The Breakfast Club - All For a Check

Episode Date: March 29, 2021

Today on the show we had the battle of the listeners from our longtime listeners Trav and Nick G who both submitted a song for other listeners to determine who had the better verse. Also, after Mona S...cott the producer/director of Love And Hip- Hop revealed she does not watch it in her household and possibly just does the show for a check, we opened up the phone lines to see what our listeners thought about it. Moreover, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to two teen girls who killed an uber driver by trying to carjack his car, which turned into a topic about what their punishment should be.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:00:16 What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help!

That's what my podcast
Starting point is 00:00:46 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 Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. Well, y'all have came a long way.. Boy, y'all came a long way. I think that y'all have a certain amount
Starting point is 00:01:49 of respect for, you know, what everybody else does and y'all are just the best at what y'all do. This platform, the reach y'all have that you earned,
Starting point is 00:01:57 makes space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the culture. Oh my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlamagne and DJ Envy. Yes, you are.
Starting point is 00:02:06 All I do is read about the Breakfast Club. Every morning, you guys are trending. Every, you know, I drag my ass out of that. I'm like, uh, what happened on the Breakfast Club today? Shit, get your ass up! Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Starting point is 00:02:37 Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet, it's Monday! Yes, it's Monday, back to the work week. Yeah Monday. Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week. Yeah, man. Tired as hell.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Yeah, I am too. Great weekend, though. I had a great weekend. Shout out to BET Facebook. Gia and I, my wife and I, we hosted the NAACP Image Awards, the pre-virtual show. Of course, everything was virtual this year, so we hosted that. So that was great. I had a fun time doing that.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And then I watched the award show on Saturday night, and it was a dope award show. And then the after party with Cassidy, I just thought that was dope. And congratulations to DJ D-Nice. He got the Entertainer of the Year. Well-deserved. Well-deserved, yes, absolutely. Absolutely. I love to see DJs winning.
Starting point is 00:03:28 I think D-Nice, I think as far as like virtual events during the pandemic, I think DJ D-Nice set it off for everything. Yes. Right? Yep, I would think so. Yeah, he set it off for everything, I think. Just out of the goodness of his heart, too. Just because he wanted to have a good time, you know, have everybody quarantined together, club quarantine.
Starting point is 00:03:43 And it wasn't anything planned. It was organic. Before he even gave it a name. It was just a couple of people on his live. And every day he would do it. And this is when the quarantine just started. And I just remember, you know, when you were in the house, there was nothing to do. So he just started cleaning and doing stuff in the crib.
Starting point is 00:03:56 So we just had the music rocking. And it just took off from, I think, a couple hundred to a couple thousand. That one Saturday night. That one Saturday night. Because he had been building up to it. You know? Then that one Saturday night, because he had been building up to it, you know? Then that one Saturday night, it just like exploded. That's right. Shout out to the brother
Starting point is 00:04:10 DJ D-Nice. What about you guys? I know you all over the place, Yee. I'm in Detroit right now. I had a big wholesale day from my store that I opened in January here in Detroit, Private Label Extensions. It went extremely well, so I'm really happy about that.
Starting point is 00:04:25 You know, when you have a new brick and mortar location, one of the main things you need to do is build brand awareness so people even know your store is there. And just so you guys know, if you are thinking about opening a business, the number one reason that most brick and mortar locations fail is location.
Starting point is 00:04:39 So you always have to make sure you get a really prime location. Just think about where you're putting it, pull out the comps from the area. See how other businesses are doing. But we had a great day. So it was fun. It was a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:04:50 But I'm happy it all came together. Thank you, Detroit. All right. You know what I seen this morning? Well, I heard this morning driving and they were saying cases in the tri-state area, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut are shooting up. And I was like, OK. Yeah, we're actually number one and number two in New Jersey and then New York. Then they said Texas wasn't shooting up. It was
Starting point is 00:05:07 actually going down. And they don't have to wear masks. Everything is open, which is strange to me. That doesn't seem weird to anybody? No. Not if you factor in herd immunity. That just seems weird. Texas is open. I thought it would say herd humanity.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Herd humanity. Yeah, it just seems weird. Texas is open. I thought it said herd humanity. I don't know what you're talking about. Herd humanity. Herd immunity. Yeah, it just seems weird. So if it works for Texas, then, you know, why isn't it working for the rest of the world? The rest of the country? I don't know. Let's ask Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci don't seem like he knows.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Nobody seems like they know. Because they were just mad at Texas for saying, opening up Texas and saying, don't wear masks. But their cases are shooting down. New York, New Jersey, we still 30% dining, still have to wear masks, still can't go to games, still can't do a lot of things. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Yeah, they're trying to understand what's happening. Because, you know, there's new strains that are going around. I don't know. Alright, well. Front page news is next. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, you know what? Let's talk about what's happening with coronavirus and this pandemic and these numbers. Like you said, New York and New Jersey are now leading the country in COVID-19 infections. But what is happening with the pandemic? We'll give you some updates.
Starting point is 00:06:18 All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I don't know if you guys have been watching the NCAA tournament. Have you? I watched some of it last night. Who'd you watch? Yesterday afternoon. I think I saw who was playing Gonzaga Bulldogs
Starting point is 00:06:30 and Creighton, I think. Yeah, well, they're down to the Elite Eight. Gonzaga versus USC. Baylor versus Arkansas. And Houston versus Oregon State. So those are the last
Starting point is 00:06:40 eight teams. So we'll see who takes it. And UCLA versus Michigan. I forgot them. UCLA versus Michigan. I forgot them. UCLA versus Michigan. Yes. All right. Now, where we going, Ye?
Starting point is 00:06:51 Well, let's talk about what Dr. Fauci is saying with these spikes in COVID cases. And he said it's because of premature reopening measures throughout the United States, along with the COVID variants. That's what is to blame for this recent spike. And he said this surge was foreseeable. They have been saying that there would be a spike. He said, I've said many times that when you're coming down from a big peak and you reach a point and start to plateau, once you stay at that plateau, you're really in danger of a surge coming up. And unfortunately, that's what they're starting to. That's what we're starting to see.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Do the vaccines fight the variant? Yeah, they said it is. OK, it does. It is supposed to. And as you know, we just said New York and New Jersey now lead the country in COVID-19 infections. We have the highest rates in the country. Even though there's vaccination efforts, New York has not seen a dramatic reduction in infections. This time, you know, they are saying Governor Cuomo has recently invited the state's largest stadiums to host sporting events and concerts again at limited capacities, while also allowing indoor fitness classes to resume in New York, even though Mayor Bill de Blasio is objecting to that. See, I don't never understand things like that.
Starting point is 00:07:57 So when the cases go up, that's when you open everything back up. It don't make sense. But in Texas, it's wide open and the cases are not. Nobody knows. Hey, man, whatever we've open in the cases of not. Nobody knows. Hey, man, whatever we've been doing the past year, keep doing it. Wear your mask, wash your hands, social distance as much as you feel like it, I guess. That ain't been working, though. It's the craziest thing.
Starting point is 00:08:15 I don't know, man. All right, now there was a CNN documentary that was on last night. I'm not sure if you guys had an opportunity to see this on COVID War. The pandemic doctors speak out. And one person who was speaking on this is Dr. Deborah Birx. Now, she also is talking about the negligent management of the pandemic by former President Donald Trump. And here is what she had to say, because she used to be like one of the top people to talk to about anything that has to do with diseases. And then she got hired to work by Donald Trump. She used to be like one of the top people to talk to about anything that has to do with diseases.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And then she got hired to work by Donald Trump. She thought she was going on the inside to work with Trump and that would be beneficial. Well, here's what she had to say about the pandemic. I knew I was being watched. Everybody inside was waiting for me to make a misstep so they could remove me from the task force. The CNN report in August, that got horrible pushback. Everybody in the White House was upset with that interview and the clarity that I brought about the epidemic. What happened? Well, I got called by the president.
Starting point is 00:09:20 It was very uncomfortable, very direct and very difficult to hear. Were you threatened? I would say it was a very uncomfortable conversation. Yeah, I saw the promos for that doc. I didn't want to watch it because it had a we are on the other side of this pandemic feel when the reality is we are not. We still in it. Right. So it seems like every time she tried to speak out, you know, Donald Trump did not want her to talk about what's happening.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It turned very political, this pandemic. It turned into a real thing on politics about whether or not to wear a mask. And then mask wearing became this whole thing where Donald Trump didn't want to wear his mask. He made it political. When really, it's just something that can save lives. Absolutely. All right, well, that is your Front Page News.
Starting point is 00:10:03 All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We're doing it different this morning. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We're doing it different this morning. Well, we don't. If you listen on Friday, you know that Trav and Nick, his name is Nick G, right? Nick G. Challenged each other to a sauce. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Challenged each other to a duel. That's right. They're longtime listeners. And Nick G was actually riding with Trav. And then Trav turned on him. And they turned on each other. And then they started popping. It got really entertaining. Now, Trav is 1-0 when it comes to Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Battles. Versus. That's right. He's 1-0. Trav has skills. He's going to keep his streak going. That's right. So when we come back, we're going to play both of their songs, their disc records.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And then we're going to open up the phone lines. And they'll allow you guys to pretty much say who won. All right. So we'll do that when we come back. 800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm darling.

Starting point is 00:11:21 Duel of the Iron Mikes. Two of our longtime listeners, Trav and Nick G. Now, it all started because Nick G called up here and he was actually showing Trav some love. I thought Nick jumped in Trav DMs or something. He was showing him love. He was like, yo, I appreciate, I respect, and you killed whatever, whatever, and Trav didn't like it, said get off his D.
Starting point is 00:11:38 So Nick was like, nah. Very strange that Trav did rush a man off his penis. I didn't understand that. I didn't understand it either. But we put them both on the line. They started arguing and decided for a duel. So now let's hear both of their records. We are going to play both of their records this morning. Let's start off with, who do you want to start off with?

Starting point is 00:15:23 So we played both their records this morning. Nice little challenge. A little duel of the Iron Mikes. A little sword fight. Yeah, Nick G was more of a battle rap, a battle record and Trav was just regular, a single. Nah, Trav sounded like Trav sounded very aggressive. I have an opinion on both songs, but I'll keep them to myself.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Nah, tell us now. Now? Yeah. I like Nick G's record better. I'm not gonna lie, Trav. Why your voice get so high like that? I like Nick G's record better. I'm not going to lie, Trav. Why your voice get so high like that? I like Nick G's record better. I mean, Nick G, he didn't sound as angry. He just sounded like he was floating a little bit. It's a smooth beat. Yeah, and he had a nice little, some bars in there.
Starting point is 00:15:55 I like the Kyrie Irving. To beat me, you're going to need Kyrie in a lot of sage. I like that little line. So, did you understand the Jawan Howard title? What about you, Yee? No, I don't. I guess you're saying he's a coach. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:06 You know, I'm very partial to Trav at all times. This is a tough one for me because I did think Nick G did his thing. You going to answer? That means she liked Nick G's song better, Trav. She just don't want to hurt you. But no, I thought, you know, I always think Trav is dope at what he does. I'm going to ride with Trav. All right.

Trav might have taken things for granted thinking he got this too quick. You know what I'm saying? He might have just been lax with his. Stay on that side. Hello who's this?

Starting point is 00:20:20 A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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
Starting point is 00:21:37 and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell
Starting point is 00:22:20 you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone.
Starting point is 00:23:02 The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Well, Boosie's Instagram was deactivated yet again, and he posted, Zuck at Zuck for Mark Zuckerberg. You just a racist. And how did this all happen? What happened behind the scenes? Well, it all started with this video that was circulating where Boosie was in a store. He was with the baby and he slapped somebody.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Nobody knew where it came from. But here's what happened. You want to talk and rap? You can't rap. How are you going to tell me you're a goddamn rapper? happened. I hope that was one take. Yeah, it was for a video shoot and Boosie paid him, I think, $500 for that. Well, we're going to get to that now. So what really happened was he was actually soliciting to find somebody who would be willing to get slapped on camera for the song period they were shooting a video for listen to this so i got 554 whoever let me slap the out them on the period video i won't come on that bitch playing with me i'm just gonna
Starting point is 00:24:57 bat him but it gotta be real though dear me you won't get smacked man why 544 though 54 I was wondering why that specific amount as well maybe that's just what he had in his pocket at that moment I don't know but that's why context matters I know social media lacks it 99% of the time but if you can provide it
Starting point is 00:25:20 do it because when I saw the slap I thought it was real too did you? I mean it was a real slap I mean I know I saw the slap, I thought it was real too. Did you? I mean, it was a real slap. No, he really slapped him. I mean, I know he really slapped him, but I thought Boosie had really got into it with somebody in the store. All right. Well, there's the explanation. But now his Instagram is deactivated. And if y'all remember, this happened to him before.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And he really needed it back because he said that's how he feed his family. You get a lot of money on Instagram. Yeah, period's a tough tune. The hard record. That's a hard record. Really dope. Baby snapped on that. All right, congratulations to Summer Walker and London on the track.
Starting point is 00:25:50 They welcomed their baby girl together. The baby girl was born on March 24th, according to reports. Oh, congratulations to them. Congrats to them, yep. And did y'all know Cassie also had a baby too? Yep, I seen that online too. Cassie and her husband Alex Fine are celebrating as well. They had their second child together.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Their daughter, Sunny Cinco. And if you saw Jason Derulo and Jenna Froome are having a baby as well. That's all the baby talk. All right. Yes, congratulations, everybody. And Cameron, he shared that he has at least 200,000 people blocked on social media. Here's what he said. I don't really like the furniture. Well, get the f*** out. You don't like the curtains? You're like, why are you here? You don't like a bunch of s***, but you still are here.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I agree with him. Oftentimes, you got to save people from themselves because some folks will stay on your page, stay following you just to hate on you, and they're only hurting themselves. When they do that, save a lane from themselves and block them. You know what's so funny? I said that years ago. I said I block everybody who says something negative or says something ish to from themselves and block them. You know what's so funny? I said that years ago. I said I block everybody who says something negative or says something ish to
Starting point is 00:27:08 me. I block them. Y'all was like, oh, you're being too sensitive. No, I think. Nobody said that. I said I do the same thing. I block you in a heartbeat. And I said I will block you and if you comment on the block or like the block or some nasty comment, I'll block you too. But I think it's two approaches, right? Sometimes you want people to continue to see you shining.
Starting point is 00:27:24 You know what I'm saying? It's like if you hate me so much, I'm going to give you more things to hate on. All of this stuff is going to continue to make you sick. But sometimes you got to save them from their cells because they're really just hurting their cells. So just block them. Block. Why do you follow me if you hate me? Why go out of your way to say how much you don't like somebody? Just block.
Starting point is 00:27:41 It's a lot of wasted energy. Let me save you from yourself. All right. somebody. It's a lot of wasted energy. Let me save you from yourself. Alright, now Beyonce, her storage units have been robbed of $1 million in luxury goods, according to a report. Thieves who actually went into her storage units in LA, and they got a lot of luxury handbags and
Starting point is 00:27:55 dresses. According to reports, it's worth more than $1 million. It's three different storage units that are rented by her Parkwood Entertainment Production Company, and thieves broke in two times earlier this month. Here's my question. Is the storage unit company, are they responsible when something
Starting point is 00:28:11 like that happens? I would think so. Don't they got insurance? No, you sign it. It says they're not responsible. Well, and you know that happened to Miley Cyrus as well. Her storage unit got hit up in January it feels like this could also be an inside job because then how do they know whose is whose
Starting point is 00:28:30 yeah that's true too I mean I'm just saying I just want to tell ladies out there I mean most Beyonce dresses and wardrobe I'm sure are one-on-ones one of one so if you're wearing it out there they're gonna know it's Beyonce yeah you're gonna you're gonna look you're gonna look stupid as hell walking around with Beyonce's items. All that glittery stuff, all that sparkly stuff. Who are you going to sell that to? Where are you going to go? If you don't give Beyonce back her goddamn items
Starting point is 00:28:51 so Blue can have her hand-me-downs, what the hell is wrong with you? All right, and who is the world's sexiest bald man? Come on now. Come on now. Why you got to ask such obvious questions? Definitely not you. Well, they found the answer

Starting point is 00:29:48 He's like the old man bald. Damn, do I hear some hate? No, no, no, no, no, no. Do I hear some hate in the room? That's not hate. That's not hate. He's not really bald. Bald is bald.
Starting point is 00:29:58 It's the difference between bald Dean and being bald. I'm bald. He's bald. Prince William is bald Dean. Y'all had a little fuzz growing in, didn't you? Yeah, but Charlamagne cuts his off. He lets his hair grow. Now, I ain't going to front.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So then he's not bald. I ain't going to say Charlamagne's sexy, but I'll take Charlamagne over that Prince whatever his name is. There you go, Amy. Oh, you will? Finally. That sounded crazy. Finally.
Starting point is 00:30:17 That sounded crazy. I'm just saying. It was good. So what? I'm just saying. There's nothing wrong with that. You should be able to say I'm handsome. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:30:23 Then take him. Then take him. And that is your rumor report. I mean, I'll take him. I'm just saying the prince. There's nothing wrong with that. You should be able to say I'm handsome. Well, you know what? Then take him. Then take him. And that is your rumor report. I mean, I'll take him. I'm just saying. That's what you said. I would pick Charlemagne over the prince. The prince looked crazy with the George Jefferson.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Oh, he said pick. I just had to hear that right. Clearly, that top 10 was European beauty standards. Clearly. Mike Tyson? Mike Jordan? Floyd Mayweather? Floyd Mayweather.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather. You ain't even make the list, man. You're right. You're right. You're right.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I'm trying to find ways to hate him. Yeah, that Prince with the George. He's not completely bald, though. He's not completely bald. And it looks trash. That's the rumors. Trash. By the way, I don't know why any of y'all men do that.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Y'all look so stupid with the head just on the side of your head and the bald spot in the middle. Just go bald. You look dumb. You look stupid. And then you try to line it up on the side. It just looks stupid. Let go and let God.
Starting point is 00:31:04 All right. All right. All right. Front page news next. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about the Derek Chauvin trial, the former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Mountain Dew is partnering with HBCUs in an effort to uplift the next generation of badass black innovators and entrepreneurs with the Real Change Opportunity Fund Pitch Competition. Empowering students to go out and do. Visit MountainDew.com slash RealChange to enter. WWPR FMHD1 New York. And iHeartRadio Station. Why do you hate Pitbull?
Starting point is 00:31:43 Man, I never said that. What happened? I know this is crazy. It is. This guy has so bad hate, make that bald list. That's crazy. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:31:54 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now on NCAA Basketball March, Madison, any of you guys watch? I watched one game this weekend. Which game? Gonzaga versus game this weekend. Which game? Gonzaga versus Creighton. Who won? Gonzaga, right? Gonzaga.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Gonzaga, all right. So they're down to the Elite Eight. Now, the Elite Eight are, you have it, Yee? I know it's Oregon State, Houston, Baylor, Arkansas, Gonzaga, USC, and UCLA and Michigan. Last eight teams. Now, what else we got? How come you didn't do the women's Elite Eight? Arkansas, Gonzaga, USC, and UCLA and Michigan. The last eight teams. How come you didn't do the women's Elite Eight?
Starting point is 00:32:30 How come you didn't give me the women's, Dan? Avila versus UConn, Indiana versus Arizona, Texas versus South Carolina, and Louisville versus Stanford. Let's go Gamecocks. Drop one of Clues' bombs for the Gamecocks, damn it. Coach Don Staley always got them in a competitive position. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, today is the day and that's when Court TV is back and people will be
Starting point is 00:32:53 watching opening arguments underway for Derek Chauvin. He is the former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd. So you can actually watch that and get that coverage live as they're in court. What do y'all think about that?
Starting point is 00:33:11 I'm not thinking about it because I don't expect justice, but that's just because we rarely see it. So I'm just sitting back watching. I hope we get justice this time. I mean, we've seen the man put his knee on George Floyd's neck I don't see
Starting point is 00:33:28 I can't see where a jury would be like oh maybe this no oh you don't know America what you mean you don't know America what country we live in oh okay
Starting point is 00:33:37 now according to reports they want us to know this is not the George Floyd trial they said there's a tendency to use George Floyd's name under the assumption that his name is more widely known than Chauvin, but news outlets are being very thoughtful about how they name this trial. They want to make sure that they know this is not George Floyd. He's not on trial.
Starting point is 00:33:54 A lot of times we don't talk about the person who actually committed the crime. So it's a Minnesota versus Derek Chauvin and Derek Chauvin on trial. All right. Now, let's talk about what happened at Oklahoma County Detention Center. An inmate held a correctional officer hostage, took his radio and keys, and released other inmates before he ended up getting shot and killed by police on Saturday. They said the hostage situation took place during a med pass. That's when they give out medicine to the inmates there were 37 inmates housed on the floor it's not clear how many were released and how many were involved in the incident but they said that this all took place
Starting point is 00:34:34 in a segregation pod where the quote inmates that are most difficult to handle are housed when you say released where did they what you mean mean released? Like just out of their pods? Let them out of their cells. Oh, okay. Mm-hmm. But I saw my son post about it, and he said, you cannot dye humans' showers in basic human rights and expect them not to react this way. It's called self-preservation.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Pray for them. Yeah, he's got a point. I mean, if you're not allowing them to shower, you're not giving them food and other basic necessities, yeah, they are going to turn into animals. That got a point. I mean, if you're not allowing them to shower, you're not giving them food and other basic necessities. Yeah, they are going to turn into animals. That's a fact. All right. So, yeah, they said there was a lot of things going on there where people weren't able to access.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And, yeah, so I don't know. Unfortunate situation because that inmate was killed. All right. And that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now let's open up the phone lines. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Shout to Miss Jones. Miss Jones is a woman that got me started in morning radio.
Starting point is 00:35:33 She is doing a reunion podcast where she talks about all the old episodes and the things that she was doing. And we were talking with Maynard over the weekend. And I asked Maynard why he was, you know, what got him into love and hip hop. Why why he would do love and hip hop. And I asked Maino why he was, you know, what got him into love and hip hop, why he would do love and hip hop. And he said, because it's business. And I said, explain yourself. And this is what he said. He had a conversation with Mona Scott. And this is how he said the conversation went. You said Mona Scott says she doesn't watch the show, nor does her kids. When I went to Mona house, I think we had started filming and we went, she was like having a cookout and we talked about the show and she said you know i don't watch the show you know my husband we don't watch the show kids don't
Starting point is 00:36:09 watch the show right then i understood what this is sometimes you do things and it's just purely business all right let's talk about it 800-585-1051 let me me ask you, Charlamagne. You're a producer. You do a lot of production and television. Would you ever do a show that you couldn't watch or that your family couldn't watch? Or that you wouldn't watch? Just for the check. Just for the bread. Just for the check?
Starting point is 00:36:36 No, not just for the check. But I'm sure I would do things that my family wouldn't watch because I got young kids. I mean, your kids. That's why they say your kids. You know what I mean? Because there's a lot of things that I do with my wife that I wouldn't want my kids to watch but just yourself like would you produce a show that you know
Starting point is 00:36:48 you wouldn't watch not just for the check no absolutely not what about you Yee? I can't I don't I wouldn't think so
Starting point is 00:36:57 no I can't say doing that although I do have my podcast lip service I wouldn't want my parents to listen to that but they do alright now Mona Scott also spoke over the weekend and she was talking about Although I do have my podcast lip service, I wouldn't want my parents to listen to that, but they do.
Starting point is 00:37:06 All right. Now, Mona Scott also spoke over the weekend. She was talking about love and hip hop and some of the flack that she gets. Can we play that clip right here on this one? There is a right for every black person to tell their story. This right here was about the women in hip hop who have relationships with these men. Their stories have a right to be told. So that is something I will stand fast in and, you know, argue down anybody any day of the week. What is sometimes infuriating is that my white male counterparts, my white female counterparts aren't held to the same scrutiny. There are shows
Starting point is 00:37:46 that run the gamut from the, you know, Housewives franchise and taking out the Atlanta Housewives to, you know, Honey Boo Boo. There are tons of shows that show the full range of white people and it's okay. And nobody is hanging any of those producers out to dry or saying that they are bringing down their culture. She got a point with that now. And by the way, you know, it's interesting because a lot of industry insiders don't, you know, use their products like we do. Like, you always hear the stories about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
Starting point is 00:38:18 and how, you know, they didn't let their kids use cell phones until they turned a certain age and things of that nature. Or some don't let them use the social media at all. So you hear these type of stories all the time. So let's open up the phone lines. Let's get your thoughts. What do you think? 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Let's talk about it. Let's have a discussion this morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Mona Scott. She was doing TV One Uncensored and said this about loving hip hop and her brand. There is a right for every black person to tell their story. This right here was about the women in hip-hop who have relationships with these men. Their stories have a right to be told. What is sometimes
Starting point is 00:39:15 infuriating is that my white male counterparts, my white female counterparts aren't held to the same scrutiny. There are shows that run the gamut from the, you know, Housewives franchise and taking out the Atlanta Housewives to, you know, Honey Boo Boo. There are tons of shows that show the full range of white people and it's okay. And nobody is hanging any of those producers out to dry or saying that they are bringing down their culture.
Starting point is 00:39:45 All right. Also, over the weekend, I was on the Miss Jones podcast. She does a podcast each and every week. It's a reunion show where she talks about some of her old shows and some of the things that she went through. Mano was there and I asked Mano this question about him being on Love and Hip Hop and why he decided to do it. You said Mona Scott says she doesn't watch the show, nor does her kids. When I went to Mona house, I think we had started filming and we went, she was like having a cookout and we talked about the show and she said, you know, I don't, I don't watch the show. You know, my husband, we don't watch the show. Kids don't watch the show. Right then I understood what this is. Sometimes you do things and it's just purely business. So we're asking 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:40:27 What are your thoughts now? I'll start with you. What do you think? I mean, it depends on appropriateness of things. Like I was saying earlier, I wouldn't want small kids listening to lip service, my podcast, or even my parents for that matter, just because it's my parents. I don't know if I need them to know my, all my business, but you know, that is what it is.
Starting point is 00:40:44 But I do even feel like the Breakfast Closet, certain topics you wouldn't want your kids listening to, I would assume. People tell me that all the time. So maybe it's more mature. I don't know. Okay. Charlamagne, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:40:56 I honestly would have to know the context of Mona Scott's answer because there's a difference between I don't watch the show and I don't watch the show because I think it's negative and I don't want my family to be influenced by watch the show because I think it's negative and I don't want my family to be influenced by that.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Like, for example, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs saying they don't let their kids use their products because their products are addictive but have no problem with our kids being addicted.
Starting point is 00:41:15 That's unethical and hypocritical to me. You know what I'm saying? But Mona saying she doesn't watch the show, I would have to know why because I don't listen to the radio. I don't.
Starting point is 00:41:23 When I'm like, I'm just riding around, I listen to the radio. But why don't you listen to the radio. I don't. When I'm like, I'm just riding around, I listen to the radio. But why don't you listen to the radio? I just don't. I mean, not because I think it's negative or anything like that. I'm just a little busy. I'm preoccupied. I think the context was because I think he felt it was negative.
Starting point is 00:41:35 But, I mean, I'm one of those people that if I don't want to just do something for a check where it's pushing my community down, if that's how I felt. If that was the situation. It's kind of like, yeah, I sell crack, but I don't want my kids or my family to use sell crack, but I sell crack to the community to make money. I'm not comparing crack to TV, but it kind of feels like the same way. I'm not going to do something for a check that belittles my community.
Starting point is 00:41:58 That's why I said I would have to know the context. She might just not watch the show because she don't watch the show. I don't listen to radio. It's not an intentional decision. It's just that I got my streaming services. I got podcasts. But it's not because there's something negative. You just don't because you have other things to do.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And I don't go on Breakfast Club page and watch all YouTube videos. Because, I mean, you record it. You do it. But even still, like, some people may go back and watch themselves, critique themselves, or they may, you know, go back for more information. I just, you know, I don't tend to do that. All right. Well, let's go to the phone line.
Starting point is 00:42:32 She may not just want to bring work home. Who knows? I don't know. Hello, who's this? What up, y'all? This is TJ, Dad, man. Good morning. Hey, what's going on, bro?
Starting point is 00:42:40 Hey, this is my boys. Hey, this is Pei Yang, Charlamagne. Pei Yang. You know, Amy, that's my boy. What up, boy? Hey, I'm born, too, man man i feel like i look better than the prince too charlotte man don't feel bad you probably do oh gosh i know i know yeah uh yeah we uh my thoughts is man and um mona scott man i i she got the nerve not to watch it and her family man makes me feel kind of like you know i don't know i'm angry of it because I feel like some of the shows she put out,
Starting point is 00:43:07 she's making the culture look real bad. So for her to have the nerve to say she don't watch it, I basically don't watch it. Okay. All right, don't say that while you're smoking on a cigarette now because I guarantee you that the people who run them cigarette companies don't let their kids smoke either. No.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Thank you, bro. See what I'm saying? Don't judge. I'm not. I'm just saying that. I just think it's a lot of industries that don't let their kids partake in things. Hello, who's this? Charlie, what up?
Starting point is 00:43:33 Charlie, man, what's going on? What up, Pepe? What's up, bro? What do you think about what Mona Scott said? Yo, listen, man. I feel like Mona Scott Pepe is just like Mama D was. It's just that she just got a better wig selection stupid man
Starting point is 00:43:47 alright man yes sir did anybody ever tell me you look like Buzz Lightyear you can't laugh at your own jokes you can't laugh at your own jokes but 805-85-1051 we're talking Mona Scott.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Jesus Christ. But I would say Mona Scott is like, she's done so much for the culture. So I can't just say she's putting our culture down when it came to Missy Elliott and LL Cool J and helping with 50 and all the things that she's done. So it's not just, okay, this is all she does and it's negative, negative, negative. No, she has done a lot for our culture. But we're just talking about this. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own

Starting point is 00:48:27 This right here was about the women in hip hop who have relationships with these men. Their stories have a right to be told. So that is something I will stand fast in and, you know, argue down anybody any day of the week. What is sometimes infuriating is that my white male counterparts, my white female counterparts aren't held to the same scrutiny. There are shows that run the gamut from the, you know, Housewives franchise and taking out the Atlanta Housewives to, you know, Honey Boo Boo.
Starting point is 00:49:00 There are tons of shows that show the full range of white people and it's okay. And nobody is hanging any of those producers out to dry or saying that they are bringing down their culture. Also, I was talking to Mayno about Mona Scott and him being on Love and Hip Hop and he said it's just business. And he said he had this conversation with Mona at her crib at a barbecue. You said Mona Scott says she doesn't watch the show, nor does her kids? When I went to Mona's house, I think we had started filming, and we went, she was like having a cookout,
Starting point is 00:49:31 and we talked about the show, and she said, you know, I don't watch the show. You know, my husband, we don't watch the show. Kids don't watch the show. Right then, I understood what this is. Sometimes you do things, and it's just purely business. Mona is right when she says she gets more flack
Starting point is 00:49:47 than her male counterparts for making the same kind of shows. Because even now, like, Loving Hip Hop, Mona hasn't, her production company hasn't produced that show in forever.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Like, she gets a credit on it. But I think if I'm not mistaken, it's Big Fish Entertainment. Big Fish is ran by a bunch of white men. You know what I mean? But you don't hear nobody saying, oh, Big Fish is bringing down the black community. But I guess not mistaken, is Big Fish Entertainment. Big Fish is ran by a bunch of white men. You know what I mean? But you don't hear nobody saying,
Starting point is 00:50:05 oh, Big Fish is bringing down the black community. But I guess for Mona, she also has put herself on the show too. So it kind of makes people... She's the face of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Yeah, it makes people affiliate her with it a lot more. But although Andy Cohen does the same thing. That's why I say I don't watch Real Housewives like that.
Starting point is 00:50:21 That's why I asked y'all last week, you know, which is one is more ratchet. He has the shows where he said, you know, watch what happens. Which one is more ratchet, Love & Hip Hop or Real Housewives? I would say Love & Hip Hop. Okay. I would say, I know a lot of people on Love & Hip Hop would say
Starting point is 00:50:38 they never got the opportunity to show the things that they're working on. If they were working on music or if they were trying to open a store, they were saying it's hard to get those type of things in the show. I know for the Housewives franchise and even, they show a lot of the stuff that they're doing.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Like, you've seen Kandi's restaurant. You've seen Kandi's dungeon line. You've seen Portia doing the civil rights thing and marching. Like, you see a lot of that
Starting point is 00:51:01 as well. There's balance. Right, there is balance. I don't know if there's that much balance on Love & Hiphop. Hello. Who's this? Jasmine Jasmine good morning. What are your thoughts? So I feel like there's nothing wrong with what she produces at the end of the day. It's real
Starting point is 00:51:15 Um, we really like people really act like that and then I feel like black women we're held to a higher standard always We're always expected to be you know to control ourselves and to be this and to be that. But at the end of the day, that's just not, it's just not fair, you know, because like she said, her white counterparts produce shows that don't show their race in the best light. But like they're glorified. It's like nothing said about them. I get what you, I see both sides though, because you know, the reason that white people are able to showcase their whole spectrum is because there's way more white shows.
Starting point is 00:51:52 That is true too. You know what I mean? It's not a lot of black shows. And when it's not a lot of black shows, you know, we expect the highest standard of ourselves to be shown at all times. But I would say this too. It's also what these networks are willing to grab. You know, Love & Hiphop, black people fighting,
Starting point is 00:52:05 black people arguing, a network will pick that up. But I remember the first person that was interested in my family, the KC crew, and showing a positive light on television was Mona. She was the first person that tried to get that greenlit, and everybody at first was like, no, where's the drama? Where's the this? Where's the that? And the TV networks wanted the drama and the beef and the bickering. See? So that's what I'm saying. Mona gets to blame
Starting point is 00:52:28 a lot of times just for I guess conforming to create the kind of show that these networks want. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Anton Baxter, Louisville, Kentucky, man. What's up, man? What's going on, brother? We're asking, you know, what are your thoughts? Listen, I feel like this.
Starting point is 00:52:46 If you're going to create a show and not allow your family to watch it because you feel like it'll offer, you know, bad characteristics to them, why allow other black families? Because all it's doing at the end of the day, I feel like it's tearing down the image. Whether people are saying it or not, whether it's
Starting point is 00:53:01 good entertainment or not, it's still tearing down the image of black people because at the beginning of the show it's good entertainment or not, it still turns down the image of black people. Because at the beginning of the show, it starts off, you know, like she said, talking about their career and highlighting their career. But at the end of the day, they end up fighting. So at the end of the day, more people is talking about the fights than actually their careers. Shouts out to K. Michelle and Cardi B. They actually came up off the show. But that's like one out of 100.
Starting point is 00:53:28 So I just feel like if I ain't gonna throw the gun out here, if I ain't gonna sell the gun out here, why would I introduce my kids or my family to a boy? And you're not wrong, but once again, we gotta know the context of her answer.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Like I said, it's a difference between I don't watch the show and I don't watch the show because I think it's negative and I don't want my family influenced by that. I don't know why she don't watch this show. Right. So what's the moral of the story, guys? I don't know if there is one. I just think we
Starting point is 00:53:53 just need to have more balance on television and I don't necessarily think that's just Mona Scott. I just think that these TV networks has to allow more of a balance and at one time they liked the ratchet because it brought the ratings but it has to be a balance. It has to be positivity. It has to be a little bit of everything.
Starting point is 00:54:07 But us as consumers, we need to watch both sides of it. Because sometimes when they put the positive stuff on air, we don't watch it because we like the ratchet-ish more. But we have to make sure that we support both sides, I think. Yeah, I don't even know what ratchet is nowadays because there's nothing on TV that compares to what I see on social media. So I don't even know what the bar is anymore. Alright. Now, Yib, you got rumors on the way?
Starting point is 00:54:28 Yes, and we are going to be talking about these Satan shoes, and artists put out these shoes. There's only 666 pairs available, and we'll give you a little information on how you can get them and the controversy surrounding them, because there is some
Starting point is 00:54:43 human blood in them. I'll pass. All right, but we'll talk about it next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Let me send a congratulations to my cousin, Dr. Jasmine Walker. She received her first choice match at Abington Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is now a doctor. So congratulations to my cousin. We love you and the family loves you. So proud of you. So congrats. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:55:17 She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Lil Nas X put out his video for Montero, Call Me By Your Name. And by the way, I just checked it. It has almost 32 million views since it came out on Friday. And a lot of fans were excited about it
Starting point is 00:55:37 because it talks about how it feels to come out as a member of the LGBTQ community. Some people have criticism about it. It's filled with biblical references. And he was going back and forth with people on Twitter. He said, there is a mass shooting every week that our government does nothing to stop. Me sliding down a CGI pole isn't what's destroying society. People had issues with him, you know, sliding down this pole.
Starting point is 00:55:59 He's going down to hell. Then he gives Satan a lap dance while he wears patent leather thigh high stilettos. By the way, little Nas X looks good. Okay. He also said, show my three-month-old niece the call me by your name video. And she said, uncle, that was quite the stupendous visual. Why in heavens would any individual be enraged over such a sensational showpiece? He said, I'm going to go cry, y'all.
Starting point is 00:56:22 And it just was a lot of controversy. Joyner Lucas said, I think the biggest problem for me is the fact he don't understand Old Town Road is every kid's anthem. Children love him for that record. They tuned in and subscribed to his channels. So with no disclaimer, he just dropped some left field ish and all our kids seen it. He responded, I literally sing about lean and adultery in Old Town Road. You decided to let your child listen. Blame yourself.
Starting point is 00:56:45 A lot of people were weighing in. He also put out these Satan Nikes that contained human blood. And they're called Satan Shoes. There's a bronze pentagram, an inverted cross, and a drop of real human blood in them. So Nike actually had to make a statement and say that they were not involved
Starting point is 00:57:02 and it's not an official release. They said, we do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or Mischief. Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them. Now, since all the controversy, Lil Nas X did issue this apology. Okay, guys.
Starting point is 00:57:17 I see everybody's been talking about this shoe and I just want to come forward and say, f*** it. Sorry, sorry. So that's the lowdown on Lil Nas X. What y'all think? Yeah, so Nike had nothing to do with these shoes. There was a designer that redid these shoes over.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Now they did a Satan and a Jesus shoe. So the Jesus shoe is a white sneaker. Yeah, it's a white sneaker. And then the Satan shoe was the black sneaker, right? Am I getting that right? Jesus is old. Jesus is what? Old.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Oh, the Jesus sneakers were old. Yeah, I was like, no, he just put these up. But they're going for like $1,500 online. I haven't seen the video. I just saw some snippets on social media. But yeah, I don't do Satan. I don't even know why folks would want to play with that. You know, 666, human blood.
Starting point is 00:58:03 I'm not with all that. I'm a country-ass Negro who grew up in Moscona, South Carolina. My mom was a Jehovah Witness. My grandmother was a Baptist. Get behind these Satan. I renounce Satan and all his works. I'm just a smart New Yorker. I ain't messing with nothing that has nothing to do with Satan.
Starting point is 00:58:16 No 666, nothing. I tell you what, if my blood in those sneakers, I want royalties. Okay? If my blood is in those sneakers, I need equity in those goddamn shoes okay and what and what if you just look at the jesus shoes and the satan shoes and you're like man them satan shoes way harder than the jesus shoes can you go to hell for that the black ones look a lot better black ones look a lot harder i'm i ain't even seen the jesus when i saw the chick-fil-a ones he posted those look kind of fire, too.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Are you happy now, he said? I think those were fake. Oh, those were fake? I don't see them anymore. I can't keep up no more with what's real and what's fake. I thought that was real. I haven't seen them anywhere. I would cop those Chick-fil-A ones.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Chick-fil-A joints was hard. It said John 316 on them. Well, if anything else, I did like the song Montero. I didn't even hear it you didn't watch the video no I told you I don't do Satan as soon as I saw the snippets I'm like okay I'm cool I wasn't messing with it either alright now Halle Berry is responding
Starting point is 00:59:15 to racist comments that came from a New York radio host in Buffalo who by the way is fired and here are the comments that he made Rob Rob Lederman. See, we have ours, and I may get into trouble for this. It's like 2 o'clock. I have them to the attractiveness of women that I find to be attractive.
Starting point is 00:59:34 So I'll go, I will never go to a Serena Williams level. But I'm very comfortable with a Halle Berry level. I need a little bit of mulatto still coming through it. I don't get what he was talking about. So he's comparing attractiveness of black women to different settings on a toaster.
Starting point is 00:59:57 So basically he talked about Serena Williams. He talked about Gayle King. He talked about Halle Berry and the complexion as compared to settings on a toaster. There are different complexions. What's his name? Rob Lederman.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Yeah, Rob Lederman. He woke up and chose unemployment. That's when you wake up and you say to yourself, you know what? I'm tired of this job. But what he said. How can I go out with a bang? When you start off with, I'm probably going to get in trouble for this. That's when you should stop.
Starting point is 01:00:22 You're goddamn right. Especially. He got fired right away, by the way. He got fired. And Halle Berry said, disgusting. It's ridiculous. This type of nonsense is still being broadcasted across airwaves. All black women are beautiful and worthy.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Rob Letterman, GTFOH. GTFOH. Get the F out of here. It's Monday, man. Now, Rob Letterman told the Buffalo News that he was horrified by his own remarks after he listened back to them. I could easily see how someone could be offended by that. I get that. It sounds terrible, and it is terrible.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Now, can I take back those words? No. If you listen to them, were they meant to be hurtful? Absolutely not. He said he wants to learn from this and that he is remorseful to anybody that would be hurt by what he said. I need to see what the show prep meeting was like. Okay? When y'all had that show prep meeting. Feels like he went off the rails. You think so?
Starting point is 01:01:10 You think he went rogue? He had to be thinking about that at home. He's not clever at all. Not at all. Stupid. Alright. Oscar De La Hoya has announced that he is making a comeback. He's 48 years old. He's retired. But he does plan to come back to sports. Here he is making a comeback. He's 48 years old. He's retired, but he does plan to come back to sports.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Here he is talking about it. I feel like it's something missing, man. I keep seeing you in the ring, but I don't see you in the ring. I mean, talk to me. Why don't you, I mean, you're part owner of a trailer fight club. Why don't you tell me?
Starting point is 01:01:40 I think you should tell him, man. It's you, not me. July 3rd, I'm making my comeback. First of all, dropping a clues bomb for Snoop Dogg being part on a trailer. Smart man. Smart man to get in on a trailer. Oscar De La Hoya was with Snoop Dogg, and they were doing the Jake Paul versus Ben Askren press conference on Triller. And that's where he announced his July 3rd fight.
Starting point is 01:02:04 What y'all think? Who's he going to fight? He doesn't know yet? I feel like he needs money. He didn't say yet. I think Oscar De La Hoya must need money. That's what I think. He has Golden Boy promotions.
Starting point is 01:02:11 That does really well. Well, but think about it, though. When you see the money that Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. make, or Floyd, whenever they come out and do exhibition matches, it's kind of hard not to want to get out there and get some of that money. You know what I'm saying? Even if you may not necessarily need it, but these guys are getting tens of millions not to want to get out there and get some of that money. You know what I'm saying? Even if you may not necessarily need it, but these guys are getting tens of millions of
Starting point is 01:02:28 dollars just to go out there and spar a little bit. Why not? He's getting that to not have to fight. Nah. I don't know he getting that much. Nah. I know he lost Canelo Alvarez. He still got Ryan Garcia, but nah, he, trust me, to go out there and make a quick $20, $30 million, why wouldn't you go do that for eight rounds of nothing?
Starting point is 01:02:44 Exhibition. You hitting the head and die? Man, they not going out there to bang on each other like that. Roy and Mike didn't. Mike took it serious. You see, Roy was... Roy looked hurt after. Not after.
Starting point is 01:02:56 But they said, you want to do a rematch? Roy said, I got to go home and talk to my wife about this one. Well, they put that money on the table. He'll come out there. Same thing with Dale LaHoya. You want to get the money.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Why not? I mean, he owns a soccer team. He's worth like $200 million. You think he's doing that just to get a little money? What did Dana White say? A good friend of yours, Oscar Dale Ahoy, has announced he's coming out of retirement to box again. Cocaine isn't cheap. Got to make money.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Dale. Dale. Drop one of the clue pumps for Dana White. That's racist, man. Why is that racist? Because that's a stereotype Of Latins That the cocaine
Starting point is 01:03:28 And drugs and all that No it's not Oscar De La Hoya does cocaine If it was a black man And he said Oh crack it must be expensive Y'all would have a problem With that
Starting point is 01:03:35 Let me ask you a question Does Oscar De La Hoya do cocaine? How do I know? Do you know? You've never read the stories? I don't read the stories And I don't hang out With Oscar De La Hoya
Starting point is 01:03:41 But Dana White knows better That's not racist That's racist That's not racist Alright guys That racist. That's not racist. That's not racist. All right, guys. That's your rumor report. I've never heard that.
Starting point is 01:03:50 I think he talked about him using cocaine before. Who? Oscar De La Hoya. Yes, he admitted the cocaine and alcohol used to the FBI. Yes, so that's why
Starting point is 01:03:57 he said it, you idiot. Everything about drama was about your own people. I'm tired of you not knowing. Okay. About somebody's cocaine use? Oh, my God. He said cocaine.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Oh, my God. That's racist. He admitted it. About somebody's cocaine use? Oh my God, that was a big story. Oh my God, that's racist. He admitted it. Now what did he say? Apologize. That was a big story, man. Apologize. Oh, you're wrong, but you want to apologize. You know, guys, drugs are a problem in this country and we can't be sitting here making jokes about it, okay? Apologize? You just said something was racist. That clearly wasn't. You guys, can we move
Starting point is 01:04:21 on, please? We have a time schedule here. Rumor report. Thank you. I jumped off the ledge a little bit. Alright, there you go. Thank you. You ain't saying apologize. on, please? We have a time schedule here. Rumor report. Thank you. I jumped off the ledge a little bit. All right, Dan. Thank you. You ain't saying apologize. I had my coffee this morning. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Charlamagne, we giving that donkey to you. Absolutely. You know, by the way, that Dana White comment was from last year. Just wanted to throw that out there. From August of 2020. Guys, we got to go. Yes, donkey.
Starting point is 01:04:48 It's a story about why you should make better choices when you're young. We'll discuss for after the hour. All right, it's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. When a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing, the results are often deadly. Be cautious at crossings, and if the signals are going, don't be tempted to try and sneak across the tracks, even if you don't see a train.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Stop. Trains can't. Brought to you by NHTSA. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, I'm Sean LeMay. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. But like a donkey. Donkey of the Day. It's the practice Club, bitches.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yeah, it's Monday, guys. I hate to start the week off like this, but donkey of the day for Monday, March 29th goes to two teenage girls, okay? 13 and 15 years old from Washington, D.C. Of course, these
Starting point is 01:05:41 young lady names aren't released because they are minors, but man, if trouble is easy to get into and hard to get out of, was ever two persons, it would be these two young ladies. Now, R.I.P. to Mohammed Anwar, 66 years old, of Springfield, Virginia. He's dead for absolutely nothing. Well, not absolutely nothing. He's dead because this 13 and 15 year old girls made a poor choice. And that's what life is, ladies and gentlemen, a series of choices. OK, destiny is not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. That's right. Life is all about making choices. Kids, I know it's hard, but always do your best to make the right ones and always do your best to learn from the wrong ones.
Starting point is 01:06:18 OK, these two young girls definitely made the wrong choice. This 13 and 15 yearyear-old made a choice that is going to alter the course of their lives forever. Let's go to WUSA CBS 9 for the report, please. The detective says that one of the girls admitted that the two of them took the Metro here to Navy Yard with the intent of stealing a car. They encountered Mohamed Anwar, 66, in a Honda Accord. There was a bit of a struggle.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Anwar got a hold of one of the girl's cell phones. The two girls were in the car. He was on the driver's side, trapped between the car door and the driver's seat. One girl says that the other girl jammed the car into gear and started swinging the wheel while Anwar, the Uber Eats driver, was trapped back there. The car hit something here. The door slammed into Anwar. Then the car spun around, took a hard right turn here on N Street right by Matt's Stadium, went up on two wheels and more was thrown and crushed and he died at the hospital i know y'all a lot of y'all watched that video this weekend uh i did not i really wish social media didn't allow this kind of trauma to be shared i don't watch videos like
Starting point is 01:07:40 this but what that news reporter just described is what was shown on that video on social media in hd and i can only imagine the hurt the pain and the trauma muhammad anwar's family feels because that video will live forever online and unfortunately you know i mean that video will live forever online and it shouldn't okay nobody's last moments alive should be broadcast for the world to see but alas that is the world we live in. But there is another side to this. The fact that a 13 and 15-year-old girl, for whatever reason, decided to carjack the Uber Eats driver. Were they hungry? Were they trying to rob him for food? Were they trying to rob him for money?
Starting point is 01:08:14 I don't know what caused them to make such a poor choice, but now they are charged with felony murder and armed carjacking. The younger girl is from the southeast section of D.C. The older girl from Fort Washington, Maryland. Two kids. Life ruined forever. And we don't know what for. Yes, I would like to know the reason they made such a poor choice because it can be used as a
Starting point is 01:08:34 preventive measure in the future. But I'm telling you, the lesson to be learned here is that trouble is easy to get into and hard to get out of. I know for a fact that whatever that 13 and 15-year-old girl had planned wasn't supposed to end like this. Now a family has a GoFundMe page set up, you know, for the funeral
Starting point is 01:08:50 of a loved one, Muhammad Anwar. As the GoFundMe says, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend who always provided a smile when you needed one. He leaves behind a family near and far who cherish, love, and miss him dearly. Can you imagine being the parents
Starting point is 01:09:05 of this 13 and 15 year old girl the range of emotions one must go through when they are mad and sad at the same time you're mad they made such a poor choice but you're sad because now you know you know your kids are property of the state but it's got to be confusing because they are just kids does this society make it possible for them to bounce back from this? Should they be able to bounce back from this? Can you chalk up something like this is just a mistake. Do they go to juvenile prison? And if so, for how long do these kids lose their lives because they took one? I truly don't know. I mean, we were all kids once. And I know for a fact the life I was leading, these are the kinds of things my parents dreaded, you know, for me.
Starting point is 01:09:47 And thank God I never ended up in a situation like this. But please, please, kids out there, learn from these two young girls' mistakes. And remember, life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. Please give this 13- and 15-year-old girl the biggest hee-haw. I really don't know i mean they definitely uh you know gotta be be held responsible for the consequences of their actions but you know someone's life yeah but how severe are those consequences well let's let's talk about it 800-585-1051 what do you think should happen to these two children, this 13 and 15-year-old? You know?
Starting point is 01:10:28 They took a life. So there has to be some type of consequences. It does have to be some type of consequences. But does that mean that their lives are completely over now? I don't think so. 13 and 15? I don't think so. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:38 I don't think they had the intention to kill that gentleman when they went to steal that car. And like I was telling the producer, right now, what people are doing is they're getting these teens to steal cars. And the reason being is if the teens get caught, they get no jail time. They only get a community service. They get a slap on the wrist. But if an adult does it, they get jail time. So they pay these teens $3,000 to $5,000 to steal these cars.
Starting point is 01:11:01 And then when they steal these cars, they usually sell these cars overseas, and they get $20,000, $30,000 for these vehicles. So that's a big business in the hood. That's what they're doing. Hey, go steal these cars. Here's $2,000, $3,000. And most teens will be like, oh, I'll go steal this car.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Go steal $3,000. I don't have to have a gun and go do it. And this is what can happen. But I don't think these children's lives should be in jail for the rest of their lives. I don't think they should do life in prison. Two young girls, 13 and 15. I don't know. I don't know what the consequences should be, jail for the rest of their lives. I don't think they should do life in prison. Two young girls, 13 and 15. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I don't know what the consequences should be, but it's worth a discussion. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Donkey the day to who? 13- and 15-year-old girls from the D.C. area who carjacked the Uber each driver and the carjacking
Starting point is 01:12:07 ended up with them catching a homicide charge because if you watch the video somehow or another it's a homicide but go ahead what did I say? homicide
Starting point is 01:12:15 no a murder and you know they're charged with it right now alright so we're asking what do you think should happen to these these girls
Starting point is 01:12:23 I mean it's a tough one. They're 13 and 15. I don't think they had an intention of going to kill somebody. They made a horrible decision that that cost somebody their life. So what should happen? Should they get life in prison? I don't believe so. Definitely juvenile detention. Definitely. Hopefully some some type of programs that put them on the right track. But I honestly don't know i like i don't yeah i would think these uh they are 13 and 15 years old you can't put them in prison with adults no you gotta be jovi and you gotta figure out how do you rehabilitate these children because they're only 13 and 15 years old but they do need to have
Starting point is 01:13:03 accountability and understand what their actions have caused. So, you know, I don't think you want to give up on these kids. No. But it's just going to take some serious work. Yeah. I mean, listen, I don't know either, man. 13 and 15 year olds absolutely will make poor choices. We were all 13 and 15 at one point.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Sadly, this poor choice cost someone their life. I definitely think they have to deal with the consequences of their actions, but I don't want their whole lives to be taken away from them, but this is something
Starting point is 01:13:31 that will follow them for the rest of their lives. They're going to have to do a lot of therapy, mentally and emotionally. You know what I mean? Spiritually. I don't even think
Starting point is 01:13:39 they should get half their lives. I think they should do maybe a year and two in juvie and some type of program to make sure they're okay and make sure they graduate high school
Starting point is 01:13:48 and put them in college and definitely check the board. Easy for us to say, though. Easy for us to say because it wasn't our family member who got taken away. That is true, too. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:13:54 That is true, too. That family, Muhammad Anwar's family, may want to see them suffer. You know what I mean? That is true. Since that guy would never get his life back,
Starting point is 01:14:03 Muhammad Anwar, they may feel like these kids don't deserve a life i don't know but think about some of the things that we did when we were 13 and 15 that you know it could have went either way we could have maybe hurt somebody and you know oh absolutely the first time i ever the first time i ever went to jail was for assaulting braddy with intent to kill and that's because my homeboy shot at somebody when i was in the back seat and the bullet hit the seat. It was three people in the car that they shot at. The bullet hit the fourth seat,
Starting point is 01:14:31 the headrest of the fourth seat that nobody was sitting in. Wow. If somebody would have been sitting in there, they'd probably been dead right now. And I'm sure I would have been in jail. Right. I used to throw rocks.
Starting point is 01:14:40 I don't even ask why. I used to throw rocks at buses as they were driving by in Queens. And just imagine if one of those rocks Hit the bus driver and the bus driver crash It's nothing that you think about now you'd be like damn. I was dumb, but it's just ish, you know, let's go to the phone lines Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning Maria now you a CEO
Starting point is 01:15:00 Yes, I'm feel at a female prison. Uh female prison and i've seen firsthand what prison does to young adolescents so i'm so against it they go in being innocent at times and they come out worse i think they need maybe six to one year in juvie some community service heavy counseling but prison prison it doesn't serve them all right and that's great cuz I you're somebody who's there and sees what happened to a lot of these girls that go in I've been a steal for 10 years and I've seen the worst of the worst if you're an adult granite yeah go to prison if you kill someone you've done heavy criminal acts yes but these young people young girls young kids young boys no so i go in at 17
Starting point is 01:15:48 years 18 years old and they go in being innocent for in some cases like shy um maybe not too sure about what their life is going to be they come worse. I've seen them in three years turn around, become gang members inside the prison, doing things they never thought they would ever do, and it's just something that people don't believe. So what do you think should happen to these young girls? Heavy counseling, maybe six months to a year in juvie, and prison, prison now. They need heavy counseling. They're prison now. They need heavy help.
Starting point is 01:16:25 They're too young. They're too young. 13 and 15 is young. It's very young. I saw the video. Like you guys were saying earlier, maybe they were put up to this to do something
Starting point is 01:16:36 that they didn't know the outcome. Right. And it's a sorry, it was a very sorry situation for everybody, for both families. True indeed. They're too young.
Starting point is 01:16:45 I agree. All right. Well, thank you, Mama. Be safe out there, too. Oh, thank you. All right. 800-585-1051. If you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Donkey the day to these two children.
Starting point is 01:16:59 You want to tell them the story right fast, Charlamagne? Yeah. 13- and 15-year-old girls in D.C. carjacked the Uber Eats driver, which led to an accident happening that took the life of Mohamed Anwar, the Uber Eats driver. All right, what should happen to these girls? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Good morning. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. That kid don't even deal with that. Call me.
Starting point is 01:17:23 And your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, we're asking what should happen to the 13 and 15-year-old girl. They were trying to carjack an Uber Eats driver.
Starting point is 01:17:42 And as they were trying to do it, they crashed, and the Uber Eats driver died. So we're asking, what should happen to these 13- and 15-year-olds? We have Eric on the line. Eric, good morning. Good morning. What do you think should happen to these young girls? Justice and mercy. And I guess, to me, they're on the same level.
Starting point is 01:18:04 They definitely need to suffer consequences for their behavior. I don't believe that this is the first event that's taken place in either one of their lives that's led them to do something like this. This is a progression. They've probably had some other things going on in their life in the past, whether it's their living situation, whether it's how they were raised or their lack of. But there's definitely, you know, and the justice issue is there for me, and I stand firm on that as a mother, because I do have children of my own. If a 13-year-old child or a 15-year-old child of mine did something like this, I would be devastated and would want mercy for them, as we all would.
Starting point is 01:18:49 At the same time, I'm also a firm believer of justice. Now, whether these girls, I don't know if they're African-American, I don't know what color they are, if they're Mexican or what. But if they get justice or if they get thrown into a system where they're not rehabilitated, it's a whole other issue on another level. Because there has to be rehabilitation for them to be able to come home and enter back into society and be functional and be better than they were when they went in. However, if they don't go in, will they be rehabilitated out in the life, live in the life that they live? Or will there be continuous robbery? Will there be continuous murders? Will there be continuous things that continue to take place in their life? This may be the intervention that they need.
Starting point is 01:19:29 And it's sad that we have another family that has lost somebody. And this is often what happens in our community. with young african-american children or or brown children or even white children that are in a bad living situation and come up in poverty that are fending for themselves try to make it try to survive try to do what they need to do or maybe all they know how to do yeah you know the thing is we just don't know you know why you know because so i i was i was raised amazingly but you know sometimes as a as a teen or a kid you do stupid things. I threw rocks at buses because I thought it was funny. But I didn't think about, damn, if that rock hits a bus driver and that bus driver loses control
Starting point is 01:20:10 and he crashes and everybody dies on that bus, that's not something that my mind was thinking of at 13 years old. What if these two girls were actually starving? I'm not making excuses for them, but they did rob an Uber Eats driver. What if they were actually hungry? I don't know. I don't think that they were robbing an uber east driver because they were
Starting point is 01:20:27 hungry i think you know the gentleman who spoke and he was talking about doing dumb things when we're when we're young i mean our brains aren't developed at 13 and 15 years old so of course you know some people do different things for fun like throwing rocks at buses or jumping off for bridges or thrill seekers you know a lot of a lot of young children are thrill seekers they're bored they have no well you don't have guidance you don't have no one showing you the way and and kind of leading you and telling you and and and watching you and having a good hold on you and directing you in life you kind of just start bouncing right and you do what all you just do what you out there just doing it you're just
Starting point is 01:21:02 smiling you're just doing what you do right and. Just doing it. You're just smiling. You're just doing what you do. And then situations like this happen. But, you know, there has to be an intervention for our youth. There has to be somebody that talks to them and explains to them how real it is and how real it can be. Because now the situation is this. They're going to jail. Okay? Whether it's juvenile or if they bind them over.
Starting point is 01:21:31 Because at 15 years old, they can go to an adult prison. Right. And they'll be in a juvenile unit. But thank you for calling, Mama. I mean, it's stupid. And having kids, your kids can do stupid things and you just don't know about it. You know what I mean? My parents never knew I did that. I was at my friend's house, you know?
Starting point is 01:21:42 Yeah. I wish these prisons were actual correctional facilities. I wish that they could put these kids somewhere that they could actually rehabilitate them. I wish, too. Hello, who's this? Yo, hello? What's up, man? What's your name, bro? Hey, what's going on? Hey, first off, good morning.
Starting point is 01:21:57 My name is D. D. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, my name is Casey. I'm from Lansing. I'm on my way to Detroit. I just want to chime in real quick.
Starting point is 01:22:09 It sounds like Envy and Charlamagne is showing sympathy for these two girls. I don't like that. I think you should keep the same energy you keep for any other killer out here. I think it's because these girls are, I don't know for sure from the video, but I think they're young black girls. And, yes. I don't know what color they are. I didn't see the video. I don't know what they are. I don't know for sure from the video, but I think they're young black girls. And, yes. I don't know what color they are. I didn't see the video.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I don't know what they are. I don't know what color they are. I didn't watch the video, honestly. Hold on, hold on. Let me speak first. I know I got limited time. I think because they are, y'all trying to show sympathy, I agree prison should be a correctional facility.
Starting point is 01:22:38 But come on, bro. They killed this man for no reason, bro. They need to go to prison in two-day time, bro. Come on with that, man. I'm not saying, I'm not, listen, I'm not saying, I'm not, listen, hold on, wait a minute. I'm not saying that this shouldn't be consequential to their actions. I'm saying that they're 13 and 15 years old. Did you make good choices at 13 and 15?
Starting point is 01:22:58 No, but I knew, I knew better than kill somebody. They didn't go down there trying to kill him. Their intention may not have been to kill someone. Their intention wasn't to kill that man. I can't see putting 13-year-olds with 30-year-olds in prison. Where were the parents? Are the parents going to be
Starting point is 01:23:15 held accountable then because the life took it? You don't want to hear none of that? We don't know the context of their situation, but I do know that a 13- or 15-year-old do deserve some grace. Right? Yes, they have to deal with the consequences of their actions, but I don't think that we should just throw them away. We ain't guessing what race it is.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Listen, I'm an African-American male, and I understand it, bro. I understand the sympathy, and I understand the prison being a correctional facility. But they look like young black girls, and I feel like that's why we're giving them a little bit more sympathy than any other killer out there. I don't know what color they are. I'm 13 years old, and I know at 13 I did a lot of stupid-ish, and I know at 13 my kids did stupid-ish. Now, in anything that you do, it could be there's consequences,
Starting point is 01:23:58 and things could have happened. I talk about it all the time with me throwing that rock. Like, I didn't think I could have killed somebody. My intention was not to kill somebody, but let's say that that happened i i made a stupid decision you would still have to deal with the consequences of your actions but your life shouldn't be thrown completely away at 13 15 years old no i'm so sad though that this happened that somebody's life was taken from them and by the way if these prisons were actual correctional facilities and and we could actually send
Starting point is 01:24:26 them somewhere where they could get rehabilitated, I'd be cool. I wouldn't care how much time they got. Yeah, I just don't think you can mix these little teenage girls with adults. Yeah, because we know that these prisons aren't real correctional facilities. So it's like you're going to send them in there at 13 and 15 and they're going to come
Starting point is 01:24:42 out more angry than before or whatever they're dealing with right now. They need some help. That's what they need. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. All right. Well, let's switch gears for a second. Y'all ready for a white boy summer. We'll tell you who thinks this is how it needs to go down. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

If I work with somebody, it's because, like, I knew them when I was, like, I was a fan of them before music, and I just got to see what it's like. Ed Sheeran.

So you up on Rod Wave yet, man? Yeah, man, stop playing. No, I'm not playing. All right, well, Charlamagne did tell us he's been having sleepovers at Ed Sheeran's house.

Starting point is 01:32:04 I'll love you forever for that one. First of all, I never had a sleepover at Ed's house. You did. You didn't sleep over at Sharon's house? I did, once. So that's a sleepover? For a few nights. It wasn't a sleepover. Did you enter through the front or back door? Well, he's got an estate. He's got a whole compound. So, I don't know. So, you slept over?
Starting point is 01:32:20 Anyway, Ed is a music junkie. That's the definition of a sleepover. You slept on his sheets. It was for business. What the hell? That's my guy, though. Ed is a music junkie. That's the definition of a sleepover. You slept on his sheets. It was for business. What the hell? That's my guy, though. Ed is a music junkie. It was business. And he loves hip-hop, so he was already up on Rod Wave.
Starting point is 01:32:31 He actually loves Rod Wave. He had some really nice things to say about Rod Wave and his music. He actually said that Rod's music will be international because it translates everywhere. And if I think I saw this weekend, Rob's going to have the number one album in the country this week. Yeah. Nice. That's good slumber party talk.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Absolutely. We did have fun when we stayed over. Hey! You got a pillow fight? Drop on the goosebumps for my guy Ed Sheeran. All right. Matching pajamas and everything. I know, right?
Starting point is 01:33:01 It was for business. I'm sure you gave him the business. You can go watch the interview me and Ed Sheeran did like two years ago. Maybe three. I don't remember how long was for business. I'm sure you gave him the business. You can go watch the interview me and Ed Sheeran did like two years ago. Maybe three. I don't remember how long ago that was. That didn't embed?
Starting point is 01:33:10 Oh, shut up. You have red hair and you're mixing with your beard. That's my, he is my second favorite ginger. My first is G-Spin. All right, Sharon Osbourne.
Starting point is 01:33:21 G-Spin. We don't know that. It's out. Sharon Osbourne is out at thein. We don't know that. Sharon Osbourne is out at the talk. They have parted ways. They made this announcement on Friday after this controversy between Sharon Osbourne and things just went left after that
Starting point is 01:33:36 as she was trying to support Piers Morgan. So that's it. That ain't it. Sharon gonna sue the hell out of CBS and she gonna walk away with a big ass bag. Mark my words. Because they're not gonna be able to justify it. That ain't it. Sharon gonna sue the hell out of CBS and she gonna walk away with a big ass bag. Mark my words. Cause they're not gonna be able to justify
Starting point is 01:33:49 you know did she walk away or did they let her go? Like which one was it? Listen they've parted ways. I guarantee you she gonna sue CBS
Starting point is 01:33:58 and walk away with a bag. They gonna have to give her some type of big ass severance package. Watch. Alright now get ready for a white boy summer. Chet Hanks is saying that's what he wants.
Starting point is 01:34:12 Listen to this. Look, I just wanted to tap in really quick. I just got this feeling, man, that this summer is about to be a white boy summer. What? You know, take it how you want. I'm not talking about like like, Trump, you know, NASCAR type white. I'm talking about,
Starting point is 01:34:27 you know, me, John B., Jack Harlow type white boy summer. You know what I mean? Let me know if you guys can vibe with that.
Starting point is 01:34:36 Well, every season is a white boy season. Okay? And, I mean, they are the dominant cast here in America. It is what it is. But I guess Chet is saying
Starting point is 01:34:42 other races are going to want them a white boy this summer? Like, you know, other races of women are going to go after white guys this summer? Is that what he's saying? Maybe he's just having a fun white boy summer with his white boy friends. What's John B. doing, though? That was a very old reference.
Starting point is 01:34:57 I got it. I understood it, Chet. I wouldn't expect a young man like you to use such an old reference. But it was such balance, because he said John B. and he said Jack Harlow. Therefore, I know exactly what kind of white boy Chet Hanks is talking about.
Starting point is 01:35:08 He's not talking about like, you know, white boys, white boys. He's talking about people who happen to be white. There's a difference. Ed Sheeran. Not Yahoo!
Starting point is 01:35:15 Yes, but Ed Sheeran would fall into that category. Okay, okay. Yeah. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports. All right. Thank you, Missy.
Starting point is 01:35:24 And shout out to the whole BET and Facebook staff for allowing me and the wife to do that. We had a lot of fun. Shout out to Rhonda. Shout out to Connie Orlando and everybody over there at BET. Salute the gear, too, because she asked you a question about, you know, are you beige light skin or some other type of light skin?

Starting point is 01:37:16 We are The Breakfast Club. Now it's Women's History Month. Who are we repping today, Yeezy? Well, today we are repping for Tracy Oliver. It was just announced that she inked an eight-figure overall deal at Apple. She also wrote the movies Girls Trip and Little. And what makes her so legendary is she co-wrote Girls Trip with Kenya Barris. And she is the first black woman to write a movie that grossed more than $100 million.
Starting point is 01:37:39 She also developed and executive produced the remake of First Wives Club for BET+, which is currently in production on its second season, and she has a comedy series at Amazon that she's executive producing. Now that Tracy Oliver has this eight-figure overall deal at Apple, she'll be developing both TV and feature film projects for them with an emphasis on diverse and meaningful stories. Here is Tracy Oliver in conversation with Grace Byers and Megan Good at Paley Front Road 2020.
Starting point is 01:38:09 It's Women's History Month and we're celebrating the most influential women in history. Check out this phenomenal woman. So I knew I wanted to do something career wise that had something to do with the arts, but it never really occurred to me that I would be a screenwriter. And I took this class called Actors Who Write, Writers Who Act. And in that class, I wrote something for the first time for another actor. And it was so, I guess, inspiring for me and refreshing to see that person deliver my words that I thought to myself, maybe there's something here with writing.
Starting point is 01:38:45 So that was the first time that I started to write that by the time I graduated from college, I was kind of almost totally behind the scenes. I was directing and writing for women of color. Honestly, those are the people that I was most inspired by because I was writing stuff that I wanted to originally act in myself. And then it became an inspiration for me to write for women that needed my voice or women that needed opportunities that other people weren't writing for them. And so I became that person in school that was writing for the women that weren't given an opportunity to act a lot.
Starting point is 01:39:30 And that was another phenomenal woman in history. All right. Well, congratulations to Tracy Oliver. We celebrate you and salute to you this morning for Women's History Month. All right. Yes. Congratulations. Now, when we come back, we got the positive notice, the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee back, we got the positive note. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

Starting point is 01:39:51 Charlamagne, you got a positive note? I do, man. I said this during Donkia today, but I want to reiterate. It's a good way to start the work week off, man. It's a good quote to put in your brain from John C. Maxwell. Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. Always remember that. When you make a choice, you also choose the consequence.
