yeah, I like seeing them together, too. They got a good energy about each other. Plus, man, you know, I feel like the brat doesn't get enough credit she deserves

for being the hip-hop trailblazer that she is. You know, the first solo female rapper that ever go platinum. Just think about that for a second. When we talk about hip-hop history books and somebody says who's the first female rapper to ever go platinum?

Not a group, just solo artist. It is the brat. So she paved the way for all these ladies that's selling a whole lot of records right now. So salute to her and Jemadne DePry. So I can't wait to talk to the brat. Plus, she's had a great, you know, just evolution. You know, going from artists, still an artist, but, you know, doing radio and Disnation and all that stuff like that.

Now she got a book out. And the brat never sold sex. That was not her thing. Oh, never talked about sex? She's not. She took about it. She did this herself as wearing next to nothing and things like that. Yeah, she was very authentic.

You know, she was very tom-boys, but she still talked about that thing. Yeah. You know, I remember when her being on King Magazine, that was it King Magazine. It was King Magazine. Yeah, when you finally saw her look on their baggy clothes. Yeah, that was years after. She always been pretty to me. Yeah, so we're going to kick it with him.

To play the King Magazine. Why we don't do a documentary? I know it, that would be a good documentary on. King Magazine? King Magazine fed the streets for years. You hit me. You hear me? Drop on a coupon for King Magazine.

God damn it. Okay. King magazine fed discreet. You hear me? Man, King Magazine was amazing. Think about all them amazing King Magazine covers free and Kelly Rowland and Trina, Melissa Ford. Man, King was something special, man. Yeah, what happened to King?

I don't know. Who on King? I don't know. But I'm going to do some digging. That would be a good documentary. Oh, man. A good audio documentary, then scripted documentary. Yeah.

Audio. Oh, audio? Nobody want hair. I know. But you know you would at first if you get all of the women to talk on it and then, you know, you turn it into a visual. You got to show the covers and behind the scenes footage and how it went down. I didn't even be talking like this over the air. You know what I like to do.

I just like to make things happen. All right. All right. Well, let's get the show cracker. We got front page news. Mimi will be joining us with Mimi at, uh, yes? Minnesota. She in Minnesota right now.

I'm asking her. She got there last night. She called you. Yeah, she did. I'm checking on. I'm making sure she safe today. So, yeah. All right.

Let's play one of my favorite records of all time. I was riding in the work listening to this this morning, man. Sounds of blackness, optimistic. It's Black History Month, David. That's right. Turn your radios up. It's the breakfast club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jace. Alarrius. Sholomey and the guy, we're on the breakfast club. I would be wanting to know what they was doing when they was recording this. Can you imagine going back in time and just seeing what was the vibe in the studio?

What was their energy like? That would be crazy. Were they doing drugs? What? Dr. What? They were praying. Meditated.

They were praying and meditating. It's like, what? Maybe Sage. What, bought that out? No, no drugs. Oh, my God. All right. Well, let's get in some front page news.

We're having technical difficulties with Mimi right now. For some reason, it is not working. What you mean? It's not working. She's in Minneapolis, and I guess the setup is we're getting a lot of feedback. Well, I ain't you. Say something, Mimi. Can y'all hear me?

Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, we can hear you back. I was something. It wasn't working a second to go. Oh, we're good. All right. Well, let's go. Good morning.

How y'all doing this morning? Good. Good. Good morning. Okay, so we start this morning on Capitol Hill where lawmakers, they are moving closer to ending that partial government shutdown, but the path forward is still very narrow. So late Monday night, the House Rules Committee, they advance a funding package that would reopen most of the government and set up a high-stakes House vote today. And the bill already passed the Senate, and it would fund most federal agencies for the rest of the year, but only give the Department of Homeland Security two more weeks of funding. Now, that short-term extension is meant to by time for negotiations over immigration enforcement. And Democrats, they say there's no long-term DHS deal without three changes. So first, they want warrants. They want immigration agents to have a judge-signed warrant before entering homes.

Two, they want mask. Democrats want ICE agents, border patrol agents to stop covering their faces during arrest. They say that that removes accountability. And third, they want body cameras. DHS has already agreed to body cameras here in Minneapolis, but say the program could accept. expand, but Democrats want the requirement written into law so it's not left up to the administration. Now, despite those demands, Speaker Mike Johnson says he is confident that the bill will pass,

even as Republicans have a razor-thin margin and can't afford to lose any votes. House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, he was asked whether Democrats would step in if Johnson can't get the votes on his own. This was his response. Let's listen. Republicans are in the majority in this institution and has now been around. for more than 200 years. It's hard to cite an example where in an institution that is majoritarian in nature,

as you know, where the minority steps in to help the majority pass a rule when, as I've indicated to you, there are multiple bills within that rule that we strongly disagree with. Don't come to us unless you actually want to

negotiate on the substance of getting things done that make life better for the American people. So all of this, of course, it follows that public backlash to those aggressive immigration operations, including the killing of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Preti, which derailed the earlier talks and pushed Congress into this shutdown in the first place. And of course, there's the clock. If this funding bill passes, lawmakers will again have about two weeks to reach that longer-term deal before the longer-term homeland security funding runs out again. So many on Capitol Hill, they already expect another short-term funding extension. meaning this fight is far from over. So we will see what happens today.

And there is another election result that I wanted to talk to you guys about. So if you are in Houston this morning, you officially have representation in Congress again. That's after 330 days without it. So Democrat Christian Menafee, he was sworn into the House yesterday, filling the seat left vacant after the long time, the death of longtime lawmaker Sylvester Turner, who passed away last March. But there's another race in Texas that's drawing national attention, even though it wasn't for Congress. So there was a state Senate seat in Tarant County. That is a deep red district near Fort Worth, Texas that flipped blue. State Senate races, they rarely make national news.

But this one is being called a political warning sign. So the Democrat there, Taylor Remit, he won by 14 points in one of the most Republican districts in the country. So to put that in perspective, Donald Trump, he won that same district by 17 points in 2024. Now, Trump, he endorsed the Republican. candidate there. Now, after that loss, he publicly downplayed his connection to her. Let's listen to what he had to say. Democrat won in a special

election in an area that you had won by 17 points. What is your reaction to that? I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran where? In Texas. Special election for legislative. The ninth state Senate seat. I'm not involved in that. That's a local Texas race. You mean I won by 17? And this person lost.

Things like that happened. That was so wild because he was endorsing that individual up until the election and on election day he was endorsing that person. And then act like he didn't know who it was, huh? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think support for MAGA is as strong as people think it is.

They still have a cult like following. I just don't know how big that cult is anymore because if the reason you voted for Trump was the economy, you have to be beyond pissed right now because the rich and Donald Trump keep getting richer and the poor continue to not get a damn thing. Healthcare prices are through the roof. Unemployment has reached a five-year high. You can't be happy. Not at all.

Yeah. And there are polls that say people who voted for him on the immigration bill, you know, funding. They're still not happy with the way immigration looks. So add that to the list, too. So many things that MAGA voted for that they feel that they are not getting. So you were right. He voted. He told his followers to support her three different times on true social.

And now he does not know who she is. I don't even know who it is. Lord have mercy. You won't do that with Melania. Even though the Melania movie flop, you should ask about that. Somebody should ask about that. What do you think about the Melania movie? Not flopping.

Because I don't care what y'all say. I don't care what the headlines say. $7 million in a weekend for a movie that had a $75 million production budget. Come on, man. 75 million. They gave her 40 and another 35 for promotion and marketing. He's going to say, I didn't even hear about that movie. I know.

She had a movie? It had a movie. Malaya had a movie. It wasn't really a movie. It was more of like a real. Long real. All right, y'all. Well, coming up at 7, a second half-time show is popping up for Super Bowl Sunday

Good morning. Yes, we do. I mean, I landed yesterday, and Sherry Shepherd show is canceled. Kelly Clarkson is off the air. We got some exclusive details about what daytime TV is going through right now. and another show announcement. No, we've been talking about it. Things about to get real crazy

for daytime talk show. All right. When we get into all that next, it's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself now. I'm being myself. That's course is my...

I don't know how to know it knows a little bit about everything and everything. A little brown girls look at you and don't even like it. Take me through that. Take me through that. Where's she gone? The latest with long of those.

Take me through that. On the breakfast club. Cal Coobe. Talk to me. Hey, yo, Coobe. I'm sorry,

yo. This thing is said, I hate where y'all be looking fat on award shows. Y'all, because he excluded. That's crazy.

I don't know. You'd be places. Well, yes. Go ahead. Jump right into it. All right, y'all. So yesterday it was announced

that Sherry Shepherd's show will be cancered after four seasons. No. Yes. And it was also announced that Kelly Clarkson's show will be canceled

after seven seasons. And Kelly Clarkson is saying that, you know, she wants to take a step back to focus her family and her kids. Her ex-husband had gotten sick not too long ago.

And this was rumored then that this would happen. But the conversation right now, because I was told by a source that is very in the know that Jennifer Hudson's show is going to be the next cancellation that we hear. No! And the conversation that's happening right now is why. Like, people are trying to figure out what does this mean? A lot of people instantly are like,

oh, my God, the ratings must have not have been good. We talked about this not too long ago here on the Breakfast Club that Sherry Shepard was doing very well in the rating space. So it's Tamron Hall. Like a lot of these shows. Jennifer Hudson from, I talked to one of my friends who worked in the talk show space yesterday. And what they were describing to me was everybody had their own thing. So Jennifer Hudson leads very well on social media stuff because the spirit tunnel.

Like that's a big thing for her. Sherry Shepherd has a younger audience. Tamarin does what she does in her audience, but they're doing well. They're competing. All of that is great. What about the money though? The issue is. What about the revenue?

It's a ratings and the revenue game. Yes. And the revenue is probably more important. 100% and what I was told yesterday so yes the conversation should be the fact that people are getting they're getting fired from their job so before these shows were ending I have friends

in various different daytime talk show spaces all of them has said that in the last six months recently as like the last like 30 days they've seen teams almost be cut in half and I think a lot of it for the shows that are still on air they're trying to figure a way to make the money make sense like if we have less people 150 people

as a staff it's just not a thing anymore when you have podcast and you know people on YouTube that are doing and delivering news for just the same thing that's the world has changed those shows cost a lot to produce it's all about revenue and like you just said nowadays podcasts are cheaper to produce and folks is getting more bang for their buck with the podcast you can take Sherry Shepard

and put her in any location and have her have conversations with somebody yeah just just her and the guest and a couple of cameras what's the replacement though are they been talking about replacement who's coming in do they know do they say I don't know what that looks like yet no I don't have an answer to that yet Do you know when the last episode will be? I don't know that either. I do know that Sherry Shepherd's staff.

Oh. I didn't tell you? No. Oh, okay. When is going to be? I know Sherry Shepherd staff was told yesterday, or the day before yesterday, that this was coming or this was happening.

When is it going to be? Can I ask you a question? Yes. You said Kelly Clarkson was taking a step back because of family issues, but you said Sherry Shepherd is getting canceled. I think what's happening is. I think it's a two-fold thing with Kelly Clarkson.

I think because we also know that like Colbert is going off air, right? Like this is not a new conversation. So what I'm assuming happened and I've been trying to confirm it is that she's okay with taking a step back. Because she's been very vocal about when her ex-husband, when she found out everything that was happening with him, she needed more time to be present for her kids. Right. And then the network is like, okay, well, we've been trying to figure out how to make this make sense financially anyway. So let's come to an agreement. That's what I believe is happening.

But I haven't been able to confirm that. Things can be true at the same time. You know what I mean? Like they, it could have been already in talks to her show was being, you know, canceled or whatever. and then it just happened, that tragedy happened to our family where her ex-husband, you know, he got sick, you know, things like that.

Colbert is done in May, so I would assume that Sherry might be done in the spring. Yeah, we talked about that here, too. Colbert's done May 21st, and to make that clear, Sherry Shepherd's show will be done in the spring. That is a thing. Probably.

Yeah. And you mentioned that cancellation versus Kelly Clarkson stepping away. That's just the way the media does black people. The headline. The headline with Kelly Clarkson is, Kelly Clarkson quit. when she's exit.

She walks away with Sherry. She's canceled. She released the whole statement yesterday. Kelly Clarkson released a statement. And it was very heartfelt. And listen, you know, do what you're able to do. But I was trying to get a statement

from anybody at the Sherry Shepherd show just because she's such a friend in the room and we care about her in that space. I can't get nothing. I mean, she's probably being told she can't say anything or she's going to address it on her own show, which would make sense as well too.

Question if if Jayhug gets canceled, do we steal the Spirit Tunnel? We had the Spirit Tunnel. We had the Spirit of a P. We don't have that many people that work up here, though. We're on Netflix every morning. See, that's the thing, right? All of these shows are not going to be on the air no more,

but, you know, Breakfast Club on Netflix, that will be a morning show in some places, a daytime talk show in some places, a nighttime show in some places, because, you know, it's broadcast all around the world. Right. Yeah. But we don't have that many people that work here to provide the space, like, for the tunnel.

But we had our own spirit tunnel at the beginning. You don't remember? On the beginning. When people used to walk out for interviews, we used to have music playing. It was like a whole thing. I never saw that. No, we got in 15 years.

I ain't never seen no goddamn. You remember? Yes, yes, you do. I used to always say, we should record this and post it, and then we never did it. It wasn't a spirit tunnel, though. Mac used to be playing music. It was a vibe, though. People looked forward to it.

People would come here looking forward to that. It was probably two people, two people that did it, but it was still, it was getting here. Well, we don't show that we had. Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm in a McLemoa. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.

had both been assassinated, and Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Almermata, Moore House College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior,

and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution, I mean, people would die. The murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind. Listen to the A building on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In the middle of the night, Saschao awoke in a haze. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home. That's your husband.

To keep this secret for so many years, he's like a seasoned pro. This is a story about the end of a marriage, but it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark. You're a dangerous person who prays on vulnerable and trusting people. Your predator might go up and good. Listen to Betrayal Season 5 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. It was many and many. year ago in a kingdom by the sea.

In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents. I lied to police. I lied to everybody. There were years right where I could not say your name.

I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can, to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years. I'll teach you, sons of a bitch, come around here in my white. Boom, boom.

This is The Red Weather. Listen to The Red Weather on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Segregation and a day integration at night. When segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping on another world. Inside Charlie's place, black and white people danced together.

But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the KKK? Yeah, they were dressed up in their uniform. The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here. Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush you. From Atlas Obscura, Rococo Punch, and visit Myrtle Beach, comes Charlie's place. A story that was nearly lost to time.

Until now, listen to Charlie's Place on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Happy when people come. Them people are happy when that's fair to tell them to be happy. We don't be the happy. be too early. No. We just want to ask the questions. We can do AI.

We can AI spirit tunnel. Oh, okay. All right. That's good. That's good. That's stupid. They'll be dancing by yourself. Stupid.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, also in this hour. So yesterday, Stefan Diggs was speaking at a Super Bowl opening night. And this is something that I feel like it's not getting a lot of coverage either. I know the focus is football because the Super Bowl is this weekend. I know the focus is football.

I know the focus is a football game. But listen, y'all, yesterday, Stefan digs talked about potentially Cardi getting a ring and like I'm barely seeing it anyway. You better worry about him getting the ring. Let's listen and Step on Diggs on the ring. After you get your ring, is Cardi getting her ring?

It's on the agenda maybe, right? I got to get mine first though. That's a hell of a thing to say. I got to get mine first because what if they lose? Yeah. I mean, at least he's honest. Like I just feel like when

because when Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift were dating. There were so many rumors that he might propose to her at the Super Bowl and that news was everywhere. There were polls about it and everything and I'm like, look at it. That's a lot of pressure and that wasn't even his plan. By the way, we'll make y'all think Big Badi want to get married. Again. Like Big Boll's Badi out here,

big Bars Bordy out here. She's about the outside. Y'all be playing with BARTy like she's not the boss. How many days got to that tour? I think it's seven days left to a tour. February 11th is her tour. February 8th is the Super Bowl. Okay. That is wild. That is wild when people ask questions. I was just about to say. I was. I was

You know the girl want to get married. Like, she may not want to get married. Exactly. That's true. That's true. If he just pop up with a ring, she's going to be like, yes. You don't know. What he's setting up, too, because he might be setting up something nice.

Don't want to blow it up. Just, nah, it's supposed to be secret. I'm not mad at how he answered the question. I just felt like more people would be talking about. I got to get my ring first. I ain't going to lie. Some things I'll be mad at nothing. I mean, that's on agenda, maybe, right?

I got to get mine first. Yeah. Well, when my man reach out to y'all and tell y'all he's about to propose. Yes. I know you're going to reach out of the man. I know you're going to reach out to me because I'm going to make sure. It won't be a surprise if he reaches out to you. Now, as we-

Are you going to say yes? If he reaches out to you? You better. Set up the proposal with him, okay? I was on the radio talking about minotars this morning. A minotas, a half-man, half-dead. That's more realistic than anything Lauren talking about, right? Wow.

You will see a minotar before you see somebody. Wow. That is, okay? Yeah. My wedding is going to be sponsored by Black Effect. That's what that sounds like that. I know that's right. I know that's right. And the next latest,

We're going to talk a little bit more about the Super Bowl because Roger Goodell is talking about whether Bad Bunny will make a political statement on that stage or not. How the hell Roger know what Bad Bunny going on? And when Bad Bunny starts talking, how how Roger Goodell going to know what he's saying? Cut it out.

How did Roger Goodell know? They asked if me. I'll be in rehearsal. I wouldn't say nothing that I plan to say on stage in rehearsal if I wanted to make a political statement. Well, we're going to get into it in the next latest, so we'll be back with more. All right, all right.

When we come back, we got front page news, and then the Brat and Judy will be. you joining us. We got Jagged as. Let's get married for Lauren. Oh, yes. Oh, that's fire. And those are my boys, too. They're going to be there. They said I'm their little sister. She got to pray. He's got to pray on it. That's the guy what you do. I pray over my me and my relationship, my family and y'all every single morning. Oh, I know. That's right. Yes, I do. I promise me in with that man. Probably. We're getting much longer than him. I think he's. Morning, everybody is DJ NV.

Just hilarious. Shalameen de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. That a 2026 NFL Pro games are taking place to. day. They're doing today. I don't know anybody. What? I don't. I don't. Nobody care.

It's a seven-on-seven non-contact game, 220-minute halves if you do care. Eight o'clock is the skills competition. It's flag football, man. No, it really is. It's flag football. It may no sense to play a game because nobody wants to get hurt. That's what I'm saying.

It don't make no sense. The pro bowl don't make no sense. It don't. It don't. But what's up, Mimi? Good morning. Invi, Jesse. How y'allelment?

How y'all doing this morning? Good morning. Good morning. So we're getting new details this morning, straight from Don Lemon in his own words about his arrest. So in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Lemon recalled the moments he says federal agents grabbed and arrested him at his hotel after attending a Grammy party. Let's listen to what he told Kimmel. Press the elevator button and all of a sudden I feel myself being jostled and

people trying to grab me and put me in handcuffs and I said, what are you doing here? And they said, we came to arrest and I said, who are you? And then finally they like identified themselves and I said, if you are who you are, and then where's the warrant? And they didn't have a warrant. So they have to wait for the, someone from outside, an FBI guy to come in to show me a warrant. And then they, it was a bunch of guys and they took me outside. FBI guys were out there. I mean, it had to be maybe a dozen people, which is a waste, Jimmy, of resources, because I told them weeks before, and maybe once or twice that I could just go in and it would have to be the folks who are just working there that day and they wouldn't have to have all these people.

They want to embarrass you. They want to intimidate you. They want to intimidate you. They want to instill fear. And so that's why they did it that way. Well, federal prosecutors, they say Limon, along with other defendants, including journalists, Georgia Fort. They interfered with a church service during an anti-I's protest in St. Paul. They're charged with conspiracy, violating civil rights of worshippers and accused of blocking access to the church and disrupting that service. Of course, Liman and Forks, they both say that they were there to not protest and have pled not guilty to these charges and are fighting them. And Mimi, you're in Minnesota now.

You're going to talk to Georgia Fort this week, right? I am going to talk to Georgia Fort later today. So absolutely. We definitely want to talk to her and check in and see how she's doing and get a little bit more about her case and, you know, what that's looking like. Absolutely. Yeah, for sure. And then speaking of the arrest, you guys, there is another arrest tied to that same church protest.

So federal prosecutors, they have arrested Jerome Richardson. He is a 21-year-old college student and activist in connection with. the anti-ice protest at City's Church in Minnesota. Now that's the same protest that Don Lemon was covering. Now Richardson says his role was limited to assisting Don in those logistics while Lemon covered

what was happening inside the church. Richardson, he is now facing the same federal charges as others tied to the case, including conspiracy, interfering with religious rights. Let's listen to what he had to say. January 18th, I assisted Don Lemon during his visit to the Twin Cities

by helping with logistics and connecting him with local context. Don was reporting on the situation on the ground during the occupation by DHS and ICE and border patrol agents. And at that time, I was proud to support his work in exposing the everyday injustice has resulted from the federal government's agenda. As a consequence of this support, I am now being targeted by Trump and the federal administration. I'm speaking out now because I anticipate being in federal custody sometime in the coming days. So assisting him with logistics just telling him where to go, basically? Somebody snitched on Jerome.

They were known Jerome, man. Somebody snitched on Jerome. I spoke to Jerome last night. He shared with me some pretty disturbing details. So he told me that he ended up turning himself in yesterday at 7.15 a.m. to Federal Customs House in Philly. That's where he attends school. He said that he was arrested by HSI agents and then the federal sit to the federal courthouse to be processed by U.S.

Marshals. He told me that he was in chains. from his belly to his feet, to his hands. He was in custody for about six hours. He was released after his attorney argued that he was not a flight risk. He said that they attempted to have him further detained for leaving Minnesota to go back to school. He's expected to return back to Minnesota for his next court date. He was released on conditional release.

So he was here when it happened. He told me that he was assisting Don Lemon as a producer for that day. Wow. He's from St. Paul, Minnesota. And he was just helping him with logistics. He was helping coordinate on the ground. He knows him. And he's a local activist.

And Don just needed to, you know, kind of know what was happening that day. And he was just, you know, working as in a producer role for that day. And he was also arrested. I asked him how he found out that there was a warrant for his arrest. He said that the U.S. district attorney informed his attorney. But he also said that Homeland. insecurity was calling him from a private number and texting his phone repeatedly asking him to surrender or telling him to surrender. And so he is, he was, I asked him how he was doing. He said he's

a little frightened, having trouble sleeping at night. There is a go fund me for him. And he's just, you know, because he's a college student. He's 21 years old. He's trying to raise money for his legal defense. I wonder, Mimi, how does that impact, you know, somebody like you? Because you're on the ground in Minnesota. Like, what if you needed, you know, somebody to help you with logistics, you know, somebody to help you on the ground. You think that would deter people from wanting to do it because what happened to drill? That's the thing.

And that's what, you know, Don Lemon said in his sound bite, right? Like the goal, the objective is to scare, to frighten, right? So you arrest somebody for going in the church and then you arrest somebody for providing logistics, right? For helping people know where to go to know what's happening on the ground. Like it's almost getting people at both angles. It's really frightening, if I'm being honest, right?

Because you just, you really don't know what they're looking for. or what they're going to target or what they're going to make up or what's going to happen or what they're going to say. So, you know, in speaking to him last night, though, he said that, you know, he just wanted everybody to pray for him. And if you can, donate to his legal fund, his go fund me again. His name is Jerome Richardson. And he's on, he's online. Also, me, I was going to ask, you know, a lot of times they say, you know, if the feds don't call or text you. So, you know, right.

Exactly. So you get a call or a text, I would assume he had an attorney that they reached out to the attorney because I wouldn't answer no four. I'm not. Times have changed. Homeland security texting. They don't call and text you. Times have changed. And until y'all realize times have changed, y'all going to keep, you know, fighting the wrong fight.

Times have changed. Yeah, he told me, he said that they were, he was getting a private call from some number. And then it just started texting him, telling him to turn himself in. He said it was Homeland Security. You can't give that information to Charleston because I can see him texting somebody right now. I can see you do it. I don't like how you think of me. Mimi, what's up with the Super Bowl?

All right. Super Bowl halftime show is officially a culture war. So Turning Point USA, they announced that it's launching its own alternative halftime show during the Super Bowl, directly competing with the NFL's official performance. So instead of tuning into Bad Bunny, Turning Point is live streaming what it's calling the All-American Half-Time Show headlined by Kid Rock alongside alongside country artist, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce, and Gabby Barrett. The group says the show was about faith, family, and freedom, and Kid Rock is framing it as the underdog fight

and taking back what they call the pro football machine. What mayonnaise company is sponsoring that? Is it going to be helmets? It's going to be crafts. There's going to be Miracle Whip, Dukes. What mayonnaise company is going to sponsor that one? Okay. Well, we shall see.

We know that Turning Point USA is definitely sponsoring it, but we'll also see, I guess, Charlemagne, to your point, but other companies are involved when it airs the same day as Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah, mayonnaise and cracker brands is sponsored at. Rich, Jesus, you know what I mean? Triscuits, wheat thins. Okay. Hey, yo.

All right. Thank you, Mimi. All right, well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories for all the Black Information Network. Download the free I-HeartRadio app or visit BINNews.com. Peace, Mimi.

How ya y'all doing? It's cold a shit out here. It's mother, why the snow dirty? I thought still supposed to be white. The first day is clean. Yeah, the first of all, I thought school was white.

When they started scooping it, looking at us like there, You know, I didn't see brown. And they start plowing it and moving it around and the ride and all that and gets a little dirty. I'm sorry. She's from New Orleans. I love to see y'all together, right? Because some people have a relationship online and they just show the love online, right?

But to see y'all behind the scenes and see you together with no cameras are there and how lovey-dovey y'all still are with each other. So we were at Jingleball Atlanta and the brat was performing. And behind the stage, y'all just couldn't keep your hands off each other. Pumping, dancing on each other. I said, I love this. How was the relationship still so fresh like that? Y'all still, it feels like your newlywed era. Yeah, we just like to have fun, man.

Life presents enough bullshit. You know what I'm saying? In the world today. So we just like to have fun. She got me making videos and stuff. I see that. She hate that, too. I'm getting into it.

I'm getting better. But that engagement be high. You don't be doing nothing on social media. You got to give them a little tinkle, you know, give them a little something. razzled out. Now, Julie, how do you crack the brat

when it Cahian came to that? Because the brat is usually tough exterior. She ain't up and around. She ain't with the social media. And you got her doing dances. So, well, I tell her beautiful,

I need you to Marf. I need you for like 30 minutes. And I don't tell her what we do it or nothing. Right before it's time to shoot, I say, okay, this is an example. And she'd be aggravated, but she kind of do it.

And as long as we can do it in one or two takes, she would. But when it's two, three, four, she out of though. How did you all protect the private parts of your relationship while writing this book? What private parts? We kind of just let it all out. Whatever we talked about, we went deep into it and just talked about it for real, for real.

Like whatever happened, that's what happened. You know, we protected the name of the people or whatever, but it's our lives and it's our situation. So everything that happened in those stories we told is what happened. Absolutely. One thing that I was surprised about, though, I was, she talked about our sex life, like, so old. Openly and candidly. I got it on the page right here. Right.

Openly and candidly. Because she does it. She's real timid, shy, especially when it comes to stuff like that. I was like, so you're going to tell them all of this? And she just let it loose. So I said, okay, that's what I'm doing. How did y'all meet? Because we know you, Julie.

Super duper entrepreneur from New Orleans, right? That's the first time we met you. The Brad, of course, Atlanta, hip-hop legend. Shotown. Shotown to Atlanta. Now, how did y'all meet? Well, she was doing this. I was doing a promo for Miracle Drops, for Collideroscope for the company.

And that happened through like a makeup artist, blah, blah, blah. But I had never met her. But the first time I initially saw her, she was on Instagram, and I was going through some crazy shit. And I saw this lady, and she had this message. And the message just drew me in. And I was like, oh, my God, it really helped my soul feel better. I was like, who was this lady?

She had gray hair. And I was like, okay. So I started following her. Fast forward. She was on a tour, Judy Dropping Knowledge. tour or whatever. So I was like, okay, I was coming from somewhere and I landed in Atlanta and I was

back in Atlanta. I was like, you know what? I'm going to stop by there and check her out because I had never met her. So I was like, okay, I pull up to this place. It's like, 5,000, people at a convention center. And I'm like, okay, I definitely didn't expect that because I was coming from the airport. I wasn't ready to see

people have to sign autographs and pretty much work. But anyway, I got in there, so I asked her people, you know, could they get her? I'm standing there 10, 20, 30, 45 minutes waiting on this lady to come through the crowd because she's signing autographs and taking pictures.

I'm like, well, I'm the brat. I'm nothing to be standing up here all my fucking made waiting on this lady, right? So I'm like, okay, so I'm being patient because, you know, I do work for her. I do do some promo and stuff for it. So I just really wanted to meet her. So she finally made it to me.

And she was like, hey, how you doing? You know, we talked, we hugged for a second. And I was like, man, it's so crazy. I was like, let's link later. you know what I'm saying? Because obviously we came with you having no conversation right here. But when I meant by Let's Link later is let's shoot some more promo videos. Let's, you know, let's, whatever.

You really did. Yeah, right. I really did. That's not what I heard. I didn't even know. First of all I didn't even know she liked women. I didn't even know any of that. You know what I'm saying?

I didn't need. Yeah. So go ahead. So tell us. I didn't know that she was there, nor did I know she was coming, nor did I know she was waiting. She talked to my team. So when I finally got to her, and I was like, oh, hey girl, because she had been in my comments.

She had been on my live. And I was like, oh, she's friendly. So then when she said, let's think later, I said, oh, she's friendly. Friendly, friendly. You know, so she told me to meet her as so-so death later on, and I did. I went to the studio, and it was just meet by myself. She was like, where's your teeth? This lady pulled up, hopped out the car by herself and this fly-ass little tight outfit.

I guess anything she wasn't going to be tight because of the way her body is made. But she had a long draping ponytail. had a jewelry on. I was like, where is you going? You could have been coming to a studio with a thousand. You know, Atlanta studios, it'd be all kind of people everywhere and there'd be 10, 15 studios in one big studio. And I was like, you shouldn't be out here by yourself,

where's your security? Where's the team? Where's the camera people? And she was like, I came by myself. And I was like, oh. You said you wanted to link. Yeah. But I was not like coming on to her and I didn't, wasn't flirting or saying come let's link, then she pulled up to the studio. I was like, oh, this bitch is fine.

But when we was in the studio, we was just talking, I still had no idea. I'm still dumbfounded. I still had no idea. We was talking about all this shit we, the shit we liked and the things that we were. Interested in it. And I say, well, I'm interested in you.

Oh, you know what you did? Yes. So it fucked me up. Because you were probably the one. Like, I wasn't used to that. You know what I'm saying? I just wasn't used to that. Like, out of the blue, I had no.

usually I have some type of inkling or some type of idea. I didn't know shit. So when she said it, it f***ed me up, I was like, er, er, what? Interested in who? Man, and she was like, I'm interested in you. And first of all, my swag left. I was nauseous. I had butterflies.

I felt like I was going to be sick. Then I tried to light a blunt. I was like, okay, calm yourself, bitch, calm yourself. Get you a blunt, roll your blunt like that. I lit the blunt. The m-cherry fell on the couch. Damn. Couldn't even smoke the blonde.

I said, damn, okay, so I'm going to go get me some Hennessy. Got me some Hennessy? Just trying to keep my cool, you know what I'm saying? Because I was nervous. Drink the Hennessy. She poured it all down my mouth. That's my whole mouth. I know.

Like, the swag was gone. I thought it was cute. That's cute. I thought that she, you know, it was like, it was cute that she was shy and she was timid. But then let's get to the next part when you had me come to Atlanta two, three times, and you ghosted me. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Damn. First of all. Wow. So she was the person, you were able to talk to her, but come about three o'clockish, she would go missing. And after you? Not three o'clockish.

Something like that. Okay. Exaggerating. Oh, my God. You're doing disson. Damn. You know, the Brad, you said love changed you. So what parts of yourself did you finally allow, I guess, I guess, to soften?

Oh, my God. Like, I'm way more vulnerable now. Like, I'm way more vulnerable now. Like, I'm crying. more, you know, growing up in Chicago having to defend myself and fight all the fucking time. You, you don't cry. You don't show weak, you don't show vulnerability

because you show weak, then people take advantage of you more. They see you sweat, they go in harder. That's how it is in Chicago. So, my wife and the love from her has made me open up more and know that it's okay to cry and express yourself. Like when we was doing Brad loves

Judy, I really didn't want my to see me have an argument with her because I had never did that, like on TV. And I definitely didn't want my ass to see me cry. Like, I'm a my fucking rapper. I talk about shooting people in my songs. I talk about, you know, I'm a tough girl in Chicago. I'm like, I'm never going to be able to sell another record.

But anyway, we had an argument. And I was like, no, make the cameras leave. Put them out. She was like, no. We had an argument for real. We're going to resolve it for real. Right here on camera. And I'm like, oh, my God.

So when we was talking, I ended up crying and shit. And I was like, oh, my God. This is fin to just ruin my own life. But it just told me. me that it's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay. I'm human. It's okay to have feelings. It's okay to express yourself, you know, and it's okay to open

up a little. Do either one of you all think y'all were in love before each other, like real love? Now that y'all have each other and experience what you're doing? Oh, that's a good question. What's you about to say? Because you, you... When we was dating and had got back together, she had moved to Atlanta, she had a condo in Atlanta, and I was like,

I had sat down next to her. I was like, you know what? Let me just... I was like, I think I'm in love with you. Like, I think I'm like falling in love with you. I think I love you. And then she was like, I know I love you. So she's trying to tell me she said it first. I said it first.

But you're saying you felt it first, but you didn't speak on it. She lied. I felt it first. I felt it first. I didn't even say that. She just said that. Can you think you felt it before me? I don't know.

I think I don't know where you felt it. But his question is, do you feel like you ever had that you were in love prior to now? Or do you feel like our relationship? No, I did think so before I thought I was in love. the little relationships you get in, you be like, oh, I'm in love, I love him, I love him. But until I got this right here, I ain't ever know what love was, for real, in real life. Like, the way that she loves me, I've never felt anything like it in my whole life, in my whole relationship, in any relationship.

So I'm very grateful for that. That's what made me be like, oh, I don't want nobody else. This is what I want. This is the real feeling right here. I had never felt the real feeling. That's amazing. What about you, Judy? I don't, I think I care for people deeply prior, but I think this, I think our love taught me how to, um, take two steps back and try to learn the person and learn their love language and learn, you know, how to stick it out and how to do the tough things and, and, and to also know that it's not always peaches and cream, you know, and I think I was, I'm happy that I didn't, you know, like, give up on it because, you know, they had some shi-ish that happens.

What did you both had to unlearn to be able to be in this marriage or to be, you know, with each other? I'm a give-giver, right? And she likes acts of service. So I'm like, yeah, we do this big extravagant thing. I've checked the box. So, you know, I've done it. But she, she don't give a fuck how much it costs. She don't care if it costs a dollar or if it costs a need.

She don't give a fuck about that. She cares about time. She would prefer time. Like the thing that we did recently, like, they really moved her. was I set up the movie theater and we put some palettes. Like I put some pillows on the floor, put some blankets on the floor, and it was me, her, and our baby.

And she just absolutely loved that. She don't give a fuck if I do all of this extravagant shit and have all of the decor and have the private violin. She don't give a shit about none of that. She just wanted to be. I do care. She just be, she wants the time. She want my phone down.

She want, you know. But I know why that. That's because she's an artist. And she's been on the road since she was young. So now it's like you just want the time. Even now with me and Charloman talk about all the time. I just want to be home with the family. I mean, Shalerman, do this all the time.

I didn't say we had to have to be in the way with the violence. I don't know what you were thinking. I would say that we prefer time with the family. That means the most in anything else. Money doesn't matter. Just that time is everything. And Brad, what did you have to learn? You felt like, um, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Well, you have a toxic in previous relationships. What's something that you noticed that you get better in this relationship? Yeah. Like, she told me all the time. Ooh, you know, like, I'm so much better now.

Like, because that, so sometimes I might have inappropriate tone. Yeah, you better watch your tone. Sometimes that tone, that tone when she talks to them. But what I've learned, I bring my tone down. And Lord knows it took a long time to be able to do that because I'm a shy town bitch. And I'd be like, motherfucker, what the fuck you think you're talking to, you know what I'm saying? And I'm so she do the same thing with that New Orleans action. So when her voice goes up, I'd be like,

babe, can you please bring your voice down? You're yelling. If both of us start yelling, it's going to be a problem in here, so let's not do that. You know what I'm saying? And she'll bring it down a little, but then she'll go back up. And then she'd walk the fuck out. So then this shit ain't resolved. Whatever we're fussing about is not resolved.

I hate that. And she can go do some other shit and be all right. I don't like that. I like to get a resolved because I don't like to go to bed mad. I think it's tomorrow it's not promised and I think we need to fix it. But she will go walk off and take some time, and then go doing something,

go start doing something for like colitis, go but some other shit and then put my little shit to the side while I'm still sitting over here upset. You know what I'm saying? But she doesn't start doing some other shit. So that's something we still working on.

I prefer to digest. Because she... I prefer to digest. And then not only that, I don't want to talk to somebody when I'm angry. Because I know I can say something that cuts deep that I don't mean.

My brain goes automatically to, you know how Cardi said, go to hell. I go under hell. So I never... And I did that to me. And I don't ever want to be in that situation where I have. I've also been in a relationship where I hit somebody first.

And Maya's don't know how to fight. So I don't even know I hit him. Forgot a black eye and everything. That's when we get so mad. You're going so mad. I'm serious. I understand how to contain my anger and how to contain stuff. So I just walk away from the situation.

And I've learned how to compartmentalize. Like I put it to the side, digest it, and try to talk about it later. How has motherhood helped with that, though? Oh, my God. Motherhood is everything. I love. Love, love, love being a mother. I love it.

It's my everything. Like, oh, my goodness, it's just the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I'm so blessed that God allowed me to have and carry a child at my age. I think motherhood has brought us closer, like, because she's a mother of three old, grown children already. If I say older children, already, like, she knows a lot of stuff, but she lets me lead when it comes to our son. So I love it. Oh, my God. And it's brought us closer.

brings us closer, it makes our bond stronger, I think. You are so in love with your son, Brad. I love to see y'all with him. Yeah, did you ever see kids for yourself? No, I ain't see no kids. I ain't want to be married. I ain't see no kids because, you know, I grew up in church, so

two women wasn't getting married growing up in church. That just wasn't happening. And it wasn't ever no fucking that I was so in love with it. I was like, oh, I'm going to marry him. So I just thought it wasn't in the cards for me. I thought marriage or children was not in the cards for me. And I was cool with that.

was just content with living life. However, I know, her host. Go ahead. And I wasn't looking for love like that. And that's when she ended up talking about some,

I'm, I'm interested or whatever, and then it grew from there. I got family of somebody with me to ask you to brag. They're crazy. Do you consider yourself a humble stud?

No. I am not a stud. Tell what you said. I love fingernails. I love makeup. I love panty and bra sets, lace, pretty, La Perla.

Period. Like, I, you know, I'm not a stud. But I don't have a problem with studs. I got a lot of studs. I got a lot of studs. You know what I'm saying? But that is not who I am. Okay.

You know, I don't put a label on myself. Period. You know. I wanted to ask one question. This has another do with relationship. Me neither. I want to talk hip-hop. Okay, let's go.

I have a question. J.D. was here, and he talks about the time you almost got him killed. The first time I started working on Mariah, I decided to do it always be my baby remix, right? So I brought Escape and the Brat to her house that was out in upstate. Her and Brat kicked it. They hit it off. And she convinced Brat or either Brat convinced her.

Let's take a trip in the car, just me and you and go to McDonald's or some old shit like this. So they left together. They left the ground without me knowing. And the nigga showed up in the studio like, what's going on? I'm like, I seen running around. Like, this is my first time at her house. And I bring some f***es over. This is just like a story.

You bring some of the house and this is what happened. Oh, when you kidnap Mariah? When you kidnapped Mariah character. So what? Break that story down. So what? If he died, he died. No, you know, he took us to her house.

We was hanging out. She was super cool. We instantly had chemistry in jail. And we was laughing about cracking jokes on people. Like, it was just like we had knew each other forever. So she was showing me around the house. And she was telling me, because in some rooms, like the closet in certain places,

they had microphones in the wall, so she would tell me, you know, when it's a good time to talk about shit and when it was not or whatever. So, you know, she showed me her cars, and it was like 15 cars in the garage. Now mind you, I ain't ever seen this type of shit before. I've just been to JD House and seen his riches.

I ain't seen shit else. So I'm at Mariah's house who lives next door to Ralph Lauren with Tommy Motola. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, so she had a fleet of fucking cars in the garage. And I'm like, whose cars is these? She was like, they mine, I said, well, bitch, let's

go! I said, what's near here? And she was like, there's a burger king of, she's like, let's go get some fries. So we get in the car. What car now? I think it was a cat, like it was like a pink, old old school pink cat, like, everything was shined up and brand new, no scratches.

It was just clean. I was like, oh my God, in heaven. So we're in the car, we ride, and she's driving. I'm chilling. I'm like, yes, I'm having a good time. We're playing music. And then all sudden my phone started blowing up. I think we had the sky tails or something back then. And JD was like, get back here right now, Brad. I don't know

what y'all doing, but you need to get back here. They need you back right now. I'm like, no. We're going to Bird King up the street. What is wrong with you? We're going a mile up the street to Burger King. So I see him when I see you, when I get back. He kept blowing me up like, Brad, no, you don't understand. I need you to get back.

I didn't know they had the guns out where JD was at, making him tell me to get her back here. I'm like, it ain't me that was gone. Mariah wanted to go to Shito on their drove. So yeah, that's what happened. So it was Mariah people's like her. It's Tommy Matola.

Tommy Matola. They thought they were kidnapping Mariah. So did y'all get the Burr King? Yeah, we got to Burk King and got them fries. But when we came back, they took her away and I was like, oh my God, I felt like she was in trouble. Like Tommy Matola, she was really like a princess in the castle. Like it was like

on Shrek when the princess, Fiona was in the castle and could not, you know, And honestly, when we was in the house, anytime she would laugh, anytime she would look like she was having fun, security would come get her. Like, it was, it was a horrible but good experience for me. But I hated seeing her like that. But I think in a lot of ways, when we talked and stuff, she got to vent and express herself. We both are Aries. We both are eternally 12.

You know what I'm saying? We started to go, she started to send the helicopter and stuff. We need to go to Disney World and just fly one ride, one ride. Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Minilic Lamuba. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.

had both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Almemata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. to be in what we really thought was a revolution.

I mean, people would die. 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind. Listen to the A-building on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get, at your podcast. In the middle of the night,

Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe.

That's your home. That's your husband. To keep this secret for so many years, he's like a seasoned pro. This is a story about the end of a marriage, but it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark. You're a dangerous person who prays on vulnerable and trusting people.

When segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping on another world. Inside Charlie's place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the KKK? Yeah, they were dressed up in their uniform. The KKK set out to.

Ray, Charlie, take him away from here. Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush you. From Atlas Obscura, Rococo Punch, and visit Myrtle Beach, comes Charlie's Place. A story that was nearly lost to time. Until now. Listen to Charlie's Place on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather.

It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents. I lied to police. I lied to everybody.

There were years right where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years. I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around her in my wife. Boom, boom. This is The Red Weather. Listen to the Red Weather on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

come back just to like relax and stuff like she was really like trapped in that relationship and it was horrible like she had to eat the fries at least yeah she ate we ate the fries on the way yeah on the way back we ate them in the car now when people say the brat was the first female rap with a gold platinum what part of that achievement do you feel still doesn't get fully respected um i think i stopped caring charlemagne uh it is what it is um that's what i did that is who I am. It can't be changed. Nobody else can be the first female rapper to ever sell a million records solo.

Salt and Pepper was the first group. And I stopped caring about it a long time ago. That's game changing. It is. Yeah, but what I'm going to do, everywhere I go, ask for respect or ask that nobody forgets that. And it is what it is. And I'm not going wear it on a T-shirt every day.

Like, I know what I did. And if people know, they know. And if they don't, they don't. Like, there's nothing I could do about people not respecting that. People don't have respect these days anymore. That's not a thing that happens like it used to. Does it bother you at all? Because a lot of times when they mention female emcees,

I feel like they don't mention the brat or no. They probably don't, but it don't bother me. It don't bother me. Like, I'll see some stuff and I'll be like, oh, they ain't put me in that, but I don't be, like, mad or offended. It is what it is, you know? People didn't know and respect me and love and appreciate what I did.

They love and respect me and appreciate what I did, but those that don't fuck them. They can look at it in the history books or find out when they hear it. Because it's there. It'll be there forever. I always wanted to know. How I was working with Biggie.

Man, oh man, Biggie was everything. He was a big old teddy bear. Big old teddy bear smoked his back out. Just was sweet to everybody. Had plenty bitches. They're talking about black nasty bitty. These bitches love some Biggie. Biggie had some holes.

I'd be like, damn, Biggie, how you get that one? You know what I'm saying? When we was in the studio, I had never seen somebody not write their lyrics down. That was the first time I had saw that. Because we was doing the B-side, the song I got with Biggie. And we said, J-D's, and I was writing my legs. I'm like, oh, I'm going to beat this. I'm right my mix.

I'm almost done. He's sitting there smoking. He ain't going to be, we're going to be waiting on him. So when I was almost finished, I was like, Big, yo, what's up? When your verse is it? He's like, oh, I'm done. I said, you ain't even write it down. You ain't got no peeing and pay.

He's like, no, I'm done. I said, you ain't done. you're just saying that you're trying to put some pressure on me. He went in the studio in the booth and laid his verse down. And I was pissed. Like, ah, you really, how you memorized that? You smoked two pounds of weed just now

and you memorized that and went in the booth and did it. So that was one of the amazing things about him besides his heart. Like, Biggie was a really, really good dude and wanted to help everybody. I loved when the brat was hitting on Wendy and Wendy. Wendy Williams?

Hey, yo. Wendy Williams? No, you already know. When the house? You already know. What the hell are you doing? You already know. When we did our interview, she tried to say I hit on her.

And I had to be like, bitch, no. I love you. You're a nice person. You're cool. But you are not the type of bitch I would holler at. Oh, that was so funny, man. I was trying to figure out a way to nicely put her down. Like, girl, don't do that.

I ain't never tried to her. She's talking about she had receipts. I said, I got the same phone bitch that I've been had for years. I got receipts, too. I'll show you. We can compare it. I ain't you ain't heard shit like that for me. I never tried to hollet it.

When was this like back in the day? Back 2021 when it was on when she had a TV show. Yeah, she interviewed me talking about I tried to hollered. I'm like, bitch, no, I didn't. You was not going to do that to me. Jesus Christ. If readers can take just one truth away from the way love goes, what do you hope it is?

It's never too late for love and not to give up on it. And it finds you when you stop looking for it. That's what I think. Okay. make your bitch 11 times God damn 11 win

at one time at one hold on now 11 times when in one session in one session yeah

okay yeah if you didn't make his oh my God if you didn't make his wife do it for 10 years I met my wife

when I was 16 right I was 20 I'm rolling the book the crazy part is she loves she's a gift

So she loves to give. I'm talking she will, she will, because you can't just back to back. You got to do it, then give me six to them in minutes. A little break. Right. And then we can start again. Now that I'm thinking about this,

did you want the world to know your skills or something? Because we was talking about it. We was talking about sex. And that is like, well, I only did that once. Tell me the name of the toy guy. So I can't have a hand on her. It's no toy. It's no toys.

It's no toys. Yeah, it was no toy. No, no time you'd be f***ed up, though. But at the end of the day, you'd be f***ed up because you don't walk right. You don't walk right. You don't walk right. Wow. I just want y'all to know.

I did not know. Shout out to Jenny. Shout out to Judy and the brat for pulling up. They got a book out called A Guide to Building a Beautiful and Everlasting Relationship the way love goes. I just want you to know that during that conversation. Oh, my goodness. Lauren turned to Jess and Larry's. Right.

You said, yo, Jess, how does that work? work. She looked at her so crazy. And then Lauren was like, nah, you know when you go down, I'm like, never ever told nobody in the world that I, not that you did it. That's why the gays gave me back because I don't,

I don't, I didn't. This is awkward. The other way, right? You didn't have to. Oh, yeah. So that's what I was wondering. So, like, after they go down.

Oh, whoa, whoa, it's a morning show. Oh, Jesus Christ. And you could have to tell her, too. She had that thing. She had that thing before she was a morning show. And the Brad and Judy was just up here, time about how they did. The other is a wife and a bubble.

What are we talking about? What is going to? Why are you putting her past out there? What are you looking for? That's so crazy. I just even thinking about it. You know what? Let's get to the ladies.

Let's get to the latest. Let's get to the latest. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself. Damn. I'm being myself. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

The little brown girls looks at you and go. I don't want to be like this. Take me through that. Where is she going? The latest with Lauren O'Noosa. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coulbeck. Talk to me.

All right, guys. This place is crazy. No it's not. Yes, this place is very pleased. There's no question. That is a stupid question. Right. All right.

So, Roger Goodell. No, first, before we get to Roger Goodell, really quickly, I want to congratulate Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. Hey, yes. They're children yesterday. So they're going to be a grandfather of the same kid. You know that their children are married now. They got married last year.

They were dating for three years before that. They announced Eric Murphy, who is the son of Eddie Murphy, and Jasmine Lawrence, who is the daughter of Martin Lawrence, that they are expecting their first child yesterday. Congratulations. Congratulations to Eric and Jasmine first. Yes. Right.

But for Eddie. I had to explain it that way. Because if I just said, congratulations, Eric and Jasmine, you'd be like, who are Eric and Jasmine? No, the children, Murphy, and Mark, congratulations to Eric and Jasmine. I guess went from the back to the front, not the front to the back, but yes. Congratulations to Eric and Jay.

That's Envy's move right there. Oh, God. Congratulations. You would know, yeah. Oh my God. What? Man. See, great to go on.

But congratulations. I don't know you want to tell you. I know. I know. They posted their maternity photos yesterday, which is, I love seeing people's maternity photos. They always look like they're so in bliss. Congrats.

Yes, congratulations. Yeah. Okay, now let's get back on into some sports news talk, right? Because yesterday. Yes. Come on. All right. You got this.

I got, thank you, Jess. It has been a big conversation about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl. Political, will he not get political people, not wanting him there? And Roger Goodell, who's an NFL commissioner, had a conversation about if Bad Bunny is going to get political. Let's take a listen. Bad Benny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world and that's one of the reasons we chose him but the other reason is he understood the platform he was on and that this was this platform is to use to unite people and to be able to bring

people together with their creativity with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that and I think artists in the past have done that I think bad money understands that and I think he'll have a great performance what the hell did I just say roger goddegado just says he has no idea what the hell bad thing yeah I feel like he he wanted to say no he's not going to get political, but he can't say that, because how do you know that? And most people do use that stage to make a statement a political statement. No, it sounded like he doesn't want him to get political. He's like, I would rather

not him get political. You know, I'd rather him just, you know, go out and do it. Do the music. Yeah, that's what it sounded like he was saying. He can't say that. You know, Roger Goodell makes like 60 million and he deserves it. He's the commissioner of the NFL. That's crazy. That's his job. 60, 60, that's crazy. That's crazy. He always is in my pocket. I'm not about it.

In North Carolina, I'm just curious. It's $60 million dollars. The NFL is a multi-billion dollar business. Why wouldn't he make that type of money? I'm just saying that's just a lot of money. That's great. Well, yeah, there have been, so there was a report by the athletic that indicated that a lot of the NFL players are divided,

but most of them don't want Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. Now, to me... Have nothing to do with his political takes. They just don't know his music. Okay, exactly. Yes. So what this report was basically talking about is that people say that they lack of, or the NFL players that were probed in this study,

say that they lack of familiarity with his music. So they prefer artists that they actually know. Some of the artists that they mentioned were Drake, Chris Brown, Travis Scott. Absolutely Chris Brown up and down. I mean, I don't know. I think with the whole Bad Bunny conversation, at this point, it's like the man is doing a Super Bowl. Just let it rock. This is such a big topic.

Everybody's still got a great. It makes amazing music. It's going to be dope regardless. Guys, the Hispanic Latino population is the largest racial or ethnic minority group in the U.S. Don't matter if you don't know Bad Bunny's music. There's tens of millions of people who do. Okay, everything ain't for everybody. Bad Bunny performance is going to break all type of viewing records on Sunday.

Yeah. People are going to love it. Yeah. He's going to do his thing. I saw Bousie out there campaigning for Chris Brown too at the Super Bowl. Absolutely. It's not happening. I know you get the inside scoops.

Why wasn't Chris Brown in any of the nominees? Like, why in the categories for nominees? I don't have that answer, but I can act. He was there with a song. Album, singles. I know I saw him. And people are excited to see him on the carpet. Yeah, but I'm like, what the hell?

I don't know. But that's a question we can ask, though. But what was that? Y'all heard it? Okay, as we're wrap it up, speaking of stages. So yesterday, Little Wayne tweeted out something. That's your phone. Girl, you're losing your damn mind.

What is that? And that's your phone. I thought it was in my headphones. I didn't think I could hear that. All right, so yesterday, Little Wayne tweeted out a congrats to the Grammy nominees. And people took this as a company. Turn your phone off. Oh, it's my computer.

Oh my God. It's drugs ladies. Let's just get to the tweet. We got to wrap. So Little Wayne tweeted, congrats to the nominees and winners. Wasn't included as usual. I got to work harder as usual.

One time for my slime, Billy Belly. Now, listen, I don't understand Little Wayne and his, like, upset about not being included, but this tweet was not received well by the people.

It sounds like he was a sore, not even sore loser because he wasn't included. You just made that you just wasn't included. I mean, respectfully, I don't remember what Little Wayne put out last year. Did the Little Wayne put out in you? He had a drink dropped a whole loser.

album. He did? Yes. Louis Wayne dropped an album. What was the single? I really don't remember. I'm not even joking. Little Wayne is an all-time great. Yeah, but he dropped an album last year. It was the Carter Six. Yeah, Carter Six. Like, he dropped that came out in 2025. I remember the Carter Six, but I remember the music off of it. It was cool. Yeah. He was rapping.

He has a... It was cool. He was rapping. He was hanging up. Yes. Lou Wayne has a virtual halftime, Super Bowl halftime show that he's doing inside of like a game. What is it? Clash Royale? so people can watch him there. I don't remember the Card of Six at all. I mean, Little Wayne is the first ballot Hall of Fame,

but when it came to any discussions about, you know, best hip-hop albums last year, I did not hear the Car The Six in the mix. I didn't even remember that he put out the Card of Six. I remember the promo, but I don't remember any music from it. I just hate to hear Lil Wayne talk like this, because he's still a little Wayne at the end of the day, so I don't know.

But in the next latest, we're going to keep talking about these big stages. We've been having a lot of conversations about these award shows, and Hallie Barry did an interview, and she talked about how after she won her big Oscar, she was still black the next day and she made sure that she was reminded of it. Okay, so we'll get into it. Heavy birthday, Sean Kingston, y'all. He's 36 today. Is he still in jail?

I think so. Okay, well, happy birthday, clink, clink. Why you call that man, clink, clink, clink? No, because he's in jail. Hey, man, his mother. Didn't his mother get locked up? I think both in the way? With no wig. Is she a member? Yeah. Okay. Well, happy birthday, Sean. All right. Well, Solomon, we're giving that don't kick. For him. Before after the hour, we need a man named, uh, Sherwin Shiregan to come to the front of the congregation.

That's definitely not his name, but all right. All of me tell you. that police officers say that he is a threat to the community, we shall discuss. All right. Can we get some bad bunny on right fast? All right, this is the breakfast club. Good morning. I'd be wanted to know how you came up with the donkey of the day.

Because you're mean. I am not. What did I do? There's a bunch of don't get a day. There's a bunch of don't people out here in the streets. If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend, we never would say anything. We don't give it to him. Give it to him.

On the breakfast club. In the words of Charlemaine the guy, He's a donkey. He's a motherfucking home. Oh, man, Charlaman, you giving donkey a day to who now? Well, Buster Rhyams. Donkey in the day for Tuesday, February 3rd, goes to a 42-year-old, Cleveland, Ohio man named Sherwin Shaiagan. Slukeye to everyone who listens to us on Real 106.1 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Dropping a clues bomb for Real 106. Point one in Cleveland. Cleveland, I don't know if you all know it, but the name I just said, Sherwin Shyigan. That person is considered by the North Olmston. police to be a threat to the community. Okay. North Olmstel police warned local schools he was in the

area and posted a warning on Facebook about Sherwin. They said he is considered a threat to the community. Okay, if police have to warn local schools that, you know, he was in the area. If police have labeled this man a threat to the community, then he must be doing something really nefarious. Okay, he could

potentially be in the Epstein files. I mean, he must be the degenerate of all degenerates. I did some research on this man and by research, I mean, I saw a news report on YouTube. And this man has cases in eight states. Eight states.

I know you're wondering by now, well, what the hell type of time is dude on? Well, I can't just go to one news report. I had to put together a collage. I had to have the producers put together multiple news reports that let you know how evil this man is. I just want you

to know this is very disturbing. It may trigger some of you. Let's listen. Unusual. odd, creepy. All words to describe a man that passes himself off as one big fan. The 200-pound Sherwin Shaghan has a nickname for himself, the piggyback bandit. For the last couple of months, a strange man has been showing up at high school sporting events, making friends with student athletes and then asking for piggyback ride. He said he wanted to take a picture with me and I was like, okay, that's fine. He took me in front of the door. And then he said for the picture that he wanted to

get on my back and I was like okay that's fine I guess it's and I was like I was like oh man so I was like you got to get off my back so as soon as he got off my back he had took off running outside and then after that I don't know sure when Cheygan has been all over the country jumping on people's backs just over a week ago she again was seen at Falkville high school at the school's pep rally witnesses say he found a football player and jumped on his back the player shook him off after realizing he wasn't a teammate that's when the bandit handed the teenager a note telling him not to open it until after the big game. Later that night, he opens the letter.

He states that here's $20, spend it wisely. You look good in the shorts that you're wearing. Goes on to say, you know, he should use his rear end for more than just pooping and farting. Gotta let a legend be a legend, man. Did he ask every time though? Not all the time, okay, but you gotta let a legend be a legend, a piggyback bandit.

This man used to call, this other part, that you all didn't see. In the news report, this man used to call 911 and tell the dispatcher he was having chest pains. When police would arrive, they would discover

the piggyback bandit butt-necked in bed, not suffering from any chest pains. This man just wanted some damn company. Okay, this is why some form of prostitution should be legal. At the least, he should get a free dog. Okay? The man is clearly bored and lonely.

He needs a puppy or something else that starts with pee, followed by a vowel, two humpbacks in a while. Okay? He brags about being the piggyback bandit. He goes around from state to state, showing up at various sporting events

and jumping on the backs of people. All right? Some are consenting high school athletes. Some are non-consenting high school athletes. So basically you win. Everybody's celebrating. He just comes and starts celebrating with you. Now, I'm looking at both these crimes he's committing,

calling police over, being naked, and then jumping on the backs of a high school athletes without consent. What he really wants to do is be the naked piggyback rider. Okay? wants to put his balls on the backs of young high school athletes all over the globe. Okay, this man has been doing this for a decade plus. Iowa, New Jersey, North Dakota, Montana. What I don't understand is, why don't grown men like this ever get their ass beat?

Okay, even if the high school students aren't the ones administering their hands. There has to be a father, an uncle, an older brother looking around asking questions. Like, who is this strange man on my son's back? Okay, nephew. Who was that man you was carrying around after the game? Hey, bro, one of those coaches got a little too excited, didn't he? Huh? That wasn't my coach?

I have no idea who that man was who just jumped on my back. Why didn't you help me? Now, in 2012, Sharon's mother told a reporter that her son is autistic, and he became obsessed with piggyback rides when he was the manager of his high school football team. I have no idea what being autistic has to do with this. The first thing I thought when I read that, does autism have a piggyback spectrum? Okay. And I asked Chat GPT this morning, okay?

And I screenshot it so y'all know I'm not lying. Hold on. Let me pull it up right now. Hold on. I screenshot it this morning. Okay. I said, I asked the question. I said, do autistic people like piggyback rides?

The hell. What did it respond? How did it respond? What? I did it respond. Look, do autistic people like piggyback rides? Chat GPT replied with a laughing emoji and said, honest answers. Some do, some absolutely do not, and some would need a detailed consent form first.

Then it said autistic people don't have a universal preference for piggyback rides. That's the moral of the story. Autistic people don't have a universal preference for piggyback rides. So don't blame autism on Sherwin's deviance. I have nothing else to offer to this story. Please give Sherwin Shaiigan the sweet sounds of the hamletones. Doggy Of the dead You all want to play a game? I do.

Yeah. Now I want to play a game? You want to play a game? Yes, I do. Yeah. All right, let's play a game of Guess what Races! All right, Sherwin Shaghan from Cleveland, Ohio,

known as the piggyback bandit, went around, just jumping on backs, balls the back from state to state. DJ Envy, Guess what Races? White. Shake it out Why do you say that with such confidence, sir?

All right, let's be honest, right? Yeah. If there was a black guy running around jumping on the back and some kids, some white kids playing football, he'd have been arrested. Why, you assume the kids were white? You just assumed the kids was white? Who said the kids was white?

You just assumed the kids was white. Racist Dominican? Yeah, the little boy sounded black in the report. Black kid ain't going to let nobody on the underback. I mean, he could be one of the little timid kids in a high school. Like, he don't know. Black kid. Just don't let no random go on the back of it.

Jump on my back. Okay. No, it's a celebration. Everybody's just celebrating the moment. Let me jump on your back then right now. I knew you wanted to be the piggyback, man. As soon as I told this story, I knew he was going to get bricked up over there and start getting ideas. Crazy.

Anyway, Sherwin Shaghan, 42-year-old from Cleveland, Ohio, was running around from state to state, putting his balls on people's back. He's known as the piggyback bandit. That's hilarious. Guess what race he is? White. So why do you say that? Just his name. I always go by the last.

names man I'm gonna be honest I'm just gonna assume this is white okay both of y'all are absolutely correct oh no that's what I'm saying it looks like something else going on right he is he white with a little downs you know what I mean yeah that's that's that's mixed that's mixed up yeah that don't make you buy racial this crazy this okay I don't know what is wrong with you don't make you bi racial ma'am okay that means you're white and you suffer from a condition. Okay? You need to stop.

He just told you. Shut up. I don't want to. I don't talk to you. I don't, cut up, Mike, why don't talk to you.

Yeah, I get it. I don't know. I don't know why I talked to you. I don't know. I don't know. I got to breathe. I'm trying. I got my crying now,

but can't. She's stupid. Them, dumb, dumb, get a little freaking. Y'all know that. It was one up here. Remember Ricky Smiley,

but one up here. And he was on me. I was like, all right. Come on. Yeah. Yeah, little Chris, man. They'd be freaky, man.

Okay. They're still human at the end of the day. I know, no, I know I'm just saying, but Dave, you're the first to get down with it. You know what I mean? They want to put it down. Yo. Yep, you're going to a lunch.

Guaranteed you're going to a lunch. Yes, you are. I'm telling you right now. I can't wait. I'm telling you right now. You're going to a lunch. Right now. Yep.

My gosh chat, GPT, you put the apology right now. You might as well. I'm trying to tell you right now. going to a lunch. Yes, she is. You're going to a lunch. I'm not going with you.

You're going by yourself. All right. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-105-1. Cam Newton is back at it. Cam Newton is one of the best media personalities doing this day. Yes, he is.

He keeps the computer's puting. Shout out. He sure does. And yesterday, he had a conversation. He was talking about platonic relationships. What? Platonic? You have any platonic relationships in your life right now?

With the woman? Yeah. No. I'm not about to be around. No women play tonically. See? Listen. We got to unpack this, Ken.

Why? Because I'm not about to play them type of games. Is it self-control? It may be self-control. I'm asking. If she's fine, I'm not about to have her around playing like I don't think that she's attractive. I don't have good-looking woman that's friends around me. So no.

Just all the, if I take the word friendship off of the table, do you have platonic relationships in your life that involve women? I just told you, I don't have no attachment. attractive woman that I'm cool with that I do not have plans on stabbing. That's crazy. Even this man is calling me ugly or because I'm his friend. Like, we're friends. What the hell you mean?

Definitely called you ugly. Or he called you the homie. 800-585-105-1. Can you be in a platonic relationship with someone that is attractive? Let's open up the phone lines. Let's talk about it when we come back. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. It's topic time.

Call it. 8.5105.1 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Salomey and the guy. We are the breakfast club. If you're just joining us,

we're talking about a conversation Cam Newton had a day ago, talking about being in a platonic relationship. He says platonic. Mm-hmm. Do you have any platonic relationships in your life right now? With the woman? Yeah. No.

I'm not about to be around no woman platonically. Listen. We got to unpack this. care. Why? Because I'm not about to play them type of game. Is it self-control? It may be self-control. I'm asking. If she's fine, I'm not about to have her around playing

like I don't think that she's attractive. I don't have good-looking woman that's friends around me. No. Just all the... If I take the word friendship off of the table, do you have platonic relationships in your life that involve women? I just told you, I don't have no attractive

woman that I'm cool with, that I do not have plans on staff. Damn. And you thought that y'all were friends. So either he's saying that you're not attractive, or he plans on stabbing you later on. Nah, but he don't. I know that.

Like me and Cam just real, real cool. So yeah, like I'm ugly to him. Damn, he just figured a homie. Yeah, that's cool too. But that usually means you ugly. Damn. The question is 800, 585-105-105-1. Can you be in a botanic relationship with someone who is attractive?

I don't see why you can be. Yeah, I've had platonic relationships with men who I find attractive. I'm just not attracted to them. Like, I'm not, I don't want nothing to do with you. I mean, I look at men all the time. Like, eye candy. Like, all right, cool. You know what I'm saying?

Even before I was married. Like, yeah, I had friends. I always had an attractive group of homeboys. Yeah, I'm not. I wouldn't say homeboys. But I don't have a problem with being around for your ugly, pretty, cute, handsome. Yeah. Whatever.

I said that wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're not. Do you have cute home girls? Like you have had like a cute homegirls? Are you talking about the guys? Because he definitely was talking about the guys. But no, if you have a cute home girl, that shouldn't matter.

Do you have attractive home girls? That shouldn't matter. Like you should be able to be friends with whoever you are. You should be able to control yourself or you shouldn't, like you said, they shouldn't be attractive to you. They could be an attractive person, but just not to you. Charlemagne, is it hard for you to work with me? First of all, I want to salute to Cam Newton. Okay, Cam has become a very entertaining media personality.

Drop on a clue bond for Cam Newton. I would actually say one of the best. I enjoy Cam on both his personal platforms, fourth and one, funky Fridays, and first take. And you know why I enjoy Cam? Because Cam is not afraid to express his authentic opinion, even if people disagree with him. Okay. And sometimes those opinions are stupid, okay? And this is one of those times, all right?

Yes, you can have platonic relationships with attractive women. First of all, what makes you think all these women want you? All right? That's true. Second of all, and this is the most important thing, and I want all of the men to learn from this, where is your self-control, King? That's the question I would have for any man who thinks like that. Men who control their lust have strong self-discipline and emotional maturity.

Okay, Cam is showing some emotional immaturity right here. And what I would say to Cam is once a man has conquered his lust, he becomes a focus, unstoppable man. You can acknowledge someone that's beautiful in your mind, but not try to crack. It's just that simple. Now, it would have been different than he was saying that, you know, he can't be around these women because they're always throwing the pooh-and-pum at him. Right, right.

But for him to say, it's him that's going to always try to crack. I would have to tell. Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm in a McLembourg. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. had both been assassinated.

And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia at Martin's Almemata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history. Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people would die. In 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone.

The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind. Listen to the A building on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing.

And immediately, the mask. came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home. That's your husband. So keep this secret for so many years. He's like a seasoned pro.

This is a story about the end of a marriage. But it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark. You're a dangerous person who prays on vulnerable and trusting people. Your creditor, Michael Levingood. Listen to

When segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping on another world. Inside Charlie's place, black and white people danced together, but not everyone was happy about it. You saw the KKK? Yeah, they were dressed up in their uniform. The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here.

Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him. From Atlas Obscura, Rococo Punch, and Visit Myrtle Beach, comes Charlie's place. A story that was nearly lost to time. Until now. Listen to Charlie's Place on the Iheart radio app. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather.

It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying. And drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents. I lied to police.

I lied to everybody. There were years right where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years.

I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around here in my wife. Boom, boom. This is The Red Weather. Listen to The Red Weather on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. For him that he needs more emotional maturity and a little bit more self-control. Absolutely. Hello, who's this?

Hey, this is Carly. Hey, Carly, good morning. Talk to us. What did you think about what Cam Newton said? First of all, I don't think that men and women can be platonic friends, especially if the woman is attractive because every chance that man gets, he going to try to shoot his shot. That's just not true.

She probably got cheated on by a nigga with a cute homegirl that he bust. No, I am the cute home girl. I say that. All of their girlfriends don't like me. None of them like me. But that's what I'm saying, though. Do you crack the guys? No, do you got a reason to be mad? I'm a homie. I'm the homie.

I'm the homie. No, I'm strictly the homie. All right, so you contradicted yourself. So, you know what I'm saying? You do believe in Platonic. Exactly. If you're the reason, the reason why I don't think that when you can be is because their girlfriends be mad at me and they be acting weird towards me. No, no, no, no.

That's not about the guy. It's not about that. You just said that the guy treats you. like the homie and you're just the homie. But what that got to do with the woman feeling insecure? They ain't got nothing to do with the guy. But they start acting weird once that girlfriends get the trip. No, that's because he don't want to upset his girlfriend.

But once again, he still ain't trying to holl at you. He tried to holl at you. He didn't try to smash you. And you're not trying to holl at him, right? Not at all. Okay. Yeah. Now you realize you ain't as cute as you think you are. Yeah.

Hey, yo. Hello. You know this. Hello. Damn. Good morning. Hey, what's your name? Good morning.

My name is Marisol. How you guys? Hey Marisol, come on. What did you think? What, uh, what, um, Cam Newton said? Let me tell you right now, that's the same one, the energy that he's coming with, the same energy as like that weird cousin that's like,

oh, oh, what are you feeling out? Like, I feel like it's given heavy beta male energy. If you can't really see Pasamo's beauty, then like at that point, you don't even seem like a human being anymore. And like, if you're walking around Earth as a man, not seeing other women as human beings, because they're attractive,

the parade on the girls, Delete it. Listen, I agree with you. Can ask you a question? Why did you start off by saying that's like that weird cousin? You got a cousin that tried? I feel like there's always that one world weird cousin that's like, oh, everything's corbary.

They start filling out and they're like, oh, I'm the Dominican. So you're going to be in the same idea about like, you see as people are getting attracted, and getting old, they're filling out and then making those kinds of comments. It's the same like category as the creepy uncle category. Got you, got you, got you. Got you. Okay. To all the Dominicans out there.

There's literally. 800585-105-1. I really don't understand how you can't work with somebody. You can't be friends with somebody, I should say. You can't be friends with somebody because of the way that they look. Yes, you can't be friends. You can understand. I can.

Yes, you can. The reason you can understand men who lack self-control. You understand men who are emotionally immature. And I, and I rock with Cam Heavy, but that was a very emotionally immature statement to me. So does that mean you could only be friends with ugly people because ugly people is, and then what does that mean to your friends? Now they know they ugly. But you do need a balance, though. You can't have all people.

pretty friends. Some of y'all have to be ugly. It has to be a ratio. So you pick your friends of how they look? No, no, no, no, no. But it just, well, yeah, just sometimes. That's not how I pick my friends based off spirit. Based on who they are. Two things. You be sure at the same time, spirit looks,

you know, yeah. But every once in a while, I guess you need ugly friend, that's what Shalerman around? Yeah, that's, no. Yeah, you said, yeah, no, no, 800. I'm 95. I know that. I know that. We're talking about what Cam Newton said. This is what he said. Now. You have any platonic relationships in your life right now? With the woman?

Yeah. No. I'm not about to be around no woman play tonically. Listen. We got to unpack this, can. Why? Because I'm not about to play them type of games. Is it self-control?

It may be self-control. I'm asking. If she's fine, I'm not about to have her around playing. Like, I don't think that she's attractive. I don't have good-looking woman that's friends around me. No. Just all the... If I take the word...

friendship off of the table. Do you have platonic relationships in your life that involve women? I just told you, I don't have no attractive woman that I'm cool with that I do not have plans on stabbing. There's a lot of people on the line that actually agree with them. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's this? Mom, what up, Do? What's the deal, man? I'm with Cam on this man. Hell no, you can't do that, bro. They can't do what? You can't be friends with an attractive woman. No. Hands a man, you're saying? did the plan with you too much, spending too much time? No, uh-uh.

Let me tell you something. You brothers are going to miss out on some great friendships. You brothers are going to miss out on some great business, all because y'all can't control yourselves and y'all got emotional limit your- I'm straight. I can't do it. I know I just can't control that part. You probably can't either.

He's just talking. That's not true. I'm around nothing but beautiful women all day long, from business to personal. Hello, who's this? Thank you, y'all. I knew that you knew. Please do you. No.

Go what you say? Talk to us, brother. We're asking 800-585-105-1. Can you be in a platonic relationship with someone who's attractive? Yeah. I have plenty of female friends that are attractive, but just because they're attractive, don't mean the head should be right. You gay?

What the hell is? No, no. No. No. Don't even dignify that with a response. He's got nothing to do that. Because he sounded lightening the voice. I'm saying.

Oh, my God. You lighten the voice. Are you gay? No. Damn. No, no, because, shoot, I get to know them, but then I have to get to know. He'd be like, hold on. Like, why she's singing?

You know, she's out. You know, she's in the jail and all that. So he just friends. I ain't trying to get into it because I ain't trying to be the next thing to be scared. Listen, man. That's not a strong. Hold on. He's a whole on.

You all bugging. I love being big bro. I love being unk. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, man. I love that. I genuinely enjoy that. You know, when I did Poor Mind's podcast,

salute to Drea and Lex. Drey and Lex at the end of the podcast, they said, they said, man, I just want to thank you, man, for never being weird.

It was like, you know, you'd be around a lot of guys in this industry and they'd just be weird. Oh, yeah. And that's what they're talking about. Like, why you gotta be weird?

Like, you can't be around a pretty girl and just mind your goddamn business. And listen, Dreia and Lex, pressure. So I know I already know it was, man. Hello, who's this?

When you wear that hat, you get real study. You get real study all morning. I'm not going to lie to you. Hello, who's this. Good morning, this is Taze from Houston Tech for everybody, Greg.

Peace Tay. Oh, that's with Dreya and Lex from too, by the way. See, that's a great segue. Yep. Talk to us. What's your thoughts, Mama? So I actually did this to my friends yesterday because I was thinking

to Mom's side of a flight of stairs. Like, if Martin had him at this juncture where everything that he's going through to know, he can't have a proprietary relationship. I think it's bad when men think they can and they really can't. So, shout out to him. for doing something different

to go over him. But you know what you're essentially saying is I can't be around beautiful women without trying them. Because I have no self-control. I don't got no self-control. That's literally what you're saying in that moment. Yeah. And because he said that I know myself.

He said it. There's no self-control. Yeah. All right. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is, yes, you can have platonic relationships with attractive women. Okay?

That's the moral of the story. And yes, you know, men who control their lust have strong self-discipline and emotional, maturity, okay? Yes, that's what I would tell all of you brothers out there. And once you are able to control your lust and conquer your lust, you become a focused, unstoppable man. And Jasmine is the strongest woman that I know.

Jasmine, Cam Newton's girl, she is the strongest woman I know. Salute to Cam. Always entertaining. That's right. One day, Cam, Cam, going to get some type of conversation started. Saluted Cam. That's right. All right. When we come back, we got the latest with Lauren, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Lauren becoming a straight fat

She gets them from somebody That knows somebody She gets the details I'm the home girl that knows a little bit About everything She'd be having the latest on this The latest with Lauren La Rosa Sometimes you have facts

Sometimes you have details Sometimes you have a little bit everything Fuller's the latest Brought to you by Top Dog Law On the breakfast floor That was better right That was better Somebody told him to turn it down

Yeah I wish I was in a room When he scared y'all yesterday It scared me too I had never heard it. And you got to turn the volume down, man. You tend to be screaming on people like that. You call an attorney for you. All right, y'all.

Let's get to this hour. So before we get to the Hallie Berry conversation, I wanted to play a clip really quick. So Nikki Minaj, she sat down with Katie Miller for the Katie Miller podcast, and that actually airs tonight. So they've been releasing all these small clips. And in the latest one that they released,

Nikki Minaj is talking about why she chose to get into politics and why she chose to back Donald Trump. Let's take a listen to Nicky on why she got into politics. into politics. You've been recently very vocal about politics and social issues. Was there a specific moment that flipped the switch for you? So the last thing that really did it was me seeing this recent campaign, presidential campaign, and knowing that I could help because the things that I was saying, it was happening.

Like, I was saying, oh, this is a bad idea, or this is a good idea, or just, and the things that I was saying were coming to fruition. And so it made me think, oh, this is easy. I mean, if it's this easy, then maybe I should do it. And then there was something that happened a few months ago that if I wasn't going to do it before, something happened a couple months ago. What happened?

I don't want to talk about it. But I'll say sometimes people can push you so much that they push you all the way into your next calling. I have no idea what she's talking about. She's saying that there was something that happened in her life that pushed her into being the new face of the next calling. the Trump administration. Oh.

Yes. I see, I don't have an issue with her being in the politics, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with her position. I don't have to agree with the things that she say. She's entitled to, you know,

to ride with whoever she wants to ride with, but I don't have to agree with it. Listen, if you don't do politics, politics will do you. Okay, so everybody should be in politics in some way, shape, or form, but elections have consequences so when you support something,

or please remember you are directly responsible for, you know, whatever, for everything that person does? Well, Nikki Minaj says that she got in, speaking of that person, Trump, she says she got into it, specifically with Trump, because she felt like she was watching him get bullied

and she could identify with that. Let's take a listen. What issue specifically drew you in the most? Is it immigration? Is it the economic policy? Religious freedoms? Definitely. Religious freedom is something that's very important to me.

But if I'm being honest, President Trump, because when I saw how he was being treated over and over and over, I just couldn't handle it. I felt that a lot of that bullying in the Samar campaign and all of the lying, I felt that that had been done to me for so many years.

And I was watching it in real time happen to someone else. And I didn't think he deserved it. Well, that's not a good reason, because he may not be getting bullied. He may be getting what he deserves, right? There may be something there. And you should investigate that before you just jump out there and say,

this person is being bullied, because the criticism this person is receiving may be valid. And I was going to say that. And in this case, it is. I was wondering if she's actually getting accurate information, if she's understanding the information. Is she getting the right information to say what she's saying or to ride with who she's riding with?

If she's getting the proper information or is it just things that she's reading online? Man, there's so many other people that she could have endorsed who getting bullied out here or just help or support. Politicians get bullied. That's the part of it. And they are bullies.

And if you're not doing what the American people want you to do, you will get criticism for that. Yes. And if you're committing crimes and if you're being corrupt, You will get criticism for that And you should be prosecuted for that So you can't call things like that bullying

The chat is the same because Kamala called on Cardi B and Megan and not her So that's... I hope that is not the life issue That pushed her to where she is right now Because that is... Well, we don't know. They probably did reach out And she declined. I mean, we don't know Who reached out to her or not.

I mean, but... Yeah, well, I mean, in other news. So Hallie Berry, speaking of politics, you all remember when Holly Berry had made the comments that she made about Gavin Newsom? and him supporting women better. So she's speaking to the cut in an interview, and she rarely does interviews.

She says in this interview, it's a written interview, so you won't hear her. But she says in this interview that she rarely does them because after her last divorces, the conversations are always about who she's dating and making her like this damsel in distress,

and she's not that. So she talks a bit in here about, you know, Gavin Newsom, and she says she still stands where she stands. He needs to make sure that he's not overlooking women, but more importantly, she gets into the whole Oscars and, like, awards show conversation. So you guys know that Hallie Bear me

People saying she only got to Oscar She was popping that Poon Poon for a Goon on TV I mean she didn't that rob up down What's that good name? Bobby and Monster's Ball Thornton? I don't remember. What she more directly talks about In that regard is the fact that she won that Oscar

And it was historic because to this day She's the only black woman to win an Oscar For Best Actress For Monsters Ball Gave an emotional speech all the things But she says that didn't change The course of her career She says after I won it

I thought there was going to be like a script truck, a truck for the scripts showing up outside of my front door and she says I was wildly proud, I was, while I was wildly proud, I was still black the next morning.

well it's black history month so what we doing man salute to my guy B.DOT you know every day during Black History Month, my man B.Dop puts out a podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network called I Didn't Know maybe you didn't either. And he gives you these things about black history that you may not know. And today he's going to tell you about who invented the traffic light. Traffic Light started with a disaster. I didn't know. Welcome back, No, at All to another episode of the most anticipated podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network, especially in February, entitled I Didn't Know. Maybe you didn't either.

I'm your host, BDOT, WSSU, Mr. Alumni, 2025. And we'll kick off this episode with three of the most useless facts you'll never need, not a day in life. Your first useless fact, the man who invented the modern traffic lights once had to hire a white actor to pretend to be him. But nobody would buy from a black inventor. Your second useless fact, that same man walked into a tunnel, filled with poisonous gas, 120 feet under Lake Erie, just to rescue dying workers

while the city of Cleveland watched. And your third, useless fact, four white men received Carnegie Hero medals for the aforementioned rescue. But he was denied. Do you know why? Because I didn't. All right, first, let's talk about traffic lights.

Because when we think of them, we think them as boring, neutral, always been their infrastructure. But traffic lights, lights didn't start with water. They started with chaos. And the man who fixed it? Brough had to pretend he didn't even exist just to sell his own invention.

Let me tell you about Garrett Morgan. In 1914, Garrett Morgan invented something called the safety hood. Now, that was a breathing device that let you survive in smoke and toxic gas. The very first breathing mask, pretty much. Problem was, nobody would buy from him because he were black. So Garrett did something wild. He hired a white man to act like he was the inventor. And then Morgan disguised himself.

Some accounts say as Big Chief Mason from a Canadian Indian tribe. He filled a tent with noxious smoke, strapped on his device, and walked inside. He stayed in there for nearly 30 minutes. When he walked out alive, the crowd was stunned. Sales took off and then came July 24, 1916. The Cleveland Waterworks Tunnel Disaster. Dun, dun, dun. Construction workers was digging a tunnel 120 feet under Lake Erie,

four miles from the shore. And just before midnight, they hit a pocket of natural gas. The explosion killed 11 men instantly. They sent two rescue parties down. Ten of the 18 rescuers died from the gas. Nobody else would go down. At 4 a.m., the Cleveland police called Garrett Morgan. And they said, bring your hoods.

all of them. I know Gary Morgan probably thought, don't y'all white men in Cleveland got your own hoods? But that's a whole other conversation. Because Morgan grabbed his brother Frank, loaded 20 safety hoods in the car, and drove to the scene immediately. Then he did what nobody else would do.

He strapped on his own invention and walked into the gas field tunnel. Him and his brother pulled out survivors. They recovered bodies. Garrett Morgan saved more people than any other rescuer that night. Now let me tell you where, gets ugly.

For four white men received Carnegie Hero medals. Derek Morgan was denied. Why? Because the Carnegie Hero Fund said that Morgan had the aid of his safety hood, meaning he wasn't at the same extraordinary risk as the others.

His own invention was used against him. But wait, it gets worse. Once the word spread that the safety hood's inventor was black, themselves dried up like salt on a slug. But Gary Morgan didn't stop. In 1923, he saw one of the worst car accidents ever, and he patented something else.

A three-positioned traffic signal. See, before Garrett Morgan, traffic signals only had two positions. Stop and go. But Morgan added the third, the all-stop. That pause where nobody moves, that yellow light at Garrett Morgan. That moment became the foundation of modern traffic safety. And he sold that patent to General Electric for $40,000. But here's the plot twist.

It took until 1991, 28 years after Gary Morgan had died for Cleveland the name of water treatment plant after him. It took until 2016, 100 years after the disaster for the descendants of Morgan and the tunnel victims to meet for the first time. His daughter Sandra held back tears at the ceremony. Traffic lights didn't start with convenience. They started with a man who walked into death to save strangers, then got erased for doing it. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. It's time to get up out of here.

You can find that on my website as well. All right. You got a positive note. Yes, I do have a positive note, man. I was thinking about this because I saw this great quote by O.G. Mandino. And O.G. Mandino says that beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

I think that is a very dope quote. And I think that is a very good way to approach life and to look at people. Have a blessed day. Breakfast club, bitches. You don't finish or y'all done? Woke up. Wake you up. Wake that ass up. Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on Iheart Radio.

What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.
