No, I'm really black but I'm asking because people usually have off that Monday, but if they're not giving federal workers off that Monday, then we can't have a party on Sunday, we gotta have it on Saturday.

Let's hear more from President Trump. Whatever they charge us, we're charging them. So it works out very well. It's a very, it's a beautiful simple system and we don't have to worry about you charging too much or too little. Traditionally, India is right at the top of the pack pretty much. There are a couple of smaller countries that are actually more, but India is a very, very they they charge tremendous tariffs
Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah, I don't know if y'all heard about it But you know today he put tariffs on chocolate flowers hotel rooms restaurants that are four star more hallmark cars that got hearts on them Yes Yes, today, this morning. Just because you don't want to go do nothing. Don't mean you got to mess it up for everybody else. I'm just telling you what Trump did. No, don't do that. Trump said that other countries will want to have their companies in the US.
Starting point is 00:10:52 The president said prices for some things could go up, but ultimately will come down. Now Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick said the tariffs could go in effect by the beginning of April. Okay, Charmaine? Oh my God, he just put tariffs on teddy bears. It just came through on Teddy bears too. Now. This is crazy. Oh my gosh. And of course all of this comes as the consumer price index report did go up inflation year over year went up 3% in January.

And I just had this realization that he will not stop until he kills me. Getting a con artist to pay for their crimes isn't easy. Charge David Blum! I'm Caroline DeMore.

Grammy wins after the Super Bowl Drake is not slow we not gonna see it was like a shot being like me there's more so listen to this this is off of song called Brian still you know Brian still is a young thugs attorney let's take a listen to him talking about putting the beef aside. Did you just yawn? I was yawning when I was listening to it riding in the work this morning. So he's referencing the tweet when Young Thug tweeted at Drake Future at Metro and said yo we are brothers music ain't the same without us we need to collab but if y'all need to wake up I got some songs. There was another part where he said he don't care
Starting point is 00:27:23 about the you don't care about rap beef he too busy trying to get the party exactly and he dropped some there are some records on here for the party one of my favorite Nokia now let's take a listen to this song yo Jess I'm not the zoom in on your face right now I know party so mad party gotta be like man you waited all this time to do this album with me and this the best we got and that's the thing for me I feel like this was more of a Drake album than a party next door album even though there are some sexy songs on here Drake definitely dominated this album yeah absolutely right Lauren I don't feel party on this album at all I
Starting point is 00:27:53 only got the track 11 but I don't feel party on this album at all you know I'm saying I've never been a fan of Drake singing I do like party but something about what I've heard on this project thus far it just feels manufactured it lacks soul it's like it's like AI and B Yeah, but I would say maybe it's not for you because he does it for his core You don't like Drake regardless you don't like You don't like when he walks you don't like drink when he talks you don't like drink when he gets a haircut You just don't like Drake and that's fine. That's not for you, but these are for his core fans
Starting point is 00:28:24 We're talking about like I like rapper Drake. you just don't like Drake and that's fine that's not for you but these are for his core fans I like rapper Drake you just don't like if Drake put out the best record ever. I'm a fan of Drake I will say this was when I heard it I said oh this is this is the old Drake party Drake the good Drake but it doesn't hit like the whole wave of Kendrick we just heard and I hate to have to compare him to that and I think that's what's happening right now. But it's a good project though. It don't even hit like his old drinks. It's definitely not a party, it's like a seed subsidiary on this album. But listen though, it ain't even a boat. It don't even hit, take Kendrick out of it.
Starting point is 00:28:55 It don't even hit like old drinks. What are you talking about? No, y'all gotta listen to this in whole from start to finish, not here on air. I listened to it twice and it's actually good. The Nokia record is good. The Demetri Padres with Chino, I was confused about that. He's like rapping in Spanish, but Glorious, he gives like an ode to like Ice Spice and Sexy Drew. That was for the club. I'm just not comparing. I'm definitely not comparing it to Kenny. To just the point,
Starting point is 00:29:18 I'm comparing it to the older Drake. I've heard better Drake R&B or better Drake singing. This ain't- You thought you was getting mixed tape Drizzy We're so far from oh Never like no to drink has always true Drinks been spiritual Drake for a long time and that's what we got right now exactly what it's for Sure, Drake is where we've been at for a minute this is a man you're fast shit It feels like a I and B. There's no soul to you know, maybe we have some of the songs That's that's better than we should have played them and I tell you what?
Starting point is 00:29:44 Yeah, no key is a vibe y'all y'all are I tell you nothing Drake and Joe got a squabble to by the way, okay I love Drake and Joe got a squad this generation different You don't invite me into your genitals to tell me they suck the genitals unless you want to fight kill or suck something You call them in a D sucker Day Yeah, I need to go listen to Nokia after this album.

Let's get in some front page news Now some quick sports. This is all-star Weekend, so they got a bunch of things lined up. Tonight is the Celebrity Game. Saturday is the HBCU game, Morehouse vs. Keegie, and of course the All-Star game goes down on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:30:55 What's up, Morgan? What's up? It's Valentine's Day. Are y'all in the mood for love or not? Absolutely. I guess, yeah, sure. Let's do it. Yo, you, hey, dude, I'm not gonna say I'm a Charlamagne Love or no? Absolutely. I guess. Yeah, sure. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Yo, you. Hey, you know, I'm not gonna see the Charlamagne this morning. I just can't. Let me try to get through this news, okay? We gonna love all the news. President Trump met with Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi at the White House yesterday in a press conference after the meeting. He praised the relationship between India and said, and the U.S. and said they will begin
Starting point is 00:31:13 or we, the U.S. will begin selling military equipment to India. The gag is though the prime minister's visit also fired up the U.S. military. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone.
Starting point is 00:31:21 The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U.S. is now in the middle of the war zone. The U. begin, or we, the US will begin selling military equipment to India. The gag is though, the prime minister's visit also follows a controversial US deportation flight earlier this month that saw over a hundred Indian migrants returned to their home country.
Starting point is 00:31:38 In other foreign affairs, President Trump says Ukraine will be involved in peace talks to end the war, but there will be a separate line of communication between the US and Russia. He made those comments yesterday from the Oval Office. Let's take a listen to Trump's comments on the Ukrainian-Russian war. They're part of it. We would have Ukraine, we would have Russia, and we'll have other people involved too. A lot of people, a lot of forks in this game, I'll tell you what. This is a very interesting situation, but the Ukraine war has to end.
Starting point is 00:32:09 The young people are being killed at levels that nobody's seen since World War II. And it's a ridiculous war. And it has said we had a good talk with President Putin, well, I had a good talk with President Zelensky, very good talk. So a spokesman for the Kremlin said it could take a few months to set up a meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He signaled such a meeting might take place in Saudi Arabia in the capital city of Riyadh. This comes after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told allies the administration does
Starting point is 00:32:38 not support NATO membership for Ukraine and a return to the country's pre-war borders is unlikely. So they are going to have to move forward. We're basically not going back to how things were. Meanwhile, the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas appears to be back on course after the militant group said it will release Israeli hostages this weekend as previously planned. Remember, there is a 12 p.m. deadline. Israel and Hamas were disputing over the Gaza ceasefire
Starting point is 00:33:06 deal as Israeli officials declined to confirm if they will abide by the ceasefire terms even if Hamas releases the hostages. So Hamas has postponed the planned release after it accused Israel of violating the troops by not allowing aid supplies to enter the war-torn region. But as of right now, it does seem like the ceasefire agreement is still on and the hostages are on schedule to be released. Now whether or not how Israel reacts to that remains to be determined. In other news, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he is now the new head of the Department of Health and Human Services. He was sworn in yesterday afternoon in the Oval Office as President Trump watched. The Senate voted 52 to 48. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell was the only Republican to vote against Kennedy.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Democrats pointed to past comments made by Kennedy Jr. related to his reported criticism of vaccines and as their reason why they chose not to support him. Now, R.F.K. Jr. was interviewed by Fox News last night where he said the U.S. spends heavy on health care despite being a vast sick population. Let's hear more from R.F.K. Jr. What we're going to do is give people good science. We don't have good safety studies on almost any of the vaccines. We spend two to three times what other countries pay for
Starting point is 00:34:20 health care and we have the worst health outcomes. We literally have the sickest population in the world. So Kennedy Jr. said he aims to refocus US health priorities away from infectious diseases. He's also talked about getting rid of ultra processed foods. I mean, I do have thoughts on that because you know, that is one thing that I will say, even when you look at the Department of Education, they do spend so much money on education in this country, so much money on health care in this country, but we don't have great either. Like we don't have we don't have the best health care system. Or we don't have the best education system. So there is there is something to that when I when I'm like, damn, they do
Starting point is 00:34:58 dump a lot of money in those things. But things aren't getting better. So is the money actually going to those things? Do you feel like a shock to the system which is what I believe is happening now is probably what's necessary? I don't know if what they're doing is the remedy. I'm just simply saying when somebody raises the question or says hey why are we spending so much money in these areas but these areas aren't the best you know are some of the best in the world. It is that that is a valid criticism.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I don't know about shocking, I don't know about taking the money away, but finding different ways to allocate the money. Cause like Charlamagne said, if we're not the best in education and the best in healthcare around the world, if we're spending the most, there's a problem somewhere. Like I even was looking at about how, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:38 here in New York, the feds just rescinded $80 million to New York City for migrants. And in my mind, I'm like, damn, he spent, they spent $ million dollars I mean it's this was just like a one-time payment but they spent 80 million dollars on these migrants but it's still such a migrant issue so what is that money going to? That's all I'd be wanting to know where's the money going to? Yeah well I guess that's what DOGE is for. So bringing things to you guys in New York
Starting point is 00:36:01 the top federal prosecutor and Mayor Adams' corruption case. Did you hear that she's resigning? So rather than follow Justice Department orders to drop charges, Danielle Sassoon fired off a brief letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that she's resigned effective immediately. Now multiple sources say she did not mention that Adams' case, Sassoon's departure comes days after DOJ directed New York prosecutors to drop the case against the New York City mayor, who is accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions, bribes from other people, bribes from people trying to buy his influence, including Turkish officials.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Now, Adams repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. He also cleared up whether or not he was switching political party lines, saying that he will be collecting petitions as a Democrat. And of course, this comes as Adams met with the border czar Tom Homan. New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the two had a clear understanding of how they can work together. Adam says Homan assured him that ICE agents wouldn't go into sensitive locations like schools. Let's hear more from New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He's very clear that in order to go into those entities,
Starting point is 00:37:10 you need a judicial warrant. And he has not articulated to me, he wants to go into our schools. There's no desire to round up our children. My message to him and what I got from him, Eric, there are dangerous people on our streets in this country in general, but specifically here in New York City, we want to work with you to get them off your
Starting point is 00:37:30 streets. Yes. So the mayor also reiterated that he would allow ICE to operate on Rikers Island to target violent criminals. And Homan wants to work with him to get the, of course, as previously mentioned, the dangerous people off the New York City streets. Now the meeting- But doesn't Eric Adams have to do what Trump says?
Starting point is 00:37:45 Because he has him kind of dangling. Because if he doesn't listen to Trump, Trump can relift the order and they can prosecute him. Is that correct? Because he didn't get a pardon. No, he did not get a pardon. But if the charges are going to be dismissed, then they're going to be dismissed. Can you bring back charges?
Starting point is 00:38:00 His lawyer said, Alex Spiro said yesterday that once the charges are dismissed, they can't be brought back up So I'm not sure if the meeting does come days after the Department of Justice, of course As as mentioned, you know You know what else I wanted to know Morgan when the Department of Justice sues New York over sanctuary obstruction Who are they suing exactly when you say you sue New York is that the governor? I mean, I mean is that uh, I don't know who he's suing. Yes. So when DOJ is taking legal action against New York, that would be Governor Kathy Hoco. I do see that the Department of Justice is actually suing New York State over its efforts
Starting point is 00:38:36 not to support Trump's immigration policies. So Attorney General Pam Bondi said that DOJ is taking legal action against New York Governor Kathy Hockel and other state officials over New York's alleged resistance to supporting Trump's mass deportation policy regarding illegal migrants. Now Bondi pointed out New York's Green Light Law, which she claims keeps state law enforcement from sharing vehicle data with federal authorities for immigration enforcement. Now state attorney general Letitia James says New York's laws protect all New Yorkers and she's prepared to battle that in a lawsuit in court. So it's basically Coco and James versus DOJ and Bondi.

You know I think it was probably the best situation to do because it's like bringing back the vibes of like Flavor of Love and you know those shows like
Starting point is 00:48:59 I Love New York and this time because nobody in this generation has seen that. I grew up watching that type of stuff you know and that is really what I wanted to bring that vibe of like alright if Flava Flav can find love. Flava Flav? What are you saying Drew? No I'm not saying that I just met the dude he's he still look the same but I'm just. He's such a nice person. Yeah he's a good yeah nice person. Now when a girl say you a nice person. Yeah, he's a good, yeah, nice person. Now, when a girl say you a nice person, what that mean, bro? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What that mean? No, he's a good dude.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Nah, all jokes aside, he's a good guy. But, if Flavor Flav can find love on television, I was like, all right, let me just go with his motto. It makes sense, though. So what are you looking for? What type of woman? Like, what's... We got a lot of women that was in the house. Meatball is on there. Yeah, Meatball. That's what you think looking for it or what type of woman like what we got a lot of women that was in
Starting point is 00:49:45 The house is on there. Yeah meatball Say we got the trench babies in there, you know, so I wanted a selection of all I have white black Latino BBW yeah, we got well, he's not a contestant But he is he did help me find love. We had Bobby Althoff. She was helping us find love. Kayla Presley. Dr. Umar kicked all the white girls off immediately.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Yes. Young and May also was helping us as well. Yeah. But yeah, Dr. Umar, he wasn't with all the, you know, he was straight pro Afro American. And he let them know. Like he was asking some of the Latino girls He's like do you see yourself as afro Latino or just look at and I'm like what the fuck does that mean?
Starting point is 00:50:30 It doesn't make sense what he's saying. It's like what is afro Latino? He's like do you believe you you are afro? Latino it didn't yeah, he's he's a what made you go get dog do more. I mean dog do more fantastic Yes, yes, you can get him for this in particular I wanted to see what girls were in it for the money and I wanted to see what girls were in it, honestly, to be with a king. And he knows all about a king situation, like how could you uplift his empire?
Starting point is 00:50:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was one of the things he preached on in the show, but he got a little, we had to get him off set. He kinda, yeah, he started. He went crazy? Well, he, yeah. He scared all the white women? Yeah, he was actually scaring the women on the show but he got a little we had to get him offset he kind of crazy well he was he was actually scaring the women on the show we got him offset Jesus yeah it got bad as a joker he released no no no I think he um he got into his bag of like he started arguing one of the white girls he's really like that you know
Starting point is 00:51:21 episode three or four, I think. You'll see. So this is serious, like you were really looking for love on the show. Oh, no, it was serious, yeah. In the teaser that you posted on your Instagram, you lean a lot into the whole Ruby Rose. People thought that was fake situations, so I didn't know if this show was like you really looking for love or it's another gimmick situation. Nah, we just wanted to make it like, feel like, yo, like, this stuff was covered on TMZ and all these pages we might as well look for love if this is what's going on it's like yo this year for some reason my love life
Starting point is 00:51:52 has mattered the most so it's like all right why wouldn't we do a show that's kind of what we wanted to show like all right this is kind of almost makes sense to do right now in a comedic way of course but you said for some reason you was in the back of the boat kissing Ruby Rose that's why we care I mean yeah no I'm not saying for some reason I'm just saying it just was you know that's what this year consists I've never really been public no I didn't well I didn't she did yeah she you know you said you paid for PR not Jesus hey that's neither here nor there brother I just you know I just go with the flow I let people talk man I don't love her. Um, love is a strong word. Did you like her? Yes. I did I did break your heart. Um, nah, I don't think at all
Starting point is 00:52:32 I think yeah, I think it might have just been my fault There's some things that that transpired in the midst of all the you know, that boy You cry, uh, no, no, no, we wouldn't in that deep But this that's why I said it wouldn't love it wasn't at that point know. Did you cry? No, no, no. We wasn't in that deep. That's why I said it wasn't love. It wasn't at that point yet. But you went public with her, which was a big deal. I think that's why we all thought it was fake because we were like, we've never like...
Starting point is 00:52:53 You know what it was though? It was probably because we grew up around like the same area. So it was kind of like naturally eventually maybe going to happen. You know what I mean? Like it was like because of friends and like other people around her camp being with people around my camp, we always would see each other. So it was like always like a blow by situation. So it was like, ah, maybe, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:15 But then sometimes I ain't got no money yet. Nah, I ain't. You ain't got no money. But that was at the time. No, I'm saying at the time. You were lying to her telling her you ain't got no money. No, no, no. I'm talking about back then.
Starting point is 00:53:23 I'm saying like, well, we grew up in the same area. So I was like, oh, she always wanted her, but you knew you couldn't get her. Well, I ain't say that either, but I'm just saying it time. You were lying to her telling her you ain't got no money? No, no, no. I'm talking about back then. I'm saying like, well, we grew up in the same area. So I was like, oh. You always wanted her, but you knew you couldn't get her. Well, I ain't say that either, but I'm just saying, it's like, ah, but I might, I might. I don't know. But that's when it transpired. Did you buy a juice when you were together?
Starting point is 00:53:35 No, I don't think I bought no, no, I did. I did like some flowers, but it was only like a couple of weeks. It just. Wait, your whole relationship with her? Yeah, it might've been like, I don't know Tuesday two three weeks you went public after two three weeks hey I was wow yeah yeah no I wasn't on that just what you know what it is it's because I thought like all right this what we supposed to
Starting point is 00:53:56 do I'm thinking like oh we both in the public eye this is this is what's supposed to happen like no ahead of it before it happens type of thing no not even before it happens it's like I was like, I mean, somebody's going to leak it at some point. We're going out in public and doing stuff. Might as well. Might not. You know, like it might as well. So I don't think it was a bad situation to go public. I just think it might have just been a little too early. Like we're going public.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I do believe you can do it too early before y'all get to adjust. And like, just like how you can move in with a Female too early segue I think anything that you do like revolve it like involving you and like it look people just be making jokes You posted a photo about you getting ready for the NBA All-Star game See that that's what it is. Sometimes, that's why I say you can't, some goofy girls, they be like,
Starting point is 00:54:48 oh my God, I'm made for you. Like you have no idea how funny I am. And I'm like, I have no, you have no idea I would never date you. You know what I'm saying? Just because it's like sometimes you don't want a girl that played too much. Some of those girls that played too much
Starting point is 00:55:01 just go too far too. Like I have had a situation where a girl you know I'm saying kind of like where you you said in that setting in the in the bedroom and she was like damn you got a got between your legs and she wasn't talking about I thought I was like what that mean she said my thighs was making it look like a gap yo like they touch oh like they spelled the word got Yeah, a gap yeah, but that's a gap Yeah, like a gap there. Oh my god. Damn like a thighs. Hey man, we're not here to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:55:46 I'm just telling you what she said. So that's why I say to say, sometimes it ain't good to date a girl as goofy. They do too much. And I went from up to downtown real fast. That might not have been goofy, that's just an observation. No, it's just, hey, it's like, shut up. What did you say? It's like shut up. No, it's just a like
Starting point is 00:56:11 Yeah, it's like come on now don't say that right now cuz a girl that's goofy always dates a dude That's like quiet kind of chill if you ever noticed it. It's not that you can't handle it sometimes Man, it's too much. She told you your thighs rub together now you said she said the gap it was cool She would have said thousand to get but she said you make a gap I'm like you wear your clothes when you have sex I can tell you. What you say? You wear your clothes when you have sex. Me or her? First of all.

Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds. But what if there's something else, something much more ominous that appears under the cover of night?

They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they?

Starting point is 00:59:29 Blum generally targeted people with money. And I was not alone. He took over 100 people for over $15 million. One of the victims was his own grandmother. I was married to David for almost 10 years. It was insane. I was barely functioning David for almost 10 years. It was insane. I was barely functioning.

All right, we got more with Drewski when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Good morning everybody, we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Drewski, Charlamagne. Question, you, Kai and Kev.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Mm-hmm. We know we wanna see the movie. Mm-hmm. Is there actual talks happening? Yes, yes. He just called us last night, spazzing on us. He is Kevin Hart? Yeah, he is in Kevin Hart.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Just letting us know, he was like? Yeah he is in Kevin Hart. Just letting us know he was like guys get serious about this because he gave us a list of movies to watch to study. He wanted us to I guess I watched some of the movies but Kai didn't so he was like listen man it's not like you got to do y'all ain't doing. He said what movies you got set up for this year? And we both just I said come on Kev don't do that to us man don't but he honestly was just he's it's like hard parenting. You know, I mean, he's like letting us know, like, yo, lock in because this is like I'm trying to get you to that next level of thinking like, all right, if I'm telling you to study this or do this or study the script or look at this movie,
Starting point is 01:02:16 that definitely is something you should do because this is going to benefit your future. So, you know, he just was taking it hard on us. But yeah, I think we have a bunch of meetings set up right now to where we'll be shooting very soon. I don't know exactly the month, but it will be this year. We'll start shooting. Have you seen the script?
Starting point is 01:02:32 I've seen part of the script at the beginning of it. It's at the beginning stages to where they're like in a writing room right now. So writing room means like multiple different writers are like punching up jokes on it. And then also all of us have like a say-so on what's being written So I do like that Kev does that for y'all because there is another level I know that you and Kai making a whole lot of money, but there is another level to all of it
Starting point is 01:02:53 Yeah, he's like, yo, you guys are you guys are lit But you know if you want to be the man forever or you know, just superstar This is the type of stuff you got to do So he's just giving that that firm parenting of like take this serious Like I understand y'all. Yeah saying oh, I'm busy I'm serious guys what movies you got set up a project X style movie was that one of the movies he asked y'all to watch No, I don't want to say because then that'll give off our idea of whatever we're shooting. Who told you Project X style?
Starting point is 01:03:26 It's for your life. That's just common sense. A Project X style movie with you, Drew Ski, Kev, Kai can be on stream. You said Drew Ski. That is Drew Ski, sir. You know what I mean. Yes, you're right. Drew Ski, Kev, and Kai. We've been doing this all the time.
Starting point is 01:03:40 With you, Kev, and Kai. Yeah. And literally Kai can be on stream the whole movie. And as he screams, thev and Kai, and literally Kai can be on Scream the whole movie. And as he screams, the scream gets bigger, but the party keeps getting bigger and bigger at the house. I will say that this movie will be amazing. Whatever we do. I don't know the specifics all the way through yet.
Starting point is 01:03:58 We still in the writer room. So yeah, Kev is honestly being like the father figure and setting all this up. So yeah, and he really is like locked in. Amongst all the other stuff he's got going on as well, like he's really, he's locked in right now. Listen, it's right there. I looked at Kiki Palmer and Scissors, their movie is at $40 million, the one that Eastern Raver do.
Starting point is 01:04:19 I feel like y'all can do that or even more. Easily. I agree, I agree. You know what I mean? And it's not gonna cost a lot to shoot a movie with you. Like y'all like that, yeah, that's the next level. I agree. This weekend you're gonna be
Starting point is 01:04:30 at the NBA celebrity All-Star game. Can you play, can you play ball? I've been training. I've been training with a trainer from OTE over time.

Yeah, I'm trying to win MVP He's trained like Bradley Beal, amongst other NBA players and stuff, so. Corey Fraser. Huh? Like you really trying to go out there and win MVP as well?
Starting point is 01:04:47 Yeah, I'm trying to win MVP, because of course I'm gonna be entertaining and wilding out and stuff, but you gotta put up some points to get to MVP. Is Gilley in the game? Uh, no, I don't think. Oh, they f***ed it. If Gilley was in the game, he'd win an MVP.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah, NBA just gotta do better on the rosters, man. They gotta, I think they just should bring a little bit more of like our world into it. NFL did a good job this past weekend. With the flag football? Yeah, yeah. They had like me, Lotto, Sexy Red, Kai, Speed. They just had, they had like people that,

Starting point is 01:05:49 some of the names I think I'm probably gonna run point you need to be playing center hey listen and cause I want y'all will see after I win MVP that I am at the guard position. You're not playing guard. You're definitely not playing guard. You're not playing guard. Somebody online said I'm playing the wrong guard position. They said it's for football.

So yeah, it could have been love. Let's do it We appreciate you for joining. Yeah, follow if you're not already, but who is it? It's the breakfast club good morning. Morning everybody is DJ envy, Charlamagne, the guy we are at the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess. On the Breakfast Club, she was able to get y'all to see something and understand something
Starting point is 01:07:26 that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it on. So the February 13th event didn't go down? The big meet. Lauren, the welcome back. Welcome back. Yeah, it was a welcome back party. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 01:07:40 What happened? Like, oh my God, no, they canceled it. Oh my God, no, you sound so concerned Honestly is given don't play with 50 cents. So yesterday um, the amaranth bake bank arena where the the Party was supposed to go down there concert supposed to go down that posted and said due to unforeseen circumstances tonight show has been cancelled Refunds will be made at point of purchase Of course, you know 50 cent posted this with
Starting point is 01:08:05 the quickness. He captioned it and said, I had nothing to do with this. Please stop calling my phone. I sincerely hope you have a nice day today. Happy Valentine's Day. I'm stronger than you think I am with the smiley face. Jesus. Yes. Now, we talked about how like there have been reports that some of the artists and stuff were pulling out but I heard something about ticket sales not being where they needed to be as well, too What you mean? I heard that they only sold 900 tickets How long I mean how big is the venue 14,000 people damn and it sold 900 tickets. That's what I was told I don't know if that's true or not
Starting point is 01:08:38 which is crazy to me though because if it is ticket sales or even if it's the other stuff because 50 was saying that Artists were pulling out because of all the Allegations that he's throwing me to his way right now People were so high for me should come home and then now which is done. Yeah, right It's like I felt like that was like one of the most talked about things like Wonder why they didn't do it in like Atlanta or Detroit You know, I mean let it let Hannah Kang put her her hands on that thing in Atlanta, you know And then they from Detroit, right?
Starting point is 01:09:05 Yeah, they from Detroit, but I also think he lives in Miami So I think he's a you know, he can't leave Miami's in the house of us I got you would have to be in a city that he lives in and Ross Ross was posting stuff like if you had tickets to the show already you could show proof that you had tickets to the show I forget what club they were going to but he was saying like if you came with the tickets like they would they would do Something on the entry or something like that So they were trying to basically still make it up to the people who had already purchased their tickets. But yeah, that is a wrap That's crazy, you know by come on say nothing like big me slow beach. No, not yet big me slow me
Starting point is 01:09:40 Not yet, okay Not yet. Okay. All right. What else we got going on? I know. Jesus. What else we got going on? Kanye West, the divorce. So remember we were talking about how- We might go away. Yeah. So the chicken wing, him and Bianca Sensori, we were talking about this, how there are reports right now that him and his new muse are on their way to a divorce. According to Daily Mail, they have split and they are citing a source close to Kanye. Now, this source says that both people have reached like a good place with their divorce attorney.
Starting point is 01:10:14 So if true, it's something that's been in the works for a while. I will say that Milo or Milo that works with Kanye West has come out and said that this is not true. And before there were reports that remember they had split and they had broken up and then we seen them in Tokyo together laughing joking having a good time. So I don't know what's true or not. But I think right now everybody just reaching for a Kanye story because he's been there
Starting point is 01:10:36 girl is sick of being cold. Bianca sensory especially in the winter you want me show up everywhere naked like no socks no nothing like I'm cold And what we see in her dance, she's trying to keep warm Happy though when she with them, but I mean I guess she's supposed to But where they getting this information from cuz every time they say they split or there's a promise There's a divorce somebody from Kanye's team says it's a lie. So people just making this up and people running with stories I'm not for sure but I reached out to someone close to the rapper and their response to me was why you keep believing in stuff
Starting point is 01:11:11 That's what consequence is what you're not supposed to and it was not consequence that I spoke to I don't talk to consequence. Oh she talking about consequence like the rapper. Oh God. For real no the one with the love hip hop thief. No remember oh my god we talk about that one. Yes that one. Yes because he that's Kanye guy. Oh my god I had no idea that's the only way I remember him them teeth like on love hip hop he used to every episode just be her like oh my god every episode I had no idea he was close
Starting point is 01:11:48 with Kanye okay so they not getting into the boss basically no that I mean from what I'm told no but would you be surprised if that were to happen I don't know I just wonder why would a news outlet report that if just because somebody told him that that girl was a goddamn prisoner okay she's screaming for help she's screaming for help She's tired of not wearing any clothes. It's just a good one. It is just about to do a coat drive for Kim Kardashian came out and she was talking about uh, you know what led her to the point where she was ready to divorce She won't be crib walking at somebody show next I can't talking about no Kim do not do it. She will be crib walking at somebody's show next. Why Kim talking about Kanye?
Starting point is 01:12:25 No, Kim do not do that. She don't do that. So they basically were because Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have reunited recently on The Kardashians. And y'all know that that was a whole thing. Khloe hadn't been speaking to Lamar for some time, but Lamar was always trying to get back in her good graces. So because of that, Kim Kardashian actually started talking about what made her divorce Kanye, which she hasn't talked about in a while.
Starting point is 01:12:51 And she basically said that the hardest part is that like when she split from Kanye, you don't foresee it happening. And it really like changes a person's personality. And then you're not the same person once you look back. And I think she said when you're going through a breakup like as bad as what she went through publicly with Kanye and as bad as well Lamar and Chloe went through you're not the same person and it makes you feel or almost hate the person that you were with So that's why this came up. So now the headlines are picking up I don't know Kanye just in the news this week y'all people just like to grab and go
Starting point is 01:13:19 Because he gives us a lot to grab and go But but but it's interesting to know that Lamar is has reunited, not reunited, but like got got reacquainted with Chloe. Yeah, so he did. So they they they they sat down in the episode and he came to come get some stuff that she said that she had in his house or had in her house that was his. Oh, my God. For all them years and years. There's still some stuff over there. It was like some of his rings and stuff like that. So it was like big stuff. But basically
Starting point is 01:13:51 in the part of the episode that you see, she gets emotional because she talks about being by his side when he was in the hospital. She talks about- That show still come on? Yeah, it's on Hulu now. Remember they switched to Hulu? Okay. This was actually a good reunion for her though, because Lamar has been on a lot of weird stuff just trying to get her attention, she finally gave it to him. And the conversation was very, like, it was deep.
Starting point is 01:14:10 She talked about basically being by his side when his dad wanted to pull the plug on him for life insurance, that's what she alleged. She FaceTimes her mom, who gets emotional, because she's like, I'm happy to just see y'all in a good place, but last time we talked to you, Lamar, you were going through so much.
Starting point is 01:14:23 She stuck, he went heart attacks yeah overdose she was Chloe be riding with her man that's one thing about her ups downs and circles but I did not like I what they say sometimes you got to almost die to get your woman back oh no she they get back together okay you but I did not like hella dead. Chloe said she over. Who said that? Oh, okay. You beat the... But I did not like when she told our sister. Remember Lauren, the episode when she told our sister, Kim, Lamar's not gonna be known for anything else but a drug user. That hurt my feelings because he played basketball.
Starting point is 01:14:56 That is absolutely true. That's where we know Lamar from. Why would you ever say it? That's right. Yes. Lamar was a great basketball player. We do not think... Yes, not just a drug user.
Starting point is 01:15:04 NBA basketball player. No. Yeah. But. Not just the drug use. NBA basketball player. No. Yeah. But thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. All right. Well, that was Jess with the mess. Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to?
Starting point is 01:15:12 Well, you know, it's Valentine's Day, and, you know, historically I've always given, you know, Valentine's Day to the women that are lonely, but, you know, those days are over. Women are doing too much now, so I need all of these women who think they players, they need to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with them. And you know, Jess, you don't even make no faces at me cuz you're a retired player but Lauren Larosa You sit right where you at you need to sit right there. Don't you move? Don't you move cuz you really need to hear what I'm about to say
Starting point is 01:15:33 We'll discuss when we come back for after the hour. Don't do Lauren dirty man. She got a long night ahead You hush. Okay. There's a lot going on that you don't know about it because you're not here today We bought this discuss some things I'm good. Don't even worry about me, baby. We'll get to that Nexus the breakfast club. Good morning Wake up wake up your life into the breakfast club Talkie today does not discriminate. I might not have. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man,
Starting point is 01:16:11 give it with the heat. Ah ha ha ha. Yes! It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well Ed Sheeran, Donkey of the Day for Friday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, goes to all you women who wanna be players.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Coil Array, I blame youi LeRae, I blame you. Okay, yes, I blame you. When you came out with that sneaky bot back in 2022, girls is players too. You shifted things for a whole generation of women. Now, before I begin, I would like to say that for years, I historically gave the lonely women hell on Valentine's Day. Okay, the women who didn't have a man on any level,
Starting point is 01:16:43 not a husband, not a fiance, not a boyfriend, not even a consistent sneaky link. And yes, ladies out there with a consistent sneaky link, you should expect something from that consistent sneaky link on Valentine's Day. Your best eater should come with an offering on Valentine's Day, okay? What does your vagina have no value? Are you still mismanaging your poom poom in 2025? Shame on you. I thought you learned how to properly manage your vagina by now but I guess not. For the record if your best eater or your consistent sneaky link doesn't
Starting point is 01:17:12 get you anything for Valentine's Day then your vagina truly has no value. Okay that's right you letting that consistent sneaky link sweat on you. You letting that man put saliva all over your honey pot and he can't get you a little something something for Valentine's Day? If that's the case your vagina not worth the price of the Brazilian you got yesterday for today. But let's get back to these player ass women. I gave this some thought and I have a question.
Starting point is 01:17:36 What's worse? Actually being alone on Valentine's Day, not having a Valentine, not having someone to call your own, or being a player ladies and having about three on the roster and having to juggle all three in the next you know well in this 24 hours okay see you can be surrounded by people and still feel alone and i know you ladies out there that are players who have about three competing for your love like this early 2000s bh1 reality show i know y'all lonely you You can't fool me. If you wanted something that could have been love, you'd have been on the Drewski show. No, you want the real thing.
Starting point is 01:18:10 But guess what? You're not going to find it because you're juggling. All right. You want to be a player out here with three men, three ready to lie about your period being on the two of them. All right. I see what you're doing. So you're waiting to see who does what on Valentine's Day and based on what they do
Starting point is 01:18:26 That's when you decide who you're gonna spend the late late night. I was with okay, but let me tell you something My brothers I need y'all to hit us. She already knows who she wants to be with Okay, she got the whole itinerary planned out now. Let me tell you what she did my brother She probably told all of y'all that she's spending the day with her grandmother and mother sounding sounding something like this My mother my grandmother Mother and grandmother and the niece The niece is diabolical But you know as well as I do that grandma and mama not gonna be out past you know past about eight
Starting point is 01:19:03 I didn't a night clothes head wrap calling it a night by nine. Okay. This, you know, so that playa lady you chasing is just looking to see who is going to be active after 9 PM. Who's going to be on her body after 9 PM. In fact, I've heard these playa ladies refer to having multiple suitors on Valentine's day. I've heard them refer to this activity as a marathon.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Now I'm not going to say no names, but I was having a convo with one of those player ladies earlier this week and she admitted Valentine's Day was going to be a marathon. I actually have it. Can we listen? I heard you had a few prospects. I'm going to go home and make sure that they get, you know, their, their roses and their candies. I do it every year. How many, how many guys is it? Ignore him. Continue on. I mean, don't get yourself in trouble.
Starting point is 01:19:44 What are you looking for this Valentine? Oh boy, what do you hope one of these guys? How does the person goes how does a person win? Yes, the winner knows how he's supposed to win I don't think you know Aaron say it. Okay. Okay. It's not it's not a competition. It's you know, it's a marathon now Let me tell you something. Don't don all that player talk confuse you, okay? Because it sounds bigger than what it is.
Starting point is 01:20:08 See, player ladies not really built to be players because if you was, you could be honest with all your hoes and let them know the hunt is on, okay? You out here telling them that you're spending the day with your mother and grandmother and niece when the reality is you're going to brunch with one, okay, a late lunch with the other, and then you're spending the night with the one you really want to be with.
Starting point is 01:20:26 And I'm going to tell you why it can get sticky when all of them know, okay, where you work, all right? And all of them pop up at the job at the same time because they was invited by a diabolical coworker. You ain't invite nobody nowhere. I know. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You better stop.
Starting point is 01:20:43 You got scared, huh? You got scared, huh? No, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that I wouldn't do that but there was a traffic jam downstairs and again oh it was a traffic guess what it was a traffic jam of envy that's what it was a traffic tell me tell me flowers you ordered these flowers no I did yes you did because how would you know it was downstairs cuz they called back to back to back. You a liar. You a liar.
Starting point is 01:21:07 They called back to back to back. One call came in saying, we got flowers for guess who? Player of the year, Lauren LaRosa. Okay, let me tell you something. I was shocked because when they said flowers, I was thinking, oh wow, a guy sent flowers? But guess what?
Starting point is 01:21:21 They called again. And then again. No. Three men sent flowers up here guess what? They called again. And then again. No. Three men sent flowers up here for Lauren LaRosa. Guess what? Guess what? Guess what? Read the cards.
Starting point is 01:21:34 You wanna read the card? Read the card. What do the cards say? I don't know. Read them, I wanna know where they're from. Read the cards. I want y'all to know that this is Charlamagne. That is not me.
Starting point is 01:21:42 And you know what? I came ready for this. That's why I put on a red lip. I look really really good. Read the card. You know what? Don't worry about it. I took another one. I took pics of the messages on the card already. Oh how did you get that so fast? They've been here for 30 minutes ma'am. As soon as they said we got flowers for Lauren LaRosa. Do you think we didn't send people downstairs? Now Jessica Robin-Morth. Jessica Robin-Morth. You're a retired player. All of y'all was in on this. You're a retired player you're a retired player what do you suggest Lauren you know do are you want me to read these messages for us on this card somebody say a little short damn okay message one... They're looking like chocolate milk.
Starting point is 01:22:26 Message one says, I don't know what place I will finish in the marathon, but I hope it's first. Sincerely, you know who? Drop one of those clues bombs for that smart man, okay? Glad you didn't leave a name. Better to remain anonymous when you're sending something to a player on Valentine's Day message number two from these other flowers says damn why I gotta be a race I hope I'm not in second place sincerely never number two none of the people I know would even talk like what's the third one third and
Starting point is 01:23:01 final message oh this is crazy? Leave the competitions for your heart to Quincy and Monica? I'm not racing nobody for nothing. This isn't loving track meets. See you later Mr. First Place. Woooo. Y'all he is lying. I don't even talk to him in that talk like that. I can tell by these messages who's brunch who's late lunch and who's getting the late night Okay, ladies is this the life you really want to be? Is this the life you really want to lead ladies ladies is the play of life really better than having a one and only? Valentine are you gonna end up alone? Because these men are not gonna like
Starting point is 01:23:45 the fact that all of them sent flowers to your job at the same damn time and your messy ass co-worker read the messages on the air I don't know but just remember whatever the outcome this is the life you chose damn because girls want to be players too please give all the lady players on Valentine's Day the biggest hee hawk. You're gonna end up with nothing. You don't know they sent in this newspaper that R. Kelly's appeal was denied. You're gonna end up with nothing. I'm gonna end up with more of you Lauren. You're gonna end up with nothing but a yeast infection. First of all, Envy, you know he sent these flowers. PH balance is gonna be all the way off. I'm talking to you. I'm talking to all the lady players. And even if I did get three flowers, there ain't nothing. I'm not.
Starting point is 01:24:26 What you mean even if you get... You keep talking about balances. Ain't three people doing nothing in 24 hours. You know this is on video, right? You see all that right there. First of all, let me tell you. You knew that the flowers were set before they came up. No, first of all, they call downstairs when there's a package, Lauren. They called 25 minutes ago. No, it wasn't 25 minutes ago. How long ago was it, Mac? And then also, I went and told Mac to go get them.
Starting point is 01:24:50 When I checked in, he didn't even have them yet. You had what was written on the cards and your notes on your computer. Alright. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day, sir. I am so disappointed in you, Lauren. I'm so disappointed. you Lauren. I'm so disappointed in you. Amazing gag reflexes.

Alright, well thank you for that donkey today Charlamagne.'t stopping nothing. Here we go. Alright. Well thank you for that donkey today, Charlamagne. Not a nothing.

We have I own Rucka Jamison. We also have Ellen Rucka Sellers. Of Rucka Roots. Yes. And we're going to talk to them next. These young ladies, these women, they have products in all of these young talk to the next these young ladies these women they have products in all of these retail stores some of these retail stores have rolled back some of
Starting point is 01:25:50 their dei initiatives so i want to talk to these women who actually have products in these stores about this situation what you're looking at a player okay they don't believe you you need somebody who bit off more than they can they don't believe you.

Starting point is 01:26:26 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 01:26:32 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 01:26:39 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! guest with us this morning we have the founder and CEO of the lip bar Melissa Butler welcome and we also have co-founders of Rucka Roots Dr. Ellen Ruckacelles and I own Rucka Jameson welcome. Good morning. Thank you so much for having us.
Starting point is 01:26:56 No we you know the reason we wanted you here today is because there's all this conversation about Target and should folks boycott Target because they rolled back their DEI policies but then there are people who say we should be doing a buyout and supporting all the black-owned products in Target, and you all have black-owned products in Target, so we wanted to hear from you all. Thank you for this opportunity, thank you for this platform.
Starting point is 01:27:17 You know, I think it's very important for brand owners to have a voice in this because every day we are in there grinding, we have worked so hard to get on the shelf. owners to have a voice in this because every day we are in there grinding we have worked so hard to get on the shelf the shelf space is a covenant space right everybody didn't get the opportunity and for a brand to get to shelf space is a huge like a process like it takes years it really does and to stay there it's so it's so hard too and so I'm so glad that you gave us this platform because we need our community We need our community to you know galvanize around these black brands because we're fighting the good fight too, right? So
Starting point is 01:27:59 Let's go to the problem start with since you're speaking Let's talk about rucka roots what ruckaots is and talk about the process of selling your product. Because most people don't know, they don't understand, like you said, they automatically think you have a product, you put it in Walmart and you're good money. Oh no. They don't understand that it goes from one store and then the region and then from a noteworthy store. So break it down to what Rucka Roots is, how it started and how you.
Starting point is 01:28:19 So for Rucka Roots, we are an all natural hair care company. I own and I started it in 2015 with the goal of being a household brand, right? And so we started it in professional salons. So we gave products to stylists and let them use the product. We had a distributor. Then we went to trade shows, which we met Melissa at several trade shows, trying to get your product out there. So you're in front of the consumer and once you get the notoriety or the Once you get enough recognition amongst some of these retailers they come to you and say hey, you know
Starting point is 01:28:55 Let's talk about coming into retail and so our first retailer was Sally's Beauty and then target and and after you get was Sally's Beauty and then Target. And after you get one, you get more. But in order to stay in those retail stores, you get audited basically every year. You have a line review. If you're not performing, guess what? Your space is gone. And so when we look at the boycott,
Starting point is 01:29:20 I'm not telling people not to boycott. That's not in my spirit. That's not where I come from. You know, I mean, boycotting is part of, you know, our bloodline, right? What I am telling people is you can't forget these black friends that have worked so hard to get there because it's a long process. See, that's why I think a buyout is good because of what you said, if you know, these products are sitting on the self and target and nobody goes in there and buys them, then that gives them a reason to say, you know what, get this stuff out of here anyway.
Starting point is 01:29:49 And honestly, isn't that the goal? Mm-hmm, absolutely. Isn't that the goal? And that's what we're working, I mean that's the goal for them, you know, to weed us out, to discourage us, to bring trauma and drama and all the things that as black women we have to deal with every single day.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Can I tell you? Yeah, go ahead. Okay. Ellen and I are sisters and we're from South Carolina, fellow South Carolinians, they shall remain, and we come from a very big family in a very small town where four out of ten people in our town are unbanked or either underbanked. So they don't have the debit cards to shop online. All they have is to go into our local Walmart and get products off the shelves.
Starting point is 01:30:33 So that's 40% of our clientele that can't shop online. Now we're not telling you not to shop online because as we all know, we want you to shop online but you know, we come from a small town where a lot of our clientele can't shop online. We just get wildfire in some of these rural areas. When COVID hit our hometown, we couldn't even have remote schools because most of the people don't have the internet. Jesus. Yeah. So we want our people to be able to go to the Walmart and pick up our products and shop.
Starting point is 01:31:08 I think more than anything, so throughout this process, it's been really disappointing to feel the wrath of our own community. I started the Lip Bar in 2012 literally making lipstick in my kitchen because I was frustrated with the beauty industry. It's lack of diversity, it's excessive amounts of chemicals. But I really wanted to center black women.
Starting point is 01:31:31 And I've been doing that for 12 years. Like 12 years I've been standing up for black women saying, hey, you are enough. Hey, I am- Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds. But what if there's something else, something much more ominous, that appears under the cover of night? Silent. Unseen. Watching. They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look
Starting point is 01:32:07 like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used the word drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there and one minute it wasn't. Oh that is beyond creepy. Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Listen to Obscurum, Invasion of the Drones, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. you get your podcasts. on my calling. But a lot of that was just because I wasn't good at anything else, you know? Join the two amigos straight from Wilmer Speak Easy for toast to good times. Don't be surprised if some special guests and good friends drop in. And always expect lively candid discussions, plenty of genuine moments, and lots of laughter. Remember here in this commercial, are you between the ages of 16? What is it? Oh man. Are you between the ages of 16? What is it? Oh man. Are you between the ages of 14 and 16 years old? What do you think it takes to be a TV personality and commercials and you know, Saturday morning shows?
Starting point is 01:33:33 Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why would you do that to me when I thought we were friends? We are friends. Los Angeles, 2021. A friendly neighbor appears out of nowhere and promises to make all my dreams come true.
Starting point is 01:33:56 Let's not forget that David Blum was a professional con artist, so you didn't stand a chance. But my dreams soon turned into a nightmare. Bloom generally targeted people with money. And I was not alone. He took over 100 people for over $15 million. One of the victims was his own grandmother. I was married to David for almost 10 years.
Starting point is 01:34:19 It was insane. I was barely functioning. And I just had this realization that he will not stop until he kills me. Getting a con artist to pay for their crimes isn't easy. Charge David Blum! I'm Caroline DeMore. Listen as I take down my scammer on Once Upon a Con on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yo, what up? It's your girl Jess Hilarious. And I think it's time to acknowledge that I'm not just a comedian. It's time to add uncertified therapists to my credentials

Send me your situation and let's fix it as a family. Listen to Carefully Reckless on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Creating products for you.
Starting point is 01:35:43 Hey, I'm making sure that I am building our self-esteem collectively. And so when this happens, I want our community to know that like, we are disappointed too. Like we're upset with with Target and Walmart and Google and all of these companies that have shut down their DEI, but to ask us to remove our products from retail, it's unrealistic because what does that look like? For most black businesses, it looks like a shutting down our actual businesses. So you ask like, how does it work to get into retail? Well, how it works is we buy inventory upfront months in advance. You're almost a year in it there.
Starting point is 01:36:29 So when you think about retail, when you think about retail, it's kind of a crazy thing. Like we buy products to sit on show just in case you want it, which means that we are we are having to outlay capital at the forefront for thousands hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of units so that if you go into your local Target Walmart CVS it is available for you. You basically front and target the brick. Yeah. Absolutely. Is there a minimum on that? Like, amount of inventory you have to carry? It depends on how many doors you have.
Starting point is 01:37:08 Because I know some stores do have that. Yeah. It's a large amount, and they don't give you money to up it. And they don't give you money to up it. And so you have to buy that inventory, but you don't get paid on that inventory for sometimes eight months, you know, a year, depending on when you set. And then once they place the
Starting point is 01:37:26 order, you can have terms that are net 60, net 90. So like black owned brands are waiting on their finances to come through. We can't just pull our products from Target. We're in contracts with them. We are for the most part dependent on retailers to ensure that we have the visibility and to make sure that we have the turns. Now some people will say like, oh, well just, you know, make sure they shop at your dot com. Y'all, in 2020, when black people, when it was a trend to shop black businesses, we all benefited. Yeah, we all benefited. It felt good. We were living in the money.
Starting point is 01:38:03 We hired more people We bought more inventory and then guess what it wasn't involved to shop black anymore So I want us to remember the buying power of black businesses Sure, if you want a boycott boycott because like there is so much power in our dollars But at the end of the day We have to be intentional about our shopping to make sure that our dollars are going back to our communities. Because guess what? Black people hire black people. Like my team is 75% black. My team is 100% women. I'm investing in my community. I gave $35,000 in grants to black women last year.
Starting point is 01:38:41 So it's like, these are this is what black businesses are doing. So the minute you decide that shopping black is a trend, it negatively impacts us the minute you decide that you won't shop in the stores that carry our products. It will impact us now we're not here to say you should shop in these retailers if you feel disrespected. You have the ability and the right to take your dollars wherever you are most comfortable. But to your point, don't forget about us. Please do in fact go to R.com.
Starting point is 01:39:09 Exactly. When we come back, we're still kicking it with Melissa Butler from Lip Bar, Ellen Rucker Sellers and Ion Rucker Jamison from Rucker Roots. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.
Starting point is 01:39:23 We are the Breakfast Club. Laura Rosa hanging with us as well. And we're still kicking it with Melissa Butler from Lip Bar and Ellen Rucker Sellers and I own Rucker Jamison from Rucker Roots. Lauren? I heard I saw a report that one of the brands said that they found out when we found out that that the D.I.C. was coming out. We all found out. Did they inform y'all? No emails? the DEI. So now we're just on the front lines fighting for our lives on social media because people are coming at us as if we did it, as if we created it. So no, we did not have a
Starting point is 01:39:58 heads up. That was very unfortunate. But I will say, like myself myself people like Tabitha Brown people like B from Honeypot we have been having constant conversation with Target about the impacts about their responsibility in the matter and frankly pushing them on what they need to do next and so just know that just because like we are online and we're still selling our products that does not mean that in the background We are not fighting the good fight within the retailer because at the end of the day like I know people are upset with With target and Walmart, but like we actually have skin in the game like yeah You need to find a new place to shop your toilet paper, but we are actually in business with them
Starting point is 01:40:42 So of course we're upset. We are more upset with these retailers for blindsiding us and for frankly not being clear on what this actually means. Now that being said, all of those brands for the most part shopped or launched in Target before DEI was this three-letter trend where like going back to like dark and lovely they've been pushing and building small black-owned businesses so as far as I know they continue they will continue to do that but the reality is we are we are witnessing an attack of DEI we are witnessing an attack from the government on DEI so like how how are we all supposed to manage that? Are we supposed to shut down our Gmail? I was gonna ask, did DEI get your products in there?
Starting point is 01:41:28 Did they give you the opportunity to get in there? No, no, no. No, we got into retail because we were a strong brand. Now, do some of the buyers look like us and they appreciate representation? Absolutely. Some of the buyers that we have met with, you know, with some of our retailers, they are African American buyers. And that's so important, too, to make sure that,
Starting point is 01:41:52 you know, we, you know, have those people in those positions so that they can bring in brands like us and understand the importance. But if you look at how much African Americans spend, I mean, these retailers are all in the money making business, right? And we spend money. Yeah, it's a business. So we don't foresee our brands going... I mean, you know, we don't... They want to make money and our consumers spend the most money.
Starting point is 01:42:18 That's just facts. So I just really... Yeah, black women spend nine times our white counterparts on beauty product. And so obviously there's a difference in a black woman's hair and a white woman's hair in terms of makeup Aside from color theory and a brand Caring enough to actually have a wide range of colors. There's no there's no real difference And so my buying team is actually not women of color They've never been women of color
Starting point is 01:42:44 And so I think that speaks to the idea that like, to your point, they're in the money business, like everybody here is trying to fill a gap. Everyone is trying to figure out how do I get more customers to shop our products. And this is what we're, you know, if you have a record route, if you have a lip bar, and you understand that this can bring a different customer, you have a record route, if you have a lip bar and you understand that this can bring a different customer, you have an advantage. And so we all have strong businesses, we all have strong brands, we have strong followings,
Starting point is 01:43:12 and that's how we've been able to stay in retail this long. Somebody told me, and I don't know if it's true, they said Target didn't actually roll back their initiative, they just changed the name. Is that true? I think that a lot of these corporations are scared to get sued by the government, right? I think that's what they are nervous about, you know, this new administration
Starting point is 01:43:31 coming in and making all these changes and, and the war on diversity, equity, inclusion, and they're scared to get sued if they put it out there. And I know, you know, just this week, we just shipped huge orders to, you know, one of our retailers. Really? Yeah. But I wonder if that's because of the, they're calling it a buy cut, because there's some people who are like,
Starting point is 01:43:55 no, I'm gonna go in these stores and I'm gonna buy all the black products. I may not, you know, buy anything else, but I'm gonna go buy the black products. And we want you to do that. Yeah. Absolutely. And we're not telling,
Starting point is 01:44:05 like we're not here to tell you where to shop. We're here to tell, like ask you to shop with us. We love y'all. You know we need you. We love you.

Like, I am from the blackest city in America, Detroit, Detroit Michigan so just know that I am always putting us first. There you have it. That's right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This play a lady still in here lying talking about I sent these flowers I
Starting point is 01:45:20 did not send these flowers but none of her boys would send her these pallbear flowers. I didn't say none of my boys I said my boo. No she said none of her guys would send her these Paul Bear flowers I said they're sending you a message to let you know. The flower selection is very mature. It's dead out here. I will say that this is very mature. Well this is usually where we do a pastor aux but Naila is sick. Naila is sick because she's single she didn't want to be here They warned me and I still can't Sim walking around with little ear things on her head talk about I love you. She ain't got no Valentine Niles Take you know, it's just it's rough out here me my office call flowers. Let's get to Jess with the mess Just don't do no She'll spend nobody Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody.
Starting point is 01:46:06 Worldwide Jess, worldwide Meta. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it all. So it's a lot of music that's been dropping we gonna get into some we got Drake, Jaqueez and who else drops? Offset. The baby.
Starting point is 01:46:30 Yeah. The baby. Okay. Yeah so taking it back to Drake but not too long because I know y'all hate the album. I don't hate it. I just listened to it just so I can't say what I love about it. It's just more of the same. It sounds manufactured.
Starting point is 01:46:42 It's no soul. It's like I said it's AI and and you wanted more from him, right? Maybe I expect more from party. I don't know. I didn't Party's a great artist, but this this was Drake's moment. I wanted to play the top of give me a hug I felt like people are skipping over this because I think this explains why we didn't get that deep Soulful sound that you want it from Drake. Let's take a listen. I think Drake he's he's got a he got a good his foot in back Yeah, he's been through a he gotta get his foot in back Y'all he's been through a lot Gotta get his foot in back
Starting point is 01:47:08 The comments there's a lot of the things that I feel like that's that's all them Like what he was just rapping about all of that stuff was in the comments, you know It's getting to him and I think people wanted to hear how he really felt about it But like would you get on the track right now to really do that? You do realize this is a collaboration with party and it's supposed to be an R&B album But the fact that it's R&B album, but y'all keep going back to the rap She'll let you know everything you need to know about the R&B that's on now. Mm-hmm Well, I didn't hear it, but I love I love when Drake raps. I don't necessarily love the R&B point the stuff
Starting point is 01:47:35 I like this is R&B out I think the fake the fact that Drake got talked to his stuff like Issa Rae and Amir means he needs some more time Y'all's too soon shouldn't be called. Give me a hug. It should be called. I need a Mirror means he needs some more time yours too soon shouldn't be called. Give me a hug. She be called. I need a Expresses feelings in his music instead of going online Goes when he does it in the music. I say he needs a hug. He know he said he want a hug It's called. Give me a hug. Well, I love a bench people try to make it use for each other Well, we asked him for a hug. You need one he knew on this song He asked him for the hug like the person that you ain't seen in a minute They'd be like come here y'all. Give me a hug those people kind of annoying but um
Starting point is 01:48:10 Next song speaking of just you know getting into some things so Jacquees and Dej loaf now before we get to the song We talked about this in just with the mess earlier Jess remember when we were talking about how like Dej loaf Deandre's Yeah, what was What happened with that? So Dej Loaf and Jacquees actually sat down and they addressed this whole situation. There's been a fallout with Jacquees' fiance because of the collaboration. Let's take a listen. In my understanding, she don't really understand the entertainment industry. I think that's why you see like the outlashes on the internet and just different stuff like
Starting point is 01:48:43 that. I think she probably do that to be heard or something. I mean of course I don't like it, you know what I'm saying, but I try not to indulge in the internet stuff, you know what I'm saying. So I try to stay like as far away from it as possible in the public. Anybody that know me, I feel like they just know that I'm passionate about my work and my dream. I respect people's relationships, you know, but I also, it's like do y'all respect the
Starting point is 01:49:03 friendship? I've been out the picture, you know, and I stay out the picture unless it's business Like we don't even hang out as much and do the cool I used to do so now it's you know, it's respect females is never even take it to me for real Or even if they did know me they don't like me now, you know them Zan just cuz they don't like our bond and our chemistry so Now y'all heard all that just go ahead What do you mean she's doing going back to what Jack we say like, we mean, she's doing this to be heard or whatever. Yeah, because obviously you don't hear her, you know, even
Starting point is 01:49:32 if she don't understand, it's your job to make her understand what's going on. You know what I mean? And to hear her say that she was like she couldn't come to then they should say that she was blocked from some type of rehearsal or she wasn't allowed Yeah, wasn't allowed to be there like she not ever post to feel like that You know what? I mean like actually if we just had a baby you proposed to me You tell it you doing all these interviews so much you're gonna marry me and all this stuff and then Next that you know, that's why rappers supposed to leave a I get why they leave their personal life private because this that that's not even supposed to be a
Starting point is 01:50:09 thing you're not even supposed to be on I want to take a listen to some of the songs because I will say F your friends on one was very flirty very whatever and I think that's a spark the rumors even though you know they're saying this platonic and it's called F the friend zone baby friend zone too but this is a continuation of the 2017 project to be fair before uh diandra was in i get it but that girl just had a baby her mind is fresh on she just went through this with dreezy it it's too much take a listen to the song she better not listen to that album oh the album is very much that that is a remake of their uh still belong to somebody they
Starting point is 01:50:42 did this uh belong to somebody else and it still belong to somebody else so they kind of like simple their own song but it very much leans into we crossing the boundaries of a friend zone but they have said that this is platonic beyond Deandra Sanders also did say that she tried to introduce herself to Dave's loaf twice but Dave didn't want to meet her according to Deandra and she's basically saying y'all go please give their little album some press so they'll stop leaning into this so I was born in 1978 saying y'all go please give their little album some press so they'll stop leaning into this over I was born in 1978 may y'all really be having sex to music like that Thing is they drove gay ain't she know she got like a girlfriend something I'm just making sure. I'm like, damn, that's what y'all playing about? The interesting thing is, Dej love gay.
Starting point is 01:51:27 Ain't she? You know she got like a girlfriend or something? Yeah, they both in public relationships with people. So you're telling me there's a stud out there ready to stand up and be like, uh-uh. Dej is the feminist stud. She is the one. Uh-oh. Like, I feel the same way Deandre.
Starting point is 01:51:43 What's her name? Deandre. I feel the same way Deandre. What's her name Deandra? I know your pain. You know what I mean, but think she could be by though Yeah, she could be but she just she's in it. I thought you know, I swear I saw something like she had posted photos a minute ago Yeah, but I don't know where she is right now. Yeah, I don't know where that is right now It don't matter She is mad is about what how Deandre a feeling like listen because that girl could be going to be postpartum or anything and Why would you deny meeting the girl? Why did you why would you decline on meeting? Me and Deandre if you and if you and Jacquees are strictly platonic
Starting point is 01:52:22 I don't understand it is a sticky situation though because you know it seems to me like the two people Jacquees and De platonic, I don't understand why. It is a sticky situation though, because it seems to me like the two people, Jacquees and Dejlo, probably would have been better friends than lovers, and they probably should have never been in a relationship. And it's the worst when you realize that after y'all done sweated on each other, because you can't un-eff a person. They engaged. Who? Deandre and Jacquees are engaged, but he's talking about Dejlo.
Starting point is 01:52:44 Oh, I don't know if they ever really swe, but he's talking about Deandre and Louis. Oh, I don't know if they ever really sweated on each other in real life or if this is just for the music. Oh, I didn't know that. They say it's- They've been together like a year? You so unk, it's confused. I don't know, I thought y'all was- I'm listening to y'all, I thought y'all was- I thought the
Starting point is 01:52:55 problem was that he used to be with Dey and Deandre don't like them doing music together. We don't know- That's it, he got it right. That's the gist of it, that's right. Oh, okay. All right. I'm about to stay out of these young people's business. I know right he got it right. That's the gist of it. That's right. Yeah, okay I'm about to stay out of these young people business. I know right I know Pissing me off
Starting point is 01:53:14 To tick-tack Well, that is just with the message too much to take a happy Valentine's Day Mix it's a Valentine Everybody Happy Valentine's Day everybody. Let's get to the mix. It's a Valentine's. Mix don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. You heard her say everybody. She's talking to all her hoes. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the breakfast club.
Starting point is 01:53:31 Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. It's Black History Month. What we doing today Charlamagne? Man salute to my guy B.Dot. You know every day during Black History Month
Starting point is 01:53:41 B.Dot puts out a podcast called I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Either. And today's episode is about HBCUs and PBIs. HBCUs and PBIs are the dynamic duo of black education, one with a rich history of excellence and the other an urban hero meeting that today needs. B.Dot, let's discuss. I didn't know maybe you didn't need.
Starting point is 01:54:01 I didn't know maybe you didn't need. I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know. Maybe you didn't need, I didn't know. I didn't know, I didn't know. All right, now let's start with the HBCUs. They the OGs. These schools go way back, like before your grandma's grandma was even thinking about having kids back.
Starting point is 01:54:16 You dig what I'm saying? First one, Cheney University, 1837. That's right, black folks was out here educating themselves when slavery was still happening. Imagine trying to study algebra when people out here trying to enslave you. Now that's some dedication. HBCUs were like, y'all don't want us in your schools? Cool, we'll build our own schools. And they did it big. Howard, Spelman, Morehouse, HBCU homecomings. You know the vibes. If you've never been the one, you're missing out. Now PBI's, that's Donnie and Mark and Joey and Jordan and them. You know, new kids on the
Starting point is 01:54:48 block. Because PBI's came later. They're like, we might not have the history, but we're here for the hustle. See, PBI's are schools located in urban areas where most of us live. And they said, listen, black students are here. We see you. Let's make this work. But PBI's weren't always for us. Some of them started as regular old colleges and then looked around and said, oh snap, half our students is black. Guess we're PBI now.
Starting point is 01:55:14 Now here's the thing, both HBCUs and PBI's are here to lift us up. They're about helping us get degrees, build careers, and to help you stop having to ask for your mama's car. And both are cranking out black excellence. HBCUs gave us Martin Luther King jr. Oprah and Chadwick Boseman. PBI's are newer so they're alumni like and we're still coming up right now but we got next though although there are similarities there are also differences the big difference HBCUs are about
Starting point is 01:55:41 legacy you walk onto a HBCU campus and it feels like a black family reunion where everybody's a TT or unk. Period. There's history in the air. PBI's, they're about right now. They're like, what do you need? You need resources, you need scholarships, you need snacks, we got you. So we need both. Why? Because racism doesn't take a day off. HBCUs are there to remind us where we've been and PBIs are there to make sure no one gets left behind. It's like a relay race. HBCUs started it and PBIs grabbed the baton. Stick! That's what you say when somebody passing you the baton. I ran track a little bit in high school. Wasn't very good but I know the jargon. So whether you repping FAMU, Winston-Salem State, Howard, or some PBI in your city, just know this.
Starting point is 01:56:28 These schools are for us, by us. They FUBU schools. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. Happy Black History Month, everybody. Yes, indeed.
