I've been half of the weekend with Whiplash. I got rear-ended on Friday. Wow, what was his name? Dude hit me from the back. Wow, what was his name? And by the way, that's why you got, I'm glad they passed these phone laws all over the country because there's no way if somebody is completely stopped in a yield because you know you got to wait for traffic.

There's no way to get rear-ended like that unless you're just not paying no attention whatsoever. Damn, did you get his name? Of course! How bad was it? It wasn't that bad. I mean it wasn't bad for me, his car. Because you're used to it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess. I can take it from the back. But yeah, it wasn't that bad for me. I never felt whiplash before, so I had that for like 36 hours. Oh wow. That's because you didn't know what that was. Yeah, yeah guess yeah, I can take it from the back. I know yeah, it wasn't that bad for me I bet it just I'd never felt whiplash before so I had that for like 36 hours. Oh wow

That's what I think it was too. Yeah, you got a hospital damn right. I went to the hospital Not right after that though, did you not right after yeah, but I went later because I guess the adrenaline stuff What didn't have me feeling no pain, but then later on that day? I started feeling pain So I went to the hospital Later how big was it? His car he had like a Nissan something one of them little Nissan. I was so small. Okay. You used to bigger Cuz you know the thing about getting here from the back You know I'm saying you at least want to be able to take a breath and be prepared for it. Mm-hmm

You know, you can't just let somebody do it. When they hit you, was you like, ahhhh! I was on the phone actually and the person heard it. Oh my god! Yeah, and the person was like, what was that loud bang? You by yourself hopefully. Yeah, thank god. Absolutely. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Sherri Shepherd will be joining us this morning.

She's in the new Netflix film, Straw, so we'll be kicking with Sherri Shepherd. The number one film on Netflix, Taraji was here Friday, you know that's a Tyler Perry film, she was here Friday talking about it, and it's been number one on Netflix all weekend. It's really good y'all, so y'all should watch it if y'all get a chance. Alright, and then Lauren London is broadcasting live from LA. Lauren London? I said Lauren London, Lauren LaRosa. Lauren LaRosa is broadcasting live from LA, that's right, from the BET Awards,

so we'll be kicking it in with her in a little bit. But let's get the show cracking. Front page news is next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Now last night, OKC beat the Pacers 123 to 107. The series is tied 1-1. The next game, I I believe is on Tuesday. As I keep telling y'all, Tyrese Halliburton got to do more. If y'all gonna be having these conversations about him being the face of the league and all this other stuff, you gotta do more. You can't have five points after three quarters, bro. Well, good morning Morgan!

Good morning, good morning. Happy Monday. Well, I want to believe that it's a happy Monday, but there is a lot going on first on front page. Our National Guard troops are on the ground in Los Angeles, California, following anti ice protest. Now, President Trump deployed 2000 members of the California National Guard in a sharp and a move sharply criticized as inflammatory and unnecessary by both California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass. Now over the weekend, Trump said he's ready to enforce law and order as anti-ice protests continue. The president spoke briefly on his way to Camp David on Sunday as he was boarding Air Force One. We saw him trip, right? But saying that he will hold protesters accountable. Let's take a listen to that audio if you can.

Again, it's at the airport. If we see danger to our country and to our citizens, we'll be very, very strong in terms of law and order. It's about law and order. We've got violent people, and we're not going to let them get away with it. So California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the move again, calling it purposefully inflammatory. LA Mayor Karen Bass says the situation in Los Angeles is about an agenda.

Now she made those comments also on Sunday on the third day of the protest. Let's take a listen to her comments. But we need to be real about this. This is about another agenda. It's not about public safety. There's clearly no plan and there is clearly no policy. When you raid Home Depot and workplaces, when you tear parents and children apart, and when you run armored caravans through our streets, you cause fear and you cause panic.

I'll tell you one thing, Trump really wasted no time doing the worst of everything folks thought he would. Like, you can't put the military on protesters. Did I miss something? Were they not being peaceful? Because I didn't hear about any ruckus or violence until the National Guard showed up. I did see one video, I guess it was a protestor throwing rocks or bricks at cars as I guess they were agents when they were driving by. Did you see that video Morgan? Yeah. Yeah.

And I also saw- Did that call for the National Guard? You know, it got, yeah, it got very volatile over there. But to your point, I mean, but this isn't the first time he's done this. He did this, you know, back in 2020 following the death of George Floyd and the protests that happened here in Washington, D.C. So he's no stranger to calling his own military, his own, the National Guard in for protesters, as you said, peaceful protesters at that.

So but yeah, Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary Christie Noem basically said that the National Guard was brought in for public safety. So that's what they essentially said it was for. But I'm not gonna get too much into that. We can continue the conversation at 7am. You guys, there's so much more to talk about. It is amazing to me that all of that is happening in LA right now and folks are just out there for the BET Awards like life is normal.

Like things are just normal. Like the backdrop of LA is in the National Guard being, you know, sick on protesters. No, for real. Alright, well that is Front Page News. We'll see you next hour, Morgan. Indeed. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Let us know how your weekend was, what you did again. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Ray Ray Ray. Yo, Charlamagne.

It's Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell her, tell her! She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on you.

The latest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Good morning, y'all.

Good morning. Live from LA, it's LA Cool Bay. Lauren La Rosa. Yes, it's early here. It's early over here, but let's go into the BET Awards because they're happening tonight and that is why I'm in LA. We've been doing the media room for the last 48 hours. So we've been talking to-

How you feeling about it? She been outside, you can tell from her voice, she been out. Yeah. Y'all, I've never talked to this much people in my life. Like by the end of day two, I was like low key delirious. I was like, y'all, can we just- I know you ain't complaining about talking.

That's right up your alley. I swear, I swear. Lauren get the running mouth all day. I swear to God, y'all. I was like, honestly, I wish somebody was here to tell me shut up. Jess, where were you? No, no, no, no. But it was good though. Like BT, it's been really good. The second day of the radio room, we talked to a lot of media when we talked to a lot of different people. First day was good as well too. The second day was my favorite. But let's get on into some clips because we talked to a

ton of people. First up, Jermaine Dupree. We talked to him about 106 and Park in the creation or not of 106 and Park because they are celebrating 25 years at the BET Awards tonight. It is now 2025 and people have the conversation about 106 and Park because of what it meant to us in our homes. Did you know when you presented that idea that 25 years later we would be talking and holding it the way that we did? No, cuz you create and when I said another word show another word season for you are a part of so many big iconic moments Yeah, but this probably I mean for me and so so that this is probably one of the biggest because I said now I came out in 2000 2000 if I'm not here I came out in 2000

So this was like this was the birth of bow out and you know the life of him His whole life was seen and raised on you know be see B team 106 apart y'all watched him actually grow up from 11 years old to the age he is now You know something tells me that tonight on that BET stage whoever really created 106 and Park will get the credit for creating 106 and Park and I don't think it's gonna be Jermaine. Yeah, Bawa actually posted when these clips was going viral remember when Jermaine Debris was having this conversation before and people was like pissed off that he said that. Bawa had actually

tweeted and said JD ain't create 106 and Park stop the cap. Steven Hill, Rick Grimes and all the great people in the BET office and staff created that show. All I did was capitalize off of what they created and made it mine. I would know I am Mr. 106. I would never take away from someone's creativity. So the story for people that don't know is Jermaine Dupree said he sent the idea to Stephen Hill. Correct? Yes. And that was created. Yes. And even after Bowie came out with this tweet, Jermaine Dupree had then came back out again and basically said that what he meant was he,

in conversation, helped to formulate what we became. Yeah, the idea of 106 and Park and then Bow Wow entered the show years later because people were pushing back on it, but yes. We'll find out the name. We will. Because that tribute tonight on the BET awards, it's going to be like a whole thing. Performances, they're going to bring the different renditions of 106 and Park, including Bow Wow, AJ, Free, all of these people.

So we'll definitely see who created it and we'll get to relive the, some of the iconic moments from the show. Yeah, it's gonna be fire. Now another conversation I had during, you know, my experience here. I sat down and talked to Tamar about the Big Bad Cadillac. Hey, Lani. Well, not my baby. What'd she say? The comments that she made about Lani Love. Let's take a listen. We ain't got that. Okay. Well, you got all our staff out there. Everybody out there. All our staff is with you in LA. So what are we supposed to have here?

In the meantime, we can go to Jim Jones because y'all know Jim Jones, friend of the room, right? Jim literally in the radio room was making rounds and someone texted me and said, yo, Ciara just pulled up on Jim Jones. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast, Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives.

You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly,

I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception, lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Over the past six years

of making my true crime podcast, Hell and Gone, I've learned one thing. No town is too small for murder. I'm Catherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders. I was calling about the murder of my husband

at the cold case. I've never found her and it haunts me to this day. The murderer is still out there. Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking.

Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother, she was still somebody's daughter, she was still somebody's sister. There's so many questions that we've never gotten any kind of answers for. If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.

Listen to Hell and Gone Murder Line on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Rannella.

I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes.

But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

Like y'all have like live life in every capacity anyone can live in. You live in like, you already done it. Let's just seal it properly. Seal it properly because you know what?

He deserves it, he deserves it. Why not? Like I look at y'all and I'm like, they're so beautiful, you're so fly. Chrissy is so beautiful and so dope. And she holds you down, like down, down, down. Like this is a spirit talking through me right now. I'm just saying, like I just, I saw you and I got excited

because I love you, you are making music excited because I love him To me to music and what you meant to me coming up And also when I see y'all like from a love perspective Y'all like so many people this time I think that was the internet talking through sierra not no spirit Because that's a huge assumption on her part like what if jim and chrisie don't want to be married They already got that understanding like yeah, so let me get this straight That's a huge assumption on her part like what if Jim and Chrissy don't want to be married So let me get this straight they were interviewing Jim Jones and Sierra's walking by seen him and just hopped on

Yes, so they were interviewing Jones and that is exactly what happened Sierra saw the interview and decided decided to come on in and actually in the beginning of the interview if you watch the full clip She says y'all I know I'm coming in hot but basically like she felt like she needed to get that off her chest and she did. Jim didn't respond? Jim didn't say nothing. He responded. No, he did respond in the interview, but he was very respectful with it. He just basically told her like, you know, I appreciate what you're saying. And now let me give you your flowers. But more directly, when I spoke to Jim Jones, I asked him about the moment and you know, he talked about his response so

sick listen to Jim Jones talking to me now Jim I got word over here that Sierra ran down on you yeah she did Wow how was that I mean I felt I felt like I got scolded by somebody that was younger than me now it was good though it was a great piece of advice honestly um I needed that encouragement I needed to hear that especially for somebody who's active in preaching what she's teaching. You know what I mean? Like a lot of people have so many different opinions and they know we're near. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Leverage or any type of great relationship or any position to give me any type of advice on what I should be doing in my situation. And my situation has been going better than a lot of things that have been going on out here so and I ain't pointing no fingers I'm just comfortable in what I'm doing. Like he said when Chrissy proposed he said I'm with you, you mean? And he's still with you so it's alright you know maybe maybe they don't want marriage maybe Chrissy don't want that no more maybe. Well I did try

to push him on like okay so do we have a date now and let's take a listen to what he said we gonna get an invite to a wedding yeah everybody get in but I'm with you yeah do you remember the year Chry proposed envy? I remember that was like 2011 2012 2011 That's a long time ago I feel like if they was gonna have a date by now that they wanted to publicly put out there He would have at least known how to throw me a time range. So either they don't want to Know me I think honestly I feel like with them

Maybe it's something that they just don't want us to know or something like what if they're already done this? You would know because I'm sure you did your Google and I'm sure you went to court. It will be public knowledge. Well, in New York, it's a little bit difficult, but we'll see. She tried. See, I know. No, I did not. Not to know. Not here. Not while I'm trying to get the rest to come on here and talk to y'all. But anyway, we don't have time for another clip. So I'm going to remind you guys and then maybe we'll not maybe we'll bring this back in the next hour because I do want you to hear what Tamar had to say to Lonnie Love after she

made those comments, but about the big back Cadillac. But tonight, Monday, June 9th, the BET Awards go down at 8pm Eastern Standard Time. Kevin Hart is going to be hosting. We talked about the 106th and Park tribute that's going to go down, but also like Lil Wayne's performing, Teyana Taylor, Glorilla, Leon Thomas, Playboy Cardi and a whole lot of other people. And I'll be backstage actually at the awards doing some content. So we'll, we'll get some of that as well too. Okay, alright Lauren be safe out there. Wait, I'm not going nowhere. You can be back next hour, I'm just saying just be safe out there, we'll see you next

hour alright. I was gonna say I get to go sleep but like. No, no, no. Everybody else we got front page news and then Sherry Shepherd will be joining us so don't go anywhere it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Naga, we are The breakfast club. Let's get back in some front page news Now yesterday was game two of the NBA finals. OkC beat the paces 123 to 107

Does Indiana win another game? I don't think so When okc is locked in like it's like night and day they not even on the same planet as the paces But it's really up to the OKC and their focus. Yeah, I don't think so, but we'll see what happens. What up, Morgan? Hey, y'all. Hey. So the conversation on ICE raids and immigration continues. Former Vice President Kamala Harris says she is appalled by what is taking place in Los Angeles, California, saying the Trump administration's actions are about stoking fear and not about public safety. In case you missed it, there has been ice protests in Los Angeles that have been erupting over the weekend.

And Harrison in a social media statement that deploying the National Guard was a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. She went on to add that along with recent ice raids in Southern California and nationwide, the move is part of the Trump administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. But as of right now, so downtown Los Angeles has been declared an unlawful assembly with police ordering

anti-ICE protesters to leave the area immediately as of late yesterday evening. So of course I will keep you updated on that. Switching gears and we'll still on the topic of immigration. There's even been reports of TikTok star, Kaby Lamay, you know, the guy who's most known for not saying a word in his video and he tends to do hand gestures like like that. Well, he's an Italian national by way of Senegal and he's actually been deported after overstaying his visa. So damn. Yeah. But you know what man?

When they when they say cases like that, you know people get outraged but it's like he did overstay his visa So if you know that you're dealing with an administration that is super strict on that type of stuff You got to be on top of that type of business I'm sorry. I'd like driving with a suspended license knowing your license suspended Oh, you know your passport to buy something you you that's up. That's up driving with a suspended license, knowing your license is suspended, or your passport's expired, something. That's up to you to fix. And then when you get pulled over, you're like, oh man, what do I do?

That's up to you to fix. I mean, it sucks, but you gotta stay on top of your business. There are rules. Speaking of staying on top of the business of immigration, the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador and became a flashpoint of President Trump's immigration policy is back in the United States to face criminal charges. A US attorney General Pam Bondi says Kilmar Abrego-Garcia will be charged with human trafficking. Let's take a listen to

her comments. The grand jury found that over the past nine years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring. Thousands of illegal aliens were smuggled. This is especially disturbing because Abrego Garcia is also alleged with transporting minor children. Yeah, so Abrego Garcia was sent to prison in El Salvador from Maryland on what the Trump administration originally said was an administrative error, but later said he was a member of the MS-13 gang.

Now Bondi said Abrego Garcia made over 100 human smuggling trips into the US and will be returned to El Salvador once he's found guilty. Now Abrego Garcia, of course, he was a rallying point for Democrats opposed to Trump's illegal immigration crackdown saying he was deported without due process. And it does appear that now he's getting that so-called due process. Yeah, you know, what's interesting is how all weekend that's been like a C or D story, but there was a time it was an A story. But now that he's back going through due process, the conversation doesn't seem as loud. Why do we think that is? Because they hit him with the human driving controllers and so now everybody that was...

It's like they found something. So it's like, I don't know. So is everybody taking a step back like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute now. Well, not me, you know, I'ma definitely keep you, like I said, I'ma keep you posted, but I'm not sure why it doesn't, I mean, maybe the bigger story right now is the protest

and addressing that. But the sad part about it is it is the protests, you know, and addressing that. But the sad part about it is it's all relative. You know, it's like it's all related. It's all of these stories are connected in the topic of immigration. So but we can switch gears on that and talk about this upcoming military parade that's happening here in Washington, D.C. So the army is preparing for the largest military parade in Washington, D.C. that has had that D. that DC has seen in decades. In an event President Trump has been pushing since his first term in office. This will mark

the Army's 250th birthday and also President Trump's birthday as well and Flag Day. Let's take a listen to President Trump talk about this upcoming military parade on Saturday. I am thrilled to invite everyone to an unforgettable celebration, one like you've never seen before. On Saturday, June 14th, which is Flag Day, we are honoring the 250th anniversary of the greatest fighting force in history, the United States Army. For two and a half centuries, the men and women of America's Army have dominated our enemies and protected our freedom at home.

So the celebration is expected to bring seven million pounds of hardware and this week road and reinforcement has been underway in DC to protect the sum of DC's infrastructure during the event. We do expect that there will be some damage, which I believe what I'm not sure if it's the National Guard or someone agreed to pay for it. Nearly 7000 soldiers are set to participate in the parade will take place on June 14th with dozens of tanks, fighting vehicles, how it serves and arts other artillery, artillery pieces, just on aful spending, wasteful spending. How much is that parade gonna cost?

Now that's wasteful spending. Millions and millions. But you know, it's kind of a stark contrast from the fact that we just had Pride Weekend this past weekend and now this upcoming weekend, we can anticipate having this military parade in DC. And if we got time for one more, I think we can have a, provide an, I want to provide

you guys with an update regarding this Elon Musk and Trump beef. So apparently President Trump is threatening serious consequences if tech billionaire Elon Musk begins funding Democrats. So he made those comments in an interview with NBC News, amid a public feud, of course, with Musk that took place over the last few weeks. Now Trump said Musk will pay the price if he funds democratic candidates to challenge republicans to who support the g o p's uh... big so-called big beautiful bill

and the president did not specify what those consequences would be but he did go on to say that he doesn't have any intention of speaking with must uh... and he assumes his relationship with the billionaire is officially over. You know back in February on my Brian Itis podcast, you know I was saying how you know Donald Trump and Elon Musk, it's inevitable for them to have this type of falling out. But there's something in there that I told people I would un-bleep when it happens. I said what I think is gonna happen and then I bleeped it on purpose. Boy are we getting closer to me un-bleeping it.

Really? You just wait. Damn. You just wait. He said you called it the prophetess. You'll see when I un-bleep it. I see it coming. Alright, oh pause.

Of course, the new Netflix film straw is out right now. And we're going to kick it with Sherri Shepherd. When we come back is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Jess, Hilarious,

Charlamagne, the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa is here, and we got a special guest in the building, we have Sherri Shepherd, welcome back. Hey y'all, I'm so glad to be here, Lauren. Hi. My admiration for you, it's like my baby hair is growing, it just grows every day for you. Girl.

Well you follow me back on Instagram, I cry. Oh, are you serious? Not like ugly cry, but I was just, I called John and I was like, she just followed me back on Instagram, like, oh my are you serious? Not like ugly cry, but I called John and I was like, she just followed me back on Instagram, like oh my God. I really do admire you, you like an intelligent sister and you boss mode. I love that. Thank you.

Like little brown girls look at you and go I wanna be like you. Somebody just told her that. Yeah, somebody just told her that. Oh for real? Like literally three minutes ago. Well God is trying to tell you something. I hear him. You better receive tell you something. I hear him.

You better receive it then. But I hear him. Why nobody ever do that to me? I never get confirmation. I was on my way. I never get confirmation like that. I was on my way to tell you. Okay.

For me, I remember your, not the transition, but when you first stepped into the role on the show. Right. And it was a lot going on and a lot being said, but you handled it really gracefully. What show now? When she, the show. The show.

The show. You said, what the fuck is going on? You said,. You said, look at you. What you want from me? When it went from the Wendy Show to the Sherri Shepherd Show. You have your own supportive view, but there was a lot of conversation that was happening. But the way that you handled it, I thought was you handled it very well. Thank you. You know, this season, life is too short. You got to know what energy you walking in and create your own energy.

That's how it works. And it worked out. Where in your life did you learn that? Because it was loud. Yeah, but I think from being on The View, that's why I learned how to get the criticism. Because I learned, you know, Joy Behar said, when you open, you know, when you have this kind of platform, when you open up your mouth, half the world is going to hate you. So, you know, so you stop trying to chase validation because I would go on this site, it was a site called I Hate Talkshows and I would go in there to see what they said about me and

then they would say, oh, Sherri's doing this, she didn't even mention this. So I would mention it the next time and they go, did you see how conceited she was when she mentioned this? You can't win. So I don't pay attention. Who told you to stop reading the comments? I know somebody had to pull you to the side. Whoopi. Whoopi's like stop reading all that stuff, you can't win. No. So I don't pay attention. Who told you to stop reading the comments? I know somebody had to pull you to stop.

Whoopi. Whoopi's like, stop reading all that stuff. They don't care about you. So I stopped. But what I realized is nobody's sending me money to take care of my son. Nobody is offering to help me when I'm going through it. You got your diehards that'll pray for you. So why am I listening to all this?

This is chatter from people who probably, when they come at you on social media, they want to do what you're doing. They just don't want to put in that work. That's what Kevin Hart says and it's so true Where have you heard that from? I'm the same way. I'm like, yo, stop reading the comments. Like, why? Don't. Oh, you read the comments? No, no. I don't go looking for the comments.

But no, I don't. No, I do not. But every now and then, they just want to see what people. But I also, like, for what I do, I have to kind of know what people are talking about, why, what are the angles, what are the care, how we dive in, and what I'm talking about. Yeah, you read them. But it's hard now.

You just have to be discerning, because I read my comments, because sometimes people are very, they have really good critiques. Some people are commenting, Shira, you talk a mile a minute, I can't understand what you're saying. Me too.

So I learned to slow down. Yes. Then those people who go, you ain't cute, you ain't got no hips, you ain't got no, or you gonna, you know, I don't pay attention to that, because you look at it for what it is, you gotta have your own self worth.

So you do, it's just discern what is edifying, what is going to help you, the other stuff you throw out, it means nothing. Even your topics on your show, because that was another thing as well too, like people were upset when you talked about Meg Thee Stallion on the carpet and her being nude or whatever you called her, right?

And people respond to that. And when that happens, you're not changing. For that, when I said that about Meg, I was ready for the backlash. But I'm a mother, I'm a woman, I mentor girls, and I just go, at some point we have a responsibility, we have to speak up. And I love Meg Thee Stallion, I love it.

But I think that women are going too far. And sometimes we forget that there are people who are watching us and they can't do what we do. They don't have security. They can't walk around and say, I want to do the same thing. So we also, we are our brother's keeper to whom much is given, much is required. So I knew I was going to backlash. They told me, you know, you're going to get, and you gonna get and I said but no I got to stand up

I got this platform and it's really important that I say it and it you if you listen to the context of what I said People look at you because you have a degree you went and graduated You didn't just let it go so you inspire girls to want to go to college But also over here you inspire girls want to do this and I named other women who do it, too So I got this platform for a reason and I know what it is and I try to use it wisely No, so you can't so being a grown people should listen to the elders. What happened to that? We used to listen Actually, like I know you're intentional with the topics that you choose but when you get push backs like, oh this is an age thing, it's because you're

older, she don't understand, she act like she didn't have her day, those type of things. I have a lot of grace. I know there were things that we did when we were young and I do but also you know what the assignment is. There's an assignment on your life, there's an assignment that you've been given and you got to carry it out. And it's just stuff that comes with this Position that you're in it is gonna come you can't escape it

When you came in there today, you said your son just texted you and said mom I have all for school today and I have nothing to do. That's right, and he's 20 years old. Yes Get to what she really said but then you said that your son also said he wants to smoke, he wants to smoke some marijuana, some cannabis. Yes, because that's what everybody talks about at school. You know, they talk about that. And so he, that's one of his things. He came, I was doing my podcast with Ken Whitley, two funny mamas, and he came, he was like,

I want to talk to you. And that's what he was going to the basketball center. And he said, you know, when can I get high? First of all, it's amazing that he came to you and feel comfortable to tell you. I love that he comes to me. That's amazing. Yeah.

And what did you tell him? But he comes to me and I don't know nothing. Like, that's the problem. And he was just like, I'm a single mom. And he was like, you know, I want to, when can I do this? And I was sitting here praying and speaking in tongues. And I said, when you 24.

Why 24? He asked me that when he was like 19 or 18. Why 24? That's just the number that came to my head, Envy. I'm a single mother. It's too much. I still look at my son as like my baby, a 14 year old. So when he came and That's just the number that came to my head. The person who does my hair, Theo, he has locs in his hair. So when my son saw him, he immediately said, do you get high? Stereotyping.

Profile. But here's what happened. Theo looked at him and was like, yeah. So I said, well, I wanted to have the experience of I said well maybe if they put the the medicine to make you go to the bathroom the diarrhea medicine in the brownie that way when he does it he'll you know just have diarrhea and you won't want to do it again. That's what everybody say like you give them so much liquor that they get sick. No give him him some sativa, some high-grade sativa. And what is that? The kind that induces panic attacks and makes him so paranoid.

I don't want him to have panic attacks. What's wrong with you? That will make him not want to do it again. Not to diarrhea. Then I gotta go to sleep wanting my son gonna smother me. And I don't want him to have a panic, I just want him to diarrhea. Don't do that. No, not to diarrhea. He'll think he'll fly, you'll see him on Madison Avenue trying to fly over cars or something. Don't do that. The panic attack is what's gonna make him not want to do it. I promise you.

Okay, panic attack. I wouldn't do that one. Yes. You had Envy saying no, Lawrence saying no. When did you first get high? I don't think you should do it. When I first got high, I think I was like 18, 17. So why you gotta wait till 24?

Because that's the, look, I am a single mom. This is hard. You don't understand. I'm not a man. This is where I get mad when I go, I need some men to come in and help me. Because I don't know what to say to him. I don't get high. So when he came to me and was saying that, I was just like, I didn't know what to say. The judgment, I don't like Charlamagne. That's what I was telling you. Well, when he's 24, me and Uncle Charlo take him to Atlanta Strip Club, Magic City. Well, thanks a lot. Oh, my gosh.

We'll handle that part. I'ma just say, can y'all let him intern with y'all and then do what you will. I won't even look. I'll just close my eyes. I bet you would never say that in Bad Boy Records. Oh! My the... Wow!

Take that, take that. Wowzer! I think that was a good one, it was real quick too. Wowzer! Does anybody have my subpoena papers ready? I'm taking this to court. Oh my God. So we're still kicking it with Sherri Shepherd.

Lauren. What things do you deal with on your own with your son that you're like, man? All of that trying to teach him how to be a man. I don't know how to be a man because I'm not a man. I'm not, I don't espouse that belief of, you know, I can be everything for you. You don't need no daddy. You don't know, you need a man in your life. A boy needs a man, especially in this day and age.

A young black boy needs a black man. Because man, what they do to my son, because I'm not allowed to say his name, he told me don't talk about him. But what they do to my son is they say, look, look at me in the eye, shake my hand. You know, give me your deepest voice when you talk to me. I don they do to my son is they say, look, look at me in the eye, shake my hand, you know, give me your deepest voice when you talk to me. I don't know how to say

that. What he gets from me now is he's like, you always like you keep nagging, because I feel like I only got maybe 12 minutes to give him the rest of life's lessons. And he's like, you told me already. And so I think with mothers and boys as they get older, there's a frustration. That's why they keep wanting to pull away. They they're they're longing from that male energy. So when he's around, when he's around my glam team, he likes being with them because they're just men.

Are you dating? I'm single. So I'm just I'm out here. I'm open, open. I know your DMs crazy. And the way I do what you do, I never go on my DMs. I don't I really don't go on my DMs cuz the last time it was somebody didn't have no finger So it was missing a third digit. So I don't Let me tell you why not something that's a deal breaker when you missing digits, I need I need you to have a finger How you know he had no fingers because he wasn't it I went to his uh, I went to his profile

Yeah, and I looked and he had no finger. So which finger though. He was a third finger Not that you you don't know though? It was the third finger. Not that you, you don't know if you really need your third finger till you ain't got your third finger. What if this man was good looking, had a nice career, was a great man, he was gonna be the love of your life, it's cause you don't got a finger?

You don't have a finger. That's a big deal, not having a finger, cause you need all 10 of your fingers. I'm just saying. I'm happy I got a mind. If you wanna caress my neck and you ain't got that finger, I have a finger, because you need all ten of your fingers. Do you? I'm just saying. I'm happy I got mine. If you want to caress my neck and you ain't got that finger, I feel emptiness. That's only on one hand though, right?

You know what? Once I saw the finger was missing, Lauren, I just didn't stay. That was God testing you. That was God testing you. But it does, that you get, in this season, it's different now. Now I'm not looking at potential. When I was in my 20s, it was about, oh, he got potential. I don't look at potential. You have to be living in your dream. It has to be your reality. You have to be a certain financial and a financial

place because I'm not here trying to help you move forward. So it just changes. If I bring you into my space, you can't be intimidated. You can't be like looking at it around going, well, there ain't nothing I can do. So it just changes a little bit. So how was shooting Straw? I know you loved it. Four days shooting it right back in. No, no, I didn't shoot.

I was six days. Oh, you were six days. You were six days. Taraji was four. You were six. Taraji was four. You were six. Taraji was four. She was doing Fight Night at the same time. And Tiana was also doing a movie at the same time.

I was the only one that had time. So mine was six days. I had a ball. It was a different experience stepping into the Tyler Perry world. Break it down. Because I'm used to doing a movie and it'll take weeks to do. You know, I'm on location for a number of weeks. So even when Tyler had asked me and I wasn't available, I said, well, I'm trying to work

it out. How many weeks do you need me? He said, I don't need you for, I need you for five days. And I had never heard that before because it was when I was one of the stars of the movie. But with Tyler, he's got a world that he lives in. He's real, he knows what he wants. He has a lot of cameras covering you.

So when you go to a movie, they do a master shot. You know, you go back and you wait till they turn it around and do a single shot. Then they gotta turn those cameras around and do the other shot. Then they gotta get a wide shot. Then they gotta get a close up. And you're doing maybe three pages in a whole

day. Tyler does not do that. He has a ton of cameras in and they're catching shots. So when I'm looking at the movie, they caught shots of me. I didn't even realize because it was so many cameras. So he can do 10 or 12 pages in a day, but he knows what he wants and he gets it done. And Tyler's a man of his word because I remember y'all, this had to be like maybe four or five months ago, you was asking him to put you in, I don't know if it was a specific movie

or was it why did I get married? I just remember you asking him to be in something. Yeah, I asked everybody who comes if they could put me on something. He really put you in it? Yeah, and he put me in the movie. He called me, he said, I have this part and I want you to do it. And it conflicted with the talk show. You can't really take off. But they moved it around. I said, I don't care who sits in my s*** in the chair. I need to do it and it conflicted with the talk show you can't really take off but they moved it around.

I said I don't care who sits in my in the chair I need to do this movie and they we ended my show a week early so I could go and do it. But when I when I tell you let me tell you something about Tyler Perry he takes care of you. Now everybody talks about the money he pays you yes but in terms of I walked into my trailer you have to negotiate your trailer size from the front. Everything is negotiation And I always negotiate, you know, I get the one less of what the star gets So I get a big trailer, but he I walked in my trailer and I said is Brad Pitt doing the movie, too Wow, I walked in my trailer. It was a double staircase. I had a kitchen. I had an office I had I had a whole a full kitchen where I tried to I was like if I could take this refrigerator

It was a full-size refrigerator. It was a bedroom. It was a walk-in closet It was I had a living room a family room recline. I was like I cried. I've never Had in my wildest dreams. I never imagined something like that. You know, where he put me up at, where I stayed at night, it was just, it was unbelievable. It was unbelievable. He's a great human. Yeah, definitely a great human. When I tell you, I mean, even on my show, he came and we did a giveaway show where Tyler

Perry came in and he just gave stuff away. He paid the mortgage off for one of our guests. He gave a colleague of mine who's a comic who had a stroke, Bone Hampton. He was a Christian comic. Now he's in a wheelchair. He gave him a hundred thousand dollars so he could figure out, so he had a cushion to figure out what he wanted to do. I mean, he gave, he just gave away, it was really wonderful what he did. He did that publicly, the $100,000? Yes, we did it on my show.

Okay, okay, okay. Why, you think you need a $100,000 show on that? No, I just wouldn't want nobody to know that, because then everybody be asking you for $100,000. They really do. They really do, yeah. That's the downside. But the beauty about Tyler, he had no problem saying no.

He says no. That's right. Because when I had to pitch it to him, I would say to him, we had this, and he'd go, tell me what you're talking about. No, like when you come to Tyler, it has to be very specific, it has to be very well thought out,

and you have to have research. Because he says, okay, so if I do this, then what about this? How are they gonna pay this? And I said, I don't know, I'm just coming to you asking for the money. I don't know, I'll let you go. Well, when you know it, then you call me back.

Wow. So you have to be on your business. Can you speak about that real quick, Sherry? come to you asking for the money. I don't know, I'll let you go. Well, when you know it, then you call me back. So you have to be on your business. Can you speak about that real quick, Sherry? How important is it to actually say what it is you mean? Because we live in a generation where these kids be like, well, you know what I meant to say. Yeah. I'm the, you know what I meant to say.

I think that we're in the age of communicating. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all, his wife Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair,

that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew.

No town is too small for murder. I'm Katherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders. I was calling about the murder of my husband. It's a cold case. I've never found her. And it haunts me to this day. The murderer is still out there. Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case,

bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking. Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother, she was still somebody's daughter, she was still somebody's sister. There's so many questions

that we've never gotten any kind of answers for. If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. Listen to Hell and Gone Murder Line on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian

Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it seems like the ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your

gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Inc.

Patient is harder for because we're in the social media age where you swipe and swipe and so you putting in initials for, you know, laugh out loud, LOL. So you know, you're not saying what you mean. And I think it's a big problem.

I don't know how to fix it because I keep trying to talk to my nieces and nephews and say, tell me what you mean and I think it's a big problem. I don't know how to fix it because I keep trying to talk to my nieces and nephews and say, tell me what you're saying. Don't think I know what you're saying. I don't know if it's a life lesson that they have to go through because I had to go through to get it. Whoopi was very hard on me on the view. Tell me what you're saying. And I had to figure out and articulate. So that came. That was hard for me. What was that like having Whoopi be like, yo, tell me what you're saying? Oh, she was hard on me. Whoopi was very, very hard, but she loved me and she didn't want

to see me go through a lot of stuff, which has served me well doing, having my own show and dealing with criticism, being able to say no. I say what I mean on my show, but I'm grown, you know, I think that's why I got the success at this age, you know, because I know how to stand up for myself. I know how to say no, I know how to say yes, I know what I am bringing to the show and what I want to see. So it's, you know, sometimes you just have to go through life.

You gotta fall, you gotta learn to get back up, you gotta fall, you gotta learn to get back up. And I'm sure Whoopi saw the greatness in you. Like a lot of times people see things in you that you may not see in yourself. yourself sometimes. Yeah, maybe she did I would hope that yeah Yeah, I know we came a long way We came a long way from when you call me the Tasmanian devil. Mr. Charlamagne the god And I don't know if you heard earlier when you started talking about yourself

He was like damn as soon as you said I don't know if you heard it We know you still took a little shot at you earlier today What are you talking about exactly what is he talking about? I don't know but I'm with envy. That's right So we're still kicking it with Sherri Shepherd. Charlamagne did me along ever take you up on your conversation Come on your show. I guess that's who you was alluding to what they say I'm alluding to when they say she rolled up on you at the Old Tello. Oh, when I said her name's Celebrity. Rolled up on me. We exclusively reported that a source had told me

that it was Nia Long. Yes, did Nia Long take me up? Because I didn't say her name, but yes, it was Nia Long. You know, here's the thing. I don't know who Nia Long had me confused with, and what I appreciate, Lauren, this is why I love you, you did your research, you did your homework, and you pulled up a clip. The only time I've ever talked about Nia Long

is when she went through it with her partner who it was infidelity and I supported her in that she deserves to have a good man to be with her and you pulled up that clip. So thank you for that. You handled that very well. So I have no idea. I think Nia Long maybe confused me with someone. Not a lot of black women on TV. It's not, I have no idea who she thought was shading her, but it was not me.

I have no beef with Neal Long. I'm a fan of hers. We're grown women, we're both the same age, so like we can discuss it. That's why I invited her on my show. You know, and a lot of people say, well why would you say something like that publicly? Well number one, I never said her name.

There was a lot of women that attended the Othello premiere. And number two, I'm a stand-up comic, so everything that happens in my life is material for me. And my stage, my comedy stage, is the talk show. So I got on stage and I just talked about it. And I said, you know, it was a fun, it was, this happened. You wanted to know why I went to the bathroom because I said I went to the bathroom and had a meeting in the ladies room. That was actually a joke with, you know, because climax.

This is why I don't get with younger men. It was climax meeting in the ladies room. I'll be back. And she says, don't. She says, don't test me because I might slap you. Remember, you a DJ. God don't test me, cause I might slap you. Remember, you a DJ. God don't. And me, if anybody. And so I did, I said the joke,

Norman Baker, who's the head of Hot Topics, he was like, that's funny, everybody got it. And you over here go, I don't understand why she went to the bathroom, was waiting in the bathroom. You and Jess. So that's what that was, that was a joke. But yeah, but I don't have any beef I don't I don't like to tear down people but I honestly

Was was just confused and I also don't like when you when you touch me and you pull at me I don't like that. She grabbed you like grab me and spun me around and here's the thing I am a really nice person. That's a power button that many of them use. Yeah. You don't like when people do that. Oh, that's what you meant. No. Oh my God. I hate him.

Go ahead. I'm sorry. You know, you said, you, you, Shailamay. He never turns it off, by the way. Never. I don't know how. No, but now I can't unsee it. This is why I tell women, stop getting with stand-up comics, because you gotta sit in bed

and they go over the same joke and punchline over and over, and you gotta hear that all night long. Charlamagne, your wife, God bless her, Lord open up doors for her, bless her, just bless her father, God. It could be your darkest moment, you could be crying. He's not gonna be sympathetic.

No, not at all. I am sympathetic, I just wanted to bring some joy. That's a lie. No, but it's like, but when people, when people tug at you, when they want to pick you, they tug at you, it's like, so I'm still, I think people, I'm so nice, but you can't confuse that. I'm a Chicago girl. So when that happens, I, you know, then I go there, but we're, you know, I'm cool. I'm, I'm so cool. It's done. If, if Neilon would love to come on my show, I would love, I'm a fan. We're both actresses. I would love to come on my show, I would love. I'm a fan. We're both actresses. I would love to talk to her and just clear it up. That's such a,

that's why these beefs that come on social media, like it's easily cleared up. So I would love to talk to her. And it's young girl behavior. Like I wonder, cause she's been around for so long. What could she think you said that would cause her to grab you? I don't think it's young girl behavior, Shailamane. Sometimes you don't see a person. Sometimes these things fester. This is what Whoopi told me, and this is why I'm very nice on my talk show.

She said, we're about to do a story. I wanted to do a story on The View about a certain rapper. The baby mama was asking for more money, then something happened bad. And I wanted to blame it on this, this rapper. And I said, I want to talk about this. And whoopie said, we're not going to talk about it. And I said, no, no, no, we, we got this platform and I'm going to let people know. And she said, no. So Barbara Walters said, if whoopie's not going to talk about it, we're not

going to talk about it. And I went into whoopie's room and I said, why, why would you kill this story? It's very interesting. Everybody knows the rapper. And she said, let me tell you something, Sherri. She said, celebrities have long memories. You know this. Y'all know this. They have long memories. You have a career beyond this show. And she said, and what will happen is you might go to a club and encounter this rapper. You're black women. We'd at least protect it. And if they get mad at you and want to do something, ain't nobody gonna do nothing. Now, Elizabeth Hasselbeck goes to the club because she didn't say something and he does anything. Everybody

gonna be calling the police. He ain't even gonna do nothing to. Won't even do nothing to. She said, you always have to keep that in mind. And she said, and you want to work beyond this show because you're not going to be here for long. You're going to be working. And celebrities have very long memories, and you're in the business, and your career is important. And I just always remember that. And I'm a kind person, so when I come at stories, Lauren, I always go, is it edifying? I would rather you be laughing with me going,

that girl is talking about me today. That is so funny what she said. They never like it. Rather than, I'm too old to be in a club and somebody comes up to me and goes, my name is Thon Thon. I heard what you said and I'm not going to be having that. First of all, I'm 50. I don't even know who you are. I don't remember what I said. Wait, did she just slap me? I don't be fighting no more like that. So, know, it's like life is too short.

I want to put out good energy on my show. I want you to feel good. I want you to know that when you come to the show, it's a safe space. If you don't want to talk about something, there's a ton of other stuff we can talk about. If you want the shady stuff, it's a bunch of blogs you can go to. And I think that people even though they like that they turn on you quick. They turn on you quick when you're always giving out bad stuff and talking about people. I think I have more fans that will stick with me if

I go through something than not. So that's just the way I operate and it has worked. I feel like God is talking through you this morning. Did you just say that three minutes ago? No, he's just always talking to me. Oh. And I did. We've had a lot of conversations this week. And yesterday-

That, though, everything you just said has been the convos all week. Really? And yesterday, I literally was recording my podcast, the latest with Lauren LaRosa, before you came in here. And on my podcast, I was talking about how I talked to God yesterday and was like, look, I hear you. I get it. I know what I need to talked to God yesterday and was like, look, I hear you. I get it.

I know what I need to do to dial back and focus and whatever, whatever. And then you coming here, you're literally, it sounds better coming from you though. You look a lot better. You have been here preaching. I mean, you do not know how God has been talking through you this whole day. Oh, wow. But that went over there. Now, there is a generation of women watching your show who feel seen and heard.

So what do you want the Sherri Show to represent in this messy, meme driven media landscape? I want, I want the young Brown girls to look at me and say, it's possible. I can do that. You know, that's why representation matters. People keep saying, no, no, we all one. We are no, no, no. I saw Oprah Winfrey doing it and she looked like me We had the same kind of hair sans the wig we had the same kind of hair Her skin color it matters and so when little girls look at me and they come and see me and they call me auntie

I'm like yes, you can do this. There's a space for you. I want you to feel like there is a space I want you to I want you to come up to me and ask me for advice. I want you to get ready because it's there for the taking. So I think a lot of social media people, it comes at them so fast and when the crash comes, they're not able to rebound. So put in the work and it'll happen. Sherri Sherri, ladies and gentlemen. Make sure you check her out in straw today. Netflix. It's Sheppley. Oh my gosh. Make sure you check her out on Strawh today. Netflix.

It's the Breakfast Club Good Morning. Let's get right to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell her. Man it. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets into details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

She be having the latest on everything. She say I'm the biggest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. But what's the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me!

Alrighty guys, so a bit more from the BET media room that we did. I sat down and I talked to Tamar Braxton. She made some comments about Lonnie Love. Let's take a listen to her comments first on Nini Leakes show. I was asked to be on the real. And this was in the beginning of the process of them casting. I'm sure it was Tamar and the other girls, but I was asked to be one of the first girls when the show first originally started.

I had the contract and I ended up not doing the real and they end up casting Lonnie Love. I was on Real Housewives of Atlanta so I just did not do the real but Tamar ultimately did the real. I wish they would have told me. Really? Yeah. Wow. And creating the show that's why I'm saying I wish they would have told me that because I wouldn't have cast Big Bad Cadillac. I'm fitting your red leads. We probably be in our 10th season by now. Thanks. Ain't that dumb? Hey yo.

Well, I talked to her about that in the media room. Let's take a listen to Tamar on her Big Bad Cadillac comments. When I said, will there ever be any reconciliation, you said you won't say that. I won't say that. So you're open to a conversation with Loni Love. I am. I'm open to a conversation with Lani Love? I am.

I'm open to a conversation because I feel like now, first of all, I probably should say this out loud and in front of everybody. I apologize for calling her a big bad Cadillac. Not in any way did I want to shame her or, you know, I've held on to you know my composure all of this time and never said nothing you know bad you know and that was just really a vulnerable moment and I apologize Lonnie I really want to have a conversation that could lead to a reconcile. You're supposed to ask her Lauren what size Cadillac were you talking about did you mean a XT4, XT5, XT6 or an Escalade or was it an Escalade ESV?

No, that's a big one. What size Cadillac? That's the big one. The ESV? The ESV? Oh my goodness. You should have asked her what size Cadillac. I can't even get to the one question, like that question I asked her.

She said big back Cadillac. I literally was, I was trying not to laugh because it was just so funny. But look at the growth though. She apologized. She did. Yes. So she said big back at like I literally was I was trying not to laugh because it was just so funny Well, look at the girl though. She apologized. She did. Yes Yeah, I'm gonna stop people from yelling big back Cadillac when they see Lonnie in the street I understand now you got people calling every big back person big back What's funny is imagine that Cadillac escalator pull up with beside Lonnie and beep the horn But she did apologize. She did.

She did. She didn't be calling nobody no ride, yeah? That's what she did, she called her a ride, yeah? Wow. Honda Odyssey. Let's stay focused. Now, well, I do want to say too, Tamar mentioned, she wanted us to mention this, she has her new show on MTV called Calling the Act of Double Life about people living double lives.

That's coming on MTV Tuesday nights at 9pm, so she was like, make sure you plug that when y'all use this clip. So, Tamar, I got you, girl. Ain't that the same show Tammy was doing? Something like that? I think it's like a spinoff of it though, right? Yes. Another rendition of it.

Yep, it is. That's when Envy was on that show, and Wendy Williams had watched it and thought Envy was on the show and he was gay. He thought Envy had snuggled on his boyfriend. I promise you she thought that. That's when Envy was on that show and Wendy Williams had watched it and thought Envy was on the show and he was gay. He thought Envy had snuck up on his boyfriend. I promise you she thought that. He called me and was like, yeah, Wendy thought she was on the show and was like, you know, you're living a double life. I'm like, what are you talking about?

She thought she was gay. She thought she was creeping up on your boyfriend. Because you was helping Big Sexy get up off the floor. Yeah, if you watch the show Big Sexy's boyfriend was boyfriend was cheating on a big sexy had to die in his head I was running and I was trying to help the big brother out That's right. I saw envy on TV with the big gay guy and he goes why would you do that to me? I also too I got a chance to talk to Flage as well. LSU superstar. And we actually, we talked about Angel Reese.

Flage right? That's her name. Flage. Yep. She called her Fly J. Flage. Flage. But we talked about her relationship with Angel Reese because it's been in question.

Let's take a listen. For me, when I, when I met you, I also got to learn who Angel Reese was as well. You guys it seemed like you guys were so close. And I know recently she said that you guys are yeah, she said that she still supports you guys still support you but you guys aren't as close as you used to be. Are you friends still or? We're not friends. But I mean, like that bond and that we had and that that thing that we did together when the national championship, you can never take that away from us. And so sometimes stuff happens.

You wish it don't happen, but it do. You just gotta grow. But I mean, I support her in everything she do. She killing in the WNBA. I be on social media, you know what I'm saying, clowning the folks that we trying to talk about down on her. You know what I'm saying? I'm just proud of her.

You said you guys aren't friends. Is that because of some of the things that we've seen before with the conversations with your people? Yeah it was a lot of media, it was a lot of locker room stuff like you know I'm saying stuff that go on behind the scenes but it happens. I thought that was very unfortunate to hear that they're not actually friends anymore. They only played what one year with each other though right? Yeah but I just think they went? Yeah But we say together a lot

They were like they had each other's backs and you know, I mean like they were they seem like pretty close to me It's not a beef just that we just are they weren't close to me Yeah, I mean I know also too there was that the incident with the parents going back up for social media Yeah as well, but they got through that. But I just feel like they went through so much together because the noise was so loud around them and they were doing it together. So I think I would have loved to hear her say like, they're not maybe as close, but they still speak or they whatever.

We not friends sounds like I'm good. Yeah, they do different jobs. One's in the WNBA, one's still in college. They got different lives. They're not together all the time. You can be on the same team and not be friends. Like you go on the street, you's still in college, they got different lives. They're not together all the time anymore. You can be on the same team and not be friends. Like you go on the street, you go out there, you play on the court, you win games and you

go home and live your life. That's right. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, a hundred percent. Because both of them are saying we still support each other. So to your point, y'all are right. Now we also talked to Johnny Venus, formerly. Well, he is still of Earthgang, but he's doing his own solo thing real quick.

He announced something that is coming. Let's take a listen with the clips. Hey, you guys are going on tour. Yes, we're going on tour with T-Pain in October. We're announcing another tour very soon, but it's going to be a great time. The other tour you're announcing, is it going to be Earth Gang? It's us and we're opening up. We're opening up.

It's a classic group, so y'all better stay tuned cuz it's going up. We can't play a guessing game of who the group is Can we do that? Can we get exclusive right here? And it's crazy we're going on tour with the clips They reached out to you know, I agent it was like yo guys want to come on tour like, you know I'm saying like let's make this happen and we was like man hell yeah like what what okay that's dope clips in earth gang yeah that'd be a dope show yeah yes I think so yeah I think it's gonna be fired too but you know we was getting exclusives over there they yeah okay Lauren hmm yeah we nothing go ahead what that's it that's nothing. That's all I have for the hour.

Alright. Alright. Well, that's the latest with Laura. We'll see you next hour, alright? Charlamagne! Yes, sir. Who you giving your donkey to? Man, we need Willie Ray Norwood Jr. to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him this morning. Ray J? Oh, your cousin? Yes.

I know that's right. Yes. We need to have a conversation with Ray J this morning. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. Damn. Yeah. Absolutely. Get your ass up here. All right. Well, we'll give it to Ray J when we come back. So don't go anywhere.

It's the breakfast slow. Good morning. How was Donkey of the Day? Damn it! Damn, he hard, dude. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did.

I'm not making these people do these things. Called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn Solomon who got the donkey of the day today? Well, just hilarious donkey of the day for Monday June 9th goes to Willie Ray Norwood Jr. professionally known as Ray J. Now if you know anything about the history of Breakfast Club then you know once upon a, Ray J was woven into the fabric of this illustrious Hall of Fame radio show. Ray J was our first guest ever, okay? The first person who ever stepped foot into the Breakfast Club studio and sat down with us for a conversation was Ray J. That is the answer to a Breakfast Club trivia question

if anyone needs it. The first ever huge viral moment we ever had was when Ray J called in and threatened to put the booty goons on Fabulous. Okay these are all facts nobody up here will ever deny the history we have with Willie Ray Norwood Jr. but Donkey of the Day does not discriminate and I saw something this weekend that should be a teachable moment for us all. See Ray J was on his live stream this weekend and he had this to say about sexy red let's listen I slept with sexy red talking about our party with sexy red I slept with sexy red ask her that's on a

dead homie I slept with her no one man on the dead homies though. Yeah. Yeah. No one man should have all that corny. Okay. Ray J you are 44 years old getting online bragging about people you slept with. You going the superhead route in 2025. Are you that desperate for relevancy? Ray J you should be way past to do anything for clout era. I remember Ray J calling me one time and expressing how he has the desire to be seen as a businessman. He said that we should be focusing more on what he's doing in the tech world. And I agree. Okay. Ray J has had some success with those scooty bikes. When Ray J was with Raycon, they had a valuation of like 85 to a hundred

million dollars. That's no small feat. That's big business. Okay. It's an amazing thing to see a black man be a part of something like that. Then he sold his stake in Raycon and opened up the Tronics Network. He allegedly put like $5 million of his own money into the Tronics Network. That too is big business, but I don't even hear him talk about the Tronics Network anymore. Okay, my point is Ray J has done incredible things in the world of business, but his antics like this always overshadow it. Okay, Willie Ray Norwood Jr. you will never get your just due for what you've done in the business world if you online still moving and talking like we were in our 20s. Now what did Sexy Red have to say about this? Well she took to Instagram to say, calm ball ass lying on your meat is weird,

playing your ass not with me. What? me." Then she said, even to be saying we slept on the plane together. I said hi and kept it pushing is you cuckoo. And she reposted a screenshot of her sending Ray J the video saying, so this what you doing? Playing with people name on the internet. Ray J replied, I said right after we slept on the plane together, you know I'm playing, I'm always trolling and you know I love you, I'll make it clear right now on my main page, sorry if you mad at me, I'll make it right now.

The problem with the apology though, is the apology is never as loud as the offense. The truth is never as loud as the lie. The lie that Ray J slept with Sexy Red went around the world twice while the truth is still putting on his shoes. Ray J did do a more formal apology.

Let's listen. I want to apologize to Sexy Red because Sexy Red is one of my favorite artists and Sexy Red and I was on a plane and we were both flying somewhere, randomly saw each other. She was sitting by me. She had her space, I had my space. She had her own blanket, her own pillow. I had my own blanket and my own pillow. And we had a long flight.

And we both were tired, you know what I'm saying? So we just, we went to sleep. Just like we would sleep with anybody else that was sitting next to us on the plane. I went out of control and I said that I slept with sexy red and that's just, that's as insensitive and it's not okay. And it's trolling at the highest level. And I want to say sexy red, my bad. Here's the teachable moment. June is men's mental health month.

If you feel the need to get online and be a chronic and compulsive liar at the age of 44, okay, lies that are manipulative and damaging that could hurt relationships with people, could hurt careers, even yourself, then you might be dealing with an underlying condition that you need to sit with a mental health professional about. I'm serious. My brothers, we got to do better. Okay, Ray J is 44, Sexy Ray is 27. At this point, Ray, you should be teaching the next generation how to move. They should be looking to you to know how to move,

but instead, you got them looking at you like you washed. You moving like you on the corner with a Starbucks cup in your hand, dancing to wait a minute, hoping somebody gives you a couple of dollars. And you can't tell me you just doing this to build up your chat, okay? You can't just tell me that,

because in the screaming world, I don't even see the screamers moving like this, okay? Not the ones I watch. The ones I watch got very high emotional IQs. Kyle Sinatra, of course, and Little Reggie, Duke Dennis, I don't see them resorting to lying on their beef whistles, saying they slept with certain celebrities to garner attention

for their chats. Ray J, you got a daughter You got a niece would you want somebody playing with their name like that? Would you want somebody playing with your sister's name like that, huh? The answer to those questions are no, okay Ray I know you want to be down with this new screaming world Okay, you'd be sitting up in your room in front of that laptop trying to keep up with them youngsters But if I had one wish Ray that wish would be for you to sitting up in your room in front of that laptop trying to keep up with them youngsters. But if I had one wish Ray that wish would be for you to grow

up. Okay I'm not saying anything right now I haven't told you before. Grow up at 44 there is a level of emotional maturity you supposed to have. Okay you need to sit with a therapist or some mental health professional and ask what is this attention-se seeking behavior you constantly display? Is it learned from childhood? You didn't grow up in a toxic environment as far as I know, what is it? Okay, look, I'm no mental health expert.

I've never claimed to be. I'm just a man who's had some experiences and I'm a man who had to confront my own emotional immaturity. And it comes to a point in our lives when we have to look in the mirror and stop avoiding accountability or uncomfortable truths about ourselves.

And the truth is, if a man is 44 years old still lying for attention, it might not always be a clinical diagnosis, but it's almost always a sign that he hasn't healed something. Was it his fear, insecurity, or trauma? Something deeper is driving the behavior in Willie Ray Norwood Jr. I sincerely hope you heal. Please let Remy Ma give Ray J the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother-fucker, are you dumb?

Now, Jess Elias, has a man ever lied on your poom-poom? Oh, absolutely, yes. And said he hit when he didn't? Yes, absolutely. And I don't know why the gentleman did that, but he did that. That's recently, too. Yeah.

Oh, recently? Absolutely. Damn. It's been like a couple months ago. What? A clown. Wow. Somebody that I wouldn't even think would be a clown.

Somebody that y'all know. We know? And we talk about this person. Don't push it. Rather frequently. Please don't push it. Really? Don't do it.

Don't push it. In the world of entertainment? No, don't push it, please. Please. Comedian, musician? Jess, don't stop. No, not a comedian, not a of entertainment? No, don't push it, please. Please. Comedian, musician? Just don't stop. No, not a comedian, not a musician. Lord, please don't let Jess say no names.

A spiritual leader? A pastor? Lord, please don't let Jess say no names. We'll get back. All right. 800-585-1051. Has somebody lied on you before? Lied on your poom-poom? Lied on... I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast, Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all, his wife, Caroline.

He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?

You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast,

Hell and Gone, I've learned one thing. No town is too small for murder. I'm Catherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders. I was calling about the murder of my husband at the cold case. I've never found her and it haunts me to this day.

The murderer is still out there. Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking. Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother. She was still somebody's daughter.

She was still somebody's sister. There's so many questions that we've never gotten any kind of answers for. If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. Listen to Hell and Gone Murder Line on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

Randall Williams and bestselling author and meat eater founder Stephen Rinella.

He used to catch the bus to go have sex with him. Charlamagne took the bus for that D.

So what happened? You didn't catch the bus? He wasn't like that? There was some random dude on YouTube trying to be funny. This was 12, how long? This was like 12 years ago. Don't tell him. I believe him though.

Actually longer because we weren't even doing Breakfast Club then I don't think. Was we? Maybe. Where is he from? 843? We had to look country. He Club then I don't think. What we? Baby. Yes, where is he from? Is he from 8.43? Is he at the low country? He was like, don't make me tell your number. He was like, I got your number right here, it's 803, ooh, I'm going to stop, don't make

I meant to tell you my name is Shantelle. I'm trying to hide my identity. But anyway, I used to be in the comedy troupe with Mike F, Don L. Rollins, Brooklyn Mike now known as Brooklyn Troy. I mean Mike Troy. And we used to perform at the Brooklyn Moon downstairs. We would rehearse and then we'd come up through skits.

I was the theater professor. So I used to be the acting teacher. They were the hot mess. But anyway, so I used to come through and sometimes we bring the hat up, they put money in. This guy had notoriety a little bit who was a comedian. He's still a comedian I guess. But he was kind of effeminate, so I didn't think that, you know, anything. But anyway, I gave him a chance. He called me or whatever, thinking it was just gonna be a normal night. And he went back and told Darnell.

And so Darnell was like, oh, so you slept. And I was like, but he didn't tell Darnell that he couldn't get an erection. He didn't even do anything. And I was never gonna tell on the brother. You understand what I'm saying? But I was just like, dang. What was he trying to prove?

He lied, but he was, it was kind of a half a lie cause y'all would have done it if you would have got a. No, I mean, it wasn't even about whether I would have done it or not. It was just the fact that why did you go and tell? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm with you.

What, I gave you a chance guy, you know, cause you know, he wouldn't even had a chance if I wasn't just trying to be nice, cause I thought he was gay. Damn, damn. You know, or not gay, but he was just very effeminate, cause I'm in the theater world, so sometimes we deal with a lot of gay, you know people whatever and we you could pick it up and no big deal

But I'm gonna give you a chance Hey, can we talk? Can we talk about the dirty Mac and Donnell was doing Donnell couldn't wait to run back to tell you so you slept with such You said I know. I know. So, well, that's another story. That's another story, because they are, I didn't even want to go there, but he was the one to leave, you know, because we developed skits together. We all would write, or we write, we had our book. Mike F. quit because he said he lost his creative book, but he really had a deal with the big movie Friday, but he didn't tell us and then he blew up and left but

we had a lot of fun together but they don't talk about the Secret Society all of them because they done blew up now so they don't want to tell their original crew that they used to run with. Matter of fact we met Dave Chappelle doing a Caroline or one of the spots doing our skits and that's when Darnell actually met Dave Chappelle. Because he was like, I would like to do skits too. They were just talking to the side of the wings. But yeah, we had a nice, nice comedy troupe together. We had a lot of fun.

I box Russell, I ain't boxing with Sierra. You know who else I seen this weekend that said he wanted some smoke for Charlamagne? Lil Twist.

Lil Twist. From Young Money. Lil Wayne's label. What you do, Char? Hey, I don't know what y'all got going on in y'all lives. When I hear y'all talk, I'm so thankful for mine. La Little Twist. What the hell is you around, Little Twist?

I was on the floating, I was on the Puerto Rican Day Parade float, and Little Twist said he would love to come on the Breakfast Club and curse out Charlamagne. Come on! What did you say about Little Twist? I don't even remember, I'm sure I said, I know I had some heat for Little Twist.

I remember, Truck Fit. No, that wasn't Little Twist. Well, you know what? I don't remember, I used to kill I said, I know I had some heat for a little too. I remember, truck fit. No, that wasn't a little too. Well, you know what? I don't remember, I used to kill all of them with the truck fit thing. God damn. I used to ask all of them, what did you do for some truck fit?

That's Lil Wayne's fault, though. Lil Wayne said, you did for some truck fit. So if I see you walking around with a bunch of truck fit, do you know Lil Wayne is probably the only rapper who killed his own clothing line with a line? Ah. Nobody wanted to wear truck fit after Lil Wayne said that. No, cause you was the one that made fun of everybody for wearing truck fit.

Cause Lil Wayne said that people suck for truck fit. Who fault is that? Who fault is that? Anytime you see celebrities opening up truck fit online, I'll be like, what. What about that bop though? That outfit was crazy. That bop too is crazy because of the outfit. Respectful, he was a respectful young man. We see him on the floor, he was a good guy, but he said he wants to come up here and curse on me. All of them are welcome to come, okay? Charlamagne has never been one of those personalities who don't talk to people he talks about. So they're all welcome.

I love that. Yes, yes. Well, real quick, I just wanted to give an update because this happened towards the end of the week. Did he ask for a mistrial or is asking for a mistrial right now? He is basically alleging that the government is presenting false testimony knowing that it's false because I would say everybody lying to Y'all and I did not rub no man's **** on my nipples. on my nipples. What? He wasn't talking about that. He didn't say that was a lie. But let me tell you because Jane Doe who was testifying on the stand, she had a story about

she alleges that Diddy would make the sex workers finish on her and she wasn't allowed to clean it up because Diddy allegedly wanted to play around with it too. Another man's man milk? Yes. That's crazy. First of all, in the producer world they call that a sample. What? Diddy was sampling. What's wrong with you? Yo. That's crazy. First of all, in the producer world, they call that a sample. All right, then he was sampling. What's wrong with you?

Yo, that's horrible. That's nasty. It's not BJs. Wait, wait, well then again, you know what? You know, BJs, they give you like a little. Yeah, I just sound like all this macaroni and jizz. I don't like it. Yes.

Macaroni and jizz is crazy. What? Everything? My God. Can you imagine in the car right now? Mom, what's man milk? What's that? You should not be listening to this, especially during no Diddy trial.

I know. The freak off menu. Yes. But, yo, everybody in the media room is coming up to me about Diddy. Like, everybody want to talk about Diddy. People are very invested in the man milk. Absolutely. Yes. But yeah, so he's asking for the Miss Charlie. He's basically trying to say that the woman Brianna who took the stand that her testimony was false, which prosecutors came in and debunked on the stand because she couldn't remember her dates. But her photo said one date and then a text message

from Cassie verified a different date. So they cleared that up. So and wrapping up BET Awards tonight, I'll be backstage at the BET Awards 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, 25 years of 106 and Park. So there's a lot of people shouting out the BET Awards, man. People know it's on tonight. I'm glad you work in the backstage. We're giving them way more than they gave us because I saw your broadcast space and I see no Breakfast Club signage. I saw Nini Leakes had signage and Angie Martinez had signage and damn they all the podcast had signage Breakfast Club didn't have no signage. It just said BET award signage everywhere. So we giving them way more than they gave us.

She had a little something on her laptop. That was not even real. That was photoshopped. That was AI? Yes. It's a little crazy. I would advise you to look at our Instagram and then look at our YouTube and you compare the two exactly And what I'm trying to say is that the show is coming on tonight, and I'm going to sleep Charlie me I don't know yeah like them not me okay.

So what they just get any Latino DJ and like y'all can spin at any parade? I was DJing the float. Cuz I would think Puerto Ricans should be DJing the float, not Dominicans.

But there was a whole bunch of people on the float. And none of them Puerto Rican? Nothing. Name them. Name who's on the float with you. Nika. Who is that? A blunt person. That's what all Puerto Ricans say. Look at all the Nikas. Look at all the Nikas. All the Puerto Ricans are like, look at all the Nikas in our brain.

I've heard from hundreds of people across the country with an unsolved murder in their community. I was calling about the murder of my husband. The murderer is still out there. Each week, I investigate a new case. If there's a case we should hear about, call 678-744-6145. Listen to Hell and Gone Murderline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get

your podcasts. I always had to be so good no one could ignore me. Carve my path with data and drive. But some people only see who I am on paper. The paper ceiling. The limitations from degree screens to stereotypes that are holding back over 70 million stars. Workers skilled through alternative routes rather than a bachelor's degree. It's

When we step beyond the edge of what we know... I clinically died. The heart stopped beating.

Which I was dead for 11.5 minutes. ...in return... It's a miracle I was brought back. ...Alive Again, a podcast about the strength of the human spirit. Listen to Alive Again on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
