That's right. Hopefully you guys are okay last night after hopefully taking the kids trick-or-treating. Or maybe you were out partying last night for Halloween. I feel like people wasn't really in the Halloween spirit last night. Like, I didn't... Did you see a lot of parents at all yesterday? I mean, I didn't see a lot of adults, you know, in costume. I felt like that too. So, you know how we played the costume game yesterday?

I felt like that yesterday because it was hard to find costumes. And then today, too, I feel like, I saw some posts, but, you know, normally people do an up for Halloween, like, posted on the timeline and all that. I didn't see much of that, either. I didn't see that, either. No, I didn't see that when I was taking the kids trick-or-treating. It wasn't too many people dressed up at all. I feel like Halloween snuck up on us, though, a little bit this year.

No, it's the same day every year. I don't know. Since I've been alive. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I just, I didn't get that feeling. And it's so warm out, you would think people

would want to... Maybe the warmth did it a little bit, too, because it was just a lot. When I was trick-or-treating last night, there was a lot of dads just in shorts and T-shirts.

It's summertime right now. It's crazy. It is what it is. I saw adults in shorts and T-shirts last night and this morning. Somebody showed me videos of... Eddie, you know we can hear you i saw a video i saw videos of people yesterday um showing me flowers blooming yeah trying to bloom yes yeah that's how you know the world is out of

whack that's right my grandma say this is this how you know it's the times the ends of the times oh my grandma used to say the same thing. Every year, right? Every year, every six months. No, my grandma used to say every year, every six months. She'd be like, get you. You never know. This is a sign of the times. My grandma been gone since 2005. She was saying this in the 80s. Jesus.

She was saying it in the 80s, the sign of the times. I will tell you one thing. You know, one of my favorite things to do is when I'm walking in, just talking to like the parking attendants and everybody else like that. A lot of brothers this morning. One of the brothers stopped me this morning. said hey man I already got my vote in that's good he said I voted for I voted for Harris that's that's that's amazing then he said what the d stand for and I was like what he said what the d stand for the d in her name I was like oh you're Debbie I didn't I didn't I really didn't know what he was talking about what you was about to say when he said that I thought he was talking about democrat I thought

he meant like what's the D in her name? Who meant the D in her middle name, which is Debbie. Yeah, you know what? Yesterday too, I seen a couple kids dressed as Donald Trump too.

I don't know if you've seen that. Did you see that yesterday? That's a great heart. I mean, he's one of the most horrific characters ever. You're right. I don't see a problem. No, you're right.

You're right. Great Halloween costume. Yeah, you're right. And I also noticed that you could tell it's an inflation because the kids didn't get that much candy. Really now usually they come with their there is no

inflation though you see you just told a big ass radio what is it that's like 2.4 let me rephrase that i can tell people don't have it like they did these corporations are jacking up the prices because people don't don't have it like they use because usually kids have a lot of candy and that was one of the things that a lot of kids were saying that you know usually they you know their buckets are up full and it wasn't like that this year so but also people are getting away from candy like meaning that they don't want to give kids candy because it's just simply not healthy that's what people are trying to find other alternatives like i you know we were trick-or-treating the same place last night i saw people giving away hot dogs and hot dogs yeah They were giving away hot dog cotton candy. This is a neighbor I know. That sounds good. Like a barbecue.

There was a couple of stands. A couple of hot dog stands. That's fun. Yeah. That's different. Yeah. I like that way better anyway. But that's because it was warm yesterday too.

Nah, they do that every year. Really? Hot dogs, cotton candy. They have waters and Capri Suns and stuff like that for the kids. It was pretty cool though. All right. Well, today on the show, we have Notori Norton-Lewis and Maurice Mitchell. They'll be joining us.

He is the National Director of the Working Families Party. And, of course, you know Notori. They'll be here. She's from the Power Party. That's right. She represents the Power Party. And this is something big. We have Caden Mingo here.

Now, Caden Mingo is ranked top ten high school basketball player. Next year, he's going to college. And he's actually coming on the Breakfast Club this morning to announce what college he is attending that is the first we've never had that before usually uh sometimes students go to espn to do it or they go to wherever to do it but uh he wanted to come to the breakfast club and announce what school he is going to be attending next year and like i said he is the uh top 10 high school players out of espn's 100.

Yes, we have made it to the weekend. How y'all feeling? Good? Good, good, good. And yes, I absolutely did have dinner last night on the Halloween trail. Hot dogs, hamburgers for sure. Yes, that's it. All right. So let's get into it. Y'all countdown is on with Election Day Tuesday, November 5th, five days away. And on top of your front page news, making sure you exercise your right to vote. We love to see it. Former President Donald Trump.

Now, he's already claiming that Pennsylvania is cheating after hundreds of fraudulent registration applications were recently turned in. Now, state officials are making it clear that those were not votes, but rather applications bound to have been submitted by paid canvassers. A safeguard kicked in to prevent any cheating and rejected them while an investigation is still ongoing. Now, Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social yesterday that the state is getting caught cheating at large scale levels rarely seen before. Let's hear those comments from former President Trump in regards to cheating in Pennsylvania. They've already started cheating in lancaster they've cheated we caught him with 2 600 votes and every vote was written by the same person i wonder how that happened i always remember whatever trump is accusing people of he's already doing r has done

it's always great projection because i've been telling you on this radio for months that they're already plotting on stealing the election you have a bunch of gop elected officials around the country who refuse to certify the results of the election he's got the supreme court on his side that'll help him win but uh it's gonna be hard for him to do because he's not currently in power as president but it's gonna be difficult he's gonna make it dangerous yes and this is where it begins um again not votes but uh just applications guys so trump's campaign is also suing philadelphia bucks county over um claims of voter intimidation and long lines of people tried to get mail-in ballots tuesday the deadline to request them um and of course there's been no evidence uh produced of

that meanwhile pennsylvania secretary of commonwealth al schmidt says election officials statewide are working hard to ensure free, fair, safe and secure election after fraudulent registration applications were submitted. Let's hear from him. When you have cases like this, it should encourage people to have more faith in the system, not less. Yeah, so Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry is also entering the chat responding to allegations of voter fraud in the state. Henry said attempts to submit voter fraudulent voter applications forms in York, Lancaster and other counties were uncovered and defeated. She noted that the fraudulent materials did not include any ballots, again, not votes, just applications. Henry says the investigations are ongoing and those who committed the fraud will be held accountable.

So there is some stuff going on, but we got to be clear about what that stuff is. So, yeah, moving on. Trump rallied in Arizona and Nevada and New Mexico yesterday, which New Mexico is traditionally a blue state, while Arizona and Nevada are swing states. Trump officials claim there is momentum in the entire region, and they slammed VP Harris' border policies. Let's hear from Trump at his rally in New Mexico. If we could bring God down from heaven, he could be the vote counter. We would win this. We'd win California. We'd win a lot of states You know that In four years, almost four years She never called Border Patrol once and yet she was in charge

Of the border That's not too good That's not, she's a stiff She's a total stiff and she lies Yes, any thoughts on that? You're like, same old, same old song We've been hearing the same thing for the longest time man like and it's this is it's just things that just aren't accurate you

know that's all i can tell you like she she was not in charge of the border like this just it's just things that weren't accurate the border is a bipartisan issue and it's going to take bipartisan legislation you know uh to properly secure the border and there was bipartisan legislation in place but donald trump shot it down because he did not want to give the democrats any political win in an election season those are just facts now did the did the biden administration get a lot of things wrong at the border early on yes but once again it's not uh you know just a one-party issue it's a bipartisan issue it's going to take both parties to fix it there was something in place to fix it he shot it down that's just a fact.

Well, there you go. All right. Well, you know, Trump is also suing CBS for $10 billion for allegedly making Harris's 60 Minutes interview look good, supposedly. His Trump, his legal team filed a claim towards the network saying that they edited the footage to cast her in a positive light. Now, the lawsuit says that CBS participated in a partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference and substantial news distortion when it aired the interview. So, yep, there's more to be had. So when can we sue for billions of dollars for them using me and Envy's likeness in his anti-trans ads without our permission? Now you know he don't have no billion dollars. Well, he is $1.8 billion in debt right now, but that ain't the point. Okay, what lawyer want to take the case?

Who want to take the case for us to sue Donald Trump? Pro bono. Okay, for using our likeness without permission. That's right. He word pro bono. Who wants it? That means free. Yes.

All right. All right. That's your front page news for 6 a.m., 7 a.m. Stick around. We'll get caught up with what's going on with VP Harris I wonder if during Thursday night football If that commercial ran, I'm just curious Alright, now get it off your chest

There's usually police officers around. There's fire department. Like, the fire department's part of it. It's really nice. And a lot of people don't want people just walking up to their door and ringing their bell. So that's another reason I like Trunk-A-Treat. Right, right.

Oh, my God. You see what I'm saying? We was there. We just said that. We was there. Hello, who's this?

Hi, this is Shay. Hey, Shay. Good morning. Now, it says that you had a horrible voting experience yesterday. What happened? Well, maybe it was a good one. Yes. Well, no, it was a bad experience. What happened?

So, the attendance at the voting poll was not nice. My husband, he was on his phone. He was looking down at his phone, a video on his phone, and she said loudly, you cannot be on your phone you got to put your phone away and she said that in the state of georgia it's illegal to have your phone out that's true i had my phone in my hand and i didn't know that you know i just put it away in my purse afterwards and um the next thing was her saying that we couldn't talk but we were just kind of whistling with each other as we were like in the poll voting and she was saying that we could have called like

stop talking so it reminded me of school um it was a listen pleasant experience i just wanted to encourage others you know if you go to the polls and you need a negative attitude or if you did not know that you didn't have your phone out, just have that awareness. Yeah, I mean, everything you said is true, though. You can't have your phones out

when you go into the polling place. You can't talk. You can't wear any, like, political paraphernalia. Like, you can't wear anything that supports or is in opposition against any of the candidates. Like, these are, this is true.

These are just, these are rules. But I also feel like what she was saying is the way that you speak to people, right? And the way that you talk to people. Right. And if you said, hey, ma'am, I'm sorry, you can't be on your phone in here, it's against the law. You'd be like, oh, okay, no problem. Or if you said, hey, ma'am, you can't talk in here because people are voting. You'd be like, okay.

But now if you talk to me with disrespect, the first thing I'm going to feel like, I'm going to feel like you're talking to me like I'm a child. Or if you're already going in the voters booth, or if you're already going in the voters booth and you think that the people there are racist and you think because you black, you voting for Kamala and you think they mad at you because they looking at you like, oh, you probably voting for Kamala.

You already got a grudge and you already think that everything that they say to you is racist. How about that? Have you ever thought about that? Well, let's ask Shay. What happened, Shay? I know that's what happened with Shay.

That's how I be feeling sometimes. Well, they were actually black, and I'm black as well. So I figured, you know, they thought that I would be voting for Kamala. And so it really wasn't that. It was just the experience. It was a tone of voice. Like you said, DJ Envy, her tone was speaking to us like we were children. And I'm like, okay, we're not children.

We're not in schools. And I'm just used to more black voting. I'm from Alabama, and I've never had that experience. I've never been told that I couldn't have my phone out. So it was really just a surprise for us. I understand. Well, I'm glad you voted. I'm sorry you had a horrible experience, Mama.

Yeah, no problem. The last thing I want to say is I'm sorry you had a horrible experience, mama. Yeah, no problem. The last thing I want to say is I put my kids trick-or-treating last night and I noticed that none of the people with chomper out in their yard

were giving out candy. No one. Like, their lights were out. None of the chompers were giving out candy and I just thought that was a bit strange. Hmm.

Well, okay. 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

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. I don't know if I would go to that house anyway. Like, why is that screen? Yeah. Well, I don't know. Like, my husband, he's like, why are you avoiding the houses with the signs? So there's a lot of Trump signs in Georgia and some of the neighborhoods. And I was like, I'm not avoiding them.

They don't have their porch light on. But, yeah, I just noticed that they weren't giving out candy. And probably because they knew that they had their sons in their yard so they were just like sensitive to the fact that you know

they got a son and they really didn't want to give out candy or whatever so I don't know I just found it to be true

voting or being here in Georgia okay that's the thing like people were ignoring houses with Trump signs I have no idea

we didn't give out no candy last night. You didn't give out no candy? Hell no. I wasn't even home. You went trick-or-treating? Yeah, I went trick-or-treating. But we didn't give out no candy at the house.

Yeah, I wasn't even home. My kids went to other people's houses. By the way, the way my anxiety set up, I don't like people just coming to my door all the time. I don't like that. I know it's Halloween, but it's like I don't like that. I don't like that. So, no, I'm not the house that gives out candy. Yeah, I'm with Charlamagne. I didn't even all the time. Like, I don't like that. Like, and I know it's Halloween, but it's like, I don't like that. I don't like that. So, no, I'm not the house

that gives out candy. Yeah, I'm with Charlamagne. I didn't even open the gate. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now we got Just With The Mess with Lawn and Rosa coming up. We do.

And yesterday, it finally happened. It has been ruled, Young Thug will be released. So we are going to get into the breakdown of everything that went down yesterday in court with him. Okay, we'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Law and La Rosa. News is real.

We're in the Hilarious. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. All right, y'all. So I had teased that Young thug was going to be released young thug is free so the jail records for fall in county jail which is where he was being held have him released as of 10 31 2024 and he had been booked in may of 2022 now this has been noted as one of the longest trials in georgia state history and it has finally come to an end yesterday yesterday thug and his team along with the judge uh they were able to come to an agreement on a plea deal

so originally what happened um they were trying to come up with this plea deal between thug's team and the prosecution but they couldn't come to a uh like a middle point so the judge got involved and said okay he's going to plead no contest. And then the judge will be able to make the final decision. So what happened is and because of that, the state recommended that get a 45 year sentence. They wanted 25 years in prison and 20 years of probation. Now, originally, Thug had pleaded not guilty in 2022 when he was first arrested. But because he decided to plead guilty to certain things in this, here's what he ended up with.

So he pled no contest to conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and leading a criminal street gang and guilty to everything else. Now he is looking at a 40-year sentence, but this is how

it's going to break down. So it's 15 years of probation. He got five years of time served. Now, if he messes up at any point on that probation, there's a backload of 20 years that he will instantly have to serve.

20 years in prison. Yes, 20 years. Now, the judge in court has some words for Thug. And she was basically just telling him, like, look, I'm giving you the chance to get out here, be better, be around better people, do better things. And Thug has some words to say in response to her. Let's take a listen. I take full responsibility for my crimes or my charges. I want to say sorry to my family, my mom,

my managers, my kids, really everybody that got something to do with this situation. I want to say sorry for just like having so much time investing into this. I am a smart guy. I am a good guy and I really got a good heart. I find myself in a lot of stuff because I was just nice or cool. You can't be that way when you reach a certain height because it could end bad. The choice is yours. It's up to you. I hope that you allow me to go home today and just trust me to just do the right thing and never see you again unless it's out of this type of situation. I promise you I won't ever be in this type of situation again.

I've learned from my mistakes. I'm sorry. Through these last two and a half years of my life, you are really the best thing that has happened to me because you made everything fair for me. And I just hope that you find it in your heart to allow me to go home. Drop on the clues bombs for Young Thug.

I mean, you hear the brother holding himself responsible. You hear the brother taking accountability. You know what I want Jeffrey to do immediately? Ask the judge if he can go away to some type of wellness retreat. Like, go get his mind

and spirit right. That would be amazing. Yes, if he has any, you know, substance abuse issues that he needs to deal with, like, go away and really, really

get that help and, you know, go do something. Go deal with that trauma that you've been experiencing the last two and a half years to help you readjust to being back

because you know they want to violate you. Yeah. And 15 years is a long time and he has a lot of conditions that we were going to get into and also two in the court we didn't because his speech was kind of long so we didn't play the whole thing but he also apologized to his mom his kids and just you know everyone that has had to take the time to be invested in this and you know let them know we will never get back here again now when we talk about that 15 years release it is very important that he follows all of the rules that

the judge is giving him because she made it very clear they're not going to take it lightly on him if he does not. There's a lot of conditions, so I'm just going to touch on a few of them. He has a certain amount of time. I believe it's like 24 to 48 hours to vacate the metro Atlanta area. And once he vacates, he cannot be back in the metro Atlanta area unless he is there for a wedding, a funeral, a graduation. And then his lawyer asked, could they add an immediate family member's serious medical condition? Because, you know, all his family, his kids are in Atlanta. He is able to come to Atlanta, but he could be there for 24 hours and must leave 24 hours after if he's having to work. The judge also asked that he does a lot of community things.

She mentioned four times a year each year of his probation he must do something anti-gang like presentation and she said that it can be a live show how could i do community things if i can't go to my community though um i mean i'll be allowed to go for certain things he just can't be there like hanging out and of course no contact with any of the members that were defendants in this case no contact with any members of any street gangs. He is not allowed to, you know, anything that can be misinterpreted as gang language, gang signs, anything. He cannot do any of that. No contact with the victims of any family or the family of any victims involved in a case.

He can be around like licensed security guards with firearms. But, of course, now he's a convicted felon, so he can't be around. He can't have guns himself. They're going to do random drug screenings uh his persons can randomly be searched so he waived his fourth amendment so anytime they can pop up and conduct searches he can travel in and out of the state in the country because she said in court i understand that that's what you do for work and to make your money but there just has to be a conversation there's going to be conditions around that correct and i will say i've watched a lot of trials like this and this judge was very very fair at this point there was one point in time where the prosecution came in prostitution

prosecution came in and said uh it's not fair that he gets to plead no contest to the heavier weight of the charges when we've been here and the state has taken all this time and a judge said that's not his fault and i'm not going to make him have to do that if he's willing to take on all these conditions and plead guilty to what he's going to plead guilty to at this point i think it's fair that we do that and i will say to his judge we find out that judge got so much young thug on our playlist i will say she is an upstanding she's the upstanding citizen she did her thing about making it fair she has six kids and i'm happy he's home to see those kids. But something you said earlier, Charlamagne,

and I was talking about last night, I wonder if Doug will be able to perform his old songs. Oh, because some of them got that slack, though. The slang and the quote-unquote gang stuff in his songs. But that's how he would make his money. That's his catalog. He can't. He better bleep stuff out.

Honestly, if I was him, i wouldn't even play them games he acts in court as well can he be able to work with his brother and gonna which was a big deal oh that gonna apology tour gonna be so hilarious make the new music we we know we know we we can play your old songs for you okay i don't even want him to play no games with nothing i will say too last night mariah the scientist was here in new york with lotto and i was like i wonder what she gonna say on stage because this all happened as she was coming out sis got on stage and said let's wrap this up and let me get on that jet she trying to get back to

her man okay she held him down salute to Mariah the Scientist Jeffrey has the opportunity to do so much good in the community and when you get blessed with this kind of second chances for a reason so I'm very very intrigued to see what he does in the future and I'm rooting for him to do all the right things because you know them people want to violate the stipulations of that probation

and you know those folks gonna be on your ass so please do the right thing and can i let my n word talk for just a minute go ahead yep i know what i'm about to say some straight up group chat foolishness let it fly but i need the record to show that young thug gotta be one of the top five realest street rappers ever yes at least top three at this point i don't know what this man has done or has not done as far as the streets concerned but i do know he got jammed up for it and didn't say a word held it everybody in their mama was testifying against jeffrey that was pointing him out to be the leader of this organized crime family and that man didn't say a damn thing not a tweet not a statement nothing the nigga in me is impressed i'm not gonna lie to you yeah i know he had to

be at some point crying to himself but you ain't seen nothing there but he got an attorney and and i hope it works out for jeffrey hey man also too i gotta get that same energy to yf and lucy because that brother been jammed up for a minute and hasn't said a word either and him and thug you know from what we've been told are mortal enemies and they didn't even tell on each other. No. So according to the laws of the street, they supposed to get statues.

I can't. Yeah, that's right. Can't wait for the music. Can't wait for the music. They supposed to get statues. Okay. I don't know where

you're going to put the statues, but yeah, you're absolutely right. Just don't have no signs. Can't put them in Metro Atlanta. Can't put them in Metro Atlanta. But y'all better build something for them

on Cleveland Street. Okay. He'll never see it. He may not ever see it and he'll be seeing it on social media. I'm just saying, according to the laws of the street. Correct. They supposed to get statues. That may not ever see it and he'll be seeing it on social media. I'm just saying, according to the laws

of the street. Correct. They're supposed to get statues. That's right. And they shot the thug. All right. Well, that is just with the mess

with La La Rosa. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Morgan Wood will be joining us as the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,

Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. La La Rosa filling in for Jess. Now, don't forget Caden Mingo will be joining us this morning. Caden Mingo is a top 10 basketball player in high school right now.

And this morning at 8 o'clock, he's going to decide what college he's going to. All right. He's from Long Island. ESPN ranks him top 10 as a guard. And this morning on the Breakfast Club, he's going to decide here live what school he's going to be going to. So make sure you tune in at 8 o'clock. And let's get in some front page news. Last night in sports, the Jets beat the Texas 21-13.

Did you see highlights of the game, Charlemagne? No. Did you see the Jets player who got the touchdown but dropped the ball right before the touchdown? No. You know what I was doing last night? After I got back from trick-or-treating, I was laying on my heating pad, and I was watching some of the Megan Thee Stallion documentary. I didn't even watch no sports. Oh, yeah. Passed right by it. Didn't care. I actually fell asleep. I was watching some of the Megan Thee Stallion documentary. I didn't even watch no sports. Oh, yeah.

Passed right by it. Didn't care. I actually fell asleep. I was walking around with the kids. My back was hurting. I actually went to sleep. I fell asleep watching the documentary, too. Well, good morning, Morgan.

Good morning. Good morning. Hey, y'all. Hey. All right. So the countdown is on with Election Day, Tuesday, November 5th. Four days away. And on top of the front page news, making sure you exercise your right to vote.

Okay, so before heading to Arizona, Vice President Harris addressed comments former President Trump made recently about protecting women, quote, whether they like it or not. Now, didn't that lady just tell you stop centering Trump stories? Here you go. Here you go, Morgan. The woman just called up here. She sure did. But this one's about Harris, though, and her comments and how she responded to Trump. So let's hear more from VP Harris on protecting women.

It actually is, I think, very offensive to women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority, their right, and their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies. And this is just the latest on a series of reveals by the former president of how he thinks about women and their agency. So Harris Hill rallies in the southwest swing states of Nevada and Arizona before taking the stage in Arizona. She talked about not belittling voters for their choice while also slamming Donald Trump. Here's what she had to say. Harris on Trump.

I do not believe, and I will speak for myself, that we should ever criticize people based on who they vote for. He is someone who talks full time about the enemy within. He speaks ill of America. He refers to us as a garbage can. Exhausted with his rhetoric exhausted with that approach exhausted with an approach that donald trump has that's trying to divide our country and have americans point fingers at each other that's what i'm talking about that's why i don't understand why they even let him pull up in the garbage truck and try to change the narrative and try to

harp on whatever it is uh president biden said about you know, the supporters of the Trump, whatever, being trashed, whatever it was, because he literally says the same type of rhetoric. He called America a garbage can a week ago. He a troll. All right. Yeah, well, actually, VP Harris, she took the stage in Arizona saying that she will fight for the American people. Let's hear those comments from VP Harris. In this election, we have an opportunity to turn the page on a decade of Donald Trump trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other.

We're done with that, we're exhausted with that. And it is my pledge to you that if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf as president, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way. Yeah, so Harris has been endorsed recently. Of course, Bill Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, has been on the campaign trail for her. Hillary Clinton will be in Tampa this upcoming weekend for her. LeBron James, he took to social media to endorse her, saying, when I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. So she's been receiving a lot of endorsements. Also, the Avengers, which I thought was kind of cool. The Avengers are assembling again to endorse VP Harris for

President Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, and more. They all took to social media to endorse the VP for president. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, switching gears, you guys, we're on Verdict Watch right now. The jury is deliberating in the Brett Hankinson trial. That's the former Louisville police officer who is in his second civil rights trial for his actions during the botched raid, say her name, at Breonna Taylor's apartment in 2020. The first civil rights trial ended in a deadlock jury

and he was previously acquitted of state charges. Jurors asked questions of the court as to whether Taylor was a living victim. At the time, Hankinson fired shots into her apartment. The defense brought up the possibility that Taylor was already dead during closing arguments. Now Hankinson faces civil rights violations for firing into the apartments of Taylor and her next door neighbor. Those wanton charges. Again, the former officer could face life in prison if convicted. And bringing things home quickly to New York, Mayor Adams, he's expected to return to federal court today for his bribery and fraud case. Lawyers for the mayor are asking that the charge against Adams be dropped, those bribery charges be dropped. They say prosecutors have yet to prove there was any quid pro quo in the matter. Prosecutors have claimed that Adams

took luxury travel from Turkish officials in exchange for smoothing the way the new Turkish consulate to be built in New York City. Now, Adams has pled not guilty to those corruption charges, but we will see what happens in court today. All right, y'all. Happy November 1st. It's now gobble gobble season, right? That's your front page news. Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan Media.

will be joining us. Maurice Mitchell is the National Director of the Working Families Party, and we're going to talk to them next. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave, so Lauren LaRosa is filling in. And we got some special guests in the building. We have Notori Norton and Maurice Mitchell. Welcome. How y'all feeling?

Welcome, welcome. Notori Norton Lewis. Don't forget my last name. They didn't put Lewis. I'm sorry, Miss sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry damn name lewis how y'all feeling how's the energy everything good oh everything's good can't complain bless bless so happy to be here i know we're less than a week until election day something man a couple days yeah crazy the work working families party maurice you're the national director yeah i remember uh jill stein brought y'all up when she was here on the breakfast club was that an accurate representation i get excited when people uh have our names in their mouths right because generally that means we're doing that

work we're putting in work and the working families party for for those of you that may not know what we do we're what happens where everyday people come together, people who aren't picked from the political establishment. We come together and we demand a seat at the agenda setting table, right? Because we're talking about elections, but it's really about setting agendas and building agendas. And so when people are looking, they say like, well, you know, I'm fed up with this party or that party. We want something else. We're that something else. And I like to say that we're a non-delusional grassroots third party. And so what that means is, you know, we cook what we have in the kitchen.

Right. So I grew up working class. Right. And, you know, I can't always have money to buy a gourmet meal, but I'll look what we have in the kitchen. I'll make a gourmet meal. Right. And so we run people as independent WFP people sometimes when we can, if there's a path to win. Like, for example, how many of you know who Tish James is?

Absolutely. Okay. What you may not know is that. Attorney General. That's right. She started as a independent working families candidate in 2003 and worked her way up to becoming Attorney General. She was a lawyer. She was a public defender and a consumer protection lawyer. And the political establishment wanted

nothing to do with her. The white establishment, the black establishment, the Democratic Party establishment. And we joined forces with her. And historically, we defeated the Republicans and Democrats and got her elected as a city council person, right? Not too far from here in Brooklyn. I remember I'm from New York. I remember in New York when we had a Republican governor, a Republican mayor, Republicans of the state Senate. It was through the Working Families Party. People talk about down ballot races, right? Actually focusing on down ballot races so that in city council and in state legislatures, we moved the establishment closer to the people so we could deliver on a $15 minimum wage. So the Working Families Party is about putting results down for everyday working people.

What got you involved with the Working Families Party, Victoria? Well, amen to everything Maurice said. What got me involved is really just my passion for politics. I went to Seton Hall for political science and, you know, they reached out to me and my husband too and was like, look, how can we get involved? And really it was just a natural, I think, organic relationship. I am really, you know, big in Jersey, big in my community. And then, you know, doing things for the pushback was how we kind of first initially connected. And the pushback just made me honestly more aware of Project. 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 with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and

families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman.

Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, B.B. King, Miriam Akiba. I shook up the world. James Brown said, say it loud. And the kids said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out.

Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga.

On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are.

Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place. So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. 2025 and how I needed to use my voice. So we went to Philly. We've been canvassing, knocking on doors, going to people, making sure that early voting is happening. So really just getting involved was a natural, organic relationship.

And I'm glad that Working Families is using the culture, you know, because of influence that we have. I wanted to get involved and it's been making, I think, making a difference. But y'all pushing for the VP, right? Y'all don't have your own candidate. We're an independent third party. And look, we tell the people the truth. So if we can't find a path. So they can decide.

Right. So if we can't find a path to victory, right? Because one of the ways to define a party is like parties organize winning. And one way to evaluate a party is to ask, what is your path to victory? And what is your strategy? If we don't see a path to victory, we don't waste our people's time, money and energy. We could not see a way for us to run a candidate from the WFP at the top of the ticket. So what we did, it is a binary choice. Anybody that's telling you that on Tuesday, anybody but Donald Trump or Kamala Harris are going to win that election

are either lying to you or they don't know the basics of civics in this country. So when we saw this binary, just off the Green Party. That's the first person I thought of when you said that. No, I mean, look, my job as an organizer is to tell the truth. Right. And this isn't directed at anybody in particular. This is just the truth. Between now and Election Day, it is a binary choice. Either the VP or Donald Trump will get elected. And the thing that I

want to say and how it comes back to the pushback, because the pushback is a project of our sister organization, Working Families Power. It's a public education pun intended, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, pun intended. And it's designed because, well, look, I want to I want to go back to the RNC. How many people remember the RNC and remember seeing Sister Amber Rose on stage? Right. Of course. OK. The reason why that concerned me is that I think we could all agree that she was able to establish herself. She was able to feed her family. She was able to become a celebrity through our culture. Right. Could we all agree that that's true? Absolutely. Okay. So I'm a student of history. I know that black culture has always been a force to tell the truth, to speak truth

to power, has always played that role. And I also know that when folks in our culture have had the ability and had the privilege to rise to the highest levels and been able to establish themselves and have celebrity and have a little money in their pocket that they always established. They kept that relationship between them and the streets, everyday working class, black and brown people. And so even though you could maybe vote for a candidate that will give you a tax cut and benefit you because you're in a certain tax bracket, you remember the people that brought you there.

You remember your aunties and uncles and cousins and so there's a we can't leave those people behind yes the average american working american the the real people and that's also again what makes me so passionate about about the work of working families and maurice and his team you know it just makes sense to reach back just like you said you know i may have made it to a certain point, but I still look at people from East Orange or from certain inner cities, Newark, New Jersey, and make sure that they know we care and we see you. And that's hopefully what will inspire people to vote for whoever you feel like is going

to bring the change that is needed. But we all, you know know I know how I feel and I just as a woman as a black woman you know I'm very excited to see you know America do what they got to do exactly and what I was gonna say is like I feel like there's three categories of people who are currently violating code and you have 50 cent on recently right okay and i remember he said that they no i want to say this no i want to bring it up because no no listen because look look he spilled the tea they wanted to offer him the bag three million dollars to his credit he denied the bag right he denied the bag right twice right he's smart right and so

there's three categories people who have accepted the bag which means they don't believe any of this right they're willing to swallow their pride and accept a white supremacist agenda for the bag then there's people who actually believe in the agenda and they're taking the bag yeah and i think the third category to me is this is the saddest life. You're not even getting the bag and you're so thirsty for their approval that you're willing to use your platform, use your voice in order to advance the billionaire extremist agenda. The Project 2025 agenda, because like elections are not about, oh, the orange crazy man and what he says and the black lady. Right. Elections are about the future the future elections are about agendas which is why we're so focused on the public education around project 2025 because on one side is the project 2025 agenda and then there's been been people who said like well i don't believe donald trump read project 2025 exactly that's the point of project 2025

all right we have more with notori norton leLewis and Maurice Mitchell when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Law and La Rosa filling in for Jess. We're still kicking it with Notori Norton-Lewis and Maurice Mitchell. He's the National Director of the Working Families Party.

Lauren? I have two questions for you. Okay. And you don't have to talk about this if you're not comfortable, but you just said that you struggled with the thoughts of abortion. Yes.

Why? Like, what? Well, no, I just I wasn't sure that I wanted to have my first child. I never talked about this. But essentially, I think that when I was shooting power, I became pregnant. It was an unexpected pregnancy. And I'm super blessed. My daughter is amazing. And I'm so glad she's here. was shooting power i became pregnant it was an unexpected pregnancy and i'm super blessed my

daughter is amazing and i'm so glad she's here um but in all honesty i i wrote and directed my first short film uh it's called three two three and it's about somewhat an experience that i had and also the mental anguish of making that choice and i wanted to use film as a way to give women and people and there's men you know I have Burgundy Baker who stars in it from the shy uh John Clarence Stewart Vanessa Bell Calloway and this film three three three just gives us a chance to look at the issue of abortion and not a politicized way but in a human way yeah and deal with so my experience just made me realize like even me even though I was on a hit show this is season four and power was at its height I didn't know if I could be a good mother and I wasn't sure if I would be enough I didn't know if I was gonna make

enough money I didn't know if the show was gonna get canceled like there was so many things I didn't know if I was gonna get married you know and I didn't I became a single mom very quickly um so you know until I met my husband when my daughter was almost two I wasn't really sure so I'll just say that that's what I channeled those emotions and that's also why women's rights and reproductive rights is so important to me at this time so yeah three three three the ascended masters are right by your side assisting you with whatever it is that you're focusing on yeah 333 and it's also just this interesting yeah there's so much power in those numbers and you'll see like when you see my film which will be out uh next year um in festivals but essentially it is completion and also what you focus on it will come so whatever your choice is don't feel haunted by that and

just be able to go forth and focus on the future and that's what my film is about you talked about earlier people wanting people to know you outside of power yeah and when he brought it 50 earlier you like oh my god i didn't even want that to come up and you knew that was coming up though that man just left here a couple days ago so you talked to salia uh from t from TMZ and that clip was everywhere. Yeah, your response to 50 Cent. Your response to 50 Cent. That was Tasha, that wasn't a toy.

Your response to 50 and what he was saying up here about Omari and you basically saying like Omari was ghost. Ghost was power. So you didn't agree with what 50 said up here. That picked up everywhere. And did you you regret saying that is that why you were like oh my god or oh I don't regret saying anything that I say in most cases but um I think that you know I was just being honest you know and it's no no shade to 50 he has his feelings and I don't know all of the issues that went down like I said

in that interview but I think overall I was just trying to express that you know power was something that started this whole journey of creating stars the stars app and I'm grateful for the opportunity and 50 and Courtney gave me that opportunity so you know at the end of the day I know that there's politics involved in their positions as well so I respect 50 but I also have to honor what Omari Hardwick brought to the table and all I said in that interview was that you know I feel like he is kind of a staple in the power world that we can never undervalue him either so I just think that as people particularly as black people I'll just say this as black people we have to remember to be okay with valuing each other and really celebrate those moments when we get to a plateau or high moment in our careers even in your field you know

you guys negotiate and do deals because you know you're worth yeah and there's always going to be somebody who tells you ah nah you're not worth that you shouldn't and that's debatable and that's not for me to say what money he should that's i'm not in anybody's you know checks i i focus on my check but know your power but know your power and also know your worth and it's okay to push for you know what you feel your worth that's all you don't want to ask we had uh taraji said the same thing so this is you know it's all relative we had mickey guyton up here country singer oh yes was she a member of 3LW? Yes.

So I forgot that Mickey was the first member of 3LW until Adrian and I recently reunited. And Adrian sent me a picture of them with Mickey and she was singing the national anthem. And I was like, oh, my gosh, that's right. Because they told me there was a country. She was a girl. She wasn't a country country artist then but I think she lived somewhere and then she her parents pulled her out of the group and I think that's how I wound up getting an audition for but I had forgot I was 15 so Adrian remembered and reminded me and then I was like I want to meet her one day I mean we've never met she's so dope her voice is crazy but how um i was thinking like

at that time i was like girl you dodged a bullet but but because she has her own career but at the end of the day i think i i i'm happy that you know whatever happened with 3ow it was supposed to happen that way and here i am today how does the reunion feel because now y'all both are moms i know you guys kind of have you have a shared experience that none of us will ever understand good and bad isn't it crazy yeah how does that feel to me and agent talk about like we need to probably talk about this in a formal setting but i'm very grateful that we are reunited she's a mom she's a wife and i'm it's almost like that life brings us closer together although there was so much tension in that time period we look back and actually say oh remember when that

happened oh girl like this is what i was thinking back then or and it actually brings us closer i'm so happy for her now i mean we we we actually invite each other to each other's homes and she was at my baby shower it's just unbelievable that someone that you know i didn't think i would ever speak to again is now my friend did y'all make any promises to each other that y'all would never have? Charlamagne! You're so messy, child. Did y'all make any promises? Stop. We did not.

No more. No more. Baby, I'm going to do right. No, we just continue to support each other. And I don't talk to the promisive lady. Will that never happen? You're Keely in. You know, God is good. and look at what he's done

and in my life so you just can never say never so you're open to it god is good okay let's talk about you and adrian like you know you know promising to never have any issues between each other i should smack him you know i really like backhand this is what I should have did to Tariq you want to throw this at him here throw this at him I have these over here just in case all the time

but yeah no so I wanted to ask Maurice and you Victoria one of the biggest misconceptions like because you said something earlier that was very important

about voting yeah you have to be an informed vote absolutely and one of the biggest things I hear people say is if you try to talk to them about politics, like, well, the economy was better under Trump

and it's better under Republicans. I learned this in the last couple of months. That's just been a false narrative all of these years that I don't know why we believe. Yeah, and then we believed it. This is misinformation and disinformation. Donald Trump inherited the Obama economy. So whatever economy that you remember, when Donald Trump came into office, that was the Obama economy. So whatever economy that you remember when Donald Trump came

into office, that was the Obama economy. Again, to me, the Obama economy is the floor. I'm with working families. I want an economy that in many ways focuses directly on the interests of labor unions in ways that we still are trying to get to. But the Obama economy was generating jobs month after month after month. So so he he inherited that. And then people don't remember. But if you remember four years ago, we were under covid. Millions of jobs were lost. Right.

People were sheltered in place. And some people say, like, well, you know, that was covid. But presidents will face untold crises. Covid happened to be his crisis. What happened when that man faced that crisis? He unraveled. Talking about injecting bleach and his own health officials say that hundreds of thousands

of people lost their lives. They didn't have to because the man couldn't keep it together. We have more with Notori Norton-Lewis and Maurice Mitchell when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and the Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha the guy we are the breakfast club laura rosa filling in for jess we're still kicking it with the tori norton lewis

and maurice mitchell the national director of the working families party now maurice can i tell you what i noticed the problem is though a lot of people don't have the time to do the research to see if the things that they're researching is right right absolutely absolutely i'm watching the world series right yeah and they're playing ads and people don? And I'm going to tell you why. Absolutely. I'm getting it from just a swipe. I'm watching the World Series, right? Yeah. And they're playing ads. And people don't know if those ads are real or fake, right? That's correct.

So if you work a nine to five or you have two jobs, you come home, you say, you know what? I'm going to turn on the World Series while I cook for my kids. And you're watching these ads. You don't know what to believe or not. Absolutely. And most people don't know that a lot of those ads are full of shit. Yes. Yes.

Or when they go online, a lot of the stuff that they're looking for is false so how do people know what's real or what's not i mean they put an ad with me and charlamagne on there oh yeah oh i saw that oh listen but when you saw that you thought your brother sold you out well no i was just like this is crazy and charlamagne i know how you know political we did the movie 88 together which was a political thriller about these very issues in an election and and just super packs so it's funny because everything you said is so true like they you know you don't know and people don't often have time so what i want to say to add to what you said and marie said is that you know we're just swiping through social media and that's the only maybe quick in a hurry.

It's like fast food. Right. Yes. Right. And fast food. You know, you got to just eat because you got to eat. That's right. Sometimes you don't have time to or you may not have the resource or the money to go get a real meal. So you but you got to eat. Right. So I'm gonna go ahead and get this burger. Well, hopefully it is real meat. I don't know. But I'm digesting something that I'm not really sure is right or good for me. And even true. Yeah. And that's why I encourage everybody, because I believe that the ultimate antiseptic to these lies, it's not just better information because we need better information. It's relationships. Right. Because if I have a trusted relationship with you and you're spouting this i could be like yo all right mv let me

actually share with you what's up and we could have a conversation because we trust each other and you know when we were in philly we had an amazing closed door conversation with working class black men and we were having real talk in a barber shop we went to a barber shop and just sat you know my husband was really part of that conversation. And all these men sat and talked. I was really observing because, you know, as a woman, I didn't want to be in that conversation because I don't know what black men's struggles or what they're dealing with.

But that was such a great thing that, you know, you guys and working families organized because people do need to just sit and talk to each other. But as a woman, what did you observe in that conversation that like Kamala Harris and like, you know her team it's focusing on right now like you know i think a lot of black men felt like you know don't just pick me up and use me now some people did feel you know even with kamala harris you know at the end of the day some people are feeling like oh now y'all in in both parties now y'all want to focus on black men or now there's conversations

about what so there was a real you know some people are frustrated some people are feeling you know discouraged and some people are like no you know they were educators and they were all talking and my husband talked about you know the influence of the culture and they talked about quavo and different people uh that are being utilized but black men were feeling like are we going to still matter when the election is over so how do we organize ourselves and i think they were talking amongst themselves about what can we do to make sure we're not just used as a tool that's right that's right because for far too long when it

comes time to vote the parties they come to us they come to us for so many they come to our culture for everything they come to our culture to make money to start brands and to get and to get people into these polls and the day after it's often crickets when it comes to our to our agenda which is why we build organizations like the working families party so we could hold them all accountable right and so to me i thought it was historic and so props to vp harris for having a platform specifically for black men right he didn't just create that after barack obama made those comments a week no no no she's been doing i know that she's been working on it right but there's a narrative that it feels like it's just happening but that's not true and that agenda to me is the floor you know props to black men bill

props to phil agnew black men Men Bill, and the Nine Bars. There are all types of platforms for black men. So I'm happy that that happened. I think it's historic to have a major candidate actually address our issues. That shows we have power. And also, I want to dispel this misinformation that black men don't vote, or black men don't vote for black women, or vote for or vote for black women or somehow we could lose the black men are engaged right black men are very much engaged there's one population of people who always vote on freedom more than anybody else that's black women only rivaled by black men right and so we just need to dispel that all of this gender war stuff yep any any information

that's about dividing us in our community is information that is set upon by our enemies because they're afraid if we as black people come together. And then the other thing that they're afraid of is when working class black people, Latino people and working class white people and native people and Asian people, we all come together.

That's the thing that they are definitely afraid of. Right. Kill Martin. Yes. I mean, and that's exact, exactly all the together. That's the thing that they are definitely afraid of. That's why they killed Martin. Yes. I mean, and that's exactly all the leaders and even in the culture. If you can bring people together through music, through the arts, or through, you know, what you're speaking or your activism. And literally, that transcends color lines. And then before you know it, you have so much power that they can't control you.

Because essentially, power is freedom. That's right. And without freedom, you know, that you have so much power that they can't control you because essentially power is freedom. That's right. And without freedom, you know, that's where we all are fighting for. And that's why voting now matters, because we're fighting not just for power. We're fighting for freedom. And that's what's important to us. That's right. How do you support your work, Murray? OK, well, if you want to get in this work between now and Election Day, because we're still talking to voters. So I encourage everybody to text the word power, pun intended, the 30403 power to 30403. You could working families that org. I would love for you to join the Working Families Party.

And then if you vote in Connecticut and New York, we have a ballot line. And in New York, you could vote row D on the Working Families Party line. You could vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, not on the Democratic Party line, but on row D, the Working Families Party line. Why that is why that's important is that you could say, yes, absolutely. I saw the hate rally at Madison Square Garden.

I understand the assignment. I don't want to vote that man in. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. But I care about the fact that we need to focus our resources on education and health care and not on wars abroad. Right. Then you can vote on the Working Families Party line, which says this is my candidate choice. But this is also the agenda i vote on and in those states you could do that policies that you believe in and making sure that we take care of us at home and not just abroad that's right we need people to support us here in america in these cities so that's right that's also why we do what we do that's right notori norton lewis yes yes yes maurice mitchell thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you all so much. It's The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. Your news is real. Jess Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spell nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess.

On The Breakfast Club. She's a spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide Meg. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shoes. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the Meg. Talk to me. So Meg Thee Stallion dropped her documentary, In Her Own Words, on Amazon Prime. And in the documentary, she talks about everything.

It's like the, it showcases the beginning of her career to where we see her today uh the death of her mom the tori lane shooting a her friendship with kelsey a bunch of different stuff i wanted us to start from the beginning um she goes into detail because i had known that megan had lost her mom i had known that her mom was dealing or like it was like a sudden sickness but uh she actually gets more in detail about the moment that she found out her mom was sick and then her the passing of her mom was sick. Listen, my mama, she called me. She was like, man, I keep having my words. She was like, I really think something is wrong.

Like, I'm talking really slow. I feel funny. I need you to call 911. I don't want to freak out because I want to freak out. It was a tumor in her brain. We was just like, damn, like how long this been going on? Like, and what does that mean? It's like she started giving me like a pep talk.

Like she, like she knew something was about to happen to her. And then she started having back-to-back seizures. It was like, she's just not responding. Like I'm in shambles. And they had to like put her under. She was just, just brain dead. Like, so I stayed up there every day i just was praying that she could just shake back from it and once i realized she wasn't coming

back i was just like damn i can't keep it like this so i had to make the decision to like pull the plug she just passed like the next day you know i went to sleep after her mother passed but it wasn't just that her mother passed like her mother was her world everything her best friend her manager assistant and she was sitting in the court you see her sitting in like with megan uh practicing her dancing she like no she was teaching her how to breathe on stage what like it was because her mom used to rap yeah her mom used to rap and you can see that her mother was living her dreams through megan so she was like the perfect everything for me yeah yeah um and and when i saw that part i thought like man like all this was happening when a big old freak was getting big

this was 2019 yeah so she was like you know things were moving for her and it was finally paying off and then this happens um and then after that was the shooting the shooting happened and so her mom passed away in march 2019 and then she was shot in july 2020 and she called it in the documentary the worst year of her life now she does get into tori and that whole time explains her friendship how they became friends they bonded over the fact that they both lost their mothers um and then she talks about sleeping with tori lanes let's take a listen to that i used to be so confident in myself and i used to be it wouldn't have been a time where anybody would have asked me about f***ing somebody. And I would have been like, you know, I would have been like, so, okay, yeah, I did that s***.

I like to f***. What about it? But the way, like, they have villainized me for being this type of person, it started to make me second guess myself. Yes, b***h, I lied to Gayle King, b***h. First of all, I didn't know that b***h was even going to ask me about that s***. She's always going to talk about this shooting. Why'd you ask me about Tori? That's not what this is about. Even if I was, I'd fuck this shit like once, maybe twice on a drunk night.

Bitch, you kept catching me out of my fucking mind. I find myself consumed in the fucking part. And I'm like, wait, this is not what this is about. If my mom was here, I wouldn't be going through this. The world went crazy when that clip dropped online now people were arguing about this about you know she's admitting that she's lying and how is she admitting that she's lying and he's sitting in jail and you know all of that and tori's team actually came out with a statement and said uh that the fact that megan lied about

her sexual relationship with tori is obviously it obviously makes her an unreliable witness if someone lies in front of millions of people how can you trust what they say any other time um and you know he's trying to appeal right now and they're saying that you know they're going to include any false statements that were ever made by Megan now I will point out people were acting like she didn't get on stand and admit that she had slept with Tori the second day that she was testifying in court back when the trial was happening. It's not like she made those statements. She made those false statements on the stand. That's a different story, but she didn't.

No, she talked about it in court. That's what I just said. If she didn't make those false statements on the stand, then it don't matter. Yeah, but people were making it seem like this was a revelation that would bring Tori home. It won't. It didn't help him when they were in court.

So, I don't know. But also too i will say that in the documentary when she talks about kelsey because people were also surprised that kelsey was in the documentary because kelsey who used to be her best friend and assistant and her no longer speaks since all of the shooting stuff i was like wow her and kelsey were also super super close like kelsey was around you know during the passing and the time of her mom that had been friends for years. She kind of stepped into the place that Megan's mom was in at one point,

helping her on the road. And then all that just ended. I know I said this before, but I was sitting there thinking like, she really don't have nobody. Like her mom is not here. Her dad is not here. She's not friends with Kelsey anymore.

It's like, dang. So I was, to go back up to the Tori thing real quick, I don't understand why people don't believe two things can be true like her like her having sex with tori doesn't have anything to do with the shooting incident like i see everybody saying meg lied so they're trying to say if she lied about that and she lied about the shooting i don't believe those two things have anything to do with each other i think it's because it's the lying about sleeping with tori there was uh She was not consistent in a lot of her statements

about what happened. There was a lot of inconsistencies there. So people are basically saying if you talk about that in court, you're not a consistent witness. It's hard to pin somebody for something like she did. But in court, she told the truth about sleeping with Tori. She did, but at the same time, even the detective said that a lot of things

that she was saying in court were not consistent with what she told police prior to that. So, you know what I mean? Like, they're just saying like, yo, how you believe her? Inconsistency. I don't be honest with you, man. I didn't really care. I was more concerned about her calling Gayle King a bitch over and over. Like, Meg, respect your eldest.

No, as a girl. I mean, it was a little harder to hear. No, no, no, no, no. It ain't no as a girl. As a girl, you know she's just being like. No, no, no. That is your elder. Like, okay.

No, it's different. I wouldn't say that. If y'all the same age. I wouldn't say that. I understand. Not about Gayle King. That's your elder. No, I know. I'm wouldn't say that. If y'all the same age, I understand. That's your elder. No, I'm not letting y'all get that. Nope, nope.

That is your elder. So she got to come out with an apology for that. She got to come out with an apology. But my point is, I'm sitting there listening to it as a nice, sovereign man. Like, damn,

why you keep calling Gayle King a bitch over and over? Like, that's your homegirl. She made a good check. That ain't your little friend. The first time I heard it, it was like, ooh. That ain't your little friend now.

Oh, we're going to hear this, girl. That ain't your little friend. first time i heard it was a little it was like that ain't your little friend now oh we're gonna hear this girl that ain't your little friend i do agree gail ain't had no business asking you that all right but that ain't your little friend that's gail's job interviews interviews not really she didn't say disrespectful she was asking because she was trying to see how close they were in that relationship but that was also the rumor yeah there was a the rumor at the time was that her and kelsey i don't even look at gail with that type of interviewer to ask those types of questions. But she was talking about the shooting and they were talking about how close they were. It's not her being messy.

It was relevant to the case. Yeah, I think it was relevant to the case. Why was it relevant to the case? Because the conversation at the time was that her and Kelsey were arguing over Tori because they both had been dealing with him. It was definitely relevant. And that Kelsey found out that Meg had slept with or had been with Tori. Yes, it was definitely relevant. Kelsey found out about Meg. So, or had been with Tori. Yes, it was definitely about Meg. Kelsey found out, yeah, about Meg.

So I don't understand why not ask. I don't care. Yeah. I just don't like her calling a bitch over and over. Respect your elders. That's all. All right. Well, that was just with the mess with Loyola Rosa.

Charlamagne, who are you giving your donkey to? Listen, for after the hour, we need the Nugget Casino Resort in Reno, Nevada. They're coming in front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them. Speaking of respecting your elders. Alright, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Some donkey today just saw themselves. What's up and watching, Charlamagne? What's ready for you? I never heard of a donkey the other day. What is it? Say it again, Charlemagne. Yes. You are a donkey. Everything that Charlemagne

is saying is true. Yeah, the donkey of the day for Friday, November 1st goes to the Nugget Casino Resort in Reno, Nevada. In particular, the security there. Here's one thing I would never understand about security.

It's the same thing I don't understand about law enforcement. I know you have a job to do and I respect it, but why you gotta be so extra about your job? In the words of the Joker, why so serious? Why? See, there was a woman named Heather Venus who was a regular at the Nugget Casino in Reno

for the last three years. Heather and her medical dog, Cherry, would visit the casino at least four to five times a week she has a medical dog who is trained to alert heather if she is about to have a seizure let me tell you how heather describes the nugget casino she said they know who we are when we come in they automatically bring me water for my dog the dog gets free drinks at the nugget casino but atlanta news first said what is typically a home away from home atmosphere was quickly changed a couple of weeks ago when a security guard approached her and told her she had to leave. Would you like to know why she had to go?

Let's go to Atlanta News First for the report, please. Heather Vanis says she's been a regular at the Nugget Casino in Reno for the last three years. Sometimes Vanis says she visits her friends four to five times a week at the casino. Accompanying Vanis on her trips is her medical dog, Cherry, who is trained to alert Vanis if she's about to have a seizure. What is typically a cheers-like atmosphere for Vanis quickly changed two weeks ago when a security guard approached her and told her to leave because Cherry was not present. On that day, Vanis says Cherry had just gotten fixed. Since her fiance was with her at the casino, she felt like she

was safe to leave Cherry home if she had a medical episode. Vanis considered the Nugget her safe place and adds that not being able to see her friends there has been heartbreaking. Now all she wants is an apology and for the Nugget to educate their staff on how to handle others with medical dogs. The Nugget issued a statement that says in part, service animals are always welcome at our property and our team is trained to ensure that all guests are treated with respect and in accordance with federal and state law. Poor Heather, she had no idea she was the plus one. You didn't get the hint when they were bringing

your dog free drinks, but not you. They used to bring the dog water. Okay, all the time. We live in a world where security trusts you with your dog over your fiance.

I understand humans are not, you know, reliable in 2024. I get it. But Nugget Casino, cut it out. This is what I mean when I say security

takes their job too serious. You told this woman that if the dog stayed at home, she should have stayed at home with the dog. Let me ask you a question, security. Once the service dog, you know, Cherry does his job and alerts Heather, she's about to have a season. You do know once the dog does that, then humans and God have to take over. The dog can't do anything for her after he alerts her. So her having her fiance there is actually better. Okay.

Heather says she didn't take Cherry that day because she had just gotten Cherry fixed and she felt like it was safe to leave her service dog at home since she was with her fiance in case she had a medical emergency. I agree. Okay.

A service animal is essential to some folks, but just because someone has a service dog doesn't mean they need the animal every second of the day, especially if they have a perfectly good human with them. Remember us. OK. OK. I know, you know, in the world of service animals and A.I., we can get lost. But human lives matter. All right. Kicking this woman Heather out is like saying we don't trust you to be here without your service dog. Nor do we trust that you can take care of yourself. Your dog knows better than you do. This really feels like y'all got your sensitivity training from an episode of The Office. OK, you got people in that casino gambling away their life savings.

You got people in that casino drinking themselves to death. But you tell a woman without her service dog, she got to go. That's where you draw the line, even though she's there with her fiance. Y'all heard the statement that the Nugget Casino released, right? Where they said they are fully committed, fully committed to complying with all ADA requirements. And they welcome all guests with disabilities who use service animals. Service animals are always welcome at our property. And our team is trained to ensure that all guests are treated with respect and in accordance with federal and state laws. While we can't comment on specific incidents, we remain dedicated to offering an exclusive environment for all our guests heather it just boils down to this the nugget casino likes your dog more than you okay

cherry is the invited guest okay and you are the plus one in fact they think you are cherry's service human that's the only explanation okay they don't care about you or your disability they care about the dog and the irony of this story at least to me is the older i get and the more i get to know people and hear stories like this the more i realize why noah only allowed animals on the ark please give the nugget casino resort the biggest hee haw that's so backwards cold world normally people have issues with the service animal not the people all right and guys he meant seizure not caesar caesar's a haircut it's a salad never mentioned seizure you should shut up you should be quiet he meant you should be quiet you lack so much self-awareness you should be quiet he meant seizure ladies and. He meant seizure. You lack so much self-awareness. You should be quiet. He meant seizure, ladies and gentlemen.

Shh. Shh. He meant seizure. Shh. I'm staying out of this one. Just stay out of it. I am. Okay.

You should touch. All right. I'm going to beat your ass, bitch. You played too much. You played too much. You should touch. That might have been your best joke. That might have been your best joke. And you been your best joke and you ain't even trying

i wasn't joking yo who be joking that's what y'all problem is y'all think i'm gonna be joking i don't be joking i was good i like that that was you should never mention caesar that and there you go then why you go with it sorry sorry i'm a seizure ladies and gentlemen but anyway why would you go back? You don't listen. When we come back, we have Caden Mingo joining us. Caden Mingo plays in Long Island. He's a four-star combo guard. Out of ESPN's Top 100, he's a top 10 player.

And this morning, he's going to decide what college he's going to live on air. You have the hot flashes over there. We can hear the wind. It's hot as hell. Y'all ain't hot? Charlene with the edges. What is going on? God damn. Climate change. That's the devil in them right there if we're all doing all that

devilish acts. But alright. Hot. Kaden Mingo, when we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. We got a special guest in the building.

We got the brother, Kaden Mingo. mingo welcome thank you how you feeling man it's a pleasure to be here it's really a blessing happy to have you man tell them who caden mingo is for those who don't know yeah mingo young kid from long island farm and dill new york got two brothers two loving great parents just a young kid trying to be great at what he does. Amazing basketball player. Four-star combo guard. Yeah. Yeah. I would say point guard, but, you know, it's a blessing to really be noticed as with the stars next to your name and everything. And have my name continue to rise and rise.

So, you know, today's a very special day. But before we get into that, let's talk about how you got into basketball and the love for basketball. Because basketball has changed, I'm sure, for your pops. You know, back in the day, you know, playing the park. And that's how you got your skills up. Nowadays, it's a lot of training and training and more training. So let's talk about how you started your love for basketball and what made you want to put in the effort and time to do it. Yeah, my pops never really played basketball.

He was more of a football player. So I ain't never get none of that from him, really. He will always be in the gym with us and help us. The athleticism, though. The athleticism, yeah. A little bit. And then when I was younger. Damn, pops.

I was looking back like, dang. He wasn't really much of an athlete. He wasn't much of an athlete. He was big. He was tall. He was big. But, tall. He was big. But, I mean, did he play? His jersey was the cleanest jersey, boy, you know.

And then when I was younger, my parents always just had us, you know, with my older brother because he played basketball. He was growing up. He was in high school when we was younger, and I was always, you know. Me and my little brother would be running around in the middle of the games and stuff playing when I wanted to versus each other. So I would really say, you know, just looking up to him as a role model that that's that's when I wanted to play basketball that's what I got it from when you fall in love with it though yeah

fall in love with it did you take it serious probably around middle school around middle school you know uh seeing your name get out there more and more and more people notice you it becomes something you you know begin to really have a more of a love for i always wonder how you how you keep it from feeling like a job like when you are in the position that you in you know you're going to college i'm sure you got pro aspirations how do you keep it from feeling like work uh just just reminding yourself that you you do this fun that's why that's why you started playing for fun and it's it's it's just a sport it's not it's not who you are or anything it's just something you do and what about your grades now you know a lot of times

your grades get you don't really focus on school because you play basketball so much how are your grades and how you making sure you all focus yeah my mom pops the principal so he don't oh you pop the principal you don't play that nah he don't play that i've been on uh on roll every quarter in high school so i would say I'm pretty solid with all that. You said something just not as powerful. You said basketball is just something you do, it's not who you are. You know, I read a lot of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The Power of Intention, and that's something that he always says. You are not what you do. You know, like a lot of us get caught up in that. When did you learn that mentality? It's still something I work on, you know, because it can become stressful, you know, with ups and downs.

But I would say I'm still working on it. But that's something my parents taught me. One of my high school coaches always emphasized Coach J. He always tells us that and reminds us. So I would say ninth grade is when I got introduced to it. My parents always let me know about the concept of it. Now, what players inspired you, like, coming up? Or even right now, like, who are your biggest inspirations?

Right now, NBA players. Yes, NBA players. NBA players. Or retired players, either or. Yeah, I was blessed enough to have Melo in my circle and play with Kyan since young, so I would say he's taught me a lot. He's took me under his shoulder. And then, right now, I like

Tyrese Maxey a lot with Philly. You know, how he operates and how he was able to at such a young age, become one of the faces of the program. What do you like about Maxey's game? Everything. He can really score. He can pass. He can play on or off the ball.

I think it's similar to my game. You won co-MVP. You mentioned Kyan. You won co-MVP at the Aces Hustle and Hearts Classic along with Kyan. Winning that, what was that like for you? What did that mean to you? It meant a lot. You know, with the Aces,

with the history of how many players have came through, it was a good game. It was a good thing that we won the game because it was real close, hard fought. I really appreciate it. What's up, 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.

Kyan busting ass. It's crazy to think I used to be taller than Kyan. You was never taller than Kyan. What are you talking about? He came out the womb taller than you. Out your mind. You pissing. Isn't it crazy?

I think about stuff like that. What year was that? 2024. How long ago was that? Because you about what? Like 5, 2, 4, 11? Kyan what? 15? Probably 15, 14 years ago. 15? Kyan's 17. was that 2024 how long ago was that because you about what like five two eleven eleven seventeen well that's probably sixteen years ago you've never been that tall he never had to say never go to the cabinets that's crazy what's your relationship like now

yeah we cool that's my guy you know real close to him on and off the court that's my dude what advice does melo give y'all uh he just tells us to be ourselves and don't change for anybody and just stay confident through everything and just be level-headed. All right, when we come back, we have more with Caden Mingo. Now ESPN has him as a top 10 high school player. And when we come back on air live, he's going to decide what college he's going to. So we're going to get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilar we're going to get into that next. 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 Caden Mingo. He's a high school player, a four-star combo guard out of Long Island, and he's about to decide what college he's going to next year live on the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne?

Is New York full of distractions, man? I feel like New York would be very full of distractions for young ballplayers like yourself. You could say so. You know, a lot of different parties and different things going on and people trying to, you know, get you and start to get a name a little bit. But I would say you just got to stay focused and keep doing what got you to where you are. The beauty of it is it seems like you got a strong circle, you know? I'm sure they keep you grounded.

For sure. Now, you made the decision to say that you were wanted to announce what school you wanted to go here on the breakfast club what made you want to make that decision to say i want to do it not necessarily a conventional way but to come up here and do it on the breakfast club i mean we appreciate it but i'm just curious to what the reason was it's a first this has never happened no that's that's one of the reasons it never happened before you know uh there's been celebrities up here with y'all so i was really blessed to have the opportunity and you know it was just an idea that me and my agency came up with and then we just made it work from there as soon as they asked me i said yeah for sure your top finalists were uh georgia

penn state virginia tech and way for us what is it about those schools that got them to be your top four choices? Definitely the relationship with the staff, I would say, with all the people in those rooms and, you know, the type of people that they are. You know, having conversations with them, you could get a little bit of a sense of who they are and the fit with the school, opportunity ahead, just feeling somewhere.

Like with those four schools, I feel like I could thrive at any one. And when you're sitting around with your circle, like, when you're talking about things that the school has, what's a non-negotiable for you? Like, yo, this school has to have this for me to go. The girls? Nah. It's kind of stupid. Doesn't all of these schools have girls? None of these schools have girls.

You know what I mean when I say the girls. The the girls it's the difference between girls and the girls no i got it what's wrong with you man come on he ain't never been nowhere i gotta go oh okay what was the question again what's a non-negotiable like what does school have to have oh we never really talked about that but i would just say uh i feel like as far as the coaches go, I feel like me as a family, me and us as a family, we feel like we have to have somebody in position and God in me. That's a God-fearing man, I would say. Dope.

I do have a question. You know, a lot of these players like yourself go to these colleges and they're one and done. Is that what you're thinking right now? Is that what's on your mind? I would love to go one and done, but it's just you know all guys time however long it takes or even if i don't play an nba i would whatever's in store for me what about the academic side you know you know what you would want to study uh i was thinking finance and psychology all right well now the

time is now kate and mingo is about to decide what college he is going to take his talents to. It is between Georgia, Penn State, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest. Let's give the mic to Kaden Mingo. What do you think? This is big. This is big. Next year, I'll be attending. Okay.

Where are we going? Penn State, ladies and gentlemen. Penn State. Congratulations. Wow. Many lives. Thank State. Congratulations. Wow. Many lives. Thank you, Penn. Congratulations.

That's it. I got my hat. Don't play with me. Penn State. Penn State. Penn State. Come on, family. Stand up.

Congratulations. What was it? Why of all the four schools, Penn State won you over? What was the deciding factor for Penn State? You know, just like we talked about, I felt like it was the best fit, best opportunity, best style to play, and also the best relationship with the coaches, especially Coach Rose, the head coach.

I just feel like this is the best place I could thrive and the place I could thrive the most at. You got any partners there? Like anybody that's already playing there? Already playing? Yeah. Nah, not really. Mason Blackwood coming with me, though.

That's my guy. He played in New York versus New York with me. Okay, okay. So y'all going to make some noise next year, then. Yeah, yeah. We're going to try. Well, you make sure you send us some jerseys and congratulations. For sure.

Thanks a lot. I love y'all. Don't think too far into the future, though. I know that you got NBA aspirations, but you got to go bust ass at Penn State first. 100%. I got a friend that went to Penn State, then when he played there He went right to NFL Oh yeah Yeah Devon Steel

I love that merch. Thank you. Certified vibe. Certified vibe merch. Yes, thank you, thank you. We're not selling it yet. I'm only just giving it to the homies. I'm going to bring you guys some at some point before the year ends. But I'm excited because there's a lot of music that dropped,

a lot of good music. We already talked about Tyler when he dropped Noid, but since the project dropped and it made a lot of noise, I want to highlight the Sexy Reg L'Oreal record, Sticky. No, you are definitely the biggest L'Oreal fan I've ever met in my life. Yo, I get in the car, it's turning on and the house is playing. You wake up to it. It's really intense for you. 7 p.m. Friday and they ain't

got you. Okay, welcome to the club. I like Big Lord. And it's crazy. We was having a conversation last week about Tyler, the creator, and where he stands. Tyler gotta be top three of the last 15. This guy's doing 350,000 this week. The numbers are there. He's got it in music

but what class is he like in like big three of even though he's been out he really has been out since blog era the big three was the big three was just something manufactured by the industry it's okay to say that all right it is it is like because it yes we know it was drake it was kendrick it was cole but there was others. Yes. You know what I mean? They may not have been doing the numbers that those guys were doing back then, but somebody like Tyler's been so consistent to where now, again, he's doing 300-something thousand.

He's already got the Grammys and everything else. Yeah. Tyler, that guy. And I went with that record in particular just because he was so niche to now be doing records with like a Glorilla and a Sexy who got that mainstream appeal. It just really speaks to his growth. So shout out to Tyler. Super, super excited and happy for him.

And I really want to go to Camp Flognock, actually. That lineup is sick. Oh, I was supposed to be hosting that. Bitch, you say I'm scrapping while I'm knocking if you bucking, hoe. That line, what? Yeah, but do you want to go? Yeah, I want to go. Okay, let's talk.

Yes, please. Okay, also, Megan dropped the album yesterday. I mean, yesterday, last week, but we didn't get to talk about it, so we're going to do Bigger in Texas. That's hard.

But I had no idea, Meg, without the album. Yeah, I had no clue either. None. I'm like, why are we applauding that? I don't know why I didn't get that.

I mean, I seen the video that she shot with Slim Thug and all the Texas artists pulling on them. It's her whole album the Texas artists I didn't know she did it It's act two to the first one I had no idea There's no way Meg Dastani put out an album For real?

Why do you think the documentary came out? I thought she just was doing all this just because she had that song moving No that song is on the album What the heck is going on? Yes. What's the move to Megan? Bigger in Texas,

but the whole project is tough. If you're a fan of Tina Snow, you'll like that album in particular. Which, side note, my interview made it to the Meg documentary. I was so hyped. Congratulations. Yes, thank you.

I saw that last night. Now it's time for the claps. Yeah, now it's fine. My only complaint is they put interviewer two instead of my name. Damn. If you're listening You know my name is Nylah Simone

Number 2 Or number 1 But Okay Is it fair to use for documentaries Don't they gotta ask permission for that They usually have to get clearance Oh

Well then that would be See but they didn't put my Face They only used the voice Yeah but they used your content Oh they didn't put They didn't put your face Yeah

I don't know how that works They didn't use your face Either way I just want't know how that works. Either way, I just want my credit, okay? So, yeah, I'll be waiting on that. And then, so Jacquees just dropped a project, baby-making project. You know he just had a baby. And the single on there is called Touchdown. Why'd I be playing with Jacquees?

I like his music. Yo, I really like Jacquees. I like Jacquees' music. Jacquees get busy. I like Jacquees. You know what? Just hanging out with Jacquees when I went on that R&B tour, he's a good dude, too. He's a really good dude. So, salute to Jacquees. I like Jacquees. Jacquees get busy. I like Jacquees. He's a good, you know what? Just hanging out with Jacquees when I went on that R&B tour.

He's a good dude, too. He's a really good dude. So salute to Jacquees. Sounds very Pretty Ricky-ish. Why you always hating on Pretty Ricky? Who says I'm hating? Because I remember that I was playing something and you was like,

that don't got nothing on Jodeci, da-da-da-da. And I'm like, yo, why we just can't enjoy? That is too dead-wild. That's too different conversation. But I'm just, yo, why we just can't enjoy? That is two different vibes. That's two different conversations. But I'm just saying. No, I wasn't trying to compare. I was just saying. No, you're not number two.

You're number one. Don't do the Jodeci to Pretty Ricky. It's crazy. No, I was just enjoying Pretty Ricky. You call this R&B. You call this R&B. And then play Jodeci. But you would never.

Charlotte, you would never put on Pretty Ricky to just like vibe? No. I like Pretty Ricky, though, but not never put on Pretty Ricky to just, like, vibe? No. I like Pretty Ricky, though, but not for the bedroom. Not me. It wasn't. Y'all generation, this was dope. Y'all was on drugs. So it's like.

When Pretty Ricky dropped, I was not on drugs. I was like 14 with a sidekick. Okay. Yeah, Pretty Ricky dope. But compared to the Jodeci, no. You compared them to Jodeci? I didn't compare them to Jodeci. I was just enjoying. No, we were debatingci? I didn't compare them to Jodeci. I was just a joint.

No, we were debating something. I ain't just bringing that up randomly. I was playing R&B, like R&B that is just a vibe. And he was like, that ain't it. And then he turned on Jodeci. Because if you're talking R&B, like Pretty Ricky, when they came in, Pretty Ricky to me was like a group that was kind of, it was pop-ish and it had hip-hop elements. It wasn't like straight the R&B I grew up with.

I don't even know how y'all compare the two. Like how they in the same conversation. The feeling is different when you listen. No disrespect to Pretty Ricky. Okay, well Jaquese's feeling gives nostalgic.

It gives 90s R&B, right? Pretty Ricky-ish. Pretty Ricky-ish? That's early 2000s. That's an insult for you. That is not an insult. I can't stand. You saying it's like the MySpace,

like those days of R&B. Yes. I don't see Jaquese and Pretty Ricky together either. I'm just saying that record in particular. That record. Y'all know what he trying to get to. The sound is very like, put it on my MySpace page.

I'm not agreeing with him. That's not an insult. It's just a ranking of a timeline. It's not an insult at all. It's Lutie Jacquees. I don't diss Pretty Ricky. I like that. People be trying to act like Jacquees don't make good music.

I like his music. Yeah, he got mad hits, honestly. Love I like that. I like to see how people be trying to act like Jaquese don't make good music. I like his music. Yeah, he got mad hits, honestly.
