Morning, every day. Everybody is DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlemagne Naga. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well. We got some special guests in the building. We do. We have Ashley Nicole. Welcome.

Hello, hello, everyone. And we have Cam Newton. Welcome back. What's up, bro? Where do you want to go today, Kim? I'm trying to tell you, we can go left and we can keep it right. We can go both ways, boys. Where are you going to do?

Travis Hunter. Dion Sanders. All right. Which way you want to go? Bo Jackson. Oh, it's a BET. He's show 106 in sports. Let's start with Travis Hunter.

Since you already said his name first, jumped out the box. What's your thoughts? Love him. Travis Hunter came through my C1N program, which is an all-star team where I use football as a way to show kids or young athletes that you can change your life.

Travis Hunter is a person that does not get respected enough because he has not. not did anything wrong he's been exceptional on a football field and yet we couldn't find no dirt on him so we have to attack somebody close to him never had a DUI nope not a domestic from what i've heard and seen and seen in firsthand he's an unbelievable person oh he does a smile it's all he does is yes he done yeah and i was rocking with traps when his smile wasn't even you know what i mean he had the crack smile. And so much so, like I said, his younger brother, Travis, plays on my team now.

And this is my way of philanthropic initiatives where, yeah, a lot of people can give back in their own perspective and respective ways. But for me, I use a game of football to say, hey, bro, you don't got to rob. You ain't got to steal. You ain't got to, you know, sell drugs. Like, bro, this pig skin right here can take you places. It's gotten me everywhere that I ever wanted. And when I've seen Travis at his age to see how he has morphed into the individual.

Now, of course, everybody's entitled to their own opinion about who he is. He a sucker. He a dishe, he's married. He has a family. That was what couple goals was supposed to be. I should take a page out of his book. We're going to get to that. Why you look like that, Ashley, what he said there, huh?

Because he's cap'n't. Like, he knows exactly what he's. where he stands when he comes to that he made it very clear he's made it clear in the last 24 hours but I don't know we had a conversation about that earlier teaching new tricks maybe

old dog new tricks oh something like that we had a conversation about learning your significant others body counting names right oh no but this is the thing this is what we say we understood this is it not real this is not real though

you want to know that I need to know if you're in the same Talk to me. Talk to me. Talk to me. Come on out. Here you ask me and then I'm going to tell you my tea.

Here is where I think I agree and disagree. Now if it is a situation where I'll use cameras as yeah since you sitting next to me, this is just an example. Use John Doe. Okay. You John Doe. We just don't put that dog. We won't pay attention a 106 in sport. Let me use John Doe.

October 15th. If John Doe has a certain profession. Correct. And there is a possibility. that John Doe was gonna run into Jim Doe because they're in the same world. Then yes, I feel like that is something that you need to vocalize and you need to be honest about

because you never want your person to walk into a room and everyone's on the joke except for that person, right? You're about the interview, your man's X-1, he popped down, you didn't know. And he laughed. He got an ace of spade, tug. What? No, no, she laughing.

She's smiling or giggily hugging you. That's what I'm saying. Like, if you're gonna cross past, there's a possibility for you to cross past with someone, then yes, I think that that should be vocalized. But if it's like you're a hometown, you know, crush and they're never going to cross. Like, he don't need to know that. See, that's none of your business.

The only reason you got to keep close to the chest. But if that's your men, y'all together, y'all building like real life at our ages that we're doing, you got to take him back to your hometown at some point. So I think it's certain people, certain places, certain times, right? So not everybody may be a bit insane. But if you know, okay, babe, look, we're going back to my homecoming. I don't go on hometown, but you're not going on a block. You might go see Mama House, but you're not. Certain places, certain times.

So if you take in your person you love to wherever, I think it's just a conversation of like, in this part of my life, here was a person that may have been important. Because I, especially if you know you could run into them because you're in these places all the time. He's not. I will say this. I recently went to somebody that I'm like getting to know's hometown.

And he didn't point out and give me names, nothing like that. He basically said, like, we're walking into this party. there are going to be some people there that I dated in high school, whatever. So now you're looking. It wasn't like, is this person, this is her name. It was just like, you'll be on your piece and kids. She's hugging you too long. She's hugging you too long.

I don't feel like you got to know to everything. Like sometimes, as a woman, you got to keep some secrets and some things to yourself. Like, your person doesn't know how to know about everything you did before them. All you know is on with you now. Like, that should be enough. I think everything is like not realistic. You can't know every single thing. Yeah, I do.

But certain things. Like if I'm walking. in that party, we ain't got to do like an Instagram run through, but like we need to have a conversation of like, okay, do you still speak to these people? Is this woman going to walk up to me and like test-friendly conversation with me? Like, what's happening? Yeah, if you're going to be

in proximity, whether it's a one-off, whether it's, you know. How? Y'all, y'all giving too much. Like, one-offs? Let's hear you came. Let's hear you can. One-offs. You don't need to know every person. Are you still talking? The simple question is I just want to know your list. I don't care. That's crazy. One-off still. You still

smash my shoulder. It still count. One off or 10 off, it still counts. It's still off. You got out. You got out. You're not adding it. You're not telling your girl like, y'all.

I was in Turks and Kekos 10 years ago, my boys and I hit so. That's why you lead. Okay. That's why you lead with everything so you don't mess up a vibe because you're trying to explain, hey, hey, before we go in here, there's a chance that DJ, like, no. Sometimes you can give up information, can't. information cam sometimes there is too much and this is the thing that we all have to understand what works for me may not work for you that's fair cinderella's shoe was fit for

cinderella my name is cam newton i can't put on cinderella's so that's cool so i'm like yo we we we get into this that it never be me and i love going on them comments and hitting your profile and realizing like baby you were never met for me damn damn and what we're Oh boy. Damn. You have more posts than followers. There's nothing that we can relate to. Yeah. So I appreciate your insight. I needed that impression. So this show is more than sports, obviously. But going back to your Turks and Keiko's comment, right? Like, all right, he don't need to know about the Turk. Look, I'm going to tell you, I'm married right now.

My husband wanted to know if I ever had a one night stand. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Safe vases that night in Turks and Cake. goes. Yeah, yeah, babe. One night I did go, you know, me and my cousins went to certain cake goes, and I you know, I smashed the nigga who was buying a drink. But if you pull up that man's IG profile, phone number, giving it, like, use the face card. Like,

no, you got to keep some things. Let me say this. A lot of times, it's not even about what it is more so than are you willing to tell me. Yeah. Because now it's a deeper rooted issue. If you're going to go to hell

with this information, what else are you willing to keep or what do you get to decide yeah what's worth telling me or not if i'm asking you what i deem is extremely surface level and extremely innocent because i'm not judging i'm happy baby right i'm i'm not going nowhere i already know before me there was somebody or somebody's let's talk about it i believe in a relationship there should not be anything that's off limits that's just me like so much so that it's like yo no I ain't going to go there, but it's certain things that I think, like, you can't really truly be in love with the person if you don't really truly know a person.

And that's me. And like I said, Cinderella's shoe is for Cinderella. It's not mine. Cam's shoe is not built for Cinderella. I look at a lot of these things where it's like, yo, she going to tell me, hey, babe, I have some money right here. Hey, babe. I'm seeing a transaction on my car.

hey babe man I'm looking for tell me where it was at yeah yeah but that's a significant thing you don't think there's a difference between significant you don't get to judge you don't get to judge that

did you give her your list did you give your names addresses faces all that see you're you're you're thinking about the initial question but not the reasoning behind the question if you're willing to go over and beyond

and say hey I did this I did dot I did that I did that. I'm not going to say how many times. That's like what I'm talking about. I just really want to know if you're willing to open up and answer the question because like I said, it's a deeper rooted issue that, hey, we in some real stuff. Tell me what you did. Somebody told me that they seen this or my mama said that you responded like this. That's not to say that my mom is not lying, but you can stretch your truth or your vantage point about a certain situation. Tell me what happened. So let's go back. How did this show

come together now? Let's break down this show right now. Please. Let's break down the show. Because she ain't going to laugh at it. We could have done this for another 20 minutes. You can't call us while we were waiting. This is more than just sports. So how did y'all get together to do the show? It kind of just happened. I mean, I don't know. Our experiences were a little bit

different or maybe it was the same. So I was in the middle of the NBA playoffs. So I also worked for CBS Sports. And I got a call that they we're doing castings and kind of test shoots, pairings in L.A. Last minute, can you fly to L.A.? Kind of can't. I'm in the middle of the playoffs. Like, big deal, can't move. Cam and I did hours virtually.

He was actually in L.A. and met with a whole list of people from so many guys that we know and women that we know that doing their things in individual industries. And Cam and I even virtually just had a chemistry that was just drastically different than what he had with anyone when he was in LA and obviously he can speak to that more and it just kind of snowballed from there and the whole process was he announced at the BET Awards

and then it was just kind of like a waiting game until this point and now we're in the 11th hour really excited but yeah your situation in LA obviously was different than mine virtually it was a process and it was something that I was new to because typically is we want you for this. Going about

business now in this phase of my life is something that I will always remember and everything that you do is earned. Nobody, this entitled mentality of like, man, I'm Cam Newton. First pick, a husband trophy winner

like MVP, like man, nobody care about that now. It's like how you can position yourself and are you qualified to have this? Are you talented enough to have this? Can you far exceed just football and tap into the unknown of the culture, hey, can you talk politics if you had the opportunity to? Hey, can you talk about home goods? Can you talk about fashion? Can you talk about lifestyle things? And when you start to really dive into, hey, this is something

that I really want to do and take serious, you have to go out on the limb and take sacrifices, right so yeah I had to prove went to L.A. Ashley obviously was one of the first persons you were my first yeah but that's how I'm crazy we're taking that clip we're taking that clip we're going to say how you're doing it now we're taking that clip go ahead yeah and he said yep you know we had we had that as something where okay that was a good icebreaker it was probably 15 20 minutes and that's when my day kind of started. I think, you know, a question was posed to me and often asked, like, what's my superpower? And some would say probably football. But I think really for me, I've

never met a stranger. Like, I've really genuinely talked, like talking and really hearing people out. I went to school, studied sociology. So I took a lot of psychology classes as well and didn't really know how much of a nerd that I really was. And doing it my way. It wasn't. that out, you know, no, bro, I'm from Atlanta, you know, twin, you feel like, no, it's like, nah, it's like, no, I can really, you know, learn a thing or two, and that has helped me in places and positions. So when you see me on Funky Friday, fourth one now, you know, with, you know, Ashley and 106 in sports, this will bring out a different element of what we're used to seeing Cam new and that. So you guys are going to be discussing everything, not just sports, not just

the games, but also everything to do with it. It's like, for instance, Russell, Wilson, right? Conversation not only about him playing in for the Giants and the Giants in my team, by the way, also, you know, the conversation that said he was a simp and he loves his girl too, he loves his wife too much. So we'll get your feedback. So break it down. I mean, what's wrong with loving your wife too much? I don't see nothing. Right. I don't see nothing. You know what I mean? I think Russell Wilson, and we were kind of talking about this yesterday and we were talking about the black quarterback when we were at dinner with our CEO. And I think that Russell Wilson's an easy target because people perceive his proximity to blackness, not acceptable, right?

He's kind of like a Carlton Banks on the Fresh Prince. Damn, I wouldn't call it to Bankson, but go ahead. You know, he's a little Carlton Bank in a sense, you know? And I don't think there's anything wrong with him loving his wife and being loud and proud about that. He has a beautiful family. He's extremely skilled. And if that is not for you, it's not for you. But I don't think there's anything corny

about loving someone and being loud about that. And if you're somebody who wants to love more privately, that's cool. But I feel like Russell Wilson doesn't give people enough in his personal life to attack him. So you've got to attack something so superficial that he's not cool enough. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you. Don't let them down.

All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved,

until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict. six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth

were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn, or any of that other stuff that you all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and stressed. and threw it on her. They made me say that I pour gas on her.

I started trying to get pregnant about four years ago now. We're getting a little bit older, and it just kind of felt like the window could be closing. Bloomberg and IHeart Podcasts present. IVF disrupted, the Kind Body story, a podcast about a company that promised to revolutionize fertility care. Introducing Kind Body, a new generation of women's health and fertility care. Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup. While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients.

You think you're finally like with the right people. in the right hands and then to find out again that you're just not. Don't be fooled. By what? All the bright and shiny. Listen to IVF disrupted,

the kind body story, starting September 19 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Power struggles, shady money, drugs, violence,

and broken promises. It's a freaking war zone. These people are animal. There's no integrity. There's no loyalty. That's all gone. In the 1980s, modeling wasn't just a dream. It was a battlefield.

Book, book, book. Like deals. Let's get models in. Let's get them out. And the models themselves? They carried scars that never fully healed. Until this day, honestly, if I see a measuring tape, I freak out. The Model Wars podcast peels back the glossy cover

and reveals a high-stakes game where survival meant more than beauty. Hosted by me, Vanessa Grigoriatis, this is the untold story of an industry built on ruthless ambition. Listen to Model Wars on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't got swag. Right. You know what I mean?

Like, did he go to school in Wisconsin? Or where he go to school? Hold on. Hey, there's no swag in Wisconsin. No, but he also went to school at North Carolina, too. All right. Well, I mean.

So what you think, Kim? Yeah, what you think? Yeah, y'all trying to get that clip. I seen him real close with me. Cam, you know, there's nothing wrong with Russell Wilson. I ain't sleeping with him. Exactly. So if the person that it really matters to, if it suits her, then.

You may keep popping out those babies, so clearly. They're doing something. But you said he also went to North Carolina State. So you're saying he was around some swag. He went to North Carolina State. She said, you know, didn't he go to school in Wisconsin? Where there is no swag? I rebuttal that you know of.

You ain't been to Wisconsin to see some swag or to observe the swag. So I just rebuttal and said he also went to school in North Carolina State. Not to insinuate. Necessarily your character as a, if it's not in you, it's not in you. And I think we would be more, we'd have more of an issue with Russell Wilson. if he tried to present a version of himself that was just unauthentic to be the action. Like Russell Wilson, now, granted, from a football aspect,

you know, only his teammates and former teammates can speak about that. And they have been very vocal about him in the locker room and stuff like that. I obviously can't speak to that. But from a personal standpoint, I think he's very authentically himself. And I think if he tried to come out there

and he was like, you know, when he first got with Sierra and he was dressed in a lot of swagger, people were like, yo, who does this guy think he is? Right. When he pulls back and he's, more like I'm just to be me. I'm going to be Russell. I'm going to be a dad.

I'm going to be a husband. Now it's like, oh, you can't have it both ways. You can't play both sides. Should we retire? For sure. I think, I think, I think it's it for him. I only think this is a story respectfully and I say this holding down the shift button as I'm typing it out. The people, the reason why people make this a story about is Russell Wilson cool enough is because who

Sierra was with prior to Russell Wilson. If Sierra was with, this is my honest opinion, and I'm entitled to it and everybody can do whatever they want. But if she was with anybody else and given the optics of, hey, she moved on from him to go here, it's like, oh, that don't match. I agree with you. And with that, now it gives people this narrative

comparing the two. And if it works for them, whoop-de-do. You know what I'm saying? But I think there's something to be said about her changing her type, per se, and now look at her life. Sometimes you've got to go against what you've always known to get a different result. If she has spoke highly of her man,

if they still stayed together, stuck it out. Congratulations. You made it another day. Now do you think you should retire? Absolutely. And I'm going to tell you why. Why? The first couple of games weren't that bad.

They weren't that great. They weren't winning, though. Tusha. I think the discussion point now is, is he a Hall of Famer? I think Russell Wilson is a Hall of Fame. Why? Is because if you let people who is projected to get in a Hall of Fame in, his numbers are comparable to them.

One being Eli Manning. Then that brings up the discussion. Somebody will say, Eli Manning won two Super Bowls. Russell Wilson only won one. I said, okay, cool. Well, if we're giving that optic for Steve Young is in the Hall of Fame. As a starting quarterback, he's only won one Super Bowl. So that merit alone says, all right, he should be in Hall of Fame.

He should be in a Hall of Fame. Quarterbacks, we haven't won any Super Bowls in the Hall of Fame. Hello, Dan Marino. Right. But Dan Marino put up, what are we doing? Yeah. And I think that that's what we do oftentimes in sports. It's almost like the beauty thing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Favorites with athletes is in the eye of the beholder. It's the same thing. It's like if we're covering sports and that's why we love sports so much. And these type of topics and viewpoints is what we plan on bringing to, you know, the screen for 106 in sports as well. We got to have in the politics. No. Okay.

Good. This is personal for me. What do y'all feel about the Ravens right now? Why? Why? Why? Why? I'm looking at the games and like, why are y'all losing?

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't. But I still do think that there's. going to make it to the playoff. Thank you. It's not because I'm a fan of the Ravens more so than I believe in Lamar Jackson. Yes.

Like, Lamar Jackson is another person similar to what I was saying about Travis Hunter. Yeah, does he have any Super Bowls? No. But does he have MVP's? Yes. And I think he is the best quarterback during this span, including Patrick Mahomes, because what

Lamar Jackson does is different than what Patrick Mahomes do is he is the visual for people that give them hope like Michael Vick was to me I didn't think I could ever play quarterback until I seen somebody look like me, play like me and relate or I could relate to while they were playing.

I've seen Lamar Jackson. I've witnessed his greatness when he goes back to South Florida. No domestic charges. No DUI. We don't even know who he's dating. We don't know what is going on. The main thing has always been the main thing. I respect that people critique him on his football prowess and not other things because being in the league as long as he has, being in the spotlight as long as he has, he has zero blemishes. And I'm knocking on wood saying that because that's what I look at. I know it's hard. It's easy to get. get in trouble. It's hard to get out of it. And we don't highlight that enough where, bro, like, Russell Wilson's the same thing. Like, we ain't never heard of Russell Wilson slap us, yeah. Like, what, that would have been like character defamation for the rest of his life. Right. But we're talking about

opinions that we don't hang our head on enough in regards, especially the narrative of the black athlete. Right. See what I'm saying? So. Now, we got to go to Sanders. I know you guys. got to go. Sanders family. You mentioned Sanders earlier today. What's your thoughts on Shador? What's your thoughts on Deion? I told it. I've been open about I don't think Cleveland wants him to succeed. Yeah, I said it was a business decision. It's definitely. Like, why would you, like, why would I could, and, uh, not just seen her, um, why would I cut DJ Envy if he's leading in business? Like that t-shirt or that chain that you got on, it's doing numbers

from a business standpoint. It's like, why would I cut that? He's good for business. Now, granted, people always look at the entertainment of the NFL, not realizing like, yo, Jerry Jones is a dominant businessman. And this is a sport to him. How can we, like, we get money. Like, when the Dallas Cowboys, he's mind-tricked everybody

to think that when the Dallas Cowboys are good, it's good for football. No, it's not. It's good for your pockets. But the fact that Shador isn't playing, the Browns can't get any lower than they already are, right? They're a very disgruntled franchise

as a whole historically, right? I would understand the business aspect of it if he were playing, but he's not seeing the field, so I don't see what the return on your investment is for a quarterback that doesn't suit up. He's not even getting garbage time in it. I mean, he's not seeing the fields at all,

so I can understand, you know, with the analogy you use about envy, if, like, even in the fourth quarter And the Browns are either losing or they're up, which is rarely ever the case. But if they're losing. If you look at the games, they've been in the games. But what I'm saying is,

it's like he's not getting any field time. So it's not like you even re-end the back of his superstardom of Shador Sanders in the Sanders' name if he's not even seeing the field. I put it like this. In simplistic form, you get garbage time when there's garbage opportunities. Down by 40 or up by 40.

Unfortunately, you're Ravens last week. All right, you can relax. That was last question For that optic When you're like 35 to 3 That's garbage time Cleveland has been in pretty much Every single game that they've played

So it's hard to be like Yo we're trying to win Evie As You know You're expecting to win It's surprising that They have been in games

We're not used to seeing that And it's like When you have a guy you know, as dominant as their defensive in, their defense as a whole, and they are capable,

Miles Garrett, I'm thinking of his name, Miles Garrett, and we don't have an offense that's generating offense. And that's the frustrating thing. My reason for saying, hey, I don't think they want him to succeed is because look at the situations

that they put him in. It was only the first preseason game that I felt like it was an adequate quit time for you to judge to see if he's capable. The third, the other one, it was just like, bro, them, them guys ain't even going to be in. You know what I'm saying? You did say, though, when the situation happened, that he was going to have an uphill battle for two reasons. One is last name, but also because of where he was drafted.

For sure. And if you take the last name out of the picture, it was already going to be an uphill battle. You add the last name, you add Dion Sanders, you add everything from Colorado, and it's just add into the already uphill battle. that any fifth round pick has. Yeah, and he has a quarterback that was drafted in the same year. So that's, you know, Dylan Gabriel, who's from the optics, they want him to succeed.

They put him in position to succeed. I can't say the same, enough as much, you know, push your door. I know you got to go, I know you have a question. Yeah, one, the question. So first, congratulations on your deal with ESPN, for sake. Yes, ma. Yeah, so I know when everything happened with Shannon Sharpen and your deal was announce people made it seem like you were like the replacement because he was going to no longer

be there and I know he's a mentor to you how has just navigating that dynamic or even that conversation been for you because even when you spoke about it you made sure that you were like you know you were very thoughtful of how you spoke on both sides of it like you refer to her and fair to him yeah who is her the alleged victim oh yeah yeah like I speak of about my personal relationships with individuals not to condone or you know support wrongness. That's not the case. If somebody feels that God bless me with an opportunity off of somebody else, well, whoop-de-do. Now, I know Shannon Sharp. Shannon Sharp has helped me in my career immensely. You can't have me talk bad on that person because I look up to him in a way

and I judge my content off of some of the things that he does. I can call Shannon Sharp right now. I can reach out to Ocho right now. You can't make me hate Nightcap, knowing any different than club, shay-shay. You can't make me hate it is what it is, nor can make me hate the pivot. You can't make me hate any other platform that I see anybody that has my complexion. Because I think what we get misguided with is this is not. competition and content. It's just my next collaboration. It's not, I ain't competing with you,

bro. First take, Stephen A. Smith calls me. He's like, hey, man, I'm going to give you two options, which one you want to do. You can either do this or you can do that. Now, and I said, no, no, no, no, Stephen A, like, tell me what you want. Now, do, do, do. It was that. It's like, hey, man, like, how can I be better? Give me my muff review. Hey, man, you got to get to your points faster. This is live TV. People are watching and expecting you to get to your point. Now, It's not no fourth and one type of tone where you can build up the story. It's like, no, bro, because I need innuendos. I need, I need cues.

And you guys have been working together where you know like, okay, she's about to wrap it up or he's about to kind of bring it to a close. We're trying to study each other. But we also need to have the ratings and the reviews to be entertaining. Right. So it's unfortunate what, you know, Shannon Sharp went through. But for me, I respect him. with the media empire that he's creating and is have created or creating, he's extremely

brilliant. And when it comes to Stephen A. Smith, he's a person that is a machine, a machine. And we had our discussion about him yesterday, and I think he's been very intentional about how people view him. It's extremely intentional. It's like, yo, he moved you. And I've been saying this on this press run. It's like, I want to move people emotionally. Like when people look at this thing, like, I want them.

I tell, why is he talking again? Y'all keep putting the mic in front of his face. Why are like, next? I moved you. You gave me that comment. That's right. Checkmate. Oh, man, that's my boy, Cam.

Bro, where I get one of them hats at? Hey, what do you get the swag from? I moved you. That's right. checkmate. So when you start looking at what you're doing holistically as a business and not just a hobby, that's when you're going to start seeing the greatness in people.
