It's time for them to go back. It's time for them to go back. It's time for them to go back. I don't think that parents, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:07 I don't know if we appreciate the blessing that is the school system, and teachers that actually care about the kids. But, you know, when you got to go home and, you know, break up fights and, you know, stuff like that in the middle of the day, anybody got time for that. Then you got our girls. Oh, my God. It's even more complicated.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Oh, my. Yeah. I'm kind of lucky because the main culprit has school this week. The four-year-old still has school. She didn't get a spring break. The main-corporate is the-what? She's the main culprit. She's the bully of the house.
Starting point is 00:03:37 My four-year-old is the-old is the first-year-old. And the funny part is my 10-year-old and the seven-year-old had spring break for two weeks, but the four-year-old only had one week, and this is her week. Nah. She's fresh. My four-year-old. No, she's the main culprit. She's still in school.
Starting point is 00:03:51 And thank God because she's the one that starts all the fights. And we just got good weather, so they should be going outside. Just let them outside. Let them run free. Yeah, they'll be fighting outside, though. But anyway, but I'm blessed that they're healthy. That's the all important thing. They're healthy.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I'm breaking the fights all day. If you have kids that enjoy going outside, that is actually a blessing to us. And if you don't have kids, if you have kids that don't like to go outside, that's your fault. Yeah, absolutely. All right, get them off them off them damn tablets, get them from in front of that TV and send their ass outside like they used to do us back of the day. I'm from the country, so I don't know. Yeah, we used to go outside.

Starting point is 00:06:02 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Nvvijer Salarious. Sholomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Mimi Brown.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Good. Hey, y'all, good morning. Mvijez. How y'all doing this morning? Good. Good. Good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:18 So we start this morning with a new executive order from President Trump that could change how mail in voting works. It's already setting up a legal fight. So President Trump, he signed an order that could change how mail-in ballots are sent, how they're tracked, and how they're verified. And states like California are already saying they plan to challenge
Starting point is 00:06:36 this in court. Officials say there are three major parts to this order. Here's Secretary, Howard, Commerce Secretary, Howard Ludnik, explaining one part of the plan. Let's listen. So here's the idea. The states run these elections. They will
Starting point is 00:06:53 if they want to use the U.S. mail, the U.S. Postal Service, they're going to get a code, a barcode from the U.S. Postal Service, and they're going to put that on the envelope, and we will have one envelope per vote. None of this time where we have no idea, there's no observers to mail, there's no envelopes, there's no certainty. That's all going to go away. If you voted by mail, you will have it on the envelope,
Starting point is 00:07:17 obviously not on the ballot, but on the envelope. So we will know a million mail-in ballots. There'll be a million envelopes and you'll be able to know exactly, correctly, that citizens voted. So in simple terms, that just means that mail-in ballots would have special barcode and tracking through the Postal Service to make sure ballots go to the right voter and come back from the right-right voter. Second, the order would require states to send the federal government a list of eligible voters ahead of the election if they want to use the Postal Service to send mail-in ballots. And third, federal agencies like Homeland Security and Immigration Services would work together, and they would create a federal list of U.S. citizens over the age of 18, and melon ballots would be sent only to people whose names are on that list.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Now, states would have only about 90 days to comply, which some state leaders say is not enough time and could disrupt the upcoming midterm elections. Which is the whole point. Yes, supporters say this is about election security. but critics say, you know, the Constitution is very clear. The power to run and regulate elections belongs with the state, not the president, and the president just can't rewrite election laws with an executive order. Yeah, I mean, in simple and simpler terms,
Starting point is 00:08:32 they're doing everything in their power to steal the midterms. Okay, how many different ways are they going to try to steal an election this November, and when are we going to just start saying what it is? They can't afford to lose the midterms because they know that if they do, there will be consequences and repercussions to all the corruption. We have witnessed thus far. Absolutely. legal experts also say this is headed to court and then probably to the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And speaking of the Supreme Court, President Trump is expected to be at the court today for a major case about birthright citizenship. Now, if he attends, he would be the first sitting president to ever attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court. And this case goes back to another executive order that Trump signed trying to end automatic citizenship for babies born in the U.S. We've talked about this before, specifically babies whose parents are not U.S. citizens. or legal residents of the United States. And the lower courts, they already blocked this executive order saying it violates the 14th Amendment, which says if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Here is President Trump explaining more about what he wants to do with this executive order.
Starting point is 00:09:35 If you look at the original birthright citizenship papers, they all happened right after the Civil War. The reason was it had to do with the babies of slaves. country is being scammed. We're getting all of these people. They're selling the rights to them. People are making a big living, getting hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars from bringing people in and saying,
Starting point is 00:10:01 congratulations. Your whole family is going to be a citizen of the United States of America. What reason does he have to be there? Like, why? Like, why does he have to sit on it? This feels like an intimidation tactic or something. That's what I was going to say. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Exactly. Exactly. So now the Supreme Court, they are stepping in and decide whether a president can limit, you know, birthright citizenship or whether it would require a change to the Constitution. So we will continue to watch that. Meanwhile, gas prices. They have now crossed $4 a gallon nationwide. That's up more than a dollar in just a month since the war started. And for a lot of people, especially people who drive for a living, this isn't just frustrating.
Starting point is 00:10:41 This is money coming straight out of their paychecks. Let's listen to some of, you know, just some of the every day. day people. I was saying the gas prices are ridiculous. Playing $4.50 a gallon almost is just out of control. We're not going to be able to take care of our families in a minute. I'm a door dash deliver. I deliver for DoorDash. So I need my car to work to drive people who deliver their food. The majority of the money I make doing that, I have to put it back in my car. That's crazy. Yeah, that's very crazy. And so the president says that he expects gas prices to come back down once the war comes to an end.
Starting point is 00:11:15 And tonight, President Trump will address the nation at 9 p.m. Eastern time where the White House says he will deliver what they're calling an important update on the war in Iran. Yeah, I saw him yesterday. Yesterday he said it's going to last, what, three or four more weeks, which means he has no idea. No clue. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And so he's expected to address all of that tonight on primetime television. And coming up at 7, a new campaign is starting a very big conversation this morning. So where does the line between a compliment start and crossing the line and we'll get into it in the next hour? All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1.

Starting point is 00:14:40 Okay. Okay, guys. too early for us. How do you get turned out? And this is that. When I was, I didn't get turned out, but one of my first relationships era, you know, male experiences was in Virginia. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Okay. Well, I don't, I didn't need to know all that now. Well, you know what? You want to do. You had this, what? Like, what's wrong with you? But I apologize. You are so right.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Now I know you learn something new every day. DMV does not include you. Because look, they will tell you, yes. If you ever went down there saying, you know, oh, I'm in the DMV, they're going to very much correct. going to very much correct. Never in my life. Never in my life would I ever make that mistake and do that. Jesus. But Taylor, worse than me, Taylor thought the DMV was Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Hey, what? A lot of people think that sometimes. Taylor literally was like, it's Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, right? I'm like, no. But Taylor back on drugs, though, she's not breastfeeding. Shut up. I definitely heard of clear fruit.

Starting point is 00:20:20 Talk to me. So last night, I got invited by Meg the Science team to come and see Meg on Broadway. She is playing Zidler on Broadway and Mulan Roo. She is the first woman to play this role, the role of Zidler. and oh my god like I it was going great until abruptly it stopped and Meg the Steyn was no longer a part of the show How long was the show on before it stopped? So okay I so the show started at 7 o'clock I got there around like 720 and they were already on stage at that point Meg had came on stage one time
Starting point is 00:20:53 And then I was seated and Meg came out you know we saw her about maybe like three more times after that And she's actually really good you know sometimes you see celebrities on Broadway or in different you know different arenas and they feel like the celebrity there. No, Meg is actually really good in this play. Imagine if you just saw the first 20 minutes. I was going to say that.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Being late for a Broadway I hate people like you. As much as I like to go to Broadway, I hate people who want to it. It wasn't. It was not on purpose. You were there for the look
Starting point is 00:21:20 and just to see May. That is not true. I got to get up in. First of all the time. I go to Broadway all the time. I do. I love Broadway. Yes, they always start on time.
Starting point is 00:21:29 But it's not my fault that I was late. But that has nothing to do with the story. We're going to stick to the story. So, yeah. So you see her a few times. and then all of a sudden, mind you, the play is like going on, right? There is an announcement that comes over the audio system and the other actors.
Starting point is 00:21:46 And Meg is not on stage at this point. They just stop. They freeze. So the announcement, the first announcement that comes on says, hey guys, we're asking for all of the actors to please clear the stage immediately. And we want everyone in the theater to stay in their seats and please don't take out your phones. And the exactly. So all of us in the audience are like, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:22:04 So what the first thing y'all do? Take out your phones. Absolutely. That would have been the first thing I did. First, I thought it was a part of the play. And then when I realized it wasn't, I was scared. I'm like, is something happening? Because it felt like a lockdown a little bit. So I got up, first thing I did, I got up,
Starting point is 00:22:16 and there was a security guard at the back of the theater. And I went and talked to her, and I'm like, what's going on right now? Like, are we okay? Are we safe? And she was like, yes, you're safe for now. And I'm like, for now. Like, what does that mean? And she was like, let's not. But people get up when you were the only one get up?
Starting point is 00:22:31 No, people did get up. Nobody left at that point because we were all. confused. We didn't know what was happening. So we're trying to make sure we were okay. Um, so I'm like for now, like what is happening? She was like, we just want everybody stay in the theater. We're trying to keep everyone in here. And I'm like, okay, something's going on. So I text to you guys. I also hit Meg's team and I'm like, what's happening right now? Please let me know if something's going on because I want to get out of here. Um, so then they start back up the show. Um, but before they start back up the show, they have an announcement
Starting point is 00:23:00 that comes on that says that Meg the Staling will no longer be in the play for the rest of that night. Let's take a listen. The new orchestra is being conducted by Andrew Graham. Please contact your point of purchase for a refund or exchange. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the show. So that's all I could get because it happened so abruptly. But they basically announced the understudy that was going to come on and play Zidler. But the beginning of that announcement said Meg the Stahlion will no longer continue tonight.
Starting point is 00:23:26 As Zidler, it will now be played by. And then that audio picks up where they announce Andrew Graham. And then the end of the audio where you hear the woman say, we love you, people started saying, We love you, Meg the Stagian. People were upset. They're like, we came here to see Meg. Y'all need to figure this out. There were some people who left,
Starting point is 00:23:40 but majority of the audience did stay. Now, at this point, I'm still confused. They're still the first act of the play? Yes. Okay, this is only like 7.40, right? The play started at 7 o'clock. Yeah. So I'm like, for it to be this early,
Starting point is 00:23:53 something's happening. The first act is usually an hour, hour, 10 minutes. I know the runtime is like 2 hours, 35, within admission, like 20 minutes. So probably like an hour, 10 minutes first time. So once they picked back up, we had about like maybe 20 minutes
Starting point is 00:24:03 and then it was interming. mission. But in the midst of that, Rock Nation and Meg's team called back and they, you know, let me know that she had felt that she was sick and that she had been taken to the hospital. And, you know, I released that statement last night. And I did see that Meg Desalions hair stylist, you know, just asked people to pray for Meg and that they were all at the hospital. So I don't know what's going on further from that point. But it was just like,
Starting point is 00:24:28 it was so random. To stop like that and be like, and don't pull your phones out or, you know, like, what? And then you went to the security garden he was like you're safer now my mind would have immediately went to leave the world behind well the only reason why I didn't leave at that point is because if something was happening outside I don't know what I was walking into she wanted the story she was like I'm gonna get this story no no even got remember that movie lead the world behind on Netflix that's exactly how come experience Bruno Mars live in Toronto yes I'm back again I-Hard radio wants to send you and a friend with flights from

Starting point is 00:28:39 Even before the story, I was like, I just wanted to know, okay, like, if we go out, what are we walking into? Because I didn't know what's happening. And then I was like, okay, this is happening. Why would you walk out though? They told you you sit your stupid ass down. I didn't know what was going on.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I was trying to figure out. But that's why, because they told us to stay inside. I'm like, okay, what's happening? I think he was playing with you, though, because for real, if it was just Megan being sick, it's, you're safe for now. Like, don't play with me like that. I don't know if the first guard that I talked to,
Starting point is 00:29:10 I don't know if they knew what was going on. because when I reached out to her team, her team said to me, oh yeah, that's just intermission. I said, I come to Broadway all the time. This is not intermission.
Starting point is 00:29:19 And then they were like, okay, let me figure it out. And then that's when I think the communication started between her team and the, you know, people on Broadway or whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:27 So I think they were all trying, everybody was trying to figure out what was going on in real time. If there was a medical emergency, right, and they had to rush her out for whatever reason, they would definitely tell everybody to stay
Starting point is 00:29:36 because they wouldn't want people to leave where the ambulance or, you know, emergency person don't have to get it. inside so that could possibly be it too but I just did we get anything to see what happened with them? I've tried
Starting point is 00:29:47 I'm like you trip me home I believe that Lauren put some sauce on it you know she exaggerates but listen let's send Megan is dying some healing in absolutely I hope she's okay Megan is dying and hit some healing energy I hope that she's well I definitely think Lauren probably put sauce on this stuff no I'm not
Starting point is 00:30:03 working with Lauren long enough to know that she doesn't exaggerate and you can be talking to her and then she'll add something on and you like I didn't say that so I I don't believe just for now I wish I was able to record more stuff. I wish I was able to record more stuff. And I don't know why when they told me that
Starting point is 00:30:19 I text you and envy. Like what y'all was going to do? I don't know. Security God's always we're safe for now. I was at the Barclays DJ. I don't know what you were doing. Right. I was like, come here out. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I'm sure there will be some updates here. Whatever is happening when she gets ready to talk about what happened, if she even does. Well, how did the understudy do? You know, Andrew, so-and-so. He was amazing. I forget his last name from the audio, but he was amazing yes the whole oh my god the show itself is just
Starting point is 00:30:44 really really good but um what i was most surprised by was how new the soundtrack was i thought that they were going to pull i thought it was going to be very timely and the music was going to be very timely but they used so much new music like brittany spears toxic uh what's love got to do with it so when did they keep megan's music in did brian noam come out dressed as a woman and um dance to making good music no i mean i'm making good brian no what's her making the stagin no they didn't If Meg's music is a part of it, they did not keep that in. No, they stuck to whatever else they had.
Starting point is 00:31:16 And this was the, what show that she performed? This wasn't the first show. No, her first week was last week. This is her second week of Broadway, and she's there for a total of eight weeks. So she'll be there through May 17th at the Al Hirchfeld Theatre in New York, and it is an amazing show.
Starting point is 00:31:30 And she actually is really, really good. I don't know if she's preparing for herself to get into acting. I know sometimes celebrities do that when they do Broadway. Whatever she's preparing herself for, it's a good look because she does play acting already though
Starting point is 00:31:42 maybe on incredible Hulk I mean she was on she Hulk she was on uh she was in that movie Dix yeah but a lot of time a lot of times when people come on Broadway they do it because they want to be taking more serious for something
Starting point is 00:31:54 and I don't know what that something is but she's she's doing very well all right well that is the latest with Lauren absolutely thank you Lauren you're welcome all right when we come back we got front page news so don't go anywhere as the breakfast club good morning morning everybody is DJ NV
Starting point is 00:32:08 just hilarious Shalomaine the guy We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, y'all. How are you, Mimi? Bless Black and Holly favorite. How are you, Mimi?
Starting point is 00:32:18 I'm good. Thank you. So this morning, we start this hour with a new campaign in New York City that's targeting something. A lot of women say they deal with. So, Jess, I have a question for you. You ever been walking down the street?
Starting point is 00:32:30 Somebody yells, hey, sexy, hey baby. Girl, all the time. Girl, yes. What about it? Jess was probably the one doing it back in the day. Shut up. Definitely was sometimes. But yeah, what's up?
Starting point is 00:32:41 So now New York City is actually launching a new ad campaign telling people to stop doing that. So that's called cat calling, right? So the city is putting out ads all over subways, sidewalks, fairies, even construction sites, basically places where cat calling complaints happen the most. The message is simple, unwanted attention isn't a compliment, it is harassment. So according to a new study, about 74% of New Yorkers say they have experienced this verbal street harassment and more than half say it's gone further like being followed,
Starting point is 00:33:13 filmed, or touched without permission. But this morning, the city says that you are not allowed to cat call. Now is it those young guys, them influences, you know, them streamers that walk up and do all that dumbish, you know what I'm saying? Like they'll be trying to prank. This is regular people. It's like
Starting point is 00:33:28 regular people. Construction sites. It's just regular men screaming at women. The problem is I've seen seen cat call at work. Right. I've seen somebody say Hey, oh, Shaw Day. As long as somebody could I've seen it work before. Right. And I think it depends on the guy looks. I think that women don't like being catcalled by ugly people. If the guy looks attractive and says something and they look up and they'd be like, hmm.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Right. Well, you don't got to answer to it. I mean, I don't understand how it becomes harassing. You don't got an answer to it. I see somebody whistle and somebody turn around, smiling a guy. Like, I've seen it work. But all the things are different when you catcalling and just being trying to get somebody's attention, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Cat calling is, I guess, yelling something like, damn, show you with the big ass. You know, you had nice lips of it. But if I'm just like, yo, excuse me, miss, can I speak to you for someone? That's not cat calling them, but if it's like, hey, sexy or you whistle. Hey, baby. You know, hey baby. Right. I don't really think nothing is wrong with that.
Starting point is 00:34:15 If you're not touching a person and then you don't got an answer to that all the time. But, I mean, I don't see how it is seen as harassment. Calling a man bald or sexual harassment in the UK to you? Oh, my gosh, for real? Did you know that? Yes. In the UK? In the UK, yes.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Oh, my gosh. Might be an American now, but I know in the UK a few years ago, you call a man ball. It was considered sexual harassment. Yo, shut up. Sexual harassment is wild. Okay. Well, the city, they are spending about $2,000. $50,000 on this campaign.
Starting point is 00:34:40 So they're taking it really seriously. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Official said the goal is to make somewhere else. That is so crazy, $250,000 on some cat calling campaign. He said the goal is the what maybe? I'm sorry. The goal is to make people think twice before yelling something at someone you don't know, according to the, you know, city of New York.
Starting point is 00:35:00 You know what that means. Somebody lawmaker got hollered at. Somebody lawmaker's girl got hollered at. That's what that is. What? When I'm gay guys asked, Patty. When I'm gay guys cat called you, how did you feel? I felt good.
Starting point is 00:35:11 It don't bother them at all. When they say one time you was walking past, it was like, oh, Charlemagne, don't you walk past me with that fat ass and I'm saying? It went right over there, too. Excuse me, I'm a freaking lady. Don't talk to me like that. Tell me more. Tell me more.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I think that money is honestly, like you provoke in New York. New Yorkers like, no, they're going to do it even more. So that is bad story. And now to our next story. So this is a story that a lot of people can relate to because most of us, we've taken our car to get repairs and just assumed it would be safe, right? Well, a woman in Memphis, Tennessee, her name is Kimberly Porter. She says that wasn't the case. She said she had a car towed to Mercedes dealership after breaking down on the interstate.
Starting point is 00:35:55 And she left it there for repairs. It was there for about a month. Then one night, she got a GPS alert on her phone showing that her car was moving and it was leaving the dealership. So at first she thought maybe they were just working. on it, it was moving, but the alerts kept coming, and the car kept getting further away. Let's listen to Ms. Porter. So I have an app with my GPS, and it notifies me every time my car moves. But I honestly thought something wrong with my GPS, because maybe it's malfunctioning.
Starting point is 00:36:23 But when it pinged at 10 and 12 a.m., no, something wrong. I'm thinking somebody stole my car from Mercedes. Well, no one stole her car from Mercedes. She tracked her car's location, and she found it at the Memphis area sports bar. officers say an employee who was intoxicated when they found him had her key fob in his possession. He was arrested and charged with theft of property. The story, though, it does not in there. Porter said the next day, the dealership called her and told her to return the loaner car that they had given her and pick up her own car.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Or they would report her loaner car as stolen. And she said that the dealership asked her to drop the charges against the employee, calling him a good kid. and that he was on a date night with a friend and he met no harm and he was actually just test driving the car to diagnose the problems. The reporter says that she has now filed a civil lawsuit against both the employee and the dealership. Yeah, that's somebody's son. Yeah, that's somebody said. Yeah, that's exactly what that sounds like. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I'm surprised that Mercedes-Benz responded like that, though, but that's clown-dout. Y'all be surprised how many of them, the people that work at them call dealerships do that, though. That goes down. They'd be doing that all the time. I know. Come on. Well, yes. And if you don't have a tracker on your car, I guess you will never find out.
Starting point is 00:37:42 You will never know. And then if they crash and they can just fix it real quick. You know what I'm saying? Well, that was her main argument, too, though. She was like if you would have hit something or somebody, that would have been on me, you know, and I would have never known. So, yeah. And lastly, today is April Fool's Day.
Starting point is 00:37:58 And relationship experts, they warn that some pranks, they can do real damage, especially when pranks involve fear, trust, or big life news. So a psychologist say if a prank makes someone feel embarrassed, betrayed, or scared, the brain doesn't process it as a joke. It processes it as a real emotional event, and it can actually damage trust in a relationship. So that's why experts say any pranks involving cheating, pregnancy, losing a job or money, they are almost always likely to go wrong because those are real life-changing situation.
Starting point is 00:38:31 So even if you yell April Fool's, The emotional damage is already done. It's already happened. And every year, social media is full of people doing those fake pregnancy pranks or fake cheating pranks. And every year, you see videos where the other person is not laughing. Well, I mean, what happened to it? Back in the day, it was so fun. I mean, like, what happened to people?
Starting point is 00:38:50 Like, you know. It's still fun. I don't care about that. God damn. I don't care about that statistic. I don't even believe that people truly operate like that. Once you know something as a joke, you chalk it up as a joke now, the trauma. is this person plays too much.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Yeah. Like, so in your mind, you're always like, I know this person like to play. Like right now there's somebody that woke up and they are prepared because they know the person in their life that is going to try to get them. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:18 That could be a source of trauma, but you're not traumatized by the actual joke that they pretended to be pregnant or, you know, just pretended to cheat or something like that. Unless y'all trying to have a baby, unless it's some wildish, like y'all trying to have a baby or you want to get married and somebody proposed, People in their right mind not about to do that,
Starting point is 00:39:34 especially with the baby thing. Come on. Like, that's just cool. Right. Yes, yes. I think that's the point, NB2. And the study was asking which prank is worse, the cheating prank or the pregnancy prank, you know, which one plays with your trust the most.
Starting point is 00:39:49 So that was the question. Jokes, so both of them is fun. Both of them are fun. The reactions be funny as how. They do be funny. They definitely are funny. All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Follow me at Mimi Brown. and for more stories follow the Black Information Network. Thank you, Mimi. What did y'all used to say in Alaska like for April Fool's like, y'all, all the snowmelted, like, what was it?
Starting point is 00:40:11 The summer? No. That was what you would. Right, because in April, there's still a lot of snow, so there was just in the best that wouldn't even work. Yeah, still like December and April
Starting point is 00:40:20 in Alaska. Damn. All right. Well, thank you, all. When we come back, we have actor and comedian John Legizamo.
Starting point is 00:40:30 John Le Guzamo. John Le Guzamo. A Latino dishingo. John Leguizamo. We have John Leguizamo joining us when we come back, so don't move with the breakfast level morning. Morning everybody is DJ NV, just hilarious. Sholomein de Guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRose is here with us as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. John Leguizamo. How are you doing? Did I say your name? Leguizamo. Leguizamo. Yeah, that's not how I pronounce. That's not how you're supposed to say it. How you're supposed to say it? Legisamo.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Okay. But you know, when teachers would get to that, my name and they go Lecubano, Le Gizma, like, Greece. I was like, you know, I'm just do it phonetically and shut them up. Okay. I was going to be laughing at me. I was like that with my first name. My first name is Leonard, but the teachers would always say Leonard. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:12 And so I would get tired of correcting them. So I was just like, man, just call me my middle name, which is Larry's Larry. Larry, that would just stop the nonsense. Your first day of school, everybody starts laughing at you is not the way you want to start the year. You know what I'm right. How are you? I'm great. I'm great to be here.
Starting point is 00:41:27 This is exciting to be here, man. Man, happy to have you. That's right. And you're on Netflix now? God, that. Yes. It's a big deal. Yes.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Chiching. How much? How much? How much? Come on. You tell us how much you made for dead nanny. No. Dick Natives.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Because I don't like to brag, man. I don't like to brag. It's not cool. It's not cool to brag, you know. No, I mean, Disney pays well. It pays well. I'm not going to lie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Apple, Disney. Netflix doesn't pay well for actors anymore. I don't know about your show is a totally different thing. Licensing is, we do a... Licenses is different, right? I like that way he just threw it Yeah Let's talk about
Starting point is 00:42:09 Dear Killet Nannies Yeah It premieres on the first Yeah, yes And it's about Pablo Escobar But in a different light Absolutely
Starting point is 00:42:15 Because you know Everybody's done Pablo Yes Correct You know And I guess You know
Starting point is 00:42:20 Like white actors have to do Like Hamlet And they all do it Yeah right Latin actors all have to do Pablo Escobar Right To show who's the best
Starting point is 00:42:27 Because Javier Badem did it Ben did it Wagnam who just got nominated for an Oscar did it. So now it's my turn to do it. So everybody did good. Some didn't get the accent quite right.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Right. A couple of them. I'm not going to name who. And some didn't get the gestures, the behavior. So I tried to do it all, man. I studied my ass off. I watched every tape, every recording he ever had. I read everything about him.
Starting point is 00:42:51 I talked to his son. Gave me a lot of tips about how to play him. Nice. And things had happened because the son was a consultant on this one for the first time ever. Wow. So we're seeing the... inside of what happened and what was said at home. And that's what's exciting about this show.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Because you didn't know what was going on. Like the kind of fear that they lived under. Even though he was, I guess, the wealthiest gangster that ever lived, he was worth $30 billion when he died. I guess that's $70 billion in today's $2026 money. So he's the wealthiest. But he still had to move homes, sometimes stay away from the family,
Starting point is 00:43:28 so he could be like a decoy away from them. The son tried to go to school, but the DA was after them, assassination attempts. The kids were afraid of him. So he had to be schooled at home by these trained assassin nannies, and they became his friends, his family. And, you know, you can't totally trust them because they're not really family. And some of them became informants, so Pablo had to off some of them. And then that was confusing to the son.
Starting point is 00:43:56 That his dad was taking out some of the nannies that he loved. And so that's all in the series. It's really wild. It's not about the drug part of it. It's more about the son growing up and how his father was a father. Exactly. Trying to be a father, you know.
Starting point is 00:44:09 And, you know, back then it was a tough love, kind of love. But Pablo was the first guy in Colombia, maybe in all of Latin America in the 80s because it was a tough love kind of. You raise your son like being tough. You want to make him prepare for the world. He would say, I love you, kiss him,
Starting point is 00:44:24 hug him in public, at home everywhere. And Colombian dad's weren't doing that. Obviously, Pablo knew that he might die, so that's why he was more. affectionate. But he, but, you know, because I hug and kiss my son and say, I love you. But that's not how my dad treated me.
Starting point is 00:44:37 You know, my dad was like, every day I see you, you get more stupider than the last day. That was how my dad, you know, there was you back then. Did playing him in this series humanize him for you? I would, we were trying not to humanize him and normalize him. You know,
Starting point is 00:44:53 we do show all the killings and the assassinations that he did. But, but we do show. the parent side. That was complicated because the son did call him out a lot of times. You know, he's, you know, what kind of life are we living? You're killing the nannies. You're killing some of my friends.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Are you going to kill my mom if she says the wrong thing to you? So the son does call him out in the show, which is, that's the only part that you might feel kind of humanizing him a little bit. I always wonder why was he so willing to just kill people and let people know that he was killing him? you would think that that would be something he would keep to himself. Well, I mean, because he was, he was, he owned Colombia. You know, he owned the whole country. He owned the government. He was bribing everybody.
Starting point is 00:45:41 His thing was plata or plomo. So either you take the bribe or you get a bullet. So that was your choice that he put to everybody. And he took a whole, you know, he bombed a lot of journalists. He bombed a lot of politicians. He controlled a country, basically. He told him that he would pay their debt if they let him take off. completely. Were you nervous
Starting point is 00:46:01 or scared playing this part at all? You know, it's been years now. No, now I'm not scared anymore. I was just like what you mean anymore? Were you scared? You know, back in the day you couldn't do that because, you know, who knows somebody might come after you? But now I mean, it's years later, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:17 What drew you through to the role initially? To show up everybody that I could do it better than everybody else had done. And I think I did a crazy good job, man. There's one actor that might have beat me. the Colombian actor who did a TV series about Pablo. He looked just exactly like him. His accent was perfection, the gestures.
Starting point is 00:46:37 I'm second, I think. But you judge for yourself. What is a role like this demand from you emotionally, that other roles did? Well, this one, you know, it was a lot of research that more than other roles where I could be myself or tap different parts of myself. Here I had to, like, reach to the level
Starting point is 00:46:56 that you could play a Paulo Escobar tape next to me. me and me and see that there's not that much difference you know that that's what I was after yeah I saw that um his son told the LA Times that doing a movie like this is like his way to tell the truth and to kind of push back against the way that other movies has made the violence a spectacle
Starting point is 00:47:13 but how do you not make it a spectacle because he's so notorious and like you got to include all of that stuff so like in the writing how did they try and figure that out yeah yeah because we did we did still show all his violence you know all the assassination attempts that he put on people and and and uh And the kind of life of paranoia that he lived.
Starting point is 00:47:32 We kept that. But I think the difference in this is that you see what the family life was, like at home with the wife and with the kids and how he was trying to be a loving dad, but his morality said the opposite message. You know, he just couldn't help it. I mean, we all mess up his parents, but our kids are going to hate us for something. But, I mean, he had extra, you know, he had all that having to move the kids from place to place, having to stay away from them so that he wouldn't bring violence to the house.
Starting point is 00:48:02 And eventually, you know, that kind of lifestyle always ends the way it always ends, you know. He got shot up. When you were talking to the sun, right, and I imagine the son had to relive all this and go down memory lane a lot. Was it ever emotional for him, do you think? Yeah, he got emotional, you know, because he did love his dad. You know, I guess he had a lot of words and some beef towards the end. But I guess you have to make up for that after your dad passes. You know, he changed his whole life.
Starting point is 00:48:28 He moved to Argentina, changed his name, became a psychologist. I guess you would have to become a psychologist after that kind of lifestyle. And he goes around the world doing speeches about, you know, giving good, putting out good. That's amazing. So that's how he escaped the sins of the father. But even though he's done all of that, is there like traumas that he still deals with daily even all these years later? You know, he definitely has to deal with, I mean, the way they grew up. and all that money that he didn't get
Starting point is 00:49:00 because, you know, a lot of it was disappeared. It was never really discovered where a lot of that money went, but I think a lot of people robbed it and took it. Especially law enforcement, I'm sure. Oh, of course. They got a huge chunk of that. And all his other comrades must have taken a piece. I wanted to know, you know, for Colombians,
Starting point is 00:49:22 how did they view Pablo? Because, you know, did they love him? Or was it just a fear? thing or they hate him. They hate him. I mean, I think mostly the journalists and people who who are law-abiding citizens hate him. But, you know, the people in the town, they love them because he did all the right things, you know, and he was
Starting point is 00:49:40 representing them because, you know, Latin America, you know, it's 10% of the people run everything and everybody else who lives in poverty, you know. So he was building stadiums, churches, you know, helping out, building schools. He did all the right things to make people love him. And he represented sort of the little man, the ordinary guy, the underdog, making it, making it big, busting out of this sort of world where if you're born into money, you get the education,
Starting point is 00:50:05 you get the best jobs, you know. And also, like, the more white-looking you are in Latin America, the more successful you are. And if you're more indigenous or Afro-Latino, it's a much tougher life. You know, all that colonists, colonialism, and conquest doesn't go away that easy, you know? How do you pivot between comedy, You know, doing dramas like this. Because I'm an amazing actor. Stuff like in Canto.
Starting point is 00:50:30 You know what I mean? Like, how do you pivot between all of that stuff? Because I'm an amazing actor, that's why. How can you do that? Yeah, you know, I love what I do, man. I love animated voices, like Enkanto and Kittah Sloth. I love doing that. Plus, you know, the check is really nice, too.
Starting point is 00:50:46 That's another Disney check, by the way. Two Disney checks. Mm-hmm. You should license to Disney. Disney ain't no joke. I feel like I know Bruno. Like, we don't talk about Bruno. But is it as effortless as you make it look?
Starting point is 00:51:00 Yeah, pretty much. You know, I do the voices easily. But the problem was a harder one because, you know, English is my dominant language. So even though Spanish is my mother tongue, to get that right, I had to work really hard because I had a lot of pressure. I didn't want Colombians to be embarrassed by me that I messed up. You know, I messed up with that representation. I didn't want to do that. But, you know, you're just a great actor, period.
Starting point is 00:51:24 It's not a great Latino actor, right? Oh, thank you, bro. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. Why do you think the industry still moves so slow when it comes to, I guess, just inclusion for Latino actors? Yeah, well, you know, obviously this administration doesn't make it easier, you know, deeming us DEI, you know, like we got the jobs because of our skin color, our ethnicity.
Starting point is 00:51:45 No, we got here because of our greater talent because to be a black or Latin talent, you have to be 10 times better than a white talent to get that job. That's right. Less talent. You have to have more talent. And then you're still not selected for everything. I, at Hollywood, you know, back in the day, they would be straight up. They would tell you to my face, you know. They would, you know, some producer came to me with doing spawn and he said to me, you know, too bad you're Puerto Rican. Because if you weren't Puerto Rican, you'd be such a big movie star. But that was the reality of things. You know, and then executives, when you pitch them a story, they will go, you know, that's really good and everything. But, you know, we don't have to do Latin content because Latin, people go to the movies no matter what they see
Starting point is 00:52:26 they'd rather see white people and I would go what you know they would tell you that to your face now they don't tell you anything they just you don't hear anything right you don't hear it it's silent radio now Spahn you absolutely killed that I was one of my favorite oh thank you thank you yeah but when they told you that what was going through your mind like what
Starting point is 00:52:43 did that crush you in any way discourage you in any way at that point no that was a fact that was a fact I mean that back then in the in those days you know there was this thing called the Ross report that would come out on Mondays. I'm talking about the 80s, ancient history. The Rush Report come out Monday and tell you every movie that was available,
Starting point is 00:53:02 every role that was available. And there was a little Jim Crow or Juan Crow, because that's what they called it for people. That was a real name. Juan Crow was what they called it for land people in the Southwest, because there was Jim Crow laws against us as well. We weren't allowed to go to churches, parks,
Starting point is 00:53:22 movies. You know, you couldn't even. with white people or go in the pool when white people went back in those days in the 1800s and before that. So this Russell report would come out and would say white lead, white doctor, white lawyer, white love interest, white this, and then every five months I get like a Latin drug dealer. And I would ask my agent, can I go up for these other roles? Let me just do my monologue.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Let me just read for them. They'll see. They won't even see you. They wouldn't see you that. So that's the way it was. No matter how talented you were or how you studied or whatever, you were never going to get the same opportunity. as a white actor.
Starting point is 00:53:55 It feels like even now, like Hollywood celebrates Latino culture, but still doesn't trust Latinos to, like, lead major projects. Right, right. I mean, we're 20% of the population. We over-indexed at 30% of the box office. Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:10 For bad boys, we're 40% of the box office. And until we get 20% of executives, then things are going to change. But until we have Latin executives, things aren't going to change that much. I don't know why the white people fight me, though? The country's getting more browner. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Just embrace it. I know. It makes everything better. Why you so, what are you holding? I mean, it's so crazy. It makes no sense. We all could get along, can have a great time. It's going to flip anyway.
Starting point is 00:54:38 White people are only 58.2% of the population. They're almost just nearly half. But they're still getting 90% of the roles, 90% of the executives, 90% of everything. You think it's our fault sometimes because we don't show up with the green like we should? Meaning like when there's a project You know led by a brown person People should make sure they show up Like when it's a project led by a black person
Starting point is 00:55:01 Like you should make sure they show up Because everybody cares about money Yeah yeah But you know Black and Latin people do show up When the content is right You know I mean the content has to be right But sometimes a lot of Latin content
Starting point is 00:55:14 Is not written by Latin people Or directed by Latin person So you have all this culture appropriation That makes things look weak and soft And doesn't represent correctly and people can smell that out, you know? But look, Fluffy, the comedian, he sells out Dodger Stadium. There's no comedian in America that can sell out Dodger Stadium.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Bad Bunny sold out Yankee Stadium twice. Mark Andy sells out the match. Latin people show up for the content that's genuine. That's theirs. I mean, George Lopez and I, when we do the rice and bean circuits across America, you're selling out in all these major cities. You sell out and I used to make all my bank there. You got to tell me what a rice and bee circuit is.
Starting point is 00:55:57 What is the rising B. 26 big cities. You got Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Chicago, also California. You know, you got San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco. You got Denver, Colorado. you got Phoenix, Arizona. Then in Texas, it's Austin, Houston,
Starting point is 00:56:25 Dallas, McCallin, Corpus Christi, San Antonio. Where else? I forget someone else. Las Vegas. I don't think he said Miami. Yeah, did he said Miami. That's all you need. That's all you need, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:40 And the Rice and Bain show consists of, like, y'all just doing comedy on your culture. Yeah, you're doing your comedy. Yeah, yeah, you comedy, all these comedy circuits, and you go to these venues and boom, you sell out and you stay as long as you keep selling out and then you move to the next town. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:53 You had a strong message for ICE and the follows of ICE that you didn't want to match a show. I want to read it because it says, if you follow ICE, don't come to my shows, don't watch my movies. Yeah. Why was that important me? I'm following me. Why was that so important for you?
Starting point is 00:57:07 It was important to me because the way I see Latin bodies being treated, you know, moms, grandmothers, children, pregnant women. I mean, why are you arresting children? I mean, how do you do that? How can you wrap your mind around that? It's so inhuman and cruel. And the way they're treating people, you see that.
Starting point is 00:57:25 So, yeah, I can't be for these kind of like domestic terrorists going around covering their faces, not giving badges, not reading you your rights, not treating people with respect. That's not what they set out to do. What didn't they set out to grab criminals? These aren't criminals. Obviously, they're just innocent people. I mean, they're not reading them their rights and not treating them with due process. That's not America.
Starting point is 00:57:50 That's not the America that I believe in. Have you seen them at the airport? Yeah, I saw them at the airport. I don't think that the one, I think the ones at the airport are not the same ones they're in the street. Right. I think it's a totally different bunch of people
Starting point is 00:58:02 because they're so nice and they're so helpful. And Trump said that it was image rehab for them. Oh, that's absolutely what it looks like. What I think he wants to do is, you know, you go to the airport and you realize, oh, they're so nice. And so when he says, and we're going to have them with the voting booths during the midterms,
Starting point is 00:58:20 you're not going to think nothing of it. Right, right. You know? His private military. That's right. Send him wherever he wants. That's right. Yeah, I mean, that's what it looked like.
Starting point is 00:58:29 The optics to me was the other day I was in the airport. It was like, oh, you're trying to normalize these guys and make them look like they're okay. Because they're not wearing the masks. They're not grabbing anybody. They're just standing around. Yeah. Have you got backlash at all for that statement?
Starting point is 00:58:41 I pulled over. F-Wid at all? Not yet, but I'm taking lots of precautions. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, my family's afraid, you know. When you speak out, there are consequences. Of course. So, yeah, yeah, I take much more precautions than I used to, you know.
Starting point is 00:58:54 I make sure my phone's on lockdown mode and whatnot. Did they see you at airport? How do they treat you at airport? They looked at me, I bawled me and I bawled them back. Yeah. I wasn't friendly and I'm not going to be friendly to people who are treating my people the way they are. Absolutely. And the problem is the majority of these ice guys are Latino and black.
Starting point is 00:59:13 That's problematic for me. That the hell out of it. I mean, how do you deal with that? I mean, the majority of people, I know they're going for a check, most of them. But still, how do you treat these? Your people. Yeah, how do you treat your own people that way?
Starting point is 00:59:28 I'm telling you, the ones in the airport are not the same ones that are on the street. I truly believe. But now, but when the midterms come, the ones that's going to be in the voting booths are the ones that were on the street. Yeah, right, right, right. I don't know that thuggery.
Starting point is 00:59:39 I wanted to go back a little bit, if you didn't mind. How did you get into acting, right? Growing up in New York City, You would see your name all over the place, right? Whether it's Carolines or you're performing here. And I knew you at first as a comedian, of course, and then you got into acting. What got you into comedy and how did you transition into me? Well, I was a class clown and a troublemaker and a troubled teen and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:59 And the school made me go to therapy because it wouldn't let me back. But I was a class clown, you know, I had Bertram. And it was a competitive school for class clowns, man. You couldn't sit at the table. Yeah, you couldn't sit at this one lunchroom table unless you crack the best job. the day before. Damn. So I used to write my jokes the day before and all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:18 And this was at what age? This, me? Yeah, 16, 17. Yeah, you know, and Damon Wayans went there and Q-Tip and Jungle Brothers. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. Y'all all knew each other? I knew Damon.
Starting point is 01:00:31 I didn't know Q-Tip. Q-Tip was like two years younger than me. Damon was always funny? He, I don't know about funny. He was, he was an odd man. He was a handsome dude, but he was just always to himself, always kind of smiling and had jokes in his his head. I just didn't hear them out loud. Gotcha.

Starting point is 01:06:40 I've seen you, you're tearing at the Super Bowl, tears of joy. Oh, yeah, man. Why did that performance mean so much to you? Because there's been other Latin people that performed at the Super Bowl. Why was that one so emotional for you? Oh, dude, I think because of the situation that we're living through, you know, to see Bad Bunny there in Spanish.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Because you know, there's Pacificianosian tried to sing in Spanish back in the 60s, and they arrested him after in Yankee Stadium. And then some Mexican kid wore a marriagei outfit and tried to sing the American Star Spangled Banner, and they mistreated him and threw things. So for him to speak Spanish at Super Bowl was such a powerful. statement and such a brave statement that it was moving, man. To see all these Latin kids performing on that stage, being their authentic selves. And I knew all the signals that he was sending. The old Puerto Rican flag that was banned, the electric plants that, you know, that FEMA's money was robbed in Puerto Rico so they didn't have proper electricity. I saw all the little Easter eggs that he planted, the little boy and the real marriage. It was all just so

Starting point is 01:08:35 John Leguizamo John Leguizamo why you didn't say his name I was about to him I was scared I had to write it out right there so I said Leguizamo I know I was saying
Starting point is 01:08:47 I practiced this. Hello. Mr. Breakfast Club, good morning. Let's get to the latest winery. Yeah. You're talking, L.L. Cube. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down.
Starting point is 01:08:59 I'm being myself. That source is much. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Good. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that. Take me through that. Where is she gone?
Starting point is 01:09:12 The latest with Marlore a loss. Take me through that. On the breakfast club. L.L. Cool. Talk to me Oh, I can't hear myself. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Okay, so Brandy's new book, Phases, her memoir has dropped. And now she's telling her side of the story about a lot of different things. One of the things that she's talking about in the book that has actually become a huge topic of conversation is her relationship with Wai Amores of Boys to Men.
Starting point is 01:09:38 And for the first time, she's telling her side. Now, I have some audio from the audiobook, and then I have some written parts as well, too. So she starts it off by talking about the fact that she wants the shame to end here. She says that the shame, the silence ends here. She wants people to know that she's not a fast girl with a crush. She was not a dramatic teenager who couldn't handle rejection. And she was not an unstable obsessed fan.
Starting point is 01:10:03 She says, I was a child and he was an adult. And it is time that the world understands the difference. So let's take a listen to Brandi talking about losing her virginity to Juan Ye. What had begun as admiration had transformed into something else. It seems to me that he weaponized my admiration, shaped my friendship into dependence, my respect into desire. I felt swept up in a current I couldn't control. On the tour bus during long stretches between cities, I'd find myself drifting into daydreams,
Starting point is 01:10:35 tracing the contours of his laugh, wondering how it might feel if his fingers ever interlaced with mine. The unspoken energy between us had intensified. The attraction was subtle yet undeniable. My girlfriend is 16. I don't remember when he first said it, but those four words started rolling off his tongue whenever we were alone.
Starting point is 01:10:54 I couldn't tell if this refrain was meant to soothe his own conscience or temper the questions shimmering in my gaze. Regardless, I was under the impression that we were badly in love, or at least what I believed loved to be at 16. So that was actually the clip where she talks about the beginning of their relationship and when it actually turned into a relationship. So how it begins in the book is that they did the song Broken Hearted together after Boys and Men performed at her birthday party and it kind of progressed from there.
Starting point is 01:11:20 So then she gives some more detail on kind of when it was kind of like made an actual thing to her. Now she does admit in the book she says she was over her head. She was sneaking around with Wai-A and she says that she was lying to her parents about it. And then she goes into talking about losing her virginity and some of the pressures that she felt from being in this relationship. These are a natural part of our youth, rights of passage that should unfold with tenderness and care. Mine unfolded under the influence of a man who seemed to know exactly how to make me question my own beliefs and boundaries. Part of me wanted to retain some semblance of normalcy, but also I knew full well that what was happening between me and him was wrong. And yet my attitude was, this was special.
Starting point is 01:12:09 This was real. People just can't understand. I was young and inexperienced and thought the following my heart meant following his lead. I had wanted to wait until marriage and had shared those beliefs with him. But I also believed that having sex with him would cement our bond, would prove I was mature enough for our relationship, would make him happy. And so I told myself, I was ready that this was my choice. But the truth is, I felt like I had no choice. I felt like saying no meant losing him How old was he? 22 at the time She was 16 at the time That's what she says Right
Starting point is 01:12:50 Well from what I saw She said that he was six She was 16 and he was 20 Or in his 20s I'm sorry So it might have been 22 But I reached out to a rep for Boys of Men yesterday They're five years apart so
Starting point is 01:13:02 Yeah I reached out to a rep for Boys of Men yesterday When people started picking up this part of the book And had her back But Wine Ye was here on the Breakfast Club Some years ago and you guys had talked a bit about this and I saw people pointing to this clip as well too let's take a listen and you had a celebrity relationship were you were you the only one that was ever involved with a celebrity
Starting point is 01:13:18 who's he dating was wangie was bandie brandy brandy even said her behind the music that you broke her heart because you fell in love with somebody else you only fall out of love if somebody makes you fall out of love they were they were saying she was really young when y'all dated yeah she was not not that young not because i don't want y'all to think boys the man was y'all we know she said she was 50 And she had to keep it a secret because she was so young. No, no, see, we did the thing where she was like 16, 17 around that time, you know. So you were still a boy too. You had to, I wasn't old. You wasn't too many yet.
Starting point is 01:13:49 She was old enough to get it. Okay. But what it's legal in the state y'all was in? I mean, we was always in different states. Oh my gosh. No, no, no. It was a relationship. It grew and it un-grew.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Jesus. Well, I don't forgot what any of you ever heard. Yeah. I didn't remember having that conversation. Yeah, oh, you had it. No, it was a combo. You sure that wasn't there? That was real?
Starting point is 01:14:15 No, that's messing with you. I just messed with you. I did not even remember having that. What year was that? What year was that? We were interviewing for 15 years. That was a long time. That was long time.
Starting point is 01:14:26 We got to do this documentary. Our documentary is amazing. Who did it was it? That was a long time ago. Jesus. Well, I want to mention, too, in this book, outside of this. She also talks about things with her and Alia,
Starting point is 01:14:37 how they used to have to, like, team up with each other to make sure that people didn't pin them against each other and she goes to a lot of different things in her book. You can't just move on to that after we used to that. I'm trying to look up
Starting point is 01:14:47 Juan Ye and the day. Damn, y'all, because you know what people are going to go to a lead, then they're going to go to the Arl Kelly and then they go, you know what I'm saying? Oh, Lord. And the stories kind of.
Starting point is 01:14:56 I know Juan Ye was like, how did I get into this? I wasn't even on the podcast with Cam and Mason Shine another day. Why? Why they're bringing me up? Exactly.
Starting point is 01:15:05 That was, I believe it was I don't know the year that he was here. I mean, listen, that's, that's the story. Yeah. It's nothing you can do about it now, except have an honest conversation about it if you want to. It was 2014 when he was here, sorry. 2014.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Yeah, but I just think. There's nothing you can do about it except for have an honest conversation, whether it's, you know, Warnier, Brandy, and just talk about how sadly that's common. I've heard both of y'all talk about how y'all dated older women before, and I've heard a bunch of younger girls talk about how they dated old women before. before so I think we can have a conversation about the time. We had it before and people were like, yeah, when I was looking at this, I'm like
Starting point is 01:15:44 16, 22, like that was me at the age. You know what I was funny? I spoke to Lauren and Ann Lauren was like, that was me. I'm like, that doesn't make it right. Yeah, no, no, no. And we always still say that too. I mean, I know that it wasn't right. But even hearing her book, that literally was me too.
Starting point is 01:16:00 Like, you know what I'm saying? And it was, it was normal to us. We knew it was wrong, but we tried to normalize it to our sense. I don't even think I knew it was wrong. I didn't know it was wrong. I did. You didn't know it was wrong? No, I did not.
Starting point is 01:16:12 You had to know it was wrong because even Brandy talks about sneaking around. And I'm sure y'all didn't tell your parents. I wasn't sneaking around. My mom just didn't ask. Like, I was always okay. So my mom left me alone. But you wouldn't have told her you was dating the 20-something-something-old. I know.
Starting point is 01:16:25 I know that I didn't know it was wrong because I remember when I realized it was wrong. And I'm like, wow, how did I not know that that was wrong? That's crazy. But that's her testimony. Like, no, I knew. I knew what was up. Yeah. And I just, that's what I wanted to do, though.
Starting point is 01:16:38 It's crazy hearing her now and hearing what she felt, why she did the things that she did. She tried to keep them. She thought it would make her look more mature. It's just very sad to hear a young girl having to go through. She also talked to it. I'm sure when she had a daughter, she probably thought to herself. Right. Damn, imagine my daughter at 16 dating a 22 year.
Starting point is 01:16:55 That's what I'm thinking about you. That's what I remember. I know that I knew that I didn't know it was wrong because I remember the moment where I was like, oh, shoot, hold on. Absolutely. My niece. I'm like, oh, I wish somebody. would. And last time, we thought we was doing some back in the day, because I was in school, like, my boyfriend was about to come
Starting point is 01:17:10 pick me up, period. Like, the rest of y'all don't drive whole time. You're a kid, Jess. This is a grown man. I was driving people's cars to school. I know, that's right. You had a permit and you was driving your 20-something. Wasn't even supposed to be driving. Yes. My mom didn't know that, though. I did not tell her that. I would park the car, like, a couple blocks from our house.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Living a life. Living in a life. Faces is out now. There's an audio book version and also the written version. And on the audiobook. And on the written version, too, Brandi gives you like this PDF that credits like different songs that she talks about and just some of the history. So, you know, go with the book. Speaking of books, can somebody bring my my son your whole book back, please? Who moves my damn my damn book back?
Starting point is 01:17:47 And why do it? I don't look at me. I just know where it's at. No, if y'all ain't do the research, y'all have plenty of months to do the research, bring my damn book back, please. Yo, and then Brandi's song, oh, Brooke on her, she said, I'm young, but I'm wise enough to know that you don't fall in love overnight. I don't know what point you are. The lyrics from heart broke here.
Starting point is 01:18:08 But I just wanted it too. I wonder if Brandy had a conversation with Wannier before, like if they spoke. No, because of the effect, they've been in the same industry for the last 20, 30 years. No, no, no, no. I meant if they ever crossed past and she ever said, yo, this is how I felt. I wonder if that conversation never happened. Maybe. I know he spoke about it too.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Yeah, he's talked about it a few times. We just heard him talking about it on the breakfast club in 2014. Wow. It sounds like whatever the conversations were maybe from him or whoever, she wasn't too fond of them. And that's why she's strong. Clarified. She probably decided, you know what?
Starting point is 01:18:38 I heard that interview on the breakfast club in 2014 and I have no problems writing what I need to write in this book. Right, right. Well, donkey today. Who do you give you a donkey to?
Starting point is 01:18:45 Man, four after the hour. We need Christy Noam's husband Brian Nome to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. All right.
Starting point is 01:18:51 We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Ki-ha bitch. He-ha. It's time for Donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:18:59 I'm a big boy. I can take it. If he feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Charlamini diegroom has some funny sweet shit out of this now. This is got to say something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I mean.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Donkey of the day, right here. The Breakfast Club, bitch. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Neither do I. Doggy today.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Donkey of the day for Wednesday, April 1st, goes the former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam's husband, Brian Noem. Okay, if you haven't heard, Brian Nome is a cross-dresser, ladies and gentlemen. Her husband, Brian Nome, likes to wear oversized fake breasts on fetish websites. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to Inside Edition for the report, please. Former Homeland Security Chief Christy Nome is said to be stunned by a report
Starting point is 01:19:49 that her husband may be leading a cross-dressing double life. In a statement, Nome's representative says she is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they asked for privacy and prayers at this. time. The shocking story about Brian Nome was broken by the Daily Mail. The images appear to depict Brian Nome wearing pink hot pants and a skin tight shirt stuffed with large balloons for breasts. We spoke to the Daily Mail's chief investigative reporter Josh Boswell. So he didn't deny his involvement in this and in the photos. You can clearly see it's him. So it'd be pretty tough to deny. It would be tough to deny and he didn't deny it. According to the Daily Mail article,
Starting point is 01:20:31 Brian Nome sent the photos to people who were part of an online fetish community known as bimboification, which celebrates women with very large breasts. He wanted to emulate that. He wanted to dress up like them and put even fake breasts under his shirt. Using balloons it looks like. It looks like balloons under the shirt. You can deny and say it's AI. Okay, this man was on bimbofication with fake breasts on.
Starting point is 01:20:58 He wanted to give you a face full of his own twin engines. He wanted to be smothered by his too warm bags of sand. That's what he wanted you to do. He wanted you to mote a modemotum, okay? What I don't understand is how you go from liking big boobs to wanting some for yourself, okay? What a household the Gnome family is, all right? President Trump, you are really leaving a lot of money on the table,
Starting point is 01:21:20 not being in your reality show bag with this family. Okay, we can call the show Nome Improvement or Nome before dark. Maybe Nome economics. All we can just keep it simple and call it Nome. But between Christy Noam, aka Ice Barbie, having an open affair with one of her age and her husband being a cross-dresser, this is a reality show waiting to happen. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:21:40 For those of us watching on Netflix or seeing this clip on social media somewhere, allow me to hold up today's NY post. Don't you get bricked up over there, envy? Okay, don't you get bricked up over there? On the front of the New York Post is a picture of Brian Nome wearing the oversized fake breasts, and they have the headline, What a boob.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Drop on the clues bombs for the New York Post. Oh, my God, when they want to get you, they get you. Okay, the New York Post calls this a bimbo-bibbification kink. Bimbofacian kink. Now, I listen to Decisions, Decisions with Mandy and Weedy. Drop on the Clues Bonds for Decisions, Decisions, Okay, make sure you subscribe to that podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network. And I've read that book, No Holes Bard. Okay, go pick up a copy of that, courtesy of Black Privilege Publishing.
Starting point is 01:22:27 They talk about a lot of kinks. Okay, I've learned about pegging from decisions, decisions, I've learned about scat play, yuck, from decisions, decisions, and I've learned about cross-dressing from decisions, decisions. I think they refer to it as sissy training. Okay? It's a BDSM lifestyle where there is a dominant, submissive context where a person is trained to adopt ultra-feminine behaviors, attires, and roles.
Starting point is 01:22:53 It commonly involves feminization through cross-dressing. So Brian Nome was indeed in. sissy training. Now we know why Brian stood by his wife of 34 years. Okay. Now we absolutely know. Okay. Because even with the reports of her having an affair, okay?
Starting point is 01:23:10 He can't say nothing. He was living a double life. Okay. Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we like to wear double Ds. Okay? Double Ds for double life. And this is what I don't understand about politics. Okay. I don't understand people. I don't understand people who vote
Starting point is 01:23:26 against their own interests. What's the point? Okay, Christy Noem has been anti-LGBQ on a lot of issues. Okay, when she was governor of South Dakota, she signed a Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which LGBT-plus advocates criticized as a measure that enables discrimination against LGBTQ individuals under the guise of religious liberty. Christy Noam's administration terminated a contract with the Transformation Project, which was a South Dakota-based group supporting transgender individuals, which later led to a lawsuit and a $300,000 settlement,
Starting point is 01:23:59 paid by the state and she has expressed opposition to same sex marriage. Okay. Like, like, come on, man. She got sued by the transformation project for terminating a contract. So my point is,
Starting point is 01:24:09 Republicans like Christy Knoem don't support this lifestyle through legislation. They speak out against this lifestyle. Me and why they got people in their family living this lifestyle. Okay, engaging in full-blown cissy-training, all right? And don't get mad at me for calling it Cissy Training. That's the name of it,
Starting point is 01:24:26 okay? I just don't understand. why Republicans continue to vote and speak out against their own interests. Okay, it's all performative. At least the Democrats on the down low don't vote against their own interests. Okay, you Republicans be out here cross-dressing, sleeping with transgender, okay, being gay, but constantly passing anti-LGBQ plus legislation. I don't get it. I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:24:53 Okay, make zero sense to me. All right, people like Brian need the LGBTQ community. They need the village. Okay, yes, they need the village people. It is indeed fun to stay at the YMCA. Okay, it will give people like Brian the strength to fully commit to be who they want to be. Cross-dressing is a gateway drug, if you ask me. Okay, pretty soft.
Starting point is 01:25:15 All right, the hard stuff is when you identify as a transgender. Okay, when you don't cosplay in women's clothing, okay? You say, no, I am going to identify as a full-blown woman, okay? and those of you who go get the big chop Oh drop on the clues bombs for y'all Okay, you go get the big chop and you get the sideboard Cucci I respect it okay I respect the Robo Cucci I really do that is commitment okay I am way too
Starting point is 01:25:41 Indecisive to make a decision that big because once you chop You can't stop and I personally respect that decision And that is the type of courage people like Brian need to be around He needs the courage to be himself okay He's in a world and a political party where being who he wants to to B and his double Ds is frowned upon. And I don't like that. I don't like that.
Starting point is 01:26:03 But you know what I don't like more? You know what I hate? Hypocrisy. Okay, I hate people, especially politicians, who publicly have all this anti-LGBQ plus rhetoric, but in private, they pop in that bussy for the internet. Okay? There's always the ones with the dirty hands pointing the fingers.
Starting point is 01:26:22 Please let Remy Ma give Brian Nome the biggest he-ha. he-ha, he-ha, you stupid motherfucker, are you dumb? That is crazy, yo. The big chop is wild, though. That is not what they do. Anyway. I mean, yeah, because all of me ain't big. That's true.
Starting point is 01:26:40 Some of them just get it built around the little penis because the little penis serves as a click. Goodbye. Oh, my goodness. All right. Thank you for that donkey of the day. What? Now, don't do that.
Starting point is 01:26:50 I'll be reading. I see it already. I'll be reading. When we come back, Megan Good will be joining. us. We're going to kick it with Megan Good. My girl. Oh, she's your girl now? Yes, that's my girl. I love her so
Starting point is 01:27:01 very much. Everybody know. I love you. You ask anybody about me. We'll find out. We'll find out why she was so disappointed in you. We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen Nagy. We are the breakfast club. Lorna Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, we do. Megan Good. Welcome
Starting point is 01:27:19 back. Thank you. Thank you. How you feeling? I'm feeling good. Good. Think about that? Well, because I was like, I'm going to say I'm feeling major, I'm feeling good. Oh, no. You're a major, baby. Well, congratulations.
Starting point is 01:27:30 You recently celebrated, what, one year of marriage? Yes. How has that been? How has that one year been? It's been so good. It's been so much fun. Just, it's a crazy thing because I feel like we're just such partners journeying in life and just enjoy each other and just have fun together.
Starting point is 01:27:45 And, yeah, it's just been really nice. How is it different from your other relationships? Like, that first year feeling, because you've been through that first year feeling before. So how is this one different? I think it. it's just about, you know, where I am in life. And I think just the fact that we're truly best friends. And I feel truly seen.
Starting point is 01:28:03 And I feel that this person helps me become a better person. And it's someone that I just really, really respect. And, yeah, I don't compare it like that. It's just different. And it's amazing. You ever want to give everybody the middle finger that thought it was just a ploy at one time? Now they're just doing this just for the internet, just to help him out. Do you want everyone to just stick out your tongue one good time?
Starting point is 01:28:26 Probably earlier on I did, but I think at this point, you know, when you go through the journey and there's so many people preconceived notions and people who think that they know things and you kind of just have to get to a point where you're just completely free. And you're just like, you know what? Those who know you and know your track record and know, you know the goodwill that you have earned just by being authentic and being kind and all those things, those people will give you the benefit of the doubt and they'll be open. Other people, not so much.
Starting point is 01:28:54 And it's not really about me. It's more about their own things and things that they've experienced and things that they may feel. And so, you know. Not only all you are all together and married and love and all the things, y'all have businesses. Yeah. And y'all both are still busy. Yeah. How does that, how is that balance with, you know, personal business?
Starting point is 01:29:14 Like, how do y'all still find time to spend time with each other? Well, that helps it. The fact that we work together, you know. But, yeah, it's been really interesting to. build on our culture because it came out of, you know, being in a season where, you know, you're just trying to navigate life and the work that we started doing with our bodies physically is something that he was already doing. But because I had been training off and on all my life, I never trained this particular way. And when I saw my body begin to transform as quickly as it
Starting point is 01:29:44 did, but then more importantly, it was the emotional things that were on me that were able to come off physically that I realized no amount of therapy, know this, no that, is going to get something sometimes off of you that has to physically come out of you. And then, you know, my brother, Eric Bellinger, he just lost his mom. Shout on to Eric Bellinger, and I'm sorry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:05 Miss Simone. And so he was in that season. You know, I had just lost my godfather, Jim. And there's just, everybody was kind of going through a season. Next thing you know, there's 20 of us doing this workout. And it really became about honoring each other and honoring our bodies and being really intentional. And then that's how it was born.
Starting point is 01:30:22 And so because it's such a way of work, wife for us. It's kind of like we're just doing life and walking in purpose and doing the things we really care about and sharing that with people. This is a move, man. How often is it every day? That y'all do this for them? He does every day. I do it five days a week.
Starting point is 01:30:37 You're okay, you're like, I'm two days off. Yeah, but you know, it's crazy as I started getting up with the 5 a.m. crew now. Yeah. So I'm up at like 4.30 a.m. What are the things? What are the things that you emotionally realized you weren't fully healed to
Starting point is 01:30:53 face that you didn't know until you got there. Well, I think there was so many things from childhood, from growing up in the business, from things that had happened in the past few years to things that had been things that had been going on in my life for, you know, just I had never thought of it that way or really dealt with it that way. And so for me, I actually just discovered a lot in that process, you know, discovered things I may have felt about my dad, discovered things I may have felt, you know, in my early 20s or whatever it was. And so it kind of just opened
Starting point is 01:31:26 Pandora's box in a good way because it allowed me to really assess those things and decide what I want for myself and decide, you know, to be intentional about the future that I want. How has all that helped you now? Because I heard you say like you're ready to move into motherhood and you know unlocking those things, relationships with your dad. How does that help you get mentally ready for when you step into motherhood? You know, well, I've never been a mom before yet. So I just know that I think there were things in the past that I still had built up from childhood
Starting point is 01:31:57 that I think once I started really evaluating those things and then also I think it's a lot of it's Jonathan too like the way I want to do life and the person I want to do life with it makes me excited to be the mother of his children makes me excited to parent with him
Starting point is 01:32:14 it makes me excited to like go on that journey with him all while you know we're always learning and growing and unpacking as we go along, but it's wonderful to have someone to do it with that helps me be better in the process. Do you ever get nervous about that phase? You know, because it's, you just, you know, you're booking more and more shows. You have the liquor lot.
Starting point is 01:32:35 You have all this thing going on. Yeah. But being a mom is difficult, too. Do you ever have any reservation being like, you know what, not now? Or you're like, no, right now. I think I did have reservations in the past because it was always like there's never going to be a good time. But I think that my mind is kind of.
Starting point is 01:32:51 I changed with that because I'm like, no, actually right now is a good time. I'm in a peaceful place. I've done everything that I want to do. I've lived a hell of a lot of life. And everything else I want to do, I know that I'll do it better because of being a parent and because of being a mom. I know that it'll be hard. I know.

I was going to say, how do you protect your peace? when you talk about all the different things that you do it. How do you shut down?

And then after that, it was like social media. And then it was like the church folks. And then it was people thinking that I bleached my skin.
Starting point is 01:38:02 And then it was this, what was that, it was this. And all of these things created what I was saying, that release, where I went from constantly being concerned and constantly getting my feelings hurt and constantly, you know, it's like one thing about me and anyone who knows me, I'm still going to do what I'm going to do. But it's still not a good feeling to know that every time you step out the house, you're walking out to the firing squad. And realizing for me that even though I was proud of myself for still stepping out
Starting point is 01:38:31 and always being authentic and true to who I am, I was like, oh, you get shot up. Like you getting shot up, shot up, Leo hasn't been shot at. And sitting down and unpacking all of those things and asking myself, why do I care that much about this? And why does this affect me this way? And what is, you know, and what stuff that's good to take and stuff that needs to just be put aside? And in the process of doing all that, it just, it has gotten to a place where it's like I wrote this poem that talked about that I always felt like I was on the edge of a cliff and that people were constantly like poking and prodding and poking and prodding and I was just trying so hard not to fall off. And then I jumped.
Starting point is 01:39:11 And when I jumped, I started flying. And that's the experience. You know, it's like I'm just in a place now where I'm like, things are going to come. People are going to say, we're going to say. and the peace is knowing that it's really about what God thinks about me and what I think about me and about the people that love me the most and truly know me think about me. So in that, I just kind of, you know, I disconnect.
Starting point is 01:39:33 It depends if you get me on the right day. You might get the middle fingers. But for the most part, I kind of don't really care anymore. Now, if you're listening and you're in a clip, if you jump, you will not fly. That's what let people know. If you jump, if you're at the edge, you will not fly. I'm just letting you know.
Starting point is 01:39:48 I was going to say, you just be so well. composed through everything. Even hearing you talk about people poking and poking, it always feels like you come from that class of Hollywood that like it's just so like you don't even see or feel to pokes. You just kind of like move gracefully throughout. I don't know you're human, but your composure throughout things are always very well.
Starting point is 01:40:06 Thank you. Thank you. The biggest thing to me is I don't want anybody else to control the integrity of who I want to be. Just because someone's poking and poking and poking, you want a certain reaction out of me. You want me to respond a certain way. First of all, I'll never give it to you.
Starting point is 01:40:19 Second of all, it's more about you not being able to have control over me based on the fact that you're just walking this journey out too. You're just trying to figure it out, just like I'm trying to figure it out. Why would I listen to you? We're all in this and we're all experiencing it. To each is on his journey, but I think the biggest thing is I'm just like, can't let other people control you. You've got to be who you're meant to be. And I think you have a lot of us, like, not us here, but just like people that are fans of you are. supporters that kind of rally for you as well.
Starting point is 01:40:52 And I can feel that too. Yeah, they'd be going hard. Like when the NLE CHAPA, Jonathan Majors, whatever that was happening, people was like, let them be in there, you know, in their marriage and be happy and do their thing. Like, why are we even talking about this? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:07 When did you get to that place when you could let things bounce off your back? When did you get there? And how did you get there? Um, it was the skin bleaching thing. It was because. this woman had messed me up so bad and I realized I was like people think and I saw it.
Starting point is 01:41:28 Oh my gosh. It's okay. It's good. No, please. No, actually, I was in a place where I looked at it. What happened? What happened? Just be quiet. Okay, sorry. I was like, I'm going to leave. I'm going to leave. I looked at it and I was like, I actually have to laugh because it's not like dead ass. This is actually true. Yeah. You know? Don't say I'm stupid. I have no idea what you're talking about skin bleaching. I don't know. What the hell are you talking about? So the short version is I went to this esthetician in L.A.
Starting point is 01:41:53 Who was helping me with like anti-aging things. And then she had like, you know, these soap bars and all this kind of stuff. And the anti-aging was like beautiful. So then she was like, well, I just want to fix like some of the dark spots that you have. And I'm like, no, it's kind of like natural contour. She was like, no, but your skin will be so clear. That da-da-da-da-da. I start using the product.
Starting point is 01:42:10 I instantly see that I'm getting lighter. And she's like, don't worry. Just give it a few weeks. Oh, all your color will come back. That-da-da-da. I give it a few weeks. and I look like so pale and so crazy. And then I go to shoot this show here in New York
Starting point is 01:42:24 and I'm at a premiere. And a picture was taken where it was dark around me, but I was blown out. So I just looked white. I just look crazy. And I went back to L.A. I flew home over the weekend
Starting point is 01:42:36 and I was like, you need to fix this right now. And she was like, well, you know, it's a process. I was like, I don't care about no process. I was like, fix it. So she gives me this serum. I put the serum on. She said, stay in the sun for like 15 minutes. something in myself like, I'm like 39.
Starting point is 01:42:50 I don't really like lay in the sun like that. Not supposed to be in the sun at all, no. But I was so desperate, I wouldn't lay in the sun for 30 minutes. I came back in the house, tried to wash it off. It would not come off my skin. I had to wash my face over and over and over again to the point of where I actually flesh was coming off my face from scrubbing because it was like latched onto my skin. And so it was like really traumatic and like really kind of embarrassing because I was like,
Starting point is 01:43:14 as a black woman, I would never do that to myself. Yeah. And it just broke my heart to think that, like, young black girls would think that I did that or, like, I don't like myself. I was like, how would I do that all of a sudden, a 39 years old? That's crazy. But what it was is the backlash that I was seeing. And I actually don't even know if it was as big as I thought it was, but because it was so humiliating. And because in the past, when something is wrong, I would be able to go, oh, well, here's what this is or this is not true. Now, if you don't like it, I don't really care, but at least you know the truth.
Starting point is 01:43:45 I couldn't do anything. I was like, I look crazy. Like, I literally have to just sit in this and accept that people are going to think that I did this to myself. And there's no way to defend myself. There's no way to say it isn't true. It's not like I can go on social media and be like, it's not true. No, look at me. I look crazy.
Starting point is 01:44:01 And then the realization of like, what if it never corrects itself? What if I'm stuck like this? What if this is like, that's it? That's my lot. That's what's going to happen in life moving for it. I'm just stuck. And in that time, I was just like praying and praying and praying, crying on like, Lord, why would you let this happen to me?
Starting point is 01:44:18 And then I realized, I was like, this is an answer to prayer. The answer to the prayer is you're so concerned. You kept saying, Lord, help me not care what people think. Lord, help me not to be so concerned with this. Lord, release me from these feelings. Well, now you don't have a choice. And you have to still live your life.
Starting point is 01:44:38 You still have to be happy if you're stuck this way. You still have to have quality of life. You still have to figure out how you go and work. You sort of figure all these things out. And if that's what it is, are you going to be miserable and sad and on the floor? Or are you going to move forward and have the most joy that you can have in life? So I made the decision to move forward. The moment that I made the decision to move forward, my color is starting coming back.
Starting point is 01:44:56 And Jess is making fun of you. She had up things like Michael Jackson, Sammy, so-so. And you make it fun about you now? Do you think it's funny? Take a sip. Just relax. I do want to genuinely apologize to you. You know, sometimes it won't be funny all the time.
Starting point is 01:45:10 It was funny. I'm not going to lie. It was kind of funny. So proud. But now to hear, you know what? You just never know. That's the biggest thing about being a comedian. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:45:20 That's the biggest thing about being a comedian. You just never know what people are going through. You know, and I love you. I've always loved you. And I'm very sorry about that. Because to hear you, even in your testimony about the process that you were going, you didn't know what the a fuck was going on with your face, you know? And you like, look, fix this shit, you know.
Starting point is 01:45:38 So I'm sorry. No. Yeah. Crazy thing is Meg has been up here a bunch of times and she ain't slighted you one time. I forgot. I didn't know because she definitely would have slayed to you. I wouldn't have spoken to you. I would have stopped you.
Starting point is 01:45:50 That's why you'd be so blessed, though, because you're posturing about things. Right. Damn. I would have freaked out. Can we cheers? Yes. Cheers. It's early in the morning.
Starting point is 01:46:00 Y'all want to drink this early in the morning? It's 5 o'clock somewhere. I'm drinking apple and side of vinegar. So you got to do the cheers since Nebula 9 is yours. Cheers to the weekend. No, the week and all the beautiful things I had. and enjoying life and different business ventures and quality of life for everybody
Starting point is 01:46:19 and God being amazing. Cheers. Cheers. If you don't want to cheers with Jess, I understand it. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Megan good. We wish you the best with everything. I love you, Megan. It's the breakfast club. It's Megan Good. Let's get to the latest with Laura.
Starting point is 01:46:34 Lauren becoming a straight back. Tell her, ladies. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything She'd be having the latest on the The latest with Lauren La Rosa Sometimes you have facts
Starting point is 01:46:49 Sometimes you have details Sometimes you have a little bit of everything Oh, it's the latest brought to you by Top Dogglo On the Breakfast Club You make me tired Top Dog Loaf! Hey, you said three weeks ago
Starting point is 01:47:01 I bring so much joy to your life When my hair was done bad I'd be lying Okay Damn, all right So I'll say what you need to hear in the moment Trust me you don't
Starting point is 01:47:10 Real quick update here So yesterday it was decided that Jay Z's defamation lawsuit against Tony Busby, who is the attorney that tried to file lawsuits against, or he did file, but they didn't go anywhere, it was dismissed. Filed that lawsuit against Jay-Z for the sexual assault
Starting point is 01:47:26 of the 2000s VMA party. You all remember that whole story? That lie? Yeah. A ton of inconsistencies. It ended up being dismissed. But, yeah, so Tony Busby was basically trying to make it where Jay-Z could not move forward with his defamation lawsuit, and he was saying that
Starting point is 01:47:41 Jay Z had filed in the wrong jurisdiction because Jay Z's team filed in Alabama where Jane Doe, the girl is from, but Tony Busby was saying, oh, no, it should be in New York, so we should dismiss it. A judge ruled yesterday that it will not be dismissed, but it will be moved to New York, and that everything that would be decided in the case moving forward would be decided in New York in the Southern District of New York. So the other things that are on the table outside of the defamation conversation is whether or not Jane Doe, the accuser, should have to reveal her identity. or not. So there will be some updates
Starting point is 01:48:13 there. That's part of the offense, I'm sure, Jay, we're talking about, huh? Yeah. Or defense. No, he said they're on offense now. He said they're on offense now. Yeah. Yeah, but he, I mean, we remember because we reported on it, he came out the gate swinging. And he's not backing down. If you're an attorney and you take these frivolous
Starting point is 01:48:29 claims, you've got to deal with everything that comes with taking these frivolous claims. Yep. Yep. So we'll keep you guys posted on that. Now, in other news yesterday, Charlemagne gave Jaden Ivy Dunkie of the day for his anti-L-G-B-G-2-T-Q-L-G-B-G-T-QA QA
Starting point is 01:48:48 You sound like you guys, the doctor's office, the eye doctor trying to read the line LGB-L-G-R-E-R-E-R-A. Yes. I thought I was in that one point. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, so Charlemagne gave Jaden Ivy Dunkey the day yesterday for his comments.
Starting point is 01:49:03 Let's take a listen to his previous comments. The world can proclaim LGBTQ. They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA. They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, come, come join us for pride, for Pride month to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it.
Starting point is 01:49:23 They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness. So how is it that one can't speak righteousness? How is it one that, how are they to say that, man, this man is crazy? I gave him donkey today for not minding his business. Okay, you got away from the bulls
Starting point is 01:49:42 for something that, you know, you didn't even have to say. What was the point of that? What, did he respond? Well, yes, so he is, yes, he is responded further. Not to Charlemagne directly, but Boosie responded to Charlemagne directly.
Starting point is 01:49:55 So which response y'all want to go to first? Both. All right. Yeah, so Boosie commented on our Breakfast Club Instagram and he also went to X and he was basically seeing how it's not fair. He said, this is sad. It's no more freedom.
Starting point is 01:50:06 speech anymore. Shaking my head. Comedians can't even make jokes about it no more. The power that has been given to that community is outrageous. Straight men and women no longer have a voice anymore. Shake in my head. If we speak, it's taken as hate. And I see no one preaching hate honestly. Just because someone does not agree
Starting point is 01:50:22 doesn't mean it's hate. It's sad how it's so easy to get canceled for your own beliefs and you can't even make a statement like, I only like, then he says the P word. It will be taken as a shot to the community. I also think people in our community should stand up and speak when people get banned for not agreeing, why be quiet when your acceptance is greater than ever?
Starting point is 01:50:40 It's so many people with power who really are afraid of corporations. Corporations, leagues, et cetera, are afraid. Billionaires are afraid. And he says hopefully Jaden will be able to still provide for his family. You know, I actually disagree with Boussi. It's very fair, okay, because free speech is not free. There is a cost to every word that comes out of your mouth. And if you're not willing to pay the price, then shut the hell up because you are not free
Starting point is 01:51:04 from the consequences. of your free speech. You can have the freedom to say whatever you want. But if you say what's something like Jay and Ivy said, you gotta think about all of the people who own that team, who play for that team, the sponsors of that team. And if those people on that team say, you know what, you don't rock with us or we don't rock with you?
Starting point is 01:51:23 So be it. Now you gotta stand on what you said. That's actually what pre-speech is. Free speech isn't being able to say what you want to say, and then when somebody gives you the consequences of what you said, now all of a sudden you're playing the victim, like Jaydnav did. Jay Navi acts like he don't understand why he got weight.
Starting point is 01:51:36 Now, I mean, see, I agree a little bit with boost. Yes, there is free speech, but there's consequences that come with free speech. I just said that. No, I'm agreeing with you. But what I'm saying is until we own our own teams, until we have our own things, where we can make the rules and the regulations. Yep, but you're wrong there too, Envy. What you mean?
Starting point is 01:51:51 Because even if you own the team and you said some foolishness like that, you're still going to be consequences to it. Oh, you don't figure, do we not remember when Donald Sterling lost the clippers? Yeah, because he wanted to express and be free to speak his race's views. And that was in a private conversation. What are we talking about? Well, so Jaden was having a conversation on Kerrigan Skelly's platform yesterday, and he tried to compare this to when Anthony Edwards used a slur and was fined
Starting point is 01:52:17 and said that it's hypocritical that he was let go. Let's take a listen. What did I do to the players? Anthony Edwards had said some derogatory thing to some male. I can't remember vividly what the situation was, but he called somebody a derogatory word, right? He called them the F word, but like, um, oh yeah. Yeah. So he was, he was like portraying that that person was, was gay, basically, right?
Starting point is 01:52:45 And so I believe the NBA find him for it, right? But he said, he said those things, right? And they find him for it. And so how is it that he said something detrimental and basically, hypocritical judgment because he's not a Christian. It's derogatory. It's like a slur almost for homosexuals. Right. If you use that word against them, they're going to be offended by it. I don't know the situation he's referring to, but I know he's not Anthony Edwards.
Starting point is 01:53:16 That's number one. But it seems like Anthony Edwards was talking to one individual as opposed to calling out a whole community and calling a whole community unrighteous. It's a different ballgame, man. I think so anyway. Yeah, I don't remember what Anthony Edwards said and who he said it to. So there was, it was some time ago, back in 2022, Anthony Edwards, there was a video that was recorded. He was in a car. The window went down. He yelled a word out at some men that were outside of the car.
Starting point is 01:53:44 And then the video was taken down and he had to come out to apologize. But it was reported that he was fine $40,000. I just don't like when people, you know, get on Instagram live or any platform, say what they want to say and then want to stand on the whole free speech thing. You are free to say what you want to say. You're not in jail for what you said, right? But you still have to deal with the consequences of your words. Why do y'all think free speech is free? It's not.
Starting point is 01:54:11 There is a cost to every word that comes out of your mouth. And if you're not willing to pay the price, shut the hell up. Shutting the hell up is free. I know that much. All right. Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Yes, that is the latest with Lawrence. Brought to you by a top dog law guy.
Starting point is 01:54:26 So any accident, big or small, make sure you call Top Dog Law. just unnecessary problems. You had to bother them people. People was not bothering you. Not one letter was bothering you. The letters I couldn't even get out. You see what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:38 You said they let go with an aisle? I don't know. I said both just in case. I don't know. Jesus Christ, all right. Arsenia Hall's book is out right now, okay? I write, salute to my guy, Arsenia Hall, dropping a clues bomb for,
Starting point is 01:54:49 a senior hall. A memoir, okay? I'm not even joking when I tell y'all. This is one of the best entertainment memoirs I've ever read in my mother-freaking life. and I could be biased because it came out on my book in print, Black Privile's Publis Publishing, but man, this book is incredible. Congratulations to you, too.
Starting point is 01:55:04 That's the archive and history. That's awesome. He needs to be celebrated. He needs every single flower that we got on this planet because the things that he did for you ungrateful Negroes, you know what I'm saying? So in the book and hopefully he comes up to speak and we can chop it up.

Starting point is 01:55:40 And she was like, you know, she had an acne problem. And she went to a dermatologist. They gave her face wash, and it made her skin lighter. And she said that was one of her darkest moments. She's a black woman. She's a black woman. She's probably one of her lightest moments. Yeah, one of the lightest moments.
Starting point is 01:55:55 And they said that, you know, at her lowest, you made fun of her. Yeah, I didn't know she was at an all-time low. I did, but to be honest with you, I used to go crazy, but I ain't even go crazy on her. It was like around October that I saw it, right? And so I was like, oh, damn, she went as Ann Hathaway. That was literally PG-13 just with the mess.
Starting point is 01:56:14 I ain't never go hard on, Megan, because Shane never did nothing to make me go hard on it. If you're explaining you're losing. I never seen you apologize. Like, you really apologize. Because I really fucking love her. If you're losing. I really freaking love Megan good, y'all.
Starting point is 01:56:27 I really do. I just think you was a terrible person. Like I was a terrible. I was a terrible person. And so that used to, that used to come. Oh, no,
