The Breakfast Club - Adults Stay Away from Acronyms
Episode Date: April 9, 2018Monday 4/9- Today on the show Angela Yee gave us some news about how some employers are getting more serious about health with their employees, and you know uncle Char is good for fat shaming, but wha...t is the proper way to tell someone they are overweight? So we opened up the phone lines to see what our listeners had to say. Also, Charlamagne ended up giving his good friend Killer Mike "Donkey of the Day" after he jumped the gun just a little too fast when calling out Joy Reid for representing for H&M, but little did he know the acronym stood for something else. So we opened up the phone lines to see if any of our listeners jumped the gun a little to quickly.

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts
that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,

Hey! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Good morning, Angela Yee!
Good morning, DJ M.
It's Monday!
Yes, what a weekend.
How was your weekend?
It was good. I went to my alma mater.
I graduated from Wesleyan University, and I did a TED Talk there on Saturday.
Then I went straight from there back to New York and flew out to Chicago for the Black Women's Expo.
It's the 25th year of the Black Women's Expo in Chicago. So I went there and did lip service live yesterday.
Then, of course, coming back from Chicago, my flight was delayed, delayed, delayed last night.
So I didn't actually get home till around midnight.
Oh, man. Okay.
But I had a good time.
My weekend wasn't as crazy.
My weekend, I stayed home and did nothing but play with the kids all weekend long.
I mean, my kids tied me out.
I did everything from trampoline.
I played two-on-two with my son.
We played for push-ups.
I actually, I won one and lost one.
I had to do, I think, 50 push-ups right there on the concrete.
I just had a great time.
I played cars with my son, Jackson. I did nails with my daughter, London. I did everything., I think, 50 push-ups right there on the concrete. I just had a great time. I played cars with my son Jackson.
I did nails with my daughter London.
I did everything.
Oh, yeah, your nails look good.
Shut up.
But I did her nails, actually.
Did you watch Saturday Night Live with Cardi?
I did watch Saturday Night Live.
And congratulations to Cardi B.
Yeah, she is pregnant.
She is pregnant.
Congratulations.
Drop a bomb.
Give a round of applause.
Do a bunch of everything for her.
Congratulations to Cardi B.
I liked her announcement a lot.
I thought it was dope.
I think we knew it for a long time, but I guess she wanted to announce it when she wanted to announce it.
I'm not sure the reason why.
Maybe she wanted to get out of the first trimester, which most people do,
because that means that the baby's fully formed and the likelihood of losing it is better.
Well, she said that she didn't want people having things to say.
She did a post about it, but we'll get into that in rumor report.
Well, I'm happy for her.
I'm happy for Cardi.
I'm happy for Offset.
I knew Cardi a long time when she was, I hate to say it,
but back in the strip club, and I just knew that she always had.
Yeah, I mean, she just had, like, she always was empowered.
She was always hustling.
She was always grinding.
She tells a story, like, one time where she just popped up at my crib
one time to play her mixtape.
And I just thought that was dope, so I shouldn't
say that because now every artist is going to try to pop up at my crib, right?
Well, that was back in the day, Envy.
I don't know if anybody's popping up at your crib now. Yeah, not with that dog
now, nah. They ain't messing with my crib. So,
shout out to Cardi B. I hope we get to talk to her
this week. I mean, how do you like the album?
Oh, that's the plan. Oh, no, I really like the album
a lot. I think for women in particular,
it's a very empowering album
because it's a lot of things that we can relate to.
We all go through.
She's like the hip-hop version of Mary J. Blige
when Mary J. Blige first came out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's somebody that's relatable to you,
and you can say, oh, I went through the same thing.
You feel like Cardi's one of your homegirls.
You know what?
The crazy part about it is my favorite joints change.
At first, it was, I like Be Careful.
Then I like, I like it like that.
I'll be dancing around the house thinking,
I don't know if I'm supposed to be doing merengue, salsa, bachata.
What is that?
What is that?
Salsa.
I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
But I'll be like, I like it like that.
My kids sing, I like it like that song.
I like Ring with Kalani.
I like that song.
Ring is dope.
I like Through Your Phone too, because I think it's funny.
Through Your Phone is hilarious. I like Through Your. Ring is dope. I like through your phone too because I think it's funny. Through your phone is hilarious.
I like through your phone.
People really go through that.
Yeah, so hopefully
we'll kick it with her this week.
Now, front page news
popping up.
What are we talking about next?
We are going to be talking
about Conor McGregor
and what's going on with him.
Also, we'll be discussing
Facebook and Google.
What are they doing
for their employees
to make sure that they are
more productive
and healthy at work?
Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Charlamagne is running a little late, so he'll be here in a second.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Thank you.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Conor McGregor looks like he's out on bail, right?
Yes, and he's also officially stripped of his UFC title after everything that happened where he threw
the hand truck through the window of a bus
that was carrying a number of
fighters who were set to compete. So two
of them were left injured, Michael Chiesa and Ray
Borg, and now he's facing charges of felony
criminal mischief and misdemeanor counts of
assault, attempted assault, menacing, and
reckless endangerment. So we'll
give you more of that, though, in the rumor report.
They said one of the fighters on the bus stepped to one of his people
and tried to jump one of his people, so that was retaliation.
Right.
Yeah, that's what they're saying.
All right, now let's talk about if you work at certain places,
employers are now getting more serious about your health.
Now, places like Google and Facebook and Geico,
they have all kinds of interventions.
They said employees are basically not eating that well. You know at work sometimes
a lot of things get brought up here and we might eat
things that aren't necessarily good for us.
Studies show that 70% of Americans
20 and older are overweight and more than
one third are obese.
In the 1970s it was only 15% of
Americans who were obese. So they're
saying now that's associated with a lot
of people not showing up to work,
reduced productivity while on the job because you know what you eat in the morning does affect how productive you are at work.
Well, now these companies like Microsoft, Google, Tyndall National Institute, Geico, they're hiring dietary interventionists that helps them show employees not to overdo it at work and also gives them sometimes cooking classes, meal plans, online nutrition tracking,
all kinds of meal planning services to help them.
Now, at GEICO, they're saying that they targeted employees with a body mass index of 25 or above who had type 2 diabetes, and what they are saying in the first 22-week study,
that people lost an average of about 11 pounds.
What about in jail?
Now, you can't just put big people in jail.
What I missed.
Now, think about it.
When you were a kid or
you were a teenager, there was probably one
or two fat people in your class. And I hate using the word
fat. Wow. Think about it.
What I walk in on. Think about it. We're talking about obese
people. But now you see it more and more
and more. I look at my kids' classes. There are a lot
of obese kids now. Because America
is one of these people that, I mean, America
is one of these places that instead of
actually encouraging people to work out and
lose weight, we say things like, oh,
they got a disease. Oh,
they're sick. Oh, you know.
We make excuses
instead of getting results. Because like I said, I remember
in school there was one, I hate to say
fat, but there was one fat person and
everybody made fun of that fat person.
Now it's a bunch of obese people. I think this is a really good
initiative because some people, a lot of people do want to be healthier and don't really know where to start. So what I think is... Now it's a bunch of... I think this is a really good initiative because some people,
a lot of people do want to be healthier and don't really know where to start.
So what they're doing
is providing that information for you at work.
They should start younger.
Providing healthier options.
They definitely should start younger.
But it's never too late.
And stop making excuses for people.
How y'all tell me I'm always fat shaming,
but I get hit up all the time
by people that tell me like,
look, man, I lost 10 pounds because of you.
I lost 20 pounds because of you.
I lost 30 pounds because of you.
Stop... Well, I think it's, I think number one because of you. I lost 20 pounds because of you. I lost 30 pounds because of you. Stop.
Well, I think it's, I think, number one,
commenting on someone else's body and saying what you think.
No, I'm not commenting.
You just gave a whole bunch of statistics about fat people.
I'm not talking about any one person in particular.
What I'm saying is that sometimes people are in the process of losing weight.
You might not have seen them before.
Maybe they have lost,
but you don't know what goes on in people's lives.
So I think it is important to encourage people to be healthier.
And I think it's great that at certain companies now
they are implementing plans to help people do that, achieve that.
They're nicely telling your fat ass to lose some weight,
because if you don't, you could possibly die.
All right?
Same thing I've been telling y'all on this radio for years.
Same thing your doctor going to tell you
when you go in there with that high blood pressure.
Okay?
All right.
All right.
And Facebook is also about to tell users if your data was shared. So
you know, about 87 million users
data may have been harvested by
Cambridge Analytica. So now they are planning
to post a link at the top of your
news feed that will allow you to see which apps are
connected to your accounts and what information
those apps are permitted to see so people
can know. We definitely just ruined somebody's
breakfast too. Somebody pulled up the Chick-fil-A this
morning and got them two chicken biscuits with
egg and cheese and two sides of hash
browns and they was ready to go. And it's not
bad if you do it and, you know, not
every day. Once in a blue, you can do that.
And this is once in a blue. Go ahead. Go get your chicken
sandwich. I ain't mad at you. This guy going to Chick-fil-A
every day this week. Oh, my goodness. All right. And that's
front page news. Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right
now. Maybe you had a horrible weekend
and you just need to vent. Or maybe you had a great weekend
and you just want to tell us why you're blessed.
800-585-1051.
Hit us now with The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, yo, this Brandon from Columbia, South Carolina.
803, what's happening?
What's up, bro?
Yesterday was actually Charlamagne Tha God Day in Columbia, South Carolina.
Yeah, what'd you do?
I was home.
Huh?
I was home.
You was home.
Yeah.
I mean, I was home, like, in Jersey, not in Texas.
You got to be in the Metro for that, man.
I know, man.
I got something planned soon, though.
What's up, bro?
Get it off your chest.
Well, look, man, I feel like Nicki Minaj is indirectly hating on Cardi B.
Why?
She hasn't come out.
Why you say that?
Because she hasn't come out.
She hasn't said anything.
And to a point that Angela Yee made a while back, like, for so long, Nicki Minaj was the
only rapper who could be praised on this
pedestal. When you go back in the day,
it was like Eve, Trina, Missy Elliott,
Lil' Kim, Foxy, all them.
It was productive. Hold on. So you think
just because Nicki Minaj is
quiet, she's hating? Come on, man. We gotta
stop reaching. She's been quiet since December, though.
That's a reach. But look at Drake and Tory Lanez.
Look at what they did. Drake is reposting
Tory Lanez's album
It don't gotta be a feature
You just gotta bridge the gap
And let them know like
We're together
I think it would've been
It would've been nice
For her to do that
But she also hasn't been
Posting at all
And the only thing she posted
Was an ad
Since December
Y'all gotta stop thinking
Just cause stuff don't happen
On social media
That it's not happening
Just because she don't
Post the album
Don't mean she don't support
But maybe she does
Maybe she don't
We don't know Taylor Hey Good morning mean she don't support. But maybe she does, maybe she don't. We don't know.
Taylor! Hey! Good morning.
I listen to you guys every morning, so good morning
everybody.
So you guys were talking about fat shaming and
you know, just a couple minutes ago, people getting
healthier. I'm a social studies teacher
for middle school, and
I see these kids who are overweight come
in all the time with like
nasty food that their parents bring in. I'm talking
like McDonald's every day,
Burger King. So with these
companies like teaching these adults
how to eat healthy, I think that's super
awesome because they're going to hopefully trickle
it down to their kids. Do you remember
when you were younger, there weren't that many
big and fat people in class, was there?
No, maybe like one or two.
Like I'm being honest.
Can you just say overweight? But that's part of the problem. What's wrong with big and fat people in class, was there? No, maybe like one or two. I'm being honest.
Can you just say overweight?
But that's part of the problem.
What's wrong with big and fat?
Those are words that are used to describe heavy people.
Don't call these young children big and fat.
Okay, why not?
What are they then?
There was only one or two obese kids.
Now you look at the class, half of the class is obese.
Why do y'all think obese sounds any better?
Obese, overweight, fat, heavy, big.
Those are all words that describe chunkiness. Orca? Hello? Orca. Orca, like Orca Big? Never heard of Orca Big? No, man, that's a medical term. Obese, overweight, fat, heavy, big. Those are all words that describe chunkiness.
Orca.
Hello?
Orca.
Orca.
Like Orca big?
Never heard of Orca big?
No.
That's a whale.
I don't know.
Orca fat?
What is wrong with you?
All right.
Anyway.
Hello?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was our phone.
Send us a pop-up.
Our phone.
Send me.
You had a birthday last week, man.
What's up, brother?
I'm still celebrating.
I'm coming out tonight for real.
I see that you and Soph going to be at Scarlet's one night.
Yeah.
Me and Soph going to be in Queens. You sound a little hoarse like you've been up and partying. I've been making tonight for real. I see that you yourself going to be at Scarlett's one night. Yeah, me and Soph going to be in Queens.
You sound a little hoarse like you've been up and partying.
I've been making this s*** happen.
Yo, listen.
No cursing.
Listen, bro.
This is just s***.
You got to stop, bro.
You've been late every day last week and you still late, bro.
You setting a bad example.
I'm going to tell you something.
Yesterday was a rough day, man.
I ended up.
I'm going to tell you where my life is headed.
I had brunch yesterday with Joe Budden, Maino, and Casanova.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I'm surprised you're in the rain right now.
Exactly.
What kind of brunch is that?
I don't know.
That's the reason you went to brunch
and you're late because of brunch yesterday?
Brunch yesterday was in the afternoon, bro.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
That doesn't even make sense.
What side did I keep hearing about that's popping?
I got to get there.
Think it's from a wood side or something like that?
It's L.
Black.
Mad kicks me there.
I'm going to pop out.
Yo, but Envy, I'm coming out tonight.
Bring that cash.
Bring that bread.
Bring all the change.
Why would I bring all that?
You going to dance for me?
Like, no, I'm married, sir.
Oh, man.
For the grand picture.
Oh, for the grand picture.
All right.
I got you.
It's 6 o'clock in the morning, and you already plotting on a grand picture that's going to
happen at 1 o'clock this morning in the club.
Oh, have mercy.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're man or flesh.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Thomas, what up, Thomas? off your chest. Whether you're man or flesh. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Thomas, what up, Thomas? Hey, what's going on, man? Get it off your chest, bro.
Listen, man, I'm trying to look for a job, man,
and it's not looking too good,
man. You know, they did the background check
and kind of discouraged me a little bit.
Ah, listen, I used to go down to those places
and they asked me if I ever had been convicted of
a felony. I just check yes and tell them what it is. That's all.
Yeah, man, you know, it's kind of discouraging, you know, and then you start looking at your past
and realizing that the future, you know, doesn't look too bright.
Who were you convicted of?
Well, I really don't want to talk about that, man.
Come on, talk to me, man.
You got to put it on your application.
We've all had charges.
Well, me anyway.
Me too.
I feel you, man. I feel you, man. I'm just trying to look for another job.
What you do, man?
What you do?
I'm not talking about that, man.
I'm not going to discuss that.
Wow.
You must have beat up somebody.
You beat up a girl?
No, not at all, man.
Attempted murder?
I'm not into domestic violence.
I'm against that.
Oh, okay, okay.
All right, bro.
Well, keep working, man.
All you need is one yes.
Always remember that.
No matter how many no's you get, all you need is one yes.
I feel you, man.
Have a great day, man.
Ashante. Yes. Good morning. Good morning how many no's you get, all you need is one yes. I feel you, man. Have a great day, man. Ashante.
Yes, good morning.
Good morning.
Get it off your chest, mama.
Oh, my God, y'all.
Well, first of all, I want to say good morning to everybody.
TJ and V, Angelique, Shalem and the guys.
Good morning, baby.
So I just came to the realization this weekend that, you know,
for the past 15 years, I've been fighting to keep my
kids in my children's father life and um it's not working he doesn't want to be a part of their life
clearly and he's running he's doing a great job of hiding from child support enforcement and um
you know I've tried to do everything I could to keep them in their life but I feel like you know
I've done everything I could.
So I just gotta let it go.
And people may say, you know, don't give up and whatever, but I gotta let it go.
He's not doing anything for them.
I have three kids by the same guy.
You let a deadbeat shoot your club up three times?
Yeah.
Why didn't you stop the first time?
Or the second time?
That D so good.
I have no answer for that. You know, that raw D so good. I have no answer for that, you know.
That raw D so good.
Was he always like that?
You know, back in the day, no, it wasn't.
It was more like, you know, I guess, you know, being young,
I was into that D boy.
The Doug love.
It got something.
It did something to me.
But, you know, I thought I was that, you know, down-bottom girl.
You know, I was trying to stick in there, hang it out, be there for the kids, you know.
And the words of Cardi B, you like guys that are in and out of jail.
Sorry, mama.
Well, at least you came to the realization finally before you had four.
Shut up.
That ain't that.
That's one of the good times.
I canceled that eight years ago, bro.
That's not happening no more.
Oh, you had an abortion. Well, I'm going to be out of the jail. Tuberligation. Tuberligation. No years ago, bro. That's not happening no more. Oh, you had an abortion?
Well, I'm going to be out of the job.
Tubaligation.
Tubaligation.
No, no, no.
She's saying that she stopped having kids.
Her youngest must be eight.
But she got her tubes tied.
I don't encourage a woman not to have the man in their life, though.
You know what I'm saying?
She's trying.
He just don't want to be in it.
Oh.
Well, you got him on child support at least?
That's what makes him a deadbeat.
And he's from Charleston, South Carolina. Hey! She's trying. He just don't want to be in it. Oh. Well, you got him on child support at least? That's what makes him a deadbeat. And he's from
Charleston, South Carolina. Hey!
843, baby! I don't know.
Thank you, mama. That wouldn't be a good shout-out there.
Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to
vent. Hit us up anytime. Here, we got rumors
on the way. I mean, let's get right into it and
congratulate Cardi B on her big reveal,
which was her baby bump on
Saturday Night Live. We'll tell you what happened Saturday.
Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Cardi B. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Cardi B, finally, finally, finally, after all kinds of speculation and people saying that they thought she was pregnant and people saying maybe she's not, has said
that she is pregnant.
Now, she went on Saturday Night Live and let it out.
Check it out.
You did it!
I'm finally free.
Well, drop on the
Clues bombs for Cardi B.
If you got revolted,
you probably could see it
because it wasn't
nothing you could hear.
Like, she just...
Only her screaming,
I'm finally free.
Oh, that was the end.
That was after the show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was after the show.
She just performed.
I'm happy for her, man.
I mean, Cardi B,
I seen her struggle.
I seen her grind
and she seems super duper happy. Offset seems happy. So I'm happy for them. We. I mean, Cardi B, I seen her struggle. I seen her grind, and she seems super-duper happy.
Offset seems happy, so I'm happy for them.
We all watch her come from the bottom.
I do like how they revealed it on SNL, though,
because they didn't say anything.
The camera just stayed on her face for a while
and just pulled out.
It was dope.
And revealed that body bump.
So congrats to Cardi.
It's good.
She really isn't like her face.
You know how sometimes people get pregnant,
and you can see it like in their face,
and you can see it,
but you couldn't really see it in her face. So people were having a lot pregnant and you can see it like in their face and you can see it, but you couldn't really
see it in her face.
So people were having
a lot of back and forth
like maybe she's not.
Her outfits were really
hiding her baby bumps
so it was a big reveal.
Now she's not.
Was she doing this
for her album now?
No, I'm saying
a lot of times people
Oh, you're talking about
before she revealed it.
Oh, okay, okay.
Before she said
she was pregnant.
You know, people usually
sometimes you can see
like their face gets bigger.
Sometimes, yeah.
Her face didn't get any bigger
so it was a lot of like oh, maybe she's not pregnant.
She's so small.
My wife did the same.
It was very small.
She's staying in the Bronx for a month during this pregnancy.
It's going to show.
Now Offset posted, Cardi and I look forward to our next chapter together.
And he put up a picture of the two of them.
And a lot of people were wondering, well, what was the big secret about?
Well, Cardi B said that, you know, it's too much drama.
She said, this is why I did not want to say nothing.
People be so thirsty to scrutinize and try to destroy something that is supposed to be a blessing.
Because a lot of people weighed in.
But she's happy.
He's happy.
So we're happy for them.
And it's not everybody's business.
But, I mean, you know, it's one of those things that you got to reveal because you can't hide it throughout the whole term.
Especially if you're going to be out here doing shows and stuff like that.
She's dropping babies and albums, so congratulations.
Is she still going to do Coachella?
Yeah, she is doing Coachella this weekend coming up.
So all of that is still going down.
Congrats to Bardia.
I wonder if Beyonce is going to bring her up.
That'd be dope if Beyonce and Cardi reveal a record together this weekend.
All right, now Kenya Moore is expecting her first child,
Kenya Moore from Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Really?
Yes.
Oh, she's 57, right?
She's 47.
She's about 47, 48. Alright, so she revealed
this while she was on Watch What Happens
Live, well, on the Real Housewives of Atlanta
reunion, part one. Now, don't judge me. I was
watching this last night. Don't judge me. My wife likes this.
What'd you think? Terrible weekend to reveal that you're having a baby.
Yeah, right behind me. Terrible weekend.
Hers didn't seem 100%
Well, let's play the audio in case
you didn't see it. Any word of a baby twirl?
Well, he or she wouldn't be named twirl for sure.
That's my dog's name.
Right.
Yes.
We will definitely be welcoming a boy or girl in late this year.
All right.
So, yeah, she doesn't want to say how far along she is yet.
She's very early.
You can tell by that statement.
She's still very nervous, she said, so she wants to make sure she gets into a safe place.
I mean, that is a scary time, you know, for women whenever they feel like they want to come out and say what's going on.
Especially when you're 47.
Oh, my goodness.
First trimester.
First trimester.
The first trimester is tough for anybody, though.
But especially when you're 47.
We got to see here.
We're about to make up some excuses for nothing.
I'm not making up excuses, but it's up to anybody when they decide they want to tell.
I guarantee you any doctor will tell you if you're 47, it's a little bit more difficult.
Well, over the age of 40 is difficult.
Yes, that's a fact.
It's the truth.
I know, but in general, the first trimester is a rough trimester for anybody.
Which is the truth.
Yes, and way more rough when you're 47.
All right, now Drake has also put out some new music over the weekend.
Nice for what?
And he put out his music video alongside the new song
Issa Raisin and Letitia Wright, Yara Shahidi,
a whole lot more people in that video.
Check out a snippet of his new song, Nice For What.
That's a real one in your reflection
Without a follow, without a mention
You really piping up on these
You gotta be nice for what to these
I understand, you got a hundred bands
You got a baby Benz
You got some bad friends
High school pics
You was even bad then
You ain't stressing off no lover
In the past tense
You already had them
Work at 8 a.m.
Finish round five
All down
You don't see them outside
Yeah, they don't really be the same offline
I'm gonna play the full version in the mix today.
By the way, you can't even be sarcastic no more
because on Friday night, I tweeted out,
damn, Drake couldn't let Cardi B live a full 24 hours.
He couldn't wait until midnight.
This really became a topic of discussion.
Like, I was serious.
It's why social media needs sarcasm fun.
But I will say, salute to Drake for that.
Drake is dope.
And that video was a cheat code, by the way.
If you take all those women, especially those those women of color and put them in a video
during this moment of time
up in Me Too
and Women's Empowerment
cheat code.
I bet you Chance the Rapper
is sitting somewhere
like damn he stole my idea.
God's plan was the same.
You know what matter of fact
Draco you were running
for office or something.
What's up with all this
pandering you're doing man?
He's doing what he gotta do.
The next video I heard
that he's gonna redo
Whitney Houston
I Believe the Children
of the Future
and it's gonna be all about kids
and he's gonna give up.
Stop it.
Stop it. Stop it.
He's buying a school.
That's what I heard.
So everybody likes the song, though.
Yes.
He's buying a school in Chicago, from what I heard.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
Now, earlier we were talking about obese people and big people, right?
And fat people, right, Yee?
What was the story?
We were talking about companies like Facebook and Google and Geico
actually providing dietary interventions at work, where they're showing people how to be healthier, providing healthier options at work, and even giving cooking classes.
Right.
And I was telling you when I was a student, there weren't that many fat kids in the class.
There were like maybe one or two.
But now when I pick up my kids, half the class is overweight.
We definitely used to have this one girl in our school who was really, really big.
And she used to wear this purple Phoenix Sun starter jacket.
So the big sun was on her back.
So we would all walk around her like we were the planets.
That was the joke.
Where is she now?
I have no idea.
Oh, my God.
I haven't gone on Facebook in a long time to see where she is.
All right.
Well, let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
Charlemagne is sometimes people call him a fat shamer.
Which is whack.
Sensitive people call me fat shamer.
The way he talks to obese people.
Which, by the way, all I ever say is, take your fat ass to the gym.
So we're going to open up the phone lines.
Your big ass need to eat right.
That's not fat shaming.
800-585-1051.
What's the proper way to, I would say, encourage somebody to lose weight?
Yeah, I just want to say from my side of things,
I don't think you should ever really comment on people's bodies
and you don't know what they've been through.
Like, I know women who just had a baby.
They have gained a lot of weight, and people might not know that if they see them.
And if somebody says, take your fat ass to the gym,
we don't know what they're going through.
And sometimes they've proven that even people sometimes who have a different body type,
they go and they work out, and they don't lose weight like other people do.
So sometimes it's more of a struggle for people than it is for everyone else.
I don't direct it at anybody when I talk like that, but I do direct it to men more because I say,
what kind of man are you if you look down and can't even see your penis?
You know what I'm saying?
It's just all stomach.
You don't want to be all butt and gut your whole life, do you, my guy?
800-585-1051.
What is the proper way to talk about somebody losing weight?
Call us up right now.
And when we come back, we got front page news.
We'll tell you about Conor McGregor and
more fat people. Well, more ways to lose weight,
I should say. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
Degas. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Conor McGregor, he's out, huh?
Yes, he has officially been stripped of the UFC
title after that whole situation
where he threw the hand truck through the window on the bus that was carrying the different fighters who were set to compete.
Now, two of those fighters were left with injuries from broken glass, Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg.
He's facing charges of felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor counts of assault, attempted assault, menacing and reckless endangerment.
Now, according to Dana White, is he ever going to fight again?
Well, originally, Conor McGregor was scheduled to fight again perhaps in September,
but now he has to go to court on June 14th.
And Dana White, while at first had ruled out Conor McGregor ever returning,
he's now not sure.
Yeah, because he knows that Conor McGregor is a draw.
I actually gave Conor Donkey of the Day for that last week,
but I gave it to him for the wrong reason.
They said that he wasn't upset that he got his title stripped from him.
He was actually sticking up for a friend.
Yeah, somebody allegedly tried to jump his man, so he was retaliating.
That don't make it any better.
You know what I'm saying?
I can't retaliate every time somebody tried to do something to me
or one of my people.
I mean, you can, but you're going to go to jail for it.
Like he did.
Yes.
All right, and now let's talk about
Facebook and Google and Geico
and a slew of other companies
now are trying to make sure that their
employees are healthier at work
by providing healthier food, but they're doing
more than just that. What they're also
doing is a dietary intervention.
Now, this project
is very ambitious. What they are doing
is making sure that they not
only stock their cafes and kitchens with nutritious meals but they're also doing on-site cooking
classes and giving people all kinds of dietary counseling individually and that is just to help
make people more productive because they have shown that people who are suffering from diabetes
obesity will miss more days of work and also people generally do want to be healthier,
but sometimes they don't even know where to start.
It's amazing how the white man got to tell you things
that your Uncle Charles have been telling you for years.
Maybe they just worded better, okay?
But I've been telling y'all to lose weight for years
because being obese leads to all of these different health problems like diabetes.
Well, they're actually providing the tools to show people how to be healthier.
They're not just telling them you're fat.
What, telling them to take their fat ass to the gym?
Telling them your fat ass needs to eat better telling them you're fat. What, telling them to take their fat ass to the gym? Telling them
your fat ass
needs to eat better?
No, eat better.
What's the difference?
Because a lot of times
people are at work
and the options
that they have to eat at work
just like at school
might not be the best options
that's making them gain weight
so now they have people
that are actually showing you
how you can eat good,
the food tastes good
but it's healthier.
But we need to do it younger
because like I said earlier
when I was in school
there was one or two fat people in the school.
Now, when I pick up my daughter from school, there's like half of the class is overweight.
By the way, it's not just about what you eat at work either or what you eat at school.
It's about what you do during the day.
Instead of sitting around being on your computer all day, being on your phone all day, playing video games all day, go out there and do some physical activity.
Run around.
We used to play basketball all day long.
We used to run in the yard for no reason.
These kids not doing that no more.
Well, the initiative has been working out.
They did the first 22-week study,
and they said that there was an average of about 11-pound weight loss.
As soon as you tell somebody they're overweight,
stop shaming me.
Why are you fat shaming?
I'm not fat shaming.
I'm telling your big ass to lose some weight.
All right, what else we got?
All right.
Facebook is going to let users know if their data was shared with Cambridge Analytica.
They're going to start alerting the 87 million users whose data may have been harvested by Cambridge Analytica
and let them know could they have been affected by that.
And they're going to actually email you and post a link at the top of your news feed
that will allow you to see which apps are connected to your Facebook accounts
and what information those apps can see.
Facebook should also start letting
users know your weight.
As soon as you start getting
big, just alert your followers.
You're 20 pounds overweight. That'll get
people in shape.
Thank you, Yee, for front page news.
When we come back, let's talk about it.
What is the proper way to tell people to lose
weight? Charlamagne's a fat shamer.
You know, sometimes he goes a little hard.
Or is it encouragement?
Like, hey, you might need to lose weight.
Hey, do you want to live a little longer?
That's cute.
Do you want to see your kids and your grandkids?
Is that the way to do it?
Or does Charlamagne put your fat ass in the gym?
You know a good way?
When you get to the airport and you be like, hey, sir, you're going to need two tickets.
All right?
You're going to need the extra seatbelt. You're going to need the extra seat belt.
You're going to need the extra seat belt.
All right?
My goodness.
800-585-1051.
Hit us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, Angela Yee was telling us about a story about trying to help
people lose some weight.
Right.
We're talking about different companies and organizations, and now what they are doing at work is having dietary interventions
where they have somebody that can come in,
make sure you have healthier eating options in the workplace,
and also teach you how to do things like cook and eat better.
All right.
So we're asking 805-85-1051,
what's the proper way to try to get people to lose weight?
Now, Charlamagne has a strong and aggressive way of doing it.
I don't have a strong and aggressive way of doing it.
My father just always told me that the quickest way between
two points is a straight line. I would rather
just tell you exactly what's wrong, because
if I tell you exactly what's wrong, then you can do exactly
what's right to fix that problem. So why not
just say, look, my brother, you're fat as hell,
go to the gym. Like, look, my brother, you're fat
as hell. When you look down, you can't see your penis. You need to
start eating right. What's wrong with that? But there are some people who go to the
gym and still haven't lost that weight yet.
And it's a struggle because different people's bodies are different.
How they lose weight is different.
So we don't know what it is.
And sometimes people are embarrassed to go to the gym.
Why?
If you eat right, no matter what you do, if you eat properly, you will lose the weight.
But I do think sometimes being a little too aggressive will encourage people to be scared and cry and not take it the right way.
Well, here's the thing.
Either you allow me to be aggressive or that diabetes is going to be aggressive.
All right?
Either you allow me to be aggressive or that high cholesterol is going to be aggressive.
I mean, you can be thin with high cholesterol and diabetes.
That disease you're going to get is going to be aggressive on your ass.
That disease you get from being obese ain't going to play with you.
So why not take somebody's harsh words and go to the gym?
Because in this day and age,
people don't take
those harsh words.
And there's also,
you can also be
productively help somebody
without having to say
it in a harsh way, too.
What's the way?
You can say,
hey, listen,
let me know if there's
anything you need.
I've been working out
and doing better
and I have some ideas for you
because I myself
was having some issues.
What's that got to do
with them being fat, though?
See what I'm saying?
What's that got to do
with them being fat?
Because we don't,
I think it's really hard to judge other people's bodies.
I'm not judging.
It is.
I'm not a judge.
But that is somebody's personal body.
If I look at you and you're 300 pounds, it's not judging you to say you need to lose weight.
It's telling you the truth.
But if you tell me that or you say, hey, fat ass, get your fat ass to the gym.
You can't see your fat ass.
Penis over your fat ass.
If you my man, I'm definitely talking to you like that.
My homeboy Noodles right now that comes up here that does all the rooting for everybody,
black jacket, fat as hell.
And I let him know that every chance I get.
Now, what happens if Noodles can't take it one day?
He's having a bad day and you do that and you push him to the limit and he does something crazy.
You know what I tell him?
I'm not going to be one of your pallbearers because I ain't that strong.
See?
All right?
To carry that cat that's your fat ass.
You know what?
Hello?
Hello?
Hey, good morning.
Good morning. Hi, good morning. Good morning.
Hi, it's me.
Good morning, Mama.
Do you think Charlamagne is too aggressive?
And people are too aggressive when they're like,
Why is this about me?
Badass.
You're the one that's like that.
I kind of agree with Angela Yee on it.
Like, you don't know what people are going through.
You have to give words of encouragement.
There you go.
Not be like, oh, take your fat ass to the gym.
You just got to tell them, like, okay, I'll go with you.
Because I'm slim, but I go to the gym and stuff like that.
So I always encourage people to go to the gym
or to figure out a different way to lose weight
instead of telling them they're fat.
What if I say...
Because a lot of people go through something.
Yeah, people have all kinds of issues.
They're dealing with work, with family.
You don't know what's going on.
What if I say, I'll go with your fat ass to the gym.
That's just the same, man.
800-585-1051.
How can we get people, or how do we talk to
people who might be a little overweight and encourage them
to lose some weight? Now, if you think about it, Shalem,
you go to the gym, I go to the gym. I don't really see fat
people in the gym like that. I do.
I see overweight people in it because they're trying to do better.
And I see them in the gym and they be like,
I'm in here because of you. Like, my brother.
That's what's up.
You know what I mean?
I mean, for some people that works.
Some people say, I love how you tell Charlamagne to stop fat shaming people because I hate
when he says that.
It just depends.
It's different for different people.
Well, guess what?
I want you to be at all them fat people's funerals.
Okay?
Since you care so much.
Everybody who's overweight doesn't die.
And there's people who are thin that aren't healthy either.
Let's take some phone calls when we come back.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
That's why everybody fat.
All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning aren't healthy either. Let's take some phone calls when we come back. Excuse me, excuse me. That's why everybody's fat. All right.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, we're talking about
how to get people to lose weight
without necessarily being
as aggressive as Charlamagne.
Without saying,
fat ass, go to the gym.
Fat ass, you can't see your penis.
Fat ass, because your stomach
is too fat.
You fat ass, look at your d***, you fatass.
I'm going to start screaming at fat people now.
DJ Khaled wants you to eat a salad.
You know what?
That's what I'm going to start doing.
Hello, who's this?
Hello, this is Lynn.
Hey, Lynn, you sound pissed off.
No, I'm not pissed at all.
Okay, we're talking about how to encourage people to lose weight.
If it's a loved one, I feel like you should incorporate, like you should work out with them
and come up with like new ways to eat and incorporate healthy meals and snacks.
Somebody you work with, I just feel like you can do the same thing.
Maybe try to get them to be your gym partner or something.
I think those are all good options.
And I think even for yourself, even if you're not overweight and you want to encourage somebody else,
there's changes you can make in your own lifestyle that could be beneficial
and help somebody else do that as well. So you guys are doing it together.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, it's D from Jersey.
What's up, bro? We're talking about encouraging people to lose some weight, man.
Hey, man, you can't encourage people to not be lazy. It is what it is. Fat is fat, up is up.
You know, if you fat, you fat. You 5'5 and 250, you fat.
You 6'5 and 250, you might be a little muscular.
It depends on if you like LeBron James or not.
He said fat is fat and up is up.
That is the truth, though.
Up is up, down is down.
Real quick, I got something to say real quick.
I'm tired of Envy lying all the time to the people talking about calling me. I'm telling them when you're mad, then when you call and you get through,
old boy, like, hey, you want to talk about this?
Hey, you want to talk about that? No, you want to talk about that? No,
I want to tell you why I'm mad. Like I might've been mad about something like,
well, you was too late, man. We got, we got 30 calls.
Nah, you said call anytime.
All right. Tell us now. Why you mad?
Why you mad?
Oh, well, all right. Well, I'm mad, man. I'm tired of this mumble rap, man. Bring real rap back.
That's what I want to hear. I want to hear 90s rap, early 2000s rap.
How old are you?
I'm 33.
Let me ask you a question. Do you have title?
I was born in the 80s. Don't try me, Envy. Don't come for my
age card. My brother, do you
have title? Yeah, I got title. I'm on everything.
Title, YouTube.
It's Mad 90s Playlist on title.
Go to your 90s playlist. Yeah, but I want to hear it on the radio.
Why? It's 2018.
Why don't we play 90s?
Guys, this is how to do the topic.
All right.
Edge, don't worry about the topic right now.
You said little flip.
Hey, Charlamagne, them cookies was nasty, too, that you promoted, too.
I just want to tell you, I bought two cans of them.
Them cookies was trash, bro.
Well, you don't need them anyway, fat ass.
That's why I'm glad it was trash, you fat ass.
You don't need no goddamn cookies, fat ass.
Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, you used to date a fat girl.
Yeah, I used to date a fat girl back in the day.
How did you get her to lose weight, or did you?
I, well, for starters, you know, she was very, very attractive.
She's very beautiful.
So, you know, for starters, I felt as though, you know, she would look way better if she lost weight.
Right.
So, instead of just insinuating, you know, that she should start eating healthy and just telling her, you know,
oh, I think you should lose weight, I actually got both of us a gym plan, a gym membership.
Okay, there we go. Be active. Right.
We both active. You know, we both encouraging each
other to go every day, you know, instead of going
by yourself, you know, because I go to the gym by myself
and it's kind of hard to stay focused
long there, long term when I'm by myself.
That's supposed to be me being with someone.
I feel you. All right. Well, what's the moral of the
story, guys? The moral of the story is, man,
you know, regardless of what motivates you or what doesn't motivate you, just be active, man.
You know what I'm saying?
If you fat, the truth to the matter is you need to lose weight because it does lead to all kind of health problems.
Period.
All right.
And I think in general, fat, skinny, no matter what your body type is, it is important to make healthier decisions because I definitely know some skinny people that eat terribly.
Here we go making excuses.
We just and that's that's the problem. Yes, we do know skinny people that make terrible also. Here we go making excuses. And that's the problem.
Yes, we do know skinny people that make terrible decisions,
but America is dealing with an obesity problem.
That's why I said no matter what your body type is.
There will be no solutions.
Being fat is not what's up, period.
So you can hear Charlamagne saying and get upset,
but I would rather hear from me than hear from my doctor in five years.
Well, be healthy regardless, all right?
How about that?
All right.
Now, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, we're going to talk
about Jay-Z,
his sit-down interview
with David Letterman
that was on Netflix
on Friday.
I know a lot of you saw it,
but we'll have some recaps
for you in case you didn't.
All right,
we'll get into all that
when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
This is The Rumor Report
with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Yes, so as you all know, Jay-Z was on David Letterman.
This was on Netflix on Friday, and they talked about a lot of different things.
Now Jay-Z talks about his relationship with Kanye West and how he's always been the same.
Check it out.
Really, like literally my little brother is Kanye.
And like your little brother
things happen sometimes. We don't come
from the same mom and dad but
I've watched Kanye
without an album. The thing that I respect
about him is he is the same
person. Like he interrupted our studio
session and stood on the table and started rapping
and we were like, could you please
get down?
He was like, no, I am the savior of Chicago.
I was like, you didn't even have a record.
Now, one thing everybody was talking about was David Letterman and Jay-Z sharing stories of their infidelities and how they've moved forward past that.
Here's what Jay-Z had to say about saving his marriage.
Much like you, like I have a beautiful wife who was understanding and knew that I'm not
the worst of what I've done. And like we did the hard work of going to therapy and we love each
other, right? So we really put in the work and, you know, for years, like this music that I'm
making now is a result of things that have happened already. And like you, I like to believe
that we're in a better place today, but still working and growing.
And, you know, I'm proud of the father and the husband that I am today because of all the work that was done.
David Letterman also told his own story about how when he got caught cheating, it was one of the scariest times for him.
Check out what he had to say.
It's hard work. In saying that, I don't mean that, oh, I'm heroic.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's as scared as I've ever been in my life.
Yeah, yeah.
Not to discount the pain I caused others.
But I can't imagine not coming through it.
Right.
You know, the end result is still a work in progress,
but I now know I'm a different person and I'm not going to,
my worst fear is not coming to pass.
You know, it's interesting, man. I watched that
interview with David Letterman and Jay-Z and
I said to myself, what do I like more
nowadays? Do I like Jay-Z's interviews
or his music more? You know what I mean?
Because I feel like watching
the evolution of Sean Carter,
the man, is so much
more interesting right now than his music.
Even though it is reflecting in his music.
It definitely reflected in 444, but just to sit there
and watch him have certain conversations
that I don't think he would have had 10 years ago,
I feel like it helps all of us grow
as human beings. Because we don't know this side of the whole.
We've heard 20 years plus of his music,
but the fact that he's being so open and so candid
is something that you enjoy to hear.
He has always been open. In his music.
In his music. But just to see him actually just sit there
and be revealing about himself and his personal life,
I just love the evolution of Sean Carter.
I think that, you know, I grew up saying
that the greatest story of evolution
was Malcolm Little to Malcolm X,
but now I think it's Jay-Z or Sean Carter.
Like, I think it's on that level.
And mind you, these are things that Jay-Z
doesn't have to share, him and Beyonce,
but I feel like part of the reason why he's sharing it
is because he knows that it's a story
that can help out a lot of people.
Makes him very human, because it's not something
of himself that we have
to hear. Right, and it's like every time
I listen to a Jay-Z album, it's reflecting
where I'm at in my life. You know what I'm saying? Whether
it's dealing with me and infidelity,
or dealing with therapy,
or black economic empowerment, like it's always
like, damn, that's what my life is right now.
Right.
All right.
Now, Tiffany Haddish is going to be executive producing a comedy series that's in development at HBO.
It's called Unsubscribed, and it's an examination of female blackness.
That's how they're describing what it is.
Female blackness, beauty, and identity through a behind-the-scenes look at the Instagram hustle.
So that project is the first that she is doing under her first look deal with HBO.
We're dropping the clues bombs for Queen Tiffany Haddish.
Instagram hustle.
So what, Instagram models and stuff like that?
Yeah, I guess this is going to talk about, you know, female blackness, beauty, identity.
And they're looking at the Instagram hustle to look at those different topics.
Well, there's going to be some people that can get on that show and promote their T-shirt lines.
All right.
In addition to that, by the way, Tiffany Haddish is also going to be writing the intro for richard prior diary she's working on that project
alongside richard prior's wife jennifer lee prior so that book is due out in october but she's going
to be doing the intro to it remember she always talks about how she did that comedy camp and
richard prior was there and gave her advice yeah richard prior huge fan of his. Richard Pryor told her that when people come to comedy
shows, they want to laugh. That's right.
That's it. They want to have fun. That's a fact.
Yes. Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and
that is your Rumor Report. Alright, now
when we come back, Charlamagne Donkey of the Day?
Yes, Donkey of the Day and it hurts my heart to have to
do this, but it has to be done because Donkey
of the Day does not discriminate. Donkey of the
Day has to go to my brother,
one of my top seven favorite rappers of all time,
a man I truly consider a friend.
Killer Mike.
Oh, boy.
This is just too good to pass up, Mike.
This is why old n****s need to stay away from acronyms, okay?
I just had this conversation with y'all last week about myself and acronyms.
I just found out what SJW meant.
SJW.
Yes.
What does it mean?
Exactly, old n****s.
What does it mean?
Social justice warrior.
I had no idea.
I thought that it was one of the DJs from In Living Color.
Wasn't it the DJ S1?
Sean Williams?
That's what I thought.
I thought it was R&B group.
I was like, SWB?
Sarah Jessica Parker changed her last name.
Oh, I'll rip acronyms from the 90s now.
TLC, SWB.
I'll kill that.
My goodness.
All right.
Donkey, the day's up next.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the Day is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Charlamagne the devil?
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Donkey of the Day for Monday, April 9th goes to my brother, the good brother, Killer Mike.
No.
Now, let me give you all the back story on my relationship with Killer Mike.
I have known Killer Mike since 2003, since I've been doing radio at Hot 1039 in Columbia, South Carolina.
Dropped one of Clues' bombs for the 803.
That's when I first met Killer Kill.
Not only is he one of my top seven favorite rappers of all time, that man is my friend.
And one of the first conversations we ever had was about D4L because Laffy Taffy had just came out and I was commenting on that record being whack.
And he said to me, OK, now, them boys from D4L will whip your ass.
All right. Don't let Laffy Taffy fool you.
OK. And Killer Mike and I have been friends ever since.
Now, I know y'all was trying to cancel my guy, Killer Mike, a couple of weeks ago because he sat down with the NRA and had a conversation about black gun ownership.
And the NRA spun my brother's words and used it to make it seem like Killer Mike was against the March for Lives movement.
And y'all went in on Killer Mike.
And Killer Mike knew he got got.
He owned it.
But I personally didn't think that was donkey worthy.
But the universe must have wanted my brother to get this donkey because yesterday on social
media, Killer Mike truly earned
one. Now, one of the people who called
out Killer Mike when he sat down with the NRA
was Miss Joanne Reed from the MSNBC
show AM Joy. Drop one of
the clues bombs for Joanne Reed. Yes.
Now, Joanne was on IG yesterday
and she posted a pic of her glam squad
with the caption, and not to be
outdone,
at GLA Lux and Cynthia who rocked the H&M for our Elgin Baylor shoot,
hashtag AMJoy, hashtag glam squad.
Now Killer Mike, who was still clearly a little salty about Joanne coming at him,
he's still thinking about Joanne coming at him over the NRA thing,
he left this strong and wrong comment on Joanne's page.
He said, so me doing an interview about black gun ownership with the NRA is bad,
but you're promoting a company that tagged a black child a monkey.
All right, that's good.
That's cool.
That's acceptable.
Okay, check.
Shaking my head.
Now, the company that Killer Mike is referring to is H&M.
We all remember the coolest monkey in the jungle shirt and all of that.
Joy-Anne responded,
At Killer Mike, H&M stands for hair and makeup.
Oh, my goodness.
The two women beside me in this pic did my hair, H, and makeup, and for a shoot. The blouse I'm wearing is by Norris O'Fell Ferrari,
and I doubt you can buy it at the retail chain you're thinking of.
I got it from a designer via a stylist,
and here I was thinking you were an intellectual
and not just a guy who hangs out in a sunken place
talking guns with the NRA's official black guy
who literally changed his last name to black.
I immediately hit Killer Mike, and I said,
first of all, I sent him a bunch of laughing, crying faces.
And then I talked to him, and I said, bro, you just got to take the L on this one.
And this is why old niggas need to stay away from acronyms.
I was just having this conversation last week.
These kids confuse me with acronyms.
Now, Joanne's not no kid, but acronyms ain't my thing.
I'm from the 80s, 90s era.
Usually we say HMU for hair and makeup, though.
I don't know what that means.
I would think HMU was a college if you said it to me.
I know SWV.
I know TLC.
I know BET.
I know MTV.
I know NBA.
I know NFL.
After that, you pretty much got me on all acronyms, okay?
LOL, I know that one.
I know that one, okay?
But my man Killer Mike is on the phone because Killer Mike actually wants to give himself
donkey of the day.
Killer Kill.
Oh, man.
I came here to humbly, man, you know, accept my thoughts of the other day and definitely
provide an example for what you do when you mess up.
And that's to say you're sorry.
So I apologize to Joy.
And yesterday, and I'm apologizing again today And to people who love me and believe in me,
my bad, you know? What made you
jump the gun so fast, Killer? Yes,
Killer is my brother. What made me jump the gun so fast
is I don't understand acronyms
because I'm old like Charlemagne. I tried to tell you.
Yeah, but acronyms
have gotten me in trouble, whether it's NRA
or HL. But to be very
honest with you, black people, I'm just
like, I'm going to hold a standard.
And if the standard is we're not rocking with certain people, I'm never rocking with them again.
I'm never eating at Houston's again, never shopping at H&M, not doing NRA format and stuff because it pisses my people off.
But really, I think the grander lesson for me and everyone is when you mess up, you just say sorry.
I've done that. But beyond that, I'm still out here in the community going for it.
And I'm still telling people that video you put up on your page of the husband and wife training the farms.
Yes.
Make people get out there.
Get to training every weekend.
Get out the house.
Stop watching TV.
Get out there.
Learn how to fish, farm, garden.
Learn how to shoot, train.
Just do for yourself.
All of my stuff comes from a positive and loving place.
If I mess up, I say I'm not bad, but I'll be at the firing range
when I get home in a couple hours.
I'll see y'all out there, man, training.
We got to take care of ourselves.
That's right, my brother.
And I think that is an important lesson for everybody
because sometimes we're so stubborn and we don't want to just admit we're wrong
and say sorry, but we all mess up sometimes.
And the best thing to do.
You got to.
I'm telling you, I don't have, you know, my thing is I'm a rapper.
I don't ask you for money after I do things for the community in terms of a positive way.
So I don't have no vested interest in trying to lead or take anything.
So I simply say whatever I do, I do for my heart, whether it's sending kids to New Orleans or bad trips or getting people to vote for a man named Keisha.
But with that said, I'm so passionate about y'all.
If I make a mistake, I don't have a problem saying I'm sorry.
I say I'm sorry to her.
I say I'm sorry to y'all,
but I'm going to be back out there helping my people today and tomorrow.
That's never going to change.
If I was doing that while I was ever famous,
I'd be doing that long after my old days.
Hey, and Kill la Kill, the moral of the story is, man,
stay away from acronyms this year.
No NRA, no H&M.
Don't even go to no NBA games, my ****.
Hey, man, speaking of love and respect,
man, y'all, when y'all come to Phillips Arena next year
with the Hawks, man, y'all make sure y'all come and stop
by the Swag Shop. We'll be in there. You'll be
able to get a cut, talk sports, and tell me what you think.
My man, Killer Mike, got another black-owned business
in Phillips Arena. That's huge.
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
I love y'all. I respect y'all. Charlamagne, you're a
true friend for Paul to be like,
hey, buddy, you messed up this time.
We gonna go ahead and get it.
Man, shout out.
My brother.
Guys, man, stay well.
I'll see y'all in the community doing the right thing.
Look, man.
W-T-H.
Listen.
What's that mean, White House?
What the hell?
No, White House.
What does it mean?
What the hell?
Oh, what the hell?
Oh, my gosh.
Listen, some donkey of the day
is just selling themselves, man.
Please give my brother, Killer Mike,
the sweet sounds and the hammer tones.
Oh, now you are the donkey
of the day.
You are the donkey
of the day.
Yee-haw.
But what we're not doing is we're not canceling Killer Mike.
All right?
No.
Don't get no black in Killer Mike.
That man is from Atlanta.
He went to Morehouse.
He owned several black businesses,
hires a bunch of black people,
married to a beautiful black woman.
We're not, he banks black.
All right?
That's one thing we're not doing is canceling Killer Mike.
You ain't going to challenge that man's blackness.
Well, he jumped the gun.
So I shouldn't have said anything about that. He JTG.
Oh, yeah.
He jumped the gun.
He JTG.
He jumped out the window.
So we're going to ask you, 800-585-1051, have you ever jumped the gun?
You jumped before you really knew or understood what was going on,
and you wound up looking dumb?
Story of my life.
800-585-1051.
We're going to talk about that. Have you ever jumped the gun? When we my life. 800-585-1051.
We're going to talk about that.
Have you ever jumped the gun when we come back?
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, Killer Mike got donkey of the day.
Now, why did he get donkey of the day, Charlamagne?
Killer Mike got donkey of the day because he's an old N-word like myself.
And, you know, old N-words got to stay away from acronyms, man.
I mean, these acronyms are very confusing.
Joanne Reed, salute to Joanne Reed.
Joanne Reed got online and said that she was with H&M or getting H&M or whatever, which means hair and makeup.
But Killer Mike thought she was talking about the clothing store.
So Killer Mike went at her for supporting H&M because, you know, supporting H&M is like they did the whole campaign with the young boy and the monkey and the coolest in the jungle and all that good stuff.
Right.
So we're asking 805-85-1051.
Have you ever jumped a gun?
Charlamagne, have you ever jumped a gun on something?
I know you have.
Yeah.
But that's why, you know, that's why I always tell people you have to measure twice in order to cut once.
You know what I'm saying?
Like sometimes you just got to pay attention.
Like, you know, I even do that still.
Like, last week,
when I gave Conor McGregor Donkey of the Day,
I gave him Donkey of the Day
based off, you know,
an article that was out there
about him being upset
that he got scripted
his light heavyweight title
or whatever it was.
But that wasn't the case,
you know?
So, like, yeah,
we do jump the gun,
especially in this area.
That's why I try to pump
my brakes every now and then.
I jumped the gun
two weeks ago, bad.
My son,
I got a problem in the house with turning off the lights.
I tell him, turn off the lights every day.
Turn off the lights in your bathroom.
And I came home one day and he didn't.
So I pulled his Xbox out and I ran over it with the truck, right?
Whoa.
I know.
Okay, that's ridiculous.
No, but I've been telling him to turn these lights off for months now.
So you ran over the Xbox because of the lights?
Absolutely.
I had to prove him.
Like, look, this is that serious.
But then when I looked at the cameras, I found out that it was Gia's mom that actually went in the bathroom.
And she has dementia and forgot to turn the lights on.
So you had to buy another Xbox.
I had to buy another Xbox.
I jumped the gun a little bit.
What about you, Gia?
I'm trying to think of specific examples because I feel like it happens frequently.
Especially with people that I work with.
Because sometimes one person might
do something wrong, but it's because they got wrong information.
I can't think of a specific example, but I know that I try to be really cautious of it
and try to feel out both sides and also just be careful how I address people, because if
I don't know a whole situation, I don't ever want to say anything and then regret it later.
Measure twice, cut once.
But it happens.
Hello, who's this?
It's JD from Boston.
JD, we're talking about Jump
the Gun. Have you ever effed up, jumped in, was like, oops,
I went too far? Oh, man, listen,
man, I went through it with my
lady. So me and my lady have been together for like
six, seven years. And, um, yo,
you know, one day she was just like, she was like, listen,
life is getting a little boring. You work,
work, you sleep, you work, you sleep, you work, you sleep.
Um, she's like, yo, can we get a little interesting?
Like, can things get a little interesting? So I'm like, all right,'m like all right cool let's do it so she's like you know i'll be
opening things in the bedroom so i'm like you know every man thinking threesome threesome so i'm like
hell yeah so this is we texting each other back and forth we end up i end up getting home and
like i'm all sauced up this i went and got some toys and fruits and thinking I'm about to try to think of a girl.
Right, right.
And then he opens up the Bible and says it's time to bring Christ into our life, bro.
Oh, whoa.
Yeah, you jumped the gun, bro.
And I'm sitting there like, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, like, is this a joke?
Like, you know, Ashton Kutcher come out.
Like, I'm thinking I'm getting punked.
And she's like, no, it's like through Christ all things possible.
She's like getting biblical on me.
Meanwhile, I'm like, I'm feeling guilty because I got all these nasty things going through my head, man.
I just sat there, took the L, bro, jumped the gun.
Damn it, man.
Measure twice, cut once.
That's all I can tell y'all, man.
Measure twice, cut once.
800-585-1051.
Have you ever jumped the gun on something?
Call us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club. Now, we're talking
jumping the gun on something.
Now, if you haven't heard earlier, Charlamagne
gave Killer Mike Donkey a day. Because,
you know, he
jumped out the window yesterday when
Joyanne Reid got on Instagram
and Joyanne Reid said something about H&M
and Killer Mike came at her thinking that she was supporting actual H&M,
the clothing store, when in fact she was saying an abbreviation for hair and makeup.
And that's why I say us old Negroes just got to stay away from acronyms.
Let's just stick to the acronyms we know.
SWV, TLC, NBA, NFL.
Okay?
EBT.
And especially on social media, sometimes people tweet or put things on Instagram,
and we take it the wrong way, and we're wrong.
I do that all the time.
It happens all the time.
Hello, who's this?
This is Romello.
Hey, what's up, bro?
You ever went overboard on something, man?
Yeah, yeah.
I jumped the gun on my lady.
You know, she had blessed me.
We've been together 19 years.
We've been together 20 years.
We've been married for 18.
And so she gave me a threesome one time with a friend.
Oh, gosh.
And we did it, whatever.
And my conscience was eating me up.
You know, one day she told me she was going to have lunch with her friend
and they were going to go to the library or whatever.
And I'm thinking, because she done it with me,
that maybe she owe her friend a favor and she got to do it with her friend now.
So I followed her thinking that, you know what I mean?
Like they was going to do it with her man type of deal.
And I just got caught out there following that.
And I was just tripping, man.
And she was just like, see, that's why she didn't want to do it in the first place.
And it was just crazy, man.
You ended that one for yourself.
Yeah, I definitely did.
Ammon, man.
Thank you for calling.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, I'm Jaya.
Hey, Jaya.
We're talking about jumping the gun.
You ever jumped the gun on something?
I jumped the gun on many
occasions with my ex. We actually
were dating for three years, and
I was his first girlfriend.
I thought he was cheating on me, like having sex with a girl
that he was working with. So I would, like, go
through his phone and, like,
kind of, like, creep around his job.
So you like this Cardi B album?
Oh, girl, I love it.
Did you ever find anything?
Oh, he was cheating on me,
but it wasn't with the girl that I thought it was.
Okay, so you jumped the wrong gun.
You jumped the wrong gun.
Did you stay with him?
I jumped the wrong gun.
No, hell no.
I dropped that n***a while I was laying.
Why?
The next guy is just going to cheat on you, too.
Shut up.
Geesh.
Hello, who's this?
This is Randy.
Randy, you ever jump the gun on something, bro? Oh, yeah, DJ Envy. Matter of fact, I'm from Columbia to cheat on you, too. Shut up. Geesh. Hello, who's this? This is Randy. Randy, you ever jump the gun on something, bro?
Oh, yeah, DJ Envy.
Matter of fact, I'm from Columbia, South Carolina, so shout out to Charlamagne.
803, what's happening?
803 in the house.
But, yeah, I was in the mall, and I was walking, and this young lady and two young ladies were
walking past me.
And then one of the girls said, damn, he ugly.
And I thought she was talking about me, so I was like, f*** you, bitch.
Whoa.
And then she turned around and looked at me.
She said, I wasn't talking about you.
I was like, oh.
Damn, f***, I already told her, f*** you, bitch.
Now what do you do?
That means somebody called you ugly before and you was heard about it, though.
No, no, seriously.
I had never been called ugly before.
That's why I was offended.
And when she said that,
I just assumed
she was talking about me
because I was, I mean...
Did you apologize?
I couldn't say nothing
because I was like,
oh, well, my bad.
And I walked out.
My bad.
Damn it, man.
Hey, man, have a good day, ugly.
You ugly ass.
All right, Charlamagne.
All right, brother.
All right, now,
what's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story
is measure twice, cut once.
My moral of the story is just ask questions before you go at somebody.
You might be wrong, okay?
There you go.
And if you are right, then go in.
All right.
We got rumors on the way?
Yes.
Let's talk about Rick Ross.
It was his daughter's birthday, and you won't believe the kind of gift that he gave her.
Also, Black Panther on Black Jeopardy.
I know you guys saw Saturday Night Live over the weekend, so we have that for you.
All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Yes.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
I just want to say, Angela Yee, F you.
Why?
Because you're going to bring all that West Indian Caribbean food here this morning.
Shout out to Mango C from Brooklyn.
And you know I'm on a detox, so you know I can't eat that.
Oh, it's delicious.
So that's messed up.
You got all them chicken wings.
What is F you?
Florida University?
You still on that?
What's F you?
It means F you.
Forget you.
That's technically F Y.
That's why it don't make no sense.
If you're saying what I think you're saying to her, it'd be F Y.
I'm not playing this game with you.
They bought mac and cheese. They bought all the different kinds
of wings. They bought red velvet
waffles. Oh my goodness. But you ain't talking about
obesity this morning. I didn't eat that.
He's doing his detox.
She did. I didn't eat it.
Alright, well let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Black
Jeopardy.
It's about time. What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report.
Rumor report.
This is the rumor report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, if you guys saw Saturday Night Live over the weekend, they did the Black Jeopardy
segment, and that was with Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa from Black Panther.
And here's what happened.
Karen brings her potato salad to your cookout.
Uh-oh, T'Challa.
Before I answer a few questions,
this woman, Karen, she is Caucasian, eh?
Yes.
And she has her own recipe for potato salad, eh?
Yeah, yeah.
And although I have never had potato salad,
Of course.
I sense that this white woman does not season her food.
That's right.
And if she does, she will probably add something unnecessary like raisins.
I know, right?
So, something tells me that I should say.
Say it.
Oh, hell no, Karen.
Keep your brand-ass potato salad to yourself.
That's the one time I laughed during all the SNL.
Really?
Well, actually, I laughed twice.
I laughed during that, and I laughed when Cardi B yelled out,
Saturday night,
we're going to send the night
and go to church in the morning.
That was funny.
All right.
So that was on SNL.
Now, let's talk about
Rick Ross.
It was his daughter's birthday.
She had her sweet 16.
And guess what she got
for her birthday?
She got a brand new
Bentley truck.
Nice.
Yeah, that's a beautiful,
great 16th birthday present.
So he wrote on her Instagram,
I got to thank MTV, Khaled, and everyone who performed and or attended
her priceless Sweet 16 party tonight.
Oh, dropping a clues bomb for Rick Ross, raising the bar really high.
I don't know where you go from here, sir.
When you start off with a Bentley truck at 16,
what, you going to have a spaceship by 21?
Pretty much.
Now, Kendrick Lamar's Damn has become his third album
to hit one million sales, so congratulations to him.
That's his third million-selling album
that was released nearly a year ago.
Bow Wow is going to be coming to the Breakfast Club, apparently.
But he's not planning on doing a lot of interviews.
This might be his dead last interview.
Now, he went on social media.
He posted a picture of us. This was last week. He said, Now, he went on social media. He posted a picture of us.
This was last week.
He said,
next week,
my last and final interview.
You look great.
You got a huge pimple.
They said you had
a period pimple.
It was probably
a dairy bump.
He said,
next week,
my last and final interview ever.
It will be a classic.
Could have been did,
but see,
the guy was out.
I told Envy,
no, he got to be there.
If we're going to do it,
let's do it right.
Hashtag final interview.
Hashtag, I don't F with media. Hashtag, I hate interviews. Here no, he got to be there. If we're going to do it, let's do it right. Hashtag final interview. Hashtag I don't F with media.
Hashtag I hate interviews.
Here's what he said.
I just want to apologize in advance.
I know I got a lot of press to do this upcoming week.
And if y'all feel like I'm dry because I don't f*** with you.
I don't like the press.
I don't f*** with the media.
They never like to talk about the work.
They always want to f***ing gossip and ass s***. That don't got nothing to. They never like to talk about the work. They always want to gossip and ask.
They don't got nothing to do with why you there.
I'm here to work.
I'm not here to gossip.
I'm here to talk about what's going on in my personal life.
You can cancel the month if you don't want me to come up.
I really don't give a breakfast club is confirmed.
And I'm excited about that.
Now, I will say you cannot go on that whole rant and then say you're doing The Breakfast Club.
That's exactly what we all do.
Yeah, that's what we all do.
Definitely don't know what you're talking about.
You'll be up here talking about real things.
I mean, I haven't heard any music to talk about with you.
He dropped a single a couple of weeks ago.
We can talk about Like Mike.
I think Like Mike is a classic.
That was like 10 years ago.
We can talk about Lottery Ticket.
Lottery Ticket was great.
That was like eight years ago.
Yeah, but I still watch it on Rehearsal.
He said he is going to be addressing a lot of his personal issues on his album,
so I assume we're going to have to talk about those.
Okay.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
Did we ever talk about when they were saying Bow Wow had got sexually assaulted by his bodyguard?
We asked him that before, right?
That's what we do.
Every old rumor that we know of Bow Wow since he wants this to be his final interview,
we put all of that on the table.
I can't imagine this will really be his last interview, though.
No, but it sounds great.
All right.
All right, so we'll kick it with Bow Wow, I'm sure, this week.
And that's true.
He did want to come up here,
and I think that was the day Charlamagne was out.
He was like, no, I want the full Breakfast Club.
So that was true.
Anyway, let's get to the mix.
Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow.
Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next.
I know a lot of you wanted to hear that new Drake,
so we're going to start off the mix with that Drake.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
