Speaker 9 (05:17):
Yeah Francis is he got busy so congratulations to him what's.
Speaker 11 (05:20):
Up Mimi Good morning, Envy. Jess Charlemagne, how y'all doing
this morning?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Hey, Mimi. Good morning.
Speaker 12 (05:27):
So we start this morning with newly released 9-11 records
that are raising serious concerns about what New York City
officials knew about.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
The air on the ground at Ground Zero.
Speaker 12 (05:37):
And the city just released thousands of pages of documents
from the days and months after the attack. And some
of those records show officials were already worried about dangerous
chemicals in the air and even the possibility of lawsuits
against over people being exposed. But at the same time, residents,
first responders, and cleanup workers were being told the air
was safe to breathe.
Speaker 11 (05:58):
Now, that's the issue.
Speaker 12 (06:00):
People were going into lower Manhattan, working around the site,
cleaning up debris, breathing in that air without knowing the
full extent of the concerns being discussed inside the government.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
Let's listen to Mayor Mondani.
Speaker 13 (06:13):
As we mark 25 years, it is time for this
painful chapter again.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
To end.
Speaker 13 (06:18):
City Hall has made a more than $ 34 million commitment
to create a new public portal providing information about our
city's response to the horrific attack. This will be a
vast resource with hundreds of thousands of pages of documents
from numerous city agencies, including sought-after records like the Harding memo,
the 68 DEP boxes discovered a few years ago, and
(06:42):
information about Seven World Trade Center. These are documents that
show what the city knew about the toxic air around
Ground Zero, when they knew it, and how they acted
to limit liability. The 170,000 pages posted today are only
the first release. More will be shared over the next
12 months.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (07:03):
So New York City now says that more people have
died from 9-11-related illnesses that died from 9-11 itself. And
nearly 3,000 people died in those attacks. And one more
9-11 note really quickly. New York Mayor Mondani, he was
supposed to attend Friday's Remembrance Ceremony. Well, he will be
(07:27):
there despite a petition signed by more than 100,000 people
asking him to stay away. Now, some 9-11 families, they
are upset because his top lawyer previously represented a convicted
al-Qaeda murderer member. Mondani says he will be there Friday, though,
to honor those victims and the first responders.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Question, why did they release those files now to me?
I mean, they've been covering it up for 25 years.
I'm sure it was financial reasons. I mean, that's what
the document said. They were trying to. you know, keep
themselves from being financially liable. But why, 25 years later,
it just took a mayor to do it? It just
took Mondani to do it?
Speaker 11 (08:03):
Well, that's what he said. He said he thought it
was just time.
Speaker 12 (08:06):
He said the previous administrations, people in his position, they
had all kind of, you know, known about this, but
no one did anything. And he felt that transparency was
very important and he wanted to be that for the people.
Speaker 11 (08:18):
And so he is releasing the documents.
Speaker 12 (08:20):
It's on a portal and people can go and look
for themselves.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
I was going to ask maybe, Can the city be
sued now or is the time too late for it now?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
No.
Speaker 9 (08:31):
If you listen to the news or you watch the news,
they have all these law firms that tell you if
you've been affected by 9-11, you know, breathing or whatever,
or your family, they have a fund where they give
money to people.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I thought maybe the time has expired when you cancel.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
I'm sure the civil suit's about to start flying.
Speaker 14 (08:46):
Yep.
Speaker 11 (08:47):
They are.
Speaker 12 (08:47):
It's in my research, I found that city officials, they
also acknowledge that these records could lead to more lawsuits.
Speaker 11 (08:55):
Like they are acknowledging that.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
So that is very well expected to come.
Speaker 11 (09:00):
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they just settled two already.
Speaker 12 (09:03):
And so they said, you know, here by releasing this information,
we understand that this is going to lead.
Speaker 11 (09:09):
To more lawsuits.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
So.
Speaker 12 (09:10):
And especially if you heard at the end of what
he said, he said, we expect to release more documents.
Speaker 11 (09:15):
So this is not even all of what we're going
to get. All right. Well, that is the first hour.
In the second hour, we are going to.
Speaker 12 (09:24):
You guys remember when you could walk all the way
up to the gate and walk someone to the airport,
dropping them off or.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
A loved one?
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Yeah, me and my wife were just talking about that.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
You used to be able to walk somebody to the gate?
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:34):
Well, I don't remember that. Well, flying back then, you
didn't really fly too often. So when somebody flew, it
was a big thing. So I remember my mom would
fly for business. And my dad, me and my dad
would go to the gate and actually meet her with
balloons and cards because you didn't really fly like that.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
My wife was talking about that because she was flying
when she was like six years old. And that's what
used to happen. Her grandma used to meet her at
the gate.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I did not know that.
Speaker 11 (09:56):
Well, some good news, sort of.
Speaker 12 (09:58):
It's making a comeback with is a catch so we'll
explain that though in the next hour.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Alright everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 it's the.
Speaker 2 (10:07):

Peace, Leonard from Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What's up, brother? Get it off your chest.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Yo, bro. I'm a first-time caller. I'm 55 years old, bro.
I have a two-year-old daughter, and my baby mother just
left both of us.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, it's good to know your penis still works at 55, sir.
At 53, it was still working.
Speaker 6 (10:39):

Speaker 2 (10:48):

you know, are you a.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
He has no choice.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
She left him no meaning. Like, can he run around
and jump or is he running around?
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Nah, I've been in her life since day one, bro. Nice.
Speaker 14 (11:00):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I moved him.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
I moved him to Jersey. Okay. And she left us.
I got a... Yo, bro, I'm back to my pills, man.
I don't know what to do. How old was your
baby mother, brother? That's my fault, bro. My baby mother
was 29 years old, bro.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 16 (11:23):
Yeah, I tried to.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Give her something she wasn't used to. A family, you
know what I'm saying? A stable house.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
So you got her pregnant at 27.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
When did you meet her?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
I met her when she was 27, bro.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh, so it was a one-night stand? Straight up, no condom, nothing.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Nah, it wasn't a one-night stand. We was dealing with
each other for months. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
It is when you was 53?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And what did you learn?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
She was 27.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Yeah, bro, I was 53, bro. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Where did she go?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
She told me she wanted a family. She never had
a family, so I gave it to her. I supported
her in everything she did, and she let us do
it on the internet and left.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Any reason to hit Raw. She said she wanted a family.
And I wanted to give her one.
Speaker 14 (12:10):
I'm 53.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I don't like using condoms in no way.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Right.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
It's too hot to wear condoms in the summertime at
my age.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And she has my age.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Where's she at?
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Yo.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
She's in Manhattan, bro. She live in Manhattan.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Well, I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
My brother.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
She's enjoying her little young ass life.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Yeah, I'm going to tell you that. That's what I agree.
I agree with Jess.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She's enjoying her little young ass life, and that's what
you get for sleeping with that young ass.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I'm going to let her.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
I'm going to let her enjoy her life, bro. You
know what I'm saying? But she don't get to walk
out of me and my daughter's life and keep coming
back and forth. She don't get that, bro.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That's what happens when you're in your 20s, though.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
She'll grow up when she's 30-something. That's what you get.
You knew better than to put your pee-pee in that
little young-ass girl.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I did, bro.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I did.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Now I'm back to my bills. I owe $ 5, 500 in
back rent. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Like.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
I don't know how to raise a little.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Girl, bro.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well, should have thought about that before you hit that
little 27-year-old role.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You ain't a young kid, brother. You a grown-ass man.
You know what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
You know, right.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
You don't know how to raise a little girl.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I can't feel sorry for you. You're 55 years old.
You know what you was doing. If you was 30, 20,
I might feel sorry for you. But you're 55, brother.
You should have known.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
I had no kids. I have no kids, bro. This
is the first one.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, you got one now.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Apparently, you wanted it, too. Don't say that I gave
her what she wanted.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I really did. I really did.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I wanted a family, bro.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
She had you feeling young and frisky.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
And now, look. Go do some Pilates, man.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Make sure. Go do some Pilates.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Put a heating pad on that back and, you know,
get ready to raise that little girl.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, that's right. Learn how to do hair.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
Because she's going to need you.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
You figure it out, brother.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
She's going to need you.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Yeah, I have no choice but to figure this out, man.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Good luck. We're rooting for you, black man. We're rooting
for you and that little girl.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
And you're going to do it. Trust me. It'll come
to you. You're going to be fine.

on me.

Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Got you, got you, got you.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (15:50):
So, I wanted to shout out my nephew because he
graduated from high school and he's starting at SUNY Brockport
and he's majoring in cybersecurity.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (15:59):
And he has his own business. He's an entrepreneur. So,
can I shout out his business?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Of course.
Speaker 14 (16:06):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Of course.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (16:08):
So, the website is Heaven Got Motion. And it's Christian-based
or faith-based clothing. And then his cash app is dollar sign,
J as in joy, A, V as in Victor, A,
N as in Nancy, I, E as in elephant, B
(16:30):
as in boy, H6.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Okay, I got some questions. What is Christ-based clothing, number one,
and does the church get 10%?
Speaker 6 (16:35):
I said faith-based. Same difference?
Speaker 14 (16:41):
So it's just, you know, like, okay. So if you
check his website out, it's just different, like, motivational things, scriptures,
and things like that. So he grew up in a church.
He's been in a church for his whole life. He's
18 now. So this is something that he thought would
be his first venture as an entrepreneur.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
I like it.
Speaker 10 (16:59):
And his clothes are really.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Really nice.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
What's the name of the website again? What's the website again?
Speaker 10 (17:03):
It's called Heaven Got Motion.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Heaven Got Motion. Well, if I see Jesus on this shirt.
Speaker 14 (17:10):
no it's not Jesus it's like you look at it
you can check it out okay.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I'm looking at it right now faith driven streetwear okay
so like little quotes it says but it's trusting when
you but it's trusting when you fear the most okay
yeah alright it says God made instead of self made
alright I'm picking up what you're putting.
Speaker 10 (17:32):
Down It's really, really good.
Speaker 14 (17:35):
And he came up with it. So he did the
website himself. So he maintains that. So it's just he's
a genius.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Very affordable, too.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I like this soccer jersey with 444 on the back.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
444, great angel numbers.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:52):
Do you want him to send you some stuff if you.
Speaker 14 (17:53):
Put me on hold?
Speaker 13 (17:54):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
I'm going to purchase. I'm going to purchase some stuff.
Speaker 14 (17:58):
Yay!
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Yeah, I'm going to purchase one.
Speaker 14 (18:00):
And then I had one more thing for you guys,
because I'm a marketing analyst, and I was thinking that
you guys could do a residency at.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
A college and teach. I think there was another person
who did it. But you guys can all take a
turn and do a residency at different colleges, and it
will be well attended, and it will be fun. And
then I know, Charlamagne, you talk about having.
Speaker 14 (18:21):
A general equivalency diploma, so it would be, like, really
great for you to be.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
Able to Teach at a school.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Oh, that's what's up.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I have my hand raised. I don't have a GED.
I graduated in night school. I have a diploma.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I'm sorry. I don't have a GED.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I never thought he had one of those.
Speaker 14 (18:40):
I apologize.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
I apologize. I know you have an honorary doctorate, right?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, from South Carolina State. I am actually about to
start a residency at a college, but I'll announce that later.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Salute to Monroe College in the Bronx. I was actually
trying to do that.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
I was actually taught a couple of classes, but I
just didn't have... It's hard to really... Because you got
to teach for what? It's 14 or 16 weeks, I
think it is. That's the curriculum. And it was hard
to actually... say that I could be there every week
and they wanted me to say, well, they wanted me
to say, well, why don't you do it on Zoom?
But I feel like you have to be in person.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I want to be there.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I am going to be there when I do it.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Like that's Monday through Friday every day?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No, no, no.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Once a week.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Well, mine was once a week. I don't know what
y'all names, what his thing is, but we were still
trying to get it together. So salute to Monroe College
and everybody over there. We're still trying to make that work.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But thank you for calling, Mama.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Oh, wait.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
I have one more thing.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 14 (19:33):
So when I was in school, they would have people
come for like a week or two weeks and it
would say like, I can't remember whatever professor. So that's
something you could do too.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
That's not the whole, and then.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
You all can do like a chunk. So it's not
for the whole eight or 10 weeks.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Well, you know what I mean?
Speaker 17 (19:50):
So you all take a 10 weeks.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Well, you read not mine. I got, I'm going to
be announcing something soon.
Speaker 14 (19:55):
All right, mama.
Speaker 18 (19:55):
Yay.
Speaker 10 (19:57):
Okay, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
She's so cute.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Get it off your chest.
Speaker 19 (20:01):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 20 (20:05):
We're going to be talking about late night TV again
because there is a huge shakeup that may be going down.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
We're going to discuss what it is.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Ain't no maybe.
Speaker 20 (20:12):
Well, we'll talk about it because there's networks that are
pushing back on some of the news that broke yesterday
about this major shakeup.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
So we'll see what's happening.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
All right, we'll get to that next.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What, what, what, what
you want to know? The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Speaker 17 (20:25):
Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
the black radio.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
That source is trusted. Did you hear that exclusive?
Speaker 20 (20:31):
Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everything.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
She be having the latest on things.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
You ask the questions that need to be answered.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
On The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Little brown girls look at you and go, I want
to be like you. LL Cool Bay, talk to me. So,
good morning, guys.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Peace, LL Cool Bay.
Speaker 20 (20:49):
So there are reports right now that Jimmy Kimmel, this
may be his last season on air after being on
air for 24 years. Now, these reports, page six was
the first to report it, are based off of a
person that they say that they spoke to who says that.
Jimmy Kimmel's contract after May 2027 will not move forward anymore,
will not be renewed. Now, a spokesperson from ABC has
(21:10):
come out to page six to TMZ to a few
people and says that these reports are inaccurate, that any
reporting about the future of the show at this point
are purely speculative and that they have they have no
idea where this stuff is coming from. TMZ's report talks
about them speaking to a person that says that at
this time, Kimmel is actively pitching podcasts and other shows
(21:32):
in other places. And basically set himself up for May
2027 to be the end of us seeing him on air,
how we know him to be on air with the
Jimmy Kimmel show.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He done made so much money. He done made so much.
24 years, he done made so much money. He's got
a huge audience. He can write his own check.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
At this point.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
You know, but I'm curious about if it's true or not,
because I just Googled and I don't know if Google's
right or not. But it said that he averaged 3.1
million total viewers since 2026. And they said that's his
highest monthly average in 23 years.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So I guess they're saying the show is still doing amazing.
They're still getting viewership.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
So I'm just wondering what the cost level, because if
people are watching and if it's the highest in 23 years,
I'm just wondering what would make him take it down
or take it off, I should say.
Speaker 20 (22:14):
I feel like when people saw this yesterday, the first
thing you thought about was all the back and forth
that he's had with the Trump administration. And even yesterday,
he opened up his new season and his monologue was
about like, because he had been on hiatus. His monologue
was about like the crazy summer that Trump, had and
like all the things that the administration did that were
just like outlandish or whatever.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
So I think most people attribute or would think it's that.
Speaker 20 (22:33):
But I know there's been so much conversation about these
talk shows and how they're set.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Up and the money and the landscape changing.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Them shows cost so much to produce.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Now you can just do a talk show for a
quarter of the budget you probably paying for these late
night talk shows.
Speaker 19 (22:49):
Come on.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Cat Williams show on the way.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
On Netflix a lot right at this point.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Y'all gonna be watching that more than y'all ever watched
any of them late night talk shows in years god.
Speaker 20 (22:58):
Damn right I think now just I mean first of
all more than you've watched the way that people watch
late night shows or TV is just different anyway like
even with Kimmel like I watch him via YouTube and
most of the time I just watch the monologues unless
he has a guest I want to see the world
has changed man yeah So we'll see what happens there.
We'll keep you guys updated. Now, shifting gears a bit,
talk about updates. So yesterday, we talked a bit in
(23:21):
our Netflix Overtalk portion of the latest with Lauren LaRosa.
About 50 Cent and Mark Curry. 50 Cent won an
Emmy for the Diddy doc that he did, right?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Snoop Da 5.
Speaker 20 (23:31):
Yeah, a lot of people were like, oh, why did
he do it, whatever, but they won an Emmy for it.
After he won an Emmy, Mark Curry, who, you know,
formerly worked with Diddy, came out and said he was
done wrong when it came to money. Now, there's been
a bit more of a back and forth, but I
want to play the original audio of Mark Curry complaining
about what did not happen for him after being promised
things by 50 Cent so we can get to it.
Let's take a listen to Mark Curry's original complaints.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
When we first did this documentary, I was supposed to
get a production credit.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
And the production credit... You're good, you're good.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Brad, you're fine.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Even if the documentary was sold, I would be grandfathered
into the deal. I saw where Shiki was like, the
proceeds were going to go towards the victims.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I haven't seen that yet.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
You talk about a deal with Puff, this is a
worse deal than... The worst deal, I see them now
getting nominated for an Emmy. So it's like, and then
you're not doing anything to reach back for the ones
who are the actual victims or the one who suffered.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
It's been rough.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
After the documentary, I thought that things, you know, that
was going to be like a change. For an example,
when we spoke about Come With Me, the Godzilla song
on the documentary, they have this thing called- First.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Of all, the comedian Mark Curry, apologies to you because
Netflix put his picture up, okay?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, they put the wrong Mark Curry.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
That is Mark Curry. It's not the Mark Curry we're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, the reason I don't even want to hear this
audio is because if you keep getting got by people,
it's you.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Okay? If you keep signing bad contracts and bad deals,
it's you. You don't get, you know, what you're supposed
to get. You get what you negotiate.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
So maybe you need a better agent or a better
manager or a better lawyer or somebody.
Speaker 20 (25:12):
So you don't want to hear his additional complaints because
now he mad at y'all for saying that to him.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Mark Curry.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yes, I want to hear it. He was fine with that.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I ain't even say nothing, Mark.
Speaker 20 (25:18):
So what we just played was him talking about he
only got $ 69 in old production credit.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
That was originally. And then 50 Cent came out and said,
what's your cash app?
Speaker 20 (25:25):
Is it dollar sign? Did he touch your butt? So
now Mark Curry has responded because he's seeing y'all say
that he's dumb and he's not doing good deals.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I didn't say he was dumb.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
I did not say that.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You might have said it. And a lot of words
you said that.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Maybe I did.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think you did say he was dumb. Let's take
a listen to the show.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
For people who really think that I'm stupid enough to not.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Have a contract or a lawyer look over paperwork, I
put the whole contract.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
It's on my page here. If you don't say something,
you're a sucker.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Being that I'm not a sucker, I'm going to speak
up for mine. I'm going to say what I've got
to say. I don't care who don't like it. I'm
not going to sit here and joke about, did he
touch your butt? Because we do know whose butt Diddy
did touch. We do know a documentary was produced all
behind touching butts. And I'm talking to you about real
serious is business when i first did this it said
that i would have a production credit so when we
(26:17):
all sitting back having the celebration party let's not forget
about the people that really actually put this thing together
with you i ain't gonna say i put it all
together but i put them i did a majority of
it i'm talking about more than 40 of it only
thing i wanted was my production credit You think.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
I'm asking you for something.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
I'm not asking you for something.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I'm just trying to say you owe me a favor.
And the way that you can repay this favor is
by helping me do a documentary. If you don't want
to help me do the documentary, just introduce me to
somebody who could possibly help me do the documentary.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I don't understand nothing he just said. Because if he
has a contract that says he should have got a
production credit, then he should get his production credit. You
wouldn't be on the internet venting if your contract actually
said that.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
You don't have to vent. Yeah, you don't have to
vent online. If you have it on contract, you shouldn't
have to say anything. You would be taking him to court.
You don't have to go online. You don't have to
make threats. You don't have to say you only got $ 69.
You don't have to say anything about Diddy touching anybody's butt.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And saying you got $ 69 from a Diddy doc is
just crazy.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
You can pick another number, Mark.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Oh!
Speaker 6 (27:17):
You could have said $ 70. You know what I'm saying?
I would have rounded that up just because. I would
have thought about the situation.
Speaker 20 (27:21):
But him talking about Diddy Touch Your Butt and then
being like, I'm trying to do serious business. That was crazy, too. Like,
you can't talk about Diddy Touch Your Butt and then
say you're having a serious conversation.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I'm not saying Mark Curry is dumb.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
All I'm simply saying is if you keep getting got
in business, you need to look in the mirror.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Not only that, but if you have the right paperwork,
you shouldn't have to be online. Your lawyer should be
on top of it right now.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Stop saying the same thing I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Y'all always do that. Y'all are definitely a couple. Y'all
do that all the time.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Y'all finish each other's sentences and repeat what each other
just said.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Girl, do you hear them? They didn't even push back
when I was like, definitely a couple. Y'all be doing
all the lovey-dovey.
Speaker 20 (27:57):
It was actually very simple.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I had an attorney look at it as well, too.
I mean, it was. It was in the midst of
the heat. It was too damn simple. See y'all in Vegas.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Congratulations to 56. Honestly, never mind.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
That was the latest for the hour.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Now she's thinking about it. She's like, damn, I actually.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Didn't read that.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
My contract wouldn't even offer the credit.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Now, when we come back, we come back to Front
Page News. And then Sherri Shepherd will be joining us
at the Breakfast Club.

Good.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Good morning.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
So we start this hour. We're going to talk about
the Lindsay Clancy case.
Speaker 11 (29:37):
Have you guys been following this?
Speaker 8 (29:39):
No.
Speaker 19 (29:40):
Closely.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
A little bit.
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Yes, a little bit. Not too much.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
So her trial ended last week in a mistrial after
the jury.
Speaker 11 (29:49):
They deadlocked 11 to 1. There was one holdout.
Speaker 12 (29:51):
But now that case is shining a light on another
case out of Massachusetts involving a black mother whose story
got far less national attention. So two mothers, they admitted
to killing their children. Both said that they had severe
mental illness. They said that was the reason. But their
juries were allowed to hear two very different stories. So
(30:12):
Latarsha Sanders, she was convicted of killing her eight and
five-year-old sons and sentenced to two life sentences without the
possibility of parole. Now, her jury was not allowed to
see thousands of pages of mental health records showing that
she suffered from paranoia and schizophrenia. Now, compare that to
the Lindsay Clancy case, the white mother who admitted to
(30:33):
killing her three young children, ages five, three, and just
eight months old.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
Now, Clancy's jury.
Speaker 12 (30:39):
They heard weeks of testimony about her mental health, her
defense and how she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Now,
these two women, they have the same judge, the same
prosecutor's office. And Clancy's case, as we know, dominated the headlines,
whereas Sanders' case received far less attention. Legal expert Monique Presley,
(31:00):
she says these cases are highlighting a bigger issue. The
mental health of black women is often overlooked, including in
the criminal justice system.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
Let's listen.
Speaker 21 (31:09):
What's supposed to happen is whether it's a white woman
or a black woman, that illness is supposed to be
taken seriously. It's that when it's black women, we are
viewed as supposed to be so strong that we can
endure things like twice the size of a man. And
if it's a white woman, she's a delicate flower. We
(31:31):
both are fragile. We both experienced postpartum depression. We know
the statistics on Black women not being listened to.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, because in the Clancy case, he was about to
be found not guilty by way of insanity.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Insanity.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12 (31:50):
Now, Massachusetts Highest Court now says that Sanders, her mental
health records should have been allowed and two, her convictions
have been thrown out and she will be getting a
new trial.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
So....
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And even in the case of Lindsey Clancy, she didn't
deny the killings, right? They just were saying she's someone
from postpartum psychosis.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Which is crazy, though, because her kids were older, right?
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Clancy's children? No, they were, what, five, three, and eight
months old.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Five?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
You still get postpartum psychosis?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
But the eight-month-old.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Oh, the eight-month-old.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Eight months.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
But she killed all three of them.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Right.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Postpartum.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
Yeah. So we will continue to watch that story.
Speaker 12 (32:30):
And switching gears here, if you've ever walked someone or
wanted to walk someone all the way down to their
gate to say goodbye, you can do that again. But
there is a catch. You have to have TSA precheck.
So TSA, they launched this new program. It's called Gateside Precheck.
It allows pre-check members to go through the airport even
if you are not flying. So that means you can
(32:51):
walk your family down to their flight, meet someone during
a layover, or even go inside the terminal just to
shop or to eat.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
But to do it, you must apply.
Speaker 12 (32:59):
Online a day to three days earlier for your visit
using your TSA number. If you're approved, you will get
a free gateside pass. You still need your ID, of course,
to go through security, but You get to go and
meet your loved one, walk with your loved one, like
back in the olden days. Right now, though, it's only
being tested in 13 airports, including LAX, Las Vegas, Dallas,
(33:22):
Fort Worth, and San Diego. And they hope to expand
into others. But a little nostalgia there.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
But why are they doing it, though?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
So you can walk your parents or walk your kids?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Your kids, probably more kids.
Speaker 8 (33:34):
Why?
Speaker 12 (33:36):
The Trump administration is loosening some of the 9-11 restrictions.
And so that's one of them that they're trying to
slowly pull back on.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Why would you loosen restrictions at a time like this?
You look around the world and you see all the
war going on. You see how radicalized people are. Why
would you loosen restrictions at a time like this?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
I remember my mom flying, and it was a big
thing because we usually didn't fly. So me and my
dad would go to the gate to pick her up.
But with everything going on, like Charlamagne said, in this world,
not only that, the lines at TSA be crazy. So
now what does that do for people not flying? Those
lines are going to be even longer.
Speaker 12 (34:11):
That is a really great point. I did not think
about that, but you're absolutely right. That will increase the
wait times for people who actually have a flight to catch, right?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Right, because they still got to go through TSA. They
still got to, you know. But what will they show
if they don't have a boarding pass? Because you got
to scan through.
Speaker 12 (34:27):
Well, you'll get that pass, that gateway pass, and then
you have to show your ID that, you know, and
you have to apply a day to three days earlier
showing what you.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
Want to do and why you want to go back
through TSA.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
So, yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 12 (34:40):
Well, that is your front page news. Looks like we
are out of time. We'll have to save our last
story for tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Well, thank you, Mimi.
Speaker 11 (34:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (34:48):
Now, when we come back, Sherri Shepherd will be joining us.
Of course, this is the 25th anniversary of 9-11. She
has a new film called Angel in the Rubble, the
Janelle Guzman story.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Guzman story. about a young lady who.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
Was a Port Authority worker, and she was trapped under
the rubble for 27 hours. We'll tell you all about that.
And also, she's going to be the first woman to
play the genie in Aladdin on Broadway.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
So we'll talk to Sherri Shepherd when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (35:13):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 9 (35:14):
It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are
The Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRose is here as well. We
got a special guest in the building.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Yes, indeed. She came in like the Terminator.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Black leather jacket, shades on.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Looking good.
Speaker 14 (35:27):
Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
When you don't have a job, you got to elevate.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
All right.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
That's what I'm talking about. Ladies and gentlemen, Sherri Shepherd.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Hey, boo.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
You've been outside, though.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I've been seeing you everywhere. I've been seeing you with
your son. I've seen you at premieres.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
We've seen you at Essence. You've been outside, though.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
No, no.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Here's the thing. When you get let go from your job.
Speaker 20 (35:45):
You got to be out there in the streets because
you got to show people, I'm here, I look good,
I'm employable.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
But you never stopped hustling.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
You always did stand-up.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I'm always hustling, yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
You're always in a movie or something. Like, what are
you talking about?
Speaker 20 (35:56):
Always had several jobs. But that's why, because I hustle.
I'm always, you know, I never stay in one job
and sit in complacency. I'm always looking at the next thing.
I think that's how we have to do as brown folks.
You always have to look at what's next. You know,
so I'm always on my team. Don't get complacent just
because I'm going on call and going, hey, family, because
that stuff could be pulled out from under you in
(36:17):
a minute. Do you ever get to the point, though, where,
because I feel like when I think like that, it
gives me like an anxiety feeling.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Like, when do you ever just enjoy what you're doing?
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I do.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 20 (36:28):
I'm always present. Like, I love what I do. You know,
you get disappointed. Of course, you know, when they took
the show, I was devastated. And you did call me, Lauren.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I was like, oh!
Speaker 22 (36:38):
I was like, wait a minute, is this on the record?
Speaker 20 (36:49):
And she was like, she said no. And, and, and
you did, and you didn't say anything, but you know, you, you,
you're present.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You have a good time. But when it's over, I
don't sit in it. I go, what is next?
Speaker 20 (37:00):
And probably it's because I'm a mother, too, because I
got to pay for all of this stuff for my child.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
I got to pay child support.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
I got to.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
So it's those kind of things coming in my head.
Speaker 8 (37:09):
I'm just.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
I'm used to working.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
What do you miss the most about it?
Speaker 20 (37:13):
You know, being able to give a platform to people
who would not be able to have a platform. Being
able to have the power to say, you can come
on my show. Even when I got pushback. Jane Kennedy
was trying to write a book and nobody would give
her a book deal. And I said, John Murray said
to me, you should say something. And I was able
to say, y'all know Jane Kennedy. Those who know, know.
(37:33):
She need to write a book. Y'all, somebody give her
a book deal. And she got a book deal. And
she credits me with doing that. So being able to
do that, have Kiki Shepard on the show from Showtime
at the Apollo to give her her flowers. You know,
when I hear something, when a scandal goes on, to
be able to call and say, would you come on?
Speaker 3 (37:50):
And I'm going to do it with love.
Speaker 20 (37:52):
So being able to meet people and, you know, folks
that I think are icons, that's what I miss. When
you came back and did your episode where you, like,
addressed us and let us know, like, how you were feeling,
it was really emotional for you.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
It was.
Speaker 20 (38:05):
You know, I mean, we talked, but people were, like,
really upset for you. Like, they felt like you just
deserve to be able to, like, let us know, like,
your people on your own.
Speaker 12 (38:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (38:15):
I think that, you know, it was one girl at Essence.
She was like, I just want to fight somebody.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I just want to fight.
Speaker 20 (38:19):
Here's the thing with the difference between me and Jimmy Kimmel.
Black folks, they will ride for you. But if you say,
go ahead and strike and don't watch the network, they like,
wait a minute, reasonable doubt.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
It's on this network. You know, wait a minute, beauty
and black. I can't be, you know, they ain't going
to cut off all their stuff.
Speaker 20 (38:40):
But I think that people consider me You know I'm
a celebrity. You know I'm in a certain financial level.
But I think people knew I was real. That I
was sitting there. That I was your sister. I was
your cousin. I was your auntie. They knew they would
get real from me. And I think that that's what
they related to me. And I made a heart connection.
Speaker 9 (38:57):
How difficult was it for, as a mom, because you
have a child, you just said you put him in college.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Don't make me say it.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I've seen y'all on the train with each other.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (39:05):
So how difficult was that, not being there and doing
the show and.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
All of that?
Speaker 20 (39:09):
You have to, this is why it was harder for
Kelly Clarkson, I think. When you have small children and
it's just you doing a talk show, it's very, very difficult.
Jeffrey was, when I got that Sherry show, he was
17 years old.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Going on AT.
Speaker 20 (39:22):
I was able to leave him at home by himself,
you know, because he's on, you know, he had his
unique challenges. So I was able to, I didn't have
to worry about him too much but when you're doing
it all yourself I would get there early in the
morning I would leave I would be the one to
turn off the lights at night time So it's hard
to have two little toddlers and then your ex-husband dies
(39:43):
and then you're doing another show. It was very hard
on Kelly Clarkson, which is one of the reasons why
she ended her show. Her family was more important. As
your kids get older, it's a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
And you do need help.
Speaker 11 (39:52):
I had nanny.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I had nannies helping me with Jeffrey. You just do.
Speaker 20 (39:56):
I couldn't put him in daycare. So it got easier
because he was older. That was the time was right.
Talk about changing up just like your content preferences, because
I remember one time reaching out about a story I
had broken.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
And John was like, you know, we love you. We
support you.
Speaker 20 (40:09):
But we try to keep things a lot more light
and positive, which was so different for that time space.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Yeah, because, you know, Wendy would get into her thing.
Speaker 12 (40:16):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Did you get pushed back from the network for trying
to do that as well?
Speaker 8 (40:18):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Daytime is like.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
Absolutely.
Speaker 20 (40:20):
You know, it's like because they were used to dealing
with with Wendy. So it was a lot of why
don't you do this?
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Because it'll go.
Speaker 20 (40:26):
We need viral moments. But also, I also have to
consider I'm an actress. I still have to work beyond this. Again,
that was where I was like, you know, I would
like this thing to last 9, 10, 15 years. But
in all probability, it probably won't. And I still have
to have a career beyond this. So what it look
like if I'm sitting in a chair and I'm just
(40:48):
use you, Charlamagne, and I'm doing a scoop on you.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
And I'm talking about you.
Speaker 20 (40:52):
And now the show in and you got a big
blockbuster movie that I want to audition for.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Now I don't know why I'm not working. I don't
know why I'm not going in auditions because Hollywood didn't
close up on me. That is what I do. I
am an actress.
Speaker 20 (41:04):
So I always had to consider, you know, what I
was going to say about people, how I could do
it in a light way, how I could do it
funny and with love. Because I don't want to go
somewhere and I'm too, you know, at this age, I
don't want somebody coming up to me going, I don't
like what you said about me because I don't remember
what I said.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
But it's still your opinion.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
But it's still my opinion. But also, let me tell
you something.
Speaker 20 (41:25):
Actors, entertainers, we all have very long memories. Somebody could
have said, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
This, Jess.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Jess knows this.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Jess knows this. I've seen it. It's like I'm sitting
there looking at the person going, Jess don't remember what
she said. We're comics. That's what we do.
Speaker 20 (41:41):
But people have long memories and they will hold that
against you for the next 30 something years.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
And you have moved on with your life.
Speaker 20 (41:49):
I have said things which I thought was in love
because I literally would sit with Norman Baker and Brittany
and the.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Folks who helped me.
Speaker 20 (41:56):
Craft my stuff and I go we gotta be tender
here and I thought I was tender and that's the
problem with doing stand up I come out and say
something and they be like so and so wanna talk
to you and I'm like damn what and literally I
have had phone calls from celebrities going i saw what
you did i who would tell me they love the
show until i said something and they would call me
(42:18):
and go i don't like what you said and then
i'd have to be like explaining you know what i'm
just a comic and and they'd want to even one
celebrity was like call me and if you're gonna talk
about me just let me know i.
Speaker 16 (42:30):
Ain't got that much time right you got five minutes
to craft a story and it's not that big of
a deal to me but but the person was like
you know if you just.
Speaker 20 (42:41):
Talk to me we could do a whole thing about
and i go that ain't funny yeah and trying to
explain myself it was really i was it was happening
and i was just like i can't do this and
one time i remember i called a celebrity because i
was going to talk about her mother So I said,
let me call and let her know. I'm going to
talk about your mama. And she said, okay, what are
you going to say? So I told her the jokes.
(43:01):
And she said, okay, well, I don't think that's true
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
And I go, but I'm a comic. So I'm kind
of embellishing. Now, meanwhile, they're going three minutes, three minutes.
Speaker 20 (43:09):
And she goes, okay, so tell me everything you're going
to say again. And I was like, okay, I don't have...
time to do it and she said well let me
call her and I said okay I just got and
I said it and everything was fine but I said
I can't go through this was she a friend or
something though no it was somebody that I would see
a lot it was somebody that I would see a
lot always so I was just like I'm.
Speaker 9 (43:26):
Gonna talk about you how many times have you had
to apologize to somebody oh my god.
Speaker 20 (43:32):
I never want anybody to feel badly from something that
I say so I would but I would try to
explain and that wears on you it really does which one.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Person you apologized to that y'all made up from there.
Speaker 20 (43:43):
No, I'm not going to tell because then they're going
to be calling me again. So I'm just saying I
did get those phone calls when I would, just in
fun and just in a loving way.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
And let me tell you, everybody who's called me, we've
all made up. We're all good.
Speaker 20 (43:57):
But that's another thing I didn't want to go like
be an essence and run into somebody. And now you
going off on me and I don't know what you're
going off about. Cause I don't care no more.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
So we've everybody, we're all good.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
You said you talked about the near long situation.
Speaker 8 (44:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
We ain't running to each other.
Speaker 5 (44:13):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
We've never, we've never apologized. I didn't say nothing wrong. Oh,
like that happened so long ago. I don't even remember.
Speaker 20 (44:21):
She ain't thinking about me. I'm not thinking about her.
And now again, it becomes viral. This is, you know,
so that's why I say entertainers have very long memories
because people keep, will ask. So no, I haven't, but
she's in LA at some point we will run into
each other.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
And what I'm going to say is we need to talk.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
We're grown.
Speaker 20 (44:41):
Let's just talk. And so that we can both come
in and say, hi, me and Kenya Moore made up.
We were both on watch what happens live. And we
couldn't stand each other. We couldn't stand.
Speaker 8 (44:50):
Really?
Speaker 20 (44:51):
Yeah, because it was just bad between us. The chemistry
was not good. Shady Boots, Andy Cohen was in there
stirring stuff up. And then she said something on G's
Twitter and I said something back.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
But we started at a Broadway show and it was like,
we're grown. Why are we doing this? We're very, very
cool now.
Speaker 6 (45:10):
Speaking of Broadway, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
What a segue. The first woman to play the genie
in any Disney produced Aladdin in the world. In the world.
Speaker 6 (45:20):
I can't even believe it.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
I've been starting.
Speaker 20 (45:25):
I've been taking my dance lessons and vocal lessons, and
I officially start my rehearsals next week.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
I am working seven days a week.
Speaker 6 (45:34):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Listen, so if you still had that show, would you
be able to do that? I would not have been
able to do this.
Speaker 7 (45:39):
So when you come in here, you sit down and say,
for me not to have a job. Listen, you always booked,
and I love that you are on Broadway.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
What was that like? When you're about to be on Broadway,
what was that first moment when he called you? Like,
all right, this is what he wants you to do.
Speaker 20 (45:52):
When they called me, because I had went in to
meet with the producers for the Broadway show, Ann Juliet.
Speaker 5 (45:57):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
And I was so anxiety ridden. I had taken two
singing lessons. I knew it.
Speaker 20 (46:03):
Back five years ago, I said, Sherri, take singing lessons
because something is going to happen. And I was just
too busy. So I was like taking lessons for that.
They had wanted to see me. And then they called.
They wanted to cast a woman. And they made the offer. Like,
it wasn't even I had to audition. They made the offer.
So that's why I tell people, even when I go
(46:23):
through anxiety, I go, they already know who you are.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
They know what you do. They know you're not a
professional singer.
Speaker 20 (46:30):
They know you got voted off Dancing with the Stars.
They've done their research. And they came to you and
made the offer. So, Sherri, walk in what God wrote.
Don't spit in his face.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Exactly.
Speaker 20 (46:41):
So, I'm not a professional singer, but I'm going to
be a professional singer now. So it was absolutely amazing
and it was a dream come true because I never
really told people I wanted to do Broadway. I got
to do it when I played Cinderella the Evil Stepmother
with Keke Palmer.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
We did it on Broadway. But I didn't have any solos.
I think I got three or four solos. Angel in
the Rubble. Angel and the Rebel. Very dramatic, like intensely dramatic.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
That's this Saturday. It comes out this Saturday.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
That's this Saturday on Lifetime, yeah.
Speaker 20 (47:08):
So it's the Janelle Guzman story who was one of the,
was she the first survivor?
Speaker 3 (47:12):
She was the last survivor in the 9-11 attacks.
Speaker 8 (47:15):
Wow.
Speaker 20 (47:16):
She worked at the Port Authority and she was a
Trinidadian lady.
Speaker 8 (47:20):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 20 (47:20):
And she was the last rescue, but she was buried
alive for 27 hours before she was rescued under 13
feet of concrete in the last tower that fell.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
So many stories. I don't even remember that story.
Speaker 8 (47:31):
Right.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
It's a lot of stories.
Speaker 20 (47:34):
She wrote a book because somebody put their hand through
the air hole, a firefighter named Paul. And every time
she thought she was going to die or pass out
from pain, he would say, wake up.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
They're coming. They're coming. So when they finally rescued her,
they never found this Paul person. Never. First of all,
who could put their hand through 13 feet of concrete?
So he was real. So she wrote a book. I
thought he was just an angel. Was he real? Was
he real?
Speaker 20 (47:55):
She wrote a book called Angel and the Robot because
she felt God sent an angel. Because how can you
put your hand through 13 feet of concrete?
Speaker 3 (48:02):
That's true. No, you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
How did they know she was there if she was
under 13 feet? I'm just curious.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
That's why she wrote the book.
Speaker 9 (48:09):
And how did they didn't dig it out and just say,
you know what, everybody's dead? Like, how did they know
that there was somebody still alive there?
Speaker 20 (48:14):
It was also a dog that sniffed her out. Shout
out to all the dogs. They're all, they've all passed away.
Speaker 6 (48:19):
How do you know all the dogs are dead?
Speaker 3 (48:20):
Because I went to the memorial and I saw all
of the, did you go, Charlamagne?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
No.
Speaker 6 (48:24):
Well, then why? You mean like actual professionals?
Speaker 3 (48:28):
Yes. Charlamagne, where are you at today?
Speaker 6 (48:32):
Hello, knock, knock.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
I'm like dogs.
Speaker 19 (48:35):
What is going on with you?
Speaker 6 (48:36):
How do you know I'm a dog?
Speaker 3 (48:37):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 8 (48:38):
Charlamagne.
Speaker 6 (48:39):
I'm a dog down there right now. I'm still here.
What you talking about?
Speaker 5 (48:42):
Don't kill me.
Speaker 6 (48:43):
I'm a living legend dog.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
No, they were working dogs who worked till their paws bled.
Speaker 20 (48:50):
Like if you go to the memorial, they have a
whole room of these dogs who knew they were trying
to find people. They've all passed away. People adopted them,
but they're gone now. And there was a dog that
sniffed her out.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
But exactly.
Speaker 20 (49:02):
It talked about how she found her faith in God
because she lost everybody that she worked with.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
What was the smallest detail she gave you that like
just unlocked.
Speaker 6 (49:10):
The character for you?
Speaker 20 (49:11):
I don't think it was one small detail. It was
what she was going through when she was laying there.
Because the stuff was sitting on her head. She couldn't
move her head. She couldn't move her legs. So when
you're still, all you can do is call out. If
you didn't have a God before, you call out to
him when you think you're going to die.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
She had no water.
Speaker 20 (49:30):
She was dehydrated and going through guilt, survivor's remorse. Why
am I here and my friends are not here? What
is so special about me? And now, you know, she
lives a life of joy. She tells people about her
God and, you know, she shows that you can go
through difficult circumstances.
Speaker 3 (49:48):
And come out still victorious.
Speaker 6 (49:49):
Have you ever had your own version of that?
Speaker 20 (49:51):
Yeah, I think probably when I went through that second
divorce and everybody hated my guts about, you know, and
I was.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
Like, it was like I had nothing. I couldn't get
any deals.
Speaker 20 (50:00):
I wasn't getting called for auditions like that. You know,
people I'm used to people really liking me. And when
I went through the second divorce and it was a
child involved. People assumed things about me that weren't true.
I literally was at rock bottom. And I felt like
everybody in the world hated me.
Speaker 6 (50:16):
And that was hard. So what did God say to
you in that moment?
Speaker 20 (50:19):
He told me to be quiet. So when all this
stuff was swirling about me, God said, be quiet. Just
don't say nothing. Don't, you know, you ain't got to
lash back out.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
Try to explain. I will deal with it.
Speaker 20 (50:28):
And, you know, and also I was broke, too, because
I was paying for so many attorneys, Charlamagne. This was
a case that was going on in L.A. because the
judges didn't want to release it because it was a
celebrity case. I had to fight it in New Jersey.
I had to fight it in Philadelphia. I was paying
for everybody's attorney. That divorce cost me a million dollars, $ 200, 000.
Speaker 8 (50:45):
Damn. Wow.
Speaker 3 (50:48):
It was so expensive. I was broke. And people think
because they see you on TV and they see you
in movies.
Speaker 20 (50:53):
Them movies you did a year before. Those little guest stars,
they pay very little. If your expenses are more than
your income, you broke. I was never driving around in.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
A Rolls Royce.
Speaker 3 (51:03):
I was never, you know, I was renting a house.
I lost my house. I owe the IRS. So much.
Real life.
Speaker 20 (51:11):
The day I paid off the IRS and they sent me,
it was when I had the Sherry show and they
sent me a receipt.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
It said paid in full.
Speaker 20 (51:18):
When I tell you I was on the flow crying,
I couldn't because it said paid in full.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
And I was like, thank you, Jesus.
Speaker 20 (51:25):
So people don't know that I got a job on
Soul Man because Cedric just was took pity on me
because I had no money. And Niecy was on there
and they gave me this job on Soulmate. I flew
back and forth.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
My son, they was calling me from his school every
day going, you're not here. Where are you? I'm trying
to work. I'm a single mother. I did everything except
show to sell some on the street. And that's only
because of my age. They didn't want the old. And
I'm going to tell you, it was some comics that
came and it was like, I'll help you out, but
you know what you got to do. Set it off.
(52:00):
You don't never want to be in a bind to
a comic. You can't help me just because you want
to help me. I mean, I'll help you, but them tits.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Ooh.
Speaker 3 (52:10):
Golly.
Speaker 6 (52:11):
I'm in a bind, Nate. When it was all over. Oh,
my God.
Speaker 7 (52:16):
Your first romance novel you writing?
Speaker 3 (52:18):
Oh, it's called Life is a K-Drama. Because I'm obsessed
with K-dramas. I watch them till four in the morning.
So I like to watch them because you know what?
It's a slow courtship. They don't just jump into bed.
Like what happens to Korean dramas? They go into the
room and then they come out the next morning. Like
you don't see it. Or they'll be wrestling with each
other and then it's the next morning. That's when you
(52:40):
know they're about to have sex. Sometimes I like that.
Speaker 20 (52:42):
I like sometimes when they get into bed and they're
sleeping with people.
Speaker 3 (52:44):
But it's like a courtship. It's like, you know, it's
raining and all of a sudden he's there with the
umbrella or she slips and falls and he's catching her.
Speaker 20 (52:52):
And they have really great storylines. And so I watch
them till four in the morning. I'm so tired, but
I'm obsessed with them. And so what I started seeing
was it's, you know, it's a Korean drama, but black women,
there's a lot of interracial relationships.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
There's a lot of black women who are married to
Korean men. Why can't I see a black woman? And
if you don't see it. Do something about it.
Speaker 20 (53:10):
And I told my agent, I said, I would love
to see a black woman and a Korean man. Like,
why can't we get the rich man? And so he said,
my literary agent, he's Korean. He said, I like it.
So I teamed up with a Korean American romance writer.
She's been on the USA bestseller list. I'm on the
New York Times bestseller list. So we collaborated and I
(53:32):
was with my friend Melba from Melba's Comfort Food.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
And I saw what a boss she is. She's got
like five restaurants, Melba.
Speaker 20 (53:40):
And, you know, she's she's got to open one over
in across the across the daggone world.
Speaker 3 (53:45):
And she's got two in Jersey and one.
Speaker 20 (53:47):
In Roman Rink and one at Grand Central Station. And
I saw how she moved. And I said, what if
it was a woman who had like a soul food restaurant?
And so what it is, is in Korea, her red
velvet cake recipe went viral. So they want to bring
it over and make it international. So she when she
travels to Korea, she thinks she meets a bartender who's
(54:08):
this gorgeous Korean man. But he's actually the heir to
the Cheval. And that's like a conglomerate. A powerful, like
Samsung or, you know, Ikea. He's the heir to all
of this power and all of this money. And she
thought he was a bartender. So she has to leave
because she has a son who's had special needs because
I had to put my life in it. And she
rushes home. And he's like, he don't know who she is.
(54:28):
But he's so attracted to that caramel skin. And he's just,
it's just something about Keisha. His name is Seo Joon.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
And Keisha.
Speaker 20 (54:35):
And he travels across the world to find this woman.
And it turns out this is the business that they're
trying to get. And the sex is so good.
Speaker 3 (54:45):
I mean, her name is Keisha.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
And her name is Keisha.
Speaker 20 (54:47):
And the intimate scenes, they don't show those on K-dramas, but...
They some for your mama.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
This is romanticizing kind of like, I mean, cause you're dating, right?
He's good. So you've narrowed it down. No, I'm not
narrowing it down. Just dating.
Speaker 20 (55:01):
I just don't talk about it. He didn't ask for this.
He does not care about Hollywood. I asked him if
he wanted to be Tom Cruise. And this is what
he said. He said, we about to go see.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
Him in the movie. Why I got to meet him?
I love that. He in the movie.
Speaker 20 (55:14):
He doesn't care. You know, this is the sexy thing.
I'll tell you what he said. He said, God forbid
something happened to you. I will always, always take care
of Jeffrey.
Speaker 8 (55:24):
Number one.
Speaker 20 (55:25):
He said, because I love him like he's my own son.
And he said, and Sherry. God forbid something happened to you,
I'm going to be the one wiping your ass. I'm
going to wipe the spit off your mouth. At this age,
that was very sexy.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
When a man say, I'm the one.
Speaker 6 (55:39):
That's going to wipe your ass.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
See, y'all don't know that. Wait till you get over here.
Speaker 6 (55:43):
No, he know that.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
Embiid is starting to wipe his ass.
Speaker 11 (55:46):
He ain't just.
Speaker 3 (55:47):
Talking about to wash his butt. You didn't see that story?
Speaker 6 (55:49):
That is not true. Here's the headline. Look at the headline.
Don't even let him listen.
Speaker 3 (55:52):
It's a DJ Embiid says wife Gia taught him to
wash his butt. Yeah, because he didn't know, so. That's
why people love you, because you open.
Speaker 11 (56:01):

Speaker 6 (56:02):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (56:02):
Because there's a lot of men. That's right. y'all every
day every day.
Speaker 2 (56:18):
Every day it's a lot.
Speaker 20 (56:20):
Of men who feel the way you do they will
never say you know why they don't say because everybody
gonna make fun of it so they don't want to

or to and be vulnerable But it's good.
Speaker 3 (56:31):
See, and she talks, she, cause she loves you. I'm
trying to, I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to
be the woman.
Speaker 20 (56:39):
Cause that's what we got to do with me.
Speaker 3 (56:42):
You got to soften the blow.
Speaker 20 (56:44):
And that's what she told all her friends. I guarantee you. Envy,
I guarantee you. She done got with her friends and
when they went out drinking, your ass.
Speaker 3 (56:53):

we always balance it out.
Speaker 17 (57:00):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 10 (57:01):
I was trying to help you.
Speaker 6 (57:03):
That's another story.
Speaker 8 (57:06):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (57:08):
Envy. If you can't wash your booty, you got to
be good in the bedroom. Something got to give.
Speaker 2 (57:14):
Envy, dude.
Speaker 3 (57:15):
Listen, she couldn't comment.
Speaker 10 (57:17):
Ten years.
Speaker 3 (57:18):
Admitted his wife faked orgasms. Envy, you talk too much. Oh,
my God.
Speaker 2 (57:23):
All right, now I got to explain. I've been with
my wife since 16. Since 16.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
How long you been with her?
Speaker 2 (57:29):
We gotta get content.
Speaker 3 (57:31):
We gotta get content. You gotta get me some content.
So you don't really know what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (57:36):
Exactly. So you watch a porn and it's bang, bang, bang, bang.
And you realize it's not. We took each other's virginity.
And we had to learn each other.
Speaker 3 (57:44):
And you had to relearn each other.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (57:45):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (57:46):
So she faked it for a while.
Speaker 3 (57:47):
Until what age? Till last Tuesday.
Speaker 9 (57:53):
When we did it and we wrote the book, so
many men and so many women said, I fake it too.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
You got to do it very slowly. Kissing is very important.
Speaker 2 (58:01):
I know now. You got to explain now.
Speaker 8 (58:03):
I know now.
Speaker 3 (58:04):
Oh, I thought you wanted me to tell you.
Speaker 8 (58:06):
No, no, no.
Speaker 20 (58:07):
I'm going to let you know. A woman get a
certain age, you got to know what you're doing. You
got to know where you're going, whether you're going east, west, north, south,
and you.
Speaker 15 (58:17):
Got to do it.
Speaker 2 (58:17):
I got it now, Sherri.
Speaker 3 (58:18):
I'm good now.
Speaker 2 (58:19):
I got six kids now.
Speaker 8 (58:20):
I'm good.
Speaker 20 (58:20):
His nose is red like Rudolph. If you do need something,
you can always call me.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
I'm good, Sherri. Okay, I'm just saying. Any more stories
you want to share? You the one sharing them. I
know we got to wrap, but I said I'm happy
for you.
Speaker 20 (58:36):
You talked a lot about like your dating life and
figuring out or lack thereof on your show.
Speaker 3 (58:41):
Yeah, I think this is like an update for us.
Speaker 20 (58:42):
Well, this is really good because he he this is
you when you know you got a good one. He
inconveniences himself for me. He tries to make sure he's
my peace. He always, it's like he listens, you know?
So he, he, you know, this Hollywood thing, he don't
want me to give a script to nobody.
Speaker 3 (58:59):
He ain't trying to get a picture with nobody. He,
it ain't none of that. He's very secure in who
he is. Like he's coming to see me at my
screening of Angel and the Rebel. It's tomorrow.
Speaker 20 (59:10):
He already told everybody I'm the purse holder and he's
OK with it. He don't want to get on the
red carpet. He don't want to be known as the boyfriend.
And he's a leader.
Speaker 3 (59:18):
He is a man's man.
Speaker 20 (59:20):
So it's some stuff. He'll tell me I'm not one
of your employees. And I'm not one of your employees
because I'm used to being bossy. But he can handle
all that. You know, and he makes room for me.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
He always is there.
Speaker 6 (59:33):
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 3 (59:34):
So watch my movies on Lifetime this Saturday, this Saturday,
8 p.m.
Speaker 2 (59:39):
Eastern time.
Speaker 3 (59:40):
And I wanted to shout out your breast cancer campaign.
No questions. I just wanted to shout out. Girl, I
thought you were saying I was like, wait a minute. No,
you got a campaign to get the campaign.
Speaker 6 (59:49):
I'm going to shout out your breast cancer.
Speaker 3 (59:52):
Shout out to your breast cancer.
Speaker 8 (59:54):
Like what?
Speaker 20 (59:57):
And I said, all my big breasted sisters consider a
breast reduction. It was the best thing I ever did
ever in breast cancer awareness.
Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
We really go get the mammograms.
Speaker 20 (01:00:12):
Because it's really, we have very, you know, it's dense
tissue and sometimes we can't tell. So go get the
mammograms because it will save your life.
Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Absolutely. What did I do with the meat? I told
him to put it in my booty. I don't think
that was paying attention. I was like, no, I'm serious.
All that breast meat, put that in my booty.
Speaker 6 (01:00:32):
I do not have a.
Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Black girl booty. Give it to me. Put it on
my hips and my booty. That's right.
Speaker 10 (01:00:39):
And they probably gave it.
Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
To some other person.
Speaker 20 (01:00:41):
They walking around with my tits on their ass.
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 20 (01:01:22):
So I know we just talked to Sherri Shepherd and
talked about a lot of things that she was doing.
I want to mention she mentioned something that she's doing
in honor of breast cancer. I wanted to mention last
night and give a shout out to Harlem's Fashion Row.
Last night I attended their event. It's like a big
kickoff for Fashion Week here in New York.
Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
But I went on behalf of the Susan G. Coleman Foundation.
Speaker 20 (01:01:41):
They are leaders in breast cancer research and patient health
as well, too. So we put together this T-shirt with
a designer who won one hundred thousand dollars last night
to invest into her career. Her name is Stella Jean.
And the T-shirt that I wore says, you know, it's
about protecting the girls. But you were able to scan
a T-shirt and donate to the Susan G. Coleman Foundation
(01:02:01):
while we were active in the event. toward everything that
they're doing. But last night was great. So I just
wanted to say thank you guys for having me. I
want people to know about the Susan G. Coleman Foundation.
You can go to their website, find out more about them,
how you support them. And the photos that I posted
in my Don't Play With The Girls t-shirt, you guys
can go and get them and they'll be out in
time or to you in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
(01:02:23):
which is in October. And last night at the Harlem
Fashion Row event, Erykah Badu was honored. Tracee Ellis Ross spoke.
She's like a big proponent of Harlem's Fashion Row. I
saw Gunna there as well too. It was just a
good night in honor of community and breast cancer awareness.
So I wanted to say thank you guys for having me.
Now let's shift gears a bit. Let's take it on
(01:02:44):
over to LA. Um, now we've been following some of
the bigger developments in the dirt case. And yesterday, um,
the everything rested so now the jury is going back
into the quarters and they'll be deliberating and trying.
Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
To figure out what they think.
Speaker 20 (01:03:01):
Now it's in deliberations so I mean there's been a
ton of back and forth from both sides and for
those of you guys who have not been following it
this is a murder for hire trial so Dirk is
on trial because the government is basically saying that he
is responsible for organizing the shooting that happened in LA
where music artist Kondo Rondo's cousin was killed His team is,
(01:03:22):
you know, denying everything. There are witnesses on the stand
that were taking a stand against him as well. But yes,
the jury is now deliberating. There are people outside protesting,
you know, in support of Dirk yesterday. So we'll be
waiting to see kind of what happens now.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
And he's facing life. He's facing life in prison.
Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Yes, he is facing life in prison.
Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (01:03:37):
Okay.
Speaker 20 (01:03:38):
Yeah, so we'll be back with updates as that happens.
Sometimes it could take a week. I mean, we'll just
have to wait and see.
Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
What are they saying? Are they saying anything?
Speaker 9 (01:03:44):
I know at one time when Diddy's case, they assumed
that Diddy was going to have a lot of charges dropped.
Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Are they saying the same thing in Dirk's? Are they
saying it looks good for him? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Oh, because the jury can't say anything to us.
Speaker 9 (01:03:55):
No, no, the people that's been watching the case because
they got all these attorneys that's watching it.
Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
It depends on what side you... Didn't Vaughn.
Speaker 7 (01:04:01):
King Bombay might have come up and say something that
actually made the case take a turn or something like that?
Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
Yeah, so there's statements with her. There are statements from.
Speaker 20 (01:04:09):
They had like three corroborating people from Dirk's label. It's
been back and forth. It depends on what you were
watching it because you have his team and then you
have the opposing team. I know Dirk's dad, though, has
been saying that they don't have strong evidence against him
if you guys want to take a listen to that.
He's been outside of the trial and there every single day.
Speaker 6 (01:04:25):
As well, too.
Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Yeah, but it depends on who you're talking to, though, basically.
Speaker 12 (01:04:29):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Yeah, we'll just have to wait to see what the
jury says.
Speaker 6 (01:04:32):
That's the only people that matter at this point.
Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
And we'll know by the end of the week, I'm sure, right?
Speaker 20 (01:04:37):
I can't say that for certain. I don't know that
for certain. People have different predictions, but I don't know.
All right, now let's move on.
Speaker 14 (01:04:43):
So....
Speaker 20 (01:04:45):
Still staying over in LA, Chris Rock. So Chris Rock
had a conversation with Variety. I think you guys will
enjoy the conversation. So he's talking about kind of like
this new return, not even new, but his return to directing.
It's been 12 years since he directed something and he's
returning with his new film, Misty Green. It's going to
be in theaters via A24 in October. And he's actually
(01:05:07):
saying that this is one of the most important things
that he's ever done or put out in his career
since Bring the Pain.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
Is it a horror film?
Speaker 20 (01:05:13):
So it's like it's like a heartbreaking film. It's about
this girl who is like an up and coming actress.
She's having issues with booking jobs. She was once on
top of the game and now she's out of it
and she's trying to get back into it. But she
was like kind of difficult to work with. So she's
going through all these things as she figures it out.
And he's also acting in the film as well, too.
But in this article, he talks a lot about, you know,
just the kind of the turn that he's taken with
(01:05:34):
going back to directing and. and how when he was
doing just comedy and directing a bit, he feels like
he was kind of given a pass because of who
he was at the time. And he points to some
of the things that he's directed previously that were not
reviewed well.
Speaker 6 (01:05:52):
Like what?
Speaker 20 (01:05:53):
He says all his prior movies, and even in the
Variety article, they bring up some of the prior movies
that he's directed.
Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
He's always been honest about how he don't feel like
he scored with a movie.
Speaker 6 (01:06:02):
I thought Top 5 was good, though.
Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
Well, he talks about head of state particularly.
Speaker 12 (01:06:08):
Right.
Speaker 20 (01:06:09):
And he says when he was on head of state,
he was like he was basically Drake. Like he was
so big as Chris Rock that he was kind of
allowed to do whatever he wanted. And he says that
if he knew then what he knows now, he would
have written it for Denzel Washington. He wouldn't even have
put himself in that movie, but he didn't know his
power at the time.
Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
Didn't he do an interview.
Speaker 20 (01:06:29):
Yeah but it's written in his audio this is not
an audio this is all written but we do have
audio with him talking a bit about him losing the
so just play the audio I gotta explain it because
it's not about what we're talking about but since we're
going to the audio so Chris Rock was also talking
about the fact that Everybody Hates Chris was supposed to
(01:06:51):
be on Fox and it wasn't on Fox because Method
Man and Red Man Show took the slate let's take
a listen So I.
Speaker 19 (01:06:57):
Write this show, this family drama, this family comedy.
Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
We were initially at Fox.
Speaker 19 (01:07:02):
The choice of shows was either my show, Everybody Hates Chris,
or the Method Man and Red Man show. And we
lost to the Method Man and Red Man show, which
put Everybody Hates Chris, so it didn't air on Fox.
Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
It aired on the UPN.
Speaker 19 (01:07:20):
If it aired on Fox, I wouldn't be here right
now because I would have made so much money.
Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
But that's how it is.
Speaker 19 (01:07:27):
That's how it is when you make black family stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:07:32):
If I'd have had two rappers smoking weed.
Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Well, they didn't last that long.
Speaker 19 (01:07:36):
I mean, you know, Meth, they're doing fine, both of
those guys.
Speaker 6 (01:07:39):
I love those guys.
Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
But how the f * * * did I lose
that one?
Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
I don't even.
Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Remember the method. I don't remember it past the pilot though.
I now remember the show. I just don't remember it
past the pilot. Everybody hates Chris.
Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
Classic, though.
Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Yeah, classic.
Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
But I still watch that.
Speaker 20 (01:07:54):
I think my biggest takeaway from, like, so the written
interview is where, like, a lot of the stuff is.
My biggest takeaway from this written interview was that, like,
now he feels like he has more of, like, a
through line or, like, focus. Remember he talked about being
diagnosed with ADHD, Asperger's? Well, he talked about that back
in 2020. He actually says that now he's been doing
extensive therapy for So he has a lot of different
(01:08:17):
level of concentration and empathy that he didn't have back then.
So he says he was good at telling jokes, but
he didn't have to face a lot of things. His
comedic gifts put him in a position where he didn't
have to grow up. So he's better equipped now to
make movies now.
Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
Listen, Chris Rock is goaded.
Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Okay, Chris Rock has scored way too many times for
me to ever count him out.
Speaker 6 (01:08:35):
I didn't even like the headline of the Variety article.
It was Variety, right?
Speaker 15 (01:08:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Well, it was a bunch of people that covered it
because they grabbed the Oscars thing.
Speaker 6 (01:08:41):
Well, what was the cover?
Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
Variety. Yeah, it's a comeback.
Speaker 6 (01:08:44):
It's a comeback. I don't even like that. I'm like, comeback?
Speaker 20 (01:08:47):
But it's because he kind of frames the article as
like this is like his second leash on things, like
lease on things. But that's why when I said it,
I kind of corrected myself because it's weird to say
that about him.
Speaker 7 (01:08:55):
But what did you say well I don't know you
should say he's like a rebrand or reinvent himself.
Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
He never went nowhere yeah he never went nowhere he's.
Speaker 9 (01:09:03):
Been directing even after the slap he's been on tour
he's been doing a bunch.
Speaker 20 (01:09:05):
Of things it just sounds like now he has a
better hold on what his direction is in business and
as the director guy like he wants to be known
as the director guy and.
Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
That perspective comes from him right.
Speaker 20 (01:09:15):
Yeah that's what I'm saying that's what he's literally talking
about he's saying it yes alright.
Speaker 9 (01:09:19):
Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Now, Lauren, I
just want to let you know, you know who Alfalfa is?
Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
Yes. It's supposed to be like this.
Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
Don't do me.
Speaker 20 (01:09:31):
I need you to worry about the arms and what
they're up over there. You've been working out for about
a year and you over there looking like a gel pen.
Speaker 6 (01:09:41):
I don't know what gel pen means.
Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
You don't remember the glittery gel pens?
Speaker 20 (01:09:43):
And they like flubbery and you would get them for
a back to side accent.
Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
She said gel pen.
Speaker 5 (01:09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
It sounded like she said gel pen.
Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
My wife loves me.
Speaker 6 (01:09:51):
That's all that matters. He would definitely get pinned down
in jail with.
Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
A black pen.
Speaker 6 (01:09:54):
Who you giving your dog to?
Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Speaking of jail, who you giving your dog to?
Speaker 6 (01:09:57):
I want to talk to N-Word. Okay, God gave me
a download this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
We keep having the same conversation over and over in
regards to the N-Word.
Speaker 6 (01:10:04):
So, you know, let's discuss. All right.
Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 6 (01:10:07):
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, girls. It's time for
donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here.
Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Call donkey of the day.
Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
It really caught me off guard.
Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
You are a donkey. That is why Charlemagne is here.
Some donkey today's just saw themselves.
Speaker 6 (01:10:32):
On The Breakfast Club. Okay, Chalamet, who you giving donkey
of the day to today?
Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
Listen, donkey of the day for Wednesday, September 9th goes
to all of us black and brown people who are
sitting around arguing about who can use the N-word.
Speaker 6 (01:10:44):
Gather round, okay? I just want to talk to you
for a second, man. This weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
the never ending discussion of who can use the N
word and who can't use the N word was, uh,
sparked because of fat Joe again.
Speaker 8 (01:10:55):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
He was on the Joe button podcast and he was
defending his use of the N word by pointing to
his upbringing in the Bronx, growing up in black housing
projects and his deep roots in hip hop culture.
Speaker 6 (01:11:05):
That's not even the conversation I want to have.
Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
All I've seen that conversation do is lead to a,
bunch of unserious.
Speaker 8 (01:11:10):
Arguments, all right?
Speaker 6 (01:11:11):
I like to learn, all right?
Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
And all that dialogue reminded me is that even though
I know better, I'm not doing better. And there was
a time where I said publicly, I wasn't using the
N-word anymore.
Speaker 6 (01:11:23):
And I want to challenge myself to do that again, okay? See,
for years, there's something we've.
Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Been saying that I don't think I've ever really believed.
And that statement is, we took the power out of
the N-word.
Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (01:11:36):
OK, I'm going to tell you something that you all
have heard a million times.
Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
If we took the power out of the N-word, why
do we get so mad when somebody else who's not
black says it? If there's no power in it, what's
the problem? OK, clearly there's still power in that word. OK,
what we actually did was create rules about who gets
to use it. And I don't think we should play
that game anymore. OK, I also don't believe it's a
term of endowment either.
Speaker 17 (01:11:58):
All right.
Speaker 6 (01:11:58):
I never, ever use it as a term of endowment. OK,
I use it.
Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
The way the white man and Uncle Ruckus meant it
to be used. OK, folks will be like, when I
call my man the N-word, it means brother. It means homie.
That means family.
Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Well, call him brother.
Speaker 6 (01:12:12):
OK, call him homie. Call him fam. I say peace,
black man. I say peace, king, because those are high.
vibrational words, okay?
Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
I only use the term N-word when I'm talking about
low vibrational people with low vibrational actions, okay? Black people,
we create new slang every damn day, okay? We have
no shortage of words. So why is the N-word one
we can't let go, okay? The word that was actually
created to degrade and dehumanize us, we can't let it go.
Speaker 6 (01:12:41):
I don't understand it, okay? There's a book, all right?
Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
I was showing y'all this book early this morning while
I was showing the room. well i was showing me
i was showing just hilarious right there's a book that
i love okay i'm holding it up in my hand
i grew up reading this book okay every now and
then i pick it up and read it again it's
got two volumes and it's called and i'm saying the
word for title purposes from niggas to gods okay by
akil all right in this book there's a chapter called
(01:13:07):
return to cinder let me see if i can you
see it right there it's called return to cinder all
right you see it In that chapter, it talks about
all the hell black people have caught in America. And
because of the hell we've caught, some of us have
become hell raisers. And it says in that chapter, we
need to give this hell back to whom it is
(01:13:28):
that we caught it from.
Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
And it says in particular.
Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
To give the n-word back all right we didn't create
that word white supremacy did all right that was their
word for us so why in the hell are we
fighting for ownership of it okay our ancestors fought to
not be called the n-word now their descendants us will
argue you down about our right to call each other
the n-word how did we get here how Imagine explaining
(01:13:54):
that to your great grandparents. Okay, well, look, I understand,
you know, y'all fought against being called this word because
it was used to degrade and dehumanize you.
Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
But don't worry, we fixed it. We call each other
that now.
Speaker 8 (01:14:05):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
No, that's okay, grandma. We changed the ER to an A.
If that makes sense to you, fine. Okay, if it
doesn't apply, let it fly. I'm just telling you how
I feel this morning. And I already know what somebody
is saying. We reclaimed it. Reclaimed what? OK, you reclaim
something that belonged to you. That word never belonged to us. OK,
our dignity belonged to us. Our humanity belonged to us.
(01:14:28):
Reclaim all of that. But the N word, that's some
crackers property. OK, return to send it.
Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
And I think we've confused something. We have confused defiance
with liberation.
Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
I'll say that again. We have confused defiance with liberation.
Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
OK, there's a difference between saying I'm going to use
your insult so you can't hurt me with it.
Speaker 8 (01:14:50):
All right.
Speaker 6 (01:14:50):
That's the Eminem and 8 Mile move.
Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
And then there is the your insult doesn't have anything
to do with me anymore move. OK, for me, the
second one sounds a whole lot freer.
Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
I don't need to prove you can't hurt me with
a knife by stabbing myself with it.
Speaker 6 (01:15:05):
OK, I could just put the damn knife down. That's
how I feel about the N-word.
Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
OK, I call it low vibrational because I don't believe
there's anything uplifting about speaking a word over ourselves that
was created from hatred towards us. And I'm not talking
about some scientific measurement of vibrations.
Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
I'm talking spiritually.
Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
OK, I'm talking about what I choose to speak over
myself and other black and brown people. Words mean something
to me. That's why I don't ever use the N
word in an affectionate way. OK, if I love you,
why would one of my terms of affection for you
be somebody else's term of degradation for both of us?
Speaker 11 (01:15:41):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
That's what I mean when I say this has to
be hilarious to a white supremacist. OK, a word they
created to dehumanize us, a word we used to fight
them for using. We are now fighting each other to use.
It don't make no damn sense to me. And I'm
not even going to get into the music.
Speaker 8 (01:15:56):
All right.
Speaker 6 (01:15:56):
That complicates this even more and makes it even more ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
We hand everybody the N word and then get mad
when somebody mishandles it.
Speaker 6 (01:16:05):
OK, here's an idea. Let's just stop handing it out. OK.
And by the way, you don't got to listen to me.
Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
I'm not trying to police no grown person's mouth.
Speaker 6 (01:16:13):
OK.
Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
Say whatever you want. I'm telling you what I believe
and what I think will work for me.
Speaker 6 (01:16:18):
OK. I don't think anybody should use it. OK. Black
people included. I don't think black.
Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
Liberation requires us to preserve the language of black degradation.
Speaker 6 (01:16:26):
OK, that's why I'm mad with it.
Speaker 8 (01:16:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
Some things our ancestors gave us because they wanted us
to keep them. And some things were done to our
ancestors that we inherited anyway. OK, those aren't the same thing.
The N-word is not some precious piece of black culture
that needs.
Speaker 6 (01:16:41):
To be protected.
Speaker 5 (01:16:42):
Right.
Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
It was put on us and we can take it off.
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
We don't need to change the spelling. We don't need
to change the pronunciation. We don't need to debate who's allowed.
Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
To say it.
Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
We don't need to take the power out of it, okay?
Just give the damn thing back. Return the sender, as
this beautiful book from Niggas to God says, okay?
Speaker 6 (01:17:01):
I don't want the package. Never ordered it.
Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
Don't know who signed for it. And I'm damn sure
not paying the shipping, okay? Our ancestors fought to make sure.
Speaker 6 (01:17:08):
The world knew they weren't that word.
Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
I'm not going to honor them by fighting for my
right to call myself what they fought not to be called.
Please give those of us arguing over who can use
the N-word the biggest hee-haw. And if you can, go
order this amazing book from Niggas to Gods by Akil. Okay,
(01:17:32):
I believe it's available on Amazon. I ordered this book
in the 90s. You see how it looks?
Speaker 8 (01:17:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:17:37):
It's even got water damage.
Speaker 20 (01:17:39):
All right.
Speaker 5 (01:17:39):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
Yeah, I had this book for a long time.
Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
I just ordered it from Amazon.
Speaker 6 (01:17:43):
Oh, it's still on Amazon?
Speaker 20 (01:17:44):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:17:44):

Speaker 6 (01:17:44):
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
And it's a volume two as well.
Speaker 6 (01:17:49):
It's definitely a volume two.
Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (01:17:52):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Well, thank you for that donkey today.

that he broke up, he was so upset.

Upset that he almost crashed into a tree because he.

Speaker 21 (01:20:07):
How you doing this morning?
Speaker 8 (01:20:07):
Hey, girl.
Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
What part of Jersey?
Speaker 10 (01:20:09):
Edison.
Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Edison, New Jersey.
Speaker 8 (01:20:11):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
So we're asking 800-585-1051, would you date your friend's ex?
Speaker 10 (01:20:16):
Okay, here is my truth.
Speaker 8 (01:20:18):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 17 (01:20:19):
I have an ex-girlfriend, and she was dealing with me
and a gentleman for 22 years, both of us.
Speaker 10 (01:20:27):
And now me and him are engaged.
Speaker 7 (01:20:30):
And did you tell her this before y'all just popped
out with it?
Speaker 23 (01:20:33):
Actually, we were all supposed to get together, and that
didn't happen, and me and him just got together.
Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
Oh, so that's different. You and your friend and your
man was about to have a relationship.
Speaker 14 (01:20:47):
I had a boyfriend at the time also, so it
was supposed to be her and him and me.
Speaker 5 (01:20:52):
And my boyfriend.
Speaker 17 (01:20:53):
Four quarters to come together to make a dollar.
Speaker 23 (01:20:56):
But she kind of got jealous.
Speaker 13 (01:20:58):
And started acting up.
Speaker 10 (01:20:59):
So we just put her out and put.
Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
Him out and we stayed together.
Speaker 5 (01:21:03):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
Yeah, they was trying to swing. But the ones, her
friend wasn't swinging that way.
Speaker 9 (01:21:08):
She ain't like that. So they swung her ass out. Yeah,
you took your friend's boo.
Speaker 20 (01:21:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
Damn.
Speaker 10 (01:21:14):
Well, she actually gave them to me. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
Hold on, wait.
Speaker 7 (01:21:18):
She never expressed, like, that she was upset at you
for that? Like, yo, of all the men in the world, mine?
You want to take mine?
Speaker 8 (01:21:24):
I've never seen him, like, Yeah, she upset.
Speaker 17 (01:21:26):
She expressed it.
Speaker 10 (01:21:28):
That she was upset, but she wasn't treating him right
or treating me right.
Speaker 14 (01:21:32):
Because we never knew each other, me and him.
Speaker 5 (01:21:35):
We just knew of each other through her.
Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Exactly.
Speaker 14 (01:21:37):
She made him think that I didn't like him and
made me think that he didn't like me.
Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
Exactly, to keep you all apart. Because she know how
frisky your ass was.
Speaker 14 (01:21:49):
Yeah, but then when we got together, we had so
many similarities and so much in common. We just fell
in love with each other.
Speaker 6 (01:21:58):
Well, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
Thank you, Mama. Well, I didn't ask the room yet
because I seen her on the line. I wanted to
catch her before.
Speaker 3 (01:22:03):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
Have you ever done that?
Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Or has somebody ever done it to you?
Speaker 3 (01:22:05):

Good morning, y'all.
Speaker 12 (01:23:14):
Hey, girl.
Speaker 6 (01:23:15):
Doctor here.
Speaker 23 (01:23:16):
So, to answer y'all's question, um... I actually have dated
my friend's ex before.
Speaker 10 (01:23:22):
But in my defense, in my defense, I did not
know that it was.
Speaker 23 (01:23:25):
Her ex at the time. So this is back in
high school. We 33 now. And we actually still cool
and everything like that. But at the time, so I
always had a crush. It's like freshman year.
Speaker 10 (01:23:35):
I had a crush on this boy.
Speaker 23 (01:23:36):
And we always were like flirting class and do stuff
like that.
Speaker 17 (01:23:39):
And, you know, talk to each other.
Speaker 23 (01:23:41):
And about, I think it was like the summer going
into junior year, we started dating. We started doing our little,
we had like a little three-month, three, four-month thing or whatever.
And then once we got back to school, she's like,
you know, we used to date. You know, we used
to go together.
Speaker 10 (01:23:56):
And I'm like, no, I didn't know that.
Speaker 23 (01:23:58):
And I felt bad, but at the same time, I
was like, you know, I really, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:24:01):
Don't care.
Speaker 19 (01:24:02):
What can I say?
Speaker 17 (01:24:02):
I didn't know.
Speaker 14 (01:24:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Yeah, that don't really count because that was high school.
That was years and years ago. That don't really count.
Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
And she didn't know, like she said. Like, I'm talking
about when you.
Speaker 14 (01:24:10):
Willingly do this.
Speaker 10 (01:24:10):
Right, because she would tell me, like, I mean, we
was cool.
Speaker 23 (01:24:13):
And why she didn't tell me that a long time ago,
she used to see how we used to flirt in class.
Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
Right.
Speaker 8 (01:24:17):
And everything. How old are you?
Speaker 14 (01:24:18):

Hello.
Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Now, have you ever dated your friend's ex?
Speaker 17 (01:25:47):
I did, but it was by accident. So what happened
was my friend was really, really into this guy and
he wasn't, obviously he wasn't into her. He was kind
of using her like a booty call or whatever. So
I was trying to tell her, leave him alone. So
I saw him one day. We happened to be in
the same place at the same time. He was trying
to talk to me and I was telling him, look,
if you're not into my friend, let her know because
(01:26:10):
she's really into you. So he picked up his phone
right there while we were all together and And called
my friend and said, hey, you know, basically broke up
with her. So she got upset with me and was like,
why would you get him to break up with me?
And I was telling her I was trying to help
you out. Long story short, she got upset with me,
brought friends over. They tried to fight me and everything.
So after that... Of course, we're enemies. So the guy
(01:26:32):
was telling me, well, look, y'all ain't friends no more,
so we might as well start talking.
Speaker 10 (01:26:36):
So that's what we did.
Speaker 17 (01:26:38):
So we ended.
Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Up getting married. But no, no, uh-uh, no.
Speaker 2 (01:26:42):

Speaker 3 (01:26:48):

he's not treating you right, girl.
Speaker 10 (01:26:53):
Break up with him.
Speaker 18 (01:26:54):
But he was trying to talk to you well when
he called her when he called her in front of
you that was right after you told him hey that's
right after he told you i want to talk to
you so he was like you're going to call my
friend and tell her like stop leaving her no that's
not it.
Speaker 17 (01:27:07):
I promise i told him no like a thousand times
and then i said plus because at the time he
was actually dealing with a whole nother woman so i
told her that too but she.
Speaker 3 (01:27:16):

something wrong to him.
Speaker 8 (01:28:17):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
He cut you off after he married your ex-wife?
Speaker 5 (01:28:20):
Well, he didn't marry her. Well, I think that he
is married now, but, yeah, I don't know what they
got going on now, but, yeah, he pretty much cut
me off.
Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
So they don't call him uncle, they call him pops now?
Speaker 5 (01:28:28):
I ain't got, I ain't have kids.
Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
Oh, okay, so you ain't have kids. Okay. Damn.
Speaker 5 (01:28:35):
I was, I was, I was, that was 10 years ago.
So I really didn't like, you know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:28:40):
Mean? It didn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
It didn't bother you?
Speaker 14 (01:28:42):
No.
Speaker 5 (01:28:43):
I was pretty, pretty wrecked.
Speaker 2 (01:28:45):
Cause he moved on. I guess he got a new wife,
but that's still what bothered me.
Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
That's my ex wife.
Speaker 7 (01:28:50):
Like I'm married this person. Not, you know, I did everything,
but have kids with this person. And my best friend,
my best friend dates her.
Speaker 6 (01:28:57):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
I think it's crazy.
Speaker 10 (01:28:58):
That is nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
That's not really your friend.
Speaker 8 (01:29:00):
Right.
Speaker 7 (01:29:00):
I mean, wouldn't that have you thinking, like, yo, I
ain't had a whole time. Like, you've been my best
friend since longer than I know her.
Speaker 14 (01:29:08):
They probably belong together, man.
Speaker 5 (01:29:09):
To be honest with you, they probably belong together the
whole time. I wasn't the shit.
Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
I see how you're looking at it.
Speaker 6 (01:29:15):
He moved on.
Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
He got kids.
Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
He don't care about it no more. Take it. That's
his problem now.
Speaker 6 (01:29:19):
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 12 (01:29:20):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (01:29:20):
The fact that he cut me off is like, man.
Speaker 8 (01:29:23):
Right.
Speaker 6 (01:29:23):
He the one got mad.
Speaker 8 (01:29:24):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:29:26):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:29:27):
Thank you, brother.
Speaker 5 (01:29:28):
But I see why. I can see why.
Speaker 6 (01:29:31):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
Yeah. You know, it's cool.
Speaker 7 (01:29:36):
That's crazy to me. It's too many people in the
world to be doing that. And like you said, you
said it earlier. I said it just now. That means
you always had eyes for the person that was once
your friend's man or woman. Like, yo, how could you
just get with somebody.
Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
art they constantly see how happy you were i hear
you talking about how good yeah that man is in
bed yeah you know i'm saying if you walking around
talking about how you have five six multiple orgasms you
know what i'm saying for sure you want to feel
that current right right i've never been that but you.
Speaker 9 (01:30:08):
Believe in connection though because people say the connection is
stronger your soulmate do you know i mean because that
could be your quote-unquote soulmate But I'm not giving.
Speaker 6 (01:30:15):
And there's whole mates too, man.
Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
Right.
Speaker 7 (01:30:17):
I'm not giving somebody a chance to even have a
connection with me, even if I know that she was
dealing with my, like, nah, we should never have a
chance to connect on another level.
Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
Nah, I would feel like that was always your intention.
Speaker 8 (01:30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
Like, no, that's, that's, it's too many people.
Speaker 9 (01:30:30):
And that's why a lot of men don't like their
girlfriends or wives having male friends because they always feel
like their male friends is always out for something else.
Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
No, and that is true. That is really, really true.
Speaker 6 (01:30:41):
I'm still stuck on the fact Sheena used to like men.
Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Yo, shut up.
Speaker 6 (01:30:44):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:30:47):
Everybody except Rome. She ain't like Rome. Actually, she related
to Rome.
Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
So was Sheena a stud then?
Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
Sheena is a super stud. She is a stud, yeah.
But she's like men.
Speaker 6 (01:30:55):
That's what got me confused. I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
She just got a thing about them.
Speaker 7 (01:30:59):
I'm talking like she would be flirting with, it was
two boyfriends I had before I got married to Chris.
Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
She had a crush on one of them. She was
talking to him. She'd be, you know, flirting and all
of that.
Speaker 17 (01:31:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
I'm like, man, them studs, they'll bust it open if
you get them in the right place.
Speaker 6 (01:31:15):
I'm looking at her a little different. I like a
steady stud. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 8 (01:31:19):
She's steady.
Speaker 6 (01:31:19):
I like a stud that can keep it sturdy. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
She's discreet, but she's steady, though.
Speaker 6 (01:31:23):
She's steady.
Speaker 19 (01:31:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
What's the moral of this story?
Speaker 3 (01:31:25):
I don't think she'd go far and, like, have sex
with a man or nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Well, she won't go with it, then.
Speaker 3 (01:31:28):
It's something about a man.
Speaker 6 (01:31:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:31:30):
It's something about a man or something about my man that,
you know, she always have liked.
Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
Well, what's the moral of the story if there is
a moral? She didn't really want Jess.
Speaker 6 (01:31:39):
There you go. All right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
When we come back, we got to lay this with Lauren. No,
we're not even going to put that out there.
Speaker 14 (01:31:46):
No, she don't.
Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
Stop playing.
Speaker 6 (01:31:47):
We're going to lay.
Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
This with Lauren. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 6 (01:31:50):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (01:33:55):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
All right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
It's going to be fire. That's what's up.
Speaker 20 (01:33:59):
Now, speaking of music and performing live, we had talked
about Joey Badass, right?
Speaker 23 (01:34:04):
Absolutely.
Speaker 20 (01:34:05):
And he went viral because he performed a cover of
Song Cry.
Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Let's take a quick listen. You got to play full thing.
Speaker 20 (01:34:10):
Just a quick listen to the cover of Song Cry
he did over Labor Day weekend and went viral. back
like that all right now that went viral because i
was just after them girls i was gonna get right
(01:34:31):
back go ahead yep now this is in the midst
of his breakup from serea who we know that he
was engaged to they just welcomed their child so it
went viral because people were like uh-uh why are you
trying to get her back through songs and it wasn't
even like that it's not even yours when we talked
about it here um uh yesterday uh we i said
well maybe it was like a uh a transition that
he was using to get into a song during his
(01:34:52):
live show. So someone from Joey's team hit me up
and they wanted to clarify that. Yes, that is exactly
what it was. He has a song called Penny Royal
that he does. And that was just a transition. And
of course it picked up because of all of the
circumstances that are going.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
On right now.
Speaker 6 (01:35:03):
He does that often. Is that part of the show?
Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
That is the way that it was interpreted to me.
Speaker 14 (01:35:07):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (01:35:08):
And he says for people that look at it that way,
they said, for people that look at it that way,
thanks for being open-minded.
Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Yeah, I mean, because the reality is they don't want
to hear, if he was to do something like that publicly,
they would want to hear it from him himself. They
want to hear his own words. And they don't want
the song to cry joy. They want you to cry.
Speaker 8 (01:35:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
I listen to these women every day in here.
Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
They want to see you in tears, balled up in.
Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
The fetal position.
Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
Absolutely. Please don't leave me.
Speaker 6 (01:35:33):
Even though I tell them mine ain't been seen. He should.
Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Matter of fact, yes.
Speaker 7 (01:35:36):
He should do the song Please Don't Go by Hank.
Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
He should cover that. He samples a lot. He could
take that, add some lyrics. So he got to figure
that out, though. That's what's up. Get that family back.
If Soraya sing on the hook, she can sing too.
I don't think she want to sing with him right now.
Speaker 9 (01:35:48):
Guys, I don't even know if he wants to get back.
I don't even know if they want to come back together.
Told you I'm on your business.
Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
He want her back.
Speaker 2 (01:35:54):
How you know?
Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
I just, I can feel it. I don't know.
Speaker 20 (01:35:57):
But if he does, he got to figure it out. Now,
we're going to shift gears for a second. Dang, it's 8.59.
Chingy did an interview with Vlad, right? And I want
y'all to clear this up because me and Jess were
not here. In this interview, Chingy says that platforms, like
the Breakfast Club, made things a lot worse for him
during the Sydney Star time.
Speaker 3 (01:36:17):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 8 (01:36:17):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 15 (01:36:18):
This is when I got back with Disturbing the Peace.
This was like 06, 07. We was in Chicago for
a show. It was some girls, what looked like all
girls in body paint on stage. And one came over
and asked me for a picture, said they was a
huge fan. And I took the picture. And that was it.
Two years later, the individual lied and said they had
a relationship with me.
Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
And that was Sidney Starr, who was a transgender.
Speaker 5 (01:36:40):
Yep.
Speaker 15 (01:36:40):
The morning I found out, when I was asleep, I
woke up to my homeboy texting me. And he was like, man,
you see this bull on social media? I didn't know
what he was talking about. I think people wanted that
to be true because everybody that interviewed that individual never lied.
bother to say you know what we finna call chingy
why you right here let's see what chingy got to
(01:37:02):
say about this i'm talking about everybody with the famous
big platforms the breakfast club and you know all of
these platforms nobody bothered to get my take on it
at all.
Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
I never interviewed sydney star so Yeah, the story was
probably reported in the rumor report, and y'all probably went crazy.
Speaker 6 (01:37:20):
No, they actually interviewed Sidney.
Speaker 5 (01:37:22):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:37:23):
Okay, my bad, y'all. I'm sorry. So what happened?
Speaker 7 (01:37:26):
Why would you not call Chingy? And you already know
he's just right there. Why would you not call him
and be like, hey, give your side of the story?
Why would you ever let Sidney come up here and
say that?
Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
First of all, I don't know Chingy. I don't have
a relationship with Chingy. You don't know Sidney either.
Speaker 6 (01:37:39):
Second of all, I don't do the rumors.
Speaker 4 (01:37:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:37:41):
But it was an interview.
Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
You did interviews.
Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Yeah, she did the interview and they asked a question
and she said what she said. I don't even remember.
Speaker 20 (01:37:47):
Do you feel like, though, whenever you interview a person,
there is two sides to a story. Do you always
have to reach out? Especially, I mean, maybe because the
situation is so sensitive.
Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
I mean, I try.
Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
I mean, we do try.
Speaker 9 (01:37:56):
Like, if we're interviewing somebody or we know we're interviewing
somebody and you know it's something a little, you know,
funny that we can ask a question, but like, hey,
it's this side.
Speaker 3 (01:38:03):
For man to man, you could have been like, yo,
for real, like.
Speaker 6 (01:38:05):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
And when you interviewed Sydney, even though I wasn't there,
did it still feel like four people was in the room?
Speaker 2 (01:38:10):
All right, that's the latest we learned. Who's it brought
you by?
Speaker 14 (01:38:12):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
It's brought to you. Come on, who's it brought to
you by? I'm not supposed to say that one.
Speaker 8 (01:38:17):
Focus.
Speaker 20 (01:38:17):
Top Dog Law has won over a billion dollars for
their clients. That's who it's brought to you by. Now,
if you guys get into an accident, make the call.
Top Dog Law, their bark is their bite. That's who
Chingy should have called Top Dog Law.
Speaker 2 (01:38:29):

got a positive note? I do.
Speaker 1 (01:40:31):
Remember, I was talking to you all about the amazing
book from N-Words to Gods, right? It's by Akil. You know,
read it when I was younger. I read it every
now and then. And I quoted a chapter out of
there during Donkey of the Day called Return to Cinder.
But I want to tell you all about another chapter.
And the chapter is Weakness Must Be Manifested. before it
can be perfected, okay? In the book, Akil says, weakness
(01:40:53):
must be manifested before it can be perfected, but can
you stand within the light of truth? Can your false
pride and shallow ego endure the exposure given by the
light of truth? Are you emotionally prepared to walk towards
perfection the light of truth. Can you really walk the
illuminated path of righteousness? Can you really withstand the process
of purification? Can you admit your weaknesses openly and show
(01:41:16):
the rest of the world your strength in overcoming your weaknesses?
Don't run from the problems that plague you. Expose them
and attack them. All of the weaknesses of your character
must be made manifested before the strengths of your character
can be made perfected.
Speaker 6 (01:41:30):
Have a great day. We'll see you tomorrow. Breakfast Club, bitches!

following tennis, the U.S. Open, of course, is happening in Queens. Francis,
is it TFO?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Tiafo.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Tiafo defeated Alex Mickelson. Now, Francois.
Speaker 9 (04:58):
He came he was down two sets and came back
and wound up winning so congratulations to him.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yes Francois that's what's up I have no idea what
y'all talking about tennis and Ben Shelton.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Francis is the brother he's the black one he's the
brother that gets busy.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah so Francis and Francois.
Speaker 9 (05:17):
Yeah Francis is he got busy so congratulations to him what's.
Speaker 11 (05:20):
Up Mimi Good morning, Envy. Jess Charlemagne, how y'all doing
this morning?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Hey, Mimi. Good morning.
Speaker 12 (05:27):
So we start this morning with newly released 9-11 records
that are raising serious concerns about what New York City
officials knew about.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
The air on the ground at Ground Zero.
Speaker 12 (05:37):
And the city just released thousands of pages of documents
from the days and months after the attack. And some
of those records show officials were already worried about dangerous
chemicals in the air and even the possibility of lawsuits
against over people being exposed. But at the same time, residents,
first responders, and cleanup workers were being told the air
was safe to breathe.
Speaker 11 (05:58):
Now, that's the issue.
Speaker 12 (06:00):
People were going into lower Manhattan, working around the site,
cleaning up debris, breathing in that air without knowing the
full extent of the concerns being discussed inside the government.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
Let's listen to Mayor Mondani.
Speaker 13 (06:13):
As we mark 25 years, it is time for this
painful chapter again.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
To end.
Speaker 13 (06:18):
City Hall has made a more than $ 34 million commitment
to create a new public portal providing information about our
city's response to the horrific attack. This will be a
vast resource with hundreds of thousands of pages of documents
from numerous city agencies, including sought-after records like the Harding memo,
the 68 DEP boxes discovered a few years ago, and
(06:42):
information about Seven World Trade Center. These are documents that
show what the city knew about the toxic air around
Ground Zero, when they knew it, and how they acted
to limit liability. The 170,000 pages posted today are only
the first release. More will be shared over the next
12 months.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (07:03):
So New York City now says that more people have
died from 9-11-related illnesses that died from 9-11 itself. And
nearly 3,000 people died in those attacks. And one more
9-11 note really quickly. New York Mayor Mondani, he was
supposed to attend Friday's Remembrance Ceremony. Well, he will be
(07:27):
there despite a petition signed by more than 100,000 people
asking him to stay away. Now, some 9-11 families, they
are upset because his top lawyer previously represented a convicted
al-Qaeda murderer member. Mondani says he will be there Friday, though,
to honor those victims and the first responders.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Question, why did they release those files now to me?
I mean, they've been covering it up for 25 years.
I'm sure it was financial reasons. I mean, that's what
the document said. They were trying to. you know, keep
themselves from being financially liable. But why, 25 years later,
it just took a mayor to do it? It just
took Mondani to do it?
Speaker 11 (08:03):
Well, that's what he said. He said he thought it
was just time.
Speaker 12 (08:06):
He said the previous administrations, people in his position, they
had all kind of, you know, known about this, but
no one did anything. And he felt that transparency was
very important and he wanted to be that for the people.
Speaker 11 (08:18):
And so he is releasing the documents.
Speaker 12 (08:20):
It's on a portal and people can go and look
for themselves.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
I was going to ask maybe, Can the city be
sued now or is the time too late for it now?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
No.
Speaker 9 (08:31):
If you listen to the news or you watch the news,
they have all these law firms that tell you if
you've been affected by 9-11, you know, breathing or whatever,
or your family, they have a fund where they give
money to people.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I thought maybe the time has expired when you cancel.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
I'm sure the civil suit's about to start flying.
Speaker 14 (08:46):
Yep.
Speaker 11 (08:47):
They are.
Speaker 12 (08:47):
It's in my research, I found that city officials, they
also acknowledge that these records could lead to more lawsuits.
Speaker 11 (08:55):
Like they are acknowledging that.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
So that is very well expected to come.
Speaker 11 (09:00):
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they just settled two already.
Speaker 12 (09:03):
And so they said, you know, here by releasing this information,
we understand that this is going to lead.
Speaker 11 (09:09):
To more lawsuits.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
So.
Speaker 12 (09:10):
And especially if you heard at the end of what
he said, he said, we expect to release more documents.
Speaker 11 (09:15):
So this is not even all of what we're going
to get. All right. Well, that is the first hour.
In the second hour, we are going to.
Speaker 12 (09:24):
You guys remember when you could walk all the way
up to the gate and walk someone to the airport,
dropping them off or.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
A loved one?
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Yeah, me and my wife were just talking about that.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
You used to be able to walk somebody to the gate?
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:34):
Well, I don't remember that. Well, flying back then, you
didn't really fly too often. So when somebody flew, it
was a big thing. So I remember my mom would
fly for business. And my dad, me and my dad
would go to the gate and actually meet her with
balloons and cards because you didn't really fly like that.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
My wife was talking about that because she was flying
when she was like six years old. And that's what
used to happen. Her grandma used to meet her at
the gate.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I did not know that.
Speaker 11 (09:56):
Well, some good news, sort of.
Speaker 12 (09:58):
It's making a comeback with is a catch so we'll
explain that though in the next hour.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Alright everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 it's the.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Breakfast Club good morning.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
This is your time to get it off your chest
800-585-1051 we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Hello, who's this?

Speaker 6 (10:21):
Peace, Leonard from Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What's up, brother? Get it off your chest.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Yo, bro. I'm a first-time caller. I'm 55 years old, bro.
I have a two-year-old daughter, and my baby mother just
left both of us.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, it's good to know your penis still works at 55, sir.
At 53, it was still working.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
That's the three. Look at the bright side of things.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Yo, Charlemagne, that's you.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yo, my jump balls still work, Cat Daddy.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Cat Daddy jump ball.
Speaker 15 (10:47):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That's right. So, question, are you an active dad or,
you know, are you a.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
He has no choice.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
She left him no meaning. Like, can he run around
and jump or is he running around?
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Nah, I've been in her life since day one, bro. Nice.
Speaker 14 (11:00):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I moved him.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
I moved him to Jersey. Okay. And she left us.
I got a... Yo, bro, I'm back to my pills, man.
I don't know what to do. How old was your
baby mother, brother? That's my fault, bro. My baby mother
was 29 years old, bro.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 16 (11:23):
Yeah, I tried to.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Give her something she wasn't used to. A family, you
know what I'm saying? A stable house.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
So you got her pregnant at 27.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
When did you meet her?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
I met her when she was 27, bro.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh, so it was a one-night stand? Straight up, no condom, nothing.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Nah, it wasn't a one-night stand. We was dealing with
each other for months. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
It is when you was 53?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And what did you learn?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
She was 27.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Yeah, bro, I was 53, bro. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Where did she go?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
She told me she wanted a family. She never had
a family, so I gave it to her. I supported
her in everything she did, and she let us do
it on the internet and left.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Any reason to hit Raw. She said she wanted a family.
And I wanted to give her one.
Speaker 14 (12:10):
I'm 53.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I don't like using condoms in no way.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Right.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
It's too hot to wear condoms in the summertime at
my age.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And she has my age.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Where's she at?
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Yo.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
She's in Manhattan, bro. She live in Manhattan.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Well, I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
My brother.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
She's enjoying her little young ass life.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Yeah, I'm going to tell you that. That's what I agree.
I agree with Jess.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She's enjoying her little young ass life, and that's what
you get for sleeping with that young ass.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I'm going to let her.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
I'm going to let her enjoy her life, bro. You
know what I'm saying? But she don't get to walk
out of me and my daughter's life and keep coming
back and forth. She don't get that, bro.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That's what happens when you're in your 20s, though.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
She'll grow up when she's 30-something. That's what you get.
You knew better than to put your pee-pee in that
little young-ass girl.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I did, bro.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I did.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Now I'm back to my bills. I owe $ 5, 500 in
back rent. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Like.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
I don't know how to raise a little.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Girl, bro.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well, should have thought about that before you hit that
little 27-year-old role.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You ain't a young kid, brother. You a grown-ass man.
You know what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
You know, right.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
You don't know how to raise a little girl.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I can't feel sorry for you. You're 55 years old.
You know what you was doing. If you was 30, 20,
I might feel sorry for you. But you're 55, brother.
You should have known.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
I had no kids. I have no kids, bro. This
is the first one.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, you got one now.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Apparently, you wanted it, too. Don't say that I gave
her what she wanted.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I really did. I really did.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I wanted a family, bro.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
She had you feeling young and frisky.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
And now, look. Go do some Pilates, man.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Make sure. Go do some Pilates.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Put a heating pad on that back and, you know,
get ready to raise that little girl.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, that's right. Learn how to do hair.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
Because she's going to need you.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
You figure it out, brother.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
She's going to need you.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Yeah, I have no choice but to figure this out, man.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Good luck. We're rooting for you, black man. We're rooting

Speaker 14 (16:41):
So it's just, you know, like, okay. So if you
check his website out, it's just different, like, motivational things, scriptures,
and things like that. So he grew up in a church.
He's been in a church for his whole life. He's
18 now. So this is something that he thought would
be his first venture as an entrepreneur.

Speaker 10 (17:32):
Down It's really, really good.
Speaker 14 (17:35):

a genius.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Very affordable, too.
Speaker 10 (17:45):

Speaker 14 (17:58):
Yay!
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Yeah, I'm going to purchase one.
Speaker 14 (18:00):
And then I had one more thing for you guys,
because I'm a marketing analyst, and I was thinking that
you guys could do a residency at.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
A college and teach. I think there was another person
who did it. But you guys can all take a
turn and do a residency at different colleges, and it
will be well attended, and it will be fun. And
then I know, Charlamagne, you talk about having.
Speaker 14 (18:21):
A general equivalency diploma, so it would be, like, really
great for you to be.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
Able to Teach at a school.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Oh, that's what's up.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I have my hand raised. I don't have a GED.
I graduated in night school. I have a diploma.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I'm sorry. I don't have a GED.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I never thought he had one of those.
Speaker 14 (18:40):
I apologize.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
I apologize. I know you have an honorary doctorate, right?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, from South Carolina State. I am actually about to
start a residency at a college, but I'll announce that later.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Salute to Monroe College in the Bronx. I was actually
trying to do that.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
I was actually taught a couple of classes, but I
just didn't have... It's hard to really... Because you got
to teach for what? It's 14 or 16 weeks, I
think it is. That's the curriculum. And it was hard
to actually... say that I could be there every week
and they wanted me to say, well, they wanted me
to say, well, why don't you do it on Zoom?
But I feel like you have to be in person.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I want to be there.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I am going to be there when I do it.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Like that's Monday through Friday every day?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No, no, no.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Once a week.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Well, mine was once a week. I don't know what
y'all names, what his thing is, but we were still
trying to get it together. So salute to Monroe College
and everybody over there. We're still trying to make that work.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But thank you for calling, Mama.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Oh, wait.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
I have one more thing.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 14 (19:33):
So when I was in school, they would have people
come for like a week or two weeks and it
would say like, I can't remember whatever professor. So that's
something you could do too.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
That's not the whole, and then.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
You all can do like a chunk. So it's not
for the whole eight or 10 weeks.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Well, you know what I mean?
Speaker 17 (19:50):

What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 20 (20:05):
We're going to be talking about late night TV again
because there is a huge shakeup that may be going down.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
We're going to discuss what it is.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Ain't no maybe.
Speaker 20 (20:12):
Well, we'll talk about it because there's networks that are
pushing back on some of the news that broke yesterday
about this major shakeup.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
So we'll see what's happening.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
All right, we'll get to that next.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What, what, what, what
you want to know? The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Speaker 17 (20:25):
Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
the black radio.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
That source is trusted. Did you hear that exclusive?
Speaker 20 (20:31):
Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everything.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
She be having the latest on things.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
You ask the questions that need to be answered.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
On The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Little brown girls look at you and go, I want
to be like you. LL Cool Bay, talk to me. So,
good morning, guys.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Peace, LL Cool Bay.
Speaker 20 (20:49):
So there are reports right now that Jimmy Kimmel, this
may be his last season on air after being on
air for 24 years. Now, these reports, page six was
the first to report it, are based off of a
person that they say that they spoke to who says that.
Jimmy Kimmel's contract after May 2027 will not move forward anymore,
will not be renewed. Now, a spokesperson from ABC has
(21:10):
come out to page six to TMZ to a few
people and says that these reports are inaccurate, that any
reporting about the future of the show at this point
are purely speculative and that they have they have no
idea where this stuff is coming from. TMZ's report talks
about them speaking to a person that says that at
this time, Kimmel is actively pitching podcasts and other shows
(21:32):
in other places. And basically set himself up for May
2027 to be the end of us seeing him on air,
how we know him to be on air with the
Jimmy Kimmel show.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He done made so much money. He done made so much.
24 years, he done made so much money. He's got
a huge audience. He can write his own check.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
At this point.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
You know, but I'm curious about if it's true or not,
because I just Googled and I don't know if Google's
right or not. But it said that he averaged 3.1
million total viewers since 2026. And they said that's his
highest monthly average in 23 years.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So I guess they're saying the show is still doing amazing.
They're still getting viewership.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
So I'm just wondering what the cost level, because if
people are watching and if it's the highest in 23 years,
I'm just wondering what would make him take it down
or take it off, I should say.
Speaker 20 (22:14):
I feel like when people saw this yesterday, the first
thing you thought about was all the back and forth
that he's had with the Trump administration. And even yesterday,
he opened up his new season and his monologue was
about like, because he had been on hiatus. His monologue
was about like the crazy summer that Trump, had and
like all the things that the administration did that were
just like outlandish or whatever.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
So I think most people attribute or would think it's that.
Speaker 20 (22:33):
But I know there's been so much conversation about these
talk shows and how they're set.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Up and the money and the landscape changing.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Them shows cost so much to produce.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Now you can just do a talk show for a
quarter of the budget you probably paying for these late
night talk shows.
Speaker 19 (22:49):
Come on.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Cat Williams show on the way.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
On Netflix a lot right at this point.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Y'all gonna be watching that more than y'all ever watched
any of them late night talk shows in years god.
Speaker 20 (22:58):
Damn right I think now just I mean first of
all more than you've watched the way that people watch
late night shows or TV is just different anyway like
even with Kimmel like I watch him via YouTube and
most of the time I just watch the monologues unless
he has a guest I want to see the world
has changed man yeah So we'll see what happens there.
We'll keep you guys updated. Now, shifting gears a bit,
talk about updates. So yesterday, we talked a bit in
(23:21):
our Netflix Overtalk portion of the latest with Lauren LaRosa.
About 50 Cent and Mark Curry. 50 Cent won an
Emmy for the Diddy doc that he did, right?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Snoop Da 5.
Speaker 20 (23:31):
Yeah, a lot of people were like, oh, why did
he do it, whatever, but they won an Emmy for it.
After he won an Emmy, Mark Curry, who, you know,
formerly worked with Diddy, came out and said he was
done wrong when it came to money. Now, there's been
a bit more of a back and forth, but I
want to play the original audio of Mark Curry complaining
about what did not happen for him after being promised
things by 50 Cent so we can get to it.
Let's take a listen to Mark Curry's original complaints.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
When we first did this documentary, I was supposed to
get a production credit.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
And the production credit... You're good, you're good.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Brad, you're fine.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Even if the documentary was sold, I would be grandfathered
into the deal. I saw where Shiki was like, the
proceeds were going to go towards the victims.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I haven't seen that yet.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
You talk about a deal with Puff, this is a
worse deal than... The worst deal, I see them now
getting nominated for an Emmy. So it's like, and then
you're not doing anything to reach back for the ones
who are the actual victims or the one who suffered.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
It's been rough.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
After the documentary, I thought that things, you know, that
was going to be like a change. For an example,
when we spoke about Come With Me, the Godzilla song
on the documentary, they have this thing called- First.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Of all, the comedian Mark Curry, apologies to you because
Netflix put his picture up, okay?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, they put the wrong Mark Curry.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
That is Mark Curry. It's not the Mark Curry we're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, the reason I don't even want to hear this
audio is because if you keep getting got by people,
it's you.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Okay? If you keep signing bad contracts and bad deals,
it's you. You don't get, you know, what you're supposed
to get. You get what you negotiate.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
So maybe you need a better agent or a better
manager or a better lawyer or somebody.
Speaker 20 (25:12):
So you don't want to hear his additional complaints because
now he mad at y'all for saying that to him.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Mark Curry.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yes, I want to hear it. He was fine with that.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I ain't even say nothing, Mark.
Speaker 20 (25:18):
So what we just played was him talking about he
only got $ 69 in old production credit.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
That was originally. And then 50 Cent came out and said,
what's your cash app?
Speaker 20 (25:25):
Is it dollar sign? Did he touch your butt? So
now Mark Curry has responded because he's seeing y'all say
that he's dumb and he's not doing good deals.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I didn't say he was dumb.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
I did not say that.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You might have said it. And a lot of words
you said that.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Maybe I did.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think you did say he was dumb. Let's take
a listen to the show.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
For people who really think that I'm stupid enough to not.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Have a contract or a lawyer look over paperwork, I
put the whole contract.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
It's on my page here. If you don't say something,
you're a sucker.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Being that I'm not a sucker, I'm going to speak
up for mine. I'm going to say what I've got
to say. I don't care who don't like it. I'm
not going to sit here and joke about, did he
touch your butt? Because we do know whose butt Diddy
did touch. We do know a documentary was produced all
behind touching butts. And I'm talking to you about real
serious is business when i first did this it said
that i would have a production credit so when we
(26:17):
all sitting back having the celebration party let's not forget
about the people that really actually put this thing together
with you i ain't gonna say i put it all
together but i put them i did a majority of
it i'm talking about more than 40 of it only
thing i wanted was my production credit You think.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
I'm asking you for something.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
I'm not asking you for something.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I'm just trying to say you owe me a favor.
And the way that you can repay this favor is
by helping me do a documentary. If you don't want
to help me do the documentary, just introduce me to
somebody who could possibly help me do the documentary.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I don't understand nothing he just said. Because if he
has a contract that says he should have got a
production credit, then he should get his production credit. You
wouldn't be on the internet venting if your contract actually
said that.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
You don't have to vent. Yeah, you don't have to
vent online. If you have it on contract, you shouldn't
have to say anything. You would be taking him to court.
You don't have to go online. You don't have to
make threats. You don't have to say you only got $ 69.
You don't have to say anything about Diddy touching anybody's butt.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And saying you got $ 69 from a Diddy doc is
just crazy.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
You can pick another number, Mark.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Oh!
Speaker 6 (27:17):
You could have said $ 70. You know what I'm saying?
I would have rounded that up just because. I would
have thought about the situation.
Speaker 20 (27:21):
But him talking about Diddy Touch Your Butt and then
being like, I'm trying to do serious business. That was crazy, too. Like,
you can't talk about Diddy Touch Your Butt and then
say you're having a serious conversation.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I'm not saying Mark Curry is dumb.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
All I'm simply saying is if you keep getting got
in business, you need to look in the mirror.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Not only that, but if you have the right paperwork,
you shouldn't have to be online. Your lawyer should be
on top of it right now.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Stop saying the same thing I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Y'all always do that. Y'all are definitely a couple. Y'all
do that all the time.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Y'all finish each other's sentences and repeat what each other
just said.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Girl, do you hear them? They didn't even push back
when I was like, definitely a couple. Y'all be doing
all the lovey-dovey.
Speaker 20 (27:57):
It was actually very simple.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I had an attorney look at it as well, too.
I mean, it was. It was in the midst of
the heat. It was too damn simple. See y'all in Vegas.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Congratulations to 56. Honestly, never mind.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
That was the latest for the hour.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Now she's thinking about it. She's like, damn, I actually.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Didn't read that.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
My contract wouldn't even offer the credit.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Now, when we come back, we come back to Front
Page News. And then Sherri Shepherd will be joining us
at the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 9 (28:39):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front
Page News. The NFL is back. That's right.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
The Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks tonight at 820.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
You can watch the game on NBC and Peacock. Now, also,
if you've been following tennis.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
That's a rematch of the Super Bowl. First game of
the season.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Also, if you've been following tennis, it's been pretty good.
Ben Shelton will be taking on Francis.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I said Tiafoe. Tiafoe. You know he's from Merlin.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Respectfully, football season is back. We don't got to act
like we care about tennis no more, man. All right.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I definitely get my Francois and Francis.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Respectfully to all the tennis players out there. It's Francis.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Some people call him Francis. Some people call him Francois.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
He playing against himself today.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
What's up, Mimi?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
How y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Good.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Good morning.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
So we start this hour. We're going to talk about
the Lindsay Clancy case.
Speaker 11 (29:37):
Have you guys been following this?
Speaker 8 (29:39):
No.
Speaker 19 (29:40):
Closely.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
A little bit.
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Yes, a little bit. Not too much.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
So her trial ended last week in a mistrial after
the jury.
Speaker 11 (29:49):
They deadlocked 11 to 1. There was one holdout.
Speaker 12 (29:51):
But now that case is shining a light on another
case out of Massachusetts involving a black mother whose story
got far less national attention. So two mothers, they admitted
to killing their children. Both said that they had severe
mental illness. They said that was the reason. But their
juries were allowed to hear two very different stories. So
(30:12):
Latarsha Sanders, she was convicted of killing her eight and
five-year-old sons and sentenced to two life sentences without the
possibility of parole. Now, her jury was not allowed to
see thousands of pages of mental health records showing that
she suffered from paranoia and schizophrenia. Now, compare that to
the Lindsay Clancy case, the white mother who admitted to
(30:33):
killing her three young children, ages five, three, and just
eight months old.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
Now, Clancy's jury.
Speaker 12 (30:39):
They heard weeks of testimony about her mental health, her
defense and how she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Now,
these two women, they have the same judge, the same
prosecutor's office. And Clancy's case, as we know, dominated the headlines,
whereas Sanders' case received far less attention. Legal expert Monique Presley,
(31:00):
she says these cases are highlighting a bigger issue. The
mental health of black women is often overlooked, including in
the criminal justice system.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
Let's listen.
Speaker 21 (31:09):
What's supposed to happen is whether it's a white woman
or a black woman, that illness is supposed to be
taken seriously. It's that when it's black women, we are
viewed as supposed to be so strong that we can
endure things like twice the size of a man. And
if it's a white woman, she's a delicate flower. We
(31:31):
both are fragile. We both experienced postpartum depression. We know
the statistics on Black women not being listened to.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, because in the Clancy case, he was about to
be found not guilty by way of insanity.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Insanity.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12 (31:50):
Now, Massachusetts Highest Court now says that Sanders, her mental
health records should have been allowed and two, her convictions
have been thrown out and she will be getting a
new trial.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
So....
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And even in the case of Lindsey Clancy, she didn't
deny the killings, right? They just were saying she's someone
from postpartum psychosis.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Which is crazy, though, because her kids were older, right?
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Clancy's children? No, they were, what, five, three, and eight
months old.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Five?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
You still get postpartum psychosis?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
But the eight-month-old.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Oh, the eight-month-old.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Eight months.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
But she killed all three of them.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Right.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Postpartum.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
Yeah. So we will continue to watch that story.
Speaker 12 (32:30):
And switching gears here, if you've ever walked someone or
wanted to walk someone all the way down to their
gate to say goodbye, you can do that again. But
there is a catch. You have to have TSA precheck.
So TSA, they launched this new program. It's called Gateside Precheck.
It allows pre-check members to go through the airport even
if you are not flying. So that means you can
(32:51):
walk your family down to their flight, meet someone during
a layover, or even go inside the terminal just to
shop or to eat.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
But to do it, you must apply.
Speaker 12 (32:59):
Online a day to three days earlier for your visit
using your TSA number. If you're approved, you will get
a free gateside pass. You still need your ID, of course,
to go through security, but You get to go and
meet your loved one, walk with your loved one, like
back in the olden days. Right now, though, it's only
being tested in 13 airports, including LAX, Las Vegas, Dallas,
(33:22):
Fort Worth, and San Diego. And they hope to expand
into others. But a little nostalgia there.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
But why are they doing it, though?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
So you can walk your parents or walk your kids?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Your kids, probably more kids.
Speaker 8 (33:34):
Why?
Speaker 12 (33:36):
The Trump administration is loosening some of the 9-11 restrictions.
And so that's one of them that they're trying to
slowly pull back on.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Why would you loosen restrictions at a time like this?
You look around the world and you see all the
war going on. You see how radicalized people are. Why
would you loosen restrictions at a time like this?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
I remember my mom flying, and it was a big
thing because we usually didn't fly. So me and my
dad would go to the gate to pick her up.
But with everything going on, like Charlamagne said, in this world,
not only that, the lines at TSA be crazy. So
now what does that do for people not flying? Those
lines are going to be even longer.
Speaker 12 (34:11):
That is a really great point. I did not think
about that, but you're absolutely right. That will increase the
wait times for people who actually have a flight to catch, right?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Right, because they still got to go through TSA. They
still got to, you know. But what will they show
if they don't have a boarding pass? Because you got
to scan through.
Speaker 12 (34:27):
Well, you'll get that pass, that gateway pass, and then
you have to show your ID that, you know, and
you have to apply a day to three days earlier
showing what you.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
Want to do and why you want to go back
through TSA.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
So, yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 12 (34:40):
Well, that is your front page news. Looks like we
are out of time. We'll have to save our last
story for tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Well, thank you, Mimi.
Speaker 11 (34:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (34:48):
Now, when we come back, Sherri Shepherd will be joining us.
Of course, this is the 25th anniversary of 9-11. She
has a new film called Angel in the Rubble, the
Janelle Guzman story.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Guzman story. about a young lady who.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
Was a Port Authority worker, and she was trapped under
the rubble for 27 hours. We'll tell you all about that.
And also, she's going to be the first woman to
play the genie in Aladdin on Broadway.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
So we'll talk to Sherri Shepherd when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 19 (35:13):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 9 (35:14):
It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are
The Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRose is here as well. We
got a special guest in the building.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Yes, indeed. She came in like the Terminator.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Black leather jacket, shades on.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Looking good.
Speaker 14 (35:27):
Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
When you don't have a job, you got to elevate.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
All right.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
That's what I'm talking about. Ladies and gentlemen, Sherri Shepherd.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Hey, boo.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
You've been outside, though.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I've been seeing you everywhere. I've been seeing you with
your son. I've seen you at premieres.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
We've seen you at Essence. You've been outside, though.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
No, no.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Here's the thing. When you get let go from your job.
Speaker 20 (35:45):
You got to be out there in the streets because
you got to show people, I'm here, I look good,
I'm employable.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
But you never stopped hustling.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
You always did stand-up.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I'm always hustling, yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
You're always in a movie or something. Like, what are
you talking about?
Speaker 20 (35:56):
Always had several jobs. But that's why, because I hustle.
I'm always, you know, I never stay in one job
and sit in complacency. I'm always looking at the next thing.
I think that's how we have to do as brown folks.
You always have to look at what's next. You know,
so I'm always on my team. Don't get complacent just
because I'm going on call and going, hey, family, because
that stuff could be pulled out from under you in
(36:17):
a minute. Do you ever get to the point, though, where,
because I feel like when I think like that, it
gives me like an anxiety feeling.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Like, when do you ever just enjoy what you're doing?
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I do.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 20 (36:28):
I'm always present. Like, I love what I do. You know,
you get disappointed. Of course, you know, when they took
the show, I was devastated. And you did call me, Lauren.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I was like, oh!
Speaker 22 (36:38):
I was like, wait a minute, is this on the record?
Speaker 20 (36:49):
And she was like, she said no. And, and, and
you did, and you didn't say anything, but you know, you, you,
you're present.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You have a good time. But when it's over, I
don't sit in it. I go, what is next?
Speaker 20 (37:00):
And probably it's because I'm a mother, too, because I
got to pay for all of this stuff for my child.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
I got to pay child support.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
I got to.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
So it's those kind of things coming in my head.
Speaker 8 (37:09):
I'm just.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
I'm used to working.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
What do you miss the most about it?
Speaker 20 (37:13):
You know, being able to give a platform to people
who would not be able to have a platform. Being
able to have the power to say, you can come
on my show. Even when I got pushback. Jane Kennedy
was trying to write a book and nobody would give
her a book deal. And I said, John Murray said
to me, you should say something. And I was able
to say, y'all know Jane Kennedy. Those who know, know.
(37:33):
She need to write a book. Y'all, somebody give her
a book deal. And she got a book deal. And
she credits me with doing that. So being able to
do that, have Kiki Shepard on the show from Showtime
at the Apollo to give her her flowers. You know,
when I hear something, when a scandal goes on, to
be able to call and say, would you come on?
Speaker 3 (37:50):
And I'm going to do it with love.
Speaker 20 (37:52):
So being able to meet people and, you know, folks
that I think are icons, that's what I miss. When
you came back and did your episode where you, like,
addressed us and let us know, like, how you were feeling,
it was really emotional for you.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
It was.
Speaker 20 (38:05):
You know, I mean, we talked, but people were, like,
really upset for you. Like, they felt like you just
deserve to be able to, like, let us know, like,
your people on your own.
Speaker 12 (38:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (38:15):
I think that, you know, it was one girl at Essence.
She was like, I just want to fight somebody.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I just want to fight.
Speaker 20 (38:19):
Here's the thing with the difference between me and Jimmy Kimmel.
Black folks, they will ride for you. But if you say,
go ahead and strike and don't watch the network, they like,
wait a minute, reasonable doubt.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
It's on this network. You know, wait a minute, beauty
and black. I can't be, you know, they ain't going
to cut off all their stuff.
Speaker 20 (38:40):
But I think that people consider me You know I'm
a celebrity. You know I'm in a certain financial level.
But I think people knew I was real. That I
was sitting there. That I was your sister. I was
your cousin. I was your auntie. They knew they would
get real from me. And I think that that's what
they related to me. And I made a heart connection.
Speaker 9 (38:57):
How difficult was it for, as a mom, because you
have a child, you just said you put him in college.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Don't make me say it.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I've seen y'all on the train with each other.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (39:05):
So how difficult was that, not being there and doing
the show and.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
All of that?
Speaker 20 (39:09):
You have to, this is why it was harder for
Kelly Clarkson, I think. When you have small children and
it's just you doing a talk show, it's very, very difficult.
Jeffrey was, when I got that Sherry show, he was
17 years old.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Going on AT.
Speaker 20 (39:22):
I was able to leave him at home by himself,
you know, because he's on, you know, he had his
unique challenges. So I was able to, I didn't have
to worry about him too much but when you're doing
it all yourself I would get there early in the
morning I would leave I would be the one to
turn off the lights at night time So it's hard
to have two little toddlers and then your ex-husband dies
(39:43):
and then you're doing another show. It was very hard
on Kelly Clarkson, which is one of the reasons why
she ended her show. Her family was more important. As
your kids get older, it's a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
And you do need help.
Speaker 11 (39:52):
I had nanny.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I had nannies helping me with Jeffrey. You just do.
Speaker 20 (39:56):
I couldn't put him in daycare. So it got easier
because he was older. That was the time was right.
Talk about changing up just like your content preferences, because
I remember one time reaching out about a story I
had broken.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
And John was like, you know, we love you. We
support you.
Speaker 20 (40:09):
But we try to keep things a lot more light
and positive, which was so different for that time space.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Yeah, because, you know, Wendy would get into her thing.
Speaker 12 (40:16):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Did you get pushed back from the network for trying
to do that as well?
Speaker 8 (40:18):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Daytime is like.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
Absolutely.
Speaker 20 (40:20):
You know, it's like because they were used to dealing
with with Wendy. So it was a lot of why
don't you do this?
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Because it'll go.
Speaker 20 (40:26):
We need viral moments. But also, I also have to
consider I'm an actress. I still have to work beyond this. Again,
that was where I was like, you know, I would
like this thing to last 9, 10, 15 years. But
in all probability, it probably won't. And I still have
to have a career beyond this. So what it look
like if I'm sitting in a chair and I'm just
(40:48):
use you, Charlamagne, and I'm doing a scoop on you.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
And I'm talking about you.
Speaker 20 (40:52):
And now the show in and you got a big
blockbuster movie that I want to audition for.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Now I don't know why I'm not working. I don't
know why I'm not going in auditions because Hollywood didn't
close up on me. That is what I do. I
am an actress.
Speaker 20 (41:04):
So I always had to consider, you know, what I
was going to say about people, how I could do
it in a light way, how I could do it
funny and with love. Because I don't want to go
somewhere and I'm too, you know, at this age, I
don't want somebody coming up to me going, I don't
like what you said about me because I don't remember
what I said.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
But it's still your opinion.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
But it's still my opinion. But also, let me tell
you something.
Speaker 20 (41:25):
Actors, entertainers, we all have very long memories. Somebody could
have said, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
This, Jess.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Jess knows this.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Jess knows this. I've seen it. It's like I'm sitting
there looking at the person going, Jess don't remember what
she said. We're comics. That's what we do.
Speaker 20 (41:41):
But people have long memories and they will hold that
against you for the next 30 something years.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
And you have moved on with your life.
Speaker 20 (41:49):
I have said things which I thought was in love
because I literally would sit with Norman Baker and Brittany
and the.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Folks who helped me.
Speaker 20 (41:56):
Craft my stuff and I go we gotta be tender
here and I thought I was tender and that's the
problem with doing stand up I come out and say
something and they be like so and so wanna talk
to you and I'm like damn what and literally I
have had phone calls from celebrities going i saw what
you did i who would tell me they love the
show until i said something and they would call me
(42:18):
and go i don't like what you said and then
i'd have to be like explaining you know what i'm
just a comic and and they'd want to even one
celebrity was like call me and if you're gonna talk
about me just let me know i.
Speaker 16 (42:30):
Ain't got that much time right you got five minutes
to craft a story and it's not that big of
a deal to me but but the person was like
you know if you just.
Speaker 20 (42:41):
Talk to me we could do a whole thing about
and i go that ain't funny yeah and trying to
explain myself it was really i was it was happening
and i was just like i can't do this and
one time i remember i called a celebrity because i
was going to talk about her mother So I said,
let me call and let her know. I'm going to
talk about your mama. And she said, okay, what are
you going to say? So I told her the jokes.
(43:01):
And she said, okay, well, I don't think that's true
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
And I go, but I'm a comic. So I'm kind
of embellishing. Now, meanwhile, they're going three minutes, three minutes.
Speaker 20 (43:09):
And she goes, okay, so tell me everything you're going
to say again. And I was like, okay, I don't have...
time to do it and she said well let me
call her and I said okay I just got and
I said it and everything was fine but I said
I can't go through this was she a friend or
something though no it was somebody that I would see
a lot it was somebody that I would see a
lot always so I was just like I'm.
Speaker 9 (43:26):
Gonna talk about you how many times have you had
to apologize to somebody oh my god.
Speaker 20 (43:32):
I never want anybody to feel badly from something that
I say so I would but I would try to
explain and that wears on you it really does which one.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Person you apologized to that y'all made up from there.
Speaker 20 (43:43):
No, I'm not going to tell because then they're going
to be calling me again. So I'm just saying I
did get those phone calls when I would, just in
fun and just in a loving way.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
And let me tell you, everybody who's called me, we've
all made up. We're all good.
Speaker 20 (43:57):
But that's another thing I didn't want to go like
be an essence and run into somebody. And now you
going off on me and I don't know what you're
going off about. Cause I don't care no more.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
So we've everybody, we're all good.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
You said you talked about the near long situation.
Speaker 8 (44:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
We ain't running to each other.
Speaker 5 (44:13):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
We've never, we've never apologized. I didn't say nothing wrong. Oh,
like that happened so long ago. I don't even remember.
Speaker 20 (44:21):
She ain't thinking about me. I'm not thinking about her.
And now again, it becomes viral. This is, you know,
so that's why I say entertainers have very long memories
because people keep, will ask. So no, I haven't, but
she's in LA at some point we will run into
each other.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
And what I'm going to say is we need to talk.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
We're grown.
Speaker 20 (44:41):
Let's just talk. And so that we can both come
in and say, hi, me and Kenya Moore made up.
We were both on watch what happens live. And we
couldn't stand each other. We couldn't stand.
Speaker 8 (44:50):
Really?
Speaker 20 (44:51):
Yeah, because it was just bad between us. The chemistry
was not good. Shady Boots, Andy Cohen was in there
stirring stuff up. And then she said something on G's
Twitter and I said something back.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
But we started at a Broadway show and it was like,
we're grown. Why are we doing this? We're very, very
cool now.
Speaker 6 (45:10):
Speaking of Broadway, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
What a segue. The first woman to play the genie
in any Disney produced Aladdin in the world. In the world.
Speaker 6 (45:20):
I can't even believe it.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
I've been starting.
Speaker 20 (45:25):
I've been taking my dance lessons and vocal lessons, and
I officially start my rehearsals next week.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
I am working seven days a week.
Speaker 6 (45:34):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Listen, so if you still had that show, would you
be able to do that? I would not have been
able to do this.
Speaker 7 (45:39):
So when you come in here, you sit down and say,
for me not to have a job. Listen, you always booked,
and I love that you are on Broadway.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
What was that like? When you're about to be on Broadway,
what was that first moment when he called you? Like,
all right, this is what he wants you to do.
Speaker 20 (45:52):
When they called me, because I had went in to
meet with the producers for the Broadway show, Ann Juliet.
Speaker 5 (45:57):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
And I was so anxiety ridden. I had taken two
singing lessons. I knew it.
Speaker 20 (46:03):
Back five years ago, I said, Sherri, take singing lessons
because something is going to happen. And I was just
too busy. So I was like taking lessons for that.
They had wanted to see me. And then they called.
They wanted to cast a woman. And they made the offer. Like,
it wasn't even I had to audition. They made the offer.
So that's why I tell people, even when I go
(46:23):
through anxiety, I go, they already know who you are.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
They know what you do. They know you're not a
professional singer.
Speaker 20 (46:30):
They know you got voted off Dancing with the Stars.
They've done their research. And they came to you and
made the offer. So, Sherri, walk in what God wrote.
Don't spit in his face.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Exactly.
Speaker 20 (46:41):
So, I'm not a professional singer, but I'm going to
be a professional singer now. So it was absolutely amazing
and it was a dream come true because I never
really told people I wanted to do Broadway. I got
to do it when I played Cinderella the Evil Stepmother
with Keke Palmer.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
We did it on Broadway. But I didn't have any solos.
I think I got three or four solos. Angel in
the Rubble. Angel and the Rebel. Very dramatic, like intensely dramatic.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
That's this Saturday. It comes out this Saturday.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
That's this Saturday on Lifetime, yeah.
Speaker 20 (47:08):
So it's the Janelle Guzman story who was one of the,
was she the first survivor?
Speaker 3 (47:12):
She was the last survivor in the 9-11 attacks.
Speaker 8 (47:15):
Wow.
Speaker 20 (47:16):
She worked at the Port Authority and she was a
Trinidadian lady.
Speaker 8 (47:20):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 20 (47:20):
And she was the last rescue, but she was buried
alive for 27 hours before she was rescued under 13
feet of concrete in the last tower that fell.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
So many stories. I don't even remember that story.
Speaker 8 (47:31):
Right.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
It's a lot of stories.
Speaker 20 (47:34):
She wrote a book because somebody put their hand through
the air hole, a firefighter named Paul. And every time
she thought she was going to die or pass out
from pain, he would say, wake up.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
They're coming. They're coming. So when they finally rescued her,
they never found this Paul person. Never. First of all,
who could put their hand through 13 feet of concrete?
So he was real. So she wrote a book. I
thought he was just an angel. Was he real? Was
he real?
Speaker 20 (47:55):
She wrote a book called Angel and the Robot because
she felt God sent an angel. Because how can you
put your hand through 13 feet of concrete?
Speaker 3 (48:02):
That's true. No, you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
How did they know she was there if she was
under 13 feet? I'm just curious.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
That's why she wrote the book.
Speaker 9 (48:09):
And how did they didn't dig it out and just say,
you know what, everybody's dead? Like, how did they know
that there was somebody still alive there?
Speaker 20 (48:14):
It was also a dog that sniffed her out. Shout
out to all the dogs. They're all, they've all passed away.
Speaker 6 (48:19):
How do you know all the dogs are dead?
Speaker 3 (48:20):
Because I went to the memorial and I saw all
of the, did you go, Charlamagne?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
No.
Speaker 6 (48:24):
Well, then why? You mean like actual professionals?
Speaker 3 (48:28):
Yes. Charlamagne, where are you at today?
Speaker 6 (48:32):
Hello, knock, knock.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
I'm like dogs.
Speaker 19 (48:35):
What is going on with you?
Speaker 6 (48:36):
How do you know I'm a dog?
Speaker 3 (48:37):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 8 (48:38):
Charlamagne.
Speaker 6 (48:39):
I'm a dog down there right now. I'm still here.
What you talking about?
Speaker 5 (48:42):
Don't kill me.
Speaker 6 (48:43):
I'm a living legend dog.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
No, they were working dogs who worked till their paws bled.
Speaker 20 (48:50):
Like if you go to the memorial, they have a
whole room of these dogs who knew they were trying
to find people. They've all passed away. People adopted them,
but they're gone now. And there was a dog that
sniffed her out.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
But exactly.
Speaker 20 (49:02):
It talked about how she found her faith in God
because she lost everybody that she worked with.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
What was the smallest detail she gave you that like
just unlocked.
Speaker 6 (49:10):
The character for you?
Speaker 20 (49:11):
I don't think it was one small detail. It was
what she was going through when she was laying there.
Because the stuff was sitting on her head. She couldn't
move her head. She couldn't move her legs. So when
you're still, all you can do is call out. If
you didn't have a God before, you call out to
him when you think you're going to die.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
She had no water.
Speaker 20 (49:30):
She was dehydrated and going through guilt, survivor's remorse. Why
am I here and my friends are not here? What
is so special about me? And now, you know, she
lives a life of joy. She tells people about her
God and, you know, she shows that you can go
through difficult circumstances.
Speaker 3 (49:48):
And come out still victorious.
Speaker 6 (49:49):
Have you ever had your own version of that?
Speaker 20 (49:51):
Yeah, I think probably when I went through that second
divorce and everybody hated my guts about, you know, and
I was.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
Like, it was like I had nothing. I couldn't get
any deals.
Speaker 20 (50:00):
I wasn't getting called for auditions like that. You know,
people I'm used to people really liking me. And when
I went through the second divorce and it was a
child involved. People assumed things about me that weren't true.
I literally was at rock bottom. And I felt like
everybody in the world hated me.
Speaker 6 (50:16):
And that was hard. So what did God say to
you in that moment?
Speaker 20 (50:19):
He told me to be quiet. So when all this
stuff was swirling about me, God said, be quiet. Just
don't say nothing. Don't, you know, you ain't got to
lash back out.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
Try to explain. I will deal with it.
Speaker 20 (50:28):
And, you know, and also I was broke, too, because
I was paying for so many attorneys, Charlamagne. This was
a case that was going on in L.A. because the
judges didn't want to release it because it was a
celebrity case. I had to fight it in New Jersey.
I had to fight it in Philadelphia. I was paying
for everybody's attorney. That divorce cost me a million dollars, $ 200, 000.
Speaker 8 (50:45):
Damn. Wow.
Speaker 3 (50:48):
It was so expensive. I was broke. And people think
because they see you on TV and they see you
in movies.
Speaker 20 (50:53):
Them movies you did a year before. Those little guest stars,
they pay very little. If your expenses are more than
your income, you broke. I was never driving around in.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
A Rolls Royce.
Speaker 3 (51:03):
I was never, you know, I was renting a house.
I lost my house. I owe the IRS. So much.
Real life.
Speaker 20 (51:11):
The day I paid off the IRS and they sent me,
it was when I had the Sherry show and they
sent me a receipt.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
It said paid in full.
Speaker 20 (51:18):
When I tell you I was on the flow crying,
I couldn't because it said paid in full.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
And I was like, thank you, Jesus.
Speaker 20 (51:25):
So people don't know that I got a job on
Soul Man because Cedric just was took pity on me
because I had no money. And Niecy was on there
and they gave me this job on Soulmate. I flew
back and forth.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
My son, they was calling me from his school every
day going, you're not here. Where are you? I'm trying
to work. I'm a single mother. I did everything except
show to sell some on the street. And that's only
because of my age. They didn't want the old. And
I'm going to tell you, it was some comics that
came and it was like, I'll help you out, but
you know what you got to do. Set it off.
(52:00):
You don't never want to be in a bind to
a comic. You can't help me just because you want
to help me. I mean, I'll help you, but them tits.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Ooh.
Speaker 3 (52:10):
Golly.
Speaker 6 (52:11):
I'm in a bind, Nate. When it was all over. Oh,
my God.
Speaker 7 (52:16):
Your first romance novel you writing?
Speaker 3 (52:18):
Oh, it's called Life is a K-Drama. Because I'm obsessed
with K-dramas. I watch them till four in the morning.
So I like to watch them because you know what?
It's a slow courtship. They don't just jump into bed.
Like what happens to Korean dramas? They go into the
room and then they come out the next morning. Like
you don't see it. Or they'll be wrestling with each
other and then it's the next morning. That's when you
(52:40):
know they're about to have sex. Sometimes I like that.
Speaker 20 (52:42):
I like sometimes when they get into bed and they're
sleeping with people.
Speaker 3 (52:44):
But it's like a courtship. It's like, you know, it's
raining and all of a sudden he's there with the
umbrella or she slips and falls and he's catching her.
Speaker 20 (52:52):
And they have really great storylines. And so I watch
them till four in the morning. I'm so tired, but
I'm obsessed with them. And so what I started seeing
was it's, you know, it's a Korean drama, but black women,
there's a lot of interracial relationships.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
There's a lot of black women who are married to
Korean men. Why can't I see a black woman? And
if you don't see it. Do something about it.
Speaker 20 (53:10):
And I told my agent, I said, I would love
to see a black woman and a Korean man. Like,
why can't we get the rich man? And so he said,
my literary agent, he's Korean. He said, I like it.
So I teamed up with a Korean American romance writer.
She's been on the USA bestseller list. I'm on the
New York Times bestseller list. So we collaborated and I
(53:32):
was with my friend Melba from Melba's Comfort Food.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
And I saw what a boss she is. She's got
like five restaurants, Melba.
Speaker 20 (53:40):
And, you know, she's she's got to open one over
in across the across the daggone world.
Speaker 3 (53:45):
And she's got two in Jersey and one.
Speaker 20 (53:47):
In Roman Rink and one at Grand Central Station. And
I saw how she moved. And I said, what if
it was a woman who had like a soul food restaurant?
And so what it is, is in Korea, her red
velvet cake recipe went viral. So they want to bring
it over and make it international. So she when she
travels to Korea, she thinks she meets a bartender who's
(54:08):
this gorgeous Korean man. But he's actually the heir to
the Cheval. And that's like a conglomerate. A powerful, like
Samsung or, you know, Ikea. He's the heir to all
of this power and all of this money. And she
thought he was a bartender. So she has to leave
because she has a son who's had special needs because
I had to put my life in it. And she
rushes home. And he's like, he don't know who she is.
(54:28):
But he's so attracted to that caramel skin. And he's just,
it's just something about Keisha. His name is Seo Joon.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
And Keisha.
Speaker 20 (54:35):
And he travels across the world to find this woman.
And it turns out this is the business that they're
trying to get. And the sex is so good.
Speaker 3 (54:45):
I mean, her name is Keisha.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
And her name is Keisha.
Speaker 20 (54:47):
And the intimate scenes, they don't show those on K-dramas, but...
They some for your mama.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
This is romanticizing kind of like, I mean, cause you're dating, right?
He's good. So you've narrowed it down. No, I'm not
narrowing it down. Just dating.
Speaker 20 (55:01):
I just don't talk about it. He didn't ask for this.
He does not care about Hollywood. I asked him if
he wanted to be Tom Cruise. And this is what
he said. He said, we about to go see.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
Him in the movie. Why I got to meet him?
I love that. He in the movie.
Speaker 20 (55:14):
He doesn't care. You know, this is the sexy thing.
I'll tell you what he said. He said, God forbid
something happened to you. I will always, always take care
of Jeffrey.
Speaker 8 (55:24):
Number one.
Speaker 20 (55:25):
He said, because I love him like he's my own son.
And he said, and Sherry. God forbid something happened to you,
I'm going to be the one wiping your ass. I'm
going to wipe the spit off your mouth. At this age,
that was very sexy.

Speaker 17 (57:00):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 10 (57:01):
I was trying to help you.
Speaker 6 (57:03):
That's another story.
Speaker 8 (57:06):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (57:08):
Envy. If you can't wash your booty, you got to
be good in the bedroom. Something got to give.
Speaker 2 (57:14):

Speaker 10 (57:17):
Ten years.
Speaker 3 (57:18):
Admitted his wife faked orgasms. Envy, you talk too much. Oh,
my God.
Speaker 2 (57:23):
All right, now I got to explain. I've been with
my wife since 16. Since 16.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
How long you been with her?
Speaker 2 (57:29):
We gotta get content.
Speaker 3 (57:31):
We gotta get content. You gotta get me some content.
So you don't really know what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (57:36):
Exactly. So you watch a porn and it's bang, bang, bang, bang.
And you realize it's not. We took each other's virginity.
And we had to learn each other.
Speaker 3 (57:44):
And you had to relearn each other.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (57:45):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (57:46):
So she faked it for a while.
Speaker 3 (57:47):
Until what age? Till last Tuesday.
Speaker 9 (57:53):
When we did it and we wrote the book, so
many men and so many women said, I fake it too.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
You got to do it very slowly. Kissing is very important.
Speaker 2 (58:01):
I know now. You got to explain now.
Speaker 8 (58:03):
I know now.
Speaker 3 (58:04):
Oh, I thought you wanted me to tell you.
Speaker 8 (58:06):
No, no, no.
Speaker 20 (58:07):
I'm going to let you know. A woman get a
certain age, you got to know what you're doing. You
got to know where you're going, whether you're going east, west, north, south,
and you.
Speaker 15 (58:17):
Got to do it.
Speaker 2 (58:17):
I got it now, Sherri.
Speaker 3 (58:18):
I'm good now.
Speaker 2 (58:19):
I got six kids now.
Speaker 8 (58:20):
I'm good.
Speaker 20 (58:20):
His nose is red like Rudolph. If you do need something,
you can always call me.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
I'm good, Sherri. Okay, I'm just saying. Any more stories
you want to share? You the one sharing them. I
know we got to wrap, but I said I'm happy
for you.
Speaker 20 (58:36):
You talked a lot about like your dating life and
figuring out or lack thereof on your show.
Speaker 3 (58:41):
Yeah, I think this is like an update for us.
Speaker 20 (58:42):
Well, this is really good because he he this is
you when you know you got a good one. He
inconveniences himself for me. He tries to make sure he's
my peace. He always, it's like he listens, you know?
So he, he, you know, this Hollywood thing, he don't
want me to give a script to nobody.
Speaker 3 (58:59):
He ain't trying to get a picture with nobody. He,
it ain't none of that. He's very secure in who
he is. Like he's coming to see me at my
screening of Angel and the Rebel. It's tomorrow.
Speaker 20 (59:10):
He already told everybody I'm the purse holder and he's
OK with it. He don't want to get on the
red carpet. He don't want to be known as the boyfriend.
And he's a leader.
Speaker 3 (59:18):
He is a man's man.
Speaker 20 (59:20):
So it's some stuff. He'll tell me I'm not one
of your employees. And I'm not one of your employees
because I'm used to being bossy. But he can handle
all that. You know, and he makes room for me.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
He always is there.
Speaker 6 (59:33):
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 3 (59:34):
So watch my movies on Lifetime this Saturday, this Saturday,
8 p.m.
Speaker 2 (59:39):
Eastern time.
Speaker 3 (59:40):
And I wanted to shout out your breast cancer campaign.
No questions. I just wanted to shout out. Girl, I
thought you were saying I was like, wait a minute. No,
you got a campaign to get the campaign.
Speaker 6 (59:49):
I'm going to shout out your breast cancer.
Speaker 3 (59:52):
Shout out to your breast cancer.
Speaker 8 (59:54):
Like what?
Speaker 20 (59:57):
And I said, all my big breasted sisters consider a
breast reduction. It was the best thing I ever did
ever in breast cancer awareness.
Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
We really go get the mammograms.
Speaker 20 (01:00:12):
Because it's really, we have very, you know, it's dense
tissue and sometimes we can't tell. So go get the
mammograms because it will save your life.
Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Absolutely. What did I do with the meat? I told
him to put it in my booty. I don't think
that was paying attention. I was like, no, I'm serious.
All that breast meat, put that in my booty.
Speaker 6 (01:00:32):
I do not have a.
Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Black girl booty. Give it to me. Put it on
my hips and my booty. That's right.
Speaker 10 (01:00:39):
And they probably gave it.
Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
To some other person.
Speaker 20 (01:00:41):
They walking around with my tits on their ass.
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Sherri Shepard, ladies and gentlemen.

brown girls look at you.
Speaker 6 (01:01:01):
And go i want to be like you l.l cool
baby talk to me.
Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 20 (01:01:22):
So I know we just talked to Sherri Shepherd and
talked about a lot of things that she was doing.
I want to mention she mentioned something that she's doing
in honor of breast cancer. I wanted to mention last
night and give a shout out to Harlem's Fashion Row.
Last night I attended their event. It's like a big
kickoff for Fashion Week here in New York.
Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
But I went on behalf of the Susan G. Coleman Foundation.
Speaker 20 (01:01:41):
They are leaders in breast cancer research and patient health
as well, too. So we put together this T-shirt with
a designer who won one hundred thousand dollars last night
to invest into her career. Her name is Stella Jean.
And the T-shirt that I wore says, you know, it's
about protecting the girls. But you were able to scan
a T-shirt and donate to the Susan G. Coleman Foundation
(01:02:01):
while we were active in the event. toward everything that
they're doing. But last night was great. So I just
wanted to say thank you guys for having me. I
want people to know about the Susan G. Coleman Foundation.
You can go to their website, find out more about them,
how you support them. And the photos that I posted
in my Don't Play With The Girls t-shirt, you guys
can go and get them and they'll be out in
time or to you in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
(01:02:23):
which is in October. And last night at the Harlem
Fashion Row event, Erykah Badu was honored. Tracee Ellis Ross spoke.
She's like a big proponent of Harlem's Fashion Row. I
saw Gunna there as well too. It was just a
good night in honor of community and breast cancer awareness.
So I wanted to say thank you guys for having me.
Now let's shift gears a bit. Let's take it on
(01:02:44):
over to LA. Um, now we've been following some of
the bigger developments in the dirt case. And yesterday, um,
the everything rested so now the jury is going back
into the quarters and they'll be deliberating and trying.
Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
To figure out what they think.
Speaker 20 (01:03:01):
Now it's in deliberations so I mean there's been a
ton of back and forth from both sides and for
those of you guys who have not been following it
this is a murder for hire trial so Dirk is
on trial because the government is basically saying that he
is responsible for organizing the shooting that happened in LA
where music artist Kondo Rondo's cousin was killed His team is,
(01:03:22):
you know, denying everything. There are witnesses on the stand
that were taking a stand against him as well. But yes,
the jury is now deliberating. There are people outside protesting,
you know, in support of Dirk yesterday. So we'll be
waiting to see kind of what happens now.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
And he's facing life. He's facing life in prison.
Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Yes, he is facing life in prison.
Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (01:03:37):
Okay.
Speaker 20 (01:03:38):
Yeah, so we'll be back with updates as that happens.
Sometimes it could take a week. I mean, we'll just
have to wait and see.
Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
What are they saying? Are they saying anything?
Speaker 9 (01:03:44):
I know at one time when Diddy's case, they assumed
that Diddy was going to have a lot of charges dropped.
Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Are they saying the same thing in Dirk's? Are they
saying it looks good for him? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Oh, because the jury can't say anything to us.
Speaker 9 (01:03:55):
No, no, the people that's been watching the case because
they got all these attorneys that's watching it.
Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
It depends on what side you... Didn't Vaughn.
Speaker 7 (01:04:01):
King Bombay might have come up and say something that
actually made the case take a turn or something like that?
Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
Yeah, so there's statements with her. There are statements from.
Speaker 20 (01:04:09):
They had like three corroborating people from Dirk's label. It's
been back and forth. It depends on what you were
watching it because you have his team and then you
have the opposing team. I know Dirk's dad, though, has
been saying that they don't have strong evidence against him
if you guys want to take a listen to that.
He's been outside of the trial and there every single day.
Speaker 6 (01:04:25):
As well, too.
Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Yeah, but it depends on who you're talking to, though, basically.
Speaker 12 (01:04:29):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Yeah, we'll just have to wait to see what the
jury says.
Speaker 6 (01:04:32):
That's the only people that matter at this point.
Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
And we'll know by the end of the week, I'm sure, right?
Speaker 20 (01:04:37):
I can't say that for certain. I don't know that
for certain. People have different predictions, but I don't know.
All right, now let's move on.
Speaker 14 (01:04:43):
So....
Speaker 20 (01:04:45):
Still staying over in LA, Chris Rock. So Chris Rock
had a conversation with Variety. I think you guys will
enjoy the conversation. So he's talking about kind of like
this new return, not even new, but his return to directing.
It's been 12 years since he directed something and he's
returning with his new film, Misty Green. It's going to
be in theaters via A24 in October. And he's actually
(01:05:07):
saying that this is one of the most important things
that he's ever done or put out in his career
since Bring the Pain.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
Is it a horror film?
Speaker 20 (01:05:13):
So it's like it's like a heartbreaking film. It's about
this girl who is like an up and coming actress.
She's having issues with booking jobs. She was once on
top of the game and now she's out of it
and she's trying to get back into it. But she
was like kind of difficult to work with. So she's
going through all these things as she figures it out.
And he's also acting in the film as well, too.
But in this article, he talks a lot about, you know,
just the kind of the turn that he's taken with
(01:05:34):
going back to directing and. and how when he was
doing just comedy and directing a bit, he feels like
he was kind of given a pass because of who
he was at the time. And he points to some
of the things that he's directed previously that were not
reviewed well.
Speaker 6 (01:05:52):
Like what?
Speaker 20 (01:05:53):
He says all his prior movies, and even in the
Variety article, they bring up some of the prior movies
that he's directed.
Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
He's always been honest about how he don't feel like
he scored with a movie.
Speaker 6 (01:06:02):
I thought Top 5 was good, though.
Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
Well, he talks about head of state particularly.
Speaker 12 (01:06:08):
Right.
Speaker 20 (01:06:09):
And he says when he was on head of state,
he was like he was basically Drake. Like he was
so big as Chris Rock that he was kind of
allowed to do whatever he wanted. And he says that
if he knew then what he knows now, he would
have written it for Denzel Washington. He wouldn't even have
put himself in that movie, but he didn't know his
power at the time.
Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
Didn't he do an interview.
Speaker 20 (01:06:29):
Yeah but it's written in his audio this is not
an audio this is all written but we do have
audio with him talking a bit about him losing the
so just play the audio I gotta explain it because
it's not about what we're talking about but since we're
going to the audio so Chris Rock was also talking
about the fact that Everybody Hates Chris was supposed to
(01:06:51):
be on Fox and it wasn't on Fox because Method
Man and Red Man Show took the slate let's take
a listen So I.
Speaker 19 (01:06:57):
Write this show, this family drama, this family comedy.
Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
We were initially at Fox.
Speaker 19 (01:07:02):
The choice of shows was either my show, Everybody Hates Chris,
or the Method Man and Red Man show. And we
lost to the Method Man and Red Man show, which
put Everybody Hates Chris, so it didn't air on Fox.
Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
It aired on the UPN.
Speaker 19 (01:07:20):
If it aired on Fox, I wouldn't be here right
now because I would have made so much money.
Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
But that's how it is.
Speaker 19 (01:07:27):
That's how it is when you make black family stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:07:32):
If I'd have had two rappers smoking weed.
Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Well, they didn't last that long.
Speaker 19 (01:07:36):
I mean, you know, Meth, they're doing fine, both of
those guys.
Speaker 6 (01:07:39):
I love those guys.
Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
But how the f * * * did I lose
that one?
Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
I don't even.
Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Remember the method. I don't remember it past the pilot though.
I now remember the show. I just don't remember it
past the pilot. Everybody hates Chris.
Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
Classic, though.
Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Yeah, classic.
Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
But I still watch that.
Speaker 20 (01:07:54):
I think my biggest takeaway from, like, so the written
interview is where, like, a lot of the stuff is.
My biggest takeaway from this written interview was that, like,
now he feels like he has more of, like, a
through line or, like, focus. Remember he talked about being
diagnosed with ADHD, Asperger's? Well, he talked about that back
in 2020. He actually says that now he's been doing
extensive therapy for So he has a lot of different
(01:08:17):
level of concentration and empathy that he didn't have back then.
So he says he was good at telling jokes, but
he didn't have to face a lot of things. His
comedic gifts put him in a position where he didn't
have to grow up. So he's better equipped now to
make movies now.
Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
Listen, Chris Rock is goaded.
Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Okay, Chris Rock has scored way too many times for
me to ever count him out.
Speaker 6 (01:08:35):
I didn't even like the headline of the Variety article.
It was Variety, right?
Speaker 15 (01:08:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Well, it was a bunch of people that covered it
because they grabbed the Oscars thing.
Speaker 6 (01:08:41):
Well, what was the cover?
Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
Variety. Yeah, it's a comeback.
Speaker 6 (01:08:44):
It's a comeback. I don't even like that. I'm like, comeback?
Speaker 20 (01:08:47):
But it's because he kind of frames the article as
like this is like his second leash on things, like
lease on things. But that's why when I said it,
I kind of corrected myself because it's weird to say
that about him.
Speaker 7 (01:08:55):
But what did you say well I don't know you
should say he's like a rebrand or reinvent himself.
Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
He never went nowhere yeah he never went nowhere he's.
Speaker 9 (01:09:03):
Been directing even after the slap he's been on tour
he's been doing a bunch.
Speaker 20 (01:09:05):
Of things it just sounds like now he has a
better hold on what his direction is in business and
as the director guy like he wants to be known
as the director guy and.
Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
That perspective comes from him right.
Speaker 20 (01:09:15):
Yeah that's what I'm saying that's what he's literally talking
about he's saying it yes alright.
Speaker 9 (01:09:19):
Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Now, Lauren, I
just want to let you know, you know who Alfalfa is?
Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
Yes. It's supposed to be like this.
Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
Don't do me.
Speaker 20 (01:09:31):
I need you to worry about the arms and what
they're up over there. You've been working out for about
a year and you over there looking like a gel pen.
Speaker 6 (01:09:41):
I don't know what gel pen means.
Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
You don't remember the glittery gel pens?
Speaker 20 (01:09:43):
And they like flubbery and you would get them for
a back to side accent.
Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
She said gel pen.
Speaker 5 (01:09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
It sounded like she said gel pen.
Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
My wife loves me.
Speaker 6 (01:09:51):
That's all that matters. He would definitely get pinned down
in jail with.
Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
A black pen.
Speaker 6 (01:09:54):
Who you giving your dog to?
Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Speaking of jail, who you giving your dog to?
Speaker 6 (01:09:57):
I want to talk to N-Word. Okay, God gave me
a download this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
We keep having the same conversation over and over in
regards to the N-Word.
Speaker 6 (01:10:04):
So, you know, let's discuss. All right.
Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 6 (01:10:07):
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, girls. It's time for
donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here.
Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Call donkey of the day.
Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
It really caught me off guard.
Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
You are a donkey. That is why Charlemagne is here.
Some donkey today's just saw themselves.
Speaker 6 (01:10:32):
On The Breakfast Club. Okay, Chalamet, who you giving donkey
of the day to today?
Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
Listen, donkey of the day for Wednesday, September 9th goes
to all of us black and brown people who are
sitting around arguing about who can use the N-word.
Speaker 6 (01:10:44):
Gather round, okay? I just want to talk to you
for a second, man. This weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
the never ending discussion of who can use the N
word and who can't use the N word was, uh,
sparked because of fat Joe again.
Speaker 8 (01:10:55):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
He was on the Joe button podcast and he was
defending his use of the N word by pointing to
his upbringing in the Bronx, growing up in black housing
projects and his deep roots in hip hop culture.
Speaker 6 (01:11:05):
That's not even the conversation I want to have.
Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
All I've seen that conversation do is lead to a,
bunch of unserious.
Speaker 8 (01:11:10):
Arguments, all right?
Speaker 6 (01:11:11):
I like to learn, all right?
Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
And all that dialogue reminded me is that even though
I know better, I'm not doing better. And there was
a time where I said publicly, I wasn't using the
N-word anymore.
Speaker 6 (01:11:23):
And I want to challenge myself to do that again, okay? See,
for years, there's something we've.
Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Been saying that I don't think I've ever really believed.
And that statement is, we took the power out of
the N-word.
Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (01:11:36):
OK, I'm going to tell you something that you all
have heard a million times.
Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
If we took the power out of the N-word, why
do we get so mad when somebody else who's not
black says it? If there's no power in it, what's
the problem? OK, clearly there's still power in that word. OK,
what we actually did was create rules about who gets
to use it. And I don't think we should play
that game anymore. OK, I also don't believe it's a
term of endowment either.
Speaker 17 (01:11:58):
All right.
Speaker 6 (01:11:58):
I never, ever use it as a term of endowment. OK,
I use it.
Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
The way the white man and Uncle Ruckus meant it
to be used. OK, folks will be like, when I
call my man the N-word, it means brother. It means homie.
That means family.
Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Well, call him brother.
Speaker 6 (01:12:12):
OK, call him homie. Call him fam. I say peace,
black man. I say peace, king, because those are high.
vibrational words, okay?
Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
I only use the term N-word when I'm talking about
low vibrational people with low vibrational actions, okay? Black people,
we create new slang every damn day, okay? We have
no shortage of words. So why is the N-word one
we can't let go, okay? The word that was actually
created to degrade and dehumanize us, we can't let it go.
Speaker 6 (01:12:41):
I don't understand it, okay? There's a book, all right?
Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
I was showing y'all this book early this morning while
I was showing the room. well i was showing me
i was showing just hilarious right there's a book that
i love okay i'm holding it up in my hand
i grew up reading this book okay every now and
then i pick it up and read it again it's
got two volumes and it's called and i'm saying the
word for title purposes from niggas to gods okay by
akil all right in this book there's a chapter called
(01:13:07):
return to cinder let me see if i can you
see it right there it's called return to cinder all
right you see it In that chapter, it talks about
all the hell black people have caught in America. And
because of the hell we've caught, some of us have
become hell raisers. And it says in that chapter, we
need to give this hell back to whom it is
(01:13:28):
that we caught it from.
Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
And it says in particular.
Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
To give the n-word back all right we didn't create
that word white supremacy did all right that was their
word for us so why in the hell are we
fighting for ownership of it okay our ancestors fought to
not be called the n-word now their descendants us will
argue you down about our right to call each other
the n-word how did we get here how Imagine explaining
(01:13:54):
that to your great grandparents. Okay, well, look, I understand,
you know, y'all fought against being called this word because
it was used to degrade and dehumanize you.
Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
But don't worry, we fixed it. We call each other
that now.
Speaker 8 (01:14:05):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
No, that's okay, grandma. We changed the ER to an A.
If that makes sense to you, fine. Okay, if it
doesn't apply, let it fly. I'm just telling you how
I feel this morning. And I already know what somebody
is saying. We reclaimed it. Reclaimed what? OK, you reclaim
something that belonged to you. That word never belonged to us. OK,
our dignity belonged to us. Our humanity belonged to us.
(01:14:28):
Reclaim all of that. But the N word, that's some
crackers property. OK, return to send it.
Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
And I think we've confused something. We have confused defiance
with liberation.
Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
I'll say that again. We have confused defiance with liberation.
Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
OK, there's a difference between saying I'm going to use
your insult so you can't hurt me with it.
Speaker 8 (01:14:50):
All right.
Speaker 6 (01:14:50):
That's the Eminem and 8 Mile move.
Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
And then there is the your insult doesn't have anything
to do with me anymore move. OK, for me, the
second one sounds a whole lot freer.
Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
I don't need to prove you can't hurt me with
a knife by stabbing myself with it.
Speaker 6 (01:15:05):
OK, I could just put the damn knife down. That's
how I feel about the N-word.
Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
OK, I call it low vibrational because I don't believe
there's anything uplifting about speaking a word over ourselves that
was created from hatred towards us. And I'm not talking
about some scientific measurement of vibrations.
Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
I'm talking spiritually.
Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
OK, I'm talking about what I choose to speak over
myself and other black and brown people. Words mean something
to me. That's why I don't ever use the N
word in an affectionate way. OK, if I love you,
why would one of my terms of affection for you
be somebody else's term of degradation for both of us?
Speaker 11 (01:15:41):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
That's what I mean when I say this has to
be hilarious to a white supremacist. OK, a word they
created to dehumanize us, a word we used to fight
them for using. We are now fighting each other to use.
It don't make no damn sense to me. And I'm
not even going to get into the music.
Speaker 8 (01:15:56):
All right.
Speaker 6 (01:15:56):
That complicates this even more and makes it even more ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
We hand everybody the N word and then get mad
when somebody mishandles it.
Speaker 6 (01:16:05):
OK, here's an idea. Let's just stop handing it out. OK.
And by the way, you don't got to listen to me.
Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
I'm not trying to police no grown person's mouth.
Speaker 6 (01:16:13):
OK.
Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
Say whatever you want. I'm telling you what I believe
and what I think will work for me.
Speaker 6 (01:16:18):
OK. I don't think anybody should use it. OK. Black
people included. I don't think black.
Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
Liberation requires us to preserve the language of black degradation.
Speaker 6 (01:16:26):
OK, that's why I'm mad with it.
Speaker 8 (01:16:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
Some things our ancestors gave us because they wanted us
to keep them. And some things were done to our
ancestors that we inherited anyway. OK, those aren't the same thing.
The N-word is not some precious piece of black culture
that needs.
Speaker 6 (01:16:41):
To be protected.
Speaker 5 (01:16:42):
Right.
Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
It was put on us and we can take it off.
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
We don't need to change the spelling. We don't need
to change the pronunciation. We don't need to debate who's allowed.
Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
To say it.
Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
We don't need to take the power out of it, okay?
Just give the damn thing back. Return the sender, as
this beautiful book from Niggas to God says, okay?
Speaker 6 (01:17:01):
I don't want the package. Never ordered it.
Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
Don't know who signed for it. And I'm damn sure
not paying the shipping, okay? Our ancestors fought to make sure.
Speaker 6 (01:17:08):
The world knew they weren't that word.
Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
I'm not going to honor them by fighting for my
right to call myself what they fought not to be called.
Please give those of us arguing over who can use
the N-word the biggest hee-haw. And if you can, go
order this amazing book from Niggas to Gods by Akil. Okay,
(01:17:32):
I believe it's available on Amazon. I ordered this book
in the 90s. You see how it looks?
Speaker 8 (01:17:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:17:37):
It's even got water damage.
Speaker 20 (01:17:39):
All right.
Speaker 5 (01:17:39):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
Yeah, I had this book for a long time.
Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
I just ordered it from Amazon.
Speaker 6 (01:17:43):
Oh, it's still on Amazon?
Speaker 20 (01:17:44):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:17:44):

Speaker 6 (01:17:44):
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
And it's a volume two as well.
Speaker 6 (01:17:49):
It's definitely a volume two.
Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (01:17:52):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Well, thank you for that donkey today.
Speaker 8 (01:17:54):
Yes, indeed.
Speaker 9 (01:17:55):
Now let's open up the phone lines. Eight hundred five
eight five one oh five one. Sherry Shepard stopped through
earlier today and she said something about one of what
one of her friends said to her about her ex
at the time.
Speaker 20 (01:18:07):
So I got don't I got a good one, Simone?
You talk about taking it slow, but I got it
going so bad that we broke up and Kim Whitley
called me and she said, can I have him?
Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
All my friends. I'm telling you.
Speaker 20 (01:18:22):
She was like, screw that girl, Cole. Look, he's a
good man. When we broke up, everybody was sad when
we got back together. I'm telling you, the driver that
I have almost crashed into a tree.
Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
They love him. Because I see how much he loves
me and how good he treats me.
Speaker 9 (01:18:37):
So the question is 800-585-1051. Have you ever dated one
of your friend's ex?
Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
Why did the driver almost crash into a tree? Because
he was such a good man?
Speaker 9 (01:18:46):
No, she was saying that when the driver found out
that he broke up, he was so upset.
Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Upset that he almost crashed into a tree because he.
Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
Was such a good dude.
Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
Yo, it's crazy.
Speaker 9 (01:18:54):
But 800-585-1051, especially ladies. Ladies, have you ever dated one

and she was talking about she had a man. Her
ex was so good, she's with him now, but they
broke up at one time, and she said her man
was so good that her friends wanted to date him.
Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Let's listen.
Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
Don't I got a good one, Simone? Yeah, that's my father.
You talk about taking it slow.
Speaker 20 (01:19:35):
But I got it going so bad that we broke up,

Like, all my friends. When you get a certain age.
I'm telling you. You can do that.
Speaker 20 (01:19:45):
Yeah, she was like, screw that girl, Cole. Look, he's

Speaker 6 (01:20:03):
Good morning.
Speaker 19 (01:20:03):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:20:04):
Where you calling from?
Speaker 10 (01:20:05):
I'm calling from Jersey.
Speaker 21 (01:20:07):
How you doing this morning?
Speaker 8 (01:20:07):
Hey, girl.
Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
What part of Jersey?
Speaker 10 (01:20:09):
Edison.
Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Edison, New Jersey.
Speaker 8 (01:20:11):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
So we're asking 800-585-1051, would you date your friend's ex?
Speaker 10 (01:20:16):
Okay, here is my truth.
Speaker 8 (01:20:18):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 17 (01:20:19):
I have an ex-girlfriend, and she was dealing with me
and a gentleman for 22 years, both of us.
Speaker 10 (01:20:27):
And now me and him are engaged.
Speaker 7 (01:20:30):
And did you tell her this before y'all just popped
out with it?
Speaker 23 (01:20:33):
Actually, we were all supposed to get together, and that
didn't happen, and me and him just got together.
Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
Oh, so that's different. You and your friend and your
man was about to have a relationship.
Speaker 14 (01:20:47):
I had a boyfriend at the time also, so it
was supposed to be her and him and me.
Speaker 5 (01:20:52):
And my boyfriend.
Speaker 17 (01:20:53):
Four quarters to come together to make a dollar.
Speaker 23 (01:20:56):
But she kind of got jealous.
Speaker 13 (01:20:58):
And started acting up.
Speaker 10 (01:20:59):
So we just put her out and put.
Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
Him out and we stayed together.
Speaker 5 (01:21:03):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
Yeah, they was trying to swing. But the ones, her
friend wasn't swinging that way.
Speaker 9 (01:21:08):
She ain't like that. So they swung her ass out. Yeah,
you took your friend's boo.
Speaker 20 (01:21:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
Damn.
Speaker 10 (01:21:14):
Well, she actually gave them to me. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
Hold on, wait.
Speaker 7 (01:21:18):
She never expressed, like, that she was upset at you
for that? Like, yo, of all the men in the world, mine?
You want to take mine?
Speaker 8 (01:21:24):
I've never seen him, like, Yeah, she upset.
Speaker 17 (01:21:26):
She expressed it.
Speaker 10 (01:21:28):
That she was upset, but she wasn't treating him right
or treating me right.
Speaker 14 (01:21:32):
Because we never knew each other, me and him.
Speaker 5 (01:21:35):
We just knew of each other through her.
Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Exactly.
Speaker 14 (01:21:37):
She made him think that I didn't like him and
made me think that he didn't like me.
Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
Exactly, to keep you all apart. Because she know how
frisky your ass was.
Speaker 14 (01:21:49):
Yeah, but then when we got together, we had so
many similarities and so much in common. We just fell
in love with each other.
Speaker 6 (01:21:58):
Well, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
Thank you, Mama. Well, I didn't ask the room yet
because I seen her on the line. I wanted to
catch her before.
Speaker 3 (01:22:03):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
Have you ever done that?
Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Or has somebody ever done it to you?
Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
I've never and will never, ever, ever. And you know
what was crazy? Shayna always wanted every man that I've dated.
Speaker 5 (01:22:13):
She's gay.
Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
She's a homestead.
Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
Yeah, she is a homestead. But she still got her
little ways. You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:22:18):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (01:22:18):
She always wanted all.
Speaker 6 (01:22:19):
This is news to me.
Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
Yes. Like, Shayna, like, especially when I met Chris, what?
Speaker 14 (01:22:24):
Like.
Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
She was, like, all over Christian.
Speaker 6 (01:22:27):
Sheena was born a stud. Yeah, like, how is she
going to tell me?
Speaker 8 (01:22:30):
No.
Speaker 6 (01:22:31):
Sheena came out the womb with her mouth open.
Speaker 10 (01:22:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Don't play with her like that.
Speaker 8 (01:22:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
She did have one boyfriend. She used to wear skirts
in school.
Speaker 8 (01:22:40):
Sheena?
Speaker 14 (01:22:40):
Yes, Sheena.
Speaker 8 (01:22:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
Let me see a picture of Sheena in a skirt.
Sheena wasn't always Heena. It was Sheena before.
Speaker 6 (01:22:46):
So don't play with her. But you would never?
Speaker 9 (01:22:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
I would never in my life. Never, ever, ever. But yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:22:53):
Let's go to the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:22:54):
We have, uh... There's too many men out here to
be trying to date your friends, man. It could be
a connection.
Speaker 6 (01:22:58):
It could just be a connection. It's just a good person.
Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
If I know you with my friend, it is no
way I'm even trying to.
Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
See what's up with the connection. I didn't say, you
know what, he's a good person.
Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
I don't care. No, there's so many other good people
out here. I don't want what you got. I don't
want what you had. None of that.
Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 10 (01:23:13):
Good morning, y'all.
Speaker 12 (01:23:14):
Hey, girl.
Speaker 6 (01:23:15):
Doctor here.
Speaker 23 (01:23:16):
So, to answer y'all's question, um... I actually have dated
my friend's ex before.
Speaker 10 (01:23:22):
But in my defense, in my defense, I did not
know that it was.
Speaker 23 (01:23:25):
Her ex at the time. So this is back in
high school. We 33 now. And we actually still cool
and everything like that. But at the time, so I
always had a crush. It's like freshman year.
Speaker 10 (01:23:35):
I had a crush on this boy.
Speaker 23 (01:23:36):
And we always were like flirting class and do stuff
like that.
Speaker 17 (01:23:39):
And, you know, talk to each other.
Speaker 23 (01:23:41):
And about, I think it was like the summer going
into junior year, we started dating. We started doing our little,
we had like a little three-month, three, four-month thing or whatever.
And then once we got back to school, she's like,
you know, we used to date. You know, we used
to go together.
Speaker 10 (01:23:56):
And I'm like, no, I didn't know that.
Speaker 23 (01:23:58):
And I felt bad, but at the same time, I
was like, you know, I really, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:24:01):
Don't care.
Speaker 19 (01:24:02):
What can I say?

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
And she didn't know, like she said. Like, I'm talking
about when you.
Speaker 14 (01:24:10):
Willingly do this.
Speaker 10 (01:24:10):
Right, because she would tell me, like, I mean, we
was cool.
Speaker 23 (01:24:13):
And why she didn't tell me that a long time ago,
she used to see how we used to flirt in class.
Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
Right.
Speaker 8 (01:24:17):
And everything. How old are you?
Speaker 14 (01:24:18):
She never said nothing.

Sherri Shepherd, who was here earlier, and this is what
she said.
Speaker 20 (01:25:11):
I got it going so bad that we broke up,
and Kim Whitley called me, and she said, can I
have him? Like, all my friends. When you're a certain age,
I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
You can do that.
Speaker 20 (01:25:21):
Yeah, she was like, screw that girl, Cole. Look, he's
a good man. When we broke up, everybody was sad
when we got together. I'm telling you, the driver that
I have almost crashed into a tree. They love him
because they see how much he loves me and how
good he treats me.
Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
Now we have Lainey on the line. Lainey, good morning.

Speaker 17 (01:25:44):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Now, have you ever dated your friend's ex?
Speaker 17 (01:25:47):
I did, but it was by accident. So what happened
was my friend was really, really into this guy and
he wasn't, obviously he wasn't into her. He was kind
of using her like a booty call or whatever. So
I was trying to tell her, leave him alone. So
I saw him one day. We happened to be in
the same place at the same time. He was trying
to talk to me and I was telling him, look,
if you're not into my friend, let her know because
(01:26:10):
she's really into you. So he picked up his phone
right there while we were all together and And called
my friend and said, hey, you know, basically broke up
with her. So she got upset with me and was like,
why would you get him to break up with me?
And I was telling her I was trying to help
you out. Long story short, she got upset with me,
brought friends over. They tried to fight me and everything.
So after that... Of course, we're enemies. So the guy
(01:26:32):
was telling me, well, look, y'all ain't friends no more,
so we might as well start talking.
Speaker 10 (01:26:36):
So that's what we did.
Speaker 17 (01:26:38):
So we ended.
Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Up getting married. But no, no, uh-uh, no.
Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
Cut it out.
Speaker 7 (01:26:42):
Cut the bull, because you was already dealing with him.
That's why you almost got beat.
Speaker 10 (01:26:46):
Up by all of them.
Speaker 17 (01:26:47):
I promise you I was not.
Speaker 3 (01:26:48):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:26:49):
I really wasn't.
Speaker 17 (01:26:50):
I was trying to look out for her. I was like,
he's not treating you right, girl.
Speaker 10 (01:26:53):
Break up with him.
Speaker 18 (01:26:54):
But he was trying to talk to you well when
he called her when he called her in front of
you that was right after you told him hey that's
right after he told you i want to talk to
you so he was like you're going to call my
friend and tell her like stop leaving her no that's
not it.
Speaker 17 (01:27:07):
I promise i told him no like a thousand times
and then i said plus because at the time he
was actually dealing with a whole nother woman so i
told her that too but she.
Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
Wouldn't listen Okay, so you were trying to save your
friend and ended up becoming his booty call, too. I
wasn't his booty call.

Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
I don't care, you know. And we talked every day, like, he,
you know, my kids call him uncle and s * * t,
that we go to the games, everything like that together.
Speaker 8 (01:28:08):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:28:08):
And then, like, he cut me off, like, so I
didn't care, but he cut me off, like, I did
something wrong to him.
Speaker 8 (01:28:17):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
He cut you off after he married your ex-wife?
Speaker 5 (01:28:20):
Well, he didn't marry her. Well, I think that he
is married now, but, yeah, I don't know what they
got going on now, but, yeah, he pretty much cut
me off.
Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
So they don't call him uncle, they call him pops now?
Speaker 5 (01:28:28):
I ain't got, I ain't have kids.
Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
Oh, okay, so you ain't have kids. Okay. Damn.
Speaker 5 (01:28:35):
I was, I was, I was, that was 10 years ago.
So I really didn't like, you know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:28:40):
Mean? It didn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
It didn't bother you?
Speaker 14 (01:28:42):
No.
Speaker 5 (01:28:43):
I was pretty, pretty wrecked.
Speaker 2 (01:28:45):
Cause he moved on. I guess he got a new wife,
but that's still what bothered me.
Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
That's my ex wife.
Speaker 7 (01:28:50):
Like I'm married this person. Not, you know, I did everything,
but have kids with this person. And my best friend,
my best friend dates her.
Speaker 6 (01:28:57):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
I think it's crazy.
Speaker 10 (01:28:58):
That is nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
That's not really your friend.
Speaker 8 (01:29:00):
Right.
Speaker 7 (01:29:00):
I mean, wouldn't that have you thinking, like, yo, I
ain't had a whole time. Like, you've been my best
friend since longer than I know her.
Speaker 14 (01:29:08):
They probably belong together, man.
Speaker 5 (01:29:09):
To be honest with you, they probably belong together the
whole time. I wasn't the shit.
Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
I see how you're looking at it.
Speaker 6 (01:29:15):
He moved on.
Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
He got kids.
Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
He don't care about it no more. Take it. That's
his problem now.
Speaker 6 (01:29:19):
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 12 (01:29:20):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (01:29:20):
The fact that he cut me off is like, man.
Speaker 8 (01:29:23):
Right.
Speaker 6 (01:29:23):
He the one got mad.
Speaker 8 (01:29:24):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:29:26):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:29:27):
Thank you, brother.
Speaker 5 (01:29:28):
But I see why. I can see why.
Speaker 6 (01:29:31):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
Yeah. You know, it's cool.
Speaker 7 (01:29:36):
That's crazy to me. It's too many people in the
world to be doing that. And like you said, you
said it earlier. I said it just now. That means
you always had eyes for the person that was once
your friend's man or woman. Like, yo, how could you
just get with somebody.
Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
art they constantly see how happy you were i hear
you talking about how good yeah that man is in
bed yeah you know i'm saying if you walking around
talking about how you have five six multiple orgasms you
know what i'm saying for sure you want to feel
that current right right i've never been that but you.
Speaker 9 (01:30:08):
Believe in connection though because people say the connection is
stronger your soulmate do you know i mean because that
could be your quote-unquote soulmate But I'm not giving.
Speaker 6 (01:30:15):
And there's whole mates too, man.
Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
Right.
Speaker 7 (01:30:17):
I'm not giving somebody a chance to even have a
connection with me, even if I know that she was
dealing with my, like, nah, we should never have a
chance to connect on another level.
Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
Nah, I would feel like that was always your intention.
Speaker 8 (01:30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
Like, no, that's, that's, it's too many people.
Speaker 9 (01:30:30):
And that's why a lot of men don't like their
girlfriends or wives having male friends because they always feel
like their male friends is always out for something else.
Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
No, and that is true. That is really, really true.
Speaker 6 (01:30:41):
I'm still stuck on the fact Sheena used to like men.
Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Yo, shut up.
Speaker 6 (01:30:44):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:30:47):
Everybody except Rome. She ain't like Rome. Actually, she related
to Rome.
Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
So was Sheena a stud then?
Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
Sheena is a super stud. She is a stud, yeah.
But she's like men.
Speaker 6 (01:30:55):
That's what got me confused. I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
She just got a thing about them.
Speaker 7 (01:30:59):
I'm talking like she would be flirting with, it was
two boyfriends I had before I got married to Chris.
Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
She had a crush on one of them. She was
talking to him. She'd be, you know, flirting and all
of that.
Speaker 17 (01:31:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
I'm like, man, them studs, they'll bust it open if
you get them in the right place.
Speaker 6 (01:31:15):
I'm looking at her a little different. I like a
steady stud. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 8 (01:31:19):
She's steady.
Speaker 6 (01:31:19):
I like a stud that can keep it sturdy. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
She's discreet, but she's steady, though.
Speaker 6 (01:31:23):
She's steady.
Speaker 19 (01:31:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
What's the moral of this story?
Speaker 3 (01:31:25):
I don't think she'd go far and, like, have sex
with a man or nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Well, she won't go with it, then.
Speaker 3 (01:31:28):
It's something about a man.
Speaker 6 (01:31:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:31:30):
It's something about a man or something about my man that,
you know, she always have liked.
Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
Well, what's the moral of the story if there is
a moral? She didn't really want Jess.
Speaker 6 (01:31:39):
There you go. All right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
When we come back, we got to lay this with Lauren. No,
we're not even going to put that out there.
Speaker 14 (01:31:46):
No, she don't.
Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
Stop playing.
Speaker 6 (01:31:47):
We're going to lay.
Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
This with Lauren. Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (01:33:55):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
All right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
It's going to be fire. That's what's up.
Speaker 20 (01:33:59):
Now, speaking of music and performing live, we had talked
about Joey Badass, right?
Speaker 23 (01:34:04):
Absolutely.
Speaker 20 (01:34:05):
And he went viral because he performed a cover of
Song Cry.
Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Let's take a quick listen. You got to play full thing.
Speaker 20 (01:34:10):
Just a quick listen to the cover of Song Cry
he did over Labor Day weekend and went viral. back
like that all right now that went viral because i
was just after them girls i was gonna get right
(01:34:31):
back go ahead yep now this is in the midst
of his breakup from serea who we know that he
was engaged to they just welcomed their child so it
went viral because people were like uh-uh why are you
trying to get her back through songs and it wasn't
even like that it's not even yours when we talked
about it here um uh yesterday uh we i said
well maybe it was like a uh a transition that
he was using to get into a song during his
(01:34:52):
live show. So someone from Joey's team hit me up
and they wanted to clarify that. Yes, that is exactly
what it was. He has a song called Penny Royal
that he does. And that was just a transition. And
of course it picked up because of all of the
circumstances that are going.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
On right now.
Speaker 6 (01:35:03):
He does that often. Is that part of the show?
Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
That is the way that it was interpreted to me.
Speaker 14 (01:35:07):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (01:35:08):
And he says for people that look at it that way,
they said, for people that look at it that way,
thanks for being open-minded.
Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Yeah, I mean, because the reality is they don't want
to hear, if he was to do something like that publicly,
they would want to hear it from him himself. They
want to hear his own words. And they don't want
the song to cry joy. They want you to cry.
Speaker 8 (01:35:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
I listen to these women every day in here.
Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
They want to see you in tears, balled up in.
Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
The fetal position.
Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
Absolutely. Please don't leave me.
Speaker 6 (01:35:33):
Even though I tell them mine ain't been seen. He should.
Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Matter of fact, yes.
Speaker 7 (01:35:36):
He should do the song Please Don't Go by Hank.
Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
He should cover that. He samples a lot. He could
take that, add some lyrics. So he got to figure
that out, though. That's what's up. Get that family back.
If Soraya sing on the hook, she can sing too.
I don't think she want to sing with him right now.
Speaker 9 (01:35:48):
Guys, I don't even know if he wants to get back.
I don't even know if they want to come back together.
Told you I'm on your business.
Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
He want her back.
Speaker 2 (01:35:54):
How you know?
Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
I just, I can feel it. I don't know.
Speaker 20 (01:35:57):
But if he does, he got to figure it out. Now,
we're going to shift gears for a second. Dang, it's 8.59.
Chingy did an interview with Vlad, right? And I want
y'all to clear this up because me and Jess were
not here. In this interview, Chingy says that platforms, like
the Breakfast Club, made things a lot worse for him
during the Sydney Star time.
Speaker 3 (01:36:17):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 8 (01:36:17):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 15 (01:36:18):
This is when I got back with Disturbing the Peace.
This was like 06, 07. We was in Chicago for
a show. It was some girls, what looked like all
girls in body paint on stage. And one came over
and asked me for a picture, said they was a
huge fan. And I took the picture. And that was it.
Two years later, the individual lied and said they had
a relationship with me.
Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
And that was Sidney Starr, who was a transgender.
Speaker 5 (01:36:40):
Yep.
Speaker 15 (01:36:40):
The morning I found out, when I was asleep, I
woke up to my homeboy texting me. And he was like, man,
you see this bull on social media? I didn't know
what he was talking about. I think people wanted that
to be true because everybody that interviewed that individual never lied.
bother to say you know what we finna call chingy
why you right here let's see what chingy got to
(01:37:02):
say about this i'm talking about everybody with the famous
big platforms the breakfast club and you know all of
these platforms nobody bothered to get my take on it
at all.
Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
I never interviewed sydney star so Yeah, the story was
probably reported in the rumor report, and y'all probably went crazy.
Speaker 6 (01:37:20):
No, they actually interviewed Sidney.
Speaker 5 (01:37:22):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:37:23):
Okay, my bad, y'all. I'm sorry. So what happened?
Speaker 7 (01:37:26):
Why would you not call Chingy? And you already know
he's just right there. Why would you not call him
and be like, hey, give your side of the story?
Why would you ever let Sidney come up here and
say that?
Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
First of all, I don't know Chingy. I don't have
a relationship with Chingy. You don't know Sidney either.
Speaker 6 (01:37:39):
Second of all, I don't do the rumors.
Speaker 4 (01:37:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:37:41):
But it was an interview.
Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
You did interviews.
Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Yeah, she did the interview and they asked a question
and she said what she said. I don't even remember.
Speaker 20 (01:37:47):
Do you feel like, though, whenever you interview a person,
there is two sides to a story. Do you always
have to reach out? Especially, I mean, maybe because the
situation is so sensitive.
Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
I mean, I try.
Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
I mean, we do try.
Speaker 9 (01:37:56):
Like, if we're interviewing somebody or we know we're interviewing
somebody and you know it's something a little, you know,
funny that we can ask a question, but like, hey,
it's this side.
Speaker 3 (01:38:03):
For man to man, you could have been like, yo,
for real, like.
Speaker 6 (01:38:05):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
And when you interviewed Sydney, even though I wasn't there,
did it still feel like four people was in the room?
Speaker 2 (01:38:10):
All right, that's the latest we learned. Who's it brought
you by?
Speaker 14 (01:38:12):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
It's brought to you. Come on, who's it brought to
you by? I'm not supposed to say that one.
Speaker 8 (01:38:17):
Focus.
Speaker 20 (01:38:17):
Top Dog Law has won over a billion dollars for
their clients. That's who it's brought to you by. Now,
if you guys get into an accident, make the call.
Top Dog Law, their bark is their bite. That's who
Chingy should have called Top Dog Law.

All right. Well, let's get up out of here. You
got a positive note? I do.
Speaker 1 (01:40:31):
Remember, I was talking to you all about the amazing
book from N-Words to Gods, right? It's by Akil. You know,
read it when I was younger. I read it every
now and then. And I quoted a chapter out of
there during Donkey of the Day called Return to Cinder.
But I want to tell you all about another chapter.
And the chapter is Weakness Must Be Manifested. before it
can be perfected, okay? In the book, Akil says, weakness
(01:40:53):
must be manifested before it can be perfected, but can
you stand within the light of truth? Can your false
pride and shallow ego endure the exposure given by the
light of truth? Are you emotionally prepared to walk towards
perfection the light of truth. Can you really walk the
illuminated path of righteousness? Can you really withstand the process
of purification? Can you admit your weaknesses openly and show
(01:41:16):
the rest of the world your strength in overcoming your weaknesses?
Don't run from the problems that plague you. Expose them
and attack them. All of the weaknesses of your character
must be made manifested before the strengths of your character
can be made perfected.
Speaker 6 (01:41:30):
Have a great day. We'll see you tomorrow. Breakfast Club, bitches!
