He just read the whole thing. He loves it, but he won't write his own. He wanted to come from his perspective, because it was a journey between both of us. But this is more so from my perspective. So he can't wait to do it. But at first he was calling back at you. Yeah, at first he was acting like, oh yeah. Yeah, I'm a right mind. Like he happed up like it's a battle rap. You don't show him any sign of him. No, he wouldn't do that without telling me. Distract this bullet package you do without telling us? Oh my God! I mean, you told me about it. Oh my God. That would be fine. You know we got on the show. All right, Linux will be joining us this morning. Of course, she has a new album vacancy. I love the vacancy album. And she got the vacancy store tour starting in April. But I just enjoy talking to Ari.

Ari's one of those people that you know folks will see online and they might have a perception of her, right? Because of the things that she posts online and when she goes off on certain individuals and when she shares certain thoughts. Exactly. So when you sit down and have a conversation with her, she's a very pleasant person. That's what I'm saying. So I relate to her. That's what I be saying about me. No. You know, certain things online. And when you sit down and talk to me, you're like, oh damn. But you know it's so crazy. Ari, great. I always regret to that after she does it. So at some point, at some point, I stopped doing it. I stopped doing it. Oh, hi, yo. You going? Yeah, I'm really all right. Okay, all right. I'm in therapy. And I trick will be joining us. Trick Williams will be joining us. You know him from the WWE. Yes, sir. He'll be here. I didn't know it. Well, South Carolina's own. Hated University's own. First of all, stop, stop. The man is from Columbia, South Carolina. The 803 with the hamper for a couple of years. He went home to play for the University of South Carolina. But that's all I have to do. His first two years was at HU, the real HU. His first whole life was in Columbia.

That's a matter of fact. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I want to get there. South Carolina and Virginia. That's all right. So to the 757. So yeah, he'll be joining us this morning. Trick Williams. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. Mimi is here. What's up? Here's the last song that came on my playlist when I was driving in this morning. So I was like, you know what? Well, why not throw it back? Okay? Trilville. Never ever. And then when I pulled up, it was some craziness going on. That's right. It's like Taylor's moan. Okay. It's feel very appropriate. Well, let's get to it. Let me hear it. There we go. It's when you used to do cardio in the club for no reason. Why? It's the breakfast come in the morning. And the illest thing about this song. After ending this song, Lord John says, what? Just run around the mother f in club. And we used to literally just run around the mother f in club doing cardio in the club. Yeah, look at that. Look at stupid. Wait a second. But I bet it was the time. I bet it was the time. I bet it was the time. We really want to get into a fist fight with a person who runs around the club. Okay. Why do he on drugs? And common drinking. Yeah, he used to be a mosfet. And I would be just running into each other.

That's crazy. He's so stupid. That's great. No, it wasn't. It was amazing. It was never lie to these kids. It was amazing. And then as a DJ, if you wanted to end the club and you tie the DJ and you play that, or I don't give a f, ends the club right away. Oh, three or three six. Might be the head of the club. Those three records right here. People were fighting. They were shouting down. Yeah, lights on. Everybody go. I bet you won't hit them up. For hit them up. For hit them up. Oh, my goodness. That's great time. I'm doing it right now. He's so stupid. All right. Let's get in some front page news. Quick sports. Jason Tatum is expected to make his season debut with the Celtics tonight. Why have you rushing back? I don't get it. Now, this is just 10 months after tearing his writer, Kaley. So he will be playing tonight. Also, salute to LeBron James. Alec IOFFONI roundsick dream. I've do Jib你 Bo for most made, go z in N B A history from or our team, and they start the SEC tournament and they add 12 noon against the Kentucky Wildcat named the

in the federal government, the agency responsible for border security, immigration enforcement, and disaster response. Now, Noam, she had been under growing scrutiny in recent weeks facing tough questions from lawmakers during congressional hearings, and criticism over how parts of the department were being run behind the scenes, though, current and former officials say frustration inside the Homeland Security Department have been building for months with complaints about leadership decisions, internal disputes, and the influence of some of Noam's top advisors. But officials say there may have been one moment this week that may have helped seal her fate. So during the testimony before Congress this week, Noam told lawmakers that President Trump knew and approved a $220 million advertising campaign that encouraged migrants to self-deport. Let's listen to that. Sir, the president tasked me with getting the message out to the country and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from, with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally,

that they needed to leave, or we would detain them and remove them, and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. That has been extremely effective. Ask you to run these advertisements, is that right? We had that conversation, yes, before. I was put in this position and sworn in and confirmed and since then as well. $220 million in ads, what the hell did those ads run? Wow, I missed all of those. Yeah, I think I saw a few, like online. I don't think they, I don't know where they played, but I just saw a lot of ads. That's a lot of money. $220 million in ads. Everybody should have seen that. But that much money, right? Right. Well, apparently President Trump didn't see him either because he said that he had no idea what she was talking about and that he never signed off on that campaign. And so he says that now he plans to nominate Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen to take over the Department of Homeland Security, and Trump made the announcement on social media. He thanked Christy Known for her servicing. She will now move to a new role that's focused

on security across the Americas, Mullen though. He is a Trump ally. He was elected to the Senate in 2022. And he is also a former MMA fighter. Now during one of the more tense moments in Washington, he nearly got into a fight with a person who was there to testify. Let's listen to some of the moments from that. Quit the tough guy act and these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, cowboy. So this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth? We can be too consenting adults. We can finish it here. Okay, that's fine. Perfect. You want it now? I'd love to do it right now. We'll stain your butt up then. You'll stain your butt up. Oh, hold it. No, stop it. Say you're solution every time. You know, you're a United States senator. To act it up. OK, sit down, please. Why did it sound like Enzene? Stand your butt up. You stand your butt up. But let's do it. Let's just let him go. Like in hockey. Well, let him squabble, see what I'd be. What a relief for it, maybe. I don't know. Senator Bernie Sanders hadn't been there.

Who knows what would have happened to that? The old hate. How about those individuals? I'm pretty old. I would say somewhere mid-age. Even the 180s to fight the MMA kind of thing. The old, you know, somewhere over there. All in though, he would still need to be confirmed by the Senate. And so we'll continue to watch that. And if he confirmed, if he is confirmed, he would take over, of course, for Christy Knome. Her final day on the job is expected to be March 31st. And I told you all, Christy Knome was going to be the sacrificial lamb, man. A authoritarian regime is not loyal to anyone. Yeah, well, she didn't get fired. They just move around. So they'll never get fired. They just move around into other spots. That's it. Well, part of that, to me, seems like saving face a little bit. Absolutely. Yeah, you know. And President Donald Trump is warning Americans to prepare for the new realities of war as a conflict of, in Iran, continues to grow. The new interview with Time Magazine, Trump was asked whether people in the United States should be concerned about possible retaliation here at home. And his response was, I guess, Trump said the government plans for that possibility, but acknowledges

that when a country goes to war, there are risks. And people can die. Those comments come as a conflict in Iran escalates, following that joint attack with US in Israel, which continues to spread across the region. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister, he told NBC yesterday that his country is what is ready for whatever comes next. Let's listen. President Trump has not ruled out boots on the ground in Iran. Are you afraid of a US invasion in your country? No, we are ready for them. You are waiting for the US military to invade the ground troops? Yes. Because we are confident that we can confront them. And that would be a big disaster for them. But we were ready for this war even more than the previous war. And we are prepared for any other eventuality, even a ground invasion. And we know that we can handle that. Well, he also refused negotiations with the United States. I said, I run, has not asked for a ceasefire in America.

We may already be feeling the impact. Remember earlier this week, we talked about the gas prices, going up to about 30 cents. Well, I checked, and as of right now, as of yesterday, they've gone up 27 cents since Monday. So I don't know about gas prices, but I know them flights going up. Like, flights going up like crazy. Because the gas goes up. Yeah, man, this is wow. Plains got a gas up. Yeah, like flights they used to be at least like $400. I was looking for a round trip to Atlanta. It would be like $4,500. It's like $1,000 right now. Yeah, flight prices are going up. Gas and the house is going up. I know a lot of people are seeing high gas bills right now. Yeah, it is. And when it comes to, you know, Trump's talking about the realities of war. And saying that, you know, I ran, I was cranking on US oil. A lot of people feel like Trump wants something to happen on American soil. Because he's been on the hunt for some sort of emergency to exploit. So he could try to federalize the midterm elections in November. Yeah, a lot going on there. Too much. Too much, too much. So we'll continue to watch that.

And then in the next hour, we're going to talk Jeffrey Epstein and new release of documents that came out just yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Now everybody else, get it off your chest, 800-585-1051. If you need to vent phone lines or wide open, call us up right now. Mr. Breakfast Club, good morning. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wait. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed, sign the get up and get some call up now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, this. Good morning. Good morning. Big old. Big old entertainment. How you doing? What's up? Good morning. You did off your chest. Man, I can't call it. I haven't heard from you in a while. NB Charlotte, man. Everybody. Good morning. Listen. I got a quick question real quick. Yes, sir. Why do our melanated brothers wait to, wait, wait, last minute to get their body right? Why do they wait till they get sick to start working out? I'm almost 40.

I'm approaching 40 currently. And I'll be competing in my first bodybuilding show. I was 240 pounds. I'm down 187 pounds now. I don't want to put that on just melanated brothers, though, man. I mean, I think that you know, you know, you know, Betty and you do better. And that's just the human thing. Like a lot of people grow up in certain environments. And you know, we don't have the best habits. It ain't just a black thing. But you know, as you get older, you learn better habits. So you do better. And yeah, I have been on court in in a while. But I know me as big of especially in these, you know, we worked together. But also, if it's okay, I would love to give a shout out to the team at 803 Fitness and Columbia, South Carolina coach Justin, the whole team. Thank you for making this a reality. You know, man, stay with it too, man. That's another thing we do. We work out and we get lazy or something happens. And we don't get back with it. So to definitely stay with it, brother. Yeah. And real quick, last question for you guys. I want to know, as far as the ladies, could you date a man

that's a bodybuilder, that's discipline? Because it's a lot. You know, we can't eat certain stuff. You know what I'm saying? We can't go out here. The rest of the month, we can't drink. You know, we have to tell where you're barking and chicken breast all night. So you could go out. You just gotta watch what you eat. Like I know people that actually took their pre-prep meals to restaurants where everybody's eating. They still had a good time. And we crazy. Yeah, I'm done there. This man asked the ladies a question. Maybe click and wait the answer. Oh, I could date a bodybuilder. I couldn't wait the answer. Because man literally said, I got a question about the ladies. And you couldn't wait the answer. None of these questions was for him. Because the first question was for the melanated brothers. And then the second question was for the women. Oh, they stabbed me up and go. But let me answer. Yes, I don't see why a woman would not want to date a bodybuilder who's trying to, you know, get their body right. I mean, those diets are good too. She can learn something from that. Yeah, for sure. Then I also say like when you're eating that stuff or whatever, you know, with a woman specifically,

I'm like, look, you know, the keep this body. That's what I've got to do. I didn't see my abs in the last 20 years. Oh, cool. Look, it's good to be able to look down and see everything.

If you thought people would've put this thing on before the funeral, she's talking. When you put your seatbelt on before the funeral. Oh, God. Sure we got you. The queen has to let's get to the latest. The queen has spoken. Okay? She's clearing the conversation. What are we going to get into in the latest. Well, we're going to get to the latest. Don't go anywhere. It's a breakfast,好? You're talking a little kuber. I'm not dummy myself down. myself. I'm the hunger that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that. Take me through that. Where she gone? The latest with normal clothes. Take me through that. On a breakfast club. All out cool back. Talk, talk to me. All right, guys. So yesterday, Queen Latifa had to get online and post several videos.

She posted two to let people know that she is not dying, that she is okay. I see somebody that says you have done it. I didn't see that. Down. So yes, so first of all, I didn't see the like speculation rumors, whatever. Either I saw her video and it made me go look to see what was happening. So apparently there have been a hoax happening for about like two weeks now that there's a conversation about whether or not Queen Latifa had like this very rare type of like blood cancer. And it was supposed to be like, I saw like fake AI photos of her in a hospital bed holding a sign. Like, this is letting you guys know that I have this cancer. And then there were like these prayer lines and prayer streams and hashtags that we're going on. It was like, your algorithm is what I actually, I didn't see it. I went to go find it with Queen Latifa posted the video. I didn't see Queen posted the video because I wanted to know like why is she having a post is normally what celebrities do that is because outlets are reaching out to them. Hey, we saw this. Are you okay? So that's why you know that you have heard that statement of the dog box at the moon. It's nothing but if the moon box back at the dog. 100% because I didn't even hear none of this until right now.

Yes, well let's take a listen to the video that Queen Latifa posted yesterday. Come on in. It's me, it's not a question. I'm trying to turn it back. It's okay. I believe that you're going to be on the internet. We'll see if you can. Everything's not now, right? It's really cute. What sound like that because she had a music plan in the background. She was in a car. She had music plan in the background kind of loud. But she basically said I got to teach you how to take the music out the back where you can just hear her voice. I got to teach you because you can definitely be able to just hear her voice. Take the music out. I watched that video yesterday and I thought she would listen to the breakfast club. I was like, oh, she's going to hear that. And I listened for that. I didn't even hear none of that about. Yes. She's so low in the music. Yes. She posted the video. She says in the video, hey, it's Queen Latifa. I'm a-okay. Just showing y'all. I'm a-okay. And then she's like, you know, dancing a bit to the music. In the second video, she posted. She's smiling. And she's like, I'm good y'all. Like, I guess people were really concerned. And maybe because sometimes like I've done stories in the past where you see a hoax, you reach out to the team and they leave it alone.

But when their family members start picking up the phone and calling them, they cleared up so that everybody can calm down because it's affecting them like on the behind the scenes as well too. So maybe that was one of the reasons she posted as well. So was she sick or was she dealing with something? Because I remember like a few months ago, somebody called up. We had a caller during, get it off your chest. And he was asking like, yo, what's up with Queen? Like, what's up with Queen? Latifa, we need to make sure she's okay. She and I asked what do we need? Like, I remember he said he was from Baltimore from DC or something like that. And we was confused. Like, what do you mean? I don't know if any- I don't know if any conversation- No, she was just at the All-Star game. But I remember the call. So remember that day or that? Yeah, but when that caller, when that happened, remember we all were like, what? And then I think he corrected something. And we were like, yo, why would you do like a freak this out? But it was, it wasn't real. I don't even know what you're talking about. You weren't here that day. It was just us three hosts there. I don't even know. But it wasn't real though. But yeah, I don't know anything of her being sick. So I know she's a big health advocate. Right. Like I said, she just had the All-Star game with her child and watching the game. So maybe that was the hope to- Yeah. But I remember that call. She's fine. She's a great queen of T-Furr.

OK, so look to Queen of T-Furr. Queen, we sending you nothing but positive energy. Absolutely. Always. Love you, Queen of T-Furr. Well, somebody who is not so fine right now and is going to do some things, Britney Spears. So yesterday, Britney Spears, it was the news broke. That Britney Spears was arrested in California for a DUI. Police say that they pulled her over after her car was allegedly like swarving. And she was driving without a tail light. And when they pulled her over, she was, they alleged that she was under the influence. They took her to a hospital to do some blood testing to get an accurate number on her blood. Her ingesting template really soulmates. That's crazy stupid. That's what she was really saying when they gave us the body test, she started dancing. Well, no, they didn't do the, because well, they did try to get someone to come to the scene to do all that stuff. But I don't know if it because it was Britney Spears or just the blood test is normally a lot, it gives you more accurate details on what is in the system. So they took her right to the hospital. Now, I do have the police audio page six,

dropped the police audio yesterday of when they first pulled her over. And they say that they also found control substances in the car, which is a big issue for Britney Spears, especially because she recently got on that conservatorship a few years ago. Let's take a listen to the police audio. From all her CVs, I know that you've been wanting to see some of these last days you're out of braking and driving with their tail light. Before I thought you had been there, you've been out of the corner. Okay, that's my police. So in the area, from all of our units, I'm going to see when I see someone who went from Rachel Road of Lockheed to Beats. And it has a link in your CVs, now CVs. I'm going to tell you 60 of these. First of all, out of LA. Yeah, so you hear them talk about how she was serving to the point where they put a couple cars on her. It wasn't just police, one police car. When they took her to the hospital, they took her blood alcohol levels. Now, it's reported that the blood alcohol level may have come in at 0.06 within the legal limit is 0.08, but you can still be charged at some limits under that 0.08, but that's not confirmed yet. But, you know, Britney Spears right now could be potentially

facing a jail time behind this or rehabilitation. And you guys remember back in 2021, when she got out of her conservatorship, the big thing was, should she or should she not still have some type of like guardrails on her?

We know parents want to feel confident

as their teens navigate social media. With Instagram teen accounts, teens get automatic protections by default. Teens between the ages of 13 to 17 are automatically put into a protective experience. That means they get built in content settings for what they see, contact limits on who can contact them, and time management tools like daily time, limit reminders as well as sleep mode, which mute notification from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Plus teens under 16 need a parent's permission to change any of these settings to be less strict. Instagram continues to work on building new safety features to help create age-appropriate experiences for teens.

She was helping Wendy Williams when all of the movement was happening with Wendy Williams. Try to figure out her conservatorship issue. And I asked her, you know, do you think Wendy or Britney Spears should be let out? Should have been let out of her conservatorship. Let's take a listen to Gina. In your line of work, do you think that at this point with all these instances, Britney Spears should be completely out of a conservatorship? And that could be very controversial, right? Only because we kind of see her maybe quote-unquote spiraling. But how many people get pulled over for DUI? Right. It's not uncommon, right? We shouldn't think about restricting her and keeping her in this box just because she had this DUI. But this is a person who obviously is dealing maybe

with some mental issues. And I think when we talk about conservatorship and someone who needs help, you don't want to run to the conservative part because I'm sure that conservatorship has traumatized Britney. And that's what a point of a conservatorship is to protect the person. Yes, from themselves, basically, as long as it's the right person, you know, with the right group of people, it shouldn't be a problem. But the issue with Britney was that she had, I feel like there was too much constraints. Like she didn't have control over whether she kept kids or not, whether she could ever do music again. She was taking a bunch of medicines that she said that she didn't want to take. Her dad had control, she had like, she was like worth $60 million at the time. Her dad, Jamie, was in control of the money. And she was claiming that things were being done wrong with the money. So I think she did have some claims that I understood why they kind of released her a bit. But I don't think she should have just been let free. And there's been a lot of incidents since she's been out of the conservatorship, but like just a lot of different things. That's the stupid stuff online. Yeah, but when you're driving a vehicle

and you're intoxicated allegedly, I guess we could say allegedly, maybe not, but when you're driving a vehicle like that, yes, you should be watching the problem. We used to watch her dance online. I knew she was drunk. I knew it. Yes, man. She was just like that when I'm drunk. I dance just like that when I'm drunk. Do you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. She's like a chalien? Between a combination of Britney Spears, Bobby Smurder, and Bobby Brown when I get it. When I'm in charge of it. That didn't only take me much, baby. Oh, Bobby Brown, Bobby Brown. Oh, uh, younger Bobby. That's a lie. Well, at least in my mind, that's at least in my mind. Well, I take one shot at the killer. The whole world turned it to every little step. I take me. You hear me? Well, Britney has to go to court on May 4th. So there will be more developing here. We'll see what happens. It's a little to Genie Lisa. Genie Lisa. Monta Rosa. Monta Rosa. Yes, you know Lisa Monta Rosa. Shout out to her. And go listen to the latest with Lauren and Rosa the podcast. We did a full conversation about what probably will happen next with Britney Spears after all of this DUI conversation. OK, that's the latest. Now, Shalame. Yes, it's Friday. Yes, we do the people's donkey.

But you know, we got me even around front page news coming up next. But we do the people's donkey. So you get the opportunity to call up and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. 1-800-585-1051, it's the breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Jessalari and Shalame, the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get to some front page news. That's the quick sports. Jason Tatum is expected to make his season debut tonight with the Celtics. They were playing my Mavericks. Now, this is just 10 months after Terry is right. Why are you asking why? Because he told us ACOs. I mean, I know it's the out for a year, at least. At least, I mean, I know, you know, surgeries and technology and everything is better now. But why rush out? I'm rushing. Well, I guess they know what he's doing. He's been practicing with the team and the last thing. So they, then buses are naturally more tender. Watch your mouth. That's not true. That is the solution. It's like your sources. Hey, hey, hey. You know what I mean, too? These guys can't get it. Also, you know, have a high-dress over painter. What are you talking about? Why is the ACOs so weak, though? That part of the body need to be studied. The Achilles in a hamstring. Why is so weak?

These kids have been playing. They've been playing for just four, five years old on Achilles. You know, your body is... A lot of amazing things. That's the first thing to get messed up. I also, LeBron James, past cream. I've doed you ball for most made field goals in NBA history. So salute to LeBron. What's up, me, me? Good morning, NBA, Josh. I mean, how y'all doing? Hey, we're good. Good morning. So we're following new developments this morning in the case involving Jeffrey Epstein. So the Justice Department, it has now released three FBI interview memos that had not been made public before. They were missing from that large collection of Epstein documents released earlier this year. You know, Shar, we actually talked about this with Rep Rocana earlier this week. The newly released memos, they summarize the interviews with the woman who told investigators that Epstein repeatedly abused her when she was a teenager starting at around age 13. Now, in those later interviews, the woman also accuses Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her for decades, or decades ago, excuse me. According to the FBI summary, she said that Epstein once brought her to a tall building,

either in New York or New Jersey, while he introduced her to Trump, and she told investigators that Trump acts others to leave the room and he assaulted her. She said she fought back by biting him before she was removed from the room. She also told agents that she later over her Trump and Epstein discussing blackmailing people, and she heard him mentioning washing money through casinos. Now, in a third interview, the woman said she told investigators that she later received threatening phone calls, and she believes that they had maybe connected to Epstein or Trump, and she described the incidents where she said that she was nearly run off the road. And in a fourth interview, she told agents, she was uncomfortable continuing this line of questioning, and she asked, you know, what was the point of coming forward if statute of limitations had already passed? Now, these documents are known as FVI 302 memos, which summarize what witnesses tell investigators, they do not confirm whether the allegations are true. Lord have mercy, man, listen, how compromised is our president?

Because every time stuff like this leaks, it's because someone wants it out, and they leak it to let Trump know we got a lot on you, so do what we say. And I saw, I'll stay a crook. I think he pronounced his name. He's a former British diplomat. He was speaking on that yesterday. We got that clip? The former Israeli Mossad intelligence officer who now lives in Canada, and we're saying in a television interview just in the last day or so, and he was saying he was warning that if Trump does not bend to Netanyahu's views, he expects there to be more revelations of from Epstein in these coming days. He said that like two days ago. Now, look, we have more than, now tell you everything you need to know. Like the only question everybody should be asking is how do we stop this knowing that he's compromised. We have a president that is clearly compromised, so what are we gonna do about it? Well, the White House is calling the accusations completely basis, and they Trump says that he has repeatedly

denied any wrongdoing connected to Jeffery Usley. What is going to happen this weekend? Because we know whenever something from the Epstein files drops, he does some crazy, crazy, right? I won't even call it a distraction. He does what he's told to do. So what's going to happen this weekend? Well, let's brace ourselves, but today at the White House, envy, this is something we've been talking about. Some of the most powerful voices in college sports are gonna sit down and talk about one thing, money. So President Trump is hosting what is being called a college sports roundtable bringing together conference commissioners, university leaders, former coaches, big names from sports world, the Tiger Woods is on the list, Adam Silver, Nick Sabin is on the list, the conversations, it will center around NIL, which is name, image, and likeness, and the system, that's a system that allows college athletes to get paid for endorsements for sponsorships. Now the issue has exploded in recent years with star players, landing deals worth millions of dollars, but the president has made it clear that he believes

that that system is out of control, saying last year he said that he was gonna, or he signed an executive order called saving college sports, and among other things, it banned universities and boosters from paying athletes directly and called for new rules to limit what is known as pay for play deals, administration officials, they say the concern is that without guardrails, college sports could turn into an arms race where schools pour more and more money into recruiting star players, let's listen to what Trump had to say on this. I think the NIL is a disaster for sports. It's horrible for the Olympics, and I think it's actually horrible for the players. And you're losing all of these great sports, they're not college football, even basketball is being affected, basketball second. And I know something about it, they will not be able to stop. You're gonna have a college president. I'm telling you, sir, we give a guard, seven million dollars, we're gonna win the national championship, but they'll give them seven and they won't win it.

And even if they do win it, colleges cannot afford to be paying the kind of salaries that you're hearing about. Yes, they can. If their program is making all that money, right, because for years, colleges have been making all that guy their money, right? And if they're making that money, they should be paying the players. They're selling jersey, they're selling tickets, based off the players that are playing. And yes, if they can afford it and a player can get it, yes, they should be able to make money. Not a betting part. I don't like the betting part on college games. That bothers me, but NIL deals, yes. If they're worth it, they should be able to get it. They shouldn't just get a free education, for education is nice, but if they're bringing in millions and hundreds of millions of dollars to those universities a year, those colleges should be getting those, those players should be getting it. All the top schools can definitely afford to pay any players. The schools make billions of dollars. Yes, what are we talking about? Yeah, for sure. So it's still unclear what could actually come out of today's meetings, but lawmakers on Capitol Hill, they've been debating NIL deals for years, but so far, Congress has not passed a national law to regulate it, so we will continue to watch that. And today in Chicago, thousands of people are expected to gather to honor civil rights icon Jesse Jackson.

A public celebration of life will be held at the House of Hope on Chicago's Bar South Side, a massive church that can hold about 10,000 people. Now, several major leaders will be there. Former President Barack Obama, Joe Biden, they're all expected to speak. Also in attendance, first lady, Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among civil rights leaders, clergy, public officials, including Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters. They will also take part in the celebration of life today. That service will begin at 11 in gospel tributes from artists like BB Winons and Marvin Saap. And there will be a private home-going service for the Jackson family. That will be held tomorrow. All right. Rest in peace, Reverend Jesse Jackson. Absolutely. And really quickly, before we go, heads up for your sleep schedule this weekend. They like saving time is Sunday. So the clocks will spring forward at 2 a.m. So yes, we will lose an hour of sleep, but we will gain an extra hour of sunshine. All right.

Thank you, Mimi. I know you're dark-ass don't want no sunshine. Don't nobody want no sunshine. Don't want no sunshine. I just don't want to lose our sleep. Like, that's crazy. You're gonna come out, yeah. This is all right. When we come back, Ari Lennox will be joining us. Our album vacancy is out right now. We're going to be kicking it with Ari when we come back. So don't move, it's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Everybody is the E.J. N.V. Jessalariah. Shalom in the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. And all the rules is here as well. And we got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, Ari Lennox. Welcome back. All right. How do you feel? I feel great. Feeling good? How's your energy this morning? I'm amazing, yeah. How are you? Bless black and highly favored. Yes. Yes, me too. Yes. Vacancy is out right now. That's right. Yes, yes. Vacancy can mean a lot of things, right? OK. It can mean emptiness. Yep. It can mean opportunity. What exactly became vacant in your life that allowed this version of Ari Lennox to exist and create this project? I think it's just the repetitiveness of my dating life.

Yeah, the album encompasses a void that needs to be filled. And that can be romantic. It can be platonic. It can mean, you know, in a business way, it's just a metaphor for whatever that means to you, you know? Is it platonic? We got to be, let's figure this out for one more time. We're trying to say that. Is that platonic? I thought it was platonic my whole life. But I think biopic, biopic, biopic. You're still biopic, and it's supposed to be biopic, but it's depending on how you see it. The middle tomato. Can't be having us on your saying the wrong word. Wait, how is it supposed to be? Platonic. Platonic. Platonic. Yes. Oh, and you're the second person that you hate. All right. All right. All right. We're going to play. We're going to play this song. We're going to play this song. We're going to play this song. We're going to play this song. I love it. So on this project, you go in and out of your space, whether it's your heart, your physical space, your mind, your energy, being vacant, then being occupied, then not. It's all over the place. But it's a good journey. Thank you. So where are you in real life after this album in the dating world, like what, like, I mean,

I'm just alone, but it is 34 years of romantic loneliness, but it's cool. Oh, no, it's all right. I'm doing great. I'd rather be by myself than in anything toxic or unhealthy. So it is what it is. You know, I'm okay. I said you had a club turning up, though. I do turn up. Yeah. Yeah. What you think? Oh, my tea. You told Oh, how sketchy you said you be. You want your tea to come in. Exactly. And right here, I have this hot water. It's. I don't know if you had no damn tea in the club. That night, boy. He'd be turning up. When? Oh, when you saw me. Years ago. Yeah, yeah. Years ago. So last year. She's a last year. I was recently. Oh, yeah. I had my hookah. Yeah. I stopped. I had to stop, though. Yeah. I made a pack of it. No, it's okay. It's okay. I mean, last year I wasn't singing, but this year I am. So we got a tour coming up, you know, the vacancy tour starts April 12th. So yeah, I want to be vocally prepared for it.

So no more hookah for me, but you're still in your sobriety journey, right? Absolutely. But you said you made a pack with a man. That's what made you stop the hookah. I made it. I made you say he was horrible. He was trifling. He had a secret girlfriend or he had a girlfriend. I guess I was the secret. And I had no idea. And I haven't spoke to him since once he told me so you don't like it. You never liked the escape song. You're my little secret. You couldn't be a secret. I do love that song. I love escape. So yeah, I could not be a secret. No, but I do love that song. They were singing. Oh, somebody want to keep you a secret. Yeah. I know. I know. I think it just speaks to the state of dating out here. It's just incredibly depressing. I feel like for everybody, you know, so that's what it is. Are there songs on this project about how I know that you've been working on it for some time? From the hell? Hell no. Okay, because under the moon talks about somebody that's a big, could be a big toxic. Yeah, that was someone else. Oh, that was one of my exes. And I don't even know if he counts as an ex. It was like a month-long relationship.

It counts. So it counts. Really? Well, it depends. All right now. Do you feel that you had a connexion? Oh my God. Jesus. Like, thank you. Fresh face. Thank you. Beautiful. In your air. Thank you. Don't look confused. I don't know. I didn't say anything. Well, here's just looking at me. That's kind of confused. Yeah. Thank you so much. No, that depends, right? Did you have a strong connection with him? Do you feel like you loved him? Because a month can, you know, a month can be short to some people, but that could mean a long time. It's not about the time. It's about how you connect it with him, how you made you feel. Yeah, no. I don't feel like I loved him. I don't think it was because I think in order to love someone, you have to accept them for all that they are. Yeah. And I feel like we did not accept each other for our true ourselves and for that reason. I don't believe it was love at all. Probably just infatuation, which I said is just that repetitive theme. I think there were a lot of secure energies that entered my life that I wasn't ready for.

And now they're getting married, all these secure people that I like, I didn't under, I didn't recognize that safety like in them then. I think because there's so much chaos inside of me, but I'm working through it. I have my therapist and I'm a lot more aware of it now. Those red flags and things of that nature. Do you love fast? I'm sorry. Obviously do you love fast? Do you like trust fast when it comes to dating? I do. I do. But I don't think it's love. It's like trauma or something. I think or a kink, some type of like love kink. I think I have that because I'll be quick to be like, oh yeah, I love you. But it's like we're f***ed. So it's like, like of course I do right now. It's nice. The sex is really nice. And sometimes that can be just a little misleading, a little confusing. The emotions are high. And I think just in general, my emotions run extremely high. So I tend to romanticize and exaggerate things. Why can't you just love sex? Like if somebody flips you and folds you and puts you in the pressure.

I love it. I love it. Thank you. Why can't you just love the physical act? Like why does it have to be anything else? Yeah, you're right. I can love it. But I think a part of sex for me is a very passionate thing and it's just ironic because a lot of the times it isn't or it hasn't been in my past very passionate and like, yeah. I think, yeah, all my relationships were kind of just surfaced for real. Yeah. Do you want to be in love clearly? I do. I do. Do you think you've ever been? No. No. I thought so. But no. I don't think I have. Now that I know what it means to be because it's a choice every day. I don't think I ever made that choice every day in those relationships. You're in therapy, right? Yeah. I go to therapy a lot as well. Therapists will often tell you that your first last and best love is self-love. Like you can't love anybody else until you truly love yourself. Do you think that has been part of the reason?

Absolutely. My therapist is amazing. She has me doing these exercises every morning where I have to look at myself in the mirror and that's like so hard. Like I'm speaking to myself and I like who am I? And so it's been helpful, but it's definitely been an exercise that I avoid. I think it's just, it's hard, honestly, to face myself, but I'm getting closer. And it's amazing how long therapy has happened. She's been telling me that I need to read this book called The Courage to Trust and I've been avoiding it. And it's just, I know I could be so much farther in my journey. It's funny that I'm just prolonging healing in that way. But yeah, one day I'll read it. One day I'll be able to breeze through that mirror exercise. Yeah. So those are ways that I'm like practicing self love slowly, facing myself and learning who I am. I feel like you learned something new about yourself in every relationship that you work

with. Yes. Yes. My last one definitely taught me to figure out what the hell is going on inside of me. You like, I realized, oh, okay, I have an anxious attachment style. And then I realized, oh, I'm also avoiding it. This is, this has been this battle that I've been facing. And I think until I heal that more, I don't think I'll be able to dig deeper in a relationship. I think that's always going to be that block. Yeah. Yeah. That's so interesting because when I listen to your music, I hear a self awareness. Right. Right. I knew, you know what I mean? At least, at least that you're comfortable with what it is that you're doing. Okay. You know what I mean? And who you're doing it with. That's what I get from it. What you mean? And so, you're confused about me having trust issues, are you saying? Yeah. Because I feel like you got to trust yourself enough to even be able to be able to even move like that. Yeah. Well, the music that you make, that's easy.

The music that you make it like, it resonates with women, like navigating self-worth and growth and love. So it is kind of hard to hear you say here and say like the opposite. You know, like it's hard for you to find love or, you know, something like that or just everything that you feel like you said is inside of you. I don't feel it in your music. Oh, wow. I feel like, oh, you got it all together. This girl is, you make me want to go tell a f*** you, you know what I'm saying? Wow. Because you know your worth. You know what you want and you know what you will stand for and what you want in a relationship. Yeah. That's what I get from your music. That's why that's me too. I know my worth. And when it's time to go, I'm definitely, you know, I block. And I, you know, delete that thread and cut people off. But, but yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm doing all right. Yeah. And you're a press release for a vacancy. One of the lines I wrote down was Arseneu album Vacancy Signals, a sophisticated new chapter defined by creative, autonomy, confidence, and growth.

And I feel like Shay Butterbaby was that. I felt like all of the projects are that so in this process took you three, it was three years before vacancy. Three years. Yeah. I didn't feel like it was done. So I'm sure I stressed out the label, my management, shout out to Jaha and Justin. I know I stressed them out, but I knew the album wasn't done. And thank God everyone dragged me for like my singles. It kind of encouraged me to let me get back to the studio, make some more soul music, make some more pop-leaning music and just, yeah. And then I knew I was, I felt relief. I knew it was time. Okay. And I'm really proud. It's a good album. It's a great album. And it does feel like a, it feels like a reset, you know, musically and personally. Yeah. So did leaving Dreamville create that freedom? Or were you already evolving and just needed space to show it? Let me see. No, I, I feel like I've, that's the beauty about Dreamville.

They've always created that atmosphere of just like follow your heart, do what you want to do. And so it was, it's always been beautiful. Like I've always had that creative freedom and an inner scope is really amazing with supporting me in that too. Like they've never pushed me to do anything that I didn't want to do. Same thing with Dreamville. So it's always been like beautiful, really healthy, you know. When did you know it was time to leave Dreamville? We've heard you complain for years and how you wanted to be independent, what you want to do on yourself. When did you know it was the right time? I think, you know, it's just a feeling. I think after when my song Smoke Dropped, it just felt like we weren't aligned and it's not there for all. I don't know what happened. I think perhaps they didn't know like the date of it or something. And I think as it dropped, it was just, I could feel like there was no marketing behind it. And I mean, that wasn't a feeling. You were right. I vocally said that I never felt like they supported you.

Oh, I do feel like they supported me overall. Like I don't believe that I would have gotten this far without them. Well, Jay Cole was the greatest co-sign I could have ever had as a kneel soul artist, people sleep on our genre so incredibly. So he changed my life and introduced me to people that probably might not have received me the same if they heard me outside of, you know, his camp. So the marketing overall, I like, I was incredible. But honestly, I think they were in the middle of a deal separating Dreamville from Interscope. And I think that's what I was feeling at the time. And that's why they were unable to really hone in on what's going on at. I think over the years also, I have to take accountability with a lot of just my little things on the internet with just speaking up about different things. I think probably created some tension for sure when you asked me a guy about the label. You know, not even the label, just like, just a little things like...

Well, somebody would have a Martin fan and they didn't like your... No, not even Martin. I don't even think they could have done that. So around the time that smoke dropped, you had posted online that you were exhausted by Dreamville that you were tired of people treating you like you were to face a mental health, you're okay, you're happy. But they're not marketing you well, they're not protecting you, you wish labels knew how to do that. I felt that way about Interscope too. It wasn't just all Dreamville. Interscope has really, they've really shown me a lot of love and support and things of that nature. And I think it just was a really emotional time for me. And I think I was a, I have regretted honestly. I feel like I should have never taken it to the internet, um, internet, but like, you know, I do want to apologize to Jay Cole. I've been, I sent him a message on Instagram, I sent him a voice note, I'm a little afraid to give him a call. I do apologize. Um, yeah, yeah, I love that. Jay Cole got something that none of those exes got. Oh, you know, well, they want to serve a quality.

But it was never, Cole, Cole was never the issue. I think it just was literally like a marketing thing in it, but it is what it is. See, for me, I, and I'm sure you know, so you're right. So I guess just on the outside looking and you're like, well, Dan Cole, why don't you stand next to, next to somebody like that more often. Well, regarding you little artists, because that can help with marketing a lot. He, this man, um, flew all the way to London for me. I, I was performing, I mean, it was beautiful time. Sold out two nights. I forgot the venue, but it was beautiful and it was massive. This man surprised me as I'm performing Shay Butter, baby. And I cried like a baby. I sounded like a walrus.

And then I don't believe I was just scared about like there's a lot of things that I wish

I just talked to him about before taking it to the internet. So I really feel like those things created that tension. They respond. Yeah. He did respond to the way he did respond and you still didn't call. Come on. That's right. But that's why that's why I apologize. If you want to share with it, when he responded with it, he said, because he's normally very like warm and confident when he talks about you. Yeah. He said he wished I called him. So yeah, you feel like a harvest personality is just as important as their talent. Ah, I do and I feel like it can be damaging. If you're too honest, too open, too opinionated. Yeah, there are things I wish I never opened up about online. But you know, you get one life and I hate to regret anything at 80. Like I should have said this should have did this. This person should have, um, I don't always come back to know because they can see my album is sexy as hell.

We're going to figure out, yeah, it's a good sex. The best sex is all the part of that. Yeah. Yeah. We're manifesting because I haven't sex. It's been three years. Oh, so you're selling it to you. So you're wanting somebody to sell them as well. Good. Yeah. Well, actually, I did have a, ah, I shouldn't have said. I didn't want to lie. Well, it was almost three years. Okay. Well, no, it was three years. It was, it could have been longer. But yeah, oh, you're liar. No, I'm not a liar. That's why I had to. That's why I had to clean that up. You had to. I don't want my mom to know. Oh, she was. Yeah. It was just a little moment. So I want to ask you no more questions about it. Actually, it was all right. She said she want to ask you no more questions about it. No, you can't. Okay, great. So what? Because when people say that they've been sell a bit for like three years, five years, I'm like, how do you not run into like instances of just like the feeling of like wanting to masturbate at all? Oh, no, I do that every night. But she's not about to change.

Yeah, but I thought, but, but because there are certain levels of celibacy, like I know people who have celibates to the point where they're not even trying to do. No, I could never go that long without doing that. And I feel like my whole down there would completely change. Like completely collapse. So if I didn't make sure she was good. So what was the running you had that almost like messed it all up or kind of set you back? You said it was. Why don't think it set me back? I feel like I needed to get that energy off me. I feel like I was really becoming decrepit a bit and like, and just, I just was two. I just felt in my energy. My energy was exuding prudeness. And honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. And I feel like celibacy is a beautiful thing. But me personally, I just needed a nice restart of, and so yeah, now we back. So, who was the clock at now? What do you mean in general? Like once you reset. Oh, um, mom was watching your mom was watching. Why do you want to know that?

You don't know that. That's it. I don't know. I don't have to answer that. Oh, clearly, I didn't. Now, listen, every time that we've had conversations, you know, on this area, I'm like, oh, she's such a nice person. Like she got such a new personality, right? But if you just see what you do online, you think all she does is complain. Like, we can't even watch Martin without her complaining. No, please watch Martin. Let's watch Martin. Yes, we absolutely can. No, I can't. Break down the Martin thing. Because people were upset about who the bottom responded to that. I know. And it meant the world to me because he was so gentle and there's response. And oh, I didn't expect that. I actually tried. I don't know, did she? Did she know how to respond it to? She did. She did respond. Oh, you cried when Martin responded. I did cry. I did. Yeah. Because I, you know, he didn't have to respond so beautifully the way that he did. And I didn't feel it was invalidating, you know what I'm saying?

But he was also, you know, true to himself. And I respect that completely. As a big fan of him, it meant the world to me. Because he's a legendary comedian. He could have dragged me to hell. So along with the world from down the street from us. Exactly. It was heartbreaking. It was a heavy time for me because I felt like I isolated myself from every black person in the world. So like I, I was ruminating heavy. But luckily the album like pulled me out of the dumps and therapy and things of that nature, um, yeah. You talking about therapists about it? Oh, yeah. Is she culturally competent enough to understand Martin? Oh, yeah. I'm sure she, she loves it. Yeah, yeah. I don't have a black therapist. Yeah, I'm a black therapist. She's lovely, beautiful, beautiful, natural hair. She's great. Yeah. The most interesting thing that we're going to witness about you is how you get better with time. Absolutely. Like I can see it.

I'm going to have a farm. 34. What? I have cows and llamas and camels and kangaroo. Really? Really? Yeah. No, my mom likes it. Her husband is Mexican. And black at the same time. I love Mexican men. Oh my. Thank you. Why is I going to lose my wife? Yes. I would love to date. Like you're totally like six, three. That's amazing. Is, are you being trifled? You don't know. Just both of them think very much about being trifled. Oh, yes. I'm so happy about you. I can't wait to see 44 year old. Oh, thank you.

Have you enjoyed the super walls what you're trying to do? I did enjoy. OK. Have you met them? Honestly, I didn't watch it. I lied. I'm sorry. Why are you all doing that? At the DMB, they loved them. But no more reason to love them. OK. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Exactly. You know, she's got it. She's waiting for the s**t in. Get it. What are you doing? There's Ari Lennox. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get right to the latest. Why don't you come on a straight path? Tell her. Did you get somebody to get noticed? Some back, some back. Did you get to detail? I'm not homegrown. I know it's a little bit about everything. She'll be having the latest on this. I'm the biggest. The largest.

The largest with Lauren La Rosa. I can't imagine that you can't do that. Uh-oh. I'm a little bit everything. What? Did you buy top top wall on the Breakfast Club? Top top to me. All right, guys. So Terrence Howard is making headlines again around Iron Man. So you guys remember a few months ago. It was some time ago now. We talked about this because he at Terrence Howard sat down with Joe Rogan. And he had talked about how he felt like Terrence Robert Downey Jr. didn't help him when he was losing out on Iron Man 2. He said he called him 27 times and there was like money issues. And it feels like he was pushed out of the franchise. But now he sat down on a PBD podcast. And he talked about his potential temper. Being a reason why he feels like he lost out on Iron Man as well. Let's take a listen. I'm doing the brave one. And we're at the Venice Film Festival. And some reporter out of nowhere gas lights me. It's like, why isn't your name above the titles with Jody? So I started making calls.

And then Joe Silver came and had a conversation with me. It's like the reason your name isn't above the titles. It's because you're not the star of this thing. It's Jody. And if you win, if you get nominated for an Oscar, it's going to be for supporting actors. It's not going to be for best actor. And I was like, okay, thank you for telling me that. Now I understand. But you have to remember, I'm a man just like you. And if you ever talk to me in that way again, I'm going to knock you teeth out your mouth. You said that. This is what I said. And then I have to fly back on the private flight with him. And Susan Downey is his producing partner on it. And then maybe eight months later, I lose Iron Man. Now, this is being reported, you know, as like, you know, his temper, his anger. There's the reason why he lost out. And he talks about Denzel Washington having a conversation with him about some of the things that he was losing out on. But that listing on the call sheet and supporting actor versus best actor. We have an conversation with black male leads. That's going to trigger him. And not that I'm saying that he was right, but it's going to trigger him because that's always been a conversation about supporting

versus just best male when it comes to black female and male actors. Yeah. But let's take a listen because he talks about how he got some advice from Denzel Washington on some of the issues he was having when it came to losing out on roles. I had a meeting with Denzel once and he told me he was like, look at your hands, man. You're always like this. You fist all bald up. He said, and all these producers want to do is they trying to open your hand and so they can put money in it. But you won't do it. You keep your hands all tight like this and you're blowing it. And this is 20 years ago. Yeah. So I mean, there's always been a conversation. I mean, because Tarrantower has done some big things. But I've had heard conversations where people feel like there should have been more Tarrantower everywhere. And now people are pointing to this like, okay, here's the reason why I've heard the whole conversation. Is he having this conversation because he wants to have he's having accountability? Or like what is it? I feel like it was accountability. Like when I was watching it, I felt like there was accountability in it. I feel like he was providing more insight because the Ironman to conversation. It goes with him everywhere. But he's just talking about his life and some of the things he's experienced.

And they say he didn't get to because he threatened to produce it, right? And that's what they're saying. Yeah, he told them that he got because of that. But that wasn't the producer of Ironman. That was. That was the producer of the brave one. The old civil Joe silver. Yeah. But he brings in. But he mentions Robert Downey's Robert Downey Jr's wife. Again, who did work on Ironman? I believe her name is. Oh, as she said, he said they were production parts. Yeah. So they were all together somewhere. And then he had a conversation with that man and told him if you ever say this to me again, he did threaten. But just because Joel told him that you're not the star to film. Yeah. You threatened him. That's kind of nice. All I'm saying is that, you know, I think, you know, there's a slippery slope of him. I think he felt like he was being like played with a little bit. Yeah, try it a little bit. And obviously, he must have been already feeling away about whatever was happening in the Ironman universe because remember, he was trying to say a while ago that he feels like he helped Robert Downey Jr. And then when he was asking for the same money or at least goes to the same money, he got pushed out of the franchise. And then they brought John.

What about Ironman? This is about the movie, a brave one that they would promote. I'm not for sure. It could have been a guy's tone. You know what I'm saying? This is my first time ever. Not for sure. But there were other parts of the conversation that I thought were really good as well too. So you guys remember? I don't know how to conversation. It's pretty long, but it's a good one. You guys remember when Beyonce did the cater to you moment and he was on stage. So he reveals in this interview that him and Beyonce used to date and he thinks that that's why she brought him on stage. Let's take a listen. I had a chance to date Beyonce, you know, early on and we had a conversation and I ended up talking to the other girl inside of, you know, Destiny, the girl with the blue eyes. And I remember Beyonce looking over at me and I think that's why she picked me to do that dance when she did this, you know, they're kind of stripped T's dance that we did at the B T's or whatever to show me what I lost, what I, but I had, I was attracted. There was a moment in which I felt something there with Beyonce. Yeah, but that was long before she was with Jay-Z.

That was very, very long ago. Who would have blue eyes? I wouldn't have any. Yeah, because I went and looked and I don't know, it was Latoya, Latavia, Kelly and Beyonce. I don't remember. I never made it that far. Unless they had on contacts one day. I don't know. I don't remember none of the children of Destiny with blue eyes. Yeah. Yeah, it was this because you mean, he's a lot older, he's 12 13 years older than Beyonce. He's a lot older than Beyonce. He's a lot older than you is a lot older than Beyonce. He said what year was it that he had the dating situation? Yeah. I don't know. He didn't clarify, but it was obviously before she put them on stage because before the B T it was. It was. Yeah. Well yeah, it was there. It was the you have all these numbers ready? Yeah. You were fan, bro. Yeah, he was a real fan. One of them, one of them. I was curious. No, I was scared. I was scared. I was scared. I was scared. Yeah. 2005. Whoa, so that was what 20 years ago? I mean, that was the cater to you. You're gonna be building a case over there. I'm just asking the question. I'm confused. I'm just asking the question. I'm like, God, I'm gonna be a champion. I mean, I shouldn't have played that one. So, I'm crazy. All right, you played.

I'm just asking the question. I'm asking the question to everybody else is asking. Sorry, I didn't even know that happened. I didn't know they had a chance to date. I didn't know they dated. I remember the cater to you, Mom, but I didn't know they dated. I'm fine. Listen, I also don't know a member of Destiny's Shower Blue Eyes. But as we wrap, I want to mention, so earlier today, I told you guys that we did a full deep dive interview on the latest Lauren LaRose at the podcast with Gina Lisa Montererozio, who is a conservatorship expert. Now we talked about Britney Spears here and we talked about like safeguards, right? So I want you guys to go and take a listen to that interview. Another thing we talk about is the fact that Britney Spears, right after she got all that money for selling her masters, she fired a ton of people around her including some sobriety coaches, security. So now the conversation is what is going to be the punishment? Should it be jail? Should it be rehabilitation? Like a mental wellness place or drug rehab? So we get into all of that on the podcast, so make sure you guys go take a listen. Wanted to remind you of that. And that top dog law, no accident, bigger, small sponsors, this segment. So.

And also, Happy Birthday to Harry at some and she would have been 106 and also Happy Birthday to Shaquille O'Neal. Shaquille O'Neal. What up Shaquille? And just to put it out there, Jay, and turns out what is the same. So just put out that I do not know where you do. What are you doing? I'm not doing that. I just want to clear it out. What is this? You think I'm gonna see what I'm gonna do to this? Not a Sandy birthday. You know what? I'm not. It was 23 and 2005. That's what I was confused about. It be your you're putting two moments together. I was right. He said, he is. He is. He is. He is. He is before. Why? I was just asking the question. He is in. He dated her way before. J.Z. But that. I was just asking one with the BET.

I'm talking about the struggle between you. She has her own individual company. So I worked for her and because I didn't, I guess, load of yourself.

I told her I was, because it was a lady who paid her. And I told her, she don't get her. I really haven't seen her. I'm going to tell you that you need a hurry up and get these. Get these folks about your house. So she let me go. I don't get it when they're here from making her bags and every week. I had to hurry up and get a job and get back on my feet. But I said the struggle is real. The struggle is real. Damn. So why are you giving her a donkey today again? Just because she fired you? No. No. I did. You have to pay me if it's two months now. Oh, you left because she hasn't paid you. OK. I get it. I get it. OK. All right. Damn. You need to call a top dog law. I even call a ****. But they may need to go for a smile of a person.

Ain't no such thing as small. $1,000 is $1,000. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's been to me.

But who do you want to give it to Denise? I definitely honestly. Trump. Okay. Okay. The floor is yours. Yeah. My son just made the decision to go to the military. Oh, Lord. You know, it's just, you know, Devin and me liter. I'm military rat. Warner reo. He has to. All three of my kids are. So the last thing as a parent he want to hear is, ah, don't let your child go to the military right now. I want to see you're wanting to hear it. Cause he's not doing what he's going to do. He's not going to. You're a young man. He's going to map a film. I'm happy with that. But it's scary. 100% in this man. And 10% in the fact that you know you're going to fight for a war that you really don't even know what you're going to do. really don't even know what you're fighting for. You know what that means? Oh, exactly. We know for the fight for the land that they want to open.

Who do you want to get the biggest e-har too? And I want to get it to my GM, man. The monster month, he wanted to listen to it. He gave me a survey. He brought HR in there and tried to bring him on. I loved the two-watt him or I was so out because of his survey. And he's been wanting to listen to his listeners. And after so many months, they ain't enough fire. Nobody listens to this. a company. Well, what's her name? I'm trying to tell her. I know what's in there, man. I'm that's all I'm going to give up a neck. So that got fired because she wasn't listening to her team, basically.

Basically, yeah, her, her, her, her whole team and, you know, it's a good company and you think it's a good thing, but she just was running and crazy. She worked for as long as I was, but you can just let me know that. That's my goal, even on the weekday, and I feel, you know, about two, three, seven, eight, four, he's down. He's like, yeah, he got to get a part of it. The most important thing that you can do when you're in a leadership position in a company is listen to your team. Like you can never, you know, you know, be feel so high up or I feel so disconnected from your team that all you listen to is the suits because the suits can stay you wrong every single time. The people on the ground that are actually doing the work and tell you exactly what you need to be doing to keep the ship afloat. Absolutely. That's pretty much why she wasn't listening to her team at all. Damn. Well, sorry to hear that a minute. Hope you're doing okay. Thank you for calling, brother.

So how did you get in the wrestling man? How did this wrestling thing come about? But you started with football. So how'd you get in the wrestling? Right, man, it was accident. So like you said, I started Hampton University transfer to South Carolina. They had a bridge stand with the Philadelphia Eagles, where I went to camp. Then long story short, I got cut from the Philadelphia Eagles and trying to figure out what was next for my life. I had an agent who actually got me trying to give me some more trials and everything. They got me hooked up with the XFL. I think it was just a blessing because I never played for the XFL. As soon as they sent my information there, WWE reached out to me and said, are you interested in coming in for a trial? So they reached out to you. So did you have wrestling background? Or did you ever do anything with wrestling? Never wrestled in my life. I was a fan. You know, at three years old, I opened the can of what fast. I just don't call Steve Austin. So like I was always a fan. I watched it. But I never thought about actually wrestling.

Like just didn't know what's the opportunity. So then you have to learn how to wrestle, right? Because it's not just one of the things you can just go slap somebody, just open up a can of what fast. When they reached out to you, was there a training process? It was a program. What breakdown? What happened? What got you into your first belt? Exactly. They brought me to Orlando. I tried out and they said, yo, you got charisma. You got a good look and everything. How do you try out if you never wrestled before? I mean, that's a good question, DJ. Let me tell you. So for 20 years, I played football. Where if you get a football, you stay on your feet. Very physical sport. A very physical sport. My first day had become a WWE superstar. You learn how to fall, bump, cartwheel, flip, all this other stuff. So it wasn't natural to me. Like I wasn't gymnast. I'm still not gymnast. So they didn't sign me. So I had to move to Philadelphia. Back to Philadelphia. I stayed with my uncle. And I trained. I wrestled. COVID broke out. I stayed on the independent scene. You know, you can think about some similar to comedy or something like that. You know, before you make it big and you know, you got your own shows and you want to wiling out and stuff like that.

You know, you're in the Indies. You make a name for yourself. So I had to do that first. Uh-oh. Do you feel pressure to represent like Black culture and wrestling? Or do you just show up and be yourself and let everything play out? Yeah, man. I can't be anything else. Damn black, you know what I mean? I can't change my skin. You know what I mean? I'm raised how I was raised. And I feel like the better I do in this field, the better it is for, you know, people who look like me, period. But you know, this is who I am. I can't change it. How difficult was it to learn wrestling and into falling and whatever wrestling is? How difficult was that? It takes years. It takes years because, you know, playing football is about getting the job done. Catching the touchdown, making the tackle, etc. Wrestling's everything. You know what I mean? We grab microphones. We tall trash. You know, we got to look good. We got to know our camera angles. We got to feed to the cameras. We got to do this. We got to do that. You got to be the ultimate showman. So be good at the craft. And a lot of people think that it's fake. You know, obviously, whatever. But like, it's, it's real.

Like, you're really getting hurt. Yeah, yeah. I mean, my neck hurt right now. But, you know, the way I got pictures like this. Okay, yes, there's a script attached to it. You know, it's predetermined. But, you know, y'all got scripts right now of running a computer screen. In fact, football. Well, questions, not scripts. You know, but we do, you know, we prepare. You know, if it's football, you got, you know, a playbook. That's what you got placed. The beauty's not in the script. It's in the execution. Intrigue Williams is the best executor. So that's why I always wonder what's the psychology behind getting 10,000 people to change your name. So there might be a little scripted, but the crowd reaction got to be real. Right, right, right. And that's the beauty of it. Because some people do their jobs so well. You know, I mean, there's something about him. The way he walks out, he just got that swag. Or, or something about her. You know, I mean, they like the way she look. It could be her smile. It could be the way, you know, the wind blow that day. Like, you never know what it is. Some people just add good at the crowd. And they y'all know what that trick when you coming out and like, they having a party when you walk out.

It's a movement. It's an old movement with that. Yeah, man, it was, it was a blessing. You know, I mean, I started at NXT where the crowd just adopted that. You know, my name being Tric Williams. A birth name being matric, you know, Tric was a nickname. So it just, it fit. And what that trick fit with Tric and it took off. Well, of course, she does that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she does. She does. When did you know what she does, too? When did you know it was going to work? Like, when was that time? He was like, oh, they really catching on. You remember that match? Yeah, I would say, um, so at NXT, we're in front of a set audience in Orlando. And we barely leave the house, like 400, 500 fans. And they started chanting what that trick there, which is cool. Like, we're in the same crowd, you know what I mean? You don't really know how the world feels about you. Then we went all the way to California and in front of 5,000. And the what that trick chance was crazy. I won my first title. I beat Dominic Pisterio, Ray Mysterio, son. And that's when we knew, like, okay, this movement is something crazy. And it hasn't slowed down since.

The WWE call you at that time, but like, hey, we got to talk. We got to get some things. But they call you when they start hearing it? No, no, that's not how Shawn Michaels operate. You know, when you start succeeding, I nod you in the high seat. You know what I mean? It's like, once you get your first album, you know, and it hit, you know, now the pressure's on. Because now you got to follow up, you got to be able to, you know what I mean, you got to meet that pressure or everything that comes with that. So once the people get behind you, that's when the hard work really starts. You in the high seat. That different is, how different is the wrestler metric? I mean, no, you're metric from the wrestler, trick Williams. It depends who you ask. Like, people from high school, they'd be like, oh, that's who he is. Like, he always been like that. But I just turned it up when the red lights on. You know what I mean? I talk mode trash. I mean, you don't walk around life. Just pimps, laughing people and talking trash. You know what I'm saying? It has to be a reason for it, you know what I mean? But like, you got to be able to feel this true emotions on the inside somewhere to, you know, make it feel real when it's, when the camera on. What do you want to do? Keena.

Oh, you want to Keena? Okay, okay, so Keena high school. All right, so you really grew up in Columbia? I'm right there. Right there in my family from St. Matthews. We love country, yeah. All right. Do you want your fiancee, Lash, the legend, both of you guys made it to the main roster. And that's all you're talking about. How like, that was like a cheat code. Because y'all getting a child of the world and do all these things. So what's that been like? It's been amazing, man. You know, she with me all the time. When I say all the time, all the time. So, you know, and you know, it just, it helped you feel a little bit more supported. You know, when you end these foreign rooms when you're dealing with people who are different than yourself, you know what I'm saying? Like, I know my lady right with me. You know, regardless of how I go, regardless, you know, how they be on SmackDown. She go, I'm good. My lady, you know, she here. So we, we, we make sure that we confident and we prepare to go put on the best show. Anybody run into the y'all house? That's the worst house ever. Yeah. And look, man. And people say like, oh, they be nervous. They want to make sure that they partner does well when they perform and everything. My fiance, she's six foot, you know what I'm saying? When I five, two hundred, like basketball, you know, MVP,

you know, Seattle storm, all that. So I'll be nervous for her. I'd be nervous for everybody. She and the ring with, you know what I mean? She like to fight. Even Jade. Jade, don't want that. Jade, look, I respect Jade. And you know, she from, you know, she cool people, but it's only one last. Mm-hmm. Is it challenging working with your fiancee too? Do you find any challenges with it? I know y'all are supportive of each other, but you know, you're still together. Yeah, I would, I would take these challenges over the other challenges. I got you. Yeah, I've not seen each other because we never home. So like, if, if she was at the crib but was doing something else, then it'd be difficult. How did you meet? In the business. In the business. Yeah, a lot of wrestlers, date wrestlers. You know, that's just how it is. Like, you date where you at, you know, you know, that's a lot of another story. I don't know. We got time for that. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? So, all right, let's talk about it. Okay. Okay, sure. You know, so, you know, we had the PC. That's what we call where we trained. The performance center. And you know, it's just people from college, people from different backgrounds, people from,

you know, what we call the Indies. Like I said before, football players, basketball players, all this sort. And I say 90% of people come in in a relationship. Two months in, I'll say, there's about 5% of them still in that relationship because that's just how the business is. Like once you in it, it's like a whole another world. And if you're not in it, a lot of people just don't understand. Like what you mean, you got to stay in train with, you know, women who barely dress and everything. Or why, you know, guys don't never got this shirt on. It's a lot for people, you know, who, who, who not in it. Long story short, you know, I was, I was in a low relationship. But, you know, me last year was cool with his friends. And, you know, that didn't work out. So I saw last, you know, and people thought we was talking different stuff like that. But now we was just cool with just friends. I tried to, you know, press some game on, cut a promo. What did you say? Nothing. I was stumbling. I was stuttering all over the place. Yeah, and I'm a promo guy, like, I like the talk.

Yeah, and, you know, I went to talk to you and me together. She wasn't with it at first though, right? No, she friends on me quit. I didn't know you were in the friends on them. I mean, she was like, now you my homie friend, that me up. You know what I'm saying? She was there for a while. That's friends on me for a while. How did you feel with that moment? But, but I felt, you know what I'm saying? It was a friends on like, because, you know, I, here's a truth about them out of it. You know, she was a single leader. You know what I'm saying? So she did, but she had to do. But, you know, we never crossed our line then and then. But like, we just grew as friends and then one day, man, you know, that's it. So how'd you get out the friends on? Man, just being me. So, you know, we had to, baby steps. Where you step? Where you step? Yeah, where, where you, where you, when you get to beat Toe in the rest of, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was our best friend. Yeah. Yeah. How does that help you guys, uh, brands? Just because I know you have your singular brands, but together, because now they're calling you like, one of the WWE's like, power couples, right? Straight up, yeah. I mean, that was never the goal, like,

who wasn't trying to be a power couple per se, you know, I just rock with her. But it definitely helps, you know what I mean? Like, you have double the reason to be invested into both of us now, because like, if you're a trick wins, man, then you rock with that. If you rock with that, you rock with that, you rock with the trick. And, you know, it just works like that. Do you all hit each other with wrestling moves around the house just randomly? Like, yeah. Yeah, man, she abusive. Thank you. She abusive, man. Like, I need help. Just for the clothesline, you want to move? I don't even wish you stayed a friend. Uh, you know what I mean? No, you mean, huh? You know what I'm saying? No. The funny thing is, you know, like, bro, she like the strongest girl in WWE. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? She know joke. But in the house, she just so, oh, help me. You know what I mean? Oh, no, we got a lizard in the house. We staying in Florida, you know what I mean? I hate lizards. Like, but you just body slamming 300 pounds. I might laugh, man. You know what I mean? But that means you put her in a really safe space. Yeah. Because she's very successful. And I watched you guys on the sports Bible to agree to disagree. I watched that. And I loved how you guys interact,

because I can tell for her to be so successful, you're so successful as well. Normally, there's this like thing when you're a successful woman where you have to always, like, you're on guard and you're always protecting what you built. She just be fully like my man's here. When you're, you know what I mean? And that's a great thing to see. That's right, Lauren. Had to put my foot down. Sometimes you got to bite slam. And letting her know, you know what I mean? Safely. We don't know if this is... I think she can beat you though. I ain't going to front. Man, a lot of people think that. Oh, man. So go have a coat and got one another coat. Yeah, man. Not even shirtless on my head. Yeah, a lot of them. We'll take something about New York. Like she said, normally I don't got no shirt on, but today I was prepared, man. It's cool that last night. He from Sarkin Liner, Florida. Yes, this wasn't, you know. I never used to it. No, man. No, no, I don't play that. I know WrestleMania 42. WrestleMania 42 is happening in April. How does WrestleMania feel? Because to me, on the outside looking in, I always look at that as wrestling Super Bowl. Mm, it is. Okay. Yeah, it is, Supo. It's right back in Las Vegas. Again, this year, Las Vegas is full of shows,

entertainment, magic shows, but we are these shows that come and see the 18th and the 19th of April. And your boys gonna have a match, I guarantee you. Is it pressure? It's a lot of pressure. Like you said, it's a Super Bowl. And like, that's what everybody, that's what it's all about. You know what I mean? Like you want to, you want to main event WrestleMania. You want to have a match on the biggest stage of them all. 60,000 fans, night one, 60,000 fans, night two, 120,000 different people there. Chan, your name going crazy. Like, that's what it's all about. The biggest lights possible. The biggest production. All the stars come out. It's a good feeling. Yeah, man. It's about to go down. Who is your ideal opponent for WrestleMania, what are you two? They'll ever want it, man. I ain't trying to brag, but you know what I'm saying? Like, trick is the hottest new talent on the roster right now. So, I mean, anybody who's trying to get a little jump back into the deal, they want to take on a trip Williams for WrestleMania. Absolutely. We appreciate you for joining us. Trick Williams. Good luck WrestleMania goes down to 80 to 80 to the next. Was your name supposed to be matric?

Or was it supposed to be something else like matric or something? My name is matric, man. My dad's name is Patrick. My mom's name Monica. Hey, you know how we do, you know what I'm saying? You from South Carolina, you know how I go. You know how I go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so. Matrix, mindry belt. Matrix, mindry. My mom was going to name his mom. I'm gonna name Rosa. Lou Rosa. Yeah. Lou Rosa. You know how we do, man? We created like that. That's crazy, because I thought if you was a little Spanish it's, yeah, Lauren LaRolla. I didn't know my mom was a little name. His mom is Patrick. His mom, I mean his dad is Patrick. His mom is mom. It's the same thing. But people just love putting names together. Yeah, okay. Well, there you have it. It's Trick Williams from the WWE. Yes. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Pastor Ox. Oh, what's going on? What's going on? I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. I'm gonna name it. Yeah, DJ comes in. Now comes in. What's up? Big Nylon. Nylon Simone. Big Girl. Hey guys. And why L.A. Man, young 1990 now. Yes.

Study Bruce. Okay, not too much. He was on a roll. He was on a roll. Yeah, he was on a roll. He was on a roll. He was on a roll. He was on a roll. I'm excited, man. I think this new, I think they call themselves the psych, you know, Denzel Curry puts together a collective tier of current. It's at Ferg, BK, the ruler. And they dropped their project today. And it's really, really tough. And sure, I think you're really going to like it because I know how much you love the Krunk Air. Mm-hmm. And it kind of reminds me of it. Maybe not this song in particular, but there's some songs on there that I think will really be it. But I like this one the most. It's Hoopty. It got Smino on there. You guys know I love Smino and Tia Curry. I like that. That's serious. I like that. I had a Krunk in him, but not this record was the Krunk Air. Yeah, not this record, but he has, or they have. I like that though. That's all I'm gonna get about. He's starting to know the other crew. They just, they came together as a collective. They're really not a crew. Yeah. Yeah, I'm, I'm team Love Collective so that I think that was dope. Then I'm going to this Mike Will made it Travis Porter and Mona Leo. Ooh. Yeah, it's a crazy combination. Right. But I'm excited to hear this. I'm excited too, especially Mike Will body that versus,

obviously, look. What? They want to show them in the drop below. Can you see that? They talking to me so reckless right now. They're good. Like, show them in almost all their twerk. They're in your mind. I'm gonna show them in the door. Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna disrespect me. I'm a f***ing lady. Man, let's get into this new Mike Will made it. It's called standing up. Who that is? Mona Leo. But I'm Mona Leo. Okay, okay. I don't know if I'm feeling that. Oh, really? That's what Travis Porter is. Yeah. I was expecting something like that. Travis Porter on the hook. I was like Travis Porter. I like all three of them. Mike Will made it, Travis Porter and Mona Leo. But I don't know if I like that. I think maybe you guys hear from the beginning. Yeah, it's hard with these snippets to really catch you. Right. But even the last record, those verses that Tia did, they were fired. All you guys heard was the hook. Yeah. The verses are dope. Kiss people just a little bit to go check it out for themselves. Yes, yes. And then the last one is a rap record from Deonte Hitchcock. You know, he dropped a little three piece. Deonte. Deonte. And the record is called Gotta Be More. Which he actually just posted this tweet that was like, you know, I'm a great rapper. I just don't like the post content.

And I was like, dang. That's, that's, that's most rappers. Yeah, but that's cool though. It's like most rappers. Deonte, I've been watching Deonte's. He just used to be sitting in his car freestyle and just felt like, it probably was like 15 years ago. Not 15 years ago. At least. I probably like 10. All right. 10. I give it to him. But this car got to be more. Yeah, I was smoke a blunt at a cafe and sit down and do work on the laptops. That's fine. That's fine. I like that. I like that whole picture you said, by the way. I wonder if Deonte gets discouraged just because, you know, he might not feel like he's where he's supposed to be. Because he's very talented. And when you use that talented and you see everybody else, you know, prospering and you like, I'm opening all of them guys. He gets ready. But he's nice. I feel like that's what a lot of rappers and you deal with a lot of rappers now. Don't you feel like they don't put out music because they're scared? Because they get busy. But they feel like they scared that people won't accept it the way that they wanted to be received. I don't know if it's because they scare. I think a lot of times they sign with labels that don't know what to do with them. And I think labels give them bad advice.

Like you should be doing a record like this. Like there's some rappers who I work for who are phenomenal with the pin who labels a tell them to make drill records. Like when drill a tie. I feel that and I feel like the people are two into numbers, right? They want to see how well the record spins or how record it, how well it does, how well it streams, how well the YouTube. Like if you like good music, go rock with good music. Yeah. And I also think that I don't want to blame this on Cole. But I think Cole being like an ordinary. What? Why does it always have to come back to Jake Holt? I'm not sure. He kind of that's the vibe that he kind of gave me though. Yeah. In a sense of like ordinary rappers. Like I'm I'm famous. But then I'm still doing regular stuff. Like I feel like people just don't want to do all the things it takes to necessarily. Like we got a whole generation of regular rappers. J Cole, champs of rapper, Kendrick, like Drake. Like none of them are there. Drake and Kendrick, give regular. They're all big. Like the cold Kendrick and Drake are all big superstars. But their boots are very much on the ground compared to the people that we grew up with.

The guy you never seen. Bring on a coach. Can't be opposed to a DMX opposed to not as opposed to a T.I. That's what you're saying. Think about all of the big gaudy jury. Yes. You know, like they did. There was a right there. The rappers used to look and present. They were trying to be like the drug dealer. Like they were trying to be like the drug dealer. Yeah. I know because even Tony used to give off superstar aesthetic. He wasn't the drug dealer. He was walking aroundaha or Bentley. And then guys, so no, I don't know what it is. But if you realize like those records makes you guys. Check them out. Umm, you can get them by following me at night. Was Simone, Nila with a Y to mom with a why and why LA. That's whyiments and E E why are you there? Makes you guys follow is the certified vibe. And yeah more twins in the way. Thank you Nilah. All right. Let's get to the mix. We throw it back on a Friday. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ and V just hilarious. Shall I mean the guy we are the breakfast club is women's history month, who we are saluting today. We are saluting Claire Huxdebou from the filmed series Cosby Show, played by Felicia

Rashad. She was the matriarch of the family. She is what I consider like all of my aunt and my mother to be. That was like the most relatable mother on TV that I had watched growing up. And so I just want to give her a big shout out. Claire Huxdebou, who was supposed to be Dominican at first? Did y'all know that? No, I didn't know. Yeah, she, yeah, they, y'all ain't know that the black family, the Cosby Show was going to burn the naked woman into this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She was supposed to be yo, they was casting for Dominican mom. And she went in the audition to ate it up. She spoke fluid Spanish, yo, like, and she ate it up. Like her and her sister both speaks of fluid Spanish. But yeah, man, they were trying to cast a Dominican woman for that first. And she, and then they switched it. Yeah, Bill Cosby switched it was okay. Yeah, like she'd be regular black. Yeah, it would have been the same. The fact that it was black family is what made, I mean, the Cosby Show was a great show regardless. But seeing that black family was very powerful. Yeah. Yes. Because black love is revolutionary. Nothing wrong with you know, being black. For sure.

With a Latino, mm-hmm. I know, I know, but yo, I'm so hyped because y'all ain't know that. Like, and I did not make that up. That's what I say. Yeah, it says originally the character was supposed to speak Spanish, which explains why she occasionally spoke Spanish on the Cosby Show. Bill Cosby initially wanted her to be a Spanish speaking character who would revert to her native language when frustrated. The plan was dropped before the pilot was taped. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but, but specifically Dominican is what they wanted her to be. Like, that's real. I literally, literally read that in a newspaper. Mm-hmm. So you didn't read that. I believe you up and tell you said you're right. Oh, yeah. I was doing that. But I, but I did, I did hear Malcolm Jamal want to say that on a podcast before like a year or a year and a half ago. That would have, it would have been black. I think it would have, it would have destroyed what the show was. Yeah, and I was because the whole thing was it was showing black love. No, for sure. Yeah, family. Mm-hmm. And it's been one of my favorite shows to this day. So, yeah, shout out to Claire

Hux the Bull and Felicia Rashad. Okay. All right. What happened? This is funny. All right, when we come back, we just said she reads. That's when everybody knows up cat. Now, a couple of weeks ago, Lauren announced that Mary J. Blasch will be doing her first Vegas residency titled Mary J. Blasch, my life, my story. Now, you and Jess only know a couple of Mary songs, and that's very, very frustrating. Why do you keep telling the people this? That is not true. I know so many Mary J. Blasch songs. I just didn't know the name of one song, but I knew the song word for word. Well, I'm going to help you guys out because I was looking on eBay and shout out to eBay because they have everything, including Mary's, my life CDs and vinyl. So I'm going to get you guys some vinyl so you guys can actually know the song title, know the songs, and that way when we all go because we're going to all go as a class to Mary's residency.
