All right. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news with Mimi. She's here. And now let's get in some front page news. Start off quickly with some sports. Now, Caitlin Clark announced she will miss the rest of the WNBA season. Now this is due to injuries, so she's going to miss the season. Angel Reese, she got a one game season over. The season almost over. Now I think they start the playoffs in about a week or two. Now Angel Reese, she got a one game suspension by the wnba. That's for picking up her eighth technical foul. Shoot. The season almost over. Damn you. More games they got left. 1. Speaking of season over, the Cowboys lost last night. The Philadelphia Eagles beat them 24 20. How does that mean the season is over, sir? Yeah, you act like the Giants not going to be 01 after Sunday when they play the Redskins. I'm not talking about us. I'm talking about you. I just want you to realize your hypocrisy because you're going. You're going to have to deal with this. We don't win Sunday, we winning Sunday. That's what you believe. I believe that. Okay, I agree. Your team play Sunday and huh. The rescues. Oh, okay. The Giants and Cowboys will be looking up at the Eagles and the Redskins in the NFC east all year long. We're winning. And what's the brother's name that got suspended yesterday? He got kicked out the game. Jalen Carter. Jalen Carter? Yeah. Jalen Carter. Who plays? I went to bed after the delay. Once the delay happened, I went to sleep. I'm like, you know, I'm too old to be staying up to be. They said they weren't. When did the game even start back? Come on, man. Nobody got time. Now, this is the crazy thing about it. Jalen Carter, he was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott right before the first snap. It was crazy. He spit on him. He thought Dak Prescot Prescott was spitting on him. Dak Prescott said, no, I spit on the floor. And the gentleman spit on him and he was kicked out the game. Now, there was a delay yesterday because of thunderstorms. I woke back up at 11:30, said 8 minutes left, and I was like, what? This is a long ass game. I went right back to sleep, but. Morning, Mimi. Good morning, y'. All. All right, so we're going to start on Capitol Hill this morning, where Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Faced a contentious Senate hearing, going head to head with lawmakers over vaccine policies, recent CDC shakeups, and the administration's broader approach to public health. Now, senators, they grilled Kennedy on vaccine safety, federal health guidelines, and its leadership changes. At the cdc. The exchanges, they grew pretty heated, with lawmakers accusing him of undermining public trust, while others defended his effort to increase transparency and reshape the federal health policies. Among the toughest critics, though, was Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, who represents the state where the CDC is headquarters. Warnock slam Kennedy, calling him the biggest threat to the health of the American people. Let's listen to that exchange. Despite your lack of credentials and expertise, clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs, which is why you attempted to fire on the world. I'm not the sickest people on earth. I'm speaking. How am I? Secretary Kennedy, we for the first time, we're seeing deaths from children, from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people. Damn. Jesus. Now, that went on for about three hours. Kennedy defended his leadership while pushing back against senators who accused him of spreading misinformation and under undermining the CDC's credibility. And he argued that his reforms are designed to restore trust and give Americans facts and not politics. And moving on to the latest in the job numbers. There are new numbers out this morning from the government's Jolts report. That's the jobs opening and labor turnover survey. They show the job market is slowing down. For the first time since the pandemic, there are more people looking for work than there are jobs available. Nearly 7.23 million Americans are unemployed. That's compared to 7.18 million job openings. That's the lowest level we've seen since December of 2020. And when you add in another 1.7 million people who are, quote, discouraged workers, that's people who want a job but have stopped looking. That's nearly 9 million Americans that are effectively out of work. So when asked about these numbers yesterday in the White House, this is what President Trump had to say. The real numbers that I'm talking about are going to be whatever it is, but we'll be in a year from now when these monstrous, huge, beautiful places, the palaces of genius. And when they start opening up, you're seeing, I think you'll see job numbers that are going to be absolutely incredible. Right now it's a lot of construction numbers, but you're going to see job numbers like our country has never seen before. Thank you very much. How do you come up with the numbers like that though, right? Like who does, Is that like some type of census? How do we know the percentage of discouraged workers? Well, see, Jess, I'm glad you asked that question because see, the President just fired the person who is in charge of keeping track of those numbers because he didn't like the report. So they, there was a week July report, so they fired him. And then here come the August numbers which are even worse. And so you know, Trump is saying, oh, the numbers are going to come out next week, but economists are, excuse me, next year, trust those number. But economists are warning that literally if we can't, we have no one in charge of overseeing those numbers, how are we going to know that we can trust the numbers that are going to even come out as, as we continue to see the job market slow down. So, and you know another question I ask when they say more Americans are seeking work than jobs available, like what kind of work? What kind of jobs? Well, I'm glad you asked that question too, Charlemagne, because they are saying that there are more part time jobs available. So when you hear jobs, they're like a lot of the, the jobs have, the job growth has stalled, but more people are getting part time jobs than full time Jobs because there's just really no full time jobs available. So the numbers in itself are misleading because they're. People are underemployed, if that makes sense. And you know, even when the RFK Jr thing. I want to go back real quick. You know, I, I blame America for what? Because they should make it the way. You have to have a certain level of credentials and expertise to hold these positions. Oh, absolutely. It only makes sense. You're talking about some of the highest positions in the land. Shouldn't you have some type of level of credentials and expertise when we're talking about all these other jobs? Yes. You have to put your resume down. You have to put down what it is you've done in order to even get some of these part time jobs Mimi was just talking about. So why shouldn't it be like that? For these full time jobs and these high level positions in government, you should have some type of credentials and expertise. Well, that's what. When you have a president that's not necessarily accredited. Right, that, but that's my point. That's why I blame America. America should make it to where you have to have a certain level of credentials and expertise to hold these high positions in government. Well, you should run for president and change the rules. I don't have no credentials. Somebody always tell him that. He'd be like, I would never, I would never do that. Well, thank you. You know why? Why? Because the bar is low because of Trump. That's actually an insult when people be like, you know what, you should run for president. I'm not a qualified person. They're only saying that because the bar is in hell. Pretty much. You to be smarter than the current president. That's not a flex. I know it's not a flex for the president. All right. All right. Yeah. Well, coming up at 7, there's a surprising new health warning tied to your phone and the bathroom. We're going to tell you what researchers found and we'll talk about that next. Hemorrhoids. All right, we'll get into that next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. Yo, what are you talking about? Hemorrhoids. 5851051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. 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 blessed. Call up next, 800. 5, 8, 5, 10, 5 1. Not just me, I'm with the culture feeling. Hello? Who's this? Hey, good morning. This is James calling from North Carolina. James, what's up, brother? Good morning. Peace, everybody. Peace. Yo, I have a problem with these anti vaxxers, man. Especially this Robert Kennedy guy, man. He is in no position to be telling people anything about health. I mean, he can't. Have y' all heard how he breathes? Yeah, we've interviewed him before. He's been to Breakfast Club. Oh, my God. I mean, he. He ain't got no business telling nobody nothing. Think about this, man. Vaccines are important because it builds up an immunity to your system whenever you get those shots for whatever the illness is. And if people think that there's problems with that, just think about this. There would be no military if there was a problem with vaccines. Because every military personnel has to have vaccines. Unless you're allergic to something. I understand the vaccine hesitancy, though, especially amongst black people. I mean, when you think about the medical mistrust that, you know, we feel because it, you know, with the Tuskegee air minutes. Yeah, Tuskegee Henrietta lacks case. There's a lot of different reasons why we feel the way that we feel. I understand. And then there are natural to boost your immunity, though, you know what I mean? Like there. A vaccine is not the only way to do that. You know, you gotta really be careful about the things that you put in your body. You gotta do research on all that stuff. Yeah, it's a new vaccine every few months, every year. You know what I mean? And then you find out after you is being recalled a lot. Every time I have chest pain now, I'd be like, man, I should have never got that damn Covid shot. Exactly. I had no cardiovascular issues until, like, I got that goddamn shot. Because they kind of forced us to get the COVID shot. Right. We didn't have an option if we wanted to continue to work, which sucks. And I'm not saying it was the vaccine. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that when I think about it, you know, the things, the changes that I've had over the last five years, that was a big one, getting that vaccine. Well, I didn't have any problems with it myself, but. Yo, envy, you think you can throw on the roots, what they do? You said what? The roots, what they do? Oh, you want to hear about the roots, what they do? He ain't even know what you were talking about. Yeah, you talking about her roots at First I'm like, what are you doing? I thought you were talking about his family history. He didn't feel like playing nothing from Dominican Republic, you know, he not blamed. What is that? What is Roots? Nobody knew what he was talking about at first. Yes, I did. I knew exactly what he was talking about. You ain't saying. Hello. Who's this? I got you with the rooster. Hello? You're lying. I'm not. You just lie to this man during the mix. I got him. I'm playing Roots record. All right, well, you ain't got to. Hello? Who's this? Yo, what up? It's Keith from Brooklyn. You heard Key from Brooklyn? You heard. What's up, y'? All? What's up, y'? All? Yo, Charlemagne, Jess, Envy, what's good? What's up? Hey. Nah, it ain't nothing. God bless. Hey, yo. Hey, yo, what's good with this Chinese parade? I ain't heard y' all talk about this. It happened, like, five days ago. Everybody's talking about it. CNN's talking about it. TBS News is talking about it. Fox News talking about it, but I ain't hear y' all mention it yet. I ain't hear nothing about no Chinese parade. Yeah. What? No, what happened? Tell us, bro. There is a whole. These guys hold a. Chinese in China. They had a military parade. It was like, the biggest thing. All the. No, it's America's ops. All of America's ops. Even India is involved, and it's a big thing. And they're trying to. They're trying to say that. Oh, they're trying to pos. An alternate global world order, and China is leading the charge. That's a big deal. I feel like people should be talking about that a lot more. James. We spoke about it, and the President responded that they. He thought that they had a secret meeting behind it, but he's conflating two things. Like, they had a summit where it was Putin and it was North Korea and it was China. But then the Chinese had their military parade, which they always have military. It was 27 world leaders, bro. It was mad. It was mad people. Mad people involved. Even India, which is a big deal. That India. It went to that parade. Russia went to that parade. What's the. What's the dictator that's in North Korea? Yes. Yeah. Kim Jong Un, which is a big deal. They said that was the first time he's ever been in China in a long time or something like that. That was a big deal. The Indian prime minister and Trump told them all. Trump said, yeah, get him all my warmest regards. Well, thank you, Keith. As they conspire against the United States. I thought we talked about this. That's what I said. Yeah, we spoke about this. Did they have any performances? Yeah, Lil Kim, I'm playing TK. I'm just kidding. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Wake up. Wake up. Wake your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest. William, man or blessed. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello?

I have a 12 year old daughter whose birthday's coming up, too, so, you know, I can play the birthday. You know, it's just trying to have that conversation. You kind of don't want to feel like you're still in the innocence, you know, I'm saying by putting them in that kind of situation, by letting them know stuff, that they're trying to change them, you know, so we're just trying to figure things out, you know, things that are financial, harsh, you know, due to treatment and stuff that we have to go through in surgery. And trying to make way for my daughter's birthday as well, too. It's just been like a struggle. So my daughter saw me yesterday with my hands in my head. I thought she was sleep. And she came over and said, it's okay, daddy. You know, I know things are rough, but, you know, all I do. All I want is a phone for my birthday. So I just lift my head up and started laughing and, you know, kind of, you know, the depression I was kind of in for a second, but, you know. Yeah, so. So what's. What we'll be trying to do now is trying to. Just trying to come up with some things for my Daughter. And, you know, we created a cash app for it. I don't. I don't know if I can be able to give it.

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short term, highly regimented correctional program that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you and we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yeah, that is just sounded. Just sounded so catty, so girly. But I don't talk behind your back. Women, business. I don't talk behind your back. But this. This is the. No, he don't. He don't do that. I don't like this at all. You shouldn't be able to get video and audio of people's phone calls when they're in jail. Right. Let's say he was talking about some health problems. Let's say he was talking about his mother. His family. Like, this has nothing to do what he's in jail for. If he's making calls to his personal family members, his girlfriend, his fiance, his kids, these calls shouldn't be able to be. I don't. I don't know all the rules. I disagree. Only because it tells you that the phone call is being recorded when you make it. Yo. Well, listen, but it's usually for law purposes, not for the general public. But listen, I don't know that. I just know it's being recorded. Being recorded, man is liable to be anywhere. Exactly. Anywhere. Anybody can get it. Yes. And that person on the other side of the phone should know that as well, too. So maybe someone should remind him he was forgetting. That's right. But this is what's insane, Right? So this cause surfaces. Everybody's like, what the heck? Going crazy. I swear, not less than 10 minutes later, Glorilla got on X and she said, mind you, this the same. Blowing my phone up to ask what color my ey eyes is? Lmao. Rihanna. That. Which is insane because, I mean, why you want to know what color her eyes is? Why you look on her face. I think Thug needs a podcast with Azalea Banks. That'd be fire if Thug talked the way he talk on them calls with Azalea. Well, you know, I don't like that. I ain't gonna hold you. Me and my not ever talking about nobody that he wouldn't holler at, because what we talking about anyway? Like, I would never holler at her. You on the phone with your girl, sir, there's so many other things that y' all could be talking about than Glorilla being ugly. Like, that's, That's. That's not ugly. Never was ugly. But look, Mariah funny, too, somehow. Yeah, people say she looked like Rihanna. Like, she's funny. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah. Well, y', all, let's see what you did there, girl. Well, it didn't work out in her favor because. No, she looks crazy. Now. Young thug responded to gorilla and he added her. He said, first of all, I'm so sorry to you for my words. And I honestly don't think you're ugly at all. I was speaking from jail, just having a hard time with life. I don't like bashing girls and hardly ever did. I'm sorry to you, twin. That's real. People was like, bro, you caught her. Twin don't do that. Atlanta slang. We know, but they were being. People were being funny because it's like, why would you ever say that about her? Now you know something. Shut up. Yeah, that's Atlanta slang, twin. That's not just Atlanta slang. They said it everywhere. We know un. It was just funny. Oh, I thought it was Atlanta slang. I ain't know. Okay, go ahead. Everywhere. Say what you was going to say. But that's. That's how. That's how most of us sound when we on the phone with our people, by the way. But not on a recorded call. Charlemagne. Like, you don't know if these calls be recorded. But that's. That's my point. Like, I really thought that only the federal government can use those calls if it was some crime or something. Talking about a crime. I didn't know that. If you talked about. I don't know what you making that baseball. You. Yes, what I know exactly. I recorded call from Jess with the mess. And her news is real. Her cause is crazy. I'm sure people hear how you talk when you not on the phone. Okay, okay, okay. That is, I be on there key, Ken. Okay? The only difference between me and a lot of people, I key key. And if the person key a little bit too much on the phone, I'mma bring it to the radio. If you enjoying this, Kiki, the world will I don't talk to you on the phone no more now. Well, people have been waiting For Young Thug to speak on some things. And we don't. I don't know the release date, but I did see yesterday that he will be up next as the. The guest on Perspectives with Bank. So that'll be dropping soon, and he gonna have a lot that he gonna have to address. Okay. Yeah, it's already done. They did it earlier this week. No. Okay. So we should be here now soon. Also, GLOW really wanted to remind y', all it's Yesterday was Beyonce's day. We gonna give Beyonce the rest of this week. She said, let's not make today about me. Okay. She wanted to remind y' all it's Beyonce's day. Give Beyonce her time. Gloria. Of record. There's a lot of chat about Gorilla yesterday online. Say I'm ugly. Oh, man. Salute to Glorilla. All right. Yes. Pull up a Glorilla record, too. When we come back, we got Front Page News. Me stop playing with that girl. Man, we gotta stop playing with that girl. Definitely ain't got that in the system. Yes, we should. We had. I think you've asked to play that before. Yes, please stop playing with that girl. Stop playing with Big Glow. And then after Front Page News, the Morris Smith will be joining us. So he's the former executive director of the of NFL Players Association. So we'll talk to him next. I'm just stalling a little bit until Red pulls up the Glorilla record. Tell me when you got it, Red. He got it. You got it. No, he ain't got it. I don't. Oh, wait, Eddie, put that in the system. Glowrilla, stop playing with that girl. No, never mind. I'm not gonna. I want to bring the move down. What you about to say what happened? No, tell us. No, I was just gonna say today is Roland Ray's birthday, too. You know, he passed away. We found out he passed away this week. I think he passed away. We don't know. His mom just posted online that he had passed away, but we don't know what happened. And yesterday it was a lot of, like, celebrities, just, like, you know, because he's been interacting with so many celebrities online. He's a social media influencer. He was also on Zeus Cardi B. I posted yesterday and was like, Roland Ray was a menace, but he changed so much and became so positive. I know that soul made it to heaven. You will truly be missed. Big purr. You know, the first time I met Rolling Ray, they had. Did a. We had a spin off. Remember, Catfish? Yes, we had. Did a spin off of Catfish that I was hosting. And he was the first episode because he was team. Who was he? Was he Team Nikki or Kim? Yeah, he was Team Nikki. Team Nikki. And he was going against somebody that was on Team Kim. And, you know, it was the whole. It was. The show was called Trolls. So it was literally about people who used to troll each other online and then we would have them meet up and he was wilding in a. He funny. I think I saw that. I'm sure you can find it on YouTube. I love Roland Ray, but my favorite video is when he was getting at the cops when he was protesting for George Floyd. That is my favorite video. I love Roller Ray. Jocelyn Hernandez also posted yesterday and said, this one hurts my heart. Yes. Yep. All right, we got it. Well, let's get this. It's Glorilla here. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. Start off some quick sports. Now, yesterday they announced that Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Are set to fight an exhibition boxing match in 2026. Just silly, man. Y' all excited? Y' all want to see it? No, that's it. I mean, it's just silly. Hell no. Yo, what? Yeah, well, make your money. The Tyson and Jake Paul fight wasn't even good like that. Nope. You know why? The reason I don't be excited for these fights because we know that they're not going out there to actually fight. Right. You know what I'm saying? So they'd be charging us these crazy amounts to watch these fights where they not really even banging on each other. If they was actually going out there to bang on each other, I'd be like, okay, I'll watch. But they're not doing that. No. Now, is this a money grab? That's all it is. What's up, Mimi? All right, y'. All. We'll talk about the OpenAI. They're rolling out new safety measures. They're aimed at protecting teenagers who use chat GPT, giving parents more control and better tools to keep their kids safe online. So for the first time, parents will be able to link their accounts with their teens, set up age appropriate rules, and even manage features like chat history and memory settings. The goal is more oversight, more transparency when kids are interacting with AI. One of the biggest changes and the most talked about is a new systems that will alert parents if chat GTP detects that a teen might be in acute emotional stress. This is the first time that AI will proactively flag potentially high risk moments to an adult, something experts say could be critical in preventing harm. Now these new safety measures come as Open AI, the company behind Chat GPT, faces growing scrutiny following the tragic death of 16 year old Adam Rain in California. Adam's parents, they filed a wrongful, deathful, wrongful death lawsuit claiming that Chat GPT gave harmful advice when he expressed suicidal thoughts. Now the tragedy, it sparked nationwide concerns and increased pressure on OpenAI to add stronger safeguards and better protections for teenagers. And I know you all have, have children and everyone's using Chat GTP now. Does this sound like it will be a little safer for kids to use nowadays? So that way you can see what your kids are doing. So yeah, I would think so, yeah. That's the biggest thing. The biggest thing is just monitoring what your kids are doing, man. Like, you know, we're acting like these new advancements in technology are, are like, are different than anything that we grew up on. Like when, when we had television, cable television, our parents monitored what we were watching. It should be the same thing with this. You should monitor what your kids are doing on social media. Absolutely. Or on Chat GPT, AI, whatever it is. And speaking of our relate our relationship with technology, we were just talking about the, the earlier story with Chat GPT. Let's talk about another habit that most of us have but rarely admit to. It's called bathroom scrolling. That's when you take your phone to the bathroom and you end up deep diving through social media emails while you're on the toilet. So girl. Yes, and your feet will fall asleep and you will sit there like, oh my God, why did I just do this? Right? Like who? Like, like Envy Charlemagne. Do y' all do that? Take your phone in the bathroom and just lose track of time? Because that's a thing. No, I do. Well, if you don't, it's a, it's, you're lucky because most researchers found that most people do that and it is bad for your health. They looked at 125 adults and found that two thirds admitted to using their phone in the bathroom, mostly for social media, emails and checking up on the news. But here's the issue. People who bring their phones with them into the bathroom or 46% more likely to have hemorrhoids than those who didn't. Oh my God. Yes. They say doctors say the real issue is about how long you sit. So if you stay too long, that puts extra strain on your body and smartphones make it worse. Because it keeps you there. You get. You lose track of time. And so they say there's also. I don't know if y' all thought of this. The germ factor. Flushing sends tiny particles into the air and it ends up on your phone. Yo, how about this, Mimi? How about you going there? You go in the bathroom with your phone, you do a number two, you wipe your ass. Then you pick your phone up and then go wash your hands. Now you got E. Coli all over your phone. I've been thought like. Like why. I don't understand. That's common sense. Like, that makes no sense to me. Why people do that, I don't know. Because a lot of people are doing it. They say, actually they thought it was just the younger generation, but now they're seeing it more in people in their 40s and their 50s. So they have no excuse. I'll be in the bathroom up there. I will be on my phone in the store. In the store, right on the toilet. And I hear somebody right next to me flush the toilet, but I don't hear the sink. What you doing? Well, because after the sink is outside the toilet. No. Oh, so you can't hear the sink, they just leave the bathroom? Yeah, yeah. She said on the toilet. On the. Then the sink. You mean after they leave it? No, I said I'll be on the toilet and I hear somebody next to. To me on another toilet. Not heal. And I will hear them flush the toilet, but I don't hear the sink when they come out. Yeah, exactly. I know what you were saying, Jess. I got you. But they're saying, Mimi, that you're supposed to only stay on the toilet five minutes. Five minutes is the last five. That's the five minute rule. Thank you, Envy. Five minute rule. The five minute rule is this. If nothing happens, get up and try again later. If the magic doesn't happen in five minutes, doctors say it is just not gonna happen. Yeah, because you're not supposed to screen. That's the. People don't realize you're not supposed to screen when you're on the toilet. It supposed to just come up. What if you constipated? You have to. That's the problem. That's what she means. Like. Yeah, but. But there are just certain times you have to disconnect. When you're eating, put your phone away. When you're on the toilet, put your phone away. When you're in bed, put your phone away. Shoot. When you watching tv, like, you don't always have to be on your phone. That's why I recommend books like Digital minimalism by Cal Newport and from the Internet to the Internet, how to disconnect from your phone and reconnect with your life. Go pick those two books up. Read those years ago. And we got to read a book to disconnect with the phone. And the book is on the phone, right? Yes, you should be. I can't wait till. Just come out with her. Come out with a book. It's coming soon. Everybody like. But don't. You don't even like to read? No, not. No. All right. Well, thank you, Mimi. That is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me on social @mimi Brown TV. And for more news coverage, follow the Black Information network or download the free I Heart radio and app and visit bin news dot com. Yes, ma'. Am. All right. All right. Now, everybody else, when we come back, Damoris Smith will be joining us. He's the former executive director of the NFL Players association. And we'll talk to him next. Yes, and also today is Friday. So you know what that means. It is the people's donkey. So you can call up here right now and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. 1-800-585-1051. Who's going to get the biggest he haw this morning? You decide. I just figured you was gonna give Jalen Carter donkey today, but maybe somebody will. 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. Lola Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. He said just call him D D. Ladies and gentlemen, Morris Smith. Welcome, man. It's a pleasure. Thank you for having me. Thank you. I'm sorry I'm a little late. I would have crushed breakfast had I been here earlier. Yeah, you still got time to get some corral. But you're the former executive director of the nflpa. Tell us what that title helps. You know, simply, you're the head of the union. You represent all 18, 35 players. You go to war with 31 billionaires, you do the best to make sure our guys get paid. You make sure that they have healthcare, make sure that they have control over their work. You govern their pensions, their post career training, everything. So you're the union representing a lot of players. And they're, look, they're young. For most of our guys, it's their first job, which makes it difficult to sometimes represent them because they've never had the kind of jobs I Had coming up paper routes, working at a pizza place. Those guys come into the business of football believing and understanding how to play the game. They know virtually nothing about the ruthlessness and the cutthroat nature of the business. And your job as the head of the union, at least for me, I only had one way of doing it. You know, my coach used to call it ten toes to the line every day going up against the guys who, you know, sit in the sky suites and want our dudes to work. And then the other thing is, man, just tell the guys the truth. And sometimes they don't want to hear it because they've grown up in a culture of football that rewards them for everything they do on the field. And they have a misunderstanding that Jerry Jones doesn't care. Wow. And Robert Kraft doesn't care. True. And you know, there's always that sign on draft day that says, welcome to the NFL family. And I told the same rookies for 14 years, you are not in the family because you are not in the will. It's real. I mean, again, some guys don't like to hear that because it's a little brutal. That's where I came from. And that's kind of the way I know how to do business. But you're not in the will. What's the most difficult thing you have to deal with with being head of the union, as far as dealing with teams, what's the worst thing that. The most thing that they hate giving up. And I'm sure you control. Control. What type of control? All of it. You know, I forget who it was listening to. Deion, who was always great to me, he always had this line, you either, you either chase the game or chase the bag. Right? You know, the bag, you chase the money. And sometimes our guys are just focused on the money. What drives the NFL is control. They want to control everything. And they. You know, for example, up until 2011, the National Football League had the unilateral right. Exclusive right to add as many games to the schedule as possible, which is crazy. Yeah. They could have gone up to 21 games, 23 games if they wanted to. I mean, I'm a. A little older than everybody else in the room. Don't say anything else. Happy birthday. But I remember a 14 game season. I remember a 16 game season. You know, when it went from 14 to 16, the players never got any more money. Wow. I didn't know that. Nobody does. Right. It's. They don't get paid for the extra game. No. From when they went from a 12 game season to a 14 game season, to a 16 game season. They never got an increased share of revenue. Revenue, I get it. Because their contract, their contract is already set for the year. You just, you just spread out the money along. Yeah, right. And even guys when I came in in 2009 didn't understand that. Right. Yes. Revenue increases, so the cap goes up. So in 2011, I mean, we went through a war. I mean they declare a war on us. I, I do. War. The big win for the players in 2011 was we, we wrestled back that unilateral control and we got the ability to govern our work. So, you know, that resulted in, in, you know, you fast forward to 2020. The league wanted a 17th game fine. You know, the players wanted a 17th game fine. Some players didn't want a 17th game fine. But it's a democracy. So the players voted for a 17th game. The kicker there was. The league bought a 17th game in 2020 for approximately 1.6, 1.7 billion over a 10 year period. It was a game they had for free in 2011. The game of football. The reason I wrote the book, it's about power. And I think that at the end of the day, I never wanted a football book because I'm not a football guy. I was like, my high school coach will tell you I was probably the worst high school football player he's ever seen. But I wanted to write Turf wars because it's about power. I love the header. It says the fight for the soul of America's game. Because I thought to myself, does that, does the NFL have a soul? The NFL does not have a soul. The players have a soul. Okay, Right. And the NFL is the largest, most unregulated, socialistic business in America. Break that down. The NFL privatizes their wealth and socializes their cost. Right. So you think about stadiums, for example. Every state and local government goes through a referendum to get taxpayers to pay for the owner's stadium. We pay for it, he keeps the profit. They are a completely unregulated business. Up to a few Years ago, the NFL league office was a 501c6 nonprofit profit. They're going to do $25 billion next year. How, how can a corporation like that be a non profit, not a corporation? How? But I'm saying how, how can they not be a got time. Break down a little history. All right, so first thing that happens in, in 1960s, they have the AFL, American Football League and the NFL. Those two entities merge. Right? So think about it like Lowe's and Home Depot. Right. If Lowe's and Home Depot merged, what would be the price of hamper summer 500. Right. Because there's no competition. Absolutely. In the 1960s, that's exactly what the NFL did. They became the merger of Lowe's and Home Depot. So they merged. The only way they could merge was they needed special legislation from Congress, which they got. So think about it. The taxpayers who these dudes are supposed to work for, allowed the NFL and the AFL to merge, which basically meant they eliminated all of the competition from now until the end into time, first thing that happens. Second, under the Sports Broadcasting act, they also have the unique ability of negotiating singular television contracts. So instead of the. The rant, the Rams doing a TV contract or the Patriots or anybody else, the NFL does one big TV contract a year. Virtually nobody else can do that. So they've cornered the market on the merger. Cornered the market it on media. At the end of the day, all of the teams are not corporations. They are LLCs and LLPs. Limited Liability Partnerships. So, you know, my job is to audit the teams, which, you know, gave me an ulcer and, you know, got me addicted to Johnny Walker Blue. But you think of those corporations, you take something like the Dallas Cowboys. There is no one singular Dallas Cowboy entity. They're made up of dozens of little LLPs and LLCs. They loan money to each other, they borrow from each other, they pay each other. So the way this thing works from a tax liability standpoint is if they do everything right, you know what they pay in taxes at the end of the year? Damn near nothing. Yeah. So they're not a corporation. That's crazy. They don't file anything publicly. Make it even crazier. You cannot not find an audited financial statement for any NFL team or the NFL as it exists. They do not create audited financial statements because they don't want anyone to know. So when they put those numbers out and they say, hey, we made this year, this amount this year, that's just something they're throwing out there. That's just something they're throwing out there. We're still kicking it with Demora Smith. He's the former executive director of the NFL Players Association. Charlemagne. How did you look at Roger Goodell? Did you look at him as more of an ally or adversary? Pure ass adversary. Wow. I mean, look, Roger. I mean, he, he's there to protect the owners, basically. That's not even basically. I mean, he. The commissioner is a myth. So they created this title called Commissioner way back in the Day, because it makes us think, oh, the dude's in the middle, and he's just making sure that football is good for the players and football is good for the. Good for the owners. No, Roger gets paid $63 million a year. 64. I mean, he may have gotten a bonus. I don't know. I don't. I don't. You know, I know, I know. When we do have lunch, he buys. So, no, he gets paid 63. 64 million dollars to represent the interest of the owners and a plane for life. I'm not even mad about the money. It's the plane, right? Damn. That's the kind of thing where you're like, jesus, don't play no football. Think about it. For him to be objective about the players. He's not paid to be. I don't know. How hard was it for you navigating a Colin Kaepernick situation because people felt like y' all were hands off? You are very vocal. Seemed like you would be hands off, but. Yeah, I wasn't hands off on that one. Yeah. You know, the. The. The first person to do an interview after Colin knelt was me, because I knew exactly how the league was going to turn that story. And, you know, I didn't know that he was going to kneel. You know, it was a preseason game, and I remember getting a call from one of my PR guys that this is now going to be a thing. It's going to be a thing tomorrow. But I also knew in a heartbeat that, again, going back to this power man, once the league realized that this is an individual player making a political statement that is rooted in history and rooted in fact, I knew in a nanosecond that they were going to come after him and come after anybody who supported him. That's just the way that they play the game. Right. And so for me, you know, I go into game mode. You know, first make sure that the message is out there. And two, if there ever comes a day when we believe that he is going to be blackballed for what he's doing, that's why we joined his lawyers and we sued the National Football League for blackballing. I know you talk about it in your book a bit, but do you feel like he was blackballed? 100%. I don't want to say anything that. That. That gets a whole bunch of other quarterbacks mad at me, but in the year that Colin wasn't signed, other than the top five quarterbacks in the league, you know, at that time, and I'm Just talking about everybody from, from, from Brading, from Brady to Aaron Rodgers, everybody in the middle, Breeze, Pat Peyton, everybody. Colin was the, one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league. I mean, everybody, there were, there were a bunch of other guys who had jobs, quarterback jobs. I, I don't think it's close that he was better than 50 of the starting quarterbacks in the National Football League of time when he worked out with the Raiders or when. I know when Roc Nation had put together the workout that he was supposed to go to, but then he went somewhere else. The one in it. Yeah. The tryout in it in Atlanta. Yeah. What do you think of those two situations? Were they just for show or what do you think? Hey, look, I, I, nobody was more stunned than me that he didn't go through with that tryout in Atlanta. I know that there was a fight over some waiver or something like that, but, but you know, there were a bunch of pro scouts there and he decided, you know, for his own reasons that, that he wasn't going to throw that day. That, that surprised me. It disappointed me a little. He did go, though. He just went up the road. He did. He went to a high school. High school, yeah. Where all the, all the, all the scouts weren't. Yeah. But there were also dudes catching for him that day who were looking for jobs too. They didn't go to the high school. Oh, got you got you got you gotcha got. So look, the, you lose 100 of the fights, you don't fight, right? If, if I would have had to wave weight of a magic wand, would I have wanted him to go throw that day and in front of a bunch of scouts and show off that freaking arm and show off, you know, his feet and his footwork. Yes. You think it would have been hard to keep him out of the league after that if he had a good show? Yes. Yeah. Because I think the pressure shifts, right? I mean, everybody was there in Atlanta, press was there, scouts are there. Man, he is going to do well. And it is, at least from the way that I look at the game strategy, it becomes incredibly hard from that moment for the league to continue to hold him out of the league. When you've got 30 some odd scouts there, the media is there and he does well. I mean, I, I just look at pressure points, right. That puts the maximum amount of pressure on the league at that moment. And would I have loved to seen him go through that process. Yeah. But you know what? I think it was a hope that if they show the rest of the players that they can control what happens to somebody with a loud voice choice. If they can control someone who looks like they might be bigger than the league, what do they do? They send a message to that guy, you, and they say, oh, no, no, no, we can control and put a bullet in you. And that's a message to everybody else. I don't think it worked, though. I don't think it did either. It didn't stop anybody from the other. No, it didn't. And honestly, I thought that was one of the. That was one of the best times, one of the few great times that I had in the job because guys responded to that in a way. I'm always looking for guys to be. To have a level of solidarity between them. And I'm like, the owners. Like, the owners. I mean, the owners are serial killers. Let's not. Again, they are absolute killers. And for the union to survive, forget us winning, for us to just survive, we need more solidarity on our side than you do with the ownership owners. And that's what you saw with our guys. And then that, you know, that night after the president gave that speech in Huntsville, you know, where he called and said, you know, wouldn't it be great if every owner. Right. I mean, I am sure that he did not understand that. He called every NFL player's mother. Son of a. A. I mean, you know, from where we come from, you can say a lot of things. You get to that point, there is to be going. Hi, I'm Jenica Lopez, and in the new season of the Overcomer podcast, I'm taking you on an exciting journey of self reflection.

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates. I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand and that's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact it may get even worse. For more judgment free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. A foot washed up, a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA Using new scientific tools. They're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen, I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors, and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at othram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts to be a laying of hands on you. When you say, and I think when the Republicans woke up that morning and realized that even Trump had gone over the line by calling players mothers a bitch, man, that was the weekend you saw every player, Neil. Right. I mean, I talk about it in the book. I flew to watch the, the Cowboys play, not because I'm a Cowboys fan. I went, well, thank God. Be respectful. We can go, baby. Look, I mean, that Michael Parsons thing work. I know. I mean, we don't have to talk about it. See. Okay. See, I don't know. He's a little salty. He's a little salty, you know? Okay, but you said, you said that sharp objects to this side of the table. You said that week that you went. Because I knew Jerry's team was going to kneel. And, you know, Jerry had come out and said, nobody's kneeling on my team because that's the way that he believes in control. Yeah. I knew his team was going to kneel, and I wanted to see what he was going to. Going to do. He went out there and nailed with him. He moved his self from the end of the line to the middle of the line and knelt because for the only time that he has run that team, he understood the difference between being on the train or being in front of the train. And he chose to be on the train because his guys decided as a group of men this. And I was proud of him, but that's the job. Still kicking with Demora Smith. He's the former executive director of the NFL Players Association Charlemagne. You got with Collins lawyers and you sued the NFL. Yeah. There was a settlement. Yeah. Do you think that's when leverage was lost? Was that the right thing to do? Except the settlement? Yeah, I, I mean, so we represented him with his lawyers. His lawyers did the settlement. We didn't. I, I didn't know about the settlement. I, I woke up and saw it in the news. Oh, so the NFL VA didn't even know about it? No. That doesn't make any sense. Welcome to part of my job. That's why people were confused about. That's what I'm saying. With the hands on, hands off thing. People were confused where y' all stood. Cuz things were happening and y' all weren't. And it's hard because, you know, again, you know, I'm a lawyer and lawyers have attorney client privilege. I didn't know about the settlement. The NFL paid. Did not know about the settlement. We woke up and found out about it that morning. And as a result, it dismissed our part of the case against the league. That's the way it happens. He has the right to do that. He has the right to be represented by his own lawyers. Fine. The NFL PA's job is to protect our players. And again, I only know one way of doing that, and that is to start off at 100 miles an hour and go to 150. And if there's something in the way, you, you run over it. We were more interested in the facts of who made the decision to blackball a quarterback, a black quarterback in the National Football League. I'm interested in what's in your phone. I'm interested in what emails you're sending. I'm interested because I get all of that in discovery, right? Just like the, you know, the collusion lawsuit that I filed against the players after deshaun Watson. I filed that lawsuit before I left. I wasn't there for, for the ruling, but the reason I filed that lawsuit is, man, we're looking for the truth because the truth gives us the ability to fight the control, right? So my job in any collusion lawsuit, man, I'm going hard. And there's nothing to settle for the, for the union, right? So once you take all that money, you, you, you waive all the rights to set the discovery and everything. It's like you don't care about, about you don't care about the actual issue anymore. You never got it. Gotcha. Okay, so I'm not second guessing anyone. Yeah, but were all y' all on the same page about that? Obviously not. Are you anybody read the book? Yeah, I know there's stuff that I'm trying to avoid saying, saying, because I had conversations with their side of the lawyer, so I can't divulge anything, but I can tell you that I woke up and found out about the settlement from I think espn. What were your thoughts on the way they handled the Sanders young man control same situation. Do you think that was? Think about it. Look, I don't know what happened. You know, I borrow this line from, from James Baldwin all the time. I don't know if in your heart you're a racist, but I see what you do. Right. So I look at the way in which a young black man knelt during a preseason game and the league turned, I believe every gun that they had on Colin Kaepernick. They went after Colin because he was iconic and they were afraid that what he was doing would lead to other people doing things and they would lose control. Then you get to the shadow that would happen if you didn't take the thing. Right. I. I don't know. I'm just being nice on the. But then you get to Shador and again, I wasn't. Nobody invites me into the draft rooms. But I asked myself a pretty simple linear question. Is he better than Johnny Manziel? Shadur Sanders? Johnny Manziel? Yes. In college. Come on, that was a beast in college. Now, come on, man. Like he, I mean, I like Johnny Menzel. I mean, yeah, Johnny was a beast in college. Two people, if you put them side by side as far as who is more likely to be a pro caliber quarterback, Shador beats him to death. Right. It's inexplicable for him to fall as far as he did in the draft. Right? You think about the number of quarterbacks that the NFL owners pull off of the draft line. He was predicted to go first round. So. So every other prognosticator is wrong and the NFL is right. No, that doesn't make any sense. I just go back to the number of quarterbacks that they pulled off that line. After you get to the middle of the second round, every one of those quarterbacks that you pulled off the line, I would have taken Chador over any one of those dudes. So I find it inexplicable except for one thing of why he would drop so far in the draft on the draft side. Because remember, think about it. You draft this guy, you know, he still doesn't make the team. Right. I find it inexplicable that a person of his caliber, the things that he was able to accomplish in college for him to drop as far as he did in the draft round. I agree. But I disagree with the Johnny Manziel comparison. Like, Johnny Manziel was a beast, bro. He won the Heisman Trophy. Like Johnny was different in college. He sucked in the pros. Right. But. But college, he was. There's a lot of dudes in who do well in college, I guess where, where I, you know, we agree to disagree, but here I think we can agree on. There's a lot of guys who perform in a college system whose size and skill will not make them terribly successful in the pro system. Right. And I, I think that when you look at the arm strength and the size of, Of Shador and what he was able to demonstrate in college, both with his feet and his, his ability to. His ability to throw, just crazy, right? What he was able to do in college mimicked what I, I thought he should be able to do and then National Football League. But fine, we can disagree about all that. I keep coming back to this guy dropped so far in the draft despite everybody rating him at a much higher level. And also the people like the. I think people were waiting like his debut. I think he was. It's 2.2 million views. It was the ratings. But doesn't. So he plays well. We know that. Right. But I love Shadow, but he is third screen on the Browns right now. But, but how much does a team want to. This is through training camp. This is through. You know what I'm saying. He's third string on the Browns right now. I guess what I would say is there are. I'm sorry, what was your question? I was just asking how much does that matter? Like, because people wanted to see him. None. To an NFL scout, NFL coach, you know, quarterback, quarterback coach. Man, they, they don't care about likes, man. They care about whether you can deliver the ball in a, in a three by three box with you running right, throwing right. And, and whether or not you can throw that ball on a. On a line for 30 yards. That's what they care about. That's all they care about. My point is, coming out of college, when you take all of the predictors about Chador, did all of those predictive qualities point to him going higher than when he came out? Yes. And again, I don't know. But I do know one thing. There is not an NFL owner that liked the way in which he carried himself in college. That is not. That is not their vibe. Because you write in the book, owners aren't stupid. Morons on occasion, but not stupid. They realized long ago that a single massive army is more powerful than 32 regional ones, especially while fending off an attack. And it made me think about it because you can have all the Money in the world. But if they're unity IN Group Operation 100, that keeps them in power 100%, man. You want to be the next executive director of the nflpa? No, I guess I had to do a pitch too much. Pick up the. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. You need to do Bill Simmons podcast, man. I would love to. Yeah. I would love to. I would love to. I think y' all have a great comment. I would love to. Turf wars. Demarcus Smith. Thank you for having me, man. D D. How do you pronounce it? Just so. Demaris. Demar. Yeah, my mom. My mom wanted to call me La canar, or my dad did, but thank God. Thank God my mother stepped in. My name is Leonard. That's close. Yeah. But canard. La Canard is the duck. Yeah. That would have been a little bit rough. Yeah. Lennar means clown, so. Yeah. Wow. Real crazy. We appreciate you. Thank you, guys. Just means what lover. I sure this just thing went D. We out of here. Thank you, brother. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get right to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight thing. She gets them 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 the biggest. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. What was the latest on the Brick Club? First of all? Necklace. Yes. Thank you. Yes. Thank you, Jess. I appreciate it. This is from Sheen. I love that look. Like a futuristic slave. He don't stop. Go, Lauren. Go, man. Well, so Sierra has added Wilson to baby future's last name. Yay. Yes. So Russell Wilson had posted a photo of Sierra and their kids at the U.S. open in the stands. And when he posted the photo, he listed future's last name, Baby future's last name as Future Wilson. And so that caused fans to try and figure out, well, wait, is he adopted now? Because when did his last name become Wilson? Because Wilburn is Future's last name. So TMZ reached out to figure out this, and sources confirmed to them that Sierra has full custody of baby Future and she did at Wilson to his last last name illegally a few years ago. But he still does have Futures last name. So he is now Baby Future Wilson Wilburn. He has both names? Yes, he has both names. So people were trying to make this like a whole thing. Oh, my God. He was adopted by Russell Wilson. And blah, blah, she kept both names. It's her child Removing Houston's last name is Wilburn. Yeah. What is it? Laverne. Yeah, it's like, I'm about to say about the C. Isn't like Optimus Prize something wildly. No, it's not Optimus prime future's full name. Oh, no. Why is it coming up? It's coming up as Nadavius. Something like this. Sound like somebody insurance. Yeah. But here they listed. They. They mentioned Wilbur. Was that his original? Okay, okay, whatever. We're moving on. Yes, we brought that up, though, because we've been having a lot of conversations about Russell Wilson this week. Another thing that. That stirred the pot here from the Breakfast Club, the Russell Wilson conversation. Now, moving on. Yesterday, Drake went on his, like, Iceman streams. So this was episode three. He's been doing them as he rolls out the Iceman era, which is going to be his upcoming project. The reviews have not been the best from some people. So Kai or Kaisernet went on his stream and reviewed it and he did not enjoy Drake stream. Let's take a listen to Kai. Biggest waste of time of all time. The biggest waste of my RP to Armani. Yo, I'm yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. I can't fake it. I can't fake it. That was ass. I can't fake it. I can't fake it. I actually can't fake it. I. I like. I actually can't fake it. That was so ass. What did he do on the street? And I made it so ass. So the Drake streams are different. They're, like, very, like, theatrical. So he takes you through different scenes. It looks like he was in Milan because, you know, he's been on tour. He takes you through, like, different scenes and then he shows you different things. He doesn't really talk much and he previews and sometimes debuts full tracks. So yesterday he had, like, one scene where there was, like, Pinocchio and he was sitting down at the table with the different Pinocchios. And a lot of his fans are saying that that was like him reiterating at Kendrick Lamar, because remember, he was saying on the Heart Part 6 that Kendrick Lamar was lying about some of the stuff. People think it's that, but it's very, like, imagery. Very artsy, fartsy. But he did debut some songs. Songs. Now he debuted Somebody Loves Me Remix, Yeet or Doghouse. And I think the music was good. I have some of the previous music. Yeah. So let's take a listen. I didn't hear none of it, but I'll say it's whack. If y' all need me to. No, shut up, man. He said y' all be on the private calls. Let's take a listen to. Not regross yet. Let's take a listen to Somebody Loves Me remix. Y' all just tired of Drake. That's not like every other Drake record I've heard. Like, what's it. What's so different different about it? It sounds good though. It's not. Yeah, but Kai was reacting to the stream itself, I think because on Kai streams, you know, they have different things. It's almost like segments that they do. Drake's is very highly produced, but it's different. I thought the mu. That song was good as well too. But Rick Ross had some comments for Drake and y' all know Drake threw some shots to Rick Ross's way on that Sit down with Bobby. So I think this was Rick Ross's way to kind of get back. Let's take a listen to Rick Ross on Drake's stream. There's the name of the Aubrey album, White man man for real. Damn Champagne Poppy. They say them songs that you just stream your new project, White man say that ain't dope. The comments crazy. And then cast shout out to Kas. It's probably a minor. Yeah. Why is this album called Iceman though? Like. And I'm. I'm a comic book guy. So Iceman is Bobby Drake and Bobby Drake is gay in the comics. So I don't understand, like what's really. Yes, he's all openly. He's not here today. No, he's not here today. Listen, the fact. First of all, you know, he's over your Eli. So he's a Drake stand, but he's a super screaming stand. So Kai is his guy. He loves Kai. So the fact that Kai said Drake his ass obio couldn't wake up this morning. I couldn't wait to send that to the group chat last night. I didn't even hear what was happening. I just said, you sent it early. Eli. Eli ain't even come to work. Come to work. There's also. There's also one. Leave Eli alone. There's also one line where people feel like he kind of was referencing what happened last summer with Kendrick Lamar. Can we take a listen to. That's just how I feel. He said I really did f up this summer, but not the way I effed up last summer. People think it's him admitting that he messed up last summer, but I think he's saying he last summer was his. I can smell the ass on that one. No, I think he's saying. I can smell that. I think he's saying he effed up last summer like he lost last summer and this is a new, new summer. I just can smell the ass on that. Yo, stop it, man. He's nicer than that. Like, he just sound lazy, rapping like, yo, Drake, you nicer than that. But you know what he probably feel like. You know how, like, some social media influences feel like, yo, I gotta stay hot. I gotta drop something. Even if it's not my best, I gotta drop something or I'll be forgotten or, you know, he probably is having that pressure, like, because ever since that battle, yo, it ain't been looking the same for y'. All. But that's why now is not the time. Time to be lazy with nothing. Not that. I get it. I get it. I'm not. I'm with you. I think he needs to go back to the lab and start planning out his releases and do it the right way, because it seems like this is that. That I did last summer, and then last summer, that wasn't it. Yeah. And I'm a Drake fan, right? And Bobby Drake is gay. What? Iceman is gay in the comics. I need y' all to know that. I need to know what's going on. I don't have the answer to that. Oh, no. That's what I'm trying to say. That I think about the interview he did the other day. Bobby Dre. It's just like, what's going on, Iceman. He could be saying he has a cold heart like Iceman. It's so many different things he could be saying. He also could be a comic book. You know, he's. He's been seen wearing some, like, the. The. The ice apparel. There's. You never know with Drake. And I don't know the answer to that. And you just want to call him gay? That's what you just. That's not what I wanted to call. I'm just telling y' all the facts. I'm reporting. Drake gets busy. I want him to get back to rapping. I just need him to get back to rapping. Rapping. What'd you say? He probably looks at himself as Sub Zero in the Mortal Kombat game. That's different. You know, maybe I'm Sub zero. That's. I get it. Yeah. But Iceman is well quick. Quick mention. Speaking of rappers, yesterday I went to a press conference that Jay Z and Roc Nation held. You guys know they're trying to bring the Caesars Casino to Times Square Caesar's palace and they had reps from SL Green there, they had community members there, they had a bunch of different people that they're partnering with. And they explained kind of how this whole thing will go down. And I know that there's been a lot of conversation about how this can hurt the community and take away from Broadway or whatever. After sitting in that press conference there is literally in my opinion no reason why anyone should be objecting to this happening. Like this is going to do so well for not just people's like their pockets, but the community itself like to start. And this is only one of the investments. They're investing $250 million directly into the community over the next 10 years and that starts even before the casino opens. They have a organization that they're partnering with in this organization will make it where the community themselves can become investors in this for as little as $500. That's what, that's what I think a lot of people would love to hear the fact that they can invest into their own community. Yes. Do you have the information for that? Yeah, I'm pulling up the name of it right now. But it's. And also too it's a black man that, that, that created this organization. Yeah, the fund where you'll be able to invest. But also too I want to say that if people do want to get involved and they want to vote, you know, for the casino to come, there is an email that you can reach out to. So the email is Caesars Times Square Public, public comment@nys-tec.com it's for anyone that wants to voice support for Roc Nation's casino bid. You can email that Casino bid. There's going to be issues. Just it's going to be man New York City needs to upgrade. I've said it once, I say it a million times. For all the money we paying, taxes, tolls, congestion pricing, New York City should be the most futuristic looking city on the planet. Okay. We should look like Dubai, Abu Dhabi. But we don't. Okay. That casino will give this city a much needed upgrade. I, I agree, I agree. Also look like Charlotte don't look as good as Dallas. What? Just in time Square. You're saying we got to go Times Square. The whole New York City, Manhattan look looks, looks disgusting at times. And I, I love it. I'm born and raised here and I go to some of these other cities. These other cities look beautiful. See this palace will give it an upgrade. That's all I'm saying. I would hope so, all right, organization. That is the latest with Lauren. When we come back, Charlemagne Donkey today.

Hey, sis. What if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part. When you pay credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan. Starting with your local credit union, shopping around online Looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt. And it weighs on you. It's really easy to just, like, stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Now, when we come back, pack. Taye Diggs, Troy Brookings, and Jay Carter will be joining us. They got a new movie, Another Man's Wife, that's coming out later this year. We'll talk to him. And also, they did a movie with Just Hilarious, where you executive produce, Right. It's called I hate I love you. I executive produced it, and it's on Peacock. That's right. And we'll talk to them next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlotte ain't the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well, and we got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We got the brother. Tay Diggs, Jake Carter, and Troy Brookings. Welcome, fellas. How y' all doing this morning? How y' all feeling? Feeling good. Feeling good. Happy to be here. What to what do do we owe this threesome mistake? Hilarious. We're promoting this new lube, Chocolate Glide. Chocolate Glide. He's in some new lube boy. That's right. Yeah. Goes in easy, comes out smooth. That actually might work. Chocolate production team. We're a producer team, newly formed and, you know, kind of happened organically, where we started to produce content as we cast Tay, Troy, and I, and, you know, the natural kind of progression. Three black men. Let's go and own this ourselves. Let's build a table. Let's build a couple seats. So, yeah, that's what we owe this occasion. Also to promote a new movie. Nice. That we just wrapped. I feel like that's the. That's not. That's the only way in Hollywood now, like, to form your own production company and shoot your own stuff. I mean, Tay, you probably know better than most. I mean, it's like. I mean, obviously there's the way things have been done, but if you want to guarantee anything at this point, you, You. You've got to do it yourself because there's no shame these days. People will lie right to your face, and there's no code. And for Someone like me, I just got frustrated because I like to play by the rules, but when the people on my own team are not playing by the rules, but then breaking. And I'm watching them break them, but let's do this ourselves. And right now, with social media and everything, it's proof that, like, people are taking control. And I love that. How did you three come together? How did this happen? So I'm a part of Freely Films, so it's me, Tania Wright, my wife lashawn. She's a partner in business and in life. We have a production company, and so we were producing this movie called the Comeback a couple years ago, and actually we cast the lead female in the role. And this. This is how, you know, things just happen. And you gotta embrace that opportunity, right? The universe, right? Yeah, the universe just happened. So the agent for the female called me, the female lead called me and said, hey, have you cast the male lead yet? And I'm just bopping around. I'm like, nah, we haven't cast it. We've got a few people we're talking to. Right? And she was like, well, Tay scene. Taye Diggs has seen the script. Would you be interested in Taye Diggs? Now, that was the most obvious. But here's the thing about it. Like, like. And this is how. This is how you can block your blessings. I. I tried to talk her out of it because I was ready. I didn't think I was ready. And we think we're doing the right thing because we think it's humility, but we're getting in our own way. Getting in our own way. And so she talked me into it. She was like, jay, no, this is happening. Embrace it. Run with it. And so that was a couple years ago. He came into Atlanta, where I'm based, shot it, hugely successful on Peacock as well. And rest is history. So we've been collaborating ever since. I'm interested in that because if you write a script, you know, it's great. At least I would think you would know it's great. Why wouldn't you expect anybody to read it and want to be a part of it? That's the crazy thing about the business. Like, what you said makes sense. Yeah, Makes no sense. It makes no sense. Like, if you knew the movies that got turned down and if you saw the stars that were in those movies and what you'd be like, what? There's no rhyme. Or read like, yeah, egos. I mean, it's. Is. Yeah, it's really frustrating because you're raised to think that everything happens for a reason. Like, I knew I was talented. I knew I would. I got. Got into school. When I got into school, I was like, okay, black people. The business is going to need black people. I'm going to move to New York. I can do stage or screen. That happened, and then I got movie after movie. Then all of a sudden, the rules changed. Wait, who are the influencers? Who is it? I don't know who that is. Wait, he got the part over, but he doesn't have any experience. Doesn't matter. He's got followers. What are followers? It's his videos. Videos? Who is anybody paint? No, he just put on videos and. Because he got all. So it's like, you gotta adjust. Yeah, let me do. Do. I can't swear. Let's do this ourselves. Yeah, and we'll. We'll play by their rules, but at least we'll. I won't have the excuse. I can't complain. Now I'm gonna play by your rules, but we're gonna do it our way. Does it bother you when somebody doesn't put in the amount of time that you did, doesn't go to the school, doesn't do the things that you did, and then because of followers or because of social media or because of a funny skit, might get the part over you? Does that bother you at all? I mean, if there's talent there, then it's cool, you know? I mean, for me, I just didn't. It didn't make sense. I didn't care who was doing what. Like, good for you. Whatever they were doing was working. And I was like, good for you. But I don't know what to do right now. Yeah, you know what I mean? Is that why you started showing your ass? Would come in and show me that video, and I'd be like, I'm not. That's why it smells like, how can I make this work for me? All right, well, I'll just be funny and not even. I don't even. I don't even realize that people are watching. I would just, like, express myself and if it worked. Okay. I don't know what's happening, but they say post. I still have to ask him how to. Like, how do I double the. Well, how do I take this and copy, you know? Well, we love. It's a crazy time. Tay Diggs on Instagram and things like, you, money is good, and I apologize. You never saw anybody like the post. What are you talking about? Never saw when he liked the post. He loves your post. I don't even read. I don't even know how to read the responses. You just post and just go about your day. It's like therapy. But you do realize, I mean, that's interesting to see. To hear somebody like T. Diggs feel like they had to do that. How do you think I feel? How do you think I feel? Right. I totally get it. You don't. You don't want me in this movie. You want Joe, who's never acted in his life. And I can't. It's not even. I can't get an audition. I'm not even a part of the conversation. That's crazy. So I was like, I don't. I don't hate that dude. But somebody tell me what's going on with these rules, because I've worked really hard. Yeah. And I like to buy a lot of nice. Really. You know what I'm saying? What. How are we going to do this? Somebody just explained it to me. Yeah. But for a minute, I was like, I was. I would. It was push back. People like to argue. Well, I did this. Well, it doesn't matter. Nobody cares. It seems like the formula is now that a lot of influencers are being casted because they can push the movie easier. Right. But what. But what happened? Because at first, we didn't need that. Nobody needed that. So budgets are smaller. Right? Budgets are smaller. And so when you have an influencer who has 5 million followers, that is free marketing. And so the studio doesn't have to come up with a $1 million marketing budget because they have Jess posted right now. We'll use Jess as a case study. Right. Because I cast Jess in a movie. I hate I love you. I hate I love you. Super, super successful now it's on tube. Be the number one drama on Tubi. I love that right now. Yes. Yes. Excellent. But, you know, we. We saw, obviously, Jess's followers and we said, you know, built in marketing. Right. She could post. It's going to be great. But then I watched her actual acting work. She's great. She can really act. Oh, that's. That was the. That was the clincher, you know, seeing her. And I got a story to tell. That's my. When she cut the woman head off, it was a psychological thrill for us. It worked, right? Yeah, it worked. So I'm like, okay, cool. Well, let me get on this boat. So in Tase, in Tay's example, if you can marry the social media prowess and the following with the talent. Yeah. Like, Jess is married to those two things. You gotta want there. We're still kicking it with Taye Diggs, Troy Brookins, and Jay Carter. They got a new movie, Another Man's Wife, coming out by the end of the year. Jess. Another Man's Wife, that is the name of the film. Okay. Who had what to do? Because that already. That I already want to know. Another man's Wife. Yeah. Who. You. Who wrote that? Whose idea was it? What's happening? Yeah, so it was a. Like the story, it just. It just puts you in a chokehold, you know? And it's. It's about a. A young couple who are struggling, backs up against the wall, losing. Losing their house, losing their car, husband lost his job. And then to make matters. Words. Truly in love with each other. Like they're. Yeah, truly. Yeah. Yeah. The world is just banging on, right? Then the husband finds out his mom has a serious illness and she could die. Dying. The. The. The. The medical treatment that she needs isn't covered by insurance. So they're drowning in debt and just financial issues. Right. So Tay's character comes along and he throws them a life raft. And he said, For $2 million, I can change your life. But he looks at the wife and he says, the only thing I want to return is one weekend with you. Now, this. One weekend that this. This husband is going to give up his wife for. Could save his mother, could save his job, could save his car, could save his house, could save his marriage, but at what cost? Cost. Yeah. So the question that we always ask people, you know, and I'll ask, you know. Yeah. You just envy Charlemagne. Lauren, what would you do? $2 million to save your mom, to save your house, to save your car. Jesus. All. All you got to give up is one weekend. What your wife. Yeah. I ain't giving up my wife, though. But that's the things of translate. Your mom, there's a chance that nothing happens. Yeah. They can play Monopoly because they can watch your wife. So she. All she has to do is go. I know. Looking at my wife, I know nothing will happen, but it's just the fact of pain. Don't say nothing will happen. What if it's Maxwell? Don't your wife love Maxwell? Definitely not. Definitely not. But it's the premise of pain. Yeah. It just. It seems like belittling and the therapy that you would need after it. That's right. You know what I mean? Because your mind, that's a mental thing after. After that. Because she made, you know, you. You. Even though you feel like nothing happened, you'll never know you'll never know. Other doesn't go, though. And all this stuff does happen. You lose a lot of stuff on the back end, so then you still need the men. I mean, I gotta think. You talking about my mom here, like, you're saying that like, I would lose my mom so you don't have to think about this. Fifteen years of Runway. Oh, my Lord. She's 60. Oh, that's too. That's young now. She's 60. Sixty is not old. So what did you do, Jess? You just. Oh, yeah. Two million. There you go. You going, yeah. What you talking about, Charlotte? What happened at. What? Supremacy. What's up? What do we lose now? We lose our mom. Your house. Your mom, your house. What else? Your marriage. Everything crumbles. Not necessarily. Not. It depends on you. If you lose the marriage, I need to see the nuance. Like, do I know who the guy is? Do we have a background on him? Do we know, you know, if he's mentally well, you know what I mean? Yes. He's all above level. He's like, this is me. This is what's going on. I want you to meet me. And there's no manipulation. Everything's right. There's a contract. Tomorrow's Chestnut. Why can't I. That's a sequel. That's a sequel. I'm just saying. I'm going, what you going doing? I'm just kidding. I ain't going to do nothing. I'm just saying, why can't I. Why can't I go? Like, why does it have to be on the guy? Not gay. I was gay. I just said, why can't I go? That's what a man does, right? When you. When you. When it's a job that you don't want your woman to do, you go do it, right? But the guy is like, I don't do it. Like, I don't like dudes. I want your wife, bro. I'm asking for your wife. That type of arrangement. He said, why can't I go? Like, let me do what you want her to do, right? You see, the guy's not diddy. I don't even like how Jay looked at me and said that just now. I want your wife when we can't, what, save your mom? But. But you. You see the conversation that it sparks, right? And so that's what we're. That. That's what we're banking on is, you know, people sitting on their couch, you know, the wife cutting her eyes at her husband, the husband cutting his eyes at his. His wife. Like, you know, well, damn, what would you do? Would you do is a million. What's your number? 2 million, 3 million, 4 million? You know, what will it cost you in the short term and what's gonna cost you in the long term once there's a ripple effect and a fallout. So it's. It just sparks up this really cool dialogue, and then all of the. The relatable issues like that, they're going through even before they get to the point of, you know, Tay's character. Right. Like, a lot of people are going through it. The economy that, you know, they were in, people's moms are, you know, people's parents, period, are getting sick. Insurance is not covering things that they need. Some people don't even have insurance because of, you know, government issues and all that type of thing. So it's like, it's very relatable until you get to the saving grace here, because literally, insurance, an insurance company, they are. They are here to make money. They are. They're not nonprofit. They are a for profit company. So they will say this procedure, this treatment cost too much. When are we releasing. I'm sorry, we. Like, I'm a part of y' all team. When are y' all releasing? Another man's Weight Wife. Yeah. So where be Q? Late Q4. So December or. Or early Q1? 2026. Over the next four months? Look out for it. Absolutely. Well, thank you, brothers, for joining us. What's the name of the production team so we don't forget? Yes, Freely. That's a good question. So it's Freely Films that. That's. That's that's what I bring to the table. And then. And it's down deep right now. Down Deep Productions. Yeah. So we partner together and we'll figure it out. We haven't necessarily catch. Let's figure it out. All right. Got you. Tay's Ass Productions. We gotta support y', all, man. You know what I'm saying? None of this matters if, you know, people don't go out there and support. Say it for the people in the back. But also, y' all gotta make your way back up here when the movie comes out, come back up, talk about so people understand and see it. Thank y'. All. Thank you. Absolutely. Appreciate you. Troy J.

She's out of the UK. He's actually from the UK to. But she's in Brooklyn now. And this song is called Shook one. That's all she reminds me of. Good L. And that's one of my favorite beats ever. That's one of my favorite produced records ever. I mean, Jes, 10 best hip hop beats of all time. Yes. I just like when R and B artists do that because that's. That's like. That's that old school Mary J. Blige. That's them old school lazy K Ron G mashup. I like seeing People sing over the hardcore hip hop record. That's why I love that Erica Badu an alchemist record.

I'm not making any faces. I'm just listening to hear what this is about to be beef. Okay, well, Lotto and Ice Spice were beefing earlier this year. The beef is over. The girls did a record together and I'm actually like. I know they was on Kai Scream last night. I didn't see it. Yeah, they were. They were. And I'm happy to see the unity amongst women. Cuz, you know, I feel like the Beef, the women always end up beefing and then it be a point of no return. Disc record. So yeah. Yeah. What the record sound like though. All right, let's get into it. It's called G. Yeah, but what Ice Spice sound like? I wasn't worried about Lotto was not my concern. Big Lotto gonna do her little thing. Big Lotto was not my concern. All right. Don't be at the Ice Spice. But I did want to hear the Ice Spice version. I'm honest. Ice Spice sounds all right on it. I'm not lying. That's what I'm saying. I gotta be honest. Like you would. You didn't expect. I didn't expect. Be for real. So when you. That's why. So when you asked me what face I was making, that was. It wasn't. Had nothing to do with Lotto. But no, I think. I think Ice Spice actually did. Good. Okay. Cute little video too. I seen the video. They in the wrestling ring. Wrestling. Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy about it. And it my thing. You just never know what Ice Spice. That's all I'm saying. You're right. You just never know. But if she sometimes. Yeah, it veers. You just never know. Step into the ring with certain artists. You gotta come. You can't come with just ad libs. You gotta actually rap. So I'm glad she did that. And also, I think it's just good to see them both being active. Like, I've been waiting on Lotto to drop all summer. Something Lotto tough. Yes. And Atlanta's been going up, so it's like Lotto enter the chat. And she did with a lot going on right now. But this was a great, great song. Lol. Yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah.

Like it's not forced. Like they just. Good. And I feel like you guys are in the same field. Y' all need allies. Why not? You got the same type of vibes. But I just want to give some honorable mention shout outs that dropped today. Reuben, Vincent, ix Wonder dropped. Gotta get it. Party next Door. Drake and Cash Cobain drop Somebody Loves Me Part Two.

We have a few slots left if you want to, like, cop a ticket in person, you know. But yeah, see you there. Question before we go. We had this conversation yesterday about Glorilla, Nicki Minaj. What? So we were talking. We were talking a big. The female rap top three. And in the Billboard interview, they. He said it was Nicki Minaj, Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion. So then we got into the conversation of it, should Glorilla be there and not Nick and Glorilla over Nicki Minaj. I said the big three should be Nikki, Cardi and Glorilla. But then we started having a conversation and I said that. I feel like over the last four years, Gorilla has Been made better music than all of them. Correct. Then we started talking about catalogs. And I said I could watch. I didn't say wash. No, I did not. I said, I. I said Glorilla could compete against Nicki Minaj in the versus. And a lot of people would be surprised at the fact that damn, Glorilla got some joints. Yeah, Glorilla definitely has joints. I think there is no big three for women. And if there is, Nicki Minaj isn't in the conversation with them because Nicki Minaj came out during the blog era. I said that. I said Nicki Minaj has a 15 year head start. And I said, also the time though, man. Nicki Minaj, yes, it does. Cuz Nicki Minaj got way more records. I said, let me tell you why Envy is fake. When the mics was off, Envy said, yeah, man, Gorilla got better. I did not say that. This is exactly what I said.
