good morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the Breakfast Club Laura La Rosa filling in for Jess and let's get in some

front page news now last night Major League Baseball the Mets won last night and also the Yankees won 5-2 they both tied the series

actually the Yankees lead 1-0 the Jets lost last night. The Buffalo Bills beat them 23-20. No, we're still in the playoffs. Not the World Series yet. Both the Mets and the Yankees have to win this. Well, this is the American League Championship Series.

So this is right before the World Series. All right. All right. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning. I can't hear Charlemagne, but I'm going to go ahead and not get too much into that. I'll let y'all figure that out.

So Election Day is about three weeks away, and the candidates are out on the campaign trail. Former President Donald Trump, he held a town hall outside of Philadelphia yesterday in Oak, Pennsylvania, where he pledged to bring down interest rates and not tax seniors on certain things. Let's hear more from Trump's town hall. We had interest rates at 2 percent, and now they're 10 percent, and you can't get the money. We're not going to forget the older people. By the way, no tax on Social going to forget the older people by the way no tax on social security benefits so trump said at two percent there was plenty money uh for everybody that was under his

administration however it is important to note that under the trump administration uh those rates also rose 0.5 percent since the obama administration so rates have just been up since uh then period trump also repeated the drill baby drill phrase uh saying that they're going to have or we're going to have so much energy meanwhile the trump campaign also says the man that was arrested outside of the former president's rally in california over the weekend was not attempting to assassinate him that's according to fox news police say them miller tried to pass a security checkpoint with loaded guns and multiple passports uh fake names and um in his vehicle and then some miller who was released on a five thousand dollar bail told the las vegas review journal

any notion that he was planning to assassinate the former president is quote ridiculous the fbi justice department and secret service have all said Trump was not in any danger at that rally. But he had weapons, right? Yeah, weapons, ammunition, all types of things. So why would you just casually be there with that? Just chilling. Yeah, supposedly. And then the other the other notion is that he was part of the media.

But I'm gonna go ahead and reject that because what? So let's switch gears. I want to provide an update following the aftermath of Hurricane Milton and Helene. You know, they left a trail of devastation and in western North Carolina, crews are still working to restore power in some of the hardest hit areas by Helene after the storm initially left a million customers in the dark. Asheville in particular was hit hard by the storm after it may landfall two weeks ago in Florida and the cleanup may take years.

This comes as President Biden, of course, recently surveyed the damage in Florida and announced $612 million for projects to help the electric grid in the areas affected by Milton and Helene. Also, a North Carolina man, he's facing charges for allegedly threatening FEMA workers. So as a result of that, FEMA has been paused in some areas, some areas of North Carolina as they assess those threats. That man has he was arrested. So that threat, of course, has been mitigated. And of course, in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis says they're making progress on getting fuel back to every part of the state. DeSantis says the state will help repair ports and other structures. Let's hear more from him. More and more gas stations as they get power also get the fuel. It's not 100 percent, but they're making good progress. Florida will provide 9.5 million dollars to jumpstart the recovery and help repair the impacted infrastructure. Yeah, so he said free gas is available at 12 different locations for people impacted by Hurricane Milton.

He adds that there are 3.5 million homes, of course, that have had their electricity restored with about 97% of the state now operational. So, okay, strides are being made, and yeah, but there are still about 300,000 customers that still don't have power. So, again, strides are being made, but there's still more work to do. A lot of places say it could take years for the cleanup regarding Hurricane Milton and Helene. So I'll keep you guys posted on that. Yeah, salute to, I got family out in Florida and Tampa, and they were saying that they still don't have power now. And to actually get gas for their generator, they have to drive an hour and a half to get gas.

When they drive that hour and a half, they have to fill up like seven, eight containers or nine containers because they really fill it up for the whole block. And they go in together and they have to always come back and refill it every two, three days. So they're saying it's still pretty effed up. They say they don't see any FEMA. They said they don't see FEMA at the local hospitals and they're going through it right now. So they say just continue to pray and they're going to continue to, you know, to make sure that the elderly people in the neighborhood are good. Yeah. Well, kudos to them for having community about it. So, yeah, well, I'll keep you guys posted. We'll check in with Vice President Harris on the other side or excuse me, at 7 a.m.

All right. Well, thank you very much. We'll see you in a little bit more. Charlamagne, you with us now? I can hear you. I can hear you. I think I can hear you. The audio doesn't sound clear, but I can hear you. All right.

Well, everybody, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 if you need to vent. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Okay. Number two, I wanted to talk about getting your colon checked. A lot of people are afraid to get their colon checked, but you can also do the colon walk, which is a non-invasive procedure that i had done and i've had guards because i have nobody my family i'm not high risk for colon cancer but what it does what i did is the doctor ordered it it came in the mail i but we improved in in like a content put something over to it i poop. We know what a colon check is, you ain't got to break it down. You got your colon check.

Yeah, do it the way you guys did it. I did, I mailed mine off. I didn't call the cola bar. I mailed mine off. So people who are not afraid to get it done, if they're not high risk,

they can get the cola bar. If they're to pay, they can get the Cologuard. If they're to pay, they can get the Cologuard. That's how I did mine because I didn't want to do, I didn't want to show them afraid to do it too. But I did the Cologuard

and mine came out negative. So that's another way I was able to do it too and you don't have to, you know, you do it at home and you just mail it. You go to UPS

and then you can do that. Okay. Thank you, Sha, for breaking that down and how you sent your poop to the doctor for them to check it. Yeah. But check your audio.

I don't know what to do with these little wild puppies. I'm so sick of getting up

I'm sick of it, y'all. Help me. I'm about to pull out my hair. Help me. How old are they? EMV, y'all pushing me to get there?

But they're just wild little puppies. Well, I feel bad for you. I mean, the best thing I can say is if you can, is take them outside as long as you

can in the park and let them tie themselves out. So when they come home, they just ready to do homework, eat and go to sleep. That's what I do with my kids. Most of the time, if they, if they got too much energy,

you got to go outside and let them release that energy a little bit. Oh, I, oh, I locked the door. I locked them outside in the backyard. Like go out there, please.

Well, all right, Charlamagne. All right.

So many people are listening now so they can hear it for themselves

Alright well it's The Breakfast Club good morning The Breakfast Club It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, how are you? This is Antoinette. Hey, Antoinette, good morning. Get it off your chest, mama. What's going on? I need to just get a little bit off my chest about the school system and about these parents, man.

It's all about the parents. I need them to know that it starts at home. The children are getting up to second and third grade and they can't read the sentence. You're right. It's very... Yeah, this is a problem. No, you're right. Parents need to make sure that they read to their kids

and they're more... A lot of times, parents just drop their kids off at school and expect the school to do everything. But parents got to be there as well. You're absolutely positively right. And then when you tell the parents about the kids not able to read, they want to argue and fight with the teachers. They got to take accountability.

It starts at home. No, she's telling the parents that parents got to do more. They can't just drop their kids off and expect their kids to be great in just school. They got to make sure they reinforce some of the things that the school is doing. I agree. Absolutely. Man, when I tell you the children can't read, it's sad. It's hurtful.

Like, I need these parents to do more. So I feel like being on the radio, they listen to the music. I need them to edit. They getting up to second and third grade and they can't read basic words, basic sight words. Yeah, it's difficult. If they can't read, they can't write.

And a lot of the kids, what they're doing now is they're actually voice talking into the phone. So they don't even have to be able to type it out because they just talk into the phone. So a lot of times they don't know how to spell. They don't know how to complete sentences. So yeah, it happens.

I see it. You know what I mean? And that is just bothering me. So I was rolling in traffic a little bit. I heard you say get it off your chest. I just needed to get that off my chest. That's about it. Y'all have a blessed day.

Thank you, Mama. You too. Tone, good morning. Now, Tone is the gentleman that called last week that went viral, that was very upset with the politicians he called from Tampa. Good morning, Tone. Oh, my God, Tone. the gentleman that called last week that went viral, that was very upset with the politicians he's calling from Tampa. Good morning, Tone. Oh, my God, Tone. I've been thinking about you.

How are you? Good morning. Good morning. Hey, I'm feeling all right, man. I appreciate y'all for helping getting that message out there. My mom and them power came on. Everybody powered. My friends and family, we all got power.

I still got a lot of friends and family that got power though. I do appreciate the linemen and electricians that's out there in Tampa really like working day and night to get this power back on for people. My issue is I got another issue What's up, Tone? Because the

Kamala Harris with her plan for black men I don't want to like I want to say this and I don't want to make it seem like I'm coming at Kamala Harris. Just be truthful, brother. Go ahead. What's on your mind?

They promised us the George Floyd Policing Act four years ago that's going to protect black people. That was going to be the black hate crime from my understanding we ain't got that yet so if we ain't got what we was promised what what really drove us to vote for biden and cobbler harris in the first place if we ain't got what drove us to vote for them why are we supposed to believe that she's gonna fulfill what she said she got for black men.

It's stuff like this that makes me not trust politicians because they love to say what we want to hear. They treat us like hoes. They treat voters like we're hoes. Tell us what we want to hear. Get what they want. Hold on, Charlemagne.

Charlemagne's on the line. You might not be able to hear him, but he's going to respond. But also what we're going to do, Tone, is I'm going to put you on hold. Charlemagne. Charlemagne's on the line. You might not be able to hear him, but he's going to respond. But also what we're going to do, Tone, is I'm going to put you on hold. Charlemagne has he's going to be talking with Kamala Harris on a one on one today. We are the people. It's a town hall with Kamala. And I'm gonna put you on hold because maybe Charlemagne might take some of your questions on the side. But Charlemagne, I know you want to respond to him. Hold on, Tone. Yeah. The reason that the Georgeorge floyd policing act didn't pass

is because no republican supported the legislation the legislation did not advance in the senate like you know you gotta you gotta have bipartisan negotiations you know to get a lot of these bills did these bills pass and like between uh you know uh connor harris and cory booker and tim scott you know the bipartisan negotiations couldn't happen. So no Republican supported the legislation. It didn't advance in the Senate. But it's not like, you know, you didn't have a whole group of people led by now Vice President Kamala Harris that were trying to get the actual bill passed. Now, I do agree with Tom. What I always say is, you know, you know, why?

Why volunteer to lie? If you saw President Obama last week, one thing that he said, he said, look, man, we're not going to be able to get everything done. But I think the issue is when they. So, y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy

Alright, we'll get into that next, so don't go anywhere. I'm going to be nice today. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ A.V. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren La Rosa. Your news is real, brother. Your news is real. Lauren's Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying.

Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach and shit. With Lauren, Lauren La Rosa. I'm back. And I Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach and shit. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back.

And I got the mess. Talk to me. So Young Dro and T.I. were up here. They were here promoting Dro's new song, Thank God, that he has with Kirk Franklin. On that song, it talks about, you know, just his struggles with sobriety, getting over the, you know, struggles with sobriety and just where he is at now and during the conversation about sobriety uh when he was in here talking to us there was an incident that went down when one of his homeboys that was in here a comedian i'm out of atlanta uh named k dub let's take a listen to it actually i overdosed

i used this platform with the with the thank god to Yo I did. All of these things happened the overdose, my daughter was on drugs. Career wise I wasn't where I wanted to be What is this? What's up with you man? Hey you finna get slapped I mean we cool but I slapped the shit out of you by that oh man i'm just

i'm just telling you we cool now what you want to do you ain't gonna slap me what you want to do yeah don't let him take you out of here hey listen hey both of y'all oh y'all everybody came. Everybody came in and motherfucked with me. Hey, look. Remember who you came in and remember what we doing here, man. Come on, man. Let's get this shit together, bro. All right? Now, K-Dub did respond

to one of the comments. K-Dub is the guy that you hear. Comedian. He's a comedian. You hear Droid going back and forth before T.I. and T.I.'s manager, KP, intervene and try and calm it down. And someone basically commented

and said that it was foul for him to be laughing at the fact that Joe was talking about his daughter who was going through her own battle with drugs and Kate upset I wasn't laughing at his daughter I was still laughing at something that was said earlier so he wanted to clear that up but you know I think in the moment being here in the room I could kind of feel that Joe was it's new for him to be loudly talking about all of this stuff so I think in the moment he just you know the he felt kind of feel that dro was it's new for him to be loudly talking about all of this stuff so i think in the moment he just you know the he felt kind of it's it's not something he was yelling at the the the top of the mountains about and he talked about that like kind of being ashamed of it

so the i think the jokey jokes even the laughing at something prior to after whatever it got to him a bit i think we all were a little bit like whoa okay what's so funny and then it all that happened so as well that's one that's one of my worst fears laughing at something in my head when somebody's discussing something serious yeah that's that's why you gotta i guess you gotta really pay attention to the conversation but i mean it like that was just a friendly a little friendly kerfuffle you know i mean like you heard what joe said joe said we cool yes but i'll smack the not you and he was just just setting the boundaries with his friend. That's all.

He did. He did. And he later apologized for that during the interview. He did apologize. And they left with each other. They didn't fight or anything like that. They left with each other. Yes, absolutely.

the interview if you guys have not watched it or listened in full please make sure you go and listen he talked about overdosing three times and one of those times damani ti's son through in the interview if you guys have not watched it or listened in full please make sure you go and listen he talked about overdosing three times and one of those times damani ti's son is actually the person who found him and basically saved his life he performed cpr let's take a listen to that so damani was doing cpr yeah he almost broke my chest when i got when i was up and i was, I was like, my chest is killing me. It was like, ****, that's all I got. You was going to be dead. How old was Damani at that age?

He might have been 19. Wow. And you taught Damani CPR? No, we all did. So back, you know, back, because my sister Precious, she used to have asthma attacks all the time. And so because she had asthma attacks all the time, and she was living in the house all the time we and we she was living in the house with her we never didn't want you know one of the kids actually somebody did did walk in while she was having an amatak and didn't know what to do and that what prompted us to get everybody some

cpr training that's crazy because i've been talking about that for a while and that's the reason i wanted to know because i'm like how did the money know cpr like there has to be a reason i don't know cpr i'm sure charlamagne doesn't. Do you know CPR? I was a flight attendant. You know CPR? Okay. No, just because you put your mouth on other people's mouths

doesn't make it CPR. I knew you was going to say that. You want to do mouth-to-penis resuscitation. That's what Envy would do. Envy, if I pass out in that studio, Envy's going right below my belt. He said mouth-to-mouth. Envy's going to go right below my belt.

You took it below the belt on your... Whoa. He's up. He's up. What is the trick? What is going on? Are you over there exploring some things? We can't see you this morning.

Why would I? He started it. You started it. I don't know what you're doing on that mic over there. That's fantasy. I don't know what's happening. I'm over here about to talk about really, you know, learning CPR. Hey, missus.

You over there out of breath. That's what you is. You need to relax. I've done CPR on the fake dummy thing before. I don't know why and I don't remember when though, but I remember learning how to do it. Yeah, I don't know. I know a little something.

I got to have my whole family learn just in case something happens when I'm not home or something happens to me with your kids. And T.I. was right. The fact that this whole family knows is a great thing. Yeah, I need to touch up on it. It's been a while. I do want to say though,

Drell was getting an outpouring of love as he should online. Monica's posted. We are all proud of you for sharing your story and your sobriety with the world in hopes of saving lives. You've always been a talented force. Many can't see you. Many can't see. Many can't see you. But that.

Oh, OK. Sorry. I'm talking about rap. Like, you can't see him as an artist. Is what she said. She left an S off of that. So that confused me. Many can't see you. But that's another conversation. Just know She's talking about rap. Like many can't see him as an artist is what she's trying to say. She left an S off of that. So that confused me. Many can't see you, but that's another conversation.

Just know the home team is proud. So, you know, we all are, you know, really proud of Joe. And as we were sitting in the interview, he's here for a reason still. So make sure y'all take a listen to the song. Check out the interview. And yeah, the moment happened, but everything's all good. He just turned his trial into a testimony, man. That's it.

That's all it is. He's turning his trial into a testimony. And's it. That's all it is. He's turning his trial into a testimony. And that's the beautiful thing of that moment, right? Even though that moment, you know, people like the drama of it all. When I watched that clip on a lot of different places yesterday, they played the whole clip and they played Drozd still telling his testimony as well. Right. You know, so even though you might have tuned in because you knew it was some drama you still got to hear dro's testimony so that's right that's how god works all right well that is just with the mess with laura rosa now when we come back we got front

page news morgan would be back and then ricky smiley will be joining us so don't go anywhere it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club la the Rose are filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. Now, salute to the Yankees and Mets. Both of them won yesterday. The Mets tied the series 1-1. The Yankees lead 1-0.

Now, last night on Monday Night Football, the Jets lost to the Buffalo Bills 23-20. Now, what up, Morgan? Hey, hey. So, what's up is that, you know, I heart landed a really good or really big interview. Vice President Harris will sit down for an interview with Charlemagne, the God, in an effort to get black voters out to the polls. Now, the radio interview is set to take place in Detroit, Michigan. Of course, it's a key swing state that Harris would like to see vote Democrat and stay blue. That interview is set for 5 p.m. Eastern and it will broadcast and stream on 130 iHeart stations nationwide.

So make sure you download that iHeartRadio app. Now, Charlamagne, are you excited about that? Yeah, I mean, you know, I look forward to talking to the VP, you know, for folks who may be new here. Like, you know, we've been having conversations with the VP for a long time. Like, you know, when she was a senator, she came to the Breakfast Club in 2018. When she was running for president, you know, she came to the Breakfast Club in 2020. When she was VP, she was on my late night talk show, The God's Honest Truth.

So, you know, now that she's running to be at the top of the ticket, yeah. You know, we're sitting down having another conversation. And it's just not even just to get black people out to vote. Let's not get it twisted. Black women and black men, we are the number one and number two voting bloc for Democrats of all time. This is to get the white people energized as well. Because that's who we really need to show up also. And people can also submit questions, right?

Yes. You can go to the Talk Back feature on the iHeartRadio app. All you have to do is go to the Breakfastback feature on the iHeartRadio app. All you have to do is go to the Breakfast Club podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And you tap the mic, record your questions for Kamala Harris, hit send. And yeah, you might hear your voice during the conversation today at 5 p.m. Nice. Okay. So yesterday, Harris was, she held a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she went after

former President Donald Trump for his comments on health care. Now, she said she want she said that he wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, adding that that would threaten health coverage for 45 million people. Let's hear from Harris in Erie, Pennsylvania. And he has no plan to replace it. You guys watch the debate. Right. He has, quote, concepts of a plan. I think in our collective opinion, certainly mine, is an unserious man.

So the Democratic presidential nominee went on to say that these consequences of Trump ever being president again are brutally serious. He's an unserious man, but the consequences are brutally serious. Meanwhile, VP Harris sat down for an exclusive interview with Roland Martin, where she said the Biden-Harris administration has done a lot for black Americans. She spoke about how her policies in contrast to former President Trump will impact black Americans. And she bragged on the work she's done for black representation. Let's hear from uh... vp harris with roland martin having the lowest black unemployment it in recent history the work that we have done that has been about investing

in black businesses the work that we have done that is been about understanding the importance of having representation at every level including a black woman on the united states supreme Court for the first time. Your vote does matter. It is because folks voted that we have capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month, that we are on the path to doing what I intend to do, which is saying that your medical debt cannot be on your credit score.

She went on to say her housing affordability plan will help generations of black families, saying black folks have been denied the chance for home ownership due to a number of reasons. She went on to say one of the main drivers is the neighborhoods are being systemically undervalued by real estate appraisers. Part of her plan also includes up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first time home buyers. And she also spoke with Roland Martin about Trump's proposal to close the Department of Education, saying that would hurt black children specifically. Harris would also sit down for an exclusive interview

with Fox News soon. The network announced that Brett Baier will interview the presidential candidate. It'll air on Thursday at 6 p.m. Eastern from Pennsylvania, another key battleground state in this election. It'll be her first sit-down interview with Fox ever. And, of course, national polls have shown that a very tight race is between Harris and former President Trump.

So she is on a media blitz right now. Also, she is in the works with doing an interview with Joe Rogan, who is like one of the number one podcasters. He has 14 million or something like that followers. He's the number one podcast and by the way i love both of those press hits those are two press hits that i specifically was saying you know she should have been she should have did she definitely should have went on fox news a long time ago and mixed it up and she definitely should uh she should definitely sit with with joe rogan and i do want to salute man you know y'all should really go look up her

uh her plan for her blackmail agenda because it's a really good plan. And the only bad part about this plan is that everybody is going to think that this is a reaction to the foolishness that President Obama said last week. But this is not. Kamala, she's

been doing that kind of blackmail outreach since day one. Let's bring things home to New York. Governor Kathy Hochul and mayor adams they marched in yesterday's columbus day parade in new york city despite being indicted on federal charges mayor adams remains defiant in his ability to run the city um despite others feeling he should step down and of course governor kathy hokal also said in the parade that uh the parade gives a vote of confidence to Mayor Adams in cleaning house at City Hall. Let's hear the comments from them yesterday at the parade. If you could show me that input, then we could have that conversation.

But if we're just making this up because it sounds good and people didn't expect me to have this ability to continue to run this complex city, that's another thing. I had asked him to work to bring in new blood and new people to help stabilize the city calm it all down and he's doing that yep he's doing that and he's gonna stay 10 toes down and he said he's not stepping down but stepping up and that's your uh front page news i'm working with you over said two back in the day shut up man that's your front page news I'm Morgan Wood follow me on

We about to mess up so many people's heads because they're going to be in their car like, am I listening to the right station? We got the brother, Ricky Smiley, here. Welcome, brother. Man, thank you for having me, man. How you feeling?

Man, I'm feeling good, man. It's a dream to be here. Stop it. Bro, I lay in the bed, and I sit here, and I just scroll and watch all y'all videos. I've been a fan for years. Hold on. I want to say something before we get started

with the conversation. I saw Ricky a couple weeks ago. I saw him in New Orleans at the Inspire NOLA event. And I went up to him, and I said something that I gonna say now i want to i want to publicly apologize i'm just about to ask to ricky smiley because several years ago i gave ricky smiley donkey of the day because a radio executive asked me to yeah and you didn't deserve that brother thank you so i told when i saw you i i told you that you know and i wanted to say that again publicly because i feel like if you if you do something to somebody publicly that you don't agree with, you should publicly apologize for it.

So I want to I want to say that to everybody. All I listen to is I want to I want them to hear me say that you didn't deserve that. And I want to apologize to you. I appreciate that, man. The first time when you walked up on me, man, your energy, man, the love and the respect. It takes, you know takes a big person. I know that it was all part of the game because we have a mutual. One of your employees is one of my mentees. Who?

Big Mac. Mac. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mac started us as an intern. Oh, yeah. He started us as an intern and got to where he is. Well, I put him on stage. I'm the first one to put him on stage.

That's dope. We'll talk about that because I put a lot of them on stage. He gave a lot of comics their start. But I really appreciate that, man. And don't feel no kind of way about it. I didn't take it personally. But, you know, it takes a special kind of person to apologize and stuff like that. I thought nothing of it because if I thought anything bad, I wouldn't even be here.

All right. You know what I'm saying? But I love you. I appreciate you, man. I think you're doing a fabulous job. I met you at the White House. Yep. We see each other on the road every once in a while. I see you on the road as well. It's a pleasure meeting you.

That's right. Well, you got a new book out right now. Yes, sir. Side Show. Now talk about what's Side Show about? You know the song, Everybody Parent, Let the Side Show Begin. That's right. Hurry, hurry. It's about a sad clown, right? My job as a professional comedian is to go on stage and make people laugh.

And I lost my son about a year and a half ago. It's been hard because the bills don't stop coming. I'm still a performer. Right. I still have to go on stage. And I had to dig deep and get in some real deep therapy to get myself together so I can continue as a performer. Because if I worked at, you know, Amazon, lifting boxes or delivering packages, that's one thing. But when your job is to make people laugh, when you're crying on the inside with the trauma that I experienced, that's what the song Sideshow talk about.

See the man with the broken heart. You can see that he is sad it hurts so bad see the girl who collect uh broken hearts as souvenirs it's all about a clown in the circus performing but dealing with stuff on the inside i've watched you grieve out loud online and the only reason i don't i don't like that it has nothing to do with how you feel yeah i know how people react yeah and when you're already dealing with something, when you're already dealing with trauma, and then you give it to people online, then they come at you. How do you deal with that? Oh, no, it didn't bother me, Charlemagne.

My job was I had to help other people because the reason I was open with it is a lot of mothers out there that lost their 18 year old 17 year old 16 year old 15 my son was 32 i had a couple that had lost their two-year-old right and these are that's some of the things that i talk about in the book it gives you glimmers of hope and the glimmers of inspiration even during our traumatic times so my son was 32 with this couple sitting out here crying at my book sign their son son was only two. Wow. And I could have lost my son at two, but God allowed me

to have 32 years. So you get a little gratitude from that. So y'all, this is Questlove and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on

right i went to sunday school every sunday so i just have some some strong beliefs in a close relationship with god because uh it was nothing and nobody to lean on. I was in an apartment in Dallas, Texas by myself. You know, when I found out that my son passed and I had an hour and a half. I had an hour to make it to the airport. And I'm packing a bag and on the phone with my other kids, letting them know what happened. And trying to get myself together and preparing myself to lead because my family needed me. You know, it didn't really hit me until a year later. Right. But at that time, my son has a mother and a wonderful stepfather.

So I had to protect them. I had to protect my mother, who was really close to my son because my mother, know recovering addict my mother had 35 years clean had to protect her because they had a real special relationship because she could identify with his struggle then i had to protect my other kids i had two kids in college getting ready to graduate college you know my daughter that got shot uh she was a senior in college getting ready to graduate and then i had uh my son graduating alabama state and then I had my son graduate in Alabama State and then my oldest daughter so just trying to get them and being calm say hey here's what happened Brandon didn't make it I need you to meet me at the house immediately just real calm I need you to text me let me know that you're on your way text me when just all of that I had to be calm

I had to be cool I had to get in the car my uncles who was crying i had to turn the radio on the r&b station i had to turn on frankie beverly and maize go from the airport to house i'm comforting them because it reminded them of my dad's death so i'm just a child man that sat on the front row and watched my grandparents go through what they went through and uh through my grandfather i learned how to handle this situation because that's how my grandfather handled it as well losing somebody especially someone so close your son can't it changes you did you ever at first when you were trying to get to that like I mean I guess I get through it I don't know if you ever get through it fit where you are were you afraid that when you got back on stage that first time that like you just it wouldn't be the same like your ability

to kind of push through and make people laugh wouldn't be the same no you know one thing about funny it don't change that's right yeah you find something to laugh at especially in trauma yeah when your ass hit that stage man them jokes come them jokes like when you get somebody on the front row laughing my first show was in cleveland at the horrors casino and i cried from the hotel all the way to the venue all the way backstage blew my nose did like that made sure my nose was clean and walked on stage and got them jokes and cried after I got off stage and you know I was calm but I've been in therapy I was getting therapy twice a week so I was prepared to go on stage again my son died on a Sunday that Wednesday I was back on the radio they said take as much time as you need.

Well, either you lay in the bed and think about all of that, or you get your ass up and go do your morning show, go do your radio show, because all the mothers in Chicago and in Columbia and in Charleston and in Atlanta, all over the country, their kids died too. Much is given, much is required. You can't cancel the show.

God put you in this position and put you in a leadership position. You have to lead. And I still went to the Salvation Army like I do on a regular basis. I fed the homeless with my son's clothes in the car to go to the funeral home. That was a dark Wednesday. I'll never forget it. You have to do it. All of this stuff, and I don't want you to ever forget this.

All of this stuff, Andy, is a test. It's a test. Our pastor has been teaching us that for years. God is watching you through your struggles, through your trials and tribulations, and looking at you, seeing how you're going to handle this. Are you going to make it about you? Are you going to use this situation to help other people? But I was still smart enough to go ahead and get the help that I needed in the process because i had to get therapy because this trump is a bad car accident all right we got more with ricky smiley when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody

it's dj and v just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking in with ricky smiley charlamagne how has it been like you know because when you write these books you put a lot of you know you put your most vulnerable, deepest thoughts into these books. And you've got to go out here and do this. Yep. You've got to have these conversations. Yeah. How's that been for you?

I've gotten used to it. Okay. You know how it is. Once you do one interview, you do another interview, you keep doing interviews, you just get accustomed to talking about it. And then you develop some really good talking points that's going to help other people because what people have been telling me is the feedback that i've been getting is hey uh bruh it's been helping me out you know how many people walk up to me and said that they lost a loved one and they can't talk about it and just because they hear you on the radio every morning

now they're coming out to your book sign i have people walking up crying almost 90 of the people that come out about a book have suffered a loss and can't talk about it and do not go to therapy so i've been promoting therapy because when you roll your ankle you don't pull out a bible you go to the doctor the doctor that's right absolutely the muscle the brain is a muscle just like your ankle. Why is it that we black folks as a stigma that we won't go get help? That don't mean that you're crazy. You have to get somebody and talk to somebody that's going to help you process those feelings and emotions because you can go into depression, start affecting other organs in the body. Some people don't make it from their loss. They die. You know, a lot of times people, you know, we've been taught as kids, you keep home home business in the body some people don't uh make it from their loss they die you know so a lot of times

people you know we've been taught as kids you keep home home business in the house right you never really talk about what happens inside your house but like you said that winds up killing you absolutely that depression that anxiety all those facts all those feelings every time you cry in me do you know that's like popping the cap off of a pressure cooker you release it yeah i cried this morning yeah man i sat on i sat on the side of my hotel bed i was having some anxiety i called a good friend of mine she answered the phone when i heard her voice i just started crying bro i just let it out i just cried i just needed to just cry it was i felt it building up yesterday and i just started crying in the changing of the seasons

you know uh that that affects you you know did you ever think about just giving away just stopping you know like i don't want to do this anymore was that ever a mind no man we we got to save people man listen some have to die so others can live you understand you know no cross no crown bro we have to go through what we have to go through and we have to talk about it and i'm just trying to break the generational curse of number one not talking about it not going getting therapy and getting help and to talk about uh drug addiction i had a son and a nephew age 32 and a niece i had a niece a son a nephew all died at age 32 within two years of each other can you talk a little bit about that like just in real time when they were

here dealing with the addiction and trying to help them through it and like also wanting them to get better but addiction understanding that like it kind of takes over where it's not it's not even just them anymore like it's kind of it's a big beast yeah the only thing i regret i didn't have a good understanding of the illness because i had a niece and a nephew that was cool and calm and respectful but it didn't affect my son that way you know my son would go off about stuff you know and um it damaged our relationship or whatever because I didn't understand like hey I'm your dad you can't say that to me you know I'm driving around looking for you to fight you in the middle of the street you know I raised you I cooked food for you you know I'm saying I washed your clothes you slept in the bed with me when it's thunder and lightning don't say that to me you know so i just didn't

have a clear understanding of that but i did everything i could to to save to save his life would you do anything different as a dad during any of those times and reason i'm asking you know i have six so i like to that's that's a good question uh i wasn't tough on him he was the one that i coddled i was tough on my other kids like i like the other kids was like i was just really really really really tough on them and he was the one that i just kind of coddled and did everything for and took it because that's my first born i just wish that i was tougher i know that sounds strange because it sounds like i should say I should have been easier on him. I was easy on him.

I should have been tougher on him like I was the other kids. In chapter 12 of your book, it's Let the Tears Fall. You said that it took you a year for all of this to really like hit you. Yeah. What was that day like when you were like, I'm feeling it like that first time where man that one year anniversary a few days before that one year anniversary man it hit me like he had just died i had just got off the air i was down in south florida because i didn't want to be in the house for that one year anniversary i just wanted to go get away and uh man it hit me man and i was i did some crying i think it was a bad mistake for me to be there by myself. But I just kind of sat on the couch and just cried pretty much for a couple of days.

Like, like really cried because the only difference was I didn't have a casket and some flowers and some condolences. I had all of that to keep me distracted when it actually happened. I had to protect everybody. But that one year came in and it was like it was terrible. What about the chapter when addiction Addiction Chases the Bloodline? Was that difficult to write? Because you've got to go through your whole generational lineage with that. Was that a difficult chapter to write?

No, it was just being open and honest. My dad struggled. My mom struggled. I had wonderful grandparents. My granddad taught me every day. Church, Sunday school. You know, hey, here's a trumpet. Play that. Here's some trumpet play that here's some

piano lesson let's go do that i did trumpet lily football did it all my grandparents kept me busy with the discipline and instruction talked to me every day so i didn't have to um i didn't have those issues and then he always talked about how my dad died so don't do this so i just stuck with it and to this day i don't drink or smoke i always wonder how grief impacts people who lost their parents at a very very very young age does it hit you later in life oh you see somebody out with their parents and it hits you like what is it it did when i was when i was a kid but what hurt me about my dad's death was watching my grandparents cry like that on the front row i'm'm in therapy for that. That comes up in therapy.

That wipes me out. That wipes me out more than my son's death. Why? I'm a grandmama's baby. You understand. You're from the South. Watching my grandparents cry like that on their front row, man, I can't get over it. Even when my grandparents died, the only thing I could think about, their casket was in the same spot my dad's casket was in. The only thing I could think about was

them crying on that front row, April the 11th, 1974. I will never forget it, man. It just tears my soul out of my body. I can deal with my son in death, but that's what I struggle with more than anything. Wow. And that's why I didn't cry at my son's funeral

because my granddaughter was watching me and I don't want to traumatize her like that. Dang, boy. Yeah. I'm about to cry now just sitting up here talking about this. We about to all start crying. I just want to hug you. Well, let's talk about something else for a second. You put on a lot of comedians, Ricky, and I think that coming from the South, right,

I don't think people realize how big you are sometimes. You know what I'm saying? I don't think they realize how much money you got, number one, but also how rich you are and just how big you are and i think it's it's almost a stigma with comedians from the south like they don't get the respect that they deserve i think i just do it for the love of the art charlamagne envy i remember cussing d ray davis out uh snatching a drink out of his hand because he was too young to be drinking hey give me that you know i had a little comedy club back in birmingham so i would have like d-ray cory hokum cory hokum was like hey man

ain't never been outside of chicago i was like okay cool let's go on the road you know i would take those guys on the road cory hokum d-ray davis a lot of them man that that uh tyler some of them have passed away uh you know i would just take them on the road and help them because that's what steve did for me you know nobody have to don't nobody have to food you know what i'm saying some people can just ignore you steve was one of those guys man that was helping in training coming down i started november the 13th 1989 wow that's the first time i went on stage i met steve uh before he did showtime at the Apollo. Steve's anointed, man. Oh my God. I don't care what nobody says.

You know after the show, he said follow this car right here. I followed him back to his hotel room. I sat on the edge of the bed and took a little notepad and a pencil and he lectured me for about two hours. But that was something. That was life changing. Alright, well don't move. We got more with Ricky Smiley when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club

Good Morning. Good morning everybody. It's DJ and v jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club lauren larosa's filling in for jess and we're still kicking in with ricky smiley lauren now you were talking about steve harvey and how he gave you opportunities i want to know who do you do that for that i mean because you talk a lot about people that you mentor and that you help but like who's somebody that you do that for that like we might not know about that might have started in your clubs or just unknown and now it's like taking over comedy wise oh man uh little duvall was somebody that i that i have a real good relationship with that i was doing some you know mentorship because remember i was the host of coming view in 2000 so you was a lot of people mentored just by being on that show right right that's what uh that's what 85 they told me i'm tripping like like carlos miller was like

uh bruh i met you when i was 14 years old you was in a hotel i got excited i'm hearing these stories and stuff man not realizing the impact on company because i'm on bet monday through saturday right like when when comic view really blew up it was in atlanta and then i hosted again charlamagne 2004 and then the year after 2000 2001 i had my own little tv show the way we do it that's the first time you know and i was doing all these characters and all these voices and and all this kind of stuff so when comics needed help and needed mentorship i would always you know hey hey, dress nice. Hey, stop cursing.

Does that curse word make that joke funny? Are you cursing just to be cursed? That's a real thing. I just had that conversation with a comic. I say, hey, man, you curse too much. The cursing is not making the joke funnier. But if the curse word is a part of the punchline, then use it. I say because it's like i give the onion

example like it like you eat an onion it's nasty but if you take it and chop it up and saute it and put some flour on it you're still eating the onion but you can't taste it that's right it's just an analogy that i use with comics and i make them redo the joke and that's like damn you did the same joke and got the same laugh got a bigger laugh because people are not offended. Now there was a rumor that in your contract it said that you had to wear a dress. Oh man I don't pay that stuff. God damn man.

You just bitten to the onion. You ain't putting a flower on your head. You ain't sauteing or nothing. So I then I started doing comedy in 89 man You think there's a contract somewhere I'm just messing with you

That didn't bother me What bothered me was people believed it Oh yeah they did Because it's always been that thing about the wear the dress The not wear the dress It's comedy Listen it's comedy I grew up watching Flip Wilson

Flip Wilson is the greatest of all time. And right when you're laughing at Flip Wilson, he turned around and do Geraldine. Me and my grandma would sit there and watch that with my grandmother. My characters came, man, I was doing prank phone calls on the radio. I was doing Bernie Jenkins. And whoever would have thought a character that you do on the radio, calling funeral homes and all this stuff, turn into a character and somebody asks you to on the radio calling funeral homes and all this stuff turn

into a character and somebody asked you to play the character in a movie you know it's funny that all that stuff is is is taboo now he felt like he was clearing the record on shea because i think he or was it that he was supposed to play a role you said he might be a money mike or something well well i did uh when i went out there i auditioned for that part and uh that's what i really auditioned for i didn't audition for the s Claus. If I'm not mistaken, the Santa Claus role was supposed to be for what's his name? He played in the first Friday, the comedian that passed away.

Oh, AJ Johnson. AJ Johnson. I think AJ Johnson was supposed to play the Santa. This is what I heard. They put me in that role because at that time I was on BET and stuff like that, but I did audition for it. That's what I went out there and read that role because at that time I was on BET and stuff like that. But I did audition for it.

That's what I went out there and read for. My manager at the time came on the air, cleared that up. But Cube clarified it too. I said that you did audition for Money Mike. But when they saw how you moved, they thought you'd be better for Santa Claus. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I don't have no beef.

I love everybody. If there is an opportunity to resolve, the rap beef and stuff with rappers getting killed, I don't want comedy to ever come to that. You know, that's not what I do. That's not how I was raised. You know, we from the South. That's right.

And we just don't, we don't do that. What do you love more, stand-up or radio? Oh, God. Man, that's a good question. Radio don't give you butterflies radio is just sitting here like right now I'm comfortable it's cool or whatever stand up gives you a little bit of

anxiety because you got to perform you got to go out there people pay money to see you perform but my stand up is being great I'm probably funnier than I've ever been I got a special coming out we in negotiation with Kevin Hart right now to release a comedy special. I love that for you.

Oh, yeah. I haven't done a comedy special in like 12 years. Wow. But it's funny as hell. It look good. It's going to be funny. It's going to be all over the place. Recently shot stuff?

Yeah, just recently shot it. Okay. Yeah. I paid for it myself, and I just went on stage and killed a ass. So I'm really excited about that and what made you uh I mean Kevin Hart is Kevin Hart but a lot of people go to Netflix too like how did you decide where you were gonna who was gonna how's it well we're gonna we're gonna see we in negotiation now because I just did an interview with Kevin Hart and uh he asked me about it

like I just shot one I said you want to you want to uh present it okay so you started that yeah yeah he's a good friend of mine. I absolutely love him. Great dude. Great dude. Kevin, man. Jamie Foxx. All of them have been good to me my whole career. I didn't know Eddie Murphy was a fan.

I met Eddie Murphy at his house or whatever. Went over there one day. I had a meeting with Tracy Edmonds. I think they were dating at the time. And she said, Ed, play your prank phone calls around. I was like, you lying. Are you serious? And I ended up going over there.

And there was some comics over there. And we had barbecue chicken, collard greens, cornbread, macaroni and cheese. God damn. It was like we had some real soul food. And that was my first time meeting Eddie Murphy, man. That was a pleasure. So when you get to do stuff like that. And I'm on tour with Martin Lawrence right now.

So that's my big brother. The funny thing is you talk like you're not one of them. Yeah. You in that conversation? I'm just humble, man. I kind of still feel like I'm kind of like just still young and in the game because I feel young and in the game.

And I know I'm a little older and stuff and trying to coach younger comics. And I just kind of sit back and not try to do too much, but I just try to make sure when I do do something that is special and that is awesome and that is funny. And my karaoke nights sell out faster

filed out of that 120 um group lawsuit thing that was supposed to happen on behalf of tony busby and his legal offices that's the attorney that held that big press conference basically telling people you know if you've had any issues with Sean Combs or anyone related to him to give them a call because they would represent you so in these filings these six filings there are two women that filed as Jane Doe's and there are four men that filed as Jane Doe's now one one of the women that filed says that she was on the set of biggie's one more chance video when her head was she alleges her head was slammed against the wall and then she was allegedly raped the second woman says she was one of two women who were sexually assaulted allegedly by diddy after a photo shoot for his group the band and she alleges that she was made to perform oral sex

or she was threatened that she would be killed now in another lawsuit there is a man that claims he was working for echo clothing line back in 2008 and he knew diddy kind of in passing because diddy at the same time was building and marketing sean john now in may 2008 this man is claiming that he ran into diddy and three bodyguards in the stock room of Macy's flagship store in New York and that someone pistol whipped him from behind so they pistol whipped the back of his neck and he fell to his hands and knees.

He then says, he then claims that Diddy approached him and said I don't think I can say this. What is it? Is it technical? Is it criminal terms? You can say SMD. Oh, Diddy approached him and said SMD Echo

he called him Echo because that's the brand that the home he allegedly worked for Echo the clothing line Echo yeah so Diddy allegedly approached him

and said that and then he gave him a nickname yeah he called him the clothing line that he was working for because they were competing brands

is what the lawsuit says oh and then this man alleges that Diddy brutally orally raped him Jesusesus now in another lawsuit in macy's in the stock room allegedly stupid man in another lawsuit a man claims that he was working for he was working security for diddy's 2006 white party and he alleges that when he got

there he had a drink and that the drink was laced with either gbh or and ecstasy um he also alleges that when he got there, he had a drink and that the drink was laced with either GBH or and ecstasy. He also alleges that Diddy, after, you know, he started to get disoriented a bit, forced him into a van, overpowered him and allegedly sexually assaulted him. He inserted his male private area into the man's behind area and Sodom. I can see. Let me see see can i say this one yeah you can say that and sodomize him allegedly um this man also alleges that the rape resulted in i can i say this is what results from two two people interacting sexually charlamagne i love that go ahead okay so this man also alleges that the rape resulted in semen linking leaking out of his body now another man what happened you're trying to be funny what are you doing i hear you little i hear you little

comments you can't never shut up because if that was if she was talking about women you wouldn't be making these little snide remarks nobody ever takes it serious when it's a man we can't see you we can't see you in a skybox. So you got to let us know if you all right over there. Go ahead. Okay. So another man alleges that he went to a diddy party

in October 2021. He became disoriented after one drink allegedly and the room started spinning. He says next thing he knew he woke up in a bedroom and he felt paralyzed. He alleges that three men

sexually assaulted him through sodomy and other forced acts. He sayses that three men sexually assaulted him through sodomy and other forced acts. He says, allegedly, that he distinctly recalls seeing Diddy naked above him.

Naked above him during one part of the assault. It's not funny, Lauren. It's not funny. But you... I can't do this with you. When it comes to men, nobody takes it seriously.

No, you don't see how Envy is sitting here and looking like... I don't want to see him. I'm glad you can't because comes to the men, nobody takes it seriously. No, you don't see how Envy is sitting here. I'm trying not to look at him. I'm glad you can't because he's making this really difficult. This is disgusting. I'm disgusted. I don't know what is going on with your face. Don't look at me.

So Diddy's attorneys, I'm sorry, wait, there's one more minute and I'll talk about Diddy's attorney's response. So Diddy's attorneys are responding to all these different allegations, but there's one last person, a 16-year-old, or a man who says he was 16 years old at the time, when he went to a Diddy white party in the Hamptons, and this is back in 98. Now, he alleges he was there.

Him and Diddy took a photo together. The photo is in the lawsuit. They're just standing in all white in the middle of like a, looks like a lawn or something. He says that him and Diddy, during the party, stepped away to have like more of a private conversation because this person at the time was trying to work in music and he says that he alleges that Diddy was telling him stuff like this guy has the right look for the industry he can be made a star with Diddy's help and then he claims that Diddy allegedly told him to drop his

pants so he can inspect his private areas now he says that diddy allegedly said to him this is a rite of passage something he had to do in order to break into the industry uh the man says that he then drops his pants and he alleges that diddy began to cup and squeeze and this was expecting penises is crazy this is crazy don't make any sense that's insane now diddy's this team is firing back at this and they're saying that all of this is bs that this is all being done including that big press conference that um tony busby's team had this is all being done to garner publicity um and they're saying in court the truth will prevail and that mr combs has never sexually assaulted anyone adult or minor man or

woman this is great another day another day but that's the same thing they said when Cassie made her allegations. You know, Diddy has never done X, Y, and Z. And then the video dropped. You know what I'm saying? But what's the statute of limitation when it comes to assault? Because you said the one person was assaulted in the One More Chance video, which was 1994. That was a woman. A woman.

So that was 30 years. So the statute of limitation is never over when it comes to those things i'm just curious because i thought i i saw a difference wasn't there like an act or something that allowed for a lot of these i thought that was for sexual assault not for just regular so because she said no she said she was oh sexual assault as well oh wow she said she was raped i can also do wonder about go ahead i wonder about the the uh the man in the stockroom too because if this man got pistol whipped from the back and penis whipped in the mouth in the stockroom in macy's there should be camera footage right because there's camera there's cameras in

these stockrooms right it should be in a maze yeah but if they still have the footage for 30 years ago that's a long time like some of these cases like the guy that said somebody put something in his drink like how would they know like they don't have that drink from 30 years ago to test to see if, if something was actually in his drink. It's just, it's hearsay. A lot of it, you know?

So the Macy's case was from 30 years ago. Yeah. The Macy's case. Let me go through all the cases. The Macy's case was in, it had to be when echo was 20 years ago, right? He said this was made 2008,

May, 2008. Yup. he said he's working for echo clothing line in 2008 when he ran into 15 years yeah he ran into them in um the stock room i wonder if they keep the the footage and things like that for that long i wonder i don't know how you prove any of this but i did it was it was to me i was wondering like of all 120 people how do you know that this six are the first to file so i did reach out actual evidence right because you you would need hard evidence to see what it was yeah i did reach out to tony busby's team to ask the question just because i'm trying to understand more of that as

well too so yeah you know tomorrow we'll be back with more and what did he say he hasn't gotten back to his team hasn't gotten back to me yet yes all right all right well thank you for just with the mess for long roll. So, Charlemagne. I need a wall right here. Yes. Who are you giving that donkey to? We need Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owen Sr. to come to the front of the congregation. Would you like to have a word with him, please?

All right. We'll get to that next. So, don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a reason? He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it.

You need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. It's time for donkey of the day. It's a read, but you're so good at it.

You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. You're the only one Charlemagne to go. Damn Charlemagne, who you give the donkey of the day to now? Well, sexy red donkey of the day for Tuesday, October 15th goes to a Cobb County Sheriff named Craig Owens Sr. Now, I want the record to show that I believe in body cameras on police officers. Why do I believe in body cameras on police officers? Because of transparency and evidence.

Okay, body cameras provide an objective record of police interactions with we the people. Okay, which can help build trust and accountability. Or it can make us distrust officers more because oftentimes we see police doing us dirty on the body cameras and there's still no accountability even though as i said before body cameras are supposed to serve as evidence because body camera footage can be used to verify witness and officer testimony and as evidence in criminal cases but more often than not the footage doesn't lead to anything happening to officers criminally okay it helps folks get paid in civil cases sometimes uh you know what i just changed my mind i have no idea why i believe in body cameras but i would

rather police officers wear them anyway but today is a prime example of why body cameras don't really change anything because some police officers simply don't care. And Craig Owens Sr. is an officer who doesn't care. Because Craig Owens Sr. is an abuser of power. He is going to abuse that power regardless of who's watching. And that's exactly what Craig Owens Sr. did. Abuse power. See, abusers always want to have it their way. And one of the greatest places to have it your way is Burger King.

Is that still Burger King's slogan? You have to forgive me. I was born in 1978. So when I think my way, I think Burger King, Frank Sinatra and Usher. So, kids, if you have no idea what I'm currently talking about, ask your mother and your father. But have it your way was the slogan for Burger King back in the day. I don't know what Burger King slogan is now. But Craig Owen Sr. is an old head, a sheriff who abused his power because he went to

burger king and he was highly upset that he couldn't have things his way see craig owens senior went to burger king and he ordered a whopper no mayonnaise cut in half and well burger king got his order wrong and after burger king got his order wrong this is what sheriff craig owens senior decided to do let's go to WSBT-TV Atlanta for the report, please. You're watching from the vantage point of three Cobb County deputies who showed up after Sheriff Craig Owens called them to Burger King. Hey, do me a favor.

All I need is the owner name of whoever owned this damn spillage to other managers. He tells the deputies Burger King's staff got his order wrong. I'm on a order of Whopper with no mayo, cut and add, right? Three deputies go King staff got his order wrong. Three deputies go to the door and they were so concerned that they locked the doors. Staff give the deputies names and they bring it out to the sheriff. The video is from 2023.

Sheriff Craig Owens is running for reelection this year and his opponent, David Cavender, first posted it online overnight. I think it is an abuse of power. Mike Donalinger is running as chief deputy and called it intimidation and a waste of resources. If I don't get ketchup on my whopper, do I get to call police officers with sirens? The sheriff argues he never told staff his position in power and never asked deputies to do anything they would not do for anyone else no i just told him it was the guy out in the truck if he did that for burger king imagine what he would do for chick-fil-a sheriff craig owen senior went to burger king ordered a whopper no mayonnaise

cut in half and when they got his order wrong he called back up he called his deputies to pull up to get the manager's information there's nothing i love more than the audacity of humans we are a ridiculous species okay no wonder aliens hide from us you know how when you don't want to be seen you don't want to speak to nobody you just try to creep in and creep out try to stay low that's how extraterrestrials treat us and i don't blame them okay this is the sheriff the boss the chief law enforcement officer if aliens came back and said, take me to your leader, this is one of the people they would take them to in Cobb County. Okay, this man

is a chief law enforcement officer for a county, and he didn't get his whopper, no mayo, cut in half, so he called his deputies? Cobb County, y'all must be the safest place in America. Okay, if this is a pressing issue for your sheriff, I mean, there must not be no real crimes being

committed in Cobb County. Cats don't climb trees anymore. Nobody pig got out the pen. No goats wandering the Cobb County streets. Huh? You mean to tell me that things are so sweet in Cobb County that an officer can call deputies to a Burger King just so he can get to manage his name because they didn't get his order

right? This man done traumatized the whole staff of burger king employees they in the burger king locking the door scared to death because they don't know why y'all coming in here so deep and y'all coming in there deep because your leader didn't get a whopper no mayo cut in half he didn't even ask for cheese bro i know why you didn't ask for cheese too because you lactose intolerant like me that cheese will bring your bowels to a complete stop and give you a little dairy pimple or two. So I feel your pain.

And I really don't have anything left to say here except for let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is. All right. Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owen Sr. called his deputies for backup because he didn't get his whopper. No mayo. Cut in half. DJ Envy. Guess What Race It Is. What's his Whopper. No mayo. Cut in half. DJ Envy. Guess what race he is. What's his name again?

Craig Owens Sr. That's the middle one. Craig. Hey, Craig. Let's go white. Lauren La Rosa. Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens Sr. called his deputies for backup

because he didn't get his Whopper. No mayo. Cut in half. Guess what race he is. I think I'm going to go white too. Well, DJ Envy, Lauren LaRosa, I am here to tell you that both of you are absolutely, positively, 100% wrong. Wow. Sheriff Craig.

I don't know. The senior, I was like, that sounds very Southern Baptist. I feel like black people would have went to probably like Chick-fil-A,

McDonald's. Burger King still. First of all, I didn't tell you what he is yet. Oh, you're right. You're right. My bad. Sheriff Craig Owens Sr.

is black. Down, you're right, you're right, you're right. Sheriff Craig Owen Sr. is black. Down, down, down! But this clearly wasn't another moment. Okay. Niggas gonna nag. Please give Sheriff Craig Owen Sr. the biggest hee-haw, please.

Let me tell you something about Sheriff Craig Owensenia He's up for re-election And if I'm in Cobb County I'm not re-electing him Until I know the rest of his order Okay, a Whopper cut in half with no mayo is great But back in the day I would get an original chicken sandwich From Burger King with cheese

Okay, fries and a chocolate milkshake Whoppers hit too Okay, but before I was lactose intolerant I would get that Whopper With cheese Okay extra pickles Alright Fries

A chocolate milkshake Milkshake I actually used to like Onion rings Onion rings yes And the onion ring sauce Y'all don't like The long chicken sandwich

The long chicken sandwich Makes like a whole That's the original chicken sandwich That's the vegan chicken sandwich I don't like that Put a little cheese on it That's what I'm talking about Also cats

Cats do still get stuck in trees i was looking it up oh really at harlem cat stuck in a tree for five days in harlem damn you gotta dip those fries in the milkshake too some people get a hershey pie some people get onion rings some people get the the chicken fries i have to hear a person's whole order. So I would encourage the good folks of Cobb County to find out what Sheriff Craig Owen's senior whole order is before you cast your votes in the next election. That's my advice to you. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Yeah, that's crazy.

Listen to Black Lit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast about the event uh it seemed online it was amazing the conversations were great people left with a lot of uh great wisdom so tell people how it got together and how this year came about first i'm just gonna say tyrese that's what i'm gonna say tyrese like turned it out um but i think overall it's char's vision, born out of

Charlemagne, iHeart, the Mental Wealth Alliance. I just help put things together. You facilitate. Yeah, I just help facilitate. And really, it's our fourth annual event. It's a day of people coming together. They get to see celebs and influencers and people with lived experience talking about black folks' mental health

and all of our mental health. And I think really, it takes a while to pull it together because you've got to coordinate schedules. You've got to figure out what are the topic areas. You know, this year we had something a little different, an intergenerational mental health panel. So we had people from Gen X and millennials and Gen Z talking about it. And then we had the men's panel, the women's mental health panel, you know, healing in the public eye. And then we ended it all together with mr jason wilson and tyrese and so it was just it was phenomenal you had vendors booths there was just so many opportunities for people to find

different ways to tap into their mental health and healing it was interesting to see uh even when you talk about the intergenerational panel like uh khalib foster point guard at duke university he was on that panel who else was on that panel with him uh morgan noble who happens to be my daughter who's an honor student at howard university uh mahmoud keder yep uh he was just all of them were so powerful and it was uh moderated by your buddy elliot connie yeah yeah that was that was an interesting conversation another thing i noticed this year was a lot more young people there yes yes it was and i think you, young people are the ones driving the conversation. You know, we old heads.

I feel like we're kind of following in their footsteps. But they're the ones who are really pushing us to talk about these things. And so with that panel, I also want to shout out Dr. Joseph, who was on that panel. It was wonderful to get the young people's perspective, right? Because I feel like a lot of times young people feel like we talk at them yes we don't talk with them and we don't listen um and so we had an opportunity yesterday to do all of that to really listen uh particularly that intergenerational panel where it was a lot of young people on there that's crazy I had a

conversation with my grandmother yesterday and I was like mama why do you always talk at me and like why are you always coming for me like why can't we just like talk and then we started talking and I realized like that's her way of showing love she doesn't mean it to be harmful and then I started thinking like well maybe this is why I'm always so defensive because I'm used to that I was like man but you know older people too it's like you always feel like you don't want to be disrespectful right when you say certain things so I think you know is your background Caribbean at all no at all? No, but I get that all the time. Yeah. Well, I think it's like some of it is, you know, like my dad's a baby boomer.

My dad's 82. Shout out to my dad. There is something about that generation. I always tell people they were like surviving. Yeah. They couldn't thrive. And so to get to their the big ages they are now and to be asked to kind of take a step back and listen. You know, they grew up.

Children are seen and not heard. Yes. You know what I mean? Like you don't talk unless you're spoken to. And so I think it's hard for them to make that transition. It's not impossible. My dad has really made a transition, but you got to have a will for that. And a lot of times people just don't, I don't think they know how to do it.

That's right. I wanted to ask you about love, right? Do you think that love is a lost form in relationships that's really affecting people's mental health and what made me think about that is a young lady I can't remember her name she was doing an interview and they asked about the relationship and she was like do I look like the type of girl that would pay 50 50 like look at my looks right and everything was based on looks and I feel that hurts people especially young people's mental because when they hear things like that I think a lot of times I think a woman might say well well, how come my relationship is not like that?

I'm fishing for that relationship could be a reason that that women or men as well are single because they're looking for something that is not there or doesn't exist. It's almost like they're looking for the wrong thing. And I think that can cause a deeply depression. Do you see that a lot with talking to the younger generation at all? I see. So my daughter's here. Morgan's here. She a lot with talking to the younger generation at all? I see. So my daughter's here. Morgan's here. She knew I was going to do it. She's already grinning.

And Morgan is 20. And I see some of this through the conversations that I have with her and her peer group. Also, because I run the Acoma Project, I talk with young people a lot, my nonprofit. And I don't think the concept is new. I think what's new is that we're fed it constantly so you can see it much more readily. I think that's always been there. Right. I grew up with people.

My grandmother literally be like, he got to bring that check home or you shouldn't be dating him. And that comes from my grandma. Like, yeah. So your grandma, young Miami, your grandma did not say you got to bring that check home. I promise y'all, my grandmother from as long as I can remember would always be like, a man should be bringing that check home. And my mom used to be like, if you're dating someone, he doesn't have a job. You don't date him and he's not allowed in his house. By the way, I agree with that.

Because men, you know, men be like, what does a woman bring into the table? Women are the table. Like everything you're doing, you're doing to impress this woman. You're wearing these nice clothes. You're getting this. We had this conversation. You're getting this. You want to drive a nice car because're doing to impress this woman. You're wearing these nice clothes. You're getting this. We had this conversation. You're getting this. You want to drive a nice car because you want to impress the woman.

Not to the point where a woman is saying. That's the only way you can get with me. Correct. Yeah. So I think it's. I think it depends on how you look at gender roles. I'm not even going to get into all that. But I do think there's something to be said for the concept of who qualifies for love.

Like who deserves love and what love looks like. Love is not the stuff. One of the things I love about Jason Wilson is he talks about like the constraints that we put ourself under that we don't have to like he calls it what is like emotional incarceration, I think he says. And I think to your point, Envy, what my perspective is, if you are comfortable with who you are, somebody bringing you stuff is not the thing that's going to sway you in a relationship. That's right. Right. And my mom, she's deceased, but she used to say two halves don't make a whole in a relationship.

You want two whole people to come together to form a whole relationship. And so I think it's really about do I love myself enough to know? I always tell people I'm worthy exactly as I am. And I don't want to get like all metaphysical and hokey but it's true I'm worthy as I am and so I want a partner who also feels that he she or they are worthy as they are and if both of us are coming to the relationship with just a little bit of that I think it helps us get around some of that you got to buy me this I ain't paying no 50 because what's wrong with paying 50 50 like you're getting to know each other so and i'm not saying it got to be money or superficial i'm just

saying if a woman is going to be giving herself because that's what she's giving right yeah physically mentally spiritually emotionally she's giving you her like you and her body all that type of man cut some grass or something like you know i'm saying but isn? But isn't he giving up himself too? Yes. Just by showing up? Yeah. So, you know, if they can both show up, I'm not saying it's easy, but remember, in order for both of them to show up, they both got to know a little bit about themselves. And how many of us go through life with these blinders on,

like blind to ourselves? Like we don't know who we are. That's where self-love comes into play. Period. All right, we got more with Dr. Alfie Breland Noble. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Dr. Alfie Breland Noble. Lorna Rose is filling in for Jess. So I got a friend right now that's dealing with every time this person talks to somebody, everybody says you need to work on yourself and it's not the first time it's not the why you why'd you point over there she's laughing she's cracking up okay so

now this is so every time she talks to a gentleman the gentleman says you need to work on yourself before you can come back here not every single time wait the guys are saying this two guys i had two guys say but first of all their face but let me tell you something single time wait the guys are saying this two guys i had two guys but first of all your face but let me tell you something one of the guys his situation is so messed up he uses that to not have a real conversation about where he is for that's deflection so it's like i hear you but like we need to work together this has been a conversation that she's been having but i will say i was going to when you mentioned when asked Charlamagne, isn't the guy showing up too? Yeah.

That struck me because I feel like a lot of my friends and what I'm realizing about myself is that I wasn't raised as a woman to really see a man as a person that has to show up. I was raised as a woman that just, a man is there and he's like this structure. But he's not a person. Not even a check, but just like, he has to fight off the bad people. You know what I mean? woman that just a man is there and he's like this like structure but like he's not a person not even a check but just like he he has to fight off the bad people yeah you know what i mean but now that my little brother is getting older it made me realize like man how many times they like there are some self-accountability moments but how many times are am i not seeing this man as a person

yes one of the things i wanted to talk about at the expo that we didn't get to was this concept of do we know as people black people how to receive love that's right that was my struggle it came up during y'all panel but yes we like we cut it off yeah and so i'm gonna put jason on blast jason i want to have that conversation one day publicly but so in a nutshell what i had to do was recognize that I knew how to be present. I knew how to give to people. I didn't know how to let people give to me. Like my daughter would tell you, I still have a hard time accepting help. So I think is once I decided I wanted things to be different for me, then I had to decide like sort of what's the destination. I wanted to be a health. It sounds really kind of corny, but I wanted to be a healthier version of myself because my mom was always drilling into me.

Two holes make a whole relationship. Don't come into a relationship as half a person. Right. So that's what it was for me. I had to figure out how to be a whole person. And the things that helped me were Dr. McNeely, mindfulness, meditation, exercise. And I'm not big into journaling, but at the time I would do, I have like multiple journals. So I hope I'm answering your question, but that's what I would do I have like multiple journals so I hope I'm answering

your question but that's what I did I had to work on me now what's next for the mental welfare school because I feel like we do this every year yeah I feel like there's other things we should be doing throughout the year yeah so one thing we hope we're gonna be able to do is I don't I'm just not praying on it I'm hoping it's gonna happen do more than one that's my hope and um my hope is that we get to honor somebody's hometown with one of them I'm hoping we'd be able to do that yeah we've been talking I mean well you know the baby was there at the mental health expo this year he wanted to be a part of it he launched the baby care initiative and so yeah we've been talking about doing something in the Carolinas yeah so yeah that's right because he's

North Carolina yeah we used to live in North Carolina so that's one thing I think the other thing is we're going to continue to get bigger. We have some ideas already about what kind of panels we want to have. And so we're going to be reaching out. We're going to start reaching out to people soon to try to get on people's calendars early, our talent. To bring it, we're going to be reaching out to more vendors. I think we could have, hopefully, fingers crossed, a few more vendors at the venue and have more opportunities for things like breath work and yoga and meditation in some of the breakout rooms. And we just won't continue to follow your vision for the for the expo.

Absolutely. And, you know, one thing that we don't do, we don't you know, we are a nonprofit organization. Yes. You know, Mental Wealth Alliance dot org. We don't tell people that they can donate. Yes. And we really want people to do it so easy. You can follow the link in bio on the instagram page for the mental wealth alliance you can go to the website uh the qr codes on it it is so easy and you know it sounds like begging it kind of is but you have to understand that money that you donate goes to helping put things together like the expo where you're giving to thousands of people um and just trying to support everybody's investing in their mental wealth.

So we let everybody in free. That's it. You know, like we don't charge for the mental wealth. That's it. And that costs money. So if they invest in the Mental Wealth Alliance,

the Mental Wealth Alliance can help invest in their mental wealth. That's right. And they can, there's the content from the event is online and you can watch

the conversations. It will be. There's a lot on the Instagram page, Mental Wealth Alliance, Char, Tyrese, myself, some of the talent. We've all been posting stuff and eventually it's going to be it will be there's a lot on the instagram page mental wealth alliance char tyrese myself some of the talent we've all been posting stuff and eventually it's going to be on uh the youtube page you said tyree set it off what what was the conversation he was just well one thing he did that kind of had me cackling was he ripped the counter the timer he ripped it out the not he didn't

destroy it yeah he took the clock off the floor like i ain't paying attention to that clock and he was just very transparent like literally unplugged yes he kept looking at you like that clock ain't right we need more time he was hilarious but i think one thing that he did that really moved the crowd at the end it was a great way to end was he kind of encouraged people by saying like if you have something that you want to do right that maybe is going to help the world you need to go do it and he talked about what his thing was that he does um but he was really kind of pushing people um to go out and contribute and i'm not gonna say it like he said it because you know family friendly but if you're not going to do it then step to the side and let somebody else come do it

yeah well it was a phrase he had it was uh i'm the problem though if you the problem if you have a problem if you have a problem do something you have a problem, do something about it. Yes, right. Because he was like, so many people nowadays don't really be having a problem. They just either want to be a part of the conversation. Right. Or they just want to jump in on the jokes on social media. But if you actually have a problem, do something about it.

Yeah, that was it. It was a good way to end. Well, thank you for joining us this morning. That's right. How do they follow you, Dr. Alfie? How do they follow me?

And they said that they're being told that fans can expect a fresh experience while still hearing all of his favorite hits from his classics in the club, Candy Shop, 21 Questions, all that good stuff. So shout out to him that is 50 is a prime example of uh when you are grateful for what you have you

get blessed with more do you know he only started with two quarters literally two quarters and now look what he's built now that's amazing so that that's that's going to be in the casino and now on top of that i'm sure he's bringing the liquor to that casino too so the liquor is going to be throughout that casino as well. So it'll be way more than $15 million. So congratulations to Fifth. And some of y'all get way more greater hands up, but way more greater financial starts. That man started with five dimes.

OK, 10 nickels, two quarters. Now look at him dropping the clues bombs for 50 well in other news um speaking of settling deals uh dj mustard and his ex uh chanel have finally come to an agreement in their divorce now when they announced the uh divorce and just everything all the back and forth it was a really big story because they have been together for so so so so so long um and they also share kids together so his attorney uh filed documents um that kind of state what the settlement is so basically dj mustard is walking away with a ton of different cars that he owns including um his 2022 made back 2018 lamborghini um he's also

going to get his to keep his 19 his 1960 chevy impala impala four different motorcycles a couple of jet skis uh he's also going to get to hang on to the mansion that they owned in Chatsworth and some of the residential properties that they had in Semi Valley in Los Angeles. Now they do have three minor children together, so they will share jointly with custody of the kids. And Mustard is going to be paying her 24,000, a little over $24,000 a month, 24,500. So $24,500 per month in child support payments. How many kids do they have?

They have three kids. That's three kids, okay. That's honestly, you think that's too much for three kids, y'all know what I mean? $24,000 a month is still a lot of money.

I ain't talking about the kids. It don't got nothing to do with the kids. Kids got to eat. Kids got to live. I'm just talking about there's still a lot of money to be shelling out every month, period. It is.

And Chanel is also going to be getting a one-time buyout payment for support uh from dj muster in the amount of 315 000 and muster is going to get to keep the rights to his music catalog uh chanel hangs on to uh sleepover which is a pajama and loungewear company that she created and uh i think it's like a tesla that also is going to be hers as well too yeah so yes they got to pay us that's like through what three hundred thousand dollars a year plus three hundred thousand up front yeah 315 up front yeah so that's yeah you got that's for the children i'm sure there's somebody listening to us right now and they pay fifteen hundred dollars a month in child support and they thought that was a lot yeah okay well it's you know it's based on what you make and what you bring.

You got to act your way. There's an additional payment here. I've never heard of this, an equalization payment. So in addition to all of what we just talked about, they are making sure that Mustard is going to, because he's getting a real estate and most of the cars, he's going to be paying Chanel a one-time equalization payment to even things out for $275,000. I've never heard of an equalization payment to even things out for $275,000. I've never heard of an equalization payment. That's probably,

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Listen to what I just said. If you're going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. You got to be excellent with the so-called little things before you can be excellent with the so-called big things because excellence is not an exception. It is a prevailing attitude.
