We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, I just want to start off with, I want to salute to Philadelphia's own Kevin Sullivan.

He is the youngest player ever to play in a professional sport. He plays Major League Soccer. He's 14 years old, and he's playing in Major League Soccer and already got a deal with Manchester when he turns 18. He'll go overseas, but he's 14. Congratulations, young man. Playing Major League Baseball. Good morning, Morgan. Baseball? Soccer, soccer, soccer.

Football. Football, yes. Let's get into the front page news. Top of the headlines. Ohio Senator J.D. Vance made his first campaign appearance yesterday at the RNC. Speaking to supporters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the vice presidential nominee criticized the press and said there is an obvious contrast between the two presidential hopefuls. Let's hear more from J.D. Vance at the RNC. The guy who actually connects with working people in this country is not fake Scranton Joe.

It's real President Donald Trump. The media has lied more aggressively and slanderously about a guy and he keeps on coming through it. The contrast between the lie that the media tells about President Trump and the man that all of us actually know of course we saw it in really really stark definition on saturday what about him he once compared trump to hitler now they are running mates now how you go from calling somebody hitler to giving them that hawk tour i mean full-throated endorsements all right whenever i hit him last night don't put your hand like that they kept saying full-throated endorsements. Whenever I hear them last night, they kept saying full-throated endorsements. All I keep thinking about is that hawk tour. That ain't BFFs now.

Pretty much, yeah. So that part. Vance did say that inflation has become out of control under President Biden's watch, hurting hardworking families. And he said that former president or former president trump rather is still working on his speech for tonight so he uh trump is expected to address the republican national convention tonight now meanwhile tonight might be the night we get mini-man tonight might be the night where donald trump walks out to mini-man okay i know everybody for real this time don't believe that stuff that y'all seeing on social well i i i said it would

it would be he'll walk out when he does his speech. I ain't talking about the other three nights. You're supposed to talk about Monday. I'm just saying there are other fakes that are, you know, have it. No, this might be the real one tonight. It's possible. All right. So, meanwhile, the Trump campaign said they are not committed to a date for a vice presidential debate

as uncertainty hangs over President Biden's re-election bid now a trump senior uh a senior trump campaign advisor that they don't know who the democratic nominee will uh for vice president will be suggesting they believe biden will drop out the race now the advisor added that locking in a debate would be unfair to quote whoever kamala harris is picking as her running mate now this comes as biden is facing calls to step aside from a growing number of Democrats due to concerns about his age and mental fitness. Yeah, you said uncertainty. There is no uncertainty. Biden is up out of here. OK, he's up out of here and they need to hurry up, too, because, you know, like you said, it might be time for Kamala Harris to start campaigning. And I don't even like when they keep saying, you know, they Biden's going to have move aside because of his age it's not about his age it's about can he win doesn't seem

like he wants to move it seems like he's doing everything not to leave though we'll definitely talk more about that in seven but or support um i'm sorry more reports about the secret service protection at donald trump's pennsylvania rally are coming out during a closed door senate briefing on wednesday republican senator john barrasso of Wyoming said FBI Director Christopher Wray had some troubling things to report. Let's hear more from Senator Barrasso. The shooter has been identified an hour before the shooting occurred as a suspicious person. They lost sight of him. He had a range finder. He had a a backpack the kind of things that would be suspicious to anyone yeah they just let him walk around they said that it was suspicious they had you know

they they called it in they did all the things that they was supposed to do all the protocol but didn't follow the man i mean they should all be fine if you think about it how suspicious did he really look at a trump rally white guy young you know what i'm saying with a rifle like how did he really look suspicious Butler Pennsylvania did he look suspicious or did he look like he just fit right in

but the fact that they noticed him shows you that something was off like cause you said if they all look like that yeah that's true but the fact that

they noticed him with the range finder and he was you know looking around looked like he was casing the joint and they were watching him and then all of a sudden

everybody says that after the fact though everybody says he looks suspicious but they called him in cause he was all of a sudden, everybody says that after the fact, though, everybody says, but they called him in. But he was climbing on a roof. No, before he was climbing on the roof, when he went to the metal detectors, they were watching. That roof should have never been open the way it was. Not at all.

Hell no. Russ, sorry. Secret Service agent Jason Russell, he is warning people that who attend the upcoming Trump rally in Michigan, they will face unprecedented security screenings at the Van Andel Arena this weekend. and says that being inside an arena will make the job easier for law enforcement than an outdoor rally. And he expects that all candidates to hold their rallies inside for at least the next several weeks. What do you think about that? You think that'll be a better safety? Yeah, they should. Absolutely. Like I said earlier this week, you know, when you have somebody like, you know, Donald Trump, who has created an environment of political violence well he's created an environment of political violence that nobody is safe from nobody whether you're

democrat republican anybody nobody is safe from the environment that he's created and what happened to the glass i thought there was like bulletproof glass that they kind of stood in so that you know nothing could affect them in front of them and on the side of them i thought that was a glass there maybe not um i was gonna say on outdoor what i've seen anyways and outdoor that's usually the actual president i have not been to a rally so i can only go based on my account um yeah on the outdoor events there is some sort of glass or there are snipers on the roof every roof right all right all right well last front page news we'll see you next hour, Morgan.

Yep. Talk to y'all in a bit. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

And I'm like, oh. Calling him young girl talent is crazy. Calling him young girl talent sounds like you was an ant off a bad boy in the 90s. Jesus. I don't know if that's what I meant, but that's what we call it, man. It's just our metaphor, okay? So that's all I got. I need some feedback, Indy.

Help me out. I mean, you know, my son has had a girlfriend, so, yeah, she's been over the house.

I mean, you should have that conversation. And there's got to be parameters. What time she's got to leave? You know, if you mind, if they're in their room, the door closed or whatever. It's whatever makes you comfortable.

Charlamagne, respectfully, he was disrespectful bringing women to your mama's house. That's all I got. What? I didn't lie. What you mean? My mama knew it was there.

How we doing this morning, everybody? What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. This morning, for shout out to God. You know, he always says that the lie is more better than the truth. I got a question for y'all. I say nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining.

I apologize, sir. I mean, I apologize. I can make a mistake. You know, I try to listen to y'all every day when I can in the morning. Thank you. But this one is for you. Let me ask you a question. When Puffy started having his problems, didn't his problems kind of start around 2020?

I don't know. I don't know when Puffy started. Well, I kind of think when the problems with everything kind of started. But who died in 2020 that was very close to Puffy was his mentor that should know everything about. My guy, the late, great Andre Harrell. Okay, so wouldn't you think he would know if Puffy was doing anything under the books or anything on the table? Because Andre Harrell

started Uptown Records. He gave him the support when he moved to Brooklyn. Wouldn't he know? That's his mentor. Rest in peace to the late, great Andre Harrell. I don't know what Andre Harrell knew, but I mean, I think that there's probably a lot of people who knew what was going on, so please don't try to just put that on the late, great Mr. Harrell. Let the dead rest, please.

I got you. I'm just saying I'm an old school guy that knows a lot of old school stuff from up there, uptown records. But also I want to put out this, too. If President Biden wants to win the race, he needs to have you up to the White House and give you whatever kind of award he can give for mental health. Because, brother, you're one of the best sponsors. You support mental health more than anybody in this world. And you're really the only person I ever heard say that the people from the hood need to really have support and people to talk to. Because mental health is something that's serious out here.

And the people in the hood really don't do it. But y'all all stay blessed. And just congratulations to that new boy coming out thank you so much get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent you can hit us up now jess we got uh the mess coming up what we talking about yes cory hardrick saw all the backlash from rotten tomatoes and said i'm already working on another project for tyler so what's up right.

Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Hey, y'all. Hey. So as previously mentioned in the last hour, we're going to talk about President Biden in this hour. In recent comments, he said that the only thing that would keep him out of this presidential race was a medical condition. Well, moments later, he tested positive for COVID. He said that the only thing that would keep him out of this presidential race was a medical condition. Well, moments later, he tested positive for COVID.

Biden was scheduled to give a speech yesterday afternoon in Las Vegas, Nevada, when the head of the Latino advocacy group Unidos U.S. announced it was canceled. Now, the White House says that Biden is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms. The statement goes on to say that he's at home in Delaware where he will self-isolate. The White House adds it will provide regular updates on the president's status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation. Meanwhile, House Democrats are circulating a letter that urges the Democratic National Committee to slow down on nominating President Biden as the party's candidate. The letter has received 20 signatures, including from representatives in California and Pennsylvania. Now, speaking with NBC's Meet the Press recently, California Congressman and candidate for U.S. Senate Adam Schiff described

the sentiment within the Democratic Party. Let's hear more from him. The performance on the debate stage, I think, rightfully raised questions among the American people about whether the president has the vigor to defeat Donald Trump. This is not just about whether he gave it the best college try, but rather whether he made the right decision to run or to pass the torch. This is about whether this country remains a democracy, whether we veer off into some kind of pseudo-dictatorship. I know people feel an urgency. I feel an urgency. But I would tell the president,

slow down and take the time to make the right decision here. The vigor of my ass, that's those polls and him losing to Trump in every single swing state. That's what got them wanting to pull him right now. The polls, you know, you know, the polls aren't accurate. But anyways, Schiff went on to tell the Los Angeles Times that he has serious concerns that Biden can beat former President Trump in November. And there has been a flood of Democrats asking Biden to step aside.

As of Tuesday, 19 lawmakers have come out publicly calling for someone else to run in November. Now, Biden is up against the deadline that could make or break this 24 presidential race for him. Reports say Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was among the Democrats who pushed the DNC to delay a virtual roll call, officially nominating Biden. But DNC officials warn Biden could also have problems getting on the ballot in several states as that virtual call, if that virtual call does not happen by August 7th. Now, the DNC is actually scheduled for August 19th. So those states would either have to adhere to that virtual call or Biden might not make it on the ballot. This is not unheard of this has happened before so um chances are he will

probably make the ballot or those states will probably make um some sort of call for some sort of legislation emergency legislation anyways i don't know i don't know if biden can win in november if you ask me i say no but i'm also a dallas cowboy fan who thinks we'll win the super bowl every year but i don't believe he will win the lulu exactly i don't believe he will win in november so if they remove him from the ticket it will bring some type of energy to the campaign and it might signal a sense of urgency to the voters yeah but this is also like not something that happens often and then when it does it doesn't go well for that new candidate so um at least historically speaking so this comes as

reports say biden is now receptive um in recent discussions about his political future cnn reports a senior democratic advisor told the outlet he's being receptive not as defiant as he is publicly now the report goes on to say he's gone from saying kamala can't win to don't you think kamala can win the advisor adds it's still unclear where he's going to land but at least it seems that he is listening. I just want to say how all of these smart people did not see this coming. They should have been, you know, saying this a year ago. They should have been saying this two years ago.

You know, I thought the whole purpose of Biden winning was for him to be a transitional president. Like, it's not like people weren't asking these questions. My dumb ass was asking these questions a year ago. Simply, can the biden harris ticket win in 2024 i simply said uh back in december i thought he should have gave america the greatest christmas gift and stepped down back then how do you just get to this conclusion you know four months from an election now what did what did they see that we didn't see does kamala have enough time to to do what she needs to do to win though that that's another thing by

the way i don't know if it's gonna be kamala but if and is she likable that's the thing that is you know she she's she may not be likable but y'all think y'all want to run out there and vote for him so how how come and i'm not talking to you morgan i'm just saying how come all of a sudden likability you know is a fact right and that's a one out of four people don't like biden or trump 70 of all americans did not want a Biden-Trump rematch. So why all of a sudden does Kamala have to be the likable one? And I don't even know if it's going to be Kamala is what I'm saying. But I do think four months is more than enough time, especially if she's at the top of the ticket.

All right, y'all. So that's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Be sure you're following me on social at Morgan Media. And you can follow the Black Information Network at Black Information Network for more news coverage. And be sure to visit us at BINnews.com. Alright. Well, thank you, Morgan.

Thank you. Alright. When we come back, Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo will be joining us. Unprisoned Season 2 is out now in Hulu. And we're going to kick it with them when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests joining us this morning. That's right. We have Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo. Welcome. Thank you. Now, season two of Unprisoned is out now on Hulu.

For people who've never seen, break down what Unprisoned is about. Start from season one. This show is inspired by the life of a woman named Tracy McMillan, whose dad was in and out of prison her whole life. And it's really about this kind of intergenerational relationship between a dad, his daughter and his grandson. And when the dad comes out of prison, he comes to live with them and kind of how the three of them figure out how to coexist. So it's it's about what it's like to be a returning citizen. You know, when you're leaving the system and trying to reenter into the world, but it's also about what it means to love a returning citizen and be in a family that's grappling with how we are impacted by this so-called justice system. It's so meaningful to me because there's so many of us who have been impacted by the system, who have family members who've been incarcerated or been incarcerated ourselves. I mean, we were at a film festival last year

when the show first aired and we did four sit-down interviews and three out of four of the journalists had a parent who had been incarcerated and they were all different races too. I mean, this story, I'm very proud. This story is very much the story of a Black family and the particular challenges and joy that we experience. But this is also an

American story. Like we are all dealing with the tragedy that is the justice system in this country and how it impacts us and for generations. You wouldn't think having said all that, you would think it's like a very heavy show. But part of what made me fall in love with this show is that it's a comedy. I mean, it's a dramedy,'s there's it's there's a lot of like joy and love and laughter because that's also who we are as a people like we are resilient we are survivors and this character that delroy plays edwin is like such a beautiful example of how we may have stereotypes about who's in the system or think we have stereotypes we think we know who those people are and we do not that's right well you talk about you know i was watching you talk about breaking generational curses right that that was seems one of the things

that was most important because you touch things of family members going to jail and how a lot of times when they come out people feel ashamed you talk about biracial relationships fathers trying to get back into their daughter and do those things. So why was that all important? Because those are all topics in our community. Sometimes we don't necessarily talk about outside the house. Amen. So as Carrie was was speaking and she she talked about the process that is that's alive in this in this work of these three individuals, myself, my daughter, and my grandson, Kerry's son. We're also unpacking what it means to love. What does love look like?

And when you talk about the intergenerational blockages to that and how, for instance men as an example how we are socialized to believe we are supposed to be a certain way and our generation your generation my gen we're all trying to interrupt that and this show is at the heart of that because we're trying to figure out and you say it carrie in the in the uh first um uh episode of two, that we need to break this chain. We need to break this process of this intergenerational pathology repeating itself over and over and over again. So there are all kinds of aspects to this work

that, yes, speak to the condition of being an African-descended person and what we deal with as families, as individuals, but it's human, man. It's human. I love, I love the,

what I loved about your question was, um, that you said, but these are things that we don't necessarily talk about outside the home. Yeah. And the reason we don't is because we think we're the only ones. And so we have this shame, right?

We have, we have shame that causes us to keep our secrets and not air our dirty laundry. The power of a show like this is that we get to provide people with an opportunity to see themselves reflected on a larger scale, right? So people get to be in their homes, but they know that they're not alone

because we're all dealing with trauma of some sort. We're all trying to figure out how to love our kids. We're all trying to figure out how to love our parents. We're all trying to figure out how to free ourselves, whether it's free ourselves from prison bars or free ourselves from the limitations that other people have placed on us. We're all on these journeys. We're trying to figure out how to love each other, ourselves. Yes. Yes. We're trying to figure out how to love each other, ourselves. Yes, yes. So we get to, with joy and humor, we get to kind of say to somebody like, here's the dirty laundry.

Every family has it. We're all navigating it. If we can put it out there and talk about it more freely, we can actually free ourselves. That's the joy of the show. It's like this family's drama is out for you all to consume and take in, feel less alone. And then we all move forward together. And it plays out in therapy too. I was going to say that it plays out in therapy. Like, you know, we've, we've been talking about in the last couple of years, more and more about going to therapy, but it plays out in therapy. And one time that was something that nobody ever talked about going

therapy, getting help. So the fact that as a family y'all go together is is i think it's big as well before we get to the therapy aspect i want to go back to the intergenerational thing because you know carrie said something just now we don't talk about it outside of the house because we don't talk about it inside of the house amen and that's what i love that y'all doing the show y'all are having those intergenerational conversations within the house so just talk to people about how important it is to have intergenerational conversations to not be. So just talk to people about how important it is to have intergenerational conversations, to not be so segregated in the home. As we're all talking this morning, we get to examine these dynamics within the construct of this television show.

Frankly and partially, my answer to your question is that I get to investigate for myself as a human being on the planet how intergenerational trauma, pathology has impacted me. And I get to use the conduit of Edwin, the character that I'm playing, to investigate some things that are very personal to me. As a result of that, I come on a show like this. And we, in this case, as black man as black woman get to discuss these things right and honestly sometimes i feel i can be more articulate in my work addressing certain issues than i can as a regular human being because when i take a half a step back and recognize that acknowledge that then i have then I'm faced with the challenge of, okay, man, you did this in an acting job.

Now address it for yourself outside of the process of acting. You open up the conversation. You open up the conversation. You open up the conversation. Yeah, I mean, I think one of the things that's powerful is that for me, when you watch the show,

if you watch it with loved ones you have in the same way that delroy's saying like he can explore his issues through edwin you also somebody watching the show can explore their issues through page my character right like all day long you can have a conversation with your husband about something that page is going through and it gives you like space to kind of hide behind page is crazy because she's a little bit neurotic and crazy and that way it makes it easier like i think when our store when the storytelling that we're exposed to is telling the truths about all of us then it makes everything easier to talk about whether it's in our home or outside our home that's right right all right we got more with Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo

when we come back. Unprisoned Season 2 is out now on Hulu. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Alaris, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're back. We're still kicking it with Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo. Now, Delroy, I got to ask you a question. Sure. You're in your 70s. I don't talk about that part man okay i'm sorry my bad you look good you look great i'm looking at you like inspiration but the reason i say that is is my father is he just turned 80 my mother's in her 70s god bless

thank you yeah absolutely so when i when i look at them their way of thinking and their way of doing things is totally different from us right so how was that what you acting because things evolved so you know when my mom and dad it was like a kid's place is a kid's place they didn't talk about things but my kids is a lot different so how was it for you evolving to a different way of thinking a different way of learning and seeing the world okay so i have a son he's just turned 23 the joke that i tell and karen and i as parents have had these kinds of conversations as parents, our relationship to our kids, right?

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. A father who did not raise me. What I took from the way that my dad did not raise me, he gave me a really good lesson in what not to do in terms of raising my son. And that's valuable. I would say that because my son is 23 and I've been raising him for 20 plus years, my philosophy, my way of being with my son has evolved and developed

way before I started doing on prison. However, and I don't want to tell anybody how to raise their kid, but communication is everything. Everything. Everything. We have to talk to each other.

We got to talk to our kids because frankly, as you all know, kids see everything. They do. Whether they articulate it to you or not they are watching and they see everything and they know so challenge number one for me as a parent is to try to be as genuine and open with uh my child as i can be and that's one of the

challenges and by extension how do we do that with our, how do we do that with our friends? How do we do that with our loved ones, man? How do we do that? And it's an ongoing process. But I got to say something. You guys have not seen the second season, I'm assuming, right? No. Okay, so I looked at the episodes from the second season a few weeks ago. And I got to tip my hat to the fact, Carrie, that you do not shy away from Paige's neuroses.

You don't shy away from that it's admirable and it all you know what's interesting Delroy I want to tell you what's interesting for me is there's something I think there's a little bit more of that for me in this season and I don't think it's unrelated to actually the last time that I was here at the Breakfast Club I don't think it's unrelated to my memoir because there was something about me writing my book and being like as fully vulnerable in the world as I could possibly be that allowed me to understand that Paige also was ready to be vulnerable at a different level. Like this season, she's ready to be like more raw and to, because

she really wants to heal. Like so much of what this season about is about guys is that my son is struggling. And so even though my dad and I have been like dancing around each other, trying to coexist when When his grandson, my son starts to struggle, that's the thing that gets us in family therapy because we're like, whatever stuff we're working out, whatever issues we have, it should stop with us. We should not be passing this on to the next generation. And the only way to do that is if we show up and like unpack it. If we wrestle with the stuff that is limiting us, that is preventing us from being who we want to be. If we can unpack that stuff,

then we can prevent ourselves from passing it on to him. You know, I think a lot of it is like, I was doing that work in between season one and season two in my own life so much but i really understand this like need that page has to do the work to really figure out who she is so that she doesn't irresponsibly just pass her issues on to the next generation i want to ask about that carrie because you know page is a therapist on the show clearly she's a therapist who needs a therapist so i want to ask about that, Carrie, because Paige is a therapist on the show. Clearly, she's a therapist who needs a therapist. So I want to ask you...

All of them do. Let me tell you, if your therapist doesn't have a therapist, get a new therapist. I was going to ask, how do you believe therapy is going to help Paige, but in real life, how do you go to a therapist who didn't have a therapist? One of the things I love about this season is I think our therapy scenes are some of the funniest episodes this season.

Last season, we had a big um dance battle scene this season we have a an episode where we're in family therapy and it actually turns into a wrestling match like a wwf wrestling match it's so much fun and it really is this idea of like we have to wrestle with it we have to wrestle with it. We have to wrestle with this stuff. And I think a therapist, nobody's perfect. So to me, I always want to make sure that my therapist is in therapy because nobody is perfect. Everybody, therapy is not about being wrong or bad or broken. It's about perspective and growth. So everybody should be bouncing your ideas off of somebody so that you are fully responsible for the time you're with your clients and you're not projecting your stuff onto your

patient. One thing I did see that is going to be, it's going to, a lot of people are going to really take to it is when I guess there's a scene where your son wants to talk to his dad and you're like, nope, it's not going to happen. I don't like him. It's not going to happen. And I know that happens in a lot of relationships where women might not mess with their baby that's not right though carrie but but you're like kids need their father and he's like i want to text my dad and that's the wrestling master i've seen uh so talk about that a little bit and how that scene came came about it's so so again this is uh like inspired by tracy m McMillan's life, but also we have this incredible room of writers also led by Yvette Lee Bowser,

who is like a comedic goddess. She was behind Living Single. All the shows in the 90s that we loved the most, Yvette Lee Bowser had her fingerprint on them. And so she's part of why we're able to have this incredible comedic tone in what we do. Also, Tracy's just hilarious too. But this, this issue of like, you know, Paige has issues around control and she feels like her baby daddy hasn't been present in the way that she's wanted him to be. And so she

has a block on their relationship, which is so ironic, right? Because she knows the issues that she deals with from her own dad being in and out of her life. And yet she's repeating that pattern with her son by preventing his dad. So I will let you know that they work through it and we do get to meet his dad this season, which is amazing. And it's very humbling for Paige to have to, you know, be open to that. And one of the things I want to toss to you, Delroy, because this is one of the ways you see where the intergenerational village is so important. Because there are ways in which Paige doesn't know how to walk her son through this journey, but her father as another man can walk her son through this journey with a different kind of wisdom and a different kind of presence. And so you realize why it's so important for us to be able to work on our

family connections and heal our family wounds, because the more that we're able to be in community with our family, the more growth we can have. All right. We got more with kerry washington delroy lindo when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking with actress kerry washington and actor delroy lindo on prison season two is out now on hulu charlamagne you know

um another theme in this show i love any conversation about dealing with your inner child. So, Carrie, talk about the significance of the interactions Paige has with her inner child. That little girl is brilliant. She's Jordan McIntosh. She's phenomenal. And, you know, if you haven't seen the show yet, for anybody who's listening,

go back and watch the first season also because we get to meet Edwin's inner child as well. And it's one of my favorite episodes of the series. But working with Jordan is so joyous for me. And what we realized in that process of casting, we had to ask ourselves, like, what is the point of little page on the show? And what we wanted little page to be was we wanted her to be, you know, that part of you that exists before society tells you that you're not enough. That part of you that is brave and bold and fearless. And it's before a teacher tells you you move too slow or you're too loud or you're not pretty enough or you're not like all the ways that society gets in your head.

And that's what Jordan was. Jordan was that fierceness of Paige, of me, before the world told me a lie that I was not enough. So the relationship with the little Paige, with my inner child on the show is so important because it's part of how Paige is doing the work to grow and move forward. What about you, Mr. Lindo? My first response is, I don't know. I don't know.

And on some level, that's a scary place to be. But it affirms that throughout all of my foibles, all of my insecurities, all of my neuroses as a human being, something in the work centrally has some value to my fellow human beings. And that's why one wants to be an actor in the first place. Is it because the character, Edwin, is forcing Delroy Lindo to have to deal with some things that Delroy Lindo has never dealt with? Because I was going to ask, even with the inner child thing, you being an elder, does your inner child ever get the healing they deserve and because they say when you great question when you get to your age now it's like you go back to the great great question great question

and i would say that i'm navigating that as we speak partially through the work but i'm also writing a memoir right now and and car Carrie and I have talked about this somewhat. But in engaging in that process and engaging in stuff that happened to me when I was four, five, six, seven, eight years old. Right? How does one understand that? How does one get to a place of understanding with that stuff?

I'm unpacking all of that right now. It's an unfolding and evolving process as we speak. But even that, as I sit here watching you as one of our greatest, for you to have the courage to sit at a table and say, I don't know, I'm in process, I'm unpacking, I'm unfolding. That gives so many of us permission to be in process. I think that's one of the things that I love about our show is that we're so in process.

We are a family that is so in process, but there's so much joy. Like we're not pulling our guts out to suffer. We're doing the work because you get to see all through the season. Every time we do the work on the other side is more love, is more joy, is more acceptance, more belonging. Even when the love is flawed, right? Love is flawed. It is flawed all day long, right? We're in the mud, man, and we're trying to see it and mold it and all that.

And that's profoundly human. You said something that's connected to what we're discussing right now you said i'm going on steven colbert did you say that yeah so given the event since last friday right and saturday and sunday and you're going into a um a sphere and i'm wondering how much realness do you bring to that all of it because this is a moment that's way bigger than us right now it's way bigger than way bigger than us and you know i'm scared right now yeah we're at a very pivotal point in our society right now but it's more pivotal than the pivot than how pivotal it was last week yes of course yes it's

sharper now because the way this has come down in the last four or five days absolutely scary oh it's terrifying what the supreme court is doing who i what i don't even think is a legitimate court anymore on top of project 2025 on the way there's a yeah it's a lot right it's a lot and and and what we're what we've been talking about in this conversation has to do with a certain kind of truth that we as actors are trying to get to truth for ourselves as human beings truth for ourselves as as as creative workers and we're trying to bring all of that together and we're putting it out there and now another dimension of having messed around with that truth is now dealing with how that truth has impacted our audiences which is is crazy is, you know, Kerry, a lot of this seems like scandal.

Like, a lot of this seems like we've seen it before on your show. Like, can you talk about that? How this seems like it's reliving again. Yeah, there was a whole episode of scandal that this happened. Art imitating life. Yes. People were saying it's staged,

but we know it's not staged, but it was an episode of scandal where he did stage it. Yeah, I think, you know, one of the things that that I want us to be talking about more is that too many of us are not participating in the process, are not are thinking that it's OK to not vote. What concerns me is that so much of it stems from this belief that we have internalized that we don't matter. And that's part of why this work that we do matters to me is because we tell these stories so that people see themselves so that they know that they matter. And I want people to participate in our democratic process because I want you to know that you matter. Like this word democracy is getting thrown around. What I want to remind people is that what it means't fix it by stepping out of the process. And I know that that's hard because life is very hard for a lot of us right now. And we feel like we want to step out of the process because the process isn't made for us and the process isn't working for us and

the process doesn't include us. We have to force ourselves into the process because the alternative is not a government by the people for the people but an autocrat which is like a president who does whatever he wants whenever he wants however he wants um i just want y'all to know this is the black dinner table yeah you think about all the issues we covered in a matter of 40 minutes. Therapy, biracial, coming from jail, everything. Oh, my God. I mean, we appreciate you guys for joining us so much. We need you guys back, especially individually, so we can talk about both of your careers.

It's the 30th anniversary of Crooklyn. We got to discuss Romeo Must Die. Hold on. No, I got it. Right? I know y'all gotta go I do have to ask the Romeo Must Die question

because Mr. Lindo you worked with Aaliyah and DMX you played Aaliyah's father does it make you appreciate life more because you're still here

at 71 and those two beautiful individuals have passed on yes yes a thousand times yes

and that I didn't know DMX as well but that young lady was such a beautiful spirit, man. And I don't know, she had this, I didn't know who she was before we did the film. Extraordinarily beautiful spirit. She was like a sponge.

She just wanted, she wanted to learn. She wanted to move herself forward in terms of whatever her image was. The young lady that I knew, that I interacted with, was a profoundly beautiful spirit. It broke my heart when we lost her, man.

There you have it. Season 2 of Hot Prison is out now. God bless y'all. We thank you for joining us. Kerry Washington, Delroy Lindo, Mr. Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you, guys. God bless y'all.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Let's get to Jess with the mess. News is real, web. News is real. Jess Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lies. Don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody.

Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club She was able to get y'all to see something And understand something That nobody could get you to see It's time to set it off So Pop Smoke's mother

Speaks on his killer doing interviews So she sat down with T.T. Torres His mother's name is Audrey Jackson T.T. She recently did an interview with T.T. Torres. His mother's name is Audrey Jackson. T.T. Yep. See, she recently did an interview with T.T. And during the conversation, T.T. brought up the fact that Blockstar, who participated in Pop Smoke's murder, has been doing interviews since his release from prison.

If you don't remember, this is some of what he said in an interview with Adam 22 that we reported on last week. I'm not sorry about nothing. No, it should never happen, but I ain't sorry. And if I could go back, I'll go back. But I ain't sorry. Like, he f***ed up every day. Like, he was rapping about it. All types of s***.

So I ain't sorry about it. But I sent my condolences to the family. I wish it never happened, but I don't regret nothing. He ain't learned not a damn thing in the last four years he was in prison. How old is he?

He's like, what, 2021 now, I guess? What a clown. Like 17. They were 17 18 16 Yeah I think like 21

Yeah And you wanna say He don't know no better But that is the age To know better right Yeah Especially if he sat down For a couple of years

You would think He would change his mentality That's the time To think about it Yeah Why he in interviews Cause it was like I don't know

But he was on no jumper I have no idea But um It's contradicting Cause he was like if i could go back i would but i'm not sorry because the things that he rapped about like so like what what are you talking about it's just are you sorry or not would you go back and do it differently or not because he said the same he said both of them in the same interview so i have no idea but this is what pop smoke's mother had to say about it I'm not tuned into

that it's not so much that I'm closing it out it's that it's just not a part of my world and I felt away when you just said that he was being disrespectful because I've been told that he's been interviewing and being disrespectful and I gotta let that go because that'll eat me up yeah I gotta let that go yeah because the bottom line is your life is over. But if that's his approach to what he's done, life is done for him. Don't none of this sit right with my spirit. I don't even like the energy. Like some things you just got to ignore. But the thing is like as his mom, how can you ignore it?

And he is on like he's doing interviews. Oh, no, I'm not talking about his mom. I'm talking about himself. I don't about his mom. I'm talking about us. He's talking about himself. Yeah. Like, I don't want that energy there. I'm talking about me. Yeah, I mean, it's sad for his mom that his mom has to keep, I'm sure, reliving this each and every time they hear it or somebody talks about it.

So definitely always sending condolences. Absolutely. New judge recuses. Now, is the bottom one coming out in his word recused? Recused. Yeah, recused. Recused. Yo said it's rescued.

The person now assigned to oversee these proceedings is Judge Paige Reese Whitaker, who's also served on the Superior Court of Fulton County since 2017. So a new judge here, Judge Shakira Ingram, she chose to step away from the case, citing her court's former assigned deputies allegations relating to a YSL defendant. In a written order, Judge Ingram said the deputy could be called as a witness in any future proceedings. So she had replaced Judge Yorall Glanville, who was recused from the case on Monday. His removal came following complaints about a private meeting he held last month with prosecutors and a witness but not with any defense attorneys present

well that's good she recused herself yeah that's the second one though so i'm wondering where does this case go like you know you think about a thug just got to sit there why they got to find another judge and go through the process again i don't understand why he can't at least get a bond at this point. At this point, at least give the brother a bond so he can come home. You know, I don't know. I guess be on house arrest or something. But like to be sitting in jail having to fight this case when they don't even have this case together. They can't even fight a case because they don't have a judge.

I'll tell you one thing, though. I saw the judge that they got on the case now. That white woman? That white woman. She don't look like she play. Yeah, she don't have a judge i'll tell you one thing though i saw the judge they got on the case now got a white woman that white woman she don't look like she play yeah she don't look good now yeah that didn't look that didn't look too uh too promising but i still feel like they don't have no case at this point i really don't know why they haven't dismissed this case all together it should be a mistrial and it's been what how long they've been going back and forth what two years about two years two years j About two years. Two years.

Jesus Christ. Feel like longer than that. I don't even know what you're talking about. Yeah, it does feel like, yeah. And nothing has come about. Anyway, Brandon Casey accident. So, Brandon from Jagged Edge revealed that he was in the hospital recovering from a car accident. Yo, this is crazy.

The way this car looks, these are his injuries. He has a broken neck, broken ribs, skull fracture, and scalp lacerations. He was recovering at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. He also shared that he was in the ICU for five days following the accident. And on social media, he wrote after he posted the car, God got me. It's like something keep trying to take me off this planet god keep telling them nope not him not yet all praises to the most high most awesome most wonderful god thank you lord

from your most loyal soldier yo if y'all could see this car it's like there's like the hawk got mad and y'all see it? Hell yeah. Oh wow. Crazy. Yeah, and he said he usually don't post things like this but he wanted to know that he wanted people to know

just what no law fender bender like he should be dead. Did he say what happened? Was he did somebody hit him or not?

Nope, he did not clarify that. He just posted a picture of the wreck. Wow. And he wanted us to know how serious that it is but God always got him. God bless that wreck. Wow. And he wanted us to know how serious that it is. But God always got him. God bless that brother.

I'm glad he knows he's still here for a reason. Absolutely. Absolutely. That's what most of his post was about. So I love seeing that. But yeah, so prayers to him and his family. But that is just for the mess for the second hour. All right.

Thank you, Jess. Charlemagne, who you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hours, man. Four after the hours is just another reminder of why it feels good to be a faithful black man. We'll discuss. Alright, and then after that, you know, Jess, fix my mess. If you need

relationship advice or any type of advice you can get on the phone lines right now, 800-585-1051. Donkey of the Days up next. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. The craziest people in America. I really got Bronx trouble.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. We in the Bronx. We've been talking about that. Shut up. Y'all not shutting us down. We in the car course. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida. Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news?

If I catch y'all ass in traffic, I whip her, my genie out, y'all gonna say. It is just one of the many wacky news stories out of Florida. On The Breakfast Club. Yee-haw, man. Oh, Kodak. Doggy of the day for Thursday, July 18th goes to a Florida man simply known as AJ. Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception.

See, I saw some body cam footage, okay? There's some body cam footage that was released that shows two female florida fish and wildlife commission officers questioning a man identified as aj and his girlfriend on a boat somewhere in the florida keys it all started because the two officers told the couple they were searching the area for a different vessel in their jurisdiction and lo and behold cops discovered that aj and his girlfriend didn't have ids on them and the boat he was operating was breaking the number of codes. So AJ starts to get agitated and asked the officers if they're just out here trying to catch people breaking laws on the water.

The cops replied and just let AJ know, hey, we're just doing our job. AJ starts to get pissed off. So one of the officers asked AJ, say, bro, you got a warrant out? Because people only start acting like this because they've got a warrant. AJ's girlfriend tells him to relax you're freaking out so aj being the florida man he is tells the officers so what happens if i jump in the water and just swim away the officer tells aj i'm gonna follow you i'm telling you you're not free to leave then the cop looks and realizes aj does have a warrant out so aj says i'm I'm going to swim home. AJ's girlfriend says, AJ, I swear to God, if you jump in that water, I'll be gone tomorrow. Then AJ's girlfriend did something that is one of the greatest sources of anxiety for men all around the world.

She asked for the password to AJ's phone. In the middle of all this? Yes. What happens next is insane in 99% of the country, but it's just a perfectly normal Sunday in Florida. Let's go to ABC News 25 Columbia for the report, please. A Florida man jumped into the ocean. Why?

To avoid getting arrested for priors, and more importantly, being jailed permanently by giving his girlfriend his phone passcode. Oh, goodness. Now this video from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission shows AJ's girlfriend repeatedly trying to get him to calm down with his attitude, leading the officers to try and arrest him for an outstanding warrant.

He said he'd rather not go to jail on a Sunday because he'd have to spend the night. His girlfriend then pulled out his phone and repeatedly asked him to unlock it, telling him she can't help him unless it's unlocked. So what does he do? Well, he grabs the phone, then feet on the edge, bend at the knees, back stiff as a board, and spring, he dove right in the water where he proceeded to try and swim home cops jumped in handcuffed him and passed him off to a police officer waiting on the shore the thought of that florida man aj having to give up his passcode turn that man into michael phelps okay i read stories like this and all i think to myself is damn it feels good to be a faithful black man

drop one of clues bombs for us faithful black men. Don't have those problems and don't want those problems. Nothing makes you feel more free than just handing your woman your phone with no worries or guilt. You'd be like, baby, look at this video and just hand her your phone. Video can be a whole minute, 30 seconds, sometimes even two. When you a faithful black male, you don't care. You walk out the room, let her walk walk let her look at it come back if the phone locks while she's walking when she asks you what's the passcode you can't wait to tell her in fact if you're really doing it right

she already know your passcode okay but if she don't you say it loud and proud like mike jones used to say his phone number 281-330- Okay, when you're a faithful black male, you are excited and happy to share the password to your phone the same way those of us born in the 1900s was proud and excited to share the Contra code. Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B-A, start. B-A-B-A, select, start, sir. It's B-A-B-A, select, start? Yeah, B-A-B-A, select, start.

Damn, I'm still lying about my passcode. Think about all the sharks, stingrays, gators, namors that could have been in that water. And he would rather the gators eat his ass than have his girlfriend catch him eating some ass that's not hers. Last time I saw a man jump in the water with no hesitation like that was the young brother from the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl. Drop on the clues bombs for that young brother. By the way, he might not have been cheating. He just didn't want his girlfriend to see his web browser history that alone can be a red flag okay nope you heard him say nobody wants

to go to jail on a sunday right because he wouldn't get out till monday that's very true nobody wants to go to jail on a sunday but in that moment he had to weigh his options spend the night in jail okay with some mentally ill person nicknamed Stink Shank. Or give your girlfriend the four-digit pin to get access to your phone. That man chose swimming with gators and sharks. Okay? All right? He didn't want option A or B. He had other plans.

God bless. And we don't have to play a game against what race it is because we know black men don't cheat. And black men can't swim. Psych. Psych. Okay, that is a false stereotype we came out to penis swimming all right i've been swimming since i was a sperm all right please give aj from florida the biggest hee haw

And maybe her summer was her vacation and she didn't want to feel obligated to be in a relationship. You know, maybe she ready for it now. Maybe the Lord told her it's time to sit down and see what's up with you. So hit her back up. Yeah, yeah.

Got it. All right. Yeah, thank you. That's good advice. All right, bro. Good luck. See y'all, Solomon, DJ Envy. Thank you.

We're in the middle of Jess Fix My Mess. Hello, who's this? Yes, this is Mikalito McCoy. I'm calling from Burgon, North Carolina. Hey, what's up, brother? What's your question for Jess? My question for Jess, I need her to help me fix my mess. My wife is 42.

I'm 48. And it's her fourth child she's pregnant with. And it's my eighth child. And, you know, when the pregnancy first started, she was very happy and was happy all the time. And just treating me, giving me all I want, you know. And then now whenever I come home from work in the evening time, she's like, as soon as she sees my face, it's like she's mad with me. So I'm sitting out on the doorsteps and sitting in the car, you know,

just to not stress her out because I know her blood pressure's went up a little bit, her iron is low and stuff like that. I'm just trying to figure out some things that maybe I can do to, you know, make her feel better with just being pregnant also, you know? I did the flowers, candy know, make her feel better with Jess being pregnant also, you know. I did the flowers, candy, seeing a candy person. I rub her feet. Sometimes that works, but it lasts for just a little while. What would Jess know about this?

She is Jamaican. What would I know about this? Anyway, so I'm 32 and pregnant, and I get irritated when I see my man's face sometimes just because, you know know we're hormonal but she's 10 years older than me she's also in her 40s and pregnant first of all congratulations on um the fact that she's even like willing to have another one of your kids sir that's amazing and i imagine that she's happy you know this is something that she wanted to do something that y'all both wanted i imagine but she's getting closer to birth, right?

I mean, which trimester is she in? How far is she? Hello? Sir? Damn. Yes, her due date is September 3rd. I'm sorry, my cheekbone hit me. No, it's all good.

So she's seven months pregnant? Yes. Yes, she's in her third trimester. Sir, you don't want to be bothered with anything. Anything. I say just be there. Flowers probably won't make a difference. Keep on doing it because it's the thought that counts.

Cook for her. Rub her feet. She's probably tired. Does she stay at home? Does she work? Yes. We actually have a business. She runs that store like every day.

And then she comes home and cooks dinner. And I try to hire somebody to do more working and just do more managing but she's just so independent she's jamaican she's rasta faro so you know you know she's stuck in her she's gonna do it her way you know yeah so let her do it her way but right exactly let her do it her way but you you kind of like you you gotta gotta like fall to her feet with this at this point until she give birth to this baby she's doing a lot so do what you can yeah rub her back massage her rub her down after a hot bath at night try to help her cook damn it damn she run a store does she come home and she cook yeah she won't she won't eat my cookies and she showed me

how to cook but she won't eat it like i And she showed me how to cook, but she won't eat it. Like, I cook country stuff, like sausage and rice. She's like, ew, that's disgusting. You're not Jamaican, are you? No, I'm from North Carolina. I'm Charlemagne's next door neighbor. Oh, my gosh. Okay.

So, yeah, I can see why she's pissed all the time. But, like, just until she had this baby, yo, you just got to understand it ain't really nothing that you can do but just be there. Even if she make it seem like she don't want you there. We really do, but we just get, it's hormones. So, you just got to. I think that she wants me to get a vasectomy. That's what she said? Yes.

You know, we talked about it around family. That's something that happened in my family in the past that I just can't. I haven't been able to make myself do it. And she says, well, it's harder for you than it is me. And I think that's part of it, too. We, like, got to still make with that. Like, her kids are too tired of me getting that done. I'm getting one.

I'm getting one, brother, if it makes you feel better. Your country cousin getting one. That's another one. I'm getting one, brother, if it makes you feel better. Your country cousin getting one. Yeah? Yes, sir. Yeah, I'm thinking very serious about it because she says, well, I'm having the babies, the least you could do is that. Yeah. And that's making me feel some kind of way, so, you know, maybe that'll work.

But it's a story of my family that when my family member got one way back and it never worked no more, and I'm like, I might lose it. Yeah, well, y'all need to that's something i might well y'all need to be careful with picking we all go to get it done i mean she's only getting older she's not getting younger i'm not saying she's old but she's up in age you know to keep having to carry children and actually take care of them you know what i'm saying like i imagine that's a lot of wear and tear on her body she had four of them you know what i'm saying like i imagine that's a lot of wear and tear on her body she had four of them you got eight of them so yeah y'all just off you know what i'm saying we got to carry these little mumps like we have to carry them so i just want you to be mindful of that um and that

don't mean just because it happened to your family member or something like that that it'll happen to you so just be careful and then even y'all gotta go to therapy about it'll happen to you. So just be careful. And then even if y'all got to go to therapy about it, just talk to her about it. Be open-minded. Thank you. No problem. Appreciate you listening. I love y'all.

on being kicked off tour. He hopped on Instagram yesterday to address Rick Ross after he claimed that he was kicked off a Rick Ross tour that's what he said so like why you ain't call me big homie why I got to get the call from talking about yo Rick Ross kicked you off the show I we work with I got the call from Barbados they like yo you know we do a lot of business with Rick Ross and we don't think Bobby's good for the show and this and that like come on bro bro i i don't know before i'm independent first of all i'm beef with higher powers in the industry already i already know who i i talked to i already got

nothing but my whole thing is though why like they like yo mmg called and said yo we don't want bobby schmert on the show bro i'm 30 years old bro why you gotta call you could have called me big homie yeah he apparently believes he was kicked off the tour because he made a video laughing at rick ross after his altercation in canada okay well i did yeah i mean the audio of that oh we got audio of that? Yo, I just see what happens, son. Yo, you got to... Okay, so if he did something that upset Ross and Ross decided he didn't want him on the tour no more, I can understand that. I can definitely understand that. And that laugh came from the diaphragm like

the diaphragm like that was funny that's the same way i had laughed um this main issue with being removed from the tour is that rick ross didn't call him personally because apparently he called him to put him on there you know so he just basically had somebody tell him you know like a middleman or whatever like no i want you on a tour But Bobby since then has deleted the video addressing Rick Ross So I guess we're gonna wait to see if he back on there or if he ain't but I mean I agree with the decision I mean it is what it is salute the Bobby's murder because it was very Embarrassing. Yeah, salute the Bobby's murder. Bobby's murder been having a time man

Like not only this but he said he be beefing with other powers too like people trying to stop him now he's making music he changed his life he changed his life since he came on we've been trying to do nothing but positive trying to stay away from the streets so he just looks happy he's a person that's happy to be out of jail some of y'all get out of prison and y'all just be looking like y'all want to go back you talk like you want to go back you act like you want to go back bobby don't act like that at all bobby having the time of his life salute to bobby schmurda having all the fun and other bobby news bobby eltoff addresses rumors so you know the girl uh y'all know the girl who does the the dry witty interviews like funny marco all right so she was recently um doing an interview with nle chopper to promote her next interview no she did

some behind the scenes footage with him to promote her next interview with nle chopper to promote her next interview no she did some behind-the-scenes footage with him to promote her next interview with an Ellie chop and in the video she had on a t-shirt and say is we effing or what you know so of course people speculate people already been talking about us and she liked to F people that she interviews or whatever in this specific comment didn't sit right with her. It said, damn, get divorced, choosing fame over your now ex-husband just to get passed around by different guys weekly. Now, Charlamagne, you always see this like we don't know these people. But this is a frequent comment that she has ignored for over a year. And she got fed up.

She said, I never respond to this comment that I've been getting a million times a day for the last year. But I'm really sick of seeing it. Anyone who says stuff like this is so effing ignorant. You don't know why my marriage ended. We're both so much happier apart than we ever were together. That's now our kids. It's good now that our kids get to see us to be happy instead of seeing zero happy with us being together i've never slept with someone that i interviewed and i don't sleep around and i rarely even go out but you guys can't effing

believe that a woman can be around men without sleeping with them it's so frustrating i can't post a single thing without comments about how i'm being passed around maybe you guys do that in your culture but not over here. Say no, Shane. You said that? Oh, I'm over here. She said that? No, I don't know. Say no, Shane said that last part, but she is pissed, like, and I would be too. I don't know about the rarely go out part, because, I mean, like you said, we don't see

these people every day, but every time I see her, she outside. She in places I wouldn't go. Absolute facts. But, I mean, she wore a t-shirt all we have for the night you know and she wore that's a song though that's a song lyric well she please she's wearing it to play into the stereotype and people ask questions like what do you expect well she should have wore a hawk to a t-shirt okay then they would really think it all right we'll get you one you really into that you know what nle chopper is big on his sexual content so everybody was just assuming that they had been

messing around and things like that but i i really felt for because uh this is the last excerpt that she wrote she said like do you really believe that it was my dream in life to be a divorced mom of two kids by 25 obviously not i'm obviously insecure about it and wish things played out differently in my life somebody thinking that he said she want to be black so bad. She was pissed about that. Y'all leave that girl alone. Leave her alone. In greater news, Usher is nominated for three Emmys for his Super Bowl halftime performance. Drop a bomb for Usher.
