He's crazy. Donald Trump was like, he died crying or whimpering. I'm like, what? Why do we care, though? I mean, I don't know him. I've not even heard of this dude until yesterday, but if he was such a bad guy, it's like, why do you care? You just can't say he died? I don't dislike Trump that much.

If this guy was a threat to our country like that, and, you know, he was supposed to get it, then he got it. I'm not going to sit here and be mad about how Donald Trump describes how he died. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Next game is tomorrow, 8 p.m. Hey, salute to Houston, man. I'm not mad at Houston. Houston syndicates us. Washington doesn't, so I don't give a damn about Washington. What else we got, Yee? All right. Well, Donald Trump has some words about the founder and head of the Islamic State of Iraq, Assyria,

who died in a, quote, daring and dangerous raid by U.S. commandos. He said Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed. Well, he actually committed suicide, but here's what he had to say. Last night, the United States brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead. Capturing or killing Baghdadi has been the top national security priority of my administration. U.S. special operations forces executed a dangerous and daring nighttime raid in northwestern Syria and accomplished their mission in grand style. Now, according to reports, Baghdadi was fleeing.

He went to a dead end tunnel. He brought three of his children with him as K-9 units pursued him. They said he then detonated a suicide vest and killed himself and the children. Here's what Donald Trump had to say. He died after running into a dead end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way. The compound had been cleared by this time. The only ones remaining were

Baghdadi and the tunnel, and he had dragged three of his young children with him. They were led to certain death. I never even heard of Baghdadi. What's his name? Al-Baghdadi. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. Never heard of him Daddy. What's his name? Al Bagdaddy. Abu Bakr Al Bagdaddy. Never heard of him until yesterday. Well, they did confirm his identity

through DNA testing on the scene. They said his body was under rubble and badly mutilated. Alright, and a rest in peace to John Conyers Jr. He was the longest serving African American congressman. He was 90 years old. They said he did die in his sleep on Sunday

and he was one of the people that helped spearhead an initiative to make Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday. Also in 1971, he helped found the Congressional Black Caucus. He pushed for the impeachment of Richard Nixon over Watergate. He said that his ousting was necessary to restore to our government the proper

balance of constitutional power and to serve notice on all future presidents. So he's a congressman in Michigan. So rest in peace to John Conyers Jr. And if I'm not mistaken, he was the person who first introduced the bill, the H.R. 40, the reparations bill. He did that in like 89, and every year he tries to get that bill through. Right, it didn't go very far when he first introduced this,

but he was definitely one of the first people to start discussing reparations and exploring that. Yeah, he was the first one. That was back in like 89. He was the first person to introduce that bill, the HR 40 bill. All right.

It was the commission to study reparations. Our last front page news. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.

I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country?

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

It sounded like you was about to go a little bit out of breath this morning. No, no. What happened was Envy pointed at something, and it distracted me. I didn't know what the hell he was pointing at. I thought he was trying to tell me something in the midst of my yo's. Okay. Yes. Thank you, Mama.

Make sure you finish it off with the long yo, because that's the best part. Yes, ma'am. All right, you guys have a good day. Love you guys. Love you back. I might have to start selling those for Christmas. Yo, yo, yo. Make my own little Santa Claus.

Instead of ho, ho, ho, he said yo, yo, yo. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hello, this is Kiida. Get it off your ho, ho. He said, yo, yo, yo. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Kiida. Get it off your chest, mama. I need to vent about Angela Yee canceling her show in Charlotte. It's rescheduled. That wasn't really because of me. We couldn't get

out. They said the weather was nasty. Flights with the ladies. Well, here. I was there. No, here in New York. No, in New York. She had to come from New York, mama. Okay. I'm sorry, but we are going to reschedule it. I am really, really sorry. I promise you.

Like, we're actually working with the artists who are on the show to make sure the date works for everybody. But I will, you know, we'll make sure we do something really special. But I do apologize. All right. Thanks for your apology. Y'all have a good morning. You too.

Thank you. I'm sorry. I felt bad. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. Peace and blessings, y'all. How y'all feeling today? Hey, what felt bad. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. Peace and blessings, y'all. How y'all feeling today? Hey, what's up, brother?

How's everything? Yeah, Envione, remember my name today? I was going to say Porta Potty guy. Sean Stone. And I didn't want to say Sean. I was like, you know what? Let me just say what's up, brother. Good morning, Sean Stone.

Hey, good morning, guys. How y'all feeling, man? What's happening? Blessed. What's going on, brother? I'm blessed, man. I can't complain. Envy, I see you was in Paris, man. How y'all feeling, man? What's happening? I'm blessed. What's going on, brother? I'm blessed, man. I can't complain. Envy, I see you was in Paris, man.

Yeah, I was in. You got baby number six, yeah? I don't know. I put in the work, but you never know. Yeah, I hear that. But I would like to invite y'all to my church, though, man. All three of y'all, man. What's going on at your church?

Well, you know, Charlamagne, you say you were down to learn some new information about the female image of God that's specified in the Bible. Well, my church is located in Ridgewood, New Jersey, so I know you guys live up in that area. You know what I mean? You and Envy. And not me. You guys, man, even Angela. Angela, my church is also in Manhattan, so it'd probably be easier for you to come to Manhattan.

Yeah, Manhattan's easier for me, for sure. Hey, by the way, Sean, I do believe into the, I believe in the divine masculine and the divine feminine. I definitely believe in the divine feminine that exists within us all. It exists, because look at Envy and his wife, right? They have children. It's the

same thing in the spiritual world. You know what I mean? There's God the Father, and then we're the spiritual children, and then we need a heavenly mother that gives us spiritual birth. You know what I mean? There's God the Father, and then we're the spiritual children, and then we need a Heavenly Mother that gives us spiritual birth. You know what I mean? I mean, it just would— These churches don't speak about this. It would just make sense because when you look at all living things,

you should see God, right? Like, God creates everything. So I don't think there's no patriarchy when it comes to God. Well, you know what I mean? In the Bible, Jesus Christ did say when we pray to God, we should call him Father. So he gave us a masculine image of God, you know what I mean? But there's also a female image. I think it's, yeah, I believe in the sacred masculine.

I believe in the sacred masculine and the divine feminine. I definitely do. Well, thank you, brother, for checking in. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

You're not Michael Jordan. You're not Michael Jackson. No, I'm Mary Jane. Mary Jane. Okay, Mary Jane. Not obliged. But I was calling in because I'm so sick of these grown men crying and complaining about constructive criticism that Charlamagne gives. I be listening to the radio all the time,

and it's like, if you can't handle constructive criticism, don't call in or don't give your opinion because it's clear that Charlamagne ain't going to shut up for nobody. That is true. Y'all know this, so why y'all get mad that he ain't gonna set up? This a grown man. Y'all can't get mad that this man won't set up. That is true.

I'm just so sick of hearing these five baby kitty cat men like y'all some kitties. Well, thank you, MJ. What's wrong with kitty cats? Thank you. Y'all have a great one. Hey, Ansela Yee.

Stop. This is my hair. I'm just letting it grow. Just say you started your Halloween costume early and you're going as LeBron this year. I did. And I just, I'm letting it grow. I never let it grow before because I kept it low. I decided to let it grow.

The real thing is, when I went to my barber, my barber was like, yo, some other barbers have been messing your hair up. Let it grow so I can start lining it back up the right way. Let it grow. So let it grow. I mean, technically, it is your hair. If you bought it, it's yours. Oh, my goodness.

I saw the material in Johnny's drawer, bro. That's not it. Drop on a clothesline for Johnny, bro. That's not it. Because people are going to think it's a hair plug or a rug. I saw the material in his drawer, and it was in a bag, and it said Envy on it. All right? I'm not messing with you, man.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Dave Chappelle. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, congratulations to Dave Chappelle. He's getting a comedy

award and that is the Mark Twain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Comedy and that is happening at theain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Comedy and that is happening at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. The ceremony will be broadcast January 7th on PBS. Usually, Twain recipients get honored by a series of testimonials,

musical performances, and a surprise guest or two. This year, they've announced the guest list includes Trevor Noah, John Stewart, Tiffany Haddish, John Legend, Q-Tip, Bradley Cooper, and Morgan Freeman. So the Mark Twain Award isn't regulated to just comedians, right? Because I was trying to figure out... That one's for comedy.

Okay, because I was trying to figure out what's the correlation between Mark Twain and comics. I didn't know Mark Twain was funny. All right, and Flava Flav, he is the father of a two-month-old baby. We told you about a woman who was working for him and she was saying that she was pregnant by him. Turns out that yes, that is his baby. So he does have a two-month-old. He's 60 years old. Drop on the clues, bonds with Flavor Flavor.

I too hope my penis works at 58 years old. Alright, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez just donated a year's worth of food to students at this school at Jacksboro Elementary School. They donated food there in Tennessee. This all happened because on October 2nd,

a teacher at that school, Brooke Goins, wrote on Facebook, Today I cried at work, not because I hate my job or that it's just too hard. It really is. Today I cried for a child who so innocently talked about food

and the lack of it. He asked when the lady that puts food in his backpack was coming. He told me he was out of it at home and needed more. Of course, I asked what was in that bag that he liked so much. I asked if it was the SpaghettiOs. He laughed and told me, no, they didn't have those. Then it happened.

He looked at me and said, those little O's. We don't have those at my house, but when I do have them, they give me a warm belly and help me sleep. She said, I lost it. I cried in front of 20 little people. No kid should be hungry ever. So Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez was moved by this. And she said, when we heard about the students and amazing teachers at Jacksboro Elementary in Tennessee,

we knew we had to help. We heard teachers were helping students bring home food when they didn't have enough. When we saw this story, it brought tears, not just to my eyes, but Alex's as well. So a beautiful thing. That's why they decided to donate. Salute to J-Lo and A-Rod for that. That food. They're actually part owners in a company called Tiller and Hatch.

So they donated a year's worth of their yummy, healthy meals for the students and for the school's food pantry. All right. Now let's talk about Chance the Rapper. He was on Saturday Night Live over the weekend. And he had a great time because he was actually one of the main people in the sketches on the show. Now, one of his sketches was him talking about Chicago being the second best city. So he talks about second best. Now, I love Chicago, the city that bothered me called the second city.

But that doesn't bother me. I got to tell you, I think it's the reverse. Because sometimes the second best is better than the first. Sometimes the second best is better than the first. Sometimes the second best is better than the first. Like, I don't like Google. I use Bing. I like french fries from Burger King. When it comes to Harry Potter, people give me grief

because I prefer Percy Jackson Lightning Thief. He's a damn fool. Bing is not better than Google, and Burger King french fries are not better than McDonald's french fries. Well, that's why he said it's the second best song. He's talking about the second best. Yeah, but he said second best is better than the first. That's just simply not true.

I think it's a joke. Oh, I hope so. In addition to that. You can't just be spreading that kind of false information, Chance. What the hell is wrong with you? In addition, he also played Judge Barry, and that was really entertaining because he was dressed up as a judge. They did a great job making him look like that. And this whole judge did first impressions, so he would come to a verdict within 10 seconds plaintiff judith baker

says she is owed 325 dollars after the defendant her ex-boyfriend 29 year old la denzel james hold on your name is la denzel are you definitely guilty thank you your honor what but you but you ain't even hear my story. Whatever it is, you did it, man. Look at how you came to court. Look, your highness, me and this woman ain't never even dated. Yes, we did. We have a son together.

That is a lie. You can't get pregnant on the first time. Everybody know that. Guilty. Just fatal, lady. So he goes through a whole lot of different cases, and they all take 10 seconds. I'm still insulted that Chance would say anything for the sake of a record. Burger King fries, never in the history of life have been better than McDonald's fries.

People will sit in that drive-thru when them fries ain't cold at McDonald's when they say, okay, there'll be a few minutes for hot fries. You can be running late. And you're going to wait for them hot fries. Wife can be in labor. You'll get there. You're going to wait for them hot fries, goddammit, from McDonald's. And The Office, even though it ended like six years ago, it's the most labor. You'll get there. All right? You can wait for them hot fries, God damn it, from McDonald's. All right, and The Office,

even though it ended like six years ago, it's the most streamed show on Netflix still, and it's one of my favorite shows ever. And Steve Carell, who was the star of The Office, said he never really watches it. He was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and here's what he said.

Do you ever watch yourself? No. Never? Mm-mm. No. No. Did you when it was on? No.

Why? We did. It's a pretty good show. show well sometimes the cast would get together yeah we'd watch it together and that was really fun yeah and uh but no i tend not to do that i don't know ever do you like watch your movies or anything like that no you've never watched one of your movies oh if i had been in shawshank redemption i would watch that yes okay imagine that you do all that great work and then you don't even watch it well he was Oh, if I had been in Shawshank Redemption, I would watch that. Yes, I can imagine that. You do all that great work and then you don't even watch it. Well, he was actually promoting his Apple TV series, The Morning Show, that's coming out.

All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news. Next, what are we talking about? Yes, let's talk about these black jack-o'-lanterns that got pulled because of blackface complaints. Oh, my God. All right. We'll get into that next. Oh, my God.

Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Oh, my goodness. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. I'm just talking to our camera guy about his dog, and he gets a box every month as a gift for his dog. It's called the Bark Box.

The Bark Box. And he says his dog goes, ha ha ha. Every time the dog... I'm sorry, I just thought that was funny. Word on the street is our camera guy actually gets his dog's box too, but that's allegedly, so I'm not gonna just... I'm not gonna say those things. He said it's a male dog. Okay, it's a little boy box. He said it was gay, so what?

Let's get into some front page news. NFL. Rams beat the Bengals. Saints beat the Cardinals. Colts beat the Broncos. Seahawks beat the Falcons. Eagles beat the Bengals. Saints beat the Cardinals. Colts beat the Broncos. Seahawks beat the Falcons. Eagles beat the Bills. Chargers beat the Bears.

Jaguars beat the Jets. 49ers beat the Panthers. Patriots beat the Browns. Texas beat the Raiders. Packers beat the Chiefs. Come on. You're missing the score. Come on.

What up, though? Yeah, sleuthing people in Detroit. Who did the Lions beat yesterday? I don't know. I don't even know the Lions played. Come on, man. Stop playing. Don't Yeah, sleuthing people in Detroit. Who did the Lions beat yesterday? I don't know. I don't even know if the Lions played. Come on, man. Stop playing. Don't do that to Detroit.

All right. They beat the Giants 31-26. Drop on the clues bombs for the Lions beating the Giants 31-26. What's the Giants' record now? I don't know. Like 1-12? I don't know. I'm not, you know, I'm following my son's team who's undefeated right now, so shout

out to them. Well, salute to everybody in Detroit who listens to us on 97.9 WJLB, damn it. What else are you talking about, Yigit? Thank you for being with me on New York yesterday. Well, salute to everybody in Detroit who listens to us on 97.9 WJLB, damn it. What else are you talking about? Thank you for being a New York guest today. Well, let's talk about Bed, Bath & Beyond. They have pulled all of the black jack-o'-lanterns over complaints that it looks like blackface. Can we see a picture of it?

I'm just curious how it looks. So if you have, let's see if Revolt has it. Yes, they do. Yeah, yeah. So the jack-o'-lanterns are black and they have white paint for the nose, the mouth, the eyes. And within 48 hours, the law firm that had put them outside got enough complaints about the pumpkins that they took down their display.

When you say it, it doesn't make sense. The only reason I'm insulted is because we have an orange president. So I feel like they don't want the pumpkins to look like Donald Trump. So they purposely came out with black pumpkins. Yeah. That's what I think. Look a little crazy. I ain't go for it.

I don't think it's worth it, though. Not enough to pull them off. Since we're talking about Halloween, let's talk about this haunted house, right? If you go to this haunted tour in Tennessee, you have to sign a 40-page waiver. So that experience, if you go there, it lasts up to 10 hours. You have to clear a background check pass the doctor's physical and mental exams sign that waiver it's called the mckamey manor experience and it goes from summertime tennessee to huntsville alabama what do you got to do

contestants have to be at least 21 if you're 18 you can go with parental permission you have to be insured and you have to pass a drug test. So they've also offered $20,000 to anybody who completes the tour, but no one ever has. What do you mean? No one's ever completed this tour. Do they die? What do you mean?

Or do they tap out? No, they don't die. So what do you mean they can't complete it? They just haven't finished it. They have to not quit. He said he records each physically demanding and psychologically disturbing tour on video

and then he posts them online and it shows some of the participants quitting in humiliation. He said he records each physically demanding and psychologically disturbing tour on video, and then he posts them online, and it shows some of the participants quitting in humiliation. I never understand why people pay people to scare them. Like, why do you pay for horror movies? Why would you pay for a haunted house? Why would you sign a waiver? Why would you sign something to go purposely get anxiety? Yeah, but I don't understand.

Why wouldn't you be able to finish? Like, what would make you tap out? People know it's not real. Like, what are they making you do? One person, Chris Smith, who's from Michigan and volunteers also told USA Today that he was first introduced as a contestant. And he didn't make it past signing the waiver because of the things you have to do. You want to know what's in there? Yes, please. He said, I read it and I quit.

He said, I got to the last page and turned around and went home. You have to pull out your own teeth. There's a chance of getting a tattoo, a chance of your fingernails getting pulled out. It's really overwhelming. There's a chance of death. Accidents do happen. It is real. I don't know what you mean when you say people know it's not real.

Oh, okay. I thought it was just scary, like boo, ha, ah, scared, ah. You get buried alive in a wooden coffin. Who would go on something where they'd be like, you got to pull out your own teeth? And then there's a round of hypnosis. He said that gave him a complete panic attack. And even if it wasn't real, you still do it. Your hair's not real, but you still brush it, right?

This is my hair. This is my real hair. I'm going to have you pull it again. This is my hair. This is not a hair plug. This is not the LeBron James. This is too real. Did you see LeBron's toupee get crooked the other day,

and he had to fix it? And he had to fix it. You know that's going to happen to you. That's not mine. It's the hair. Look. It's hair. Look. Stop. T fix it? And he had to fix it. You know that's going to happen to you. That's not mine. It's the hair. Look. It's hair. Look.

Stop. I want you to tell them. Pull it. Pull it. Pull it. Nobody believes you. It's my real hair. It does look like a hair transplant, so it does.

Nobody believes you. If it was a transplant, it would be in the back. You see the line in the back. You're 42 years old. Where's the line in the back? We've been working together nine years. Do you have hair on your arms? Yes.

Or not anymore? You look as stupid as me if I was to come in here with that. You can't grow hair. I can't. I can't grow hair. No, you can't. Yes, I can. It's just that my hairline's in the middle of my forehead.

Well, that's not my fault. Okay? I look like Robocop without his mask on. That's the difference between me and you. All right. I'm going to let my curls grow. Well, that is your front piece. Curls.

Curls. I have curls. I don't know if you still have curls. He's taking the Dominican thing way too far, bro. You should dye your hair. My God. Watch. Since the Yankees are out, you want to be the only Dominican in New York winning, huh?

You see. All right. I'm going to let it grow. I'm going to keep letting it grow. The more y'all talk, I was going to cut it. But I'm like, I'm not going to make them force me to cut my hair. Why would you go through all that and then cut it? I told you.

I just did it. My barber said he just wanted to let my hair grow so he could line me up right. My nigga. Nobody will leave. Before you told me that, your son made a bet with you. And then my son was My barber said he just wanted to let my hair grow so he could line me up right. My nigga. Nobody will leave. Before you told me that, your son made a bet with you. And then my son was like, God, your hair can't grow. I said, yes, it can. Those are the two reasons why.

Oh, so, okay, because last time you said I had a bet with Logan. Yes. And he said I couldn't grow hair. Now you're saying. If you want to wear a toupee, it's fine. It's not a toupee. It's okay, bro. You know what?

It's okay to wear a toupee. So there's two reasons now Yes This is the first time I heard this about the barber It started cause my barber Needed to line it up right That's not what you said

You said it started cause of Logan No then my son was like Oh your hair can grow I'm like yeah it can grow And I said I bet you it can grow And it's been letting it grow Next week it'll be something else

Next week it's You know I gave my life to God Ever since I heard Kanye's album So I'm just trying to Let my hair grow out You know what Forget y'all You gotta stop bro I heard Kanye's album. So I'm just trying to let my hair grow out. You know what? Forget y'all. You gotta stop, bro.

When we come back, man, Amanda Seals will be joining us. We'll kick it with Amanda Seals. She has a new book out. She's been in the news the last couple of weeks about a lot of stuff. So we're going to talk about all that when we come back. All right? So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Powerhouse 2019, New York City was crazy. Everybody killed it. Megan Thee Stallion set it off.

She opened up the show. It was a lot of people there when she opened. I thought it was going to be empty, but she actually killed it and brought a lot of people out. Polo G, he killed it. Lil Baby, DaBaby, Davido, and then Meek Mill. Now, Meek killed the stage. The funny thing about Meek's performances, though, right before he was about to get on, his DJ announces him to come on out,

and they can't find him. They got to run backstage to his dressing room, and they found Meek playing Call of Duty in his dressing room. I don't see nothing wrong with that. You've got a show to do. Yeah, but that's why you've got people to come get you. Somebody should have had him on point, and the handlers at Powerhouse should have been like, look, Meek has 10, 15 minutes.

They should have had Meek in position. Well, he was so caught up in that new Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare, that he actually almost didn't even make it to the stage. Yeah, but they did get him up. I don't know if he won. I wonder if he won that game, because sometimes you're playing and you just got to win, and you're at a good level, and you just don't want to lose. My son

does it to me all the time, like, yo, we got to go. Dad, can I finish this? Give me 60 more seconds. No! We got to go, and that might have happened with Meek. People actually win those games? Yes. Oh, I didn't know. I just thought they play, play, play, play, play. I didn't know it was ending. No, I mean, you kill the last person, you win that game. Oh, alright. That's how it works. Well, Meek finally got on stage.

If you want to see the full video, you can check it out on the Breakfast Club IG page, all right? Now, have you heard about Modern Warfare? Of course you have. It's a phenomenon. Everyone is loving it. The game has taken Call of Duty to a new level. Using some of the latest technologies and visual engineering, Modern Warfare's graphics are intense. The gameplay is unbelievable.

My son loves it. It's already been awarded Best Online Multiplayer by Game Critics Best of E3 2019. Again, if you want to see the Meek Mill backstage, him playing Call of Duty, we having to get his ass to the stage, you can just look at our Breakfast Club IG page. We've been on a tragedy for months. Why can't you agree with me for once? Just look at our Breakfast Club IG page. One time. I don't care who you dating, long as you can, you trust me. I'm trying to heal your problems so I can lighten the load.

No, you're not fighting alone because I'm protecting you from it. Chill. Life hard and ex-lovers is like scars because it stopped hurting but never forgetting what it was. I wasn't young and my biggest enemy was the club with voicemails on third rings. We've been on the track, so I don't trust. Why can't you agree with me for once? I'm trying to slow up. Maybe we can be on chill tonight.

Maybe I can give you a chance. We've been on a tragedy for once. Why can't you agree with me for once? Maybe we can be on chill tonight. Maybe I can give you a chance. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. You might have heard her name in the last couple of months and weeks all over the news. No, we're not starting there. We're not doing that. She has a new book. I'm starting off because of her book. I'm trying to start with the book.

I'm trying to start with the book. Her name is out there because of the book. Okay, just making sure. Small Doses, which is out right now. Yes. Amanda Seals. Good morning. You know they're already like, ah, she back on the show again.

They always got her up there because I'm always doing shit. You're always doing something. Exactly. Ba-bam-bam. Well, Amanda has a new book out right now called Small Doses. That's right. Now, I know the title of your podcast is Small Doses. Let me just say something.

Yes. I don't want this to be an easy interview. Oh, you think this is going to be easy? I'm just telling you, I don't want it to be. Okay. Has it been easy? Well, because you love me. Yes.

So I think sometimes people are like, oh, they go easy on her because they family or whatever. No. No. I got on a onesie. I'm ready for war. You got a onesie? That's your fight now? You got a onesie? You know, all I need is my Hattori Hanzo sword.

All right. However, you know, I think that there are things that may need to be addressed. Gotcha. And I'm ready to address whatever. So we'll get to that. But first, Small Doses. My book is so exciting. Why do you name it Small Doses?

Why the podcast named it Small Doses? Why the book? Because it don't seem like you do anything small. Well, because I'm a truth teller and the truth hurts. And so a lot of times we need it in small doses. Gotcha. And so, you know, I try try to throughout the book

give it to you in different sizes so there's essays, there's stories, there's blurbs, there's lists, there's poems but at the end of the day it's basically a life guide for anybody who's socially conscious and aware and trying to get there. If they ain't there already

trying to get there and I do that through humor and through common sense. Every time you come up here you always talk about people that don't like you or they always say it has something negative to say. Why do you think that is? I think some people don't like me for the reasons that they don't like themselves. I think some

people don't like me because of how I've approached certain situations with them personally. I think some people don't like me because of information or you know gossip that they've heard from other sources. I think some people don't like me because of information or, you know, gossip that they've heard from other sources. I think some people don't like me because I'm very light-skinned and they feel I have no place to speak about the black woman experience or about the black experience or to the black experience.

I think some people don't like me because I'm a woman with a very strong point of view and an opinion. And what they consider to be someone being stubborn is really someone who's just sure of herself I think some people don't like me because I may reflect something that they desire that they have yet to like make happen I think that there's a number of reasons that people don't like me and what's crazy is that it was a really long like when I like what I've experienced recently with this internet shit like it could take you out like if I was somebody with a different set of people around me or if maybe my chemical mind was different like my the the way that my chemical

balance in my brain was different like I may not have made it out of that social media is bad for your mental health it'll definitely drive you to that brink at times. 1,000%. And because it's like, it f***s with your perception of reality. Yes. You know, and like,

it can be really trippy when an entire swarm of energy, you know when you're at church and they be like, okay, let's all pray for Sister Seals, you know,

and send our energy towards her. You know, because what that really is is like, let's all pray for for sister seals you know and send our energy towards her you know what that what that really is is like let's all as a group send energy in a direction towards somebody for healing right because there's a powerful there's a power and energy so when they when you go viral in the wrong way on these internets it's like the adverse of that. It's literally like, let's all send toxicity towards this person in the same direction. And it's very, very easy for people to say things like, why do you care? Or for people to say things like, I mean, you famous, what'd you expect? And it's like, well, one, I'm not a sociopath.

You feel. I feel. You're probably an empath because you're a cancer. I am a true empath. So even if I want to, like, protect myself from those things, I still have a consciousness and a self-awareness about, like, well, let me make sure that I'm not doing the things that these people are saying. Like, let me do a self-check. But it gets so overwhelming, and people take so much joy in pulling that trigger,

it's like it becomes frightening to you that like, why would people want you to hurt so bad? Well, a lot of that is because of what you said earlier. It's because of what you're doing. You know what I'm saying? You got HBO stand-up specials and you on... But I don't think that way. You're small, funny, and black and selling out and you got books.

I don't think that way and that's so frightening to me that we think that way, that like someone's doing too much. That's always been the issue with Amanda. She's just too much. But do you think people don't understand your grind? Never seen your grind? Don't understand what you've been through? One thousand percent.

You know, I have worked my ass off. So I don't know. And I think that for people to say they don't understand my grind, it's like, well, it's out there. You know, like if anything, it's documented. I've been at this for a long time. But I think a lot of that stuff I can shake off, but when it's coming out all at once, you have to somehow figure out how to compartmentalize it,

and it can feel indomitable. It really can feel like you just can't get past it. And I was low. I almost let these motherfuckers make me forget who I am. Because we live in an era where I'm really frightened in general for the fact that I think

a lot of, especially within the black community, I think a lot of us can't tell the difference between our villains and our warriors. There's just a wild obsession with creating conflict versus quelling it. Yes. And it's like I had such an awakening in these past two weeks

because I couldn't believe how people took something that was so basic to me, which is like don't put each other in wild situations for no reason other than our own personal reasons. Like we got to think bigger. We got reasons. Like, we got to think bigger. We got to think brighter. We got to think broader. And it turned into, like, fuck her. She's a bitch.

And it's like, where y'all even getting this from? Like, I'm a bitch because I say something that makes you uncomfortable. Like, I didn't eat a baby. I didn't fuck your man. I didn't shit on your mother. Like, I don't, I don't. This is really eating babies? I'm just saying.

I've been hearing that term so much. Because that's like... But I'm just like, I don't know. I don't know how being unabashedly smart has become such a villainous thing. I don't know how being unabashedly on point with how I want my brand, how I want my point with how I want my, my, my brand, how I want my work, how I want my quality control to be, how I want my space and my, the men in my life to

behave around me, how I want my friends. I don't know when that became like, you know, like anybody who has something to say about me, I'm like, if you was in the situation I was in when, when this person was, how they're talking, you would have done the same thing that I said. You would have probably said the same to that person that I said. And I just think that it, I'm getting emotional. But the point of the matter is this. A lot of people misnomer anger. And a lot of people misnomer passionate anger.

And I have a shirt, like I have a whole thing that says like, I'm not hostile, I'm just passionate. And I think so many black women, we identify with this, but then we'll point the finger at each other. And that hurts me. And I think so many black men, like, are misnomered as thugs, you know, for being able to express themselves or, you know, being able to, you're so articulate, you know, and it's like, oh, my God.

And it's like when we see that in other women, sometimes it's like we're not supposed to do that. All right, we got more with Amanda Seals when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Amanda Seals. Charlamagne? Have you ever looked at, you know, this narrative about Amanda Seals has been around for a long time. Amanda Seals got a bad attitude. Yeah. Amanda Seals is difficult to work with. Amanda Seals is just a terrible person.

Have you ever stepped back and said, okay, what did I do in this situation that made people feel that way? I do that all the time. I think if we look at like the 100% of that, there's probably about 5% of those situations where like, yeah, I owe you an apology. I think for the rest of the folks, and this is not conceded cockiness. This is somebody who has really sat here and looked at this. I think really, one, people do not like to be corrected, even if they're working for you.

Even if they're working for you and they're doing things, they don't like to be corrected. They don't like to be corrected by women. That's a fact. And there's a thing where if you're the talent, people don't want to hear it from you. Even if your manager or your publicist or your agent says the exact same thing as you,

it's like, yeah, but you're not allowed to say it because that's not the rules. And everybody knows I don't play by the rules. The type of person I am to create the art that I do, I would never be a rule follower. The two things don't happen in the same space. In terms of am I am to create the art that I do, I would never be a real follower. Like, the two things don't happen in the same space. So, in terms of, like, am I a terrible person?

That's absolutely ridiculous and absurd. Like, sometimes it's just that the internet will trick you into thinking that the work you're doing isn't good enough. Yeah, it's not. Like, the work is not working. The work is not working. Yeah, like you don't know yourself. Yes. And I said this on Big Boy.

Like, yo, if you're not careful, you will let the people that know the least about you convince you that you don't know you. Absolutely. Goddamn Lula. And that is a mind f***. That is a mind f***. It's a mind f***. Like, it's scary that people could take you there. But this passion and this intensity that allows me to, like, create incredible work, that allows me to write a whole book, you know, that allows me to allows me to continuously put content out and have opinions on things from a fact-based place, etc.

That intensity doesn't just go away when people try to play me. So let's go to the Black Emmy party. In a nutshell, I was invited by somebody who was involved with the party. And so I went to the party with the intention of being a part of this black experience. I was telling people to go there. I was literally at other parties like, y'all, we need to get out of here and go celebrate our blackness. We need to go celebrate our blackness. I literally was saying to myself, like, even if you think something could go left, like, this is bigger than that.

Even though the person, one of the promoters you knew did not like you. I think there's a time and place for things, right? So like if it was a personal party, like a birthday party or something, I absolutely would not put myself in that space. But because I was invited to the party by somebody who was also involved in planning the party, I thought there to be an understanding that this is an open space for open love. So I didn't go there thinking like, OK, let me bob and weave. I went there like, you know, I'm not going to party with that person anyway.

Correct. So I just went there with those intentions. I just met I met some friction at the door and I was confused as to why I was being denied entry. And so were a number of people like, but why? But why? But why? Because I'm not some I'm not somebody who's like on the fringe, like at this point, so were a number of people. But why? Because I'm not somebody who's on the fringe.

At this point, especially within the black entertainment space, I think people have acknowledged I have significant contributions to this space and so why wouldn't I be allowed to enjoy the other folks that have significant contributions and share with them? What about all the people that have seen you outside and were walking in and out? Nobody said, you know what, I'm going to hold my girl

down, what the f*** is going on? Well, that was interesting. That was a painful lesson. There were people, but there were others who didn't. And I will remember that forever because I'm a cancer. But no, there were absolutely individuals. I mean, I got in the party because someone who was involved with the party was like, why are you out here? Come mean, I got in the party because someone who was involved with the party was like, why are you out here?

Come inside. And brought me in the party. So that's when I see, when I see like she snuck in the party. I'm like, so y'all spent like weeks making jokes about some shit that didn't happen. You bum rushed the door. I don't even know how to bum rush. Nah, you know how to bum rush. You lived in New York.

I could bum rush if I had 12 waxes behind me. Okay. I walked up with one person and. You lived in New York. I could bum rush if I had 12 waxes behind me. Okay? I walked up with one person and my homegirl in real estate. That's not a bum rush. Okay? Like, no. If you bum rush and you come in with a squad, you come in like Onyx.

Okay? Like, it's last days out here. No. I didn't bum rush. I literally walked up to the rope and then was let in and then was told, no, you got to get out. So I was let in and then told you got to get out. Where's the person that walked you in at that time? So then somebody came out and walked me in. So we walked in and we, we walked in and I went and stood by the bar.

Cause at this point I'm like, okay, glad that's over. Went and stood by the bar. And that's when a security guard approached me and was like, I'm sorry, miss. We have to ask you to leave. And I was like, ask me to leave? What are we talking about? And he was like, yeah. And I said, find out who wants me to leave.

So he found out who wanted me to leave and he let me know. And then three other security guards approached. And I think that it's real easy to like read a blog story and where people like purposely, you know, leave out details because it's it's juicier or whatever. But and people think like, oh, it's a party. Like, why is she so stressed about a party? I'm stressed because I'm a black woman and four men surrounded me to remove me from somewhere that I belonged. That's why I'm stressed. I'm stressed because I didn't even have a n***a there with me to hold me down in that situation.

I'm stressed because I know that another woman has put me in this situation and that stresses me out for a number of reasons because I'm also stressed out for her because I'm like, damn, what are you dealing with that would cause you so much pain to put me in this so much pain? So I'm there. So many

of us have been in those situations so many times where we're helpless. We don't we don't have any any way to fight. And so you end up just feeling like worthless and humiliated. You see people around you watching you in this situation, people who you would have helped in a second do nothing. what is this? Like, this is what I've worked and grinded, like, my whole s*** to get to, to get to be in these spaces and these safe spaces and enjoy and celebrate. And so to be s*** on like that is a very multi-layered experience. It's a black thing. You're supposed to feel safe around your people.

If you don't feel safe around your people, where do you feel safe? If I'm outside and I see somebody that I f*** with or I work with outside and they're having a problem, we all have a problem. So this is another thing. People make conflict where there isn't. I never at any

point said that my co-stars saw me and decided not to help me. I never said that. They said it was a whole table. They did have a table, but that doesn't mean they saw me. It's a club. The table could be back around the corner. That's why I asked. I couldn't see you outside or Charlamagne or you outside.

You wouldn't. You've literally done that in real life. I stopped the music at a club. Nobody's partying until my people get in. There's a bunch of s*** I've never done that I get taken L's for all the time. I've never said that. I've had people do entire videos about like Amanda Seals thinks she's better

than black Americans because she's from the Caribbean. I have never said anything even remotely resembling that. Also, I'm black American. My father is a n***a from Boston. You know, like the descendant of slaves from Arkansas. What are we f***ing talking about? You'll learn that in small doses.

You're basically tired of being misunderstood. I'm so tired of it because it's because it's willful. It's willful and I'm tired of it. And I'm on here just being honest with you and vulnerable. And I know they're still going to be like, she a crybaby. Y'all because at the end of the day, like everybody is so afraid to be real. And I keep it a buck all the goddamn time. And a lot of the people that y'all love ain't even shown you real. But I need to just say like there's a lot of narratives about me that have been spread this year

and it's been wild because in the same time the beginning of the year you asked me like yo like how excited are you that this is actually happening with your special how happy are you and I cried and when I cried I cried not just because I was relieved that I was finally getting to do this but just because I was relieved that I was finally getting to do this,

but also because I knew that with the fame was about to come a whole bunch of shit that I don't like. It's only going to get worse. It's only going to get worse. New levels, new devils.

It's only going to get worse even now, after this book comes out. Oh, 1,000%. You get the New York Times bestseller, it's only going to get worse. Like, that's going to happen.

I know, but people, but when you're dealing with the transition into that in front of people. Yes, yeah, there's no rule book to it. There's no manual that tells us how to handle this shit. You know, like people, but when you're dealing with the transition into that in front of people. Yes, yeah, there's no rule book to it. There's no manual that tells us how to handle this. You know, like. Especially in this era. I do want to ask one thing. I know

people will watch this and be like, okay, Amanda said, you know, these are the reasons, but what do you think you did to that young lady for her to feel that way towards you? I have no idea. Really? I have no idea. Alright, we got more with Amanda Sears when we come back. don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Amanda Seals. She's here. Charlamagne? So do you have any regrets, Seals?

Like, one of my biggest regrets is I should have hit Chrisette Michelle directly. I shouldn't have hit her in the internet. I shouldn't have acknowledged that on the internet. You know Chrisette? You know her? I know her enough to call her in and not call her out. Got you, got you, got you, got you. So that's a regret I have.

I should have done that. What other regrets does Amanda Seals have? Tell me sometimes Amanda Seals knows she has gotten in her own way. Because that's another thing they say about Amanda Seals. Amanda's always getting in her own way. Yeah, but no one tells you how. Yes. Or what you're doing.

What does that look like? No one can ever tell you how. What does in your own way look like? Even when they say I'm difficult, I'm like, what does that mean? They say she doesn't listen. And I'm like, okay, so I have to listen to everybody all the time in order to be considered not difficult? I guess that's what they're saying. But that's not true.

Because a lot of advice is good advice. And I listen to that. You've both given me good advice and s***y advice. Both of you. Absolutely. And you told us both when we're giving good advice and when we're giving bad advice. And by the way, when I're giving good advice and by the way when I give you good advice

I'll be like yes she listened like you know and you both asked me for advice and I feel like

I've been on the I've been on the nose sometimes you're one of the reasons I started going to therapy thank you because you literally told me a few years ago

you was like black men do not want to acknowledge that they're damaged they don't want to acknowledge their trauma and they don't want to do the work to fix it and I was like They don't want to acknowledge their trauma, and they don't want to do the work to fix it. And I was like, well, I'm going to prove a man to wrong.

That means a lot to me that you even wanted to prove me wrong. I think that black men get mad at me for saying stuff like that because they think it's a challenge. They think it's an accusation, a finger-blaming, pointing-finger thing. And really what it is is a plea. Because it's like we want y'all to be healthy and happy and winning so bad because so many of us want to be with you so bad and in order for that to happen we need you to be healthy and we need you to be clear and we

need you to have self-knowledge and self-love. How can I expect you to love me if you don't love yourself? That's real. Basic. And I just don't... I mean, one of the most hurtful things to me is this narrative that I hate black men. It's so wild. And that it's based on me calling out a brother. That all of a sudden means I hate black men.

It's like, I also love black women and I also love our community and I would much rather us call us out than wait for the others to call us out. We shouldn't have had to wait for R. Kelly to be prosecuted by some other means. We should have just handled that internally, you know? And I think that's something that I really feel strongly about. Like, I think I've gotten in my own way by being more honest than I needed to be in certain situations. Like, being more vocal than I needed to be in certain situations.

It's because of the ease, though. We got the microphones. We got the platforms. Like, we think people want to hear from us. We really do. And, you know, and sometimes it's like, but no. I think that I've gotten in my own way by also having a naive perception of the room

and thinking I'm in a safer space than I really am and just kind of, like, being more open than I should have been. Like, I don't think I'm as strategic as I should be. And I think that's really the crux. When people say she's getting in her own way, it's like Amanda thinks it's sweet and it's not. And that's how I end up getting in my own way a lot of times. It's like I'm not operating, like it's not even chess or checkers.

I'm just like romping through a field of creativity. Last time you was here and you had your man with you. What did he say about it? Was he supportive when all this stuff was going on? He shot the club up. As he should have. As he should have. He was great.

That's the most important thing. Man, that's all he gets. He was like, he's watching this and he's like, oh, s***. He was great. Okay. That's the most important thing. Man, that's all he gets. He was like, he's watching this and he's like, oh, shit. It's my part. He was like,

he was great. Damn, bae. Okay. But you know, I like what you said. The gist of this conversation to me is black people,

we have to find a way to continue to be real with each other, teach each other, empower each other, but not hurt each other just because we disagree with each other. But it's hard, but even when you criticized Life Jennings

and his song, right? He was really upset and he felt like, yo, they're trying to play him, but when he came up, he was like, that's her opinion. That's his opinion. That's people's opinion. He feels like because he's an R&B artist and he has history in the game, he feels like you shouldn't be able to talk about him. That's incorrect.

Because he's an artist and he has so much skin in the game, I think it's fair for us to have a certain level of expectation for his awareness of what his art does and how it can reach people. And this is a song that, if it's about S&M, it was misleading because the references were not S&M references. They were slave references.

That's a fact. And honestly, I told him it's not even about. Mm-hmm. I just, and honestly, I told him, it's not even about the content to me. I just didn't like it. And then I also just feel like he's a better songwriter than that. Yes, it's not a good song.

I think he, you know, and I think that at the end of the day, too, never forget I'm a comedian, and it was funny. Hilarious. I didn't know what it was like when you posted it.

He didn't know what it was like. He was doing things in that song that were funny. Hop like a frog? Shum-ba-ka-. He was doing things in that song that were funny. Like a frog? Shum-ba-ka-ting-ting. That's funny, dog. Like, we're going to act like that's not funny? That's hilarious.

He said it was bars. Bikichi-bikichi-king. Like, donkey-donkey-kong. Like, that's funny, dog. Like, you... I wasn't... He said it was bars. I thought it was hilarious.

I thought Amanda's reaction video was hilarious. I posted Amanda's reaction video. I had no idea whose song that was. But even when I found out, I'm like supposed to. He said it was bars. I thought it was hilarious. I thought Amanda's reaction video was hilarious. I posted Amanda's reaction video. I had no idea whose song that was. But even when I found out, I'm like, damn. I said, let me, I'm like, damn, like, you better than that. But he gets to be, I mean, listen, if you're an artist, you're sensitive about your shit. So I understand why he would be hurt about that. And there's a difference between people being critical of your art and being critical of your character.

You know, because if they're judging your art based on, like, art based on... I didn't judge him as an artist. I judged a song. Right? It's a song. If you don't like my book, you don't like my book. That doesn't mean you have to not like me. Maybe I just didn't hit it for you this go-round. Well, we love you, Amanda. We love you. Can we talk about the book before I go? Yes.

My bad. I just was like... Well, we have been talking about it because at the end of the day, like the book is my hilarious and real and direct version of life advice for anybody that really just wants to level up. Will this clear up misconceptions about Amanda Seals? Everything we've talked about for the past 40 minutes, do you think reading this book will make people have a better understanding

of who Amanda Seals is? If they desire to, yes. If they desire to. Some people are like committed to misunderstanding. Committed to misunderstanding you. But I absolutely feel like anybody can read this book

and get a better idea of my brain and my heart and my soul. And at the same time, and most importantly, a better understanding of their own brain

and their own heart and their own soul and doing it through laughter. It's going to change people's perception of you. I know it is. Books always do. When people actually take the time to read books about people, I'm telling you, I get that all the time. People be like, I really thought you was a piece of shit until I read your books. And then I've been watching the work you've just been doing on yourself.

I believe that because they come in my DMs and say, I really thought Charlemagne was a piece of shit. And then I read his books. I'm like, there's art in here. I believe that because they come in my DMs and say, I really thought Charlamagne was a piece of shit and then I read his books. I'm like, there's art in here. I did all the art in the book. What don't you do? I don't lie. I don't lie. Small doses.

Amanda Seals. Go get it. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. get it. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. So it looks like Kanye's Jesus is King album will be number one. He's going to sell between $2.25 and $2.75 in the first week. He did have a lot of merch bundles, too. I don't know if you guys took a look at the merch that he has for sale as well. He has nine out of the top

ten spots on Spotify with songs from that album. So congratulations to him. I mean, it's a solid album. The worst part of Kanye's Jesus is King album is actually Kanye. Like the production is great.

The music is great. The guest appearances are great. But Kanye himself sucks on a lot of records. Well, I haven't listened to it. Did you listen, Envy? I heard it. I didn't necessarily love it. I thought it was cool. He just doesn't sound right on a lot of records. Well, I haven't listened to it. Did you listen, Envy? I heard it. I didn't necessarily love it.

I thought it was cool. He just doesn't sound right on a lot of records. Like, for example, on Use This Gospel with the Clips and Kenny G, I'm sure you listened to that. Yep.

Yeah, you know, he should have had someone else sing that hook. Or like on Everything We Need with Todd Dolla $ign and Ant Clemens, somebody else should be on that record.

Like, Ye should have opened this project up to other hip-hop artists and let them talk about their spirituality and God. Well, he had his IMAX movie, Jesus is King, as well. And that made more than $1 million globally at the box office. It's a 35-minute film.

And in addition to that, he did another interview, this time with Big Boy. You know, he did an interview with Zane Lowe last week. Well, this interview with Big Boy just came out also. And amongst the things he talks about is being canceled. We don't make Kobe's legacy be about one torn ligament and my legacy ain't about oh, he got mental health. That just come with the level of sport I'm playing

at. What you talking about? People's trying to sun me left and right. Strategize. I've been canceled. I've been canceled before they had cancel culture. I was canceled before they had the term. Do you care about any of that? I do. I care about everything. Kanye's legacy is not about him having

mental health. Where do you get that from? People think about him in that MAGA hat sucking Trump off in the Oval Office like Lewinsky did Clinton in the 90s. That's more of his legacy than... He also talks about racism. Nobody heard that. Why you bleep me? Can't say that's it all. Man, stop sucking Kanye off. Why you bleep me?

Can't. Why y'all keep dumping me? I can't. Dumped again. Why y'all keep dumping me? See, that's why I'm leaving. All right. You got one more time. Now here is racism. When I was sitting in front of white people and they thought,

I wouldn't thought you were like Trump because of the racism. So you mean to tell me I make every decision based off my color. The most racist thing a person could tell me is that I'm supposed to choose something based on my race. If that was the case, I wouldn't have never wore a pink polo. I wouldn't have never wear skinny jeans. Everywhere I go, people's pants smaller than mine.

And I'm the one you eat fish sticks because I have skinny jeans on. I'm so confused. It's not about the color of your skin. It's about the fact that we don't want a racist president doing racist things to our people. What fish sticks got to do with any of this? I don't know. I don't know.

All right. What do fish sticks have to do with anything? In addition to that, he says that he is not apologizing for anything. Me being taken to my lowest, being called a coon by my own people. The guy that said George Bush don't care about black people is a coon because I didn't say I'm gonna vote on Hillary Clinton. Another thing is like this idea of like apologizing. We'll apologize for saying George Bush don't care.

Apologize for running on stage with Taylor Swift. Apologize for wearing the wrong color hat. I ain't apologizing. Y'all dealing with grandpa now. You think I'm finna listen to somebody online tell me who I'm supposed to apologize for wearing the wrong color hat. I ain't apologizing. Y'all dealing with grandpa now. You think I'm finna listen to somebody online tell me who I'm supposed to apologize for? Let the record show, people with narcissistic personality

disorder rarely, if ever, apologize. And Daniel, our producer, just texted me and said Fish Sticks is the South Park episode when they made fun of Kanye for being gay. I don't know what's going on here. Oh, and I love South Park. And what I said that got bleeped was, I said Kanye's legacy is not about him having mental health. Mental health.

Elf. Okay? Like, people right now think about Kanye in that MAGA hat performing Felicio. There you go. You can say that. On Trump in the Oval Office. There you go. That's better than what you said before.

More so than they do the mental health thing. Remember when he was in the red hat and he was hugging them and all of that? You know what I mean? Well, Kanye also says that now moving forward, he won't be performing his old music because, you know, now he's only doing gospel music. We could play that beat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just adjusting. Even when I do Jesus Walks, I say, I say, we ain't trying to turn atheists into believers. Now I say we are turning

Atheists into believers And it be all offbeat and everything I be like yup there you go Alright so you can hear that whole thing Obviously shout out to Big Boy The album is cool You know what I'm saying But like I said the worst part of the album is actually Kanye West

Would you listen to it again? I really like Follow I think it's Follow God. Follow God is really, really dope. The production is amazing on that album. That's what I'm saying. The production is great. That beat coming, boom, boom.

It's Kanye. Boom, boom. Kanye sucks on a lot of records. He should have opened it up to other hip-hop artists and let them rap. He should have had other singers singing a lot of the hooks that he did. He should have really EP'd this album as opposed to being on it. Yeah, I don't know if I'll listen to it again. It was a good one-time listen.

I don't think I'll go back to it. But it was cool. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne! Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? Listen, for after the hour, we will talk about why some people can be daddies,

but not everybody can be a father. Let's talk about it. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Charlemagne, say the gang, don't get under the shade. Charlamagne,

you are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. It's the Breakfast Club, bitch.

Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey of the day for Monday, October 28th goes to a Brazilian man named Matheus Henrique Leroy Alves. He's 37 years old, and he is the daddy, the sperm donor of a young two-year-old who suffers from a degenerative disease that causes muscle weakness called, I'm going to mess this up, spinal

muscular atrophy. I think I did land that. I don't know. It sounds good to me. Now, the reason I call this man a daddy, a sperm donor, is because there's a difference between a daddy, a sperm donor, and an actual father. I feel like anybody can be a daddy, right? That's just my baby daddy, okay?

That's just simple biology. You put your penis in a woman, you shoot her club up, and you're somebody's daddy. Okay. That's just simple biology. You put your penis in a woman, you shoot her club up and you're somebody's daddy. But when you are somebody's father, okay, you are there every step of the way, micromanaging your child's situation. There is nothing that teaches you love and empathy like having children. Okay. You hurt when they hurt, you sick when they sick, when they sad, you're sad. When they are happy, you're happy. That's just the way it goes. And I don't know about how other parents handle it, but when I pray to God to keep divine protection around me and my family, I actually ask God to allow anything negative that could happen to my kids or wife, let it happen to me. Do you do that, Envy?

Yes. Okay. And I know everyone has to walk their own journeys in life, and your kids will face their own hardships. But if I could take on all of their hardships, I would, because that's what being a father is all about. Well, clearly Mateus didn't get that memo because his son is suffering from this disease and this disease requires that he take doses of a drug that costs 70 racks

of pop, yes, $70,000 a dose to help prevent the disease from advancing. Now, according to the New York Post, the family raised some money to keep their son alive. Okay, this is a GoFundMe I can get behind. Usually I see GoFundMes and I think to myself, go F yourself.

Okay, but this is one I could actually get behind simply because I hate to see kids suffering and I hate when people can't get the treatment they need simply because they can't afford it. Life of death shouldn't have a price tag attached to it. And clearly, a lot of other people felt that way too because they raised over $200,000 for this young man.

That's great, right? Yeah, it would have been if the young man's daddy, his sperm donor, didn't blow through the money. Let's go to Joe Barlett from WOR for the report, please. A Brazilian man named Matheus Alves was arrested after he blew through money raised for his boy's medical treatments on drugs, parties, and whores. According to reports, Mateus was arrested after his wife noticed withdrawals from the account. The dad was busted at a luxury hotel where he had stayed as he tore through the money and parties, jewelry, and prostitutes, in addition to booze and drugs. He told the officer he'd been extorted,

but authorities were unable to find any evidence of that attempt. I really love riding those for Joe. I knew he was going to land horse. I just knew it. I knew it. This is sad for a couple reasons. Number one, this young man's daddy is selfish, and he chose pleasures of the flesh over his own flesh and blood. And secondly, if treatments are $70,000 a pop and you raise $200,000,

there's absolutely no reason to spend all that money on hookers, especially in Brazil. Do you know how cheap hookers are in Brazil? Steven, I know you know. Okay? No, seriously. I knew that, but this morning I Googled the different types and costs of hookers in Brazil. Everybody knows Brazil is one of the best locations in the world for sex, and you can always buy some booty on a budget. You can get Brazilian street hookers.

Okay, the price range from $50 to $150. That's banging on a budget. You might feel a little sleazy because it's street meat, but whatever. Now, if you want to feel less guilty, you can get a Brazilian escort girl. That's more convenient. And the quality of said girl is better. Definitely a more expensive option than the street hooker. But still, the prices range from $100 to $300.

And sessions are typically one to two hours, right? Who's going to do more than an hour? Either way, you're still not getting close to blowing $200K. Now, you also have the Brazilian bar club girls, and you can spend some money here, because you've got to pay to get in the club. You've got to buy a few drinks. It's probably where the drugs come into play, because you're in the club.

And this can cost, depending on what club and the time of day. But prices are $15 to $50 to enter the club, and then they range from $100 to $350 to bring a girl back with you. Depending on how you negotiate. Even still, it sounds to me like drinks are the most expensive part of that whole

situation and you're still not getting close to blowing through $200,000. Now, if you start messing with the Brazilian massage brothel girls, that's where it gets pricey. You know, huh, Steve? Steve said, mm-hmm. Okay, Steve said, mm-hmm.

I had one for 10 years. You had one for 10 years? Oh, my God. That's called a wife, Steve. How you afford that working for Revolt? That's called a wife, Steve. Okay.

Now, you pay an entrance fee and you get the all-inclusive package. It can be like $420 for a 40-minute session. Either way, $200,000? Okay. You can pay for whores and your son's treatment if you care to.

But clearly, Mateus didn't care to, and that's the problem. And this is another example of how anyone can be a daddy, but not everyone can be a father. Please give Mateus Alves the biggest hee-haw, please. Now, Steve, what do you mean you was paying for a massage brothel girl for 10 years? Come on. I need to hear more about this story. You was paying for a Brazilian? I thought you meant hooker.

Brazilian hooker. You had a hooker for 10 years? Yeah, I married her. Oh! I'm staying away from that conversation. Hey, can we play Joe Bartlett saying whores one more time, please? For the culture and for Steven? Whores.

Gosh. I think that's what he wanted to say just now about his ex-wife. That was harsh. This is awkward. Wow. All right. Happy Monday. You want to say something else?

You want to go double down? I just want to shout out my dog, Fritz, at home again. Yeah, boy. All right. Now, you know the crazy thing? his ex-wife took the dog. They had a dog together, and his ex-wife took the other dog. No. Yeah, she took the dog.

Wow, Steven. Wow. All right. All right. Don't get Steven started. This whole Brazilian horror story triggered him this morning. Wow. My God.

All right. Up next, T.I. will be joining us. Thank you for that doggy of the day. We'll kick it with T.I. when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country?

My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets.

Bullet holes, yeah. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever 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 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? Thank you. High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams

and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm rhythm of this thing alicia keys like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts morning everybody it's dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. T.I. What's going down? Welcome, sir. Do radio interviews seem different to you now since you got a podcast?

I'll tell you then. Yeah. How do you like doing the podcast? Man, it's dope. It's dope. It's surprisingly dope. It's not something that I actually uh had in my my five-year plan you know it allows me an opportunity to really have uh worthwhile discussions you know and i think that it's a better platform

to just go and just like you know putting it out on instagram right i listen to it every week man y'all really be talking about like even this week with you and the wife i'm like boy y'all like it's almost like y'all didn't know that y'all was recording this to give to people. Yeah, I don't care nothing about that s***, man. Is that one difficult, you and the wife? Nah, man. Like, we, man, look, man, we go back and forth with kids like that all the time. All day long, you know what I'm saying?

I'm on her head about something. And, you know what I'm saying? She don't mind, you know, pointing out where she feel like, you know, I might be able to do better, you know. So I think that it's good for people to see a healthy banter back and forth between husband and wife. Does it ever go too far? Oh, of course. Of course it does. And you're going to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's talk about this outside of the podcast.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, I haven't experienced that. But you know me, man, I'm pretty much an open book, though. You know what I mean? I don't really have that much to hide, you know me man i'm pretty much an open book though you know i mean i don't really have that much to hide you know uh i think with me and her it's more like her demeanor because when she get excited she started like yelling and talking like extra ghetto you know something like what's up you you want to fight how you talking so tough you dig it i'm saying right now y'all talked about uh marital situations and problems.

Cheating. Now, how was that conversation? Because black men... So you were trying to avoid a Wendy Williams situation. Well, I mean, it played out on the podcast. It went just like you heard it. Exactly like that. When the podcast is over, the podcast is over. Y'all don't reflect on what y'all spoke about.

Nah, nah, nah, nah. We don't linger. That's the healthy part about it. What did the other rappers say to you about your 50 greatest rappers of all time list? Did any rappers hit you up? It's different when it's coming from a rapper. Yeah, but look though, you know what? First of all, that wasn't my list and my list alone.

Okay. It was a round table of constituents. A collective democracy that led to that list. Some things on it I agree with and some things I don't. But let me see, what calls did I get? I got a call from Killer Mike. Really?

I got a call from Killer Mike and said, hey, man, people really want me to be upset about this, but I can't. What does it mean to be last place in first class I'm happy to be amongst you know I appreciate y'all even considering me he was number 50 on the list yeah yeah I mean you know I would happily be number 50 yeah I don't mind you know what I'm saying because that don't dictate or determine my life and how I actually live and what I really mean to people.

Correct. It's just opinions and you'll never get a perfect list. Now you put Pac over Hov. Why was that? Oh, you know what? Hov called me.

We were talking about something else, you know, something that's completely non-related, you know what I'm saying? And then this, and then he said,

oh, and by the way. You know what I'm saying? And then this, and then he said, oh, and by the way. You know what I'm saying? Oh, and by the way, you really believe that? And I said, yeah. When it come to impact, I do. Impact? Yeah. Only reason I say that, because time shows, like, Hov's still around.

No disrespect to Pac, God bless the devil, but Hov's still around. I think Hov is the greatest rapper alive. And I think over time, man, yeah, you know, he's eventually, he's going to assume that position. I think you're number one now. Okay. I think you're number one now. And the only reason I say that, one thing about Pac, man,

Pac didn't get a chance to, his influence is seen everywhere, but he didn't get a chance to, his influence is seen everywhere, but he didn't get a chance to actually put on a J. Cole, put on a, you know, Kanye. You know what I mean? I mean, absolutely. Pac is like the hip-hop Michael Jackson.

You know that, right? Like, you can go anywhere, any part of the globe and say Tupac. Right. And they're going to sing a Tupac song. And Jay, as much as we love him, as many parts of the globe as you can for Pac, it's not the same instant.

They don't just go to reciting Jay records like that. So when we do these lists, it's based off impact, not actual skill set. Yeah, yeah. I don't think it's based off actual skill set. Okay, okay, okay. Because it may be a lot of people that ain't even on the list. And I also raised the point that people who, I thought Kanye should come down. Because I don't think if you don't write your own lyrics, I don't think you should be high up in the list.

A lot of people said Biggie. I got outvoted. A lot of people said that Jay-Z was so influenced by Biggie. You know, quoting his lyrics, quoting his rhymes and things like that.

Biggie might have been higher than Hov on that list. Well, I think that is arguable. I raised that point in our discussion. I honestly think, again, if we're talking lyricism,

I think Big, he was a better lyricist, but I think Pop had, I mean, excuse me, I think think Jay has had a greater impact. Gotcha. You know what I mean? That's the list we need to make, just the straight lyricists. Yeah.

Who are the greatest lyricists of all time? We're just talking bars. Well, Jay would probably be on top of that list. Absolutely. Jay would be on top of that list. Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nas, 3000, Scarface, Black Thought, Rakim. I don't know if I'd put Wayne on that list, man. And I like Wayne.

You can't not put Wayne on that list. I think Wayne. Oh, Jadakiss. Jadakiss. Styles. You can't not put, you know. I think Wayne flowing delivery is what's out of this world. His lyrical content, not so much.

Nah, man. Listen, man. Listen. You better use the latex because you don't want the latex that I think I'm latexed. If I tweet that right now, they'll be like, if you don't sit your dumb ass down, y'all ain't listening. But listen, though. That is what you call a triple entendre.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You see what I'm saying? That is, like, as far as literature goes, that is extremely difficult to accomplish, and let alone applying it to music in present-day cultural circumstances. That is extremely difficult to do. Especially when, as inebriated as we know,

Wayne was at the time when he did it. You know what I'm saying? I think that's just, I think it's an incredible skill set. I like stories from beginning, middle, to the end. Like, one of your most slept on records to me is, I ain't scared, and I ain't run, here I stand. Oh, no matter what. That's, no matter what, man. Yeah, yeah, appreciate it.

Every single verse. I appreciate that. But that's content, you know what I mean? Like, you ain't waste. I appreciate that. But that's content. You know what I mean? You ain't waste a bar on that. Yeah, I don't really. Man, you know what? I really don't put.

I don't think of myself like when I think of what I think in the top list. Really? Yeah, man. I do so much. I do so much. I think you got to think of me as like, you know what I'm saying? Like moguls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying, like moguls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I want to be on the mogul list. All right, we got more with T.I. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. E.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with T.I.

Charlamagne. When you're on Rhythm & Flow, what do you look for? You look for impact? You look for lyrics? What do you look for? Let's talk about Rhythm & Flow. Some people might not know what Rhythm & Flow is. I doubt it, they know

I believe so The analytics tell me that On the global spectrum You know, it's pretty popular Nah man, but for those who don't Rhythm and Flow is a hip hop competition show With me, Chance, and Cardi that came out

three weeks ago on Netflix. Was it tough to watch back the Nipsey episode? Yeah. Yeah, it was. It was.

I mean, even as numb as, oh, that's another call I got back to Liz. Lauren called me. Really? Yeah, Lauren called me. She said,

bro, 40-something? I was like, yo, sis. Sis. Did you listen to the whole? She said, no, I didn't listen to the whole thing. I just saw the list.

I said, man, come on, man. I said, but the thing is, by the time everybody knew who bro was, you know, he was already gone. You know what I mean? But if we talking impact, I mean, I know it hasn't been a year yet, but Nip looked like he top ten right now at least. Yes, this is true. And I argue that point.

I would have loved to have traded Nip for Kanye's place. Easily. But the room would not. Nah, you can't though. What you mean? Not impact. If we talking impact, he ain't top three. But then also writing your own lyrics. Nip wrote every word came out of his mouth. Yeah, though. What you mean? Not impact. Not impact. If we talking impact, you ain't top three. But then also writing your own lyrics.

He wrote, Nip wrote every word came out of his mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nip wrote every word came out of his mouth. I guess we got to figure out all the criteria. What is all the criteria? Correct. Well, I mean, I think we just came up with one of them. Yeah, definitely got to be able to write.

You got to be, you got to, I mean, if you have already admitted to having people write your verses and lyrics for you, I believe that gives you an asterisk. It bumps you down. How you in the convo with Lauren? Nah, man, that's my sister. I was like, come on, sis, thaw me out. You know what I'm saying? You know, and we had a laugh about it and started talking about something else.

Now you asked him a question About criteria Yeah how do you pick The artists on Rhythm and Flow then I mean I think Individuality Authenticity Skill set

Vision And their story And who's the most Prepared You dig what I'm saying Cause I saw a lot of Talented people That weren't

Necessarily prepared If you watch The whole season You'll hear me say over and over again, success is when preparation meets opportunity. Hey, you know what I meant to ask you? Why did you say Iggy was your biggest mistake? I didn't say my biggest mistake. I said, somebody said, what in your career? The question was, what in your career do you think you still have to accomplish?

And I said, well, I got to find and I said well I gotta find and I gotta introduce another female to the game that can undo the blunder of Iggy Azalea why was she a blunder though well I mean I really feel like like she was meant to be great she was for a moment see that no no no no what happened was in my this is just my opinion, and mind you, I didn't say this to really speak down on Charlotte. This is my truth. I feel like when she found out white people liked her and she didn't really need black people to like her anymore, she switched up, started acting different, made moves that I wasn't proud of, that kind of placed my reputation

in the line of fire. And she was very arrogant about it. And I feel like that energy, you know, led to motherfuckers like, yeah, we ain't fucking with that. You know, and also outside of,

like, the raps were dope at first. Of course, she had... Writers. Help. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? at first of course she had writers help you know the same but you know it was dope at first and then it and then she exposed herself so much and you know and it just with the sway freestyle I love it check everything Twitter you know just all of it and I feel like it of, it undid all the good that was done.

A lot of that wasn't your fault, though. No, no, it wasn't. That's what I'm saying. But I'll talk it up. You took a white girl from Australia, and she had a number one record, and for a moment her name was in the conversation. That's right. That was a win to me.

I mean, listen. Because if you put that on paper, that ain't going to work. A white woman from Australia tip, I want you to sign it. You'd be like, what? Yeah, I know it, but I mean, it just has so much more that on paper, that ain't going to work. A white woman from Australia tip, I want you to sign it. You'd be like, what? Yeah, I know it. But, I mean, it just has so much more potential. It could have been so bigger. It could have been so, you know what I mean?

I mean, man. Could it still be? Man. Tip like that on my watch. I mean, I'm just saying, I'm not going to take that risk no more. I'm not going to put my reputation in jeopardy no more for it. How about they are their biggest problem? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, man, and we got to take a, let's just take a moment. Yes, sir. Because we did not address Charlemagne and I being at the most prolific upscale black event ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. With Tyler Perry. Oh, Tyler Perry's event. Yeah, yeah.

That was life changing. Listen, man. I've never seen so much black excellence in one room before. I just kept thinking, if these hateful racist whites was to drop a bomb right here, right now, the whole movement is gone. It'd change a lot of s***. It'd change a lot of s***. That's like bombing Black Wall Street.

No, for real. Because you had a lot of people in there, not just entertainers. You had, you know, tech people in there, business people. Yeah, man. Everybody from Hank Aaron and Ambassador Young to Oprah to Denzel to me, J.D., Charlamagne, 2 Chainz, Usher. You know what I'm saying? It was so, I mean, Taraji.

Yeah, man. You know what I'm saying? The Clintons. So many. J.B. You know you I'm saying? It was so, I mean, Taraji. Yeah, man. You know what I'm saying? The Clintons. It was so many. J.B. You know, they're not black. J.B., yep. Yeah, man, they're not black.

You know what I'm saying? It made me respect them a little bit more, though. Just a tad bit, only because they didn't have to be there. I mean, this is the thing. Of course, they're the Clintons. They once ran the country. I mean, but you got to give them the credit for the things that they did. 94 crime bill, absolutely. Yeah, 100%. They ran the country. So,, but you gotta give them the credit for the things that they did. 94 crime bill, absolutely. 100%.

So, you know what I'm saying? But none as much as this mother****** in there. He is dastardly. It's like they put Yosemite Sam in the White House. Mother******.

Diabolical. This mother****** is... Oh, man. I don't see no end to it either. I'm telling you, Diabolical This motherfucker is Oh man I don't see no end to it either I'm telling you Even when they telling everybody to run out there and vote I'm going to go vote of course And I encourage everybody to vote I think the only person who can beat him is Bernie

Man they got to pass an election security bill first I think the only person who can beat him With the heart attack We need a strong vice president Yes a black woman I think Andrew Gilliam With the heart attack? Even with the, I take, we need a strong vice president. Yes, a black woman. It's got to be a black woman. Well, no, I think Andrew Gilliam as the vice president will work.

I think that'll work. You know what I'm saying? I think you got to have a woman with you. I think you got to have a woman, specifically a woman of color. So Stacey Abrams. Stacey Abrams is dope. Think about women. it's very difficult for a woman to come off like a stern and and and solid and you know and mean what they say and not come off like mean you know they do that the woman of color a lot women of color that are like bold and like really

strong and say what they want to say to be like oh she angry they do they do label them like that I mean you know even Hillary Clinton you know saying was like that she just looked like she, they did. I mean, you know, even Hillary Clinton, you know what I'm saying, was like that. She just looked like, she looked mean. You dig what I'm saying? She just looked mean. Like the grandmama house you don't want to go to. That's kind of our fault, though, right? We got to change our perception, right?

Because I look at somebody like Senator Harris, she's a prosecutor. We know she tough on crime or whatever, but people look at her. She did some bullshit, too. She did some bullshit, too. People look at her and say, oh, she angry. She come off as mean. She not likable. That's what they say.

She not likable. Yeah, she did some bullshit, too. I take Stacey over Kevin. And I don't want to say anything negative about our sister. You know what I'm saying? What I will say is I think that she has some reconnecting with the people to do. That I agree. You know what I'm saying? That I agree. She has some reconnecting with the people to do that I agree yes that I agree she hasn't reconnected with the people to do but I think it's not too

late and it's still possible for but if I were making a decision today okay I would go with Stacy however I would go with mr. Gilliam eat over even Stacy it's just happy I feel. Interesting. All right. Well, T.I., we thank you for doing this. That's my guy. Right on, man. We appreciate you, brother.

Already. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You did. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let me shout out to my aunt, my Aunt V, who listens all the time. She's been riding with us. She's feeling a little under the weather. are, the Breakfast Club. Let me shout out to my aunt, my aunt V, who listens all the time. She's been riding with us. She's feeling a little under the weather. She's in the hospital. So I just wanted to say good morning, aunt V. I know you're listening this morning and I love you. Anyway, let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Gayle King. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

So, Gayle King was on with Desus and Mero, and she talked about her R. Kelly interview. And, now, this is really gross, because I hate when this happens, when people are talking to you and a little bit of their spittle lands on you. Oh, my gosh. Isn't that the grossest thing? That happened to me one time. It was right on my lip. And I'm like, man, I got to go get tested because I don't know where this guy has been before.

And I'm sure that's what Gayle King was thinking. Here's what she said. See, I never thought that he was going to hurt me, guys. But when he was doing this, I thought he might accidentally hurt me. And I was worried about that because he was, you know, you could tell he could hit hard. Right. But he was spitting and was flying all over the place and the spit fell on my lip right here. So I just sat there like this thinking, I don't want to look oh somebody give me some some well you know if somebody does

that to you you know you can just very gracefully or discreetly go like that but i knew i couldn't make any sudden movements on the camera very amped up as you say right oh because you can't just lick that away anyway that's not what i'll tell. I'm definitely getting tested. But shout out to Gil King. She actually told me this story when I saw her in St. Tropez for Magic Johnson's birthday. That sound like I was name dropping? You did.

It's exciting. I like Gil King a lot. All right. Now, Felicity Huffman. She's been released from prison after 11 days of her 14 day sentence. And everybody's trying to get that first interview with her now. Okay.

So she entered prison last Tuesday and then out and about again already. Wow. So, yeah, there you have it. They said, you know, she is embarrassed and she's just ready to get all of this behind her. Mm-hmm. You think they'll pay her for that first interview? Yes, they will.

Is that really a loss now for her? No, because she still looks like she's getting money and she doesn't have to serve no real time. Although I wouldn't want to go to jail for not even one day. Yeah, you're right. But still, this seems completely unfair based on what we see other people getting charged with and then

what she did. You got 11 days. I'm not even going to say it. Joker is the number one movie at the box office yet again. So four weekends after it was released in the U.S., it's back at the top. It's going to be big this week, too, because Halloween, of course, people are going to go back to see it. I didn't like Joker the first time I seen it. I know.

You told me that because we were at the theater at the same time. I thought it was great. And then when I got home that day, I actually did my homework because I thought Joker was going to be like Dark Knight. It was action and it was going to be a lot of shooting and bang bang but then when I read about it it was the origin of the Joker and then I loved it because then I got it. But I loved it. I'm going to go see it again. You couldn't tell it was the origin of the Joker while you were watching it?

I don't watch the Marvel DC. I mean I know it was the origin. I don't either but. I thought it was going to be more shooting and stuff. There was a bit of violence in that movie. Not too much. It was very grotesque. Not like Dark Knight. Alright well anyway they're back at number one. Okay, so Dave East. He's not in trouble anymore.

And if you guys recall, he was having a three-way in Vegas. Things went completely wrong. He even ended up getting a concussion during this three-way gone wrong. Now, he was cited for a misdemeanor battery in Vegas last month. They said there were bottles being thrown, punches being thrown. And according to Dave East, he said that one of the ladies was the one that started throwing the champagne bottles

at him from across the room. And he said that two of those bottles did make contact and he did go and get a CAT scan and apparently he did have a concussion. So now everything has been dropped. So I don't know. Maybe he'll never try that again. All right, I'm Angela Yee

and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Maybe he'll never try that again. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, People's Choice Mix is up next. Get your request in, 800-585-1051. Now, don't forget, Angela Yee is heading out to Maryland today. Yes, I'll be in Silver Spring.

Me She So Crazy is on there and DJ Quicksilver. So we're going to have a good time out in D.C. with my girls for Lip Service Live. And listen, I want to salute everybody that was at Marquette University yesterday. I was speaking there doing a great conversation about black emotional health and wellness

and just encouraging people to invest in today's mental wealth. Salute to Crescendo Lee and the Black Student Council of Marquette. Salute to them. And today, I will be at Winthrop University from 2 to 4 p.m. with my homie, Tanitra Williams, as well as Marianne Williamson. And we'll be having a conversation on improving mental health awareness and it's free food and it's free conversation. So from two to 4 PM, went to university,

pull up on me. We'll be there, uh, telling people to invest, encouraging people to invest in a mental wealth. Okay. Yes. All right.

When we come back, positive notes. So don't move. It's the breakfast club. E J M V Angela. Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we are,

the breakfast club. Now Charlemagne, you got a positive note. Yes, man. Uh, the positive note is simply this. For anybody who needs a little bit of encouragement on this fine Monday, just know that whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come, okay? Remember

everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome, and that should give you the energy to keep going. Breakfast Club, bitches! We all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.

This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that?
