Good morning, good morning. So let's just jump right into it.

Happy Friday. Okay. Former President Trump, he spoke at the 2024 Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner last night, Thursday evening. Now the event held in New York benefits Catholic charities and was hosted by comedian Jim Gaffigan, who joined former President Trump in criticizing VP Harris for not attending. Now, this is the first time that a presidential nominee has not attended this event in decades. She was on the campaign trail in Wisconsin. However, Trump, he was critical of her. He called Harris very disrespectful for not making an appearance at the event.

Let's hear more from former President Trump. All polls are indicating I'm leading big with a Catholic vote, as I should be, as I should be. But I don't think Kamala has given up yet. She hasn't. Instead of attending tonight, she's in Michigan receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer. So Trump was also, he also said he was happy i'm sorry i couldn't hear the um it wrapped up okay so yeah so trump also said he was just happy to be somewhere without a subpoena and he also slammed the group white dudes for harris saying

their wives and their wives lovers are voting for, so he's not too worried about that group. Now, VP Harris, again, as I mentioned, she's the first presidential nominee in decades not to attend the event. Instead, she did address the audience with a prerecorded video where she made several jokes about Trump in a skit with comedian Molly Shannon, noting that there's a fact checker in the room that night. And let's just hear who that fact checker is.

Just so you know, there will be a fact checker there tonight. Oh, that's great. Who? Jesus. And maybe don't say anything negative about Catholics. I would never do that, no matter where I was. That would be like criticizing Detroit in Detroit the church cares for the sick and feeds the hungry supports families with housing and education and in times of disaster provides not only essential supplies but also and so importantly a sense of hope so I never heard of this dinner in my life so it's like a Catholic dinner that's like comedy yeah as well, it started off with doing charities. Now, in the last couple of years,

it seems like more of a roast in the last couple of years. I was like, I never heard of it. She getting in trouble for not being there in person? Yeah. I'm all for, you know, humor. I like to bring humor anywhere, but I didn't know that there was a Catholic comedy fest. It wasn't a comedy fest.

I think the last couple of years, it just turned into a roast. All of that was jokes and sad times. Yeah, but before that, it wasn't. It just turned into it. Oh, okay. Yeah, so they're saying that. Who was Alfred E. Smith?

I didn't bother to look any of this up. I'm asking who was, like who? Oh, my goodness. I'll look it up. Yeah, look it up, please. So while Trump was also in New York, he made a stop at a barbershop in the Bronx. Trump made an unannounced campaign stop in the Bronx at Knockout Barbershop, where some staffers got to shake his hand and ask him a few questions, including the shop's owner,

Javier Rodriguez. Let's hear from him. We all seen it for ourselves behind cameras. I've seen it in person. I feel like he is who he is. I feel like I didn't get a bad vibe, bad energy from him. And as conversations start and I'm happy with the conversations we had. So some were wearing T-shirts that said make barbers great again and hundreds gathered outside. Of course, there was major security. There was a huge security presence with local law enforcement in addition to the feds and secret service but some were saying that you know hey i was able to just ride my bike right through the line and this is concerning considering you know all of the events that have happened in the attempts on former president trump's life so um with 20 days until the election or excuse me less than 20 days until election day former president trump's running mate jd vance he rallied in Pittsburgh where he slammed VP Harris on the topic of Social Security and Medicare.

Let's hear from Vance. Kamala Harris and her friends in the media, they will say that somehow Donald Trump doesn't support Social Security and Medicare. Donald Trump is fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare every single day. I'll tell you what is going to bankrupt Social Security and Medicare, and that's Kamala Harris's plan to give Social Security and Medicare to illegal aliens who have no right to be here. Not so sure that that's the truth, but yeah, well, elsewhere on the trail, Harris's running mate Tim Walz, he was on the campaign trail in North Carolina with former President Bill Clinton. BP Harris actually spoke about Medicare

and we'll get into those comments at 7. So, yeah, stick around. 6 a.m. Thank you, Morgan. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.

Can you take us off Bluetooth for speaker, whatever you got us on, brother? Yeah, my bad, man. I was just brushing my teeth while I was on hold. But does anybody else remember that when Donald Trump was president, he suggested dropping a nuclear bomb into a hurricane to stop it? I remember that when Donald Trump was president, he suggested dropping a nuclear bomb into a hurricane to stop it. I remember that. I mean, just off that alone,

just off that alone now, I just can't see him being president, man. Who, I mean, a fool in that dumb cannot be in the presidential office, man. And then on top of that, all the messed up stuff he said about war veterans, I'm a war vet.

I didn't appreciate the mess he said about Senator McCain. The crazy part about it is not only did Trump say that, he denied saying it. He said that it was ridiculous that people would think that he said it, but he actually said it. Oh, man, man. I can't, I can't.

And I'm not saying this because i'm a huge kamala harris man i mean she's a better pick than him though i mean you shouldn't look there's no such thing as a perfect politician you know what i mean you just look for the politician that you feel um you know that has your has your interest has has issues that you care about and you know the person that you think can be the most effective leader. Where you calling from, James? I'm calling from North Carolina. North Carolina, okay.

You know, according to 538's daily election poll tracker, Harris is currently leading in the national polls and has a 2.4 percentage point lead over Trump. I don't know what the hell that means. I just know it's going to be close. But you got to get out there and vote come November. Make sure you get out there and vote, brother. Hello, who's this?

This is Tank from Newport News, Virginia. Tank from the 757. What's up, brother? How y'all doing, man? Good morning, everybody. Good, man. We'll see you out there next week for Hampton

and Norfolk State homecoming. What up, though? Get it off your chest. So, after seeing that Fox interview with Kamala Harris, I guess my question is for the

whole Breakfast Club, like, how does anybody really, how can anybody support her anymore after she kind of dances around every question, never answers anything directly? And then, like, us American people, we just want to know, like,

what she has to offer policy-wise, specifics and breakdowns and details, and instead of dancing around these questions, why not hit us with these specifics so she might be able to persuade the americans to vote for and i'm just not seeing that you know it's interesting when people say that because she lays out her opportunity economy plan every chance she gets and then when she does that she gets mocked for it right and then you know you say she dances around questions even though i hear her dance even though

i hear her uh answer questions directly but trump literally told you verbatim that he does this thing called the weave, where he'll start one place and then talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, take you somewhere else and never come back to what he was talking about unless he wants to. He literally said that to you on my man Andrew Schultz's podcast, but nobody ever brings that up and says he don't answer questions directly.

Why is that? Right. Okay, but when the American people go to ask Trump these questions questions you hear him say hey how are you gonna bring down the cost of living oh well we're gonna bring down the cost of energy that's where we're gonna start 50 in the first year we're not hearing these specific details breaking that broken down that's not true we're hearing that we're hearing hey um like brett breyer asked her two days ago hey um Kamala Harris, do you feel like you owe this family of Larkin Riley an apology? Well, I'm deeply, deeply, you know, like, what do you mean?

She said she was sorry for what happened to that family. But once again, Brett didn't ask her about no policy. He did. No, he did not. Brett didn't ask her one policy question that whole conversation. He asked, so you remember when he asked about the whole immigration thing? That's not a policy question. Under her administration, though.

No, it lasts three and a half years. That's not a policy question. Everything's happening. It's related to the policy, though, because it's her open borders. The CBP1 app that she has. The accountability. She's allowed these things to happen. That's what I'm saying. Where's the accountability at when it comes to these things? She has an app called CBP1.

You can look it up. The border is a bipartisan issue. It's been a bipartisan issue. The border has been terrible under damn near every single administration, and it's going to take bipartisan legislation to fix the border. You can't fix the border with executive orders. It's going to take bipartisan legislation to fix the border you can't fix the border with executive orders it's going to take republicans and democrats coming

together to create a legislation to fix the border and guess what they had that and you know who shot it down donald j trump because he didn't want to give the democrats any type of win those are just facts and i mean i don't know what to tell you when you put facts on the table and present people with facts and they still don't want to see the facts. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, we got Just With The Mess with Lawn LaRosa coming up. What are we talking about?

We do. We have some updates in Liam Payne's death. So, we're going to get into those really quick. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Laura La Rosa. News is real. We're in the headlines. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying.

Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On the Breakfast Club With Lauren La Rosa I'm back And I got the man

Talk to me So yesterday we had discussed Liam Payne passing away in Argentina And there were a lot of unanswered questions When we discussed it yesterday But there have been some updates So Argentina law enforcement is now saying they gave a statement to the Associated Press

and they said that they believe that Zayn, I'm sorry, that Liam Payne jumped from the balcony. Now, there are some back and forth disputes about this because although they are saying that, they're not providing any information as to what they are using to conclude that. And they're not a hundred, like they're not saying the word suicide,

but they're saying he jumped. So they're a CNN and a couple other outlets did some more digging. And at the same time, the prosecutor's office there is saying that because of the injuries that Liam Payne sustained, they believe that he might not have been fully conscious at the time of his fall, which can lead to the theory that he didn't jump and that he actually just fell and they say this

because of the position that his body was found in and the injuries from his fall now the uh the public prosecutor's report added that there were also a series of substances that received that were seized in his room as well which indicate prior situation of alcohol and drug consumption you guys remember yesterday we talked about everything that happened. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

you know it's easy to to see how someone could have went over everything at this point right now is indicating that he was alone when it happened. We talked about the fact that his girlfriend was there, but then she left. So, I mean, it's still kind of up for question

whether this was intentional or not, but the statement that was released says that he jumped. That's unfortunate. It's very unfortunate. It's very unfortunate, especially because he was on a, he had just posted a video

on his YouTube channel not too long ago talking about he was celebrating six months of being sober from alcohol. So, you know, it seems like he was battling a he had just posted a video on his youtube channel not too long ago talking about he was celebrating six months of being sober from alcohol so you know it seems like he was battling with something for uh for sure yeah now zayn malik who was also a part of one direction broke his silence on the passing yesterday he said liam i never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life you were headstrong opinionated you gave no f's about telling people when they were wrong when it came to the music

front page news, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. Y'all right. You're checking out The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura La Rosa filling in for Jess. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. Let's get in some front page news.

Now some quick sports. Last night, Thursday night football. The Broncos beat the Saints 33-10. Major League Baseball. The Yankees lost to the Guardians last night, but they still lead the series 2-1. The Dodgers beat the Mets last night 10-2. And the Dodgers lead that series 3-1. And tonight, the Lynx take on the Liberty at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

What's up, Morgan? What up, though? So let me just go ahead and say that tensions are rising over in the Middle East, okay? So Hezbollah is announcing a new and escalating phase in its war with Israel. The Iran-backed militant group made the announcement on Thursday saying they've killed 55 Israeli soldiers since the beginning of Israel's ground operations in Lebanon. The statement from Hezbollah did not mention the death of Hamas leader Yahya Senwar,

who was killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday. However, Vice President Harris says justice has been served following the death of Senwar. Speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harris said the world is a safer place now that Senwar. Speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harris said the world is a safer place now that Senwar is dead. And he was killed by Israeli forces, adding that he was responsible for the October 7th attack on Israel last year. Let's hear those comments. The United States, Israel and the entire world are better off as a result. Senwar

was responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent people, including the victims of October 7 and hostages killed in Gaza. Senwar was the mastermind of October 7, the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. VP Harris also blamed Senwar for starting the current war in the Middle East that, of course, has led to deaths, thousands of deaths in Gaza. Now, while also speaking in Wisconsin, La Crosse, Wisconsin, to be exact, she promised to give tax cuts to 100 million middle class Americans, give $6, or excuse me, his running mate, J.D. Vance said about Medicare. Here's what she had to say about Medicare while speaking in La Crosse, Wisconsin. This is a matter of dignity and it is a matter of your ability to participate in the workforce and be productive and have a quality of life.

So we're going to change the system so Medicare will cover your ability to have home health care for your elder parents. Yeah, not to mention the Biden-Harris administration also made it so that, you know, those bills, those medical bills, they don't go on your record. So just keeping that in mind. Now, VP Harris also spoke on abortion rights, calling for the revoking of Roe v. Wade,

or calling the revoking of Roe v. Wade or calling the revoking of Roe v. Wade immoral and promising to restore reproductive freedom nationwide. She told the crowd that unlike her opponent, Donald Trump, we actually see real people and care about them. Meanwhile, the Harris Walls campaign's HBCU tour is outside, much like you guys this weekend in North Carolina. Today in Greensboro, Harris will brunch with students, alumni, elected officials, and community leaders. While tomorrow in Charlotte, North Carolina, she will brunch with JCSU students. Oh, so she is showing up. So she is popping up.

She around. She around. I was hoping, you know what I'm saying, she'd be around here. You know, Howardard which one you said she's going to again now she'll be in greensboro today um that's north carolina i believe that's north carolina a and t and um and then charlotte tomorrow rest of y'all getting 10 walls charlotte may get 10 walls you said because hey howard's homecoming is also this weekend so i know that they are at least what I have heard is that they are preparing for a special, special guest on the campus of Howard University.

Tim Walls. Y'all getting Tim Walls at Howard University. Nah, she'll probably show up to Howard. She should show up to Howard. So, of course, they will join HBCU students, alumni, and community to celebrate those homecomings. And those speaking will highlight Vice President Harris' A New Way Forward agenda that will lower costs to protect our freedoms, support HBCUs,

and give every North Carolinian the chance to not just get by, but get ahead. There's other things that they said they were going to lay out, but are you guys looking forward to the homecomings outside events this weekend? Now Morgan, Lauren LaRosa just showed me something Morgan sent me an invite

Oh she sent you an invite It doesn't say she's going to be there It says they're going to be talking about Harris and Walls It is the Harris-Walls Homecoming tour So it is a matter They don't need to have walls on them

They just say Harris man Why not? He is a matter of... They don't need to have walls on them. Why? They didn't say Harris, man. Why not? He's a part of it. Not really, is he? I mean, I don't want to see him nowhere swag surfing or attempting to shimmy. I'm not saying you don't want walls on your yard. No. Walls got kind of quiet

recently. Good. Stay off the yard, please. Take him to the student center and that's it. The library. Jay-Z said he had a spark when he started, but now he's just garbage. He's just garbage. I don't think he's garbage, you know what I'm saying? But it's just like, I don't see the impact.

He be chilling. We don't need that right now. That's the problem. We don't need you chilling. That's the problem. We need you chilling. Okay, we need you on the front lines, okay? We need a white man that excites other white people.

Oh, man. I don't know if he's that white person that's doing that. Is he? No. Okay. Wag your fingers. Okay, and so let's bring things home to New York. Governor Kathy Hochul says any talks of her possibly joining Kamala Harris's administration,

should she win the presidency, is not true. A journalist asked her about a report saying that Hochul aides reached out to Harris's team about a potential job that Hochul aides reached out to Harris's team about a potential job working for Harris. And here's what New York Governor Kathy Hochul had to say about that. I love New York. I'm not leaving New York. So all that is false. There are people, there are bad actors out there once again, purveying in lies. People are trying to create the notion that I'm not running for reelection andlection and I'm running for re-election. Yeah, there's a lot of people in that category. Yeah, so Governor Hochul says she continues to support New York City. Mayor Eric Adams,

who was also battling federal corruption charges. The governor was challenged by a reporter who asked why she won't demand his resignation, but did demand Adams overhaul his top level staff who have not been charged with any crimes. And here's what she had to say about that. Stabilize the situation instead of having day after day after day of blaring news headlines about who else has had an investigation, who else's cell phone was taken. My focus is, is government still functioning at the levels that New York City residents deserve? That's it. I'll be watching to make sure that this is all happening.

This comes, of course, as numerous aides from Adams administration have stepped down in recent weeks and also have resigned after Hochul, of course, asked the mayor to clean house following all of those allegations, bribery charges, corruption charges and more. Yeah. So, again, I will keep you posted on that situation. That's your front page news. I'm working. Would follow me on social at Morgan Media.

Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051.

Is doing background checks and research on your partner a red flag or a requirement? So, Lauren, when you're out, well, are you dating? Well, the guys that you see, do you do background checks? For what? What you mean? Like, real background checks? Like, run it through, like, a real, like, dot-com report? I wasn't thinking about that, but do you?

No, I don't go that far, but I do do car facts. Like, i see who we have in common and reach out and be like yo you know what you know about this person are they cool like is it is it safe like that type of thing okay well let's talk about you're looking at me like that charlie what is going on you don't think you've been out of this for a long time i'm listening to you you're looking at me like you guys need no i'm not 585 101 do you do background checks on the people that you're dating do you research to be hollering without even getting hit nowadays let's discuss when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren La Rosa filling in for Jess. Now, if you're just joining us, we open up the phone lines 800-585-1051. When you guys are out and about dating, are you doing background checks and research on your partner? That is the question. Now, Loyola Rosa says absolutely, positively yes.

Now, what kind of background checks are you doing? I'm asking people that are mutual to us. So you go through his Instagram? Yeah. I mean, if I know you through somebody, I probably ask them. Or if I go through Instagram and see if you have a mutual follower follower i might reach out and be like hey if the person i'm if i'm cool with that person but i just need to know a little bit like you know what am i getting myself into is it worth the time because people come off very when the last time you had to do that um i think i just did that like a month ago but you don't do background checks like to see if

he was arrested but he's arrested for it i don't but i do have a couple homegirls that do it immediately the minute they know your full name yes they do a hundred percent so but what does that mean just because he's been arrested though like what but you want to see what he's arrested for no one of one of my homegirls that does it her mom is a former police chief so like it's just they've always just been in the practice of like that's just what they do but i think they just want to know like it's a it's a big safety thing for most women too but it's like safety but then you you really just want to know like is it what it appears to be because the flags be so green in the beginning i'm gonna be honest with you i don't have a problem with that i think men need to do that too ain't nothing wrong with that i think when men start dating these women they should be doing background checks and even

even if it's not like going online to try to figure out a person's criminal background just ask about the individual. Ask about the young lady. Do you know her? Yep. Who is she? What is she about? Is she a scammer?

Has she set dudes up before? Yeah. Right. You know, what's her body count? Is she crazy in some way, shape, or form? Most guys do that. And the questions they ask, is she crazy? Who did she used to deal with?

Like, who was her last boyfriend? Is she disconnected from that situation? Because they want to know, like, all right, if i'm staying at the crib who's a baby father yeah like it's a safety thing but then they do ask like is she crazy because it's like now they want to know like all right do you check horoscopes one of our producers says uh background checks include horoscopes yes i think you should treat it like jobs go to their social media history too i do that see what they've been tweeting about see what they've been posting about twitter instagram i looked at tag photos because that's how you find a girlfriend that they say that they

don't have jesus um i do you said horoscopes so what so who won't you date what horoscope won't you date i don't i will date any horoscope but i just know what i'm getting because i know what i'm getting a little bit like i always attract pisces and they hold on now let me turn your mic on turn down your mic on now what's up? I absolutely will never date a Virgo ever again. We don't want you either. Oh, I forgot your Virgo. Taylor's in the background like, yes. And I think I'm good off of Scorpios too.

I can say it. So you base everything off of horoscopes? I don't base everything off of horoscopes, but I'm definitely heavy into horoscopes. And background checks are also essential because when I was in college, my homegirl brought this man over to the crib.

We meet the guy. He's telling us about him. He's doing, like, all the bells and whistles. He's complimentary. Flowers, X, Y, and Z. Why me and my other roommate look him up

and this guy had a domestic abuse case in Florida and he was wanted in Florida. Damn. Sitting in our living room so yeah we doing background checks we need to know everything reward for most of the time in them in them dv situations they don't be stay locked up for long so then they came back and got hurt let's go to the phone lines we got brandy on the line brandy

good morning good morning hey good morning so we're asking do you do background checks and research before dating somebody okay so my thoughts on that is i'm married i've been married for 20 some years but i have a girlfriend that is newly divorced and I am her PI I absolutely she has started with some dating apps things like that and there's too much information out there available not to you are out there by yourself so absolutely you should know who you are meeting and what you guys have in common. So you can do register of deeds. You can do, there's too many social media sites not to be able to draw a good conclusion before you date somebody.

I agree with you, Mama. Stay right. We got City on the line. City, good morning. What's up, man? We're talking about background checks and research before you're dating somebody. Yeah, well, okay. Who's doing the background check?

The woman? You could, too. Y'all, you got to just go to their social media sites, see what they've been tweeting, go on their Facebook, see what they talking about. That's a good question, too. I don't think so fully. I think it's a start, though. It can help you, kind of.

But for me, when I go to social media, I'm not even more so looking at, like, is this your character all the way? Because I still want to get to know you in person. I'm trying to make sure you don't have relationships you hide in. Like, that type of thing. Kids you hide in. Yeah. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions. but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

and you can't judge if they're lying or not. I think that's your problem. It depends on how far you are with the person because sometimes you'll meet a person and get their number and be like, hey, let's meet up next week. Y'all might not even talk before that first meet up or let's meet this weekend. I think you just hit a trigger for Lauren.

She just started. No, I'm not triggered. I'm not triggered at all. I disagree with City, though, because people lie and you don't know people. You're starting to learn people and I think sometimes people will lie. They'll put their best foot forward

and you really want to know what they're about. What he said is true, though. When you you go to social media is that really the representation i don't think it's a full representation because if you went to my social media depending on the day i don't know where i would sweat you but if you meet me in person it'd probably be different social media is really just like your best version of yourself like i'm putting all my best on here my best outfits my best accomplishes i don't think it's a real reflection of who the person is but that's knowledge she's joining us of course she has

Jesus. That'll do it. But I didn't get that vibe from him. So I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no.

What kind of vibe are you looking to get? He didn't have the registered sex offender vibe. What is the registered sex offender vibe, ma'am? Like creepy, right? Creepy. Like, you know, like he has a hidden background, some attention,

but I didn't get that from him. He was very kind and sweet. Kind of, well, we could say that about Jeffrey Dahmer, right? Creepy. Like, you know, he has a hidden background, some attention. But I didn't get that from him. He was very kind and sweet. Kind of, well, we could say that about Jeffrey Dahmer, right? I was about to say, most of them people be like that. Very charming. Well, what were you looking for? Like a van with no windows? Like, what would be sex offender?

Yo, he pulled up. Did he come to the date in a van? So, listen, let me give y'all some more context. So, I did hang out with him again. After you found out? Sis. No, so he brought up himself. And he told me what happened.

He was in the military. He had sex with some drunk girl. And she had a fiance. And she told her fiance that he raped her. But it wasn't rape, right? And he was in the military. So, you know, these girls out here be trying to get these military men caught up. So, anywho, fast forward,

as a sex offender, but it was for something he actually didn't do. He said, yeah, he said he didn't do it. Isn't sex offender underage? No.

That could be rape. Well, I don't know. I don't know. You know what though? Hold on. I think Nala might be right. Well, sex offender, if you rape somebody...

But if you have to register as a... Hold on. Let's look it up. Let's do research. Does he have a mustache, man? I did not expect this story to have a happy ending, to now let's do research yeah does he have a mustache man i did not expect this story to have a happy ending he doesn't have a mustache and he has a white van congratulations or should i say congratulations

you are required to register as sex offenders to keep law enforcement informed about their whereabouts to prevent them from committing additional sex crimes the purpose of sex offender registry.

Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shoes. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the mess.

Talk to me. So we discussed that Big Meech was moved to a halfway house and that he will be under government supervision until January 2026. Now, in new legal docs that were reported by TMZ, they are talking about what the conditions of his release will be. Remember I told you when I first reached out on the story, a source told me like, yes, he is free. However, there are conditions so his conditions include um him having to participate in a substance abuse program okay which may include drug and alcohol testing and uh of course living in the halfway house that he lives in of course there'll be different things where like i'm sure there's not the full details here because again i told you that they're not releasing everything and

putting everything in documents because of his safety and security but normally those halfway houses have rules and stipulations about like visitation when you can leave if you can even leave curfews things of that nature but specifically in the documents they talk about the fact that um he'll be supervised the supervised release will be for five years and it'll include that substance abuse program um drug and alcohol testing so we know a little bit more about what his life will begin to look like now moving on gabrielle union gabrielle union uh got on tiktok and she shared a love letter to women in their 30s that i definitely think women in their 30s need to hear because the haters that be the hey envy you know it'd be haters that be when you're a woman in your 30s and you're thriving and you're figuring out life so you accepted this but that there's haters to be no the message oh yeah

the message when we hear the message i want to say i wasn't we're gonna take a listen it sat well with me because this stuff i already knew so the haters that be the other woman in the room just say his name oh he identifies as him yes Charlene so now you're hating on the trans community I'm hating on you I don't think they accept you either I'm hitting on you let's take a listen to Gabrielle Ewing and her love letter to the woman in the 30s I picked this for you so my girl is in their 30s time wasn't running out it's not feels like it is if you look at social media oh my god you're running out of time it's not it's not other people feels like it is. If you look at social media, oh my God, you're running out of time. It's not.

It's not. Other people will make you feel like you're running out of time because they want everyone to do what they're doing so they feel better about their choices. There's no race. Like there's no checkered flag at the end of life where they're like, she did it all. Extra stars for when you're dead. Your thirties,s travel tell people how you really feel don't lie to your therapist and be okay to not be okay and be okay with

missing out because staying in is more fun and i want to mention too that gabrielle union met uh duane wade her husband when she was in her 30s the couple then welcomed their daughter um via surrogate in november 2018 when she was 46 years old you want to say something i got my hand raised go ahead yes sir your honor go ahead i object okay uh there's a lot of what gabrielle union said that i agree with uh i think she said don't lie to your therapist i agree with that don't don't fear missing out i agree with. I think she said, don't lie to your therapist. I agree with that. Don't fear missing out. I agree with that. But I disagree with her when she starts talking

about clocks and time. Okay, I agree that everyone is moving on their own time, but everyone's clock is different. There is an invisible clock ticking right now for all of us that none of us can see.

So some of us have less time than others. So don't wait. Sometimes later becomes never. Do it now. Gabrielle Union has no idea how much time you have left neither do you you done with your time yes okay great well i thought it was a great message because i do i do know that you know there are pressures that come from the room but

i will say all the stuff that she was saying like i i was like oh yeah i already felt like this i wonder why she wrote that message because g know Gabrielle Union she's like 51 so she's down in her 30s I wonder why she said you know I want to speak to those young individuals was it her group chat

was it her younger sister her younger girls I just wonder why I'm sure she remembers just you know being in her 30s and she was trying to figure it all out she didn't get married

until she got in her 30s she didn't have a kid even though it was by surrogate until she was 46 she's one of the blessed ones she's one of the blessed ones that made it to 50 plus years old yeah she's going to give some hope some of y'all gonna die in your 30s jesus therefore you have an invisible clock ticking right now

that none of us can see so you just don't know how much time you have left do you ever have any hope or optimism for people i do but i'm also a realistic person and what i said was realistic just now and you know it yeah but like no hope no optimism none not not one like all i say well there's an invisible clock ticking for all of us including me that's it none of us know how much time we have left so what advice would you give lauren larosa in her 30s sometimes later becomes never charlamagne do it now charlamagne wants me to meet somebody tomorrow, become barefoot, pregnant, and...

No, I want you to wear shoes. I would never want you walking around barefoot. And mind y'all, it's like, yes, I'm going to, all this is going to happen

for me. It's going to happen soon. There you go. But is it Charlamagne or is it your mother? Because your mother also said she wants you to speed it up a little bit.

I think people, so my mom, everybody has different reasons. My mom wants me to experience having a kid because she saw how wonderful it was to have her kid step in when she went through life situations and she was sick right my grandmother wants me to have a kid because my grandmother's getting old she's gonna get about her she want to meet my kids she's gonna get up out here to have a kid because your grandma's realistic your grandma your grandma know that clock is ticking charlamagne wants me to meet a man just so i can bring him in here and he can tear my

relationship to shreds. You'd be a fool if you bring your man in here. I'm not. You're not the number one person that I'm looking to tear apart their relationship. Leave Taylor alone. That man takes her on picnics. He's a good man. Oh, I can't wait to meet you.

I really just want to warn him. You going to meet him? Oh, I can't wait. Next week? I almost caught him the other day at meet him? Oh, I can't wait. Next week? I can't wait. I almost caught him the other day at the airport. Really? Oh, my gosh. No. She ducked off.

She got out there. She knew I was coming. She got out of Dodge. I would have been waiting right with her. Whatever term it was. When he come in to pick us up, that would have been me. You are so annoying. My optimism.

Hope you choked on that water. Not die, but just choke a little bit. A little bit. Just a little bit. Can't always get what you want. Just faint a little bit, but just not die. Sometimes things turn into never. Okay.

That's right. Sometimes later becomes never. Do it now. It's going to happen for us. There you go. There you go. We know it's coming. We're going to be well manicured and prepared when it does.

There you go. My friends know. Please let my outfit be good and my nails be great. That's it. When that happens. Be ready. That's right. Stay does. There you go. My friends know, please let my outfit be good and my nails be great. That's it. When that happens. Be ready. That's right. Stay ready.

That's right. I'm rooting for you. Envy. Don't look so optimistic. I just made sure the eyelashes were good. Your eyelashes are good. You're optimistic.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

caught the individual yet that i know of but we need to get this man off the street. Mm-hm. Let's go to, what's the new, what's the new Fox 8? Let's go to Fox 8 for the report, please. Days after what should have been a joyful celebration, friends and family gathered to mourn 37-year-old Tyreek Burton, who was killed outside his own wedding reception. Witnesses say the shooting happened as Tyreek and his wife were preparing to leave the venue. Tyreek had briefly left to retrieve something, and when he returned, family members say he was followed by a man who accused Burton of cutting him off. Moments later, the man opened fire, killing Tyreek in front of his new wife.

As they grieve, family and friends are looking for justice and longing for answers about the senseless act that stole Tyreek from them. See something, say something. It's real simple. Greensboro Guilford Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for any information that leads to arrest in this case. They're asking that you contact them at 336-373-1000. In Greensboro, Elijah Skipper, Fox 8 News. Yeah, there's absolutely positively no reason to kill somebody because they cut you off. This brother was at his own wedding reception, left the venue for a second with his new wife.

Man accuses him of cutting him off the road. The brother, Tyreek, apologized. He literally said, after being questioned by the suspect, you know, the suspect said, who was in the car? Who just passed me at the stop sign? Tyreek said, if I did, I'm sorry. Then the man opened fire, killing him in front of his new wife. I want him locked up.

Greensboro, I don't know who the person is, but rightfully so. The Burton family is pleading with the public to come forward with any information. That human needs to get off your screech, Greensboro. When you see something, you should say something because a person like that would absolutely kill you or someone you love in cold blood. Just like they did Tyreek Burton. Turn this man in. Turning this man in is not snitching. It's crime prevention. Hell, I wouldn't care if it's labeled snitching. This man has to go. We all seen the Spider-Man movies, okay? Don't be like Peter Parker.

Remember when Peter Parker was mad at the wrestling promoter because the wrestling promoter didn't pay him all his money? So when the wrestling promoter got robbed, Peter Parker could have stopped the robber, but he didn't because he was mad and felt like the wrestling promoter deserved it. But then that same robber ended up killing his Uncle Ben moments later. That could be you. All right? If you have information that could lead to arresting the murderer of Tyreek Burton. And don't say anything. Once again, that man is in your community.

After killing an innocent man. Just because he left from his wedding reception for just a second. All right. I want him in handcuffs before the weekend is over. So if you have any information that might help identify the suspect. Reach out and touch Greensboro Guilford Crime Stoppers. They are offering a reward for any information leading to his arrest okay anyone with information charlemagne to god myself i am urging you to call crime stoppers three three six three

seven three one thousand rest in peace to tyreek burton sending healing energy to the burton family uh let's get the person who murdered him off the street they were saying there's this ring cameras all up and down that block well we need that guy off the street. They were saying there's ring cameras all up and down that block. Well, we need that guy off the street. Okay, in the meantime, give that suspect who killed Tyreek Burton the biggest hee-haw.

the other call to action. So we have the hotline [phone].

Too fast, too freaky. Tyrese. Get Tyrese in it? Oh, God. I mean, just because. With the red hat and nothing else? What, with Tyrese

and Ludacris because it's trash and shirt, you know what I'm saying? Too fast, too freaky. You said it was a porno. Yeah, but it's a play on words. I don't want them in the porno,

but they can be in it. You know what I'm saying? Just to add to the whole title of it. I started seeing Tyrese with no clothes and just the red hat. No, I don't want him to participate in the porno. I just saying just to you know add to the whole title i started seeing therese with no clothes no i don't want him to participate i just want him to like be in the movie maybe play like the pastor that's trying to pray the freakiness out of a person because it'd be too fast yes well i would say also too fast i mean well and to answer your question i think it depends

on how comfortable the date was there's a lot of variables like this is not like a black and white thing it's very it depends on the situation how you feel about the person or whatever but like it'd be people that you don't even know literally just exchange phone numbers with and they on some like it'd be a lot okay all right well let's go to the phone lines ah damn it what's up lovey lovey was on my tiktok live talking crazy all, so if you don't know who Lovey is, explain to the people who Lovey is. He's a long-time listener. Long-time listener for the Bronx.

For the Bronx. Long-time listener with a 13-inch penis. That talk, Charlamagne. So Lovey is Freaky. Don't leave the half out. Oh, he said take the half out. I know Freaky's not a problem or a concern with you in a relationship. No, respectfully, if I don't get it on the first date, there will not be a second date.

Dang. What? How old are you? You heard that, Lauren? That's corny. That's corny. Thank you, lovey. Hello, who's this?

But you didn't ask him why. But lovey's also a little bit older. Hello? That's true. That actually makes it worse. Hey, yo, what's up, man? What's up, Louis? Now, it says that you freaky right away.

Yeah, and back in the day, I'm married now, man. Happily married, got kids. Bless, bless, bless, man. But yeah, back in the day when I was in high school, man, oh, man, I used to be sending those pictures. And now that I look back at it, I'm like, what was I doing? No one wanted to see that oh embarrassing man what would the girls i mean high school is a very it's a you know you young and a

little dumb but what were the women responding to you when you were sending it because it was unsolicited like they didn't want them photos uh i mean we were like on the topic but i feel like i jumped the gun a little too fast sometimes and it would be you felt weird about it, right? Yeah, I feel weird, especially now. I feel super weird about it now. I'm like, eh, shouldn't have done that. You know, the interesting thing about relationships, right? Men and women know why they're going out with each other, I would assume. For sure.

But I think men have different goals than women do. A man wants to hit. A woman might actually be looking for a boomer. Yeah. It depends on the person. That's not might actually be looking for yeah it depends on the person that's not a good thing though it depends on the person i think there are women that like even if you are looking for a boo you can you the minute you meet somebody you know like okay yeah i know where this is going and you know when it's going to be hey guys can i can i say something real quick sure all right man i've been calling all day because i've been trying to get through one thing is uh i was trying to get a donkey today. I give it to the people who think that Trump did good, brought policies down because it wasn't that.

It was a pandemic. No one was using gas because no one was driving, so gas was cheap. No one was really buying stuff. Supply and demand, everything was cheap. So people need to understand that. Trump didn't do anything. It was a pandemic that happened that made everything cheap. That's a good point. Thank you. And also, one last thing real quick.

And also, Troublemaker in the God, boy, you don't look like Chuck's nut. You look like his left nut, man. That's facts. Thank you. Thank you, Louis. No, no, that's facts. He wrote that down a long time ago. He slapped his knee when he said that.

And when he shot the gun, it still jerked back and fell out of his hand. I thought it was kind of funny. All right. Hello, who's this? TJ from Orlando. Now, TJ,

now, the only reason I went to you is because you said that you think Lauren, you said you're blind and you think Lauren is fine. Pretty much. Okay.

Not me coming through the vision and they there I don't even know what she look like and I'm just like damn you like my voice

is it the voice you know what I mean like I'm an old school cat so it's like damn like it is what it is

ooh I know that's right you got the blind man hollering they see they see because a blind man says he's blind they see the vision

even when they can't see the vision period 800-585-1051 it's Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday and the Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday question is is being too freaky

too fast a turn off let's discuss it's the Breakfast Club come on Freaky Friday it's Freaky Friday. It's freaky.

Call in now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Long and Roses filling in for Jess. It's Friday, so you know what that means.

It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. And the Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday question is, we're asking, is too freaky, too fast a turnoff? And, you know, we open up the phone lines, but also open up the mic. Yeah, well, not the mic. You can go to TalkBack. You know, go to the iHeartRadio app,

search for the Breakfast Club podcast, tap the mic, record your question or your statement, whatever it is. Hit send, and your voice will be heard. All right, well, let's go to the Breakfast Club podcast. Tap the mic. Record your question or your statement, whatever it is. Hit send and your voice will be heard. All right, well, let's go to the talk back now. Hello. Let's hear some of the people. I call y'all and I can't never get through. So to the answer to the question, yes, if somebody wants to get freaky too fast, it's a red flag.

I go overboard. I be like, nah, they trying to give me AIDS. I don't know. God dang it. They trying to be freaky too fast. What? Trying to give it to me. like, nah, they trying to give me AIDS. I don't know. God damn. They trying to be freaking too fast. What? They trying to give it to me. So yeah, red flag. Somebody threw the red blanket on that. Damn, she said they trying to give me AIDS. My God. We got Eddie on the line. Eddie, good morning.

Good morning, man. What's going on? How y'all doing? What's up, Eddie? We asking, is too freaky too fast a turn off? Nah, I don't think it's a turnoff but i think it goes both ways though i think it's different for the guys and for the females i feel like with the guys y'all know how guys are guys just gonna go ahead first and do what they do but with a female i feel like it's a little weird because you know females don't usually jump off the ledge like that immediately that's true i just said i just said that i said men and women have different uh intentions now you're right yeah exactly you know a guy would just you know a guy would just hit your phone the craziest pick out of nowhere and just deal with

whatever comes with it but a female it's like that's not usual for a female so if a female jumps out the gate like that you know that's a little funny is it only funny when it's a female that like you're not interested in seriously because if it's just somebody you try and hit you know it's not you don't care right you still gonna go forward with it i would say i don't care because you know i'm trying to hit him but it's still like like you know like what's going on for real why you why you jumping off the ledge like that so quick i got you you see what I'm saying? Yeah. Well, thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? Kwayana. Kwayana.

Good morning. Do you think being too freaky, too fast is a turnoff? It can be. It depends. So it depends on the setting. Now, if it's something to where we just met and that's the type of time that you're coming off on, yes, you're a creep. Now, if we've been kicking it for a little bit and we both exchanging those mutual feelings, then maybe not.

But if it's not mutual, then yes, you're a creep. Okay. I wonder, do women take it personal when a guy is too freaky, too fast? Does a woman say, who do you think I am that you can move on me like that? Because the reality is, it's just him. It's the guy's problem, not yours. What's the freakiest a guy has got with you, Lauren? I got pictures that I didn't want to receive, and I was so confused.

Really? First date? not even a date like it just exchanged numbers and like i was it was i was like whoa and i'm like blocked it was like weird and it was from an older guy too so i kind of felt like you old enough to know that like you got to read the room a little bit like elite like dang you want to ask me my favorite color first i mean not that jesus i care about yours but maybe airdropping penis pics nowadays right yo you ever been on the airplane and somebody tried to airdrop you something i decline it all the time because i be thinking i always think that yes but yeah they caught me once uh they caught you you accepted it and what was it it was the it was a penis pic you still got it no i don't have it no more you gotta save

right now you got me right on the plane it was a it was a airdrop I don't know what I thought it was I clicked it bam caught me right there and then the person next to me

I don't have no screen protector you know the dark screen so they see it so look yeah is that where that dildo rumor came from

probably no you're right Lauren probably you're right all the gay rumors from him all right all right

we have more of the story, guys? More of the story is just read the room, I would say. All right. Now, when we come back, we have Pastor Ox. Nyla will be back here, so we're going to kick it

with Nyla some more, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,

Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura La Rosa filling in for Jess, and it's time for Pass the Aux. What's up, Nyla? What's up? Good morning. How you feeling? I'm good. How are you guys? Good, good, good spin, now come spin What's up, Nyla? What's up? Good morning. How you feeling? I'm good. How are you guys? Good, good, good.

Big Nyla! Alright, thank you. What's up, what's up? I'm a little tired. I started doing Ladies Night Thursdays at St. Okay. It's a vibe. If you guys are in the city, definitely check it out. How was it? It was lit. Blast was in there. Queen Naija was in there. People I went to college with, so. Did you rock out, though? Yeah, it's R&B.

It's easy. Okay, okay. It's easy. Speaking of R&B, Ari Lennox is back with a new record. I'm so happy about it, and it's called Smoke. That's crazy. Drop one of Clues Bob's for Ari Lennox. That was nuts.

That was fire. Yeah, you're really an Ari Lennox fan. No. You're really a shame-butter baby. Ari needs new everything. New what? She needs a new, I don't know, management. I thought she got with her team and got a new team.

New label. He just wants to throw J. Cole. Is she still trying to throw J. Cole? What's this got to do with J. Cole? But then she, I thought she'd been distancing herself from them. No, I don't think so. I thought she just left the tour or something like that. I don't know any of the team.

All I know is I like this record. Ari checks off every box that an artist could check off. She's dope. She always delivers with the music. So at some point, everybody else around her needs to get on her level. That's how I feel. Well, I don't know. She's been through a few teams, so I think she's trying to figure it out.

Hopefully she's figuring it out. I don't know if it actually happened, but she was asking to be dropped for the reveal. Yeah, back in January 2022. Ari's dope, though. So next, we have Wizkid. Wizkid and Brent Fias did a record. I love Brent, and I love Wizkid, so I was super excited to see this.

It's called Peace of My Heart. That's dope. You're two for two today, Nyla. It's cute. It's cute. Okay, okay. Yes, shout out to Brent. Shout out to the whole DMV.

And then last but not least, we're going to get into Ab-Soul's new record. It's called All That. Try one of Clues' bombs for Ab-Soul. Let me tell you something, Nala. Those three songs you picked with Stella. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions. But you just don't know what is going to come for you.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Okay? I'm so sick of you Negroes and your vibes. Okay? I want you Negroes with your talent. All those three individuals you played have God-gifted talent. There is a difference. Just because you can go in the studio and record doesn't mean you should. Go in there when God tells you to. Okay? you hear because she's been she comes with talent every week no sometimes it's just vibes it ain't her fault oh you know it's just

hey i gotta play the best of what i'm what i got do vibes vibe like go out of because like you just sounded so old i don't think vibes have nothing to do with actual talent like it's like a vibe imagine being in the studio and somebody plays something and it's whack as hell you can't understand the person but everybody like they're on drugs it's a vibe it's a vibe talking about it's a vibe all of those people you played just now had actual talent.

It's the biggest con now. It's the biggest con now. Axel, you've been in the comic book business for a long time. You was the former editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. What got you into the comic book world? Well, I got into the comic book world on a fluke. I interviewed at DC Comic Books for an editor position. I sent in my resume, and the editor called me and said,

I wanted to meet you. I said, why this? And he says, I read an article you wrote for the Daily News about the use of the cannabis leaf in hip-hop culture, and I interviewed a DA agent and the editor-in-chief of High Times Magazine, and the High Times Magazine editor stole the guy's girlfriend. He had a gripe. The High Times editor

stole the guy's girlfriend? Yeah, stole his girlfriend. Okay. He said, I love you. You want a job? I said, all right. So I got into DC Comic Books at Vertigo.

Hold on, so you got a job because somebody stole somebody's girlfriend? Yeah, pretty much, yeah. I mean, you were qualified, but y'all never named me. I was qualified, yeah. You were very qualified.

I was overqualified. I took a big pay cut. What made you do that, though? Because you, so New York Daily News, you were, were you working in a newsroom? I worked, qualified but y'all were qualified yeah we're very qualified i took a big pay cut what made you do that though because you so new york daily news you were were you working in a newsroom i i worked as a freelancer multiple publications okay and uh and i love comic books i grew up reading comic books i love them an amazing art form as you know amazingly taught me to read and i just thought i'd have an impact so i went I went to Vertigo line which did a adult oriented material at DC comic books and had a good career there with books like Preacher

and 100 Bullets and then Marvel came a knocking at 2000 and I went to them when they were in bankruptcy and the company was in dire straits you know I had so much fun they give me Spider-Man the Hulk what's not to like you know you think comic book is is uh i guess a form that's that's dying and the reason i asked that as a kid i know you're from california but in new york every bodega had comic books every store had comic books when i went grocery shopping with my mom she would go get groceries and i go to the comic book section so but now i don't see it as much it almost feel like it has to be a destination spot it has to be a barns and nobles it has to be a comic book store do you think it's a it's dying and how do you that's a distribution problem that's not a problem with the art form the art form itself is inherently

amazing it's only as limited as your imagination and your talent and your guts so the art form is going to evolve there'll be more digital use of the medium so again for me it's a distribution problem like you i met comic books. I read comic books because my grandma would pick me up after school, take me to the dime store, and I'd buy a comic book off the rack, you know, on a Friday. So it's a distribution problem. Once you solve that, there's no stopping us.

The comic book market is projected to be a $21 billion business by 2029. Like, it's still making billions of dollars. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And does digital help or hurt? The reason, because, you know... It's complimentary. I'm still a guy that likes to hold a paper in hand.

You know what I mean? It's complimentary. I mean, when it comes down to it, like, for me, all my music, I listen to on my iPad. You know, my iPhone. I don't own CDs anymore. True. But with comic books, I select. Some things I read digitally, but there's stuff I have to put on my shelf.

You know, you just have to. Like Illuminati. How many comic books do you have? Some things I read digitally, but there's stuff I have to put on my shelf. You know, you just have to. Like Illuminati. How many comic books do you have? How many comics do you have? Me? Too many. How much is too many?

Just if you could just round about. Oh, man. Oh, man. Probably about 2,000. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, yeah. But it's for my own as a kid, you know? Some of them are investments then. Yeah, yeah.

Exactly. That's what you tell your wife. Baby, these are investments. Yeah, yeah. Before we get into AWA and Illuminati, tell them some of the things you did at marvel some of the groundbreaking things that people will remember well the thing i'm most proud of is that um in 2015 i'm hip-hop head and for me i was just really tired of seeing the lack of hip-hop in comic books when hip-hop is giving so much love to the form,

like from Green Lantern to Johnny Blaze, Iron Man, you name it, Ghostface. To see all this stuff happening, hip-hop giving so much love to Marvel comic books and Marvel being silent, I thought was inexcusable. So I did the Hip-Hop Variant Program, where we did 128 covers that were based on classic hip-hop album covers that

span 30 years. Everything from like Ultramagnetic MC's and School E.D. the OG stuff to Future and Drake. That's dope. And every single cover was up an homage to a classic album cover done by an amazing artist and it just showed how many people drawing and writing comic books. You bobbing you had hip-hop when you're doing this not the Beatles yeah and also to you know they used to call you a diversity superhero you are diversity superhero at Marvel Marvel and during your five years at Marvel correct me what I'm wrong about you created Miss Marvel there were a lot of things involved yeah yeah Mas Morales my watch Morales. Was on my watch.

Kamala Khan. Yep. The female Black Panther. That's right. And we did that. Everyone said, who wants that? That I remember seeing. Yeah, I mean, when I did the female Black Panther, people were like, what's it about?

Who cares about that? Now it's a whole movie. It saved the franchise. That's right. Yeah, it saved the franchise. I mean, what's not to like about a female Black Panther? You did a female Thor. Female Thor.

Yep. Which also made it to the movie. Black Captain America 2000. Black Captain America. Isaiah Bradley as Black Captain America. Because I didn't buy the origin story of Captain America.

I don't believe that Uncle Sam in 1940 would have experimented on white boys. That's right. I talked to Robert Morales, the writer. He was a journalist.

He said, I agree. I'll write this. We got Kyle Baker, iconic artist, to do the series It was about a man named Isaiah Bradley who was the first guy who was experimented on with the super soldier serum So it's the first Captain America was black now that got me death threats I was about to ask you what was your pushback in your life like because you early in the DEI tons tons

Yeah, well, I'm half Mexican. My wife is Korean. So I gotta be You did the Asian Hulk Amadeus Cho? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm half Mexican and my wife is Korean, so I got to be. Got you. Okay. You did the Asian Hulk, Amadeus Cho. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did Amadeus Cho as well. My wife is Korean, so my nephews were amazed by that. The thing I enjoy about all your characters, all of them have made it to the TV or big screen at this point. You know, Miles Morales, we know how those movies are. They're great.

Miss Marvel is a Disney Plus show. Exactly. Female Thor was in the movies. No Shuri is the Black Panther now in the movie. Amadeus Cho is coming to Marvel now. Isaiah Bradley is in the TV show Captain America Winter Soldier and he's going to be in the movie.

Well, I feel validated because for me, I'm a young Mexican kid and I'm looking at these superheroes and where's a Mexican superhero? There ain't none. I like Black Panther the most. Why? Because he had the best costume on Earth.

I was disappointed when he was black. I wanted to be Mexican. So, one more thing. And you signed Ta-Nehisi Coates. Ta-Nehisi Coates. To write the Black Panther series. Yeah, Reggie Hudlin before him. Yes.

With Black Panther for six years. He reinvigorated the character. And then Ta-Nehisi Coates came on and did an amazing run as well. Axel Alonso was a legend. Yeah. I wanted to ask, since you created a lot of these characters, do you get I guess equity in these characters?

Because you created these and like you said, some of these characters are saving the franchise, making movies and all that. I wouldn't say I created them. I wouldn't say I created them so much as I was involved in their creation. In the case of the Black Panther, Shuri, Reggie Hudlin said to me, let's make things up.

Let's put Shuri in the costume. I said, I'm down. Let's do this. It makes perfect sense to us to do this. It's about time we did that. Amadeus Cho was the same thing. I thought, how about we have a new Hulk, optimistic, fun, not, you know, gloom and doom Bruce Banner. We have Amadeus

Cho. Next thing you know, we have a Korean Hulk. So for me, it was a necessity. I wanted to see characters like myself when I was a kid. So I can imagine people want to see themselves. That's right.

Seeing Spider-Man peel back his mask and you see a black face, it's seismic. That's right. And how did you hook up with Charlemagne? I know we don't have

much time because we get this on now. How did you hook up with Charlemagne? Charlemagne started talking with my partner some years ago. His interest in promoting black artists. Did you ever see his tattoo see his tattoo yeah i've not i've seen that in a

picture i think you have a comic tattoo i have wolverine tattooed on my arm with a microphone in the same but i got it when i was 16 17 years old oh it looks terrible it looks hard okay i'll check it out later okay whoa okay but yeah so how did y'all get there so y'all said this is what you want to do and how'd you come up with the franchise and Illuminati and all that other stuff and what you wanted to call it?

When I understood what Sherman's goals were, I said, it just so happened I have this amazing pitch called Black Illuminati by Brian O'Doherty, filmmaker and comic book writer

that's amazing. It's about the number one conspiracy theory of the day, the urban legend. I mean, you see Mecca Platinum Star going like this on TV.

That's right. Someone shows up in pants with sig this on TV. That's right. Someone shows up in pants with sigils on it. P. Diddy's mansion is raided. That's right. It's a conversation. Who's out there? It's the most enduring urban legend. This story leans hard into that. Any resemblance to characters living or dead is coincidental unless you don't want it to be. It may or may not be based on a true story. That's right. So when you see these DJs getting aired out by some of these executives and they look a little similar, they have names like DJ Jealousy.

Don't think that it has anything to do with anybody you know. Are they fighting with Baby Oil? What are you talking about? Don't worry about it. You'll see. If you use Baby Oil, not the Baby Oil, it turns into a special force field of power. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, my God.
