Now they have parties, there's pre-draft parties, it's a huge thing. I mean it's always been a thing because you know they're like vultures circling around.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Oh it's way worse now. Ever since it hit Detroit a couple of years ago it's been crazy. So it's like a flock, circling around. Oh, it's way worse now ever since it hit out Detroit a couple of years ago It's been crazy. It's like a flock. That's not about a flock of girls. Yes Yeah, just waiting for the people that they think getting this new money. Oh, I know that's right. That's what it be Good morning, Bray expo friend. Hey, good morning How are you guys morning in B Charlemagne and Jess hilarious? Happy Thursday to you. Yes, ma'am seem to you All right. So here's what's trending in your news this morning. Now, Envy, you did mention the Ocean County
Starting point is 00:06:09 wildfire, which is officials are saying could become New Jersey's largest wildfire in more than two decades. So now the smoke from New Jersey, which you mentioned, it's forcing an air quality alert for New York City. Fire crews are continuing to make progress on the Jones Road wildfire that is an ocean county. It's destroyed now over 13,000 acres since Tuesday morning and it's now 50% contained. So over 5000 people were forced to evacuate because of that fire. But so far there have been no fatalities reported, which is a great thing. Fire chief Bill Donnelly says it's being fed by pine needles and dry leaves, but that progress they're continuing to make. And we have more from Trevor Rainer. He is
Starting point is 00:06:51 part of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. And at a press conference yesterday, he kind of gave a little update on what's going on with how many people he has on the ground for this. We had resources there quickly. we dispatched aircraft and even with a big show of force to contain this fire, it still grew to be a large wildfire. Yeah, so hundreds of firefighters are still battling that blaze which was first spotted Tuesday morning in Barnagat Township. Now are you guys familiar with that area at all? No, not at all not at all. So have they said it was arson? Or was it
Starting point is 00:07:27 just natural? No, no, they're saying it's natural. And right now, they're not suspecting arson, but it's being fed by all of the dry leaves and just catching fire with all the brush that's on the ground. So it said it spread to Lacey and ocean townships. And the fire chief. He's just working day and night and hopefully saying that by Friday night into Saturday, you've got rain in the forecast.
Starting point is 00:07:50 So that should clear everything up, hopefully. Since y'all been living here, have y'all ever seen anything like this? That's the first time I've seen that. Hasn't been anything. The only other thing that we've seen was, remember when Canada had those crazy wildfires, but never in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:08:02 But it's been pretty wet. It's rained last week. I really don't know. And New York air quality already trashed. It's already hard. So, I mean, you know, they can try to blame it on the wildfires all they want. Okay. You just dump the trash on top of more trash. They're definitely praying for that rain this weekend. So in more news, we've got 12 states
Starting point is 00:08:20 that have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration over the president's tariff decisions. Now, New York attorney general, Letitia James, released the statement saying President Trump quote, does not have the power to raise taxes on a whim, but that's exactly what he's been doing with these terrorists. Now, Connecticut, Arizona, Illinois, Colorado, Minnesota, and Delaware are joining New York in the lawsuit, along with Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Nevada. The attorneys general are seeking a court order declaring the tariffs illegal.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Have you guys been hearing anything there about what's been going on with the lawsuit? I haven't heard anything about it. It's the first time hearing of it, Bree. That's why your job is so important. All right. So yeah, I'm sure we'll be updating that with you guys tomorrow or today if we get it before the 7 a.m. hour.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Also in the news, we've got President Trump signing multiple executive orders centered around education. Now, Trump recently signed seven orders from the Oval Office with some of the changes, including introducing a new college accreditation process. Also, he wants to increase empowerment to HBC use and improve education centered around AI technology. So this order was also signed to reinstate what they are calling common sense school discipline policies. And that is all education secretary Linda McMahon.
Starting point is 00:09:34 She says that will boost school safety standards, adding that disciplinary action should be based exclusively on students behavior and actions. So she wants to return disciplinary action to the teachers and just allow them to handle their classrooms the way they see fit. They don't have that now? What you mean disciplinary action? I didn't know that change. What you talking about?
Starting point is 00:09:52 What you talking about disciplinary action? You know, I guess that's whatever. Disciplinary means that you get in trouble when you act up. But they had that just now. Exactly. Oh, I thought they were saying like, you were popping the kids or something.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Physically, yeah, physically. Well, they didn't mention anything about physically, but I guess they're saying make it the teacher's responsibility to discipline the students in their classrooms Like going back to the paddle days I don't even really sound because how else can you discipline a kid for acting up other than doing detention or sending them to the office of ISS we have ISS in school Yeah, but and so the teachers do that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:10:25 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:10:33 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah When y'all get in trouble in class, is it the teacher or what happens usually come to the mic come closer the teacher Yes, I'm saying I'm like they take this one out of school maybe I missed it I don't know It might be happening in some schools, but you know, hopefully she looks found on that a little bit more Also, President Trump says he plans to create a White House initiative within the executive office of the president Seeking to promote private sector partnerships with HBCUs, also enhance workforce preparation in high growth industries like technology and finance, and
Starting point is 00:11:13 remove barriers to grant funding. Additionally, the White House is saying it's planning to hold an annual HBCU summit, though I'm sure more will be coming out about that and will definitely keep you updated. If you recall back in 2019, president Trump did sign a bipartisan bill providing over $250 million annually to HBCUs. That's known as the future act. So, you know, despite some of the recent concerns about the federal funding cuts that have been happening, supporters of this are saying the future act is
Starting point is 00:11:39 continuing to provide that financial support specifically to HBCUs. No, that's good. You know, say, I, you know, I give props to whatever it's due. If you know Republicans do something good, give them props for that. If they do something bad, you got to hold them accountable. If Democrats do something good, give them props for that. If Democrats do something bad, you got to hold them accountable. Quarter million annually to HBCUs is A-OK to me.
Starting point is 00:12:01 All right. We just want to make sure that money is actually being allocated. And that is Front Page News. Bree, we'll see you next hour. Yes. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

Now when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. We do. So there are reports right now that Shannon Shar's career at ESPN is going to be over
Starting point is 00:20:09 and it's going to happen pretty soon. I'm being told differently by sources close, but we need to have a conversation about it. How close are the sources? Oh, they're very close to production. Damn. So Stephen, they text you? What'd he say? First of all, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:20:20 What'd he say? Was it big perk? Who was it? We don't talk about it. If it was, it's a rap, right? You got burning bridges in here. Alright, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club

Tell her, tell her, man! She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Starting point is 00:20:52 She be having the latest on this. The sound of things. The lunch. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Alrighty, y'all. So the Shannon Sharp ESPN, does he still keep his job conversation is beginning to, I was
Starting point is 00:21:13 gonna say beginning to happen, but it's been happening. But I think now it's beginning to get louder because of different things that a Tony, a Tony Busby has released, including the audios. So right now the conversation is why is Shannon Sharp still able to be on ESPN amongst the allegations but more even more after these audios are released. So Monday, Tuesday Shannon Sharp did ESPN's first take which are his normally scheduled days and then people didn't see him on for the rest of the week. So there were-
Starting point is 00:21:41 He's never on for the rest of the week though. He's only on Monday and Tuesday. There were people who began to say, oh, they finally pulled him. They did what they should have done. There were people that were saying, you guys are crazy, because he's only always only on Monday and Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:21:53 So I reached out because I wanted to know, even though those are his scheduled days, like, you know, I wanted to know more solid, is he being removed from the program? Is it a suspension? What is it? So I was told by source closer production that, like you guys said
Starting point is 00:22:10 Monday and Tuesdays are his days that he is on any day that you do not see him on the show It's just a regularly scheduled day off for now as of now We know because Stephen Smith said in on his show that there are conversations and investigations going on behind the scenes with the network Let's take a listen to Stephen a Smith and what he said again. I means with the network. Let's take a listen to Stephen A Smith and what he said again. I can tell you, I also spoke to co-chairman of Disney, the boss, Jimmy Pataro, who made it very, very clear. We are taking this matter very seriously and we are looking into this very, very closely. And once we gather as many facts as we possibly can, we will go from there. And that is all he said. And I can mention his name because I received his permission to say that.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Now a big part of this conversation, right, even with that happening, even at what that being said, and that is, you know, has to be that is the statement from ESPN, right? At this point, that's all that we have. People are upset because they feel like people have been removed from ESPN and other networks for less. They're pointing to Michael Irvin. They're also now beginning to bring up past things that have happened with Shannon Sharp, including a temporary restraining order that was filed against him back in 2010 from a
Starting point is 00:23:18 woman that he was dealing with at the time who accused him of sexual assault. He said in different things. Now, this was dropped. you know, it was dismissed. That restraining order was dismissed. Claims were dismissed at the time, but people were like, hey, if you have all this in the past, this happens publicly. Monday, okay, we gonna give it to y'all.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Y'all didn't, it was all happening at one time. But Tuesday, after he releases text messages and then you're hearing these different things, why not just say, hey, let's take a step back because it looks like as if the network is complacent on the front even though things happen on the back end y'all do realize this only Thursday like these claims just happened like these corporations can't just react they got to investigate they got to do their due diligence they can't move like social media there's a legal way they have to
Starting point is 00:24:03 do things yes they don't get sued and anything about it What people don't understand is even though it could be loud it could be people could be yelling and screaming online We don't know what the facts are and I'm sure they had conversations with Shannon sharp And and hopefully they're trying to get the right they're investigating.

Wrestling fans all over the globe, it's Freddie Prinze Jr. And on Wrestling with Freddie, we're breaking down every damn moment from WrestleMania 41. Two nights, nonstop chaos, legends, surprises, emotions, and some of the best wrestling we've seen coming from WWE. We've got takes, we've got questions, and we have a whole lot of love for what these men and women pulled off at Mania. Tiffany Stratten, she earned her stripes at WrestleMania.
Starting point is 00:26:14 And I don't mean because she won, she bled for her art. And it always felt like to me after the Attitude Era, once a wrestler gets cut and you see real blood coming out of their mouth or real blood coming out of their head, the crowd kind of goes, hey, respect. And they kind of give you that nod, right? You go, wow, every one of these guys is bleeding. Bro, that's literally like blood, sweat and tears.
Starting point is 00:26:43 It's all they got is blood. We're talking Cody, we're talking Rhea, Roman, literally like blood, sweat and tears. It's all they got is blood. We're talking Cody, we're talking Rhea, Roman, Seth, Tiffany. The future of the business is bright. And if you watched Mania and you're still buzzing, or if you missed it and want to know what went down, we got you. Listen to this episode of Wrestling with Freddie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Hey kids, it's you get your kid. It could be a family show. We're not quite sure. We're still figuring it out. It's a work in progress. Listen to Beardless. It's me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Thursday. But that's what they should do before they let somebody go or fire somebody or suspend somebody. They should do their own investigation and see what the truth is. What do you guys say to the people who are saying, well, yes, they should do that, but don't fire him,
Starting point is 00:27:46 don't suspend him, but remove him off air, because now he is- If you remove him off air, isn't that, that is suspending him. That's suspending. Or for firing him. Well, you can't, even if you just say, hey, he's gonna take a little break,
Starting point is 00:27:57 like we don't have to call it a suspension, but until we figure out what's happening, or until we figure out how we position this, because he is a face of the network. Me personally, I don't think it's fair unless they have facts that he actually did it. Now if they go do their due diligence and say, hey, it's definite and this audio is what it seems to be
Starting point is 00:28:13 and the full audio is there, then yes, bro. Well, keep in mind, this is Disney. So based off the things that are already out there that we know are true, it is probably enough to take him off edge. But let me ask you a wild question, not to say this is true, but let's just say that they were role playing and that was the thing
Starting point is 00:28:28 that they do and it was consensual. They still have moral clauses at Disney, everything can't be public. But that wasn't public, that was taped. It's public now. It's out now. But that's not what I do in my bedroom if it's secretly taped and now you fire me
Starting point is 00:28:40 because something that was secretly, I didn't put it out. You gotta think about it, that happened last year. So they let that go, right? We don't know what happened in the building with that. He might be on probation for that for all we know. I'm just saying, I don't know. I'm just saying, that happened last year. But if something is secretly recorded and taken,
Starting point is 00:28:55 you fired me for something I didn't put out that was secretly taken, I don't think that's true. Just keep it, it's Disney, bro. It is Disney. I don't think Mickey Mouse standing by the free calls. Why not? You think him and Minnie probably be getting it is Disney. I don't think Mickey Mouse standing by the free calls Why not you think him and we're him and he probably be getting it pop. I don't know I don't know. I'm just all I'm simply saying is it's only Thursday When I grew up spongebob was a whole you know, oh what?
Starting point is 00:29:20 No, like it's Barney yes, so move on I ain't trying number no mini don't be nowhere They are they heard words they listen every morning Barney did what the Spongebob now Individual cases oh yeah But all I'm saying is they have to do their due diligence before anybody suspended in fire because if not they could face a lawsuit if things go the wrong way. Social media want everything to happen immediately. Insta instant. They want everything to instantly happen. It doesn't work like that.
Starting point is 00:29:55 The righteous people on Reddit baby they are dissecting and divulging right now and they are upset. Reddit is a social media? Reddit? I thought Reddit was like somewhere, it's like Indeed, like you find jobs on on it it's like a blog or you like I mean you could they have like a message board yeah like topics on there and they break it down everybody says how they feel but yeah they they yeah they just feel like he should have been removed until they figured out what was happening and I feel like look if the
Starting point is 00:30:20 network is down to say hey we can allow him to go let them go that's that's it's only Thursday what are we talking's that's it's only Thursday what are we talking about? Everybody relax. It's Thursday. It's just happened You need to make a reddit account why just to say that But don't you think they should get the full facts and find out everything that's And that's my point like yes, they do they do do do do. Well Michael Irvin was he taken off after things were proven or was it right when it came out? Who?
Starting point is 00:30:50 Michael Irvin. I don't remember he was accused of making lewd comments to a woman. Yeah. And I don't I don't know how soon they took him off after that. I saw they suspended him but then he was being stated. Yeah, because they found if I remember correctly I think they found out it wasn't true and then he sued the woman for defamation. Yes. Yeah and that's a big misstep if now I can come back to networking. And that's why they can't
Starting point is 00:31:12 react. Then that's why they can't react. There's a legal way they have to do things. Correct. Well that's it for the latest of this hour y'all he's still at work Shannon Sharp as of today it's still at work at ESPN. Alright. It's only Thursday. According to my source. And it's also Cedric Danatana's birthday, Thursday, this Thursday. Cedric didn't want that right there. No, he didn't want it right there.
Starting point is 00:31:30 You could've waited five minutes. He did not want you to do that right there. You could've waited two minutes. He did not want you to do that right there. You could've waited a second. Now that you say it's only Thursday, but it's a big day. How old is Cedric?
Starting point is 00:31:38 It's Cedric Danatana's birthday, so no. All right, well we got front page news next, and then 803 Fresh will be joining us. We got the record in yet? 61, he want that birthday whenever he can get it. Now if you don't know who 803 Fresh is, you probably know this record right here. Can we play a little bit of it? No, we don't have it.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Alright, well Boots on the Ground is the record. We're going to talk to him in a little bit. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Juscelarius Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. Start off with some quick sports and NBA playoffs. The Rockets beat the Warriors, they tie the series 109-94. Cavaliers beat the Heat 121-112, they lead the series to nothing.
Starting point is 00:32:17 And the Celtics beat the Magic 109-100, they lead the series to nothing. And the NFL Draft begins tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern on ESPN It's still in New York right? No, it's not it's actually in Green Bay Oh, they probably did that to reduce the horse See it's hard for them to get to Green Bay like you stand out in Green Bay the horse Yeah, you know cuz these women will circulate around the NFL draft because they think all of these young kids getting new money Yeah, but there's no horse in Green Bay. Not like Not like that. Like, they stand out a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:32:46 How do you know what a whore is? In Green Bay? I'm sure there are. It's different though. It was in Miami, it was New York. Like, it's a different level. I know what you're saying, but... Green Bay, they stand out a little bit. It's less of a whore fight in Green Bay though, because all of them are not going.
Starting point is 00:33:02 There's going to be very few. I had no idea you could say this word. I'm so happy right now. I had no idea. I think Green Bay is homeless. Okay. Good morning, Bree. Good morning. I'm Charlamagne, Envy, and Jess.
Starting point is 00:33:11 How are you guys? Good. Good morning, Bree. All right, so here's what's trending in the news this morning. Let's take it to California. A recent report reveals that police in San Diego are arresting black people at disproportionately higher rates
Starting point is 00:33:23 compared to other racial groups. Now the data was released by the San Diego Police Department under the California Public Records Act and it shows that black individuals are arrested at a rate more than double their population percentage in the city. According to the report, black residents in San Diego make up 26% of arrests, but only 5.7% of the actual population. So of course that disparity has sparked a lot of concerns and conversations there and cause for reforms within the police department to address potential biases and systemic issues. And so moving forward, community leaders and activists
Starting point is 00:33:57 are expected to push for policy changes there and increased oversight to ensure the fair treatment for all residents. That is very interesting because black people are arrested disproportionately all across America. Exactly. So what is going on in San Diego that is standing out? Like black people are arrested at a rate of five times higher than white people in most jurisdictions. So what is going on in San Diego that is sticking out like that?
Starting point is 00:34:21 And I think the numbers would be very interesting if every city decided to go ahead and just pull a report. But I'm glad that they're bringing attention to it because that's crazy. So something needs to be done. And now Charlemagne, we're gonna move into South Carolina. This is making headlines, a mass murderer trying to have his death penalty overturned. I'm talking about attorneys for Dillon Roof.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Now that is the man that was convicted of the 2015 Charleston, South Carolina church shooting that killed nine black church members. You guys remember that they have filed a motion to vacate his death sentence. And so they are citing 18 claims, including alleged violation of his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights. And the motion is requesting a new penalty phase trial, arguing that his original trial counsel was ineffective
Starting point is 00:35:06 and the judge showed bias. So the Supreme Court previously rejected Roof's appeal to overturn his death sentence and conviction back in 2022. So- Bias? You walked into a church and killed nine people in cold blood, Dylann Roof.
Starting point is 00:35:21 What are you, there's no bias in that. Any judge with any type of common sense would have threw you under the jail and gave you the death penalty. And now South Carolina got death by firing squad. So, you know, line it up. Okay, when it's time, when it's his time, line them up. That's right.
Starting point is 00:35:37 And I believe there's been one death so far of a death row inmate by firing squad this year. That's right. And that would be a very appropriate punishment for Dylann Roof because of what he did. I still think the family should be able to shoot him. Walking into a manual AME and killing those nine innocent souls, man.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Well, the Supreme Court, they rejected his last appeal. I don't see his lawyers getting very far with this, but it will be interesting if they do. But that is still an ongoing thing here. Also in New York. The audacity though, the audacity of people like that, as if you don't know the crime that you committed. Why should he be granted any grace?
Starting point is 00:36:13 No. Any. No, and it's not like there was witnesses. It's not like maybe he did, maybe he didn't. There was a lack of evidence. No, we know. He walked into that church and killed nine, walked into a manual AME and killed nine people in cold blood. He shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I'm with you. I think your family should have Adam do that. The family want to shoot him? Let the family do it. Yeah, so we'll be following that one for updates. And now in New York, Mayor Eric Adams, he's reacting to a Manhattan judge temporarily blocking his administration from reopening an ICE office at the Rikers Island jail complex. So Mayor Adams says that he'll let the case play out in court and hinted that
Starting point is 00:36:48 New Yorkers should favor his position. Take a listen to some of Mayor Adams remarks here. Well, you know what everyday people want? They want dangerous people off the street. That's who I hear. And so the first deputy mayor is dealing with that. This case is in, is in court. I'm not going to do anything to get in the way of that.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Let the first deputy mayor and the court plays out and whatever way it goes, I'm going to follow the rule. Now, the judge gave the order after the city council sued Mayor Adams with the court case expected to be heard on Friday. The ICE presence at Rikers is intended to allow correction department officials to work with ICE on investigations related to violent criminals. The city council members are fearing that the ICE office will lead to mass deportations. So like it's a setup. So we'll see that is going down tomorrow. And finally,
Starting point is 00:37:37 we are talking about Levar Burton, the actor director in New York Times bestselling author. He's getting an honorary degree from Howard University. So Mr. Burton, if that name doesn't ring a bell for you, most people remember him as the host of Reading Rainbow. I grew up watching Reading Rainbow. The movie Roots or of course even Star Trek, he is becoming an honorary doctor of Humane Letters and he will speak to the graduating class during the HBCU's commencement. Now this is Howard's 157th commencement ceremony and that is scheduled
Starting point is 00:38:05 for May 10th. So congratulations to him. That's right. That is Hallie Burton? No. LaVar Burton. Oh, LaVar Burton. I was going to say, oh, Rainbow. Oh, butterfly in the sky. Don't you notice on there, like, what the hell? What the Hallie Burton? I thought that was, she was talking about that guy. That was already Rainbow, didn't it? No, probably not, since I was younger, so I don't remember it, but okay.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Oh my goodness. Damn. Yeah, when I was a little kid, I grew up watching it, and he is a literary advocate. He always pushes for, you know, reading for young kids. I do remember this song, I just don't remember watching it like that. But that's a surprise. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Oh, wow. Wow. Why, could you try and say, why? No, I'm trying to say that you're too busy watching the wire. That's what I'm trying to read. All right. Well, that is your front page news. I'm Bri Wood. You can find me on X at Bri on air. Also check us out at BINnews.com and you can get BINnews on demand 24-7 on the free iHeart radio app. Thank you guys. Have a great day.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Thank you, Bree. All right. Thank you, Bree. Now when we come back, 803 Fresh will be joining us. My guy from Wagner, South Carolina. If that name doesn't sound familiar, maybe this song will. And we don't have a clip of the song we can play right fast. Waitin' fans.
Starting point is 00:39:21 That's Boots on the Ground, baby. That's Boots on the Ground is the song. And we're going gonna talk to him next It don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club Morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We got 803 fresh guy in the building fresh home team young guy in the building welcome fellas how y'all feeling? where them fans at? they bought them now if you don't know 803 fresh of course they got the record right now
Starting point is 00:39:52 that's if you've been out and about especially in the south especially HBCU boots on the ground is their song congratulations boys that song moving man thank you bro appreciate it. when did the song actually come out? December 24th that was like my Crips gift to everybody. Now Charlamagne a lot. Charlamagne's like that song been out for three years. I'm like Charlamagne no it hasn't. I was talking about just the whole line dance movement from South Carolina. It's definitely been going on more than three years. It just started picking up more in the past year and a half. Absolutely. People don't really get to see the line dance, especially on the East Coast as much,
Starting point is 00:40:26 but when I DJ everywhere, you get to see it. And I remember I was in Charlotte, and a girl came up to me and was like, can you play the boots on the ground? I had no idea what she's talking about. It was a Mobb Deep song. I was like, is that a Mobb Deep boots on the ground? I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:40:37 It's out to Louis V. Louis V was like, yeah, I'm gonna send it to you right now. Send it to me. And then when I played it, I seen the- It went up. The fans moving. I said, whoa. You know what's crazy? As crazy as it sounds the current political climate kind of
Starting point is 00:40:48 boosted the record too because I remember people started posting saying you know we ain't tripping off what this administration is doing. Black people are finding joy, learning new line dances and it would always be boots on the ground with the fans. Yep it took everybody like everybody's mind away from like the you know the current you know stuff that's going on, man. And so for me, it's like the unity in it. That's what makes it more appealing for me. You got the two-year-old, you got the 82-year-old, you got the grandmamas, aunties.
Starting point is 00:41:14 That's what makes it more genuine for me, man. The dope thing about it was a lot of the line dance songs are a lot older. Yeah. Like you talking 20 years older. When you go to a family reunion or wedding or an HBCU It's always the wobble wobble Before I let go then play the Beyonce version and this is something fresh and new so let's start from the beginning for people I don't know you who is 803 fresh where you from and how did you get into this this thing called the music industry?
Starting point is 00:41:40 What's going on everybody? It'll be first the kid live in the building I'm from a small town in South Carolina called Wagner. South Carolina, one stop sign, one stop light, we all share the same dog. That's what you show up in the neighbors there, cause you just about to say the same thing. Most corner bigger than Wagner. Yeah, yeah, most corner bigger than Wagner, man. But started off in the church, man, humble beginnings, man. Started off in the church, man, singing in the choir, whatever.
Starting point is 00:42:01 You know, like the product of the sun that left away from it, you know. I went out and I started venturing into like more genres I tapped in the pop I tapped in the R&B I rapped a little bit and then I found Southern Soul what really Southern Soul found me man been doing it about a year and a half now man and it actually saved my life man so Explain to the people what Southern Soul is. Southern Soul is a mixture it has a like a fine undertone mixture of gospel, blues, soul, all mixed together, meandered together, man.
Starting point is 00:42:28 It's solely based in the south, but when you hear it, it's like feel good music. When you hear it, it's like that music that touch your bones. It's a beautiful thing. You just gotta be in one of the events to actually feel it. It changes the environment totally, you know what I'm saying? We advocate for good time, we advocate for unity and that. And so that's why I chose to pick it back on that genre the most now. Yeah, you said it saved your life.
Starting point is 00:42:50 How, what were you into before? You know, with being in the rap culture, you say you have to adapt to that, you know, that rap environment. When I came to Southern Soul, I was battling some stuff, you know what I'm saying? It pulled me out of that because of the good feeling that it had, you know what I'm saying, made for me. Then my mama was, she was able to be proud of it. You know, when I'm rapping, she don't want to hit nothing.
Starting point is 00:43:11 She couldn't half way understand some of the stuff. So when she heard my very first Southern Soul song that I dropped, it was called All Night Long, man. And I got that first confirmation from her. I already knew then that this was the genre for me. You know what I mean? Do you remember the first record that made you say, oh, like the one that touched your soul what southern soul record touched your
Starting point is 00:43:27 soul? Shouts out to King George man he's from down my way as well man he definitely kicked the door down for us man. Keep On Rollin' is like one of those that you know really really really punched me and it gave me like some inspiration you know like you know one of those brothers I mean he's from South Carolina you know what I'm saying he kicked the door like wide open for us and when I heard this song I'm saying I automatically knew that this was the type of drama that I wanted to be in Were you surprised how fast this record caught on? Of course I mean cuz it's everywhere and you know and people are learning to dance quickly
Starting point is 00:43:56 When did you realize how big the record was? Man, I woke up one morning. I checked my TikTok. I mean I had so many notifications on TikTok and IG I thought somebody had died. So when I checked it or whatever I seen the video, the video was a spot down my way called S-Ball. It's a maker for like the live dance you're saying. So I seen that and it was like maybe 20 videos. I went to sleep and I woke up. It was like 500 videos. I knew at that point right then that it was, might have a little something and over the course of time now
Starting point is 00:44:26 What being with three months for almost four months man? It is past me. So right now I'm playing ketchup to the song Everybody have been trying to put a face with the music. Yeah. I am the one I feel like that's what it's Luther King George I feel like that's what he hasn't done yet He hasn't put a face to his music because everybody listens to you know, at down south you see people play a lot of King George music. He's a young dude He only like what? I think Joe about 37, 38. Yeah, but I'm saying I feel like he hasn't done that yet. I wonder why I don't know I mean timing is everything especially for me. I mean look how long I've been doing music I've been doing music for over 20 years
Starting point is 00:44:59 This is far southern soul. I dropped five songs before boots on the ground and then it picked up, you know So I mean time is everything so y'all definitely stay tuned y'all gonna see a lot more him and a lot more the Southern soul Frank when I noticed it got big was when I think kids doing it You know it from old people to kids. It was everybody got the kids. Yeah doing it and it's it's feel good It's like music that you had the family reunion and stuff like that Did anybody try to like reach out about signing you or anything like that? Oh, I didn't I'd even blow on a bag It's definitely been crazy man, but um, you know, we started this company shots out the snake eyes music group, man
Starting point is 00:45:39 We started this company, you know from bottom up, you know, we came with a vision it was just a vision and I think that we've done more in it was just a vision and I think that we've done more in a year than a lot of folks have done in like five seven years are you are you a Santo major or no you're doing everything independent we are independent of everything that you eat yeah I'm proud of us man I ain't a lot proud of us you know we all learn from each other you saying as we move we learn we grow and such that the young guy, man. That's why I brought him.
Starting point is 00:46:05 He's one of the United Fronts that we stand with as far as Southern. So they accepted me with open arms, man. And they had been doing it prior to me. But they showed me the roads that definitely wasn't Stingy old game. And I can appreciate that, man. So everything independent.
Starting point is 00:46:17 So we gonna, I'm gonna entertain something, but just not right now. How long have you been Young Guy? Young Guy? Man, I've been Young Guy for a long time. 30 years? That was great. I was saying? Man, I've been young guy for a long time. 30 years? That was great.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I told him, we were just talking, I said I'm gonna change my name to Uncle Guy in a minute, man. Okay. I got, hey, I'm getting on up. Now I could, they're gonna be like, that would be crazy, because folks see me, they'll say, you know, you a rapper? I be like, nah.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Then they, I get on stage, and I'm singing some soul, and they be like, damn, you know, I ain't expected. But I kinda kept my name back in the younger days when I was a rapper, man. And then I get on stage and I'm singing some soul and they be like, damn, you know, I ain't expected it. But I kind of kept my name back in the younger days when I was rapping, man. So I jumped into music, my story kind of, you know, similar to his. You know, I've been rolling in the Southern Soul game probably about for the two and a half years now. And Power Social Media, I had a record that, you know, I was singing in the garage and
Starting point is 00:47:01 posted it and changed my life. You know what I'm saying? Instantly. I was singing in the garage and posted it and changed my life instantly. I was tapped in on the rap side of the life here, came up in the church, tried different things as far as me physically doing music. I stepped away from music almost 14 years. So when I finally just made up my mind, get back in the studio, get it rolling, professionally record me a song, sit down and that record you know I'm saying to record later I was driving trucks man I
Starting point is 00:47:27 ain't drove a truck in almost a year and a half now man. So how did y'all connect? Man we we met a couple about two years ago. Yeah my very first show out there in Natchez I think. Yeah. Natchez Mississippi man my first show kind of nervous you know what I'm saying me personally you know I had just started with Sutherland so um bro came he hollered at me you say he gave me that little pep talk whatever you saying I show up my shoulders now I didn't did it he came to me like man like young guy man what up what up cuz I was kind of moving pretty good then you know I'm saying I had a record that was keeping me busy and he was like man what
Starting point is 00:47:57 what what I gotta do go advice can you give me like man you know keep grinding bro you gonna get there one and you gonna know you got it. So when I heard that boost on the ground, I called him. I said, you, get ready to be a rich. You know what I'm saying? You know it when you heard it. You know what I'm saying? I knew it. From the first 10 seconds of the song,
Starting point is 00:48:15 I was like, man, this finna go crazy. And now I just see you looking on social media, Shaq dancing too, and you got dog. Yeah, like, man, that is crazy. You know what I'm saying? So it's a blessing, and man, I just, I'm proud of my brother, and we just trying to keep it going. All right, well let's get into the joint you know.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Boots on the ground, 803 Fresh is here. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. That was Boots on the Ground from 803 Fresh in the building, Charlamagne? What inspired Boots on the Ground though? Like when you sat down and said, heard that beat and you're like,
Starting point is 00:48:46 this is what I want to write about. Man, I tell the story all the time man. I had a show in Phoenix City. It was in the back of the van, whatever. I had a chance to experience my first trail ride. Went to the trail ride, you know what I'm saying, a couple of ladies had fans and whatever, it was hot. So, you know, they got fans.
Starting point is 00:48:59 So, I got a chance to go to my second trail ride and I didn't see no fans. So, I posed the question, where them fans at? You know what I'm saying? So with Boots on the Ground, Boots on the Ground is already a line, that's terminology you're saying. So you know when they say Boots on the Ground, you know, we're about to have a party, we just touch down type of deal.
Starting point is 00:49:14 So I just really merged the two ideas and it became a good marriage. What's a trail ride for the people who don't know? Listen man, trail rides is you know ATVs, horses you're saying, that line dance, it's a whole combination of all good things. It's definitely a culture tonight, really just an event. And that's why I feel like Southern Soul and line dancing is a perfect mixture. It's a great marriage.
Starting point is 00:49:36 It piggybacks off of one, piggybacks off of the other. And if you ever caught that Trap Ride down there, man, I promise you you're going to have a good time. You might get a little dusty, but I promise you you're gonna have a good time. Now, every time you make a song, is it a line song now? No. Okay. See, that's one thing I didn't want to get caught in.
Starting point is 00:49:50 I didn't want to get caught in, you know, just being the line dance guy. The line dance guy. At the boot, at the boot. Yeah, I'm done. You see? Yo. So, you know, I've been thinking about, you're saying names for like an EP or album, whatever you're saying, and I really wanted to be
Starting point is 00:50:05 Versatility because I want to show them on all skills. I got different skills music Yeah, but you could do it like remember how Jermaine Dupree did back in the day He like he had the all the what was it called the beat all-stars? We were just one album just doing all the uptempos. You're talking about like the like shorty swing my way He had a whole album of that and then he had a whole album different ways of doing things So you could do that like an anthem like that because your HBCU is gonna be crazy this week spring flings homecomings They should start booking you now to try to get the cheapest prices possible You probably booked
Starting point is 00:50:34 I got like schedule correct That's lit Yeah, that's what's up man I know you don't want to just fall into the line dance, you know genre of music But it's like nobody has made any they're great since like the five that we got But none since then and it's like it's it's kind of hard to do like, you know what I mean So for you to just come up with one and just do it Just off of what you felt you got to do that more like I'm tired I tell people like to me, I feel like my opinion I feel like lion dance is like the new disco
Starting point is 00:51:16 Yeah, you know I'm saying it's a big thing in the black culture day You know what I'm saying we just trying to shine light on cuz you got you got people who y'all you know y'all from the city Man, it didn't makeall from the cedar man It didn't make people from the cedar man. I'm gonna go get me some boots About me a fan cowboy hat it just it's a culture that they shine a light on so people can experience So it's just lion dances. It's been around for a while, but like you just got bigger man They got to sell them to South Carolina be 7,000 people out there that you feel me African music to African music has it has it as well. They got African line dances?
Starting point is 00:51:45 They got line dances, like Jerusalem is a line dance. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the ill thing though, the artist, it's not like you created the dance. No, you see, that's the sweetest thing about it too. You said- Oh, you didn't create the dance?
Starting point is 00:51:57 No, the people- Oh, I didn't know that. They choose it, they choose it whether it's gonna be, you said, a line dance to it or not, you know what I'm sayin'? So when they see that on TikTok, it was like four or five dances, different dances to it, you know what I'm saying? I reposted one, shouts out to Trey Little. When I posted it, everybody took on, you know what I'm saying, to that one because it was real easy, it wasn't Tamiya-ish. You know, Tamiya got about eight or five dances. I'm still confused with that one.
Starting point is 00:52:19 That's a line dance? Yeah, it's a line dance. They do a line dance to it. Yeah, Tamiya's line dance. That's a line dance. I ain't gonna lie, it's like the cursive of line dancing. You feel me? You know what I'm saying? I'm so confused.
Starting point is 00:52:29 You got it with that one? You gotta be a pro for that one. Yeah, that's definitely not intermediate. Anyway. So you had to learn your own dance, basically. Yeah, and I can't dance with it. So you just picked that one and was like, this is the one we rocking with?
Starting point is 00:52:42 Cause if 20 people said different dances That's why I said and everybody be in sync the people chose it man Boost on the ground was not intended to be a live dance song. It was just blessed to be that way You with the fan bang bang Something that you do when you hide You know and I didn't know that fans like the fans were like a big part of the you know The the trail ride scene until I made the song with it and now he's like, you know 10 20 different songs with fans now, you're saying so it definitely is a part like a big important part of the culture So I think I just revived it. Why not the church fan? I'm sure fancy
Starting point is 00:53:17 They use the church. I think the sales on church fans is out of all time high right now. Hmm. Yeah Church fans. You know Amazon, when I first came up with the song or whatever, they were just clacking fans. If you go on Amazon right now, they're boots on the ground fans. Louis Vuitton got fans. Oh, I saw that.
Starting point is 00:53:37 No, I think I got it. I saw it. That was some bullsh**. Yeah, man. But that's when I knew y'all was getting out. I was like, oh, they out of here now. Chibu got boots on the ground fans. You know what I'm saying? So it definitely has been impactful to the culture, man. I'm just proud I knew y'all was getting out, I was like, oh they outta here now. Yeah, T-MU got Boots On The Ground fans, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:53:45 So it definitely has been impactful to the culture, man. I'm just proud to be a part of it. They gonna be waiting forever for them T-MU fans, I'll tell you that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got a thousand out there right now, but anyway. Everybody gonna be waiting for new music. Do you got more after Boots On The Ground?
Starting point is 00:53:59 Let me tell you something, I got so much music, you know what I'm saying? And I got music like before, I got a previous catalog, I got five like before I got a you know a previous catalog I got five songs that I dropped but I'm like I said I've only been in a year and a half You know I mean but as far as the catalog I got widespread catalog that's getting ready to come It was just the time we were waiting on you know I mean so I think it's a perfect time for everybody to see me And you know what I got to offer versatility is coming. What's the toughest challenge about being an artist from South Carolina? The weight that's on my back, you know what I'm saying? Because not only do I stand, I mean yeah, loosing the ground is for me, but I stand
Starting point is 00:54:30 with a lot of weight that I'm carrying as far as like Southern Soul as a whole. See this is what my main part is, and I ain't gonna lie, this is the reason why I came here, you said, I want to make Southern Soul that main genre. You know, it's been, you know, sublime, like it's's been under tone for so long. And that shit that's been going on, you got greats that came through that shit that's been going on, Tyrone Dapes, Marvin C, James Brown, Muddy Waters, all these guys that come under that shit that's been going on, man, and it hasn't really had a catalyst for it, it hasn't been brought to the front. So I take myself to be a martyr in that. I want to be able to
Starting point is 00:55:02 display it as being a main genre and showing that we come with a united front. I got Sharmika Jo Quell out there, you're saying grown ass woman. I got Frank Johnson out there, you can hate on me. I got Young Guy right here, you know what I'm saying? Like Take Heed, these are all very impactful songs to the culture. And when I bring my boots on the ground,
Starting point is 00:55:19 I want to bring them as well. So that's probably like the biggest thing as far as like, you know, I'm carrying that weight and I want to be a good advocate for them as like, you know, I'm carrying that weight and I wanna be a good advocate for them. Well, you know, you gotta get yourself all the way through the door first. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:55:30 Like that's why I think a lot of people fall through a little bit because they wanna represent for the whole state and they wanna bring everybody with them. And usually all those people end up weighing them down before you get to where you need to be. I think that with me, how I present myself, how I carry myself, I carry myself as you know, hey
Starting point is 00:55:45 He's a strong front by himself, you know, it's just I want to be a good representative for him You know, it's not that I'm putting them up You're saying the way that I walk my character is what it puts it out there like oh, oh I like him Let me see what they got going on. You know, I'm saying I let my walk you say speak from you got to just to dance We leave man. You got a show Who's gonna lead us? You gonna lead us? Man, I tried something. I tell you, I couldn't dance over here.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Look. Goddamn, who's gonna do the dance, man? Look, look, look, look. That's why he low-key picked the easiest one. When everybody was telling him to dance. Come on. Push out. Push out.
Starting point is 00:56:15 What's up, you guys? I got it, I got it. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you.

Starting point is 01:03:50 The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. But it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Man, I feel like I ain't never talked about Unc this much in my whole life. Unc is Shannon Sharp for those who don't know. Nobody talked about him this much.
Starting point is 01:04:09 That's sad. That man has been out here doing great work for the last couple of years. The fact that you said that says a lot. The fact that you said that says a lot. Nah, I ain't never been in the media every day. Just saying. Because I've always said that Shannon Sharp was who he was. I watch and we report on Club Che Che all the time up here
Starting point is 01:04:25 But what I'm saying is we've been spending a lot of time sir The cat Williams Let's say that we talked about you in here. We talked about a lot of club Che Che, but we're gonna continue forward Okay, because what we what the piece that we're about to talk about right now is Donna Rollins, son's mom, her name is Stephanie George. She used to be on bad girls club. She came out and posted a video, basically calling Shannon Sharpe's BS for a conversation he had with Donna Rollins about her and her age. Let's take a listen. Really wanted to address something that has really been bothering me for the past couple
Starting point is 01:05:04 of months. My son's dad is a comedian and an actor and he did an interview with a man by the name of Shannon Sharp on his podcast. Now on that podcast, Shannon Sharp did a lot of digging and my son's dad and I broke up over six years ago. For him to ever try to bring me up or a family dynamic or the age gap is very, very shocking to me. Now, last night I was on threads and I saw his name trending and he's being accused of really horrific things. The girl was 19 when it started. Wow, you were really projecting.
Starting point is 01:05:37 You went digging and you found the fact that we have a huge age gap and you highlighted that and you tried to make fun of it, but you were actually really living that life. If not worse, I just feel like if you live in a glass house, please don't throw stones. Now, a lot of these moments that begin to go revival where anything in dealing with age conversation, women, whatever, of course, people are going back and are grabbing clips and are recirculating. Now this clip, even the Monique clip when she was telling Shannon Sharp about young girls and not dating them.ating. Now this clip, even the Monique clip when she was telling Shannon Sharp about young girls and not dating them. Now the conversation that Stephanie George
Starting point is 01:06:09 is talking about with Darnell, we have that as well, let's take a listen. She's so young that she could pop off. Yeah, I'm like, she 23, Darnell, 20, why you didn't date her mom? Why you go for the, Darnell. That sounds crazy. You like them young though no don't do that I don't like I don't like a young I like what I love yes she's a lot lot lot lot lot younger
Starting point is 01:06:37 than me but that's what it was why you hating on me where y'all be that forever 21 you know what I mean what you be the 23 year old cuz I mean hey 23 I think I'm a couple years older you I go 33 so I just need to know wow so moments like that is what is recirculating by the way that moment right there that means all jokes about Shana Sharpe are fair all jokes about Shana Sharpe and him with the 19 year old are absolutely fair. And that Dianette Rollins interview was January 15th of this year.
Starting point is 01:07:09 And she probably felt the way because he was cracking jokes and then like she said, you can't crack jokes and make it seem like you look down on it and then when your mess come out it's like, oops. Damn. Yeah. Well, the internet is interneting. That's also why you can't just do what your producers tell you to do.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Like when you're in these interviews and you're in these conversations, like the things that you say have to be coming from you and coming from what you believe in your heart. You can't just be saying what's on your card and what your producer tell you to do. Well you know you should ask them about this and you should make jokes about that.
Starting point is 01:07:42 No, they gotta come from you. Yeah, I mean the question was there, but he thought it was funny. He thought he could crack jokes. I was ready to say, I don't even think that was like a call from the producer. I think Shannon just went and just had fun. He thought it was funny.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Why would you do that if you know that you like younger women? But he didn't expect for what he into to come out. Like he didn't expect for his stuff to be put on French street. He always talks about like a younger girl. Yeah, but younger in 1920 is, I mean, it's younger, but you know, the gap is gapping. Yeah, he just didn't expect for nothing that he got going on to come out. All right, cool.
Starting point is 01:08:16 I think that's what it was. Well, speaking of people sitting down and having some conversations, Michelle Obama, her podcast, have you guys watched any episodes? No, I've seen a couple clips from it going viral. I've seen clips. So good. So she just had a conversation with Taraji P. Henson. And of course, they get back into more in detail about her deciding not to show up with Barack Obama and certain things and that leading to people thinking that she was, you know, having issues. But before they got into that conversation, they talked about the power of no. And Michelle Obama
Starting point is 01:08:42 talks about her going to therapy and learning the power of no. Let's take a listen to that. I had to convince myself that I had done enough after all that I had done in the world. I still felt a guilt that maybe, maybe I needed to do a little bit more. I'm at this stage in life where I have to define my life on my terms and going to therapy just to work all that out. Like what happened that eight years that we were in the White House? What did that do to me internally? My soul, we made it through. We got out alive. I hope we made the country proud. My girls, thank God, are whole. But what happened to me? Right? Right? Right. And going through therapy is
Starting point is 01:09:26 getting me to look at the fact that maybe, maybe finally I'm good enough. I didn't even realize the time. You I wouldn't have time for the second clip. We want to bring it back in here. But that power of no and going to therapy is what she said made her say I'm not going to none of that stuff. I don't want to go to inauguration. Jimmy Carter, the funeral. She didn't want to do it. She just didn't want to do it She didn't have it in her to do it I wonder how that dynamic works right because that is your husband and sometimes in relationships if you are married I'm sure Charlemagne and Jess, you know, sometimes you don't want to do things with your spouse
Starting point is 01:09:57 But you do it because right he's the most to them or they have to and I'm sure the same thing with you I'm sure he doesn't want to go to some things what he asked her because you was why yeah But your boundaries are your boundaries and I don't the same thing with you. I'm sure he doesn't want to go to some things but he asked you because you his wife. Yeah but your boundaries are your boundaries and I don't care if it's your husband I don't care if it's your wife you know if you don't want to do something you should not have to do it. Especially something like that. Yeah but it's boundaries but if you're the ex-president and you're showing up and I have to go I would think my wife would be like just taking on the chin and be like I'll go too. I want to bring this back in the next hour. What if she don't want to? But wait let's hold
Starting point is 01:10:24 this for the next hour. I want y'all. I think that's being a couple. Listen, there's more because she also talks about how people get on her when she make her own decisions, even to talk about her relationship and not going to these places and they drag her for it. Let's bring this back in the next hour because I knew y'all would have opinions because all y'all be going and having to do stuff y'all don't want to do.
Starting point is 01:10:42 You are so right, Lauren. Where you had to go recently? To pick avocados. Wow! They said she was at the flea market yesterday. Wow! No, it was the farmer's market. I had to go to the farmer's market. The flea market. The farmer's market. Picking avocados, drinking tequila. Y'all crazy. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. We wanted to know how you came up with the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Tell us! Tell us! Because you're mean. I am not! What did I do? I made donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here. That is why Sharlana made it here.
Starting point is 01:11:20 We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we lay off. He never would say it. You don't give a damn, don't throw it home. Hey! Charlemagne, give it to him! Give it to him! On The Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlemagne the guy, he's a donkey. That's what he is. Motherf***** dog.
Starting point is 01:11:35 Don't throw it home. Oh man, Charlemagne, you giving Donkey the day to who now? Donkey the Day for Thursday, April 24thth goes to a 27 year old Ohio man named Micaiah I. Swinder. Now who in here had to wash dishes as part of their chores growing up? Raise your hand. Okay who in here enjoyed washing dishes as a child? Raise your hand. I'm lying. Yeah I know you're lying. All your kids. He likes drying the dishes. He don't like washing them. Well Jess, when you didn't want to wash dishes, what did you tell Miss Robin?
Starting point is 01:12:10 I don't want to wash dishes, ma'am, but I will so I won't get popped. Okay. Did you ever have an argument with her about not wanting to wash dishes? Hell no. Because you know she bust that ass. Period, yes. Okay. Envy, I'm sure you make the kids wash dishes.
Starting point is 01:12:21 They all raise their hands? Yes. Have they ever rebelled against you and said, nah, dad, that ain't happening? No. What about Matty, Logie? No. None of them?
Starting point is 01:12:30 No. I don't believe that. Not a Logan buck back at least once. Definitely didn't. Okay. I don't believe you. Well, those are all constructive, productive ways to deal with your kids when you want them to do
Starting point is 01:12:41 what it is you want them to do when you want them to wash dishes. But even, you know, if you do that, okay, if you do that, some kids still ain't going. You know what I'm saying? Some kids just not gonna do what it is you want them to do. And Makaya I. Swinder is one of those kids. See, a dispute that started over dishes ended tragically. Let's go to WWNY7 News for the report, please.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Nearly the first thing out of Makaya Swindler's mouth on the phone with dispatchers and admission. I'm not going to lie, I just killed my father. Wait, what? I killed my dad. What do you mean by you killed your dad? Like he's dead. We're learning what led up to the violent incident. Marysville police had been to this house earlier in the day responding to a dispute between
Starting point is 01:13:23 Makiya and his father, 59, 59 year old Joe Swindler. A police report shows the issue started over a dispute over doing the dishes. This caused a verbal conflict. Hours later another call to the home from Micaiah who said he stabbed his father with a knife. The dispatcher asked him why God told me to God told you to yes yes ma'am okay I had orders kya Swindler was in court this morning where prosecutors called him dangerous and requested that he be held and you wish me to consider sometimes I wonder if these are the effects of gentle parenting sometimes I wonder if we have to bring back beatings okay I used to have to pick a switch nothing makes you understand the effects of gentle parenting. Sometimes I wonder if we have to bring back beatings.
Starting point is 01:14:05 Okay, I used to have to pick a switch. Nothing makes you understand the consequences of your actions like having to pick your own switch because you know you did something wrong and now your parent or grandparent is leaving it up to you to decide what your punishment is. And if you go and bring back a switch that's not big enough, now they go get the switch
Starting point is 01:14:18 and you don't want them to go get the switch. So it just gave you a level of accountability for the things that you did and when you get beat with a switch you picked you really understand that you caused this on yourself. Jess you said you never bucked back at Ms. Robin because you knew she would what? Beat my ass. That's all I'm saying. Now I don't know if whippings would have stopped this young man, Makaiya from being a stone-cold killer but I highly doubt his dad wanted to go out like this.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Okay Makaiya said he put his dad out to go out like this actually son I just wanted you to watch the dishes okay now when this young man Makai says God told me to one of my favorite movies growing up was frailty you should watch it if you never have so I understand how that could be true but Makai until anyone out there listening to me let me tell you something whenever
Starting point is 01:15:04 you think God is you know telling you to do something that you know will cause hurt to somebody or you know it'll end up with somebody being dead or end up with you in prison for the rest of your life please understand that Satan has a kingdom too okay I think we often forget that if we give Satan attention he will give us direction. Micaiah somewhere along the the way, you gave your attention to Satan. You submitted your will to him and he told you to kill your father and now you charged with one count of murder.
Starting point is 01:15:32 And where you going? Chores are not optional, okay? You're gonna be cleaning, you're gonna be doing food preparation, you're gonna be doing laundry, washing other people's drawers, you're gonna be doing maintenance and you're probably gonna be doing what Kanye was doing
Starting point is 01:15:46 to his cousin until the age of 14. And the irony is, you might get stabbed and killed if you don't. Please give Makaiya Icewinder the biggest he-huh. He-huh, he-huh. And it's crazy that he didn't wanna take his dad orders to simply wash the dishes, but he'll listen to the voice in his head
Starting point is 01:16:03 that he said was God telling him to kill his dad. Yeah. Killing his dad took way more energy. Yo, what is his last name? Swinder. You want to play a game? Yeah. Let's play a game of Guess What Races! Okay, all right. Makai Swinder of Ohio killed his father because of a dispute over washing the dishes. Jess Hilarious, guess what? Racist! I want to say white but your name Makaya, mixed. But really black and white. Do we have a mixed one? We just gotta play more at the same time. He's gonna play more than at the same time. He's gonna play some drinks. Play some J-Cole.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Okay. DJ Envy, Macias Winder, killed his father over a dispute over washing dishes. Guess what? RACIS! Swipe. Shake it off, shake it off. Well, I'm gonna
Starting point is 01:17:04 be honest with you. Oh boy. Envy's wrong. Oh, he's not what? I don't know if Jess is wrong. Let me see. Jess might be half right, because I don't know if he's... He look Miami black. He black. Let me see. But he could be mixed. Oh, I'm just saying. Makai gave it away? Makai, yeah. Is he up there?
Starting point is 01:17:22 Yeah, yeah. He definitely black. He got a Rod Wave-ish look to him. Yes, he does. Yes. gave it away Okay, yeah, Maki was was a black man from Florida See he said Ohio black, that doesn't know black people in Ohio, but I'm like Ohio and then he killed his parents That's like a white thing to be washed.

Oh god y'all put me in this position. So what's happening is me and my mom, my husband, we all live together and my mother and my husband we bumping heads like the arguments and it's mainly about my daughter. So my husband is one of those dads that,
Starting point is 01:18:47 he's a good dad, but he does not pay attention to everything that happens and everything my daughter is doing. And my mother feeds that and she's very opinionated and she talks about it. Okay. And she'll say something to him and then step up heads and I just wanna like stay in the background and not say nothing at all.
Starting point is 01:19:07 But this is my husband. This is my mother. So is she a is your dad? I mean, not your dad. Is your husband a first time dad? No. But he has never been like his other daughter. She's older and she grew up in Florida. So yeah. So it's different. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:28 Now, do y'all live with your mother or do your mother live with y'all? Nah, nah, she lives with us. So let me make that very clear. This was my house. Okay, I got you. I totally got you. The thing is, that's kind of hard. I ain't about to say put mama out, but it's like you have you sat down
Starting point is 01:19:45 and had a conversation with her yet about boundaries and what is going to fly in the house and what you wish she she has to respect your house. She absolutely has to respect your husband. You know, that's y'all house. Y'all don't live with her. She lives with y'all and while she is the grandmother and the mother and your mother, And while she is the grandmother and the mother and your mother She still there still is a line that she should not cross, you know, you're her child, but you're no longer a child Yeah, and that's the thing. She doesn't really get So I can't and I don't believe she probably could You probably could but it's good help for me because I told y'all earlier I worked three jobs.
Starting point is 01:20:29 I got you. And yeah, it's just help here. Like I have helped cooking, I got help cleaning, I got help with the financials. Well it still could be worked out in a way where it's some type of compromise. Y'all are still three adults, you know, and like I said, you know, although when people get in their old age, they set in their ways, it's still she gonna have to compromise because this is not her house. You know, she's a tenant in y'all house, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:21:01 And yeah, she is the nanny and she has roles and duties and she you know Nobody do it like mama but it's still boundaries and she has to understand that because if the shoe were on the other foot and you Lived in her and her husband's house. There would certainly be boundaries. You know what I'm saying? She got to put our soul in your shoes So just sit down and have a conversation what I feel like you haven't yet because she's still mom and you don't want to disappoint Her or disrespect her but you're grown So just sit down and have that conversation with her. I feel like you haven't yet because she's still mom and you don't want to disappoint her or disrespect her but you're grown and y'all are three adults.
Starting point is 01:21:29 Y'all got to make that work or the kids going to know something too and that's not really good to be doing in front of the kids fighting, arguing. Yeah, you're right. But I do need to have a conversation. I'm just like, I don't know why I'm nervous. Because that's your mom girl and she probably used to beat your ass when you was younger Yeah, she's definitely probably that type of mom that don't play but it's like alright my now I'm the mom who you know who don't play

Tam, it sounds like you got us on Bluetooth. Can you take us off Bluetooth for speaker? Oh yeah, my bad. Okay, is that better? Perfect. What's your question for Jess? Jess, I need you to tell me, okay, so let me start from here.
Starting point is 01:26:00 My daughter is in seventh grade, right? And she has these little girls at school that keep messing with her just because she's pretty and they just bald headed and jealous. I want you to tell me if I'm crazy or not or should I go and roll myself into school and go whip all of you. You want to enroll yourself in school to whip all of their asses? Why not? Are they in high school? No they have no school. This middle school? Are you crazy? Are they in high school? Um, no, they're in middle school. This is middle school? Are you crazy? Yes, they keep messing with my baby. And I know I'm not going to do it for real, but it's just like, it's like what do you do? Ah, well, unfortunately, see, I'm a comedian.
Starting point is 01:26:37 It's not much you can do, it's like because, huh? Me as a comedian, I just would teach my kid how to roast, but that's the thing though. You know, everybody ain't got that gift to just roast everybody. She got to know how to embarrass them without getting drunk. But she's like very like, she just doesn't like confusion. She doesn't like confusion. She will if she has to because I see her and her sister all the time going at it.
Starting point is 01:27:02 But it's just like she doesn't want to get in trouble at school. And I'm like, listen, the only person you get in trouble from is me or your father. They can't do nothing to you. Whip their ass. And then she's probably not confrontational. You know what I'm saying? Now what you see in the house, her and her sister, that's who she lived with. That's who she grew up with.
Starting point is 01:27:18 You know, so that's the sibling rivalry is always going to be there. You know what I mean? But school is different. It's not how it used to be. These days, man, kids are very much cruel, like very much crueler than they used to be. Then you got the internet influencing things, and then it is different. So I don't want to say-
Starting point is 01:27:35 It bothers me because I'm not the one. When I was in school, I'm not going to let you bully me or bully nobody else. That's right. That's why it really bothers me. Yeah, I know. But we don't, unfortunately, we don't really have those people who stick up
Starting point is 01:27:46 for others anymore because everybody be trying to mind their business. You know what I mean? Everybody's so busy recording or trying to you know get the likes and stuff get everything on social media. I don't want to tell you take her out of school. Is she crying? She's like I don't want to go back or like what? No, she's not crying.
Starting point is 01:28:03 She's just like she comes home and she's like my you know't want to go back or like, No, she's not crying. She's just like, she comes home and she's like, you know, we're really close. Like that's not one of my closest people in the world. So she comes home and I'm into up tonight. What happened at school today? Tell me what's going on. I want to know the key. As soon as I pick her up from school, tell me.
Starting point is 01:28:17 And it takes everything in me not to go up to that school. And cause I want to talk to a principal, a guidance counselor or something, because it's just like, y'all just allow it. It's your problem. So you haven't talked to anybody up there yet? Any authorities at the school? Yes I have. Oh you have? Yeah I have but it's just kind of like yeah we live in Florida so it's like Charler-Rey
Starting point is 01:28:35 Center. Oh man yeah you might just go ahead and take her out then back or she or or you just teach her how to roast that's what you gotta do She gotta turn school into Wild'n Out. She gotta turn school into that playground and really, really tell bitches that they bald-headed. You know what I'm saying? Like she can't just, like no, you gotta teach her how to like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:55 I mean, she might get jumped, but that's the thing. Cause the last thing a bald-headed bitch wanna be told is you bald-headed. You know what I mean? Cause they already know that. I've been there. You know what I mean? That's the last thing I wanted to hear.
Starting point is 01:29:04 But if they're just really hating on her because she pretty she really got us She got to learn how to throw that sauce on just a thousand percent right Jess is is right We had that problem with Madison and we had to have a roast contest at the crib and teach her how to roast where she You know those them things right back and like she said because she can't come running crying every day cuz it's gonna make it worse That's right. So she got to learn how to roll back. She don't cry every day. She doesn't even tell me unless I ask her because I'm like really involved. I'm on her Instagram, her TikTok. I'm on everything. I want to know. So I asked. I'm the one that you know tried to figure out. She doesn't really want to tell me but because she knows that me and her father
Starting point is 01:29:39 are kind of great. Yep and then y'all gonna make it a little worse you know because y'all are adult Floridians so y'all already already crazy Drinking the water you crazy Whatever you teach it arose don't teach a roast that will come from you like your mama a ho like you can't do things Like that that they know came from you. Yeah, but you can say like that's why your mama Java Toyota like things like that That's right, you can't say nothing that's why your mama drive a Toyota. Like things like that are hurt. Like, man. It's crazy that this segment is called- Well, I drive a Toyota. I drive a Kia. I can't say he drive a Toyota.

I mean, but your other kids are here and Justin didn't bring the baby for me. I didn't. I thought it was going to be too many babies for you because he say he was going to bring baby Peyton and I was going to bring baby Marley. I'm trying to be a mom of twins.
Starting point is 01:31:35 I don't think you could handle it. Yeah, you don't have no kids. So going from no kids to a three year old and an eight month old is crazy. Yeah, you would have been, you would have had problems. And I see how you carry your phone and laptop at the same time, no. No. Two phones. My goodness, all right, well let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Starting point is 01:31:50 Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell us, man! She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets to details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on this. That's sound beings. The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Starting point is 01:32:04 Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. It's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right. So the last hour we begin to have this conversation because Michelle Obama has been talking about the fact that she's been not happy about certain things and she's choosing herself in her relationship and impersonal. So you all started talking about what it's like to have to do things for your spouse that
Starting point is 01:32:28 you don't want to do. Michelle Obama talked about this a bit because she spoke out about not going to certain events. What you laughing at Envy? Nothing. What y'all planning? We ain't planning nothing. Nah. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:32:40 She's talking about not wanting to go and do certain things when she's with Barack Obama. Let's take a listen to Michelle Obama on skipping events. I'm learning some of those messages that I've been saying to myself. And so practicing no in a very different way intentionally. My decision to skip the inauguration, you know, what people don't realize or my decision to make choices at the beginning of this year that suited me were met with such ridicule and criticism, like people couldn't believe that I was saying no for any other reason that they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart. And it took everything in my power to not do the thing that was right
Starting point is 01:33:26 or that was perceived as right. I had to basically trick myself out of it and it started with not having anything to wear. So I was like, if I'm not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team, I don't even want to have a dress ready. Yeah. She talked about having that dress ready ready She said she had been so triggered to have to just do stuff for everybody else that she would keep clothes You know, I mean like there was no self-care. There was no boundaries as we talked about earlier So question for the room. I know y'all have to do things. Y'all don't want to do in y'all marriages, right? But she's Michelle Obama. Is it ten times worse? Does she does she not get the no? I mean every relationship is different and people, you know, function how they want to
Starting point is 01:34:07 function in their relationship. But there's times when I need to go to places and I'm sure my wife would rather stay home, but she goes because we're a team. And I know there's times where, you know, she needs to go someplace where I don't want to go, but we're a team and we do, you know, we go. It is what it is. Do you get that like, like, because it seems like a bit it started to affect her mentally. There's nothing wrong with spouses having boundaries, especially if those things will
Starting point is 01:34:32 disturb her peace, if they will disturb her mental if they do disturb her emotionally. And honestly, if I'm talking to her and she tells me how she feels about a situation and why she doesn't want to go, if she feels very strongly about it, I'm going to ask myself, well damn, maybe I don't need to be there either because that's my significant other. That's my better half. She may see something that I don't see. So I don't have a problem with it. Well, President Barack Obama couldn't say he wasn't going to the inauguration. I get that. He's a grown man. He can do whatever he wants to do.
Starting point is 01:35:00 He was going to the inauguration. That's a choice. And I mean, like I said, every relationship is different, but I'm sure with you Jess, there's times where you gotta go some places. Chris is like, hi, effort out go. And I'm sure there's times, the opposite, you like. But if it disturbs your peace, it's one thing that you just not wanna go
Starting point is 01:35:13 because you don't wanna go. But if you're like, I am morally against this. I know this is gonna disturb my peace. This is gonna disturb my mental health. And you still force the person to go? Come on now. Well, one thing about Chris, he likes the gun range. I don't like to go, on now well one thing about Chris he likes the gun range I I I don't like to go but I do go because that's something that he really likes
Starting point is 01:35:30 he likes golfing I don't like to go because I don't even know what I'm doing but it's boring out there but it's like alright yeah you know yeah it's like alright I'll get cute pictures but like he'd be really into it but I go because that makes him feel good that I'm right there Don't I act like I want to hit them balls? You know I'm saying I'm like and I think that's dope But none of those things disturb her no they don't disturb my piece They're not disturbing you mentally but what he's saying is what every was saying is like yo Your husband was the president of the United States. It's not a soul yo it is a soul We see how miserable Melania look, okay? All right, cool. You know why?
Starting point is 01:36:07 Because she be going places she don't wanna go. She doesn't sit around at home. She is the first lady. But Jess, you have a new baby, you have your older son, you are here at work, you're traveling the road. There are some days where you just like, yo, I need to breathe. And Michelle Obama's point is
Starting point is 01:36:20 she wasn't even taking that time. She was just going, going, going and carrying everything because women, that's what we're taught to do. We can't say no. But also, we're acting. We know what Michelle was saying about President Donald Trump on the campaign trail. Maybe she didn't wanna look like a hypocrite.
Starting point is 01:36:36 Maybe she didn't wanna be calling this man a threat to democracy, calling this man a fascist, but then sitting there cheesing in his face like the rest of them. Because we all gave them hell for doing it because they all look silly. I gave Michelle props to them like Michelle doing it, because they all look silly. I gave Michelle props, I'm like, Michelle's the only one
Starting point is 01:36:46 that stood on business. That's fine, but nobody had to cheese his face. Even though you're forced to be there because of your country, you didn't have to give him a high five and poke him in the belly. You ain't had to do that at all. If Michelle was there and her face is anything but cheesy, now that's a whole story.
Starting point is 01:36:59 And she talked about that too, how she gets dragged when things are not perfect. When she feels a certain way. When she talks about her and Obama's relationship, she gets dragged. And she said she's tired of taking the high road all the time. She don't wanna. She said. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, she doesn't want to teach her daughters that I'd much rather hit after Michelle Obama than you should have the audio
Starting point is 01:37:33 thing go get the audio. No, we have another clip. But don't play. I want to get to something else. Taking over my segment. It's good. It's good. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:37:42 Just. It's not Michelle Obama related. It's R.E. Lennox. Okay, what happened? R.E. Lennox is no longer on Dreamville, right? The story came out that she's leaving Dreamville. Don't with your fans.
Starting point is 01:37:52 I want to get this in because when the story dropped, people thought that she released this announcement. It did not come from her. I'm told by source close and they want people to know that that did not come from her and she does not feel good about how it was released. And that is a big part of the reason of why she wanted to be separated from Dreamville. She wants control back over herself and over her music and the story that was published
Starting point is 01:38:12 was not Ari, Lennox Whistle ever, it came from somewhere else and she's still signed to Interscope which is a UMG subsidiary, right? So she's still going to be releasing music and doing different things but that Dreamville announcement was not her. Things are amicable or so she's still gonna be releasing music and doing different things but that Dreamville announcement was not her things are amicable or so she thought that's it she's that needs to be said well good for us she's dope she's dope and she didn't feel comfortable in she got out and she's doing things the way she wants to do it she was a control narrative and luck to her absolutely yeah and happy birthday to Kaylani it's her birthday too
Starting point is 01:38:42 you know you're speaking of singers she She Mexican, no she not Mexican. No, why you trying to make everybody Mexican, yo? I think she likes everybody Mexican. You know you got a Mexican birthday calendar and you know all the Mexican birthdays. Cedric the Entertainer is not Mexican. He's naive black, he's 61 though, he needed that birthday shout out.
Starting point is 01:39:00 So she know all the comedians and all the Mexican birthdays. That's on brand for Jessil Aricus. Why't you say Chris likes to go to the gun range? He opened up his eyes like that. It looked like he was about to you gotta watch him. Hey, I know I do He is the clown. He's trying to do a right on her. No, he don't know where I live at.
