Puma and heart scanning and everything. And that is very important. I think it's important for young guys to go get checked out too. I got a cousin. He's like 29, right? And on his father's side, high blood pressure running the family or whatever.

And so he was like, yo, I talked to him yesterday. He was like, I got an appointment to go figure out my body's not feeling good today. I don't know what's going on. It's doing this weird thing. And I was like, all right, cool, go to the doctor. I talked to him last night. And his girlfriend said he passed out at dinner. He never went to his appointment.

Now, he always had high cholesterol, right? I mean, high blood pressure and all of that. But he said when he went to the gym and he started working out, he felt better. So he just didn't go to his appointment. And then when he went out to dinner last night, he passed out at the table. It was only 29. I have no idea, but you have to go and get checked out.

And it's not even when you get older. He's 29 years old. Still got to go to the doctor. Yeah. Have a physical every year. And especially because it runs in his father's side of the family already. Absolutely. So, you know.

Did he go to the doctor after you passed up? I'm sure. They went to the emergency room. Not a bad from him. But yeah, no, they went to the emergency room, but I haven't heard anything bad because I went to sleep. But yeah, it was around like 9 o'clock that I talked to his girlfriend. And she said he passed. out at the table.

Sometimes you pass out at dinner and wake up and be like, oh, I'm good, it was the shrimp. You know what I'm saying? See, but that's how men think. Like, no, go get your ass checked out, you know, so. Yes.

That too, literally. Yeah, yeah, you get prostate, colonoscopy for that age, absolutely positive. For sure, everything. Shaglia goes twice a year. You know, salute to all. You go once a week.

Without an appointment. Without an appointment. You're talking to pop up. What's you're doing? What's you're doing? What's crazy? What's crazy? What's thinking about you?

Shout to all the dance dads out there. Dance season starts this weekend. Nice. I'm super duper excited. Busy, shoddy. What? I'm super duper excited. So I got this routine where I don't watch my daughters practice their new routine because I want to see it on.

When they have their outfits on and everything is there. So I haven't seen anything. My wife has seen it all. So even yesterday when they were trying on their outfits and making sure they were good, I didn't get a chance to see it. But this weekend, oh yeah. I thought your Ben started dance. Cheerleading competition. Ben started.

No, we started this weekend. I've been over it. You said you've been over it. Yep. You only had, what, three competitions? Two. Two. Two.

Two. That's a shame. All right. Well, today on the show, Ice Tea will be joining us. Tretch and Court will be joining us. They are co-founders of the OG Network. Yeah. And Trench and Icedee have some projects coming out that they're going to be kicking it with.

Well, Trench got a bunch of albums out right now, a bunch of solo albums because people have been wanting solo albums from Trench for a while. And Ice and Court have this great OG network that's, I think it's, I think it's. distributed in like 100 plus countries. Yeah. And it's on Roku and Apple TV and basically it has like all of the black exploitation films up there. You know, a lot of iced teas work. So they're doing some good things. Plus it's ice tea, man.

Yes. Come on, man. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Today is Jay Cole's birthday. I'm sure Trave will be calling. Oh, that's why you put it out of yesterday? Yes, I'm sure Nila will be calling. He put out a new project. It's a mixtape. It's hosted by DJ Clue. I think it's only right to start one of the joints with. It's called Bronx Zoo.

It's the recordist club. Come on. Get your ass up. Once again, that birthday, Jay Cole, he released up. Y'all can't, y'all shouldn't play that if y'all not going to let the whole thing ride. Yeah, he was spent. Yeah, because it's not like it's a song. It's like a something you got to hear in this total. But it's just a little teasing. He's kidding.

He's laughing. He's going crazy on that record. Actually, the whole mixtape is all. He's going to. Jay Cole can rap. I like the self-awareness on that record, too, because he's acknowledging how the apology repositioned him. But he's not out of the top three.

Like, no, he's just a solid three. No, yeah, no, he's not out of the top three. But boy, he got bars. I'm sure we'll talk about it during the latest, but good morning. Let's get into some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Envi. Jess Salomey.

How you're doing this morning? Good morning. Okay, so we start this morning in Minneapolis, of course, where this time a sitting member of Congress was attacked during a town hall meeting. Now, during the late night Monday night event, Minnesota congresswoman, Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown substance. A police say a man used a syringe-like device before being tackled by the people in the room and taken into custody.

And this attack happened as Omar was speaking about immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, calling for ICE to be abolished and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Knoem to be impeached. Let's listen to what happened inside that room. And DHS Secretary Kristy Knoem must resign or face impeachment. No, no, no, no. No, no. What is he scrained? I don't know.

No, we will put him. No, no, no. You need to go in your chicken. We will continue this. We're not going to get away with it. We're going to keep talking. We're just in 10 minutes. Where was security?

Where was police? Yeah. And what were the symptoms after, like, did she say she felt a certain way after being sprayed? So she kept going after that. And then when you watch the video, you see the security kind of dive in. They had a late reaction. Like, the man came out of nowhere. They had, like, a late reaction.

But they did get him. They did tackle him. She actually went after him herself. Damn. Yeah, a little bit. And they had to kind of pull her back. little bit. The suspect he was arrested and later booked into the county jail on assault charges. Police say that Omar was not injured and forensic team they don't

know exactly what that substance is as of yet. But they, I know, they're going to testify. They don't search people before they come into a bench like that? Barely not. I don't know. I would have stopped and got checked. I don't know what that is. Yeah, like, I'm not going after you. You don't get no points from staying in there, you know, the continuing to talk after something like that happens. You don't know what they spread in your eye. It has to be something hard. It had to be something arm for. He wasn't just going to spray saline. You know what I mean?

They wasn't for breeze. Right. And her team did tell her, you know, let's stop. Your safety is more important but she, you know, said that, you know, she wanted to go on. She said, you know, I've been in wars before and I'm not going to stop. This is what they want.

And beat people up, man. Don't just tackle. She tried. Well, she's about her. I'm just talking about the people that tell them. Don't just tackle them. Beat them up. Make an example. Yeah. Well. I'm with you. And speaking of examples. Homeland Security Secretary

Christine Nome, pressure is mounting this morning from both parties over the federal enforcement actions in Minnesota. Democrats in the House are threatening to move forward with impeachment if President Trump does not remove Nome, signing the fatal, citing the fatal shootings of Alex Prattie and Nicole Good, or excuse

me, Renee Good, and they say that this has been a dangerous escalation in immigration enforcement. And now Republicans, they are also joining in this. Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski. She says, Nome must be held accountable for what she calls the chaos and tragedy surrounding the recent operations. Now, she stopped short of saying that she needed to be impeached.

But retiring North Carolina Senator Tom Tillis says Nome's conduct following the shooting should be disqualifying. Let's listen to what he had to say. To give you an idea of how incompetent I think she is, she actually thought FEMA should be eliminated. And when she had a FEMA director said he didn't think that was a good idea, she fired him within 24 hours. now she understands that that is an important part of her job. These are like amateurish, assistant manager sort of thought processes going into somebody who's a secretary in a cabinet-level position. It's unacceptable.

Stephen Miller is in the same boat. This guy, after doing the stupid comments he made about Greenland, getting the president in a difficult circumstance, is one of the people that came out publicly and said that this guy was a terrorist before he had even talked with anybody on the ground. And that's clearly not the case now. So, I mean, it's just, I mean, Stephen Miller never fails to live up to my expectations of incompetence. I can tell you, if I were president, neither one of them would be in Washington right now. I love hearing of politicians speak truth to power.

He's a Republican, right? He's a Republican, though, as well. So he's a Republican, Senator from North Carolina. So he has nothing to lose. So he's speaking his mind right now. At the same time, this fight is spilling into the next big deadline on Capitol Hill. Democrats are threatening to block a government funding bill because it includes money for ICE. Now, Republicans, they are refusing to separate that funding from the overall spending package.

So that standoff is raising the threat of another government shut down by the end of the week. So we'll continue to watch that. And a really quick update this morning on two cases out of Minnesota. We talked about that five-year-old boy and his father last week. Now, a judge has said that they cannot be removed. They cannot be deported while their legal case plays out. And we're also learning new details about the shooting of Alex Freddie. A government report says two agents actually fired their weapons.

bring that encounter with him. We don't know if both guns from, the bullets from both guns actually hit him. So we'll find that out as they continue the investigation. But as of this morning, his GoFundMe has raised $1.6 million. There's nothing more frustrating than watching them say they have to do an investigation on something that we all saw.

Like, how long is this investigation going to last? Crazy. Okay. It shouldn't last long at all. They got the footage. We've seen so many breakdowns. What? We've seen all of it.

From social media to cable news. I've seen so many breakdowns. How long is this investigation? going to last. She can last long at all. All right. Well, coming up at 7, Gen Z is changing the vocabulary again. This one might surprise you. Yep. And it involves you. We'll tell you

all about it in that hour. What? What did you do? I didn't do nothing. She said it involves you. What did you do? Oh, it involves me. Oh, wow. I know. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585. 105.1. If you need to vent

phone lines and wide open, call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is your time to get it off your chat 800-585-1051 We want to hear from you on the breakfast club Hello, who's this? Everybody, guess what, Airbnb? I knew you was calling.

Hey, Trin. Hey, Trin. I knew you was calling. What? Jen! Yes, baby. I don't know what you calling for. What's up, what, James?

What? Shut it up. Shut it up. The LeBron James of Watt is that, baby. Say out to James. is my man's birthday he's dropped at bars

the greatest is doing his hair I think I still think he's the Tim Duncan a rap but you don't you don't you don't respect that but a lot of people have Tim Duncan rank you don't want to respect the fact that Tim Duncan is a Hall of Fame of five-time

champions the greatest power forward of all time my man's 10 guess what though and my man's he outwrapping he outwrapping everybody that's what my man do okay he

out rapping everybody. You know what you're here doing, Silas? You got here yapping and paris. You're japping and paris, sir. That's what you're doing. Well, Jay Cole said

I do like Cole's self-awareness. I like the fact that he's acknowledging that he's been repositioned ever since he bowed out of the rap battle. There's one bar that I don't understand trap. Maybe you can break it down for me. He says that the top isn't what it used to be.

So he jumped out of it, but he's going to come, get his way back to the top and then outpath everybody. I'm like, why would you want to be back on the top if you said it's not like it used to be. He said he jumped out the top to be back, I guess back on the bottom and he wants to climb back past all these people. I guess because he said he lost his passion. Because he said he lost his passion.

Why does he want to be back on top if you said it's not what you used to be? Maybe being on the bottom made him have more passion. Or maybe he can change the top. If the top ain't what it used to be, maybe he feel like he can go to the top and change it. He's not a being the matter. Sounds like another coping way to say, hey, I bowed out. You can nobody outwrap him. There's really nobody that can outwap him. His name is Kendrick.

His name is Kendrick Lamar, but it's no need to have this debate. You know what you're doing, sir? You yapping apart laying, sir. Stop yapping apart land. Kendrick Lamar is a better rapper than Jayco. I like J-Col. No, J-Col went stupid on the next door. Oh, my gosh.

We've been on the New York City for the past two weeks now, or three weeks. I think it's 20 days. I don't think it's getting more coverage on the news.

Well, at least in New York City. I know from town he's been out there I know South people's been out there Sanders has been out there And you know I just want me to give a shout up But they're not being paid right now And I don't know if they're

Covering it on the news as much as I think they should Yeah they were but didn't they Snowstorm took over Yeah the snowstorm and you know everything that's going on In Minneapolis but yeah they said it was like 31,000 nurses out there Recently Yeah it is recently yes Solution to all the nurses out there

They still haven't got their deal. Salute to all the nurses out there. They're still out there each and every day. That's right. I think that was like a day. It goes there's more than 31,000 workers across two dozen hospitals walked off the job at 7 a year. Wow.

Hello, who's this? Man, my name's Sean was good, though. Good morning. What's up? What's up? You're on your church, Sean. Man, I want to give y'all a little bit of my favorite church hymn this morning. Okay.

Godly, the real is back. The real is back. So Panette is this. Phil is back. That sounds more like Jay Cole That's Jay Cole I was Salome Yes sir

Man I got you to talk to you real quick My boy Talk to me We've been following We've been following Cole too long To think yeah he got out of a beat Because he was scared man You know them his brothers

There's some things you don't do When it comes to family No stop No I disagree No I disagree It's just rap And listen Cole is dope That's the point

That's what's so disappointing about it He's so dope And he's so nice So what he was saying He wanted smoke. He engaged a little bit with the seven minute drill. And it was just like eh. And then he

backed out. And that's cool. I have no problem with him backing out. It was end though because it didn't feel right. We know how Jay Cole's spirit is. Some things he was doing it for the clicks when he realized that wasn't the right thing to do that's not. And that's dope. That's fine. What that got to do with the fact that that puts

you in a different position when it comes to how we look at you as a rapper. But he's still dope. He still get busy. Phenomenal. We know. We heard. with these bars that he just dropped, man. We're geared up for one of the greatest albums to ever come out, man. I hope so. I just want to say, I love y'all.

I appreciate y'all. Oh, Envy, I'm a truck driver, too, by the way, but I can't haunt my horn. Man, salute to all the truckers, man. Truck is checking in early. Thank you, Sean. I got, I'm driving a hydrogen truck. This is this new technology Honda came out with. It's no gas, and we ain't got no air horn at all.

So you ain't got no horn at all? Damn. No, we got a horn, but it ain't the airborne, so you ain't going to hear it. It's not like a regular car. Okay. Listen, I want to ask you one more thing about Kodo. Do you want, are you looking for something a little bit more deeper? Because we know he can rap.

He's just, he's nice. But aren't you looking for something a little bit more introspective at this point from a 40, about to be 42 years? He's 41 today? 41 today, yeah. What you want something a little bit more introspective? I think we're going to get a little bit of everything because, you know, everybody got their view about him about how he handles the beef.

So he's still going to show people that he got the bar to keep up with the new generation, but he also going to give him on where he's going to be. he's been going through what he's experience as an oldest OG in the rap. Yeah, I don't think he has anything to prove as a rapper. I want him to get his Mr. Morale and the big step on. I want him to get his 4-4-4 on at a time like this. Like, you know, even Rhapsody with her last project was very introspective. Like, I want to see Cole peel back those layers and give us, you know,

some really introspective music this time. I think since we're predicting the two-disc project, we're going to get a little bit of both. True. But I think, I'm glad that he's kind of bowed out of because there's still hope for us Kendrick and Jay Cole fans that that might be some type of collab that we've been wanting since day one. I don't even going to get that, but...

Maybe. I will say this. For people that forgot Cole had bars when you live... Man, nobody forgot Cole had bars, man. Yes, they do. I think people do. I think people forgot how nice he was. No, they did not.

I think they counted him out with his top three because he backed out and they forgot how nice he is. Absolutely. They're not paying attention then. No, nobody thought that. Man, the way he's going over all these old school New York Beach is crazy, man. It's crazy. He's crazy.

talking that talk. Without disrespect to people. And he's confronting the fact that everybody think he bowed out the beat. No, we don't think. No, no, no, no. We don't think. He did.

Stop it. He did. It's not a think. Get it off your chest. We saw what we saw. Don't do us like the Trump administration. We saw what we saw. All right.

Okay. We got the latest coming up what we talk about. Good morning. Yeah, we're going to continue the J-Cold conversation because I think it's definitely one to be had. I know that's for him. I know Charlemagne was going to get up on here with this big three thing. We'll get to that next.

This is the breakfast club. We'll talk about it. Let you talk, LL. Cube. Yeah. I'm not. Don't need myself down. I'm being myself. That's cool.

I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything. And like, little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that. Take me through that. Where's she's gone? The latest with Lauren knows. Take me through that.

On the breakfast club. L.L. Cool, babe. Talk to me. I know I ain't tripping. Tell the mom of the data. Dropping a cool mom of the data. Oh, no. Okay.

And Taylor made it. Using the black girls up here, huh? No, I just remember somebody saying Mama was his age. This jacket is from Manelli Rose, too, by the way. I want to make sure I mention her. She's a black designer. So I want to make sure I mention her.

Yes. Okay, so let's get into the thing. So it's Jay Cole's birthday. He turned 41 years old, and he gave us a gift on his birthday. He dropped a mixtape called Birthday Blizzard, hosted by DJ Clue. And he addresses a few things on this four-track mixtape. So Bronx Zoo is the breakout song. It's the first song on the project.

and he addresses being taken off of the big three for apologizing. Let's take a listen. Creep to your room, put four on your dome. If your girl's screen to the queens, it's loyal your tone. A matter of fact, go on your phone. Add me on IG. I used to be top C. The apology dropped me.

Way out of the top three. No problem. I'm probably. My best one they doubt me. Watch me. Watch me. DJ. Watch me.

We got a conversation has to shift, though. It's not he's out of the top three. There is no victory no more. Hendrick dismantled it. Kendrick said after Big Three is just Big Me and he proved why it's just big him. There's just, it's not no Big Three, no. But I was thinking about this this morning driving in, right?

Now, it's difficult to beef with your brothers I'm explaining to, right? Jay Z and Biggie back in the day, right? They were both number one. They couldn't beef with each other because they were brothers, right? Every beef that we see in hip-hop turned nasty, turned disgusting, turned to a place where...

Biggie was number one, sir. Biggie was number one. Yes, and Jay-Z said that and where I'm from and that's what started the conversation. But they would never beefing. Jay-Z wasn't in those. conversations before he said it. But Biggie was number one at the time. Jay-Z was on his way.

If Biggie was, right, but they weren't cool with Tupac, right? They were cool with each other. I can't beef with my brother and things turn nasty, right? Because Jay-Z and Nas's beef, Kendrick and Drake's beef, all these beef, and Ice Cuban weather. So you're nice. Nasty. No, it does. We just talk to, right?

But we all talk about it. But it gets nasty. Your point is. It's not just about who's the biggest. No, it gets nasty. Is your point envy that? Jay Coles. Jay Z skied it on, not the baby seat. Like, it gets disgusting. J-Cole is dope. He's nice.

He backed out of a rap battle. Woe is him. But if he backed out of a rap battle because that's his brothers and he doesn't want to get nasty, do you look at it differently? Because you name of one rap battle in this whole hip-hop world that did not get disgusting. We can go back to LL KooJ and Kumo D. You go Kendrick and it gets disgusting. He shouldn't have said nothing.

And maybe that's what he thought about. But he decided to stick his toe in. And it was kind of weak. It was weak, the seven minute drill. And he apologized and bowed out. And that's fine, but let's celebrate this beautiful blizzard that he dropped. It's called birthday blizzard. But all I'm saying is,

if you can't battle your brother, because it gets disgusting excuses. That doesn't mean he's not nice. I hate when beige people make excuses for other beige people. Let it go. No, you can't. I mean, why is it only four tracks, though? I don't, I just, just how it. Actually, it's five, but the last one, it doesn't really attract.

It's just a blend up of all the four. But I think it's just how he, he just teasing the fall off. I just thought that's true. We dropped one of Clues bombs for DJ Clue. Yes. Sounding very timeless on this project. All right. I know y'all older than me, right?

And I'm going to say something that's probably going to make y'all, me, sound really young. But it was so exciting to hear DJ Clue and like hear him on something new sounding how he heard, how I heard him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Before I ever knew him or met him, it felt like, I was just like, oh, my God. Lauren, I'm watching this. This is a nostalgia. Everybody's got to remember this. Clue sounds so good.

I was excited. Eat your food. Everybody ran to the follow website. Eat your food. Okay. All right. I was just excited to be a part of something in real time. Birthday day.

Blizzett. Is it? Is it? So then. Ha ha. Ha ha. Yeah. Yeah.

Y'all done? Yeah. So also on the mixtape. It's the latest. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So also on the mixtape, he 99 billed is the last song. And that song is crazy.

What? You better get cool to do that for you. It's the latest. It's the latest. It's the latest. Can you ask him in V- There is. Ball spots it all.

Oh, wow. Jump on the Clues bomb. Yeah. That is. See? Hearing Clue on his mixtape got you feeling yourself. That's what I'm seeing. We all energized up here.

It's better for that. Better relax. Maybe he said Bay is back. He got the battery in his back. All right. Let's go. Don't drop another bomb. All right.

My boss is why we are working on it. Do not drop none of that's right. I know that's right. All right. So, no. Can we get back to the shots that Jake Cole is throwing in, not the ones that mean? All right, my back, go ahead. All right, so on 99 Bill, which is the last song on the mixtape,

he, Jay Cole gets into a conversation about where hip-hop is today and where he think we should be focused. And he mentions Jed. Let's take a listen. Known as the rap game that's been overcome with loads of marketing plans, based on randomly dissing and hating on the next man. I understand. Imagine working hard as you can.

On this album, you plan. hoping it charges your brand but as soon as you drop it the world's ignoring again got you wondering why till you start to notice the trend drama enhances the attention brought to the fans on popular channels so you want to hop on a band wagging a battle rapping and throwing shots in a jam i had my chance but i dropped it which means that my only options every january we're encouraged to start over but what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply what if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken.

But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got some. something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion.

If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents.

I lied to police. I lied to everybody. There were years right where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can, to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years.

I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around her in my wife. Boom, boom. This is The Red Weather. Listen to The Red Weather on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know Roll Doll, the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been.

Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true.

I'm telling you. The guy was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talent. to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film.

How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I mean, jean. Crazy. I wish I could rap. Yeah, it's crazy.

I wish I could rap. But you know, I was thinking, too, a lot of people say Jay Cole's beats aren't the best. So when you hear him over stuff that don't beat, it sounds even better. You hear a lot of stuff about Jay Cole that I don't hear. He makes a lot of his own beats, though. So that's why he probably does need to do outside production. But drop on the clues bonds for Jed. God does like Ugly.

It was a phenomenal project. It was. But it is interesting to hear the owner of a label talk like that when, you know, the marketing and the promotion, he can help with that. Like, Jay Cole could have did more appearances with Jid. You could have put, you know, he could have put his arm around Jid a lot more, you know. Probably do some more records with him. There's ways Jay Cole could have used his light and his star to amplify God does.

But that's if J.D. wanted it, though. Because I had conversations with J. Cole when Jid's album came out, and I asked him those things. And he was saying that they were coming up, they were going to do like a mixtape tour. They were going to do a lot of things, but it was during a weird time. But that's if Jid wanted to do it. I don't know. You've made people got more excuses than God. Trump administration.

I mean, it's like they got every single thing that could have to me be sad about the. I have no horse in this race. I want to make. I have no horse in this race. Yeah, because it's a giraffe because it's yellow. You're stupid. I heard you doubt. We had a conversation about doing a mixtape something, but no, I have no horse in this race.

Well, I wanted to mention, too, on that bar that we just played fans or think that Jay Cole was throwing some shots to Joey Badass's way because of Joey Badass's happening. No more. You're not allowed to do that, Jay Cole. No more shots for you. Don't do that. He's talking about sticking to the lyricism. And not his friends.

Hey, Joey ready for war. That we know. Joey ain't backing out of no rap battles. Those are not his friends. Let's hope that, let's hope that's not the case. Because we know Joey badass is battle testing. Joey walking back in front right now. Yeah, right now, right now.

Please. As we close out the hour, there's one more line that people think maybe a shot. Then y'all can take it to whoever you will talk about it after. Let's take a listen to the Golden Goose Bots bar. If the streams say you're winning while your tours is loose, When the math ain't math And of course you're juicing That mean the bots is boosting

Because the tough guy image It's not conducive to breathing Don't gamble with your life Because the ops is cruising Word to Mike Vic your dog might you shot for losing That's definitely the Drake The box is boosting Definitely he's going crazy

The tough guy thing That's definitely for Drake You got that song up? Drake what you want to do I don't have no problem With biracial on biracial crime But see but that's what I'm saying Jay J-Gong page crime go

Y'all go at it with each other Jay Cole He's confusing a little bit Yeah, a little bit Because even on Rapsing, when you start to juice in there Longbed Sharmine crack himself up

Because even on this record I mean like he starts with the He starts with the Bronx Zoo And then he goes the Golden Goose In the first line in gold Or first couple lines in Golden Goose He talked about y'all not gonna knock me off my spot Then he's like kind of throwing shots

Going that niggas Yeah but I thought he was like mentally healed I don't know But it's a great project You can't be mentally healed I know I know Shurban every day Because in my opinion

And Kendron was definitely mentally healed, but he can still rap, you know what I'm saying? Healing is not many reps from a heat, please. But when you apologize, I thought he was going to step back from any shots at all. Like, I thought... I see what you're saying. Yeah, but I think in the falloff, we're going to get a more deep intellectual situation to your point earlier this morning. I do hope so. I hope that the falloff, you know, of course we know Jay Cole can rap, but I want to see him be more introspective on this one.

I want to see him get his 4-4-4 on. I want to see him get his Mr. Morale and the big step on. I want to see him get his rap, so he please don't cry. I know you can rap, call. You have nothing to prove with that. I want to know who you are the 41-year-old man. That's what I want. I want to hear you rap,

and I just want to make sure you don't produce all the beats. I want you to do stuff outside the box with some of these amazing producers. I agree with you. Because the way you sound on these freestyles, I love it. Immaculate. Yes. Well, that is available to falloff.

All right. The site was bitching all night, but you can pay what you want to get it. Cole should have havoc and static selector. Go get some dope producers. We don't need you producing all your beats. Happy birthday, Cole. Yeah, happy birthday, Cole.

All right. Birthday, Blizzard. That's the latest with Lauren. Can we get a joint on? Off the mixtape. All right. I like the one that she was just playing. The Golden Goose? Yeah, I like that.

The boss bar. All right. And in the next hour, we're going to talk about Ray J. and him talking about maybe not being here on Earth anymore, which is crazy. And drop on the Clues bombs for Clue again, man.

Oh, for real, clue sound, very timeless. It sounds very refreshing. It was just cold, all the snow on the ground. The holiday bliss what he called it? Yeah, it's dope, man. Yeah. I'm a part of. Clue just had a birthday, too.

Y'all are? A couple weeks ago, January. Yeah. First week of January. Did you help him brought any candles? Ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, that's go, man. Funny, funny, funny, funny. You want to be him off and say some things.

Go ahead. Nothing will ever beat rap music. Jesus! You just put a hard beat on. Oh, my goodness. And somebody just comes with that poetic lyricism. Nothing will ever beat rap music. Nothing will ever feel is refreshing as rap music.

You hear me? Man, and beat, caught the Holy Ghost in here. That's the mixtape days. Oh, my gosh. Nistalture for you. I feel like going to the call of some. see him and go buy some mixes, go to Harlem. Let's go see my African bootlegged to get them mixes.

Right. Jesus. Clu sound timeless. And they make you mad because like, Clue, why the hell you don't do that more often? He ain't got rappers to do that way more often. There's no way to put it out at. What you mean? There's this thing called the internet?

God, damn. What happens? All to start putting out their own music. They don't want DJs anymore to do it. They start doing it now. I love the fact that it's getting back to. I love the fact that Jay Cole did it. I love what Kendrick did it.

Sounds good with Clue on it. But do we have a lot of Coles and Kendrick's and, you know, that clue can collaborate with and do that. Nah, I know. He ain't just going to put that on anybody. Drama still doesn't. Drama does it. He does it. Him and Tyler the creator on the gram.

Yep. Drama and game put out a phenomenal project last year. But anyway, front page news. Mimi Brown. What's up, me? Hey, girl. Good morning, y'all. How y'all doing?

Good. Bless black and highly famous. All right. All right. So now we know, speaking of Super Bowl, we were talking about that just a little bit ago. We know who's going, right? The Seahawks and the New England Patriots.

Yes. Yes. But we also know this morning who's not going to be there. So President Trump says he will not be attending the Super Bowl on February 8th in California. He says the reason is simple. It's too far. But others are saying that's not really the reason they said that he's unhappy with the performer. So we know Bad Bunny is going to be there.

Green Day is going to do the pre-show. Yes, Green Day. I love Green Day. I used to listen to them all the time when I went to high school with my right friends. I love Green Day too. But both artists, they've been out. One day on Netflix. Now all of a sudden you listen to.

No, you know what's one. I was very much into Abileney. One day. One day is a three songs. And Abraham Levine. Name three songs. When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city. I don't know the name of the song, but I definitely know Green Day. Don't play with me. Anyway, Mimi. Okay.

Well, Green Day is going to do the pre-show. Both artists, Bad Bunny and Green Day, they've been outspoken critics against Trump and his policies. And Trump, of course, he's calling this a terrible choice, and he says he is anti them. but the bigger development surrounding this year Super Bowl is ICE enforcement. The federal officials say they have confirmed

that ICE will be in attendance and they will be carrying out that immigration enforcement at the game. The Department of Homeland Security says agents will be deployed as part of security for the event. Let's remind ourselves with Homeland Security officials but they've said about the Super Bowl in the past.

That's crazy. Oh, and... I told you all ICE is going to be there. And I walk a lonely world, the only world. road that I have ever known. That's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Very much.

What's that? There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally, not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility and we will deport you. So know that that is a very real situation under this administration. Hit it, Jeff.

I walk a lonely road, the only road that I have ever known. I told y'all that ice was going to be at the goddamn Super Bowl. That was too predictable. I would be pissed to F off if I buy a ticket because Super Bowl tickets is going to be expensive. They're going to be at least minimum $3,000. So I buy a ticket for $3,000 and then you check my ID to see if I'm supposed to be here? That's crazy. That was what I was going to say next.

Tickets are around $6,000. I said $3.6. Yeah. And you know how disruptive that could be? Because think about people who might be working at the game. Well, that's who was going to hurt vendors. There's going to hurt all the vendors outside, selling the T-shirt, selling food, you know, things like that. there's going to be probably none of that leading into the game.

You're profiling people stopping them because of the color of their skin, because of their accent. Like, that's going to be so disruptive in the Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. And then you're going to get some fight back, too. People are going to be drunk in there. There's going to be a lot.

The game goers. Right. And if I spend that much money for a ticket, I want to see the game. I'm definitely here. Deport me after. Like, I'm here. I'll repeat. Would ICE go so far is to disrupt bad money and his entourage.

Let's think about that for a second. That would be crazy. Just think about that. Just think about how they just holding them up. Yeah. Could prolong or disrupt the game. Just think about stuff like that. I don't know.

I'm just throwing things up there. I feel like now you're giving them ideas because that's crazy. That would be crazy. Right before they hit that stage. You see what I'm saying? Everybody got to run back through. I don't put nothing past them. Yeah.

Wake me up. When September ends? That's three songs, y'all. I just don't know the names of them, but I'm telling you, I grew up on Green Day. I couldn't tell you was right or wrong. Totally. No, those are, I, yeah, you got it.

She's from Alaska. You know her. Absolutely. you know, so you was down there. I was listening to the crowd. I was listening to it because that's all we had. What else we got, Mimi? All right.

So, and yesterday I told you guys, Jess, I told you about that social media story, right? So there's a quick update to that. That's the woman who was 19 years old. She's suing the major tech companies saying that they, you know, hurt her mental health. Well, yesterday we told you that Snapchat, they settled before the trial began. And this morning, we're learning that TikTok settled just hours before opening statements. Damn. Yeah.

What kind of paper she got? Did they say a number? The terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. So right now that leaves META and Google as the two final companies taking this case to trial, putting those companies at risk for potentially on the hook for millions, even billions of dollars. Listen, she just popped the lid on something real big. Everybody about to do that. I was thinking the same thing.

What's going to stop other people for saying the same exact thing? And there are already thousands more lawsuits like behind hers. So this is a test case to see what's going to happen for those. But people settling or company settling. I don't know what that looks like. And if you are flying Southwest heads up, there are new changes now in effect. So as of this week, Southwest has officially ended its open seating.

You know, that longstanding first come, first serve system is now gone. They don't play musical chairs on Southwest no more? Not anymore. As of yesterday, that is over. Assigned seats are now in effect, putting Southwest in line with other major airline carriers. And Charlotte, there's also another change taking effect this week that's drawing attention,

especially for its plus-size travelers. Well, you got cargo tickets for? You got fly cargo for a cheap price? Well, under this new policy, passengers who don't fit between the armrests of a standard seat are now required to buy a second seat. And unlike before, the extra seat isn't automatically refunded. So a refund will only apply if the flight isn't full.

Both seats were purchased in the same class fare and if the request is made within 90 days. See, somebody's going to be suing because it's going to be someone telling them, Actually, you need a row. You don't need to fit. But I was thinking that. Somebody'd be like, I could fit,

and you know you really can't fit, so the blubber goes in, you know, to the other side. In this pillow. They got to hold their breath. I got to complain. You got to, I got a full seat. Your arm is on my armrest.

Your bumbers on. But I'm telling you, you old fat people, they're so comfortable to sit next to their, like, pillows. So I wouldn't complain. Well. I'll be right there singing Green Day mad at his house. I walk the room.

Hey, I'm sorry. You'll be mad at that. That happened to you. That is... Go ahead. Wait, one more. Really, really quick. Really quick.

Because, Jess, this next storyline, this next story is for you, right? So, Gen Z has a new name for a Karen. Yes. So for years, Karen has been used to describe someone, usually a white woman, right? Who inserts herself. Well, now the new name that Jinzi has come up with

is now Jessica. Lies. Wow. That's funny. How they spell it? The same way you spell it. J-E-S-I-I-E-S-I-E-E? J-E-S-I-A.

You never see them? I know a bunch of them with Jessica's. Yeah. But no. Who was in charge of this? Who is the department? Gen Z's.

They just say Jessica is now the new name. Karen they cannot get with. Yeah. I dare you to put a scarf on and go live again. Yeah. I dare you.

I did you. I did you. Whatever. Whatever. All right. And really quick, there's a new name for a man who's a Karen.

His name is David. David. Yeah. So, all right, y'all. Yeah. Should have been Arbor. Yeah. What is it?

What is? No. Everything can be drink-related. Stop. It is David. All right, y'all. Well, that is your front-page news. I'm Mimi Brown.

Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories. Follow the Black Information Network. Download the free I-HeartRadio app or visit BINNews.com. Thank you, Mimi. Thank you. Now when we come back, Ice Tea, Tretch, and Big Court will be joining us. Icy and Big Court are co-founders of the OG Network.

Yes, indeed. When we're going to talk to these legends next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Hilarie. Sholomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We got some special guests in the building. We got iced tea. My man, Big Court is here. What's good with you, fan? The icon, Trench from Nardi by Nature's here. What's good with you, homie. How are y'all feeling, man? Ready to know.

Ain't here. Made it through that weekend. Man. Man. It hasn't snowed like that in New York in 10 years. 10 years, I think they said. Yeah. I thought you lived in Cali, though.

No, man, I've been out here for over 25 years. I came out here to do Law & Order for four episodes. Now I'm on season 27. I live in New Jersey. Yeah, yeah. How about that? Ice tea playing the police. How about that?

When Ice walked in, Ice looked at me and he said a survival, man, but that's how I look at you. Like, when you look at your life now, do you feel like you beat the system or you just learn how to move through it better than most? I learned how to move to it. I think I survived it, you know. I don't think you can push your way through this. I think you, it's a bunch of judgment calls you make and the right one land you, I guess, where life decides you should be, you know, but,

no, I could have never planned it. You know, one of my motto's, if you don't guide life, you ride life, you know, and none of us really, you know, when I met you back in the day, you was with Wendy, and now I see you here and I'm watching you make big moves. So, you know, many people have counts you out along the way, and here you are. So we are survivors.

You got me an audition with Law & Order back in the day. Back in the day. What's going to do? I don't know It's a show about No, let me just stop Don't start that way Yeah, yeah, yeah

Some of the roles You may not want on that show Wait, but what made you want to, like, what was the thought like for me to I'm gonna call Charlamagne? No, I just asked him because he, you know, Wendy used to know them and they used to be around

I'm just like, that's iced tea, why not ask? Yeah, yeah, close mouth don't get fed and I throw your name into the hat. I remember I was home one day I got a call from Snoop And Snoop's like, yo, cause, you know, I never watched that show, you know, but me and wifey sat down, watched it for like 15 hours, because, you know, one day he got hooked. He said, that's hard to tell. I said, you want to be on the show?

He's like, you get me on there? And I threw his name in the hat, and they checked him, and he had like 27 million followers on Instagram. He was on in three episodes. Wow. Amazing. So, yeah. That's such a legacy series. But who would have thought?

Like I said, I only went on there to do four episodes. So I don't know, you know. But what I do know in this business is how you know you're doing well as you get called back. That's a simple answer. So for some reason, I've still been on the show. And like I said, I'm black. I don't jump off a boat while it's floating. And I can swim.

But the show is just rolling. So here we go. But you wanted a rare artist that transitioned from music, the TV, without losing credibility. Same thing with trash. Like, I don't think people understand how big commercially naughty by nature. it was, but you never lost credibility with the streets. Like, what's the key mindset shift that makes that possible?

Just being humble and just, you know, like, I was the first rapper to act. You know, to actually have lines. You know, crushed groove, it came out, but everybody was acting as rappers. But when I even in breaking, I was called featured rap talker. But when I did New Jack City, that was

the first time somebody took that risk. And I'm not Will Smith, but I'm still acting. And I don't know, I just think people really know who I am. I think people understand. Like when I first start acting and they want me to play a cop, you know, the homie's like,

I don't know you ain't no cop. Like we know exactly who you are. So go ahead and play the role out. And so now people are willing to take that risk. Since then, Drey played a cop, I mean, not Snoop, not Snoop, but Pock played one. Cube has played one. So we're acting.

And when you act, you have to let go of who you really are. and be a character. What about you, Trej? I was naughty by nature able to have all that commercial success and, you know, you not lose any credibility. I mean, I guess when we first came out, we were ignorant. We didn't know to separate the streets from,

so we came, never on disrespect, but 30 deep everywhere, things, but you always heard us fighting in clubs and all the rest of that, but it was they knew that we were real dudes. So when they seen us, but when they seen us in person, They were like, yo, they're down the earth.

They're cool. We signed an autographs. We're getting people in with us. It was love unless it wasn't. Yeah. And they was like, yo, wow, they're acting. So usually they always said, don't get typecast. I'm like, whoever called me, I'm going to play that role.

I'm going to be the villain, whatever else. Yeah, worry about getting cast, not typecast. Start first there. Try to get cast. You know, 20 movies in worry about typecast. And right off the top, just trying to get cast. And then with the relationship with Tupacac, it was like, wow, them

they've kicked the door we've seen them from nothing to something and know they will and got respect on the streets like that what about like navigating on the business side of that

right? Because you're going from music everything's booming now you're in television and it's just such a different world like trying to navigate that so like who was helping you guys like in the beginning stages

as you were trying to figure that out Queen Latifah Shakam shout out to the Flavion it. Legends, man taught us everything Wow everything.

Yeah I got to teach myself but like I say like I'm not really a rapper. I was hustlers, so I had to teach myself how to be a rapper, you know? And then when it was time to act, and that was an opportunity. I'm like, yeah, I want to try to do this. And you just have to change.

You have different behavior, you know? You have to change. You have to understand you handle things different, you know. Like, you know, back in the day, you had a problem, you go meet the cat. Now they want to sue you. You have to learn these things. You have to readjust your behavior.

So, but me myself, I've just always been humble and always been like, I don't know what you might think I am, but when you meet me, you're going to like me, you're going to be, oh, I get ice, I see what it is. You know, he's a straight up cat. And that holds your street rap. Yes. But when you are over exaggerating your image and all this other stuff, people can see through that and they can go, okay, this dude's a sucker, he's scary, he's nervous or whatever. And that will fold on you eventually because you're going to get caught out there. So I just never tried to be much more than I am, you know? Yeah, but there's one thing to be feared in the streets. It feels like you was feared by the government at one point. It's like you went from being labeled dangerous, right? To becoming like a darling of sorts of America. So what does that say about how America treats rebellion like once it's profitable? I don't know if that's what it is, I think it's more just like certain people spoke out.

You know, certain people will speak out about. I watch Whoopi Goldberg. She'll speak out. You'll speak out. I'll speak out. I did cop killer. I was like, yo, the cops is out of control. They hurting people.

I had the nerve public enemy. Some of us, Ice Cube, we spoke out. And I still speak out. I don't know. I have a theory that America don't like safe black people. I actually think America likes dangerous, rebellious black people. I really do feel that way. I think they respect it if it's honest.

I think if they know you really, because they know we're coming from a real place. I'm not making this up. You know what I'm saying? So when I'm telling you the cops is out of pocket, you didn't have the cameras. Now, 20 years later, I'm vindicated. Oh, this is what Iceland was talking about.

Yeah. So I wasn't making it up. So they go, okay, now maybe we didn't want to give him respect, but now we got to because he honestly was telling us way ahead of time what was going on. But, you know, nowadays with this politics and all this kind of stuff, I actually have kind of pushed back from speaking because it's out of control.

and now it's like white people after white people. When they shot Charlie Kirk, I was like, you know, I watched Dave Chappelle and he said they're shooting people that's talking. You know, I'm like, okay, well, I talk. Do I want to catch a hot one down range? But they really shooting each other. So I'm kind of just sitting back.

Like, I mean, I think the war that's about to happen it's going to be between the police and the feds. And then who we're going to root for? crazy, right? You're black, we're going to root for the police. Like, what's going on right now? It's so out of control. So in the meantime, I'm just doing my TV show and trying to start my network. And as we say, stay out the way. And I know now with the OG network you mentioned earlier to a big court, I'm sure you guys are going to lean in some way to use that network to kind of like display art that will have those conversations because that's kind of like a rebellion too, right?

Court and me became friends. Court with masterpiece right here, man. The court became We connected on solidness. Like he knew what I was about. So he said, I want to start a network. And the first thing I said is whatever we start can't be stopped. I'm like, no, I'm not doing nothing on YouTube. I'm not doing nothing on anybody else's service. I need this to be vertical.

I needed to be once we go, we can't be stopped. I said, get that together and I'm in. And he did. He created a network that we have the servers. We own controllers. Nobody else is no other investors. It's just us. Just us.

And we can do whatever we want. We started out, you know, we loaded it up with all my stuff, all the black exploitation movies. We loaded it up with his podcast. We loaded it up with my movies, peas movies, things like that. But we're kind of like Tooby. Explain how we operate. What is the OG network?

Well, we basically want to pick up where Tooby left off. You know what I mean? Like Toobie was the spot where a lot of cats, it was changing a lot of cats lives. You know, the movie game has become like the 90s in the rap game, you know. So I knew how important it was. So we just basically restoring power back to the culture. It's about owning some infrastructure, you feel me? And so, you know, obviously me coming from, you know, graduating from No Limit University, you know, it's all about independence and ownership, you know.

So, you know, it's a lot of displaced content creators, you know. I think what Tooby did and what we saw the CW do, what we saw. what was the other one? Bounce or? Yeah, no, not Bounce. It was a CW. UPN, right, right. You know, basically what I call kind of like a gentrification of content, right?

So they basically use the low budget black content. I mean, we're the culture. We make cool. Fox did it too? Yeah, Fox did it too. You know what I mean? Like we set the tone. We make things cool, but we don't own anything.

And, you know, Charlemagne, you're doing your thing so you understand this fight. With the gentrification of, like, I call it, of content. You know, I was like, man, that's crazy. They use us, and then they move the goalposts, right? You know, they use us to build up the valuation, cash out, and then, you know, we're just kind of thrown to the side. And I was like, nah, we're not going to do that because we're from the culture, we're of the culture. You know, we understand how important it is for these people to have a place. So you'll see some major stuff on OG Network sitting next to some guy in the street that then got his money together and did a $10,000 movie.

You know what I'm saying? but he's trying to come up and change the situation. So, that's what it is. And is it like an app or is it something that how can we, yeah. Yeah, it's an app. We're available on Roku, Google Play, Fire TV. You be a humble court, man.

It's global distribution. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Roku, iOS, FIRE TV, Google Play, Apple TV and Android TV. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you. We did a merger with Viar TV. You know, they have over a million six users. They globally do. distributed. So we have a fast channel as well inside of the app. You know, we have over 500 titles, you know, so we get into the micro dramas, the vertical, uh, uh, content. So yeah. Oh, so you're going to have like a like a creator's verse like that sense, but yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. And the other thing we doing, which is cool, is we, we, we, we have a contest that we're doing for content created. So we're looking for the next Friday, the next big hood movie. Right. And so what we're going to do is we're going to do this contest and we're going to give the winner of this contest 100% of the ad revs, yeah. Yeah, and we're going to put our social currency behind them, we're going to blow them up. So if y'all want to do this,

you can email your stuff at contest at the OG Network.net. Damn, that's dope. Yeah, anybody out there you can go to the OG network. And we use OG just to define the word OG. Right? OGs were the first original gang members, the OGs.

But then in L.A., it became the title for anything original. You got the OG 501 Levi's, the OG K-Swiss, OG Sheltoes. So it really just turns, the word is turned into being original. I wish I had a trademarked.

Yeah, right? I wish I had a trademarked. But it came from when we were doing gangster rap early, they didn't have a name for it. You know, when I was out, and then I had two albums out and Cube dropped straight out of Compton. He said, straight out of Compton, Crazy MF named Icekew

From the gang called And the press said Oh this is gangster rap And so we said okay cool And I said okay well then I'm the original gangster That's where I had to retag I had to reclaim it

Okay that's what that is You know me and school ED Was that jump came out off the porch with it So that's why we came with the title So it's classic material Classic material It's like let's make it bulletproof Yeah

Let's make it bulletproof. I'm not going to spend a whole bunch of time, say, YouTube, and get a half a million viewers and then get red flag. And I'm out of business. And I don't even know who put me out of business. I don't even, you know, because a lot of these companies, IG and all them, they're phantom companies. You can't find who runs Twitter or you can't.

And just one day you wake up and you're gone. And you're mad. Yeah. And I was like, we can't do that. Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved.

Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Every January, we're in

courage to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone. We talk honest. about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself and the people you love,

then Sacred Lessons is the podcast for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Dolorotcha on America's number one podcast network, IHeart.

It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea.

In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents, I lied to police, I lied to everybody. There were years right where I could not say your name.

I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, you my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years. I'll teach you sons of a to come around her in my wife. Boom, boom, this is the red weather. Listen to the red weather on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know Roll Doll. the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG.

But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it.

You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. I was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film.

How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast. wherever you get your podcast. If we're going to get involved, Bob, we have to make sure that we have this control.

And control is something that black people have never had in any part of this industry. You never, record labels stuff. Like even right now, Tretches working on records. We're working on music. But we're going back old school.

We're going back to the website. We're going back to digital downloads. I'm totally against streaming. I think streaming is the stupidest thing that ever happened to music. It's destroyed. everybody. If you're not Taylor Swift, you're going to die in the streaming community. You can't survive. Why exactly? I don't, you don't know.

You're not all. Well, simple as, as the fact that for a listen, I get 0.007 cents. Damn. Oh yeah. I did hear something like that. A stream. I never met a pimp that could break a penny down. They broke a penny down. That's cold. You know, give me a penny. stream. No, no, 0.007 a stream. So, you know, Snoop made it out. He said

he did a billion streams made under 50,000. Yeah. Come on. So how many artists are going to make that? So what you do now, you make a record, you throw it into the ether and you just hope, you know, now, when I first was making records, right, back in the dark ages, say I get a dollar a record. So I sell a million records. I get it. That's a million dollars. I got to pay taxes. I got to pay producers. But At least I can count it.

I know what it did. This, you stole it out there. Yeah. No album cover, really. People are just getting it. They're listening to it. It's on YouTube. It's like almost you're giving it away for free.

Yeah. Is that how you feel, track? You're going to do that on your next album? Lyrical limit. Lyrical miracle. No, lyrical miracle is free. Wow. Ain't nobody got to pay 15 songs.

Go on band camp slash Trestrob, SoundCloud, slash Trestrope. They've been asking for years or saying I should have done a solo album. So right now I got like so many catalogs, songs that's been there for years and new songs. Me and ICE did like an album, two albums, during the acting strike.

He was like, and COVID. He called me up, Tredge, what you doing? I said, why you sound like that? What's wrong? He said, I'm not working. I don't know what to do. I said, yeah, we got a studio right up here. You ready to start?

He said, I'm on my way right now. We did like three albums of Mack and Jackson and Stacey Adams called Black Cadillac. I started, once he went back to work after the strike, I started a solo project. So now I got this lyrical miracle out. I got another one called Mack and Jackson. I want my bitches back. The one after that is Malcolm Tretch, different, you know, songs for different errors. And then Lyrical Miracle, too.

so for this whole year, I'm just putting out free mixtape. Ice, do you have an issue with New School rap? Yeah, people used to think Ice-T didn't like new school. I just didn't like whack. You know, and hip-hop had that default word whack. Like when you start off as a DJ, you ain't dope, you whack. Then you get better. You know, a graffiti artist, you don't start out dope.

You whack. So a lot of music to me was whack. And I would speak on it. And then I learned, well, you don't need to speak on it. I also learned that my personality. perspective is just my perspective. And I learned how to keep that to myself because it's not everybody's perspective.

I like this kind of ice cream. You like that kind of ice cream. It's not. So I learned to shut my mouth about it, but certain things aren't my taste. And, you know, that doesn't have, and I don't want to ever cut off anybody's money. Right.

You know, I don't want to cut, cut off anybody's money. That's they, they got to go get their thing. But, you know. What made you learn that? Was it the Soldier Boy situation? Yeah. You know, and the Soldier Boy situation was big mix-up. What happened was I was in the studio. I never never told the story. I was in

studio getting ready to do a mixtape for one of my friends and as I was getting ready to record they like they don't want to hear you they want to hear soldier boy they want to hear Hurricane Chris they were stabbing me now that's how you get an MC mad that you're like what and I just start talking shit that fucking so like I don't even know what I'm like yeah you know but that's what you do if you want to get away rapper to go hard. They ain't checking for you no more. They want to hear it.

I was like, I went, barked on this food. I don't know. I didn't even really know him. So now this tape, the dude who did the mix tape took that rant and put it at the front of the mix tape. Oh, it wasn't even something I was supposed to come out.

You was just talking behind the scenes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now I'm bull. So now it pops up. Yo, my son, your dad. soldier boy's talking about you. I'm like, what, what?

They're playing this thing, and he's commenting on me. And then my son, who was like 16 at the time that, you got a reply. And I made some stupid reply. And then it was so, you know, but the way it came off,

it came off like, iced tea got up out of his bed and just went out. It was random. I'm like, Ice team is Soldier boy. And it, And that's, it was never intended

Soldier Boy, that's not how it was meant to be. You know, of course, they used you to antagonize me. And you call Hurricane Chris too. They was too. So I apologize. But I mean, at the same time, those are different styles of rap. He was at Ringtone Rap. And I was like, yo, you know, like, don't compare me.

I'm a different type of cat. Yeah. So, you know, I was insulted. And I don't know if that still insults him. So where are you in Soldier Boy now? I don't know. What kind of question is that, Maure? I'm just wondering that.

I never met you. I never met him. I never met him. I never met him and I wish him well. Okay. I never met him and I wish him well. You know what I'm saying? And like from that, like he said,

from that point I learned that my opinion that somebody else's music is my opinion and I should share it maybe in private but going out and speaking on people, it doesn't do any good for anybody. What I realized, especially from the younger artists, you'll say that. And it ain't that you said it's that their mama might like you, Ice Team. Or they grandma might like you.

They Aunt's me like, man, Ice-T said you whack. You can't go to the interview with that one. Yeah, I stopped calling people whack. You know, but that's part of hip-hop. Hip-hop always we rapped against other rappers. We said this is whack. You can't, you know, you can't deal with me. You can't do that.

But now I was, this was very early in social media. And in social media, you know, right now, we did this whole interview. That part where I'm talking about somebody else will be the part that people will take. So you got to be careful. People say another person's name, you know. Absolutely. Where are we going with this? And, you know, is that what I want?

That's not why I'm here. That's why I was so surprised to see how active you are on X because Twitter is like the worst side of it. Like, you get all of the worst over there. But, like, you, I mean, you reposting fan art, you respond into stuff. Like, you're just there all the time. You know what it is? I found out when I got on Twitter back in the day that it would be Bob rules. So what that meant was whoever had.

See, Twitter is nothing but a chat room. It's a chat room that it's constantly going. It's going right now. Everybody's talking. You choose who you want to hear about what they say. So you're throwing this stuff out. It's going out. And you got trolls.

Oh, I don't, we could be saying, uh, babies are great. Somebody's like, get babies. right somebody's gonna just jump in there so what I did was I curated my page if you say anything on my page that I slightly don't like you get blocked yeah you get blocked so like like I'm talking about like my my my my uh dot com that's how it's going to be yeah I'm not having any extra stuff so you come in there you say some crazy joke or something stupid you troll and block mute block me so I got a million point seven or whatever people that are really

solid iced tea fans on there. I blocked maybe half a million people. You know for real. Like you tweeted in celebration of MLK Day, and they turned it into a conversation about you and your wife, and I saw you responded to that one, too, as well. Like, stuff like that. What did they say?

Oh, the woman said this, I'm saying something about Martin Luther King. Have a great day. I showed him getting arrested. And somebody said, that's coming from somebody who's married to a white woman. I'm like, what the hell is that got to do with anything? If he really listened to Martin Luther King's speeches, that's what's part of his dream.

Right. You know. That is true, though. Dr. Humol don't want to hear that, but that is true. Yeah. Yeah, Dr. See, there you go. Names.

Yeah, the names. But I will say this, but I said this the other day when Lauren bought that up. You don't, we don't give iced tea and cocoa enough credit for being one of the longest running couples. Man, love it. 25 years. And be so unbothered by everything that anybody say, negative in the negative body. You have to. You have to.

it's me and you are friends right if me and you are friends our friendship doesn't hear anything that's going on out there because we know what it is so you can't you can't let that that's just like you know so i don't i don't really pay no attention to nobody and any and honestly people have given up like they'll hate on you and then they just give up yeah they just give up they're like there ain't no sense and that's oh you know we ain't talking about them leave them alone They, you know, so yeah, they kind of given up hating on me. That's all just a little. That's just a noise.

I want to ask you, what version of ISTILL are you most proud of? The rapper, the actor, the businessman, all the survivors. The survivor. My biggest accomplishment is transition from the streets. It's a difficult transition. I think all black people feel it. You know, there's a point where you are trying to elevate and you can't continue with your old way.

Yeah. You got to leave some of that behind, you know. And it's not that you're changing. You're evolving. You're evolving. In my career, you might have caught me doing some crazy stuff, but you ain't never seen me do nothing stupid. I never made donkey you today.

I don't plan on it. You know what I'm saying? That's what I, that's it. We might all do crazy stuff, but will you do something that's really straight up stupid? Right. So she's throwing hats in what you say, Oh, you want to get it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So wait a minute, you've been with me every day. No, no, this is for Charlotte. You know what I'm saying? I know you got Black Effect. I got a hold in court, you know what's crack? We've been supposed to talk about that. I know.

You were supposed to hook me up with Dolly four years ago. Damn, I'm gonna connect you with Dolly Rayna. See, everybody, you were supposed to be doing this thing for me. You're supposed to be doing this thing for me. It's time to check everybody. That's what he told me four years ago. I got you. I'm going to check them.

Every time I get out. Make sure y'all support the OG network. The OG Network, man. It's distributed in 186 countries. It's on Roku, iOS, Fire TV, Google Play, Apple TV, Android TV. Proud of y'all brothers, man. Thank you, brother.

Like mine. Thank you, Matt. Ice team, Tretch. It's caught. It's the Breakfast Club. Let's get right to the latest with Lauren. Yeah, remember to fuck your talk, LL.Cube. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down.

I'm being myself. I'm the source is trust. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Lauren. A little brown girl. look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that.

Take me through that. Who she's going. The latest with Norma Loose. On the breakfast club. L.L. Cool Ben. Talk to me. I just want to start off and say, do y'all know how blessed we are?

Absolutely, yes. I was thinking about that. I just was thinking about waking up and coming here every morning. I feel very blessed to be here. Oh, a load. That's super dope. Yeah, I was thinking about that.

And listening to DJ Clue, do that mix tape, made me think about that, too. Oh, that's great. All right. Let's get into the day. Okay. Eat your food. No, I'm fine.

I'm just like, it's so great to wake up and be with y'all every morning. All right. So, Ray J. So Ray J has shared a very terrifying health update. He says he may not be here through 2027 after having some heart issues. Let's take a listen to Ray J. 2027 is definitely a rap for me. No, don't say that, brother.

Don't say that. Don't say that. No, no. You're going to live long to see your children grow up. But guess what? More life to the brother. My baby mama. My kids gonna be straight.

If they wanna spend all the money, they can spend it, but I did my part here. That's okay. I shouldn't have went this hard, bro. Hard up on the right side right here. It's like black. It's like done. I thought I was a bitch.

So I'm like, I can handle all the alcohol, like I handle all the Adderon, but I couldn't. It curved my time here. I'm on like four or five bottles a day. Ten Addies. Ain't nothing happening to me. I'm undestructible.

I know way bigger drug dealers, I mean not drug dealers, drug users who've done way more drugs and harder drugs than Ray Jain, been around for a long time. So it's not too late to reverse whatever has happened. Yeah, but it's also how it affects the body. Drugs affect different people's bodies, but I just don't even like that talk, that conversation that. I don't even put that up there. Like money means nothing if you're not there in your kid's life. If you're not there to take him to his game, if you're not there to walk your daughter down the aisle, money means absolutely positively nothing. Them kids want their father.

I don't even like him saying that he put a date on it. Like, yo, don't speak that. It's existence, my brother. Like, do things to try to reverse whatever has happened. And where's he getting this information from? Did you speak to him? Ray J hasn't caught me back at all since the last time I told you I talked to him. Was he still in the hospital in that audio?

No, he's home. So for a background, remember our last report that we did, he was telling us that he was told by a doctor, a heart doctor, that his heart is only operating at 25%. So I'm assuming he's talking about that same doctor. This is where he's getting this information from. But yeah, so after he was released from the hospital in Vegas, that's when he gave us a 25% update. And then this is the newest update.

So he's home. And I'm not for sure which information exactly he was given because this is how he sums it up. But it does sound like it just, it seems like that's giving him a corrective course that he needs to be on. And probably giving him like the extreme circumstances if that doesn't happen. But I haven't talked to him to, you know. I didn't told him come see Dr. Joseph A. Puma, one of the best cardiologists in the goddamn business, man. Come to soaring medical. All right.

I didn't told Ray that. Okay, like a few times. Did you? Yes. Yeah. Set up an appointment for him. Yeah. Come to New York and get your heart stand.

I can't just set up an appointment. I can need him here. But I've told him and I just sent him a text other day like, bro. I didn't told you, come see Dr. Puma, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, sending some blessings to Ray J.

And hopefully I hope he calls after this. It's just checking because I think he needs to correct his mental. I think that's a big part of health. Physical health is your mental. You got to correct how you're thinking about what you're going through. Yeah. I know it's tough, though. But.

Yeah. And listen, you know, you can't stop whatever life has planned for you, right? True. But I still believe in the power of the tongue. Me too. Right? So I'm not going to say, hey, I'm going to be dead by 2000. No, don't talk like that.

At all. Don't talk like that. When my mom got cancer, they told us that there was a 70% chance because she was stage for it in her brain and her lung that the chemo and radiation would not help. She went through six rounds of it and they told us, oh, it's a miracle. But the whole time. But God. Exactly.

The whole time we were, I was freaking out. My mom was like, listen, baby, whatever was supposed to have. happens, it's going to happen, but I'm here. God's telling me, I'm being here. So we went through it. So you can't, your mental has to change around it because it's a battle. He's going to, once he gets through 2027 because he will, he'll have to like mentally kind of be in his space to keep up with it and take care of itself. First has to stop, of course, the drug and alcohol use. That's the most important thing. And lower the stress and hopefully he understands that and spends that time with his family. And take a break. Just take a break. Just take a break. Just take a break. Just

working, always moving. Always doing something. Always trying to do something. Just take a break. Because he's talking about still streaming a lot of things that he's going through. I'm plug. I do be wondering, right? Because I think about this when it comes to suicide. Like, we don't determine when we come here. But what if some people absolutely positively do know when it's time for them to exit? Or what if some people do know when their exit is going to be?

So if he really, really truly feels like that, he is going to go hard, right? And I think about somebody like a Tupac. Like, they always talk about how Tupac spent so much time in the studio. Like, he just knew he wasn't going to be here for a long time. Yeah, but he didn't take his life, though. I know that. He says suicide. But he talks about how sometimes...

I'm using different examples how people just might know. You might just know when you're... Yeah, like there's like a sense of something. Yes. And I think that's God's plan. Taking your life is something different. It's sad even talking about Ray J in this way.

So let's just wrap it now. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you. And the next latest, we'll get into Kanye West. I spoke to the president and CEO of the NWACP about whether the NWACP accepts or how they feel about the apology.

So we're going to get into that. All right. Let's lift the mood up. Happy birthday, Big Frida. You already know. A big Frida, happy birthday. Shulamane. Yes.

We're giving that dog with a too. Man, I swear I try to stay out of white people's business, man. Well, boy, when there's an injustice in the world, you got to speak on it, okay? Martin Luther King Jr. said an injustice anywhere. The threat to justice everywhere. And what happened to Bill Belichick was an injustice. And y'all know I'm not no Patriots fan. Dallas Cowboys all day.

But we have to talk about this situation for after the hour. You want to jump in white people's business? I have to. I have to There's somebody just told him You stay in the White House Because some things don't make no sense Okay

All right All right Well we get to that next It's the breakfast club Good morning I was donkey up the day Maybe Damn the he-ha

It's time for donkey Of the day I'm not trying to be donkey Today no more They should be embarrassed By what they already did I'm not making these people Do these things

Called donkey of the day And it really caught me Off Guard Damn Salome Who got the donkey the day today. Well, Jess O'Larias. Donkey today for Wednesday, January 28th,

goes to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee. Now, if you don't know who makes up the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee, it's one media representative from each NFL city, plus additional reps for cities with multiple teams like New York and L.A.

Some former players and coaches and a representative from the Pro Football Riders of America. Those are the people who vote on inductions into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And a candidate needs at least 40 yes votes which is 80% to be elected.

Yesterday, we found out that the former head coach of one of the greatest dynasties of all time, and it pains me to say that. The New England Patriots, Mr. Bill Belichick, fell short of those votes. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Bill Belichick is not going to be a first ballot hall of famer. I am a Dallas Cowboy fan.

I try to stay out of other teams' business, but I am a stickler for what's right and what's wrong, and what happened to Bill Belichick is just wrong. If Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Fame, then I will be the first to tell you that nothing means nothing anymore in America. Okay, nothing matters because nothing matters. Bill Belichick is a six-time Super Bowl champion as a head coach. He took the Patriots to nine Super Bowls as a head coach.

Two Super Bowl, he's a two-time Super Bowl champion as a defensive coordinator with the New York punk-ass giants. He's got a regular season coaching record of 33 wins, 178 losses. 31 and 13 in the playoffs. Okay, most playoff wins ever. He is the second winningest coach of all time, regular season and postseason behind Don Schula. Okay, 20 straight winning seasons with the Patriots,

17 AFC East titles. I told you nine Super Bowl appearances, 13 AFC championship games, three-time NFL coach of the year. If he's not the greatest NFL coach of all time, then who is? With that said, how is the greatest NFL coach of all time, or a person that's even, you know, in the discussion for greatest NFL coach of all time,

how is that an individual, not a first ballot, Hall of Famer? Listen, I am a hater, okay? I am fully aware of who and what I don't like, but I would never let hate stop me from being objective. By the way, I hate the Patriots, okay? I hate that they are really America's teen, okay, and my cowboys don't deserve that title anymore. I hate scandals like SpyGate and Deflate Gate. Why? Because I wish my Dallas Cowboys.

cheated too. Okay, if you're not cheating, you're not trying, and nobody tried harder than Bill Belichick. I don't like this one bit, not one bit, okay? I am happy Chador Sanders made the Pro Bowl, but we have to be honest, Chodor Sanders made the Pro Bowl

and Bill Belichick didn't get into the Hall of Fame in the same week. America, nothing matters because nothing matters. Okay, I'm going to tell you something that you don't want to hear, America. White people are under attack from other white people, okay? And I'm going to mind my black-owned business, but I just need to make that observation.

Now, according to ABC News, Bill Belichick reacted to being snubbed. Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. This morning, the football world stunned after former Patriots coach Bill Belichick was reportedly passed over for the Football Hall of Fame. I don't think anybody was expecting this. While Belichick remains eligible for the Hall of Fame indefinitely, reports indicate he did not reach the 40-vote threshold required for induction this year. If I were a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting body, I'd be embarrassed about it. And I'd make it very clear that I was not one of the 11-plus who decided not to vote for. Patrick Mahomes calling the snub insane.

JJ Watts saying, I can't be reading this right. Even LeBron James reacting, calling it egregious and disrespectful. Sources say Belichick was puzzled and disappointed, reportedly asking associates, six Super Bowls isn't enough? What does a guy have to do? Belichick not only has a record six Super Bowl wins with the Patriots, he won another two as defensive coordinator for the Giants and holds the record for most postseason wins.

This is disgusting. Okay, it makes no sense. If I voted for Bill Belichick, I would let it be known. We need to know who the haters are, all right? Because any reason that you're against Bill Belichick being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is definitely personal and nothing to do with his professional. Okay, a man makes a couple of bad life choices

and people hold it against him. By a couple of bad life choices, I mean a 24-year-old girlfriend when he's 73, okay, and going to coach you to the University of North Carolina. I don't know why he chose to go coach college football. Maybe he wanted to be somewhere where he can find another young girlfriend just in case this one doesn't work out.

My point is Bill Belichick not being inducted of the first ballot Hall of Fame is a complete injustice. Okay, like seriously, this is embarrassing and makes the whole voting process look like a joke. This is what you call human era, an unintentional action or decision that led to an undesirable outcome. And what happened here is you had one too many haters on the Hall of Fame selection committee.

And you can't have haters in this position because all of this should only be based on one thing. And that's merit. Okay, not politics, not personal feelings. It's simply does the person have the qualifications to get in or do they not? Bill Belichick is overqualified. And as I told you all the other day in regards to, you know, even things like political beliefs, we can debate values. We can debate about policy, but we can't debate about shared facts. And the fact is Bill Belichick is overqualified to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Please give the Pro Football Hallist Fame Selection Committee the biggest he all. Ridiculous. I try to stay out of other teams' business. I try to stay out of white people's business But this is ridiculous This is an injustice That just needs to be spoken upon Well thank you for that donkey today

I just can't believe what white people are doing The other white people out here White people White people Give me instrumental This is insanity What is going on in the world It's the only white instrumental you got

White people are going crazy on each other White people attacking white people Is happening more and more and more White crime It's getting crazy It is ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Are we shocked?

We're a little shocked though? Yeah, I'm a little bit shocked, you know? Okay. Eventually, you know, people cannibalize each other. Yeah. So let me ask you a question. What's that? Should we mind our business?

I'm minding my black-owned business. I'm just over here, observed. I mean, we can, like, poke and, like, have a little fun with it. Okay, Jessica, but the reason... Hey, yo, you're an idiot. But the reason you have to call out injustices like this, though, is because if they do this to build Belich, imagine, imagine. Bill and check, imagine what they're going to do to one of us. Okay.

They already do it. What you mean? You're right. Damn. You're right. You're right. 800585-105-1. White people!

That's why I'd be staying out of white people's business. Just don't, I don't, you know. So we only asking white people to call in. Yeah, white crime is increasing. We need to talk to our white brothers and sisters this morning. No, no, we do. We do need to check in. How are you feeling out there?

We need to check in with our white brothers and sisters this morning. I just want to do an energy check. So black stay back? A new year doesn't mean erasing who you were. It means honoring what you've survived and choosing how you want to grow. It means giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike Dolorotcha, host of sacred lessons. This podcast is a space for men to talk openly about mental health, grief, relationships, and the patterns we inherit, but don't have to repeat.

Here, we slow down. We listen. We learn how to be. how vulnerability becomes strength and how healing happens in community, not in isolation. If you're ready to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the year with clarity, compassion, and purpose, sacred lessons is your companion on your healing journey.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discussed why men, aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding

what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. This is Writer Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru.

And back then, I lied to my parents, I lied to police, I lied to everybody. There were years, writer, where I could not. say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can, to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years. I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around her in my wife. Boom, boom. This is the Red Weather. Listen to the Red Weather on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. You know Roll Doll, the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What?

And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. The guy was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood,

where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts wherever you get your podcast.

Listen in. We're just going to be, we're just going to listen. We're going to be observers this morning. Okay. I think we're going to be a sounding board. Yeah. I think that's the right way. Yes.

If you're just joining us, white people learn to attack from other white people. That's right. And this is what we need to understand right now. We are minding our black-owned business over here, but we are just making observations about what happening in the world, you know, to our white brothers and sisters. Bill Belichick did not get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Bill freaking Belichick, okay, a six-time Super Bowl champion, three-time NFL coach of the year, nine Super Bowl appearances, 13 AST championship games, the second winning as coach of all time. Most winning his coach in the playoffs ever doesn't get into the Hall of Fame. What are white people doing to other white people? It's white on white crime, and I think it's insanity. It's time to open up the phone lines for our white brothers and sisters. I've never seen the white lines this, this crazy. The phone lines is crazy.

The white lines. You have Kyle, Molly, Trish, Ronald. Unseasoned if we never hear it. Who you want to go to first? Kyle says he has a problem with the way you're singing, Jess. Let's do it. Let's go to Kyle. Kyle, are you there?

Hello? Yeah, I'm here. Kyle, talk to Jess about how she's singing. Talk to Jess about what? I'm sorry. What did you call for, Kyle? Oh, yeah. Okay, so that first quote, green day song you were singing.

is actually my chemical romance, the black parade. My Chemical Romance, the Black parade? Yeah. When I was a young boy. Oh, when I was the young boy, oh, my God. Jessica could be a fake white. She's been on Netflix for two days, and now all of a sudden she just randomly singing white people.

But did you hear the other two that I sung so greatly? Those were Green Day songs, right? Yes, those were Green Day songs. But when you said, oh, now I got three, I'm like, ah, she got two, I got a color. What black songs do you know, Kyle? Sing YG. Uh-uh.

Ah, you know, I can't say all them so appreciate you, though. I'm an Eminem fan. You know, that's right. That's one of my top three.

Oh, thank you for the opportunity, man. I got to set it. I got to get a pass. Thank you, Kyle. Thanks, Kyle. I'm like, Molly! Molly!

Hi. Hey. Hi, Molly. How are you guys? Good. Good morning. We're great. Awesome.

Good morning. You know. You're the real call. by the way. Molly, what are you calling from? Where am I calling from? I'm calling for, I don't know, Florida. Oh, for a lot of them.

Oh, I talk to us, Holly. What's up with white people? Why white people under attack from other white people nowadays? What's going on? I was talking to the other gentlemen. What people have lost the clock? They never have to get straight from the beginning.

I don't think people find kindness to be easy. I think that's a full-time job for white folks. I don't think what's two has come from having things because it feels the need to be kind to others. Molly, there's some nice white people. Man, shut up. Would you let Molly talk about her community? We got to mind my business. You don't know nothing about

her community. I'm mind my business. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Shut up. I'm minding my business, Molly. Go ahead. Go ahead. You're not wrong. There are some white people. I'm an big white person, but if I'm like another white person doing something stupid, I will first respond them. As you should.

I'll let them up. You're being an idiot. Stop. Thank you, Molly. I always say, white people should use their privilege to combat the prejudices that they see in the world. Especially when it comes from other white people. Molly said, you're being an idiot. Yeah, so back off. Back off. Yeah. We have, that enough. Julie.

Hi, Julie. Yes. Good morning. Talk to us, Julie. What are you calling from Julie? I'm calling from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Oh, wow. Nice. That's a white area. Yeah, that's white. I went to school near there. That's white. So talk to us. Why do you think white people are being attacked like this? How are you saying? From other white people being attacked by other white people.

Yeah. What's going on in your community? Obviously, Harris was kind of quiet, to be honest with you. But what you see on the news and stuff is like ice feeding and like murdering other white people who are standing up for, you know, the immigrants and the unjustice done, it's ridiculous. I mean, they really need to get their stuff together. I mean, they just need to do, in my opinion, they just need to do away with the whole ice thing. Oh, okay.

They're not doing anything good. I'm not a fan at all. Yeah. Thank you, Julie. The whole administration to go. Yeah. You said you want the whole administration to go. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, I always said that the Trump, I always said Trump was the Frankenstein monster of white supremacy. So it's like, you know, when you let something go unchecked and then, you know, you create this monster, right? It ends up cannibalizing everybody. Absolutely. Absolutely.

And the thing is, it's not even just, like, white supremacy anymore. It's, you know, the S-A that happens, you know what I mean? The whole obscene situation, it is, you know. You're going in, Julie. Yeah. Fethilia, it's all of it. It's not, listen, you cannot support somebody who has so many bad things. The punch is just don't stop at this food.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying I'm a plant fan. I'm not saying I'm a, I mean, not. not even a Democrat. I'm the independent. Okay. I'm just, I just can't keep going.

You're a good, you're a good, human who believes in right and wrong. Yeah, absolutely. That's all. But thank you for calling, Julie. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you, Julie. We're going to take some more phone calls.

I'm going to play Justin Bieber just for you, okay? Oh, my God, no. She don't want to hear some hip-hop. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Julie. What do you want to hear, Julie? What do you want to hear, Julie? What do you want to hear this morning? I definitely would hear you want to hear this one.

I definitely wouldn't. hear the baby song by Destiny's right. Oh, it's I said it, yes. And shout out the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I went to school down the street from there. That's when you first did all your hard drugs. Yes, it is, and? I'm just making an observation. Okay, yeah.

Let's get into Justin Bieber, baby, baby, baby. And these are white-only lines this morning. I want you all to know that these lines are white only this morning. If you're just joining us, Charlemagne gave Donkey the day to the pro-football Hall of Fame selection committee, man, because there's no reason

that Bill Belichick shouldn't be a first ballot Hall of Fame but guess what? He's not. He didn't get the votes required to be elected. That makes no sense. He is one of the greatest coaches of all time. Some say the greatest coach of all time. By far his resume says he's the greatest coach of all time. And it's just

you know, it's another example of white people are under attacked from other white people. This is crazy what's happening. So we're opening up the white lines, 8005. We don't have white lines. We have phone lines, but we're making them white only this morning. White-on-white crime is happening more and more and more.

So black, stay back, y'all. So we're... Call tomorrow. These are for the whites. Christina. Hi, Christina. Yes. Good morning.

How are you feeling, Christina? What are you calling from? I'm calling from favor of North Carolina. Okay, salute to the Ville. I know that's right. Talk to us. Yep, yep. Why are white people being attacked by the white people?

Oh, my God. I'm sorry? Are you related to Jay Colin anyway? No, no, not. Oh, okay. Who's that? Who's that? No, you can be related to Jay Cole on his mom's side?

No, I'm saying? She's like, who's that. Oh, got you. No, she knows who's. Oh, I know who Jake is. Sorry, girl. I'm seasoned. I'm not just white.

I'm seasoned, okay? I know that's right. Okay, okay. Hello, Lowry. Sorry, talk to us. Well, I was just saying how some people need, like, these privileged white people need these things to happen to them because they don't understand what it's like for other people who I like in the world with things happening and going on right now unless it happens to them. They can't have empathy. They're incapable of that.

So, I mean, it's fine, but it's happened. Maybe now you can understand what other people have gone through. That's a good point. You're saying that they need to see it firsthand to understand what's really going on in the world to others, is what you're saying. Right, right. And sometimes it doesn't even work, but that's very ignorant. Well, we appreciate you. Thank you for calling.

Absolutely, babe. Thank you all for talking to me. I'm so excited. Yes. Thank you for calling. And we have Patricia on the line. Patricia, good morning. Good morning.

It's Pat. Oh, my bad, my bad, Pat. Oh, wow. I'm a truck driver from Delaware and the crabbers. Pat, are you white? Yes, I am. Okay, just making sure. Hey, Pat.

What's going on with all this business? Why are white people under attack from other white people? What's happening, Pat? You know, it's all the politics. It's in the household, like, you know, causing divorces and all that. But my feelings with Billiotech, they're blackballing. He's not going to coach again. They're going to see all the hate, and they're going to put him through next year.

But still, he's just being blackball. Damn, man. That's not right. And the other thing I wanted to say, y'all be talking over Lawrence too much. My girl from Delaware. Hey! Wednesday, should I give the news. Y'all be talking over too much.

I come down on that little bit. Pat, mind your business. Pat. I'm going to tell you something. I don't like that you said Bill. Billetek being blackballed either. He's being whiteballed. Okay. That's right. You got that right. All right. Bye, Patrick. Have a good day, Patrick. Take one more.

Peace, how are you doing? You should have had me as the first caller. I guarantee you it would have been a rap after that. What's your name? So this is Christine. I'm originally from Massachusetts. I'm a die-hard Patriots and I will live and die for the Patriots. Bill Belichick definitely got snubbed and it had to be some of them newscast. and stuff because you know they're all haters. So you think it's just hate are white people really under attack from other white people? Well, you know, we're getting shot in the faces

these days and shot on the ground but it's about time that white people stand up and actually say something and do something because they've been sitting down for so long on the sidelines pretending stuff ain't happening right in front of their faces. Yo, dude, I've been waiting to get in touch with this radio scene for the longest.

Especially yesterday when you talked to that dude from Houston, and he tried to say that Alex Freddie was at a protest, and all the guy was doing was walking across the street. Yo, this is how dumb people are. They see stuff, and they have no idea what they're talking about, and then they go and spewing, and everybody repeats it, like, telephone.

And by the time it gets to the dumb-ass masses of what 85% are, you're screwed, because now everybody's a bunch of deaf, dumb, and blind mob. That's true. Now, you sound like you got your 5% lesson. Man, you're not going to tell us. Yeah, you do, absolutely. My ex is from Rhode Island, yeah.

I was crazy. So you, so you, you, you, you, you, you're one of Yakub's children, but you know your 5% less. That, that's correct. That's right. That's right. I know that the white man is the devil. That orange is a bigger devil. Listen.

Wow. This is a white woman talking, right? What's your name again? Justinna Valentine. I'm ashamed of these people. This is disgusting. But I'm not white. I'm.

Irish, French, Italian, Polish, goddess, go on. My kids are all that in black. I'm a legal nation, baby. I know what it's about to have a multiracial society. You just named five different flavors of white. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You appreciate you. You're a human first and foremost, and I love your spirit.

Absolutely. I love your spirit. That's all that matters. Thank you so much. She off white. Good luck in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I like she off white. She sounds like Justina Valentine's though.

Don't she? I love that type of spirit. That's what I'm talking about right now. I guess that's the moral of the story. What you say? I'll ever call her a milk cricket. All right. Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up,

so don't go anywhere as the breakfast club. Good morning. Fuck your talk, LL. Cube. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself. Damn. I'm being myself. Yeah, source is much.

I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Lauren. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that. Take me through that. the latest with Lauren Lose. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coole. Cool, baby. Talk to me.

All right, guys. So, real quick, there's a lot to get through in this hour, but I did want to give a quick update. We had talked about the blindside actor, Quentin Aaron, yesterday. So there has been an update. So after some tests, his family have let some outlets know that there was a rare cyst that was

discovered after a series of those tests that were found on his spine. Now, they plan to do some more testing on his back and see kind of what he may need, but they think that he might need extensive physical therapy and might be confined for a wheelchair for some time. But there will be more to that as things develop. Now, switching gears, Kanye West. So we've been talking about Kanye West and the apology that he issued in the Wall Street Journal to the Jewish and the black community. So we heard from the ADL yesterday, and I reached out to the NAACP and spoke to their president and

CEO, Mr. Derek Johnson, about Kanye West and the apology. And if the NACP accepts it, should we, should we not? And here's what he had to say on Kanye West apologizing to the black community. If he's sincere about apologizing to the black community, talk to the black community, come to the black community, to the places where he has been able to perfect to promote his music and his voice. He knows those things. My concern has always been with the entertainment class. And I mentioned it as I think last week, who's surrounding him and advising him to ensure he,

he's actually talking to the target audience that he intends to talk to. So an apology is to the black community that come talk to the community that he seek to apologize to. Yeah, and they also gave me a written statement, which basically, you know, just talks about the journey of a person who's dealing with mental health issues. And it just sounds like, you know, it's one of those things where they're like, if he's willing to do the work, we're willing to be here and have the conversation. This conversation has gone on far too long because the reality of the situation is none of us are got. And all of us are going to need some sort of forgiveness

at the end of the day. And listen, the people who want to forgive them, they can't. The people who don't want to forgive them, they don't have to leave them. I'm sure there's some Jews people who are going to sit back and wait to see what his actions are,

just like there's some black people who are going to sit back and wait to see what his actions are. It's really all on Kanye. This has nothing to do with us at this point. Very much. Nothing. Yep. Yep.

And in the Vanity Fair interview he did yesterday, he did mention, he pointed out some of his recent successes to make people know he doesn't need to do this for success. He's already seen. it and his bully album is awaited as he says via Spotify

pre-sales because it was like over 500,000 pre-saves for the album so we'll see what happens. Now I'm taking it on down to Miami so TI was in the club and he was hosting and the drinks got the best of him. Let's take a listen to TI at the club.

You're from what's here and all ass must see this tip this size no one lemonade or what you got to say about us And never eat us here And I am here

And it will not stop Anybody got to probably meet And when they get me and say Push the motherfuck up a Hey man All you are to stop being scared And getting the ring with tip for a versus Okay

So he can show y'all How thorough that catalog is All right I'm sick of it Well he did address The next morning he woke up And he had some thoughts on the night before. Let's take a listen to TI. Quite a time, quite a time last night.

Listen, first of all, let me tell y'all. King is a metaphor for the ego. And the ego is necessary when you elevate your consciousness and you want to be a better version of yourself. You must be the ego. And examples of why is last night. Land night and lived too much ego. Ego got carried away.

The DJ was not the problem. my drinking was. So I just want to put that out there, let you know, still working on myself. We'll continue to do so. And we're going to continue to have fun and treat people as we would like to be true.
