Her party was last night. The weather in the New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Baltimore, Philly, DC was disgusting. I'm talking thunder, lightning.

I think we had to swim to her party last night. We had to swim up here from Maryland. It started in Maryland around like 6 or 6.30, something like that. And yo, it was windy, thunder and lightning, everything. And Kristen, I pulled over. I was like, see, lightning, everything and Kristen I pulled over I was like see that's the benefits of being a tractor trailer driver. Hell, he ain't care. I was like I couldn't drive.

I would have been on the side of the road crying praying to the Lord. It's no way. It was crazy. I was disgusted last night but everybody did come out and salute to Lauren LaRosa. She had a nice party. It was packed out. Tasha Smith was there. A couple of people pulled up for her. So congratulations to Lauren LaRosa.

Now, do comedians do something for April Fool's Day? Because today is April Fool's Day. Oh my God, it's April 1st already? Yes. Damn. I guess not. Yeah, I mean, I ain't the one to do nothing. I remember all the women used to be like, I'm pregnant, site. That's not funny no more. That's not funny. And it's not believable. You said it's stressful.

It'll be stressful in your household. It's stressful, yes. But no, I don't do nothing. I've been stopped doing stuff for April Fool's Day. I don't know. There used to be a big comedy night. All the comedians you would go out to, you know, be date nighted. It'd be all the big shows.

You don't play pranks on your kids? Yo, that'll be funny if you prank prank them Babel fools you never did that. What type of prank though? What type of? Or if they prank your ass. Oh my god They don't want to prank me. They don't want to prank me. Nah, you ain't doing. I got too much anxiety and firearms in the house I just never know which way I go when they try to prank that. Damn. Like I never prank my pops my pops I always say he's you know retired police officer. I never pranked him either. I don't want to play those games I don't boo. Ah, shoot me pow. No. That's too much. Yeah, that's too much. Nah. But pranked him either. I don't play those games. I don't boo. Hi, shoot me pal No, that's too much But no, I don't I don't do nothing

Favour fool's day. Hmm. All right. Well, let's get the show cracker. We got front page news I'm sure Trump's gonna be doing a lot of stuff for he ain't joking. No, he's not no April fools. Nothing nothing with him So we'll get to that next with Morgan. So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody It's DJ envy Jess hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club let's get in some front page news. Alright now women's the NCAA tournament did you see the games last night? I didn't. I did I watched a little bit of UConn and USC. Yeah UConn beat USC 78-64 and Texas VTCU 58-47. So the final four set UConn Texas, UCLA and South Carolina.

Let's go Gamecocks play Friday against Texas. What's up Morgan? Hey y'all, hey, it is the first of the month. Wake up, wake up, wake up. And it's also April Fool's Day. But do you know where April Fool's Day came from? No, but as soon as I walked in, one of our coworkers here just screamed out, April Fool's Day, but do you know where April Fool's Day came from? No, but as soon as I walked in, one of our co-workers just screamed out, April Fool's Day!

It's like, yo, you gotta do a joke first, idiot. Okay, okay, so the gag is, well, neither do I, but that part remains unclear as far as where it actually came from, but historically it does date back to the 14th century in France when April 1st was initially celebrated as New Year's Day prior to the creation of the Gregorian calendar. And when that changed New Year's Day to January 1st in the Gregorian calendar, those who didn't know about the change were called fools. And so people play tricks on them.

And that's a little bit of the backstory. All right. That's a little cute little thing. Yeah. Okay. So let's get into the real joke. No, just kidding. But as I mentioned yesterday, president Trump said he is not joking about serving a potential third term during a phone call with NBC News Trump was asked about joking multiple times

Or asked about Joe asked about joking multiple times about serving three terms to which he replied It wasn't a joke now White House press secretary Caroline Levitt says the president is focused on serving his current term, but there are methods that can make a third term happen, so they say. So let's hear more from White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt. It's funny to me that journalists ask the president this question. He gives an honest and candid answer, and then they spiral about his answer. It's been a very successful couple of months and the president will continue to forge ahead to deliver on all of the promises he made to the American people. Except for the grocery prices though, right Charlemagne?

You keep mentioning that one. I already told y'all, I told y'all yesterday, if Trump is saying he wants to serve a third term then that's what's going to happen. He's not saying he's going to run again. He's saying he's going to serve a third term. So y'all can be out here screaming, well that means Barack Obama can run again. If Trump runs, if Trump is saying he's gonna serve a third term, the fight is already fixed. Okay? We're not flirting with fascism no more. We need deep in it.

So yeah, Trump did say there are methods for making it happen and said that... Why is that normal though? That's not normal. Why is everybody just treating that like it's normal? Nobody's saying nothing. In fact, we'll get into what's not normal a little That's not normal. Why is everybody just treating that like it's normal? Nobody's saying nothing. Nobody's saying nothing. Nobody's saying nothing. It's not normal at all. In fact, we'll get into what's not normal a little later in Front Page News in the seven o'clock hour.

Cory Booker has some comments. But Trump said there are methods for making it happen. And he said a lot of his allies want him to, but he tells them there's a long way to go as far as it is early in his administration. And of course, as I mentioned before before serving three terms as of right now is prohibited by the Constitution under this 22nd amendment. Well you know he's been wiping his ass with the Constitution for a while but this is not just wiping his ass with the Constitution he's showing you the doodle on it.

If he seriously if everybody's okay with you know him saying things like that and then eventually him doing it it's over. American democracy as we know it is a wrap. But what can I do to him though? Like for saying those things or for even a legend that that we will never have to vote again Like what is like nothing doing like what can somebody yeah? Nobody can do nothing about that the actions that can be done have to be done in court or in Congress essentially So that's where we are right now, and that's essentially what is happening It's a lot of you know executive orders being orders being signed, a lot of reversals, a

lot of judges being involved. And so yeah, but what are the old ass people doing in the US House? Like the House of Representatives? Like they just be like, yeah, okay. So you guys do know that the Trump administration tomorrow will mark what President Trump is calling Liberation Day. I like to call it Tariff Tuesday, even though it's on a Wednesday. So the new reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect tomorrow against Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union and Trump is expecting five trillion dollars in U.S. investments after his tariffs take effect. He said foreign car makers have been flooding the U.S. market.

Let's take a listen to President Trump. Because that word reciprocal is very important. What they do to us, we do to them. If you look at Canada and Mexico, they were driving hundreds of thousands of cars into the market because they avoid the tariffs by doing it before the tariffs go on, which would be Wednesday. Yes, so over the weekend, while speaking to NBC, the president said at that time he couldn't care less if automakers raise their prices due to the implementation of his 25 percent tariffs on foreign-made automobiles.

In fact, he hopes they do so people will start buying more American-made cars. And he also said that the imposed tariffs, well, they will be permanent. So remember how he kept rolling them back, rolling them back, giving another chance? Well, no, he said this time is the time. So that's your front page news for 6 a.m. on at 7 a.m. Like I said, we will talk about what is going on in Congress. Jess will get to that. Okay All right Well, thank you Morgan and I think what people are saying that they're gonna start buying used cars because it won't affect the used Cars as much so people are gonna start buying used cars and those new cars are gonna be sitting right in the dealerships

Oh, you know, I'm not rapping this morning. Okay. All right, you know if your chest brother I just want to talk about this potential third term of Trump whether you like them or dislike them The man is very crappy smart. Oh, I just. You don't have to violate the constitution to go ahead and get in there a third term. Yes you do. Yes you do. So you don't? Yes you do.

Tell me how you can serve a third term without violating the constitution. Because the constitution very distinctly says that you cannot run again. You don't have to run. Jay, him and JD Vance can switch positions. JD Vance runs, he can be his running mate, he can become vice president.

JD Vance, the seat, his position, boom, you got Trump for a third term. So there are ways around doing it when you're still within the bounds of the law and the constitution. He's just smart with everything that he does. Now, he might not be very nice or politically correct or however you want to say it, but he's smart about everything.

You guys never talk about Apple bringing all this money down. They want to stop making phones over China because of the tariffs. Things like that. So you're bringing all this money over here for jobs and things like that. You guys never talk about that stuff. I want to encourage you guys to at least talk about some of the stuff that could have a positive impact like all these jobs and billions in economy.

Let me let me tell you something. If if if that happens, I'll be the first person on this radio saying what he did work. I don't think that's gonna happen. My brother. You don't think what? I don't think any of that will happen. I think that, you know, these tariffs are going to continue to hurt working class people. The cost of goods is already sky high and not a cost of goods is about to be even higher. And for a person who ran on one word,

which was groceries and bringing the cost of groceries down, we not going in the right direction with that right now, sir. I will agree that it might not be going in the right direction, but I'll count it for tips. That we've been going in the wrong direction for a long time with prices, and it's been for nothing. If we can go ahead and start to suffer a little bit, so at some point you come to house because the tariffs are going to work,

then I'm all for it. You have to break a few eggs to make the omelet, and we've just been breaking eggs without no omelet, the other reign that's been in office all for it. You have to break a few eggs to make the omelet and we just didn't break an egg without no omelet The other way that's been in office Hey people ain't got no more eggs to break brother the plan We even got the eggs to break that people that don't even got eggs to break right now. Hello. Who's this? Yo, what's good? Y'all can hear me? Hey, what's up? Yo, what's good? Keep from Brooklyn. You heard keep from Brooklyn. You heard yo, what's going on?

Hey, yo real quick I just want to talk about the whole term entertaining a whole third term I understand that you know, it's not technically normal, but it happened third to fourth By Franklin Roosevelt. I mean he are for by Franklin and Roses up. FDR. FDR, he did a third term and a fourth term. Yeah, he got four terms. You know what I'm saying?

He actually died. And you know what I'm saying? So even though it's not technically normal, but it often has been done before. And that constitution, it's only been codified since like the 50s. It has though, you know, throwing that out there. All right. Well, thank you, brother. All right. God bless you, guys. Love you.

Love you too, yeah. What he said is right. FDR served a third term and a fourth term. Yeah, but that was 1933 to 1945. He died in 45. What are you talking about? No, he did. Hello, who's this?

Lori missed that one. I guess. She left 10 minutes before, because she said she had another event, so she came early. Literally she sent me a video of her and said, 10 minutes later I pulled up. And I'm like, dang, how I miss her. That's what you get for trying to make a grand entrance. No, I had to get so much help. My family came from Delaware and I didn't expect this. Oh my god people came from Delhi. Girl they on that right here right now they want to see y'all

they want to meet y'all they excited. That is what's up. My mom is still here don't say because my aunt loves you damn but she'll cut you out too. Her. Okay. She from Delhi. Period. The big D. Not the little one. Okay, now to the news. So yesterday, before we went out to the party, we sat down and we did the latest with Lauren LaRosa the podcast and we talked about this on the podcast because this is crazy. Marvin sap now is I guess trying to apologize and take some accountability, but I'm not buying it. Let's take a listen. There's 1000 of you. I said, close them doors, close the doors.

We all going to leave together. There's 1000 of you tonight and those that are watching it's a thousand that's watching online. If I get a thousand online to give this, if I get a thousand in the sanctuary to give this that's $40,000 tonight. I'm challenging each of you all down here to give a $20 seed. But I need everyone standing up here with us, with me, to plant a seed of $100. Because again, it costs to sit up here. And this is what I need you to do. If you're giving electronically or you're giving tangibly, I'm going to have y'all

come to the altar and give it because I need to see a thousand people moving. Take your phone and stick it on the on the bucket giving his worship. It cost to sit up here with the crazy. Exactly. You got to pay to play. That was not him apologizing. That was his original comments but I'm glad we played that first because it's going to make him apologizing not sit well with y'all either in my opinion. Now let's take a listen to him on a Ricky Smiley morning show explaining what happened in the apology. People took issue with me saying, shut the doors. Understand, I never said lock the doors.

Shedding doors means people still have the ability to go in and out. And I can honestly say, you know, looking at the video, maybe I was a little more assertive that I should have been. And I can apologize for that. But number one, the $40 forty thousand dollars if it was forty thousand dollars that was raised was never given to me that money was raised for the purpose of taking care of the budget for their conference. Number two it didn't happen at my church it happened in Baltimore.

Number three people take issue with me being firm with the ushers but the doors needed to be closed and there was a lot of pandemonium stuff that was going on out there. Due to you he said baby it's your fault. Wow. Excuse me. Wow. There was a lot of pandemonium.

Yeah, did you threaten to close the doors on in Baltimore at a church in Baltimore? He said they were shooting outside so he closed the door to make people safe. Oh no. Now hit his head. Hit his head. I didn't hear the door to make people safe. Oh no! Now hit his head, hit his head, hit his head. Okay. I mean, I didn't hear the whole Ricky Smiley interview, salute the Ricky Smiley, but I wish they just addressed the fact, the problem of shaking down folks who may not have it. Like I go to church for spiritual relief.

I don't go to church to get shaken down for money that I may not have. Don't shame me like that. And the same is if you're sitting up here, you gotta pay to play. But like, you know what I mean, like you guys are closer so you gotta pay more. You gotta pay to play. That sounds crazy. That sounds crazy in a church Mr. Stapp. It does. The land up is $20, $5, $10 and to your point, my issue with parts of the and shout out to

Ricky Smiley and the team, hey y'all, but even that little part of it, I'm like, where was the, I needed the rebuttal, the challenge a little bit because it's like, okay, we understand all of that. And Ricky Muro been to church, you know what I'm saying? We all, everybody. I don't care what conference or anything you at, where they putting oil on you. You knew, like to me, and there were videos going viral of other pastors doing this. To me, I feel like this is something, it's like, you're kind of tone deaf just a little bit and it's okay to say you messed up.

And then none of this to me is he saying, hey, I messed up. It's like excuses for what happened. I was just in the moment. I am sorry. You know I don't blame it on the Holy Ghost. Just yeah just take accountability for it. Yeah it was wrong. Especially in Baltimore because I know he ain't even get 20,000 at the closing of the

door. Okay can we go back to the... Sorry no. Okay. Okay. What you know about that? That's why he closed some doors in that church. I can't believe that.

They don't even know what just happened. That's the Baltimore dance. That's a little school. Yeah in the church. I can't believe that. They don't even know what just happened. That's the Baltimore dance. That's a little school. The rest of the piece is a little school. He's a rapper from Baltimore. We sellin' scramble, cookin' smack. That's the Baltimore anthem. Okay.

Now when he heard that, when he came out them church doors. Close the doors. Close the doors. That's crazy. But I heard Capital One was offering him a position to be the ambassador for them. Yo, did y'all see that meme? You posted the meme when it was like, the way they're memeing this is crazy. We'll send you a wallet.

When I send you this, I need my bill, baby. Nobody likes that, man. I remember going to a mosque one time and the guy at the mosque was like, who got the first thousand dollars? And he would not move. They do that at the mosque too? I'm not saying, no, I'm not saying they do that at the mosque. I'm just saying that one particular mosque, the guy was like, who got the first thousand dollars? And he would not I'm not saying no, I'm not saying they do that at the bottom to say in that one particular monster I was like who got the first thousand dollars and he would not move off that thousand for like 20 30 minutes Tithing and you know all in it whatever into the church But I think that it's like okay chill like the way you go about it means

But I want to play this last audio because Marvin Sepp is also saying that he's now receiving death threats because of this. Oh yeah, I heard that. The reason why I'm here is because what has happened is, is people have taken clickbait and made something out of it that it isn't. And because of that, my church has been getting phone calls. People have called my church and cussed me out. My staff are afraid because I've received death threats over $20 and shut the door. So now we've had to update and increase security and all of this is because of a misunderstanding.

All of that is because it cost us to sit up here. That's right. That's right. And it's not that they doing it for no reason They doing it because you are literally shaking down people who don't have it They upset about that. This is called backlash. No, and yeah, I'm not gonna say those death threats to real It's crazy to call the church and tell somebody to go to hell But that's the new bully in the death threats came from Baltimore. Like, who the hell you think you is? But that's the new bully in the death threats. That's what they do. Yeah. But to say people pulling up on you at the church, that's a little crazy.

Pulling up on a pastor at the church. You see what happened to that pastor in Brooklyn. They pulled up on him and robbed him right on that live stream. See, he's different though. He was walking around like full Gucci sets. That's crazy. You know what I mean? Marvin Sapp out there like, he got shot and all that.

Oh, okay. He in the picture. I mean, I don't want anybody pulling up on him. He got shot. Like, it was a bunch. He went through a lot. His story was crazy. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you? Why is my cat not here?

And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real? You will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. But what's inside a black hole?

Hey there, Ed Helms here, host of Snafu, your favorite podcast about history's greatest screw-ups. It's the 1920s, Prohibition is in full swing, and a lot of people are mysteriously dying? Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrandt is becoming increasingly desperate in forcing Prohibition. She was a lone warrior. I mean how could Mabel not be feeling the pressure? Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent,

even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences for drinking hurt a lot more. Which she does, arguably a little too well. Find out more on Season 3, Episode 4 of Snafu Formula 6. Listen and subscribe on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fuelled nightmare. Someone was posting photos.

It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet

Okay Sam, that has to be the craziest story

in OK Storytime podcast history. Well John, that's because it's dumpin' week and this user writes, my partner told me when we first got together that he has cancer. He's currently living with his mom while he's in recovery so that it takes the pressure off me caring for both him and her baby until he's well enough

to move into our new home with us. So far, well, last week we had attempted break-in. I asked my husband who was supposed to be at his mom's to come over and change locks, but he wouldn't. Then his mom told me he wasn't with her. I went to Facebook and it took me less than an hour to find the first two women he was cheating on me with. Oh, what else is he lying about?

Well, one thing my paranoia just wouldn't let up was about the cancer and his treatments I asked his mom about it who told me he doesn't have cancer. She also informed me. He was in rehab not the hospital He suffered from addiction and was trying to recover for me and our baby Did she leave him? Well to find out how the story ends listen and follow the ok storytime Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Something, it was all types of stuff going on. His story is on like bounce or something. It was, it's a movie. You know how they do this on TV one. I'm sorry, not bounce. That's crazy.

No, no, no. TV one. You watch the wildest shows though. The Marvin Sapp story, yo. You gotta watch. I do feel for Marvin. Look at the headlines. It's crazy. It's like Marvin Sapp holds congregation hostage for 40 grand If your grandma was in there, I gotta see you. Yeah, mama was in the you have my mama Yeah, well $40,000 that she ain't got exactly but you never would have made it All right. Well, that is the latest with Lauren

We got front page news Morgan to be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning Now when we come back, we got front page news. Morgan will be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Yeah, so what's up is it's going to be a busy week for the government, basically. So the Supreme Court could rule this week on several emergency applications related to President Trump's executive orders. Those include the deportation of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Trump wants the high court to lift a federal judge's restraining order that blocks the removals. Justices may also decide on a lower court's ruling requiring the government to reinstate millions in the Department of Education grants.

Additionally, a ruling could come down soon on the firing of thousands of probationary federal employees. So we are on SCOTUS watch this week to see what takes place with those cases and those rulings. Meanwhile, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker spoke on the Senate floor yesterday and he criticized President Trump and of course the first friend, Elon Musk. Senator Booker says America's elected leaders have a job to do and he made it clear of his intention to disrupt the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as he

is physically able. Let's take a listen to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker's comments on the Senate floor yesterday. These are not normal times in America and they should not be treated as such. I can't allow this body to continue without doing something different, speaking out. The threats to American people and American democracy are grave and urgent and we all must do more. We all must do more against them. So many heroes before us would say that this is the time to stand up,

to speak up. This is the time. To get in some good trouble, to get into necessary trouble, getting good trouble, necessary trouble and redeem the soul of America. That's a quote from the late great congressman John Lewis. What does that look like though? What does it look like? I mean I hear Cory talking and I like what he's saying but what does that look like? Well, what he went on to say that he repeatedly attacked what he called the Trump administration's reckless actions and warned that the nation is

in crisis. He insisted that the president has inflicted harm after harm on American safety, financial stability, and the foundations of democracy in any sense of common decency. As far as what it looks like, you're right. It's a matter of the, I guess, the Democratic Party rallying and figuring that out. You know, what does that look like? Getting on the same page and moving forward as a collective unit is certainly something that needs to happen, right? So more than nothing, just more rhetoric. So basically what you're saying is until you actually see some action, then right now it's just all talk. No, because I keep hearing all of them say we need to do something and you know these are not normal times. We know all of this but what is the

game plan? Like what are they doing? Like what is the action? Right now it seems as though it's just a matter of fighting in those courts, fighting those court cases, fighting in Congress and you know that seems to be it right now from where I'm standing and what I'm seeing. Gotcha. So nothing. We understand. So in California, switching gears, in California legislation that would give home buying assistance to descendants of slaves is moving forward with major concerns. They're calling this like a reparations bill. It's being approved by the assembly housing community development committee,

but concerns, but there are concerns over its legality and eligibility hangs over it. So Andrew concerns over its legality and eligibility hangs over it. So Andrew Quineo is with the specific, not specific, excuse me, Pacific Legal Foundation. He tells the committee that when the government disadvantages or even advantages individuals based on race or ethnicity, it comes off as very, very suspicious. Let me bring things home to you guys in New York. There's a growing sense of outrage and calls for change in Brooklyn after a black teenager was targeted in a racist attack at a subway station. Now the victim's mother was joined by supporters including civil rights activist Reverend Kevin McCall at the Coney Island Stillwell Avenue station on Friday. Let's take a listen to that.

Let's take a listen to their protests. Let me just make this clear. on Friday. Let's take a listen to that. Let's take a listen to their protests. Let me just make this clear. The police department preaching is in this subway station. So where were they to provide safety? Yes. So basically what happened, police say that a gang of teens from Uzbekistan, white teens, punch and kick and threw bananas at a 16 year old Dakari white who is black While yelling racial slurs this happened about a week ago now Dakari's family says the assault left him traumatized They doing bananas crazy His mother is also calling for more arrests. There was a

One teen who was arrested in charge with assault his family, Dakari's family is calling for more arrests and more to be done. So here we go with these types of situations. Nah, as they should, because if it was any other ethnic group, they would be on, they would be looking for those people, you know, sun up, sun down trying to find those people. If it was the LGBTQ community, they would be looking sun up and sun down for those individuals. Throwing bananas at a gay man after you beat him up would be crazy. Oh my God. That would be insane.

So the fact that they did that to this young man and threw bananas at him and racial slurs, they should be looking sunup and sundown for these individuals. They should be. And I'm shocked that New York City with all the cameras and everything everywhere, they haven't found these people yet. Because that's a very distinct crime. You're using props throwing bananas? True.

And we know what the story is. We know what the the story where you know you're probably calling them a monkey if they're throwing bananas. Of course. So that's to me, that's also premeditated. Yeah, like they had to go buy them. Like the right just walking around with a bunch of bananas, they had to go buy them. That's true. Right, right.

That's what I was getting ready to say Jess. Well, that's your front page news y'all and I will continue to keep you guys posted. Make sure you follow me on socials at Morgan Media and for more news coverage follow at Black Information Network, download the free iHeartRadio app and visit us at BINnews.com. Thank y'all. All right. Well, thank you so much. Thanks, bro. Now when we come back, Roxanne Shantay will be joining us. You know, she recently got an honorary Grammy at the Grammy Awards. And not only that, she recently got her first million dollars and she'll tell us what rapper actually gave her that so we'll get to that next

don't go anywhere it's the Breakfast Club good morning. The Breakfast Club Morning everybody it's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, Naga, we are the Breakfast Club Lauren LaRosa is here as well and we got a special guest in the building we got the Queen and Queens get the money. We have Roxanne Shante. Welcome! Thank you, thank you, I appreciate that. How are you feeling?

One, I feel absolutely blessed. Okay. You know, and I feel good, I feel good. I think I've learned to age, and I enjoy it. So because I don't fight age, I feel good every day. Back be f***ed, back be messed up. I feel good. I feel good. Well, congratulations.

You got a lifetime Grammy achievement award. Yes. How did that feel? That was amazing. You know, when they first even contacted me and told me, like, listen, we're going to give you a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys. And then when I heard the class that I was in,

which happened to be Prince and Frankie Beverly and Frankie Valley and Taj Mahal, the clash, you know, when you first hear all of them and then you say, OK, and you're Frankie Valli and Taj Mahal, The Clash. You know when you first hear all of them and then you say okay and you're adding Roxanne and Shantay, it was just incredible to me. But it also shows perseverance, it shows patience, it shows something that you know a lot of people need to have that understanding that when it comes to hip-hop and even when it comes to getting into entertainment and careers, some things are going to take time. Sometimes it's the slow grind.

You know it's the slow burn. You know, it's the slow burn that makes the incense smell good. Did they have a hip hop category when you guys were first putting out records? No, they didn't. And then all of a sudden they did come up with one. And then I remember we had to, everyone got together and wanted to boycott because they had took it back out. Then they added it in. So yeah, definitely. Was it bittersweet a little bit because it was like, I feel like I should have been recognized a long time ago for my achievements and what I've done

in this industry. Honestly, no, because if I was going to get a Grammy, I would prefer to have it for lifetime achievement. That means that it really focuses on everything that I've accomplished. You know, like when you see my Grammy, my Grammy represents the person who didn't sell millions of albums. You know, my Grammy represents the person that said no to a lot of things that people said yes to. You know what I mean? So therefore it has like a little more of a significance to me personally. So I would love to have it that way as opposed to, you know, because sometimes people will

look at a Grammy and say, okay, well, we know they're going to get the Grammy this year because they had the hottest video and they had the this and they had the that. But in order to have a lifetime, you know, you have to put a lifetime in and now everybody's gonna last a lifetime. Some people gonna get a hot five years. Some people might get a good 10. You know what I'm saying? I've had a strong 40. You're the first solo female rapper to do that, to do so like to receive this recognition. Absolutely. That's amazing. Yes. What was sitting in that moment like for you? Because it is a first, you are getting it because of the entirety of your career, not just a moment.

When you get that call and you're sitting in it, is it like, woo, wow, or is it like, boom, duh? No, for me, it was like, really, it was like hard, it was hard for me to just understand like this is really happening. Because when you come into the industry, you come into the industry for like three things. And that's to get a record deal, because you want to make sure that you get a record deal, so you're going to make a lot of money. And then two, you want to make sure that you do that great album, you want to go platinum, you want to be on Billboard, that type of thing.

But then you also want a Grammy. I think everyone that goes into the music industry, you know, as far as a performer or making records, you want a Grammy. So for me, it was like after a while, I didn't expect that. But I also knew that I wasn't going to stop being me me Like I was not going to change being Roxanne Shantay So if I was destined to have a Grammy then it's gonna come whether I sell a million records or not And that's the reason why I sit in there. I was like, okay I'm really sitting here like I am really next to them like literally I had to reach out and touch people cuz I was like

Yeah, let me just make sure you know and I took my daughter with me and I kept touching her and she was like, Ma, you're gonna mess up my makeup. I'm touching her face. You know, that type of stuff. But yeah, so definitely I truly enjoy it. I wanted to ask, you know, I was talking to Sydney who's there, she does our digital and she was like, you know, she watched the Roxanne Shante movie, loved it. And she was like, you know, she really didn't go into the group homes that she went into

and this, that and the other. And she was like, you know, she really didn't go into the group homes that she went into with this, that, and the other. Why was that taken out? Why was that not addressed? Because I even heard you say something that, you know, you've seen a better situation in a group home than in an actual home. Yes.

So why was that taken out so much? You know, when we did the Roxanne, Roxanne movie, you know, a big shout out to Pharrell, Farah Switika, you know, Mimi Valdez, Nina Bonjovi, big shout out to them for making this happen. But when we did the movie and when I told the story, literally every day everybody was in tears, you know, because I was in the streets for a very long time and being a young girl in the streets and being a pretty girl at that, you know, there's a lot of things that

can happen, you know, and it makes it makes you kind of cold, it changes you a little bit. And so we only did three years of my life because at first we weren't really prepared, felt like the world was prepared for the full Roxanne Shantae story. You know what I'm saying? It's not something that you can really sit back

and be like, you know, it had a lot of gasping moments. And then when we were doing the movie, one of the things about it was the young lady who played me. Her name is Shantae Adams. It was her first time. She had just came out of school June 26th and July 5th we had her already taping. This was her first time. She had just came out of school June 26th and July 5th we had her already taping. This was her first time being in a movie and there were a lot of

things I didn't want to subject her to. You know what I mean? Because I knew that coming in the industry, it's whatever you are first presented as is what you continue to be in the industry. I don't care how much you try to change, they see you as that first time they were introduced to you. And so I didn't want her to have any nude scenes I didn't want her to have any strong sexual scenes I didn't want her to have any strong abuse things So that this way her standard for what she is going to have in the industry and it shows in the work that she did Following up right working with Denzel and doing such other great movies and doing plays and stuff like that

I was also thinking about her so I was like listen We can't put that in but it'll make a hell of a buck. You know, we can't put that in. But I want to talk about this part. And then even the extension of my movie, because people say it just stopped so abruptly, I didn't get a chance to introduce them to biz. So now, who V has done the extension of that. So now we're looking to like the part two of everything that I've done is now getting ready to show up in this new project, which is incredible to me. Now break down with Kuvi here, the legendary Kuvi. Can we get a chair for Kuvi in there?

Absolutely. While we're getting a chair for him. Now how did Biz get introduced, Biz Markie? How did he get introduced? He was sleeping in a hallway in Queensbridge. That was my introduction to Biz. Was sleeping in a hallway in Queensbridge, but he was sleeping there because he was working with

Shan and he was, Biz had the energy that we all needed because he said, we're gonna be stars. And I really couldn't see that because we're sleeping in the movie theaters on 42nd street. And I'm putting my feet across Biz's lap because I hate sticky floors. Like still today, like I will lose it. Right, right, right.

If the floor is sticky, I will get up and mop in the middle of the night. That is one of my things, you know, because I don't want the floor to be sticky, you know. And so for me, one of the things was Biz would always say, don't worry about it, Shani. Like we're going to be stars. And I mean, we got Karate Flicks playing. I mean, if anybody that went to his funeral, they saw that we, you know, I kept my word at the end of everything that we were going to do regarding it. But he had that energy that we all needed.

And even when my DJ told me like, you're listening, I'm not gonna play for you no more. He said, look, I will beatbox the entire show for you. And he beatboxed so much that night, he literally had to put his lips inside of ice water. Yeah. So these are the stories that people didn't get a chance to see. So that was the extension with Kuvi saying, you know what, the story has to be told and there's no way that you can tell a Kuvi Bismarckie story without Kuvi. Of course.

So Kuvi gives you the whole vision of how it takes place from Kuvi's eyes and what he's seeing, you know, which is incredible. And my daughter gets a chance to play me, you know, because well, it's going to be Roxanne. Sean, that's right. OK, that's how you do it. All right. We got more with Roxanne, Sean T when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. And we're still kicking it with Roxanne, Sean T, Kuvi. How did you know Biz Markie was the one right?

Because if you look at Biz, you've biz ever been around biz you'd be like No way he's gonna be a successful rap because he always is joking. He's always that he was like the big teddy bear I'm like, how did you know he was gonna be the one because he never gave up He literally drink like on moments when I was like listen I'm about to go back to dating hustlers. Is this not working? I've been there. Yeah, exactly. Like, listen, I need a fur.

Y'all playing. And I know I can get this. And so he still had that like, no, this is what we're going to do. This is it. And so even going through, you know, not only going through group homes, but also going through foster care, Biz always wanted to be loved. He always felt like he was the last to be chosen. He was the last to be picked. He was the last to be fed. He was the wanted to be loved. He always felt like he was the last to be chosen. He was the last to be picked. He was the last to be fed. He was the last to be

dressed. And he was like, don't worry, we're going to be the first. You watch and see what happens. We're going to be the first. So nobody knew the backstory of what we were going through in order to even become this. Like before the Roxanne Shantay and the Roxanne's revenge, you know, nobody knows about, you know, 42nd Street and being night kids and different things like that. And with Biz, you just knew that there's something magical about him, like literally when you looked at him, because he wasn't the nice looking one,

and he smiled like as if they was bright whites, and baby they wasn't, and he used a smile, and he just had this whole vibe about him that was just incredible. And you say, you know what? His energy and his magic rubs off, baby, they wasn't and he used a smile and he just had this whole vibe about him that was just incredible and you say you know what his energy and his magic rubs off because sometimes we just need that magical person next to us. You know what I mean? And then he made all of us have that magic and I realized okay you know what I can be

that magical person for somebody because Biz was that for me. So you become an incredible hype man but then then before you know it, you become the front man. Was it true that Biz had ownership, or part ownership of Teletubbies? Was that true? That was always a rumor that went around. I was just curious what that was. You mess around with Biz.

Don't ask me that. Don't ask me that. You mess around with Biz, he only has Fabby. Hold up, I got to with Biz, did you? Nah, well. Biz could create some entertaining stories and because of that is another reason why he was one of the greatest entertainers ever.

So no, I don't know, you know what I'm saying? Because that's between him and his estate, whether or not he get that telly-tubby money. You know what I'm saying? But if that's the case, then I'm definitely the purple one. Mm-mm. The reason I say that is that was one of the one interviews But if that's the case then I'm definitely the purple one. That was one of the interviews I'm upset we missed, right? I would always see Biz on the road, right?

Because Biz, after he raps he started getting into DJing heavy and I would always see him on the road and I would always say, you gotta come. And he would call Charlamagne, he would call myself and that was the one that I was like, I would just love to sit down and just talk to Biz. I would've loved to, man. Well, you know, like, Biz was the connector. I'm still with her to this day. He connected me with everybody, like all of us.

Like she shared her platform, Biz connected the other pieces to go to the puzzle. And you know what I'm saying? And like she said, his stories, whether they were true or not, it made you feel good. And that's why everybody loved him. Everybody was his friend. Everybody was his cousin.

Everybody was his family. You know what I'm saying? So you would love the stories because the stories would get your attention to pay attention to the talent. And his talent was, he believed. He believed, like you say, the little engine that could, that believed like you say the little engine that could. Yes. That was the ultimate hip-hop little engine that could because he didn't wasn't the best rapper. He wasn't

the best beatbox. He wasn't all of these things but he loved to do it and he said we're gonna be stars. We're gonna be stars. Watch, watch. And when he said it you know as much as you would say yeah, right It put that battery in your back to say let's go Let's make it happen. And then we put we all did you know say cuz everybody got they super talent Right, we like, you know, we combined forces and we became that juice crew all-star thing. We like the super friends Yeah, we're super friends. We came together everybody got their own talent and we respected each other's talents But we all pushed each other to be better Alright, if you're just checking in we're still kicking it with Roxanne Shante and the legendary DJ and producer Coovie the one thing that I was always bothered me about legends is I felt like you guys crawl

So everybody else can run Right, and I always felt like I love the flowers and I'm sure you guys love the flowers too but I always felt like the industry did you guys dirty right as DJs producers rappers performers you know they ate and made billions of dollar off this thing that you put on your back and did it for the culture and did it because this came from the heart and I don't feel like you guys ever made the right money for that. You know what I mean? Because you still had to put your kids through school and your kids through school.

How did that always make you feel like the industry did you dirty? Like you never got what you deserved? You know, for me, I think I might be one of the only ones that was not angry. Like I just was never angry. I felt like what I'm supposed to have, I'm supposed to have. What I'm going to get what I'm going to get I'm going to get it is destined and so I never looked at it like okay Well, why aren't they picking me and why don't I have this and why can't I have that?

Instead I would look at some of the things that some of the artists would go through because if we look at it now Like if we tally up everything right now I'm in a better position than anybody that was hot in the 80s. And that's both financially, mentally, physically, at this point in my life, I am better than most of them, if not all of them. And the reason why is because I was willing to wait patiently until the universe said, here, you can have it. I came in the industry at 15. At 15 years old, you give me a million dollars, it's going to be gone in a year. Why? Because I'm going to want a car, I'm going to want this, I'm going to want that, I'm going to want these things. Okay, so now

you give me a million dollars in my 50s. I'm going to maintain that for the rest of my life. Why? Because I've already been put in a great position. And when we talk about being put in a great position, you know, I'm on I have a show, you know, Have a Nice Day, LL Cool J's Rock the Bells Radio, and I have a show, you know, have a nice day, LL Cool J's Rock the Bells Radio and I have a show and we started off with 30,000 listeners per day and now we're reaching millions per day. So he had LL seen the vision and was like, look, your voice and your storytelling and your experience, we need to have you on every day. So he set us up. So automatically I went and got Koo V because there's no way that I could be in any position of growth and not look behind me and see one

of my Jews crew members. Like they have to be in the room. I need them in the room. That is the energy and the magic that comes along with being loyal to each other. So when I look over and I see V, I know I'm going to have a nice day. I know I'm going to have a great day. So because of that, the success of that, and then along comes the Paid in Full Foundation, which Nas is a part of, and because of the Horowitz's. And they say, well listen, you know what? We want to sit you down and this is what we want to tell you. For everything that you've done in the industry, for all of these years that you've done all this hard work and you've been overlooked and

you've been overshadowed and all of these other things, we have something for you. And we want you to know that this is what you can have. So literally, they made me a millionaire. So when they made me a millionaire, I remember doing an interview, and they said, well, now that you have the money, which I would have never saved from then, the money that I would have never had from then, you know, from everything that went on between people going through drugs and different things like that. Now that you have this money, what is it that you do now?

And the first thing I said is sleep. Because I never knew what it was to sleep. I knew what it was to rest. I knew what it was to take a nap. I knew what it was to catch a quickie, that type of thing. But I never knew what it was to sleep since I was 15 years old. Never knew what it was like to just get under the covers

and sleep. So when I received the check, I slept. You know, and I told him, I said, like for the first time in my life, I know what it's like to sleep. And not worry. And not worry. And not have to be woke up

because now I got something to do, a job I have to do. You know, now do I get up to go to work? Absolutely, I love my job. I do what I do. But the main thing is I now know what I have to do. You know, now do I get up to go to work? Absolutely. I love my job. I do what I do. But the main thing is I now know what it is to sleep. And so some people don't understand that. You know what I'm saying?

Like for me, that's what it was. So that money bought me some sleep. All right. We got more with Roxanne Shantay. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. And we're still kicking it with Roxanne Shantay.

Cool V. Jess. Going back to what you were talking about,'re still kicking it with Roxanne Shantay cool V Jess going back to what you were talking about about the movie the Roxanne Shantay movie, right? The young lady that played you I know you said that she was right out of what acting school She just graduated out of Carnegie Mellon just just graduated, right? And you said there was a lot of things that you didn't put in it because you didn't want to subject her to that you didn't want her to do that was that also because you felt like she was so fresh and knew that she wouldn't be able to embody all of that trauma? Your story is enough to, like you said, people were crying on set every day while you're telling them the stories. Do you feel that she could really convey that with her being such a fresh, like right out of

school? Well you know, honestly she won breakout actor of the year from Sundance from my movie. So it was never a question of her ability, it was how would they see her? Like I sat back and I noticed that there were a lot of actors that had played parts that were never able to get out of them. So if she played Roxanne Shante, you know what I'm saying? And baby my numbers was high. Like I had baby. And I didn't want to put her in all of those positions. You know what I'm saying? Literally. You know, I didn't want to do that to her. And so I just wanted to make sure that when they viewed her, they saw the talent that

had to be played emotionally in every part rather than have her play something else. So that's really what I felt from that. I wanted to go back to something you mentioned too with the Rock the Bells with LL Cool J. I was reading about, I think this was when he was advertising last year's show, the owner, you got your minority owner in the brand too. That is amazing as well. And I think that I think a lot of people don't talk about that part of what he does with Rock the Bells and how important it is and that being the foundation.

Can you talk a little bit about his first phone call to you about that and kind of how that felt and how it came together? This whole thing came about in order for me to have to have a night stay show was I did an interview and I was doing an interview about the movie and I was doing the interview with Elle and we're sitting there and we are talking and we are laughing and he is saying you know what I feel like you're interviewing me he said you need to be doing this he said I'm getting ready to start up this company and I'm getting ready to start this radio station he said look this is what we gonna do B that's how he does he

go this is what we gonna do B. He still be licking them lips yeah yeah yeah yeah he's still does he's like yeah so look this what we going to be I'm gonna make you part owner which means everything you work for and how you build this you're gonna see the benefits from it you know and not that that was more of an incentive for me to work harder because I was gonna work harder for him anyway regardless I was gonna do this I'm gonna always put my best foot forward you're're my brother, I trust you. This is what you say we're going to do. This is what we're going to do.

But just know that the checks on the back is a nice incentive. You know what I'm saying? That's a nice little come along to know that you're an owner. But then it also makes you know the importance of how we represent it. So yeah, so definitely. So the phone call was like, it wasn't even a phone call. It was a face to face and literally I left LA when we did get to New York. He had already set it up for me.

He was like, look, I know that you had not really done radio and this is not something like I didn't know how to work a board and everything else. So they had to get a whole team together for me. And getting a team together was like a difference because I didn't just come on as talent. It was like, okay, we're going to get everything that you need. And all you have to do is be you. And that's exactly what he allowed me to be, you know, and being an owner and, and having others that are also owners is just

incredible because it makes you say like, look what we've built, you know, look what his vision saw. And he understood the importance of ownership because he was like, you've done so many things and you've built so many things for other people. Now it's your turn to say, look, this is what I built and this is what we have. And I thank him for that. Like literally we call him the Todd father. You see him rockin right now. You know what I'm saying? Listen, cause everything he said in the beginning and I wasn't even there for that. She told me all of that, but everything that he said in the beginning, what you see now, he said it back then. We've been on the radio for five years now.

He said it then. I love it. Talk about the importance of Nas, right? You said Nas made you a millionaire. Yes. Talk about the importance of Nas, because I feel like Nas is, and Ella, both of them are like the forgotten artists. And when I mean the forgotten, we all know they get busy, or we all know they got classic

albums, we all know they get nice, but I don't think we talk about them enough. So talk about the importance of Nas to you and you know with Nas it's like watching my little brother grow up and be exactly what I knew he was going to be you know people would say to me all the time like why didn't you ever say about how you and Nas met and I said because it was genuine. That's me talking to my brother that's not a conversation that I'm going to tell everybody. I'm not going to tell you every time I tell my sisters or my brothers that I'm going to beat them up if they don't do right. I'm not going to do that. And so he chose to reveal that to the public. He did that first in his documentary.

He was like, listen, and then Shante said this to me and it made me understand that because you can see even with your siblings or even those who are in your neighborhood, because growing up in Queensbridge, you know, where there's 15,000 tenants on paper, but 30,000 any given day, because somebody's always living with somebody, somebody's always on somebody's couch in the projects. But that was like a little city, but we all knew each other. And I remember seeing Nas and saying like, yo, you're going to be great. Like it's just... Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you?

Why is my cat not here? And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real? You will use a suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. What's inside a black hole?

Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent, even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences for drinking hurt a lot more. Which she does. Argu arguably a little too well.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fuelled nightmare.

Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet

He wants to stay together because he has cancer. Should I stay? Okay Sam, that has to be the craziest story in OK Storytime podcast history. Well John, that's because it's dumpin' week and this user writes, my partner told me when we first got together that he has cancer.

He's currently living with his mom while he's in recovery so that it takes the pressure off me caring for both him and her baby until he's well enough to move into our new home with us. So far. Well, last week we had attempted break-in. I asked my husband who was supposed to be at his mom's to come over and change locks, but he wouldn't.

Then his mom told me he wasn't with her. I went to Facebook and it took me less than an hour to find the first two women he was cheating on me with. Oh, what else is he lying about? Well, one thing my paranoia just wouldn't let up was about the cancer and his treatments. I asked his mom about it, who told me he doesn't have cancer. She also informed me he was in rehab, not the hospital.

He suffered from addiction and was trying to recover for me and our baby. Did she leave him?

I'm from Queens So it's how I grew up is what I saw is what I lived and I feel like these stories need to be told so much More you hear these stories when it comes to country music

You hear them when it comes to pop music and I feel like we should hear stories when it comes to country music, you hear them when it comes to pop music, and I feel like we should hear it when it comes to hip hop because there's so many Avengers and superheroes that helped me get by and that I was excited to. I mean, I remember, it had to be 15, 20 years ago, and you called me to do your opening of your ice cream shop. Sure did. Yeah, I mean. Sure did.

I don't believe that's number one I don't fart in my clothes. How old are you? 46. And you never farted in my clothes. I don't fart in my clothes. That's disgusting I don't fart in my clothes. So I'm just letting y'all know that so if y'all see me squirming is cuz I'm gassy Also, I want to tell y'all that the paperback of my third book getting on us to die lying came out today kind of segue Was that today's April 1st? So yes, it's out today. Yes. Yes available everywhere you buy books. Listen life moves on Well, let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell us, man. She gets into somebody that knows somebody.

She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on you. The sound of things. The largest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. But what's the latest?

On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right, y'all. So as you guys know, young scooter passed away over the weekend. And we had some questions even in the room when I reported it about there was like a woman that people mentioned and then they police find the woman and all that stuff. So there has been a 911 call that was released by police in Atlanta that paints a different picture of the stories that were released in the beginning.

Let's take a listen to that 911 call. Tell me exactly what happened. I'm the neighborhood watch and basically these guys have their, they're like selling drugs in and out of the house. All you see is guys coming in and out of the house with guns and stuff. They holding guns in the air. I'm not sure if they're pimping. This girl doesn't have on any clothes. They threw outside. He literally fought the girl

It sounded like they were fighting over drugs and then they started shooting Serving an area fire. I would say three when did it happen? It's happening now And I'm from 273 William now drive. Yes, and the girl is hurt because she was like bleeding profusely like blood everywhere She ran outside naked and then he was fighting her outside. She tried to get away, he dragged her back in the house. So now they're at the door. He's refusing to let her out. There's also a child in danger as well

because she has a baby. Yeah, so when I heard this audio, first of all, it's very descriptive. The woman says that she is neighborhood watching. people are like, okay, is this legit or not? And I did reach out to police in Atlanta who confirmed to me that this 911 call is legit. They are right now actively trying to find this woman. She called from a 911 only phone, which is basically like, you know, they have like those

emergency lines or like where you can only call out if something's wrong in a community or like, you know, even on like the side of the highways like I don't know if it was. I ain't never seen that. Yeah I ain't never seen that at all either. A 911 only phone? Yeah so it happens. When you don't pay your bill you can call 911 only.

No well they I know I don't know if hers was set up like this but I know like if you go to in sometimes different communities or like on the side of the highways or whatever there are certain emergency phones where you can literally only call for emergency emergency phones on the side of the highway, especially on college campuses or nothing like this though. According to what the police released and what did they describe it? They describe it as a 911 only phone and that is what is making it hard for them to backtrack who this woman is and where she called from. But they are looking for her right now.

They have a 5k reward out just for information of who this woman is because imagine if they can sit down and have a conversation with her now they can kind of understand what led up to young scooter feeling like he needed to run away from police when they came and just everything that we've heard about this woman. So is the call real or fake? The call is real. But I already thought the police said that there was no signs of blood or no woman that she described.

And that's why everything just changed once this audio dropped because when they got there they said that somebody shut the door on them and they saw no woman. They saw none of what we're hearing. But there is a woman who describes this so they have to investigate it and if what she is saying if she can corroborate in any sort they got to investigate it. Now did they also say when they pulled up they seen a car with shots in it or something like that? I don't remember if it was a car but they did say that there were gunshots that went

off and I don't know if it was because of this car or if it was because of anything else but they did say that gunshots went off. But the woman in question, they haven't located her. They're trying to figure it out. So they want to talk to this woman behind the car but they also want to talk to, of course, the woman that we have no idea about now. It's crazy, right? switching gears so crime mob This video there's a video circulating right now from 2024. So the video is not new. The interview is not new

But crime our princess of crime mob sat down for an interview and she talked about the reason why crime I broke up and people are like what let's take a listen. What is it that possibly Princess did wrong potentially to separate this group? Okay. Y'all ready for this? Me and my brother went to Six Flags. We came home, we called Diamond. We told her we saw Michael Jackson at Six Flags and then Michael Jackson wants to get on the gift you book and that he just left our house and she needs to come listen to his verse. And she ran all the way from her house to ours and she believed us and it hurt her. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We told, Michael Jackson. Prince, are you being f***ing serious right now? I'm so serious.

I'm so serious. How old were y'all when this started? 16! The started crime mob. Yes! If I would have known, 20 years would go by and you would have a beef with me, I'm so sorry. Okay.

That's funny. So she really left the group because she thought Michael Jackson was really about to jump on... Yo, you really thought that though? You know somebody in here that would do that? So she really left the group because she thought Michael Jackson Yo, you really like you really thought that though, you know somebody in here that would do that like you left the group You really that you would leave the group of somebody Be the one to leave I think we how would sound? How would Michael Jackson even sound on the computer? I don't know, but the fact that nobody has produced that yet with AI is bothering me.

How long has this story been out? Hold up, this is from 2024. But hold on, because you know we gonna get to the bottom of things here at the Breakfast Club. No verse. I like that, nah, nah, nah. See, they ain't have enough money for no verse. Period.

I wanna hear somebody do, I wanna hear Michael do Princess's verse. I want somebody hear somebody do I want to hear Michael do princess's verse I want somebody to do the AI and wow princess's verse be Michael Jackson Wow that's what I want she's gonna be mad then cuz now you're replacing people and listen I love diamond and princess but diamond if you believe that and you just wanted to leave the group you was looking for a reason she had a car back there she had to run all the way to there.

God damn musty to meet Michael. And wait, wait, wait. She did say they were 16. So they was young. They was young. Yes. Yeah, but they, she said that they haven't been speaking for about like 20 years. Princess and Diamond was up here on the Breakfast Club together in 2019.

They made up over different times to do shows and stuff like that. Go on tour. You lie to me about Michael. I'm not going to lie to you. First of all, I don't believe this story. Princess was just playing with people. I don't believe that story. I pressed the phone.

That had to be the cherry on top or the straw that broke the camel's back. They had to be going through something else. Well, I'm saying. And Michael Jackson was just the tipping point. Exactly. If Diamond believed that, she wanted to lead the group. She was just looking for a reason.

Okay. Well, this was a legendary Jerry's podcast and he kept asking her, this not real. Are you serious? This not real. Like for real, this not real. Michael would have been all right on Nuck if you bucked him. Nah, real. Yeah, now that I hit. You heard it? Cause you know a lot of those, a lot of those Norrie records that Pharrell produced, I think they said Super Thug was for Michael Jackson.

Super Thug? Yes, the what what what what what that was for Michael. Oh wow. He just didn't want it. But he didn't do it. That's why it didn't fit him. Right, right, right. It probably just didn't fit him. What what what what what that was for Michael? Oh wow? Yes It would be different but like I can see where you going with that hmm But he would he would do good on not gonna be but it's the beat It's a Negro spiritual if you got any type of black in you you can do something on that if you buy yeah And I'm not for sure why this video went viral now because it's not a new video, but I will say last August was the 20th anniversary of Nuck if you buck.

So maybe people are just going down memory lane. The wedding anniversary? The 20th year anniversary of Nuck if you buck. 20 years ago. Well, I was 12. Jeez, 13. Y'all good, Uncs? How y'all feel?

20 years ago. He was older than that. 26. 26. I feel like I was still in college when Nuckabee Buck came out. Boy, shut up. Boy, you be trying to sound so young. I could have swore we was fighting in college with that.

No, you were fighting. I was in Pampers. You were fighting college in the 90s. What's wrong with you? 2000, sir. Nuckabee Buck came out in 2004. OK, so it was close. I was 2000 when I graduated.

Oh, for real? Okay. Damn. Alright, oh, hands. I know that's right. Y'all still dance to it now, don't you? Yeah, we do. Alright.

Can y'all still dance to it or no? No. Okay. Hands to your fists. Hands to your fists. That's all you gotta do. And then talk about somebody old with that old lady wig on. How dare she?

Who? Huh? Who? Go ahead, Jessica. Because I ain't never seen a lady with a wig on like that. Or like this one. Side note. Side note.

What's your side note? Shut up, Charlamagne. My white friend sent me a picture of Lauren and was like, her hair is so nice. I said, you know it's fake. He said no, it's not I said Before after the hour we need a brother named Chris Lewis 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. It's the breakfast slow.

Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the breakfast club. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Tee-haw, bitch. Tee-haw. It's time for donkey of the day.

I'm a big boy. I can take it. If you feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne guy gonna have some funny sweet s*** out of his mouth I say something you may not agree with doesn't mean I'm mean Who's getting that donkey? That donkey, that donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey Donkey of the day right here

Ahahaha The Breakfast Club bitches You can call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean no harm Ahem Yes, Donkey of the day for Tuesday April 1st April Fool's Day goes to an Augustan man named Chris Lewis. Okay, Chris is 24 years old and he was arrested for leaving his kids at a McDonald's while he attended a job interview. I repeat, he was arrested for leaving his

kids at a McDonald's while he attended a job interview. Hey, we listen, we don't judge. I'm lying. We judge it. Let's go to Fox 26 Houston for the report, please. A job interview ends badly for a man in Georgia. Chris Lewis was arrested March 22nd. Police say he left his kids in a McDonald's by themselves while he went to an interview for a job. He reportedly told police he did not have a car and lived nearby. Lewis said instead of making his three kids who are one, six and ten years old walk home alone, he decided to make them stay in the restaurant. What we know is he was there from 4, the kids were there from 430, he returned at 618 and then the mother was on the way as well but we don't know if she was called by police or him after the fact or if she was on the way as well but we leaving them alone in the family room while I'm upstairs. Nonetheless dropping them off at a McDonald's restaurant while I attend a job interview. Now I

know some of y'all are out here you know out there thinking well at least he was gonna do something productive like going on a job interview. Well if that's what you think you are missing the entire point. Okay the issue here is the fact that Chris left his 10, 6 and 1 year old unattended at a McDonald's. Okay a witness reported seeing him with his children around 4.30 p.m. The witness also observed him leave the restaurant, return later before leaving again.

And then when he came back at the restaurant around 6.18 p.m. that's when he was detained by officers. That's almost two hours that he left his kids unattended at a McDonald's. Anything could have happened in that two hours. Kidnapping, let's start there. Okay, medical emergency. What if one of the kids hurt themselves and needed immediate

attention? People in McDonald's not paying attention. That's not a damn daycare. They in there making fish fillets and making sure the quarter pounds is a pound ring. Why would they be paying attention to your kids? Now the news report said the child's mother arrived shortly after and took the children from the restaurant. Why couldn't they have been with the mother to begin with? Don't nobody got no grandparents, no aunts? Where your parents at Chris? I'm not judging, I'm just asking questions.

I'm trying to understand your thought process here, okay? I'm trying to understand why you thought this was okay. You didn't even try to slip one of the McDonald's employees a couple of dollars to say, hey bro, I gotta run to this job interview real quick. Can you just watch my kids for a second? That wouldn't have been the right thing to do either, but it would have been better

than just leaving them there unattended. Now, Chris, I don't want you to think I have zero empathy for you. I do, I understand. You know, it's a hustle. Times are hard, everything costs, daycare is no joke. You know, babysitter prices are no joke. You probably didn't even have the money

to offer anyone, you know, to watch to watch your kids okay trying to secure employment to provide your family provide for your family that's commendable round of applause for that you okay but what's our job as men our job as men is to protect and provide I put protect in front of provision for a reason because the safety of our kids the safety of our families comes before anything else. Okay, I can figure anything else out. I've been broke before. I can get to the money in some way.

I can deal with that. But your baby's being hurt because of your negligence? I can't live with that. Okay, there is no job you could possibly acquire on this planet that is worth more than the safety and wellbeing of your kids. Let's just say, Chris, you got the job. You all excited, you rushing back to McDonald's,

happy as hell, okay, you get there, kids gone. Somebody done snatched them up. Tell me if that job is worth it then. Or what if you would have got back and you pull up and it's ambulances everywhere, okay, because the one-year-old done suffocated in the pit of plastic balls. You tell me if that job interview you went on

was worth that, okay? There are resources and community programs designed to help parents in these situations. I did some research, and by research, all I mean is Google, okay? You could have called Family Promise of Augusta. They got a cost-free childcare center. Now, from what I read, they help homeless families,

but I'm sure they could have helped you too. I'm just saying, there had to be other options. Okay McDonald's menu has a hundred and forty five items that's a hundred and forty five different things to choose from. Why am I saying that? I'm saying that because if McDonald's has a hundred and forty five items if they have that many options then us as humans have to give ourselves more options too. I'm sure you could have found at least one more option other than dropping your kids off at McDonald's. That can't be the plan A and the only plan period.

Let's hope this serves as a lesson to all parents. Before you make poor choices like this seek out support systems and plan accordingly when you're faced with these kind of challenges because nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is worth jeopardizing the safety of your children. Please give Chris Lewis the biggest he-howl. Ah! Ah! Am I trippin'?

Nah. Okay. Nah. I'll tell you when you are, but nah, you're not. He deserves donkey, but he doesn't deserve to be arrested. Come on, Andy. What are you talkin' about? I'm gonna tell you why right? Cuz you said a lot of stuff that we don't necessarily know about maybe he had a babysitter in play and

Last minute the babysitter canceled and he's trying to do right. He's trying to get a job and maybe he thought you know what? Not to say that this was a smart decision. Yeah, but let me try it's not like he was going to the club It's not like he was at the mall shopping It's not like he was at a chick house or you smoking some weed or selling some dope he was trying to better his life now the decision he made was stupid but now he gets this he's now he's arrested for this that's this on his record now he can't get a good job because that's on his record it is definitely right yes it is f'd up and it is foul it's not a way of thinking but the law but as a community you know I mean, child negligence will definitely be a way. It is effed up and it is foul. It's not a way of thinking.

He broke the law. But as a community, you know what I mean? We should have certain graces when it comes to certain things. Like I said, if he was at a club, yes, lock him up. If he was at the mall shopping, if he was smoking weed, selling crack, if he was at a chick house, I agree.

But he was trying to better his life. If something would, I'll go ahead, Joe. No, I'm just saying, why not take them to the actual interview then? You said you didn't want them to walk. I'm sorry? He didn't have a car, so he wouldn't want them to walk. He would have to walk with the kids.

So let me ask you a question, maybe, if something would have happened to the kids, would you still feel that way? If the kids would have got kidnapped, if one of the kids would have suffocated in the playpen, would you still feel that way? It would have been a sad situation, but. Would you still say he shouldn't have been arrested?

I don't, no, I don't think he would have been arrested because he's not doing it on purpose He's really trying to better his life in the circumstances with life hit him Hey, man, I mean like you like think about it like this. Let's say he did have a Babysitter let's say he did in the babysitter cans last minute and he's trying to get a job It's not like you mean you leave your 10 year old I'm not saying it's not in your one-year-old unattended some not saying it's smart I'm not saying it's a right decision or a smart decision, but that man is trying to

better his life and we've all been to a place where issues f'ed up. Sure, but what that got to do with the safety of your children. You're right! I don't care how much you try to- But I don't want him to put him in jail. Listen, he broke the law. I don't know nothing about that. But my point is you can't say this man is trying to better his life.

You can't put you being unemployed over the safety of your children. Right! The safety of your children- I'm not saying it's a smart decision. I just don't you being unemployed over the safety of your children. The safety of your children. I'm not saying this is a smart decision. I just don't think you should have went to jail. Because they won't walk with me. He ain't want them to walk. All right, well, I'm gonna carry you until I get tired. Then your little brother gonna hold you. Then I'm gonna pick you back up something. They're gonna be with me at this job interview because that may entice the job, the people to give them the job even more. That's right. Or they might say, this guy's bringing his kids,

I don't want a man. No, listen, I just don't think you should jeopardize the safety of your children. I agree. In the pursuit of employment. I agree a thousand percent. And I can't say he shouldn't be arrested. Let's open up the phone lines, let's discuss.

800-585-1051, this young man, he's 24 years old, he had a job interview, he left his three children in McDonald's while he did the job interview the ages of his children a 1 6 & 10 He was arrested for it. Do you think he should have been arrested? Did he tell anybody in McDonald's look y'all, um, did he put them on point like do he know them like if he you know I'm saying is that McDonald's that he go to all the time. What's the last time you've been to McDonald's with a ball pit? I don't know cuz I wanted to? Is that the McDonald's that he go to all the time? When's the last time you've been to McDonald's with a ball pit? I don't know, cause all of them were pretty corporate.

They all look like urgent cares now. Like just like. And you know why they got rid of the ball pits? Cause they were dangerous. Yeah. Cause they were safety hazards to the kids. And that's where you leave your children. You played in it when you was a kid.

I played in it when I was a kid. I never played in no goddamn ball pits when I was a kid. And McDonald's? They ain't even had a ball pit in South Bronx corner. They ain't had one. I'm sure they did, but I don't remember playing in them. But they have child neglect laws for a reason. This was child negligence y'all.

800-585-1051. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's go to the Breakfast Club court. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, Charlamagne gave donkey of the day to a young man named Chris. He's 24 years old. He has three children, one six and ten. He was arrested for leaving his kids at a McDonald's while he attended a job interview. He left the kids at the McDonald's for almost two hours. A ten- old, a 6 year old and a 1 year old while he went to go to a job interview.

Yeah, I deserve, he deserves Dunkin today but I just don't want to see that brother go to jail. He was trying to better his life. Like I said, if he was at the club, if he was at a chicks house, if he was doing something illegal, I would understand it. But he was trying to better himself. He made a dumb decision. He's 24 years old He had this baby at 14. Oh my god. He had this baby at 14. I guarantee you that. You don't jeopardize your child's safety. I agree. In the pursuit of employment because there is no job on this planet That would make up for something happening to your child If he would have left his kids there for two hours and they were kidnapped or one of them

Suffocated in the ball of pitch, there's not a job in the world that he would have gotten that would have made up for that. You're right. So no, I do not- You deserve donkey, but not getting locked up for it. That's not us to us. There's child negligence laws for a reason, and this is child negligence. And guess what, Envy?

You say that, but if you had a babysitter, you, if you hired somebody to watch your kids and your kid is just, if that babys somebody to watch your kids, and your kid is just, if that babysitter just left your kid somewhere, unattended, for two hours, you'd be the first person wanting them locked up. No, I would be in jail. Exactly! So what are you talking about? I would be in jail.

Hey there, Ed Helms here, host of Snafu, your favorite podcast about history's greatest screw-ups. It's the 1920s, Prohibition is in full swing, and a lot of people are mysteriously dying? Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrand is becoming increasingly desperate in forcing prohibition. She was a lone warrior. I mean, how could Mabel not be feeling the pressure? Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent,

even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences for drinking hurt a lot more. Which she does, arguably a little too well. Find out more on Season 3, Episode 4 of Snafu Formula 6. Listen and subscribe on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fuelled nightmare.

Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet, and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this?

This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levertown, a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts, Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levertown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. My husband cheated on me with two women. He wants to stay together because he has cancer. Should I stay? Okay Sam, that has to be the craziest story in OK Storytime podcast history. Well John, that's because it's dumping week and this user writes,

my partner told me when we first got together that he has cancer. He's currently living with his mom while he is in recovery, so that it takes the pressure off me caring for both him and her baby until he's well enough to move into our new home with us. Is he good so far?

Well, last week we had attempted break-in. I asked my husband who was supposed to be at his mom's to come over and change locks, but he wouldn't. Then his mom told me he wasn't with her. I went to Facebook and it took me less than an hour to find the first two women he was cheating on me with. Oh, what else is he lying about? Well, one thing my paranoia just wouldn't let up was about the cancer and his treatments.

I asked his mom about it, who told me he doesn't have cancer. She also informed me he was in rehab, not the hospital. He suffered from addiction and was trying to recover for me and our baby. Did she leave him? Well, to find out how the story ends, listen and follow the OK Storytime podcast on the iHeart radio app Apple podcast Or wherever you get your podcast that you're right and we need to take sharp pain I need for him to step down off that cloud and on and remember where you came from

We like you said there needs to be community already in a place so that the young man Don't even have to have a thought process like that. I just feel like that. I think your donkey the other day is so good, Charlamagne, but I think today when you read that, I don't know, I guess you're feeling yourself cause you got your foot crossing, but you had no heart or sympathy for dude. Like this man trying to work. You see how many kids he got. Do you see the economy today? Oh yeah, you do.

Cause you're always talking about it. Can I ask you a question? Cause I did say during donkey, I have empathy for him, but I want to ask you a question. You tell me a job in this world that is worth jeopardizing your child's safety. Because if something would have happened to those kids in those two hours,

let's say one of the kids would have suffocated in the ball pit. Well, let's say they would have got kidnapped. What job could he have possibly gotten that would have been worth that? There is no job that you could possibly have gotten. Let me ask you another question. However, though. Can I ask you another question? Let me ask you a question. I didn't answer your question, fool. he had possibly gotten that would have been worth that. There is no job that could possibly have gotten that worth it. However, though, let me ask you another question.

I didn't answer your question, fool. I didn't answer your question, fool. Calm down. Right there. So listen, to answer your question, though, it's not about the job that he's going, that's jumping out of his head. That man thought, he's trying to put food on his table.

He's trying to work. He's trying to provide best that he knows how. You just broke down the fact that this man has a six-year-old and he's 21. 24. You do know that your brain doesn't stop developing until you're 25. Absolutely, but you still don't jeopardize your child's safety

in the pursuit of employment. And not nobody calling up here who got kids would leave their kids somewhere unattended for two hours a 10 year old a six year old and a one year old. I didn't know one person. Not one person? If I knew somebody that worked at the McDonald's yo watch them keep an eye on them from you or something. I wonder how the mom feel because the mom came to get the kids late I wonder how she feel about this situation. Hello who's this? Hi, this is Martell, fellow from Charleston. All right, Martell, what's your thoughts? I feel like, yeah, he should have been arrested,

but they also need to be lenient on him. And that's coming from a mother who raised two kids alone, and I've had that situation. I used to take my kids to work with me when I worked third shift at a hotel. Sometimes you really don't have the means to find somebody to babysit. I have a lot of family in Charleston, but there were times where people just didn't

want to do it because I didn't have the money to pay or somebody worked a different shift and things happen. Like they need to give him some resources. I mean, he's 24 years old with three heads of kids. That's like a lot for somebody at that age. Can I ask you a question? You said you took your kids to work with you. Would you ever think of just leaving them

someplace unattended while you was at work? No. That's my point. That's why she said he should be arrested. They should just be lenient. I agree with that. Yeah, I agree too. Thank you, mama.

That's a good person. Hello, who's this? This Tisha. Hey, Tisha, good morning. Good morning. What's your thoughts, Tisha? So, where's the Shaleming? I bet you need to relax. Tisha, take us off Bluetooth for speaker. You your thoughts, Tisha? So, first of all, Shailamane, I think you need to relax.

Tisha, take us off Bluetooth speaker. Come on now, Shailamane. The man trying. Y'all are missing. And you know what's so funny? I started Donkey, I started Donkey today off by saying, if that is your mindset, you missing the bigger point. You got kids, ma'am?

I definitely do. I have three kids, and one of them is that same little boy age. I'm 23. So you're 23. Would you, have you had a 10 year old, a 6 year old, or a 1 year old? No, no, no, no, no, no. My son is 23. Okay, sure. But I'm saying if you had a, when your son was 10,

would you leave your 10 year old, your 6 year old, and your 1 year old unattended at a restaurant for 2 hours? No, I'm definitely not doing that. But I have left my 10 year old and my 6 year old at home with each other because they were mature enough to stay there by their side. I'm just saying that everybody's situation is different. He was their own, it was very irresponsible, but Don Quijote today, that's a big lunch. No, I think he deserved donkey. I just don't think he deserves to go to jail.

He deserves donkey, but going to jail jail I just think is I mean the man was doing his best like he made a stupid decision in a dumb decision thank God nothing happened to his kids but he wasn't doing anything stupid and crooked he wasn't like he was going to the club he wasn't going to the mall he wasn't shopping he wasn't checking the chick he was trying to better his life stupid decision but I don't think he should go to jail for it. It would have been better if he did leave him in the house it's hard to get kidnapped in the house you know what I mean like it would have been I. It would have been better if he did leave him in the house. It's hard to get kidnapped in the house. Word.

You know what I mean? I think it would have been better if he did leave them in the house. They're familiar with everything. You can still get hurt in the house. Word. But that one-year-old, that's the tricky one. The 10-year-old and 6-year-old, you can say, oh, but that one-year-old. The one-year-old, what?

You know, one-year-old. What about the one-year-old? A one-year-old, like leaving that one-year-old is the biggest thing. It's the most difficult Bro, you got kids at six and ten. What are you talking about? 2025 you just gonna leave your three kids unattended somewhere I don't want the man to be arrested you don't jeopardize your child's safety in the pursuit of employment Because once again there

is no job on this planet that would make up for something happening to your children. What is wrong with us this morning? I agree but that employment has to probably pay for food, that employment is probably paying for rent, that employment is probably paying for food, that employment is probably paying for daycare. That employment ain't going to bring your kids back if something bad happens to them. But thank God nothing did happen. And I'm not saying it's right. I just don't want them to go to jail. I hope your baby's going gonna bring your kids back if something bad happens But thank God nothing did happen. I'm not saying it's right

I hope your babysitter leaves your kids somewhere. Let's see what happens when they do that Oh my God Look at him, he mad already. He mad just thinking about it He mad just even thinking about it. What are we doing here? Jess you got a little money on the side to bail me out What are we talking about? And once again you know who I would love to talk to in this situation? Those kids' mothers.

Because the mother came to pick them up at 618. The mother probably was thinking, what the hell are you doing leaving my kids for two hours? I'm sure. 800-585-1051. What's your thoughts? Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Donkey today. Charlamagne gave Donkey today to a young man named Chris. He had a job interview. He has a one year old, a six year old, and a 10 year old.

And he decided to leave him at McDonald's while he did the job interview. He left him there from about 4.30 to 6.15. And he was resting. No, 4.30 to 6.18, almost two hours. 6.18. And then the mother came to pick him up. So my thing is, where was the mother from the beginning? Charlamagne gave him donkey today. I agree

with the donkey. I just don't think he should be arrested for it. The mother was probably her job in the beginning. Right. Hello who's this? Hey it's BZ from Alvin. BZ what's up talk to us what's your thoughts? Man I feel I guess empathy for the guy. You know I feel bad for him that he ended up going to jail but I didn't know that parental paranoia was a thing until we had our first kid. And I just couldn't see myself leaving my kids anywhere while I was over somewhere for almost two hours. That's all I'm saying.

I wrote about that in my second book. Got a whole chapter called parental paranoia, the anxiety that you have just being a parent. I couldn't do that. Yeah. I couldn't do that. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Shaquima.

Hello? Hey, Shaquima. What's your thought she Kima? How are you? So so just real quick child of a you were a little hard on him because I have a sister in a similar situation We brought them for to care so my sister she has six kids literally six kids. She's out there Everybody's quick to tell you to call these resources, but have you ever tried to call some of these resources? Nobody answers the phone, nobody gets back to you.

Like there's so many, it's easy to say call these resources. I've called the resources for my sister. She has six kids, she's out there in New York. She has vouchers for daycare. There's no daycare seats available. So there's just so many different, like there's so many factors that could have played into it. And it is unfortunate that this young man got arrested,

but Charlamagne, you're saying, oh, he could have had a baby, he could have had whatever. He could have also left his kids at home and something could have happened to them at home. It's just so many scenarios, but it's just unfortunate that this man has gotten arrested trying to better his life for his kids. And I live in Georgia and trust me when I tell you the resources are not resources here for these families.

You know what else Georgia has? What? High sex trafficking. You go to the airport in Georgia, human trafficking is big in Georgia. You know that? Show me, you act like kids aren't getting scratched out from their own homes though. That's right. So why, why make it, why make it, why make it easier? Why make it easier for them? You even said he went back to check on the children. You just don't know the full story to give this young man donkey the other day. I do think that you kind of forget where you're coming from a little bit too. Those resources are not available. Can I say something to y'all?

I know that, but y'all keep saying, I forgot where I come from. My mama would never leave me unattended anywhere at 10 years old Like times were different Times were different Yeah people are worse This young man maybe attempts to try to better himself. He went back to check up on his children It's just unfortunate that everything played out the way they play it out and the mom was able to get the children. We don't know, maybe the mom was at work and they had an agreement to meet up at the McDonald's

to get the kids at a certain time. We just don't know. But those resources are not available, especially in our community. They are not available like you think they are. It may be a number, but trust me when I tell you, you cannot reach anybody on the phone. Trust me when I tell you, you cannot reach anybody on the phone. I'm realizing...

Trust me when I tell you, I see it with my sister. Thank you. I'm realizing that people care more about money than they do their kids. Nah, it's not even that. Let me finish. Let me finish. Our job as men is to protect and provide. Facts.

Protect comes before provision for a reason. You don't jeopardize your child's safety in the pursuit of employment. Because I'm going to say this for the last time. There is no job on this planet that he could have gotten that would make up for something happening to his child in that McDonald's. And I agree with you wholeheartedly. And I agree with you, he deserves donkey today. I just don't like to see the brother getting arrested. I didn't arrest him. I didn't say you did. I just don't like to see the brother getting arrested and put on

his record when he was trying to do better. He's 24 years old. He's a young dad. Obviously, he's struggling out there and he needed that opportunity. We don't know what happened if the babysitter canceled last minute, but he was trying to do what's right. You know, we see so many of stories where people leave their kids in the car, to smoke crack, to go to the club and do some negative stuff. He was trying to better himself. He made a stupid decision. Thank God nothing happened to his kids. I just would hate to see that on his record where he can't get a better job for that.

As I said, as I said, smack him on his hand, you give him the resource, you explain to him what it was. And then as a community, we uplift him. As I said, during donkey today, if that's your mindset, you miss him the bigger picture. The bigger picture is you don't jeopardize your child's safety and the pursuit of employment because anything could have happened to those kids. My mind don't even work like that. I'm not leaving no children unattended while I go run off to do something real quick, especially

at a McDonald's, a fast food restaurant. That tells you how bad it probably was that he has to pay rent, he has to pay for that food and they're probably struggling, he probably needs this job and this money. It was either, look, I got to put my kids in daycare, I got to pay rent he has to pay for that food and they're probably struggling probably needs this job and his money And it was either look I got to put my kids in daycare I got to pay these bills and we all talk about you already said if somebody left your kids unattended You'd be the first person calling the police. No, I wouldn't call the police I would be have to go to jail my kids Yeah, I don't like calling the boy. Why what cuz only my kids but also I don't know what if the over there. Why what? Because you don't leave my kids. But also, But I don't know, what if the person has the person's circumstances? But also, I have the same heart that,

Hey, yo! What about the babies in the circus? But I gave them a job. They have a job. That person obviously doesn't have a job. You're not paying them enough. They still gotta go do, they still gotta go make money elsewhere. I'm here.

So they gotta leave your kids just real quick. Or a couple hours to go get some money. But I'm also the type of person, if I'm in McDonald's and the brother told me and see me and say, yo bro, can you watch my kids for a little bit while I do? I would say he wants the kids. Mm-hmm. I would do that. Something like that. That's what I'm in McDonald's and the brother told me and see me and say yo bro can you watch my kids for a little bit while I do I would say he wants the kids I would do that something like that you would have no questions if he said he had a job interview and I believed him I would sit there watching you wouldn't ask no questions you

would be if they say I got a job and then when the police roll up and be like hey this Dominican just kidnapped these three kids what you mean somebody just left you just gonna leave it what's up what's up with us as a people? I just doing that nice for y'all now. And then yo, I wonder if the person would call the police, did they at least like get the kids something to eat first or they just straight call the police? If you're sitting there.

That was in McDonald's. Yeah, I know, it's like, yo, hungry would be my first, you know, like I just wanna get them something to eat and then call the police. All right. Salute to that person too. But by the way, that's another scenario that we didn't think about, right?

Yeah. If you're that father, you know that you've taken a criminal chance leaving these kids. So now that the police done been called, is that worth it? Because to your point, I mean, now what's on your record, it's making it harder for you to get a job. Right. All right. Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up next. It's the Breakfast Club Good Morning.

Lauren be coming with straight face. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. All right. All right. Well, we got the latest still in the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

One of the wives dodged the bullet and just said she did not have any kids. His second wife. Yes, that's Talila. What you mean. Is that dodging the bullet? That's Taliwile. She could have came up. No, I don't know what he would even do now for them.

Go ahead, maybe. Because you're about to get there. And I also don't know what the pre-nup situation was or wasn't. So she could still be good even though she don't have a kid. She was married to him and they remarried at one point. That's right. What's up? Does this know what she's doing?

I'm sure. Okay. But yeah, so there is a newer baby mama, her name is Ashley St. Clair. And last month, she filed two petitions against Elon Musk because she wanted to get a court order paternity test because she wants sole custody of her baby. The baby is around like six to seven months old. And she's claiming that, you know, the baby that she's sharing with Elon. He is now starting to financially retaliate against her And this is so this has been out there for about a month But yesterday Monday Elon Musk responded on X and he said I don't know if the child is mine or not

But I am not against finding out no court order is needed despite not knowing for sure I have given Ashley two point5 million and I'm sending her $500,000 a year. Now Ashley responded to this and said, Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child who you named was even born but you refused and you weren't sending me money you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for being disobedient. But you really are only punishing your son. It's ironic that your last effort in court was to try and gag me, gag order, while you

use social media to channel, um, while you use social media to channel. You literally, you literally own, I don't know. Oh, she's saying that he's basically using social media to throw derogatory statements out there but he wants her to be quiet I noticed that when just look at you real hard you can't read what you got you acting real crazy okay focus real crazy this is very important political news right here she says America needs you to grow up and she called him a child, a man child. So this is news because people are like whoa, $500,000 a year and in total $2.5 million and the baby is maybe about seven or eight months. And he don't know if it's his for sure. That's why I said

this is so ghetto. What's wrong with the half a million dollars a year though? I don't think it's anything wrong with it. Ain't nothing wrong with it. No, nothing wrong with it. I think people are just like, whoa, that's a lot of money. For him to not know if the baby is his or not, is what he's saying. He's the world's richest man.

I feel no sympathy for him. Drop it a bottle. This is not for sympathy. I just think that it's kind of interesting how he has all these baby mamas. It's a ton of drama, cause him and Grimes, when his other kid's mom used to be in the news a lot, too

Yes, and people don't touch this and she was just living Won't touch what they don't touch with ain't nobody gonna ever come for him for nothing I think bring this up all the time. But what are they supposed to say? Wanted to be like Nick Cannon jokes. They know not even jokes They try didn't Grimes say she when she said uh, hey do nothing for x-a-e-a-12 When she said, uh, Hayne do nothing for XAEA-12. Hayne did nothing for him. Who's that? The little son.

That's his name? Yup, it's XAEA-12. Envy, look at your chart. Yeah, being the richest man in the world and potentially being a deadbeat is disgusting. Yeah. But having a bunch of kids is not a crime. It's not a crime.

I think it's pretty interesting that these things happen and then it's just like, oh, okay, well, we're moving on next week. Yeah. Well, you guys keep this chart near and dear because I'm sure there will be more because Ashley St. Claire ain't ain't letting up on him. Okay. At all. She was actually out recently to she was she recorded a video selling her Tesla. She said she was trying to make up for the money that Eli's not giving her anymore allegedly. Because she's you know, and then there was one it was either Grimes or Ashley St. Clair who said it was health issues

going on with the baby and he would not pay for them or something like that. I think that was about a little A-12. He did. That's the name of the baby? Yes! Look at you throw your chart away! Yes!

I told you to keep your chart. A-E-A-12. A-E-A-12. Yes, so like he was born at Jiffy Lube. These might not be kids, these might be robots. They are not robots. They might be humanoid robots. I think little 8-12, that's the one he had on his head when he was at the White House

and he was sitting next to Trump. 8-12? Yes, that was 8-12. That's the one next to the baby. Got you. Okay. All right. Well, right now, this morning, actually in about an hour,

there will be a protest for Wendy Williams. This protest is supposed to be taking place just so that, you know, people know more, I guess, of not even let them know more, but keep bringing awareness to, you know, the conservatorship and her wanting to get out of the conservatorship and things of that nature. But I am told that Wendy did not herself organize this protest. She does appreciate it though. She appreciates it, but she did not organize this protest. Who organized it? There is, I think it's just like someone who's been following the free Wendy movement,

like one of the, you know, super fans who wanted to get people together because they were doing stuff like this when it came to the free Britney situation. So. Got it. Are you going? You definitely gotta be there for your own mother. Yo, thank you. I was going to get some audio. You should go. There's one in LA and one in LA.

Don't play with Wendy. They got her on both coasts. Okay. Where's the one in New York? Is it outside the jail? It is supposed to be outside of the luxury prison. However, I am told that the luxury prison will probably not go forward. So they're probably moving.

Yeah. Street. Hey, I'm going to change my shoes. Yeah, I really am. Because when you're going to come to the window, I was going to say yes. You're going to be at that window. I know I am not missing that for us. Yeah, I definitely planned on going.

pay it back to the people's shoulders who you stand on. Absolutely. Cause she discovered Nas if I'm not mistaken, right? Yeah, she was the one that, well not discovered him, but Nas was rapping in, they're both from Queensbridge, and she was the one that, well, not discovered him, but Nas was rapping in, they both from Queensbridge, and she was the one that said, you gotta skill and don't eff it up in the streets. Yeah, because if I remember correctly,

that's how her movie ended. Yep, but her telling Nas, don't eff this up, you got talent, you got skills, yep, absolutely. And I asked her, I said, well, how come you didn't sign Nas, she was like, because Nas is a friend, and I just wanted him to succeed, so I just never wanted to. And she said she felt like she didn't know enough

about the business. Yeah, I didn't want to mess it up for him. That's right. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody is DJ and the just hilarious Charlamagne. We are the Breakfast Club.
