Hey all you women's hoops fans, and folks who just don't know yet that they're women's hoops fans. We've got a big week over at Good Game with Sarah Spayne as we near the end of one of the most exciting women's college basketball seasons ever. The most parody we've seen in years, with games coming down to the wire and everyone wondering which team will be crowned national champions this weekend in Tampa.

In 2020, a group of young women found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts, Bloomberg, and Kaleidoscope, about the rise of deepfake pornography

and the battle to stop it. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Raleigh that can fly? No, they don't fly. They ain't saying they're water bugs, but they're roaches.

Yeah, alright, so yeah, I always thought the water bugs were like the bougie cousins of the cockroach, but no, they didn't fly. They were just right there. One was big and one was small. I knew the big one had to be the grandmother, because she was moving a little slow. And the little one was probably trying to find her food or whatever. And so I turned on the light. The one at me I'm looking at it I'm like what you doing here this looking at me like you want to ask me the same thing. I was so scared so then I went in the

bedroom and I feel something on the bottom of my foot vibrating it's a bumblebee what I'm like yo what is going on so I hit the people and it was like all around this time of the year, that's normal. That's normal. Yeah, all right. I went to a different heavy heavy. I can't do it. I don't like bugs, yo.

How is a bumblebee in the house? And they get mad because I stepped on them. I didn't know that you'd be here. So you let the roach live? I let everybody live. I let them have their house. No, I'm done. Jesus. All right. Well, I'm done. Jesus, alright.

Well, salute to, um, this was the longest dance competition I've ever been to. It was 6am to 11.30pm. Damn. 6am to 11.30pm. Jesus. Yeah, that's what I said. Where? It was in Jersey, in Hackensack, and then we were supposed to go back Sunday, but the

But I did take Jackson to his soccer game, professional soccer game, the New York City Football Club, which was different. I still don't know anything about football. Yo, your kids beating to everything.

You ain't know nothing about no damn soccer. I still don't know anything about soccer. I was confused. I was confused the whole time. I didn't know if I should cheer. Not to cheer. I had no idea. Gold, not gold, I was confused. I don't know if I should cheer. I had no idea. Gold not gold. I don't know. I was just trying to follow his lead. But that was the weekend.

Alright, let's get the show cracking. Ryan Coogler will be joining us this morning. Man, Ryan Coogler just did a new movie. Another movie with Michael B. Jordan called Sinners. It'll be out April 18th. I mean, he's got so many things to talk about. Ryan Coogler is one of the greatest minds of our time Especially when it comes to film. That's right, you know like the black panther Creed and host others But like you said sinners will be in the theaters April 18th. We'll talk to them in a little bit and then we got front-page news So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious. Shalime the guy We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front-page news

Hey, Jess Hilarious, Shalamine the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now in sport, the Yukon Huskies win the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. They beat South Carolina 82 to 59. No, Yukon deserves it, though. Salute the page backers, you know what I'm saying? They balled out.

With all the injuries that she dealt with when she first got to Yukon, for her to end her career in Yukon with a championship, dropping the food bombs foronds for the UConn. They balled out yesterday. Now also tonight Florida plays Houston at 850 for the men's NCAA tournament. Man I wish I cared. I really do wish I cared about men's college basketball. Why you don't care?

I just don't. I haven't fought for a few years. Not exciting anymore? No. Just the women's, at least for me, women's college basketball just don't. I have it for a few years. It's not exciting anymore? No, just the women's, I mean, at least for me, women's college basketball just been better. More entertaining. Yeah. What's up, Morgan? Hey, good morning, y'all. Happy Monday. How you feeling? Morning. All right, let's, okay, we a little delayed, but let's get into it then. Okay, US stock futures are plunging, y'all,

giving an indication of what may be to come today this week I mean we will see what's gonna happen on Wall Street so on Sunday President Trump said he wasn't aware of what was in store for the week but he claims the US is stronger as a result of his reciprocal tariffs let's take a listen to those comments from President Trump What's going to happen with the market? I can't tell you, but I can tell you our country has gotten a lot stronger and eventually It'll be a country like no other. It'll be the most dominant country economically in the world So the president didn't hesitate to blame previous leaders for the reason why he felt the need to Implement the tariffs as for the market the Dow Jones industrial

S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures fell all roughly 4% on Sunday. The Dow saw back to back losses over 1500 points for the first time last week while the S&P took a 6% drop Friday, the worst since March of 2020, which by the way was when the pandemic started. The market was slammed following continued concerns. Trump has ignited a global trade war in regards to his new tariffs and the president claims hundreds of billions of dollars are pouring into the US

monthly as a result of the tariffs. I'm not sure how that goes considering the tariffs just started last week but yeah. So meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he's rejecting claims that the world's economies are crashing because of President Trump's sweeping tariffs. Speaking Friday at a NATO business meeting in Brussels, Rubio said markets are crashing because they rely on the stock values of companies tied to production methods that harm the US. He added businesses just need to know what the rules are and once they do they'll adjust, especially if they're operating in America. Let's take a listen to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Their economies are not crashed.

Are reacting to a dramatic change in the global order in terms of trade. As long as they know what the rules are gonna be moving forward, and as long as that's set in and you can sustain where you're gonna be, the markets will adjust. I still don't understand this.

So they say they're doing this because they wanna bring manufacturing back to America, right? Yes. Right. And we all know it costs too much to manufacture things here in America. And we also know that in the next five to 10 years, all those jobs they're talking about bringing because of manufacturing here are going to be replaced by AI anyway.

There is a strong possibility of that. You know, this is a crazy thing. Strong possibility? That's what happens. I cannot, well, yeah, we can, I cannot report the future. You know, this is a possibility. That's not. Well, yeah, we can. I cannot report the future. I can report what is happening. But yes, that does seem to be the direction we are headed in.

In fact, Commerce Secretary Howard Lucknick, he says the power of the US does need to be reset. That's what he's calling it. Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation, Lucknick said the new global tariffs put in place by President Trump were to address a national security issue. And he also said the focus will be on companies that want to be here. So let's take a listen to Howard Letnick. If we had a warship, we can't fly a plane, we can't build our own planes, we don't have

our own semiconductors. This is what the president is here to fix for America trillions and trillions of dollars you heard the president speak about it are coming to invest in America this is the economy of the world we are the consumer of the world so it seemingly that you know they're ripping off the band-aid and it's just that initial hurt you know when that band-aid rips off and that's a seemingly but hopefully you know now that the wound as a president Can take the president what did he say he? compares this to medicine so maybe we could get some neosporin or something on it and things will start to heal up after

You know this band-aid has been ripped off I hope so I hope that's the case, but you know it don't every economist don't know what the hell going on So yeah, 90 days is what I'm being told we will start to see what truly is have I already started to see stuff within The week gas alone is going up. I saw I'm noticing that so, you know We will continue to watch the market will continue to see what happens as these tariffs sweep and how they impact us So that's just 6 a.m. Front-page news at 7. We will talk about they impact us. So that's your 6 a.m. front page news at 7. We will talk about the Trump protests that happened over the course of the weekend. All right.

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. So Terrence Howard appeared on the PBD podcast with Patrick McDavid and the episode this premiered on April 4th.

Definitely making a round because in this episode, Terrence Howard describes an interaction with Diddy where he says that he believes that Diddy was trying to have sex with him. Let's take a listen. Puffy invited me for four weeks asking me to come and wanted me to be his acting coach for a while. I'm like, okay, what's the material you want to work on? He's just looking at me then next thing you know, okay, hey, we, um, will you help me? Um, I want to hear your music. So I'll come over there and I'm playing the music and he's sitting

there just looking at me like waiting. So then my assistant was like, you know, he wants to hang out with you next week. And I was like, for what? He's like, I think he's trying to you. That's what my assistant said. I was like, oh, okay. Now I get it. So now no more communication. Now, you notice to be hands off with somebody, a number of producers coming to make the approach and you threaten to punch them in the mouth of threatening to knock their head off for talking to you like, or looking at you like you're a woman have lost businesses because I don't I don't bend over in that way I don't compromise I don't play gay roles I don't kiss a man I don't do that because the man cart

means everything I know that's right Did he said uh did he said you wanted to make a movie with Terrence Howard called Hustle and Blow? You're a clown. I knew it. That's what that movie is. You're a gay type of gay stupider. It's a gay. It's a modern day.

It's stupid. You said you was looking at him like when Maturi you want to work on it, did he say you? You the Maturi. Did he say what they call you, a luscious lion? But that's his interpretation, right? Oh yeah. He didn't make a pass.

He didn't grab his ass up. But what? He was looking at him. He's the assistant. Charlamagne looks at me. Oh, you know what? You're right. You're right. But if he tell you, I want you to be my acting coach, right?

And I can get over there. And I'm like, all right, what material we got? And you're just looking at me. Like, are you already in some type of character? Like, what's going on? That is true, though. That is not a fair headline to say Diddy tried to sleep with Terrence Howard

Because he didn't try anything. It's just that the assistant said I think he's trying to Say some stuff like that too if I saw you spending too much time with Because this would be funny. Diddy might have been high. Diddy could have been high. Just looking at Terrence Howard the whole time Maybe he just was enjoying the company. Terrence Howard, I watched, I tried to complete this whole interview But it was a lot that went over my head because they were talking. It was a lot. That deep.

Yes, but I can understand why you would just sit and listen and look at Taron Tower. He has a lot to say. And it's just like a man, right? Men like to be like, yeah, she wanted to give me some, but all the girls said was hi. You know what I'm saying? Don't play with turns like that. Don't play with turns like that. Don't do the hit. Well, so they also, the conversation and what they led into this point was they were having a conversation about like just Hollywood and being on the creative side and why Terrence

Howard decided to step away from different roles like, you know, Marvel and things like that. And he said that basically he does certain things to keep his integrity. That's how we got here. So we're going to go into the Marvel side of the conversation and him stepping away from certain projects next hour. But I did want to bring up since we're talking about Diddy over the weekend, also, news came out that Cassie, we knew there had been reports that she was going to testify, but now there's

been more information released. Cassie is going to testify. It's confirmed and she will not testify anonymous. Now there are, I think there's two other victims, victim two and three, but Cassie was always listed as victim one and the other victims have asked to remain anonymous. Is this from the video? Yeah. So, so the video is a piece of it, but he's not being charged with anything in relation to the video. She had other claims as well too. So this statement here is victim one is prepared to testify

under her own name during the upcoming trial where Diddy will defend himself against charges of racketeer, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Now that's a big deal, especially because even if we can't see into the court video wiser will be reporters in there. and that means that everything that she says It's gonna be under her name not victim one So it's just gonna pick up way bigger but I think it's just gonna make a difference because now at this point the video has been discussed so much and then that coupled with her other claims of like things that he allegedly did he allegedly made her do

Seeing her her name being put on it. I think that that emotionally is gonna that can that can sway That's gonna be a hard hit for him. And then also because he paid her Seeing her, her name being put on it, I think that that emotionally is gonna, that can, that can sway. That's gonna be a hard hit for him. And then also because he paid her, right? He paid her all the bridge. Civilly, yeah. So, yeah, civilly there was some- Alright, so that's a whole different situation.

Well, he didn't pay her civilly, but he settled out with her. That was what I was gonna say. There was some sort of a settlement. We still to this day don't know what that settlement exactly, like everything that- What that was for. Well, we knew, we knew what it was for. We just don't know all the intricate details of the settlement because after it happened No one was able to talk about it right but a part of it was like they don't mention each other

They don't whatever whatever but when it comes to something like this where you're being subpoenaed by a court All that goes out the window So she's you know deciding to come in and stand on everything that she's saying Yeah, she will be the biggest witness right because that was his girlfriend for the longest time So she's seen everything she quote unquote know where the bodies are, so that will be the biggest witness. It's gonna be rough for her though. It's gonna be rough for her because Cassie's gonna have to admit to doing a lot of things that she was involved in as well. And I'm sure she doesn't care at this point, but it's gonna be a lot of intimate details about her sex

life as well that come out on that question. 100% because Ziti's team has already come out and basically said a lot of what we've seen on these tapes and a lot of what we've seen on these tapes a lot Of the claims especially in his past relationships. Everything was consensual, right? So yeah, it's gonna be hard for her people are definitely gonna have a lot to say And the other victims have chose to keep their names anonymous for that reason. They don't want people coming for them Yeah, I'm now switching gears here some something that was you know, could have been super super bad But turned into a positive over the weekend. There was a video that went viral of wall, could have been super, super bad, but turned into a positive.

Over the weekend, there was a video that went viral of Wallo. Wallo's been up here, motivational speaker, doing dollars with the game. And he is on a bridge with a police officer and a man who was attempting to jump off of this bridge. Now there's someone riding by who records it and they're like, yo, look at Wallo trying to save this man. You hear Wallo talking. So I reached out to Wallo and I just was asking him like, you know, I want to make sure that when I report this, I give it is just due. So is there anything that you know you want to include? And he was like, you know, it's up to you guys to talk about it however you want. But I did ask him like,

how did you even encounter that? Did the police call you there? You just rode by? He said that first of all, the man was saved. He didn't jump. He said it was a two hour process talking the man back off of this bridge and that the man asked Wallo to call his family, so Wallo called his family, they came and then together they all got him down. Once the family came they took over everything. It was like right place, right time type of thing. And I'm like man, Wallo you understand he's like a walking angel. Where is this? Somewhere a walking angel somewhere in

Pennsylvania somewhere in the Philippines. You're dropping the clues for Walu. Great human. Yeah. The fact that the guy didn't jump. Right exactly. Now in other news, Gail King.

Hey there, Ed Helms here, host of Snafu, your favorite podcast about history's greatest screw ups. It's the 1920s, Prohibition is in full swing, and a lot of people are mysteriously dying? Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrand is becoming increasingly desperate

in forcing Prohibition. She was a lone warrior. I mean, how could Mabel not be feeling the pressure? Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent, even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences for drinking hurt a lot more. Which she does, arguably a little too well.

my partner told me when we first got together that he has cancer. He's currently living with his mom while he is in recovery so that it takes the pressure off me caring for both him and her baby until he's well enough to move into our new home with us. So far. Well last week we had attempted break-in.

I asked my husband who was supposed to be at his mom's to come over and change locks, but he wouldn't. Then his mom told me he wasn't with her. I went to Facebook and it took me less than an hour to find the first two women he was cheating on me with. Oh! What else is he lying about? Well, one thing my paranoia just wouldn't let up was about the cancer in his treatments. I asked his mom about it who told me he doesn't have cancer. She also informed me he was in rehab, not the hospital.

He suffered from addiction and was trying to recover for me and our baby. Did she leave him? Well, to find out how the story ends, listen and follow the OK Storytime podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own.

I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deep fake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes

trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Leavittown, a new podcast from I Heart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's big tape podcast find it on the I Heart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts Quoting what the comedian said though. That's a quote Because I mean there are certain things that you can't quote me into.

That's the same thing that happened to me. I quoted somebody and they don't jump on me. I was quoting something that somebody said a couple years ago. I got in trouble for it. By the way, Gail King going to space in a few days and that's what all y'all can talk about? That's what I'm saying. And Trump said that we can say it. He did not say we can say it.

That wasn't real. That was not real. We can say it But yeah, I know CBS CBS mornings comes on that 7 a.m. So we are locked in and not apologize Apologizes she probably will people were really upset about what she was quoting somebody be upset. I mean you said it He's gay and he can say he laughs when gail responded I mean we go repeated it but gail is not a gay man That is true, but you can't Write personal understand I heard this You know gail not homophobic we know that you know this word you can't say she shouldn't be fine if she gonna apologize this morning and say my bad That's what I don't know for a fact that she's gonna apologize I just assume she's going to so we're preparing and recording and we'll be back with the next hour in case she does

But I got the transcript you want to repeat the dream talk about y'all going to space not one time on this radio But you come here talking all that negative about her saying you're gonna repeat the job messy. Are you gonna repeat the job? No, okay. Well, then why she can she why do you want her? I would call it though if I was if I was reading it. I would probably quote it Chaos exactly By the way, I'm sure gail king is quoted worse is what I'm saying In the game, he's probably not even man enough enough And I would love to know the context of it, because we only played a little two seconds

of it. Like how were they talking? She said he was disrespectful and this is what he said. What was the full context? No, no, no. It was a joke that he, she says it in the audio. It was a joke that he had about how white women turn, like when they get lit, like when they get drunk, how they turn into basically like kind of like almost like gay men.

And she repeats a line from his joke and she said, I hope I'm not going to get in trouble for this. Oh, wow. Like she was repeating the joke. And she said, I hope I'm not gonna get in trouble for this. Like she was repeating the joke, but people were like, you shouldn't have repeated the joke. So we'll see at 7 a.m., and yes, she is going to space. Yeah, she's going to space. Yeah, that's secondary. To the silly ass slur.

Certain jokes you just don't repeat. Exactly, and Charlamagne know he wouldn't repeat it either. I bet you the maddest people are straight though. It's never the people that's supposed to be a fencer. That's true. That's true. Crazy. All right.

Now when we come back, we got those front page news. And by the way, it was the way he said it. She didn't just say the word. Yeah. It had a re at the end. So it was like, so it was like, maggotry. That's the joke. Oh, yes.

So she folded the whole, it wasn't just that one slur. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We played the audio, did you not hear it? It was a bleep.? It was bleeped! Yeah, right. So what she described was the art of being gay as man. The art? Mateo used a specific word, yes, he said maggotry.

Yes. So that's why she had to quote it. That's what I said, you need the full context. She didn't say you... I forget that y'all, y'all don't just... She said it was what in the maggotry are you talking about. And that's what I said, you need the full context. I saw it unbleeped and I read about it. She didn't say you It was what in the maggot tree I saw it unbleeped and I read about I forgot y'all don't just like be just watching all of that Like so I knew the full word

I thought we were gonna add the tree at leave the tree at the end so y'all can at least hear that part And that's what we were gonna. That's why it had to be quoted people. Why? All right from page news. Next is the breakfast club. Good morning. You're checking out the breakfast club J envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get back to some front page news Now we got to congratulate the Yukon Huskies. They won the N some NCAA women's basketball championship yesterday They'd be South Carolina 82 to 59. They beat my cocks man beat South Carolina 82 to 59. They beat my cocks man. They did. Say the whole name yo because I can't even say aim cocks. South Carolina game cocks but that's what we say the cocks go cocks. They beat my cocks. But I do want to say congratulations to the Yukon

Huskies because if you've been following Paige Becker's story man you know that she had you know a series of injuries at the beginning of her college career that set her back a couple of years. So to see her bounce back the way that she has, win a championship, can't do nothing but salute that young lady, man. Yeah, they played ball last night.

Now also Florida takes on Houston at 8.50 tonight. What's up, Morgan? Hey, what's going on is what happened over the weekend, okay? A lot of protests across the country protesting Trump. Okay. So over a million people took part in anti-Trump protests on Saturdays. So rallies were held on all 50 states as well as around the world in response to the Trump administration's actions.

Now organizers of the hands off protests say they have three demands and into the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration an end to slashing federal funds for Medicaid Social Security and other programs working people rely on and an end to the attacks on immigrants trans people and other communities Reverend William Barber II who is an infamous Reverend was among those early on in speaking on the program. Let's take a listen to his comments.

When Trump and Musk and Johnson and their minions are signing unconstitutional executive orders, unconstitutionally firing people, trying to pass an unjust budget, when they are doing this, we must say, take your hands off of our democracy. You know Texas Congressman Al Green was also in attendance. He had some plans to impeach Trump. The Texas Democrat spoke at the anti-Trump rally in DC this weekend telling protesters that Trump doesn't deserve to be president. Me and Al Green have already had this conversation when he was on the breakfast club when he was here on the breakfast club. Such a waste of time. They've already impeached Trump twice. It's done nothing. What does impeachment really mean? Because it's just paperwork because

they never leave offices. It's not like they leave. It is a paperwork thing. So, added that Trump can't be trusted with liberty and justice for all nor can he be entrusted with government of the people by the people and for the people. So thousands of people again, as I mentioned, gathered in DC and then there were similar rallies held across major cities including New York, Boston, Chicago and LA. Well, speaking of LA in case you missed it that California of the former vice president that we used to have out of California Kamala Harris. She spoke last Thursday at the leading women define summit in Dana Point, California.

She said a lot has changed in the past few months since she was defeated at the ballot box by President Donald Trump. But in many ways some of us is not coming as much of a surprise to her. So let's take a listen to former Vice President Kamala Harris. You know, there were many things that we knew would happen. Many things. I'm not here to say I told you so. She said, I'm not here to say I told you so. She said progress and policies that ultimately led to progress have been rolled back, which we are seeing, and a sense of fear has washed over so many in the country. And she said, as a result, we are seeing people stay quiet.

We are seeing organizations stay quiet. We're seeing those who are capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats and in the end hair stress that the whole world is watching And noted courage is contagious. So as you're saying what you're saying You know, you know to I want to say to the VP I have no problem with her saying I told you so because that's what politics is letting people know What your opponent is doing wrong and if I told you what was gonna happen, maybe you'll listen to me next time Well, she said I didn't come to say I told you so but you know how that goes And I told you so let's take a listen to a former president Obama's audio. He

Had some audio surfacing or video surfacing on social media that basically was like, you know What would have happened if he would have done this? Let's listen to Obama Imagine if I had done any of this Let me just I just I just want to be clear about this Imagine if I had pulled Fox News's credentials from the White House press court, you're laughing but no that this is what's happening Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated that you will not be allowed into government buildings. Yeah. So this is real guys. In case you guys miss it, I'm not sure who all listens and what not and follows me, but that's the truth.

My White House press credential has essentially been revoked and it is true. I'm not sure how or why I can't gain access to the White House like I used to. But it pulled it from you? No reason why? Yes. It was like I was just not on the list, not receiving emails and I've been trying to, you know, I can't even get in. Because you work for the black information network.

The black information network. You can say it's the black information network if you want to and it is, but you know, it's not like he's loving on y'all either. So there's that too. So I'm just saying. But that is probably why though. I mean, especially when you look at Pete Heksef and you look at all of the books that he just removed from the, uh, what was that? The military library,

if I'm not mistaken. And all of those books are, are, are black books, books about sexuality. They're also talking about rolling back initiatives at the Smithsonian's calling, uh, like the national African National African American Museum of you know, history and culture saying that that's anti American and anti ideology of America. So it's just kind of crazy. I just want you guys to pay attention to what's going on. Make sure you get straight. You know what I mean? Like, get get right, get right with with whoever your maker is and get right and make sure you are in standing as a citizen. And I want to say one more thing about Obama.

I understand what Obama was trying to say, but he should have made it really personal and say, can you imagine if me as a black man had done anything Trump has done because when he made it about Democrats, actually that's what we've been trying to imagine. Yeah, let's imagine if Democrats actually thought outside the box and dared Republicans to do something about it. Democrats are still stuck in a right

and wrong way of doing things. All that self-restraint and doing things the so-called right way has gotten them nowhere. And there's a bunch of examples we could use to imagine if Obama or any Democrat showed some political courage and the will to do what they know is right, regardless of what the backlash will, regardless of what the backlash from Republicans will be. So, so yeah. So when Obama says imagine, yeah, we've all been trying to imagine if Democrats showed some political courage and the will to do what they know is right, regardless of what the backlash from Republicans will be. We've imagined that.

All right, y'all.all, we'll continue to imagine and we'll continue to experience what's going on for real, in real life. That's your front page news.

Now, when we come back, we have director of Black Panther and Creed and now his new movie Sinners coming out April 18th. Ryan Coogler. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in. And we got a special guest in the building. He's back, ladies and gentlemen, Ryan Coogler. Welcome back, brother. Man, it's nice to be here, bro. How you feeling? I'm feeling good, bro.

Feeling good. We just made our movie last night. You know, so happy to be at this stage and putting it out and happy to be here talking to y'all. Man, one thing about Ryan, no matter what Ryan is doing, no matter how long he in Hollywood, that Oakland do not get up out of his head. You can hear it.

Every time you talk, I feel like you're about to ask me, what set I'm from? You trippin', bro. We don't even... He's trying to take it up a groupie. He's getting it to himself now. No, no. You're gonna ask somebody that in Oakland, bro. That's an LA thing, asking somebody that, bro.

They set. But how do you stay so grounded, though gonna ask somebody that in Oakland, bro. That's a LA thing, asking somebody that, bro. They say. But how do you stay so grounded, though? Like, you can hear the Oakland in you. Like, you're doing movies that got $90 million budgets, but it don't change it. It's just my accent.

This is how I talk, bro. Yeah, it's like, I don't know. I can't change it. Yeah, it's, you know, it's, and it's funny, cause my mom's, it's actually funny, cause my mom, remember when my accent started to change, cause I started hanging out.

She was like, hey, man, you talking like them, you you talking like you know, you talking like them outside, you know what I'm saying, you're gonna get stuck like that. She's just like, hey. It got stuck like that. So my whole life I got to, I ended up having to explain it, you know what I'm saying. But yeah bro, it's just hard talking. I can't talk about different. I was gonna say that you mentioned Sinners.

So explain to people what Sinners is about. I'm sure they've seen the commercial, they've seen the trailers, but what is Sinners about? Yeah man, it's about two twin brothers who come home to their hometown in Carstow, Mississippi after about seven years in Chicago and they kind of, you know, they basically gangsters, you know what I mean? And very notorious and they come home and pick up their little cousin who's this blues prodigy and they got plans of opening up a juke joint, you know, which is like a black nightclub at that time.

And so it's a 24-hour movie. They gather up all their friends from their past to start this business. And then vampires are showing up and then things go a little left. How difficult was it directing one actor for two different roles? Because Michael B. Jordan played the twin brother. Man, it was, I guess I wouldn't want to talk about it like in terms of degree of difficulty, right? But it was definitely complicated, you know what I'm saying? But I got a great team, bro. I got great producers, fantastic visual effects department.

And we just came up with a plan on how to do it. I actually talked to a few filmmakers who had done things like it. You know, I was in conversation with Chris Nolan, who's a mentor of mine. And he did a similar thing. He actually did a couple movies that had like kind of twinning elements. He did a movie called The Prestige, spoiler alert, it's a twin element and that.

And then he also did a movie called Tenet that came out right at the start of the pandemic with John David Washington. And because you got characters going back and forth in time, like you got scenes with John David Washington fighting himself So I talked to him a little bit I was talking to him about just the format that we shot to film in and we talked a little bit of twin in

There too, but it was another film actor named Sean Durkin who came up to Sundance route He's just done a television series called dead ringers It's a remake of a David Cardenburg film, but it started Rachel Weisz as twin gynecologist You know I'm saying that that identical twin gynecologist played by one actor and I got on the phone with him for about, we probably talked for about an hour on how they made that work and he ran it down to me, you know, kind of blow by blow the things I should be thinking about and I'll be forever grateful to Sean and I actually need to reach out to him, you know, but shit, like it's a lot, it's very, very technical, but it's actually the hardest on Mike. You know, I'm near with the camera and trying to work it out and some days it's a lot. It's very very technical, but it's actually the hardest on Mike You know

I'm near with the camera and trying to and trying to work it out and some some days more complicated than there's all No, if y'all had a chance to see the film yet Okay, yeah so for Michael, you know, yeah, yeah the embodied two completely different people Who were identical twins, which is a very like unique specific type of person, right? And on days where, you know, where the twins were interacting, you know, he would have to start the day as one character, go get changed and come back and then shoot another pass as a other character. We had to cast a twin double, which is an actor who basically is the same build, shape, height, complexion as Mike, to act across from him so he can know where to look. But somebody's not talking to himself.

Okay, so when I was watching it, because even the first time you see them on camera and they're standing next to each other, and I'm like, okay, I know this is technology, but I'm like, as an actor, I know you kind of feed off of, it's very physical. So I was like, I wonder how Michael B. Jordan, what is he using to, because their interaction is.

Now Lauren want to stunt double number just like Michael he built like she can't get the original so she should get the stunt shot out the part she built when they killed a snake in the back of the truck even that I'm like I mean that was something so small but I'm like you gotta know where your people are to know you know what I'm saying I'm like how do they do that I mean look a lot of work man you feel me like like we did a lot of work. But real talk, like, highest degree of difficulty was on Mike. Acting is an insanely difficult thing to do.

You know what I'm saying? To be able to embody another human being. And in this case, he had to embody two of them that had an interdependent relationship on each other. So we had to make sure that Percy could act. But also Mike had to know what he was gonna do because Percy is not Mike. You know what I'm saying?

So you had to kind of like, you know, we had to kind of walk through, all right, well, what would he do when he smoke Percy is not Mike, you know what I'm saying? So you have to kinda like, we have to kinda walk through, all right, well what would he do when he smoke, all right, what would he do when he stack? You have to decide who should go first, you know what I mean? Because knowing that whoever goes second is gonna have to really feed off where the first one was,

they can't walk through the body of the other one, even though they're not there, we gotta map that out. It was very technical, bro, you know what I mean? But I was so impressed with what Mike was able to do, man. I think these two performances are his two best performances he's ever done. And I've been there for all of them. Not all of them, you feel me? But I've been there for some of the great ones, I would say.

I wasn't there for Jess Marshy, I wasn't there for John F. Jordan, Creed II and Creed III. I was an executive producer. Creed III I produced. But as far as what I'm directing, right there standing I said camera watching him. I haven't seen a movie but there's two brothers these dudes is gangsters straight up You know sound like an old-school gangsters like the gangsters that the gangsters we came up on her look You know came up on her, you know, you know, I mean in World War one veterans and one brother is far more gangster than the other one I mean, it's funny because it was it was it was complicated because he's actually kind of cool

You know like like and constantly more cunning than anything it was complicated because he's actually kind of cool. You know, like constantly more cunning than anything. You got that funny story about Nelly, bro. You know what I'm saying? We said, Nelly calmly told you, like I got a contingency for it. Everybody be like, yo, who's the person that came to the show that made you feel like they would really f*** you up? I'm like, Nelly.

They're like, Nelly. Everybody be like, Nelly. It's because he had such a calm demeanor about him. So where I'm from, bro, you know, you had the guys that was you had the guys that was rah rah and high that didn't last long. You know I mean they got killed early, went to jail early. The dudes that lasted longish is the dudes that'll sit right there and you don't even know they just decided they gonna have you whacked. But that's something you know what I'm saying?

That's most gangsters. The real scary ones even in New York were the ones that didn't say much real quiet, real calm. Those are the ones that didn't say much real quiet real calm Yeah, those are the ones you had to be scared. Yes, that's smoke in the movie and I'll never forget Bro, they zero we were shooting he came to set out smoke and Ruth Carter who's a legendary costumer? Of course, she came up to me and I could tell she was like a little bit a little bit flustered You know I'm saying she was like, hey, you know, I got this jewelry, you know I got I got different, you know, like kind of getting that costum costumes together and she was saying like, you gotta look at it and tell me what you want him to have.

I put both things on him. So Mike walked up, I've been knowing Mike a long time, bro. You know what I mean? We homies, you feel me? And some of all his energy's made my blood run cold. You know what I mean? And so I asked him the question that she want, it was like something about a bracelet,

if he wanted a bracelet or something or not. And I said, hey bro, do you want the bracelet on this arm for Smoke or this arm? And he said, I'm indifferent. But he said it in like this deep Southern accent, you know what I'm saying? And I looked at him and I was like, oh, he's completely somebody else, you know what I'm saying? And he had like a thousand yard stare, you feel me? And I was like, oh, maybe we gotta get to work.

I put him right in the car and started shooting. I don't even know if I took the bracelet off or not Alright we got more with Ryan Coogler when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody is DJ, Envy, Just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club, Lauren Roces here as well we're still kicking it with Ryan Coogler you know director of Black Panther and Creed and now the new movie Sinners, which comes out April 18th. So what made you want to do this movie?

So look, I had an uncle named Uncle James Emerson. He was born and raised in Mississippi, but then fled to Oakland when he was like in his twenties. You know, so, you know, that's where I was born. And we probably like the second wave of the great migration, right? You know, it's basically like the oldest member of my family for, oldest male member of my family for a long time. And my parents couldn't afford to buy a house in Oakland. We ended up moving to Richmond, which is, you know,

it's essentially like Newark would be here in New York, right, if Oakland was Brooklyn. And shortly after we moved, my Uncle James, his family moved. They was like down the block from me, you know? So I would go spend time with him. When I went to get out the house, I could walk to his house. And all he would do when he was off from work is he would listen to, he would either watch a San Francisco Giants

game on TV or he would listen to it on the radio if it wasn't televised to drink all Taylor whiskey and play blues records on vinyl. You know what I'm saying? And I came to associate that music with him. I didn't think about the music. You know, for me, it was, you know what I'm saying? It was rapping R&B, right? But in 2015, he ended up passing away and he got sick while I was making Creed. So I was like, I was in Philly for most of the time while he was sick.

Then I had to go to LA and do post-production and I got the call that he died while I was like, I don't know, like picture locking or something. And I felt like, I remember being in the hallway with my wife who produced this movie, and just feeling like, bro, what the fuck am I doing, man? I'm not at home with my, you know what I'm saying?

I'm like in the hallway in the middle of LA in some dirty production facility, you know what I'm saying? And I made it home for the funeral, but I never reckoned with that feeling of not being there with somebody who was so important to me. And so I would find myself when I was thinking about even playing like all blues records, you feel me? Like, and when I would listen to him,

it was like, if I closed my eyes, it was like he was there with me. You know what I'm saying? Like the power of music to be able to do that, right? So you got that. There was another element to it. So I've been making films based on other things, basically my whole career, right?

Like my first feature film was Fruitville. And I was based on a real thing that happened you know saying where I'm from right it's only you know it's only it's only so many ways you tell that story and I was trying to tell it the way that had the most integrity for where I'm from before his family and for who that young man was was murdered by a police officer and then I was forced up to make a movie in the rocky universe right you know I'm make a movie in the Iraqi universe, right? You know what I'm saying?

A movie about Apollo creating the sun and like I hired for the Black Panther movies, you know what I'm saying? So these are all stuff based on other things. So I'm on Panther 2 and it's taken a long time. We had a lot of experience, a lot of tragedy, a lot of misfortune. It's a lot of ****. It wasn't just us, by the way. It was during a global pandemic, you know what I'm saying?

And tragically lost our actor. So I had to rest in peace. us by the way it was during a global pandemic you know I'm saying and tragically lost our actor your rest in peace so I had to refigure that out and keep it together with everybody who was involved still want to make something and our lead actress lovely Letitia Wright was was injured on set had to shut down for that Omar Kron shut us down and you know in Atlanta ended up being like a four-year movie bro wow and I remember we was going through the maybe the worst of it man and what would get me through, you know, while I was out there, was listening to some of my favorite artists, bro.

And I was listening to a lot of Nip, Rest In Peace, and I was listening to a lot of Dolph, right? Rest In Peace, Lord of the Perse, God. But when I was listening to Dolph, bro, it wasn't Rest In Peace yet, bro. Wasn't Rest In Peace yet. And I'll never forget, bro, I think it was November 17th, 2021.

I'm in Byron, Georgia and I see my first cotton field driver I've ever seen in my life. Wow. We riding and I saw it. I told the driver, hey man, pull over. You know what I'm saying? Bounced off, I had never seen one before. You know what I mean?

The driver white? Nah, he was not. I'm just making sure. He probably was like, yes, finally. I'm trying to get them back in. Nah, he was not, bro. Shouts out to Craig, man. Black man from New York. Yeah, Craig from New York.

The black man from New York. But we was working out in Atlanta, right? Like, it's very wild. We was making them movies. But I'm in a burning, drop down show, bro. And I literally went into the field just to see it, bro. I was having like a crazy ass, you know what I'm saying? Mom, it was like, um.

What that felt like? Keeping it a hundred, bro, I can't describe it, bro, because I felt guilty. I felt like, you know, I've been on this show, bro, talking about going to Africa and how I wanted to get tapped in with my ancestors. But then it was my ancestors' 400 years removed. This was my ancestors' 100 years removed.

Hadn't been there, hadn't seen it. So it was like an overwhelming sense of guilt more than anything, right? I took something and I believe that day is when I heard he was murdered. Dolph. I had never met this dude. I had never met Nick, you know what I'm saying?

But I felt like I knew him. You know what I'm saying? Like from the music. And I remember being like, man, f*** this, cause you gotta keep in mind, I was in the bay bro, going to football practice with my homies when we heard Pac-Dot and we would see Pac you know you know you know I'm saying like it shot our whole football practice down the mamas was crying the coaches

was crying and I'm like I'm like bro as a fan is music bro bro it's been a lifetime on this bro like being in Philly on creed and hearing that that that the jack of rest in peace got killed you know I'm saying or that kid to sneak out shot in the back he paralyzed now like I, you know, my homies out there that came up and was rapping, y'all never heard of, you feel me? That day. And I'm like, I'm like, bro, I can't listen to this music right now, bro, I can't, I gotta take a break. You feel me?

And I remember venting to my producer, who's from Central California, he's from Clovis, black man, but from a different culture there. I said, bro, what kind of music is here, bro, where the artist talks about how to navigate where they from how to escape all The demons they dealing with man. They succeed get to that 30s and still fall victim to the what music exists like this I was saying it like he looked at me. He's a smart dude night night more He looked at me broke in a real empathetic way considered it. He's like my favorite music like that I say what music is that? He said man grunge music. I said, huh? He said, yeah, man He's like he said we just lost Chris Cornell, bro.

He was in his 50s. Yeah, they overdosed a lot. Yeah, he was like, all that music is about struggling with that demons depression and trying to kick dope. You know what I mean? And they end up, they get all the money in the world standing up dying in hotel rooms. I said, damn.

And what's crazy is, in the Bay, our biggest radio station is 106.1 came here. And the only rock song that ever played on that station, bro, coming up was Nirvana with Smell Like Teen Spirit. So I was like, man, let me dig in into this grunge music. I'm gonna take a break from, you know what I'm saying, from rapping to listen to some grunge. And I started listening to it, bro. And I was like, man, this s*** sound like what my uncle used to play.

Like I was listening to- The jazz he used to play? No, the blues. Oh, the blues, okay. Like it's literally, like I'm listening to it. I'm listening to the guitar riffs and like what, what they talking about and, like, the passion they singing with. And I'm like, that's odd.

Man, I dug into the research, man. And that's exactly what it is. You know what I'm saying? It's just, it's just, it just blows me to song about white people. And this is, it's just like within the same 24 hours. You know what I'm saying? That was, that was when I was, that's when I was, like, sharecropping blues, the evolution of it, the racist origins of genre as a concept. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm like, Icropping blues, the evolution of it, the racist origins of genre

as a concept, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, I think it's a movie in this. And I'm just a big horror movie fan, bro. I like horror and all this fashion. Nobody really knew that about me, you know what I'm saying? Just because of the movies that I made. So I put that with it too. And this is how we got sinners, if that makes sense.

And that's crazy, cause when they talk about sinners, they talk about how your genre blending, right? They call it horror, drama, and everything else. But you gotta put hip hop in there too. It felt like even in the way that the smoke and, what's the other thing? Stack, smoke and stack, even the way that they maneuver and the way that they move, like even,

it's small stuff in there, and I'm hearing you say that it wasn't purposefully, I guess, but even the way he pulls out his gun and stuff like that It's like it's so much to it and when I was watching the parts that I did see of it I was just sitting here thinking like wow like I wonder how many times you sit and watch it and you catch something different every Single time because it's like layered and I think some of it is not on purpose. Like does that happen to you still? Yeah, oftentimes cash things with this movie especially, because it was so personal. And I would become a more experienced filmmaker.

You know what I mean? And I'd be like, oh, I was doing that. You know, I didn't realize it. And the other thing that happens, man, when you work on, because our art form is a tricky one, right? Like, you know, for instance, the young, great legend Rod Wave watched the movie

and then went and knocked out a song for us in a day, inspired by the film. And since it's a song, I'm like, yo, this shit's done. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's nothing else we can do for this. We can't touch it. Took him a night. But we working the years. And what's crazy is, you're not even the same person in four months.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I've written a screenplay and then got to, like, the last day of shooting. I'm looking at the script like, what the fuck is up? Like, who wrote this? You know what I'm saying? I often say that like, man, what was I thinking? And I'm trying to get back into my own head, you know what I'm saying? From time to time, you know, you're editing the film and mixing the sound.

And sometimes I'll be like, oh, that's what I meant. You know what I'm saying? Oh, like that's what this is. You feel me? But yeah, I still see things, man. And this wasn't based on anything like direct. So you pull from yourself. All right, we got more with Ryan Coogler.

And what Chad taught me bro, he changed my life bro. You know what I'm saying? But he was the kind of teacher, you never knew you was getting a lesson when he taught. You know what I'm saying?

It was all by example. What he gave me and Michael was patience. He moved at an old school pace and he took his time. He was always early. You know what I'm saying? He was that type of dude, bro. You know what I'm saying? I don't think Mike would be it. Look, man, I told him, and Michael tell you this, I told him, man, I said, hey bro, what

what was it like to suit up across from Mike Jordan? You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, it made you a better Hooper, I bet. You know, and that's what it was, you know what I mean? Oh, do you- You gotta come back, Ry. There's so much we gotta discuss. Yeah, I could do this for a while, man.

There's so much to do. I know you don't get to do this time so much. As long as you don't have me, bro, I just want something to sell man I want to tell people go see the movie in theaters you know I guess I'll stay on Chad with just a little bit I recently saw a video with Denzel was speaking about his first time seeing black panther yeah he said it made him feel like he could pass the torch because of you because it was so much deeper than nice it was so much deeper than Denzel I ever sight because he's humble.

Look, man, Chadwick was at Howard University, bro, and he was maybe the most brilliant actor that ever come through there, bro. And Felicia Rashad knew it. He was there to be a filmmaker. And Felicia Rashad wanted to send him to England, where they really do it. Felicia was like, I wanna get you to Oxford.

I wanna get you on stage in London. Chadwick from Anderson, South Carolina. Felicia was like, don't worry, I'm gonna find somebody to take care of you Shout out from Anderson, South Carolina. Felicia like, man, don't worry, I'm gonna find somebody to take care of you. Goes to Denzel, Denzel says, I'm gonna take care of her for the kid, but I don't want them to know it's me, and I don't wanna know nothing about it.

Wow. Wow. Right? Felicia said, hey, we got a donor for you. Shows him off to Oxford. He goes and shuts the s*** down. Comes back, Chadwick balls me. Right? You know what I'm saying? Later on in his career,

Felicia puts him to the side and said, hey man, that was Den so they pay for that Wow Chad was seized in his element passion for years and years and years It's the patients I'm talking about knew it wasn't time to tell him yet We premier in LA we're in New York. There's a I can pull up he was doing bra I think he was doing the Iceman coming through something. He said I can pull up. I said I bet I tell my actors I say there Denzel coming tonight. Chad immediately pulled me to the side and said, I gotta talk to him before they go in and watch. And I said, what's going on? He

whispered in my ear, bro, I gotta thank him for something. So Denzel, pull up, man. He don't like to be, he's not a Hollywood person crazy enough. He wanted to come in through the back door. He don't want to do the carpet. You know, me dress is very down. And so I grabbed him. I said, man, somebody want to talk to you? Put him do the carpet. You know, me dress is very down. And so I grabbed him, I said, man somebody wanna talk to you. Put him to the side, my wife was there. It was me, Zenzzi, and Denzel and Chad, in a room in a DJI theater in New York, right here in Manhattan.

And Denzel pulled up, I was like, hey man, what's going on? You know, and Chad whispering his **** here, and said, but that was me, and thanked him. That's why Denzel was crying, you know what I'm saying? When he watched the movie. Like, it was because of that. And for me, that's the, look man,

do you know how many actors, bro? As soon as they would've got on, they would've went on the show and said, yeah man, Denzel paid for me to go to Oxford. Mm-hmm. Do you know how many articles they would've got out of that? Yeah. Mm-hmm.

42 press run, I'm Jackie Robinson. Oh yeah, man, by the way, Denzel paid for me to, nah, I told him to his, I told him to his. That's why it's almost impossible for you to even think about recasting a T-Challa. Yeah, no. But with the multiverse, it makes it a little. I mean, we talk about that next time.

Next time. Yeah. Well, can I ask one more question about Cinnas? Yeah. And it's really about Mike, because the relationship you and Mike have, I think does not get enough credit. I really don't.

Like y'all are unity and group operation personified. Do y'all have a symbiotic relationship? Was it immediate or did it develop over time? It developed bro, like I liken it to a quarterback and a wide out, you know what I'm saying? Like I play receiver in college football and it's like that. Like it gets to the point where we got a shorthand and we hold each other accountable We also push each other like we're not trying to do the same thing we did before you know

We're not gonna show up and and and go through the motions We try to show up and and get bigger and better each time But the thing about my brother keep it a honey man the thing I love most about Mike is His kindness bro like like like he's a he's a number one on the car sheet, big old giant f***ing movie star. He's incredibly kind to everybody on set. Focus knows the AD's name, knows the PA's name. Don't come on the set, hey don't look me in the eye, you know what I'm saying? Never raises a question to anybody, you know what I mean? And he works his ass off, so it sets a tone for everybody that you're gonna be respectful.

You're gonna be respectful to the PA up top, to the producer. You're gonna respect women, you know what I'm saying? Like we're gonna be kind. You're respectful to the to the PA up top to the producer We don't respect women. You know, I'm saying we're gonna we're gonna be gonna be kind You know, I mean, we're not going you know, cuz gonna a film set can get can get gnarly You know, I mean if you don't you know, if you don't set the right tone, right? So for me I'm always he always gonna have a job before making something. I hear a good person even when you see him in this element He'll take pictures with kids He'll stop to take pictures to speak to older people, especially when he in Jersey It's ten times worse. He just don't like Charlamagne but besides that Charlamagne always messing about the type of women he like

Nice fullness of emotion and here you come so dark I just messed with him a couple times about the white women he was dating. I'll stay away from that. Oh, that's great. Don't let Dr. Umar down, that's all. Nothing crazy. He said nothing crazy.

But now he's a good, he's a good individual. One last thing. I promise you one last thing. Holy shit. How do you accept an apology from Denzel Washington? Because he said he apologized to you. That's the OG, do you even accept? Nah, he- Do you even get mad from Denzel Washington? Because he said he apologized to you. That's the OG. Do you even accept? Nah, he-

Do you even get mad at him? No, man. Nah, man. I'm blessed to have him in my life, bro. Like straight up, man. Through having him, I get Pauletta, who you were a bigger blessing. Yeah, man. He ain't gonna apologize, bro.

Him saying that we gonna work together, apologize for that. It's crazy. That's what I'm saying. When he called you. He was just like, more than anything, he was like, hey bro, did I say too much? Like it wasn't all, it wasn't, you know, I say too much, man. I didn't mean to make it hard. I'm like, nah, you good. You good. Then y'all just happy to hear from me, man. You FaceTime me in a whole hype. It's just, I'm blessed, bro, to be able to have these mentors, bro. Like I feel like God looks after me bro

She be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club.

Talk to me. I love classroom arguments. Shardamin, you alright? I'm having. You okay? What's your name? Yeah, you all right? You okay? He was just a little angry in here, just making sure before I got started. I was not angry at all. All right.

So Obama, he sat down with a Hamilton College president, Steven, what's his name? Steven Tepper. He sat down with Hamilton College president, Steven Tepper, and he talked about how he's now in a deep deficit with Michelle Obama after serving two terms in the White House. Now I've heard Michelle Obama previously talk about how, you know, there was times where she really did not like him, especially when he became president and they worked through it. But he says, Obama said, so I've been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things

Now again, they've talked about how the presidency had like a huge impact on their marriage And I was reading a lot of the interview He says let me just say this it sure helps to be out of the White House and to have a little more time with her I don't know I understand You know Obama and everything that he did for the country and what him being in the White House meant, but man, every single time they talk about personally how it impacted

their family, it seems like he double hockey sticks. I don't know if I would have put my family in that position. You could say hell, but yeah, I mean, think about it, eight years of constantly being on call, not having the time to spend with your family, your kids, your wife. Yes, absolutely. And I hate y'all. Why? Why would I ever say you hate me?

Because that is a strong word. Don't ever come to me like that. Okay, let's take a minute. This segment is called How the Charlemagne Feel. Imagine having to dig yourself out of a hole because you decided to be president of the United States of America. Because you decided to be the greatest public servant in the country. But you still got family.

You still got kids though. It's your wife, your kids are your kids. Well damn, you don't understand that sacrifice. That's crazy. I'm not saying that I don't, nor does Michelle Obama not understand that sacrifice. Obviously she does, but she's still a wife behind the doors of the White House. Yes. And you still have a family.

You still have a family. But she knows what comes with that. You don't know? Well the first time she didn't know. You don't know until you get any. The first time, they had no idea. But after the fact, does that need to be said? What?

What need to be said? I got to dig myself out of a deficit? I was president for eight years. But people have needs as well. You never had to dig yourself out of a deficit? I wasn't president. But still, in your life right now that you have your United States of America Well, you miss if you miss any of your kids and wife thing

They are upset now imagine being president missing it for eight years Imagine you being present you think you'll be able to go all these damn dance conventions you envy. No, right? I don't understand where your anger is placed right now. What's the issue? It's not anger. It's just tech This is dramatic and it's like he's president. Yeah, it's wife I don't understand where your anger is placed right now. What's the issue? It's not anger. It's just He was a president come on but continue okay my next story let's see if you have something graphed at this point. What else would you like me to talk about? Well let me just say this, Michelle Obama been aging back when she had been looking younger and more glowy or whatever so she definitely happy to have her husband back. And she got her podcast now

she sits down and she talks about a lot of this stuff I was gonna go into other outlets talking about all the times we haven't seen them together publicly and he's coming out and saying he's been doing things to make her happy and spending more time with her. People are hitting at the fact that there may be some issues, but I was going to leave that alone because you said in a messy and I always focus on the negative. But since you want to go there. That was messy. That is messy.

Okay. You have anything else? No, but that is messy. Okay. Well, I was going leave it alone girls girls girls Because the reality is they should be spending more time together now because he's not president but that's right That's what she's saying she but but they're they're not But don't let me stop you from doing your source

No, no, no, you're not stopping me But I just need a translator because I don't know what's happening on that side of the room. He gets on my nerves. So what you're trying to say is, there's trouble in paradise? Are you breaking something? I have no idea, but according to a few outlets,

and I do think that one of them was unfair. According to a few outlets, there is trouble in paradise. What are you alluding to? Just say what you wanna say, stop being a fool. What are you alluding to? I think that it's an unfair observation because some of the things,

some of the places that they pointed out that they were not together at Tell us Obama had came out and publicly said that she wasn't going because she didn't want to be she didn't wasn't in support of certain things so like According to TMZ they say a March alone. We saw Barack at the Los Angeles Clippers game. He's at the game She wasn't there. She wasn't there out to dinner in LA And Jimmy Carter's funeral not the funeral or Donald Trump's inauguration I said it was an unfair observation because she said she wasn't going to Donald Trump's inauguration cuz she Might not be a basketball fan him in his home. We wanted to go so not like basketball

Maybe she wasn't hungry when Obama went to dinner But she doing what she want to do and that's these are things that she didn't want to do exactly Like I said, I'm not going and I'm not. Maybe they're together all the time but we only see certain public appearances. That happens. Cause we do judge people's whole life based off just a few things that we see.

On social media absolutely. Yeah because he's former. We do though. I do. It's hard not to win here Obama. I only get to see but five seconds. But Common Sense should tell you that they have a whole life. Of course they have a whole life, Charlamagne.

I told you. There's a Monday, a Tuesday, a Wednesday, a Thursday, a Friday, Saturday, a Sunday, 24 hours in each of those days. I didn't plan on going down their calendar alerts until you took it there. Yo, I seen Lauren this weekend, and she goes, oh my gosh, you're a real dad. Hey, yo, like you've been making up the camp.

No, no, no. Dad, Envy is so different. He's like so much more laid back, so chill. Like Jackson was like jumping up and down in the soccer game, Envy just like sitting there, barely talking. I'm like, oh my God, look at you. I've never seen you not talk. I don't know anything about soccer. That would be it too.

It was very obvious. Offside's goal, I have no idea. He was so calm. It was like whatever Jackson wanted to do, that's what they were doing. I was like, look at you being a dad. Shalala man, you're a peach cobbler here that's going to leave people alone. Like I'm really like, seriously. No, I'm not doing. I was like look at you being a dad. Oh my gosh. Shalala man you're peach cobbler head ass gonna leave people alone like I'm really like seriously. No I'm not actually. I'll leave him alone when you leave him alone. When you stop doing Jeff with the Met and you stop clowning people I'll stop clowning people too. How about that?

Would you like me to transfer anything over there? You got it. I don't know. How about that? Alright. Alright. Alright. What's today? Monday? That is the latest with Lauren. Yesterday is Monday. Charlotte May, who you giving your donkey to? Yesterday was Monday?

Today is Monday. I said Charlotte May, who you giving your donkey to? Yes, Steve Cusamano needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. He's from Florida. Alright, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. The craziest people in America. I really got a Bronx trot.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. We in the Bronx! We can just walk in the Bronx now! Y'all not shutting us down! We in the concourse with the cops! The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the folks. Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news? If I catch all ass in traffic, I'm with her, my genie eye.

Y'all will suck. It is just one of the many wacky news stories out of Florida. On The Breakfast Club. He's home, man. Yeah, it's donkey today for Monday, April 7th, goes to Steve Cusimano. Now, Steve is from Florida. What does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Okay there was a brother named James who

called up here from Florida this morning. Salute to James. Drop on the clue bomb for James. Happy birthday brother. He called up here this morning and told me to stop calling Florida crazy. Why you want me to stop calling Florida what they are? I don't wake up in the morning looking for ways to call Florida crazy, it happens on its own. For example, I woke up this morning and I saw a headline and the headline read, man arrested for battery of lemonade stand worker who denied him free refill.

I had to read it twice because I saw lemonade and free refill and my mind automatically went to Chick-fil-A. I don't know why, I just thought to myself, why wouldn't Chick-fil-A give them a free refill? But then I read it again and it said, man arrested for battery of lemonade stand worker who denied free refill. A lemonade stand?

You mean like a young little girl, a boy sitting there with homemade lemonade, selling it for a nickel? Probably $5 in this economy, but why would you expect the free refill at a lemonade stand? Let's go to the New York Daily News for the report please. A transient man was arrested for getting physical with a worker at a kid's lemonade stand in Florida when he was denied a free refill. Police in Clearwater claimed Stephen Cusimano came across the juice

stand being operated by children and the victim in a residential area around 7.30 p.m. Tuesday and purchased one beverage. He then became angry when he was not allowed to refill his cup. Cusimano, 45, is accused of then grabbing the victim's wrist while standing in a fighting stance and threatening to beat her up before fleeing on foot. Cops said the suspect admitted to the confrontation. I had to look up what transient man meant for a second. Explain it please. A person who was staying or working in a place

for only a short time. Just wanted to make sure. Just don't get it. They could have went somewhere else. I was confused. I thought he was going that way. Alright. Steve really thought the lemonade stand had a rewards program. Okay, imagine arguing over free refills with a young girl. It was a young girl. She's out here being an entrepreneur trying to raise some money for a Barbie Dream house and Steve

wants unlimited refills on lemonade like he's at Olive Garden. Okay, I want Steve to get beat up. We complicate in this life thing. Okay, no need to waste taxpayer dollars sending him to jail. Steve is 45. Let him square up with somebody who can kick his ass because this is nothing but bullying. First of all all the lemonade stand worker He was upset with is a woman like I just said a young girl And it says the age of the female victim isn't noted in the report

But if it's a lemonade stand, I'm gonna just assume the little girl is young Steve You're a 45 year old grown man get your hands off that girl and squabble up with somebody your own size old grown man. Get your hands off that girl and squabble up with somebody your own size. Okay what's crazy is we live in a world where Steve might get with some other people who didn't get a free refill and file a class-action lawsuit on behalf of 45 year old losers everywhere. And this is why I really don't like this story. This young girl was probably just hustling to get a new bike, a Roblox upgrade, maybe save up a couple of dollars to go see the new Minecraft movie. Great film by the way.

And here comes Steve, 45 years old, upset he couldn't get bottomless lemonade for 50 cents? This isn't Applebee Steve, you mad because life gave you lemons and this young girl is selling you what you should have turned those lemons into? You grabbed this young lady by the wrist? So says the report because you wanted a free refill on a cup of juice sold to you by someone who probably can't even spell refill yet? You probably wanted to leave this little girl a one-star yelp review. Okay no free refills wouldn't recommend. What's next? You

gonna go to a bake sale and raise hell because they didn't have no gluten-free brownies? Steve this isn't golden corral you are not at Red Lobster. This ain't bottomless pink lemonade. This is Sidewalk Economics. You gave her 50 cents. She gave you six ounces of diabetes. Transaction over. What was the joke Gail King quoted from Mateo Lane again? Don't you. Because that's all I keep thinking about at this moment. Can I say it? No. No. No. No. No. No.

Please, please get Steven Cusimano the biggest he-ha. Can I say it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Please, please get Steven Cusimano the biggest he-huh. This one over here, can I say it? Oh my goodness. Hey yo. Alright. He grabbed a damn hand, he grabbed shorty hand, know what I'm saying? Over with not getting a free refill of lemonade.

Some people just need to get beat up. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you for that donkey today. Mm-hmm Now let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one Do we have audio of Jess hilarious talking about how she met her fiance? No, he said it's coming in So the question is eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one both Jess hilarious and our producer Taylor they said that they made the first move when it came to talking to their men Oh shit what you say? Oh la? Period no I didn't cuz I didn't know he was Spanish yet Oh okay Shut up

So the question is 800-585-1051 ladies do you have an issue with shooting your shot at someone you're into or are you old fashioned be like I'm not shooting my shot if he ain't hollering at me first. We have the audio? Let's play the audio. I met him February 23rd, 2023. I was just finishing up a co-hosting day at Breakfast Club. This was a year before I got the position and I met him and he's a truck driver so he was on a stop and I went into a restaurant and I'm flirting with him and everything and he wasn't really paying me no mind. So I'm like, Did he know who you were? Yeah, he did. But he thought that, like he was like, I don't want to be a part of no roast battle. Like I don't even, that's the thing. People aren't intimidated. Guys are

intimidated by me because they feel like, you know, that's right. And so he just was like, oh god this girl No, so I'm drinking and everything and then we we talking I'm still picking with him I made him laugh and that's when I that's when he cracked and then he started engaging more and I didn't realize how drunk I was until I got up and went to the bathroom. I was like damn I'm drunk I gotta get out of here. So on my way back to the seat. He's like hey before I leave I wanted to know if I could take you out. Would you let me take you out? And I was like, oh now you want to know I'm all drunk So the question now you got a baby

That's right, what Taylor I want Taylor to tell her story. Let's make all the single ladies up here feel bad. Taylor, you come tell your story after the break. I had no idea Taylor did tell me.

OK. She did get something in her breath. She's six months pregnant. But me and him were looking at each other. And then I just went up to him and was like, so what's up? How are you? I'm good. That's fine.

And then we started talking. I think I asked him a random question. Like, oh, I asked him, all right, so a zombie breakout. What are we doing? A classic. A zombie breakout. What are we doing? You're excellent. Maybe we started talking about it was just a fun conversation in the icebreaker. And you were high. I'm sure. Absolutely high. If you asked about a zombie breakout, you definitely was high. Be very clear, I say this when I'm sober so then after that we talked for like four hours They're the word friend knowing those dumb. Oh Brooklyn When you ask about a zombie breakout, he don't run the other way and he's into it.

He thought it was funny. Yeah. That's love. I swear, I'd call Joe Clown. But I love it. I love that. Jethro Taylor out here shooting shots, scoring, okay? Meanwhile, y'all out here sitting back in the cut

Hey there, Ed Helms here, host of Snafu, your favorite podcast about history's greatest screw-ups. It's the 1920s, Prohibition is in full swing, and a lot of people are mysteriously dying? Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrand is becoming increasingly desperate in forcing Prohibition. She was a lone warrior.

I mean, how could Mabel not be feeling the pressure? Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent, even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences for drinking hurt a lot more. Which she does, arguably a little too well.

My husband cheated on me with two women. He wants to stay together because he has cancer. Should I stay?

Okay Sam, that has to be the craziest story in OK Storytime podcast history. Well, John, that's because it's dumpin week and this user writes, my partner told me when we first got together that he has cancer. He's currently living with his mom while he is in recovery so that it takes the pressure off me caring for both him and her baby until he's well enough to move into our new home with us. That's good so far.

Well, last week we had attempted break-in. I asked my husband who was supposed to be at his mom's to come over and change locks, but he wouldn't. Then his mom told me he wasn't with her. I went to Facebook and it took me less than an hour to find the first two women he was cheating on me with. Oh, what else is he lying about? Well, one thing my paranoia just wouldn't let up

was about the cancer in his treatments. I asked his mom about it, who told me he doesn't have cancer. She also informed me he was in rehab, not the hospital. He suffered from addiction and was trying to recover for me and our baby. Did she leave him? Well, to find out how the story ends, listen and follow the OK Storytime podcast

Oh, of course not. I always shoot my shot. Like, I think it builds up confidence. I've always, you know, with any guy that I find attractive, you know, I definitely don't have a problem

with shooting my shot. But I've learned over the years with shooting my shot, it doesn't be as successful in a dating realm as I want it to be. But yeah, I have no problem with shooting my shot. Now, the obvious question is what do you look like, man? Oh, stop it. Because you don't sound like you're

feeling good for saying you're too hot. First of all. Well, I am 5'7". I'm light skinned. I have my own hair. I am a teacher. You know, I cook. I have to note that you said your height without your weight.

Usually the weight follows the height ma'am Oh, I'm I'm I'm 180 so I'm kind of big. Okay, five seven one eighty. That's not bad. Yeah She medium I'm 185 and I'm six foot. Oh But you are currently single right now? Yes, currently single and currently dating. I'm just out here trying to have fun. How old are you? I just turned 35 on the 31st of March.

Okay, you got some time to keep shooting. Well, good luck, mama. Yes, I am very hopeful. I am a hopeless romantic. But just know, everybody not LeBron. I don't know how good you're going to be performing that for me. I don't need not LeBron. So you know how good you gonna be performing Find a LeBron what I said was everybody ain't LeBron so, you know you 35 everybody ain't gonna be scoring high at 40 is all I'm saying Yes, ma'am, good mama, thank you calling. Jesus Christ. Hello, who's this?

Tia from Queens. Hey Tia from Queens, what part of Queens? Laurelton. Laurelton, all right, Northside. So we're asking, you said you don't like to shoot your shot. No, I'm too afraid. You don't sound like you got the confidence to shoot your shot.

I mean, you know, in all actuality, I've done it, especially when I'm on the Patron, like I would pose the one of these. But when I'm sober, it's like, it's so scary to me. Like, to sort of be rejected. And then I never want to talk to someone, and they're like, oh, I can talk to you because, you know, I should be nice. Damn. So mean.

Now, Charlamagne, you could ask the same question you asked the lady before. I can kind of hear it. Listen, you from Queens? Yeah, and I'm getting a little cold. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Hell Clown, I'm sorry man. I didn't have a voice yesterday.

Because I did think to myself, like, you know, most women that feel like they're beautiful, and I'm not saying you're not, I'm just saying most women that feel like they're beautiful have no problem shooting their shot. They don't women feel like they're beautiful have no problem Shooting they shot they don't ever feel like they don't get rejected So I wonder what's making you feel like you're gonna get rejected I mean, I won't get rejected because in the past when I've approached people there, they're always up to it I just use a little gunshot. It's a little gunshot. Yeah All right, no man I was gonna say could be the type of guys that you are shooting your shot at.

Like, you might have got to change your type. Yes, so you know what, in the past I shot my shot at a guy and then I felt like he turned out to be totally crazy and I was like, I'm never doing that again. Oh, okay. I get it now. So you traumatized. All right. Yeah.

All right, thank you, Tasia. Taya. Thank you. Tia. Tia, I'm sorry, Tia. thank you Tasia. Ateya. Thank you. Tia. I'm sorry Tia. Have a good one. It's okay.

Like, what was that? I have no idea. I don't know why. I don't know who the hell made that up. I've always been a type. If I see something, I'm going to go get it.

And what's the worst that can happen? God just say, no, that's it. I might not be as tight, but I'm going to take that chance. And I guarantee you most men are more afraid to approach women. Mm-hmm. Of course. Yes. Men.

Trust me, men are just as scared of rejection. Yeah. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, y'all. This is Shug. How you guys doing this morning? Hey, of rejection. Yeah. Hello. Who's this? Oh, yeah, you should shoot I got you. I feel you. I feel you. So you're not scared to shoot your shot? That's still shooting your shot.

Flirting is shooting your shot. It still is. Not necessarily so because I am a very reserved person. I'm not going to say too much. I kind of leave it up to the guy because I feel like they should be the leader. You know what I'm saying? But again, like if he's smelling good, looking good, something that's going to really pull my eye, I'm going to slap out.

I'm like, you smell real good. You know, something that's complimentary to get his attention. But again, nobody's going to be like, I'm going to slap out. I'm going to slap out. I'm going to slap out. I'm going to slap out. I'm going to slap out. I'm going to slap out.

I'm going to slap out. I'm going to slap out. I'm going pull my eye, I'ma slide by him, I'm like, you smell real good. You know, something that's complimentary to get his attention, but again, nobody wants to be rejected, so if he might just be in a place, he's just chilling and don't wanna be bothered. So I'm a discernment person. If I pick up on that, I gotta slide.

Well, shoot, Chris ain't wanna be bothering, I kept bothering him, and then look, yeah, all right, hmm. You sure he wasn't playing hard to get, though? He probably could've been, but by that time time i was so drunk i i gave up but and when i gave up and came back then that's when he was like i want to take you out i'm like yeah i bet you do yeah you stopped paying him some attention yeah yeah just a little bit i was going hard and then yeah okay thank you let me leave that restaurant until we got this number. Smart man. Now question, why did you call you Sugar?

Welcome back to the show with you guys this morning. I wish you guys the longevity that God sends. Y'all have a blessed day. Wait, wait, why did you call you Sugar? Thank you very much, thank you, we received it. Cause I'm sweet. Cause you- I'm like a sour patch kid, but in reverse, I'm sweet first

That's why I was like, ah, yeah. She got a bed? Yeah, no, no. Oh. No. Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Tia. Hey, Tia, good morning.

Hey, Tia. So I don't think there's anything wrong with someone shooting a shot. Not a woman, no, why not? Go for it. I wouldn't be mad right anything wrong with someone shooting a shot. Not a woman. Now why not? Go for it. I wouldn't be mad right now if I had not done that. So my story basically is I was married previously and Cam, my current husband, was a friend

of mine. Well, he became a friend through a mutual friend. And he used to try to talk to me every now and again. We had an attraction, but obviously nothing really happened because I was already married. However, I did separate from my husband and I went to a birthday party and my friend said, oh, he was supposed to be here.

And I said, well, why didn't he come? And she said, I don't know. So I got his number from her while we were at the party and I called him and I said, how come you didn't come to this fight party? He said, I didn't know you were going to be there. I said, well, I'm here, what's up, pull up. And he came and he was all the way out on Long Island

and we were in the Bronx. And it was like two o'clock in the morning. He came, pulled up, took us out to Brussels and the rest is history and we're married now we've been married for three years and I couldn't ask for a better spouse. I love this man. There we it and this is a great example of closed mouths don't get fed. That's right. There you go.

Well thank you Tia. Thank you. You guys have a great day. You too now. Now what's the moral of the story? You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Yep there you go. But thank you Tia. Thank you. You guys have a great day. You too now. Now what's the moral of the story? You miss 100% of the shots you don't take? Yep, there you go. And I don't wanna hear nothing from none of you single girls,

Patient praying and prideful cuz a lot of women ego they they don't like that They don't want to shoot this shot cuz they like no, I wish I would I wish I'm not ready to do that Uh-uh, it's a man's job to shoot the shot. No, not all the time. That's why we got the WNBA too shoot the shot. No, not all the time. That's why we got WNBA too. That's right. And sometimes, man, if we're being honest, you're sitting back and it'd be the most cosmetically challenged looking girl waiting for somebody to talk to him. Yes.

was getting it he was gonna slap one of them no I think they didn't want work with him because at the time everybody was like oh he slapped like it was like such a thing but I wonder if it was because of the slap or was it that you know well has been relevant musically in a right right I don't want to tell him that I don't want to get on his record because he ain't relevant music But I think it was just slap But you just put somebody who shot somebody True, facts Y'all think they Nick Cannon on?

Damn! You said what? What? People don't be, people be trying to say I said y'all think that they Nick Cannon'd him Damn! You better not compare Nick Cannon to Will Smith musically Are you crazy?

No, she's asking I get what you're saying. What I'm saying is that people always try to make Nick Cannon's music a joke and y'all just said. It is though. You are so mean. And y'all just said that Will Smith, were people not trying to work with him because of the Oscar slapper, because he wasn't relevant musically. So I'm saying that they basically weren't taking him seriously musically.

Yeah, you can't, but to but to envy's point you shouldn't compare will Smith crazy like Will Smith got a lot of so 75 million records worldwide the way that the has been coming through in here these last couple days y'all know what I meant no we don't you just heard you saying they can't it was wacky I didn't feel like he deserved that either. She would not say he was wack. Will has four Grammys. You better leave Will alone. I don't know why you're shooting at all these people this morning, but damn. You done? Are you finished?

I'm finished. I just don't understand how you compared it to. Name two Nick Cannon joints. Two? He only got a low and um... What'd you say? Jigalow and what else? You said Jigalow? He said that twice, okay. What's the other one?

Wildin'. Wildin'. What's the other one? Wildin', Wildin'. That's the hottest song. But Will Smith also talks about, I don't know if this answers the question, it probably doesn't, but he was saying that he also took some time away because he didn't want to hear what people had to say and then he came back and he was having to interact with these people who had issues and he didn't even know. Let's take a listen to him on the Charlie Mack story. I didn't look at anything that anybody said.

I literally shut it down. I was like, I don't want to know nothing that nobody said. I might have had five months where I didn't even look at, you know, Instagram or nothing like this. Like people that went hard right but I literally don't know and me and Charlie was out the other night Charlie Mack me and Charlie yeah and somebody somebody walked in that had had gone hard and I was like hey no no no no no Nope, nope, nope. Don't say that. Don't say, nope, not that one. What? What? We listening for the latest. You all right?

Yeah. Okay, cause the un-brigade thing been coming in. But yeah, so basically, Will Smith had to take some time away. When he came back, things was weird. Yeah, I don't remember him taking no time away. That's what I was thinking about. He took a couple of months away.

I feel like he did. He popped out. Just in general. I feel like I always saw him on social media. Yeah. And he was quiet for a while, then he popped up in like Bali and one he popped out. Just in general, I feel like I always saw him on social media. Now he was quiet for a while, then he popped up in like Bali and one of those places. Yup, and then he went to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Peacock premiere, but like I think he like, remember it was like he either he did or he didn't want to walk the red carpet because he didn't want to take away the show.

It was something like that where he didn't go. It was one of those things where like around that time he was trying to take some time off. I feel like Will gotta say some names though. You gotta tell me the people that didn't want to be on the album. Tell me who walked in the party. I'm sure there's a bunch of people talking this shit and when you see him years later, it's like, what's up Will? Nah, you was the same guy that said this. That's what this industry's about. Did we say something? Because Will ain't pop up for album. Did we say something? I can't remember. I actually, I think he should come here to promote the album for sure. Album gonna be lit though. It's already out. It's out. I actually think he should come here to promote the album for sure I'm gonna be lit though. It's already out

Be some old is actually on now. Yes. Yeah, I seen on her page that she okay. That's what she doing That's what's up, well, we know beating them you try to make it seem like he said no be small now I did want to mention before we got out here cuz I said last hour that we were gonna be watching CBS morning is to see If gail king yes, you did gail dirty to shit first of all she said nothing She has said nothing so far. The program is on until 9 so it ends in a few literally momentarily. For people that don't know, tell them what happened. So for people who don't know, Gail King sat down in an interview with Matteo Lane. Comedian.

Openly gay comedian. In the interview she quoted one of his jokes and she used the F-bomb when she quoted it with the tree at the end, but she used the F-bomb so people were really upset about it. Now the comedian laughed, he carried on business as usual, but people were upset. But she didn't just quote, she quote and she asked a question. She said, what does this mean? She asked the comedian that said the joke, what the joke meant. But she quoted the joke with the word and that's what people were upset about. She didn't just say the word, open blatantly like the audio that we played

in here just in case you remember. Don't use that word. If you're just saying one joke, I hope I don't get in trouble. But I don't care about it. We do a riff about white women. Yes. Approached you and they said something about cooking and you said, what in the f**k a tree are you talking about?
