Good morning, Lauren LaRosa. Good morning, good morning, good morning. So let's get into this front page news. A federal judge is giving the Trump administration's lawyers until 12 noon today to provide more information on deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act that was conducted this past weekend. Now the administration could also invoke the state's secret doctrine, the U.S. Department of Justice, to provide more information on deportation flights under the Alien Enemies

Act that was conducted this past weekend. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news.

So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. So let's get into this front page news. deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act that was conducted this past weekend. Now, the administration could also invoke the state's secret doctrine that allows the government to block discourse of information if it feels it would harm national security. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg once answers on the timing of the flights that he ordered to be turned around on Saturday. The White House has pushed back and said that the judges, the judge continues to beat a

dead horse over the situation. Meanwhile, President Trump once again went after the judge, even after Supreme Court Justice John Roberts said calling for the judges impeachment was not appropriate. So the White House says the Trump administration will continue with mass deportations. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said they will comply with court orders, but claim the judges are undermining the will of the American public. Let's hear more from White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. The judges in this country are acting erroneously.

We have judges who are acting as partisan activists. They are trying to dictate policy from the president of the United States. They are trying to clearly slow walk this administration's agenda and it's unacceptable. As the president said last night, we will continue to comply with these court orders. We will continue to fight these battles in courts. So Levis said this is a continuation of the lawfare that President Trump faced while he was also campaigning. What do you guys think?

Any thoughts? I'm just glad that they're complying with the court order. You know, I mean, that does let you know that it seems like democracy still got a pulse. So they say. But we will see what happens with this judge and this situation as of noon today. So switching gears to other foreign affairs, President Trump says they are very much on track to putting an end to the Ukraine and Russia war. Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky for about an hour yesterday and said it was a very good call. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said the call was another step forward toward ending the war in Ukraine. Let's hear more from Levitt. The leaders agreed Ukraine and America will continue working together to bring about a

real end to the war and that lasting peace under President Trump's leadership can be achieved. The two leaders also agreed on a partial ceasefire against energy. Technical teams will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to discuss broadening the ceasefire to the Black Sea on the way to a full ceasefire. In a truth social post, Trump said the call was focused on what he and Russian President Putin talked about so they could align both Ukraine and Russia in terms of what they're both asking for. Now Putin and Trump agreed to a limited ceasefire yesterday which uh... includes halting attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure now

furthermore on that uh... deal of the u.s. is reportedly asking for ukraine's largest power plant as part of the ceasefire deal with russia ukraine in is a leader is a lindsey says that during this call uh... trump talked about one power plant which is under russian occupation this call, Trump talked about one power plant which is under Russian occupation. The nuclear power plant station. You got a scrub mug in? You okay over that?

No, I don't know. I don't speak Russian is all. The nuclear power plant station that is at the largest in Europe, but the White House said in a statement that the US is taking over the power plant or if the US would take over the power Plant that it would be the best protection and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure So they're less likely to attack it if the US has a hand in it essentially question What is what is a little ceasefire like we're not gonna shoot on Mondays and Wednesdays like what is a little ceasefire sounds crazy No kind of so what they're saying right here is that it's gonna be energy infrastructure

So the other things may be off limits, you know, they might be they might want to attack Um, I don't I don't know. I don't want to give any ideas, but it could be water. It could be It could be cyber. It could be something else But energy just have a ceasefire like stop all the way s and let's get it together Yeah, that's not like let me just put the tip in that's what it's all and let's get it together. Yeah, that sound like let me just put the tip in. That's what it sound like. It's saying I'm not gonna mess you up.

I'm not gonna mess up none of your buildings. I'm not gonna mess up some of these things. But this over here, oh yeah. I do wanna see, I just wanna see how much does Ukraine have to give up for a ceasefire, whether it's a little ceasefire or a big ceasefire. What does that deal look like for them? Yeah, well right now it's looking like their power plant

that is currently under Russian occupation anyway. but we will I'll keep of course I'll keep you guys posted on every update that comes our way regarding this situation.

Hey, it's Amartinez. 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. 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. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into Prohibition, the government is starting to go,

okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula Six. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor, and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it.

They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did prohibitions war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to Snafu on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you? Why is my cat not here? Am I going and she's eating my lunch? Or if hypnotism is real?

You will use a suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. What's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new iHeart original podcast, Science Stuff. Join me, Jorge Cham, as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to about animals, space, our brains, and our bodies. Questions like, can you survive being cryogenically frozen? This is experimental.

This means never work for you. What's a quantum computer? It's not just a faster computer. It performs in a fundamentally different way. Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you can go swimming? It's not really a safety issue. It's more of a comfort issue.

We'll talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy to understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to science stuff on the iHeart Video app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Love at first swipe? I highly doubt it.

What's your biggest red flag? No, no, no. What's your ultimate green flag? These days, reality TV and social media have us thinking love is instant. We're marrying strangers at first sight, we're finding love through walls, or we're even judging people by balloon pops. But what really makes a relationship blast? On this episode of Dope Labs, poet, author, and relationship expert Young Pueblo breaks

down the psychology and biology of loving better. And he provides eye-opening insights and advice that we all need. It's a big realization moment that you should not be postponing your happiness. Like, your greatest happiness is not necessarily going to, like, come from a relationship. Your partner, they should add to your happiness, but your happiness is really coming from within you. Listen to Dope Labs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I was joking. That's a crazy role play though. And Barack is also black and white. You Dominican and white. Let's get to the latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of

everything. But we're still in the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Alrighty, so Diddy, the attorney, Tony Busby, who filed all of those civil cases against him, those sexual assault related civil cases, is being removed from at least 15 of those cases. So we talked about in here attorney Tony Busby having to apply for admission, which is like asking the court for permission to practice within a certain jurisdiction. This jurisdiction is the Southern District of New York.

That's where all of these like case situations are happening right now. Because he did not do so properly. He was denied. This is like just some backstory. So now because he has all these other cases that he's been you know, they've been moving and actively working within he is not going to be able to practice within those cases. What will happen is there will be a local attorney who's already you know, in the jurisdiction that will continue on with the cases. So the cases are not dropped as of now but Tony Busby is not with the cases. So the cases are not dropped as of now, but Tony Busby is not on the cases. This, if I'm Diddy's attorney, is a very big, oh, hey, this is happening.

Judge, come look over here because they can try and argue that, you know, tech, like they're on a technicality. You know, he violated the rules. Like, so why are we even still here? Why are we having conversations? Regardless, we can replace the attorney his his rights were not honored by this attorney not moving away He was supposed to move so so can this be thrown out like completely? I think you could definitely ask it's up to a judge to determine whether this other Attorney had anything to do with what did or didn't happen before Busby was practicing within these cases But I would definitely accept me the first thing I would do hand out like yo, what's up? Yeah, it's not enough though that man judge I was gonna say or will the judge say hey the clients didn't know the clients is hired an attorney and

The attorney f'd up so they can move on to a different attorney right that can actually practice in that part of New York That's what they're already done that too But that attorney had to know he wasn't able to practice in New York City when he filed those cases and the judicial system Shouldn't have accepted him shouldn't the judicial system have to have some responsibility to know that what't able to practice in New York City when he filed those cases. And the judicial system shouldn't have accepted him. Shouldn't the judicial system have to have some responsibility to know that this guy. The what system? The what system?

Judicial. What system is that? What'd I say? Say it slow. It's the list. Ju-dicial. When you slow it down, we got it. I don't even wanna talk to you.

Say it one more time. One more time. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu.

Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. The G unit system shouldn't have accepted him. Okay, all right. But they should be checks and balances, right? Yeah, but I think within those checks and balances, there is a certain act of just good faith if you're an attorney that you know what to do. This is a very minute, like a very beginner mistake. I really don't understand how this happened.

I keep saying that because he's been practicing law for a very long time. So I think- And let the record show Anthony didn't care that uh, you know He couldn't practice law because all he was trying to do was get somebody to settle. That's literally all this was Let me throw all of these cases out there and get this get this person to settle. He don't even care He's gonna try out. Nope. Yep Like Sallie Mae said he just thought they were gonna tap out and just that's it to the side He didn't think they were gonna try. Yeah, well, in other, I guess, Puff-related news, Diddy-related news, there is a report

out right now. I remember that the song that we listened to that Nerve West is on and Diddy opens up the song. So there are reports right now that Puff is saying that, like, he didn't, Diddy is saying he didn't know that he was being recorded during that and he's kind of like a catalyst in this whole like back and forth with uh Kim and Kanye and like basically like I got enough going on why would you even throw me in this Kanye but I think at this point right now anything Kanye like if you if you're talking to Kanye on the phone if you're

whatever you gotta know like there's going to be something why would you trust a conversation with him anyway he has a lot going on I don't know if you know again that's reported it's not like a direct statement from puffs team or anything like that. But when I saw that, I'm like, well, I mean, Kanye has a lot going on right now. But maybe Diddy doesn't know because he's behind bars. No, he know everything. I think he's very well connected, staying connected, you know, because he knows when stuff come out about him.

So I know he got people telling him or he probably has a phone in there, a tablet, something where he's keeping up. Yeah, because that call leaked and it was like Puff telling Kanye, like, get back in the studio,, a tablet, something, where he's keeping up. Yeah, because that call leaked, and it was like, puff, you know, telling Kanye, like, get back in the studio, do the music, whatever, whatever. So maybe he thought it was a private conversation. Mm-hmm. And then, you know, also, Kanye news right now.

Charlamagne, you all right? What? You hate when we talk about Kanye. I just, I be running my mouth. This is wild and crazy, though. Yeah, so, wait, the Jay-Z stuff? Yes. OK, yes.

So yesterday, we didn't get a chance to get to this, but I'm bringing this back around because there are reports that because Kanye got online and tweeted about Jay-Z's kids and, you know, calling them the R word, Kim, at this point, is starting to take action legally to really make sure she has her full custody situation put together so that she can kind of like, know better. I don't want to say better but she she just has a lot more levy and say so when it comes to her kids and how they deal with Kanye. Reportedly that Jay-Z situation was the last straw for her. I do know this morning there was also a story that came out on TMZ did a story about how I guess Northwest was visiting Kanye and

Andrew Tate and some other people were headed to the house. So Kim abruptly ended that visit because she's like, I don't want my, my kids and my daughter around Andrew Tate. So I'm coming over to my baby. I don't know what's going on with Kanye. Y'all like he's yesterday. He posted these videos as well and I'm like, this is giving me an episode. Like I don't, I don't be liking to give him that like, Oh my God, he's going crazy. But yesterday was, I was like this is giving me an episode like I don't I don't be liking to give him that like oh my god he's going crazy but yesterday was I was like wow but when does it stop he doesn't have any friends around him he doesn't have anything around him because when you start talking about people's

kids you probably won't get fire slapped out your ass right you shouldn't be talking about people's kids he doesn't have a manager a team a publicist a friend anybody around him a cousin uncle nobody around him, a cousin, uncle, nobody around him. Enough is enough. I was going to say, is this crash out or is this normal Kanye? What surprises us about anything that he does? Talking about people, kids though, that seems like it's... I definitely understand, but yeah.

Because nothing else is working. So he wants attention and we're giving him what he wants attention in. When he doesn't get the attention He wants he just says crazy and crazy and stuff He's a boring person and it's sad that a man who has displayed the type of artistic genius that Kanye has Has been reduced to an internet troll who sends out mean tweets for attention. Yeah, nothing else is working No, what can get our attention Beyonce and Jay-Z? Yeah in the kid that we never see you know what I'm saying So it's like that's weird. That's weird. Why would you it's a baby?

I mean either babies to them but ignore Kanye until he releases his own sex tape because I promise you that if we stop giving Them attention he's gonna get very desperate and he's gonna put out his own sex tape and it's gonna be him and him on the sex Tape, he'll be on this side of my themself have you thought about yes I have in your mind yes I have we went we just got there yes I have I've thought about this I've thought about if we ignore him and we starve him out he's gonna get to the point where he's gonna get so desperate we're gonna release his own sex tape and it's just gonna be him on there by himself trying to suck his own peepee well it's very graphic you've had this dream you have put this together.

You are the creative director of this. We glad to know you be like, why we still talking about him? Why he on your minds? We glad to know how he be on your mind. It's called PZ. PZ sex tape coming soon. Jesus. Yeah, easy. Uh huh. That's what you giving over there. What is happening? No one ever would think about that. But okay. And wrapping this up, I do want to mention though that the when I said Andrew Tate, Andrew and Tristan Tate are these two brothers who were in trouble in Romania and they have like rape allegations on there. Like it's a whole thing. So Kim didn't just go get her kid because a man named Andrew showed up. There's a whole thing with Andrew and Tristan Tate for those who don't know who they are.

Con, you're gonna meet to himself. Watch when that sex tape drop him on this item item himself you're gonna accuse himself of it. Wow. Tim is handling in the court so he can take it there. All right well that's the latest with Lauren. Thank you Lauren. Thank you. All right when we come back we got front page news and then Felicia Rashad will be joining us. So don't go anywhere it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. You're It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Come on Morgan. Yes. Good morning. Let's get into it. So also in foreign affairs, Israeli ground troops are back in Gaza. This comes a day after Israel broke a two-month ceasefire

with extensive airstrikes that have killed hundreds. Israeli defense forces said on Wednesday that a targeted ground operation was focusing on the central and southern Gaza Strip. A Gaza Health Ministry says the airstrikes have killed at least 400 people. Now, former State Department advisor, Aaron David Miller, says this is not good news for the ceasefire agreement that went into effect almost two months ago.

Let's hear more from Aaron David Miller on Gaza. The most likely scenario in fits and starts will be a resumption, Israel's resumption of the war against Hamas in Gaza. The Israelis, I think on one hand you could argue they're pressuring Hamas on the other. I think this is a prelude to the inevitable reality that there's not going to be a phase two negotiation. So Hamas issued a statement saying Israel's ground incursion constitutes a dangerous violation of the signed ceasefire agreement. Israel's military says the it's conducting extensive

strikes against Hamas targets in Gaza. So to Aaron David Miller's point on phase two negotiation saying that there probably will not be a phase two negotiation, well that leaves the question as to what happens if the only other option is war. So I will keep you posted as to what happens and what takes place in regards to those tensions in the Middle East. Elsewhere, a Republican senator says her fellow GOP colleagues are worried to speak out against the Trump administration and Elon Musk because they're scared or fear they'll be, quote, taken down.

Alaska lawmaker Lisa Murkowski told reporters that Republican lawmakers, senators specifically, are afraid of the attacks she and others who have spoken in opposition to Trump have faced. She said that's why you've got everybody just zipped-lipped, not saying a word because they're afraid they're going to be taken down. They're going to be primaried. They're going to be given names in the media. What do you guys think about that?

I wonder if the Republican senators realize they have the power. You know, yes, Elon is the richest man in the world, but he's not an elected official. So there still is this thing called the Constitution in Congress that, you know, Elon and Trump still have to abide by and go through. So, you know, you keep Elon honest by keeping President Trump honest. The senators have to speak out. That's their duty. I don't care if you're a Republican senator, Democrat senator, you are there to keep the

president, you know, on the straight and narrow. are there to keep the president on the straight and narrow. So if you keep the president on the straight and narrow, everybody around him got to stay on the straight and narrow too. So just abide by the laws that are in place. There are laws that are in place for you to do that. Great. All right. Switching gears again, the Federal Reserve is holding interest rates steady despite some

signs that the economy could be slowing. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the Fed is focusing on achieving maximum employment and stable prices. The decision is in line with market expectations and it's the second time the Fed has paused rate cuts since January. Let's hear more from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on his review of the economic outlook. The economy is strong overall and has made significant progress toward our goals over

the past two years. Labor market conditions are solid and inflation has moved closer to our 2% longer run goal. Recent indications, however, point to a moderation in consumer spending following the rapid growth seen over the second half of 2024. Surveys of households and businesses point to heightened uncertainty about the economic outlook. I'm gonna tell you something, I'm just thinking, I bet every now and then Trump looks at the name Jerome Powell and wants him fired simply because the name sounds black. That name sounds like, it sounds like D-E-I, Jerome Powell.

Don't it sound like, don't it sound black? Jerome Powell. But I would say groceries are definitely high. Groceries are high. And they say in LA, particularly, that gas prices are through the roof. I've noticed that some things are higher than definitely gas. Gas is high? Yeah, but not... But see, I travel. So like, in Atlanta last week, you know what I mean? Of course I had my Renault or whatever. Yeah, I know this gas price is higher,

but groceries I know they're higher, but I really, really need them. So I just, I don't really, I just get them. You know what I mean? Yeah, I can't remember the last time I haven't said damn. You know what I'm saying? Like, so it's just like, like when you say, are they higher now, it's just like,

I feel like I've been saying damn for the last You know decade, but I also got four kids So you know period is I mean like door dash like over eats like all of that stuff exactly I just ordered just one thing for me from chick-fil-a last week, and that's like almost $50 see what I'm saying I'm six us in the house, so you ordered something from who will eat you look at you like god damn Six of us in the house. So you order something from Uber Eats, you look at, you're like, god damn, how much stuff costs? I noticed that more than the groceries, for sure. All right, so that's your front page news.

Hey there. All right, when we come back, Felicia Rashad will be joining us. America's mom, actress. How many awards did she win? Has she won an Emmy? In a tone? I don't know what she's won.

I just know that she's a cultural icon and she has been a pillar of black representation for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. You know what I mean? She's a staple in the black community. So, Felicia Rashad, I don't know what to tell you. That's right. We're going to talk to her next.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well.

We got a special guest in the building. We have a woman who has represented, you know people especially black women correctly forever. Miss Felicia Rashad is here. How are you Queen? I'm good. Good to see you. Thank you. And you're here for I mean we're going to talk to you about a lot of stuff but you're making your Broadway directorial debut and purpose. Yes. How did that feel? Well it was wonderful. This is the first time I'm directing in a Broadway theater, but this play and this cast it's a real gift I hope you'll come and see Yeah, yes, I hope you'll come with it Brandon. Jacobs Jenkins is the playwright he received the Tony Award last year for his play appropriate and this

particular production originates in Chicago at the Steppenwolf Theater. And the Steppenwolf has its own ethos, its own legacy for theater as it was formed by actors. So it's ensemble work. And that's the best work. Absolutely. Ensemble work.

But then that spirit, I watched it move through the cast into everybody the designers the production office and staff the theaters everybody it's one we call it collective intention yeah when I think about the thing that you and your sister have done miss Debbie Allen you know I just wonder what did y'all dream of when y'all was kids? When y'all were just two little girls growing up, like, what did y'all play about? What did y'all think about? What did y'all imagine?

We grew up in Houston, Texas. Our father, Dr. Andrew A. Allen, is a dentist. Our mother, Vivian Ayers, is a poet. We grew up with a poet. We grew up with a visionary. We grew up with a visionary. And it was about freedom. It was about realizing your full potential as a human being. Can you imagine things like this?

Teaching little children like this. She would teach us things like, she'd have aphorisms and she'd give them to us to say, the universe bears no ill to me. I bear no ill to it. And we repeat that, the universe bears no ill to me, I bear no ill to it. We just go around, the universe bears no ill to me, I bear no ill to it. When you teach a child like this, be true, be beautiful, be free, she would say things like this to us.

We grew up to be fearless, but not to be stupid. Expand on that, fearless but not stupid. Well. Expand on that. Fearless but not stupid. Well, I mean look, if you see a rattlesnake in front of you, come on. That's right. That's right. Don't be stupid. That's right. That's right. If you see a car coming your way, don't be stupid. Absolutely.

What was your mother's upbringing like? Because she seemed like she was so still and so sure of herself and I'm sure she had you know experienced a lot. My mother grew up in Chester, South Carolina. Hey, I'm from South Carolina. Oh, what part? I was born in Charleston, raised in a small town called Moncks Corner. Oh, you the people. Yeah. Okay. Gigi Gullah. You the people. Okay, so it was a small mill town. Her father was a blacksmith. One of his brothers was a mortician and the other brother was a small mill town. Her father was a blacksmith. One of his brothers was a mortician and the other brother was a barber.

And these businesses had been owned by her grandfather. It was an agricultural community, right? But there was a school there that had been founded by the Presbyterian. There were such, a number of such schools, pardon me, that had been founded by the Presbyterian for the descendants of freed African people throughout the South. This school was Brainerd Institute and in this school there was this classical education administered by black people. My mother was always interested in music. Oh, she was quite the pianist. She's described herself to me once as saying she was a little girl swinging, high on the swing,

looking up at the sky and dreaming, big dream. That's how she grew. Her mother passed away when my mother was nine. She lost her mother. And she said as she sat at her mother's funeral and listened to the things that people were saying, she decided none of them were intelligent enough to tell her anything to do. She would chart her own course at nine. At nine. At nine. And she did. It was not an easy life, but there was this spirit living in her, burning in her, that carried her through. Her first publication is Spice of Dawns. This is a collection of poems. Her second publication, Hawk. If you read Hawk, you will understand how I grew.

This is an inner journey. This is an allegory of freedom which parallels flight through space without a vehicle. It was published 11 weeks before the launch of Sputnik 1. Wow. What did you learn from your father? Because you said he was a dentist. Oh, my father. My father was born on the back porch of was a fireman on the South Pacific Railroad and his mother You know his housekeeping right my grandfather put great emphasis on education And he made sure that all of his children went to college imagine especially in that time imagine it

So my father was a very kind and generous man. He was what was called a man's man. Men loved him and trusted him. He was always the treasurer of the dental association because they said, if Tex takes care of the money, we're in good shape. He was organized. He was very clean. He loved music.

He loved theater. He loved the arts, he came to see any and everything we did, whatever it was, he was very supportive, he was so handsome, he did things that people didn't know he did, he was like that. And in his office, he dealt with people's pain and anxiety every day, and they came to him and trusted him, and when they couldn't pay he'd work out a payment plan for them that was convenient for them they didn't have to go anywhere and incur interest rates he would work that out for him

when my father passed away at his viewing the line stretched out of the mortuary. Wow. that motorcade on the way to the cemetery stretched as far as the eye could see. He was so beloved. That's why I asked, just because you know when you look, like I said, you know, you rate, we look at Felicia Rashad and Debbie Allen, two strong queens, somebody had to raise them, somebody had to instill that in them, and as a father raising four beautiful black girls, you know, I'm just always thinking about, you know, what should me and my wife be instilling in them all the time, just so they grow up to be strong black women.

When you love them. That's what my mom says all the time. When you love them, that's all. If I can remember one great instruction my father gave me, two great instructions, and I was a little girl. He said, never let anybody run over you. I was five years old when he told me that.

Never let anyone run over you. And then later on in life he said, always know the balance of your bank account. And keep your own money. Yeah. Alright, we have more with Felicia Rashad. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well. We're still kicking in with Felicia Richard. Jessi Larius. What can you tell us about, without spoiling it, but what can you tell us about the story of Purpose? Oh, this is wonderful family drama.

And there's humor in it. A young man is recalling a visit to his home. And on this night of nights, so much happens in one night and so much is revealed in one night and some things are resolved. That's all I'm gonna tell you. Oh yeah. Okay.

Except to tell you that cast, Harry Lennox, Latonya Richardson, Jackson, Glenn Davis, Alana Arenas and John Michael Hill. It's the most incredible ensemble that I've ever witnessed. Each one is a master and the inimitable Carrie Young who was Ludibel in Pearly Victoria's last season. That's our cast. People come at the end of the play and have various reactions. One woman said, oh that scene at the dining room table, whoo, that was my family's Thanksgiving

for the past five years. Relatable. Right. And she was not an African-American woman. Wow. People see themselves and that's when we know we are really doing our best work. When you see yourself.

I was gonna say, speaking of doing your best work, I think, you know, for a lot of us and watching you on television, the iconic role of Claire Huxtable and just what that image of, you know, having a mom that was just so graceful and so like everything that you were in that show, do you like in real life, is there ever pressure or was there at the time for you to like upkeep like a certain like I don't know like an image Or like just anything that people try to house No, like so not in your house

But like in real life like in Hollywood and other roles you were taking in like, you know I mean like did you ever feel like cuz I think for us like you are like the perfect like image of like Like so I always wondered if you felt that pressure. No light is not heavy mmm Carry light share light light is not even in interviews back Then you would still have this aim that position the same grace, you know outside of that role I'm gonna tell you the one that sticks with me when you told outside of that role. I'm gonna tell you the one that sticks with me when you told uh Sandra's boyfriend. Alvin. Alvin. That is iconic.

Would you and Dr. Huxtable like some coffee? Coffee? Yeah coffee. You mean you're gonna get it? Yes. You're surprised? I'm sorry Mrs. Huxtable I didn't think you did that kind of thing. What kind of thing? You know serve. Serve whom? Serve him. As in serve your man? Well, yeah. Let me tell you something, Elvis. You see, I am not serving Dr. Huxtable, okay? Okay. That's the kind of thing that goes on in a restaurant. Now I'm going to bring him a cup of coffee just like he brought me a cup of coffee this morning. And that, young man, is what marriage is made of. It is give and take 50-50. And if you don't get it together and drop these macho attitudes,

you are never gonna have anybody bringing you anything, anywhere, any place, anytime ever. And then, when Vanessa wanted to go to Baltimore, wait, I'm Frenchy. You see the wretched. Lying on the floor of some burning building, dying of asphyxia, and you're down in Baltimore, Maryland with the wretched to have big fun. Weren't you Vanessa? Isn't that where you were? Didn't you go down there to Baltimore and have big fun Vanessa? Tell me, didn't

Oh my god when I tell you those are my two like key episodes right well yeah because I'm from Baltimore and I done snuck out the house and you know I done all that. You ain't knocked Vanessa out I got knocked out a few times but. Well she almost did but uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Yes, yes, yes. How do you nail these? Because you obviously pick and choose what you want to do, what your roles. I watched you in the air from Detroit. And the one scene we all in the car, and you were talking about the temptation. Hey, it's Amartinez.

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. 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 iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into Prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't

working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't

fair and was corrupt. So how did prohibitions war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to Snafu on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you? Why is my cat not here? And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real?

You will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new iHeart Original Podcast, Science Stuff. Join me, Jorge Cham, as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to about animals, space, our brains, and our bodies. Questions like, can you survive being cryogenically frozen?

We'll talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy-to-understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to science stuff on the iHeart Video app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Love at first swipe? I highly doubt it. What's your biggest red flag? No, no, no. What's your ultimate green flag? These days, reality TV and social media have us thinking love is instant. We're marrying strangers at first sight. We're finding love through walls.

Or we're even judging people by balloon pops. But what really makes a relationship last? On this episode of Dope Labs, poet, author, and relationship expert, Young Pueblo, breaks down the psychology and biology of loving better. And he provides eye-opening insights and advice that we all need. It's a big realization moment that you should not

be postponing your happiness. Like, your greatest happiness is not necessarily going to like come from a relationship. Your partner, they should add to your happiness, but your happiness is really coming from within you. Listen to Dope Labs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. She slept with the temptation. Yeah. What did you say? She slept with the Temptations? Yeah.

All of them, she said. I'm going to tell you right now, I felt bad watching that. I'm like, I don't think I was supposed to hear her say stuff like that. I thought that was AI. That was a character. I was like, you ain't saying that. You know what's so funny, though?

The first time I saw the clips, they didn't tell me it was from a TV show. Oh. Yeah, he thought. You're like, what the police are doing? I said, what? He's like, he thought that you were up here, like like really reflecting on your life. I said damn she slept, Clay Oxford slept with all the temptation.

No, no, no, that was the character darling, that was the character. As actors we play these roles. When you choose a character like that where it's like it's a lot different than how we've seen you or how I've seen you anyway in different things that you've done what's your thinking behind is it because you want to you want people to see you in the different lights or is it just I just want to do it what she was doing yes that's why I chose the character because of what she was doing yeah people get all caught up in funny stuff yeah what was that woman doing she was rescuing people she was rescuing people Yeah, what was that woman doing? She was rescuing people. She was rescuing people

She was living with the deepest hurt that a mother can have that she lost her child Because she was not paying attention. Mm-hmm. And in her heart, she felt that her child was alive somewhere And this is years later, right? But just in a moment of being too tired and too annoyed and too distracted and wanting to do something else, she turned away and in that instant her child was taken from her. And so she set about saving people. She went on saving people, hoping one day somebody would save her son. So I choose people because I choose a character because of what people are doing. Yeah.

I want to go back to something Jess said. She brought up the Elvin scene, right? Because that was a role. Well, when you schooled Elvin on, I guess, the marital role, how much input did you have on that scene and what were you trying to convey? When you saw it on paper, what did you say to yourself, oh, I know what I can do in this scene to convey a larger message? Oh, I didn't say anything.

I just said the lines. Oh, so it was just as is? It was there. Oh, wow. It was there, but it was the way you deliver it. You was like battle rapping. What? Like, she was written on anything.

She was written on anything. Like, you know. It was so good, I thought it was in private. You know, this is a part of your training as an actor, your language, and how you use it. And there's rhythm and there's pace, and so much is conveyed in that way. If you said it another way, it wouldn't be as effective. Yeah. If you tried to say it like you were singing,

a lazy river, no, it wouldn't work. It wouldn't hit, like Black M river, no it wouldn't work. It wouldn't hit, like Black Momma, no it wouldn't. What would them writers rooms like though? Because it felt like a black experience, would they, black writers, white writers, I mean what would those writers rooms like be? A combination. Okay. The thing was to write a human story, to write about human behavior, the truth of human behavior.

That's what makes comedy and theater real, the truth of human behavior. That's what makes comedy and theater real, the truth of human behavior. You don't have to make something up if you're writing about something that's real. You can take a different perspective on it and your skills as a writer, you know, show up in your language or your, you know, those things that writers do. Yeah. What do you do to channel roles like your role in Fall from Grace like well you're the villain. What do you do to channel those roles? Everybody's a human being right? Yeah. She's just a nasty human being. This is a person who is sick. Her whole perspective is warped. You've got to be sick to mistreat another person. I'm sorry. You cannot be sane and do hurtful things to people. You just,

a sane person won't do that. Do you agree? 100%. Yeah. 100%. Yeah. That's why one of the four agreements is, you, um, don't don't take offense to things Don't take things personal because what you do what somebody does to you is not a reflection to you is something that's going on internally with them

Mm-hmm. It's hard that you know put yourself in that position, but you really got to know that yes Sometimes you want to just clutch somebody Shake them real good. My daddy used to say um, you'll stop taking everything personal personal once you realize that it's a bunch of people out here on cocaine. Whoa. It's kind of true. He's saying it's kind of true. It's like, yo, people out here doing all types of stuff that you have no idea about.

All right. We have more with Felicia Rashad when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with America's mom, Felicia Rashard.

Lauren? I was going to say your time at Howard. I'm a HBCU graduate with the Delaware State. Have you ever heard of them? Yes. Wow. Get them Negao, please. Thank you.

Next. Exactly. Right. I wonder, like, for you, what was, like, one of your favorite things about walking on campus every day with those students as a dean? Walking on campus everywhere. I looked I was reminded of my time there as a student Mm-hmm, and I was reminded of my friends And I was reminded of the things that we did in the time in which we were living as students It was an important time

Dr. King was assassinated in my sophomore year. Wow. Yeah. I watched these things happen. So much unfolded on that campus. I remember when Muhammad Ali came and spoke on the steps of Frederick Douglas Hall. And I remember him standing there and he said, look at me, can't you see that I'm free? And you could. So there was a time, you know, I'll just reference it back to my father's area dentistry. There was a time when African-Americans were trained,

could be trained at Harvard, but they wouldn't hire them to teach. So these people who were trained in these great quote, great institutions institutions went to HBC use to teach you were receiving that education there that discipline those demands they were serious about were you when you when you decided not to return back to Howard did you feel like you didn't return because your work was done there or was it just like a personal decision because like business reasons like I just feel like people like you didn't return because your work was done there? Or was it just like a personal decision because like business reasons?

Like I just feel like people like you was like, we need you on campuses every day. But I know it's probably it's a lot to do all at once. But like, what was that like for you that decision not to go back? Well, I will always be connected. I will always be connected to Howard University. As a matter of fact, next week, I will be in Washington, DC for the one night only reading of Chadwick A. Boseman's Deep Azure. He wrote that, right?

He wrote that. So he was one of my students early, early on when Al Freeman Jr. invited me to come and teach for a semester. So we were in the studio doing the show Monday through Thursday, and Friday morning I'd get up and fly down and I'd teach. And he was one of my students, Kalechi. Susan Kalechi Watson was one of the students. Camilla Forbes, one of the students. He was fearless. He was brave. South Carolina. And he was also very respectful. This is why I say as a people, we are a respectful people.

We are. Naturally. So anyway, he kept in contact with me. And after he had graduated, one day I received this call, I'm sending you something, Mr. Rashad. He would always call me that. I'm sending you something, Mr. Rashad. Even after he had attained fame and notoriety, he still called me Miss Rishon.

Always. So I said okay. And what he sent was a copy of this script that he had written. Hip-hop theater was born on the campus of Howard University and he was one of the progenitors. He was one of the innovators. Hip-hop language and rhythm through the voice and experience of a classically trained actor. It is grand. I had a question about the deep azure. Yeah. So the proceeds from the One Night Only are going back to the College of Fine Arts at Howard. Chadwick A. Bozeman College of Fine Arts. Yes. Would like today if Chadwick could see kind of like you know how the final product has come along and everybody that's involved um you like what would his sentiments be like how happy would he be to see all of this coming to fruition from that first phone call that you guys had about it?

I'll tell you his wife is very happy and his producing partner who was his best friend in college they're very happy and I'm very happy because it's happening god we're so honored we're so honored and our honorary so honored. And our honorary host committee, I mean, you know who's on that? So the honorary host committee, Ryan Coogler is the honorary chair. Kamen, Susan Kalichie Watson, Don Cheadle, Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Ta-Nehisi. I'm sorry, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Camilla Forbes, Reginald Hudlin, Kenny Leon, and Terrell Alvin McCraney. That's like the Black Avengers. Yes, that's a whole universe right there. It's all to support his legacy. Yeah, to support his legacy.

Chadwick was, he was really amazing. Chadwick was an actor, yes. Chadwick was a writer. Chadwick was a director. Chadwick was an actor, yes. Chadwick was a writer, Chadwick was a director, Chadwick was a scholar. He studied many things, the etymology of words. He was deep into that, into names and the meanings of them. He studied the Bible, not to Bible thump, but to understand its origins, really, and its deeper meanings and then he combined all of that with

you know I hate to say it like this but I'll say it like this with African cosmology why do I hate to say it like that because Africa's a huge continent and it is not a monolithic proposition right but there is a certain ethos that runs through all he was There was nobody else to play back Black Panther, but Chadwick and you know what he really cared about he called me one day and this was after graduation He was living in New York and he was so Excited and he wanted me to know what he was doing and to come and see and I was thinking Okay, now let's see. What premier is this?

What film is this? What play is this? It was none of that He was working with young people in the Schomburg Library and he was so excited about that Yes, that's who he was. You've been so gracious with your time, so I've got a couple more questions. What's a lesson you learned way too late in life that you wish you figured out sooner and you would teach to the next generation? It was that I'm enough. As a young girl growing up, you know, and young girls go through this, you'll know. You go through a period where you feel like, and it's because you're looking outside yourself,

you compare yourself to everyone else you see and you're not enough. Because you don't dress like that one, or you don't have hair like that one, or you don't have legs like that one. You can think of any number of things. Young girls go through this kind of thing. Usually it happens around adolescence where you feel like you're not enough. Part of that had to do with my mother being so beautiful, my father being so handsome, my sister being so cute, my brother being so whatever and I just thought well when I was born the

Lord was doing something else. So when did you get to that place of Warby? When did I get to that place? Yeah. I think I was about 34, 35 years old. Wow. And now I look back at those pictures of myself and I say, why do you feel like that? Yeah. The mind, that's why it's important to teach young people to look inside the mind, the state of mind. And there's too much going on right now that's so distracting for them. I don't know how young people feel if they listen to news reports today. They can't feel empowered. It's not meant to do that for us, for anybody. Well, thank you, not just for the interview, but for your career. Thank you. Just thank you not just for the interview but for your career. Thank you just thank you for being you. Yeah. It is not every day you get to meet people that you

you know you grew up on and watched and you know said to yourself man that person right there is a pillar of our community and what we need to be as a people and then you meet them and you're just as gracious and regal in person. Yeah. you, thank you to your mother and your father for raising such a beautiful, strong woman. Thank you. And I hope I can do the same for my daughters. I think you are. I think when they look at you,

they know that they're loved and they're protected. That's all they need. Absolutely. Make sure y'all go check out Purpose. It's running on Broadway through July 6th. It is Queen Felicia Rashad. Thank you for joining us. Yes ma'am. Thank you. Absolutely.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The latest with Lauren. Morning everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming with straight facts. Tell her, tell her. She gets them from 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 it.

She say I'm the biggest. The largest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Guys, Wendy Williams is not going to be moved to a less restrictive living situation.

Yes, that story that came out in the sun the other day I had been told is not true. It's actually just very premature. So there's parts of it that's premature, there's parts of it that's not true at all. So I'm here and I want to clarify for us. So we reported that Wendy Williams was going to be moved to a less restrictive living situation. There are other reports out right now that it's actually like a luxury condo somewhere that that request hasn't even been put on paper to a judge yet.

So who lied to the son? I'm not for sure. They say a source by not for sure who but I just know that it's not true. So what actually happened was when Wendy was in court on Monday, there was an oral request. Someone just said in court to the judge, hey, we wanna make sure that she lives somewhere less restrictive. The judge said, okay, you gotta file that now. So they are putting it on paperwork,

and once they put it on paperwork, then it'll be given via paper to the judge. But question, ain't the place she at now, if they choose to be less restrictive, they can be less restrictive? Yes. I think the first step is just getting the okay for less restrictions and then you figure out the living and where and all that stuff, right?

The second thing was that the guardianship termination. I just wanted to give an update there because I think when people heard the less restrictions, they automatically assumed the guardianship was completely terminated. That has not happened yet either. They did put that on paper already and that was given to a judge. But this was the part that was premature about these reports because although that was given

to a judge as a request, there's no backup information given yet. Like they still gotta submit the medical records, some of the testing that when you're gonna do, they gotta prove it to this judge. So right now, as where we stand, nothing has happened yet. I wonder if the facility she's in now has really loosened the restrictions or are they just doing that because of all of the media attention that's on Wendy right now? Probably from the media attention, but I didn't even know the Sun magazine

or Sun whatever still exists. I haven't heard that name in a long time. Yeah, no, the Sun, they be dropping stories still. Yeah, they around. Because even when we saw her Monday night at dinner, she said that she was only able to go out because her niece was in town. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's why I asked them, like, how was she even able to go out? Because Alex was in town.

Yeah. OK. Because they had been saying she could see her family and stuff like that. So they're putting it to the test right now. So that's literally only with family. She can only go out. And then is it like, but so many yards away from the facility that she can go or what is the that I know of it?

I don't I don't know that answer. I'm going to tell you what's funny. You know, Wendy got two wigs right now. Right. And I looked at Lauren, I said, well, maybe you can, uh, you know, get a wig like that. Wendy was like, no, no. That's what I knew. Why are you sitting here lying?

That's what I knew. She had all the sense. that's what I knew she had all of us since. Why you sitting here lying? That's what I knew. Not her capacity test was my lace. That's why you lying because what actually happened was he said something about my wig Wendy said oh my god that's a wig I didn't even know that that was a wig and Alex said it as well too. That's when I started to call the conservatorship. I said girl from the scout period. Period you have that one on. Yes. Period.

You know I haven't took off mahogany brown since I got her but we about to do a little switch. Yeah I love it. I love it. It's nice. Who is she? This is Pam. Pam.

Uh huh. I can see that. Thank you. Capital P? Yeah. Alright. So other news. Amon Shumpert and Tiana Taylor news.

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street. That is why y'all made me think. We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we lay a finger on. We never will say anything. You don't give a damn, don't throw it home. Hey!

Oh man, Charlamagne, you giving donkey the data who now? Well bust the rhymes donkey today for Wednesday March 19th is a double donkey. No today's March 20th, right? Yes

Wednesday March 20th on Thursday, right Thursday Jesus Christ. I'm losing it donkey today for Thursday March 20th is a double donkey It goes to 31 year old Mikella brachay Rylors dumb and 55 year old Michael Dale. Now Michaela is an only fans model I guess that's an actual job title nowadays. Her performer name is Ashley Sincai and she was hired by Michael Dale to perform a BDSM sex act. Now you all know what BDSM is correct? Bondage, discipline, dominance, submission you know all types of bondage. You got handcuffs, you got rope play, you got blindfolding, you got mummification different role play scenarios for example teacher student boss employee

Envy was doing Barack and Michelle last night You can do Diddy and anyone on making the band you get the picture well Michael had 11,000 in disposable income Recession where okay he had 11,000 to spend on BDSM. So he decided to order some mummification with a side of what seems to be a power exchange and a role play scenario because Michael wanted to be mummified in Saran Wrap. And he wanted a pair of woman's boots glued to his feet.

Yes, this man wanted to be treated like some leftovers. He wanted to be wrapped up like uneaten food. Keep me fresh, baby. Okay, this man wanted to know what it felt like to be a sandwich. Wrap me up and eat this D for lunch later. I hear stories like this and I just think to myself I'm just not that freaky. And why would he want the woman's boots glued to his feet? Well I did some research and by research I mean I asked chat GPT why do men like women's boots as a fetish and chat GPT said because of sensory stimulation. Okay women's boots especially those made of leather or latex or suede provide unique textures and sensations that can be physically or psychologically

stimulating. Okay it says the act of zipping zipping up or lacing or feeling the snug fit of high boots can be pleasurable. I also asked chat gpt why would someone glue the woman's boots to their feet? And it's just a fetish. Kink related behavior. Some individuals enjoy being physically restrained and permanently securing the boots could heighten that experience. I guess this is where the term kinky boots comes from.

But this is what Michael ordered. Little did he know that order came with an all-expense paid trip to the afterlife. Let's go to Mercury News for the report please. A 31-year-old woman has been charged with murder after a man who paid her to engage in fetish acts died after he'd had a bag on his head secured with duct tape during their encounter in an escondido home. She recorded the interactions to use as content for her OnlyFans site. The incident allegedly occurred between two consenting adults during what appears to be bondage discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, and masochism, more commonly referred to as BDSM while legal experts say a victim's consent to take part in dangerous acts is

not a defense to homicide. Some said it might be a mitigating factor. In the document, police said Dale first reached out to Rylarsdom after spotting her ad on a website police said was commonly used for escort or stripper services. In texts and phone calls in March and April of 2023, the affidavit states Dale made some unusual requests including that she wrap him like a mummy in Saran wrap and glue a pair Of women's boots onto his feet as he lay unresponsive She was performing a sex act nearby apparently creating content for her only fans page the document alleges Now look man if I'm gonna pay 11,000 for some BDSM. I'm not paying no rookie. Okay, this woman Michaela

for some BDSM, I'm not paying no rookie. Okay, this woman, Michaela, according to the news report, never engaged in BDSM sex before. You don't let the person who can't cook, but wants to learn, make Thanksgiving dinner. No, no, no, no, no. You can learn to cook one random Thursday in March, but we not trusting you with one of the most meaningful meals of the year.

That's not happening. There is a reason rookies don't get max contracts right out of the gate. You gotta prove yourself. 11,000? That's the reason this is a double donkey. I don't kink shame but 11,000 to a woman who's never done this before? No. Imagine paying the person who never cooked before 11,000 to cook Thanksgiving dinner and then they burn up all the food. You got to blame yourself because you knew this person never cooked before but you trusted them and paid them 11,000. And Michaela, the reason you getting donkey is because you knew this person never cooked before but you trusted them and paid them 11,000 and Michaela the reason you getting donkey is because

you put duct tape over this man's mouth he puts the ram wrap in a plastic bag over his head and you sat there and watch this man suffocate on the floor you watched the turkey burn but you don't realize it's burning because you don't know what you doing okay just like this woman Michaela had no idea Michael was suffocating on the floor Mike Michaela was too busy busting it open performing sex acts on the floor meanwhile the macaroni and cheese is burning to a crisp Oh my god. They're squirming. Oh. Oh. Oh. He's dying. He's dying. There is a video that shows this man was wrapped in Saran wrap for eight minutes and Ashley Sincai, real name Mikella, finally realized that something was wrong so she rushed to call 911 but it was too late. Dale was unresponsive and was declared brain dead at the hospital and days later removed from life support all because he trusted a rookie with a pro's job. Please give Michael Dale and Micaela Rylarsdom the biggest he-ho.

Rest in peace Michael Dale. You are killing this girl's name. I know. What is it? I can't I don't want to say it anymore. Try. McKellar? No. What's the last name? Bryce Rylers damn. Bryce Rylers damn. Now say judicial. Is she what? Say judicial. Oh yes. I thought you asked me was she Jewish. I was like I don't know. I have no idea. I said no, stay judicial. Judicial. Can you imagine having to explain this in the afterlife though? No. Yes, I wouldn't want to either. That's why you always got to think about things before you do. Hey, it's Amartinez.

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 iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into Prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working.

In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula Six. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor, and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it.

They were like superhero crusaders, turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did prohibitions' war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to Snafu on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you?

Call it up. It's Dr. Jess and I'm here to fix your mess. It's getting very much messy. Let me fix it. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Jess Fix My Mess. Hello, who's this? Let me fix it. You know what I mean? I'm an aspiring artist, you know what I mean? I can sing my ass off, at least I like to think so. They call me Trey Jones every time I sing. But for whatever reason, I keep going through this thing where I have this writer block where I start second guessing my content and I don't know how to break out of that.

What do you mean? Like, writer's block as far as writing lyrics? And what do you mean content? It's not even like writing lyrics. It's like, I'll do something and it'll be fire, you know what I mean? I'll get wild motion on it. And then it's like, I'll do something and it'll be fire. You know, I mean I get wild motion on it And then it's like I'll be trying to replicate that and if I feel like I can't replicate that I'll just stop creating I don't know how to get out of that. Mmm. No, you just gotta find different ways

They had find different ways like like what do you thrive doing? Best is it hanging out with other creatives? Is it like what do you do? What do you do best? Well, I do hang out with other creators creators I definitely hang out with a lot of people they don't be in my lane But like it goes hand in hand like you know, I mean I hang out with a lot of dancers You know, I mean a lot of social media influencers, you know party promoters things of that nature Just getting my name out there, but it's like now it's like my name out there But I don't got the content to back it up like my discography ain't that long I've only been on this path for two years now. Yeah, it could be you just got to unplug.

I think you probably like could be paying attention to what everybody else is doing and that could get in your way too because if you made a hit, it's just like trying to live up to the last hit that you made. If you made a hit, you probably looking at everybody else's success or where everybody else is at that could also discourage you too. So just unplug and meditate. you know what I'm saying? You gotta sit with yourself. How do I properly meditate?

Because I don't even know what that means. You don't know what meditation means? Like clear your mind, unplug. Like get off social media, stop. Actually like, it's just like you just gotta go in your own corner. Like you gotta isolate yourself, you know what I mean? And get back to mellow. Like what makes you thrive?

How did you come up with that first hit? What did you go off of was it from experience was it from hanging? You know, I mean like you these are questions that you got to ask yourself, you know It's different ways to meditate but definitely unplugging and isolating yourself is one. Okay Thank you mellow good luck bro I'm the next on just with the mess, you know the box we outside. Thank you. Mellow. Good luck, bro Just people make that mistake all the time you are the one don't like no name no wax song after me, bro Okay, let me hear it first

So going back to Kanye, but we're headed back because Mama Tina, Miss Tina Knowles has seemingly responded to all of the little shots that he was throwing at her grandbabies. So y'all know Tina Knowles on Instagram does her segment corny joke time where she posts her corny jokes. Now when she posted her recent corny joke, the caption said, but a heart it's hard to

remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil, but I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper. This battle is not mine, it's the Lord's. I know that God has got this." So of course the people are like, this is a response to Kanye. But let's talk about the corny joke. Let's take a listen. What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum?

Hmm. Anybody know? You want to tell us the punch line? No, I want you to try to answer it. What if we already saw it on social? Which I didn't. I didn't. Let's just try.

Yeah, she reposted Cassie reposted Playboy Cardi. When Playboy Cardi was responding to Kanye tweeting about Playboy Cardi's music, he said, Yay, shut the f up. Yeah. So moving on from there, new music is on the way. I saw that Will Smith will be releasing his first album in 20 years. You guys saw that? He is in that booth ripping on any beat. Yes. Yes, how did you know that that's where we were going? Oh, he rapping with Safaree?

No, he's not rapping with Safaree. No, because I saw him on the stream. He got in the booth with one of the young streamers and he turned up. Plaggboymax, Plaggboymax. Yeah, so this is funny because there's so many people in real time, like younger people like younger people like yo he do music I think when he dropped that freestyle his Instagram

That's how I remember we was talking about the different his sign or whatever. He was in a car He was doing music first though. Why didn't he but a lot of younger people don't even know that have no idea So people was like wait for anything So they don't even realize that fresh Prince and Will Smith are two different artists, bro Hmm, so listen, so will Smith has been on this press tour because he's promoting his new album called Based on a True Story. He stopped by a stream with PlacBoy Max and he actually got in the booth and freestyled. So he couldn't hear what Playboy Max was saying? No, absolutely not. He was in the booth going in. So yeah, you heard PlacBoy Max over top

of Will because PlacBoy Max is actively on a stream so he talking to the chat Yeah, I mean he doing his little his little he went in there and had bars though. I thought it was What is funny though cuz he in there thinking he killing killing and they probably child like go ahead go ahead go ahead go ahead go ahead. Whoa. He said that's that old head. I ain't gonna lie. He kinda had like a little ludicrous flow. He had a little ludicrous flow to me.

For real. You don't remember how Luda rap? I know how Luda rap. I just it was. I enjoy Will Smith's rap. Okay. Now I'm gonna tell you what I didn't enjoy him. I didn't enjoy all of the getting jiggy with it and all of that

Yeah, but for whatever reason you did it. No this era of Will Smith rapping I enjoy it cuz he's so serious You like summertime? Oh my god. That's Fresh Prince. Fresh Prince was fire. You're talking about Will Smith. Yes, Fresh Prince was fire. Okay, so I didn't know that. Fresh Prince is Nightmare on My Screech, Summertime, I Think I can beat Mike Tyson. That's fine. Wait So he dropped music separately as first prince and then as Will Smith I thought when you said that you meant like there was like soundtrack music for Fresh Prince Who did parents just don't understand was that Okay, cuz I like this on Is he just bored is he not shooting movies?

No, I think he just wants to get back into music. He said he's been working on this project for a minute and he's itching to get it out. I am a Libra who identifies as a cancer. Drop one of Clue's bombs with big willy! And he's been keeping up with a lot of trends on social media. You see he's been doing stuff with Ashley Banks.

Yeah, he did the anxiety challenge, the dochi. The dochi, he included dochi in it. Yep. All right, Red, go ahead. Go off. And Miss Aciyana been on the trends. Yes, he also shared the track list. So there'll be, uh, Tiana Taylor will be on this, his son Jaden, um, of course Jazzy Jeff and a ton of other people. So we'll look out for that on March 28th is when that is supposed to drop. Turn that off too, Red. That's bad luck. It's bad luck to play summertime when it's not summertime. If you play it when it's still cold out it's eight more weeks of winter. Jesus. You just lied.
