[DJ Envy]

[Morgan]

Hey.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How you feeling?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good.

[Just Hilarious]

I love to hear it. Okay, let's get into it. First on front page, Elon Musk is still slamming President Trump's so called. One big beautiful bill saying it needs to be killed in a post on X must said a spending bill should be drafted that doesn't massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by $5 trillion in a later post, he urged Americans to call their senators and congressmen, saying bankrupting America is not okay. Kill the bill. Now, Musk has been critically, highly critically of the spending bill in days since ending his work with Doge as a special government employee for the White House. On Tuesday, he called it a discussion. Disgusting abomination. Meanwhile, the House Speaker Mike Johnson says Elon Musk has ghosted his calls and him over President Trump's so called one big beautiful bill. And he calls Musk recent comments, very disappointing as he continues to tout the bill. Now, Speaker Johnson spoke to the media saying he called Musk following his recent comments. But Elon didn't answer. And he went on to say that he spoke to President Trump, who's not too delighted about Elon's current stance on this big beautiful bill. Let's take a listen to Speaker Johnson. House Speaker Mike Johnson.

[Drew Sidora]

Well, I'll tell you, I called Elon.

[Morgan]

Last night and he didn't answer.

[Just Hilarious]

I don't know what happened in 24 hours.

[Drew Sidora]

Everybody can draw their own conclusions about that, okay? But I look forward to talking to.

[Morgan]

My friend about it again.

[Drew Sidora]

And obviously we've talked about this. As you know, he's not delighted that elon did a 180 on that.

[Just Hilarious]

So Musk has since posted Bankrupting America is not okay Again. Kill the bill. And the Congressional Budget Office reports the legislation would add a 2.4 trillion dollar to the NASH to the nation's deficit over the next decade. And the bill can only afford to lose 3, 3 GOP votes in the Senate, which is happening right now. The Senate is taking up this bill as, as the session has begun. Now, elsewhere, Capitol Hill lawmakers are coming together in opposition.

[Drew Sidora]

Well, hold on, Morgan, I want to say something. Right. Well, this criticism, yeah, this criticism from Elon is one of two things. Either Elon said, Look, I paid damn near $300 million for this presiden, so I have paid the cost. I have paid the cost to be the boss, literally. So I can criticize the President and this bill. And if your job, you know, as the head of Doge was defined waste in government, and then you see a bill that's wasteful, you have to call it out. Correct. But this also could just be a way for Elon to rehabilitate his image and get his companies back on track. So they're all in on it. Hey, I'm gonna criticize this bill. I'm gonna criticize you. You know, you're leaving our administration to get back to work. We know that your Companies took a hit. So we're gonna let you, you know, criticize us to REH Image. I will believe all of this when Trump cancels one of Elon Musk's government contracts with SpaceX. Because you know, that's how he plays. That's how he plays.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, you're right.

[Drew Sidora]

You know, that's how he plays.

[Just Hilarious]

That's, that's true.

[DJ Envy]

That's true.

[Drew Sidora]

If somebody around him is really criticizing him and you know he's going to punish them in some way, I believe it when Trump cancels one of Elon.

[Just Hilarious]

Musk contracts for SpaceX, he's Elon is already filling it in with Tesla. So you know, to your point, the both points are good and valid. Elsewhere, Capitol Hill lawmakers are coming together in opposition of a 10 year ban on AI regulations which is a part of, also a part of Trump's so called big beautiful bill. Now, Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, y' all may know her as bleach bomb built bad bill's body.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

She says it violates states rights. And California Democrat Ted Lou, he tends to agree, adding that banning states from putting guardrails on AI would cause unnecessary harm. Let's take a listen to California Democrat Ted Lieu's comments.

[Drew Sidora]

I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene once every hundred years. This is that time. I agree that this 10 year provision is extreme.

[DJ Envy]

It's going to cause unnecessary harm.

[Drew Sidora]

This is a bad provision and I.

[DJ Envy]

Hope the Senate will take out this 10 year moratorium.

[Just Hilarious]

Marjorie Taylor Greene pretty much said that, you know, that she doesn't agree with it. And you know, people came for her saying you had one job just to read the bill, but she basically said the same thing that, you know, there's no telling what can happen in 10 years with AI. Ted Lieu, he wants the Senate to strip out the provision if it stays in there. Greene says she won't vote for it for when the bill comes back for a vote. And that could doom the whole package. Thanks to the slim margins in the House. Again, they can only afford. The Senate Republicans can only afford three votes. No votes in against this bill.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah, there has to be some type of regulations on AI over the next decade. We just like, you know, I was, I'd be watching so many AI videos and I'd be just like, wow.

[Just Hilarious]

I mean at this point it's hard to tell what's real and what's, you know, what's AI and there definitely needs to be some regulations on that for sure. But Republican Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee also backed musk criticism, while Republican congresswoman, as I mentioned, Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed regret for voting yes on the measure. Senate Republicans, as I mentioned before, can only afford three no votes to get the measure passed. They're looking at July 4th as a projected deadline to get that bill on Trump's desk. So I will keep you guys posted on this one big, beautiful bill and what. And how it continues to move.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, thank you, Morgan.

[Just Hilarious]

[Charlamagne tha God]

We'll see you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Y' all was talking about the. The big, beautiful bill and Elon Musk.

[Drew Sidora]

Yes, sir. Yeah. The reason he.

[Caller]

He's opposing is because it's killing the industry in the bill. It kills the. The tax rebate, and also it's gonna make people with an EV pay 250 a year just to drive EVs. So that's why he's opposing the bill.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, okay.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah, I heard of Brian Tyler Cohen. Yeah.

[Caller]

[Drew Sidora]

I think that's. I think that's a. Another good reason. I also think that he's trying to rehabilitate his image, though, so. Just so he can get his companies back on track.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, but if this whole thing is.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

[Charlamagne tha God]

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah. Because he already. But he already lost a bunch of money just being the head of Doge, you know, and firing a bunch of people. Like, so, you know, there's a lot of people who already turned their back on a lot of Elon's companies. You see. You see his stock prices dropping. Crazy. Definitely.

Who was being prejudiced to po? That's very whack. Like. Like that. That sounds very anti poon poom. Just say y' all like bonky. Say boon say something like that. But I do like boogie boogie boom boo.

[Caller]

That's the thing.

[Drew Sidora]

That's what I'm saying. Don't say that. Don't. You ain't got to disrespect the Poom Po.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Boogie Boogie is crazy, y' all.

[Drew Sidora]

I'd rather hear that. And I don't hear y' all say no kitty kitty cat cat. Like, that's whack to me. Like, yeah, Why y' all dissing the Poom poom? Just because y' all don't like it. I don't think like this. And they're just saying that we don't want any vagina because we would rather have, you know, if I said that, if I said no gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, y' all be mad. You wouldn't say that. You would say, no, no but. No but, no but. And y' all would be mad. Y' all would call me homophobic. You don't want no butt. Who gonna be mad if you don't want no butt? Charlamagne, don't be poom poomphobic, bro. Nobody bad.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Nobody mad.

[Drew Sidora]

You don't want no butt.

[Charlamagne tha God]

How do we get here? Happy pride to everybody out there.

[Drew Sidora]

I like that. No disrespect to pool poom kid. No cat, cat, cat. You know what I'm saying? Nobody want to hear that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. What up, Lauren?

[DJ Envy]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You going to court today?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hey, girl.

[DJ Envy]

I'm still figuring that out. Okay, if I'm going today, just tell the truth.

[Drew Sidora]

You're over it. It's okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't go.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not over it. I'm just picking and choosing because there's a lot that goes down.

[Drew Sidora]

It's a lot of ditty fatigue. This week has been kind of whack, you know, that's what. You know, once you go from the Cassie's and the Kid Cudi's. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

The bigger.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's still interesting. They said the big fight yesterday.

[DJ Envy]

The bigger. I mean. But all these stories we've heard, it's just.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, Cassie and Diddy in a knife fight.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. And then he hung the. Allegedly. And then he hung the best friend on the balcony or the friend on the balcony. Yesterday, the girl who testified was the friend on the balcony.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

So these are stories we heard, but now they're bringing the people in themselves to speak to it. So that's. I mean, it feels like it's been.

[Drew Sidora]

Well, at least to me just watching it feels like it's been a week. Week for the prosecution. But I don't see the defense doing.

[DJ Envy]

Anything strong either, I think, because, I mean, the defense, they do. They cross. They do what they do. But after this, they're waiting to present their case. The government has already said that they're going to rest their case early. So I think if I'm the defense right now, I'm just ramping up my case. And already outlets have begun to talk more about who the defense will bring on as witnesses versus a little bit less about what's happening besides, like basic recaps.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But like Charlotte said, you don't want to be fatigued because you're a juror out there and you might get to the point where you're just tired of hearing the same old stuff over and over and over again.

[DJ Envy]

So I don't know why this is my first time going actually into the court, even though I've like, reported on other cases. But I think it's just a thing of they want to any. Because sometimes the bigger witnesses will mention these stories, but they don't fill in small context details.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And then the actual person themselves comes in and fills in things like, you know, that we maybe didn't know or like little small details. So they just want to make sure again, it's. They have no. There's no doubt whatsoever when you're a drawer.

[Drew Sidora]

What you got in the latest because I know it's not bad.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And the latest we are going to be talking about, unfortunately, we're going to be talking about DDG and Halle Bailey again because DDG is asking a judge to stop her from taking their son out of the country because he's saying she's emotionally unstable, suicidal, and a danger to their son's safety. Allegedly.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The stuff.

[Drew Sidora]

You.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You going. You want to talk about the text messages or whatever, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Yep. We got the docs. It took me a little minute to get to them, but I got the doc. So we have the text messages and a bunch of different things that DDG has put into his filing to try and, you know, prove what he's claiming.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But also it looks so crazy like.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, we'll get to that next. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Lauren becoming a straight fact.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Drew Sidora]

She gets the details.

[DJ Envy]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[Drew Sidora]

She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so DDG is asking a judge to stop Haley Bailey from taking their son Halo out of the country for work because he says she's emotionally unstable, suicidal, and is a danger to their son's safety and to others safety. So ddd, DDG submitted these docs in response to some things that. In response to her request to go out of the country and in response to some of the things that she had filed previously. He says that there are several instances that all of these things that spanned over several years. So there's a bunch of text messages that he included in this doc, like, a ton photos of alleged, like, bruises he received from their physical altercations and different conversations that they had. But of the most alarming that he alleges in the doc, he says that on March 21, 2024, Haley sent a ton of text messages to him. She was threatening, allegedly. She was allegedly threatening to kill herself and suggesting that their son might be harmed as well. He says during time, she was actually driving a car. And he alleges that he was so scared for her safety because she had done or alleged and said she would do things like this to herself before, that he actually called her godmother because he was worried that their child would be in danger and that she was in danger because of the. This emotional state that she was in while driving. There's also an incident that he talks about, August 2023. They got into an argument of some sort. And after the argument, he alleges that Haley took his legal gun and left their home. And he got scared again for her safety and called his mom and his mother's fiance because he couldn't find her. So he says that his mom came, found her. They found her outside of the home, allegedly still holding the gun. And she was emotionally unwell and incoherent and potentially suicidal then. And then there is an additional time, March 22, that he alleges in Atlanta. He says that this was the first time that Haley threatened to harm herself with a knife. She was texting and calling him repeatedly. And I do have some of the screenshots from the document. So in one text, she's texting him, and she's, you know, if the. If this is her. These alleged texts, she's saying it's all his fault. She's saying, you know, cry about it later. And this is after she would have threatened to harm herself and not live anymore. And that's a repeated cycle in these texts that he's included. And he's responding and saying, why do you want me to sit on the phone and listen to you yell at me all day? You do this to me every day. And she says, I beg for your help. You know, I don't have anyone. I'm actively suicidal and struggling. You know, I'VE been running to the doctor every day for help and you still play in my face. I won't make it to my birthday because of you. So this is just an example of some of the type of text I can't hear myself some of the type of texts that were included in this document. Now Haley has responded and she's hey.

[Morgan]

What up y' all?

[Charlamagne tha God]

[Caller]

Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast Hell and Gone, I've learned one thing. No town is too small for murder. I'm Katherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders.

[Morgan]

I was calling about the murder of my husband.

[Caller]

It's a cold case.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They've never found her. And it haunts me to this day.

[Drew Sidora]

The murderer is still out there.

[Caller]

Every week on Helen Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking.

Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother.

[DJ Envy]

She was still somebody's daughter. She was still somebody's sister. There's so many questions that we've never.

[Drew Sidora]

Gotten any kind of answers for.

[Caller]

If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Helen Gone murder line at 678744, 6145. Listen to Helen Gone Murderline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[DJ Envy]

She responded.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Halle.

[DJ Envy]

Halle. Sorry, I can't hear.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hallie, I can't hear you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

My headphones not up.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, my headphones.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Charlemagne was having the same problem this morning.

[DJ Envy]

First of all, it was up. It was the thing. It was all the way in. I'm sorry, Jess, what were you saying? Halle?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, it's okay. It's okay.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. So Halle and my grandmother. My great grandma's name, Holly. Okay, so Halle has responded, and in her response, she basically is saying that it's ironic that he's just now waiting to respond. She's saying that she should be granted permission because she has to go and work, she has to make money for her child. And she also did directly address the mental health things, and she says that she alleges that DDG is exaggerating, lying, and misconstruing facts for the court, not only to make the history. Relationship of their relationship look crazy, but to make her parenting and her mental health look. Look away as well. She says, there's no doubt that I was emotionally devastated in 2022 and in 2023 by his behavior and ongoing abuse that she alleges I have been very vocal about my anxiety, depression, and previous thoughts of suicide. Without waiving the rights of her therapist and her privilege. She says she has reached out to her doctor to receive treatments and to address these issues. And she also says that if given a chance, like if a judge takes. Takes this to court, she'll take the stand and talk about all these things, and she has nothing to hide. But it's unfair that he's right now requesting to. For her to not be able to take the child out of the country. And the reason why he's saying that he doesn't want the child to go out of the country is, number one. Of course, you know, all the mental health stuff that he's alleging is harmful. But he's also saying that if the. If baby halo goes out of the country and, you know, God forbid something were to happen, like she goes into a mental state, allegedly, or she's threatening to harm the baby, they're out of the court's jurisdiction, so there's nothing that he can do to intervene. And it could take weeks, days or.

[Drew Sidora]

Whatever before he could imagine struggling with all those issues. And, Jess, you can speak to this. I mean, postpartum depression is real as well.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely it is. You don't know, like, you. You don't know what your days are going to be. Like, you wake up, you sad, you're constantly sad, and all you want is a break from the baby. And thank God that I did have breaks. But, like, it seems like even in those messages, you know what I mean? Like, she's asking him, begging him, practically, like, like, yo, I'm. I need you. I need you to help me. You know what I mean? All you got, all you can do is be there for somebody with pleasure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Post.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Postpartum depression.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Drew Sidora]

As a man. And envy. You know, as a man and father of four, the most important thing you can do after your lady has a baby is help. You got to help with child care. You got to help with errands, meal prep. And if you got to go get professional help, go do that too. You just got to create an environment of support.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, but that's what I think that he's saying. And he's saying if, if this happens while she's overseas taping, who's there to help or who's there to, you know, help with the kids? But.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, she has that, though.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, but that's what he, he's saying.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, and he's saying he, like on the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But in the messages. But the, the messages reflect that she said, you know, I have nobody.

[Drew Sidora]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what I'm saying? So it's like, you know, it's. And then, and then, Lauren, let me ask you this. Did he post these or did. Or are you able to find these? Is this public record?

[DJ Envy]

So I actually was not able to find it publicly on the, the Pacer outlet that I go on. I had to, I had to do other things to be able to get my hands on the docs. So I'm not for sure. TMZ broke the story exclusively. I' and I don't know because I don't work there anymore. So I don't know how these outlets. Because the text messages were in the actual docs.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So if you got the doc.

[DJ Envy]

No, I didn't see that he posted it. No. And also too, he did go. He, he did get on a stream after and he said in the beginning of the stream, like, we're going to have positivity here. We're going to. Like, he, he wasn't really directly trying to speak to it, but I mean, when you include stuff like this in documents, whether it's. I, I can't answer the question 100. If it's publicly available or not. It wasn't available to me, but it's here, so any outlet can grab it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And now it's Circulating and I really hate that. I hate the fact that a go through something and they have these documents and these text messages that are private, but they're doing it, you know, for their own, you know, situation, their own custody battle, but anybody can grab them and now people can put them out and use them against him. I hate that so much. That is between, between those two couples that she stayed between those two couples. It ain't nobody's business. She shouldn't have to feel embarrassed. He shouldn't have to feel embarrassed. They are working it out as a couple that's separated.

[Drew Sidora]

Especially if you're trying to heal privately.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Correct.

[Drew Sidora]

You got to heal privately, but live out loud publicly. That's. Boy, I wouldn't wish that on.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I hate the fact that people could get docs.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Could send Haley right back into depression. You know what I mean? To have to be embarrassed about this. It's crazy. I mean, I get he, he can be embarrassed about it, but she can be very embarrassed about it. It's something that she experienced.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's a court case. Yeah. He, he should, they should be able to discuss the court case and things, intimate things in their court case. But it should never hit the. I hate the fact that it hits the public knowledge like that.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Drew Sidora]

Well, just keep in mind, folks, folks, it's a lot of emotional and mental responsibility that comes with having them babies, okay? So think about that when you popping that boom, boom for a goon. Okay. Oh, when you got that penis out raw, unprotected, sticking it in, put it in them, shot up in them deadly venom.

[DJ Envy]

Hop in the poom, poom for a goon. I never heard that one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, I like that one. I'm like, that's a ball.

[Drew Sidora]

All right. Better stop. You find out he might get deported. You know how that go. You know how they do. Wow.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right. That is the latest with Lauren. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Drew Sedora will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Drew Sidora]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club Club. Let's get in some front page news so quick for tonight, the paces take on OKC game one of the NBA finals at 8:30pm Eastern time. I say OKC in five. Charlie, you got a prediction?

[Drew Sidora]

No, but I think OKC going to win the series. Yeah, I mean, you know, I, I, I, I don't like this. I don't. I can't sleep on a team like Indiana, like, you know, so I don't know. I would say OKC and six, maybe five, but I just know they're gonna win the series. I don't know what it's gonna be.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, what up, Morgan?

[Just Hilarious]

All right, y' all, let's get back into it. So President Trump has signed a proclamation banning travel to and from 12 countries, citing security risk. Now, multiple reports say the proclamation fully restricts and limits the entry of nationals from 12 countries. The President elaborated on the ban from the Oval Office yesterday. Let's take a listen to his comments.

[Drew Sidora]

The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. We don't want them.

[Just Hilarious]

So the president went on to blame.

[Morgan]

We don't want him.

[Just Hilarious]

The president went on to blame former President Biden, citing open border policies for various attacks that have occurred over the course of time. Now, when it comes to the travel ban, the list includes Haiti, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and others. People from seven countries will have partial restrictions, including Cuba and Venezuela. Now, Trump reportedly was back and forth on the decision, but it also comes as Sunday's anti Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, put some things in quicker motion. In other news, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon testified before the House Committee on Education and labor about her agency's budget and priorities when she revealed that she wasn't too informed about the Tulsa race massacre or who Ruby Bridges was. Let's take a listen to her exchange between Pennsylvania Representative Summer Lee and the Secretary of Education. Education, let me repeat, Linda McMahon. Let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is?

[Morgan]

I'd like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so I look forward to that. How about the book Through My Eyes by Ruby Bridges, for instance?

[Drew Sidora]

I haven't read that.

[DJ Envy]

Have you learned about Ruby Bridges?

[Morgan]

If you have specific examples you like.

[DJ Envy]

That was a specific example.

[Morgan]

I'll be very happy.

[DJ Envy]

It was an incredibly specific example.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Questions?

[Morgan]

And I will look into it and get back to you on the mic.

[Drew Sidora]

So earlier this week, you had the head of FEMA who didn't know that America had a hurricane season. Now you got the Secretary of Education, who don't seem to have an education man.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, so Representative Lee definitely slammed the Trump administration's anti DEI agenda and compared it to the Jim Crow era. For those who don't know. Ruby Bridges is a prominent figure and. And the civil rights movement, known mostly for being the first African American child to desegregate schools. And the Tulsa race massacre, also known as the Tulsa Race riot, was a horrific act of racial violence that occurred in Tulsa, Oklahoma between May 31 and June 1, 1921, where white mobs attacked residents homes and businesses. I'm talking about thriving businesses in the predominantly black Greenwood neighborhood, also known as Black Wall Street. Yeah, they was hating. And in my last story, one of former former President Biden's press secretary is. Is she's revealing that she has ditched the Democratic Party and is now independent. Karine Jean Pierre made the revelation with her new book, Independent A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines. That book is set to be released this fall. Jean Pierre described her book about the time in. About her time in Biden's White House. Let's take a listen.

[Morgan]

This book, Independent, it's, it's about looking at outside of boxes, not just always being in a partisan stance. And how do we move forward together in a compassionate way. I think we need to stop thinking in boxes and think outside of our boxes and not be so partisan.

[Just Hilarious]

So the publisher says Jean Pierre will take readers through the three weeks that led to Biden's abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision. Now, Jean Pierre, of course, served as White House press secretary under the Biden administration from May 2022 until the end of his presidency in January. Independent will hit shelves on October 21st. Any thoughts on Jean Pierre switching parties?

[Drew Sidora]

Let's discuss. Well, she didn't switch party. She's an independent now. Right. So I respect her being independent because I feel like if you black in this country, you shouldn't be loyal to any party. You should only be voting your interests. You should only be voting for politicians who are implementing legislation and policies for your communities and your people. And if you ask me, none of these parties have done enough for us to be screaming, we Republican are Democrats. So independent is the way to go. But when it comes to her in particular, I'm probably gonna read the book, but nobody wants to hear from anyone who got up there and lied for the Biden administration. It's like a lot of these folks are having to come to Jesus moment way too late. They should have been talking like this two or three years ago. And she had a very interesting quote in her press release. The quote was, we need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically. We need to be clear eyed and questioning rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past. And that right there is the problem with Democrat supporters, especially black ones, just blindly loyal and obedient for no damn reason.

[Just Hilarious]

I got a follow up question regarding that quote. Do you think that that is that she's, in terms of her loyalty, do you think that she's saying that she's being loyal to Biden as the president or loyal to the office as being a press secretary for the White House? Is there a difference in being loyal to the White House in office or being loyal to President Biden?

[Drew Sidora]

You can't be loyal to either when being loyal to them would be a detriment to your country. And based off the condition that President Joe Biden was in and she was somebody that was around him all the time, I feel like it was their duty to tell the American people what was going on on. And they didn't. Even though we all had eyes and we all had ears and we saw it for ourself, but they were the ones that were up close and personal with him all the time and they all were in on the conspiracy to hide his physical and mental condition from America. And that's why they lost the election. Well, one of the many reasons why they lost the election.

[Just Hilarious]

Clock it, brother. Tell them why you mad. All right, y' all. So that's your front page news. Y' all can follow me on socials at morganmedia. M o R G Y N M E D I A and for more news coverage, follow at Black Information Network, Download the free iHeartRadio app and visit [e-mail]. y' all have a great day. Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

[Charlamagne tha God]

[Just Hilarious]

Yes, indeed.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know her from Real Housewives of Atlanta. Ladies and gentlemen, Drew Sidora.

[Drew Sidora]

Welcome.

[Morgan]

Good morning, y' all.

[Drew Sidora]

How you feeling?

[DJ Envy]

How are you?

[Morgan]

I'm good, I'm good. I actually have been in New York for a couple days, so the city's been showing me love. I'm not tired. I'm awake. I'm here with y' all.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

How's your energy how's your energy?

[Morgan]

My energy is better. You know, I've been going through a lot, but I feel like where y' all have seen me for the past, what, two years? I'm definitely in a more healed place.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

When did you get to that place?

[Morgan]

Honestly, working on my album was like my therapy. So I think that just being able to get all of those emotions out and just do something productive and put it all on paper and leave it there, that was a big part of, you know, my healing journey for breaking.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Down for people that don't know what y' all talking about. Cause a lot of people might not watch the Housewives of Atlanta.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So she was on Housewives Atlanta. You recently got a divorce, A separation.

[Morgan]

Well, it's not official yet. Separation, still going through the process, which.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Is a weird separation. Cause he lives in the basement.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And you live upstairs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And you're not allowed downstairs.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. And he's been there for.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And he's not allowed to come upstairs unless I grant him access. It's just like, I've never heard of this. Like, I don't know anybody else that I can say. Girl, how did you deal with this? You know, I've never heard of this, and I did not know that would ever be something the judge would rule on. So it makes it extra complicated. It's already hard enough divorces already tough enough, but, you know, to run into each other in the driveway or. You know what I mean? Like, it's a lot. You have no idea.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, how did it even come to that point that. Who said that this how it should be? Like. Cause I've never heard of that. Did he say, I want to live and I want to remain in the house? And, like, how did that happen?

[Morgan]

He was basically like, I'm not leaving. Like, his attorneys were like, yeah, he's not gonna leave the premises. And so. Have you seen that movie War of Wait? World of Roses.

[Charlamagne tha God]

World of Roses.

[Morgan]

Thank you. Yeah, right? It's like that in real life, you know, where it's the asset in the marriage. And so what I've been learning through this process, like, you know, it's love, and it's like, pure bliss. And we built this beautiful family, and we're building legacy, and then all of a sudden, we're going through a divorce, and now it's all business. It's like, you know, a negotiation of. So the asset being the house. It's a big deal, you know, and so I would love to just split everything, like, hey, 50 50. Keep it simple, and we can be done. But he's like, I want everything. I want the house. I want 40% of your business. Business that I've had since 2005. My company, you know? And he's coming for that. And it's. It's just.

[Charlamagne tha God]

How did y' all get there, though? What started this separation? People assumed it was cheating. People assumed it was so many different things. How did y' all get there?

[Drew Sidora]

Let's go, girl. I like when you get in your bag. I like when you get your Real Housewife bag. I like when you get your Real Housewife bag.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Daddy.

[Drew Sidora]

When you be scrambling and scrambling in your Real Housewife bag. I like that. Daddy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Housewife.

[Morgan]

Okay, all right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm sorry.

[Morgan]

Okay. So you know everything. So then you watched it.

[DJ Envy]

You, like, explain to people.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So what happened, Right?

[Morgan]

So a lot. So we lived in Chicago. I'm from Chicago originally. Born and raised. And we lived there for some time. And it was a lot of women, you know, it was a lot of women, you know, the whole finding things in your phone or finding. I got family. Like, it's family. Everybody knows we live here. People seeing you out.

[Drew Sidora]

Sir.

[Morgan]

At dinner with women. So it was a lot of that.

[Drew Sidora]

So you were in his phone?

[Morgan]

I did at one point.

[Drew Sidora]

Why you so nosy?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Excuse me?

[Drew Sidora]

Why can't you let him and his women be.

[Morgan]

Wow. I need to ask you some questions.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what?

[DJ Envy]

At first, I thought it was because he just don't watch the show. Then I'm like, oh, no, he trying to get her.

[Morgan]

He being a clown. Aren't you from South Carolina?

[Drew Sidora]

Yes, ma' am.

[Morgan]

Y' all might be cousins.

[Drew Sidora]

Really?

[Morgan]

Oh, he. Oh, I think he's from Huge.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Huge.

[Drew Sidora]

Right by Moss Corner. Oh, right by.

[Morgan]

You know, he got a lot of cousins. You remember cousin Courtney on the show?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah. He don't. He don't know Cousin Courtney.

[Morgan]

Oh, you see, I don't.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So wait, so back then.

[Morgan]

So that was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That was in Chicago. You found out, but then y' all moved to Atlanta. You forgave him?

[Morgan]

I did. You know, because. Let me tell you. So my parents were married for 60 years till my dad passed away. So I grew up in a household, you know, where I saw people choose each other every day. Fight, makeup, you know, that was just what I saw. So that's what I wanted for myself. So when I got married, it was like, this is what we go through. We're gonna talk about it, communicate, and move forward. So, yes, I did forgive him. We moved to Atlanta, and He left and went to Tampa for three days. Everyone saw that on national tv. But it was embarrassing, you know what I mean? Like, you leave your family and you don't tell us where you went. And it was more so because it was public, you know, and humiliation and embarrassment. And I think that was tough.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That was the last straw. That was it for you.

[Morgan]

I mean, it was that. And it was just the continuous behavior of, like, dealing with other women and then coming on the show. And then there was women saying, oh, they were pregnant. It was a particular woman who reached out and said she was pregnant with this baby. And that was a big. That was a big thing. That was probably one of the biggest straws. And then it was the disrespect of my mom, you know, of my family, the disrespect of my son JoJo, my 14 year old. So it was just very layered. And finally he moved out of the bedroom. So we separated. And we were separated at the time. So it was a huge separation. We were trying to repair things, but ultimately it just wasn't able to be repaired.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And he thought you should.

[Morgan]

Well, that's. That's what he says. You know, it was almost like, oh, she's hanging out and having fun. Oh, this is my moment. You know, and now it flipped to like a victim mentality when that really wasn't what it was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And it's Pride month, so they thought it was a girl.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, well, they thought that before this month. Oh, yeah. But I heard you talk about it on Carlos King.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And that was my first time actually hearing you explain it the way you did. So he had alleged that you were dating a woman at the time and that's who you were cheating with. And you said at the time you were going through so much with him that you would have taken attention from a cardboard box. Please talk about that.

[Drew Sidora]

Is it cheating if it's eating?

[Morgan]

What are we eating?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What is the matter with you, girl? Lord.

[Morgan]

Just the comic relief of the situation that you need. I mean, you know, I wouldn't say there was eating. You know, we were hanging out. That's still my girl to this day. Like, we're still friends. But I think it was extra sauce placed on it. I will say. Okay. Flirting. Yeah. Like, I'll be honest about that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A little nibble.

[Morgan]

A little nibbled on some food. We went to dinner. We was eating at the dinner table. But all of the extra stuff, I mean, you have to really watch the show and know who Ralph is. He is very much a narcissist. And that's who I married. That's who I chose to love. But at the end of the day, what happened, happened. People have actually witnessed it. The disrespect, so to say, okay, I'm hanging with this woman, and now it's a relationship that just came out of nowhere. There was never any evidence. Where's the receipt? Like, you know, people can say things. Does it make it true? People say things about you? You know, is everything true?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Not everything, but a lot of things.

[Drew Sidora]

How do you balance healing in private when your pain is being monetized on reality tv?

[Morgan]

Honestly, you know, that time that we did not come right back on the show, I was actually grateful because that was the time I took just to self. Like, I spent my. My time alone. You know, I just completely shut down and I did a lot of praying. And like I said, honestly, people may not have understood why I said Dennis was my angel on earth, but really, it was. I was very grateful because it was a blessing at that time to have somewhere to go. A lot of times, like, I didn't want to wake up. I can get out the bed. It's like, you just don't feel productive, like, overwhelmed. Depression is real. So it was just knowing that I have people supporting me, believing in me, and are rooting for me, and I had to show up, you know, for that. And when I got to the studio, it's like, okay, I made it, you know, and then being able to compile all this body of work and have a productive outlet, like I said, it was exactly what I needed to get me to the other side, where I am now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We're still kicking it with Drew Sidora. You know her from the cast of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

[DJ Envy]

Lauren, looking back, because your project is here, the music is here, but looking back on it, you brought up the Dennis angel on earth comment and that the people had conversations about that for a while.

[Morgan]

Oh, I know.

[DJ Envy]

It was crazy grimy.

[Drew Sidora]

I'm not gonna lie.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You look shady. When it first came out out, because it came out that you were working with Porsches.

[Drew Sidora]

Porsches. Dennis.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What other dentist is out here? Yes, Porsche.

[Morgan]

I thought shock for me.

[DJ Envy]

Remember, we had the conversation with Por about this whole thing. Now, this is.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And it was assumed you did it behind Porsche's back without having. Without talking to Portia. But that wasn't true.

[Morgan]

It didn't happen like that. See, there we go. See, we got to talk about it. That's not how it happened. So actually, you know, this is during the time Portia was living her African princess life, you saw it, she was in Dubai, she was in Nigeria. She wasn't checking for her girls. You know, I was calling her. So on the record, I called Portia a bunch of times to tell her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That you were gonna work with Dennis. Yes.

[Morgan]

Like, why wouldn't I? Dennis had been reaching out for years. Like, come be an ambassador for Nya Igles. You know, it was like, no, no, no. But because of what I was going through, this is my selfish season, okay? And the music was good. Cause I was like, dennis, hot dogs music. Like, I was confused like everybody else, right?

[DJ Envy]

I was.

[Morgan]

But when he sent my team to music, it was like, this is really good. Like, I need to do this music. That's how it felt for me. So when I was calling her and I was texting her, I have the receipts. I show them at reunion. I was like, girl, I need to talk to you. Like, it's really, really important. Bunch of text. She wasn't responding to your girl, like, at all. Crickets. So when she did come back and we did talk, we were in the studio, Dennis would be talking to her, and she's like, send me some songs. She's like, oh, this is my favorite song. This is my favorite song. So I'm like, okay, Portia. He told me he had a conversation, so she's cool. We talked two weeks before we started filming. And she was like, yes, girl. I know we're going through our divorces. We need to get together. I love the music. I was like, okay, because, you know, I wanted to make sure, like, we're all family. It's all, yes, girl. I know. Like, it's all good. Let's hang out a week before we film. Oh, sorry I didn't come to your birthday party, girl, but let's turn up tonight. You, me, and Yandy, let's go out. That was the energy. So we go to Shamia's birthday party. That's why I was so flabbergasted.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I was like, you said it was a different story.

[Morgan]

It was like a light switch. It was like, what? But if you notice, when we were at Shamia's party, it was like, I'm mad at you because you're working with Dennis. Then it switched to, well, you're filming with Dennis. And then it was like a go naked thing. So I was not clear on why she was upset and what the real beef was. But as you've seen the season, I just see, you know, the fans are smart. Like, shout out to the fans, because they're seeing like, no, you know, we kind of catching her up in some lies here. That's not actually how it happened. And it's seeming more like deflection because you can't talk about a certain person. So she chose to talk about me, you know? Cause she couldn't. And she said that she couldn't talk about me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You feel like she did it for the cameras.

[Morgan]

You need story, but, I mean, you need to have things going on in your personal life. Like, why is everything about what I got going on?

[Drew Sidora]

It's hard to watch sometimes because you don't know if it's real shade, if it's real smoke or if it's just a story.

[Morgan]

No, everything I do is real. I came on the show in an Achilles rupture boot. Like, I came on the show limping. Like, that's not how I would want to come on. I want to come in with my, like, Louis Vuittons, you know, and be fabulous. And I wanted to show black love and marriage and all the beauty and all that. I didn't want to show this. So everything that I've shown has just been my real life. I've not ever produced anything or tried to give storyline because, like, I've been working since I was 8 years old. I don't need to put on for cameras. That's not me. Some people make like, that's what some people may do. And I feel like in this situation, instead of Portia opening up about, like, her real feelings without talking about that particular person, she didn't need to deflect it and make me her punching bag. I think that was probably the most hurtful part because, like, I'm going through a lot too.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Did y' all have a real conversation? Cause it made you look crazy to the public at first.

[Morgan]

Hey, what up, y' all?

[Charlamagne tha God]

[Caller]

Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast Hell and Gone, I've learned one thing. No town is too small for murder. I'm Katherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders.

I was calling about the murder of my husband. It's a cold case.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They've never found her. And it haunts me to this day.

[Drew Sidora]

The murder is still out there.

[Caller]

Every week on Helen Gone Murder, I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking.

Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother.

[DJ Envy]

She was still somebody's daughter.

[Caller]

She was still somebody's sister.

[DJ Envy]

There's so many questions that we've never.

[Drew Sidora]

Gotten any kind of answers for.

[Caller]

If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Helen Gone murder line at 678-744. Listen to Helen Gone Murderline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Charlamagne tha God]

When she got on there and says, you supposed to be my friend, but you working with my ex. And I had no idea. Did y' all have a conversation after that?

[Morgan]

We did. We had to sit down. It didn't go very well. It didn't go very well.

[DJ Envy]

Which one are you talking about? Cause Grenada.

[Morgan]

No. Well, the sit down, when she walked out, when we were drinking tea, it escalated. So it wasn't really like true resolve, but. But, yeah. No, it's like Portia is not the person, as you have seen, that will communicate. You know, she's gonna get up and walk away. She's going to cover with all of this happiness, like she got it, and that's not real. And I just. I think everyone was anticipating her to come back this season and was excited, but ultimately she couldn't deliver on the story that we thought we were getting. You know, we thought we were getting Ms. Kabadia, and she couldn't bring that.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, so you don't think Portia's been delivering this season what you say, I.

[Morgan]

Mean, that's just what I feel, you know, that's my personal opinion, is that this wasn't a real beef. So then what are we talking about? Like, let's talk about something real. You get, you know, two women together who are strong, who are bosses in their own right, have a conversation. We're not gonna agree on everything, but we don't need to make this the whole thing. We're talking about for the whole season, me and Dennis. Yeah, the whole season. Aren't y' all tired about that?

[Drew Sidora]

That's why I hate reality tv.

[Morgan]

I'm tired of hearing about that.

[Drew Sidora]

That's why, in a lot of ways, I hate reality tv. Cause they will monetize your trauma for pain. Like what you might be going through with your divorce or what Portia might be going. It's just like, damn. And then if they can't get that, they just want to pitch y' all against each other.

[Morgan]

I don't like it.

[Drew Sidora]

What's the point of doing it?

[Morgan]

That's how I feel. Like we're both going through a divorce. We could be talking about that. You know what I mean? And really come. Everything doesn't have to be like, a moment. And I think, you know, you see some girls that come on the show, and it's just like, I need a moment. Let me just say something to go viral or whatever. And it's like, no, just be yourself. And I think that's also how I've been able to be on now for four seasons. And that's just what I've learned, because it's been a lot of cash takeover. Like, I don't even know how I'm still here, because there's been people that are. That were here, been here for a long time and are no longer here. But what I've Learned from the OGs that have poured into me is just be yourself, you know, and the story will tell itself.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So I just want another question. So you're not with her go naked hair line.

[DJ Envy]

I literally was about to ask. So that's not go naked hair.

[Morgan]

This right now?

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

No, this looks good. The hair that I was wearing in the sit down where you saw the bangs. That.

[DJ Envy]

That.

[Morgan]

That's. I wore it in real time because. Because when you put it through a 1, 2 edit, how I made it look, it looked great. But in person, y' all saw it, right? That was go naked there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So are you an ambassador for go naked?

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You're not an ambassador.

[Morgan]

No, I have a great Vendor. She's melted. We're good.

[Drew Sidora]

So you don't, like, go naked hair is what you're saying?

[Morgan]

I mean, it just didn't work for me, per se. When you go to bleach blonde, it. It just. It did something that wasn't right.

[DJ Envy]

Would you have said that prior to all this dentist stuff? Because I thought you were. So it was, like, a good partnership.

[Just Hilarious]

It was.

[DJ Envy]

And in the beginning of the season, you said you thought you were doing numbers for gonna be.

[Morgan]

I did do numbers. I did do numbers. That's why. Well, I just believe, like, as black women, we support each other, right? If you're my girl, I'm gonna support you. We have a great working relationship. It was fun. You know, it was fun to work with her at that time. And if that's your friend, you gonna hold your friend down. But it was just. When all of this started to happen, it just became corny to me, you know? So I'm like, okay, well, now since we're gonna. You're gonna drag me. Well, I'm gonna speak my truth then. Because the truth is, like, I had your back, but if you don't have my back now, it's fair game.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, you were saying. All right, let me be honest about this hair.

[Morgan]

Yeah, be honest.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I would rather go naked than to wear that hair again.

[Drew Sidora]

You think the show would still be interesting if you and Portia weren't beefing? Or is, like, tension just part of the paycheck now?

[Morgan]

I mean, I came on the show. Let me make it clear. Cause I've been an actress since I was literally, like, in grade school, right? So I made a decision. Cause I was like, you know what? People know me from this role. They may not like me from this role or that role or that movie or whatever. I felt going through Covid, it was just an opportunity to be more vulnerable and let the fans really get to know me and see me as a mother and a wife and a friend and a sister. Like, I'm so many other things, and I wanted to show that. And so that was the reason for me joining the show, wasn't to do anything but just hopefully inspire other people going through what I'm dealing with and connect in that way. So it wasn't to show what is happening. Like, that was opposite of what I wanted to represent on this platform. So I've never subscribed to let's do this for a moment. You know, let's do this for storyline. I actually feel like when we used to watch Housewives and when it was nostalgic was because it was a group of women who were really friends. And when you saw them fall out, it was because, I'm fighting you, because I love you, and I know you can be better. You can do so much more. So that was where the beefs came, and then they were able to resolve and move forward. And I feel like here sometimes they just want to, like, kill you, and, you know, they want to just, like, go below the bell. It's like, dang. Like, do you like me or no? Like, what are we building or not? And so that's what I would like to see the show get back to. And I think this season, overall, it was refreshing. It wasn't dark, you know, as some of the fans have said, like, they felt like the show was going dark. So I think we're moving towards a more positive place.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We're still kicking it with Drew Sedora from the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Jess, so you don't say a result, you and this girl at all. You and Portia, you don't at all, because you said you want to see the show. Get back to, you know what? That was what it used to be. Women were able to have their arguments, go through it, talk it out, and then they're cool. You know what I mean? You don't ever see you and Portia, like, you know what? Let's just put all this behind us, because it did get crazy. It did. But. All right, we're women. We both bosses. We like.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you don't see that in certain cases, it's hard to come back from certain things and just putting out falsities, that's, like, damaging to my character, to me as a person. You know, I have kids, so I just feel like the line has been crossed one too many times. However, I feel like, you know, if there's an opportunity to have a real conversation and it may not happen on camera, I don't know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, off.

[Morgan]

Camera, I'm really big on, like, resolution. I'm really big on gaining understanding and, like, moving forward. So if it is an opportunity that presents itself, I would be open to that. But it hasn't happened, and it's. It's a year now. You know, I want to ask some.

[Drew Sidora]

Questions about you, Drew. You've been. You have. You know, you've been in this game since you were a kid. How do you think Hollywood's perception of you has changed, and how has your own perception of yourself changed?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, good.

[Morgan]

Well, you know, I feel like, on the side of, like, the theatrical, you know, TV and film, I'm proud of what I've been able to accomplish, you know, in my career. Sometimes I don't reflect enough and like, wow. You know, I've been able to work with some amazing actors and some amazing projects and tell some amazing stories. But the game is like, that's one project that I just feel like the public perceives me in that way, and I can't shake it. And it's like, what decade has it been? A decade?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I mean, I still see the comments to this day, which is saying, okay, this was obviously something really big and a part of the culture. But I did see a hashtag where it was like, Cancel theDrusadorhate. And I just wanna say, can we do that, please? Like, at the end of the day, this has gone on too long. Derwin lied to Drusadora. Like, did we not all watch the same show?

[DJ Envy]

You feel like they had carried from there?

[Morgan]

Oh, most definitely. Like, I see the comments, I'm like, wow. And I've met people that's like, ooh, I'm mad at you. Cause you broke up med school. And I'm like, you know, Tia was married, right? And, you know, pooch, like, as a whole family. But people were very invested in the show. And I just think that's a perception people have of me, you know, despite all the various roles I've played, which is why I did join the show, to try to change that narrative. And I think for myself, yes, my perception of self is I have so many things I want to do. I want to do Broadway. I want to direct or produce my first film and continue to open the door for other young talent coming up. And so that's where I moving into of my contribution stage in life and wanting to really see others win as well in this business.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think the thing with the game was, right, everybody else had fictional names, but you really went on there as Drew Sedora. Like you. Why was that?

[Morgan]

Shout out to Marv Rocket. Kill.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Shout out to. We just had her up here.

[Morgan]

I love that woman. You know, actually, so the story behind that is I booked Girlfriends. I did an episode of Girlfriends, and when I went on set, she remembered meeting me, coming to my home. Cause my sister Alison has been my manager since I was like, 8 years old. And so she came to the house to meet my sister. My sister was a writer on Amen Rock Martin worked from William Moore's agency. Yeah, like, og, right? And so she came to my sister's house to see if she would share her Rolodex because she was moving to Los Angeles to become a producer. And she's like, drew, when you were eight, you were running around the house talking about, I'm gonna be an actress and a singer. And she's like. And you really, like, stuck with it. And so for that reason, let's talk about some bigger things. So she wrote me in the show the game. So that's how it came to be. And it was really, like, an honor because I'm like, you gotta be like a list, right? To play yourself. So to have the opportunity, I was like, wow. And to showcase my music. I think that was one of the first times that people took notice to me as an actual musical artist.

[DJ Envy]

Well, you got. I did it to me. Your music is out. And I watched. You said that your music was like your healing when you were going through the divorce because you were in such a dark workplace. Yeah. What song on your album was like, when you hear it now, it. You get tearful. It takes you there. It's your favorite.

[Morgan]

It's two. Definitely. I did it to me and love for a minute with Sierra. Shout out to Sierra Gates. She came and gate laid like a eight bar little situation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Russell Wilson. Sierra. Sierra Gates.

[Morgan]

Oh, speaking.

[DJ Envy]

Let me find out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Sierra was rapping.

[Morgan]

She was rapping. A lot of people don't know she came in, but it's a very emotional record. And that was the record that actually Dennis and I were in the studio, and it was, like, really emotional. He was over there crying about Portia, and I was in there having my moment. But it is. It's an emotional record. But I did it to me as very representative of the project. Cause it's about taking accountability. And that's why I love that record. Because I can sit here and share, you know what, you guys. All the things that my ex did right that weren't right. But it gets tiring after a while to keep blaming everything on the other person. So for me, it's like, no, I played a part. You know, there were things I could have done better, if I'm being honest. And so that's what the song is saying. Like, look in the mirror. It's not easy to do, you know, but you gotta sometimes look at yourself and say, okay, yeah, I made a mistake here, there, and I could have been better and then grow from that.

[Drew Sidora]

Do you let him know that?

[DJ Envy]

I have.

[Morgan]

I have actually, we have had conversations, you know, before we go to court. Because when you go to court, that's when everything blows back up. But we've had conversations where we have stated, you know, we understand our differences now. And I can say, well, I could have done this better. And he has said it, you know, and apologize in some areas. And, yeah, like, we're humans, and just being more gentle with ourselves and just forgiving each other doesn't erase everything and every pain that we cause. But, yeah, we can be honest and say, you know, I wasn't of part Harvey. I can say that.

[DJ Envy]

And every time I watch your interviews, you're breaking down every single time. And I'm wondering, like, why put more stuff out there, like Michael B. Jordan? Have you spoke to him since the Carlos King interview?

[Morgan]

Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

That was a big. So in Carlos King's interview, Carlos King asked her who's one of the most, like, famous people she's dated. And she mentioned that she used to date Michael B. Jordan back in the day. And that was everywhere. I'm like, whoa. She just be volunteering the info.

[Morgan]

Well, I get asked a question. I him.

[Drew Sidora]

Did you hit.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Not even a little bit. He asked me on a date to attend the NAACP Awards. It was probably like 2,000, maybe six, when he was, like, still on the soap operas.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And I met his mom and stuff. It was cool. We went out a couple of days. No, there was no, like, intimacy on the record. But still, he was very, very sweet guy. Very, very sweet. And he's been super successful. But, yeah, that's my truth. And it happened.

[Drew Sidora]

It's yours to tell.

[DJ Envy]

It happened.

[Drew Sidora]

You know, this is my last question. With all the healing that you gotten right and what, you know, now if you could go back and whisper something to yourself during the hardest moment of your marriage, what would you say?

[Morgan]

The hardest part of my marriage, I think Ralph moving out of the bedroom, you know, that it felt like abandonment. You know what I mean? It's different to, like, go sleep separately and just. But him making the decision to move out when instead of fighting. Because people don't stay married forever without waking up every day and choosing each other. So when the person wakes up and doesn't choose you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, well, we appreciate you for joining us. It's Drew Sedora. Yes, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Drew Sidora]

Absolutely. We gotta get Portia in the studio. Cause Drew do records. What was the other young lady that was up here? Shamar.

[DJ Envy]

Shamia.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Shamia.

[Drew Sidora]

We gotta get Portia in the studio, man.

[DJ Envy]

She going back to music again.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She did. She did music before floor.

[DJ Envy]

You remember that video?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, I got to show it to you.

[Morgan]

She.

[Drew Sidora]

I have no problem watching the portion video. Pull that up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You never see it. Yeah, we got to see it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'll show it to you on the break. Well, let's get. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody, some detail.

[DJ Envy]

I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody she.

[Drew Sidora]

Be having the latest on. It says stay on the peace. The. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Well, speaking of Portia, Portia Williams and Nene Leakes may be rekindling. The girls might be getting back together. So Portia was on her YouTube channel and she was taking fan questions and they asked her about Nene. Let's take a listen. Portia said that she would be open to reconciliation. Not this one. Would you reconcile with Nene? Listen, I.

[Morgan]

Life is short. That's what I say. Life is short. This year, a lot of the cast.

[DJ Envy]

And me personally have had a lot.

[Morgan]

Of loss in my family.

[DJ Envy]

And so life is short. And so the right situation, the right conversation can absolutely be had.

[Morgan]

I don't think there's anything.

[DJ Envy]

There is this completely to the point.

[Morgan]

To where there couldn't be a conversation.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Now that. Yes, that's a step in the right direction. But then Nene Leakes was on her show, the Nene Leakes show, and she was asked about Portia's comments and you know her response. Let's take a listen to that. Portia said that she would be open to reconciling with you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, of course you would, sweetheart. Cause I never did to you in the first place. When I said what I said about Portia, I say it again. What happened?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, I'm not one of those people who just walk around in my everyday life just lying about stuff, like, it just don't work for me. I said what I said. It was the truth. It really happened. She was going through a divorce with Simon. And I think she said something like, I didn't check on her or something like that. Girl, this ain't your first divorce. Maybe I could have checked on her.

[Drew Sidora]

Jesus.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I honestly didn't even think about it like that. Somebody that maybe missed it once or twice to get them a little grace. Who knows what they were going through that day. Yeah, I don't have a problem with reconciling. With Portia, but I'm gonna tell about herself first, honey. So when do you want to have drinks so we can fix this? Poor. Nothing wrong with that at all.

[Drew Sidora]

It's not like they fit the enjoy. They can feel like they can smooth that on.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly. And for those of you guys who do not remember, they had fell out when Portia was going through her divorce with Simon and she said that Nene didn't check in on her little sis. And Nene had said that Portia didn't want to film with her at one point. And you know, she alleged that, you know, Portia just was distancing herself. And she tried to reach out to Portia and Portia responded with the cold shoulder, not wanting to deal with her anymore. So they've been rocky since then and they've thrown their little blows, but. Good to hear that. But I would love to know if Portia is open to sitting down and having those drinks like immediately and if she's gonna push for Nene to be back on the show.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But these ladies were really never, never friends. Right? I mean, you know what I mean? The show put them together and now they're quote unquote, best friends.

[Lauren LaRosa]

True. You think she sit down with Drew?

[DJ Envy]

No. Push is not sitting down with Drew no time soon. Especially not at the interview we just had with Drew.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And Shamia made it seem like they were a force fit. But other than those two, they're not really friend friends.

[Drew Sidora]

Nene made me think though, are all divorce is different cuz she said that this ain't your first time being divorced. So if you are like, let's say you're friends with Kim Kardashian, right? Kim Kardashian has been divorced like what, four times?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

So she gets married again and gets divorced again. Do you check on it? Is that is kind of a point, right? Like you've been through this before.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You been down this road already. Yeah.

[Drew Sidora]

Do you? I don't know. Are all divorces different? I've never been.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't. I don't want to know.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, I would say so, yeah, probably so. Depending on the circumstances and stuff like that. And these. Oh, I was going to say no, it's my segment. I'm going to talk.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Talk. Speak up.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you.

[Drew Sidora]

We don't want to hear nothing from Lauren about our relationships. We haven't gone down that road in a while, but nothing has changed. I just. That's all I'm saying. That's the only reason I was like.

[DJ Envy]

I was going to Say, as an avid housewife watcher.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Because you don't even know Shamia's name, so you should. As an avid housewife watcher, we watched the different divorces, and I think this one, even though they're all public, it was a really big deal because it came out of nowhere. She was all happy, and then the next day, it was just over.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But again, that affected trying to deport him, right?

[DJ Envy]

I mean, yeah, but I got him. She stepped away before that. And then Simon.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, I'm like, damn, they just deporting all types of people on that show. What is that, Real Housewives of?

[DJ Envy]

Well, Portia, call us. Let me know if this reunion is happening or not, because, yeah, we need to know what's going on. But moving on. Speaking of the girls getting together, Glorilla has announced a release date for her sample of Keisha Cole's love. She says that's my type of N word is going to be coming this Friday. She already has a pre.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Tomorrow?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, tomorrow Friday. The pre save link is already in her bio. And this is the song that she's been kind of teasing since Coachella.

[Drew Sidora]

I'll be going miss, you hear me? Wow. Okay. Splash system with the shot. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

And Keisha singing.

[Drew Sidora]

How's your Gotti?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Singing a sample.

[DJ Envy]

She Sample love. And I think those are her vocals over it maybe. I don't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Singing that sounded like K. Can we hear it again? This is slowed down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They just. Yeah, they just changed the pitch.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, what else you got?

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna just say that Keisha Cole actually told us exclusively here that that was going down. When she came here to talk, she told us that she cleared it. Oh, yes, yes. So now we will see that Friday. I'm looking forward to it. That's it for the hours.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, well, we'll see you next hour. What?

[DJ Envy]

We gotta be quiet.

[Drew Sidora]

Did you find out that the clips were never signed to Def Jams?

[DJ Envy]

Did you get out the mic? It's a new day. God has granted another 24 hours. We gonna focus.

[Drew Sidora]

Okay? This morning make the show. All right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She almost said, get off my de. You know.

[DJ Envy]

I remember. I collected and gathered myself.

[Drew Sidora]

I just know they was texting you a lot after the.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't get a text. I didn't.

[Drew Sidora]

All right, Cap.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, well, Don is a trusted source.

[Drew Sidora]

And people trust her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

Sources trust her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

In order to be a trusted source, sources must trust you.

[DJ Envy]

I know that ate you up. Say that again everywhere. Please come wipe down that mic.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Who you giving your dog or two, man?

[Drew Sidora]

Linda McMahon, education secretary, needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her, please.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, we'll get to that next. And also, Jess Fix My Mess. If you need relationship problems, if you need some advice, you can call Jess right now. 800-58-5-1051. Jess fix my mess is coming up in a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Drew Sidora]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club. This is AmeriCool.

[Morgan]

There is no question that they're all are problems in this country between police and community.

[Drew Sidora]

Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man.

[Caller]

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

[Drew Sidora]

And yesterday was a really bad day.

[Charlamagne tha God]

For him, and this is what he did.

[DJ Envy]

And so we are in a state of emergency.

[Drew Sidora]

Okay? White supremacist violence is. It always has been, the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. Breakfast Club, bitches.

[Morgan]

All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day?

[Drew Sidora]

Well, donkey of the day for Thursday, June 5, goes to Education Secretary Linda McMahon. Yes, Linda McMahon, former CEO of WWE, is the United States Secretary of Education. What is this, Secretary of Education? Well, the Secretary is responsible for the overall direction, supervision and coordination of all activities of the Department of Education. And she is the principal advisor to the President. President. On federal policies, programs, and activities related to education in America. Now, what qualifications does Linda McMahon have to be in this role? Some would say that her qualifications are thinner than my hairline. Okay. She has had two years on Connecticut State Board of Education, many years on the board of Trustees of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, and two years as chief of the U.S. small Business Administration. And she's run two unsuccessful campaigns for U.S. senator. And during that campaign, she proved that she didn't know much about government. So when she got the role of Secretary of Education, plenty people knew she wouldn't be mistaken for a great educator. So what ended up getting her the job as Education Secretary? Well, her one main qualification was she was caked up. Oh, she had that bread. She made a lot of money by being the CEO of WWE. She was married to Vince McMahon for 58 years. So, you know, having that kind of money. Money got her close to people like Donald Trump. And now Trump is president. So he said, hey, Linda, come run this department. Then I'm talking about shutting down our dismantling. Now, I had to give you a little backstory on Linda, so you Understand why she is getting donkey of the day today. Okay. In a recent Senate hearing, Linda McMahon was tasked with defending the Trump administration's 2026 education budget. Now, keep in mind, like a lot of people in Trump's administration, folks have said, Linda is not qualified for the role she is in. Okay. People have said she's out of her depth and ill informed about the Department of Education, the department she is currently leading. Well, this Senate hearing didn't help. Okay. It was a lot of math mishaps and historical hiccups. Would you like to hear it? Let's start with some of the math mishaps first.

[Morgan]

Secretary McMahon, of course, testified before the Senate today, and Republican senators kind of did their level best to lob her softball questions and make it look like she kind of knows what she's doing.

[Drew Sidora]

What was we ranked nationally in math.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And reading in 1979?

[Morgan]

We were very, very low on the totem pole. We're number one in 1979.

[Drew Sidora]

Jesus.

[Morgan]

We were very, very low on the totem pole. Actually, we were number one. Very awkward. That's the Secretary of Education, everyone.

[Drew Sidora]

Simple question. You were asked where we were ranked in math in 1979. We were number one. That's not hard to understand. Understand. Okay. All right, let's stay on the math. There was a math problem in there, Right? Let's listen. We spend $1.858 billion a year on trio.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

That's 15 $80 million a year. So my math. Right?

[Morgan]

I think that's right, sir.

[Drew Sidora]

And how long have we been spending fifteen eighty million dollars a year on this problem? More than ten years.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Morgan]

So that's over a trillion dollars. Okay. I understand that we was not ranked number one in math recently either, but something there seems off. Right. Don't have to be a mathematician. Maybe there's a Democrat on this committee who can help them out a little bit. Madam Secretary, and I'm not a great.

[Drew Sidora]

Mathematician, but I think you were talking.

[Charlamagne tha God]

About a trillion dollars.

[Drew Sidora]

I believe 1.5 billion times 10 is $15 billion. That's a little bit off from a.

[Morgan]

Trillion dollars, but I think the budget cuts. 1.2 billion.

[Drew Sidora]

Well, 1.2. That would be $12 billion, not a trillion dollars.

[Morgan]

Okay. Hey, what up, y' all?

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's DJ Envy. The first few months of 2025 have been quite a year. Work deadlines, group chats you can't escape, and your weird cousin's latest overshare. It's a little lot.

[Caller]

Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast Hell and Gone hello, I've learned one thing. No town is too small for murder. I'm Katherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders.

[Morgan]

I was calling about the murder of my husband.

[Caller]

It's a cold case.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They've never found her, and it haunts.

[Drew Sidora]

Me to this day. The murderer is still out there.

[Caller]

Every week on Helen Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking.

Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother.

[DJ Envy]

She was still somebody's daughter.

[Caller]

She was still somebody's sister.

[DJ Envy]

There's so many questions that we've never.

[Drew Sidora]

Gotten any kind of answers for.

[Caller]

If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Helen Gone murder line at 678-744-6145. Listen to Helen Gone Murderline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Drew Sidora]

Jesus Christ. Can we do some historical hiccups while we're here? Let's do some historical hiccups.

[DJ Envy]

Do you know what the Tulsa Race massacre is?

[Morgan]

I'd like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so I look forward to that. How about the book Through My Eyes by Ruby Bridges, for instance?

[Drew Sidora]

I haven't read that.

[DJ Envy]

Have you learned about Ruby Bridges?

[Morgan]

If you have specific examples you like.

[DJ Envy]

That was a specific example.

[Morgan]

I'll be very happy.

[DJ Envy]

It was an incredibly specific example.

[Drew Sidora]

Your questions and I will look into it and get back to you Lord have mercy. What about when she was questioned about DEI programs? That's the Holocaust one.

[Morgan]

Do you think that Holocaust education in our schools is a DEI program? There's no card for that. That's just yes or no. I can look at whatever card. Holocaust education, is it a dei? You can have a press conference to say whatever you want. I just need a quick answer to this soliloquy.

[DJ Envy]

Is Holocaust?

[Morgan]

Because this is my time. Is Holocaust education a DEI program?

[Drew Sidora]

No.

[Morgan]

Is African American Studies a DEI program? I think I answered that with one. I'm asking it again. Just yes or no. Be able to teach course. My point is they are DEI programs, both of them, because students need diversity, equity, and inclusion to understand their environment. Environments. You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You can't support one without supporting the other.

[Drew Sidora]

Now, I'm not the highest grade weed in the dispensary, but it's safe to say she has no idea what she's talking about, okay? And she's the Secretary of Education. These aren't isolated incidents, ladies and gentlemen. Linda McMahon has previously referred to artificial intelligence as A1, okay? A1 is a delicious steak sauce, okay? Not AI. All right? And listen, one thing the Trump administration has made not done yet in its second term is prove people wrong, okay? Linda McMahon is not qualified to be Department of Education. But we knew this soon as it was announced, okay? I don't understand the attack on dei. The basis. Basis of it is people aren't qualified for their jobs. They're just getting them because of their identity. Hello. What's the difference here? Okay? Linda got this job because she's friends with Donald Trump. If you identify as a loyalist, you Trump, you get these kinds of positions. So what I really hate is when people say things like, this Senate hearing is casting doubt on her ability to lead the Department of Education. Effectively casting doubt. Listen, having Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, that's like giving DJ Akademiks two bottles of Hennessy and asking him to run a quiet meditation retreat. Okay? Okay, Linda, you can't go in front of the Senate and get put in a crippler crossface by Basic Math, okay? Linda can script the Undertaker Coming Back from the Dead, but can't script a coherent answer to how numbers work. I'm not saying everybody in government needs to be a genius, but if you're going to run education, you should probably know how to count and maybe, just maybe, understand a little bit of America's history. I know that Linda McMahon being Secretary of Education is fantastic content for late night talk show hosts and more morning show radio host with America. The implications for the nation's education system are no laughing matter. Okay, perhaps it's time to consider whether the role of Education Secretary should require, at the very least, a firm grasp on elementary math. Please let Chelsea Handler give the Secretary of education, Linda McMahon, the biggest HEE haw.

[DJ Envy]

Hee haw.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hee haw.

[Drew Sidora]

That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. All right, first it was the head of FEMA not knowing that America had a hurricane season. Now it's Linda McMahon not knowing basic man math and what should be basic history.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That lady was on her ass, though.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What?

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, no. They was eating her up. They was eating her up. Representative Johanna Hayes and Representative Summer Lee. Oh, they was on her head.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She tried to hit him with the. I don't recall. I have to do some research to get back at you, baby.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm asking again. Don't say it again.

[Drew Sidora]

But they were just proving a point. They were just spiking the football. They know that woman is not qualified to be in that role. They were just proving it in that moment. Again. Again.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, Jess, fix my mess. 800-585-1051. You're having some problems, some issues in your relationship. Call Jess right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Morgan]

Sorry. Oh, hi. I'm calling from Buffalo, New York. I. I'm in love with two dudes. I've been with one dude for five years. Real toxic. Then I got with somebody else for six months and.

[Caller]

And the dude, the dude I've been.

[Morgan]

Wanting for six months, he be treating me, like, way better than, you know, the ex, but I'm still, like, locked in with my ex. And it's just I've been balancing both for the past two weeks, and I really don't know what to do.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You got to leave one alone, Especially the toxicity. I mean, is one. Is sex better with one than the other?

[Morgan]

Yes, the X way better.

[Caller]

And Bigger than the one that's short and stumpy. But, I mean, God damn.

[Drew Sidora]

Jesus Christ.

[Morgan]

If I was being honest, you know.

[Caller]

I got to do extra work with the new one, but damn.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, but. But it. Is the toxicity worth the good D. I mean, like, you gotta choose. You gotta choose the one.

[Morgan]

I mean, it's really not. Because my ex. The reason why me and my ex broke up the last time he sent me a video of him having sex with another girl, like, to get me mad. But to be honest, he didn't really. Huh.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He's a clown. He's a clown for that. That's not. That's. You can't do that.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So you gotta leave him alone. Do y' all got kids together?

[Morgan]

No, no, no, we don't.

[DJ Envy]

I've been getting.

[Morgan]

Do my thing, you know, have fun. Get three, four more. The summer traffic. My bad.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, listen. Leave him alone. But if it. But listen, if. If you like both. If this is the life that you want for yourself, by all means. But you called me, so I'm letting you know. Leave.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I just didn't want. You know, when he sent me that video, you know, some girls could have got traumatized. And what I did was, you know, when I was. You're not gonna scare me for not. Yeah, I watched it in full detail. I watched from first to end, like.

[Caller]

Oh, so this is what she was doing.

[Morgan]

Let me get that out.

[Caller]

Some girls could have cried and, you.

[Morgan]

Know, really been down about that. But I turned myself around, turn my phone upside down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Look, I love it. You don't need your mat fixed.

[Morgan]

You good.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Keep living your life alone.

[Morgan]

I can't wait to see you at the Helium Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I love you. I'mma see you later on. All right.

[Drew Sidora]

She should have just replied back, thank you. You then. And if you're gonna do that, why not get your little threesome thing on? You know?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly.

[Morgan]

She seemed to let us.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She loved this.

[Drew Sidora]

What was it? Sex. What Biggie say, sexing me while your man masturbates. And then did he go. You know what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

They the only type of lyrics you quote you with Glee. Like you.

[Drew Sidora]

Because it made sense in that context.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's why we have Daryl on the line. Darryl, good morning.

[Caller]

Good morning. Morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What's your question for Jess? Take us off Bluetooth for speak if you have us on there.

[Caller]

All right, I pick you off. My question is, I currently have a girlfriend, but I got two other girls, and one of them is pregnant, but they don't know about the Main girl. I'm trying to figure out what to do because the two girls don't like each other.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So you messing.

[Drew Sidora]

One of them is pregnant.

[Caller]

I can't have all three.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Listen. Yeah. So you messing with three girls. One is pregnant and the other two. And only two of them know about each other.

[Drew Sidora]

Other.

[Caller]

Only one of them do. But the two girls that know about each other hate each other.

We were talking for a little minute and then we. I met somebody else. But then I end up dating this actual person. The next person I met, the. The person that I was, I met at. The guy that I met at the truck stop. He told me he wanted to still stick around as my friend. Me believing it, I be trying to be cool about it. I. I left 50. So I kept him around as a friend. I decided to not talk to him anymore. He calls my current situation and tells them that I've. We've been him and messing around the whole time and he just kind of throwing a whole little monkey wrench in with my current situation. So now I'm getting all my current situation. No, it wasn't. I was.

[Caller]

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Caller]

So when my. My current situation hit me, he said, oh, how he know all this? But it's only because I confided to him as a friend. So I don't know how to handle the situation because now he don't believe in my current situation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right, right. But you. But when you got. When you secure the relationship with the current situation, did you tell him about the other guy? You never told him about him. You did?

[Caller]

I did. I. I told. I told him about the other guy. I told him that me and him was. Was serious. We was going on trips and stuff together and everything. So he's watching the post to Instagram, posting everything.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Lauren becoming a straight F. She gets.

[Drew Sidora]

Them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.

[DJ Envy]

I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

[Drew Sidora]

She be having the latest on the be the. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh. It's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

Yesterday, Brandon Hayman, who played Ahmad in Soul Food, posted a photo of him and Big Mama, and the photo went viral. He was celebrating her birthday. She turned 90 years old.

[Drew Sidora]

What a blessing.

[DJ Envy]

What a blessing. And in the caption of the photo, he mentioned that he is doing a basically a documentary to get the cast back together. So in the original movie of Soul Food, you know, the whole thing is, is that Ahmad is trying to bring the family back together and for one last Sunday dinner. And that is what he's doing right now, the documentary. I actually spoke to Brand and he tells me that the documentary is going to be exact executive produced by Vivica A. Fox. George Titleman Jr. Who was actually one of the writers and director of the original Soul Food. I'm sorry, George Tillman Jr. And Bob title, who is a producer from Soul Food that is also George's partner. And they've been working on this documentary since 2000 or 2023. Irma Hall, Big Mama. Ms. Irma hall is in the doc. So is Viva K. Fox, who played Maxine. Michael B, who played Miles, Jeffrey Sands. They have a commitment from the entire cast to be a part of this doc.

[Drew Sidora]

So that'd be Nia Long, Makai, FIFA, Vanessa Williams.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Now, you was telling me something about the young boy behind the scenes. How come we didn't see him as much as we think we should have? Because he was a huge actor at the time, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. He done Soul Food Minister, Society Waiting to Excel, Space Jam. And then he kind of just like fell off the end of the earth. And a lot of people have been asking for years.

[Drew Sidora]

Christ, God damn.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He was.

[DJ Envy]

I spoke to him. These are his words, not mine. His words, not mine. He literally. This is. This is the premise of the documentary. A big part of it is people feel like he just went missing.

[Just Hilarious]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

And they don't know why. And it's because he actually was dealing with a very serious illness. So he has a autoimmune disease, it's a very rare one called Castleman's disease.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

So this disease, it affects his lymph nodes and his, like, upper airways in his chest. And he said that he had tried to still act because it was going so well for him. He was so good at it. But an agent at the time told him that people don't want to see sick kids on tv. So he took a step back to just try and. Yeah, to just try and figure some things out. But he wants this documentary to not only be a celebration of the cast and the movie and what it did for storytelling, especially in Chicago, but he also wants to tell his story, too, about what he struggled with behind the scenes. Yeah. Because he couldn't act. And he said also today he had a few near death experiences that he never could talk about because he always thought if he could get back to screen, he didn't want that to be the story. But now he's bringing it to the screen with that help of his cast and his family from Soul Food.

[Drew Sidora]

So all those rewatchable shows, when you listen to them on podcast, those rewatchable documentaries, they're great. Like the way are they now shows? Incredible. Because you remember the nostalgia you felt when you first watched those films back in the day. You know, are those TV shows?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's crazy. They ain't want to see sick kids on tv. We don't mind that. That's everybody's welcome.

[Drew Sidora]

Well, we wouldn't know they sick unless they told us, Right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And that was his thing is like, he just thought he could get under control and not have to tell us and then come back to tv. But it was such a thing that he, you know, he. He's been doing other things and just doing things as he can. But right now with this doc, he's actually trying to raise $100,000 for the complete doc. And if you want to support, you can follow them at sundaydinner Doc. And they are raising the money via indiegogo. Yes. Now, in other news, we have some congratulations to CYN because One of them Days is getting a sequel. Now, this is the movie with Sza and Keke Palmer that came from producer, producer Issa Rae.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. So she posted that video and people were upset. They were upset because she was in her bed with her man and they were talking about a few things. Let's take a listen to the original video. Video showed y' all how my day started.

[Morgan]

How my mother's Day started. And now I'mma tell you about. I'm not going to show you. I'm going to tell you about how my Mother's Day is going to end. Ain't that right, man?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, I wish.

[Caller]

You hurry up, too.

[Morgan]

First of all, we got our let's spin. Because let's spin just came out in.

[DJ Envy]

This cute little travel size. And so since we're in Canned friends.

[Morgan]

I travel with it for the first time. Time. And we're about to give it a spin.

[Drew Sidora]

You about to can with Van. How you mad? Because she.

[DJ Envy]

People were upset because she was talking openly about sex. They're saying, should she be talking about this on Mother's Day? Shouldn't she be with her kids somewhere? There were a lot of things.

[Drew Sidora]

She's in bed with her man, promoting her problem.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Huh?

[Lauren LaRosa]

How do you bring her kids That's a good question.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't think Haley got kids.

[DJ Envy]

I had to scare a Google AI.

[Morgan]

But she ain't got no kids.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I'm not for sure sure if her guy, if her. Her man has kids that they. Yeah. Even if. So she made a good point in her response. Let's take a listen to her response. Well, speaking of motherhood, on Mother's Day, you created a little stir.

[Morgan]

So there was a reaction which even.

[DJ Envy]

Caught you a little bit off guard.

[Morgan]

Maybe it did because women, other women got in their feelings. And was it right for her to be in her bed talking about spinning with her man? Yeah.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Morgan]

And they were saying, and should she be talking about that on Mother's Day? Shouldn't she be with her kids somewhere? First of all, it's not Kids Day. It's called Mother's Day.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, it is.

[Morgan]

Kids Day is.

[DJ Envy]

Every day of the year is Kids Day.

[Morgan]

That's my day. And if I wanna be in bed and spin with my man, then that's what I'm gonna do.

[DJ Envy]

And to answer your question, Halle Berry does have kids. She's been a mom since 2008, per People magazine.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So she has two kids?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, she has two kids. But, yeah, she was promoting her product, and she's been promoting this product forever. It didn't come out in a nowhere.

[Drew Sidora]

It's ky, right? Or something like that. Some type of lubricant.

[DJ Envy]

It's a lubricant, but it's not. It's not called ky.

[Drew Sidora]

I mean, I know it's not called ky, but.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but yes, it's basically that. And remember we were talking about the whole, like, menopause, and she was talking about, like, after menopause, things dry up a little bit and that she's been having these conversations. So it was promotion and she's happy. And I don't understand why people think.

[Drew Sidora]

She'S too grown for that. They think she's too mature for that. What do they think Halle Berry shouldn't be doing that? Like, what is it? I'm trying to figure out what's the commotion here?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I think people are stupid. I mean, she has two kids. It's Mother's Day. She's could do Mother's Day how she wants to do Mother's Day. And a lot of times, you know what mother say? You know what? I spend all my time with my kids. I want to date for myself for Mother's Day, and that's fine.

[DJ Envy]

I thought that's what kind of like, what happens anyway for everybody I'm so mad.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I didn't know that. That she had kids.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, two kids. I didn't even know that either.
