Hey guys, it's us.
The Jonas Brothers.
I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
Nice.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We get to ask other people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite.
Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk, to David Letterman,
help make you funnier.
This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,
help an Acapella band with their between songs banter.
There's the worst singer in the group.
Worst?
Yeah.
Me.
Is there anything to the idea that because you're from Harvard,
you only got in because your parents made a huge donation.
The group.
The yard birds, right?
That's the name.
The Harvard yard, but they're open.
Do you have a name suggestion?
We're open.
Since you guys are middle-aged.
One erection.
Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your.
podcast.
Cuba me.
I need some jokes to make me seem funny.
I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on.
A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud.
But how long can this alliance last?
Tell me what you know.
Is somebody coming after me?
Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You're all finished or y'all.
Good morning, USA!
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Joe, yo, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe.
Joe.
Jess, hilarious.
My book is out right now.
Charlemagne to God.
Peace to the planet.
It's Thursday.
What's up, Amy?
What's going on?
Yes, it's Thursday.
One more day to the weekend.
Jess is running a little late.
Salamane's running a little late.
They'll be here in a second.
But this weekend is Memorial Weekend,
one of the most traveled weekends of the year.
So people are saying a lot of people are taking off tomorrow,
taking off Friday and heading out a little early.
They're saying traffic is building up on the major roadways already.
I guess people are going to the camp.
Carolinas, they're going to Virginia Beach, they're driving to Miami, they're heading to the airport.
So if that is your plan, maybe to leave today or after work today, leave earlier than projected because it's already a mess out there.
Now, they're saying the gas prices will deter a lot of people.
They say this from last year, gas prices are up about $1.60.
So they're saying give yourself a little extra time and keep in mind that the gas prices are high as a giraffe neck.
and it's going to be a lot this summer.
But enjoy your three-day weekend, of course, we have off Monday.
What's up, Red? How are you feeling?
Feeling good.
You watched a basketball game last night?
No, I'm not as tied into the Spurs OKC game as I should be
because it's a late game.
So, you know, that game is over at 11 o'clock.
Anyway, let's get the show cracking.
Tiffany Haddish will be joining us this morning.
Tiffany Haddish, congratulations to her.
She's the first comedian ever to be on the cover of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
So we're going to talk to Tiffany about her.
I mean, she's on a health journey.
That's amazing.
If you see the cover of Sports Illustrator,
you can tell her she really put work into her body.
So we'll talk to Tiffany, everything that she's got going on.
And today is BIG's birthday.
Natoria's BIG.
So we got to start the show with some BIG.
We have front page news.
Next, what we got.
I'll take one more chance.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
We start this morning in Washington
where two Capitol police officers
who defended the U.S. Capitol
during the January 6th attack.
They are now suing President Trump
and his administration in federal court.
So the officers, Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges,
they filed a lawsuit on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court.
They are asking a federal judge to dissolve the Justice Department's newly created $1.8 billion
dollar anti-weaponization fund.
Now, that's the fund that was designed to compensate people who say that they were unfairly investigated
or prosecuted during the Biden administration.
So the officers, they argue that the fund, it directly endangers their lives and says that
It encourages people who attack the Capitol on January 6th to continue acting violently.
That's right.
Let's listen to Officer Harry Dunn.
Why do I have to sue?
Because this is what this administration is all about.
It's about rewarding bad players.
January 20th last year when Donald Trump was inaugurated, he forgave the insurrectionist for what they did to us, what they did to this country.
He forgave them.
You know, like I said, it's unclear who the actual payments are going to.
But this, I think this also shows.
incentive to the people who committed violence in Donald Trump's name.
This is taxpayer money.
So President Trump's acting attorney,
excuse me, acting general,
Attorney General, Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche,
and Secretary Scott Bessick,
they are all defendants named in this lawsuit.
So the fund created last week as part of a settlement,
the president, you know, he made against the IRS.
It's used of taxpayer money, like he said,
and the acting attorney general has confirmed
there are no limits on who can apply,
including those individuals who are connected to the January 6th Capitol Riot.
The Justice Department so far has not said anything about this this morning,
but we are,
we assume that they will have a response to this lawsuit.
That's what I've been saying all week.
Donald Trump paid off his goons, right?
And, you know, he already pardoned these people.
And on top of that, they're getting financial compensation.
That's just incentive, you know, for when he needs their call on them again.
And I think that'll be during the midterms, you know, to these voting booths.
And suit to my guy, Harry.
I know Harry.
I didn't even think about that, man.
What about the police officers that day who had to deal with that?
Why they don't get no compensation?
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's another point that he was making.
And now to South Carolina, where the State House Republicans are moving forward with a new congressional map aimed at dismantling the district held by long time Democratic Congressman Jim Clyburn.
So the South Carolina House, they passed the redrawn map shortly after midnight yesterday.
Four Republicans broke with their party and they voted on the proposal.
So the legislation now heads to the state Senate, and if it passes, the new mat will go to a Republican governor, Henry MacArthur, for his signature.
So if you are in South Carolina this morning, here's what you need to pay close attention to.
The bill does delay your state's congressional primaries.
So the election that was originally scheduled for June 9th will be pushed back to August 18th.
It also means that the district that you've been voting in may not be the district that you live in anymore.
And the candidates that you were expecting to see on that ballot may also change.
Early voting in South Carolina is still set to begin next Tuesday as of now, but that could change depending on this bill.
So you want to check your district, check your ballot, and play close attention to your local election officials in the coming days.
So, yeah, that redistricting that we're seeing all over the south is now in South Carolina.
And so they will see if that bill makes it to the governor's desk and he signs that.
So we'll watch that.
And coming up at 7, TSA is sending travelers mixed messages about what can legally, legally make it through airport security right now.
We'll break it down and what you need to know in the next hour.
All right.
Everybody else, get it off your chest.
800-585151.
If you need to vent phone lines are wide open again, 1-800-5-105-1, it's the breakfast club.

Whoever knocking from the back,

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Okay, so first off, DJ Envy.
Yes, sir.
I just want to say thank you so much.
I was listening,
every day. I was listening when you
announced the car show. Yes, sir.
And when you say Stacey's cupcakes,
I was like, yo, Envy is my
guy. But, Charlemagne
is the reason why.
Charlemagne is the reason why everybody
know who I am. So, Charlemagne, thank you.
Wait, Charlemagne, let's get this together.
But wait a minute. So you and Envi hadn't
he hadn't already talked to you about being there?
He just made sure his booze on his list.
Stacey comes to all my events.
I'm sure he does.
Stacey comes to the black fan.

He participates in all my events.
Did that sound better?
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Without no confusion.
Without no confusion.
No, to wait, Charlemagne, really quick.
Yes, sir.
You know, I was at your last expo, and I gave away a bunch of free cupcakes to everybody,
and they loved it.
I want to get this straight right now.
Can I do your mental wealth expo in October?
Because I heard you announce it.
Stacey, you know, there's a protocol.
You know that.
Yeah, I got to talk to the people.
You know, my home girl,
my home girl, Debbie Brown is curating it this year,
so I got to talk to her.
He said, well, talk to whoever you got to talk to.
Listen, Charlemagne, you are worth
a billion dollars.
You can make anything else out of house.
Wow.
You all the dollars, bro.
You got breakfast this morning, bro?
Period.
Yo, Charlemagne has worked a lot.
Don't let Charlemagne play y'allet like that.
We know what Charlemagne is worth.
God of them is like the new black Bill Gates.
God.
I know that's right.
God made all of us of value.
We are all God's children.
We are all of high values.
But Stacey, I will see you July 25th for the drive your dreams car show in Hampton.
If you haven't got your tickets, get your tickets.
I will be doing cupcakes on the moon if you ask me to.
I know that's right.
I love it.
Oh, my goodness.
Love y'all.
You have a good day.
Please, Stacey.
Yes.
And kids five and under are free.
So bring the family out.
Bring the kids out, man.
It's a family fun day.
carnival rides and games.
We want to see more and more kids.
My kids will be there.
So like I said,
kids five and under all free.
I'll do cupcakes for envy if he mooned me.
That's crazy.
That's what you heard.
That's crazy.
Is that what you heard?
Like what kind of freaky,
dicky stuff y'all got going on?
Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning.
This is Mark from Mount Vernon.
Mark from Mount Vernon.
What up?
Get it off your chest, Mark.
What's up?
Good morning, Jess.
Good morning, Charlene.
I don't got nothing to get off my chest.
I just wanted to give my son a shout out.
My son, J.C.
before this first call yesterday.
Hey.
What type of car?
He got a 2013 deep grand charity.
Okay.
Oh.
Well, congratulations to him.
Yeah.
You're going to help him with the insurance?
I know the insurance is going to be high for the fact that he's a young man.
Yeah, for sure.
But we're going to work with him.
Okay.
And he and his mom will help him out.
That's what it is.
Proud of him.
Thank you, guys.
Yeah, about good day.
My guy.
You too.
Get it off here, Chess.
800-585-105-1.
If you need the vent, hit us up now.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Chief calling.
800 585-105-1.
We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, breakfast club.
This is Michelle from Atlanta.
Hey, how much?
When you're listening to us at, Michelle, on 96.1?
Oh, yeah.
It's 106.
1 to be.
Thank you very much.
Sluke to my guy, Louis V.
Louis V.
Get it off your chest, Michelle.
First off, I want to say I'm black and highly flavored
or whatever Charlotte may be saying.
Favor, not flavored.
Okay.
You know.
Even I'm sure you taste amazing.
Of course.
But anyway, I just wanted to keep you with Charlamagne a little bit about the fat passengers.
I work for an airline.
Oh, I love me a good key to me.
Come on, about fat people.
Let's go.
Oh, God.
Talk to me.
So we call them customers of size.
Customers of size.
Okay.
Oh, gosh.
That is so messed.
You know what?
We got to have some enjoyment.
Working at the airport can be stressful.
That's our, like, our gas.
So if they checking in and somebody at the curb see them,
they are already telling the people at the ticket counter like,
hey, it's the customer size?
I think that's very respectful.
I think that's very respectful.
That is very respectful.
I like that more than if there's a fat person over there.
There's a customer of size.
Yeah, and I feel bad for them when they got to get the seatbelt extender.
Y'all should do it in a way where they ain't got to ask.
So y'all should know who it is and give it to them.
You know, we try.
We try.
But some of them may be in denial about.
their conditions. So then that's when they get embarrassing when they already on the plane.
You should, you should, um, have like a hand signal or something.
I'm maybe like a little, uh, uh, maybe like a little cold words. Like when big girls come on,
a big men come on and they need an extended seabelt, they just be like wobble, baby.
No, no. What airline are for, mama? No. Uh, I work for Southwest. Oh, Southwell. Okay.
Oh, wow. Southwest got cargo planes for the customers of size.
Your shut.
Oh, my gosh.
Stop.
Damn, and all the seats on there
the same size.
All of them.
Hello, who's this?
Even first class.
Hey, what's going on?
Man, it's Jamari.
Jamari, what's up?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Everybody, man.
How's that doing, man?
Yeah.
I'm just trying to say, don't,
don't spoil it for me, man.
I've been listening to y'all, man.
And I've been watching a nemesis.
I'm only on episode two.
It's good so far.
I thought.
But the acting, I ain't going to live.
I see they got a fake-ass.
Samar Moore, they got a fake ass 50 sin, and I already see the person who was a dial for.
But you see, but you see, it started off good.
Like, it started off like, oh, I'm going to like this.
It started, it made me feel like belly.
And then I just, the act, it just was, I just didn't get it.
Yeah, I ain't got to what you got to yet, though.
But when I'm just saying so far, you know, I'm a movie critic, so I'm kind of trying to
predict what's going to happen already.
Dang.
But yeah, so far it's good, man.
Hopefully it gets better, man.
I don't know.
All right. Well, I...
Yeah, all the way from Detroit, man. I love y'all, man. Y'all keep doing what I do.
You're a movie critic, you say?
Yeah, I'm definitely a movie critic, man. Any movie I watch, man.
He's a self-movie critic. I'm not a professional.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
But it makes sense why he like it because the Tooby movies are big in Detroit.
Don't do him.
They are. They're big in Detroit. So that's kind of that lame.
Go relax.
Yeah, you can make fantastic low-budget stuff.
I went to go see a fantastic movie last night that had a budget between $700.
$150,000 and a million dollars and it's called Obsession.
Oh, that's a little budget?
Of $750,000 to a million dollars for a movie?
That's in theaters, absolutely.
Oh, okay.
That's in theater.
It's okay.
But it made $16 million in the film festival because Focus Featured films bought it.
And it came out in theaters last week and made $21 million at the box office.
I would go see it last night.
It's a hard movie.
And I don't be paying people to scare me.
But I was so intrigued by the story because the kid was a YouTube.
But it's good.
Yeah, well, this is, you know, you remember the Tyler Perry thing?
The guy hit the guy and he spun around six times.
It kind of feels like that type of act.
That's fantastic.
Well, that's pretty.
That's one of my favorite scenes.
That's the only scene because you just said.
Yeah, but you didn't watch the full episode.
I'm sure you just watched that scene all the time.
That's it.
That's the only scene.
That's the show where the guy dropped his pants and said, come get this ass.
Oh, my God, that's Beauty and the Black.
That was Beauty and the Black, okay.
No.
Beauty and the Black.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not Beauty.
It's not Beauty.
It's not Beauty.
Beauty and Black.
Oh, my God.
He dropped.
He dropped.
You drop this pain and say,
You know you want this bad.
The fact of your book,
word and line by line is crazy.
Get it off your chest.
800585-105-1.
Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up.
What?
Good morning, y'all.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What you made?
I just said okay.
L.L. Cool.
We almost wore that again today, Envy.
That hoodie, that Milan.
You should have worn his hoodie
because you got lace,
leather, denim.
Denim.
You all over the place.
She doesn't know whether she want to go to a funeral
or a bad boy reunion.
She is ready.
A little pop-out, you know, it's cute.
All right.
Who we got?
What will be talking about?
Yes, so we are talking about
Dionne Coe and Chelsea Handler.
We got some white-on-white crime
about the happen here.
Because Chelsea Handler is finally talking about
how she felt about the jokes
at the Kevin Hart roast.
I'm about to say,
Dionne's black.
She sat down with Dionne Co.
But, yeah, it's some things about to be,
some words about to be flown.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
It's the Breakfast Club.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers.
And guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from some SNL, late night comedy guy. Not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel
and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman
help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter
Seidel, help an Acapella band with their between songs banter.
There's that worst singer in the group? The worst? Yeah. Me. Is there anything to the
idea that because you're from Harvard,
you only got in because your
parents made a huge donation.
The group.
The yard birds, right?
That's the name.
The Harvard Yardt.
They're open.
Do you have a name suggestion?
We're open.
Since you guys are middle-aged.
One erection.
Listen to humor me with
Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart
radio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcast.
You know me.
I need some jokes to make me seem funny.
Like your talk, LL. Cube.
Yeah.
I'm not dumbing myself.
Damn, I'm being myself.
That source is much.
I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything.
The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.
Take me through there.
Take me through there.
The latest with Lauren Oloose.
On the breakfast club.
L.L. Coobe.
Talk to me.
So Chelsea Handler.
sat down with Dion Cole for his funny knowing you.
And they talked about the roast.
And she went in on racist comedians.
Let's take a listen.
And I knew they would be lazy because they do that for a living.
And I knew enough about Tony Hinchcliff and Shane and their backgrounds.
I had ex-girlfriends blowing up my DMs that had dated Shane and were telling me stuff about him.
So based on that, I was like, oh, these guys are pretty bad.
Tell us now.
What's shit, Shane?
It's just everything we know that they're racist, that they're big.
that they're sexes, that they think they're like invincible.
It was gross.
There's not, I don't find those jokes to be funny,
junk's about lynching black people.
Linching is not if Joe is not, that's worse than rape.
Like, you're not joking about rape, are you?
Are you saying, I'm going to go rape you?
You know, you can't do that, but you can say lynching.
People are like, it's a roast.
You go for it.
I'm like, you can go for it without being gross.
Like, I find that to be gross.
I found them making fun of Cheryl Underwood's like dead husband who committed suicide.
She said she's fine with that.
She's fine with that.
I wasn't fine with that.
Valid points, you know, made all across the board.
I mean, she said that on stage, though.
When she was on stage doing her role,
she was telling Shane he was racist,
and she had a bunch of racist, you know, things to say to him.
About jokes, her jokes were rooted in his racism.
Yes.
I wonder how Kevin Hartzit feels about all this now.
I was thinking that yesterday.
Because, remember, the day after he got on his live
and said, you know, hey, he thought it was a great role.
So everybody did their job.
They did what they were supposed to do.
I wonder, you know, looking back at it,
does he still feel that way?
Well, he's a comedian, and, you know, a lot of comedians feel like comedy is subjective, right?
So, you know, but what I always say is, what's funny to you is a trigger to somebody else.
So it's like everybody has the right their opinion.
Yeah, I just don't think it was funny.
I didn't like it either.
I totally agree with Chelsea, everything she said.
And a lot of the comedians that were there are doing each other's, like shows now.
Cheryl Underwood, this just aired last night, was on Matt.
Kill Tony, right?
No, she was on Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast, and they were talking about the jokes at her and George.
Let's take a listen to Cheryl Underwood on the George Floyd joke.
I did not know that Tony was going to do the George Floyd joke.
My only feeling is if you don't have the right response that blows up the room even further,
you've set back the cause.
So sometimes it's say less.
If you ain't got nothing good to cut his throat wit figuratively about comedy, shut the fuck up.
Because you're going to make it worse.
Yeah, I just don't see how you make a joke about violent, tragic death.
I just don't see where the George Floyd situation can be humorous in any way, shape, or form.
All the Charlie Kirk situation.
You know what I mean?
All Cheryl and Newwood's husband committing suicide.
All Pete Davis' dad died in 9-11.
But Cheryl and Pete, like I said, are different to me because they make jokes about it themselves, and they were part of the actual roast.
So they signed up for that.
They agreed to that.
So, you know, that's all in them.
Yeah, well, I mean, look, I just feel like with the time Brady roast, one of the things that normally happens is this, is that there's a ton of conversation after.
Kevin Hart's Rose, it's, what, we, like, what, a week or so out?
maybe two, and we're still having conversations about it.
So, you know, if comedy is meant to cause conversation,
Kevin Hart's Rose has been doing just that.
Now, I do know that Shane Gillis responded to TMZ's article about Chelsea Handler.
He didn't really say much.
He basically just said that this is like her moment, Chelsea Handler,
and happy that she's taking.
He said, this is a big moment for Chelsea.
I'm glad she's capitalizing.
Good for her.
We're all rooting for her.
Anyway, come see me.
I mean, talked about a show that he asks coming up in Philly.
But, yeah.
Now, moving on yesterday.
the Sykes posted a video still in relation to the Kevin Hart Rose and people thought that she was going to be actually getting into her review of the Rose.
She did not do that whatsoever. She actually announced yesterday and we want to give her some love on this because she came here to talk about that her legacy special is number five on Netflix.
So it's within the top 10 TV shows in the U.S. today.
So I want to do congratulations, Wanda.
Congratulate Wanda Sykes on that.
Drop one of Clues Bonds from Wanda Sykes.
Yes.
I meant to watch that. I saw it, but I didn't get, I got so much stuff I'm watching.
I am going to watch that this weekend.
And she came up here to promote it as well too.
So we talked to her in depth about that.
Yeah.
So yeah, congratulations to her.
Now, shifting gears a bit.
Yesterday, there was an interview that was circulating.
So Snooky.
You guys know Snooky from Jersey Short.
Speaking of TV shows.
So Snooky's been doing a lot of press recently talking about a ton of different things.
But yesterday she sat down on the podcast and she talked about a moment with Wendy Williams in pregnancy.
Let's take a listen.
What is it like getting called out by Wendy Williams?
She was wild
She was intimidating for sure
She made you drink when you're pregnant
She made you drink
Well she was secretly pregnant
Well she heard there was a rumor that I was pregnant
So she made you
She brought out beer for me and Jenny
And she goes well let's see if you're pregnant
Like so crazy
And I was like
You saw her in Target
She week later and you shunned her
Yeah
She didn't make you drink
That's a crazy headline
Yeah that is wild for him to see that
She bought the beer out to see if she would drink
Right
Correct
To prove she was pregnant
Yeah there's a different thing
I made you drink.
No, she didn't make you drink.
She wanted to see if he was.
Did she drink?
Yeah, so she says that she actually didn't really drink.
Like she cheated the drink.
Like, and when you watch it, I could only find a small clip.
I'm checking right now to see if we have it.
You can't really even hear the full thing because it was from so many years ago.
I tried to find it in full.
But she liked drinks and you can't tell whether she actually swallows it or not.
And she says that she cheated the situation.
She didn't actually drink.
She made it appear like she did because she knew what Wendy was trying to do.
What is radio or TV?
It was on TV.
It was on Wendy Williams Show.
Yeah, she said she was pregnant at the time.
So, yeah.
But they were talking about a ton of different things throughout her career.
And Wendy and Snooky, you know, they've had some big viral moments, not even including
this one.
So that's, I actually think that's some good content right there.
I mean, maybe that's just the content person to me.
But I'm like, oh, you think a person's pregnant?
So you bring out a couple of drinks?
Right.
To see who do what?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the person is crazy enough to hide, like, go to that extent to hide their pregnancy,
that they go and drink.
Because it's not like you know if she's pregnant or not.
It's just a rumor that you heard.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with it.
But don't listen to us, guys.
But that would be on the purse.
That would be on the person.
Right, yeah.
If you drink, yeah.
If you drink, exactly.
Don't listen to me.
That's my OG.
So I just, that sound like some good radio or good TV to me.
All right.
I just said like the headline, Wendy Forster.
That's so wild.
That was crazy.
That's wild.
Well, yeah.
Shout out to Snicky.
Yes, that was my girl, y'all.
Uh-huh.
A lot of people was.
Yeah, so that's the latest for the hour.
And in the next latest, we're going to talk about another film moment that's about to happen because Quinta Brunton just made a big announcement about something she's bringing to movie theaters.
And there's already a debate about if we need it or not.
All right.
We'll get to that next.
All right.
We got front page news coming up.
And then Tiffany Hatter should be here.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Just hilarious.
Salameen Nagai.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get back in some front page news.
Now in NBA, I, Oklahoma City beat the Spurs, 122, 1113, 18.
tied the series 1-1. Did you watch the game last night, Shala?
I did watch a little bit of it. I went to go see Obsession last night in the movies,
and I came home, and I think I watched like the third quarter. And I watched the first
of the M.J. Doc, so I watched a little bit of it. How was the M.J. Doc?
I want to finish it first before I critique it.
Okay. It's two more episodes. Three episodes. I only saw episode one.
Now I'm going to watch it this weekend. And Aaron Rogers said he's going to retire after the
2026 NFL season. Well, you can't watch this weekend. Don't come out to the fifth.
Oh, how you got it?
I'm me.
I'm a word.
You don't want to share?
You don't want to share?
I can't share.
It's got my email on it.
It's watermarked.
This guy right here.
I thought it was out.
How are you going to watch it?
I'm like, it's not up.
No.
Can't get it to the fence.
This ass.
Good morning, Mimi.
Good morning, Evie.
Jeff, Jelleman.
How y'allelamine?
How are you, Mimi?
Guys are a jerk this morning.
Actually, June 3rd.
June 3rd.
You guys are killing me this morning.
So this morning, we start this morning.
hour with former First Lady Michelle Obama with an interview that is making its rounds on the
internet. In this clip, she is warning Democrats not to automatically label Trump supporters or
voters as racist or extreme. So during an interview with the podcast, Talk Easy with Sam Forgoso,
Michelle Obama said a lot of Americans who voted for Trump were driven more by frustration
and economic pain than politics. Mrs. Obama says she was deeply disappointed by both of Trump's
wind, but she says she understands why some voters, including people who voted for President Obama twice, later voted for Trump. Let's listen. They voted for Donald Trump. Yeah. You know? It's a lot of people. So you can't just
pigeonhole them and say you just don't care and you're racist or whatever you're thinking. This is an act of, I don't know what else to do. I just wish we had more leaders that were figuring out how to do more for the middle class.
for the working folks because those are the folks who are drowning in this economy.
It's not me anymore, but I know those folks.
And they're good people and they don't have a way out.
And that makes for bad choices.
I mean, it's a combination of both for sure, right?
Like you have people who just were desperate and wanted something different, you know.
They felt like Donald Trump could change their economic situation.
But then you have some people who just voted for straight up racism.
And you can call that what it is.
I think it's definitely a combination of both.
Two things can be true at one.
Absolutely.
Very much.
Yeah.
Yep.
She said that some of the voters,
the decision was less about politics,
but more about their frustration and their exhaustion
and the direction that their lives were going.
And she warned Democrats not to shame them or dismiss them,
and you might want to address how they're feeling
so that you don't lose them in the upcoming election.
So that was the gist of that.
I don't know if that's the thing for the third time, though.
I think the first couple of times you probably could say that, but not the third time.
The third time, it was pretty clear what it is he was going to do.
You know, I mean, they laid it out quite plain in Project 2025.
So my thing is, if you cared about democracy in any way, shape, or form, you would have
took him serious.
But we also got to remember there was a huge, huge, huge disinformation campaign.
Big Siamab that he played on the American people, because he's,
is the world's greatest comment.
Yeah, he fooled people into thinking he cared.
He cared about their groceries. He cared about, you know, what they were going through,
their kitchen table things.
But, you know, as we see right now with that $1.8 billion fund, you know, it's a whole
different story that taxpayers are funding.
And lastly, to a story for anyone traveling this Memorial Day weekend, especially if
you're flying and flying with medical marijuana.
So the TSA, they have quietly updated its guidance on cannabis at the airport at their security
checkpoints. So the agency now says medical marijuana may be allowed in your carry on and in your
check bag under certain conditions. So TSA, they removed older language from its website that
specifically highlighted marijuana as an illegal drug under federal law. But before anyone gets
excited, there is a catch. Now TSA says its officers are focused on security threats, not actively
searching for drugs. But if marijuana is found during the screening, agents can still refer the
situation to local law enforcement.
And you have to remember that
major airlines like Delta, American
United and Southwest, they still prohibit
marijuana on their flights.
So if you're flying this holiday weekend or over the
summer, you have to understand that
the rules around traveling with marijuana,
they may be different. They sound a little
tricky, but they're not
necessarily easier. So you can
take it at your own risk,
basically, is what they're saying. Okay, thank you.
You are welcome, Jess, just in case.
So, you know.
Just is like I've been traveling with it for a long.
There's nothing going to stop me.
Like, what's wrong with you?
Nothing's going to change.
I mean, there's not too many places you can't fly nowadays
and not get some legal marijuana when you land,
but the most part.
But they're saying, too, that states,
you know, different states have different rules.
And so you can take it to some place.
You can come to California and then you can go to Montana
and then be in trouble.
Oh, yeah, as I said, you've got to know where you're going.
That's all.
Yeah.
Definitely got to know you're going.
I'm talking about when you land.
When you land, you know, there's a lot of places that got dispensaries now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
recreational dispensers.
And don't take it out. If you're going to leave in the country,
don't do it. Just don't do it. It's not worth it.
You don't know the laws. You don't know the regulations. Do not do it.
Absolutely. Good advice.
All right, y'all, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown.
Follow me at Mimi Brown TV.
And for more stories, follow the Black Information Network.
Thank you, Mimi.
Thank you.
Now, when we come back, Tiffany Haddish will be joining us.
She is the first comedian ever to be on the cover of a Sports Illustrator
swimsuit issue.
And we're going to talk to her next.
So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Morning.
Morning, everybody is DJ Envy.
Just Alarious.
Charlamagne de Guy.
We are the breakfast club.
Lawlerosa is here as well.
Yes, indeed.
We got a special guest in the building.
Absolutely.
She walked in here like she could body slam all of us this morning.
She could.
You know what she's from?
Ladies and gentlemen, Tiffany Adis.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning, Tim.
Congratulations.
She also bought the cover.
I should say Sports Illustrated magazine with her on the cover.
Yes.
Me.
Which is pretty, pretty goddamn dope.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
First comedian ever to do so.
Yes, ma'am.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
meeting ever, yeah. You next.
Thank you, baby. You next. Thank you. I smell it up there. Yeah, get it.
And that what she want, though, because you've been manifesting it, Tim.
Yeah, I've been wanting, I've been wanting this since the 1900s.
Wow. When I used to run track and field, I wanted to be in Sports Illustrated for
track and field. I thought I was going to be, I thought I would be Flojo, like, yes, I'm going
to be just like her and I'm going to be in Olympics, but then that didn't pan out.
But the dream never went away. The dream never went away, so.
So what did being on the cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue mean?
For Tiffany Haddish the woman, not the celebrity, but you, the woman.
That I can do anything if I believe in it.
If I believe enough, anything is possible, no matter what people say, how fat I might be or whatever I might be,
if I believe in it and I'm willing to take action every single day towards the thing I believe in,
I'm going to get it.
That's why I'm here now.
What did it take to get to that level?
Because, I mean, you're cut up crazy.
We're looking at the cover right now.
Yes, yeah.
What was the training like?
I don't like something where you said cut up.
I don't like where you said cut up like that.
She's cut up.
She's talking about it.
You're talking about it.
You're talking about it.
You cut up crazy.
And when she walked in you like, damn.
Like I've been, I'm going to get to that body.
I wish.
I'm talking about the workout.
That's a lot to get to that body.
That body would be a lot thicker, a lot bigger.
Eating right.
It'd be a lot more going on with it.
Double workouts?
So what are you doing to get to that?
Look, I don't like going to the gym personally.
I kind of hate it.
So, like, I'm very, like, particular.
So, intermittent fasting, whenever, and also whenever I feel like I'm hungry, like, oh, I'm going to eat something, drink water, wait 20 minutes.
If I'm still hungry after that, then I need to actually eat a meal, not just be eating on crap.
Now, the fasting, is that 12 to 8 fast?
What's the time is the fashion?
Basically, I don't eat until like 12 o'clock in the afternoon, 12 to 1 o'clock, and then stop eating around 9, 10 o'clock at night.
And then, yeah, get my body a chance to, like, process everything and give a little time between each meal, too.
drink my weight in water
so however much I weigh
for every pound I weigh
an ounce of water for every pound
every time I go to the bathroom
because I drink my weight in water
I got to use the bathroom a lot
so 25 squats every time I
go to the toilet basically every single
time so I come out the bathroom heavy breathing
but that you go to the bathroom then you do squats
on the side do squats right off the toilet
because the toilet is usually the perfect height
for a squat right
and as soon as your thighs hit that
see, boom, pop back up, right?
So you hit that 25 times.
Way easier in high heels than it is in flash.
Way easier to do in the middle
of the day than it is first thing in the morning.
But if you do it first thing in the morning, it activates
everything, and your thighs is like your second heart, right?
And then when you do it in hills, you strengthen the calf muscle.
Baby, and the toes getting strong.
Halal.
Halal.
And then once a week, I'll go to this thing
called the perfect workout where you do lift heavy weights
in slow motion and I found it on Groupon
and it's crazy because it's mostly
I found it on Groupon and it's mostly elderly people in there
so then then I'm like talking to them
every now and then getting advice getting knowledge
so it's like now my brain growing
because I'm learning from my elders right
and then once a week I'll do Pure Bar
which is like you know like Pilates and
Ballet mixed together so you work out once a week
heavy race that's it? Yeah once a week heavyways
but every day
I wear my weighted vest which is 20
pounds. So when I walked my dog,
I was wearing the weighted vest. When I
was washing my dishes, mopping my floors,
cleaning house, I wear my weighted vest.
When I'm gardening, I wear my weighted vest.
And that's it. How much do you have to lose?
How much did I have to lose?
Yeah, for the cover.
I was like 1.45 right there.
Okay, okay. Yeah.
Earlier, did you say people were saying you were fat?
Did you say that? Yeah, yeah. They were saying I'm fat,
pregnant, all that kind of shit. You know,
a few years ago.
Hmm.
I think, I feel like,
you can Google that.
They were trying to call me pregnant and all of that.
I got one more question before you doing this workout.
And what did you eat?
What were your meals like?
Oh, my meals.
Okay, so basically try to eat meat once a day and then like a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit.
Shut up.
What is your problem?
You got to eat meat, so you're looking at me.
Yeah, you do.
You need your protein.
But you can get that through beans and all that too.
And then I would eat a lot out of my garden.
So like off my own land, which.
give me like a little sense of pride.
Yeah.
That like, and I will always feel good full.
Like I'll break my fast by eating berries from my backyard.
And I feel like, yeah, then my berries.
They're my thing.
You know, like, these my berries, you know, just feeling good about that.
So also making sure you have like a feeling, a sense of like joy every day.
It really helps a lot.
Being stressed out every day really adds the LBs and really like messes your skin up,
message your, but it mess your body of that too much cortisol.
So just soon as I feel my stress levels going up,
I'm gonna try to make sure I laugh or do something that make me feel good,
even if it's just like just walking around barefoot in the backyard
or going to mess with my bees or something like that.
Like just being in the sun, just change it up.
I see you going.
I love that.
I also got a gang of shit.
Your aura is bright.
I really, you can see my aura because that might be the shade butter reflecting off of this beautiful brown skin.
Nah, that's the shape butter.
The only pregnancy rumors I remember was when you and Jason Lee did that photo thing
and people thought that was like a thing, but.
No, before that, no, before that, like, in the, like, 2017, when was Cardi B pregnant?
Because they was trying to say I was pregnant, too.
She didn't have been pregnant with three months ago.
Shut up, a lot of the gang of times.
I feel like every time she's pregnant, they'd be trying to say I'm pregnant.
But, no, yeah, a while ago.
But also, in 2019, also when I was in that relationship, they was trying to say I was pregnant then, all of that.
Yeah.
In the last relationship I was in, his mom was trying to tell me I was pregnant.
I was like, girl, you got me messed up.
I would never not not with your son
but anyway
the mama said that
maybe she was trying to manifest something
maybe maybe maybe
this was another relationship
after the other relationship
yeah I've had many girl please
that was four years ago
I know that's right
that's four years ago I'm a beautiful woman
I don't know if you know this I'm a swimsuit model
no I know you're talking
a swimming suit model like that
you just been keeping things real low key
a low key
girl I've been dating the same way
I've been dating for the last like I've been dating for
what, 25 years, 30 years?
Yeah, so I'm date the same way.
Just, it ain't everybody
business.
I'm dating everybody like their drug dealers.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody like their drug dealers.
I learned my lesson from that last one.
Don't tell nobody nothing.
Just date everybody like their drug dealers.
He might be here today.
He might be gone tomorrow.
Everybody like that selling dope.
Yeah.
For a good time, not a long time.
How did it feel when you first saw the cover?
I was, it felt like such an honor.
I felt like, first of all,
I feel like I looked like my grandma.
and my grandma was a model back in the
1950s. She was one of the first black
women in the state of California to be on TV
modeling clothes and swimsuits and all of that. And I remember she used to
teach us. I always be showing us how to pose
and how to sit like a lady and how to
all the little model stuff. But as I
you know my sisters and brothers got taller than me
she's like oh you're not going to be a model. You didn't get tall
enough. It's not going to work out for you. There's other things you can do.
And she was right. But I always wanted to be
like her. I always want to be beautiful like her and be a model like her.
And, you know, you're the funny girl. They always say, oh, pretty girls can't be funny.
Ain't no way you could be a model. Only the kind of model you could be as a, you know, sex model.
You could be on some kind of porn or something like that, but you can't be no model model.
And these last, I would say, three years, I've been literally manifesting hardcore.
I mean, I popped up in that fashion show. Kathy Hilton knew that this is something I wanted to do.
She knew that my grandmother was a model
She knew all these things
So she's like just do it
Just start moving towards it
Like jump up in the show
And you know
Black community
Ah she bringing disgrace tests
Whatever I'm living my dream
Okay
That same company that I jumped up in their show
They hired me their next fashion show
To actually walk in the show
Nobody talked about that
Nobody talked about me getting hired
To walk in the show
Yeah they hired me
Yeah Maisei hired me
And then they gave me a bunch of clothes
To wear for my whole comedy tour
And so I was wearing elegant dresses
The whole damn tour
You know, it was Oscar de Laurenti
and Monsei was dressing me.
The whole tour.
We saw the dresses, remember, but we didn't know where they were from.
That's what's up, y'all.
So they were dressing me.
So then that felt really good.
And then it was like, if I could do that,
then I definitely could do the swimsuit model thing.
And I did it.
So why you ain't going to do that the roads?
I wanted you to get up there.
I knew you was going to give them about a hundred.
Girl, because I'm a model now.
I'm a sports illustrated cover model.
My job is a mom.
model is to be pretty and don't talk.
But you were a comedian.
You were saying.
There was a lot of
comedians on stage that didn't talk.
But Krischer was sitting right
there. Nobody said, man.
I didn't even know he was there.
He was there.
Duane Martin was sitting there.
He wouldn't say nothing. See, what had happened was
there are some people that got to
present, that got to roast, that didn't
want to be roasted.
Yeah. And so some of us had to be
glorified sea fillers. I'm just
was being a pretty model
I was modeling guys
and I had to pee really bad
and I don't know about you
when you have to pee
it's hard to hear
and it was long
it was too long
it was definitely long
too long
I got up in the middle
of Kevin
and went to go to the bathroom
I couldn't hold it no more
I couldn't hear nothing
except for the part
when I saw the rock
tap his leg
I almost ran over there
and when it sat on this
the fucking leg
I'm like I sit on this
I saw when the rock came out
the way you was looking at him
you was like damn
that's the first time
No, I've just been
DTF for a long time
I've been trying since he's been
a wrestler since he had a hair line
You know, I've been trying to get at that
I remember I ran into him one time at the doctor's
office he was there with his baby mama
They was getting you know like ultrasound
Whatever and I had ran into them and I was like
How can I steal him from her right now?
There ain't no way to steal that man
I didn't steal him I wanted to
He's part of my dreams
He's in my spank thing
So you manifesting him too?
Maybe.
Maybe I can make his hair grow back if he let me sit on top of his head.
Oh, my shit.
I've been known to grow men's hair back.
What was that cream you used?
What was it?
You had some concoction.
Oh, I gave you the monostat mixed with the coconut orange.
The dry.
That was working.
It was working.
It takes time.
It was during COVID, though.
So, you know, everybody held growing back.
I'm like, damn, I got a boss.
Hey, yo.
Did it work?
I don't remember.
I tried it for a little bit, but I didn't try it long enough.
You didn't try it long enough.
It works.
It works.
I've seen a lot of bitches edges come back.
Damn.
Monastead and coconut oil.
Monastat and a hobo oil.
Mix that together and then put it just like, just put it on your edges.
Daily?
Daily.
Before you go to bed at night.
Just let me know how that go.
I got you.
You got that.
You got that.
I know, but I want some more.
Man, you can mix it with castor oil, too.
That's really.
Yeah.
snap it in.
So were you even scheduled the performance at the rose at all?
No.
I was actually scheduled to sit in the audience.
I just wanted to sit in the audience and watch.
Look, that's why I was dressed the way I was dressed.
That sounds like it was cute.
Right.
But it was like, you know, audience attire.
No, you looked good.
You looked fly to me.
You looked at fly.
I thought you was going to come up on the stage.
So how did you end up on stage?
So the people that didn't want to be roasted,
but they wanted to roast Kevin,
but they didn't want to be roasted.
They didn't sit down, right?
And so they left.
And so they needed people to fill in those seats.
So they asked me, and I'm like, yeah, I'm going to support Kevin 110% no matter what.
So even if it's just me sitting in the background and not saying nothing, I'm cool with that.
I've been an extra before.
I'm not to do that.
But everybody knows how close you went cab all, so they just expect it all clearly.
I don't know if we're that close anymore.
I don't, the number changed or something.
Dang.
Yeah.
You can see a number.
I just seen a number.
I just seen them, but there is the phone don't work.
Don't work.
I remember, don't work.
Hey, I said, I hope you doing all right, you know what I'm saying?
And you're calling, and the shit was green.
Then I called it when they was like,
I was like, yeah, okay.
After the roast, you called?
Oh, because all of the conversations.
Yeah, I just want to say, you encourage him,
make sure he's doing okay, because I think,
I don't know if people realize, like,
a roast is designed to, like, demolish somebody,
but they're supposed to be raising money for charity.
Usually that's what roast was about.
Like, you raise the money for some sort of charity,
and then like you're going to get your feelings hurt
and it's going to be a lot of mean things said
and done but that's the way to roast go
but we're doing it for a good cause
and I get I don't know what the good cause
was on this one
because
cause Netflix needed more money
because whatever I don't know what the cause was
but I just wanted to make sure
he was okay because I've seen people come out of those
rows and be devastating
and so just
just to be you know hey I got your back
bro if you need somebody cry to you want me to call
the gun
on somebody I got you.
We can send goons to Texas.
No problem.
I got him there.
I think Cap would be a right.
He'll be coming up here this week actually.
He'll be fine.
He's fine. He's fine.
Yeah.
It's like the number one show on Netflix right now.
So he's fine.
He's just fine.

Did you in Kat speak?
Because I know Kat had some things to say about you.
Did you see him that later?
He didn't say nothing about me at the thing.
No, not at the roast.
I'm just talking about previous.
In the past?
No, we didn't speak at that thing.
but I've talked to them a multitude of time.
We talk on the phone.
We cool.
We're cool.
You know, I'll be talking crazy sometimes, but we're cool.
I don't even say nothing that crazy.
I don't say that crazy.
You don't say, he'd be saying crazy.
Yeah, we're good.
Yeah, we're cool.
Did any of the comedians who didn't get invited give you a call after the video with TMZ?
Again, they was like, you don't have to answer everything.
You don't have to respond to every question that's asked.
and I'm like, well, what was that?
So, TMZ had caught her out in New York
and they asked her about the Tony Hitchcliff George Floyd joke
and she said, I didn't even hear it.
I didn't hear the joke.
And then she's like, but Lonnie Love was mad or whatever.
And then I was like, well, I didn't know what to say.
So I just said.
Lonnie was there?
Oh, no, like she just saw it.
They tell her that she was there.
She said there's a lot of people, like Lonnie Love,
a lot of people, comedians that are upset about that joke.
And then I didn't know what to say to that, except for, you said, talking about a bunch of comedians that wasn't invited.
That weren't invited.
Oh, so maybe they're jealous.
I don't know.
I turned around and walked away.
Because I didn't know how to respond to that.
I don't, I didn't even go back, play back and watch it.
I stay off my social media because, you know, I think that's where the devil lives.
And I'm not fin of going to visit the devil house.
And I know that people eat off of me.
they, you know, I'm bearing fruit clearly.
And so they use my name.
And then I'm going to see that.
And then what?
Then I'm going to want to show up to their house and whoop they ask.
And I can't do that anymore.
I'm a model.
Like, you can't.
I'm a model.
I can't do that.
How Tiffany Haddish got viral TikTok content about her from the rose.
And she didn't even say nothing after that.
Now, one thing, which tells you that I'm the, I'm popping.
Clearly.
They like me.
They really like me.
Has success been everything you thought it was going to be?
No.
Success is definitely not what I thought.
I thought success was going to be like so much easier and like super relaxed and super
chill and like I'm getting spoiled every day.
But it's not, it's not that.
Success is work.
It's weightlifting.
It's, it's wearing a weighted vest at all times.
And it's like a hundred pound weight of vest.
It's heavy.
You got to be strong to carry success.
Everybody ain't built for it.
That's why people fall off.
That's why people disappear.
They end up in rehabs.
They end up just strung out, f***ed up in bad situations because success is
heavy. Everybody ain't built
for it. And you have to train for it.
If it comes overnight, it will
fall off overnight.
But if it comes over a long period of time,
just like a good football team
or great track runners, like if you
do to work and build your body up to handle
it, you'll be able to carry it forever.
How has your sobriety journey
help you deal with all of that?
You know what? Being sober,
like, okay, so I'm California sober.
So what does that mean? California sober.
You know what that means, girl. You know
that thing.
Oh, weed.
You know, yeah, I own a marijuana line.
I drink my weed, eat my weed, and smoke my weed.
But no alcohol has really changed the game.
First of all, super easy for the weight to come off.
And I can hear now.
I can hear a lot of things now.
Things I didn't notice before, people's true intentions.
You can see what they're really doing.
I can see so much better now because I think alcohol makes you deaf,
It makes you blind.
It makes it hard for you to communicate.
It makes it hard for you to be present.
And without drinking any alcohol, I'm seeing, like, I can see people's hearts.
I can see your soul.
I know who really hate me inside, but they want to eat.
And I'm okay with them eating.
I'm okay.
But I can see the intention.
I can hear it.
I'm paying attention.
I pick up the little nuances of things.
And I know how to move in a space.
And I'm just, like, really grateful and really kind of disappointed myself forever,
starting to drink in the first place.
You know, even though I didn't like,
when I drank, I drank, but I didn't drink
every day, but when I did drink, I did drink
and it made me wake up next
to ugly people and I have now woken up next to
nobody ugly in four years.
It's been really great.
It's been an awesome experience to be like,
oh, I'm laying down with this person
because I want to lay down with this
person. I want to be with this man.
Not because it's like, oh, he got me.
Oh, yeah. It's because I want to.
When you talk about your choice to be sober, I know you did that back when all of the like DUI stuff was happening, right?
And I know that your team recently filed for that to be dismissed because four years later, you're still going through that trial for that case.
I want a trial.
I've been begging for a trial.
I don't bought all these plane tickets flying down to Georgia.
Georgia has become like a place I kind of hate now.
And I used to love it.
But now I kind of like, because the way they do their laws is ridiculous to me.
And I keep flying down there, keep showing up to the courtroom.
And then they just, oh, we're going to postpone.
it to another day, postpone, postpone, postpone.
Well, you wasting my money. You wasting my time. These lawyers is getting to eat like crazy,
which is fine, I guess. But like, and then, you know, the judge is like running for office again
and try to get, you know, they're like, I just feel some type of way about it. I'm like,
I have never in my career being arrested and I've been arrested a lot of times,
had to wait four years for a trial. And it's a misdemeanor, right? Yeah. Why do you want to go to
travel a misdemeanor. Because really I want
that shit to be gone because it don't make no
sense. I was in my driveway walking into my
house. Oh, I didn't know that. Okay.
I was walking into my house, bro. So like,
really? Yeah. And then on that
same, I would, if they released the video, y'all
see. Because on the same video at the top
of the video, they let some white men park his car in a thing
and take an Uber home.
But you want to arrest? I'm at my
house. So who called? Somebody called
the police on you? Yeah, they called the police.
I mean, because I was on the side of the road.
I was crying and shit on the side of the road.
That's normal for you.
That ain't normal for me.
That is normal for me.
And I might have took a nap.
That is normal to me.
The way it was reported, it was like way different than...
They said I was at the light.
I wasn't at the light.
I wasn't at the light.
I was on the side of the road.
And a man came up, a man did come up to my window.
Say, you ain't supposed to be in these parts.
What are you doing over here?
You best get up out of here.
And I was like, shit.
I was just crying like, and I took off.
You ain't put into my driveway.
I'm walking in the house with my little white dog
They let me walk the dog
They walked the dog with me
One of them picked up the dog poop
They put it in the trash and everything
They let me in the house
Put food and water in the dog's bowl
And stuff and put the dog in the house
And then they handcuff me and took me to jail
Wow
Why he made the guy sound like a slave
He said you best get out of here
He did sound like slave
It's Georgia girl
Yeah
He sounded like that
You best get up out of here
So what he was doing over there then
I don't know, girl
I don't know, he pulled up
jumped out of his car
and said I'm best getting up
I thought he was walking
I saw your team say
you're losing money from jobs though
because of this case
Yeah I don't know why they said that
because I don't think that's the truth
I think they said that
because I will postpone the job
I will not work a day to fly
all the way to Georgia
to show up for my case
and then the case isn't being heard
it's being postponed
to the next to the next
so that's that is hurt in my pockets
flying, I keep on flying out here.
I don't make best friends with all the flight attendants on Delta.
We'd be kicking it.
Like, they're my favorite.
But at the same time, this is like a waste of time.
Like, let's get it over with already.
Can I tell you a secret?
It's not a secret.
How long are they going to get you in no trouble?
I don't know if it's going to get me in trouble.
But maybe it might.
I don't know.
But I've been working with the DA's office in California and Los Angeles.
And we're getting ready to come up with a whole campaign on the benefits
of not drinking.
Because, like, if you think about, if you really think about, like, all these cases that are in
court, every time you've ever, like, had an issue in life or a problem with somebody, alcohol
is nine times out of ten involved.
If you're, maybe you're the one drinking, maybe you're not.
Maybe it's the other person that's drinking.
But usually it's alcohol involved in a lot of those cases that they have.
Not even, it don't even be, like, D.Y, be, like, domestic violence.
It'd be child abuse.
It'd be theft.
It'd be whatever.
Alcohol is usually involved in it.
So, like, we're getting ready to do, like, a whole campaign together.
and like, you know, just bring that awareness
because I don't think people notice it.
They think like, oh, we drinking and celebrating.
We celebrate, but what does that lead to?
Or when you say, like, when you try to get through something too,
like you.
Yeah, dream.
You try to get through it.
Yeah, which I've done.
I mean, you were crying in the car.
Yeah, I was crying.
I was trying to get through it.
Yeah, yeah.
But you know what?
If I smoke weed and I'm saying,
hey, baby, I'll be feeling much better.
And don't be having no problem.
I'm trying to follow that.
And don't be having, no problems
communicating and no problem is going right to bed.
that when you get home.
Right to sleep.
Right to sleep.
And I'm aware as hell.
I'm paranoid a little bit, so I'm looking at it.
Yeah.
When you look at your career now, do you feel misunderstood,
underestimated, are exactly where you're supposed to?
Well, in my heart, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
But if I turn around and sit back from where the world is looking,
I think I'm underestimated.
They don't know what they're dealing with.
It's okay.
I'm going to show you.
Good.
I feel like the best is yet to come, Tiff.
Oh, yeah.
It's coming.
Word.
She's coming through.
Absolutely.
You're going to get on the train, you're going to work with me?
What you mean?
You already know that for a life.
You're talking about it.
Can you start rapping?
Last time you came up and she did the rap album, right?
Yeah, I got it like, I'm about to drop a whole album.
A new one.
A whole situation.
Okay.
Yeah, I got a, I just shot a music video with Jayda Kiss.
I didn't like the video that much.
I feel like it was too many ugly people in it.
Damn.
But, I mean, if they moved a camera, just right, you put the little CGI on in here.
Yeah.
Watch your mouth.
Watch your mouth.
Oh my God.
That's not ugly.
It's just a roughness.
It's like a lot.
Yeah.
We gotta put what that up?
Are we paying these people?
They all just came in on the street.
They just came in off the street.
You know.
No, no.
No, no.
No, you already said that.
You already said they were like me.
The term I use is hard knock lifers.
They look like this.
They look like they live the hard-knocked.
They all look like they're all.
they've been through a lot.
That's what they've been through a lot.
Is it, is that why?
No, it's not.
That's not why.
That's not why.
It's like they've been through a lot.
People been,
people be living in New York, okay?
This ain't no easy city to live in.
Envy got the music,
I'm going to say some of the indie old music video.
You're talking about struggle faces, boy.
I mean, look, I was talking to this.
I was not a video victim.
Oh my God, though.
I was talking to this rapper that's from here.
And he was like,
let me,
I want to share my video.
which maybe you could post me. He sent me the videos. I said,
ain't no way in hell I'm putting this on my face.
Don't you get these
people from. And then
he was like, Tiff, it's hard out here. It ain't like
California. I said, damn, this is ridiculous.
And then I'm like, I'm finished you. Wait until I
shoot my video. Then I shot my video.
I said, oh, you're right. It is not like it is
in California. All right.

What's the news?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts.
We're starting a trend.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early
names of our band before Jonas Brothers
was...
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad,
Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.

On the breakfast
club. LL.Cube. Talk to me.
So yesterday, guys, it was announced that
Quinta Brunson will be will develop and star as Betty Boop in a new Betty Boop feature film.
Oh, that is so perfect for her.
Yes.
As soon as I started at an announcement, I'm like, man, she looks just like that.
Yes, like her.
Now I can see it.
Yep.
And, you know, a lot of us have been following Quinta from the Internet days to her successful career at BuzzFeed to all of the success with Abbott Elementary.
And now she is here working on his feature film.
So her production company, Fifth Chance Productions, will partner with Mark Fleischer,
who is the grandson of Betty Boat.
Boop's creator Max Fleischer.
And the film will trace the origin and evolution of Betty Boop through the perspective
of her creator, Max, and the relationship that he had with the character of how he
tried to navigate the commercial success that eventually came.
And how it grew into one of the world's most impactful animated icons.
Now, what I am very interested in here is to see how and if Quinta Brunton goes into
the fact that Betty Boop was actually inspired by a black woman.
So her name is Esther Jones, the black woman.
They used to call her baby Esther.
So she used to be, you know, out here all up in the Cotton Club in Harlem.
She was a jazz singer.
Jazz singer doing something called the Baby Skat.
Now, she didn't originate the scat, but the baby scat is accredited to her,
which is when you hear Betty Boop do the Boop.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Ooh, addu.
Yes.
That is from Esther Jones.
And, yes, I'm excited to see how Quinta, like, what her take on the origin story will be.
Me too.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Because I know people see it, and like you said, they think Betty Boop is a white character,
but it was inspired by, you know, after Jones, who was a black woman.
So, yeah, I'm interested to see how Quintas spends that as well.
And I actually learned that as a little girl in middle, well, yeah, elementary in middle school,
that she was inspired.
The character, Betty Boot was inspired by a black woman.
Yes, well, congratulations to Quinta Brunson.
Yeah.
Now, in other news and new announcements, yesterday, Netflix announced a Michael Jackson documentary that they will be doing
that will be stepping inside of Michael Jackson's courtroom that the public never saw.
Let's take a listen to the trailer that Netflix dropped yesterday.
Police right now searching Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch.
This is part of an ongoing investigation.
He's the most famous man in the world being accused of the most heinous crime in the world.
The arrest warrant for Mr. Jackson has been issued on multiple counts through child molestation.
Michael Jackson's trial has finally begun.
We believed he was a criminal and he was able to get away with it.
because of his fame and celebrity.
This was a man who was unique in his talent, skill, and accomplishment, and unique in his victimization of children.
I believe Michael was innocent, and we were going to prove it.
Is he guilty or is he not guilty?
Finally, we're going to get some answers.
Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court.
That is Michael Jackson that you hear at the end.
The real Michael Jackson.
No, the real Michael Jackson.
So this series that they're doing
It's going to air on June 3rd
It's called Michael Jackson the verdict
And it's going to revisit the case
That became one of the most closely watched legal
sagas of all time
Now I know that we were talking about this before
And we talked about the fact that you know
Charleston you mentioned that a documentary should be the next step
And it seems like Netflix is
He got it, he was watching it
I want a documentary that
You know proves his innocence
That shows you why he was innocent
That shows you how he was investigated
You know for 17 years
and they didn't find anything by the FBI.
Like, that's what I want.
I saw the first episode yesterday, though.
I haven't seen it, but I do think it's whack.
I think it's horrible.
Thank you.
The fact they put a documentary out, what,
two, three weeks out before the movie came out
that the family did the movie
and everybody's celebrating his life
and in love and playing music and this day and ever.
Now I feel like the negativity comes.
I think that's whack.
But you don't know what the doctor's about.
I know what it's about.
You just tell me what's about.
I ain't tell you nothing.
We just played a trail of what it's about.
It's about him.
I don't care if I seen them or not.
I don't.
You think that it shouldn't be that stuff
It shouldn't be that close to
We just celebrated Michael Jackson
We just all wore the gloves and the outfits to go with
That's how he contradicts himself
How do I contradict myself?
Because this is why I said there shouldn't be a sequel
Because if you do a sequel
You have to talk about these things
And I don't think
You should because it's dark
Those allegations, that wasn't a good time in his life
Right, but I would have to be a sequel
Come from the family estate
That would no more than anybody else
The joy you felt in the first movie
you will not feel if they did a second movie
because you have to go down this dark
they have to go down that but there's still episode
and things that we didn't get to whether it's
the Super Bowl it's the do you remember
the time and all that's not what they want
the second movie for they want the second movie
for the salaciousness and there's still
a lot of stuff that of his life that he didn't
touch him buying the you know
the catalogs of artists and all like that
there all that's in there too but
I think it's too soon that
the Michael movie just came out that was done by
the family that he celebrated and people
celebrating his life
and now two, three weeks later
you just don't win all that
mess and all the ish
I think that's fine.
I'll tell you how I feel
after I finished the last two episodes.
Gotcha.
It's three episodes.
I watched the first one last night.
After I watched the next two,
I'll tell you how I feel
about after watching the first one.
I'll tell you how I feel after I watched the last two.
But just know that this trial
he was found not guilty
of everything.
Yeah, he was a...
Literally found not guilty.
On all counts.
And he had like, what,
nine counts or something crazy like that?
No, I think more, like 14 counts or something.
He got found not guilty on
all 14 counts.
I just feel like this was,
they put this out to kind of pick up some of the steam
from the Michael movie.
That's how I feel like.
And I think that's,
I actually think it,
well,
I think it would be a good time to do it
because the movie just came out.
It's all this conversation around him
and you saw all of the negative press
that people tried to write
about him around this movie.
So if you put this out and show
that he got found not guilty
on all 14 counts.
Yeah, but that negative press
didn't do anything to the movie
because the movie's still one of the biggest movies
documentaries or biopics ever
I don't know what you're saying
You think you would rather
Be in the second part of the movie
You know a second movie
Because it's told from the family's perspective
Who have more insight than anybody
I would think
Well I think
One of the things that we'll have to see here
Is how Netflix kind of does the line of like
You have to show one thing
But you also have to remind
Remember that you just came off
Of this high of all this Michael Jackson celebration
I think that middle point is going to be a big
It's been 20 years
I might feel like
like envy tomorrow after I watched the last two episodes.
Yeah, and I think I'm, that's what we're supposed to do.
And we'll talk about it once you do, you know, get through all of that.
But I do, but I do notice the doc is about the trial that he got found not guilty of on all 14 counts.
I guess we got to see how they sway it too, how they make you feel from watching it.
Do they make you feel like he's still guilty?
But I just feel like it's too close from everybody celebrating Michael.
You can't make me feel like you're guilty because I don't believe he guilty.
Can't nobody tell me nothing about that with Michael Jackson?
So you can't make me feel no way.
I'm just watching.
feel like the man got railroad. I'm going to see Michael
again. I'm taking the kids again because I enjoy it so much.
Because Netflix dropped this? No.
Oh, okay. Because I want my kids back because I want to go see it again.
Okay. I'm like, if he's taking a stand.
No, I just want to go sit again. I enjoyed it. Well, that's the latest
for this hour. We'll be back in the next hour.
Happy birthday, Max B.
Y'all, he is 48.
Salute Max B. All right. Now, when we come back, we got
Charlemagne Donkey. Who are giving Donkey? Yeah, before the hour.
There's a Florida man named Jamel Freeman that needs to come to the
front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him, please.
All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast
Club. Good morning.
Make sure you tell him to watch out
for Florida, man.
The craziest
people in America come from the Bronx
in all of Florida.
Yes, you are a donkey.
A Florida man attacked
an ATM for a very strange reason.
It gave him too much money.
Florida man is arrested after deputy say he rigged the
door to his home in an attempt to
electric hit his pregnant wife. Police arrested
an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.
The breakfast club, bitchy.
Donkey other day.
When Shalom ain't a guy. I don't know why y'all
He'd be letting him get you all like this.
Well, Little Duval,
Donkey today for Thursday, May 21st,
goes to a Florida man named Jermel Freeman, okay?
What does your uncle Shala 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.
Now, Jamel has been charged with aggravated arson
because he decided to bake a blanket.
Okay, yes, this man put a blanket in the oven,
and it wasn't even a pig in it.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
If Jermel wanted a heated blanket, they like $3, $39.99 on Amazon.
Okay, good housekeeping is an amazing brand.
Why didn't he just buy one?
But that's not what he actually put the blanket in the oven for.
Okay, what did he put the blanket in the oven for?
Let's go to Lauren La Rosa for the report, please.
Florida man is accused of setting his ex-girlfriend's apartment on fire
after allegedly threatening her during a FaceTime call,
and he is now being held in Franklin County Jail.
Columbus Fire crews responded April 10 to an apartment fire on Belcher Drive in North Columbus.
The victim told investigators she was not home at the time,
but said her ex-boyfriend, Jermel Freeman,
face-times her and turned on her other.
with a blanket inside telling her he was going to start a fire.
The victim had previously reported other threats to Columbus Police,
including that Freeman threatened to stab her with a kitchen knife and kill her friends.
I got your knife, Freeman is alleged to have said to his girlfriend,
I told you I wasn't playing with you.
Witnesses told investigators that Freeman was trying to find a return flight home.
Damn, you do know when Usher said, let it burn.
He didn't mean that literally, right?
It's a metaphor, okay?
Letting it burn refers to the painful but necessary release of watching a relationship
completely die out. Okay, it's about facing the agonizing grief of a breakup because you know
it's the right thing to do. It's not about setting your ex's apartment on fire. Okay, my brothers,
why can't y'all just deal with rejection? The great black philosopher Gucci man once said
girls are like buses, Miss One Next 15 one coming. Okay, do we not remember great quotes like
there are plenty fishing to sea? Nowadays, it's more like there are plenty but-necked women on
IG. Okay, Jamel, even if you felt like there are plenty fishing to sea, but she's the only one for me.
Hey, man, if you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours, okay?
What I don't understand about men like Jamel is when a woman breaks up with you, then you do
something like set her apartment off fire. All you're doing is confirming that she made the right
decision. Okay, Jamel allegedly already threatened to stab her, like Lauren just said, and harm her friends.
Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but those are grounds to break up with somebody,
okay thank god that young lady wasn't home because that could have been very bad all right this dude was clearly moving off emotion and this is why i don't like when people say women are emotional creatures no human beings are emotional creatures okay we are not creatures of logic we are creatures of emotion and we do not care what's true we care how it feels and jemelle felt hurt okay and instead of going to therapy to learn how to regulate his emotions he decided he wanted to project that pain onto this young lady uh artist young lady's apartment
just because the young lady didn't want to be with him anymore.
Okay, my brother's rejection is a part of life.
All right, okay?
What happened to, you know, when a girl breaks up with you,
you decide to better yourself, all right?
Go out there and get in the best shape physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally,
let her be scrolling to Graham this time next year and be like, damn,
when she sees your glow up, okay?
That's why you don't block none of your exes, all your haters.
You got to let them see you winning, okay?
You got to let them see you shining, but no, Jamel, you want to be dusty,
Do. Okay, once again, you proved exactly why this woman should have been left you. Okay, rejection doesn't create character. It reveals it and people got to stop ignoring red flags the first time. Okay, because if somebody responds to losing you by trying to destroy you or destroy something of yours, then leaving them with the smartest thing you ever did. Please give Jamel Freeman the biggest y'all.
All right, Shalaman.
for that donkey today.
Yes, indeed.
Up next is diarrhea.
Yeah.
Diary.
Sterey burning.
Yeah, a little diarrhea.
Jess just ran out.
Whenever just runs out like that, you know.
Yeah, she ran out quick too.
Yeah, man.
But up next is Jess fixed my mess.
But she comes back fast, too.
That's what's weird about it.
You don't ever notice that?
Well, I mean, it runs out fast.
Yeah, but that's a...
Yeah, but what about the clean up?
You know what I'm?
Cleanups should take a little longer out with that.
I gave her dude wipes the other day, so maybe she got that.
Them thing?
Y'all ain't self-cleaning, all y'all?
No, you use the wipes and stuff.
Okay, just making sure.
Not y'all ain't self-cleaning.
But up next is Jess Fixed My Mess
after she fixes her mess.
800-585-105-1.
So if you have in some relationship issues
or any type of issues,
Jess will fix your mess as soon as she gets back
from the bathroom.
Hopefully she washes her hands.
Damn! It's the Breakfast Club good morning.
Ex about me.
Relationship problems?
X about me. You need to beat your co-worker's ass.
X about me. Your coworker need to beat your ass.
Call it up.
It's Dr. Jess, and I'm here to fix your mess.
It's getting very much messy.
Let me fix it.
Good morning.
Who's this?
What you said?
Hello.
Hello?
Hey, Jeff.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
Do you have me on a Bluetooth for a speaker?
No, no, no.
That was just my work machine.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I got you.
I can hear you now.
What's going on?
So back a few months ago, I went to court.
Me and my baby mom, I got, we shared joint.
custody, but I got residential.
So she's with me 24-7.
Okay.
Ever since a few months back, it's like my
baby mom got worse. She don't make her court
order phone calls that she's supposed to.
She don't even come to the visit.
We're supposed to meet each other at a
rest stop. You know what I mean? So it's
like halfway points
because we live
about half hour away from each other.
You know what I'm saying? So we met, we meet in
like a halfway point. And she don't
even come there. So it's like I'm wasting time and
money. And then it's like
when we, I try to explain to the courts all this stuff.
And for some reason, I live, I live in Jersey, I live down the shore.
And for some reason, even though the mom is a certified, like, it's certified like that she
don't do nothing, she just waste.
They still want to give the mom like some type of, I don't even, I don't even know what to
call it.
If she's not being a mother, why you got to keep giving her a chance.
You know what I mean?
So she's basically unfit, you know, like she's basically a dead meat kind of sort of.
She don't do nothing.
She doesn't do nothing.
She hasn't paid nothing.
Not that I look for any money.
My daughter is well taken care of.
But, like, she just got put on child support a couple months back.
And she still don't do nothing.
So she's a deadbeat, essentially.
But, see, if I didn't make your payment, they'd be coming after me.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Well, we know the system is not set up for men, you know, especially black men.
They will give the woman so many chances.
There's so many chances, you know.
And that's not right.
Everybody needs to be closely evaluated,
whether it's a father or a mother.
So your question is like what to do?
How can you co-parent with her?
Basically, like, I don't want to go, like,
the amount of money I spent on my last court thing,
I could have took my daughter to Disney twice.
Yeah, I understand.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like now I think that's what she wants to do.
She wants me to waste all this money.
to go into the courts and do all that,
just so she could play the sob story like,
oh, I don't get to see my daughter.
Well, that's not my, my daughter's 11 years old.
She don't even want to deal with her.
She don't even call her mom, none of that.
Geez, does her mom call her?
No.
She don't call.
She's court.
This is my whole thing.
You're a woman,
so you definitely will understand where I'm coming from.
Do you need the courts to tell you how to be a mother?
No, I do.
Not.
Okay, then.
That's my whole point.
Yeah.
Like, if she's preaching to the courts, like, oh, I'm this, I'm that.
Why aren't there courts, like, turning around and being like, all right, well, prove to me.
Yeah.
What have you done?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I got all, I got all the receipts.
My wife made sure I got all the receipts for everything.
Hmm.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I've been married.
It's going to be seven years, June 23rd.
Okay.
Well, congratulations on your upcoming end.
What I think is, right, only time is going to be able to fix this situation.
I think your daughter's mother being a deadbeat, essentially, that's only going to hurt her in the long run.
And it's going to hurt your child as well.
But I love the fact that you do have a wife.
You do have, she does have a mother figure.
It's not like this.
Oh, yeah.
She's been calling my wife ever since she was able to talk, Mommy.
Like, my big mom had.
she had her on like it's crazy and like me and this woman we never were like in love or
nothing like that i got into some drama in jersey so i hightailed it to new york met her in new york
and we had baby yeah and i understand and things do happen like that and this is just the price
that you have to pay for you know for doing that i mean i'm cool with it i just wish like i tried to
do the last thing where it's like all right you don't want to be involved you just want to come around
when you want just sign your rights over
Right.
Here's my thing.
You don't need child.
I don't need child support from you.
The courts made me seem like a bad dad if I didn't put her on child support.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
And I'm like, well, not for nothing.
I ain't getting money since the day she was born, so.
Yeah.
You know, but it's just crazy.
I just figured I need to get like a, you know, I got my wife's perspective,
but you know how the women are that, you know.
Absolutely.
She's always going to defend me, you know what I'm saying?
So it's like I wanted to get like a different.
Especially you, you're on the talk show.
I heard your book was real, real, real good.
Absolutely.
Till death do we parent.
It's a co-parenting memoir reflects on the journey of me raising my son with his father.
And I love, love, love the fact that although she's, your baby girl is missing out on her biological mother.
She still has a mother figure.
She still has someone that she can call mommy.
So she's being raised properly, you know.
And she's going to get older.
Yeah, she is.
My wife.
Mm-hmm.
My wife definitely does.
her numbers. I give a lot of credit to my wife. And then it's just like my and at one point and it's
not like I don't want anybody to think on the radio that like nobody was trying like
be nice with her. I guess you could say like my wife tried to reach out to her, tried to do
fun stuff, but she was more worried about hanging out and trying to become drinking buddies and
stuff like that with my wife instead of like build in a relationship with your daughter. Yeah.
She's on a different page in her life.
She's in a different era and she has a different mindset.
And that's got to change.
But you know what?
You can't even worry about that.
Just like I tell, the moms who complain to me about the father's not doing anything.
You can't make her be a mother and neither can the courts.
The only thing the courts can do is put into play what she should be doing.
You know what I mean?
But that doesn't necessarily mean that she's going to rise to the occasion of being a mother.
You know what I mean?
Just because you give birth, don't make you a mother.
You know what I mean?
My wife definitely said that.
Yeah.
My wife definitely told me that.
She's like, babe, just because she gave birth doesn't make her a mother.
Yep.
I said, oh, you know, I understand.
But it's just like you just costing me all this money.
Now I feel like you're doing that on purpose.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I can't tell you, just drop the cases and just keep taking care of your daughter
because this is an ongoing thing.
And you want justice for this.
But you just got to stay in the fight, if you're willing to deal with everything that comes with it.
I'm sorry, these are the consequences.
Well, of all that stuff.
It's done.
So now it's just like, as of right now, as of right now, it's just like I'm supposed to waste every Saturday to make sure I'm at this rest stop at 12 o'clock when I know for a fact she don't show.
And then I got to go about my day after 12 o'clock.
It just sucks because my daughter and my wife are like, babe, we really want to, you know, give her a call.
And then when you try to call the woman, ain't no answer.
we share a court app.
Yeah.
You can't talk to me.
The crazy part is you ask like you could talk to me regular.
Why do we got a court app then if you can't, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
She's just not.
She ain't ready, you know, but she's going to regret this someday, one day.
She's when she has to have a conversation with her daughter about why she wasn't there.
She's going to have to be real with baby girl.
You know what I'm saying?
And I'm glad that court is over.
and the hardest thing to do is to co-parent with somebody
that you is to co-parent by yourself
that that is because that's what it seems like
she's not giving you anything she's not even doing
a little bit of what she should be doing
or what it seems like she should be doing
or what it seems like she should want to do as a mom
but nah that that's that's not even what she on right now
but you know what I'm happy that your baby girl
has two parents in the household and that she sees
that her father is not giving up
you know what I mean that's that's a good thing
you're setting a good precedence for you
and a good example for your baby, you know,
and I applaud you for that.
But no, you shouldn't get the book.
Honestly, I don't, I don't be looking for none of that.
Like, I was raised in the household with both of my parents.
So it's like, I know, and my wife was raised in a household where she had, you know,
step parents and stuff like that.
So it's like, she got the best of both worlds and being everything.
And I just, I was just raised like, listen, you made a baby.
handle your responsibilities.
That's it.
Absolutely.
Same way I was raised.
You understand what I'm saying?
That's right.
You should get this book.
You could relate to it.
It's not just for moms.
It's for dads.
It's for parents.
It's about relationships and fostering them and, you know, motherhood, fatherhood,
and how we power through it even when it gets hard.
So I appreciate you calling.
So when she don't reach out, so when she don't reach out and do none of that,
do you think that I should be the one reaching out or just no?
Like, you know, my whole thing is, it's like,
They made me feel like, and this is the lawyer that I had at one point.
My lawyer asked me if I'm talking about my baby mom to my daughter.
And I said, yeah, every once in a while when she brings her up,
but I don't go out of my way to bring her up because my daughter's with me.
So what is, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
So am I wrong for that?
No, you're not, you're not wrong for that.
I would not talk down on her mom to her because she's getting older
and she's going to see the absence of her mother.
the negligence of her mother,
you know, the wrongdoing of her mom.
You don't have to do that.
You know, she know who she's with.
She knows who loves her.
You know, my wife, we definitely don't talk bad.
If there's anything like, oh, why didn't she call or why did she come to visit?
Hey, baby, me and my wife both tell my daughter,
maybe she's busy, maybe she got caught up in work.
Yeah.
But when she don't, like, reach out and stuff, my daughter already told her.
She's 11 years old.
She already told her how she felt.
And that's one thing, like, after you hear that from your daughter,
instead of trying to do better, you do worse.
Yeah, because she's not ready to be a parent.
And that's fine, and I wish I had more time.
I do got to go.
But now, you are on the right track.
You are on the right playing field.
She's not.
And you can't make her be a mom.
Nobody can make her be a mom.
She'll rise to that occasion one day
and hopefully it's not too late to build a bond.
You know, that's just what it is.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, new?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast.
called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts.
We're starting a trend.
But this one's extra special.
So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.
This is how you guys remember it going down.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
people could call in and say,
Hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad,
Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

your parents made a huge donation.
The group.
The yarn herds, right?
That's the name.
The Harvard Yard.
They're open.
Do you have a name suggestion?
We're open.

Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
On the Breakfast Club.
Talk to me.
Breaking news. This is breaking right now.
CNN is reporting that Netflix is set to launch its first ever daily live show.
Wow.
That live show is the breakfast show.
Oh, my goodness.
Period.
Not just CNN, the Wall Street Journal.
Wall Street Journal.
Variety.
It is everywhere all over, anywhere that you get all of your breaking information right now.
And now you're hearing it right here on the Breakfast Club.
So that'll begin Monday, June 1st.
And now the show, our show, of course, we will stay on the radio.
nationally syndicated, but we are the radio.
There's no stay on the radio. It's a radio
show. Period. The breakfast club is a radio
show. Okay? Let's be clear on that. So wait a minute. We're going to be
live every morning on Netflix.
The first show ever to do that? Globally.
Globally live. Globally.
That means we'll be a morning show in some places. We'll be a
evening show in other places. We'll be an afternoon
show in some places. So the question, so if we're
in Asia, are they going to like dub our voice
like, like, hoing-gong.
See?
All right, man.
Okay.
It's over me.
I'm sorry.
I was going to talk about some of the content
that we're getting through Netflix.
We go into that.
Maybe.
Should we just keep going?
All right.
Is it going to be in a different language?
That's all I asked.
All right.
Well, yeah.
So that'll be happening on June 1st, Monday, June 1st.
I should have said Mexico.
You'll get behind the scenes,
exclusive bonus segments,
extended discussions, original content.
It's going to be enhanced uninterrupted,
and it's going to be a heck of an experience.
And what we say,
When we say that we're live, we're literally going to, like, be live the whole way through.
Yes.
Wow.
Even, like, during commercial breaks.
In between segments.
But when you're on the radio, of course, if you're listening on the radio, you're going to hear the commercials.
If you're watching on Netflix, you'll just be engaging with us behind the scenes.
Because, you know, we got the phone lines and phones and online and chats and all types of things.
Planning the next segment, how we plan, how we break it down.
The war room.
The war room.
Yeah, so shout out to us.
It's the first show ever to do that, right?
Ever.
Ever.
Ever.
First live daily show on that.
Wow.
Period.
Period.
Radio baby
The power of radio baby
Yes
Radio, it's radio
Okay
You're right to watch
Your mouth
Are you looking in the mirror
All right moving on
This is crazy
So Queen Latifah sat down
For an exclusive interview with Angie Martinez
No
In real life podcast
I can't wait to watch that
What?
When that came out
I ain't see that.
last night. It premiered last night,
late last night. Now,
you know, Queen Latifah doesn't just talk
about much of anything to anybody. So this is
a very amazing interview to listen to.
Now, one of the things they get into, they talk about her life,
her career, all the things. One of the things they get into that stood
out to me was Queen Latifah
talking about how she would not even be here.
We wouldn't know who she was today if it wasn't for
Patty LaBelle. Let's take a listen.
Queen, Queen, Queen, thank you for so
many things. And thank you for being my
daughter. You know, when we did that show
star, you're just such a wonderful.
person for so many
reasons, so many things that you've
done for me that you don't know I know
and it's because you love me
and I love you too honey. Thank you
and happy Mother's Day.
That was the legendary
Patty LaBelle. What does that bring up for you?
She's been around my whole life. If it wasn't for Patty
LaBelle you might not even know who I am
at this point. When I lost my
brother at 22, I was
ready to like check out of this whole thing
and Patty LaBelle is one of the people.
people who I talked to who talk to me.
She has lost sisters.
They lost four sisters.
Yes.
So her, heavy D, were able to talk to me and like help reframe my thought.
Right.
Wow.
Yeah.
Now she also gets into the moment at the BT Awards back in 2021, where she talked about
pride and she wished to happy pride.
Let's take a listen to Queen Latifah opening up about that moment.
I'm going to get off this stage, but I thank you so much for all of you.
the fans for supporting
every crazy ass thing
I've done through the year.
And thank you for making equalizer
number one.
Ebony, my love.
Rebel, my love. Peace.
Happy pride.
Yeah, now this was, you know,
Queen Lentifa has been very private about her personal life.
Even in this interview, they talk about it,
but she's still very personal.
But, you know, she opens up a lot here
about why she decided to do that moment.
Let's take a listen to her.
I'm trying to think of how.
to ask this without being too nosy.
You have made a shift, a public shift.
Damn, did I?
You did.
What I do?
Stop.
You are a married woman with a child.
You do carpets with your wife.
But when you've let people in a little bit, you did go on stage, you shout pride,
clearly are living in your truth and your family and your life.
Dana.
I can't do just a regular.
You made a choice to do that.
I did.
Yeah.
So what about the, can you talk about that?
I was getting a lifetime achievement award and I didn't want to leave out the people who
part of the lifetime. Yeah, that makes sense. That's about it. Really? It's really that simple.
It was not more complicated than that. It was so not more complicated than that. It's not always
that deep. Some people think that if you don't share, it means you're hiding something. People are just
so fascinated about people's private lives. I think also sometimes people want to know how you
navigating. I may tell you how I navigate. Okay. I'm on my business. I want to close my Angie
Martinez. What an amazing, just compassionate line of questioning. Yeah. And get into, and get into,
a topic that could be
uncomfortable, but just the way she
worded those questions, incredible.
A hundred percent, yeah. That interview is now
live on Angie Martinez and Real Life
IRL podcast.
So please go watch and take a listen.
I respect Queen Latifah so much.
Her and Shaqam and what they built
with Flavor Unit, you know, just starting
off his friends and then, you know, the management
company and the way they grow in the
Hollywood and TV and music,
they just moguls all across the board.
Absolutely. Salute to Shaqam and Queen Latifah.
Salute to Queen Latif.
I love Queen Latif.
I love everything she stands for.
Yeah, the interview, it makes you smile too.
Because you can tell she's just in such a great place in life.
And the two of them, they're dynamic.
It just makes you feel good.
Yeah.
It's not like two home girls talking.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
Now, as we wrap, I don't have time to play one more, right?
As we wrap, I just want to tell you guys that this segment is sponsored by Top Dog Law.
Any accident, big or small, called Top Dog Law.
All right.

Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what?
We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know.
Tired and sick.

Just listen.
We don't care where you hear it.

We're open.
