I feel great. I feel great. Last night was long.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I felt like I went to bed so late because I was watching the- DNC? Yeah, the DNC. What did you think? I thought it was really good. I felt like they tried to make it like a pep rally vibe. It did. It felt like that. It felt like a pep rally, right?
Starting point is 00:04:38 Which I thought was amazing because, you know, they talk so much about the Democrats losing the momentum and all that, and now she's reinvigorating it. So I thought that that was good. But I was tired. How would you feel if you were Joe Biden, right? Because it feels like they were like, yes, we need change for the next four years. Yes, it's been like, it just seems like they just was,
Starting point is 00:04:56 I get it, but it just seems like they kind of just ish to what he did. I don't think so. I think they're just honest. It's like you got to lean into where we at right now. Where we at right now is people do need to feel like there's a big jump between what we had and where we're going. The hell y'all talking about? DNC last night.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It stays on too late, I'm going to be honest with you. Yo, I just said I'm tired. I stayed up to watch it last night. Right when I was about to go to sleep, I'm talking about because Kamala Harris' husband was boring me. So I was really about to go to sleep. I'm talking about because Kamala Harris' husband was boring me. So I was really about to go to sleep. And then right when he got off, Michelle came on. I'm like, oh, now I got to stay.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Now that's what I was here for. Now you got to stay. But I liked how they did it because she came right out. And then she brought President Obama right out. Right out. That whisper.
Starting point is 00:05:39 You saw the whisper? When he came out, he whispered. I was like, they are so cute. You should have opened up for Michelle though no for real he was mid compared to Michelle
Starting point is 00:05:47 yo you know what I'm saying he was solid but he was very mid compared to Michelle he should have opened up for Michelle
Starting point is 00:05:53 and being that you know the top of the ticket is a woman now I just felt optically it would have been good for him to go first and let Michelle
Starting point is 00:06:03 close the show cause her speech she bodied oh what, she bodied. Oh, what? Yeah, she bodied. Yeah, she definitely bodied it. Lil Jon came out and performed. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Turned down for what? And then windowed to the walls. Mm-hmm. But he said Kamala Harris to the wall. I don't know what he was saying. I feel like Black. Yes, he did. He said Kamala Harris to the, he said something like that.
Starting point is 00:06:18 I haven't, bro. Black Twitter, but Black Twitter bended that. Or Black X, whatever you call it. It was like to the windows, to the walls. As soon as he was announced as the windows, to the walls. As soon as he was announced as the VP pick. That's corny. Windows to the walls is corny.
Starting point is 00:06:31 What? Windows to the walls is corny. Why is it corny? Because it's corny. It's just corny. What you wanted to know? What should it have been? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I don't need that. No music, no vibes. Just straight talk. I don't need that. That's what's wrong with y'all. Y'all need vibes all the time. Y'all better get some policy. Y'all better worry about some legislation. Y'all okay?
Starting point is 00:06:50 Vibes. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Will.i.am will be joining us this morning. You know, Will.i.am has this new radio experience that's AI driven. And we'll talk to him all about that. I don't know if we're going to be taking our jobs, but we'll ask him all those questions. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:04 And then we got front page news with Morgan Woods. She's actually out in Chicago at the DNC. So we'll kick it with her in a that. I don't know if we're going to be taking our jobs, but we'll ask him all those questions. All right. And then we got front page news with Morgan Woods. She's actually out in Chicago at the DNC. So we'll kick it with her in a minute. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:07:14 We are the Breakfast Club. Jess is out. Lauren LaRosa is filling in. And let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning. Happy Wednesday, y'all.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Y'all feeling all right? Yes, ma'am. Blessed Black and highly favored. How are you? Doing well. All right. I'm a little tired because I was out. I had to talk.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I had to, you know, see Obama speak last night. Yes, former President Barack Obama spoke on Tuesday, the second night of the Democratic National Convention. He told the crowd that another Trump term would be dangerous and that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are the leaders America needs right now. Let's hear more from former President Barack Obama at the DNC. Here's a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually worse. So Obama said Harris will get up every morning and fight for the American people. He also talked
Starting point is 00:08:21 about Tim Wall's flannel shirts, saying they don't come from a political consulting, adding he's the typical American, you know, all-American coach and things of that nature. Obama also warned Democrats must remain focused on the next 11 weeks in order to beat Trump and added that one of his best decisions was appointing Joe Biden as his vice president. He said the two became,
Starting point is 00:08:41 although they came from different backgrounds, they became brothers. Meanwhile, former First Lady Michelle Obama also spoke at the DNC on Tuesday night before introducing her husband, Barack, of course. She said that Kamala is bringing back hope to America with her presidential run. Let's hear more from former First Lady Michelle Obama. America, hope is making a comeback. Look, Kamala knows, like we do, that regardless of where you come from, what you look like, who you love, how you worship, or what's in your bank account, we all deserve the opportunity to build a decent life. See, his limited, narrow view of
Starting point is 00:09:22 the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard work and highly educated, successful people who happen to be black. Yeah, man. I said earlier, Barack was solid, but I thought he was made compared to Michelle Obama. Driving a clues bombs from Michelle Obama. She was out there. Man, she was spitting. He actually should have opened for Michelle. Michelle should have closed it out, if you ask me. He said that. He actually did say, he's like, how can I follow that act? Well, you shouldn't have. Of course, he added that, she added that the Harris-Walls ticket,
Starting point is 00:09:57 with the Harris-Walls ticket, voters are embracing new enthusiasm. And she said the U.S. is ready to turn the page on fear and division. Also yesterday at the DNC I spoke exclusively with Martin Luther King III who talked about how awareness of gun violence and gun reform is important to him adding that his father and his grandmother were victims of gun violence. He also said this election may one day be the most consequential election in history. Let's hear from MLK the third. And what I mean by that is democracy is on the ballot box.
Starting point is 00:10:31 We've had a candidate tell us that if you vote for me, you may not have you don't you won't need to vote again ever. That's a frightening proposition. And no one in this nation who believes in democracy should support a candidate who's touting a platform of that nature. But the other side of the coin is we have a vice president now who can and will become the president who is talking about and living the concept of bringing people together. Every problem we have in this nation can be resolved, but it will never be resolved if we're at odds. Yeah. You're absolutely right. 100% correct.
Starting point is 00:11:17 If you're wondering where Harris was yesterday, she actually jetted out to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she spoke to a packed house of about 15,000 supporters last night at Pfizer's forum. And that was actually live streamed in to the DNC. I also spoke exclusively with the mother of Juneteenth, Opal Lee, who said there's still much work to be done. Memphis Congressman Justin J. Pearson, who encouraged young people to vote. R&B singer Raheem Devon, who encouraged artists to use their art in times like these and auntie reclaiming my time
Starting point is 00:11:48 Maxine Waters who spoke about black women leading the charge. So make sure you check out that coverage on the Black Information Network and we've got all your DNC coverage as well. And how much pressure is on the VP to deliver a home run speech right? Because you've had some amazing speeches this week. You've had Hillary Clinton
Starting point is 00:12:04 you've had AOC you had Ralphie You've had Hillary Clinton. You've had AOC. You had Ralphie L. Warner. She got to have us. And Michelle. It got to be like, it got to be a great church. She got to kill it. She got to take us to church.
Starting point is 00:12:13 She got to take it. She got to turn it up. She got to have us in tears. She got to talk the policy. Like she has to hit so much stuff. A lot of pressure. So eloquently. What you just said, Lauren,
Starting point is 00:12:21 is the biggest thing. I think she got to talk the policy because I feel like, you know, last night we got hope, right? But hope is the bare minimum. I think she got to talk to policy because I feel like, you know, last night we got hope. Right. But hope is the bare minimum. And I understand why it's important to have hope, because hope is like a glimpse of light and all the darkness that we've been seeing. But now that we've given people the hope and we've given people the fear, it's time for Vice President Harris to bring it home by talking about actual issues. Talk about tangible things that American people actually need. The economy. Affordable health care. The border. Folks want to know how you're going to put money in their pocket and how you're going to keep them safe.
Starting point is 00:12:48 That message that the VP is pushing about rebuilding the middle class. We need to be heavy on that tomorrow. That's right. Heavy. Heavy on policy tomorrow. All right. Well, thank you, Morgan. We'll see you next hour.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Yeah, we'll cover what's going on on the other side of the aisle. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:13:14 This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk. I hate the way that you dress. Everything with me is blessed. Call up now. 800-585-1051. Not just me.

Starting point is 00:13:37 I got two things. The first thing, I am like extremely pumped right now about this DNC. I am pumped about this election coming about this DNC. I am pumped about this election coming up. And you know what? I mean, at first I was feeling a little, I was feeling really down about, you know, Biden and I was feeling
Starting point is 00:13:56 unsure about Kamala. But honestly, I'm feeling this new, like, this new, I don't know, this new energy. I don't know. I'm feeling a new wave don't know this new energy I'm feeling a new wave It took for President Biden to get out the way Which I've been saying for the past year He was the one slowing things down
Starting point is 00:14:12 He was the one that had to go God bless his service But he had to go I've been watching a couple of videos of Kamala Telling these white men what the hell it is And seeing that It's just yo, this is what we need. This is what America needs. We need some olive spray, oil sheen, hair bounces to let these people know what it is, you know?
Starting point is 00:14:40 And I don't know. I just feel good about that. But the next thing I want to get off my chest. Now tell them. Now tell them what you're really upset about. You talk a lot about these toxic studs, and you already know I'm a recovery. I mean, I've been reformed. What, you're a reformed stud?
Starting point is 00:14:56 I'm a reformed toxic stud. A hostage stud? What's that? No, reformed toxic stud. Oh, toxic stud. Okay, okay. Got you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:03 All right. I'm a reformed one, you know? You ain't talking about these females that put us in positions where we end up looking toxic. No, no, we're not going to blame the toxicity of studs on other people. That is victim blaming. No, no, no. Because I ain't going to lie. I had a situation a while
Starting point is 00:15:25 ago this is before i got married before i was reformed and i ain't gonna lie i was messing with this chick she told me everything was gonna up and up i'm chilling at her house kicking it you know i'm playing with the sun i'm i'm i'm right there and lo and behold, if that daddy didn't walk in the door, man, you don't know what it feel like to be a woman and have a man looking at you like you a man. You knew she had a baby daddy, though. But she probably thinking it's all good if you got me in the crib. Exactly. And I'm up here playing, having a good time, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:05 thinking everything's all easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy, and baby daddy walk in, and he looking at me like, no, no, and I'm like, honey, I'm a woman. I'm a lady. This is what I don't understand about studs, right? They come in with their nice baggy T-shirts on, their baggy sweatpants, their nice sneakers, and then they got that five-speed internal vibrator and wonder why these women losing
Starting point is 00:16:31 their damn mind. You know what, Charlamagne? Somebody hurt you. Some woman out there hurt you. And I don't know who it was, but she hurt you. No. You know the toxicity of your type. Mad toxic stuff came up to me at the car show and was like, yo, tell Charlamagne we ain't all toxic like that.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And the crazy part is every stud I know that used to be toxic or is toxic know they toxic or used to be toxic. So what does that tell you? They was toxic. Yes, they know. They not delusional. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now.
Starting point is 00:17:05 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Get it off your chest. Hey, Josh.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I'm George. How you doing, Mr. Andy? What's up, sir? What part of Jersey? Patterson. Okay, Patterson. What's up? Get it off your chest, brother.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I migrated to Florida like you people came through. South Florida. I want to get off my chest, man. How you guys falling for Kamala? So bad. I mean, you guys are falling head over heels for this lady. She was VP almost four years. She done absolutely nothing.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And she copying patron Trump's no-tax-on-tips. And everybody just falling for her. I mean, it is ridiculous. What's going on with y'all? I think that's a motor. I mean, y'all, man,
Starting point is 00:17:48 you too, man. Justice guilty, man. I mean, now you envy so much because you somewhat 50-50,
Starting point is 00:17:54 I can see it. But Charlotte, man. Actually, I've been supporting the vice president since 2020. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:02 I was on the, I was on, I did a couple of campaign stops with her in 2020. I like her message of rebuilding the middle class. Don't you want the opportunity to own a small business? Don't you want the opportunity to own a home? Don't you want to see more money in working class
Starting point is 00:18:15 people's pockets? And I like the fact that she's put her money where her mouth is in regards to mental health. $285 million to increase the amount of mental health professionals in schools. That's stuff that I can get behind, you know, her being a leader in the maternal health space. That's stuff that I can get behind. Those are tangible things I can put my hands on to say, you know what, I can get behind that.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Do I love the whole Democratic Party? No, but she has some policies that I can get behind. So you're going to tell me the past four years has been going on, everybody's been hurting. She's done absolutely nothing for the border. That was her one job as VP, absolutely nothing. She was just a face. Do you not know she is not who's in charge of this kind of on and running things in the Democrat Party? But that's the point.
Starting point is 00:18:56 That's what the vice president. That's the point. When you say a vice president. And by the way, I had to temper my expectations, too. But when you say a vice president wasn't by the way, I had to temper my expectations too, but when you say a vice president wasn't doing nothing, that's the point. That's what a vice president is supposed to do. But she has been doing a lot.
Starting point is 00:19:13 But a vice president is supposed to be quiet. She's not the person in charge. Hello, who's this? This is E from Detroit. What up, Doe? Get it off your chest. Good morning, y'all. I ain't really got nothing to get off my chest.
Starting point is 00:19:24 I just want to shout out my daughter's lemonade business. Selling in a big three. Her name is Iamari. Y'all can go follow her on Instagram. I-M-A-R-I underscore lemonade. You know, we got a couple of super producers. Yes, we do. Where at?
Starting point is 00:19:39 Tell people where they can pull up. That is what's at 7 Mile and Evergreen at the Nicky D's. 7 Mile and Woodward, Desk Girl Donuts. We're all over the place. She got a cash app? If somebody's out of town, can they just give us some money to give some free lemonade to some people that walk by? Yes. So we got the cash app, Dollar Sign.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I-M-A-N-I-E M-I-N L-E-Y. And how old is she? Follow us on Instagram. Seven. Seven, okay. Yeah, I'm going to vet it first. No, you're not, man. You're going to support that little seven-year-M-I-N-L-E-Y. And how old is she? Follow us on Instagram. Seven. Seven, okay. Yeah, I'm going to vet it first. No, you're not, man. You're going to support that little seven-year-old girl, man.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I'm going to look at her Instagram and see if she really got a lemonade stand. Okay, well, I mean. Well, thank you, E. I-L-A-R-I underscore lemonade. All righty, good luck. All righty, thank you. All righty. You know what else I want to say, too?
Starting point is 00:20:22 It's 76 days to the election, right? Right. I'm not telling you who to vote for. I'm just telling you who I'm choosing to support. Thank you. There's nothing wrong with hearing both sides. There's nothing wrong with hearing everybody's policy. And like you said, you vote your best interest. You don't vote because if a celebrity tells you to vote, you don't vote because Charlamagne, myself, or Lauren tell you to vote. You vote your interest. You hear both sides, and you decide what you want to do. Yeah, and even when the guy called just now and said that we falling head over heels for him,
Starting point is 00:20:57 you know the first time Vice President Kamala Harris was on Breakfast Club was 2018, right? We've been introduced to you to Vice President Kamala Harris. She's been a bit of a twice- you to vice president she was a senator why as a person who recently fell back in love with her I am head over heels and I don't care that people are upset about it I don't think you should fall head over heels though I mean I think you should look at her policies and see what policies you like I mean that in saying like it's not like a she can do no wrong she's gonna let you know yes and i think that you should hold people accountable for things especially people who need something for you politicians need us like we need them right but i don't think there's
Starting point is 00:21:32 anything wrong with being loud about supporting her if you were a little bit unsure like after she got into the office of vp if you we you expected certain things and then you felt like whatever your expectations were whoever you are we were all going to vote begrudgingly yeah we were all like oh god okay here take it now you got a little enthusiasm you got a little excitement even if you got just contentment yeah that's cool but i don't think there's nothing wrong with that but michelle obama said something very real last night i can't remember exactly how she said it but we ain't got time for no bs she said that too but she also said that uh there will be times but she also said that there will be times these people let you down.
Starting point is 00:22:06 There will be times when the vice president lets you down, Tim Walz lets you down. There are going to be those moments, but you know, you just got to,
Starting point is 00:22:12 you know, stay steadfast. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now we got Just With The Mess with Lauren LaRosa coming up.

Starting point is 00:23:31 Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

Go. We gonna have a conversation about what we think the... Yeah, what we think the issue is. Because no one knows.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I'm saying that because... You just blamed it on her, but continue. I did not. What I'm saying is that it is very well known that J-Lo has been married a few times. She's been married four times. So, the Ben Affleck situation was supposed to be... And people were so the ben affleck situation was supposed to be and people were so excited about benifer because this was supposed to be like the one she spent the block they spent the block this was supposed to work out it was familiar territory but there was
Starting point is 00:29:55 trouble in paradise like we had been seeing her with a ring without a ring we've been seeing them one time they were arguing or i had a little grunt disgruntled situation on the right carpet um so yesterday um uh Tuesday JLo filed for divorce in LA uh she listed the date of separation as of April 26 2024 um she filed on the day that is marked as the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding so when they got married you remember they got married in vegas and then they had this big ceremony in georgia the house was like such a big deal because it was like one of the houses that symbolized the time from their first time being together which didn't work out it was supposed to be her fairy tale so that date was significant as well and then tmz who broke the story is reporting that a source is telling them
Starting point is 00:30:42 even though that this is not i guess listed in listed in the documents, that there was no prenup. So everything that the two, Ben Affleck and J-Lo, have earned while together, including several big movies and different projects, is community property. And the source is telling them
Starting point is 00:30:56 that they haven't hashed it all out, that they've been trying to figure it out behind the scenes, but it hasn't been as pretty. She did file pro se, which means she goes and she files without an attorney. And some people will say, if you file pro se which means she goes and she files without an attorney and some people will say if you file pro se that means that you and your other person your strange
Starting point is 00:31:09 person have figured out some sort of agreement yeah where you just want to go get it over with and start the paperwork in the legal process because you guys have already figured out but tmz is being told that they have not hashed everything out when it comes to like the money and the divorce itself so this is is it's major news because like i said like j-lo she's been married to um now ben affleck mark anthony chris judd and oh johnny i hope i'm saying his name right um she's been seen with a few other people outside of that and i did not know she was marrying these people i knew her and mark anthony was married yeah i didn't know she's married to these other people yeah and um we know the first one the first one nobody knows his face that was oh Johnny Johnny was the first one and then uh Mark Anthony was
Starting point is 00:31:50 after that and then Chris Judd I'm sorry again who's that I can't remember wait was the backup she married the backup the backup dancer they got married oh Johnny hate on the backup dance I'm not no way I had a mix up see it's so many wow it many. Wow. You called her a hoe. That's crazy. You are wild. I don't think that she's a hoe. Why say that? Wait, let me finish what I'm doing. We're going to get to all that.
Starting point is 00:32:11 The pot you're trying to stir. So, O'Johnny, and then it was Ben Affleck the first time. No, they were engaged, her and Ben Affleck the first time. And then she met Marc Anthony during that, after the engagement split. They got married. Then they got married. Then Chris Judd. Then she actually married Ben Affleck. She didn't marry Chris
Starting point is 00:32:29 Judd, did she? Yes, Chris Judd. Does it matter? We got it. She's been married a lot of times. This is my thing. That's why I don't like when Lauren says, there's so many. Damn, just hating. You ain't had one, Lauren, but continue. Oh. Wow. I don't know why I'm just talking. That was a stab. Don't listen to me. Go ahead, Lauren ahead i'm listening
Starting point is 00:32:45 you lucky i think your wife is such a queen you are lucky to have her because i'm gonna lit you up that's true uh-huh anyway so the conversation around this is that uh is it that j-lo can't keep a man that's what you've been trying to get at now haven't i've been saying that for the past five minutes see how lauren been circling the block, looking for her shot? You see? Why are you just ain't shoot from the beginning? You done, Mr. Avenger? Are you done?
Starting point is 00:33:12 I will say, they never look happy, in my opinion. Every time I see them in public, they just didn't give me happy vibes. No, in the beginning, I was team Bennifer. Like, when they got back together, it was her and it was Ashanti and Nelly. Now, I... Ashanti and Nelly, they both look happy. She never looked happy. Even when it went down like...
Starting point is 00:33:27 We don't, but what I see when she slammed the door, when she was trying to get in there, they had their little Starbucks. They never looked happy. In the beginning, when I first was watching all of this turmoil or whatever was happening, I felt like, dang, J-Lo, what's going on, sis? Why can't you keep him in? God damn, Lauren! It might not be J-Lo, like, what's going on, sis? Like, why can't you keep him in? God damn, Lauren. It might not be J-Lo's fault.
Starting point is 00:33:47 So I think that that's the first instant thought when you see something like this. And then I just went back through the dating history from even when, like, she was, like, being spotted and posting pictures with Drake and, like, whatever. And honestly, it was like a fun thing. You don't remember they were posting the pictures and they were, like, laid up together? You don't remember that? This roster you making for J-Lo is crazy i don't know what i don't know what j-lo is public information but what i'm gonna say is is that i no longer think that j-lo can't keep
Starting point is 00:34:11 a man i think j-lo knows her worth because in several of these situations there were things that were reportedly happening like even with a ride right like with the a-ride situation you're just throwing out mad names y'all don't remember when she was with... No, we don't! This is crazy what you're doing to Jennifer Lopez. All I'm saying is that people are going to look at her and look at her age and be like,
Starting point is 00:34:35 she should have stayed where she was at, and that's the instant thing to think. But I think she's to a point where if things are not right for her, she's J-Lo. She's getting up out of there. And maybe there's nothing wrong with that. Well, drop on the clues, J-Lo. She's getting up out of there. And maybe there's nothing wrong with that. Well, drop on the clues, J-Lo. J-Lo got options.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Exactly. Don't none of y'all other women try this at home. You're not J-Lo, Lauren. Now, listen, I wonder what the drive is. I didn't even say nothing. I wonder what the drive is
Starting point is 00:34:56 when you are somebody like J-Lo. Like, are you looking for love? Do you like being married? I'm sure she's looking for love. Like, what's the reasoning for being married? We all love love. So I'm sure she love love so i'm sure
Starting point is 00:35:05 she loves love i'm sure she likes being with somebody cuddling up with somebody but you gotta go jump jump the broom i think also too and a lot of the her marriage situations uh the amount of publicity she gets because she's jennifer lopez has sometime come into the relationship and played an issue and i think when you're in that world and you find someone who feels like, okay, we in this together, you want to stick with that. It feels safe, and it's hard to feel safe when you're Jennifer Lopez. How can you feel safe with somebody who ruined two superhero movies? Ben Affleck ruined two superhero movies.
Starting point is 00:35:36 He doesn't deserve J-Lo. You ruined Batman and Dead Devil. Why does he deserve a J-Lo? Well, you can't put his acting on his love life. Yes, I can. Okay. So you're a bad actor, so you're a bad husband? I don't know. I'm just talking. It's radio.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Alright. Well, that is just what the mess with Lauren LaRosa. When we come back, we got front page news and we'll be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy we are
Starting point is 00:36:06 the breakfast club just as all maternity leave lauren larosa's filling in and let's get back in some front page news what up morgan what up what up so former president trump we want to know what's going on with him right he is counter-programming the democratic national program the democratic national convention with a visit to michigan. Speaking from the small town of Howell, Trump focused on the issue of crime. Ironically, let's hear more from former President Trump. The past four years, the Marxist left has waged a vicious war on law enforcement in our country. They've taken away the dignity and the spirit. We want a crime-free America. We're going to stop violent crime in the United States.
Starting point is 00:36:47 You don't want to be there no more, man. You can hear it in his voice. He's just talking because he got to let them know he in class. You want to take a nap? Donald Trump is over it. He does not want to be the Republican nominee no more. He is hoping that Republicans do him the way the Democrats did Biden. He wants to be put out of misery.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You can hear it in his voice. Nikki Haley told y'all months ago. He is hoping that Republicans do him the way the Democrats did Biden. He wants to be put out of misery. You can hear it in his voice. Nikki Haley told y'all months ago, she said the first party to get rid of their 80-year-old candidate was going to win this election. That's why Democrats have so much energy right now. Republicans should have done the same. There is no way Donald Trump should have been y'all nominee. He just wants to go fishing. He just wants to go fishing to play golf. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:37:22 You can hear it in his voice. He does not want to be there no more. I find it fascinating that he chose crime to talk about being that he is a 34-time felon anyways. Meanwhile, his VP pick, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, appeared at a campaign event in Battleground State, Wisconsin, that was focused also on crime. Vance challenged Harris to speak to press. Let's hear more from J.D. Vance. Kamala Harris is going to run the campaign that she runs.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I would say that I wish that she would do what I'm doing right now, which is talk to the media and actually answer some tough questions. Yes. So this comes also, as Donald Trump says, and respects RFK and would probably consider him for a job with the administration if Trump wins. He also referred to Kennedy as a brilliant guy and said he'd be honored if Kennedy chose to endorse him, which has yet to happen. Now, speaking of people who worked for Trump, his former aide took the stage at the Democratic National Convention yesterday in Chicago. Stephanie Grisham showed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Let's hear more from her.
Starting point is 00:38:30 I saw him when the cameras were off. Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers. He has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth. He used to tell me, it doesn't matter what you say, Stephanie. Say it enough and people will believe you. But it does matter. What you says matter. And what you don't say matters. I am tired of the Trump is terrible rhetoric, though.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Because it feels like a waste of time. You're not changing anybody's mind. Like, you know, Trump supporters are his supporters. They're going to support him regardless. I don't think he's going to he's growing his base in any way, shape or form. So that's those are the moments I wish that I would rather just hear people focus on, you know, policy and things that the American people actually need. Well, they're hoping that they can write like this morning. Somebody called. He was a Trump supporter.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And a lot of the Trump supporters have everything all wrong, right? They have all the policies wrong. They have what the vice president and president has done wrong. So people are trying to say, well, he's a liar. And I want you to know he's a liar. Because people really believe what he said is the truth. And there's also a lot of people who know he's a liar. They know about the criminal convictions.
Starting point is 00:39:39 And they don't care. I feel like the bad boy persona works for him. Ride or die for the Donald. We've been watching Trump since 2016. There's nothing new you're going to tell us about him. What's his edge right now? He don't have one. Before, he was speaking straight to the people.
Starting point is 00:39:58 He was cutting through because of the stuff he was saying and doing. Now, it's like... No energy, no vibes, no policies, not not even no jokes his jokes ain't even hitting no more i think he's kind of scared yeah ever since that assassination attempt so going back grisham resigned from the administration after rioters stormed the u.s capital on january 6th 2021 she said she did leave it to um the she said she did leave it to the insanity grisham says she she believes in Kamala Harris and added that Trump isn't who he says he is. She served in a number of roles in the Trump administration, including as the first lady, Melania, Trump's chief of staff and White House press secretary at a time.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Yeah. So other speakers that also took the stage last night at the DNC. Second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Bernie Sanders. Wednesday or today, we're scheduled to see vice presidential nominee Tim Walz deliver his acceptance speech, along with former President Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Yeah, the men got to bring it. All the men have been very, very, very lackluster except for Raphael Warnock. Raphael Warnock was good. He took us to church.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Barack was decent. It just seemed very mid compared to Michelle Obama. Raskin was good. But all the ladies, all the ladies been bringing it. All of them. AOC, Hillary, Michelle Obama, Jasmine Crockett. Like, they've been bodying it. It might just be a time for the women.
Starting point is 00:41:25 You're probably right. That's why Barack should have opened up for Michelle. Bam, bam. Right. I like that, Lauren. Okay, but unrelated. Let's switch gears a little bit. Unrelated to politics or the DNC, but still very important news.
Starting point is 00:41:36 The former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd. That's Derek Chauvin. He is now in Texas. Though yesterday, Chauvin was relocated from a transfer facility in Oklahoma to a minimum security federal prison in Big Spring, Texas. Now, there's no word on to why the move took place,
Starting point is 00:41:54 but this does come on the same day that fellow former Minneapolis police officer Thomas Lane, who was also involved in that event, he was convicted in the Floyd case. He was released from prison yesterday. So I'm not too sure what's going on with that in Minneapolis. But yeah, that's your front page news.
Starting point is 00:42:13 All right. Thank you, Morgan. Yeah. Follow me on social at Morgan Media, M-O-R-G-Y-N-M-E-D-I-A.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is filling in for Jess. And we got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. He's back. Will.i.am. What's up, y'all?
Starting point is 00:42:52 Good morning. How you feeling? I'm good. Thank you guys for having me back. It's always great to be here. I mean, every time you come, you give so much information. So it's never enough to have you once. Oh, thank you. Thank you. It means a lot. It means a lot. And congrats. Oh, thank you. I like watching you on The Daily Show. It's Oh, thank you. Thank you. It means a lot. It means a lot. And congrats. Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I like watching you on The Daily Show. It's really, really dope. I appreciate that, my brother. Now, you got a new program that's designed to take us out. That's what I see. No, no, it's not.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Radio personalities, DJs. You're getting us about it. We're interviewing the guys They said you came to the radio station to announce that they would probably need to resign. Yeah, that we're going to need to resign. We're going to need a job.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Shout the head in the back. Pause. Is the name of it Radio Fire or to resign. We're going to need a job. Shout the head in the back. Pause. Is the name of it Radio Fire or the FY.AI? Which one is it? It's Radio.FYI. Radio.FYI. Okay. So, break down this new platform that's going to be taking out jobs.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Right. So, it's not going to take your jobs. A lot of people are, when they think of the word AI, they think that their job is going to be threatened. And there's some jobs that will be unstable. But in this case, I created radio.fyi to like augment and dimensionalize radio. I love radio and no, in no way do I want to like put something out that will disrupt or unstabilize this format, this community, this way of informing and engaging. That's the last thing I want to do. But when I was doing my show on SiriusXM, I realized, wow, check this out.
Starting point is 00:44:14 I got something that could go out and fetch information in real time and expand my knowledge as I engage or inform. And I wanted to do that for all DJs and hosts and journalists why should I be the only person that has like this super tool and so if you're if you're broadcasting you now have a different co-star or our co-host or a seat for example Charlamagne's there with computer Lauren's ever her computer you got your phone I got the cameraman there if this was like radio in 1950, there was no computer. There was no phone.
Starting point is 00:44:47 There was no camera. So you've added new technology to your broadcast. If you're going out there and try to get a job, try to get a job without a bank account, without a laptop, without a phone. It can't work in the workplace without these tools so when it comes to like your a broadcast or radio why not have something instead of typing the information and then reading through it something that you could banter with live about what the broadcast is okay so you wouldn't need a co-host basically no you you still need a co-host because you need something to banter with it okay but you need somebody to fact check it okay and break it Like just like if you got somebody here and somebody dropping BS
Starting point is 00:45:27 you're like I don't really know about that Charles. I got you. I got you. And then Charles would have to be like okay here's what
Starting point is 00:45:33 I'm talking about. So if you're in here having a conversation with a politician and they're talking about some legislation and you can call them on it right then
Starting point is 00:45:40 and there. You can be like yo AI co-host is this dude capping? And the AI would be it got infinite ability to go out and get the right then and there. You can be like, yo, AI co-host, is this dude capping? And the AI will be up. It got infinite ability to go out and get the right truth and knowledge. But sometimes it could hallucinate. Then you got to push it and push it and push it to break it.
Starting point is 00:45:54 It, too, could make errors and mistakes just like a person can. It's built off of a neural network. But it adds for a richer, real-time, deeper engagement on the information you're trying. So students can use this in school, too. So if a teacher's teaching and the teacher's not teaching... You can't take that as a problem. The proper thing you can do. I just have to be like, teacher, this is BS.
Starting point is 00:46:12 I graduated... Not at an HBCU. Those black teachers are going to be like, you in that bot, better get out of here. But it's a fact checker, right? Yeah, it's a fact checker. I use it at Harvard. I graduate this year from Harvard. I use my AI as like like a a study buddy like for
Starting point is 00:46:26 example say for example was mathematicians or at one point in time it was like taboo to rock into a class with a calculator now people that are building tall ass buildings simulating them to where so are they the earthquake proof you need calculation you need these types of simulations to erect awesome buildings you know so calculators have now been accepted in school. In the next couple of blinks, it will be the norm to have these agents or AIs in the learning environment. So a teacher will be like Christopher Columbus founded America and the calculator and the AI will be like, and then explain what it is. It can't disrupt though, right? You said it's not supposed to disrupt.
Starting point is 00:47:03 What do you mean disrupt? It won't interrupt the class like what he's saying. Or will it? Because that's my whole thing with like you take that bot into certain classrooms and it's interrupting the class.
Starting point is 00:47:11 It's like, how is that? But you got to prompt it before. It don't just talk. It's not just going to be like bleep bleep. It ain't going to be like some RTD tune. Oh, okay. Where it's just going to start. Oh, so this is an actual.
Starting point is 00:47:21 No, no, no. The bot goes and just like. Come home, man. She's going to take it with you. She's going to take it with you. She's going to take it with you. So check us out. So like I said, do you remember when we was talking and I was like, they're probably going to get freaked out and say like jobs are going to be taken.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Exactly what just happened. But anyway, say what's up. We here. I told you I was going to bring you on to the show. Say what's up to everybody. We started. Hey, yo, what's up, Breakfast Club fam? Thanks for having me. Yo, like like i said i knew there might be
Starting point is 00:47:47 some worries about jobs being taken but let's clear the air this is about enhancing not replacing we're here to elevate the game with radio fly ice saying what's up to charlemagne dj envy and lauren and a big shout out to j Hilarious on Maternity Live. Let's get into it. You feel me? All right, let's dive into this. Yo, so I was telling them that like if you're doing a radio show, you got a laptop or you got a computer with systems like you. It's like a conversational laptop phone that's able to go out and crawl and get like real time information. For example, why don't you pull up some of the highlights from DNC in Chicago right quick? laptop, phone, that's able to go out and crawl and get like real-time information. For example, why don't you pull up some of the highlights from DNC in Chicago right quick so we could get into some of the hot topics that people are talking about based on some of the speeches.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Hey, so check it out, fam. We got the latest buzz from... As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're
Starting point is 00:49:14 going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know,
Starting point is 00:53:55 follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all it's light-hearted pretty crazy and very fun listen to post run high on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts yesterday's democratic national convention in chicago just like i told you with radio.fyi it's like having a conversational laptop that can pull in real-time info. Here's what popped off. Highlights. She. Speakers. We had heavyweights like Hillary Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jill Biden, and President Joe Biden himself dropping gems.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Today's lineup, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama will be headlining today. I get it. I can see why you still would need people. what you'll think about these hot topics and speeches feels like the energy is through the roof right let's dive into it i get it i can see why you still would need people yeah at the same time because i could then go in there and be like okay so did they say anything about like ai in this in this conversation as you know we're in a presidential election we have new platforms so by time that it's 2028, the world's going to be totally different. So when they talk about the future, why they're talking about the future of like forever learning, they talk about
Starting point is 00:55:32 the jobs that are most likely to be disrupted, like white collar jobs, financial advisors or lawyers, or the creative space. Who programs that though? Can I ask you a question? Oh boy. Did Kamala Harris the creative space but who programs that though like can i ask you a question yeah oh boy no it's the same question did kamala harris vote to stop taxing tips in 2022 so uh fam there isn't a
Starting point is 00:55:57 specific vote in 2022 where kamala harris acted to stop taxing tips as vice president she's more involved in executive actions and tie-breaking Senate votes rather than specific legislation like this. You feel me? However, the topic of taxing tips is always relevant in broader discussions about fair wages and workers' rights,
Starting point is 00:56:18 especially among service industry folks. If we want to dive deeper into this, we should look at overall legislative efforts around wage and labor rights what do you think fam so it's right to keep moving yeah he's absolutely right because that didn't happen how do you make sure that there's a rumor online or the instagram meme going around saying that she did that but that it never happened but that's that's my question who programs like how do you make sure it's right yeah how do you make sure it's right so our crawler
Starting point is 00:56:44 architecture is getting information from credible sources so we'll get from you know political sources that are rss feeds that are feeding the truth information what we don't do is crawl the open web that's when you get that's when you fall into like bunch of capping a bunch of hallucinations and fake news when it's all when it's trying to source everything that's out there. So we get it from credible sources and only credible sources. And if you ask it a question that it doesn't know, it's going to be like, I don't know the answer to that. All right, we got more with Will.i.am. When we come back, don't move.
Starting point is 00:57:15 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's filling in for Jess.
Starting point is 00:57:23 We're still kicking it with Will.i.am. Charlamagne? You know what I like about this? I feel like it could revolutionize the podcast game. You know what I mean? Because that's one of my biggest issues with podcasting
Starting point is 00:57:33 is that they're, and not even just podcasting, there's anybody with a platform, but in particular, like the YouTube spaces, the podcast spaces, there's so much misinformation. And I've been seeing
Starting point is 00:57:41 these kids online using ChatGPT to get information in real time so if they start using that i mean especially because all the news right now like it's coming from social media and a lot of social media people just regurgitate information so if you have that it kind of counters but to your point of like it not just spinning the web right like when everything happened with the olympics when they were trying to they were having a conversation about the fighter whether she was transgender or not there were
Starting point is 00:58:07 valid sources that were having a transgender conversation like she was a transgender woman there were also valid sources that were not having it and saying that she was not in a situation like that how would that that ai bot know which one to lean on was a man what's her name Khalif was a man let's ask it was a man Khalif born with a penis Jesus Christ I don't think you talk to it like that if it's a transgender conversation the person wouldn't have been a one just ask if a man was a transgender it's a transgender woman um you know that girl that was on the Olympics and everybody was saying... No, man. Aman Khalifa.
Starting point is 00:58:50 But... Aman... You know that girl... Oh, sorry. Aman Khalifa. But if that's how you talk to your bot, you have to talk like that
Starting point is 00:58:58 all the time? No, I just talk to it like I talk to the homie. It don't understand that? Do your thing. Go ahead. But that was him talking to the homie.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Yeah, go ahead. You know that girl that they thought was a transgender in the Olympics? I think she's from Northern Africa and whatnot. And then she was
Starting point is 00:59:13 boxing somebody in the home. The girl that she was boxing said she hit hard so she had to be a dude. One, what's the girl's name? Or the person that they said is transgender's name? And what was the mix-up behind it?
Starting point is 00:59:24 Why did social media get it wrong if they got it wrong? Is it right? Is it correct? I just need to know the information. Sorry for being vague and asking the question. I'm representing the majority of the people out there that were confused about the matter. Wow. I got you, fam.
Starting point is 00:59:42 The athlete you're referring to is Ksten Semenya from South Africa. No, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no. You said South Africa. I don't think he's from South Africa. Yes, he is. Nigeria.
Starting point is 00:59:53 That's North Africa. Okay. The boxer from North Africa. Gotcha. My bad, fam. Let's sort this out. One. Athlete name name as of now the athlete in the olympics the boxer that hit that chick so hard she thought she was a dude and then she's from algeria from what algeria
Starting point is 01:00:16 from algeria you know that's what i'm talking about aman khalif all right fam i've got the scoop the athlete you're talking about is Imane Khalif from Algeria. Here are the deets. Athlete Imane Khalif. Sport. Boxing. Controversy. Imane Khalif has been surrounded by gender controversy and faced baseless accusations regarding her gender identity.
Starting point is 01:00:42 These allegations came after she won Olympic boxing gold and hit an opponent so hard that it sparked debate about her gender identity. These allegations came after she won Olympic boxing gold and hit an opponent so hard that it sparked debate about her gender. Despite questionable claims of unspecified gender testing by the International Boxing Association, the International Olympic Committee, IOC, stood by her, affirming that she was born a woman and identifies as her biological gender. Social media impact. Misinformation spread quickly, making her a central figure in culture wars. Khalif faced what she described as a digital lynching amid these allegations.
Starting point is 01:01:18 And Monica Khalif is rocking it, legit. What do you think, fam? The question is, how do you... Okay, so say, for example, I asked you this fam the question is how do you okay so say for example i asked you this question the day of when when when social media was circulating a bunch of you know false domes and mad capping how would you decipher the truth from the noise you being an ai agent or you know a conversationalist how would you get the right information or would you circulate false thumbs all right that's a solid question fam let's break it down separating the
Starting point is 01:01:53 truth from noise one source verification always start by checking multiple credible sources look for news from verified outlets like bbc reuters or ap news these platforms have rigorous fact-checking processes to cross-referencing compare information from different sources if multiple reputable outlets are reporting the same facts it's more likely to be true free official statements seek out statements from a But in this case, multiple situations were fanning and reporting what we now know is false. So how would you decipher between the two? Because then they'd have to apologize for circulating false stems. Because if you have 10 sites, six of which are reporting false stems, four of them are true.
Starting point is 01:02:43 And social media is amplifying and circulating them even more you being an ai agent and ai persona how would you decipher what is true or not or would you partake in circulating false stems as well i'm curious to know got you fam deciphering the truth amidst the sea of falsehoods is like finding the real diamond in a pile of glass shards here's how i'd tackle it on source credibility trust established sources prioritize information from well-established and reputable sources over lesser known ones major outlets often have stricter editorial standards and fact-checking procedures track record i'd look at the track record of the sources if a site has a history of reliable reporting it's more credible to official statements and primary sources
Starting point is 01:03:32 and to make it you're probably going to have like seven i'm sorry for interrupting i'm just on the radio right now if i wasn't on the radio we could just banter all day and you do this in how many seconds because it would take me like a day just to go through it and then you know or journalists would take them hours how fast are you going through all these sources to be able to get the truth and compare and and do your analysis no no worries i get it radio keeps you on your toes so let me break it down quick and clean speed of analysis milliseconds i can aggregate data from multiple sources they just took my job no take your i i'll be positive does the ai have like it's a great companion literally everything he just described that
Starting point is 01:04:17 day is what i did i got online i looked at who's saying yes who's saying no i was like okay because i know the inner workings who do i i know their processes so who is most credible all the time and then i said there has to be an official committee making a statement and i looked for that and cnn had it and then i went with that because i have someone dependent on as a journalist if it's wrong he literally did everything i would do he did in a millisecond yeah but it took me like 10 minutes. So now imagine you. OK, so what's the best way to look at it? Looking at Nike's Nike. Nike has a swoosh logo.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Nike also has their just do it tagline. Why the tagline? Why do they have to have a tagline? Why can't their logo do everything and the name Nike? Why the tagline? Well, the tagline is going to give you like this a different perspective on what nike is about so in this case this ai is your tagline gotcha you're still you you still are going to represent your truths and how you go out and report that truth you just now are doing it at
Starting point is 01:05:18 the speed of light with something that you could banter with and more importantly if you then go engage on social media one day you're going to have your lauren ai whatever you want to call it it's going to be synonymous with you like nike's logos synonymous with nike like their tagline synonymous with nike you're going to have your thing that's a great analogy so from that perspective if you wanted to engage online you only could engage with maybe five people in 10 minutes span time in this case your ai agent can talk to a million people at once summarize all of its engagements and then have one conversation with you all right we got more with will i am when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy
Starting point is 01:06:04 we are the breakfast club lauren larosa filling in envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club lauren larosa filling in for jess hilarious we're still kicking it with will i am now you're talking to your ai uh person does your ai person have feeling because you're saying sorry i apologize for cutting you off so does it have feelings if you didn't apologize would it talk back to you rude oh no that's just how i was raised okay no i west coast West Coast. Yeah, I was just raised that way. He was like, I'm sorry for cutting you off right now, but we can get back to banter later. I apologize. And he's like, okay, fam, it's okay for cutting me off.
Starting point is 01:06:33 It's just weird that it's NAI. Yeah, and that's just the conversational piece. The radio piece, I'll show you this one station that we have. FYI Radio. on a station that we have. It's so exciting. Good morning, Will.i.am. You're tuned into FYI.radio where we put the AI in radio.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Dope. It's a fantastic Tuesday morning here in Atlanta and I hope you're enjoying the... I'm in New York. I'll be in Atlanta. And I hope you're enjoying the... I'm in New York. I'll be in Atlanta in a couple of days. Hey there, Will. I am.
Starting point is 01:07:14 I see you're planning to travel to Atlanta in a couple of days. What a perfect time to arrive. Just in time for Invest Fest week. It's going to be action-packed with all sorts of financial insights and business discussions. Let's get you in the mood with some great music. Enjoy this tune from AeroStar Commas.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Stay tuned and have a fantastic trip to Atlanta. How do you know you're going to do InvestFest? Because you're on the deal? I think it's just telling you current things that are in the area. That are similar to your interest. So this is an earn your leisure station. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:07:49 So we took everything that earn your leisure does, collaborating with the guys, aimed it all at a station. So now this station is reporting earn your leisure POV. Gotcha. So I could ask questions about investing. I could ask questions about everything that is reporting to really like knowledge up on finance and dig deeper in all the things that are important to earn your leisure. that station and so what we did with radio.fyi is that we simulated how it goes from information talk bad under it um asks you a question like hey why don't you hit that mic button to engage also to copyright right copyright i don't know okay so you're talking it talks over music as it's giving you the information it says hey why don't you hit that center mic button if you have any questions on what we're reporting or if you're confused about what we're reporting or if you want to go deeper and banter on what we're reporting.
Starting point is 01:08:50 And then after that discussion, be like, okay, we're going to go to a song. Here's such and such by such and such. tell you more segments on on you know hot topics current events or a market how the market's behaving how investments are uh blockchain bitcoin whatever it is that the subject is or the or the broadcast is you can go deeper and deeper wider and wider broader and broader um on that on that feed how do you feel about because it seems like you're really into like making this like factual accurate so it doesn't scare people when you see all the fake AI videos like the one right now like Trump and Kamala Walking on the beach and like just some of the misinformation How do you feel about that? And how do people protect themselves?
Starting point is 01:09:34 I people don't want to invest in this like how do they protect what they're investing and so it doesn't end up like that Okay. So what I see like text to image that's Photoshop on steroids early 2000s, I could take a picture of anybody, put it in Photoshop and take hours editing the picture to do whatever you wanted to do with it. Like that has always existed since computers, since paintings. A motherfucker could paint anything on a canvas and use their imagination to do that. Photography, you could, if you were real slick with the photography, you could do some type of manipulation on that. It's art and expressive. And it's to the viewer to decide, well, is that real or not?
Starting point is 01:10:13 And because we live in a world where misinformation is now entertainment, and then what turns into entertainment gets distorted as truth because people have objectives or ulterior motives to deceive people or confuse people we as the the viewer and the listener we have to just be a little bit more you know cautious of like is this fake or is this real like we need to put it in our society as just people in in this digital society where it's indistinguishable from the information that we get and what's real and what's fake, we need to take more caution.
Starting point is 01:10:51 It's like when you're walking down New York, you've got to look left or right. When you go to London, you've got to look right or left. Like when you're crossing the street, you've got to be mindful. You ain't just out there like do-do-do-do-do-do. So when you're crossing these digital streets, you've got to be mindful. But see, that app, that does everything right so like even if you're in sales and you have to write a 30 second spot for let's say you're wearing gucci a 30 second spot for a gucci shirt that's a new line you can put it in there that 30 second slot will come right out so you don't necessarily it'll help
Starting point is 01:11:17 the sales department as well oh no and by by this time next year it will be the sale you'll be able to purchase through it. Now that host is now your sales agent and you can transact. It will have GPS, turn-by-turn GPS. So if you're in a car, if you're walking on a bike, you have your radio station. And that station not only telling you the traffic, it's also giving you a better route. Also, I want to purchase this. And when you get to the place you just pick it up if you can't pick it up it could also connect to like a
Starting point is 01:11:47 Some other type of agent or a person to go out and pick it up for you Like I want to take radio and do radio would never been able to do that is for transactions real-time information Assistance and guidance but more importantly take a DJ or host and supersize, supercharge them. Every time you come here, man, I feel like I'm not using my brain enough. Can they download that? How do we get that? Oh, so FYI, you go to FYI.ai.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Radio is out. Our personas are there. We built a persona for the Earn Your Leisure team. They're one of the first folks to get their own voice for their station. We would love to do a breakfast their station. We would love to do a breakfast club station. We have a meeting with Time now. Hopefully this meeting goes well.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Just putting it out there in the universe. That's so dope, man. Does it know your personal opinions? In a Drake-Kendrick, can you make it say things so the host doesn't have to be the person that, oh, this opinion is coming from this person. It's like, no, it was my AI co-host.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Like, is that a thing, too? If we built a persona for Lauren, you can make your persona however creative you can have it have a stance. We just don't support. I don't want to make like hateful agents. I don't want to like distorted like who wanted to beef this one. I want you know, the host got to get into stuff sometimes. And sometimes I don't want to like distorted like who wanted the beef this one, one, I want, I want,
Starting point is 01:13:05 you know, the host got to get into stuff sometimes and sometimes people don't want to. So I'm thinking like people will lean on a box so that you don't
Starting point is 01:13:11 have to be the person that is the face of what was said. It wouldn't do that. There's a thin line that I don't want to cross. Like,
Starting point is 01:13:17 yes, you can do that. We, we're at a place you could do. You can have it do whatever you want it to do,
Starting point is 01:13:22 but we don't want to go there. We want to cross that line. You don't need no AI shock jocks. You know, you know, you know how the people going to do, but we don't want to go there. We want to cross that line. You don't need no AI shock jocks. You know how the people are going to get with stuff now. All right, man.
Starting point is 01:13:29 That's who I am. We appreciate you for joining us, bro. You will not be a billionaire without us. Okay? If there's a way, like, seriously, if there's a way to, like, rock with you, Charlamagne, and... I'd love to. I was going to talk to you about that off air.
Starting point is 01:13:41 It's who I am. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you, thank you. Now let's get to jess with the mess with lauren la rosa on the breakfast club On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture show. With Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the man.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Talk to me. So Beyonce has a new endeavor. It is a whiskey. It's called Sir Davis Whiskey. Now this, I mean, Beyonce is Beyonce, right? She's an amazing businesswoman. She drops stuff all the time. But I think this is so exciting because number one
Starting point is 01:14:25 it's a whiskey i i kind of threw me off that she was so into whiskey but according to all of the reports it is like one of her favorite things um according to like her palate and all her tasting that she loves but it's named after her grandfather um sir davis and you know her son's name is sir as well and it's going to be a part of um like's in partnership with Moet Hennessy. LVMH. You know. Jay-Z has Ace of Spades with LVMH. And there are reports that Beyonce has already done everything she needed to do. As far as submitting it to different tastings.
Starting point is 01:14:55 And things of that nature. So that if anybody said. Look. This is just another celebrity. Throwing their name on a product. And putting it out there for us to do what we need to do. And go and buy it. She can combat that already.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Like, she was so smart for that as well. And even just the way that the bottle was shaped, it's kind of like almost like a collector's item. It's priced at $89 retail. It's on pre-sale now,
Starting point is 01:15:15 but you can get it September 4th, I believe. Yeah, September 4th. That's her birthday. I did it? Yes. Is it her birthday? Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:22 You supposed to know these things. I just got into the beehive yeah yeah i just got there because mine is the third so this is the fourth yeah but it's just fire though i feel like with beyonce like it's always lit watching her like expand her portfolio of things and watching how she goes about it like to know kind of what the criticisms would be already and if she drank whiskey no problem with it that's her that's her thing that's what she drinks and she she should know she should know what she likes in a whiskey. For some reason, I don't know why,
Starting point is 01:15:47 I imagine Beyonce is just like a champagne drinker. Like only. I don't know why. We don't know her. We don't know her. But you envision things about your favorite celebrities in your head. Like, I just envision her always drinking like a nice champagne, on the back of a yacht, being Beyoncece hair flowing in the wind which you got
Starting point is 01:16:05 i guess i'm just old i'm 46 i don't have those visions of celebrities no more but i'm glad that you do um lauren and you just kill all the optimism in the room you just like you came in with your cape it's like avenger dark ninja like relax well i mean i also when this when this dropped one of the things that i thought about too was i remember I was watching um Meg Thee Stallion um sit down with Shannon Sharp and she was talking about how like Meg promotes alcohol so much that she should get into the business let's take a listen we have that Beyonce is the person who actually inspired me to get my own tequila because I used to I used to be the cognac queen I'm still the cognac queen yeah but as much as I used to you know enjoy cognac and I promoted a lot of people like liquor brands she was like the next time i
Starting point is 01:16:49 see you need to have your own right you need to have your own alcohol alcoholic beverage right and i was like you know what you right queen i am gonna have my own so now i have my own tequila it's called chica steve retinas and it's gonna be so cute i've been serving it throughout my tour right and everybody's been loving it that is true but that's also a way of saying damn you must drink a lot hey listen you drink a lot that's that's really that's your liquor you need to get your own liquor because you drink a lot but there's a lot there's a lot of uh things that that's mixed with whiskey too like old-fashioned and things like that so maybe that's what she drinks she might not drink whiskey straight but she might drink an old-fashioned not for sure i just thought it was fire and i my
Starting point is 01:17:25 envision in my dreams of beyonce no congratulations to be yeah salute to beyonce salute to megan making out her own cognac too no i believe you don't have it yet that's what she said tequila it's a tequila yeah it's a tequila she is there she's been like tasting i know she was walking around with it during her tour and stuff like that somebody just just be starting yeah yeah for sure now russell simmons um he had had to come out and take up for his friends that come and see him out there in bali let's take a listen black people did you forget that i got 10 000 black men out of jail and that i changed the factory farming industry forever and then i registered more of you to vote than probably anybody you know and i worked for black lives matter and every movement that's helped our people.
Starting point is 01:18:07 All the women's rights and even gay rights movements that I did so much work for. To let them demonize me in such a way that my friends cannot visit me without you attacking them. But yet you stand next to Donald Trump. Knock it off. I'll be in New York next week. This idea that I'm hiding is stupid. I'm your friend black people and i've been my whole life a supporter of all the initiatives that lift you up i love you i just don't want my friends attacked lauren answering me a question what who is he

Don't they have that right? Well, not only that.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Remember one time they said he was there because he was hiding and he couldn't get arrested. But he comes here all the time. That's always been the story that he went there because it was like his way to get away from everything that was happening. And that's why he said that in the video. Like, I'm not hiding. I'll be in New York next week. Yeah, I didn't like it. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into
Starting point is 01:19:38 her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
Starting point is 01:24:03 where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.

Starting point is 01:24:46 pretty crazy and very fun listen to post run high on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts he said that though why why you felt like it was like meet me outside yeah you might pop up and all of a sudden boom here you go you're in handcuffs nah nah he comes in I know that but I'm just saying sometimes that's how tell me that's not the world
Starting point is 01:25:09 that we in now yes absolutely you know what I'm saying absolutely we see the video and all of a sudden next week he in New York and he arrested
Starting point is 01:25:14 you be like why they just cause they heard the video and they prepared something that's what I'm saying man the universe be trying you sometimes but is it fair
Starting point is 01:25:21 cause at this point he has never been convicted of anything he's never been charged right yeah so is it fair because at this point he has never been convicted of anything never been charged yeah so is it fair that these celebrities get the backlash that they do for going to hang like hanging out with a friend and even if he was charged from who though like social media yes yes oh what like it goes insane okay i mean that's what he just has to stop caring it's to the point where like there was I forget who but one person
Starting point is 01:25:46 I remember went out there and they had to get online and be like that's my friend I can go see them if I wanted and they're absolutely right and that's what I mean
Starting point is 01:25:52 like whenever there's these allegations there's some people who believe the allegations and there's people that actually know these folks who don't
Starting point is 01:25:59 and they have the right to not believe them and if they still want to be friends with the person they can still be friends with the person who are you to tell them
Starting point is 01:26:04 that you can't be friends with that person or are you to tell them that you can't be friends with that person or that person is outcasted I say this all the time I still think that we're too concerned with social media what social media says
Starting point is 01:26:11 and what people care about if that's your friend that's your friend you don't got to prove nothing to nobody Russell you need some stronger yoga if you care
Starting point is 01:26:18 he was doing something he was like doing that was yoga he was doing something like that he was doing yoga it wasn't channeling the right way, maybe, though. You need to put your leg in a different position or something.
Starting point is 01:26:28 There's no way that you sitting around looking at social media and watching, you know, people on social media talk about people that are visiting you and you care that much to get online and respond. Richie's telling about him. All right. Well, that is just what the mess with Lauren LaRosa. Charlamagne, who you giving that down? Continue. Man, for after the hour, we are going talk about why why the middle class needs rebuild what kind of world do we live in when a person can't get uh you know all you can eat at applebee's we're going to discuss
Starting point is 01:26:56 yes what never mind all right all right well what i just say race but we'll talk about it next is the breakfast club good morning You're checking out the breakfast club. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a read? The game, you donkey of the day, and I deserve it. You don't even know.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. It's time for donkey of the day. It's a read, but you're so good at it you're trying to be a fake
Starting point is 01:27:26 ass charlemagne you only want charlemagne to go damn charlemagne who you give a donkey of the day to now well sexy red uh donkey of the day for wednesday august 21st goes to a 28 year old woman named shanisha cobs shanisha hails from portage indiana never heard of the place but dropping clues bombs from portage indiana and like most of the place, but drop on the Clues Bounce from Portage, Indiana. And like most Americans, she's always looking for a way to save a dollar or two, always looking for a discount. And I don't blame her because times is hard out here. Okay, if you are blessed to have some food on the table and a roof over your head, you are winning. Don't let nobody tell you different.
Starting point is 01:28:00 Drop on the Clues Bounce for everybody who got food on their table and a roof over their head. That is a blessing. I know things get hard sometimes, and we all just trying to figure it out doing our best but trust me when i tell you that success is subjective and if you got food on on the table and a roof over your head and you are happy then you are winning simple as that uh well shanisha cobb was trying to win okay she was trying to be happy see shanisha cobb was trying to do what all americans out here doing, and that's feeding their families. Shanice was sitting at home minding her business, and she got a download.
Starting point is 01:28:30 By download, I mean she was probably watching TV One and saw a commercial for one of the world's largest casual dining brands, Applebee's. Drop one of the clues bombs for Applebee's. Never, ever will I front on Applebee's. On the come up of this thing called life, I have had some amazing times in Applebee's.
Starting point is 01:28:47 Salute to Applebee's on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, South Carolina, right across from Northwoods Mall. Salute to Applebee's in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, right over there on Rembrandt Street, Dennis Boulevard. Those mozzarella sticks, those boneless buffalo wings, that chicken quesadilla with some fries. What you talking about, okay? I got nothing but love for Applebee's. And so does Sharnisa. She went there with two other adults and several juveniles. Okay.
Starting point is 01:29:11 A bunch of hungry ass little kids. And she tried to game the system. She tried to take advantage of Applebee's. All you can eat. Okay. All you can eat $15.99 special. You heard about it? Huh?
Starting point is 01:29:22 Now I thought it was $14.99, but it must have went up a little. But price and participation always do vary. But since earlier this year for a limited time guests can enjoy an unlimited feast of all you can eat boneless wings riblets and double crunch shrimp for 14.99 when you dine in the restaurant okay dine in only no orders to go well shanisha came in to dine with her clan remember what i I said. Two other adults and several juveniles. And she ordered one all-you-can-eat special. Okay, one order of all-you-can-eat boneless wings, all-you-can-eat riblets, all-you-can-eat double crunch shrimp, all-you-can-eat fries, and endless amounts of water, I'm sure. Now?
Starting point is 01:30:00 Nothing else? What you mean nothing else? That's why you don't know how to bust down, go. There were seven of them, though. You know how the bus down goes. Go ahead. That's why we're here today, ladies and gentlemen, because of the bus down. Okay?
Starting point is 01:30:10 Life was all good until the bill came. When the bill came, an Applebee's manager informed the group that each person would have to pay for one serving of the deal. You know Sarnesha and company wasn't going for that because they had several juveniles. Several usually means seven. And then it was two adults including sarnisha so that bill at 15.99 a pop was at minimum 159 dollars and some change now i know some of y'all out there just rich and got money to blow but 159 dollars in a restaurant is a luxury a privilege that so many of us take for granted if it's not then how come sharnisa was in there trying to bust down the system okay she was trying to game the system uh police were eventually called to the scene
Starting point is 01:30:50 and dispatchers were warned ahead of time they expect multiple females screaming and threatening people see shanisa didn't feel like she should have to pay no more than 16 because it was an all-you-can-eat special and they argued that the menu did not specify that the deal didn't cover the table well that defense did not work okay because the two words and those two words are per person all right i mean directly beneath the all you can eat heading was the words per person in bold letters nothing left to see here folks now shanisa clearly embarrassed uh she was clearly embarrassed so she stopped arguing with the police for a second just to argue with another couple who was probably staring at her you know chastising probably laughing recording told her sit her poor ass down somewhere okay so she needs to started arguing with the couple police tried to calm her down and when she wouldn't they locked her ass up
Starting point is 01:31:41 arrested her for disorderly conduct all because she was trying to do what all Americans want to do. And that's eat and eat good. Let me tell you something, man. If I was governor of Indiana, I would pardon Shanisa. All right. There should definitely be consequences. There are actions. But jail time is a bit excessive. See, here's the thing. I told you earlier, going out to eat is a luxury. A lot of people can't afford nowadays. But going out is also something that brings people joy. Imagine having a bunch of kids who are hungry and they all saying they want to go to applebee's and all you want to
Starting point is 01:32:08 do as a parent is make that happen for them so it's a combination of hunger and making your kids happy think about how happy you were as a child when your parents had some extra money to take you somewhere those rare times when they told you they don't got it at the house right okay mom i want mcdonald's we got mcdonald's at the house. Right. Okay? Mom, I want McDonald's. We got McDonald's at the house. One of the greatest lies ever told. Okay? Right up there with white Jesus and Santa Claus was there's McDonald's at the house.
Starting point is 01:32:33 Never in the history of life has someone had the golden arches at the house. Okay? So to be able to take your kids out, order a meal from a restaurant, that's a blessing. And Shanisa wanted to provide that experience for her kids, so I would have gave her community services, something make her work at applebee's and then let her take the free food home to the kids on another note this is the reason that uh
Starting point is 01:32:53 at the dnc the vp kamala harris has to talk about the issues during her speech the obamas were last night they preached their message of hope i get it but hope is the bare minimum i understand why it's important to have hope hope is like when you first see the all you can eat commercial for applebee's okay shanisha had hope all right once she saw that commercial hope okay that was like a glimpse of light in the darkness she saw an opportunity to bring joy to people she loved and hope is great okay you know hope is great they've been trying to get us uh they try to feed us hope and fear they've been trying to get us to vote out of fear in regards to Trump. I mean, they're always trying to get us to vote out of fear.
Starting point is 01:33:27 But not being able to feed your kids, not being able to make your kids happy is scarier than Trump. But now that we have given people the fear, we've given them hope. It's time for Vice President Harris to bring it home by talking about actual issues. The number one issue is the economy. The message she's pushing about rebuilding the middle class. It starts with all you can eat mozzarella sticks okay i'm serious after you pay your bills after you pay your rent your child care after you pay for your life do you have anything left over for a little bit of joy that's what these politicians don't understand folks need a couple dollars for joy that is part of rebuilding the middle class what type of world do we live in when a person can't enjoy the double crunch
Starting point is 01:34:05 scrimp at Applebee's just because they want to. So even though what shot needs to did is stupid. I understand the circumstances that got her there, but some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give shot Nisha cobs, the sweet sounds and the hammer tones. Oh, now you are.
Starting point is 01:34:22 Oh, don't play game. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. Oh, you are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. You feel some gristle? The room got heavy. Wobble, wobble.
Starting point is 01:34:39 The room got heavy. A little gristle on the bone. Turn that up a little bit. Here, Big Mac. What's up, Mac? The just presented the fat lives matter committee yeah of course um i just wanted to add to first off you spoke that eloquently okay and i just wanted to add um people we should probably watch the wording it if it's all you can eat then it should be that not all you can can eat here. You have to say that. Because there's plenty of times where I try to all I can eat
Starting point is 01:35:08 and they judge me for the amount. Because I hear that and it's a personal challenge to me. But you have to be specific and say all you can eat here at Applebee's, at Olive Garden. Because if you don't, I'm going to think all I can eat anywhere. Don't you think she was wrong though to try to buy one all-you-can-eat order for nine,
Starting point is 01:35:30 ten people? No. No, I do not. You know dang well you ain't buying just one. First of all, I count as two people, so technically I'm allowed to... Four? Three and a half. Three and a possible. Three and a possible is crazy. The spades game is crazy. So technically, you can't judge me for what I do with my food because I've technically
Starting point is 01:35:49 counted as three and a half. Oh, yeah. A buffet hate to see you coming. All you can eat special. Hate to see Big Mac coming. You'll shut down a restaurant. Oh, my God. Like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Starting point is 01:35:57 You hear that glass breaking. Yeah, when they say for a limited time only, that's what they mean. Tell people like Mac start walking in. They give them a timer. Like how they put the chalk on your tire when you park. He walk in, they mark him. Man, too many 300 plus pounders coming in. That's when the limited time stops.
Starting point is 01:36:11 Y'all don't want to play a game? No, I don't want to play a game. Okay, why do you want to play a game? I'm just curious. No, you're not curious. Alright, you know exactly what race this person is. I'm not even mad at sis though because the older I get, the more I understand. You say she's black? sis though because the older i get the i don't care what color she is i understand the older i get the more i feel you got food at home it's expensive it's multiple people whether she probably got kids with her they want to eat
Starting point is 01:36:36 everything they want to know but it's the joy of going out that's what i mean when i say like you know people just want to need a little bit of extra money for joy you just want to be able to go out to a restaurant and enjoy a little quick hundred dollar two hundred dollar meal with your family envy you still stuck on what race she is no no but i mean she tried to get over on the system i mean she knew what she was doing listen they owe us out of out of uh i think she one of us and they owe us out Out of need. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Earlier this morning, Lauren LaRosa reported that J-Lo and Ben Affleck.
Starting point is 01:37:15 Early this morning, Lauren LaRosa said J-Lo can't keep a man. And then she said J-Lo can't keep a man. That she had a roster. That's how the men in the room heard it. What I said earlier was, J-Lo... You're talking about 20 people. What I...
Starting point is 01:37:27 You're talking about one divorce. That's exactly why we're here with this topic. Go ahead. You just said that J-Lo is... Say that again? No, what'd you say? No, you said she had a roster.
Starting point is 01:37:37 And then he basically said her dating life is all you can eat special. No, I said we came here for one thing because we were talking about one divorce, but you bought 20 people.
Starting point is 01:37:44 Because of the conversation surrounding it. Because the world, every time J-Lo has a little incident in any of her relationships, does exactly what you guys did when I started talking about this story. You guys leaned so much into who she used to date and how she used to date them. What? Because I named the people that she used to date. I like this reverse gaslighting, Lauren. All I said was, I just said they didn't look happy. Why is it that a woman who,
Starting point is 01:38:06 maybe J-Lo may understand her worth and she gets out of situations before she's committed the wrong way. Why is a woman, why is a woman, can I say that word on air? I don't know what I can say. Say it, say it.
Starting point is 01:38:17 A hoe? Yeah, you can say it. Why is J-Lo a hoe because she knows her worth? I don't think she's a hoe. You're the one that brought up Johnny, Chris Judd, A-Rod, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. You brought them names up. I the one that brought up Johnny, Chris Judd, A-Rod. Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike.
Starting point is 01:38:27 You brought them names up. I didn't even know who Johnny or Chris Judd was. I had to say who's Chris Judd. I had no clue. It's relevant to the conversation because people always will say it's her fault. All of her relationships are her fault. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:38:43 Seems like Lauren LaRosa feels like J-Lo is a a i feel like j-lo is a woman who knows her worth but i think you guys y'all y'all say it's her fault and y'all say she's a because she chooses to exit stage left when things are not correct this reverse gas like you know what i like this yeah she did that well 805 105 one let's open up the phone line. Let's talk about J-Lo. You know, Lauren LaRosa named her roster earlier. What do you think about it, right? That is the question, right? Mm-mm.
Starting point is 01:39:12 What's the question? You want to know what people think about her roster? No, but that's what you think. No, I want to know why is it when a woman has had, publicly has had multiple different relationships or marriages or whatever, why does she instantly become the issue or a hoe? I don't think
Starting point is 01:39:27 that. I don't think she is either. I don't know why you're projecting this. Now y'all, what's she to call y'all? I think J-Lo just loves... Y'all are backing up. Can we play the audio of them earlier? I think J-Lo just loves love. Yes, let's play the audio from earlier. I think she just loves love. Now you're empathetic to her love and love. She's dated these men. We have to go in a commercial. Let's let the people of
Starting point is 01:39:44 the listeners tune in and see what they have to say about this. Why is Lauren calling J-Lo a hoe this morning? I think she's triggered. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Oh, I'm a hoe now? Pull out your phone. Call in right now.
Starting point is 01:39:55 Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. Tell her. about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:40:23 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Build a wall around Delaware. Build a wall around men who do mansplaining. For Jess Hilarious. Go ahead, Envy. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:40:36 Go ahead. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about J-Lo. You know, recently, well, not recently. Yesterday, J-Lo filed for divorce. Right, from Ben Affleck. And we had a question out there. Earlier, you started naming some of the people that she was with. Lauren LaRosa, who is filling in for Jess Hilarious while she's on maternity leave.
Starting point is 01:40:52 Lauren just started naming J-Lo's whole roster. I thought we were just here to talk about one divorce from Ben Affleck and J-Lo, but then Lauren just started naming, who would you say? You said... Johnny. Johnny. That was the first husband, old Johnny. Okay, old Johnny. Chris Judd. Chris Judd. A-Rod. A-Rod. uh who'd you say you said johnny you johnny that was the first husband oh johnny okay oh johnny chris judd a rod a rod ronnie bobby ricky mike
Starting point is 01:41:10 rizza jizza yo man old dirty now y'all throwing people on her list don't do that that's what you did you just started naming people don't do that and but there was a point there was a method to my madness there was a reason why i did that because when the story first broke everywhere, even in a lot of the actual reports of it, it solely focused on, well, what could J-Lo have done to save this marriage? What did she do wrong? And I'm like, dang. That's alpha though.
Starting point is 01:41:39 But why is it always, why do people always instantly call her the problem? I don't think that they was calling her the problem by saying she's the alpha. Because they're like, what could J-Lo have done to solve this marriage? Because clearly if she filed for divorce, they look at her like a boss who's in and out of these relationships when she wants to be. And I love that. And I think that's how it should be looked at. But that is not how it is being interpreted. But it's also fair to ask if she might be the problem.
Starting point is 01:42:01 Because, you know, she is the one common denominator in all these situations. Yeah, but then when you go through. So what got to you say she running through no see here you go i said when you go through the list oh because that's what got me to the point of bringing up the names because i wanted to have this conversation you begin to read about the different things that she experienced with each guy and a lot of that stuff i would have left too well let's see well the thing is we don't know the ins and outs of their relationship
Starting point is 01:42:26 all we know is the rumors excuse me I didn't even say nothing why are you all we know is the rumors so we heard
Starting point is 01:42:33 cheating with A-Rod allegedly we heard cheating with Diddy allegedly we've heard so many different other things and if that's the case
Starting point is 01:42:39 yeah she deserves to leave if she wanted to I don't have a problem with that but when people call her a hoe from going through that I don't think that's right because in all the situations why did y'all instantly jump to oh my god you're naming like i couldn't even get it out my mouth
Starting point is 01:42:51 i was trying to get to a sub like a conversation with substance you guys are two married men it felt a little shady because no shade i'm gonna tell you why i felt a little shady because you know when you haven't been married once you kind of look at people who constantly get married and you're a little jealous you know what i'm saying and so for me i say lauren's a little no i ain't saying nothing about lauren let him cook so when we were just talking about this one divorce and you start naming all these other dudes that she's been with i didn't see the point for me i think the point was as a woman who was watching j-lo who is a very powerful woman who is obviously the alpha in a lot of her relationships Navigate big impinata not the little one right navigate dating publicly and having to go through so much stuff publicly
Starting point is 01:43:36 I don't look at her like oh my gosh. She's been on and out of all these relationships I looked at it like she's chosen to walk away publicly from a lot of different things Why do why does she instantly get turned into the problem? I want to talk about that. So I wanted to talk about the different things that she's been through in these relationships and a different relationship. She's experienced because a lot of these men for a lot of women, they're the company you're staying there famous or not. Because you're married and also age plays a factor as well. J-Lo loves love.
Starting point is 01:44:00 It seems like in all these relationships, she was with this person as far as we know for a long time. It wasn't like she was with him for a week or two. All these people she dated for a long time. She was engaged to A-Rod. She has kids with Mark Anthony. She dated Diddy for a long time. People don't throw that into the conversation, though. So it seems to me that she loves love.
Starting point is 01:44:18 It just doesn't work. I think it's a fair public conversation to have since people love discussing celebrity. I think it's a very fair. They love discussing her. They drag her. But I think it's a very public, very fair public conversation to have if she could be the problem. There's nothing wrong with asking that. Why do you just always
Starting point is 01:44:33 blame the man and say, hey, it must be the men. I'm not blaming the man, but I feel like in this situation, it's literally always her. There's never... But the men could have effed up that made her want to leave, so it's not her thing. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:44:48 When the good happens, you get the credit. And when the bad happens, you get the blame. Let's go to the phone lines. We got Dylan on the line. Dylan, good morning. Good morning, Envy. How y'all doing? What's up, Dylan? What's your thoughts, brother? Me, personally, like I was telling the guy who answered the call, I feel like at that age and bouncing,
Starting point is 01:45:07 like I said, I want to say I'm not going to f*** people in any way, shape, or form. But at that age and the fact that she is probably worth well over $100 million, strong money, she's in a great position, she's a great looking woman, she's beautiful. But I don't think you can put this on a man in any way, shape, or form. I think she might just be stuck in her ways and she's very disagreeable so damn you sound like lauren damn we don't even know the problem of the situation that's right and y'all keep trying to throw it on me because we don't know the problem throw it on me we don't know what the issue but we're putting all these bad labels on her disagreeable she must be the problem like damn the woman and older so me igniting the
Starting point is 01:45:46 conversation in the room is not me agreeing on either side i just have always wondered why does anytime people talk about her love life she gets exactly what he just because it could be the dudes that's doing something to her and she's like i'm not taking it no she even when she talks right like after her breakup with a ride both of them both of them, A-Rod was like, it didn't work out, we love each other, our kids are in the middle. It's always like,
Starting point is 01:46:09 okay, we're just going to move on as positive vibes. We don't know what is going on for real. J.Lo is a boss and once again, when you're the boss,
Starting point is 01:46:15 you get the credit when things are good and you get the blame when things are bad. That's right. So why is it that when you have conversations about like men,
Starting point is 01:46:22 right, in their breakups, like if we were to sit here, well, that's not a good comparison right now. I was going to say diddy but not right now i don't think um but like for instance like a 50 cent like 50 cent has publicly dated a lot of different women that you could name maybe not engaged and married to them but when you talk about that y'all don't be like oh why are you naming his roster it's like oh he got a pretty good roster but with j-lo it's
Starting point is 01:46:41 like oh it's like no she had relationships they didn't work she moved on we weren't naming J-Lo's roster and I think you were saying if I were to sit here and name 50 cents roster y'all reaction would not be I don't even take 50 cents roster serious for one reason and one reason only there was never no rings he was not married like I think it's not engaged I think it's dope like to be married four times that says a lot about you to have four different men want to marry you and one man spend the block to marry you again. Lauren, you know how hard it is. You ain't been married once. Damn.
Starting point is 01:47:09 You can't even find a guy. Damn. You don't even got a dude. Damn. I need to get down. You don't even got somebody that wants to say they your boo. He's shooting at you. He's shooting at you.
Starting point is 01:47:16 Think about that. Hold on. Hold on. Don't do me too hard. He said you ain't got a boo. Y'all, I'm not getting into my business this morning. All right. I got it.
Starting point is 01:47:24 I'm just saying this. Look at it from a different perspective. This woman has been married boo. Y'all, I'm not getting into my business this morning. All right. I got it. I'm just saying this. Look at it from a different perspective. This woman has been married four times. That's what I'm... Y'all ain't been married once. Don't let him talk to you like that. I said y'all. Don't let him talk to you like that.
Starting point is 01:47:33 No. You guys included me in the y'all. He was staring at you. You always included me in the y'all. He was looking at your eyes. According to him, I'm raggedy. Wow. I don't need to make no...

Don't nobody want to be with me. Wow. I'm never going to be married. I've never said any of these things. You got something you want to talk about? And you hate light skin,
Starting point is 01:47:51 man. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. It's the breakfast logo morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club. It's been very difficult
Starting point is 01:48:06 to work here this morning. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is out. Lauren LaRosa is triggered. She's filling in for Jess this morning. It's crazy. I am not triggered.
Starting point is 01:48:14 I'm not triggered. I just wanted to bring this conversation to light. You guys are doing exactly what needs to be done so we can have it. I appreciate that. She was talking about
Starting point is 01:48:20 J-Lo's filing for divorce. She named J-Lo's roster. And I think she might have even said something like being a hoe or something. I don't know. You know what it is? She keeps trying to say what she wants to say through other people. So she's like, yo, people say J-Lo's a hoe. No, I don't think that's the case at all.
Starting point is 01:48:35 I don't think J-Lo is a hoe. I don't know why that's even a thing. I think J-Lo's a boss. I'm totally run it up. I'm totally here for all of it. I don't think that. So I don't need to say anything through anybody. Well, let's go to the phone lines.
Starting point is 01:48:44 Hello, who's this? Hi, it's Holly. Hey, what's your thoughts? If I'm not mistaken, Jennifer Aniston kind of got the same scrutiny for her being single and not having successful marriages at the same time. I kind of think that people should just mind the business that pays them. Jennifer Aniston. Who is that?
Starting point is 01:49:02 She was... Jennifer Aniston. Oh, that's the lady from Sex and the City right yeah she was with no that's Sarah Jessica Parker no from Friends
Starting point is 01:49:08 she was with Ben Affleck at first right she was yeah that's the one they said he left JLo for her oh that's the one that was on the HBO show
Starting point is 01:49:15 Girls Jennifer Aniston no wait Jennifer Aniston wasn't with Ben Affleck no no that is from Friends
Starting point is 01:49:22 I do this on purpose I confuse white people on purpose because they do it all the time i know exactly what you're gonna say but i'll act like i don't to the caller's point what was your name again holly holly to holly's point i feel the same way and like i said when it's a man y'all y'all mind your business when it's a woman it's like there's think pieces on what she's doing and who she's doing it with like probably because you and it's respectfully done she's not just out here laying with anybody she's marrying and engaging and being with these people for years at a time sometimes the man has been married four or five times i don't know i'm genuinely
Starting point is 01:49:51 don't even have the pressure to do that to be honest with you because if a man does not get to that point with 10 women that he's dating right it's okay but if a woman deals with 10 men publicly and ain't there one of them married her now you gotta have a conversation about why she's a cat lady like it's a whole thing i'm gonna have a conversation about why that cat dry because if you've been with 10 men and not one man want to marry you something wrong but if a man was with 10 women and ain't there and didn't get down on one knee for not near one of those women there's nothing do you see where i'm going with this? As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her
Starting point is 01:50:38 dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

Starting point is 01:56:10 hoe i think that when you say that to lauren again please kai know what i meant no i don't i don't think she's a hoe not at all i think personally when you deal either men or women and you have multiple relationships if and they're all bad or they're not going good, you've got to just start looking in the mirror at what you can change or the type of people you're dating. Are you victim blaming a little bit? How do you know she's a victim? She just said look in the mirror.
Starting point is 01:56:38 We already just discussed about two people. No, no, no, she's right. That queen I just called was absolutely right. No, no, no, but look in the mirror is fine, but then you said you're victim blaming. So it's like how do you know she's right no queen queen was that queen that just called was absolutely right but look in the mirror it's fine but then you said you victim blaming so it's like how you know she's the victim she could be the one like putting out the hell that woman that just called is absolutely right if things and that's the type that's the type person i am in all in my life if things aren't working out the way i want them to work out i don't blame other people i look in the mirror and i think j-lo might need to do this but if people are doing things to her and she's saying
Starting point is 01:57:04 i'm not going to stand for this i'm not taking this and decides to back out j-lo's not the problem it's the people that's in her life that is the by the way we don't know nothing about yeah we are but majority of the world is because she never really gets into the crust of like what actually went down but i would love for j-lo to like sit down today and have an honest conversation about like what it was for this ben affleck situation that kind of like made her be like no i'm good she ain't gonna speak to y'all this is she doesn't have to but it would i would love to hear only because i think that if she is doing this internal reflection or whatever it'd be good for a lot of women to hear because i do think that there are some times where like it's hard to be like oh it might have been me or it's me hi i'm the problem it's me we know charlamagne is that
Starting point is 01:57:50 what j-lo we know we already know you have to tell us you was the problem we've been there what's the moral of the story guys the moral of the story is you better not marry once you better you better not have a list of anything in the room with two men. Shout out to J-Lo. I'm with you, J-Lo. I'm not one of these hating women who ain't never been married. If you want to go get married for a fifth time, you go show them how it's done, boo.
