Starting point is 00:00:27 Listen to season four of Snafoo with Ed Helm. on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where,
Starting point is 00:01:00 He steals from rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million that had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Listen to Crimless, Hillbilly Heist on the IHeart Radio, app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Two rich young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one of them will end up dead and the other tried for murder three times. It starts with a dream, a nature reserve, and a spectacular new home. But little by little, they lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Listen to Hell in Heaven on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. People called them murderers. Ten years later, they were gods. Today, no one knows their names. A group of maverick surgeons who took on the medical establishment who risked everything to invent open-heart surgery. Welcome to the Wild West of American medicine. I'm Chris Pine, and this is Carlin. Cardiac Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:02:31 If you like medical dramas, if you like heart-pounding thrillers, you will love cardiac cowboys. Listen on the IHeart Radio app or wherever you listen to podcasts.

So we had like a kickoff celebration for one of the races, Lando, who races for Monster Energy, so I DJed that last night. I tried to get on the flight last night, but I guess because of the weather and everything that's been going on, the flight was the lead. So it was better

Although I just knows in the Caribbean, okay, and you are Latino and you're Dominican and Dominican, whatever the hell you want to be. You can be Dominique Wilkins for all I care.
Starting point is 00:05:04 But I'm going to tell you something else. We got a great show this morning, okay? Dr. Alfie Breet-Land-Nobo. She's a psychologist and scientist and author, founder of the Accoma Project. She will be here this morning to talk all things, mental health. And she'll be giving a recap of the fifth annual mental wealth expo that we just did this past weekend. And Stunner, 4th, Vegas, and Mona Leo. Yes, you got it right.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yes, because I was messing her name up yesterday. You hit me. But she has the record that Nila played in Paster Oaks a couple of weeks ago. It's called Solarin. That's the Blacks to the Back? Yeah, that's all the non-blacks to the back. See, that's what I called. Solon.
Starting point is 00:05:42 All the non-blacks to the back. Yes. Yep. Fantastic story they got, man. She is so lit. I love her. Yes. Yeah, we'll talk to them.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Well, let's get the show cracking. I know we better have some DeAngelo pulled up, man. We got us in the rest and peace to DeAngelo. R&B, uh, icon and legend. Absolutely. Horrible. And we got front page news next. You got a DeAngelo record?
Starting point is 00:06:03 All right. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Rest and peace again at DeAngelo. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:09 You hope you find a, uh, a kill for all forms of cancer in our lifetime, man. You with me both, man. Oh, that mercy. Jesus. We'll break that down. He was only 51 years old, man. Young. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:17 And could you, you know, we were talking behind the scenes, you know, could you imagine his son, who's 27 years old, had to bury mom, Angie Stone, a couple of months ago. And now pops. And rest in peace and condolences to that family, man. We'll break it all down in the latest with Lauren. But let's get in some front page news. All right. Now, let's start off with some Major League Baseball, some sports.
Starting point is 00:06:38 The Dodgers beat the Brewers last night, 5 to 1. And tonight, the Toronto Blue Jays played in Seattle Mariners at Game 3. That happens at 8 o'clock. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Envy. Jess Charlemaine, how y'all doing this morning? Thanks, Mimi. Bless Black and highly favorite.
Starting point is 00:06:52 How are you? Good, thank you. So we start this morning and wash. where we are now in day 15 of the government shutdown and there's still no deal in sight. Lawmakers yesterday, they tried for the eighth time to pass a bill to reopen the government, but it failed again. That vote was 49 to 45. It needs 60 votes to advance. That means hundreds of thousands of federal workers will remain without pay as the shutdown heads into its third week and frustration grows on both sides of the aisle. Meanwhile, over at the Pentagon,
Starting point is 00:07:22 another battle is brewing. Several major outlets are expected. to turn in their press badges today. This comes after the Defense Department rolled out a new media policy. Now, under the new rules, reporters who cover the military would have to sign an agreement promising to follow strict guidelines set by the Pentagon.
Starting point is 00:07:41 That includes getting stories pre-approved before publishing anything that hasn't been cleared by defense officials, even if the information is not classified. Now, if a journalist breaks that rule, the Pentagon could pull their press pass and bar them from entering the building, And this is not the first time the administration has been accused of trying to silence the press.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Here's what President Trump had to say in the past about media coverage. Let's listen to that. I'm a very strong person for free speech. But 97, 94, 95, 96% of the people are against me in the sense of the newscasts are against me. The stories are 97% bad. so they gave me 97 they'll take a great story and they'll make it bad see I think that's
Starting point is 00:08:33 really illegal personally I don't see why he wants to stifle folks free speech if there's defamation and you know sland it and you just file a lawsuit but if a person just has a negative opinion about you for whatever reason you either allowed him to have that opinion or you do things to make
Starting point is 00:08:51 them have a better opinion and you know having a government shutdown is not going to make people have a great opinion about you right now. Not at all. Absolutely. Put the military and other people's city ain't going to have people have a great opinion of you right now. Sorry, me. No, you're okay, Sean, I'm. You're right, though.
Starting point is 00:09:04 But I think with this, a lot of this is about facts. So if you're a journalist and you're reporting, you're just reporting the facts. You may not like the facts. And so, therefore, you feel like it's negative coverage, right? So I think that that's kind of what he's saying. But ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox News, they've all refused to sign before the deadline, which was 5 p.m. yesterday.
Starting point is 00:09:22 They say the policy gives too much power to the government. It makes it harder to hold military leaders accountable. So far, only one outlet has signed on, which is one American News Network, which is a right-wing cable-leaning out, a right-wing cable outlet that has generally been supportive of President Trump and his administration. Everyone else from major newspapers to wire services, they are walking away. So we will continue to watch what that looks like. And today is October 15. So if you filed for an extension, your taxes are due by midnight tonight. Now, even though the government is shut down,
Starting point is 00:09:58 the IRS wants you to know that you still have to pay Uncle Sam. And this applies to about 20 million Americans who asks for more time to file their taxes earlier this year. But the agency says the shutdown does not change your tax responsibilities. If you owe, you still owe. So most IRS offices are closed right now with about half of the workers furloughed. That's great.
Starting point is 00:10:20 But essential staff are still processing returns and keeping online services running. There are a few exceptions for people hit by natural disasters, some people in Arkansas, Tennessee, parts of California, Kentucky, and West Virginia. They have until November 3rd to file. But for everyone else, if you miss tonight's deadline, you could face penalties of up to 25 percent. How was America going to act like his business as usual when the business is close?
Starting point is 00:10:46 It's just wild. America's a joke at this point. That's crazy. Well, not even that. I want you to think about it. They're saying that you might not get your refund as. fast because the government is shut down but if you owe them and you got to file
Starting point is 00:10:57 your taxes they want it regardless that makes no sense that's crazy yeah I really couldn't sleep at night if I was a politician knowing that we are playing politics with people's lives like it's October 15th and the bill collectors are not giving anybody no grace the IRS not giving anybody no grace and I was reading a study
Starting point is 00:11:13 it's like between 50 to 67% of people are living paycheck to paycheck so at a time like this 50 to 67% of people are living paycheck to paycheck so people's lives are completely They're not getting their money right now. And they still have to pay. All right, well, coming up at 7, we all know social media can be a wild place,
Starting point is 00:11:31 but now AI wants in on the action. We'll tell you which apps is, which app's latest update is giving only fans energy. Girl. Hold on in selling ass. Wow. They're making it easier to sell ass? Yeah. Something like that.

I want to say one thing, though. I am so upset with Donald Trump because I deal with special needs kids all the time. And for him to dismantle, the special education department is so wrong. I can't stand with, you know, when things affect 65 and older and our kid.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And he's messing with the kids especially special needs kids. It is so wrong for that. And I just don't understand it. our kids need these benefits and for him to do that is so wrong can I ask a question like you know

Starting point is 00:18:40 Music icon, four-time Grammy winning singers songwriter and producer has passed away at the age of 51 after a private battle with pancreatic cancer. Very sad. His family released a statement yesterday that says The Shining Star Our family has dimmed his light
Starting point is 00:18:57 for us in this life. After prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce that Michael DiAngelo Archer, known to his fans around the world as DiAngelo has been called home, departing this life today, October 14th, 2025. We are sad and that he can only leave dear memories with his family,
Starting point is 00:19:13 But we are eternally grateful for the legacy of extraordinarily moving music he leaves behind. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time, this very difficult time, but we invite all of you to join us in mourning his passing, while also celebrating the gift of the song that he has left for the world. And that was from his estate. I then received a statement from his son. And there was a... So the statement I received from his son says that, you know, he was grateful for everybody's thoughts and prayers. that, you know, because his son, so Michael
Starting point is 00:19:45 Archer the second is DeAngelo's son with Angie Stone. So he mentioned, or the publicist mentioned in the statement that Michael was grateful for everyone starts and prayers and he was going to be strong like his mom and his dad taught him. But then Michael also posted
Starting point is 00:20:01 DeAngelo's son that he actually wasn't ready to make a statement that he had been by his dad's bedside throughout this whole time. So it was very difficult for him to experience all of this and that caused like you know a back and forth as well too and I actually got a chance to speak
Starting point is 00:20:17 to Michael yesterday after the whole statement mix up and you know he just out he's really grateful for everyone you know sending their love and the prayers but he talked about just how difficult this has been for him absolutely he's been through so much just lost his mom yeah just lost his mom as well
Starting point is 00:20:33 and he mentioned that you know during this time when the statements were released and all these things are happening and moving so fast he was just trying to deal with the fact that in real life his parents are not here anymore and he wants people to you know just remember that he's also a person as well and we had a really great conversation you also mentioned too that he will
Starting point is 00:20:49 eventually want to come out and talk about his parents and you know some of the memories that they've shared and just their legacies but not right now but he says you know he appreciates you know our platform as well for the time that we take you don't owe nobody no response no nothing at all like
Starting point is 00:21:05 so crazy like why would they even expect them to want to make a statement right now it's weird his mom passed away in March his dad passed away yes you know in the last couple of days why would they even with both of them yeah why would they even want him to make a statement i'm not i look i for me it after the the back-of-forth happened i was like i need to talk to him because i know what it's like to have a parent go through a battle like that and i just would never want to be a burden to somebody in that situation so our conversation was good i think you know um when he is ready
Starting point is 00:21:34 he says that he was on a personal it was very wanted to talk to him on a personal level not yes to get information or whatever to come back and report. Our conversation was I've been through this. I didn't lose my parent so I can't imagine what you're going through
Starting point is 00:21:48 but as a person I want to make sure you know that you don't have to say anything. Parents, yes, you don't have to say anything and he was... One was a tragic accident and rest of the Angie Stone
Starting point is 00:21:56 so that's stupid unexpected. And then the other you're watching your parent leave this earth. So yes, I think in that moment he just needed love and I didn't, you know, just send him some love
Starting point is 00:22:07 like he needs it right now Their family needs it right now, yes. But, yeah, the battle was private. And we've been talking a lot. I know behind the scenes we've been talking a lot about, like, people dealing with cancer and why is it so private? Especially because, like, you know, people expect for celebrities, Charlemagne, you said, why would people expect for him to make a statement?
Starting point is 00:22:29 People expect for celebrities to just divulge everything. But cancer is so, like, you just don't know what's going to happen. Well, it's very private. He's not a celebrity. He's not a celebrity. Not Michael. D'Angelo because a lot of people also too were having conversation yesterday about the fact that no one knew that this was happening because he kept the battle so private but when they say nobody knew who is nobody like we didn't know who cares about us snack of people yeah probably know the people that actually love him and care about him really pray for him and send him healing energy new yeah and you know I saw a lot of conversations yesterday about men and men needing to take care of health and I understand all these convos and I do even agree with a lot of them but cancer is no joke and I have not seen it discriminate. I've seen it impact people
Starting point is 00:23:11 with great healthy habits and I've seen it impact people with bad healthy habits. Yes. Yeah, that's why it's so scary. You just don't know. You don't know. Exactly. I do want to read Lauren Hill posted a tribute to him yesterday that I thought was very touching. She says people need reflection and this is her letter to De Angelou. She says, I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world and presence not of this world needs protection
Starting point is 00:23:40 in the world that covets light and the anoint of God. You sir, moved us, third us, inspired, and even intimidated others to action with their genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who have remembrance of the legacy and thank you for charting the course for in making space
Starting point is 00:23:56 during a time when no similar space really existed. You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in a black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness fear greed and all of the
Starting point is 00:24:11 all of the exploitation far from intentionally designed chaos that you my brother are in peace and bliss and eternal light and fulfillment with our father in heaven I love you I miss you may God grant you peace and shelter to your family friends my brother my king
Starting point is 00:24:24 yeah there was a lot of people pouring out love for him yesterday as you can imagine I saw Maxwell I saw so many other people posting things as well too so we do have some DeAngelo music but yeah just wanted to take the time to just have to conversation this morning. I wonder when he got diagnosed.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Like, when did he learn he had? Yeah. I'm not for sure. I didn't, I'm not for sure about that. I do know, though, that his son had been here in New York and his family had been here as he was going through things. So, but I don't know how long he's been battling it. Everybody out there who has survived a battle with cancer, God bless you, man.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Absolutely. Lord have mercy. Yeah. It's a nightmare. I'm telling you right now, when they get to the point where nanobots can kill cancer, I'm getting them put in. Yeah. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:25:08 All right. Well, last of the latest with Lauren, we're going to close out with some DeAngelo records. Front page news is next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess O'Lari, is Charlemagne de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some Front Page News. The last night in sports, Major League Baseball. Does anybody still love baseball? Are they still watching baseball? And I watched baseball since the 90s. When everybody was on steroids, that's when it was a great sport. People still do. People still watch it. All right. Well, last night, the Dodgers beat the Brewers 5 to 1. And tonight, the Blue Jays take on the Mariners game three at 808.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Now, what's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mee. Shalomaine, Jess, how y'all doing? Peace, Mimi. We're good, girl. Good morning. Okay, so we start this hour with the Supreme Court case that could reshape how voting rights are protected in America. So today, the court is hearing a case out of Louisiana that could make it harder for black voters to have fair representation.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Now, at the center of the fight is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This is the part of the law that lets voters challenge political maps that weaken minorities. voting power. The case centers on Louisiana's latest congressional map. So a lower court ordered the state to create two majority black districts instead of one since Louisiana's third of its population is black. But state leaders appealed arguing that it's unconstitutional to factor in race when drawing political lines. Now civil rights groups, they disagree saying ignoring race will erase representation and take the country backwards. Now, they warn that if the case, if the court sides with Louisiana, states across the country,
Starting point is 00:26:37 could stop creating majority black or Latino districts, reducing minority voices in Congress and in local government. Now, a new report from voting rights activists and advocates, they warn that overturning in Section 2 could allow Republicans to redraw up to 19 House seats in favor of them before the 26 midterm elections, and that would erase nearly 30% of the Congressional Black Caucus. The advocates are calling this case one of the biggest threats to the vote. voting rights law in decades, warning that if the court does side with Louisiana, it could
Starting point is 00:27:13 reshape democracy as we know it. I'm pretty sure that the voting rights act will be good. I think everybody just needs to go ahead and brace themselves for that. Yeah, I would have to agree with you. But we will keep watching and bring you the updates on that. And while that's happening in Washington over on social media, Instagram is cracking down on what teens can see and do. So this week, the platform announced new changes aimed at making the
Starting point is 00:27:37 app safer and a little bit more PG-13. Now after months of backlash over team safety, the company says is adding new limits on what young users can search and explore. One major change is called age gating. If an account already posts adult material like sexualized content, alcohol, or links to porn, teens will not be able to view that message or that page. It's also expanding banned search terms and hiding posts with strong language, sexual poses, risky stunts or drug use that's part of a broader effort to make the platform feel more PG-13
Starting point is 00:28:10 make it feel more like a PG-13 movie now the updates will only apply to teen accounts but the platform admits that many young users still lie about their age to get around restrictions Jess, Jess, we talked about this last week about how you can go and get around those things but Instagram CEO said they're working to catch that while also trying to strike a balance
Starting point is 00:28:32 let's listen to what he had to say I think we want parents to know. I think what we have to be careful of is the more aggressive we are about sharing with parents and the more aggressive are about restricting down teen accounts, the more of an incentive we're creating for teens to try to lie about their age and work around it, to get a second phone, to access Instagram just through the web, to have an account that they don't tell their parents about. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over,

Starting point is 00:31:36 For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen in investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling.

I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that you all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I forget. On her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

Starting point is 00:33:15 We want to empower parents, but we also want to make sure that we're not pushing teens too hard to try and hide from their parents as well. I understand that. That's exactly what you were saying, just last week. Because they're still going to get on it,
Starting point is 00:33:29 no matter what they're going to find a way. the internet is very addictive to everybody but especially kids children I'm gonna put my page on that too because I'm tired of seeing random TNA on my timeline What's TNA? It's just one page that be popping up and it'd be like a girl and she'll have clothes on
Starting point is 00:33:46 and then like in the split second she'd just be butt-necked and I'd be like why is this on my page and then it'll be like them poem bots them ladies will come in your comments and be like how come how come people get hard when they look at my page I'm in a video damn page Yeah, so I'm having sex on my story.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Like, they'll leave stuff on there. Yeah, yeah, it's for ClickBee for people to go to there. Well, if you delete keywords and you ain't got to worry about seeing that anymore, and there's somebody that we all follow that I get, I get paid to do that. I know exactly who you're talking about. And I stopped following last week. Don't say their name, but I know exactly who you talking about. Say it, say it, say.
Starting point is 00:34:21 So we all follow the same person, and they get paid to do it, and they'll have a girl on their page and then they'll be naked and then back, yeah. She'd be having her on clothes and they'd just be butt-necked. It can be in a random position, like sitting on the couch, and then in a split second, she'd be butt-necked on the couch. I'm like, what the hell? But you keep watching. No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:34:37 I don't want to see that. That's crazy. Well, I don't follow this. Well, I don't follow this. There's some melan in there. I might stick around. All right, y'all. Well, all these changes, they're coming after months of criticism that META is putting profits over safety.
Starting point is 00:34:52 So, again, those are teen accounts that are taking place this week. And while Instagram wants to keep things PG for teens over on chat. GPT, things are about to get a little bit more R-rated. So Open AI, the company behind the popular AI chat box, says it's rolling out new features that will let verified adults use chat GPT for romantic or sexual chats. So the company says it's part of its new treat adults like adults policy giving grownups more freedom to use the app however they want. So starting in December, verified users will be able to customize chat GPT's personality, including more human-like, flirty or emotional responses.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And yes, that includes allowing adult conversations for users who can prove they're over 18. That's crazy. You know what? I try to have a little sexual conversation with my chair. Yo, they wouldn't do it. That's so funny that they're starting to do that. Come back in December because it is rolling out.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Come back in December, it's hilarious. Because Open AI says they will, okay, so they're going to use age prediction technology to keep minors out. So if the system gets it wrong, you'll have to upload your photo ID to prove your age. Now, critics, they say the move could open the door for problems, especially with vulnerable users. But supporters say it's about personal freedom and letting adults decide for themselves. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:12 That is all you in December. Once you decide to go talk to somebody real. I mean, yeah, but for the people who can't do that, what you want them to do? I find somebody, man. Go decide to look in somebody eyes. You know what I'm saying? To have a conversation with the president. I know.
Starting point is 00:36:25 You're going to talk to them on chat GPT? But look, like, that's for, like, the Ed Gaines of the world. You know what I mean? Who can't be around people? Well, he does freakish things. So, CHPC need to be used for the egg gains of the world. I don't know, man. I think that this young generation really missing out on real cheeks, man.
Starting point is 00:36:40 That's all I'm going to tell you. Ain't nothing like that. I don't know what to tell y'all. I don't think nothing going to ever be real cheeks. But that's just my personal opinion. Don't listen to me. Okay. Yeah, well, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I'm going to need some more information about what you were putting in chat. I got you. I'm a girl, I'm a sex. I try to get, I try to get chat hot and bother it. He was like, I don't do that. Yeah. Okay, well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown.

Starting point is 00:37:57 Solon, Solani, either word. It's a new way to describe Black Americans. Black American, okay. Exactly. So it's like an interpretation of, like, black culture, black history, and it relates to, like, descendants of slaves specifically. I love it. So that's what the term represents.

Starting point is 00:38:45 The only color that I wear. Okay. How did you get him your husband to agree to that? I was like, we can compromise if you want to do red. She didn't have to do all that, though. You can do pink. It's her dad. You feel me.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I was with it. Right. Right. She didn't have to do it. all that you just love but you you love us so much you like I'm gonna just give her what she went oh I love that what made you finally want to
Starting point is 00:39:05 settle down sonna we being settled down it just like we put it on the internet just last month being together like four years for sure oh dope dope do my first year meeting though was like kind of when I was taking a break
Starting point is 00:39:18 falling back from like the lime light or whatever anything I was going through she probably not even probably she like help me get through whatever you've been everything like a homeboy would yeah I ain't never experienced that from no female you knew she was the one immediately like yeah easy like you like God told you like man you don't lock this one down easily and that black woman behind you I know that's right yeah how did you know he was the one yeah he was
Starting point is 00:39:48 just she was already a fan of me that's right hey don't know he got me so humble like She was a fan of me. That didn't mean that I knew he was the one. I just felt like he was just as intentional as I was, and I really appreciated that. And he took good care of me, the same way I wanted to take care of him. So I feel like we were on the same page at the same time.
Starting point is 00:40:13 I love that. What was the beauty of keeping everything off the internet? Like, what did? It was on the internet. It's just like they chose to bite down when they did. We've been popping out, though. Yeah. We've been, you know.
Starting point is 00:40:25 But it's good. It's just protecting. Something that's personal to us is something that we care about and we love. So it was like protecting our relationship was super important. But we both have supporters that have been with us on our journeys. So it was important to include them in these pivotal moments in our life like the wedding. I feel like that was a no-brainer. Like so many people support us and love us and have been rooting for our union.
Starting point is 00:40:49 So it was important for us to invite them virtually to the wedding. You had us crying, girl, when you posted the moment with your dad. I was like I literally was like oh my god and you talked about him going through his cancer battle and getting to see you married and like wow like that was really emotional for me so I just speak to like kind of you know you're emotional for you because my mom is a stage for a cancer survivor and one of the things that she's always asked me um why did you ask me why did you ask me that question okay her thing is now is like she's like I've been sick before where I want to see you be able to do things.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I don't know if I'll be able to be here tomorrow. So when you posted that, I was like, dang, like, time is of the essence. Like, it made me start thinking, like, wow, I want my mom to be able to see me get married and have kids. You know, like, I don't think people understand the cancer battle how scary that gets. That's true. Your mom will see you be successful before she see you get married. Shut up, I just went through that out there. Why did you make me cry?
Starting point is 00:41:47 You just trying to share. But when I saw your post and I read the caption, it just really made me think. Because, you know, when, you know, parents are always trying to be, like, superheroes. Always. Yeah. So even through my mom's cancer battle, she was like, it's going to be fine. Just make sure you get some grandbabies here because I want to see my grandbabies. But when I read that, I'm like, oh, like, this is serious.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Like, I got to figure this out. It was so serious. It was such an important moment for me to share with my dad. And I'm so glad you brought that up at the top of the interview because I can't wait for him to hear this. But even during his cancer battle, he was very secretive. He was private. He didn't tell anybody for his six months. Obviously, I feel like me being kind of tapped in spiritually.
Starting point is 00:42:29 I felt like something was going on with him. But he never had explicitly told me that he was battling cancer. I just saw him deteriorating in a sense. Like, he was getting smaller. And his hair was going. And I was just like, Dad, what's going on with you? Like, and he was distancing himself from me. Our son wouldn't even go to him no more.
Starting point is 00:42:49 My son wouldn't. And my son loves my dad. but he was he didn't every time my dad picked him up he would be crying and i was just like that something's going on and i just kind of pressured him a little bit and i was like tell me tell me what's wrong or or else and he and he showed me um his scans and i could see he had a real zoomed in so that i couldn't see that it said hodskins lymphoma but when i i took his phone and i literally took off running down the street and i zoomed out and i saw that it said hoshkins and phoma and i just bust out crying because it was such anymore i never seen my dad cough
Starting point is 00:43:22 sneeze me either have a cold none of the things so to know that he was that he was battling cancer um without my full support yeah really touch me and it really really really really hurt me but thankfully he um he's beat cancer um praise god yeah afterwards he i guess the chemotherapy had done a number on his heart so he was um he had heart failure and he had to have a triple bypass surgery that he also wasn't clear about either one thing about my dad he is truly Superman like he doesn't want to he doesn't want people worried about him even if it's something that I should be concerned about he doesn't want us to be worried about him so when
Starting point is 00:44:01 I found out what he was battling I was so emotional and I was so all over the place so and I kind of put if I'm being candid it put it made me want to expedite this the process for everything because I realized like I don't know what I was waiting on I think it was I was feeling the pressures from society and I'm like maybe I'm too young to be doing this You know, you think about all these things in your mind And then that kind of really snapped me back to reality And it made me live for myself and for my family For my village, for my community
Starting point is 00:44:30 So it kind of made me want to expedite the wedding process And we did it and to have my dad Walking down the aisle be there, yeah Yeah, walking me down the aisle was a dream Yeah Why do y'all think the adults, older adults, feel like keeping that from the kids is the right thing to do.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Like why fight a battle like that alone? It's scary. It's like a nightmare. Yeah. I don't think he knew. I think he wanted to keep hope. Yeah. But he was diagnosed at stage three.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Mm-hmm. Stage three, four. So he, I think he, he was optimistic, but I truly think he didn't know. And I think he wanted me to, you know, focus on... Stay on tour and stuff.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Yeah. And my tour and my, career he didn't want me to leave and abandon what I was doing because he know I would have done that. Is it true that you're you attempted suicide in the fourth grade? I did. As a baby you're a baby. I'm going to do a lot more now. Yeah. I was I don't know. Well I guess I was I was experiencing a lot as a kid that I really couldn't process and I I knew it didn't feel good. I didn't know exactly what was happening, but I knew it was like, this feels wrong to me. And I really
Starting point is 00:45:53 struggled with my self-worth, my self-confidence. And I was just like, why am I here? And I was feeling like that very young, very young. Fourth grade, I, that's true. That's my, that was my earliest, well, third grade is when I was feeling started. And then fourth grade is when I, like, started like, okay, let me figure out what I can do to not be here anymore. So it's starting and fourth grade and then it progressed through middle school, through high school, but I'm so grateful that
Starting point is 00:46:24 I don't feel that way anymore. I think residually those feelings, they kind of come up because it was so much of my life. I just kind of got accustomed to feeling to, you know, I had indoctrinated all of
Starting point is 00:46:40 these negative feelings and thoughts about myself so it got to a point where I was like, this is my being. This is my core being. I don't like. who I am. To the core, I hate who I am and what people have done to me and I felt like
Starting point is 00:46:53 I deserved it at a point in time but I know that's not true now. Your trauma is never your fault but your healing is your responsibility healing is my responsibility. When was that pivot? When did you realize like
Starting point is 00:47:06 I got a heal? I think I got to a point where I was like I'm tired of feeling this way about myself like there has to be more to life for me than just waking up every day and hating my existence. There has to be more to life. And
Starting point is 00:47:21 I started journaling because I had already gone through therapy and in my mind I told myself therapy doesn't work. This medication doesn't work. A lot of it was, what do you call it? Like, hardwired. So my
Starting point is 00:47:37 grandmother's struggle with her own battles. My mother's struggle, my sibling struggle. It's kind of like, I don't want to say it's heredity. but maybe it is. Maybe it's hereditary, so it was like, I got to a point where I was like, I can't do this anymore.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Like, I want to, I see everybody enjoying their life. I'm ready to enjoy my life. I'm ready to experience it in a lens that isn't coming from this trauma. Like, I want to see what life really has for me. And I started journaling. I started making music in that process
Starting point is 00:48:10 and really venting my frustrations and just kind of journaling via this rap via rap and it started off his rap I never thought I was going to be a rapper but it started off with rap because I was in that
Starting point is 00:48:24 angry phase of my healing I was just mad at the world mad at everybody for letting me down mad at my parents mad at people who did things to me just mad at everybody
Starting point is 00:48:34 it was everybody's fault so rap was like my first real outlet because I was able to vent these frustrations in a very aggressive way and it still helps me though to this day like I still will make
Starting point is 00:48:47 a real aggressive record but I feel like it's helping me come to a calmer place in a in the weirdest way it's like this weird juxtaposition I'll make the most aggressive song and I'm like all right I'm good I'm chilling for the rest I can chill now yeah like I said I grew I went through a lot
Starting point is 00:49:03 growing up I was abused please put a trigger warning on this too because I don't I'm not here to trauma dump but I'm just being candid because I prayed for this opportunity to get on breakfast club I actually wrote it in my journal five years ago 2020 I wrote this in my journal I will be on breakfast club before I was even putting music out so I'm just making sure that I do my due diligence to my younger self because I
Starting point is 00:49:26 told myself I was going to be here and I'm here and I want to seize this opportunity um to be candid and clear and concise well you're definitely supposed to be here thank you it it was God's plan for you not to take your life in the fourth grade at eight years old you are a baby you know so I'm glad that you are here and then you're breaking generational curses So when you got pregnant, what was that like? Because now you're a mother, you know, and you replayed things in your mind. Like, oh, my God, I grew up this way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:57 I'm not going to allow my son or my daughter because you didn't know what you were having at that time. I didn't know. To deal with her. But I kind of knew to a degree because I had a dream. One thing about me, I'm a dreamer. I feel like these spirits, they come to me in these dreams. My friends, I had a dream of my homegirl who passed away her name is Zavin. She told me in a dream that I was pregnant and that I was having a boy, the month that I can
Starting point is 00:50:15 conceived my son. So I feel like I kind of knew. She told me that one too. Yeah, I told him that too. Like a regular dream. Like a baby same became my dream last night, told me we having a boy. Yeah. So you all planned baby boy. Well, yeah, we did because we had a, um, candidly speaking, we had a miscarriage
Starting point is 00:50:31 at first, about nine months before then. Um, and that also, and I talk about this a lot too. And also, it's like, I talk about a lot of shit. I'm not trying to be the spokesperson for anything either. I want to make that very clear. I'm just, you're telling your life. I'm just detailing my experiences, so I don't want to...
Starting point is 00:50:48 Which is going to help. It's going to help. It's going to help because you don't realize how many people go through these things until you meet somebody who's ready to talk about it, and I'm ready to talk about it. There was a lot of... I had been told that I had these cysts. And then I went to... I got multiple different evaluations.
Starting point is 00:51:06 They were like, oh, yeah, you have a cyst. It's five centimeters, six centimeters. You need to be removed immediately. And then other people, other doctors were like, oh, I don't see any cyst. So it was just like... It was so much going on at the time. So when I found out that I was pregnant with my son, I was very protective over that process.
Starting point is 00:51:22 And I didn't even announce that I was pregnant until I was eight months. And then when we had them, we had a home birth at. Amazing. We had it in our kitchen. And my grandmother was there. My mother was there. Both my grandmothers, actually. His mom was there, his sisters.
Starting point is 00:51:36 My brother was there, his brother. My dad was there. It was a whole, and it was a very strange, experience because it was such a vulnerable experience for me but again it was one of those things that was like I feel like I feel called to do this
Starting point is 00:51:55 because my mother and my grandmother my mother had all C-sections with all her kids they told her she would never be able to deliver naturally or like vaginally they told her she would never be able to do that and that's a lie too by the way it's a lie they told my wife there for a second daughter and she had
Starting point is 00:52:11 we had our next two vaguely they told me the same thing they told me the same thing literally told me the same thing and then my grandmother she almost died having my mom she only has one child which is my mom
Starting point is 00:52:20 and she almost died to have nurses she never had any other kids so it was important for me to heal that trauma for the matriarchs in my family and show them that
Starting point is 00:52:29 because when I first told them they were like what are you thinking about like you're gonna have a baby at home are you sure they was telling her that she needed to
Starting point is 00:52:35 that she might have to do a C-section too yeah they were telling me and her mom was telling her that and her doctors were telling me that y'all might shouldn't do it in my house
Starting point is 00:52:44 but I don't want to advise anybody against any doctor's orders because there are doctors out there that are diligent and that are thorough with the work that they do but again I'm just going off of what I feel called to do and very early on within like the first six or 12 weeks of me being pregnant with my son I was like going back for it and I was like no I'm doing a home birth yeah so I got a midwife I got a doula and I have my family that's what yeah we got a we got a doula we got a third and fourth that's the best way I had natural births or y'all just had a duel at the hospital to advocate for y'all
Starting point is 00:53:17 my wife had a natural birth not because she wanted to on the third one it was happening so fast yeah it was something going on with the hospital where it was she always gets mad because I tell the story wrong but it was something they couldn't get the epidurals or something like that so she ended up having a natural but she we just decided to get a doer for the third and fourth just because it's so hard
Starting point is 00:53:32 when black women go to the hospital like you can't play with that shit the way the black maternal death rate is exactly so that was all that was on my mind I wanted to take care of myself yeah beating down your block that was my answer them for like three years. Yeah. I'm not playing.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Did you expect that song to be as big as it? I expected it to change my life. I don't know about, I didn't know exactly what the parameters. I didn't know how big it was going to get, but I knew it was going, I knew it was pivotal in my life.
Starting point is 00:53:58 And when I talk about journaling and writing that I was going to be on breakfast club, this is around the time that I made that song. I was like, yeah, I'm going to be on breakfast club. I'm going to be getting an interview. I'm being plaques. Like, I knew I had a feeling in my bones that that song was going to change my life.
Starting point is 00:54:14 and it did just that. I love it. And I'm at that second phase, too. I feel like these next few songs that I'm dropping in this project, I feel like it's also going to elevate my life. I feel like even sexy solon has elevated my life to a degree with all the good and the bad talk about it. And also thank you, Charlemagne, for posting that for me.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I appreciate you for exposing that to an audience who might not have seen that, an older audience that, like my dad, my mom's generation, who might not have seen it. I feel like it definitely is taking my life to a new tier, new fans, new levels. It causes conversation too. It causes conversation, which was fine. I'm cool with the good. I'm cool with the bad.
Starting point is 00:54:53 I just wanted to usher in the conversation. What I love about it, you were still a little too nice. She was like, you were just telling the non-blay people to go to the bag. You didn't say, get out. No. You just say, just go to the bad. I just said create a level of, you know, separation to a degree. Not trying to segregate.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I'm just saying, like, give us our space to congregate, frattenize fellowship for two minutes. I wanted to create a space for black Americans to turn up and have a good time. Black people in general. I know people were like, well, is this for Black Americans? It was like, I wanted to promote
Starting point is 00:55:26 Black unity and Black community, which is why you see me depicted, cloaked in this Black American Heritage's Black, which I want to encourage people to support and buy straight from the source. You can get it on Black Lettick, wear Black Lettics, not sponsored, by the way. I knew you had something.
Starting point is 00:55:39 When I went to go search the song that morning on YouTube and all I saw was reaction videos, the people upset yeah oh yeah they was mad he literally did that in here like how like is this i was like it's really this mad already i'm like when this song came out it's only six days ago exactly they were mad i was i expected white people to be mad i really don't give a damn what right people think about me i expected for them to be mad i got that that made sense to me because white people his his thing with white people and it's not that i'm saying that all white people are bad right you know they'd be saying my like i got a black best friend
Starting point is 00:56:13 friend. My best friend is white. You know? Just taking a page out of their book. So it's not that I'm saying white people are bad, but I think... She wasn't in the video. She wasn't in the back. She had to see her in the back. She had to see her in a lot of Latino.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Somebody said that to me this morning. They was like she got a Latino best friend. Oh my God, just because she's had it. I promise you, somebody said that to me. She's so misunderstood. Shout to KT. That's my best friend. But it's like, I feel like white people.
Starting point is 00:56:43 What they need to understand is that they've been conditioned a certain type of way under this, because I feel like racism is a fundamental issue, and they've been conditioned to this certain type of teaching and a certain type of way subconsciously. So I feel like consciously, it needs to be called out and it needs to be unlearned. That's my only thing that I want to make clear. It's not that I'm saying all white people are bad. So they were mad. I didn't give a damn about that.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I didn't care. and they were like, well, what if white people made a song like this? White people have done worse. Let's be clear. They've done way worse in real life. And there is a song, actually. I saw it the other day. It was a song.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Oh, the one about Lynchin? Exactly. Exactly. So it's like, what the hell are we talking about? Yeah. What are we talking about? But yeah, I expected it to be mad, but I didn't expect for so many people in my community to be upset. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:37 And then I kind of, like, did my homework. And I'm like, well, what is it that is upsetting people? And I got down to the root of it And I'm like, all right, I see What's happening here I can't I can't do all this Right This is too much
Starting point is 00:57:49 All I'm gonna say is what I wanted to clearly Articulate and that was Like I said, black community Black love, Black unity And detail these Like I said shared experiences across the diaspora That we can't control Our grandmothers are very similar
Starting point is 00:58:05 Yeah So I wanted to detail that Sometimes you just gotta tell people It's a black thing you wouldn't understand You wouldn't get it It don't need an explanation. They don't need no explanation. And it should be, actually should be gate kept.
Starting point is 00:58:15 I think a lot of our culture should be kept close to us. Because, you know, white people that keep, whatever they want to keep close to them is kept very close to them. There's a lot of shit that's kept away from us. And I feel like we should have the same pride and integrity about our culture. And it's not about being exclusionary. It's just showcasing a level of pride and reverence and respect for what's been put in place historically. Is that Don Huileo record?
Starting point is 00:58:39 Is that really about Stunner for Vegas? like answering the phone? Yes, it was. Why you ain't answer the phone? Why you ain't answered the call? Made a good song. A blessing on your line and you ain't pick up stunter? Get him.
Starting point is 00:58:48 I called her back. He called me back halfway through the song and I was up. She didn't even did no shit like that. Not even, I'll just make the song. She just sitting to say that in the interview. I should know, but I was being honest, though. Because everybody's like, when you lie, you got to keep up with the lie. So I feel like the first time somebody asked me,
Starting point is 00:59:08 what was the origin of the song I was just like oh yeah this is what happened because it was just like the most readily available answer that I had which was the truth maybe I probably shouldn't said that but it was true I mean he called me back halfway through the song but I was already knee deep I was like oh no I was already I was bobbing I was loving the song I knew it was a hit
Starting point is 00:59:26 there was no point of her to be I shouldn't say that what was you doing why you're shooting a video oh oh well I mean it happens every now and then it might happen you know she said she's looking at you decide out of that his story he better stick to it no I was really shouldn't be to that I was calling him and I was like why is he not? I don't be doing no sucker shit bro
Starting point is 00:59:46 I don't even like when like a normal person walk up to us and joke about that song I'll be ready to be like bro I'll slap I should have said that hopefully it's not nobody with me for a little brother to be like bro we'll slap the shit
Starting point is 01:00:01 me for real I don't even play like his bros is crazy Who did the body comes out this Friday? This Friday. 17. Yeah, this Friday. Burr.

Starting point is 01:01:14 On the breakfast club Talk to me Yesterday we talked about Stephen A. Smith In Alexis O'Han Who is the husband of Serena Williams And they're back and forth Even though it was via
Starting point is 01:01:27 Like Zoom or digital Because Stephen A Smith wasn't in the studio Charlemagne shared some comments On how he felt about You know their Their brief interaction and Alexis Ahanian has now responded to Charlemagne. I want to take a listen first to what Charlemagne said yesterday
Starting point is 01:01:43 about Alexis checking Stephen A. Smith. I don't see nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't a real pull-up. A pull-up is when the person is there and you say what you need to say to the person's face. I know Alex is a busy person, but when First Take I asked him to come on, he should have said, is Stephen A going to be there? And when they said he's going to be there remotely, he should have said I'll wait until he's in studio,
Starting point is 01:02:03 if he really wanted to say something in his face. Well, what if they, they was like, look, this is the only chance. You don't get the call to play. Okay, I'm rich. I'm Alex. Y'all want me here. Y'all need me more than I need your off. How silly.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yes, but he's promoting something, too. I mean, he needs to be there. You've got to kill two birds and one stone. You can come promote your thing, but I need to say this to Stephen A's face. I stand on that. It's not a real pull-up. A pull-up is when you look at somebody in their eye, okay? Are you are crazy?
Starting point is 01:02:28 I disagree. It's Alex O'Henianian, like, what are you talking about? I'm a bird man. My baby, you know, Evie. but I will say this I didn't say it's nothing wrong with what he did I'm just saying a real pull-up the way the audience was acting
Starting point is 01:02:40 I thought that he was in the studio the way the audience went crazy but Stephen A ain't say it to his face so he wasn't there I'm just saying that you're going to show up to the person's house and then say it uh you know when the person's on Zoom that's cool
Starting point is 01:02:51 but a real pull-up is face-to-face icon yeah I see I'm pulling up regardless I don't care if you're on FaceTime if you're on the phone it is right when I get a chance to talk to you I'm going to talk to you but I didn't think it was a real pull-up he didn't say directly yo I ain't like what You said about my wife during this time.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Charlie is crazy in the studio right now. I seem so goddamn crazy all the time. You are crazy. And envy crazy for a second in you, too. You all be acting like I'm so goddamn crazy. I wasn't there. In the new podcast, hell in heaven. Two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over.

No, no, nah, what you said about my wife, like say, like directly to it, like get to it, right? Like, even if it's on FaceTime, if it's on Zoom, if it's on Skype, if it's on black planet and Facebook. Maybe that's the way to check people, maybe that's his way of checking people.
Starting point is 01:07:58 But, Tegger, we wouldn't even, that was at the end of their conversation. Yeah. The conversation would have started with, hey, yo, before we even get into anything. Remember what you said about my wife? Right? I didn't, envy done. You've seen Envy assed that in studio. In studio, though.
Starting point is 01:08:14 I didn't do that in the middle of interviews. Empirri. In the studio, yes, she did do it. Yeah. I don't care. Because, you know, if you want to check somebody, I'm just, I'm light skin. I can't hold it until after the interview. I got to, we got to talk now.
Starting point is 01:08:25 We can't even talk now. We can't even. I'd be all peace and cool until I get this out the way. Yeah, I get it. But maybe Alexis is like, okay, business first, but I'm not leaving it until I confront you about what you're saying. He didn't confront him. He responded.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Well, Alexis responded yesterday. He says, he added Charlemagne, he says, all my friends call me Alexis because you called him Alex. And I asked to come on first take the chat with Stephen A. Smith for quite some time. Keep in mind, I own a handful of pro sports team and started a T. There's plenty of sports stuff to talk about. And my publicist kept getting told it wasn't going to happen. Then I went to the top
Starting point is 01:08:58 And made it clear I wanted to come on the show To chat in person And they let it happen Then I found out when I got to the studio That Stephen A. Smith was remote From Atlanta that morning Odd timing
Starting point is 01:09:08 But I'm back to building now And he talks about his businesses And he says he has no ill will Towards Stephen A. Smith But if that was the case then All right, does y'all arguing that he didn't really pull up Stephen A didn't stand on what he said
Starting point is 01:09:19 Even I'd have said I said, I mean I get what you're saying Brother, you know what I'm saying All respect to your wife But I said what I said She was doing too much of the Super Bowl. Oh, I agree. That stuttering and stammer and shouldn't have happened,
Starting point is 01:09:31 especially via Zoom. We're not even in the same room. Yeah. I agree. Yes. Well, there we go. Envy, you good? You pull up King.
Starting point is 01:09:39 No, I'm good. I mean, I got to make sure. Don't pull up on me. If somebody disrespect you, I think you check it immediately. There's no playing around the games. There's no world. No, directly. I didn't like what you said about my wife.
Starting point is 01:09:50 That's all I'm saying, man. You have a problem on my wife. Let's discuss it now. And after we have that discussion, we could continue on. But there's some things I need to get off my job. chest we've all been there before and they had to get some things off our chest that's all i'm saying he told that man very caucasantly to stay in your lane what did you expect for him to do all that phone i don't care the phone stuff to zoom stuff that's this new era
Starting point is 01:10:07 we come from there when you eye to eye that's a real pull-up like yes oh he they really pulled up on him okay well in other news speaking of people that uh might have to pull up and figure some things out uh nicky minage so nicky minage yeah so nicky minage yeah so nicky minage is reported right now that Nikki Minaj allegedly is in risk of losing her $20 million home in L.A. after not paying that headline. That headline sounds so stupid. I'm going to continue. I'm going to explain though because
Starting point is 01:10:36 Nikki Minaj has responded to this. So Nicky Minaj is allegedly might be losing her $20 million home in L.A. after not paying a man who her husband alleges that her husband assaulted back in 2019. But Nikki Minaj Minaj is saying that this is all just a business mix up.
Starting point is 01:10:53 So background, there is a man that filed a a lawsuit for assault against Kenneth Petty, who was Nicky Minaj's husband. This guy was a security guard that was working with Nicky Minaj during the show, and he alleges that Kenneth hit him after Nicky
Starting point is 01:11:08 Minaj got upset at a female security guard and alleged that guard allowed somebody to come on a stage. There was like a whole thing. So he filed a lawsuit. In court, this went to court. They did not show up in court, and so this man is able to now say, hey, she owns this home. A judge is saying
Starting point is 01:11:24 the home can satisfy some of the things that you're asking for because he asked for $500,000 so we're here. So Nikki and Kennav didn't show up the court. Their attorney or who. Okay. Now let me, so Nikki Minaj, early this morning she posted she reposted some of the stories and she says I have
Starting point is 01:11:39 evidence that this was given to a business manager who never told me. My lawyers and business managers old and new are aware. Let's see if they'll speak up or if they'll have to call them out by name. That same business manager stole from me many times she alleges. Then he was accused of
Starting point is 01:11:56 killing a woman and leaving her in a hotel, she alleges. Not sure of the outcome of the case, though, and she's talking about the woman in the hotel room. So basically, Nikki Minaj is saying that this is all just a mix-up that is going to be figured out, and she was upset at some of the headlines that ran
Starting point is 01:12:11 following on this. I would be too. Well, first of all, they're probably going to go to court. This is the same thing that happened to Tray Song a couple of months ago when it was a big ruling against him, but he didn't know to go to court. And as soon as his lawyers filed, that was taken away immediately. That's going to be the same think but now y'all really think nicky is about to lose her $25 million home and the uh she was only
Starting point is 01:12:33 losing what $500,000 so you think she was going to lose her $25 million home over $500,000 I didn't even know the case to be honest it's been so many different that's not even sound right you're saying numbers that I can't even relate to I'm yeah I'd be acting my wage so I see headlines like that I'm my business they started talking about the number of bedrooms in this house I'm like Nicky not losing that $25 million home you can hate Nikki y'allie y'allie y'allie y'all I could love Nikki, but she has a $25 million home, and the judgment was for $500,000. There's no way that she would have to be forced to sell a $25 million home for that money.
Starting point is 01:13:05 There's no way. That doesn't even make sense. Hey, man, I act my wage. You right, my share. I act my wage. I don't know nothing about this type of conversation, okay? Yes, you do act your wage and be in China and in Greece and you paying for the wedding. You do extra wage.
Starting point is 01:13:20 I know that's right, big money. Man, I'm working. I'm working crazy. I know. It went in it up all over the country. and out of the country. That's right. Well, I'm about to ask Chris if he needs any help doing anything.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Absolutely. He can build the stage for you. By itself. Just give him a hammer and a few nails. He'll figure it out. Drop on the clues bombs from Chris and every Mexican out there. We appreciate you, man. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:13:45 What the hell is going on in this country? Just be here legally. That's all we are. Shut up. As we rap and speaking of stage, is Nikki Minaj also posted that she is not going to put out the album anymore. no more music and she says Oh my God, no, what?
Starting point is 01:13:58 She added Jay Z and asked Was he happy now? She said she called the barbs on the barb phone and they said, no, don't put out the music. Now, I know she's not blaming that headline on Rock Nation. She's talking about...
Starting point is 01:14:10 Like, come on, let's stop now. Come on, we don't got to be ridiculous now. What's that T-shirt you wear all the time, Solomon? What's that T-shirt did you wear? Blame Rock Nation? There you go. Yes, damn.
Starting point is 01:14:20 You missed the Q to wait. I missed my flight yesterday. You know why? Rock Nation. I know Rock Nation. That's ridiculous. She says that they've been begging her for a tour and she just can't do the tour right now
Starting point is 01:14:29 and she goes into a whole bunch of things with Rock Nation she said it's no just like the casino and she at SC who is that's supposed to be Jay Z's like anonymous total page so just want to let you know but if it changes the music will be here March 27 so we'll yeah that's it. That's pretty all right that's the latest with Lauren
Starting point is 01:14:48 and salute to Rock Nation by the way good morning I just wanted to say good morning to my salute to Emery, man. All right Sholomey who he giving me a donkey too man? Man for after the Well, let's talk nuts. We need a Garnetta Hoppings to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her. He's so clowned out.
Starting point is 01:15:02 All right. We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Hey, I made it. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Hi, bitch.
Starting point is 01:15:09 He hi. It's time for donkey of the day. I'm a big boy. I can take it if he feel I deserve it. There ain't no big thing. I know Shalamanic guy going on funny. Funny shit out of his mouth. This guy says something you may not agree with.
Starting point is 01:15:19 It doesn't mean I mean. Who's getting that donkey. That donkey. That donkey. Donk, don't, don't, jocky of the day right here. The breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Yeah, donkey today for Wednesday, October 15th, goes to a 45-year-old woman from Toledo, Ohio,
Starting point is 01:15:38 named Giannita Hoppings. Okay, Giannita has recently turned herself in on charges of felonious assault and aggravated burglary. Who did Gianneta assault and who did she burglarize? Well, let's go to ABC 13 for the report, please. The warrant is out for the arrest of a Toledo woman accused of breaking into a man's home, then cutting one of his testicles. Toledo, police looking for Janita Hopings. We're going to show you a picture from 2012 of Hopings. Police believe the 45-year-old woman went to the home of someone she knows yesterday, kicked down the door, kicked open the door.
Starting point is 01:16:10 The guy living there told police he heard someone breaking in, so he ran down the stairs, but he didn't have any clothes on. That's when Hopings allegedly attacked him cutting one of his testicles. He had to go to the hospital for treatment. and Hopings is charged with felonious assault and aggravated burglary. She tried to hack off his happy sack, okay? How are you breaking my house and try to trim my tender twins? Ladies, ladies, ladies, do I have to be the one to tell you
Starting point is 01:16:36 that when you're in a relationship with a man or dealing with a man, as soon as you do something like Giannetta did, the man wins? You think you hurt him by cutting his dangly bicks, but really, you hurt yourself more. Let's just say the man is cheap. on you okay i understand you being upset i understand emotions can override logic but you can't allow it to because while you in jail okay and then you know fighting to stay out of prison having to spend money
Starting point is 01:17:03 on a bond and lawyer fees and all types of stuff that man is still going to be out here living his best life with other women okay those same jiggly jims you cut will be sucked on by another woman while you trying to figure out how to pay your legal fees and i'm gonna tell you another part of the story that's nuts to me okay according to 13 hours action news, you just heard it. The victim told investigators that he heard someone break in. So he ran downstairs to see who it was, and he did not have on clothes at the time. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but this is why I keep some basketball shorts and a t-shirt on the floor by the bed.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Because God forbid, okay, someone breaking into my house. First thing I'm grabbing is the clothes, the clothes I'm putting on, and the pistol, okay? Are you crazy running downstairs, butt-necked? because you thought someone broke into your house? Why the hell would you want to meet your intruders' butt-ass naked? The only butt-necked men that could scare burglars when they break in is Fleece Johnson and Diddy. Okay? Seriously, men, I need y'all to be better prepared.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Keep some basketball shorts, sweatpants, a t-shirt, a hoodie by the bed, just in case. Not to mention, my brothers, if burglars break in your house and you butt-necked, you might find out why pirates call treasure booty. But I don't want a victim shame here, okay? Giannetta is the issue. We have to find more rational ways to deal with our emotions. No man is worth you going to jail over. Now, I don't know the extent of her relationship with this man,
Starting point is 01:18:31 but I know she has an electric monitor on now, and the judge ordered her to have no contact with the victim, all because she decided to break in a man's house and cut his pillow pebbles. And by the way, I'm not even mad at her for cutting his coin purse because he had his crown royal bag exposed for the world to see If you think you're going to get in an altercation with someone butt-necked and they're not going for your chuckle nuggets, then you are insane. Listen, the moral of the story is this. Don't make lifelong choices in moments of short-term emotion because those feelings will fade.
Starting point is 01:19:06 But those consequences, they don't. Please give Giannetta Halpings the sweet sounds and the hamletones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. While the doggie Of the day, Yee-ah! If you think that man about to be living his best life With one nut?
Starting point is 01:19:33 He ain't losing, it just got cut? It got cut off. What are you talking about? They ain't say cut off now. You did say that. You said he cut one of, she cut one of his testicles off. I did not say off.
Starting point is 01:19:43 I said cut, she cut, she cut it. Like a nice ball. I think you ball shaming because if somebody's robbing house he didn't have time to put on his underway. He ran downstairs. We all sleep naked. And second of all, you want to play a game? Somebody said on the chat, Charlemagne keeps booty shorts
Starting point is 01:19:57 and a crop top by his bed. I will fight you, bro. This is why we got to get the no, the other one. What's that stuff they have on the movies where you can pop up in people house? I can't wait until that technology happened. Okay. You're a clown. But no. But no.
Starting point is 01:20:13 You got to want to play a game? You want to play a game? Sure. All right, let's play a game of Guess! Yes! What? Bracey! All right, Giannetta Hoppings from Toledo, Ohio, broke into her, I guess, her boyfriend's house, and cut his testicles. DJ Envy, guess what? Race is. White.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Damn. Why do you say that, sir? I don't know. You're thinking about Lorraine and Bobbitt? That's where your mind's going? A little bit. I think anybody else would go for other places, but going for the testicles? But he was naked, though.
Starting point is 01:20:48 But you still got to aim for It's not like that's a small thing It's not like how big his balls work Yeah you don't know where he was begging or wasn't begging You're right It's because you got to It's because your balls are closer to your body Don't mean that it wasn't hanging
Starting point is 01:21:00 Crazy wow Don't talk of my body I'm sorry I don't want to make your mouth water this morning Invie I know how you get Okay Now Jess hilarious Janita Hopkins of Toledo Ohio
Starting point is 01:21:10 Broke into her boyfriend's house And he cut his testicles Guess what Gracious Damn Janita I forgot the Janita All right, go. Huh?
Starting point is 01:21:19 Me. Me? Down! Correct. And then nobody knows what he did to get them little balls pooped. You don't know where he did. You do not know what he did
Starting point is 01:21:31 while she was breaking the house and listen, because you know what I think? He ran downstairs. I think he knew who exactly who it was. He ran downstairs because he had somebody upstairs. That was his, that was her boyfriend. And she was coming over there
Starting point is 01:21:42 because it was another woman in the house. Yeah, the fact he ran down the stairs naked lets me know he kind of knew. Yeah. Big cheating, and when you play silly, stupid games, you win silly stupid prizes. Now you've got a nick on them nuts, and that's exactly what he probably get, allegedly. Sounds like you've been there before. DJ Envy, Jess Alarious, one of you is correct, one of you is wrong,
Starting point is 01:22:04 and Jess Alarious, you are absolutely positively correct. Giannettta Hopkins is you. She's a full, don't play blown to Evans. She's a four, blown niggra. A nigger is crazy And she's smiling Like I do it again I get the other one

Starting point is 01:22:34 Now when we come back Dr. Alfie Briland Noble will be joined us Such a ballad show we are Dr. Alphe Briland Noble is a psychologist, scientist Arthur founder of the Accoma project She runs my mental wealth alliance and shit will be here to talk about
Starting point is 01:22:48 the Mental Wealth Expo we just had this past weekend And other things You know That's right We go from balance Ballard Shillow to this We go from next to mental health Hurry and another show
Starting point is 01:22:58 I can do it like this Oh my goodness All right, it's the breakfast club Good morning The Breakfast Club Morning everybody It's DJ NV Just hilarious
Starting point is 01:23:09 Salomey and Guy We are the Breakfast Club We got a special guest in the building My partner That's the Alfie Bree land Noble. Good morning, Dr. Alp. Good morning. How are you doing? How are you feeling? I'm good. I'm good. I'm here with y'all. Good. What could be better? Absolutely. We just had another successful
Starting point is 01:23:24 Mental Wealth Expo. Yes. It was the fifth annual. It was awesome. It was such a wonderful I'm going to tell you this. Newark, I love Newark. That audience, girl, the energy, they were like locked in and they were paying attention and they were responsive and they were just so kind. And so I love that we were in Newark and that we went there this year. The venue was fantastic New Jersey Institute of Technology. Everybody there was really cool. So it was fantastic. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:53 What are some of the things that you took away? Like, did people open up to you about certain things? They always do. Like, I end up with like a line of people because I think people would be trying to get free therapy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think what I learned was that there's so much need out there.
Starting point is 01:24:08 And I learned a lot. My son was on stage at one point. I learned a lot from Jason Wilson. I learned a lot from a lot of the different people who were on stage. But I think the main thing I learned was that black people actually do want healing, right? People act like we just out here wilding and like we don't care about our mental health and we don't care to take care of ourselves. But we do.
Starting point is 01:24:29 Like, you know, and everybody's not on this hustle, grind, push through, you know, at all cost type of culture. So what I feel like I saw in people was a real hunger and desire to get tools to help them with their mental health. I also learned, I mean, I knew this, but the people love Charlemagne. Yeah. And they really appreciate and respect what he's trying to do with putting these resources out into the community and talking about his own mental health. And I think the final thing I learned is, or that was just reinforced for me was how loving black people are. Yeah. We are some loving, welcoming people.
Starting point is 01:25:03 And I just felt so much positive energy at that event, met so many wonderful people whom I hadn't met before, whom I admired from afar. And I have to say this. Deontay Wilder is the nicest. That brother is a sweetheart. He was just a doll. And so it was really wonderful to be able to be in that space and have people come donate their time to us and take care of people.
Starting point is 01:25:24 And again, the Newark folks, shout out to Newark because those are some good people. Yeah. I love Newark, man. You know, my father lived in Newark for many, many years. Oh, yeah, I got a lot of family in Newark, so Luttholdom and Kelvey's in Newark. But the interesting thing about Deontay,
Starting point is 01:25:38 well, two things. I feel like the Mental Welfth Expo is a safe space. right yes and I think it's more important now than ever for black people to create spaces where we can feel safe yes but we can you know experience joy and we can be informed yes and man when you see Deonté wild to sit on that stage and open up like this is the former heavyweight champion of the world literally knocks people out for a living for him to open up and you know talk about you know his experiences and the things that he's been through you know how hurt and
Starting point is 01:26:08 betrayed you know he's felt throughout his life and how vulnerable he's How Habonabro he was, man, that let a lot of people, that allowed a lot of people that allowed a lot of people who let their guard down. I think so. And I, you know,
Starting point is 01:26:18 I was just so shocked by how open and transparent he was about who's hurt him in his life. I heard him talk about people who look close to him and his family and, you know, you can see the pain in his eyes about like having to walk through that terrain
Starting point is 01:26:32 and kind of figure that stuff out. And he's not alone, right? Because I look at you all and what you've been able to achieve in your lives and I would never speculate, but I can only imagine how difficult it would be to have the people who are closest to you
Starting point is 01:26:45 you know people got the hands out you know I understand you know some folks are struggling but like people don't sometimes give their loved ones the opportunity to sort of own their power and be in their space without wanting something I'm not saying people always do that but I would imagine that what you really want just be happy for me you know what I'm saying like be happy for me and support me and lift me up and don't ask me for a whole bunch of stuff I mean I get it
Starting point is 01:27:12 People need help and I think people like Deontay will probably are very open to helping folks. But it's just the idea that some folks don't get the opportunity to enjoy what they've built because they're struggling with these things sort of pulling at them. You know what I mean? And that duality is got to be hard. So I just really appreciate how transparent he was so people can understand. Like I've heard Mary J. Blige say this just because we have a lot. You know what I mean? Doesn't mean that we don't have struggles.
Starting point is 01:27:39 And he was able to share that with people. And it's big responsibility that come with having a lot. You know what I mean? Like, I don't live the same as I used to. You know, I have more kids than I used to. You know, I have a whole other life, you know, that I'm working towards building. And then a lot of times all people like Deontze and myself, you know, I guess, you know, one, it's just call me and ask how I'm doing. Yep.
Starting point is 01:28:02 Because I'm not always okay. Yep. You know what I mean? Yep. And although, you know, I don't trust people enough to just open up. Also, I don't really have a lot of people that's like, oh, you good? Yep. You are, you look down today.
Starting point is 01:28:12 What's up? Like, you know, like, that matters. Yes. And so when you say, it reminded you Saturday that black people are the most loving people. We are. We really are. And a lot of times we stand in our own way of that, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:27 That's such a good point. Like, I love that you said, sometimes you just want somebody to check on you. Yeah. It can't always be that people like you all are out here in the public eye and everybody's eyes are focused on you. And the assumption is that you don't struggle or that you don't have things that you worry about. You know what I mean? Or you don't have things that you're trying to work through.
Starting point is 01:28:47 And so the idea, particularly for us as sisters, the idea that we like are the backbone, I feel like Atlas. I was a classics minor in undergrad at Howard. Like we got the world on our backs and we just kind of bent over. And we're not. You know what I mean? And I think what that feeds is this notion that we're not allowed
Starting point is 01:29:06 to put stuff down and be vulnerable, allow ourselves to rest. Shouts out to the sister at the NAP ministry where she talks about rest is resistance. And so I love that you brought up this point of taking care of yourself. You didn't say it in this way, but part of how you take care of yourself is you look for those spaces and look for those people who are going to check in on you. Yeah. That's where you get. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end.
Starting point is 01:29:39 up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts.
Starting point is 01:30:14 Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Ed Helms, and welcome back to Snafu, my podcast about history's greatest screw-ups. On our new season, we're bringing you a new snafu every single. single episode. 32 lost nuclear weapons.

Starting point is 01:31:01 You're here. What was that like for you to soft launch into the show? Sorry, Jenna. I'll be asking the question. today. I forgot whose podcasts we were doing. Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich.
Starting point is 01:31:18 So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of Snap-Fu with Ed Helms on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. People called them murderers. Ten years later, they were gods. Today, no one knows their names.

Sponsored by Jasper, AI Build for Marketers. All I know is what I've been told. And that's a half-truth is a whole lie.
Starting point is 01:32:11 For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved. Until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said.
Starting point is 01:33:01 They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up.

Starting point is 01:33:56 like you deserve to put that down too. And I love watching you and your little boy, the oldest one, on socials, and it just tickles me because he's delightful and he's adorable. Thank you. But he needs to see Mommy have some rest and peace, too, because that teaches him how to treat the women in his life as he grows up. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:34:14 Yeah. Yeah. You know, you mentioned how in a recently, Kamala Harris said, losing the election caused her to grieve in a way that was similar to the way she grieved, the loss of her mother. Can you speak to what that might have meant from a clinical perspective? Because people act like, they hear like, what do you mean? Like losing the election felt like your mother dying. Like as if the two couldn't both be, you know, impactful to cause that level of grief. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:39 When I think about grief, you know, people have different theories. There's seven stages of grief. There's five stages of grief. Grief is really just our way. I heard her in the actor. I think the name was Andrew Garfield, played Spider-Man, say once that grief is just your way of expressing all the love that you have for someone that you didn't get to express when they were alive. And I was like, ooh, that's like hit me in the heart.
Starting point is 01:35:01 And I think the idea of grief is really just processing loss. right loss is not just a human loss can be anything loss can be a relationship loss can be you know losing a love when I lost my mom actually 19 years ago about a month ago it was 19 years and my
Starting point is 01:35:19 sorority sister and my fellow A.U. Bison one day I'm going to meet that sister I love Big Sister General Kamala Harris and I think if you think about what she put into 107 days right when you think about what she had to endure the things that she was not allowed
Starting point is 01:35:34 to say the ways in which she was not permitted to be her full self because she was running for office. You know, I think when you think about carrying all of that, that is heavy. And to go through all of that at the highest level on an international stage with all these eyes on you. And then to lose to who she lost to and in the way that she lost, we're just going to keep it real. That's heavy and that's hard. And so I can actually understand her grieving that because that's the chapter of her life that she was thrust into that maybe she wasn't expecting and she has to put that down and so anytime you have to put something down like that we should anticipate that that separation that that void is going to be there and that's what grief is it is processing and making sense
Starting point is 01:36:22 of what did I lose how did I lose it and what am I going to fill that space in my heart with now that that is going so it makes total sense to me that she would say that do you think mental health initiatives are being adequately funded because I noticed this weekend, you know, we had the Mental Welfth Expo, but I saw like two or three other events going on. I know to Roger P.N.N.S. had her event. And that's great because it was World Mental Health Day Friday. For Roger P.N.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Anthony had an event. What was the other ones you went to? Project Healthy Minds had an event and I was at with Kate Spade for World Mental Health Day, Women's Mental Health. Which I think is great that all of these different events are happening. But do you think mental health initiatives are being adequately funded? No. Absolutely not. Because you have too many people out there who don't have access to care.
Starting point is 01:37:00 And what people will always argue is that money. Some of it is money, but some of it is we don't have enough providers who look like us, right? I'm talking about black folks right now, or the people of color, to allow people to look online or to get a recommendation and to know instantly that they're going to sit down with somebody who gets them, right? So we're not funded in terms of providers. We're not, you know, Shar, I'm always talking about the research. We don't have near enough money to do the research that needs to be done. You know, we just don't have enough facilities to take people M and I think about inpatient facilities
Starting point is 01:37:34 for people who really need care even if it's short-term care or long-term care there are not enough facilities around and then when you think about one of the latest things is defunding of special education right and so those young people with behavioral health and
Starting point is 01:37:50 educational needs those young people are not going to get what they need so in so many ways we don't have anywhere near enough funding going towards some of the most vulnerable populations and when I say vulnerable I'm not just talking about black folk. I'm not talking about race. I'm talking about different aspects like having a disability, like having a mental illness, having a severe and persistent
Starting point is 01:38:12 mental illness. They also think about people who may have made a suicide attempt and have to be hospitalized. Particularly young people, there are not enough beds to go around for those young folks to get what they need. So no, we absolutely don't have adequate funding for mental health initiatives. So what should people do then? How do we get the money? I think one thing I think people have to do is people have to, people who have the means, even if all you have is $5, $5.5. You know, and I think about the Mental Wealth Alliance and what you set out to do with train, treat, and teach. You want to get people the help that they need, but you can't do that if you don't have money, you don't have funding. So what I want people to do is to go to organizations like the Mental Wealth Alliance online, go to the website, go to the donate page, and give what you can.
Starting point is 01:38:59 but it has to happen consistently. One thing we try to teach people is, you know, everybody loves coffee. I'm not going to call no coffee company's name because it's one that y'all like up here in New York. I don't like it, but I ain't going to say nothing because I want about to beat me up. But instead of having coffee five days a week, skip one of them $5 coffees and take that money and donate it to an organization like the Mental Walth Alliance who's putting in the work. I think it's also about advocacy. We have to have people out here who are writing to their, you know, representatives at the local. regional, state and federal level
Starting point is 01:39:32 and saying we need you to invest in our young people, in older people, in our communities to support. And then the final thing is, you know, when I think about youth and adolescent mental health, only about 1.5 to 2% of all funding that goes to everything in the nonprofit space goes to their mental health. Funding for mental health overall is a very small percentage of where money goes
Starting point is 01:39:57 because of stigma. So I think part of it is is with what we do at the Mental Wealth Alliance and similar organizations, the goal is to help people understand. I heard somebody say the other day, if you break your leg, we have diabetes, God forbid if you have, you know, hopefully it's a benign tumor, if you have something that's impacting you, you don't ask to wait or you're not asked to wait to get that treated. It's the same thing with mental health. We shouldn't ask people to put off taking care of their mental health because there's not
Starting point is 01:40:25 access. There's not money. There's not availability of providers. And so if each of us can do just a little bit, right? And part of my mission with the work that I do is to try to put money in organizations to help them get the resources that they need to do to work. But it can't be one person. It can't be just a few people. It takes all of us.
Starting point is 01:40:47 Dr. Alfie, tell them how they can support the Oklahoma Project and the Mental Wealth Alliance. Okay. Mental Wealth Alliance, you're going to go to Mental Wealth Alliance, all one word. you're going to get on that page you're going to look for the donate button you're going to click donate and you're going to give the Mental Health Alliance some money or the Accoma Project A-A-C-A-P-E-A-Project

Starting point is 01:43:43 And there was one other person, I forget his name, but I remember. Yeah. Yes. But so they're having a conversation about various things. And they do these, like, on the podcast, they bring women together to have conversations about relationships and different things. So this was their first time doing it with guys
Starting point is 01:43:56 and it's guys of all ages. And they started getting into some things. And people were so shocked to hear LeBron talk like a normal person. I don't know why they're always shocked whenever he talks. I swear people don't be normal people. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:07 They swear humans don't be humans. Yes. It's crazy to me. The other person on a podcast, sorry, was Taco. And these are other streamers. Yeah, so. Okay, fan of Taco are streamers as well. Is Taco Mexican?
Starting point is 01:44:18 No. You're a clown. Is he mixed? You're a clown. Yeah? I would understand why he would Wait, Redd, I can't hear you talking to the mic. What you say?
Starting point is 01:44:26 He's Brazilian. Brazilian. Okay, all right. Like, they don't eat, tacos in Brazil. Boy, go ahead, Lauren. Yeah, so they're having different conversations, and they begin talking about being alone and what it's like when somebody likes you and all of a sudden doesn't want to deal with you anymore.
Starting point is 01:44:42 Let's take a list to LeBron on being alone. I don't want to be alone. That's for damn sure. If I got to fight, call, scratch, whatever to keep mine. I got to keep it. I got to do what I got to do. I don't want to be alone. I'm my only child, single parent.
Starting point is 01:44:53 I knew, I knew for sure. I met my homies for the first time when I was seven, eight years old, we started playing sports. And I got around them and we started traveling playing sports. I was like, oh, this is amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:04 And then when I got with Vanne, I was like, oh, this is crazy. Oh, this is amazing. I love this shit. I'm like, I, fuck that. Next time I'm alone, you know, be up underneath champ. Yeah, now, so the conversation
Starting point is 01:45:16 started because they were talking about when you're dealing with somebody in having integrity. And what is it like when you decide, okay, I like you, I'm going to deal with you, and all of a sudden I'm off you. And LeBron James is saying, it's not you all the time, it's them,
Starting point is 01:45:29 and people need to know that. But it's okay to say you don't want to be alone and that you want to find somebody to be with me. Is that why you got two guys? I don't have anything. Wow, I don't know what you're talking about. Wow. But he didn't say anything wrong. I mean, he loves to be in his relationship,
Starting point is 01:45:43 and anybody in a great relationship, know if you'll do whatever to make sure that relationship works. And you'll scratch, you'll scream, you'll yell, you'll make sure that it works. and the marriage is, it takes time. So the guy's name is not Taco, it's Tota. Tota. Oh, I thought it was.
Starting point is 01:45:58 That's what they say in the thing. I thought it was Taka. Because they said Taco was not Brazilian. His name is Tota. Let me verify that because they introduced themselves in the beginning. I said, he called a man Taco. His name was Toco. They said Taco is from odd features.
Starting point is 01:46:11 You looked at him as the end. Yeah, it's the, I thought that was the, I thought that was the, now what if they called that man Taco. Now, what if they called you, Papa. Let me look this up. First of all, shut up. Shut up. They better like a Popeye's chicken.
Starting point is 01:46:22 Well, if somebody just look at you and they call you chicken. Yes, I'm not tripping. Yes, that's Taco from Odd Future, aka Taco. Yeah, that's Taco from Odd Future. He's not Brazilian, though. I didn't know that. Okay, sorry. Somebody said Taco and Toto, two different people.
Starting point is 01:46:37 They are two different people. That's why I'm confused right now. It's Taco who has worked with Our Future. Now, let's move on to this other clip. Let's go, chicken. Come on. Shut up. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:46:49 You all have got the DJ confused with a total. Okay, so I want to play this clip because this is what people got mad at and you said, LeBron didn't say anything wrong. Not mad, but people were like stunned to hear him say this when he talks about people getting off you quickly. Let's take a listen to that. I feel like a lot of people, though, get off people quickly.
Starting point is 01:47:08 Like they'd be so into you and then they'd be like, okay, I'm done. Well, they weren't into you then. Yeah, I totally, yeah. And you can't look at it. You can't think like when you look in the mirror like, damn, what did I do? It's them.
Starting point is 01:47:18 No, I'm just saying anybody in general. It can't be like, what did I do? Like, if they get off you that fast, then it was never meant to be in the first place. That's what relationship is all about. You know, y'all go through ups and downs, but like getting all, you're so in deep with somebody and then you're like, the next day you wake up,
Starting point is 01:47:33 you're like, oh, the shit's trash. That's crazy. And by the way, the men too. Yeah. The men too, because it's some cutthroat, ruthless-ass bitches out here right now, too. Oh, that's in the locker room. You know, I'm in locker room.
Starting point is 01:47:45 You know, it's a lot of women out here that's now kind of flip the script. They ain't go for it. And, you know, some homies out here that's trying to be good. and just, you know, trying to figure it out. And now they're looking in the mirror saying, damn, what did I do wrong? Yo.
Starting point is 01:47:58 So what's the problem with what he said? No problem. No, yesterday, your reaction was like, oh, he said that. Everybody yesterday was like, LeBron. Because he's not lying. He's not lying. First of foremost, but I didn't expect to hear LeBron say that. You know, he just so picture perfect and I, you know.
Starting point is 01:48:13 Just a bitch. Just whatever. But it's bitches out of it. Yeah. But it was with. In words, too. The description. And what he said is true.
Starting point is 01:48:20 Like, you know, you'd be into a person. And then you find. Why not it ain't hitting like you thought it was hitting it? And I ain't just talking about sex. I'm just talking about in general. Period. Sometimes it's personality things or family things. Sometimes the outfit that they have when you meet them be the same outfit.
Starting point is 01:48:34 That be their best outfit, girl. I'm not trying to be the same chains. Yes. Oh my God. Same shoes. I'm so glad I'm out of the streets. You got two pairs of good jeans. And I just, I coach you.
Starting point is 01:48:46 What if he's a nice person underneath all them same clothes he would? You're talking about everything else. Same. thinking same G's change. Yeah, what to be the nice person? Y'all said personality an hour ago, y'all missed that. I said sometimes the personality
Starting point is 01:48:58 don't be able to do. No, I don't. I have one. Why do you have two? Does one have something that the other one doesn't? The one that I am with that I have decided to be with
Starting point is 01:49:07 and going to be with has everything I need and that's all we're going to talk about ever in here. Not as long as I got two videos. Stop being a clown. Two videos of what? Okay, I want to make sure too
Starting point is 01:49:17 because in the beginning of this, I say everybody's weird, but they say, weird and different things throughout the podcast but everybody's crazy with Savannah James and April McDaniel. Now in closing, speaking of videos, Kylie Jenner was under
Starting point is 01:49:32 some fire for a music video she released because the girls are rapping. Kylie Jenner. King Kylie. Drop some music, okay? And the people was mad at the music video because, you know, she's on her fourth strike. That's the name of the song
Starting point is 01:49:48 and they don't like some of the things that the videos that picked them. But I want you all to hear the music first. Then we'll get into some things. Let's take a listen to the hook of the song. Y'all mad at that hook? I mean, to be honest, it's not like it's for kids. It sounds like, I mean, it's fine. It's like whatever. In her world, that'll pop, like, whatever. That record is trash.
Starting point is 01:50:04 No, no, no, no, no. Y'all ain't even heard the bars yet. Let's take a listen to the rapping. All the black women, you can be playing. I get it. I get what y'all saying, but there is a lane for music like that. That ain't a far. At this point, that's a shark. All right. That's a sharp.
Starting point is 01:50:19 That's right. Y'all on this shot on it. Now, no, I don't like it. like it, it ain't for me, but there's a lane for music like this. What's the lane? I don't know. I don't know, but there is the lane, but I'm telling you, people, watch, we're going to hear it on
Starting point is 01:50:32 a show as a soundtrack or something. We're going to see a bunch of kids, TikTok and so it. I'm telling you. Y'all forgot when Kim got in the studio back in the day of dream and recorded something that's equally garbage. We would have liked to forget, but I didn't forget that. And that's when I was a big campaign. And that's when that was a big campaign.
Starting point is 01:50:46 And the dream wrote it. Well, this record is honestly. The dream wrote that? Yes. What the, no. Go ahead, Lauren, I'm sorry. I want to be that rich one day. This was dropped because... Yeah, I want to be that rich one day
Starting point is 01:50:59 just to make stupid records. And let me tell you, she dropped this because she has a new King Kylie collection coming to her makeup line drops October 18th and this is to celebrate the 10-year anniversary. That's like a special collection. She dropped her King Kylie song. Now people talk about the music.
Starting point is 01:51:14 So that's right name, King Kylie? Yeah. I never knew this year for first. Okay. I had no idea that had nothing to do with makeup. If you didn't tell me that, I would not even know there was a correlation. Yeah.

Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players.
Starting point is 01:56:12 It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying, like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb.
