Also we had therapist and author Nedra Tawwab stop by where she spoke about the importance of setting boundaries for healthy relationships, respect and more. But before that interview Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to a Massachusetts school for serving fried chicken to their students for Black History Month and missing the moment to really teach the students about it. Speaking of Black History Month, Charlamagne throws his Black History Moment to TDott where he spoke on what really George Washington's teeth were made from- and trust its far from wood!

Y'all are like a mega force. Y'all just took over everything. Wake your punk ass up. This is Chris Brown. I've officially joined the Breakfast Club. Say something, mother f***er. I'm with it. The world's most dangerous water show.

Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA. Peace to the planet, it's Friday! What's happening? Good morning. How y'all feeling out there? I am blessed, black, and highly favored. Take a deep breath right now for all of those who can't. Yes, good morning. Definitely did, man. How you feeling out there? I'm actually in Detroit. I came out here for just a couple of hours and then the flights got delayed because the weather was so bad. So luckily I brought my bag so I can broadcast from the hotel.

So I'm stuck here, so I leave in the morning. But the weather's pretty nasty out here. It's snowing. I heard the weather's nasty in New York. I heard the weather's nasty on the East Coast. It's pretty nasty out there. It's supposed to be so icy. It's supposed to be so icy.

Whatever that means. It's supposed to be like icy, icy weather today. Yeah. to be so icy. Whatever that means. Supposed to be like icy weather today. Yeah. I don't know. I guess Mother Nature bought some jewelry. She want to show it off today. Okay, it's going to be a lot of ice everywhere. That's the forecast.

All right? Ice everywhere. Oh, I just want to shout out. I was in Detroit. Let me shout out to Mary Jane. Mary Jane is a dispensary out here. Her brother owns it. I stopped by there yesterday, so I just want to say salute to that brother

and everything that he's doing out there. You ain't bringing no weed back, though. Nope. Not allowed to fly with weed. I'm not messing with you. Nope. Don't stop me. Don't pull me.

You ain't bringing no edibles back. You ain't going to bring no edibles back. Nope. Nope. Sure won't. But can't you bring edibles back, though? It's legal in Detroit. You can't bring edibles back?

Well, medically. Medicinal it is. Not recreation. But you know, I don't want to test it. Tell him it's for your back. Huh? You got that. Tell him it's for your back because you know you got that bad posture that make you look like you got a hump back. So just tell him it's for your back. Shut up.

But nope, I'm not trying to. Don't pull me over. Nothing in my bag, sir. Nothing in my bag, man. Well, I'll tell you one thing. What's that? That's right. I was about to say we got somebody coming in today who don't mind traveling with weed. I call him Mr. Motorola

era. I call him Too Clean. Y'all call him Two Chains. He'll be here this morning. He'll be joining us. His album is out today, and we're going to kick it with Two Chains in a little bit. But this is a packed show today. It's called Dope Don't Sell Itself. We also got comedian TK Kirkland.

He's going to be joining us. He always speaks facts, always very honest and true. That is my OG. I love TK Kirkland, but the views expressed by TK Kirkland are his views. Yes, his views only, not mine. And his views only. That's right. I just want to remind y'all, he's a 61-year-old comedian and philosopher.

Correct. So he sees the world a little bit different than we do. He still sees it from the 80s, but it's all right. I'm 90s. Oh, and listen, one of my favorite people, man, her book is a life changer. You know, last year, you know, one of the things I wanted to add it really add to like my my self care repertoire, you know, to my mental health repertoire is setting boundaries. That's something I really have problems doing. And I had her on my show last year, The God's Honest Truth, my late-night talk show.

Dr. Nedra Glover-Tawwab will be here to discuss her New York Times bestselling book, Set Boundaries, Find Peace, A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself. Oh, you have to listen to her this morning, man. And after you listen to her, please go buy her book if you haven't. That's right. Licensed therapist. So it's, I guess, the yin and the yang of the breakfast club. We're going to give you some ratcheting.

Ratchet and righteous. There you go. You know that's what we do. That's what we do the best here, okay? There's nobody out there that got the balance we do. Ratchetness and righteousness, the yin and the yang of life, okay? I ain't even brushed my teeth yet this morning. I'm in here.

All right. You know what I mean? Just have me a hard-boiled egg. You know what I mean? All right. But don't even brushed my teeth yet this morning. I'm in here. Just have me a hard-boiled egg. You know what I mean? Don't even worry about it. I might get a little gassy, but I don't fart in my clothes. Okay. Let's get the show cracking. I don't even know why I said that.

I don't know either, but front page news. Let's talk Black History Month and chicken. I don't like you. I don't even know why that was necessary. Why did you even do that just now? What was the point? We'll get to it next. It's the breakfast.

Why? I like that. That's tough. Dropping the clues bombs for Nicki Minaj. That's tough. Nicki and Lil Baby Moon for Nicki Minaj. That's tough. Nicki and Lil Baby Moon walked on that one. They Moon walked on that one. They Moon walked on that one.

That's tough. That is tough. Nothing left to see here, folks. All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. All right. Now, the 2022 NBA All-Star Reserves, the whole actual squad has been released.

Right now, East Coast starters Kevin Durant, we knew that. The Greek Freak, Joel Embiid, Trey Young, and DeMar DeRozan. That is the East Coast starters. West Coast starters LeBron James, Nikola Jokic. That's how I say his last name, right?

Yeah, big joke. Joke. I call him last name, right? That's it, right? Yeah, big joke. Joke. I call him the Joker. I can't pronounce it. Me too. Andrew Wiggins, Steph Curry, and Jay Morant, which is pretty dope. So it's going to be a good game. Ja Morant, man. Ja Morant.

Get the South Carolina kid name right. You said Jay Morant. Ja Morant. Ja Morant. That's a South Carolina young man right there. Yeah, so it looks like it's going to be good. I'm surprised LaMelo Ball didn't make it. That's a lot of people saying he deserved to be there, LaMelo Ball.

Is he on the reserves? He might be in the reserves. No, he's not a reserve. Not a reserve at all. Yeah. Interesting. That's your starters. Now the NBA reveals a new redesigned Kobe Bryant trophy for the All-Star game.

It's all crystal. It looks pretty dope so the new kobe bryant trophy awarded to the kia nba all-star mvp uh which is pretty pretty dope and in memory of kobe bryant i think that's pretty dope absolutely also weather we got to talk weather the weather is going to be disgusting that i say winter storm so storm hits northeast after bringing dangerous conditions and power outages to south and midwest. They're saying more than 95 million Americans are under winter weather warnings. So they're saying be careful. They say the storm is expected to deliver a mix of ice, sleet, and freezing rain to major cities, including New York City, Boston, Rhode Island, Philly, a whole bunch, New Mexico.

It's going to be nasty out there. They're saying people are going to get at least a foot of snow in some areas. They're saying power outages for 500,000 plus. And that's in areas from Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Tennessee. So they believe it's going to be rain and snow for records broken. So be careful. Stay home if you can. I know myself, I already got, you know, a text from the kids school saying they're going to do virtual today just because of it.

Yeah, my kids, too. They I think they scheduled for late, late arrival, but they'll probably end up canceling it altogether. Mother Nature went out there and bought some jewelry, man. So y'all be careful, because one thing about that ice, that ice don't give a damn about nobody. OK, that ice will humble your ass whether you're driving or walking. You hear me? And I don't call it black ice because I don't understand why we got to call that dangerous ice black ice. All right? But, boy, I tell you one thing. You step outside and you ain't paying attention to that ice, that ice will have you on your ass.

Okay, you'll be looking up at the heavens asking God why. Absolutely. And lastly. Why are you on your back right now at this time of morning? And lastly, I can never pronounce Massachusetts. Massachusetts. Did I say it right? No.

All right. Well, you know what I mean. Who am I to ask how to pronounce something? All right. Well, a school in Massachusetts called Xavier Brothers High School. It's an all-boys school. In honor of Black History Month, one way they like to celebrate is by highlighting a traditional meal each week. And this week is Southern black chicken.

Today's lunch is going to be fried chicken. So for Black History Month, they're celebrating by giving the students fried chicken. What's the problem? I love chicken. I'm not listening to you. OK, I understand that, you know, there's a stereotype associated with chicken, but I don't accept that stereotype. Okay? Fried chicken is delicious.

All right? And what if they did a survey with them kids and asked them kids what's their favorite meal, and them kids said fried chicken? Intention matters. But is that a Black History Month meal, chicken? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Is there a Black History Month meal?

I know I like fried chicken. Shoot, y'all like fried chicken, too. Let Popeye's come out with a new chicken sandwich today and watch what happens. Okay, I'm just asking. I'm just asking. I'm just giving you the information, just giving you the news, brother. And that is front page news. Because I used to, you know, remember, we all know about the stereotype of watermelon, too.

Until you do research and you find that, you watermelon was actually uh considered a luxury item and you know black people made a whole lot of money off watermelon back in the day so the stereotype came from um uh racist white people calling us watermelon pickers so they were just trying to insult us because we was getting that money off of watermelon so we let them put a negative stereotype on something that put a lot of money in our pockets back in the day. Okay. So it's the same thing with fried chicken, if you ask me. I don't know who came up with that stereotype, but everybody loves fried chicken. Everybody.

All right. Well, get it off your chest. That's why it's not a Black History Month meal. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. It's your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Aisha.

Hey, I just wanted to say what's up, Charlamagne? Peace, Aisha. How you, queen? I'm good. I'm from the 803. Hey, Metro, what's happening? Yes, but I just wanted to get off my chest that I'm 28 right now,

and I lost my husband last year when I was 27. Oh, sorry to hear that. Sorry. right now and I lost my husband last year when I was 27. Sorry to hear that. Sorry. I just want to put out there how many people, especially people in their 20s who like us. I was just as fortunate that I had two policies of life insurance

for my husband and that helped me in so many ways and I'm just so thankful and I'm so blessed to be even though it's a bad situation, I'm still blessed. I have two kids. I have a two-year-old and a two-month-old. I was pregnant when he passed. So it's just very important for young people to get life insurance.

Because, you know, this life insurance is so short. I had no idea. But thank God that I got this money to help me out. So I just want to put that out there, the importance of life insurance, especially for young black men. I agree with you. Absolutely. My husband is in his grave, and he's still in the transit family.

So that's very important. Well, I'm definitely sending you and your family healing energy for sure. And you're absolutely right. Life insurance is very important. And I know a lot of times it feels, you know, very morbid going to get life insurance because none of us like to think about death. But to your point, man, like, you know,

your kids and you are still well taken care of. And I'm sure he's somewhere very happy about that. Right, right. Thank you. Thank you. I'm so glad I got through.

you so much so sorry to hear that thank you you know and i'm glad you called them you're absolutely right you know we need to make sure that we have life insurance because life insurance even though if we get it early it won't be as expensive and like you said when something like this happens or you pass away or a family member passes the fact that you know burying that person is is is it'll help out so much more because it's very expensive and and you don't realize how expensive it is until you have to do it so you're absolutely right and again we're selling sending healing energy to you mama that's absolutely hello who's this yes this is keita how'all doing?

I want all the ladies to know that in the wax down there, in order to stop the pee from going everywhere, you just need to open up your butt cheeks some. What? And Charlamagne. Queen, what are you talking about? Wait a minute.

What are you talking about this morning? Okay, so when we ladies get waxed down there and we try to squat, our pee goes everywhere, like everywhere, all over our leg, all over. I didn't know that. Yeah, so if we just open our booty cheeks up as we pee, it'll give us more aim so the pee don't go everywhere. I'm glad you had to potty train a bunch of grown-ass people this morning. Not while you're getting waxed.

It's saying not while you're getting waxed. After you get waxed, you're saying. Yes, after you get waxed. Because we don't have the hair to guide it everywhere, you know. And, Charlamagne, I just cut my locks off. I just cut my locks off. So I would love a black effect head. Or, you know, some black something.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

Every morning I'm driving to work at 5 in the morning, and you got all these cars speeding, cutting each other off.

And I even catch myself doing it. I'm doing the same thing. I'm cutting people off. I'm, like, trying to hurry up and get to work, you know what I'm saying? And then as soon as I get to work, I see my coworkers flying past me. And as soon as we get to work, you know what I'm saying, we're the first ones to be like, damn, I don't even want to be here. You know what I'm saying?

So I'd be wondering to myself, every morning I'm speeding to work, trying to get there. Everybody else is always speeding to work, trying to get there as quick as they can, and then as soon as they get there, they don't even want to be there. You know what I'm saying? So what I'm saying is everybody in traffic, man, just slow down. Take your time. We all going to get to work.

Yeah, yeah, you right. So I just want to say J. Cole is the best rapper alive. Just make sure y'all tune in. Go get some bars. Go get some lyrics. I also listen to Nicky.

I haven't heard it yet. I like how he got busy on the Benny the Butchie record, too. He's been doing a lot of features. He's back on his bullish. Oh, Johnny P's Caddy. He ripped that. Did y'all hear?

Do we have a problem? Yeah, Nicky. They ate on that. Nicky and Lil Baby. They moonwalked on that record. Yeah, we played it this morning. Nicky barred that down. Nicky, you still owe me an apology, but you barred that down.

Yo, shut up, Drav. She don't even know who you are. Okay, she blocked owe me an apology, but you borrowed that down. Oh, shut up, Trav. She don't even know who you are. Okay, she blocked me so she know who I am. She came to my page so she blocked me so she definitely know who I am. Bye. Oh, my goodness. Bye, Trav. All right, get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. Now, if you haven't heard, Nicki Minaj and Lil Baby, we're going to be playing every hour on the hour. So just keep it locked and We'll get that on again. When we come back, we got the rumors. We got to talk about this billionaire's problem. He has a $450 million yacht, but the problem is it won't fit under

a bridge. So we'll tell you what he's trying to do. Man, we don't care about them rich people problems. It's kind of interesting to me, but we'll get to the rumors next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Yee is out. I am not a cub. I'm a full-grown bear. We are The Breakfast Club. Call me a damn cub this morning. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jeff Bezos. This is The Rumor Report

with Angela Yee. On Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, what do you do when you buy a $450 million yacht, right? I would never do nothing like that. That's stupid. And then it doesn't go under a bridge, so you can't even

get it to where you need it to do. So what do you do? Well, that's what happened to Jeff Bezos. Man, shut up. He purchased a $450 million super yacht in the Dutch city. We don't give a damn. And he can't get it through under a bridge. So what did he do? I could care less. The Dutch city of

Rotterdam, he asked them to please dismantle the historic bridge so he could get his super yacht through. How about he fly a plane? How about he fly a helicopter? Why he got to fly the boat? If you know the boat can't get under the bridge, then buy something that can go over the bridge. You got all that money, Jeff Bezos.

You can't fly the boat. He has to go in water. What you saying? Pick up the boat, find him a device that can actually pick it up. Well, buy a submarine. Buy a submarine and go under the goddamn water. How about that? All right. I'll get a smaller boat. Okay. I don submarine and go under the goddamn water. How about that? All right?

I'll get a smaller boat. Okay. I don't care about them rich people problems. Okay. I'm just giving you a little information. I thought that was interesting. Imagine Jeff Bezos trying to convince me that's a problem this morning. Hey, man, you know what I'm really going through, man?

I got this $450 million yacht, and I'm just trying to get under this bridge. I'm just going to buy the whole bridge and dismantle the whole bridge just to get my boat through. But on the bright side, that will bring some jobs, right? Because you're going to have to pay some people to dismantle the bridge. I would think. And then put it back together. Absolutely. Yeah.

That's good. That'll look at it. That creates some jobs. But it's going to inconvenience a lot of people, I'm sure, unless that's a bridge that nobody really uses. I don't know anything about the bridge. I don't even know what you're talking about when you say Dutch city. When you say Dutch, I think Dutch masters. What you talking about?

All right. Now, Whoopi Goldberg, speaking of jobs, she reportedly will lose one hundred and ninety two thousand dollars. Now, that's because she was suspended for two weeks for her whole Holocaust comments. She's going to lose out on one hundred ninety two thousand dollars. And people are saying that she's very upset about being suspended. She feels like she doesn't deserve to be suspended. Now, these are just what people are saying. All right. Yet y'all want to argue with me about freedom of speech. I keep telling y'all speech is not free. There is a price to everything that comes out of your mouth. And, you know, you can't name that price. You just can't.

Even if even if you're even if your intention when you speak is not to be malicious even when your intention to speak is not to offend you cannot tell the person on the receiving end of those words how to feel so if that person feels a certain way and that person could do something about it hey they're gonna do something about it and you got to pay the price for your said free speech now charlamagne you're a huge boondocks fan you talk about boondocks a lot and there's a lot of people that love boondocks they were excited about the reboot but now they're saying that it's no longer gonna happen now we hear from cedric yarborough as he talks about it i hate to say this but i i you know out of the show i you know right now not coming back you know um i don't know if this is breaking news but you know we've

been wanting to do the show and and uh sony and it's you know they they decided that they're gonna pull the plug so um i don't know hopefully maybe one day we'll we'll be able to revisit it if we didn't if we don't then that that's what that is but yeah i wish the show was coming back but wow yeah i can confirm that all of that is true i don't know what the situation is with sony and hbo max i'd be you know hearing it but it just sounded like a whole bunch of corporate mumbo jumbo i just think all of them are dropping the ball because the boondocks is such a a cultural staple and if you're wondering how i know, it's because I'm a consulting producer on the new season of the Boondocks.

Aaron Magruder's my guy. Aaron Magruder, he's the executive producer on my late-night talk show, too, The God's Honest Truth. So, dropping the clues, bounce my man Aaron Magruder. Aaron Magruder's a genius. But they got some fire merch, though.

Some fire Boondocks merchandise out there that you can go get. And grab, man. And lastly, congratulations to Will Smith. Will Smith sold one million copies of his book, Will. Yesterday, he said, I just finished training and literally just found out that Will, the name of the book, is at a million copies sold. So now he's the number one New York star best selling and one million copies sold. So congratulations to Will Smith.

Yeah, I wonder why LaMelo Ball didn't make it. You sure he got a reserve? I'm positive. I'm positive. Now, a lot to go through. Angel E is out, so I'm just going to go through it pretty fast. The weather.

I'm tapping my foot like Jim Jones right now. It's going to be horrible. They're talking about storm hitting the Northeast, so if you don't need to be inside, if you don't need to be outside, stay your ass inside. It's talking about 500000 people might be losing power. They're saying is flood watches for over 10 million people. So be careful out there. And as Jim Jones would say, don't wear those Uggs this weekend because they're going to get effed up. All right. Now, Amazon, if you're Amazon Prime prime member they're hiking the price of the prime

membership is going from 12.99 to 14.99 now the new pricing starts february 18th but if you have a membership already that happens on march 25th so your prime is going up so there ain't nothing we can do about it no there's nothing we can do about it because all of us use amazon prime you're gonna spend that extra $2 or whatever it is. Now, Mississippi. Spell Mississippi, Charlemagne. M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I. Humpback, humpback, I.

It's the latest state to legalize medical marijuana all right so mississippi you can smoke uh medicinal marijuana i don't know why they just don't make it recreational why is it so hard of a fight to make it recreational in all these states well mississippi is the 37th state to legalize marijuana medically uh I feel like if they make it legal, recreational, then they know that they're going to have to let a whole lot of black people out of jail who are sitting in those jails for marijuana right now. They got those long ass sentences for ounces of weed, less than an ounce of weed sometimes.

I think if they know if they make it recreational, they're going to have to let a lot of those people out. That's my personal opinion. Okay. And lastly, all right. Now, this is kind of funny. Georgia, they're encouraging residents to snitch on their exes for Valentine's Day. They're saying, do you have an ex-Valentine?

What do you mean? And know that they have outstanding warrants? Do you have information that are driving, like, drugs in their car? Give us a call with their location, and we'll take care of the rest. Evil. Evil. It depends what the case is, though. I'm not going to lie.

Depends what the person did. I don't think if you should, you know, call the police for any speeding tickets or nothing like that, but you know, if you know this dude done committed a murder, you know, robbed somebody or something like that, like if he did something really heinous or she did something really heinous.

Yeah. Bro, that is wild. So if you have an ex, you don't have to know. That man broke your heart. That woman broke your heart. They shouldn't do that. They shouldn't play with people's emotions like that. There's nothing wrong with being an eyewitness when somebody broke your heart like that.

Think about the pain that person put you through, boo. All right. Go get your get back. an eyewitness when somebody broke your heart like that. Think about the pain that person put you through, boo. Go get your get back. Ladies, you know your man got an outstanding warrant. Tell us where he's at. He got a gun in the car? Let us know. He got some drugs at the crib. And vice versa. Vice versa. You know that woman driving around with a suspended license.

Give up that license plate number, King. Alright? Let's clean up these streets. Alright? We don't have don'tdateemgirl.com, don'tdateemmyguy.com. We don't have those no more. Not that I know of. Clean up these streets. All right? Get these folks off the street.

I think that's incredible. But would they know that I did it? No. You could do it anonymous. You call it anonymous. Yeah, I think I'd rather remain anonymous But I would just rather know That's beautiful on Valentine's

I would remain anonymous But I know in my heart In my heart I did that They said you could actually send a card And they said this card comes with a set of limited edition platinum handcuffs A free transportation with a chauffeur to jail A one night minimum stay in a luxurious accommodations and a professional glamour shot.

I love that. I think that's fly. I think that should happen. That is not fly. Go do that. Male or female, if you have an ex out there who has committed a crime and you know they committed a crime, they got an outstanding warrant for something that's serious, call the goddamn police. Happy Valentine's Day. Call the goddamn police.

Happy Valentine's Day. That man broke your heart. Okay, that woman broke your heart. Project that pain in the right place. Project that pain for a good cause. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right.

Man, that is funny as hell. That's not funny. That's not funny. All right. Now, when we come back to the show. And sign the card, sincerely snitch. No, you can't do that, man. I would just love to. People, just hit us up on Instagram.

Just tell us some of the people on Twitter. Tell us some of the people you would snitch on. I know there's so many people right now. Like, what is that number? Send me that 800 number right now.

How y'all doing? Good, man. First, I just want to say thank you to 2 Chainz. You guysz. Welcome. How y'all doing? Good, man.

First, I just want to say thank you to 2 Chainz. You guys know I do these car show thing. And 2 Chainz is somebody that I call every year because he frequently buys new cars. And every time I call him, he never, it's never a problem. It's never, he just says, Envy, you just got to get a trailer to get. Chainz is giving me his tank. He's giving me the car from the trap museum. I feel like you messed up one of his cars.

I definitely didn't mess up any of his cars. No, he's very responsible. Okay, just checking. We told him to do the right, so I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you, man. I really appreciate it.

I like what you're doing. I like everything that you're doing. I like you should be commended more. I like the family aspect. I like the real estate. I like the cars. I like everything. I just wanted to say thank you so much.

A lot of times, we don't say thank you enough, so I just wanted to say thank you. I really appreciate it. All right, now, Dope Don't Sell Itself. New like the cars. I like everything. I just wanted to say thank you so much. A lot of times we don't say thank you enough. So I just wanted to say thank you. I really appreciate it. Alright, now Dope Don't Sell Itself. Nuwau, I'm out today. Yes, out today. Why the title Dope Don't Sell Itself? Well, Dope Don't Sell Itself is a term that's been used in the streets before

but I would like to have people that are not from the streets substitute dope for ideas. And it's just about um getting out and selling something that you feel like needs to be heard and so dope don't sell itself is my um seventh project um i like to describe the project as an antidepressant it's like the hood dope boy version of jasmine sullivan hotels especially with the skits in between the songs no for real the skits are for real, man.

We had, it was one night, me and my guys were, you know, they know now, but like, we were all like drinking in the studio

and then they started just like confessing to all type of little crimes and stuff. Like, cause I'm from, where I'm from, it be your own,

it be your own people. You know what I'm saying? So here I am, this dude telling me, yeah, yeah, man, I had to break in the studio. I'm like, you broke in, I was people you know what i'm saying so here i am this this dude telling me yeah yeah man i had to break in the studio i'm like you broke in i was you know it was just like so i told him to press record so they were actually just man we went through about well i had them go through about three bottles of 42 and then after then they just started confessing all type of stuff and i used them for some skits for a dvd documentary coming out as well the skit before

lost kings is very deep no it no like i played it uh the other night for like you know quaver on a few guys and you know it makes people laugh but it was a real situation that happened when one of the little homies answered the door and he got shot but my partner did not know he was shot at the time so when he fell on him he pushed him him. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, get off me and stop playing. But he really, he got shot. And so then he confessed, not confessed,

but he kind of told a story of, you know, what happened. You know, a lot of people be knowing in the neighborhood what would be going on. But like, a lot of the details

came out that night. Yeah, he was the shotgun pump. So he lost, so he lost his whole side. Yeah. How much stuff did you have to take out of those skits? I took a lot of stuff out. Yeah.

Sure. You think about how far you've come from, even looking at this album cover, you got the money in the shoebox, right? That's the bank. And I know you have this whole shoebox thing happening in Atlanta, which we'll talk about in a second.

But do you look at this and look at how far you've come from when you first started? Yeah, all the time, man. Sometimes it's hard to believe I did some of the things I did, honestly, man. That's how different I am than, you know, me when I was in my 20s. And that's why it's kind of hard for me to try to preach to somebody younger than me, too. Because I, you know, stole cars.

I sold drugs. I did a lot of the things that I just didn't have a rap career to talk about it at the time, you know. But I did a lot of those things. And I did a lot of those things that I just didn't have a rap career to talk about it at the time, you know? But I did a lot of those things and I did a lot of those things to people I love. So I deal with those kind of, you know, I won't call them demons, but I deal with that. Is it like a survivor's remorse? Because it's like you survived, but, you know, you also, I guess, did things you didn't want to have to do to survive. The people that you probably care about now. That's what I explain trapping. Like when I come trapping

is because i lived in a neighborhood that sold drugs like the whole neighborhood sold drugs and this i explained it to people that if i stayed in colorado i would probably know how to ski you know what i'm saying and i'm gonna go try to do that but if i stayed in in Hawaii, I would probably maybe know how to surf if that was like the thing to do. But in my neighborhood, these people are hustling and it seems normal. But at this time, it's not nothing you brag about. But then, you know, like I've been literally filling out money orders since I was in the 10th grade, like helping my mom pay Georgia power and different bills based off hustling. So we've always had a very transparent relationship. She always knew what I was doing.

But now the survivor's remorse with me is just trying to figure out a way that some of my friends who still may be in the black market, how I can bring them up. Because some of my friends don't care about music. I wanted to ask you too, man. Is one of the reasons you give back to the community so much because of the way you used to live in the street? Yeah, because didn't nobody do that for me.

Only person. Let me say this right. My mama had like a couple of boyfriends. Right. You know, I'm saying they each taught me something different. A couple of them were drug dealers. You know what I'm saying? But it was one that wasn't a drug dealer. He was more like a roofer. And I was doing what I do in the streets trapping and the guy used to buy my pack sometime so i wouldn't have to do it i don't know why he did that but he's

no longer living and um he used to call me killer all the time that's the reason i say killer all the time to people that's close to me and it's like I just put a positive connotation on the word killer and trap and dope. If you just look at me, I know where I came from. So now when I say certain things or do certain things, when I have a trap house, I ain't selling dope out of it. I'm selling art out of it. And I'm trying to pass that. So it's like I'm slowly but surely creating my little legacy.

All right, now you touched on this a little bit earlier, your marketing mind, because that is definitely something i notice every time you roll out an album you have something going on so with this one you have the sneaker box is that what it is that's that's in the city so tell us about what that is so the shoe box basically to to make it full circle like ludicrous was the first person to get me a bank account. My first bank account was the shoebox. It was my life. If someone had that shoebox, it was all that I had. Before the Crown Royal bag?

Before the Crown Royal bag. I used to have money in the Crown Royal bag in the shoebox. And so the thing about money is when you're from the streets, once you get a hundred you try to not spend under it. And then once you get 1,000, if you have 1,000 and 100, you just keep 100

and stack the 1,000. And then you get, once you get to 2,500, you kind of straight. You can buy some shoes. I built up that shoebox. But it was a conversation that I had with the late Virgil Abloh doing

Rap and Go to the League where this idea came from from and it's really unique that he's no longer here and it's also unique that this is 10 years separated from based on a true story which is my first album which Virgil actually created so it's almost like you know he didn't do this but like he's so I'm getting so much good feedback I just wish he was you know around you know, he didn't do this, but like, he's so, I'm getting so much good feedback. I just wish he was, you know, around. You know what I'm saying? Because it just feels like you know, a full sucker moment. This idea I've been, I've been having this idea for like three years

and it's one of those duh ideas, like why didn't I think of that? It's kind of like my 2 Chainz cover when he brought it to me. I'm like damn, I'm 2 Chainz and I didn't even think to just put 2 Chainz on my cover. Alright, we got more with 2 Chainz when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with 2 Chainz. Charlamagne? Now you said this is your last trap album. Why? Well, this is the last time that I will be putting all of this stuff in one place. It's not my last time recording trap music. The next album after this is the last time that I will be putting all this stuff in one place it's not my last time recording trap music the next album after this is Collie Grove 2 with Wayne and you know that

sounds like you're listening to it in the metaverse it's really really different you know and then the one after that would be the one with static selected that I've been trying to put out so I could just see me shine somewhere where I'm just really homing in on my just really bars and rap skills and just higher. But I still have my trap stuff in there because I can literally do that blindfold. You know, this is what I do. I come from that. But I'm just, you know, I'm offering and I've got to show my growth and maturation. And I'm just I got something else to offer.

I won't necessarily be doing, you know, melodic stuff. I still need to work in that bag, but just really rapping sample bass, 808s. Your done album? Is that going to be your done album? Your done son album? I'm definitely doing a done... I'm definitely coming that way.

I definitely got my own version of just really getting my ideas out. Hold on real quick. One of the most slept on verses last year was 2 Chainz on that AZ record, Motorola Era. And that's what made me say to myself, I want to hear him do a whole album like this

with them done sunbeats. Yeah, that's from Static. He sent that to me. Oh, Static did that record? Yeah, he sent that to me. And then, and it was just instrumental. And I said,

so what you want me to start it off? And he was like, yeah. And so I did that. That's actually, I think it might be this year I did that. But yeah, I'm a fan. That was this year? I thought that came out in December. Yeah, it was really early.

Oh, really? Okay, okay, okay. But I'm a fan of stuff like that. You know, some people just don't be knowing. I get down that way. I can, I can, I can, I can done it. I done did it. I done done it. Sonny did it. I done done it.

Sonny. Yeah. Man, let's play that this morning, man. We can play that. Yeah, I want to play that. I was going to ask you, how was your first concert in the metaverse? How was that? Did you have to record that in the metaverse?

Like, how did that happen? Like, how was that? So, shout out to my booking guy, Leaks. He booked something, right, during the pandemic, right? They're telling me I'm about to go to tabernacle right and perform in front of nobody now the concert that i just saw myself i recorded it a year you know prior i just didn't know what the hell i was doing but i just know that you know honestly it was a bag involved and i like performing you know i mean so i mean it was real I got my DJ I got a band

you know I'm saying I'm on stage I do a whole interview and you know man I'm an only child so I you know I think that helps with my creativity and me just you know everything from imaginary friends to whatever the hell I need to do and so I go somewhere mentally where i see people in the crowd but i don't see nothing but maybe about they look like gopro cams but they weren't but like maybe five or ten of these little cameras and i perform and i play to these cameras and i'm like you know and i do this whole show forget all about it so boom you know i'm saying they brain me this this oculus and i've been hearing about the metaverse way up through. I've been hearing all about it. And I put them on.

And some kind of way, you know, he's showing me. It's not even mine. It's my boy. I'm looking in the mirror. And it's his. You can see yourself in the mirror. Some s**t. So when I walk through into the portal, I see me.

And the dude told me, I forgot you got a concert. And I was like, I got a concert in there? So I walk in. And then, you know, like I got a concert and I'm like so I walk in and then you know I see me performing so I'm tripping and I'm like and I hear people you know yeah

hey well yo it's 2 Chainz in here hey you know and I'm looking at people and you know you can give people a pound in the metaverse you know

and I'm really just trying to just really steal my head around it and I meet a guy he's like you know dude walk, what's up? But he don't know I'm 2 Chainz because I got somebody else's Oculus on. And I'm like, what's up, man?

You like 2 Chainz? I'm like, yeah, I like 2 Chainz. Do you like 2 Chainz? He's like, no, not really. He's like, no, I was just stopping through, though. I was just stopping through, though. And then I was like, oh, OK, where you from? He's like, Cali.

I'm like, you smoke? He's like, no, I got this Hennessy. i see this dude in the metaverse like trying to go in his pocket but you know you can't pull nothing out i see him trying to you know and i was like what you like he's like i like underground music you probably wouldn't like what i like and i was like what you know you know what you like and uh he named a couple groups that i wasn't you know really familiar with but you know it was an experience for me to see me. You know, I'm yelling at me too, like, Tony, you know, and I'm just like, so it was a cool experience, man. That's the future.

Y'all got college growth, too. You say it's going to sound like it's in the metaverse. Does Wayne have any idea what the metaverse is? Wayne been in the metaverse? Man, it's funny because he got a verse where he says the Oculus on. And so, like wayne is man i don't know he's super duper intelligent i think he just don't watch the news and stuff like that so he has to get his information from a you know a different source how's that i mean of course

no it's done it's getting mixed right now okay we have a total of 15 songs dope don't sell itself is 12 songs and so it's a total of 35 minutes. So that project, the one I'm putting, well, the one that's out right now is ADHD approved. You know what I'm saying? It's concise. It's to the point. It's, like I said, antidepressant. The one with Wayne and myself is a little bit longer.

I want to know how you and Wayne's relationship has grown over the last decade, because y'all been partners for so long, and I'll never forget when you first went number one a damn near decade ago. And Wayne was like, what? Because he just know me like,

you just got to know what that relationship was. I was somebody that was around a lot of the times and never, you know, was acting like a rapper

if that's a term. Like I never was like, I was in the studio doing a bunch of those projects and never got in the booth one time You know, I mean, so he's probably surprised. He's respect you as an artist now. No, yeah, we got so much It's been reciprocated because I remember back then I was so what happened was I was hanging with him I wrote with him to the studio and I was like, you know, I'm in this group play a circle

You know I'm saying and I play Some play a circle music on the way to saying and I played some play a circle music on the way to the studio and I remember then then he was saying I don't want to throw people on the bus but he was saying

some good things then about what should have been going on you said you should go solo yeah well no he thought Dollar was hard

Dollar was hard he always thought Dollar was hard he was more or less like the situation I was in at the time. Could have been doing more for me. I want to flashback to something you said a little earlier about being an only child.

And you mentioned imaginary friends. So you had imaginary friends growing up? Man, you're not going to make this clickbait. No, I'm just curious. Two Changes talks about his. They don't even talk about my album no more. I'll be having to answer this the next year. I'll be seeing that stuff, man.

Boy, people be getting themselves in some trouble. No, I'm not about to do that. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not about to do that. Yeah, Envy's the only child to do that. You did G.I. Joe's and you're playing with G.I. Joe's. At least tell us their name. Yeah, at least tell us their name.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with 2 Chainz. Charlamagne? I love how you taught your wife how to say p*** to your ass. Oh, man. I ain't teaching that. Oh, she's from an aid, alright. Yeah, I ain't teaching that.

Oh, she from in the 80s, all right? Yeah, she from the 80s, man. My wife is super duper chill, man. She really not like turned on. Unless it involved her kids, you know what I'm saying? It's just like an animal instinct, I think, with a lot of females, man. Once the kids get involved, it's... So what happened with the Uber?

I know that you posted something with Uber driver. What happened during that time? You know, I can't even really speak on it now, but it was cold. It was snowing. The driver said something that she felt was disrespectful, you know what I'm saying? And then he wanted her to get out, and so she wouldn't get out, you know what I'm saying, until she

got to where she wanted, you know, to be. It was her and her mom and my kids. My kids at a volleyball tournament, and they, you know tournament. And it was snowing. So I had a driver there, but he wasn't driving in the snow or wasn't in the parking or something. So that's how they ended up even getting an Uber because that's something that she probably wouldn't normally do.

You know what I mean? So my daughter was the one. It's because there's more videos. There's plenty more videos. My daughter was the one that ended up being smart enough to record everything so you will fix it yet or y'all yeah they reached out but they just want to hear her side we already got the receipts as far as the videos and i don't know i ain't talking about i'm

not feeling like i got you i also see you bought your whole team rolexes during the pandemic and rolex prices up how many rolexes did you did you did you purchase so this is where the idea came from i had a 10-year anniversary for True Religion, my mixtape, recently. Some of those people were with me 10 years ago. So it was really overdue. You know what I'm saying? It was really overdue. And then also, I've been praying to be not as selfish as an only child.

I think I'm just selfish because I'm always thinking, first of all, no one did this for me. Second of all, what can you do for me? But now it's just like I just want to just help people. So I knew that this would make some people's morale feel better and show that I appreciate it. So I bought a total of 14 brand new boxing papers. I got all kind of DMs from your favorite stars and managers. Like, they couldn't find no Rolexes. But it was just something that was overdue to show my appreciation.

On Dope Don't Sell It Self, I just want to ask a question because, you know, I always love the fun 2 Chainz songs that we could dance to in the club, but what about a song like Lost Kings? What does a song like that mean to you? I think it's needed, though. For me, I think songs like that need it. you just speak on

a lot of fallen soldiers man people be dying so much man people be dying so much that literally it has to be

heartbreaking for you to cry these days like literally people don't even I don't believe in crying anymore so

I wanted to you know pay homage to them you and Dolph had a real solid relationship you know Dolph and I were real cool I met him he was a I was one probably his first feature uh I was in Atlanta and drummer boy called and said you know he had an artist that wanted to give me like at this time I had him I was trying like 3,000 for a verse but he wanted to play a

circle he wanted me in dollar but. He wanted me and Dollar. But, you know, like at this time, well, I had started rapping full time. I think Dollar was doing both, you know what I mean, one foot in, one foot out. So I'm like, Dollar, I'm about to go to this studio. You know, got this dude from Memphis. He want to spend some money. So, bro, like I got to play. You know what I'm saying?

I'll be down there when I get through. And so I go down and I meet, you know, Dollar, i'll be down there when i get through and so i go down and uh i meet you know dog real cool cool player from memphis you know i'm saying laid back you know at this time we're doing the same things drinking lean and smoking gas you know i'm saying and like i just you know really rock with his energy so i did a song with him and i did it so fast and we ain't no dollar and uh he never came because he was doing whatever he was doing. I ended up doing another verse, and I told him I didn't want to get paid for it. Like, you know what I'm saying?

I'm straight. And from then on, every time we went to Memphis, we would eat at Benny Hunter's, and he would come to my shows. Because Memphis was one of my original, like, put-me-on spots. And so I was down there. Literally, one time I had three shows in one night in memphis that's how many bags i was getting so you know he will always pull up and then you know he started turning up the heat you know i'm saying he started rocking with some of the folks from my team tech

and you know i'll street his ex and he started growing and uh you know just rest in peace to you know him and you know i always wonder man you know this as far as like PTSD when you see situations like Dolph Nipsey brothers that you know just in rap like you know that has happened to you as a rapper does that all come back when you see those situations how it probably could have turned up well maybe a lot of like with nip it was some pictures and stuff that you forget about that start coming up when stuff like that happened you're like damn i don't know dog you know or with dog you start like thinking like damn or even with bankroll you started thinking of and we was in it so that was a unique way to

put that because we just talking about people that we grieve that are like my rap peers not even like regular street yeah so it's rough and you'd be like man i can't believe it that'd be the real that'd be that part right there that not being able to digest it even post-funeral you know i'm saying being like just not being able to digest it is really it's really interesting to me the chain's gotta go too guys hold on two let's talk about the record million dollars worth of game that's my favorite i think that's my favorite song on the album so far okay what inspired that so i went to um little baby studio one night to do a song with him and i had just left bahamas recording man i was just really feeling myself and uh this beat came on and little baby i started

like you know writing to it and i was like man you mind if i he was like nah bro go in there so i did this verse when i came out little baby was like laying down resting so i didn't know if he was asleep or resting doug went in though just like right after me he didn't even want to hear my verse he just went in right after me. And I love that from young players like that. That just shows signs of confidence. You know what I'm saying? So he goes in, does his verse.

And then by the time he does his verse, I no longer think that baby's resting. I think maybe he might be sleeping. I'm not sure. I end up leaving, just like walking out, leaving. And they end up using that beat. Him and Dirk end up using that beat That me and 42 wrapped on on their project, you know I'm saying and so I had to Source the same tempo and then you know

I put the I put this song together like that and it just sound refreshing and real exotic like you know Everything just happens for a reason so I end up doing two songs At little baby studio that they got credit for one was the song I got with him called Kingpin Ghostwriter and then the other song is the one on Million Dollars Worth a Game well the album is out right now let's play a joint off the album what you want to hear Chang? the joint that I want to hear off the album is Lost Kings I think we could do that one let's do it all right well there you have it make sure you stream the album right now dope don't sell itself and it's two chains it's the breakfast

club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to the rumors let's talk kanye west it's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right. Now, Kanye West was in New York City the other night.

He was celebrating his new boo's birthday. Julia Fox turned 32 on Wednesday. Now, sources are saying that Kanye gifted her as well as four of her friends Hermes Birkin bags. Now, these bags range from anywhere from... By sources, you mean Kanye's PRT. I don't know. It just says sources are saying

this. Sources told me that's where we're getting it from. Yeah, so they purchased five Birkin bags and they range from anywhere from 9,000 to 15,000. So he bought them all bags. He flew into New York City just for the birthday. Hey, I have no factual evidence to back this up, but Kim don't care. Kim don't care.

She just simply doesn't care, bro. I think she got about a hundred of them But anyway T-Pain says People should stop celebrating Black History Month He's saying that they are separating us again And we have audio Any insight alright For how white people can

Can properly celebrate Black History Month The right way Stop celebrating I don't think we should celebrate Black History Month I think we should just have history I don't think we should They oversh Month. I think we should just have history. I don't think we should. They overshadowed it.

We don't want our own s*** separating us again. We want to be part of history, not just one month of it. We want to be part of history. I disagree. I mean, we are part of history. I mean, that's why people push back against anti-CRT law so hard, so we can continue to be a part of history. But there's nothing wrong with us having our own month and celebrating our own month.

And there's nothing wrong with other people celebrating black folks during the month of February. Should it be longer? Of course. But we celebrate ourselves year-round anyway. But there's nothing wrong with having a specific month. Who cares? Like, is it that serious? All right.

Now, a day ago, Young Buck, he was arrested for vandalizing his ex-girlfriend's home and car. We don't have much information on that, but that's all we know. He was arrested for that. But, you know, 50 Cent is one of those people that you just don't want to have a problem with, right? Because he never lets anything go. We know with Tierra Marie, I think she owes him a little bit of money and he's not going to stop until he gets his full amount. Well, 50 put on his page, Buck B unit, bisexual unit. Leave that girl alone.

She didn't know he had all this ish going on that Elvis did. And he best be coming up with my money, Branson Cognac. 50 said. Lord have mercy. Well, listen, man, 50's a cancer like me man 50's a cancer like me 50's a cancer like me he's petty and he don't forget nothing

but you know I choose to let a lot of that go because you know at the end of the day you know what

I would sit back and say at the end of the day it only impacts us but it really don't it actually makes us feel better when we do stuff exactly like what 50 did to Buck but

I gotta vibrate higher okay now also uh ben simmons uh you know he's been he's been getting a lot of uh i guess i would say she should kill on the elizabeth going at him calling him a cry baby said he should be playing basketball called him a bunch of names well ben simmons got back at shack in his dm we don't know what he said, but he got back on Shaq and basically said he didn't like the things that Shaq was saying with him. And, you know, Shaq pretty much said, well, if you don't like it, play basketball. Simmons hasn't played a game this season after he asked for a trade. And we don't know what's going to happen. We don't know if he's going to go to another team. He later said it was mental health,

the reason why he didn't play. But nobody knows. But he hasn't played a game of basketball in a long time. And that is your rumor report. Hello? Hi. What you talking to me for? You talking to yourself when you do rumor report? Hey, it's time for us to talk about rumors. Okay, talk about the rumors.

I don't know what to talk to. That was your rumor report. I don't know what to talk to. That was your rumor report. I don't know what to say next. Yeah, because after he says that's our rumor report, then that's when you say, Charlemagne, what's next donkey of the day? So talk to yourself. Now, do it like you're talking to yourself. Go.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

We're going to have some funny sweet s*** out of his mouth. If I say something you may not agree with, it doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey.

Donkey of the day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Hey! Donkey of the day for Friday, February 4th goes to a Massachusetts school called Zavarin Brothers High School. See, this school did something that a lot of folks continue to do, and I'm sick of it. See, this school has issued an apology after deciding to offer fried chicken

for lunch to celebrate the beginning of Black History Month. Every single year during Black History Month or during Juneteenth, something like this happens, and I'm sick of it. I'm not sick of it because they keep doing it, because I love fried chicken. I'm sick of them apologizing about it, and we'll discuss why. But first, let's go to 7 News Boston for the report, please. Controversy, now the talk of the student body at Zaverian Brothers High School. The majority white student body disagreeing over this announcement made over the loudspeaker.

In honor of Black History Month, one way we will celebrate is by highlighting a traditional meal each week that is a staple in Southern Black History. Today's lunch is fried chicken. Honestly, I think it's just a big stereotype. Could be seen as a little racist. The first day of Black History Month, they couldn't have come up with a better thing than fried chicken for, you know, African cuisine. It's just, it doesn't really make much sense. Other students saying the administration must first acknowledge that their ignorance perpetuated a racist stereotype and issue a formal apology. The school says it was an attempt to educate students about black history and culture and that the meal was chosen by an African-American food service employee. The announcement went on to say that some newly freed women

gained economic independence by selling fried chicken. That's a fact. Now, like I always say, you can't tell people how to react. All right, just because your intent wasn't meant to be malicious, just because your intent wasn't meant to offend, doesn't mean the person receiving what you did or said didn't receive it maliciously. You can't control how people feel about something regardless of what your intention is. But the reason intentions matter is because it makes the person who was offended know how to

deal with you, makes the person who offended you, makes the person who you offended possibly react a different way. So let's talk about the intention of this high school, okay? Xavier and Brothers High School. See, the idea to serve fried chicken came from a black cafeteria worker, and she said it was an attempt to educate students about black history and culture. A senior student at the school said they could have chosen a different part of African cuisine, and a lot of kids have taken the stance that it was a mistake, but there wasn't any malintent, Okay. They could have just approached it differently. Maybe. Okay.

Hindsight is 2020, even though every year, literally during black history month and Juneteenth, someone does this with either chicken or watermelon. So somebody should have learned how to properly approach this by now. Now I got a question question I want y'all to think about. Are you upset about the school serving fried chicken any other time or just during Black History Month? Because racial insensitivity can't be seasonal no matter how good it's seasoned. Okay, if serving fried chicken to black students is offensive during Black History Month or Juneteenth, then we should be keeping that same energy year-round, correct? Just a question to ponder. But the reason I'm giving Xavier and Brothers High School the donkey of the day is because the black cafeteria worker said it was an attempt to educate students about black history and culture.

Well, where is the education? They do these stunts where they serve fried chicken during Black History Month, and then when the backlash comes, the educational part goes out the window, and folks just get to apologize without using these situations as an opportunity to teach. All right, the school's principal, Dr. Jacob Conker, says the lunch message was poorly communicated. I don't think it was communicated at all because y'all didn't even get to the educational part, really. The principal put out a statement. He said, we are deeply troubled and disheartened by our failure in this instance and take full responsibility for it.

I offer my sincere apologies for the harm that our actions may have caused. Oh, my God. Dr. Jacob, you know why the message was poorly communicated? Because you didn't communicate it.

Okay, you didn't communicate it. What's the education? I'll give you the education on fried chicken and watermelon. The education is those are racist stereotypes because the white man deemed them so. The white man made fun of y'all eating chicken and watermelon. Two things that bring us joy. OK, two things that bought us money.

And because the white man put a negative connotation on it. Now y'all accept it as negative. OK, but y'all supposed to be free thinkers. Everybody loves fried chicken, all right? But it held a different level of importance for enslaved black folks because it was the only livestock the enslaved were allowed to keep, all right? Being the only livestock they were allowed to keep, okay? All right? I'm from the South, South Carolina, all day. Monk's Corner, what's happening? I was out there with my grandma chasing the chicken, all right? I watched my grandma catch chickens and snap the neck and we ate good. All right.

Fried chicken is a staple of sovereign diets. I told y'all only livestock slaves could keep was chicken and chicken was cheap and they were easy to feed and a good source of meat. And like the news report said, after emancipation, black women known as carriers, would sell trays of fried chicken and biscuits. So not only did we eat it, we ate off it by making money from it. And then in 1915 came this racist ass movie called Birth of a Nation by a cracker named D.W. Griffith. And the movie was about the supposed heroic founding of the KKK. And one scene in the movie showed a group of actors playing black elected officials. Listen to me, a group of actors playing black elected officials. Oh, they had the black

legislators drinking whiskey out the bottle, putting their bare feet on the table, just niggas nigging. All right. The picture they were trying to paint is that black people were unorganized and untrustworthy. And one of the black politicians was going to town on a chicken bone. I mean, chomping at it, treating it like trick daddy. And many of us treat our ladies booty. All right. And that one image forever changed how white people saw black people and fried chicken. The other not so subliminal message in that scene, since they were black elected officials, was these are the dangers of letting black people vote. And that is when fried chicken became a racist stereotype. So y'all let a racist white man tell y'all how to feel

about something that everybody loves and something that our ancestors used to really make money off because you know, don't nobody fried no chicken like us. Okay. Those white folks traveling on those trains. Couldn't wait to see those waiter carriers, those black women with trays of chicken and biscuits. And while we're here, let's discuss watermelon. Okay, there's a great article in The Atlantic. You can look it up yourself from William R. Black. It came out like eight years ago, and I want to read just a couple quotes from it. The stereotype that African Americans are excessively fond of watermelon emerged for a specific historical reason and for a specific historical reason and served a specific political purpose. The trope came in full force when slaves won

their emancipation during the Civil War. Free black people grew, ate, and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom. Sovereign whites, threatened by black's newfound freedom, responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people's perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness and unwanted public presence. This racist trope then exploded in American popular culture, becoming so pervasive that its historical origin became obsolete. All right. Few Americans in 1900 would have guessed the stereotype was less than a half a century old. This is all after emancipation. OK, black people grew, ate and sold watermelon during slavery. But now when they did it, it was a threat to the racial order. Listen to this. It's important. All right. Go read the article to whites. It seemed now as if blacks were flaunting their newfound freedom, living off their

own land, selling watermelons in the market, and worst of all, enjoying watermelon together in the public square. Sovereign whites saw slaves' enjoyment of watermelon as a sign of their own supposed benevolence. They was just mad that niggas was happy and free let me break this down simple and plain fried chicken made black people happy and it made black people money watermelon made black people happy and it made black people money racist ass white people don't like black folks happy and they don't like black folks making money it's really that simple drop one of clues bombs for racist white people okay drop it y'all. All right. The way y'all psychologically have ruined so many of us and got us hating ourselves and hating things that we have historically loved

all because y'all said so that's it. And that's the education and history of our culture that's missing. So when these schools and organizations put these things on the menu, let's use them as an opportunity to teach for real. Okay. You only think fried chicken and watermelon is a racist trope Because the white man made it such When you see fried chicken and watermelon You should see survival When you see fried chicken and watermelon You should see freedom

You should see products that not only tasted good But products your ancestors used to make money That's it Period Zaverin Brothers High School Y'all missed the moment to really teach. And teaching and learning is truly what Black History Month should be about. Please let the Hamiltons give Zaverin Brothers High School the biggest yeehaw.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. All right, Charlamagne, thank you for that donkey of the day. That's right. Oh, man, who we got coming in next, man? We have Nija Tewa joining us next, right?

Oh, listen, I love her. Her book is a game changer. It's called Set Boundaries, Find Peace, A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself. I had her on my late night talk show, The God's Honest Truth, last year. And I am glad she is on The Breakfast Club this morning because 2022 is all about setting boundaries.

Can't wait to talk to her. All right, we'll get into that next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. She's a licensed therapist, a relationship expert,

and a New York Times best-selling author, Nedra Tawwab. Yes. Welcome. Good morning, Nedra. Good morning. Thank you.

Thank you. Let me tell you something. Nedra has blessed my life because you came on The God's Honest Truth last year. Mm-hmm. And I knew going into 2022

that I wanted to set boundaries. But I didn't know what that looked like. And so I read your book, Set Boundaries, Find Peace, A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself. And now I have learned to set boundaries.

I thought I just said cut people off, but I know that's not a good thing. Right? Yeah. I've learned how to set boundaries. So thank you for writing this book what is the difference between setting boundaries and cutting people off cutting people off can be a boundary

but it is not the only way to have boundaries it is also you need to wear a mask until you come into this room it is also be back here at 9 p.m. There are so many ways to set boundaries, not just cutting folks off. But if you if you are setting a boundary for something, that means for whatever reason, that person is not being a positive force, a positive energy in your life. Correct. Isn't easy just to be like, I just don't want you no more. It doesn't mean they're not being positive. Maybe they're doing things to make you uncomfortable. Maybe they're doing things that don't uncomfortable. Maybe they're doing things that don't make you feel safe and you just want to change it. You may not want to end the relationship.

Most people don't want to end bad relationships. They want to repair them. So how do you repair them? You put boundaries into the relationship. You ask people to do different things. You tell them what you need and want, and that's how you're able to repair without cutting off now you may want to cut people off but there are a lot of things we can do before that that's one of the things i heard you say that really helped me it's like if you really do appreciate the relationship and do value the relationship you'll set those boundaries not because you're trying to push somebody away but because you are trying to keep them there and so that's just one of the things I heard you say.

I'm paraphrasing, of course, that really helped me a lot. Yeah, I think boundaries does give the impression that it is cutting people off. But as a therapist, most people come to therapy wanting to repair their relationships, not cut their mother off, cut their father off. They're like, how can I change my mom? How can I make her better? And we start to talk about, okay, so you need to do these things. These things are boundaries. And that's how you repair the relationship.

You can't make this person change, but you certainly can change how you view the issue. You can make requests and hope that they do it. But ultimately, a lot of the boundaries are going to be on you. Why are boundaries important? Why are setting boundaries important? It helps you have the sort of relationships that you want. In most relationships, we already have them. We're just unaware. Sometimes the boundaries are unhealthy, but we have boundaries in the relationship.

The boundaries help you decide, like, is this a relationship I want to be in or is this a relationship that I need to leave? Often we think people have to be different. How do I get this person to be different when it is us? How do we ask for what we need, which is really hard. You know, it takes some time to be vulnerable and to say to people, hey, when we're talking and you start getting a little elevated, that triggers me. Can you keep it down some? Or when you start to yell, I will take a break. They always say that, you know, we need more black people to be therapists. To be a therapist, it seems like you need a lot of patience. Is that true?

I don't know. You ever just wonder when somebody's telling you their situation, you'd be like, all right, hurry up, speed it up, speed it up. I would hope not. With my friends. With your friends, right. My friends would not. They probably are like, who you been talking to?

I'm like, girl, go, go. I think that therapists are humans and as humans we are different part of ourselves in different settings right so as a therapist i can listen to you talk about the same issue every week with a friend i may say listen you know this is the eighth time that you brought up this issue right you know have you thought about therapy? Right. But. And does a therapist see a therapist?

Absolutely. Yes. Not all. I have met some therapists who do not. I absolutely go to therapy not to talk about my clients, but to talk about all of the stuff that's happening with me. Like I have relationships that I need to work through. I have exciting things and things that aren't exciting that I need to process. So therapy for

me is important. I can't imagine asking people to be vulnerable and to share and I'm not doing that. And when people are talking about certain things, it can be very triggering. Like your stuff comes up. Like if you have issues with your parents, it will come up in that session. I remember my dog died and man, the next day my client come in crying about her dog dying. And I was like, OK, I got to talk to my therapist today because I'm like, oh my gosh, like I was already sad, but watching her be sad too, it was like, oh my gosh,

like I have a lot of stuff to process. I don't think I can go to a therapist who didn't see a therapist. Really? I couldn't either. Yeah. And last question I have is, you know, we talk about people understanding us.

Do you feel like as a black woman, you have to speak to a black therapist? Or do you feel like other people will understand me? Like, would you go see an Asian therapist or a white therapist? Or do you feel like a black therapist will understand you more? Why you do the things that you do, the way we grew up, the way we are, the way that our parents are? It depends. It depends on your issue. If you're

having, I work with a lot of professionals. So if you're having racial issues in the workplace, perhaps going to a black therapist could be helpful. If you are having family issues, you want to make sure that the therapist that you're seeing has some training in working with family dysfunction, working with children of alcoholics, like all of these sort of things. So race can be important for being able to connect, but it's also important to make sure that you're seeing a therapist who can help you with your particular issue, because you don't want to go to someone who's black,

but they help people with schizophrenia. Like that won't be helpful for you if you have anxiety so making sure that it's a good match all around is really all right we have more with nija to wab when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody is dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with Nija Tawab. She's a New York Times best-selling author. Set Boundaries, her new book, and she's here. Charlamagne? I want to talk about

Chapter 4 in your book, where you break down the six types of boundaries. Can you talk about those? Yes. So, before writing this book, I think a lot of things about boundaries was just saying no. Like if you say no, that's the boundary. But really, there are physical boundaries, time boundaries, sexual boundaries, emotional boundaries, material boundaries.

What am I forgetting? Is that five or six? No, six. Okay. There are many types of boundaries in many ways to implement them. We probably think of sexual boundaries as like really clear, but it's actually not because it can also be how you feel about something, right? Like the presence of someone, them touching you in a certain way. Those are boundary violations. I would say out of the six, the one that I see the most is the time violation. And it's usually us violating our time boundaries.

We assume it's other people always asking us to do stuff, always demanding our time when really it is us not saying no, over committing, doing things we have no business doing. You know, I'm a therapist, not a painter. I shouldn't be helping you paint. Now, if you want to talk, call me. So just being clear about your gift set and what's not your gift set. If you want to do something for someone, do it.

And if you don't, you have to say, you know, I have a lot of things going on. So I would say of those six boundaries, time is the one that is the biggest. One thing I read that hit me was the things we do to avoid setting boundaries, you know, move away, gossip, complaints, avoidance, cut off. I do all those. I do every single one of them. Why are we wired like that? It's hard to have conversations like it really is.

I remember when I was a kid, before I said something hard, I would say this. Am I going to get in trouble if I say this? Because I just wanted to make sure it was safe to say it. There was no consequence. You wouldn't be mad at me. Like all of this stuff. And we still feel that as adults, like I can't say this to this person because they'll be upset. And it could be,

you know, your partner and you don't want to say like, I'd rather go to bed early. Like it's so hard to potentially disappoint people, to potentially hurt someone's feelings because we do not know. I think people are placing boundaries all day, and most of the boundaries, it doesn't hurt our feelings. We're just like, okay, it's fine.

But we assume that when we say it to someone, it is going to destroy the relationship. It's going. But we assume that when we say it to someone, it is going to destroy the relationship. It's going to hurt them. And I would say in most cases, it does not. What about the guilt you feel afterward for setting the boundary? That's the thing that bothered me, like that bothers me the most, like I could be somewhere and somebody asked me to do something and I'd be like, no. But then I might literally be home enjoying doing nothing. And I could I'm like, I could have did that for that person, but then I wouldn't have my time to do something and I'd be like, no, but then I might literally be home enjoying doing nothing. And I'm like, I could have did that for that person, but then I wouldn't have had my time to do nothing. But then I still feel bad about it. So then I'm like, hey man, do you need me to do

such and such? What about that guilt afterwards? I think guilt is a part of the boundary setting process. We can't make ourselves feel better about something we're still learning to practice. I think once you get into a rhythm of being okay with relaxing, it will be easier to set that particular boundary. I also think that as parents is really important to think about the ways in which we are teaching our children to feel guilty. You know, if you don't call them, they're going to be sad. You know, if you don't do this, you know, get them a hug or, you know, all of these things that we do because we grow up and we feel that in many situations. We learn to consider everyone else except ourselves. And we feel really bad for resting. We feel really bad for not loaning people things even when we don't have it because our understanding is people will feel so bad. So how do we as parents, as teachers, as adults teach children that it is OK to not always think about how others might feel and to consider yourself it's okay to say no

these things are actually healthy and we can raise a generation of people who feel better saying no i don't want to come to your thing but continue to invite me because you know next time i might major we appreciate you for joining absolutely tell Absolutely.
