I barely made it.
Shut up.
I was here at one time, and yeah.
How late did you stay out?
I went to, um...
I actually wasn't out late.
I just, you know, had a few drinks or whatever.
50 cent have had a dinner at Planet.
Planet Hollywood.
A lot of people stop past, a lot of stars.
Shout out the Joseph Socorah.

That's what people know him by.
But yes, I met him, his beautiful wife and his niece last night.
A few other people would stop through and everything.
You was feeling that fit.
You was feeling that fit.
I know how that is.
You go out.
And you feel like not enough people seen?
Now, you didn't have it.
You didn't put enough hours in that fit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then not enough people seen it.
And then you thought about, damn.
I got radio in the morning.
Adam will be on TV.
And it's going to be early.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, let me throw that back on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I actually didn't hang out too late.
I actually was in the house that a reasonable while.
It was like 9.30.
Did you sleep in your accessories?
Just to.
No, hell no.
I got in the shower, shaw.
I just put all this back on.
Allegedly.
No, for real.
I got in the shower.
If you say so, I'm not going to.
Shut up.
Oh, it was hot and sweaty, but you still decided to put the same off.
So then.
Y'all, y'all didn't know.
Did you smile me when I hugged you this morning?
Exactly.
I did.
That's how I knew you had the same off.
Oh, wow.
No, you did.
And you saw it.
It was the launch of 50 cents menu
because 50 cent has a menu
Are you saying she smelled like 50 cents food?
What was he eating?
No, I was...
50 ain't eat a goddamn thing.
No, I was saying the party that she went to
was the launch of 50 cents menu at Planet Hollywood.
So if you ever come to New York,
you could come to Planet Hollywood in Times Square.
50 cents has a menu, a food menu and a drink menu.
Yeah, and it was fire, though.
I ain't gonna lie, I had the drink, the 21 questions.
21 questions, okay.
It was fire.
It was fire.
I ain't gonna lie.
I only needed one.
Did you beg him for a job?
I don't ever beg for a job, but I did roll up on me.
He was like, Jess, he came.
He came straight to me.
He was like, Jess, you didn't cuss me out in a while.
Where you been?
Sorry, no, ain't nowhere I've been.
I've been looking for you.
I got some questions for you.
So you curse him out there?
We said, we said again.
So you curse him out there then.
Yes, absolutely.
And he said good.
You wouldn't be just if he talked about me on the mic.
So you wouldn't be just if you didn't if you didn't cuss me out.
What was the question you had for?
I had a few questions.
What was the questions?
Stay on my business.
I'm asking what was the question.
No, no job.
No, so shut up.
I felt like that he has an annual golf tournament.
I think somebody told us that up here.
And then I asked him about it.
He was, oh, I ain't know you golf.
You know, you board a woman and all that.
She wants to be on one of the shows, Fifth.
He knows.
He knows that.
Oh.
You know, so he told me the same thing he's been telling me.

What's up, Mimi?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Jolomey.
How y'allamine?
Good, Mimi.
Good morning.
So we start this morning with Disney taking the Trump administration to court.
They're accusing the government of trying to punish ABC over what it puts on television.
So Disney, they filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the FCC.
That's the government agency that regulates broadcast television.
And the FCC is investigating the view, Disney's DEI practices, and the licensing of eight ABC local stations owned by Disney.
And Disney says the reason is political that the president doesn't like ABC.
coverage and programming, and his administration is using the FCC to pressure the network.
Now, Disney points to Jimmy Kimmel after Trump publicly called for ABC to fire Kimmel, but ABC stood beside him.
Now, the FCC, they have ordered eight stations to start the early release, or excuse me, early license renewal process.
The FCC, it says that this is not retaliation.
It says that the review is tied to an investigation into whether it's DEI,
practices involve illegal discrimination. But not everyone at the FCC is on board with what the agency
is doing. So there's Anna Gomez. She was appointed by President Biden and she is speaking out about this.
Let's listen. No one believes that this is about Disney's diversity equity and inclusion policies.
Clearly this is just a pretext to go after Disney because this administration does not like the
content it's seeing on Disney. And Disney has refused to bow to the intimidation and to the
I'm very heartened to see Disney stand up for its First Amendment rights and its editorial decisions and filing to challenge the actions that this FCC has taken.
Listen, Anna Gomez is absolutely correct, and I hope Disney wins because they are standing up for all of our First Amendment rights.
And this is what I meant yesterday.
What I said, you know, Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC is someone who is truly deserving of the NABJ's Thumbs Down Award.
Because when you have someone weaponizing a government agency against networks because they don't know.
agree with programming that criticizes the president.
That is what you call authoritarianism and are a dictatorship.
So to me personally, the outrage I see, you know, for individuals like Stephen A. Smith should
be toward actual threats like Brendan Carr and the FCC.
And I know folks love to say we can do both.
Maybe you can, but you don't.
So let me ask you question.
So Anna is the commissioner for the FCC.
So she works with the FCC, but she's saying that the FCC should be sued.
There's three.
Yeah, there's three commissioners, or Brandon Carr is the chair.
And there's, yeah, and so there's Anna and there's one other lady, and they all sit together.
So they're independent of each other, and they were appointed.
I think the first two were appointed by President Trump and then Gomez was appointed by President Biden.
And so she's speaking out against this.
Yeah.
Disney says that that pressure is already changing what it can, what it makes on television.
So the view has become more cautious, according to Disney, about booking political candidates.
It says that ABC has decided not to air certain clips just to kind of keep the temperature down.
But normally, licenses, they were renewed every 50 years, but the FCC has ordered, or excuse me, they renewed every eight years.
But the FCC has ordered the process to start early, which hasn't happened in 50 years.
There you go.
But now Disney says that they want the FCC to.
license. They want to renew,
excuse me guys, they want the
FCC license renew to
go in and they're arguing that the government
is violating their First Amendment rights.
So we'll continue to watch what that looks like.
And this morning,
Carmelo Anthony is back in a
Collin County courtroom today.
And this time, he is with his
new legal defense team and they are fighting
to get him a new trial.
Anthony was convicted in June of murdering
17-year-old Austin Metcalfe
and sentenced to 35 years
in prison. Now, their argument centers around a interview that the judge gave just days after the
trial. I believe we have some of that interview. Did the jury get it right? Yeah, they did.
You know, why? Because they were picked based upon the law. They listened to the facts.
They happened here in this very courtroom. And they got a verdict. I sleep well at night.
I don't think it's my job to feed social media or the media. He seems like a nice show.
young man who committed a crime. And he understands today, more than any day before today,
the consequences of committing a crime like he did.
Tragic situation on all sides, man.
Yeah. So the defense will argue that the public was essentially left out of the trial because
the courtroom seating was so limited and there was no overflow room, which they say violated
Carmelos constitutional right for a public trial.
Prosecutors, though, they disagree. They say the trial was failed.
and the verdict should stand. Now, today's hearing over Carmelo's request is for that new trial,
which is scheduled for today. But I'm told today's hearing, which again is about getting that
judge removed, should be relatively short because there's not going to be a lot of witnesses,
so it should be half a day. But tomorrow's hearing, which is the fight for a new trial,
is expected to be much longer with more witnesses taking the stand. So we will continue to watch
what that looks like as that plays out today in Texas. And now coming up at 6,
something strange is happening in the streets of Philadelphia.
Police are now trying to figure out whether someone is just doing it all for clicks.
We will fill you in and what's going on there in the next hour.
All right.
Everybody else, get it off your chest.
800-585151.
If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

Can I ask you a question? Right. And that's
the, that's the thing. We had a lot,
you know, a lot of people said,
because our stuff was around the time, I think,
of the murder our situation, so it
took a lot of
the light of ours, but
We were dealing with going up to Washington and dealing with a lot of stuff.
We still are as well, but it's, you know.
Was there a motive?
Was there a motive?
Did they ever find out what the motive was for him, the Vietnam?
He was trying to protect his son.
His son was, it's a long story, but his son was messing.
The man, they adopted a lot of kids and one of the, I think, his biological son,
was messing with one of the adopted kids, and they were serving a warrant to arrest the son,
and the daddy wasn't going to, I guess he just wasn't going to let them take his son,
so he started shooting on a lot of cops.
And then my dad was a city.
He was a sergeant, and he was one of the first ones to come up, and he took a lot of gunfighters.
This man has had over hundreds of guns, supposedly, in the type.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed,

She'd be having the latest confidence.
You ask the question that need to be answered.
On the breakfast club.
If little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.
L.L. Cubeb.
Talk to me.
So yesterday, we broke a story over at Brown Girl grinding that Ms.
Jasmine Guy, icon, will be releasing her memoir.
No.
Amazing.
Shut up.
Stop screaming like that.
You too old are going on.
Thanks.
What?
Yes.
So she will be releasing her memoir,
A Different Girl,
which is that is such a cute play on a different world.
A different girl.
It's set to release February 27
via Black Privilege Publishing.
No, that's my book and print.
Yes, with pre-orders available right now.
So we've known Ms. Jasmine Guy as an actress,
a dancer, a singer, a director,
and the woman who gave us the unforgettable display
of Whitley Gilbert in a different world.
But behind every character we know
is a person whose full story we don't know.
And what makes this memoir so beautiful is the fact that she is going to be doing this
and telling her story alongside her daughter, Amani Guy Duckett, who co-wrote the book with her.
Drop on a clue to mouth for Amani, man.
How did you convince her to do this?
Or she was already in the spirit of it.
We had her in here drunk off that cold duck.
Made her agree right then and then.
No, no, for us.
But you know, when Jabond Guy first came to the breakfast club,
and, you know, we had a great time.
We was in here drinking, you know, wine.
And, you know, when you listen to Jabam Guy, you can just hear the amazing story.
that she has.
So, you know, when people are ready to write their memoirs,
they write them.
And I, you know, just be glad that you can be in a position
to assist them with that process.
That's all.
Have you seen the transcript part of it yet?
Or she's like in the early.
Okay.
So there's like some things, like some surprises we're going to get.
Because I feel like with Arsenio Hall,
there was a lot of things that people were like,
because, you know, he don't really talk much.
We know her story, but she, I feel like.
Oh, Jasmine God's private too?
Yeah, she's kind of private as well.
So.
Listen, all of those 90s icons, you know,
have valuable cultural currency
when it comes to their stories
because that was such an amazing area.
You got to remember,
different world was the number two
highest rated TV show in America.
So, yeah,
she's got,
and beyond that,
she was an actress,
a dancer,
a singer,
a director,
of course,
a mother,
like Jasmine God's story
is very, very,
very rich.
I'm sure it's going to be
some pop stories now.
Listen,
you got to read it.
You got to read it
when it comes out.
It'll be out February 9th,
but it's available
everywhere for pre-order
right now.
Drop on a clues bomb for Jasmine Guy, man.
Salute to Ms. Jasmine Guy.
Okay, we're going to celebrate our icons,
and we're going to celebrate a different world, the proper way.
Different world comes out, what, September?
September 24th.
Listen, that is a perfect time.
I saw our fans.
Go ahead.
No, because school is back in.
Think about what you could do around HBCUs with a different world.
Like, you know, like a Jasmine guy,
got her memoir coming out.
I'm sure that it's other cast members that's going to be telling their stories in various ways.
You know, we got to show up for our people.
Well, the dope thing about Jasmine guys, she already does it.
Like, she already pulls her.
up to the HBCU. She ever had those conversations. She never really left. So I've seen
them more on the HBC you running anything else. So that's dope that she she'll continue to do that.
Yes. Yep. And you mentioned September 24th. I saw fans point out the fact that the original
different world dropped on September 24th all those decades ago. I didn't even know that that,
know that correlation. And I looked it up yesterday. God be Godin. Like divine alignment is
incredible because, you know, Jasmine and Moni been working on this book. Right. And when we first
started this process, I didn't know different
world was coming back. But now a different world
is coming back in September. Then her book comes
out February 9th. That's just all God.
Yeah. That's just all the divine alignment.
The first season of a different world dropped September
24th, 1987. And then now
this one will be back September 24th, 2026.
So the things are aligning.
So congratulations, Ms. Jasmine Guy
and to you, Charlotte as well. So we'll be looking
off for that. Go pre-order that right now. A different girl.
Yes. All right,
now the VMAs, the MTV
VMA awards, the
were announced yesterday.
Charlemagne mentioned earlier that he didn't even
know that the VMAs were like on or
coming back on. Because I don't watch MTV. I don't even hear
about MTV. Not even that. I don't really see
videos anymore like that. What? No.
I don't really see video. Like before. You talking about like music
videos? Yes. Yeah, I don't either. I feel like people
are putting effort and time back into
music videos. But you got to go to YouTube. Remember
we get to turn on the TV? Oh, no, no.
Yeah, you can't do that. But I feel like you only see it one time.
And then you'll never care about it again. Before you would see videos all the time.
That's right. We had the program. We had the
programming. Yeah, we don't have a programming like we used to, but they do still do the video
music awards. And yesterday, the nominations dropped. Madonna is leading the nominations for
2026.
Have you not seen Madonna? I have not seen the Madonna video. I knew y'all were going to say that yet.
Madonna, Madonna! She's up for 11 awards this year.
So she's including, she's nominated for videos, artists and song of the year, as well as
Best Collaboration. What video? What song? Okay, so. As far as Best Collaboration, it's her
and Sabrina Carpenter
Bring Your Love
As far as video
Madonna is nominated for
Confessions 2, the film
Had no idea about that?
Yeah, I could go down the list
but, well, let's talk about
some of the things you guys might know
So in the best collaboration
nominee category
We have Clips, Kendrick Lamar
Before you continue
Yes
How old are the people at MTV
That they still nominating Madonna?
She might have some dope video
She might have a dope song
I don't know
I didn't know
I would think
If Madonna had a album
That was worthy of 11
nominations, I feel like we would have known about it.
Maybe, maybe not.
Exactly.
I don't know the last time I was like, let me turn on that new Madonna.
I don't know.
You never turned on Madonna.
You're right.
You're right.
Shut up.
So best collaboration category, clips.
Kendrick Lamar, push it tea and malice for chains and whips.
I didn't know they had a video for that.
They got a video for chains and whips?
I never seen that.
I didn't see it.
That's my point.
I didn't know they had a video for that.
Respectfully, as much as I love that album, I've never seen not one video off the clips.
Neither.
God.
French Montana and Max B
ever since you left me
I've seen the video for that
And I saw a French Montana post yesterday
Just excited and celebrating him
And Max B and saying that this is one of the best
Welcome Home rollouts ever in hip-hop
Because Max B came home and you know
Has been able to do all these things
And the only reason I've seen the video for that is because the Nix
were winning and they did the video with Randy outside
The Garden
Who else? Who else?
Now the remit video. The remix yet
In the best hip-hop category,
Cardi B featuring Kalani's safe
Don Tiley y'allel. Y'all saw that video when
Cardi's in that little cage.

STFU.
Yeah.
McIntystallian lover girl.
My man, my man, my man.
I know.
I don't remember the video.
Was Clay Thompson in the video?
No, but you guys don't remember.
Y'all don't remember people was upset at her
because she, not upset,
but people were surprised what the
video looked like because they thought it would be her
and Clay because she was so in love but she was like
super sexy it was just very megalian
yeah it was just her and like dancers and stuff
we gotta bring back some form of monoculture for people
to really watch videos and what I mean by monoculture
like back in the day you had your TRLs
and your 106 and parks everybody would be
gathered around a certain time I have
everything so fragmented now I have not seen any of those
videos okay well as same on social media
circling you know what I mean you see sometimes
you do though and you probably just think it's like a visual
because you don't go to YouTube to watch the full video
I've never seen the Drake video
Chris Brown it depends obvious
Best R&B video

Oh, wow.
We got a wrap.
That sounds crazy if you don't know anything about it.
Key throat is crazy.
Wrap us up.
Put us out of here.
Right now.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's D.J. N.V. Jess Lari.
Sholomaine Naga.
We are the breakfast club.
Salute to the clips.
I'm about to watch this video right now
for the first time ever in life.
Yeah, me too.
Listen.
Let's get in some front page news.
What's up, Mimi?
Good morning.
M.V.J. Jolameen, how y'all doing this hour?
Peace to meet you Brown from Howard University.
There you go.
We start this morning with a new statement from the district attorney
overseeing the investigation into the death of Nolan Wells.
So in a statement released yesterday, Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers, McGill-Rath,
she is pushing back against growing pressure to release more information in the case.
Now, she says that she understands why people want answers,
especially when Nolan's families and others are making statements publicly,
and prosecutors are not.
McEleth-Rath says that the law limits what she can say while the investigation is still underway.
Now, she says, though, that she will not release any information simply to take the public pressure off of the audience or off of her office.
Excuse me.
She said that no one deserves better.
But in my recent sit-down interview with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, which is out Friday, I asked her why she believes the district attorney is not releasing more information in this case.
And this is what she had to say.
You only make it worse, like when there's a vacuum where,
It is very clear that we're missing information
in the amount of time that that vacuum kind of sits there open.
It allows for the conspiracy theories to continue to proliferate.
So the question is, are you not telling us
because you don't wanna tell us the truth?
Because in my opinion, if you had any information
that would exonerate the foul play,
just like you came out real fast, real quick and in a hurry,
ain't nothing to see here.
I think that if you could back that up,
with the autopsy you would,
but y'all ain't said nothing.
And I know that autopsy is done.
I know that, right?
So if it was anything to say,
nope, nobody did anything,
I think they would have let it out.
Simple as that.
I mean, it's really just that simple.
If you had evidence that there was no foul play
and, you know, these kids were completely innocent
in every way, shape, or form,
they'd have dropped that yesterday.
Yep.
And you know what?
I think they're hoping that,
you know, everything around this case quiets down.
Like the media stops talking about it.
People on social media stop talking about it.
And then they can sweep it under the rug.
But as long as you keep it front and center, it can't go away.
Absolutely.
And I know that's exactly what his parents want.
And today would have been Nolan's 19th birthday.
So his parents are celebrating.
They're holding a prayer rally today.
And they're continuing to call for answers, transparency,
and the release of the official.
autopsy findings. So yeah, we want to wish them all good vibes this morning, as I know it must be
very, very difficult to deal with today, especially on today. And this next story sounds like
something out of a horror movie. So someone in Philadelphia is wearing a Chucky-style mask and
terrorizing people in downtown Philadelphia. So the police are trying to find him. It happened last Wednesday,
City Hall. Police say the man was chasing people, threatening them, and trying to get into
businesses. One woman says she was jogging when police say he started following her. He had his
cell phone in one hand and he kept his other hand behind his back, making her think that he had a weapon.
Police say he reportedly asked her, are you ready to die? The woman took off running. She fell.
She hurt her leg. But investigators say she wasn't the only person that he targeted that morning.
A police say that same mask man was seen harassing other pedestrians trying to get into nearby businesses.
And then there was a woman named Jamika who says she spotted him trying to get the attention of a different jogger.
And she tried to warn that jogger.
And that's when the man came after her.
So she says that she put her hands up and got ready to fight.
Let's listen.
He just seemed so disoriented about what his goals actually were.
Like I had bags.
He wasn't reaching for those.
It didn't seem like he had a clear goal to like actually get in Lackalum to do.
anything. So I was like, okay, well, let's see if you can fight and he couldn't.
Jamaica. Jamaica. I know that's right. Jamika from Philly. I mean, I'm going to be
honest with you. I think that's a really creative way to die. Like, because clearly some people
are suicidal and they don't want to just kill themselves. Like whoever that is dressing up like
Chucky, he wants to go out with some theatrics. Okay, some razzle dazzle. Right. He don't want it,
though. Jamika said he ain't wanted it. Jamika said she put her hands up and he didn't want it.
He couldn't fight. He's going to get his dazzle razzle razzle.
That's what I'm saying.
And being dressed like Chucky is very fitting because that is indeed child's play.
Okay?
And when you play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes.
You running up on people dressed like Chucky talking about you ready to die.
In Philly?
Bound!
It shouldn't be nothing else to talk about.
And there ain't nobody going to have no remorse for whoever that is behind that mask.
Jamaica said, I ain't run.
I put my hands up.
See if he could fight.
What's the most dangerous neighborhood to go in Philly?
I don't know.
Eddie, what is it?
North Philly?
Yeah, why don't go down with North Philly?
next people are they ready to die on the block?
I don't know. Sounds like he is in downtown Philly
around City Hall, terrorizing the people who are
just trying to go to work and, you know,
get on the train. Well, he's
about 5'8, they said. He's about 5'8.
They believe he's anywhere from
16 to 20.
Investigators, though, they're trying to figure out who he is.
They say that that cell phone that he's
holding, it may be a clue.
Police believe he recorded some of these encounters
are, and maybe are using them to go
viral. Let's listen to what the police had to
They're scouring social media
to see if they come across this individual
posting this online material.
It'll be good for us to make it easier to find them.
You're telling me that he's 5'8 and he hasn't been shot yet.
See, I thought he was a midgett still.
And the reason I thought he was a midgett
is because, you know, if a little person run up on you dressed like Chuckie,
you're going to think twice.
He'd be like, what the hell is that?
You might think it's a little kid, you know what I mean?
So you might not be so quick to pull out that thing.
You're 5'8, you should have been shot already.
Exactly.
me.
Running up on people dressed like
Chuckie talking about
do you want to die
with your hands behind your back?
Okay.
All right.
Jamaica almost knocked his ass out.
You're going to meet Freddie.
You're going to be asleep.
Okay.
Well, police say they released
surveillance video and they are asking
anyone who may know who this is
to come forward.
So, you know, we'll see what happens.
This happened about a week ago.
So so far, no one has come forward.
But if he's out there,
this is now making national news.
I saw it being reported in London.
So everybody is talking about it.
I'm not wishing death on them.
You know what I'm saying?
But he should get shot.
Because you're running up on people, raising up their quarters all levels.
Life is already too stressful.
People's anxiety is already through the roof.
And you running up on people dressed like Chuckie talking about, do you want to die?
At least a little leg shot or something.
Did he run from Jamaica?
Did he run from Jamaica?
She said he just seemed like disoriented.
Like, nah, he ain't really want to fight.
He probably just walked off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He just walked up.
I don't think he ran from her.
But she was ready.
She was ready.
She put out a kick, too.
Do you guys see the kick?
She, she, she, demonstrate you the kid.
Send me that she was.
I'm going to send you the video.
Send you the video.
All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news.
When you do a random karate kick, you'd be scared about.
Yeah, yeah.
Trying to scare somebody.
What are you?
What are they doing?
Like, do the crane to do?
Do the crane back.
You're about to do nothing.
People to be dangerous.
Data people that end up being the most dangerous to scare people.
You know, no karate actually do karate when they get, you know,
attack you ain't about to just throw out a kick
that was a warning kick
that's all that was back up off me
all right thank you Mimi
now when we come back one of probably the guess
that Jess has been talking about
for months now
London Brown will be joining us he's promoting the final
season of Power Book 3 Raising
Canaan and if you listen to the show
you know Jess will find a way to
call somebody Uncle Marvin to
I guess to make things
seem like the Uncle Marvin
Yes. And now Uncle Marvin will be joining us.
The world of Canaan is real, y'all.
Chill out.
Oh, my goodness.
We'll talk to him next.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Jess hilarious.
Salomey and the Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Long La Rosa is here as well.
We've got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
Uncle Marvel, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, I appreciate you from buddies and sisters.
Yes, just has been dying for you to come up here.
When I mean, every moment, I mean...
Everything in life relates to you.
It revolves about you.
We can be talking about just regular stuff
and she brings up an Uncle Marvin story
and I really think she thinks it's real.
Listen, how real is it to you?
You know what?
But no, beyonds, that's what
people are supposed to feel.
If we as actors are doing what we, you know,
what we should be doing, which is people should
feel some sort of empathy for these characters.
So that was the goal anyway.
I didn't want Uncle Marvin to be
a caricature on a show and just
the, you know, just somebody.
Yeah.
You should feel, you should feel
like, you know, you see something within that person that's human, and that's what we connect to.
And you know Marvin was going to die when you started this final season?
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
That's her question.
That's what she wanted to know.
That's all she wanted to say.
I'm not going to be in the middle of this.
She might fight you right now.
That's all she wanted to know.
It wasn't me.
I didn't know that.
Anyway, since your reaction, what was you going to say?
Did you know that Uncle Marvin's character was going to tie?
I'm trying to remember because they were really good and not, like, they don't.
People think like we get all the seasons and it's just a boatload of scripts and we just know what's going on.
We don't really know.
So because of that, at the time was kind of annoying for me because I was like, man, I want to know what's happening so I can start to play these things early.
But because I didn't know, it forced me to just be extremely present because I didn't know.
So it's just like, let me just like this.
So I don't, I'm trying to think if he, shout to Sasha Penn, the show run.
I'm trying to think if he told me or not.
He may have, but there's so much going on.
You would have remembered that because now you got to get another.
job.
It was different.
We knew season was ending.
Yeah, the show was done.
So I've been thinking
by unemployment since the show started.
Act was like an incredible
temp job.
Like, you work when you work.
You know what I mean?
But I don't trust,
to be honest with you,
I don't trust none of this stuff,
man.
I got it, all this stuff is God anyway
because I can't depend on
this stuff.
Everything, the business is fickle anyway.
So, you know,
and then we had the rider strike,
COVID and all the thing.
I can't be, you know,
worrying about this stuff too much.
But you play such a pivotal role, you know, as Uncle Marvin's character in the world of Raising Canaan, right?
What did it mean to London Brown when Uncle Marvin did get killed and we had to see it in three different angles, Marvin, in the church.
I know, he kind of said, Mrs. Spike Lee, he's good for that.
He'll double back on an emotion like that.
But, you know, it was just interesting that the guys that I, people send me like voice notes of the,
you know, guys crying.
And we're talking about these some goons.
So, you know, and shout out to my,
shout to Big Mike on Chicago.
He was telling me how they had some opposing.
He was watching the show with some ops and different people.
But at that particular moment, people, you know, felt they still cried, you know.
But that's cool.
I mean, he's supposed to feel that.
Yeah.
That's what, otherwise.
Why would Mike be watching this TV show with his ops?
Because that, or he brings them together.
Right.
That's exactly what.
He was, he was in the room.
He did not necessarily, his office.
but there were two opposing people that were in the same building.
And he was a watch party, something and so,
and he was talking, say, hey, man, these dudes up there,
they're crying about your show, man.
They love what you're doing.
I was gonna kill you, man, but Uncle Marvin, boy,
you better be lucky Uncle Marvin's dog.
Your character started to evolve, though,
because at first you was like, super, like, volatile.
And then you started, like, having conversations
with your daughter, and we started feeling feelings,
and you were still eating snacks,
but, like, we were always kind of trying to figure out
what emotion and what's,
side we were going to get from you. But it was like you
were trying to evolve if it's a man, but you couldn't
leave who you were. I think, but I think
that's Uncle Marvin is
I think, well, what I try to do is try
to just layer him down as far
as he's not just one thing.
So at one point he could be holding a bag of
of chips, he could be holding the gun or he could be holding
his daughter. And none of those things seem out of place
because they all are him.
So, but most, when you think about most of us,
we're not just one thing. We're not always
one particular way. Sometimes we wake
up in the morning, we get a text. The text of three
whole energy off but that's not to say that you're not being the real you when you
show up for work this is this is what version of you you got when you with your kids
that's another version there we are a substronom of things so again i just wanted to i just wanted him
to read as a real person and not just some you know and also i'm with some i'm with some juggin
eyes like shout to patina miller yes tony danza window pier i'm with some haley kiel i'm with some
some people that's going to show up so yeah i'm not trying to get i wasn't my mom
main goal was not to get what I call
Lost in the Sauce with the show. I already knew.
I was like, man, I ain't fin to just, I'm
with some hitters. These, these folks
get busy with the acting. So, I was
like, man, let me stay employed, man. And also,
when I'm acting, I'm low-key auditioning for
the next project. I don't know who
going to sit back and watch this show. You know, I'm
trying to, I'm thinking about, I'm
this for today, but also for tomorrow.
Where'd you grow up? L.A. I'm from South Central, L.A.
That's crazy. How long
did it take for you to get the New York accent down? Because you've got it
down. Well, you know, honestly, I
I started to...
Even lying the whole time?
A little bit.
No, what that was, I
started
kind of entertained
the idea because
I used to do as Denzel
impersonation.
So I had some ideas
about...
Let's hear it.
A little bit.
It's not what you know.
It's what you can prove.
So when I began to work on,
calling these things out,
boom.
Anyway, start playing with, you know,
the verbiage of that
and the vows of that.
And then, of course,
just being around the culture,
I was outside all the time.
And shot on also
to Malcolm Mays. We both from LA.
Love me.
But I'm glad people, you know,
people, they liked what we did
because, you know, if we didn't do,
if we didn't, if we weren't believable,
they would, they would, I would have heard it.
I'm outside all the time.
You know, you know, you know,
I was telling Jess earlier,
well, she was asking me, she said I didn't know you,
but I'm like, we've interviewed London before.
Actually, yeah, yeah.
But you're a comedian.
Yeah, I'm standing.
He does stand-up.
Yeah, I'm standing up.
Is he, he, he's driven all of your questions?
You know, tell.
You know what?
I already know about you.
I've been on shows,
but you had everything.
The show of me is allowed.
Actually, yes.
We did Barclays together.
Oh,
you just called him Marvin.
I didn't think you knew nothing.
No,
no, no, no.
I know.
I know.
I know he's going to be in the middle of this.
But I still always acknowledge him as London Brown,
but he just played a very,
very, you know,
heartfelt character to me.
No,
just like I did shows with him.
What do you mean?
Like, I know.
You get nervous, nervous about being stuck as Marvin?
Right? Meaning we had a Mari up here and I was like,
people look at you as ghosts so much that that bother you as an actor.
Like that you'll be always.
No.
Especially because people love Marvin or was so into Marvin.
Marvin is solidified as ghosts?
No, I just say that.
I'm not comparing.
I mean, I think, well, okay, I think ghost is different because of he led the show so early on.
But I think your character, by the time you died, people really.
Just like, y'all, just they need the one of y'all know.
No, I feel like people really hanging on to Uncle Marvin
and you passing away.
I think it's different
because ghosts let the series.
I'm just comparing the two.
Like people know him as this.
Are you nervous that people are only known to your market?
No, I mean, I'm like,
first of all, man,
we got to, again,
we got to decide what we want to be,
by the way, the fact that people even know London
or Marvin, I ain't tripping.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
So I'm like, I'm good.
I'm good with that because let's go back.
When I first did this with you guys,
we're on the show called The Hustle.
Nobody, nobody.
Oh, shit.
You know what I didn't remember?
You know what I'm saying?
He was on that.
We did that together.
Exactly.
We did the whole scene together.
I'm trying to show your dumb ass.
Oh, holy shit.
He was on ballless.
He did the hustle.
Yo, I literally said, I said, you act like you don't know that you know who London
Brons did.
I don't know.
I was telling her I know who you are.
She was trying to tell me I didn't know who you are.
I know who London Brown is, but I forgot we did the hustle.
With Freddie Gibbs.
And you,
and me.
But you know, again,
No, this is why we do this.
This is what TV does.
Like, what the f*** did I walk into?
You're the name?
No, no, I get it.
This is all part of this, this journey of all of this,
which is, you know, you do an interview two,
you do a show or two,
and people get a little more exposure to different things.
So, I mean, I know this is early stage,
so to your question,
I'm not concerned about, you know,
because I'm not stuck to one idea,
but if people remember me for Marvin, that's cool.
Whatever, you know, buy tickets,
come out, and Marvin all day then.
Now, how involved was Fifth on set with Raising Canaan?
I mean, I know he showed up a few times.
He showed up a few times.
He showed up a few times.
He wasn't like there every day because, of course, he got his own thing.
He got going on, but he showed up a few times to just, you know, see how, how, what his money is doing.
And I got it, you know, but he was cool.
Shout out the Fifth, man.
And to see how McCaugh Curtis was getting the talk down just like him.
Because like you said, season one, McCoy Curtis wasn't talking like 50.
Yeah, we talk more like 50 than 50.
He got over here, no, he was for this thing.
Yeah, he said to McCa.
That's a lot, man.
People don't understand, like, to carry a show like that or like this, this is a big show.
He, you know, he was always cool, always humble, man, nice.
That's the cool thing about the show is that everybody does good energy, man.
It wasn't like, you know, it didn't get weird.
Because sometimes it get weird.
And also, I got a shout out to the writers again because sometimes on the show,
by the second and third season, the writing starts tanking.
Yes.
But this show, I felt personally that the writing just got better.
It got strong and just got more the plot twist.
You never knew what was going on.
But so I'm just glad to even be a part of the show, man.
You think Marvin deserved it.
I think that with that lifestyle, that comes with that, that's going to be expected.
Even with a redemption art?
Well, even with that, sometimes, but that's how life is.
Sometimes it may not always circle around.
Because the only I could have thought of it, I said, if they didn't write them,
If they didn't write his death, then maybe he would have, you know,
rolled off into the sunset with jukebox and maybe he's been a different kind of dad.
But I think how he went out, I think it was good storytelling.
I did it, man.
So shout out to him.
Did you watch Power?
I watched Power later.
Like a long time.
I watched it later as in recently because, again, I didn't watch it initially because at the time I was on Ballers.
And I remember hearing about Game of Thrones Ballers and Power.
I wanted me on Power badly.
I was like, man, I knew the Hood watched Power.
But I, you know, but I was grateful for mine, but I didn't want to watch it because I was like, I wanted to do it.
So when I eventually- Was it acting bad to you?
No, no, no. Amar, oh, man, Amari.
Oh, man, I haven't made him yet.
Amari just, oh, man.
I can find out because of what Lauren says.
She said the acting was bad.
I didn't say the acting.
I said, we grew with Tari in his role once he took over once Omari died.
That is what I said.
That is what I said.
As a lead of the show, we grew with Tari is what I said.
I thought it was great.
Yeah, Amari is strong.
All, Amari, strong, all made.
, Amari, Amari, strong, act, whatever.
She's strong.
There's a couple of cats, man, when you watch him,
again, you feel something when you watch.
That's what, but also, when they took him out,
I say, there ain't nobody's safe.
Because as the face and as strong
because he wasn't as an actor,
I definitely didn't get comfortable on Raisin.
People still think he alive.
He, oh, man, shout to him, Marr.
I ain't met the brother yet.
That brother got chops.
Strong, right?
You better, you better bring your A game
with somebody like him.
People like Patina, shout out to Alon Noel.
on Nemesis.
We started, we did the hustle together.
I remember.
Yeah, Alon is, some cats, they get busy.
How you like Nemesis?
Alon is strong.
Alon is strong.
That's what's the, yeah.
Uh-huh, Courtney Kay.
That's my guy.
I actually spoke to him a couple days ago.
Some telling you, man, some people just got the, got the,
they got the chops.
That brother got chops, man.
So shout out to Alana, well.
That's another one.
I'm telling you, these are the next ones.
How do you find time to stay on the road and stay on these stages with, you know, a flourishing acting career?
You know what?
It's just one of those things when, you know, even when I was here, you tried to hit us from, it's just a part of your lifestyle.
I mean, you know this.
We try to get, you know, I get into a city if I'm there.
And that's one thing TV does help with is that allows me to kind of drop in on the spot.
Whatever you want.
Can I get a little time?
And sometimes I don't even need a lot of time.
Just let me get the, let me try this new material out.
Let me just get on stage.
Just something about staying on stage that, you know, keeps yourself active with it.
So, but I, you know, and bills is how I stay.
Bills don't stop, man.
And then people, you know, people borrow.
They think because you on TV, they just assume you got money.
I'm like, man, everybody just, my thing is this.
I'm speaking to that, this is the least my friends can do.
My friends watch this.
If you're going to borrow some money from me, look, I looked there.
This one right.
If you're going to borrow some money for me, the least I need you to do is watch the show.
That's the least you can do.
All my friends are going to borrow some money and then don't watch the show.
How you know they don't watch it?
Come on, man.
I can't afford a star's package.
How do you know they don't watch it?
I can tell because, but it's one of those things too.
Sometimes your friends don't see what's going.
They can't see the progression because they're so close to you.
So I'm, and I don't mind.
I mean, I'm still, quote, unquote, London and that's cool because that keeps me in a very
grounded space.
But I'm like, well, you're going to borrow.
some money. At least watch the show.
But what if I can't afford stars?
Or your Wi-Fi cut off. That's what they borrow on money.
You don't. I don't, I ain't buying it.
If they got money for weed and they got money for a haircut, you got, you got a little.
That's why they borrow money from you.
Man, that's why I can't be doing this.
There's no more.
I'm not a no.
What's the most of somebody asked you for?
A few, a few grand.
What's a few?
Three?
No, no, at least.
I'm going to watch something.
I think this, I think you guys about seven to, I think 10 grand.
It's not a few.
Seven to seven to ten grand.
I hate it.
No, no, no.
I hate when you get asked me for something they know they can't never pay me back.
You never made this much money in your life at one time.
That's what I'm saying?
My thing is, at least, okay, if you're not going to.
But what was it for, though?
Was it for something good?
Or was it, was it?
You know what?
I think it might have been for something good, but it's just the fact that, first of all, we didn't even,
some of these people, we've never even had lunch before, right?
Wow.
So it's just like, the unimidated gall to do that, I'm like, the fact that you even went that high
lets me know you've been counting.
Yeah?
Or you've been trying to count.
I'm like, what made you think 10 grand?
is disrespectful.
Seven grand.
But audacity is crazy.
I ain't even ever sat down at lunch with you
and I'm asking about $10,000.
And I haven't watched one full episode.
Come on.
They part of thing Uncle Marvin
is still making it through the episode.
That's not right.
The net worth is 2 to 4 million, so yeah.
Hey man, put the papers to the side, man.
Celebrity Network, 2 to 4 million.
The weirdest part is when they ask
for weird numbers that you can't say no.
Let me get $142.
Mm-hmm.
People know better than it.
Because you know that specific.
They might really need that.
Let me get $63.
18 cent. I just start replying to times. I just, I don't even, you know, and, and just keep it moving.
Because sometimes, again, I do help a lot of people. And I will call people and I say, hey, maybe you need something.
If I can't help with the whole amount, maybe I could put a little something down on. I can help you with it.
But, you know, again, but, you know, if you want to keep your heart in check, you got to give anyway.
It don't necessarily mean money, but you got to keep your heart in check by giving.
Absolutely.
Now, talk to me about the London Brown Scholarship.
I think it's absolutely dope that you have a scholarship named after you.
Yes, I'm part of a shout-out to Dr. Teresa Price, NCRF National College Resources Foundation.
So me, Yo-Yo, Kel Mitchell, Da Vinci, we're all like ambassadors for the program.
What we do, basically, we travel around and when we're not working and whatnot,
and we help give out scholarships to help students get into HBCUs.
And so we all do our seminars and we try to just be, you know,
inspirational on that side, but also put some money if we can help these students out then we can try to do.
Because sometimes a lot of people, man, they first time, you know, first time going off the college,
they, parents might be immigrants or something.
They don't cover no background of college and school or whatnot.
But if we can help them and inspire them to do so, and like I said, be a space for resources.
And sometimes that might just mean, even if it's not financial, it might be just,
because we give out a lot of scholarships on the spot.
Some people get full rise.
So if we can do that stuff
and they can understand
and just see it coming from somebody
real regular, Decliffe from Salis in LA,
but they'd be like, man, you're on the show?
Again, the show is that, that's the drawing.
You know, TV is good for the influence.
But now I've got your attention.
Let's talk about something more solid
or let's get to the thing.
We were talking about that this morning
what young Doug was talking about.
I think that's what he was trying to say
when he was saying how,
what was it?
You got a famous.
You want kids to be famous?
That's the most important part.
Fame gets you in rooms, but I was saying that, no, you know, the work gets you in those rooms
and you can become famous from that work that you're already doing.
Right, right.
That's kind of what you're saying as well.
Yeah, I mean, because, again, to be on TV is if we're not going to do anything with us,
with that, it's kind of like, what are we doing?
It's the same thing like, and I don't know, maybe because I'm not a billionaire yet,
but I'm like, how do we have billionaires and we still got people homeless?
I don't understand that
Homeless veterans
Again, maybe because I'm not in that space yet
But I'm like, when people talk about
Not having so much money
They can't spend it all
How does that work?
Probably because you're not supposed to have that much
Yeah
Anyway, that's all I get into some others
But nonetheless, the whole idea is just that
Don't let me become a billionaire
I'm looking for people to help
And you know, if I can do that
I'm like, man, let's just let's get it going
Well, I mean, you're proving that right
because what you do with a million dollars is what you're going to do with a billion.
There you go.
What did Marvin teach you about forgiveness that London didn't understand before playing?
I think just to slow down and process, meaning sometimes, you know, we judge our parents and then when you get old, they'd be like, okay, that's why dad was like this.
I know why my dad didn't stick around because mom was tripping.
or mom my mom
I remember she told me early on
she said London don't
don't be talking
don't share your business with everybody
because everybody ain't happy for you
now at the time I didn't understand that
now I'm like
you know I get it
my mother's you know she's very
clandestine and just you know
now looking forward
I realize people ain't happy for you
so you just stopped I just stopped sharing stuff
you know and and keep to myself
but anyway that's the same I think
with Marvin is
one of those things too. Just slow down the process.
On the show, Marvin's father, they committed suicide.
And there's little things where we have to realize, why is Marvin the way he is?
Nobody, no one's born a criminal.
That's why when you understand why people do what they do, why they do what they do
and get to the psychology of these things, your judgment comes down because you realize
something led them to where they are and choices and circumstances.
So with Marvin, part of that too
is bringing the judgment down
because you realize everybody got a story.
Again, Canaan didn't start off
as the OG Canaan.
At one point, he was a kid.
He didn't like the sight of blood.
That was, you know, traumatic for him.
And then you look up and he said, oh, man,
he looked at Rock.
Because I remember when the show first dropped
and was like, go ahead, Rock Black Queen.
And I'm like, Rock was manipulating this thing
from the junk.
When you look at Canning, be like, man,
for your moms to have you
try to, you know, take your pops
out. You know, all of these things lead
up to the Canaan that we get to
and same thing with Marvin. You know, Marvin had
was learning and
growing as everyone was watching.
So, as I am, so
I'm learning from that. You mentioned
losing your brother a couple of times, right?
Did playing a character like Marvin,
surrounded by all that death, you know, the killing,
did it ever become emotionally expensive
for you? You know, this last
season was definitely
what happens is like
upper back is
like stress but lower back
is like emotional stress
and I remember my back
I did a lot of lower back pain
the last season
it was like every day
it was just it was emotional
you know
that year I went to like 20 funerals
in 2024
so the first 8th
was between January and February
so I get these calls
all the time
yeah I get these calls all the time
so again
it wasn't difficult to go there with Marvin.
The day before we started shooting season five,
grandmother had passed,
and I got a call about that.
And so all these things were just, again,
it was, I was very,
but when I lost my brother,
because before my brother,
I remember hearing you guys talk about this one time,
I think it might have been with,
I think Tyrese was on here,
but just talking about,
I grew up in the hood,
so I was conditioned not to cry.
I thought something was medically wrong,
but you don't realize that
because you just functioned and you're just moving.
But after I lost my brother,
I became way more empathetic and just,
the good thing about that was it made me just way more passionate
and way more empathetic for people.
And so I feel for people, you know, in a different way.
But I didn't know that until again, when I lost my brother,
I was like, oh, shoot, this is that.
You know, and as rough as that was, like I said,
the cool thing about it was it just changed my heart in a good way.
and it just made me just care.
That's what I'm.
Thank you, man.
We appreciate you.
I'm not doing this with y'all.
London, thank you so much.
I'm sorry, London.
I'm sorry, London.
No, man.
I love them.
Every time you're talking.
London is the same thing.
London is the man.
I appreciate your family.
I always love you, Uncle Marvin.
Thank you so far.
London, Brown,
aka Uncle Marvin.
Do you want to say anything else?
Real quick.
One last thing, man.
Shout out.
No, I got to sign my boy.
I got to sign my boy.
I got to sign my boy.
boys, Justin Hires, B.T. Kingsley.
Y'all be sure to tune into killing the pie.
Man, these guys, we got a wonderful inspirational podcast.
Yeah, man, killing the pop.
Justin Hired, B.T. Kingsley, be sure to follow these guys.
That's your part.
Yeah, my, I say these guys, my guys, my brothers.
Your podcast.
It's our podcast.
But the thing about what makes it dope is that we talk to cast about not necessarily
how they're doing now, but how did they get there?
How did you get to a million followers?
How did you sell out whatever your theater?
or how'd you book and become number one on the call sheet.
So, yo, when you guys in the city, please, I mean, hey, love to have you guys and chop it up or something, you know.
Absolutely.
So I appreciate you guys, man.
Thank you.
London Brown, it's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense.

Will the pasto survive the first bite?
Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all?
And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

Let's get to the latest with Laura.
You better be told us for all right.
The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio, the black radio.
That sources trust.
Did you hear that exclusive?
Lauren.
I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest conference.
You ask the question that need to be answered.
On the breakfast club.
Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.
L.L. Coobe.
Talk to me.
So Cardi B is having that conversation with her kids.
Which one?
The one about them need to know how to fight.
Oh.
That's right.
Let's take a listen to the conversation and we'll get into a conversation.
Let's take a listen to Cardi.
Ready for Bucking Day tomorrow.
This is the age we need to know how to fight.
Everybody knows how to fight.
Yeah, that's it.
Where about?
No, knowing them.
gonna try you when you grew up in sh**.
You know, you're in them white good schools,
but you know, you're outside.
I mean, gonna be there for you all the time.
And I got some .
So, you know, when you're 25 and shit,
and I'm gonna be, you know, I'm like.
Don't maybe bring out my daughter?
Which daughter you want?
Both my daughters got them hands and my sons, you understand?
No, when I'm an old bitch and I can't fight no more,
you got me?
Yeah, exactly.
When I'm like about 60 and I'm talking shit, please,
that's when you come in.
Coach her, come beat this ass.
Yeah, she's fucking me.
I'm playing bingo.
At Rip Blossom, too, you're going to jump ass.
Kids should know how to defend themselves.
Yeah, they should.
When age, I'm going to hold you.
My mother's 60 and she's talking is she talking is.
My, shut up.
We're not doing it.
It gets worse.
It gets older.
Talking is to who?
To anybody, she said, when I'm old and I'm 60 and I'm talking ish to these
bitches, I'm going to call y'all to get on.
Nah.
Well, it's the thing.
Shut my mother up at 16.
You should know how to defend this.
Cardi B's kids probably going to get suspended once or twice, right?
I'm going to tell exactly what happens, right?
because that's how we all start, right?
Right? When I had my first child, I told him the same thing,
teach him how to fight and this daddy ever.
But you got to tell you kids, there's parameters, right?
So what usually happens is when they go to school and somebody says something
and they get into a fight and then you got to tell them,
well, you got to wait to somebody hit you first.
Like, because you've got to stand parameters.
If not, because your kids have just all whaling out.
Like my daughter Madison, who's 24, the first day I, you know,
I taught her how to fight and if there's a problem in school.
Next day she closed line the kid and she got suspended, right?
Jesus.
She just went and found a kid to call the kid.
Kid pushed her.
Kid pushed her.
So she went from one side of the playground to the other playground and
close line the kid. She got suspended.
Then I had to tell her, you know, well, you just
can't put your hands on anybody and you got to teach
them this parameters. Like, if somebody hit you,
hit them back, you know? That's why I didn't say
teach them how to fight. I said you got to teach them.
They're about to defend themselves, yes.
And that's how you can decide how to defend yourself.
But just fighting to get them suspended and then you
have to read. Exactly. Like you said, it's parameters.
Calibrate and everything. Yeah.
All right.
All right. Now, moving on.
So JT,
JT, formerly City Girls.
She is now taking on a new career path
because she went and took some DJ classes.
That's what's up, actually.
Let's take a listen.
So yesterday I went to a class with Sarado-Talern had a DJ,
and I see why DJ used to be ignoring the fuck out of us growing up.
When we go up to the DJ booth and you like,
can you play this song, can you play this song?
And we thought that it was being so rude.
Bitch, DJing is actually really fucking hard.
You really have to focus.
That is like a real skill, and I just want to apologize to DJs.
Growing up, I used to think that you just did not want to play this song that I liked in the club.
Not knowing you got to cue up.
You got to do all of this stuff.
You got to transition at home.
I'm still learning, so I got to learn all the lingo or whatever, but I get it now.
Like, I 100% get it.
So all y'all motherfuckers that be going to the DJ booth and y'all be like, hey, play this song and y'all be doing that little shit.
Sit the f*** down.
I love it.
I respect that.
If she got the lingo transition, absolutely cue up?
Absolutely.
But you got to know how to do it, though.
Yeah.
That'd be the thing with a lot of celebrity DJs, they don't really.
do nothing but play music. They don't actually
DJ. It'll mix. It'd be cute.
But that's my thing though, right? Because I
understand her being like, now I get it and I want to bother
the DJ. But there are some DJs that like
it don't be good. They be mixing, they be doing
all that stuff. And it still doesn't be good. So I'm
requesting songs because I'm here and I'm spending
my money. But it happens a lot, but sometimes DJs
have a set, right? So if they're in their old school set
and somebody says, I want to hear this or they're in their reggae
set and somebody says, I want to hear this or they're in their
down south set and I want to hear this. And people
a lot of times they're drunk and they just want to hear this song
when they want to hear this song.
That's not how we go, though.
No, don't.
I can't tell what a good DJ is anymore because all y'all do is staying around.
You got a whole generation of people who don't do nothing but staying around on the club all day long.
I'm just a professional button presser.
They're not mixing no more.
Certain DJs, if you're really, really good and you're getting into,
Envi's a really good DJ.
People think that you're not.
I get busy.
Yeah, people don't think he's a little DJ.
They think he's just a celebrity DJ.
Like the little cute DJ.
A lot of people think you're not.
But I tell people all the time, you are in the transitions.
You can't be at a party.
In certain DJs, you can't be at their party.
You can't hear certain songs they mix and you lit and you're not dance.
Envy, you know that when you DJ parties of a certain age,
especially the alumni parties of people that are the old we dance.
Yeah, I dance.
There's a whole new generation.
They'll be standing around looking dumb.
Well, see, well, that's the thing.
That's the thing.
I, you know, I'm in a place where I can DJ what I want to DJ now.
But I won't do certain places because I want to have fun, right?
And if I got a DJ and everybody's standing there looking at you,
they're standing on couch and they're just looking at it.
And then, you know, just looking at a bunch of dudes in a section looking at each of.
I'm like, I don't want to do it.
But now if I go to a party and people like to dance, like when it's home coming or it's an R&B party or I just did something in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago. It's like 6,000, 7,000 people. Like, I love that because people dance. They give you that energy back. Other than that, you can keep that. But back to what you said, I get busy. Oh, you do. Listen, I went to the cousins festival, baby. I get busy.
Yeah. Every set had every generation out there going crazy. I'd be humble. He played music from every generation and he mixed his transitions. I be hungry.
But most of these niggas can't tie my shoes
I'd be humble but most of these niggas can't tie my shoes
Say the other one.
Say what Uncle Maher's saying you can't even
I'm so high you can't even see me, Nick
No say to other than what you say?
Nikes can't tie my shoes.
Period.
I'll be humble, I get busy.
Yes.
Yeah.
And listen and when you see
Capital B.
And when you see the guys
Capital B used to be
and when you see the guys standing on the coaches
you know in the section
looking at each other play quiet on the creek baby
because then that's the way to get them to move.
That's the way to get them to move.
Yup.
They're going to stay in them on left tips
and they're going, yep.
I don't come to back.
I know that's killing in the gay clubs, right?
I want to create?
Yeah.
And it's been killing in the Lacken to me.
Why he said right and look at me like,
I'll be DJing them.
You're very selective of what you DJ now,
so I know that you,
I know what you be.
I know where you be.
They said you'd be there too.
You was happy in our TikTok.
You were crazy.
You was having a great.
Our TikTok that we did with Saucy Cincinnati.
When you were bouncing them to you?
Yeah, when you was crying on the creed,
you was bouncing your whole body.

Okay.
Yes.
Well, that was the...
You're meant to be a girl.
I just want to let you know your thighs,
you're thick, where you dance.
The eyebrows.
The eyebrows.
You're going to tell me I'm meant to be a girl.
I was going to be a girl.
Oh, my God.
I was born a man.
I'm a tire man.
Okay, I identify as a man.
Don't tell God I was making you something.
He didn't make me.
That's right.
That kind of crazy that statement was that.
That's right.
That's right.
That was crazy.
Uh-huh.
All right.
All right.
You're going to die, man.
How are you going to tell God he made a mistake?
That's right!
I know that's right.
Yes.
That's right.
It's the latest.
That was the latest for the hour, yes.
And coming up in the next latest,
Ray J might be homeless,
so we're going to talk about it.
Oh, God.
He just gave his life to Christ.
He was just up here, looking good.
He's slimmed down.
He just put his seatbelt on.
With Brandy told him put the seat bottle on.
He just won some money from the fight,
and now we...
Girl.
Yeah, we'll get into it.
We'll get into it.
We give you a donkey.
Man, four after the hour.
Let's talk about abuse of power.
There's a police officer in Florida who needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We like to have a word with him, please.
All right.
We'll get to that next.
It's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
Make sure you tell him to watch out for Florida, man.
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
Yes, you are a donkey.
A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason.
It gave him too much money.
Florida man is arrested after deputy's day.
He rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocate his pregnant wife.
Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.
The breakfast club, bitchy.
Donkey of the day when Shalaman the guy.
I don't know why y'all keep letting him get you all that.
It's not me.
It's Florida Duvall.
Okay, donkey today from Wednesday, August 19th, is going to a Florida police officer named Christopher Goodson.
And he is not a good son at all.
Okay, first off, what does your uncle Shala always say about the great state of Florida?
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
And today is no exception.
See, Christopher faces two.
criminal charges after an investigation found evidence that he's a world-class stalker.
Okay, as a father of four daughters, I pray that none of my babies ever meet a man who can't let go.
Because I'm a shoot him.
I'll get him shot.
Okay, see, Christopher Goodson was abusing his power as a police officer, and he was using flock cameras to track his estranged ex-wife while on and off duty.
Okay, you have to hear this story to believe it.
Let's go to 10 Tampa Bay News for the report, please.
Deny to Haynes City police officers facing charges after investigators say he misused flop cameras to track his estranged wife.
Court documents say Officer Christopher Goodson search for his wife's license plate 717 times on the flock camera system between September 24 and June of this year.
Investigators say there was no criminal investigation involving his estranged wife or her vehicle.
Goodson is charged with computer-related offenses and official misconduct.
He was placed on administrative leave while the department investigated.
Haines City police say he is expected to resign and was not fired by the department.
Hain City Police Chief Isaac Jackson released a statement here about the investigation saying in part, quote,
the Haines City Police Department does not tolerate the misuse, unauthorized access, or personal use of any investigative databases or law enforcement information systems.
These resources are provided for legitimate official purposes only and must be used.
responsibly.
Christopher, you put your ex-wife's license plate number
into the flock database 717 times in the span of almost two years.
There's only 365 days in a year.
Okay, 365 times 2 is 730.
That means you were searching this woman's license plate number every day.
Sometimes a few times a day, sir.
Okay, that's your ex-wife.
And if she left you, all you are doing right now is proven that she made the right decision.
Okay, this is why I try.
not to blame technology for problems because technology doesn't abuse power. People abuse power
through technology. And Christopher Goodson is a perfect example of what happens when somebody's
personal obsession gets access to institutional power. Okay. This man used flock license plate
reading cameras that track his estranged wife's vehicle 717 times.
Damn. Sir, you are not checking on her. You have turned heartbreak into a surveillance operation.
Okay, you can't keep those kinds of tabs on that.
Boom, boom, boom.
It's over.
Okay, time to move on now.
All right, Christopher reportedly told his supervisor that he was tracking the vehicle because he wanted to know where his kids were when they were with their mother.
You can't just ask her and take her word for it.
Okay, I don't know how old the kids are, but you can't just talk to the kids and ask them where they were today with their mother.
Like, this is completely unnecessary because investigators say his estranged wife, as you just heard in the news report, wasn't involved in any criminal investigators.
her vehicle wasn't connected to a crime
and according to the affidavit
Christopher allegedly entered reasons
for the searches including road rage
reckless driving
drugs, theft, fleeing police
and assault and battery offenses.
He painted this woman as a city girl
all because she was apparently
somewhere he didn't know about
and that's what bothers me about
this story. This man made this woman something
she wasn't because he
couldn't let go. Abuse of power
okay? This isn't
simply about a man who couldn't let go of
as a strange wife. This is about what happens
when somebody who can't let go has access
to tools the rest of us don't have.
See, regular toxic people, they stocked
through Instagram, okay, regular toxic
people, they watch stories from burner accounts.
Regular toxic people
have to drive past the house,
pretending they were just in the neighborhood, okay?
But an allegedly toxic police
officer can potentially sit down
with government technology and ruin
your day.
Okay? Rewen your life if you wanted to.
That's a different level of toxic.
Okay.
And that's why you can't have these hurt, petty people in positions of power.
Okay.
America has people in positions of power who are weaponizing these agencies,
these institutions, this technology against everyday people who are just trying to live their life.
And the real test of a system isn't whether good people can use it responsibly.
The real test is how difficult this system makes it for a bad actor like Christopher Goodson to abuse it.
Okay.
We know fly cameras can be.
absolutely useful. They read license plates and they help law enforcement locate vehicles
connected to crimes and missing people and suspects, but you do have a bunch of officers abusing
them, okay? There have been a growing series of allegations involving law enforcement officers
misusing the license plate reader systems for personal reasons. I read a report that says more than
50 officers nationwide have been accused of misusing flock are similar systems and
flock has announced strongest safeguards including mandatory case numbers and automated review
designed to flag abnormal searches that tells you everything you need to know when the company
that built the surveillance technology starts you know uh scrimfening safeguards because people
keep allegedly abusing the surveillance technology that lets you know what the problem is okay but
let's talk about christopher for a minute let's talk about christopher for a minute because
this is the teachable moment when somebody decides to leave your life you have to let them
leaf okay a badge can give you access to information but it cannot give you access to a person
who no longer wants you in their life are poom-pum okay sometimes the hardest form of discipline
isn't holding on it's accepting that it's over okay learn how to let people go rejection doesn't
become less of a rejection just because you refuse to accept it and when you use your power your
position or technology to keep tabs on somebody who has already chosen distance that's not love that's
entitlement okay you're not fighting for the relationship anymore you're fighting against
somebody else's right to be done technology doesn't create obsession it gives obsession
better tools that's why people entrusted with surveillance technology and and power have to be
held to an incredibly high standard okay the scary part isn't simply that somebody allegedly
couldn't let go it's that he allegedly had a system available that could turn his inability
to let go into the ability
to hold on and keep watching.
Please give Christopher Goodson
the sweet sounds and the hamletones.
You are the donkey.
You are the donkey.
He-ho.
It's original right there, right?
That's the new one.
No, that's original.
That's the original one.
All I think of is, man,
how you would have ruined Rome's life
with that type of technology back in the day.
Oh, you're damn right.
Especially back in a day.
You already know.
absolutely
when
when special agents
use that stuff
because remember on power
Angela Valdez
and special agent
Greg Knox did that too
yeah
she cloned ghost phone
and you know what I mean
and she ended up
getting out some trouble
you see what I'm saying
yep yep
and if ghosts went down
she's gonna go down
all for penis
all for yeah exactly
and he did it for Pong
does everything go back to
Power
Power raising gain
in it
power yes
it's life envy
it's life
you learn some good life
lessons from the power
You know.
Yes, you do.
Well, thank you for that donkey today.
Yes, ma'am.
Now, when we come back, Dr. Chuck Morris will be joining us.
He has a new book, Stress, our human superpower, the miseducation of stress.
That's the guy who'll be training y'all, right?
Yes.
That man got one of the biggest heads I've ever seen.
If you don't shut up and get out of here.
It's all right.
It's the breakfast slow.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy.
Just hilarious.
Sholameen the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
We got a special guest in the building.
He's got to book out the miseducation of stress, our human superpower.
Mr. Chuck Morris.
Yes, sir.
Let's go, let's go.
Good to be here.
Is that your real name?
It is.
You're asking that every time.
I don't talk to him.
My government name is Charles Morris.
Charles Morris.
That's my government.
My government name is Charles Morris.
It's been Chuck.
Gotcha.
People have been calling you Chuck Norris, too.
Because remember Envy was calling you Chuck Norris.
For two years, he was saying that.
Yeah, he did.
It was getting weird.
He got awkward.
Do you know any martial arts?
Yes, but I don't tell people that.
It continues to populate the theory.
Got you, got you.
So, yeah.
We're into it, though.
I love the personal messages that you put in the book for us.
Oh, well, I'm real.
Yeah.
Oh, no, absolutely.
Yeah.
Because most people would just sign it.
No, I want to do that.
So, well, mine sucks about just the pressure of things.
And you say that on the book, it says that stress is our human superpower.
So explain how if we're pressured and we're feeling under, you know, the midst of all the things.
Why would stress be helpful?
Stress is like, it doesn't feel helpful.
And that's, Lauren, I'm glad you started there.
That's exactly the issue.
And that's why we say it's the miseducation.
Stress is technically the mechanism in our body that helps us perform.
It's literally your high performance system.
But because we don't understand it, we get taught that it's this bad thing that we have to fight against or don't let it happen.
But in essence, when you're in your flow state, that's a stress response.
Wow.
People have been using flow state a lot lately.
Yeah, it's a stress response.
So is that why people say things like, well, I operate better under stress or under pressure, not under stress,
people say pressure, but pressure is stress.
It equates the stress.
Exactly. So the way that
the design of us is, can't be
denied, it's beautiful. And this is what I tell
people, I say,
I love, now, I'm not an MD,
I'm a scientist. So I stay away from
psychology, medicine, all that.
So we focus on human performance
in just research and studies, right?
People say all the time
that it's because
I'm stressed is why I'm having this response.
It's because I'm stressed that I
don't know how to do something.
And then they do what I think is healthy, which is counseling and coaching, which I think
is beautiful.
Counseling and coaching in my mind, that's being taught how to open and shut the door of stress.
How do I open and close the door?
That's what counseling and prayer meditation is, in my opinion.
What we're talking about here is exactly how the nervous system is designed.
Well, we're trying to open and shut the door that's actually off the hinges.
Because we're under chronic stress, our systems are turned all the way up.
up into hyper danger so the door isn't even on the hinges.
So why I say stress is your superpowers because this is the thing that helps you be great.
The problem isn't stress is us understanding how it works.
How do we command it?
Yeah, because you want to keep, you don't, you don't really want to stress, right?
Because long term exposure to stress, you know, can cause damage.
Like, you know, your cortisol levels will be high.
That can severely harm your body.
It raises your blood pressure, causes inflammation.
That can lead the heart attacks and all types.
and stuff like you don't really want the stress but I see but I you wrote in the book
here you quote stress is not the enemy losing con losing control of the stress
response is and and to both of your point we get taught grind I used to get it about
seven get it before you get about four you get about four we'll get it back three and it's
go go go go go go go and the reality of it is is we do go and the capability to go
is a stress response the challenge is we don't know how to turn it down
regulated.
So we don't understand,
we don't know how to regulate.
Think of it like a manual car.
And I'm always in one gear
and I don't know how to shift gears.
Well, the point of the book
is to help people understand,
one, it's not a personal issue.
It's not a character flaw.
It isn't a discipline issue.
Let's deal with just how we're wired.
If we just deal with the actual wiring
of the software,
that helps empower a person
and say, oh, wait a minute.
So I can control this.
In our space,
in the longevity, wellness space,
breathwork,
or whatever you want to call,
has turned into just calm down.
How do I extract myself out of this,
this tent situation to calm down and breathe to calm down?
And in my own opinion, research and observation,
it's doing us to harbor disjustice.
Because breathing is the only way
that I can change my entire physiological state.
And I don't need to breathe just to calm down.
So inside of the book,
you're gonna have all these different breathing techniques
to help trigger your stress response,
which is your high performance mechanism.
So this book helps you to regulate your stress.
Regulate.
Got you, got you.
Own it, master.
So you could do a breathing technique that increases your cognitive process.
It's a breathing technique.
Because I was thinking when you're stressed, like I feel like under stress,
I used to think I made the best decisions under stress.
But as I get older and the decisions matter more,
I don't know if I feel that way anymore.
But you say in the book that you got to reroute the way that your brain deals with judgment in stress.
Yes.
But things be so chaotic when you stress.
or they feel like that.
So how are we rerouting that?
That is literally crazy.
Why are you asking that?
I'm reading the shit.
And it literally speaks to what you're saying.
When regulation is lost, the decision-making degrees.
You're probably looking at the same page.
Yeah, I literally just said.
I don't know the same words.
No, no.
I know what you made, though.
It shocked you because I'll just open it up to that page.
That's crazy.
No, I'm going off of what she said about her life.
Like, not what she read.
What she said to you was how, when it was,
when she was younger,
she would make better decisions, but as she got older, like, it became chaotic and hard to make
decisions. And that's what I mean, I was reading that. Because it be like, now, I'm making
decisions now. I'm like, hmm, this is like, is that right? Or it was. But it's just like your adult
life, like the decisions matter a lot more. Or you feel like they do because it's big girl decisions now.
Now, if you, if you allow me to present for your consideration, I present for your consideration.
The reality of the moment is the same.
the relevance is the same.
You're interpreting it or we interpret it differently.
Here's what I mean by that.
If,
just,
I'll use Charlemagne,
just he's about to go on stage.
He's going to do a talk and his people's dilate.
He begins to sweat a little bit.
His hands,
feel a little something in his stomach and his body's doing something.
And let's say Robert,
some random person.
Robert's having the same experience.
And Robert has decided that that is a problem.
He needs to take medication because he always has an issue
before he goes on to do something important.
The difference becomes in that same physical, actual reality,
Charlemagne understands that, no, my pupils dialysis so I can see better
and block out the side vision.
My stomach is acting up because it's getting anything out of my stomach out of the way
because my system saying we don't need that.
My heart rate is increasing to increase the blood and oxygen into my brain
so I can make sure I remember everything.
Two same exact things are happening, but we're interpreting them differently.
He's just not panicking because he's understanding what's happening.
No, I agree.
Now I understand what you're saying because I do have panic attacks, right?
But in a moment like that, I would expect to feel some level of what I call good anxiety.
Because I know I'm about to go out in front of these people.
What I'm about to do actually mean something to me that there is going to be a level of anxiousness.
Whether you want to go out there and just, you know, do a good job.
You're like, oh, let me go out there and hurry to get this over with, whatever it is.
But I think the other person, the panic attack is when you, you know, it's irrational feet.
You know what I mean?
Like I'm gonna walk out there
and somebody gonna stand up in the crowd and shoot me.
And that starts, that extreme starts way back.
It starts way back and it starts when I'm younger
because I never was taught how to process
all the little micro things that I went through.
That's right.
So I started creating these frameworks
and these belief systems that now when I get older,
everything is hyper.
Or you didn't know what it was when you was younger.
Like I had been dealing with panic attacks
since I was a child but I didn't know that that's what it was.
But then when I talked to my father
or other people in my family who had those same experiences
and they were going to therapy
and they were on medication.
I'm like, well, goddamn, why hell ain't you talking?
You're going to tell me.
And I would know what I'm dealing with.
What took me into this?
So, again, the purpose of the book
and a lot of people push back,
never clients, but the industry pushed back on.
I've been known this full time 30 years.
But 24 years ago is when this book started.
And I was so, I had so much chronic stress
built up in my body, chronic stress.
I was a high performer, blah, blah, blah, blah,
all of that.
healthy as anybody that knew me I was the healthiest person that they knew
I thought I had pink eye
took the drops high pain tolerance
three days later because I got misdiagnosed it wasn't pink eye
three days later I'm in soft jersey eye surgeons they're like hey
we're going to cut this eye out hey this was coming out
not an option and you're going to lose 80% of the vision in this one
hands down no discussion and we need you to calm down to stop physically fighting us
because I was in so much pain it was as if they had clawed
squeezing my eyes and running down my nervous system.
I literally contracted ulcers from stress.
What?
Not in my stomach in my corneous.
When God allowed me to get healed from that,
that's what started this.
You had, hold on now.
You had ulcers in your cornea?
Ours across my corneas in the family physician misdiagnosed it as pink eye.
I got to Google this because I ain't heard of such.
In the title, you say stress is a superpower, right?
But most people look at it is something that they want to eliminate.
Yeah.
What are you, what exactly are you like trying to correct about that?
Like, because it's miseducation of stress.
What, I know it's not just one thing, but like, what is like a key thing you want to correct?
Like, yeah.
For me, one of the, one of the biggest things I'm trying to correct is that you are not less than.
And you can't control it.
That's right.
Like, that's what I really want people to understand.
Like, you can't control it.
And that's why the book doesn't say take control, says take command.
Command is actually dispersing and giving out orders as opposed to trying to contain it.
No, no, I want to direct it because I can't control it.
So for me, that's the biggest thing to help people understand that there's nothing wrong with you.
And you don't get to stop this.
You don't get to stop it.
And the last part of it is to understand that it's amazing.
I like that.
You can't control it.
You can only command it because you don't know when it happens.
Like it could be the most random thing.
You'd be like, okay.
I did that yesterday.
Yeah.
Yesterday, I'm at dinner.
It was just me and my homie and we were talking.
And we literally was one of those conversations
that lasted like an hour and some change, right?
Hour and a half, you know, you're just getting lost
in the conversation.
And at some point, man, I just looked around and was like,
all right, it's time to go.
I'm getting paranoid.
Because I just started feeling myself getting anxious
for no reason.
And so I was like, but I knew it's time to go.
And you knew all of those people though.
I was just in a restaurant.
I had been sitting there fine for hour and a half.
There was nothing that changed.
I just, it was just one of them things.
It was just like, random, you know, panic attack starting to setting.
Like, you know what?
Y, I'm about this.
And I told him, like, yo, time to go, man.
But start your paranoid for no reason.
But sometimes stuff like that, people would say, well, what if that was like your intuition telling you?
Might have been, maybe.
But he's always like that.
Yeah, but like, how do you defer to two where it's like, nah, this is my inner voice really telling me, no, you need to leave.
Something's wrong.
Or.
I didn't say that it was wrong, though.
Or like.
I just knew that my anxiety was setting in and I was feeling what I feel.
and so it's just time for me to leave.
Like you said, you can't control it,
you can just command it.
You know what I mean?
So I took command.
Like, you know what?
I'm about to be out.
Because if I stay here any long,
I'm going to have a random panic attack
for no goddamn reason.
So that's education,
pardon me,
that's education and history.
We literally have,
when we talk about intuition,
and I don't,
I stick with,
I don't tell anybody,
I don't try to push
what I believe in anybody else.
I stick with science,
technology and biology
because we can argue about that forever.
With that being said,
inside your stomach, inside of our stomach,
we have sensors that actually can identify and feel vibrations.
Like this is, like, you ever say, oh, I felt something to,
I don't know, I felt something in my stomach.
That's not in your head most times.
You mean Lauren Shrallin the whole time?
You didn't know who was a chicken sandwich over there because I felt like.
You know, I've been like you rock with it.
It was me.
It's usually you.
So the camera's shaking.
No, I had some oatmeal before you came in because it do be me, though.
So you feel it in your stomach.
You literally feel that in your stomach.
And that's because from you, there's a frequency, there's a micro frequency literally vibrating off of you.
And when minds hit yours, and if there's something really off with you, it could be because of how my own trauma.
So I feel it because it's happening, but how I interpret it is based on what's going on.
Right.
So that's, you know, when you say, well, how do you know which one it is?
Yeah.
You don't really know.
You just got to figure out what the next command is.
while that's happening, what's the command I need to give?
And, Doc, this is my last question.
You coached everybody from, you know, all types of athletes, fighters, NFL players, you know, to stay home parents, right?
Whatever, everybody from everywhere, right?
What is the biggest myth that both, that people on both ends of that spectrum believe about their body?
I think the biggest myth that they both, I used to think when we were super poor.
that I just needed money and I was going to change my life.
Then I realized that wasn't it.
Nope.
Because then I felt my first three multimillion years that cried themselves to sleep.
So I think the biggest myth that goes across that entire spectrum is the belief that as that aging and decaying is the same thing.
And I've been fighting that for 18 years with people.
They think aging and decaying is the same thing and it is not.
No way.
I get what you saying.
It is not.
And the fight that truth with people is, that's the work.
Okay.
That was my last question.

On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman.
I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.
I chose option B.
I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.
I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility.
Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people.
And they were like, you smiled at us.
Not a lot of people smile around here.
It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is
and not the lies you're sold about it.
It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind,
or wake up to a new version of yourself.
So whether you're a solo travel veteran
or you're too nervous to book your first trip,
I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your.

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months.
I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them.
I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files.
I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything.
Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unethical.
I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.
I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming.
They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced.
But these aren't stories about what's taken from them.
There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive.
Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast.
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy,
just hilarious, Shalarmine the God, and it's time for the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a straight fat.
Tell her a lot of her.
She gets into somebody that knows somebody.
She gets to detail.
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest on this.
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details,
sometimes you have a little bit everything.
Well, it's the latest.
Brought to you by Top Dogg Law on the breakfast club
Talk to me
Top Dog Low
All right y'all
To start off the latest this hour
I just want to say happy anniversary
To Cheins and his wife
He posted a like
It was like photos but it was like in a
video type format you know
On Instagram
Their anniversary was yesterday August 18th
He says it's been eight years
And 88 more to go
Happy Anniversary Mrs. Epps
Oh congratulations
Yes I love their whole little family
And I love watching him
and Halo and like, you know, just I know
I love his son. Yeah. Oh my God. Yes.
Yes. So, happy anniversary
guys. Today is a great day to go pick up
Tuchin's book. The voice in my head is God.
I know that's right. Bought to you by Black Privile
Publish. They said it was 200 mil up.
Stop saying stupid stuff. Yes.
Now shifting. I'm walking commercial.
Commercial. Walking
bank. If you want to sell
if you want to help Chene's celebrating
his anniversary. That's right.
Walking Thames. That's right.
All right. Shifting gears a bit.
Now, Ray J is trolling again.
All right.
Now, you're sure?
I am sure, and I'll get into it.
So there's a video going by right now of Ray J talking about being homeless.
Shout out to my home girl, Shirley Jew.
She has a interview series that she does.
And she sat down with Ray J.
No, she's not.
Her last name is J.U.
Oh, okay.
No, she's not old.
No, she's not old.
I think she might be Asian.
Oh, okay, okay.
Anyway, yeah, she sat down with Ray J.
Let's take a listen to Ray Jay talking about being homeless.
And I just got an apartment.
My homies own the business.
But they just gave me an apartment to live in because I've been living in the car.
Have you really?
Yeah.
Why?
It was comfortable.
Was it the Maybach?
It was.
Oh man.
Now before this clip, Ray J is talking about all these, the dumbest bag he's ever spent.
He says he bought a bunch of May bags, one for him, one for Princess, whatever.
And people just act like, you know, people with money know how to spend it and people without money act like they ain't never had any, you could tell the difference.
This clip, though, that small part of it is going viral.
And I was like, I watched it and I'm like, why is Ray J trolling again?
He came here.
And he was settled, reformed and refreshed.
Yes.
Now, for context, I did find out the timeline of this.
So this interview was actually before the fight and it was before he came here to
the breakfast club.
They smoking a little bit.
So maybe he was just back on what Ray J. be doing.
Ray J is just doing his best, okay?
What he got.
That's all.
He's just doing his best.
He is not homeless, though, guys.
Ray J is okay.
Well, good.
The hell?
Yes.
All right.
Now, we're going to shift gears a bit.
We're going to take it down to Atlanta
because Earn Your Leisure.
There was a clip that went viral of Rashad
from Earn Your Leisure.
The people were pretty upset about it.
It was him having a conversation
about black people in Earn Your Leisure.
We're still talking about this?
I thought we were fastest.
The only reason why we're still talking about this
is because Rashad had to recently come
as of yesterday. Monday?
What's the day?
Wednesday?
Rashad had to come back online
earlier this week
and apologize to the people
that support Earn Your Leisure
in a Vest Fest.
So that is new, but I want to explain why he even had to apologize first.
Let's take a listen to Rashad talking about criticizing black people.
There's no event in the world like that.
But I'm not even on the black thing no more.
I never was on a black event because I've seen somebody else that said that like it was white people.
Yeah, they're qualified to be there.
What you mean?
You think I'm a catered just to black people just to get torn down by black people?
You ought to be a fucking mind.
It's going to be even more white people next year and Spanish and the Filipinos.
Of course.
Like, I'm done.
I'm done.
It's been real.
Y'all, yeah.
Well, y'all, for what?
The only thing you're going to do is criticize and tear it down and not pay and want to get
it for free anyway.
Oh, sure.
And black people.
We can't find out black, back to them black people.
No, I'm never.
What I'm saying.
It's all inclusive.
Now, this was after they were getting a lot of flat for the stuff with the mayor.
Then it was like stuff going viral.
Like, they were like, these are all the scammers that have spoke at him best, and
they were getting a lot of things online thrown their way.
I get what he's saying.
It was up for them against whatever people online that wanted to be upset.
He did use their market Mondays, which is an online thing that they do with stock market and investing that they've been doing.
But they did a public address during that because people were upset about those comments he just made.
Let's take a listen to Rashad apologizing.
The accountability is this.
No matter how much hate we get, I know that the love is 10 times more.
And that's my fault for focusing on negativity over positivity.
So how it came out from the clip, very insensitive.
And I know that it could be hurtful to somebody that's like, damn.
I've been riding with you out from the beginning.
And how could you say this?
So I understand how people could have taken that.
And I really do want to say that if I hurt you in that commentary,
I truly am sorry for that because that wasn't what it was for.
And that's not who is directed to.
That's something that I should do a better job of focusing on the love.
But like I said, it just hit a little different.
It's a little different because we didn't raise money.
So everything that we put is on the line.
You're going to fight a little different for your when it's your child.
But it hurts even more when you see.
see black people do it.
And I understand that too.
I understand that.
Rashad is a great brother, very intelligent black man and he means well, but he's human and
you know, sometimes humans, you know, say things that they feel like they got to take
back.
Exactly.
Imagine like so, so many of your people just coming at you and all you doing is trying to educate
people on financial literacy and help make better, you know, decisions financially for your
family or whatever.
But shout out to Troy.
Yeah.
He stepped out.
He came to Planet Hollywood.
And he and his wife
make sure I got home safe.
I was drinking.
You was out of last night.
I was outside, baby.
That's crazy.
I'd be all trying to get you outside and be late.
I got to call 50 to get you outside.
Yes, you did.
Okay, all right.
I also want to add, Rashad clearly was
speaking out of frustration.
And you just said, Jess,
and I'm going to say the same thing
just in a different way.
When these niggas be niggin, it can be upsetting.
Okay?
But you have to focus on the people
who love you and not the ones who don't.
Absolutely.
Because you had 30.
thousand people at Invest Fest.
The biggest year yet. The majority of them was
black people and they were out there showing
love. That's what you focus on.
That's right. Even the ones that snuck in and didn't
pay, they're coming to be
fed. Like, yo, look, I need this
information. I ain't got no money. I'm trying
to make some. So I had to sneak in. That social
media minority, that worldwide
nigger net, them two or three people that just
won't stop posting. Oh, no, no, no.
I won't stop doing videos. It's a lot more
to two three. Well, whatever. It could be two, 300.
Yeah. You still had 30,000 at it.
attention to it.
You know what?
Like, it don't matter.
Like, that's the game.
I always tell people about the rule of ten.
I know.
The rule of ten is three people are going to like it.
Three people are not going to like it.
Four people don't even know what the hell going on.
Damn, that's what it is.
That's he said that.
He screams that all the time.
I know, but I was trying to act like I made it up.
I told somebody I was talking to my son and I just messed it all.
What you said to you in it made me?
God, I don't even remember.
But now he just jogging my memory like, dang, that's what it was.
It's the rule of my man, Cadillac Jack.
Drop with my man, Cadillac Jack.
He gave me that jewel 13, 14 years ago.
That's stuck with me, Mom.
Oh, damn, that's not even yours.
That's my man, he told me.
He called me in the office and he said,
you used to be the program director,
he said, you need to remember this especially.
The rule of tent.
Three people are going to like it.
Three people are not going to like it.
Four people don't even know what the hell is going on.
Okay, all right.
That's the reality of life.
You see what I'm saying?
Four people don't even know you.
If you're going to give a damn about what you're doing in life.
If you minus 0.5, that's only $2.5 a person anyway.
You're from Baltimore.
We don't need 0.5?
I messed it up so bad.
All right.
That is the latest, guys.
It's brought to you by Top Dog Law.
They have won over a billion dollars for their clients.

he changed up a lot.
I think he's doing, he's calling it

So he's changed his life out.
Shout out to Fabio.
Salute the Fabio.
Cool.
The verdict's still out.
Salute to Fabio.
I'm wishing him the best.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to get a man a chance.
No, no, I am.
But I feel like I just saw him talking crazy about a month ago.
And I feel like I feel like that.
I can't prove it.
It was a couple months ago.
Like you just said, you just got here.
You just thought, you know, he changed his life around.
He changed his life around.
He changed.
He changed.
He's changed. I'm seeing the change.
So I'm saying salute to that, bro.
I'm wishing him the best.
I pray for everybody's evolution.
I pray for everybody's growth.
I'm just saying.
I feel like I just saw him about a month or two ago getting in.
So it might still be early.
That's right.
Let's just see.
All right.
We got all eyes on Fabio, though.
All right.
I pray that he really is growing and above it.
I wish that for all my brothers and sisters.
