How old is it? Soldier 40 yet? 36. Wow. Drop on a clue box for Soldier Boy, that doesn't seem right, but I'll rock with it. Why does that not seem right? The only thing worse than getting old is not getting old,

sir. Everybody got a birthday. No, but I could have, I thought Soldier Boy came on the breakfast club. One of the first interviews we did that first year. I thought Soldier Boy was like, maybe not. I don't remember. No, that was when I was at the other station. You just making it.

Yeah, no, I was at the other station. Well, let's get the show cracking. Soldier Boy, is his birthday. Happy Birthday News is next. Get it off your chest, 8005-8-150-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

Just hilarious. Charlemagne de Guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get some front-page news. What's up, Mimi. Good morning, Envy. Shalameen, how y'all doing this morning? Peace, Mimi Brown. Good morning. All right. So we start this morning with President Trump, doubling down on his fight over mail-in ballots. So he's asking the Supreme Court to let his administration move forward with a major change

before the mid-term election. Here's Trump last night at a Michigan rally. Let's listen. No mail-in ballots. Mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt except for illness, disability, military deployment, or travel. If you're in the military, you're far away, absolutely. But mail-in ballots have proven to be a disaster. We're the only country in the world that in this form does them. There's no other country in the world because they're crooked. They pass through too many hands. So the Justice Department filed an emergency appeal yesterday asking the Supreme Court to revive part of Trump's executive order that were blocked by a federal judge last month. So that order would require states to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government.

And then federal agencies would then create a nationwide list of eligible voters and then share that list with the Postal Service. Now, under that plan, the Postal Service would only deliver mail-in ballots to voters who, information match the federal list. But 23 states and Washington, D.C., they are challenging that order, and they argue elections are run by the state and that the president does not have the authority to take control over their voter rolls. So so far, two lower courts have sided with the states, but now the Trump administration is asking, again, the Supreme Court, to step in on an emergency basis, hoping the decision to have a decision by early August, so there's enough time to put these changes in place

before the November midterm elections. Do you guys stay with me? Why has America always, why does it feel like we're being so nonchalant about what's going to happen during the midterms? Like you can literally make a list of all the things that Trump administration is attempting to do to undermine the midterm elections and it feels like we just moonwalking right into it. Like it's nothing.

Yeah. Yeah. We're not taking this seriously. So this order was already struck down by the lower courts And so now he's literally going back to Supreme Court asking them in an emergency form to change it to his favor so that he can get the state's voter rolls and only mail ballots to people that are on a federal list that he will go through or his administration will go through and that they will approve. You know what I mean? Everybody should be up in arms about this. But we're not. And all the signs are right there. I mean, you're going to wait until the day of, you know, be fake outraged on social media for 48 hours and then still going about your life even after they steal the elections?

Yeah, yeah. And deportations of Haitian migrants are expected to ramp up this week after more than 300,000 people lost temporary protected status as of yesterday. So the Trump administration says conditions in Haiti, they've improved enough for many Haitians to return back home. And so those who voluntarily leave are being offered $2,600 and a free flight. But for those who stay, immigration enforcement is expected to increase. So according to an internal ICE planning document, Haiti has been told to prepare for two deportation flights a week as the administration plans to ramp up those deportations again starting this week. Immigration advocates are urging anyone affected to speak with an immigration attorney immediately

and understand what legal options may still be available. Let's listen. There are other pathways to be able to stay lawfully in the United States. TPS is just but one of them. It is temporary protective status. It is not a pathway to citizenship. And so we encourage Haitians and others to seek out pathways to citizenship as well as the temporary protective status. You can only know what your options are when you sit down with an attorney who can look at your specific situation because it does vary by the time you came into the country, what your specific family situation is.

where you are working. There are so many variables that give people different options. Yeah. So yesterday they were reporting that they expected to start in Ohio. They also mentioned that Florida has the biggest Haitian population and that New York has the second largest Haitian population. The administration has also ended TPS for thousands of Syrians, leaving them at risk for deportations as well. Salute all my Haitian brothers. Yes, I'm out there, man. Lord have mercy. And the thing I know some people,

I know some Haitians who actually support the Trump administration in real ways. I mean, to the point where they would reach out the, you know, other media folks and try to recruit them for the talk to, you know, the Trump administration and be part of the Trump administration and help amplify Trump administration messaging. I wonder how that individual feels this morning. I'm sorry, I'm talking All right y'all, well, coming up at seven

You're not knowing who the person is, that's crazy I know, it's just, I know. Yeah. Well, coming up at seven, a Secret Service agent is accused of leading a fraternity hazing ritual that nearly turned deadly. We're going to talk about that in the next hour. I really do wonder how that person feels.

Like, that person has, you know, connected artists with the Trump administration, reached out to other media personality to try to amplify, you know, Trump administration messaging. I wonder how that person feels. Maybe that person doesn't care. Maybe that person just says,

stop saying he or she, maybe that person just cares about themselves. We know who he or she is, yeah. What we're doing in this room, but yes. Let me stop. Let me stop before I say the name. I don't want to say that. All right.

All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-105.1 if you need to be. Got to give them time to repent. All right. Hit it up. Hit us up now. It's the breakfast club.

I tell you, every year we take a family vacation so my family was trying to choose when he wanted to go next year. I thought it that we need to go to Anguilla. Don't come to our island. We don't need you in Anguilla.

Wow. Okay. Wow. I'll kind of help the island out by bringing people there before you're calling. Our island don't need no help. Anguilla is doing fine. Anguilla got their AI domain there. It is so much money coming through the beautiful island of Anguilla, okay? You don't want your money, Tra.

and Moonlight was banned in that region. Really? Yeah, they did. And then I went down. I went down a whole rabbit hole. I started thinking about all the gay movies I know. So I went first next movie was Brokeback Mountain. Bam!

And then Netflix has a whole gay rom-com section, sort of. And you couldn't watch none of them movies over there, all right? I remember hearing you say that. That made me go on a little wormhole of seeing why I was banned. And I say, well, dang. Well, if you do go to Angola and Joy, man. I'll give you some recommendations if you go. Okay.

Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Chrysall, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words,

but a song, a melody. I thought he was going to write. I thought you're all going to write a song. I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia. Ayo rewatch on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea.

Every week, the news gets worse. The world gets crazier. And Yamanika is here to tell whoever's responsible, you're the problem. If you come over here to play games, I'm a check you. Okay? If you do some in the news

that don't sound good, I'm gonna play you. Join Yamanika Saunders as she breaks down the week's most problematic stories on her new podcast. You're the problem with Yamanika. Do you know I just found out who Sidney Sweeney was? New episodes weekly every Wednesday as part of my new network,

the Dear Chelsea Network. If he got a bunch of women, then I should have a bunch of men. Do better or do less, so I don't have to do so much. So join Yomeneke each episode as she answers one question. Who's the problem?

I'm Yamanika, and I'm out. Listen to you're the problem with Yamanika on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio, the black radio. That sources trust.

Did you hear that exclusive? Lauren. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. She'd be having the latest. You ask the question that need to be answered. On the breakfast club. If little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. L.L. Kulbe, talk to me.

All righty guys. So let's go down to Atlanta. So earn your leisure. You guys know Earn Your Leisure, Rashad and Troy. They do a big festival every year called it Fest Fest. They were here on the Breakfast Club talking about support that they did not receive from Atlanta. Let's take a listen to them here on the Breakfast Club. Do you just keep it in Atlanta? Kind of like how Essus just keeps it in New Orleans. Is it just one thing that it always stays there?

Or do you say, you know what, we take it to another city? It's home has been Atlanta. for obviously for the six years. We've floated with the idea just because, you know, the lack of support that we've gotten from the city of Atlanta has been something that has been puzzling, but we come from grassroots so we know how to build things from the ground up. So what is Atlanta not doing to make sure they're comfortable?

Atlanta's done nothing for us, and, you know, it's an unfortunate situation, but it's one of these things. I think a lot of times when you're a black entrepreneur, a lot of things are just expected, like, oh, you got it, like you good, or if somebody else would come, like a Forbes or somebody like that, and they roll out the red carbon

do everything. But all right, this is good education because it's like when you work with a city, there's a budget and there's different things that they can do.

Subsities. They can help put up billboards. They can help be a liaison with the center. They can help with the police force. They can help with the budget. They can help with transportation. They can help with rooms at hotels.

They can help with so many different things. Yeah, so that conversation went down and we know we talked about this a bit that it sparked a conversation, right? There were people who felt felt like earn your leisure shouldn't have came come on the breakfast club to have that conversation there are people who felt like it's their right to do so if that's what they're experiencing and they also envy you asked them a question yes yeah they didn't come up here to talk about that

it's not like they came up here bashing the ATL and bashing the city of Atlanta and bashing the you know political infrastructure there they they got to ask the question and they answered the question honestly yeah so yesterday there was an event that went down um mayor Andrew Young, the mayor of Atlanta, was presented the Courageous Leadership Award at the TS Foundation, which is a foundation benefit dinner that sends students to college. Now, as a part of, you know,

him being on stage and speaking to the people while there, here's what Mayor Andrew Young had to say. Earlier this week, somebody said something on a radio in New York. Stop that for a minute. It's not Andrew, Mayor Andrew Young. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What are you talking about? I'm sorry. Andre Dickon. Yes, I'm sorry.

He was presented by Andrew Young and Jamal H. Bryant, the Courageous Leadership Award. Yes. Sorry. Now we can take this. This week, somebody said something on a radio in New York about Atlanta. Somebody was talking about support. Talking about this and that. You know, people talk a lot. And a lot of folks

are saying, you know, Atlanta had to snap out and anybody to say anything about Atlanta. That's right. And so here we are standing in the Mariah County as lived by a black woman. big, the second largest convention center in the state of Georgia is the building that we're standing in. This city is substantial. This city is important.

This city is consequential and it takes courage. So because of the work that John had done, the cause of the Stewart Foundation, the city of Atlanta is going to invests $50,000. Well, I'm going to be honest. This is my ego talking. I don't like him saying they was on a radio show in New York. Now, we syndicated in 130 radio stations. This is the breakfast club. nationally syndicated morning

show. How many markets? 130 plus markets and went on it every morning in Atlanta. Sluke to Atlanta. And on Netflix, you know, every morning globally. Okay. Yes, salute to 96.1 to beat in Atlanta. Come on now. Yeah, well, I reached out. That's just by ego. I'm not mad at you.

I said that too. I wasn't mad at you for feeling like that. Well, once I saw that video, I was a little taken aback because the last I spoke to Earn Your Leisure, which we brought back here into the show and also discussed. They were in conversations with the city and with the mayor's office because there were people from the mayor's office in the comments

of our social media when we posted that clip who we're saying hey if y'all want to talk come have a conversation y'all went on one of the biggest platforms for us to talk so let's finish the conversation and earn your leisure I talked to the guys and they said that it's unfortunate he took this approach

after we spoke to his team about creating solutions together going forward but all good I think that's whack I think what the mayor of Atlanta did was whack and this is the reason I think is whack right salute to mayor and Andre Dickens the reason it's whack is these brothers put on something

that's great for the community, right? And they get tens and thousands of people, 20,000 of people and they continue to do it. And all they asked for was just a little help like a lot of these other corporations get, right? If no other corporations got help, if no other corporations got assistance

when their events, then I understand. But if they're just asking, let's do this together. Let's make this bigger together because their event does nothing but help our people. And they don't, and they're just issuing their face, oh, you just talk about it.

No, that's not what they were trying to do. They were just trying to say, just like they help all these other organizations when they come in town, please help us as well. It felt kind of low brow of Mayor Andre Dink to do that because I didn't think Earnie Liegey was disrespectful in what they said. It felt performative when I saw what the mayor did yesterday.

And I wish that they would all just have a conversation. I think that would be something good to have it in Best Best, right? Like maybe they should have that conversation on a platform, yeah. Absolutely. I think people could learn from, you know, both sides of it. It's a financial literacy conversation? 100%.

of what the city can and can't do, how you go about it, what we need, how we know, how we get to our number. I think that would be amazing. Why the city chooses not to? Why they choose to do things? Like, I think that would be a great conversation

to have an investor. But there are budgets when it comes to things like that. Even like when I did my car show in Virginia, the city wants to help because if there is a positive event and they can get more students there, if they can give away scholarships, if they can be a part of anything positive, any city in the country wants to be a part of it

because at the end of the day, it's about helping the youth. If they got the funds to do it, do it. And the other thing, I think people are missing in this conversation. Earn your leisure and the city of Atlanta have had a lot of conversations prior to this. And those conversations, I guess, haven't gone anywhere. Yeah, I saw their publicists in our comments as well on our social media. When people were saying, well, did you do this?

Did you submit that? Did you talk to this person? She was responding yes to everything. But I don't know. I just hope that this didn't sever it to a point where, like, nothing will move forward because I do think invest fest and what they do is important. And I also think that the city of Atlanta is important to us as black people as well, too. So, yeah.

And best best is about the people. Yes. You know what I mean? And I know if there's one thing I know, I know, I know Mayor Andre Dinkins, you know, wants to serve the people to the best of visibility. What did I say? Dinkins. It's all right. I'm not saying.

Mayne Enochie Dikkins wants to serve the people to the best of his ability. And of course, the good brothers, Rashad and Trevor on your leisure, you want to serve the people to the best of their ability. So let's find a way that everybody can serve the people to the best of their ability together. I agree. I agree. Well, that was the, uh, the latest. for this hour and in the next hour when we come back, we're going to talk about Chris

Brown. Speaking of money, that woman that was attacked by the dog on his property, she's saying that $13 million need to come from the Usher and Chris Brown to her. Parts of it. We're going to talk about it. Have that dog been put down yet? You cost me $13 million. You've got to go to sleep. It depends. If it was the dog

first violation... The dog people are going to be upset at you. I don't care. No, you're right. No, no, they probably put him down. Why? If a dog does a vicious bite like that, nine times out of ten, they put the dog down. What if the dog wasn't? Like, what if the dog felt provoked? Like, it wasn't the dog's fault. And it depends if this was the dog's first time or not. Because if it's this the dog's the dog's, they're definitely going to put that dog down. We'll talk about it.

We'll talk about it when we get back. Poor doggie. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Got the craziest thing about LeBron playing for Philly, right? People are more concerned where he's going to live in Philly. Like, why is that so much news? Is he going to live in Philly? Is he going to live in New Jersey? Is he's going to live in New York? Like, why is that such big news? I didn't know it was Yes, it's been all over the place I've seen it a couple of places People have been trying to figure out where he's going to live

Why do they care? No, you just want to play ball? I think more people who are having conversations about Is that team going to work? You know, is the chemistry of that team going to work? I saw somebody after they bring up a good point I had similar thoughts like What?

Nix and five What's up, Mee? Philly going to be five Two K, wow I'm telling you that right now Yeah, yeah What's up Mimmy? Good morning, NVA Shalamein

So we start this hour With a very disturbing story And I want to say that it may be hard For some to hear So this story is very disturbing with allegations involving a U.S. Secret Service agent and one of the country's most well-known black fraternities. So 29-year-old Marquez Christopher Pinder is a U.S. Secret Service agent,

and he is among three men charged after investigators, say two men trying to join Kappa Alpha Psi were beaten over the course of four days at multiple locations in South Florida. So prosecutors say the men were repeatedly struck with canes and paddles because they couldn't correctly answer questions about the fraternity. Now, according to investigators, Pender was serving as the dean of pledges. That's the person overseeing the pledge process. Authorities say one prospective member, now a university of Miami graduate suffered injuries so severe.

He went into kidney failure. Investigators say he was so badly injured that he needed skin grafts and he almost lost his life. Now, a second prospective member was also treated for injuries. They say were consistent with that first type of beating that we just talked about with that other young man. Pinder, along with two other men, they are charged with attempted manslaughter, aggravated battery, with a deadly weapon, and hazing with a deadly weapon. He was released on bond yesterday with a warning from the judge. Let's listen. Stay away from the alleged victims, whose initials are SR and CG.

No contact with these victims, alleged victims either directly, indirectly, in person in writing. by telephone or through third parties, stay at least 500 feet away from their homeschool and place of employment at all times. Do you understand the stay away order, sir? Yes, no. Okay, thank you. Y'all be wanting to be in fraternities that bad? Like, also, when you're getting haze, you don't think to yourself, the people doing this to me are sick. Do I really want to be a part of this? Well, a lot of them have been through that, so they want to put the people that's coming up under under him through it. So the projection? You went through some pain and some hurt, so now you're

doing it to me? But it should never be to the point of, uh, uh, you lose your life, right? Now, maybe, like, somebody for myself that may or may not have been online at one time and may have got kicked off because of my grades. No, it wasn't your grades. You just dated didn't want you. No, it was really kicked off because of my grades, maybe, or maybe not. Like, they...

You wasn't pretty enough to be a capo and too gay to be a cute. They put you through the process where you have to learn the founding fathers' names, and they put you through a certain process, but not to the point where they beat you and where you die, like, you know, I remember... I'm not telling you. I remember one time, it was... It was like the smallest car you could think of, whatever that is at the time. And they made us get like 250 turkeys to put in this car, right?

It wouldn't fit. So we had, there was turkeys on the roof. We had turkeys out of our hands and all that stuff because they were doing a free turkey drive. So it was things like that that they made you do. And yes, they put you in line and they, you know, whatever. But they didn't beat you till you die. I don't feel sorry for you, though, because I don't know if y'all know, envy tried to be a Delta.

And it was the wildest thing when he told me to throw it. I was like, it was dealt to the sorority. And he started talking about how he was throwing up the dynasty signs. So he just thought that's where he should be. It was weird. So I understand. I understand him got on him. I did not.

It was more a K.A. sir. I was more of an A.k.a. But. You just made that up. Yes, he just made that up. I did not. Yes, he tried to be the first man in a sorority. Oh, shit.

Shut up. Okay, continue on me. But, okay, wait, you guys, because it's very important to say this. So the Secret Service says Pender has been placed on administrative leave, and the agency is fully cooperating with the investigation. And Kappa Alpha-Sai, they have also released a statement saying that it is a non-hazing fraternity, and it does not condone or tolerate hazing. The fraternity says that Pender and the two other suspects, they had no official affiliation with any chapter, and they are not financial members. The University of Miami, they also released a statement, and they're saying that the accused men were not affiliated with the undergraduate chapter of Kappa Alpha-Sai.

So we just want to make that clear this morning. And at this point, there has to be some other type of hazing folks could be doing it, right? Like something more intellectual, I don't freaking know, some physical challenges. Even like I said, you do some of the pull-ups, I don't do something where you get back to the community. But like, when you beating somebody to the point where they damn it died, it just does not make sense. Come on, you got to be smarter than this and this Secret Service agent, allegedly whoever. But he's old enough to understand it, no. He's not a young kid.

That's slave master mentality. Like you want to beat somebody to submit to you and be a part of whatever it is that you're doing? Like, I don't, that's weird to me. And really quickly, we have a Nolan Wells update that I wanted to say really quickly. So according to the Magnolia Tribune, the day the 18-year-old, he was laid to arrest, attorneys representing his family sent legal notices to several of his friends or the people he went on the boat with, should I say, their parents signaling that they could expect. a lawsuit to be filed over his death.

Now, the letters do not mean a lawsuit has been filed. Instead, they direct recipients to preserve potential evidence, including cell phones, laptops, text messages, group chats, videos, even boat maintenance records and fuel purchase record. So it's known as a exploitation letter, and they are often served as the first legal step before a potential civil lawsuit. The letter is also worn recipients that they have a legal duty, not to destroy or alter any evidence

that could be relevant to the case. Of course, this move comes as the Wells family represented by Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump continue its own investigation while the state's criminal investigation remains ongoing. So, just a quick update with that story, and I think we are

out of time. So that is your front page news, guys. All right. Thank you. You unsubscribe to Mimi Brown's Front Page News Podcast on the Black Effect Eye Heart Radio podcast network available everywhere you listen to podcasts. Absolutely. That's right. Thanks guys. See you tomorrow. See tomorrow. When we come back, David Porter will be joining us.

Legendary writer wrote for a label named Stax. His records are sample so crazy. He wrote with Isaac Hayes. You know, cash rules, everything around me. Cream, get the money. That was sample from him. Who shot you was sample from him? Mariah has sampled so many things from him. We're going to talk to that brother next. You got to read his book, man, the soul man, life of songwriter, but he'll be here to talk about that. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. hilarious, Charlamagne de Guy. We are the

Breakfast Club. Long LaRose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We have David Porter. He has a new book for soul, man. Life of a songwriter, David Porter. How are you feeling, brother? I feel amazing being with such amazing people. You look amazing too.

Look at me. Yeah, that jack is fly, brother. You got to talk about David Porter, man. David Porter was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame back in 2005. Yep. He's got a catalog that has exceeded over 400 million units in sales. Rolling Stone listed you as one of the 100 greatest songwriters of all times.

Jeez. What? Tell us some of the songs you don't wrote, The Import. Well, actually, let me first give a shout out to my dear partner, who's no longer with us, Isaac Hayes. That's right. We were fortunate enough to write some great songs independent of me, and have some with me, but soul me.

Hold on, I'm coming. You don't know like I know. Your real good thing is about the end, Lou Rawls. Just the emotions, so I can love your best part of a love affair. Johnny Taylor, I had a dream, Little Bluebird, Albert King, personal manager. It's just been Otis Redding, some amazing writing with Otis as well. sung on a record with him as well. That's me singing home.

I feel like so many of them songs you name, them songs you hear on all the commercials. Them of the songs you hear whenever you're just walking into like retail stores. Man, let me hold some. Yeah, let me hold a dollar, man. Those are real stones on that jack, you all. You guys are a great reflection of what this country is in the day's world, and I feel so honored to being your president, and that's no hype, that's fact. How come Stacks records doesn't get the kind of, I guess, reverence or recognition that like a Motown did?

Well, you know, Motown set the template for convincing America to look at us a little bit different. Stacks set the template for making people understand the individual individuality of the black. presentation was something that was so magnetic that it could find an emotional connect with people all of the world who didn't actually like you. So we took our church humbleness that create the foundation of that and we found a way to incorporate that in the musicality of what we were doing. And we took the fact that we put underground message in the writing of the songs. Every one of the songs that we wrote had an underground message to it. Because we only thought it would be played on black radio. And so inside of the underground messaging, we had a surface message

that make people and have fun, you know, and that we had no idea that it would resonate or engage people on the other side of the table to have an appreciation for it. And when it started that, it took on a life of its own, of its own. But it started with us recognizing the individuality of us as the people and then understand that we don't need to run from that. We need to run to that. And that's what we were doing at Stacks. And so it's kind of hard to come to the realization that we're some bad us.

We're the stuff. And so it's a little bit difficult to give that homage and that Adelaation just write out. The truth of that resonates all. We have songs that have played all over the world every day. We have a current music that's done it all over the world every day. So that speaks to that. What was it like revisiting your history? A lot of it, right?

Like with their memories that in writing this book that brought up that you didn't even think about for a long time. Yes, it's really odd. I consider myself a kind of cat that can hold it together but during the course of three years of putting this together I cried some I heard some I rejoice some but I didn't get caught up in the joy

rejoicing part of it because I had to deal with the next step of challenges in the course of the life that I've lived and so it was I got an emotion of gross stuff yeah yeah but it I feel it was worth it because I was able to be in the instance as real as I could

possibly be yeah you talk about how you had to, I guess, hide the messages in the music, right? Was that for survival? Because during the civil rights movement? The way you consider it was 1940. I was born in 1941. My buddy, Maurice White, was born the next month. That's why we're best of friends

as I talk about in the book. The ability is to think that we would have music that would resonate in a meaningful way with everybody was not a real thought process. There was no technology like it is today. So we were of the opinion that Isaac and our other, that it was only going to be played on Black Radio. And

With that in mind, we wanted to be sure that we were doing something constructive in a meaningful way for people that look like us. Motown was doing their thing and it was resonating every kind of way imaginable. But we just felt our audience because we were taking it all the way to the flow, all the way on the reel, all the way in the church kind of vibe. We felt that that was going to be our audience. And we wanted to have a concept that would be sure that we were magnifying some of those positive spirits that they would need. But we also were understanding that it was a music kind of thing that we were hopeful one day the records would be played. So on the top surface of that, we want to have the fun aspect. But when you dig into what's being said in it and what's being music as a language and itself,

what's being created through the emotional connectivity of music, the church is all through all of that. And that was Stacks records. Stax was one of the best examples of like black and white people creating together, right, during like segregation. Why do you think that environment worked? because the white people that were working with us trusted our instincts for the path that they needed to go to be exceptional in what they were doing but also be beneficial to what we were doing. So they were able, Steve Kropp and Doug Don were able to work in a unified way. If you produced the record, if Isaac Hayes and David Porter produced the record or if Don Davis or whoever, Homer Banks, whoever produced the record, they followed the lead of that talent developing their concept for that artist. And if an artist worked on a record,

they develop and magnified their individuality of them. And then you gravitated to that path for them. So these guys were able to adapt to that kind of environment in a meaningful way. And it worked quite well for them. But it was you know, like a full piece rhythm.

You had to find an individuality on every rhythm. And A. Fless or A Fla, regardless how many times you play it. So what do you do? So you have to find some way to create the distinctness for that. And the gift that you guys have The gift that we have as individuals can magnify a personality that benefits us in meaningful ways. So what Isaac and I did, they were able to follow the path, what Johnny Taylor or whoever was working on, they were able to follow the path.

And that's just a learning experience that we've used to perfect what we were doing, but also served as a template for others to follow years later. What can America learn from that? Shaiman, you are doing such an amazing job on the platform that you have to talk about things that are needed in these times, in America. America can learn to listen to more people like you who are given a platform to say things constructive as you have fun with it. You're not crazy. You know how to do, but you also know how to give them the 4-1-1. And so America can learn to pay more attention to people that may have a different perspective than them that may have gone through more to get that perspective than them than may have something meaningful to say that. When did the shift happen, right? When the shift happened for putting a lot of meaningful things in music where people were learning, understanding coming together.

When did this shift happen? When did you see that shift? starting to change. Well, it was starting all across America at the time that we were coming up. You go back to the 60s, and we had already started learning about how to have pride and dignity about who we were. I give WDI a shout out for that, because we started learning the power of individuality, and we all had it. Before that, we were not given that.

But the examples of those who came before set the template for us to understand it. They had to be another path. And so we just started developing that path around that time. It was starting in Chicago. And Curtis and those cats were doing it. It was starting all over the country. And then the unified concentration of that, without all the bells and voices of today's world, came because people began to understand, do you want to keep living like this?

Or do you want to make a difference? So I say it started during our period. It started in the 50s and the 60s became magnified. And by the time Isaac and I started hitting, we were conscious that we could play a role in that subtly as well. Curtis was doing, Curtis Mayfield was doing in Chicago on the floor. And so our period, I don't want to say that we were the stuff. But I tend to think our period started a level of understanding

of what the potential of us could be. And we start learning to use the tools that we had to do that in the most meaningful way we could. And ours was music. But there were others. I mean, we don't have to go down the list. You go to Dr. King and all. Everybody was developing that during that period of time.

But it happened with the suffering and the step that had gone from people before us. What are your thoughts on the list, right? Because, of course, your Rolling Stones 100 greatest songwriters. Does that matter to you? Or does the fact that you have when your culture matters most? That's why you, E.J., you know that matters to me. It matters to me that I want people to understand that I want to do a purpose bigger than the song that I've written. And I applaud someone.

It's trying to drive somebody to pay a little attention. me so I can give them the spirit that I'm trying to give as we talk today. So, yeah, I know that I've had an amazing life, but I've had an amazing life because of people supporting me. And what am I going to do with that? Am I going to give anything back? I'm going to ride in the sunset of it. I choose to try.

I don't know how much access to seats in some instances, but some instances I feel good about it to give something back. So it matters to me that I'm making a difference. By example, through my songs, by the platform that has given me, then carry someone who who possibly looks like me that they could be better than me. I read one of the stories about the $20,000 that you got from Jim Stewart,

one of the co-owners of the Sack record, because you bet him. You bet him that soul man would be successful, right? So in those moments where, you know, as white, black people working together, did you feel like it was more about teaching the other people that aren't us that we were able to do what you guys did

or was it more about empowering your people? Or did you find the middle point there? It was more about being sure that I could resonate and Isaac and I could resonate with the audience that we felt would pay the attention to us and we felt it was going to be us. We did not realize, yeah, I can talk about it now years and years later and act like it's, it was right there. It wasn't right there. I was trying to be sure, and Isaac and I were trying to be sure that our messaging would have the power of impact potential of people that look like us.

And when it starts spreading beyond that, we start crystallizing our thought processes for the concept of what we were doing to make it even more power. And then we're being sure that we're not we're not lose that. So that, you know, that was really all it was. It's easy for me to sit back and just take credit. I saw this. No. I saw that I wanted to get up out of where I was and how could I use who I am to help me to do that? Did the success ever cost you peace? And if it did, how did you find your way back to yourself? Success has cost me peace with family matters and all of those things, not being able to give to children that were part of me. and having to go forward with all of that, finding out that I had to find a value in the path that I was going that would separate me from people that may misperceive what my intentions are based on how they saw me interacting with them. And they wanted me to do it more meaningful. I had to focus on getting the next session read it or the next song.

So, yeah, it played a role in having some ups and downs with it. How do you find your way back to yourself? I fell in love every day getting up. that the only way I'm going to be better for me is being better to me. And so I had to go about that. And that's a daily chore. Some days you feel like it and some days you feel like that. You know, but it's a daily sure.

I think everybody who has any level of success, if they tell everybody every day that they feel amazing, they're lying. So, yeah, I've gone through, you know, even with all this success, I've got a great life. I've gone, I've gone through that. Because some things you feel you can do more and some things you feel you should have done Unless, you know. You know, with some of the songwriters today,

what do you think is lacking if you are listening in? Out of the younger songwriters right now, are there any that you like? I am a huge, huge fan. And I've been for several years of NRA. Hmm. I know I've heard about the country, some stuff. I am a huge fan.

Why? What does she do that make you? Because she finds, as I say, inside of my nonprofit program, there are no new emotions. you have to find a fresh way to talk about calm and emotions. That's real. And she works in a magnified way

to do that in her creative process. And I think she does it magically. When she talks about brown skin. Yeah. When you have this perception that you've been trying to be ingrained in you about what that is, and she talks about it's in such a way

that you want to lay with brown skin. I mean, no, it's like, there are a few. I admire the writing in the contribution of those who are contributing with Kendrick as well. I learned some of the work. I love some of the work that I saw in Jay-Z and some of the storytelling and those kinds of things. What do you think people are lacking when it comes to the storytelling and the writing? What are they lacking?

I know you talk about it's the same emotion, but figuring new ways to talk about it. What do you think that they're lacking when it comes to songwriting, if any? Well, anything I would say in today's world, to today's telling, in that regard, They were similar you, you don't know. I mean, what are you talking about? You old man, you don't, you know. And that's why I simply say there are no new emotions. And I say to people, if you are lacking the understanding of figuring out what that truly mean,

then that's why you're saying some of the stuff that you're saying that is totally whack. One other question from there. Do you feel like people, men, especially don't express their love for women anymore, right? some of the songs you would hear people would express the love for a woman. Like, say, I love you. I will do this for you. Our man. True. Okay. Some of the great songwriters

were back then. Yeah. Right. Was there in love with men? You're right. But you're right. Do you feel like that's missing in writing now? That's the real what you just said, and it is missing. It's because, I don't

say, I don't know that I would have the answer why it's because. But I think that folk who are afraid to show true emotion are shortchanging themselves of a gift, the potential for an amazing gift. It gives you a kind of peace and a kind of look and dignity about you that radiates through you in such a way that's undeniable. And so for you to try to be hard because you think that's the path, guess what? You look hard.

Some of these cats look like. And so it's better to understand that there's a greater value in giving the purity of what life is really about and that's the gift of life through love and and so that's that's a that's a a weapon that's that in a positive way don't run from it but you know to your question yeah I think a lot of people think that that's a path that that's worth going I think there's a greater value because the universality of it to talk about things that involve love in the period of that absolutely you find a fresh way to talk about that you think the feeling in the music was different back then because the quality of the

vagina was better. Wow. Well, you want to talk about it? You know what? Let me tell you. Let me tell you. Let's say it. Look here. Look at. You started to answer it too. You started to answer it too. You started.

Yeah, yeah. I'm going to be a chat with y'all. I watch you guys. And I enjoy this. You know, you know, first of the thing is a lot of reason. that I'm happy to be on the show with you. But I enjoy the fact of course. And I enjoy the interplay that you and you do, I mean, that's why I say if people would understand

the power of what the beauty of this is and what you're giving to them, then they find even deeper value in some of the things that you are saying. So, so. Basically, because there's a lot of power in this. But now, at 85, right?

You look good with my brother, 85. Yes. Yeah. I'm sure you've seen a lot of your friends, a lot of your peers transition. How does that make you deal with your own mortality? It makes me feel like I need to be sure that I'm doing more for however much time I do have. So I got up this morning and did my stretches and did my little exercise inside of that room because I didn't get a chance to go to the gym. So I could be sure that I was on, be on point for you because I know Michael Jackson made a record about you.

Y'all bad. And you each individually would bring it. Every question, Lauren or Jess are you guys at. I know it's going to be on point and it's going to be digging for something deeper. And I got to be on ready for that. And so that's really what it means to me to have the gift of life that I have at this point, to try to magnify whatever quality in me that's exceptional. You know, it also pains me when I hear so many stories about, you know,

people that came before us and, you know, how a lot of them were addicted to drugs from alcohol and it just makes me wonder what would have, what would the game, would the game have been different if people had more access to mental health resources back? Because it felt like they were all just trying to escape something. Yeah. I saw those examples that made me be so fearful. I said to just a few minutes ago

about five toilets. I was so scared. I'd hate to sense of having to live with an outdoor toilet for life that I had to be sure that whatever it would take. Let me get to beyond that, I would look for ways to do that. And one of the ways to do that was be sure. I didn't do something that could help hurt me along the path of getting there. And if people would think about what is the worst thing that you've gone through?

Do you want to double up on that? And then if you don't want to double up on that, will this possibly aid you to doing that? Maybe you think twice about doing it. Because some people do some things. I'm going to just have some fun. Let's just throw down. Yeah. Throw down means that you need to look at the, you don't need to look at the word throw.

You need to look at the word down. I can see what that can mean. No. I just chose not to take that path. If you could spend one more day in the Stacks studio with everybody back together, right? What's the first conversation you want to have? Well, if I could spend one more day after what had happened,

haven't happened, don't give up. They're going to try to knock you all the way to the floor. Don't give up. Al Bell, you were a great asset, not just to Stacks Records, but to America. Don't let them check that from you. You know, Jim still just come up with a great idea the style of record company.

You open the door for a lot of people to become totally expressive in what they've done. Know that it was appreciated. You know, Rufus Thomas, you know, you sang, cause I love you. That was a benchmark

for somebody looking a little bit closer at a company that was so much different than cause I love you. You are respected. I would go down the list. Rance Allen, one of the greatest voices

who ever sang a song and let him know that what he did through his voice was more than just the church, getting healed from it there was other people on the street I was just

What about the Isaac? And then Isaac was my life I was his life The unity and the bond That we formed together That created a creative path But two young cats That never imagined him having one

Was something unbelievable I'd say that What he always wanted to do Was to find an artful way To do what voices like he is Were not thought of being able to do And because we created a path of concept

To do what we did Through the way we created, he saw another path to do what he wanted to do with his artistry, and that was take songs that were recorded by others, take his tone and his concept to magnify where he was vocally, and they could be one of the most powerful contribution to American music ever was. He should be totally applauded for it. He knows that I loved them. He knew it from day one until he left here, and I would just say, boy,

didn't see this coming, did you sack? Because we called each other Hobbesack and Robesack. You didn't see this coming. I'm sure he would say, you know, but I would go through the room of all of that. Wow. So, man, ladies and gentlemen. David Porter. Book is out right now.

Life of a songwriter, David Porter. We appreciate you for joining us. And one last question, Bruce Springsteen. Yes. Had a note for you. What was your relationship with Bruce Springsteen? Well, Bruce was a huge fan of the songs that Isaac and I wrote. And he voiced that.

Not only did he voice that. He recorded that. He sang it on TV shows. He was a big supporter of Sam. more and then when we got together, he made me totally aware of that. And he just, he told me how much admiration. And so when I asked if he would give a quote to the book, he says, yes. And it was, it was not a thing about talk to this person, talk to that person. He says, yes. He's rich. is the same thing. He says, yes. Steve Jordan, one of the most amazing trauma producers, cast, New York

guy, right? On the floor. He helped me with my non-profits, Steve did. So, yeah, no, some great, great folk have voice support. And certainly for my nonprofit, all these videos that I have, Eric Benet's and Lettuces and all these great talents that we're trying to give back to the communities that have aspirations to do music. So I have a lot of people to think.

If I could start going down to listen. I did, man. Thank you so much. I do have one more question. Just for this era, because I don't know if they actually understand what does having soul actually mean in 2006. That's what I want to ask.

What does having soul actually mean in 2020. Is it a sound? Is it a spirit? Is it a way of living? Soul actually means not being afraid to show the vulnerability that lives inside of each and every one of us. And do it in a pure way. It doesn't disconnect your manhood or your womanhood. It just only magnifies the qualities of you that lets people know that you can understand the that they may come up with when they come up with it. And you can also understand that the glory or the beauty that they come up with. And that's what soul. Soul is the thing that can connect both ways. You can give it, you can see it, and people can bring it back to you.

And that's what I would. It's longer than that, but that's what I would say. You guys got a show with a time limit, so I won't go to preaching on what sold, but I can. No, you can. They need to hear it. You remain so positive after everything you've been through. You have never met. I'm saying it's really in a confident way because I control the space I stand on,

and that's all I know I totally control. you have never met a person more positive about being black than me. Because everything I am could be and want to be lives in the power of that. I don't think that anybody else in any other Anthony group that was David Porter could be this. And I think it's because of the fact that I come from the timber that I came from that gives that to it. And so that's, y'all ain't going to give me emotion in here. David Porter, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for joining us.

We appreciate you. That's right. It's the Breakfast Club. There's no shortcut for saving time. But saving money is simple. Just combine your car and home insurance with Bel Air Direct and save. Get a quote at bellair direct.com. What's up, fam?

I tell the stories behind music's biggest names the moments that shaped them, haunted them, and changed music history forever. Like how the story of the foo fighters and Dave Grohl isn't just about music. Imagine that.

You're in the biggest band on the planet, as Dave Grohl was in 1994 in Nirvana. And the phone rings, and you learn that your singer, your friend, the reluctant voice of a generation, Kurt Cobain, is dead. This is a story of fame, pressure, friendship, and the weight of fulfilling your destiny. Learn more about the moment everything changed. Disgraceland is part of the exactly right network. Listen to new episodes every Tuesday, bonus episodes Thursday,

and rewinds on Sunday on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Because you particularly are bringing to any other. to mainstream radio, the black radio. That sources trust. Did you hear that exclusive? Lauren. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit

about everything and everything. She'd be having the latest companies. You ask the question that need to be answered. On the breakfast club. If little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. L.L. Coopinney. All righty, guys. So you guys remember we talked about the former housekeeper

of Chris Browns that was awarded the $13 million because she was viciously attacked by a dog at Chris Brown's home, right? Well, now she is saying she wants to get her hands on the money that he is making from the current tour that he is on with Usher. So she filed court docs recently

and she says that she alleges that Chris Brown has made no effort to satisfy any portion of the judgment. So now she is saying that she wants the court to give her full access to Chris Brown's financial records so that she can seize what she is owed. So she points out that Chris Brown is currently on this big tour

or Usher, the R&B tour, and she says that he is being paid a lot of money. And she also says that she wants all the payments from the tour, any entertainment related projects or residuals directed to her because Chris Brown hasn't or doesn't appear to willingly want to work with her to get the payment paid off.

So how can she just bring up his tour? Like it's just like she's very heavily focused on this tour. That's where the money coming from right now. I think she just sees it and she knows it's happening. She probably don't, I mean, she's probably assuming he makes money other ways. That's why she's talking about like residuals and money from other entertainment entities. But right now,

if you just open, like everybody knows that that tour is happening. So she's just pointing there. So it's appeal out the window? Like he can't appeal no more. This is done. It's a judgment he has to pay. Yes, because remember, he already, he didn't deny that she was attacked. They were just trying to figure out the amount of money.

Let me not say yes, 100% to that. Because I don't know if he can go back and say, hey, can you lessen this amount? But as of the last time we talked about this, what the judge awarded her was this amount of money. And they broke it down between her different family members that also had to witness this as well, too. How much says it again? It's $13 million. I'll tell you one thing. dog costs me $13 million. That dog got

to get put down. But it's not the dog. It's not the dog. It's the handler. Oh, you blaming the victim? It's the hand, no, I said the handler of the dog. Did the handle of the dog bite the person? No, but if you have a dog and you know your dog is a vicious dog, if it is a dog that bites or you have a dog that

is an attack dog, you have to make sure you make precautions that that dog is in a place that is not going to hurt regular people. And Chris wasn't even there. No, no, no. Who had a handler was there. He was there because when he testified, he said that he heard it. He didn't know what was going on.

He heard the commotion and he came out. He saw her laying face down and when he flipped her over or when she flipped over, they were just trying to make sure she was alive because he did admit that it was really, really bad. Bam. Yeah. Listen, putting the dog, you know, the sleep is a compassionate choice made to end severe suffering. And a lot of times it's for the dog. But in this case, having to give someone $13 million is causing me severe pain and suffering.

So that dog may have to get put down. That has nothing to do with the dog. And why did the dog flip out? Do we know that? I don't recall. Well, it all depends. Because if you do have an attack dog, dogs are vicious. So they protect their home.

It doesn't matter who's there who's not. They only protect the family members. And if they see somebody, that's what they... But you think that was the first time in that woman's house? I don't... You think that was the first time that woman was in the house? It doesn't matter. Was she a nanny or something?

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. If she wasn't around the dog and that dog was, you know, protecting whoever, whatever it was, yeah, that's what the dog is supposed to do. Well, what happens when the dog costs you $13 million? You don't want it no more. I don't know, but I'm going to get in contact with him.

There ain't no way you're still loving and feeding on that dog. With her attorneys and with Chris Brown's attorneys to see what if that maybe is, maybe that is it. Maybe he's planning to try and go get that amount reduced or something because he willingly. He willingly showed up to court and testified, you know what I mean? I feel like your victim blaming too, man. You have to. You just blame the dog. You blame the handler.

But we don't, I don't even remember how it all started. We don't know how it was. Who's the victim here, Lauren? Do you even know? You don't even know. The woman is a victim, but you don't know what I'm saying? The woman is a victim, but you don't throw him. all over the place.

On the dog. The dog need to get put down. God damn. Yeah, that's crazy. They probably put the dog. I say out of the dog conversations because people take that. But I do wonder, you know, what the, the, the, the, how bad it was, you know, like. I mean, they said they had to flip over to see.

It was $13 million back. That's what I'm saying. That's like $13 million. That's a lot. That's a lot. That's a lot. Wow. All right.

Well, you got to put that dog to sleep, sell them for parts. Shut up. But usually the insurance covers a lot of that because you, I'm sure you. had homeowners insurance usually homeowner insurance comes up or I don't even know how much Jesus Christ that's a lot but go ahead. Continue on. So moving on and now we'll be more there. We'll update some of the questions that I couldn't answer here. I'll be back with that.

Now moving forward completely separate. Cardi B. So yesterday Cardi B dropped a snippet of a song on her Instagram. She captioned it hmm, why not? Trying to see if the fans wanted to think it'll be a vibe for the rest of the summer. Now she did post another video following this explaining the line talking about being trapped by

man because of kids because the fans came out Like, girl, what? Let's take a listen. Really debating if I want to like put it out or not. Now me and my labor are panicking because I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to preview something. And now that I see the check guys like it, I'm like, damn, I'm going to have to shoot a music video this weekend. I'm going to have to take a flight and shoot a video this weekend.

I'm glad that I'm just having fun with music and like, y'all just like loving it and enjoying it. But I don't know what it is. I feel like y' got something against bad b-b-b-ass. I know exactly what I said on that line. A-n-c can't trap me. I won't keep him. I can have a baby with a . But that's the issue.

You can have a baby with a n-uh, and sometimes because you have a baby with them, or you're going to keep a baby, or you have a baby, or whatever the fuck that is that you will move the fuck on. Nah, bitch, I'll take my baby and get the fuck on on. I don't hear nothing wrong with that. I mean, people don't jump in relationships

and have babies with people just, like, knowing that it's not going to work, you know? Sometimes it just happens. And you ain't supposed to be holding to a mom. up, I mean, to a person just because you got kids. You have a kid, you get out of it. I mean, now, you've got to be careful. You're supposed to learn from that type of, you know what I'm saying?

Can't just give everybody by your baby, but you can't stay there. If you ain't happy either. You have a kid? Yeah, me and my kids, we're out. Co-parenting, ain't nothing wrong with effectively co-parenting. If it don't work, keep it moving. But shouldn't you, with that case, shouldn't you really, really, really, really, think about who you having kids with?

That's what I said. That's supposed to learn from when you do that. You know, it's not supposed to be a, repeated pattern like I repeat this line every week you feel like but the honorable Minnesota Lewis Farrakhan said we treat sex and breeding like we on the rolling dice on the back of a moving pickup truck every single person you lay down with there's a potential to have a baby with you know what didn't we just had this conversation other day yes had the conversation what was it about what was the lady

the lady the trapped the dude no the lady that trapped the guy I was saying there's no such thing as trapping because if you lay down with a person know what you know what you have the baby you and that baby you have a responsibility to that child because notice what just just said you and the child can be out you may lead you may lead that dude alone but you still got to take care of that child and a child still connected to the person so i mean exactly space or not different apartment or not still there but i like the song though i wanted to put the song out we got we got a 60 seconds let's do the last one because we're like so let's take a listen to erc bennay had a conversation about men in their bodies let's take a listen hey how you doing

just a random uh bathtub thought uh look if you are one of those men who feel like if you wash your ass with soap and water and get up in that, my f***, make sure it's clean. If you're one of those men who feel like that simple hygiene act makes you gay, then you very well are probably closeted gay male. You should wash your ass expeditiously. Your girlfriend will appreciate it. and from the sounds of it, your future boyfriend will appreciate it as well.

What the hell is happening on this planet? Watching your ass and gain up? Not exactly. We're going to open up the phone lines and discuss 800585.85. You can't wash your ass? That's why I thought it was a problem. I had these conversations. I'm like, yeah, that's a conversation.

No, it's tough. If you wash your ass, you can't. I've never heard that before. I don't think that it is, but I've heard men be like, and say, I've heard certain men be like, no, I don't want to do that. I don't bend over. I don't squat a certain way when I'm washing up because. You don't bend over to wash your hat.

Yeah, you don't have to. Sometimes you might have to like open up and get in there. Lift a leg up. Y'all are just be so careful about some of the things that I think are the stupidest things sometimes. We'll open up the phone lines. 800585-1501-105-1. Fellas, do you think washing your ass is gay? I'm talking about I'm 40-8.

You think I'm really, really, really, early, getting up in there is gay? I was born in 19178. I've never heard such. I've never heard that before my life. That's what I said. I've heard it. I've heard a little rumblins about it. Rumblins.

We'll talk about it when we come back. Thank you for the latest for Lauren. You're welcome. All right. Now, Sean a baby. Who are you giving your washed ass too? Well, speaking of gay, prison sex is not funny. I mean, prison rape is not funny.

We'll discuss. Yo, shut up, man. We'll discuss four after the hour. Get that out right now. Get it all out. Get it all out right now. Cut it the hell out right now. Okay, this is not a funny subject and we will discuss when we come back.

Do not play that ditty record. I do not. It's the breakfast cloak morning. That's a donkey. So I'm supposed to say, that's a donkey. It's time. Donkey of the day. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to do.

And then I found out that I had become donkey of the donkey. Look at that don't know. Donkey of the day. Don't get me. Look at these donkeys. Solomon, who you give me that donkey? A bunch of effing jackasses. On the breakfast class.

Salomein, who getting the donkey of the day today? Okay, Taylor gang. Drop on the clues bombs for Taylor made it. Damn it, Taylor made the productions. Donkey here today for Tuesday, July, what do I hear? Oh, donkey here today for Tuesday, July 28th is a story that really disturbed my spirit. Okay, first of all, I want to say my brothers, getting sexually assaulted in prison is not funny. Okay, as much as the jokes about men being sexually assaulted in prison can be funny.

Okay, being sexually assaulted in prison is not funny. Okay. What are you talking about, Uncle Charlotte? Well, let me take a step back. See, the thing I do love about social media is discovery. I discover new people, new stories all the time. time. I often don't know what's fiction and what's nonfiction, but a story came across my timeline yesterday that is absolutely real and sad. Okay, there's a social media personality

and content created named ATL Tate, who I never heard of until yesterday. I saw a little Duval post this clip, drop on a clues bounce, a little Duval. I saw a little Duval post his clip yesterday and he was concerned and I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out the answer to this young man's question. Now, let me continue to tell you about ATL Tate. He's a social media personality and content creator. Do you know him, Jess? No. Okay, well, he's known for maintaining a real

active online presence, especially on TikTok. I think he's got like 145,000 followers on TikTok or something like that. And he's facing incarceration following probation violations related to a prior reckless driving charge, okay? Let's go to WSBTV

for the report, please. Leslie Reese can't believe. 21-year-old Horace Diller Jr. asked to be released on bond again after all she's been through. Everyone is simply shocked that I'm still alive because who's going to survive falling from overpass? Some 30 feet. My doctor let me know I was so close to almost losing my life. Reese's car broke down on the I-85 Plasters Avenue bridge that afternoon last October. She was standing in the emergency lane. I was able to turn to my right and basically see the car

coming at me. Police say Dillard was going more than a hundred 130 miles per hour. They say he hit another car, then hit Reese, knocking her over the bridge. I was like unconscious once I hit the ground. Dillard's not guilty plea disturbed Reese. I'm shocked like that he's trying to plead innocent when I'm here and I almost lost my life. She's also bothered Dillard got out on bond, then drove recklessly, drove when he wasn't supposed to, got a DUI and violated curfew multiple times,

according to prosecutors. Now, apparently he's in jail because he was placed on probation for reckless speed racing and driving intoxicated. He was sent to prison after violating terms of that probation by driving under the influence again.

So it sounds like he could have been donkey today way back then, okay? But the reality is prison is exactly where this young man needs to be. Okay, reckless speed racing and driving intoxicated. A, T.L.T.L. You could have killed someone. Okay, you got probation for that.

So God gave you another opportunity and you gave God your ass to kiss because you decided to drive under the influence again. Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. And what you did ATLTA is insane. And because of that insanity, ATLT, you know, prison is where you are. And prison is actually where he has gained a lot of viral attention because he's posting updates from behind bars. And that is why we are here today because ATLTA posted a video. it's the first and only video I've ever seen that this young man

but he asked a question that I don't see anyone taking seriously now I'm gonna let you know right now what you may hear or what you're about to hear may disturb you it may not even be appropriate for kids but if you have a little bad ass son

if you have a little hard-headed young man who keeps getting in trouble in school who keeps having run-ins with the law hell if you got a young child on probation right now have them gather around this radio okay if you on Netflix have them gather around whatever device you are watching us on

and allow them to be scared. She's great. Let's listen. I'm not, I'm just one person, bro. I'm just one person. Why would I be sucking all your d? Tell me, why do I have to suck the whole door?

Oh, my God. I'm serious. Why don't I have to suck the whole wharf? Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Why does he have to get Felicio to the whole dorm? That's a valid question, okay? The answer is because prison is not a playground.

All right? This video should scare every young child straight because if you don't change your lifestyle and get straight, you're going to end up in somebody's prison getting gay. And clearly it won't be your choice, your choice, okay? ATLT sounds like he has no other options. He sounds like his mouth is getting violated,

whiff or without his. his consent and that's why we are here today. I saw a lot of laughing emojis underneath this video on Duval's page so much so that Duval took the video down. And I'm going to tell you something. ATL Tay is in prison because he committed a crime, but he should not, he should be able, okay, to do his time without his mouth being a party platter for prisoners. Okay, his fallacious is not to be shared with the family.

This is not in all you can suck restaurant format where everyone shares food from one mouth. No, this is a young man who was just trying to do his time and I understand his prison, but we have to change our cultural attitudes toward prisoners. There's a lot of people who will say prison is supposed to be harsh. Some folks even see sexual violence as part of the punishment rather than a crime. That attitude is why people don't have empathy for someone like ATLT, and I have a problem with that. Can we listen to that audio again, please? Please.

I'm not, I'm just one person, bro. I'm just one person. Why would I be sucking all y'all? Tell me. Why do I have to suck the whole door? Oh, my God. What the fuck? Why are you serious?

Why don't I have to suck the whole? Does he want to suck half of? Why he asks Us? You see what I'm saying? But it's a valid question. This is a cry for help. Is it?

He answers to the cry for help, man. What you mean? Is it? You want to go help him then? Since you don't think it's a cry for help, you go help him then. And since you don't think that's a crime for help, go join him and help him then.

God damn it. To me, it just seems like he just don't want to do the whole barrack. He just want to do half the barracks. Well, how many niggas in the dorm? That's what I'm saying. He just don't want to do it. Just the black. No, no, no. The black got, you know, the black got a bigger.

Oh. No. It just don't seem like he's, like, concerned with that part of it. It's just how many he has to do. At one time. Excuse my brother and sister here. They just, just a little retarded, okay? All right.

Folks should see this video and look at it for what it is. A cry for help, okay? They should be reaching out to that facility and reporting what they saw because they're making this young man play solos on the skin flute against his will, okay? He got to get a whole dumb throat solos because he made some bad decisions that landed him in prison. I don't think karma works like that, man, but I want kids to hear this story and learn from it. Destiny is not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice.

And a few bad decisions can put you in situations you never imagined, okay? With a diet, you never imagined. And stop letting these social media folks fool you. Prison isn't content. It's a consequence for poor choices. Okay, so make choices today that you're a few. yourself won't have to survive or suck. Please give everyone laughing at ATL TAY being sexually assaulted in prison, the biggest he-ha.

I'm just saying, you know, he asks us. That's a hell of an instrumental you just played. You, me, him, and him? Like, that's crazy. That's crazy. You know what I mean? He just don't want all of them. Why?

You shouldn't have to suck. Any. You don't know what he's, what he wants to do. You don't. Or like what he's willing. It's like, it's only a,

it's only a, you know what I'm saying? There's a limit to it. It's only a certain amount you can even really comfortably suck. Like, you see, like, don't bring him in good time,

you know? That's not what I heard. I heard of cry for help. Okay, somebody should do the right thing and report what they just saw. By the way, I don't even know if he's playing tonight.

It don't seem like he playing. No, hell no. What I just seen? What I just seen I just click some of his videos. It seemed like he was. Why? By the way, even if he's Not 10, just nine, no.

But that don't mean, just because he's gay I didn't say that. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. It's not, no, no, no. It's just, like, no, man, we just gonna make it work. Yeah, you're right. Yeah.

Dude had 15 inches. You would be tired to us. See. See, they have to go that. Yeah, you, but you be in here saying, it's so funny. I didn't mean to set myself. I'm just saying it just, you know,

I don't even understand. It seemed like it just, just overwhelmed. I'm just trying to break it down. That's a lot. A man being sexually assaulted at a time. Yeah. A couple one day. They just heard about what he did too.

Wednesday. They probably heard about how he ended up in there how he ain't really cared about what he did. What reckless driving got to do with reckless philatio? What are we talking about here, people? That lady almost died, bro. No. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now, let's talk about washing your ass. 800, 585, 105.1. Eric Bonaise said guys out there are not washing their ass because they think it's gay. Oh, God. What are we doing? I've never heard this before.

Yo, y'all never heard it. Jets to Lawrence said that they've heard it before. A little young, dumb boy. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it when we come back. 800585-1501. It's the breakfast club. Good morning.

It's topic time. Call 800-5-8-5-105-1 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's D-J-N-V-J-Hallari, Sholomey Naga. We are the breakfast club. So if you're just joining us, Eric Bonaise said this yesterday while he was in his toe taking a bath.

Hey, how you doing? Just a random bathtub thought. Look, if you are one of those men who feel like if you wash your ass with soap and water get up in that, my

make sure it's clean. If you're one of those men who feel like that simple hygiene act makes you gay, then you very well are probably a closeted gay male. You should wash your

ass expeditiously. Your girlfriend will appreciate it. And from the sounds of it, your future boyfriend will appreciate it as well. So we're asking 800585 1051. Have you heard of it? And is it gay to wash your ass? I guess that is the question. Yeah, I've

heard of that. And no, it's not gay to wash your ass. Yeah, it's definitely not gay. But you know what? What I used to hear some dudes say is like getting all up in there. It's like they would feel gay. They would feel gay. Like now I'm not digging all in my ass

and it's like, why not? You have to. All right. Confession. What's up? I tell too much up here. My wife hates it, but it's all good. So, yes, I used to be the type of guy that didn't quote unquote get up all in there. See what I'm saying? But I'm going to tell you why. You said that. You don't know what that's going on. But I didn't ever thought about it. That's not a conversation

you to have with the fellas at the barbershop and we're out in the bell, like, hey fellas, did you wash your ass? But let me tell you, so, you know, one day, me and in gear, this is a long time ago, you know, we take showers with each other, we wash each other.

And one day she got up all in there. And I'm like, whoa. And then I realized I'm supposed to wash my ass. Thoroughly and correctly. So ever since that, I'm like, I washed my ass. But you should get up all in there.

You don't want stinky ass? That's what I'm saying. So what was on a rag when she washed your ass? You didn't know all that was all up in there? All them little dingleberries and all the butt crust all up in there and she really went up in there and had to detail your ass

and you didn't think about it the whole time detailing your ass and your boxes your briefs wasn't crunchy at the end of the night they're not crunchy anymore but that was what I was younger but she did it and I was like oh I have to get up all I was the thing I was just like a wang you know keep it moving but now I imagine how long before that happened

she was really thinking about like really probably breaking up with you or probably you know that's probably why she didn't orgasm either y'all right Enough. Little stinky ass. But detail in your ass is funny. I like that. Mr. Waxer.

First of all, I've never in my life heard this nonsense that y'all are speaking this morning. Okay, in fact, all the OGs around me always encouraged me to wash my ass.

Yeah, but they're, and they were homophobic. And they never, ever told me not to wash my ass. But she's talking about getting me in there. All right? Yeah, get in there.

These are the same people that would clown you for wearing pink. And never, ever, ever told me not to wash my ass. They always encouraged me to wash my ass. And how was it gay when it's your hand in your ass

what's the difference between washing your ass and masturbating if y'all think washing your ass is gating what do y'all think masturbation what are you doing here? Fathers should be washing their infant son and toddler's asses

and I have three washcloths one for my body one for my face one for my ass and my penis okay so what are we talking about here this is ridiculous like come on man

that's a lot of laundry I didn't realize let's go to the phone lines do you do that envy you got like how many how many you got for the shot? Well, for my face, I use my hands.

I wash my hands. That's not, that's not, that's not. You should get a white washcloth for your face. Right, that's what I use. And you, honestly, that's, you got to, you only use it once a day, right? Uh-huh. And then you got one for your body,

for your ass and your private. And then you got, I mean, one for your body, and then one for your ass and your private. Well, I wash my hands, my face wet by my hands. My wife tells me to put it on the fingertips and rub it in. My wife does it. My wife's face is impeccable. Crystal clear.

Never had no Botox, nothing, no collagen, nothing. in her base, so I follow what she does. And I watch my washcloth every day. Why did you act like that when she got up in your ass, though? Let's go to the phone. Because that wasn't your first time. Yeah. Yes, it was.

You grew up in the 90s, bro. You was a Surrock boy. That was just... That's why his ass was dirty. That's why she had to wash it. Hello, who's this? I'm done to Sarah. All that dirt history.

Yo, good morning. Hey, good morning. Good morning. I talk to us. Hey, first and foremost, I want to say, good morning. B. Day, M.V., Jeff, this morning.

Good morning, Steve. Yeah, listen. I never... I never heard, I always grew up with like old heads, no young dude. So I never heard none of the old heads telling me, yo, that was gay. Never heard that. I was always told to wash your butt. Word.

I had this girl one day. I went back in my wild days and my military days. I had this girl that told me she went down on me. She said, she said, you fresh down there. I'm thinking to myself what, dude, you mess with ain't fresh? Yeah. What's going on? That's crazy.

I get it, bro. I don't know what they in here talking about this morning. I really don't Because I said the same thing All my OGs Encourage me to go Go wash your ass I've never heard

Nobody ever say watching your ass I'm a waxer man So I don't know All that hair makes you think All that But DJ Indy I got something for you Nah You can have something for me

I have to talk about that bro Oh all right Oh damn Blow it on man Go ahead Do it again Yeah There you go.

Appreciate you, brother. No doubt. Now, you're just joining us. Eric Veney had a public service announcement to the men out there. Let's listen. Hey, how you doing? Just a random bathtub thought. Look, if you are one of those men who feel like if you wash your ass with soap and water, get up in that, my,

Make sure it's clean. If you're one of those men who feel like that simple hygiene act makes you gay, then you very well are probably closeted gay male. You should wash your ass expeditiously. Your girlfriend will appreciate it. And from the sounds of it, your future boyfriend will appreciate it as well. So we're asking 800-585-105-1. Have you ever heard any?

anything like that before. Hello, who's this? I'm going to remain anonymous because I got to expose somebody for this. Oh, man. Expose them. Talk to us anonymous. Well, technically,

he's only exposing the family group chat. So I was babysitting my nephew and I was watching him take a shower and I realized he didn't wash him behind. And I said, hey, you got to wash him behind. He said, no. My dad said when I washed my dad, just let the water and the soap

touched my behind and my good. No. I'm telling you. I texted the family group chat with him in it, and I told him, so that means, and he's 42. I told me,

for the past 42 years, you ain't never washed your behind. I exposed him with our cousins, our siblings. I've exposed him for that. So that's nasty. You should have hit his wife. It'd be like,

I feel sorry for you. Yeah. Oh, he divorced, actually, three times. Oh, that's probably why, because his ass is stinky. Oh, that poor baby, man.

He wants to tell that kid. Oh, yeah. I, I thought my, next you had a shower and he had three boys. Damn, y'all. Now, maybe I'm starting to realize the problem here. Sluot guy Amizi.

Amizi was all board up here for many, many years. Amizi, what's up, brother? Amizi just texting said, how far are y'all sticking the soap up your ass? Who the hell is sticking balls of soap up there? That's a little kinky. That's a little kinky. Who do that?

That does sound like a kink. Like, that's a little kinky. Who does that? I take the shower. gel, put it on the watch rag, you know, lather it up. Lather it up. Put the rash rag between the cheeks.

And get up in there. And wipe. But you gotta go in the hole a little bit. You know that. And? Yeah, that's what you mean. He ain't saying. Only about a half a centimeter.

And I want the record to show. Another thing that will change your life, fellas. A bidet. A bidet. Okay. God damn it. You know what I mean? I can't even sit on these public toilets no more.

Because it don't even feel right. So that's kind of like a dush, like an ass dush. Yes. Yes. My bad day, I got to get the service. You know, the water don't shoot down. The last couple of weeks. Shoot, my God.

I got hell of pressure. Damn, you broke it? I guess so, yeah. You know, you can increase the pressure, right? You got it to the highest? I got it to the highest. Oh, you kick it. Oh, you kick it.

How many speeds, y'all? How many speeds y'all? How many speeds y'all? There's a bunch of speeds. Because sometimes if it go too hard, you're not expecting it, it goes, boom. He'd be like, oh. Right. You didn't sat on yours and broke your shit.

Or, I'm telling it too much. Or, because they got one for the button, and they got one for the front. Right. If you hit the wrong one sometimes, ooh, yeah. And I just want everybody to know how there, if you are putting bars of soap in your ass,

there's only one brand of soap that can be used if you're sticking it up your soap and sticking it in your ass. Zest is crazy. Why are you putting the whole bars of soap in your ass? Like, you don't know. Put the laser on the towel. Yeah. Wipe your ass.

Once again, I use three washcloths. One for my face, one for my body, one for my ass in private. All right, well, when we come back You don't take washing serious enough for me Yeah, that's curr, you gotta really be thorough How do you use two watch?

You know, people are using two cloths for their car? Yeah, they be out there using one to watch, then one to drive. And then one for the wheels. One for the wheels. But y'all only using one for your body. That's nice. Something wrong with y'all, bro.

Something wrong with y'all. My wife told me, watch clothes, she never touched my face. Use your fingertips of your hands. Got you. Anyway, when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. It's the breakfast.

Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Chrysall, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. Kyle is going for it here.

Are you fully improvised, not just words, but a song, a melody? I thought he was going to write. I thought you're all going to write a song. I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia. Ayo, rewatch on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every song has a story, but there are some stories you were never meant to hear. I'm Jake Brennan, and in the disgrace land podcast, rock star mythology collides with unbelievable true crime stories from music history.

These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Blondie's Debbie Harry was, not for the first time in her life, in shock. The man who had given her that ride all those years ago, a ride she barely escaped from with her life. That man was Ted Bundy. For the last eight years, I've taken listeners behind the music, into the mythology, into the crimes and consequences underscoring the careers of your favorite musicians. From Double Elvis, Disgraceland is now part of the exactly right network

in IHeart Podcasts. New episodes every Tuesday, bonus episodes Thursday, and rewinds on Sunday. Listen to Disgraceland on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's love one.

Lauren becoming a straight thing. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. I say I'm the biggest. The largest. The latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right, y'all.

So, quick update, Diddy in solitary confinement. I still don't have an answer as to what exactly happened, but I have been checking in with his team since the last time we talked about this. I do know, though, that they are still actively trying to figure out what happened. And I ask them, like, why wouldn't at this point someone from Fort Worth a Dick's have communicated to his family like everything's in the head like you know no questions have been answered and they

what I was told by his rep was that unless it was like he was gravely ill or there was like imminent danger to his life nothing would be communicated to them either so they have to wait to hear from him and they have not yet. Diddy was really just trying to serve his time to get the hell out so that person must have

pushed Diddy to the limit where he thought he had to defend himself. I can't answer that question I have a lot of questions I want to know if this messes up you know the progress he's been making in that program as well like I have a lot of questions but just want to let you guys know that I've been checking in and once I do have something solid I'll bring it back here Hey man he's still doing better than ATLT

ain't none of y'all want to think about ATLT okay T LTLT is being forced to suck the whole dorm room off allegedly just trying to figure out why that's right things could be worse all right A little scuffle is better than you know But that's what we don't know what the scuffle was But what if the guy who he got in the scuffle with was trying to get at him though like trying to see what's up

I don't know anything yet You're like, I like, I like, I like, I like, none of my nipple studios, what's up? What? You're still into that? Valid. You know what I mean? You just never know.

And he probably like, ah, I'll ask it. And did he not used to not having no setup? Like the camera, the light, the red, the dim light. What about a woman? Like, usually there's a woman in prison, dumb asses. That's what I'm saying. No, but he means. No, but he's using for the setup.

I'm like the most important part of that setup is a woman, not the lights. The most important part of the setup was the man and the camera. I forget it. And the nut. You know why that's true? Because you hired the male prostitute. Yeah. So the most important thing was actually...

Man. That male prostitute that was suing... The male escort that was suing Cassie, the Clay Howard guy that was saying that he... The STDs happened and the pregnancy allegedly... Why is he escorted another prostitute? You pay for poom-pum-pum? I don't know.

Just felt... It's more profession. Yeah, it sounded better than me. Like strippers now say they're night ballerinas. They don't say I'm a stripper. I didn't know that. Yeah, well, I was just going to mention that his lawsuit against Cassie was dismissed even though

he can go back and alter some things and try and refile it but I saw that headline just because y'all were talking about it made me think of it but yeah so there's a brief update there I also saw 50 in Vegas he mentioned Diddy being in confinement as well too the jokes just won't stop let's hear listen of course not you could have been anywhere you picked being here

thank you you could have been in Fort Dix and puffing in the box I don't think that's a joke I think that's the That's some very serious stuff to think about. But I don't want to hear that I'm partying in Vegas. I'm drunk. Actually, I'm at the party.

Depending what environment you come from, that's actually something you do think about. Like, damn, yo. He was walking off the stage. He was saying, thank you everybody. You could have been anywhere in the world. I could have been in the prison. I could have been dead.

Like, some people are there celebrating because that's exactly what they escaped. Yes. Okay. Well, Jay said, if you escape, what I escaped, you're being in Paris. Being the F up to. Yeah.

All right, y'all. Now, shifting gears a bit. And again, once I have a more solid update, I'll bring that back here to you guys. Shout out to entertainment tonight too. I saw them use our coverage of Diddy for their package that they did about the solitary confinement, the whole issue that went down. Shout out the low, low. Yeah, shout to us. All right, y'all.

So shifting gears a bit, this is really sad. So the Chief's Eric B. Enemy, you guys remember him. He is currently the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator. But you guys remember, he sparked a lot of the conversations around black head football coaches and people working with these big football teams not getting jobs when he was. skipped over for a ton of jobs a while back. But his wife is currently in the hospital. She is in stable condition but she was shot by her son

on Sunday by the couple's son. So she's 57 years old. She's currently listed in a stable condition. And sources say that she was shot in her chest in her arm. There's no narrative right now as to what happened. I just know that police responded to a domestic dispute at their home and found

a woman with multiple gunshot wounds. And at the time they weren't releasing her identity, but we now know. I know Andy Reed spoke on this. Let's take a listen. This is, our hearts go out to Eric B. M. and his family. Thoughts and prayers are with them. I can't get into details on it, but things happen sometimes. And Eric will work through it. He's got a great support group here as of his family, as needed.

And then we'll just let time take care of it from there. But Mia is stable, which is a plus, and so is Eric Jr. And that's all important. It's a very sad story, man. That's your child who you love to death, but then that's your wife who you love to death. I know psychologically you got to be going through it because you can't trust your son anymore.

Not at all. Nope. You know, and the wife, that's, you carry this child and now you're traumatized forever by him. You don't want him around you. Not at all. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean,

but a lot of people will forgive and say maybe he had mental problems, whatever the issue will be. I'm sure he did. But you ain't just doing that to your mom, bro. I'm sure he did. Plus he got that low. How do you forgive that? Like, how do you let that go?

You can't. People that got that little. little red patch, I don't never trust them. Oh, okay. And you got that little patchy in your little patch of red hair, I never trust the people like these. Those are the craziest ones in,

and that's the y'all. Not any color, my grandmother used to have the little gray patch back in the day. Because she was old. When she was young, she used to have a little, the little, I ain't talking about that color. I'm talking about that little red one. That one make you look suspicious.

And so this story ain't helping me definitely. It's not been a lot of, about people with that patch. And great pastor, you know what grandma. Grandma might have been crazy growing up. There's some stories, but not as much of this one. But I will say, though, that their son is currently being held without bond for the charges.

He's been charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm, and commission of a felony and discharge of a firearm inside of a dwelling. So there will be more here because this is an active investigation. We'll update you guys as, you know, that comes. I didn't even know Eric Benamy went back to the Kansas City Chief. Yeah, he did. I had the date that he went back. What day?

Did he go back? Yeah, he went back. But yes, so that is the latest for the hour. It's brought to you by Top Dog. Any accident, big or small, called Top Dog Law. Oh, it's a few birthdays. Happy birthday, Glow, Big Glow. Soja Boy, Adrian Brona, and John David Washington.

Yeah, that's crazy. You went late, so we've been to all that. Damn. You know I was coming in, yo, y'all. You know, I was coming in, you. We couldn't wait on you. We got music to play. You was a little late.

So we did it. We played don't. They thought Solja Boy was 40. We played, uh, four. 40. He was like, how old is Foges was like 36, 30, 40? I'm like, how you don't know? So you're like, hour. Did you know Adrian Browner has a twin brother?

Hell no. I didn't know until the hair got cut. Oh, he does. Yeah. Really? They are identical? They are, I think. Yeah, they are, I think for turnover.

Yeah. And I saw and I saw A.B. starting to, like, get back in the shape again. Yeah, he's about to start taking fighting serious again. That's what's up. That's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

Just hilarious. Sholomaine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a salute to David Porter for joining us this morning. Man, go get David Porter's book, The Soul Man, Life of a Songwriter. If you are a songwriter, if you're somebody who wants to be in music business, you need to know the stories of the people that came before you. David Porter was the head writer for Stacks Records, man, wrote so many great records with Isaac Hayes. I'm telling you you would thoroughly enjoy his book. Go get it. All right. Yeah, he's, they sampled his record in Cream, Wu Tang. They sampled his record in Who Shot You? Oh, so many. I think they're simple. We belong together.

I think so, too, Mariah. Anyway, but, yeah, definitely check out that book. It's time to get up out of here. Where are you going to be this weekend? I'm going to be in St. Louis, Missouri, at the Helium Comedy Club. Hey, you're going down, down, baby. You already know, yo. So I'm back in the Midwest last weekend with Chicago.

And then this weekend, I'll be at the Helium Comedy Club. Two shows on Friday. Two shows on Saturday. St. Louis can't wait to get there. So, Jesselaretsofficial.com for the tickets. All right. Well, you got a positive note, Shala? I do, man.

The positive note is simply. this. It takes guts and humility to admit mistakes, okay? Admitting we're wrong is courage, not weakness. Sometimes you got to shut up, swallow your pride and accept that you're wrong. It's not giving up, it's growing up. Have a great day. Breakfast club, bitches.
