Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Monday! Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week. And we got a special guest host with us today. Who we got? Lauren LaRosa.

Now, she's nationally, she's on weekdays on Fox as a senior news producer and reporter at TMZ as well. Oh, wait. Did I say that right? I mean, technically, yes, I was a senior news producer at TMZ. Uh-oh. Hello, world. I'm no longer at TMZ anymore. Since when?

Last week? When did this happen? Literally since about three days ago. Jesus Christ. Jesus. Yes, yes, yes. Do they know? Are they just finding out no oh they know

they know this is wrong no it's not technically it's technically not like at the time that you received that that was you know we were not i was nationally syndicated monday through friday on fox i think a lot of people will recognize the voice and the name because i was like you know one of like maybe two black people that they had on air oh you was on the okay when you say fox because people say fox they think fox news you was on the tmz show that syndicated on fox yes but when you're trying to pitch yourself to other brands sometimes you can't always just say tmz you got to say fox because people will be like oh tmz so we had structured the bio that way but yeah so i did the shows uh tmz live tmz on tv which is prime time all the specials you know they had me everywhere it was was a good run. So basically, Friday was

your last day, is what you're saying, or Thursday? Friday was supposed to be my last day, but I got a call Tuesday, and I was told, don't come back into the office. Damn. Jesus. So what happened? I mean, I think it was just time. I think I had reached that ceiling for myself, and I'm trying to build out. I have Brown Girl Grinding,

which is a broadcast media and production company, and we do development. We do a bunch of different things. And for me, I was being offered a lot there, but not offered a lot. So there was a podcast that we were shooting that I wasn't going to be compensated for up front. There was no credit going to happen. I just wanted to start building in a real way, ownership way, not just on a platform as a part of a brand. And it didn't align there.

So I decided to step away and wanted to do it the right way. ownership way not just on a platform as a part of a brand and you know it didn't align there so i decided to step away and wanted to do it the right way but you know unfortunately i feel like things didn't end the way that i would have wanted them to right um i had to file hr reports and stuff like that but you know now we're here i'm appreciative of all of my time that i've had there i love everybody no differently but i did not appreciate the way that I had to leave that room. Lauren came in hot. I came in telling the truth. We're here now. It's been amazing. I'm blessed

and I'm thankful for everything that got me to this point. We're happy to have you here this morning. Thank you guys for having me. I appreciate it. Jesus Christ. How was your weekend, Charlamagne? I had a great weekend, man. I did a lot of reading. I did a lot of writing because, you know, I'm working on my third book. And I got the opportunity to watch They Cloned Tyrone.

How was it? A couple of times. Oh, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah? I thoroughly. None of y'all watched it this weekend? No, I didn't see it. Did you dress up when you watched it?

Nah, I mean, because I didn't really know what to expect from it. I didn't know what it was. But, you know, I love a good sci-fi conspiracy thriller, especially a sci-fi conspiracy thriller starring black people. You don't really see black people in science fiction roles too much. So I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I don't even want to talk to nobody who hasn't watched it at least twice. Then we can have a discussion. Oh, it's one of them. It's one of them, I think. Okay. I actually did dress up because, you know, everybody's out with the Barbie movie this weekend. I took my daughter to see that. I didn't go see it, but I took her to go meet with her friends to go see it on Saturday. And yes, everybody was definitely dressed up.

Everybody was dressed up. She even dressed up. My kids went to go see it. My daughters went to go see it. I didn't go take them. One of the neighbors took all the girls. So I just, you know. My oldest didn't like it, though.

She's 15. She said it's not for kids at all because you know my That's funny. My sister and my daughter want to see it too. Because Barbies aren't for kids but I can understand

with the cast that they have I don't really know how that storyline with that cast would have been for children. Yeah, Mercedes, my sister went and she said she loved it. Mercedes too big to be in a Barbie movie.

Yo, shut up, man. I didn't say old either. I said big. I know what you said. I heard what you said. She's 6'3". Leave her alone. Alright. With a size 12 and a Barbie. Yo, shut up, man. I ain't say old either. I say big. I know what you said. I heard what you said. She's 6'3". Leave her alone. All right.

With a size 12 and a half. Leave her alone. I feel like they have 6'3", 12 and a half shoe inclusive Barbies. Like in 2023, they're inclusive. You might be right. They call it Sasquatch. Sasquatch Barbie. Leave her alone.

Good morning, Benz. All right. I was out in Detroit over the weekend. We did that festival that, shout out to Detroit, man. It was 20,000 people at that festival. There was a little bit of rain. People still stayed. That was the one where Monica jumped off stage.

And we'll get into that in the rumors. Don't play with Monica. Monica's about that life. Yeah, Monica don't need a Barbie. She need a G.I. Joe. That's what Monica need. If you ever make a doll about Guna, it gotta be a G.I. Joe, not a Barbie.

I don't know. Last time the G.I. Joe, G.I. Jane joke hit, it didn't go well, so. That is true. But she definitely need a G.I. Joe action figure. That's what Monica needs. When we come back, we got front page news. Teslin Figaro will be joining us.

So to keep it locked, it's The Breakfast Club on BET. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We got our guest co-host, formerly from TMZ, Lauren LaRosa. Yes. And let's get in some front page news.

Teslin Figaro, good morning. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, beautiful Lauren and Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, Tezlin. Happy Monday. Good morning. Let's start with Magic Johnson. He was one of the owners, one of the people in the group that bought the Commander.

So congratulations to Magic Johnson. Dropping a clues bomb for Magic Johnson, man. Come on, man. Black NFL owner. He started crying when he was talking about it. I don't know why God blessed me with these opportunities. But I want to excel not only for myself and my family, but for all African Americans,

making sure we can see ourselves in these seats. And I want people to know that we can do the job. And even sitting here with you now is a blessing.

And he sat down with Craig Melvin, so congratulations to Magic Johnson. I'm not sure if he still owns a percentage of the Dodgers. Even sitting here with you now is a blessing. career off the court than Magic Johnson, business-wise? Him and Shaq? Shaq got a crazy... I mean, of course, Jordan, because Jordan got the Jordan brand, but I'm talking about Magic. Magic might be number one. Mm-hmm. And I think with Magic, too, a lot of the stuff that he's done, he's been one of the first to get in these different arenas and having to break down.

I think that's probably why it's so heavy for him when you listen to it. You know what I mean? Now let's talk about FAMU. What's going on with FAMU now, Taz? In other sports news, FAMU has banned its players from the team facilities after a rap video by Real Boston Richie featured some of the students in the locker room without permission being granted. Now Coach Willie Simmons said that the team facility, weight room,

and access to the stadium field were off limits to all players until he and the administration could sort out who was involved in a video shoot. Simmons said that in that in the post, that while he is a proponent of free speech and all forms of musical expression, the team has a responsibility to protect the university's image now when he's talking about image he's saying that the video contained graphic language that is not consistent with famu's core values principles and beliefs and an internal investigation is underway to determine who authorized the use of not only the facility but also the license apparel that potentially violates university branding and licensing agreements take a quick listen to some of the lyrics and we'll talk about it on the other side i was confused about this because if you watch the video it's like a real video how did they even shoot the full video without anyone saying you shouldn't be doing this but we don't know what time they shot it but i will say this with famu they're very serious about that that locker room so i went out there last year and i had to do interviews with uh hbcu go talking about hbcus

and they have a logo in the middle of it and when i walked in there you're not supposed to step on the logo i didn't know that i stepped on the logo and the whole team made me do 20 push-ups like that's part of like this you like the new person on the yard yeah i was the new person on the yard did you get through the 20 i sure did okay grown-ass man but they're very serious about their organization their locker room, and what happened. So, I mean, it is crazy. And he performed before the Rattlers homecoming game last season. So, like, you know, even if he did that, somebody had to listen to the lyrics and say, okay, he's cool to perform.

But I think it's the unauthorization. The fact that he shot the video unauthorized and he had on the team helmet. It's one thing if you got a jersey on because you can get a jersey somewhere. But you had the helmet on in the thing? Yeah. Of course. They want to know what students of course they want to know what they want to know what students let them in that's what they want to know yeah he also had on uh some nike uh you know again with the school logos without permission so they were you know concerned about that being trademark infringement that could possibly you know cause problems again with financial support you know

we talk a lot about hbcus and making sure you know they have the support so when they're looking at this also just conversations outside you know will these young men you know will it affect scholarships could it affect funding um you know the larger picture on the pr mess um that this has caused and i don't know what song charlotte you said he performed did he perform this particular record last year or i don't know but I can almost guarantee that branding approved I promise you I love Boston yeah but all home comes they don't they don't check the lyrics like when when artists come from homecoming they they come from homecoming like my little baby performs homecoming or the baby or whoever may be they perform their music this they're not gonna do clean versions

they perform for the students correct correct and but performing for exactly i get performing for the students and you know saying using those type of lyrics with actual fam you apparel on you know some people are you know offended by that in the brand you know and unauthorized that's the biggest thing the fact that he wasn't supposed to be there let's just be clear on that that's the real issue right all right well that is front page news. Tez, we'll see you in a couple minutes. Absolutely. All right.

I saw you in Detroit. I was at the concert, and I wish I could have met you, man. But you're a great guy, and I had fun. I'm glad you had fun. Did you see when Monica jumped into the crowd? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That was interesting. Monica wasn, sir. Yes, sir. That was interesting.

Monica wasn't playing. No, man. She was definitely about it. Did you see when... I'm glad that she stood up, though. Yeah, that was good. Did you see when Saucy Santana jumped into the crowd? Saucy Santana jumped into the crowd?

I didn't see that part. Saucy Santana jumped into the crowd. Was it a fight or he just was... No, he was just performing. Oh. Saucy said, where my gay boys at? And he just jumped in the crowd. You know what's funny?

Somebody caught him? No, no. He didn't jump in the crowd like that. Like a dive. He just jumped over the barricade. You know how they just go down in the audience. He said somebody caught him. I don't know, man.

He jumped in the crowd. You know what's funny? I had hookah up there, and I would not smoke the hookah as Saucy Santana was performing. You let Saucy Santana hookah shame you, bro? Absolutely, positively. You got to send 10 toes down in your mint hookah. Nope.

Nope. Yeah, and I wasn't trying to look at him like that because I was looking at Monica and Saucy. First of all, the fact that you got to say that lets me know you was looking at Saucy like that. You was definitely looking at Saucy. There was no need to even say that. I wasn't even looking at him like that.

I was looking at Monica and Chucky. Nah, you was looking at Saucy Santana. Saucy started twerking. You couldn't keep your eyes off it. Tell the truth. There's nothing wrong with it if he was. Saucy, he has a great show. He puts on.

This guy's blushing now. How you doing? You say you hear him? Thank you, man. How can we hear you blushing? No, that's not true. No. No. No. No, that's not true. No, no, no.

Get it off your chest. Hey, guys, I haven't talked to you in a while. Every time I start my morning with you guys and my medical marijuana, my week goes great. Word. But toxic people, I'm going to say real quick, I had, me and my fiance had to move out of the suburb of Toledo that we've been living in, dealing with the cops. And I was having a little fire the last day that I was there, kind of cleaning up my backyard, which is totally illegal. We've been doing that for years, never had any problems.

And the neighbors, who I've had issues with, decided to call the fire department on us. And the two guys that showed up originally laughed and said, we're out of here. We've seen enough. You guys do what you got to do. Burn all you want. And then the fire chief shows up and pulls out some law of the state of Ohio that I can't burn anything that has keys on it and all this horse shit. And I'm like.

What are you talking about this morning? He said he was burning some stuff in his backyard, man. What was you burning, man? It's hot out there now. I was just burning some branches and stuff that I had cut down, like, two years earlier, bro. But why are you burning stuff at 95 degrees? Are you guys kidding me right now?

I mean, look... And as I'm having this discussion, who do you think's sitting at the stop sign? The police. Yep, because you're smoking right now. You're burning something right now, and it's probably weed. And they're about to pull you over. It's good, too, because he's everywhere.

Everywhere. We used to have to burn trash when we was younger. Because, you know, growing up in Moscow and South Carolina, we didn't have a trash man. So we used to burn our own trash for a while. I don't know when we started actually getting trash people to pick up the trash. I don't remember. As a kid, y'all didn't have a garbage man? No, we used to burn trash in the backyard.

We never burned... Did I ever? I'm from Queens. We always had garbage men and sanitation workers. Y'all have no experiences in New York. Y'all don't even hunt rats. Why would you? Wait.

Y'all need something. Y'all have no experiences growing up. Why would you? Wait. Y'all need something. Y'all have no experiences growing up. Why would you hide a rat? If you're from the country, you burned trash when you was, if you grew up in a certain era. I grew up in the 1900s. Get it off your chest. 800-585-LORIN. Did you burn trash?

I did. I'm from Delaware and no, we did not burn trash. My grandmother. You're also 22. First of all, I'm 31. Oh, okay. But I didn't burn trash. And even if, that's not, you know,

we had trash people that came. Yeah, right. Well, call us up right now. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. And I was spitting off

And he said, if you see him on the street and you want to take a picture

he made it out. Jamie did a great job playing Slick Charles in They Clone Tyrone. And I'm giving y'all a few days before we start discussing it openly. So if you haven't seen

They Clone Tyrone yet on Netflix, you better hurry hurry up I'm about to give spoilers because I need to talk about this I'm gonna watch it tonight all right and last in the room I didn't see it no no I didn't see it yeah all right and lastly we got to talk YNW Melly he was accused of shooting Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas well it looks like looks like his trial was a mistrial. A mistrial declared in the double murder case against YNW Mellie. Mellie, whose legal name is Jamel Demons, is charged in the 2018 shooting deaths of two of his friends. Broward County prosecutors say the shooting was gang-related and they were seeking the death penalty. Mellie's attorneys argue the gun used in the shootings was never recovered and that Mellie had no apparent motive to shoot his friends.

Prosecutors will likely choose to retry the case with a new jury. Now, what does that mean? I think it's with the state. I'm assuming that they will because, I mean, he can't be tried for the same thing, right? Because of double jeopardy. I have no idea. I don't know. Is he coming home?

I know I saw him say he had a request a bond. Yeah, I think he did request a bond. I think he can be tried again. And I think actually the feds. Yeah, I think the feds can actually try him as well. They haven't said what they're going to do now. They haven't given him a bond as of yet. But it was a mistrial, which looks like he will be coming home.

That's the same. But that's like a mistrial and something like this. Like you guys remember when this first started, like all the details and they reenacted the crime scene like i thought they had something yeah and that's got to be devastating uh for the family of the victims yeah right because they still don't have no closure and they really they they 100 believe that that what he's alleged of is what happened and if he if he if he if he didn't do it i'm sure they're wondering, well, who did? Right. You know, but they said it was deadlocked three times before the judge ordered a mistrial.

And they're saying county prosecutors were seeking a death penalty and will most likely retry the case. So they will retry the case. All right. And that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we got some front page news. Teslin Figaro will be joining us and we're taking your calls. Eight hundred five, eight, five, one, oh, five, one. come back we got some front page news teslan figueroa will be joining us and we're taking your calls 800-585-1051 now tiffany haddish was doing an interview with uh i can't remember what was the site she was doing an interview with huh washington post and she talks about her relationship with common she said everything was great there was no problems and then all of a sudden it was he just broke up with me over the phone she said she didn't see it coming she was blindsided so

we're asking has that ever happened to you? Have you ever been in a relationship? Things were going so good you thought that was the one and then all of a sudden you get a text and it's a wrap. We'll talk about it when we come back as well. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Are you someone who

knows you don't have to sacrifice comfort for quality? Someone who lives large in life and in the bedroom? then live large and now thinner with new magnum raw condoms the thinnest magnum condom available where condoms are sold morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now we got our guest co-host lauren larosa formerly of tmz after what three days ago just three days ago she was there days ago, she was there. Yep. It was all good about a week ago.

It was all good just a week ago. Now, let's start getting some front page news with Tez LaFigure. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Lorraine. Good morning, Charlamagne. Peace, Tez. I got a real question about this one when you finish talking about it.

Biden, he's going to honor Emmett Till with a national monument. Break that down. Yeah. Today, President Biden will sign a proclamation to establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till Mobley. The kidnapping, torture and murder of the black 14 year old from Chicago by white supremacists in Mississippi and his mother's efforts to highlight the atrocity helped spur the civil rights movement. The Emmett Till and Mamie Till Mobley National Monument will be established at all three sites in Illinois and Mississippi. And as a reminder that after more than 200 attempts, the first ever anti lynching bill to make lynching a federal crime was just signed last year in 2022. Now, the absence of that bill allowed the vast majority of perpetrators to go unpunished in cases. Those cases were nearly, they say, over 6,500 racial terror lynchings between 1865 and 1950. So a lot of folks got away with lynching because

there was no anti-lynching bill. And so that that's how those two things connect and now president biden uh is obviously you know moving forward with a monument i mean i i love the monument idea i know some folks you know may say nobody cares that's just symbolism but the reality is when you live in a world where folks are trying to revise history and folks are trying to keep people from telling the real history of things that imagery is important because it causes people to ask questions about who that is. And Emmett Till's story will always be told whenever people see that monument. And I think if we learned anything from the pandemic, remember, you know, everybody was so up in arms about the statues we were asking to be taken down.

So we need to understand that there is some significance there because, you know, they upset. I think it's a great thing. I think it's wonderful. Like you said, it's a statue that people will continue to ask who and what and why and hopefully that story continues on but my question is if when biden if biden does this and let's say you know biden sometimes can't remember things well let's say biden says the wrong name you know i mean shouldn't kamala be doing some of this remember biden said pray for the queen a couple of weeks ago and things like that you think biden gonna be like we got an emmett sm monument that... If he hit Emmett Jackson, I think it's over. We got an Emmett Smith

monument that we're putting up, you know, in honor of what happened to Emmett Smith. Like, what? I'm just asking. Can we add some concerns? I'm just asking. Now let's talk about Minneapolis backing off arrests for psychedelic plants. Yeah. And it looks like one of our callers called in this morning about his miracle marijuana.

So Minneapolis is backing away from enforcing laws and criminalized buying the psychedelic plants or using them in private. Mayor Jacob Frey on Friday announced police to stop using taxpayer dollars to enforce the laws against the plants. Minneapolis still prioritizes enforcing laws against selling the plants, bringing them to school, or using them while driving, but yet they're not going to enforce the laws to actually use it. So it's kind of confusing there, but this is what they're saying in the report. But the police chief said that he stands by the mayor's decision. They also said, Mayor Frey said that this is, the plants are used to treat mental illness, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. So he says it's a good thing, but I did want to highlight

that some experts caution that more research is needed in order to see what these psychedelic plants really do. And the American Psychiatric Association has not endorsed the use of these plants in treatment. They want to make sure that, you know, the Food and Drug Administration has not made a final determination, but they did list it as a breakthrough therapy, which means that they are, you know, still doing some testing and wanting to see, you know, the results. Another thing I found interesting, guys, was I didn't know that Ecstasy was also listed as a breakthrough therapy, and they're hoping to see if they can get that uh actually something that can be to present uh to prevent ptsd treatment so ecstasy i guess may possibly become something you can use according to the food and drug administration i'm not mad about

that either i feel like they should use uh they should feel like that about harder drugs too though because most of these people are using the hard drugs as an escape so instead of sending them to jail send them to a rehab facility get them some real mental health resources instead of criminalizing people's addiction right and i always find it confusing right and i'm not sure about psychedelic plants but i know like when you're talking about cannabis it's so confusing to try to figure out what states is it legal in what states is it not legal in what state you can get arrested in it for what state you can't like? That's just, you know, I mean, for somebody that that needs it for their anxiety or needs it.

And they're traveling. They're not thinking about that. You know, I mean, you just the state that you're in is legal. You know, I mean, do they honor people with medical marijuana cards in other states? Like if I got a medical marijuana card for Jersey, but I'm in like Ohio. I don't think so. I know what the Gigi Hadid situation. I mean, I was in a different state.

She was in a different country. But there were reports that she had a medical marijuana card. And they still, like, she had to pay whatever fee or whatever and get cited and all that stuff. So I don't think so. And just as an FYI, right now, 23 states do support the legal use of cannabis. Because, like, even in parts of Detroit, I remember, I don't even know if they finally passed it, but Detroit was not recreation.

It was only medicinal. But then you could go a block over, and that was recreational. So it was really weird. So it's very confusing for people. And if you're driving around in your car, you have it on you, you couldn't get arrested. You know what I mean?

It creates a problem. Why is this taking so long? What's the hang-up? I don't i have no idea all right well that is front page news thank you tiz absolutely make sure you subscribe to the us great shot no chaser podcast on the black effect i heart radio podcast network and follow tesla tesla figaro on all social media platforms at tesla figaro all right now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Tiffany Haddish sat down with the Washington Post, and she was talking about her relationship with Carmen.

She said it was the healthiest, the funniest relationship I've ever been in. It was safe. It was fun. And then all of a sudden, he broke up with her. She said she was really blindsided. She said she thought the feeling was mutual. Obviously, it wasn't. And he didn't even do it over the phone.

He texted her and said it was over, that his relationship was going in a new direction. So let's open up the phone lines. Have you ever been in that relationship where you thought things were going good? You thought everything was great. And then all of a sudden, it wasn't. Let's talk about it. Have you been in that type of relationship, Lauren? Uh, no.

Why do you say it like that? Uh, no. Because I just feel there's a lack of respect if you can't even like you don't want to see me and break up with me and like i feel like at that well i'm not that age yet but i at that age i would just be so pissed off because like we're supposed to be getting talking about marriage and at my age uh-uh don't play with me like that that's exactly what i'm bringing up with you over the phone I don't want none of that energy in person. That's why you get the text message.

Now I'm outside your mom's house because why would you do that? Why are you being weird to me? That's the reason why. You can't play with people like that. I'm texting you. Nope. I'm texting you when I'm in a different state. I got a freaking flyer, Miles. Don't play. We'll talk about it. What's your thoughts? 800-585-1051.

Have you ever been in that situation? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Enj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we got our guest co-host lauren larosa formerly of tmz we found out today if you didn't know the story we'll get back into that story later on there being one of those rumor reports but we're talking about tiffany haddish tiffany haddish sat down with the washington post and she was talking about her relationship with common she said it was healthy it was, it was probably one of the funniest relationships she's been in, it was safe and then all of a sudden it just didn't work and it's not because of her. She said the feeling wasn't mutual

that they were together and then all of a sudden Common hit her with a text and said it's the relationship ran its course. So we're asking 800-585-1051 has that ever happened to you? You thought your relationship was good you thought everything was good money and then all of a sudden it wasn't now lauren has that happened to you before no same answer no not at all no i'm not going out like that what do you mean you're not going out like that what does that mean exactly lauren because that's so hurtful like for you really didn't don't care much about that person if you just wake up one day and you're like this isn't working for me i'll call you back but what what if what and i'm not saying tiffany is

this person but what if you know that the person that you're dating is kind of crazy like kind of the one that will put hands and feet on you i'm looking at your eyes right now because you see that you know you would have got a text message. Maybe a DM. Maybe a DM. I have learned in my adult life that women cannot put their hands on men. It is domestic violence. I would not do that. But don't. No.

I just feel like there should be a level of decency. A phone call is not. Especially when you're very. At that age. At that age. But also, too, at that height of celebrity. It's, like, it's embarrassing. She was so happy, so excited about the relationship. And also, too, I don't know, like, the me, I just feel like I expected just a little bit more smoothness from Common. Like, it really makes me look at him in a way that I don't want to look at him.

Now, I don't know nothing about common and Tiffany situation right but what if I spoke to you prior face to face and we decided that this wasn't gonna work and I told you this face to face but you couldn't see that's different you know that that's really different that's kind of like with the whole scandal thing you guys watch no that's a lot different because there's a forewarning it's kind of put out there that regardless of how anybody feels it's not working for at least one person and the person's not willing to work through it but it doesn't seem like that's what was given to her like it's kind of like she didn't even have the

are we going to fight for this is this a thing like type of conversation like it was just like no this doesn't work for me i'm good she said she responded okay cool so you're just gonna be this single man at 50 like damn but like i'm thinking about i'm gonna be single i'm gonna say i'm not gonna be with you that's what that's technically what he's saying i hate that comment as a love bomber like that damn it's a love bomber it's a person that like comes into your life they fill you up in all the ways that you need do everything right. And the love is there. The passion is there.

And then it's just like I'm gone. Hey, can you imagine like, you know what I mean? Like you're it's common. And then think about the you got the voice on top of it. Yeah, I want to hug. I would have definitely been a love bomber back because I'm a cancer. I'm a sensitive cancer. You know what I'm saying?

Y'all are the ones. There's so much emotion tied up into it so fast that the other person feels like, okay, this is going somewhere because I got them. I got that emotion.

When some people just are emotional people and you come, you drop it, and then you dip. You love bomber you. That's right. Chrissy!

Yes? Now talk to us, Chrissy. You was with somebody for two years. What happened? Yesissy you was with somebody for two years what happened yeah i was with you for two years and they just happened once i never said anything you never said nothing not even a phone call or text nothing nothing is he in jail was it a he or she it was a she oh she. Damn. Is she in jail? Is she alive? Yeah, she's alive.

I saw her a couple days ago. It was the money. We don't talk about how toxic lesbians are to each other. We really don't. Y'all are some cruel people to each other. I've seen it happen. I'm not cruel. I'm pretty nice.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the person you was dating. She love-bombed you. She caressed you. She held you. she ate the box right and then just left you one day you're funny but i feel like you said two years right yeah two years i feel like the first two years of a relationship and i'm sorry to have to say this to you like it's not you you haven't even fully cut off everybody that you were dealing with before the relationship damn i could win and she did well she might not have. What's she doing now? She with somebody?

I don't know. I believe she did. You haven't, like, looked at the Instagram, Facebook, nothing? I don't have Instagram and Facebook. Lesbian relationships are so complicated because whenever you play paper, rock, scissors, it's always scissors. No, shut up, man. Shut up, man. What's wrong with you?

She just hurt and you were making jokes. What's wrong with you? She's obviously hurt. She can barely get the words out. Karen. Corinne. Hello. What's your name you? She's obviously hurt. She can barely get the words out. Karen. Corinne. Hello. What's your name?

Hello. Karen or Corinne? Corinne. Okay, Corinne. What happened with you, Corinne? In March, my boyfriend of eight years just broke up with me. Like, that he was moving to New York. Damn.

Did he just text you or why did he leave? Was that a cry or a deep cough? I don't know. Hello? No, it was face to face. Oh, no, I thought you was crying just now. I didn't know what you was doing. Oh, no, I was laughing. I don't laugh. So were there issues leading up to the conversation of our move into New York?

No, it was a perfect relationship. I thought it was. Y'all got to stop this, man. It's no way. Y'all not being honest. I love you no more. You're not being honest. Something happened. You just don't wake up

one day and say, it's over. I swear, I thought the same thing. Were you perfect relationship like, I don't go looking so it's not happening?

Like, something had to happen. There had to be something. What did he move to New York for, a job or like a person? A job. Not after 8 years though 8 years

something must have changed in the relationship yeah maybe he finally decided I was 12 damn like long time

maybe he finally decided to do right by his wife yo shut up goodbye I'm sorry what's wrong with you man what's wrong with you 800-585-1051

if you just joined us. Yo, you a fool, man. We're talking about Tiffany Haddish. She sat down with the Washington Post. She was talking about her relationship with Carmen and said it was the healthiest, funniest relationship ever. She felt safe. Everything was good. And then all of a sudden, you know, Carmen hit her with a text and was like, uh,

the relationship's run its course. She was hurt by it. Has this happened to you? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us with here with our guest co-host, Lauren LaRosa,

formerly of TMZ. And the reason I say formerly, we'll explain in a little bit. But we're asking, this comes from Tiffany Haddish. She recently sat down with The Washington Post. She was talking about her relationship with Common. She said during that relationship, it was the healthiest, funniest relationship. She said she felt safe. And Common,

well, just didn't think so. The feeling wasn't mutual. She said Common hit her with a text like this relationship has run its course. What you about to get into? Jesus Christ. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Has that happened to you? Lauren LaRosa said no that hasn't happened and it won't.

Nope it won't. Lauren brought up a good point and a good term that I never heard before which is called love bombing. And I think that guys who love bomb, you know, really have to learn how to pull back on that because you can't approach every situation like that person is the one. Or they need to not date until they can emotionally mature. Very true. Because for me, I feel like you love bomb and you run away from something like that because anybody that keeps getting this serious because this is a common pattern with common and you keep stepping away from it though i i just there's something like he's not getting over that hump for a reason

what if it's the fact that he maybe he might think that he's in love or thinks he's in that situation and then something he sees turns him off but that's something with him though how many times you want to do that that's something he gotta fix and he gotta correct cuz how many times are you going to do this with people I just hate this it makes me feel like he's a f-boy like I hate to think about him that way it's always just been like melodies and great lyrics and I'm just there I promise you guys us women live in like a a fantasy state of common really and i think what yes okay so listen that's a good point you just brought up lauren so maybe it's the women's fault because maybe the women have this now just blame us no i'm just saying

maybe the women have this idea of common and maybe it ain't even like that i mean maybe common just dating and kicking it but these women are like no it's gonna be my husband this is what i'm going to see that's true too but also too i think when you meet you know a man who is successful he's attractive he's going to speak to you the right way he's going to speak life into you you know i mean she said she felt safe you are instantly whether it's common or not going to feel like i love it here i want to you know what i mean like I'm honestly thinking now like cause you know he's

allegedly with Jennifer Hudson now I'm trying to figure out like where that's going what if that's just his nature though what if he's just that kind of person that makes you feel that way that pours love into every relationship that's gonna send you to Maya Angelou poems in the morning just cause that's him just cause he is a protective person like maybe what that's between them I think I don't know how he

goes into these things then. Because with Tiffany Haddish, it seems like she was very caught off guard. And I think if he is just that person, there's nothing wrong with that. And I don't even know if I would call him a love bomber then. If you go into it and you're honest and you're a friend, that's just how you court. One of my friends, Just Mike DePaul. Y'all know Just Mike? Okay, so he talks about that a lot.

The fact that he courts women so well, even if he doesn't want to be long-term with them, it makes women hate him. And it's because women are not used to being courted a certain way or treated a certain way. So the minute they do, they like latch on. So if it's that I can understand that.

But Tiffany had, it seemed very well caught off guard. Like it was given, he might've proposed one day and said, is your Uber here yet? The next. Damn. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello day and said, is your Uber here yet the next? Damn. Well, let's go to the phone lines.

Hello, who's this? This is Terrell from South Carolina. Hey, Terrell, what's going on? Terrell, what's happening, brother? Nothing much, man. Tell us your story, Terrell. So, me and my girl at the time was together for like five years.

And we got engaged on St. Thomas, the island or whatever. And when we came back, she broke it off with me. And she was dating her girlfriend at the time. I didn't even know nothing about it.

Oh, she cheated on you with a girl? Yeah, her co-worker. You see what I'm saying? We just was talking about how toxic these lesbians are. You see? One done stole your book.

One done stole your book. Relax. You don't want to turn the L's against you. I'm just saying, man. But does it hurt more that she cheated on you with a woman or no? No, it really don't. It is whatever. I mean, getting your girl stolen is getting your girl stolen.

Ain't nothing you can do about it. But I did get my get back though with her. How did you get your get back? The girl that used to beat her up in school, I ended up sleeping with her. How did you get back? The girl that used to beat her up in school, I ended up sleeping with her. Was it good? What? The girl that used to beat her up in school.

What was that low vibrational response you just gave us, sir? What? I thought you was going to go for the sister or the aunt. Oh, yeah, something else. The girl that used to beat her up. Beat her up when? In elementary school? Middle school? High school?

High school. And Goose Creek. Oh, and Goose Creek. So where you from? Goose Creek, 843. So let me ask you a question. So you must know that that triggered her. She must have used to talk about getting beat up by that girl a lot.

Yeah. And how old are y'all? 30. So this is about 12. Y'all about 12, 13 years removed from high school. 14 years removed, yep. You just did it because you knew that was going to traumatize her. She must have got beat up

in front of the whole school. She must have been talking about that for years. Multiple times. Multiple times. Yeah. So you had sex with her bully? Yep.

Multiple times. Drop on a clothesline for this young man. Wait, wait, wait. How does the bully look though? Because if the bully was beat up. It don't matter.

Also, the girlfriend don't care if she can fight now. Like if she can fight now like if she can fight now she good yo having sex with a girl's bully is crazy what the bully

look like I'm just curious what the bully look like on a five one to five about a five okay

there's no way nah I don't think so that bully somebody beating and getting like that don't look like that alright what's the moral

of the story I don't know what's the moral of the story I don't know what's the moral of the story Lauren don't tell your man about your bully that's the moral of the story I'm not telling you nothing

alright now when we come back we got your rumor report Lauren you doing these rumors yes what are we talking about give us a little tease we are talking about

guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

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

We are The Breakfast Club. We got our special guest host with us, Lauren LaRosa, formerly of TMZ. Yes. Now, if people that's just joining us now, I know you explained a little earlier, but... We probably should talk. We probably should say that for the next rumor report.

Well, I was going to do it now. We got a little time. Hey, rumor report, give her a little more room to breathe. Okay. She was telling me some things that I want to discuss too really yeah yeah yeah

just about the whole situation okay we'll talk about it when we come back but the reason I say formally of TMZ because Friday

was your last day yeah Friday was technically my last day but it was Tuesday that was my last day damn we'll talk about it

it's all love y'all it's all love Jesus Christ alright well we'll get to that next. I do want to tell people, too, Charleston, South Carolina, 843, my birthplace, my home. I'll be there this Thursday because they have the Low Country Mental Health Conference from July 26th to the 28th. So I'll be doing the welcoming words on Thursday, July 27th.

So go to LowCountryMhconference.com to register that's lowcountrymhconference.com to register for the low country mental health conference i also wanted to talk to you too and i'll talk to you about it as well people have been calling me like crazy about doing uh the car show in the carolinas uh they've been saying that you know the carolina is filled with with you know families and so many cars and so many things and they would love to pull up and do something special out there. I'm just not familiar with the areas out there so you got to put me on where I could do this car show.

I'm with it, but they do a lot of car shows down there. A lot. But there's plenty of fairgrounds and different places you could do it. You could do it at the Latchin' Fairgrounds. You got to be indoors because we bring the rides and I bring artists' cars. Because I'll bring probably like the baby's cars.

I'll bring so many celebrities' cars that you want them indoors. You just don't want the rain to affect them and no problems and things like that. They got to have ventilation

for hookah too. There's no hookah at the car shows. No hookah at the car shows. No hookah at the car shows. We get Saucy Santana to bring his fleet of cars. That was the last one.

I just think it's so funny that you really don't hookah when you're around Saucy. Saucy, you scared Envy this weekend. He didn't want to put the hookah to his lips because he knew he was in the building. That's crazy. Well, they gave me my hookah when Saucy Santana was performing,

and I didn't want to start smoking because I was on stage. And I'm like, if Saucy turns around and sees me smoking his hookah, he's going to have something to say. So I said, let me just wait until he gets off stage. That's what it was. But anyway, when we come back, we got your rumor report. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Lauren LaRosa. Lauren LaRosa. I've been here for a little bit. I've been here for a little bit. Move out the way. Taylor, Taylor. I think a lot of people will recognize

the voice and the name. It's about on the Breakfast Club. Lauren came in hot. I came in telling the truth. Taylor, you just made that in 30 minutes? I love Taylor. That was so fire. Taylor just whipped up a breakfast in 30 minutes.

Y'all tell y'all I was hungry. I got a little something in here. Actually, I ate breakfast at The Breakfast Club. That's the thing, y'all. It happened. Hey. Yeah, but. Let's get right into your story.

So you were formerly of TMZ. Yes, I was a senior news producer, which, you know, that encompassed me being on air um you know tmz live tmz on tv primetime daytime show but also just producing the news that is exclusive and breaking from tmz um work with a very intimate team of you know people who are really good at what they do i was there for seven a little over seven years um and recently decided, yeah, I got, got some skin in this, have learned a few things and recently decided that, you know, it was just time for me to leave. I think, you know, I have a company called Brown Girl Grinding.

It's a broadcast media production company. We have clients on the marketing side. We are in the show development space. But more importantly for me, my next goal on my list is like, I want want a show i want people to learn me and get to know me and you know my opinions and you know i was working on that with tmz but i started feeling like if i do this here when i leave i can't take it they're not gonna let me own it um you know it wasn't structured the way that i wanted it to be and how i felt like i needed it to be for me to really just grow as a brand and as a company so i had a conversation um internally and from that conversation I just decided that if right now I don't take this leap of faith on myself and launch Bronco Grinding with Lauren La Rosa the podcast which will be dropping next week um I'm always be sitting here trying to

figure out what would have happened if I did it at this time in my life where you know I have the relationships and I you know people care a little bit um so I decided to step away and you said you asked them if you could guest host the breakfast club and they told you no so I will say that everybody there was excited for me to have the opportunity to do it especially because you know there were things that you know we were preparing but ultimately yes I was told no and a big part of that was I saw him like it was your issue with harvey was because of some of the takes that i was told that you took when it came to harvey and trump and you know just him and feeling like from not from my mouth that he was a

racist and i think that what if i said that? I don't When did that happen? So you've never said any of that? No And he was a racist? So where is that coming from? Because one thing Harvey isn't he don't just grab stuff out the air he's very

when he speaks he tries to you know make sure he's talking and it was it was a conversation where it wasn't like I was being reprimanded

or anything like that it was just more so of like you know I have a brand to protect and I don't think that they really knew. I didn't know when I walked in here

this morning what it was going to be like. When I walked in, the music was playing. It was such good vibes, good energy. I feel like I'm at home, but I didn't know

what I was walking into and I think as a person that, you know, owns one of the biggest, you know, media brands in the world, he had to think as... Wait,

he was going to be attacking? But the thing is, I don't think we've ever spoke ill about TMZ. We've been on TMZ, well, I know I've been on TMZ numerous times. think as or maybe he's gonna be attacking but the thing is i don't think we've ever spoke about tmz we've been on we've been on tmz well i know i've been on tmz numerous times they've called me reached out to me i see him all the time and they supported me and i thought the same with you at times yeah smoke between breakfast club and tmz i didn't know nothing about that smoke between myself and harvey i didn't that's due to me i don't even think it's smoke i just think it's

him trying to have a foresight like i don't know where that information came from but that information that he had it was him as you know the leader of a brand having the foresight that he has to not want to risk it's risk over reward right and as a brand owner i understood that so even in that conversation it's still like you know to me it was all love and i i had to understand where he was coming from. But the crazy thing is, and I didn't even get a chance to tell him this. That conversation is what made me decide that I needed to resign because I listened to him talk. And I in those seven years, I've learned so much from him.

Like people say what they want about TMZ, but that team works hard. They're really good at what they do. And Harvey is one of the most dedicated businessmen and newsmen that I've ever met, right? But when I heard him talking and I began to understand that I'm not just Lauren La Rosa here, I'm the girl at TMZ.

I had to, in that moment, say to myself, how much longer do you want to be just the girl from TMZ? Just the black girl from TMZ. And that's nothing. They don't put that title on me. The world does because the brand is so big. And I think, you know, one of the reasons I want to talk about this on air is because I think for anybody that is trying to figure out, like, you know, the corporate structure and how you leverage that. The best way to do it is to be able to have a partner in this.

And it got to a point where, you know, the partnership wasn't working for me anymore. So it's not ill will. I'm not going out and like smoking flames or anything like that. But at the same time, there was a lot of things that I was not okay with that I just had to make a decision for myself. And I'm sure you've seen other people

who used to be with TMZ. They've gone on to have success, whether it's Nina Parker, whether it's Van Lee, Van, yeah, Raquel, like, you know. That's the way it should be though. You know what I mean you should graduate from that

remember I used to always tell people people ask me how is it working and I would say I wanted to go to school for my masters and this was the best masters program

I could have ever done everything that I've learned I will say this and I don't know you can't be 100% correct all the time but one thing I will say about TMZ

is they have journalists that actually do the homework oh yes we do you know and you know dealing with a lot of sites sometimes where people just make accusations and just put things out there.

But I've noticed that TMZ does the homework. So I respect TMZ a lot more than a lot of these other places because they do the homework. They do the background checks. They're going to give you a call. They're going to try to make sure that information is absolutely positively right before they just put something on their site.

It's just amazing that people will be out here having a whole problem with you and having in their mind that y'all got issues and you don't even be knowing well you know a lot of times people come up here and say something and they automatically say it's if anything's negative it's always you and exactly you know i mean it's the same way that i used to always say to people like you guys take things from tmz a certain way because your idea of tmz is harvey you know what i mean so when certain culturally or black related things happen or mishaps happen it was you it was it was instantly they either would come to me but they take it personally

because they think it's coming directly from harvey so things that are like gonna shock the world and heart they're gonna come for you know what i mean charlamagne or whatever i don't know where that came from but i would just like to see the best relationship possible especially because there are a lot of talented black individuals in that room there's a lot of conversation about like like building out black entertainment and a space for that more in that room and i think that it's a big disconnect to not you know be able to have conversations and relationships with you know some of the biggest black voices in the world now that is my personal opinion i don't know if everyone in that room feels that way, but people ask me all the time,

are there other black people there? There are, and they're talented, and they're amazing. The Black Caucus, shout out to them. But, you know? Maybe you got to break in and free them, Lauren. You seen they clone Tyrone, although you haven't seen him. That makes it seem like this is Get Out.

Like, she got to free him. Like, this is Get Out. I ain't freeing nobody. All right. I am minding my business. I have a choice today. I'm choosing them. All right. I am minding my business. I have a choice today. I'm choosing them. All right.

Well, that was your rumor report. When we come back. We did the best thing for you. For Bronco Grinding. Next hour, we'll talk about Elliott Wilson. I know we teased Elliott Wilson, and we were going to discuss Elliott versus Drake. We need to call Elliott. Light skin versus light skin beef.

We need to call Elliott. He's probably rattling loud right now. You know he's sleeping. We should call him. Can you answer the phone? You want to call him? See if your answer is flip phone, man. We need to call Elliot. He's probably rambling loud right now. You know he's sleeping. Can you answer the phone? You want to call him? See if he'll answer his flip phone, man.

We need to call him. Why he got to be playing? What's that laugh he does? Why he got to be playing snake? Why would you do that? Let's see if OG Elliot answered his flip phone, man. I heard that you did that to him.

Jesus Christ. All right, well, donkey today. Who you giving that donkey to? Oh, four after the hour, man. We need a judge named Tracy Sardis from Oklahoma to come to the front of the congregation.

We'd like to have a word with him. All right. We'll get to that next. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Our Audible pick of the day is Snoop Dogg's From the Streets to the Suites. Here's Snoop's journey from the streets of Long Beach to hip-hop legend. Listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible.com slash snoop. I was donkey up to D-Town, baby snoop damn the hee-haw again it's time for donkey i'm ain't trying to be donkey today no more they should be embarrassed by what they already did i'm not making these people do these things called donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard damn Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day for Monday, July 24th goes to Judge Tracy Soderstrom. She is a Lincoln County District Judge in Oklahoma.

I am convinced I said her last name wrong. And I am convinced that society is as unserious as it's ever been. My whole life I was told art reflects reality and maybe because I'm older I'm seeing more of the nonsense but it seems to me things that were once regulated to just tv shows and movies are actually happening in real life. Remember when in certain films or tv shows they would show courtroom scenes and the judge was like you know looking at porn or shopping for furniture just anything other than paying attention to the actual case well america we have reached that point where that is actually happening

in our courtrooms maybe it's always been happening i don't know but nowadays since big brother is always watching folks is getting caught and that's what happened to judge tracy sodascom she was presiding over the case of a man charged in the beating death of his girlfriend's son. Well, during the opening statements and testimony, the judge wasn't paying attention. The judge wasn't paying attention throughout the whole case. The judge wasn't giving a good devil damn about what was going on in that courtroom. Let's go to the news report, please. District Judge Tracy Soderstrom is accused of using her cell phone for entertainment during a trial last month.

That trial was over the murder of a two-year-old little boy. Surveillance video from inside the courtroom leaked to the Oklahoman. A former judge and current attorney, Tracy Schumacher, told KOCO today, using a phone or email during a trial is normal for judges and lawyers. But this footage shows the judge using the cell phone for a purpose that didn't have to do with the trial. She also said for judges like Soderstrom who are coming from private practice to the bench, there's a learning curve. And while this is, quote, a bump in the road, she's hopeful she can overcome it in her judicial career and continue to serve the citizens

of Lincoln County. Judge Tracy Sododerstrom was busy checking Facebook during the trial. This is true. This happened. She was texting and scrolling through social media while this man was on trial for beating his girlfriend's son to death, allegedly. Okay. At one point, the judge was seen searching for a gift. Let me tell you something, man. If the judge is doing all that during your trial, trust and believe their mind is already made up. All right. You go into prison. This is all just formalities. All right. The judge is just there. So they don't get fined. Now, I would assume that's not how a judge is supposed to move. I would assume a judge's job is to not be biased, to not have any preconceived notions about the case, to actually listen to the evidence presented.

But you can't do any of that while you scroll in facebook and i heard the news reports say that it's you know fine for judges to be on the phone i don't want my judge on the phone during my trial okay what if the judge is searching conversations about the case and is basing what you know they believe off what the comments are saying okay look the trial ended in a second degree manslaughter conviction but prosecutors had asked jurors to find him guilty of first degree murder let me tell you something man uh jurors are banned from using cell phones in the courtroom during trials because we want them to be present all their time and attention should be on the evidence being presented shouldn't the damn judge

be held to the same standard if not higher a whole case going on and the judge is just sitting there with the phone in her lap and below the top of the judge's bench while using it already said she would put it in an open drawer now look some people can multitask all right i don't know if it's illegal for a judge to be on their phone during a trial or not but some things that just don't seem right ethically imagine a doctor tweeting while doing some type of surgery on you imagine getting a colonoscopy and then watching the tape back and they paying more attention to memes than actually probing what's in your ass why you go there though because i want you to understand you've had a

colonoscopy i've had a colonoscopy can you imagine if you watch the tape back and you saw the judges on instagram laughing why they supposed to be paying attention to what's going on in your butt but y'all both have been to the dentist too. Why you didn't go there? Yeah, right? You could've went to the dentist. You could've went to so many places, but the fact you went straight to the butt...

Now, there is such a thing called a code of judicial conduct which states the judge shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality... What's the word, Lauren? Impartiality. Yes, of the judiciary. Okay. The code does not specifically mention the use of mobile phones though so technically we don't even

know if the judge did something wrong look man it's over okay machines are man machines versus man the machines of one okay in a few years judges are going to be ai anyway so it doesn't even matter if judges can't help but be distracted by smartphones, what hope is it for the rest of us? Please give Judge Tracy Soderstrom the sweet sound to the Hamilton's. For now you are the donkey

of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehawhaw. All right. Thank you for that donkey today, sir. Yes, indeed. All right, BET, we'll see you tomorrow.

Lauren, say peace to BET. See you later, BET. Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Let's just ask, has being on your phone at work ever got you in trouble? That is the question. 800-585-1051. Have you ever been on your phone at work ever got you in trouble that is the question 800-585-1051 have you ever been on on the phone i know uh one time i was um i was bidding for a car while i was djing and i was so into the bid i forgot that the record was on and the record

just stopped and then it was just dead air people just looking at me crazy but i and i and i ain't even win the bid on the car has that happened to you have you ever been on the phone at work and it's ever got you in trouble lauren yes i was on my phone during it when i first started with tmz i did the tmz tours i was on my phone on the tour bus and i'm in the group chat with my cousins and um my cousin then let me know that my boyfriend at the time, or we were like in a situation. I don't know. But we've been together for some time. Had a baby on the way by her best friend.

So I literally broke down in tears. Could not finish the tour. People were looking at me like I was crazy. We were mid-tour. They had to reroute the bus. And I was like, I will never in my life ever engage in conversation while I'm at work. On the phone. Anything like that with family members.

Anything personal. Why didn't you share with the boss, though? That's a great TMZ story. I could barely... Do you understand how my heart was in my... It was at the bottom of my feet. I could barely speak. They thought that something happened.

I think they thought somebody died. That's how bad... I was like slide down the wall, ugly cry. When did you call your boyfriend? When did you call him to confirm? Oh, no, I knew it was true. It was my cousin. I knew it was true.

Like, you know what I mean? How'd y'all break up, you and the boyfriend? It was bad. We ended up getting back together, but not together no more. Oh, you got back together. So you was going to be stepmama? I was for a bit. I was, you know.

But it was rough. It was a rough transition into, yeah. Jesus. All right. But it was rough. It was a rough transition into, yeah. Jesus. All right. Don't you laugh. What you about to laugh for? What's wrong with you? 800, 585.

I want to know. I'm just messing with Lauren. I want to know. I was just going to say, what a king. But I was just doing that to try. That's all. Whoa. You really want me to get crazy?

I don't know why you want me to get crazy here today. Lauren, don't let him talk to you like that. By the way, King, you have daughters? I'm playing, Lauren. You have daughters? I do have four. Do you want this for your four daughters? But she got back with him.

So clearly he has some redeeming qualities. 800-585-1051. She said that. The D. At least you're being honest. I'm being so honest. Like, look, we've all been there. Jesus Christ.

Ladies, tweet me if you got back with the D. This might be a better conversation than the four words. Yeah, let's change this up. Lauren, this might be a better conversation. I'm being honest with you. Because you're not the only woman who's been in this situation. No, I'm not. You know what I'm saying?

You've been with a man and you like this man and this man cheats on you, ends up having a baby with somebody else, gets somebody else pregnant, but you decide to stay with him. Have you ever went back to the D

even though you was a stepmom? That's what you're asking? Did you ever get to be stepmama? She said yes. Yeah, I mean, but he also, he already had a child. Me and him had, we've been together

for 10 years at this point. I mean, at that point, it was probably like Seven, eight We went to high school together So we already had a child When I met him So the stepmom thing Wasn't an issue

Or a game changer for me We were in a weird situation I moved to LA And so You know it was a little rocky It was like You needed a place to stay still Yo shut up man

Yo shut up man I moved to LA by myself He was still in Delaware Oh gotcha gotcha gotcha So Delaware. It got a little rocky. I'm dating people. We both lying to each other. I couldn't really be as mad. I think that's the only reason why I decided to go back.

If we were committed, even though he was still lying, if we were super committed and my hands weren't dirty too, I would have been like, oh no, I'm good. Let's pivot. I want to hear some stories. Are you in a similar situation? Maybe your man cheated on you, I'm like, oh, no, I'm good. So let's pivot. I want to hear some stories. 800-585-1051. Are you in a similar situation?

Yes. Maybe your man cheated on you, had a baby, went back because the D was so good. Damn. We want to hear from you. Let me clear the lines. Can we clear the lines? Clear the lines. Clear the lines.

Clear the lines. Ooh, okay. We'll take your calls when we come back. 800-585-1051. Tell us about these kings, man. You stupid. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we've got our guest co-host, Lauren LaRosa. Yes, man. Formerly of TMZ, of course. We had to call her audible because Lauren told us a story about this king that she used to date, man.

That was so interesting. He is a king. He is. But you can't call him a king because of what position he had me in at that time. Now, the conversation started about the cell phone. We were saying, did you ever get in trouble at work while being on your cell phone? And then she started explaining the story of a call she got from a cousin about her king at the time. What happened?

What was that call? I got to rehash the story. This is so traumatizing. I'm sorry. No, I'm good. Turn her mic up. She had called me. Not turn her mic up.

I'm so traumatized. Turn her mic up. What happened to you in the Carolinas? Are you okay? I'm just playing. Go ahead. Yes. I was in the middle of a TMZ tour.

Shout out to my tour managers, too. They held me down. I was in the middle of the tour. My cousin called me. We were having a conversation in a group chat, which I thought was a little bit odd. The question she was asking me. Then she called me and you know um this is like never lord we're like mid-break so because of the question she was asking i'm assuming it's a family emergency i

pick up i'm like hey i'm in the middle of a tour she's like okay cool but call me when you are done has pregnant um but yeah so she's like you know your boyfriend has my best friend pregnant and my heart dropped like i've never felt a hurt like that at all ever in my life like i thought my world was ending it was like and mind you there are people on the tour bus and they're literally watching you you're like the like you know how like the flight attendant seat is an airplane you're literally like the the lead of the tour so So we're about to pull off, get back going. And I can barely talk. I can barely think.

I'm shaking. I'm crying. I think the people on the tour and the bus driver thought that someone had passed away. And I just got that type of news. But I thought that that was what was going to come through the other line. Which is why I answered the phone. Because she had called a couple times. And even right now, I remember remember being like my life is over but you spun the block you went back to him i did go back to him what did he say to you tell

us that for those finesse lines everything he said was dumb there was no finesse everything he said was dumb he was lying through his teeth about what he said what he said he wasn't his no he didn't say it wasn't his which which also kind of made me mad because I'm like, you could have prevented this. It's like, where was the protection? Where was the pullout game? What was going on? Damn.

Well, I'm just saying, you know that that's probably not his thing because of how y'all get down. And how long did you stay with him? So at that point we had been together for probably like i would say like six seven years and then yeah we we were high school sweethearts into high school going into college um and then it was bad for some time like i wasn't eating i was i remember my first red carpet for the bet awards was like the weekend after i found out and i told my friends friends, like, I'm not going.

I don't want to go. I'm not sleeping. I'm not eating. I barely had a voice. My best friend flew into LA and was like, no, you're going. Like, we're going to get you together, sis. You're going.

So I did the carpet or whatever. But eventually, once we got back together and smoothed it out, we stayed together for a few more years. So total like 10, 11 years. You stayed with him

a few years after that? Yeah, I did. Don't judge. I'm not judging. I'm just asking questions.'t judge and we we're no longer together now so what was the final straw what made y'all break up break up the final straw was i just felt like we just weren't like we weren't aligned so it was no longer the d you didn't care about the d anymore at that time no you was tired of playing step mama you probably had to change pampers and fix bottles. The kids I loved, that was not the issue. You got to be cool with baby mamas.

I have to be cordial. Yeah. But you don't have to be cool. We're not friends. We don't have to hang out. But you do have to be cordial. There has to be a cordial level of respect. But I've been through all that with him already because he had a kid when I met him.

You know what I mean? So that wasn't new to me. I think the issue was like my mom had got sick about a year ago and when we got through that I just woke up one day and was like like things can get very real are you ready for that oh this is fresh y'all just broke up broke up this is within like this year god damn let me like my polo sign too please light it y'all got me in here oh my god we didn't went from my my work heartbreak to my the boyfriend heartbreak how do you know you over it over it though i know that i'm over it because i was able

to like this this breakup is like different than all the others and i wanted to keep the door open but i think the way that it ended it kind of just like for me i just was like you know this is not has he been calling like crazy? Come over here. Come over. Has he been calling? No, he don't call me. I don't even know where he is in life, but I wish him all the best.

I love him. I wish him all the best. Well, Lauren, we love you. Thank you. I feel it now. Do not light her hair on her. You almost got close to her hair, bro. If you light my hair.

If you lit her hair on her, it would have been the worst. I'm not. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Lupe. Hey, Lupe. Talk to us. What happened with you, Lupe? Well, like I said, like, we were together for a couple of years, you know, but we wasn't in

a rush to have kids, but that was our plan later on. And yeah, his cheating was always constantly. So there's one time he went out to L.A. and I literally told him, I'm like, look, wrap it, bro. Like, wrap it. Because don't come back to me saying you got some female pregnant like come on and he didn't tell me how i found out what's through my friends literally just like um you know just like her like a lot of my friends yeah it's the worst part like

On the same boat Like he knew it Like he straight up knew it It's only cheating Was he still telling you That like he wasn it like he straight up knew it it's only cheating what was he still telling you that like he wasn't doing anything and that he wasn't dealing with anybody like even though you guys had that open conversation that's where it messes up and that's what most men do and i think it's because they don't want you to go do the same thing but i like i know for me i was trying to be honest like yo let's date other people i just want to know what's

happening and if we're going to get back together please don't have a kid and then that was his thing he was like it's gonna work out between us just you know wait for me like i'm working on it but then you totally pop up with this and not tell me at all like all right damn sorry for your mama damn we're triggering a lot of people today man i'm not triggering nobody it's him it's him it's you i am you.

We are The Breakfast Club This room came so depressing in the last 10 minutes It's not depressing, these women are sharing their stories and we're here for them You are not here for us, you think this is comical Lauren LaRosa is here, of course, formerly of TMZ She's been telling her story about her ex that cheated on her, had a baby outside the relationship She got back with him because of the D and other things, and then they recently broke up.

And it's been pretty sad up here. I'm sorry, Lauren. I'm not sad. Oh my God. I'm enjoying life right now. Yeah, Lauren ain't sad. She's just telling her story. Now, her friend in here is sad. Her homegirl that came in here. Her homegirl's like, I got a story to tell too. Come on, come on.

Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. No, please. Please leave her out of it. I want to be able to hang out with my friend. When she get back with him, he's not going to let me hang out with her. If you sit on that side right there, they don't see you.

On that side, the camera sees you right now. She moved to the other side. Monique, good morning, Monique. Good morning. Hey, Monique. Now, you had a similar situation? Yes. I had a boyfriend when I was 20, and we messed around until I was 22.

And then he went to prison for 10 years. And as soon as he got out, about five months later, we were back at it again because it was just so good. Even though I knew I was more mature than he was, he was, you know, he was behind me, you know, 10 years. And 10 years has passed again. And I just seen his picture on Facebook yesterday. And it had me thinking again.

Oh, boy, you about to spin the black twice. That would have had me concerned. I've been trying to figure out why your D game got so good and you've been away for 10 years. What? That's what you think concerned. I've been trying to figure out why your D game got so good and you've been away for 10 years. What? That's what you think about? I'm just serious. Why you so serious?

It was good when we were 24. I mean, it was good back then. Oh, okay, okay. It's the absence of the, you know, makes the heart grow fonder thing. Why do y'all follow these people on social media? I don't. I don't.

I would think that would be tempting, right? No, not even tempting. I think it's just, I mean, when you're in a better space I think you could do that And like if you guys decide to be friends And actually move on But I think in the beginning of it

Especially if you think you're going to go back And you don't want to go back to the situation You should not follow on social media Family members Nothing And there's no shade to nobody It's just you gotta Let it all

Yeah Now Lauren Yes Good morning Lauren This is another Lauren What happened with you Lauren Well I had a toxic 10 year relationship Just because the sex was good

So we started Dating for In the last year We literally argued Then had sex Then argued again Then had sex for 10 years. It was bad.

I don't like y'all reducing men to their penises. It had to be more than just a good sex, man. Of course. We loved each other, but we also hated each other. That's why it lasted 10 years. You know what's so bad, though? When you guys really don't get along and it's toxic like that, it makes it even better. And that's so bad.

Yeah. So you used to argue and fuss just so y'all can have makeup sex? Yes. You know, listen, I feel ashamed saying this, but it was just that good, okay? I don't know what the problem with it. That just turned up for it. But, yes, in the last 10 years so we both realized like we're too old for this what did y'all argue about everything the wind changing this horse like every damn thing

i wonder if there's a way to like uh get tap into that energy just to have the passionate sex you're looking for without making up arguments. Probably role-playing. Probably. It's probably role-playing. Because that's boring. Just having a non-argument conversation with us is boring. So we had to spice it up in that way. That's why it lasted 10 years.

Okay. Well, thank you, Mama. Let's go to one more caller. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Devonia. Hey, Devonia. Now, what happened with you, mama. Let's go to one more caller. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Devonya. Hey, Devonya. Now, what happened with you, Devonya? Okay, so just a long story short, I used to work at a spa center before I transferred over to doing what I do now. I work at a salon now. Shout out to Dollhouse, 5010 East Broadway, Tampa, Florida. Y'all come see us.

But before I started doing that, I was working at a call center where they were really strict on phones because we were dealing with like numbers and stuff which i was understanding but i had a call from this dude at the time who long story short he was my baby daddy with no kids so he's calling me to basically let me know that the girl that he cheated on me with before knew where I worked. She was on the way to my job to my car because she found out that I was still messing with him. So that was the day I ended up getting fired because I was sitting outside waiting for her to come touch my car. And it never happened. Well, OK. You understand the story?

No. She said. I You understand the story? No. She said she was at work and her baby daddy called and said he got another girl pregnant. The girl found out who she was and was going to come to her job to beat her up. She went outside on the phone to wait for it and she got fired. So that's the reason why she was on the phone.

The pregnant girl was coming. I'm glad she didn't come. Yeah, right. But that's what she was saying. What's the moral of the story if there's a moral I don't know Lauren you tell us that last story or just in general it's the D like honestly like I think that we need to be able to think clearly ladies dodge the D like that's honestly what it is like sometimes we're gonna find ourselves in situations we shouldn't but the thing about the d is you don't know it's good until you do it so you how do you you can't dodge good d it's not like we walking around with signs that say

my idea is mediocre mine is amazing i wish that y'all could it would waste i would save a lot of wasted time energy and condoms like honestly but but i mean like your d lauren mild like you don't want a hot sauce you want like a mild sauce he wants his d you heard the question i don't i don't how would you like your d sir i don't pay him nothing yeah look i don't know i feel like the moral in all of this is that things happen and if you choose i think for me and even being able to talk about this because for a long time i couldn't talk about this because it was just like i would i would break i would cry literally um is that life will go on you know you'll be okay but also too if you choose to do something in your relationship it's what it's your choice you have to live with it there was so much going on at that time i did a lot of things that

i you know instead a lot of things i wasn't proud of out of hurt and out of anger and even learning from that there are things that i will never do again like there's no I have no hate towards anybody in the situation beautiful baby boy came out of that situation and I think that like you know looking back on it I wish I had that mindset because again I did and said a lot of things that you know might have been traumatizing for other people and other people involved in the situation so just you know if you can ladies dodge the D and if you can't you gotta you know stand toes down ten toes down and get um decisions but just try not to like you know take out what

you're going through on other people because it's in a situation where you choose to stay other people that are involved they're not making that choice you are that's real all right now when we come back we got your rumor report uh we got to talk about elliot wilson versus drake we'll get to it next so don't move it's the breakfast none of us need by the Drake. We'll get to it next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. None of us need, by the way. Well, let's get to it right now. Wait. Hold on. We're going to play the intro.

Yeah. Okay. We're going to play the intro. Lauren DeRosa. I've been here for a little bit. I've been here for a minute. Move back away. Tell her.

Tell her. Made it. This is the Rumor Report. I think a lot of people will recognize the voice and the name. It's about Tom. On the Breakfast Club. Lauren came in hot you know so before we get into the elliot wilson conversation we do want to take some time

and just send some love to jasmine sullivan um she let us know that she lost her mom recently on the 22nd um over the weekend her mom had been battling breast cancer which they openly talked about i'm not sure if that, you know, was the reason. But she did post and she said, you know, she doesn't have the words yet. So for now, she'll just say thank you. Rest now, butterfly. So, you know, send her some love. Absolutely.

Today is a Gilly's son's funeral as well, too. So sending him some love as well, too. Yeah, definitely sending healing energy to Jasmine Sullivan, sending healing energy to my man, Gilly and his family always. Yes. So let's get into some things. Drake and Elliot Wilson. So for context, for the people who, you know, may not have been familiar with the back and forth, Elliot Wilson, it came out and said that, you know, it just it didn't look good. And he didn't appreciate the fact that Drake does interviews outside of the culture, meaning like, you know, the hip hop related platforms and things of that nature.

This came after Drake did that very viral in the like sit down in the bed interview with the TikTok girl, which got five million views on YouTube. And I disagreed with Elliot when he said that simply because, you know, the last few interviews we've seen Drake done. One was Rap Radar. One was with Elliot. That's definitely cultural. Elliot and B-Dot. And one was Lil Yachty. That's definitely cultural. And then you got to remember, he's one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Right.

So it's going to expand beyond hip hop. And it should. I think that people, we shouldn't be boxed that way. But he did. Elliot did say that, you know, he gave credit to the Lil Yachty situation that that interview. But so over the weekend um rolling loud happened in miami and there were video footage of interviews that elliot wilson was doing where you know like the stand-up stuff or you walk up and you're doing interviews he was doing an interview with trippy

red um and drake came into the comments of where one of the videos were posted i think it was on axe page and said laugh aloud man so basically he talked about me not coming on his platform for a second time and now Elliot is ten toes down doing Yes Jewels run up interviews at Rolling Loud with the laughing emojis just admit that you took over Big Dog with more laughing emojis so it's definitely a shot

back at Elliot Wilson well Elliot gave Drake a jab and Drake jabbed back so I mean Elliot earned that you can't say what you want about somebody and expect them not to respond Elliot responded too

if you have something to say before I go into Elliot's response Elliot responded he said oh it's go time cool what you gonna do Elliot you gonna do a dance record you gonna tweet him to death like come on Elliot the thing is

and I do get it a lot of artists you know when they get popular and they start popping they don't come back to what got them there the thing with Drake is you named the last

four or five interviews and one was Rap Radar which is which is our culture no Yachty one was Yachty which people could say is our culture

and then he's also the biggest pop star in the world so for him to go sit down with this TikTok star right I was looking on YouTube it got like five million views So Yachty. The one with Yachty, which people could say is our culture. And then he's also the biggest pop star in the world. So for him to go sit down with this TikTok star. Right. I was looking on YouTube. It got like 5 million views.

So it made sense for him to do that. Then he turned around and did On The Radar. Right. With Gabe. With Gabe, right. That's our culture. That's definitely culture. It's a freestyle. Absolutely.

And he releases a lot of his own stuff on his own network on Sirius. He releases his own music. And trust me, I don't want to agree with Drake Sirius. He releases his own music. And trust me, I don't want to agree with Drake. Why? I would rather... I don't want to see light on light crime either, man.

Light on light crime? I don't want to see that either. But I will say too, though, there is something Drake said where there is some truth to it. What's that? And it's the harsh reality that everybody,

everybody is going to have to accept. It don't matter if you're a media personality, it don't matter if you're a rapper or whatever. Sometimes do grow out of things correct absolutely it's really that simple sometimes you do grow out of things there's plenty of things i'm sure you get asked to do it of course all the time i'd be like no go call nyla so wait you know what i'm saying but wait because i'll call gabe or somebody to me and i feel like i'm i'm youth i elliot wilson is

like still like i watch his interviews and stuff so like are you saying that they say like he's washed no no no i think you know doing interviews and having conversations is one thing running up on artists at rolling loud that isn't something i want to see elliot wilson doing for elliot wilson to be the the the world-renowned journalist that he is i I don't want to see him doing that. For me, that's a young person's gig right there. To me. My personal opinion. Yeah, I mean, and I love Elliot. Shout out to my Virgo brother.

But my problem is this. Elliot has done, in my opinion, this is my opinion, he's done interviews with Hov. That's right. He's done interviews with Nipsey Hussle. He's done sit-downs with so many different people. So I look at him a lot differently.

And I've been asking to go to the Rolling Loud. I turned it down. I like the BET. It was because I put on the tux. I put on the suit. It's a little different. And you're working the red carpet. And I'm working the red carpet. It's just a little different.

You ain't hustling. That's hustling. When you backstage, you're rolling loud with the microphone. You're looking to see who you can get. That's stuff we were doing when we were in our 20s when we first started so the interview was ushered over to him though like they brought him over like hey you're gonna go talk to elliot wilson is that if he had his own rap radar platform there at rolling loud and it was a rap radar set up for elliot wilson and b dot and they were bringing artists to him to have conversations totally different he deserves that

absolutely 100 i agree absolutely different um ball game my virgo brother that's it that was very light-skinned no that's my Virgo brother That was very light skinned Nah that's my Virgo brother That's my light skinned Virgo brother It's okay I don't like none of it though I don't like Y'all found an Elliot laugh

I don't like none of it I don't like Elliot I don't like when I saw Lil Baby And what's the young brother's name I can't remember the other rapper name They were having a conversation Rilo

Is that his name I think it was Rilo And they were having conversations About who their favorite Hip hop media personality is and you know the brother said sway and then elliot was like he took that personal why why would you take that personal that's sway sway we all stand on sway can i put something out there though yes i feel like one of the things we don't do a good job of and this is me coming from like a different you know i'm younger than you guys it's like when people do get to a point where they should be iconic legendary status and they should be able

to live in that a lot of times like we don't big them up like we like we're left like even with drake this this is going so viral because he's laughing at him and obviously you know maybe it's hitting a bone for elliot like he's been the guy for so long like that transition is not easy we talked about this a little bit men many of y'all egos it's a little bit different for y'all y'all handle things so differently when it comes to aging and aging i will say this with elliot elliot's an icon and a legend from the days of source to double xl to you know to rap radar to what he's created so they can't take that away and there are legends that we do salute like we salute sway that's why i didn't like the jab at sway because i'm like it was it's two people to me in this in this hip-hop media space that nobody can ever say anything about,

and that is Angie Martinez and Sway. You can't throw rocks that they're throwing in no way, shape, or form. They've done things that none of us will even be able to ever do. We're interviewing Biggie. Pac. You know what I'm saying? Sway was in the White House with his hat on. What was he going to say? I don't know what that is saying? Sway was in the White House with his hat on. What was he going to say?

I don't know what that is on his head still. But still, he was in the White House talking to Barack with his hat on. There's certain people you just don't even bother. Sway interviewed Jay and Nas after the feud. Yes. You know what I'm saying? There's certain things that him and Angie Martinez have done that solidified him forever. Nobody can throw rocks at their throne.

One time, Sway was the only person on MTV giving us black news. Sway was a cartoon character on the Boondocks. That's right. Sway was an actual character

on the Boondocks. He was in an episode. Come on, don't play with Sway. We've been doing more. Don't play with Sway and Angie Martinez. I don't want nobody

playing with their names ever. All right. I want Drake to say, stay off their top. I don't know what he be saying. Stay. Drake say, stay off their top. I don't know what he be saying. Stay off their top. Stay off their head. What do you say? Stay off their head. Leave Sway and Angie Martinez alone.

That combination. That combination, you leave those two alone. Lord have mercy. What accent is that though? Whatever Drake was doing in that game that on the ring. That was your rumor report. When we come back, let's get to the mix. Happy birthday, J-Lo. We're going to start the mix off
