It's gonna be one of those ones

Everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news Good morning, Morgan Good morning, everybody. How y'all feeling today? Feeling amazing. Let's black and holly favorite. What's up, Morgan? All right, let's get into it. So two NASA astronauts are back on Earth after a nine-month stay on the International Space Station. NASA spokesperson Steve Stitch says there's no specific timeline when Sonny Williams and

Butch Wilmore will be reunited with their families, but it should essentially be soon. You know, it takes some time for astronauts to readjust when they're going to be back on specific timeline when Sonny Williams and Butch Wilmore will be reunited with their families, but it should essentially be soon. You know, it takes some time for astronauts to readjust once they've gotten back on Earth. These astronauts were actually supposed to only be in space for just a matter of days, I believe eight or nine days, and they've been up in space at that space station for more like eight or nine months. So let's hear more from NASA spokesperson Steve Stitch on these astronauts. I know they're gonna fly back here tonight.

They'll probably spend some time rehabilitating a little bit and watch the docs watching them and then they'll rejoin their families in the next day or so. I don't, you know, they were supposed to go for two weeks, right? Right. How did they have enough food for nine months?

Like, you know, you carry enough food for a maybe, maybe eight weeks, but they had enough food for nine months? You know those, have you ever seen space food? You see how it's packed? It's like paste. Yeah, but it's very compressed also. So I would imagine that it would be beneficial for NASA just to overstock space stations anyways. I'll tell you something Morgan, space seems very boring. would be beneficial for NASA just to overstock space stations anyways, you know, right?

I'll tell you something Morgan, space seems very boring. Okay, either they have to sign NDAs or they lying about going to space because they never come back with no amazing stories. I mean, y'all was in space all that time and I watched CNN last night and I didn't hear any great stories. Okay, social media was more entertaining yesterday than coming back from space. Okay, so Williams and Wilmore had to stay way longer, as I mentioned, than playing aboard the ISS

after issues with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Of course, they returned home on a SpaceX capsule on Tuesday, splashing down into the ocean off the coast of Florida SpaceX. You know, that's Elon Musk. I think something that was really kind of cool was their first meal back. Did you see that on CNN? No, no, no, you know they ate PBJ a salad and a burger

So I'm just like you know when you when you coming back from space and you've been in space for nine months like They got peanut butter and jelly salad. No, no when they hit their first meal when they got back No, I said they had someone had a salad. She said PBJ salad. No, I said someone had a salad. Someone had a PBJ. Oh, he throws a peanut butter turkey salad. Oh my gosh, guys. Moving on. Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, he is getting rid of his Tesla

car after a public spat with Elon Musk. In a video posted on X, the Arizona Democrat said he drove the car to work for the last time on Friday. He pointed to the actions of President Trump and Elon Musk for his decision to get rid of his Tesla. Let's take a listen to Senator Kelly's comments. Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much

damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country. It's one bad thing after the next. He's firing veterans. I'm a veteran. So I have a really hard time driving around in this thing. So I think it's time for an upgrade today. So this is gonna be my last, last trip in this car. What do you guys think?

I respect it. All of y'all complaining about Elon Musk. If you drive a Tesla, if you on X, then you really don't care about Elon Musk that much, or what Elon Musk is doing. So I respect- They were saying just don't buy Teslas new. If you buy U's, he gets none of the money. But if you can buy U's, but it's kind of hard not to because not for nothing, Tesla got

some of the best stuff in their car. Like the car self-drives, the car self-parks, the car pretty much does everything. If it's raining outside, you push a button, the car comes to the front of the store for you I never wanted one plenty of people do though that's essentially what Mark Kelly said as well he was like there are things I like about the car there are a lot of things that I you know I don't like about the car but Musk recently called Kelly a traitor after the senator posted pictures of his trip to Ukraine Kelly responded by telling Musk he doesn't understand that defending freedom is a basic

tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. So Tesla has faced protests and calls for boycotts due to Musk's work with the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE. So with that being said, do you think these boycotts are working? What are your thoughts on that? You know, one here here here we have Tesla We saw what happened with the blackout with Target Are the boycotts working? Yes or no, I have no idea because I don't know what's the call to action I mean, that's what I do know that what the call to action is for Target because I've seen some of the action items

But we know some of those when some of those action items start getting answered then I would say they're working Okay. All right. Well, that's your front page news for 6 a.m. 7 a.m. we're talking deportations, tariffs and aviation news so stick around for more front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Thank you Morgan.

I just want to know why the Democratic side, like he walked into kind of a bad situation and everyone expects him to have it all cleared up in two months.

He's got four years. I mean everybody's complaining about what he's done two months but nobody's given him any time. It's interesting right? I think that you know he did walk into what they say was the greatest economy in the world but it's hard to say that when working-class people don't feel it in their pockets. You know? But he did according to you know, the stock market and GDP

He did walk into a great economy and you know what almost two months in it's not that great anymore Get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent you can hit us right up now.

That is where the Up First podcast comes in. Every single morning in under 15 minutes, we take the news and boil it down to three essential stories so you can keep up without feeling stressed out.

Listen up first from NPR on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here? Ow, goes lower. From Blumhouse TV, iHeart Podcasts, and Ember 20 comes an all new fictional comedy podcast series. Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels

the mystery of his vanished boyfriend. And Santi was gone. I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi. And what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Hmm, pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche.

Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill-conceived, investigative hookups. Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup. Now, take a big whiff, my brah.

Listen to The Hookup on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Hi, I'm Bob Pipman, Chairman and CEO of iHeart Media. I'm excited to introduce a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing. I'm having conversations with some interesting folks across a wide range of industries to hear how they reach the top of their fields and the lessons they learned along the way that everyone can use. I'll be joined by innovative leaders like chairman and CEO of Elf Beauty, Terang Amin.

The way I approach risk is constantly try things and actually make it OK to fail. I'm sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and philanthropist, Jule. I wanted a way to do something that I loved for the rest of my life. We're also hearing how leaders brought their businesses out of unprecedented times, like Stephane Bancel, CEO of Moderna. He becomes a human decision to decide to throw by the window your business strategy and to do what you think is the right thing for the world. Join me as we uncover innovations in data and analytics, the math, and the ever-important creative spark, the magic.

Listen to Math & Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. September 1979, Virginia's top prison band Edge of Daybreak is about to record their debut album Behind Bars in just five hours. Five hours. Okay, we're rolling. One, two, three, four. I'm Jamie Petrus, music and culture writer. For the past five years, I've been talking to the band's three surviving members.

They're out of prison now and in their 70s. Their past behind them. But they also have some unfinished business. The end of daybreak, eyes of love, was supposed to have been followed up by another album. It's a story about the liberating power of music, the American justice system, and ultimately, second chances. Listen to Soul Incarcerated on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't go there. All right. So before we get started with Jonathan majors and Megan Good, who are married, yay, officially, officially, okay, congratulations. But before we get there, Tracy Morgan, I know we talked about that in the first hour yesterday, I did want to update everybody. He posted to let us know that he was doing good. He said that he was, you know, he's at the doctors at the time and they told him that it was food poison He says he appreciated appreciates all of his Madison Square Garden family for taking such good care of him

And he wants to shout out the crew that had to clean up He appreciates them. I'm sure he does and then he said more importantly the Knicks are now one and zero So when he throws up on the court, uh that happened so maybe he might have to break it out again in the playoffs. You have to go Knicks. I can tell it was full poison him by the way he projected to Obama because I had full poison him before and that's exactly what happened. Yeah that's what I said yeah I know he doesn't drink but Tracy is the type of person that when he goes back to the garden anybody who clean up that mess he gonna tip you big like Tracy's very generous so he's probably gonna tip you big.

What if Tracy was like boy don't you be saying that now I gotta tip you big like Tracy's very generous. So he's probably gonna tip you big. What a Tracy was like boy Don't you be saying that now? Appreciate your I was okay. He probably take care of people now. He let us Alright, so shifting gears Jonathan majors and Megan good are married now This is according to reports and according to sources. So he sat down with Kevin Frazier yesterday on ET at a premiere for his new movie magazine dreams and they talked a bit about just where him and Megan Good are right now. Let's listen to Jonathan Majors on being

married. I remember her telling me I've never been this happy before. Just my girl man. She's just my best friend. You know my wife, you know my fiance, my Coretta. Yeah, it's it. She's just my best friend. You know my wife, you know my fiance, my Coretta. So that slipped and in the package and in the story that ET broke exclusively they revealed that the reason why that slipped is because according to a source that they spoke to they got Married and it was Jonathan Majors mother who actually married them in a private ceremony And yeah yeah and it was just days you know before he set to return to the big screen the magazine dream so a

lot of people were calling this out and saying yo this is happening and that was dropped because of the audio that Rolling Stone posted yesterday of him apparently admitting to choking or whatever. Being secretly taped. Being secretly taped yes. So people feel like this is Megan Good again having to be thrown in front of the fire for him. So let me tell you something Last night I was watching magazine dreams. It's a good they say it's a man

It's an award-winning performance. Jonathan Majors is a bad mother ever. Drop on the clues bomb for Jonathan Majors Okay, I mean I kept getting interrupted because people kept calling me about Jess But Jonathan Majors is a truly gifted actor Once in a generation talent like a person that can't be denied his gifts will continue to make is it a tear-jerker drama You know what it's one of those movies that you have anxiety all the way through it's like one of the movies you watch You like no bro. Don't do that. Don't do that. You know what I'm saying, but it's it's I would I don't it didn't make me cry it just gave it gives it makes you anxiety up and down because you get so into his character Yeah, that you just like bro. Don't do that. No

Don't do it. I'm gonna watch it this weekend. No, it's really good He did also address the audio that Rolling Stone leaked a bit. Let's take a listen to that How do you address this latest headline? You know, I love you brother. Yeah, I do love you. I just can't speak to that. There's work to be done. And that's what I'm focused on now. How have you worked on those things that from your past prayer? That's been a huge thing. The mandatory, um, but that's just that one.

Um, and then the voluntary and the voluntary therapy, you know, that I've been in. And now I'm just finding ways to invest and change and shift and grow, grow myself in a way. I also wonder how much of the character from magazine dreams stayed with him long after he shot it. What's the character? Like what is his character? He plays a bodybuilder who is um he's played he plays a bodybuilder who wants to compete I think to be Mr. Universe and Mr. USA. I've seen trailers I think because Zeus dropped the trailer but I didn't see the movie. So he's on steroids, he's on cocaine, oh wow he's lusting after white women. Oh wow. It's fantastic. There's gonna be the black woman in the movie though. A Coretta. No, no Coretta. In fact he actually goes, never mind. Don't say too

much. I can't wait to see it. He's fantastic. He's a brilliant actor. No, fantastic. Well, speaking of marriages or what is not left of a marriage, Tiana Taylor yesterday filed a complaint against Iman Shumpert. Now in this new filing, she is basically saying to the court, hey, y'all, he's in contempt right now. Back in July, we agreed that our marriage stuff, everything we agreed on as far as that, their judgment for what everybody gets will be sealed and he is leaking false information to magazines, like media outlets, all that type of thing, right?

So in this filing, because I remember there was like all these questions about what each person got and we answered the question, but this filing goes more in depth. Now I want to make sure I list this out So that we could put this to rest for the last time and that's a part of it because Tiana says that in this document Tiana says she's been receiving like they've been taking her through the mud like she's threats and all that death threats and public scrutiny because of that first story that leaked because it made it seem as If Tiana took this man for everything that he had when that was not the case So according to this filing Tiana walked away with four of seven marital properties, two properties she purchased

solely on her own, two properties that both she and Amon contributed to. She took she walked away with a tour bus that she paid for by herself, a Maybach that she purchased after Amon allegedly crashed, total and abandoned another Rolls Royce that she had, and he never replaced it. She also walked away withs Royce that she had and he never replaced it. She also walked away with a Bronco that she owned and totally purchased on her own, a Jeep Gladiator that she purchased by herself, a Sprinter van purchased in March 2024, which was after their separation.

She purchased that on her own as well. Aman kept all of his luxury cars, three of seven marital properties, one property he purchased alone, a Miami condo that Siana alleges in his document that she put money towards, but he fought to have it in a divorce. So he got that and additional property that they both contributed to. So she's just asking a judge to hold him in contempt of that judgment and that can have, I believe it's like 20 days of jail time and she's asking that like, you know, certain fees be paid and all of that. But this filing-

Tom, slow down. What would he go to jail for? It would be for contempt of basically their agreement when they were divorced was that know certain fees be paid and all of name he violates that. You know when they made their names like when he first got the divorce you don't want to even put it out there she wanted it to be private from the whole jump and he was the one that put their names out there. And she outlines that in his document too like when she originally filed it was because it was it was an initials to protect them but not just them their babies and then when he refiled he refiled with full names so. You should have rapped about it. No it in the music People still wouldn't hurt it though. I am

All right. Well that is the latest with Lauren now when we come back we got front page news Morgan to be join us And don't forget later on in the show AJ Johnson and Tristan will be here They got a new joint on BET plus call fighting to be me, the Dwayne Curry story. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DEJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get back to some front page news. What up Morgan? Yeah, let's do it. So a new study from UCLA says President Trump's economic policies could lead to a recession. UCLA economists believe the policies could slow down the manufacturing sector and reduce the workforce. The analysis says there's no signs of a recession right now, but multiple events could happen at the same time in the next year or two that could

lead to an economic downturn. Elsewhere in California, Governor Gavin Newsom is going after President Trump over his use of a centuries old law to justify deportation of hundreds of illegal immigrants. Now, speaking on his podcast, Governor Newsom said a federal judge temporarily blocked the deportations, but they proceeded anyway. Let's hear more from California Governor Gavin Newsom. This to me, of all the things that has happened or the Trump administration, the notion that you can completely disregard the federal court and literally challenge the court just blatantly in contempt of court. I mean that's the cornerstone of this constitutional democracy. He's been doing

that for so long like what's the surprise now? Well I think again we it goes back to what we were saying yesterday about proof and making sure that the deportations are exactly They're right that there we are in fact the US is in fact deporting Criminals and but who's the checks and balances on that? So the Trump administration says the deportees were identified as members of the Venezuelan gang and the 1798 Alien Enemies Act gives the federal government sweeping powers to deport or imprison non-citizens

during wartime. Now, the thing about this is President Trump has repeatedly said he believes the United States is under attack at its borders. So would he consider that, you know, would this be that type of situation? So this comes as the Department of Justice maintains that no deportation flight left the U.S. after the order of a federal judge was placed to stop the planes from leaving and a court filing made on Tuesday to meet the deadline set by Judge James Boasberg.

The DOJ still refused to say exactly when the flights carrying the alleged gang members left were Venezuela and El Salvador. The lawyers said providing those details would be inappropriate because the Trump administration didn't go against the order, but they did say they would be willing to provide more information in a private setting. They're saying that basically we can't say this out loud publicly because this is a matter of national security. So yeah, that's what's going on with the deportation flights, but we're still trying to figure out what happened with that last flight in Texas and the timeline of the judge's order

as to whether or not the flight in Texas was still grounded or the judge had his order issued and that's going to probably be a big deal. Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul says the tariff war between Canada and the U.S. is continuing to hit New York State hard. Hokel adds the average New York family will feel it over the course of a year and adds more further that fewer Canadians are crossing the border since these tariffs began. Let's take a listen to New York Governor Kathy Hokel's comments on Canadian tariffs.

People are going to understand very clearly the impact that this is having on their everyday lives. I mean, the average family possibly paying upwards of two to three thousand dollars more for everything and the war is just getting started. I mean I was in Manhattan asking what occupancy is like in the hotels and they said many Canadians are canceling reservations. Places like theaters in Buffalo are feeling the effect. Yeah what do you guys think? I mean you're up there. I'll be honest. It won't necessarily affect us, because I live in Jersey, but it will affect my parents who still live in New York, and it will affect New Yorkers if that tariff hits Canada and they raise those electric prices.

Yeah, absolutely, positively. So, Hoco gets their electricity from Canada? Yes. Yes, there are parts of, yeah. Hoco, and not only New York, there are places in Michigan as well, and Wisconsin, I believe, as well. Hoco also says the tariffs are making it harder to build more housing at a time where there is a severe housing shortage in the state.

This because of the cost of lumber and steel are up as a result of those tariffs. And she called the situation enormously frustrating. I just wondered with one last thing. I just wondered with all that stuff going on, will the government help a lot of people are gonna get their lights cut off like electricity is gonna get cut off because if they Raise those prices and people could barely afford it now and they can't afford it Are they just gonna have people with no electricity with no heat with no AC in the summer, right? You know, I don't know Yeah, the federal government should you know, that's you know, but being that they're the ones implementing

some of the tariffs and, you know, we will see what happens. One thing I'm noticing here in Maryland, Governor Westmore is possibly talking about like a moratorium for, I'm sorry, help me with the word, the foreclosure moratorium, so that way people won't lose their houses. So I imagine that a lot of this stuff that happens between the tariffs and the layoffs

and all of these things are going to probably go back to the state. So yeah, we will see what happens there. But of course, you know, I'm gonna keep you posted. Elsewhere before I go.

She's been trending all day Yeah, I think she's number nine right now Okay Cuz I was sitting at home last night trying to watch magazine dreams And I kept getting a bunch of phone calls and text messages and people is like just larry's is going off on live

Oh, we have audio. Okay We supposed to be a team up that not one person not one person comes to my defense at all like when I'm like not one mother ever with this online come on I've been quiet a lot if Jess hilarious is quiet it's a mother reason I always got my mouth open all the time just ran like a high school it is is fair Eastside. I agree with that fair Eastside Well for mr. Clark though every day and they always have a you ain't at work. You ain't that work? Yeah, I started picking up more shows. Hell. No, that's I'm getting no no Hell no, I have more fun outside the studio than I have in there now. Is you crazy?

No act like now act like act like that's not for real act like nobody knew that stop acting like young like Really? What you mean? We don't have you I have more down. I explained how we don't okay All right, so the narrative like I said with the online ish. That's what I said. Yeah Ain't nobody trying to clear up no narrative about nothing ever since I came back it was weird yes it was weird yeah I at first no I did not I wasn't too fond of Lauren no I wasn't too fond of her when I came back because we had a whole plan even how when I when I came back how I pick her to fill in for me right I come back she ain't ever leave then all right cool to show leave But she's on only during my segment if she was meant to be a full of holes

Move her in another way Why she got to be moved in on because nobody had a problem with just with the message so she started reading right? You know, I mean to see her right? I was I was just with the man so she started reading and delivering details and all that stuff yes then that's when just with the mess wasn't good enough no more that's how it was presented something like all right cool what are we talking about no no no no no no this is this is every this is our listeners this is this is yeah why can't why can't we talking about? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is, this is every, this is our listeners. This is, this is, yeah.

Why can't, why can't we worry about the comments and these are people that enjoy the show and watch the show. It's not all about Instagram. It's YouTube. It's like we have people that have been watching this show. Yeah. She's great at what she do. That's why I picked her to feel infamy. But when I came back, it was, it was, it's kind of, it's like, what's going on? If she's going to be a fourth voice, why she only gotta be a fourth voice on my segment? She wasn't a fourth voice, she was a producer.

She was hired as a news producer to help with getting all news and doing interview questions. She was gonna be the senior news producer. She wasn't on air. When you came back, Lauren was not on air. She was in the back doing questions, sending interview questions, reporting the news. Am I lying?

Yeah, you lying. Yeah, she was on air. They told her to step in this room. Yes, but I thought you was using her on purpose. What? You thought I was using Lauren on purpose? Yes. No, what are we talking about? No, no, no. She didn't leave when I came back the first day. The first day we had a whole situation like, all right, I look this was gonna happen and when it's time for us to roll it changed no the first question was about only person who asked me about my baby maternity leave was in the I walked in she addressed the hate in the comments that was the first thing she addressed when I came back I'm like what the hell we

started talking off air we started so so then I felt uncomfortable that first day so I'm like I look there was a I I will just take her off air she was back the next week all right cool because there was a voice they y'all wanted her on air there was a voice they you know they wanted her there they wanted. There's, there's a place for Lauren in the show. All right, cool. But you wanted her, you wanted her here too though. Another way. Yeah. Because you said you wanted to change the segment from Jess with the Mess to Lauren.

That was eventually, eventually, even when it, even when it came down to it still being called Jess with the Mess and then I'm introducing her to introduce stories, that was pointless and it was stupid. It's no Just With The Mess, just make it Brown Girl Grinding or Lauren with the Latest or Lauren's Legal Corner. I'm giving ideas and I'm like, yo, I even went to Taylor, yo, change that, change that, take that Just With The Mess off of there. I feel like I'm getting credit for something I'm not doing and it's stupid because this is not, what she does is not Just With The Mess.

I read headlines and I give commentary I say what people thinking I agree Yes, she's more of a reporter. She's generally the question. Why why didn't you wear the durag this morning? Because why you joke so much man? What you mean? Bring it to the radio. It's not a joke. It's not a joke. If people bring it to the radio, I want to laugh. It's not a joke. It's not a joke. It's a serious issue about it. It is a serious issue. Okay, let me just sit back and watch it then. Because I'm just, I'm not Joe Clark.

I am actually. Give me my Facebook back. Now, it's, now, Envy, that's what I'm saying. No, nobody has even tried to clean up the narrative that I'm a villain. Man, I've been in this, girl. You're not a villain. Who said you were a villain? Yo, stop acting like you don't live in them comments too, Sharla.

Stop acting like you don't understand. But what do I always tell you? I say stop acting like you don't understand. Stop acting like you don't understand. Stop acting like you don't understand. Stop acting like you don't understand. Stop acting like you don villain Yo, stop acting like you don't live in them comments to Charlotte What I like you don't understand what do I always tell you I say stop listening to the internet stop listening to the comments Stop listening to the folks on YouTube Don't let them trick you out your position what you did last night is what they want you to do and you can't let the internet Well, but look it's not even about what they want me to do

I did last night what I wanted to do what what I felt like I should have been did. I've been asking questions. The internet loves mess. And one of the easiest ways to create mess is to pit people against each other, especially two women. And I don't dwell in that. And y'all know that. Yeah, but see, this is the thing.

You let the internet dictate what's going on. We've had conversations, and this is the thing, this is why I thought it was corny, and this is just me personally. I thought it was corny because we have conversations up here. We just have a meeting. If you had an issue, a problem, a situation or something that you felt, why you ain't bring it to the team? When you came back, Jess, I pulled you to the side. I said, Jess, if you feel uncomfortable, if you don't want Lauren in the room, this is your show. We can make that change whenever you want. Did I not? Did I not say that to

you? Yeah, you did. It's not about wanting her in the room, yo. It's about the segment. Like, if she was, it was like y'all wanted her. If you had a problem, say it to us. We had a meeting yesterday. I've had many conversations off-air. What are you talking about? Not like nobody have in my back, because we have your back. As far as the Cory Holcomb thing, y'all been beefing for 11 years. I'm not whining about, yo. It's not even about whining. You worried about comments. You worried about comments.

You worried about what people say after you put this in the comments. I'm worried about the perception and my reputation They've been itching on me for 15 years. They've been itching on short things for 15 years. But that's on you. I don't let it affect me because I know who I am as a person. I don't give a F with them people saying the comments. I know who I am.

I know what I do. You let them people get in the comments and F with you you're great at what you do everybody simmer down like you a dope she's very like them people get piss you off no after niggas I do nice like what you do is funny I tell her that all the time on air all that energy that we needed to the Breakfast Club and you let a bitch ass person in a comment say something to stare you about them niggas we don't even know who these people are they could be bots and all that but and we and we doing it on air when we could have

did it behind the scenes like i f with you the long way not on some internet ish and they hear that through there this is very light skin but let's go to the phones 1-800-585-105 one let's open the phone line everybody will stop i'm going to a spark.

We're having a conversation because just hilarious Went crazy on Instagram last night and I knew the live wait upset You know you tell me you don't get upset whatever, but I knew that it would upset envy I knew it would upset Lauren

That's why you closed the elevator this morning. That's what that was crazy now. What why would you do that? I know I This was why I heard the button though I said I felt like I didn't know what to say to you because I was so thrown off by the by parts of that live yesterday. I'm like, bro, we be talking at least like we don't got to be friends outside of here. But I feel like I've always said to you off air whenever things have happened, we've had conversations about a lot of different things. We can let's talk. Call me.

What's up? What's the issue? What's going on? The issue is the whole narrative. Like I understand after comments and yeah, after people and all that, but it's not all about them. It's how I'm feeling too. What if I'm feeling the same way that people feel, you know what I'm saying? So what? Cause niggas online feel a certain way. I can't say I can't say I feel the same way they feel about it. Call me and curse me out. Call me and curse me out. Yes, you do.

Like, I've done that. You know what I mean? There's a bigger issue sometimes too, because I feel like, all right, you'll call him your custom out. We might talk about different situations. But I think a lot of times if there's an issue for real for real, and then it don't be no movement in here. It's like there's an issue outside and then there's no movement in here. And then we just all in here like, hee hee ha ha. Like you're done a lot of it right now. You're laughing and joking,

but for real for real, you know that there's, she's up here crying. Nothing about that is funny. Like there's real issues and real problems and we don't really get to the gist of it. Never. I want to record this show, I see Jess cry a lot. It doesn't matter if you see her cry a thousand times.

So why you always joke, man? He's talking about you see her cry a lot. You know what, I'm not even talking to y'all. I'm not talking to y'all, see? Because when I try to be serious and matter if you see Because when I try to be serious and talk you see what I'm saying you should be out of do me What I'm saying is is that I think at this moment because this is Eastside high west side whatever high we gonna be we here and we together so we got to figure this out and It it's not everything's not a joke and I can understand some of where you was coming from but bro part of that live I thought was crazy.

make sure that don't happen because it doesn't look good it's not gonna play well for either one I literally swear to God I don't even remember you saying that. And that's exactly why I had Eddie in the room or EP to have the conversation. I never ever heard that. You have pulled me to the side a few times to ask me, you know, are you okay? How do you feel like about the stories and things like that? You've never said what you just said to me. Now listen, I have said hush, shut up. Yo, you over talk.

I'm here.

And listen, like I said earlier, the internet loves men. Yes, you are here. And one of the easiest ways to create men is to pick women against each other. And you're here because of an opportunity that I extended. Regardless of.

Yeah, no, no, no. I'm not sitting here like you don't deserve to, no. I'm not sitting here like you don't deserve to be here. I'm not sitting here like you're not here. You're not going anywhere. That's not, first and foremost, let's get that. It may be my delivery or whatever. But yeah, you are here. I ain't never say you shouldn't be here. I said from the whole jump, yeah, Shorty do the job. Great. She's amazing. That's why I want it to be her segment I think y'all can work very well together and once again you gotta stop letting the internet pitch all against each other I know the internet has created a narrative Lauren vs Jess vs Lauren

that's what it is and that's what I'm trying to say is the internet is there we see it we know none of us can ignore it I saw that Corey thing two weeks ago a week ago didn't say nothing about it. I'll clear up everything I want to clear up Like you I'm I'm hating on a they say no gay That's different now come on the last time I attempted to do that just it went so bad that I said I'm wasn't gonna do it It's a good to do what?

what my intentions was. But Lauren, it's Women's History Month. It is Women's History Month. It is Women's History Month.

You came in here and it's like you did something totally different. The first thing that you spoke to was the things in the comments.

I feel like we're having a behind the scenes meeting on air, which is kind of cool, but let's go to commercial or something and then come back. Well, the whole thing is we need a resolution, bro. We'll take some phone calls, but like I'm resolution based and not argument based, so let do the phone. We need a resolution, bro. We'll take some phone calls, but like I'm resolution based in that Argument base. So let's shut up. You know number one beige-raised person.

All right, so yesterday Monique posted to her Instagram an open letter to Tyler Perry. Now this open letter comes in response to Tyler Perry speaking at Angie Stone's funeral and calling out the industry for taking Angie Stone's money and asking where is her money? So she starts the letter off and saying, you know, we would like to give our heartfelt condolences to Angie Stone's family and friends. Sister Angie, we stand on the shoulders of our elders and ancestors like you. So she's paying her respects to Angie Stone first. Then she addresses Tyler Perry. She says, Dear Tyler Perry, I recently watched your heartfelt speech at

Angie Stone's funeral, where you expressed frustration over her mistreatment by the music industry. It struck me and my husband Sydney, but also made us reflect on some unsettling discrepancies in your actions towards me. Number one, you expressed anger over Angie's mistreatment yet you labeled me difficult to work with despite never having worked with me. How can you condemn poor treatment of others when you've imposed the same on me? We have audio admitting you were wrong. Number two, you ask, where's the money she's owed?

Well, where's my public apology that you promised in 2016? The false narrative you perpetuated helped blackball me, costing me tens of millions. Where's the restitution for that? Number three, you mentioned you're being tired of us not receiving the benefits we deserve. Yet you asked me to promote pressures for free without a contract or compensation which highlights your double standard. And number four, you said we should be careful in how we treat the children of God. As a man of faith, where's your responsibility to act with love and truth?

You promised me an apology years ago, but it's yet to come. Unlike the music industry, which you rightly criticize, we have audio documentation of your actions. Shouldn't you be held accountable too? And then she closed it out. She mentioned Mark 836. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?

We await your response with love and respect, Monique and Sydney. Where's Monique from? Baltimore. One thing about ladies from Baltimore, they gonna take it to the internet. Okay, every single time you don't even got a word about it, they gonna bring it to the internet. I? Every single time you don't even got a word about it. They don't bring it to the lock to the internet I thought they squashed that though. I'm not sure no

between her and Tyler party and Lee Daniels, that's Yeah Following a funeral. I mean I Was a funeral post. Yeah. Yeah, I think the timing, I get what she was trying to do. And you know, she fell away, she could fell away, but the timing and like what she used to come into the conversation, I think I was like, man,

that wasn't the lane for that at all. I mean, but would there ever be a right time? Because you know, when somebody dies. But the good brother Tyler Perry said it at a funeral. So she, even if she referenced it a month or two from now, it would still be what he said at the funeral. Yeah, but they just laid it to rest a couple of days ago. So it's coming from a funeral post.

That's diabolical. And then she put it in, she got the condolences that she's given in the same post as her kind of still challenging Tyler with it. Word is he had on a silk scarf when she wrote that letter to it, it was like a silk scarf. First of all, you're talking about my scarf that I worn live last night?

What are you talking about? I know, I'm just saying what the word is, I don't know. Sources say, sources say, sources say, I don't know. Whatever. Well, yeah. All right, so next we're going to move to a penny. What's wrong with you? Why are you so frazzled? I wasn't frazzled. I'm trying to make sure my next story is good

because we didn't know that we've been all over the place this morning. We kind of didn't know where we was going at one point. So yesterday. Oh, God, you right over there. Yes, muscle head. So yesterday on on Instagram, Young Young Emma's ex-girlfriend posted a video of Young Emma. And in this video, Young Emma is visibly weak. There's IVs in her arm and people were like, why would you post this? She was sick. She was near death. She was really sick.

That was this week? She was sick? No, no, no. Remember when Young Emma was going through all that stuff? Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. He's really sick. That was this week. She was sick. No Yeah, so in the video you see young may you know her eyes are yellow there's IVs as I mentioned And her ex posted it saying that you know, this was during one of the youngest points of young ma's life In her career lowest point lowest point. I'm sorry. Yes lowest points in young ma's like what did I say youngest points? Sorry lowest points Young and May's life and the ex-girlfriend was talking about how she had to step in as the role of the caretaker as Young and May battled all these health issues. But then their relationship fell apart because of jealousy and control issues and all these

things, right? So Young and May, because people were like, I mean, even if y'all didn't work out, why would you post this? Yeah, you don't do that. That's not cool. If you helped her during that time, you- Excuse me? Yo. What? How dare you don't do that. Cool. And if you helped her during that time, you excuse me. Yo, like, come on now. That's crazy. That's crazy work. Well, young and they had to come online

and respond. Let's take a listen. I mean, I know y'all see this video going on going around on the blogs, somebody out, you know, once upon a time was with posting me in the hospital at a vulnerable moment Something that I've owned already has been two years. I was two years ago You know I mean I had an unfortunate situation in my life and I got sick, you know, I mean, I'm a human We go through things we make mistakes and for me. I just didn't expect this person to do that But you know it is what it is is I don't even know what to say. All I can do is let God handle it. Just moving with God, man I just I just feel like that was just so foul though I don't even know how a person can have the urge or willing to want to even do something like that

That just speaks a lot and I just never knew this was her character. That's crazy So what what did she do? What was the point? Like what was she trying to convey with that message of even putting those old Videos out of her being sick. Well, what I should cheat or like what that young and made she don't show it Like what I took from it is like maybe she is upset about however They're broke out their breakup and their fallout happened and I don't know it seemed right because it was just like I held you down She's like I held you down. I went at your lowest. I wiped all that I cleaned you up you couldn't even wipe yourself like it was one of them things but I feel like you know like if a person is at that point in their life

where you have to do all that regardless of how y'all fall out afterward like I just suppose that I wouldn't even be able to sit with myself she tried to embarrass younger me that's what she tried to do wouldn't be able to sit myself something like that well that is the latest for the hour. Okay. I think this one, Lauren. Yes, I think we should take some phone calls from the listeners.

Because like I said earlier, you said you wanted a resolution, right? Yeah, a resolution, of course. Let's see what the listeners think. Let's see what the resolution should be. Okay. All right, so no donkey. Be honest with you, I didn't prepare a donkey this morning

because I was too busy laughing. Lauren's running from Justin to the elevator and you and you... That's not... She was trying to hurry up and close it. No, I wasn't. We're not running. That's not. We're not running.

Because in these heels, baby, it wasn't normal. No, I had my slippers on this morning. It was a little awkward. They pulled up together this morning. It was very awkward. Okay. It was very awkward. Lauren got to the elevator first.

She saw Bishop behind us and she started hitting the elevator. She pressed the closed door. Okay. She got on the elevator. She said, can't borrow me. The little kinky boots comes in here. She's like, uh uh. Envy, kinky boots over there steaming because you know he's going to keep things on his chest until somebody pulls it off.

No. So Jes was like, get it off your chest. So he got it off his chest. So you know now we back settled. And you have no feelings whatsoever. I could care less. You get so unbothered. You know me.

No I don't. Well they do. Envy worked with me for 15 years. Okay. Unmoved, unbothered. So I'm bothering you know me no, I don't What they do? Work with me for 15 years, okay unmoved unbothered. All right, I love and I genuinely do y'all know that I think both of y'all know I genuinely love both of y'all Me now, I think y'all not think y'all know that. Mm-hmm. Okay, yes Okay, she like yeah, right Just know me longer than Lauren just know I love her okay, we got ten years in all right so

Yes, yeah, all right. Well, whatever we'll take your calls when we come back 800 105 1 you'll love me sometimes Some breakfast club good morning. You're checking out the breakfast club Morning, everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious. I, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Roses here as well. Charlamagne usually does Donkey of the Day here.

I didn't prepare it, it was too much going on this morning. You know what I mean? Because of a young lady named Jessica Robin Moore, okay? And you need to answer the phone for your mama too. No, yo. Yes. I can't believe it. Yes. I call her leaving. Yes.

Okay. But you know, we just having some family discussions up here on the radio this morning. That's all. Yep. And we're taking your phone calls. Hello. Who's this? My name is Key.

Call from Atlanta. Your phone sounds so crazy. Can you take us off Bluetooth or speaker, whatever you got us on? Can you hear me? I can hear you now. Good morning. Yes, this is Key. Caller from Atlanta.

Hey, good morning. What's your thoughts? Okay? So first of all, I only started back listening to the show because of Jed. Congratulations on your baby Jed. Thank you, Barry. Um From the get-go, yes, the whole situation has been awkward. Y'all not gonna sit up there and play Jed Like she didn't come back from the penitentiary and have somebody in her seat that just would not get up or all that even in a first situation like, okay, we got somebody new, we gonna introduce on top of Jess,

she came back and the girl took a lift. How she supposed to feel? Well, you don't know the whole story. Tell us, you wanna fill in some blanks, Jess? I wanna fill in blanks? Well, no, I was just gonna say, number one, Jess picked Lauren. Yes, I did.

When I'm on maternity leave, I want Lauren and then you know, like But but even when I say that it's like I don't want it to come off like oh the only reason that she's even You know, you know what I'm saying? Like I just don't want to seem like I'm But you didn't make a choice and I did but you know, it's just it was just weird You know I'm saying how when I came back like this young lady just say when I came back it was just like all right if she's expected to be the fourth host or whatever yo let's bring her in on that's creating her own segment that's legitimately do it less less officiated you found me like why is it only when I

gotta talk or when I you know on my segment and things like that you know it could have been done a whole nother way it could have been bought to me while I was even on maternity leave that we that we wanted to bring her in permanently to be on the show and not just a producer I don't think I don't think we I don't know I don't think we even came to that conclusion she was supposed to be from the time y'all auditioned we just was gonna be the host. She was supposed to be a producer. From the time y'all auditioned, Jess was going to be the host, Lauren was going to be the senior news producer. That was always the plan. You know, when you came back from attorney to leave and Lauren was here as the senior news producer, when you started to bring her

in to do some of the litigious stuff. Yeah, the court things, yes. I thought the segment was just evolving naturally. Like I thought y'all were having those conversations. Y'all was putting that together. I didn't know it was an issue. But in real time are you realizing that like they're possibly, not possibly, but there should have been some more guidelines laid out like structured stuff. Yeah once everybody figured out exactly what it is they wanted to do. Yeah but I think even if like, because for me as the person that like I'm watching all this in real time, I know just feels away. I don't know what's happening either. I was also like,

okay, what's happening? But I was just going with the flow. But I felt like going with the flow made it kind of like was like, like, like when you got a bruise and you keep touching it. So it's like you it's hurting more. And then we just not talking about it. But like, I didn't know what else to do, because we ain't talking about it. But like I didn't know what else to do because we ain't talking about it. And that's figuring it out. And when I realized you didn't know what was going on either because we had a conversation. That's when I told you, REO my anger is misplaced.

Like I'm mad at her when I shouldn't be mad at her. Like and it was made to look like that from the jump. And it was just like, it was no coming back from even when I like being started being cool with cool with her like are you know what? No, she you know and she's hey She's helpful and she helps with questions with interviews and all that helps conduct the like the news and the details and stuff I'm like alright, but it's still no communication now. I'm just cool with her, but we still don't know what's going on It's just it's just weird isn't being in a weird space with it.

Well, how do we resolve this? Because we got to get it to AJ and Tressa. I think we figured it out in real time, you know what I'm saying? But I do want Jess and Lauren to know that I think when it comes to that latest with Lauren segment, they can work together. And Jess, you are the third co-host on The Breakfast Club

for a reason. And we are going to continue to restructure this show and you know Turn this show and what it needs to be so you can really get your stuff And you know we've had these conversations I think that was part of the meetings that we've been having behind the scenes that we've been talking about and making sure everybody feels Comfortable everybody see it is seen everybody's heard That's what I think part of those conversations were and I think happy and I think y'all both got scrimps You know like what Jess does Lauren don't do what Lauren does just don't do and I think part of those conversations were. And I think y'all both got scrimps. You know, like what Jess does, Lauren don't do.

What Lauren does, Jess don't do. And I think that compliments, you know, I think y'all compliment each other very, very, very, very well. And I think both of y'all can have so much success on this show, but we got to stop letting the internet dictate how we move. Cannot listen to the comments, cannot listen to

the people on YouTube creating these narratives because they gonna pit each other, they to pit y'all against each other every chance they get until they can't no more. But I told that to Jess and I told that to Lauren and I tell that to anybody up here, they try to pit me and Charlamagne against each other a million and one times. They did? Yeah, yeah. You just hunt me more, but they try as much as possible, but they will try.

They will try to pit y'all two against each other. They'll try to pit me and you against each other, Jess. They'll try to put Jess and Charlamagne. That's what the internet does. Half the time I don't even think it's a face but we can't let those people online dictate what we do. Like, F those people. Like, we got to really just open our arms to the people that support us, that love us, that love listening to us, that enjoy, that know the show. The rest of these people just gonna poke just for that. That's why I love having this conversation

today on the radio. And in a way, what Jeff did last night, I get it. And now all the awkwardness is gone. It's all out in the open. It's all out on Front Street. You can't use that against us no more. All right. Yeah.

All right, well, when we come back, AJ Johnson and Tressa Smallwood will be joining us. They have a new show on the BET Plus. It's called Fighting to Be Me, The Dwayne Curry Story. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. It's a movie. Oh, a movie, I'm sorry.

See, she knows that. I met Dwayne Curry yesterday. She was here. Okay, all right. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club,

Lauren LaRosa here for Jess and we got some special guests joining us this morning. We have AJ Johnson, she's back, good morning. Good morning. And we have Tressa Smallwood, welcome. Good morning everyone. How you feeling this morning ladies? Listen, I'm in New York, it's cold as I'm gonna what but I'm here. It ain't that bad, if it had came a week ago it would have been like 30 20 degrees

You know when you're bouncing between LA and Africa anything under 70 is like I might go outside Okay, last time I saw you was in Ghana. Yes, but you live in there now. Well, I was back and forth then Oh, you just didn't know it cuz it was December and everybody was hanging out Okay, I've been back and forth living and working since 2019 Wow Yeah, yeah And I know that you guys are here to talk about fighting to meet the Dwayne Curry story. And Trissa, I know you're new to the platform.

Wanna introduce yourself in Megamind Media, what you do? Yes, absolutely. So I'm Trissa Azaral-Smallwood. I'm CEO of Megamind Media, an independent movie production company that's making our own way in the industry. So where DEI gets cut cut we don't get cut. There you go. Who is Dwayne Curry for the people who aren't familiar?

Dwayne Curry. Yeah you have a close relationship with Dwayne. Well Dwayne is a very well renowned and respected Hollywood stylist from the 90s and honestly not only is he known for styling celebrities like Lisa Ray and Yo-Yo and Missy Elliott, he was one of my first stylists right after House Party when I hit. But you know, in the 90s, being gay and being in that world wasn't necessarily as accepted as it is now. And so, Dwyane looking for love and acceptance turned to a life of crime. And so, yeah.

And so, in all of that celebrity and accolade, he became a convicted felon for credit card fraud. And so now she, in the trans community, is now an advocate, has done time, and is trying to teach the more visible community in the LGBTQ+, you know, how to survive and thrive, actually, without it being criminal. Right.

She's trans, right? Trans. Yes, trans. And to be clear, you know, a lot of people are trying to figure out fully trans in terms of having the sexual, you know, assignment. No. But she is trans but not without the sexual, without the assignment. That's right. Now I gotta ask, you attended and you graduated Spellman in Atlanta. Now you're also a member of Delta Sigma Theta have been for years now You heard when we were talking about the the young man that lost his life by so glad you're bringing us out Go ahead wanted you to break that down. We were talking about should they still be doing hazing at this point? Okay, how much time we got?

Yeah, so let's start with the fact that I pledged at 17 on one of the youngest undergraduate pledges at Spelman at the time. And then through my my stay at Spelman I became vice president of the chapter, which then gives me Dina pledges as a new when the new line comes in and Dina probates. The difference between those is Dina pledges is you you bring the new pledges in and see them through the process. Dina probates means you carry them through the end of the process because it's a process. And so having those two positions, I can comfortably say that hazing is a personal thing. It's not an organization thing. When I say that, meaning if you've been hazed before and you want to interject that on a new pledgee, that's a personal thing. My pledge period was no walk

in the park. It was not. And so one of the reasons I wanted to become Dean of Pledges is to say that's not necessary. And again, we're talking about undergraduate pledging. So when you are 25 and 26, and you're no longer even in the school and you're still coming back to be part of the pledge period, that's also a personal thing. Like, what are you missing and why are you coming back to inflict possibly deadly fatal force? If you're in the institution and you're a member of the chapter, nine times out of 10, you're being raised in the way that the chapter is being raised.

And so nowadays, hazing is not allowed. So again, I'm still going to, there's something personal, a personal vendetta that somebody's exercising in that. But you know, sometimes people will say that the graduate people that's in the fraternity of Sorori are not looked at the same as the people that actually quote unquote pledged. Grad chapter. Grad chapter.

Well, that's true. And then we also, some organizations in the D9 also have honorary members. Now what I say as having pledged is what's most important to me is the union and the camaraderie of me having had line sisters. Some of my best friends to this day, as separate as our lives have gone, kids, no kids, teacher, I'm in Hollywood, we're still connected because we helped each other through a trying process as we were teenagers.

You're not getting that in graduate. And you're definitely not going through that when you're in an honorary. So I think we have to value, in undergrad, we have to value the truth of the process and know that it doesn't have to be physically abusive, especially when it can be fatal. All right, we got more with AJ Johnson and Tressa Smallwood when we come back. Fighting to be me the Dwen Corey story the movie on BET plus we'll talk to them all it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club

we're still kicking it with AJ Johnson and Tressa Smallwood the new movie fighting to be me the Dwen Corey story is out right now. Charlamagne? What's this role preparing you for next? You know, I've always wanted to do Flojo's story. Ooh, I've been hearing about that forever. Yeah, and so- Somebody had the right to it, I forgot who had it.

Yeah. I can't remember- We have to go back to that, because John Singleton and I were trying to do it right after Baby Boy. And then, you know, his focus shifted and we just didn't get it done. But again, not even just the biopic of the athlete, but just the life of an athlete at that time and what it took to be so great and to still be a woman and to be so courageous

in her fashion. It's like what we know, we see Serena doing it, we see other women doing it, but Flo Joe started it. And so I like those kinds of stories of let's know who we, where we come from. That's the other side. I like going back into our history so that people don't think it's just happening. You know, we are, we are, we got a bad history behind us and I want to tell those stories too.

Yeah. It was, I think Tiffany Haddish, I feel like Tiffany Haddish had it. Yeah, Tiffany Haddish, well she was supposed to play. She was starring and producing in a biopic about Flojo. I don't know what happened. And then I didn't hear anything else? Probably because I'm supposed to do it. Okay. That was back in 2021.

Or me and Tiffany. I mean, again, it's collaboration. So, I mean, I don't know, but that's what I'm saying. I mean, I want to get that story done. She was very instrumental, Flojo, I mean, was very instrumental when I was little in my work ethic and just taking care of my body. My physical existence now is a large result of her. Question, would you ever do a story about polygamy? Hey, it's A Martinez. The news can feel like a lot on any given day, but you can't just ignore Las Noticias when important world changing events are happening.

September 1979. Virginia's top prison band, Edge of Daybreak, is about to record their debut album, Behind Bars, in just five hours. Okay, we're rolling. One, two, three, four.

It's a story about the liberating power of music, the American justice system, and ultimately, second chances. Listen to Soul Incarcerated on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But being being the woman who has who does in it. Yeah. Um, are you devil dabble? Yeah. How is that? Amazing. Oh, amazing. Um, but stealing your thunder. Neil, thank you. The guy now well, you know, listen, hold it for a thunder because he's doing it for a whole different reason.

Let me say this as we're bringing it up. My space in it, honestly, is because since I've been exposed to different cultures and different religious and spirit practices around the world, my thing is I haven't found a lot of men in America who are really appealing to me spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally. So my thing is I've got the athlete that I hang out with, I've got the spirit that I pray with, you know, I've got the person that's adventurous that I travel with. So it's more lifestyle than it is the sexual connection for me.

It's more like I'm not in a relationship. So I have more than one man I spend time with. So whatever you don't get over here, you can get here. Yeah. Now my soul is actually monogamous. But because I can't find that, I don't stop. Did you decide to do double and polygamy after that breakup you mentioned that took you to Africa?

It was before that. Before that? Years ago. It was before that. Wow. Okay. It was way before that. Before that. Years ago. It was before that. Wow. Okay. It was way before that. And so me having a relationship after that was me trying monogamy again.

And a large part of me was bored. You know, intellectually I was bored. Again, I want to travel the world. I wasn't finding a lot of African American men who are building their lives to do that. I even say now when I meet men, I say, you know, I carry five currencies on any given day. How many currencies do you have? Oh, God, and that's not a flex. Yeah, but it's intimidating.

Oh, well, see, here we go with that. Money up in one place. I got to go anyway. Yeah, but I mean, think about in the pandemic, when the when the American passport couldn't get us out of here, right? That's real. I got to leave you because I got to I got another passport, I got other currencies, even without the passport. I wasn't even a dual citizen until 2022. In 2020, I went to three different countries because I had cash. I was prepared. I tell you, I got the email. So I had cash in the currency.

So, I mean, again, this is just my life, right? It's not like I'm trying to say, I don't want an American man. I'm saying my my international life my global options take me into different cultures I mean would be cool if that man had the same just on the other side if he had a woman for this a woman For that woman for that and you for travel as long as he's okay with me doing the same thing. We're gonna have fun I'm not wild with mine. I'm not it's not something that I promote because it's not about that Yeah, it's it's about me making sure that I'm full and what that means as a global woman woman Again she is intimidating Here's a question. Here's a question real quick for you, too

So I know I know you have women but how do you feel about that woman perspective? Would you allow it? No, would you allow it? No. Would you allow it? Allow? I don't know how can you stop a woman from doing what she wants to do? But how do you feel? Would you be comfortable? Would you stay with your wife?

Oh no no. I wouldn't personally. Can you tell me why? I'm too insecure. Okay. That's fair. That's fair. I'm glad that you admitted that.

Isn't that great? That's very vulnerable. I'm so proud of you. I like it. Look at the eyebrows. I'm so proud of you. I like it. Look at the eyebrows. I've been exploring why.

It's for the same, part of it is probably for what? MV said what you wouldn't just say that out loud. I've been married for 28. I've been married for 26 years. I guess we would have to have the conversation like because you said you have all of these different guys for different things. Right. So what is it that I'm not fulfilling?

I think that conversation has to happen first to decide. To see what it is. See, I love that. But if it's something that you can't fulfill or you're not interested in, do you feel like she's supposed to acquiesce and compromise? Or are there concessions? There's that compromise versus concession, my devotion. Or do you feel like there's concessions that can be made so that you're both happy and fulfilled?

That's tough, man. You all have been in long-term relationships. Mountains and valleys, mountains and valleys. No relationship was perfect. But for me, I started my career so young that trying to find that kind of relationship in Hollywood, you know, I wanted it, I couldn't find it. You know, at that time, everybody that could have been a potential partner, we were all trying to

get our foot in the door. And so whether it's athlete, producer, director, talent, it wasn't happening for me like that. But I still wanted my life. So it's not so much I want to make sure it's clear even for the people listed. It's like it's not like I'm just saying I want more than one man. That's why I said my heart and my soul is monogamous. But if I can't have that, then what do I do? That's fair. Like until you get it. Yeah, because we found a couple of potentials for you.

But then we had to boot them out. Is it because you're AJ like you are they see you and it's like oh shoot I watch now they ask you movie credits and things behind the scenes that you don't know. You know what I'll tell you it helps dating internationally because a lot of the international men don't know or they don't really care because they're of a certain financial status themselves a certain social status themselves and so I I'm like, are you being listened? We gotta travel boo. We gotta travel. And so it's not important to their culture, you know, and so you know, they acknowledge it and they respect it. But we're not connecting on that

level. We're connecting more on spiritual level on what are we doing for the country, which is where I'm at in my own self. Oh, hey, there you have it.
