He doesn't want Western culture infiltrating North Korea. That's what it is.

Yes. Wow.

Jess will have a lot of mess this morning We got donkey of the day at 8.04 this morning So you know if you have any donkey of the day requests feel free to send them in. That's right Yeah, and then we got front page news next with Morgan Wood. So we'll get to that next. Don't go anywhere. Wake your ass up It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club Let's get in some front page news

Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning, Envy, Charlamagne and Jess. Listen, there's a lot going on on the top of your headlines in the front page news, but first let's talk about this breaking news out of California firefighters continuing to battle a blaze moving fast through Palisades and the Los Angeles hills. The strong windstorm is making it difficult to control the wildfire in Pacific Palisades. The high winds are expected to continue to move through today. California Governor Gavin Newsom has advised residents

across the region to make evacuation plans. We'll also hear from Margaret Stewart, who is from the Los Angeles Fire Department, who called the situation incredibly unpredictable. Let's hear from Gavin Newsom and LAFD's Stuart. You may feel at home that you're fine down in Riverside County, San Bernardino County, down in Ventura County, other parts of the state. But there's a reason we pre-positioned hundreds of assets and personnel on

Sunday in anticipation of this wind event. It's very dynamic and challenging to predict fire, which is why we have such an expansive evacuation zone. We want to get everybody out of the area safely. Yes. So Stuart went on to say strong winds have grounded all aircraft, including water dropping helicopters, and this is a developing situation. So I will keep you guys posted as the situation develops. Are these fires a natural phenomenon? Yes, they do not know how the fires started but it does appear to be like brush. Brush fires, yeah I got family out there that said they haven't had power in the last two

days and a lot of the popular restaurants have been shut down because they've been burnt down so if you have family out in California, definitely pray for them or tell them to evacuate if they need to. Don't tell them to stay there to try to save that house, get the hell out if they need to. I mean, you gotta have the money to evacuate and it's the middle of the week.

Kids are in school, you got jobs to go to. Like it's not as easy as just, you know, up in an evacuation. You might not have a choice if they're burning. Yeah. I wish more people could afford to have the choices, I'm saying you know what I do one to two I want to ask a firefighter this why do they throw water on the forest fires but didn't they tell you like not to throw water on like electric fires and grease

fires like I wonder what's the difference? Every fire is different. Every fire is different. And that's why I wonder why. I wonder why. Different ways to how they're ignited. Different power. Yeah different ways to handle different fire water would not handle a grease fire. We know that water and oil don't mix. So you would have to handle that fire a different kind of way. But moving on, Vice President Harris's Los Angeles home is actually in the evacuation zone in Brentwood in the eastern point of the evacuation zone. However, she is actually here in Washington, DC. The fire would past at least 80 miles per hour has burned nearly

3000 acres of land with no containment. 80 miles per hour has burned nearly 3000 acres of land with no containment. Now, the VP has issued a statement saying her heart goes out to those impacted by the devastating wildfires. And she also went on to say that her and President Biden are committed to ensuring that no community has to respond to the disaster alone at adding that they have already mobilized federal federal resources to suppress the fires and provide overhead support. Moving on, this is just again, that's a very sad situation. Moving on, the United States, we're still in mourning of the 39th President Jimmy Carter. Now, his remains arrived yesterday after being flown from Georgia earlier in the day.

Carter's family and hundreds of lawmakers watched as a honor guard carried his casket up the steps to the Capitol. He is now lying in state at the U.S. Capitol. Vice President Harris delivered the eulogy during a memorial service in the Capitol Rotunda yesterday and noted how Carter was able to broker peace between Egypt and Israel, adding that he was a respected global leader who will be remembered for his legacy. Let's hear from VP Harris on late President Carter. Through his unshakable belief in the power of American diplomacy, he secured the Camp David Accords. He instituted full diplomatic relations with China, which he would later call one of the

most historically significant accomplishments of his presidency. Jimmy Carter established a new model for what it means to be a former president and leaves an extraordinary post-presidential legacy. I bet President Carter's spirit is like, if you don't hurry up and bury me. Yo, I was thinking the same thing. I was just thinking when did he die? Because I feel like it's been a while. I died at a hundred. I'm ready to go. I don't need to be lying in state at the US Capitol. Y'all been watching me lying in state for the last decade. I was just thinking, I was like, when did he, I thought he died like way before New Year,

like right, like Christmas, like day after Christmas, right? He kind of, he kind of, he kind of did because he was kind of already shut up Yeah, shut up like we used to see him like a couple months ago. He was just laid out mouth wide open He's all right Let's front page news what we do in next hour Next hour we're gonna talk about Trump and all the things that he had to say at his Mar-a-Lago presser. So we'll get into that. All right.

And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, call us up right now. Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. It's a new day. Is it your time to get it off your chest? Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed. It's time to get it off your chest? Wake up. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed. It's time to get up and get something. Call up now.

800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Mainstream out of Atlanta, Georgia, man. What's up, Mainstream? Good morning. Get it off your chest, brother. Hey, man.

First of all, man, good morning to everybody. Charlamagne, Envy, Jess. Good morning to y'all. Peace, brother. Hey, man. What's up, man? What's up, man? Hey, man.

What's up, man? Hey, man. What's up, man? Hey. Get it off your chest brother. Okay, man. First of all, man Um, good morning to everybody Charlamagne envy. Yes. Good morning y'all these brothers Now I want to speak on a sweet sweet thing man Um, I know y'all gonna disagree to show the man I hear what you preaching up listening out for 10 years I know your angle but my wife is in the healthcare field, right and when they're charging people $1,000 for a pill that cost them $10, and your family members are dying because they can't afford these pills, that's what people are upset about. That's why people are in support of Luigi.

Because some of these pills that they're charging, $100 a pill, they're paying a dollar to make. And the healthcare field is getting over on us so bad, that people are dying in price. How do you expect somebody to feel sorry for Luigi when our loved ones close to us are dying because we can't afford this medicine? I agree with you about the price of medicine. I understand everything that you're saying, but killing people in the healthcare field isn't going to change the price of medicine. Like you said, your wife is in the healthcare field. What if somebody got upset

because they got charged too much money wherever she works at and they decide to kill her? Would that solve anything? But that's how I know how much bills cost because she's one of the ones I know that's fighting the lower the cost of these bills. I'm probably, she's finding ways to help these people get bills at a cheaper price.

Absolutely, but people don't know that. All they know is that she's a person that works in the healthcare field. Yeah, that man didn't deserve to die. You know what I mean? Even though you're absolutely right with what's going on with the healthcare and the pills and the medals sitting in the shots. know that all they know sure that she's doing a phenomenal job and you know she's trying to help people but for the folks who don't know that and just look at her and say oh she's a symbol of the healthcare system and what if somebody wanted to take her out? Yeah that's that's would you agree with that then? I understand would you be so understanding? I get what you're saying I get what you're coming from but it's levels to it. All right man well have a good one

brother. Hello who Who's this? Happy new year, brother. Get it off your chest. Hey, I just want to give my daughter Wish her happy birthday. Today's our birthday. Okay. How old is she? Show me you drop a clue ball for my daughter one time. Drop one of clues ball for your daughter. What's her name again? Araya Scott How old is she brother? She turning six today. Oh man. I got a beautiful six-year-old at the house right now, man. What you doing with your birthday? What you doing with your daughter today for her birthday? Well, we just, I'm gonna give her a pizza party at school when I get off of work and then this weekend she's into skating so I'm gonna take the whole family skating.

There is nothing better than putting a smile on your daughter's face. Your child period, but I mean I got four daughters so that's all I know but there's nothing like putting a smile on your daughter's face your child period, but I mean I got four daughters So that's all I know but there's nothing like putting a smile on your daughter's face man. Absolutely right right You wanted a what did you want for a birthday? She wanted a dog and another and a little sister So we're actually pregnant We might tell it yeah, I'm not getting a dog She won't two things that require too much responsibility and that she will not be and that she will not be taken care of either One of those things You got to tell your wife that you wanna give your daughter

the present but you don't really wanna do it. You just do that to get something, that's all. I got you. That's it. Alright. Have a good one. Next is Confu, have a good one. You know what she wants for her birthday right?

She wanted another little sister, Let's work on that. He said his wife is pregnant. Now? Yes, that's what he just said. You don't be listening. No, I didn't hear that part. So why did he say that she wanted a little sister? Because they didn't tell her yet.

They said they didn't tell her yet. They said they might tell her today for her birthday. You don't be paying attention to that. No, I wasn't. I did not pay attention to that at all. All I heard him say was she wanted a little sister. No, he said his wife's pregnant so he might tell his daughter today. They haven't told the family yet. Oh, so his daughter getting what she wants for little sister. No, he said his wife's pregnant so he might tell his daughter today they haven't told

the family yet. Oh, so his daughter getting what she want for her birthday. Not the dog but the sibling. That's very stupid for him not to tell her today that she's pregnant. That's why I was confused. Oh boy. That she got exactly what she wanted. That's God.

So why wouldn't you just tell her, hey, you're getting what you want, she's pregnant. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Next right, we'll get to that. Just a little bit, just a little bit. We'll get to it next, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess.

The news is real, whether it's the hilarious Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying. She don't do no lying. Tell her I'm ready. She don't spell nobody. She don't spell nobody. Okay, so this is not really happy news, but for those who know Twitch from the Ellen DeGeneres show, he was the executive producer of that show. He was also a dancer and a DJ. He died by suicide back in 2022.

We were shocked by his suicide because from how he was remembered consistently, he was a very happy person, didn't show any signs of struggle and all of that But yesterday people exclusively released an interview with his widow Alison Holker and during the interview She had shared some things that she had realized about him having an alleged drug addiction while she was preparing for his funeral The moment I was with one of my really dear friends and we were cleaning out the closet and picking out an outfit for him for the funeral. And it was a really triggering moment for me because there was a lot of things I discovered in our closet that I did not know existed. And it was very alarming to me to learn that there was so much happening that I had no clue. So that was, it was a really scary moment in my life to figure that out.

But it also helped me process that he was going through so much and he was hiding so much and there must have been a lot of shame in that and he was wrestling with a lot inside himself and he was trying to self-medicate and cope with all those feelings because he didn't want to put it on anyone because he loved everyone so much he didn't want any other people to take on his pain but it was very alarming and scary to find those things and have never known. And she claimed that he had like a bunch of drugs,

like shrooms, pills, and other things that she needed to look up on her phone that she wasn't familiar with. And she said these things were hidden in shoe boxes. And then following the interview, his family and friends had reacted to her comments. The first to say something was TV personality Candace Dillard Bassett. She's one of the housewives and she had said, I'm not even going to say

it, but this white woman is doing everything but protecting her black children and her black husband's legacy. She could have kept that in her therapist office. Shake out my head. I respond. I mean, I agree with that because it's like damn you know but when you look at it on the other side of things you got people like other fans who were saying like she was probably trying to bring awareness of you know mental illness and drug abuse or whatever like that and Candice followed up by saying she could have just easily taken this story

to Essence or Ebony where care would have been taken to share such a tragically intimate story of a black man's plight against himself. Now it's important to know all of this that Twitch is autopsy like ever if his report confirmed that there was no alcohol or drugs in his system at the time of his death even Twitch cousin Dariel also went off on Alison she said I'm so tired of keeping my effing mouth shut bro she won't let our family see the kids he He wasn't an addict. He smoked weed and was actively trying to quit that. He wasn't some junkie. She also claimed that

Ellison made Twitch's mother and family sign NDAs in order to attend his funeral. Twitch's friend Courtney Ann Platt also chimed in and read Ellison for filth. I'm just reading a little bit of it. It says, this is by far the most tacky classless opportunistic act I've ever seen in my entire life. We all had to sign some weird NDA to attend this funeral, even his own mother, who was treated like garbage this entire time. So it's just a whole bunch. Yeah, obviously you can tell that she don't mess with the family like that. That's what you could tell just from there.

But I kind of agree with the family like that. That's what you could tell just from there, but I kind of agree with the family I mean is certain things that I would I would have wanted to be left out like if he did have a drug problem And there was a situation that he was fighting and nobody knew I say you protected. That's just me That's how I feel I would protect any of my family members if that's what they were going through Now if it came out and she wanted to say it it was out and about and everybody knew that's a different situation But you're telling people I just think you don't like like the family member said just for the sake of the family the sake Of the mom the sake of the children as things that if she wanted to discuss discuss with the family on the low But not to bring that out to the public. That's just my thoughts

Absolutely, and she was interviewed by people to promote her new book. So First of all thin healing, I'm sending healing energy to the family of Twitch. Until you said that part, Jess, I didn't understand the point of his widow telling those stories, unless she's probably trying to show people signs for folks to look out for,

but she's selling a book. So that's what that's about. But if you aren't even sure what Twitch is going through, why share that? Or what he was going through, why share that? Because he said she just found out when he passed, like she didn't know, so. Hey, it's Nikki Glaser.

We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow. I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. You know, when you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm what you love about the hair you were told not to love.

So when I think about beauty is so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives of who we were, how we want to see ourselves and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present and future, all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It can be something that you love. All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls starting on January 1st on the iHeartRadio app, Apple

Imagine if he was just holding the drugs for his peoples it could be a situation. She's promoting her book and it's not just about promoting her book I don't want people to think that she's just using her you know ex-husband's death as

marketing she's telling her story correct that's part of her story that's in her memoir I get it. I mean but she's a clown though cuz that's too much I mean in my opinion she's a clown got you so that's that that's just with the mess as well. All right now early I know when we did the tease I was talking about Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard. I don't need to talk about it now But I said he was I said he was 6'3". You said Dwight Howard was 6'3". He's not 6'3". He's like 7'3". Something like that right? He's like 6'10". 6'10". Jack is like 7'3". 7'3". It was like 7'7". I got the size is wrong, but anyway What's wrong with that? You always get guys sizes wrong. Shut up. You can't take anything serious. That's why the guy caught earlier said you always talking gay

That's why you say you suspect white is 610. Okay. Yeah, he's 610 shack is like 7 foot 7 3. All right All right. Well when we come back, we got front page news Then we have the president of NAACP Derek Johnson the president and CEO of BET, Scott Mills, and Chloe Bailey will be joining us. The NAACP Image Awards nominations were released yesterday, so we'll talk to them all about it. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning, Morgan.

Good morning, NV. Yes, and Charlam front page news. Morning, Morgan. Good morning, Envy. Yes, and Charlamagne. Y'all doing all right this morning? Yes, ma'am. Okay, well, let's get into it. President-elect Trump is criticizing President Biden as his time in office is coming to an end. Trump spoke at his Mar-a-Lago residence

the day after Congress certified his election win and suggested the Biden administration is doing the American people wrong and claimed inflation is raising, raging, excuse me. Here's Trump's comments on the transfer of power. Let's hear more from President-elect Trump. We are inheriting a difficult situation from the outgoing administration and they're trying everything they can to make it more difficult. And I've been disappointed to see the Biden administration's

attempt to block the reforms of the American people and that they voted for it. They just, we had a landslide election. We won every swing state. We won the popular vote by millions and millions of people. Yeah, Trump had more to say. He also said that the Gulf of Mexico would be getting a new name.

Let's hear those comments from the president elect. We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. What a beautiful name. What do you guys think about that? Gulf of America?

We like it. Donald Trump. Whatever you want. Yeah. Yeah. Donald Trump shows me what's politically possible. Trump shows me what presidents can do if they want to do it. Donald Trump shows me what can be said if you are willing to say it. It's not about what can't be done. It's about who has the political will to do it. I don't want to hear a peep from Democrats about nothing until they get the balls to

say what's really on their mind in regards to this country in this world. Trump doesn't care if it sounds ridiculous, Trump doesn't care if it makes sense, it's no political correctness whatsoever. As I've been saying for years the language of politics is dead and Donald Trump killed it. Period. Well while we're on the topic President-elect Trump is declining to rule out the use of military or economic force to gain control of Greenland or the Panama Canal. He admitted that we need the respective countries for economic security, but he threatened to hit Denmark with tariffs if Danish officials didn't cooperate with his bid to take over

Greenland. When asked if he would rule out military or economic coercion to get Greenland or the Panama Canal, Trump said, I can't assure you of on either of those two. Now the president-elect also said he would consider using economic coercion to convince Canada to become the 51st state and part of the United States. Now let's not forget that president-elect Trump will be sentenced this week, Friday, January 10th. This comes as a judge is rejecting his efforts to stop his sentencing. Trump is going to be sentenced for a criminal conviction

in his New York hush money case. Friday, Judge Juan Mershon set January 10th as Trump's sentencing date. Now Trump's lawyers appealed the decision to dismiss his attempts and have his conviction tossed out. He is now scheduled, of course, to be sentenced on Friday, just 10 days before he is set to be inaugurated. Wow. I can't tell you one thing. Everybody involved in that New York case, y'all on that

list. Letting you know right now. You know Trump got a revenge list and y'all on that list. You know who may not be on the list? Mark Zuckerberg. Now, Meta is ending its fact checking program in favor of a community-based system, similar to Community Notes on X. Now the changes were announced yesterday by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and will affect Facebook, Instagram and threads. Let's hear more from Zuckerberg on that announcement. There's been widespread debate about potential harms from online content. Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more.

A lot of this is clearly political. But there's also a lot of legitimately bad stuff out there. Drugs, terrorism, child exploitation. These are things that we take very seriously, and I want to make sure that we handle responsibly. So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content. But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes. Even if they accidentally censor just 1% of posts, that's millions of people. And we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship.

Yeah, so Zuckerberg said the idea is to focus on reducing those mistakes and restoring freedom of expression. Now he cited the recent election as a big reason behind the decision criticizing governments and legacy media for pushing for more censorship. What do you guys think about that? So basically no more fact checking.

You get to say what you want on these social media platforms. I mean, what's new? Is that new? That's not new. None of that matters anyway. Facts don't matter over feelings nowadays. People don't read the fine print and that's what those community notes are anyway. Fine print so like the fact checking don't matter, the community notes don't matter.

Nobody cares about the truth from the lies more entertaining I thought they put up algorithms to stop a majority of that or to try to stop it But I guess that that's all thrown out the window now right the algorithm that could stop it I guess certain keywords and things like that. Yeah, they actually came to fake news and stuff like that They actually contracted a number of fact-checking companies throughout the world globally to make sure that, you know, to basically watch these type of things. But yeah, that's not gonna be the case anymore. So you pretty much get to say whatever you wanna say.

But what would be changing? Haven't people been saying whatever they wanna say on social media for years? Pretty much. That's what social media is. You may, you know, in the past you may have received like a notification or your post may have been taken down or removed, those type of things will not happen. Oh, got you, got know, in the past you may have received like a notification or your post may have been taken down or removed.

Those type of things will not happen. Oh, so now you're supposed to just be up there. Yeah, yeah. You know how you might end up in like the Facebook jail because you said something crazy. Well, maybe that's not that may not be the case anymore. And then certain lawsuits come from that too, right? Like you say whatever you wanted and you end up being sued, but that's not going to be a problem now because no, yeah.

Yeah. So basically, again, it opens that Pandora's box or it pretty much brings us back to Ground zero when it comes to freedom of expression say what you want I mean, that's the that's really the biggest problem The really the biggest problem is that these social media platforms can't be held accountable for any of the lies that are on their Platforms because like if I get on this radio and say something that's not true somebody can sue me and I think it's who? the radio station is who I heart like they do a bunch of different people they can sue you can't do that when it comes To these social media platforms you can sue the person the individual that said it but not the platforms not being held responsible correct Alright, let's bring things home quickly to New York the FBI says there's more criminal conduct by New York City Mayor Eric Adams

That's what federal prosecutors are claiming in a new court filing with Adams telling news reporters yesterday that he is taking the advice of his lawyer to stay disciplined. Let's hear from New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Even Ray Charles can see what's going on. I've said over and over again, I've done nothing wrong. Let the attorneys do that. I have to run the city. I've said over and over again, I've done nothing wrong. Let the attorneys do that. I have to run the city. I'm focused on running the city.

Can I make that any clearer? I'm focused on running the city. I think it's clear what's happening right now. Reach out to my attorney. He's reachable. So the new filing doesn't provide specifics, but Adams has pleaded not guilty in a five count indictment and charging him with accepting luxury travel in exchange for political favors, mostly on behalf of Turkey.

Now, the disclosure of possible additional criminal conduct came in response to Adams' lawyer requesting more information about the initial charges. Now, prosecutors have said a superseding indictment containing additional charges is likely in the mayor's case now Adams is expected to stand trial in April of course I'll keep you guys posted on what's going on with that otherwise that's your front page news I'm Morgan Wood and I wanted to point out Mayor Adams said even Ray Charles can see what's going on that's because Ray Charles is in heaven okay he's been dead for 20 years. Okay. All right. You should have used Stevie Wonder.

He's still alive. That's all I'm saying. All right. Thank you. Thank you guys. Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan Media for more news coverage. Follow at Black Information Network.

Now when we come back, Chloe Bailey, the president of the NAACP, Derek Johnson, and the president and CEO of BET Scott Mills will be joining us. The NAACP Image Awards is out. The nominations were released yesterday and the show is going to happen February 22nd. So we're going to talk to them when we come back.

So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne, and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here with us this morning.

And we got some special guests in the building. We have Derek Johnson, the president of the NAACP. Welcome. You're here. We have Scott Mills, CEO of BET. Good morning. Thank you for having me. And we have a friend to the room, cousin to the room, Chloe Bailey, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back. Hello. How you for having me and we have a friend to the room cousin to the room Chloe Bailey ladies and gentlemen

Welcome back. Hello. How you feeling? How's everybody? Fantastic. All right, so we're talking about the NAACP image Awards live Which goes down February 22nd and you guys have released some of the nominations and you about to tell us who's gonna be the host Actually, we're not yet disclosing. Okay It's hard to be both a nominee and a host so that is correct Growing up as well We would go and sing a lot of times at the events in Florida several times and things like that.

It was just really special to be a part of this today with Praise This, the movie I did with Will Packer winning last year. It was a surprise to me today as we were announcing some of the nominations, I got another nomination. Congratulations. Oh, you didn't know that? No. God is good. I am grateful.

I think the first time you all joined us at ACP, you were like 11, 12. Yeah, babies. Yeah. Oh yeah. Well I think it's important for you to be here with them, especially putting your voice on it, because I think there's always a conversation

around the award shows that we have and whether people in what level of celebrity support it or not. So I think you being here and being kind of like a face of it helps that. Are you at all working with the NAACP in these image awards? Are you at all getting out there for other award shows and just kind of being a champion of that? Like in calling your friends and being like, Hey, y'all need to make sure y'all show up. Like

which celebrities are you like, hey, make sure you show up, particularly Beyonce. She came to the NAACP before her. Yes, and I know we getting there. Yeah, I think this one is really especially important because it is honoring us and all of our blackness and sometimes it's hard in this world and society today to not feel valued or feel worthy enough but definitely in this space at the Image Awards, you know, we are celebrating one another for not only our skin tone but also the incredible art that we put into the world. Now how do we bring award shows back

to where it used to be, right? I remember as a kid growing up. Money. Money. No, it's perfectly great. Talk about it. Money. Because growing up as a kid, that's what we look,

we expired to watch, we expired to, we wanted to see the NAACP awards, we wanted to see the BET awards, and some of our biggest moments culturally came from those events. Soul Train as well. How do we get back to that? Now you say money, what does that money mean?

I mean the large marketing houses actually put an emphasis on black culture in a way in which it's not exploitive for their product line but their support for the culture's sake. What we have seen over time is a devaluing of shows like Soul Train, we love Soul Train, but escalation of resources for the Grammys or the Oscars or the Emmys while their viewership has been going down, they're still investing in it. But then they say your viewership is down, yeah, you don't invest. But if you invest, people want to see black entertainment, people want to appreciate the

culture and it's not just in the US, it's globally. I agree with that. But there are some black people who think white ice is cold. There absolutely are. I think one of the things that was interesting post that very brief moment of racial renaissance we had in this country post the murder of George Floyd. The black squares.

Right, right. That moment. The post that when we were preparing to do the image awards with the NAACP I would get these calls from journalists and they'd say is there still a need for the image award? Haven't we beyond that and I said so white right right and I said, you know, first of all I think that suggestion means you really don't understand why the image awards exist It is not it doesn't exist because we were excluded from other places. First and foremost, it is about that our community values being recognized

and celebrated by our community. And that has absolute value. But the second thing is what we understand about this country is it's terribly fickle, right? So today, oh yes, we're wonderfully popular and you want to include us in all of your award shows, but you know, this is not going to sustain. and what the NAACP and the partnership with BET we have a consistent commitment to celebrating excellence in our community and that's really what our partnership for the Image Awards is all about. Question for you guys because even in planning the show right so BET works with the NAACP to have the awards the program on the network people always

give you guys a lot of flack for what's on the network and what's not, saying that you need better shows or whatever the case may be. But the awards show, the image awards, it's always a good show in my opinion. How much do you get tired of the conversation of BET doesn't have good stuff to watch, that's why we don't watch it? Well, it's fascinating. I think there are always going to be people who are critical. That's the reality. The situation is really fun. This morning before coming over, I listened to your best of clip that you guys have online and one of your featured guests was Ms. Pat. Right. And it was through Lee Daniels reaching out to BET to say,

I have this series that only BET can create. The only platform in the world that can actually put this series out there is BET. It scares everyone else off. It's an important message. So we looked at it. We love Lee Daniels. We greenlit the series, right? And it actually secured BET's first primetime Emmy nomination because it was a really breakthrough show. And now everybody knows who Miss Pat is and she's going on. We're actually in the fifth season of that show. And whether it's that or the nominations that we've received for Diyarra from Detroit. I love that show.

Right? It's a fantastic show. D.R. R. Kilpatrick is an amazing talent and the show is great fun. And the amazing work we do with Tyler Perry. The reality is we have the biggest investment in black-focused content than any platform in the country. And even with that, you're never going to be able to satisfy every single audience. And so we recognize that there are going to be things that people love, there are going to be things that people wish for,

there are going to be things that people keep on saying, bring back music video shows. Music video shows don't work on linear television. That's just the reality of it. So what we focus on is what are the things that actually our audiences are really consuming and enjoying. So Tyler Perry's Sisters, we're going into the eighth season. It is the single most watched show among black people on all of television, not all of cable, all of television.

That's a fact. So more than anything on broadcast television. So people say, oh, you know, there will be some people who complain about BET, but the fact that we have the single most watched show in black households. So that is a long way of saying we're always striving to be more inclusive So we created our streaming platform BET plus to be able to create even more content

Speak to diverse audiences. We think our tent poles like the NAACP image Awards Like the BET Awards, which this year is going to celebrate its 25th anniversary, if you can believe that. We think our tent poles are those to their name. They are the things that allow us to bring a huge cross section of the community together to come and celebrate what's really important to us as a community. One of the things this year,

over 3 million folks tuned in, sorry, as over 3 million folks moved in, sorry, tuned in to the BET awards in 2024. And if you think about that, it means it's the single largest gathering of black people for a black event in the country, right? There's nothing else that 3 million black folks show up for. That is a specifically black event. And so you still have this opportunity to catalyze mobilize and engage our community

And you just have to be very thoughtful and have great partners like the NAACP We have more with Chloe barely the president of the NAACP Derek Johnson and the president and CEO of BET Scott Mills don't move is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody is the Nv Jess Larry Charlamagne the guy we are the, Lauren LaRosa is in on this interview as well. We're kicking it with Chloe Bailey, the president of the NAACP, Derek Johnson, and the president and CEO of BET, Scott Mills. The NAACP Image Awards will air on February 22nd. Now Charlamagne? What does BET mean to your generation, Chloé? Because you're 26. Yes, I think, you know, for me growing up, you know, I'm a music lover.

I grew up loving 106 and Park. Like, I think I could speak for everyone in my generation. You know, I know certain things go into a lot, but that was like the show for me to be inspired, to get excited. Like that was it. Like I'd run home from school and that's what I'd put on. So I was used to seeing people who looked like me who were succeeding in a field that I wanted

to succeed in one day so BET has always had a special place in my heart especially think of all the groundbreaking performances like you know when Beyonce had her incredible performance on there yeah you know I'm so grateful that I got to be on that stage two, three times. One of my favorite performances that I did on there was on BET. It was like this surprise treat me mashup. So it's like, I feel like BET gives a platform for all black artists, whether they are at the top of their game, or whether they're rising. And I think it's really special to have that support. to have that support. So when you hear that Scott, what do you think? So first, so I love it. And one of the things that we focus on is we understand people love 106 and park, right? And so the fact that it's, it doesn't work as a linear television show doesn't mean

106 and parks is over because we can bring 106 and park back as a podcast. We can bring 106 and park back as a digital experience. And we can just, we, we are evolving what 106 and park will look like in 2025 because it does have that very important role So y'all are bringing one of these to the club. I've heard I've heard that you guys are trying to figure out a show like that Yes, and we've got we've got a number of really exciting executions because it's also Uh, we're approaching the 25th anniversary of 106 and park as well So we will get a little bit ag and free in that 25 year You know

We we will we will you'll still be some things that you guys will be really excited about and we look forward to coming back and talk to you about 106. Noted. So, but I think the other thing that Chloe shared that is so important is we at BET exist to be in service of our community and our culture. That's what we exist for and we understand that there's a broad ecosystem of exist for and we understand that there's a broad ecosystem of different institutions and individuals that make up our community and our culture. And we are part of that broader landscape and that broader ecosystem and we play a supporting complementary role to our community and our ecosystem and whether that's celebrating

black excellence, whether that's mobilizing our community around important events, whether that's coming to the aid of our community post in the face of COVID. But to Chloe's very specific point, one of the things that our team loves is to be a platform that both celebrates our most successful artists who are absolutely at the pinnacle of their careers, and simultaneously to identify and support those emerging artists, to give them the platform because we were so many artists very first time to be on television, right?

So many artists very first time to perform. The number of managers and label executives who come up and say, we are so appreciative to be back at the BET Awards because this is where our talent XYZ got their very first break, that really resonates with our team. Can you tell us some of the performance

that you guys have planned for the NAACP awards? We will be revealing performers as we get closer. We're doing a rollout now and it's very intentional because we're trying to build the audience. The platforms by which people consume information is shifting every month. As you know, we grew up listening to Tom Jordan's morning show. Breakfast Club took it over. Well quite frankly that's going to be a podcast to take over Breakfast Club and so we're 160. First of all, Breakfast Club did not take over Tom Joyner. Tom Joyner retired on his own accord. No, no, no, no. I'm talking about the audience.

No, no, no, no. I'm just an audience. He's an audience. I know, but it's different audience. Tom Joyner was urban adult contemporary. He catered to the 2554 demo. We came around 18 to 24. And the Breakfast Club is a podcast, not just a podcast,

with the number one black podcast in the world and has been for eight, nine years. You doing everything perfect, but somebody gonna do it better later. Was it gonna be next month they come up or is it gonna be next year? You're doing everything perfect. Why do we do that as black people?

I don't know, you started that. You just asked me to start shitting. You asked me to be. You're doing everything. Why do we do that as black people? I don't know you started that. Something to replace something why all of these things can't coexist. It can coexist, but I'm responding to the tone and the tone is we have legacy organizations. We have media companies that have been flagged for our community. We have a show we're on now where the podcast has been excellent. We had other shows at sunset. It is a part of the ecosystem of who we are as a community and we should meet people where they are. Well who's replaced the NAACP there?

That's a good question. Are they ready? That's what I mean when I say that. Why do we do that as a people? Like oh just replace that. Like no everything can coexist. You you're not we we absolutely agree But the tone set was something differently right so as she is 26 and she can appreciate 106 in Park There are someone who's in ACP, but if an ACP is not the right vehicle or voice for them

I support them choosing the right vehicle voice because in the social justice movement. It's not a competition It's an opportunity for our voices to be heard. In an entertainment community it's not a competition it's an opportunity for our voices our culture to be to be experienced and that's how we should be approaching all of this and so where BET right now is in an industry that's shrinking overall what Scott is doing is trying to figure out okay how do we continue to advance our culture and our voice where in ACP we are in a political dynamic that has shift it is our job being the largest organizations in 47 states to

continue to evolve with that we're not going anywhere I don't want the breakfast club to go anywhere BT shouldn't go anywhere we should all be leaning to our culture our opportunity in our voice well I agree these institutions shouldn't go anywhere, but I do think they do have to evolve. I doubt I'll always be here as a host. I doubt Envy will always be here as a host. People like Lauren, the Jessers will take over

and everything. But when it comes to the NAACP or any of these institutions, whose job is it to tell our own stories? Us. It's our job, right? And that's why when we took over, we saw the partnership with BTB on Paramount. We have a joint venture with Paramount TV. We will have a soap opera aired next month on the 22nd on CBS Daytime. We're working we're about to launch our podcast is we have to evolve that our revenue streams have

to evolve. How we approach is organizations should not be driven by personality it should be driven by mission and strategy. So we all have to evolve. Let me ask you a question sports doesn't work well on BET? Sports works well on linear television the challenge is sports rights have gotten insanely expensive. Because I look at all these HBCU right I DJ'd the Howard Hampton game on CBS the other day and I'm watching a lot of these college games on TV and I always talk to myself with all the HBCUs and how it's been a spursBC use everybody's supporting HBC use was just always weird to me why BET didn't put their arm around and be like I need all those games so people actually come

there it's a great question and in fact when BET started BET used to air HBC games I'm told that there's footage of Bob Johnson running along the sidelines doing live commentary HBC games so I'm told that there's footage of Bob Johnson running along the sidelines doing live commentary at HBCU games, so I'm trying to look for it. But the reality is because of the evolution of college football and because of the proliferation of access to sports across all these platforms, the demand, the viewership interest in HBCU sports right now isn't high enough to kind of support the investment. Having said that, the entry point that we think is really exciting, that we're really focused on, is you now have a bunch of brothers who went off and played in the NFL have said, we want to remedy this dynamic where top black athletes feel like they have to go to other schools to be competitive. We want to remedy

that dynamic, right? So you saw, you know, you saw the recent announcements about the brothers, right? Right. Right. And Michael, right? So you saw the recent announcements about the brothers. Right, right, right. That's not our modern. Okay, there you go. And so now. About our university. Right, there you go.

So now the opportunity is we take our footprint, our platform, our relationships, and then we bring them to these luminaries who are going back to these HBCUs and building those teams. And then we focus on the stories and the people and the people and the journey, and we get a broader community to be excited about this, and we actually use it

to build interest in HBCU football, and that we think is the way to actually elevate interest in HBCU football, which will then allow us to bring more games to the network. All right, we have more with Chloe Bailey, the president of the NAACP, Derrick Johnson, and the president of BET, BET Scott Mills when we come back It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning

Yes. Bringing a date to the NAACP Awards. My god mom and my manager. Okay so we ain't gonna see no more Burner boy? You'll have to ask him. You're here he's not. Uh oh. Burner's not nominated now. He's not nominated but you look at these sheets he's not on air Chloe's on air but I'm speaking of support and you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, It was so many lights, so many cameras. I know. So many cameras. You know we be all like everything with you when you're... What are you trying to ask Lauren? I'm getting it. Last time you were here was gonna... I mean now it's Burnaby.

We want to know is that your boo? Is this the thing? Y'all together? Do y'all go together real bad? Y'all just having fun? What is it? Well, I'm a grown woman. So, you know, I had a great time in Nigeria.

I really did. So I guess I'm not gonna get an answer on if you cared about the when you left, there was the video people were like, Oh my God, the Chloe time is over. Now he's out with this random other girl. I didn't see that. Burn a boy. Burn a boy. Yeah, he was out with a random other girl.

Because I didn't even see that. It's because we all were so heavily together. We like, oh shoot we don't see her do this much Yeah, and then yeah, so he's a grown man. It's like I'm a grown woman You know, I could imagine dating at 20 something and being put on the air by being so fat being super famous Expecting the minute that they see her on that carpet, they're gonna be looking. Like, cause anybody, anybody that she's with is always a thing. Anybody she's with.

Like she- She could've been going to Bible study. I mean, you know. Oh, good girl. Blessings and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You and the boy are Bible study. That's true.

You know my girl. You had told me you was in there studying the Bible. I would've been like, you know what? God is good. Okay? All the time. You know you my girl. You can study anytime, even in there studying the Bible. I would have been like, you know what? God is good. Okay? You know you my girl. You can study anytime, even in the club. I'm stuck. I'm stuck.

I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck.

I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck.

I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm but it's my life. I mean, it's what I sign up for. So I can only expect it is just about how I handle it. I handle myself. So I don't think it should ever be pissiness towards the people who ask me. And I think as a woman watching you navigate it, you're not going to be able to do it. You're not going to be able to do it.

You're not going to be able to do it. So I don't think it should ever be pissiness towards the people who ask me. And I think as a woman watching you navigate it, I'm always interested in how you deal with that because for instance, you're here about the NAACP Image Awards, but it's like we want to know that so we have to ask. And being a person who's now learning how to be in the light of everything, I'm like how do you deal with that? Plus her love life is very slow, Chloe. Like very slow. I don't believe that. I don like, how do you deal with that? Plus her love life is very slow, Chloe. Like, very slow.

I don't believe that. No, very slow. I don't believe that. She is there like you. I know you got a roster. I don't believe it. No, she don't. Roster?

No, she don't. She really don't. I don't even know how to spell roster. You like, boom. Her phone is dry. Dry as heck. One thing I learned about getting on the radio. Well, guess what?

Because you're intimidated. It's very dry. I am just, I am a wife. All I do is stay home. I just want to cook. But you a wife. But you got a husband. She got a husband. I mean, I am a wife all I do is say home. I just want to cook I'm domesticated this radio has made me be quiet. Okay, you get on here. I'm ready for that I know it's preparing you for that. No, it's not person. I appreciate it now back to the end of Lacey Now how would these nominees chosen? How do you guys choose the nominees and how do you guys go to who's winning? And how do

y'all expand the categories every year? Because you know things change right? You got social media personality in now, podcasts, like how do you expand the category? So start with the last question. We recognize that the industry is changing so we try to keep up. We add categories, digital content categories, fashion design. There's a panel of close to 500 people, half industry, half non-industry that's been selected across the country. And those are the individuals that review the materials and they nominate. Oftentimes, I don't even know what's been nominated until I finally get it. And then once nominated, some of the categories are voted on by

The public and so is by popular vote in some areas and then in other areas is by those who are critics in in the space To ensure fairness in the outcome. So there is a a mix that we try to balance those two two things out Yeah, I want to ask about comedy as well You see Netflix is heavy in the comedy You see a lot of they're giving comedy deals to damn to every comedian Has BET ever wanted to jump back into that space because BET was one of the huge originators, especially black comedy That's right with comic few did Dion Cole put you up to this question because he's been beating me up about this So the reality is we're always looking for the way back into places right and? And we did a quick partnership with Kevin Hart and Heartbeat

where we did a test run of bringing back Comic View. And part of the thing is that really understanding how our community wants to consume content, right? And also understanding some people will use certain content as a loss leader for other things. And I'm not saying who would use certain content as a loss leader for other things. And I'm not saying who would be using it as a loss leader, but there are other platforms that are paying using content as a loss leader for other things. So we're working with Dion right now to do. Hey, it's Nikki Glaser. I'm not here to roast you. I'm here to overshare everything that went down at

the Golden Globes last Sunday. Everyone is already talking about what happened on air at the Golden Globes, but you are going to hear about what happened on air at the Golden Globes, but you are going to hear about what happened off air from the horse's mouth.

I can finally relax with my besties, my listeners, and dish what happened backstage.

From what it took to prep for the Golden Globes to the behind the scenes of the Golden Globes, what went down in the rehearsals, who said what at the after party, who I saw at the after party, who was dancing with who. I'm going to spill it all. Secrets will be revealed. You do not want to miss this episode. Listen to the Nikki Glaser podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Inside you, two worlds are locked in battle. One thrives on fear and anger and doubt. The other? Courage, wisdom, and love. Every decision, every moment feeds one of them. Which wolf are you feeding? I'm Eric Zimmer, host of The One You Feed. I've been there, homeless, addicted, and lost. I know the power of small choices to turn your life around.

On this podcast, I sit down with thinkers, leaders, and survivors to uncover what it takes to feed the good wolf. This podcast saved me. It's like having a guide for the hardest parts of life. The wolves are hungry. What will you feed them? Listen to the one you feed on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, I'm Ed Zitron, host of the Better Offline podcast. And this January, we're going on the road to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada to cover the Consumer Electronics Show, tech's biggest conference. Better Offline's CES coverage won't be the usual rundown of the hottest gadgets or the biggest trends, but an unvarnished look at what the tech industry plans to sell or do to you in 2025, interrogating their narratives alongside a remarkable cast of industry talent and award-winning journalists. We'll have daily episodes, on-the-ground interviews, and special panels covering everything from the BS of AI to the

ways in which race and gender play into how people are treated in the tech industry and at these conferences. I'll be joined by David Roth of Defecta and the writer Edward Ongweiso Jr. with appearances from Behind the Bastards Robert Evans, It Could Happen Here's Gare Davis, and a few surprise guests throughout the show. Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. And check out betteroffline.com. Hey y'all. I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, host of therapy for black girls. And I'm thrilled to invite you to our January jumpstart series

for the third year running. All January, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who will help you kickstart your personal growth with actionable ideas and real conversations. We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow. I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. When you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm

what you love about the hair you were told not to love. So when I think about beauty, it's so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives of who we were, how we want to see ourselves, and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present, and future, all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It can be something that you love. All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls starting on January 1st on the iHeartRadio

app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Jason Alexander. And I'm Peter Tilden. And together on the Really No Lily podcast, our mission is to get the true answers to life's baffling questions like... Why they refuse to make the bathroom door go all the way to the floor. We got the answer. Will space junk block your cell signal?

The astronaut who almost drowned during a spacewalk gives us the answer. We talk with the scientist who figured out if your dog truly loves you and the one bringing back the wooly mammoth. Plus, does Tom Cruise really do his own stunts? His stunt man reveals the answer. And you never know who's going to drop by. Mr. Brian Cranston is with us today. How are you?

My friend Wayne Knight about Jurassic Park Wayne Knight welcome to really really sir bless you all Hello, Newman, and you never know when Howie Mandel might just stop by to talk about judging really that's the opening really no really No, really go to really no really calm and register to win $500 a guest spot on our podcast or a limited edition sign Jason bobblehead. It's called really no really. And you can find it on the iHeartRadio app on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Do a really fun thing in standup comedy. He'll be thrilled that you put me on the spot and ask the question. But we think comedy clearly works right. We see it working with the Miss Pat show. The series we have with Dion Average Joe is a thriller that has a comedic line through it. We really see that our audience loves comedy. Miss Pat, in addition to her Miss Pat Show,

we do Miss Pat Settles It, which is her doing a crazy court show. And so our audience is loving it. We think in 2025, given the way the world has changed, people need to laugh even more. And so there'll be an even greater demand for comedy So we're leaning into it in a big way Have there been conversations Derek about changing the name of the NAACP since some people think colored people is a slur? No

We should run and say we got all the colors are on the same. Yeah. No, we have not I mean We get caught up in semantics. We lose focus and there's no need to go to the semantics. We are an organization that's been around 116 years. That's significant. When you talk about this concept of a surplus mindset, that what we can do, we can stick together, we can work together, we can prosper together. Oftentimes we say, well, black folks won't do

what we can't do, we haven't done. We gotta get away from that and not get caught up in semantics. At the end of the day, are we being effective with our mission? Making democracy work for all and ensuring opportunity for our community. That's our focus, the semantics go out the door. Yeah, I asked that because I think it was last year, it was one of the presidents, I forgot what chapter, the NAACP, they were upset because somebody used the word colored people somewhere. I have no idea. I don't see if you wonder, every time I run across him he asks the question

because he's been saying, y'all need to change the name. He's been saying that since like 1982. What does he see about the name that um. Shut up. Shut up. What? I'm just asking a question. Lack of subtlety. At the end of the day, the Image Awards is the crown jewel of shows for African-American.

It gives us an opportunity for all of us to come together and appreciate the culture we bring to this table. Save him, save him. And we do that intergenerational across all of the platforms. That's right. And you can, the voting is now open to the public at NAACPImageAwards.net. That's right. We appreciate you guys for joining us this morning.

Yes, and stop dragging Chloe around for no reason. She's busy, she's got things she can be doing. She wants to be here. I want to be here for her people. Oh, okay, okay. Yes! Okay, that's right. Ladies and gentlemen.

Yes! Do you want hosts? Yes, I would love to host. If you were not as the host, I think it would make so much sense because you're out here outside. We don't know what y'all planned. Y'all putting pressure on her.

They might have another host. You just effing. And she says she want a host too? Wow. Or if I don't host, I could sing a little song. Listen, we've been rolling. When we announce the host, everybody gonna say, oh, that is a great choice, good decision. The host gonna come on with Sky and they're gonna talk about why that person is the host.

Y'all gonna say this is the best thing that could have happened. Absolutely. Collaboration be dope. decision the host gonna come on with Chloe Bailey, Derek Johnson, Scott Mills. We appreciate you for joining us. Check out the NAACP, the 56 NAACP Image Awards, February 22nd at 8 p.m. And it's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Yes! Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning! Yes, thank you to NAACP President Derek Johnson

and the President and CEO of BET, Scott Mills, and my cousin Chloe Bailey for pulling up. That's right. Make sure you watch the NAACP awards on February 22nd. Is Leon Thomas a nominator for any NAACP image awards? That's a good question. He should be. Yeah.

That's a bad boy, that. Yeah, he's gonna be passing through one day this week too. We're gonna be chopping over him. Do we play Leon Thomas? No. We don't? Well, kind of. What do you mean kind of?

We play snooze every morning and he's a writer on snooze. Man, shut up man. Leon, he's by far the best male R&B singer out today. Yeah, he gets, he absolutely positively gets busy. How are we not playing him on the radio? I don't know. I love something from his album, the new album uh... Mutt. Mutt, there you go. I started to say musty, I don't know why. I can't wait till summertime when people stink and I go That's all you want to do huh? Yes, but shout to Leon Leon now, you know, he's started on Broadway You know his history and all that right childhood star and all that

No, not really. Well, she come by what I find out. All right. Well, let's get to Jess with the mess Alright, so you got some more alleged beef with Drake. Alright so Chris Griffith, he's a designer and he designs stuff for like sports, boxers and all that type of stuff. He posted some DMs between him and Drake and he alleged that these DMs are real. When he posted about it, everybody picked it up, all the blogs and everything. Academics said he spoke to Drake and he said Drake is saying that the DMs aren't real. And when he posted these, he said that he never intended for this to go public or anything like that, but Drake apparently switched sides, so he wanted to put it out there.

Now, he had sent, I'm going to read the DMs, he had sent Drake a picture of some gloves or whatever, right? And he said damn gang you wanna follow me now what he does is like he put the the OVO Stamp on the gloves or whatever right and he basically was just like expressing the drink like you I was down for you You know from college days playing views on repeat with the volume high and all that from standing outside Just shows in a cold with my baby brother whose OVOill fell through the cracks after coming to Toronto or whatever. He basically said he put the OVO patches on Javontae Davis gloves and all of that for free.

On the shorts, yeah. On the shorts, yeah. On the shorts, on the shorts, yeah, for free or whatever. And then Drake commented back, I mean, wrote back and said, you asking me to post a tape about you ratting on people G, I just really don't come from a city or a friend group where that is acceptable. I live by a code that become law, that's become law.

We all just gotta deal with our own ass and I don't really, you know, I don't condone into this. I ain't got nothing to do with this basically. And so what he's talking about is what Chris responded with he said a nigga trapped me on some gay-ish while I was designing his collection he's talking about Stefan Diggs who he names in this he said I didn't go I didn't go for it and that's not Rat and Champ I survived the hit and I had money on my head so I spoke up so basically he's saying Stefan Diggs came on to him or whatever but he didn't oblige

in it and so he had got attacked, he had got beat up in 2023. The attack was caught on camera in the LA apartment building and Stefan he alleged that Stefan Diggs little brother actually was the one who started the fight. He you know got beat up by y'all. You know about Stefan the football player? Stefan Diggs. Wow. Yep. Allegedly.

This is all allegedly. Allegedly, yes. Drake. So he says, that's like me telling you that you're ready for pulling. This is Chris saying this to Drake. He said, that's like me telling you that you're ready for pulling Universal's card because they played with you in front of the entire world, much like my situation, you survived with your head held high and you spoke the f up. So Drake responds like look y'all, I mean I don't know details fam, I'm just showing

you outside of perception, I think there's better ways to go about it, my opinion, me and Universal is like, pay attention to this, me and Universal is like if Nike was funding a campaign about LeBron cheating on his wife, not Adidas or Reebok, Nike the company he been with since he started, my situation is not no street-ish. And that goes back to yesterday when we reported about this freestyle that he got. He said he was going to drop receipts or whatever. So people were speculating that he was going straight for LeBron's family. And these DMs would confirm that.

Everything that he was trying to allege in his freestyle would be true. I know Stephon Tide having his name in people's mouths though. Didn't they say he was sleeping with Cardi too? Yeah, Cardi, a host of people. He actually put on his Instagram, he said I'm stop going tit for tat. He said beware by yourself, I don't give a f, keep my name out your mouth pretty much. Oh okay. You too. So Chris was like yo yeah I get your point of view, I feel you to a degree. Crazy it might be or whatever but he just wanted him

to like help him out. He like yo how you think it feels to see myself getting beat up on this video? Or whatever, by some people I know did it and I know the reason behind it. Or whatever, right? So, Drake... The last thing that Drake said was, I'll think this one out and write my response somewhere else than...other than IG. I'm on a plane right now and um so Drake later posted a picture of him in the studio and the caption is 3 money bags and it said I thought this through so again like he said he's yeah he said he thought it through but that's what he also said in the DM so they trying to put that together with that and it just looked like he just trying not to admit that the DMs and it just look like he just try not

to admit that the DMs are real I mean it could be who knows allegedly they are but we don't know. Yeah Drake got to get to a point where he has to he can't go back and forth with people he's the bad guy so everybody wants to take this time to post a DM post a text message post a phone conversation he has to. But doesn't it all seem calculated though? Like, you know, you put out this one message and it says something about LeBron, that goes viral.

Then you reach out to act, tell, act to say it's not real. But then you post a picture from the studio saying, I thought this went through. After saying in a freestyle, you know, don't make me ruin your public image. Everybody said that was about LeBron. Come on, guys. Don't let the, you know, don't make me ruin your public image. Everybody said that was about Brown. Come on, guys. Don't let the...

Come on. Come on. Well, I pray to God. He could be the petty king. I pray to God he doesn't go that far. I don't want you praying to your life-skin God. No, I'm just saying because if you got a problem with somebody, take it to that person, right? And I hate when people do this where if you got to punch me in my face, stab me, but when

you start bringing my family involved... Here you go, Jax. I don't want that. Punch me in my eye. You, but when you start bringing my family involved, I don't want that Punch me in my eye, but no, I'm not saying I'm not saying no, but I rather that's what you would do, right? You know, I'm just saying I would rather take a punch in the face to somebody mess with my family Okay, right cuz cuz Braun gotta go home and deal with that from Savannah He he gonna he gonna be scoring two points a game one rebound That's why they don't bring my family into it. That's why I say it's all calculated

and I don't know why we playing this game. He says this in the record, I wanna ruin your public image. And he says the thing in the DM about, I'm not even gonna repeat what was said. Then he turns around and says it was fake to academics. Then he turns around and says, I thought this went through. Stop letting these bi-racial Canadians play with y'all, man.

Okay, cut it out. It's all Drake-ish so it is what it is. Alright. Just with the mess. Thank you Jess. Charlamagne who you giving that down to? Man four after the hour we need a human job Hellman's mayonnaise named Erin Elizabeth to come to the front of the congregation we like to have a word with her speaking of getting punched in the face this part she needs to get punched in the face. Alright. We'll discuss. We'll get to it next it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. I just wanted to know how you came up with the donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha That damn Taylor. Drop one of Clu's bombs for Taylor Bated, man. If one thing Taylor gonna do, she gonna earn her money that she don't get. Okay? She work hard for money that she don't get. God damn it. Salute to Taylor. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, January 8th, goes to a 26-year-old human jar of Hellman's mayonnaise named Aaron Elizabeth. Aaron is a registered nurse who shouldn't be a registered nurse anymore.

And she was arrested because she's never gotten her ass beat in life. What do you mean uncle Sharla she's never gotten her ass beat in life? I mean exactly what I said. See I was born in 1978 okay and when you're 46 years old like I am then you can tell when a person has never been punched in the face. Okay not just punched in the face never had to go pick their own switch. Alright my dad beat me with an extension cord one time and made me go take a bath Why because I was taking a lighter to the carpet and our single wide trailer and most corner stop, Carolina You can read about it in detail and my first book the New York Times bestseller black privilege opportunity opportunity comes to those who created

But what we are talking about here is consequences to one's actions Okay, Erin is doing BS because she's never been checked for her BS. Matter of fact, I can't even call this just BS. This is pure evil. This woman, Erin Elizabeth, not only needs her ass beat, she needs an exorcism. What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? She needs an exorcism. Can you tell us why she's getting donkey today already? Yes, but just know if you're a parent, it's going to trigger you. Let's go to the report, please. Henrico County's top prosecutor letting reporters know her office will continue to work very

aggressively into the investigation into Henrico Doctors' Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. In less than two weeks, one woman has been charged and arrested. 26 year old Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman of Chesterfield County who was denied bond by a judge Friday afternoon. While there has been an arrest for one person for allegedly inflicting injury on a single victim I would emphasize this is an ongoing investigation spanning potential offenses committed in both 2023 and 2024. The ongoing investigation centered around seven babies in total.

The hospital alerting the community online that four babies had quote, unexplainable fractures in 2024, is similar to an incident in 2023. The Stratton now facing charges for one child out of the seven. That news report came from ABC News by the way, this chick was arrested after the hospital had to close

the NICU due to mystery attacks on newborns. She was breaking the bones of newborn babies. Look man, and my second book shook on anxiety playing tricks on me. I speak to the anxiety you feel as a parent every minute of the day. I call it parental paranoia. When our kids are out in the world at school or whenever they are in the care of another

adult we want that adult to treat our kids like their own. That's why I respect all jobs where people have to watch over other folks kids because it takes a special kind of person to show someone else's child love, care and affection. This evil, sadistic, wicked, ungodly, unholy woman who looks like a twitter egg with a salmonella outbreak is not one of those people. Folks who take advantage of the elderly and children, especially newborns, there has to be something worse than hell for folks like you. I don't know what that place is because I'm not God, but I do know we can create hell

on earth for people like that and it starts with her getting punched in the face. Okay that should be part of her punishment. She's been charged with malicious wounding and child abuse. I think those charges should be upgraded to attempted murder because when you break in the bones of babies, newborns, you could potentially kill an infant. But I think she should have to also square up with these kids parents. The daddy mama f all that ain't no grace ain't no mercy daddy hola while mama gets off on her ass okay I'm not trying to understand why Erin Elizabeth did what she did she got mental health issues so what so do I okay but this is

so diabolical so deliberate done with such intention that I don't want to hear anything about Erin Elizabeth's mental health issues I don't want to see her pleading insanity playing crazy This woman knows exactly what she was doing and even if she is crazy what she clearly is even if she is mentally ill Guess what Batman still beat the hell out of every villain in Gotham before he got sent to Arkham Asylum So please give this woman Erin Elizabeth an ass-kicking and let Chelsea Handler give her the biggest he-ha That is way too much Dan Maneise. Sometimes you gotta get medieval on people bro. Medieval?

That's what I say. Okay. I know what you heard, you heard Medea because you a nigger, but I say medieval. Okay, all right, and sometimes that's what you just gotta do, you gotta get medieval on people. Okay. That's it. All right, well thank you for that donkey today.

Now let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one Now this is coming from the movie Mufasa. Have you guys seen the movie yet? No, not yet. I was out of the country I want to see Mufasa and I want to see the Clarissa Shields the fire inside move Jess. You didn't see Mufasa yet No, okay. So let me let me let me let's open up the phone line. So in the movie Mufasa if you haven't seen it Let's open up the phone line. So in the movie Mufasa if you haven't seen it The reason that scar and Mufasa have beef is explained and of course, it's over a check now I'm telling the moon. I'm just gonna tell just a little bit 800 just told the goddamn movie I don't know. No, I did not tell a whole plot of movie 800 585 105 when the question is if your friend is interested in someone and talks to you about how to kick

it to this person, but that person is interested in you instead, what do you do? 800-585-1051. Now Jess, this has happened to you before? Your friend was interested in a dude, but the dude didn't like her, liked you instead? Yeah, well we both liked him, but she just jumped out there and wanted to talk to him and then he jumped out there and told her, nah, cause he's been looking at me. And so I started talking to him. That's it. Why would Mufasa and Scar be beefing over this?

I was ready to say, so they changed up the whole premise of the movie, it's about a bitch? It's not, I don't know why he said it's his about the whole premise, I didn't say that, but That's exactly what you said! That does happen in the movie, but it's, I don't want why he said it's about the whole problem. I didn't say that but Happen in the movie, but it's it's I don't want to give the whole details, but I mean I can't understand I don't want to explain the whole thing like I explained I'm already retarded right now come on now explains you can't say that word. Yes, I can know you can't bring it back You cannot say that work Identifies what I am okay, it was great since then then you can say it all you want yes say it again

No, I'm talking to you little red retort, but listen explain you just explained the whole concept of the movie So eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one, right that the question is If you are interested in someone but the person you are interested in is interested in your friend instead What do you do? Tell me about more fostering scar because I don't understand why this would be the premise of the movie Like what they would be for noble woman woman to want me to break it down now? You want me to explain it right fast? Yes. Okay so I'm explaining it right fast. Everything. This is crazy. So his name wasn't Scar at first. He had another name right? And he was interested

in this young tiger. Mufasa was a young lion. This guy here. Turned the lion king to the tiger. So Mufasa, Mufasa was hisor-die and basically he told Mufasa. I like this chick, but I'm not really I don't know how to talk to chicks Can you help me out and he Mufasa was telling him things to say to make the chick like him? But he was saying it but the chicks still didn't like him and the chick wound up liking Mufasa Okay, so Mufasa so scar was like yo, bro Like I told you I liked her first and he was like well That's not my thing and Scar turned on Mufasa and then you can you can imagine the rest

We know lions have no concept of incest or any sexual standards Sometimes the male actually comes back to the pride they're born in and then challenges the male and claims the female of the mate and sometimes That female could be their mother or sister. So what's the problem? They could have been sleeping with the whole family Nobody would have been tripping. This is so crazy. I mean at least they ain't gay I mean, maybe try and put that in anything. So alright, I take it I didn't know it was such a backstory about that's so crazy We ain't seen the movie yet, Jess. We don't know if they get it or not. Scar might have got his car Cause he was fighting fighting for his bunkie In lion jail

It would have been everywhere, it would have been talking about it He was fighting fighting for his bunkie 50 cross the face fighting for his bunkie in lion prison Oh my goodness, but 800 585 105 1 if your friend is interested in someone but the person is interested in you instead What do you do has it happened to you? Let's discuss I find the person his Jesus Christ, it's a breakfast local morning breakfast club Jesus Christ, it's the Breakfast Club of the morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guide. We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us 800-585-1051 this conversation is inspired by Mufasa the movie that's out right now now in the movie Mufasa

When you watch it you realize Mufasa and Scar really started beefing over a young lion, right? Scar liked the lion He went to Mufasa for advice to how to talk to the lion and Mufasa told him but the young lion didn't like scar like Mufasa and that's where the beef started so the question is 800-585-1051 if your friend is interested in someone really like somebody but the person is interested in you what do you do so Jess said this situation has happened before your friend like somebody but dude like you that's the thing we both liked him

but she well I just thought he was cute like she like liked him you know I mean so she jumped out there and wanted to say something to him you know he was like damn you know I like her and I was like okay she came back she told me I didn't think it was a problem cuz she ain't say it was a problem the way she presented it like oh girl like he he like you like, you know So I was like, that's what's up. I'm a sox on was it ever a problem. No Um, she she just stopped talking to me. So Cap it on it now. So now Solomon you've been married for a long time But before that if your friend liked somebody

and the person liked you, what would you do? That has never been ever, ever a thing. I don't know. I don't know. Let me put myself back into the space when I was out here wiling, being a complete mutt, like Leon Thomas said. Hold on.

Give me a minute. Oh my god. Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof. OK, listen. Is that a dog barking? I think it depends on how good the woman looks okay if she's supposed to depend on how good you look too who picked somebody else? Who picked you over somebody else? Don't act like I'm not handsome. Come on I'm handsome. Now yes you are. I'm handsome and I'm charming alright okay but I think it

depends on how good the woman looks if she's fine and my guy wants to get with her, but she wants to get with me, then why should I miss my blessing? And if my friend is really my friend, then he should want me to receive my blessing, because what God has for me is for me, okay? So if he gonna hate on you because this woman wants to get with you and not him,

I shouldn't be friends with this person to begin with. And you know another thing that I can't stand guys do? What? I hate when guys be like, I'ma hit that. How you know? Why are you making the decision for the woman? How do you know? How do you know that woman is gonna give you

any play whatsoever? Just because you called, and it sound crazy to say, just because you called dibs on a woman, don't mean she wanna be with you. Am I lying, Jess? That is called dibs on a woman don't mean she want to be with you in my line Just that that is the truth But but most people don't look at it like that They say if they call dibs that's their first like even I'm talking out to OVO Eli, right? OVO Eli asked him if that's happened to him and he said yeah, it happens all the time

But he said really whoever calls first and goes forward first. They let him live Yeah, but what about if you strike out if you strike out next man up the back We we and by the way, we on the same team, right? So if I hit it's a win for us all I tell you about Never been to smell your finger time, but I tell you about Well, let's go through the phone lines. We got Shelly on the line. Shelly. Good morning.

And this January, we're going on the road to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada to cover the Consumer Electronics Show, Tech's biggest conference. Better Offline's CES coverage won't be the usual rundown of the hottest gadgets or the biggest trends, but an unvarnished look at what the tech industry plans to sell or do to you in 2025, interrogating their narratives alongside a remarkable cast of industry talent and award-winning journalists. We'll have daily episodes, on-the-ground interviews, and special panels covering everything from the BS of AI to the ways in which race and gender play into how people are treated in the tech industry

and at these conferences. I'll be joined by David Roth of Defecta and the writer Edward Ongweiso Jr. with appearances from Behind the Bastards Robert Evans, It Could Happen Here's Gare Davis and a few surprise guests throughout the show. Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever else you get your podcasts from. And check out betteroffline.com. Hey y'all, I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, host of Therapy for Black Girls. And I'm thrilled to invite you to our January Jumpstart series for the third year running.

All January, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who will help you kickstart your personal growth with actionable ideas and real conversations. We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow. I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. You know, when you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm what you love about the hair you were told not to love. So when I think about beauty, it's so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives

of who we were, how we wanna see ourselves, and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present, and future, all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It can be something that you love. All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready. Listen to Therapy for Black

So it really didn't bother me, but yeah, definitely, it's hard. I'm like, that person don't want to. Oh, so you've been Mufasa in this situation. You've been the woman that, you know, somebody else,

so your friend wanted somebody, but that person wanted you. Yeah, and- And you did it twice to your friend. What the fuck does that mean? Damn. What does the fuck the person, you know, these guys out here that you, they, Yeah, and you did it twice to your friend You know these guys Don't really care they're not just thinking you saw something like you know if I kind of down though eventually go to my friend So did you sleep did you sleep with both of the guys wanted in my day? Oh, okay? Okay, okay, all right

Yeah But I gotta hurt your friend cuz your friend got to feel like maybe she doesn't look as attractive or she doesn't look as... Is she pretty? That's why I don't trust them because no and it's not that there's not you know everybody has a preference so um... Would you sleep with your friends? Are you trying not to say your friend ugly? No I'm not your girlfriend, other than me. No, I'm not! You know, some guys like that, you know women, some dudes like white girls, some men like, you know, chocolate, dark-skinned females, so everybody has a preference. How much does she weigh? Jesus. See, didn't want you! Oh, now we're getting somewhere!

Now we're getting somewhere! Play Wobble, Wobble baby, Wobble baby, Wobble baby. Wobble baby. Wobble baby. I told you that once, one friend is small. So that doesn't really count. That's why I said it's a preference. The other friend was at risk of a heart attack. Jesus Christ. No, I'm not saying that. Goodbye Shelly. You all are messy.

We messy? You messy. All you have to do is say no my friend ain't fat. But you can't say that Daniel. No my friend is not fat. Goodbye. Goodbye Shelly. I can't say that. I can't lie on this radio. Ron, good morning Ron.

Good morning, good morning. Now Ron you broke cold man, your man tried to holla at a woman and you started talking to her? Yeah, who was in college. So he would tell her, oh I'll talk to him for you, let's go out to eat and I'll make him pull up. But he never told me, so he was doing blind dates with her not letting me know. So one day she ran into me at school She's like, yo, how come every time you invite me out, you're not showing up. But jay's showing up I was like, what are you talking about? Because she told me the whole play man. We had a getting married We celebrated 25 years and a first last month. Wow, but you don't speak to him anymore, huh?

Yeah, but it goes back to what I said about why should you allow me to miss my blessing? Like what God has for me is for me. Like if, that's why I understand when guys be like, oh, I'm gonna call dibs on her. Now don't get me wrong, you know, the first time I saw my wife, I knew that was going to be my wife, right? But clearly that was meant to happen. But that's not always the case. Just because you say you want to get with a girl, don't mean that girl want to get with

you. 800-585-1051. This is inspired by the movie Mufasa right? If your friend is interested in someone but the person they interested in likes you instead what do you do? Let's discuss this the Breakfast Club good morning. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody is DJ Envy Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Now if you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines 800-585-1051.

This is inspired by the movie Mufasa. If you haven't seen it, you gotta see it. I took the kids to see it the other day, and it tells the story of Mufasa and Scar and how they don't eff with each other, right? Now, if your friend is interested in someone, so Scar was interested in someone, but the person that Scar was interested in

didn't like Scar, liked Mufasa instead, and that started to beef. So we're asking 800-585-1051, in real life, what do you do? Hello, good morning. Hello, my name's Nick. Hey Nick, what's up brother Nick? So I'm asking the question again,

so if your man was interested in somebody, but the person was interested in you, what are you doing? I'm gonna tell my man like yo a girl You know, it's really gonna be mad like I'm gonna ask like if this really gonna affect our friendship Like if he really in love with this girl, I'm gonna probably fall back at the end of the day I'm going for the Bay Area out. I'm gonna do choice. I'm the end of the day, I go up in the Bay Area, I go up in the two-chore, so I'm gonna be like, hey, she's choosing, man. Like, you know, I'm gonna get over her. I'm gonna make sure she got a friend of some form,

or, you know, and then I'm gonna see how much I like her. If I really like her, after we do what we do, I'm gonna keep her around, but if it's just whatever, I'll probably just smash some pads, you know what I'm saying? But as for the movie, because I saw the movie with my kids, and I felt like in that movie Well, I just kind of like what's bad. I want to give away the movie

But like if somebody's saying my life my brother and I wouldn't even be here. It's waiting for you And there's a million lines. I thought could you know But no the reason I disagree with that is because of what you said, my brother. You just quoted the grade two short, and the woman is the person who gets to choose. I don't know why y'all men think y'all got the option here. When you say to yourself, hey, I wanna holla at that girl,

it's that woman's decision on whether or not she gonna give you something, brother. Yeah, but Mufasa shoulda told him, like, look, bro. But you know what's so funny? She's saying in the movie, I'm choosing you. She said, Mufasa tell her told him like look bro. But you know what's so funny? She's saying in the movie, I'm choosing you. She said she, Mufasa tell her, hey my bro is Ike. And she said I'm choosing you. She definitely said I'm choosing you.

So Scar's a sucker. Mufasa should have told Scar though. Mufasa should have told Scar. Scar was a coward, he was a whore. But he, that was still his brother though so I don't know. Yeah Scar was a sucker though. So you're telling me that Scar killed Mufasa over a woman, basically?

He did, but look at this. Look at Nino Brown, and he's on the CNP. There you go. Look at these real rap groups and these R&B groups back all of this, back in the day. People, it's always been because of the women. Almost every rap group everything start off That was her fault though that was that was shorty for and in New Jack City that was her she was a ho I mean

Whatever, but he was in love Because Because move on to the star would have never had a beef if God wasn't so sensitive. It was so much other things happen in that movie that stars couldn't be like damn, God like, but it was all over Simba's mama. So what I'm getting is this is a movie for adults. I shouldn't even take my son to see this. I should just go see this. Nah, it's good though. I ain't go front.

They be singing a lot though and the songs be kind of funny though like bye bye you're gonna die bye bye. First of all Ashton grown as hell. Okay, yeah, okay. We're going to see this. This don't sound like no kid. This don't sound like the same Lion King I grew up on. It's different. I enjoyed it though. I ain't even go front. What's the moral of the story if there is a moral? I mean the moral of the story is man, women make the choice. So I'm glad that they even said that in the movie

because I don't know where the delusion comes from with guys where guys can just look at a girl and say, I'ma hit that, I'ma get that, I'ma eff that. No, it's up to the woman whether or not she wants to eff you or if she's going to allow you to hit that. So when your woman chooses, let the woman choose. I'm not about to fall out with my guy because you know she think my man look better than me or she want to get with my man for whatever reason.

That's extremely lame to me. Alright well I'm sorry if you haven't gone to see the movie if I spoiled it for you I apologize go see it. I mean it's made a lot of money already. Yeah so it is but we got Jess with the mess coming up what we talking about All right now we're gonna get into Dwight and Shaq and all that comes with that Alright, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I just got a new toy in the mail Okay, what's wrong with you man? I got a new toy in the mail and this toy is amazing. Okay, it is um I

Can't say it on the radio can I? Alright, you can say penis light. It's a Dick Tracy laser. Okay he can say that. It's a D laser and you see what does it say one laser plus five D's. You remember the light that they shine remember you told that story just about Jamie Foxx? Yo take that off my face man. What's wrong with you? Putting the penis laser on him? I got one. He's been walking around all morning long with this penis laser shining on people's faces not people just men, okay Let's get the just with the best She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.

It's time to set it all. Alright, so Dwight Howard recently appeared on Ray Daniels' show and they got on the topic about his long time beef with Shaq, that's what he said. Never disrespecting him, but he's always had something to say and you know there's times where I got enough said and I'm like yo, Shaq just gotta stop. Oh so you actually talked to him about it? Literally during Dancing with the Stars somebody said that they're really close with Shaq and

I said hey man, do you mind sending Shaq a message to try to figure out like yo what's up? Can we have a sit down conversation because every conversation or every time I hear or see something about you is you disrespecting me on some type of level and at this point I'm like do we need to throw heads? Like what are we doing because I have not ever like for me the only thing I would do with Shaq is mimic his voice. Do like that. Okay so that wasn't the audio I was looking for but that was good that we played that because we needed that too but Shaq responded once he saw the response once he saw what Howard said on Redaniel's show and he said the fact that you think I care about you

It's funny, but I won't ever bring up your name ever again sensitive big man You're a jokester that can't take a joke won't ever say your name ever again Have a great day and now you have been deleted. Have a great day again I don't know many times he was gonna tell him have a great day, but he really wanted him to have a great day He also put hella hashtags hashtag. I never care, hashtag trust me, hashtag don't need validation you do, hashtag stay off podcast, yo shag is so petty, hashtag the fact that you think I care is funny, hashtag you gotta show respect to get respect, now you're dead to me. It's pretty big for that but the white said I know you care cuz your

big insecure ass been hating talking ish for 20 years, you too big to be insecure whatever whatever he told he said um you always been jealous of me you've been jealous of Kobe, Penny, Andy Weed you also jealous of Charles too. So Shack said still don't care nice move I see what you're doing your legacy is your new podcast that's how you will be remembered and you need views damn I taught you well great job hall of fame podcaster but still don't care you need be remembered and you need views damn. I taught you well great job hall of fame Podcaster, but still don't care you need to sit down you need my validation I don't need yours basically repeating what he was saying And he said he also said he was too big to squabble or whatever so he declined because he's too old the white

responded and said By the way, I don't want people to get entertained by two black men going back and forth Come on to the podcast and let's hash this out now the beef between them And by the way, I don't want people to get entertained by two black men going back and forth. Come on to the podcast and let's hash this out. Now the beef between them, they've been beefing since Shaq was still in the NBA and it started because Dwight Howard had started calling himself Superman, but Shaq used that name first for himself. So ever since Dwight took the name, Shaq been on his body real heavy, calling him out about everything.

Why y'all think Clark Kent feels guys? I mean the original Superman, you know? Yeah, well they mad at each other about it. And Dwight, like he said, like you heard in the audio before, he actually tried to squash the beat when he was on Dancing With The Stars. He tried to get somebody to know Shaq like the squad shit, but it never happened like that so we just waiting to see. It's interesting that Dwight called Shaq insecure because Shaq like the squad shit, but it never happened like that. So we just waiting to see It's interesting that the white called Shaq insecure because Shaq has never struck me as the insecure type and he's never struck me as the

Hating type. In fact, if you listen to Shaq over the years He's always talked about how it's his job to help, you know, other people be better whether he wanted to go help Kobe be the best or he wanted to help Penny Hardaway be the best or he wanted Dwayne Wade to be the best He wanted to go to Cleveland help LeBron win a a championship. He's always seemed very selfless to me. I don't know him personally, never met him, but that's just how it seems. But he will always criticize, he will always do his job. If he's watching a game and he feels like a player's not giving his all from a basketball standpoint, he will criticize the player. He feels like this player's not doing this. He feels like this player's soft. He feels like this player's weak. So Shaq ain't gonna hold his tongue when

it comes to sports though. But I thought they said they were gonna fight too. Didn't they say they were gonna throw hands at him? No Dwight said he wanted to throw hands. He said let's throw hands. Shaq said I'm too old for that. But Shaq was like I'm too old for that. I'm 50. You know you're trying to squabble at 50. You mean best thing you should do is just stay on your podcast. That would be an interesting matchup though because we've never seen Dwight in action that I can remember but Shaq Fu is always down for his crap like Shaq has always been willing to fight but I've also seen Shaq throw a lot of punches and missed he threw at Brad Miller and missed he threw at Charles Barkley and missed and the times I've seen him connect he hasn't dropped

the person but he does get active. Yeah but Shaq is 52 years old like Shaq ain't fighting. Yeah and Dwight is in better shape right now. Yeah I always say Shaq and Harley run somewhere so it's not gonna happen. I still think Shaq probably got that old man scrim for now. Do I have to fight dirty? Yeah. Do I have to hit below the belt? I wanted to get to this real quick yo. LeAngelo Ball has a hit and everybody's surprised about this.

He dropped a song last Friday, it's called Tweaker, and a lot of celebrities is actually surprised that they like it. Where the song at? We got it Why they go like the money in my pocket blow? They having convo's about me these don't know Yeah, I see everybody saying it's not like that. Yeah, if you come from a certain area, it sounds like some early 2000s Cash money cash money, you know My Louisiana definitely say yeah juvenile. Yep, Louisiana

I could see Boosie on and actually Boosie actually wanted to be on it And so did money bag you're inquired about hopping on a remix meek was on tweet It's what I trying to find it and everything and now rolling loud has announced Lee Angelo will be performing during his first rolling loud in LA in March, so he just gonna do one song I Mean, yeah, absolutely. Hey headlining. I mean, but this this song is actually Liking it. Yeah rolling loud is doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing And if I was a radio station if I was a program director I'd be telling my DJs to play that in the mix show and I probably would even have that song, you know

Programmed after 6 p.m. Like hearing it just because of the way that social media is talking about but why do things that make sense nowadays? Right right about that Oh and a person on Twitter say L'Ang Angela Ball bringing back the bling bling era of hip hop by himself and he will be remembered. That's crazy that he'll be remembered for that. Wasn't he some good in the league? Nah. He played in the G League.

I don't think he ever made it to the league, right? That's right. He just played in the G League and played overseas for a little bit. The other two brothers are in the league. They were G3, got some hot fire, so that's what's up. Alright, that is Jess with the mess. Thank you, Jess. Yep. People's Choice Mix is up next. Get your request in. It's the Breakfast Club.

Chloe should be hosting the NAACP Image Awards. I don't see any other reason for her to be running around with them. But like she said, if she can't host, she wants to perform. To me, that's a no-brainer, but what do I know?

Right. And don't forget the awards are air February 22nd. The nominations were announced yesterday, and you can actually go to their website if you want to cast your vote for your favorite artist. And salute to Dwight Howard and Shaquille O'Neal again, man. It makes me just really wish that Celebrity Def Match was coming back. We were supposed to bring Celebrity Def Match back.

It was supposed to be produced by myself and Ice Cube and MTV Green Litter, and they announced it, but they never put it out. But stuff like that is what would make for great Celebr death match. Shaq and Dwight Howard on there fighting, you know? Dwight fighting, hitting below the belt. Going for Shaq's sack.

Okay. Sad part is when he does that, folks gonna say, Dwight not fighting, he in there having a good time. Yeah. Dwight is engaged to a woman. So don't be trying to do that trying to say all that Really engaged to a woman he ain't on that no more he was what if he was delivered Jesus Christ, all right.

You already did a lot of people do the hard work and then they get tired of working hard and they quit But the ones that actually usually make it are the ones that have perseverance So perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. Have a blessed day. Breakfast club bitches! You don't finish or y'all done. Hey, it's Nikki Glaser. So I hosted the Golden Globes at Hollywood's biggest party.
