That's the first image that come to your mind.
You tried it.
Oh, man.
Speaking of saying ridiculous things,
Eric Sermon will be joining us this morning, okay?
Eric Sermon is an iconic, legendary hip-hop producer, man.
He helped the craft, you know, a lot of the East Coast sound,
you know, discovered people like Red Man and Keith Murray,
one-half of EPMD.
But it pains me that a lot of people from this generation
are talking about him as one of the men on the ditty dock.
Because you don't want to be one of the men on the ditty dock, all right?
Because you got men on the ditty doc saying they walk up with sore anus.
Okay?
Eric Sermon did not say that.
He was not one of them.
He didn't, but it's easily to get mixed up in all of that, all right?
So we'll be here to talk to, Eric Sermon, be here to talk to us about that this morning.
And he's got a new album, Dynamic Duos, Volume 1, which is in stores now.
But we'll be talking to Eric Sermon next hour.
But coming up next, Mimi Brown, with Front Page News.
Starting with Red.
G. Herbal?
Okay, I can do G-Herbo.
With the Christmas music.
I do want some Christmas music.
It's the world's most dangerous morning to show the breakfast club.
Time for front-page news with Mimi Brown.
Good morning, Mimi.
Good morning, Shaleman.
Good morning. Good morning.
Bless Black and Holly doing this morning.
All right, well, we're learning more this morning about a high-stakes move by the United States
off the coast of Venezuela.
Now, President Trump says U.S. forces have seized an oil tanker,
and it's the latest sign of just how tense things have gotten between Washington,
and the Venezuelan government.
Let's listen to what President Trump had to say.
As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela,
large tanker, very large.
Largest one ever seized, actually.
And other things are happening.
So you'll be seeing that later, and you'll be talking about that later with some other people.
What did that mean they seized a tanker?
What's in the damn tanker?
Oil.
Okay.
According to U.S. officials, the operation was led by the Coast Guard with Navy support.
Teams were flown by helicopter from the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford, which has been positioned in the Caribbean for weeks.
Now, video posted by Attorney General Pam Bondi shows the Coast Guard members repelling onto the deck with their weapons drawn.
Officials say the ship called the skipper. It has a long history of U.S. sanctions.
It's been linked to illegal oil shipments tied to Iran and accused of operating as a shadow tanker.
which means it's been switching names and hiding its location.
Now, on this trip, it was carrying 1.1 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, some of it bound for Cuba.
Now, President Trump was asked in the Oval Office what he plans to do with that oil.
Let's listen to what he had to say with that.
Well, we keep it, I guess.
When you have to follow the tanker, but we're going to, I guess so we're going to keep the oil.
So they're being honest about this being about the oil now.
acting like this is about drugs, but we know this is about the oil, so they're just being
honest about, you know, doing these heists in front of everybody.
Well, it sounds like it, right? So U.S. officials say the goal is clear to cut off the
money fueling Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro's government.
And back here at home in the U.S., President Trump, he's turning up the pressure saying
this week that Maduro's days are, quote, numbered and suggesting that land strikes
could be next. Now, Venezuela's economy, it depends mostly entirely on oil.
And the administration says a seizure, though, is part of a broader pressure campaign from deploying those warships you were just talking about, Charlemagne, to launching strikes on boats.
The U.S. says are tied to drug smuggling.
Now, Venezuela, they are calling the move international piracy and accusing the U.S. of trying to take its natural resources.
And some members of Congress, though, they are now questioning how far this campaign is going and whether any parts of this may violate international law.
I mean, it sounds like a heist to me, but, you know, I don't know.
what's lawful. I don't know what's legal anymore. I don't know what's unconstitutional because
the media's approach to a lot of this is just reporting it. Like, none of it feels normal,
but when I'm watching the news and they're debating whether this stuff is correct or not,
I'm just sitting there waiting to find out. And I don't never seem to find out. And it feels
like with the Trump administration, the lines are so blurred now that it's hard to know the
difference, right? And speaking of knowing the difference, President Trump, his new gold card
immigration program is officially live. It's a fast track green card,
with a pathway to citizenship, but only for people and companies who can pay steep fees.
So individuals must pay a million dollars and businesses must pay $2 million per foreign worker.
Trump says the money will go straight to the treasury and could bring in billions of dollars.
Now, this would replace the old EB-5 investor visa, which required creating U.S. jobs, and that gold card would drop that rule entirely.
So unlike the old program, there's no limit to how many visas can be issued if you have the money,
and you can buy it.
And for anyone wondering how long that million dollars gets you in the country,
well, the gold card, it will work like a green card,
which means it will allow you to live and work in the U.S. permanently,
but after about five years, you can apply for citizenship.
And the U.S. says that it will help boost companies and keep graduates from schools
whose visas force them to leave after graduation.
But critics say it highlights a contradiction,
cracking down immigration on the border while opening a fast lane for the wealthy.
But Trump says the goal is simple
To bring in the best people and raise revenue for the country
Once again, I don't know what's lawful
I don't know what's legal
A president can just create a gold card and profit off selling citizenship
Like what? That is so crazy
Where does that money go? Who keeps that money? Clearly Trump, right?
Well, he said it goes to the treasury and would go back into the economy
That's what he says would happen
So yeah, so we will see with that all right y'all. Well coming up at 7
And Siza is taking on the White House
why one of her songs
is now at the center
of a political fight.
We'll break it down.
Get it off your chest.
Thank you, Mimi.
Now it's time for get it off your chest.
1-800-585-105.1.
If you want to call up and tell us why you're blessed,
if you want to call up and tell us why you're stressed,
you can do both for those things right now.
It's the world's most dangerous morning.
Show the Breakfast Club.
Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray.
Yo, Charlemagne.
Lizzie, what up?
Are we live?
This is your time to get it off your chest.
I got an indoor pool.
I've got an indoor pool.
We want to hear from you on the breakfast
Club.
We can get on the phone right now.
He'll tell you what it is.
We live.
Good morning.
Who's this?
Hi, Solomon.
Hey, what's that, sir?
Peace, Trab.
What's going on, sis?
How you feeling?
I'm feeling good.
Where my last scene girl at?
We're Envy?
I don't know where N-Vie at this morning.
He couldn't make it this morning.
Oh, okay.
What's that, Jess, baby?
Hey, boo.
No, I'm calling to talk about, so Kalani is up there.
I finally went back and listened to her interview.
Who?
She was talking about that.
Kalani.
Kalani.
Kalani.
Oh, Kayloni.
Kaylani.
Oh, Kloni.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Kaylani, Kaylani.
She was talking about the AI app.
Suno from the AI artist.
Yeah.
So I started using the AI app for songway, but I use it differently.
So, you know, when I write songs, I go and I actually record the songs myself.
Yeah.
Inside the studio, I do the cadence.
I do the delivery.
I do the flow.
But then, you know, I try to, like, you know, give songs to people.
So I use the AI app to actually just turn.
My songs, it's like a female voice.
So I can hear what it was sound like
and a female voice.
I use it differently.
For reference.
I think that's a reference.
Yeah, I use it for references.
So I think it's a great tool for that.
But I can understand what she was saying as far as late.
Now, if you're using it, I believe the poet just puts it just prompts
and just puts her lyrics in there and it does everything else for her for like CID and
delivering everything.
So I do think it's cheating.
Yeah, I heard push your T said that too.
Push your T said that when he uses it.
He uses it to see what.
what a certain artist will sound like on his records.
Yeah, so that's exactly what I use it for.
And it is an amazing tool, like as far as for that.
But now, if you're using it just for this, you know,
trying to make it come up with everything for you,
that is very much here.
No, I agree with you.
I agree what you saying.
I got it.
And speaking of song, my ass, sorry, I don't know,
you didn't acknowledge.
I don't know if you ever got what I sent you.
Yes, I did get it.
What are you talking about?
Okay, I didn't know you didn't like it.
You didn't say thank you.
this thing. I appreciate it.
You never say none of that, baby. Never.
What y'all want me to do, man? Like, I got it.
Okay.
How do you feel like, oh, okay. Hey, Chab, I got it. I'm sending it off for you. I let you know.
I am going to send it off, actually.
Okay, I appreciate it. I'm going to send it. I'm going to send it to dig.
Thank you for reminding me.
All right, thank you all. All right, baby.
Good morning. Who's this?
Hi, Trista Steele.
Hey, Tristia Steele. How are you? What are you calling from?
I'm calling from North Virginia.
North Virginia. Good morning. Get it off your chest.
Um, yes, I just wanted to call to promote my holiday CD and have you guys look at my music video.
It's Call Holiday Shutdown.
But it's highlights for holidays and what everything, everybody is going through right now.
Is it really you or the AI?
No, it's really me.
I wrote and I have a producer Martin Boxer who did the music for me.
But it's highlight and everything that's going on right now.
Okay, so where do we go to list of it, just Apple, Spotify, all of that good stuff?
You could go to all of the platforms, but my Instagram to actually see the music.
video it's t r i s c a s t e e l e trisca still and it's on instagram all right isn't it's not
depressing is it because you say this is it's about everything that are you know people it's a
it's a different christmas this year people are not going to have things the way they used to be
and the holiday shutdown and how it affects people and just where we are as a nation right now
i like that trista but i will say this if everybody
remembered the reason for the season
which is supposed to be Jesus
you know if we did that every year we wouldn't have
these problems about worrying about material things
I just want to put that out there
and that's what the song is how light as well
it's not about a tree it's not about Santa
it's about the reason for the season
that's right thank you for calling
yeah I don't understand
what you don't understand how they don't let
Jesus headline his own birthday
nah no no no no no I'm sorry I don't
do not getting gifts
yeah I don't understand that
how she said it's about how
everything is like surrounding
these days, you know, the
hardships pretty much. And then
she changed it when you said
no, remember in the season, it's not
about material. It's not about what we don't
have. It's about, you know, the reason for the season.
Oh, yeah, because people...
But people are dealing with a lot of hardships.
She's basically saying she wants to remind people of the real
reason for the season, but I'm just simply saying
if everybody thought like that all the time, you wouldn't
be worried about the material thing. Y'all don't never
like, y'all don't never let Jesus headline his own
birthday. Imagine it's your birthday party
but everybody else getting treated like a VIP
Santa Claus, Frosty to Snowman
Rudolph, the goddamn red nose,
rain dead. Y'all care more about
Mariah Carey's song than y'all
do about Jesus. Y'all do not even let Jesus
headline is on birthday. That's why your bald spot
is still bald, Lord. Oh my girl.
Why is your whole headball? If she got the
spray. Exactly.
Damn.
Anyway, get it off your chest.
1-800-585-105-1.
If you want to call up and tell us why you're blessed,
you can do that right now. If you want to call up and tell us why you're
crushed, you can do that too.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club.

Like playing the massive event.
So they help to set the night's tone.
They influence the theme, the dress code.
They help to work on the guest list, the decor, the menu.
You know, they help to welcome guests.
And sometimes they even give speeches or might be a little performance.
And they just help to add publicity to the event because it is a fundraiser event for the Institute.
I just found that out last year that it's a fundraiser.
But it's a fundraiser for the actual Met Gala, right?
Yeah, they have like the Institute and they have where they display a lot of the costuming and different things.
And, you know, they do a lot in the arts.
community. So it's a big event. It's like
fashion's biggest night. Those stairs are like
legendary, but it does give back to
a creative community. Now
they will also join
Gala co-chairs, Zoe
Kravitz. The community
behind the event is just as
Star-studded. You have people like doja cat,
Misty Copeland, Tiana Taylor, Asia Wilson.
Big Asia! Oh! Yes.
Oh, okay, Misty Copeland, that's what's up.
Oh, her sneaker. I'm like, why did you
just get up like that? Oh, yeah, I was wearing her sneakers.
day. Big Asia Wilson, dropping a clue bomb for Asia Wilson.
I hope those are new. How many times you wear those? Because don't be putting
them on the table smelling like that. A couple times.
Okay.
Clean the bottom is?
Mm-hmm.
Well, y'all know whenever Beyonce, or the stars in general show up to that Gala, they give
moments. So some of the things that, you know, we're trying to figure out right now
is who will dress her? Like, which house will she dawn on the stairs? And some people
have even been having conversations about because Beyonce did a, she dabbled in Couture
not too long ago. Just, you know, a little taste test.
if there will be a moment where we see Ms. Tina Knowles return back to, you know,
putting and helping put the clothes on Beyonce because the theme this year is costume art.
And we know from Beyonce's tours that she go crazy with the costumes.
And a lot of people think that this is the kickoff to Act 3.
What happened to the House of Daryon?
Didn't she used to have the House of Daryon?
Yes.
Miss Tina Nose had House of Daryon.
And then it was what, Blue Ivy?
What was the other thing called?
Blue Ivy is her daughter.
I know.
It was something.
Yeah, but it was something named at Cabo.
Ivy Park.
Yes.
Yes, and then after Ivy Park kind of went out of the way a bit,
Beyonce did like a small couture line,
so she was playing around the couture fabrics as well, too.
But, yeah, so people are trying to figure out what's going to happen.
Now, what I do know we probably will see is Blue Ivy hit those steps.
It's right next to her mama.
She's better.
You know she's the manager, okay?
So she's going to be there.
Speaking of, I saw her and Jay Z at the game last night, the Lickers game.
She is so grown up.
That's what happened with the kids.
I know.
more like Beyonce.
Yes.
She's straight B.
Like when B was younger, that is her face.
Yes, like her.
Like she has like a rusting Beyonce face.
Like it's like scary.
Like how much she looked like Solange too.
She looked like Beyonce and Salonge to me.
It's called jeans, y'all.
It's definitely called jeans.
Right.
Like we don't know that.
It's just with celebrity kids.
Of course we know they grow up.
But it's every time you see them knowing how small she was.
You were small too at one point.
And you grew up as well.
You're 33 now.
You was also once a child.
These people are humans.
you do realize that.
Well, speaking of children,
let me say this too.
If there are any...
It's so disgusting.
Exactly.
If there are any MetGala
co-chairs listening
or event planners
or anybody over the media list,
I know that's right.
You know, come on.
Trying to pop out.
We need some presents there
from the world's biggest morning show,
you know, so...
Are you asking for a spot
on the Met Gala?
You want to go to the Met Gala?
Yes, I do want to go to the Met Gala.
I would love to be on the carpet,
interviewing all the people
and bringing the things back to the latest,
but I also would love to go inside
and see if the food
really tastes like Lizzo said it did that one year.
She said it wasn't the best.
Lizzo B. E.
Not like that no more, but that's bad what she was.
Yeah.
She probably was like, this thing is nasty.
She might eat a lot this year.
Remember she said she wanted to bring back the big girl.
Didn't she say that?
Something like that?
She said that there was an erasure culture happening.
But she also said that their food was nasty.
People was like she might not get invited again.
But speaking of kids, we're going to move on to another story.
So Michael B. Jordan is having a conversation with David Letterman for
my next guest needs no introduction
and they posted, Netflix
posted this small clip of Michael B. Jordan
and wow, the girls are crying and upset.
Let's take a listen.
I want to start out small.
I want children.
I want kids with it.
But I figured I got to start off
with like plants and dogs.
I see if I could like...
I see. Plants, dogs, humans.
You know what I is?
You know what I can take care of plants.
I should be able to get a dog.
Yeah.
If I take care of the dog's cool, then you know,
I have a shot.
You will love it.
And I'll be wondering what took me so long.
No, you're right on schedule.
I waited too long.
You know, I'm 100.
What's the problem with what he said?
He said he's ready to have kids.
So people are like, I think it's just the air.
You got some people that are upset because they think they have a chance.
The girls are shooting their shot everywhere they can shoot a shot at.
Who's upset?
And then you have some girls that are like, this means he's going to be off the market
because he's about to settle down.
Huh?
Because he's ready to have kids.
He doesn't have children.
He's right.
Michael B. Jordan's dating life and him.
Why does that upset anybody?
Like when women say they're ready to have kids, nobody cares, but why is that upset him too?
May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car.
I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded.
I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe.
In season two of Rip Current, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Barry and why?
She received death threats before the bombing.
She received more threats after the bombing.
The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California.
They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods.
The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area, but more than it was the culture.
It was the way of life.
I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement.
Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now.

Upset, like, enrage, upset, like if he settles down and has kids,
he is off the market and nobody can get to him.
And the girls be thinking they got a shot with Michael B. Jordan.
Who says they don't?
He got to have kids with somebody.
Yeah, but, I mean, not all the billion women.
He's not even ready. He's not even ready yet.
He said he got to get the plant and the dog first.
He only had none of that yet.
And he always busy.
I had a question about that.
So he's a busy person.
He's practicing with plants and dogs.
Y'all have real kids.
Do y'all think that that's a good practice?
Should I get a puppy?
Absolutely, like puppies.
Like, even though they never start talking and grow up and go to school,
you've got to pay for everything.
They start talking back and all that, clean up their room.
You don't got to deal with that.
part of it, but a puppy is definitely
like another baby.
That's not true. And I don't even know why you're saying that
and you got two kids. We have somebody up here right now
who used to love their dog. They
just recently had a baby. I ain't seen that
little punk-ass dog up here since she had
the baby. And I even say to her,
I said to her maybe about a week ago, I said
yeah, you know, that dog
don't feel like no child no more. Do it
now that you got a real baby at the house, huh?
Yeah.
People's dogs are like
their kids. Yeah. Until they get
kids and realized why did I ever think
okay that this dog
or this pet was like a child
and you know why you are so right
because we had to give our dog away
see what I'm saying you would never do that to a job
and he was no no no no no
but he was yeah he was jealous
and yeah he started going
like barking at my daughter and stuff and I was like
all right now pet pee-pita gonna be mad
to me if something happened to your ass
till I had to give him away you made the right choice
so no puppy it doesn't make sense
for me to get a puppy to figure this out
first of all you need to get a husband how about that
I am going to get a husband.
Let's start what you having a marriage.
Let's start what you having a marriage and a husband.
Speak it over my life.
And then you have a baby.
How about that?
But, you know, I was just thinking like if I start with the puppy now,
I mean, he's already here.
He's on his way to a fiancé and husband.
We can figure out some things.
Y'all know what else I just thought about
and this has nothing to do with Michael B. Jordan.
What's your man having a whole other family?
No, shut up.
Don't.
Why do you speak stuff like that over me?
I did?
You want me to be in here crying on a radio under the table because your time has came
and past.
I said something out loud?
Yes, you did, honey.
I thought something, but I'm happy you got your family back now.
You're going to ruin mine.
That's crazy.
I don't know anything to your mind.
Speak, I was thinking, I was,
he is, he messed my home thing up.
When we come back, we got front page news with Mimi Brown,
and Eric Sherman will be joining us this hour.
It's the world's most dangerous morning to show the breakfast club.
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning, show the breakfast club.
Charlemagne de God, Jess Alarious.
DJ Envy is off the day, but it's time for front page news with Mimi Brown.
Good morning, Mimi.
Good morning, Shalermane.
Lauren and Jess, how y'all doing this morning?
Good morning, girl.
Good morning, Lauren.
Good morning.
All right, so we start this hour with growing backlash
from some of the biggest names in music,
and this time, Siza is calling out the White House directly.
So she's slamming the administration for using her song,
Big Boy, in a pro-ice video,
calling the move evil and boring.
The White House paired the viral track,
originally a sketch from SNL,
with footage of ICE agents making arrests,
captioning the video.
We heard it's cuffing.
season. So if you're not familiar with the video or the song, let's listen to a little snippet.
trying to provoke artists into spreading propaganda.
Now, the White House, they also responded by thanking Siza,
saying her criticism only brought more attention to ICE's work.
And she's not the only artist speaking up last week.
Sabrina Carpenter blasted the administration for using her hit, Juno,
in another ICE-themed video calling it evil and disgusting
and telling the White House to keep her music out of inhumane agendas.
So now Siza, Sabrina Carpenter, they all join a long list of artists from Beyonce, Bad Bunny,
Celine Dion to
just the food fighters who have all
publicly told the Trump administration to
stop using their music. Yeah, I mean
the crazy part is that's all you can
do. You can send them seats and desist. They don't
care because I don't know if it's
legal or not, but they definitely think the juice is worth
to squeeze. It's just like when Republicans
use us in campaigns. Like, you know,
they use this out of context for that trans ad
during, you know, Kamala Harris's
campaign. And then, you know, here in New Jersey,
the Republican that was
running for governor used when I
questioning Mikey Sherrill and she
answered the question terribly. I mean, it's all
fair game, I guess, but you know,
I don't know what you can do about it
legally. Do you think that that stuff is even effective
anymore? Because now people, you've seen
people call them out so much, you know that that don't mean
that the person's really supporting that. Like, do people
really believe, like, oh, sisters with the White House?
You know how many people would be online talking
about, they use Charlemagne and the Republican
campaign? Do you look at the context? Do you look at the context?
You're different, Charlemagne. They've been
thinking you was MAGA. Yeah, but how am I
I ask a Democratic
question. They answer the question horribly
and then they get used in an ad for answering the question.
I don't know what it is about you, but baby, don't Fox News
people love you.
And by the way, and Mikey
Cheryl won too, by the way.
To your point,
I don't know how effective it is.
It is their message.
But no, I feel what you're saying.
I think they do have to come out and say,
no, I don't approve of this because people
will run with it. So, yeah,
absolutely. All right, well, now to Florida
where a story involving a Philadelphia,
a Philadelphia youth program is getting a lot of attention and raising a lot of concern.
Now, eight players, ages 13 to 15, they are now facing felony charges after deputies say they stole
more than $2,000 worth of merchandise from a dick sporting goods over the weekend.
Now, the team was in Florida for a national championship tournament when this happened.
So investigators say surveillance video shows the group splitting up inside the store,
with one group going to make a purchase, while the other appear to load unpaid outside.
items into a Dick's sporting goods shopping bag.
The deputies say three teens walked out with the merchandise and they were stopped
outside while the other five were arrested inside the store.
Philadelphia's Juvenile Justice Center, they say that none of the boys had prior criminal
histories, but the sheriff there in Florida.
They released a surveillance video of the teens.
They released that publicly and described what happened and what some are calling an unusual
press conference.
Let's listen to some of what the sheriff had.
to say. Now, not only did they still 47 items, but ostensibly they may have caused their team
the championship and the football game, because I don't know if these all were starters or not,
but I can tell you that we were finishers. We arrested them, and we put them in lockup.
So when we notify the coach who is responsible for them, you would think he would be,
interested in holding them accountable and responsible, instead he goes to the deputies and begs
them not to take these young men into custody. And then when we said no, then they go to Dick's
sporting goods to the manager and said, oh, don't charge them, don't charge them. They were not
taking bubble gum. They stole over $2,000 worth of products. Well, these kids, they were in Florida
for a football championship tournament.
Their coach said that he knew something was wrong
when he went to wake up the team for the morning prayer
and he realized that eight of them were missing.
Minutes later, he got a call for him to come to the store.
He now says that he hopes that this moment
will not define their future but also serve as a wake-up call.
Let's listen to some of what the coach had to say.
Not only surprised but very disappointed,
I just hope that they take this as a lesson learned, you know,
and realize that, like, actions have consequences.
and actions also affect not just you
but those around you. I agree with the coach
100%. You know what I mean? I'm sure this won't be something that
stains their legacy
long term, but yeah, they got to deal with the consequences
of their actions. Yeah. Well, the boys
will now have to return to Florida to face charges, including felony
retail theft and conspiracy to commit
retail theft. So we'll see what happens. Again, they were 13 to
15 years old and
they're now back in Philly, but we'll have to return back to
Florida soon to face those charges.
What do you do when you see somebody shoplifting, Mimi?
Like, if you was in the store right now and you saw somebody shoplifting?
Mama business.
I know that's right.
I do, too.
I mean, I actually be like, God bless them.
I hope they don't have to continue doing that.
And then I start stealing with them.
That happened to my wife yesterday.
She was like, I'm in the store right now.
And these girls are in here stealing like crazy.
It's the holidays.
It is.
People be neat.
I mean, that's a bad thing to do.
But there are people who don't have any other way, I guess.
Yeah, no for sure.
Is that the right way to think about that?
My grandma just told me, be careful what I said.
And then, Lauren, remember, um, amy me?
I don't know if y'all did this out in L.A., but remember all the boosters.
What you mean?
Remember all the boosters?
I know, but I'm not no more.
You know, I remember all the boosters.
I remember all.
I remember them, and they don't barely exist no more.
They know, I retired.
Shoot.
I was the top booster.
I was, man, I was the one stealing, stealing all types of shit and baby moms in the hood.
Lord have mercy.
What else we got, maybe?
And I was the aunt that would buy from you.
All right, let me start by asking y'all a question.
When is the last time you made a new friend?
And I mean, an actual friend.
Not someone that you follow on Instagram and never speak to again.
Lauren, I'm going to ask you, when is the last time you made a new friend, like a real friend?
Probably when I started working here.
That was like my last, like, group of, like, real new friends.
Okay.
All right, all right.
Well, Jess, what about you?
The last time you made a real friend?
Same.
Same?
Aw, you're so sweet.
Okay.
I'm sad because I lost a lot of friends.
So, like, it feels good to make new ones, but I don't have any now.
Well, like, nearly 40% of Americans say they haven't made a new friend in over a year.
They say that it's because the average person, they don't have a time anymore, and it just gets work, school, everything gets in the way.
And they say it doesn't stop there.
And when you do have those friends, the average person only spends one-on-one time with their existing friends about seven times a year.
And so that's not even like once a month.
So researchers say a lot of this traces back to the pandemic.
People got used to staying home.
And for many, they don't use that social muscle anymore and it hasn't fully bounced back.
But people say that people want connection.
They're just out of practice.
So they suggest group activities, trips, classes, game nights, an easier way, a low-pressure way to rebuild those friendships.
So if you haven't, if you've been feeling like your friend circle isn't growing or even reconnecting feels tough, the numbers say that you aren't alone.
just one and four Americans say that they
they've made a new friend in the past year.
One of the last time you had a new friend.
I don't know. I'm good with the three friends that I have.
I know that's right. I know that's right.
Show name.
Where are your friends?
I don't know, man.
I don't really know.
Like a real friend is different than like just meeting people.
You talk about you every day.
I meet mad people every day.
But, you know, friends are the people that you talk to for no reason.
And you spend quality time, but I don't, I don't freaking know.
I really don't know
It's hard
It's hard to make friends as an adult
I think that's the
The whole premise of the study
Right
You know you can make them
When your kids
But as an adult
It's hard to find quality people
And you might be an adult
Who had friends for a long time
And then they just start getting weird
Exactly
That's what I'm saying
Go ahead get it off your chest
I don't got nothing to get off my chest
My life is great
Right
But what he said was definitely right
You have friends
Since a child
Like people that you grew up
that, or not even grew up,
but it was just like,
you've been known for 20 years,
your whole adult life,
and then they just start getting weird
and acting stupid,
and then they don't appreciate you.
Then you're looking at, yeah, just, yeah.
Thank you, you, you get off your chest too.
Yeah, Lauren.
Yeah, it's a whole therapy session.
All right, y'all.
Well, that is your front page news.

I'm cool with the free friends I got.
I'm good.
I don't know, go to y'all.
Thank you, Mimi.
All right, y'all welcome.
Bye.
When we come back, Eric Sherman will be joining us, you know what I'm saying?
Eric Sherman is a legendary iconic producer who was an architect of a lot of the sounds
that used to hear on the East Coast.
He discovered Red Man and Keith Murray, Dave Hollister.
All type of people.
But y'all think y'all know him because it is Diddy Documentary.
Okay?
And he did tell a ridiculous story on the Diddy documentary about Diddy, you know, throwing a punch at him.
But we'll talk to him when we come back.
It's the world's most dangerous show the Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Just hilarious.
Salomey and the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Law and LaRose is here as well.
And we got a special guest in the building.
The legendary.
Eric sermon, ladies and gentlemen.
What's up?
E-Double.
How you tell you?
Now, you know you're one of the greatest producers of all time, but we're going to get to that in a second.
We need to get to get to this.
ridiculous-ass story that you told on the
Did he documentary?
When you started out, you're going to
already. I've been wanting to talk to you about this
since I saw the documentary. Okay, I got you.
Now, when you sat down and told
this story, right, and then went back and
watched it. Right. Did you say to yourself
I told it wrong? That's not a ridiculous. No,
it's just not ridiculous. I'm going to tell you
what I said was the truth. I never
kept. So what I did
say was the truth, how it went down.
You know, because, again, me and
to his friends, I love me to the death. I would never
put do something to try to disrespect her because behind the scenes I gave her the number to call
Alex and she wrote in the text to oh yeah um if it wasn't for Eric I wouldn't even reached out
she told Alex no about the documentary so I wouldn't even did that if I was trying to disrespect
her on that was just giving my story to what I said me and her are sitting in the car she in the
driver's seat. She's in the driver's seat, right?
So if something was going on, I wouldn't be in the car
talking. You know what I'm saying? I'll be,
you know, whatever. So somebody
knocked on my window, and it was
him. He's deady. So of course,
he goes with her now.
So of course, anybody will be angry and be
mad because that's his girl.
Wasn't it your car? Yeah, but I'm saying
as far as him being angry.
No, I don't know. She's sitting in a driver's seat.
He snuffed you. He never touched me.
Come on. Stop and now. Stop. Come on. This me.
Okay, um, he, when I got out the car, he was angry, so he swung on me.
Oh, so you did get out of the car.
Yeah, I got out of the car, right.
He can't swing in the car in the window.
He made it seem like, he swung on you.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I got the car.
And we started talking.
Then he swung on me.
So now at the end of the day, me being respectful, knowing that, too, I didn't want to do that
in front of her.
Because he swung on you, you just swing back, E?
Listen, Envy, you understand.
dragged him. I'm asking, why didn't you swing back?
Because of the respect
of her.
Was Misa in the car? So Misa was in the car?
She got out the car. She said she got, well...
So you told her get out and told D.
No, I told her to get out. She's got out. Of course you're going to get out.
Right.
We see people talking. You know what I don't forget? Don't forget.
He's yelling. You know what I'm saying?
So, but me and him is also friends, though, too. Don't forget.
I was in the intro of the Mary J. Blage album.
Yeah. Right?
So automatically. And then he had come and talk to me too, which is E.
so I had to get the clearance for that or two.
So we was already, you know, kind of friends.
He befriended me.
So it wasn't like, I'm like,
yo, I couldn't believe that it happened to begin with.
So my thing was, let's go around the corner.
So we won't have to do that in front of my friend,
and you're angry.
So y'all really was cool.
I was cool.
So that's like me and envy getting into something.
Right.
See, that's not how the story look on.
Again, on Netflix, it looks crazy.
So, let me fix the other part about the Biggie Smalls.
Of course Biggie Smalls is not out yet.
So it's new music.
So when somebody says, oh, it don't add up with the baby and this not being born.
I'm saying, no, it was new music.
So again, after you finish going around the corner, you calm down now because now there's no reason for you to get hype now because now this situation is all calm.
So now, like, yo, check this out.
And then we talked about Keith Murray.
because he was a big Keith Murray fan.
So he was like, yo, Eric, what's what about?
I'm like, Keith Murray signed to me.
So again, the conversation that people don't know about,
this is what happened.
So what was the ride around the corner?
Like, when he got in the car,
what did y'all talk about as y'all was driving around the corner?
No, we were just thinking about nothing, so we stopped.
So y'all stopped and realized we don't really want to fight.
It was never going to get there for him, you know?
Y'all had already talked outside the car and kind of cooled it down, is what you're saying?
No.
Oh, so, wasn't it cool.
Can I please ask, God damn.
All right, hold up.
why was she driving your truck
she didn't drive it
why was she in the driver seat of your truck
that's his girl
no I just
she just wanted to be in the driver's seat
oh what kind of truck was it
it was a
what I had
was a forerunner
and she just wanted to be so you wasn't trying to get her back
or nothing
nah
let her hop in the driver seat
nah what I'm trying to do that
all right and so when she got out
y'all left her just right there
she was in front of her crib
oh all right so this was
at the crib. I didn't know we up. Oh yeah, we parked in front of the crib.
Right. I'm like, why would you go around to another
location outside? No, no, no, no.
We spent in front of our house.
All right. So what was this? Was the song
in you tonight?
No, would you stop?
This was ready to die.
You know, party in bull's
thinking about it. Let me tell you about
with Puff. I was just
telling my story. You know, it wasn't like
I was trying to even diss him either.
Don't forget, Puppie came and got
I keep married for every remix,
every song, he called me for Joyce's remix.
So if you were angry with somebody,
I wouldn't be getting phone calls.
He called for Red Man.
He called every time something came out on Bad Boy,
one of my artists was somebody who he called,
or he called me to remix it.
So, again, I understand how it might look,
but it wasn't like, that's why I couldn't wait to get here.
Y'all was friends.
I get it.
Now I get it.
The next question is why the documentary?
Because I didn't see that bit on my bingo card.
When I seen the documentary and I see Eric, I see Eric.
Eric, so who reached out for the documentary and why did you decide to do it?
They asked me the questions.
You know how 50 is, again, I had 50 with Bernard in the beginning.
You know, don't forget, Corey Rooney brought 50 cent to my crib next door, like walked over with him.
Be like, yo, here's my artist, whatever.
I end up doing heat wave, you know, and I end up doing a couple of other songs, though, too.
So I'm also friends with him, too.
So when they ask me the question, I'm like, yo, okay, I do it.
Not knowing it was going to be, you know how you put stuff together.
I told a couple of stories, Envy.
This is a story that they end up keeping, you know?
So again, I'm not here to, Envy, you, if anybody knows me, it's you.
That's what I said.
He was very surprised.
And you know my crew, and you know me as far as just how I roll.
Again, the end of the day, I'm not trying to debunk or make everything sound nice or whatever.
it is, people don't know
the friendship of Misa
and me, and him.
We was actually friends.
And I would never ever
put Misa in a situation on
that, and I said friends. I didn't say we was
like that and we was doing all that.
That was my friend. You know?
Because we never really put together as
being boyfriend and girlfriend.
It was just like a friend thing.
Have you talked to it? Yeah. Have you talked to? Yeah. Have you
talk to me? Okay now.
And this is the part that, again,
at the end of the day I didn't, I was at
Art Basel. I heard that
she was there, but I didn't see her
out. But again, I know she
wasn't going to pick up my phone call because
again, you have to let somebody calm
down and be like, whatever, and see, because
she was getting so much stuff, whatever, but
she texted my best friend, Bernard
and didn't say some nice
things. Of course not, you know.
So again, but it was in the beginning.
You know what I'm saying? So hopefully, you know, she
sees this and then I'll be able to talk to
her, you know, and say, you know, I didn't
mean to do nothing to her because she is my friend I guess I guess what this new
generation every every man on that doc looks like a victim yeah you know what I'm saying
you got guys on their talk about I know that but I'm saying you got guys on their
talk about they they butt got touched and everything so when people see you on the dock
they're like yeah I wasn't too yeah I'm crazy like I didn't belong there you know
when you see everybody after you see the doc I know you was like yo I didn't belong to
your envy I swear I want to we want Superman going
around the world again, be like, you know what, I can rewind
this all back. You know what I'm saying?
And do it over because
everybody who saw said the
same shit, what is Eric doing
in that documentary?
You know? But at the end of the day
it's like this, I can't even take this though
too. Since 19
whatever 89, though, Jess,
the 90, this is
my first time being this on fire.
Like, really?
No, it's not. Just like music.
No, no. No. No. I'm still.
No, no, that's...
You reinvented yourself so many times?
Yes, Sondon, let's explain what you need.
Let's tell me, one second.
I'm telling you, man, this right here is a different type.
Like, I felt like, nah, I'm telling you.
Like, this is the whole world.
Like, you couldn't have a hit record and be around the world,
but you're talking about 23 countries, number one Netflix.
49 countries.
Yeah, okay, whatever.
Yep, number one.
You got to adjust.
All this, and then the album coming at the same time,
I'm number one, you know, on iTunes.
Like, I didn't have this, though.
I don't want them to know you for the docket.
Not that story.
That story sounds crazy.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, listen, I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying as far as me being, listen, I don't want to be hot for that neither.
I'm saying, but it did, it helped the project of dynamic duels.
Nala, our niece, she comes up paying.
I told her one time, next time I'm in Queens, I'm going to take it to some of the big spots of Queens, L.L.'s house to rock and all that.
So we're going to drive out to Long Island and go to East House.
The reason I said that is the first mansion I ever been to and seen was Eric Sermontaghan.
Yeah, why you always bring that up?
Because it's inspiring.
Yeah, but then he forced on me on the last interview.
You said, yeah, Eric, but now I got one too.
But it was inspiring because he let me in his house and you're seeing where Keith Murray made records and with Red Man made records where he produced, you see the landscape.
And I'm like, black people could really have magic.
It meant so much.
So I always wanted to know when it came to that, we've made.
never heard Eric Serman
having financial problems, but I've never
heard. Right. What did you
do differently than most of these people in industry?
Because you always hear, this person lost this.
This person, I mean, you even see
Dame who just went into court for bankruptcy
or whatever it was. He went to court for. How can
we never heard that with you? Like, what made you
different? Again, I watched Parrish
in the beginning
get houses early.
Paris was already getting houses early
before me. You know what I'm saying?
So he was always
already into real estate.
So then when I was able to
to get some bread after the breakup,
because doing the breakup, I really didn't have that much money,
you know, with EPMD.
They didn't really make that much money during EPMD days?
I didn't have it, you know,
but I didn't have it.
And plus I was young.
Like Russell gave, he came and got us from Fresh Records,
he'd spend the $1.6 million to get us,
but again, we didn't see it.
And then we taught a lot, though, too.
So I was able to get me a career,
and get me a bins, you know.
But it was like I didn't really see anything
as far as bank account type situations
until I moved to Atlanta
and the group broke up.
And once the group broke up,
I started buying all type of shit
and I wasn't even living in the cribs.
And I was getting apartments, getting houses,
whatever this doing whatever at the time.
All of a sudden, though, envy, you see what I was doing.
I had so many groups and so many places.
I think Angie Martinez had said one time,
how does it ever get all these deals?
because I was going to the labels winning.
So it wasn't like I was going there and taking money.
So that means Reggie was winning there.
Keep Murray winning that jive.
You know, Dave Hollister was winning at, you know, at DreamWorks.
You know, I had people.
Fonsor Hunter was at EMI.
You know, then I bet the death squad came out.
Then Redd and Meth came out.
You know what I mean?
Deals I had, how much up for money I was getting.
You know, but that was parish.
More too.
But I ended up selling my half,
which is, I don't know why I did that at the time,
but I gave 40% this and that, that.
And then Clive Davis came, you know?
You know, that was $4 million.
This is like, you know, again, at the end of the day,
it was like, it just kept doing what it was doing.
Kadar Marsenberg at one time, too.
So it was the fact that it didn't publish what you see now.
Don't forget I never sold because I didn't have to.
So now, at the end of the day,
the publishing is doing what it is.
and you probably saw the post
after so many years
Weekend does
I don't want to know by
you know whatever
1.9 billion streams
1.9 billion streams
brings you $250,000
every quarter.
So every quarter you get $250,000
for them sample of you. Jesus Christ.
For 4% on one record.
So this is what I try to tell people.
I never told the people to flex.
I was trying to tell,
artists, like you said, if you have your publishing and you own it,
here's what can feed you like a 401k or some type of retirement type of thing
if you own your publishing.
But I get it.
If you don't have the money, you have to sell it.
And people are cashing in for the big money.
I understand that $200 million.
I'm going to do the same thing, too, if I was Dre and Neo and Dream and all them.
I do it too.
But again, but in the small scheme of things, I never had to do that.
So when I sit back and I be at home and years go,
I took off 12 years
because I was on drug for 12 years
so again at the end of the day
them Perkinsets had me at home anyway
you know what I'm saying? So
this is 12 years of being
able to sit down because you got
publishing checks from all that
music that I was able to do
was able to have me sit down. That's how
I live and be without me doing
work is publishing. Eric how did you
get hooked on Perkinset? Perkins was
when you know
well when I had that thing in
2001 when they said I fell from the window.
That was my first time on Vicodin.
Do you ever tell the story of that?
You never told a story that?
Yeah, I mean, people know it wasn't that.
You know, I was in the wrong place, the wrong time.
They said it was suicide and everything.
Yeah, it was suicide.
But Vicodon is what you get first.
That's why I said Michael Jackson, it was the pills before he got to proffer for, whatever.
But I had the Vicodon first.
Once I had the Vicodon, I'm like, you know what?
This is cool.
So I was off of the Vicodon.
Once I got better, 2009, I had back surgery.
As far as like one of the L-5s or whatever,
my nerves had wrapped around my spine.
So it had numb my whole from my balls
all the way down to my legs was all numb.
So I was 72 hours away from nerve damage on that.
Right?
What's wrong with you?
He ain't got to say, pause.
You're talking about medical treatment.
We clearly just talking about bulls.
So it's just, it's not right.
Sorry.
Sorry, sorry.
We're a child.
We're a kid, man.
Talking about his addiction.
Wait.
See that.
Oh, man.
Go ahead, he.
Don't listen to me.
I'm stupid.
So they gave me 120 progen sets.
Damn.
Right.
So the bottle is this tall.
Mm-hmm.
So, so it's 120.
So for the first two days, I didn't fuck with him, you know?
Because I didn't know where there was.
I wasn't, I'm like, where the vice.
than that, you know, whatever.
But then the pain started.
So now I take the percocets.
Now the pain stopped, but I like the feeling.
Not for that, it was over.
He's a 10 years?
12.
How did you finally get off?
I went to rehab in 2022.
Thank God.
What you in rehab?
Was it?
Me.
Thank God.
And I didn't go to no celebrity rehab.
I went to a rehab upstate with regular people.
And they talk about it, too.
They hit me on the things like,
you can't believe you was in here the whole nine
because I figured if I went to one celebrity ones,
you allowed to leave.
And so they say if Solomon is a fan,
I could ask him to get me some progress
and he'd get it for me.
You know what I'm saying?
So again, this place was really kind of locked down.
They really didn't play.
It was a girl and a guy situation.
So it was 22 girls upstairs and 40 men downstairs.
So every day you go to a class from 7 to 8.
So you have classes and you have people who come in on Tuesdays
and talk for you.
So you couldn't leave at all?
No, no leave.
So during that time you couldn't produce,
you couldn't do night.
Because there's none of that.
Just reflect.
Because the first five days is you doing detox and you're doing, what's that?
That's that they use for whatever.
They give you that for the first four days and after that you start rehabbing.
How was detox?
And not having that after having it for 12 years.
The four days is crazy because you get the shit called.
The buchs?
Yeah, well, it's restless legs.
So your leg is kicking and then your arm starts kicking.
So you can't sleep.
So now I'm up for 72 hours doing this.
this, arm punching like a step forward.

A hundred percent of women go through menopause.
It can be such a struggle for our quality of life,
but even if it's natural,
why should we suffer through it?
The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything.
I never used to forget things.
They're concerned that, one, they have dementia.
And the other one is, do I have ADHD?
There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids.
To sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood,
and also to have better day-to-day life.

Lama is a spirit.
It's not just a city.
I didn't really have an interest of being on air.
I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building.
It's where Kronk was born in a club in the West End.
Four world star.
It was five, five, nine.
Where a tiny bar birthed a generation of rap stars,
where preachers go viral,
and students at the HBCU turned heartbreak into resurrection.
How do you get people to believe in something that's dead?
Where Dream was brought Hollywood to the south.
and hustlers bring their visions to create black wealth.
Nobody's rushing into relationships with you.
Where are you from?
They want to look in the eye.
Where the future is nostalgia.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.
We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is shoes and identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.
Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us.
I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are.

You know the shade is always Shadiest right here.
Season 6 of the podcast Reasonably Shady with Jazele Bryan and Robin Dixon is here dropping every Monday.
As two of the founding members of the Real Housewives Potomac were giving you all the laughs, drama, and reality news you can handle.
And you know we don't hold back.
So come be reasonable or shady.
with us each and every Monday, I was going through a walk in my neighborhood.
Out of the blue, I see this huge sign next to somebody's house.
Okay.
The sign says, my neighbor is a Karen.
Oh, no way.
I died laughing.
I'm like, I have to know.
You are lying.
You, my guess, y'all.
They had some time on their hands.
hand.
Listen to reasonably shady from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the I Heart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Sometimes I used to get emotional, but again, not now, but your leg is kicking
and your arm is kicking.
It's called Restless Legs.
So that happens in the beginning.
So now they want you to take some shit called Suboxin, but Suboxone is another drug.
So I was not going to put myself back on something else to calm this down.
I never understood why they do that in rehab.
They'll give you something else, another drug
to wane you off the one that you want.
But it has the same thing.
So if I were to came home, I would have been on that.
So I'm like, fucking, I just wait,
702 hours, this and that, whatever, whatever.
So I end up taking some vinergeral out of everything, too,
to put me to sleep after the 72 hours and that work.
After that, it was pretty cool.
I was just going through it.
But then they tell you, don't go back into your environment.
That means if you go back home,
that driveway is going to remind me of my dealer coming to my driveway.
If I go around the corner
that store is going to mind me because I always had them
meet me somewhere. My kids didn't
know. My kids didn't find out. They ain't
know nothing for a while.
All of a sudden, though, I mean, I'm looking
at this situation like, yo, I
can't get out of here because, again, I'm going
to have to go someplace else because if I stay
here, it's going to call. Right after
that, my mother's in stage five.
Oh, wow. So now
for the whole year, I'm taking
care of her. Now, I don't
post to be in that environment. Because now,
I'm gonna get stress and the first thing I'm gonna run to is her purpose but my mother said
if you do that I'm not gonna make it so once she said that there's no way I'm gonna touch
the pill oh so you was talking to her about the challenges you were facing well well she
no she's not that she just knew that I came up from rehab and I wasn't supposed to be in that
environment or any type of stressful environment she knew that but again I had to take
care of her you know so at the end of the day so once that happened from June to
made when she passed away, right?
My mother was so ill because my mother knew
that how it was going to
hurt me for me to see her die.
Yeah. So I got the call from
Kanye West to go produce.
I knew I was leaving that week,
Charlemagne. All of a sudden,
she tells my sister, tell Eric to get
on the plane and don't miss that opportunity.
She's dying, and she's like,
you know, well, go do that.
So I go on the plane, I land
me and B. As soon as I land,
he passed me the phones, my sister,
My mother's transitioned.
Kanye called and says,
Eric, it happened to me too.
My aunt called me.
Don't worry about that.
Come to the studio tomorrow.
So when he's talking about Yeh, too,
he was there for me.
Yeah.
You know, so that whole seven months with him
had me off of what does happen.
Even though I went home to bury my mother,
I went home and buried her.
I flew to Italy where he was at, you know.
So we worked in Italy,
and I came back home again.
And after that, whatever,
I knew that it had left me
because believe me
those shit called
it's called pause
post
acute stress
or something whatever
where you get the symptoms
of it calling you
Chris Rock
post acute withdrawal syndrome
there you go
it's calling you
so now it's like okay well damn
you know how can I get this
but I know I don't want to do this
but something's going to have to stop me
because if not, that pause is coming in.
I always wondered, man,
for the people who don't know,
Eric Sermon discovered Red Man,
you heard him mention Keith Murray.
I always wondered if EPMD doesn't break up.
Do we still get Red Man and Keith Murray?
Jesus Christ, man.
Of course, because Reggie was there.
Okay, okay.
Murray was there too,
but I can imagine the five years.
Don't figure, this is Headbinger and Crossover.
And we out.
So imagine the five years in between,
I wonder what would have happened, you know?
Was there other groups that would have came?
Was the Wu-Tang and the chronic would have been, you know, able to, you know, the rain that we had.
Was Ki-Marie would have been the new added addition at that moment.
Now we, oh, my God, you know, another one, you know, so five years in between.
I asked that question all the time.
I wonder what it would happen.
How's Keith what I do.
And illegal.
People forget about it.
Yeah, with Jamal.
Yeah, Jamal.
Yeah, Jamal.
Oh.
Jamal is a elite.
Yeah, this right here is going to sound crazy,
but I need to make sure that
we got clickbaits. So start something
up real quick. No, he did.
Seems you know what I'm saying.
All of the young people here, when
they talk about the Diddy Doc, they'd be like,
oh, man, I ain't know Diddy was messing with dudes.
So they'd be like, Little Rod, Kurt, Eric Sherman.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you ain't watched the doctor
if you say Eric Serbian.
I never heard nobody say Eric Serbian.
It's just the perception of the doc
because the guy that's...
No, I'm serious.
Listen to me, Eric.
Eric, listen to me.
It's the perception of the dot.
He's crazy.
It's a perception of the dot.
I'm not even mad.
He's my friend, but just.
E double, we appreciate you for doing this.
Eric can confuse himself.
Thank you.
Hey, go, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
No, listen, no, because now you usually do a lot more,
and I feel like I'm getting shorted.
When Diddy drove you around the corner.
Say, was he in the backseat?
What did he?
Okay, thank you, brother.
I love it.
I love it.
No, I love you.
I love you.
We heard it with a coup.
Peace.
Peace. We love you.
Thank you.
We love you.
Bye.
Bye, bye, bye.
It's the breakfast club, good morning.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show, the breakfast club.
Salute to Eric Sermin for pulling up, man.
Make sure you go check out that dynamic duels, volume one.
And if you want to watch him on the Didi documentary on Netflix, The Reckoning, just know he wasn't a victim.
Now it's time for the latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Lauren Becoming a straight fan.
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 this.
The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details,
sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
L.L. Cool, Bay.
What we got?
Yes.
So I know we had Eric, or had Eric Sherman on the show.
This morning talking about the story that he told in the Diddy Doc.
Now that story, and I have a clip of it here, him speaking on Mesa.
Let's take a listen to the story he told.
I thought it was a general friendship until I see that this game is being played.
You got an agenda.
Mesa, he was trying to court her after we broke up.
Sean wants her because Eric was that dude.
It was about I got her.
I won her over from him.
He had to have the girl.
And Sean has a way about when he gets you, he got you.
And now you become property.
Meena was just friends, but he wanted to make sure that there was no calling and me being friends with that girl.
Sean's jealousy, it got to the point where he would put his hands on her.
Right outside of Uptown Records, they're fighting in the street, and he's beating her into the car well.
She's on the ground.
And people are pulling him off her from her from her.
and separating her
a year or two later
they're still together
and Justin is born
Now those are two voices
so the story about Misa
and Diddy taking Misa
from someone because
he wanted the girl but they were friends
that's Eric Sermin. The other allegations about
the domestic violence is Kirk Burroughs
who was one of the
creators with Diddy of Bad Boy
But and he said Diddy touch his butt
allegedly?
I spoke to Misa
who also you know
heard the interview as well and she gave me a statement that she wanted me to read on air she says
i do not have anything to say except i didn't deserve any of this and this documentary has caused
a negative impact on my life puffy and i ended our relationship in the 90s and i never look back
outside of co-parenting and issues that affect my son or my creative contribution i don't speak
on puffy also for eric to encourage she's talking about eric sermon to encourage a false and forced
narrative that puff wanted me because of him is not only a lie but delusional he didn't know me from
Eric. Puff and I are both from Mount Vernon.
Tell him to keep, she's speaking to Eric.
Tell him to keep my name out of his mouth before he
opens up a can of worms. It's sad that a legendary
producer and artist is now speaking
on another man's life and a doc that
has included false statements that are damaging
to me and my son.
Damn. Yeah, so
I know he said he was trying to give her some time to cool
down, but I think he just need to
keep on. What's up? What's up
did he wanting to date everybody's girl, though?
You know, it's like he was
looking to collect DNA in whatever way he could.
You know what I'm saying?
She's not a part of that conversation
But I know I saw 50 Cent yesterday
On the Sherry Shepard's show
And he said that he actually left out video
Of a story about one of Diddy's daughter's mom
Chance's mom
Who was dating Tupac before Diddy
Let's take a listen to 50 Cent
Now, you know, because this is a lot of the personal footage
Of Diddy. It shocked a lot of people
And I know 50, the way you run
This cannot be all that you have
Is there other stuff that you just have not shown
Yeah, well, everything couldn't make the, it was four episodes.
Right.
So it was a lot, you had to pick and choose things, like even in, like, an area where he chooses to date people who he knows previously dated someone.
He has a baby by a woman that was dating Tupac.
Wow.
To add to it, but we had to cut it down.
For time.
So are you coming out?
I know next year is going to be a number two.
Season two?
Or I just put it on YouTube.
I just put on YouTube.
Yes.
I knew that story.
Yeah, I mean, but a lot of, like we've talked about this before, a lot of the stories in the doc, you know, I think 50 cent just platformed it where people are now paying attention.
It's just such weird old behavior to just want to date, you know what I'm saying, all these other guys, women.
It's like, Diddy was just out here looking to collect other men's DNA.
It's almost like, let me look into this vagina and see if he left anything in here.
That is nasty.
As nastier than him actually collecting semen?
We saw the doc, allegedly.
But when you put it that way, Charlemagne, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, you know.
a heck of a headline.
I mean, yeah, it is crazy.
Well, moving on from DNA and other men's semen.
Heading on over to the West Coast,
since we're talking about Tupac.
The game sat down with Shannon Sharp on Club Shay-Shay.
He says that he's the best rapper on the West Coast
and out of Compton.
Let's take a listen.
You still the best rapper from Compton?
I'm definitely the best rapper from Compton.
Definitely?
Definitely.
Who's the best rap on the West Coast today?
Game.
Now, that'll quit?
Yeah, it ain't.
yeah that's it
ain't nobody getting at you
can't nobody out rap me man
and anybody that knows
anybody that knows will know
because people can't
even if you are
like no one can do
what I can do
like no one has my skill set
because not only am I
do I have the ability
to rap
circles around people
I'm also with
all the bullshit too
if it came down to that
so it's like
I'm yeah
I'm the best rapper
in this town
damn game I mean
the OG man
some OG
some heavy weights. I mean, Cube, Snoop.
I love Cube, but Cube can't outwrap me.
I love Cube. And by the way,
the reason that Cube can't outwrap
me is because I use Cubes,
you know, I use Cube's legacy
to help me sharpen.
I use Snoop's legacy to help me sharpen myself.
First of all, how else
is he supposed to feel? Period.
About his lyrical ability. Second of all,
game is a rapping-ass raffle.
And I don't care what era he's in. Game would
be competitive and be one of those ones.
I ain't talking about popularity.
I'm not talking about record sales.
I'm not talking about who's hot.
I'm just talking about straight lyrical ability.
Yes, game can talk that talk.
Absolutely.
And have you heard the new gangster grills?
Every movie needs a trailer?
I haven't heard that yet.
Oh, my God.
Drop one of clues bombs for DJ Drama and Game.
Drama and Game got busy on this.
I haven't heard that yet,
but I think where people get game messed up is
because he speaks on so many other things
and is in the news and all these things
for things outside of just his bars.
That man can rap.
People get them a little messed up.
Game is an MC.
Period.
Bottom line, point blank, period.
He's in any lyrical rap debate.
Okay, how you feel about him personally?
Once again, I ain't talking about popularity.
I ain't talk about none of this stuff in the,
I'm just talking about rapping skills,
rapping ability.
Yes, game is one of them once.
So who, if he did a versus, who would he send?
Who would he send out?
They asked him about that in the interview.
Or Shannon Sharp does, and he says he could only battle 50 cents.
Who?
Game? Yeah, Game says he could only...
Hey, Jess, welcome back, girl.
What's up, yo? What's up? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know about no verses. I'm talking about just rap.
I'm talking about picking up a microphone and spitting bars.
Yes, game is one of them once.
Period. Absolutely.
Well, that's what she said, though. That is a law that makes you think.
Who could he battle in the verses?
50 would be the one? What you think about that, Shaw?
Just who would you think?
I haven't even thought about it. I'm not even thinking about verses.
I'm just talking about rapping.
And by the way, I've been listening to that Gangsta Grills
Every movie needs a trailer for the last couple of days
Like that
Game and drama got busy on that
But just rapping
Yes, game is a rapping ass rapper
He is a super lyrical miracle
MC
He wanted him ones
Yes, he is
All right
Well, we got to him
Go ahead game
Yeah, we did
Glaze it up
That's it for the hour
I gotta be glazed
You know what I'm talking about
Let's glaze it up
Just did you make that noise
Or red did you play that
No, that was me
That was big glades.
I told, listen, I didn't told you all I was Throat Monster before.
Okay.
Stop playing.
Red said, wrap it up, wrap it up.
Can you put her on mute, please?
No, I was just on mute throat monster.
No, I was just on me.
Mute Throat, please.
All right, four after the hour, we need Hillary Swank to come to the front of the congregation.
We like to have a world with her.
It's the world the most dangerous morning to show the Breakfast Club.
Some donkey todays just saw themselves.
I haven't watched you, Charlie, man.
I was ready for old donkey and the same.
I never heard of a donkey
other day. What is it?
Say it again, Charlemagne.
I'm a donkey. Yes, you
are a donkey.
I'll show you how to act a donkey.
Everything that Charlene is the same is true.
Yes, Donkey today
for Thursday, December 11th, goes
the actress Hillary Swink. You know Hillary Swink.
Yes. Yes. A two-time Oscar winner.
She won for Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby.
Well, she recently had to
apologize because she snapped
lashed out, berated, scolded.
What's some other words for when a white woman is in caramel and she's upset with you?
Lambasted!
Okay, lambasted a mother!
All right, now, I was looking at this story on page six, and it was a mother named Jada Bufus.
I think it's how you pronounce her last name.
And Jada was taking her two terminally ill sons.
Okay, she has two terminally ill sons, Mason 7 and Jack 4, and she was taking them to Disneyland for a make-a-wish trip.
Okay, I repeat, Jada was taking her two terminally ill sons to Disneyland.
for a make a wish trip and she was at LAX
at baggage claim and she was walking next to Hillary Swank
now Jada said she did a double take on her
because duh, it's Hillary Swank and you know
she's a fan of her movies and stuff
Jada said she did a double take and you know
she took her phone out because she got distracted
and was trying to find her make a wish kids
and her husband. She said I just looked
like you know I was trying to call my husband
and then this happened. Let me read Jada's tweet
last Monday at LAX
I was trying to find my son
during his make a wish trip to Disney
when Hillary Swank turned around
and snapped at me
you got what you needed
get what you came for
enjoy that picture
Jada says ma'am
I wasn't taking a picture of you
I was trying to find
my two terminally ill boys
at baggage claim
but thanks for poking
at a stressed mom
on her kids make a wish trip
iconic timing
because she lived here in Spokane
long time ago so random
now let the record show
Jada needed
to let her social media followers
know she met Hillary Swink
okay please remember that
in this thing called life
everyone got their own reality show going
and we all could be guest stars
or extras at any moment
all right Jada was sharing space with Hillary
and because of Hillary
and the way she acted
Hillary became a guest star
in Jada's show so no
so now Jada got content
okay. Bontent if she's a blood
Hillary said to Jada you got what you needed
get what you came for enjoy that picture
and then Jada said
Hillary stormed off a little bit.
Well, guess what, Hillary?
As you found out, Jada wasn't really thinking about you like that.
Okay, yes, she did a double take, but she had her own life going on.
She got two terminally ill kids.
She's on a make-a-wish trip.
Just because somebody noticed you, ma'am, and pulled out a phone, doesn't mean they were pulling out a phone to take a picture of you.
Okay, I know we may not realize this in 2025, but phones do other things than take pictures.
People pull out phones to make calls.
They pull out phones to text.
They pull out poles and check the temperature.
I understand, Hillary, you're a Hollywood star.
Okay, won a couple of Oscars, but understand,
when in a space like the airport,
life is about interconnectedness, right?
Not just you being the main character,
but the Hillary's credit.
She clearly felt stupid, and she reached out
to Jada via Instagram to apologize
and explained she was worried about her twin toddlers
being photographed.
Understandable, understandable,
but Hillary Swink, you're Hillary Swink.
If you're in public and don't want you and your family to be seen,
then you have to take steps to make that happen, okay?
Take the proper precautions.
It doesn't mean people have to right to overstep their boundaries
because folks nowadays will just walk up with the cameras out,
you know, ready to take a picture, video already recording.
So I understand you being on guard, okay?
Those folks actually deserve to be snapped at,
but you can't just assume because a person looks at you
and then pulls their phone out that they are looking to take a picture of you
are with you.
Okay, listen, no matter how.
how famous you are and this isn't even a lesson strictly for famous folks because i don't even know
what being famous means in this era but no matter how famous you are a little patience and empathy
go a lot further than snapping at a stress stranger because that stress stranger is just as stressed as
you are that person is looking for their kids and you worried about your kids too okay you don't know
what that person is dealing with just like she don't know what you dealing with so just take a deep
breath sometime before you assume the worst because everybody not thinking about you
you.
Please give
Hillary's
wink
to sweet
sounds
and hamiltones
Oh now
you are the
donkey
of the day
you are the donkey
of the day
y'all
you're not always
the main character
even if you won
Oscars for being
the main character
Hey yo
I remember I was
in the airport
right
and I did that
dumbish
before you. I was in the airport. I was, I was, I was however out of where. And I was just,
I would have did this sober, but it was this lady, little lady walked up to him you or
whatever, and she had had our phone out. And I was like, look, ma'am, I, you know, I don't want
no pictures. And she was like, no, do you know where the, and she was trying to get me
to ask her, like, ask for you. See that? Ain't nobody was mistaken about you. Right. And I was
like, damn, I need to humble myself, really. You know, that's the first thing. I was like,
yo, I'm good. I don't want no pitches. I'm, she said, do you don't know where the baggage claim?
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah, if you just go down the escalator.
Was this before you was Mexican?
After you became Mexican by marriage?
No, this was the other day.
Shut up.
Oh, so you were Mexican?
Okay.
Was you with your Mexican family?
It wasn't a Mexican lady.
I think she was like Middle Eastern or something.
I don't know why that accent was Spanish,
but yeah, it was like an Indian lady.
And I didn't know.
I just thought she was regular black when she walked up.
I didn't expect for her to sound like that.
And she thought I worked there.
And she was asking me where it was going to the screen.
You went from a man character to an extra real bad.
I don't want no pictures.
She thought she worked at.
No.
She said I thought she was a regular black.
Good for you.
Good for you and Hillary Swain.
I know, yo.
I know.
I'm sorry, Hillary.
I'd do that too, yo.
Now, we got just fixed my mess coming up.
1-800-585-105-1.
Call up here right now.
Remember, she's not an expert of anything,
but she has some experiences
and she can help you with some stuff, okay?
That is crazy.
It's the world's most dangerous morning to show the Breakfast Club.
Help me.
Tell us.
Maybe.
It's the real deal.
Help me.
Help me!
Oh, my God.
I'm all up in your mess.
I'm a fix it.
Fix it.
Fix it.
Just going to fix your mess because my advice is real.
Good morning.
Who is?
Good morning.
Hey, girl.
How you doing?
I'm good.
So, good morning, everybody else.
I apologize.
I have a 15-year-old daughter, and she's at that age where popping off is a common thing.
And I'm trying to keep from throwing hands.
Yeah.
And I raised three boys, and she's my last girl.
So the experience is totally different than I had with my boys.
And I had to tell her last night, your brothers never disrespected me the way that you do at time.
And it's not, you know, she don't raise up at me and stuff like that.
It's that so quiet disrespect, you know, the topping of the lips, the rolling out of the eyes,
putting the hands on the hip, best of stuff.
that make you just want to, yeah, so I need some advice.
Because I check in with her all the time.
I'm always available.
I'm always saying what do you need.
Are you having trouble with anything?
Is there anything I can do to help?
But it's just like when she turns 15, she just, I don't know.
The good thing about it is you say she's not raising up.
She ain't trying to swell up on you.
She ain't squaring up.
She's not disrespectful with her words, right?
Like she don't call you out your name.
She don't curse.
she don't know no no that yeah so to be honest with you you probably ain't going to like this
but you had three boys that you raised but this is your only girl right yes you know that's
different you know they different right they you this your first girl you never had a girl before
and then the tune would be different if you had girls before right so that that is different now
my son is 13 he's starting to smell herself too you know what I mean but he's not disrespectful
this is just a teenage phase that she's going through
you know what I mean as long as she's not like on some
she need to be on Dr. Phil type you know what I'm saying
this is literally just her phase this is this is what they do
to be honest with you now every kid is the same I mean not the same
I'm not going to say every 15 year old that
but I know some worse than that some that are raising the hands at them
mothers some that don't don't abide by the curfew they don't care about
rules they talk back they sneak boys in the house and they they stay out all times of the night
now i'm describing my 15 year old self okay so you ain't having that problem i think you continue
to show up for her and you know because listen she around other 15 year olds she you know
she's seeing how how they act and and you know she's trying to figure out who she is too
and you got to also remember that as well um your three boys their experience growing up is different
they're hers. You know, every kid is different, even though they all come from mine.
I told her, I said, your brother's got the Tupac and Biggie Mama.
You got the Brady Mama.
What's the Brady Mama?
And he's trying to pull out of the Tupac and Biggie Mama out of me.
But you see, that's why you're a different type of mama.
You should have been the Tupac and Biggie Mama with her, but this was your first girl,
and you were softer with her than you were with your three boys.
Am I lying?
No.
Yeah.
you were much softer this shit that's your princess that's your only girl that's that's how i
am with my daughter i see myself about having to put my my my foot up or you know put my my fist
down molly throat in the coming years you know what i mean but i'm soft i'm soft on her i wasn't that
soft with ass you know what i mean so that's why my son like he he pop off a little bit but he's still
very he's still a good kid he's very respectful he he does his chores he you know what i'm saying
he knows how to express himself when he's upset he knows how to like just fall
back before he says something that he regret
and things like that. You know what I mean? It's just
I think you continue to keep showing up for
she understands the type of mother she got
but you were soft on her and that's
not bad. That's not bad. You ain't got to be
Biggie and Tupac, you know,
the Biggie and Tupac mom
for, you know, for everything.
But I think she's okay.
She's not. She ain't doing nothing crazy.
Is she just being her 15 year old self?
Watch, this is all going to pass. When she 18
it's going to be done.
So just basically I need to suck it.
up. Yeah, just suck it up, but have conversations with her, though. Like, you know, still have
conversations with her. And you don't got to practice gentle parenting. You look, listen,
I'm sick of your little ass popping your teeth and rolling your neck and all of that. I need
you to get it together. I want you to really express yourself a better way. Talk to Mommy.
What's up? What's going on? What makes you do that? Because I don't, I don't do anything to
deserve that. You know, I'm actually softer on you than I was on your brothers. And look,
don't compare her to our brothers all the time. That's another thing.
too. Don't compare her to them because that can make her feel away.
You know, she's still her own kid. She got her own identity and she's the only girl.
So, like, but have those conversations with her. Don't, don't take your hand off of it. You know what I mean?
Do you know that I will.
You won't be her ass to bed, but she's 15. Don't do it.
I know. You sound like, you're like, girl, I got a belt. No, don't, don't be the ass. She already too old for that. Just to say that I don't try to talk to her.
At least she ain't like, catch me outside. Remember the girl on Dr. Phil?
Oh, my God, yes.
She ain't like that.
I watched that in real time.
So you're right.
Right.
You're sorry.
Just talk to her.
But she's smelling herself.
She's still trying to figure out who she is.
She's 15.
It's okay.
Thank you, Jess.
No problem, boo.
Good morning.
Who is?
Okay.
Good morning.
What's that, babe?
What's your problem?
Good morning.
All right.
So I've been dating this guy since April.
We made it official in August.
In the very beginning, I didn't really take it seriously.
I just wanted to have.
some fun, but I began
to fall for him.
Well, so now we're in December, I
found out like three weeks ago that he
cheated on me.
It took a lot to get him to
admit it. I basically had to start crying
for him to admit it to me.
So he finally admitted it.
We're here now. I'm I'm Idaogoria.
And I'm Maitegames Gron.
And on our podcast, Hungry for History,
we mix two of our favorite
things. Food and history.
Ancient Athenians used to scratch
names onto oyster shells, and they called these Ostercon, to vote politicians into exile.
So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster.
No way. Bring back the Ostercon.
And because we've got a very Mikaasa is Suu Kasa kind of vibe on our show, friends always
stop by.
Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the Gulf of Mexico.
No, the America.
No, the America.
The Gulf of Mexico,
continue to be so forever and ever.
It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment.
They had land reform, they had labor rights,
they had education rights.
Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians
that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife.

May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Barry's car.
I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe.
In season two of Rip Current, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Barry and why?
She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing.
The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California.
They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods.
The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area, but more than it was the culture.
It was the way of life.
I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement.
Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.
We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories.
I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.
Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one
or just joining the Family Secrets family,
we're so happy to have you with us.
I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets,
the ones that shape our identities,
test our relationships,
and ultimately reveal who we truly are.

Welcome to Decoding Women's Health.
I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology
at the Adriah Health Institute in New York City.
On this show, I'll be talking to top researchers and top clinicians,
asking them your burning questions and bringing that information
about women's health and midlife directly to you.
A hundred percent of women go through menopause.
It can be such a struggle for our quality of life,
But even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?
The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything.
I never used to forget things.
They're concerned that, one, they have dementia.
And the other one is, do I have ADHD?
There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids,
to sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood,
and also to have better day-to-day life.
Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer

And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History
about the best ideas and people and businesses in history.
And some of the worst people, horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business.

It's like not having it at all.
It's a very simple, elegant lesson.
Make something people want.

But I don't know what to do.
I don't know whether I should trust them again.
I don't know.
We should break up.
He didn't really seem apologetic like I had to, like I said, start crying to bring it out of him.
He's very nonchalant.
Acts like he doesn't care.
But when I start crying and showing emotion, he cares.
recently he was sharing his location with me but now he stopped and he wants me to trust him

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the Breakfast Club.
Talk to me.
Country music star Jelly Roll.
Y'all know Jelly Roll.
That's my guy.
He's a big jelly.
Yes.
So he has been on this, like, journey, like a life-changing journey.
He's lost a lot of weight.
He was, like, over 500 pounds.
I think it was like 550 pounds.
So lost a ton of Wade.
He's left drugs alone, a lot of things.
He sat down with Joe Rogan, and he was talking about how his addiction,
And, you know, fighting back against losing weight was affecting everybody, including his family, but also his sex life.
Let's take a listen.
I realize that in addiction, that an addiction, the family will kind of cater to the addict.
It's nature.
You know, like if somebody in your family was a drug addict, you would help with their kids or you would, you know, you would feel a need to help in their absence.
It's what we do as a family.
It's human nature.
and I realized then how much my addiction had been hurting his family
you know how much that my sex life with my wife was horrible
dude I married a big tib blonde beautiful woman dog
you know what I mean like I married the kind of woman
that makes you smile when you're crying you know
and I couldn't I couldn't even get aroused I was so big
I mean I was having to play I was having to play twister to have sex
left foot here right foot in the X you know are we in there yet
Damn, Jelly.
It was bad.
Now, Jelly had a lot of addictions.
He had food addiction.
He had drug addiction.
Alcohol addiction.
He had a lot of different addiction.
But I always like Jelly because he talks about his mental health struggles,
but he talks about, you know, overcoming them, man.
Jelly's a good human being.
Yeah.
I know on his birthday, he had posted a video.
I saw him and his friend were running.
And he was talking about how he normally wakes up and he's high and he's drinking on his birthday.
But this year he woke up to do a run.
So he's been documenting his journey.
his life changed so it's good to see but also creepy and shout out to his wife yo his wife
is like his pit bull like when they because before all of this like people would be
picking on him in a comments and things like that man his wife would stand 10 toes down in
them comments i don't think i fussing people out and like she love her husband no matter what
condition he was in you know what i mean she don't play about that man he's a good human
we talk about people being spiritual beings living a human existence like he he really is the
embodiment of that and i love that he uses his testimony to help us
And they inspire other people, man.
Drop on the Clues Bonds on Jelly Road.
That's a great brother right there.
Well, in other news, taking it to the holiday.
So Tank was caught in the airport by TMZ,
and they had a conversation with him about Christmas music.
Because y'all know Mariah Carey,
and I know you say that we take Jesus' birthday away from him
and only talk about Mariah Carey.
No, you don't let Jesus.
No, Jesus doesn't get the headline his birthday.
Y'all got Frosty to Snowman,
Rudolph the Red Nosed, Randis, Santa Claus, that Mariah Carey.
So it's a lot of things that come before Christ on Christmas.
Frosty fell off, though I ain't hear nothing about Frosty in years.
Frosty fell off.
He need a scandal.
He'll come back.
Well, Tank is ranking Christmas music because they asked him about Mariah Carey's Christmas
song, but he's bringing up Boys and Men in Brian McKnight.
Let's take a listen.
Period.
There's so many great Christmas songs, iconic.
If you have to, like, really think about, like, from a singing, who's saying that ass off
on the greatest, like, vocalist performance Christmas song of all time?

Silent Night by the temptation

putting up the tree and my grandma
Especially.
Yeah, but the problem with that song,
if you play it on Christmas Day,
it won't be done until New Year's.

And now when I was doing this.
I feel like you about to say something stupid.
No, this New York Post article came up, and they were talking about how Joy and Reed posted this video that Jingle Bells is racist.
And I started reading, and I'm like, dang, we can't enjoy nothing.
Everything.
Damn, why is it racist?
What is it?
Because the video she posted.
It's back man smells.
Not black man.
It's jingo.
Bells, Batman smells, Robin later
Why is it racist? Because she says
that there was a racist
Confederate soldier who wrote
Jingle Bells to make fun of black people and its
origins are in like a bigoted
show. Aye, man. Play
Police Navidot.
For me, Navi, God.
Oh, no, man.
Police Navidot.
Come on. I want to wish you a merry
Christmas. And I want to say, too, for all the brothers out there

It means that you have to shed anything that no longer supports your well-being.
Okay, so I'm just want to keep reminding y'all of that
