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 more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into 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,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams
and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself. It's okay. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best,
and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
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.
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. Listen to Escape from Zaka-stan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-a-stan
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
I don't want to show you love today!
I get more nervous in this room than anywhere else.
It's on your radio right now!
Do you know how to pop that coochie for a girl?
There you go!
It's the world's most dangerous morning show.
Got the cameras, I'm out of here.
God, Greek, what kind of show is this?
My son listens to this show.
The Breakfast Club.
With DJ Envy.
The captain of this bitch.
With Angela Yee, the only one who can keep these guys in check.
With Charlamagne Tha God.
I'm a lovable asshole.
And this is The Breakfast Club, bitches.
What's up?
Hello?
I'm right here.
I can't hear you, though.
You didn't say anything.
I did.
You didn't say nothing.
I did.
You can't hear me?
Can y'all hear me? Nope. I can hear you now. I said't say anything. I did. You didn't say nothing. I did. You can't hear me? Can y'all hear me?
I can hear you now.
I said good morning, USA.
We didn't hear you. God damn it.
Start over. Start over from the top.
He tried to blame everybody else.
That was on. Dramos, you heard me, right?
Nope.
Good morning, USA! JNV. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Monday. Yes. Yeah, I was
on. Jarvis, did you hear me?
Very weird. Not in here.
No, he didn't hear me either. Okay. Alright. Well, good morning, guys.
How are you feeling? How was your weekend, everybody?
Maybe the weekend was good.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe.
Yeah, I said, how was the weekend?
The weekend was good. I tried to go outside
for a walk, as I've been doing, but
it was so many people outside, not
social distancing, no masks
on. I was like,
I'm going to just stay home. I went right back home.
Weather was beautiful. We had about
75 on Friday,
77 on Friday, and then on
Saturday was like 75,
and then Sunday was like like 70 weather was beautiful
we stayed in the backyard the whole time I opened up the pool
so the kids were in the pool the whole time we barbecued
and grilled
just had a great weekend the kids really really
enjoyed it was something different for them because
usually they're stuck in the house or just running
around outside but they were able to get in the pool
we had a great time so
a lot of fun over the weekend man
that's what I did.
I enjoyed outside all weekend, man. You know
how, well, I'm from the South.
I'm from South Carolina, so
we used to sit on the porch all day long
like your grandmother would find. So
much joy and comfort
in just sitting on the porch all day, just sitting
outside. That is where
I'm at in my life, ladies and gentlemen.
I like to just sit outside.
I can sit on the deck.
I can sit, you know, I can sit on the porch.
I can sit outside literally all day long and do nothing.
Yes.
And absolutely enjoy it.
Yeah, I did.
I definitely had a great week and enjoyed being outside.
And then there was a lot going on, all right?
Now, the versus battle, Nelly versus Ludacris was Saturday night.
Very entertaining. Yeah, the versus battle. Nelly versus Ludacris was Saturday night. Very entertaining.
Yeah, it was entertaining.
It was entertaining.
What I expected to happen happened, though.
I mean, I didn't think that Nelly could keep up with Luda in any way, shape, or form.
You know what it comes down to?
It comes down to Nelly having a big, big, huge commercial
record, right?
And records, yeah.
But Luda has a lot of more
cultural records.
His cultural catalog
is bigger than Nelly.
Nelly didn't even play my joint. Nelly didn't even play number one.
How you didn't play number one, Nelly Moe?
No, he didn't play number one.
Yeah, it was a good battle. It was entertaining.
It was a storm in St. Louis, so Nelly
couldn't get his Wi-Fi together at first.
And then when he finally got it together, it was still
a little crazy, but it was still a great
battle. I enjoyed it. And then
Sunday night, the finale of
The Last Dance with Michael Jordan. Wow.
That was great last night.
Episodes 9 and 10. It was, man.
I really watched that
I watched that
Last dance
And when it was over
I said to myself
I understand
Every single
You know
Hysteria
That surrounded
Michael Jordan sneakers
From the long lines
Oh yeah yeah yeah
To the high price tags
You know
People did a bit much
When they was killing
Each other for them
But if you rob somebody
For a pair of Jordans Ever in your life, I can understand why.
Why?
Because he caused that much hysteria.
He did.
You think about it.
You think when people see their favorite celebrity, they break down crying sometime or they pass out or they say something stupid or they do something stupid.
I can see somebody pulling out a gun when they see somebody with a pair of Jordans on and saying, let me get those.
Just because that's the kind of hysteria that he caused.
And, you know, when you live it in real time and you watch it, you're like, damn.
But it's another thing when you go back and watch it in hindsight, you really, really get it and understand it.
Yeah. I mean, I know a lot of us are Michael Jordan fans.
I mean, just to see that the flu game wasn't really a flu game, it was really a food poisoning game with something else too.
I was like, that's crazy.
I've been hearing that for years though.
I've been hearing that for years. About the five guys
who came to his room and
gave him a pizza and then he felt
like he got poisoned. What's crazy is
those same five guys,
the reason they never got caught is
because they got out of the pizza business and opened up
a burger franchise.
Oh, shut up, man.
And I was wondering why they,
I wonder if they went back to the pizza shop to see if it was poison,
if they were questioning or anything, you know?
So many questions.
They probably ain't had time.
Then they say, they say, that's still a lie, too.
Well, I don't know if that's a lie,
but people still say, oh, no,
he was out drinking in Utah the night before.
I'm like, where is there to go get,
I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of places
to go get drunk in Utah.
Yeah. Would you want to?
Nah.
He seemed like he was too focused for that.
Jordan seemed like he was too focused for that.
Alright, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we
talking about? Yes, we are
going to be talking about a man who won
$10 million in
North Carolina. Let's find him.
Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast
Club. Good morning. Club, let's get in some front page news.
Where we starting, ye?
Well, Kevin Love from the Cleveland Cavaliers is back at work and he's talking about training at the team facility in Ohio.
Here's what he had to say.
One guy to a basket. We have four main baskets and everybody's in masks and gloves.
The players are the only people not shooting with the gloves on.
So it's just the it's the coaching staff. It's the training staff.
It's anybody else, you know, that's in the arena.
But we are like constantly making sure that we're disinfecting, constantly washing our hands and just like continuing to distance each other in the right way.
So we're taking all the necessary precautions.
The NBA is definitely coming back.
Kevin Love is one of the players who is really hoping that the NBA season
resumes this year.
So we'll see what happens.
I saw a commercial for it during the last dance last night.
That's when I was like, okay, yeah, the NBA is coming back.
They ran a commercial for the NBA last night.
All right, rest in peace to actor Fred Willard
He died at the age of 86
He was a veteran comedic actor
And his daughter told TMZ
My father passed away very peacefully
Last night at the fantastic age
Of 86 years old
He kept moving, working and making us happy
Until the very end
So he was on a lot of different comedy shows
Back in the 90s
Sister Sister, Roseanne, Access America, The Simpsons.
He starred on The Weird Al Show, Maybe It's Me.
A lot of people know him as the news director in the Anchorman films.
He also played in a lot of cult comedies over the years,
like Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Date Movie, Epic Movie, so on and so forth.
He was on Madden Family, Ally McPhail, Family
Guy, King of the Hill, Mad About You.
And most recently, his final role
is in Space Force. It's a new sitcom
from The Office creator Greg Daniels
that will premiere on Netflix May 29th.
Okay.
Rest in peace to him. I don't know who that is,
but rest in peace to him. You'll know
it if you see his face. You'll definitely know who he is.
And in North Carolina, a man won $10 million on a lotto ticket.
It was the largest scratch-off prize in the state.
He bought a scratch-off lottery ticket.
He was on the way home from work.
His name is Wade Harmon.
He stopped by a truck stop to just try his luck.
And he said he went home, fired up the girl.
He said, I might as well scratch my ticket.
And then he looked down and said, whoa.
Wow.
And so that is that $10 million prize.
So he chose to take that lump sum.
And after taxes and everything, it ends up being $4.2 million.
Well, congratulations to him, man.
Absolutely.
That's a blessing, especially at a time like this, right?
Yeah, I was surprised they still, well, he did a scratch off, right?
Yeah, it was a scratch off.
Okay, because is Lotto still going on?
Because, you know, you want people to stay inside and to have the Lotto.
People can go outside and play lotto.
I was just...
I mean, if the gas station's open, yeah.
I guess you're right.
If the gas station's open, the lottery definitely still going to be going on.
Yeah, there were only four $10 million top prizes.
Three of them have been claimed so far.
So somebody else got that last one.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider
this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like,
this is mine. I own this. It your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullet holes.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
And we're losing daylight
fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring
stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
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.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,

Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is 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, DJ Envy.
Hey, who's this?
This is the Yoni lady.
Hey, good morning, mama.
Good morning.
I'm coming out of Savannah, Georgia, and I just want to get off my chest
that I hope they don't keep going back and forth
with this shutdown stuff
because a small business owner can't take it.
And people like myself who have been doing right the entire time, I stayed in.
I don't have my nails done or my toes done or anything.
And I just relocated to a bigger building.
So I'm ready to open and ready to, like, start making money.
I still haven't opened yet.
But, like, I feel like if they keep doing this,
they can kill all the small business owners.
What state are you in?
I'm in Georgia.
Did you get any PPP? Did you get any of the
stimulus packages they put
out there for small businesses?
Well, I did apply and
two people around me have gotten there,
so it kind of gave me hope that it is
possible that I could get it,
but I haven't gotten it yet.
But fingers crossed, I hope I do get it.
I hope you do, too.
Yeah, and, like, my website did really good,
you know, during the pandemic.
But it's like, I'm a service person, too,
so that's really how, you know,
I make my bread and my butter.
And I'm, like, full-thread, you know, entrepreneur, small business butter. And I'm like full thread, you know, entrepreneur, small business on the toes.
I'm like.
What do you sell?
I'm the Yoni lady.
I do Yoni Steams, the Vagina Detoxes.
Ah, okay.
Remember, she called.
She called a couple times.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, okay.
Well, shout out your website, baby.

extracurricular activity in the bedroom
right now. That's right.
There you go.
Take care of that hairy vagina.
You ain't had a wax in a long time.
Your hair probably look like my head.
Thank you guys so much.
Have a good one.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
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?
Yo, Envy.
What's going on, bro?
It's Mello.
Mello, what up, bro?
Mello.
Yo, I was listening on Friday, and I heard somebody call me a scammer.
I think that was Sean Stone that called you a scammer.
I believe it was.
Exactly.
But we're going to sit there and act like the only scam that was ever pulled on this radio station was you playing his music.
That was a horrible diss track.
Stop it.
That wasn't a scam, though.
That wasn't a scam. Nobody got finessed. That was a scam. That was a horrible diss track. Stop it. That wasn't a scam, though. That wasn't a scam.
Nobody got finessed. That was a scam.
That was just a bet. It was good.
And it was a scam because remember when y'all had everybody
calling and vote? He only had one vote
but he pretended he was somebody else.
That is a fact. That was a scam.
Yes. That was a scam.
Sitting in town calling me a scammer. Other than that, how you
guys doing though? We're doing pretty good, Melo.
What's up? How you holding it down
during this quarantine, brother?
You know, like I said,
just working on the craft.
I'm not going to tell you
what the craft is.
I'm not going to sit there
and say who's skimming.
I'm not skimming.
Like I said,
just keeping it that way.
Mello, it don't take that long
for dope to cook up, okay?
You've been cooking that dope
all weekend now.
I'm cooking dope.
Why do you have to assume that?
Maybe I'm working on something
that I can't reveal yet.
True, true, true.
Okay.
Yes.
It's a secret.
Well, I'm proud of you, Mello, whatever it is.
No, I'm not.
I'll take that back.
It's not illegal.
Trust me.
All right.
As long as it's not illegal, Mello.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, what up?
It's Money.
Money, what up?
Get it off your chest.
Yeah, man.
With the Democrats and the Republicans,
you know, they both thirsty leeches.
You got one that'll suck your flesh and your blood,
and then you got the Democrats, somebody that'll suck your soul.
So it depends on which one they want to go for.
You know, even with Biden and the sexual allegations,
all politicians did it, whether it's Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clinton.
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama
got his own sexual allegations.
And I know Charlamagne said,
all black men don't cheat.
And we got to remember, Obama ain't all black.
He got some mixed blood in him.
This is a terrible theory this morning.
That's a terrible generalization
that you just put on everybody, sir.
This is awful.
I'm confused. This is awful. I'm confused.
This is the only time protests matter.
You have protests for police brutality, which does matter.
And then you have protests for war, which does matter.
But this protest towards COVID-19 matters because you have a bunch of white folks
that don't get their face covered.
And it's been a fifth weekend, and they ain't got sick.
So we all see that.
How do you know who's sick and who's not sick?
I can't.
You have a great morning, bro.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Now, you got rumors on the way?
Yes, let's talk about some of these versus battles.
We'll talk about Nelly and Luda,
and then we'll also discuss some potential up and
coming ones. Alright, we'll get into that
next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
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.
So it was another versus battle over the weekend, Nelly versus Luda.
And there were some technical difficulties on Nelly's end.
So there was some stalling and some issues.
I saw Teddy Riley was in the comments LOLing about it.
And I think unanimously a lot of people would say that Ludacris won this battle.
But a lot of people would say that Ludacris won this battle. But a lot of things happen.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, yeah, the difference between Nelly and Luda is Nelly doesn't have those big cultural records like Luda.
He got big commercial records, and culture will usually prevail against commercial.
Nelly got big cultural records.
I just think Ludacris has more of them.
Nelly got, like, three.
Tip Drill, Air Forces.
I think number one, which he didn't play.
But, I mean, yeah, after that, it's all big commercial joints.
Not a country grandma for Nelly.
I don't think country grandma is a cultural record.
One of the best things about the battle is learning things that you never learned before.
So people were excited to find out about Nelly originally on Moneymaker.
That'd have been dope.
And then another thing that Luda actually did during these technical difficulties was he previewed some new music.
One song people were talking about is called Silence of the Lambs featuring Lil Wayne. Stand for what you believe in Like Kaepernick You either in control
Or you getting of no abstinence
It's not enough blacks
In the driver's seat
Like a NASCAR
Cause most racist people
Still drinking
What's at Roseanne's bar
Gandhi told me to be the change
That I wanna see
Yeah, I don't even understand
Why people were mad at him for that
Like why they mad at him
For taking chances on a record
Like he's clearly naming people
That have been deemed problematic
in the R. Kelly line.
He's stating the way
a lot of people feel about R. Kelly.
He still like his art,
but it makes them feel uncomfortable.
All of them are like that, though.
Everybody he named, R. Kelly,
Bill Cosby, Roseanne,
they all have done problematic things,
but people still like their art.
I think it's slick wordplay.
I definitely hit him
for the full version.
He told me the second verse
is even crazier,
so he hasn't got it to me yet.
So I'm going to hit him and Timbaland again today.
But I've been on it.
When I heard him, I'm like, wow, record sounds dope.
And Country Grammar is the happiest record to ever do a drive-by to.
And it's a very delightful drive-by record, by the way.
Going down, down, baby, your street in the rage.
All right, now let's discuss some potential upcoming battles.
Is there potentially a Brandi versus Monica?
A lot of people have been calling for that,
but here's what Brandi had to say about that possibility.
I heard that she doesn't want to do it.
She pretty much turned it down.
She didn't want to be a part of that, but I understand.
Oh, it might happen now.
I'm going to tell you something.
They need to do that at the BET Awards this year.
The BET Awards this year, I'm sure, is going to be virtual in June.
Swizz and Timbaland and Jesse Collins, all of them need to get together.
And if they do do it, make it a celebration of Brandy and Monica's music,
which is still a battle at the BET Awards.
I don't know how they would do that, though,
because they would have to kind of cut it short, right?
But it's a way to do it.
Yes, that'll be virtual for sure.
Now other potential.
Versus battles.
Now this caused some controversy.
As you can imagine.
Usher was talking to Swiss Beats.
And he suggested.
Well a suggestion was brought up.
About a battle between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj.
And here's what Usher said.
But then to see Lil Kim versus Nicki. Yeah but, and here's what Usher said. But then you see Lil' Kim versus Nicki.
Yeah, but, you know, that's...
Nah, she...
Nicki is...
You already trending on Twitter
right now, by the way.
You know the Barbz went crazy. They did not like
that Usher would say that
Nicki Minaj is a product of
Lil' Kim.
Nicki Minaj would say that, though.
Like, what's the problem?
Like, everybody has pioneers.
Everybody has people that inspired them in some way, shape, or form.
Nicki is a product of, you know, Lil' Kim.
Lil' Kim laid that foundation.
She even redid the hardcore cover.
Yeah, she redid that, yep.
Just like she's a product of Lil' Wayne.
Just like she's a product of Missy Elliott In a lot of ways
It wasn't meant to be an insult in any way
But the barbs get a little cray cray
I will say Usher was wrong
I don't know if Usher was saying that they can't battle each other
Because she's a product
Because that's not true
They can definitely get busy against each other
Song for song
Just because she's a product of a person
Don't mean that they don't have to do a versus.
Well, the other thing is these are supposed to be
friendly battles. So I think
that's the other issue too. Yeah, that would get thrown out
the window. Absolutely.
Alright, now let's talk about
Swizz was actually then talking with Busta Rhymes
on who Usher could battle and here's
what was said. Who do we see Usher
celebrating with? I see Usher versus
Chris Brown.
I see a lot of Usher versus Chris Brown. He gotta go with Chris Brown.
I see a lot of
Usher versus Timberlake,
but for the culture...
Listen, man.
Usher and Chris Brown
gotta be it, man.
That's another battle
people have been throwing out there.
Usher versus Chris Brown.
Yeah.
Usher will watch Chris Brown.
I think Chris Brown
is super talented.
He's probably got this...
He's got my second favorite
R&B song
of the past 10 years, which is F.U. Back to Sleep. But Usher would watch Chris Brown. super talented. He's probably got this. He's got my second favorite R&B song of the past 10 years,
which is F.U. Back to Sleep.
But I sure would watch Chris Brown.
I don't know about watch.
I think that would be a good bottle, bro.
I don't see why.
I love Chris.
Chris is dope.
He's super talented.
Yeah, but he don't have no 8701 or no Confessions, sir.
And he got a lot of great features as well.
You don't have no 8701 and no Confessions. It's just not happening. Chris got a lot of great features as well. You don't have no 8701
and no confessions. It's just not
happening. Chris got a lot of records, though. It wouldn't be a
wash. They would go wreck the record.
They would go wreck it. Here's the thing, though. Y'all say records.
Does he have 20 classic
joints? Yeah, Chris Brown
definitely does. Chris does. Absolutely.
That's disrespect for the usher.
What? Chris has...
Chris Brown has 20 records? He certainly Usher Chris has 20 records
He certainly does
He has 20 records
But are they classics
Usher got 20 guaranteed
Smoker, heater, lifetime
Timeless records
We know this
Alright now let's talk about another potential battle
Fat Joe was talking to Ashanti
And here's the battle people are asking for
Ashanti, Keisha Cole
Would that be a
great one? Listen if they want
to see it I ain't mad. Ashanti
versus Keisha Cole and Keisha Cole posted
the songs that somebody did. Somebody did
a whole song for song between the two
of them also. Everybody's talking
about battling. People are down for it.
Yeah and also Snoop was
talking about battling Busta and he said he would definitely
battle Busta.
That's a solid one, too.
I don't know if they would do that,
but I would love to see either Snoop and Busta or Snoop and DMX,
the dog and the dog.
I thought that would be dope, too.
Dog and the dog.
Actually, I think Snoop and 50 Cent would be a good one,
because if you look at Snoop and 50 Cent musically,
they've kind of had the same trajectory.
They both came out with these big, big, big, big debut albums.
And then things kind of cooled off a little bit after that,
but they still put out,
you know,
records that people rocked with here and there.
I think that they would be a good,
good,
good one-on-one battle.
50 Cent versus Snoop Dogg.
All right.
Well,
I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor reports.
Yeah.
And Charlamagne,
he has,
he has well over 20.
Yeah.
But on a big,
big records, go look at Usher's catalog and tell me, and you'll see, he has well over 20. Yeah, but on a big, big record.
Go look at Usher's catalog and tell me, and you'll see the difference.
Nice and Slow, My Life, Confessions, Burn.
Like, Usher got big records, man.
My boo.
So does Chris Brown.
Nice and Slow.
I think you also came up on Usher.
You were a little older when Chris Brown came out,
so maybe you don't look at it the same.
Transform you, yeah.
Look at me now.
But he has huge records. She Ain't You, like, Strip. Like, he has a lot of joints. You were a little older when Chris Brown came out So maybe you don't look at it the same Transform you, yeah Look at me now
She ain't you
Like, strip
Like, he has a lot of joints
I think all those records are dope
But think about the records I just said from Usher, man
Loyal
I mean, it's two different times
It's two different eras, bro
It's two different eras
And?
Yeah, you grew up on Usher
We grew up on Usher
So it's a different
You telling me you think Chris Brown can take Usher?
I didn't say that. I said that he wouldn't wash him.
That's the difference. It would be a good battle.
I think it
wouldn't be as close as people think.
Especially when you hear those records
side by side. I think you're wrong with that one.
Imagine, by the way,
loyal versus nice and slow would be
amazing. These hoes ain't loyal
compared to something like nice and slow.
The contrast to that would be incredible.
And Usher would get the W.
All right.
Well, we got front page news coming up next.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Where we starting, Yee?
Well, let's give you guys some updates on what's happening
as the U.S. is opening up nationwide. And they are saying this is a balancing act. They're
trying to reopen the economy without having a second spike of coronavirus cases. As of now,
all but two states have loosened restrictions to help curb the spread of the virus.
Some states are allowing limited gatherings. Others are allowing restaurants and some businesses to reopen with caution.
So let's give you some updates in Texas.
Officials did report the highest single-day increase in new cases over the weekend,
but the governor is also saying it's because there's been more testing also.
Restaurants, movie theaters, malls have been open for a little more than two weeks,
and the governor is expected to announce the next step today.
In Florida, health officials are saying there's about 777 new coronavirus cases.
And they're saying today the state will enter into its first full phase of reopening, which will allow restaurants, retail stores and gyms across Florida to reopen with certain restrictions.
In California, the state is now in phase two of the four reopening phases.
And the governor there said that while he's empathetic to residents' concerns,
he wants to go ahead and move forward safely.
So, those are just
some of your updates. I saw a lot of the apples. Some of the
apple stores are going to be opening finally
also in some states.
Now, health officials are also doubling down
on the dangers of mass gatherings.
So, just as you're
now allowed to go to the beach and as you know next week is memorial day weekend and people are
attending church and eating inside of restaurants health officials are also saying gatherings in
large groups could send states back to where they started so be very careful in north carolina
churches can resume indoor services a federal judge did grant churches that right. Even though the governor said that they're prohibiting services with more than 10 people, a judge did give them the right.
So larger worship services are allowed as long as they are outdoors.
That's such a mixed message, man.
Like you can't reopen a state, open up the beach, open up the churches and then tell people they can't have large gatherings. What do they think is going to happen when they open up the beach, open up the churches, and then tell people they can't have large gatherings?
What do they think is going to happen when they open up the beach?
I guess they're trying to just do maybe 30%.
Just 30% of the church, if the congregation is usually
1,000, maybe only let 300 in
just so we can practice social distancing.
How do you regulate that, though?
Especially at the beach.
Do you have people at the beach keeping people
off? What do you do in a situation
like that? Well, they were saying that even with parking, they're not going to allow parking.
So if a parking lot has 100 spots, they're not going to allow 100 people to park there.
They only allow 30% of the parking to go there.
So hopefully that'll cut people back from going.
Even they do that at the parks here in Jersey now.
If you want to go hiking or if you want to go walking, they cut off half the parking lot so everybody can't get in at the same time.
Yeah, but what if it's four people in a car? That's true.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know how they controlled it.
Alright, well, it's interesting with the church
services because a person who
later learned they were positive
for coronavirus attended a
California religious service on Mother's Day
and exposed 180 other
people to the coronavirus.
According to local health officials, they did contact
people who were at that service
to notify them and tell them that they should
self-quarantine.
Tough. And in Georgia,
gyms are starting to reopen, gyms
and fitness centers. And what
they're doing there
is they're allowing, this is how they're doing it,
they're doing social distancing guidelines.
So right now the spa, sauna, basketball court, and kids club will be closed.
Other changes include checking in one by one, limiting building occupancy,
removing or making some equipment unavailable.
They also have contactless check-in, hand sanitizer upon entry,
and they have additional staff that's dedicated to sanitizing the equipment
and frequent touch areas and pre-shift screenings.
Masks and gloves are required for all the employees.
It's just so weird, man, because, you know, even yesterday, the U.S. health secretary, I think his name's Alex Zarr.
He said that there's no spike in coronavirus in places that have reopened.
But it just all sounds like mixed messaging because then you hear that.
But then you hear the stuff about in Texas, even though you know it's because they're testing more people now.
It's just like, I don't know what the hell to believe at this point.
I really don't.
All right.
Well, let's open up the phone lines.
There's a lot of places that have opened and people are out and about.
800-585-1051.
Would love to know what your city looks like right now.
We're talking like Georgia.
I know Atlanta was open.
They're having restaurants open.
Partially open.
A friend of mine was DJing over the weekend for a day party.
It wasn't packed, but you could tell it was 30%.
So people are out and about.
Florida Crazy Ass never closed.
Florida Crazy Ass don't seem like they ever closed.
Texas.
Florida, Texas.
So we want to talk to you guys.
Are you out and about?
Yeah, I just want to know if people are moving around
Do you feel comfortable?
Are you afraid to go out even though the states have partially reopened?
I just want to know what's the mind state
For some of these places that have already reopened
I see some strip clubs are open back up again
Where?
That's just nasty
I think it's in Wisconsin
I've seen the mall open up in Atlanta
I've seen people walking open up in Atlanta.
I've seen people walking around the mall.
So let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
If your city has opened up and you're out and about, what does it feel like?
Are you nervous?
Are you scared?
Are you out and about like F that?
Let's talk about it.
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.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about some of the cities opening back up.
We've seen Georgia.
We've seen Houston.
We've seen so many different places.
Florida opening back up.
It's like 48 states today or 46 states.
What is it?
Something like that?
All but two.
All but two.
All but two, yeah.
So we're asking, how does it feel out there? I mean, our state
is pretty much shut down. We're not doing anything.
They're going to be opening the beaches up, so people are going to
be out at the beaches, but
other than that, how's it feeling out there?
Yeah, New Jersey's a little more open than
New York right now. I'll say that too.
Nothing's happening in New York.
We are locked down.
The only risk I'm willing to take right now in Jersey is the barbershop.
Barbershop opens. I would
definitely go in there and get a haircut.
Anything else? I don't see it.
Yeah, me neither. But I think people
also have to use their own judgment too.
Like, you know, we are this whole time.
I've been going out, going for walks and making
sure I do, you know, still move around
and do things. And
it didn't feel safe to me over this weekend.
I went to go for a walk.
There was too many people outside.
People were cooking out on the street in front of their house.
I kept having to walk back and forth across the street to avoid large groups of people.
A lot of people didn't have on masks.
And I was like, let me just go back home.
And this is exactly why it doesn't even make any sense when they are in such a rush to open the economy.
You've been scaring us to death the past three months.
You got all of us so scared that we stayed in our houses,
and now you're just going to open up the economy and say,
yeah, it's still out there, but you can go, you know,
you can proceed with the proper precautions.
Nah, I think I'll sit back and let y'all go first.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
This is B.
B, what's going on?
What's up, bro? How's it going there? We're talking's going on? Brother from North Carolina. What's up, bro?
How's it going there?
We're talking about, you've been out and about.
What's been going on in your city, bro?
Yeah, man.
I live on the North Carolina-Virginia border, and the bars opened up, man.
And it's nuts how many people were out there.
Well, you've been having people locked up for two months.
They ready to hit the streets.
They're like girls who've been in the household through high school.
Now they're in college.
I mean, I feel
you though, but I mean, at the same time
and on the Texas
thing talking about that
they're doing more testing, that's not an excuse.
That just means that there's more people out
there than they've realized and now you've got to
reopen the economy
with all those extra people that are sick
that they didn't know about. That's not a good excuse,
man. Well, I think if you're doing testing and you're doing contact tracing.
Just because you have coronavirus doesn't mean you're sick, too.
A lot of people are asymptomatic, so they don't even know they have it.
But you can still spread it, though.
Yeah, you can still spread it.
That's what I'm saying.
But it's actually better when you test people and you know who has it
than you can do contact tracing.
That's how you actually contain it.
Oh, yeah, no, I get that, man.
Being able to contact trace and things like that, that's good.
But at the same time, I mean, we're in the midst of opening up the entire nation,
and now you've got one state with a spike in cases,
and they're saying, well, it's just because we're testing more.
Well, no, that just means that there were more sick out there that you didn't know about.
Yeah. I mean, look, man,
in a couple weeks, as long
as the hospitals aren't overwhelmed,
as long as the hospitals can function,
then you know this is going to be our new normal for a while.
To be honest. That's what you just
hope for. You just hope that the hospitals don't get overwhelmed.
Hello, who's this?
This is Lisa. Hey, Lisa, good morning.
Where you calling from? I'm embarrassed to say
that Jacksonville, Florida.
Oh, my goodness.
So you guys have been out and about, huh?
Yes, and I have to say that I agree with Charlamagne 100% that this is a crazy-ass state,
and I'm never supposed to hear you give donkey or pizzeria to someone from Florida.
Well, thank you.
Have you been out, or you stayed your ass in?
Both. I'm an essential worker, so I have to go to work every day
But every day that I'm driving to work
It's like you can't even tell
That anything's going on
Right
There's just much traffic
It's just even at my job
People don't even really like wear masks
Or gloves
A lot of people think this is all like conspiracy
It's just really weird And they look at me crazy People don't even really, like, wear masks or gloves. A lot of people think this is all, like, conspiracy issues.
It's really weird.
And they look at me crazy for being the one with gloves on and masks on.
When I go in the stores, I'm, like, the only one suited and booted, basically,
trying not to get sick, and I just think it's like the Twilight Zone.
Where do you work?
I don't want to say.
I was about to say, because y'all is going to drop 70% today,
whatever your job was.
People were going to stop coming there.
But it's definitely an eye-opener.
I don't think that it's a conspiracy, and I don't feel like a lot of the people here who feel like the government are trying to control you.
I would just rather be safe than sorry.
Like, I don't want to fall ill or, you know, die,
leave my son here.
But people here
just have this invincible,
they just think they're invincible.
Like, they're not going to get it
or they don't believe that it exists.
It's not invincibility.
It's called crazy.
It's Florida foolishness.
Okay?
Exactly.
Thank you, Mama.
800-585-1051.
We're asking, you know, they opened up damn near every state but two.
So we're asking 800-585-1051.
Are you out and about?
What's going on?
How is your state looking like?
Call us.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now, if you just joined us, we're opening up the phone lines and asking
how is your state looking? How are things looking
now that they're opening up? Are you out and about
here in Jersey? They haven't
really opened up much. They opened up the beach, but
I'm still not going out. I'm still keeping my ass in the
house. I ain't going nowhere
for a little bit. So I'm assuming
the two states that haven't opened yet
are Jersey and New York. I'm just
making that up. Well, New York State
does have certain areas. There's like five different
areas that are reopened, but New
York City's not open. Listen,
until there's like widespread testing
and tracing in place, any of this
information you hear,
it really isn't worth anything. Like, you know,
the hospitals are the most critical piece in this situation.
If they don't get overwhelmed in the next month
after everything opens up, we know whatever we're doing is working. If they don't get overwhelmed in the next month after everything opens up,
we know whatever we're doing is working.
If they do get overwhelmed, then we know we weren't ready,
and we'll be right back the way we started,
and we'll probably be spending Christmas at home,
which I'm fine with, by the way.
Well, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
This is Marcus from Dallas, Texas.
Marcus from Dallas, Texas.
Hello, DeMarcus.
Now, your city is open, correct?
Man, if you come to Dallas right now,
you'll be thinking like, Corona
never existed. Really?
I'm a nurse
out here, and
when I get off work, I roll through
and you got people going to the stores
with no masks. You got people jogging
with no masks, walking down the street.
Just nothing. Now, I don't understand the no mask thing because got people jogging with no mask, walking down the street just nothing.
Now, I don't understand the no mask thing
because there's not one thing
that I've read from any country around
the world that says you shouldn't
wear a mask. Masks absolutely
decrease the transmission
of the virus.
Yeah, I mean, the thing
is, it's like if
you know, because people can be asymptomatic,
like if you have the virus and you don't know you have it,
wearing a mask can protect the next person.
So I don't see why people don't wear masks.
Yeah, you don't have to go raw with the earth.
You know what I'm saying?
I understand when HIV AIDS hit, y'all still didn't want to wear condoms.
You know what I mean?
I can see the risk you would want to take, but you don't have to go raw with the earth.
Put the goddamn mask on.
Protect yourself.
Thank you, brother.
Hello, who's this?
This is Brianna.
Hey, Brianna.
Good morning.
Good morning.
How are you guys?
We're doing good.
Where are you coming from?
Alabama.
Alabama.
Now, is Alabama open?
People are out and about?
Yes, they are.
They are out here like wild goose.
Like wild goose?
Wild goose would just be out and about in Alabama, huh?
Yes.
Okay.
That's all you got for us?
Yeah.
She didn't have too many words.
But let's go to another caller.
Hello, who's this?
This is Tyrone calling from Atlanta.
Tyrone.
Oh, Atlanta's popping.
I know y'all open.
I seen day parties
going on. What's going on in Atlanta, brother?
Man, it's going on a lot down here,
man, you know. This weekend
I took my girl out to dinner and went to the mall,
but, you know, everybody wearing face masks
and stuff, but probably the next
couple weeks, it should get back to the O-L-M.
Was the restaurant packed?
Wow, that's soon. Say that again? Was the restaurant packed? Wow, that's soon. Say that again?
Was the restaurant packed?
No, no, no, no.
They only let like 30% of the people come in,
and most of the chairs and tables are all spread out.
So it's getting kind of normal, but it's still a safety involved.
Okay.
Yeah, I saw Candy had a Born day party yesterday A mask on party
All I know is man
When you in Atlanta
As you in any of these parties man
It should be like a
Don't smoke blunts with strangers rule
You know what I mean
Don't pass the hookah to a stranger
I wouldn't pass the hookah
To anybody I haven't been quarantined with
Or a blunt for that matter
Absolutely
Alright
Now what's the moral of the story huh
Is there a moral
I just think the moral of the story Is until there's widespread testing and tracing, like a lot of this information that we're hearing just really it really isn't worth it.
Like when they say things like no spikes in coronavirus in places reopening, like, you know, they say, oh, spikes in Texas.
Like none of none of that matters until there's widespread testing and tracing.
And let's pray that the hospitals don't get overwhelmed in any of these places, because
if they do, then we know that it's not working.
And I, for one, am not rooting against any of the states that are reopening.
I want this to work.
Yeah, I want this to work.
As you should.
I'm praying that it does work because there's a lot of people out there that are suffering.
A lot of people are hurting.
A lot of people need to get back to business.
So I'm praying that this works.
Now, we got rumors on the way.
Yes, and we are going to. A lot of people need to get back to business. So I'm praying that this works. Now we got rumors on the way, Yee?
Yes, and we are going to.
Oh, and I just wanted to tell you the two states are Illinois and Michigan that are still shut down.
Yes, and we are going to be talking about a sex tape that recently was leaked.
It's not even that long, but we'll tell you what the details are.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Happy Monday.
Have you guys seen that flyer with Evander Holyfield and Tyson?
Is that a lie?
That's not going to happen, is it?
It's probably a lie,
but I would much rather that matchup than see Mike Tyson
get in the ring with any of these
younger heavyweights and actually get hurt.
That's why when I hear people say things like,
Mike Tyson could beat some of these heavyweights out here now,
they don't watch boxing. It's really just
that simple. Because Anthony Joshua,
Tyson Fury, Deontay
Wilder, even Louis Ortiz old ass would
would absolutely hurt Mike Tyson at this point. You know how people look at it? They look at it
like Tyson would beat me. So I know he would kill somebody. But you're not those other boxes that
train every day. Yeah. And it's nostalgia. Exactly. And you can watch somebody on a 30 second video
and they look good. But when they got to get in that ring and bang out for three minutes a round
for 12 rounds, come on, man.
And come on, 15 years ago,
look at Mike at the end of his career
when he was getting beat by guys like Kevin Bird.
You really think he going to beat Tyson Fury?
Y'all must not have watched that last Tyson Fury,
Deontay Wilder fight, bro.
You clearly didn't.
There's no way you would want Mike Tyson
to get in the ring with Tyson Fury.
Like, let's not do that to the legend, okay?
He's a cultural icon.
One kidney shot at 53 years old will probably kill that man.
That's what you want from him?
Stop it.
Come on.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know if y'all saw this since you're talking about Evander Holyfield.
Did anybody watch this movie on Netflix, The Wrong Missy?
Mm-mm.
What's that about?
It's a comedy.
It's kind of funny.
But they referenced Evander Holyfield
Several times in that movie
That's what just made me
Think of it
Why?
You gotta see it
Cause
It's a comedy
It's like
Yeah you gotta watch it
It's kind of like
Forgetting Sarah Marshall-ish
That type of comedy
But
The guy's boss is
The guy's boss
His wife used to sleep with Evander Holyfield.
So he brings it up like all the time.
Got you.
Just random.
Okay.
All right.
Well,
we got rumors on the way.
What are we talking about?
We are going to be talking about the last dance.
Of course,
the last two episodes were on last night.
So let's discuss.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kevin Gates.
It's time.
She's spilling
the tea. This is the rumor
report with Angela Yee
on the Breakfast Club.
Yes, so some footage of Kevin Gates.
They're calling it an alleged sex tape,
has leaked and everybody was talking about it online.
Did you guys see it?
No.
No.
Why are you guys at the social?
I mean, it was all over.
It was trending on Twitter.
Yeah, but that don't mean I got to click on it.
I don't think the headline,
Kevin Gates sex tape wouldn't intrigue me. They'll say,
oh, let me go check this out. Right. So that's out there. We haven't heard any comment from
either Kevin Gates or Drica as of this time. People are speculating who is the person in the
video. Is it his wife? Is it not? So I guess at some point they'll address this, but that has been
trending online. All right. Now let's talk about something
else that's been trending. Michael Jordan, the last dance. Okay. So what we just saw in the last
dance is the quote flu game. Now the flu game is something that's been discussed for a long time.
So now you get to hear straight from, from everybody involved about what happened. And
Michael Jordan did not have the flu
in game five of the 97 finals
between the Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls in Salt Lake City.
What he actually had was food poisoning.
Listen to this.
For game five in Utah, I'm a Marriott,
but it's like 10, 1030 at night.
I'm hungry.
No room service.
Michael gets hungry.
So we're calling all these different places.
We find one pizza place open.
Five guys delivering one pizza.
And they're all trying to look in.
And, you know, everybody knew it was Michael.
So I take the pizza.
I pay them.
And I put this pizza down.
And I said, I got a bad feeling about this.
I ate the pizza all by myself.
Nobody else eats it.
You eat the pizza.
I wake up about 2.30, throwing up left and right.
So it really wasn't a flu game.
It was food poisoning.
Yeah, we've heard that story before.
And I like that story as well.
I think the food poison 11s have a great ring to them.
And I think the prospect of the Utah Jazz fans going so far
as to try to poison Michael Jordan.
That's crazy.
That's a better story than
the actual flu game. I always
wondered. They didn't go check on it.
We didn't hear anything after that.
They could have killed that man.
They should have went there and do some investigating.
Right. Well, what happened
is the five guys who bought MJ
the pizza never got caught because they got
out of the pizza business and started a burger franchise.
Shut up. That's a fact.
You want to say that's a fact?
Cite your sources. It's a fact.
The dark web. The dark web.
Alright, well, Michael Jordan did end up with
38.7 rebounds, 5 assists
and 3 steals in that
game, by the way. Alright, in
addition to that, Michael Jordan discusses
his career ending with the Bulls
and was he happy with how things ended?
Here's what he said.
In 98, winning six out of eight.
And yet being just as dominant as you were in 91.
That's where the craftsmanship came in.
I think 98 was much better than any of the other years because of how I was able to use my mind as well as my body.
So was it then satisfying to leave at your peak?
No.
Or is it maddening to leave at your peak?
It's maddening, you know, because I felt like we could have won seven.
Man, just not to be able to try, that's something that, you know, I just can't accept.
Very interesting.
I always wondered how he felt about Leaving all that money on the table
Not even just necessarily money with his contract
I mean money just as far as putting that
Stamp on his legacy
You know going out the way he wanted to go out
One more season
Seven rings, seven is God's number
For the God basketball player
That would have been incredible
Right so you heard it from him
And that was the end.
I know some people haven't seen it yet.
I was actually watching last night, and I fell asleep during the second episode
because I was exhausted.
And I'm going to tell you something else.
If I was Phil Jackson, I'd have told that owner to kiss my ass too.
Yeah, me too.
The owner said, you've earned the right to come back, mother effer.
I won six championships already. What the hell is you talking about, fool? I earned the right to come back, mother effer. I won six championships already.
What the hell is you talking about, fool?
I earned the right to come back.
It's my sixth ring.
I'm going to go somewhere else and win five more.
How about that?
Drop on the clues bombs for Phil Jackson, guys.
All right.
And speaking of sports, Dwayne, the Rock Johnson,
he's talking about his daughter, Simone Alexandra.
She is joining the WWE family.
He was on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. And here's what he had to say about his 18-year-old daughter.
What an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps. But more importantly, she actually wants to create her own path, which is just so important.
And she wound up being the youngest signee in the history of the company at six,
by the way. So she's 18 now at 16, she was working her ass off quietly under the radar in the ring,
getting thrown around and you know, all the bumps and bruises that go with pro wrestling.
And she hung in there and I'm very, very proud of you. Well, that's dope. You know, I'm sure for
him, for the rock to have his daughter just enter that field that he's been in and that's dope You know I'm sure for him For The Rock to have his daughter just enter that field
That he's been in and that's made him as famous
As he is today
That has to feel good
Yeah but she has to be as charismatic as him inside that ring
It's one thing to put the work in
Cause that's what took The Rock over the top
It wasn't that he was you know
Such a great physical specimen in the ring
It was his character
He was a beast with that microphone.
Absolutely. Well, she'll be the first fourth
generation superstar in WWE
history if things go
down the way it's supposed to because her great grandfather,
her grandfather, and her father.
So she'll be the fourth one. So that'll
be really dope.
Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report.
And I just want to say Phil Jackson
did the Bulls great
He did you know the Lakers amazing
And then when he came to the Knicks
Horrible
Well he didn't coach the Knicks though it's not his fault
But the Knicks are just cursed
That's what made me think that
He was so great with the Bulls
So great with the Lakers and then with the Knicks
Just ah
Alright well Clearly a better coach than he is What was he the Lakers and then with the Knicks, it's just ah, just ah. All right. Well, Charlemagne.
Clearly a better coach than he is. What was he?
Vice President of Basketball Operations?
GM something? I don't know.
All right. Well, Charlemagne, who you giving that donk
to? We need Hannah Brown
to come to the front of the congregation.
You know who Hannah Brown is?
No, I don't actually, but I know that she's made
a very... He does now because she's in the news.
She's made a very white rookie mistake.
All right.
Talk about it.
All right.
We'll get into that next Keep It Locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
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.
You're trying your best.

I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's time for the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. Donkey of the Day for Monday, May 18th goes to a bachelorette named Hannah Brown.
I don't watch The Bachelorette.
Envy, that's your show, right?
I watch it with the wife.
Don't make it seem like it's my show.
It's my wife's show.
Don't act like you didn't get excited.
I watch it with her.
Don't act like you didn't get excited. show. Don't act like you didn't get excited. I watch it with her. Don't act like you didn't get excited.
Exactly.
Don't act like you didn't get excited when I mentioned Hannah Brown's name.
Okay.
I have never heard of Hannah Brown, but don't let her last name fool you.
She is not brown at all, nor black.
In fact, she is a mayonnaise flavored mammal.
And we all know one thing this culture doesn't take kindly to is mayonnaise flavored mammals using the n-word
oh the heavy the hellmans is heavy on this one and i still don't understand how in 2020 these
human jars of hellmans are still making this rookie mistake okay and racism for dummies chapter
one verse one it says if you lack melanin check white on the census you cannot say the n-word
it's simple not rocket science. And yet and still,
every now and then we have to hold up a big old jar of Kraft real mayonnaise and say, look,
this is why we don't like too much of you and our potato salad. Okay. See, mayonnaise is fine
if you use just enough of it, just enough. When you put the right amount in tuna, delightful.
Okay. When you just put the right amount on some white bread yummy okay just a little nice little thin layer all right but when you start putting it on french fries and
god forbid eating it out of a jar with a spoon yuck okay you're really in dangerous territory
when that happens and that's exactly what hannah brown did she sat front row of the lakers game
with a big jar of mayonnaise and didn't even have the decency to use a spoon she just was using her hands eating it not literally put a slow people in the back because
the nba isn't even here yet okay what hannah did is the equivalent of of that though okay she was
on ig live and she was rapping the baby song rockstar when this happened i'm like i'm a cop
have you ever seen a real new rock star, we've seen this a million times before.
The love of hip hop, the love of rap music has caused many a white person to be an accidental racist.
OK, one of the toughest challenges a white person has in life is the N-word in their favorite rap song.
OK, when they are alone in their car, do they say the word?
If so, does their conscience eat at them?
If so, why are you practicing bad habits, okay?
See, Caucasians, when you are alone,
the reason you have to practice censoring yourself
when you are rapping along to your favorite,
you know, black rapper
is so you don't make the mistake
of saying the N-word in public, all right?
This reminds me of an episode
of one of my favorite TV shows of all time,
Girlfriends.
Yes, the sister-to-sister episode
when Lynn's white adopted sister, Tanya,
comes to town and this happens.
H to the N's O, V to the A's A
That's the anthem, get your damn hands up
I do this for my culture
So let them know what I need to look like
When I need a little roaster
My Denise Wilkes, what kind of situation did you bring up in situations?
What?
Somebody better get her because Peaches got a hot comb in his hands, okay?
Well, I, girl, you know.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I know that you crossed the line.
But what were you thinking?
She wasn't thinking.
Look, everyone, I'm really sorry.
I am so embarrassed outside.
That's right.
And Tanya did the right thing.
She apologized because there's really nothing you can do when you let the mayonnaise spill all over everybody.
Okay, when you let the mayonnaise spill all over the place in a situation like that, the only thing you can do is apologize, which is what Hannah Brown did.
Let's listen.
I did. I'm so sorry. That wasn't you. That was Brooke. No, I was singing this. I'm so sorry.
I don't think that you said that. I don't think. Maybe it was Patrick. Here's the thing,
young blue plates.
Why take the risk?
Okay, whether you are Tanya, Lynn's sister from Girlfriends, or Hannah Brown,
why use the N-word?
I don't care if it's in your favorite rap record or not.
If you know the history of the N-word, there is no reason for any of us to use it.
Okay, it doesn't matter if you're white, black, brown.
If you know the history of the N-word, if you know the blood that's on the word, you wouldn't matter if you're white, black, brown If you know the history of the N-word If you know the blood that's on the word
You wouldn't use it
I don't think it's a word that could ever
You know, be transformed into a positive
Because if it was actually transformed
Into a positive, a term of endearment
Like we say it is
We wouldn't care who used it, right?
Right? For anyone who isn't black
They should never use it
Okay, for those of us who are black,
it's complicated, and we don't need you complicating it anymore for us, okay? Because
even though we may debate amongst each other on whether or not we should use it, a vast majority
of us know and can agree without a shadow of a doubt that whether you're Trader Joe's organic
mayonnaise or Trader Joe's real mayonnaise. You can't use it, period.
Please let Kathy Griffin handle my white work and give Hannah Brown the credit she deserves for being stupid.
Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest, hee-haw.
I was going to say, along with that, you know, I watch 90 Day Fiance,
and there's a petition now to get one of the women off the show Lisa who's dating Usman because she uses
the N word and she actually posted
it on her page and her explanation is
I'm born and raised in the hood and
yes I use the N well she
spilled it out which is used by my fiance
and friends and here in the states look up the urban
definition and
she goes on to use it on several
lives in her comments and
while Usman was doing a live,
she's in the comments saying F-U-N-Word and all of that.
Well, I mean, I think in a lot of cases,
the N-word, using the N-word is a classic example
of teaching people how to treat you, right?
Because I think it's crazy that we use it in songs.
And listen, we use it amongst each other.
I use it.
But when somebody else that's influenced by us uses it, we get upset.
That should be like the mirror, right?
That should be us looking in the mirror, letting us know why we should not be using.
Yeah, we shouldn't be using it.
We absolutely positively.
I agree.
But we still do.
Yeah, people like Hannah Brown, they got too much privilege, too much access to information.
And they've seen too many people get their ass handed to them for using the N-word for them to be using it.
For the young white woman that you're describing, her situation makes me understand why she feels like she can use it, but she's still wrong.
You must not watch 90 Day Fiancé then to see what this woman is like.
Nobody does, but you here, you love it.
Definitely not to a lot of people watch this. I mean does but you here, Yee. You love it. Definitely not you.
A lot of people watch this. I mean, on this show.
I mean, on this show. Alright. Well,
thank you for that donkey of the day.
Yes. And Ida Rodriguez is coming up next. Ida.
Ida Rodriguez is, right? That's right. She's a comedian.
She was on Tiffany Haddish's
Netflix special
They Ready. And she has her
own TV show,
her own scripted series
coming on HBO Max
based off,
you know,
I think it's based off
Ida's life,
if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, it's based off
her own life.
And she's writing it
herself too and everything.
Okay.
Yeah, but Ida's just dope
because, you know,
she's very involved
when it comes to
social justice,
when it comes to,
you know,
activism,
when it comes to politics.
So she's always a great person to have conversations with.
All right, so we're going to kick it with Ida Rodriguez.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line right now.
Ida Rodriguez.
What up?
Good morning.
Peace, queen.
Good morning.
Now, Ida, you hit me and you said you wanted to call Latinos into action in regards to the police brutality we see happening around the country.
What moved you to want to do that? Well, you know, nothing moved me on it.
It's been my stand for a long time. I thought you had my mentor on here a couple of days ago, Ben Crump.
Our movement has always been about unifying black and brown people. And I'm the mother of a black son and a black daughter,
but I shouldn't have to be moved by these stories, right?
Historically, this has been going on for a long time.
We had a lot of outrage when we saw those babies in cages
and we wanted black people to stand up for us.
So we have to stand up for black people
and we have to have some solidarity
because the agenda comes for all of us, not just black people.
Black people just happen to be first.
All right.
You know, it's interesting because I was also thinking about the whole Asian thing.
Right. And all the racism that's been going on on both sides.
So what are your thoughts about that, too?
Because I see a lot of people being like, well, too bad.
It happens to us all the time.
Well, that's not the attitude they have.
The anti-blackness exists.
But this anti-blackness that exists everywhere,
specifically with Asian people who are really big to call on unity
and call for people to stand and be allies for them.
But they practice a lot of anti-black racism.
And it's important to remember in these times when it happens to you that it
could happen to you at this point i'm a stand-up comedian and my life has become activism at this
point people keep asking me where are your jokes and i'm like who can tell a joke in this moment
i'm saving it for the special but it's
miami has the Cuban reality.
Like I was texting with you earlier.
Cause I was like,
if Michael B.
Jordan is going to play Scarface,
I want to see,
I'm like,
yo,
what a tough move because that's a payback for Zoe Saldana playing Nina
Simone.
I was saying,
I think that's a rule.
I think that's a rumor,
but we were talking about how people would be so angry.
That would be dope, though.
No, it wouldn't.
That would be whack.
Where are you quarantining?
Where are you quarantining at?
She's in L.A.
I'm in home.
I'm in California.
I'm in L.A.
And how is that?
I'm at the farmer's market, not practicing social distancing, and I am in complete quarantine.
Because I don't trust their government.
I don't care what it is.
And, you know, it's funny because everybody has a conspiracy theory,
and I'm like, I've been watching their background.
I'm like, how do you live like that and got a direct line to the government?
How do you broke-ass people know exactly what's happening
and the rest of us don't?
I don't trust them, you know.
There's so much happening right now. This agenda is just really revealing the true agenda that's against the melanated people. And I just I was taught hitting Charlamagne because I was just like, yo, where are where are my people? You know, like, where are we? And we're black, too. Like, I'm a black person. Don't get it twisted. I just I'm a plantain black person, but I'm a black person. Don't get it twisted. I just, I'm a plantain black person,
but I'm a black person in America.
Kadada Jones and,
and,
and Rashida Jones,
I'm darker than them.
You know what I'm saying?
Like that,
we have such a misconception about blackness.
When people say you're not black,
I'm like,
well,
if I'm not black,
Halle Berry's not black.
Paula Patton ain't black,
Kadada Jones ain't black.
We have such an anti-black agenda, and it's just,
it's reached the point where, I mean, I've become an activist.
I've been an activist, but I have become a full-time activist,
and I've abandoned everything because I believe with the census,
Donald Trump, this Democratic political party that is corporate Democrats whose agendas are not thinking about us.
It's just I'm losing my mind in this.
And I'm so tired of people saying we got to get back to civility.
We got to get back to where we used to be.
As a person of color, what do we want to get back to?
Because there has not been one administration that's ever been in our favor. So I'm like, what are we trying to get back to? Because there has not been one administration that's ever been in our favor.
So I'm like, what are we trying to get back to?
We want to get our asses beat again?
We don't want to get shot anymore.
We want to get back to the days when police people were busting us upside the head with their batons instead of shooting us.
I'm angry.
And, you know, we got jokes and we want to play on the Internet and we want to do dances at TikTok.
People are dying
every day a comedian just got murdered here by the police in la marjones a comedian they said
they shot him for a routine a traffic stop on the freeway and they said he was not complying
we don't know the story so i can't even i can speculate. But now they shoot you for not complying?
No weapon.
No weapon?
Nothing?
What was his name?
Nothing.
Mark Jones.
Mark Jones.
Wow.
Rest in peace, Mark Jones.
I didn't even care about that yet.
Peaceful comedian.
You know, if you go to his Instagram page, Chris Scriptures.
So, you know, at this point, I don't even sleep anymore. I don't think people
are awake. They don't realize what's
happening. They dumbed us down for a reason
and now all of this stuff is
setting in.
Aida, with all this being so frustrating
for you, how are you even staying sane right
now at home?
Writing. I'm writing.
You know, I'm in the middle of...
I've been in development on my TV show with HBO Max.
Congratulations on that, by the way. Yes. Congrats. Thank you.
But my show now is now my show has police brutality in it.
It is talking about Afro Latinos and the black reality within the Latin in the Latin sector.
Like the whole thing just changed because I was like, I'm going to be on some bullshit
if I don't write what's real.
I'm just going to be on television
pandering and tap dancing
like everybody else.
All right, we have more
with Ida Rodriguez.
When we come back,
don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it
with Ida Rodriguez.
Charlamagne?
Let me ask you a question, what do you think right it would take
for black and brown people to truly come
together because we say black and brown but is
it actually real unity between us
no it's education
of course not it's
divide and conquer is
real and working right so
I was just having I had an exchange
with somebody on your page.
This man was talking about illegal immigrants and he was so angry about them and saying they come
here and they take with black people. And I'm like, yo, have you really allowed the white
establishment to convince you that the best you can be as a leaf blower or a janitor? Like,
are you seriously telling me that these people that walk from two countries here are taking what's yours?
What's yours is everything that's around.
America was built on the backs of slaves, these billionaires, these evil billionaires.
Jeff Bezos is about to be a trillionaire.
All that wealth that these people are glorifying, talking about they work for it.
No, you work for it, dumbass.
Your ancestors worked for it.
So we don't have an education about what it really is.
They divided us so well.
And the truth is that we keep looking at each other and down, and we should be looking up to see who has their foot on our neck.
So we have to educate people. We have to really get into, we need to teach financial literacy so that there can be some empowerment.
Like that's where I'm working. I do workshops to go talk to single mothers that are black and brown
and give them information about how to empower themselves through money because they never taught
us. We're so busy living in survival that we don't understand how to thrive.
So with black and brown people, the agenda is always they're the ones doing it to it.
Like I grew up in Miami and I remember Jamaicans and Bahamians having such an anti-Yankee sentiment.
Saying that black people in America were lazy and that they're violent.
And I was like, the most violent people on the planet who have raped, stolen, and pillaged from everybody on the planet have convinced us to believe that we're violent.
Hold on.
We got to say it.
Caucasians.
Okay?
Old white men.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's nothing wrong with saying that white people have privilege and white people practice racism.
It's embedded in the DNAna of this country absolutely now why don't you think black and latino people stand closer to with each
other you know it's just even when i was a kid you know i'm from new york it was always that divide
why do you think that divide is there because the the greatest lie they ever told us is that
somebody who was lighter than us was better than them because they couldn't divide us in any other
way they did it with black people they do it with latinos so you have black people being told that
you know latin people have more spanish blood you can see their colonizer more in them so they have
more value they have curly hair you know the the the puerto rican girls they'll give you a baby
with good hair all of that rhetoric has been in play for so long that now subconsciously we do that stuff.
Like you have rap songs glamorizing exotic women as if women from Somalia are not exotic.
Right. It is. It's just the biggest mind of all time. And it's so alive right now.
And when you see all of this hatred that that they have been cultivating for so long,
you know, it looks like they're trying
to cause a civil war. And if we kill
each other and we knock each other out, then they
don't have to worry about us. You know, I'm
also watching the Latino vote, right? I'm watching
the ways Latinos have been voting.
And a lot of them seem to be very politically
sophisticated. Like, they seem to be
strictly voting for their interest in blocks.
Especially in a place like Florida. It's like they almost
move Republican because
I guess they think whiteness is better. So how can black
and brown people get on the same page politically
if our interests are so different?
We're going to take that. We have to
think about survival. When we think about
black and brown unity, it shouldn't have
to be about
holding hands and singing kumbaya.
It should just be, we should just start with the basics
on survival, and then we can work our way from there. The thing with the vote with Latinos is
a lot of Cubans are in Florida, so they vote Republican because they have political asylum,
so immigration is not their issue. So they vote for reasons of money. They vote for reasons of medical,
health care and stuff like that. They don't care about immigration because it is not their issue.
And they tend to assimilate white when they can. So I understand what you say, Charlamagne,
about holding Democrats accountable for the votes, right? We have to sit down collectively
and come up with an agenda and say, you want our votes? You have to
do X, Y, and Z. This is what we demand. This is the starting ground for us. I'm never going to
tell people not to vote. My grandmother came here from Puerto Rico and got hosed in the civil rights
movement and couldn't read and fought just to vote. So I'm never going to tell people not to
vote. And I understand what people are saying about these celebrities becoming politically activated at the last second when they were never talking during the times when there were so many candidates that they could have gotten behind.
But, you know, people are scared to talk about democratic socialism because they don't know what it is.
And they think in Cuba and China and they don't realize that in America we have a mixed economy,
and socialism exists but only to benefit rich people.
So when we sit here and talk about these things that we don't know anything about, they scared us.
So what happens is Latin people, they have had such extreme stuff happen to them now
that they are like, you know what, what do we need to do?
Who do we need to do who do we need to
rally behind and then people who don't speak english are being told by their young younger
people in their family this is what this person stands for this is what this person is doing this
is why you need to vote for this person grandma and grandpa we all need to do that i'm going to
tell you this all these bloods and crips walking around who started with an agenda have lost their way.
They should be escorting every black person to the voting vote, to the voting polls.
They should be using that power so that there would be no George Zimmermans and the people who murdered Ahmaud Arbery.
If you're going to really, really be out there and be gangster. Be gangster for your people. Because the reality of it is that that gang that's against us is real.
And they're working every day to eliminate us.
But they can't.
The melanin is divine.
Well, Ida, thank you for joining us this morning.
And Ida, before you leave, I just got to ask you, what's the plans?
I know we talked about this show on HBO Max.
That's an autobiographical show about you.
So, are there plans?
Like, what is the date?
Do we have anything solid yet?
Or are we still working on that?
So, you know, ironically, since I did The Breakfast Club, and it's funny because white people watch The Breakfast Club.
I closed my deal on my TV show.
I brought Tiffany Abort to executive produce because she gave me a special.
So, I gave her an executive producer credit on my
show because that's what we we are supposed to be doing absolutely absolutely well i have and so we
are in development on the show and then i have an animated series that i'm doing with itv studios
and then today i start a political show but um a lot of things are happening we'll see what hbo max
does because this show is very controversial.
We're talking about why certain people can't use the N-word.
We're talking about black and brown communities.
We're seeing black people speak Spanish.
We're talking about police brutality.
So we turned it in, and we're waiting on HBO Max to see what they're going to do with it.
Let's push it.
Let's go.
If I do it that way, I don't want it.
Oh, so y'all already turned the script in and everything?
We turned the script in this week,
so we're waiting to hear about HBO Max.
HBO Max, y'all got to make the right decision.
Controversy sells, okay?
We don't want nothing weak.
We don't want nothing watered down.
We want it raw.
We want that POV.
HBO Max should be able to handle that.
Come on.
HBO, that's the home of Bill Maher.
I believe so.
If you can let Bill Maher have that platform,
they can let a brown woman like yourself have that platform.
Absolutely.
All right, I love y'all.
Thank you, Ida.
Love you too.
Thank you for checking in.
All right, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
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 Fat Joe and Ashanti.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Ashanti was on live with Fat Joe, having their chat.
And one thing that Fat Joe revealed to her was the song What's Love with Fat Joe and Ja Rule was actually supposed to be J-Lo on the hook originally.
Here's what happened.
Earth and Ja had called me and they woke me up like three in the morning and they said, yo, come down. We made a song for you. It's right after Pump Ass. So when I go to the studios like
4 in the morning, they play What's Love and you on it. And they was telling me,
yo, this is for you and JLo. We want the Latinos on this, this and this and that.
Yo, I never knew that.
I get it, though. i mean i i understand like
ashanti was just on the come up at the time she wasn't the ashanti that we know now so
you know if you're talking to somebody you're like i could put j-lo on this record
as opposed to you know this young lady i that's what that was at the time that was i can understand
why they would do that that's a business move yeah and it's still people still do that to this
day somebody might write a song and then they replace or, you know, they have somebody singing the hook and then they sell the song and they put someone else.
Absolutely.
All right.
Now let's talk about Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.
The two of them have been hanging out together.
Apparently, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, her husband, are not doing too good right now.
Brian Austin Green wrote on IG, eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long.
And that was his little message.
And you can see pictures of the two of them out and about together.
A rep for Machine Gun Kelly did not respond to people's requests for a comment at this time.
Your wife riding around with another rapper and that's the best you can come up with talking about butterflies and caterpillars.
What did he say? The butterflies can't do what?
He said eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too
long. So what, they go sit on another
rapid s***? He actually wrote that
on Megan Fox's birthday.
What? So she was
with another dude on her birthday?
So the butterfly got tired of sitting on the flower
so the butterfly went to go sit on another rapid s***.
That's the best you can come up with, Brian.
Come on now.
I expect more from you.
I grew up watching 90210 as a child.
And the two of them are not together right now.
They've been quarantining separately.
They've had issues in their marriage before,
filing for divorce and then deciding to stay together.
They have three kids together.
So who knows what's going to happen?
All right.
Now let's get to,
oh, and I want to say a rest in peace to Lynn Shelton.
She's the director for Little Fires
Everywhere. She just passed away.
She was only 54 years old.
She died of a previously undiagnosed
blood disorder. And y'all know Little Fires
Everywhere. That was my show. Like I watched the whole
entire season. Couldn't wait for new
episodes to come out. I know your wife
watches it too, right, Envy? Yep. She sure
does. Yeah. Great show. I know your wife watches it too, right, Envy? Yep, she sure does.
Yeah, great show.
So Reese Witherspoon tweeted out,
I'm so devastated to hear about Lynn Shelton's passing.
Yesterday, I'm in complete shock that this vibrant, talented,
and soulful filmmaker is no longer with us.
Wow.
54 is very young too, by the way.
Very young, absolutely.
All right, Questlove is hosting a star-studded potluck
that's going to be on the Food Network.
So what he's doing is he's doing this on Thursday, May 28th. He's bringing together
famous friends who are sheltering at home and they're going to share some of their favorite
dishes and their favorite drinks while raising awareness and money for America's food fund.
He said this was a dream two and a half weeks ago. The idea came to him after
numerous Zoom dinner parties and celebrations. and it's also inspired by his
book, Mixtape Potluck Cookbook.
And you know, he does these dinners already
all the time that he
I guess he does them, I think it was like every month
where we would have these dinner parties and
bring together different people. So I
guess he wants to do it virtually now and help raise
money and awareness.
That's dope.
Now Obama, LeBron, Oprah Winfrey, a lot of celebrities came together money and awareness. That's dope. That's quite love. That was quite love.
Now, Obama, LeBron, Oprah Winfrey, a lot of celebrities came together to do a virtual graduation.
Now, President Barack Obama told graduating HBCU students they have to step up because
our leaders are not even pretending to be in charge in this graduate together event.
Here's what he said.
A disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens
that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country.
We see it in the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our communities,
just as we see it when a black man goes for a jog
and some folks feel like they can stop and question and shoot him if he doesn't submit to their questioning.
Injustice like this isn't new.
What is new is that so much of your generation has woken up to the fact that the status quo needs fixing.
More than anything, this pandemic has fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're
doing. A lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge. I love what President Obama said.
Salute to President Obama. That's actually the kind of leadership and messaging I would like
to hear from the person who's actually running for president. Why doesn't Joe Biden talk like
that? Why aren't Joe Biden's speech writers
writing things like that for him to say?
Does he understand he actually has to go out
and win in November?
Like, Donald Trump is not going to just lose.
You have to go out there and beat him.
And I don't see how you beat him
running the type of campaign he's running
because I'm ready to vote for President Obama right now.
You know what I'm saying?
I think the whole world is.
But Obama's not running.
So it's just like, what are you doing, Joe?
Come on.
In addition, here is Oprah.
I wish I could tell you I know the path forward.
I don't.
There is so much uncertainty.
It's vital that you learn and we all learn to be at peace with the discomfort of stepping into the unknown.
It's really okay to not have all the answers.
The answers will come for sure.
If you can accept not knowing long enough to get still
and stay still long enough for new thoughts
to take root in your more quiet, deeper, truer self.
Okay.
Yes.
So it's nice that, you know, as we've been discussing,
it's been really hard for a lot of these students
who are graduating, not being able to walk and do the things and celebrate and be with their friends and celebrate
all the hard work they've put in. So I do feel like everybody is trying to step up and make
things as great as they possibly can at this time. Yeah. It didn't make no sense to me a couple of
weeks ago. It absolutely doesn't make any more sense to me now, especially being that 48 states are reopening.
If all these states can reopen
and they can open beaches
and they can find ways
to social distance at gyms,
you can't find a way
to social distance
at a goddamn graduation?
Yeah, but then you see
the cases like at the church
where, you know,
200 people were exposed
to coronavirus
because of one person
and people are concerned
about their safety.
I still feel like it wouldn't be the same.
A lot of people wouldn't even want to go just because they would be concerned about their
health.
You got 200 kids.
I know people are trying to push things forward, too.
I mean, some of these graduating classes are 3,000, 4,000 people.
Some of them are huge classes.
It just depends on the school.
They pushed my daughters back to June.
It just shows that America doesn't have its priorities in order.
Are we prioritizing the wrong things?
Because there's no reason for a beach to be open anywhere,
but you can't figure out a way to social distance a graduation.
A gym, a gym is really that important.
Come on, man.
What's more nasty than a gym?
You all talking to each other, sweating?
Another record broken by Michael Jordan,
and this time it's his sneakers.
Now, a pair of his sneakers actually just sold
to coincide with the 35th anniversary
Of the Air Jordan brand finale
Of the last dance
These sneakers are Michael Jordan's
First ever Air Jordan sneakers
Guess how much they sold for
And you know all of his sneakers are a mismatched pair
13 for the left, 13 and a half for the right
10 grand
I say 50 grand
No, no, more than that
$560,000.
Wow.
$560,000?
Wow.
Listen, there's no way you can watch that documentary.
The Last Dance justified any and all Michael Jordan sneaker hysteria.
Like the high price tags, the long lines.
People went too far, you know, killing each other for the sneakers.
But the robbing somebody at gunpoint for them, I can totally get it.
I totally understand.
I think it's stupid,
but I can understand why you would do that.
They anticipated it would get around $100,000 to $150,000,
but it sold for $560,000.
Some Jordan fans out there.
I do want me a pair of them 15s, 11 1⁄2, though.
The all-black ones.
Are you trying to throw it out there
in case somebody wants to get it for you?
Oh, no, definitely.
If somebody out there has a pair of Ed Jordan 15s size 11 and a half,
I'll definitely cop them.
I ain't going to play nothing crazy for them.
I have a limit on what I'm going to pay.
They came out last year, I believe.
The Ed Jordan 15s?
I think they did.
I think they re-released.
I know they re-released in like 2008, but I'm not sure.
I don't want them all black ones.
They always hurt my feet.
I don't even really want them to wear. I just want them to put
in a glass case somewhere.
Don't make me pull out my pistol and rob
you for them.
As you could understand after the last dance.
Well, I'm Angela Yee and that's your Rumor
Report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee.
You know it had to be some stick-up kids
that saw that last night. It was like, see that's why I used to
rob people for their Jordans right there.
Remember when I used to give me flack for it?
Mm-mm-mm.
Well, all right.
Revolt, we'll see you guys tomorrow.
Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next.
Get your request in.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now shout out to Ida Rodriguez for joining us
this morning. Yes.
Make sure y'all follow her too
on Instagram. She's hilarious, but she
also gives a lot of great information, so
that's important as well.
And listen, since we saluting out
our Latino friends, our brown buddies,
happy birthday to one of my favorite
people on the planet, Carolina Bermudez.
Drop on the Clues bombs for Carolina Bermudez.
Okay, she hosts mornings on KTU with Greg T today.
Yes, today is her born day.
I want to send her all the love and light she can handle.
I'm sure she's somewhere high off of edible right now.
And I also want to shout out to my girls from Girls Talk from Cedarmore Girls. I actually did a self-care Saturday with these young ladies between the ages of 11 and 15.
It was nice to check in with them.
I always do this book club with them every year.
So this year we just did a virtual Girls Talk.
Usually it's like a full day of activities.
So they planned it and did it virtually.
So it was really nice to see the young ladies checking in from home.
So shout out to you.
Absolutely. And you know what?
Our producer, Daniel,
he sent me a link
to the Jordan 15
retro stealth on StockX.
They're $259 on StockX.
I don't even want them again.
This is how I know
all of those people
who robbed people for Jordans
back in the day at gunpoint.
I guarantee you
that's how they felt
afterwards. They were hype.
They did it. They like,
man, these things hurt my feet.
Yeah, they hurt my feet like crazy.
Like, I understand all of...
You said you didn't want to wear them, though. I thought you didn't want to really wear them.
You just want to have them. Yeah, but I don't even want
them just to have. What happened?
A few minutes ago...
But that's hysteria. That's what hysteria few minutes ago. That's hysteria.
That's what hysteria does to you.
That's why I said I can understand all of Michael Jordan's
sneaker hysteria. Like the high price
tags, standing in long lines,
robbing somebody for a pair. I understand
it, but the hysteria, you know, goes
away. It's just now it's more hysteria because
we just saw that documentary. She was like, God damn.
It was probably people going in their
closet last night, lining up all their Jordans,
looking for all their Jordan jerseys,
looking for all your Jordan prior finalia.
I do got a lot of J's upstairs,
and I ain't worn them in a long time.
People are fanatics.
Listen,
I have a lot of Jordans also.
You know what's funny?
One day,
I did this little video in my closet,
and people were mad that my Jordans weren't in order
by the numbers.
I was like,
look,
y'all,
I am not a fanatic like that. They were like, oh, how you don't have those in order? I got my Jordans weren't in order by the numbers. I was like, look, y'all, I am not a super fanatic like that.
They were like, oh, how you don't have those in order?
I got mad Jordans.
They definitely not in order.
They just in cases.
And look, now it's to the point now when I walk in the closet,
whatever the closest sneaker is is what I wear.
I don't even care no more.
It was stupid, but I love my Jordans.
I'm just trying to figure out why Jordan 16-23 was so trash.
1-15.
I thought the 15s were trash to me.
You don't like the 15?
I like the 15.
All right.
13 is the fire, too.
When we come back, we got the positive note.
Don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.

Now, you guys have a safe day out there. Charlamagne, you got a are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes, indeed. Now, you guys have a safe day out there.
Charlamagne, you got a positive note?
I do, man.
I just want y'all to know that trauma keeps you in a loop of your past.
Okay, you'll be 25 with an eight-year-old mindset and thought process.
That's why you people please or overextend yourself or stay places longer than you should have
because your inner child is screaming, finally, somebody loves me. Well,
to that I say your first, last, and best love is self-love and you should always love and approve
of yourself. Appreciate all that you do. Constantly tell yourself you are good enough just the way you
are. Speak up for yourself. Ask for what you want. That's how you reclaim your power.
Breakfast club, bitches. We all finished or y'all done? Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.
