We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news now. Morgan is on vacation. Bri Wood is filling in. Good morning, Bri. Bri. Hey. Good morning. Envy, Charlemagne. The God and just hilarious. How are you guys? Happy Friday. Thank you. Happy Friday. Less black and highly favored. Awesome. Here's what's trending in the news this morning for you. So Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he will vote to advance the GOP's six month funding that passed the House in order to stop a government shutdown tonight. So let's take a listen to some of his commentary on that decision. There is nobody in the world, nobody who wants to shut the government down more than Donald Trump and more than Elon Musk. While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. Now, Schumer said in a floor speech that there are no winners in a government shutdown, adding that the bill is a terrible option, but that he beliefs allowing Trump to take more power through a shutdown is a far worse option. So the comments from the Senate Minority Leader are a contrast from ones that were made just a day earlier when he said that Democrats would not let it pass. And so if the Senate passes the bill, it would then, of course, go to President Trump's desk for a signature. What do you guys think about that? I mean, you know, per usual, the party of inaction, the Democrats have failed to protect the interests of the American people. And you know why? You know, Dems suck at messaging because they never talking about nothing, they do nothing. So guess what? To me, they all got to go like, like, Dems don't just have a messaging problem, they got a leadership problem. The Chuck Schumers of the world, the Hakeem Jeffries, they should all st. Step down. And any Dem who isn't fighting for the people and standing with the party should be primary. Like, how can you say the, the, the, the, the bill sucks, but you passing it anyway, like, you're not going to even try to, you know, present something different, try to negotiate. Nothing, just. It sucks. But we're gonna pass it anyway. Yeah, that's been the commentary, basically. I think A lot of the world agrees with you on that because it's just, it just seems as though the Democrats can't come together on anything so. Ever. Yeah. Nothing at all? No. What's the point of voting for them? Literally? Well, all right. Well, a federal judge has ordered some fire federal employees to be reinstated. Now a California federal judge is demanding that the Trump administration rehire some fired federal employees. U.S. district Judge William Alsupp found the firing of probationary employees from six federal agencies last month to be unlawful. He said the Office of Personnel Management and its acting director did not have the authority to Issue the directive to fire the workers. The agency includes the Department of Veterans Affairs, Agricultural, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury. So the judge said it is a sad day when our government would fire some good employees and say it was based on performance, when they know good and well that's a lie. So the Justice Department indicated that it will appeal this ruling to the 9th U.S. circuit Court of Appeals. Well, salute to that man. What's that judge name again? His name is Judge William Alsip. Drop one includes bonds with Judge William. That's a man that cares about people. Now, he spit on business with that one. That's right. And we have a story on Trump threatening a 200 tariff on European Union alcohol products. Now, President Trump. Yes. The liquor. He says that he will implement a 200% tariff on all alcoholic products from the European Union. In a post on Truth Social, he said that it would be in response to the 50% tariff on whiskey implemented by the EU. And we have some commentary from the president during a recent White House press briefing on the US regaining its wealth. Let's take a listen. April 2nd is going to be a very big day for the United States of America. The United States of America is going to take back a lot of what was stolen from it by other countries and by, frankly, incompetent US Leadership. Grossly incompetent. Well, the president said the union was created, quote, for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the U.S. he added that the tariff will be great for champagne and wine businesses across the country. It all comes after both the EU and Canada responded with tariffs of their own after President Trump placed a 25 tariff on steel and aluminum imports. So, you know, the, you. The US Is the world's largest importer of wine and champagne, and we imported nearly $4.9 billion worth of wine each year. So that's a big deal. I haven't had a drink since before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Anyway, I think that's Sunday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. So. Because I got two drinks, do you think that will affect. Yeah, that will affect how often people drink. If they gotta pay that much. Yes, they're gonna drink cheaper. That's all. Way to get drunk. This is gonna be cheap stuff. Yeah. Inevitable. Yeah. They're gonna find the cheapest option. I know that much. Yeah, right. That's right. Well, that's your front page news. I'm Bri Wood. And coming up next hour, we'll talk about New York's Governor Kathy Hochul. When you're in neck of the woods. She's headed to the White House this morning to meet with the president about New York's sanctuary city status. All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again, 800-585-1051. Stop yawning, Jess. Yeah. All right. Breakfast Club, wake up, wake up, Wake your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this? Hey, this is. So how y'all doing? Good morning. What's up, Zoe? I got a question for you. Yes, sir. Oh, no. Good morning. By the way, brother Peace. I see me speaking a lot about Democrats and how they, like, they not putting into action the stuff that you want them to put into, but I be feeling like the Democrats don't step up on a lot of stuff because they. They being, like, people being their pockets. You feel what I'm saying? Like, a lot of. A lot of other entities or what be paying for stuff, so they can't speak up and be themselves or represent what they want to represent, like, on the bills and stuff. Oh, I agree with you. 100. Like, you know, we. We. They. Everybody talking about Elon Musk and, you know, the oligarchy, like, all of a sudden, they want to have these conversations as if that hasn't been happening forever in politics. So y'all think everybody got some money in their pocket? For the most part. I think a big part of the reason, like, Trump was able to come in and change the stuff that he changed. Like, he. He backs a big part of his own campaign, you know what I'm saying? Like, he didn't have to take money from a lot of people, so he didn't have those restrictions on, okay, I'm gonna back you, but don't do this. Or, you know what I'm saying, like, I'll give you this 100 mil, but don't pass this bill. Like, he got his own money, so he kind of get to do what he. What he stepped forward to do. Well, no, not in this case. You know, I mean, Elon Musk donated over a couple hundred million dollars. You know, you clearly. You clearly see how he's running the tables right now. No, I. I understand. I understand that. What I'm saying is those. Those other people, whether it be pharmaceutical companies or, you know how the politics thing is. Like, it's always somebody who has a big. Yeah. Like, it's always somebody in the background who got an ulterior motive. And the representatives can't do what they're really supposed to do. They're beholden the corporate interest because they're beholding the corporate dollars. Thank you. Hello? Who's this? Hey, good morning. This is. This is Eddie. Eddie, what's up?

Seriously. People get the money and do all typ with it. You know what I'm saying? What you mean? She was flexing what she was doing. She had the money on her shoulder flexing at the little Ballora release or whatever. It was just being ghetto and ignorant. Just like this. What? People gave their hard order money for the mother of the child that got killed too. That was her? Yeah. The baby mama? Yeah. God damn. I was ready to say maybe she was doing that in remembrance of him. Is that something that he would have done or something like that? Yeah, that he used to do or something? Yeah, good point. Oh, no. I just seen him smoking weed on there. I ain't seen no money. Oh, okay. You saw him smoking weed? Not before. Before, yeah. On the Internet. Yeah, man, you gotta know, man, that's why we don't take them Gofundme. Seriously, man. People be. Yeah. Be reluctant on giving their hard earned money up. Cause people be playing. That's true. All right, brother. Well, thank you for calling. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to venture, hit us up. We got the latest with Lauren coming. Yes, we do. Diddy is we back here with Diddy. He's now alleging that CNN destroyed that original video, the Cassie video. So that might have some. That might make some changes in court, but we'll talk about it. All right, we'll get to that. Next, 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 becoming a straight fact. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on the bees, the Lord. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Who is the latest on the Breakfast Club? LL Cool Bay. Yes. So Diddy. Diddy and CNN are going at it right now. Diddy's legal team is claiming that CN altered the video that. That Cassie video that came out of him beating Cassie in the hotel. The 2016 video, they're saying that it was altered, that CNN put it through this like free editing app and they sped it up so that the. The events that we saw happened faster than how they happened in real Time. Why did that matter? Does that change anything? So this is the only thing that it can change normally in a court, anything that's altered, video wise, a court is not going to allow a jury to watch that because they don't know like how far, like they don't know how far the edits may have went. They can't determine what was there, what wasn't there, whatever. Right. So that would basically mean if this video doesn't make it into the court, the jury won't see it. But I mean, how do we know that those jurors hasn't seen it online? This feels like old school lawyers trying to navigate their way through a whole new world because they're going to be hard pressed to find a juror who hasn't seen that video. So they can keep that video out of the court, but they can't keep it out of people's minds. Exactly. The thing about that is, is what it probably strikes is the fact that if they say it's altered, part of the reason, I don't even think it matters anymore, but part of the reason that they said they didn't give him bail was because of that video. So if that video is no longer being able to be used, he could probably have bail and he could probably get in some of those other things. That was the reason why he couldn't get bail and some of those other things before. Yeah, but people, you already saw the video. It's in your mind. If your mind state is, hey, the jurors, but even legally from the judge, but even with the judges, like if your mindset is I can't give him, I don't want to give him bail because he might be violent. You already saw the video. And then if you remember with the bail conversation, remember they also had like the phone records of him like reaching out, allegedly like reaching out to the, the different witnesses. Like there was other things outside of the video that they could lean in on too, as well. So I mean, I feel like even if this video is, at first I was like, well, maybe that video being taken away can help him because of the Bell situation. And I was like, nah, you saw what you saw. Yeah, but also they said if it's altered and they said CNN destroyed the original. Yeah, that doesn't seem strange at all. Well, okay, why would you destroy it? CNN is claiming that they never destroyed anything. Cnn, it says CNN never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage which was retained by the source. CNN aired the store. And they also Say this. They're making it clear that they aired this video months before Diddy was even locked up or a federal indictment was announced. Because Diddy's team is also saying, like, y'all altered this, and y'all got rid of this original footage when y'all knew that there was an ongoing federal case and y'all reported about it, but they dropped this. And then Diddy did his video apologizing. Diddy probably mad they didn't destroy the whole thing. Why? I destroyed the whole video. That's the only thing that could help him in a situation like this. Also, if you're trying to keep jurors from seeing this video, all this does is bring more attention to the video. Because if I'm a potential juror and I see these headlines, I'm gonna go see what hell video they talking about if I've never seen it. Yeah, that's. That's true. And then they also are going back and forth right now, because speaking of jurors, they're trying to do. They're trying to get the. The prosecutors are like, yo, let's take this to court right now. Like, let's have a jury seated, like, in the next, like, months. Diddy's team is like, nah, we need until, like, April to go back through discovery and figure some things out. And your. And Diddy's team wants to sit down. They want to sequester jurors. They want to give them questionnaires. They want to. I think what they really want to do is with this video, they want to make basically see how much these jurors have seen online. And they're not gonna. They're gonna. They're gonna want to pick the people who don't really know nothing about nothing, which is going to be hard. But he's not being charged for that video. He's being charged for totally. Something totally different. That video, like Charlemagne said, really shouldn't matter. Not meaning if they. Meaning if they. Meaning if they've seen it or not. It really shouldn't matter, because he's not being charged with that video. He's not. That. That would have been a state issue in the. The. The. The time limit for them to prosecute that has already passed, but you've seen it, and he looks like a monster in that video. So it's going to be hard to say, this man learned his lesson. Let him free. Don't charge him with all this stuff. He didn't do any of this stuff, if that's. You know what I mean? Like. Like, I said they can keep the video out of court, but they can't keep it out of mind. Not just the video, the baby oil and every other crazy ass story that you've heard over the last few months. Like you done heard some wild Diddy stories. We have. We definitely have. We definitely have heard some wild ditty stories. Well, that, that's the update. I think yesterday when that broke, people was like, wait, what? But CNN is coming out swinging like, yo, we don't know what y'all talking about. That is not true. And, and that video copy was the only copy. The Intercontinental where that video was recorded is no longer open and it's been confirmed that that was the only copy of the video. So we'll have to see what happens from here. But in other news, yesterday we talked about Tiana Taylor and Iman Shumpert and we did get some updates. I told you guys that we were going to try and figure this out, so I just wanted to put this update out here. So yesterday, Nikki Taylor, who is Tiana Taylor's mom and manager, spoke out. She said it's awful strange that the case is sealed from a divorce that was finalized in on July 1, 2024. But all of this information as to what she allegedly got is public this week. What about what the other party received? Let's be crystal clear. Both parties walked away with properties, vehicles and business that they obtained separately. Now, I also had someone point out to me that there was, there was a story that Jasmine Brandt actually broke about this. This was broke months ago about the, the money and all that stuff. And it does mention what Iman received. And he was able to like, he left the situation like his condo in Miami. He also was able to keep ownership of his own businesses.

He doesn't love you enough. Because if he loved you, he'd be faithful. It's going to be an exciting year, and I hope that you can join me listen to Cheekies and Chill Season four as part of the My Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Mark Seale. And I'm Nathan King. This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli. The five families did not want us to shoot that picture. Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli is based on my co host Mark's best selling book of the same title. And on this show we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish. This is really the first interview I've done in bed. We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much. Many of them conflicting. That's nonsense. There were 60 pages and try to get to the truth of what really happened. And they said, we're finished. This is over. It only stopped going to work. Try to get rid of those guys. It's just that Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Kahn, Talia Shire and many others. Yes, that was a real horse's head. Listen and subscribe to Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts as well too. So it kind of seems like they both walked away with what they came in with. And then, you know, prenuptial situation. Yeah. Then the child support stuff happens and the school stuff happens or whatever. So yeah, they wanted to make it. Make it crystal clear like this was a fair situation. But why did that story drop yesterday? If this was something that was done last July, why did it come out yesterday of everything? And why was only one side? I guess that's the question. No, because of the latest with Laura. No, no, no. That. That thing was. Had its legs before we brought it here. We're clarifying. But it had legs. I can't answer that question, Envy. But, you know, I can't answer that. But that is, that is one of the questions that Ms. Nikki is asking as well too. It's like, well, why all of a sudden is this so big? Why is it happening? Why is it moving? That's the way the Internet works, though. I mean, you know, the Internet finds things and then, you know, somebody puts a little flame to it, throws some gas on it, next thing you know it's viral and you wondering why. Yeah, nothing ever really dies on the Internet. It's really like herpes. Every story is like herpes online. It can be an outbreak. Well, hopefully we. Dang. I was gonna say hopefully we got rid of the herpes, but no, there's no cure for it. You can't. Nope. Keeps coming back. Well, that is the latest, and that is the update. All right, well, thank you, Lauren. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then comedian Bill Burrow will be joining us. I'm DJ Envy. We are the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Morgan is out today, but Bri is filling in. Good morning, Bree Woods. Hey, good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne, Tha God and Jess. Hilarious. Happy Friday. How are you guys feeling? Peace. Bri. No relation to Morgan, right? No, no. We just call each other play cousin now. Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, let's jump right in. Yeah. Here's what's trending in your news this morning. So we begin with Governor Kathy Hochul. She is heading to the White House this morning to meet with President Trump about New York's sanctuary city status. The meeting comes after the Justice Department hit several city hotels and shelters with federal subpoenas seeking names, birth dates, and other information about immigrant asylum seekers. So here's some of what Governor Hochul had to say. We will not be cooperating in terms of state police not assisting unless they have a warrant for someone's arrest or a proof that this person is a dangerous individual. It also comes two days after border czar Tom Holman was on Hogel's turf in Albany, threatening to flood New York with ICE agents. Now, Hogle says the state has always cooperated with ICE when it comes to removing dangerous criminals, but she is vowing to hold the line on New York's sanctuary status. Has that been something that's been an issue for you guys? Have you noticed people feeling a certain type of way about being a sanctuary city? I don't know if they feel the way about a sanctuary city, but, I mean, you know, over the last couple of years here in New York, people have definitely felt the way about, you know, the illegal immigrants. You know what I mean? Like that. That has definitely been a thing. That's been a thing for a while. But I also don't believe anything Democrats say until I see it. So, you know, Governor Hoku's talking all that tough talk until Trump applies pressure. You know what I mean? I need to see how people react when Trump actually applies pressure and says, no, you're going to do this. And I don't know if you've seen it recently, but I guess since we've been talking about it more and more and more. I always feel like the phone listens. The site has been popping up, which is Icegov on Instagram, and it tells you everybody that's been arrested, how they've been arrested, if they child molesters, if they sex offenders or what, all that other stuff it tells you. And get pictures and where they picked them up from, which is they popping up on. They popping up on your phone because, you know, I've been warning them. I've been telling them where to look. Okay, shut up. You know, Iceland asked me to go on a ride along a couple of times. I told him exactly where I want to go. Nope. And you know, I want to go your front gate. Okay, well, hopefully they have a productive meeting this morning. I'm sure there will be updates on that come Monday. In other news, during a heated session of the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday, Democratic Representative John Larson of Connecticut launched into a fiery rant against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, or dosh. Take a listen to Democrat Representative John Larson. He was very upset at the absence of Elon Musk during this meeting. Where's Elon Musk? I'm sure he's a genius, very credible person because of the wealth he's accumulated, but that does not put him above the law or the responsibility to come before this committee in this Congress. If he's so great, if these plans and all the fraud and abuse that he found are so eminent, why isn't he here explaining it? Elon tweeted out, man, tell him sit his poor ass down. Okay? We don't hear from his poor ass, tell him sit his poor ass down. Okay, I understand how Dems doing that, but you know what's more effective? Watching Trump and MAGA supporters go off about doge at those Republican town halls. You know what I mean? Like seeing people expect Dems to be mad, but when they watching people who voted for Trump be mad, it hits different. Yeah, it's definitely different. And he had a lot more to say than that. He went on to accuse Musk of attempting to privatize Social Security and criticized his absence from the committee meeting, questioning his accountability and his motives. The White House responded, defending Musk's efforts to reduce waste and fraud in entitlement programs and accused Democrats of avoiding the issue altogether. So that's going to be an ongoing conversation. And entitlement programs, those are government programs providing benefits or services to individuals who meet specific eligibility requirements established by law, ensuring that those benefits are provided regardless of budget constraints. Or Appropriations, for example, that would be your Social Security, your Medicaid, Medicare, and snap. Gotcha. And on Thursday, it was the fifth anniversary of Breonna Taylor's death. It marked five years since she was shot and killed after police performed a no knock warrant at her apartment in Louisville. Democratic Representative Morgan McGarvey of Kentucky honored her on the House floor this week. Here's just some of what he had to say about Brianna. Listen, Brianna loved her family, her community, and more than anything, she loved life in the face of injustice. We cannot be silent. We must speak up. We must say her name. Brianna Taylor. Now, former Louisville Metro Police Department officer Brett Hankison, he was convicted of violating Taylor's civil rights by shooting blindly into her apartment. And the other officers who fired their guns at her apartment, they no longer work for lmpd, but they have not faced any criminal charges. And I know in Louisville, I was reading and watching, they still protest every year around this time. The protest has never stopped. It's ongoing. But they're saying that there still really is no accountability for what happened five years ago. So. At all. Yeah. And finally, we do have one story involving an American Airlines plane. It caught fire at Denver International Airport after landing, prompting the evacuation of 172 passengers and six crew members. So the fire, which originated from an engine related issue while the aircraft was taxiing to the gate, resulted in thick black smoke and flames that were coming from the underside of the plane. So emergency slides were deployed and passengers, they safely deplaned onto the wing though. So they had to stand on the wing as emergency crews work to extinguish, extinguish the flames. Unfortunately, there are no injuries reported in this and the fire was extinguished within an hour. The Boeing 737 had taken off from Colorado Springs. It was headed to Dallas, Fort Worth before being diverted to Denver. And we wanted to make sure we got that in because you guys are consistently traveling for work and so you just want to scare the hell out of us, hun. Bri no, we wanted to get that in, but you guys are consistently flying, so I want to scare the hell out of y'all. This weekend I got a flight. Precautionary sounds happening. This is crazy that was happening with these planes at these airports and you know, it's being reported now more than ever, so why not? You know what, I'll be wanting just to know what happened happen, like, you know, I mean, because they, they report these stories to us, but then they don't tell us why. At least I, I don't see why these things happened. Well, that sound like the plane was raggedy. Is that. Is that. Well, they said that the plane landed safely at the airport and that the engine trouble didn't start until afterwards. So there was no smoke billowing while they were in the air. But when they got on the ground, come into the gate, that's when all the smoke and fire started with the engine, if there was engine trouble. Better to happen on the ground than in the. Than in the air. Yeah, for sure. Sure. Absolutely. So happy everybody was safe in that instance. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you, Bri. So that's your front page of news. I am Bri Wood. You can find me on X at Bri on air. B R I O N A I R. Also, check us out@bnews.com and get BI and news on demand 24. 7 on the free iHeartRadio app. You guys have a great weekend. All right, YouTube now. All right, now, when we come back, comedian Bill Burr will be joining us. Us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. Yes, indeed. And we got a special guest in the building, the legendary comedian Bill Burr. Welcome. Hey, what's going on? How you feeling? What's up, Bill? I'm all right. You made me think about something this night. There is a risk in giving compliments. Oh, yeah. I came in and I was saying, I go, hey, yeah, you lost some weight. You look good. They say, yeah, you look good. And then he said, what were you saying? I was fat before war. It was like, I guess I kind of was. I wasn't. And I was like, well, what if he's sick, Bill? Yeah. And you said after Risky, that's the risk you take. That's the risk you take. But, you know, they got AIDS under control. Jesus. They do. Yes, they do. It's not like a big deal anymore. Remember when everybody used to be so scared of aids, it was terrifying. Right after the Magic Johnson press conference. Just want to clear this. I don't have aids. That was a crazy transition. Our generation, if somebody got skinny, that's what it was. Before us, it was heroin. Oh, crack. Yeah. After that. Yeah. This is a nice way to start this interview, by the way. Drug addiction, AIDS. Yeah. By the way, Bill, you're 56. You are not in your drop dead years, man. Yeah. Don't say that. Cut it out. Well, yeah. No. People. People. Yeah. I've had friends drop dead in these, these years, so I hope I'm not, I try. I mean I'm an old dad. So that was sort of the, the thought that I started, you know, thinking like I, I, how long do I have to live so my kids will, you know, I, I, I, I raised them and I was starting to do the math and it was kind of scaring me. So I've been, I don't know. But you know, you get to be 56, going to be 57, you start thinking of those things. No, it isn't. Yes, it is. 57 times 2 is 114. That's not young people. Like, oh, you know, you're middle age. It's like, no, I'm not, I'm 56, I'll be 57. So yeah, that's old. Old. No. How old are your kids? Oh, my kids, my daughter is 8 and my son's gonna be 5. So I started late. Yeah. Yes. But the average age of the most people die, men at least around 74. 75. That's the average age in America. Oh, okay, that's good. Yeah. So those are, those are actually the drop dead gears you at least make it to. No, that's not dropping dead, that's, that's dying of natural causes or whatever you were doing. Dropping dead is you're out on a golf course, you know, limbering up, doing this and then just face plant into the teas. But you got to take care of yourself. You go to the doctor, you do your cardiovascular test. That's what I'm not dying. Doing like a health intervention here. It's, it is a stand up special. You're taking it very seriously with the thing. It's just sort of making fun of the fact that yeah, I'm not young anymore. I gotta watch myself and, and whatnot. So you, you run around the park with your gear. Kids do. Yes, I do. All of that type. He's not that old. Why you say it like that? Because he making his sound seem so age. I'm like, well, what young stuff do you do that makes you feel like, I can't do this no more? Damn. It's just being 56 is, is like, is that a crazy thing to think that 56 is kind of old? I think so. The way that I think because you put, you say 56 and you, you talk about all of the like, kind of like the up the hill battle stuff. Like it's just you wake up every day and you look fine. She's 33. But that's how you make it. You make it feel like. You make it feel like you feel old. Like, so I'm like, dang, we're ancient. What's happening with your kids? All right, listen, I'll call Hulu. I will rename this. I'll see what I can do. The free game to Drop Dead Years. Yes. Okay. It's the pregame. All right, well, the special is out today. Yes, it is out today on Hulu Drop Dead Years for everybody out there. Make sure you go stream it. Make sure you go watch it. Absolutely. Can you tell us what. Well, I guess you just told us what inspired the name, but how does it reflect the material you're covering in the special? Well, I always have, like, a mix of, like, I talk about current events, crazy thoughts, and then, you know, sort of analyzing my mistakes or whatever. So I'm not. Because my earlier specials, I was just doing this. So I like to try to point the finger at myself a little bit more. But I don't know, you know, when it comes to comedy, though, are you trying to provide an escape for people, or do you feel like you have to use comedy to make sense of the world that we live in? Definitely an escape. Okay. I'm big on that. Like, my job is when you come, I'm going to make you laugh, forget about whatever you're going through or add to a good week if you had it. But I don't put any sort of level of importance. People try to do that. Like there's a stupid thing out there. The comedians, they're. They're like the truth tellers of today. It's like, no, you journalists aren't doing your jobs anymore. You guys are all. You guys work for one or two channels and, you know, you just sort of toe the company line. So then they're. They're putting it on comedians. It's like, you know, that's not our job. Our job is to make you laugh and forget about your work week or whatever. So I don't put any sort of importance on anything that I'm doing. And how do you stay away from politics? When I feel like politics is just funny nowadays, everything is everywhere. Every, like, everything you say has to do with political stuff, but a lot of stuff you say has to do with political stuff. Like, you were trending all morning this morning. Did you know that on Twitter? Yeah, but I guarantee you, whatever they were saying, I was saying, I wasn't. What was it about? It was the Elon Musk Nazi thing. And how the media say what they. It's ridiculous. There was a. There was a time post. Me too. And all that. Speaking to power, all of that, that was happening. You know, remember when something was supposed to happen for you guys and it didn't because it was all of us just talking? I mean, that's what ended up happening. That's true. That's what ended up happening. A lot of white people making a lot of promises that never happened. Was it during the Black Squares time or something? I don't. I don't. I don't. I just. I just remember there was a time that you would be on stage going, like, can I do this Caitlyn Jenner joke, or am I. Is this gonna, like, am I gonna get canceled? Like, it was really a. This crazy time. Nah, he. She was the one transgender you could always make jokes about, and nobody would get mad. I don't know. I kind of did one on Conan, and then those guys at Huffington Post tried to get something going, but. And, okay, so there was that period. And then, like, a few years later, this guy Sieg Tyler, twice. Once in the front, if you missed it in the back, and it's just like, he still has a job. That guy still has a job. I don't understand those guys. And this isn't politically. It's just like, I don't understand why they're so upset with this country. It's like, you're billionaires. I think it's working for you. Like. Like, you know, why are you going and telling everybody? You know, justify what you do. It's like, justify what you do. That piece of car that you're making that the government financed. No, but you know what you just said? You said that Elon still has a job. He's the richest man in the world. There's nothing they can do to him. And that's all he proved, there's nothing anybody can do to him by throwing up when he did that. What do you take from him? He's not Kyrie Irving. He's not Kanye. Like, what do you do? Yeah, but you keep. I. I don't know. I. Listen, I don't know how this works. I'm just saying that, you know, if you said the wrong thing as a comedian, all of a sudden you lost your TV show. Not the richest man in the world. He was the richest comedian in the world ever, man. I don't get Billboard. What I don't get is the amount of. Of veterans that people in the armed services that died trying to stop Hitler and Then this guy comes in and does that while being an immigrant, too, which is kind of the whole thing. Just none of it, like, tracks how you could be the support the troops, you know, America, love it or leave it. And then this guy comes in and gives a shout out to Hitler. Makes no sense at all. Yeah, it doesn't. I don't know. But then somehow that gets, like, politicized. I'm not trashing Republicans. All Republicans did not see Kyle. That guy did. And I was just amazed that all liberals had was one day of outrage. And, like, all right, I guess that didn't work. Then we just kind of move on because they realized they can't do anything to him. Like, what do you do other than send out some angry tweets. Well, the stock went down a little bit, but then Trump tried to, you know, buy some. Some Teslas on, you know, live on television to show people that it's cool about the company. So the people online said, Bill Barr is absolutely cooking. He don't realize he gonna lead a revolution and then make Joe jokes and complain about it. So they want you to tell them what to do. That's one comment. If you go down this. They was. They can I tell you, they was giving it up for you this morning. If you are in this business, the last thing you want to do is read comments on the Internet. I tell her that every day. Whenever a person is trending, I have to go see why. Like, it's just in my world, she lives in the comments. This is not the. This is. This is. This is not the comments. This is like you were trending across the US On Twitter. So I clicked to see why, because I knew you were coming today. And then I saw the comment that you made, which I saw the day before, but people just started common sense comment that we shouldn't have announced, and people just started yelling about it today. So that's why you were trending. All right, we got more with comedian Bill Burr when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's EJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Laros is with us as well. We're still kicking it with comedian Bill Burr. Charlemagne. You said you feel like billionaires are like rabid dogs who deserve to be put down. Down. Wow. Damn. I mean, well, I'm. It's a podcast. I'm exact. I'm joking. I'm exaggerating. You can't do that. Yes, you can. And I did it and it's fine. You know what I hate? I hate when somebody shows him a clip from a movie or a sketch and be like, oh, you couldn't do that today. It's like, you just did it. That's true. And we all watched it and everything was fine. So, like, I. So you don't really feel like billionaires are rabid dogs who should be put down. I think that they should be regulated. Capitalism is great, but unregulated capitalism, I don't think the direction this is going in where. Now these guys. The thing is, they're all competing with each other. They don't hang out with regular people. They just hang out with other billionaires. So when somebody has an infinity pool overlooking an infinity pool, then that. That's what they want. And, you know, I think they just go around looking at their net worth and they're trying to be like, the first trillionaire. But I don't. I don't know. I don't understand that. But this. This whole, like, heartless way that they truly. Street workers. I agree. Is. It's. It's gotta stop. It has to stop. And I don't. I do find it funny, though, that it's nerds that are ruining the world because they used to always go after, like, frat boys and stuff, and it's like, well, now look at it. It's all of these. These. I don't know, they're all getting, like, hair plugs and they get, like, face. I don't understand what the CEO, they take Jiu Jitsu and they eat raw almonds. But, you know, people feel like that about multi millionaires too, though, Bill. And you are multi millionaire. I. I hit the lottery. Yeah. I was. I worked in a warehouse. I did like that. And then I tried, like, I, you know, I went after something and it paid off. Like, there's no way to win that conversation where it's just like, oh, you got money now, so shut the up. And. But then if you act like you have money, it's like, oh, don't forget where you came from. So, like, I don't know. Nobody's the same person that they were. I like to think I learned some along the way, but, like, you know, people who work for me get paid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want them to go to bed terrified, wake up terrified, go to work terrified. Like, that one psycho said that he wants his workers to do. Like, I want people to be happy, comfortable. Yeah. Like, why wouldn't you want your employees to. Like, when I was Growing up, you know, the working class, it was like one week's pay should be your rent or your mortgage. And now I know people that work a whole month and have to get like, a second job, and that's just not good. You know, you need to be home with your kids. If you have a second job, you can't do that. You can't raise them right. Causes more problems. I don't know. So you like compassionate capitalism? Yeah. I have no problem with people running stuff. I have no problem with people making a ton of money. But, like, you know when. When your are wearing adult diapers because they don't have time to go to the bathroom. Damn. As they're driving your truck across the country, like, yeah, that's what I've got. All right, maybe. Maybe you're taking too much of the pie, that's all. So, I don't know. Random question. Did Billy Corgan get the DNA test to see if you and him are really half brothers? I don't want, you know. Yeah, I don't want to get into that. I don't want to get. That was just a. You know, I love Howie, but we're still trying to work that out. Yeah, that. He did that. Oh, so that was real. That wasn't a bit that you had going on. I don't want to. You know, I don't want to. I don't. Just. Just gonna leave that stuff alone. There's a lot of people out there that aren't in this business that might be affected, you know, So I just. That alone. Okay. All right. Wow. I need to ask. You said you've been married 11 years, and you said you finally got it right. What were you getting wrong for so long? He didn't know. Happy wife was happy life. Yeah. Which sounds cute. It's a threat for me. Happy wife, happy life. What do you mean? What do I mean? What do you mean? Well, you never been with a female. I've been married. Twins. Yeah. And you're smart enough to say what do you mean? So I say it so you don't walk home. Don't try, slick. What do you mean by that? I live on a different planet. No, I. I kind of. No, silence. Silence is the key. When they get all going on about something, you don't have to take the bait. You just sit there. If you don't engage, like arguing with. With a woman is an away game, is what I've learned. And that you're just gonna lose. But if you just stay quiet, not hostile, quiet. Neutral. Quiet. Dies of its own way. And then you just. If you just never get upset, then they. So look at her. You see the look on her face. They come around. They come around and then. But then this is the thing too. You can't ask them to apologize either. Damn, you can't. You have to make it them feel like it was their decision. You know what I say, and this might sound a little off, I say, sometimes winning is losing. Yeah, well, I wouldn't go that negative. That's a little hopeless. You have your guy friends to say what you really feel. Feel in that moment that you used to say to your wife. But like, you just don't do it anymore. You just sit there and go like, you know, you just let him go. But it's not a competition. Like, it's not a competition. You are purposely trying to make her mad. I think he was. No, I wasn't. I accidentally did what she was doing to me because it was all of those times when I was like, I'd be in an argument, I would be right. And then all of a sudden I would be arguing some other going like, how did we get over here? And then I would say something dumb. And then I would end up having to apologize even though I was right. And then I would go for a walk. And then sort of like, you know, after you lose a game, you're looking at the game film. And I was, ah, she did it to me again. So I don't know. Well, they always say went through your actions, never through argument. So I feel like that's what you mean when you say just be quiet. Yeah, I mean, that's. Whatever you just said is more evolved than I am. I just try to like, like that was like when I'm on duolingo and I kind of know most of the words, and I was like, wait, let me. Let me just hit pause and think what was just said. Just went through your action and never do argument. Like, I don't need to argue with somebody. Just show improvement, basically. I saw you say that one of the greatest things that ever happened to you is that you went bald. Went ball for your acting career. Oh, for acting. Yeah. Because before that when I had the red hair or whatever, like, you know, they talk about all the stereotypes in Hollywood. It's not just like with people. Like, I was in the redhead drawer and there's just certain roles that you get. And I remember, like, you know, I'm old enough we had like black and white headshots. So like in the 90s with the moose and the hair, it kind of looked like brown hair. So a couple times in like some smaller projects, independent things, they would bring me in for the lead. And I was thinking, oh my God, I'm finally getting to go in. I'm finally going to have like a big part. And I would come walking in, like, you know, prepare three scenes, right? And I would come walking in and then they would see me. They'd be like, oh, okay, we're just going to do the first scene. And I knew what that was. It's like you're not going to have. There was just this unwritten rule that if you were a redhead, you weren't going to be the lead. Redheaded male was not going to be the lead in a movie. So going bald and shaving my head, you know, I started looking more of like the ass that I am. So I got to play those kinds of guys, you know, like this thing in Glengarry Glen Ross, this guy David, David Moss that I'm playing, you know, he sounds like all the guys that I grew up with. Like, it was a different time and people just yelled at each other and they said horrible to each other and there was like no apology. And you just kind of moved on. So what makes you want to do Broadway? Like, that's like the, like you already do the hardest thing there is to do on stage. I think comedians are maniacs. For you as one person to go on stage, I would say editing a movie is way difficult than really. Oh my God. First of all, on your first movie, if you don't know what you're doing. If like, you know, when you see experienced directors, they, they'll have a guy, they're like starting to edit the stuff as they go. So they almost have their first cut at the end. Your first time director, it's like you took five jigsaw puzzles and just threw it in the air and it's on the floor and you have to look at every piece and try to figure out how it went together. That's the hardest as far as in show business thing that I did. And then before show business, any construction, landscaping, roofing was brutal. But standup is not hard. It's more humiliating in the beginning when you don't know what you're doing. But once you know what you're doing, it's one of the easiest jobs in entertainment because it's in real time where like a movie's an hour and a half and it takes like three months to shoot it. 16 hour days, you know, an Hour. Stand up takes an hour. So if you're funny, it's. It's an easy job. Why Broadway now? Because I fell in love with acting and Broadway. I never was into, you know, I just thought it was all, like, Cats, Les Mis, and all of that. I didn't understand any of that. And. But in the late 90s, 2000, I saw true west with John C. Reilly and, rest his soul, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and it wasn't a musical. And I watched it, and I was like, wow. It was electrifying. I was like, this is amazing. I would love to do that. And I had started to take some acting classes, you know, for about five years. At that point, I just sort of, you know, the way the business used to be was like, stand up led to acting back when you got paid to be an actor, as opposed to now. I don't know what's going on. Yeah. So I just started taking acting classes. I don't know. I don't know how most of the stuff has happened. My career. And somehow I ended up on this thing, which is crazy. And we've done three preview shows, which is funny. They act like they don't count until the premiere, but it's like, people paid, like, these count. But it's a great cast of people, and everybody's been killing it. So. Been fun. All right, we got more with Bill Burr when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Bill Burr. Lauren, in the opening of your special, you're walking on a stage, you talk about how comedy is, like, kind of like a safe space or whatever, because you've. You didn't. And I never said safe space. It's my estimation of it. Yeah, I was surprised. Guys, what did you say? Because whatever it was, I was surprised to hear you say it, because you said something about, like, you didn't know how much you wanted people to like you. Oh, yeah. I thought I did. And I was confused. I'm like, really? Yeah. Well, I thought I did stand up because I liked comedy. That's what I thought. But I didn't do taking mushrooms and figuring myself out. I realized that the reason why I did comedy, aside from I like making people laugh, and that's how I connected with them. It wasn't this way to go on stage and make a room full of strangers like you so they wouldn't hurt you. Yeah. So that was kind of like, you know, that's okay. I just was Surprised that he said that because this other stuff you say, I'm like, you know, people are going to dislike you for that, but you still say it. So that probably has to do with not getting love. And then when you grow up, then you push it away, play or something, or not feeling worthy of it. Low self esteem. There's a lot of stuff in there. I gotta take some more mushrooms to figure that part of it out. But you do a lot of plant based medicines. No, I just, I don't know what I do. I've only done mushrooms like three or four times. And what I like about it, it's the only drug I've ever done that didn't make me want to do it again the next day. It made me want to like work on myself and try to be not such an ass. And has it worked? Yeah, it has. It's. I'm not gonna get into it, but confronted a lot of stuff that happened to me that made me become a comedian or have the need to do it. And then it made me understand my wife more and what it was like to be with me because you know what I mean? If you grow up in a crazy environment, your idea of not crazy is just less crazy than the crazy you grew up with. But if everybody, if you get with somebody that had a regular happy childhood, whatever that is, you think you're being chill and your chill is a raving lunatic to them.

I'm Mark Seal. And I'm Nathan King. This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli. The five families did not want us to shoot that picture. Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli is based on my co host Mark's best selling book. At the same time and on this show, we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish. This is really the first interview I've done in bed. We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, Many of them conflicting. That's nonsense. There were 60 pages and try to get to the truth of what really happened. And they said, we're finished. This is over. It only is not going to work. You got to get rid of those guys. Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Caan, Talia Shire and many others. Yes, that was a real horse's head. Listen and subscribe to Leave the Gun. Take the Cannoli on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And then that becomes the most difficult thing, I think as a human being is empathy. Get out of me and listen to you. What are you saying? And then, and you know, admitting you're wrong. Okay, you're right. That's hurting you. I'm acknowledging that. Blah, blah, blah. Like, that's the type of stuff I got out of taking mushrooms. Is figuring yourself out good for entertainment? Meaning, like when you are 100% okay. One of the biggest myths as a comedian is if you get happy, you're not going to be funny anymore. It is. It breathes all new life into you. And you can re examine all of these topics that you've talked coming from a different perspective, being happy. Also, you can maybe do stand up for the crowd instead of yourself because now you're happy. It's like, hey, let me make them happy for an hour. Like they're that man, you. Makes you more empathetic. You can relate to people even if you haven't gone through what they've gone through, you understand that they're going through something. So if they do yell at you, rather than taking it personal, you can come at them from a different angle. Which is my favorite thing to do is to just. Just not take it personally and try to figure out where it came from and get them to laugh about themselves, to realize that what they yelled at me had nothing to do with me. It had to do with what happened to them on Tuesday or when, I don't know, years ago or something like that. So when you look at your old stuff, do you feel like you was just projecting, like you was just projecting your anger or whatever it was? Yeah, I would say, I don't know. When I. Well, I don't watch my Old stuff. But if I was to watch it, it wouldn't make me cringe or anything. I would just sort of look at it more like, you know, that's where I was. You know, a lot of the stuff that I said about women had really nothing to do with women. It had to do with the fact that I wanted to be marri. Wanted to have kids. I didn't know how to do it. I was too walled off. That's like a really heavy thing to try to figure out in your 20s. I mean, I didn't have the maturity to do that. So what I did was I lashed out at what I wanted instead and blamed them. Because that's way easier than trying to figure out yourself maybe. I don't know. I would probably cringe at some of the that I said because I've heard comedians say like, because, you know, I'm a big proponent of therapy. But I've heard a lot of comedians. I'll never go to therapy because, you know, I need just trying trauma. Like, do you. Well, that's just where they are. I hope they get to look because it's just like, all right, so you want to be upset your whole life. You get one life. I don't believe in reincarnation. You get one life. It's like you could be happy. You could make other people happy, you could help them out. You could do that. Or you could just go around, you know, taking out your childhood on other people, which is what the I was doing. Yeah. Do you think about dying? You just said, yeah, but not in a bad way. I don't. I don't believe in an angry God and I don't believe that he's going to judge me. Me. It's like you made me. Did I up? Well, that's your mistake. Jesus. Well, I always equated if I built a car and it doesn't start up, I mean, I'm gonna get mad at the engine. Yeah, but if you tell them we put this type of gas and then somebody put something else in it and it up. Not the builder's fault. Okay, so that, that's the devil analogy. Is that the devil analogy? No, I'm just talking. Cuz like my thing is just talking. You just went reverse, Henry Hill. I'm just listening. I'm just talking. I'm just. Just want to hear the sound of my voice. It's soothing to me. Soothing to me to present ideas. I do understand what you're saying though, because I think about that often. I don't believe in that, that devil, it's like, that's God's creation. You created that. Handle that. And there's a lot of things here that cause us to make poor choices. God makes sociopaths. He makes. He makes horrible people. People also. But for some reason with religion, that's not God's responsibility. And then these horrible people do horrible to kids and stuff, and it messes them up. And then they got to go out in the world, and then they start being toxic or whatever. It's. I. I believe in God, but I don't necessarily believe in a loving God. Explain that. Well, then why would he make all these horrible people? People will say, the devil got a kingdom and it's the devil's work. What's your religious background? Like, are you. You spiritual or are you, like, religious? The difference is, like, how you practice. Like, are you in church often? Are you? Or you just have your own faith journey with whoever you praise? I don't do any of that, okay? I just try to be a good guy. I don't know. I. I don't understand. Like, even if you look at the animal world, he created all the animals too. The fact that, like, there's just animals out there, that their whole purpose is to be food, to be eaten alive like rabbits. It's just like the pathetic of being a rabbit rabbit. That means God was thinking about us. Are his other creatures that need to eat. Explain bears. Just like, why would you make something like that? And they have an inability to kill something without starting to eat it first. Like, what I like about lions and tigers and is they have the decency to kill you before they start eating you. Whereas, like, a bear just pounces on you and just starts ripping meat out of your back, like Leonardo DiCaprio. But that's only if you're in there and violence environment. Like, I know, but deer are. Why did deer have to go through that death? Why can't it just kill the thing? Because deers are those animals food. Like, when you ask me explain. I understand that, but why do they have to have such an agonizing. If there's a loving God, why would he make something that's so stupid it has the ability to kill something, it just starts eating it. You want a Bible answer for that or do y'all just discussing. You got a Bible answer for him? All right, I want to hear. I want to hear you. I'm open to this. So the way that this, the story goes in the Bible, Job says, the best merith shall mollith and Start eating it. No. Especially if the deer is gayeth. You never had gay deer meat. It's sweet. How's it changed? Bill Burley. All right, one more question I was waiting for. You said you want billionaires to be put down, ladies and gentlemen. That would be a controversial take, everybody. I mean, put down. I, I like compassionate capitalism. If you're a piece of person, period, regardless of what your financial status is, we probably can do without you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. This is my impression of Bill Gates eating an apple in his house. Wait a minute. Is this one of mine? Bill Burr, ladies and gentlemen. Drop dead. Years out now on Hulu. I mean, you know what I mean? He's not going to eat the food he's making us eat. I get it. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is this the one I'm giving out to babies or is this for my own orchard? Is this a billionaire apple or is this just for the common people? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets him from somebody. Somebody that knows somebody. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on it. 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. Well, y'all, Lizzo is back on stage. It has been years since she has performed. It's been two years. And she hit the stage in Los Angeles. Angeles. And she talked about her mental health and not wanting to be here at one point. Let's take a listen. My album is called Love, and I named it that because about a year and a half ago, I was in such a dark depression. I was so heartbroken by the world. I didn't want to lose anymore. I was so deeply afraid of people that I didn't want to be seen. Eventually, I got over that fear and as I was walking through the crowd to get to my spot, somebody who I didn't know looked at me and said, lizzo, I love you. And it was a thousand people. And then it was 10,000 people showering me with love and support and reaching out. And it was life saving. And after that experience, I was like, damn, you can't get this. This on the Internet, bro. This is the kind of love you can only get in real life. Yes. That's what's Up. Yeah. So it's good to hear her feeling better. And she losing weight too. Back, small neck. Slim. Just told you that. Lost a lot of weight. I didn't. I really ain't stopped paying attention till I saw her. This. I saw something she posted this week. She was in red. Yeah. Yes, the one in red. She posted this video on this red leather outfit and she was like, it's giving BBL allegations. I was like, go off list. And that's what I'm saying. It was a color. She. Sometimes they wear black, cuz black will trick you. You know what I'm saying? But when you wear red, red pops. So you can really see the weight loss in the red. No, she just. She posted like something when she was with. She was in her underwear and a bra and she still look good. Like she. I saw that one. But that was the black, though. She had on black underwear and a black bra, but it's like all her body. Like, still. Yo, she. She lost a lot of weight. Salute to Lizzo. Dropping the food bombs for Lizzo. Absolutely. People always forget. Forget that these artists are regular people, right? Because they put their art out there and they put their life out there. And people joke, they laugh, make fun, and people hurt. And I'm glad she's getting the love that she wasn't joking her art. They was joking her weight. That was the joke about living. Okay, maybe. Maybe the weight weight thing. She also had the lawsuit stuff happening. They suing her because they said she called her fat. She was fat too. That's what I'm saying. Fat back. I'll come back to the fat, y'all. You know what I'm saying? It was a big lawsuit. But that's. But now, now, now she losing the weight. She ain't nothing to talk about now. Now what you gonna say? Do you want her back off the stage again? Obviously, because. Leave her. She just got out of it. Here you go. This is support. What are you talking about? What you gonna say about her now? Nothing. I ain't saying nothing. Before we. We told you she looked good. You had to see it in red. But anyway. Literally. But anyway. Switching gears, sending a congratulations to Normani and DK Metcalf, who are now engaged. For them, a feeling Lauren will never feel. What happened now? Don't say that. Don't say that, Lauren. To feel that way. Lauren, don't. Don't even feed into it. Yeah, keep going. Don't feed into it because. You know what I mean? I'm staying focused because that's Right. All right. So they got engaged. He says that their families were together in Houston, so he thought it was the perfect time. He actually said he'd been trying to propose to her for over a year, but because of their schedules with her performing and him doing his thing. Thing, it didn't happen. And he wanted to make sure the families together were together when he did it. So the way he did it was he sent her, like, flowers, like, repeatedly. And each time she received the flowers, it had, like, a story in it. And the last bouquet that he sent her, the card read, will you marry me? She said, yes, and now they are engaged, which is congrats. So amazing. That's a good man, Savannah. I love a thoughtful engagement. So I'm telling you, brothers, when you do your engagements, you got to go all out, because that's the story that she gonna tell in the future for the rest of her life. Yes, man. You gotta make it good. Yeah. And they're a beautiful black couple. They just look good together. Normani is a smoke show herself, but, like, yo, she looked good next to yo. So that's what's up. Yeah. And Russell Wilson, who introduced them, posted about it. They were on FaceTime. Russell, Sierra, and Normani and. And DK. And Russell said, I knew that when we introduced y'all three years ago, love was truly in the air. Now y'all gonna be booed up forever. This was the best news. So, yes, they need to reboot Love Connection and let Russell Wilson host it then. Because, you know, Russell and Sierra got the relationship that everybody be liking. Right. And now he could making love connections like this. Yeah, you should figure that out. You like MTV and stuff? No, I don't want to do that, but I just think that's a good idea for somebody to do. Yeah, somebody like him. Yes. Actually, that'd be fire. Yes. Okay. Russell. Hey, Lauren. You're. You're gorgeous. It'll be easy. It'll be easy. Y'all gotta stop. Thank you. Yes. He be in here.

I don't see Lauren London. Can we talk about it, please? Cuz that's not. Let's talk about it, cuz. It's been bothering me since we started this segment just now. Be quiet. You got to relax now. Fifteen, 20 minutes ago, Lauren was in this room trying to convince me that she looked like Brandy, Monica and Lauren London. I did not say Lauren London. I said people used to call me Lauren London because my name was Lauren and she was what people? And the LS Lauren LaRosa. Come on, we not doing this again. How you look like Brandy and Monica? I don't know. Ask the people. Jesus Christ. I don't speak well. Look, look, if you say you look like Morris Chestnut, she could look like whoever she wants to. No, no, because we all know that that's. I don't say that. Other people say like that. Nobody says that. But you're trying to figure out how she look. I ain't never heard say I look like Brandy and Monica. The boy is yours. Just yours or just yours? Yours alone, stupid. Well, before we wrap up, I do want to mention because we had broke the story about who would be there paying their condolences to Angie Stone. So her funeral today will take place in Atlanta and it will be live streamed. So the word family, the church, they have a live stream. There's several live streams that are available for people who are not able to make it in person. So I just wanted to make sure that people knew that that was happening today.

So today is Atlanta and then tomorrow is the private ceremony with her family and friends in South Carolina. South Carolina. Yeah. All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. Or. All right, now when we come back, Charlamagne. Oh, shut up. Charlamagne. We giving that donkey too, hater. Release it. God. Do your thing. After the hour. Is going to Chuck Schumer. We need them. We need him to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. Okay. All right. Well, we do that when we come back. Don't go anywhere then. Tank will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. To the latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him. And this is what he did. And so we are in, in a state of emergency. Okay? White supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The Breakfast Club, bitch. Please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day. Yes, Donkey of the day for Friday, March 14, goes the senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader who broke with his party, the Democrats on Thursday and signaled that he will clear the for a Republican spending bill. Let's go to Fox 40 for the report, please. I believe it is my job to make the best choice for the country to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down. Schumer is only the second Senate Democrat to state definitively his intention to vote to advance the GOP written spending bill. But it's likely he'll give the political cover to other Democrats. Still, Schumer admits he agrees on principle with his fellow Dems that the bill is far from ideal. While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. Schumer argued that a shutdown would leave veterans without critical services and could empower Trump to lay off more staff at the Social Security Administration hurting seniors and people with disabilities. It is not a clean cr. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even more, even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option. Now, I don't know what happened between Wednesday and Thursday, because on Wednesday, Chuck Schumer said he wouldn't do that. He said Senate Democrats would not provide the votes needed for Republicans to advance the House approved deal to fund the government through September. In fact, Schumer proposed a one month stopgap measure to allow time to negotiate. And that's what you should do if you think a bill is terrible, negotiate. By the way, I'm not saying the Republican bill is bad. Chuck Schumer said that. Let's listen to him again. Say it. Listen. There is nobody in the world, nobody who wants to shut the government down more than Donald Trump and more than Elon Musk. While the cr. The bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. Oh, Chuck Schumer. Oh, Democrats, the party of inaction. That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans. One party is about inaction and one party is about all action. Okay. Even if that action is harmful to the country, doesn't matter. They are always doing something. Republicans have an agenda, they have a plan. And they stick together, all of them, to execute that plan. It doesn't matter if Republicans go at each other in the media, disagree with each other, because when, when it comes time to vote, they all fall in line, okay? They get things done. Democrats do not do this. And this is just the latest example, per usual, the party of inaction, the Democrats have failed to protect or even attempt to fight for the interests of the American people. I know Dems don't have much leverage, but dammit, if you got some, you it. Okay? Salute to the good sister, former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner. I saw her post something last night on Instagram that I completely agree with. She said, and I quote, as Republicans hold a trifecta, which means they control all branches of government, it was their party's responsibility to pass a budget and get the votes to keep government running. Not the Democratic Party, end quote. Never mind that the bill is terrible. Chuck Schumer, you said the bill is very bad. You said the Republican bill is a terrible option. You said it's not clean. You said it's deeply partisan. And the most important part, it doesn't address the country's needs. So on one hand the government shuts down and the other hand a terrible bill passes that doesn't address the country's needs. So sounds to me like regardless of how this goes, working class Americans get screwed. Typical. Okay. Democrats get pushed around and bullied into doing the Republicans bidding. Typical. So in the words of DS here we go again. Listen, since 2019 I've been getting on this radio and telling you that Democrats suck at messaging. I wrote about it in my third book, Get Honest or Die Lying. Okay? But the reason them suck at messaging is simply because they have nothing to talk about, okay? They ain't talking about nothing. What are you talking about? What are they talking about? They ain't talking about nothing because they have nothing to talk about. No identity, no plan, no backbone. Republicans are the bullies, Democrats are the cowboys cowards. And that's the story. Okay? But listen, in order to change the messaging, you gotta change the people in the party. They will always and forever continue to have a messaging problem because Democrats have a leadership problem. And it's time for the Chuck Schumers of the world, the Hakeem Jeffries of the world, to step down. Go away. We need people in those positions willing to fight. Not only should Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries step down. Any Democrat who isn't fighting for the people and standing with the party should be primaried. Okay? We the people have zero confidence in Democratic leadership, all right? People will continue to have zero confidence in Democrats until we get some new Democrats, okay? Don't talk to me about midterms. Don't talk to me about 2028. Because the reality is, what's the point of voting for the type of Democrats that will continue to do nothing? All right? We need to get rid of what we got and bring something new in. I don't want any more cowardly Democrats, Democrats who are beholden to the corporate dollar. Because when you are beholden to the corporate dollar, you are beholden the corporate interest and not the interests of the people. Chuck Schumer, if you know a bill is terrible, okay, if you know this bill doesn't serve the best interest of the people, what are you voting for it for? Okay? You're not even going to try to put up a fight when it comes to budget negotiations. You're not even going to try to negotiate. Chuck Schumer thinks that by 2026, Republicans will be so unpopular because of the politics policies they've implemented and because the economy is so bad that people will just come running back to Democrats. But does he not realize that folks will remember that you too, Chuck, voted for these bills? Hey, maybe that, maybe Chuck Schumer doesn't really think this bill is terrible. Maybe he likes the bill. He just doesn't have the nuts to say, hey, I actually like the bill and I'm voting for it because it's good and I like it. I would respect that because I don't care what party does what. I just want things to get done so America can vote benefit. But once again, because since everyone is playing politics, it simply looks like one party, Republicans is about action and the other party, Democrats, is not. So what reason do I have to continue to support the party of inaction? That narrative will not change for Democrats until the people in the Democratic Party are changed. Please give Senator Chuck Schumer the biggest he ho. All right, you gotta be, you have to be a Republican. When you gonna come out and just say, I'm a Republican? What that got to do with being a Republican? Anything I just say have to do with being a Republican. On Democrat, like I'm. Earlier today you was like, what's the point of voting for them? So it's like, well, if I, if I, if I vote for a party and I support a party and I expect the party to go in there and fight for me and I voted for them and fight for the American people, you damn right I'm gonna be on the ass. No, what I'm saying, like, you like can't stand these people. Like you by hate these people like this. Now he buy he going on Republicans and he going to Democrats. He by he going on everybody equal opportunists. I do, I do hate people who are not fighting for the American people but claim to be fighting for the American people. You're absolutely right. I know. I'm telling you, you are a gay Republican. That is who you are. I'm not, I'm not Republican or Democrat. I'm an American and I want the best for the American people. So if this man, Chuck Schumer is telling me that this bill is terrible and just yesterday he said he wouldn't vote for it, but today he's flip flopping. Yes, I'm on his ass. I will say, yeah, now you're on everybody's ass. You're right, you're a gay Republican. You, you, you stay on anybody, whether it's Republican, whether it's Democrat, whether it's independent. People always hear, hear you talk about Democrats more. But I'm going tell you, you're equal opportunist when it comes to it. Think I'm really a Republican when I take ice up on this offer and I go on this ride along with them and I show up to your house and I point to your house and I say, that's where the illegals are, sir. Now that's what the illegals are, by the way. By the way, you know what? I'mma put cases on both of y'all mother eff. Okay. And Jeff, Hilary, I can see right there now the sassy point too. Like, yes, she said I'm a gay Republican, right? Yes. Her family is Mexican in there. Yes, that's right. Jesus crazy. All right, all right. Well, thank you for that donkey. Today. When we come back, Tank will be joining us. R B singer Tank, he's on Broadway. He's performing in Alicia Keys Broadway play. It's called Hell's Kitchen. And we'll talk to him next. It'll go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Seem like he trying to take our job doing all these interviews and stuff. Ladies and gentlemen, we have R B singer Tank. Tank. I'm not trying to take your job. You're doing a phenomenal job. Yes, you are. I am just catering to my people. I'm making sure that my community has a place to go, that the conversation is bridged from the old to the new. I love it. You know what I love about the RB Money podcast? There's always so many hip hop podcasts. And, you know, the rappers got a place to go. The OG rappers got a place to go. R and B money has created that space for the R and B world. I love it. And now the R and B Music Awards. Oh, I didn't know about that. Tell us about it. What do you mean? You guys have a dedicated hip hop. Not you. Hip hop has a dedicated award show. Right? Right. Whereas the R and B dedicated award show so that we can cover the entire gambit of R and B. R and B is so many things. It's so vast. You can't cover it in two to three categories at some award show and think that that's going to do it all justice. Oh, I want to hear about this now. Are you creating this? I want to know the category as a R and B icon, like you are. What are the categories of R and B? Because all we think is R and R B. Let's go soul. You get into the songwriter aspect of it, the producer aspect of it, even the performance aspect of it, you know? Yes. All of these things are so different. Like a Jill Scott is way different from Summer Walker. From a Summer Walker. You know what I mean? It's way different. A Calvin Richardson is way different from Chris Brown. You know what I mean? And so how do we create these tiers and levels to where all of the nuances of R B can be referenced, recognized. Give me an example of progressive. Oh, CB is progressive. Okay, okay. Completely. He's. He's. The current state of R B music. You know what I mean? Even if. Even if we want to say what. What Drake and Party just did, you know what I mean? That's very progressive R B, you know what I mean? If you want to say what is more traditional. I'm more in the middle of a traditional progressive R B artist because I can do a record with Chris Brown, but, you know, I can also do a record with God Rest His Soul and Stone. See, I like the traditional. And I said that when the Party and Drake album dropped, I was like, that ain't for me. And it was like, well, you know, it's for the ladies. Because R B I'm like, no, guys like R B. I just don't like that type of R. Exactly. Exactly. There. There's a difference. And so we have not had the conversation about all of these things together. We just say best R B album. And then you got Chris Brown in the same category with Robert Glasper. It's like, how do you do that? How do we're not all just one thing? So when. When are you doing this? Is it thought out to that where it's going to happen? It's been. It's. It's. It's been great conversations. You know what I mean? Me and my brother, Jay Valentine, we have. We've actually had this conversation with Jesse Collins. And so, you know, all of this, what I'm doing right now is just kind of creating the anticipation and the desire and hopefully enough comments will come and people to see the value, because that's where it starts. People have to see the value in. In what we do in order to create this next level platform. Well, don't leave Black effect. And I heart out the conversation. You know, I heart knowing to put together a good award show. Well, what do you want to do? I want to help with the R B money award show. That'd be fantastic. There you go. Done. I want to know how is it for you, Right. Knowing all these R and B stories. Right. And I'm watching your podcast and I know you know the answers, but some of these times it hasn't been put out there and you're just feeding the person. Right. Like I look at Stephen Hill with the Chris Brown situation. Yeah. You're leading him because you knew what happened. But making him explain the story was amazing. I didn't know what happened, really. I didn't even know he was part of it. I knew from Chris's side that they had got him all the way to the point of where it was about to happen. It was about to happen. And then pulled the rug out from under him. I didn't know the intimate details and who all was involved. And hearing Steve, like, Stephen is like, you know, he loves. He loves that. Yeah, he loves it. He felt like he was getting ready to create one of the most iconic moments of all times. And he was looking for that rehearsal. Jesus. He was. He was. And it hurt him that now he, you know, has to go back and tell CB that it's not happen. You know what I mean? Like, that. That crushed him more than anything. And he was like, man, if you could ever talk to him, just let him know I I love him. I want, you know, I wanted that for him. I just. They pulled it from me. Nothing I could do. I was gonna ask that you put them on the phone after that because he said in your interview that they hadn't. He hadn't gotten a chance. Well, he wanted to see him in person to apologize and stuff like that. So. No, we didn't. We didn't get a chance to make that happen. Okay, But. But I'd love to make that happen for him. Another one of my favorite R B Money podcast recently was the LA Reid episode. He really sparked a real conversation and it just had me thinking about, yes, you need Black Boutique. Everything you need that we need to be able to operate the way we operate. Just let us do what we do. Like, even with what you guys do, you guys do what you do. Which is why it is what it is. There's nobody micromanaging or policing you. You get your paycheck, whatever that is, is. But it's because of how you do your thing. Nobody's interrupting that. Which is why it's, what, how many years in the making? 15. 15. Jesus Christ. Yeah, imagine if you had no control of that. You know what I mean? Imagine. Imagine you being subject to somebody else's ideas. Somebody else's. And then. I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect Podcast Network.

You lose with that. That hurts worse than anything. I lost listening to you. You. No, no. I'm going to go down with me. Word. I'm going go down with me. And that's what we've lost. We've lost the people that have done it from. From here. I just believe, like think about D'Angelo's Untitled. If somebody just doesn't say, ah. I just, I just feel like this is different. They never get to the third single, which is a life changing record. Don't have that no more. Our analytics say, yeah, we're losing here. We're done. We're gonna move on. Right? Well, how does it feel? Wasn't the third single, was it? How does it feel with the third single? The Butt Naked video was his third single. Wow. I did not know that. How do we not get to that? One of the greatest songs of all time. I did not know that. Wow. You know what I mean? Genuine. So anxious. If Jomo doesn't say, we gotta get to this moment, we gotta get to this one. This one right here is going to change it. Trust me. Maybe I deserve was my second single. If we were just going off of first singles. I'm not going to name the first song I had out, but I was dancing and, and flipping and blowing up. Yeah, we take for a second. I remember. Cuz. I remember. Maybe I deserve. I shouldn't have brought that up when you said it. I just heard the song like Freaky. No, maybe I heard. Yeah, my first single was called Freaky. Okay. And it almost destroyed my career before it started. Huh. The label. The label picked it, but I was very excited about it as well. When I googled it, it said a song many have missed is his actual first single, Freaky, which came out first and has pretty much become obscure today. Obscure. God damn. When's the last time you performed that? Never I was performing the song. I was on promo tour, Fort Valley State Homecoming. And I'm, you know, I'm coming out. I got my freaky interlude. You know, they want to get freaky. And then the song starts. And, like, right in the middle of the first hook, these two little cute girls in the first row was like, whack. I was like. And this was in the DAT tape era, so I couldn't stop it. Then I sweated the rest of the song, and I never, never sang that song again. Damn. I said, don't put on the album. Erase it. Get rid of this song. And we did a hard turn cut. The single went to. Maybe I deserve. Thank God. Wow. The rest is history. Rest is history. All right, we got more with Tink when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Tank Charlemagne. Why, bro? Broadway, right now? Because you are featured in Alicia Keys, Hell's Kitchen. And it's timing, bro, because for me, 2025 was the hard pivot into acting. You know, the music thing has been so much of my bread and butter and so much of my focus for so long. I was like, I gotta get to the other thing that I love. And Charlie Mack had always been telling me, bro, you're gonna have to make a hard pivot in order to really do it the right way. And I was like, okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. And with 2025 coming in the way that it did and having a free moment and opportunity. I'd always heard horror stories about Broadway, you know what I mean? Just in terms of the workload. Yeah. And the pay. The pay. The facility, all of that. And I was like, yeah, I probably never do Broadway. And then I get, you know, we get this call from Alicia, like, hey, Alicia's looking for you to do. You know those kids. I'm like, what? And I'm like, you know, the name Alicia Keys is already. Like, that's interesting. Gotta at least see what that's about. Right? And so he sent some papers over for me to look at. And I'm like, okay, I'm looking at it. I'm like, all right, I'll go see. You know what I mean? Just out of respect for that name itself. So you went to go watch the play before you? Absolutely. Okay. So you saw when Brandon V. Dixon was playing? Well, he wasn't there. All right, all right. His sub was In Got you, got you. Gotcha. Who's dope as well. And. And I watched a play, and I fell in love with it. And the next day was actually my walk in audition. And so I kind of knew where I needed to be. And at that point, it was just like, I think it's time. I think it has answered the question for me. You know what I mean? Me and Lulu were to my manager, Lulu was talking to me. He's like, it just does something different for you, brother. It just does something really different. And in deliberating, I was just deliberating, like, is this the time to, like, just take a hard left? And out of nowhere, Charlie Mack calls me. I haven't. Hadn't talked to in a minute. And he's like, what's going on, bro? I'm like, nothing. Just. Just chilling. He wanted to come to my Atlantic City show. I'm like, oh, I got you. Look. He said. I said the magic question. I got this on the table right now. And he said, what we talking about? I said, well, I'm asking you. You. You don't need my opinion. You know, what you're supposed to do. There was that, and here I am. And so, you know, when I said. I sat with Alicia the other day, her and Adam Blackstone, and she was like, tank, I just felt like it was you. She's like, I didn't know why. She's like, it was. It just. To me, it just felt like it was you. And she's like, I didn't even know if you could act. And I was like, wow, you ain't seen me on Lifetime or bet, you know what I'm saying? Or TV one. I'm the Denzel of that space. You know what I'm saying? I'm the Denzel of that space. I'm the Denzel of that space. You ain't seen none of that, but she had never seen me act. And she was like. And then when I saw you in the audition, she was like, I was just blown away. And I was like, no, that's. That's what I do. Singing is. That's whatever. And so she and I went back and forth, singing back and forth, her, you know, singing her amazing catalog. And I debuted on Tuesday. And so now it's, like, real. How tough is it, the rehearsals and do you have to shut everything else off? And you get time for yourself now? Because it just seems like. Like a. Doesn't stop. I'm a machine, so I'm a routine guy, you know what I Mean, so I'mma get up, help get the kids to school, do cardio, eat, go to the gym, do the second lift, go to the studio, either work on music or do pod, get back, eat dinner with the family, get some wife time in, and the next day do the same thing. I'm a machine. I'm built like that. That. So Broadway schedule works perfect for who I am now. Eight shows a week. Crazy. That's where it get different because, you know, they call it, you know, you have A A show, a B show, and a C show in terms of how you perform. I've never been able to do a B show and feel good about it. Like, because all of those people, whether it's a Wednesday or Saturday, they spent their money to see something great. They spent their money to see somebody go all out. So I'm doing a shows from Tuesday to Sunday, and we got one day off. That's Monday, and right back to it. Jesus. What's your rest day like on a Monday? Like, I don't know. Oh, you don't? I just. I just dated. So I'm gonna have my first Monday next. Next Monday. What's your plans? Nothing. Go to the gym. You know what I'm saying? Eat, eat. Eat some cool food somewhere, you know, maybe keep with Charlemagne and I heart and talk about this. Let's do it. There you go. What about the family? Like, could you. Family was just here. They came for the, for the, for the debut. My mom, them came up, wife Zoe and Zion came up, and it was really, it was really, really cool, man. But 13 weeks is a long time to be. Be away from the family. Especially if you got a routine like you say, it's. It's tougher for them than it is for me, because for me, I'm, you know, I'm hyper focused. I'm in it, and I have something to do every day, something to look forward to. And so, you know, the wife is at home doing the kid thing and all that. But that's why, you know, that's what it's a team marriage is about. She holds that down. I'm gonna hold this down. But this, to me is like, was the opportunity for people in that space to understand that I'm serious, serious about going here. You know, Kevin was in town the other day, so I went and, you know, saw him and chopped it up with him. And he was like, I'm really, really proud of you for making this move. This says a lot about the next level of where you can go and who you can be. And so that's what I'm looking forward to. That's what it is. So you got yours tonight? Yeah. Oh, we gotta get Tank outta here. Check out Tank at Hell's Kitchen. We appreciate it. Oh, one more thing, too. Saturday, April 20th, 26th, is the third annual Black Effect Podcast Festival. Can you make it? Huh? Can you make it? Yeah. Saturday, Tank and Jay Valentine are gonna be there. He's got. I'll be there. I got one day off. That's right. Oh, that's okay. Just making sure. One day. Have y'all thought about what that's gonna look like? Live R B Money podcast on stage? Nope. Nope. We're thinking about it, though. Yeah. Cause it's gotta be sexy. You know what I'm saying? You know, y'all gonna be singing. Why he gotta sing? You don't have to. I just want the podcast, ma'am. Yeah, he seen you on the podcast. If the spirit moves him, if, you know, if it moves me, then I. I promise you. I feel like Atlanta got a lot of things. Yeah, you know, we gotta. We gotta. We gotta figure out what that's gonna. Cuz this will be, you know, this will be our first time doing it like we do our first time doing it live. Well, we've done R B Live. R B Money Live. The event where it's been strictly catered, where it's band, dj, you know, karaoke, vibes, like, really, really dope. We've done that up in Phoenix at Stadium with one of my guys, two spot. So we've done that. But this is for people who like the podcast and enjoy the conversation. Exactly. So this is pod and conversation. So in terms of make. Trying to figure out what makes ours a little different, you know what I mean? We're still formulating that. Well, Saturday, April 26th, 3rd annual Black Effect Podcast Festival. Go get your tickets. Black effect.com podcast for festival. Make sure you check out Tank in Hell's Kitchen with Alicia Keys on Broadway right now. And we appreciate you, brother. I'm reporting on y'all, man. If y'all don't. Y'all don't show up all the time. That's one of my. I enjoy Broadway. Absolutely. Okay. And when I'm not here, you know what I'm saying, I still want to hear somebody say, have you seen Hell's Kitchen? Did you go? Did you. You know, don't make me tell Alicia in Swiss. We'll be there. And make sure you subscribe to the R B Money podcast on the Black Effect. I Heart radio podcast network. That's right. It's Tank. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Yes. Well, no Dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. Charlemagne the. God, I don't know where the hell Envy and just went, but Lauren LaRosa is here and my niece Nyla Simone is here for Pastor Oxygen. Yeah, dj, come spin now. Come spin big Nyla. What's up, guys? I'm glad you here because they've been trolling me all morning, man, about. Well, it's a well calculated, strategic thing they got going on. Taylor came in hand. Taylor was like just randomly. Lauren, you should start dressing like Brandi. Cause you look like Brandi. Even dressed like. Yo, are you like slow or you just like. This is how you are for Halloween. I should be be Brandy. But how is this trolling you? Cuz then she goes, yeah, people say I look like Brandy. And then she goes, and then people say I look like Monica. So I'm just sitting there trying to mind my business. Cuz I know they want me to say something. So I had to say something. I was like, you don't look like Brandy or Monica. You look like Ray J. Yeah. Now what we got today for pastor? What we got, man? First off, shout out to Saint Lounge. I've been doing ladies night every Thursday there, and it's really was a vibe. Last night I had. I had Ken the man in there and Cali in there. So shout out to both of them. Those are my girls. And Ken just dropped the album. And my favorite record on there is called Big Talking. Still in my corner like Gracie are Still in my corner like Gracie. She ate that? Yeah, no, Kim the man hard. She dope. How you know why she ain't popping more? Well, you know, she just got out of a crazy situation, so now she's independent and she's releasing music. Okay, this is her. I thought, because I remember when she got signed, I thought that was like such a good thing for her. No. Well, it was a good thing, but just music industry is shifting and sometimes people are casualties of that. Like that always happened to the people that can actually do stuff like really rap. Really? Because she also, like has a great aesthetic too. She does, But I think Kitten has a, like strong enough fan base that's following her. So all she has to do is just keep going. She's done. There's this record on there with her and Callie. They're like my favorite best friend rap girl duo called I Got questions that I really, really like to make sure you guys definitely tune into that project. But next time we get into to Icewear Vizzle, who dropped his album, I want to say, two weeks ago, but he got this record on there with Big Sean and Skillababy called We're Something, and it's very fire. Salute to Vezzo. You should have put that on my picture. Just post it. Okay. It's okay. I know you got more photos coming, so make sure you. I like that. It's, like, worth something. It's tight. Big Sean gave a really good verse, and icewear verse, though, I feel like was just more better. But. So why you ain't playing Icewear verse, then? Because it's his song. Yeah, but Big Sean has, you know, a bigger name, so I just wanted to get the eyeball. This is my guy, Vezzo. Salute to Ve. Detroit. What up, though? Yes. Shout out to Detroit. And last but not least, I'm gonna take it back home to New York City. I have Abby, Jasmine, who just dropped the R. New York. You from New York. I'm not from New York, but you mean back home home as in we're here. Jesus Christ. Please, please. I'm starting to just think you a little slow. Yo, nobody here from New York. You from Delaware. You from Germany. I'm from South Carolina. I'm not from. What makes you from somewhere from Germany? What makes you from somewhere? Well, you was born and raised, but what if those are two different places? I don't know. Anyway, or. Or at least when I say home, this artist is actually performing at the next Certified Vibe. It's R B night next Friday. It's Abby, Jasmine Journey, Montana. But Abby got this dope record called Uptown. What did those Latinos in the Bronx do to her that she don't want to go uptown no more? What happened? What Puerto Rican man broke her heart? Yo, you ain't. You don't want to go uptown no more at all. It's a dub. I don't blame her. Puerto Rican. He could just be from Harlem. I told y'all. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx, and all of Florida felt that. Can we get a retweet over here? I felt that, yeah. What? But nothing to do with that. Yeah, but if you guys like that record, make sure you guys pull up to R B night next Friday. It's Abby, Jasmine Journey, Montana. You could definitely check them out on the Certified Vibe play playlist. It's on the website certifiedvibe.com. and then we actually are having, like, a rap night that focuses specifically on Rappers who rap.
