Speaker 5 (00:26):
I'm a little mad as somebody that I know yesterday
who asked me crazy questions. So you know, I just
had a baby and shout out to Marley. She's about
to be eight months.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
She don't look nothing like you. Excuse me nothing.

Speaker 6 (00:37):
So what so what you know? How somebody catch up with?
How the baby?

Speaker 7 (00:41):
Ben?

Speaker 6 (00:41):
Baby is great? Out of nowhere? Let me ask you
a question. What would be your stance?

Speaker 5 (00:47):
Like, what would you do if Marley felt like she
grows up and she felt like she was born in
the wrong bounce you.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
May shut up? Shut the hell up, man, sat up
one of my friends, they be sitting here. She was
taking you.

Speaker 6 (00:58):

So I was like, what, I don't want to know
how you answer exactly? I would have said, I used
to identify as your friend.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
To me all of your yo, and it was I
ain't seen this girl, it's so long, and she was
just so happy.

Speaker 6 (01:12):

are you?

Speaker 7 (01:15):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And she's trying to conflate two narratives, like she knows
she want to talk about the new baby, then she
want to talk about old stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Leave me alone, right exactly, like.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
Damn might see her so long?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
That was a second question that she asked. She didn't
even ask like how's the baby doing or anything? She said,
let me see the baby, took a picture and then
she I mean, I showed her a picture, and then
she's like, let me ask you a question, and then
got into that.

Speaker 6 (01:35):
I'm like, oh lord, I'm done.

Good morning morning.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Everybody's DJ Envy Jesse, Larry Is, Charlamagne the guy.

Speaker 8 (02:47):
We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front
page news.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
Good morning, Morgan starts there with your girl front based news.

Speaker 9 (02:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
Okay, morning y'all, Happy day feeling morning morning. See I
got that Winnsday vibe. I'm here.

Speaker 10 (03:02):
Okay, So the Supreme Court, let's get into it, y'all.
The Supreme Court. Another big win for President Trump at
the Supreme Court. He is well, excuse me. The Supreme
Court is siding with President Trump over firings of thousands
of federal workers.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
The High Court rule tuesday that the.

Speaker 10 (03:16):
Trump administration can proceed with the termination of sixteen thousand
probationary employees. The workers were let go across six agencies
and departments associated, of course, with the government, and the
lower court had ruled that the workers would be in
stated as illegal. Challenges proceeded, but the Supreme Court's ruling
rescends that order. So all those people who were probationary

(03:39):
employees terminated by all of those different agencies, Yes, that
that will stand.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Why don't we keep acting like that?

Speaker 11 (03:46):
Not?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Donald Trump's Court, Like, why do we keep backing?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Why why do people hold out hope and faith that
the Supreme Court is going to do the right thing?
When Donald Trump is he built that court.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Damn near he did.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
He sure did a street conserve conservative majority, and he
put three of those people on the court. They already
gave him presidential immunity. I mean, like, what else what
makes us think that the Supreme Court is ever going
to do the right thing?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
So let me ask you, Let me ask you, Morgan.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
So all those people when they ask people to send
an email back of the jobs that they were doing,
and the people that said they weren't going to do it,
and those are the people that's going to get let go.

Speaker 10 (04:19):
If they are probationary, if they've been with the agency
or whatever agency they were with, you know, beyond the
probationary period, then that's a different case. But those probationary employees,
the ones who pay pretty much were within the first
ninety days of their job. Unfortunately, they will not be
able to keep their jobs. Yeah, so I'm saying, yes,
thousands of people will be impacted by that. In other

(04:41):
political news, yesterday, on Tuesday, President Trump gave a keynote
address at the Annual National Republican Congressional Committee, and he's
standing on ten when it comes to tariffs.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Okay. In fact, he said, they're helping. Let's take a
listen to President Trump.

Speaker 9 (04:55):
Many countries have they've ripped us off left and right,
but now it's hard to to do the ripping' That's okay.
We're gonna make our country even stronger, stronger than it
ever was. And I really think we're helped a lot
by the tariff situation that's going on, which is a
good situation, not a bit.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
It's great.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
It's gonna be legendary.

Speaker 9 (05:15):
You watch legendary in a positive way.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I have to say.

Speaker 10 (05:19):
He would want to say he thinks the war with
the world is not one at all because the countries
are coming to the US, adding that Japan has already
on the way, not to mention the additional fifty percent
tariffs on imported Chinese goods that were that went into
effect at midnight as in hours ago and posting eight
one hundred four percent tariff now and in case you
missed it, China announced for retaliatory terariffs against the US,

(05:42):
with Trump promising to raise duties against the country if
they didn't remove the tariffs.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Now.

Speaker 10 (05:46):
Trump also added that China if that until China is
ready to deal, that is what's going to be. He
added that he felt, excuse me, he felt what he
calls legendary tariffs will help the GOP win mid ti
terms in a thundering landslide.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
Now, Press Secretary of white Now.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
If the economy keep going away, that is going. It's
always about the economy. So if he thinks that he's
he's bugging unless he knows something that we don't know
going the way it's going right now, No way, hoose
not that the Democrats.

Speaker 10 (06:19):
But no, no, but he claims, you know, it's gonna
hurt a little bit and then things will ease up.
But you know, Press Secretary CareLine love it, right, We
all do. Right, She tout at the tariff, saying, the
world is clearly responding to President Trump's approach.

Speaker 6 (06:32):
We just talked about China's reaction.

Speaker 10 (06:34):
But Levitt also noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett
and yeahoo, pledged to eliminate the US trade deficit with Israel.
So let's take a listen to White House Press Secretary Caroline.

Speaker 12 (06:44):
Lovitt, American economics surrender is over. President Trump is no
longer going to allow American workers and companies to be
ripped off at the hands of foolish trade practices that
shipped away millions of high paying jobs and hollowed out
commun unities across the country.

Speaker 10 (07:02):
So Levit also added that seventy other countries have reached
out to begin trade negotiations. Of course, meanwhile, Wall Street
has seen three straight down sessions due to volatility caused
by the terrorists before seeing a slight, slight gain yesterday.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
So we'll see what happens in the market today.

Speaker 10 (07:17):
Of course, all of this is because you know, he's like, hey,
let's see who comes to the negotiating table. Let's see
who starts to negotiate these trade deficits, these you know
in trades. You know, China is like, nah, we're not rocking.
Israel's like, okay, cool, we go and eliminate your debt.
So let's see, we'll see what happens. We'll continue to
watch the situation. At seven, we're going to talk about immigration.

(07:39):
It continues the colorations.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Well, thank you Morgan, thank you everybody else, Get it
off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh
five to one. If you need to vent phone line
to wide open. Eight hundred five eight five one oh
five one is the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 13 (07:53):
Good morning the Breakfast Club. Please, this is your time
to get it off your chest. Eight hundred five five
one five to one. We want to hear from you
on the breakfast.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Class and I want to get it off my chest
first before we go to the phone call. This this
is what happened yesterday.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
And I don't know if you guys are aware of
this in New Jersey, it may be some other states.
Yesterday I let a car of mine to somebody so
he can drive. He didn't know his license was suspended.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
He had parking tickets. He paid the parking tickets, but
it didn't go through the DMV. He got pulled over
and got a ticket.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Did you know in the state of New Jersey, if
you lend somebody your car and they have a suspended license,
that you get a ticket to hell? No, Yes, I
got a ticket yesterday because he had a suspended license,
and it's not a ticket that you can pay.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I have to go to court, and if I don't
go to court, I lose.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
My license and I can get jail time with a
thirty days because his license was suspended and he was
driving my car.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I don't see that wrong with that. What do you mean?

Speaker 12 (08:54):
No?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Do you know how sick of court? NBA is No, no,
no dam But.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
I don't see nothing wrong with that, because you know,
lending somebody in your car, it may not seem like
a big deal, but it is. And so if you
loan somebody in your car, you should really make sure
that they are legally able to drive that car. But
he didn't know his license to spending. It's not like
people know he had a parking ticket. It's like he
didn't pay the part.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
He actually paid the parking ticket, but it takes two
days to register the DMV. It didn't register as a yet.
And then also how close are you with him? Like
you got to be closer if you just lend your cars.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Like you don't do that.

Speaker 8 (09:24):
Okay, yeah, so he didn't, so he didn't know he
drove your car.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
That's like if you're letting the car to a family
member and they ain't their license is suspended, they get
pulled over, no accident, nothing.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, I mean I don't know, and then you get
a ticket. You gotta go to court. You got to
hire an attorney. It's crazy. Well, it doesn't make you think.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
It does make you think about who you let loan
your car, because you might let that person loan your card.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
He might go rob a bank.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'm serious, Like they might go commit a crime. So
you really should think about that before you just say, hey,
you're driving my car. Yeah, but it's a family member.
Just like if just says you'll eat, let me ball
your car. I got to drive up to the west
side of the right back. I'm like, yeah, that happens
my child. I can understand that I'm responsible for that
my child just.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
As my friend.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
But no, but you said it a family member, that's
my child. I can I can understand being responsible for
that is wow, I got it.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
Just the fact of the whole situation, Like you have
to go to court.

Speaker 14 (10:05):
You can't just paid.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
You can't pay it.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
You have to go to court because his license was
suspended family members of I just say family, a close friend.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
It's a close friend. So now I gotta stop letting Rome.
My customers got let Rome.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
In.

Speaker 8 (10:22):
His license is suspended, you get it taken as well.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
That's crazy.

Speaker 8 (10:26):

happened to me yesterday.

Beyonce and just different product launches and things that she
has tried to do, and people notably pointing out that,
like you know, sales didn't weren't where they thought that
they should be, or that they weren't successful. But now
there are reports because Beyonce took her sacred hair Caroline
to Alta that she she sold fourteen times first day

(17:48):
projections versus what she did online and at Alta in store.
So the CEO says, her name is Cassia, still says,
so just our e commercells today alone have already doubled
what we thought we would do in the entire week,
and that has nothing to do with what they did
in store. So a big blowout for her now this

(18:09):
hair care line. When it first came out, people were like,
first of all, with this, Beyonce know about hair care?
And why is Beyonce telling us hair care product? But
I think people forget that Miss Tina was doing hair
for like thirty plus years and she grew up doing hair.
Beyonce always talked about in documentaries she would do her
own hair care on tour and things of that nature
because it wasn't being kept up because she would have
to keep changing wigs and different stuff. So I think

(18:30):
people believe this a little bit more, especially because Beyonce
now has begin posting the videos of her showing you
her own hair. Yeah, she's trying to get more personal
through this, so you know, just just congratulation.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
What does know about hair care?

Speaker 7 (18:43):
She got hair?

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Even still they don't say that about Mayel and Camille Rose, like,
you know, we just don't.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
We don't even really know these people, you know. Well,
I'm gonna speak for me.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
I don't know Mayel and Kamil, But when I go
in a hairstore, I'm not gonna be like, well, what
does Kamila Rose know about hair?

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Like?

Speaker 2 (18:58):
I believe you because I know when people.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Exactly But I think nobody says, Kim Kardashi, what does
she know about U underwear?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Whatever about MAP. You can say that about anything, right.

Speaker 20 (19:13):
Well, I think that the reason why people did that
is because with Rihanna and makeup, when Rihanna launched, we
heard from her, We saw her applying the makeup, talking
about it and all that stuff. When Skims launched with Kim,
you see Kim and Skims all the time, behind the
scenes making it. You know, Beyonce is a little bit
more removed sometimes she's not the more connected to their
fan basing to the people.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yep, exactly.

Speaker 20 (19:32):
And even though we don't know the women who own
like the Mayels, well if you know, if you know,
but yeah, I don't know them.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
That's why that was an example the good products.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
They good products, yeah they are. And I don't know
who make pink oil, what the hell is.

Speaker 20 (19:47):
I do know the family that makes pink pink moisture
from Delaware. No, they're not from Delaware. But it's a
black family though it's like it's like multiple generations. Their daughter,
her name is I don't know her grand but her daughter, you.

Speaker 21 (20:04):
Know.

Speaker 20 (20:05):
They booked me for an event and I got to
learn so much about them. The daughter, the grand daughter
who's running right now. Her name is t she runs
the like, don't laugh.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Just talking about that's the special oil.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
He said, pink oil. You can tell he got black
his daughter's using.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yes, right, did he bring out that pink oil he
really likes?

Speaker 20 (20:31):
Yeah, all right, So moving on Quinton Quinton Brunton, who
is the creator of ab Elementary, comedian actor, all that
good stuff. So she sat down with Amy Poler. Amy
Poler has a show and they talked about a bunch
of different things.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
It's called Good Hang.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
With Amy, but one of the big podcast right now.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, and it's actually good.

Speaker 20 (20:53):
Like they do a bunch of different stuff, Like they
phone your friends so your friends can ask questions to
you that am you might not would have known. So
they had like people who been working with Quinca for
years and who were around when she was just talking
about Abba Elementary sending in questions. But one of the
questions that they asked her that was like a big conversation.
In this conversation, which I thought was good, which started
to trend online as well too, was Quinta and what

(21:14):
she knows about white people And she's like, I don't
know them to take a listen to this.

Speaker 22 (21:19):
Are you aware now the bon Jovi and John bon Jovi?

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Are you aware that.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
I don't know white people.

Speaker 19 (21:27):
I know you, I know Tina Fey, I know I
know white people in comedy. I don't I understand the
name Phil Collins. I don't know what Phil Collins looked like.
I don't know that he's different from.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Sorry to that man, that key, key moment, unbelievable was.

Speaker 6 (21:42):
So on point.

Speaker 19 (21:43):
I'm busy how I moved through life. I'm not crazy.
It's crazy to be in a band called John is
John bon Jovi?

Speaker 8 (21:51):
Is being si.

Speaker 22 (21:52):
She doesn't know his original names? Come on, was John
bonji Jovi? The band name was bon Jovi, a sure
version of his real name. So then he started going
by John bon Jovi. But true fans know that it
was bon ji Jovi.

Speaker 19 (22:06):
You know, everything you just said sounds crazy. And the
thing is, I'm supposed to know this, but then I'm
supposed to deal with people who can't tell me. And
Keithy Palmer a part.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Quentin divorced that white man. Now, she don't know none
of y'all anymore.

Speaker 7 (22:16):
Dropping the clue.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Would be proud but I guess that's why she asked
cause she was married to a white guy for what
four or five years?

Speaker 20 (22:23):
No, she asked her because one of Quincy's homegirls, who's
been in her life like way before Abbot Elementary said
one day her and Quincy was just chilling and Quinto
whispered to her for no reason because nobody was around.
She just whispered and was like, yo, is John Bond
Jovie up? Like like she was trying to figure out,
like is this a person?

Speaker 6 (22:40):
Is it a band?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Is it a valid question? I don't.

Speaker 6 (22:42):
I didn't know, Yo, this this white explaining. I had
no idea.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
But also I do that on purpose sometimes just because
of what she said, how she said people can't tell
her and Keithy Palmer Park, I do that on purpose.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
He was like, yeah, who's in the Beatles.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I'll be like Elton John Sting, you know, just to
just to you know, call it a little k about
that giant thing yesterday that we couldn't name one song.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
You named the movie that was hilarious.

Speaker 20 (23:07):
Well, but they also had a that's why I played
Sondra bullet clip. I'm gonna just let y'all here, And then.

Speaker 19 (23:13):
You'll get it, you know who I got mixed up
for the longest time, not anymore. But there was no
reason for me, as a young girl in Philadelphia to
understand the difference between Sandra Bullock and Julia roberts There
was no reason for me to know the difference.

Speaker 23 (23:28):
You might have a little bit of face blindness.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
I do.

Speaker 16 (23:31):
Wow.

Speaker 19 (23:32):
I know Sandra knows now because that's my girl. Of
course I can tell you guys to part down. But
when the growing up, sure, no reason for me to
know that, sure, And when people are like you don't know.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I didn't know Sandra bull looked like that growing up,
but I definitely knew Julia robertson.

Speaker 6 (23:45):
I swear to you, but by name or just bad
it literally me as a kid, I thought.

Speaker 20 (23:53):
I had to write the Sondra Julia Roberts on the back,
just so I didn't mess it up in here, because
of course I know them by face, but sometimes I
didn't get the names.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Julie has been in more movies that I actually like,
like Pretty Women, The Oceans, Charlottes Web. I cant name
The Ocean twelve, I can't name the.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
Characters, but I can't just name the name. Sometimes I
can't same congeniality. The third box this is this is
so much.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I love both of them.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
But when I was old enough to figure out, like
when I was younger, I was like, they the same person.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
I swear, But they are both too of my favorite
white woman.

Speaker 15 (24:24):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I think you should get white people mistaken on purpose,
because they do it to us, just for the chaoss,
just for the confusion on their face.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Sometimes I just.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
Got a headline.

Speaker 20 (24:36):
Martin Luther King Junior paid the bill for Julia Roberts birth.
Here's the backstory from MPR. Brandon just sent me this to.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Get out of here. Oh no, that is true. THO
I heard that before that was something like that. I
don't know if it's true for birth.

Speaker 20 (24:50):
Really quick, rapping and wrapping up. According to m PR,
the world is finally learning the fact that Julia Roberts
birth was paid for by Martin Luther King Junr and
Coretit Scott King. The connection between the two famis he
wasn't a secret, but it resurfaced in a big way
before Julia's birthday October twenty eighth a few years ago,
because she interviewed about it.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
I was gonna say, how old is Julia? I don't
know what she is name. Her parents had no insurance
and so they just I don't know. I'm looking through
the article right now. I just got said to me. Okay, yeah,
the birth. They paid for the birth. Okay, that's what's up.

Speaker 20 (25:23):
Oh No, they were poor. They couldn't pay for the hospital.
She was born in Georgia in nineteen sixty seven, and
they ran a theater school and the writers and actors
were workshopping. One day, cared A Scott called her mom
and asked her kids could be a part of the school.
So that's how the relationships go. Wo wow okay, And
they became friends and helped us out, helped them out
in the gym.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
And she did an interview about that a few years ago.

Speaker 20 (25:43):
Yep, that's what resurface. That's what NPR's quoting is that interview.
So basically she had the cookout, all right, wow, that is.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
No's your problem. No, I paid for your birth.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
You willa come over here? Yeah, I didn't say she
was burning potato, slid relaxed. We got a rip up.
She gonna be cleaning up the house.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Oh my gosh, all right, we got front page news next,
and then Kerry Hilson will be joining us.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
Good morning, you're checking out the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Warning everybody is dj NV Jess hilarious, Charlamagne de God.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some
front page news.

Speaker 8 (26:15):
What's up, Morgan, Well, let's do it.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Okay, let's talk immigration and the IRS.

Speaker 10 (26:20):
So the IRS is agreeing to help ICE find illegal
immigrants by sharing.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
Information with the agency.

Speaker 10 (26:27):
Court documents show the IRS will provide the Department of
Homeland Security with information for migrants who are either under
federal investigation or are already facing deportation. Now, the IRS
had worn the Trump administrations the plan to use it
for excuse me, the IRS had worn the Trump administration
the plan to use it for information could be illegal.

(26:49):
So as a result, the acting IRS Commissioner is resigning.
Multiple reports say Melanie Kraus is stepping down after the
agency agreed to share illegal immigrants tax information with federal
immigration agents. Now across as the third person to lead
the agency since January. And remember she herself was just
acting and Doug O'Donnell was acting commissioner as well until

(27:10):
announcing his retirement last month.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
So it looks like the I R. S Agency is
looking for a new head.

Speaker 10 (27:16):
While also, uh, you know, talking with ICE to find
those illegal migrants and get the information on illegal micros.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
So Morgan she stepped down because she was upset that
the illegal immigrants.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
Had to share their tax information that is alleged. Yes, yes, and.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Please why should the illegal immigrants be sharing their tax information?

Speaker 10 (27:36):
No, I don't think that's the thing is it's it's
they already share their tax information because you know, some
of them are you know, filing taxes here as long
as they're working. But matter, it's it's a matter of
the the ICE crackdown now that you know, now that
they've been well, well yeah, now it's it's it's a
matter of ICE using that information to locate and find them, which.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
You know, information to locate find us. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
But I guess what they're saying is is now, if
you're an immigrant, in legal immigrant, you're not.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Gonna pay your taxes.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Why would you pay your taxes and try to do
the right thing if they just gonna give the information
to where you at pretty much in America?

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, but if you if so if you pay you,
if you pay your taxes, this gonna get you.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I guess my whole thing is like, you know, yeah,
just I guess if you're gonna go through all that,
you might well just go through the process of trying
to be in a be in a legal citizen a
lot of a lot.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Of but it takes time. It takes years, It could
take years.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
And they also say yesterday that they're opening up an
ice office at Rightkers Island in the jail.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
They're going to open up an office right then and there.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Why, I guess when people get arrested and they're not
necessarily a citizen, take them right there.

Speaker 7 (28:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (28:40):
But not only that, you know, there's because of that
new Supreme Court ruling where you know you can't shift
the migrants. Well basically you can get rid of the migrants,
but there has to be a due process, you know,
with that with that ruling. So maybe that's essentially what's
happening with that Riker space, that they're going to have
some due process before they get rid of them.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Room question, would you be an ice informant if the
IRS give you tax breaks? A Diaris said, Hey, you
don't got to pay taxes?

Speaker 7 (29:04):
For a year.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
But you've got to be an ice informant or you
just like informant one, or they put your name out.

Speaker 7 (29:10):
I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
You got to be an informant.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
You got to point out, you got to tell people
where you think there might be some illegal immigrant activity.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Gang members only. I don't know what it is, but
would you though I would? All right?

Speaker 6 (29:25):
So meanwhile, white house boarders are.

Speaker 10 (29:28):
Tom Holman is highlighting the Trump administration's efforts to secure
the southern border. On Tuesday, Tom Holman spoke to Arizona
lawmakers before a special joint session at the state capitol
in Phoenix. He said, when the job is done, the
border will be more secure than it's ever been. Let's
take a listen to those comments from borders are Tom Holman.

Speaker 16 (29:45):
We're gonna get this job done with no apologies. When
we're done, rather most secure border in the history of
this nation. We're gonna make this country savor every criminal
alien we arrest, every gang member, we arrest every TDA
MS thirteen member we arrest the other country. This country
much safer. This administration right now on power is going
to have for the first time in history of this

(30:05):
nation have total operational control over southern border under President Trump.
It's going to happen. You take that to the bank.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
You take that to the bank and cash that check.

Speaker 10 (30:14):
Well, he went on to say more people have been
arrested in the first two months of President Trump's second
term compared to former President Biden's last year in office.
He also added that he's happy, but not satisfied, and
there's more work to be done. The address also focused
on current border challenges and cooperation between federal and state government.
Several state Democratic lawmakers walked out during that speech and protest.

(30:37):
But I got one more story for y'all, Metta. You guys,
everybody use this Instagram. Everybody uses Facebook, right, and it's
use it as well as you know. The kids and
the teens are starting to ask for pages and stuff
like that. So Meta is Take is aiming to make
Instagram safer four teens with new safeguards, so the tech
company announced on Tuesday that teens under sixteen years old
will not be able to use the live feature without

(30:58):
their parents' permission. Instagram will also require parental permission to
turn off the feature that blurs suspected.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
Nudity in dms.

Speaker 10 (31:07):
Meanwhile, Meta will offer teen accounts for Facebook and Messenger
that provides similar protections, and the company said there are
now fifty four million teams around the world with Instagram
teen accounts since launching last year. So look at Mata
trying to make an effort to keep the kids safe.
I absolutely love.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
That at all. And no, wait, before I want to ask.

Speaker 10 (31:28):
You guys, I mean not to say like this, I'll
put your kids out there, but your kids have Facebook
or social media essentially or not necessarily fail.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
But the kids kids don't have Facebook.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
They do have social media, yeah TikTok, but and they
do have Instagram where they connect with their friends from dance.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
But I'm all over it. Pause.

Speaker 10 (31:46):
Yeah, no, no, that's essentially what I'm asking you know,
how do you regulate and how do you know stay
on top of them with that and make sure that
things are safe.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Now giving myself all over our kids social media.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
We make sure you know who's following them their private
they able to see certain things.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
We're all over it.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
And I have actions log ins. He's only on TikTok
and on uh Instagram. B I have his logins.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
I check his Internet history everything because he's a boy
and he's pushing into that teenage you know space. So yeah,
I'm all over them.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
No, that's what it all. That's what it's all about.

Speaker 10 (32:17):
I think, you know, sharing just what you guys are
saying can help other parents, you know, navigate that space,
because there are some parents who don't even use it themselves.
Within their kids may come and say, hey, can I
have an Instagram page? And but you don't know what
you're getting yourself into. So to know that you guys
are regulating your kids pages and also you know, keeping
an eye on things.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
You know.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Yeah, definitely, I knew I had to start going through
his phone when he called me beloved, beloved, I didn't.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
I went in there and yeah, but yeah, don't call
people belove it.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
You know you're not watching a bunch of no no, no,
I know that's not who you watch it.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
But he laughed like it might be a trend. That's
what made me go in space, like to see if
it's a trend, but it's not.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
Just was like, can you close my door, beloved? And
that was it. But when they start, no, Ron has
never called me beloved.

Speaker 10 (33:13):
Better than Baltimore dummy?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Right yeah, yeah, like yo, don't do that. What about bro,
because these kids you broke? Yeah, he doesn't stop.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Calling me bro because he started, and I'm like, I'm
not your brother. Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Beloved he say King, You say Champ, King, King and Champ.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
I never heard that man say belove it. That is crazy, Okay,
got it?

Want to have everybody's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
We are at the Breakfast Club Longer Rosa.

Speaker 8 (34:11):
Is here and we got a special guest in the building.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yes, indeed, Kerry Hilson. Welcome. How you feeling as.

Speaker 8 (34:19):
It's been a long time since we've seen me back
some new music?

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Where you've been how many times. You don't heard that question.
Since you've been making the rounds. Where you've been, where
you've been a lot, I've been.

Speaker 11 (34:27):
I've been around. I've been alive. Clearly, I've been doing movies.
I had been doing making music, couldn't release it, but
been around, definitely, been around, been released, been finding my happy.
Contractual issues, you know that all over the freedom that's
all over.

Speaker 23 (34:43):
I'm free. I belong to myself.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
It was an independent Yeah, oh wow, Okay.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Was that your choice? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (34:49):
Wow, Like because really, because I'm not the same girl
I was at twenty when I signed that contract, however
old I was, it was around that early twenties. Like,
I'm not that person anymore, and now I deserve a
lot more say in my career and the decisions I
make and the songs that I'm cutting and the and releasing,
and you know, I just you deserve that control.

Speaker 23 (35:09):
You've kind of outgrown things.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
So people would think.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
That as an artist, you're able to do what you
want to do musically, but you're basically saying that's not
necessarily true.

Speaker 23 (35:18):
It was not the case for me. I was signed
to a label and a sub label that had its
own heads.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 11 (35:25):
So, yeah, there were there were I released songs that
I didn't really love. I had to record songs I
didn't love. So even though I was known like as
a songwriter, I was a new artist. So there are
things that you kind of you got to play the
politics game. And to me, that doesn't really go with
art being political.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Why wouldn't they trust you, especially because of your.

Speaker 11 (35:45):
Opinion, right, I mean, I think to a certain degree,
But again it was just politics sometimes over my feelings,
the statements I want to make the artists I see
myself as. It was just like, no, but you have
to we have to have a song by this producer
because I've had this side conversation with that producer promised
that song on your album basically, and no matter how
the session turned out, we got to put this out.

(36:05):
So it's like, you know, things like that can happen.
And no, I didn't have to say because I wasn't distributing.
I wasn't you know what I mean On that end
of things.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
When you think about Kerry Hillston, like you were everywhere
in the late two thousands writing, you were your own artists,
and then you took a step back. Was that intentional
or was it the industry book kind of made you like,
you know what, I don't want to be involved? Or
did they push you out a little bit, like what
was it?

Speaker 11 (36:29):
No? It was definitely very intentional. I was actually going
through quite a bit personally. I was really really depressed
and at the height of my second album One Night
Sam was out, Pretty Gold Rock was out, These are
huge you know, Knock You Down was still even in rotation,
you know what I mean? Like things were really really good,
but I was really really low, really really bad. But
it was personal for the most part, and some professional

(36:51):
woes again, not having a say in decisions that are
being made that I have to stand for and represent
and that with whatever level of grace I could have
for those.

Speaker 23 (37:02):
Decisions being made for me.

Speaker 11 (37:04):
Just you don't you don't always agree with who you
do business with. Absolutely, but yeah, it was my choice
for sure.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
No, okay, And how did you get out of that phone?
Because you went in depression? How did you get out
of that depressure? Was it more writing? Was it family?

Speaker 16 (37:16):
Was it?

Speaker 6 (37:16):
All of it?

Speaker 11 (37:17):
All of that and vacations and philanthropy and exercising and
and like journaling, writing, you know, privately and for others
spiritual retreats.

Speaker 24 (37:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (37:30):
I went on what I call Eat, Pray Love.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (37:33):
So, and there were times where I would just say
yes to shows that were in places that.

Speaker 23 (37:38):
I wanted to visit, you know what I mean. Yeah,
like otherwise I'm not performing like I want to go there.
Yeah so yeah.

Speaker 20 (37:45):
So with the album We Need to Talk, you have
this digital series called We Need to Talk as well,
and it's like you to you conversation. It's carry Hilson
to or carry Lynn talking to Carry Hilston. Yeah, and
you got very a versus me, you versus you. You
got very indepth about a bunch of different things, relationship ship,
you know, just coming back and doing this whole thing again,
the press runs and all that different stuff. And now
you've been out, you've been talking to some press. Is

(38:08):
it what you expected it to be? Do you feel
like people are like because it kind of seemed like
you think you thought people were going to be out
to get you and you wanted to protect yourself from that.

Speaker 6 (38:14):
Coming back into it, I still think that she's very
like skeptical.

Speaker 23 (38:20):
I'm just cautious to you, it has.

Speaker 11 (38:23):
Right because it wasn't this salacious. It wasn't quite this
ugly or nasty or like you know, driven by negativity.
It just wasn't that when I was, when I was
last year sitting in this chair. So yeah, I'm freaking say,
it was already exactly exactly and now it's just worse.
So yes, that that fear is real. That is that

(38:43):
is a dialogue that I have with myself daily. It's
it's literally a prayer at night. It's just like, ah,
And the struggle really is how authentic and truthful can
I be when I don't feel safe, like when that
is not intact, when your safety is not there, Just
like in a relationship, you're not your most vulnerable when
you don't feel safe, Like, no, you're not going to

(39:04):
open up, you're not going to have these innermost feelings
be expressed.

Speaker 23 (39:08):
But it's part of what we do. So I have
to find that even in the environment.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
So when you talk about the depression and you talk
about the spiritual journey, the spiritual healing, what did that
chapter of your life teach you about purpose?

Speaker 25 (39:20):
Mm?

Speaker 11 (39:21):
It taught me how dangerous it is to step away
from your purpose, to step out of your purpose and
away from your gifts. But it also taught me on
the flip side of that, that sometimes you have to
do what is necessary to re engage with your purpose
in a better way. And so both of those things
happen for me, learning that it was necessary to pick

(39:41):
it back up, but it was also necessary to be
boundaried and not have it by any means at any cost,
but to protect myself in certain ways.

Speaker 23 (39:49):
So yeah, I learned a lot about purpose.

Speaker 20 (39:51):
You have a song on the project we need to
talk called weigh Me Down, And then I hear you
talk about purpose and just stepping back into things. And
I know there's different things that can weigh up and down.
But were you ever worried that the weight that made
you want to step away and take some time would
make you forget or you know, just lose.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
The passion for the purpose.

Speaker 11 (40:08):
Yes, I was concerned with that, and it did happen.
I lost passion for quite a while. It was really
difficult to create. At times, my life was radio silent.
I didn't listen to music, I didn't sing or hum
in the shower like I did since I was yay high, like,
I lost so much passion for it. But I realized

(40:28):
that that was really it was also necessary talk about
clean slate. That's what you know, me stepping away created
the cleanest slate possible. And that's why it's so scary
because I'm so freaking peaceful, Like life is calm, it's cool.
I like, I like my friendships, I like my circles.
I like the safety that I feel in daily life.

(40:49):
And stepping back out into the spotlight, That's what the
fear is really all about, is like, am I gonna
lose how safe I feel? Am I gonna lose my peace,
my sanity, my mental health? Am I going to be affected?
It's you know, because it's the sleep deprivation, and you know,
just not not just comments. I have a thick skin
because I'm so much more self aware also of who

(41:10):
I am, also what I'm here to do and what
my gifts are with my weak strains and weaknesses. Like
I'm very clear, so I don't think that they will
ever cut me the same way, but it being there
at all is just can spark a little fear.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Well, what puts you to come back out done?

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Because I mean it's you're making music, making money from writing.
You've wrote in so many records. I mean, I'm looking
at your desography now, it's just so many records. What
made you say, you know what?

Speaker 8 (41:34):
I want to put that foot back out and go
in the line of fire.

Speaker 11 (41:37):
I felt I felt clogged. I felt burdened, clogged, stuck,
And that would really sum it up. I felt like
there I had more to more, to say, more to
do because I know I say it in the Me
Versus Me series.

Speaker 23 (41:52):
Like I wasn't done. I sat down for a second,
but I never felt done. I toyed with the idea
like am I am?

Speaker 6 (41:58):
I finished?

Speaker 11 (41:58):
Do I ever want to do that again in that way?
But the answer was yes, just my way. I have
to have a certain level of control now over you know,
my my image, my brand, my words, my my dialogue,
it's just all the stuff. But yeah, I just felt
like there was there is so much more and I
never stopped creating. So I also know it's in the
arsenal and my confidence was built back up and in

(42:22):
recent years I just felt ready.

Speaker 23 (42:24):
I felt ready.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
We got more with Kerry Hilson when we come back.
Her new album We Needed Talk comes out April eighteenth.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
It's the Breakfast Club, good Morning.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
One of everybody isj n Way, Jesse, Larry Is Charlamage
the guy.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
We are the breakfast Club law the Roses here as well.

Speaker 8 (42:38):
We're still kicking it with Kerry Hilson Charlamagne.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
You said you was getting over a heartbreak. Was that
one of the reasons that you had.

Speaker 7 (42:44):
To take it?

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yes?

Speaker 23 (42:45):
Step back, Yes, I was in a relationship for eleven years.
Such is a long time.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
That was not search.

Speaker 11 (42:51):
It was before search, ok yeah, right before oh Reba, No,
it wasn't real. It was years in between a little bit.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Let him know he was a rebound. Surage. You are
a rebound Okay. I don't know if you knew that,
but you are.

Speaker 23 (43:06):
It's not true.

Speaker 6 (43:09):
And he's gonna look straight the camera too.

Speaker 24 (43:10):
What he was.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Shake the camera.

Speaker 23 (43:13):
It's crazy, straight to camera. He was not a rebound.

Speaker 11 (43:16):
It was maybe three years after that eleven year relationship
was over. I do believe in healing in between relationships.
I do believe in that, so I'll be single for
years in between relationships.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
I think that's the one problem with being an artist
is that nobody believes that y'all are real people, and
so when you are going through real things, nobody will
take that into consideration. It's more entertaining for them to
be like the be Ive ran out of town, right.

Speaker 11 (43:43):
That's way more entertaining. But also because I think when
you're rich, like people are like they don't empathize with you.
Sure they can know you're human, but they don't give
they don't care because they're like, whatever, she's rich, she'll
be fine.

Speaker 23 (43:55):
It's like, Damn, I ain't got no heart, you know,
I can't feel. I can't go through love and heart
breaking like you know.

Speaker 20 (44:01):
I think people don't realize how much noise that they
throw it like gets to you or not, even if
it doesn't break you, but like you see it, you
can't not see it.

Speaker 8 (44:09):
It's i'ntrolled and jumped before it was the thing.

Speaker 6 (44:11):
But I was going to say because it wasn't jumped, Well,
I was never jumped.

Speaker 23 (44:15):
No one ever put their hands.

Speaker 20 (44:16):
On carry like baby, don't play with me though? Right
from Atlanta, Yeah, okay, it came out real quick. No,
I think he's talking about the bee hot just all
of the comments and stuff from the song leak and
all that stuff, and now today at this point, are

(44:37):
you looking like when you look back at that, Because
and people will bring it up. So I'm sure you're
kind of preparing yourself for that. How do you do
You not even explain it, but like, how do you
look back on that? What are your comments on it?

Speaker 16 (44:47):
Now?

Speaker 6 (44:47):
So far removed from it.

Speaker 11 (44:49):
It's a regret. It's a regret, but not in the
way that people would think, because that's a song that
I actually didn't write. Those are not my words.

Speaker 6 (44:55):
I was on tour.

Speaker 11 (44:57):
Hold On One just wanted me to do a remix
to turn me on. He had produced the record, and
I wasn't because I was on tour with Lil Wayne.
I wasn't able to like lay anything down. He had
been on me for a couple of weeks about we
got it, we need to do a remix, Okay, so
I take off. It wasn't happening quick enough for him.

Speaker 23 (45:14):
I take off.

Speaker 11 (45:14):
We fly in and he had another writer in our
camp at the time. He had her write this. But
I come into the studio and he plays me this
verse and I'm like, automatically, I'm like, I'm not saying
that that was my position and.

Speaker 23 (45:29):
That Shane, when you heard it, yeah, yeah you could,
but you.

Speaker 11 (45:34):
I didn't know really who it was about. But I mean,
one could guess, and it just was I'm like, I'm
an athlete, but I'm a finesse player. I'm not a
nasty player. I'm not a dirty player. I don't even
look at things like that. But we we disagree there,
Polo and I, because he believes in kind of the
shock jock mentality. He believes in kind of playing dirty.

(45:55):
So I tried to find him on it and I
began writing my own. That's what I did with my
time there, but he I want to be careful with
the word I use.

Speaker 23 (46:05):
It was quite.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Forceful in an executive artist.

Speaker 11 (46:08):
Yeah, in an executive artist way, only involving others and
kind of threatening my career in a sense in a
real sense, like you're not coming because my album wasn't
out yet, so it was like, you're not coming out
of you.

Speaker 7 (46:19):
Don't do this.

Speaker 23 (46:20):
The mistake that I made was not continuing to fight.
But I was in tears. I was crying. I was
adamant that I did not want to do that.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
You were actually signed, Tolo.

Speaker 11 (46:28):
I was signed to Polo and Timola Yep in a
joint venture at Interscope Records.

Speaker 23 (46:32):
Yep and I was young. I was super young. I
felt I had no power.

Speaker 11 (46:36):
I felt I had no choice, but I did record
mine my version, which had nothing like that in it.
It was on subject the song is about men, and
it leaked like days after I did it. But he
promised me that wouldn't happen.

Speaker 23 (46:49):
So it leaked and that was that was that.

Speaker 11 (46:52):
And I protected him. I protected the girl that wrote it,
who went on to become famous. I protected everyone in
the story. So I had to eat that. I had
to eat that, and I am still eating it to
this day because I'm getting asked about that fifteen However,
many years, sixteen, seventeen years later.

Speaker 23 (47:09):
It's like I've worn the scarlet letter.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Really, I'm sorry. But when you answer it once like
it's done, people like actual answer. I think that makes
it go.

Speaker 25 (47:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (47:17):
I was going to say, I think this is the
first time I've heard this I have before, But yeah,
maybe you guys is a beautiful platform, a big one,
and maybe hopefully this is the last time I need
to talk about that.

Speaker 11 (47:29):
But that is definitely a regret of not fighting even stronger.
But I again, when your career is on the line
and they make it, that be the way that you
perceive the situation not perceived, but it was pretty clear.

Speaker 23 (47:41):
But when you're that young, you're just.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Kind of like, maybe they know better than me.

Speaker 23 (47:46):
Right, Well, I never felt like they were right. I
never felt like they were right.

Speaker 11 (47:50):
But because my authenticity said the entire time, can't this
can't be the only way to become like I was
already doing well, and in my eyes, although gained the
popularity and the recognition the song. Okay, we had a
lot of spins, but from that moment on, I was like,
this ain't even my path anymore. I think he just
went because they were partners. I think he just went along,

(48:13):
but I didn't. I don't remember that we involved him,
or that he was involved at all, because he didn't.
He hadn't produced that record. But I wonder now I
would love to ask him, like, what do you what
did you think about that? What I do know is
he went on to work with B and Jay and
tour with him, and so did Polo, And I'm sitting
there like wow. But but again, I protect I never
I was trying to keep peace, also not wanting to

(48:34):
put my career.

Speaker 23 (48:35):
They were still my bosses.

Speaker 11 (48:37):
I didn't want to put my career further into detriment, So,
you know, I just didn't want to step in the
anymore though, So I didn't want to hold no magazine
with her on the I just was like shook. So
whenever anybody brought it up, probably the last time we
were here, like please, don't bring up Beyonce. It was
probably that kind of environment because I was shook.

Speaker 23 (48:53):
I was scared.

Speaker 11 (48:54):
I was not of hurt, like I love her. I
think she's incredible. She's one of the greatest artists of
all time. I'm a fan, have always been. That's never
been in question for me.

Speaker 23 (49:03):
But now I just it's a name. I can't say,
it's a magazine.

Speaker 11 (49:07):
I can't hold it's a conversation I don't want to
have publicly, just because I don't want to piss anybody off.
I don't want to make things even more weird than
they already were. I just wanted it to go away.
I wanted it to go away. I wanted it off
my scarlet letter, you know what I mean. I wanted
to clean myself up and just have the career that
I wanted to have, but I didn't.

Speaker 7 (49:24):
Know how to do that.

Speaker 23 (49:24):
I didn't know cleaning it up would mean that it
just felt like a messier situation.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
What did your team say when the backlash happened. Did
they just step away and say you are your own now?

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Or did they would have felt like what?

Speaker 11 (49:36):
It felt like everyone went on to normal. See, and
I'm the only one left. I'm being crucified. I'm being murdered.
And I would say, Carrie the human was looking at
Carrie Hillson the artist, like you deserve that. You should
have fought harder. I understood it, I got it.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Give yourself grace.

Speaker 23 (49:54):
Well, it's tough to do.

Speaker 11 (49:55):
I've never felt like shooting anyone else down for their
greatness made me greater. So I just felt like that
was such an ungraceful mistake to make or to be
forced to do, and to not stand up for myself.

Speaker 23 (50:07):
That was the shame that I wore.

Speaker 11 (50:09):
Was like, I should have fought harder, should have fought harder.
I should have fought hard I should never have done it.
I should never have recorded that.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
I should have outed.

Speaker 11 (50:15):
Them well before now I should have you know what
I mean? And I still am protecting the writer because
I feel like like she might have been doing what
was she was told to do.

Speaker 8 (50:23):
I hope that have you spoke to Beyonce or run
into her because the industry is small it is.

Speaker 11 (50:27):
We ran into each other at a at was it
b T Awards and she introduced herself. She I didn't
see her coming, but she came and her hand was
out and she introduced. She was like, Hi, I'm b Or.
She may have said her whole name, but it was
some award show by the trailers, so backstage area, and
she had introduced herself.

Speaker 23 (50:44):
And I felt like, you know she was. That was
a little bit of like, you know, I see you well.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
I I've tod. I mean I've been I've only been
around her a few times, but I've seen her.

Speaker 23 (50:56):
Welcome high, I'm Beyonce, Like okay, I thought it was G.

Speaker 15 (51:00):
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
She did that to me in the club one time
I met her, and then one time at the other
radio station she comes out checking.

Speaker 18 (51:07):
No I do.

Speaker 23 (51:07):
I thought it was G. I thought it was real G.

Speaker 11 (51:09):
I was like with that.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
I like that.

Speaker 11 (51:11):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Why did you try to have a conversation?

Speaker 23 (51:14):
We just wasn't the place I hoped to always have
that be if you're out there, I love you. I
would love to do that.

Speaker 11 (51:19):
I would love to clear that up, because, like I said,
I'm a fan, there's utmost respect for who she is
as a songwriter, as a performer, as a woman, as
a mom, Like, so much respect for her.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
All right, well let's get into a Carrie Hillson minimix.
It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning, This Morning everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne to God, Laura Roast's head
as well. We're still kicking it with Kerry Hillson. Her
album We Need to Talk comes out April eighteenth.

Speaker 20 (51:43):
Lauren if Polo, no, Like if they came back and said, hey,
let's today, I don't know. If they tried to have
a conversation like we're in a different space to me, yeah,
to you, would you are you?

Speaker 6 (51:52):
That conversation would be down ahab.

Speaker 11 (51:53):
I think the conversation needs to be to y'all. That's
I felt unprotected. I felt like abandoned. I think the
conversation is to the public. I've forgiven him.

Speaker 23 (52:03):
He's actually even has records on this album.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
We have worked.

Speaker 11 (52:08):
I can be around like I'm a really forgiving person.
And again, I took full accountability all this time.

Speaker 6 (52:14):
I just wore it. I ate it, I wore it,
I lived it.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
But before y'all worked, do you say we need to talk?

Speaker 11 (52:20):
No, we were talking the entire time, Like I never
I'm not a spiteful individual.

Speaker 23 (52:24):
I don't harbor ill I would. I have said many
times how.

Speaker 11 (52:27):
I felt, you know what I mean, the whole while
he to this day, he just the definition of gaslighting.

Speaker 20 (52:32):
But I don't understand the working relationship then, because like
hearing you talk about him, and I seems like some
of you want to rataniously put yourself around.

Speaker 11 (52:39):
Well, but he can never force me to do anything
I don't believe in. Again, that's what I know about me,
So I can be around someone and know that I'm
in control of me. Now, you know what I mean,
You'll never make the same exact mistake twice. I will
never let that man coerce me to do anything ever again.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
It is what it is.

Speaker 11 (52:57):
But I will keep him at a certain distance in
certain decision. He's a great producer.

Speaker 23 (53:02):
He ain't gonna like it.

Speaker 11 (53:04):
He's not gonna like it, but like it is my truth,
and it's more important for me to be honest and
truthful and authentic now, honestly, if that lifts part of
the burden were fans and and for myself, I guess today.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
It had to be said, you know, do you feel secure, Like,
do you feel protected now?

Speaker 6 (53:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (53:24):
Because I got me, I do.

Speaker 11 (53:26):
And also this man right here, mister Jones, he's been
with me my entire ride from album one at some point. Yeah, yeah,
it's been that long, and he is he's literally my protector.
He's I've never seen an artist manager dynamic quite like this,
where I know, no matter even if you're even if

(53:49):
you were trying to get me to do something that
is against my better judgment, it ain't even gonna get
past him. It's not even gonna get to me because
he saw all that, he saw me pay for everything,
he saw me.

Speaker 23 (53:57):
He was with me, you know what I mean.

Speaker 11 (53:59):
I'm sure he felt some of even as a manager,
he probably felt some of the same feelings I felt
about his own career, which is a thing I'm just realizing, like, yeah,
he probably had some embarrassment shamee, you know, but we
went through it all together and here we are still here.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Was it really I mean, I know personally you had
it things. What was the industry really that bad? Like,
was the beehive and all of it was that real,
like when they were coming at you, that had anything
to do with you taking the.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Step back that you took.

Speaker 11 (54:25):
Yeah, that was the other side of it. So it
was a heartbreaking that. Yeah, that's what I was saying
in the beginning of our interview. Yes, it was that
it was like me wearing the mistakes, but it wasn't
necessarily Okay, no CDs were ever thrown at me. That
would have been a totally different story because it would
have gone very differently. Yeah, that was a rumor that
they said that they threw Beyonce CDs at me on
the street or something wherever they said that happened that

(54:47):
had never happened.

Speaker 23 (54:48):
It was online.

Speaker 11 (54:48):
It was like the what did you call it, online
jumping online troll. Yes, it was like no matter what
I posted, the response was bees, no matter what I said,
no matter what the caption was, no matter how beautiful
I look, no matter what how why I'm on this carpet,
no matter what.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
It was like.

Speaker 11 (55:08):
Just everywhere you know, online and interviews as well, Like
it was like I couldn't do anything on my own
without her name being mentioned, which yeah, it just I
couldn't live it down. I just felt like I could
everywhere I went. They're like, so Carrie, and I was
just I was just freeze. I was just freeze. That's natural.
And I'm like, I don't want to step in it.
I don't want to say anything wrong. I don't want

(55:28):
to say anything else wrong, Like, I don't want to
step in it. So I'm just gonna be quiet. And
eventually it came to I don't even want to show
up anymore. I don't even want to go go anywhere.
I don't want to do anything. I just don't want
to do this anymore.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
And was their industry backlash, Like, did people start fronting
on you because they wanted to be in her good graces?

Speaker 11 (55:46):
Probably it's fair to suggest that probably some of the
people that I had been working with took that position,
But I wouldn't know.

Speaker 23 (55:55):
But if I would say, it's likely not.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
The only person you should be protecting, now, was you right?

Speaker 10 (56:00):
Right?

Speaker 2 (56:00):
That's all I know nothing to nobody right.

Speaker 23 (56:03):
That part, that part, And that's how I feel.

Speaker 11 (56:06):
The only thing I owe anybody is me and to
have the fresh start that I've been fighting for now,
that's that's what I owe myself.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Well, let's get into a joint off the album. Let's
get back to the music. What do you want to
hear off the album?

Speaker 23 (56:18):
I think all we can play is big, all right.

Speaker 8 (56:20):
So let's get into it right now.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Talking about somebody they're talking about No, no, she got
the Temptation story that comes out April twenty six on Lifetime.

Speaker 11 (56:32):
Yes, right fame, Yes, April twenty sixth, and my album
drops the eighteenth, so like a week.

Speaker 20 (56:38):
Before that, and the telling them about the series on YouTube.
I really want people to go watch you with the
music and it's a background to.

Speaker 11 (56:45):
You, Yes, and it kind of sums up the conversation
we've had this morning, yep, and how I feel coming
back in So that I think is the breast a
great preface to hearing the music. So yes, it's on
my YouTube page at carry Hilson. You'll see a series
called Me versus Me six episodes. They're shorts, and the
album is actually released in three parts. That's what I

(57:05):
thought you were gonna say, But it's released in three parts,
so you're I've been gone so long. I was like,
I owe people more than just one EP or one album,
So I'm releasing basically three three series of work, three series,
three bodies of work inside of one album.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Oh I thought you was getting Michael Jackson all Mada
go on with the nuns.

Speaker 11 (57:23):
Yeah, so you'll see them grade out as they're there.
But it's all one album, all called we Need to
Talk and right now you're getting the love portion. So
we're starting there. I'm telling a story. So what's really
really neat the way I decided to do this drama.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
After drama redemption? So you feel like there's unfinished business
and music for you.

you know, how you want to reintroduce yourself to this,
to this new generation. Thank you.

Speaker 20 (57:53):
It feels like it feels like you're getting through all
of the things that you probably had to take. Might
I had to take a step away to better understand
what was happening, to better articulate how you felt in it.

Speaker 6 (58:01):
Yes, feels like that.

Speaker 23 (58:02):
Yeah, you're really wise. Oh girl, thank you, you're really

to think that deeply. So I appreciate when I get
to so and thank y'all because it's the same here.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Thank you for joining us, thank you for coming, because
I know that that had to be difficult the first time,

Speaker 20 (58:35):
Yes, people don't be more scary though, Yes, because you're.

Speaker 6 (58:48):

Speaker 2 (58:49):
I was like, oh.

Speaker 11 (58:55):
No, we could give him some greadest you have that issue,
got a problem.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
It's the Breakfast Club Morning Morning.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
You can check out that full interview on our YouTube
Breakfast Club AM YouTube page.

Speaker 8 (59:15):
Now let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Speaker 14 (59:17):
Lauren becoming a straight fast man.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
She gets the somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 6 (59:24):
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything,
and she'd.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
Be having the latest on you.

Speaker 7 (59:29):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything. So it's the latest
on the Breakfast Club to me.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
All right, y'all.

Speaker 20 (59:40):
So there is some more with Tony Buzzby in jay Z.
So remember jay Z sued Tony Buzzbying his firm for
defamation after the lawsuit was dropped with the woman who
they claimed who claimed that jay Z and Diddy raped her,
But she was thirteen years old back in two thousand exactly,
and it was all it was. The case was dismissed.
It cannot be brought up again. Now when it dropped,

(01:00:01):
who were like, well, who behind the scenes went down
for Buzzby to completely back off. Now Buzzby is coming
out and basically saying that he wants jay Z's defamation
lawsuit dismissed. So what do you What Buzzby is claiming
is that him and jay Z's legal team struck a
deal behind the scenes and that jay Z didn't hold
up his part. But jay Z's attorney Spiro is saying

(01:00:23):
that that is completely be us.

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
That did not happen. So Buzzby is claiming that jay
Z used his.

Speaker 20 (01:00:28):
Fame to bully this uh you know, this woman into
dropping the case and that that there was I guess
like emails exchanged between Buzzby's attorney for the firm and
for himself and between jay Z's attorney, and in those
emails they had agreed to certain things. One of the
things that they had agreed to was that some of
the sanctions or the penalties or consequences that jay Z's

(01:00:50):
team was asking for Busby's team to have to like, uh,
you know, endure because of certain things that they found
were wrong, certain ways that he filed things, and you know,
just things like that for them for them to back
up off of that. And he's saying that because they
didn't honor parts of this because remember that the audio
clip that we had heard where the woman was on
audio saying jay Z had nothing to do with this.

(01:01:11):
They're saying that when jay Z's team continued to further
investigate Buzzby and his firm and send investigators to do
things like that audio, it violated disagreement. So now he's saying,
you know what, this whole case should be dismissed because
we only dropped our case in the beginning because of disagreement.

Speaker 6 (01:01:26):
Now Spiro.

Speaker 20 (01:01:28):
Spiro, who is jay Z Spirou, who is jay Z's attorney,
says that that is completely bus He says that it's
a total lie. What actually happened was Buzzby brought false claims,
lost badly and was forced to dismiss quickly.

Speaker 6 (01:01:44):
End of story.

Speaker 20 (01:01:45):
Now, Spiro did acknowledge in court documents that he filed
that attorney Buzby's attorney did reach out to him about
dismissing the case with jay and wanted to us strike
a deal. But Spiro says that he made it clear
that jay Z would never settle the lawsuit or pay
any money to resolve it, given the fact that the
accusations were completely false. Sparrow also does acknowledge that they

(01:02:07):
requested for him to why didn't I think this my stuff?
Like that, that they requested for him to stop investigating,
uh this woman doing things like you know, sending investigators
and just looking into more details.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Trying to save his reputation.

Speaker 20 (01:02:20):
Yeah, yep, yeah, I mean he's been trying to save
his reputation on this from the beginning.

Speaker 6 (01:02:25):
Remember sitting back.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
And between this and all of this, the civil suits
he had to drop for Diddy. Yes, it's like your
your reputation and shambles. Yeah, you like an ambulance chasing lawyer.

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
To me, Spirou is saying, who is jay Z's attorney.

Speaker 20 (01:02:39):
He's saying the fact that they thought that we said
that we were going to back off investigating this when
this was false and claim this against our client was
completely false. That never happened, but there was Again the
case was dismissed without I'm sorry, with prejudice, meaning it
cannot be brought up again. But right now in court,
that's the back and forth. Buzsbies like yo, I feel
like this should be tossed out, was taken all away?

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
Yeah, I love this because hopefully there' stop attorney from
doing this because you never know who's gonna fight, and
Jay got the money to fight, and Jay got the
money to protect his reputation.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
I'm glad to see this day. They should investigate Buzzbe more.
How many cases is buzzy be taken like this, these
ambulance you know, chasing cases and ruin somebody's whole life
and reputation, reputation.

Speaker 20 (01:03:18):
That's right, and I mean it's weird they're still not
backing down, like he's still claiming in this she was
standing on her claims and she was willing to go forward,
but she was bullied. I think they're trying to not
think I know that that audio we heard. They're trying
to explain what we heard on that audio. Basically, since
she was bullied in this ans certain thing. So we'll
be following this because the judges was to make a
decision on what's going to happen. I believe the judge
was asking to hear the audio again before they made

(01:03:40):
a decision.

Speaker 6 (01:03:41):
Like the full audio, how she was asked.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
The questions boo, we don't believe you. You need more people, Okay, move.

Speaker 8 (01:03:48):
On, all right, Well that was the latest with Lauren Charlamage,
who even at Donka two man for.

Rodgers who needs to come to the front of the congregation.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
We would like to have a word with all of him. Okay,

Charlomagne donkey to day.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
When you work at our heeart, you got to have
multiple job.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Okay, all right, Donkey today for Wednesday, April ninth, goes
to a three hundred and fifty pounds teacher named Jason Rogers.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
Now, I am not here to fat shame anyone this morn.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
I wouldn't even be bringing this man's weight into this
donkey if it was impertinent to the story.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
In fact, and an effort not to fat shame Jason Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
I will say nice things like I believe Jason Rodgers
has a six pack.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
It's just hidden underneath a protective layer of fat.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Okay, the same women, the same way women have like
protective handstyles like corn rolls.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
And wigs, right, jests and twist.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
Sometimes people get fat on purpose to protect the incredible
physique they have underneath all that. Okay, fat people can
unlock that hidden character in that video game anytime they
want to. Okay, I am not here to fat shame
anyone this morning. Fat people are in shape. Round Round
is a shape anyway. Jason Rodgers was charged with malicious
punishment of a child after he allegedly stepped on three students'

(01:05:48):
backs during a lockdown drill.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Let's go to KBTXCBS three for the report.

Speaker 26 (01:05:52):
Police An Underwood, Minnesota teacher is facing chargers after deputies
were called to an area hospital for a report of
an assault. Jason Rodgers discharged with one count of malicious
punishment of a child and his on administrative leaf from
the school district. Deputies were called to Lake Region Hospital
for a reported assault at Underwood School. A sixth grader

(01:06:13):
says that he was laying on his stomach during a
lockdown drill when Rogers stepped on his back with both feet.
Hold records indicate that Rogers weighs more than three hundred
and fifty pounds, and Rogers admitted to stepping on three
students who weren't cooperating during the drill. He has scheduled
to be in courts on April eighth.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
What I feel like I tell y'all this once a week,
but please don't become a teacher if you truly don't
care about kids.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Jason, you know you three hundred and fifty pounds. What
the hell you doing stepping on those kids for you
told police that you were frustrated they weren't taking the
lockdown drill seriously.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Well, it was other ways to show him why they
should take this seriously. What if those kids were frustrated
you weren't taking your health seriously. What if they told
you that you should be teaching history because just like history,
you are heavy and full of life. Not to mention
during a lockdown drill, they didn't need you to lock
the door because your big ass was already blocking the entrance. Okay,
don't even need a damn barricade. All we need you

(01:07:09):
to do is stand.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
In front of the door and create a human wall
with built in snack storage. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
I am not fat shaming, by the way, I'm just
making observations, all right. Jason stepped on these students because
he was frustrated with them. Well, what if they bought
a scale for you to step on every day because
they frustrated with your big bodied self. Not to mention,
a lot of the kids were complaining that mister Rodgers
assigned homework like he ordered fast food in bulk and
with no shame. Mister Rogers, Fat mister Rogers, Fat mister

(01:07:39):
Rogers is crazy. Okay, fat mister Rogers sat down to
tie his shoes and it was considered a two part episode. Okay,
fat mister Rodgers trolley didn't go to the land and
make believe and went to the land of all you
can eat. There is not a cardigan in America that
could fit fat mister Rogers. Okay, fat mister Rodgers wouldn't
wear a cardigan. He would wear a weighted blanket with
button with buttons. Okay, fat mister Rogers. Cardigans weren't hand knit,

(01:08:01):
they were engineered by SpaceX and they had the ability
to whipstand body heat and snack crumbs. But I am
not fat shaming. I am just making observations about a situation.
See what's sad is kids trust in adults. Okay, you
are a teacher. These kids' parents dropped them off every
day to be in your care. So when I hear
one of the children say, I did not know why

(01:08:22):
mister Rogers did this, because mister Rodgers didn't say anything
about it, didn't even try to correct them.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
He's just sitting there.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
All fat and frustrated, okay, portly and perturbed, dumpy and disturbed.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Didn't even tell the kids what the issue was.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
And then if the kid described it, just stepped on
him like he was a stepping stool. I bet money
Jason Rodgers thinks more of the stepping stool than he
does those kids, because I don't think Jason Rodgers would
risk putting that three hundred and fifty pounds aweight on
a stepping stool. Okay, he's three hundred and fifty pounds.
This man is terrified of the word steps. Ask his

(01:08:56):
fitbit all right. When the class heard the child yell out,
they thought that mister Rogers had broke the child's back.

Speaker 8 (01:09:03):
Man, it's not funny, man, this is what the report says.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
It's Jesus. Won't you be my neighbor, my ass especially
not on a plane. This is sad. I can't trust
you to properly teach.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
My kids, Jason Rodgers, lunchtime can't be you and the
student's most favorite time of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Pop tarch pop quizzes. What do you enjoy more? Mister Rogers, listen.
The moral of the story is a quote from John C. Maxwell.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Students don't care how much you know until they know
how much you care. I repeat, students don't care how
much you know until they know how much you care.
When students feel cared for, they are more likely to
be engaged in the learning process and motivated to succeed.
It's that simple. And one thing's for sure. Two things

(01:09:49):
for certain. I know Jason wasn't no gym teacher. Please
give Jason Rodgers the sweet signs of the Hamiltons.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Oh no, you are the.

Speaker 15 (01:10:00):
Of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Of the day. He How old are these kids? I
think it's just sixth grade? Sixth grade? Yeah, so that's
the whole classroom.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
Really, if you think about it, at least take at
least let me see, I would say at least five
kids to be three.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Fifty in sixth grade. Kids be one hundred pounds this grade,
maybe right, maybe in the eighty ninety, close to one hundred.
So what should be like twelve thirteen years.

Speaker 15 (01:10:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
He might be a math teacher. How strong of those additions?
Back to uphold that three? They weren't the mand they said.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
The kid yelled out in pain and traumatized the whole class.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
The class thought the kid's back was broke. Are you
talking about?

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
I couldn't hold a three hundred and fifty pounds person
stepping on my back. Could you imagine Mac, one of
our producers, staying on your back?

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
You do realize that's the whole he today was about.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
I'm just saying, but that's literally what I think my
back would really do. Bro the fact that he shouldn't
have been through. You shouldn't be standing on no kids back.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
I was walking in.

Speaker 8 (01:11:09):
I got a little nervous, all right. Well, thank you
for that donkey today.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Sir, And just thank you for holding the camera you know,
I like it, just just trying out of the jobs
just in case around here.

Speaker 9 (01:11:19):
Just.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
All right, when we come back, Larry Morrow will be
joining us. He's the owner of Morrow Hospitality Group. He
owns several restaurants in Louisiana New Orleans area, a bunch
of clubs, hiding Seak Treehouse, Morrow State one of the
greatest entrepreneurs in the country, Mango, and we're gonna talk
to him next.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
It's the Breakfast Clugal Morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody's DJ
en Vy Jess. Larry is Charlamagne the God.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
in the building. Friends to the room, Larry Morral.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
Welcome back, sir, you, thank you, thank thanks for me.

Speaker 7 (01:12:03):
How you doing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
I'm doing well, man.

Speaker 8 (01:12:04):
How's everything with you?

Speaker 7 (01:12:05):
Everything's good man, Just just working, just working now.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
Larry a good brother man.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
When I landed in New Orleans and literally everybody in
their mama was like, you got to go to one
of larry spots. You gotta go, you gotta go one
of Larry's box. And guess what, Larry opening up another spot.

Speaker 21 (01:12:21):
Spicy Mangay Mango yep, a New Orleans Caribbean fusion. So
tell us about it and be something so spicy Mango.
It's a new spot I'm opening up right there, and
it's called Frenchman Street. So Frenchman is like Bourbon but
more local live music versus strip clubs and bars like
live music restaurants. And we will open them right at
the forefront of it so a new concept. I'm opening

(01:12:42):
up New Orleans Cribban fusion given like different vibes. You know,
it'd be like one of one of New Orleans. You
know we have Caribbean spots, but but we don't have
that fusion to where you can get like that Ta
Loon vibe.

Speaker 7 (01:12:51):
You know, we're upbeat, good food, you know, good vibes.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
You know this is a stupid question because you know
there's twenty thirty restaurants that exist in a city at
one time.

Speaker 21 (01:13:00):
Do you ever feel like you're competing against yourself now?
I think could all different concepts and different vibes. Like,
if you want like more of a New Orleans sun cuisine,
you go Tomorrows. If you want Asian fusion, you go
to Sunschun. You want a steakhouse vibe, different ambiance, steakhouse
is amazing, Yeah, totally different vibe, you go Tomorrow steak
But if you want like more brunch outdoor type of vibe,

(01:13:20):
you go to Monday. And Monday's are totally different, you know,
spot than all of them. So when people ask me
which one I like the best, Uh, it's kind of
hard to say because they're all different. So they all
offer different vibes, so if they're more similar, maybe I
can say which one I like the best, but you know, depends.

Speaker 7 (01:13:38):
On what I want.

Speaker 6 (01:13:38):
Which one are you at the most?

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
At one point I was.

Speaker 21 (01:13:41):
At Monday the most because that's what the office, you know, is.
But right now I'm at Spicy Mango. I'm at Morrows
cause we just you know, last year we bought the
building and we're renovating, so we upstairs had Airbnb's gutted.
It made it a kitchen, bar dining, private dining. So
the expansion went from holding eighty five people to hold
and maybe you know, close to two.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Hundred where you have a real Jamaicans in there sucking
their teeth at you when people come in.

Speaker 7 (01:14:04):
Right, we got a lot of people.

Speaker 21 (01:14:06):
So it's actually our one our head chefs, you know,
she's Jamaican. So yeah, we're definitely gonna have the real,
authentic Caribbean vibes and fusion.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
Now, also, you know you do this with your mom
and your grandmother. Yes, so break that down.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
I was working with your mom and your grandma because
sometimes family business is not the best thing in the world.

Speaker 25 (01:14:26):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Working with your mother and I love your mom and Grandma.
I love them to death.

Speaker 8 (01:14:30):
They always come out the kitchen to show love and say,
you know, hello, So I love them.

Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
Man.

Speaker 21 (01:14:34):
It's crazy because work with my mom is definitely early on,
Like We'll meet up at work and she still think
I'm a son, but momy business partner. So it was
a total different experience because we had to learn to
work with each other. You know, we never work with
each other in that capacity, so it was challenging.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:14:51):
It was times where we were just you know, it
was tough for us to get along just because with
mom and son and you know, partners and stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:14:58):
So it was tough.

Speaker 21 (01:14:58):
And me and my grandma, uh, you know, I opened
up the spout that and I named it after her.
It was like my me, you know, paying homage to
just her journey, just everything she's done, you know, coming
from a career to America and building that, you know,
that that foundation for us to build on. It was
kind of me giving her flowers while she can still
smell them. So that's where sun chunk comes from. And
you know, I open that up and you know, it's

(01:15:20):
been cool. Of course, she wants things to be the
way that she envisioned. And sometimes you know, it's not
really the way that you can operate a business that
does as much value as we do.

Speaker 7 (01:15:31):
More like a mom and pop.

Speaker 21 (01:15:32):
Yeah you can, but you know we're more of like
high functioning. Yeah, you know, more of like a corporate setup.
Now have hr have you know, marketing directors, just the
whole team, you know, close to five hundred employees.

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
You got some nice studs working in Mondays too. I
wanted to say, see some good studs. They some nice,
handsome and pretty still, you know, because that's why.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
You like doing Monday's a time.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
Yeah, I haven't been yet, like like you food. I
was like, yeah, no, I they don't have like studn muffins.
That'd be dope.

Speaker 7 (01:16:05):
You know, listen when they hear this, they're gonna be yes.

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Students already loved.

Speaker 6 (01:16:11):
Yes, I'm magnet.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
When you and your mom bump heads, like, how do
you shift it from business to personal? You know, you
bump heads and then you still got to go back
to being.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
Your mom's son.

Speaker 21 (01:16:24):
Well, so of course it would affect personal, but it
was more so when we first started to partner up,
because we had to figure out how to operate with
each other.

Speaker 7 (01:16:32):
She wanted her way.

Speaker 21 (01:16:33):
I wanted it in my way, and unfortunately, you can't
have it both ways sometimes, you know, sometimes we gotta
really decide on which way we're going.

Speaker 7 (01:16:39):
So it's just us just just learning. And but it
did affect personal at times.

Speaker 21 (01:16:44):
Because if we're not talking at work, we're not talking
you know, at home, or they'll affect our personal and
it's a challenge. But you know, you got to be
patient and you got to just really learn how to
operate with you know, with family. You know, in amongst
of just operating the business.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
Was the super Bowl weekend everything you thought it was
gonna be. Yeah, man, super Bowl was.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:17:03):
My whole thing was too. Just when I do put them,
when I produce events, it's not just about making money,
it's about showing up, showing up for the New Orleans
as a whole. And you know, just when people come
in New Orleans, like as y'all know, I like to
show that Southern hospitality.

Speaker 7 (01:17:15):
So I wanted to roll it out and you know,
get it popping. So that's what I did.

Speaker 21 (01:17:19):
You know, we had Travis Scott, Cardi, b Meek, Gilly Wilow,
Glowrilla Glotto, fifty fifty end of not showing up because
he has some something happy in coming down sexy, red
highs and not and everybody was it was crazy all.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
That different spots. Oh, I saw the party. Yeah, so
I had three different venues.

Speaker 21 (01:17:38):
I own a spot called Hide and Seek which is
a club, a spot called Trios which is the club,
and not running out, this venue called Empire, and some
good friends of my own Onlonzo and Joey. So I
did that, and you know, the whole goal was to
just really you know, last time we had an opportunity
like this was All Star in twenty seventeen. So when
when something like this happens, I feel like it's a
time to not just make money, but to really just

(01:18:02):
have a great time. And uh, sure, everybody, how we
do it in New Orleans or.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
I was gonna ask.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
You know, during COVID, a lot of restaurants that first
did bad and then they picked back up. But then
when the world opened back up, a lot of restaurants closed.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
We see it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
PF Chains they had problems and Applebee's, TGF Fridays, Red Lobster.
Even so, how is is the restaurant business as far
as you and how are you you sustaining?

Speaker 21 (01:18:24):
Well, it was one of those things where, uh, you know,
COVID kind of slowed everybody down, and me coming out
of COVID, uh, I was so motivated to do something,
figure it out because I felt like it slowed everything
down that I was doing. So opened up Treehouse and
touring twenty one Memorial weekend, and you know, everybody wanted
to be outside. So I'm making you know, the most

(01:18:45):
one they ever made. And so I got a taste
for like I had Marrows open, I opened up Treehouse,
and I got a taste for them. Like I'm making
this fast money, I wanted to reinvest it. So a
lot of spots that were calling about to rent, they
you know, they weren't available. But at one point, you know,
everybody started calling me. And during COVID Man, I committed
to like four locations, five locations because I opened up

(01:19:06):
after treehots opened up five more locations, and you know,
it kind of really just made me level up. You know,
COVID made everybody fe like they had to do something
to do more, and so you know, now, Spicy Mango,
I'm finally getting to a point where we're about to
open up due to just me not really understanding the
industry and how much time and money it takes. But
it was a grind and I'm glad I did it.

(01:19:26):
It taught me a lot, but to commit to so
much and not really have a full understanding of what's
all required, you know, it's like.

Speaker 7 (01:19:34):
You really rolling the dice.

Speaker 21 (01:19:36):
So I'm blessed to just be at this point now
where we're about to open up and you know, this
is seven location, and we've been blessed to see a
lot of success in the industry.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
We got more with Larry Morrow. When we come back,
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning Morning. Everybody
is the j n V. Just Hilarry and Charlamagne the guy.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
We are the Breakfast Club. It's still kicking with Larry Morrow.
Morrow is the owner of Morow Hospitality. If you're ever
in Louisiana, I'm sure you stop at one of his
Spotsmuro Steak, Sun Chong, Had and Seek Treehouse, and he
has a new restaurant, Spicy Mango.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
Charlamagne, what's the ultimate goal for you?

Speaker 21 (01:20:08):
Ultimate goal is, of course, it's to inspire the next
generation of black you know, restaurant tours black hospitality because
in this industry, it's not many people that look like
us that I can go to and get advice from.
I have a lot of friends who I talk to
have great successful businesses and that's been great mentors to me,
but it's not many people that I can talk to.

(01:20:31):
So I think definitely inspiring the next generation of black
culinary black hospitality, but also you know, growing something that
like folks, just something for my family. You know, it's
bigger than just the money. It's the legacy. It's about
building something that can take care of me and my family.
You know, not just this generation, but the next one.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
You know, because somebody said to me, somebody I don't
forgot who I talk to, this is like, yeah, we
might connect with Moros the franchise And I'm like, franchise, Yeah,
like why.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Would you leave Nong No?

Speaker 7 (01:20:58):
Well well no, so on franchising.

Speaker 21 (01:21:00):
Right I got a lot of people who call about
franchising or just even companies that want to invest into
what we're doing the Hospitality Group.

Speaker 7 (01:21:07):
But right now it's like, you know, we're doubling down.

Speaker 21 (01:21:11):
I actually had a conversation yesterday with a good friend
who invested into a lot of different ventures and extremely successful,
and he was just like, man, it's time to start
taking you know, it's time to start raising money. Right
you're doing extremely well, but imagine how big you can
get if you do so. I'm conflicting on what we're
what we're going to do, but the goal is to
you know, become you know, one of the largest black

(01:21:32):
hospitality groups in the country and not limited to you know,
we just want to be able to inspire people through
what we're doing.

Speaker 7 (01:21:38):
I never knew I was gonna be in this industry,
but to be in.

Speaker 21 (01:21:40):
It and to do something with my moms, to have
my family involved, it's a feeling less indescribable.

Speaker 8 (01:21:47):
You know, is Atlanta in Houston next Houston? Most time
spends time.

Speaker 7 (01:21:52):
I've been living in Houston for like three and a
half years.

Speaker 21 (01:21:54):
You know, I got some homies out there who've kind
of been a tremendous help, like a life. Those some
guys in the industry, you know, hospitality industry that I
really am. I in respect what they do, you know,
because they've they've done it even prior to me getting
into it. You know, I will see what they're doing.
And that's one of the people that I can say
that Junior Martin, Big Jay that I always really inspired.

Speaker 7 (01:22:13):
By somebody who look like me.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
You know, is the food gonna taste the same though
it is?

Speaker 7 (01:22:17):
You know, I'm like, I'll be there, my mam wad
be there, and it's a forty five minute flight, right.
You know, we're real. You know, it's all about just
the structure that you have, like the chefs and just
the systems that you have.

Speaker 21 (01:22:27):
So you know, I ain't no about everything, man, so
I may ensure that you know, we're on point with that.

Speaker 6 (01:22:32):
When is Spicy Mango open?

Speaker 21 (01:22:35):
So Spicy Mango is about about thirty or forty five
days out, so sometime next morning May we'll be opening.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
Soft.

Speaker 21 (01:22:42):
Won't really do a grand opening, probably into June, closer
to essence, so you know we're gonna take all time, yeah,
just to kind of ease into it, not really like
you know, broadcasting that we're open, but just open soft
and get the kinks out just so that when we
do fully open, you.

Speaker 7 (01:22:57):
Know, we're prepare.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
You always are very you know, you're you're the consummate businessman,
always so professional.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
What happened with you and the food reviewer?

Speaker 7 (01:23:08):
Man? I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
Uh what happened, but it was a video of Larry
interacting with a few reviewer and the food reviewer tried
to well, he tried to take his phone.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
You know, you try to take your phone.

Speaker 7 (01:23:20):
Man, I don't remember what happened. I don't know what happened.
Just throwing hand, no damn.

Speaker 21 (01:23:28):
But now, honestly, uh man, just being a black man
and successful young in a city where like New Orleans,
I think in any city, Uh, you just running the
issues at times, you know, like I'm outside majority like
more than nine percent of people, and when you are,
you know, things happen.

Speaker 7 (01:23:47):
I mean, but you need.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
Security though.

Speaker 7 (01:23:52):
You know, I know I have security, but you know,
it's like I like to be alone a lot of times.
That's the issue. I like to be alone a lot
of times.

Speaker 21 (01:23:58):
So he don't know, I'm like this introvert extrovert to
where I've been around so many people for so long
that I enjoy being alone. So it's kind of like
what I've morphed into over the years. It's because of
it's so much in this industry. But now I just learned,
like you know, just just sometimes things happen and there's
never no hard feelings, but you know, at the end

(01:24:19):
of the day, you know, when it comes to anything
that is mine, I'm definitely protected, you know, by any means,
so that sometimes unfortunate situations happen and ain't never intentional,
but you know, it just happened.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
And it's interesting that you say that you've been living
in Houston the last few years, because I thought you
were still living now.

Speaker 7 (01:24:34):
But I'm never really there.

Speaker 21 (01:24:36):
I'm never really there just because once I committed, I
moved out there during IDA and that's when a storm
hit New ors in twenty twenty one, the first year
of everything really opened up, and I thought I was
gonna be able to be out there more. But when
I committed to all these restaurants, like, I couldn't go
to Houston and spend all the time I wanted out
there because I didn't know that it was going to
require all this time and energy, and so you know,

(01:24:58):
I ended up just keeping it just so I won't
get so comfortable in New Orleans and decide not to
take that next step, you know, so because I'm really
looking forward to that next step in that next chapter,
to where we expand, and I think, you know, I've
done a great job of just doing what we're doing
in New Orleans.

Speaker 7 (01:25:12):
But now it's time it just really spread those wings.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
All right, Well, we appreciate you for joining us if
you're with because people in the comments were saying that
that you needed to get out of New Orleans because
they hate is so real for successful people.

Speaker 21 (01:25:24):
You feel that way, man, Yeah, And my ogs told
me you had a conversation yesterday, right, Canaan, Right, and
he was just saying that like being a black man
ain't easy, man, just no matter where you are, just
being successful in black wherever you are, it's different. Because
like I had a conversation with a front of mine
as well. He looked different than me, successful, extremely wealthy,
and I explained to him to say, you won't you know,

(01:25:44):
you don't have the same problems that I have.

Speaker 7 (01:25:46):
And I mean I have the same problems we have.

Speaker 21 (01:25:47):
But you know, being black and successful in any city,
especially a smaller city where it's not as big as
in New York, right, I mean you can sometimes be
a target, are just standing out, so you know, it's
it's tough, but you know that's just wild.

Speaker 7 (01:26:02):
Come with it.

Speaker 21 (01:26:02):
You know, it's not something It made me realize that
years and years ago I used to you know, I
become more protective about what's mine and not so open
about everything, you know. So because you start to just
realize that, man, it just ain't the best just for
everybody to know everything about what you got going on,
what's happening. I'm already outside a lot, you know, I mean,
just because I'm got my businesses and stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:26:22):
So it's tough, but you know, it is what it is.
It come with it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Somebody gotta do it, somebody gotta do it.

Speaker 7 (01:26:27):
Right, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
Well, if you're in New Orleans, definitely check out tell
them the lineup of all the restaurants.

Speaker 7 (01:26:31):
So come to New Orleans.

Speaker 21 (01:26:33):
Check out Morrow's Monday Sun Chung, Morrow's Steak, Spicy Mango
is opening up in about thirty or forty five days,
and New Orleans Crib Infusion. You got to come to
the Treehouse House. To come to the Treehouse, you gotta
come to hide and seek, you know. So so far
as seven locations will maybe open up more soon, just
really depend on just really depend on a few different things.

Speaker 7 (01:26:52):
But yeah, definitely plan on, you know, moving to Houston.

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
I love, man, what just said is true because it
got it got the ambiyonce, but then it got just
the dope ass submern food like and then Larry set
me and my wife up because it was our anniversary
that weekend.

Speaker 24 (01:28:49):
I tried to shoot to go see the cools and
didn't want to miss the experience rugging my spot. Petty
things hit a good leg man. They got me from
my cherry over slipper working on it. I was trying
to do a little quick turn around, go to the
road the game and come back, and I got.

Speaker 7 (01:29:06):
Kind of traffic trying to get back. I'm in the penthouse.

Speaker 24 (01:29:10):
How did they get in the penthouses?

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
What I want to know?

Speaker 24 (01:29:14):
The penthouse, you only can have a fall from my floor.
I'm gonna get this assurance money. I don't buy me
a car. I ain't buying no jerif you and I
can't see how they didn't stand out in the crowd
when you look at things while hens, I can't see
how the build and missed.

Speaker 7 (01:29:30):
This all mickey mind.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
It's some inside, right, definitely some inside.

Speaker 6 (01:29:38):
I like that because how you get past security up
all the floors.

Speaker 20 (01:29:41):
And he said in the video that they have or
the images that they had, you could he said, they
wouldn't blended with the crowd that live in the building
where he lives.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
I know exactly what he's talking about. As soon as
he said that, I knew exactly what he was talking about.
But they said they got him good. They said he
got the good stuff too. He was chuck one those
last that you pissed off, like they got me.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
Yeah, they all going to jail, by.

Speaker 6 (01:30:05):
The way, he said, they are.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
Yeah, Penhouse, you're on video going to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
I'm sure he was ski masked up. You know when
he was in the ski mask, you definitely looked like
you were standing out.

Speaker 7 (01:30:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:30:15):
Yeah, yeah, now that you say that, yeah, I doubt
he had a ski mask on though.

Speaker 15 (01:30:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:30:20):
He said that they had footage, so it's video they were.
He said they didn't know that they were black dudes.

Speaker 20 (01:30:24):
He said that he actually was at the game in
saying antto on Monday night and he was like, it's
just crazy how you can't be out nowhere because then
people see you out and then the you know what
I mean, they know to go on your spot.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
So somebody knew he wasn't gonna be there.

Speaker 9 (01:30:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:30:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:30:36):
It was a three hour drive and he talked about
getting caught in the traffic on his way back home,
so they gave one more time. So yes, that story
is developed developing. No arrest have been made as of now,
but police do say that they are investigating.

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
So yeah, Lock them up, go get their ass throwing
money to jail that do stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:55):
To the Pointere said he didn't have assurance because he
said the amount of the value of all the stuff
that he had on the jury, he said because him
like ten thousand a month, So he just didn't get it.
He didn't have insurance on all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
So it's just so wack.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
You break into somebody house people don't work hard for
they you know, the items that they have, and that's
what you go do.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
VI a petty thief lock they ass up. I'm with
you'll well.

Speaker 20 (01:31:14):
In other news, Jonathan Majors he was on the Generation
Iron podcast.

Speaker 6 (01:31:18):
He was talking about the new movie that he has,
Magazine Dreams.

Speaker 7 (01:31:21):
Now.

Speaker 20 (01:31:22):
This interview for context is from April second, but I
thought that the conversation was good and I wanted to
bring it in this room because we had actually kind
of talked to him about this a bit, but it
wasn't direct. For the first time that I've heard, he
is acknowledging the fact that he knows that even though
this performance was good, ain't no way he's winning an Oscar.

Speaker 6 (01:31:38):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
As an actor, do you think about you know, well,
what else can I get with this movie?

Speaker 15 (01:31:44):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Meaning that like awards and things like this? Is that
in your head or do you kind of like not
even thinking about that? Think about it?

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
Why?

Speaker 25 (01:31:52):
Things to think about? And I've got people on my
team that can think about those things if they present
themselves through the way that hit the press, the way
I was draged, the things I thinks I've had to
deal with and heal from and and all that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
That's that's completely that's it's a rap, you know.

Speaker 25 (01:32:07):
I mean like like I appreciate the hustle, I appreciate
the love, but I'm a part of the academy and
I can tell you right now it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
I love hearing people talk.

Speaker 25 (01:32:16):
About it like whoa jayoa blah, yeah, because guess what
it's out there now.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
I want to talk too hard about it. But well
I love that for the picture, absolutely, but I don't
need it. It's gonna get me another job some place, yeah,
but maybe not mm.

Speaker 6 (01:32:30):
And you know what you actually did? How was going on? Yeah?
You actually did tell him he would not win?

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:32:39):
What is it emmy for that?

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
I forget what we were? Yeah? You did?

Speaker 6 (01:32:44):
You did tell him. But it was because afterwards I said.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
All's fair. I said everything is fair. It was a
fair world. You went to Oscar and here world fair
exactly Jesus Christ let down with Lauren.

Speaker 20 (01:32:59):
Yeah no, because I was really sitting in here after
our interview with him and was just thinking, like, man,
these things happen, some things, you know, the charges and
all that were different than how they originally came out.

Speaker 6 (01:33:11):
And you know, there's that whole conversation.

Speaker 20 (01:33:12):
But what he did have to stand up and say, hey,
I went and got you know, helpful or I'm taking
accountability before he did. And still nobody's gonna care. Nobody's
gonna care that this is good. Nobody's gonna care about that.
And it's so messed up because if you mess up,
you mess up. They don't care how big or how small,
depending on who you are.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
And unfortunately that's.

Speaker 6 (01:33:26):
A stain that stays on you forever, which is messing
with some people's eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
Yeah, he doesn't have the complexion for the protection because
Roman Polanski won a Oscar and he has been wanted
in the US for statutory rapa with thirteen year old
girls since nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
Oh and he wanted Oscar do you went better.

Speaker 20 (01:33:41):
Russell Brand, who just actually ate probably eight nine days ago,
was being charged, is being charged with rape and sexual assault,
is now going to be speaking at Florida's new college.
He'll talk about cancel culture. So he's going to speak
on censorship and free speech. While being interviewed. I knew
college president Russell Richard kirk Quirkine during the speak engagement

(01:34:05):
schedule for Saturday, April twelfth.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
So you've been charged, but he's still able to speak
at a college. Most colleges would have dead.

Speaker 6 (01:34:12):
Johnathan Majors would have never.

Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
Most colleges would have after being charged like that, most colleges,
most colleges that would have been convicted.

Speaker 20 (01:34:19):
Colleges say, because Johnathan Majors was, the charges came out,
the videos came out, and things begin to drop before
he ever went to court, and we actually knew what.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
But once again, Jonathan don't have the complexion for the
protection that want.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
Even better, Donald Trump is the president. What are we talking?

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
Once again, Jonathan don't have a complexion protection you name it.
But we did. All we did is name white people.

Speaker 6 (01:34:42):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (01:34:43):
Then we got to wrap up, which proves your points.
Charlie right, doesn't have the complexion for the protection.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
I was supposed to get await sometime.

Speaker 5 (01:34:52):
Why complexion is You don't change the complexion. It just
changed your believe, it changes.

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
Your gen all right, well, what's wrong with y'all?

Speaker 20 (01:35:11):
