Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:40 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
Starting point is 00:01:18 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!

It's on your radio right now!
Starting point is 00:01:41 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.
Starting point is 00:01:54 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.
Starting point is 00:02:20 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.
Starting point is 00:02:28 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?
Starting point is 00:03:10 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
Starting point is 00:03:26 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:58 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
Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:30 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.
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:05:09 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:42 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
Starting point is 00:05:51 You know Hysteria That surrounded Michael Jordan sneakers From the long lines Oh yeah yeah yeah To the high price tags You know
Starting point is 00:06:00 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.
Starting point is 00:06:11 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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
Starting point is 00:07:02 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.
Starting point is 00:07:14 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?
Starting point is 00:07:26 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.
Starting point is 00:07:41 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:37 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
Starting point is 00:08:55 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.
Starting point is 00:09:14 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 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.
Starting point is 00:09:52 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.
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:24 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.
Starting point is 00:10:40 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

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.
Starting point is 00:11:17 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?

Starting point is 00:11:59 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.

Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:32 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.

Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:26 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?
Starting point is 00:14:49 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,
Starting point is 00:15:05 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.
Starting point is 00:15:22 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.

Starting point is 00:16:21 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.
Starting point is 00:16:38 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 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.
Starting point is 00:17:07 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.
Starting point is 00:17:23 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.
Starting point is 00:17:31 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:17:50 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?
Starting point is 00:17:58 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.
Starting point is 00:18:14 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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.
Starting point is 00:18:51 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.
Starting point is 00:19:11 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
Starting point is 00:19:28 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.
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:16 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.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:29 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
Starting point is 00:21:40 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,
Starting point is 00:21:51 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
Starting point is 00:22:00 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.
Starting point is 00:22:16 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.
Starting point is 00:22:36 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.
Starting point is 00:22:58 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.
Starting point is 00:23:12 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...
Starting point is 00:23:29 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.
Starting point is 00:23:45 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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
Starting point is 00:24:21 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
Starting point is 00:24:35 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,
Starting point is 00:24:49 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.
Starting point is 00:24:58 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.
Starting point is 00:25:07 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.
Starting point is 00:25:20 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
Starting point is 00:25:37 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
Starting point is 00:25:51 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
Starting point is 00:26:06 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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.
Starting point is 00:26:34 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.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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.
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:12 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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
Starting point is 00:27:33 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?
Starting point is 00:27:45 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
Starting point is 00:28:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:13 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
Starting point is 00:28:32 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.
Starting point is 00:29:10 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:56 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
Starting point is 00:31:17 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.
Starting point is 00:31:34 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,
Starting point is 00:31:53 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.
Starting point is 00:32:22 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.
Starting point is 00:32:42 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.
Starting point is 00:32:57 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?
Starting point is 00:33:12 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.
Starting point is 00:33:26 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.
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:54 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.
Starting point is 00:34:04 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.
Starting point is 00:34:19 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.
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:34:50 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,
Starting point is 00:35:14 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?
Starting point is 00:35:26 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.
Starting point is 00:35:42 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
Starting point is 00:35:57 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.
Starting point is 00:36:15 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,
Starting point is 00:36:36 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
Starting point is 00:36:56 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,
Starting point is 00:37:15 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
Starting point is 00:37:35 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.
Starting point is 00:37:51 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.
Starting point is 00:38:12 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
Starting point is 00:38:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:45 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.
Starting point is 00:38:56 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
Starting point is 00:39:12 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
Starting point is 00:39:27 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
Starting point is 00:39:43 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?
Starting point is 00:39:58 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
Starting point is 00:40:13 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
Starting point is 00:40:30 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,
Starting point is 00:40:46 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.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Put the goddamn mask on. Protect yourself. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? This is Brianna. Hey, Brianna. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:41:15 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.
Starting point is 00:41:23 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.
Starting point is 00:41:39 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?
Starting point is 00:41:50 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?
Starting point is 00:42:05 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
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:37 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.
Starting point is 00:43:02 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.
Starting point is 00:43:20 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.
Starting point is 00:43:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:53 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.
Starting point is 00:44:14 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
Starting point is 00:44:37 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,
Starting point is 00:44:57 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?
Starting point is 00:45:11 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.
Starting point is 00:45:22 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
Starting point is 00:45:30 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
Starting point is 00:45:43 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,
Starting point is 00:45:53 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.
Starting point is 00:46:03 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.
Starting point is 00:46:15 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?
Starting point is 00:46:30 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,
Starting point is 00:46:46 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
Starting point is 00:47:25 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.
Starting point is 00:47:42 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.
Starting point is 00:47:55 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.
Starting point is 00:48:08 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
Starting point is 00:48:28 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.
Starting point is 00:48:44 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
Starting point is 00:48:59 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.
Starting point is 00:49:24 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
Starting point is 00:49:49 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
Starting point is 00:50:04 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.
Starting point is 00:50:23 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.
Starting point is 00:50:36 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.
Starting point is 00:51:18 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
Starting point is 00:51:38 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,
Starting point is 00:51:54 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
Starting point is 00:52:09 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.
Starting point is 00:52:26 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

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,
Starting point is 00:55:06 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.
Starting point is 00:55:37 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.
Starting point is 00:55:52 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?
Starting point is 00:56:18 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.
Starting point is 00:56:30 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
Starting point is 00:57:02 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
Starting point is 00:57:48 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?
Starting point is 00:58:27 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,
Starting point is 00:58:42 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
Starting point is 00:58:59 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?
Starting point is 00:59:23 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.
Starting point is 00:59:45 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.
Starting point is 01:00:20 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
Starting point is 01:00:38 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.
Starting point is 01:01:05 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
Starting point is 01:01:34 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,
Starting point is 01:01:52 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.
Starting point is 01:02:14 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.
Starting point is 01:02:42 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
Starting point is 01:02:59 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
Starting point is 01:03:10 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
Starting point is 01:03:17 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.
Starting point is 01:03:24 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.
Starting point is 01:03:41 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.
Starting point is 01:04:08 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
Starting point is 01:04:41 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.
Starting point is 01:05:02 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
Starting point is 01:05:27 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,
Starting point is 01:05:52 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,
Starting point is 01:06:01 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.
Starting point is 01:06:12 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.
Starting point is 01:06:31 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,
Starting point is 01:07:12 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,
Starting point is 01:07:22 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,
Starting point is 01:07:41 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?
Starting point is 01:08:09 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?
Starting point is 01:08:45 No weapon. No weapon? Nothing? What was his name? Nothing. Mark Jones. Mark Jones. Wow.
Starting point is 01:08:54 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
Starting point is 01:09:12 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.
Starting point is 01:09:30 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
Starting point is 01:09:52 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.
Starting point is 01:10:00 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
Starting point is 01:10:14 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
Starting point is 01:10:37 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.
Starting point is 01:11:10 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.
Starting point is 01:11:50 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.
Starting point is 01:12:16 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
Starting point is 01:12:49 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
Starting point is 01:13:30 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
Starting point is 01:13:46 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
Starting point is 01:14:02 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
Starting point is 01:14:41 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.
Starting point is 01:15:30 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.
Starting point is 01:16:08 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?
Starting point is 01:16:39 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.
Starting point is 01:16:58 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.
Starting point is 01:17:32 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,
Starting point is 01:17:50 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.
Starting point is 01:18:04 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.
Starting point is 01:18:16 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.
Starting point is 01:18:33 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.
Starting point is 01:18:41 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
Starting point is 01:19:11 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
Starting point is 01:19:42 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.
Starting point is 01:20:08 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.
Starting point is 01:20:36 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.
Starting point is 01:20:49 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,
Starting point is 01:21:04 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
Starting point is 01:21:20 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.
Starting point is 01:21:36 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.
Starting point is 01:21:58 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
Starting point is 01:22:17 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.
Starting point is 01:22:45 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
Starting point is 01:23:25 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.
Starting point is 01:23:53 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?
Starting point is 01:24:06 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.
Starting point is 01:24:26 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
Starting point is 01:24:50 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
Starting point is 01:25:12 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
Starting point is 01:25:21 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.
Starting point is 01:25:38 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.
Starting point is 01:25:54 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
Starting point is 01:26:07 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
Starting point is 01:26:22 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.
Starting point is 01:26:37 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.
Starting point is 01:26:55 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.
Starting point is 01:27:12 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.
Starting point is 01:27:28 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
Starting point is 01:27:42 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.
Starting point is 01:27:55 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.
Starting point is 01:28:07 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.
Starting point is 01:28:24 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.
Starting point is 01:28:53 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
Starting point is 01:29:10 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.
Starting point is 01:29:23 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.
Starting point is 01:29:38 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,
Starting point is 01:29:54 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.
Starting point is 01:30:10 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,
Starting point is 01:30:19 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.
Starting point is 01:30:29 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.
Starting point is 01:30:46 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.

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.
