This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer,

the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now. Listen for free on the IHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanko Wally. And I'm Hurricane de Bolu. It's a new year. And on the podcast, Health Stuff,

we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone.

Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Delarocha, a host of Sacred Lessons, a space for men to pause, reflect, and heal. This year, we're talking honestly about mental health, relationships, and the patterns we're ready to release. If you're looking for clarity, connection, and healthier ways to show up in your life, Sacred Lessons is here for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Delo Roach on the IHartRadio app,

But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the Valley of Despair is realizing this would happen, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward.

Yes, it's Friday. It is definitely Friday, man. Happy to be here at the end of the week. That is right. How are y'all feeling? How are you feeling? What's up, Jess? I feel good.

I feel good. Yo, Taylor took me to this restaurant last night. The producer Taylor paid took me to the restaurant. Yo, it's called cakes. It's like all things infused. It's in Queens. In terms of what? T.C.

Wee. Just, yeah. And it's also. so 420 friendly so you can bring your own tree there, you can roll up, smoke, whatever. That's why your eyes were in this morning? No. It's not. I don't have one. Why you don't know?

Why you don't know? That's crazy. Like, you come here with shades in the other day, but when you look high, you know, and you look high. When you high, you don't want to buy you know you high, so I feel like you all automatically would seem out of me high. Yeah, she has. What? Huh? You look high right now. Well, I ain't got high this morning. I got high last night. We can tell. Your eyes are actually low. You squitting that envy for no damn reason at all.

Yeah. So, so. Now you're trying to be. Now you're trying to be. Yeah, it's a dope restaurant. Yo, it's cool. Yo, I had these Thai chili wings. They were infused. No, you can get stuff that's not infused there.

But, like, yo, it's so good. They got this Bobby Schmurter cookie. Yo, it's like an Oreo cookie with, like, chocolate chips. And it's 100 milligrams. I didn't get it. Oh, you're definitely going to start dancing like Bobby Smurdy. It's a hundred milligram cookie. It's so good, though.

Yo, I just feel like they should put, like, more franchises like that around. So it's called cakes. Is Taylor still breastfeeding? No. She's not, no, she's not breastfeeding. She's got a lot of storage, yeah. She's got a freezer full of milk, so she got, but yeah. You're just out here eating T.HC infused stuff and she's still breastfeeding?

She's not, yo. So, okay, so you got to trust them that they know the right amount of THC that they're actually putting in. Yeah, yeah. Because you could leave there and just be done it. No, I know, but look, that's the thing. And I bought a pre-roll and it was $40, but it was two grams, right? So it was good. And they said they don't have a contract with a dispensary because they're not a dispensary.

You know, they got a contract. with the farm. The reason I know you hide is because you're talking with your hands. Whenever you high, you really talk with your hands just to direct the words out of your mouth the right way.

Yo, whatever, yo. Yeah, that is good. Y'all should check it out anytime. Y'all what, too. Jesus. Who we got on the show? Whatever, yeah. Before that, Charlotte, you was out in Howard University.

No, that didn't happen. Oh. I didn't know. Okay, all right. All right, all right. Well, Daniel Seiz will be joining us this morning. Daniel Seiz has a new album. Man, Son of Spurgy.

That is a very talented R&B singer. Daniel Seizza is a very talented individual. Both my kids texted me yesterday, Madison and Logan, my older kids. And they were like, yo, Daniel Sears is on the show. Can I come up? Can I meet him? Like, they were very excited. They said that they are his, that's one of their favorite artists.

They said that's the number one on their Spotify list. And they say that anytime he comes in town and try to get tickets, they said it's always sold out. So they was like Daniel Seaser is highly, highly, highly talented. Very interesting young men. I've heard his music. I don't think I've ever heard him speak. I've never seen an interview with him. Not that he hasn't done him.

I don't think he does. I just haven't seen him. So it was, it's interesting conversation. All right. Well, let's get the show cracker. We got front page news. Mimi will be joining us in a second. And today would have been Alia's birthday.

Mm-hmm. So can we get some Allia on to start the show, please? Absolutely. There we go. Hey. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake your ass up.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jellari. It's Shalameen, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. getting some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Now tomorrow, of course, the NFL playoffs.

The bills take on the Broncos tomorrow at 430, 49. It's take on the Seahawks at 8 p.m. And on Sunday, the Texans take on the Patriots and the Bears take on the Rams. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, everyone. Happy Friday. Peace, Mimi Brown.

Hey, Mimi. Good morning. Okay, so we start this morning with new developments out of Minnesota and a major escalation from the White House. President Trump is now threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. That is a rarely used law that would allow him to deploy

federal troops inside Minnesota without the governor's consent. Now, the warning comes as protests continue in Minneapolis following another shooting involving a federal immigration officer the second in just one week. And those protests, they erupted after a federal officer shot a Venezuelan man in the leg Wednesday night during what DHS describes as a targeted traffic stop. Now, they say the man fled, crashed his vehicle,

He ran on foot and resisted arrest. During that struggle, two other people joined in. And the man who was shot, he is hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Two others are in custody, and the officer was taken to the hospital. Now, after several nights of unrest, the administration is now signaling it will not pull back. And Homeland Security Secretary, Christy Noam, says she has discussed the Insurrection Act with the president and says everything is on the table. Let's listen to what she had to say. We did discuss the Insurrection Act. He certainly has the constitutional authority to utilize that.

My hope is that this leadership team in Minnesota will start to work with us to get criminals off the streets. Remember, we are there in surged operations because of the largest fraud scheme in American history. We had people stealing from taxpayers, stealing funds away from the most vulnerable individuals in this country, people who needed mental health services, developmental services, autism, daycare. Instead, individuals came in much from the Somalian community and stole dollars from those people who needed it and put it in their own pockets and enriched themselves. Did it right under Governor Walls's nose. And we believe that he didn't just know about it, that he may be complicit in it as well. That's crazy to hear them say things, you know, complain about, you know, things like mental health care budgets getting cut when he just rolled back $2 billion in mental health and addiction services.

Two billion, by the way. That's a billion, right? Two billion. And as they terrorized communities, right? You know, my question was, I was watching the news yesterday, and they were showing ICE agents run up on people, and they were just saying, give me your ID. That's crazy.

And later was like, I don't have to give you my ID. I don't have to give you my ID. And they went back and forth, right? And he was like, well, I'm going to put you on the call. We're going to identify you. It's like, I don't have to give you my ID. And they wound up leaving it. But I was wondering, what's the Lord?

Like, do you have to give them your ID? Do you have to show him identification? I thought you had to have, like, probable cause. You had to be doing something. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like you can't just walk up to somebody and request to see the identification. Absolutely, Jess. You are.

You're supposed to have probable cause. But right now in this age, day and age, everything is really blurred. So, you know, they're saying that, you know, if you look the part, then we can stop you. We can arrest you or we can ask questions. However they feel is basically what's been going down in Minnesota. What's looked apart? I was just about to say that. What do you mean look the part?

Look the part. So they're looking for brown people. That's right. Profiles. Great racial profile. That's just crazy. You're Latino getting pulled over. You're African getting pulled over.

Your Mexicans is getting pulled over. You're Somalian, whatever. They are pulling you over. They are stopping you. So there's a lot of that going on right now in Minnesota. And that's literally what all the protests and the unrest that we've been seeing. And I wanted to say, because Christy Nome in that soundbite, she said there, Governor Walt may be complicit.

But there is no evidence that Governor Waltz is complicit in any of that fraud activity. That's very important to say. And we want to mention that all of this is happening. just one week after that ICE agent Jonathan Ross, he shot and killed Renee Good. She was a 37-year-old U.S. citizen. That was during a separate enforcement operation. Now, Governor Tim Walst, though, he says that he has tried to contact President Trump directly, but he is now with no luck, and he is now convening business leaders,

members of Congress, and other governors and community leaders in an effort to cool tensions and reverse course. Now, Walt says this is no longer about immigration enforcement, but about public safety and stability. And still, though, the administration says that federal agents are staying put. And there are reports this morning that ICE officers are now stationed at airports. And if people are attempting to flee the area, they could face detention. Very, very, a fluid situation. And really quick, the president is rolling out a new push to lower health care costs, calling it the Great Healthcare Plan.

Now, Trump says this is about bringing relief to families dealing with high drug prices and rising premiums. us listening to what he had to say. I'm thrilled to announce my plan to lower health care prices for all Americans and truly make health care affordable again. We're doing things that nobody's ever been able to do. We're calling it the great health care plan. Instead of putting the needs of big corporations and special interests first, our plan finally puts you first and puts more money in your pocket.

The government is going to pay the money directly to you. I'm calling on Congress to pass this framework into law without delay. By the way, that's what people care about. I mean, if you really want to distract from the Epstein files, that's what you do, put more money in people's pockets. Yeah, but I'm sure, you know, with that, so there's a little digging that has to be done because this plan it focuses on drug prices,

insurance, cost, transparency, and on prescriptions, Trump says that Americans should pay more of what people pay overseas for the same drugs. And his plan, though, it would allow consumers to buy those drugs, directly through a new federal website, Trumprx.gov. We've spoken about this website before. He says that that will cut out the middleman, lock in those lower

international rates, and he wants to cut, he wants more medications to be sold over the counter. Now critics, though, they are pointing out, there's a lot of things that this plan does not do, and I'm sure as Congress gets back into session, and we move on from some of the other distractions that they will get into that,

but it does not restore the Affordable Care Act subsidies that expired at the end of the year, and they said, without those prices, matter what we do will be high. So it's not a bill yet. It is a framework for the White House, and they want Congress to pass it into law. You know, what you said about other distractions is so true, Mimi, man, because all this chaos happening in Minnesota, I just want the Trump administration to know that none of this is going to make the economy better. None of that's going going to bring down, you know, people's health care prices. None of that is going to stop

food cost prices from rising. None of this will make the conversation about the F steam files go away. All this chaos is not distracting from the fact that they are doing a terrible job at governing and the promise that Trump made to make things financially better for people on day one is not happening. Yeah. All right. Exactly. All right. Well, coming up at seven, experts say one digital mistake is quietly

becoming one of the biggest communication problems of our generation. We'll tell you what it is and why it keeps happening in the next hour. All right. Everybody else get it off your chest. 800 585-105-105.1. If you need the vent on this Friday, call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800

5-8-5-105-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is your time to get it off your chest. Keep calling. 800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Good morning, my breakfast club family.

It's your boy Lovey from the Bronx. Nice love you from the Bronx. How's my family doing? Good, bro. Black and highly favored, sir. Well, I just want to tell you, but I forget how much we have in common. When NB and Payton went through that, bro, I wanted to call you directly because my...

My son had a feeble teacher when he was two years old. Be, I was in tears all the way to the hospital and an ambulance. We had to stay in the hospital for a week. So like, like I said, monitor your kids, especially when they, in this time. I don't know, envy. I don't know if you were in kids, but I couldn't stand up for like two days, right? Yeah, I tell everybody. The reason we told the story is we just really want to make sure parents, you know,

even though sometimes the physicians and doctors say something, you know your kids better than anybody else and you know how your kids act how they move what they do and like I tell everybody if if my wife didn't grab my daughter when we were sleeping and felt something I mean who knows what could have happened

you know I mean she could have had a seizure where she had brain damage she could have been dead don't speak that don't speak that I'm saying I'm saying you have to when you know your kids you got a you just got to stay on top of it you know sometimes the physicians they're wrong like they're not right 100% of the time so

you know you know know your kid better than anybody else. And the sad thing about it, lovely, lovely is so many people DM me talking about the same thing happened to their child or they lost their child because of it

or their child has some type of damage because of it. So it's like, it's something that we just need to talk about more so parents are aware because I have six kids and that was the first time that has ever happened to anybody in my family. You know what I mean? So like I didn't know what, like we didn't know what to do.

It was just like go to emergency room. Like I had no clue. So. you know, those are the things that we just need to discuss so other parents know. Be aware, yeah. Luckily, my sister was a nurse, so I tapped into her, you know,

they just trying to say, like you said, like he had seizures. I'm like, my son don't have no seizures. We don't have any of the seizures than our family. So like you said, as parents, we know our children best, so don't let no doctors trick you out of your game. That's all I called this state because,

because I was in the ambulance, I ain't going to hold you. I was crying, thinking of all the dirt I did. Like, God, please don't take my baby from me for the dirt. did. You heard. Yeah, and I don't want to attack doctors because the doctors are doing the best that they can. Like, even with the, with the fevers and what happened, you know, if they get 100 kids,

they might have one case like this. So usually they just recommend what the norm is, what the usual is. And I mean, the doctors, they fought and they tried and they try to make sure it's right. But like I tell everybody out there, please, you know, just watch your kids. You know your kids been anybody else. Right. And I know before we leave, Jess, your co-parenting skills, I are, or I need a copy of your book, Jeff. I will sing you one, Lovey. Thank you so much.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken.

But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy. as in compassion.

If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight.

Don't Be Dumb It's finally here Long-awaited album has dropped Now there are a few good songs On the album I haven't got fully through it yet But there's one song in particular that people are pointing to

Because you guys know Dricking A set Rock had been beefed for some time They always trade shots Well he threw some more shots Drake's way. Let's take a listen to A set Rocky talking about Drake's BBL on Stole Your Flow. I y'all, I know that was about Drake. I'm just

asking. I don't know. I didn't hear what was... Well, he's talking about a rapper with BBLs. He's talking about Stoia Flo and stealing a flow and still in a flow and still in somebody's girl. There's always been that. And he's had that conversation before about the whole, him feeling like Drake kind of took some things from him and then we know he's with Rihanna. Drake had a BBL? That's what, you know...

That was the rumors. You remember that. I feel like you made jokes about BBL. Every time I hear something about ASAP Rocky's music is him diss and Drake. Like, does anybody ever be like, yo, Aesap's music is just good? I don't never hear that anymore. I don't never hear me like, your Rocky just put out a hot record.

All I hear it is a hot single. No, Rocky diss Drake, and then somebody will play it and then you'll listen and be like, okay. That's more into the album than just that. But also, too, Aesat Rocky was on a pop cast, a podcast, which is the New York Times podcast, where they talk about the culture things.

And he talked about his issue with Drake. What podcast? Popcast. Oh, pop cast. Yes. Let's take a listen to Aset Rock. on the on his issue with Drake or the Drake beef. This record's called Stole Your Flow where you're like not taking so kindly to people biting you.

So obviously internet's going to decide who you're talking about on that song. I think we all know. You know what I'm saying? You're going to say it's Drake. I mean that's a man who was with you in those early days to brought you on tour. Where did things go wrong in that relationship? I don't know. I don't know. I just started just seeing people who just started out as friends and just became foes seemed like they was unhappy for you and you know,

just started sending shots. I think that's what led to any of our misunderstandings or whatever the case is. It really ain't smoke. Does it feel resolvable to you or you think it's too far? No, I don't even need to be. Like, for what? But you're like no secret like that song's for him. It's for whoever feels like it's about them. What? What rapists have stole Rocky's flow? What's the flow? Yeah, what's the flow? That's a great question. What's the flow? What's the flow? They've been saying that for a while when their whole A-side mob actually came out.

They said that they came out with their own style and a lot of artists have. They definitely came out with their own style. Took in their flow and their wilder ways of doing it. I guess he feels drinking is taking this rock. I ain't never heard Drigin, but that sounds like Rocky. Now, I would say A-Sat-Fir got a flow. Like, I can hear him and instantly know it's him. Do you listen to A-Sat-Rocke?

Because I feel like a lot of people talk about A-Sat-Rocke's music, but they don't really listen to it. I've listened to his older music I haven't gotten to the album I, you know, but I... You listen to it, Lauren? I do, and I listen to this. I haven't got fully through it, but I listen to this. So what's the flow that Drake stole from Rockin?

I don't, I think it's just the... You know how Drake has that vibe and that energy of like, I'm the hottest in the room? I mean, every rapper has it, I guess. So maybe that's not... Maybe it is. I don't know. I'm curious to what flow, too. Drake uses everybody's type of flow.

Like, he'll sound like too short on the record. There's like... He'll sound like somebody from the bat. Well, he is from the Bay, but something more artists in the Bay. He'll go Caribbean a little bit. He'll go Caribbean. Yeah, then he'll sound like, you know,

Latino. Torre, a little, yeah. He kind of goes everywhere. I would love to be educated. I just don't, I don't personally hear a lot of people sounding like A-Sap Rocky out here. I just, I mean, educate me if I'm missing something, people, please. Well, you ask if there were other records on the album,

other than Drake's, so there is a song called Player, which is one of my favorites on the album. I mean, in that record, he's actually talking about it being player that he's with one woman. He's taking care of his kids. And he talks a lot about that in his interview with Popcast as well. Talking about Rihanna, how she changed his life and just where things are now. Let's take a listen to ASEM Rocky

on Rihanna. A woman would change your whole life, especially if it's a companion. Before I had my children, it was like being with my girl took a blindfold off. As soon as you get with a girl, she'll tell you like, that's not your friend. That's your friend.

And to be clear, you didn't just get with any girl. I know I got with a very special woman It was just like we were on the same page Born the same year My dad is from her country When I go back I get to see both sides of my family It's so many similarities It's just funny we laugh about it a lot

She was always my boo you know what I'm saying Like I always f***ed with her My mother used to say Like I know you like this girl that you with right now I ain't gonna say no names But I want you with Riri It's like mom why you keep saying that Mom girl's your business

Yeah, that girl don't even like want me like that. Like telling you, she real. And mother's no best. I'm thankful that, you know, she was putting my life at that time because I think any time prior to that, you know, I don't think I was ready for something like that. No, drop a clue to Bob Markey.

I absolutely 100% agree with him on that. Does he have any songs on the album reflecting? Yeah, the song I just said, and again, I haven't listened to the full album, so there may be more but player. We don't have it cut, but player, is that song that you can listen to. And he talks about...

It is player to be a beautiful. And it's just a vibe. Like the song itself is a vibe. But then when you get into the actual lyrics, you're like, oh, okay, Rocky. Like, you heard you. Now, we'll say he's starting arguments this morning, though, because there's a woman out there getting cheated on,

listening to that, screaming on her boyfriend. See, why you can't be more like Rocky? Why you can't be more like Rocky? And now that man got to look at her and be like, because you ain't Rihanna. But maybe that man not in the right part of his life either. That's the big thing that is that Rocky said. He also talked about like he was dealing with so many women at one point

that it just became empty. said he had to get to the place where he was like nah this is like he's like I'm just I'm not with this no more listen when the young man right he right yeah well as we rap he figured it out right on time what you mean right on time

well he figured it out right at time he dropped all those other women and that's right and stay with Ruirii had children had his family he said right on time it sound like his like he was being like threatened like you better get it together I think he just figured it out because he loved her nope nobody else took it like that but you I just said he figured it out

maybe that triggered me I don't By the way, God in the universe can threaten you. You can know in your own heart and head like, yo, I'm not doing it right. And if I don't start moving right, man, bad things are going to start happening. That's exactly what he looked. I mean, not exactly verbatim, but that is the just of what he was saying. Figured it out right on time. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, speaking of figuring it out right on time or not. So we talked a bit about the influencers Christy Scott and Desmond Scott the other day in here. Yo. There has now been a video released of Desmond Scott in a bar kissing a lady. And we're going to get into him. We're going to get him. into the things next hour.

Damn it, man. Already? Already? Jesus Christ. Are we judging? No. We'll talk about it later. Yeah, I am kind of judging. But anyway, all right, we'll talk about it later. Everybody else, we've got front page news next. And then Daniel Seeser will be joining us. We'll get to that next. It don't go

anywhere. Oh, and donkey today. Oh, yeah. Today is Friday, man. So we do the People's Donkey. You can call in right now and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. 1-800-5-185-1. If you want to give somebody the biggest he-ha, you can call up right now. And we allow you to do that.

It's the breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Hilarious. Shalaman N. Guy. We are the breakfast club. I just want to tell you, on this Friday,

I can tell Jess is high. I've never heard somebody asked for a piece of somebody's hard boy. That's a piece of egg. Can I get a piece of your egg? It's a... It's a... It's not scrambled.

It's not scrambled. It's a lot of... A piece of a hardball air. That's crazy. You just break it and give me a piece. You want something. Oh, yeah, yeah. Let me get a cheese danish.

I got you. All right. Let's get some front page news. Jesus Christ on this Friday. All right. NFL. Now, playoffs is this week and the bills take on the Broncos tomorrow

at 430, 49 to take on the Seahawks at 8 tomorrow. And on Sunday, Texas take on the Patriots at 3 and the Rams take on the Bears at 6.30. Who y'all got? Who y'all got? Who are you got? Yeah, that is cool. That ain't going to happen. Who you got?

For some reason, I don't know. I got a feeling about the bills for some reason. That don't mean anything because I've had a feeling about the cowboys for the past 28 years, so don't listen to me. I don't know. For some of these, I think the 49 is. But anyway, what's up, Mimi? Good morning, NB, Jash Alamein. How y'allem this morning?

Hey, Ma'am. Good morning. So we start this hour in Washington where there's new pushback this morning after comments from Agriculture Secretary Burke Rawlins about food affordability. Now, Rollins argued that the administration has run simulations showing that it's possible to eat healthy without spending more and even claimed food prices are going down. Now, in an interview, Rollins suggested that families can follow the. the administration's new dietary guidelines and keep costs down by eating what she described

as a $3 meal. Let's listen. Is while we're asking Americans to reconsider what they're eating, are we actually asking Americans, especially those who are living on the margins, are we asking them to spend more on their diet? And the answer to that is no. We've run over a thousand simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, you know, corn tortilla,

and one other thing. And so there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money. Where? Where can you get chicken and broccoli and a tortilla for $3? Like, wait, that's... There's no value meal in America that is doing that for $3. Not fast food, nowhere.

I mean, McDonald's is $9, $10. Popeyes is $15. I don't know what they're talking about. I own Crystal franchises. I think the meal that we have, that's the lease is $4.99. That's two Crystal burgers, small fry, and small jobs. Damn, that's good. That's really good.

Yeah, and notice she said a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, right? And so, um, House Democrats, or excuse me, the Ways House and committee, they, along with several Democratic lawmakers, lawmakers, they posted online, several images mocking the $3 mail, showing just how out of touch the administration is with everyday grocery prices. Now, federal data, though, it shows that grocery prices, they rose. again in December with beef, chicken, excuse me, brief, coffee, produce, all getting more expensive.

As families, you know, we're already stretched thin, rent, gas, child care, health care costs now. And so they argue that telling struggling families to get by on a $3 plate runs hollow, especially as the Trump administration signs off on billions of dollars in spending elsewhere.

These comments, they come as the administration is rolling out those new federal dietary guidelines that are shaping school lunches and government nutrition. programs, these changes. They want to focus more on whole food, less sugar, and bringing whole milk and 2% milk back into schools.

But online, they are getting ripped really bad with Americans complaining and saying that they don't understand and what they're saying does not line up with how much it actually costs to put dinner on the table right now. Yeah, when they say things like this, I'm like, who are they talking to? Like, when they say food prices are coming down, who are they talking to?

And they don't realize how ridiculous they sound because everything healthy costs. to a juice ball every day and spend like $60. My wife be like, stop doing that. We're going to make this at the house. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Definitely for sure. And switching gears here, Arkansas is making a major

change inside its prison system. So starting February 1st, inmates in Arkansas prisons will no longer be allowed to receive books, magazines, or other printed materials directly from the outside, even if it was sent from a publisher, a bookstore, or a nonprofit. State

correction officials say, the goal safety, specifically keeping drugs and other contraband out of prisons. Let's listen to what they have to say. We have found that printed materials, books, magazines, newspapers is one of the top ways that illegal drugs are getting into the facility. A lot of these pages are soaked in K2. They're soaked in these illegal drugs. When you're getting 400-page books that are being sent in, we can't test every single page of every single book. And so this is what it is. It's nothing against trying to, you know, heart the freedoms of inmates, it is a safety issue trying to make sure that we're doing everything we can to keep that contraband out.

Yeah, and the Department of Corrections, they say inmates won't be cut off from reading altogether. Each prison will still have a library, and inmates can request books through librarians or chaplains, and donated books from libraries and bookstores will still be accepted, but everything, of course, will be screened before it reaches inmates. But some people are pointing out that this is a blanket ban, warning that action. access to books matter, especially for rehabilitation. They will continue to monitor that and see how that looks for those inmates and sort of like a model for other prisons around the country. And if you are a parent, this one is for you.

If your kids are glued to YouTube shorts and stuck in that endless scroll, the platform is rolling out a new parental control designed to give you more say. So YouTube now lets parents limit or completely shut off shorts for teens. So if you supervise your child's account, you can set daily short limits anywhere from two hours to zero minutes. YouTube is adding bedtime reminders and take a break alert. They're building on screen time tools that already exist for children under 18. The changes come as more parents and lawmakers, they are raising concern about short form videos, warning that they're built to keep kids hooked and can be especially addictive for teens.

Jess, what about your son? Do you ever notice? Do you allow him to go on YouTube and scroll or how does that look for your family? Yeah, but he's, Ashton is not, he's not on the phone all day, though, because he does other things. Like, you know, like he likes to read. He's into football. He exercises. He works out with a physical trainer.

You know what I mean? So he got his own, you know what I'm saying? He got his own thing. Now, he does scroll, but his scrolling, he don't, he don't do it excessively. I'll say like a few hours out of the day. Yeah, we don't need that just for teens either. We need that for adults as well. Because I hate when I death's crying.

I hate when I death's growing. And it just happens. It's like going in your room looking for something, and then you forget what you came in there for, and then you start doing something else. That's how I feel sometimes when I go on Instagram. And then you look up and it's like, damn, it's two hours later. Yes, man.

What the hell? So we need that for us. And two, two is crazy. Yeah, two is crazy. Maybe 30 minutes. Something, I mean, but just still, you get lost in it, no matter what it is. But I notice with my kids, they specifically look for something. Like, my girls, they look for dancers.

So they'll be watching other dancers. Stuff that they love. Yeah, stuff they love. I do too and tell the Kamala Harris AI pop up on my page and it's hard dancing like a fool. And you like, man, what the hell? Yo, because you like, you subscribe to all the shenanigans. So that's why all that stuff pop up.

All right, y'all. Well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories, follow the Black Information Network. Download the free IHeartRadio app or visit BINNews.com. Please, Mimi. Thank you, me, me.

Thank you, too. All right. Now, when we come back, Daniel Seaser, we'll be joining us. We're going to be quick it. We're going to be kicking with R&B singer Daniel Sears. Don't go anywhere as the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious.

Salameen the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lonal Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel Caesar. Welcome. Thank you. How you feel?

Hey, yeah. If nobody else, go applaud you, barge yourself, Dan. How are you? This guy gets it. How are you, man? I'm great. I'm great.

I just got out of 48 hours of, um, stomach, not stomach flu. What's the other one? Oh, man. A bad sandwich? Food poisoning. So I feel, I feel renewed. I feel like a new person, detox.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. You sure it wasn't the stomach, but, you know, the stomach virus was going around. I've been hearing about that, but it was like a day. A day? Yeah, that's the same thing. It's a same thing.

You are. What a talented R&B singer you are. Yes, you are. Absolutely. I was listening to Son of Spurgy. First of all, explain the title. Son of Spurgy. Is that he pronounced it?

Spurgy. Okay. Yeah. That's something. dad's my dad's nickname he's from jamaica he likes to anytime he's talking he'll he'll go into a sermon at any moment there's a famous preacher called charles spurgeon so they they called him spurge you when he was young i want to i want to go back a little bit if y'all don't mind for people that don't know who daniel caesar is uh you're from canada and tell tell everybody how you got into the music industry

and your background your father you said is jamaican and break it down a little bit for people that don't know. Yeah, my, my dad was a singer back in Montego Bay when he was young. No, well, I mean, he always sang in the church since he was little. My grandmother heard that he could sing from school and she's like, if you're not singing church, I'm a beat your ass. So, but he was like doing dinner music and stuff at hotels, Jamaican tourism industry. And so he ends up in Canada, meets my mom from Barbados, and they both meet in Canada. and uh and then i'm like singing when i was little it's kind of just it's kind of just all of i used to just run around the house i used to play by myself a lot i would just like sprint up

and down the house and i'd be singing to myself or whatever and then yeah and then high school came around you started smoking weed and going friends have studios and it's a long story yeah it's a long story but um yeah around like high school i got kicked out of school and i was like it was around that time where i was like um the way this whole thing is set up like i'm not about to i hate I'm really bad at school. I don't enjoy school. And then I was like, oh my God, one day I'm gonna finish school. And then I'm gonna have to get a job.

And that's like school too. So I'm like, am I gonna do the rest of my life? And I'd rather die. Jesus. Yeah. No, I'm serious, though. I saw I really feel like that. You felt like that at the time.

You don't wanna die. No, no, I do feel like. I would rather die. I don't wanna die. I'm gonna do what I want. Yeah, yeah. Like you say you want to be doing what you love. It's, yeah, doing what I love.

Okay. I don't just want to die for no, no, no. If you're going to make me do something I don't want to do, I'll give me liberty or give me death. Oh, okay, okay. That was like revolution, though, not like, you know, because you were just... I mean, sometimes being alive is a revolutionary act.

That is very true. You feel like, you know, if they don't want you... They're trying to control you or make you be something. Yeah. That, yeah. Yeah. So is it true that your dad kicked you out the house and that's when you really took it serious?

No, my dad did not kick me out of the house, but my dad did, which I respect as time passed. Of course. he was like, you're not just going to sit around here and sing songs and not go to university. And he had a heavy Jamaican accent, I'm sure. So it was... Only when he's angry.

He actually has a great telephone voice for getting jobs and stuff like that. But yeah, he's like, you're not just going to sit around here in my house and, like, not participate in this world that's going on outside the way that we think you should. So I was like, oh, okay, then I'll, you know. He's very strong-willed. I'm also very strong-willed.

So I was like, okay, I'll live outside. It's honestly, you know what's crazy? I think if I was alive like, I don't know, 500 years ago, I would have been like a pirate or a vagabond or something. You know what I mean? So you went to be homeless? I don't want to be homeless. I just didn't want to do anything that I didn't want to do.

I'm saying, were you, did you leave the house and go be homeless though? Yeah, I was. They lived on the streets. I was like couch surfing. You have friends, and then there's always a home to go. It's just like I was very strong-willed. So it's like there's always a home to go. to but I have to go back under my father's rules and my father's you know what I mean

I respect it respectfully you have a homeless aesthetic but I mean it's probably a thing going on no no I love you bro it's definitely not your hair I love her hair no it's why yeah no idea on purpose you are not strong willed you are stubborn that's what it was you're stubborn as hell because you told your dad how old were you when your dad gave you that ultimatum uh 17 okay that's around the age where you like, thank you, yeah, all the things? I mean, from my perspective,

it turns out I did know, you know what I mean? Because he was telling you. That was wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. And I believe, and I also believe, like, they didn't raise a dummy, right? So it's kind of like, I think everybody deep down knows what they should be doing.

And then the universe is going to keep throwing things at you to suggest that you shouldn't be doing that. Gotcha. To scare you. And, like, being homeless or being poor is very scary. Did you sing for like change and stuff? No, no, no. Oh, okay, okay.

It wasn't that. It's called the corner. No, I don't want to, it was, don't want to over-dramatize it. I had, I was a dishwasher. I would wash dishes in a restaurant. He just went on on his own and figured it out. Yeah, figured it out. Yeah.

But I want to hear about the signs that told you you should be singing. I know the signs that, you know, told you the things you shouldn't have been doing, but what were the signs that showed you should be singing? My, I remember in, I went to like this, this, um, boarding school. like Christian Academy and so on Friday nights it was seven day Adventists so on Friday nights we would have Vespers kind of like Shabbat sort of situation

and I remember it was around that time when I was like all right I used to play sports and I was like all right I'm not that great at sports so I'd started singing and playing the piano and they had me perform at Vespers and I sang this song and I not even joke I feel like 30% of the of the people in the audience were like sobbing and it was cool. It was very and it was like guys, girls.

Some guys who their whole thing was like, I'm tough. You know, like whatever. And I was like, oh, this is interesting. Like the power was, I was like, oh, this is what I'm good at. I'm useful at this. I'm valuable when I do this. So why not just do this so I can feel valuable all the time? You know what I mean?

Did your pops, when did your pops come back and be like, you made the right decision? Or has that not happened yet? It has. And I mean, probably like, I've played some pretty big shows. You know, they were at Madison Square Garden. That was one of them. Probably when we did in Toronto, Budweiser Stadium, or not stadium. It's not a stadium.

It's an amphitheater. But it was just all those people singing the songs in here. He was like, okay, I got it now. And you honored them. You honored them, you know, by name of your house. I'm not going to spurge you putting his face on the cover. Yeah. How does he feel about that?

You know what? He's so, he's just such an interesting guy. He's so cool. But what he did, I put out a letter talking about my experience with him before that came out. And that was the thing that really got him emotionally. But he's, you know what I mean? He's not like, yeah, I'm your dad. Yeah, you should.

It's about time you put me on the camera around. You know, you've been very open about like your struggles with identity. and faith and self-worth. I wonder at this point in your life, who is Daniel Sears still unlearning to be? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I internalize everything. So that's kind of how I moved to the world.

I kind of, I think it's like, because my dad is such a, he's an immovable force. So if I want something and I want to change his mind, you just can't. So when people exhibit behaviors around me in the world, I just assume that that's who they are. I don't, like, I don't believe in like, hey, what you did made me feel this way

and maybe you could change your, no, that's who you are. I'm either going to, and then it's like, I don't like that because then the next time you do it, I either have to be like, all right, I guess I'm just going to take it now. Or eventually I'm just going to have to separate from you, you know? So that sort of confrontation, it's like people are going to be who they are until you decide what you're going to do about it. And it's, there's violence or,

there's emotional violence or there's running away. Detachment, yeah. Or detachment. And so I just always kind of went through the world. Like some people are like this, some people are like that. Then you internalize it. And then I put the responsibility on myself, how am I going to get around this?

How am I going to not let that stop me from where I'm trying to go? But then you don't realize what you sacrifice in yourself by not addressing some things when they happen in front of you. You know what I mean? And it's like, and then you're like, I am a crash out, you know? And sometimes it kind of just jumps out of me at the wrong times because I'm not addressing the things when I'm supposed to address them. You know? And then you're just like, and you sometimes, then you, you think that makes you a good person by not trying to control other people.

And then the weight becomes too much. And then you, you, you, you, you crash out. And then you're like, damn, I wonder how many times I've hurt. people that I care about because I was living my life in this way that I thought was right. You know what I mean? Because usually you go to work and your your your your boss or whatever is is putting a on you and then you take it and then you go home and then your kid asks you for the new PlayStation and you yell at him yeah you know and so it's just kind of like the context

of the world we live in it's just like it is capitalism it is like somebody's somebody's got to get screwed at the other day. It's exploitation. This whole is built off of exploitation. Someone's got to get it. And usually it's the weakest, most genuine, kindest, friendliest person. I wonder why you internalize, uh, I guess other people's bull's. Because I, you know, I love the four agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. And one of his agreements is don't take anything personally because usually when somebody does some bullsh, you would have

nothing to do with you. And exactly to what you just said, something that's going on with them. 100% but then sometimes it's also like pattern recognition you know like why do you keep attracting these type of people yeah it's like what about me

makes it feel like because I because it's almost naivete where it's like oh if I go around through the world and I treat people with respect then people respect me right isn't that how it works and then you're like oh no sometimes you have to make people scared of you and it's a

Machiavellian like fear is stronger than love you know is there a part of it too that maybe is there like a longing for something from those people because like you mentioned patterns and are those patterns hurting you when you continue to see them happening

because you're trying to figure out why you're not worthy of that changing? Yeah, I think that was very good. I think so. Because you mentioned your relationship with your dad a lot. Yeah.

And in your letter you talk about how he would warn you through, he would talk to you through stories and warned you about how the world was and he's like very stern and very strong. Somewhere in there it feels like you know, there was a longing for something that you wanted from him that he tried to give you, but it wasn't the way you needed it.

Yeah. Which is the oldest story. Of course. You know what I mean? And it's just, but this record, 100% true. And this record is kind of just like, I know that man very well. And in all things, he tries very hard. You know what I mean?

He's a very principled man. He's an honest man. But just some things, you know, like dad's dry. There's just some things that, okay, my actual, this is all connected, I promise. Well, my actual real theory or real beef is just like, does it ever feel like, like the, the way that we structure societies in the West, the nuclear family? Does it ever feel like that's not natural to people? Like, like, you know what I mean?

Like, all the, all the people that I know that are good at monogamy are good at, you know, just that sort of nuclear family are white. You know? And so I'm just... I disagree with that. What do you mean? No, well, all the people,

I'm talking about personally through my life. You know what I mean? It's so much responsibility to put on one man in a house What, to be safe for like... Well, for... I'm speaking about for me.

Yeah, I would say to be faithful... I'm 30. 30, okay, okay. To be... You still got a different type of... Oh, my God. And that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah.

So it's like you're faithful with that man now. Now. But there was a time. you're supposed to provide. You're supposed to go out and deal with all this in the world that you're protecting your family from, your girls. You're supposed to go out, provide,

deal with all this shit, protect. And someone gets to tell you what you can and can't do with your shit as well. You know what I mean? I don't think it's about somebody telling you what you can and can't do when you decide to make vows with a woman and you tell God this is the woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with and be faithful.

You made that commitment. Exactly. which is why and I have a woman in my life that I love and I care about very much but it feels irresponse-no, she's not. Okay. She's not. But it feels very irresponsible of me to make that promise. Because you're not ready.

Yeah, I don't think so. But I'm like, am I going to be ready when I'm 50? You know what I mean? But that's honest though. It is honest. But that's the way you should be. I respect it. And most people our age wish we would have been that honest a long time ago.

That's a level of emotional intelligence a lot of us didn't have. Yeah. You're in a home in the suburbs and you have a car and you have a backyard. And all this is happening in everybody's homes. And we're supposed to go out and, like, not talk to each other. Look how kids behave. My mom takes pills to go and they're at the park. Talking about my mom does this.

They want to connect. They want to go out and whatever. And we train them from young. No, your neighbor's not your friend. That's the thing. These societies, there's too many people. And you get on the bus and you might get stabbed in your neck or something. Like, because there's no trust.

What was your household like that? up. It was great. It was a Caribbean household. You know what I mean? I grew up on this, this, this, this private high school academy. My parents, my dad worked there, right? This was a white school, white, white town, white, white, white, white, white, white, white. And so I'm the only Caribbean family on this street where all the, um, rich white kids live. Yeah, they weren't even, they weren't even rich. It just felt like they're rich because they all had cottages and shit, but they were, everyone's making the same amount of money. Yeah. And, and, And, yeah, and so it's purely just like everyone, everyone gets beat as a kid. But like when you live on that street, you're the only one that gets beat, you know? And then all these things feel so much more egregious because of, because of proximity to what everyone's living like around you. You know what I mean? And so, can I get older? Was your dad, was your household growing up, a tight household where it was just your mom and your dad?

And you've seen that union that you're looking for it. 100% 100% but I also see what is sacrificed in oneself to sustain that so you have conversations with your father like about like about that have you had conversations did he tell you that he was faithful to his wife I mean I don't know did he tell you he was happy right yeah but it's it's kind of like sometimes it's like he's he's bound by honor he's a man of his word you know what I mean and so it's like you are my kids I'm not going to run out on you but you can't lie about what's going on in your head, like, when you come home and you're like, bro, this again?

You know what I mean? It's like I'm doing the job because I'm bound by honor to do the job, but I would rather be out being a person, being free. When you were younger, did you have a lot of girlfriends or were you the one that didn't, that, because you went to a white school, they didn't appreciate you like they should have. Yeah, I didn't date until ninth grade. And that's the reason why he probably feels the way that he did.

He never really felt accepted when you was growing up as a kid. He never had to love. He never had that friendship. That's what he's great. He called you ugly. All that stuff. But that's the reason. But that's the reason he's acting like he is because he never had that love growing up. So now when he's a celebrity, he's a star, he can pick and choose where he slings his. And even then, though, it gets empty at some point because and have a baby with me, right?

Of course it gets. But. But with me in parentheses. Yeah, because that was funny. That's intense. Is that an idea like have a baby with me? Yeah. But now with the other dude. So what woman left you that you was like, don't leave, please.

I'll put a baby and you don't leave. Okay. Okay. No, no, so, um, this is the, like the girl that I wrote, uh, my first Freudian about was, yeah, that was like a whole, that was a whole thing. And, um, but I have a baby is like, it's funny to put it in parentheses. Yeah, because of the experiences that I have. That's my other thing like with you really you neck. So yeah, you guys, you nailed it.

It's um, in relationships, I can't help but feel like it's about controlling what the other person does. I feel controlled when I'm this person, I feel like going over here and doing this or running around and doing that. And you tell me it hurts you, but I'm, I'm just being myself, you know? So what do you want me to do? You want me to be somebody else? This is, I didn't get you by being somebody else. I got you by being myself.

You know? But at a part in the song, when you're talking to her, it sounds like she's like putting her clothes on, she's about to leave, but that's like the physical, but in like thinking about it, she's kind of tapping out of the relationship, right? You're almost like begging her to not at some point because you realize that you started all these little fires

and it got you to this point and you just want to give her that dream like what she thought or where she thought you guys would end up so how are two things synonymous like how do you feel like that but then when she's putting on her clothes and she's ready to leave you like no have a baby with me

with me like let's do this thing like how is that yes because I'm selfish is your ass toxic yeah he said he's selfish yeah I'm glad that's very self-aware yeah selfish was there a woman that changed you though was there a woman that made you start acting like that or when you started being the one that

these women started liking it changed you because at one time, I'm sure you didn't feel accepted. How you don't like you, though. Maybe it was rejection. How you know it's not just a fame or the money or a celebrity. I mean, you don't. You don't know. It's only over time.

And is that why you're being selfish? Like, I don't know why you like me because they didn't like me. So I'm just going to sling to everybody. I have a baby with me. Yeah, because I want an artifact of our love. I want an artifact. No, no. You ain't ready to have kids.

Yeah. Yeah. Jesus Christ. So you love the idea of what that is. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah. Not in the buns, in the bun. No, no, no, no.

Okay. So no one's pregnant. No, no, no. Yeah, okay. Give them some time to process the question, though. Yeah. Oh, internalize. Go ahead.

That's so interesting. Is Artifact that crazy? Yes. Yes. It sounds like you want an emblem. Like a, Daniel. Stop in a gift shop at an airport. It's like a souvenir.

It's like a souvenir. They call a baby that? Yeah, that's crazy. When I say artifact, I mean, like, I don't mean, I don't mean, I want to have a kid and then disappear. I don't believe in that. I'm like my dad where it's like bound by honor, you know,

to something like that. It's just more of a, it's more of a, I don't think I can be married. I just want a co-parent. You said all of that just to say this. I just want to co-parent. I give them a copy of your book.

Jess has a book coming out called Tell Deaf Do We Parent on Black Privilege Publishing, Simon & Schuster, and it's all about co-parenting. Yeah. So I just, okay, so do you just, So you co-parent? Mm-hmm. I co-parent well with my son's father, yep.

So she's married to just so you. And I'm married. Oh, you're married. You're married? You're married to my son's father. I'm married. Your son's father was divorced or was it just a... No, no, no.

That was just a relationship. We met when we were, what, 19 or something like that, and we had a baby. An artifact of their love. And then, oh, my... My son, Ashton, you are not an artifact, Ash. But, yes, we did have an artifact. His name's Ashton? Yes, Ashton.

My name's Ashton. Is it? Yeah, that's what my mom called me. I thought his name was Daniel. No, no, no, no. That was the whole other. My dad was like, if you're not going to sing gospel music, you can't use my name. Wow.

Damn. Okay. So, okay, so you've never been divorced. No, that's my first time being married. I love it. It's great. Okay. I've only been married for like seven, eight months, though, but yep.

So we're newlyweds, but yep. I love it. Okay. You're going to read this book. Can I get you? Yes, you can have this. Yes, we can't. Yes.

Yes. Did you advise him to start out co-parenting first if he knows as what he wants to do. or do you advise him to like no no no no no we want them to read it but go no i wouldn't advise him bringing it back down you were saying you have a kid go action you were just saying yeah i yeah oh yeah no just like um i am just kind like i'm just very anti-divorced and i'm just like why why can't i just promise someone what i know what i believe that i can promise them or i could promise them more than i think we could i should promise them we get divorced and then we still end up doing this anyhow.

How many people are out here to cope? I'm just, I'm just big self-aware and trying to circumvent, and maybe that's, maybe it's cowardice, trying to circumvent the pain or the, you know, but it's just kind of like, it's like, you know, shortcut, baby, all right, let's co-parent right here right now

because I know I cannot be, I can't participate in the act of monogamy with you right now, like, because that's not how I feel. Marriage, it does not serve me. I don't like it, all the things attached to it. I do want a child. I want my own offspring, though, and I would love to co-parent with you. That's what it is.

So you got to find somebody that's like you that is okay with that to do that with. And there are women like that. All your money and your shoes as well. No, but you play around with these women like that. It is right. You just, you don't want them shoes. You got to. No, no, no, no.

And these are, I haven't getting so many compliments at least. But, no, no, no. But there are women who love, who will do that. And I know I can pay. pick a woman to have a child with. I have real, I have values. One of the major reasons as to why, and people are going to be upset with me for saying this,

as to why the institution of marriage is suffering so much, is because I personally think that there was farther back in society. It's a little thing, like, with, like, farther back in time, there was a clear distinction amongst, the classes of women in society. There were, there were women that you court, and they don't, and they're, you know what I mean?

And that you don't have sex before marriage and all this stuff, and then, you know, you do the whole thing, and there were prostitutes. And there was a clear distinction in society, and men weren't just like, not. Tupac said that, too. Tupac said there between bitches and holes and black queens. Exactly.

I don't know if I agree with that, but I understand what you're saying. I'm, I also, because all people are, I'm talking about the systems in which we live. They had to pick. You have to pick. All women, because all women want to be free and to experience. Prostitutes, the benefit of being prostitute is you get to,

you're not beholden to all these different rules that the wives have to be holden to. You can be free, you can move to society as you want. You know what I mean? However, obviously your life is highly in danger. You know, all these different, you're looking down upon. But you only have to be as excrement as prostitute. Like, there's mistresses that feel like that. There's a mistress that feels like, I don't want to be.

be the wife. I'm just happy being I know, but now we're getting into subgroups. If you, if you boil it down, it's like the wife is going to call the mistress a prostitute. Same thing. You know what I mean? Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. And the whole is the prostitute. So the girl that excites you that you have a baby with, she's on the courting

side, for sure. Or is she on a prostitute side? Is she a too? Who knows? She a teat? Exactly. And this is actually there's actually where I have to I, yeah, you, you stop talking about it because now it's too personal. One of my favorite songs on the album, by the way. It's also my favorite.

It's a beautiful, man, you have one of the most beautiful voices ever. So talented. I'm so glad to meet you. We appreciate you for joining us. Absolutely, dang. It was a great conversation for you. I feel free to come back, man. Absolutely.

Pass the vibe check. Absolutely. You pass the vibe check. You are a vibe. So come back when I'm... We might search you when you come back, but... You know. Is Daniel Caesar?

It's the breakfast club. A new year doesn't mean erasing who you were. It means honoring what you've survived and choosing how you want to grow. It means giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike Dolorotcha, host of Sacred Lessons. This podcast is a space for men to talk openly about mental health, grief, relationships, and the patterns we inherit, but don't have to repeat.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions.

Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others.

Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you do.

The answers were there, hidden in plain sight.

So why did it take so long to catch him?

You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact. in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about.

Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy.

Because he's essentially saying men are in these marriages and they're faithful because the system tells them to be, not because they actually want to be. They don't want to be in that situation. I disagree with that, but, you know, we can we can have a conversation if y'all want to. I do think there's a lot of couples out there that might be together for circumstance and not necessarily because they want to anymore. There's a lot of that. Maybe it's for the kids. Maybe it's because they're comfortable. I see that like, yeah, it is.

Yeah, but people do. You hear about it all the time. Wendy Williams said that she waited to divorce, Kevin Hunter, until her son with the college. A lot of women do that, too. Men do it as well. But then look now what? I never heard when you say that. She said that multiple times.

It's in her movie as well, too, that she waited until her son with the college. Which one? The one on Lifetime that she said she didn't like. Yeah, well, let's get to the latest with Laura. We'll do that next. Yeah. What is your talk, LL.Cube. Yeah.

I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that, take me through there. The latest with Lauren on the breakfast club. LL. Coolback. Talk to me. All right, so speaking of, you know, monogamy and all the things, so Desmond and

Christy Scott, these are the influencers who showcase their life, their love, and their family all throughout social media and Christy recently filed for divorce and she said that there was infidelity. She cited infidelity and said that there was no chance of reconciliation. So there's a new video that surfaced yesterday of Desmond out at a bar with a woman.

And the woman is on his lap. They are very passionately kissing. You would think nobody else is in the room. Yes. And this video from what TMZ obtained the video and from what they're reporting, this video was taken just a few days.

after the divorce filing, but there's no confirmation yet if the woman in the video is the woman that Christy, you know, was, I guess, referencing in her divorce filing whatsoever. And I did reach out to Desmond's team and have not heard back.

Christy has also not posted anything in response, but she did post a photo some days prior to this and her captioned on the photo. She looks great. Her caption was same address. Desmond liked that photo, but they had built this like big forever home together. And she's letting the people know,

I guess she ain't going to where. She's staying in her house. He just ain't standing there. You know, people are so tired into their business, but we don't know how long they've been separated because he said he was separated for a while. We don't know how long they've not been, you know, communicating or how long they not really been together.

Because they could have been married, but they could have been separate in their own relationship, and own marriage. But it is weird to see that, especially with the fact that TMZ posted the photo of him kissing another girl with him going through that. So I know it would make people feel away. But there ain't none about business.

And he did. did he said that he told her that he wanted to separate yes he didn't have to cheat he didn't want to cheat on her but yeah well there will be more from this actually that the only way out of a uh jehovah's witness marriage is infidelity i saw that on social media but i don't know that i don't remember anything about that yeah because it's not his like no more but yeah i saw people i never heard that i don't even be saying door witnesses ring doorbells anymore like that they still be honest they still do no i don't disrespect my mom a religion boy

I just said, I just don't say him like that. Yeah, but shout out to Ryan Davis. He talks about it on his special. No, yo. Oh, I thought that's what you're doing. No, he talks about the Jehovah's Witness. All of that stuff aligns with the jokes that he, his material on a special or whatever. And he talks about that.

But I don't know. The comedians be playing, but I heard him say that the only way out of a Jehovah's Witness marriage is infidelity. Yeah, I can't confirm that to be facts. But I did see people pointing at that now. Salute to Jehovah's Witness. This is so stupid. Who says that? Salute the Sharman.

All the members of Jehovah Witness. Look at Jehovah's Witness. Now, in other news, so you guys know Tiana Taylor is going to be playing Deionne Warwick in her life story. Now, she sat down for an interview on The Today Show, and she says that they asked her about if she's going to actually be singing the music. She says she doesn't want to. Let's take a listen.

Are you going to sing in it? Yeah, but hopefully I'm lip singing it because I, hopefully I'm listening it because, maybe, Dionne Warwick, that's just, that's a whole different level of. of voice. I mean, I got pipes, but she got pipes. Now, listen, I'm mad at Tiana Taylor for being honest about, you know, what she can and can't do, but we know that the project's going to be good either way. Man, that girl with voice, she got pipes too. I saw her just do a shardee cover, a shardy birthday, actually, today. But I just saw Tiana Taylor do a shard a cover. I haven't seen too many people that's actually able to do that and sound similar to shard a. She killed it. And she was singing sitting down. People don't understand.

Yeah, Dionne different, though It's a pressure, especially Deon, Deon wore a difference. Deanna says she won't do it. There's a reason why. Deion, I mean, because Tiana knows her capabilities. And she knows Deion's capabilities, and she's an artist, so she's like,

nah, I need the lip sync. If Tiana says that, I think we should rock with Tiana. Well, speaking of artists and what people think they should be doing, the people want the city girls back. Young Miami put out a snippet of a song and the fans are not loving it. Let's take a listen to the

snippet of the song. How do you judge that somebody recorded it off a phone or something? She was on a live. And she was reviewed it for Santana. But is that the only snippet? I mean, the beat didn't drop yet. We didn't get into a verse or not. That's how we got.

That's all she posted. Now, she did. go live following this because the comments got crazy like people once uh blogs picked this up people were in the comments and on x there was one person i saw that told her go get her cdl like to give it up and so don't play with young man i don't laugh at young miami i know she's listening good morning young miami don't play young miami that is what she listens to tell somebody go get their cdl don't drive trucks man that's damn they was on her body y'all like it was that lea young miami it was that but they loved the poke at young miami and her rome and her rome

rap abilities, right? But she went live and she responded because it was on her so bad. Let's take a listen to her response. I understand all y'all videos. And the thing about it is, what's gagging me the most about this whole thing is like, y'all just literally, y'all didn't hear the whole song. Right. Like, y'all literally got me so hype and a good hype.

I'm not mad. I'm literally, like, laughing with y'all. Like, I be keen with y'all. But y'all got me so hype. Like, I'm so excited because it's like, I'm really coming. I don't go f*** what y'all talking about. I'm going to f*** what y'all talking about. I'm going to f*** what y'all talking about.

I don't put an angle for you I took about on TikTok. When I dropped my mrs. Your tape, y'all's what I owe me an apology. Tomorrow, I think I'm going to just drop the phone, fucky. Because I'm ready to get in the field. Like, I don't give y'all my box. Like, I wasn't on a whole feature one. I had so much.

All my fingers, too. She right? Carissa, send a song, Carisha. Drop it, please. I went and looked for it and wasn't there. Send up here, I play it, Carisha. But artists should stop doing that. It's like a comedian who has a stand-up's,

special coming and they out in the clubs working out. You know what I'm saying? And then somebody records them and puts out material that's not really ready to be fleshed all the way out. Stop going on live. But she's playing your songs. But she probably left the studio and you could hear it loud in the studio.

She's like, I'm gonna play this for y'all. But you didn't realize you don't get that same feeling in the studio and it's like, you know what? Yeah, and she was probably just excited to let us know like she is back in us too, you know what I mean? Like she ain't dropped nothing in a while. You know? Set it up here, Carisha.

We'll play it. And as we wrap this hour, I want us some love. I saw Anthony Joshua post on his Snapchat that he is back in the gym. This is 19 days after that fatal crash that killed two of his friends who also were a part of his team. And there's been a lot of pressure on if he's

going to get back in the ring or not. But I just wanted to send him some love. I saw Eddie Hearns said we should leave that conversation alone and let him heal. But I think people are happy to see him back in the gym and just doing something that we know can help him get through. And just that he's back in the gym. Don't mean he back in the gym because he want to work out. He might just want to work out. That's a good way to get through. Working out helps you're mental and emotional

well-being, not just your physical. Yeah. And then let's just be honest, who the hell is going to want to fight him now after all of it, like... Plenty of, plenty of real heavyweight fighters. Okay. But I'm just saying, well, you got that type of, like, when you go through something like that? You feel like he'll beat the brakes over somebody. You know, you'll kill somebody.

You know, all of this. Yeah. He's still got to get in the ring. But, no. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua next year would still be a good fight if Anthony Joshua chooses to do it. Right. Tyson ain't ducking no smoke. All right.

Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Shalamee, what we doing? It's the people's donkey, because it's Friday, okay?

Okay. Go ahead. Do your thing? Yes, sir. So it's a big misconception. They plan on our face. They're telling us we're not seeing what we see, but we see it every day. and we hear about him every day.

So he's going to go ahead and get the biggest he are. It's very insulting. And I mean, listen, man, you know, when it comes to the economy, Donald Trump said on day one, he was going to have things right. You know, I mean, listen, of course, we didn't believe day one. We meant actual day one.

But it's been a year, and things have gotten worse. Been a whole year, brother. That's right. But I can also give you a shout-out. Yes, sir. Not a donkey, but it definitely a shout-out. Thank you for doing what you're doing for the black people and the black a picture.

podcast. Thank you, brother. Absolutely. I got one of your books. I got to get the other two. Really? Hey, man, I appreciate your support, man. Thank you very much, King. Good morning. Who's this? How are you doing? Morning.

Phil. Phil, what's happening? Who you want to get the biggest he-haught to, Phil? I want to give her he-haar to my wife, man. Today is I anniversary. What's her name? What's the Queen's name? My name is Tunisia.

Okay. We've been together 30 years. Today, our anniversary. I just want to say I love her. I want to give her a donkey today. Thank you, sir. But why? Why do you want to give a donkey?

It's her anniversary and y'all been together. He said 13 or 32? 13. 13. Why you want to give her a donkey of day for? I don't know. I think she deserved, man. What?

What she did? What you got? Doggy the day is not an award. It's not something that you give somebody because you, you know, you actually are trying to empower them. I mean, listen. I got to look into anyway. You just wanted to give her a shout out. It's okay.

Okay. You don't have, you. All right. Happy anniversary, Tanisha. From who? Who's this from? Phil? Yes.

Phil. Happy anniversary. There you go. Happy anniversary. Lord have mercy. Good morning. Who's this? Yo, this is Cody.

What's good? Cody, who you want to get the biggest he hard to? Cody, who you want to get the biggest year to? What I can do? He's been his whole life. Just hating on Kendrick, Glazing Drake. Every single, I mean, that's every single day. And then Jay Cole going to go and drop his, he's talking about his new album.

The last two days, all you see all over the internet is at talking about how he is soft boy, how he's just he's doing too much every day. He's spending his life talking about other men. Well, listen, I don't, I don't, uh, people say the same thing about me. They'll say I hate, I spend my whole life hating on Drake. Glazing Kendrick. And I'm, and I'm critiquing Cole.

So it's the same, you talk to the same guy. I didn't call Cole Soft, though. I didn't call Cole Soft. What I said was, you know, I just want to know what direction Cole is going in on this album because he clearly doesn't care about being the number one guy anymore, so I just wonder what direction he's taking, that's all.

No, I respect that, but I feel like you diversify your portfolio of hate, whereas academics, it's strictly like, it's strictly like he's swathing on Drake and he's hating on Kendrick every day of his life. I like that. Diversify your portfolio

of hate. I agree with that. I like that. Have a great day, sir. Good morning. Who's this? This is Raymond. Laman. Who you want to get the biggest he heart to, Laman? It's got to be the Baltimore Ravens, man. Oh, why you want to get a Ravens donkey today?

Because they didn't make the playoffs? I just, I mean, I just don't understand how you feel to let a coach like that go, man. Now he's about to go to the Giants and make them a great team. Thank you so much. You know what I mean? Like, why do you do that? You know what I feel in that face.

Everybody gets playing the problem. It's that. Yeah. I get what you saying, brother. Have a great day. Yeah. Keep up the wrong. Thank you guys.

All right, sir. Good morning. Who's this? Yeah, this is Rocky. Y'all talked about A Step Rocky today. I decided to call there. Okay, Rocky. Who you want to get the biggest he-haught-to?

I want to give it the DJ Indies because he does this sports in the morning, like the basketball, football, whatever. And he never does the NASCAR. It is some brothers out there that are making a career out of that sport, and I think they should be recognized. Shout them out. Hey, no, but hold up. Respectfully.

Nobody does that. NASCAR. There's no place you're going to turn. Who doesn't NASCAR? Not even ESPN don't even do NASCAR. Who doesn't NASCAR, bro? Michael Jordan. We've had a NASCAR.

Last thing I saw about Michael Jordan was he sued NASCAR and won. You know, we had, I was going to say we had a NASCAR drive- Barba Wallace. I did not, I didn't call up here. I didn't call up here to debate it. I just called up to Jake N. The biggest tee-off are not recognizing those brothers. going to try to live their lives

and do something they love to do. We have had Bubba Wallace up here, though. Actually, with a NASCAR, too. So, yeah. But thank you, brother. But the only thing I'm saying is these guys need to be recognized just like any guys in the other sports.

Well, name some of them, so we know. Bubba Wallace, Roger Carreuth. I'm driving, so. You're thinking. We said Bubba Wallace. So you only said one other person. Hey, you can question me.

Oh, goodbye. You know what? But listen, no, no, we've had bubble wallace on breakfast. And hey, we've had John Cohen on Breakfast Club, too. Salute to John Cohen. Yes, we did. Oh, okay, good, good. I'm not trying to argue.

I know he got Kurt Bush's car on his desk. Yeah, it's right there. Yeah, that's right there. Yeah, I know. Number 41. He's a car guy. He's a car guy, and he's talking about these other sports. And NASCAR is cars.

That's all I'm saying. I'm not trying to be, you know, like argumentative or anything about it. I saw a damn time. I'm a black guy. I just feel like I like to know where they played in the race on the weekends when I... And I listen to you guys all the time. You're very good. Thank you, brother.

I've watched you grow. I've watched your grow into the thing you are now. I love the group y'all have together. Thank you, brother. Have a great day. Go out there. Why do you keep hanging up on people? Say you have a great day.

You see that music, goodbye. Listen, man, we do the People's Donkey every Friday. You can call us 1-800-5-1501. Or you can go to the I-Hart Radio app. Go to Breakfast Club and click on the Talkback feature, and you can send in a message as well. I wish more of y'all would use the talk-back feature, but you don't. But, you know, thank you.

I'm actually going to go to more NASCAR events this year, though. I told myself I am going to go to a thing. I'm not. I am. Because you're a car guy. I'm not that type of car guy, but I love to see the racing. but I'm definitely going to be honest with you it's a little over stimulating for me

it's very loud but I am going to go all right thank you Shalameen for the donkey of the day and everybody for calling it in today yes indeed yes and today is Friday man you want to start some arguments you want to get people arguing

absolutely it's it right now Daniel Caesar was here a little while ago and he had some interesting thoughts on like I guess the concept of marriage yes he did let's listen sometimes I look at like married couples and stuff like that, it almost feels like a big conspiracy

where it's just like we're married, so of course we're happy because we're married and everyone should want marriage. My parents are still together, mind you. And they love each other and they respect each other. But I just sometimes I think, and I'm just like, I know, and I'm the same as my dad.

Sometimes it's like he's bound by honor. He's a man of his word. You know what I mean? And so it's like, you are my kids. I'm not going to run out on you. But you can't lie about what's going on in your head. Like when you come home and you're like, bro, this shit again. You know what I mean?

It's like I'm doing the job because I'm bound by honor to do the job. But I would rather be out being a person, being free, running around. I get what you're saying. I mean, marriage is hard work. You know what I mean? You're going to have your good days. You're going to have your bad days. But you have to want to do it.

And this is a conversation just for the married couples. Okay. I don't want to say in particular to married men, but yeah, I want to hear from a lot of the married men. Are you happily married? Are you being faithful because you want to be or because you feel like you have to be? Do you feel like marriage is a job?

Yes. Are you comfortable and that's the reason why you're there? 800 585-105-1. That is the question. Do you want to be in your marriage or are you just there because of the kids and you just really want to be free? Let's discuss. He said it like it was a job. That's what he said. But I don't know how many guys don't think going to call up and admit

that they were. They didn't. They don't see their name. They don't see their name. All right. Okay. They ain't got to say the name. I think women too, though.

Women as well. Oh, absolutely. Because he said married couples, right? Yeah. He said married couples, but he was kind of putting some emphasis on the men. But yeah, I just want to know. Like, because I think people are happily married

because they're actually happily married. Absolutely. You know what I mean? I think people are faithful because they want to be faithful. I don't think people look at marriage as a job. But nobody also, nobody ever said marriage was easy. I think a lot of people do. Like, even if you listen to just,

just fix my mess. There's a lot of people that call all the time and say I'm here because I want, I'm here for my kids. I want to make sure my kids are okay. I'm here because financially I can't leave or I'm here because I'm comfortable and I don't know what else is out there. Right. So that does happen a lot as well. So let's discuss 800-585-105.1 is the breakfast club. Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if But this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help.

I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself and the people you love, then Sacred Lessons is the podcast for you.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience,

helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight.

So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York since the son of Sam, available now. Listen for free on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanko Wally.

And I'm Hurricane de Bolu. It's a new year, and on the podcast's health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and to start doing that.

We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us, affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

If you're just joining us, we're talking about something Daniel Seazis said earlier when he was on a breakfast club. Let's listen. Sometimes, I don't know, I look at like married couples and stuff. like that, if it almost feels like a, um, like a big conspiracy where it's just like, we're married. So of course we're happy because we're married and everyone should want merit. My parents are still together, mind you. And they love each other and they respect each other.

But I just sometimes I think, and I'm just like, I know, and I'm the same as my dad. Sometimes it's like he's bound by honor. He's a man of his word. You know what I mean? And so it's like, you are my kids. I'm not going to run out on you. but you can't lie about what's going on in your head. Like, when you come home and you're like, bro, this shit again.

You know what I mean? It's like I'm doing the job because I'm bound by honor to do the job, but I would rather be out being a person, being free, running around. I get what you're saying. I mean, marriage is how it works. You know what I mean? You're going to have your good days. You're going to have your bad days.

But you have to want to do it. So we're asking 800-585-105-1. What are your thoughts? What do you think, Jess? I agree. I mean, I get what he's saying. You know, I feel like it is a lot of marriages where the man or the woman could be mentally, you know, be mentally over it. But you're just in it because you're bound by honor.

Like you said your vows, you know. And it's a number of reasons that somebody could be unhappy in their marriage. But at the same time, you've got to want to do it. Like, you know, how many times have you, you're not going to always have. have that it's not going to always be sunshine and rain and all that like it's it's going to always be hard but if you're willing to do the work and to be there that's that's how you last yeah but you got to be happy you have to be happy right and something sholomey said earlier but you're not always happy you got to find the right person right now yeah in marriage you might not always be happy but the majority of times

you should be happy and regardless your wife or your husband should make you happy this times where I have a hard day, whatever it is. But when I step into that house and I see my wife, my day brightens up immediately. When I see my kids, my day brightens up immediately. Marriage is not easy, but for people in a marriage that say, oh, I'm in there because I need to honor. That's not going to last long.

And for people that say, oh, I'm there because of my kids, your kids can see when you're happy and when you're not. Your kids can see right through the BS. So I wouldn't say being at marriage just because you want to honor somebody. If you're not in love and you're not there for the right reasons, you shouldn't be there. Yeah, I get what Daniel's saying, but you can't generalize every marriage

the way that he did. Like, you know, there are some people who are not happily married, right? There are some people just going through motions in a marriage, but that's not everyone's ministry. And I know plenty of people

who are happily married. Okay, I'm one of them. And whoever told you that every day in a marriage is going to be peaches and cream, that's just a damn lie. Okay, you're going to argue with your wife, you're going to get mad at your wife, you know, but that's still your person

at the end of the day. Right. And it's also how you're, you handle those arguments, right? Me and my wife will argue, and then at the end of it, we start laughing because we just know how stupid the argument is. Like, she is my person, I am her person, like, we just know everything about each other. It's to the point where I tell everybody all the time, I'd rather stay home every day all

there watching a movie with my wife than to do anything. Because I have fun and I enjoy doing it, you know what I mean? And I think that's the biggest thing, right? Some of y'all just truly haven't found your person. Yeah. That's just the reality of the situation. You know what I mean? are, you know, maybe you did find your person and, you know, that person was in your life for a long,

long, long, long time and maybe y'all did grow apart. Just grow apart, yeah. You know, and I don't know if that means y'all get a divorce or y'all try to, you know, work things out. I don't know what that means, but, you know, when you do find your person, you know that's your person and you want to do right by that person because doing right is the right thing, not because society tells you you have to. Right, but it's another part of it, too.

Like, you can find your person, but you got to be able to find yourself. you gotta know who you are you know because how Daniel is his way of thinking that may change he only 30 that may change at 35 I think he's looking at something else like you said he was a young man that didn't get respected he didn't get to kick it to girls you know girls thought he was cosmetically challenged you know what I'm saying so he probably he probably didn't really start to get a lot of cosmetically challenged yeah oh okay so he probably started didn't probably start getting a lot of you know girls even coming his way correct until he became so of course his thoughts are going to be jaded on it yeah but let me ask you

question if your your husband you know something happened and he gained 400 pounds would you still be there? Yeah we're gonna lose that you ain't never seen a 400 pound Mexican in your life yeah I ain't right but he's still black too but we would be Jiming that like ain't no way like I'm not gonna leave you but you're not about to stay 400 pounds what is Jiminette Jiming that like going to be gymming all day like

you were saying a Mexican word I didn't know I didn't know what I didn't know what you said hello who's this Hey, good morning. This is Lewis. How are you doing? Lewis, what's up? Please, Lewis. Good morning.

Happy New Year. I'm almost part by saying my story is almost similar to the dude that I got divorced and the fact that I was a virgin. I was married. It's all you do with one woman. So I think there's the question about my happy marriage. Most of the time, no. And I do have desires to experience others.

But when you make commitment in marriage, because God, I'm like Sherman is saying, you got to go through it. It's hard. So a lot of times people give them to be easily, but that commitment that you made, you got to commit to their hard work. Otherwise, it could just be too easy. That's the same with everything in life. I don't want to eat vegetables.

I don't want to, you know, what the work? You put in hard work. And even y'all, we often not put in the hard work behind the scenes. Look, we are now. So I'm saying everything in life has a hard work and we can benefit of it. I get what you saying. Thank you, man. Hello.

Hello. Hey, what's your name, brother? Hey, how you doing? This is Naim from Detroit. Naim, what up, though? talk to us. What's your thoughts? A lot of, this is something that's dear to me because I am a married man, but a lot of times the younger people, they haven't loved someone enough. And so what they do is they view

older people who kind of at the middle or at the end, it kind of, you know, cast their opinions based on what they see from older. You have to love enough first before you make these kind of, you know, thoughts and put these out in the air because it's kind of hurting other people who love marriage. You know, they haven't experienced enough. He sounds like he haven't found a woman that he loves enough. So he's saying, oh, you know, because it's probably women he deal with. It's short term. Shouldn't really do that.

It's he responsible. Okay. Thank you, brother, too. 800-585-105-1. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Daniel Caesar. We had him on the show an hour ago, and this is what he said about how he looks at marriage. Sometimes, I look at, like, married couples and stuff like that. it almost feels like a,

like a big conspiracy where it's just like, we're married, so of course we're happy because we're married and everyone should want marriage. My parents are still together, mind you. And they love each other

and they respect each other. But I just sometimes I think, and I'm just like, I know, and I'm the same as my dad. Sometimes it's like he's bound by honor. He's a man of his word. You know what I mean? And so it's like,

you are my kids. I'm not going to run out on you. But you can't, lie about what's going on in your head. Like when you come home and you're like, bro, this shit again? You know what I mean? It's like I'm doing the job

because I'm bound by honor to do the job, but I would rather be out being a person, being free, running around. I get what you're saying. I mean, marriage is hard work. You know what I mean? You're going to have your good days. You're going to have your bad day.

But you have to want to do it. Now you feel just the same way or different. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get what he's saying, but like he can't. generalize it like shawler said like you can't just that just be your outlook on marriage period and i agree with the last brother that called up daniel hasn't had enough experience uh enough enough

experiences with love to come to this conclusion right now and just be set in it like you have to have you have to you have to have your person but you also i feel like you also have to know who you are too all right we know he don't like systems but like i feel like he's not going to feel the same way Because true love isn't a system. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? True love is two spirits connecting, right? Like love love has nothing to do with any system.

There's no societal system that can create love. That's what coming to America was about. Coming to America, they had a whole tradition. He was like, I don't want to do that. I want to go out there and find my person. Yes. But I always take it to the extent, right, the full extent. So if your spouse was a paraplegia, would you still love him, right?

If your spouse got into an accident and lost, limbs, would you still love him the same way? If your spouse couldn't have sex, would you still be there and love him to say? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What you say, Jess? If your spouse could not have sex anymore, right? Would you stay in that marriage?

Well, I just got married. You know what I mean? Like, I'm just, you know, I'm fresh and it, you know, and you're just throwing all this at me too early. That's crazy. Like, like, nah, who wants a Mexican that can't work? What? What?

Yo! Like, you know, that video? I see you posted on your story, the video of the human with no arms and no legs. Yeah. And you see how that person's spouse was throwing them in the water. Could you be in a relationship like that? But I think they was in a relationship for a long time. You know what I mean?

I wouldn't want to be the one that has to carry around, you know, the C. That's crazy. That's like a CPR mannequin. Like, you got to, you know what I mean? Yeah, but that's your boot. You know what's so crazy? I know men who have had women. Damn, what was it?

It's not all times. I guess dementia. Like I got no men who have had been with women And there were younger women Not younger younger, but like, you know, 40s, 50s when ended up getting like some type of dementia or some type of neurological disorder And they were basically vegetables

And those guys stayed with those women To care of those women Because that was his person And he loved it up until the day she died So I mean, yeah, if you really do have unconditional love love with a person, you're going to hold that down Absolutely. Hello, who's this?

Good morning. I don't want to say my name because, but my husband don't listen to Breakfast Club. He gives me to Caucasian. But I was going to. Look ahead. So I know that you're looking for the males to call in, but I got my own opinion. My husband, I have been married for 17 years. He's been taken away back in the early 2000.

but, you know, when he got out, he came home, he locked it down, and it's just, I'm too old to start over. So you didn't even convenience. So it's more like the convenience. Correct. And the operator took it to the word that I had out of my mouth. Our son is grown down zone, and it's just, I don't know, it's just, it's, how I don't know. And you said he's white?

He is up the palm side. So you tied to that pink penis. You haven't had enough. No, but the pink penis is, it's, it's, it's, It's hitting it right. It's hitting that good spot. But I know. But I know it's tough.

I know it's tough getting on your knees and, you know, doing, you know, doing that during the Black Lives Matter movement. Like, I mean, that's kind of crazy. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I mean? The topic of the day was not about. Hey, y'all. The topic of the day.

I know, right. But let me ask you a question. Happily married marriage. If you're not, if you're not happy, right, why wouldn't you say, you know what? I'm not saying that. She's not happy. She's not happy. to me. Oh, she just said she's there for convenience.

Right. I'm very blessed and highly favored. But you said you were there for convenience. That doesn't necessarily highly love. That means. That's because the operator took those words out by mouth. He put some words in the mouth. So you have to. I mean, it is convenient. So why are you calling? No, I don't think convenience is the right word. I think that you have found your person and you're happy with your person. Like, you're not just there because you have to be there. Are you? But she.

Correct. Okay. But, okay, but you're saying it is. I'm too old. start over. I don't know. I don't want to start over. You don't want to. Yeah, but that's kind of contradicting. It's like, yeah. But that kind of tells you, like, I don't want to start over, but that, like, that kind of tells me like you hear.

Like, you're comfortable in your situation, but if it was, if it wasn't there the day or tomorrow, you'll be all right, but you don't want to start over. I don't know, she was all over the place. I do wonder about that, though, because when you're ready to move, you're going move. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you choose to stay in a position,

you're there because there's a part of you that actually wants to be there. Like when that desire is really calling you to move, you're going to move. But the problem is, is a lot of people don't want to move because it's starting over. A lot of people are like, where do I go to date? Right. Where do I go to find somebody? After a certain age and a certain amount of kids is like, who's going to want me?

How do I start over? Like, I don't even know how to, like, when people come up with it, be like, I don't even know how to date. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. That one brother who called earlier who said that, you know, he'd be having desires. That was interesting to me, too, because I just feel like lust is a fleeting pleasure

that always leaves you in. And it's like eating junk food. Like you may desire it, but you know it's not good for you. And you know after you eat it, you're going to be mad. Yeah. So just why do it? Yeah. You know?

Like, you don't throw away something good just for lust. Like if you've been eating clean and not on alcohol and working out for three months straight and like you locked in on that, you don't just say, eff it. I'm going to go wild out. But it depends on your level of discipline, though. Like, you've got to be disciplined. because people do chase them little temporary highs.

Yeah, that's true. Definitely. That's true. All right. What's the moral of the story? I mean, the moral of the story is, man, find what works for you. That's what I would say.

But, you know, I just not just generalize all marriages and say, oh, people, you know, aren't happy. Like, you're all fronting. Like, no. Find yourself. Find your person. That's right. All right.

Well, when we come back, we got past the Aux. Nala will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I'm going to be beautiful. What's up, Nila? Big Nila. Hey, guys.

You look so refreshed. Nila's a bowl. Thank you. You know, I feel refreshed, actually, spiritually. You got some rest? Actually, no. You know I was DJing last night at St. Make sure you guys pull up on me every Thursday.

I have a residency. The food's great. The music's great. Dope. But speaking of refresh, I want to get into the salt album. They dropped it last Friday, and it's been on repeat. Now, it's very Neil's soul, very hipster, but it has, like, a lot of positive.

affirmations and I think it's just a good way to start the year as like a pallet cleanser. You said salt? That's the name of the group? Yeah. Salt? Okay. They're, they're UK-based and the first record on there is called God, protect me from my enemies. Fire. Yeah. Fire. Yeah, it's all. Now, they're a band, so it's singing. There's a lot of entertainment. Fire. But I love it, though. Now, that's all. Okay. I love it. Yeah, girl. You said Salt or salt? Salt. S-A-U-L-T.

S-A-U-L-T. That's dope. Yeah. So Cleo So is the lead singer for those who don't know. I love Cleo Soul. And her husband runs the band. Didn't I know that?

Fire. That's all. Yeah, they're dope. Okay. Next, I know you guys think it's going to be J-Col, but I'm going to say the best for last. Next, I'm going to go with this new Maxo Cream record called fake G-Z. Perfect for G-T-A.

This just sounds like you just sound like you was playing a game. You know what I mean? Yeah, this is a game sound trick. I see why he called it fake G-G-ZZZZ because he used. You know, Gizi had to, Gizi liked to drink, Gizi liked to smoke, Gizi like to mix on a ham and with his coaxie, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.

Get to play. Like it? I ain't mad at Maxo Cream for that. I like, I just mad that you started with the whole, where they're talking. Yeah. I was very overly simulated. Sorry, yeah.

I was very overly simulated when you first played it. That's all me. That was, you have to go in from salt to that. I'm like, whoa, that was kind of crazy. What do you always say, a little righteous, a little ratchet? I was trying to give you guys that diversity. My nervous system.

My nervous system. need the warning. The other day they started popping balloons out there and me and Shalami was like, hey, hey, what's the hell going on? We're in the middle of the show on air. They got up and ran out to see what's going on. I was in here like, I'm not getting shot up. I didn't act like y'all been here before, okay? I ain't never been in a shooting at a radio station. That was you talking about me. We got security,

is all I'm saying. But okay, yeah, let's do this ASAP Rocky record. I didn't get to dive into the full project. It just came out today, but the second single helicopter I do like. That's hard. That's A's flow. Remember we talking earlier about A-Saps flow? That's that manna, money, no, that's A-Saf flow. That's A-Saf-F-F-O. I don't know.

Yeah. That's A-Saf-Low. I don't know. You got a bench of many means. In the city. In New York? He said Drake, though. Drake was...

Oh, he said Drake. That's what he said on one of the regular. I don't know. I don't know about that. I stole your bitch. Oh. That's definitely... That's A-Sap's flow.

Did Drake do that flow? I don't remember Drake doing it. I don't remember. remember it either, but who knows. Drake is the chameleon. That's what I said he does. That's what he does. That's what he does.

I like that beat. You know what I say? I don't know. Is this something about Asap's music ain't been doing it for me lately? I got to look to the whole album. I haven't looked to the whole problem. I have to look to the whole project.

But I just, yeah, the only time you hear something about his music is when he's throwing a shot at Drake. Like nobody ever be like. Or Rihanna. I don't even hear about Rew. Oh yeah. I'm talking about the music. Yeah, they're talking about the lines where he's talking about his wife.

You never hear nobody be like, yo, that A's that record was dope, just because it was dope. They're saying Travis got in the chat. They're saying it sounds like Travis got or offset kind of took his flow. That's what they're saying. Travis was sure.

Okay, okay. I can hear that. Now, I can hear that. I can hear that. Offset, really? Not offset. I can hear about Travis. I can hear Travis.

I can definitely hear Travis, for sure. Okay, now the last one you guys probably already know is track two on this to Jay Cole. Yes, ma'am. That was dope, though. Oh, what? What you mean? What?

A compliment? It was definitely dope. Wow, this is a holiday. You got to stop that. You know I think Jay Cole is dope. No, I don't know that. I think he's dope. You just don't think he's number one.

I know he's not. It's okay. Jekul is good. The question was never that he wasn't number one or that he wasn't dope. Do we like the music still? I like that. This is dope. He's talking.

I never didn't like Jay Cole's music. I just said a very specific thing. I said that. That's the number one? I said, hey, before. For the beef, he was saying he was numeral uno Muhammad Ali. He was saying he wanted it with anybody. And then when he had the opportunity, he engaged.

And then he chose not to engage. So he kind of took himself out those conversations. So I'm just interested to hear the new album because I just want to hear what direction he's going in. That's all because he clearly doesn't care about being number one. Which is fine. Well, we're all excited to hear this new album. And I'm actually for Certified Vibe, our first event is going to be an album listening party celebrating the release on February 6. So save the date that Friday night.

Pull up on me and a bunch of other J-Cold fans. We're going to wear merch. We're going to listen to the project. And we might have a few surprises. So stay tuned for that.
