothes before you go.
They still was in your house.
What if you got bed bugs?
I ain't got no bed bugs.
I got a whole bag of clothes that I took to France last week all from H&M and Zara
Okay, cuz I'd be at H&M and Zara and I'm taking all that back. I know you're taking it back. I kept the tags on and everything
But you didn't wear it though. That's why you didn't wear it
He wore some of them bad things. Alright I love you guys. Y'all have a good morning
Somebody said to me yesterday, talk about why the tag wrinkled. The tag wrinkled cuz I cuz I wore it. I don't take the tag on purpose
What happened last time when you did that right there used to be a store called Bergdorf that used to be here right?
I think Bergdorf, it was Bergdorf that closed right? Yeah Barney's one of them and Charlamagne
Set it on the air his stylists with the ticket back the next day and they wouldn't take it cuz you know
That's not true. They still had to take it back at the tag was still longer than everything
But I tell you this, I cried.
Because see, I'm the opposite of B. Simone.
I cry when I spend too much money
at a place like Bergall Goodman.
And at least she don't take stuff back to H&M.
She feel bad because she gotta go shopping
and you're taking back.
I take stuff back to everywhere, every dime count.
I know, I swear.
I've been unemployed four times.
I done had to collect unemployment checks.
I take it back.
I'm not gonna wear it ever again, so what's wrong with me?
Charlamagne, it was white linen.
There's no way that that is crispy white. you wore it like there's no way that it's
No, how much you want back?
That's stupid that was a stupid decision I mean, but guess what? Man, suck my ****. What's up, brother? How you doing? What? What's up, man?
Happy Pride. Happy Pride.
Keep your ditty away from me, Playboy.
Oh, Sean Stone.
Yo, Sean.
He said, bless you. Oh, my goodness.
Happy Pride, Sean. What's up, man?
I'm sorry to be able to excite you.
You got so excited when I said that. I'm sorry, brother.
Stop.
No, no, I wasn't excited.
And just since you wanted to put her thing in my mouth and I get excited for me
What is going on?
I'm all over the place right now with that problem
I wasn't expecting that just I know I don't know why you would say something like that. Do you Sean? Oh my goodness? I'm traumatized
I got anxiety.
Alright, well get it off your chest, come on.
Well peace and blessings.
Good morning Jess, good morning Evie.
Good morning. Happy Pride.
Good morning to that other guy at the bar, the AV, I'm not a gay dude.
Why you say Happy Pride to me?
I didn't say you are.
Just say it, Happy Pride man.
What do you want Sean Sean? Listen, man.
Sean, man, stop talking crap out of your mouth.
You just said that the series would have never
mattered because Halliburton got injured, bro.
How do you know that?
I don't think it would have mattered in game seven.
I think OKC was on.
It was up by 20 plus.
It was like 28, almost 30 at one point.
But also, Indiana was sticking around.
If Halliburton didn't get hurt, we would have seen a good series in a better series you can't
Better game. Yeah, we just in a better game. I think so, too
Well, what I'm saying is I notice you always hate on light-skinned people
But then also you did Westwood Club court last Friday hate on light-skinned people. And? That's all I'm saying. So? You know what I mean? It's a stop that. And?
But then also you did
the Breakfast Club court last Friday.
And even though I do agree with some of the things
that you were saying,
I think you were wrong in the situation.
And I'm gonna tell you how you was wrong in the situation.
How was I wrong?
When the hostess was looking at you
to see if you want that guy to get a drink,
you're the one that told the hostess, yeah, pour him a drink.
So because you tell the hostess to pour him a drink,
now this guy think he's entitled to grab bottles and pour himself a damn drink.
I totally, I totally disagree.
But you know, I'm not about to sit here and argue with you about this.
Hey, it is what it is, man.
And it's so funny, you know, whatever you tell gay people
when they're doing something wrong, Jess,
they always quick to say you're homophobic.
I remember Trav used to call up here all the time
and try to say Jess and Larry was homophobic.
But look at him now, all over Jess.
Mm-mm-mm, Jess, take your t-shits out of his mouth, please.
That's crazy, I ain't never know tramps had that.
And Jess is not homophobic.
Not at all.
I know that, but she's other phobics, but not f**ked.
Uh-uh, don't do it.
Alright, alright, goodbye, goodbye. Have a great day. Goodbye.
Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
With the fool?
Please, no.
We got the latest with Lauren coming up.
What are we talking about Lauren?
Yeah, we can do Jay Z Beyonce performing for the first time in seven years and a little
dig that people think he took at Kanye.
Okay, I like that.
Okay, yeah.
Period.
I ain't know that, okay.
All right, we'll get into that when we come back as The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. the breakfast club. So over the weekend, Beyonce took her tour to Paris and of course all of the celebrities
popped out, but one of the biggest names that people were excited to see, he's at every
tour stop, but Jay-Z actually came out on stage with Beyonce in Paris.
Now this is a big deal for several reasons.
It has been seven years since they have performed on stage together.
So first of all, let's take a listen to Jay-Z coming out to Drunk in Love.
That's not Drunk in Love. That's crazy in love. That's crazy in love. Crazy. You know, she got dangerous
in love, crazy in love and drunk. Yes. Well, the point of playing the performance clips
between the two of them was the fact that when he came out, it was a surprise that a
crowd went crazy. Again, he's been at the other tour stops, but he has not been on stage.
So that happens. He comes on stage and perform a few songs and then he goes into n words in Paris while in Paris
And people think he took a little dab here at Kanye West. Let's take a listen
That was not a day literally just substitute literally just substituted Ye name for his wife's name.
You caught it, yes.
It's her concert.
Exactly, which makes a lot of sense and that is what performers do.
But you know that there was the whole Kanye West getting online with the tweets about
the kids and then Mama Tina made her comments or all that.
So people felt like this was him finally getting his revenge back but I don't feel like it.
Just switching out the thing.
And by people you mean Twitter of course.
Oh yeah the fans were going crazy.
They were so even not even Twitter you got I'm looking at Yahoo.com right now all of
the outlets also talked a lot about this because I mean they need the story they need the headline.
But in other news while all this was, there was another fan theory that was working
this way.
Now this one was an ex theory because Nicki Minaj was online all weekend long talking
about or alleging that Roc Nation has silenced her fans in an effort to get her out of here
basically.
Who the hell can silence them damn bars?
Nobody can silence them.
What are we talking about here? Well, so let's back it up so Nikki Minaj did a verse on the Carter
Six the bonus version of the album it's called Band From N.O. the remix let's take a listen to her verse So she says, NFL fire some N words and then call us.
Now the song is called band from no band from
New Orleans and you know, they're throwing shots at the NFL because you know, remember Nikki Minaj
spoke out when little Wayne didn't get his chance. Yep, at Super Bowl. So she's on Twitter all weekend
and she's hashtagging as she's are mentioning as she's doing some of these tweets, NFL fire some
n words and then the phone for call us. So she said, they don't want you to see it when I'm liking. So that
feature was demolished listening devices, cameras, car tags, pages you don't follow
under the following section of x. Hmm, how do I get paid for that? Then she starts talking
about she starts talking directly to the barbs and she's saying barbs save all info on every
time you get flagged or suspended and what platform it is on. Then she started retweeting fan theories alleging different alleging basically Jay-Z's role
in X Steel and after selling it to Jack Dorsey and all these things as well.
But she's clearly insinuating that her fans are being silenced because some of the fans
were tweeting her and saying whenever they would get online to defend her or if they
would hashtag the band from an old song, the algorithm would, you wouldn't
see it as clearly if we pushed down Shadow Band or you just couldn't simply upload it.
So they now, I say all that because people think that Jay-Z coming out on stage with
his wife in Paris to do N words in Paris was to distract from all of this Nicki Minaj stuff.
Y'all are ridiculous.
I wanted to say something though.
If rock nation controls all of social media,
how come they can't stop everybody on social media
from spreading all the negative stories about them?
About Beyonce and Jay-Z.
About Rock Nation, period.
If I was Rock Nation and I could suppress stories,
wouldn't I suppress stories about myself?
All of them.
Wouldn't that make more sense?
Can we just salute Ho Do,
the fact that he came from Brooklyn
and performed at that show and it went stupid. It was ape-ish and then the fact that everybody was singing every word, every line.
Can we just talk about that for a moment?
Wow.
Keep in mind he's a 55 year old man whose first album came out in 1996 and he's getting
that kind of love in another country and hasn't put out anything new since 2017.
Listen.
Let's talk about that.
There were fan videos when he walked out because again they didn't know he was coming out on stage people literally dropped their phones. They they were just so in y'all it looked so great
I was on Tim's
Kelly Rowland's husband. I was on his story. Yo, it was it was crazy. Yes
They were in the the the sweet intersection with Cardi B. Yep. Yep. Yeah, yeah
From there. I'm sure I don't know who's it was but they were all together They were in a I'm sure. I don't know whose it was, but they were
all together. They were in a riser together. I don't know whose it belonged to. They were there.
Either way, it looked good from that section, you know, from, from, it was crazy or whatever, man.
Harris, it was lit up and those people, he act like it was the whole tour. Like when he came out,
it was different. Yeah. I can't remember the last time I seen him on stage, so I can see why that
was a long time. But I think it was dope too too because he was just in New York at the fanatics thing
So people thought he was still there. So the fact that he came out was even more of a surprise
I don't think anybody was watching that and congratulate you mentioned Cardi B
I think Cardi B her record with number one on Apple music this week
Drop a bomb for Barney. Yes, they pulled her into the conspiracy too
They said that that's why she was there to help them distract from the fact because her record just did so well.
Cardi was in Cannes performing for Spotify. So many people left from Cannes to go watch
Beyonce and Paris on that. I think she performed this whole weekend. Yeah I'm bugging.
She been out since Thursday.
And y'all talk about the crowd and how crazy the crowd went. The reports are that there
were 70,000 people in that crowd of fans and that it was a sold out show.
I love it. Salute to Beyonce, Hov and that was I love it. I love seeing I just loved
I love the energy that that that show gave I mean
Yes, I was there and in the next hour
I know Nicki Minaj also mentioned Shannon sharp on that song as well, too

Now the NBA finals ok see beat the paces
103.91 now Halliburton was injured in the first quarter. I think they believe it's an Achilles injury so he is out.
So salute to OKC. Now also Kevin Durant has been traded to the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets
are sending Jalen Green, Dylan Brooks the number 10 pick in a 2025 draft and five second round picks
for KD.
So KD is now playing for Houston.
I wonder why they just didn't stick with their young core and continue to watch their young
core grow.
Like, like, do you really want to get rid of a 23 year old Jalen Green for a 37 year
old Kevin Durant?
Does Kevin Durant make them a contender?
Nah, I mean they were already in the playoffs.
They went to what?
The second round in the playoffs?
They did pretty good last year, but and congratulations to Travis Hunter
He of course he was the number two overall pick in the 2025 draft
He signed a four-year 46 million dollar rookie contract including a 30 million dollar signing bonus
So congratulations to him. Okay young man at 30 million dollar signing bonus
That's a lot of money do the right thing with it know that you only well here in Florida. He ain't got no state tax
Oh, look at God. Oh my God. That's amazing. What's
up Morgan? Hey, ah, hey. So let's get back into the details on the strikes on Iran's
nuclear facility. So the Pentagon says the bombing of Iran's nuclear sites, nickname
operation midnight hammer was the largest B2 bomber bomber strike in U.S. history. The U.S. struck three Iranian
nuclear facilities, including the Fortified Fordow facility. In addition to the Natanz
and Isfahan facilities, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Cain, said the
destruction of the facilities was substantial and more will be known in the coming days.
He added the operation was top secret and very few people in Washington
knew of the plan that involved the U.S. submarines launching Tomahawk missiles. General Kaine detailed
the attack. Let's take a listen to his comments. Final battle damage will take some time, but
initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage
and destruction. The main strike package comprised of seven B-2 Spirit bombers, each with two crew members,
proceeded quietly to the east with minimal communications.
As the Operation Midnight Hammer strike package entered Iranian airspace, the U.S. employed
several deception tactics, including decoys.
So those B-2 bomber pilots are reportedly back in Missouri, according to President Trump.
Israeli attacks have reportedly killed at least 865 people, including civilians and
military personnel.
Retaliatory strikes in Israel have resulted in about 24 deaths.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says President Trump's decision to hit Iran
was bold and brilliant, adding the strikes had nothing to do with the regime change in
Iran and everything to do with Iran's nuclear program ending.
However, President Trump appears to be supporting the idea of a possible regime change in Iran
in a series of posts on Truth Social.
Trump said, if the current Iranian regime is unable to make America great again,
why wouldn't there be a regime change? Now I will add,
there is speculation that Iran may have moved their nuclear materials like
enriched uranium ahead of the attacks, but that has not been confirmed.
That's just speculation at this time because there was warning ahead of the
attacks. Now Congress is reacting and of course it's a mixed bag.
Independent Senator Bernie Sanders was at a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma when he shared
the news of the military action to the crowd calling Trump's actions unconstitutional.
Let's take a listen to his comments.
The only entity that can take this country to war is the US Congress. The president does not have
the right.
Meanwhile, Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mays, who's your homegirl? The Charlemagne
from North Carolina.
South Carolina.
Sorry, South Carolina. I said Trump is the greatest president in American history. Now
appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona said the attack
who, by the way, Mark Kelly also served in our military, he said that the attack could
lead to severe consequences, adding Trump should have come to Congress for authorization.
Let's take a listen to his comments.
We could see terrorist attacks here.
The Iranians still have a lot of proxies.
They could go after us.
The escalatory factor of this action that was taken yesterday is significant. The and show the rest of the world what we already know. It can't get no better than being Hella Black,

such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams,
and bestselling author and MeatEeater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my
kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it
seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for
caves. So join me starting Tuesday May 6th where we'll delve into stories of
the West and come to understand how it helps
inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your
gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley
comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company
dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman and this is Rick Jervis.
We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean,
but the most unforgettable part, our roommate, Reggie Payne,
from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper.
And his stage name, Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name?
Sexy Sweat.
In 2020, I had a simple idea.
Let's find Reggie.
We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone.
In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode.
His mom called 911.
Police cuffed him face down.
He slipped into a coma and died.
I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving.
No headlines, no outrage, just silence.
So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own.

Morgan, this is one of those times
where politicians sound like hypocrites
because Mark Kelly is right,
presidents should get congressional approval,
but there have been a bunch of presidents
who have ordered strikes without congressional approval.
Barack Obama did it against Libya,
Joe Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria
without congressional approval.
Bill Clinton did it to Kosovo, I think you pronounce it. to be a, you know, Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval.
Bill Clinton did it to Kosovo. I think you pronounce it. So president's ordering military
action without congressional approval has become pretty routine. So I so so so so is
it always a thing when they do it? I'm just asking. I don't know.
No, this is where this is where those articles of impeachment come up. And that's why House
Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she actually says that President Trump's decision to
strike Iran could lead to impeachment.
So why didn't, I'm just saying, so why didn't it lead to impeachment for
everybody else? Like when Barack Obama did it, when Biden did it?
But it has, you know, not that it necessarily, well, the people in Congress
or congressional members will call for it. Does it necessarily mean that those,
that they'll move forward with the impeachment process? Not necessarily. But there have been times in the past that these congressional
members have called for impeachment of the president because of their military actions
or actions that they've taken with the military without having that congressional.
I don't even.
It hasn't been as much backlash.
I don't even remember hearing about it during the Joe Biden administration.
I guess that's because the way Trump has been moving. But we haven't heard about it when Obama did it. We didn't hear about it when Biden did it.
I do remember when Obama did it. When Obama did it, I do remember, you know,
people in Congress saying he needed congressional approval and they were making it a thing.
The only reason I know about Biden, because I read an article on NBC News last night
that was literally about this. The headline was,
Presidents Ordering Military Action Without Congressional Approval Has Become Routine. this. The headline was, presidents ordering military action without congressional approval has become routine. And it talked about Biden citing article number two in the Constitution,
which makes the president commander in chief, and I guess basically saying he don't need
congressional approval. And that's when he ordered the strikes in Iraq and Syria.
As far as what is taking place here on the home front and how this impacts us on
immediately,
oil prices are jumping following the US airstrikes on Iran.
US crude oil has gone up more than 2% Sunday evening to $75.60 per barrel.
This comes, of course, as there is uncertainty regarding the oil supply outlook in the Middle
East.
Iranian state media also reported that the country's parliament supported closing the
Strait of Hormuz
According to the Energy Information Administration 20% of the crude oil consumed by the world passes through that straight
Which by the way is located in Iran
So meanwhile the Dow Jones industrial average S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures have all been down
But we will see more of that as the market opens today
So this is more disruptions to that to that straight was the straight of whole Mars or what is it called?
I'm loose. Yeah, it's a gas might jump up to a dollar to a dollar 25 per gallon
Yeah, they're gonna have to release they're gonna have to release some of the reserve to help people out because it's gonna be ridiculous
I mean eight dollars a gallon nobody's gonna be able to drive anywhere or the buses or public transportation everything
I believe that also some of our goods pass through there as well.
So you know, might want to rack up on things that you can if you you know, you're in the
grocery store, you know, just start to say that we won't have toilet paper paper towels
for years.
Paper in the water and all of that.
No, but you know, just just pay attention to what's going on around you and say this
village and out vigilant vigilant vigilant. Yeah, I got to what's going on around you and say this village and out the vigilance vigilance vigilance.
Yeah, I got to keep your eyes on.
Yeah, yeah.
Keep your eyes out.
Keep your eyes on the swivel.

Thank you all so much.
All right.
Thank you, Morgan. Now when we come back from the Big Three,
Ice Cube and Dwight Howard will be joining us.
Don't go anywhere, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
What did he say there?
Because it got to a point at first you was chill
and then you were just like, nah.
He didn't say anything, he just started putting his hands up
like he was gonna start throwing punches.
So I'm like, bro, you did it once, you did it twice.
What's going on?
It was just too much.
Just too much man, we out there hooping.
I just felt bad after, as soon as I grabbed him,
I'm like, man damn, I'm on TV.
I'm with Q, man I don't wanna make him look bad
cause we just got the deal with CBS and everybody.
So I'm like, man, I don't want this to look like what everybody say.
Yeah. He's always fighting on TV.
So I'm like, hey, I mean, it's my big ass and less.
So after that, I called Cuban, you know, let them know, man.
I really apologize for that.
You know, we got to be better than that.
I got to be better.
Q, what were you thinking at first when you seen the fight?
I know he was like, damn, why do you fight?
Then it was like the amount of press to the guy. It was like this is. Yeah, what were you thinking at first? When you seen the fight, I know you was like, damn, why they fighting? And it was like, the amount of press to the guy,
it was like, this is.
Yeah, I mean, you never want.
Competition.
I mean, I love trash talking.
You know, I knew it was gonna get chippy
when they started kind of touching each other.
You know, I don't like that part.
And hey man, it happens.
Look, later on that day, it happened in the WNBA
with two white girls.
So it happens, you know, it's when it's when you know that the passion is there.
Guys want to win, you know, guys still got that chip on their shoulder.
It's still, yeah, you know, it's like, it's pride in the game.
It just went a little overboard.
You know, this is their first game in the league.
So, you know, they got to just learn it. You know, it's their first game in the league. So, you know, they gotta just learn it.
You know, it's a little more physical.
You can trash talk, but we don't want it to go overboard.
You know, Dwight, you talked about being misunderstood in the NBA.
Does the Big Three give you a chance to, like, I guess rewrite your legacy
on your own terms a little bit?
I just have another outlet to play basketball,
and I'm very thankful for Q for just giving me that opportunity.
So I know I've done what I've had to do in the NBA, not trying to go back and rewrite
anything dealing with the NBA, but this is a whole new venture and I'm glad to be a part
of it with Ice Cube.
I watched his movies, I watched so much from Ice since I've been growing up.
So to finally actually be in the same room with him,
to be working with him, you know, it's an honor.
So, you know, be out there on the court again
is a blessing.
I played since I was three,
but to come back again at 39,
still feel great about playing is awesome.
So I'm just thankful that he's made an outlet
and a platform for all of us to continue our
career because a lot of times when we get out of the league, they just kick us out.
It's like y'all didn't even play with us.
So I'm just thankful for these opportunities.
Now you haven't officially retired from the NBA.
No I haven't.
Do you look at the NBA and be like, I'm better than him?
I do.
I'm way better than him.
I'll be like me.
Do you feel that when you look at the league sometimes?
Yeah, but then I had to realize it's not about who's better and who's not better.
It's just what a team wants at a certain time.
And they might not need a 39-year-old player on their team.
They might want somebody younger who might not have the same name or anything like that
who if they lose or win it can be like hey I just
this the player I drafted I ain't get the white Howard you know I'm saying so
it's tough to look at it like damn I know I can beat him but you can't look at it like that
it's ageism you know it's everywhere and you know we should start looking at
people not how old they are but can they do it or not. Skill level. Can you do it or not because you know we got youngsters out there too you know in the big
three is 22 and up so we got youngsters out there that can't do it and we got guys out
there that's in their 30s that can still do it and like that's all we care about.
Can you put the ball in the hoop?
Can you pass dribblebble, and shoot,
and defend at a high level?
And what do aides gotta do with it?
And congratulations too, man, Hall of Fame.
Appreciate it, man.
That's right.
Well deserved.
It's crazy though,
because you got one of the most decorated resumes
in NBA history,
but for whatever reason it was a debate.
It seemed like it was a debate
on whether or not the White House
should be in the Hall of Fame.
Like what do you think people were missing? What did they not understand?
I just think that a lot of times the era that I played in, social media became a thing.
So once rumors or situations started to happen away from the court, I think that kind of
shifted the attention of what I did as a basketball player to all
the BS and that became the forefront of the conversation.
Oh, he got in trouble here.
He did this.
He was fighting with Kobe.
This, that, and the third.
And that don't have nothing to do with my actual resume.
So people start looking at the resume and saying, well, dang, he was a bad teammate
because Kobe said he did this and all these
different things. So I think a lot of that had to do with that. And then, you know, there's
a situation that I put myself in, you know, that people have taken that and said, you
know, maybe this is why he is not as talked about. But I just feel like all that is excuses
because other players and they've had issues and stuff on the court that still hasn't stopped them from getting their respect on the court
and what they've done as players and stuff so I just think it's BS. So if your
Hall of Fame speech had to be written by one of your biggest critics who would
you pick? One of my biggest critics. Yeah and what would you want them to admit
that they had wrong about you? Probably somebody in the sports business like Stephen A. Smith to do it because he knows
most of the players.
I don't think he's going to give a biased opinion.
You know, now he's probably would back when I played, but now my career is basically over
with in the NBA, so he can just go by strictly numbers or whatever it may be.
What reason would he have to give a biased opinion, even back then?
Like why be biased?
I felt like all of them were biased towards the system.
You know, back then with Skip and all of them,
like certain players,
it seemed like they always got the short end of the stick
they always talked about in a bad way.
And then you got some players who they don't get that,
you know, that same treatment.
Now they always talk about your relationship with Kobe
and off again, on again, and how you guys were,
why do you think that is so detailed
with your career so much?
Like, he just talked about all your half-lades,
he just talked about all the things that you did,
but that relationship seems like for most is everything,
but Kobe had his stuff as well too.
Man, man, this man was teammates for one season.
And that's crazy.
So it's like, how are you gonna compare our relationship
to Kobe and Shaq or anybody else?
We didn't have time, you know what I'm saying?
So I think it was just, they needed a scapegoat
when I was with the Lakers and it gotta be somebody.
They ain't gonna blame Kobe.
It should have been Steve Nash.
That should have been Skagg Goat.
He the one came and got hurt, he ain't won.
Yeah, he missed most of the whole season.
Every time he was thrown off from there.
Yeah, I came with the Lakers off of herniated discs.
I was supposed to miss the whole season
when I came to the Lakers.
I missed four, well, I came back in four months.
I had a torn labrum that year.
I still played.
So it's like they took all of my issues
and made it seem like the whites the problem for this team.
And instead of me speaking up about it,
I just let it ride, because I'm like, what am I?
I don't need to go back and forth
with tell people like, no, it wasn't my fault.
I didn't do this.
I just feel like once you do that,
it kind of makes you seem I didn't do this. I just feel like once you do that,
it kinda like makes you seem like you was the issue.
So I'm like, man, whatever city I go to next,
I'ma just ball out.
If we win, we win.
If we don't, I did my job.
All right, we got more with Ice Cube and Dwight Howard
when we come back.
So don't move, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
JNV, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Dwight Howard and Ice Q. Jess. What's your
relationship like with Shaq these days? What the hell what happened with you with Shaq?
How did that start? I have no idea. I know they were saying Shaq was upset about the
nickname that you did. Superman? yeah he says you
he make himself Superman or did was that something that was given to him by everybody else? He was the man of steel. Is that Superman?
Yes.
Come on, man.
So he got the man of steel.
He got all the nicknames.
Hey, man, I didn't even name myself Superman.
I went in the dunk contest, did the dunk contest
with Superman outfit on, and everybody
started saying Superman after that.
It wasn't No Knock at Shack.
Really, it was Soulja Boy, if you want to keep it a bean. Soulja Boy. Soulja Boy did it first. Soulja Boy. If you wanna keep it a bean.
Soulja Boy.
Soulja Boy did it first.
Soulja Boy had the Superman song
and that was my favorite song
because everybody know I'm known for dancing
and doing the Soulja Boy all the time.
So I'm doing it every day in practice.
I dunked over my teammate one day
and everybody was like, man, you really Superman.
We gonna call you Superman.
It had nothing to do with Shaq.
You know what I'm saying?
I guess he took that as saying,
as being disrespectful,
but why would I be disrespectful to somebody
who paved the way for all of us bigs, you know?
We pay homage and honor to the ones who came before us,
but when it's our time, we gonna get out there and go.
So when I'm playing Shaq, I'm going at him.
I'm talking, you ain't Superman no more, I'm Superman.
Whatever it may be, because it's competition.
But as soon as we step off the court,
that's my brother, that's the OG, you know what I'm saying?
I think people kinda took that as a disrespect
and I have nothing but love for Shaq.
So even now, the last time I saw him,
we got a chance to chop
it up and finish the beef or whatever it was and now we good.
Cube, I'm glad you didn't hold none of this against the white, okay, between the Shaq
and the other stuff.
Nah, whatever they did in the NBA, they're forgiving, you know what I mean? Come on and
rock with the big three. It's really know, seeing these guys play at the highest
level, you know, for the fans, you know, I don't, I don't do this for me because I can
spend a lot less money if I did, but it's for the fans, you know, it's for, you know,
the people who sit around after the finals looking for something to do, waiting for the
NFL to start and now they got the big three.
So I'm just glad, you know, a player of his stature
came to our league, does a lot for our league.
You know, I wish more guys, you know what I mean?
More superstars come to the league, you know,
when they, you know, done playing in the NBA,
you know, give us a year or two, you know,
to help blow this up for, you know, for the future,
for players who are not superstars, for players who don't
end the game on their own terms.
They get kicked out basically or they say, we don't have a place for you.
And so some of them got to go overseas.
Most of them do.
A lot of our guys play overseas all over the world, but they want to play at home, you
know what I mean?
In front of, you know, their fans, in front of their friends, in front of their kids,
momma daddy, grandmama coming to the game.
So you know, I'm just happy that he came to play with the Big 3.
Now at one time you had, there were certain things that you had to do to play in the league,
right? You had to get to be over 22, you have to have NBA experience. Have you changed that at all? Oh
Yeah, we have you know, and now it's 22 and up and
So doesn't matter if you played in the league or not
No, it doesn't matter because what we realize is three on three is its own sport
You know, it's it's different than five on five.
No, five on five. You can be a specialist, you know, you could be a rebound guy,
defensive guy, or a three point guy.
But in three on three, you gotta have all around skills.
You gotta be able to pass, dribble, shoot, and defend at a high level.
And so we realized like, we need to create our own athletes, our own
superstars, because
there's some people who they wasn't good in the five on five NBA, you know what I mean?
But they're great in the big three and vice versa.
Some guys were great in the NBA, but when they get to the big three, they get locked
up.
So it's its own sport.
So we need to create our own athletes.
Now also, I noticed that, you know, we talked about the last time you were here, that it it's its own sport. So we need to create our own athletes.
Now also I noticed that, you know, we talked about it last time you were here, that it
felt like the NBA and other leagues were kind of following your guide, right?
Meaning it's not just a three-point line anymore.
The NBA is thinking about doing a four-point line and things like that.
Do you think they following, watch what you're doing and try to mimic what you're doing?
Definitely.
You know, we changed the game in a lot of ways.
You know, we got a running list, you know what I mean?
You know, I got to pull up the list,
but it's a few things we've been clocking, you know,
and it's more than 20.
And so that means we're changing the game for the better.
And so it's great because we feel like
we have some great rules.
We have great innovations, but they're all designed for the big three for the three on
three game.
And so the NBA take a few things cool with that.
I'm gonna take a lot from them too.
So you know, it's mutual.
And you know, at the end of the day, it's really all about
making sure people love the basketball that's being played and the big three, we play the game the right way.
No one to ask you, Q, what do you think the NBA fears most about the big three?
Is it the format?
Is it the independence or just the influence y'all have with like retired
stars like the white?
I really think it's the independence.
You know, um, they, they think they own basketball.
You know, but kids don't run out and say,
mom, I'm gonna go play the NBA.
You know, they run out and say, I'm gonna go play basketball.
So it's owned by all of us.
And the fact that we do things to change the game,
to make our game better, you know,
we ain't trying to change the NBA.
So I think they don't like that we,
we're forward moving.
You know, we was the first to embrace mental health.
We was the first league to embrace CBD use.
The first league to have a lady coach men
and coach to a championship so
We've been first in these places where they should have been and and I don't think they dig that
You know at the end of the day now
How do you stay focused with you just me you're that mental health?
But how do you stay focused with everything that goes on in your life?
And it seems like everything's always on the net
How do you still focus on pulling up and playing basketball all the time, training and your
family?
Like how do you keep all the BS out of your head?
Stay off the internet for one.
You never off the internet.
You always responding.
No that's not, well be quiet.
You got a ghost Twitter?
I might.
But no I'm not a person that wants to get too heavily involved with what people are saying
because I know people are going to talk and they're going to have an opinion and that
could keep you from getting your goal in life.
So sometimes I've always cared about what people say too much and lately I just been like man
I'm gonna just stay off all this stuff focus on what I gotta focus on which is
my children my health my spirit and keep moving forward and people gonna always
talk I hate it I hate being on the net sometimes but it is what it is I can't
do nothing about it. You were up out dancing every once in a while. I saw you mess that dance up with Steve from Milwaukee.
Oh lord.
Uptown, downtown.
I said, why are you doing that?
I can't move my knee like that.
Yeah, talk about you known for dancing.
I am known for dancing, bro.
Not that dance.
Well, you're 39 now.
The dancing back then was the Nae Nae,
the Snap.
Soulgy boy, the Snap.
All that stuff.
All this Nu-A stuff, my knees is not capable of doing that.
Because it's not in your DNA. All that stuff is from Atlanta.
Yeah, that's not from Atlanta. That's Midwest.
Well, speaking of Atlanta, you know I gotta ask, because I'm the woman in the room.
Are you legally married to my girl, Amy Luciani?
That's not her name, but...
Amy Luciani, your name?
No, that's her stage name.
She is definitely a rapper. She is an artist actually.
So that's a rap name. Are you legally married to her? We are. Okay. I had to ask because you know it was reported that you guys were but it was never no confirmation or anything like that so I want to know.
Oh yeah. I saw a way some rumors but just keep that side of my life private so everybody ain't got nothing to say. Keep that private and keep it moving.
Well, what's her name since that ain't her name?
Amber.
Amber Rose.
But you know that is her rap name though.
Correct.
He said, do you know?
He said, I know.
I'm just saying, I mean, because he told me that ain't her name.
I mean, that's what we know.
I mean, because we listen to our music.
Are you married to Amber Rose?
Not that one.
I know, but that's what we know me cuz you married em rules not double. I know but that's the headline
All right, we got more with ice cube and Dwight Howard when we come back it's the breakfast club
Good morning. Good morning. Everybody is DJ, Envy, Jess,
Hilarious, Charlamagne, The Guy, we are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with
Ice Cube and Dwight Howard.
Kaitlyn Clark you said you were gonna have her on the big three if you could have made
it happen.
Were you gonna change the whole league for that?
What do you mean by change the league?
Cause Kaitlyn.
She's the woman say it.
No cause Kaitlyn Clark is the woman.
I mean what can you do to change the league?
No cause she's the only woman that you have in the league.
Don't foul her too hard.
No, no, no, no, no. You gotta be able to play.
Like, we wouldn't have did nothing different.
Either she could have been able to play at that level or not, you know.
Kaitlin Clark is not backing down the White Outward, man.
No, no, she's not that kind of player, you know.
She's a small, you know, kind of point guard.
We've had the only reason why it even is a thing because we had small guys get loose.
You know, Mahmoud Abdur-Raouf, Nate Robinson, they got loose in our league.
So we felt like a player like that could get loose if they, you know, we couldn't say she couldn't play.
Like it ain't up to us
to say you can't play you got throw the basketball out and see what happened and
you know so we made the offer it didn't happen and we moved on CC
the true shack is gonna walk you out for your hall of fame speech that what he
said I called all today said hey big fella you want me gonna walk you out for your Hall of Fame speech? That what he said. I called him the other day. He said, Hey, big fella, you want me to walk you out?
No, but yeah, he's supposed to.
You said you wanted him, KG, and Kareem.
Kareem Olajuwon.
Kareem Olajuwon, okay.
Yeah. I love Kareem. I really would love Kareem to be there,
all the big man goats. I still have Kareem as my goat.
I don't know why people never talk about him like that, but as far as strictly basketball,
what he did from high school, college, NBA,
you can't name too many people
that got a better career than him.
And he had two names to do it with.
So he killed with one name,
then came back and did it again with another name, and he don't
get talked about.
So I guess it's because he a big man.
The big man until recently hasn't really been looked at as a skilled position almost.
Why not?
I don't know.
Because the Keem Elijah one was super skilled.
That has.
It has with Patrick.
It has with Spurs, David Roberts, and Tim Duncan.
Patrick was skilled like Keem and Kareem.
Who wasn't?
Patrick was.
Patrick was skilled.
Not like Keem and Kareem.
Well, how could you say Kareem was skilled?
He just had the right hand hook.
That was FNAF though.
But you said skill.
Skill mean right hand, left hand, drop shot.
Patrick dropped step, turn around, jump shot, fade away.
Patrick had skills.
Patrick Chua had everything.
Remember the big old shoes he had too?
Yeah.
Hakeem had a bag though.
Hakeem had a bag.
He did.
He did have a bag.
He was playing basketball.
He was playing basketball.
He was playing basketball.
He was playing basketball.
He was playing basketball.
He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. Remember the big old shoes he had too? Yeah. Hakeem had a bag though.
Hakeem had a bag.
He did.
He did have a bag.
He was probably one of the coldest centers.
But the most dominant center gotta be Shaq.
Yeah Shaq, of course.
Now Ice Cube, I'm not gonna lie, I'm right here.
I'm fangirling.
I'm like starstruck to even be sitting here with you.
I wanna know, am I gonna ever get a chance
This clown y'all
Want to audition for one of the Q vision projects coming up? I don't even know if you even shoot your shot coming up
I'm letting you know I'm here. I got if you looking for some some pictures, I got some movie ideas. No problem
Now let her you know do it right, you know saying we got some right with
You know
Yeah, I don't play basketball so I can never be in the big three but I definitely act.
Yeah that's right.
No problem.
Alright thank you.
Now how can they get tickets to support you and make sure they hit all these...
Hold on I got two more questions.
One for Q, one for Dwight.
What do you hope Dwight will do?
I mean what do you hope Dwight joining the league will do for the big three?
You know more attention.
You know for the league more, you know more, you know from from everybody that love basketball, you know from the fans
to the sponsors to you know, everybody that
You know, we need to make this happen. So, you know you get a superstar like Dwight
You got a lot of eyeballs on on the league, you know
eyeballs on the league you know I don't condone fighting but the fight did put a lot of you know you know we was viral as hell this week yeah you know
but the thing is you know it's about it's about the game you know it's not
you know the antics will only go so far, you know, but the game is great.
People, you know, it seems fun to play and fun to watch,
you know what I'm saying?
So that's what it's all about.
And Dwight, we see you do a lot of commentary now.
Do you feel a responsibility to reintroduce your story
and your own words?
I just think it's a different chapter,
a new chapter in my story.
There's no way I can go back and change anything that has ever happened in my past.
And you know, I can't do that, you know, but what I can do is just this next chapter of my life is make it better than my last chapter, you know.
My last chapter was really great. I had some great things happen. And I had some misfortunate things happen as well.
But, you know, I'm still here today.
And I'm very grateful to be a part of the Big Three.
You know, I've also always wanted to come on the Breakfast Club.
So to be here, you know, is awesome as well, man.
It's a dream come true.
And by playing in the Big Three, it's a chance to really own in more of my skills as a basketball player things that
You know I work on daily or get a chance to do them in the big three
And also, I know you was talking about doing a movie with Q. Yeah
It's cool, you know I get everybody shot I got a long line shot. You know what I'm saying? I know. I know you do, man.

Lauren becoming a straight face.
She gets into somebody that knows
somebody. She gets the details.
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
in it. She be having the latest on this. Okay, so over this weekend, Jim Jones and Shannon Sharp, It was viral online that they went added over a conversation that
originally started on the Joe and Jada podcast with Jim Jones about influence and Jim Jones
being compared to Nas. So let's take a listen to the original comments. Jim Jones talking
to Joe and Jada about his influence.
These kids love me. They don't really know who Nas is. he 22 he's born in 03. My sons can't tell
you one Nas record. Let's keep it a buck because they'll bring it up. There must be some type
of misconception when it comes to Jim Jones and what Jim Jones have done in this game.
So let's not get into that where we get into numbers and I got to show you the statistics
of what I've done. You heard to what other people was done.
You heard and you want to go to the billboard entries, pull up Nas billboard entries and
pull up my billboard entries.
Listen, listen, we can't, we can't prepare the two.
No, no, no, no.
I want to go down the line now because now we going down the line.
No, no, no.
He's a rapper and I'm a rapper.
So these origin, these comments then led to Jim Jones being a guest on Shannon Sharpe's
nightcap by Ocho
Cinco and they got into it over the comments.
Can we address one thing though?
Jim Jones has nine entries in the Billboard 200 with three top ten albums and no number
ones, while Nas has 27 entries, 16 top ten albums and six that have reached number one
on the Billboard 200.
I'm glad you did that because he addressed those entries in that conversation. Let's take a listen to him on Shannon Sharps nightcap
He's singing no rap. You see what I'm saying? Oh, he don't even know about rap
He just doing this for the views to get Jim Jones on there to get him
I was rapping right now. Right now?
No, I wouldn't.
I would run.
I wouldn't.
It's not the clip.
I wouldn't batting around.
It's not the clip.
We need them.
We need Shannon and Jim arguing on Nas.
It's crazy, though.
I wouldn't run circles around Nas rapping right now.
Right now?
No, I wouldn't.
What's the other clip that you have?
Y'all didn't plan this out before him?
We did. It's the best show ever.
It is.
I'm 57. I can't be singing no rap.
See what I'm saying, outro? He don't even know about rap.
He just doing this for the views to get Jim Jones on there to get him high.
I know, hold on.
That's the same clip too.
No, he played a different clip and y'all threw him back to the second clip.
Play the second clip, not this one.
The one where he starts off.
Go ahead. I'm 57. I can't be singing no rap. back to the second clip play the second clip not this one the one where he starts off go ahead
I'm 57 I won't be singing no rap
I will run circles around Nas rapping right now
what now?
Nas put it on the mic
I will run satan around Nas right now rapping everybody knows that
he's retired
that ain't nothing he put it down he said it now
I will run laps around Nas rapping right now bro I'm still in it. Oh, damn. We're smoking his boots.
I wasn't rapping when he was rapping, but can we really got Adam?
You remember?
I really mean it.
We've been getting at them boys, but this is not about that right now.
2025.
I'm in the game.
Still rapping at a high capacity.
If not, what's the smoke coming to booth?
I will wrap.
I'm not going to pass.
I'm not going to pass.
I'm not going to pass.
I'm not going to pass.
I'm not going to pass.
I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to not about that. Right now, 2025, I'm in the game still rapping at a high capacity.
If Nas wants to smoke coming to Booth, I will rap circles around him.
Jim Jones is rapping at a high capacity right now in 2025.
I'm on record as saying I think some of the best music that's been coming out of
New York in recent years has been from Jim Jones.
I haven't seen Nas in that mode.
Nas still makes great music at a high, high, high, high, high level.
I just haven't seen Nas in that, you know, let's get active, getting at each other mode.
They're two different artists though in two different ways of rapping, right?
Oh, I'm not comparing Jim Jones and Nas.
I've never heard of them before.
Okay, so they're two different artists.
But also, you also got to understand what Jim said.
Jim says, I say stuff just to get people talking.
And if you're upset with the way what I'm saying, I appreciate you because my streams
is bumping and people have been talking about me so some of the
stuff that Jim Jones is saying he's just poking the bear just because he wants
people to talk about it. By the way I like it because it might spark something different in Nas. Nas has been putting out some
phenomenal projects with those King's disease albums right like you know but
Nas is rapping about brunch on Sunday which I love because I enjoy brunch on
Sunday but he might activate something else that Nas ain't felt in a
while like somebody calling me out.
You know, competition.
Well, and I posted that in my story.
I said Jim though, what's going on, you just know that he goes viral as well, and it's
all good publicity to him.
So once this started moving, he was posting about, you know, the concerts that he had
coming up and all that.
He understands that, but I think unfairly though, people have been, you know, there's
been a conversation around him because people are like, well, why are you even comparing yourself to Nas?
But he didn't originally have the conversation. There was a podcast that said not even about entries, more so about influence right now who younger kids would know.
Like if you're in the club who you're playing, it was that whole conversation.
I don't know why that's a conversation. Why are people talking about Nas and Jim Jones in the same breath? That doesn't even make sense. But I will say this and part of it is I think
people try to limit and take what Jim Jones has done for the industry and I think Jim
Jones is just fed up because Jim Jones has done a lot. I mean he's put up platinum records,
put up gold records, he helped architect the diplomats. So he's done a lot for the industry
but you can't compare him to. That's not even a fair comparison.
And I wonder how you're supposed to feel about yourself, what do you mean? Yeah?
Yes, I got is Jim Jones like well good, but I'm just not as good as this person
No, he's not I'm the best exactly
Well, I mean we can all disagree like I definitely ranked Nas higher than Jim
But I also understand what Jim is saying like let's talk about right now in this moment
I still think Nas will get him but I haven't heard Nas in that aggressive mode the way I've been hearing Jim.
But I thought Jim was talking more relevancy. I thought Jim was talking about as far as right now in the clubs and everything is out.
He's more relevant to the kids than Nas. That's what you say. He's saying to the kids.
I care about classic. You see, but that's what he was talking about. You see when Jay-Z come out in Paris at 55 years old.
That's what I care about. I don't care about the relevance Jay-Z come out in Paris at 55 years old, that's what I care about.
I don't care about the relevance.
Relevancy is like for the moment stuff.
But that's what the conversation was about.
Yeah, originally it was about relevancy.
But when Jim Jones brought in the Billboard entries,
the conversation shifted.
And he did say on the Shannon Sharp podcast
that he might've kind of over-spoke
when it came to entry conversation,
but relevance, that's what the 22, 23 year old on that
Don't Quote Me podcast was talking about. Like I was influenced by his fashion. We know his songs, we play
him in a club. That's what they were trying to get to.
And by the way, Shannon Sharpe was just arguing because he saw that on the internet. He saw
the internet saying that Jim was bugging. So he was coming with that perspective. Cause
I know damn well Shannon couldn't name five Nile songs.
I think he can name three.
We have that clip, but I don't even know.
I need to hear that. Play that if you got that. name five now songs we have it we have it See what I'm saying? Oh Joe. He don't even know about rap He just doing this for the views to get Jim Jones on there to get him hot
But you don't know you don't know not you gotta check the podcast
You're dealing with the wrong one bro
Nobody want to go to club say say nobody won't buy no VIP tickets to that
You can't hear him because Shannon Trump is yelling over him, but he said he can't even he said, oh, Joe, he can't even name a song.
I believe you can't really hear, but it's in there.
It ended on a good note, though.
They wrapped it up kind of positive where you they were like, you know, people gonna
make this a thing, but it's just us be just talking to be talking music. So, yeah, I don't think it's gonna
be a thing because then after I seen Jim working out, throwing some more shots at him. So I
think it's a little more feelings got into both on both sides. Challenging to get in
the gym, then they start having a gym challenge conversation like the physical gym, you know,
so that's like the barbershop. We go to barbershop. You talk about one thing and then all of
a sudden it turns into a fight later on. I don't know what y'all thought about. That's like the barbershop we go to barbershop y'all talk about one thing and then all of a sudden it turns into a fight later on Yeah, I don't know what y'all thought about that's what I see
I'm not
JZ, no whole hasn't been on it. No is he ain't been on nothing
I like the conversation I do I do like the aggressiveness. I love the fact that they I just want to see them rap
I love rapping rappers, but we'll see but thank you. That's the latest with Lauren. That's all I'm I yes
We're giving a donkey to man for after the hour. There's a 21 year old named Angel Montana
As he needs to come to the front of the congregation
We like to have a word with him if we are if we stay thing like these kids don't want to work boy
He's proving us right. We'll discuss. All right, we'll get to that. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning
He's proving us right. We'll discuss. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater podcast network, hosted by me,
writer and historian, Dan Flores,
and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some
of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests
such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams
and bestselling author and meat eater founder,
Stephen Rinella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say
when cave people were here.
And I'll say, it seems like the ice age people
that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come
to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast hell and gone, I've learned
one thing.
No town is too small for murder.
I'm Katherine Townsend.
I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved
murders.
I was calling about the murder of my husband at the cold case.
I've never found her and it haunts me to this day.
The murderer is still out there.
Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line,
I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned
as a journalist and private investigator
to ask the questions no one else is asking.
Police really didn't care to even try.
She was still somebody's mother.
She was still somebody's daughter. She was still somebody's daughter.
She was still somebody's sister.
There's so many questions
that we've never gotten any kind of answers for.
If you have a case you'd like me to look into,
call the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.
Listen to Hell and Gone Murder Line
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Yes, you are a donkey.
What the hell? What the hell is?
The more you need your donkey, the more you need your donkey.
Some donkey these days just saw themselves.
Charlamagne, give it to him!
Reckless club all day, give it to him!
Oh man, Charlamagne, who you giving donkey to do tonight?
Well, Donkey of the Day for Monday, June 23rd goes to 21 year old Angel Gomez Montanez.
Now that's a name that'll alert ICE.
Now listen, this man was born in 2004.
I got a rule.
I don't argue with people who were born the same year Kanye West's college dropout was
released.
Okay. I'm not going back and forth with anybody who was born the same year TI dropped his
third out merging urban legend.
How do I look debating somebody who just entered the world the year Luda Wayne dropped the
card a 1?
There is nothing to be gained by that conversation.
There is also a theory that youngins that age don't want to work.
That youngins that age have a sense of entitlement. That youngins that age don't want to work. Okay, that youngins that age have a sense of entitlement,
that youngins that age want things handed to them.
Well, Angel didn't disprove any of that, okay?
In fact, Angel might be exhibiting
on why a lot of that is probably true.
Let's go to ABC 13 Eyewitness News for the report, please.
Breaking overnight, the man investigators say
murdered his roommate rather than pay rent is under arrest.
Harris County Sheriff's Office says
that Angel Gomez Montanez was safely taken into custody. No other details published
about this. Montanez is charged with the murder of Christopher Rodriguez Lara,
Lara's mother, telling ABC 13 that Montanez had been living with the family
for free for about three months. When she started to ask him to start
contributing, she says Montanez shot and killed her son Thursday outside the apartment on Butte Creek Road
in North Harris County.
Rest in peace to 18 year old Christopher Lara. You did not deserve that. This young man,
Angel Montanez, was offered a place on this apartment's couch for three months. Three
months you didn't have to contribute to no bills.
Okay, no rent, no nothing,
just freeloading your monkey ass off.
And then when you were told this can't be happening,
we have bills to pay,
you decided to shoot and kill 18 year old Christopher Lara.
This is why you have to avoid unhappy,
unlucky, miserable souls, okay?
This young 18 year old living his best life
with his family, an angel who has family ties with them,
decided to smoke him for no other reason
than his feelings were hurt.
He also tried to shoot the victim's brother.
That's what a nine year old witness reportedly heard
the suspect say, I'm gonna kill all of them.
Here's the thing, if you can come up with a plan
to commit a murder, then you can come up with a plan to commit a murder,
then you can come up with a plan to get a job.
Okay, 21 years old, living rent free for three months.
Do you know what kind of blessing that is?
Everybody out there listening to me right now,
just imagine the kind of cushion you could have for yourself
if you didn't have to pay any bills.
Not one, but three months?
Let me tell you, freeloaders out there, if somebody is blessing you with the opportunity to pay any bills, not one, for three months?
Let me tell you freeloaders out there,
if somebody is blessing you with the opportunity
to not have to pay any bills for any amount of time,
please find a way to make that person's life easier.
Young man, your name is Angel Gomez-Montanez.
I know you had the urge to do some lawn work, okay?
It's in you, all right? I know you wanted to cut to do some lawn work. Okay? It's in you.
All right?
I know you wanted to cut some grass, trim some hedges,
find a cabinet to fix, okay?
There's gotta be a pipe clogged up somewhere.
There was something you could have been doing
in that apartment to make things easier
for the people you was freeloading off.
This is why we can't get rid of Job Corps.
No, no, no.
Okay, the streets need it.
Young men like this don't have nothing else to do.
Can't find a job?
Job Corps would be perfect for him.
Let him go to Job Corps, learn a trade,
get his GED diploma and go out there
and have some money to pay his own bills.
Now look, kids nowadays don't wanna work
is a broad generalization, okay?
I don't even believe it.
Okay, I know plenty of young hustling ass kids,
but these young kids will kill you
It's not a generalization. Okay, these youngins is crazy. All right
I know the prefrontal cortex doesn't fully develop until the age of 25, but my god, all right
Angel you would have never survived in those scrubs era
He would have been in the passenger side of his best friend's ride letting off shots
All right?
But guess what Angel?
All that was from, you know,
all that was a challenge from your family, okay?
When somebody says, yo, you need to go get a job
to help pay some bills, that means you need to get up,
get out and get something, okay?
That's why they was encouraging you to do that.
That's all they wanted. But now you don't have to worry about room and board anymore
because you got a murder charge. Okay, in Texas you going to jail for 99 years of
life and you will have to get a job young man. Okay, food service, laundry,
maintenance, furniture manufacturing. Oh, you gonna get a job in prison and you
gonna give a job in prison. It's just gonna have a blow in front of it.
Please let Remy Ma give Angel Montana the biggest hee-haw

Okay, all right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir
Now let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight85-1051, B. Simone was on her podcast and she was talking about how because
of her financial situation now.
She's not shopping at Bloomingdale's anymore,
she's shopping at H&M.
Let's listen.
This is hilarious.
I feel like there's been so much financial,
just my finances, like the budgeting, you see how I am, nitpicking every little thing.
I've never been like that.
We were in Bloomingdale's yesterday.
I'm like, we have to go to H&M.
And I notice it in me now, just nitpicking.
And it's not even, I just don't have it.
And because I've invested in this app, in this platform,
I don't have the liquid, I got the money.
Not yet.
Not yet, it's coming.
I have it in assets, I have it in jewelry,
I have it in, you know, but it's like the liquid.
I'm used to seeing a certain amount in my account.
Girl, I got H&M jeans on right now.
Literally right now I got H&M jeans on, okay?
And a whole bunch of H&M stuff that you're taking back.
Last week I was in France for business at Cannes or Cannes or whatever. Everything I
took was from H&M and Zara. What are you talking about?
So what is the question? What do we ask people today?
800-585-1051.
You'll be looking good up in that H&M.
You see what I'm saying?
So what is the question? Is shopping at H&M and stores like that, is that a bad thing?
Is that what we're asking?
No, no, that's not a bad thing.
That's the only thing.
Only thing right now.
That is the question.
800, 585, 105, 100.
This is some of the things I don't understand.
Like, with the price of everything going up.
And it's fine to have a couple of nice pieces
if that's what you're into.
But when we got to this place where you can only wear things
once and you got, that's trash and wack.
H&M and Zara is high end to me, okay.
I'm Marshall's, alright.
Before y'all was boycottin' Target,
I get all my t-shirts from Target.
What are y'all talkin' about?
Zara is definitely high end.
It's high as hell, high in price, high.
And not for nothing, Zara's prices went up.
Yes they did.
Zara's prices went up. Zara was a not for nothing, Zara's prices went up. Yes they did. Zara's prices went up.
Zara was a lot cheaper before.
Zara's prices went up.
You want to see your tag?
I got $56 linens.
Okay?
Okay, see that's a linen bag.
$56?
Yeah, $56.
Taking it back.
Left the tag on, damn it.
You're a bird, yo.
You are a bird.
You are a bird.
800-585-1051.
Is shopping at stores like H&M and Zara a bad thing?
I mean you seen her crying and she seemed distraught that she couldn't go to Bloomingdale's.
That is the question.
Now, well you got damn, not a 9-5 either.
She ain't doing them.
Don't even play with her like that.
Listen, no, you gotta really still think about where she was, right?
Because she used to ball out in Balenciaga she used
to ball out in Blanadale she used to be able to do that now to go from that and now you
walk in there you like ah we gotta go to forever 21 or we gotta go to city transit we gotta
go to H&M that's different for you so for her that's different.
I don't feel sorry for her.
I'm not saying.
We should feel sorry but I'm saying we gotta. And B These some only got no kids I could tell right
That stops early when you start having kids and you start seeing college and you start seeing activities
You'd be like man. Just give me a white t-shirt crying over H&M. How let's listen
Who do when we come back
Like that H&M makes you cry
Right now probably okay. what are you talking about?
It's the Breakfast Club go board it.
Pull out your phone.
Call in right now.
Call me.
Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.
Break it down.
800-585-1051.
The Breakfast Club.
If I have the means to do it, I will buy it.
If I don't at the time, I will still buy something cheap and I will still look just as good if
I put on something very expensive.
I will say this though Jess, Charlamagne bought some stuff off of T-Mobile and I tried to
buy some stuff off of T-Mobile and the pockets was in wrong places.
It's different.
There was supposed to be cargo pants,
and it wasn't cargo, there wasn't the right sound,
like a Gordica Trell.
You gotta read the reviews,
and all the vendors on there are not trustworthy.
You gotta read the reviews.
First of all, I love them cargoes I bought from Timo.
Them cargoes was 9.99,
and I didn't care about the pockets,
because I grew up on Gordon Gar-Trell's.
So for me, I felt like I had designs that nobody else had. You ain't gonna never shame me because I love I love shopping at places like Walmart
and you know Target before the boycott and Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Zara and H&M is high
into me. But when I went to France last week, you couldn't tell me I wasn't doing it. And
my H&M linens for $5757. And bought $2,500 bottles.
And left a tag on them to take them back.
Don't know why you did that.
That was stupid.
Right, but I don't think we're missing anything.
I just think that B. Simone wants us to like,
look at it from her perspective, right?
Like she was at one point only wearing and shopping
and playing with his playbugs.
People can't afford eggs right now,
and juice and rinse.
Right, right. Let's go to the phone line. Yeah, we don't relate to you. With juice and rinse.
Right, right.
Let's go to the phone line.
We're not missing anything.
She's missing something.
She's missing it because what Jessa is true, I just want to know who this B. Simone playing
to get sympathy from.
Like, are you crying over H&M?
H&M, we love H&M.
Like, that's what we do.
Maybe other celebrities can relate to her.
I'd gather.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Tracy. Tracy? Yes. Hey Tracy. How are you?
What do you think? Uh to be some more comment? Yeah
That's right, you're right
People, if people get snatched up on a live, if we worried about we can't shop at Bloomey's, really?
Yeah.
You absolutely right.
I understand.
Thank you very much.
Good morning, who's this?
Good morning, it's Maniah.
How are y'all?
Hey, Niam.
What do you think of B. Simone's comments?
I feel like there's nothing wrong with it.
It's like, you going to blow a bag on a bag,
and you can even put $20 in it.
Like, what's the point?
Like, for you to show off? Like, no, she a bag on a bag, you can even put $20 in it. Like what's the point? Like for you to show off?
Like no, she better go on BHK and get it all the knockoffs.
You know, we love to spend money
to impress people that we don't even know.
Which I don't understand.
I don't understand people that would rather look like money
than actually having money, but.
Have money, exactly, there's no point.
To show it off and you only gonna wear one. you said uncle Charlotte take that back I got a bunch
of H&M and Zara stuff right now you can go on my Instagram I posted it last
night yeah I got the tags still on it because I'm taking it back so what are
we talking about and that's I think they came from a TN MSR I love H&M and Zara
but I'm still taking it back. I want them $56 back
Thank you for calling
Girl yes And if you went over there and all that stuff and took your pictures you ain't gonna wear no more
That's right. Good morning. Who's this?
What up Chris, how are you? What's good, man? What up? What'd you dig a B Simone's comments? Oh man
Like that's petty stuff now. I just want to shut out my white stuff.
Love his art design.
She's a wedding coordinator.
She does live-size feet and chart.
She do table numbers.
Does she make clothes?
Huh?
Does she make clothes? She make H&M, H&M. Okay. Okay. I was born in the projects in Brownsville. I was just happy to be in the projects.
I was just happy to be in the projects.
I was just happy to be in the projects.
I was just happy to be in the projects.
I was just happy to be in the projects.
I was just happy to be in the projects.
I was just happy to be in the projects. She's crying about, you know, petty stuff, man. We got people out here dying from hunger.
I understand.
I was just, I was born in the projects in Brownsville.
I was just happy to get up out of that.
You know what I mean?
I was crying every day to get out of that, you know?
Listen, I've been unemployed four times.
I done collected unemployment checks.
So when you ask me why I'm taking back the H&M
and Zara stuff that I wore last week in France,
that's why, because every penny counts.
And maybe that's just my own trauma, but listen.
Oh wow.
I don't play them games at all.
Call us right now 1-800-585-1051.
What do you think of B. Simone's comments
as The Breakfast Club?
The Breakfast Club.
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show,
The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne the God, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious.
We are discussing B. Simone's comment that she made recently in regards to H&M.
Let's listen.
I feel like there's been so much financial, just my finances, like the budgeting.
You see how I am nitpicking every little thing.
I've never been like that.
We were in Bloomingdale's yesterday.
I'm like, we have to go to H&M.
And I notice it in me now, just nitpicking.
And it's not even, I just don't have it like, and because I've invested in this app, in
this platform, I don't have the liquid, not the money.
Not yet. It's coming. I have't have the liquid. I got the money. Not yet.
Not yet, it's coming.
I have it in assets, I have it in jewelry,
I have it in, you know, but it's like the liquid.
I'm used to seeing a certain amount in my account.
I don't have any sympathy for, none whatsoever.
I understand.
Because I love H&M, you know,
and I literally got on H&M jeans right now.
And I got a whole bag of H&M and Zara stuff
that I wore last week when I was in France.
To me, that's fancy.
Wearing H&M and Zara is fancy.
And guess what?
I left the tags on it.
Cause I'm taking it back.
It is going back today.
So I don't know who B. Simone is planning
to get sympathy from.
And you know what's so crazy to me, Just?
We, the people are the reason that we're in the positions
that we're in.
Yeah.
And she's a stand up comic, right?
Yes, she is.
If your audience feels like they can't relate to you
in no way, shape or form,
and they feel like you look down upon them because-
You don't lose them.
Because, exactly.
Like, damn, B, like why did she even put that out?
Because there shouldn't be a disconnect at all.
No.
And working hard people, like people that work hard and buy tickets
They're the ones that that we need
You know what I'm saying? We need them to keep buying tickets and to keep supporting us and to keep streaming our
Podcasts and things like that. So working-class people. So it's like what are you willing to sacrifice now for your future?
I'm sorry. You can't shop at Bloomingdale's's right now and I'm sorry H&M makes you cry. I understand. I just think that she was trying to get sympathy or not. I think it was a conversation
between her and her former best friend or whatever and yeah she did put that out. She
put it out herself. There ain't really much I can say about that after she put it out.
I just think that she didn't expect this response and I think other celebrities are probably who she would be trying to relate
to I guess. I think she need to grab her fan and put her boots on the ground because if
you don't humble yourself, God will. Yeah. Let's go to the phones. Good morning. Who's
this? Good morning. It's the dog, Marilyn. Oh, El. How are you, sir? What's up? I'm doing well, how are you?
What do you think of B. Simone's comments?
My first initial thought is you gotta be trolling,
and maybe that's a no, but then if you're not,
that's what you call first world problems.
Because, for example, you can't shop at Bloomingdale's,
which I don't think most of them ever used to shop there,
unless it's like for a special event.
But it made me think of what Taraji said last week
about more money, more issues,
because that's not something that's telling me.
So I think she's trolling.
But I feel that though,
because depending on what you have,
like I was also thinking about 50, son.
Like there was people complaining about what he was getting,
but once you're used to something,
I guess it'll be hard to go to something
that's not what you're in.
But we don't care
Yeah, like you know, hey people I can barely can afford groceries people out here struggling to pay rent
We don't care that you can't shop at Bloomingdale no more
Well, have a great day my brother good morning who's this
What's up tape what you think of B Simone's comments?
I would not be that type.
She shouldn't do that.
Be that way, but she's smart.
And I think she'll learn how to pivot.
Hopefully, she'll try to talk to her,
and she'll realize she could just set her down
and don't worry about that, really.
Because I'm a all-in-the-city trend girl.
I make the clothes.
The clothes don't make me.
There you go.
So I'm a girl with a white t-shirt and some cute little jeans.
And I'm all right. Long as my money straight. That's all I see. Now you're talking. I'd rather actually have it than
look like I got it. Yeah. Yeah. I count your blessings. It all come like it's coming the way
it's supposed to come. Everything's gonna fall in place just the way it's supposed to. Yeah.
You just be a little patient and it should be okay. Show me how good it can get today, God, and show the rest of the world what we already know.

Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat
Eater podcast network hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores,
and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a
West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser
known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such
as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and
meat-eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where
they'll say when cave people were here.
And I'll say, it seems like the ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity
for caves.
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come
to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts.
The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life.
I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis.
We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part?
Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor
and aspiring rapper.
And his stage name?
Sexy Sweat.
In 2020, I had a simple idea.
Let's find Reggie.
We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone.
In February, 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode.
His mom called 911.
Police cuffed him face down.
He slipped into a coma and died.
I'm like thanking you, but then I see my son's not moving.
No headlines, no outrage, just silence.
So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own.
Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I
Want to get to see Martin
There
Okay, I got a small idea
I think y'all should do like clippers and I want to Friday or something just small because of the stuff that I can hear We thought y'all just think a little funny things and you get somebody calling in the day
or something doing a little small little clipping,
because I just be taking about a little thing
and y'all just stand up though.
And I say that to be, you gotta be there.
Yeah, that's hilarious.
That's why we do it.
It's called Weekend with the Breakfast Club.
And it's like a condensed version of the show from the week.
It's been airing, you know, about 12 years now.
Yeah, I'm trying to get down for production, y'all.
Can y'all call me?
But for real, I got some good ideas.
We need y'all.
I'm serious.
OK.
Look, give me information on that, too, y'all.
I told her the lie.
I'm telling you.
I'm a good thing.
Well, we're going to put you on hold, OK?
OK.
Yeah.
All right, have a good day.
Yo, what I think is crazy, because yeah,
B. Simone is my friend, right?
What I think that she just, she chose to make that decision to put that out, there's so
many other things that she could have cried about, man.
She could have cried about helping her family, like being the only one.
Braylon is like the only one who actually made it in our family.
It was taking care of our family for years, you know, between our grandmother, her sister,
you know, her dad and everything like that.
So she could have been up there crying about that and just, you know, and the things that
she's gone through over the years with her former manager, taking all that money out
her pocket like that, man, like she's been like going through things with people that
work for her, people turn around, stab her in the back.
Like you chose to talk about, cry about the wrong thing that she was going to put out to people.
We could sympathize with those things.
I don't know if she buried that stuff because it triggers her or whatever, but she could
have talked about the real things that make her as resilient as she is.
She went through a lot financially and I don don't know why Bloomingdale's is just
the straw, you know what I'm saying?
I respect her feelings.
I respect what she's going through, but you know, that's life.
You got to be willing to sacrifice things now for your future.
Yeah. But I ain't crying over no damn H&M because I love H&M.
Why she make it seem like H&M is just the bottom of the browser.
I know. Oh my God, now I got to go to H&M.
Girl, what? I got on H&M jeans right now.
That's my first thought.
She said.
We gotta go someplace fancy.
Right.
Are we going to KS?
Shoo, we're going to H&M.
And I'm taking everything back, soon as I get back.
And then she said it like a voice crack too.
You know what I mean?
On that part she was like, first of all, what you doing to Bloomingdale?
You know your bank account was where it sat.
Then you said, oh, we to go to H&M.
You know, so maybe she was buying things for other people.
Yeah, I don't know.
Ain't nothing in Blumendales for me.
You know, I got in trouble with,
Envy told the story earlier,
but one time somebody bought me some jeans from Blumendales
and them things was too expensive.
Well, I'm one time kept the tag on,
got on the radio, say how I was taking them back.
They didn't want to take them back
because I talked about it on the radio.
They had no choice because it was on the, that tag was was still on and I had to receive take these damn games back
You damn right
Goddamn, I ain't been to bloomingdale since I got no business in no damn bloomingdale. Ain't nothing there for me. Yeah, everything too expensive
Damn. All right, let's get to the latest with lauren
Lauren becoming a straight face
She gets into somebody that knows somebody she gets know a girl that knows a little bit about
everything. She be having the latest on the latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have
facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. What was the
latest on the Breakfast Club? Talk to me. All right, y'all. So we are in the final stretch when
it comes to Diddy's trial.
There could be, and this is hopeful, not hopeful because it's a crazy situation, but this is
a people being fast on the timeline.
There could be a verdict reached this week in the trial.
That's why the defense had to present their side.
So listen, so on Friday, one of the final witnesses, his name was Brendan Paul, he's
the guy that everyone was saying
or alleging was the drug mule of Diddy's.
Him and there's one other verifying witness that will get on the stand.
Those are the final two witnesses for the prosecution and they were done with him.
Now the prosecutors told the judge on Friday after everything with their witness that they
could potentially rest their case today.
Now if they rest their case today, Diddy's attorney Mark Agnifilio told the judge that the defense could potentially rest their case as early
as Wednesday. Now, if this timeline goes as planned, that means closing arguments would
happen Thursday, and if closing arguments happen that day, the jury would then begin
to deliberate. Now, the jury has up until the July 4th holiday to deliberate, but the judge judge has been very vocal about we don't want to be in here after the holiday
We want to get this done before the holiday and the jurors are regular people like us
I'm sure they want their holiday. So a lot of people think how do you say that?
How do you like it's almost like you're forcing the jury to make a verdict like hey, we got I got plans for 4th of July
So y'all better be up out of here before 4th of July. Don't that sound crazy?
somebody's life?
I mean, to each his own opinion, but the judge has been vocal about staying on the timeline.
He has kept this timeline, even down to, you know, court getting out earlier as the weeks
transition and things of that nature.
And none of the attorneys have complained.
If they've needed more time for things or whatever, they've said it.
Yeah, but so yes, the jury deliberation could go up until the July 4th, but people are pretty
hopeful that, not hopeful, but people are assuming that it could end way before that,
that it could end as early as early next week, possibly this week.
Does the case start back today?
Yes.
The court is literally starting right now and they're going to be ending with those final
witnesses on the prosecution side and then defense will start.
So this week, Monday through Thursday, are really important to see when the verdict comes
and when these things will or will not happen.
And we don't know if Diddy is going to take the stand at all.
We still don't know.
We still do not know that.
They normally what will happen is like the defense will start because they have to, you
know, you have to let the court know what you're planning to do.
So they should begin having conversations today about who and if anyone they plan upon
understanding how they plan to do these things.
So that'll come.
I broke this down in the podcast the latest with Lauren LaRosa Friday when I left court
after Brendan Paul spoke out about not being an alleged drug mule.
There was some texts from Cassie that were entered into evidence on Friday.
And each text was crazy.
One of the texts said, from Cassie to Diddy,
it said, you treat me like a hooker, to be honest.
You always want to call one, and you have one.
This hooker has been here for 10 years,
and in the text that they showed on the screen,
Diddy responded, wow.
And these are other evidence that the prosecution
is entering that they're gonna send
our conversation around.
Yeah, so we should be knowing some things soon.
I don't know why you don't take the stand.
Take the stand, throw yourself on the mercy of the court,
because everybody forgets in the beginning of this trial,
his lawyers did concede to a lot of the conduct, right?
Yes.
They said that.
Oh yeah.
They were like, we concede to a lot of the conduct,
but we're just trying to say that a lot of the conduct
was consensual and nobody was coerced.
So why wouldn't you just get on the stand
and like just, man tell your truth.
Whatever that truth may be.
Whether it was drugs, whether it was ego,
whether it was power tripping,
like whatever it was just tell your truth.
Throw yourself on the mercy of God.
But also if he did something illegal
he doesn't want to lie on that stand
when they ask him if he did do something
that was illegal or not, you know, against the rules.
So he doesn't want to lie and hurt himself.
They kind of already proved that.
I mean, cause you only gotta prove two predicates, right, when it's a RICO case.
The bringing prostitutes in from out of state, that's been proven. For the most part, right?
So my point is, when the lawyer said, we concede to some of the conduct, what is the conduct they've already conceded to?
Because clearly they've already conceded that some of the stuff he's guilty of.
Well, they, in the defense's opening statements, they conceded to Diddy being a horrible person
and character and they said if this was a domestic violence case, he would be guilty
of that type of assault.
They didn't concede to him doing all the things that the government alleged.
Yeah, they didn't concede to anything he's being charged with.
They tried to separate.
Yeah, go ahead, Envy.
Yeah, no, I was going to say they didn't concede to anything he's being charged with.
They just said, yeah, he's a bad person.
This was domestic violence. But he didn't concede to the prostitute stuff. He didn't concede to the RICO. He didn't concede to anything he's being charged with. They just said, yeah, he's a bad person. This was domestic violence. But he didn't concede to the prostitute stuff.
He didn't concede to the Rico.
He didn't concede to the drug scene.
They tried to make it more lifestyle,
and this is just how he lives his life,
which has been the conversation.
Is this a sexual preference conversation,
or is this a enterprise, a trafficking ring of things?
Like, that's what they tried to do.
They didn't concede, though.
And you know, people normalize things so much
that you forget that what, or you may never have even known that what you're doing is an actual crime.
I've been thinking so much about that and hearing these testimonies.
Like there's a lot of things that I'm like, oh wow, I wonder if he even in doing it knew.
Because he's texting a lot of these things. There were also texts entered between, allegedly between them, Diddy, Cassie.
They're trying to figure out a situation with one of the escorts and they're talking about flying them in, they're getting his information and you
know, all these things.
And I'm like, wow, I wonder how they have that conversation as a defense because what
did he actually know in doing this that he was, did he know he was committing a crime?
Let me tell you, I've been flew out so many times.
I did not know that I was trafficked.
Where you're giving money when you leave.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I mean?
I mind you this. Yes, I was getting money. I'm not going to fly away for free. You know what I mean? I'm not going to fly away for free.
You know what I mean?
So I didn't know.
I don't know about that.
I'm just saying if you're bringing in prostitutes, that is actually illegal.
Well, yes.
Take a listen to the latest with Lauren LaRosa, the podcast guys, because we broke it down
and I'll break it down more after today.
But really quick as we wrap, I did want to take some time to shout out Jason Lee and
Hollywood Unlocked they did their 5th annual Impact Awards over
the weekend in LA you know Kiki Palmer was honored Don Lemon was honored Fantasia Vic
Mensa Tiffany Haddish hosted and a lot of beautiful black people oh my god there were
so many big names there they did a mic pass Kiki Palmer sung Yolanda Adams sung Yolanda
Adams actually spoke some life into Jason Lee.
Let's play that audio as we wrap.
What God is entrusting in your hands is something so special.
Don't let anybody with agendas come in and erase what your heart designer told the Lord
you wanted to do years ago.
You know what you and God are talking about
in your private time?
It's manifesting.
It's manifesting.
There are very few people who can get Hollywood,
sports, corporate America,
and just regular average people who love God all together.
That anointing is on you.
That's why God had to change the direction of everything that was going on.
Jason Lee doesn't get enough credit for what he's built with the Hollywood Unlocked Awards
because you think about all of the platforms that existed before Hollywood Un Hollywood unlocked and had the cache to do that but didn't. For him to actually have
the idea to do it and execute it and it's become so you know culturally
relevant in such a short period of time. Drop one of those bombs for Jason Lee.
Absolutely. We always talk about what we should be doing. We should be building our own awards and all that type of stuff.
He actually went to go do it so yeah shout out to the Impact Awards.
And then not only that like you said Jess he did it and then he flipped it and then
jumped into politics and then started building up his own community so salute to Jason Lee
man.
He actually been doing it all at the same time which is actually more in practice.
Jason Leo get up there and shave somebody and then go be passing legislation and stuff
at the same day.
And then get the biggest names in Hollywood to show up to an
award ceremony. I wish you would tell me what I can't do. God damn it. Drop on the
glues bond for Jason Lee again. Like that guy. All right well that is the latest
with Lauren. Now when we come back we got the People's Choice mix. It's the
