They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.

Okay. So we 15 years old. Yes.
- [03:47]
Old. Tomorrow. All right. That's why I say east side. Because I didn't know that we was this young. December 6, 2010, is when the Breakfast Club first debuted here in New York City on Power 105. 1. Amazing. Now, 15 years later, 100 plus markets later. Yeah, we're still around. Period. Yes. And our first show was crazy. It was all over the place. No, it wasn't. We were great. From day one. That's a damn lie. From day one. That's a damn truth. Let's do worst memories. I don't have any. Okay. I knew we was going to be exactly what we are from day one. Am I lying? Envy, huh? Yeah, you did. No, no, no. Always. I didn't have that. That. That faith. He didn't believe in me. No. Had nothing to do with. You. Told him he didn't want to work with me because I get fired all the time. I did say that. See, I did say that. I can see how it was hard to trust somebody at the time. I had two kids, and they were like, right, you and Charlamagne want to work together. I'm like the guy that got fired 19 times. Four. This was four. That's crazy. Then he was like, well, what about Angelique? I'm like the girl with the potty mouth that works in serious. I'm like, this is gonna fail. This is not gonna work out. I said, let's give it a shot. And then look. And then look, somebody was right. Somebody was wrong. And even the syndication thing, Sean was Like, we're gonna be syndicated. We're gonna do this. I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? Right, Right. At some point, somebody's gonna have to start listening to me. Yeah, you're right. Because clearly I know what I'd be talking about. Yeah. Sometimes. But yeah. And salute to all the listeners out there that rode with us through the ups, the downs, the lefts, the rights, the viral moments, the crazy moments. And thank you.
- [05:18]

Okay. The first ever when Ray called in, you know, wilding on Fab when he was on drugs or drunk. So that was early too. That was early on too. Yeah. That was our first big viral. That was our first viral moment. Yeah. Ray J, as a guest in studio was our first guest, was our first person to come up here. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, today. So we're happy to be here.

So we gonna kiss with Christopher Williams. He's been in the industry a long time. I mean, he'll break down how he started, who he dated. He dated Stacy Dash. He dated? Yeah. But the more important, he was a pillar of new Jack swing, which is one of my favorite genres of music. He was a pillar of uptown records, which is my. Probably my second favorite record label of all time. Rest in peace to Andre Harrell. And he's got a new single out called Good Enough and he's developing a new TV series called the book of Akbar. Yes. And a very smart individual, too. We're gonna kick with him a little bit later. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. Can we start with our first. The first person we interview, please? Ray J. There we go. That's the way to start the show today.

- [07:14]
You play with the studs if you want to. Them studs will jump you. He was on the studs back studs, they get the scrap. They ain't always talking about dildos.
- [07:22]
He's on tonight. I'm trying to look it up now, if it's even really said that. I know when I hear studs, Y. When I hear studs, he ice grilling them studs. Salute to Ray J. Man, we celebrating 15 years of the Breakfast Club. Ray J was our first guest ever. Yes, he was also first viral moment ever. And Ray J was. He's actually the perfect first guest because he's flawed just like us. That's right. And we love him in spite of. That's right. All right, well, let's get right into front page news. You know who else? Mimi Brown is celebrating the anniversary because Mimi Brown first appeared on Breakfast Club doing front page news a year ago yesterday. Oh, yes. Happy anniversary, Mimi Brown. It's so good to be with y' all this morning. How y' all doing? We good. Bless Black and Holly. Mimi, not gonna let you start without talking about them Cowboys losing last night. Okay? All right, now. Sorry, Charlama. The Cowboys lost last night. 44, 30. Did you see it? Charlamagne? You know what's so crazy? What? I did stay up for that goddamn night. And it was so funny because I just around the fourth quarter, I went to bed and I was still watching it from the television. Detroit would score. I'd just go back to sleep and open back my eyes and be like, nope, we ain't coming back. Damn it, man. What's up, Mimi? All right. Good morning, y'. All. For a Friday. We've got a lot to get through, so we're going to start this morning with new details in a military operation that's drawing intense scrutiny in Washington. US Military, they carried out another strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat, this time in the Eastern Pacific, killing four men. Now, Southern Command said the vessel was operating in international waters along a well known trafficking route and was run by a designated terrorist organization, though they didn't say which one. And the military also released a short video showing the boat being hit and engulfed in flames. And this latest strike, it happened the same day. Navy Admiral Frank Bradley was on Capitol Hill for a briefing. He was briefing lawmakers about that September 2nd operation in the Caribbean that killed 11 people. Now, Bradley told lawmakers he was not ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hexev to, quote, kill everybody. He also acknowledged that Two of the survivors did not appear to have radios or any way of calling for help, contradicting earlier claims from defense officials. Now, after the hearing, senators who viewed that video, they described very different interpretations of what they saw. House Intelligence Democrat Jim Hines said the footage, it raised serious concerns about what happened out there. Let's listen to what he had to say. What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service. You have two individuals in clear distress without any means of locomotion with a destroyed vessel who are killed by the United States. People will someday see this video, and they will see that that video shows, if you don't have the broader context, an attack on shipwrecked sailors.
- [10:14]
But Republican Tom Cotton, he says he saw something entirely different. Let's listen to what he had to say. The first strike, the second strike, and the third and the fourth strike on September 2 were entirely lawful and needful, and they were exactly what was expect our military commanders to do. I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat loaded with drugs down for the United States back over so they could stay in the fight.
- [10:45]
Well, several lawmakers from both parties are now calling for the video to be released to the public, which is something President Trump says he supports. And since early September, the military has launched more than 20 strikes on suspected narco boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific north, killing at least 87 people. So what are they trying to prove with these videos? Because, I mean, I still don't think that is a fence you should be killed over. Right. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was saying yesterday. Like, it just seems weird to do, like, not arrest them, not put them in front of a judge, no type of due process. Just kill them. This. That's. Wow. And I don't want those drugs in our country either. But I'm just saying, like, is it. Should be. Should it be the death penalty immediately? No. Yeah. And that's something Senator Rand Paul has been talking about repeatedly. Right. The US Has a process. There is a due process. And so they should be going on the boat, seeing what's happening, and then, you know, arresting them if that is the case. So we'll continue to follow that. And there are new developments this morning in the Justice Department's attempt to bring criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James. A grand jury declined to re indict her less than two weeks after the original case was tossed out. Now, James had been accused of bank fraud and making false statements, charges she has always denied. Sources, though familiar with the case, say the administration is already weighing whether to try her a third time. Indictment. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Salutatives, James, though. And I'm just happy that there's still some type of guardrails in this country that some people still give a damn about. Democracy. Absolutely. All right, well, coming up at 7, there's a new app that's taking divine intervention to a whole new level. You want to hear this one? It involves your faith, and your phone will explain in the next hour. 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 is the breakfast Club. Good morning. This is your time to get it off your chest, Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk the way that you talk I hate the way that you dress Everything with me is best call. Up next, 800-585-1051. Not just me, I'm with the culture feeling. Hello? Who's this? It's Randy from Milwaukee. Randy from Milwaukee. Get it off your chest, brother. Man, look, man, I. I've been a really bad guy with my girls the last three, four years, man, and I'm really trying to get her back. She left Tuesday with my kids, man, and. And I get it, man, and. And I'm just. I'm just. I'm willing to do anything in this world to just get my family back in this house, man, and. And I just want to leave her a message. Lucia, I love you with all my heart, and I apologize for how I treat you through the last four years, man. And I'm on my knees every day, praying, trying to get you back. And I just want to throw my kids back in this house, man. So please forgive me for how I treated you. What'd you do, my brother? What'd you do? Did you cheat? No, I ain't cheating, man. I just. I wasn't that emotionally for her, man.
- [13:47]
And it's like. Like, I'm so ambitious in life, and I want everybody around me to be that same way, but people ain't like that, so you got to kind of tend to their emotions. And my girl, she'll stay at home, mom, man, so I'd be expecting too much out of her, not. Not understanding how it is. So. Can't carry two kids, man. And I just was a man, a terrible emotional partner for her, saying bad stuff, man. So it sounds like you didn't Appreciate her, man. You didn't appreciate it. A lot of. A lot of men don't appreciate their. Their wife. They're staying home wife because they forget how much effort and energy it takes to raising those kids and changing diapers and making sure they're ready for school and making sure they fed and making sure they in activities. A lot of times, you're 100% correct. Men take their wives for granted when it comes to that. So. You know, like Charlamagne always says, the best apology is change behavior. And you got to go in there and you got to lay it all on the line like you did here this morning. You go in there and you tell exactly what you want. I want to be back in my house. I want to change. I understand. And. And, well, you gotta be willing to do the work, though. Like, you gotta be willing to do the work. Therapy, a counselor, all of that. Talk to your pastor. Like, you gotta really be willing to do the work. Confessions. Yesterday, I confessed all my sins. I'm setting up therapy sessions, and I just. I gotta be there for my two boys, man. I'm like, so. But I appreciate you guys talking to me, man. Yeah. And also, you gotta do it for the right reason. Right. Cause if you're just doing it to get her back, once you get it back, it changes again. You gotta do it because you want to be a better person, brother. Remember what we said the best. I'm doing it for a lifetime, man. Remember what we said. The best apology is change behavior, bro. All right? And stay consistent, because she probably. It's gonna take a lot because she left. It sound like it was built up like she left. It took a lot for her to leave. Yeah. You know? So just stay consistent. Stay consistent. Okay? And give us some time. Don't be toxic with your, you know, trying to get her back. You know what I'm saying? You got to give us space. When you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours. Don't do the. Don't do the whole. I'm kill myself, baby. Okay? If you don't come back to me, you know? Good luck, brother. Yeah. Thank you, man. All right, man. Look at me telling him something that I did. My Damn. That is so crazy. I'm. Oh, my God. Every man that did that, I'm gonna kill myself if you don't get back with me. Yo, I ain't gonna say every man. That's generalizing. And I was so toxic, because I remember I was dealing with somebody who sent me a Video that was like. And I was like, they was choking himself. Just goofy. Something came up, was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I was like, all right, come on. Listen, man. You don't really love your woman if you don't, you know, fake. Say you're gonna kill yourself to get her back at some point. Just stupid. Don't act like you ain't did it before, Envy. Nah, you're a liar. You already told me. I know. I wrote about it in the book, but it's. You lied about. When you want to get your woman back, you feel like you. You feel like that is the worst thing in the. Like that pain. I'd rather get shot. I'd rather get punched in the face. Like that pain is a pain when you. Especially when it's your own fault, bro. Oh, my goodness. I don't wanna think about it, man. And that's when you realize them other women ain't worth it. Or whatever it is that you did. Yeah. Ain't worth it. Happy anniversary to y' all again. Y' all have grown up real big. Yeah. Dang. Yes. Get it off your chest. 800. I'm about to bring back some old memory.

That's a good question. I have to go look in the archives. I don't know. When we took this turn, we were going straight. We were going straight. We were on a straight path. And then all of a sudden, we just went to the left. We got the ladies with Lauren coming up. We do. Y' all was talking about Ray J and Brandi and Monica this morning. Ray J got reprimanded. I think it's because of our story. We gonna talk. Reprimanded, yes. Who can check Ray J, boo. We gonna talk about it. His mama's sister. Well, it's Brandy. Either one or the other. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. She'll be coming with straight fast.
- [20:57]
She gets him from that knows somebody details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on.
- [21:06]
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Somebody find me my diamond. Lauren LaRosa in here blushing over fake jewelry somebody bought. It's from fashion Nova. Y y. At least I found my diamond. All right, so.
- [21:26]
The Brandi and Monica tour took the stage last night in Atlanta. And this was the tour where Keysha Cole was. She performed with them instead of Maya, who took over for money long. But baby, Ray J got a talking to. Monica had to take his phone. Let's take a listen before we leave here. I am going to take Ray J's phone.
- [21:56]
We love you, Ray. No, y' all make some noise for Ray J. It's not just Randy's brother, but it's my brother now. And all he does he meet with him. You guys know all night. I might have to hear this all night. Monica is my sister now. Like, okay.
- [22:16]
Yeah. So they took Ray J's phone because, you know, that's, like, beloved, though. I do too like that. It was very warm. I really, really like that. Yes. And now Ray J can say Monica is his sister. Yeah. You know. Yeah. That's what's up. But I did have a source reach out to today who, you know, told me that my story wasn't true, but. Oh, wow. Twitter.
- [22:40]
I mean, Twitter was up in arms as well. But no, I can't reveal who the source was, but I stood on my story and I still do. So, you know, but I love those ladies. And I. The tour was amazing. We when we went. So they're going to continue being great. I think. I think that as a Pinket Smith Winfrey knows Carter I think the Carters love Brandy. Yeah, that's what I. That's what. I have a sauce. No, I'm just saying, as a Pinkett Smith, whenever he knows Carter, I believe the Carters love Brandi. That's what's up. It's all. And I just can't. I just don't think the Carters would just walk up in anybody's dressing room unless somebody asked him to come in there. Well, I mean, I did ask my source or the person that called me yesterday. Even if that is the case, why can't you arrange it? Just being as though she's there all the time and why arrange it? You know what I mean? Like, that's not something that she asked to do or that was asked from the other side and they. Well, that's what I mean. Like, you don't. You don't. You don't just walk. You know that, Jeff, you have a meeting. You don't just walk up in somebody's dress. What about that video that's been circulating? That's what people have been talking about behind stage in the hallway. So I did ask the person about that. We talk about this on the latest with Laura Rose at a podcast. Have a full breakdown there. The conversation I had with this person who reached out, But I did bring that up, and they said, what we don't hear in that video. And they were in the video, they say, what we don't hear in that video is Beyonce say, have a good show in passing, and Brandi say, thank you in passing. But that was it. And I asked, were there any other moments whether any side reached out to make them happen backstage behind the scenes that we did not see on camera? Because, you know, Beyonce, they're not leaning into the cameras. And they said they can't speak to that. But, you know, so I. And I made it clear that I, you know, when I said up here that it's not a cat fight, but that you can choose to just be like, hey, I'm good off you. It's all love, but I'm good. I'm still making up stuff. I guarantee you if they catch each other in the hallway, they'll spend some time with each other. I got. Yes, well, we're moving on.
- [24:23]
We're moving on.
- [24:26]
Everybody.
- [24:29]
Yeah. Sounding like that you work for Roc Nation. They did say I was getting a check, but mine was not mine. Not big as yours. You've been there for a long time. Who else is it? Roc Nation, Cardi, who else I work with? You get Cardi you got Roc Nation. I don't remember right now. Oh, Mega.
- [24:45]
I can't work for me.
- [24:48]
And if you work for Mega. And Trump would have came for him like that. I mean, you know, sometimes.
- [24:55]
And Illuminati too, but go ahead. Oh, that's a. That's a fact, though. See, I'm telling y' all right now. I'm confirmed Illuminati. Matter of fact, give me. I'm gonna confirm for the year over. That mean you get literally acting 15 before the year is over. I'm gonna confirm that I'm Illuminati. Okay. Lord Jesus. Well, 50 Cent, in other news, is celebrating his doc. The. The reckoning. Sean. Sean comes the reckoning being not only number one in the US but now number one in the UK. And he posted some flowers. And y' all know 50 love being funny. And the flowers in the comment or the caption says, what kind of gay ish is this? Diddy sends me flowers at Club 11. Laugh out loud. Why all the foreplay? Get busy. You know I'm stupid. What? Wait a minute. What? That sounds crazy. He didn't write that, right?
- [25:43]
That's not the foreplay. Said, why all the foreplay? Get busy. You know I'm stupid. Did he really send them flowers? I don't know. I doubt. Did he send some flowers? I think someone did send him flowers celebrating the success of the doc, and he's just being funny. Yeah, he's just being funny. But he did sat down with. He did sit down, him and Alexandria Stapleton with Ari Melber, and they had a conversation about the DOC, and 50 Cent says that, you know, there's no issue. Diddy is actually his favorite villain. Let's take a listen. My favorite hero and I have a lot of guys, I look up to their accomplishments at point, but I wouldn't call them my heroes. Right. You don't wear another man's jersey on your back. Yeah, yeah. Respect your favorite villain. My favorite villain. I kind of like Diddy.
- [26:26]
That is interesting, though, because to a lot of people, 50 is the villain. But I look at 50 as more. As more of an ant hero, as a person who loves comics. He's more of an anti hero than a. Than a villain. Anti heroes are like Batman. Who else would be a good anti hero? Batman is probably the most. Well, why is it anti hero? Because he's actually a hero. But a lot of people don't, don't. Don't think he is. They don't. They don't really know what his motive is. And that's definitely fifth. That's fifth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he does laugh for people. I was gonna say he's on both sides. He's a villain to some and a hero for something, so. Yeah, but Anti Hero is a perfect. Like a flawed protagonist. Correct. Yeah. Who lacks conventional heroic qualities. Got you. That sound like me. No, you're just a villain. Yeah, villain.

Especially to certain communities. But I try to. Let's keep it positive. Yo, you know how Batman go in the cave and get the scarf? She get the bonnet? No, the scarf. The scarf. That's her cape. The scarf. Well, Iron man, too. Tony Starks would be considered.

Well, 50 Cent 2 also was having a conversation with Ari just about how, you know, they're being neutral in this doc. And he also says that he feels like the. The government overdid it or they overreached. But he talks about the fact that he wishes 50 Cent. I mean, 50 Cent. That Diddy got a chance to be in this doc himself. Let's take a listen. You know, this documentary is about people being able to tell their truth or tell their version of the story. And the only thing I'm. You know, I wish we were able to have. Did he be in the doc so he could have said some things that, you know, make people understand why people are saying these things about him. The outreach went to his team and they gave denials, but he didn't want to participate. Yeah, yeah. He asked him to be in it. I mean, if you're trying to be fair and expect, then he was in it. But. I know, right? He was all over that doc. But then expected him to really be like, okay, cool, I'm gonna go and sit down and do this doc. That's funny. I think that's funny. I think it shows that he. What a matchup we got, y'. All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit chant, echo drum beat. Everybody showing that school pride. Game like this. Yeah. It calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Mmm. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going. This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something.

May 24, 1990 A pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it rip through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe. In season two of Rip Current, we ask who tried to kill Judy Berry and why. She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. The men and women who were hurt had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean it was the number one industry in the area. But more that it was the culture it was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yes. All right, well, when we come back, we got front page news. And also, you know, Charlemagne opens up the phone lines on Friday. Yes. Because it is the people's donkey. So you can call in and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. Okay, so 1-800-585-1051. If you want to give somebody the donkey today, now's your time to shine, baby. It's Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news now, cowboy fans. Where you at? Trav, you ain't called this morning with that energy. Trav, I'm still right here. You know what I'm saying? I'm six' six one. I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan, so I'm used to mediocrity. Like, 6, 6 and 1 is exactly where we should be. Well, the Lions beat y' all last night, 44 to 30. I lost by 14. I'm just mad I stayed up for that game. I don't know why I ain't stick to my routine and take my ass to bed at 9:15, but my dumb ass stayed up watching that game. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mv Josh. Charlemagne. How y' all doing? Peace, Mimi Brown. Good morning. All right, so we start this hour with a major break in a case that has puzzled federal investigators for nearly five years. A Northern Virginia man has been arrested and charged with placing two pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters the night before the January 6th attack. Attorney General Pam Bondi identified the suspect as 30 year old Brian Cole Jr. Of Woodbridge, Virginia. Now, Bondi says Cole is charged with using an extra explosive device and could face more charges as the investigation continues. She also said nothing new sparked his arrest. Investigators simply went back over the evidence already in hand. Let's listen to that. The FBI, along with U.S. attorney Pierrot and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden administration for four long years. Let me be clear. There was no new tip, There was no new witness, just good diligent police work and prosecutorial work. Now, according to court documents, Cole, he worked at a bail bonds office and he lived with his family. Investigators say his cell phone pinged near both party headquarters the night the bombs were planted and a license plate reader spotted his car close by. Now, the FBI along, I mean, the FBI also says that he brought components matching those devices back in 2019 and 2020. The bombs were made from metal pipes, kitchen timers and a homemade powder. They never detonated, but agents said that they were viable. They weren't found until the afternoon of January 6th. By that time, though, police were already overwhelmed with the Capitol riot. And if you remember at the time, then Vice President Elect Kamala Harris had to be evacuated from the DNC as a precaution. So we will continue to see what happens with that case. And now turning to the Supreme Court, the justices have given Texas the green light to use its new congressional map for 2026. Now, this map is expected to boost Republican seats, even though a lower court said it was likely unconstitutional because race played too big of a role in how the districts were drawn. And the map is projected to flip as many as five Democratic seats. In its brief order, the court said the lower court overstepped and violated the Purcell Principle. That's the rule that warns judges against changing election maps too close to voting. Texas Republicans, they are praising this decision. But Democrats and civil rights groups say it further weakens what's left of the Voting Rights Act. And this could ripple beyond Texas. The Justice Department is also challenging new newly drawn maps in California under Prop 50. Now, those maps would give Democrats an edge, and that case is going before a judge next month. Damn. A lot happening. Yes. On Capitol Hill. So that's why it was important for what Gavin Newsom did with Prop 50 in California. Exactly. To counter exactly what was going to happen in Texas. And so we'll see, because a lot of other states now have joined in. We're still waiting on, you know, those maps will be considered legal as we head into the 2026 midterms. Westmore, Maryland, it's on you. What's up? Period. Absolutely. All right. And switching gears here a little bit, menopause is taking center stage this week thanks to Halle Berry. And now speaking of California governor, Governor Gavin Newsom, he's weighing in. I know you all touched on this a little bit yesterday during the latest with Lauren, but now we're officially hearing directly from Governor Newsom. So this all stems from Barry's appearance at the New York Times Dealbook Summit. Charlamagne, you were there, right? Yeah, I spoke on a panel. I spoke on a panel called, I think it was Journalism uninterrupted with a, with a few other distinguished media people. Okay. Well, during that, at the Dealbook Summit, she delivered an emotional speech about how women are treated in Hollywood and in politics. And she called out Newsom directly, saying he vetoed the Menopause Care Equity act not once, but twice. And that's the bill that will require insurance companies to cover menopause and perimenopause treatment and make sure that doctors are actually trained to diagnose and treat it. Now, Barry said that by blocking the bill, Newsom is overlooking women in midlife and ignoring half the population. Let's remind ourselves about what she had to say at that event. Back in my great state of California, my very own Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill not one, but two years in a row. But that's okay because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women half the population by devaluing a in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either, because at this stage of my life, I have zero left to give.
- [38:33]
Yeah. So that backlash, it prompted Newsom's office to issue a statement saying the governor deeply admires Barry's advocacy and that he vetoed the bill because a version on his desk would have raised health care costs for millions of working women. He says he's committed to a expanding menopause treatment without increasing those bills. Shortly after that statement came out, let's fast forward a little bit. TMZ caught up with a governor at Newark Airport, and here's how he responded when he was asked about this situation. Holly Berry had some comments. Do you have any? She had actually just connected with her manager we're ability to reconcile. So we're reconciled. So I've included in the budget next year. She didn't know that. Oh, really? So. So we're recognizing. So how do you. What's your message to women who might have been offended by the bill? Or just what do they not understand about the bill that they shouldn't? They didn't understand. We already were on the process, so we're getting a fix. Hey, drop on the clues bombs for Holly Berry. Absolutely. That call out was worth it. And this is why you should always challenge your elected officials, regardless of if they are in your party or not, are the party you support because Gavin Newsome, like you just heard, is now including the budget for that bill in next year's budget. You know what I'm saying? And you know now somebody should put him on blast publicly about vetoing those reparations bills as well. But it's funny, though, because he goes, halle Berry didn't know that. Yeah, because you didn't do it until after she called you out. That's right. Knock it off. Okay, Cut it out. Trying to act like he had that in the bill before. Maybe he did, but I don't think he did personally. Yeah, well, TMZ said that he did. They said that he was planning to announce it in January, but Barry's comments pushed him to announce it earlier. Well, let me ask you this question. In Mimi, the first statement that his team put out, how come they didn't say that in the first statement? Why they wait until he got caught at TMZ airport? Good point. Good point. Listen, I don't make the news. I'm just reporting it. That's what they said. And he is saying that he had. He planned to do it in. In January, but clearly you're right. That's a really good point. Because if the statement. You should have said that in the statement. In the first statement. Yeah. Holly put that pressure on him, though. Salute to Holly, man. That's good. That's why that once, once again, that's why you should call out and challenge your elected officials, even if they are part of the party you support. That's right.

- [41:56]
I never liked you anyway, pretty. Mr. Christopher Williams, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome. What's up? I'm so glad to have another light skinned brother in here. So glad, man. Brother to the right of you. He hates on us all day, every day. I don't hate. But I did cheer when Nino Brown stabbed your hand.
- [42:14]
On New Jack. He tells me about it. Reminds me about it all the time. Yo. You know Charlamagne has a difficult job. He got the hottest seat in America. How you feeling, bro? I'm great. I'm super great. How you feeling? Everything is good, man. I don't think people realize how much your voice defined an era, you know what I'm saying? Like, how intentional was your sound in the New Jack swing movement versus just being a product of that moment. It was intentional. I mean, I think we were just trying at the time to fuse. My thing was so confusing because, you know, everybody categorized me with Al B. Shaw, El debarge, Chico Shamal, every light skinned dude. I was just saying how that all happened to kind of all resemble the voice of perceived dark skin. Do I sound like Teddy Pendergrass? A little bit. So it was kind of difficult. And I couldn't dance. I'm from the Bronx. I can't even two step. So my rhythm is in other areas. And I just. That was the most difficult thing earlier defining that. And once we got with Stanley Brown and I was able to start honing in on exactly what that meant frequency wise, what it sounded like we came up with dreaming and songs like every Little Thing. And that kind of like set the pace. And then I came home. Cause first I was signed to a rock label. I couldn't get signed in New York because Al B was so hot. So I had to go to la cause the similarity was, you know, really close. Even though we're really different. And I got a deal on a rock label with David Geffen. They treated me like Elvis Presley, but they didn't understand what we make. So I had to come back home to Russell and Andre didn't have to, but Russell and Andre were caught me the whole time. And when I came back home to Uptown and did changes, that's when I think the real defining happened. Because if you look at the timeline of my record in my whole career, a lot of it is misconstrued. Like every dude on that record, from Tony Do Fett to Puff to Devontae to Vincent Herbert to Corey Rooney, Mark Morales, other than Corey Amar, everybody was basically new and we knew what they were gonna be. And we made a record that we thought would compete with records like Ma Ma Mai or Keith Sweat's first album. Cause @ that point those were the. Those were the marks. Like you need to make a record as hot as that first Keith Sweat record or Johnny Gill's My My My. And I thought we did it. But internally there was just a lot of things going on in Uptown. And you know, Russ, Andre, Sol. We at the time didn't really. After the project was made, we didn't see eye to eye. But honestly, Andre was the first guy who saw me as an executive and that lived shortly. It was a short lived thing. And then it was time for me to just move on. Because I kind of like at that point, like I'm. I'm from the Bronx and I'm. You know, a lot of people talk about being from a certain environment, certain circumstances, but I'm really from that. Oh, oh, rest in peace. To Andre Harrell. Andre told me a story one time, man. He said, don't let that light skin and that curly hair fool you with Christopher Williams, okay? He said Christopher Williams was a go. He told me a story. I heard your boy Tyson on here one day talking. I was like, damn, Tyson. Because he told me a story one time. I don't know what you was upset about, but you came to the Uptown Records upset and I don't know, I don't know what you was in there doing, but I know they called Andre. He was on the way to the airport. He said, well, call the police.
- [45:23]
You know, I'm gonna tell you the truth, Charlemagne, back then, I think it's one of the things that I'm on now. You know, we have been taught to knock each other down. And I love Dre with all my. I love Dre to life, man. But, you know, as brothers, sometimes we don't get along. I experience it up here a lot. And I know you have a job to do. You're great at. Well, you guys are great at what you do, and there's a space for everything. But at that time, the rubber had hit the road, and it was only my one career, and I didn't realize how MCA had Andre bent over, for lack of better words. So we have to sometimes look at what somebody else is dealing with with their shoes. But I was young then and full of gas, and I didn't. I just wanted out. And, you know, I basically shut Uptown down. And basically that resulted in Mary getting free, Jodeci getting free. And they were able to go ahead and make. Oh, my God. They were able to go ahead and make Casey and JoJo, because, you know, everybody. You said, make him free. What did you mean, shut it down? Well, there was no more uptown. There was no offices. There was. I mean, there was a paperwork that. That bad deal that Andre had, but there was really no more uptown. The offices were destroyed. There was no up. And I got all the blame for it. I got crucified for it. I got blackballed for it. But for me, what was the blame? Was it you destroying it? Was it? Yeah, yeah. Destroying. You know, just. I wanted out my deal. So basically, for me, at that point, it was like, I'm getting out of my deal. I ain't Kunta Kinte. I don't know Kunta Kinte. There's no Kunta Kinte in me. I'm a person. I'm not a goon, but I'm a soldier. I believe in fair play. But I'm at a point in my life now, and this has happened years ago, where I'm about picking my brothers up. Too many. We've been taught to knock each other down. Everybody has a gift set, so that's where I'm at now. So in hindsight, looking back on the Uptown thing, yeah, I'm open to talking about anything, but I want people to understand that that whole experience at Uptown was dope. Creatively. It was a moment in history. That's my favorite record label ever be created again. Like, if we had to just film the meetings on Wednesday, it's comedy for a century of comedy. Like those meetings on Wednesday. Like, I was there when Jimmy Love was yelling at Puff to go get cheesecake. And that reenacted itself again. And that's no diss to Puff. I'm just saying. Me and Heavy D were like the elder statesman at the label. I was a free agent who came in. Mary and Jodeci, Heav and Father were there, and there were other artists there who had not gotten the light of day at that time, like Anthony Hamilton, Lord Jamal, Terry Robinson and them who went on to write Kandy Rain and a bunch of hits. So there's like a long story in uptown. And to me, it is the second greatest black label other than Motown. And the only thing I think I used to call Andre Baby Berry because the only thing I think Dre was missing was the fortitude to stand up, to make his brand be treated like it should have been treated. Andre's whole deal was cross collateralized. So that's like you guys having a show here and it's successful. You know what your analytics are, and they tell you that your worth is based upon something going on CBS or something. You're like, wait a minute, this is I heart. We have our own thing. So everything was cross collateralized. And that's when I started reading about the business. Not that I had enough, but I started seeing all the landmines in this record game. So not that I wanted to step out and have a long hiatus, but I truthfully never believed that I was gone. And I always knew my career would rekindle. Like when I saw Charlie Wilson come back. I had just done a play with Charlie. We was doing urban theater, and I think they was paying Charlie. And no dis to Charlie. I think they're paying him $2,000 a week. And he had gotten sick. Same thing happened in the urban theater with Ollie Woodson. Ollie Woodson who signed Treated Like a Lady for the Temptations. He was also going through that, and then he got sick, but he died. So I saw Charlie go from the grave back to who he is today. And record company people will say, you know, I knew it. You're lying. You didn't know anything. You had no idea. There was no circumstantial evidence that Charlie Wilson returned like that. But, you know, when you have a gift that's given to you, man can't stop it. That's right. It's just your perspective. You know, the prophet Bob Marley said you only you can free your mind from mental slavery. All this Stuff. I listen to you guys all the time and the topic and political things and, you know, things. You have to. And it's interesting because, again, it all relates back to this system that has been created for us to exist in. People don't realize this whole thing is a system. The Rothschilds and the Rockefellers created the economy. They created Washington. They created the language. They named us what they thought our name should be. And when you start reading and understanding who you really are and going back to oneself, you find real love. And then you can love your brother and your sister. So I believe that, you know, I hear, like, earlier you guys are talking, it's like, well, how do you still have hope? It has to be in. It has to be within. And your perspective has to be yours. You know, it's easy to be a Big Mac. Anybody could be a Big Mac, because you look at what's trending and you go, okay, I'm gonna put two all beef patty, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on me. And then I'm cool. But. But do you really feel like yourself? And biblically, you could. You could relate it to the simulation of David when he went before King Saul. He was like, I'm gonna give you all the gold and the chariots to slay the giant. He was like, I've been slaying giants. You just don't know it. I've been slaying giants. You just don't know it. I come from Eden Wall Projects. I was born to slay a giant. But now I don't slam with this no more. I slam with this. So my journey in this thing and what I mean to the culture, it always touches me. And I'm humble because I really feel the best is yet to come. What said, this is the time to come back. Cause you were going for a long time, and almost like a lot of your history, I don't want to say was not there, but people forgot about you. And even with some of the younger people back here, when we said Christopher Williams, they had no idea. I had to play music and go back and be like, nah, this was his song. This was his other song. I had to show them, and they had no idea. So why the comeback? Well, November 5, 2021, I was sick for the first time in my life. I passed out. And then, you know, I'm a person again. Like a lot of brothers, I don't avoid the doctor, but I'm always looking for indigenous remedy. Okay. You know, so this time, I ran out of Remedies and my kidneys had actually really failed. I was in Vegas with the guys from Cooling the gang. We were opening up the first gaming park. Huge project we were working on, but it fell through. So at the end we packed up and I think the stress of it, and I was with a bunch of retired Caucasian brothers, super cool guys with Amir Bayen. And we were drinking the finest cognacs and liquors and Louis XIII and stuff. And I never been a drinker. I'm a roster. And my kidneys couldn't take it, so I got sick. And then I woke up 24 days later out of a coma. And what's funny is Al started reporting it first. I'll be sure. And then he fell into a coma. And when I came to, I was 130 pounds and paralyzed. Wow. And I was walking around about 200, you know, I'm 61200. That's only 195, 200. So I woke up in hell, you know. But it. It was the best thing, I think that could have happened to me because everything got stripped away from me. Everything. My, you know, I've been paying insurance. Every single thing was like a test for me. It was like revelation. To say, chris, this is what your purpose to do now. Full circle, get out the hospital. I'm not on one pill. My kidneys totally recovered. I'm not on one pill. And all because of me believing that I don't just read things. I really go in and say, okay, let me see how this works for me. And sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it does. But it came full circle because I went in the studio and then I ran into somebody that I hadn't seen in a long time. I Knew a kid, 14 years old named Vincent Herbert.
- [53:19]
So Vincent came to me with a whole staff, acts, writers, producers. And he was dead serious. We were in Edgewater. I think he came to my. I don't know how he met me. I think through one of the girls I was dating or somebody had flown in and he said, I'm gonna be, you know, like Clive Davis. You know, I thought it was funny. A lot of people come to you when you're hot in music. But he has something about him. Cause again, he had a stylist, writer, staff. Faith Evans was a byproduct of that. Kyle McGriffin. And I gave him some bread to go in the studio. He started coming by my house and the rest is history. Now the ironic thing about Vincent Faith is that unlike most people in music, you know, that There's a possession in that. So it's like you owe somebody something. But I believe you sow a seed because I know, I hear Christians say, I know where my help comes from, but you want payback for sowing a seed. So I've never. I've never been like that. So I sow the seed because I know I had windows open for me. I had Grace on me. So to watch Faith Evans and Vincent Herbert and these people that I had been instrumental in having the honor of touching. It came full circle because I said, listen, I just went in the studio events with the Goat, Troy Taylor. Big shout to Troy Taylor. And I said. He said, well, let me check the temperature. I want to see what you're doing. He want to see how you sound. Because you know, do you sound out of pocket? You sound like you're trying to make a record too young or you sound dated. And I played a song for him called Woman of the Year. And that's when we started pursuing it. I found my groove again because I never stopped believing. I never stopped. So in my hiatus, I wrote a movie about my aunt Ella Fitzgerald, which I presented to Vincent. They love it. But the thing that really caught his eye and HBO's eyes, I wrote a story called the Book of Akbar. So I was in a movie called New Jack City. I played Kareem Akbar, where dark skinned dudes snitched on me. Charlemagne.
- [55:11]
He would definitely in court and everything. Why'd he do that? Charlamagne. And that's my man. Like Wes put me in college. People don't know I went to Purchase College. I was in the street. Wes and my next door neighbor lived in an apartment down the hall. Theron Cotton. He went to Purchase College and he knew I could sing. And I used to hang around gq. Cause they're out of my block too. I used to watch GQ play as a youth. Hold on, Chris, you speeding a little bit now. Hold on. Your aunt's Ella Fitzgerald. Wesley's not paying for you to go through college. Tell us about that.

Wesley didn't pay. He got me to go to school. So him and Theron Cotton was like, yo, you're talented. If you stay on this road, you gonna your life up. And I was having my first child at the time, so it was important for me I was paying attention. So I wound up going to Purchase. While at Purchase, I caught the acting and music bug. Actually threw Wes because I got to watch him do a one man play. I'll never forget this. Written by John Williams. Called the River Niger. And I was like, yo, this dude is a supernova. Then he would stop doing the play. And on Wednesday, he was the dj. Wes was a DJ called West. West is best. West is best. And every Wednesday night of south, he would perform and he would vogue all night while DJing. So I caught the entertainment bug there. And I literally at that point was like, I'm not going back to no hustle. I'm not going back to no street active, no nothing. I was dating, and I'm not name dropping. I was dating Stacey Dash at the time. I was going to. That was on my list to see if that was true. We had a child. I was living, and actually I was living. I forgot about this.
- [56:48]
I mean, true. So we were living on 82nd in York. I used to actually wake up every morning and walk by Mayor Koch's house and I would talk to security. So all of this stuff was evolving, and I was seeing my dreams coming true. But at that very summer, it was April, it was spring. My best friend Greg Chandler was murdered on College Avenue. And that changed everything for me. It was like that very second, shut everything down, Went straight to California with Stacy. And that's how I got my record deal. I was hanging out one night in Danceateria. We were visiting for the holidays, and Stacy had Marisa Tomei and Lisa Bonet and all her girlfriends were hanging out with. So Michael Rosenblatt from Geffen Records comes up to me. He's like, who are you? Cause I got a bunch of fine girls with me. I was like, who are you? And he was like, I signed Madonna. And I was like, yeah, and I'm King Tut.
- [57:36]
But the truth was, he had signed Madonna. I never again. I never chased a record deal. It was like the breadcrumbs of my life. So he says, listen, you know, we don't do black music, but I think you're, you know, you got something I just need to hear. Can you really sing? Because at that point, they were gonna sign me sightseeing. Because really because of Al B. Sure. Cause they were like, whether you could sing or not, we wanna sign you. But then I hooked up with Timmy Allen and Fritz Cadet, two old friends who went on to do R. Kelly. Timmy worked with R. Kelly and the Backstreet Boys. But we made two songs, and that got me my record deal. And all along I started singing. So the first attorney tried to jerk me. Then I went to my Aunt Ella. So I'm trying to correlate the story. That was the only Time I ever asked my aunt for help, I asked her for legal help, how to deal with the situation I was in. She referred me to somebody. I got a different attorney. Then I made my first major record deal with Geffen Records, and they treated me amazing. They just did not know black music at the time. They had David Petzon and Ray Parker Jr. And Jennifer Holiday. Those were the acts that were there. And we did good, but not great because they did not understand what to make on me. So a lot of the producers, they were coming, they didn't want me dealing with New York because they didn't really want me going back to New York because of what I was just coming out of. So fast forward, we did a little action on Promises, and the first song, I Talked to Myself, which was a rip of Bobby Brown's My Prerogative. So again, they get me in the office, Talk to Myself ain't even on the record, and they're like, you know, they got everybody there shooting a spiel. They got the stylist with Bobby's pants, the barber who cut Bobby's hair. But I was like, I'm not doing that. I can't do it. But then they gave me a check for 100,000, and I said, okay, let's. Let's go sing. Talk to Myself. So we did that. It was a long break. I remember trying to break the record. And this is music language. Back then, you had to break the record at radio. It took us about 14 weeks to make Breaker. We finally did it, and then it was like, okay, we got something. Then I dropped a song I wrote called Promises, Promises, which was really the prelim to smile again for Bel Biv Duvall. That sort of launched my career and kind of separated me from the other people they were mentioning against, because they were like, wow. Based upon what? Promises is the frequency and Promises. This dude can sing. He can sing. Sing. Did Wesley get you in New Jack City or did you. No, I auditioned with Pat golden and won it. But the great thing about it was when they told me I got the job, they were like, nino Brown is gonna be played by a guy named Wesley Snipes. And again, this is the breadcrumbs of my life where I'm like, yo, this. This is crazy. This can't be. And I remember seeing Wes in front on 125th street in front of the old floor Shine before they closed it out. And we were laughing about British walkers not being in style anymore. And he was like, yo, this is gonna be so dope to Shoot the movie. Now, by the time we shot the movie, my record was blowing promises in the first album, and my st. My star was shining. So by the time we got to shoot New Jack, they couldn't even put me with the rest of the cast because they were knocking my trailer over, chasing us. It was. I was getting the Bobby Al B. Shore treatment. And that's what I used to call it, because that's what I. That's where I first witnessed the power of music for my own. Like, I'd seen it through Michael Jackson and obviously my aunt being Ella Fitzgerald, but I'd never seen it for me in my own eyes. And when I saw Bobby and got a chance to be cool with him, I was like. The pandemonium he would cause was crazy. Bobby was the king, and Al B. Was the prince, and I was the enigma. And those times were great. And that's kind of how it came about. New Jack was gonna be that big. Yeah. Nah, nah, I didn't. I mean, it's a staple, and, I mean, it's iconic. Yeah, it's iconic. Cultural impact. Yeah. And, you know, it's funny, now that we're shooting the Book of Aqua, it's funny to see that, you know, New Jack was originally written by a Caucasian, bro. Really? Yeah, Dwight. And they had Barry Michael Cooper, Rest in Peace, Barry, rewrite it. And I was originally Gee money, really? But kudos to my brother. I was on Al Heyman's Superfest, the Budweiser Super Fest. And, you know, I wasn't gonna break my deal with Al for one. New Jack wasn't paying, like, the Super Fest. Right. And I wanted the opportunity. But I. Cassandra Mills at the time, who was my manager, she got George and Doug to agree that if I did Dreaming, she had found this song from Hiram Hicks and Stanley Brown. If I did dreaming, could we create a character? And, you know, I think we all were like, yo, there's no 5 percenters of Muslims or anything like that. So they created Kareem Akbar. And that's how I became Kareem akbar. And now 30 years later, I wrote the Book of Akbar. What is that? What is that about? So Kareem's coming out the feds. So at the end of the movie when the tapes were stolen and they were making deals, Kareem actually, in real time, had his own deal with the real cartel, and he basically took the money that was stolen and invested in gold and silver bars and Bitcoin, which was actually around then, but we didn't know about it. So Kareem stays 10 toes down with the cartel. He doesn't snitch on anybody, Italians or the Mexicans. He comes out 20 some years later, he's a made man. But he's an interesting character because Kareem is really like Abubakari. His perspective is to take this street thing and build the youth so that we have a different perspective about each other. So it's a duel between good and evil the whole time. And the young people that we got slated, I want Davies to play Mustafa, who's Kareem Akbar's son. We got a boogie with the hoodie slated to play Nico, who's the illegitimate son of Nino, which Kareem raised. And then you find out later what a matchup we got, y'. All. This is that classic HBCU non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride. A game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.
- [63:40]
Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere. And in ice cold Coca Cola, that's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

May 24, 1990. A pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it. I felt it rip through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe. In season two of Rip Current, we ask who tried to kill Judy Berry and why? She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. The men and women who were hurt had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area. But more that it was the culture, it was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of rip current season two are available now listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
- [67:14]
On. It's not really Nino sun, but that's one of the twists Ice T is interested in still being Scotty. He's now internal Affairs. So it's a. It's a. It's a crazy twist. Talking about a New Jack City sequel and everything I was hearing was corny, but that's hard. And they waited too long. Like we all in our late 50s and some of us in our 60s, what we gonna do? The geriatric street movie, right? You would have got about 30 years. This is about, right?
- [67:43]
The whole CM. You was the leader of the CMB, you'd have got about 35, 40. Yeah. So we, we basically did it like that. And the story has so much more. Again, this story in 100 episodes will go from what we loved in New Jack to a new perspective. It's going to be modern chemic, and it's something that we've not seen on television before. Imagine a world where we all were who we really are, where nothing was taken, nothing was indoctrinated, nothing was nothing. No identities, no anything. Like really understanding who we are and living in real time in it. Did you know film in New Jack City, that the characters in New Jack City were going to be as big as they were? Like your Chris Rock shit. Yeah, of course. I see. But as an actor, Wesley, as an actor. G Money as an actor. Did you see that? I'm not going to lie. Envy. I didn't. We were having fun, man. It was like, you know, again for me at the time, too. I really didn't get the whole gist of the movie because I had to be separated a lot. Yeah. Because it was disruptive to the shooting. Like, I remember once we were shooting at the Carter and our trailers were right on 117th Street. They knocked my trail over. Like, literally. They was like, we're getting in. Damn, we're getting in this trailer. All women. Well, I hope so.
- [68:59]
Keisha ain't had no daughter. No. But what we do have the guys in is that getting the rights is that he has trouble sleeping after all these years. He did four years in shoe at different times. And I'll explain why he had to do four years in the shoe. Because Nino sent people to kill him. There's a. There's a small twist. Nino's not dead. Okay, okay, I heard that. So. But the thing is, Wesley's never wanted to do another gangster thing. Because even when we're trying to make new Jack 2 was always west saying, I don't want to do another. I'm not interested. I'm not. And even though he did the dependable, so, I mean, this is a small joke. I don't. If, like, if you're gonna do the dependables, you should do it. So we never got to do it. And then time went on and we would hear other things, and then all of us were kind of like, nah. So basically the main people are dream sequence. Because Kareem is an interesting dude. Like, his whole mannerisms. He's gonna remind you of, like a cross between Denzel and the Equalizer and Abu Bakari. Cause his forward thinking is like Billy Carson or Yaqui awakens, and his nutrition is like Aries Latham. He's an indigenous dude who's been stripped of everything, kind of like Christopher Williams. But through that, he's not bitter. It makes him better. He gets a different perspective about oneself. So he's able to interact with people differently. How he takes everything in life different. Everything that you're Saying right is perfect for your album. War and Peace. Of course. You teaching through your music. Yep. War and Peace. And because. And that comes out 2026 in March 26th in March. One piece. And I think that it's really a perfect depiction of. We try to assimilate, especially with a Christopher Williams record. I think me and Vince, and Vince sees me, he knows how to assimilate who I am as a man. And the message in my music, we're not taking the romance or the good feeling out the music, but there's an assimilation in each message. War and Peace. Who's going to win peace? Is it a song on the album called Breadcrumbs? Because you love saying breadcrumb. Oh, Vince, you love a little bread. Well, yeah. You know, it's funny day the other day, Vince was having a conversation and I said, rebirth. He wrote a song. Rebirth.

Don't worry about no food.

Christopher Williams listening to Good enough. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Salute to the OG Christopher Williams. All right. Yes, that. That book of Akbar series that he created sounds incredible. Yes, it does. And the fact that all of the major players from New Jack City are still alive, and it would actually make so much sense because if he's just coming home from a 30 plus year bid, that's crazy. Oh, my God. Yeah, that'll be dope. That one gonna be good. All right, we in there with that. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fan.
- [71:43]
She gets him from 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 you.
- [71:53]
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the ladies club.
- [72:02]
All right, y', all, so we're gonna go back to last hour because Charlamagne just came and yelled at me. They said I don't yell. They said, y' all be treating me like Meg from Family Guy up here. No, but don't fight back. You'd be fighting for your life every day. Oh, Stewie headbutted Meg in the nose one time and made her bleed. You know, you're. You have never, like, headbutted me, but you get a little sharp with that tongue over there, especially when it comes to that ball spot. I'm like, okay, come on. Because maybe like, his whole head ain't a whole spot. But I wanna. I did want to go back because I missed a comment from 50 cents. So y' all was real confused when I read the caption. But yeah, I said yesterday. But when I was talking about the flowers that 50 is saying that Diddy sent him at Club 11, he commented again and said, this is a warning. I'm 90s grimy. You don't warn me. So his original comment, he said that too, though. What was the original? He said, what kind of gay ish is this? Did he send me flowers at Club 11? He's talking about 11 in Miami. Laugh out loud. Why? Why all the foreplay. Get busy. You know, I'm stupid. Yeah. Meaning like, you know, forget all of the. The foreplay. Like, let's get to that. Let's get to it. Let's get to the action. Like, you know, and that's. So he had to clarify. What do you mean?
- [73:10]
All I'm saying, I don't know if that is true or not, but if Diddy really sent 50 flowers, then that is letting me know. Did he not making no scratch to actually change behind bars because there's no way you still trying to intimidate people from prison.
- [73:24]
There's no way. It's a night. There's sunflowers in here. Is that intimidating? But it's still. You get what I'm saying? I know. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. If he did send it, I mean, he said don't want him. He had 90s grimy. One thing we know he didn't do is record him sending it. Because he can't. Well, no, they've been taking pictures. But don't you think that's. No, but just think about when the footage of Diddy and the DOC recording himself before he go to jail. Yeah. And the arrogance of that. And you sending if. If this is true, you send in flowers from. From prison and 50, you still trying to do intimidation tactics, right? Like, what's up, bro? And even if. Even if it was not intimidation, if it was just a joke, like don't like sit back.
- [74:05]
Just be. Just sit there. But we saw in the DOC that a lot of his focus isn't where it needs to be. A lot of he worried about too much of the wrong things. You better worry about getting your soul right, brother. Find some real healing. Yeah. Well, going back to this hour, I mentioned last, at the end of last hour that Men in Black might be returning. So after the Bad Boys franchise returned and it was super successful, Men in Black might be coming back because Sony Pictures is looking to bring back Will Smith in the black suit in the shade so sources tell Deadline that, you know, there's no talent attached as. As of right now, but Bad Boys for Life writer Chris Bryn Moore or Brenner is on board to pin the next install in the sci fi comedy franchise. So there's a script that they're putting together right now, and even though Will Smith has not officially signed on, they plan to give him the script first to look at and to see if he wants to be involved. I don't know if I would want to see another Men in Black, I was going to say. What do they. They're trying to figure out the plot. So they're trying to figure out if the plot is them coming back to, like, you know, pass on the torch or do they just reprise their roles? Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, do they reprise the roles? And just like, I think that was a time and place. I just. I wouldn't want to see that. Especially being that we know aliens already walk amongst us now anyway. I mean, that would be a good. Oh, you know what? No, that's kind of what they was doing anyway. But it. See, obviously, you know, I'm in the aliens and extraterrestrials, so my whole Instagram feed is always showing me different things that y' all don't see. So aliens are already walking amongst us. So, I mean. Yeah, you know, it's a creative way to. It's a creative way that they could execute it. You know what I mean? Like, but I don't think I want to see that. Yeah, maybe it could be from another planet. Oh. Or they could be. See, like ice ages. Right. And they really running down aliens like the aliens that are walking amongst us. But there's some aliens that are here legally and some illegally.
- [75:54]
Because we got these. We got, like, these extraterrestrial treaties. So some actual extraterrestrials are living here on Earth now. But the MIB gotta go round up the illegal ones. Yeah, but see, but the Men in Black was. It was. It was not just the movie. It was the Music Man Named Black. You don't want to hear that now. Yeah, but you don't want to. Was corny, funny. Like, that was fun. I don't want to hear the Men in Black now and Will Smith and 50 doing men in Black and doing the dances. I don't want to see that now. I don't. I don't. I don't. I wouldn't. If they make a new Men in Black, I'm watching it. I will watch it, too. And I'm gonna. I will Watch it, too. And y' all will as well. And I definitely will watch it if you're in it. I champion you for that. Now, in other news, changing gears, Summer Walker says that she planned to get her ribs removed. Let's take a listen.
- [76:37]
What was the first thing you did when you got off tour? When I got surgery. Did you? Yeah, I love surgery. Long surgery.
- [76:47]
What did you get done? I got my redone for the fourth time. My lipo for the second time. I wanted to remove a rib. They wouldn't let me, Summer, because I had an album, video and all this press and you have the tiniest waist, though. But not to you, right? I was going to. Well, salute to l' Oreal in the morning Hustle. What is the. That's what that clip came from. What's the benefit of a woman getting their ribs removed? I know guys get their ribs removed so they can, you know, give themselves fellatio. I think they. They do. You do it to get your waist snatched. I think it makes your waist smaller for women that do it. They always said that Janet Jackson did it, right? That was the biggest rumor back in the day.
- [77:26]
There was a rumor out there that Janet Jackson make a waist. That was a huge rumor. Back spilling tea.
- [77:33]
I used to work with Wendy Williams and never heard that one. Damn you spilling that tea. Well, I' ma say she loves. She loves surgery, so, I mean, it's not shocking. I mean, it would be stupid, though, to be honest. She already. Her ways already. Like, she's already got to come out. Them hips is out there like, oh, what? Like, they were just, like, slapped right there. You know what I mean? So why more fat people don't get their ribs removed so you don't have to buy two seats on Southwest? They already. I'm asking a question. I've never heard that from before. We've heard of OIC and we have, like, the gastric bypass. I ain't never heard nobody getting a ribs removed. If somebody get fat and you get your ribs. Yeah, you're still fat around your ribs. You got to lose the weight, and then you can do that. What fat people do when they get rid of the ribs, they give them the outback or something?
- [78:16]
I'm just. No, it's been 15 years, and you still ain't learning to lead on people alone. I'm asking legitimate questions here. People. Don't you. Didn't somebody tell you to talk to fat people about these things? Why do you keep asking people questions like go straight to the sources? This be more Respectful. And the scary part is, which I'm missing is she said she loves surgery. That's the scary part. That's the part that she'll never be focused and satisfied with herself. Right. Because she'll keep going to surgery. Like body dysmorphia or something like that. Yeah. I think, too, though, a lot of those surgeries, you got to keep them up after certain years. Like, I know you got to get your boobs done again after certain years or whatever. So, you know, I think it's just that, too, like, you get used to keeping yourself looking. How many ribs you gonna remove?
- [78:57]
Like, you know, that was the catwoman lady, right? Like the cat lady. Yeah. She just kept getting surgery, kept getting surgery, kept getting surgery because she was addicted to surgery. Crazy body. Gonna look crazy after a while.
- [79:08]
Gonna look crazier after a while. It's gonna be the craziest.
- [79:20]
Yeah. Let's wrap up. We're not going back there again as we wrap. I did want to just make sure I saluted Big Sean and Usher. They teamed up. They're investing a million dollars into the Detroit youth with a new program that they have called Detroit Entertainment Innovation Incubator. So it'll distribute them $1 million through Michigan Central Boys and Girls Club out of southeastern Michigan. That's set to open in February 2026, and in. And this program will focus on teaching emerging industries, so AI 3D and a bunch of other immersive technologies. And they'll have an in, like a. Like inside of the Boys and Girls Club, there will be a state of our art virtual production studio, an SFX lab, and they'll be able to, you know, do all these things in a creator's lounge. So love it. Yeah. That is fire. Shout out to them. Dropping a clue bombs for big shiny. That's it. That's what I'm talking about. You don't gotta wait on nobody to do nothing for us. We can do it ourselves. That's right. You better go do something for yourself. You need to go talk right to the people and stop talking about them people. That's the latest with Lauren.

So you want to ask people their favorite moments? Yeah, man. Call in and tell us some of your favorite Breakfast Club moments over the last 15 years, man. 800-585-1051. Let's do it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
- [88:02]
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club now. It is our 15 year anniversary, and we're asking, what is your favorite Breakfast Club moment now? Jess. Yeah. What was your favorite Breakfast Club moment? I can't. I can't say it because it was. It was before I got here, but I can't say it because Shorty is cool with me. But I. That Charlemagne makes Mike cry. And it was the funniest. Ish. But it wasn't funny to her. I didn't make. I didn't make her cry. Yes, you did. You know, you know, her dad stepped to me. No. Yes. Absolutely. Everybody know who y' all talking about. Y' all know. Y' all talking about Little Mama. But God damn. Like, that is not a good Breakfast Club, man. Man, I don't care, man. She said, man, everywhere I go, people tell me I'm sexy. Charlotte was like, I've literally never heard that.
- [88:56]
What? I was a totally different person back then. And I was on drugs, you know, he was never on drugs. Nobody. Yo, you don't tell somebody that. If somebody say, yo, everybody always tell me I'm sexy, you don't say. I've literally never heard that. Even if you didn't hear it, you don't say. But it was the way he said it. It's hilarious to me. Yeah, well, yeah, she my girl. So I. You know, her dad said to me one day, I was in the city. I think her dad did construction at the time. Yeah. And he seen me sitting in the car and they all surrounded the car. It was. Yeah, it was. It was crazy. Crazy. Damn. Salute to little mama. Yes. It was a little mom and family. I think one of my favorite was. It was. It was Us being stupid, right? And we had a meeting up here. This is the only time we ever been written up, right? We had a. There was a meeting, and. And it was like a break between the meeting. So we went and got breakfast, and we finished our. Our meal, and Charlemagne was like, yo, we'll be late for the meeting. I was like, man, the party don't start until we walk in. Oh, wow. We got into the meeting, everybody was there sitting down, listening. We walking late. And it was like, you're late. I was like, the party don't start until we walk in. Oh, wow. Next day, we got written up. Crazy. Yeah. Stupid E is still a job. You funny as hell. I don't have one particular Breakfast Club moment, but I will say I like Breakfast Club 2.0 a lot. And maybe it's just a lot of recency bias, but, you know, adding Jess, hilarious, you know. You know, bringing Lauren LaRosa on as senior news producer. I just think it's been really dope to watch how. How, you know, both of them have been flourishing in their. In their positions. Even somebody like Sim, you know, I mean, Sim being here for seven years, starting off as an intern, you know, moving up the. A production role on Breakfast Club to a production role on Black Effect, but now being the music director from Power 151, those are the things that I like, because, you know, this is what the platform is about, right? For me, creating Breakfast Club is to, you know, create something that. That empowers other people. And I. When I. When I look at those three, you know, different stories, I think that's what the. The platform is all about. Even watching, like, somebody like Nyla be able to come up here and do past the aux, and that turned into, you know, one of the largest showcase of new artists all across the country. And her to be able to create a whole other brand because of that. To me, those are my favorite moments on. On Breakfast Club. No. All right. No, I take back the little mama thing. Yo, the Ray J and fabulous. That was crazy. I'm sorry. That was. That was our first viral moment, man. That was. It was funny because when he called, this is when we put him on live and was like, yo, Ray J, just don't curse. He was like, I bet the first thing he did was curse that mother effort. Oh, it was. It was. That was loud. That was crazy. And he called from. From Vegas that time. That was. That was a moment. We got Calvin on the line. Calvin, what's up, yo? What's up, man? What's Your favorite Breakfast Club moment, bro. All right, First. First and foremost, I want to say DJ Envy. Do not hang up on me, man. Okay. Darnell, when he was clowning you about your boy. I don't want to call his name. So good. He got kind of caught up in a little trouble. Yeah. And.
- [91:54]
Darnell just went in on you because, I mean, you know that time he was doing that little book thing or whatever, that fake book thing. Yeah, he had a little pamphlet he was out there with Big punk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [92:11]
Man, that joke was so crazy, man. That just had me rolling.
- [92:18]
The Breakfast Club that you. Every time you come to say it's fun. Donnell tell you what I did. What he did to me one time? No. So Donnell invited me to his show, him and Dave Chappelle. I go to his show, he says the tickets are at the front. I go to. Whoa, what a vibe we've got, y'. All. As always, it's classic HBCU energy. Nonstop action, the band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chants, echoing, drums beating, everybody showing that school pride. Moments like this, yeah, they call for an ice cold Coca Cola. Crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Mmm. Yeah, that taste always hit the right note. Just like the band at halftime. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the place, no matter the moment, Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going. This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something.

May 24, 1990. A pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it rip through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe. In season two of Rip Current, we ask who tried to kill Judy Berry and why? She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. The men and women who were hurt had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area. But more that it was the culture, it was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of rip current season two are available now listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
- [96:17]
In the front to get the tickets, a lady comes out and was like, there's no tickets for you. Nobody knows who you are. We need you to leave. I said, what? She was like, we don't know who you are. You need to get off line and go home. Everybody's looking now. I start wilding out, you know, I gotta go. I was like. Like that. You don't know who I am. And then Donnell comes out laughing with the camera and everything. That was an ass, man. Hey, yo. Hello. Who's this? This is Karen, Michigan. Good morning. Good morning. What's your favorite Breakfast Club moment? The first time. Which one? Which one time? I like the last one.

And I love it. Okay. Thank you, brother. Oh, somebody said the John. Somebody in the chat said the John Witherspoon interviews was legendary. By the way, those are some of my favorite Breakfast Club moments too, man. Because you think about it, we've been on for 15 years. Think about how many people that have passed away. Yeah, right. The John Witherspoons, the Nipsey Hussle, the Max Millers, the DMX's Charlie Murphy, Prodigy from Mob Deep, you know, take off from the Migos, like, you know, having. Having those conversations that, you know, a lot of people go back to now whenever they want to reminisce about these artists. Angie Stone. Those are great moments. Yep, said Mac Miller. Those are great moments too. Young Dolph, man. Rest in peace, young Dolph. Young Dolph is my most listened to artists on Apple this year, by the way. Hello? Who's this? Hey, this is Kobe from Cynthia. What's up, man? What's your favorite Breakfast Club moment? Man, all I gotta say is I appreciate y'. All. I've been listening to y' all style the little kid. Appreciate you all. Jeff Charlamagne, dj. Thank you, man. I don't know why y' all be letting them play you like that Charlamagne. You be trying to get on my man too much. I'm light skinned too. Dominicans ain't. Dominicans ain't gay. Even though he'd be light skinned, I said, whoa, whoa. I've never said that. I've never said Dominicans are gay because they're light skinned. I've said that. Indy is a light skinned gay Dominican. Those three things have nothing to do with each other.
- [98:15]
You got one and three, right? So the comma after each one of those light skinned comma gay comma Dominican period. Oh, my goodness. Another moment. Yo, when Charlotte, when you ask Gary on about them side Joe, that's crazy. When he was asking him. No, no, no, no, no. You ask him about the same. You did ask him about the Kevin Hart. No, you asked Kevin Hart, but no Gary on when you made him choke. You asked him. You asked him. That was on Br. Idiots. Oh, damn. Yes, that was. That was on. Hey, salute to Kevin Hart, though. Kevin Hart sent up a bunch of your carmino grand caramino tequila. I think it's Coramino Cora. This is Kev's tequila Grand Coramino tequila. You know, Kev is one of our favorite guests on Breakfast Club. Yes, Kevin bought all the original chairs in the other Breakfast Club studios. He bought the chairs. That's why we have him on the wall with a chair. Sitting in the chair. Yeah, he's sitting in the chair. Yep. We have T on the line. T. Good morning. Hey, y'. All. Hey, T. What's up? What's your favorite moment? I really miss when you and Charlemagne would do the Friday morning song. Oh, man, a lot of people say that. Come on, y'. All. Yeah, we used to have fun doing that. And we used to do that. We used to do that live, too. Like, we used to have a lot of fun. Crazy with y'. All. Yeah, we might bring it back one day. Yeah, that's what's up. Thank you, team. All right. Thank you. God bless y'. All. We need new Friday joints, though. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's Friday. I'm looking for eater. Oh, my goodness. Hello. Who's this? This is Janice Parker. How are you? Peace. Peace, peace. Good morning. What was your favorite Breakfast Club moment? Thank you very much. So my greatest moment was the way you shook up the industry by saying Angela Yee was leaving. And then you guys really gave her her props for moving on to the next. I thought that was very mature. I thought it was very nice the way you sent her off to her next endeavor. And me being a business person, I know sometimes you don't want to see him leave, but you gotta let people grow. So that was a special moment for me, and I thank you guys for still supporting her, which I know you do. And then we got two amazing, two more women to balance you guys out. I agree. I want to please say happy anniversary to the two ladies that came on. Jessica and Lauren. Balance the show. And I love it. No, thank you very much. And I agree with you wholeheartedly and that that was a great Breakfast Club moment because it shows, you know, how big the Breakfast Club is, how powerful the Breakfast Club is, that one of our original co hosts can go off and do their own, you know, spin off show. Like, you know, different world. Couldn't happen if it wasn't for Cosby Show. Yep. The game couldn't happen if it wasn't for Girlfriends. So that's how I look at the Breakfast Club. And I love the fact that that two women could come here and. And bust ass and keep it moving. Yeah. So I love that as well. Before the record, there's always been a whole bunch of women that work here at the Breakfast Club. I mean, on air. Yeah, on air and on air. Well, on air, it was always just Angelique, but it was a whole bunch of women behind the scenes.

Well, he called actually the Somalians garbage. Come on, man. That's. That's. That's a little reckless. So let me ask a question. You clearly listen to the Breakfast Club quite often, right?
- [102:08]
Because you have these casual listeners who say, I never criticize Republicans. And actually, you have people who listen to us a lot who say, I never criticize Republicans, but that lets me know they don't really listen. Hey, you know, some people are just. You know, some people are just blind to the fact. Yes, sir, this guy is reckless, and he. I mean, they really need to check and see if this man got dementia or something. Damn. He's. He's like, really? I mean, come on, now. Garbage. That's. That's clearly racist. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you, brother. How you doing, Jess? I'm good, baby. How you doing? Another thing.

I challenge you to find a show, a radio podcast, that has had more diversity of thought on than the Breakfast Club. You know what I'm saying? Tv, too. Tv, radio, podcast. Right. We have had so much diversity of thought on this show, especially black. Diversity of thought from intellectuals, the politicians, the business people, the transgenders, you know, whatever. So a lot of some conversations y' all enjoy, some conversations y' all don't. But I just ask you, I challenge y', all, go find somebody that's had more diversity of thought.

Hip Hop Stud is crazy. That's his way of saying he like my jacket Fire. I touched you that last night. I wanted it. I'm like, yo, get me one of those right now. But you had already left. Well, you got that from the Mass Appeal Pop up shop, right? Yes, it's like a pop up shop slash, like, museum. So they have like these activations where they recreated different historical things. Like they have like Slick Rick's chair. You can take a picture in the chair. They did a room for Supreme. I'm sorry. DJ Premiere, it did a room for Ghostface. They did like the subway thing. Got a ghost face room. It's not like rooms. They're like, you can just take a picture with merch. It's like the merch is in the front and then everything else is activations in the back. I need. I need you to make a run for me today. Make a run for Unk, man. Can you make a run? You make a run. That was your first time meeting NASA? That was the first time you met Nas? Yeah, yeah. That was my second time meeting Nas. I actually, we brought him to. When I was in St. John's I was in Hariah, which is the Black Student Union, and we brought Nas on Campus dope. So I met him then, but I didn't feel like doing the whole like, hey, we met before. I was just like, let me get this picture. You know what I'm saying? That jacket Fire, that sound like unc heaven. And honestly, the mass appeal activation is just really like. If you're a hip hop fan, you're probably like, how you're acting is how I was acting. I'm like, I need that, that, that. They have vinyls, cassettes, little. What's that jacket called? Figurines. Huh? What's the jacket called? Where is it? You got it for free? No, I didn't get it for free. I did get a look. Where is the store? It's in Soho. It's where stadium goods used to be. It's a ticket. It's. It's expensive. Well, it was expensive. Tell me the number. Okay. It was like 350. God damn. I know. That's good. That's cool.
- [109:08]
That's real. Okay. Okay. I want to start with some rap since we're in the spirit of mass appeal. All right, Rome Street's Conducted Williams. This is called Rule 480, which I thought was cute because it's a flip off of Q tips. Industry execs are shady. Ooh, I like that. I like that. You know what I'm saying? Maybe I'll grab my bottle, throw my hoodie on. You know what I mean? Walking on the train in the rain. It's a shame. You think life's a game but you got no one to blame.
- [109:34]
That's hard. That's hard.
- [109:37]
We need that on the table. That's trash. You thought he was trash. You was trash. No, I don't know what em you talking about. I thought that record was tough. He said it was trash. I said you were trash. You was trash. I like the beat, but definitely yes. Shout out to conductor and shout out to Rome streets. And I also just thought. I like the play. Obviously off of the Q tip line, but, you know, in light of, like, the Diddy Doc and him just talking about artists owning their music, I'm like, you know, kind of a great. I like it. Okay, next, your girl dropped Glorilla. She dropped two records, actually. So one of the records is called March Never trash. Flash in the ass. Oh, Flash. That means fastball for big Glow. That's how we can take. Tired of glow voice. Yeah, I love like. I love glow voice. Glow flow. I like. I don't get tired of it. Never trash. Flashing the ass. That means fast lightning. Tighten it we need to get you in the booth. Keep going. All right. Yeah. Because I don't like the face. The second song is called Special, and it's more like of a softer record. You know, our girls in love, so. But I figured this Glow. There's another Glow record.
- [110:43]
Oh, it's Glow. I said our. No, no, no. I was saying she dropped two records today. I just played one one. The other one is a more softer record. Okay, okay. Yes. But the last song is a.
