Good morning, Tess. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, beautiful Alicia and Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, Tess. I guess I should have got that ticket in L.A. The one time I didn't get the ticket. I know. All right. Well, let's jump right into it. A lot went on yesterday with Carly Russell. So what's given some updates? Oh, this is a lot to unpack. The Hoover Police Department held a news conference to provide an update on the Carly Russell investigation. Now, for those that don't know, Carly Russell is the Alabama woman who disappeared last week after she said she saw a toddler walking on the interstate.

Now, during the press conference, the chief of police said that there's no reason to believe that there's any threat or danger to the public because the public was really concerned, wanted to make sure, hey, was there somebody out there? So they wanted to make sure that people know that there was no threat or danger to the public connected to this case. He also went further to say that police have not been able to confirm much of the information provided by Russell in her initial interview with police. So let's keep in mind she's interviewed with them once, not twice. They're looking for that second interview from her and she has not met with them yet. The chief of police also said that Russell's toxicology report was not suspicious and that there is currently no indication of mental illness. So based upon her health record, based upon interviews with her family, they said they cannot confirm the mental illness.

I thought that was important to also point out to folks. Police have still not officially determined if it if a crime was committed in this incident. Now, police also provided details from the investigation, which included a search of her possible Internet search history in the days leading to her disappearance. Let's listen to some of that and then we'll talk about it on the other side. On July 11th at 730 a.m., the, you have to pay for an Amber Alert, was searched. On July 13th at 1.03 a.m., the day of her disappearance, the term, how to take money from a register without being caught, was searched. On July 13th at 2.13 a.m., the day of her disappearance, the term, Birmingham bus station, was searched. On July 13th, 2.35 a.m., a search for a one-way bus ticket from Birmingham to Nashville was conducted with a departure date of July 13th. On July 13th, at 12.10 p.m., a search for the movie Taken, a film about a production, was conducted.

Some random ass searches. But, you know, this is why I told y'all don't be in a rush to be on either side of you know whether she was lying or not let the facts come out and the truth will come out with it is the whole story all the way out out though or is just the text messages have been released um i think just i don't think the whole thing is yeah the text message is the search i don't think the whole story is out of yet they're trying to get a second interview and i don't think she granted the second interview my only thing when we heard the story the first time the reason i was questionable is when you said a toddler was walking down the highway, right? And we seen a video of the traffic on that highway.

And the fact that she was the only person allegedly that's seen that child, that's the only thing that raised. Because you're on the highway. More people will say, hey, I seen a kid on the side of the road. Or I seen a kid on the side of the road. Only one person seen this kid on the side of the road that was walking. I don't remember them telling us it was a highway at first yeah it was it was a highway she but i think i just thought they said she saw a toddler walking no it was a highway on the highway i mean i know it was a highway we found that out but i don't remember that yeah they said that in the original story

and and just as another point of clarity for those uh that want to know you know didn't get a chance to watch the press release uh they were able to uh see that she did drive 600 yards claiming that she followed was following this toddler you know so when they told her you know keep following the toddler she's like okay yeah i'm following that's some of the surveillance that the video that came out earlier this week and 600 yards just so in case folks don't know what that is that's like six football fields right so again apparently following a toddler on the highway for six football fields and and nobody seeing that toddler is definitely suspicious. That's definitely strange.

Only thing I don't like when the police say, you know, there's no threat or danger out there. It's code for she lied. Sure. But there is a threat of danger because human trafficking is real. No, no. Meaning in this case directly because people were very scared in that area. Human traffickers in that area. But he's meaning threat in that particular case because people were scared in that case. I'm were very scared in that area. But that don't mean he's not human traffickers in that area. But he's meaning threat

in that particular case because people were scared in that case. I'm sure. She made it all up. All I'm saying is the threat of human trafficking is real and there's

hundreds of thousands of women and children who go missing, especially black ones, every day. So, you know, there is a threat of human trafficking out there.

It might not be the person she'd make it made of. Well, Alicia, let me ask you a question. I've seen a lot of women upset about this because they saying you know the threat with human

trafficking like Charlamagne said is serious and because this they feel like maybe law enforcement or police might take you know cases serious anymore so how do you feel about

that yourself Tez as well because you guys are women and it's it's really dealt with a lot of women getting kidnapped 1000% I mean first of all I always believe black women

let's start there which is why so many of us rallied immediately I know Elle like Charlotte what you said we have to make sure all the facts come out first but when we see one of us missing Tez I'm sure you can agree we're instantly

reposting posting because society will look for Waldo before they look for us let's just keep that a buck you know what I mean and so on his face obviously we're hoping that there's more to this story that kind of leads more credence to what she's saying but looking real sus yes well you know coming from the an activist standpoint when you look at uh anybody being missing you have to respond immediately you know within 24 hours we don't really have time to wait. I think that's anybody. The 48-hour period, which also is another point. She came back right at the 48-hour period, but

time is of the essence. I think it's important that we do that, whether we're talking about Black women or if we're talking about the story I did a month ago about the Cleveland, almost 30 children who went missing in Cleveland that I don't see people talking about. Whether it's women, black women, black men, black us, period. The stats show that they do not look for us in general. However, I to Charlamagne's point, when he says that, you know, there still is a threat and we still need to talk about the larger issue, that's important as well. But two things can be true at the same time.

You know, folks were like Tamika Mallory,ory for example she went live yesterday to talk about her disappointment uh you know in this young lady if if we find out that it is not true because again she still has to interview and we still have to go through the process um so there's some disappointment and some empathy i have for her mother if this was not true you know sending her mother through that type of terror right uh you know that upsets me um and so we just have to unpack, you know, all of this and not not not make this conflate this into one big thing, but talk about each thing. For example, mental illness. The reason why I pointed that out, there were a lot of folks in the mental illness community that reached out to say, hey, we don't want the stigma of every time something happens saying, oh, it must be mental illness, because then, you know, we're not really digging into what happened. Obviously, she created this type of scheme. Something is off. But we got to be careful of misdiagnosing folks as well, you know, and still holding her accountable. She did. If she did this and she lied, she needs to be held accountable. She needs charges.

We need to be very clear about that. But we also feel like Charlemagne, the larger point, talk about what are we doing uh in general um you know for missing the missing folks and furthermore as a black woman i would also like to say they don't take our cases serious to begin with false false claims are not the reason they don't take the cases of missing black women and children serious it's because they are black and think about it uh if they were allegedly looking for her for 48 hours they couldn't even find her and she wasn't even really missing so that lets you know they wasn't really looking mb it makes sense to me you identify as i'm 50 black woman so i can see so are you like i said so are you i don't know if you didn't realize that those are the ingredients that make humans men and women what's your what's your thoughts on accountability he's dominican don't worry about

i mean i i agree with what you said i i mean i i think like this this can take away from uh other black women when they become missing because you know police uh i don't agree with that i do i know because they don't take the case as serious to begin with i do but not only that like you just see the people that got behind this case right because everybody was like we want the same amount of press that was behind the submersible right so what's going to happen is in another another time this happens people are going to be less likely to post because they're going to say well let's see what happens first oh that's different but that's but that's where accountability within our own community that's right you know is you know prevalent should be prevalent yeah me and ted talked about that

yesterday well let's uh get it off your chest tes we'll see in a couple minutes thank you so much 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Power 105.1 weather. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed. It's time to get up and get something. Call up now. 800-585-1051.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Here, Mr. Evie. What's up, Trav? Solomon. Peace, sis. What up, Trav? Uh-uh.

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Who we got up there today helping us over today? Alicia Renee. Hi, Trav. What's going on, Ms. Alicia Renee? How you doing? I can't complain, baby.

How are you? Trav, you got Audible? I'm doing good. That's not your budget. I'm calling up there to talk about this raggedy bitch, Carly Russell. Oh, Lord have mercy. I'm calling about this raggedy bitch, Carly Russell. See, I don't like that.

Girl, you shouldn't be able to call her a bitch just because she lied. I don't like that. Any other time y'all been saying don't talk to a black woman like that. You shouldn't be able to call her a bitch just because she lied. I don't like that. Any other time y'all been saying don't talk to a black woman like that. He didn't call her a bitch. When I say bitch, you don't have to be a man or a woman. It could be just like Justin Smollett. He a raggedy bitch too. Go ahead, Trav.

I don't think it's just because she a woman. I think it's highly disrespectful of what she did and now black women a lot of these people not gonna take black women seriously now that's not true we gotta stop saying that they weren't taking us serious to begin with they weren't taking us black women seriously

they took her serious they took her serious what are you talking about they did their job they did their job I mean like white folks as far as the police the resources and everything man they did their job. I mean, like white folks. I mean, as far as like the police, the resources and everything. Man, they did their job. That's what we pay police to do.

Investigate whether or not somebody lying. Police can't decide, oh, I don't believe the person, so I can't investigate. We pay them to do their job. That's what taxpayers' money go to. I don't like when we say we wasted their resources. No, we didn't. They did their job. Lauren, good morning.

Good morning, guys. Get it off your chest, Lauren. So I wanted to talk about the missing woman case that's going on. I hope they just find her some psychological help. Not every situation needs to be dealt. This obviously is like a crime to help. I don't know why she did it. The information still isn't complete

because she hasn't made her statement. But is it to come out that she made this all up? I just hope they just find out. The justice system just be so cruel sometimes and not every situation needs to be in jail.

I know y'all say that but she definitely going to jail if she lied to them people. I'm telling you that right now. But this the thing, right? And I guess we could ask Tez, right?

How many times have we heard stories of Karen lying on black people and nothing happened? Hello? We hear that all the time. They'll lie,

they said this and they'll put black people's lives in danger and they get no jail time. That's it. Although what I think she did is wrong.

If you're not going to lock up everybody else that lies about us when we do certain things you can't lock her up is there legal standing is that legal yeah because can you go to jail for i'm sure you can oh i'm sure you can absolutely are you you telling the absolute truth but here's the thing she is black and y'all gotta stop with these uh what ifs when you know what it is when we black no you're right but that doesn't make it fair. And that doesn't make it right. Because we've seen so many cases. It's America. In Central Park.

Remember the man that was watching the bird? The bird watching man. And the lady called. And the cops and this, that, and the other. And they came. And he could have got shot. She didn't go to jail. This is America.

And in America, all of this laughing and joking could turn into two, three years for that young lady real quick. I saw Roy Wood say that yesterday. And that's very true. Very true. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, three years for that young lady real quick. I saw Roy Wood say that yesterday, and that's very true. Very true. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. Envy, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. I just want to let y'all know we tried to go to his caller. This lady's name was Rochelle. She wanted to get it off her chest. She said she can't listen to Young Jeezy anymore. And the reason is because she said, you stupid. She said her ex cheated on her and took the girl to the Jeezy concert.

Her co-worker caught them. And because of that, she can't listen to Jeezy. She not on the phone? No, she hung up, man. I was trying to get to her. Damn. You got to let that burn, sis. Damn.

That ain't Jeezy for a moment. That is definitely not Jeezy for a moment. You can't do that to Jeezy. I can understand the trauma, though, that being attached to it. Especially if Jeezy was her and her boo favorite artist. Well, damn it, man. I might have been their guy. You took her to a Jeezy was her and her boo favorite artist. Well, damn it, man. I might have been that guy. You took her

to a Jeezy concert and not me. Dang. Hello, who's this? Good morning, and good morning, Leonardo and Alicia. Not Leonardo.

It's not Leonardo. Yo, I really like Leonardo. Now I'm starting to see the turtle. I'm starting to see the head. Yes. That's all. I used to get that

in middle school. Leonardo, I like that. That's all. All right. Get it off your chest. That's not because he spelled my name wrong i spelled your name when you tried to make yeah when you tried to make a donation to watch her win let's talk about that now i try listen i wanted to make the donation i was going to donate a nice amount of money but it said that you got to pay a dollar a month it would not let let me do any. I couldn't even make the donation if I didn't agree to pay a dollar a month

from here on out. That is not true. I promise you. I built my website. I mean, I'm a tech person. I'm telling you. All you have to do is click on PayPal and then put whatever.

If you want to donate a dollar, donate a dollar. Not everybody with quality. You know, Unc is kind of slow with the, with the, with the tech stuff, mama. It could be a

clickable link, bro, if you check it. Oh, you're right. Yeah. He's not the brightest. Hold on one second, A lot of times it's a clickable link.

Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Anton. Anton, what up? Get it off your chest. Man, I'm calling about the young lady who lied on, you know,

with all this investigation. Y'all remember when the Caucasian lady did the same thing and she ghosted her fiance at the altar, but they gave her like seven years. She might be still in prison. Which one? So many of them sons.

The one in California, I think it was. A couple of years back. He's right. She claimed that this Hispanic couple kidnapped her. Same case, right? No, not that one. The one that ghosted her husband and they was looking for her. That's the one. We're talking about the same thing. Yes, she claimed that it was the

Hispanic family that kidnapped her and had her locked up in some dungeon or something like that. But then she was with her ex-boyfriend and the ex-boyfriend came and said, nah, she lied. She was with me these couple of weeks. They sent her to prison. I think she got about five to seven years.

Yeah, Sherry Papini. Plus a big five. No, she got 18 months. You talk about Sherry Papini. I remember that. She got 18 months. Right. So, like, DC Youngfly said, bring your ass here.

She got to go, baby. Hey, good morning, Breakfast Club. I don't know what the laws are in california uh in alabama but yes uh sherry papini did get 18 months in prison for faking her own abduction but tess correct me if i'm wrong i think that they were a little stricter with her because she specifically likes like she gave a complete breakdown there was a lot of police resources that were expended right like it was just more of a she collected some social security money she did all that so she could collect disability from social security yeah well i mean and let's just compare this i

mean we all know that people talk of bringing up the jesse swamette story um so when we looked at his story and how and how he also you know faked uh his assault he was ordered to pay 120 000 a little over that for restitution to the city of Chicago for those resources that were spent, which also would have been spent in Carly's case. He also was sentenced to 150 days in jail for lying to police, and then of the felony. So I think his case is probably similar to this one, but it's really that false police report

and those resources that they can make her pay back. I think she hit the nail on the head when she was like you see she came back within that 48 hours when she came back at 47 47 is that true i don't know yeah like literally yeah she was right on the mark yeah again we do i'm interested in seeing the second interview i'm really interested to see what they can press you know she's gonna get an attorney she's not you're not gonna get a second interview she's gonna get an attorney and and it's gonna it's gonna be a a suit she's not gonna do a second interview there's no way in hell any attorney would uh would allow her to do a second interview i just don't want people to use this as an opportunity to minimize the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of missing black women and children in this country

you know what i mean like i don't want people to start saying like this is why they don't take us serious no they wasn't taking it serious before like right and charlemagne's right with that and we we agree on that but i also want people to understand when this happens i'm really thinking about charlemagne like i said the youth that we're trying to get involved and when they say oh you know what's the point and i know you i know we say well they're not gonna be down anyway um and? And I know you I know we say, well, they're not going to be down anyway. And we get that. But I just we want to keep people engaged. We want to keep people involved. And we still have to go hard. You know, we still have to go hard tomorrow, the next day, the next day. And there's going to be some disappointment, but we have to have some accountability in our community as well. And we have to stay in the fight. So all of these things be true at the same time.

Charlamagne, you're right. It's not about a white issue. And if if white people care or not i'm concerned that those who are easily disappointed you know oh yeah i ain't even talking about white people i'm just talking about simple math if if one if one situation can make you not engaged as opposed to hundreds of thousands of people who are actually missing then i don't think you really want to be down all right well when we come back we got your rumor report we got to tell you about Snoop Dogg. He shares why he's never been invited to the Roc Nation brunch. We'll tell you about that when we come back. And don't forget, Oscar De La Hoya will be joining us next hour.

I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, Snoop Dogg has claimed that he's never been invited to Jay-Z's Rock Nation brunch. There's a couple of people that said they haven't been invited to the brunch, and people are upset about it. Well, Snoop Dogg spoke about it, but you could tell he was joking, of course. I don't get invited to none of the Rock Nation brunches.

I be sitting over them. Don't feel bad. Me neither. Okay. As long as me and Snoop at home together, I ain't mad at it. I know why they don't want me to come. Why?

Because I'm going to be the sharpest. Okay. They know when I walk in, my outfit going to turn everything out. You understand me? So they're like, we don't want to keep that. Keep that.

Go away. All the next parties got to be fashion shows now. No, it's all good. I'm f***ing with you. That's my guy. You know what I'm saying? I just ain't had time to slide to one of those brunches. Maybe next time we can all go together.

Yeah, I mean, like, as if they're going to deny Snoop Dogg. Not at all. You know what I'm saying? Snoop Dogg could walk into any establishment with a blunt in his mouth and they'll let him in. Probably even the White House. Yeah, probably. And there's two events that people always want to go to and seem like they'll do anything to go to. One is Jay-Z's Roc Nation brunch.

And the other is Mike Rubin's Fourth of July july party the white party yeah the white party i don't know about my group before july people a lot of people won't go to that maybe now if mike keep hugging people from the back it's gonna be a lot of people that's gonna go out there for a good time mike you better be careful right you better be careful mike i mean a lot of people say they want to hug from the back from you. Okay. Jesus. Now, shout out to Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg and E-40 also have partnered to drop their first cookbook. It's titled Goon with the Spoon.

It's set to be released on November 14th where they share some of their crazy and amazing recipes. Easy call. No brainer. Drop on the Clues bombs for E-40. So I can cook? No, E-40 can cook. Yes. I've been following E-40 on Instagram Uncle can cook? No, E-40 can cook. Oh. Yes. For sure.

Don't even try. The lies he tells. Wow. Oh, no, Leash can cook, though. We can have a cook-off. I want to do a gumbo off E-40 if you're listening. Oh, no. I know 40 can't touch Leash can cook, though. We can have a cook-off. I want to do a gumbo off E-40, if you're listening. I know 40 can't touch Leash gumbo now. I ain't even worried about that.

Now, shout out to Kyrie Irving. We were talking about this case the other day on Front Page News about a South Carolina woman that was protecting her family home. They were trying to take her home. It was in Hilton Head Island, and she wanted to pass it on to her family. Seems like the developer has been trying to get this 147 unit complex next to her property has been having problems. Well, Kyrie Irving decided to help out and gave her $40,000 to help her fight that case. That's right.

Definitely a close bond for Kyrie Irving. Did you know recently that Tyler Perry was trying to help her also hold on to her family land? I think Tyler's been raising awareness for it. And my good brother brother Bakari Sellers is her attorney. He's representing her pro bono too, by the way.

So, yes, she's getting a lot of assistance. All right. And lastly, a New York Times article compiled a list of stories by 50 rappers and Gucci Mane

was one of them. Now, Gucci talks about he admitted that hustlers like Birdman voted him, motivated him to pursue a career as a musician.

He said he wasn't even really in love with hip hop. He said, I'm a hustler. I'm like, damn, I really don't want to sell dope all the time. It's too risky. If Jermaine Dupri can put out Criss Cross, Birdman ain't really a good rapper, and I got a little money, I can get in this. So they're saying that Birdman influenced him

to start rapping this game from the New York Times. That made perfect sense to me, though. What's that? It may sound like a diss, but I get what he's saying. Why is Birdman over here catching random strings? Random strings. He just minding his business. Damn.

But I guess if you think about it, if you look at it, he probably was like, damn, JD put out Criss Cross. They're wearing clothes backwards. I'm from Atlanta. And then you look at Birdman and nobody says, Birdman, he put out great songs, but nobody looks at Birdman as a lyricist, right? You don't put Birdman and you know nobody says you know Birdman he put out great songs but you don't know nobody looks at Birdman as a lyricist right you don't put Birdman

with Lil Wayne you know what I mean you don't put him on the same level as Hov right oh no that's a fact and I've always thought about stuff like that

I thought about stuff like that even in regards to the presidency right because everybody was like oh Barack Obama so inspiring Barack Obama you know makes

makes you feel like you know little black kids can be president now that's true that's facts and I'm like no let's see then Donald Trump more so because the bar is so low makes you feel like little black kids can be president now. That's true. That's facts. And I'm like, no. Yes, he did. Donald Trump more so because the bar is so low.

My God. You know what I'm saying? To be President Obama, you got to be exceptional. That's it. Think about all the things President Obama had to accomplish

before he became president. Trump, the bar was so low. Trump is the person that make you feel like, you know what? If he can do it, I can do it. And shook off a random squirrel, plopped it on his head, and got all the way to the White House.

Here she go with some country saying. What the hell did you just say? That little rat that's perched on top of his head. Okay. Not those country sayings. Something in the milk ain't clean, boy, I tell you. What in the milk is what? Something in the milk ain't clean.

I've heard that one before. I never heard that. You ever heard? Something in the milk not clean? That wash isn't rinsing. I heard. No. That's a washing machine, right?

Yes. What's the milk, though? The rinse ain't clean when it comes out the rinse. The milk ain't clean. It's spoiled the rinse. The milk ain't clean. It's spoiled. Oh. I think that's what it means. My God, Envy.

Really? You think what it means. That's what it means. Yeah, it's spoiled. Something is wrong. Something in the milk ain't clean. Something's not right. It's all coagulated.

Did I say that right? Coagulated? Now I'm sounding like you, Elle. Just coming up with stuff. Elle, fight for these words. All right. And that is your rumor report now when we come back

we got front page news Tezlan Figueroa will be joining us again and Oscar De La Hoya will be here so don't move it's The Breakfast Club good morning

The Breakfast Club your mornings will never be the same our audible pick of the day is Snoop Dogg's From the Streets to the Suites here's Snoop's journey from the streets

to Long Beach to hip hop legend listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible.com snoop everybody is dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got our special guest host with us today uh miss alicia renee hey boo all right and let's get into some front page news welcome back good morning alicia beautiful alicia we're having some great conversations today we all have some good conversations behind the scenes you ain't lying this behind the scenes conversation is off the chain now let's jump right into it let's talk about the IRS whistleblower what's going on now

yeah two whistleblowers provide the house oversight committee with their side of the story from the year-long investigation into Hunter Biden now the internal revenue services employees Greg Shapley and Joseph Zeigler, who were previously known as Whistleblower X, alleged that the U.S. Justice Department officials slow walked the investigation into President Joe Biden's youngest son. Let's listen to some of the exchange and we'll talk about it on the other side. Prosecutors instructed investigators not to ask about the big guy or dad when conducting interviews. Here's what goals me. I don't like these attacks on the Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS, as if they are somehow anti-U.S. agencies. And we could be, quite frankly, using our time to

better talk about crime in America that's affecting everybody, a tax on women's health, the economy, budgetary issues, public education, housing, the need for senior citizens to be able to pay for prescription drugs, child poverty and mental health, to name a few. And yet we are doing this all over again for the Hunter Biden show to someone who has pleaded guilty and has taken responsibility for not filing taxes for two years. He need to be in jail. If I didn't file taxes for two years,

they'd be locking all black asses up. Under the jail. That's fact. Okay. That's fact, but we gotta be real. I mean, his dad is the president. That is true. People can say whatever they want.

His dad is the president. He's gonna be in for a racial treaty. It is what it is. Well, he did take the pledge, you know, and so they feel like, you know, the plea, as you know. And so they feel like, you know, the case is over. Shapley said that the investigation treatment was different from any other case during his 14 year career with the agency. They said at every stage decisions were made that benefited the subject of the investigation.

They said that, as you heard, Democrats are saying, you know, you're spending time on this when he's already you know basically uh accepted responsibility and they also pointed to they didn't play that in the clip but they pointed to you know you still haven't been able to prove that president biden had anything to do with this and so i want to say this you know we again this goes back to accountability uh if they're going if democrats are going to say that Trump should be held responsible for election, using his influence to influence the election, if there is something to this, if they used President Biden's influence in the due process, then yeah, somebody needs to be held accountable. I don't think it's right to just say, oh, well, he is set responsibility, let's just move on. These whistleblowers are saying, one of which is a Democrat, by the uh that is saying no this investigation was held was not done the right way what do you guys think

uh i think you're absolutely right ted and i don't know why people act like they don't know how politics work because uh it's campaign season right now you know we got a presidential election uh next year they're gonna never stop talking about this same way that on the other side they don't stop talking about the things trump did or the things trump's family did like they're gonna keep bringing this hunter biden thing up you know i mean on the campaign trail so they should know that trump is never going to be found guilty of anything that is a teflon don my god and he should be under the jail for all the things i don't be honest with you i don't know i never thought he would get even get indicted at all so i don't i mean i really don't know that's what i'm saying he's not going to be found guilty of anything he

just keeps well he was already found well let's keep in mind, he was found guilty in the case with the, the lady, the suicide. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. On the civil suit. Right. So, so we'll see. There's some more indictments coming up.

Another indictment may possibly drop next week. They still have what's going on in Georgia. But again, I think what they're, what they're saying is if there was some wrongdoing, you know, during this investigation, people should be held accountable. And they're definitely not going to stop us. Their guy got two indictments and a possible third and fourth on the way. They're going to definitely... Not two and a possible.

Yes. So in their mind, they're like, okay, well, listen, this is happening to us. Well, guess what? Look what's happening over there. That's right. They should be held accountable, too. It's just going to be a bunch of finger pointing. That's all. If Trump get back in office,

what's going to happen? Revenge season. I'm looking for revenge. And it's a part of me that want to see it. I really don't. But it would be good in a movie. I wouldn't want to see it in real life, but just to see what Trump would do if he becomes president again.

I'm putting cases on all you bitches. I wouldn't want to see it in real life, but just to see what Trump would do if he becomes president again. Training day for real. I'm putting cases on all you bitches. That's right. Now let's talk about this over-the-counter birth control pill before we get up out of here. Yeah, I just quickly wanted to give this update.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legend. Oscar De La Hoya.

Welcome. Thank you. Now, we uh talking about the documentary the golden boy man i thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it man why do you think now is the time yeah and i appreciate that um you know ever since i was i was six years old when i started boxing i realized that i was conditioned to to become to become a fighter to become you know uh to take basically my my family my uncles my father they had a they had this vision like you know if i if we have this kid who is good in boxing and maybe one day he can take it

take us out of the hood you know which wasn't you was supposed to be your brother it was my brother right now that i'm i just turned 50 years old and so it's like i want to do it my way i want to i want to tell my story my way honest Honest, truthful, raw, real. Just, I mean, living with the lies for so many years, it eats you inside, man. You know, you can't go to sleep. You can't wake up in the morning, you know, just being honest with yourself. I lived it for so many years, man. And I was conditioned.

I believed my own lies all those years. That was my life. Do you feel like if you didn't lie, you wouldn't be the person you are now? Because everything was a story, right? It was a perfect storm. The Olympics and the fact that people thought that you're doing it for your mom because that was her last wish. People were sold on that story.

Oh, yeah. They were sold. And I think everything was meant to be. Because I don't think I would have had the drive to become world champion, to win the gold medal. You know, I mean, when I was a kid at 18 years old, I win the gold. And the reporter right after the fight, the first thing he tells me is, oh, you won this for your mom. I'm like, oh, yeah, okay, yeah. I won it for my mom.

So then the story just caught fire and i'm not gonna say anything you know um i'm just gonna do my job in the ring and train and fight and i became the golden boy and then the lie just kept going just kept going so the lie about the lie about your mother's last words being she wanted you to win the gold medal that came from the reporter yeah that came from the reporters that came from and i thought it was at the time i thought it was great i mean i really didn't think anything of it i was just a kid man just just agreeing with the reporter now you know what's interesting about that back in that those times whether it was whether you were a part of a boy band or you were some type of celebrity they did craft these stories oh yeah around you just for just for promotion no they

did you know and being a shy kid from east la whatever i mean i could have been from anywhere but i didn't really have a word i didn't really have anything to say you know it's like i just i just went along with whatever anybody told me you know i i was just doing my job and that's fighting you feel you feel like you know when sometimes we talk about the grace they talk about the great great parents right and the role that they played and the fact that sometimes it was abusive but that quote-unquote abusiveness made them who they are today as a parent are you the same way or even yeah do you dislike your father because of how he trained you and the person that he made you yeah well what's crazy is that my mother was physically abusive to me and my father was

emotionally abusive to me so it's like he like my father just physically abusive to me and my father was emotionally abusive to me. So it's like he like my father just the other year, like two years ago, I actually had the courage to go up to him and tell him that I love him because he couldn't do it to me. He couldn't tell me, you know, I love you. You never told your father you love him for two years ago. Yeah, just two years ago. So I and that that took a lot of courage for me, man. I was like, I didn't know how to do it. So one day, I think I drank a little tequila shot or something. And I went up to him and I said, Dad, I love you.

And I was scared for his reaction. I thought he was going to do something to me. Because that's what your head tells you. And so he just started crying, man. And he hugged me and he says, I love you too. Wow. At a young age, you were taught not to cry. Is there a time you remember when you realized that was considered mental health trauma?

You know, I stopped crying when I was like 13, when my mother would beat me up. And I was just numb at that point. But see, to your point, I mean, that's what built my character. It made me tough. So I would go in the ring as an amateur and as a pro. I would go in the ring and literally picture my mom's face, you know. And I would just get out of control and just start beating people up. So I guess she was my drive at the same time.

And then my father, you know, he was just like a tough guy. You know, he was just a tough guy pushing me every day. You know, you got to do this, you got to do that, you know he was just like a tough guy you know he was just a tough guy pushing me every day you know uh you got to do this you got to do that you know i mean there were times where my father never laid a hand on me but there were times where it's like i mean he he was close you know because i because i didn't want to go to the gym because i was tired maybe at 14 13 14 years old yeah i don't remember you didn't show your you didn't talk about your mother being physically abusive to you in the doc. Never. Yeah, I did. I don't remember.

I mentioned it a couple times where I just hated the fact that she would beat me up. I guess I just heard it as beatings. Yeah, I got beatings. I got real beatings. Were they beating you up or like beatings? Beating the belt, the hangers, and all that. Which was abuse. Yeah, that was abuse.

We didn't look at it as that back then. It seemed normal back then. It was normal back then. Yeah, it was normal back then. And I asked myself a lot of times, man, I wouldn't do that to my kids now. That's what I was asking. My youngest one is nine years old, and my oldest one is 25. I would never lay a hand on them. And I would never yell at them.

There's ways of doing things. And so I think to myself, okay, maybe I was abused. Now, the way you were with women, right? People would call you a womanizer. You was a whore, Oscar. People would call you a whore. I kind of was, man. A man whore, right?

Yes, they were part of the dogma. You told one girl, I don't even remember sleeping with you, but I thought there were 500 women since you. Right. 500? Well, the lawyer said that. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. The lawyer said it might have been like 200.

Gotcha. I was going to ask, what got you to the point? Was it a woman that hurt you? Was it maybe something in relationship with your mom that you missed? I think it was, now looking back at it, I think it was the relationship with my mom. Really? Yeah, because the abusive relationship, and it's like I hate it. I love her, right, because she's my mom, but I hate the living crap out of her because of what she did to me, you know, and how she treated me and the love she never gave to me.

And maybe it has something to do with that, you know, of women you know right because of my mom so damn now that i think about it you know when you talk about you said you went in the ring and used to see your mom's face it was just all that pain and hang anger that you carried with you so when you finally did tell the truth like how you're telling the truth now did it feel like a relief oh yeah yeah well the relief came the relief came a few years ago when i went to the cemetery and i just i just unleashed on her man my first words to her were i hate you and i had this big old letter that i was gonna you know read to her and um and and it just i was gonna apologize to her you know because i felt i felt that she was the victim and that i was the one you know

the kid doing wrong but instinctively i just said you know what i hate you and i just started crying and just and at the end i was like you know what i love you and boom i was like i felt released i felt like if i you know got my feelings out and i'm okay i'm okay now i mean you never got the opportunity to talk to her face to face and never did never did she never she never hugged me gave me a you know I love you or anything like that so it's damn it's it's pretty crazy yeah now you you when you uh starting your professional career as a boxer most people would reach out for huge promote but not even huge promoters huge managers right you got the manager from a GM dealership right worked out right but nobody would have went that way they would have seen they would have tried so what was why why did you go that route was that the only person you know or was it something that you said

i just like this guy no i mean my father put him there i mean put him in that position you know it's they were but he sold cars exactly exactly i mean i was i was smart enough to fire him a couple of years later, but that was my life, you know. It's like everybody told me what to do, and I had no problem with it. I asked no questions. I just wanted to train and fight. That's it.

Do you think your father pushed you so hard because he was living his dreams through you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he was. Oh, yeah. I mean, my father was a professional fighter. I think he had like eight fights, lost seven Oh, yeah. He was. Oh, yeah. I mean, my father, yeah, my father was a professional fighter. I think he had like eight fights, lost seven, you know. And so that's why. So my brother was actually the chosen one to be like the golden boy.

Right. But he just didn't like it. He quit. And that's when that's when my family said, you know what? OK, you're going to be the chosen one at six years old. All right. We got more with Oscar De La Hoya when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. All right, we got more with Oscar De La Hoya. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Oscar De La Hoya. Charlamagne? I wonder how you were able to have so much, it seems like, discipline to prepare for fights. Yeah. But you didn't have all that discipline outside the ring. Right, right.

You know what happened was, yeah, my discipline ended outside the ring, I you know you know what happened was yeah my discipline ended outside the ring i think when i was like like 22 you know because i was very disciplined in and outside of the ring when i would fight because i at one point my first year i fought like 13 times so i was in the gym every single day and then uh and then when i started getting fame and money and this and that so it's i got out of control. The bug just came in me and just took over. And I was this little famous guy in L.A. and women were everywhere. And I just got out of control.

I didn't know how to handle it. Nobody gave me a handbook. This is how you have to treat your life, treat yourself, or treat fame. And I just did what I can do, what what i knew and i took advantage of it and a lot of people took advantage of me and uh you know and that was my life man the quote-unquote picture the fishnet picture the picture did you think your career was over at that picture no no i didn't i didn't think it was over because uh what was your thought when you seen that picture when it was released? Yeah, I was obviously embarrassed and I was in pain because it happened so fast,

but I knew in back of my head, okay, I have enough power and money to make it disappear. I have people who are going to cover it up. This and that. We even... Pay a million dollars. I think it was more. But it still came out. have people who are going to cover it up this and that we we even we had a million dollars i think it was more you know but it still came out yeah it's and it still came out and i remember saying like okay i mean my life is over like the golden boy is tarnished that's it it's over but then this machine came out swept it all up you know and and we even got a forensic i don't know what they call him but um where where he came out and said some expert with photos

and Photoshopping and this and that. And he even said, you know what? These are not real. Oscar, stop it. Come on, man. Yeah, we even did that. The doc is supposed to be you telling the truth. You know damn well those pics in the fishnet.

No, no, they're real. They're real. Oh, okay. Oh, no, no, they're real. The way you did it in the doc, it was like, I guess I'm clear. In the doc, you made it seem like it was Photoshopped, and you was like i guess i'm clear oh yeah yeah yeah okay but they were real oh they're real yeah oh hell yeah okay what did your friends say because i can't imagine my friends would joke me to this day over that page like charlotte made you got the same kind of pictures

i'm the worst don't listen to him well look i mean look i mean i'm sure i'm sure i'm sure i'm sure we all have you know done something here and there behind closed doors. So it's like now today, it's like, yeah, I wish I would have known about it because I was probably sedated when that happened because I don't remember. The young lady you were dealing with, she said y'all were drinking and y'all were on substances. She wouldn't say what it was. Yeah, it could have been. It could have been, but I don't remember. Like, honestly, I don't remember.

They are real. It was me, but I don't remember. Why'd you't remember they are real it was me but i don't remember why'd you cut her off though she seemed like a nice woman like she like why'd you cut her off why'd you stop talking to her um you know what i would do what i would do back then um when i would meet women or it was it was mainly like i would go to a strip club or you know what you know and and i would meet these girls and stuff and and it would never be about sex it would never be no no hold on hold on i mean when when i would hold on hold on when they when when i would my intention was obviously but then i would start to like have conversations you know like just to feel close to somebody you know and she says it in the doc that girl she says in the doc she says you know yeah we would never have sex but he would always cry to me and he would always like with his mom

and this and that i was like oh i mean i don't remember most of it but it's like yeah it makes sense you know because it's like i i have this relationship with my mom that's like i love hate you know it's pretty crazy yeah and the doc you said for the first time during training camp with Pacquiao, you was getting drunk. Yeah. I wonder what role does sex and alcohol play in your losses to Trinidad and Shane Moses? No, I was focused in those. I was focused a thousand percent in those. But with the Pacquiao fight, I was getting beat up in training camp, which never happened before, by sparring partners.

And so the last two weeks of training camp, I started just drinking. I was in good shape, but I started drinking a lot. And so when I went inside the ring against Pacquiao, I was already a dead man walking. I had no chance whatsoever. When you fought Pacquiao, did you do it for money or did you really just want to do it for the sport? Because I couldn't tell if you were really having money issues. Were you having money issues? No, I never had money issues.

I never had money issues. I don't know how, for some strange reason, I've been able to do well. But it was just for the glory, man. It was for the glory. I mean, my career, you know, I was the kid who they always, it's like, you know, that commercial, remember a long time ago, oh, Mikey will eat it, you know i i was the kid who they always it's like you know that commercial remember a long time ago oh mikey will eat it you know that cereal thing yeah it's like okay yeah oscar will fight him you know that's just the way it was like i i want to take on everybody and so

when i heard this pacquiao coming up i was like all right i'll fight him no problem but yeah money issues no i never had money issues i want i want to ask about floyd you and floyd have have had a love-hate relationship. Sometimes you seem like you're in love. Sometimes you seem like you hate each other. What do you think about some of the recent things he's been doing, these exhibition flights? Do you think it tarnishes his record or him as a boxer? I don't think it'll tarnish his fighting, professional fighting career that he's had but you know in people's eyes maybe some people that

really don't know boxing that are not you know experts or whatever or they're casual fans maybe they can have the impression that oh wait that's floyd like you know doing these exhibitions and and he doesn't look the same as he did 15 years ago you know he's not the invincible floyd so people will have that impression you know and so maybe maybe that'll kind of stick with him for a while. But his career inside the ring as a professional, he's going to be one of the all-time greats. I love the part of it, Doc. I can't remember who you were fighting, but it was when you were talking about issues with your first wife. And you were fighting, and that's when you said you ran from all your problems.

But they did it to where it's a correlation between what's happening in the ring and what's happening in your real life. But do you still run from all your problems, but they did it to where it's like, it's a correlation between what's happening in the ring and what's happening in your real life. But do you still run from all your problems? No, no. I face them head on, man. I face them head on. I've never been so free in my life, you know? And it took 50 years, man.

It took 50 years to just come out with the truth, you know, and tell the story my way, you know, the real way. Yeah, it's never too late i think you know and i i can finally i i mean i have like two three years of sleeping great at night wow for nothing for a time in your life ever i was gonna ask you know what this documentary seemed like a lot of things you regret you know what's the biggest thing that you regret whether it's you know the way you treated your wife, the way you treated family members. What's the biggest thing that you regret?

I think the only regret I have is like not being there for my kids. Yeah. Some of them, there's like three of them you didn't even know you had or two, right? No, I mean, eventually, you know, the news came out and that's how I found out. Right. But not having a relationship like for a few years when they were kids that that's that's the one part i i most regret you know i mean i can't i can't take it back but you know now it's still a work in progress i'm not i'm not like you know super father now i'm what's the

relationship with them now do y'all speak y'all cool yeah we're all good we're all good i mean you know i i love them i every time i see him where we hug. Whenever we hang out, we're like family, obviously. But there's still that little reserve energy that it's like, oh, man, you weren't there for me. Kids never forget. They never forget. What was the moment that you had to fix up? Because we've seen the drugs. You talk about the substance abuse.

We've seen the charges brought against you. When was the moment that you were like i have to change man i don't know the specific time and day but yeah a long time ago years ago but i couldn't i didn't know how i wasn't ready you know and that's i think that's the word i wasn't ready i think my destiny was to be ready just literally a couple years ago you know i just wasn't ready i i i didn't know how to be ready it's like i was i don't know if you call it a late bloomer or whatever you might call it but it's i just was not ready all right we got more with oscar de la joya when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning documentary bernard said that uh when y'all started golden boy you

didn't want to become what you despise you think golden boy did become what fighters despise because right now y'all are suing ryan garcia no we don't we didn't we didn't become uh we're sticking to our to our word i mean we didn't become the don kings of this world you know we're we treat fighters fair you know what's happening now with fighters is that everybody wants to become a businessman everybody wants all fighters want to think that they they're in charge of their career outside the ring like you have to focus inside the ring but it's like and you need the necessary people the smart people outside the ring and a lot of these fighters they think instantly that promoters are at fault

and it's not like that i mean not with us i mean we're you know bernard hopkins and myself we we're we're real man we're we treat fighters with respect we treat fighters you know we fairly you know we're just we work for the fighter that's what we do but a lot of these fighters they think that they always deserve more when are those fighters earning i mean learning early which y'all learned late because you did i hope so yeah i hope so look i I mean, what better person than me to mentor these kids, you know? And whatever kid wants to, like, ask me questions, I'm there to guide them and to help them, to give them some advice if they ask me. Because I can't go and, like, preach to them, okay, you got to do this, this, this, and that.

They're not going to listen. But if they come to me and they ask me, then'm more than happy to tell them you know that kind of contradicts what you just said though because you sound like you was a little upset that these kids want to have more control over their career it's i mean it's it's the it's not not how should i say it's not control it's they they just don't know the business so they ask for way more than what is like what is what is there you know and in the pot i i encourage them to learn the business. We actually encourage, we tell them everything. We sit them down in the numbers and this and that.

But you do need somebody who's smart, somebody who can focus on the business alone in your team. And the fighter should be the fighter. That's your job. And so fighters today, they just want to like, they don't know the business. And so that's when it gets a little you know right you think y'all could still have a good relationship with someone like a ryan garcia being that y'all y'all are suing him right now yeah we are we are suing him uh you know to honor his contract that's basically it's like

and that's what i'm saying about these kids now it's like they don't really understand contracts and this and that and it's like we have a solid contract that you just have to honor that's what I'm saying about these kids now. It's like they don't really understand contracts and this and that. And it's like we have a solid contract that you just have to honor. That's it. I sued you because just to let you know that you have to honor your contract. I didn't sue you for anything else. I just sued you for just to honor your contract. You're not trying to get no more extra money or anything?

No, no, no. Not at all. Just to honor your deal. Can a fighter focus like that? Could Ryan focus like, I got to go out here and fight for this guy. I don't even really want to fight. Yeah, I mean, look, literally, because I like Ryan, man. And I took him under my wing and everything.

And then he grew to a different level. And he has his own people and this and that. And it hurts. It hurts because you take a kid like Ryan and you want to mentor him and, and you want to, you know, teach him the ropes. And then,

and then this happens. Um, yeah, I, I think, I think you can, you know, forgive and forget,

you know, I guess, you know, you, you think you could have showed Ryan Garcia more grace after his loss to tank because you, you kind of, you,

you, you lost to Bernard Hopkins kind of the same way. Body shot. Yeah. You know, you feel like you could have showed him a little more grace after that loss to Tank? Because you lost to Bernard Hopkins kind of the same way. Body shot. Yeah. You feel like you could have shown him a little more grace after that loss? I really don't understand that. I've been there for him all along. I was there for him the whole week of Vegas, this and that.

I don't know if you were there, but if you would have been there at the fight it was crazy it was nuts i mean people i've never seen anything like it it was i mean i think the arena was overflowed by like 3 000 people it was just nuts people standing standing room only it was i've never seen anything like it and so after after the fight i'm walking down with my security guards and they were just like sardines just trying to get out and i hear this voice like hey um you know watch watch your back you know it's going to happen tonight and and and right away i just panicked like oh like i just got threatened so i told hopkins you you go take care of you know so he went to ryan's locker room and

then all my executives were at ryan's locker afterwards, and they were even on stage with him after the fight. But the fact that I wasn't, now I'm the bad guy. I was just trying to get out of there. Because when you get something like that in your ear, I had no clue who it was because I'm looking around at so many people. I just told my security guard, hey, let's get out of here. So you would have left even if Ryan would have won? If they told me that? yeah, I would have. I would.

I had to. And you had that conversation with Ryan. He understood that? I don't think he understood it. What is boxing missing? Because it feels like they're great fighters, but no stars and no top-notch promotion. They had top-notch promotion for you and the Mayweathers. What do you think is missing i think it's uh i think if hbo 24 7 comes back you know would be would be a positive for the sport but i really

do think that there's there's there's an overflow of too much talent you know so there yeah it's crazy really there's a lot of talent out there now but so we don't have enough spots on tv to showcase all this talent to have a consistency you know fighters there now but so we don't have enough spots on tv to showcase all this talent to have a consistency you know fighters are now fighting once a year you have this crawford spence fight coming up i mean mega fight yeah it should be a mega yeah no it's a mega it should be a mega fight but it's like the casual fan or like doesn't really know who they are us boxing fans know and it's gonna be a big fight it's gonna be a event, but it's not like a Delahoya Mayweather, you know, where you had 24-7 HBO and the casual fans knew outside of boxing who we were. They do have a year.

So you can't get the exposure. You can't get the rhythm going. You know, in the ring, you fight once a year, and it's like, and you take a break for 10 months. Like, you know, you got to be consistent in boxing. Who you got, Spencer Crawford? I got Crawford. Really? Yeah, I got Crawford.

Yeah, I think he's a little more elusive. I think, I mean little more elusive. I mean, Spence is amazing. I promoted him for most of his career, but I thought he was going to be the next Sugar Ray Leonard. But I got Crawford. He's more elusive. He throws more combinations. He has better footwork. But who knows? I mean, you never know in boxing. I got Spence. You don't think Spence is too naturally

big for him? He's strong. He's a big kid. He's a big kid. But I just think that Spence is too robotic. He throws... When he catches big he's strong he's a big kid yeah he's a big kid but i just think that that spence um just is it's too robotic he throws when he catches you he'll catch you and he'll knock you out i just think crawford is a little more you know he can move around a little more and and you know dodge the punches but if he gets tired and spence catches him he's he's gonna go out decision knock out what you think i think knock out if if ifence catches him, he'll knock out Crawford. But Crawford, I think decision.

Yeah, I think decision. Did you really want to die in the ring? Yeah, yeah. In that fight, when I was looking back, I've never seen the Pacquiao fight ever since I fought him. And when they showed me the documentary when the final product was done, I was like, yeah, at that moment, I was hoping that Pacquiao would land the perfect punch.

Wow. Wow. Yeah. And that's the third time I think about like suicide, you know, like wanting to just make everything disappear. What was the other two times that made you feel that way? One time I was like 24. I had bought like this new Ferrari and I was driving down the freeway, two in the morning, drinking. I was driving like 175 and and i was hoping that i would just that something would happen yeah what got you to this clarity was

it therapy was it i think i think uh yeah i mean it has everything to do with it all this therapy um rehab this that um i think it was just time it It was just time. I mean, I've done a lot of work for my life, man, for me. And, you know, it just kind of like it fell into place. That's it. It's like I'm right there. I can see everything clear now, you know. It's crazy. It's crazy.

Danny with my union. But yeah, no, it's a romantic comedy. Just about a woman who is trying to figure it out, how she can have it all. Love, career, life. Sounds very personal. That eye roll that I'm about to give you don't put my business out here in these streets now no it is i mean it's loosely based off of my crap show of a dating life are you dating somebody now myself and sweet jesus waiting

on him to take his foot off the back of my neck and send me a good man. But I digress. Damn, that ain't Jesus now. That's the devil got his foot on the back of your neck. No, I'm just playing. No, no, no. I am enjoying myself out here. It would be great to be in something real. But in the meantime, Unleashed for Love was just a beautiful project that I created, like I said, with one of my close girlfriends. And it's just, it's an everyday experience that every person,

not even just women, can relate to. Because we all want to know how we can have it all. And Alicia is surrounded by amazing friends that help her figure that out. So, you know, it's a show within a show. It's a reality show within a show. And it's eight episodes, correct? Eight episodes. You got Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison playing your parents. I know.

Lord have mercy. Wouldn't that be amazing? Like in real life? Did you miss your parents in real life? No, I love my parents. I know. Lord have mercy. Wouldn't that be amazing? Like, in real life? Can I mention parents in real life? No, I love my parents in real life.

Oh, you said it. But I just, I meant like, I was trying to make the connection between like a different world. You know what I mean?

Like, if I were Dwayne and Whitley's baby. I could see that. Could you? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

But it's on Audible right now. You know what I mean? So if you have Audible, if you have an audible account audible subscription you can listen to unleash for love on audible uh right now i mean i'm very proud of us because at the end of the day i mean it took us seven years to create it sell it um and it's just one of those situations where when everyone else is telling you

no like if you tell yourself yes figure it out and you're surrounded by amazing people who believe in you one day you you know, so today's premiere day, you know, thank you guys for having me. Well, congratulations. Now it says it's not a podcast. Why, why, why is it so that's so highlight? Cause it's an audio scripted original. It is a romantic comedy.

It's like listening to a television show in your headphones. I'm just saying you old enough to remember when Kung Fu Flicks used to be on the radio. Remember when Batman used to be on the radio and it was like, pow, bang, boom. It's that. Yeah.

Okay? And it's mad people out there that listen to audio script of the original. You know, Serial was a big audio script of the original. Finding Tomiko was a big homecoming.

You know, Finding Tomiko was a big audio script of the original. Summer 85. Sandman. Sand. Sandman. Batman, too.

Really? Yeah, Batman. They had Winston Duke was was starring in a yeah batman it's one of those situations where you know uh i was i was very fortunate to partner uh with audible my first time you know creating a project you know like i said it felt really good to be in a position of like not asking for someone to give me a job right right and to be able to employ like a lot of my friends asking for someone to give me a job right right and to be able to employ like a lot of my friends who just needed a yes and you know needed an open door and you know to have someone as great as char you know backing us up and kevin hart you know who's like one of the best to do it in comedy is is just my god so let me ask you so um it's out today we're talking to alicia renee uh she has a project you. So it's out today. We're talking to Alicia Renee.

She has a project out on Audible. It's called Unleash for Love. Now, before I ask you, how is it working with people shorter than you? I want to know when you're talking about loosely based on. Why are you talking about Kevin? I'm talking about you. When we're talking about loosely based on your life, what made you want to, you know, give a little bit of your life to people? Because you know what? I feel like we've all been in this. Well first of all

there are a lot of little moments within Unleashed for Love that every woman will be able to relate to right like there's this guy that I used to talk to and his name was Canada. That's a real name? No no no no. He doesn't deserve his real name. Damn it man. But he was called Canada. Well he had one job and he wasn't

doing that job that he was supposed to do. Dang. Jesus Christ. Okay, go ahead. He was supposed to drop things off that didn't get dropped off. Dang. So when you're no longer doing your job, you can just exit stage left.

But you know, we all have those guys or, you know, whatever that we're entertaining and we give them an alternate name until they're deserving of their government name. We all have bad relationship experiences and it's really challenging dating in LA. I lived in New York, as you know. You both know. We were neighbors. Yeah, we were neighbors.

Melrose Place. Lived in the same apartment complex. Down the hall. Yeah. For seven years and it was challenging dating here so i figured why not just take all of these situations that brought me various levels of pain and you know create something that people can laugh at that pain oh kevin did you see what i did there

that's right and question you it's semi it's semi-fictional right and so it's about you the things that you and your mutual girlfriends have experienced did you have did you tell any real stories would have to tell some of your homegirls have experienced. Did you tell any real stories? Would have to tell some of your homegirls, like, look, I'm gonna tell this real story. Can I use your name? Yeah, yeah. Well, Sarita and I used a lot of our own

personal dating experiences. Like the very first one, I'm on a date, Spank Horton plays the- Salute to Spank. Yeah, who, yeah, shout out to Spank, who runs out on the bill. But it didn't go exactly how it's written here. Like how it was written here,

we were almost to the end of the finish line and you know i left to go to the bathroom because you know as women we want to freshen up if we feel like the night is going to lead to something else that's it and uh i come out he's gone but i assume that maybe he went to the restroom as well right so you're sitting there waiting for a good country ass 45 and waiting you thought maybe you had to do a number two i'm just waiting i'm just hey you call him or text him during that time well i'm not i'm not thinking that he has his phone on his person you understand what i'm saying i'm just sitting there and i'm waiting and waiting and i'm waiting and the waitress comes and she's like well you know i'm getting ready to leave i'd like to close you out restaurant's about to close ma'am ma'am I don't know if you see these plates that

were stacking up, but you got to go. And that's how I found out that he ran out on the day. How much was the bill? That much? It was a nice restaurant. How much was it? It was a really nice restaurant, and it was in New York. It was when I still lived out here. How much was it? A good, almost $300.

I'm going to close the bar for that finesse. Take that bomb back. Take that bomb back take that bomb back Jesus Christ so yeah we caught it you know how I'm pooping on him

Charlamagne, what are you giving that donkey to, man? Man, I hate to have to do this. But, yeah, Carly Russell, I think she needs to come to the front of the congregation.

Your mornings will never be the same. Our Audible pick of the day is Breakthrough, the first ever audio-only singing competition featuring celebrity judges Kelly Rowland and Sara Bareilles with host Daveed Diggs. Listen on audible.com slash breakthrough. Donkey up the D-Town. Made it. Damn, the hee-haw again. It's time for Donkey up the day baby damn the hee haw again it's time for donkey of the day

i'm ain't trying to be donkey today no more they should be embarrassed by what they already did i'm not making these people do these things called donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard damn solomon who got the donkey of the day today oh well just hilarious donkey of the day for thursday july 20th goes to Carly Russell. I didn't know if I was going to give her a donkey of the day today because I was like, it may be too early to call this fight and nothing official has come out yet that she may not be telling the truth. But it seems that doubt has been cast on her story.

Now, maybe you have no idea about the story of Carly Russell. Let me refresh your memory. Let's go to WVTM News Channel 13 for the original report, please. An urgent search tonight for Carly Russell, the 25-year-old vanishing last night along Interstate 459 in Hoover. The search is starting immediately last night and continuing into today. Right now, a $25,000 reward is being offered. Carly's mom and dad holding out hope, knowing their daughter is a fighter. It's a chance for her to put up a fight to try to save her life. She's going to do everything she can to put up a fight.

I can't imagine what they're going through right now. Lisa, what do we know about this case and how it all unfolded? Well, we know 25-year-old Carly Russell called 911 last night at about 930. She had left work, was on her way home. She said there was a toddler walking alone on the side of 459. She hung up with 911, and then she called a relative. Now, at that point, we believe that she got out of her car to check on the child, thinking that police would be there at any time.

Her relative said she heard Carly scream, and then while it seemed Carly dropped her phone, the connection continued. When police arrived, they found Carly's vehicle, her cell her cell phone and personal items but no Carly and no child that was the story a young woman in Alabama went missing I heard the story I didn't look into the details I just saw that a young woman went missing in Alabama after stopping to help a toddler on the side of the road I reposted it in my Instagram story that's the least I could do because the reality is I wasn't reposting it because that was an isolated incident okay I will repost in my instagram story that's the least i could do because the reality is i wasn't reposting it because uh that was an isolated incident okay i will repost in my story any case of a missing black woman a child because the reality according to the black and missing foundation nearly 40

percent of missing people in america are uh black women and black children people of color right you can go to black and missing inc.com to see the disparity itself it was damn near 600,000 missing people in 2022 57% were white including Hispanic 39% were minority so once again almost 40% of missing persons are people of color but we only make up 13% of the population and these stories don't ever get the proper media coverage okay it's almost like out of sight out of mind most people don't even know the epidemic that is missing black women and children in this country so when something like carly russell comes across my timeline of course i'm going to repost it and then you know you start seeing all the back and forth people believe her people don't believe her personally i wasn't on either side because whatever it was gonna be

it was gonna be and all you gotta do is wait a minute and you gonna see okay that minute is upon us and as my good sister al Alicia Renee says, everything what, Leash? Comes out in the wash, in the rinse. That's right. And the milk is what? Not clean, baby. It ain't clean. That's right.

Let's go to Fox 5 News for the report, please. Following breaking news out of Alabama tonight on Fox 5 News at 5, we're learning more about the disappearance of Carly Russell. Police officers in Alabama say Russell called 911 last Thursday. They say that she was calling to report a child wandering off the interstate. Two days later, after a massive search, she returned home. Officers say before she disappeared, Russell took a robe and toilet paper from her job. She then grabbed food, got on the interstate and called 911. Police say they also found several suspicious searches on her phone. On July 11th at 7 30 a.m. the term you have to pay for an amber alert was searched. On July 13th at 1 0 3 a.m. the day of her disappearance. The term, how to take money from a register without being caught,

was searched. On July 13th, at 2.13 a.m., the day of her disappearance, the term, Birmingham bus station, was searched. On July 13th, 2.35 a.m., a search for a one-way bus ticket from Birmingham to Nashville was conducted with a departure date of July 13th. Oh lord niggas going there now look they haven't officially said

she lied all right but there's a lot of doubt on her story see some people study from the old testament some people study from the lebron james version of the bible but instead of scripture carly clearly has been reading from the self-help book of that french actor juicy smooley okay it's almost like she thought this through, but not really because it don't take the Scooby-Doo gang to figure out. She probably set this up herself. All right. We've all watched too many episodes of CSI law and order.

I mean, damn, you got digital detectives, the Instagram PIs of the world. They all knew this wasn't adding up. All right. First of all, why do y'all keep using Google as an accomplice?

That's what I would like to know. All right. This is why we need Google to be AI and have like a mind of its own and when you search certain things google should simply be able to ask you why see sometimes that why snaps you back to reality we got to think about some of these questions we ask google and ask ourselves how would this sound if i was asking a human not just any human but a human that you know always keeps it 100 hunting with you all right if anybody came up to me and asked me do you have to pay for an amber alert just think how that question would sound to you if someone asked you immediately you would be suspicious and be like why matter of fact

it wouldn't be a why for me my reply would be i don't know why you asked me that but whatever you planning on doing don't do it okay i'm serious whatever you search in google ask yourself how would this sound if i asked it out loud would you ask a room hey man how do you take money from a cash register without being caught that right there would prompt at least one person in the room to say whose man is this okay please chuck him for a yr an earpiece carly if you don't sit your stupid ass down somewhere that's why you run things by people and not Google. Use Google after you run it by people. I'm not even going to get into the movies she was searching.

You really going to search taken and then allegedly faking abduction, really? Okay, I'll tell you some other movies that she should have been searching that she can relate to. I got a list.

Dumb and Dumber. Dumb and Dumber 2. Ridiculousness. That's a good TV show. Stupid Is and Stupid Does. Wildin' Out, because she was wildin'. Okay, A Stupid Idea.

That's a good flick. These are all real movies does. Wildin' Out, because she was wildin'. Okay, A Stupid Idea. That's a good flick. These are all real movies and TV shows, by the way. This Fool, that was on Hulu. Okay, what you think she at home Googling now? Caught. Mardia Goes to Jail. Orange is the New Black Life. I'm just saying.

I saw the good brother Roy Woods make a great point yesterday, and he said, get your jokes off, but be careful with the outrage, because you're dealing with a sovereign court system that loves to make an example out of black folks and that girl knows she lying will turn into damn they really gave her five years just that fast now look carly probably lied well don't let that distract us from the fact that hundreds of thousands of black women and children are really missing in this country i don't know why the carly story caught fire on social media the way that it did and the others don't. I don't know. Y'all throwing all these conspiracies out there.

Well, ask yourself, how come this story blew up but other stories of missing black women and children don't? Real stories of missing black women and children don't. You think Carly was the only black woman who went missing this weekend? And just our luck, the one story everyone gravitated to is the fake one? I don't know. Doesn't feel right to me. But don't let that ever discourage you from raising awareness to the epidemic that is missing black women and children in this country 40 percent

of missing people in this country are colored all right i don't want to hear people say see carly and false claims are the reason they don't take missing black people serious malarkey they wasn't taking us serious before this i don't want to hear y'all say see they wasted the police officers time no they didn't police were doing their job they get paid to investigate and they have to investigate all cases regardless if they are believable or not that's their job that's what taxpayers dollars go to so don't get caught up in anyone trying to blame carly for why they don't take the cases of missing black women and children serious because they wasn't taking these cases serious to begin with they don't really look for us they don't contribute resources to looking for us.

Hell, they couldn't even find Carly and she wasn't even really missing, allegedly. So that lets you know how unserious they are about the epidemic that is missing black women and children in this country. If you are using this Carly Russell story to say, see, this is why I don't get involved in the conversation around missing black women and children in this country. You're lying. You never cared to begin with. Please let Remy Ma give Carly Russell the biggest hee-haw.

Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Oh, Lord. Well, thank you for that donkey today. We gotta say goodbye to BET. Peace, BET. Alright, everybody else, let's go to court. Let's go to people's court. The Breakfast Club court, I should say.

The court of public opinion been wide open on this. That's a fact. I gotta exhibit ABCD&E. We wanted to believe her because she left her wig and her phone. [phone]. Let's open up the phone lines. You're not gonna separate a black woman from her wig, Sam. You ain't leaving your wig now.

800-585-1051. What is your opinion? This is Breakfast Club Court. Do you believe her? Do you believe in something else, in some conspiracy? Like Alicia Renee just said, no black woman gonna leave a wig.

Come on now. It does feel strange, though, that this is the story that caught fire. Like, you mean to tell me all the missing black women and children, all the women and children that go missing in this country, and I'm sure that there were black women and children that went missing this weekend.

But this is your king? This fake story, this one story is the one everybody gravitated to? That's kind of strange, y'all. Well, let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. We'll take your calls when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's the EJ and the Charlamagne Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Alicia Renee here. I would like to be known as executive producer Alicia Renee. Oh, executive producer Alicia Renee. If you don't know, she has something special on Audible that came out today.

It's called Unleash for Love. And we want you guys to go check it out. It's eight episodes. But right now, Charlamagne gave donkey of the day to who, Charlamagne? Carly Russell. It hasn't been confirmed that she's not telling the truth, but there has been a lot of doubt cast on her story. The story of her being abducted, right?

I don't know. As a matter of fact, that's not her story. That's the story that was out there, that she possibly was abducted. She saw a baby on the side of the road, and then she was on the phone with somebody, and they heard her ask the baby, are you okay? But they never heard the baby, and then they heard her scream, and then she went on the phone with somebody and they heard her ask the baby are you okay but they never heard the baby and then they heard her scream and then she went missing for 48 hours but the big thing behind it was because a lot of those tricks tactics are used to traffic humans more

specifically women of color all right so we're asking 805 85 105 1 what are your thoughts let's ask you alicia what are your thoughts i mean i said it before i know i said it jokingly but there are certain things that you know when you hear it it's like oh that wouldn't we wouldn't do that unless it was true or that wouldn't happen

unless it was true sadly because I know how much squirrels cost if I hear a squirrel that's left by the wayside I'm thinking tell my wigs

yeah wigs wigs yeah because I'm going down with a fight with my wig well you know the reason I thought

it sounded a little fishy was when she said she's seen a toddler walking down the side of a highway. A white baby. Right,

on the side of a highway. And the thing is, if it was a random street or off street or suburb street where not too many people drive by, I would be like,

okay, maybe possible. When you talk about a highway and they showed the footage of the cars jetting by and nobody else seen this baby, you know,

I must have, from the footage alone, I must have seen 40, 50 cars drive by and not one other person seen a baby walking down the side of the road i think her mother did say that someone in 18 willer uh just a random someone in 18 willer uh reported uh seeing a baby on the side of the road i do want to add that in there oh they did okay i didn't know but that's what i'm saying i think that came from her mother so you just never know i mean a parent is going to do what a parent is going to do, even if their child is in the wrong. You know how we are in our community. You know, that's my baby.

They can do no wrong. Yeah, the only thing, I mean, all of that did sound strange. What I still find strange right now is that, you know, I just wonder why certain cases get the attention that they get. Because as I said during Donkey of the Day, hundreds of thousands of people are reported missing. 40% of them are people of color. You mean to tell me that she's the only woman of color that went missing this weekend? No.

My common sense tells me that's not the case. But how come just our luck, the one person everybody decides to put attention on is the person that's probably faking. But you know, what about the point that Taz met?

Can we bring that up? Yeah, why? When she mentioned class. Like, class is also a factor. Oh, yeah. Right? When you have someone from a certain

socioeconomic, you know, environment, background, yeah, obviously people will give that more attention. And she was an AKA too.

Yeah, she was an AKA. But I've seen a lot of people talking about the case because they were comparing it to the submersible right saying why was all this press on the submersible and not on the 500 people and people were really pushing that class by the way that's class because it's it's the it's the submersibles filled with the million the millionaires and the billionaires i was getting there the millionaires and the billionaires and then that same week, though, there was a ship. I want to say it was like off the coast of Greece somewhere. And it was like 300, 300.

Immigrants. Yeah. Migrants. Of color who are no longer with us. And nobody talked about that. You're right. Not a single thing. Well, let's go to the phone line.

So class and race. Hello. Who's this? Hi. Good morning. This is Kay. Hey, Kay. Good morning. What's your feeling, what's your thoughts?

Every kiss begins with Kay So I just think that she used the unfortunate truth that America doesn't really care about missing black women To pull off this hoax And she didn't think that people really were going to be out there looking for her like this So she was like, oh crap, I need to reappear, step away Kay, that is a great point. Yo, think about that. What Kay said makes all the sense in the world.

Wow. She knew that they probably weren't going to really look for her because she's a black woman. And then she realized, wait a minute. They are. They are looking for me. Let me take my ass back home. Hello?

It's Lauren, the truck driver. Good morning, guys. It's Lauren, the truck driver. Good morning, guys. Hey, Lauren, the truck driver. Good morning. What's your thoughts, mama? I think she is lying. And you know what? What?

I don't want her in jail, though. I think she got something going on mentally. But, Charlamagne, don't you say not everybody needs prison. They just need some, need some mental health facilities? Oh, I agree with you, but you're talking about what I want versus the reality of the situation. The reality is she's a black woman in Alabama, and that legal system probably going to make an example out of her if they find out that she was really lying. Right. Exactly.

800-585-1051. Just opening up the phone lines. I'll be in Breakfast Club Court. Alicia Renee, our guest co-host, is here. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, Alicia Renee is here. She's our guest co-host. She has something special on Audible today. It's called Unleash for Love. Go check that out. You should definitely check it out. Eight episodes.

But right now, we're in Breakfast Club Court. We're talking about Carly. Now, charlamagne gave her donkey today yeah man i gave carly russell donkey today i didn't know if this fight was too early to call but it uh it seems that a lot of doubt has been cast on her story so i i gave her donkey today today hello who's this storm hey storm good morning what's your thought okay so carly knows she's wrong i feel like she has a mental illness. I feel like she did something. She's craving attention and acknowledgement.

Like, some people fake their death to see who all come to their funeral and to see that she was loved and stuff like that. But this wasn't the way, because now she's facing, you know, potentially facing prison time as well as, oh, the judge is definitely going to make her pay restitution, even though it's an officer's job to investigate. But they're going to say she did use those resources, so therefore they will charge her restitution. And, you know, by then, Alabama is going to be in place. So she's looking at probably like a $250,000 bill. That she can't pay. pay yeah we also got to stop

blaming this on mental illness some people just make poor choices everything ain't mental illness everybody ain't you know dealing with any type of mental illness any mental health issues some people just make poor choices right but you do you know you do need punishment right and although it's a sad situation we honestly don't know what happened i think for all these situations people need some type of punishment because if there is no punishment people continue to do it yeah but here's the thing why does the punishment have to start with us in our community no no i agree with you you understand what i'm saying like there i think someone brought it up earlier i don't remember who but you know the white women that always call yeah i brought it up early i was like it's not fair that the white

woman will call police on somebody right and they get no jail time or anything or no restitution. But in this case, they do. But I also feel like all those white women that call the police falsely on black people should have to go to jail. And the reason being is because there is no punishment. If there's punishment, if one person gets locked up, the next person be like, you know what?

I ain't calling, please. I don't want to go to jail. I'm not negating that. My bone is why does it always have to start with us because i do believe like what what char was saying she's in the southern state nine times out of ten they're going to try to make an example out of her so it's going to start on all on our watch but you're not going to keep that same energy though if this time next week some karen calls and says that you know such and such tried to kidnap her some person of color tried to kidnap her but this country never has has. And y'all are talking like America is fair.

It never has been. That's why we're always out here fighting for equality. There is no double standard when it comes to black and white people. There's a standard and that standard is whiteness. Malcolm X once said one time, he was like, there's no such thing as a second class citizen. You're either treated like a citizen or you're not. We're not second class citizens. You're either treated like a citizen or you're not.

And that's just what it is when it comes to black and white. Can I give a little pushback on that? You're not wrong. But the challenge is that we hold our... When something like this happens, more specifically within our community, because we're instinctively like, okay, well, this person is going to keep everyone else from believing the next black person or whatever whenever they're kidnapped.

So we're like, there has to be some accountability. But they never believed us from the beginning. The white people will always say, I don't want to keep making it white people, but people outside of our race will always say, yes, there needs to be some accountability. So we're getting double accountability, but nothing happens to anyone outside of our community.

I agree with you. There's no accountability over there. All we can do is meme and make jokes. I seen mad memes yesterday. The legal system in Alabama can really hold her accountable. Yes. Question. Is Beyonce coming to Alabama anytime soon?

She can't go? She did all this for Beyonce tickets. Shut up, man. What do you mean? Is that the conspiracy? They feel bad that they can't find her. Yes, invite her to the show. Look up this tour schedule.

Look up the Beyonce tour schedule. Is Beyonce coming to alabama anytime just look it up i know just look it up please are we still in the people's court i'm just asking i just need i promise is she coming to alabama anytime beyonce in alabama you're entertaining this i am i just want to see i'm telling you if she come in alabama anytime soon man i'm telling you she might have did all of this with beyonce dates. Let me see if she's coming to Alabama. I don't even know why I'm looking this up. I don't know why I'm wasting my time looking this up. Let me see.

Our Inside Connect who's in studio says no, it's not happening. She's not coming to Alabama no time? No, I see Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit. Oh, Louisville was last week? It happened last week? Solved it. She's coming to St. Louis, Arizona, Vegas. Anywhere near? Louis St. Louis Arizona Vegas anywhere near

Louisville Louisville okay alright nevermind won't be in Alabama you should have conferred with your person in the corner you know who that is

I didn't think about it I forgot what's the moral of the story the moral of the story don't leave your wig by the wayside it's gonna tell on you every time

the moral of the story for me is man you know yes this woman probably lied but don't let us don't let that distract us from the fact that hundreds of thousands of black women and children are really missing It's going to tell on you every time. The moral of the story for me is, man, you know, yes, this woman probably lied. But don't let that distract us from the fact that hundreds of thousands of black women and children are really missing in this country. And that should not stop you from raising awareness to the fact that hundreds of thousands of black women and children are missing in this country. You know what I mean?

Yes. I don't want to say this. What? People in Alabama might be listening. For what? One monkey don't stop no show. All right. All right. When we come back monkey don't stop no show. All right. All right.

When we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to tell you about G Herbo and Finesse two times. Y'all are snorting, brothers and sisters. Y'all snort all the time. Y'all just... I'm so embarrassed. Now I'm never going to get a man. Jesus Christ.

Un it unleash for love is a romantic comedy on audible audio scripted original a semi-fictional story about uh alicia and her mutual girlfriend's experiences with dating and other stuff all right and she and you know she wanted me to tell you guys that she's very smart she's intelligent she's a hard worker she's a

You said you don't know any boy boy boy you need to shut up you need to shut up this man tried to pronounce kerfuffle and had a kerfuffle his whole mouth had a kerfuffle that was crazy just now you know what i was gonna be You know what? I was going to be mean. That's why. That's it. I was going to hit it

with the... Let me tell y'all something. You know who does not play about me? God. Okay. That's right. You see how you keep

trying to clown me on the side? I'm not. You know what? That's what I get. That's what I get. That's exactly what I get. That's what I get. That's what I get.

13 years, I ain't never heard you let that word flow. Hello? Conduces, don't forget to find that word and clean it up put a little

razzle dazzle on that on that kerfuffle on his kerfuffle alright let's get to the rumors let's talk G Herbo throw my hat throw my hat that's what you get

that's exactly what you get or you gossiping or you chatting or you gossiping don't God don't play about me I mean I guess we on the breakfast club

this is where the tea starts right right ah man that's what i get all right now g herbo all right you know of course he's from chicago faces potentially years in prison after agreeing to plead guilty to federal fraud charges in boston so uh now this is for federal wire charges, allegations that accuse him of still of using people still stolen identities to fund private jets, a Jamaican villa, a designer puppy and a host of others. So it looks like he might be having to do some jail time. The wire fraud account carries up to 20 years in prison. Hey, go hard or go home.

Well, at least he lived allegedly so they believe in that hopefully uh he will be getting a term of two to three years but he could face up to 20 does he have to pay restitution or all that i didn't say as yet do we have a new story there's a new story up there not yet g herbo's a good brother man i love his mental health advocacy i don't know the full story i don't even know how i missed that did he get arrested for that before or something this was a long time ago he get arrested for that before or something? This was a long time ago he got arrested for that. This was like maybe three years ago.

So he found guilty? Because I'm saying allegedly. He pled guilty. Oh, man. He pled guilty. Damn. All right. Now, finesse two-time, of course, Memphis rappers,

wanted by Houston Police Department for allegedly stealing a rental car. That's what the doc says. So they're looking for him as of right now. Now, let me tell you about this, what these rental car people are doing and these rental car places are doing. Just so you know, if you rent a car and you have it for over 30 days and it's not returned, even if you pay for it, they are filling out these paperwork that saying that the car is stolen. It's happened to actually two people that I actually know. Somebody had a car for over 30 days. He paid it.

They took the money out. But I guess you have to bring it back and redo it, whatever it may be. And he got pulled over and he was arrested and locked up for it. And then when he got out, he had to prove that he actually paid it and the charges would drop. But wouldn't you just go back to the rental car place and keep doing what you do? Because most people don't think about that. You just pay for the car. Like, you know, you have a rental car.

You just pay weekly or you pay monthly or you pay whatever it is is but you don't think that you have to bring it back in 30 days and redo it you just pay it and keep it moving so they think they're scamming uh no people think that they're stealing the car i guess it's something in the system that if the car is not if the car doesn't come back in a certain amount of time it automatically sends out but he had paperwork right yeah why would they think somebody's stealing something in their own in their own name like you're gonna fill out all this paperwork to be stealing yeah but you know what i've seen it happen before niggas be niggas so you know if they if these people thinking like i'm thinking i always keep you gossip

stay scamming all right well that is your rumor report tell them about unleash for love one more time it's out today unleash for love is an original audio experience uh executive produced by kevin hart charlamagne the god um co-created by myself original audio experience.

And so like to be here now working on a project that you co-created and hearing once again that I'm a dollar store version of Beyonce while I'm out here trying to do big things. Damn.

Me and Leash were neighbors for a long, long, long, long time. In what building? Melrose Place. Melrose Place. Same building where the woman told me to watch out for you because there's a young man who lives in this building and y'all look alike and Envy might have a type

because she would hear strange things coming from that apartment. That's a fact. That really happened. That did not happen. No, that woman really told me that. She did not tell you that. I promise on everything that I've been told. Let's talk a little bit of that story. My best friend, one of my best friends used to live in that building. In our building.

Little Sean, who looks a little like Charlemagne. Little Sean? Dog skin, bald head. Just short with a bald head. That's all. You don't have the detail. God didn't give him all the details he gave me.

Didn't Courtney live, didn't your cousin live in our building too? Yeah, Courtney lived there too. And you know what? I got to apologize to Roxy. I didn't get to apologize to her. Why?

I don't know if I want to put this out there. What'd you do? What the hell did you do? If you don't think you should, don't do it. It was like 17 years ago. Whisper it to me.

What'd you do? I don't know how you tried to switch the subject. What'd you do to find? Being't think you should, don't do it. It was like 17 years ago. Whisper it to me. What'd you do? I don't know how you tried to switch the subject. What'd you do to Fox? Being with Lil Sean in the apartment by yourself, though. Y'all know y'all on the radio and y'all whispering to each other, you crazy-ass humans. Y'all on the radio whispering to each other. You did that hood-ish to Fox?

You had her rolling around here looking like she couldn't afford to fix that? Yeah. You owe her an apology. I do owe her an apology. He owes you an apology for sure. The moral of the story is when Envy was I don't know what he was doing in that apartment complex. That's my boy. There was no sounds coming out of that apartment.

Stop it. People are going to believe me. That's my brother. I went to go see my brother at that apartment complex. She did say Envy might have a type so you need to be careful. I promise you she said that. She told me that 13 years ago. And guess what I've been dealing with for the last 13 years. How come you never came by for Gumball Night if you were in our building?

We had Gumball Night, Game Night. That's right. I don't know. He never invited me. I don't know. Leash used to have the food. I used to have the cable. So before my wife moved up here, Leesh would bring the food on Sunday nights

and we'd watch True Blood. You have to clean that up, you know, because it sounds like before your wife came up here, we were... No, I'm saying that in reference. That's why I had no food. I had no home-cooked meals. And I didn't have the cable.

I was working for B&T at the time. You didn't have the cable. B&T wasn't paying you to come lose? No, they weren't. I was the least paid person. Jesus. And then when my wife did move in, we all became one big happy family.

There you go. That's what I was saying. You got to close that gap now. That's right. They talk more than me and Leese do. 1,000%. Well, we do have a family group chat. We have a group chat too.

There you go. That's right. That's right. All right. When we come back, we got the positive note. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody.
